100 million sharks are killed each year-by longlines, by "sport" fishermen, or by a barbaric practice known as shark finning. Hooked sharks are hauled onto boats; their fins are sliced off while they are still alive. These helpless animals are then tossed back into the ocean where, unable to swim without their fins, they sink towards the bottom and die an agonizing death.
With 90% of the world's large shark populations already wiped out, sharks are being depleted faster than they can reproduce. This threatens the stability of marine ecosystems around the world. Sharks are vitally important apex predators. They have shaped marine life in the oceans for over 400 million years and are essential to the health of the planet, and ultimately to the survival of mankind. Sea Shepherd patrols marine protected areas, exposing the corruption that drives this multi-billion dollar industry and directly intervening to stop the brutal slaughter of sharks.

By Todd Dybas The News Tribune
SEATTLE — Just more than four months from now, Washington quarterback Keith Price will enter revamped Husky Stadium with his full arsenal.
He says he rediscovered some of his swagger this spring, so he'll have that in tow. All the injured Huskies — many of them potential starters — who missed the spring practices are expected to be ready. Washington will rev up its offensive pace. And, at some point, tight end and All-American candidate Austin Seferian-Jenkins is expected to rejoin the team.
But just the swagger was around Saturday in Seattle's Memorial Stadium for Washington's 15th and final practice of the spring. The Huskies took a precautionary and festive approach to what was labeled a spring game, though there was just a trio of scrimmage portions.
At the end, Price contended next year's offense will take its place next to things that go bump in the night.
"We're going to be a scary offense," Price said.
Price's fluctuations from last season have been discussed at length. The dismay of fans was only trumped by Price's personal disappointment.
"(Last year) didn't end the way I wanted it to end," Price said. "I had my bumps and bruises. I figured they would come, especially after 2011. It felt too easy.
"I knew my time was to come and last year was my time. I learned from it, I dealt with a fair share of criticism, but it's nothing I can't handle. I'll be back to myself."
Saturday, little of what the fall could bring was being shown. The playbook was minimized because of public and television audiences. The Huskies ran things at a considerably slower pace than the other spring practices.
They also were without a litany of players on Saturday. Among those were offensive lineman Colin Tanigawa (knee), running back Jesse Callier (knee), defensive end Hau'oli Jamora (knee) and linebacker Travis Feeney (shoulder). Defensive tackles Lawrence Lagafuaina (knee) and Pio Vatuvei (knee) missed the entire spring. All are expected to be back in the fall.
Wide receiver James Johnson practiced most of the spring after missing last season with a wrist injury, but did not participate Saturday. Neither did running back Erich Wilson II.
Running back Deontae Cooper, who is trying to rally from his second ACL injury since he arrived at Washington, is a wildcard. Cooper was dynamic in practice when he first landed on campus, but, now a redshirt junior to be, he is yet to have a carry. Saturday, he worked in light non-contact drills and ran on the side with fellow injured players Tanigawa and Callier.
The anticipated return of Cooper and Callier provides Washington with running back depth it hasn't had since Sarkisian took over. Bishop Sankey (1,439 rushing yards) was vaulted to the starting spot after Callier's injury last season and had a spectacular year. Callier is viewed as a versatile receiving option out of the backfield.
Wilson had received a lot of spring carries before Saturday, with Callier out and Sankey taking occasional time off in practice. Redshirt freshman Dwayne Washington also had several spring carries. Kendyl Taylor is a hybrid running back/receiver who played last season and Ryan McDaniel is in the back-end mix, too.
That group will be looking for space with a more settled offensive line in front of it. Last spring and throughout last fall, Washington shuffled its offensive line because of injury and ineffective play. Much of the spring, Mike Criste played center for the departed Drew Schaefer. He had some snap problems Saturday.
Offensive lineman Erik Kohler, who missed almost all of last season because of a knee injury, returned in the second half of this year's spring sessions. He was the starting right guard Saturday and can play center or tackle after starting much of 2011.
The defense finished the spring knowing it has one void that to be filled, and the same two questions it had to start spring ball. Linebacker Travis Feeney, a starter last year, didn't participate in the spring because of shoulder surgery. He is expected back in the fall.
The starting cornerback spot left available by Desmond Trufant's graduation has not been settled. Nor has the second safety spot that Kamiak High alum Justin Glenn held much of last season.
With so many missing parts, the Huskies shirked a formal game in favor of practice and entertainment.
Head coach Steve Sarkisian was one of three participants in the quarterbacks' competition to hit the field-goal crossbar with a pass from 40 yards out. Redshirt freshman Cyler Miles — who worked as the backup Saturday — and fellow redshirt freshman Jeff Lindquist also hit the bar. No dice for Huskies legend Warren Moon.
"I think sometimes the spring game can get over-valued," Sarkisian said. "We had 14 really good practices and today was another good one."
Now, they head toward fall.

