Questions about Pregnancy
Hi Everyone,
I wanted to ask about what's the best exercise for an 8-9 months pregnant women like me. I feel terrible with my back pain and heavy tummy, whenever I lay down I roll over either on the right side or on the left I couldn't move immediately because it really hurts, and when I wanted to get up I almost wanted to cry because of the extreme pain. This is my problem since my baby is 6 months and it became worse now that he is getting bigger. I have tried to ask my OB regarding this but I think what she's telling me isn't helpful. Please respond to my posts.

Hello Joyce,
I would highly recommend that you see a Chiropractor who will help to adjust your pelvis and help your structural system to become aligned. A well aligned skeletal system could reduce/eliminate pain during pregnancy.
Another reason why it's so important to be sure everything is in alignment is because this will benefit labour and delivery. With my last 2 pregnancies, my midwife recommended that I see a Chiropractor during my last couple of months of pregnancy.
This made a huge difference in how I was feeling AND it made labour and delivery go much faster. The better positioned baby's head is as it descends down the birth canal the faster your labour will go.
Here's a video that shows a pregnant woman who is 37 weeks along being adjusted. Note that she is on her stomach for a very short time, but I never laid on my stomach during later pregnancy - just laid on my back and my side during my adjustments so each Chiropractor will adjust differently.
Here's a video that shows you how baby moves down the birth canal during labour so you can better visualize what your baby will be doing during each contraction. This particular video states that your doctor will give you an epesiotomy, but this is not necessarily true. I had an epesiotomy with my first baby because it was needed but I didn't have one with any of my other 4 babies.
I can't stress enough the importance of seeing a Chiropractor or an Osteopath that is trained in Cranio Sacral work - someone who can adjust your skeletal system so that baby has the best possible chance of being in a good position for birth. This will not only give you back pain relief now, but it could save you lots of money and possibly a C-Section that wouldn't have been necessary had baby been in better position before birth.
Something else that may help to give relief of back pain is wearing a pregnancy support belt that helps to support your belly and take pressure off your back.
Another thing you may find helpful is this thread where we discuss how to sleep comfortably while pregnant. There's even a video showing you just how to do it.
Please post back and let me know if you found any of this helpful. I'm also curious as to what your doctor said. Pain can be structural but it can also be muscular and can sometimes be helped by taking certain vitamins or minerals, if you have a deficiency. Be sure you're eliminating sugar from your diet and getting plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables and that you're also taking your prenatal vitamin every day.
Warm Regards,

Hi jopoys,
Any luck in finding a Chiropractor? Also, I answered one of your other questions about the benefits of home birth verses hospital birth, and I'm wondering what you thought.
Warm Regards,

In a draft system that lasts 40 rounds, it's pretty common for late-round picks to never make it within spitting distance of the major leagues. The mountain needing to be climbed for a player who wasn't drafted is even greater.
That describes Christian, who was never drafted in the three years in which he was eligible to be taken. Naturally, that has been something that motivated him early his career.
"It's weird, because, being the ballplayer that I am, I always felt that I was better than some of the guys who were drafted," Christian told me recently. He takes long pauses between words, as if he's trying to make sense of what he was going through back then.
"In that regard, not being drafted kind of put a fire in my stomach a little bit," said Christian. "It made me play with a chip on my shoulder, like I had to prove something."
In taking with Christian, you can tell that he is intelligent and self-aware.
While some players insist they don't pay attention to their statistics, he can confidently state his numbers as if he had been memorizing them for a mid-term exam.
With that same confidence, he says he always trusted his ability. That's why he didn't give up on baseball after college, opting for the independent Frontier League rather than a real-world job. Eventually, he caught the attention of the New York Yankees, who signed him to a minor league deal on July 1, 2004.
At that point, he said that playing with a chip on his shoulder really wasn't an option, that he needed to trust his ability to help raise him through the minor league ranks.
"Once I got into affiliated baseball, I knew it was time to prove myself. I could play with a chip on my shoulder all I want, but that isn't going to make me play well," he said. "I definitely felt that I had the tools to be there, it was just a matter of being as consistent as possible to showcase them."
Christian did showcase those tools -- hitting .303 with 55 stolen bases in the 2005 season, his first full season in the Yankees' system. His successes earned him a short stint at triple-A, where he appeared in one game without recording an at-bat.
He excelled in 2006 with double-A Trenton, however, hitting .276 and stealing a ridiculous 68 bases. Playing at the minor league level he says was "the stepping stone" to the big leagues, Christian felt like he was beginning to prove himself.
"I didn't want to blend in. I wanted to stand out in one way, shape or form and play well, especially with that [Yankees] organization," Christian said. "I felt like I had a chance, that the games I was playing meant something, that the numbers I was putting up meant something."
He split the 2007 season between Trenton and triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He put up significantly better numbers at the latter of the two destinations, hitting 90 points higher (.235 versus .325), while recording one less extra-base hit and one fewer stolen base in 25 fewer games played.
He started 2008 in Scranton, and on June 24, he was called up, making his major league debut against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He went 2-for-4 with two RBI.
Christian called the opportunity he was given a "blessing."
"You feel vindicated in a way, because the hard work that you put in is actually paying off and an organization is taking a chance on you because they like what you've done in the minor leagues," Christian said.
He hit .250 in 40 MLB at-bats, before being sent back down to triple-A. His performances were evidently not good enough for the Yankees, as he was non-tendered by the team following the season.
Christian signed a minor league contract with Baltimore and spent the 2009 season at triple-A Norfolk.
But 88 games and a .270 batting average later, he once again found himself outside of pro baseball.
He spent the early part of the 2010 season in the Atlantic League before an occurrence of déjà vu.
On May 7, the Yankees once again plucked him from independent ball and assigned him to Trenton. He hit nine home runs and stole 20 bases before a promotion to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He struggled down the stretch, hitting .242 with no home runs and two steals in 16 games.
At this point, he was about to turn 31 and had already seen two separate stints in the independent leagues. Since quitting is against his nature, he continued to gut it out, and received an opportunity from the Giants, signing on Feb. 6, 2011.
"My whole career has been like that, so it was nothing new," he said with a slight grin on his face. "The age thing, it's all about how you feel. You could be 35 years old, but if you feel great you're going to perform. For me, being in my early 30s, and competing day-in and day-out, I feel like the talent is still there. It's just a matter of an organization taking a chance and giving me an opportunity to perform.
"It's all about luck, it's all about having that opportunity to play, and most importantly, it's about having a guy in an organization who likes you and is willing to stick his neck out there for you," Christian said. "You can't control that opportunity, all you can control is your attitude on the field and how hard you play."
Some people define luck as when hard work meets opportunity. Be that as it may, Christian found some "luck" in 2011. After a rough start to the season with double-A Richmond, where he hit .256 in 73 games, he was called up to Fresno and finally was able to show baseball what he can do.
Christian looked like what you would want from a prototypical leadoff hitter. After only having one double-digit home run season in six previous minor league seasons, he hit 10 home runs in 64 games for the Grizzlies. He stole 36 bases in 39 attempts, and walked 35 times to only 31 strikeouts. He hit .338, and posted an on-base percent of .428 and an OPS of 1.002.
When discussing the start to his 2011 season, there is a tinge of bitterness in his voice that he was assigned to Richmond and not Fresno. But he dismisses it as "a decision I had to live with."
He says about his stint in Richmond that he didn't perform as he wanted, but when coming to Fresno, he felt closer to the big leagues (in an organizational sense, not geographic), and that motivated him to perform.
"You focus a little bit more and put a little more into it," he said. "When I hit, I want to hit for the whole year, so if I hit .240 at one level, then I have to hit .340 at another level. So hitting well was something that I thought a lot about doing right when I got here."
For the second time in his career, he was rewarded with a call-up to the big leagues. He appeared in 18 games for the Giants in 2011, batting .255 with three steals in five attempts.
Unfortunately for Christian, the Giants logjam in the outfield -- compounded by the offseason acquisitions of Melky Cabrera and Angel Pagan -- forced him back to Fresno.
Then, something happened to him.
Not necessarily a change in mindset -- he is still every bit as tenacious as he was in the past -- but all of the sudden, getting a call-up wasn't top a priority.
Maybe it was because of Fresno's hot start. After an abysmal 2011 season, the Grizzlies are one of the top teams in the PCL, a turnaround that his .364 average, seven home runs and 31 RBI have played no small part in.
Perhaps he recognized the situation in front of him. Cabrera and Pagan have been anchors in the San Francisco outfield, and the Giants have scrambled to get guys ample playing time between first base and right field.
Regardless of what the reason was, Christian has a 100 percent team-first attitude, saying that he is, "a member of the Fresno Grizzlies," and that, "thinking about a call-up, you lose focus about what's at hand and what's important. So thinking about getting called up to the big leagues, it's not really there."
Now at 32, he was one of the leaders on the Fresno squad.
"He's just professional at what he does," said first-year Fresno manager Bob Mariano. "He's been playing hurt, and he's a big part of our team. He's persevered, and probably doesn't get as many chances as someone who the club has a lot of money invested in him, so it says a lot about him that he's made it to the big leagues. Those are the guys you really want to pull for.
"They're the guys who like to compete. He has a lot of internal heart and gamesmanship."
The reason that he "was" a leader on the Fresno squad is because he is no longer on the team. With Aubrey Huff headed for the disabled list, Christian's contract has been purchased by the Giants and he will join the team in Seattle for the beginning of its nine-game road trip.
Which goes to show, hard work and perseverance does pay off -- even if the pay-off isn't the goal.

