Before you're done, you'll know exactly how to create a Tantric Sacred Space and immerse yourself into a tantric ritual, sinking into your body while losing your mind.

You'll soon know how to interweave body, mind, and spirit to create powerful, ecstatic and long lasting sexual experiences, with or without sexual intercourse.

We very much want you to become the lover you want to be.

 

For Women

Do you believe that intimacy, love, and sex can be more than what you've experienced in the past? Tantra At Tahoe's authors of Supreme Bliss Tantra can help you with that.

Above all, we want you to enjoy sexual loveplay. We want you to know it's good for you. We want you to release your inhibitions, and stop holding back. We want you to remember that being alive means feeling desire, all sorts of desire. We want you to know in your gut that all sexual play is divine. We want you to celebrate your sexual essence with pride. We want you to know that all your orgasms make you healthier, more awake, and closer to All That Is that some call God or Goddess.

You can be the lover you've always dreamed of. We'll help with understanding and technique, with the sacred environment and the tools, with the way. You supply the will and the willingness and we know you'll succeed. You can be a dream lover.

~ Maybe you're not sure if you're a very sexual person.

~ Maybe you haven't particularly liked lovemaking the way you've had it.

~ Maybe you've had negative, painful experiences or just plain unsatisfying
    or unfulfilling experiences.

~ Maybe you haven't been sure how to give pleasure.

We want you to know that Supreme Bliss Tantra can be enormously healing. If you've had sexual abuse or sexual trauma in your life, Supreme Bliss Tantra can help to heal those wounds, cleanse your system, and move on with gusto. Regardless of your personal sexual history, we're convinced that Supreme Bliss Tantra can introduce you to a whole new upleveling of your sex life, forever.

 

For Men

If you're a man, you may be a little cautious about this Tantra thing. Spiritual rituals aren't the kind of thing modern guys are drawn to. Weren't you raised with the certainty that you know it all and are always on top of things? Or at least it's your job as a real man to try to always make it look that way. After all, you've learned a lot about sex over the years.

Or maybe not. Frankly, men vary enormously in their understanding about themselves, about their sexual partners, and about sex and sexual anatomy, generally and specifically. Many men are often caught between believing they're supposed to know everything and worrying that they don't.

You do have the power within you to completely fulfill both of you. Whatever the size of your member or your track record in satisfying the Goddess, you can become the lover that's lurking inside you. There is so much more than sexual technique that you're about to become immersed in.

Still, we're interested in helping you know more about the techniques of sexual pleasure. As are your current and future sexual partners. Through this eBook, you'll better understand the secrets of the masculine and feminine spirit and how to worship the God/Goddess force in your beloved. Further, we want to move your awareness beyond the average, beyond the normal, into the realms of ecstatic sex. Expect that soon you'll have mind-blowing orgasms, with or without ejaculation, where you'll lose your mind and experience the most indescribable energies.

Movie Review
Holistic Wisdom's Inside Scoop
Our Rating
Out Of Four Stars-


Shaun of the Dead

This British film is actually laugh-out-loud funny. Shaun (Simon Pegg) is a 29-year-old Londoner whose life is going nowhere. He hates his job working in an electricity showroom, he can’t get his lazy, drug-dealing mate Ed (Nick Frost) to leave his flat, and his long-suffering girlfriend Liz (Kate Ashfield) wants him to sort himself out – or else. After Shaun forgets to book a table for their anniversary meal, Liz dumps him; that’s only the start of a bad day however, as Shaun begins to notice that London has been overrun by flesh-eating zombies. I know this sounds ridiculous, but if you enjoy Monty Python, than this modern approach to humor is really worth your time.

Dear Lisa,

I look forward to receiving your news letter and receive a lot of information from every one Thank you. I am now wanting to know if you can help me as I have a bit of a problem.

I recently went to our family doctor regarding prostrate problem that appears to be a family problem as both my older brothers and my dad have got enlargement of the prostate. I was wondering if you had any information regarding this matter ie-any side effects if I have to have minor surgery.

