Investigation for head conformation in the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
Swedish Kennel Club and Cavalier Matters Charity/Rupert's Fund fund research into cavalier head shape and syringomyelia
Can you please help?
Wanted – photos of cavaliers over five years old
It is hoped this project may help to shed further light on the painful condition called syringomyelia. Recent research has found two significant risk factors in head shape for syringomyelia. This study will focus on whether such risk factors in head shape can be identified visually.
Do you have a Kennel Club registered Cavalier that is over the age of five that you would be prepared to have MRI scanned at no cost to you?
If you can help we need photos from different angles in order to select dogs for the project. It would very much help us to assess the head shapes of the Cavaliers if we could be sent clear photos with uncluttered backgrounds and the head photographed in the right position. You can see below examples of the pictures required.
Please send in photos of as many dogs as you can to firstname.lastname@example.com
A selection of dogs will be offered free MRI scans. The identity of participating dogs will not be published.
Photo instructions:
We need photos 1) from the side 2) from above 3) from the front. Camera held at the height from the dog's head from ground. The photos should be taken from straight angles, straight from the side etc. If possible only head should be in the frame, ear pulled down on the side view to not obscure head shape.
These are examples of good photos, a neutral background and taken from the correct angles:
Many thanks to all of those who are able to help!
About the study…
Judging dogs is an art, not a science. The subtleties of head conformation are often only appreciated by breed type experts and in particular those who breed and judge at championship level.
Recent research has found two significant risk factors in head shape for the painful disease syringomyelia. This study will focus on whether such risk factors in head shape can be idenitfied by breed experts, without the need for measurements. The funding also provides the means to validate protocols established previously for quantitative trait analysis and conformational indicators to indicate risk for Chiari-like malformation and syringomyelia.
This initiative is funded by the Swedish Kennel Club and Cavalier Matters Charity (Rupert's Fund) and supported by the Companion Cavalier Club.

The state of long-term oxygen therapy
"The Long Term Oxygen Therapy (LTOT) Conference; Separating Fact From Fiction" held March 31-April 1 in Orlando, Fla., was not like the typical oxygen conference. The objective of this meeting was to focus on the science of LTOT and identify the issues that are impacting effective oxygen therapy in the home. The faculty consisted of some of the most respected pulmonologists and clinicians in the country. The goal was to have an objective review of the current situation in LTOT and discuss what we know, what we don't know and what we must do to change direction in therapy to improve overall outcomes for patients needing LTOT.
Here's a recap of the conference:
Dr. Nick Hill and Dr. Barry Make were conference co-directors. Their presentations established the foundation for the conference by discussing current issues and obstacles in LTOT. Like the Oxygen Consensus Conferences, this meeting came about due to the problems related to more patients needing oxygen and payers reducing reimbursement with the associated impact on products and services. Clinicians have not been actively involved in the assessment, treatment and follow up of patients on LTOT, with the result being patients on home oxygen that may not be oxygenating at all activity levels. The lack of attention to this detail can cost payers more in complications and hospitalizations.
Dr. Hill presented the pathophysiology of chronic hypoxemia to discuss the complications of not oxygenating a patient effectively. The goal of LTOT is to keep patients' oxygen levels at or above the accepted standard at all activity levels. The lack of assessment and follow up for patients on home oxygen equipment could have the patient below acceptable levels (hypoxic) causing complications and co-morbidities. The whole point of LTOT is to prevent these complications--an important reason clinicians should be focused on oxygenation as opposed to equipment.
Dean Hess PhD RRT presented a review of the literature for LTOT. There is strong science for some aspects of LTOT, yet in other areas the science is lacking. The rapid evolution of oxygen products and the changing patient has created a gap in the science that needs evidence. The literature shows that oxygen therapy is effective, yet most of the studies were conducted in a hospital environment with traditional continuous flow products. The new products used today do not have strong evidence of effectiveness and historical research does not set the scientific foundation for these new products or procedures.
Dr. James Stoller presented an overview on the available home oxygen systems. This has been one of the most confusing areas in home oxygen therapy as products have evolved that address the patient's desire for mobility and the payers need to reduce costs. New products have evolved past the traditional continuous flow methods using 99% pure oxygen to intermittent flow delivery with oxygen concentrators producing less than 99% pure oxygen. The combination of lower purity, intermittent flow delivery and patient varying respiratory patterns require the clinicians to be aware and involved in the assessment, prescribing and follow up for patients receiving oxygen in the home.
Dr. Rich Casaburi discussed the challenging question as to whether a patient can be adequately oxygenated 24 hours a day. This is a possibility, yet may not be the reality in today's environment. The combination of patient's ability, available equipment, reimbursement, patient and clinician education, and the overall challenge of focusing on the patients needs at all activity levels makes this a daunting proposition. Dr. Casaburi feels we can do it, yet we need to address the patient oxygenation first, then reimbursement.
Dan Easley and Kim Wiles RRT presented a new model they have developed that focuses on patient oxygenation with the goal of overall reduction in costs. The combination of respiratory therapists focusing on the patients overall healthcare needs in the home with the use of technology and data collection have shown to reduce hospital re-admissions. This is an example of a model for the future with a focus on clinical outcomes as opposed to equipment delivery for homecare providers. The data from their research should help establish an objective reason why hospitals should participate with homecare providers to reduce re-admission.
This conference was unique in that it targeted high-level clinicians to clearly understand the issues in LTOT, which is not about costs or equipment at this time, yet more about clinically effective LTOT. The conference presented why prescribing clinicians need to understand and be involved in the assessment, prescriptions and follow up of LTOT patients to insure we are accomplishing clinical objectives rather than going through the process of just placing oxygen equipment in a patient's home.