51s wrap up PCL division title
Las Vegas is third Mets affiliate to clinch postseason berth
By Jake Seiner / MiLB.com | August 31, 2013 10:25 PM ET
It's safe to say the mood was a little lighter in the Las Vegas clubhouse Saturday night than it was on Friday.
One night after blowing a ninth-inning lead against Tucson, the 51s exacted revenge and nailed down a playoff berth with an 8-6 victory at Cashman Field.
The 51s locked up the Pacific Coast League Pacific South title, eliminating second-place Sacramento to end the River Cats' stranglehold on the division. The pennant is Las Vegas' first since winning a franchise-record 85 games in 2002. And it came in the team's first season as a Mets affiliate.
"For me, I give credit to the players and credit to the coaches," said manager Wally Backman, who also won division titles with Double-A Birmingham in 2002 and short-season Brooklyn in 2010.
"The work the coaches did this year was more work than I've seen coaches do in my whole career managing in the Minor Leagues."
Las Vegas got a pair of solo homers in the clincher as shortstop Ruben Tejada belted his second at Triple-A this season in the opening inning. Catcher Francisco Pena snapped a fourth-inning tie with his ninth of the year.
Tucson scored two runs in the fifth to take a 5-4 lead, but Las Vegas responded in the bottom of the inning on Jamie Hoffmann's two-run double.
Hoffman finished 2-for-4, while Eric Campbell went 3-for-4 with a double, two runs scored and an RBI. The pair has played more games with the 51s season than anyone else, with Campbell receiving team MVP honors.
"[Hoffmann] brought some leadership," Backman said. "I think the young players responded to that. It wasn't just him but other guys as well.
"Campbell is a winner, he wants to win. If you're going to grade him out, he's probably just average, but he's a winner and can play multiple positions and he's a fundamentally sound player that just wants to play and wants to win."
The 51s rolled after Hoffmann's double, adding two runs in the seventh before turning the ball over to Cory Wade in the ninth. Making his first appearance with Las Vegas since signing as a free agent, Wade surrendered a solo homer to Gregorio Petit but struck out two for the save.
Las Vegas is the third Mets' full-season affiliate to earn a playoff berth. Class A Savannah captured a first-half division title in the South Atlantic League, while Double-A Binghamton captured his first Eastern League division title since 2000.
Other clinchings:
Arkansas 3, Northwest Arkansas 2
Angels No. 2 prospect C.J. Cron scored on a wild pitch in the bottom of the ninth inning as Arkansas walked off with a victory and the Texas League second-half North Division title. Robbie Widlansky singled home Cyle Hankerd with the tying run in the ninth before Cron scampered home with the winning run.
Arkansas recorded its sixth straight win and improved to 38-30 in the second half, four games ahead of second-place Northwest Arkansas with two to play. Gameday box score»
Modesto 5, Stockton 3
Jared Simon slugged a three-run homer in the first inning and Modesto held off Stockton to clinch the California League North Division second-half crown. Nuts starter Chris Jensen earned his fifth win by limiting Stockton to two earned runs on six hits over six innings.
Modesto improved to 42-26 and will have homefield advantage against Visalia in next week's mini-series. Box score»
State College 7, Auburn 4
Backed by Michael Schulze, the Spikes locked up the first New York-Penn League Pinckney Division title in team history. Schulze went 4-for-5 with a pair of RBIs and two runs scored, while Steven Ramos collected three hits and also scored twice out of the leadoff spot.
State College starter Kevin Herget gave up two runs on four hits over six innings to improve to 7-0. Box score»

At one point, Fiske opened a door that led, he said, up the "slave staircase" to the attic where the slaves slept.
Among these writers three have conspicuous merit—Doyle, Winsor, and Fiske.
When we reached Dr. Fiske's, his sleigh was in front of the door.
Lieut. Fiske thinks its first use was by the French in the siege of Paris, to discover the operations of the besiegers.
"Fiske is quite right in his main contention," Mr. Stenson interposed.
Both his friends were there; Fiske with a bullet-hole through his arm.
That such a letter should have any effect on home opinion is, as Fiske says, ludicrous.
Fiske did more than anybody else has yet done to restore themto show that they are corollaries of Evolution.
So much for the simple outward circumstances of Mr. Fiske's life.
Mrs. Fiske placidly remarked: 'Have we the other put up in its stead?

Patio Repave made easy with Ryobi tile saw
As you can see from the pictures our patio was in sad shape due to tile deterioration.
The hardest part of this project was having the concrete slope at an angle so that the
patio drained properly. Using the Ryobi 3/4 HP 7" wet tile saw was the easiest part
of this project. Super quick and easy to make all custom cuts I needed.
I also used a variable speed Ryobi drill to mix the thin set and grout.
Thanks for making Ryobi products that I can count on to get the job done!

Inside the Catch: Best Brawls, Discovery, 10.30am
IT'S like Deadliest Catch: Jerry Springer Edition or, as one of the crab fishermen here puts it, The Real Housewives of the Bering Strait. There aren't a lot of punches thrown in this argy-bargy retrospective, but there's a lot of push and shove and plenty of livid faces and bulging eyeballs as the captains and their crew members give each other spray after spray. It's bitter-sweet to see former skipper Phil Harris, who died after a stroke in 2010, reminiscing about how his sons Josh and Jake (now seasoned crab fishermen) brawled so much as children that he bought them boxing gloves so they could have it out in a semi-civilised manner. Of course, the pair continue to have their high-decibel differences to this day. This special is one for the fans, but newcomers would do well to try to catch a regular episode.
Best Friends, 13th Street, 9.30pm
CLAUDIA (Claudette Mink) sure looks like the best friend a women ever had. Nothing she can do to help her pal Beth (Megan Gallagher) in this so-so telemovie thriller seems too much trouble. But when Claudia offs her own husband for the insurance money we realise she is a cold, calculating psycho. Well, not that calculating - hubby's life insurance had lapsed so Claudia is broke and needs to set about destroying Beth so she can steal her more successful husband.

"Good Collection;Some you will remember a long whil"
The only thing that I would change is that I would add more stories to it! I was sorely disappointed when it was all over.
Any other short-story-collection-type of book. Since it's not a single novel or novella, it is a difficult question to answerm
I would, but only after having gotten used to her way of talking. Some may find the way she pronounces certain things kind of annoying. I found myself getting used to it and enjoying her narrating. (Although she is far from my favorite narrator)
This one is worth the money/token.
"the narrator had such an irritating drone !"
The narrator - over emphasised almost every sentence. Made the listening experience ghastlier than the stories.
Everything. She was atrocious to listen to. If I had tried this as my first ever audio book experience it would have made me leery of trying another one.<br/>Her over - emphasis was like chalk on a blackboard and really made it hard to enjoy the content. I will have to look for the actual book and read it myself as I could not bear a re-run via the ears.
Not with the assault on the ears. If it was possible to get the same audio book with a decent narrator I would be asking Audible for a swap.
I think I should be able to get a refund on this - I took to letting it run for 10 minutes while I fell asleep and have not heard one whole story of the collection - I have no desire to repeat the experience.

