            <title>Good Character or Great Body – What Are We Teaching Our Kids?</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=5159654&amp;cid=t_128235_136_f&amp;fid=36032&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.everydayhealth.com%2Fblog%2Flife-with-breast-cancer%2Fgood-character-or-great-body-what-are-we-teaching-our-kids%2F</link>
            <description>When I was a teenager, all the girls my age were concerned about the size of their breasts, their weight, and how they looked. Thirty years later, teenage girls are still obsessed with the same thing. How sad &amp;mdash; if only young women were more interested in becoming intelligent, caring human beings! Not that these young women don’t care about both their bodies and global issues, it is just that body image has such an effect on how they feel about themselves and can even impact what they accomplish with their education and careers.
Breast cancer has a dual effect on women who are diagnosed. On the one hand it affects our wellbeing and health, but on the other it impacts how we feel about ourselves as women especially because of the disfigurement of our breasts. I wonder if it would be ...</description>

            <title>New York State Wants To Dictate What Doctors Can Wear</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=4893450&amp;cid=t_128235_87_f&amp;fid=39187&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fgetbetterhealth.com%2Fnew-york-state-wants-to-dictate-what-doctors-can-wear%2F2011.06.03</link>
            <description>From AMA Medical News:
New York physicians may have to take off their neckties, jewelry, wristwatches and long-sleeved white coats when caring for patients if a bill under consideration in the state legislature becomes law.
The bill, proposed in April in the state Senate, calls for a &amp;#8220;hygienic dress code council&amp;#8221; within the New York Health Dept. to consider advancing a ban on neckties and requiring physicians and other health professionals to adopt a &amp;#8220;bare below the elbow&amp;#8221; dress code in an effort to slash hospital-acquired infections.
Even though there&amp;#8217;s no data that this does anything to reduce hospital acquired infections.
But that doesn&amp;#8217;t matter.
So why stop there? I say, doctors should do the ultimate for their patients: the Full Monty.

            <title>How To Hide An Insulin Pump Under A Wedding Dress</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=4841475&amp;cid=t_128235_87_f&amp;fid=39187&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fgetbetterhealth.com%2Fhow-to-hide-an-insulin-pump-under-a-wedding-dress%2F2011.05.19</link>
            <description>Yesterday I wrote about my wedding, focusing on the parts that meant the most to me:  the man I love, our families and friends, the church service, saying &amp;#8220;I do,&amp;#8221; and dancing ourselves silly at the reception.
But diabetes was a part of my wedding day.  We did our best to keep it quiet and unnoticed, though, using several tricky methods.  I&amp;#8217;m like a diabetes wedding magician &amp;#8230; sort of.
First things first:  the dress.  Wearing an insulin pump is the easiest and least intrusive way for me to take my insulin, and I wasn&amp;#8217;t about to go off the pump just for the sake of fashion.  My solution?  Design a pocket to hold my insulin pump, hidden in my wedding dress.  I spoke with the seamstress at Ye Olde Bridal Shoppe and she and I designed something that left th...</description>

            <description>I spent a lot of yesterday going up to Columbus and back with Betsy and Bunny [her mom] and Betsy&amp;#8217;s friend Megan to get Betsy&amp;#8217;s wedding dress. It is very pretty — strapless and with curved layers of ruffles that I don&amp;#8217;t know how to describe. She was looking at veils too but don&amp;#8217;t know if she&amp;#8217;s made any decisions on it.
The dress hangs in my cedar closet right by the box that contains my own dress which I haven&amp;#8217;t looked at since my wedding day. I am afraid that it is still full of mud. I can only hope the cleaners were able to deal with it. On top of the wedding dress box is my yellow and white formal evening dress for my debut party, and the white dress for the Bachelor&amp;#8217;s Cotillion is hanging on the rod. Betsy&amp;#8217;s future is hanging out there ...</description>

