Women's Health
Discover everything you need to know about women's nutrition in this section devoted solely to woman's issues. Topics covered include weight gain during menopause, and tips on how to detect and avoid breast cancer.
Good news! You're pregnant! These words warm the hearts of thousands of new mothers to be every day. After the initial elation has subdued, the serious work of being a pregnant women begins. Often, one of the first questions that women ask their doctors is whether or not it is safe to exercise pregnant. The answer to this important question varies from woman to woman.
In order to safely exercise pregnant, it is important to consider two key aspects of any exercise plan – safety and diet. Careful consideration of these concepts can help to produce a happier, and healthier, pregnancy.
Before we begin our discussion of the benefits of exercise for pregnant women, it is important to stress that any exercise plan should be approved by your doctor. It is not safe to exercise pregnant without first consulting a medical expert.
Healthy Mommy, Healthy Baby
The benefits of exercising while pregnant are many. Women who exercise pregnant often experience fewer case of constipation, as exercise keeps the intestines functioning properly. It can also help relieve back pain by strengthening the muscles that support the extra weight of your baby.
There are, however, some less apparent benefits for women who exercise pregnant. It's actually relatively simple; a healthy body that is used to exercise will perform better when physically challenged than one that is not. Giving birth is one of the great challenges of womanhood, and women who exercise pregnant are ahead of the game.
In addition to your body being more physically prepared for the daunting task of giving birth, exercising while pregnant also helps mothers to maintain their self-esteem. Often, pregnancy has a nasty way of turning beautiful, radiant, skin into something less ideal. In women who exercise pregnant, blood flow to the skin is increased, naturally providing the necessary nutrients to keep it healthy and glowing.
Strive for 30 minutes of low-impact exercise per day. It is a good rule of thumb to keep your heart rate below 140 beats per minute.
Eating Healthy for Two
Pregnant women need to watch their diet more than anyone else. The reasons for this should not be surprising. Both mother and baby need the right nutrients to develop properly.
Think about is this way: if an athlete must eat healthy foods to maintain his or her body's ability to perform a required exercise, so too does a mother. Except, in the case of mothers to be, they're not just eating properly in order to exercise, they're eating properly to exercise pregnant. This difference here should be obvious.
You've just given birth to a healthy baby boy or girl. All of the hard work, especially exercising while pregnant, has paid off. Everything is right with the world as you marvel at the miracle of new life. Everything except… your weight.
All new mothers struggle with the same difficult task, losing their baby weight. The solution to this dilemma is not nearly as complex as many women make it out to be. Diet and exercise are just as important now as they were during pregnancy. With a little effort, your baby weight can vanish.
When you exercise pregnant, it is recommended that you tone down your workouts to ensure safety. Not anymore! You can up the intensity of your workouts to shed your baby weight faster. Combine your workouts with a healthy diet, and you're on your way to a slimmer you!

