Hopkins, Kate
Adult Nonfiction TP605 .H67 2009
Summary: Kate Hopkins knew there had to be more to whiskey than using it as a mixer. She had an unquenchable thirst to learn more about "the drink" and set out on an ambitious itinerary researching its history. Combining comprehensive research with informal narrative, Hopkins entertains and educates the readers on whiskey's place in the history of the world. She visited historians and pub owners, went to distilleries owned by corporations who sell thousands of gallons per day, and artisans who sell thousands of gallons per year, and interviewed the aficionados and the common drinkers, because one of the best aspects of whiskey is not just its taste, but the stories about the drink that are told around the bar. As an added bonus, she discusses the fine art of distilling, the proper ways to drink whiskey, and provides tasting notes on different brands, all in the hope of discovering the best shot of the liquor.

A new excuse for doing nothingNovember 20,2013The New York Times said the following in an editorial:
With unrestrained glee, Republicans are using the calamitous debut of the Affordable Care Act as their latest justification for undermining all of health care reform. But theyre not stopping there.
The Obama administrations fumbling is apparently a good excuse for them to do nothing on immigration reform, on a budget agreement, and on any other initiative coming out of the White House.
We dont want a repeat of whats going on now with Obamacare, said Eric Cantor, the House majority leader, explaining last week why party leaders would not allow the Senates immigration bill to come to a vote, or even to be the subject of negotiations.
Their opportunistic theme is clear: If you cant trust President Barack Obama on this issue, how can you trust him on anything else? Unquestionably, the White House handed them this gift through two kinds of incompetence: the technical failure of the health-exchange website, and the political failure of the president in falsely promising that no one would lose an insurance policy they already had.
But just as these blunders are not the end of the health reform, they will also, in the end, not stop the long march to immigration reform, more jobs or desperately needed improvements to education, transportation and other fundamental functions. The House minority leader, Nancy Pelosi, was right to urge Democrats on Sunday not to be knocked for a loop by the Republican feeding frenzy. Most people, she said on NBC News Meet the Press, still support progressive goals like guaranteed health insurance, a humane path to citizenship for immigrants, background checks for gun ownership and ending workplace discrimination.
Republicans want the country to believe that this months debacle shows the overall weakness of what Rep. Paul Ryan on Sunday called big government in practice. In fact, Americans have long been quite happy with big government programs, as long as they work. They dont like failure, and they hate being misled. But what people really care about is results, and once the health care website is working, millions will realize that what they are being fed by Republicans is largely bunk.
Millions of Americans will pay less next year for health insurance, or get it for the first time, because they will be eligible for the big government program known as Medicaid. Half of those who buy policies on the individual market will qualify for subsidies; they will get as good or better coverage than they had. And millions of people whose policies have been canceled or denied because of illness will now be insured.
What is the Republican alternative to this government program, flawed as it is right now? There is none. Party members simply want to repeal the health law and let insurers go back to canceling policies at the first sign of a shadow on an X-ray. They have no immigration policy of their own. They have no plan that will stimulate job growth. They are in favor only of shutdowns and sequesters and repeals, giving the public no reason to believe they have a governing vision or even a legislative agenda.
Over time, that will prove to be a far more serious failure than momentary incompetence. Democrats may be stumbling right now, but at least they are trying.MORE IN CommentaryProfessional football is one of the nations largest entertainments, giving inspiration to...

Reviews for Cauliflower Soup
Sort By :
Great soup! It was very thick, and although I didn't mind it, others commented so I added some more milk to thin it out.
EXCELLENT soup! Everyone in the family loved the soup - even my 3 year old who hates eating her vegetables. I added quite a bit more of each of the vegetables and doubled the rest of the recipe. Definitely worth a try.
Great! Super easy and quick. I added additional chopped celery and carrots. Along with the chicken bouillon, I used some boxed chicken broth in place of some of the water. In equal amounts, I increased all the ingredients to compensate for the added vegetables. YUM!!
Easy & delicious. I've made it with cauliflower as the main ingredient, and also combined cauliflower with broccoli. Very good each time. Goes great with any sort of sandwich.
This was very good soup. I used all boxed chicken broth in place of the water & no chicken bouillon cube. I added 1/2 diced onion, broccoli chopped pieces, 2 diced Yukon gold potatoes, & 2 garlic cloves. I also used half & half in place of the milk. I was trying to copy a restaurant's recipe. This was very close & the soup went quickly.

SAN DIEGO -- A former San Diego police officer accused of raping a prostitute in Presidio Park while on duty was ordered to stand trial after his alleged victim testified in court Tuesday.
"He's scared. He's scared to death," said Attorney William Wolfe. "He doesn't think he's violated the law and he's looking at some very serious charges."
Daniel Edward Dana, 26, faces more than 17 years in state prison if convicted of rape under the color of authority, oral copulation under the color of authority, false imprisonment and assault by an officer.
The 35-year-old alleged victim, in testimony during a morning-long preliminary hearing, said she met Dana in April while she was working as a prostitute on El Cajon Boulevard.
She said she was standing by a Denny's restaurant when she saw Dana's patrol car and immediately tried to walk away because she was already on probation for a prostitution conviction.
The woman said Dana stopped his patrol car in a nearby alley.
"I said, I know I'm not supposed to be here,'' she said. "He said he wasn't out here for that.''
The alleged victim said Dana got out of his patrol car and introduced himself, then asked for her name and cell phone number, which he entered into his cell phone.
"I was kind of skeptical because it was a police officer asking me for my phone number and I've never had a police officer ask for my phone number," she said. "He was nice."
The two later exchanged pleasant text messages, and she thought of the defendant as someone who she could call to warn her of police activity in prostitution areas, the witness testified.
Sometime later, the woman said Dana texted her from his Jacuzzi, saying he wished she could be there with him.
"I thought he wanted a `date,''' the woman testified.
She said she had no problem with the idea of having sex with a police officer as long as he paid.
On the night of May 10, the woman said she went to a downtown club looking for clients because there was too much police activity on El Cajon Boulevard. She said she got a ride home from the club, then changed clothes and headed out to work on El Cajon Boulevard.
Around 2:30 a.m. on May 11th, the woman said she got a text then a call from Dana, but she was busy with a potential client. She said the client fell through and she asked the man to drop off her off at a nearby 7-Eleven, where the defendant pulled up into a side alley in his patrol car.
The alleged victim said she and Dana made small talk near the rear of his patrol car, then he demanded sex.
"He said either I give him what he wants or I go to jail,'' the woman testified. "Either I have sex with him or I go to jail.''
The woman said her first reaction was, "Are you serious?'' but realized the officer wasn't joking.
She testified that Dana put her in the back of his patrol car, then drove off.

