What to Do with Unused Prescription Medication?
Sometimes All You Can Do Is Laugh
I had IDC stage 1 and had a lumpectomy, chemo and radiation and am on an antiestrogen regimen for 5 yrs.and finished treatment 9 mos. ago.
I was 67 yrs. old at the time of dx and tolerated all the treatments well.
Please know that the decision to undergo treatment is your personal choice. Each of us had to decide what to do. Might I suggest that you see what the surgeon thinks your options are before you decide not to have any treatment.
You could also do one treatment like having surgery and then decide NOT to have chemo, radiation, take antiestrogen drugs etc.
If you read posts and blogs on the internet, please understand that the people who write them usually DO NOT view their treatment (s) in a positive way. They usually relate horrible experiences with doctors, or medicines etc. Those of us who have not experienced problems with breast cancer treatments usually do not write that on the internet.
So my advice is to take it one step at a time and then make each small decision - before you just automatically rule out all treatment.
Naturally the decision is totally yours and your family and friends should respect and support your decision.
Good luck on Wed. with the surgeon. Please let us know what the surgeon says and what you decide to do.
And the more I read the more uncertain I become.
You will drive yourself crazy reading anything & everything that is out there.
I also had IDC, stage 1,ER/PR Pos. Had a lumpectomy in Oct 2010. Followed with radiation - fin that in January. Now on Tamoxifen. I had no problems with surgery or treatments afterwards.
I know it is not easy to look at worse case scenario but try and not jump the gun.Hopefully your surgeon will explain all the options available to you.Take somebody with you to the appt to take notes for you.
This is a great place to be. There are many amazing ladies here that care & have great advice.
Please keep in touch
I don't know exactly what are you uncertain about?
If you have early stage cancer that is fairly small then the usual recommendations are lumpectomy followed by radiation. If the tumor is large, then mastectomy would be the option.
Depending on how many lymph nodes are involved and the results of the oncotype test you might also need chemo.
Once again you can decide not to do any treatment.
It would help us if we knew your age and your family situation. This would help us to try to give you the advice you have asked us for. Please give us some more information.
Perhaps if yoiu check out the WebMD page WebMD's 10 Important Questions to Ask Your Doctor About Breast Cancer you will find some questions to propose at your appointment and get the answers you need to make good decisions. Always ask lots of questions and don't let them not be answered to your total understanding. Get a 2nd and 3rd opinion if you are still uncomfortable with the responses (or lack thereof!).
You will be in our thoughts.
Don't give up five minutes before the miracle!!
Treatments are a personal decision. And being your own advocate and doing a great amount of research IS a must!
You will be given a recurrance % once the proper testing is done on the cancer tissue they remove/removed. Maybe you should wait and make your decision upon receiving that report.It is a very important test and gives a better look at what you are dealing with. Ask your surgeon about this test. I think it is referred to as an Oncotype test. This test is VERY important. If given a choice opt for the test which they may be doing as we speak. Most do.
That is the best advice I can give you at this point. Once you have the whole picture, you will know what you need to do. I did not hesitate on treatment. But that was what seemed right for me. As of yet, I do not regret my decision.
Please return and let us know. And I wish you the best of luck.
I am seeing a surgeon in Lubbock, Tx wednesday pobably seek a second opinion at MD Anderson.
I know the biggest thing is wait for the surgeons reccomendations. But I want to put my eggs all in a row so I will know what to ask, regardless of her answer.
My hubby told me he wanted me to do treatments because wanted me around for a long time. I told him he needed to lose weight so he would be aroung to take care of me.
I had a Stage 1 cancer last summer and a Stage 3 recurrence this spring. I am throwing the book at this beast because DH and I have some dreams yet unfulfilled. And grandkids to love and watch grow. And I told my DH that if I was going to go through this aggressive treatment, then he owed me...and by that I meant that he needs to lose weight so he will be here to enjoy life with me. So there you have it! When I am through treatment, he is going on the wagon, one way or the other!
As for trying to have all your eggs in a row, it might be better to take it a little at a time. Believe me, it can all be overwhelming and trying to decide everything without all the facts is really impossible. I try to take it one day at a time, one hour at a time, and sometimes one minute at a time.
You're young, and you have one of the best cancer centers at your fingertips (MD Anderson). So try to breathe, listen to your options, then make your decisions. It will get a little easier as time goes on.
Thank you for answering my questions. These are some questions to ask:
1. Why is he suggesting one type of surgery over the other (lumpectomy vs. mastectomy)?
2. If lumpectomy is she able to do that surgery so you can have brachytherapy - internal radiation, nstead of external beam radiation? If not, why not?
3. If mastectomy - are you a candidate for skin and nipple sparing mastectomy?
4. Reconstruction or not - if reconstruction can she recommend a plastic surgeon that specializes in that? Do you want immediatiate or delayed reconstruction? When you see a PS ask him if he is able to do the different types of reconstruction, implants, DIEPP, SIEA, Latissumus dorsal flap, GAP and the newest micro fat grafting. Research each one to see what you feel you would like.
5. Is the surgeon doing a sentinel node biopsy done?
6. Is the tumor being sent out to have an Oncotype Test done?
Hopefully this helps you. As I said previously I am close in age to you with a similar diagnosis and had all the treatments and tolerated them all very well.
Please let us know how your visit with the surgeon turns out.

