Leading Bystanderby John Dickerson, Slate
Chris Christie made a rousing call for leadership at the Reagan Library Tuesday night. He outlined what it looks like (a certain New Jersey governor) and what it doesn't (a sitting U.S. president). "We continue wait and hope that our president will finally stop being a bystander in the Oval Office," he said. "We hope that he will shake off the paralysis that has made it impossible for him to take on the really big things." Read more

Arnould: Europe Needs to Manage Wars Independently of U.S.By James Kitfield, National Journal
On his final swan-song tour of Europe this past summer, former Defense Secretary Robert Gates issued what amounted to a primal scream of frustration from a Cold War warrior who tried to lead the NATO alliance in a time of war, only to discover that it stubbornly remains less than the sum of its parts. Unless European nations stopped slashing defense spending, he warned, the trans-Atlantic alliance faced the "real possibility of a dim, if not dismal future."Read more
The Christie ShuffleBy John Dickerson, Slate
Round and round the speculation has swirled over whether New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie will jump into the presidential race. After his speech Tuesday night, only one conclusion is possible: Chris Christie is not running for president until such time as he decides he will run for president, which he might announce in a sentence that abuts a previous one denying that he's running for president. Twice he was asked about his intentions. Once he seemed to say he wasn't running. The second time he suggested he was considering it. The effect could only have been improved if he had spoken while circling a mulberry bush.Read more

Sorry to hear that, Bridget.
I'm sorry Bridget.
Thank you so much my dear ladies. I really do value your support. And I am sorry to come here bringing sadness all of the time, but thankful that I can.
Bridget I'm so sorry.
My mom had her biopsy today. The person who did the procedure said that the 'things' were moving around, which is a good sign. Mom couldn't remember what they were, and I haven't been privy to any of the discussions with her dr. She'll know for sure Monday.
I received a letter that Bobbie has been invited to the Global Young Leaders Conference. I've done a Google search and it seems impressive...but I'm a skeptic. Has anyone heard of this program? Is it legit?
Bridget, I am so sorry.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I confess I'm really excited! I'm going to take a creative writing class online next month. I want to polish up my writing and then try doing a blog.
Also, DH and I bought laptops today. When we get the wireless hooked up I won't have to disappear to the office when I want to check something and I can sit next to DH while he's watching one of his craptacular animes and still keep myself entertained. (sorry to any anime fans...I am just not into it)
No worries on the anime.. I tried to get into it myself (my ex was hugely into it) but it just.. I dunno, I just couldn't really identify with it.
I confess I have had a headache for four days.. and had some coffee today and it went away finally.. guess that's what I get for having no caffeine for four days!
Lauren (24) Clinton (30) - my life, my rock Praying for all the APA girls! My Blog
I'm sorry Bridget. You know how hard I am pulling for your mom and I think about you guys all the time! And my offer will always stand.
I confess tomorrow afternoon I'm flying to Orlando to meet DH and go to his "yellow ribbon" meeting for the National Guard. It's a big pre-deployment information thing, but the good news is we are staying in one of the Disney hotels and at least we're having a mini vacation and I get to see him. The bad news is AF is here. I'm kind of not excited about going but still excited at the same time.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I confess that I may have overreacted at something dbd did yesterday. At least he says I did. I called him early in the day to ask him to be home at the time I finished work so that I could go for a run. Well, he was home but had a woman coming over to look at our saltwater fishtank for the possibility of having him set one up for her. He assured me he could watch the kids, they'd all be in the living room...
So I just run across the street in the huge vacant field. I even took Savana and Kai with me over there at first and that gave dbf about 30 minutes alone with this woman and her two boys who were about 10-14 (?). I then brought them back to the house and told dbf I was going out again if that was ok and he said yes.
Well from across the street I see dbf come out of the house with the woman and go around to the back yard. I don't see Savana and Kai but I give him the benefit of the doubt for about 5 minutes until I can't take it anymore and I run back to the house, which takes me about 2 minutes. As I'm coming up the driveway and I can see both of my darlings in the front door window, crying. Then dbf comes around the side of the house and I say to him, even though I know, "where are the kids?"
He actually glances around the front yard before his eyes land on the door and he says, "In the house".
I went off. He didn't know where they were! He tells me the woman's 2 sons ran out the front door and to the back yard. "There's a lake back there! What was I supposed to do?!"
Take care of YOUR kids while she takes care of hers! I mean, I could see if they were 3 year olds or something and there was possibility of them running down all three yard levels and hurling themselves into the lake but these kids were older.
Our kids were standing in the door crying because he just left without saying anything to them so they were scared. I'm so upset because I so rarely ask him to watch the kids so I can do something. I think what he did was so irresponsible and wrong.
He is supposed to take Savana to see him mom in Canada next month and we are having a really serious talk before that happens. I am going to be sick with worry while they are gone.
It's part of the reason I cannot imagine leaving him. What would happen on his weekends with the kids? This is not the first time that something of this nature has happened. If it was an isolated incident, I'd probably not have made such a big deal about it.
Oh hell no Bridget! That is inexcusable. I'm so sorry you have to deal with that crap on top of everything else you're going through. Poor Kai and Savana.
I confess that the lady from my job interview just called. She said that they weren't going to hire me at the moment (which I was expecting), but that she really liked me and would love to have me come and work there when another position opens up. She said she was going to keep my application and call me next time.
So that's something at least.
I would've been pissed. Especially if my babies were scared and crying.
I confess last night while in bed i said
"please god let lucea feel better tomarow"
my husband laughed at me...im willing to say/do anything at this point i cant take another sick day