Just a little background: KOTC 10- Critical Mass took place in 2001 and featured a one-night, eight-man heavyweight tournament as well as several regular bouts (Most notably Duane Ludwig vs. Krazy Horse). The tournament utilized one seven-minute round per fight, allowed for grounded knees, and gave virtually no leeway in terms of inaction on the ground. Once you hit the floor, you had to follow the ABC rules: Always Be Coldcocking. If you weren't ground-and-pounding or going for submissions, you would get stood up even if you had mount.
Here are the players:
Fred Floyd– A 380 lbs PKA kickboxer and "Budokan Kung-Fu" stylist. He was an oldschool NHB fighter who suffered a memorable beating at the hands of I.G.O.R. back in the day. He did have a notable victory against WCW jobber Jerry Flynn, however, and might've appeared on an old Seinfeld episode as a bouncer. He's easily the fattest man in the tournament.
Wade Shipp– A young Lions Den fighter with a shaved head and goatee. He's making his debut here.
Kauai Kupihea– This dude looks like Pedro Rizzo with the body of Cain Velasquez. He has a fair bit of experience, coming into the tournament on a loss dealt to him by Bobby Hoffman in a title fight at KOTC 9. He claims to be a Muay Thai/BJJ fighter, but it quickly becomes obvious his forte is wrestling. Sneaky bastard.
Josh Dempsey– Jack Dempsey's grandson, a former professional boxer with a 19-4-0 record. He's apparently a former state champion wrestler and trained with the likes of Mark Kerr, Rigan Machado, and the McCully brothers (Sean and Justin). The only credential he lacks is having cybernetic limbs. Despite this tournament being his debut, he's one of the favorites.
Giant Ochiai– A flabby Japanese guy with an afro. He's a Judoka and pro wrestler managed by Masaaki Satake. He previously fought in Pride 10 and lost to Ricco Rodriguez by smother.
Zane Frazier– A Kenpo stylist who almost died in UFC 1 and later almost killed a man in UFC 9. He once beat up Frank Dux in a hotel lobby, and claims that he's banned from training BJJ by the Brazilians. He's 38, asthmatic, and 1-8-0 coming in, but is VERY buff on this particular night.
Eric Kleper- At 6'7″, he's the tallest man in the tourney. He claims a boxing/kickboxing background, and is the heavyweight champion for Mark Hall's Cobra Fighting Federation (Remember Mark Hall? I do). His shorts have a smiley face on the crotch.
Mike Bourke– Normally a fatty who fights with his shirt on, but for this tournament he's yolked himself up and looks like a powerlifter. His background is two seasons of highschool wrestling. Beyond that, he trains once a week in Judo with some guy named Mollen Kramer (Yeah… Only once a week). He's a KOTC perennial, being their open weight champion, and also fought in Pride 11 where he was double-armbarred by Alexander Otsuka (Just to note: KOTC had pretty close ties with Pride back in the day and a lot of fighters express a desire to fight there). He has an unfinished Tasmanian Devil tattoo on his shoulder.
Keith Richardson– The alternate who fought in a dark match. He's a pear-shaped dude who sports a matching black singlet and t-shirt. His style is "Vale Judo."
Fight 1: Fred Floyd vs. Wade Shipp
After a brief stand-up exchange, Floyd makes a sort of awkward lunge and ends up on his back and mounted. Shipp lands a few big punches before submitting him with an armbar less than thirty seconds in. Floyd never fought again.
Fight 2: Kauai Kupihea vs. Josh Dempsey
A brutal and exhausting back-and-forth ground battle. The gist of the fight is that Kupihea would score a takedown and the two would then take turns being on top and pounding each other. It wasn't a technical masterpiece, but it wasn't a sloppy shitfest either. Kuiphea hit some nice switches and landed a few big grounded knees. Dempsey's grappling training shone through and he had Kupihea turtled up at several points. After seven minutes, Kupihea would end up getting the split decision based mostly on his takedowns a grounded knees. Dempsey only had one other MMA fight, a victory over Cyrille Diabate.
Fight 3: Giant Ochiai vs. Zane Frazier
Right off the bat it becomes apparent that Frazier is substantially faster, more powerful, and more technical than his Japanese opponent. Despite having "Giant" in his name, he's three inches shorter than Frazier and forty pounds lighter (As a matter of fact, he's one of the smallest guys in the tourney). Ochiai can offer little in the way of offense for most of the fight, as Frazier effortlessly shrugs off his takedown attempts and picks him apart with strikes. The announcers compare the one-sided affair to Gary Goodridge vs. Osamu Kawahara (Where Goodridge uppercutted the shit out of him).
After a while, however, Frazier's asthma, age, and heavily muscled physique conspire against him and he gases hard. He takes mount at one point but is too exhausted to do anything, an the two are stood up. With about a minute left, Ochiai hoists Frazier up in the air and drops him to the ground (The impact is mitigated by Frazier's fence-holding). The rest of the fight would see Ochiai just wailing on his American opponent. If he had only managed to do that a little earlier, he could've gotten the stoppage. In the end, however, it went to decision and Frazier's hand was raised.
Judging from this fight, it seems that Frazier's record doesn't do him justice. He had an impressive amount of talent and ability, but was hindered by a severe physical limitation. After pulling out of the tournament due to exhaustion he would go on to fight well into his forties, only scoring two more victories (To his credit, he at least won the title of some Z-level promotion). Ochiai would go on to rack up a string of three victories in Pride, but would tragically die in 2003 while training. In life, he looked like a chubby Weird Al Yankovic and was awesome.
Fight 4: Mike Bourke vs. Eric Kleper
Bourke's primary mode of attack is charging forward face first with no clear idea of what to do after that. We'll call this the Rhino Charge, being that his nickname is in fact "The Rhino." Anyway, Bourke Rhino Charges Kleper into the fence, who responds by spazzing back with straight punches. Kleper attempts a flying guillotine, but Bourke pops out of it and goes ape-shit with ground-and-pound until Kleper taps out.
The two would meet again a few months later in Gladiator Challenge, both in substantially worse shape than in this tournament. Bourke KO'd him after four minutes of inaction.
Fight 5: Wade Shipp vs. Kauai Kupihea
I'm impressed Kupihea is even coming out after his tough fight in round one. Shipp comes out aggressive clonking him with some good strikes standing up. He's sharper than Kupihea. Kupihea gets it to the ground at various points, but it's still pretty close. Eventually, though, the larger Kupihea nails him with a barrage of grounded knees that open up a cut on Shipp's head. From that point on, Kupihea mounts him and pounds him for the next several minutes. The ref really lets this go on for WAY too long. He even misses the towel thrown in at the six minute mark, so the timekeeper rings the bell prematurely to stop the fight.
Shipp would go on to have a respectable record of 10-5-0. He would even make it to UFC 47, but would lose to Jonathan Wiezorek. Wiezorek entered the fight with a broken back, but Shipp's defeat is more of a testament to Wiezorek's uncanny balls than Shipp's ability. On the subject of broken backs… Well, we'll get to that (Hint! Hint! Spinal injury coming up!)
Fight 6: Mike Bourke vs. Keith Richardson
This is easily the funniest fight of the night. Bourke looked like a frustrated father trying to give his son a whooping, but realizing that his boy has grown too big for him to kick his ass like he used to. After a Rhino Charge, Bourke attempted to throw Richardson to the ground using no semblance of technique, but this didn't work because Richardson is 270 lbs. After a while, Bourke finally managed to hit a blast double, but gets caught in a sidemounted guillotine choke that makes him spit his mouthpiece out. Bourke eventually escapes but gets stood back up.
On their feet, Bourke clocks Richardson with a few wild right hands (The announcers say Bourke has a boxing trainer, which I doubt). Richardson immediately looks like he doesn't want to be there, but Bourke refuses to follow it up either due to fatigue or lack of confidence. Most of the rest of the fight is spent in a clinch up against the fence, and would end with Bourke getting a very exhausted arm raised.
Fight 7: Mike Bourke vs. Kauai Kupihea
The climatic final fight advertised on the front cover of the DVD case! Bourke's back gives out after getting taken down and he submits 40 seconds in. Kauai Kupihea is the tournament champion!
Bourke would eventually get into some real training, but his youth passed him by and he would still end up losing a lot of fights. He was once slated to fight Kimbo Slice, but was replace by Bo Cantrell (Who previously defeated him). Late in his career he lost to Tank Abbott but retired on a high note by beating Ken Shamrock. For his part, Kauai Kupihea would get knocked out by Eric Pele on the next card and would go on to have a 15-11-0 record. His most notable victory was against Travis Wiuff.
Summary: For an early 2000's heavyweight tournament in a B-promotion, this is about as good as you can get. The stalling rules seemed to effectively increase action despite abating what would otherwise be called bullshit standups. My favorite fight of the night was Frazier vs. Ochiai, because it was a David vs. Goliath match and Ochiai's near-comeback towards the end had me bonering. Over all, I'd give the show a 15 out of 10.
Reasons to watch:
– Ring girl's ass
– Grounded knees
– Keith Richardson's bulge
– Ludicrious ruleset made the fights pretty head punch-centric