The day after two suspected burglars were arrested and accused of of stealing more than $22,000 in firearms, jewelry and electronics from at least four Howard County residences, they were released on $15,000 bail, court officials said this week.
Howard County prosecutors said they tried to increase the bond, but without success.
"I don't believe $15,000 would be the first number that came to mind," said Natasha M. Byus, the Howard County assistant state's attorney handling the case. "I did not have an opportunity to speak with the commissioner before the bond was set."
Both Joseph Leo Baumgarten, 40, and Dianna Lynn Marketti, 30, posted the full bail on Oct. 5 after being charged with 25 counts each, including first-, second- and fourth-degree burglary, breaking and entering and destruction of property for their alleged involvement in burglaries in Columbia, Ellicott City and Woodbine.
Police said the duo is suspected in 10 more burglaries that they haven't yet been charged in, but followed a similar style— the suspects would kick-in a door, find their way to the master bedroom, ransack it and steal valuables.
In late September, police issued a statement asking residents to be vigilant after 10 burglaries matching this style occurred in one week.
According to Byus, the District Court Commissioner set the bail before the state's attorney's office could make a recommendation on the suspects' bail.
Byus filed a motion shortly after the suspects were released on bail asking that the court set a bond of $600,000 for Baumgarten and $300,000 for Marketti.
In Byus's motion, she noted that Baumgarten, of Pasadena, had violated his parole five times previously after being convicted of burglary for three offenses from 1996, one from 2002 and another from 2008. She also noted that Baumgarten had failed to appear in court for traffic offenses on five occasions.
Marketti, who is listed at an address in Dundalk in court records, currently has 15 active traffic cases, most of which are for driving on a suspended license, with one as recent as Sept. 26, according to court records.
In the court documents pertaining to this case, it was noted that in the four burglaries currently charged to Baumgarten and Marketti, police said they allegedly stole more than $10,000 worth of jewelry and six firearms, including a .40 caliber Beretta Cougar and a Taurus .38 special, among other items.
Howard County police, who tracked down the suspects through Baltimore Ravens tickets and combing local pawn shops, declined to comment on the suspects' release.
Byus said she has asked the court to place a hearing on the calendar as soon as possible to adjust the suspects' bail in the case.
"I am hoping that a Circuit Court judge would consider the motion and provide an appropriate bond that would require their presence in upcoming hearings, and, more importantly, ensure the safety of Howard County residents," said Byus.

Police gear up for round two on Tasers
On February 4, the San Francisco Police Commission will hold the second of three planned community meetings to gauge support for a pilot program to arm 100 SFPD officers with Tasers. The controversial proposal pits police Chief Greg Suhr, a proponent, against civil liberties organizations and homeless advocates who are mobilizing public opposition to the Taser initiative.
Shortly after being appointed police chief in 2011, Suhr said arming the SFPD with Tasers would not be a top priority. But following the police shooting of a mentally ill man last July, Suhr has pushed the Police Commission to allow members of the cities Crisis Intervention Team (CIT)—who receive special training to deal with the mentally ill—to carry Tasers.
Since the shooting, Suhr has repeatedly argued that Tasers would help save lives and reduce instances of gun use. "You do have to have as many tools in the tool box before you go to guns," he said at the first community forum.
The ACLU and local homeless advocates disagree.
"Every time there is an officer-involved shooting, the department uses it as an excuse to outfit officers with Tasers," ACLU attorney Micaela Davis told the Guardian. "We continue to believe that Tasers are not a good alternative to firearms and we fear that officers run the risk of going to Tasers too early in a confrontation instead of using de-escalation techniques."
Equipping CIT officers with Tasers would inject the controversial stun guns into already tense confrontations between the mentally ill and the SFPD.
Lisa Marie Alatorre, an organizer with the San Francisco Homelessness Coalition, argues Tasers could have a devastating effect on the city's homeless population. "The CIT typically deals with people in crisis, people who are mentally ill, and people who are currently destitute and have nowhere to live," she told the Guardian. "The use of Tasers in the midst of a crisis will cause severe trauma and could inflict significant psychological damage."
Both the Coalition on Homelessness and the ACLU charge that the SFPD has dragged its feet in implementing the nonviolent components of the CIT program. Less than 75 officers have been trained in nonviolent confrontational strategies since the program's adoption last summer, and Alatorre charges SFPD has yet to implement protocols that would bring the program to fruition.
Police Commissioner Angela Chan, a longtime proponent of the CIT program, echoed these concerns. "We need to improve our de-escalation tactics with regards to crisis intervention. Many of the steps to train and implement CIT have not yet been implemented and that's where we need to focus our energies," she told the Guardian.
Despite strong local opposition to Tasers, they are becoming standard equipment for police departments across the nation. SFPD officers are hopeful that public opposition does not kill this pilot program, like similar attempts before it.
Sgt. Michael Andraychak, a spokesperson with the SFPD, argued that equipping CIT officers with Tasers would give police more flexibility to use force without engaging their firearms.
"On the street, not every situation can be managed in a nonviolent fashion," he told the Guardian. "CIT is a great program, and the implementation of Tasers would give those officers an additional tool to use before they have to escalate to deadly force."
Police commissioners will make a final decision about Tasers after the third community meeting, which is scheduled for Feb. 11 at the Bayview Opera House.
The next community forum on the SFPD Taser pilot program will be held on Feb. 4 from 6-8pm at the Scottish Rite Center, 2850 19th Ave, in SF.
I did say both that Grant brought it on himself.
And that any jury would look sympathetically on the cop who had that accident because they would understand the pressure he would have been placed under by the presence and misbehavior of a felonious thug like Grant.
that it found Mesherle guilty. No jury sentenced Oscar Grant to death.
Extrajudicial assassination apologist troll.
Gee, ever wonder why?
I know why.
That's why!!
This from the one who says African Americans "are grateful to Europeans for their enslavement, if not, they should be."
Disgusting racist troll. Just like the Guest above, who may well be the same person as you.
which is what makes up most of the "grease" in "greasy, berzerk, and perfidious."
Who thinks he's "down with the peeps" but who nervously looks over his shoulder when a blank man passes him on the sidewalk and who views Asians as a "peril" threatening his straight, white male privilege.
In other words - progressive white male troll. Like most trolls here.
... and of course Greg already covered the "perfidious."
Now that's a bold-faced lie. Oscar Grant wasn't handcuffed when he was shot. One hand was under his stomach. Even John Burris didn't say that he was handcuffed when he was shot.
Just because you hate the SFPD because they stopped you from beating and raping little kids and showed everyone that you're a child molesting coward, don't spew your insane lies. Every day criminals like you and your "family" and friends commit crimes against law-abiding, taxpaying American Citizens and it's time we started to do something to keep animals like you away from people that matter. Tasers, guns are fine because they are ALWAYS ONLY USED ON CRIMINALS! If you don't like it, move back to Pakistan and go back to beheading little kids.