Part 2
In the last issue we began a discussion of animal feed or nutrient intake as it affects performance. One of the most common sayings in animal feeding is that we are feeding the averages. If we have a group of 100 head of cattle, regardless of age we have 100 different feed consumption patterns. Just like people, a group of cattle is a group of individuals. Our goal in feeding and supplementation is to standardize intake as much as possible so that this group of 100 head is consuming. It must be understood that a producer can only do so much. This is an inherent situation, i.e. it just is what it is and always will be. But there are some steps and strategies we can take if we understand a little about cattle eating patterns. We will discuss some of these strategies as well as these eating patterns.
Individual Eating Patterns
As mentioned previously, cattle are a lot like people when it comes to how and what they eat. There are some cows that eat more aggressively than others. We see this commonly if we supplement a group of cows periodically (i.e. once per day, three times per week, etc,) this means we are feeding a specific amount of feed to a set number of animals. For instance, let's say a producer is supplementing his 100 head cow herd with four lbs. of range cubes daily. So each day he is putting out 400 lbs. of cubes. Hopefully he is feeding these in a trough since you lose a lot of feed by cubing straight onto the ground. As he begins to feed (opening bags one at a time and dumping them into a trough), the more aggressive cows will be there first and begin eating first, as he empty's more bags the other cows can get to the trough to eat but remember the aggressive ones have been eating first and are continuing to eat even as the more timid cows are only getting started. So over the course of the 10 minutes it takes him to put out eight bags of cubes some cows may eat 10 lbs. of cubes and some may get none at all (remember the table in Part 1?). This creates a whole list of problems including:
1) Some cows can become over-conditioned due to excessive grain intake.
2) These same cows may then eat less hay which causes an overall imbalance and can even lead to bloat or acidosis.
3) Over-conditioning can lead to breeding problems or in pregnant animals can result in bigger than desirable calves which can increase the need to provide assistance at calving or even increased dystocia rates.
4) The cows receiving a lower than targeted supplement intake may lose excessive condition. The weight loss may result in an animal ill equipped to deal with cold weather winter conditions.
5) These same animals may also experience reproductive problems as well, especially with rebreeding. Cattle with body conditions lower than about four have been shown to experience delayed rebreeding post calving.
6) In many cases, these timid animals may be the first calf heifers in the group if these animals are not kept separate. As such, these heifers will not receive sufficient nutrients to support calving, rebreeding and sustained growth during this period.
The troubling part of this picture to the producer is that he believes that he has an adequate nutrition problem and in general, he does. However, because of the variation in intakes he has animals in the group that are either over consuming or under consuming nutrients, either of which can be a significant problem.
So what are some possible solutions to this problem? Several things:
1) First make sure there is adequate bunk or trough space. In a situation such as this, there needs to be at least 18 to 24 inches of bunk space per head.
2) Locate the bunks in a trap that can be closed off while feed is put out. Once feed is in place, the traps can be opened for the cows to come in and have access to feed all at the same time.
3) Cattle should be grouped by age and production status (i.e. first calf heifers, older more mature cows, etc.). Keep in mind that as cattle are regrouped a pecking order will be re-established each time a new group is created.
4) Change to alternate means of supplementation which allows constant access to supplement. This includes a limited, self-fed supplement, liquid feeds, tubs or blocks. There are advantages to each of these as well as disadvantages. One of the greatest benefits is that these methods allow cattle to consume supplement whenever they want and instead of one large feeding each day where problems such as that described above may take place, individual animals can consume multiple feedings per day. This allows better access to all animals as well as stabilizes the nutrient flow into and through the digestive system. This is of significant benefit to ruminant animals.
Multiple Feeding Locations
One way that some producers choose to address the problem with nutrient variability is to provide multiple sources of supplementation. In other words, during the winter feeding season when hay is the primary dietary component for the cow herd, some producers may also provide a mineral supplement, liquid feed or tubs and may even provide a feed supplement from time to time. The argument here is that this is also an answer to the problem as described above. In other words, if they don't get what they need from one source they can get it from another.
The problem here is that cattle cannot balance their own diets. As humans we are considered reasonably intelligent and few of us can balance ours. By providing multiple feeding locations we create a situation where the amount of nutrient intake variability is even greater. Again, our goal is to limit this variability as much as possible.
A more optimal supplementation model is to provide all supplemental nutrients through one delivery system. Per the previous discussion this is also best served by using an intake limiting, self-fed supplement. The three most common sources include:
1) Dry Feed Supplements limited by salt or the more technologically advanced intake limiting systems used by a number of feed companies. Producer experience with these products has varied primarily in terms of actual intake control. Controlling supplemental feed intake in a mature cow is very challenging. Intake limitation using salt is extremely variable not terribly effective. Over time, most cattle can develop a tolerance for salt. In the more technical products, in many cases, to provide adequate intake control to large mature beef cows, the amount of limiting agent needed to accomplish the task may restrict the amount of actual nutrient that can be included or the product becomes cost prohibitive.
2) Liquid Feed Supplements. Target intakes for most liquids will fall in the range of one to three lbs. per head per day with an average intake of about two lbs. per head per day. This is variable in most cases as a direct relationship to the quality and quantity of the base dietary forage available. As hay quality decreases liquid consumption increases. Liquids can be a good source of protein or protein equivalent in the form of non-protein nitrogen (i.e. urea). Liquids are typically not a great source of energy except that in the form of the sugars found in these products. However, as the use of cane molasses decreases and the amount of the various liquid by-products increases, the typical sugar content of these products is diminishing. Other energy sources in liquids include added fat and products such as propylene glycol or glycerol. But in general the energy level from liquids is not significant. Liquids are also limited in terms of the mineral they can deliver. Unless suspension technologies are used (less common, more expensive), insoluble mineral nutrients such as calcium and magnesium cannot be included at adequate levels. Liquids can be a good source of phosphorus, trace minerals and vitamins.
3) Molasses based tubs or blocks. There are a number of different types of products that fall into this category. Of the three sources listed, tubs are, in general, the most expensive. They are, however, one of the most convenient and can provide the greatest level of intake control. Tubs are generally found in two forms, cooked or poured. Cooked tubs use a heat process for drying and hardening the freed material. This creates a very hard product where the intake is commonly limited to .25 to 1 lb. per head per day. Poured tubs utilize a chemical reaction in the feed mix which hardens the product. This tub is not as hard and allows for higher intake, around one to two lbs. per head per day or more. Another type of tub available is referred to as a pressed tub where pressure is applied to the material in the tub to compress and create a harder material. The physical characteristic would be somewhat similar to a pelleted or cubed feed products but in the much larger tub format. Again, this is a softer product and allows for a higher level of intake.
One thing that must be considered is that in certain situations the very low intake products may restrict intake too much. It is important to know what your base forage nutrient levels are so the proper product can be selected to best fit the forage base to which you have access.
A potential downside of many self-fed supplements is that certain additives and medications cannot be included due to regulatory issues. The supplier or manufacturer must be consulted in these situations.
Other options to help reduce intake variability
Other tools can be used to help standardize intake variation. One of the more common of these are the ionophores (Bovatec®, Rumensin®). Research has shown that both of these products, when fed at proper levels can help stabilize intake, especially in high grain feeding situations. On a breeding operation this can be most commonly used in heifer or bull developing programs where higher levels if actual feed are used.
Still other products that have been shown to stabilize intake are some of the microbial products such as yeasts, fungals and bacterial products. The key to using these products are identifying which products are proven to be viable and effective in a situation where they cannot be added at the time of feeding (as is necessary with some bacterial products). In other words, products that can be added at the point of manufacture and retain their viability for a period of time there after are preferable. Those microbials identified as fermentation products may actually be more effective in these applications. Products such as yeasts (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and fungals (Aspergillus oryzae) have been shown repeatedly to have a positive effect on rumen fermentation and can help stabilize intake patterns.
Intake control is not a concept many pasture cattle operators spend much time on (unfortunately). Taking steps to determine how much variation in nutrient intake your herd is exhibiting may answer questions concerning a lack of or certainly inconsistent performance. Take steps such as those outlined above can be helpful in addressing intake issues and improving overall herd performance.

