My parents are the definition of strict. While living at home, even past the age of 18, I have had a curfew (ten o'clock most nights). I have to tell my mom where I am every second of the day and tell her who I'm with. My parents have access to my bank statements on my checking and savings and will review my purchases and question me about them. My mother calls me several times a day. While I spent the first two years just dying to move out I never did until this past summer. Even though I was able to support myself financially, my parents strongly disapproved of my efforts to live on my own.
Moving out made my life so much happier and less stressful. However, my contract ended and I've been back at home for a week while I am trying to find a new apartment. But now my parents are very upset at my decision to remain away from "home". They say that I only like being on my own so that I can do whatever I want without anyone knowing. They think I'm out doing bad things every night. They also think it is a very bad financial decision. I am honestly a good, responsible, adult woman. I can support myself financially, I'm attending college, I get 4.0's, I don't smoke, drink, or have sex, I'm religious, my boyfriend has the same values as I do, and I've never done anything to make them not trust me. And yet my parents still think I'm out making terrible decisions and being a bad person.
So, I'm super anxious to move back out but I realize that it doesn't fix my relationship with my parents. As an adult, I don't feel like I need parenting (strict rules, criticism for my own opinion, parent rules over child, etc). I just honestly feel like that stage of my life has past. I would just like to have an adult to adult relationship with my parents- that I could turn to them for advice but not receive unwanted advice or guidance constantly. I want to make my own decisions and live my life according to what I believe is right for me without strong disapproval or arguments. I don't want to feel guilty for being who I really am.
So I have a lot of questions. Am I wrong for feeling this way? I don't know what it's like to be a parent so am I just being the rebel child that just thinks her parents are out to get her? Are my parents actions justifiable? How do I build an adult relationship with my parents and help them realize that I'm not a child anymore? And how do I get them to accept me and my decisions without getting a whole lecture on their opinion and what they think is right for me?

BTW, your parents are WAY too overbearing, IMO.
Your parents need to realize that their work is finished and that they have done a great job. You're a mature, responsible, ondependent young woman who can take care of herself (do you ANY idea how many parents would LOVE to be able to say that about their child?). They have possibly invested all of their time in you over the last 20 years (hence their going too far in some domains, notably your bank account) and never thought that they should also be working on their marriage. In short, they are turning their empty nest syndrome full beam on you.
They need to realize that you are no longer a child (and goodness knows, you have shown them that) and that they now need to build up a relationship that they have perhaps let slide, their relationship as a couple. There isn't very much you can do about this other than suggest family counselling...
I left home at 18 and, if my parents had any misgivings they never showed them. My mother always said she was proud of me doing that because it showed she had done a good job on me (lol). My MIL never accepted that version - for her, if you left home for any reason other than to get married it meant you were unhappy and hated your parents (sigh) - just pointing out how a good situation can be viewed in a bad light.
To answer your questions:
Am I wrong for feeling this way?
No, you are not wrong.
I don't know what it's like to be a parent so am I just being the rebel child that just thinks her parents are out to get her?
You are several light years away from being a "rebel child"
Are my parents actions justifiable?
No. They need to accept that you are an adult now. It is time for them to grow up
How do I build an adult relationship with my parents and help them realize that I'm not a child anymore?
This is almost impossible. It will take time. Just keep showing them how dependable and self-sufficient you are.
And how do I get them to accept me and my decisions without getting a whole lecture on their opinion and what they think is right for me?
I suggest that every time they try to give you their opinion you gently remind them that they have already given it to you and that to keep on repeating it will be considered nagging. Also gently point out that by nagging at you they are pushing you away that you don't want to see them only to be nagged at ... As I said above, family counselling might be in order (you might get them to go if they think that this will get you to come "home" ...)
Just remember that they may never accept what you're doing... Good luck. You're on the right track.
You brought up a very interesting point that my parents need to focus on their marriage now instead of raising their "children". My parents don't ever go out with other couples/friends or go on dates. They never take vacations together. They never have anyone over to the house. I recall a few months ago they had tickets to a concert that they have always wanted to go to and they stayed home because my brother was feeling a little sick. I think I'll suggest to them to start focusing on their relationship instead of on me. I hate seeing them be so... boring? Maybe I'll take them on a double date with myself and my lovely boyfriend (that they hate- of course ha ha).
I live on my own and I love it. I work full time and pay for everything. I have never asked them for a dime yet they still act like Im such a failure. I tried so hard to be "perfect" and apease them, I wanted their respect and wanted them to be proud of me. But now that I live on my own, I realize how destructive they were to me. I was a pushover and so unsure of myself. I had low self esteem from spending my whole childhood chasing unrealistic standards.
So I understand wanting to fix your relationship but for me it came down to simply telling them I loved them but this was MY life and if they couldnt stop being so negative about my choices I couldnt contact them. So after a few weeks of not talking and a few instances of me walking out due to their disrespect for me, they have gotten to the point where they dont harrass me. Its a tough situation. Good luck
I'm curious, by the way, to hear the rationale of the one person who's said yes in the poll so far... because I strongly disagree with them, and I think your parents might feel they're being "good concerned parents" but are taking "concerned" a few thousand miles too far!
Your story reminds me of one of my great friends. We've been friends since we were 12. She is my age (almost 33) and was raised by her grandmother, since her mother was not fit to be a parent. She still lives with her grandmother, and they have a very codependent relationship. She has never lived out on her own, and I don't imagine she will ever live alone until her grandmother passes.
She has also never been married. She has been in a handful of relationships, most with men who treated her badly and were controlling (which makes complete sense given the controlling nature of her grandma). My friend is also a very responsible adult. She owns her own business, doesn't party and doesn't get into trouble.
Her & I will get together for things like shopping, dinner, etc. While out (and it's been like this forever), her grandmother will call her to check up on her, see when she'll be coming home (for no reason), etc. And my friend allows it. She will sometimes get frustrated with her and tell her this, but it doesn't matter because she still lets her grandma control her.
Her grandma has never liked any of her dates/boyfriends (even the good ones) and often meddles in their relationship as well. I suspect a lot of men feel they cannot deal with her being such a part of her life. Right now, my friend has pretty much given up on dating or the possibility of even being married.
My friend's grandmother also maintains a codependent relationship with several of her other children. She is quite the negative person and also quite manipulative. I don't doubt your parents love you, but the hold they have on you is manipulative also. Don't feel bad for wanting to live your own life and break the cycle.
I'm sorry, but your parents are not parenting you, they're smothering you. And your poor brother, his zest and passion for living is going to be squashed the rest of his life unless he figures out how to become independent. He's going to be that 35 year old man whose mom still does his laundry.
I commend you for seeing this for how it is, that it's not right, and wanting better for yourself. You are absolutely doing the right thing. Every person must come to a point where they separate from their parents. You are definitely ready. I would not only move out, I would contact your bank and remove their names/access from your bank accounts. You are a smart, reliable, responsible adult, and you no longer need them peering over your shoulder.
Please try to ignore their doomsday warnings and do what YOU feel is right for YOU. It sounds like you live an exemplary life, and you are doing nothing wrong whatsoever by wanting your freedom. It's the natural order of things, and it's sad that your parents are not rejoicing with you at this time in your life when you get to explore your future.
I say step WAY back from them, you need to draw your lines hard at first. They are probably either not going to change or are going to change very slowly. Maintain your boundaries and like PP's have said, if they cross them, remind them or leave. Eventually, once they understand the rules, you can slowly try to build relationship with them within the framework of your individuality. It's sad, but basically you are having to be the adult here and show them by example what is a healthy life for an adult. Don't let them set the rules for you anymore...that's for you to decide now, and to experience on your own.
About the poll: My guess is that the two that voted "yes" misunderstood the question.
They are trying to manipulate you, and if you let them, this will continue as long as you both live.
I am sure they want you to stay living at home, that would be another income in THEIR house.
You do your part, respect them and love them.............. but most importantly don't DEPEND on them in any way, especially not emotionally. You worry too much about what your parents think, you still have some growing up to do. You and your parents need to let go. Take care.
And when she starts telling you what a bad child your are or how terrible your boyfriend is, just say "I'm sorry you feel that way, Mom. I have to go now" and do it. As long as you keep listening to her rants, she's going to keep ranting.
Moving is stressful enough without your mother adding to it -- it sounds like a terrible day.
It's up to you. Your parents have already given you a guilt trip - it's up to you whether you let them turn it into an odyssey or not
I am very glad to hear that you're moving. This is the first day of the rest of your life ...

