Help me resolve my anxiousness
As my first time trying to have a baby, I am really anxious and want to know more on the complications associated with pregnancy. We have a diabetic history runs from the family, my father died due to complications from his diabetes. I am a candidate for a diabetic as well as I like taking sweet foods. How can I avoid having a diabetic baby? Is it possible for me to have a normal delivery in the future?

Hi mjdingky,
Diabetes does tend to run in families, but I am a firm believer in the fact that you can reduce the risk of your child developing diabetes by doing 4 months of preconception care.
You and your husband should make changes in your diet and lifestyle now because it takes 4 months for an egg to fully develop to a point where it can be fertilized, and it takes 4 months for sperm to be made. Thus, if you start now in making some positive changes, this will impact the egg that will be released 4 months later, and it will impact the sperm that will be swimming 4 months later.
You will find an excellent article on Preconception Care on this website that was written by the owner of this website, Jane Palmer.
Things that you can do during your pregnancy that will lower the chances of you developing gestational diabetes would be to stop eating sugar. We know that white flour products turn to sugar very quickly in the body, so I would definitely limit those items as well.
Then make sure you are getting plenty of dark leafy greens and try to eat 2 big green salads each day.
Add in some exercise every day (even if it's just walking around the block for 30 minutes) and these two things (changing diet and adding exercise) will give you a better chance of having a smaller baby and being healthy during your pregnancy.
How long have you been trying to get pregnant, or have you started yet? If you've been trying for a few months, please let me know what your cycle lengths are like as there is a condition called PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) which is the number one cause of infertility and is closely related to diabetes. One of the indications of this is having periods that are irregular and more than 35 days in length (though I had a friend who had PCOS and she always had 28 day cycles).
Warm Regards,

Retailers in most states now have the option to charge a fee to consumers who pay with a credit card. The new "checkout fee," in effect since Jan. 27, is the result of a multibillion dollar settlement announced last summer between credit card issuers and millions of merchants.
Visa, MasterCard and nine major banks agreed to pay $7.25 billion to settle charges that they were fixing credit card processing fees. Credit card issuers agreed as part of the deal to reduce the "swipe fees" that merchants pay to issuers when cards are used, but only for eight months.
Additionally, the settlement granted retailers the option to add a surcharge for credit card purchases, beginning Jan. 27. The charge can be no higher than the processing fee, which is about 1.5% to 3% of the total purchase price.
The new checkout fee does not apply to purchases made using debit cards, and it is not legal to charge the new fee in 10 states, including California, Connecticut, New York and Texas.
In November, the National Retail Federation and more than a dozen retailers asked a judge to reject the proposed settlement, arguing that the new fees threaten a merchant's ability to keep prices low for customers.
Last summer, Target said it did not plan to tack on a charge customers who use credit cards more "in order to allow Visa and MasterCard to continue charging unfair fees." Wal-Mart called the agreement "bad for both retailers and consumers."
Smaller merchants are also faced with the dilemma: Do they transfer the cost to customers in an already competitive environmen
t or continue to absorb what they consider to be excessive swipe fees?
MasterCard said in a statement that it doesn't expect most merchants to implement the surcharge, since they won't want to drive away customers.
USA Technologies, the Malvern, PA-based cashless vending provider, implemented a two-tier pricing option for its customers last January that allows them to charge a standard vend price for credit or debit card transactions, and a discounted price for cash purchases. It was being used in 11,000 locations in December. | SEE STORY

