Prevention for women veterans (babies too)
"Women Veterans Program Managers...welcome your ideas and value your
opinions, call...or send...e-mail."
OPEN LETTER (archived for global access; see below)

OBs are knowingly closing birth canals up to 30% and performing episiotomies
and c-sections fraudulently/surgically inferring they are doing/have done
everything possible to open birth canals.
Many unnecessary surgeries are being performed and babies are being harmed.
I am hoping that Women Veteran Program Managers (in Veterans Integrated
Services Networks everywhere; not just in VISN One) will start educating all
women veterans that: 1) OBs are knowingly closing birth canals up to 30%;
and 2) that it is easy for women to allow their birth canals to open the
"extra" up to 30%.
All women have to do is roll onto their side as they push their babies out.
Women should be warned though that some OBs let women "try" alternative
birth positions but move them back to semisitting or dorsal (close their
birth canals up to 30%) for the actual delivery.
I mention this simple PREVENTIVE measure because the Togus VAMC "emphasizes
primary, specialty, and PREVENTIVE care..."
http://www.visn1.med.va.gov/togus/ (emphasis added)
....and because Women Veterans Program Managers "advocate for equal access to
primary and PREVENTIVE health care for women..."
http://www.visn1.med.va.gov/womenvet/ (emphasis added)
I note that the Women Veterans Program actually includes Maternity Care at
some VISN sites...
Please make sure that women veterans using maternity care at these VISN
sites are made aware that OBs are not only closing birth canals they are
KEEPING birth canals closed - both when shoulders get stuck (in shoulder
dystocia) and when they use forceps and vacuum extractors.
Please inform them also that OBs close birth canals as uteri push and keep
birth canals closed as they (OBs) chemically whip uteri to push violently -
with oxytocin and Cytotec.
Yes, most babies do "OK" - but an estimated 4.6% of "healthy" term babies
are suffering unexplained brain bleeds.
Some babies die, some get paralyzed - most "only" have their spines
gruesomely wrenched.
ALL spinal manipulation is gruesome with the birth canal closed - and to a
baby with trapped shoulders - the birth canal is indeed closed.
It's a rather massive (sometimes fatal) spinal manipulation felony.
Medical doctors agree with "my" biomechanics; but they understandably don't
want to speak up and call for an immediate end to the obvious obstetric
See Obstetric roof on fire! (The problem and Dr. Sarah...)
Please urge all the VISNs to immediately begin offering women this simple
PREVENTIVE health care.
Dr. Gastaldo
PS Tim Dennis, DC, CCRD, who I believe is the first chiropractic physician
to serve in the VA system was recently selected to begin treating patients
at Togus.
Tim knows that an important lesson learned in chiropractic college is when
NOT to manipulate the spine.
With OBs closing birth canals up to 30% and sometimes pulling so hard they
rip spinal nerves out of tiny spinal cords...
Tim will no doubt want to help there at Togus VAMC in the educational effort
to stop OBs from closing birth canals and gruesomely manipulating most
babies' spines.
Will you forward this email to Tim - via email or surface mail?
Thanks in advance.
I'm hoping VISN 1 will take the lead in passing the word to all women
veterans and VA maternity centers. Actually, this information should be
passed to ALL veterans. Many no doubt have daughters or daughters-in-law
who are pregnant.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Lawyers convicted of child pornography charges will automatically be disbarred and prohibited from practicing law in California, the state Supreme Court ruled Thursday.
Deciding the fate of an Orange County lawyer whose license was suspended after he pleaded guilty to having child porn at his home, the court said that keeping sexual images of children constitutes an act of moral turpitude that makes an attorney unfit for the legal profession.
"The knowing possession of child pornography is a serious breach of the duties of respect and care that all adults owe to all children, and it shows such a flagrant disrespect for the law and for societal norms, that continuation of a convicted attorney's State Bar membership would be likely to undermine public confidence in and respect for the legal profession," Justice Carol Corrigan wrote in the opinion.
The unanimous ruling came in the case of Gary Douglass Grant, a former Army lawyer at the Los Alamitos Army Reserve Base in Orange County. Grant pleaded guilty to one count of knowingly possessing child pornography in 2009 after sheriff's deputies found videos and photographs of underage girls mixed in with a large adult pornography collection on his computers and data discs.
The chief trial counsel and a hearing judge for the State Bar of California called for his disbarment. But a bar appeals board determined that whether a child pornography conviction represents moral turpitude and therefore grounds for disbarment depends on the circumstances of the case.
Relying in part on Grant's contention that he was a "recovering sex and love addict" but had acquired the images of children accidentally and tried to delete them, the review board recommended that Grant only be suspended from law for two years.
The Supreme Court is the body with authority to disbar lawyers, so the bar court asked the justices to weigh in.
"Grant pleaded guilty to the felony of knowingly possessing child pornography. His guilty plea establishes those facts as a matter of law," Corrigan wrote in revoking Grant's license for life. "The only question here is whether that crime, as admitted by him, constitutes moral turpitude per se. It does."