He has given me the name of a specialist/professor to see and I am a little concerned as to what the out come will be. I am 51 at the moment and am a little concerned. My doctor did say that I will not be able to ejaculate semen any more after ti has been scraped but will still have feelings. I presumed he meant that I will still have an orgasm but nothing will come out but air.

I am feeling a little down at the moment as I am not looking forward to the prospect of not cumming My wife and I still have a pretty good sex life and I am worried that will diminish. I have purchased a few toys from you over the past 2 years and we have a lot of fun with them. I will be seeing the specialist JAN 17 2005. I know that it is not giving you much time to reply but Deb, my wife suggested that I eMail you seeing that I get a lot of info from you. Have a merry Christmas and a happy new year and I hope to hear from you real soon. Once again thank you for being there for us to write to.

ROB Australia

 

Hi Rob,

 

Lisa S. Lawless, Ph.D., CEO

 

To answer your question and for the benefit of our readers I thought I would do a bit of background information for you and all of our male readers in addition to the treatment options. However, before I list that information, I wanted to let you know that there is an alternative herb that many men have used with a high level of success in reducing the size of their prostate.

Of course you should speak about it with your physician before using it, but I thought to mention it as many doctors in my opinion of often too quick to recommend surgery when alternatives are available. Below is the name of the herb and information about it in addition to more information on the prostate, the condition in which you describe and traditional treatment options as well as sexual side effects of surgery.

Pygeum Bark

Also Known as: Pygeum africanum

Pygeum is an evergreen tree found in the higher elevations of central and southern Africa. The bark is used in the treatment.

In what conditions might pygeum be supportive?

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

Historical or traditional use:

The powdered bark was used as a tea for relief of urinary disorders. European scientists were so impressed with reports of pygeum’s actions that they began laboratory investigations into the active constituents in the bark. This led to the development of the modern lipophilic (fat soluble) extract used today.

How much should I take?

The accepted form of pygeum used in Europe for treatment of BPH is a lipophilic extract standardized to 13% total sterols (typically calculated as beta-sitosterol). The recommended dose is 50-100 mg two times per day. Pygeum should be monitored over at least a six- to nine-month period to determine efficacy. As is the case with all BPH treatments, close medical supervision is of the utmost importance.

Extensive research agrees with the long tradition of using Saw Palmetto and Pygeum extracts together to improve urine flow and prostate health. The misture of sterol compounds in Pygeum naturally complement the prostate support of Saw Palmetto.

Are there any side effects or interactions?

Side effects to the lipophilic extract of pygeum are rare. In clinical studies, there were very rare reports of mild gastrointestinal irritation in some patients

.

 

 

What Is The Prostate Gland?

The prostate is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system. The gland is made of two lobes, or regions, enclosed by an outer layer of tissue.

As the diagram shows below, the prostate is located in front of the rectum and just below the bladder, where urine is stored. The prostate also surrounds the urethra, the canal through which urine passes out of the body.

Scientists do not know all the prostate's functions. One of its main roles, though, is to squeeze fluid into the urethra as sperm move through during sexual climax. This fluid, which helps make up semen, energizes the sperm and makes the vaginal canal less acidic.

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia:

A common part of aging for a man is for the prostate gland to become enlarged. Doctors call the condition benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or benign prostatic hypertrophy.

Normal urine flow. Urine flow with BPH. As a man matures, the prostate goes through two main periods of growth. The first occurs early in puberty, when the prostate doubles in size.

At around age 25, the gland begins to grow again. This second growth phase often results, years later, in BPH. Though the prostate continues to grow during most of a man's life, the enlargement doesn't usually cause problems until late in life.

BPH rarely causes symptoms before age 40, but more than half of men in their sixties and as many as 90 percent in their seventies and eighties have some symptoms of BPH.

As the prostate enlarges, the layer of tissue surrounding it stops it from expanding, causing the gland to press against the urethra like a clamp on a garden hose. The bladder wall becomes thicker and irritable. The bladder begins to contract even when it contains small amounts of urine, causing more frequent urination.

Eventually, the bladder weakens and loses the ability to empty itself. Urine remains in the bladder. The narrowing of the urethra and partial emptying of the bladder cause many of the problems associated with BPH.