How to turn an iPhone into a wifi access point
Question: My friend has an iphone and I have an itouch. Can his iphone somehow be turned into a wifi hot spot so I can connect through his device to the internet?
Question: My friend has an iphone and I have an itouch. Can his iphone somehow be turned into a wifi hot spot so I can connect through his device to the internet?
Some hotels are greedy and charge for internet connectivity, or even worse they limit internet to a single wired connection per room - like the hotel I'm staying in right now. They only have a single Ethernet cable in the room and no WiFi.
Fortunately I'm using a MacbookPro which makes it's fairly easy to share the internet connection with my iPhone and iPad. Just turn on Internet Sharing and the built-in Airport will act like a wireless access point that you can connect to from any wireless device, just like you would connect to your wireless home network.
Here's the step-by-step:
1. Make sure an Ethernet cable is plugged into your Mac and you can browse the web.
2. Make sure your Airport is also turned on, by clicking the wireless icon in your menu bar and selecting "Turn Airport On".
3. Open System Preferences (click the Apple icon on the menu bar and you'll see it as a menu option) and select "Sharing".
4. Click "Internet Sharing" and make sure "Ethernet" is selected in the "Share your connection from" dropdown, and "Airport" is selected in the "To computers using" listbox.
5. Click "Internet Sharing" one more time and you'll be asked if you're sure you want to turn on Internet Sharing. Click "Start" to turn it on and start sharing your internet connection with your iPhone or iPad.
That's all it takes to share your Mac's internet connection and then you'll be able to connect your iPad or iPhone to it the same way you'd connect to any other wireless network.
According to Apple only a "very small number of iPad users have experienced issues with Wi-Fi connectivity", and that a patch is on the way, yet I see articles all over the web that indicate the problem is much wider spread.
Sure enough, the iPad I brought home just yesterday was also having problems connecting to the same Wi-Fi network that my other devices and computers have connected to for months without problems.
The only reliable, guaranteed fix for connecting my ipad to my Linksys home wireless network was to disable security.
At first I was able to get my ipad to connect to my Linksys WRT120N Wi-Fi router without problems, but not when I tried it again after the iPad had been on stand-by. It recognized the wireless network and would appear to connect, but then would lose the IP address within a few seconds (instead giving me a bogus address of 169.254.108.158).
You can check your ipad's network settings by tapping Settings -- Wi-Fi and then tapping the blue arrow next to the Network you're connecting to. You will typically see an IP address that starts with 192.168 instead of 169.254, and most of the other network fields should have values (Subnet Mask, Router, DNS, etc).
I tried several things that I've listed below, but the only thing that really worked was to turn off wireless security for my Linksys router. It's not as big of a risk as you might think, because my wireless router signal hardly even makes it out to the edge of my small backyard.
Question: Is there a way to get a wifi signal to your itouch from either your cell phone or connect an aircard to the touch?
Answer: I haven't found a way to do this, but a couple readers indicated that it might be possible using a Blackberry.
Anyone up for creating an itouch app for this? :-)
Question: Is there a way to connect your ipod touch to the internet with a laptop with an aircard, either through Wi-Fi, bluetooth, or with a USB cable?

Visitation Street
Dennis Lehane's second pick for his eponymous print is Visitation Street, by Ivy Pochoda.
Ivy Pochoda's Visitation Street is a riveting literary mystery set against the rough-hewn backdrop of the New York waterfront in Red Hook.
It's summertime in Red Hook, Brooklyn, a blue-collar dockside neighborhood. June and Val, two fifteen-year-olds, take a raft out onto the bay at night to see what they can see.
And then they disappear. Only Val will survive, washed ashore; semi-conscious in the weeds.
This shocking event will echo through the lives of a diverse cast of Red Hook residents. Fadi, the Lebanese bodega owner, hopes that his shop will be the place to share neighborhood news and troll for information about June's disappearance. Cree, just beginning to pull it together after his father's murder, unwittingly makes himself the chief suspect, but an enigmatic and elusive guardian is determined to keep him safe.
Val contends with the shadow of her missing friend and a truth she buries deep inside. Her teacher Jonathan, a Julliard School dropout and barfly, wrestles with dashed dreams and a past riddled with tragic sins.
Read the LA Times interview with author Ivy Pochoda.
The Cutting Season
Attica Locke's THE CUTTING SEASON is the first book chosen by Dennis Lehane for his HarperCollins imprint.
From Janet Maslin's The New York Times book review: "...it's easy to see why Mr. Lehane selected it. Ms. Locke writes about Southern racial and class nuances in much the same way that Mr. Lehane sees those forces at work in Boston. Both authors specialize in apparently civilized settings where long-buried discord is always poised to erupt, usually with lethal consequences. Each is willing to use the murder mystery as a framework for much more ambitious, atmospheric fiction."

Mitt Romney's campaign often sounds like it still wants to fight the Cold War. Romney himself said that Russia is the U.S.'s "number one geopolitical foe" (a statement that even Colin Powell mocked) and back in April, a Romney adviser criticized President Obama's "Czechoslovakia" policy. Today during a foreign policy debate at the Brookings Institution, senior Romney adviser Richard Williamson, attacking Obama's Syria policy, said the Middle East country is "strategically important to the Soviet Union."

(CNN) - Scientists are shedding new light on how the asteroid belt came to be.
A new study in the Journal Nature says contrary to long-held beliefs, the asteroids came from all over the solar system.
Scientists once believed the asteroids on the main belt between Mars and Jupiter formed more-or-less in place.
But new modeling suggests the gravitational pull of the planets, especially the largest planet in our solar system – Jupiter – helped create a "melting pot" of asteroids that were once scattered all over.
There are about 500,000 known asteroids in the main belt.

The Delta Stewardship Council was created in legislation to achieve the state mandated coequal goals for the Delta. "'Coequal goals' means the two goals of providing a more reliable water supply for California and protecting, restoring, and enhancing the Delta ecosystem. The coequal goals shall be achieved in a manner that protects and enhances the unique cultural, recreational, natural resource, and agricultural values of the Delta as an evolving place." (CA Water Code §85054)
The Delta Plan is a comprehensive, long-term management plan for the Delta. Required by the 2009 Delta Reform Act, it creates new rules and recommendations to further the state's coequal goals for the Delta: Improve statewide water supply reliability, and protect and restore a vibrant and healthy Delta ecosystem, all in a manner that preserves, protects and enhances the unique agricultural, cultural, and recreational characteristics of the Delta.
Developed through eights drafts, hundreds of hours of public meetings and thousands of public comments over two years, the Delta Plan is guided by the best available science. The Delta Plan is founded on cooperation and coordination among affected agencies. The Delta Plan is also enforceable through regulatory authority, as spelled out in the Delta Reform Act, that requires state and local agencies to be consistent with the Delta Plan.
The Delta Plan was unanimously adopted by the Delta Stewardship Council on May 16, 2013. Subsequently its 14 regulatory policies were approved by the Office of Administrative Law, a state agency that ensures the regulations are clear, necessary, legally valid, and available to the public. The Delta Plan became effective with legally-enforceable regulations on September 1, 2013.