A finely tuned balance of light weight, extended durability, ergonomic performance and superior weather protection, this is a solid choice for climbers and alpinists looking for an all-round hardshell to perform across the spectrum of alpine conditions. The Alpha AR has a streamlined athletic fit and ergonomic e3D patterning that deliver maximum freedom on rock and ice.
Ergonomic fit is a key Arc'teryx design detail. True freedom of movement is not achieved by adding excess volume or space, but is the result of careful utilization of ergonomically planned articulation designed to move as the body moves. Arc'teryx Ergonomic 3-Dimensional (e3D) patterning crafts the shapes of the parts in key joint areas to bring a remarkably efficient level of articulation that provides the Alpha AR's exceptional, purpose specific range of motion.
The Alpha AR is a climber's jacket, and features are selected to meet the alpine environment. Easily accessible crossover pockets sit high and work with harness and packs. The full coverage helmet compatible StormHood™ cinches tight, moves with the head and provides exceptional peripheral vision. Removable HemLock™ inserts keep the jacket in position while in use with a harness. Pit zippers add ventilation, and laminated WaterTight™ zippers help seal out weather.
Reliability comes from selecting the best materials.

Backed with a micro- grid woven backer, this waterproof/breathable fabric is notably lightweight and durable. The N80p-X GORE-TEX® Pro reinforcements at the shoulders, forearms and cuffs are specifically placed to protect areas exposed to high levels of abrasion.

WASHINGTON – U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Dean Woods a member of the United States Army Band "Pershing's Own," has been selected to participate in the 57th presidential inaugural parade, which is scheduled to take place Jan. 21, 2013.
Woods, a Dalton, Ga., native plays the bassoon with the band.
The United States Army Band "Pershing's Own" was founded in 1922 by Army Chief of Staff, General John J. "Black Jack" Pershing. Its mission is to provide music for official ceremonies and special events throughout the National Capital Region. The U.S. Army Band "Pershing's Own" is the premier band of the U.S. Army, the nation's most senior service. Many of its classically trained members have earned advance degrees from the nation's most prestigious music schools and conservatories. Since the inauguration of Calvin Coolidge in 1925, "Pershing's Own" has been part of the official escort to the president in each inaugural parade.
Assembled for special, major presidential events, such as inaugurals and state funerals, the 99-member band is comprised of members of the U.S. Army Ceremonial Band, the U.S. Army Concert Band, and the U.S. Army Blues. The band is led by Leader and Commander Col. Thomas H. Palmatier of Ballston Spa, N.Y., and the Drum Major is Master Sgt. Scott A. Little, of Marshfield, Md.
The U.S. Armed Forces have participated in the inauguration of the president of the United States since April 30, 1789, when members of the U.S. Army, local militia units and Revolutionary War veterans escorted George Washington to his first inauguration ceremony at Federal Hall in New York City. Participation by the armed forces traditionally includes musical units, marching bands, color guards, salute batteries and honor cordons. More than two hundred twenty years later, the participation of soldiers, Marines, sailors, airmen and Coast Guardsmen continues to honor our commander in chief, recognize civilian control of the armed forces and celebrate democracy.
Just as military men and women show their commitment to this country while deployed around the globe, participation of service members in this traditional event demonstrates our military's support to the nation's commander in chief.