The church has a frame of brick resting on a pedestal of granite. It consists of a nave with straight choir in the east.
The previous church on this site is of unknown design, possibly wooden. The oldest parts of the current church are of the nave and sacristy probably built in the early 1400's. In the late 1400's, the church was equipped with a new ceiling with brick arches and most likely the current porch.
In the early 1800's a number of alterations were made including additions on the southern wall as the church had begun to lean in that direction. To get the bricks for the modifications, the sacristy's ribbed vaults were sacrificed. Remains of the vaults can be seen in sacristy's four corners.

We've been noticing an uptick lately in customer requests for diamond-alternative gemstones that radiate eye-catching colors and sparkle. We've had a long-time love affair with many of the stones that are trending now. Here are five of our faves that are getting a lot of attention these days:
Peach Sapphire
Not all sapphires are blue. In fact, sapphires come in many colors, from champagne to pink to peach, purple, orange, and green, to completely colorless. Trace minerals are what give sapphires their range of hues. Our fave is the peach. With its subtle blush, from pale champagne to a fruity golden, peach is the rarest color for sapphires and is a great alternative to pink diamonds and morganite (which lacks the hardness and sparkle of a sapphire). View our collection of these beautiful sapphires.
White Sapphire
As we said above, trace minerals are what give sapphires their range of hues. White sapphires, on the other hand, are completely devoid of any trace elements, which is why they are quite rare in nature. They can be made in the lab, however, and are an excellent–and less expensive–alternative to diamonds. We feature a range of beautiful white sapphire wedding sets and eternity bands.
Oregon Sunstone
Found in southern Oregon, and so named for its warm shades of gold, orange, reds and browns, the sunstone projects an iridescence or spangly effect when looked at from different angles. These are caused by inclusions of minerals — typically red copper — in the stone's crystal layers. The more copper within the stone, the darker its hue. Check out some of our beautiful Oregon sunstone rings.
Like the emerald, the aquamarine is a color variant of the mineral beryl and is found in nature in the highest peaks of the Karakoram Mountains in Pakistan, according to our friends at the Gemological Institute of America. The name comes from the Latin word for seawater and is the birthstone of people born in March. The stone is also purported to elevate the happiness quotient in a marriage (and why wouldn't you be happier with this stone on your finger?). While less durable than a diamond or sapphire (it ranks 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, to the sapphire's 9, moissanite's 9.5, and the diamond's 10), it certainly rivals both in terms of its beauty, sparkle and unique color. See our beautiful Rosados Box collection of aquamarine engagement rings and wedding sets.
We just can't get enough of these gorgeous gemstones, made entirely in the lab and the number-one diamond alternative of choice for socially conscious consumers. Moissanite is a natural mineral, composed of silicon carbide, that offers a similar sparkle, hardness, and durability as a diamond but is less expensive. In fact, the Forever One Moissanites that we carry from makers Charles & Colvard shine brighter than a diamond! See our extensive Rosados Box moissanite rings.
Like all of our gemstones, we handpick each and every sunstone, sapphire, aquamarine, and moissanite that goes into our jewelry so that you can rest assured you're purchasing a top quality, conflict-free stone that reflects your love and values.

Sydney - Waratahs head coach Daryl Gibson has named an unchanged line-up to face the Brumbies in the final regular season match at Allianz Stadium on Saturday.
Kick-off is at 11:45 SA time.
Gibson says he felt it would be unfair to drop anyone after an impressive 77-25 win last weekend against the Sunwolves.
"Part of our strategy is to try and keep combinations together, and it's up to those players to really earn it through their performances. As a coaching team we feel that they are doing that and deserve their spots," Gibson said.
Gibson expects a typical Australian derby.
"For both sides there's real incentive there on the outcome of the game. The Brumbies need a bonus point win to have a chance to quality and for us the real carrot of knowing if you progress in this tournament of giving yourself the opportunity through having a home semi-final potentially."
When asked about a potential quarter-final opponent, Gibson said: "We haven't looked beyond this game. We know there's a lot riding on this fixture and we want to perform. The finals series will take care of itself and we will just wait and see who we get."

Another Baldessari video. Who knew that he oriented the paper (and wrote the lines) as if he was drawing? The full version runs 32 minutes, 21 seconds.