Work on a new shopping center on Cherokee Avenue is well underway.
The new development will be located across from the Wal-Mart shopping center and construction of the Bojangles Fried Chicken location is already nearing completion.
Restaurants Golden Rule BBQ, Santa Fe Cattle Company and Bojangles Fried Chicken have already signed on for standalone locations at the new development, while negotiations are ongoing for some retail stores, as well.
Greg Smith, developer for the new retail area, did not respond to messages left seeking comment.
In a previous interview, Smith said the six acre development could also house hotels, in addition to restaurants and retail stores.
In preparation for the new retail area, the City of Cullman has approved the extension of Lee Avenue to connect the development to Heritage Park.
In addition to connecting the park and development, the project will also create a new entrance for the park.
"That street will be a great access for us," Cullman Mayor Max Townson said. "It'll give Heritage Park another entryway ... We approved this now to help this project get started."
Townson said the city also plans to add a stoplight to the Lee Avenue and Cherokee Avenue intersection.
"The light has already been approved by the state," he said. "It's just a slow process."
The city has contracted with St. John and Associates to handle the road design.
Cullman Economic Development Agency Director Peggy Smith said the new development should have a lasting affect on the local economy.
"The development of the site and building has created and will continue to create jobs and business for many local companies," she said, referring to the Bojangles Fried Chicken restaurant under construction.
Smith said the new development will eventually provide additional jobs, payroll and add to the tax base in Cullman County.
"I definitely see some signs of the economy rebounding," she said.