After months of fretting and uncertainty, five Rosie the Riveters from the Bay Area will head to Washington, D.C. to meet the vice president after 100 donors decided to help the elderly women on fixed-incomes make the cross-country trip.
Marsha Mather-Thrift, executive director of the Rosie the Riveter Trust in Richmond, Calif., said that the big contributors include Kaiser Permanente, Virgin America, the Plumbers, Steamfitters & Refrigeration Fitters UA Local Union 393, Trico Pipe, and the Electrical Industry Advancement Program for IBEW 302. In all, nearly $30,000 poured in, including free plane tickets.
"The response was amazing," Mather-Thrift told NBC Bay Area on Friday. "From donors big and small. The outpouring was great. These women represent a huge number of Rosies around the country. These women deserve to go."
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
The money will be plenty for sisters Phyllis Gould, 92, of Fairfax, Calif., and Marian Sousa, 87, of El Sobrante, Calif., and three other "Rosies" to visit the nation's capital. Each of the women will be accompanied by a chaperone.
The big trip comes after Gould received a personal invitation by phone from Vice President Joe Biden this fall.
"We're all really happy that the public came to our aid, " Gould's younger sister, Sousa, told NBC Bay Area on Friday during a break being a docent at Rosie the Riveter/ WWII Home Front National Historical Park. "I am really looking forward to it. I had every confidence we were going to go."
As for meeting Biden, Sousa said: "He's such a nice guy, not stuck up. He's one of us."
MORE: VP Joe Biden Invites Calif. Rosie the Riveter to White House
Biden called Sousa's older sister on Oct. 22 to acknowledge Gould's place in history as one of the first women welders during WWII stationed at the Kaiser shipyard in 1942. The Rosies have are a cultural icon, representing American women as a whole who worked in factories during World War II, often replacing men in jobs while they served in the military.
Biden told Gould she came from a "remarkable, remarkable generation of women." And in classic Biden fashion, the vice president told Gould: "That's pretty impressive, kid."
Then, Biden invited her to visit him, something she desperately wanted to do, but couldn't, as she and her pals live on fixed incomes. That prompted them to fundraise through the trust that supports the Rosie the Riveter/ WWII Home Front National Historical Park in Richmond, Calif., where most of them still work every week.
Mather-Thrift said the women don't have an exact date to visit Biden's office just yet, but they've had representatives help them secure the future meeting. In the last few days, the women have had to give their Social Security information to clear their backgrounds before the visit.
Aside from the sisters, the other three Rosie the Riveters invited on the trip were Marian Wynn, 87, and Kay Morrison, 90, both of Fairfield, Calif.; and Priscilla Elder, 93, of Pinole, Calif. They will take off from San Francisco International Airport on March 29, and tour Washington, D.C. and its museums and monuments until April 5.
For her part, Gould thinks the whole thing is "fabulous." She's very anxious to know what's going to happen when she gets there.
"I have no idea what the White House is going to do," she said. "They haven't told us anything."

Enjoying delicious food is at the center of nearly all holiday celebrations, regardless of social, cultural or religious background. Festive banquets, sumptuous buffets and overflowing dinner tables invite to indulge. However, with so much food put out, there is also a heightened danger of contamination that can result in sometimes serious, even fatal food-borne illness. Whether you eat out in a restaurant, partake in a catered office party or cook up a storm at home, chances are you encounter items that are not agreeable with your digestive system.
Fortunately, most food-borne infections only cause stomach cramps, vomiting and a day or two of diarrhea – but nothing more serious. Still, out of the nearly 50 million Americans who on average fall sick from spoiled food every year, 128,000 were hospitalized and 5,000 died in 2011, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Treating cases of acute food poisoning costs the United States a whopping $152 billion per year in healthcare, missed work and other economic losses, says a report by the Produce Safety Project (PSP), an initiative of the Pew Charitable Trust.
According to the CDC, food-borne illness, also known as "food poisoning," is a common but largely preventable public health problem. There can be many different kinds of infections caused by a wide range of pathogens that contaminate food. In addition, there are poisonous chemicals and other harmful substances that can do equal damage. Currently, over 250 different food-borne diseases have been identified by the agency. Besides through food, infections can spread through unsafe drinking water, water people swim in, and even person-to-person contact.
Raw animal food products spoil the easiest and fastest. Raw meat, seafood (especially shellfish), poultry, eggs and unpasteurized milk are prime candidates for contamination. The risks multiply when items consist of parts from many individual animals such as ground beef or raw milk that often come from hundreds of different sources.
Fruits and vegetables are also of concern when they are consumed uncooked, unpeeled, unwashed or washed in unclean water. Exposure to fertilizers, especially manure, can result in E. coli and salmonella, to name just two of the most common illnesses. If there are pathogens in or on fruit used for fruit juices, even those can be contaminated if they are not pasteurized.
Contamination can also occur when the people who handle the food don't take the necessary precautions. Dirty kitchens and unsound cooking techniques are often a cause for food spoilage. And so is improper refrigeration.
While you can only hope for the best when eating out, you can reasonably safeguard your food at home, especially when you are in charge of the kitchen. Here are a few rules you should always observe, according to the CDC:
Cook meats and seafood thoroughly. Even if you like your steak less than well done, make sure it gets exposed to heat high enough to kill bacteria on the outside and avoid contamination of the center from improper handling.
Wash lettuce and all salad ingredients you consume raw in clean water and peel fruits whenever possible.
Always clean hands, utensils, cutting boards, plates and kitchen counter surfaces after they've come in touch with raw meat or fish.
Refrigerate perishables as soon as possible and don't keep them unnecessarily exposed to room temperature during preparation.
If you get sick and have symptoms of food poisoning, see your doctor.