Magnum Stedejlik
EXHIBITION AT STEDELIJK MUSEUM, AMSTERDAM Opens Thursday 7th February, 5pm
Exhibition continues 8/2/08 – 12/5/08
This is the third exhibition about MAGNUM to be held at the Stedelijk. The first, in 1964, stressed the post-war humanist ethics propagated by the founder members and was based on the collection of photographs acquired by the museum since 1958. The second, in 1990, emphasised the vision of the individual photographers. This reflected the growing interest in auteurship at a time when the print media were increasingly losing ground to television. The present exhibition presents these individual views and relates them to current thinking about the visual presentation of history.

RedLegMeg said something in a recent post that grabbed my attention.
The media is now referring to what's going on in and around Baghdad as civil war. I remember JD comparing it to the Wild West back then and him being more than happy to get out of there when he did. Somehow, the Wild West sounds more palpable than a civil war. The insurgents are now experts at planting IED's and soldiers are being injured or killed by them nearly everyday.
Though RedLegMeg's post wasn't about the media, her mention of the media reminded me of the effect that media coverage can have, and often does have, on those of us on the homefront.
Some of us are glued to the news, others prefer to shut it off.
If there were one thing I would like to see more of, it would be media coverage of the good deeds and good works that are undertaken by our troops on a daily basis. I think that would be good for their morale, good for our morale and good for outsiders to see more of. The violence is real. We understand that our spouses are often placed in dangerous situations, but it would be a nice change of pace to read or listen to stories that leave us feeling proud rather than panicked.
I live in an area where there are more civilians than military personnel. Afghanistan and Iraq are mentioned in local media coverage, but they're rarely the dominant theme. When I was at Ft. Hood recently, I picked up the local papers. For the most part, they were saturated with war coverage. I imagine that when you live in the immediate vicinity of a military installation, the coverage is very thorough, understandably so. Is this a good thing or a bad thing for those of you who live on or near a military installation?
Media coverage with respect to war can certainly be a double-edged sword. How does media coverage affect you? Do you tune in, or turn off, and why?

In the absence of an overall plan, the Bourbon reforms in the Kingdom of Naples primarily affected the widespread Franciscan community, which made up more than 28 per cent of the entire male regular clergy in the realm. Various other suppressive measures were adopted after 1783 as part of the reconstruction of those areas following the terrible earthquake which had devastated Calabria and as a result of other more general political and socioeconomic trends in southern Italy. In the end, the population of regular male clergy in the Mezzogiorno declined from about 30,000 individuals in 1765-66 to about 17,000 in 1801, a 44 per cent drop in thirty-five years. But Bourbon reformism was more hesitant with regard to the female orders. Between 1766 and 1787 the monastic population of this sector fell by only 16 per cent -from 22,828 to 18,777. The numbers of women religious would remain at approximately this level until the French occupation of the kingdom in 1801.

I have been working since I was 16. Half my life has been spent going to a job, coming home from a job, getting fired from a job (my first ... oopsie!), looking for a new job and simultaneously loving and cursing said job.
The one thing that has always made going to work worthwhile were the coworkers. The actual work has been interesting at times, but not half as entertaining as the people I work with. When I look at my collection of friends, a lot of them have come from previous employers and I wouldn't trade any of them for the world. No matter how hard they try and get rid of me. I can find the fun peeps anywhere, even at this job
Today I was scouting recipes, instead of calculating the host of acronyms I should have been calculating, and I came across a spring vegetable soup recipe with goat cheese croutons that I had just started to print out when I got distracted by a rubber band that went whizzing by my head. This wasn't just any rubber band. This was industrial strength--large, wide and with enough force to literally blow a section of my hair up off my head.
"Sorry!" J & L shouted. So Ems, looking for distraction as much as I was, and I sauntered over and pulled up two feet of the remaining desk space in J's cube. We promptly started discussing the following:
- Ins and outs of fanny pack wearing and how much you'd have to get paid to wear one for a year. The price tag was a reasonable $10,000.
- The baby shower extravaganza this weekend where we were promised no games. And by "no games" they meant melting chocolate bars into diapers and passing them around to see who could guess what kind of candy bars were inside. Related question: Was the peanut filled candy bar really necessary?
- The unanimous decision that the best part of the shower was when this chick's husband thought that the string he cut for the game "guess the size of new mommy's belly by cutting a string and then measuring it to see how close you are!" was really to see how big her boobs had gotten. I love having guys at baby showers. (And future husband? If you're reading? First of all, hi. You're super cute. And if we ever have kids ... do you want kids by the way? Anyway, if we have them, you're coming to the shower. It's going to be held in a box at a baseball game and there will be NO games except for the one being played on the field.)
- J announced to the group that my bracelet was "the fucking ugliest bracelet he had ever seen in his entire life." (It so isn't.)
- The multitude of broken bones we've all had. (I so won).
We all eventually sauntered back to our desks and I waited to smile until I sat down. There is no way these guys are going to know that I actually LIKE them. I fully maintain my cover that I merely TOLERATE them. But then K sent out an e-mail that read:
Subject: Buds
"I really like jawing with you guys. I consider you good friends. But if you want to think of me as a casual acquaintance, that's okay too."
And NO way in hell I'll ever admit that brought a tear to my eye, but it so did.