U.S. News Rankings
|Ranking score and category
Sewanee--University of the South is a private institution that was founded in 1857. It has a total undergraduate enrollment of 1,478, its setting is rural, and the campus size is 13,000 acres. It utilizes a semester-based academic calendar. Sewanee--University of the South's ranking in the 2014 edition of Best Colleges is National Liberal Arts Colleges, 38. Its tuition and fees are $35,756 (2013-14).
Among its many unique traditions, one that most distinguishes Sewanee students is their clothing. Unlike most other schools, wearing pajama-like clothing or jeans is not a rite of college passage at the southern Tennessee college of Sewanee—University of the South. In fact, it's not even allowed. Sewanee students dress up for every class, a tradition meant to honor the sanctity of education. After class, students may need to change clothes if they want to explore all of the campus' surrounding wilderness. Known as the Domain, the southern Tennessee campus has nearby opportunities to rock climb, mountain bike and cave. All students are required to live on campus unless they are granted an exception. The campus is also home to about 100 student clubs and organizations, including more than 20 very popular fraternities and sororities. The Sewanee Tigers mostly compete in the NCAA Division III Southern Athletic Association. The football team plays on the oldest field in the South. Sewanee has 36 majors, and writing as a skill is stressed in all of them. Each summer, the school hosts the Sewanee Writers' Conference, a congregation of esteemed authors and journalists. Nearly half the student body studies abroad doing their college tenure. For shorter trips within Tennessee, the campus is a 45-minute drive from Chattanooga and 90 minutes from Nashville.
The university was founded and is still governed by dioceses of the Episcopal Church, and is the only school in the country to bear this distinction. Sewanee has a School of Theology, and is open to all faiths. Students with high GPAs are inducted into the Order of the Gownsmen and receive priority selection for dorm rooms and classes. Notable alumni of Sewanee include Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jon Meacham, National Geographic photographer Stephen Alvarez and dozens of esteemed clergymen such as former Presiding Bishops of the Episcopal Church The Most Rev. Edmond Browning and The Most Rev. John Maury Allin.
|School mission and unique qualities (as provided by the school):
The University of the South, known familiarly as Sewanee, offers an unmatched educational experience characterized by serious intellectual engagement between faculty and students. Relationships that begin in the classroom extend to all facets of life here, and it is not unusual for students and faculty members to work shoulder to shoulder on research projects and journal articles, to meet for dinner or coffee at a local eatery, or to serve together as members of the University orchestra or volunteer fire department. The College of Arts and Sciences at the University has graduated 26 Rhodes Scholars (a record unmatched by all but a handful of institutions), 43 Watson Fellows, and 29 NCAA Postgraduate Scholars. Sewanee's School of Theology has added to its alumni ranks countless bishops, including three of the last four presiding bishops of the Episcopal Church. The University is located atop the Cumberland Plateau between Nashville and Chattanooga, Tennessee. Sewanee's physical environment, which includes a 13,000-acre campus, provides an outstanding place for study, reflection, and recreation--and an unparalleled outdoor laboratory for environmental and other science classes. Over its history, Sewanee has become a meeting place for some of America's most respected literary figures. It is home to the Sewanee Writers' Conference, the Sewanee Review (the nation's oldest continuously published literary quarterly), and holds the copyrights to Tennessee Williams' body of work, which were left to the school by the playwright.

Plagiarism doesn't just mean copying. But you know that.
From the Harvard Crimson:
Harvard College's disciplinary board is investigating nearly half of the 279 students who enrolled in Government 1310: "Introduction to Congress" last spring for allegedly plagiarizing answers or inappropriately collaborating on the class' final take-home exam.
the Ad Board conducted a review of all final exams submitted for the course and found about 125 of them to be suspicious.
So I believe the problem was just the final exam and not multiple exams, although more information will undoubtedly come out.
But a student's own account says:
"Almost all of [the students at office hours] had been awake the entire night, and none of us could figure out what an entire question (worth 20% of the grade) was asking,"
And another of the students admits discussing test questions with other students and says it was commonplace......
then I kind of suspect that the students were working together on the test questions and not just sharing study guides before the exam.
Call me crazy. Or dense. But that's how my blind eyes see it.

Amid rumors that Beyonce is expecting another baby, Jay-Z was asked the question directly Wednesday by E! News' Alicia Quarles.
"Are you having another baby?" she asked at the NBA 2K13 video game release at Jay's 40/40 Club in New York.
"Tonight?" Jay-Z quipped. "No."
Quarles continued, "What about in nine months?"
"Not in nine months," Jay said. "Absolutely not."
Still not satisfied, Quarles said, but before then?
"No," Jay said. "Not in one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight or nine months."

Chrostek '12 Nominated for Burton Award
February 13, 2012
An article by Vermont Law School student Garrett Chrostek '12, titled "A Critique of Vermont's Right-To-Farm Law and Proposals for Better Protecting the State's Agricultural Future," has been selected as VLS's official entry in the 2012 Burton Distinguished Legal Writing Award competition.
The article, which was published in the Vermont Law Review in 2011, evaluates Vermont's right-to-farm law and makes concrete suggestions for improving it.
"The article is erudite and pragmatic," said Professor Greg Johnson, director of VLS's Legal Writing Program. "It offers realistic proposals to protect Vermont's agricultural resources."
Ben Leoni '11 was selected by the Burton Awards for Legal Achievement as a winner of the 2011 Distinguished Legal Writing Awards. Leoni, who now practices law in Maine, was the first VLS student to win the award, which is the highest honor in legal writing in the United States.