Can Christians Go Back To A Life Of Sin
No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God. (1 John 3:9)
Does this mean that someone who is truly saved cannot go back to a life of sin?
To say a truly saved person can't go back to a life of sin contradicts the extreme version of once saved always saved.
To conclude from that verse that one can't go back to a life of sin is obvious error, as the Biblical examples of Solomon, the younger widows of 1 Tim 5:11-15, those referred to in 2 Pet 2:20-22, etc. show. Such a possibility is also implied from 1 Pet 1:14:
As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance.
God's seed (his word) impedes sin if it is hidden in our hearts (Psa 119:9-110). However, as one might not remain in the Vine (John 15:6), God's seed might not remain in the person who gets born of God.
If 1 John 3:9 had the meaning the once saved always saved folks give it, then Paul's warning to those born of God, which he gave multiple times (Gal 5:19-21), would be meaningless.

Interim Program Director
ADVANCE for Respiratory Care Practitioners
American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC)
Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care
National Board for Respiratory Care (NBRC)
Tennessee Society for Respiratory Care (TSRC)
The Associate of Applied Science Degree in Respiratory Care degree program provides a quality Advanced-Practitioner respiratory care education to the geographically large and rural service area of East Tennessee. The program prepares individuals to apply to become registered respiratory therapists. Upon completion of the program, graduates are eligible to take the credentialing examinations offered by the National Board for Respiratory Care (NBRC) to become registered respiratory therapists.
A.A.S in Respiratory Care Curriculum and Admissions Requirements
You can live without food for weeks. You can live without water for days. But if you are deprived of air, you will die within minutes. In terms of life or death, breathing is your most important need.
Many people have trouble breathing. Because of a serious disease or accident, many people have impaired or non-functioning lungs. Respiratory Practitioners are the health care specialists who evaluate and treat patients with breathing disorders.
YOU can make the difference!
The need for Respiratory Care Practitioners is expected to grow above the national average for all job growth. As the number of elderly persons grow, the need for respiratory care will increase as well.
The respiratory care profession has a bright future with a great job outlook and opportunity for advancement. Once you enter the profession you can specialize in an area such as neonatal care, cardiopulmonary support, helicopter transport, critical care, education or management.
If you want to join this exciting field, you must be sensitive to those who have serious physical impairments. You must work well as a member of a team. The ability to pay close attention to detail, and follow instructions independently are prerequisites for practitioners. Since some of the work therapists do center on the equipment you use, you should have an interest in the mechanics of medical technology.
If you want to be a respected, essential member of a health care team who treats patients from newborns to the elderly, work with advanced technology and sustain lung and breathing activity, then consider Respiratory Care as a profession dedicated to saving and sustaining life!
The Respiratory Care Program is located at the WSCC Greeneville/Greene County Campus . All respiratory classes and laboratories are located in Greeneville.
RCPs may work in general care wards, neonatal, pediatric, and/or adult intensive care units, pulmonary function labs, rehabilitation, etc.
Typical duties include:
Take a moment and view the video . A Matter of Life and Breath This video shows the roles and responsibilities of respiratory care practitioners and interviews with real-life therapists, students, and physicians, and shows the various work settings and types of patients, as well as educational requirements. 6 minute streaming Windows Media or QuickTime movie.
The mission for the Respiratory Care Program is to provide excellent Respiratory Care education for our students. The combination of classroom instruction, laboratory, and clinical teaching in local hospitals provides each student with the knowledge and skills to become a safe, proficient respiratory therapist. The experienced faculty give students an excellent education and prepares the students for their careers as registered respiratory therapists.