Having been tortured ay Occupy SF by vhemical warfare and robbed by SFPD for protesting upon Greg Suhr's order, I am an authority on his utter incompetency as a credible officer of the law.

Tasers are meant as a deterrent. They might be able to save you in a life or death situation, but I guarantee I would feel a lot safer knowing that my police officers are carrying guns as well.
so much anger in the comments - maybe people just have different preferences?
so much PR flacks paid by police unions in the comments- maybe people just don't like being murdered by police who seek to evade punishment?

Conn. reaches deal on tough gun laws after Newtown
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) Connecticut lawmakers announced a deal Monday on what they called some of the toughest gun laws in the country that were proposed after the December mass shooting in the state, including a ban on new high-capacity ammunition magazines like the ones used in the massacre that left 20 children and six educators dead.
The proposal includes new registration requirements for existing magazines that carry 10 or more bullets, something of a disappointment for some family members of Newtown victims who wanted an outright ban on the possession of all high-capacity magazines and traveled to the state Capitol on Monday to ask lawmakers for it.
The package also creates what lawmakers said is the nation's first statewide dangerous weapon offender registry, creates a new "ammunition eligibility certificate," imposes immediate universal background checks for all firearms sales, and extends the state's assault weapons ban to 100 new types of firearms and requires that a weapon have only one of several features in order to be banned.
The newly banned weapons could no longer be bought or sold in Connecticut, and those legally owned already would have to be registered with the state, just like the high-capacity magazines.
Conn. reaches deal on tough gun laws after NewtownDo not war for peace. If you must war, war for justice. For without justice there is no peace. -me

More politicians happily taking a shit on the constitution. Maybe we do need a civil war.'Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a
delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly
promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely

NORMAN — A man was taken into custody by Norman police at 3:31 p.m. today after he reportedly threatened himself and others.
A SWAT team was deployed to 1617 Farmington Ave. at 1:15 p.m., and Norman police officers blocked off Farmington and Beverly Hills after a man reportedly barricaded himself in his home with firearms.
"We received a call from a third party that a male occupant of that address is making threats to harm himself and others and is under the influence of alcohol and drugs," Capt. Tom Easley said.
Easley said the "others" threatened by the man were police officers.
Police negotiators worked for a peaceful resolution. No one was harmed during the incident. Easley said the man will be evaluated. An ambulance and a fire engine also were deployed.

NoSQL and Document-oriented Databases
A Quick Look: CouchDB
CouchDB is a NoSQL database being offered by the Apache Software Foundation. It's among the most popular implementations of these types of databases.
NoSQL and Document Oriented Databases
Chances are, you've spent your entire database life with relational databases. Data gets organized into columns, and stored in rows. You manipulate data with SQL (Structured Query Language) and there's really no other way to do it. There are competing SQL servers out there (MySQL, SQLite, etc), but they all more or less operate in the same way. But there's much more out there than SQL databas…