Beach Boys disrupt wedding with sound check
Listen to Beach Boys on iHeartRadio
Not everybody gets the Beach Boys as their wedding band. But the group performed during the ceremony for one Ohio couple last month - and didn't even know it.
Cleveland's "Plain Dealer" says while Mark Kent and Jaime Diadiun were exchanging vows along the Cuyahoga River The Beach Boys were playing their soundcheck at a nearby outdoor venue, and suddenly "God Only Knows" became the unplanned soundtrack to the "I dos." But the couple didn't mind. Jamie says it was "awesome and perfectly timed."
However, the Beach Boys felt bad about accidentally crashing the ceremony, and made it up to them.
The band invited Mark, Jamie, and their guest to attend the show for free. While guests made their way to the venue during the reception, the bride only arrived for the last song - or so she thought.
As she was leaving, the stage manager stopped her and brought her on stage to play tambourine with the band during their encore of "Fun, Fun, Fun."

WATCH: Slick Cubs fan makes great catch on homer, then throws back different ball
Whether you agree with it or not, tradition dictates that if you're a Chicago Cubs fan and you catch an opposing home run at Wrigley Field, you need to throw the ball back. That's why Cubs fan Mike Pullin came prepared to Monday's game and showed us twice just how slick he is.
First of all, Pullin, 65, made a great catch on a Mark Reynolds home-run ball in the second inning of the Cubs' 3-1 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. He was sitting in the last row of Wrigley's bleachers and reached over the railing to make the catch — essentially like an outfielder making a grab over the wall. It's a catch that many men half his age wouldn't have made, so Pullin deserves plenty of props for that alone.

How can you tell when a Clintonite is lying?
Bruce Lindseys lips are moving.
Nice move by the Clinton folks (Sandy Bergler, Madeline Halfbright and the Liar in Chief himself) bringing the ol' impeachment lawyer out of storage to attack ABC over their new miniseries.
Me thinks they doth protest too much.
We all know they are completely above any blame for the worst terrorist attack on our soil ever perpetrated.
And if Sandy Bergler hadn't shredded all those documents that he slipped out of the national archives in his socks I would have the proof to back that statement up.
Regardless of your definition of the word "is", the ABC series is ALL LIES, and by the way, Bill Clinton DID NOT HAVE SEX WITH THAT WOMAN, MS. LEWINSKY (I'm thrusting my finger in emphasis as I say that).-"You are about to enter a world of pain."
Re: How can you tell when a Clintonite is lying?
How do u know a Bush is lying ? he's talking.
I don't get into these BS topics but every now and then in a blue moon i read this section of the boards when i have been drinking and cant help myself.
I'm not going to debate what and what not Clinton did or didn't do. As a matter of fact I'm not debating anything i just want to say this...
Ask yourself how many people died on 9-11 and then ask yourself how many have died in Iraq. Then ask yourself why Osama bin Laden is still breathing and why we have let the government pull the bullshit they call the Patriot act on us. Theres a very very fine line separating the American Public from Freedom and Tyranny. Be a good American and don't question what the Government is doing. Whatever.
While I'm posting here in the realm of the Republican I also want to suggest a good movie I watched a few weeks ago V for Vendetta.

Re: How can you tell when a Clintonite is lying?
Better questions might be how many members of Al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations have been killed or captured since 9/11...and how many American civilians are still alive today because of the War on Terror and the measures we've taken to beef up security.
So, go ahead....sit there in your comfy house to watch the game today...and feel perfectly justified while you criticize the WH, the Patriot Act, and all the alleged "violations" of your civil rights. After all...being safe, secure, affluent, and free to criticize your goverment is what being an American is all about.THE 2nd WAVE LOYAL

Re: How can you tell when a Clintonite is lying?
How many?
Osama killed 2,973 people on 9-11 and he still is alive and plotting more attacks on the USA.
Meanwhile in Iraq 2,900 military personnel as of 8 September 2006 at a rate of 2.29 per day have been killed . These are total coalition casualties not counting Iraqi ally soldiers or Iraqi police. Also 40,057 - 44,584 Iraqi civilians reported killed as of 8 August 2006. Plus more.
As Katie Couric pointed out to Bush the other day "the US has galvanized terrorists worldwide. In other words, these policies have created more terrorists than they have eliminated"
His answer "Yeah"
So I'm in more danger of having my Comfy house blown to hell or inhaling some virus or something today than before 9-11.
Re: How can you tell when a Clintonite is lying?
In case you didn't know, our military personnel volunteered to defend this country and protect our interests around the world. They know ahead of time that they might be sent into harm's way. The people who died in the attacks on 9/11 were innocent civilians showing up for work. To compare the two is intellectually disingenuous at best.
I'm always amused by the hand-wringing over civilian casualties in Iraq since we invaded. Nevermind that most of them cannot be attributed to the military force applied by the US and her allies...nevermind that many of these studies include Iraqi military deaths to boost the numbers...it's more interesting that the same people who wring their hands today discounted and downplayed the mass graves, torture chambers, and the gassing of entire villages that took place under Saddam's regime.
Yes, UBL is still alive somewhere. That's an easy talking point to throw out there. Let's just not forget that he's totally isolated, reduced to smuggling video tapes out of his cave to let the world know he's alive while his second in command sends letters to people like Zarqawi begging for funds.
You seem totally unwilling to acknowledge the progress we've made, which makes me suspect that criticisms of Bush stem from something beyond how he governs the country. You're not alone...even Democrats in Congress find ways to bash the President - even as he caves to them on nearly every domestic issue that's important to his own base.
You won't find me drinking Bush's Kool Aid on the domestic side of things, but I won't criticize his foreign policy by losing sight of what's really important, either...and that's our domestic security.
Yeah, I can find things to criticize on that front also, but I would come at it from a direction directly opposed to the one you are taking. Bush is holding our military back for political reasons...they could do a lot more than they are doing in Afghanistan and Iraq. This could have been over a year ago if Bush weren't concerned with what his domestic critics might say and how the pictures might look on the nightly news.
Quite honestly, as the number of American military casualties climbs, I place partial blame on people in public office and the media who express opinions similar to yours.
War is an ugly thing, and there's no way around it. The problem we've had since Vietnam is that some think it can be conducted in a "civilized" way. Consequently, we don't project our military power in the most efficient and effective of ways. It's also too bad that so many actively scheme to work against our own military and security interests for partisan political purposes. We learned that during Vietnam, too.
Overall, however, history will bear Bush out on having pursued the more correct course. That could be undone if a Democrat takes power in 2008 and replaces our current policy with naive diplomacy and the Chamberlain-styled appeasement so popular with the Europeans these days. Thankfully, I don't see that happening. It's early days, but I see a Giuliani vs. Hillary campaign on the horizon....and Hillary is too unpopular with way too many people to actually win that particular match-up.THE 2nd WAVE LOYAL