Jupiter - Sufjan Stevens, Nico Muhly, and Bryce Dessner
Vivid Music Festival
My friend Caitlin and I went to a concert at the Sydney Opera House last night and it was fantastic. The Opera House has a festival going on now so the Harbour was all light up with awesome projections on a lot of the buildings and cool light up things everywhere. The projection show on the Opera House roof was incredible and really impressive.
The concert we saw started with the Orava String Quartet (whose 4 members were all not much older than myself) played 3 songs, one by Sufjan Stevens, one by Nico Muhly, and one by Bryce Dessner. Nico's stuff was a bit out there for me but Sufjan's composition called Run Rabbit Run in three movements was fantastic and the quartet did a great job with it. After they played Sufjan, Nico, and Bryce joined them onstage along with a drummer and 7 trombones (cause I mean why have like 2 or 3 when you can have 7). They played 10 pieces in a series they composed call Planetarium and all the songs were wonderful and really interesting. They mixed the classical sounds of the quartet with electric guitar, piano and then Sufjan sang and used a lot of synth. Sufjan also told us 'facts' about all the planets before each song and he was hilarious.
My favorite part of the night was when they came back on for the encore. Sufjan - "I used to think this song was about space, but now I think it's about Australia." (the proceeds to sing Somewhere Over The Rainbow)
"Somewhere over the rainbow skys are blue and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true" I would have to agree with Sufjan on that one. =]
My friend and I got tickets to see all of these amazing people at the Sydney Opera House. I only really know Sufjan Stevens but I made this playlist of all of their music to listen to for the next 2 months. Bryce Dessner is the guitarist in a band called The National which is pretty awesome and Nico Muhly is a composer who has written some really beautiful pieces. We got amazing seats for the show, front row of the balcony (this means no one taller than me can sit in front of me and block my view). So excited!

Five Things to Watch in Charlotte
Posted: Fri, 08/31/2012 - 10:20am
Charlotte, N.C. — We dodged a hurricane, survived the gripping humidity and thrived for a week in the belly of the beast — a national political convention that one first time attendee Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc), said reminded him of a trade show.
So let's rinse and the repeat, this time in the Tar Heel State, where Democrats are already descending to renominate Barack Obama. The incumbent gets the privilege of the last word when it comes to scheduling events like these. So expect much of what you see here to be reactive.
Five Things to Watch For in Tampa
Posted: Thu, 08/23/2012 - 6:20pm
Tampa | Florida politics has always been its own special fun. Long before the election year ground to a shocking legal halt in the wake of the disputed 2000 election, it was the home of "Walkin' Lawton" Chiles -- the guy who ran for governor by walking across the state; Terri Schiavo, whose life support drama turned into a national flashpoint; and Elian Gonzalez, the young Cuban boy whose residency dispute singlehandedly revived the Cold War.
So Hurricane Isaac should be a piece of cake.

Paul Taylor, the executive vice president of the Pew Research Center, has long experience explaining why things happen. When we chatted on the PBS NewsHour this week, the subject was the widening chasm of economic segregation.

At the Youth Council meeting on Saturday the 18th, it was decided to call the group of young people's Saturday morning open lab "Fab Lab Makers". A Google group with this name has been created to allow people to subscribe to announcements and information about these open labs. If you are interested in joining the group send us an email at email@example.com and we will send you an invitation to the group.
Possibly of interest: An NSF sponsored collection of high quality scanned specimens (skeltons and fossils). The datasets are availalbe in a number of formats, some of them are available in STL, intended for 3D printing.
The Digital Morphology library is a dynamic archive of information on digital morphology and high-resolution X-ray computed tomography of biological specimens.

The CUC Fab Lab contributed to a special Augmented Reality installation for the University of Illinios graduation ceremonies.
See the official press release and visit the site Thursday, Friday, and Saturday to see it in person. see the 'About' page and the student pix.
This project was a collaboration of many departments at the UI, and the team included Robert McGrath and Andrew Knight of the Fab Lab.
Following up on the HASTAC presentation mentioned here, I have posted a much longer, more throrough discussion.
See the link at: http://robertmcgrath.wordpress.com/2013/05/05/draft-white-paper-communit...
I would like to revise and improve this draft.
(By the way, I couldn't find a good "Section" for this entry. "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.")
On Saturday I presented a short talk about the CUCFL at the HASTAC 2103 conference in Troronto (Abstract). Thanks to all of you who directly or indirectly helped.
I met folks from several Canadian makerspaces, and gave out our card to several of them. Most of them were just starting out and wanted advice about how to build a successful makerspace. I invited them to peruse our web site for tutorials, etc. and contact us.
STAR EXPO this Thursday from 5:30 to 7:00 PM - fab lab volunteers are welcome to work the table! The event will be held at the Hilton Inn Gardens
A raffle will be held. Suggestions welcome!
From the announcement:
First of all, I want to thank all of you for agreeing to be a vendor at our 2013 STAR Expo and Awards Ceremony. We are thrilled to have you be a part of this special event! As we are just days away from the Expo, I wanted to touch base with everyone on some last minute details you may need prior to the Expo.
CUCFL Youth Council
Saturday April 20th, 9:30 AM
Contact email for the youth council (for example CUCFLYouthCouncil(at)gmail.com)
Google group for announcements
The CUCFL Youth Council is sponsoring an open lab for youth, 10-16 years
old, on Saturday April 20th from 10 until Noon. Come to the lab and
start your Earth Day celebrations early. You can make cards, stickers,
or engravings and then take a plant home with you when you leave.
You can also see a Raspberry Pi in action. The Raspberry Pi is a 25-35 dollar computer built around an ARM processor. It is a great tool for learning to program and has been inspiring people all around the world to make lots of fun stuff. Here is a chance to try one out before deciding if it is something you would be interested in.
We now have an additional scanner-printer available at the lab for color printing and color paper. Ask at the desk, we ask for 50 cents a sheet.
From the Open Education Database: http://oedb.org/blogs/ilibrarian/2013/a-librarians-guide-to-makerspaces/
Possibly of interest: a project from the Mixed Reality Lab at Keio University. From this description, we could probably replicate it--though I don't know if we would want to. :-)
See their web page for an explanation:
The CUCFL Youth Council is sponsoring another open lab for people between the ages of 10 and 16 on Saturday the 16th from 10 until noon.