The six schools in the Greenfield School District, and all four in the Whitnall School District, meet or exceed the state expectations as measured by new preliminary school report cards issued by the Wisconsin Department of Public instruction.
Grades were given on a 100-point maximum scale. Scores between 83-100 means a school significantly exceeds expectations; 73-82.9 exceeds expectations; 63-72.9 meets expectations and so on.
Schools are scored on four categories: student achievement, student growth, closing gaps and on-track and postsecondary readiness.
Two of Greenfield's four elementary schools graded out as exceeding expectations: Maple Grove (74.4) and Elm Dale (74.2).
Maple Grove received very high marks in closing the gap (78.4) and on-track / postsecondary readiness (87.2). Elm Dale's highest scores came in the on-track / postsecondary readiness (88.5) and student achievement (72.4) categories.
Greenfield's other elementary schools, Edgewood (70.0) and Glenwood (67.3) "meet expectations," as do the middle (67.2) and high (69.0) high schools.
Neither Superintendent Conrad Farner nor Director of Educational Services Todd Bugnacki was immediately available for comment Monday.
Whitnall's four schools landed right where that district's superintendent expected them to.
The district's elementary schools — Edgerton (81.6) and Hales Corners (73.1) — both exceed expectations, as does the middle school (74.4). The high school's 72.8 just missed the cutoff for "exceeds."
"That's exactly what we expect," Superintendent Lowell Holtz said of his district's grades. "We projected that with the new measures of standards, the actual scores would be lower than the public had seen in the past, but we still compare favorably to other districts."
All four schools achieved "exceeds expectations" in both student achievement and on-track / postsecondary readiness. Edgerton tallied a district-best 81.0 in student achievement, and three of the four schools were in the 90s in on-track / postsecondary readiness.
Holtz said that should come as no surprise.
"The categories that focus on academic achievement and readiness, that's what we've been focused on for the last decade, and obviously, we scored well in those areas," Holtz said. "We're looking forward to working with those new report cards, raise the bar and shoot even higher."

These down-home preserves showcase the natural sweetness of ripe local blueberries, handpicked in Tennessee's Great Smoky Mountains. Artisans craft the preserves in small batches, adding only golden cane sugar and a splash of lemon juice so that the fruit takes center stage. Because these old-fashioned preserves are made without pectin, they have a thinner, more delicate consistency than most high-sugar, mass-produced jams.

Talks between school bus drivers and school bus companies ended with no progress Monday.
Former Judge Milton Mollen, 93, is back playing the part of mediator, as he did during the first bus drivers' strike in 1979, which lasted three months. He said this time around it may take a little longer for the strike to be settled.
Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1181 wants an Employee Protection Provision (EPP) included in any city contract up for bids in order to save their jobs.
City officials say they cannot cannot legally do that.
"It's another hot potato, I've had other hot potatoes," Mollen said.
While Mayor Michael Bloomberg set up the morning meetings at Gracie Mansion, he did not attend.
The union and the bus companies say he needs to be there.
"The mediator heard both sides of the argument. And he felt it was his duty to report back to the mayor who set up this meeting," said Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1181 President Michael Cordiello.
Afterwards, Cordiello repeated in a statement that while Monday's meeting was a "step in the right direction," the mayor and City Hall officials need to attend so all sides could "move towards a resolution and end this strike."
Peter Silverman, a representative of the school bus companies, echoed the point, saying, "We don't hold the keys to this strike. The city holds the keys to this. If the city gets involved, I think that would be productive and helpful."
The National Labor Relations Board is expected to rule on their challenge in the coming days.
More than 150,000 students have been affected by the strike.
The Department of Education says city public schools had an overall attendance rate of 91.3 percent, but only 67.5 percent of students attended District 75 (special needs) schools.
Throughout the entire strike, there has been about a reduction of roughly 20 percentage points in District 75 schools' attendance.

Robocalypse Alert: New Transistor Mimics Synapse Functions
Talk of androids, advanced computer-based brain simulations and war robots is very exiting, but the development of artificial intelligence has been slightly stumped by a lack of transistors that work like our brains do. Until now.
Now, thanks to scientists in France, we have the NOMFET--the nanoparticle organic memory field-effect transistor. It's an organic-based device that uses pentacene and gold nanoparticles. The pentacene is a coating on the gold, which is embedded in the channel of a semiconducting transistor. This results in the transistor having the same type of switching/amplification behavior as a usual transistor with the benefits of a sort of "memory effect."
The upshot of this memory effect is that the NOMFET behaves in a similar way to the manner of an organic synapse as it transmits a signal between neurons--it can modify its reaction to incoming signals based on events that happened before, or on the nature of the signal it's dealing with at that moment. As a result it will allow for simplified chip-based simulations of a brain-type system, with far fewer semiconductor components than have been needed previously.
This has repercussions for neuron-inspired artificial brain designs, which may now be more densely constructed. The technology of artificial brains may be significantly boosted as a result--which means we may see better machine vision hardware. And, of course, the artificial synapses may be used to boost the artificial intelligence of the sort of robots that get sci-fi fans all hot under the collar.