My Great Outdoors: Paula's Pizza Patio Makeover
Name: Paula
Location: Matteson, IL
Type of space: Outdoor patio
Tell us about your outdoor project and how you enjoy it: For Father's Day this year, my mother and I decided to go all out for my pizza-loving father. For many years we used our back patio as a dumping ground for our seasonal junk. This summer (actually only an astonishing 11 days) we turned it into a pizza coliseum. The structure consists of a pergola with monogrammed edging, a one of a kind countertop, and a wood-burning pizza oven. We also made detailed mosaic pizzas and a stone seating area to honor the chef.
How did you create it? With the help of my Aunt Michelle, we drew up a plan and made a list of supplies to build a one of a kind structure. The pergola is made of red cedar which we cut, built, and notched together. The base is made out of cinderblocks and covered in stone facing which took the bulk of time to construct.
The countertop is concrete, which we mixed and poured into place, and in laid two mosaic pizzas for a special touch. The project was then finished up by some quick landscaping and lighting just in time for Father's Day this year. It was a grueling eleven days with a small crew consisting of my mother, aunt, sister, and good friends who were willing to work in hopes of a "Poppy's Pizza" in return. The end result was more than any of us expected, and definitely worth the work.
Recommended store, site, product or resource? Home Depot(supplies), Fox Lumber (wood used), and Forno Bravo (pizza oven).

I had put put this Post on another Thread ,but I feel so strongly about it ,I have started this new Thread.
I was shocked to read about what had happened at the East of England Championship Show yesterday , this is from another Cavalier Forum ,the exact words are.
The Heat at the East of England Show yesterday was Unbearable.
The Post said that He or She was Disgusted to see so many Cavalier Exibitors Standing around the Ring with their Cavaliers in CAGES with the SUN beating down Relentlessly when there was Benching inside Buildings which were very cool . A further Comment was that those Folk do not Deserve to Own Dogs ,let alone Show them.
There were a Number of Warnings ,yet those Folk still Stood there while their Cavaliers slowly Cooked inside their Cages.
This Post finished by saying
Now to my thoughts about this Shameful Treatment of those Cavaliers.
I wonder if the Cavaliers did not have a Heart Problem yesterday ,will they now have one to-day as a Result of this Shameful Treatment that they had to Endure from those Irresponsible Cavalier Glory Seekers having no thought for their Cavaliers ,only for themselves wanting to win a Piece of Card Board
We now know who can call them-selves True Lovers of Cavaliers , it is us who would never have Subjected our Cherished Cavaliers to have caused them any Suffering in that Heat.
It is not only those Cavaliers who were stuck in Cages out-side in the Heat , but also the Cavaliers who were being Shown who would be Standing around as well Suffering from the Heat .
What are those Cavalier Owners Priorities ,to consider the Welfare of their Cavaliers, or for their own Egos ,to win Pieces of Card-Board at Shows.
Has the time now come for the Well -Being of Cavaliers , and other Dogs at Shows,if the Temperature reaches a certain level out-side, then they have to be Shown in an Air Conditioned Building.
If this can't be done then the Show has to be Cancelled.
I do hope the RSPCA will some-thing about what happened yesterday.