Many people feel uncomfortable talking about the prostate, since the gland plays a role in both sex and urination. Still, prostate enlargement is as common a part of aging as gray hair. As life expectancy rises, so does the occurrence of BPH. In the United States in 2000, there were 4.5 million visits to a physician for BPH.

Symptoms

Many symptoms of BPH stem from obstruction of the urethra and gradual loss of bladder function, which results in incomplete emptying of the bladder. The symptoms of BPH vary, but the most common ones involve changes or problems with urination, such as a hesitant, interrupted, weak stream urgency and leaking or dribbling more frequent urination, especially at night.

The size of the prostate does not always determine how severe the obstruction or the symptoms will be. Some men with greatly enlarged glands have little obstruction and few symptoms while others, whose glands are less enlarged, have more blockage and greater problems. Sometimes a man may not know he has any obstruction until he suddenly finds himself unable to urinate at all. This condition, called acute urinary retention, may be triggered by taking over-the-counter cold or allergy medicines. Such medicines contain a decongestant drug, known as a sympathomimetic.

A potential side effect of this drug may be to prevent the bladder opening from relaxing and allowing urine to empty. When partial obstruction is present, urinary retention also can be brought on by alcohol, cold temperatures, or a long period of immobility.

That is why it is important for a man to tell their doctor about urinary problems such as those described above. In 8 out of 10 cases, these symptoms suggest BPH, but they also can signal other, more serious conditions that require prompt treatment.

These conditions, including prostate cancer, can be ruled out only by a doctor's exam. Severe BPH can cause serious problems over time. Urine retention and strain on the bladder can lead to urinary tract infections, bladder or kidney damage, bladder stones, and incontinence. If the bladder is permanently damaged, treatment for BPH may be ineffective. When BPH is found in its earlier stages, there is a lower risk of developing such complications.

Diagnosis

You may first notice symptoms of BPH yourself, or your doctor may find that your prostate is enlarged during a routine checkup. When BPH is suspected, you may be referred to a urologist, a doctor who specializes in problems of the urinary tract and the male reproductive system. Several tests help the doctor identify the problem and decide whether surgery is needed. The tests vary from patient to patient, but the following are the most common.

Digital Rectal Exam (DRE)

This exam is usually the first test done. The doctor inserts a gloved finger into the rectum and feels the part of the prostate next to the rectum. This exam gives the doctor a general idea of the size and condition of the gland.

Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA)

Blood Test To rule out cancer as a cause of urinary symptoms, your doctor may recommend a PSA blood test. PSA, a protein produced by prostate cells, is frequently present at elevated levels in the blood of men who have prostate cancer.

Rectal Ultrasound

If there is a suspicion of prostate cancer, your doctor may recommend a test with rectal ultrasound. In this procedure, a probe inserted in the rectum directs sound waves at the prostate. The echo patterns of the sound waves form an image of the prostate gland on a display screen.

Urine Flow Study

Sometimes the doctor will ask a patient to urinate into a special device that measures how quickly the urine is flowing. A reduced flow often suggests BPH.

Cystoscopy

In this exam, the doctor inserts a small tube through the opening of the urethra in the penis. This procedure is done after a solution numbs the inside of the penis so all sensation is lost. The tube, called a cystoscope, contains a lens and a light system, which help the doctor see the inside of the urethra and the bladder. This test allows the doctor to determine the size of the gland and identify the location and degree of the obstruction.

Treatment Options

The following section describes the types of treatment that are most commonly used for BPH.

Drug Treatment

Over the years, researchers have tried to find a way to shrink or at least stop the growth of the prostate without using surgery. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved several drugs to relieve common symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate.

Finasteride, FDA-approved in 1992 (marketed under the name Proscar)

Dutasteride, FDA-approved in 2001 (marketed as Avodart)

Terazosin (marketed as Hytrin) in 1993

Doxazosin (marketed as Cardura) in 1995

Tamsulosin (marketed as Flomax) in 1997

Alfuzosin (marketed as Uroxatral) in 2003

The drugs act by relaxing the smooth muscle of the prostate and bladder neck to improve urine flow and to reduce bladder outlet obstruction.