Wiccan chaplain Patrick McCollum has been fighting for years to overturn the State of California's "five faiths policy", which limits the hiring of paid chaplains to Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, and Native American adherents. While McCollum has suffered setbacks in his quest, with a California federal district court ruling in early 2009 that he had no standing to bring his suit, he recently gained support on appeal from several civil and religious rights groups who argue that his case should be heard.[more inside]

Monday night on The Voice , the four coaches continued to fill the empty slots on their respective teams.
Adam Levine , Blake Shelton , Shakira and Usher each added at least two artists. There are now 11 contestants on each team entering the final round of blind auditions, airing Tuesday night. Each coach must draft one more artist.
Here's a rundown of the latest auditions:
Jeff Lewis , a 28-year-old from Dallas, once had a deal with Interscope Records, but after a few years with the label he was, in his words, "put on the shelf." Armed with an acoustic guitar, he performed the Usher song "U Got It Bad." When Jeff told Usher that winning The Voice would be a life-changing experience, Usher replied, "I'd like to change your life." Not surprisingly, Jeff chose Usher as a mentor over Blake and Shakira.
Shawna P , 45, won over Adam and Shakira with her raspy rock voice on The Black Crowes ' "She Talks to Angels." Shawna chose Shakira.
Caroline Glaser , an 18-year-old singer-songwriter, sang a soulful version of Elton John 's "Tiny Dancer." Blake and Shakira turned their chairs around. Blake complimented Caroline on her dimples, comparing them to his own. Apparently he charmed Caroline with that comment, because she joined his team.
The bowtie-wearing Cameron pulled off some fancy dance moves -- which didn't help him much, since the coaches couldn't see them -- before launching into Justin Bieber 's "As Long As You Love Me." None of the coaches pushed their buttons. They suggested that Cameron wasn't able to master the art of singing and dancing at the same time.
Forty-three-year-old Michael Austin declared in his pre-audition interview that he leads a country lifestyle, so much so that he's nicknamed "Big Country." He covered Keith Urban 's "Somebody Like You." Oddly enough, "Big Country" will be mentored by Adam, rather than Blake, who didn't turn around.
Sasha Allen , a 30-year-old mother of two from New York City, earned fans in all four coaches with her rendition of the Dixie Chicks ' "Not Ready to Make Nice." Adam told her that she was special and wanted to work with a talent like her. The other coaches made their best pitch, but Sasha ultimately picked the Maroon 5 frontman.
Matt Cermanski , 19, made an unusual song choice for his audition: the Katy Perry hit "Teenage Dream." He was rejected by all four coaches. Usher suggested that the song was out of Matt's range. Blake added that it wasn't a good fit for what they were looking for from him.
Mary Miranda , a 17-year-old originally from Cuba, performed the Spanish-language tune "Como La Flor" by the late Selena . She had her choice of Shakira, Adam and Blake. She picked Shakira, the Colombian native.
It didn't take long for Blake to turn around after Grace Askew of Memphis began singing "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'." Shakira also pressed her button. Blake repeatedly exclaimed that he was excited about the prospect of working with Grace. That enthusiasm convinced Grace to bring her talents to Team Blake.
Eighteen-year-old Jane Smith of Cincinnati, who lost her father to cancer, was hoping The Voice would be the ticket out of her current job. Her take on Florence + The Machine 's "You've Got the Love" didn't make enough of an impression on the coaches to earn a spot on one of their teams.
Ryan Innes ' backstory: His engagement to a woman ended just a few weeks before the wedding. He closed the show with a performance of the John Mayer song "Gravity." All four coaches made a bid for Ryan. Ryan, citing the soul in his voice, picked Usher.
The final group of blind auditions will air on the one-hour episode of The Voice airing Tuesday night at 8 p.m. Eastern time on NBC.

A.Paul Fisette, director of
Building Materials and Wood Technology at the
University of Massachusetts Amherst and a JLC
contributing editor, responds: I would be
concerned about the moisture trapped in the floor
system and would take active steps to dry things
out. When there are very low rates of air exchange,
the primary drying mechanism is diffusion, which is
pretty slow, particularly with relatively
impermeable materials like OSB or plywood decking
capping the floor system. Furthermore, not only is
the wet fiberglass loading the joist bays with
moisture, but so is the recently poured concrete
slab — and it will continue to do so until
the concrete fully cures.
Although the floor system will eventually dry
out, there is considerable potential for mold and
mildew growth in the meantime. Also, the OSB web
material in the I-joists could swell irreversibly,
possibly compromising the critical web-flange
connections. Whether you go in through the top
(through the OSB) or through the side (through the
rim joist), the time and labor involved in drying
out those wet cavities strikes me as cheap
insurance compared with the potential costs if you