Brace yourself.
Here comes the October Surprise. The event that alters presidential elections.
Forget Greece leaving the Euro. That won't happen until after the elections. Forget bombing Iran. That will be on hold. Same with Turkey or NATO invading Syria. All put in stall mode.
Each of these possibilities would cause too many unintended consequences — mostly negative. Thus, to be avoided at all costs.
However, after President Barack Obama's poor debate performance against Gov. Romney, even Democratic stalwarts admit it is time for some kind of game-changing event.
The momentum is with Romney. The trajectory is with Romney. And Americans love a come-from-behind race.
What to do?
First up, excuses. Call Romney a "liar," "a serial liar," etc. That failed. Most Americans believe all politicians are "liars." Some just more artful than others.
The first $100 million in anti-Romney ads got wiped out with that one debate performance. Romney did not appear to be all those "bad-ad" things. He wasn't a two-dimensional cutout that caused women and children to weep and "banksters" to cheer.
Instead, he came across as witty, humane, well-prepared and yes, very presidential. And the polls reflect it. Huge gains in swing states. Massive numbers in the "who won" polls immediately after. A CNN poll showed a whopping 67 percent to 25 percent Romney win.
A CBS instant poll gave Romney a 2-to-1 win over Obama among uncommitted voters.
Even more stunning, California watchers thought Romney bested Obama by a 48 percent to 34 percent margin, according to CBSlocal.com.
Even San Francisco voters gave Romney the edge!
The only thing superior to Romney's actual performance was the brilliance of the timing. The debate debacle for Obama came before a three-day weekend (meaning the storyline of a deflated president will linger in the air for several news cycles).
The massive 60 million-plus audience won't view an Obama-Romney rematch until Oct. 16. And voting has already started in many states with absentee and mail-in ballots. Thus, the damage could not have been inflicted at a more effective inflection point. Put simply, the knockout came in the 14th round of a heavyweight championship bout. Climbing off the canvas becomes far more difficult.
Next up, is the vice presidential debate between Joe Biden and Paul Ryan on Thursday.
Pinning the president's hopes on a Joe Biden left hook is what counts as strategy this week. Again, barring a major misstep by the careful, but sometimes too-energetic Ryan, this will not be the October surprise.
The real October surprise depends on Hillary Clinton or Ann Romney.
Stay with me here. Women will decide this election. Perhaps they already have. Perhaps not. In 2008, 10 million more women voted than men. The gender gap is wide, according to the National Journal.
Obama's single greatest advantage, in raw numbers, has been women.
Then came Ann Romney. The Republican campaign's secret weapon. She took on the Republicans in Michigan telling them to "wake up"—and salvaged her husband's sagging primary campaign. She has taken massive, public blows, such as Hilary Rosen's dig, "She's never worked a day in her life," and always responded with humor and class. And, she has talked movingly, in countless appearances, on topics dear to women: family, breast cancer, children, grandchildren, etc., without a hint of self-pity. And hammered home the "jobs, jobs, jobs" theme for all of those women who are facing their own income losses.
In short, Ann Romney has put a positive, feminine face on the GOP and done so with the grace and courage of an Acapulco cliff diver. She, more than anyone, has worked to close that gender gap by defending all women (stay-at-home moms, working women, caregivers sandwiched between generations in need, the elderly, sick, etc.), and by sharing her own debilitating, near-death experience with multiple sclerosis.
On Wednesday, Ann Romney will again get to display all those character strengths—in front of a huge television audience, when she co-hosts Good Morning America—a coup for ABC's morning show.
Talk about timing. If the momentum from the presidential debate, the newfound enthusiasm among the base, a lackluster performance by Biden on Thursday, and the temperate good-humor and grace of Ann Romney keep the momentum going, there may need to be a 3 a.m. phone call to Hillary Clinton.
Don't laugh. Who is the most admired woman in the U.S.? Hillary Clinton.
Who has been the Democratic party's workhorse for decades? Hillary Clinton.
Who stood by her man and ensured his re-election in the midst of impeachment proceedings and the Monica Lewinsky scandal? Hillary Clinton.
Who, as Secretary of State has logged more miles, negotiated with more heads of state and delivered the most "loyal of loyals" performances? Hillary Clinton.
Who won the most Democratic votes in the 2008 Democratic primaries? Hillary Clinton.
And who currently leads the president by almost 20 points in favorability ratings? Hillary Clinton.
Add to this the millions of women still fuming over that pretzel palace Democratic primary vote result (who would volunteer en masse, donate more money, plus re-energize the Democratic base), and you understand why Obama now, more than ever, needs Hillary Clinton on the ticket. Talk about changing the news cycle.
"How?" you may ask.
Think fast. If Biden tanks, the swing states move toward Romney and the election looks to be a loss, Obama has limited choices: more negative ads (hasn't worked); a stellar debate in round two and three (may be too late); or a call to all the delegates from the Democratic convention to approve the switch to Hillary from Joe.
Reason: Biden's health takes a turn.
Don't think others aren't thinking this. If Biden bombs and Obama slumps (internal polls will show this way before the press gets it), the 3 a.m. call may come. No matter that the ballots have been printed. With a few shenanigans, the party can switch its VP.
Ultimately, the Electoral College is what matters. And those individuals will decide who is president and who is vice president.
Look to the coming performances of Hillary Clinton and Ann Romney for the October surprise. They are both forces of nature this October. And both winners.
Lady Macbeth never had so good a part to play.