text: Just going to list some OGs that will be free agents I would like to see Dallas go after. Andy Levitre: Will be 27 next season. Best available OG. Great LG that everyone will want. Buffalo has said he is their #1 priority so I doubt he walks, but with a new coaching staff he might want out. Would love to have him. Louis Vasquez: Will be 26 next season. Not talked much about but had a very good year with the Chargers this year. He is your classic RG, big, good feet and powerful. Matt Slauson: Will be 27 next season. Played college ball and in the pros for Callahan. Goos Pass protector but not much of a run blocker. Is more of a LG than RG. Livings didn't have a great year but was an average to above average OG and I think Livings would be a better RG than LG. I think he stays one more year. Any of the three above would be nice additions and would upgrade this OL. Also I think this draft is loaded at OG. Warmack, Cooper, Warford, Bailey, Winters, Thomas, and Jones could come in and start day one at OG.

"Yeah," a Journal reporter told The Daily Beast, when the Hinton resignation was barely two hours old.
When his wife, Hinton Mayor Sheryl Ann Cornelius, arrived home that evening, he was slumped in his chair, still clutching the gun.
After having conducted a "full, rigorous, internal inquiry," Hinton said, "I believe he was the only person."
Colleagues who admire Hinton say he erred on the side of ethics.
But as Reuters noted, Hinton used some version of "I do not recall" or "I do not know" at least 55 times.
Hinton flew to the window; he saw the soft fawn shade of a lady's dress, he could not see the lady.
I like her, even though she does dabble in literature; and I like Hinton too.
The eight o'clock chimes spoke as Hinton clumped downstairs, and a few moments later Forbes's guests began to straggle in.
"When Hinton gets his first brief—not before," answered John Harman.
Hinton took the fork from her gently and wiped it with Gladys's dirty cloth.

Do you think that discrete momentary dhammas are rising and falling whether we are aware of this or not?
dhamma follower wrote:Who says there is a real entity?
It seems that you do. Real entities = paramattha dhammas subject to momentary origination (uppāda), subsistence (ṭhiti), and dissolution (bhaṅga), which are objectively established as real (bhāvasiddha). That is, they are not merely nominally designated based on selective recognition (saññā).

Pillars: A jumpstart for new Gamecocks
By Megan Sexton, email@example.com, 803-777-1421
For rising sophomore Kelsey Cornman, the Pillars for Carolina extended orientation program at the University of South Carolina last summer was a life-changing experience.
"Pillars changed the way I looked at USC," said Cornman, who is working as an extended mentor for Pillars 2013 this summer. "I learned that it truly was a university that cared about its students' success and involvement. Without Pillars, I wouldn't have had the confidence to become involved in the organizations that are a part of my life today. Most importantly, Pillars helped me form bonds and friendships that I continue to hold close."
Pillars for Carolina is an extended orientation program for incoming first-year students. The program connects current and future leaders in the spirit of USC's rich history and tradition while developing friendships in a fun environment. By providing participants with exposure to student life at USC before move-in day, Pillars helps ensure a successful transition into college and provides a strong foundation for an exceptional Gamecock experience.
At Pillars, 20 student leaders help incoming freshmen learn what it's like to be a student at Carolina. The weeklong program includes everything from figuring out the layout of campus to visiting Williams-Brice Stadium to learning the meaning of the Carolinian Creed. The week's activities are planned by Carolina student leaders who understand the first-year experience and what it means to be a Gamecock.
"Pillars is a great opportunity for incoming students to explore student life before arriving on campus in the fall," said Mitchell Hammonds, a senior visual communications major from Greenville and executive director of Pillars. "Students who attend the program will get a taste of what being a Gamecock is all about -- discovering personal leadership strengths, learning the chants, cheers and traditions, and building lifelong friendships."
Pillars will take place July 16-20 and is open to about 100 incoming first-year students. Interested students who have been admitted to USC can register online.