Palin, Beck flip out over MSNBC ad
Network blasted for pushing collective ownership of children
MSNBC is airing a provocative message for parents: Your kids belong to the community – not to you.
The network released a promo video featuring Melissa Harris-Perry, host of a weekend morning MSNBC show and professor of political science at Tulane University, who says Americans must grow beyond the idea that children belong to their parents.
"We have never invested as much in public education as we should have because we've always had kind of a private notion of children. Your kid is yours and totally your responsibility," Harris-Perry said. "We haven't had a very collective notion of these are our children.
"So part of it is, we have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents, or kids belong to their families, and recognize that kids belong to whole communities. Once it's everybody's responsibility and not just the household's, then we start making better investments."
At least three leading conservatives immediately blasted the promo.
Talk-show host Rush Limbaugh declared, "The nuclear family has always been under attack by communists, by leftists. The nuclear family – just like religion – must be destroyed, and in its place, 'the community,' the collective.
"So, while this is outrageous in its self-contained form, it isn't anything new. I guess one of the things that is the most frustrating to me is that liberalism and socialism and Marxism and this kind of stuff have been out there on display for people to see and recognize and accept as true for decades."
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin tweeted: "'Apparently MSNBC doesn't think your children belong to you. Unflippingbelievable."
Meanwhile, Glenn Beck pointed out that the MSNBC network promo is not just some gaffe by a host or panelist.
"This is something that people thought about," he said. "This is something that everybody worked on. This is something that everybody got together and filmed."
Beck said he has been predicting that leftists would stop hiding their true intentions, and this is just the beginning.
"I told you there would come a time when they would show you their true colors," he said.
Beck also argued that many parents might find the message appealing and would welcome turning over the parenting of their difficult-to-manage children to the state.
"I think that there's a good 20 to 30 percent of America, maybe even higher now, I'm not sure, [that] will gladly have the state take that over so they don't have to worry about it," he said.
"Yet another one of your responsibilities taken from you – I'm sorry. Another one of your responsibilities that you will gladly hand over because you don't know what to do."

Product Overview
These Full Length Sizer Dies use precision-machined neck bushings (sold separately) to size the case neck just enough provide the exact amount of bullet tension without overworking the brass. To determine the proper neck bushing size, measure the outside neck diameter of a loaded cartridge and subtract .002" to .003" to allow for a small amount of brass spring back. By removing the neck bushing, the Full Length sizing die can be used as a "bump" die to set headspace back the desired amount without disturbing the case neck. Shellholder sold separately.
- Gold Medal Match sizing dies use a separate neck bushing
- Neck bushing is not included
- To determine bushing size, measure the outside neck diameter of a loaded cartridge, subtract .002" to .003" -- this allows approximately .001" of brass spring back for correct neck tension. Another method is to measure the neck wall thickness of a case, multiply by two, add the diameter of the bullet and subtract .001" -- RCBS suggests purchasing neck bushings one to two sizes above and below the target diameter.
- Gold Medal Match bushing dies will accept bushings made by Hornady, Redding or Wilson in addition to RCBS bushings.

Reiner brings new meaning to baseball/life metaphor
Do you remember where you were when Kirk Gibson hit the home run off Dennis Eckersley to win Game 1 of the 1988 World Series?
That one may not have had the staying power in most memory banks -- and for many of those who are currently reading this, it's likely you weren't even born yet -- but for Hollywood superstar director Rob Reiner, that memory is indelible, for, ahem, good reason.
Do you remember where you were when Kirk Gibson hit the home run off Dennis Eckersley to win Game 1 of the 1988 World Series?
That one may not have had the staying power in most memory banks -- and for many of those who are currently reading this, it's likely you weren't even born yet -- but for Hollywood superstar director Rob Reiner, that memory is indelible, for, ahem, good reason.
Let's just say right as Gibson was rounding the bases, doing that famous arm pump as he touched second base, Reiner and his future wife were deciding, right then, that they really, really liked each other.
"I'll never forget it," Reiner said while chatting with MLB.com host Jeremy Brisiel during the most recent episode of "Express Written Consent." "It was the first time we were ever ... together, and Kirk Gibson, I hate to say it, was the aphrodisiac."
How apropos, given Reiner's love for baseball, a fascination that began as a kid idolizing Willie Mays and the Giants. Reiner eventually transitioned into a Dodgers fan, the result of two life-changing events: 1) His family moved to Los Angeles when he was a teenager; and 2) Mays was shipped to the Mets, angering an angst-ridden Reiner, who switched allegiances to the Dodgers.
Regardless of who he's rooting for, baseball as a whole has always fascinated Reiner. He sees it as a metaphor for life. That part isn't all that unusual --we've heard many poetic philosophies over time that compare the basics of baseball to the basics of life.
But it's fun to hear it from one of the most creative minds in the entertainment industry, one who came up with countless memorable lines from a slew of unforgettable movie classics, from "When Harry Met Sally" to "Sleepless in Seattle" to "A Few Good Men," and on and on.
Leave it up to Reiner to give us a brand new perspective on this baseball-is-a-metaphor-for-life thing that we've not heard in the past.
"You go out into the world, just like a guy would go out and try to make a living," Reiner began. "You go into enemy territory, and then, you come home. And everyone says, 'Hey, he's home. He brought home the bacon.' And you're rewarded. They're happy to see you. Just like life."
Also, as is the case in life, Reiner philosophized, in baseball, you're part of a team, but "when you're at-bat, nobody can help you. You're all by yourself.
"It's like life in that we're alone, yet we're still part of a team. In other sports, you rely, always, on your teammates to help you in whatever it is you do. In baseball, yes, you rely on your teammates, but there are moments when you are along and no one can help you. That's very much like life, too."
This guy should be making movies.
Speaking of which, Reiner has a new one out. It stars two legends, Michael Douglas and Diane Keaton, and is about finding one more great romance in life. Reiner was inspired to do the movie, coincidentally, while he was promoting another one. He has Jack Nicholson to thank for that.
The two were promoting the 2007 smash hit "The Bucket List," and during one of the many press junkets, reporters would ask, "What's on your bucket list?" Nicholson said, "One more great romance."
"I thought, 'That's an idea for a film,'" Reiner said. Seven years later, Reiner's vision is hitting the theaters, titled, "And So It Goes."
Reiner has a small part in the movie, but, the director warns, you may not recognize him. That's because his normally shiny dome is covered in a hairpiece so fantastically crafted, it is, as he said, "virtually undetectable."
"I defy anyone to say, 'What happened to Rob?'" he continued. "Everybody knows I'm bald. I am bald. It's not a surprise. So when you see this, you'll go, 'Hey, who's that guy?' Because you cannot notice this hairpiece that's on me. It's impeccable."
[FYI: It's a terrible hairpiece.]
Reiner's humor, inherited from both of his parents, has served him well over the many decades since he left his Meathead role in the 1970s and went on to become one of the greatest directors of his generation.
He's also one of Hollywood's greatest baseball fans, as evidenced by the many ways the great game has found its way into his movies.
Baseball, as Reiner points out, is timeless.
"There's no end to it," Reiner said. "It could, conceivably, go on forever."
We can only hope for the same for Reiner.