In 2002, an estimated 22 million Americans suffered from substance dependence
or abuse due to drugs, alcohol, or both, according to the newest
results of SAMHSA's Household Survey. There were 19.5 million Americans
(8.3 percent of the population age 12 or older) who used illicit
drugs currently, 54 million who participated in binge drinking in
the previous 30 days, and 15.9 million who were heavy drinkers.
The report highlights that 7.7 million people (3.3 percent of the
total population age 12 and older) needed treatment for a diagnosable
drug problem and 18.6 million (7.9 percent of the population) needed
treatment for a serious alcohol problem. Only 1.4 million received
specialized substance abuse treatment for an illicit drug problem
and 1.5 million received treatment for alcohol problems. More than
94 percent of people with substance use disorders who did not receive
treatment did not believe they needed treatment.
There were 362,000 people who recognized they needed treatment
for drug abuse. Of these, 88,000 tried but were unable to obtain
treatment for drug abuse in 2002. There were 266,000 who tried,
but could not obtain treatment for alcohol abuse.
"There is no other medical condition for which we would tolerate
such huge numbers unable to obtain the treatment they need," said
U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy G. Thompson. "We
need to enact President Bush's Access to Recovery Program to provide
treatment to those who seek to recover from addiction and move on
to a better life.
The new 2002 Household Survey has been renamed the National Survey
on Drug Use and Health. The survey creates a new baseline with many
John Walters, White House Director of National Drug Control Policy,
pointed out that "a denial gap of over 94 percent is intolerable.
People need to understand the addictive nature of drugs and not
presume that they are 'all right' when everyone around them knows
better. Families and friends need to urge their loved ones to seek
treatment when they experience the toll that addiction takes on
loved ones and communities."
The 2002 survey found that marijuana is the most commonly used
illicit drug, used by 14.6 million Americans. About one third, 4.8
million, used it on 20 or more days in the past month. There was
a decline in the number of adolescents under age 18 initiating use
of marijuana between 2000 and 2001, according to the 2002 survey.
There were 1.7 million youthful new users in 2001, down from 2.1
million in 2000. The percentage of youth age 12 to 17 who had ever
used marijuana declined slightly from 2001 to 2002, from 21.9 percent
to 20.6 percent. Most adolescents age 12 to 17 reported that the
last marijuana they used was obtained without paying, usually from
"Prevention is the key to stopping another generation from abusing
drugs and alcohol," said SAMHSA Administrator Charles G. Curie,
M.A., A.C.S.W. "It is gratifying to see that fewer adolescents under
age 18 are using marijuana. Now, we need to step up our prevention
activities to drive the numbers down further."
The survey found that 30 percent of the population age 12 and older-71.5
million people-use tobacco. Most of them smoke cigarettes. But,
the number of new daily smokers decreased from 2.1 million per year
in 1998 to 1.4 million in 2001. Among youth under age 18, the decline
was from 1.1 million per year in each year between 1997 and 2000
to 757,000 in 2001. This is a decrease from about 3,000 new youth
smokers per day to 2,000 per day.
In 2002, 2 million persons currently used cocaine, 567,000 of whom
used crack. Hallucinogens were used by 1.2 million people, including
676,000 who used Ecstasy. There were 166,000 current heroin users.
Among adolescents age 12 to 17, inhalant use was higher than use
of cocaine.
The second most popular category of drug use after marijuana is
the non-medical use of prescription drugs. An estimated 6.2 million
people, 2.6 percent of the population age 12 or older, were current
users of prescription drugs taken non-medically. Of these, an estimated
4.4 million used narcotic pain relievers, 1.8 million used anti-anxiety
medications (also known as tranquilizers), 1.2 million used stimulants,
and 0.4 million used sedatives. The survey estimates that 1.9 million
persons age 12 or older used OxyContin non-medically at least once
in their lifetime.
Current illicit drug use is highest among young adults age 18 to
25, with more than 20 percent using drugs. Youth age 12 to 17 also
are significant users, with 11.6 percent currently using illicit
drugs. Among adults age 26 and older, 5.8 percent reported current
drug use. There were also 9.5 million full-time workers, 8.2 percent,
who used illicit drugs in 2002. Of the 16.6 million illicit drug
users age 18 or older in 2002, 12.4 million were employed either
full or part time.
The 2002 survey found that 11 million people, 4.7 percent of the
population age 12 or older, reported driving under the influence
of an illicit drug during the past year. Those age 21 reported the
highest rate of driving while drugged, 18 percent, but the rate
was 10 percent or greater for each age from 17 to 25. Other findings
Back to Top
Approximately 10.7 million people age 12 to 20 (28.8 percent of
this age group) reported drinking alcohol in the month prior to
the survey interview. Of these, 7.2 million were binge drinkers
(19.3 percent) and 2.3 million were heavy drinkers (6.2 percent).
There were 33.5 million Americans who drove under the influence
of alcohol at least once in the 12 months prior to the interview.
Of those 3.5 million people age 12 or older who received some kind
of treatment related to the use of alcohol or illicit drugs in the
12 months prior to the survey interview, 974,000 received treatment
for marijuana, 796,000 for cocaine, 360,000 for non-medical use
of narcotic pain relievers, 277,000 for heroin, and 2.2 million
received treatment for alcohol.
Trends in lifetime use of substances were calculated from the 2002
survey based on reports of prior use. Use of pain relievers non-medically
among those age 12 to 17 increased from 9.6 percent in 2001 to 11.2
percent in 2002, continuing an increasing trend from 1989 when only
1.2 percent had ever used pain relievers non-medically in their
lifetime. Among young adults age 18 to 25, the rate of ever having
used pain relievers non-medically increased from 19.4 percent in
2001 to 22.1 percent in 2002. This rate was 6.8 percent in 1992.
From 2001 to 2002, for teens age 12 to 17, the lifetime LSD rate
is down from 3.3 percent of this population to 2.7 percent, the
Ecstasy rate is unchanged from 3.2 percent to 3.3 percent, cocaine
use is up from 2.3 percent of this population to 2.7 percent, and
inhalant use is up from 9 percent in 2001 to 10.5 percent in 2002.
In 2002, the survey found over 83 percent of youth age 12 to 17
reported having seen or heard alcohol or drug prevention messages
outside of school in the past year. Youth who had seen or heard
these messages indicated a slightly lower rate of past-month use
of an illicit drug (11.3 percent) than teens who had not seen or
heard these types of messages (13.2 percent).
There are 4 million adults who have both a substance use disorder
and serious mental illness. In 2002, there were an estimated 17.5
million adults age 18 or older with serious mental illness. This
is 8.3 percent of all adults. Adults who used illicit drugs were
more than twice as likely to have serious mental illness as adults
who did not use an illicit drug. Among adults who used an illicit
drug in the past year, 17.1 percent had serious mental illness in
that year, compared to 6.9 percent of adults who did not use an
illicit drug. Among adults with serious mental illness in 2002,
over 23 percent were dependent on or abused alcohol or illicit drugs.
The rate among adults without serious mental illness was only 8.2
Among adults with substance dependence or abuse, 20.4 percent had
serious mental illness, compared with 7 percent among adults who
were not dependent on or abusing alcohol or drugs.
Findings from the 2002 National Survey on Drug Use and Health are
available online at www.oas.samhsa.gov.