Bumgarner solid again as Giants beat Rockies 3-2
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Madison Bumgarner took another positive step in preparation for his first opening-day start, pitching three scoreless innings Tuesday in the San Francisco Giants' 3-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies.
Bumgarner allowed a ground single and a bloop single while striking out one. He's thrown five shutout innings this spring since manager Bruce Bochy declared him the starter for the March 31 opener at Arizona.
The 24-year-old lefty said he threw all his pitches, but relied mostly on fastballs as he strengthens his arm.
"The pitches I made from the stretch felt better than they did last time," Bumgarner said. "There were still some balls I left up, but at least it wasn't on a regular basis. So I feel good about it."
Bumgarner went 13-9 with a career-best 2.77 ERA last year and was the only Giants starter with a winning record during their 76-86 season. But the rotation has looked strong so far this spring. Ryan Vogelsong followed Bumgarner and allowed one run on three hits in three innings.
Ryan Wheeler's double in the sixth scored the first run allowed by the Giants' projected rotation in 14 innings. The starters have given up just one walk.
"Bumgarner and Vogelsong both looked really sharp," Bochy said.
Tyler Colvin and Tony Abreu drove in runs in the fourth against Rockies closer LaTroy Hawkins to put San Francisco ahead to stay.
Rockies: With Jhoulys Chacin (shoulder) possibly set to miss a few starts in April, Colorado is hoping Juan Nicasio can grab a rotation spot.
Nicasio, finally healthy after 2012 knee surgery, allowed two hits and struck out four in three scoreless innings.
"I used to hang my slider a lot," he said. "I couldn't put my weight on my knee and I would throw with only my arm. Now I have better (stability) with my knee, so my breaking ball is sharper now."
Rockies manager Walt Weiss called the outing "encouraging."
Giants: First baseman Brandon Belt started and went 2 for 3 with a single and a double after missing Monday's game with a stiff neck. Belt is 6 for 10 this spring.
Rockies: First baseman Justin Morneau, who hasn't played since Friday, sat out again with a sore neck. Weiss said Morneau probably would miss Wednesday's game.
"My feeling is hitters don't need many at-bats down here," Weiss said.
Backup catcher Jordan Pacheco said an MRI on his strained left shoulder showed no structural damage. He called the pain a result of "overuse" and said he should be fine after a few days of rest.
Second baseman Josh Rutledge (left ankle) remained sidelined.
Seeking more power at the top of the order, Weiss has moved NL batting champion Michael Cuddyer to second in the lineup.
The right fielder hit .331 with 20 homers and 84 RBIs last season while in the middle of the order.
"For me it's no different," said Cuddyer, who didn't play Tuesday. "I think a lot of times we make a big deal about where we hit in the order and you try to cater your game to that.
"I think it's the manager's job to put your skill set in the position that he thinks is going to be beneficial to the team. My approach to hitting doesn't change."
Cuddyer, who turns 35 this month, is 0 for 7 while batting second in three spring games.
"My first couple weeks of spring is just seeing where I am timing-wise," he said.

Beat Cancer's Online Store
Over the last few years, there have been all sorts of advancements that have allowed medical professionals, patients, and family members to better understand cancer.

We offer a variety of hard copy books and eBooks that provide a wealth of knowledge about foods that fight cancer, along with foods that cause it.
Aside from books and eBooks, we also offer CDs and DVDs for customers who prefer to listen than read. Topics include the connection between breast cancer and diet and stress and cancer, as well as how you can fight cancer with your fork.
Cancer Diet Kits
If you're looking for a bundle of information about cancer-fighting foods, check out our cancer diet kits. Each kit offers different books, magazines, and studies that provide information about cancer-causing foods and the benefits of dietary changes when fighting and beating cancer.

Silence fell as victims of a deadly IRA coach bombing were remembered 42 years after the tragedy.
Victims' family, survivors and dignitaries gathered at Hartshead Moor services on Sunday morning to remember the nine soldiers and three civilians who died following the blast on February 4, 1974.
The coach was carrying off-duty Army personnel and exploded between junction 26 and 27 of the M62 near Oakwell Hall.
The entrance hall of the westbound section of the Hartshead Moor services area was used as an impromptu first aid area for the wounded.
The explosion killed eleven people straight away and wounded many others, one of whom died four days later.
During the service the Mayor of Kirklees, Coun Paul Kane, said: "For some here today, the memories are all too painful, all too real. They live with the memory of what happened that day, every single day. For others – as with many of the atrocities that were committed over those decades – memorials like this are the only way many young people will have an awareness that times were not always as they are now."
Around 250 people turned out for the service, which included nearly 30 standards from various Royal British Legion (RBL) branches.
Members marched to the bottom of the car park, followed by ex-servicemen on motorcycles. Chaplain of the Spen RBLbranch Terry Brewis led prayers. Wreaths were laid by the families as well as by the relevant regiments, the Mayor of Kirklees Paul Kane and Calderdale mayor Lisa Lambert. On welcoming the mourners, Mrs Lambert said: "Remembering is an important part of what makes us human."
The Last Post was played and two minutes of silence observed. The Mayor of Oldham – where many of the victims were based – was unable to attend due to illness.

In 1775, the Continental Congress ordered construction of America's first naval fleet.
In 1792, the cornerstone to the White House was laid. It would be November 1800 before the first presidential family (that of John Adams) moved in.

In 1943, conquered by the Allies, Italy declared war on Germany, its former Axis partner.
In 1972, more than 170 people were killed when a Soviet airliner crashed near the Moscow airport.