 

Minimally Invasive Therapy

Because drug treatment is not effective in all cases, researchers in recent years have developed a number of procedures that relieve BPH symptoms but are less invasive than conventional surgery.

Transurethral Microwave Procedures

In May 1996, FDA approved the Prostatron, a device that uses microwaves to heat and destroy excess prostate tissue. In the procedure called transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT), the Prostatron sends computer-regulated microwaves through a catheter to heat selected portions of the prostate to at least 111 degrees Fahrenheit. A cooling system protects the urinary tract during the procedure.

The Targis System

Like the Prostatron, the Targis System delivers microwaves to destroy selected portions of the prostate and uses a cooling system to protect the urethra. A heat-sensing device inserted in the rectum helps monitor the therapy. Both procedures take about 1 hour and can be performed on an outpatient basis without general anesthesia.

Neither procedure has been reported to lead to impotence or incontinence. Although microwave therapy does not cure BPH, it reduces urinary frequency, urgency, straining, and intermittent flow.

It does not correct the problem of incomplete emptying of the bladder. Ongoing research will determine any long-term effects of microwave therapy and who might benefit most from this therapy.

 

Transurethral Needle Ablation

In October 1996, FDA approved Vidamed's minimally invasive Transurethral Needle Ablation (TUNA) System for the treatment of BPH. The TUNA System delivers low-level radiofrequency energy through twin needles to burn away a well-defined region of the enlarged prostate. Shields protect the urethra from heat damage. The TUNA System improves urine flow and relieves symptoms with fewer side effects when compared with transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). No incontinence or impotence has been observed.

 

Surgical Treatment

Most doctors recommend removal of the enlarged part of the prostate as the best long-term solution for patients with BPH. With surgery for BPH, only the enlarged tissue that is pressing against the urethra is removed; the rest of the inside tissue and the outside capsule are left intact.

Surgery usually relieves the obstruction and incomplete emptying caused by BPH. The following section describes the types of surgery that are used.

Transurethral Surgery

In this type of surgery, no external incision is needed. After giving anesthesia, the surgeon reaches the prostate by inserting an instrument through the urethra. A procedure called TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate) is used for 90 percent of all prostate surgeries done for BPH.

With TURP, an instrument called a resectoscope is inserted through the penis. The resectoscope, which is about 12 inches long and 1/2 inch in diameter, contains a light, valves for controlling irrigating fluid, and an electrical loop that cuts tissue and seals blood vessels.

During the 90-minute operation, the surgeon uses the resectoscope's wire loop to remove the obstructing tissue one piece at a time. The pieces of tissue are carried by the fluid into the bladder and then flushed out at the end of the operation. Most doctors suggest using TURP whenever possible.

Transurethral procedures are less traumatic than open forms of surgery and require a shorter recovery period.

Another surgical procedure is called transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP). Instead of removing tissue, as with TURP, this procedure widens the urethra by making a few small cuts in the bladder neck, where the urethra joins the bladder, and in the prostate gland itself. Although some people believe that TUIP gives the same relief as TURP with less risk of side effects such as retrograde ejaculation, its advantages and long-term side effects have not been clearly established.

 

Open Surgery

In the few cases when a transurethral procedure cannot be used, open surgery, which requires an external incision, may be used. Open surgery is often done when the gland is greatly enlarged, when there are complicating factors, or when the bladder has been damaged and needs to be repaired. The location of the enlargement within the gland and the patient's general health help the surgeon decide which of the three open procedures to use. With all the open procedures, anesthesia is given and an incision is made. Once the surgeon reaches the prostate capsule, he scoops out the enlarged tissue from inside the gland.