It wasn't pretty, but the New Albany Bulldogs found a way to keep their winning streak alive on Tuesday night at The Doghouse.
Despite not hitting a field goal in the fourth quarter, New Albany's clutch free-throw shooting in the final stanza helped it gut out a 43-35 victory over Hoosier Hills Conference rival Jennings County.
With the victory, the Bulldogs (13-6, 5-2 HHC) extended their win streak to five games and prevailed for the ninth time in 10 contests. They also clinched third place in the HHC.
If New Albany defeats Seymour in the first round of next Tuesday's Class 4A Seymour Sectional, the Bulldogs will face the Panthers again in the semifinals.
Although New Albany came out with a victory, it recorded its season-low in scoring. The Panthers (12-9, 4-3) had a season-low point total as well.
"I thought our kids were a step behind tonight," Bulldogs' coach Jim Shannon said. "I don't know if it's because we played Friday and Saturday, we practiced [Monday] and then played again tonight. It's that time of year when we probably need to be resting a little bit and we're not. We're playing all the time. I don't know how much we learned from this game.
"I don't think we played great, but I don't think they played great either. It's a good one to get out of the way."
New Albany looked like it was going to pull away from Jennings in the third. With the Bulldogs up 22-18 early in the period, they reeled off eight consecutive points to go up 30-18.
New Albany maintained its 12-point lead at 36-24 late in the quarter after a layup by senior guard Jermaine Parrish.
But Jennings would not go away.
The Panthers went on a 7-0 run to slice their deficit down to 36-31 with 3:54 left to play.
Meanwhile, the Bulldogs missed their first four shots of the quarter as their fans had to start thinking, "Here we go, again." Throughout the course of the season, New Albany has blown several double-digit leads and ended up on the losing end.
"We believe in our kids. I mean, we've got confidence in them. But we made some offensive errors that we've just got to get better at," Shannon said. "In [the sectional], you're going to have to be able to play with a lead."
But the Bulldogs did not give in on Tuesday night.
New Albany's Garrett Arnold and Jeff Byrne each hit both ends of 1-and-1 situations to put the Bulldogs up 40-31 with 1:38 remaining, but a Bailey Sanders putback and a Brad Hunt dunk cut New Albany's lead to 40-35.
Bulldog senior Josh Rogers responded by nailing both ends of a 1-and-1 to up New Albany's advantage to 42-35 with 40.5 seconds left. Twenty seconds later, Byrne sealed the victory by knocking down the second free throw in a two-shot situation.
In the fourth, the Bulldogs made 7-of-8 foul shots despite going 0-of-5 from the floor.
"We made them. We've been hitting them pretty good," Shannon said. "If we get the right guys up there, we're in pretty good shape."
Parrish paced New Albany with a game-high 18 points, shooting 7-of-12 from the field and 2-of-3 from 3-point range. He scored 13 points in the opening quarter, making all five of his field-goal attempts.
"He was hitting everywhere — jumpers, 3's and taking it all the way to the rack," Shannon said about Parrish's opening quarter. "He was probably the difference-maker in the game. It was a pretty close game and I think he helped keep it at an eight-point difference. He was good tonight."
Byrne tallied 11 points, while Arnold chipped in eight. All of Arnold's points came in the second half, as he hit all three of his field goals and both free-throw attempts.
"Garrett has got to give us offense — I mean he just has to. He did a nice job in the second half," Shannon said. "It can't just be Josh's and Jeffrey's 3's and Jermaine did his part. Now, we need Garrett to do his and I think we'll be fine. This is a good team."
Sanders and teammate Tommy Taylor each scored 11 points, while Hunt chipped in nine.
New Albany will host Bloomington North on Friday.

Internet Calls Fat Girl 'Fat' And Her Response Is ... Perfect
Now THIS is how you deal with Internet trolls.
Jump to :48 to find out her secret and to 2:36 to watch her totally own it.
Meghan Tonjes: So today is a very important blog because I, as of recent, have been getting some old school YouTube fat hate. [Music] [Sings lyrics from Aaliyah And Timbaland's "Try Again"] I don't even know how to respond to it anymore because I'm like, 'Oh, oh! This still exists?' Many of you know that I created project Life Size because I used to get a significant amount of hate when I was like 19 or 20 and I was first starting out on YouTube. And as someone who has been through her fair share of dealing with body issues and being made to feel less than. And growing into a person who doesn't hate themselves or think that they are not deserving of love or respect. I wanted to create a place where we could discuss actual issues. And also, I wanted to feel a little less alone in the world - know that there were other people in the world who also didn't completely hate themselves because of the size of their body.
I'm going to let you in on a little secret, I'm fat. I know, it's pretty crazy. I'm not skinny. I'm not a skinny girl. I'm a big girl. I have a big butt. Just because when I'm filming videos doesn't mean I'm hiding this, it just means it's more convenient for you to see my face instead of me just filming this all the time. I'm a fat girl. I'm a tall girl. I'm from Michigan. I have boobs! I have bad eyesight. That's why I wear glasses. These are all things you know from watching my videos. I'm not ashamed of any of them. I'm not offended by your calling me fat. I am fat. That is a fact. I'm fat. It's OK. We're still here. It's OK. I'm technically obese though I was morbidly obese last year.
After adopting a whole foods diet, I've lost over 60 pounds. Though when you try to link my being fat with my being unhealthy, you should know that is not the case. I think it's important to remember that the word 'fat' is not in itself hurtful. It's all the things you attach to the word 'fat.' Call me lazy. Call me unmotivated. Call me ugly. Call my sloppy. Call me unhygienic. Call me all these other things that people associate with fat - that is not true. You never know where someone is in their journey with their weight and you never know how someone feels about themselves. I look at all things that I've accomplished when people told me I couldn't do it because of the way I look. And all I can say to you trying to tear that down is, 'F- [bleep] you.'
Why does it hurt you, if I don't hate myself? My body is a good body. My body is a strong body. It's one that I take pretty good care of. Don't act like you know any different. You're not going to tell me who I am. You're not going to do it. This person also wanted to point out that I live at home. I'm actually at home because my grandma was in a coma. So I was visiting family. So thank you for that. So in summation, fat, awesome. Neither of those things necessarily make the other one true or negate the other one. Suck it, haters!