Correction: In this Oct. 10 guest commentary by Madera County Auditor/Controller Marcia Hall, some verbiage was inadvertently left out of the piece. The complete sentences are reprinted here for clarification.
"These annual financial statements are considered delinquent on the 31st of March, following the county's June 20 fiscal year end."
"The auditor controller's office does perform internal audit functions. Recently we investigated cash handling procedures in more than one department and are currently dealing with the misappropriation of funds (approximately $80,000) in one of our larger departments and have also informed the board of supervisors of apparent misspending by an outside contractor connected to a special district."
We apologize for any confusion the misprint may have caused.
After reading the Oct. 1 guest commentary by Todd Miller, I wanted to set the record straight as his commentary contained some errors and a few misstatements. However, I will agree that the auditor-controller's department needs to be the county watchdog and we are working to reestablish that moniker.
The annual audit is prepared by an independent accounting firm (not the county auditor).
These annual financial statements are considered delinquent on the 31st county's June 30 fiscal year end. Contrary to the information provided in last week's commentary, this department is currently working on the June 30, 2012 audit. The June 30, 2011 audit is already complete and was not two and a half years late.
Unfortunately, the audits for Madera County have been delinquent for every fiscal year since June 30, 2006. When I was appointed in January 2012, no work had been done on the audit and there was not one full-time employee on staff in the auditor-controller's department who had ever assisted with the preparation of the audit. Fortunately, we have filled some vacant positions in our department and are working diligently to complete the June 30, 2012 audited financial statements.
Has the county lost funding due to these delinquent audits? The county has certainly missed the opportunity to apply for some grants however, there is no guarantee that we would have been awarded funding from these grants. Many counties apply, not all are selected for funding.
The funding cycle for Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) has been missed. These funds are used to loan money to citizens to rehabilitate their houses. Currently we have in excess of $5 million recorded on our books, which are the outstanding loans under these CDBG related programs. Once repaid, these funds are loaned again for more rehabilitation projects.
Was cash out of balance by around $500,000? According to the audits prepared for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2008 through 2011, the auditor-controller's office has been unable to reconcile the cash balance recorded on the county financials to the cash balance provided by the county's treasurer. During our review of this process we discovered that a department made over $100,000 in "negative" non-cash deposits. We are currently working on cleaning up the reconciliation processes to provide more accountability regarding daily deposits and to properly account for investment transactions.
The audit adjustments noted in the guest commentary were not findings they were adjustments that the auditor made to the financial statements. Some of these adjustments were a result of the audit and some were reclassifications due to reporting changes required by Government Auditing Standards. To facilitate the completion of the audit, Gallina LLP, our outside auditor, posted the adjustments for us. They are required by professional standards to report the adjustments they made to our financial statements.
When I was appointed to this office, there were a lot of internal controls that needed to be shored up. Like the most recent Rim Fire, we are working very hard to control the perimeters while doing this sometimes the fire rages and there are casualties such as delayed funding. However, I am confident that we are on the right track. We have already improved internal controls and standardized procedures throughout the county and will continue to make changes and improvements to ensure accountability.
The auditor-controller's office does perform internal audit functions. Recently we investigated cash handling procedures in more than one department and are currently dealing with the misappropriation of funds (approximately $80,000) in one of our larger departments and have of March, following the also informed the Board of Supervisors of apparent misspending by an outside contractor connected to a special district.
Thirty years working as a governmental auditor has provided me the road map to make major changes to, not only my own office, but other departments in the county. Encouragement for these changes comes directly from the board of supervisors. They are well aware of the changes that I have made and have supported and encouraged me to keep up the good work.
They know that I will continue to be the financial watchdog for this county and they know my vision for the future of this office that is why they appointed me. I hope the readers will understand this as well.
If you meet me, you will quickly realize my commitment to improve the office of Auditor-Controller. Anyone can contact me if you would like to discuss the changes/improvements that we have already made and our vision for the future. email@example.com.

Lee Ward
The Independent
Cledus T. Judd was ready to retire when he moved to the Tri-State to be near his daughter.
It was his daughter who insisted he keep working.
"She said she wanted me to keep making people laugh," he said, and he has.
Sometimes called the Weird Al Yankovic of country music, Georgia native Judd is known for his parodies of popular country music songs as well as original comic tunes. He has released nine studio albums and two EPs, and several of their singles have entered the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. His highest chart peak is the No. 48 "I Love NASCAR," a parody of Toby Keith's 2003 single "I Love This Bar."
He recently spent some time in the studio recording three new tunes and this month traveled the Tri-State filming for videos that will appear on YouTube.com. One of the new songs is a parody of Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines."
He has a recording deal with Warner Bros., a management deal with Nashville-based Average Joe and he's represented by Buddy Lee Attractions, also of Nashville. There's a reality television show in the works for him and he's co-hosting the morning radio show on WTCR. He hopes to do a show at the Paramount Arts Center some day; meanwhile, on March 8, he will present a comedy show with his friend and standup comedian Vic Clevenger at the Mardi Gras Casino in Cross Lanes, W.Va.
"You'll probably have to have an interpreter with our accents like they are," he said of his fellow Southerner. "But Vic is more of a standup comic and I'm more of a musical comic kind of weaving a story in and out, so we will work better together."
Judd said he's looking forward to playing the casino, but was loathe to discuss how much he gambles.
"I like that atmosphere. I like the bells and whistles," he said, admitting he enjoys a little gambling when he's around it.
However, he never gambles with his relationship with his daughter. He moved to the Tri-State to be closer to the 9-year-old whose mother is country singer and radio personality Julie Reeves and he's happy he did.
"I could never ask to be accepted into a community more than I have been here," he said of the Tri-State. "This is home. This will always be home from now on. My daughter's here and I want to continue to be a part of her life."
Even though he's not a teenager yet, Judd said she's already embarrassed by him at times.
"I've get 25 videos ... her godfather is the lead singer from Rascal Flatts but when I start singing, she'll say, 'Shut up, Dad!" he joked.
He's pleased she's spending her childhood here.
"I have lived all over the country. I've been in 48 states. I've never lived in a more accommodating area than the Tri-State," he said. "These are the friendliest and kindest people I've ever been around."
Judd said he has no intention of leaving.
"This is where I'll be," he said. "If I have to sell couches at Big Sandy, I'm here. I won't leave."
The Cledus and Clevenger No Twerking Show will be at 8 and 10 p.m. March 8 in the Big Easy Lounge at the Mardis Gras Casino in Cross Lanes, W.Va. Tickets, which are $15 in advance, are available at mardigrascasino.com.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) today released the following statement on the passage of H.R. 2055 the Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act a measure that will fund the federal government through September 30, 2012:
"Today the House passed a bipartisan, bicameral agreement to responsibly fund the government next year. Despite threats from Senate Democrats and the President to shut down the government, sensibility prevailed and both parties came together to responsibly finish our end of the year work as the people deserve.
"I thank Chairman Hal Rogers for his leadership on this bipartisan bill that reduces the size and scope of our government, cuts discretionary spending for the second year in a row, provides for a strong national defense, and abides by the House Republicans' pledge to ban earmarks. This year House Republicans ensured that Washington finally started cutting spending and we will continue our efforts next year to save hard working taxpayers' money and lower the deficit."