Re: How can you tell when a Clintonite is lying?
Nice Red Herring there Dusty.
If you can't stick to the subject don't jump in a topic and try to hijack it.
Since you started it, here's a question for you, how many people would have been killed by Osama Bin Laden if the Clinton administration had done it's job and killed him when he was out in the open.
That's what we were talking about.-"You are about to enter a world of pain."
Re: How can you tell when a Clintonite is lying?how many people would have been killed by Osama Bin Laden if
People believe strongly one way or the other and nobody is going to budge so whats the use. Besides the fact that people will jump to snap conclusions about what you believe.
IE "Quite honestly, as the number of American military casualties climbs, I place partial blame on people in public office and the media who express opinions similar to yours".
Really? wow. My opinion is that we should have blasted the hell out of those mountains Osama was calling home with some nukes after they attacked us and left Iraq alone. It's also my opinion that since Bush is in Iraq he doesn't care about what anyone thinks so kick ass and get it over with. We are in there now so put the fear into them. Kill anyone who looks at us wrong. Thats why you go to war right? Beat up the other guy and make his people and others afraid to cross you again and live by the rules you want them too. Well we need to do a better job because they don't seem to be to damn afraid.How those opinions are causing American casualties is beyond me.
I'm done with this waste of my time. You Win.

Re: How can you tell when a Clintonite is lying?
Clinton is a silly man who will be looked at by history kind of in the same eye as Andrew Johnson - didn't really do much of anything, except get himself impeached.
Sandy Burglar should be in jail for the rest of his life - period, slam-dunk, end of story. I again pose the scenario: What if a member of a Republican administration had been caught having stuffed secret documents down his pants, destroying them, and then (this is my favorite part) blamed it simply on "being sloppy." Would Big Media have given a Republican a pass like it did Burglar? And, yes, that is a rhetorical question - the answer is a resounding NO.
The ABC movie isn't so much critical of the Clinton or Bush administrations as it is critical of the bureaucracy in which something must flow through before action can be taken. Clinton, of course, is upset because he has seen, sees, and will always see everything as being about him - very typical of the egomaniacal personality, which Clinton most definitely is.

Re: How can you tell when a Clintonite is lying?Worst post in the young history of this board.
Because you don't like it?
More than likely.
If you're going to make statements like that at least back it up with an argument.
Here, I'll give you some more fodder. I was ruminating this morning on how Bill Clintons character has shaped history. How could one fat girl and one morally depraved man end up having such a huge impact on world events? If we hadn't elected a serial fat-chick/white trash stalker and compulsive liar we may have had more of a commander and chief at a time when a clear and present danger was developing. Clinton is desperate to change history to throw the spotlight off the fact he was getting BJ's from mentally unstable 20 year old interns at the same time when he was facing sexual harassment charges, while he should have been governing and keeping us safe. He is terrified that he will judged by history that way and is capable of complete flights of denial and delusion when it comes to his legacy.
Also, those of you willing to perform Lewinskies on the ex commander-in-teenager-in-chief yet wanting to slam Bush need look no further than Bill Clinton himself to vent their rage. His shenanigans got him impeached, got us distracted as a nation, GOT BUSH ELECTED. Have any of you Clinton hugger/Bush haters ever thought about that? 300 votes in Florida ? Sound familiar. If you're unhappy with Bush, thank Clinton.-"You are about to enter a world of pain."

FoxPAC: Murdoch's lame explanation for News. Corp's donations to the RGA and CoC
Blog ››› ››› BEN DIMIERO
Last night, Politico's Keach Hagey got a response from Rupert Murdoch about News. Corp.'s recent million dollar donations to the GOP-aligned Chamber of Commerce and the Republican Governors' Association. Murdoch claims that the donation to the RGA "doesn't reflect on Fox News" and "had nothing to do with Fox News." Murdoch buttresses this assertion by stating that the gift was actually a result of his "friendship with John Kasich."
Murdoch apparently has an interesting definition of "nothing to do with Fox News." John Kasich is the former Fox News host who is currently running for governor of Ohio. Kasich was with Fox News for nine years and used his platform there to position himself for his eventual run for governor. Despite announcing in March of 2008 that he was paving the way for a gubernatorial run, Kasich continued to appear regularly -- in at least 123 segments* -- on-air as a Fox contributor and host until he formally announced his run on June 1, 2009.
After Kasich officially declared his candidacy, he has continued to benefit from his close relationship with the network, with Fox hosts and personalities campaigning for him, offering him easy interviews/infomercials, and openly rooting for his candidacy. As Hagey noted, Kasich's relationship with the network has raised ethical concerns in the past. The Democratic Governors Association "filed a complain with the Ohio Elections Commission accusing Fox News of making an illegal in-kind donation to Kasich by running a chyron featuring Kasich's website while he was on 'The O'Reilly Factor' soliciting donations."
RGA chairman Haley Barbour has previously said that he "asked Rupert Murdoch to help us, and he thought about it, and called me back, and said he wanted to help us. I'm very grateful."
Fox News is so far down the ethical rabbit hole that Murdoch apparently thinks "this donation had nothing to do with Fox News, I was only donating because I'm close friends with the former Fox News host running for Governor of Ohio" is a reasonable explanation. News. Corp's treatment of Kasich bodes well for their current stable of no less than five potential 2012 Republican presidential candidates.
And what about Fox's other million dollar donation to the GOP-aligned Chamber of Commerce? Well, Murdoch has an explanation for that, too. See, he "didn't expect" it to become public, and News. Corp is a member of the Chamber of Commerce, so Murdoch "just thought [he] was being a good member."
Add another example to Rupert Murdoch's "see no evil" approach to his flagship news property.
*CLARIFICATION: This post has been updated to clarify that Kasich appeared in at least 123 segments on Fox News. When Kasich guest-hosted The O'Reilly Factor, Media Matters counted each segment.

