I'm with you sister - it's why I don't vist polyvore often. Though I'm thinking of selling my firstborn child for a pair of Nicolas Kirkwood shoes, just kidding.

I'm really lemming the YSL tribute platforms. But 1. too expensive. 2. I wouldn't be able to walk in them.

i love all 3 looks:) i think they look even better because of the way you put them together. without your ideas or those accessories (shoes,bags, tights), the outfits would appear ordinary in spite of the sequins that scream gold on that top and those shorts or the pouff on the miu miu dress:) you're a great dresser:) i adore nicholas kirkwood if only i could try on a pair... his shoes were (still are actually) on sale in hongkong with some styles selling for as low as $390. Sadly, they barely had any sizes left---well not my size anyway.

Ruling on cellular 911 calls could be long time in coming
It could be a long time before Muskego gets a ruling from the Federal Communications Commission on its complaint that the city is not being allowed to answer 911 emergency calls from cell phones directly, John Wisniewski, director of information services, reported to the Public Safety Committee last night.
The cell calls are being picked up by the Waukesha County Communications center, but there are problems with that, police said. There is an average 72-second delay in getting the call over to Muskego, and then the caller has to repeat the same information again. The calls could be dropped, and the person with an emergency would have to call again.
Muskego police have upgraded their equipment and training so that they have the capability to field cellular 911 calls, but WCC officials won't permit wireless providers to switch the calls directly to Muskego.
Negotiations between the city and WCC have been fruitless, Muskego Police Chief Paul Geiszler said. That's why the city filed a complaint with the FCC about a month ago.
Although city officials have evidence that the FCC is working on the case, Wisniewski reported last night that he was told a ruling would be a long time in coming.
Communities net $1.2 million rebate from Waukesha County recycling
Waukesha County residents recycled enough waste containers and paper in 2013 to cover an entire football field to a depth of 22 feet, about the height of a two-story building.
The recyclables were collected by 25 municipalities, and they will split more than $1.2 million from sales of the material to help offset their costs of the service, county solid waste supervisor Rebecca Mattano said Monday. Waukesha County has paid out more than $12.1 million to the municipalities since 2001.
The 25 communities spent $3 million to collect and haul plastics, glass, metal and paper in 2013, so the county payments will cover a little more than one-third of the total costs, according to Dale Shaver, director of the county Parks and Land Use Department.
"That's true tax relief," Shaver said. A dozen other municipalities do not participate in the county program.
The City of Waukesha, the county's most populous community, will get a check in the amount of $297,518 for its share of the revenue. The City of Brookfield will receive $212,634.» Read Full Article
New Berlin accepts offers for two former school properties
The New Berlin School District accepted offers totaling nearly $2 million for two former school properties at a special meeting Tuesday.
However, the sale of Glen Park Elementary School, 3500 S. Glen Park Road, will need approval from the electorate. A special meeting of the electorate has been scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday, May 12, in the New Berlin West Idea Center, 18695 W. Cleveland Ave., to vote on the sale.
The sale of the former Little Grove Elementary property, 3800 S. Racine Ave., already has electorate approval.
Heritage Christian Schools has offered $1,750,000 for the Glen Park property. The board accepted the offer subject to approval by the electorate. Glen Park closed at the end of the 2011-12 school year because the School Board felt the district had excess capacity at the elementary school level and to save money.
The board accepted an offer of $195,000 from Krish Narayanan for the Little Grove property.» Read Full Article
Waukesha Town Chairman John Marek battles car fire in Muskego
Waukesha Town Board Chairman John Marek said he did what anyone else would have done Tuesday afternoon when he saw a wrecked car on fire and dashed into a building, got a fire extinguisher and fought back the flames.
The only fires he had ever seen until that point were in his barbecue grill, he joked Wednesday. But when he saw flames licking out from under a car and in the engine compartment, he knew the fire had to be put out, he said.
The car had just careened into the wall of the Starbucks at Moorland and Janesville roads in Muskego after a collision in the intersection. Another good Samaritan had already helped the 22-year-old Milwaukee woman driver out of the car to safety.
Marek said he wasn't afraid the car would explode.
"I was more concerned about the other people around. I had to put it out," he said.» Read Full Article
Waukesha County Board OKs recycling program with Milwaukee
The Waukesha County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday approved an intergovernmental agreement between the county and the city of Milwaukee for a joint recycling program run by ReCommunity Recycling.
Mayor Tom Barrett has praised the effort as an example of intergovernmental cooperation.
The County Board vote was 21-1. Afterward, Waukesha County Executive Dan Vrakas released a statement saying the collaboration, which will be headquartered in the Menomonee Valley, will increase recycling, reduce processing costs and enhance revenue.
"This unique public-private partnership will ensure the continuation of tax relief for Waukesha County community partners," Vrakas said.
The agreement is expected to generate $2 million in annual revenue for the city.» Read Full Article
Ex-MSOE dean gets year in jail for drunken, wrong-way freeway drive
A former college dean who drove 14 miles the wrong way on a Milwaukee freeway while drunk was sentenced Thursday to a year in jail, but could go to prison for 21/2 years if he fails to remain sober.
Patrick Coffey, 70, of New Berlin made the dangerous drive south in the northbound lanes of I-43/94 on Aug. 15, after leaving Irish Fest, according to a criminal complaint.
Coffey, then the dean of students at Milwaukee School of Engineering, retired shortly after he was charged with drunken driving and operating with a prohibited blood-alcohol content, both third offenses, along with a felony count of second-degree recklessly endangering safety.
Coffey pleaded guilty in January to operating while intoxicated and recklessly endangering safety counts. The prohibited blood-alcohol charge was dismissed.
On Thursday, Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Glenn Yamahiro sentenced Coffey to 30 months in prison and three years of extended supervision on the felony, but suspended the sentence in favor of four years of probation.» Read Full Article