• SABMiller plc, Anadolu Group (Anadolu Endüstri Holding A.Ş., Yazıcılar Holding A.Ş. and Özilhan Sınai Yatırım A.Ş.), and Anadolu Efes Biracılık ve Malt Sanayii A.Ş. ("Anadolu Efes") agree a strategic alliance for Turkey, Russia, the CIS, Central Asia and the Middle East ("the Territory")
• SABMiller to transfer its Russian and Ukrainian beer businesses to Anadolu Efes
• Anadolu Efes to transfer a 24% equity stake to SABMiller by way of a capital increase
• Anadolu Efes to be the vehicle for both groups' investments in the Territory
• Following the capital increase, the Anadolu Group will control 42.81% of Anadolu Efes's enlarged share capital
• Pursuant to a shareholders' agreement between the Anadolu Group and SABMiller, the Anadolu Group will maintain control of Anadolu Efes after completion of the capital increase and business contribution. SABMiller will have customary minority protection rights
• The combined Russian business will have a strong number 2 position in value share terms, with a highly attractive brand portfolio and is expected to yield significant cost synergies of at least US$120m per year, and provide additional revenue synergy opportunities
• Anadolu Efes and SABMiller to share best practice and Anadolu Efes to develop SABMiller's international brands in the Territory
• The transaction is subject to confirmatory due diligence, execution of legally binding documentation, regulatory approvals and approval by Anadolu Efes's shareholders in General Assembly of the increase in Anadolu Efes's share capital
SABMiller and Anadolu Efes today announce their intention to form a strategic alliance in terms of which Anadolu Efes will be the vehicle for both groups' investments in the Territory and SABMiller will transfer its beer businesses in Russia and Ukraine to Anadolu Efes. Anadolu Efes will issue 142,105,263 new Anadolu Efes shares to SABMiller, representing a 24% equity stake post capitalisation in the enlarged Anadolu Efes.
In recognition of the long-term nature of the partnership, SABMiller and the Anadolu Group will enter into a shareholders' agreement to ensure that the Anadolu Group will continue to exercise majority control over Anadolu Efes. SABMiller will be represented on the Anadolu Efes Board and will have customary minority investment protection rights. It will also be represented on the board of the combined business in Russia. In addition, both parties have agreed to provide appropriate rights of first offer at fair market value in the event of either party seeking to sell any sharesin Anadolu Efes.
SABMiller and Anadolu Efes value SABMiller's Russian and Ukrainian businesses at an enterprise value of approximately US$1.9bn.
In exchange for transferring its Russian and Ukrainian businesses to Anadolu Efes, SABMiller will receive a loan note.Subject to Anadolu Efes shareholders' approval of a non pre-emptive capital increase, Anadolu Efes will issue 142,105,263 new Anadolu Efes shares to SABMiller, representing a 24% equity stake, post capitalisation, in Anadolu Efes. The proceeds of the capital increase will be used to immediately redeem the loan note.
Transaction Rationale
The strategic alliance will result in the enlarged Anadolu Efes strengthening its leading position across the Territory:
• The number 2 market position, in value terms, in the large Russian beer market with a valuable portfolio of brands across key market segments, the footprint to compete on a national basis, and value creation through significant cost synergies and potential revenue synergies
• A leading market position in Turkey with 89% share of the beer market and a 69% share of the carbonated soft drinks market via Anadolu Efes's 50.3% interest in Coca-Cola Icecek. Turkey is one of the world's high growth economies, with a large population of 74 million people and forecast real (PPP) GDP growth of 5.4% p.a. to 2015 (source EIU)
• Leading market positions in the growth beer markets of Kazakhstan, Moldova and Georgia
• A high quality portfolio of international and local brands.
Additionally, Anadolu Efes and SABMiller will benefit from the opportunity to distribute each other's international brands across their respective platforms (subject to existing contractual arrangements) and the sharing of best practice.
The transaction is expected to be EPS enhancing for both Anadolu Efes and SABMiller in the first full year following completion.
Commenting on the announcement, Tuncay Özilhan, Chairman of Anadolu Efes and Anadolu Group, said, "We are delighted to join forces with such a strong business partner as SABMiller and to enlarge the Anadolu Efes business in Russia and Ukraine as we believe this will enable us to better capitalize on the potential growth opportunities in our operating region in line with our long term growth plans". Mr. Özilhan also added "In addition to the significant synergy opportunities available to us as a result of this partnership, we will command a much stronger position in Russia. Moreover, this deal will further strengthen our overall presence in our operating region as a whole and add significant value to both Anadolu Efes and SABMiller stakeholders."
Graham Mackay, Chief Executive of SABMiller, said, "Both SABMiller and Anadolu Efes have proved to be successful operators in diverse and challenging emerging beer markets and this strategic alliance will allow both our groups to benefit from each other's expertise, and the combination of our resources. Anadolu Efes's leading position in beer and soft drinks in the Turkish market and an alliance for further growth and acquisitions in the CIS and Middle East are highly attractive. The prospects for these markets are excellent. They exhibit positive long term demographic, GDP and beer market growth outlooks. We have admired the achievements of Anadolu Efes for many years and we are looking forward to working closely with them in the future."
Approval Process and Timetable
Anadolu Group, Anadolu Efes and SABMiller have entered into exclusive negotiations and expect to agree definitive legal documentation as soon as possible and to complete the transaction before year end, subject to obtaining clearance from the competition authorities in relevant territories and any other necessary regulatory clearances, and the approval of Anadolu Efes's shareholders at a General Meeting.
The Anadolu Group has irrevocably undertaken to vote in favour of the necessary resolutions in the General Assembly of Anadolu Efes shareholders.
A further announcement will be made in due course.

Dr. King's words are as relevant today as they were almost 44 years ago; they could have been spoken yesterday.
AN ACT OF STATE: THE EXECUTION OF MARTIN LUTHER KING - Singer-songwriter Vic Sadot (http://www.youtube.com/user/vasyvic wrote (in part) in a recent email:
William Pepper is a legendary American author, British barrister, and King family lawyer. Martin Luther King contacted William Pepper after reading an article Pepper had written in Ramparts magazine about the effects of the Vietnam War on the children of Vietnam. He invited Pepper to speak to his congregation, which was the beginning of a life-long friendship with MLK and his family. William Pepper continued to investigate the assassination of MLK for years, and he represented the King family in court. The King family and William Pepper got considerable criticism in the mainstream press for stating that they did not believe that James Earl Ray was the killer of King. In 1999 they won a trial in a Memphis, Tennessee court from a jury of six whites and six blacks. They won a unanimous conviction of Loyd Jowers and "unnamed government conspirators" for the murder of Martin Luther King. King was executed in broad daylight at the Lorraine Motel on April 4, 1968. Jowers was the owner of Jim's Grill across the street from the Lorraine Motel where some of the assassination planning was done. Jowers and waitresses from that era gave testimony that persuaded the American jury that there was a "conspiracy" to execute Dr King. William Pepper later wrote a book about the trial and the lack of fair or even any media coverage in the case of their victory. William Pepper's book is called "An Act of State: The Execution of Martin Luther King".
An Act of State: The Execution of Martin Luther King
This song was written by Mike Millius on the night of April 4, 1968.

One Geek Nation reviews MarlowFriday, August 17th, 2012
One Geek Nation reviewed Marlow recently and below is a sampling of it! Be sure to head over to their site by CLICKING HERE to read it in full.
Marlow succeeds where so many other books fail, it takes the social undertones going in the world and it points them out. The selfishness, the zombie lifestyle, not thinking about anything, just doing what you're told. This book tries to make you think about things, and really respect Aaron Thomas Nelson for trying to do that.
To order a copy of Marlow, keep reading!
Diamond Code: SEP118014
Arcana Project Site: http://www.arcana.com/view_title.php?id=63
Written By: Aaron Nelson
Art By: Dario Carrasco
Marlow is a zombie story inspired by Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness". It's about one man's journey into the darkness of his soul, and his discovery that perhaps we're all zombies. Marlow is an ex-Marine caught in a dilemma impossible to solve: commit atrocious acts for a global corporation in order to receive medicine that keeps him from reverting to a zombie state, or walk away and suffer the fate of becoming some terrible creature. Struggling with his fears of his affliction and the monster he might become, Marlow abandoned his wife and young daughter, losing his dignity and freedom as he chose a nihilistic life. It is only during this journey told in the story that Marlow realizes that perhaps by avoiding suffering he has become like the zombies he so fears to become and that the only way out is to suffer his fate and become one. "Marlow is a zombie tale about suffering and its part in our humanity, and, in that sense, not about zombies at all.