Who Are Essential Gov't Workers?
A few years ago I was trucking my way around Washington, D.C. in a snowstorm of Biblical proportions. A voice came over my radio saying, " All non-essential government employees need not report to work today due to the inclement weather conditions".
Are you like me, thinking, just who are these "non-essentials drawing a government paycheck every two weeks for doing, by government admission, essentially, nothing essential.
I made a few phone calls and discovered, through a few honest office workers, that the government estimation of non-essential workers in our nation's capitol is in the 38% to 42% of all workers. Yikes!
Just the other day I found myself in a wheat field driving a humongous tractor "tilling the soil" so the guy who owned the tractor and the wheat field could grow a crop of wheat that would be baked into loaves of bread and put out in stores to feed hungry Americans.
As I drove back and forth across this very large field I got to thinking about essential and non-essential, trying to fix in my mind just exactly who in this country is essential and who is not. My chest swelled right up when I had the thought that I am doing essential work. Oh for sure, someone else could be driving this particular tractor doing the very same thing I'm doing. I figured that "I" am not essential but someone to do this farm work is.
I looked across the fence to the south and saw some ranch folks moving cattle to summer range. (The husband riding an ATV while the wife was horseback!) I'm thinking this particular guy and his wife aren't essential but someone moving those cows to summer pasture is if there is to be beef in our supermarkets.
See, the actual people aren't the essential part of this equation. It's the job they're doing that's the essential or non-essential part.
Now here's the sticky wicket. (I have no earthly idea what that means. I just heard it on that BBC-TV show Downton Something-or-other.)
People have to eat. That's the essential fact. Oh sure, some folks out here in the West grow gardens to help feed themselves, but what about the city folks? It's supermarket time for them, and where do the stores get the food on their shelves? (I just helped grow some Wheaties.)
Agriculture is the ONE basic essential we cannot live without.
Now to get to the essential part of the story.
Keeping in mind the very first paragraph of this article, could we not survive without the 38% to 42% of government workers who are considered dead weight? That would be quite a savings.
There are several or more government agencies right here in Valley County that could be considered non-essential to our survival.
Let's just take one of the most non-essential, non-productive government welfare jobs in the whole country. Let's just call it the Environmental Protection Agency. The United States could survive quite nicely without this counter-productive arm of the government and its thousands of regulations foisted upon the citizenry and most times without our knowledge. Their harassment and bullying is becoming quite bothersome indeed.
The Bureau of Land Management should be contained a bit as well. Here's the deal about them. You take a young person fresh from four years of college with a degree in range biology. Then take a 70-year-old rancher, who, along with his family three generations back, have managed their allotments and private ground quite well without a college degree. Just hard work and common sense have kept their range healthy and producing well.
Which one would best know the land and what it can do?
Then along comes Joe College telling the rancher he must fence off a piece of his ground because they found some very rare and endangered "bug-eared squirt weed." Even though it is classified as a noxious weed, it must be protected from extinction no matter that it takes 47 acres away from the ranch allotment.
A case in point: A rancher took a look at a mile or so of fence on his BLM alottment. It was put up new about 60 years ago. He decided to put an all new, four wire, steel post fence. A BLM official whined about some gates the rancher was replacing and said, "The BLM doesn't want gates." A counter-productive statement indeed, and we couldn't figure out what it meant anyway.
I mean, here's a rancher putting up a mile of new fence, replacing old fence that cows could just walk through anyway, and the BLM complains. Seems they just have to complain about something, don't they?
So, you see, I guess we all have to decide in our own minds who and what is essential and who and what is non-essential.
Have you hugged a farmer or rancher today? Well … at least tell him, "Thanks for helping feed my family."
That's it for now folks. Thanks for listening.

Authors Guild Threatens Amazon For Daring To Allow Library Lending Of Ebooks
from the how-out-of-touch-are-they dept
So I guess it should come as no surprise that the group is now freaking out about Amazon's extremely limited "lending library" feature for ebooks. The service lets Kindle owners "borrow" one book a month for free. To appease potentially angry authors and publishers, Amazon made it clear that this doesn't actually impact revenue to publishers.
The "vast majority" are there following an agreement with the publishers to include the books for a fixed fee, while "in some cases", Amazon said it was purchasing the title under standard wholesale terms each time it is borrowed, "as a no-risk trial to demonstrate to publishers the incremental growth and revenue opportunity that this new service presents".The Authors Guild's response is to continue to portray itself as out of touch and clueless on important innovations. It suggested that none of the books in the "lending library" are there legitimately. And it doesn't care that Amazon still pays when the books are borrowed. Because the Authors Guild's out of touch views also seem to include a scorched earth provision, where any new innovation they don't like must be destroyed if it ever so slightly changes the way people enjoy books.