The Federal Deficit and Climate Change
It's an issue that will affect the prosperity of our children and our children's children. It's an issue that requires we make cuts today in order to avoid far greater burdens on future generations. It's an issue that is steeped in complexities and arcane detail that is difficult to communicate to the public, and often requires advanced training in order to understand fully. And it's an issue that requires bold public leadership today in order to avert consequences that will affect future well-being and quality of life.
Readers of this blog can be forgiven for immediately assuming that these statements are meant to describe the political challenges of climate change; but the political issue du jour in Washington these days is the federal budget deficit and mounting national debt, and these statements apply for that issue equally as well. We, here at Climate Compass, are not the first to note the similarities in the discourse – but for those of us working in the climate field, or who care deeply about the issue, the parallels are hard to ignore. There is an important difference, however, that seems to affect the public debate.
While both are complex issues that are at times inherently difficult to understand, the budget provides a much simpler scoring system of dollars and cents; in comparison to the climate debt that we are accruing in the form of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. We can see on a chart or graph the totals that budget projections show – and we know from our daily household experiences that increasing debts imply increasing interest payments and costs.
The climate deficit that continues to accumulate, on the other hand, shows no clear balance of payments or future due dates. But make no mistake; the charges we are putting against our climate credit card will eventually create even greater costs over time as changes accelerate. Greenhouse gases, once emitted, stay in the atmosphere for centuries. Any emissions made today, tomorrow, and over the next several years commit the planet to warming over the lifetime of those gases.
Even though it is not as easy to track the mounting costs of our climate deficit, we know the debt will have to be paid in the form of increasingly severe weather events, changes in agricultural productivity, mass migrations, and sea level rise – just to name a few. This means that the unchecked emissions we continue to create are racking up a greenhouse gas debt that will force increasingly expensive costs on current and future generations.
So as the debate continues inside the beltway on how to address the federal deficit – remember that in the case of both the budget deficit and climate change, it will be far less expensive to pay a little today and avoid paying far more later.

Drawing on his long experience in the production of fine wines in both Europe and California, Walter set up his own winery with his wife Gertrud in the cool, marine climate of the Carneros Appellation. Here he could focus on the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay varietals that had always been close to his heart.
Schug Carneros Estate Winery combines old world understanding and tradition with modern winemaking techniques. By using only the finest grapes available, and maintaining the best winemaking values, these wines have gained acceptance worldwide as true contemporary classics.

Ratings for Dr. Charles H. Hanson
I would just like to add that we LOVE Dr. Hanson, and have missed his expertise and unique way of caring for our kids since we had to move several years ago. I still, to this day, regularly quote facts from the little books he used to write for us when we would come in there for a well-check. My brother now has kids, and I am always quoting something Dr. Hanson told us. He seriously is amazing, and there are NO doctors like him anymore. We had to move to Texas, and I can tell you~~in all the time we have been here, there has not been ONE doctor that even comes close to Dr. Hanson. He literally saved my life when I first had my kids! He taught me everything~~from not failing at breast-feeding, to baby-proofing our house, to discipline problems with kids. I could call him anytime, day or night, and he would get back to me. You are lucky if you live anywhere near Walnut Creek~~he is the absolute BEST!! He changed my life.
I love, Love, LOVE Dr. Hanson-he is the BEST doctor I have ever encountered-EVER! His knowledge, expertise, experience, and patience (especially for this 'Nervous Nelly' new mom) are immeasurable-how many doctors do you know freely and willingly spend over an hour discussing your child's health, progress, and well being?-even routine ear checks, etc. are thorough-NOT the in/out in two minutes you experience elsewhere. He is also available over the phone to answer questions/concerns you may have and responds in a timely manner if he is with a patient when you call. If I had any complaints it would only be that I wish he was a family practice doctor, because both my husband and I would love to have him as our own doctor as well. Yes, he is that good. As selfish as this sounds, I really hope he doesn't retire anytime soon-we look forward to having our son grow up with Dr. Hanson as his primary and only pediatrician.
Dr. Hanson is a great doctor and a great human being. Knowledgeable, thorough,,... he sincerely cares about the children and teaches us great parenting skills. The staff is friendly and helpful too.
Dr. Hanson is nothing short of amazing. I have never, ever encountered another doctor like him, no matter what his/hers specialty. He is knowledgeable, patient and more helpful than anyone would expect. We are so grateful to have him for a doctor. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a pediatrician, you are in good hands with him.
Dr Hanson was recommended to me by a family friend who was one of his nurses for years. She told me "do you think that I would work for a doctor for 20 years if I didn't respect him?" Dr Hanson is a remarkable Doctor. He told us in our first meeting that his goal is to help us raise our children into healthy well adjusted adults. His yearly talks about what we need to look out for and how to nip behavorial problems in the bud are invaluable. He has been a vital component in the health of not only our children but the health and happiness of our entire family. He has a reputation in the local health community as a doctor who keeps others on their toes. If I have any negatives to say about him it would be that he is too hard on himself about minor and even inconseqential matters. He insists on high standards of professionalism and decorom from everyone including himself. His incredible office staff are a testament to not only his but his wives ability to run a well orchestrated practice.
Dr. Hanson and the office staff are absolutely amazing!! We are so grateful to have them care for our daughter whom was born in Oct. 2008, but also thankful for Dr. Hanson's support in our guidance of us as new parents and in nurturing and doing the best for us as a family. Dr. Hanson and his team are diligent, thorough, accessible, practical and no-nonsense. We'd highly recommend Dr. Hanson and his practice!! The Kearney's
Dr. Diagnosis! He is so spot on with diagnosing. When my 5 year old had a common cold, Dr. Hanson said it could turn into asthma. Sure enough, we found our selves in the hospital that night with asthma. Dr. Hanson came and visited us in the hospital. I feel completely comfortable with his care. His staff is consistent and friendly. The same nurse has been there forever. That also says something about him. True, he is not warm and friendly, but I don't need a pediatrician for that - I need a super sharp and bright person who can diagnose the problem and help me fix it. He never is short or condescending to you. He doesn't make you feel stupid for coming in for 'no reason'. Don't hesitate to pick him.
This is the most awesome dr. ever! He was my sons dr. starting the morning was born and as a first time mother, he advice was more helpful then I can express. He made being a first time mom so much easier and stress free. I always had my Dr. Hanson note book to refer to, including the 3 pages of notes he wrote out for me while still in the hospital, 6 hours after having my son. I am so sad we are no longer able to use him due to an insurance change and none of the doctors we have been to since, come even close to what this man does. He is not warm and fuzzy but an amazing doctor. I truly feel my sons health issues suffer now due to the lack of a great doctor like Dr. Hanson. He REALLY cares and I would recommend him to everyone!
The best pediatrician in the world - this man is magnificent - he helped both me and my son - he discusses milestones and traps that children go through. Addresses not only the physical issues but also what goes on in the mind of a child....
Dr. Hanson has been our doctor for 22 yeas. In all that time he has continued to provide us with excellent care. I have referred him to many families in the last 22 years. He is a no nonsense doctor so dont go there for hand holding. Listen to his advice and follow it well.