 

Laser Surgery

In March 1996, FDA approved a surgical procedure that employs side-firing laser fibers and Nd: YAG lasers to vaporize obstructing prostate tissue. The doctor passes the laser fiber through the urethra into the prostate using a cystoscope and then delivers several bursts of energy lasting 30 to 60 seconds. The laser energy destroys prostate tissue and causes shrinkage. Like TURP, laser surgery requires anesthesia and a hospital stay. One advantage of laser surgery over TURP is that laser surgery causes little blood loss. Laser surgery also allows for a quicker recovery time. But laser surgery may not be effective on larger prostates. The long-term effectiveness of laser surgery is not known.

 

Sexual Function

After surgery many men worry about whether surgery for BPH will affect their ability to enjoy sex. Some sources state that sexual function is rarely affected, while others claim that it can cause problems in up to 30 percent of all cases. However, most doctors say that even though it takes awhile for sexual function to return fully, with time, most men are able to enjoy sex again.

Complete recovery of sexual function may take up to 1 year, lagging behind a person's general recovery. The exact length of time depends on how long after symptoms appeared that BPH surgery was done and on the type of surgery. Following is a summary of how surgery is likely to affect the following aspects of sexual function.

Erections

Most doctors agree that if you were able to maintain an erection shortly before surgery, you will probably be able to have erections afterward. Surgery rarely causes a loss of erectile function. However, surgery cannot usually restore function that was lost before the operation.

Ejaculation

Although most men are able to continue having erections after surgery, a prostatectomy frequently makes them sterile (unable to father children) by causing a condition called "retrograde ejaculation" or "dry climax." During sexual activity, sperm from the testes enters the urethra near the opening of the bladder. Normally, a muscle blocks off the entrance to the bladder, and the semen is expelled through the penis. However, the coring action of prostate surgery cuts this muscle as it widens the neck of the bladder.

Following surgery, the semen takes the path of least resistance and enters the wider opening to the bladder rather than being expelled through the penis. Later it is harmlessly flushed out with urine. In some cases, this condition can be treated with a drug called pseudoephedrine, found in many cold medicines, or imipramine. These drugs improve muscle tone at the bladder neck and keep semen from entering the bladder.

Orgasm

Most men find little or no difference in the sensation of orgasm, or sexual climax, before and after surgery. Although it may take some time to get used to retrograde ejaculation, you should eventually find sex as pleasurable after surgery as before. Many people have found that concerns about sexual function can interfere with sex as much as the operation itself. Understanding the surgical procedure and talking over any worries with the doctor before surgery often help men regain sexual function earlier. Many men also find it helpful to talk to a counselor during the adjustment period after surgery.

 

BPH and Prostate Cancer: No Apparent Relation

It is important to note that although some of the signs of BPH and prostate cancer are the same, having BPH does not seem to increase the chances of getting prostate cancer. Nevertheless, a man who has BPH may have undetected prostate cancer at the same time or may develop prostate cancer in the future.

For this reason, the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society recommend that all men over 40 have a rectal exam once a year to screen for prostate cancer. After BPH surgery, the tissue removed is routinely checked for hidden cancer cells. In about 1 out of 10 cases, some cancer tissue is found, but often it is limited to a few cells of a nonaggressive type of cancer, and no treatment is needed.

WOW!!!!!

I was glancing at the Book Female Ejaculation as I was so excited about receiving it. I honestly did not open up anything else for about 30 minutes. The book is great thank you for writing about this. I was gushing and squirting about 4 yrs. ago but stopped. So thought I might need a (lol) refresher course....as I am 50 now. Thanks!

Hi Lisa,            Re.: Diaphram "Ask Lisa Question" In The 12-19-04 Newsletter

As a health care professional I was trained to fit women for diaphragms. I never felt comfortable with assuring the woman that this would be her best birth control choice, and liked to follow up regularly on women I fitted with diaphragms. They are tricky to size, they are awkward to insert, they are not completely trustworthy and require second contraception, spermicide. Many women have really not explored their body, are unfamiliar with their vaginas, their cervixes and are not always "comfortable" with them.

 

 

Hi,

I am writing to you a quick note to thank you from both my husband Kaulana and myself. We want to say thank you because we ordered your instructional video on female ejaculation and since we viewed the movie together we have had some of the most intense sexual experiences.