Don't shoot the messenger but the holidays are going to be here before we know it and as winter brides are in the thick of planning, this Austrian celebration crafted by A Very Beloved Wedding is just what the doctor ordered. From the prettiest snow-filled landscapes to a candlelit palace and pretty pomegranate details, even the most ardent lovers of summer will find themselves dreaming of the coziness of winter. The wildly gorgeous images by Greg Finck certainly help too. See the full day here plus a film by MG Image below!
[iframe http://player.vimeo.com/video/200208912 600 338]
It was love at first sight when Magdalena and Sebastian met. Serendipity was the phenomenon that united them. Their winter tale wedding happened in the most musical and romantic city of Austria, Salzburg. And not in any Palace, it was the Sound of music Palace. The ceremony was held in the historical St. Peter's Abbey, a Benedictine monastery and former cathedral. Followed by the cake cutting and first toast at The Stiftskeller nearby the church. Christmas and love was definitely in the air. A breathe-taking winter wedding filled with romance, elegance, happiness, togetherness and rhythm. The Leopoldskron Palace's lake was frozen and set a very special scenery for the couple shoot. The flowers were designed to both enhance and stand out from the winter scenes: Organic Christmas and love feelings with white, green, deep purple, deep red, and Marsala tones.

Every time I spend a fair amount of money on a mascara (and I would say anything over £15 is steep since the majority of mascara's try are crap) a part of me dies. Remember that.
Now, I was a bit spendy-happy when Boots had their amazing shopping evenings (£12 points for ever £50 spend) so as well as buying gifts I got a few make up bits for myself.
I haven't used Chanel mascara for a while so I bought their Inimitable Intense Mascara in Rouge Noir, a deep blackened plum. You can't go wrong with Chanel. Right?
I paid £21.50 for this – that is STEEP for a mascara, no? I have paid that amount of Jill Stuart mascara and also for Dior mascara (love them) but it always makes me cringe.
Here is the packaging:
The packaging is sleek:
Rouge Noir in a mascara sounds amazing (YSL Faux Cils does coloured mascara very well I think and their burgundy, not the purple, BURGUNDY, is amazing on brown eyes).
In the Inimitable though, it's more a deep flat aubergine plum…it doesn't show up THAT much. So I wouldn't buy it for the colour alone.
The brush is a spiky plastic one – I don't mind these type of brushes:
Here is the colour:
So there I was, all happy, tra-la-la ready to try this gorgeous looking mascara.
Tried once.
Tried twice.
Tried thrice.
Each time baby, I got terrible results. Clumpy. Bitty. I won't even try to answer the 'did it lengthen, did it add curl, did it add volume' question because I couldn't get over the strange clumping.
Are you ready for the close up?
It's seriously not good. It made me look like my lashes were falling out. It looks lumpy and bitty. Could is be a bad batch? It is possible. Either way I can't believe I paid £21.50 for this.
Another view:
Unfortunately in the UK it's not that easy to return make up so I guess this can sit in a drawer somewhere. I am not in the mood to argue with a Chanel SA quite frankly…I already had to argue with a Shu Uemura SA in Harvey Nichols last week about a lipstick I said was pink and she said was wine…I digress.
I wouldn't recommend this at all and I love Chanel! Sigh.

Tonsillitis is inflammation (swelling) of the tonsils.
The tonsils are lymph nodes in the back of the mouth and top of the throat. They help to filter out bacteria and other germs to prevent infection in the body.
A bacterial or viral infection can cause tonsillitis. Strep throat is a common cause.
The infection may also be seen in other parts of the throat. One such infection is called

- Difficulty swallowing
- Ear pain
Fever, chills Headache
- Sore throat - lasts longer than 48 hours and may be severe
- Tenderness of the jaw and throat
Other problems or symptoms that may occur are:
- Problems breathing, if the tonsils are very large
- Problems eating or drinking
Exams and Tests
Your health care provider will look in the mouth and throat.
- The tonsils may be red and may have white spots on them.
- The lymph nodes in the jaw and neck may be swollen and tender to the touch.
Swollen tonsils that are not painful or do not cause other problems do not need to be treated. Your health care provider may not give you antibiotics. You may be asked to come back for a checkup later.
If tests show you do have strep, your doctor will give you antibiotics. It is important to finish all of your antibiotics as directed by your doctor, even if you feel better. If you do not take them all, the infection can return.
The following tips may help your throat feel better:
- Drink cold liquids or suck on fruit-flavored frozen bars.
- Drink fluids, and mostly warm (not hot), bland fluids.
- Gargle with warm salt water.
- Suck on lozenges (containing benzocaine or similar ingredients) to reduce pain (these should not be used in young children because of the choking risk).
- Take over-the-counter medications, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen to reduce pain and fever. Do NOT give a child aspirin. Aspirin has been linked to
Reye syndrome.
Some people who have repeated infections may need surgery to remove the tonsils (
Outlook (Prognosis)
Tonsillitis symptoms due to strep will often get better within 2 or 3 days after you start the antibiotics.
Children with strep throat should be kept home from school or day care until they have been on antibiotics for 24 hours. This helps reduce the spread of illness.
Possible Complications
Complications from strep throat may be severe. They can include:
Abscess in the area around the tonsils
- Kidney disease caused by strep
Rheumatic feverand other heart problems
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if there is:
- Excess drooling in a young child
- Fever, especially 101F or higher
- Pus in the back of the throat
- Red rash that feels rough, and increased redness in the skin folds
- Severe difficulty swallowing or breathing
- Tender or swollen lymph glands in the neck