            <description>Today I discovered a massive amount of information — massive definitely in comparison with what I had known up till now — about my own grandparents. I discovered this information this afternoon while wandering through the Museum&amp;#8217;s Wedded Perfection exhibit, consisting of wedding dresses of various past times. My grandmother&amp;#8217;s wedding dress is among them, and is stunning to see. With any luck I will remember to paste it into this post at the end.
Today, I read the book that accompanies the exhibition and found out: not only were my grandparents married in 1906, but on May 26th. Her father and her uncles ran a slaughterhouse; pigs, mostly. She was at least 26 — I couldn&amp;#8217;t do the mental arithmetic on the dates. She was tiny, much more so than I remember, but then havin...</description>

            <description>My new post on Politics Daily / Woman Up. A Royal Wedding: Why Can&amp;#8217;t We Have One Too?
Prince William will marry his longtime girlfriend Kate Middleton. And so an industry is born.
Princess Diana&amp;#039;s wedding dress
Nature abhors a vacuum, and I say it&amp;#8217;s time we admit that America needs a royal family too. The sooner the better, since reality and talent shows on TV will keep tossing out crooners, hoofers and wannabes until we get the hint and finally crown somebody. If the candidacy of media gadabout Christine O&amp;#8217;Donnell for the UNITED STATES SENATE (sorry) didn&amp;#8217;t wake us up to the need for a way to showcase our well-groomed, glad-handing women, I don&amp;#8217;t know what will.
It&amp;#8217;s been (literally!) centuries since King George III yanked our chain. I&amp;#8217;ve t...</description>

            <title>How To Feel Great Every Time You Get Dressed</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=4119787&amp;cid=t_128235_180_f&amp;fid=38612&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2Fpickthebrain%2FLYVv%2F%7E3%2FbNVImus_xQo%2F</link>
            <description>Did you know you can instantly feel a lot better about your body simply by choosing clothes that fit and flatter you now, rather than putting it off until you reach some ideal weight?
Or that the best way to exude sexuality and confidence is not by squeezing into skin tight clothes but finding outfits that work with your body?
Perhaps you feel like it would be shallow or frivolous to worry too much about the way clothes look on your body. There are no laws insisting you have to care much about clothing to be happy and confident.
However, most of us do feel better if we spend just a little time on our appearance.
Many people find themselves stuck in a perpetually low cycle of self esteem. When we don’t feel good about ourselves, we either:

            <description>This morning, we went to the Cincinnati Art Museum to see their new exhibit of wedding dresses. My grandmother&amp;#8217;s dress is one of them, and I got to take a good picture of it, defying (with the curator&amp;#8217;s permission) the guard&amp;#8217;s no-photo policy. Here it is, from 1906&amp;#8230;

            <title>10 Things We Want to Do This Weekend</title>

            <description>We&amp;#8217;ve been waiting all week for these upcoming two glorious days of fun and laziness — and they&amp;#8217;re almost here. We want to get all this stuff done this weekend, but we&amp;#8217;ve got to be honest: We might end up trashing all our plans and taking a two-day nap instead.

Save some money.
An easy way to save some dough would be to bring our lunches to work. This weekend we&amp;#8217;ll be stocking up on everything we need to brown bag it while still being kind to the environment.

Change our sheets.
Even though we do it as often as we should (we&amp;#8217;re not that gross), we may as well do it during our free time this weekend. Maybe we&amp;#8217;ll even take this opportunity to buy some organic sheets.

Wear our favorite jeans.
We may not get to wear our worn-out, patched-up jeans to wor...</description>

            <description>Recently, a colleague handed me an article entitled, “10 Signs You Work In a Fear-Based Workplace.” I chuckled as I started reading, then gasped. My office fit eight of the ten signs listed.
I knew my office was kooky. But isn&amp;#8217;t everyone&amp;#8217;s? I&amp;#8217;d been working there for about three months, and my first hint that things were a little odd was when my boss led me into a conference room and, in hushed tones, asked me about an e-mail our vice president had sent. “What do you think Paul meant in his email?” she asked. This must be some sort of trick question, I decided. I answered, “Um, what he wrote in the email?” Silly me. Turns out, the V.P. meant exactly the opposite of what he had written. “You have to read between the lines,” said my boss, as if this explaine...</description>