So the Christmas shopping season is in full swing . . . is there something special that you want for Christmas this year?
Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza Rolls
1 roll refrigerated pizza dough
1 packet ranch dressing mix (I really like the Hidden Valley brand)
2 Tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
1 Tablespoon olive oil or melted butter
Sharp cheddar cheese, cut into tiny cubes (I used half cheddar cheese and half mozzarella cheese)
8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
About 1 cup shredded, cooked chicken
3/4 cup mayo
3/4 cup milk
Measure out 1 teaspoon of ranch dressing mix and combine it with 1 1/2 T parmesan cheese. Set aside. Combine the remaining ranch mix with 3/4 C mayo and 3/4 C milk and place in the fridge to chill.
Preheat oven to heat specified on pizza dough package (usually it's around 400-425 degrees).
Unroll your pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat or roll the dough so it's about 12″ by 8″. Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into 24 squares. Place cheese and desired toppings on each square.
When all of your dough squares have cheese and toppings on them, carefully lift up each square and wrap the dough around the toppings (Grab the four corners first and then squeeze the seams shut). Place each roll seam side down in a lightly sprayed pie pan (or similar sized dish- I used a 9×11″ and had plenty of room). Brush with melted butter or olive oil and sprinkle with the parmesan-ranch mixture.
Place your rolls in the oven. I've noticed baking time really depends on the type of dough I'm using. Whether it's different brands from the store, or homemade dough, they all take different amounts of time. Set your timer for 10 minutes and check on them after that. They may take up to 15 or 20 minutes to be completely done. Take them out when they're lightly golden on top.
Serve them warm with a side of freshly made ranch dressing for dipping.

The game got off to a cautious start with neither team wanting to be exposed too early in the game. 10 minutes in, disaster struck Crostyx and threatened to derail a promising start from the Purple Train. The central midfield dynamo Dan Hunn, was struck by a game ending back injury. Nevertheless, the purple train pushed on, with Andreas Vasilliou now at the helm of the midfield we took an early advantage thanks to the silky northern skill of Billy Bowes
Waltham Forest then unleashed a handful daring attacks at the Crostyx goal late into the first half, including one that required a inspirational goal line clearance from or leader Captain, Joe Whitehead. Would Waltham forest have what it takes to compromise the purple fortress of the Crosytx defence?
Half time saw a textbook inspirational speech from the ever present Coach, Simon Blockley reminding an exhausted team that victory was within our sights.
As expected, the second half got off to a fast paced start, with Waltham forest determined to make back the deficit from the first half.
Before Waltham forest knew it they received another punishing blow from the Purple train unleashed by none other that Rob Harrison.
Just as we thought that we had sent Waltham Forest packing, down the road with their tails between their legs, they unleashed wave upon wave of fierce attacks at the Crostyx goal, one of which required Keeper, Ian Baldwin to whip out his acrobatic skills that would leave the cast of Cirque de Soleil wondering how he did it.
Eventually after a number of weak short corners, Waltham Forest finally managed to convert, much to the dismay of the team and the fans, which at this moment was at least 7 strong.
Spurred on by the possibility of drawing and only picking up one point, in this grudge match to rival all grudge matches, the purple train cranked it up a gear. A quick 16 reached the stick of James Lawes. The turn that was to follow was so slick, the two Waltham Forest players he beat stood aghast. The ball was then played up to Billy Bowes who, with one thing in sight, threw a shoulder that left the keeper confused and slotted home the goal that was to be the nail in Waltham Forests coffin.
After what seemed like an age, the final whistle went and the Purple Train reached its final destination, Victory Station! 3-1 Crostyx!!!

So, it turns out there was already a tool capable of exploiting what I discovered, the only thing I am is the first person to notice this flaw on the maker routers, and now, bring it to public. The affected router brand is Thomson and, as I recently got access to a latest model of this routers (TG784n)*, I have to re-phrase my initial statement. This flaw can only be found on older models of this brand of routers.
*: I found a colleague with this kind of router, and he gave me visual access to the router (the only thing I needed to test the flaw) and the wireless key I got trough the calculations differed from the default wireless key found in the sticker. So I assume that newer models (maybe from 2010/11 to the future) do not have this vulnerability.
In order to explain my findings, I have to introduce some background:
As some (or all, given that we are on a security related forum) of you may know, back in 2008, Kevin Devine discovered a flaw in SpeedTouch and Thomson routers that would allow him to calculate the default wireless encryption key for each router. He released a tool capable of calculating and providing the user with the default password, only using the last 6 characters of the default SSID (More info @ GNUCitizen.org ).
But, somewhat around 2010, Thomson fixed this vulnerability by changing the last 6 digits of the default SSID (now they match the last 6 digits of the wireless interface MAC address, instead of the last 6 digits from the sha1 hash [read link above]). Unfortunately, it was still insecure, since with Kevin's findings, it was possible to generate a password list for every router made in 2010/2011 (and now 2012) that would substantially reduce the brute-force attack time against a WPA handshake (I talked about this vulnerability in this forums a while back, a quick search should reveal it). That must be why they changed the whole algorithm in newer models.
Now, with the recent discovery of WPS vulnerabilities, one of them being that the routers give too much information about themselves, such as maker, model and Serial Number ("Oh!" you say ), it was easy to develop a way to use this information to get the default wireless key:
Using a tool called wpscan (not the WordPress one) developed by SourceSec, an attacker could get a output like this (values are fictional):
From this, an attacker could check if the router has this flaw (by checking the model, in blue) and if it was vulnerable, he would grab the Serial Number and start the calculation process:Code:root@bt~#:wpscan -i mon0 BSSID: 01:23:45:94:0D:89 ESSID: Thomson940D89 ---------------------------------------------------------- Version : 0x10 WPS State : 0x02 Response Type : 0x03 UUID-E : 0xcx1x1xex8xfxfx0x8xax7x0xdxdx4x2x Manufacturer : THOMSON Model Name : Thomson TG Model Number : 787 Serial Number : 1011TSABC Primary Device Type : 0x0123456789012345 Device Name : Thomson TG787 Config Methods : 0x0001 RF Bands : 0x00
Add "CP" to the beginning of the string and remove "TS" value (always the 2 characters in-between the first 4 numbers and the last 3 characters):Code:1011TSABC
Convert last 3 characters to hexadecimal (and convert lowercase to uppercase, case it has letters):Code:CP1011ABC
Process this last string trough sha-1:Code:CP1011414243
Grab the first 10 digits, Uppercase them, and here is the default wireless key:Code:8d6bea96fc2eb7b52020c45492e379cab1940d89
Note: If you're going to test this, please try to isolate your AP on a specific channel, airodump that channel and run wpscan after. I'm telling you this because "WPScan actively sends 802.11 probe requests to access points that advertise WPS support", and that could be considered illegal (I'm not sure, but just to be safe...).Code:8D6BEA96FC
P.S.: This vulnerability can be fixed by turning off WPS, wich is enabled by default. It can be done trough telnet (never found the option on the web interface), this site will help with the commands needed. Obviously, even after turning off WPS, the router will not be secure if it has the default password set (due to the other vulnerabilities I mentioned earlier).