Prior to purchasing this video I honestly have never heard of female ejaculation, in fact if someone was to say that phrase to me I would have assumed that meant to have an orgasm. Boy would I have been wrong!

My husband has always looked for different ways to satisfy me and we actually fulfilled one of his fantasy's as well when I was able to have my first experience with female ejaculation. It actually worked on the first night, on the second attempt but on the first night!

Well, I don't want to take too much of your time but my husband had mentioned that he wanted to send you an e-mail to say thank you and that it actually worked!! We are BOTH extremely grateful.

Have a wonderful Xmas !

Amanda and Kaulana

New Moms Who Smoke Have Colicky Babies

A new study suggests that parents who smoke might want to try kicking the tobacco habit. "Mothers who smoke during pregnancy are twice as likely to have toddlers and infants who are colicky as women who do not smoke during pregnancy," concluded researcher Edmond Shenassa, an epidemiologist at Brown University Medical School.

 


Naked Twister On Radio Gets FCC Fines

Federal regulators on Wednesday proposed a $220,000 indecency fine against the owner of two Kansas radio stations for broadcasting a ``Naked Twister'' game with local strippers and graphic interviews with porn stars.

The Federal Communications Commission said the material, which aired during the "Dare and Murphy Show,'' was indecent and clearly intended to "pander to and titillate the audience.'' The commission cited four broadcasts during April and May of 2002.

They aired on stations KQRC-FM in Westwood, Kan., and KFH-AM in Wichita, Kansas - owned by Entercom Communications Corp., based in Bala Cynwyd, Pa. The agency proposed a $27,500 fine - the maximum allowed at the time - for each of the four broadcasts by the two stations for a total penalty of $220,000. The commission said the ``Naked Twister'' broadcast dwelled on descriptions of female genitalia and breasts in an explicit and graphic manner.

Other broadcasts the FCC reviewed included interviews with porn actors Ron Jeremy and Dave Cummings. The commission also noted Entercom's history of prior indecent broadcasts. In September 2002, the FCC fined the company $12,000 for broadcasting indecent material on a Seattle station. The show had already been replaced when the station learned about the FCC investigation a month or two ago, he said.

 


Anticensorship Defense Committee Pledges Matching Funds to Free Speech Coalition

The Free Speech Coalition (FSC) has scored a major victory in its fight to keep Adult product freely available to consenting adults.

“The Anticensorship Defense Committee (AC/DC) has pledged up to $75,000 in matching funds to support the legal challenge to 18 USC 2257,” announced FSC Executive Director Michelle L. Freridge in a statement.

The federal Recordkeeping and Labeling Law, 18 U.S.C. 2257, became a major concern to the Adult industry again in June of 2004, when the Justice Department published proposed changes to the 2257 regulations and asked for comment from the public.

“The new regulations are impossible to follow,” asserted Jeffrey J. Douglas, First Amendment attorney and Chair of the FSC Board of Directors, "and in at least one instance, defy an unchallenged decision of the Tenth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. The Adult industry simply cannot live with these new regulations."

In August, FSC and several attorneys, including Reed Lee, Lawrence Walters and Clyde DeWitt, submitted comments on the proposed regulations. The FSC Board, after consulting several Adult industry lawyers, then authorized the pursuit of two challenges to the new regulations, to be handled by veteran litigators Paul Cambria and H. Louis Sirkin, as soon as the final regulations are announced. Sirkin successfully argued FSC's challenge to the unconstitutional sections of the Child Pornography Prevention Act before the US Supreme Court.

“The new proposed 2257 regulations raise serious constitutional questions, are contrary to case law, and have cast a chilling effect on Adult video and Internet productions,” stated Robert A. DePiano, the attorney representing AC/DC. “Accordingly, AC/DC is pleased to assist in this anti-censorship fight.”

According to Freridge, AC/DC’s generous contribution will cover more than 37 percent of the total $200,000 in funding needed, and will help FSC leverage additional support by matching the donations of others.