FOX 5 Sports and the NASCAR community lost a close friend on Friday morning. Longtime Atlanta Motor Speedway marketing and promotions director Marcy Scott passed away after a long battle with breast cancer. Marcy was 42.Marcy died at her parents' home in Lilburn, where she had been under hospice care. She is survived by her parents, Buck and Charlotte, and her brother Stewart. Marcy joined AMS in 2005, and she led promotional and advertising efforts for AMS for more than eight years. Prior to that, she worked for several different sponsors and teams, including Jeff Green, Matt Kenseth and Ricky Craven."We will all miss her charisma, her penchant for detail and her way of making any task fun and enjoyable," AMS president Ed Clark said in a statement Friday morning. "To people throughout the NASCAR and the Atlanta media communities, she was a great friend and a consummate professional."She was initially diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009, and she underwent extensive treatment. Earlier this year, she learned the cancer had returned. She had surgery to remove a tumor on her brain, but never fully recovered.News of Marcy's death spread quickly on twitter. FOX Sports' Mike Joy tweeted, "@MarcylScott beat cancer with humor, grace and a strong will. The cancer returned, and took her today. So very sad." PRN's Doug Rice tweeted a photo of Marcy, saying, "I'm happy & proud to have known and called @marcylscott a dear friend, God has a very special angel, you were loved by many, what a legacy" He added, "Thanks Marcy Scott for making the world so much better, miss you and love you, Rest In Peace and Bless your family.Kasey Kahne also tweeted, "Sad to hear Marcy Scott lost her battle with cancer this morning. She was always the nicest lady. Always had a smile. Thoughts and prayers." Joey Logano, who set up a fund to raise money for Marcy's treatment and care after learning her cancer had returned, tweeted, "Very sad to hear about Marcy Scott losing her battle with cancer. was such a great part of our sport."Long before she was part of NASCAR, Marcy was a High 5 Sports original, cheering for the Parkview Panthers. She was Panther alum Jeff Francoeur's favorite babysitter. Marcy was an Atlanta native and a UGA grad. She loved the Bulldogs, her cats and lobster bisque. Marcy was a good friend to FOX 5 Sports, and was loved by many who had the privilege of knowing her. She'll be missed.A viewing will be held Sunday, November 3 from 4-7 p.m. at Crowell Brothers Funeral Home in Peachtree Corners, and a celebration of her life will take place on Monday, November 4 at noon at Eastminster Presbyterian Church in Stone Mountain.