Must-See: The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier Exhibit in Montreal
This retrospective of the famous French designer's work is one not to be missed.
-Faye Brennan
Is fashion art? That's the concept Jean Paul Gaultier plays with in his brand new exhibit at The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, titled, The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier. From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk. After seeing it first hand—which I highly recommend you do—you'll be able to answer that question with a confident, "Yes."
Spanning the French fashion designer's successful career since the 1970's, the exhibit includes over 140 ensembles – the best and most fascinating pieces from his 150 couture and ready-to-wear collections and more. You'll see his cone-shaped bras and bustiers that Madonna made famous, his iconic blue-and-white sailor stripes, and his costume designs for movies like The Fifth Element. The installation is the first retrospective of its kind dedicated to the designer. Gaultier himself jokes, "Usually, exhibitions are for the dead, but I am alive!"
Indeed, Gaultier is alive… as is his exhibit. In an innovative and modern effort to elevate the visitor's experience, Gaultier's exhibit features animated mannequins. They're faces move, talk, sing, and look so real, you feel compelled to get insanely close to confirm that they are, indeed, just video images projected onto the mannequins' molded heads (see how they were made here). The effect is mesmerizing and achieves exactly what Gaultier, the exhibition's curator, Thierry-Maxime Loriot, and the director and chief curator of The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Nathalie Bondil, (all pictured below) had intended: to bring Gaultier's designs to life!
As Bondil explained in a press conference, "The faces are not just a special effect. Gaultier thought the mannequins should be alive, because fashion is alive. He wanted them to have real physicalities, and wanted real people to embody the fashion."
Gaultier added, "It looks like real people because of the movement, and the liveliness makes it feel like the real thing."
These animated mannequins are scattered throughout the six themed sections of the exhibition:
"The Odyssey of Jean Paul Gaultier," which features Gaultier's early work and experimentation with his favorite themes of sailors, mermaids and virgins;
"The Boudoir," where one will find the numerous corsets and cone-shaped bras that made him famous, including the costumes from Madonna's Blonde Ambition tour that she happily donated to the exhibit;
"Skin Deep," the section where one can see Gaultier's obsession with the beauty and seductive nature of skin, showing it off and creating new layers of it with clothes;
"Punk Cancan," where his love affair with the cities of Paris and London are displayed through the sexy and punk-rock designs he created for the women who live there;
"Urban Jungle," the section where one can see how Gaultier knows no ethnic boundaries, and uses the uniqueness of several cultures to influence his work;
and finally, "Metropolis," Gaultier's more modern creations that border on fantasy and science fiction – he designed these for several genres, including movies, dance performances, and pop icons like Lady Gaga.

Topic: 5FU
Has any taken the 5FU chemo? If so can you tell me some of the side effects?

Thanks, Cherryle
My husband took Xeloda which is the pill form of 5FU. He really didn't have any side effects. Others here have though. I think it depends on dosage. The larger dose you are given the more intense your side effects will be. Mary
My mom was taking Xeloda but last time they told her they were going to change it to the 5FU due to some side effects she was having from Xeloda. I'm not sure what's going on with that. She goes for chemo and to the dr. this Thursday so we'll know more then.
I am on 5FU at the minute (I actually finish it tomorrow after 30 doses) It did make me quite sick at times, it was strange as some months were better than others. I also got:
Bad taste usually lasts about a week
Sore mouth i.e. gums etc you can get good mouth washes for this
Sore lips they seemed to blister and can be sore but you get a very good paste for this
Skin dried up on hands and fingers, not much of a problem a good hand cream sorts this out although the tips of my fingers sometimes get sore but all in all not a big issue.
You also tend to get an upset tummy and run to the toilet quite a bit this seems to get worse as the months progress but you can get very good tables to sort this out.
My hair thinned but I still have a good head of hair.
Tiredness is a big problem but you have deal with it as best you can again it gets worse as the time progresses, you just do what you can, if I have plans in the evening I tend to rest alot more during the day.
My Minister advised me that I needed to be selfish and to look after myself first, that is hard espically as I have a wife and 3 year old son, but at the end of the day you have to be selfish so to speak and take care of yourself first. 6 months seems along time but it does go in quicker than you might think. I hope this helps and does not put you off I am glad I went through with the treatment.

Does existing depression make it more likely to have postnatal depression?
I am not pregnant yet but postnatal depression is something that worries me. I have a history of depression that I have been able to control without drugs mainly by diet and exercise but i still have days where I don't want to get out bed. Does this make me more of a risk for postnatal depression?
14th May 2014 11:24 PM #2
Dear Campbell,
Thank you for your question.
I'm afraid to say that a history of any type of depression does mean that you are more likely to suffer from postnatal depression, however, it does not mean that you definitely will. It would be wise to talk to your doctor about this when you become pregnant. Then you can have some support in place ready in-case you do experience postnatal depression. In some cases (where depression has been severe in the past), your doctor can prescribe you medication for postnatal depression when you are still in pregnancy i.e. as a precaution.
It's really important to have a good support network around you when you have a new baby - and this is even more the case if you suffer from any form of depression. It's good to hear that you are planning a healthy, balanced diet and also exercising regularly as this will reduce your chances of suffering from postnatal depression.
Please note that there are some forms of antidepressants that you can take whilst breastfeeding. If it comes to this decision then you do not need to choose between breastfeeding and antidepressants.
With warm wishes,

You are very welcome. I think you are doing the right thing to start considering this now. I hope you have excellent support (from family, friends and medical staff) when you do become pregnant.