Wheatfield residents dealing with continually rising costs in food, gas and other areas will have at least one spot where the cost will be down in 2013.
Those attending the 7 p.m. budget public hearing on Wednesday, Nov. 7, will hear about a proposed decrease in the tax levy. The budget also is posted on the town's website or can be viewed at the town clerk's office.
Ed Mongold, budget director, said the budget for 2013 currently stands at $12,053,812. That's up from $11,880,565 in 2012. However, revenues are up for the coming year, primarily because of an increase in the town's share of county sales tax. Also affecting costs are the success of the town's large bin recycling program and the recent bid for garbage collection that came in lower than what the town had been paying.
Mongold said the overall tax levy decrease is 7.55 percent. On a typical home valued at $125,000, the tax rate would be down $41.55 per $1,000 assessed value or 7.38 percent. That would mean a total of $521.34 in taxes for 2013, compared to $562.89 in 2013.
If, after the Nov. 7 public hearing, the Town Board decides to approve the budget without further change, a vote will be taken at the regular meeting scheduled after the public hearing, Supervisor Bob Cliffe said. Another meeting will be set for Nov. 15 if more time is needed before the final budget vote. The next regular meeting after the budget vote will be Nov. 26.
Cliffe said there were some reductions in the budget originally presented, but nothing drastic.
Among proposed additions to the budget is the hiring of a second Niagara County Sheriff's deputy to help patrol the town. Wheatfield, already has the standard sheriff's patrol provided to all towns in the county, plus an extra deputy hired by the town and dedicated to Wheatfield.
"Having a second deputy to patrol the town will give us the ability to have somebody out there on weekends and evenings and give us a little more coverage," Cliffe said.
The board is also adding back to the budget an employee for the Highway Department to replace a former employee who died about two years ago and whose position wasn't included in the 2012 budget.
Councilman Larry Helwig complimented Mongold and Cliffe on an "excellent job" putting the 2013 budget together.
In other matters:
•Cliffe warned residents that coyotes are already active this year in the town. One resident near Mario Park called to say she had seen five "wolves" in her back yard and they had killed an animal.
"Keep your pets inside," Cliffe warned. "I doubt they will attack during the day, but they will come out at night."
•Building Inspector Joe Caturia reported a substantial increase in build permits compared to last year. New single-family home permits are up to 64, compared to 37 the previous year.
•The professionally prepared maps of the four options for a Town Center development of property owned by the town adjacent to the Town Hall campus was displayed by Economic Development Focus Group. The maps will be shown on the town's website and at Town Hall. Next step will be to seek proposals from developers. The maps show various options by the committee ranging from a recreation plan concentrating on ball fields, soccer fields, concessions and maintenance to a town square plan concentrating on commercial and residential development. The plans also include a library, and each plan has some form of walking path. The board is expected to decide which of the four maps is preferred in November.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – After racing to a 48-18 halftime lead, MIT rested its starters in the second and coasted to an 84-53 non-conference victory against Newbury College on Monday night. Freshman Jamie Karraker dropped in a career-best 23 points for the Engineers, who improved to 6-1 since December 4.
Although MIT (10-4) fell behind 8-1 two minutes into the contest, the Engineers scored eight of the next 10 before a three by senior Jimmy Bartolotta gave MIT its first lead of the game at 13-10 with 13:35 on the clock. MIT broke the game open with a 16-3 run over the next four minutes while closing the first half with a 19-2 run that virtually sealed the win.
The Cardinal and Gray finished 10-of-22 beyond the arc in the first half and picked up 13 assists on 15 field goals. Bartolotta, who sat out the last 16 minutes of the contest and finished the night with 23 points, scored 21 in the opening half on 5-of-11 shooting from the outside.
In the second half, the Engineers turned to their bench while Karraker was the only starter to log significant minutes. A lay-up by fellow rookie Billy Bender with 14 minutes left gave MIT its largest lead of the evening at 64-24.
"Stepping out of conference play, I was pleased with the way we played defense in the first half," remarked head coach Larry Anderson. "I was also encouraged by the play of our freshmen tonight, as well as Patrick Sissman and Travis Tucker, who were solid for us off the bench."
Karraker closed 5-of-11 from three-point range and was a heavy contributor in MIT's long-distance attack. The Engineers finished 13-of-29 from deep (44.8%) with Eric Zuk going 2-for-3 and Billy Johnson adding another during the first half.
Despite sitting on the bench for most of the second frame, Bartolotta added five assists, four rebounds, three steals, and a block to his offensive output. Johnson chipped in 14 points in 22 minutes while Zuk dropped in 12. Bender delivered a monster performance on the glass and closed with a game and career-high 13 rebounds. He added two assists, a pair of steals, and three points. All nine players entering the game logged at least 10 minutes while a season-high eight players saw at least 20 minutes of action.
Walky Magloire enjoyed a big second half for Newbury (2-6) and finished with 18 points and six rebounds. Paul Beckford added eight boards and eight points on 4-of-4 shooting, while Kevin Cleveland had 11 points, five assists, and five rebounds.