A bittersweet day for an East Texas father who got approval for a medical facility to take care of his wife, but he still suffers from the pain of seeing her in a coma.
We first told you about the Brown family in September. At 34 weeks pregnant, Heather Brown suffered a brain aneurysm, forcing doctors to deliver the baby by C-section. The father, who is a Gladewater police officer, was overseas at the time, serving in Afghanistan.
Now weighing 9 pounds and five ounces, six week old baby John brings a smile to Sean Brown's face. "He's eating. He's eating every two hours. So, he's taking after his father, putting down the groceries," said Brown. It's been a long road for Sean the past six weeks, after his wife Heather fell into a coma September 14th.But with a stable temperature and health, doctors allowed Heather and her baby to be re-united for the first time. "Heather instantaneously as soon as she touched John made a grimace on her face as if she was fixing to cry, like she knew," said Sean. Brown says every response is a step in the right direction, but now insurance needs Heather to move out of the care of a hospital, into another type of facility.
"If you're responsive, you're not in a coma. But, if you're not sick enough, you're not going to go anywhere but to a nursing home, or hospice care. And I don't want that. I'm not ready to give up on my wife," said Sean. It's their faith that is helping baby John and Sean stay hopeful. "Because she's not done yet, I'm not done yet," said Sean. After finding the Brown's story on Facebook, nursing staff from a long term acute care facility in Shreveport offered a private room for Heather to stay in and recover. "They found us, and came to us, and offered their care, and that means a lot to me," said Sean. With insurance approval, Sean says the facility will be a step up for Heather's progression. And he couldn't have found the help without the local and national support. "There's not enough thanks to these individuals who have taken us into their lives, and their church life, and personal life to keep up with our story," said Sean.
Sean says Heather will be taken to the long term acute care facility in Shreveport by tomorrow. He plans to visit her at least three times a week, taking baby John every time.

I've been working out everyday (except Saturday) for the past week. I feel a little better physically, I can actually feel the muscles in my stomach tightening, even though I know im nowhere near being able to tell of my weight loss or toning. Anyhow, im having trouble with food. I try eating less/better, but I have so much trouble controlling myself. For instance, yesterday, I ate two pieces of cake & had two bowls of stirfry at dinner :/ I feel totally guilty that I did it, and hated myself going to sleep.
So I want to know what your tips are about eating.
I LOVE food. If I had an endless supply of food, id eat it all. I'd really like to cook healthier foods because I love vegetables, but my family does not. So that is a bit of a holdback on my part. I have thought about buying separate meals for my daughter & my fiancé, but I don't know if that'd be any cheaper/better.
What are your tips?

If you believe this study that I read about in dailymail.co.uk just drawing comfort food like pizza will cheer you up.
Researchers had college students draw several food items on an empty stomach then looked at their moods and hunger levels afterwards.
They found drawing pizzas improved their mood by 28%, while drawing cupcakes and strawberries raised their moods by 27% and 22%.
Drawing peppers was the only food that decreased their mood by 1%.
They also found that drawing different foods didn't have an impact on their hunger.

Amati has a long-standing tradition of fine instrument makers that dates back to the 18th century in the city of Kraslice, in the Czech Republic. Over the years, many individual instrument factories consolidated and in September of 1945, a cooperative of manufacturers was established and given the name "Amati". In 1948, all instrument production was nationalized, and the city of Kraslice gradually became a center of wind instrument production.
With its rich heritage, Amati instruments are manufactured from quality materials with a high level of hand craftsmanship and modern technology. Amati instruments are sought after for their beautiful sound quality, intonation, reliability, workmanship and reasonable price.
Woodwind & Brasswind is proud to offer Amati instruments, with more than 55 brass and woodwind instruments for band, orchestra, and marching band. One of the most popular items, the Amati ATR 314 Series Bb Pocket Trumpet, is available in silver, lacquer, red, black, green and blue. All Amati items ship internationally and are backed by The Woodwind & Brasswind's 110% Price Guarantee which guarantees you won't find the beautiful and high-quality Amati instruments at a lower price anywhere else.