To date FSC supporters, including Marina Pacific, New Sensations, Broadcasting Concepts, Wicked Pictures and Caballero Home Video, have donated $25,000 to the fund. With AC/DC's match, a total of $50,000 has been raised so far. For more information or to join FSC, please visit www.FreeSpeechCoalition

 


Exotic Dancers Required To Wear Permits

Reuters, 12/20/04 SAN ANTONIO, TX

A new exotic dance ordinance here bans nude dancing as well as lap dancing and sets up a 3-foot distance requirement between dancers and patrons, regulations which are similar to those in some other cities. And in a twist we haven’t seen before, dancers will be required to carry permits with them while performing.

The driver’s license sized permits will cost $50 each. They may be attached to G-strings, or to bracelets around the dancer’s ankles. Jim DeeGear, attorney for 12 of San Antonio’s exotic dance clubs, said he would seek to have the rules declared unconstitutional. “It’s easy to pick on these people because a lot of people say, ‘well, we don’t much care for the way they earn their living,’” DeeGear said.

The action by the city council is seen by some as an effort to discourage clubs and curb their numbers. “My constituents are tired of seeing these clubs drive down their property values,” said city council member Chip Haas.

 


Protest Against Nude Lamp On Governor's Desk

From Richard Leiby, The Washington Post, 12/19/04

In Montpelier, VT officials at Washington’s Corcoran Gallery of Art are protesting plans by Vermont Republican Governor James Douglas to banish from his statehouse desk a lamp that replicates “The Greek Slave,” a famed statue by Hiram Powers depicting a chained, naked young woman. “Since 1873 the Corcoran Gallery of Art has proudly counted one of Powers’ original Greek Slave sculptures in its own collection and joins the White House and the US Capitol as exhibitors of his work,” said David C. Levy, the Corcoran’s director. Sculpted by the Vermont-born Powers in 1843, the statue depicts a Greek girl enslaved by the Turks, and it became a symbol of the state’s abolition movement. Vermont historians and preservationists -- including Liz Jeffords, wife of Senator Jim Jeffords (I-Vt.) and Polly Billings, wife of senior federal judge Franklin Billings -- are petitioning the governor to reverse course.

 


Vaginal Birth After C-Section Poses Risks

Women who attempt to deliver their babies vaginally after a Caesarean section face some health threats to themselves and their babies, although those risks are small. A new study has confirmed that the rate of a uterine rupture, one of the most serious consequences of a C-section, is between 0.5 and 1 percent.

Women undertaking trial of labor need to consider several factors, including the risk of a serious event for her or her newborn. Although most uterine ruptures can be repaired, some require a hysterectomy. More importantly, however, uterine rupture can cause death or brain damage in the fetus.

"For women undergoing trial of labor, the overall risk of one of these serious adverse outcomes at term is one in 2,000 trials of labor," Landon said. "For many women, that level of risk is clearly acceptable, with the benefit being a potential vaginal birth with shorter recovery, less hospitalization, and the satisfaction that goes with vaginal delivery itself. For other women, any level of potentially preventable fetal risk is unacceptable."

Universal Pictures/DreamWorks Pictures

The makers and stars behind the runaway hit of 2000, Meet the Parents, are re-united-and joined by some formidable future in-laws in the the follow-up comedy, Meet the Fockers.

Now that Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) is "in" with his soon-to-be in-laws, Jack (Robert De Niro) and Dina (Blythe Danner) Byrnes, it looks like smooth sailing for him and his fiancée, Pam (Teri Polo).

But that's before Pam's parents meet Greg's parents, Bernie and Roz Focker (Hoffman and Streisand). The hyper-relaxed Fockers and the tightly-wound Byrneses are woefully mismatched from the start, and no matter how hard Greg and Pam try, there is just no bringing their families together-which all adds up to a disastrously funny time of "getting to know you."

We learn that Bernie Focker (Hoffman) is a retired legal-aid lawyer and Roz Focker (Streisand) is a sex therapist for seniors.

In keeping with Roz Focker's profession as a sex therapist for Seniors, these blue shapes are Liberator Shapes.

A screen capture from ACCESS HOLLYWOOD (below) shows the blue shapes on the floor. There are two blue ones on the left, and a cone-shaped one just below Barbara's arm on the right of the screen.