The Good Mother
It take guts to do a steamy sex scene before hundreds of people, but it might require more courage to carry off the sort of awkward groping that Gretchen Mol and Darren Goldstein engage in for The Good Mother. Reeling home after a first date, Mol's Larissa, the financially shaky single mother of an autistic toddler, and Goldstein's Jonathan, an affable truck driver, hungrily suck face. Soon he is grinding up behind her in a door frame, courting splinters; next come amateur wrestling moves on the couch, and Larissa's idea of a lap dance—jagged hip jutting and poorly syncopated snapping. Titillating this is not.
Alas, not much goes right for Larissa, the brittle center of Francine Volpe's increasingly sour character study. She spent a lifetime making callow decisions that led to shrunken horizons—skipping college, keeping her baby, taking out an unaffordable mortgage—and now she's in her midthirties and living in denial, clinging to self-help clichés as the bills mount. When Larissa asks the painfully shy son (Eric Nelsen) of her former high-school counselor (Mark Blum) to babysit, it sets in motion a chain of events that threatens to derail several lives.
Mol exudes ample warmth, intelligence and empathy—qualities that make it hard to accept her as the stubborn, self-deluded creature that Volpe's title vaguely sneers at. Larissa's journey is a halting flight from responsibilities, during which she tries to pin blame on anyone but herself. The strength of Volpe's script (mostly well served by Scott Elliott's moody, noirish staging) is in how the author keeps us guessing about everyone's motives. But Mol is too cool and contained for the internal meltdown that needs to emerge after a hundred minutes of tension and evasion. If only this elegant actor could mess it up more often.—David Cote