The medium might be an art form capable of the most esoteric and confounding brain-tickling, but what always tends to put the most asses in seats is pure spectacle. So, from the earliest days of folks making projects with movie cameras, special effects have fascinated filmmakers and filmgoers alike. These days, special effects flicks are a multibillion-dollar industry, filled with competitors anxious to take viewers on the next big ride. This week, Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity sets a new bar for special effects movies in a terrifying "lost in space" nightmare with photo-real effects so visceral that the experience feels halfway between a theme park ride and a movie. With the film guaranteed to dazzle audiences with the most advanced technology currently available, we thought we'd take a look back on the 10 finest groundbreaking effects movies. This isn't just a pissing contest over which film pioneered which effects first, but a look at the movies that had the biggest and most lasting affect on audiences with their use of good old-fashioned movie magic.

It is estimated that 40 million Americans are overweight and 11.5 million are morbidly obese. More than 25 percent of Americans are obese, and on top of our obesity problem comes a plethora of other health issues.
Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat, based on the height and weight of an adult man or woman. Once calculated, BMI ranges are as follows:
normal = 18.5 to 24.9
overweight = 25.0 to 29.9
obese = 30 to 34.9
severely = 35 to 39.9
morbidly obese = 40 to 50
super obese = 50 and over
The most common co-morbidities that I see in patients with obesity include diabetes, hypertension and sleep apnea. Numerous other health problems that may occur with obesity include asthma, cardiovascular disease, degenerative joint disease, osteoarthritis, depression, dyslipidemia, gastroesophageal reflux disease, infertility, lower back pain, metabolic syndrome, mortality, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, obstructive sleep apnea, type 2 diabetes, urinary stress incontinence and venous stasis disease.
So, how can you improve these co-morbidities? If you are in one of the overweight or obese categories, losing weight is the most effective way to reduce or eliminate many of them. A healthy lifestyle, including diet and daily exercise, is the key for reducing and preventing many of these obesity-related diseases. Studies have shown that even with minor weight loss, health problems such as hypertension or diabetes greatly improved or eliminated the need for medications.
If you choose the option of surgery for your weight loss journey, there are some staggering statistics, which show the improvement in the main co-morbidities that we see. The three main surgeries that we offer, gastric bypass, gastric band and gastric sleeve, have yielded the following resolutions/improvements:
Gastric bypass - 80 percent diabetes, 60 percent sleep apnea, 48 percent hypertension
Gastric band - 48 percent diabetes, 55 percent sleep apnea, 48 percent hypertension
Gastric sleeve - 75 percent diabetes, 55 percent sleep apnea, 78 percent hypertension
Weight loss also varies with each of the procedures. Within the first year, gastric bypass yields an estimated 65 to 75 percentage of excess weight loss while gastric band produces 20 to 30 percent, and gastric sleeve results in 50 to 60 percent.
With any procedure the patient chooses, one has to remember each is a tool to assist in the weight loss journey. It is through a healthy lifestyle change, including diet and exercise, that will ensure the tool works, and the patient can keep the weight off long term.
If you are overweight or obese and want to make a change, speak first about your best approach with your primary care physician. If you are looking for a new physician, visit www.blountmemorial.org and click on "Find a Doctor."
If you have a significant amount of weight to lose, with even one or two of the above co-morbidities, weight loss surgery may be an option. There also are non-surgical approaches for losing weight through the Blount Memorial Weight Management Center and the main focus is a change in lifestyle and beginning to make better choices. Many co-morbidities are simply caused by excess weight and low activity. Eliminating even one could extend your life. Consider making a change today by calling my office at 865-984-3413.
Dr. Jonathan Ray is a board-certified surgeon who specializes in bariatric surgery at Blount Memorial Hospital.

The Walt Disney Studios updated its award site earlier today and added the full recording to 'Let It Go' from the original motion picture soundtrack (available for pre-order via Amazon and iTunes) as it is performed in the film by Elsa (Idina Menzel).
It can be found at the bottom of the Frozen music page, which is also intended to highlight the score, composed by Christophe Becke (only the song by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez — which Disney hopes to score recognition for best song — appears to be currently available, however). It's been posted to their site in OGG format.