            <description>For his sake, we&amp;#39;re hoping she doesn&amp;#39;t need a diaper. Photo: Thinkstock
We&amp;#8217;ve heard of brides enlisting a bridesmaid or two (or four) to help her use the bathroom when she&amp;#8217;s all decked out on her big day. But bridal diapers? Marie Claire reported that some bridal shops actually sell bridal diapers so the bride doesn&amp;#8217;t have to be bothered to even try to pee while wearing her wedding gown.
This ranks pretty high on our list of truly disgusting things. First of all, you&amp;#8217;re going to smell like piss (we hope not #2!) during your first dance as husband and wife. Brides are supposed to smell like butterflies and daffodils, or at least some kind of fresh scent. And when exactly would be a good time to wet your pants – during your wedding vows or the chicken dance?...</description>

            <title>Tuesday’s Tip: Dressed for Productivity</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3236134&amp;cid=t_128235_180_f&amp;fid=38610&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.productivity501.com%2Ftuesdays-tip-dressed-for-productivity%2F188%2F</link>
            <description>You&amp;#8217;ve heard of &amp;#8220;Dressed for Success.&amp;#8221; Well, what about &amp;#8220;Dressed for Productivity?&amp;#8221; I think that the way we dress can have a big impact on our performance. Where I went to college required that all the guys wear ties and all the gals wear dresses to class. There was quite a bit of debate among the students about whether this was really beneficial or not.

Many students met the dress code to the letter, but were extremely sloppy in the way that the were dressed. Overall, it would probably be impossible to tell if having a dress code helped make anyone a better student (although it helped guarantee that all the guys knew how to tie a tie by the time they graduated.)
Personally though, I know that my performance is sometimes influenced by how I&amp;#8217;m dressed. I...</description>

            <description>I was at a Toastmasters meeting the other day and one of our long time members was giving a speech about creating the ultimate presentation. His voice was smooth and his words were strong and right to the point. He used pauses and had great gestures. He urged us all to take our speaking skills to the next level.
He kept asking… “Are you willing to do what it takes to succeed.”
Point after point he hammered us with thoughtful questions.
It was a very powerful speech!
There was only one problem.
He was dressed in jeans and a tee shirt.
What he said didn’t match with his presence with the audience.
When I saw him I couldn’t help but think of some of the people that I have interviewed for job positions where I work and the way they would dress for an interview or hands-on test.
I’v...</description>

            <description>School officials denied student Pete Palmer the right to wear a shirt supporting John Edwards&amp;#8217;s presidential campaign at his Dallas-area high school. They cited the district&amp;#8217;s dress code, which prohibited messages on student clothing except for those that supported school activities or district-approved organizations, clubs or teams.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit agreed with the school district that this was a reasonable &amp;#8220;time, place and manner&amp;#8221; speech restriction. Applying the test from United States v. O&amp;#8217;Brien, the court found that the dress code was content- and viewpoint-neutral, and served an important governmental purpose. Palmer now seeks Supreme Court review, citing seemingly contradictory precedents from the Second and Third Circuits...</description>

            <title>Sewing Patterns for Nursing Clothes</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2730058&amp;cid=t_128235_87_f&amp;fid=36050&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.blisstree.com%2Fbreastfeeding123%2Fsewing-patterns-for-nursing-clothes%2F</link>
            <description>Even a beginning sewer can sew nursing clothes for herself or as a baby shower gift. While special nursing clothes are certainly not necessary (and can be very pricey!), these patterns provide a frugal option for nursing mothers. In addition to the free instructions for breastfeeding projects available here on Breastfeeding 1-2-3, I have compiled a list of sources for sewing patterns for breastfeeding clothes.

            <title>Learning to love myself after breast cancer</title>

            <description>I was looking for a dress for an upcoming wedding yesterday and was appalled when I got into the dressing room to find that none of them fit. I seemed to have put on almost a whole dress size over the winter. That wasn’t the part that bothered me the most though; I was more upset with how I talked to myself and how angry with myself I was. That got me to thinking that I should treat myself better. I’ve been through a lot.
Actually, I have been trying to treat myself well lately. I have done all of the necessary tune-ups like seeing the dentist and the eye doctor as well as ensuring that I am eating enough fruits and vegetables, all though obviously too much.  I guess the one thing that is lacking in my relationship with myself is respect and I really deserve it. After all, I got mysel...</description>