The concept is that the formalism of past summits has made meaningful conversation difficult.
He was accused of "formalism," a catch-all accusation that, like "Trotskyite," had the ring of execution about it.
No one should be a slave to such a formalism, but should follow the plan when convenient.
He could never get over the idea that formalism was the soul of function.
They called it 'a tossing of tennis balls,' and set it down as one of the points of formalism.
The outstanding feature of Kiyomitsu's work is its formalism.
It is safe to say that formalism is no longer a characteristic feature of the typical American school.
It was the coldest piece of formalism it has been our lot to witness in an English church.
But they were free from pedantry, from formalism, they left the dying art of the ancient world and made their own way.
There was a formalism to it, there was pomp and circumstance.

R U Askable? Ten Simple Steps and Savvy Books to Promote Sexual Health Communication is a new exhibit at Dana created by Gale H. Golden, LICSW BCD. Gale Golden is a clinical social worker in private practice. She is also a Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Vermont College of Medicine, where she lectures and consults and has expertise in clinical sexology. Her most recent book is In the Grip of Desire: A Therapist at Work with Sexual Secrets.
In 2010 she was named Social Worker of the Year in Vermont by the National Association of Social Workers (NASW).
The Society for Sex Therapy and Research (www.sstarnet.org) offers these steps to become ASKABLE about sexual topics:
* Tell people/patients/clients you are ASKABLE about sexual topics.
* Do not expect yourself to have all the answers.
* Do not expect yourself to do the treatment.
* Do expect yourself to validate the person's concern non-judgmentally.
* Do expect yourself to know there are treatments available for most sexual problems.
* Do remember two people own the same sex life.
* Do remember un-partnered people are sexual too.
* Do expect yourself to recommend a consumer-oriented pertinent book for both parties to read.
* Do follow up with the person and sex partner within a month to see if they have any questions or need a referral to a provider who is knowledgeable about sexual issues.
*Do contact the Society for Sex Therapy and Research (www.sstarnet.org) to locate reliable and knowledgeable professionals who can address sexual concerns.
Come to Dana to see the exhibit, pick up a listing of recommended books or even borrow current books on sexual health.

'It's hard to identify precisely when the Buffalo Sabres took charge of Western New York. Was it while thriving during the regular season despite injuries to Briere, J.P. Dumont, Ryan Miller and Tim Connolly? When they strung five victories heading into the playoffs?'
Archives for 2006
A year of twists and turns
Thrashers should provide big test
'"There's lots of motivation," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said. "They're looking at closing the gap and we're looking at trying to expand it. I think both teams should be highly motivated."'
Home fans providing added spark
'The Sabres filled HSBC Arena to capacity 18 times last season. Tonight they will record their 19th sellout in 19 games when they host the Atlanta Thrashers.'
Sabres vs. Thrashers
'G Kari Lehtonen has a .936 save percentage in winning five straight.'
The '06 Six
'For a guy who'd committed a tripping penalty in overtime of an NHL playoff game, Jay McKee sure got a surprising reward. McKee was the first to greet rookie Jason Pominville after the rookie winger scored perhaps the most memorable goal in Sabres history — certainly the most memorable in a decade — as Buffalo eliminated Ottawa in the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.'
Nichol unrepentant after sneak attack on Spacek
'Will somebody please introduce this guy to Todd Bertuzzi?'

Sabres prove point in sweep of Hurricanes
'"I don't know about the other guys, but in my mind it's still fresh," said Kotalik, who scored on a penalty shot with 42 seconds left in the game, his fifth goal in as many games. "(Every) time I see Carolina on the other side it's something you can't forget, being knocked out in a Game 7." "Every time we play them it's something we think about," Sabres forward Jason Pominville said. "We still have that in the back of our minds."'
Cup champs swept away
'"They've been on a bit of a roll," Miller said. "After the first period, we really started moving the puck. It was a great start to the second period."'
Hairdo aside, Miller raises his game
'Miller doesn't care if he looks like Cousin It, so long as his game doesn't have a hair out of place.'
'Canes Adams enduring rough season
'The blue-collar center from Clarence has endured a tumultuous season after helping the Hurricanes win a Stanley Cup last spring. He broke his right wrist while blocking a shot in Game Seven of the finals, but offseason surgery wasn't successful. He was involved in a fistfight with teammate Bret Hedican during practice drills.'
Sabres find groove against Hurricanes
'"Basically, I said they didn't work. They didn't care about working," Ruff said. "We cheated our fans. We cheated everybody." Then his players responded in the final 40 minutes, as they have all season. Pominville scored 1 minute, 21 seconds into the second period, the first step toward turning a tightly contested game into a four-game sweep of the defending Stanley Cup champion and another dominant win this season.'
Sabres first-half award winners; team statistics
'Most Underrated Player: RW Jason Pominville – He quietly plays consistently well on a club filled with more recognizable offensive names. He ranks in the top five with 17 goals, 28 points, a plus-13 rating, one short-handed goal and three game-winning goals.'
Buffalo still special to Isles' Nolan
'"You have certain people in your life who help you through hard times," Nolan says. "And certainly my family was there, but the support I had from the people of Buffalo was unbelievable. They were very special to help me get through it. So to go back and coach in that building, it's going to be a lot of fun."'