What change does Apple most need to make to the App Store? [Poll]
Apple announced the App Store way back in spring of 2008 as part of the iPhone SDK event, and now 4 years later it's the biggest thing to ever hit mobile applications, but it still has a lot of issues. If you could wave a magic wand and have Apple add one thing to the App Store, what would it be?
There are 24 comments. Add yours.
First option... 'Nuff said.
Not an App Store feature, just apps in general. I think it would be best to take the Mountain Lion "Gatekeeper" approach over to iOS. That would cover several items on this list.
they took the ios approach to make gatekeeper actually
lol the first option shouldn't be in the poll, since everyone already have said they want it like forever :P
The others are more interesting :)
"Less Curation" could probably use some splitting up. Most people want some manner of curation, but would like to see some ability to sideload -- perhaps a ML-esque Gatekeeper for iOS, that would allow people to enter the Wild West at their own risk.
Probably remove at least 200,000 of the pieces of trash that are in the way of finding good apps. We don't need 1 "radar" app or weather app for every single city in the US; which is what some developers do. They are selling hundreds of the same app just for a different city/state/region/country.
So true!
Background app install ( no jumping out of AppStore to homepage)
Remote purchase and install for when you don't have your device with you. Just like android via any browser
I would buy more apps if I could preview them. As it is, I don't want to pay for crap apps so I don't bother. I think a lot of people are in the same boat.
This is probably something they won't do with a redesign, but I would really like some kind of auto-update of apps when you charge the device for instance.
Personally, I'd like some sort of wish list feature with price change notification. There are many times I see something interesting that I'd like to save with no way of doing it inside the App store app. Just build it into the app please and I can delete a few app tracker apps
Put Cydia into the app store..
Restricting flash app fakes would be a good start.
it's just poorly organized and hard to navigate. I'm not talking about searching. I mean browsing for things that are new. browsing isn't great.
It would be nice to see demo videos, you see links to you tube dem
Edit- Android often has links to you tube videos embedded so you can really see the app in action. The developers should provide the video so they have control as to the quality of the video and show off the features.
I would also like a save for later list, apps that I might buy later, be able to check for price changes or apps where I have to wait to download over wifi, oh yeah and how about increasing the 20 mb limit on 3G downloads, maybe up to 50 mb
And one more thing- this is more related to iTunes, let me favorite apps, or make a sort of playlist of essential apps that are the ones I want to install by default on a new device or after a total reformat. I have over 900 apps in iTunes, it takes forever to go through them to check off which ones to install.
I want to see the App Store utilize it's own push notification system, to tell ME when updates are available, rather than me going to the Store to find out.
Also, it's about time the App Store had a Downloads button, so you don't get kicked out of the app every time you download.
Missing option: Don't make me type my password for free apps and free updates. I think I've typed my Apple ID password more than any other of my passwords combined!
Totally disagree with the statement made about not putting in passwords for free apps. My children have iPods and I controll what they are able to download because everything requires a password. I also would not want to let someone use my iPod or phone and find out they downloaded something that I do not want.
Basically you all need to buy and Android. All these features have been there for years. Apple never listens to their customers, just the shareholders, so don't expect anything to change for a long time.
I enjoy, result in I discovered exactly what I used to be looking for. You've ended my four day lengthy hunt! God Bless you man. Have a nice day. Bye

A River Returns What Has Fallen
[flickr id="6333164730" thumbnail="medium" overlay="true" size="small" group="" align="center"] I was walking along the banks of a river and noticed these leafs floating across the surface. I moved from side to side to find an interesting angle and, as I did so, the reflection of the bare trees on the far bank came into play. I couldn't help but notice the visual trick of replacing the fallen leafs back upon the trees. I made a few shots but wasn't very happy with the outcome. At that point, I deliberately underexposed and, voila, I was much happier.

Dellinger Park's pool is set for improvements, but they won't include the installation of a slide that would have cost the city of Cartersville an extra $114,000.
It was a move recommended by Parks and Rec Director Greg Anderson, but denied by the city council after much debate at Thursday night's meeting, The Daily Tribune News reports.
Should the council have approved a slide that cost about $115,000? Tell us in the comments.
The pool is set to see some improvements, as the council approved $975,000 worth of work, including some required by the Health Department, according to the council agenda:
- Removal and re-pouring of concrete deck—about $75,000;
- New doors, shower and fixtures for the bathhouse—about $20,000; and
- Re-plastering of walls and floor of existing pool—$55,000.00.
The renovations—which include replacement of the existing bathhouse, the addition of water fountains and a new entry to the pool, according to the newspaper—will bring the pool and bathhouse to existing State Health Department code and the Americans with Disabilities Act, officials say.
The council approved the other items on its agenda, attached, including parking lot lighting for the new Steak 'n Shake.

MOTHERSHIP by Martin Leicht and Isla Neal
Teen pregnancy is never easy—especially not when extraterrestrials are involved. The first in a new trilogy that's part Juno and part Aliens.
Young Adult Science Fiction
In 2074, while attending the Hanover School for Expecting Teen Mothers aboard an earth-orbiting spaceship, sixteen-year-old Elvie finds herself in the middle of an alien race war and makes a startling discovery about her pregnancy.
Elvie Nara was doing just fine in the year 2074. She had a great best friend, a dad she adored, and bright future working on the Ares Project on Mars. But then she had to get involved with sweet, gorgeous, dumb-as-a-brick Cole—and now she's pregnant.
Getting shipped off to the Hanover School for Expecting Teen Mothers was not how Elvie imagined spending her junior year, but she can go with the flow. That is, until a team of hot commandos hijacks the ship—and one of them turns out to be Cole. She hasn't seen him since she told him she's pregnant, and now he's bursting into her new home to tell her that her teachers are aliens and want to use her unborn baby to repopulate their species? Nice try, buddy. You could have just called.
So fine, finding a way off this ship is priority number one, but first Elvie has to figure out how Cole ended up as a commando, work together with her arch-nemesis, and figure out if she even wants to be a mother—assuming they get back to Earth in one piece.