(43 sc + 18 lge picot shells). End off thread.
Repeat rnds 1-13 to make second half of bag identical to the first.
Thread 76 beads onto a spool of Silk Serica thread. (Reserve 4 rem beads for drawstring handles.) Choose a tapestry needle that will pass through both the bead eye while large enough to thread needle with silk.
Crochet both halves together to include beads as follows:
Hold both halves together, one over the other, wrong sides facing to join. Ch 2, 1 sc in 1st picot of front half of bag, ch 2, 1 sc in 1st picot of back half of bag, ch 2, 1 sc in next picot of front half of bag, bring 1 bead upward on thread holding it firmly against the hk, sl st to hold bead in place, ch 2, 1 sc in next picot of back half of bag. Repeat, around the edges of both halves of bag, placing a bead after completing ea sc on front half of bag. Make sure that you are always joining the picots from one half of the bag to the corresponding picot of the second. You should have 4 beads for each picot in ea large picot shell. Rep until both sides are joined together leaving sc sections separate to form opening at top of bag. Do not cut thread.
Work around top opening of bag only using the strand of silk thread still in place:
RND 1: Ch 5, (sk 2 dc, 1 dc in next lp) twice, ch 5, 1 dc in sp between next 4-dc group, ch 5, sk next 2 dc, 1 dc in next lp, ch 5 (1 dc in next sc and in ea 3rd sc around bag opening,) end with ch 5, 1 dc in last sp, ch 5, sk 2 dc, 1 dc between last 2 dc, ch 3, sl st in 3rd ch of starting ch.

Draw-string handles: make 4
Using same hk and silk thread, crochet a chain 32-inches long.
Turn, ch 1, sc into ea ch to end. Cut thread leaving 5-inch tails.
Starting at side seam of bag, thread strip in and out of the lowest row of shell spaces on one side of bag. Withdraw strip at opposite edge of side seam. Pull strip until even at both sides. Turn purse and repeat for back half of purse.
Staring at side seam of bag, thread 3rd strip in and out of the row of shell spaces just above the first, taking care to alternate the spaces used with the previous strip. End at side seam. Rep for 4th strip.
Pull strips evenly so they extend beyond the sides of the purse evenly.
Close handles:
Take cut ends of silk on ea strip and using the needle, thread 1 bead onto the end of the silk. Rep for second strip on same side of bag. Join ends of strips by passing the needle through the eye of both beads 2 or 3 times as space allows in the bead hole. Cut rem thread ends and weave them into the sc portion of each strip. Rep for opposite of bag. Bag closes by pulling each dbl handle on ea side to gather. To open, pull gathers apart. Dry block by pinning purse and handles on blocking board. Be sure to use rust-proof pins to avoid leaving marks on silk. Cover with a damp cloth for an hour or so. Remove cloth and allow bag to dry thoroughly.
Lining and interlining:
Choose matching or contrasting color of heavy satin for lining. Cut 2.
Choose a lighter weight in harmonious color for interlining. Cut 2. Do not use heavy satin for both layers or purse will become stiff and may lose its shape.
Cut fabric using blocked purse as a pattern, allowing at least one-inch of seam allowance around the edge of the purse. Baste the two pieces of satin together, right sides facing. Turn right outside and drop lining into purse. Adjust seam allowances as needed to completely fill the purse without wrinkles. Remove satin lining from purse and stitch around by hand or machine to fit purse. Trim excess fabric in seam allowance. Turn right side out and press seams well around. Set aside.
Cut interlining using the same pattern shape as you used for the final shape/size of satin lining. Right sides facing, sew around making seam allowance 1/8" smaller than lining. This allows the weight of the contents of the bag to be borne by the interlining rather than to stretch the lace itself. Do not turn interlining inside out. Instead, drop it into the lining so seam allowances of interlining lie against the wrong side of lining. Use your hand to make sure both layers are even throughout.
Last, turn the seam allowances of both lining and interlining to fit the last row of the sc crocheted portion of the bag. Manipulate so that both seam allowances face each other, leaving neat folds of each fabric layer at top. Pin with long silk pins around the opening of bag. Ease as needed to avoid tucks as lining is just a bit larger than interlining. When both layers are smooth and pinned around the bag's opening, using matching silk thread and tiny whipped stitches, attach both fabric layers as one around the crochet portion of bag. Make sure not to catch the handle strips into your stitching otherwise the draw-strings will not be able to be pulled together to open or close. They must slide easily through the spaces of the lace.

Black Bean and Jalapeno Dip
This recipe was devised to make use of McCain potato wedges – a lovely, spicy dip which comes into the how-to-cheat category as it honestly only takes ten minutes to prepare.
A note on ingredients: chair de tomate is a tomato puree and is available from supermarkets, though half a tin of tomatoes (drained) is a perfectly good alternative. Jalapeno peppers come sliced in jars, there are a number of makes on the market.
This recipe is from A Year In My Kitchen Servse 6-8
- method
- Ingredients
First of all drain the black beans and rinse them under cold running water.
Now place half of them in the goblet of a food processor, then add the tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, lime juice and coriander. Season well with some salt and whiz the whole lot until it is quite smooth.
Next add the rest of the black beans and give these a short burst in the processor (this is to give the dip a little bit of texture). Now transfer it all to a bowl and fold in the crème fraiche.
Taste to check the seasoning, then serve garnished with some more coriander and wedges of lime, with potato wedge (or whatever else you fancy) to dip in.