In 1991, the Group of Seven industrialized democracies agreed to formulate a Soviet economic reform program with Moscow.
In 1992, the first pig liver transplant patient died in a Los Angeles hospital 30 hours after surgery and just hours before she was to get a human organ.
In 1993, the U.N. Security Council voted to reinstate an oil and arms embargo against Haiti after its military leaders refused to step down as promised.
Also in 1993, the Bell Atlantic Corporation and Tele-Communications Inc. announced plans for a merger; the deal was worth $33 billion.
In 1994, two months after the Irish Republican Army announced a cease-fire, Protestant paramilitaries in Northern Ireland did the same.
In 1999, the Senate rejected a treaty signed by the United States that banned all underground nuclear testing. Despite that, President Clinton pledged to abide by the treaty's provisions.
Also in 1999, a grand jury in Boulder, Colo., announced it had insufficient evidence to charge anyone in the Dec. 26, 1996, murder of 6-year-old beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey.
A thought for the day: French playwright Pierre Corneille said, "To win without risk is to triumph without glory."

Robin Thicke is gross and Paula Patton finally figured it out
At least I hope she has…
PEOPLE has the exclusive. Paula Patton and Robin Thicke have separated and released a statement:
"We will always love each other and be best friends, however, we have mutually decided to separate at this time."
Well, considering he had his hand down some broad's ass and looked like he was fingering her at the VMAs, this probably shouldn't be a surprise.
But they tried to save face. She TRIED SO HARD to save face. So I would like to believe that she's finally realised he's a pig. I would very much like to believe that. But I also wonder whether or not it was him. He's never been more successful as he is now. And he's never had more pussy thrown at him. He's 36 and he's been with her for years and years and years. For someone like Robin Thicke, that must feel like a cage.
Suddenly though, I like her a LOT more. Maybe she'll stop wearing so much f-cked up sh-t.
Here he is with his son Julian and Disneyland yesterday, conveniently.