Essential Info
Using the latest technology, the Montage Premier Massage Chair Recliner is equipped with features to put you in your most relaxed and tranquil state, all in the comfort of your own home. The massage chair offers stimulation and relief for just about every part of your body, for a full body sensory and massage experience. Each of the five automatic programs, Relaxation, Activation, Vitality, Night, and Morning, is designed for a specific purpose. Four manual massage techniques are also available, including Kneading, Tapping, Rolling, and Shiatsu (a combination of kneading and tapping). In addition, you can select from four back courses - choose from Whole Back, Thoracic, Cervical, and Lumbar - to provide relief in the area you need it the most. The back rollers can also be manually adjusted to pinpoint and focus on a specific area of your back. All programming can be set and adjusted from the easy-to-use VFD display or infrared sub remote control. Programs can be timed from 5 to 30 minutes, adjustable in 5 minute increments.
A motorized backrest and footrest allow the chair to be reclined or inclined at the press of a button. The backrest and footrest can operated both simultaneously or independently. The footrest can be extended an extra four inches for longer legs and the front can also tilt up to 90 degrees to put your feet at the most comfortable angle. Adjust the massage roller to be wider or narrower to best fit each body type and change the intensity level to meet your preference. Reflexology, traction, heat, and air pressure can be used to stimulate and soothe the hips, lower body, feet, and arms and hands as needed. Whether the chair is applying pressure, heat, or vibrations, you will be sure to find a program to alleviate soreness, aches, and general pains in your muscles and joints. No matter where you hurt, this massage chair is sure to provide a program for what ails you.
To put you in a deeper relaxed state, the chair also utilizes the power of music therapy. An MP3 player is built directly into the chair and also includes a set of headphones. Professional masseuses often incorporate sound to put you in a state of serenity and this massage chair does the same. Compatible with Windows 2000/XP, the MP3 player allows you to listen to your favorite tunes during your massage. Download songs into the chair with the included USB music stick, put on your headphones, set your desired program, and let the chair melt away the stresses and tension of life while you enter a state of utter bliss.
This massage chair recliner is also available in

More Info
Hundreds of studies have been conducted to confirm the benefits of massage. Not only does massage alleviate stress and muscle tension, it can reduce headaches, improve sleep, remove wastes and toxins from your system, strengthen your immune system, allow for faster recovery from injuries, enhance athletic performance, and leave you feeling invigorated and energized. In addition to physical benefits, the power of massage offers several mental benefits, including: renewed sense of calmness, decreased depression and anxiety, reduced fatigue, positive body image, higher levels of self-esteem, and an enhanced connection between the mind and body. Massage has been reported to be beneficial to people of any age, from infants to the elderly, with a variety of conditions, from arthritis to diabetes to manic depression.
The Montage Premier Massage Chair offers four classic massage techniques for your back:
This technique feels like the fingers and thumbs of two hands squeezing in unison as they carefully work their way upwards to loosen stiffness.
With this technique, the rollers go up and down to stretch the ligaments of your back, relieving pressure from compressed cervical discs.
Like two hands rhythmically tapping to penetrate into the muscles, this technique is recommended as a finishing massage.
Kneading & Tapping Combination
This technique invigorates and loosens up stiff muscles and is ideal for zeroing in on sites of tension.
In addition, the massage chair also offers the following therapeutic functions for a full body sensory experience:
By warming your muscles, they begin to loosen to make massaging techniques more effective.
Several strategically placed nodules in the foot channels are utilized to activate acupressure points in the feet, releasing tension and increasing lower body circulation.
Lower Body Traction
Designed to elongate and stretch out your lower body muscles for better flexibility. While holding the feet and calves in place, the footrest is raised and lowered to stretch muscles and joints.
Air Pressure
With specially designed airbags to mimic the movements of a massage therapist, this massage function targets your buttocks, thighs, hips, calves, and feet. Gently squeezing, holding, and then releasing your muscles, this function stimulates your capillary vessels and increases blood circulation.
Music Therapy
A professional masseuse may use music to create a calming atmosphere, causing your body to relax and maximize the effects of massage. This chair's built-in MP3 player and included headphones help to soothe your mind and relax the body via the ears. The rhythm of your massage can even keep time with the music for a greater connection between body and mind.