East Village Community Coalition "Get Local" Shopping Guide Is Out
November 23, 2009
On November 23, 2009, Assemblymember Brian Kavanagh's Community Liaison Izzy Murguia joined the East Village Community Coalition (EVCC) at a launch party for its new edition of the East Village "Get Local" Shopping Guide. EVCC unveiled its third edition of the guide at Sustainable NYC, located at 139 Avenue A. Community residents enjoyed complimentary organic finger food, wine, and music and received local shopping discounts. Kurt Cavanaugh, Managing Director of EVCC, reminded the crowd that buying locally helps sustain the storefront shops and other small businesses that make up the rich diversity that is a part of the Lower East Side's identity. To obtain a copy of the Get Local Shopping Guide, visit EVCC's Web site. The third edition is available now through Summer 2010.

Charlottesville, Va. – Even though the snow kept the University of Pennsylvania men's swimming team from fully competing on Friday in the Cavalier Invite hosted by the University of Virginia, it didn't stop the Quakers from coming out on top and placing first out of five at the conclusion of the meet Saturday evening. Against the other four teams, the Red and Blue totaled 520 points and in front of second place Virginia with 403.
Penn didn't have the lead the entire time though, as the Quakers only competed in the 200 free relay and the 400 medley relay on Friday. The 200 free relay "A team" -- sophomore John Germanis, freshman Jimmy Jameson, freshman Zach Fisher, and sophomore Kevin Intreieri -- took first place with their time of 1:21.81, while the "B team" -- freshman Jordan Hurwitz, junior Mike McElduff, freshman Kevin Su, and junior Sam Ruddy -- placed fourth with a time of 1:24.68. The Red and Blue put up 70 points to start the meet and wrapped up the meet with an additional 74 points from one-two finishes in the 400 medley relay by the "A team" -- Jameson, Fisher, freshman Michael Hamann, and Germanis -- and "B team", with times of 3:22.70 and 3:27.81, respectively.
Team Rankings at the End of Day One
1. Virginia (178 pts.)
2. William and Mary (147 pts.)
3. Penn (144 pts.)
4. Drexel (45 pts.)
5. Duke (34 pts.)
Saturday's events started with the 200 medley relay, which the Red and Blue earned points in from their first and third place finishes. The "A team" -- Jameson, Hurwitz, Fisher, and Germanis -- was first to touch the wall for Penn at 1:31.37 and was followed by the "B team" -- sophomore Brian Foley, Scott, Hamann, Interieri -- who touched at 1:33.64. The Quakers added 72 points from their finishes.
In the 400 IM, junior Alex Elias earned 15 team points from his fourth place finish at 4:08.46. Elias also tacked on another 17 points with his second place finish in the 1650 free and a time of 16:03.51.
The Red and Blue contributed 61 points in the 200 free. Juniors Ruddy and Konner Scott tied for second place with a time of 1:40.22, both earning 16.5 points. Su, who finished fourth at 1:40.24, and McElduff, who finished sixth at 1:43.65, also added 15 and 13 points, respectively.
Another chunk of points came in the 100 fly for Penn, as Jameson and Fisher took second and third place. Jameson completed the heat in 49.01 and earned 17 points, while Fisher touched the wall right after at 49.47 and earned 16 points. Fellow freshmen Hurwitz and Hamann also finished back-to-back, as the Quakers took sixth and seventh, respectively. Hurwitz completed the heat at 50.54 -- earning 13 points -- and Hamann finished at 51.44 – earning 12 points.
Germanis was the lone member of the Red and Blue to capture an individual win over the course of the meet. His time of 20.59 in the 50 free earned the team 20 points.
Penn wrapped up the meet with a one-two finish in the 400 free relay. The "A team" -- Interieri, Jameson, Fisher, and Germanis -- was first to touch the wall at 3:01.03 and was followed by the "B team" -- Scott, McElduff, Ruddy, and Su -- which touched at 3:01.03.

Press Room
Public Hearing: Rule Change on Free Wednesdays
Georgia's State Park System Considers Fee Change
ATLANTA, August 27, 2010 ~~ The Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is requesting public comments on a proposed rule change that would eliminate "free Wednesdays" at all state parks. Under current rule, park visitors are exempt from paying the $5 parking fee on Wednesdays at sites such as Amicalola Falls, Indian Springs and Crooked River. Written comments will be accepted until October 22, and the change could go into effect February 2011.
The proposal is in response to the state's budget crisis and the Georgia General Assembly's direction for the state park system to become more self sufficient and less reliant on state general funds. Each year, parking fees generate $3.8 million for state park and historic site maintenance, such as campground renovations and trail construction. The DNR estimates that the free Wednesday program represents a loss of $400,000 in revenue. The daily parking fee is $5, and annual passes are available for $50. Georgians still have the opportunity to visit state parks and historic sites for free through the Library Loan Program, which allows citizens to check out a free Park Pass and Historic Site Pass from public libraries.
The proposed rule revision and public comments will be considered by the Board of Natural Resources at its meeting on October 27 in Savannah. Written comments may be submitted by October 22 online at http://www.gastateparks.org/parks/contact.aspx?et=0&s=0.0.1.5 or by mail to Sherry Crew-Jay, Confidential Secretary, Parks and Historic Sites Division, Suite 1352 East, 2 Martin Luther King, Jr., Drive, Atlanta, Georgia 30334. Spoken comments may be presented during a public meeting on September 2, from 9 a.m. until noon, in the DNR boardroom at Suite 1252 East, 2 Martin Luther King, Jr., Drive, Atlanta, Georgia 30334.

The big news yesterday was that MGM is thinking of making yet another film version of Ben-Hur — and that was just one week after it was reported that Brad Pitt was thinking of starring in a movie called Pontius Pilate.

First, last Wednesday, the Hollywood Reporter said Ang Lee, the Oscar-winning director of Brokeback Mountain and Life of Pi, was interested in directing the Cleopatra movie that Angelina Jolie has been attached to for the past couple years.