The latest, very bling-looking bike kit from Troy Lee Designs and some carbon goodness from the SRAM group were among the highlights of this week's Fisher Expo. Also on display at the trade show hosted by UK distributors Fisher Outdoor Leisure was '09 gear from companies including Norco, Look, Tacx, Dahon and Schwalbe.
We'll publish more details and photos from the Birmingham expo later in the week, but for now here's the pick of the TLD and SRAM stands. Click on the thumbnails on the right for more pictures.
Troy Lee Designs
Troy Lee's D2 full-face helmets have been on many downhill and 4X riders' most-wanted lists since the late '90s, and this year's look is as desirable as ever, with designs such as the Lucha with its bold pirate-style mask and black, green and red colour scheme.
There's also the more understated Crow and a special History model featuring logos from the firm's 18 years in business, as well as a full range of race jerseys, pants and shorts, many with bling gold accents.
New for '09 is the Ace glove, an entry-level model with many similarities to the firm's popular thin-palmed XC glove. It should retail for around £19.99 and is available in white, black, blue, red or green.

Troy Lee's new Skyline and Ruckus jerseys are aimed at the all-mountain/freeride crowd and are less 'factory' than their downhill jerseys yet not as subdued as their cross-country kit. Expect to see lots of these at a trail centre near you soon.

Also new this year is an expanded range of off-the-bike clothing, including T-shirts, baseball caps and hoodies. The History Tee continues this year's 18th anniversary and gold themes, while the fleecy Factory and Headline hoodies look like perfect apres-bike wear.

Taking pride of place on TLD's stand was a replica of extreme sports legend (and Troy Lee-sponsored athlete) Shaun Palmer's 1998 Specialized FSR Team DH downhill bike, put together by an avid fan.

SRAM group
The SRAM group – SRAM, RockShox, Avid and Truvativ – had plenty of pimp-looking new kit on display, but much of it had already been seen at Interbike and the Sea Otter Classic.
Truvativ's Hammerschmidt gear system was set up on a test bike which drew a steady stream of curious riders. The Fisher Expo also marked the official UK launch of RockShox's beefed up Boxxer downhill forks, which are said to be stiffer, lighter and more precise. They look even nicer in the flesh than in the pictures, and we hope to have a set on test soon.
RockShox's new Boxxers, left, are stiffer and lighter, while the Reba has 5mm more travel
The '09 RockShox Reba cross-country fork features 5mm more travel (120mm), a new arch and Power Bulges on the legs – these allow a bigger bush to be used for increased stiffness and better wear – and is said to be considerably stiffer than the '08 version. A long-legged version is now available for 29ers.
Avid unveiled a new video designed to show customers how to bleed their Juicy brakes. It's one of a number of SRAM group technical videos posted on YouTube.
Truvativ's bashrings caught our eye. Fed up with boring black? How about a ring that looks like it should be under a cup of tea at your gran's?
Anyone for tea? Truvativ now do bashrings in a range of designs
On the road side of things, SRAM's S40, S60 and S80 wheels drew a lot of admiring glances and feature structural (rather than cosmetic) carbon fairings. With weights starting at 1,615g a pair, they are set to be seen on many a race bike this year.
SRAM's S-series wheels drew admiring glances
Truvativ's road bars should also prove popular, with their new, more traditional shape. The shorter reach and smoother drops are said to be perfect for riders who use SRAM's Double Tap levers.

Stay tuned for more from the Fisher Expo, including Norco's '09 mountain bike range, some innovative folding bikes from Dahon, new shades from Bloc and team replica strips from Santini.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - A 13-5 run by Springfield College during the final six minutes thwarted a late rally by MIT as the Pride went on to pick up a 65-45 win in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) game on Saturday. The Pride's (7-9, 3-3 NEWMAC) Corey Finch led all scorers with 21 points on 10-of-15 shooting from the floor. Sharon Prange paced the Engineers (3-12, 0-5 NEWMAC) with 18 points and seven rebounds.
A jumper by Kimberly Soo Hoo put MIT on the board in the opening possession of the game. Amanda DiPaolo notched Springfield's first points with a trey 2:24 later. The Engineers regained the lead on a basket by Clara Yuan but Tara McCarthy answered with a lay-up during the Pride's next possession. Springfield went on to build a seven-point advantage (13-6) at the 11:55 mark. MIT slowly chipped away at the deficit, eventually taking a 20-17 lead with five minutes remaining in the half. Back-to-back lay-ups returned the lead to Springfield for good as it entered the intermission with a 28-22 advantage.
Both squads traded baskets to start the second stanza, as MIT trailed, 31-27, at 18:24. After two minutes of scoreless play, three consecutive baskets by Finch resulted in the Pride's first double-digit lead of the day at the 15:03 mark. Springfield's lead never fell below double-digits as it went on to record its second consecutive NEWMAC victory.
McCarthy finished with 18 points, seven rebounds, and four assists while Lauren O'Connor grabbed a game-high 13 boards. Liz Jordan contributed nine caroms and four steals to the Pride's cause.
Both teams continue conference play on Wednesday, Jan. 24. MIT will travel to Wellesley College while Springfield will host Smith College.