1. Marie Antoinette (2006)
Rating: 8/10 ★★★★★★★★☆☆As a kid, I had this strange fascination with princesses and royal figures of past times. Perhaps I was a dark kid, because Marie Antoinette and the guillotine were my favorite. Coincidentally, around the time I began this obsession, the 2006 film "Marie Antoinette" staring Kristen Dunst had just been released. Now, being of the age I was, I didn't see this film due to the sex (which didn't really happen a lot in this movie, I just knew I couldn't watch PG-13 movies at that age so I didn't see it) as well as the mature themes. No third grader would understand this plot or history.
|Living the dream.
Definitely my favorite song from the film:
2. Welcome to the Dollhouse (1995)
Rating: 8/10 ★★★★★★★★☆☆
The ultimate outcast film, Welcome to the Dollhouse is the story of Dawn Wieners, (and yes, she is played by Anne Hathway's best friend in The Princess Diaries) a shy and unpopular seventh grader battling her days through middle school. Dawn doesn't have any friends except for 5th grader Ralphy, with whom she shares a homemade clubhouse in her backyard. She is constantly surrounded by nuisances, like her nerdy older brother Mark or her spoiled ballerina younger sister Missy. Dawn's parents hardly pay attention to her, much like anyone else. She is the constant butt of every joke, the victim to every locker vandalism, and the cruel turnout to a deranged suburban life.
|Ah, Dawn Wieners, my spirit animal.
3. Groupie Girl (1970)
Rating: 7/10 ★★★★★★★☆☆☆
|The opening credits are on a psychedelic-painted tour bus, with groovy cheesy music playing in the background. You can already tell its a good movie!
I'm going to start this off by saying Groupie Girl is not for everyone. It had nudity and sex, so it's not for those of you who aren't into films with that. It's also from 1970, so for those of you who don't like cliche 70's terms and vintage underground bands. I personally liked this film a lot, but that's only because I love the 70's and the groupie scene quite a lot.
|The only thing that sucks about this movie is the band members Sally hooks up with aren't even cute! There's even a flamboyant Mick Jagger character, but he definitely isn't close to the real thing.
|The ending to this movie makes you rethink your entire decisions about being a band member fangirl.
4. But I'm a Cheerleader (1999)
Rating: 9/10 ★★★★★★★★★☆
But I'm a Cheerleader is about Megan Bloomfield, an apparently happy heterosexual high school cheerleader. However, her friends and family are convinced that she is a homosexual (Because she becomes a vegetarian, of all reasons) and arrange an intervention, sending her to a residential inpatient conversion therapy camp to cure her lesbianism. There Megan soon realizes that she is indeed a lesbian and, despite the therapy, gradually comes to embrace her sexual orientation, while falling for one of the fellow patients.
|Just look at the house Megan has to stay in! Filled with the ultimate feminine stereotype of exaggeration and pinks.
|This film is filled with cheesy qualities, but all on purpose. One of my favorites is the vibrant "true directions" cake.

Crash Sidelines Doohan. But the GP Star Will Return.
Five-time world champion Michael Doohan was badly injured while qualifying for the Spanish 500cc Gran Prix. Apparently the 33-year-old Australian was thrown from his Repsol Honda on a quick left-hand turn while traveling in excess of 100mph. Reports varied as to the exact cause of the crash, but the track was still damp from a morning rain. A spokesman for the Repsol team, Jose Aznar, said that Doohan had broken his left wrist, right knee, and left collar bone and is expected to be out for at least three months. The right knee was the same one he broke in the Dutch Gran Prix of 1992, costing him the championship that year.
After being stabilized in Seville, Spain, Doohan was transported to California for surgery. He was operated on by several trauma experts in a 3.5 hour procedure and now has a variety of hardware in his arm and leg holding him together. The doctors are confident that Doohan will be back on the track within three months. Doohan has stated that this will not end his racing career. "I'm definitely not retiring. I realize that I can't race forever, but I don't want to leave gran prix racing riding in the back of an ambulance." About the crash he said, "I was probably doing close to 200kph at the time. The bike wobbled and I was flipped off into a barrier."
This most likely will mean the end of Doohan's hope for the championship this year. Before the crash he was trailing Kenny Roberts Jr. in the point standings. Doohan's Repsol team mate, Alex Criville, went on after the crash to take the pole for the race and then won the race for the third straight year.
Buell Announces Voluntary Recall of 1994-1999 Models.
Buell Motorcycles, now a division of Harley-Davidson, has announced a voluntary recall of 18,637 motorcycles built between 1994 and 1999. According to a company spokesman, Buell/H-D became aware of the problems after reviewing information on the warranty work that was being performed and they were not aware of any injuries resulting from the defects. The recall is part of a quality control initiative within Buell that was started after H-D acquired full control of Buell in the fall of 1998. Five million dollars have been set aside to pay for the repairs. Buell doesn't expect this to affect their current production goals for 1999 of 8000 bikes. H-D stock suffered slightly after the news and it is far to soon to see what impact this may have Buell's sales figures.
The following is a list of the affected models and components: Front motor mount System in all 1997-1998 models. Negative battery cable in 1996-1998 S1 Lightning and 1998 White Lighting models. Rear brake line in 1999 X1 Lightning models. Side stand switch in all 1996-1999 models, except S2 and S2 Thunderbolt models. Fuel tank retention system in all 1995-1999 models, except X1 Lightning models. Fuel tank vent in all 1995- 1999 models. Swing arm in all 1995-1999 models. Shock eye in all 1995-1999 models.
Owners of the bikes qualifying are being contacted by mail. If you own one of the listed Buells and are not notified by mail of the recall contact your local Buell dealer.
Helmet Law Violates Religious Rights?
The mandatory helmet law of British Columbia, Canada has recently been challenged on religious grounds. The B.C. Human Rights tribunal ruled in May that the helmet law violates the right of a baptized Sikh to wear a turban.
The issue arose in 1995 when Vancouver resident, Avtar Dhillon, complained of being refused a motorcycle license test because he is a baptized Sikh and therefore can't remove his turban to wear a helmet. Now the provincial government must decide how it will proceed, but in the end they have only two options, appeal the tribunal's decision or change the Motor Vehicle Code. Dhillon and Sikh community leaders were obviously very pleased with the decision of the tribunal.
Ford's Hopper Ad is in Hot Water in Denmark.
A Danish environmental lobby group feels that the "Born to be Wild" campaign for Ford's new Cougar is irresponsible because it encourages middle aged people to drive too fast. The newspaper and television ads feature actor Dennis Hopper driving a Cougar side-by-side with a younger self on a Harley-Davidson ala Easy Rider.
"We don't think that Ford's unveiled call on middle-aged drivers to relive the youthful rush of adrenaline is an expression of decent marketing in light of the many traffic deaths and injuries caused by excessive speed and wild driving" Said NOAH, a Danish wing of the Friends of the Earth International.
Ford has not heard any other such complaints of people being unable to control their driving habits nor has the ad agency that created the campaign. The quote from NOAH sounds suspiciously like something my mother would say. Mom, leave those nice Dutch people alone.
Hell's Angels On Screen. Sonny Barger's Tale.
The Hell's Angels are headed for Hollywood once again. This with the announcement that director Tony Scott, best known for directing "Enemy of the State", has signed on to develop and direct a new film on the Hell's Angels. The movie will be based on the unpublished autobiography of Ralph "Sonny" Barger. For those unfamiliar with Barger, he was the out spoken and infamous president of the Oakland chapter of the Angels during the 1960s. His leadership of such a vilified group as the Angels made Barger a symbol of the counter-culture of the era and also made him a lightning rod for controversy.
Producers for the movie include Fritz Clapp, the long time attorney for both the Angels and Barger. "Sonny's life story is essentially the story of the club," said Clapp. "Through his personal charisma and leadership, the Oakland chapter became the mother chapter in the late '50s and early '60s for the club, which has expanded to 100 chapters in 13 countries." The script is currently being shopped around to different studios.
Ragnar's Ride Implicated in Pre-game Assault.
On a local front a reporter from the Star-Tribune is suing former Fox Sports broadcaster Jerry Glanville and Fox Sports Inc. Paul Levy claims he suffered arm and shoulder injuries when Glanville hit him while riding a motorcycle at the November 8 Vikings game in the Metrodome.
According to the suit filed in Hennepin County District Court Glanville borrowed the bike from Ragnar, the Viking's mascot, 40 minutes before the game. While riding along the sideline Glanville hit Levy in the arm with the motorcycle's handlebar. Then later in the broadcast of the game the incident was replayed on national television. During the replay Glanville said, "What I did was ran into a sportswriter. I've been trying to kill one of those guys for years." There is no word on what sort of damages are being sought by Levy since all parties involved have declined to comment thus far.
New Financial News from Excelsior-Henderson.
In spite of gloomy predictions from Wall Street analysts Excelsior-Henderson has emerged from their first quarter of production posting losses less than expected. Revenues for the bikes built so far kept the total loss for that period to 7.7 million dollars. This has positioned them well for the coming year as production increases to the level of full production.
"We now look forward to the balance of 1999 during which we transition from a 'development stage' company to an operating company." Stated Co-Founders Dave, Dan, and Jennie Hanlon. "Production is increasing on a planned, steady pace and the motorcycle is being well received by the motorcycle community, and we are happy to welcome our new customers to the Excelsior-Henderson family."