Noel will be one of our tablers this year. Check out her flickr page here for samples of her work.
Why do you create zines?
In kindergarten my teacher stapled together little blank books with construction paper covers. Whenever we had free time I would take a book from the box and fill it with stories and drawings. Any type of book has always made the most sense to me as a space for my work. Sketchbooks are of course essential, but when the book is reproducible and shareable, that's when it becomes really fun.
Why do you
like love zines? I love books, I love small things, I love looking at other peoples' drawings, I love collecting things, I love hand-made things, I love making things, I love the community/collaborating, I love how innovative you can be when it comes to content, materials used, binding, etc.
What is something you're looking forward to about the 2012 zine fest Houston?
I've only tabled at Staple! in Austin so far, so I'm excited to meet different people and see a bunch of new work and experience the culture of a different zine fest. Also hopefully visiting Houston's Domy for the first time, and seeing one of my favorite friends.
What are your favorite zines/minicomics/etc?
I am drawn to experimental art/drawing that takes risks and is innovative as well as graphite drawings and printmaking processes. Unfortunately my book collection is temporarily packed away so I will inevitably forget something, but the ones that come to mind are Christina and Charles by Austin English, Goodness by Mel Stringer, Boys Club by Matt Furie, Jin & Jam by Hellen Jo. And I'm going to stop there because I could just go on forever…man I am not looking forward to suddenly remembering all the amazing books I forgot here.
What new projects are you working on this year?
I graduate from Southwestern University with an art degree in December, so I am taking advantage of access to the printshop and making intaglio, relief and litho prints, and drinking lots of coffee to be able to fit comic making in with that. I'm constantly drawing in my sketchbook so those drawings will be included in future zines. I have a story/drawings for my next comic in an embryonic state.
What is the concept behind your zine/zines?
I have many long hours of drawing and writing ahead of me to discover that. Honestly I struggle with disciplining myself and my work ethic but I do know that I was born with a passionate desire to put my drawings in little books, and that zine and comic making is not an endeavor that can be accomplished with intermittent bouts of work. So I guess right now my zines deal with the themes of anxiety, low brow humor, and more anxiety.

BREVARD, N.C.- Brevard College Director of Athletics Juan Mascaro is pleased to announce Bradley Morrison as the new Brevard College head men's soccer coach.
Morrison spent the 2013 under Mascaro, who served as the Tornados head men's soccer coach from 2007-2013, as the assistant with the men's program. Mascaro has accepted the position of Director of Institutional Planning and Research in addition to his responsibilities as Director of Athletics.
"I'm happy to be handing the men's soccer program to such a phenomenal person and coach," said Mascaro. "Bradley brought energy and an expansive knowledge of the game to our program last season, and I'm truly excited to see the program continue under his leadership."
Morrison joined the men's soccer program in August following a year-long stint working as an ODP Assistant Coach with the North Carolina Youth Soccer Association.
"I'd like to thank President Joyce and Mr. Mascaro for the opportunity to coach at Brevard, I'm honored and humbled," said Morrison. "I have learned a lot about life and coaching under Coach Mascaro, and I'm excited about what lies ahead for the men's soccer program."
Brevard finished the 2013 campaign 5-11 overall, and 3-8 in South Atlantic Conference play.

Marco de Vincenzo Fall 2014
It's ironic that Marco de Vincenzo, who lives in Rome, a city known for preserving its natural state (or indeed fashion labels preserving it), should in his rich collections elevate a piece of fabric to such a level that it's difficult to conceive of its original form. Pushing technical achievement to new heights, his runway show Sunday night had the audience at times musing on his handwork as its intricacies transformed fabrics into new realms.
"I think it's the craziest collection I've ever done," de Vincenzo said during a preview of his collection on Saturday. Well, only if the definition of "crazy" has been altered to mean "mind-blowingly great." This season, de Vincenzo elevated the bar, injecting a glimmer of disco and an elegant, vibrant feeling. Classics like faded tartan print dresses and kilts were given a different sense of modernity, shot through with shimmery fibers and hidden Lurex pleats that shone along the catwalk. De Vincenzo's reticence to include pants allowed for a rich variety of skirts and dresses, like sheaths with optical illusions—busy and dense graphic surface patterns composed of spheres—and macramé skirts (and duster coats) with a captivating undulating wave design that garnered ripples from the audience.
The Italian designer's manipulation, slicing, engraving, embossing, and embroidery may sound heavy, but de Vincenzo's talent is that his exceedingly complex creations always manage to have a lightness. "I love to take a simple fabric and transform it," said the designer, referring to a laser-cut supple shearling coat, whose tiny geometric forms gave the piece an added volume, setting it apart from the fabric's usual connotations. Milan's staple, the camel coat, had tiny rectangular cutouts that appeared to light up with metallic hues like silver and electric blue. There were discordant patterns like a jacket with a copper Lurex rainbow design paired with tartan; great beaver-fur coats with muted contrast polka dots and contrast sleeves came with spotty silk blouses, and checked minis offered remarkable workmanship with a sense of innovation.
The uplifting final looks—slinky shirts, jackets, and strapless dresses in a myriad of hues—were disco personified, indicating the designer was intent on celebrating. He'd certainly have plenty of reason to: just before the show, news came around that LVMH is said to be buying a stake in his label.