The HBO show "True Detective" had its first season wrap up on Sunday
night. The short season drama brought in the largest HBO audience ever
and actually crashed the HBO Go feature which allows people to watch
shows on their mobile devices. And almost as soon as the show went to
black the sniping began. "It didnt end the way I thought it
would"...."the ending wasnt weird enough"...and my favorite "it was just
another cop show".
True Detective was many things...but
"just another cop show" wasn't one of them. Since the much maligned
final episodes of shows like "The Sopranos" and "Lost" many people have
come to expect too much when it comes to endings. We expect every show
to end with some amazing twist or to wrap up the lives of characters we
have come to know in a pretty bow with every question answered to out
To me this show was never about the actual case
they were working on. The cases themselves were only a vehicle for us
to meet and get inside the head of these amazing characters. Show
creator Nik Pizzolatto and director Cary Fukunaga gave us a beautifully
written and produced show that delved into many interesting subjects.
Religion, man's place in the universe, the banality of evil, man-woman
relationships...and most important the relationship of two damaged
souls. This wasnt Starsky & Hutch. The perfomances by Matthew
McConaughey and Woody Harrelson were nothing short of brilliant.
McConaughey's role was certainly meatier, but it was the reactions of
Harrelson that made it work.
And I havent even mentioned the
haunting music that was put together by T-Bone Burnett. If they come out
with a soundtrack...I'm buying.
The show is going forward
but as an anthology, so we have seen the last of Harrelson &
McConaughey although Pizzolatto has retained the literary rights to
their characters and has said we might see some novels in the future.
Yes please! Plus he has a noir novel called "Galveston" that has been added to my reading list.
The ending might not have pleased everyone but no ending would have. Besides, it was never about the ending...and the journey was so good that True Detective (Season 1) can rightfully take its place among the classics.

Drape-Front Ruched-Neck Jacket 2 2
Nice travel set with the sleeveless companion This jacket and top are fine if you are ok with tight neck. I like it because it is warm. Roll up sleeves okay, but plain would be better. Launders beautifully. I drip dry. March 17, 2014
Made a wonderful travel piece. I only travel with carry on luggage so wrinkle free and compact are important features to me. It met both of my criteria perfectly and is very flattering. I haven't tried washing it yet. September 24, 2013

And everyone. I took a few days off APA for the Labor Day long weekend, and now I'm dealing with this polyp bull**** Still around, though!
I confess John's a mathematician/geek and he totally went in to work late so he and I could "have a 09:09:09 party" this morning and now he's on his way home so we can have another "party" at 09:09:09 pm
I'm pretty sure if I told him we had to "party" 9 times in one day, on any day, no matter the reason, he'd be looking around for the aliens that took his wife. I'm pretty much the reason we're lucky to hit 4 times a month...
I confess that I feel invisible.
I see you Kim! I lurvve yew.
I also love and see Kim. Come hang out in here, where you are clearly NOT invisible, 'kay?
Polyp news? I have no idea about this either.
I confess...we have an offer in on a house right now. I'm in LOVE with this house. And I'm 99.9% sure we are going to be outbid. We've been outbid twice in the last 3 weeks and the stress is getting to DH and I. Buying a house is so emotional. We might need to take a break after this one. But we don't want to wait too long, because we have a great mortgage rate agreement that will expire in one month. arg.
Here's the thread on the polyp news...
I hope it's okay that I posted it Agatha.
Thanks ladies! You all are awesome!
Lydia, the heartburn and whatnot is gone. I had some spotting that day, too.... but I really CAN'T be pregnant. Seriously, DH and I are going through a dry spell. If I do end up pregnant, you all better break out your bibles because it'll be through immaculate conception!
I confess a coworker was talking about the Oregon Vortex yesterday and I want to go visit it, I think. I think John would be fascinated by the "whirlpool of force" that is going on there. I'm thinking that when we take our now-annual sabbatical from religion in November we're going to use our Sundays to go and explore such awesome places as that and Crater lake, etc!