Woman accusing Bill Kramer of 2011 sex assault asked about job in 2013
Madison — The woman accusing Rep. Bill Kramer of sexual assault contacted his chief of staff twice about seven months ago regarding a job — communications that could play a role in the criminal case against him.
The embattled Waukesha Republican is facing two felony counts of second-degree sexual assault on allegations of groping a female congressional staffer in Muskego three years ago. The charges issued Friday by a Waukesha County prosecutor come one month after Kramer, 49, was accused of groping a legislative aide and sexually harassing a lobbyist in a separate recent incident after a fundraiser in Washington, D.C.
Kramer already has said he won't run for re-election but is fighting to hold on for now to his $49,943-a-year job against top Republican leaders in the Legislature calling on him to resign or face potential expulsion. Those fellow Republicans say the allegations against Kramer are credible.
Kramer's attorney, James Gatzke, has rejected calls for his resignation and said Monday that the woman in the Muskego incident, which she says occurred in 2011, will have to answer whether there is any connection between the employment communications and her accusation.
"To me that's something that she's going to have to speak to," Gatzke said.» Read Full Article
Speaker Vos considering expulsion if Bill Kramer doesn't quit Legislature
Madison — Disgraced state Rep. Bill Kramer should resign or his fellow lawmakers will have to consider making him the first Wisconsin lawmaker to be expelled from office in nearly 100 years, two of the Legislature's top leaders said Saturday.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester) said that he found the criminal sexual assault charges filed against the Waukesha Republican on Friday to be credible, and that he was disturbed by the former Assembly majority leader's seemingly flippant reaction to them.
"Bill Kramer should do the honorable thing and resign," Vos said. "When I read the report filed by the (police and prosecutors), it didn't seem to me like there was much remorse."
Vos said aides are now researching the legal process that would be used to expel a lawmaker ahead of a meeting of the Assembly's GOP leaders on Tuesday or Wednesday. Only once in the state's history have legislators taken the step of ousting one of their colleagues.
Friday's charges stemming from an incident three years ago moved forward after more recent incidents surfaced involving two other women, one a legislative aide and the other a lobbyist. Kramer is accused of groping the staffer and harassing the lobbyist while at a fundraiser in Washington, D.C., last month.» Read Full Article
Rep. Bill Kramer charged with sexual assault in 2011 case
second-degree sexual assault on allegations of groping a female legislative staffer in Muskego three years ago, raising anew the question of whether he will be able to remain in his post until the end of his term.Madison — Rep. Bill Kramer has been charged with two felony counts of
The charges issued by a Waukesha County prosecutor come one month after Kramer, 49, was accused of groping another aide and sexual harassing a lobbyist in a separate recent incident after a Washington, D.C., fundraiser. On Monday, the Waukesha Republican filed paperwork saying he would not run for re-election but so far has not stepped down from his post, which he holds until January.
Deputy District Attorney Debra Blasius filed the charges Friday, alleging that Kramer had grabbed the breasts and groin of a legislative staffer in Muskego after a Republican event at a bar there. He has his initial appearance scheduled for April 14.
A certified public accountant and attorney with a degree from Duke University Law School, Kramer now faces the most serious legal issue of his career — each count of sexual assault carries a potential penalty of up to $100,000 in fines and 40 years in prison.