Comments about multi-active toner:
I spray this before I put in my moisturizer and it helps to keep my skin hydrated.
Comments about multi-active toner:
Love this toner! makes my face feel so even and clean!
Comments about multi-active toner:
I got a sample of this toner and I loved it! It is so refreshing feeling. I love that it has a spray instead of pouring it on a cotton round like my previous toner. My skin feels great after using it!
Comments about multi-active toner:
I still have two half-bottles of other toners, but after I tried the sample of multi-active toner I couldn't wait and bought a full sized bottle. It leaves my skin feeling clean and fresh, without any discomfort (some toners seem to hurt my skin initially). My husband said he noticed my skin looked better since I started a couple of new dermalogica products. And I love, love, love the comfort of a spray bottle!
Comments about multi-active toner:
Great addition to the special cleansing wash. Absorbs quickly and smells good too.
Comments about multi-active toner:
It doesn't burn or dry out my skin. I like to use I it as a midday refresher spritz.
Comments about multi-active toner:
You can feel this toner instantly bind your moisturizer to your skin. A very refreshing toner.
Comments about multi-active toner:
A couple of years ago, I never used a toner and if anyone told me they are great I would have said they are a bit of a waste, but not this one! OMG! it brightens, tightens and moisturizes! So incredible! Helps so much with dry winter skin! Thank you for such a great product
Comments about multi-active toner:
I like that it is in a spray bottle.
Comments about multi-active toner:
I use the toner along with moisturizer. It helps keep acne away and leaves skin looking "toned and refreshed." You can really feel your skin tighten a bit. The best part is that it dries quickly and does not leave a residue.

Q:Stinging: Is It normal for the multi active toner to sting my face when I use it?
3 answers
A:It's the lavender. Lavender is an essential oil and essential oils don't belong on the skin. They say they put 30 years of research in their products, but the numerous studies and publications about lavender oil seem to be lost on them. While it's anti-bacterial, it's also a known irritant. I can't use the toner for a very long time. It takes a few days until my skin tsarts to burn.

Travel (Arrangement & Reimbursement)
Your PA can help you arrange your travel. University Services offers many resources on their Travel Services page. There you will find information on booking, discounts, policies, and forms for University business travel. Read more Travel Reimbursement Procedures.
MILEAGE REIMBURSEMENT: Effective July 1, 2011, the rate for mileage reimbursement increased to $.555 per mile. This rate is based on U.S. Federal Government reimbursement rates. This reimbursement covers all fuel, maintenance, insurance, transportation, and operating costs. Fuel costs are included in the per-mile reimbursement rate and are not reimbursed separately for use of privately owned vehicles.
PER DIEM: If you have questions about per diem, please contact Carol Surma (phone: 847-461-3692, Office Tech L359), or talk to your division's program assistant. More links relating to per diem usage are available below, under "Links & Downloads."
CAR RENTAL: As per policy, use of rental car is allowed and will not be counted as part of per diem. You will however, need to submit separate receipts and an exception form for it. When renting a car, a business purpose needs to be provided. Also you will need to justify that the amount for renting a car was cheaper than the total combined transportation charge if cabs we used (as indicated in line 1 of the excerpt below). In most cases, acceptable reasons could be:
- The car was used to transport multiple people because it was a trip than involved more than one person.
- The place of destination or visit was a suburb thus the unavailability of cabs; rental car was needed.
- The car was used to transport equipment while on the field.
Excerpt of NU Car Rental Policy: (Page 10 of the travel policy)
Commercial rental vehicles should be used only when it is not possible to use the Motor Pool, as follows:
- Commercial rental vehicles should not be used if less expensive transportation is available.
- The University's designated vehicle rental agency should be used whenever possible (please make sure an economy class car is used, if not otherwise, state reason why).
- Discount car rental cards are no longer available.
- Economy, compact or subcompact vehicles should always be rented. Reimbursement will be made for other types of vehicles in exceptional cases (e.g., several travelers are riding in one car, equipment being transported, etc.)

MICHAEL KORS is an American fashion designer,Massapequa Park 11762
celebrated for his sports-luxe aesthetic,
his tireless charity work and his outgoing personality.
Kors was born on August 9, 1959. Massapequa Park NY 11762
Kors' birth name was in fact Karl Anderson, but upon his motherre-marrying his step father Bill Kors, his mother gave him theoption to change his first name also. "My mother said, 'You'regetting a new last name, so why don't you pick a new first name?'"Kors told People magazine in 1991. "Michael and David wereher favourites. I chose Michael as my first name and David as mymiddle name."
As a child Kors worked as a model, appearing in television commercials for breakfast cereal brand Lucky Charms and Charmin' paper towels.
Although he pursued acting lessons, he gave them up when he was 14 to follow his dream to be a fashion designer.
In 1977, he enrolled at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, only to leave nine months later when he was offered the opportunity to sell his own designs at New York-based shop Lothars.
It was here that Dawn Mello, the former fashion director at Bergdorf Goodman, gave Kors the opportunity to show his collection to the buyers at Bergdorf Goodman. A deal was reached and within three years, Kors' collections were stocked in all major luxury outlets in America including Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdales.
In 1979 he told the Pittsburg Post-Gazette: "I had nopre-conceived notions about what worked and what didn't. After (a year-and-a-half), I realised what kind of clothes I wanted to make,and that they worked. I always loved very simple, understatedthings."
1984 saw his first eponymous catwalk show.
In 1995 Kors told American Vogue: "I think that womenare interested in fashion, but only if it works. They're lookingfor a new answer to an old question."
In 1997, Kors was made designer of the LVMH-owned French fashion house Céline, reviving the brand and turning around its fortune and public image with his progressive, accessory-driven collections.
1999 saw LVMH buy a 33 per cent stake in Michael Kors' business and promoted him from designer to creative director at Céline.
He remained at Céline until 2003 when he left to concentrate wholly on his growing eponymous empire.
In 2003, Sportswear Holdings Limited acquired an estimated 85 per cent stake in Michael Kors for $100m (approximately £63,355,000), buying out the shares formerly held by LVMH, Onward Kashiyama, and Kors' long-time business partner, John Orchulli. Massapequa Park NY 11762
Throughout his profession Kors has promoted arising skill, offering the likes of Derek Lam and also Lazaro Hernandez – of Proenza Schouler popularity – teaching fellowships at his brand.
He has accumulated several distinctions throughout his job including: CFDA Womenswear Designer of the Year, 1999; CFDA Menswear Designer of the Year, 2003; the Oliver R. Grace Award for Distinguished Service ahead of time Cancer Research, 2010; the Fragrance Foundation's FiFi Award for Lifetime Achievement, 2010; and the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award from the CFDA, 2010. He was the youngest ever recipient of the last.
Kors wed his lasting partner, Lance LePere, in August, 2011.