Pregnancy can be an exciting time for expectant parents. It can also be a time of concern over the health of the baby. Medical technology has led to the development of many prenatal screening tools used to identify mothers and babies who are at an increased risk for developing a disease or condition.
Prenatal screening results do not give a "yes" or "no" answer about the presence of a disease or whether it will develop, only if it is more or less likely. Women who test positive for a screening test may not actually have the condition. The screening is a way to rule out people who are at low risk and identify those at high risk.
Birth Defects
Birth defects are physical abnormalities that may be caused by inherited genes, genetic mutations, or environmental factors. They cause deformities or disabilities that cannot always be treated or cured. Birth defects that are most often identified by screenings are chromosome abnormalities like Down syndrome and neural tube defects like spina bifida.
Routine Screenings to Monitor Health of the Mother
A woman's health directly impacts the health of her fetus. At the first prenatal care appointment, the healthcare provider will review the mother's family and personal health history and offer routine screenings so issues that could threaten the fetus can be controlled or anticipated.
Routine screenings may include:
- Blood pressure reading
- Urine tests (eg, to detect urinary tract infection, protein in the urine, and signs of gestational diabetes)
- Lab analysis for infections, such as gonorrhea , chlamydia , and group B streptococcal disease
- Blood tests for:
- Blood type and Rh factor
- Sexually transmitted diseases
- Hepatitis
- Antibodies for rubella
- Anemia
- Diabetes
- Hereditary diseases like cystic fibrosis, sickle cell disease, Tay-Sachs disease, and thalassemia
Screenings to Monitor Health of the Fetus
Screenings also enable healthcare providers to monitor the health of a fetus during development. In many cases, when screenings produce abnormal results, subsequent testing will be recommended. Usually a combination of two or more of these screenings will produce the most reliable results. Some screenings are routine, while others are prompted by certain criteria, such as a mother's age or abnormal results of a routine screening.
Examples of screenings include:
An ultrasound uses sound waves to produce a picture of the baby on a computer screen. It can determine the age of a fetus. The test can also identify twins, evaluate fetal structure, study breathing, and measure amount of amniotic fluid. An ultrasound may be done at anytime during the pregnancy. In the first trimester it can be done to make sure the age of the fetus is known. In the second trimester it is often done to evaluate fetal structure.
Nuchal Translucency (NT)
This screening assesses a baby's risk for Down syndrome in the first trimester. It uses ultrasound to measure the space in the tissue at the back of the fetus' neck, where fluid tends to accumulate if Down syndrome is present. The results of this test can indicate the need for further testing.
Triple Screen and Quad Screen
The triple screen looks for three specific substances in the mothers blood:
- Alpha-fetoprotein, which is a protein produced by the fetus
- hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), which is a hormone produced within the placenta
- Estriol, which is an estrogen produced by the fetus and the placenta
Abnormal levels of the substances can indicate possible Down syndrome or other chromosomal abnormalities. It can also help identify neural tube defects.
In addition to these three substances, the quad screen also looks for Inhibin-A, which is a protein produced by the placenta and ovaries. This test may be better able to identify Down syndrome. The false positive rate of the test is low.
This is a blood test that can detect the amount of the fetal DNA in the mothers blood. This test can help identify babies at increased risk for certain chormosomal abnormalities early in the pregnancy.
This is a blood test that can detect the amount of the fetal DNA in the mothers blood. This test can help identify babies at increased risk for certain chormosomal abnormalities early in the pregnancy.
Non-stress Test (NST)/Biophysical Profile (BPP)
These tests are sometimes done with high-risk pregnancies to monitor the baby's heartbeat and observe fetal activity, muscle tone, and breathing, as well as amniotic fluid volume.
Psychological Aspects of Screening
Screenings can be stressful for the parents, especially when results are abnormal and difficult decisions have to be made based on the screening information. While the screenings may help prepare parents for unexpected outcomes of the pregnancy, there may be no treatment that can be given while the fetus is still in utero.
Nonetheless, some who test positive for a screening will test negative in follow-up diagnostic tests.
Genetic counseling, an important component of prenatal screenings, can assist parents in understanding what the results mean, evaluating treatment options, and considering the possible need for further testing.