GOODBYE FOR NOW by Laurie Frankel
Science Fiction | Women's Fiction Contemporary
In the spirit of ONE DAY, comes a fresh and warmhearted love story for the 21st century. Sometimes the end is just the beginning . . .
Sam Elling works for an internet dating company, but he still can't get a date. So he creates an algorithm that will match you with your soul mate. Sam meets the love of his life, a coworker named Meredith, but he also gets fired when the company starts losing all their customers to Mr. and Ms. Right.
When Meredith's grandmother, Livvie, dies suddenly, Sam uses his ample free time to create a computer program that will allow Meredith to have one last conversation with her grandmother. Mining from all her correspondence—email, Facebook, Skype, texts—Sam constructs a computer simulation of Livvie who can respond to email or video chat just as if she were still alive. It's not supernatural, it's computer science.
Meredith loves it, and the couple begins to wonder if this is something that could help more people through their grief. And thus, the company RePose is born. The business takes off, but for every person who just wants to say good-bye, there is someone who can't let go.
In the meantime, Sam and Meredith's affection for one another deepens into the kind of love that once tasted, you can't live without. But what if one of them suddenly had to? This entertaining novel, delivers a charming and bittersweet romance as well as a lump in the throat exploration of the nature of love, loss, and life (both real and computer simulated). Maybe nothing was meant to last forever, but then again, sometimes love takes on a life of its own.
BLOODLINE by James Rollins
The next installment of the Sigma Force series involves a genetic mystery with ties to both an ancient history and modern-day government, as only New York Times bestselling author James Rollins can tell it.
A yacht bearing a young American couple is attacked by Somali pirates, leading to bloodshed and the violent kidnapping of the pregnant woman on board. To aid in her rescue from the lawless and war-torn jungles of coastal Africa, Sigma Force enlists the aid of a unique search team: former army ranger Captain Tucker Wayne and his military war dog, Kane. But what appears to be a straightforward mission turns into a fiery ambush and betrayal—for this most valuable hostage is in fact the president's daughter.
Halfway around the world, a firebombing at a fertility clinic in the United States reveals a group of women collected from around the globe and enslaved to bear children by artificial means. One woman lives long enough to give birth to a stillborn baby, but a genetic study reveals the child bears an impossible abnormality—a triple helix of DNA.
To uncover the dark truth hidden within our genetic code and shrouded by a centuries-old conspiracy, Commander Gray Pierce and Tucker Wayne must team up to save an unborn child, a child whose very existence raises a pair of ageless questions:
Could you live forever?
Would you live forever?
LIVING PROOF by Kira Peikoff
In the year 2027, destroying an embryo is first-degree murder. What happens when a dying doctor with a secret falls in love with the man who's out to expose her?
Thriller | Science Fiction
In 2027, destroying an embryo is considered first-degree murder. Fertility clinics still exist, giving hope and new life to thousands of infertile families, but they have to pass rigorous inspections by the U.S. Department of Embryo Preservation. Fail an inspection, and you will be prosecuted.
Brilliant young doctor Arianna Drake seems to be thriving in the spotlight: her small clinic surpasses every government requirement, and its popularity has spiked—a sudden, rapid growth that leaves the DEP chief mystified. When he discovers Arianna's radical past as a supporter of an infamous scientist, he sends undercover agent Trent Rowe to investigate her for possible illegal activity.
As Trent is pulled into Arianna's enigmatic world, his own begins to unravel. The secret he finally uncovers will deeply move him—and jeopardize them both. With the clock ticking her life away, he finds himself questioning everything he knows to be true, and then must summon the courage to take the greatest risk of all. Nothing less than human life—and a major scientific breakthrough—hang in the balance.
A thought-provoking thriller by debut author Kira Peikoff, Living Proof is a celebration of love and life that cuts to the core of a major cultural debate of our time.

Join us for the 6th Annual Amateur BBQ Cook Off for Camp Craig Allen at the Bass Pro Shop in Grapevine TX Sept 7th & 8th . All info found at www.campcraigallen.org
Petco and Natural Balance Pet Foods® have joined forces once again to celebrate National Service Dog Month in September with a fundraiser on behalf of U.S. organizations that support and/or train service dogs. The annual fundraiser has always supported guide dogs, but this year in addition to guide dogs, it will also raise funds on behalf of all service dogs including Military Working Dogs and the country's first ever national monument honoring Military Working Dogs.
"Guide dogs and Military Working Dogs are heroes, providing safe mobility, loving companionship and restoring confidence to their handlers. At least 10 million Americans live with vision loss and guide dogs are their precious lifelines to the world. Military Working Dogs support the war on terror, safeguard military bases and activities, and detect explosives before they inflict harm," said Dick Van Patten of Natural Balance Pet Foods. "This year, we hope to raise $1 million to help these incredible guide dogs and Military Working Dogs for their important work."
This is the first time in U.S. history that the U.S. Congress has elevated an animal, a dog, to national monument status by law, and both Natural Balance and Petco have been strong supporters of this initiative since the beginning. The National Monument, which will be dedicated in 2013, will feature a current day combat dog and its handler. The monument will reside at the 341st Training Squadron at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. All proceeds from the sale of 12 oz. Limited Edition Natural Balance Jerky Bars Treats at Petco will be donated to fund this national monument honoring Military Working Dogs.
From Sept. 2 – Sept. 22, 2012, contributions can be made at any Petco or Unleashed by Petco store or online at http://www.petco.com with all funds going to service dog organizations. In addition, proceeds from the purchase of 12 oz. Limited Edition Natural Balance Jerky Bars Treats at Petco will benefit the service dog monument at Lackland Air Force Base.