The Legacy of C.S. Lewis and Narnia: Part 2 of 2
Announcer:The 21st century's ushered in events and issues that caused us to ask "Where is God in today's world?" In response, Dallas Theology Seminary presents DTS Dialogue - Issues of God and Culture: The Chronicles of Narnia. The first major motion picture of C.S. Lewis epic series has swept the nation and has drawn attention to the significance of biblical themes in contemporary cinema.
Join us as we examine some theological and cultural implications of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, part 2.
Mark Yarbrough:Kind of one of the things that I think, it's interesting that comments that I have read thus far, people have been amazed that it is, depending on how you interpret this particular statement, it is the best of Hollywood. I mean it's the best that is available today. You mentioned the special effects of "Lord of the Rings" and it was thrown at this movie.
Dr. Glenn Kreider:It is the best of Hollywood limited by the PG rating. Although that scene is very violent it is not bloody. There is some suspense involved, but the story is so clear and so foreshadowed that there is no doubt that the main characters survive and everyone does that from the very beginning. The suspense is more of the suddenness of an animal jumping off camera onto the scene but there's no blood. People are gored and drop to the ground and there is no puddle of blood there.
Mark: So in other words you think there were specific attempts to keep it...
Glenn: Oh I think without a question had the battle scene been displayed with blood and guts, it wouldn't have had a PG rating.
Mark:And that is great for parents that might be listening to this to consider as you are thinking about their kids. That's a question in and of itself. We all have children. I have children. What are your thoughts in that regard?
Glenn:Yeah, I would not take young children to this film. I think preschool age children... I just would be concerned about the level of...
Dr. Hall Harris III:I think that depends a lot on the children. I think that is a decision parents need to make for themselves. The 2nd time I saw the film, I've seen it twice now. I saw in the company of about six other adults and about 15 children ranging from teenage to three years old. In the final battle scene where the dwarf is getting ready to stab is it Edmond or Peter, I've forgotten at the moment. And Lucy grabs her bow and arrow and skewers the dwarf with an arrow. And the three year old immediately jumped up and says, "That's what you get." She obviously, she was very clear on who was good and who was evil and that evil gets paid back here with what they deserve. I think it's something that parents, if they really have young children they might want to see the movie for themselves and decide, before they take their kids. But anyone school age or older should be fine with it. And I agree with Glenn there was virtually no blood anywhere in any of the battle scenes that I can recall.
Darrell:Wasn't one of the points of the story the creation of the story originally in the midst of the blitz to on the one hand be a deflection from what was going on, but on the other hand to raise the issues that life and death and war raise? And to put it in a context in which you could have other kinds of discussions outside of the story with children.
Hall:Well, this is an interesting thing. Because I am going to refer to an essay, well, it was a talk that was later published as an essay that J.R.R. Tolkien did in the early 1930s, it's called "On Fairy Stories." One of the things that Tolkien argued in this essay which I think had a big influence on Lewis because this is almost certainly before Lewis starts to write the first of the Narnia books which is The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. Tolkien argues, among other things, for the role of human beings as subcreators under God who can imaginatively create this fictional universe and populate it and exercise a creative function that is actually a part of the image of God in humanity the Imago Dei and that one most fully is acting in gods image when one does this creative exercise which is a very interesting theology, a Christian theology of the arts and creativity and things like that. But what Tolkien argued that when you created this alternative world...
Glenn: The diagetic world.
Hall: Yes.
Darrell: The world of steroids.
Hall:In which you enter through what is sometimes called the willing suspension of disbelief. That is, we go into this world and we just take it at face value that it is real and it operates according to its own rules. We walk into it and it seems to us that it is a real world. But Tolkien argued that you can portray good as truly good and evil is truly evil in very polarized terms. Very different form the grays that we encounter in this real world where people operate from mixed motives and there is all kinds of pressure from all sides that are influencing. In this alternative world you can portray really good is good and evil is evil and you are forced to choose up sides. In choosing up sides in this imaginative world you learn something about the process of making the choice between good and evil. So that when you come back to your own world, the real world, the world that we live in, you are somehow better equipped to exercise discernment between good and evil and to make those choices when here they appear in shades in gray.
Darrell:What is interesting about that is that if you look at the way film and television and media have operated across the decades, if you go back to what some people view as the golden age of media, you know where good and evil were in clear contrast. Even your clothes reflected you wore white or black. You had this strong contrast. To a certain degree in a lot of movies today, we have lost that. In fact, sometimes the tendency is to try and help us sometimes to portray the bad guy as having good traits. Bonnie and Clyde being an example of that.
Glenn: Speaking of films with blood and guts.
Darrell: That's exactly right.
Hall: That's a diagenic world.
Darrell:But the point here is, that even the way media has responded to helping us with those kinds of questions has changed in the decades that at least I have been a part. I was thinking about, now this will date me, I was thinking about the series maverick... Back when I was growing up, we would get in a tense spot, and in the back of my mind I never felt any tension because I knew there was next week, and he had to be on next week.
Just a variety of things in the way literature and a creative world helps us to think through how we respond. As we make that more gray, we actually in many cases are reflecting... In fact the claim is to be more realistic and to be less idealistic about the way we portray good and evil.
Mark:Glenn, did you see it that way?
Glenn:I really took it differently. I found the white witch character a very effective portrayal of evil. It is that encounter with Edmund where we see the enticement of temptation. This character, when she shows up, is very cold and distant and actually a bit intimidating. She is really tall. But through offering Edmund this Turkish delight which he loves, she is able to entice him to be on her side and to be work at betraying his family members. I found that a really intriguing characterization of her, because from then on that's what she is. In a fairy tale world and a fancy world, she is a very evil character. But that Edmund would be so easily enticed by her, I think provides nice glimpse into the biblical world. A really nice entree into the original temptation narrative.
You figure how could anyone with half a brain fall for the temptation of the evil one, but we do it all the time. That may be one of the great benefits of that scene, is that we are to see Edmund is us and is easily enticed as we are.
Hall:Well I think there is something else to notice as well, and that is that Edmund has already had problems both in the book and in the movie. He is already "going bad" if you will, because he actually gets into Narnia when Lucy goes second time and realizes that her story, that the others had not believed initially was really true, and then when they returned back to this world after the second trip and Lucy is explaining how she was there again and Edmund was with her and all, he turns around and denies that any of this was real, and says that he was only pretending to go along with Lucy and her imagination. So he really betrayed her and let her down.
In a sense Edmund had set himself up for this encounter with the white witch and when she comes along and offers her candy and her warm drinks and promises to make him a prince and maybe someday even King in Narnia, since she has no children of her own, he is sort ready to fall, if you will. He is been setup already by the path that he has been on.
I think the other interesting thing about the portrayal of the White Witch with regard to her evil is... I think there is the point to be made that by the time Edmund starts to see, that maybe she is not so nice after all, he is in too far.
Mark: It is already late.
Hall:It is too late. And that I think is an excellent portrayal of the enticement of evil. By the time you really see what evil is for itself, or who Satan is, it's too late.
Darrell:I will say that I thought that the portrayal of the relationship between the siblings was very well done. By the time you got to that scene of the White Witch, you knew there was something going on. You were well setup for that scene. From that standpoint, I thought, you knew who a kind of bad apple was in the group.
Hall: Right.
Darrell:It made for an interesting situation. I am some who saw the movie not having read the book. So from that standpoint... My children have read it dozens of times. My daughter... the first thing she got on the phone, I said, "How is the movie?"
She said, "Well there are two things in the movie that weren't in the book."
That is the first thing she noticed, which is typical for someone who is an aficionado. But for me it was just refreshing to walk through the story, and I felt well setup to understand the children's relations to one another by the time Narnia came on the scene.
Glenn:Which is another place where there is no subtlety. As characters are so stereotypical; it is the older brother's responsibility to care for his family. The older sister who is really not active at all. You have the younger brother. You always have that in those kind of stories. You have this little younger sister who is perfect. I mean it is very stereotypical.
I think there is a profound question in there that these kind of stories raise, is that although good and evil are clearly portrayed and really are polarized, there is the profound question underlying that is that the only reason why Narnia is in the state that it is, is because Aslan is absent. So the question that is never addressed is why he is gone for a hundred years of winters with no Christmas. That by the way, I thought, Santa Claus could have been portrayed a little more clearly. [laughter]
Hall: Because he was Father Christmas, not Santa Claus. [laughter] This is England...
Glenn: No, the film is in America. [laughter]
Hall: But they still have British accents.
Glenn:Why is the world in the situation that it is. It is because Aslan is absent. When Aslan comes back it will be right. We have this tension which never really answers the question, why the absence of the lion for so long.
Mark:It begs for the question of Aslan's death and resurrection. What's in with that? I mean the climax of the book, climax of the movie. We need somebody to define atonement, because we have to relate that storyline, how it is portrayed to a definition of that. Can you talk about how does it work its way out at the end of the book. Glenn, we will start with you.
Glenn:The fundamental question of all people in all times, is that why is the world as it now is. Certainly if God is good, if the Creator is good, He would not have created the world as it now exists. Something must have happened to result in the world being as it now is. If the world is as it now is, and it's not the way the Creator created it, there is an expectation, there's almost a necessity that something happened in order that the world becomes the way the Creator intends it to be.
The means by which that redemption occurs, the means by which the atonement occurs is that that thing which has destroyed the created order, that thing which has introduced evil and what is not good into the world needs to be addressed and atoned. Lewis argues that there are a number of ways Christians have described and understood the atonement, a number of ways they have understood the work of Christ on behalf of lost humanity, and that there is no one right way to do so. I think that he's right about that. But at the same time he says, and he's right about this too, that what is essential to a Christian understanding of the atonement is substitutionary debt; the sacrifice of the God-man on behalf of lost humanity and of lost creation. And so that in "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe", it is the sacrifice of Aslan the innocent on behalf of the traitor Edmund which is the reason for his death. Because there is a law of Deep Magic, if an innocent one sacrifices himself for a guilty party, that one must be resurrected. That explains the resurrection.
Mark: Hall, you want to add to that?
Hall:Well, I think Glenn said it very well. I think in many respects, when you look at Aslan and what he does, it's clear that at that point at least, even though I agree with Glenn's earlier comments, I don't think this is allegory in the traditional sense. Lewis claimed it wasn't allegory. He claimed simply, I was asking the question, "If Jesus were to become incarnate in a world where animals talked what animal would he be and how would he appear?"
But I think by this time in the story, the Christian understanding of substitutionary atonement [overtalk] has stepped in and taken over if you will. So, that as Lewis is writing this, he's very clearly understanding, if you don't call it allegory, then what you would say is that Aslan is doing in that world what Jesus did in our world. So, there are clear parallels.
Glenn:But that story, that part of the story is in every story. That is so deeply embedded; that meta-narrative is so deeply embedded that every story has some means by which the conflict is resolved, and it often includes some form of substitution. But what makes this distinctly Christian is that it's a distinctly Christian telling of the story, and using a distinctly Christian and biblical symbolism of the lion. One cannot watch, as a Christian, that death of Aslan and not recognize that the lion of the tribe of Judah. In dying, his hair is pulled out, he is shaved, he is mocked, he is beaten. All of the parallels are obvious.
Darrell: It's an animal Passion.
Hall:Beyond that, Susan and Lucy are watching all that from in hiding. They're asking each other the question, when is he going to pounce on them? When is he going to attack his enemies and fight back? The whole point is, 'like a lamb led to the slaughter'. He allows himself to be killed. He doesn't fight back, he emptied himself.
Darrell: Yeah, it's a lion that becomes a lamb, not a lamb that becomes a lion.
Hall: Exactly right.
Glenn:That scene, I think, was very nicely done in that this lion is not tied up. There are ropes around him but they're just there. It's clear from watching the film that this lion is sacrificing himself.
Mark: Yes, right.
Darrell:Well, I think that raises a question about expectations in the movie that's helpful to think about as we wrap up. Sometimes when you go to see a movie like this and you know that there is this Christian connection, your tendency is to want to compare it point by point with what happens in the biblical story. My impression is that you shouldn't walk in and do it that way. Really, what's going on here is you're getting the high points, but don't expect all the details. Is that a fair way to think about the movie?
Glenn:I think it is. You can go in and enjoy the story. That was one of the values for me, watching it twice. The second time I watched it, I not only knew the biblical story - I knew the biblical story the first time -, but I now knew how the film was going to portray the story of the film. So I could watch it seeing things I hadn't seen before. Go in and enjoy the story; it's a great story.
Hall:Yeah, I think essentially, in one of the later Narnia books, I can't remember at the moment exactly which one it is, the children, when they were back in Narnia later are told by Aslan, "You were sent into this world to learn to know me so that when you go back to your own world you may know me better there under another name." I think that's really the point of this. The person who reads the book or who sees the film starts asking questions and then picks up their Bible and learns to know Aslan by another name.
Darrell:I think the movie did this brilliantly in that at the end, after the credits...and some people didn't stay, in fact, in the showing that my wife and I went to, we were the only two people who stayed all the way through the credits.
Glenn: Me too.
Hall: Same here.
Darrell: I thought, man you missed something. I don't if we should wreck it for the people who haven't seen it yet...
Darrell: ... or simply say, stay through the credits.
Glenn:You should always stay through the credits. Those are people who devoted a great deal of time and effort to doing the work. They deserve to be recognized.
Darrell:Let's just say it this way. There's a nice little surprise at the end of the credits that's worth staying for. It's like the Milk Duds of the movie.
Mark:Well, to wrap this up, this is one movie in a series. It's going to be interesting to see if other movies follow behind it from the same series. Obviously there has been great discussion about that. It's doing well at the box office which is probably going to dictate whether an investment is made on future books into other movies.
Guys, thanks a lot for your time. Greatly appreciate it, appreciate your comments as always, and we'll do this again soon.