The 1976 Autozodiaco All-Cars Charly is your weird car moment of zen
Seventies Italian microcar can be yours for only $12,500
May we introduce you to the blue wedge pictured above -- the incongruously named Charly, the brainchild of Italianate dune buggy purveyors Autozodiaco. Which, like all the world's greatest companies -- Honda, Ferrari, et al. -- leapt from the singular vision of one man: the exotically named Mario Zodiaco, who saw Steve McQueen in The Thomas Crown Affair and was immediately inspired to build dune buggies. Zodiaco journeyed to California, the spiritual and literal home of the dune buggy, as soon as he could. When he returned to his native Bologna he brought one back. Traffic stopped -- in 1968, the Italians had never seen such a sleek, curvaceous machine!
Well, maybe they had. But the dream was well on its way for young Zodiaco. Autozodiaco built, among other things, a road-going buggy called the Damaca that resembled a targa-topped bar of soap cut to resemble a child's rendering of a Pantera -- which was indeed penned by Pantera designer Tom Tjaarda, in case you're looking for that Malaise-riffic Six Degrees of Separation. It built a knobby-tired motorcycle called the Moto Zodiaco Tuareg that was more capable than a Volkswagen product of a similar name. It built a Beetle-based Manx-lookalike buggy called the Deserter, also sold as the Jumper. Truth in advertising. Which doesn't explain why its microcar, which we can presume this is, was known as the "Charly."
Does it look like a Charly? People tell me I'm more of a Samantha, but deep down inside I've always been a Carrie. In other countries it was called the "Snuggy," evidently for its comforting, wraparound nature as well as its pseudo-ironic fashion sensibilities. Autozodiaco created the design, then promptly sold it to a concern called, simply, All-Cars, which churned these from its Pianoro factory from 1974 to 1985. Like so many historical microcar oddities, just one survives -- one freakishly well-preserved example from someone who we can only assume has a stack of receipts taller than his divorce paperwork.
Looking like the unholy union of a Manfrotto tripod, a Bond Bug, and a dreidel, its Rhapsody in Blue fiberglass body contains, for a start, a steering wheel presumably ripped from a spezzatura-laden Jegs catalog, mounted to the right -- though it could have just been as easily mounted in the center for all of your McLaren F1 fantasies. Somewhere out there, a Pullman R46 Eighth Avenue Express subway car is missing a bench seat. Stickshifts and safetybelts, bucket seats have all got to go. Mouse-fur upholstery covers the doors, thin and tinny like a Chinese-made snare drum. Who wants to bet that wiper blade was a $120 "Convenience Package"? Remember, living small isn't just a lifestyle, it's an obsession. Best hope your Expedition-driving cohorts don't catch you making faces at them through the pentagonal side windows, both designed and installed by an enthusiastic 12-year-old with a keen eye for this car business, the cute lil' tyke.
This 1976 example won an award somewhere and is "without a doubt, the nicest all original Charly in existence," which is kind of like having the nicest toenails of all your girlfriend's exes: nice on paper but dubious in practicality. It's only got 161 kilometers on the metaphorical clock, 160 of those presumably driven in terror. In some states you'd be able to register this as a motorcycle, or an electric bicycle, or a Shriner parade car. There's a 49cc Moto Morini engine mounted in back somewhere, which might actually be the most reliable Italian powerplant ever made. It smokes just like its Camel counterpart. (We would have preferred Nazionlis or Modianos.) Is it faster in motion, or standing still? Remember, a 49cc two-stroke that fits in the palm of your hand might top out at, say, a brisk walking pace, but don't forget that the Earth moves around the sun at 67,000 miles per hour. So, uh, there's that.
More than likely it is the same car that sold at the prestigious Mecum auction in October as part of a buy one, get one free deal -- ok, for $5,250, to someone who may want to remain nameless. Now, you can buy it from an entirely different auction for $12,500. Just think -- in an alternate universe, this is what Colin Chapman is building instead of bug-eyed sports cars. We say that's worth the

Facilities were largely clean and tidy plus the triple bunk bed concept was a pretty fascinating concept! Would be good if more washrooms/shower rooms could be provided for use.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
This hostel is in a great location and really easy to get to from the airport on a A11 bus. I was impressed with how clean the hostel was. Good wifi reception and a really friendly crowd to spend the week with. Staff weren't overly helpful with personal queries, but others staying there were able to point me in the right direction. At $50 NZ a night it wasn't the cheapest rates I've paid for similar accommodation, but perhaps that's usual for Hong Kong.

Bones found under bathtub at a house on 8th Street in Chickasha turned out to be those of a cow, Police Chief Eddie Adamson said.
"The owners were remodeling the house, and found what they thought looked like bones," he said. "They called us, we looked at it and they were definitely bones."
Adamson said CPD officers had a medical examiner investigate the remains.
"They said they were cow bones," said Adamson. "The house was built back in the '40s, and they probably slaughtered a cow, tossed its bones in a pit and built over it."
Adamson said CPD conducted no further investigation.