Galapagos.com, providers of luxury Galapagos cruises and tours
The lure of the Galapagos Islands Cruise
Giant Galapagos tortoises meander distant highlands, and prehistoric marine iguanas sun themselves on black lava rocks along the shore. Flightless cormorants and tiny penguins dart through the waters while graceful red-billed tropicbirds screech across the sky. In the company of a Galapagos naturalist guide aboard a luxury Galapagos cruise, you set out to explore remarkable island ecosystems as you inch past lounging sea lions, scout for breaching whales offshore and pink flamingos in hidden lagoons. The volcanic Galapagos islands sit about 650 miles west of Ecuador in the Pacific Ocean. At first, they appear to be desolate. Yet, these rough and rocky isles are home to wonderfully strange and abundant wildlife. As Charles Darwin some 200 years before us, we marvel at the highly adapted creatures found nowhere else on earth.
When it comes to arranging distinctive Galapagos tours and Galapagos cruises, there is no substitute for the in-depth knowledge offered by the experienced staff at Big Five Tours & Expeditions. Galapagos tours and cruises begin right here, at Galapagos.com. Learn more about this remote yet surprisingly easy-to-reach destination from the comfort of our luxury Galapagos cruises.

Top Three: Markus Schulz
Listen to Markus Schulz on iHeartRadio
Markus Schulz is releasing his fifth artist album, Scream 2. The album is a continuation of thoughts and ideas after the release 2012's Scream, and features a number of great collaborations - including the famous CeCe Penniston, well-known for her early '90s dance floor hit "Finally."
To celebrate the release of Scream 2, Markus threw four album release parties in Los Angeles, his hometown of Miami, New York City, and London - at the world famous Ministry of Sound.
Right before his stunning 10.5 hour set at New York City's famous nightclub Pacha, we caught up with Markus and he told us all about Scream 2, how he makes it through those marathon sets, going down the rabbit hole, and his fans. He also told us the top three things that make him scream!
Check out what else the Unicorn Slayer had to say and Top Three with Markus Schulz below:
In the beginning of the Scream 2 behind-the-scenes video, you were on the phone with your manager. You were struggling to meet the deadline on the album and he said you were "late." Did you plan on releasing the album earlier?
Well, all the tracks were already finished, I just wanted to fine tune them, get the mix-downs a little better, you know, those little extra things. I think as an artist you never feel like you're truly done, and I just wanted an opportunity to go through each track, track by track one more time, and fine tune everything. But it wasn't like I was creating the music like at the last minute, everything was already done, I already said "oh it's ready to go" - but mentally I was just not prepared to give it up yet. So that 24 hours we just spent trying to fine tune everything.
Scream 2 is the follow up to Scream, and you said that there were some things that you didn't get to say with that album, so what is it that you wanted to say with Scream 2?
Well, I think it was just the ideas - you know, normally when I finish an album I'll take some time off and just kind of reset. When I finished Scream, I just felt like I was in such a good groove and still had so many ideas. There were still some artists that I had met and wanted to work with that I hadn't had a chance to. So we just decided I'll just keep working and see what happens. And through the bus tour, I was working on the bus, and in hotel rooms, and everything. And then by the summer time I realized "wow, you know what, we've got enough tracks here for another album." At the same time it really felt like the continuation of the story, so that's why I said this needs to be Scream Part 2.
You've said that behind each song there's a story. What were the most interesting stories to you - the stories behind the songs?
Yeah, each song has it's own unique story. Like in the video I already talked about how "Erase You" is like the sequel to "Nothing Without Me." "Destino" was made at a hotel in Ibiza, this new hotel called Destino which overlooks the Ibiza Harbor. I've said this before but it's so cool, cause I'll play that track - whether I'm playing it in a rabbit hole club or in front of 20,000 people it doesn't matter – mentally I go right back to that spot in Ibiza where I'm just soaking in the sun and just kind of feel the vibes.
There's a track on the album called "Reflection" which is a little bit special for me because I did it in Berlin, and my father was there, and he was listening at my little studio in Berlin. He was sitting on the couch all day long listening to me work, and dancing along, and kind of giving [his opinion] "oh I like this, I like that." So it was the first time that I ever had my father, who's also a musician, in the same room while I was working on a track. So that kind of has a special meaning for me as well.
"Remember This" was released before Scream 2 and you said you had been road testing it, and finally unveiled it at EDC. What do you remember when you hear "Remember This" – what memories come to mind for you?
The thing that I remember the most was working on the melody, and I remember thinking "yeah I like it, I like it." And then I remember I was on the airplane with Ferry [Corsten] and he plugged in his headphones. I was like "you know I was working on this melody" and he goes "you know these two notes if they go this way" and then I transposed two notes that way - which made me go "oh this note needs to go here." And as soon as it hit that top note, which is the first sequence ... goose bumps just everywhere! It was like I knew right then. And Ferry just looked at me like "wow this is the bomb, this melody is something special." So that's what I'll always remember about that. It's funny, cause even when we're doing New World Punx shows and we're up on stage, as soon as it hits those two notes, we just look at each other. It's just that "dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun" - Those top two notes. It's like it doesn't matter what happens afterwards, the glory is those two notes when they just hit. So for me that's what I always remember about that track. No matter where I'm at, especially if Ferry is with me, when the track plays and it hits those two notes, we just look at each other and nod and laugh.
You talk about "Destino" and Montreal and Stereo (an afterhours club in Montreal), and that afterhours sound. So what do you like about after hours the most?
Well in the after hours you can get into this vibe, this moment where you can't plan it, you don't know when it's gonna happen, but it's this moment when you know the entire room is unified. It's just a special feeling in the air and you just look around and everybody's looking at each other. You look at the people behind you and you just nod your head, and you're like "We're here - we are in the rabbit hole now, this is it." Whatever happens from there it just gets better and better, the vibe gets better and you just laugh. For me, when I'm down the rabbit hole and that vibe is there, that mood is there, all I do is just laugh. You can't create that atmosphere in just any club, and you just can't create that atmosphere at any time of the night. It's a journey to get there. And when you're there you know it, and it's never the same. Like I could play the same playlist in the next city the night after and it won't happen the same way. It's just the way the audience and the music and the vibe, everything comes together at that moment. It's special when you know you're in it.
CeCe Peniston is featured on your album, which is really exciting. She had such a classic with "Finally," and you actually know her from years ago. What was it like reconnecting and having her featured on Scream 2?
It was really cool. It's really funny because that was the track that I thought on the album people would just kind of like dismiss as just a pop artist or whatever. But I think that track, in all the interviews that I've done, people have all asked about that track and for me it's very special. I was working in a studio when I was first starting out, taking out the garbage, picking up dry cleaning, sweeping floors, you know scrubbing toilets - doing whatever I could just because I wanted to work in a studio and gain experience and everything. One of my friends actually helped write "Finally," and he was one of the writers on it, R.K. Jackson. So I've known her through all the years because of that experience. I mean "Finally" is like one of the greatest dance tracks of all time, and I remember I was playing at Avalon, I think it was last year or maybe a little bit longer - I had to do a double take and I'm like "oh my god it's CeCe!" She was there, so we got to chat a little bit, talk to her manager, and we were like "let's just make a track together, let's just see what happens, no pressure." And it just worked, it was really unexpected; I love the track, I love the way her voice sounds with trance music, and for me it's like coming full circle. You know, when I was taking out the trash, if a ghost would've appeared and said "she's gonna be a featured vocalist on one of your albums in the future" - I would never have believed it. So it's kind of cool to come around full circle again like this.
You're always on tour all over the world, but after the release of Scream, you went on a bus tour in North America. Do you plan to do the same thing for Scream 2?
Yeah we're putting together a bus tour again because for me it's like these release parties are more of a celebration of the accomplishment of releasing the album, or completing the album. So it's not gonna be the singers coming out, it's a celebration. And the bus tour is where I wanna put together a cool show for everybody to kind of showcase the album and the tracks.
[Buy tickets to the Scream 2 North American Bus Tour here]
You really like being on the bus?
Well you know, the first time I was on the bus, I was like "this is gonna be cool" - but it got old really quick. But the cool thing about it is when you put together a really good group of people, by the end of the tour you become a family and you're kind of sad when the tour is over. So I'm kind of looking forward to that process. I'm looking forward to working with a new team, bonding creatively, jamming out, and creating a special tour.
This is your first time playing a marathon set in New York City, and you've played these extended sets a number of times before this, like at Tomorrowland over the summer. How do you make it through those 10/11/12 hour sets? Do you ever get hungry or do you ever have to use the restroom?
I get hungry, I get thirsty ... no you know I don't [have to use the restroom] – that's the biggest question everybody always wants to know. But, you know, I don't drink any alcohol, I just drink some water here and there - and maybe iced tea later. But you just sweat it out and you're just going on adrenaline. I owe New York City an open to close set, and I've been promising New York City one for a long time - it's finally here and I'm really excited. I've been planning this for a while so I have a lot of surprises in store for them.
Speaking of Tomorrowland, your fans kept throwing things on stage, t-shirts, unicorns, flags, etc. Throughout your whole career what's the weirdest thing anyone's ever thrown on stage or asked you to sign? Any body parts?
Well I've got underwear and bras, yeah all kinds of stuff. You know what speaking of body parts, one time I had somebody – a prosthetic limb. So that is probably the weirdest thing, I signed. A prosthetic limb.