Take a look at Miley Cyrus' Bangerz tour wardrobe
(Yahoo!) - Miley Cyrus may be known for showing off some skin and flaunting her body, but now she's teamed up with famed Italian designer Roberto Cavalli to take her tour costumes up a notch.
Cavalli has unveiled a set of designs for her Bangerz World Tour, which kicks off in February in Vancouver. And judging from the sketches, the 21-year-old is going to be channeling her inner animal on stage with a black zebra jumpsuit, leopard print shorts set, and crystal-embellished denim.
Cyrus told reporters in a telephone press conference last week that "our whole tour is literally based on animals." With one glimpse at this sexy pieces, we can see what she means.
But animals clearly aren't the only things inspiring Miley and her stage couture. One of the most risqué outfits is a nude jumpsuit embroidered with Swarovski gems very reminiscent of the one her idol and pal Britney Spears wore years ago.
This isn't the first time the Italian designer has joined forces with an A-lister for a music tour. Last year, he created ensembles with Beyoncé, dressing her to the va-va-vooms for her Mrs. Carter World Tour.
It's also not Cavalli's first time dressing Miley — the "Wrecking Ball" singer looked stunning in one of his creations at the 2012 Vanity Fair Oscar party.
Roberto Cavalli is also not the only designer Cyrus will be donning for her Bangerz Tour. Marc Jacobs, The Blonds, and Jeremy Scott have all reportedly created pieces for the star to wear during specific sections of the show.
Aside from her tour, Miley tweeted on Monday a revealing snapshot for her MTV Unplugged poster. "@mtv presents miley cyrus: mtv unplugged y'all - check it out January 29th!" she posted.
Check out this video to see the incredible sketches for Miley Cyrus' tour and her poster complete with fake teeth and a blond bob:

Located just a few miles over the ridges from the Pacific Ocean, Carmel Road produces wines from vineyards set against the Santa Lucia range and in the Gabilan foothills. Winemaker Kris Kato grew up in Portland, Oregon, where he developed "the beer bug." But the fermentation science program at Oregon State University led him down the path of winemaking. He's worked at Central Coast wineries large and small, and notes both experiences prepared him for his role at Carmel Road, where he focuses on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
"Pinot expresses itself more than any other variety, in terms of being nuanced-driven," Kris says. He's excited to be working with Monterey fruit, including from the winery's Panorama Vineyard. "I love to make small lots of wine from different parcels. It's incredible to be able to choose the most distinct wines from the vineyard, and showcase them in different bottlings." View all Carmel Road Wines
About Central CoastView a map of Central Coast wineries
The largest of California's wine growing regions, the Central Coast produces the majority of California's wine. The district sprawls out, covering most of the vineyard land between San Francisco and Santa Barbara. Smaller sub-AVAs of the Central Coast include Monterey Bay, Paso Robles, Santa Ynez Valley, Santa Maria Valley, Santa Cruz Mountains and many others.
Notable FactsGrape varieties range from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel. Some Central Coast wine is generic, bulk wine that contributes to the high production numbers of the area. But many winemakers and wineries, particular in some of the smaller AVAs, are small production artisans, creating unique and high-quality wine. The great thing about the Central Coast is its diversity - you're able to find a number of grape varieties and styles at a number of different price points.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

On Television
Our Little AmericankaBy Irina Aleksander
Sometime in the last few years, my sixty-five-year-old father, a Soviet mathematician who spent the first fifty years of his life in Moscow, began speaking to me in English.
That I can't recall when exactly this happened makes the shift seem, at least in retrospect, both gradual and sudden. One day he was correcting my Russian, his laughter once ascending into a taunting squeal as I attempted to casually use the swear word svoloch (along the lines of "scum") and mistakenly said slovoch, which, if it were an actual insult, would mean "worder." Another day, not much later, during what must have been an argument, I couldn't find the Russian words to describe whatever I was feeling, and I remember my father, calm and patient, saying, "Say eet een English, my luv." Then last week, a voice mail: "Hi. It is me. Call me back please." When I return his call, the voice that I know to be father's asks, without the sharp edges that used to define his accent, "Have you ever been to the Hamptons? Nice place."
When we moved to the States, I was ten; my father, forty-eight. What this meant was that I lost my accent by the time I started high school while my parents still pulled up to the gas station attendant and said, "Fool up regular." I spent whole afternoons then explaining to my mother that "ze" and "zat" were nothing like "the" and "that." That no one in America hung Persian rugs on their walls as decoration. That boiled potatoes were not dinner. When my haughtiness was amusing, they called me "our little Americanka;" other times they looked at me with unrecognizing dismay—there was a stranger in their home, or, worse, a traitor. Read More

Investment demand will continue to buoy gold prices in 2011
The price of gold has been mostly driven by investment demand in recent months. This is mainly reflected by the increasing quantities of gold held by exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which physically hold the yellow metal. A gradual increase in ETF gold holdings is also expected in 2011. As long as real yields remain low, gold investments should continue to remain attractive. The investment demand is also expected to grow stronger due to the unconventional measures adopted by the global central banks which could in turn inflame the inflation expectations of some investors in the medium to longer term. In addition, the current debate about a potential currency war is also fanning concerns about the value of paper currencies.

Results 1 to 7 of 7
Thread: Happy Father's Day to my Pop
Happy Father's Day to my Pop
This is a story I wrote for Dad sometime back. I thought you all might enjoy it.
This story didnt start out the Monday after Thanksgiving. To really appreciate it and understand its importance to one local family, you must go back 22 years when Bill Males first took his son Michael deer hunting.
A twelve-year old boy stands motionless in the middle of a cut cornfield in Sullivan County, Pennsylvania on the opening day of antler-less deer season as his father, relatives, and family friends push through a woodlot.
His dreams of harvesting his first deer come true in a matter of minutes. A doe weighing in around 110 lbs with 5 bullet holes in it.
The moment will forever be engraved in my mind as I was that twelve-year old boy, and just like every deer story I have in my memory bank, my Dad was a part of it.
For the first several years of the story, the opening of gun season lead my Dad, brother and I up state to our cabin in Cameron County, PA. Every year, a spike or two would come home in the trunk of Dads car, and we were pleased. Pleased until the love of the sport that Dad instilled in me turned me to use the bow and arrow and get to hunt for 4 6 weeks before anyone else right out our back door.
I took up bow-hunting on my own with the help of some teaching from Truman Smith, and set out on the next chapter of this story.
I remember coming in after an evening hunt and telling Dad how many buck I had seen while stalking through the woods with my bow, only to see a grin and some skeptical looks of disbelief at times. A few years, and a few 8 points later I was able to talk him into joining me by buying him his first bow, as a token of appreciation for all the Saturdays he had not worked over-time just to take me hunting.
I told him Come do this with me Dad, bow-hunt. You will not believe how exciting it is and I want to share that with you.
My always-faithful hunting partner followed my lead, and joined me in the makings of even more chapters to this story, but never had he been able to get anything larger than a six point with a 10 inch spread.
Dont misunderstand me or be misinformed in thinking that a small buck is any easier than a large buck harvest with a bow because at an ethical range, any deer is difficult to get. Doe, buck, whatever. A bow harvest is always an accomplishment.
A few more years go by and we end up at this years archery season. Bow-hunting has become so much more enjoyable as a direct result of the antler restrictions implemented by the Pennsylvania Game Commission, as we had seen many nice buck, much larger than any we had seen in past years and in greater numbers.
Nearing the end of the season, into the rutting period for the buck, Dad had selected a tree-stand position on one cold morning, in hopes to see what had made all of the scrapes and rubs in the area, and possibly get a shot. As the sun rose, a small buck had entered his shooting range just below him. A legal buck for harvest, but not big enough for Dad to shoot, as we had seen so many mature buck around. The deer just didnt act right said Dad, when telling me the story, and he let the small buck pass under him. It was only moments later that he then had what he described to me as The biggest buck in York County under him. He drew back his bow, with excitement coursing through him, only to have his peep sight on the bow-string not come around so he could see his site pin. Any bow-hunter will tell you this is not a fun thing. You cannot see the deer through the string to get an accurate shot. Dad drew back two more times only to still not be able to get his bow-site on the deer. (The colorful words that came over my two way radio as he was leaving the tree-stand area were a direct reflection of the anguish and disappointment he must have felt at that point.)
Once again, the big one got away from Dad, but it never broke his spirit, as an encounter like that one is what keeps you coming back to the woods.
Bow season ends, Dad and I are left buck-less as we had let so many small ones pass, and now the anticipation of gun season hits us. Although we enjoy bow-hunting so much more for its primal/spiritual connections, we still love getting together with all the guys for a good days gun hunt. The fellowship you find while hunting with your friends is probably the best part of the hunt.
Opening day of gun season put us all in our favorite spots, and Dad in the spot where he had seen that big buck in archery, in hopes to see him at least one more time.
Around 10:30 a.m., and excited voice comes over my radio. Its Dad, asking Where ya at buddy? . I said Im back in the truck, headed your way. . I got one! he exclaimed. Hold on, I will be right there! I replied. (Now I am excited.) The next few minutes was a hurried blur of getting to him in his spot, and frantic conversations over the radio to my friend Dennis and brother Brian that Dad had gotten a buck. I was making my way up through the woods and just as I got about 30 yards from Dad, he had just arrived at the buck.
Oh my, would you look at the size of this buck! Dad yelled to me. When I finally got to him, and could see the deer, all I could see was those thick massive beams, and the look on my Dads face. Priceless. We did the deer dance of joy and then brought the majestic animal back to the house for photos and humble reflection over the mornings events. If anyone was ever more deserving of such a buck, it is my Dad.
Deer hunting is not just about harvesting an animal or who gets the biggest buck. It is much more than that. Its about family, its about tradition, its about ethics, its about respect. It is about preserving those fondest memories of childhood, of a celebrated season, when everything in your heart and mind was right. I ask you to pass on these traditions to your children's children, as it belongs to them anyway, and NEVER take for granted the PRIVILEGES that Mother Nature has to offer.
Thank you, Dad.