Isn't she Gorgeous? (Picture)?
isn't she gorgeous?
i just found that pic and was like wowww.
i think she was in the miss universe competition representing india. i'm not sure though. i read somewhere that she placed like in the top ten. i definitely saw the competition and she's more beautiful than the girls who won.
its easy for people to assume a girl that beautiful is stuck up, but i doubt it. in the article i read she is working on charity work worldwide. and yea she needs a clothing update, or maybe she just has a bohemian or conservative look.
i think thats another one of her
if you don't think she's pretty, STATE WHY.

YES, I've seen her pictures before and she is definitely beautiful/gorgeous. I think the guys that said she wasn't are just upset that they will never have a girl that looks so great, and the girls who don't like her are immature and jealous because they feel they will never look so good. The girls, like you, that admit she looks good are showing their maturity and already feel good about themselves.

The first time Sue Lane, 47, made a cake was for her daughter's second birthday. It was a clown cake, and although the cakes Sue produces now are of a much higher standard, Chris loved it. Chris is now 22 and a graduate, and her sister Sophie is at university. Their independence has given Sue the time and financial freedom to make her cake decorating a business, but she is still having doubts.
"When the kids were younger I had to work to be able to provide for them. Now they are big enough and ugly enough to look after themselves. Now, financially, it's a case of 'can I actually afford to work part time and do this?'"
The cost of setting up her own business is a major hurdle. Currently, Sue makes cakes for friends and family but only charges for ingredients. This is something she started doing recently, as her hobby was costing her a small fortune.
"The biggest factor that has deterred me up til now is probably the cost of setting it all up. I probably still lack the capital to set up a business. I don't want to borrow money so I will probably wait til I can afford to do it myself. I mostly advertise through word of mouth at the moment, so at least I can still do that."
The complexity of setting up a small cake business from home is also a drawback: "I've got my hygiene certificate, but then you have to get insurance, you need to have environmental health inspect the kitchen and I would probably have to get business insurance on the car. I think you might have to get business insurance on the house as well."
Yet interest in starting cake businesses has boomed since the advent of shows like the Great British Bake Off revived interest in baking. Simply Business, the UK's largest insurance broker, received quote requests from 2,139 new cake-making businesses in 2011, up by 54 per cent on the previous year and 325 per cent on 2009. 91 per cent of those contacting Simply Business about starting a cake-making business were women. For many, it seems that turning a baking hobby into a job represents the perfect solution to balancing childcare and work, and the word 'mumpreneur' is being bandied around the internet forums and chatrooms. There is even now a support network for mums in business in the form of www.mumpreneuruk.com.
Type 'set up cake business from home' into Google and you're bombarded with pages from the likes of eHow and wikiHow, and threads on forums such as Netmums. But read carefully and a trend emerges: many prospective cakepreneurs abandon their plans when they realise how much work is involved in setting up a business, obtaining the necessary hygiene certificates and business licenses and insuring your home.
For many, the issue is finding the capital to start up a business from home. Robin Campbell, 32, was made redundant from her job in the city in 2008, and immediately set up Cakes by Robin. She was able to use her redundancy package to buy a mixer and about £1000 worth of ingredients, but admits that she may have struggled without that capital:
"Having worked in a bank I was perfectly aware that if I asked for a loan a bank would turn me down. Without my redundancy package I would have had much more of an issue with paying my mortgage because when I started up I didn't have any customers."
A 2012 report by the Open University confirmed that financial support is still a problem for small-to-medium enterprises across the board. One respondent said: "the main requirement is access to funds and no amount of advice will open that door if the economic climate is not ripe." Another said: "banks will not lend even when there is ample equity in assets to borrow against".
Competition is also a worry for many bakers and cake decorators. It's hard to walk down a busy high street in the south of England without seeing a shop that sells cupcakes and makes designer cakes to order, indicating that as far as custom made cakes go, the market may be reaching saturation point. Chris Cooper, 38, of the National Business Register agrees that competition is fierce:
"Those kind of businesses seem to be very popular at the moment. I think it's certainly becoming more competitive, because it's getting more and more difficult for people who are setting up cake businesses to submit a name that is completely unique. Many of the good names are gone."
Sue is relying on the individuality of her cakes being a key selling point: "There are so many people doing it at the moment, but I tend to concentrate on carving cake, and a lot of people don't do that – they use cake cutters. I tend to think that each of my cakes is totally individual, so that no one else would make them. A bit like edible art."
Sue also worries that turning her hobby into a job may take the enjoyment out of it, and Robin admits that she no longer bakes for pleasure: "I have got a team of people in the shop and I don't do much decorating myself, I run the business side instead. So in some way it did take away the enjoyment, because there's a big difference between when you make a batch of cupcakes for fun and when you do it as a job. I definitely never bake at home now."
Despite her misgivings, Sue is still keen to pursue her dream of owning her own cake business. She says: "I have spent so much of my life not doing stuff that I don't want to miss out on doing this."
I would like to thank Sue Lane, @cobhamcakes and Robin Campbell, www.londoncake.co.uk for their help with this feature.