Welcome to the newest series with our friends at Fabric.com: Weekend Wonders. Pretty projects you can whip out in a weekend. Ours have a casual summer theme – perfect for a sunny weekend. Make them all to gussy-up your own outdoor living space or create some great gifts for birthdays, anniversaries or barbecue get-togethers. We start off today with a trio of thirsty, 100% cotton towels. Sure... you can buy bundles of towels at the store, but they'll never be as cute as these or as well made. The monogrammed accent ribbon across the center gives you the power of personalization. I believe that's the secret weapon of one of the lesser-known Marvel Super Heroes.While browsing Fabric.com, we spotted the Crabtastic fabric collection by Maude Asbury for Blend Fabrics; it caught our eye because of its whimsical picnic theme. We love the bold graphics and slighted faded palette. Follow our lead or use your own super powers to personalize a set: soften the mood with florals, go tropical, or mix and match color block solids. Fabric.com has 500,000+ yards of fabric in inventory! You're sure to find one or two (or a dozen) choices to love. And remember, shipping from Fabric.com is always free on US orders of $35 or more.
Sewing Tools You Need
- Any sewing machine (we recommend the Janome DC5100)
- Quarter Inch Seam foot (optional)
Fabric and Other Supplies
NOTE: Ingredients shown below are for one towel, however, you can cut two identical towels from the yardage indicated if your motif allows two vertical cuts (two cuts parallel to the selvedge) for the main fabric and two horizontal cuts side by side for the border fabric. The only other step would be to simply double the amount of twill tape/ribbon.
- ¾ yard of 44-45" wide natural linen or cotton fabric for the main body of the towel
- ⅓ yard of 44-45" wide natural linen or cotton fabric for the border of the towel
NOTE: we used Crabastic by Maude Asbury for Blend Fabrics from Fabric.com in the following combinations. By keeping the border fabric consistent, it ties the three together into a nice set.
Towel One
Towel Two
Towel Three
Additional Supplies
- ⅔ yard of 1" wide twill tape to match accent fabrics
NOTE: The soft twill tape was a great choice to match our Crabtastic fabrics and it is very easy to stitch on should you choose to add the optional decorative monogramming. You could also use a cotton or grosgrain ribbon. You should pre-shrink your trim as well as your fabric prior to construction.
- All purpose thread to match fabrics and twill (or ribbon)
- Optional contrasting thread for decorative stitching
- See-through ruler
- Fabric pen or pencil
- Iron and ironing board
- Scissors or rotary cutter and mat
- Seam gauge
- Seam ripper
- Straight pins
Getting Started
- From the fabric for the main body of the towel, cut ONE 21" wide x 25" high rectangle.
- From the fabric for the accent band, cut the following:
ONE 21" wide x 7" high rectangle
ONE 1" x 5" strip for the hanging loop
At Your Sewing Machine & Ironing Board
- Place the accent band and main body WRONG sides together, aligning the raw edges of each piece. Pin in place.
- Stitch together with a ½" seam allowance.
NOTE: Yes, this means your seam will show on the RIGHT side of the towel. That's okay. We're going to cover it up with the twill tape and then the back will have a nice, clean finish.
- Press the seam open.
- Trim back the main body portion of the seam allowance to ¼".
- Re-press the seam allowance towards the main body.
- Create a narrow ¼" double-turn hem along all the towel sides. To do this fold the raw edge of the fabric under ¼" along all four sides and press. Fold under another ¼" and press again. Pin in place, but don't stitch yet.
NOTE: If you are new to hemming, read our tutorial: How to Make a Simple Hem. For super neat corners like ours, read our tutorials: How to Sew a Corner (aka Mitered) Hem and Clean Corners on Narrow Hems.
Create the hanging loop
- Find the 1" x 5" strip.
- Fold the strip in half lengthwise (½" x 5"), wrong sides together, and press.
- Unfold so you can see the center crease. Fold both long raw edges in to meet at the center crease. Then re-fold along the original crease, encasing the raw edges to the inside.
- Stitch through all the layers, staying close to the folded edges. We used our Janome Quarter Inch foot to keep a nice, straight line.
- Find the hemmed/pinned towel. Fold it in half to find the center of the top edge.
- Measure 1" to the left of the center fold and 1" to the right of the center fold. Mark both points with a fabric pen/pencil or pins.
- Unfold the towel so it is wrong wide up on your work surface.
- Insert the hanging loop, feeding one raw end under the folded hem at each marked point.
- NOW... you can stitch your narrow hem in place, running your seam around all four sides ¼" from the folded edge. Again, we used our Quarter Inch foot to keep the seam line consistent.
- Press the hemmed edge all around.
Covering the seam allowance with the twill tape
- Find the center of the twill tape and mark with a fabric pen/pencil or pin.
- Find the center of the towel along the seam line, and mark with a fabric pen/pencil or pin.
- The stitching along the twill tape is optional, but really cute! It's a great way to play with the decorative stitch and monogramming functions on your sewing machine. We chose three "Crabtastic" messages: Surf and Turf, Under The Sea and Ahoy Matey! If your machine doesn't have an alphabet, you could run a line of decorative stitches, such as little sailboats in a row.
- You need to follow the steps in your machine's instruction manual to set up your machine for decorative stitching. We used our Janome Memory Craft 11000 Special Edition, so all we had to do was select the "font" tab on the touchscreen and enter our message letter-by-letter. It was immediately ready to stitch out.
- We recommend testing your message on a scrap fabric to make sure you are happy with the size and the color contrast. This is also a good way to test that the length of the message will properly fit. Stitch the message in the middle of the strip, using the center mark you made above as a guide.
- Once the message is stitched, again using the center point as a guide, trim the twill tape to 22" in length. Measure twice, cut once... be extra careful to make sure your stitching is centered end to end.
- If you choose not to stitch on the tape, simply cut a 22" length.
- Place the twill tape over the seam, matching the center point mark on the tape with the center point mark on the towel. You should have about 1" extending beyond both sides. The bottom of the tape should lay directly on top of the towel seam. Pin in place.
- Bring the ends of the twill tape around to the back of the towel.
- Fold under each end of twice so it is flush with the hem and has a clean, folded edge. Pin in place.
NOTE: Our twill tape was thin enough for this double fold. If your tape or ribbon is thicker, you may only be able to fold under one time.
- Edgestitch the ribbon in place along both the top and bottom.
- Press well. We folded our towels into thirds and pressed hard creases the length of the towel so they would be easy to fold and hang.

Active Voice: Is High-Intensity Interval Training a Time-Efficient Exercise Strategy to Promote Health?
By Martin Gibala, Ph.D. Share
Viewpoints presented in SMB commentaries reflect opinions of the authors and do not necessarily reflect positions or policies of ACSM.
Martin Gibala, Ph.D., is Professor and Chair of the Department of Kinesiology at McMaster University. He studies the regulation of energy metabolism from the molecular to whole-body level and also conducts applied research that examines the impact of nutrition and training on exercise performance. He and his colleagues published a research article related to this commentary that appeared in the Oct. 2011 issue of Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise® (MSSE). For more on the topic, see Dr. Gibala's review in the April 2008 issue of ACSM's Exercise and Sports Sciences Reviews (ESSR), titled "Metabolic adaptations to short-term high-intensity interval training: a little pain for a lot of gain?"
High-intensity interval training (HIT) describes exercise that is characterized by brief, intermittent bursts of vigorous activity, interspersed by periods of rest or low-intensity exercise. HIT is infinitely variable, with the specific physiological adaptations induced by this form of training determined by various factors including the precise nature of the exercise stimulus (i.e., the intensity, duration and number of intervals performed, as well as the duration and activity patterns during recovery). When compared on a matched-work basis, or when estimated energy expenditure is equivalent, HIT can serve as an effective alternative to traditional endurance training, inducing similar or even superior changes in a range of physiological, performance and health-related markers in both healthy individuals and diseased populations.