Spin-Art Ornaments
December 3, 2012 at 8:58 am melissaanddoug Leave a comment
(This is a guest blog post from Adrienne, aka The Iowa Farmer's Wife)
With the holiday season upon us, I decided it was time for us to make some homemade ornaments. This is the first year my daughter has been old enough to really get into holiday craft making and thanks to our Melissa & Doug Swirl 'n Spin Art set, she had a blast with this activity!
I set up the Swirl 'n Spin with the paint that comes with the set along with a few other colors I knew my daughter would love. A few bottles of glitter glue also made an appearance!
Once we got the hang of how the Swirl 'n Spin works, it was so much fun! My daughter is 3 and was able to spin it without any problems. We tried a few different ways: paint first, then spin; drizzling paint while spinning (this takes two people!); and adding more paint to a previously spun project.
While the paintings dried, I set up rhinestones, sequins and glue for a decorating station. Then, once the paintings were completely dry, I cut a few into circles to make topsy-turvy tress. I cut the circles in half, then folded the paper into a cone to create a "tree." I stapled the ends together, then stapled 3 cones on top of another to form a tree.
I also folded a few of the pieces of paper into origami style trees. I used a tutorial from a book we own, but here is a simple one here. (These ended up being my favorite, but my daughter is partial to the topsy-turvy trees.)
She decorated the trees, and then we added jingle bells to a few of them. We used embroidery floss as thread and threaded a jingle bell onto the strand before tying it off to create a loop used to hang the ornament.
We could have made these with regular paper, but I love the way they look with the designs created by the Swirl 'n Spin! Such a simple way to celebrate the holiday season!

BS in physics from Kansas State University (1996). At Kansas State, my research involved the characterization of the liquid-vapor surface of a critical binary liquid mixture using ellipsometry. The mixtures I studied were polymer solutions and ionic solutions.
PhD in physics from Cornell University (2001). At Cornell, my research involved strategies for improving protein crystallization, emphasizing the role of impurities in limiting protein crystal quality. Primary experimental techniques included two-photon fluorescence microscopy and x-ray topography.
Current interests at Westminster include various aspects of liquid droplet behavior and magnetic materials, as well as the projects I am currently working on with my experimental physics class.

Tornados Fall in HickoryFebruary 16, 2013
Hickory, N.C.- A strong second half for the Lenoir-Rhyne women's basketball team pushed the Bears past Brevard College 58-53 in South Atlantic Conference action on Saturday afternoon in Shuford Memorial Gymnasium.
The Bears engineered a 15-4 run late in the second half to turn a six-point disadvantage into a 53-48 lead on a Danielle Bongiorno layup with 3:25 left in the game.
The Tornados cut their deficit down to two points on a layup by Micheala Watkins with 1:31 remaining in regulation, but couldn't score on their final three possessions.
The Tornados led 23-21 going into the break, and had built an eight-point lead early in the second half after a 10-2 run capped by a Shelby Wolfe layup at the 12:40 mark.
Wolfe led the Tornados with a game-high 13 points while grabbing a team-high eight rebounds. Micheala Watkins had nine points, and finished with game-highs in both assists (five) and steals (five).
The Tornados remain on the road this week as they visit the Newberry College Wolves on Wednesday night at 6 p.m. The Wolves took the first meeting 65-55 in Boshamer Gymnasium back on January 23rd thanks to dominant interior play.