Guys this is very AWSOME. My Dad was always to busy working providing a good life to share anything like what you have with your Dad's. So that is what has driven me to share the outdoors with my Daughter and wife. I think anyone who experiences the outdoors as a way of life is a more rounded person. Thanks so much for sharing your stories.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY boys...
Glad to see this post motivated you all and hopefully inspired. One day, in a fairytale world, we could all get together around the same campfire and spin yarns and tell tales of our lives to one another and just have some good old time fellowship with one another.
Happy Father's Day guys.

The Stars Take to the Polls & Twitter for Election 2012
Fully immersing themselves in Tuesday's political festivities, the stars took to the polling booths and Twitter to sound off on the Presidential election.
Many of the celebs opted for a general encouraging tweet to get to the polls with some even offering incentives to do your civic duty, as Darren Criss offered a signed Rock the Vote T-shirt while Katy Perry offered to retweet her favorite fan election day outfits.
All three Kardashian sisters encouraged their millions of Twitter fans to follow their lead and vote, while Miley Cyrus, Mandy Moore, Heidi Klum and Halle Berry were among the famous faces spotted casting their ballots.
Meanwhile, Latino stars made a big push for President Obama this year, with Ricky Martin tweeting a photo of himself at a Florida campaign rally for Barack, George Lopez promising to deliver Colorado for Obama, and Eva Longoria gushing over fellow Obama supporter Will Ferrell's hilarious new voting video.
Encouraging fellow women to support President Obama were Rashida Jones, who called for ladies to vote in "our election" and Mariah Carey, who joined the First Lady Michelle Obama in North Carolina.
Aside from the race to the White House, a controversial California Proposition regarding genetically engineered or genetically modified food labeling earned the attention of Charlie Sheen and Nina Dobrev, who will vote "yes" on the measure.

Joe McKenna Named Fashion Director at Large of T Magazine
Meet Joe McKenna, T Magazine's New Fashion Director at Large
Deborah Needleman announced on Tuesday that she's hired Joe McKenna — a stylist who's worked for Vogue, V magazine, and Yves Saint Laurent — as T magazine's fashion director at large. McKenna might not be a household name, but he's spent decades creating iconic images with photographers like Bruce Weber, Steven Klein, and Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. In 2007, T credited McKenna with helping "define the visual identity of clients like Calvin Klein, Versace, Banana Republic, and Jil Sander."
In his new role, Needleman says, McKenna will create several spreads a year for T and will be "heavily involved" in overseeing the magazine's fashion stories. And with a track record that spans decades of editorial and advertising assignments, McKenna seems perfectly primed for the challenge. Take a look at some of his past work here in the gallery.

Groton bridge deemed safe
Groton — An official from the state Department of Transportation said Wednesday that a piece of "haunch" or leftover concrete fell from a bridge, causing the closure of the on-ramp to Interstate 95 North from Long Hill Road South for several hours Tuesday night.
Kevin Nursick, DOT spokesman, said that the bridge is safe. He said the haunch is not structural in any way and has no impact on the condition or integrity of the bridge. The haunches served a purpose only when the bridge was built, and after that, are essentially no longer needed, he added.
Nursick said crews removed the remaining loose material, and will for the next day or two work on removing the remaining haunch material.

gWhiz! Eco-friendly Diapers (our Sept. 2011 green-biz interview)
When Jason and Kim Graham-Nye traveled from Portland to San Francisco for the Green Festival in November of 2010 to collect their People's Choice Award for Green Business of the Year, it wasn't their first visit to the Green Festival.
While attending previous Festivals in Chicago, San Francisco, and Washington, DC, Jason says, "We were able to meet new customers face-to-face and show them our product. It was absolutely critical to the success of the company. In addition to this, there was one particular Green Business Conference in Chicago in 2007 where I met 8 people in the space of 20 minutes — during the ice-breaker activity — and we have all stayed friends ever since. It's not all business!"
We asked Jason to tell us more about the world of diapers, and in the process we learned about his and Kim's romantic past in Australia…