            <title>Threats to a Free Society, Small and Large</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2270280&amp;cid=t_128235_87_f&amp;fid=36438&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FCato-at-liberty%2F%7E3%2F36GM__ukhX4%2F</link>
            <description>Limited government and individual liberty are under such a sustained attack today that it&amp;#8217;s easy to miss some of the small but truly nefarious assaults on the most basic freedom to be left alone.  After all, when the federal government seems determined to socialize much of the economy and control the rest of it, who cares about some local nanny-state restrictions?
Yet the willingness to override individual liberty in seemingly &amp;#8220;small&amp;#8221; matters reflects the same statist philosophy behind large assaults on the free society.  It&amp;#8217;s important to fight the battles, both small and large.
One of the latest political fads is setting public dress standards.  Writes Greg Beato for Reason online:
What else is the law but a metaphorical belt designed to uphold proprietary and ...</description>

            <title>Heart(y) celebrity of the month: Jane Krakowski GOES for RED</title>

            <description>It&amp;#8217;s been a while since we had a celebrity feature in this blog. It&amp;#8217;s not that we lack celebrities who are also health advocates. It&amp;#8217;s just that there are so many other heart(y) topics to write about.
But with the heart month coming to an end, I would like to feature Jane Krakowski, star of the Emmy-award winning comedy &amp;#8220;30 Rock&amp;#8221; as our heart(y) celebrity for March.
An accomplished Tony-winning actress, dancer and singer who&amp;#8217;s been pouring her heart into her craft since age 16, Jane is most inspired to advocate for women&amp;#8217;s heart health by the strong women she works with every day. In fact, she is a long-time supporter of The Heart Truth, having walked in the Red Dress Collection 2007 Fashion Show in support of women&amp;#8217;s heart health.

            <description>Brad and I have been invited to a Halloween party this year and he desperately wants for us to wear costumes with a couples theme.  Since the party is in a big town five hours from here and I will only know one couple out of all the attendees, I am considering giving in and wearing a costume.
This is big for me, see.  I am not the uninhibited type.  I don&amp;#8217;t even like parties.  Especially not parties where I don&amp;#8217;t know anyone.  Most especially parties where I will be dressed up like a slut/freak AND not know anyone.
That being said, I can get my freak on with the best of them when pressed.  (What?  I can.)  Therefore, the costumes I am leaning toward are the Werewolf/Little Red Riding Hood costumes:

My second choice, considering he&amp;#8217;s a preacher&amp;#8217;s son and all...</description>

            <description>Casually, and swiftly, photoshopped by a good friend of mine. I should add that the Shroom does not consider kilts to be dresses, skirts, or, indeed, anything other than manly clothing, especially whn worn 'Highlander', as both I and the Groom were. I also have nothing against blokes wearing dresses. All power to all people, that's what I say. In fact, it's quite liberating, as long as yo remember to keep your knees together, and avoid scaring children / being placed on the sex-offenders register... (Source: The KnifeMan)</description>

            <description>Care to zap your brain into shape for a new mental adventure today? It&amp;rsquo;s the difference between feeling trapped in routines or ruts &amp;hellip; and challenging your brain for higher productivity. Brain fitness often involves doing daily routines in different ways. To the brain, status quo is handled by the basal ganglia &amp;hellip; while mental fitness tends to take place in the working memory. Can you see how these two brain basics compete daily for your attention? How so? If your basal ganglia routines win, you&amp;rsquo;ll likely linger in ruts. In contrast, with a few changed activities, you&amp;rsquo;ll grow more working memory for adventures. &amp;nbsp;Use more working memory and you also keep your brain alive and well. Recent research shows how working memory can expand with use. Drawing from y...</description>

She was 78.Said Bill McComb, CEO of Claiborne's company since November: &quot;In losing Liz Claiborne, we have not only lost the founder of our company, but an inspirational woman who revolutionized the fashion industry 30 years ago. Her commitment to style and design is ever present in our thinking and the way we work. We will remember Liz for her vision, her entrepreneurial spirit and her enduring compassion and generosity.&quot;Claiborne, with husband Art Ostenberg and partners Leonard Boxer and Jerome Chazen, launched her label in 1976 after working for years as an unknown...</description>