Workouts May Not Be the Best Time for a Snack
The New York Times Share
A few weeks ago, a friend showed up for a run with a CamelBak — one of those humplike backpacks with a tube that allows you to sip liquid — and a belt containing food to eat along the way. Every 20 minutes or so as we ran, he stopped to eat and drink, sprinting afterward to catch up.
Now that is unusual, I thought. Does it really help to eat so often during a 16-mile run?
Certainly a lot of athletes believe they need constant nourishment. My friend and running partner Jen Davis, who has entered more races and run more than I ever have, once went on a 30-mile training run with a guy wearing a CamelBak and bearing snacks. He stopped every 20 minutes along the way and then, about halfway through the run, pulled out a turkey sandwich. "I'm not sure if he ever actually ran an ultra race," Jen said. "He may have gotten injured after carrying that heavy pack on those long runs." More
To Optimize Exercise, Heed Your Heart-rate Training Numbers
Reuters Share
Whether you're interested in running a marathon or staving off the chronic diseases of aging, to reap the rewards of your efforts getting into the zone is essential.
Experts say knowing and staying within your heart rate training zone is an easy way to pace the intensity of your workout.
"Exercisers need to get to at least a moderate level of physical activity in order to reap the benefits," said Dr. Adrian Hutber of the American College of Sports Medicine. "Your goal is to get to a stage where you're fit enough to exercise within your heart rate training zone." More
The Health Coach
The Boston Globe Share
This entry is the fourth in a series on health professionals who work in the author's primary care clinic.
As a Health and Wellness Coach, Ryan Sherman takes his skills from bench (press) to bedside.
In grade school, he spent much of his free time either in the midst of football and basketball seasons or training for these sports at the gym. So it wasn't a stretch for him to major in kinesiology - the study of human movement - while attending the University of New Hampshire. For his athletic training requirement, he spent a semester with the women's field hockey team and found that he grew impatient "waiting till they [were] injured and then helping them." Why not tackle the problem before it became one? His itch for prevention kept nagging at him as the years went on. More

Here is one who had a figure to play dandy. He taught the Regent( the future King William IV) how to keep the boots shiny. He insisted on champagne for his boots while the regent loved to lard his gizzard with it. No wonder their friendship was doomed.
Brummel took his appearance very seriously. It took 4 hours to adjust his cravat and another five to adjust his morals to keep up with the Regent. Poor Brummel by the time he was fitted out it was time to change his morning coat for the evening frock. Cravat of course went unnoticed among the Regency bucks whose phizz were floating in bumperful champagne.
Only those whom he impressed were the tradesmen,butcher and coachmen who thought a dandy who had so much accoutrements but no will to pay their bill has to be dunned.
O poor Beau Brummel. His cravat was a style that in our time has even changed name for the shame of it. Cravat or a choker? What is it. Both come to a tie.
Beau Brummel leads the list in my Misguided Lives of Men of Fashion

Gizmodo loves charts. This stuff holder from Artemy Lebedev, makers of the Optimus keyboard, looks like a chart of the gradually increasing diameter of my gut, from age 20-29, when you face its green side towards you. Flip it around to see the...
the red side of the chart, downward, as if it were mapping out my receding hair line, or sex drive.
Now I'm depressed. I need some junk food.

Samuel L. Jackson is keen to star in 'Star Wars Episode 7'.
The 63-year-old actor played Jedi Master Mace Windu in original director George Lucas's three prequels and has revealed he is "geeked" about there being more installments as there is a chance for his character - who was sent plunging to his death out of a chamber window by Senator Palpatine in 'Revenge of the Sith' - to make a dramatic return in the Disney sequels.
Speaking from the Spike TV Video Game Awards in Culver City, California, on Friday, Jackson told E! News: "[I'm] totally geeked by the idea of there being more 'Star Wars'.
"It's like, OK, Obi-Wan was dead when episode four started, so maybe everyone thinks I'm dead and we'll find out what happened to Mace Windu.
"I can come back as one-armed or a one-handed Jedi that's still around that didn't actually die. [I could] be a ghost hologram. I don't care. I just want to stay associated with the franchise. Not that I won't because I've been in three of them."
Jackson also expressed his love for the franchise's outer space civilization and the idea that life could be out there now.
He added: "I just always loved it. I always loved the idea of it, that there's this whole civilization out there somewhere else that's just as much fun and different and diverse and wild as we are."
Other members of the original cast, such as Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan Kenobi) and Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia), Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker) and Harrison Ford (Han Solo) have also expressed interest in returning to the popular sci-fi films.
Michael Arndt is set to pen the screenplay for the feature, which will start shooting in 2014.