ok, right now im not doing any sort of assistance work, im just doing 4X4's for several basic compound movements with the goal of increasing strength in the powerlifts. well, obviously this is only ok to do for so long and im going to have to do assistance work at some point... so here's my problem. im going to use todays workout as an example. i was supposed to do 4X4 for bench, then chin ups, then overhead press, and then some rows. this is what happened, i did the benching and chin-ups. by now im beat, partially because i literally gave 100% in the benching, the last rep of the last set was the closest ive ever been to failure without failing. but even on normal days i never do more than half the workout at once. i lift at home and i go back later to do the rest (so in a few hours ill be doing those OH presses and rows). first things first, is this ok in the long run? and also, how am i going to be able to do assistance work in the future when i cant stand to even do a basic workout like this? is 4 sets (all same weight and as heavy as possible) too much for when i want to work in assistance work? id like to add that the only times ive ever made significant gains were when i was lifting like i am now, if i actually do assistance work (like when ive tried to do some stuff that didnt work for me) i get weaker, and im starting to wonder if what im doing is keeping me from burning out my CNS... any thoughts?
From what I quickly read I'm guessing your question is how can I complete a workout I'm currently doing plus some **** when the one I'm doing is already kicking my ass. I guess you got two choices, 1 being drop the intensity or 2 kick yourself in the ass and get your endurance up. Also you might try some type of an enegry stack to get you movin.
I'm not sure how knowlageable you are about things so I'll say this: You might try increasing your reps to 10-12 or 12-15 even to increase your muscles stamina.
Well reguardless of what you choose to do make sure to hit me up with the results I'd be curious to see how the choice you make goes.
You need to increase your work capacity.
Squats work better than supplements.
"You know, if I thought like that, I'd never put more than one plate on the bar for anything, I'd never use bands or chains, I'd never squat to parallel or below, and I'd never let out the slightest grunt when I lift. At some point in your lifting career (assuming you're planning on getting reasonably strong and big), you're going to have to accept that most people think you are some kind of freak." -Sensei
"You're wrong, and I have a completely irrelevant pubmed abstract that may or may not say so." - Belial
I has a blog.
I has a facebook.
THey are right, you gotta slowly build up some work capacity. A question for you though... is your routine periodized? Going 4x4 every week might be a bit much... at least for me. Might want to deload every 4-5 weeks.
i figured that i wouldnt need any sort of periodization for some time as my poundages are still pretty low and the overall stress on my CNS is probably not quite high enough to warrant that. of course, like i said, when i actually do the whole workout at once it might be too much for me.Originally Posted by debussy
Next week will be my 14th week on the same routine, and i am aware this is a long time to be doing the same thing, but in the past couple weeks its worked better than ever and im at least going to ride out the year on it (well, if i start getting weaker ill probably deload). if i decide to use it again next year (i really like the rep scheme so i might) i will deload every now and then.
Like Paul said, you can build up your work capacity. Planning things out so that they are more realistic will be a good place to start. If you really feel you need assistance work and you're too tired or too busy to do it all in one training session, try adding extra (short) workouts.

Nearly 36 million adults in the U.S. have some degree of hearing loss. Hearing aids can help improve hearing and speech especially in persons with sensorineural hearing loss (hearing loss in the inner ear due to damaged hair cells or a damaged hearing nerve). Sensorineural hearing loss can be caused by virus or bacteria, noise, injury, infection, aging, certain medications, birth defects, tumors, problems with blood circulation or high blood pressure, and stroke.
Hearing aids are electronic or battery-operated devices that can amplify and change sound. A microphone receives the sound and converts it into sound waves. The sound waves are then converted into electrical signals.
The type of hearing aid recommended for the individual depends on the person's home and work activities, his/her physical limitations and medical condition, and personal preference. There are many different types of hearing aids on the market, with companies continuously inventing newer, improved hearing aids every day. However, there are four basic types of hearing aids available today. Consult your physician for additional information on each of the following types:
Anyone who has hearing loss that may be improved with hearing aids can benefit from these devices. The type of hearing aid recommended may depend on several factors, including, but not limited to:
Once the hearing aids have been fitted for the ears, the individual should begin to gradually wear the hearing aid. Because hearing aids do not restore normal hearing, it may take time to get used to the different sounds transmitted by the device. The American Academy of Otolaryngology recommends the following when beginning to wear hearing aids:
Hearing aids need to be kept dry. Methods for cleaning hearing aids vary depending on the style and shape. Other tips for taking care of hearing aids include:
A medical examination is required before purchasing a hearing aid. Hearing aids can be purchased from an otolaryngologist (a physician who specializes in disorders of the ear, nose, throat, and related structures of the head and neck), an audiologist (a specialist who can evaluate and manage hearing and balance problems), or an independent company. Styles and prices vary greatly. Consider the following questions when buying hearing aids:

American Bank of St. Paul (American Bank), Saint Paul, Minnesota, has contacted the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to report that counterfeit cashier's checks bearing the institution's name are in circulation.
The counterfeit items display the routing number 096000603, which is assigned to American Bank of St. Paul, but are dissimilar to authentic cashier's checks. The counterfeit items display a security feature statement embedded in the top border. The city is printed in small case (as "st paul") below the bank's name, Web site address, and a "TELEBANK" telephone number, which are located in the top-left corner. The "TELEBANK" telephone number is incorrectly printed as "651-628-628-BANK." The counterfeit items have a marbled background.
Authentic cashier's checks display the security statement "This document has a micro-print signature line, watermark, and a thermochromic icon; Absence of these features will indicate a copy." This statement is printed in italics beneath the written dollar amount line. A security padlock and statement appear to the right of the written dollar amount line. The city is printed in title case (as "St. Paul") below the bank's name, Web site address, a "TELEBANK" telephone number ("651-628-BANK"), and a local telephone number in the top-left corner.