Choosing To Vibe With Your Tribe
Friends can become family, and family can become friends. Both can happen, but sadly family becoming friends sometimes never happens. There is no guarantee that being born into family will mean that the closest relationships that you will have will be with your siblings, or extended family. On the contrary, I receive many heartbreaking calls from clients who have persistently struggled trying to develop a relationship with their siblings, to no avail.
As a psychic, I can independently look at the energy of people's family connections, and sometimes they were never meant to be close-knit, or best friends. In these cases, their personalities and the way they operate are often completely different. Attempts to create a relationship over the years may have miserable failed, and there is always one, or both, in that relationship who prefers to go to hurt and pain, rather than stepping back and looking objectively at the ways they separately think and operate.
Reunited With Crochet Friend In Spirit
I like to frequent a well-known, local bookstore. It is my way of having peaceful fellowship indirectly with others. I don't have to talk to anyone, but the feeling of others around while I'm reading is a pleasant feeling. I always sit on the same chair, which is almost like a comfy love seat with others sitting nearby.
One day, while sitting there and reading, I noticed in my peripheral vision a lady to my left. She sat down on the sofa next to me.
She then looked at me and said, "I'm so sorry I didn't want to disturb you, but I think you may have known my grandmother. She attended the same church you went to."
I asked her which church she was speaking of and then confirmed that I had indeed gone there for a few years, but no longer attend. Continue reading

Full depicts the life of a student constantly haunted by the thoughts of school work. It reflects the emotional struggle of students, having to be force-fed information on a daily basis. Often, students find themselves too busy, even forgetting to eat as they feel mentally 'full' from studying. Dumplings, shaped like ingots, represent how education brings wealth. They also reflect a highly competitive society that drives students to be academically focused so as to be successful later in life.

IIP update will be late5 min read . Updated: 05 Dec 2007, 12:41 AM IST
IIP update will be late
IIP update will be late
India's industry may have grown by 9.2% in the six months to September, but efforts to make this measure representative of industrial activity in the country have gone nowhere—two months after the country's ministry of statistics announced the launch of an updated Index of Industrial Production, or IIP, there is no sign of the update, and government officials said it could be available only by March.
IIP measures industrial growth—the government publishes this data every month—but India badly needs a new measure. The current index measures growth using 1993-94 as a base: IIP for that year was taken as 100, and growth of various industries, depending on the weightage assigned to them, was added on to this every year. The Septmber value of IIP was 259.1.
INDEXING TROUBLE (Graphic)
The problem with this, said government officials who do not wish to be identified, is that it does not account for the emergence of new sectors. And it includes or assigns high weightages to industry sectors that are either no longer relevant or are not as important as they once were.
The officials said that because of these factors, IIP might be underestimating actual industrial growth.
For instance, typewriters have a higher weight of 0.2843 in the IIP than window air conditioners, which have only 0.1268. Over the past 14 years, production and sales of typewriters have declined to almost nothing, while those of air conditioners have soared.
A government official, who did not wish to be identified, said the delay was because the industry ministry is yet to finalize the data collection mechanism for the new data that will be required for the index.
Fifteen source agencies, including various ministries, are required to furnish data to CSO within four-five weeks from the reference month.
Assuming the data is made available to CSO in January, the index, which is published with a six-week lag, will be available in mid-March, the official said.
"If we get an assurance about the data collection today, we can roll out the new IIP next month," said India's chief statistician and secretary in the ministry of statistics and programme implementation, Pronab Sen.
An official in the industry ministry said IIP was "the CSO's baby and we are just data providers." He declined to provide any information on the data collection and said, "all that is confidential."
The index itself needs to be approved by the National Statistical Commission chaired by Suresh Tendulkar.
The new IIP will involve much more effort on the part of the sourcing agencies, such as the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (Dipp), the industry ministry body responsible for the data collection, and various other ministries such as textiles, steel and mines, and fertilizers, as data has to be procured from more establishments, almost double the number as compared with the current IIP.
Dipp had contracted the work to the Centre for Monitoring the Indian Economy (CMIE), a company that collates and mines macroeconomic and microeconomic data, in 2002. According to the CSO official, the contract ends this year.
Mahesh Vyas, managing director and CEO of CMIE, declined comment.
The IIP was last revised in May 1998, when the base year of 1980-81 was changed to 1993-94 and the number of industry sectors covered increased to 287.
"Everything takes time in government," said Saumitra Chaudhuri, economic adviser, Icra Ltd, a credit rating firm. "Nobody, be it the CSO or Dipp, is immune to delays. Even the updating of the wholesale price index, which still has a base of 1993-94, has been badly delayed."
Sen is keen to release the revised IIP as some consumer products companies have questioned the data, saying that it does not reflect ground reality. Consumer electronics firm Samsung Electronics India Pvt. Ltd said last month that even though it recorded double digit growth in sales in September, IIP data showed a 7.6% decline in production over the same month in 2006.
Suresh Khanna, secretary general, the Consumer Electronic and Appliances Manufacturers Association (Ceama), an industry body, said that "due weight is not given to this sector and its sharply increased production in recent years". He added that there is no accounting of production of new items such as LCD or plasma television sets and microwave ovens. Instead, Khanna says, the IIP still gives undue weight to items that have gone out of usage such as video cassette recorders and black and white television sets.
While acknowledging that old products have been used in the existing computations, Sen says the new index will be more representative. He also said the sharp drop in the consumer durables sector this year was partly because Diwali, when sales of such products typically peak, came in November this year. Last year, it came in October. Many people buy products such as television sets in the run-up to this festival when companies offer discounts or have other promotions going on.
Still, the data is not representative, say experts.
"There are problems of under-representation in some sectors such as transport, durables and automobiles, sectors that have grown considerably in the past 10 years. As a result, the data may be unduly highlighting the decline or the growth in these sectors," said Chaudhuri.
For instance, because production of typewriters or B&W TV receivers has ceased or reduced, the high weightage given to these sectors in calculating the IIP would result in a sharp drop in the index, said the CSO official. And, the index would not reflect the boom in the production of microwave ovens, personal computers and laptops, or plasma TV sets in recent times because they were either not being produced in 1993-94 or produced in very few quantities.
Sen and Chaudhuri said this "under-reporting" would not affect the general direction of IIP. The CSO official pointed to another problem: companies not filing their production data in time. "If we go to court against an establishment, the case is likely to be settled after 10 years, with a fine of Rs500... the gaps in data will continue," the official added.
In June, the modified Collection of Statistics Act that provides for stiff penalties for entities that don't comply with reporting norms, was passed, but this may be of limited use, the official said.
The new IIP has 25 sectors from the old basket because of "unreliability of data". However, this decision, too, has to be approved by Tendulkar.