- Nice start, but downhill from theret8teVIPDined on 9/27/2014Cocktail arrived with a bottle cap in it. Likely from the ice bin. When I suggested they should empty the ice bin, I was told it wasn't a broken bottle and the cap must have just fell in...what else fell in? Steak and lamb were both badly overcooked - ordered medium rare, came out medium well to well. Didn't send the lamb back because I didn't like it (too much "stuff" on it) so why bother. The steak came back undercooked and had to be sent back again. When we first got our food, it included French fries. Had to ask 3 times before we finally received ketchup (which should be automatic, shouldn't it?) Sorry, won't be back - a steak house should almost never miss on cooking meat to the correct temperature. They missed 3 times!
- Great food-Great time!Goyanksgo1Dined on 9/27/2014We were in town for Derek Jeter's last home game, we're from Austin,TX but diehard Yankee fans! I used to line in the Bronx. Anyway,back to Uncle Jack's. The steaks were perfect, the sommelier picked a great Cabernet for us,we were never hurried and the bread pudding for dessert was outstanding. This was all a surprise to my wife and she loved it. With the outstanding service and food I don't know why anyone wouldn't come back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Place!NYCBucketListDined on 9/26/2014Uncle Jack's was a fantastic find in NYC. The food was outstanding and the staff working there couldn't be more accommodating. This is the best steakhouse we have eaten at. Sandie really made the visit enjoyable. She was wonderful!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GreatJimmycDined on 9/25/2014We found the service, the ambiance and the food to be excellent.....the filet and the tuna were both excellent and cooked superbly....a place to which we will return.Special Features:
- Wonderful dining experienceFloridianDined on 9/25/2014The food is very good, the service is top notch and how nice it was to have a relaxed , quiet dining experience in a great location in Manhattan!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food Good Noise not so muchEsposDined on 9/20/2014This is the second time my wife and I have eaten here. The first time was on New Year's Eve this year (2014) and we had a wonderful time along with a wonderful dinner. This time while the food was just as good, the noise level was much higher making quiet conversation difficult. Also this time service seemed a little slower than it was on New Year's Eve. It took quite a while to get our salad as well as getting the wait person take our dessert order. And while the food was tasty my steal could have been a little warmer. I have a thing about getting hot dood and I was a little disappointed this time around. I would still eat here again.Special Features:
- DisappointedErikDined on 9/19/2014Went to UJ based on the TV show assuming to be dazzled by operations. Got the Rib steak for 2 Medium, came out Medium Rare and closer to Rare near the bone. Ordered a bottle of wine before the meal was served and it took over 20 minutes to get. I would understand if it were rare but it was a CakeBread Chardonay, likely one of the most popular. Very disappointing. May need to do a restaurant stakeout here!Special Features:
- Great serviceJacksDined on 9/17/2014Everything was perfect from the service to the food, the place is beautiful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- At first...CarrollpicksDined on 9/15/2014At first, I was reluctant to eat here because of the television show hype. Not sure why I'm that way, but I am. However, my customer was adamant about going for that reason alone...so we went, of course. It was absolutely delicious--good job to both the kitchen and server staff for a pleasurable experience...and one HAPPY customer I have on my hands!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Unable to dineAlmostDined on 9/12/2014I had dinner reservations for Friday September 12, 2014 at 10:00pm I called the restaurant to say I was running several minutes late because of the broadway show Motown. I was told that the restaurant was experienceing some difficulties and was no longer serving dinner. I was eagerly anticipating a nice steak dinner but was disappointedSpecial Features:
- DisappointingzoesmumDined on 9/12/2014Started off good but the main entree took a very long time to come out and the restaurant was not that crowded. Once it arrived, it was not very hot and the steak was not of the quality you would expect at this restaurant. Appetizers, sides, drinks were good. Waitstaff were professional and courteous. Head waiter apologized for delay and gave us complimentary coffee after dinner.
- Great place for steakOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/7/2014One of the best steaks I have ever had (filet) and service was great. FYI, the salads and "side" dishes like garlic mashed potatoes are enough for 2 people unless you like to eat a lot.Special Features:
- Outstanding steaksOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/5/2014This place is a must for steak lovers. Made in an absolutely great manner. Pricewise a "little" on the high side,Special Features:
- Perfect as alwaysKatluvsNYDined on 9/5/2014Second time here and I loved it even more! How is that even possible? We celebrated our 5 year anniversary here and the waiter, Sean, made it all the more special. They bought out wine and cake without us even asking. I was very surprised that the notes in the reservation were read! The food was superb and the restaurant really prides themselves on customer service. The waiters were so friendly and very attentive to our needs. Did I mention, the food was SUPERB ;) and the sides are large enough to share. The entree is a pretty big size too. Second time I took left overs home. It's a bit pricey, that's why we only go on special occasions but it is well worth the wait. Will be here again!!! Thank you.Special Features:
- Always a wonderful experience!WillVIPDined on 9/5/2014We go to Uncle Jack's quite often and always find the food delicious, the service fantastic and the ambience perfect. I am a devoted fan.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never disappointsRickniteVIPDined on 9/4/2014We have come here several times now. Food is delicious. The steaks are cooked to perfection. The sides are large and could be shared. The service is attentive. Don't know what else to say except try it.Special Features:
- Out of filet?OpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 8/31/2014Was looking forward to a nice filet at a reputable steakhouse. Disappointed when I was told they were out of filets. Ordered the NY strip instead. Got the blue cheese and bacon topping and it was very good. My husband ordered the strip steak medium rare and had to send it back when he received it medium. The caesar salad was excellent, as was the tomato, mozzarella, basil with balsamic (although the basil seemed to get lost in the bed of greens it was served on). Chocolate mousse for dessert was very decadent and was enough for 2 to share since it was so rich. The service started out great, but as the evening went on felt we were forgotten. Overall, the food was good, service was okay.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 8/30/14OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/30/2014Baked clams – very good; not too salty, good seasoning and sauce; definitely recommend adding lemon on top. Wagyu Kobe Meatballs – incredibly tender and seasoned well. Sauce is a bit heavy and reminds me of a meatloaf gravy. Creamed spinach – the roasted/toasted garlic chips on top makes this a phenomenal side dish. Garlic mash potatoes – a solid choice Bacon mac and cheese – a smoky delight Filet Mignon – very tender and a great choice NY Strip – my personal favorite; always cooked to the right temperature (Quick note; if you are not a fan of the "chared" flavor on the outside of your steaks; let them know) Service – Jose and Joe truly exemplified what customer service is all about. They were personable, attentive, helpful and friendly.Special Features:
- great find!AnneDined on 8/29/2014Great steaks, excellent service and elegant ambience without the snobbish feel. Surprisingly not difficult to reserve a table on a Friday night. Head waiter and the rest of the service staff were excellent. Reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 was the dessert, which was not bad however if you love your dessert, you may want to go somewhere else after you've enjoyed your delicious steak! (we had the apple strudel)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- JFS821VIPDined on 8/29/2014Wait Staff Captain Sandie was very knowledgeable about the wine list. She was extremely pleasant and particularly attentive. Her staff was trained very well, too. The excellence of the Wait Staff coupled with the perfectly cooked steaks and sides made for an extraordinary dining experience. Thanks.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- unevendiscerningDined on 8/29/2014First time we ate at Uncle Jack's we were happy to find a good alternative to the older first tier Manhattan steak houses (Palm, Sparks, Pietro's) which are very consistent from dinner to dinner. Second time salads not as crisp or good, and steak though asked for medium rare was much closer to medium. I would try again, but in recommending to others would describe exactly this waySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Sunday at Uncle Jack'sNJREFDined on 8/24/2014Went to Uncle Jack's midtown on a Sunday evening. We had the $99 Sunday special, what a great Surf and Turf deal. Like many we went to see if the service lived up to the hype and it did. Richie at the bar was the consummate Manhattan bartender, a true professional. Dinner service was excellent, attentive but not intrusive. While it was my wife's birthday I did not make any special requests, however they overheard our conversation and treated us to an after dinner drink. Wine list was very good and reasonably priced. The staff made us want to go back.Special Features:

- Epic FailUpperEastSideGirlVIPDined on 8/21/2014They offered a $100 for $200 groupon and after we ordered they told us we needed to order off a special menu. They don't know what a $100 for $200 groupon is!! Anyway, they sort of gave us a $100 credit to fix things. The food was fair but not to the level you'd expect from a NYC Steakhouse. Don't let the waiter convince you the food is phenomenal - he said so to every table he captained. And the service is poor. No one offered dessert or coffee until we loudly expressed surprise that it hadn't been offered. They then offered it on the house. Don't bother whether paying the full bill or using a groupon. What a waste! But my dog loved the leftovers....he'll eat anything.