In ancient Egypt, the scarab beetle represented resurrection and renewal, and was depicted in art and jewelry as a talisman of good fortune. Allen Elishewitz is an acclaimed young Canyon Lake, Texas, knifemaker who offers a surprising range of custom knives, many with Egyptian-themed names. It is your good fortune that our production Elishewitz Scarab™ has turned out to be everything we could imagine in a personal folder.
We set out to translate Allen's custom into a slightly smaller, personal-size folder for carry convenience, and along the way, incorporated the patented features that have made CRKT folders so popular, including OutBurst™ assisted opening(1) and the LAWKS® safety(2).
The Scarab has a 3.25" blade and is 4.25" long when folded, dimensions that knife users tell us are "just about right" for a personal carry. Weighing 4.9 ounces, it also has just the right heft.
The Scarab frame uses a stainless steel InterFrame build with one locking liner. Black textured Zytel® scales are inlaid with the latest tough and hard CPL composite, like that used in modern bowling balls, featuring blue/gray swirls. Each inlay has a unique pattern.
The blade is another one of those unique shapes that Allen is noted for. We call it an Elishewitz drop/spear point, swedged and recurved. The blade is AUS 8 premium stainless steel in a bead-blast finish. Both Razor-Sharp and Combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point™ Serrated edge grinds are available.
The Scarab comes standard with our patented OutBurst assisted opening mechanism, which instantly springs the blade fully open after you have opened the blade approximately 30 degrees. If desired, the OutBurst mechanism can be removed to allow fast, conventional one-hand opening using the custom Elishewitz ramped thumb stud.
The Scarab's patented LAWKS® safety effectively converts your folder into a virtual fixed blade when actuated. Just slide the lever forward to lock, and slide it back to enable easy one-hand closing.
As a bonus, you get a gold Elishewitz logo on the blade and a custom removable stainless steel pocket/gear clip.
Plus, we have priced the Scarab to further add to your good fortune.
- Blade: Length: 3.25" (8.3 cm)
- Thickness: 0.14" (0.35 cm)
- Steel: AUS 8, 58-59 HRC
- Closed: Handle length: 4.25" (10.8 cm)
- Open: Overall length: 7.50" (19.0 cm)
- Weight: 4.9 oz. (139 g)

Look at john wayne parr, he fought 'caged muay thai', full thai rules with mma gloves in a cage. Leaving the opinions of people in the know to one side, from an uneducated fan's point of view, the cage itself is a factor that draws them to the event, and they want to see guys kicking the fuck out of each other (rightly or wrongly). This style of fighting is what the majority of casual fans expect to see from a 'cage fight.' Imo, mma should be the only style contested in a cage, but my opinion counts for shit.
Edit - side note
To be fair the jamaine facey fight was exciting.

Good markets share requires a good product. Back in the day it was a good product but by today's standards, Blackberry is like t-9 texting.
smh im not sure Blackberry will be around in the next decade not unless they pull a nokia and join windows platform lol
It's funny to see people say "Apple and Samsung will dominate the smartphone market forever" or "tablets will last forever! They aren't going anywhere." People said the same thing about VCRs and polaroid cameras -- look at them
Oh, and mega companies can fall off the charts if consumers' tastes change or if a new product comes out that make smartphones or tablets obsolete. I know it is probably difficult to imagine, but it has happened repeatedly throughout history and will continue. If any of the current dominant players of a market, in this case smartphones and tablets, miss out on that new product they will have to play catch up. Just take a look at Intel.
Point being, science and technology can change at the blink of an eye. We have some extraordinary people on this earth working day in and out to bring us gadgets and technology that could make a tablet or smartphone look rudimentary.
Waitaminute...Is this one of the guys that stood around a shiny conference room table scratching his head over how he "didn't get" the iPhone back in '07?

Owens using strikeout as calling card
Red Sox first-rounder fans seven, allows one hit in four frames
By Sam Dykstra / Special to MLB.com | April 30, 2012 7:34 PM ET
Whatever you call them, Henry Owens has been racking them up in bunches in the South Atlantic League. He struck out seven over four one-hit innings Monday as the Drive blanked the Lakewood Blue Claws, 7-0, at FirstEnergy Park.
After being selected 36th overall in last year's Draft, the 19-year-old left-hander has fanned 36 batters in 18 1/3 frames. That's good for sixth among all Minor Leaguers and six fewer than just-turned-former teammate Matt Barnes, who ranks second. The 6-foot-6 southpaw's 17.7 strikeouts per nine innings unofficially lead the Minors -- Rancho Cucamonga's Garrett Gould ranks second with 16.1.
"Things felt pretty good," Owens said Monday after his fifth outing as a pro. "My fastball was working the corners pretty well and I had a good changeup. That helped get the 'call-me' total up pretty quickly, so that's always good."
Despite the high strikeout total, the California native owned an 11.81 ERA after allowing at least four runs in each of his first four appearances. Against Lakewood, he lowered that mark to 7.85.
Owens blamed his struggles on leaning too heavily on the "call-me."
"Early on, I was trying to strike guys out a lot," he said. "Lately, I've been pitching to contact more, and that's helping to limit my pitches. My goal's always to get to five innings, so that should help with that."
Owens went 12-1 with a 1.15 ERA and 140 strikeouts over 91 2/3 innings at Edison High School in Huntington Beach before Boston selected him with their third first-round pick. He acknowledged he needs some time to transition from high school ball to the pro ranks before he can come close to reproducing those numbers.
"Everyone here can be a No. 3 or No. 4 hitter where I came from," Owens said. "You can't just blow it by people here. You have to set up pitches, throw your contact pitches and try to get outs that way. It's a change I expected, but it's something I'm just starting to get comfortable with."
Yeiper Castillo (1-0) allowed the Blue Claws' other two hits and struck out seven over the final five innings to get the win. Red Sox No. 10 prospect Garin Cecchini went 2-for-5 with a double and two runs scored, while Keury De La Cruz contributed two hits and three RBIs for the Drive.
Lakewood starter Kenny Giles (0-1) allowed three runs -- two earned -- on four hits in four-plus innings. Phillies No. 12 prospect Aaron Altherr doubled, singled and was the only BlueClaw with more than one hit.