Pool Water and Hot Tub Water Are Different
Some pool owners believe that their hot tub is just a tiny version of their main swimming pool. This is simply not the case. The purpose of a hot tub is very different than that of a swimming pool.

Temperature Variations The biggest and most obvious difference between hot tub water and swimming pool water is the temperature.

Your Tarot Reading Guide
Tarot reading is a mystical and powerful art that has been practiced for thousands of years to tell fortunes, provide psychic readings, and to peer into the past, present, and future.
If you've ever been interested in learning more about the tarot and the art of tarot reading, then you've come to the right place. We'll take a look at the history of the tarot and help you understand how each of the cards are organized so that you can better interpret your next tarot reading.
A Brief History of The Tarot
No one knows for certain where or when the tarot was created; some say the practice goes all the way back to ancient Egypt. What we do know, though, is that tarot reading gained notoriety sometime around the 18th century. Tarot has remained a popular mystical practice to this day.
When to Do a Tarot Reading
The tarot can be used for many different purposes. The archetypal images on the cards reflect your story back to you, helping you to better understand a specific moment in time, and your greater journey through life. Those same images make good meditation companions or can provide you with a 'thought for the day.' There is no limit to how these images can be used.
Of course, before you can really immerse yourself in the tarot, you have to know a few basics.
The divisions within the tarot may seem complicated at first, especially because each card provides context for the others in a spread; but once you recognize the underlying organization of the cards, you too can master the mysteries of the tarot.
A Review of the TarotThe 78 tarot cards are divided into 2 main sections—the major arcana and minor arcana— and further into 4 suits:
Before a tarot reading, the cards are usually arranged in a spread. A tarot spread is the pattern in which the cards are placed to be interpreted by a tarot card reader. There are many different types of tarot spreads—entire books have even been written on the subject.
Spreads can be as simple as a 1-card draw or complex enough to require all 78 cards.
One of the most popular spreads is called the 3-card spread, which gives you answers to immediate questions about your relationships, career, and life in general. The cards represent a possible past, present, and future.
The Major Arcana (Tarot Trump Cards)
The major arcana (trump cards) represent your journey through life, starting out as the innocent and carefree card representing The Fool (at number 0), and going through all your stages of life until you get to The World (at number 21). Each of the trump cards represents an important issue in your life and asks that you pay particular attention to this situation.
As you get to know the Major Arcana, you'll see that the first 11 cards represent your journey out into the world while the last 11 represent your journey into your own awareness.
The Minor Arcana
The minor arcana is a grouping of 56 tarot cards that acts as a support system for the major arcana. It's divided into 4 suits, much like playing cards, and each suit has 10 numbered cards and 4 court cards. Traditionally, these court cards are called page, knight, queen, and king.
Some decks may use different titles for these figures but their meanings and their positions in the hierarchy of the court cards remain the same. Each suit of the minor arcana corresponds with a specific area of life, and each card has a meaning within that area. The number 1 is the first in a sequence (representing beginnings).
The numbered minor cards may have images on them, or they may just have 'pips' on them like playing cards, depending on the deck you're using.
Meaning of the Tarot
The guidance provided by tarot readings has stood the test of time. As with any tool, the tarot needs to be used responsibly. The cards themselves are not good or evil—it's how you use them that creates a positive or negative experience.
After all, the tarot is just a collection of images; they have no power on their own. It's their mystery and ability to help you better understand yourself that allows them to endure.
Tarot Reading and the Zodiac
Both the tarot and the zodiac exist in the mystical realm, and while they are distinct art forms, they overlap. Tarot readings and the zodiac complement each other.
For example, each suit of the minor arcana is also associated with specific signs of the zodiac.
Wands (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)
A tarot reading can help you better understand your daily horoscope and vice versa. Each offers more clarity and context to the insight offered by the other.
Want to see for yourself? Once you receive your 3-card tarot reading, take a look at your daily horoscope to see what these two powerful tools will reveal for you!