- Great steak and great serviceTigerfoodieDined on 8/20/2014Two colleagues and I ate at Uncle Jack's this past Wednesday night. A last minute reservation was easy to acquire via Open Table. The staff was very attentive and accommodating. The food was very good. I had the ribeye (Fred Flintstone) and it was cooked to perfection. I had the crab cakes as an app and they were very good, but not the best I've ever had. Still, they were good. We shared sides of sauteed mushrooms, asparagus, and garlic mashed potatoes for side dishes. They were good, but nothing spectacular. If I had one complaint, it was that the food actually came out too quickly. If we were going to a show, then it would have been perfect. Our case was that we had nowhere to be afterward and wanted to discuss business.Special Features:

- Great food and service!!!travelinurse4uDined on 8/17/2014We have always wanted to try this restaurant since "restaurant stakeout" starring its founder. A "groupon" finally made it affordable featuring their prix-fixe menu. After a mediocre bread basket we ordered the crabcake appetizer. It was stuffed with crab and very little filler in a yummy sauce. For our main course we chose a 10 ounce cooked to perfection medium rare filet mignon. The main meal comes with creamy spinach and mashed potatoes to share which were both tasty. Plates are warmed and everything comes out at perfect temperature. Dessert was a trio of good selects. Most notable was the service! We felt well taken care of even though we had a coupon, and tipped well on the full price as always. Great wine list as well...Kudos!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great steakhouse. Amazing service.UrbnVIPDined on 8/16/2014The food was delicious and satisfying. The decor...a bit dated, but it's fine. What stands out is the service. They practically fell all over themselves to make sure we were taken care of. The whole wait staff, from Maitre D to bus people, were friendly, efficient, and fun. This is a great restaurant for tourists wandering 5th Avenue or pre-theater.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

You cannot leave this place unhappy or unfilled. Very accommodating for people with food allergies like me. I always order the filet, which is billed as 10 oz but has to be bigger. Sides are more than enough for two. Great bar too.Special Features:

Stefanie Preissner brings Solpadeine Is My Boyfriend to Cultúrlann Sweeney, Kilkee
29 June 2013
20:00 - 22:30
Email: email@example.com
Web: www.clarelibrary.ie/arts.htm
One of Ireland's serious new talents Stefanie Preissner brings Solpadeine Is My Boyfriend to Cultúrlann Sweeney, Kilkee on Saturday, June 29th at 8pm
"a dark, delightful and intelligent comedy, a one woman tour de force" examiner.com
Solpadeine Is My Boyfriend is about a new Irish generation. They were promised everything; a life of financial stability and job security but they now find themselves queuing either at the airport to emigrate or the social welfare office to sign on. It's a generation that feel entitled not to experience depression, economic or personal, and whose availability to over-the-counter medication allows them to numb both. Stefanie's high-octane performance is broken up by moments of near stand-up comedy. The piece resonates with all Irish audiences regardless of where they are from due to the mass exodus of young people leaving for Australia, Canada and America. Solpadeine Is My Boyfriend was recorded in 2012 for RTE Radio One: http://www.rte.ie/drama/radio/genres-life-solpadeineismyboyfriend.html "And the Solpadeine flows past every door, distributing comfort and safety to every pore. The Solpadeine army now moves to my head, the other half tackle my heart, they tread, softly and carefully to where the pain is, and anaesthetise it with their lovely lovely fizz."

Microsoft has acquired Winternals Software and Sysinternals
July 19, 2006 Leave a comment
I am a big fan of SysInternals freeware utilities and a regular visitor to Mark's Blog. Today I have seen a post in Mark's blog saying he is joining Microsoft
Some of the points from his post:
I'm very pleased to announce that Microsoft has acquired Winternals Software and Sysinternals. Bryce Cogswell and I founded both Winternals and Sysinternals (originally NTInternals) back in 1996 with the goal of developing advanced technologies for Windows.
What will happen to all those freeware? Here is his answer:
As for Sysinternals, the site will remain for the time being while Microsoft determines the best way to integrate it into its own community efforts, and the tools will continue to be free to download.
Looks like no more new freeware from SysInternals(Not a good news for me :( ). However Mark is saying that the existing tools will remain free.

RECIPE # 4941 TUSCAN ONION SOUP Friday Jan. 4, 2013
2 tbs olive oil
4 large yellow onions, quartered & sliced
2 large red onions, quartered & sliced
5 shallots, sliced
3 cloves garlic, chopped
½ cup sherry
2 cups heavy cream*
1 quart beef stock
½ tsp black pepper
2 bay leaves
Preparation: In a large, deep sauté pan, heat the olive oil on low. Add the onions, shallots & garlic, cooking slowly until they become caramelized and golden brown. This will take about 20 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the sherry, stirring until all the bits from the bottom of the pan have blended with the onions. Add the cream, beef stock, pepper & bay leaves, and simmer - stirring occasionally - for 30 minutes. Remove the bay leaves and puree the mixture using an immersion blender. If using a traditional blender, do it in small batches so not to burn yourself. Serve immediately, garnishing with freshly shredded parmesan cheese.
*For a lower fat version, milk can be used. A somewhat less creamy texture will result, but the flavors will be the same.