Equal Credit Opportunity: Accessibility to Mortgage Funds by Women and by Minorities
Report of the Women and Mortgage Credit project of the Office of Policy Development. This project studied data on lending practices with relation to both sex and race, provided by lending institutions in California and New York. The study reveals little discrimination against women, but widespread discrimination against minorities. Volume 1 discusses the theoretical bases for the models used by the study, and the results of the study of lenders in California and New York. Volume II contains appendices to the report: Variable Definitions, Model Estimates for California Savings and Loan Associations, and Model Estimates for New York. (Volumes 1 and 2 make up the final technical report.) Volume 3 contains a summary of the results.

Looking for a way to decrease your metabolism and muscle mass? How about gaining some body fat? The answer is finally here! Keep drinking those evening cocktails and watch the pounds stay right where they are!
Most people are aware that their choice to have a couple drinks will add calories to their total caloric intake for the day. You might find yourself thinking, I will just have to do a little more cardio tomorrow, or skip lunch. This is a game that cannot be won, if played regularly. Additional calories are only one part of the effect alcohol has on the body.
I like to refer to it as the "triple whammy". To explain what I mean, let's review a little physiology. Your body uses different sources of fuel for survival and work. It can break down fatty acids or glucose to usable forms, or use a product called acetate. Alcohol, once consumed will quickly move to the blood stream, then liver, where it is converted to acetate. This conversion to acetate is a fast, simple process for your body. Whether you would like to call your body efficient or lazy, it prefers to use this form of energy, rather than going through the longer chemical process of breaking down fat or sugar. Keep in mind, the only way to lose fat is to burn it for energy.
Downfall number two: With alcohol present in your system, release of growth hormone can decrease by up to 70 percent, protein synthesis is impaired and testosterone levels drop. All of these things have a devastating effect on muscle strength and volume. Muscle tissue is the furnace for calories, and when compromised, your metabolism suffers.
Finally, as mentioned earlier, total calorie intake can leap much more quickly than you realize. Depending on your drink of choice, light beer 110 calories or 400 for that yummy mudslide, it doesn't take long to take in half your required calories for the day. So, think again if you think your 40 minutes on the elliptical will put you back on track!

A wretched and disgusting person.(From Son Of A Bitch.Not pronounced as a word)
I Hate it when those S.O.B.s call me things like Flowery, Pussy whipped, and a racist halfwit(I am against descriminating Blacks, Jews, Asians, Hispanics, and other races due to the fact that racism is unaccaptable) because I am not any of those things and this is a dictionary anyway.

In an email to Business Insider, St. Pierre said that his organization forecasts that several states — including Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Alaska, Hawaii, Arizona, Montana, Minnesota and Nevada — will consider marijuana legalization measures in the coming months.
"The New England states have been a 'hot bed' for the last few years," he told Business Insider via email. "Recent victories for reformers in Washington and Colorado have breathed more legislative and media attention into these proposed legislative measures."
NORML tracks ongoing legislation and ballot measures in all 50 states. By its count, 13 will consider initiatives for legalization either through legislation or ballot measures.
In addition to those states mentioned above, Virginia will call for a legalization commission to explore the policy. NORML also counts Oregon as another possible state, even though a ballot measure was voted down in November.
A key question, however, is how federal law enforcement will respond to legalization in Colorado and Washington. So far, the Justice Department has not made any moves to respond to the two states' defiance of federal policy, though it is still reportedly weighing taking legal action.
But support for legalization has been growing steadily, gaining support for lawmakers and prominent public figures. Notably, a bipartisan group of representatives in Congress recently introduced the "Respect States' and Citizen's Rights Act of 2012," a bill that states that state marijuana laws should not be preempted by federal laws.