(it was one year ago on the 22nd, last weekend)
A little update before the text I got last night (text is below in italics if you want to skip) -
There's been no contact since he met Miss US and my apartment move (end of Nov early Dec), I unleashed a verbal tounge-lashing shortly after I moved in. I said the worst things I've ever said to anyone. bc when I needed someone in the worst way, & had no one else to turn to (& he knew it - AND used that =against me in an argument even) - he abandoned me bc he was "late for a date" with Miss US. When I can count on ONE HAND the amt of times he was on time for anything with me. I was infuriated. Then as if that wasn't bad enough, he was doing things for her he would never do for me. IE like a photo on Facebook, or even be Friends before month 6. She met his parents, his mother and her were talking to each other. I didn't meet his parents until 2 plus years. And it made me feel that he was ashamed of me.
So I told him I was ashmaed of myself. That I was with someone who was ashamed of me. That he was evil, ugly on the inside, and called him every name in the book - liar, cheater, Manipulator, Immature, Fake, Doomed, etc. I can't remember if I posted it here or not. But I told him I'm the only person who knows him inside and out and I see him for who he really is, and I detest what I see. A lying, cheating, evil, rotten-to-the-core person who is ugly on the inside. Etc etc. It was pretty intense. HIs repsonse was "wow" and mine was "my sentiments exactly". And that was it. Nothing since.
He acted "above it all" and said leave me alone. And that is precisely what I did.
I did this to the letter -
Use his attention toward Miss USA as a chance to run far far away from him. And if your friends are now friends with him, lose them quick.
Then last night I get this text. He never ceases to amaze me. Looks like he was dating Miss US up until recently. I noticed his FB had been deleted a few weeks ago(which is soooooo copied from my move).
Hi Suspicious247, I hope you are doing well. I know I'm the last person you want or care to hear from right now. I'm sorry for disturbing you. I'm having surgery tomorrow and will need to go under anesthesia. As you know, there's risks with that even though my surgery itself isn't considered extremely risky. The abnormality they found most likely has affected my hormones and my mood for a long time since adolescence. I need you to know that I'm sorry for times when my mood affected the way I treated you. I've debated for a long time whether to say anything but decided that I would regret not saying I'm sorry if something were to happen to me. I hope you can forgive me for times when you felt I mistreated you..best, WEXBF
I didn't respond. Don't plan to.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA So let me get this straight, you dated another person, as I have been saying since Day 1 (post Dday #1), that he needs to date soneone else and have them say the same things I was saying bc I knew he wouldn't take my word for it bcI'm just a damaged girl with Daddy issues. Now he dated someone with 0 family issues and probably 0 issues in general, and she is saying the same things. So NOW, you take some stock in it. But instead of just saying to yourself that you're a real asshole, you go to a doctor and find a medical reason for it. LMFAO. True to form.
That's what I would like to say. But I won't.
On to a more positive note, I've been doing fairly well. I got a puppy who is the light of my life and makes me LOL every day. He is quite possibly the cutest dog in existence, and very good and very smart. The PERFECT DOG for me. He's made me very happy.
I won't pretend that I never look at MIss America's profile bc I have some kind of morbid curiosity. (To know whether their relationship was as turbulent as our's, or was it peachy and glorious. Bc if it was the latter, than "we" had to be partly my fault too. And I'm not just talking - putting up with more than I should have, or staying too long. I mean the abusive,toxic stuff - that I sometimes questioned if I contributed to in any way. So yeah I looked and tortured myself, but I didn't view it as torture.
The more time that went on, the more I wanted to reach out to her and offer my ear. (Which I would never actually do, because I know how that would be perceived.) The more I wanted to thank her for taking his focus off me so I could heal. The more I saw how impossible he was and how long it took me to get un-mindfucked. The more I felt further and further away from all of it. And thankful for the end result, albeit wishing for my 5 years back.
Anyway hope you all are doing great (or as good as possible) , had good weekends, and were able to find some peace of mind - which I know is so hard to do when you're in the thick of it. This place is a Godsend.
I'll regret not saying I'm sorry......
....if something happned to ME.
....if something happned to ME.
It is all about him even now. that text wasn't for me, it was for him. asshole
Note..not the times he actually mistreated you...just the times you felt like he was.
He's fishing. Block him.
..that feeling you get in your stomach, when you heart's broken. It's like all the butterflies just died.
If something tragic did happen, he would be none the wiser.
(Sorry, my spirit is feeling mean today)
DO NOT contact him for any reason. It might still hurt, and you've moved too far forward to take a few steps back.
Puppies are the best therapy. Onward.
What the hell does that say about me! I don't even want to think about it.....
[This message edited by Caretaker1 at 7:17 PM, April 1st (Tuesday)]
Ok I'm in the minority here. He values health and taking care of ones body. He was being honest. If you are in great shape what is his issue. Give me a break with his love is conditional.
You read the part where she stated that her she is 5.9 and weighs 130 pounds didn't you? This places her at the very low spectrum of a healthy weight so his "honesty" is rather warped. When you couple it with his other behaviours it's rather obvious that he control issues and, like a number of emotionally abusive partners, needed to dismantle her self esteem to exercise this control.
Suspicious, thanks for the update! I'm really glad to hear that you are in a more positive mindset.
And yes, I look just fine physically Caretaker. Of all the women I used to hang out with, I was the thinnest. I have no problem with my physicality. He just didn't like that I didn't spend hours in the gym on a daily basis. Even when I did work out, it was how much did you do? How long? WHat level? Is that it?
And the proof is in the ending of their relationship bc she is a fitness model and he still couldn't manage to keep her.
[This message edited by suspicious247 at 10:39 AM, April 2nd (Wednesday)]
I did some googling and found seomthing called Vascular Dementia but I sincerely doubt it's that serious. Plus from what I understand, that is usually precipitated by a stroke. Anyway - I will keep you all updated if anything life-threatening happens.
(I've done it and it takes a few hours)
Yes Miss America (thats what I call her bc it rolls off the tongue easier - that is not her title)
WE have 0 people in common.
What do I do? Is she trying to speak to me? Ignore? Accept? Ughhhhhh
[This message edited by suspicious247 at 7:51 AM, April 24th (Thursday)]
But basically, it was just a monotonous cycle of wash, rinse, repeat.
Everyone told you from the start to block the guy but you wouldn't. It was pretty obvious you were LIVING for the next call or text or drive by or smoke signal from Prince Charming so you could continue dancing the Dysfunctional Waltz with him. And unfortunately, here we are half a year later and you're still obsessing about this guy and his ex, some "Miss America" person.
You're still clearly invested in this never-ending dysfunction. You're not a victim, you're a long-time volunteer. Honestly, who cares about his veins and his surgery and his hormones and his moods? You should be FAR from caring and doing something better with your personal life than allowing this jerk to continue dragging you through the streets of Dysfunction Junction.
Break the cycle.
It's time.
It's PAST time.

A Forest County juvenile was arrested after police say he made a threatening video depicting students being shot.
According to Forest County Sheriff John Dennee, officers received reports about the YouTube video over the weekend. Dennee said the video showed students being shot in front of the Crandon School.
A male juvenile was arrested and taken to the Forest County Jail. Officers searched his house but found no weapons or other evidence, Dennee said. No further evidence was found at the school either.
"Our investigation indicates what while the video was made in very poor judgment, there appears to be no indication of danger to the students, school personnel, or general public," Dennee said in a news release.
The juvenile was expected to make an appearance in court Monday.

Jennifer, I saw your article in March 6th's Daily News Journal. I have been saving it, and marveling over your bravery and great ideas.
I have a living room that is papered, an older paper, at that. It seems to be really tight to the wall, and I am tempted to paint over it. I have heard where there are circumstances where this can work.
We are on a strict budget, and my husband is very "retired"; but he is willing to help me with this endeavor. The paper is in shades of yellow stripe w/small flowers, pinkish. I will probably want to stay in the yellow family, as it is a happy color. What process do you recommend for this?
It is a large room, about 30 years old, normal height ceilings.
I would appreciate hearing from you soon.
Thank you so much,
YES, you can paint over wallpaper that is adhered tight to the wall. Just double check everywhere on the wall to make sure that there isn't any loose pieces. If there are, just glue them down tight.
Next, you will want to prime with an oil-based primer. Using an oil-based primer will not reactivate the glue.
Then you can paint over your primer with a water-based paint. Normally, you cannot paint over an oil-based paint with a water-based paint, but, oil-based primer is different.
I would choose a low sheen such as eggshell. A lower sheen will help hide your wall irregularities.
Have a great day my fellow Murfreesboro friend!