Jim Gatzke, Kramer's attorney, said Friday that he believes his client will be exonerated.» Read Full Article
Muskego cops refer Bill Kramer for possible sexual assault charges
One month after being accused of groping and sexual harassment, Rep. Bill Kramer faces potential sexual assault charges stemming from yet another alleged incident.
Two days after the Waukesha Republican decided not to run for re-election, a prosecutor said that the Muskego Police Department on Wednesday referred to him sexual assault charges against the Waukesha Republican.
Assembly Republicans stripped Kramer of his title as majority leader earlier this month after accusations that he sexually harassed a female lobbyist and groped a legislative aide while in Washington, D.C, for a fundraiser.
Waukesha County District Attorney Brad Schimel said the possible charges are being independently reviewed by one of the prosecutors in his office. He declined to offer any details but did confirm that the referral stems from a different alleged incident from the one on the East Coast.
"This has got nothing to do with the D.C. thing, at least not directly," Schimel said.» Read Full Article
Pius beats Ike girls for third time
New Berlin Eisenhower battled back but couldn't get over the hump and fell to Woodland Champion Pius XI, 35-30, on Saturday to win the WIAA Sectional Championship at Brookfield Central.
Behind sophomore Katie Gardner's 9 first-half points, the Lady Popes led 20-9 at intermission.
But the Lions bounced back to outscore the Lady Popes, 13-4, in the third quarter to cut the lead to 24-22 going into the fourth period.
Sophomore Chelsea Brackmann scored 6 points, junior Sammy Kozlowski added 4 and junior Sydney Cheung scored 3 in the third.
Kozlowski and Cheung opened with 3-pointers, Kozlowski and Gardner each went 1-for-2 from the free throw line, Brackmann scored in close twice, the second off an excellent pass from Kozlowski, cutting it to 21-20 with 2:49 left in the third.» Read Full Article
Waukesha County Executive Dan Vrakas reveals he has prostate cancer
Dan Vrakas revealed Tuesday he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer and might begin treatment as early as next week in San Diego.Waukesha County Executive
The treatment will not interfere with his ability to perform his duties as county executive, Vrakas said in a statement.
Tests confirmed the cancer several weeks ago, according to Vrakas.
"It is not believed the cancer has spread beyond my prostate," he said. "I feel lucky the cancer was detected when it was, and that I will soon begin treatment and get on the path to recovery."
"I strongly encourage men to have annual physicals and to consult their doctor" to determine the need for additional medical screening, Vrakas said. He said his prostate cancer was indicated in tests of blood samples collected during a routine medical checkup in late January.» Read Full Article

Eisenhower (17-6) plays at Pewaukee (21-2) at 7 p.m. Saturday in the WIAA regional final. The Pirates whipped Waukesha North, 59-36, Friday night to advance.
After scoring only five points in three quarters, Kozlowski scored seven of Ike's 15 points in the final period to hold off the aggressive Vikings (16-7). She had one basket and was 5-for-8 from the free throw lines as the Vikings had to foul to try and get back in the game.
Eisenhower led 17-7 after one quarter and 26-18 at halftime, but the Vikings kept hanging in there. The lead stayed at eight (38-30) going into the fourth quarter.
The Vikings then made a run to cut the lead to 40-36 with 5:57 left in the game as Ali Boldt scored on a drive, Jenna Nelson put back a rebound and Anne Radtke banked in a jumper.» Read Full Article
Milwaukeeans share paczki on social media
Here's a look at how some people are celebrating in the MyCommunityNOW social media story.
Pewaukee finds another gear in overtime to down Lions
Ryan Stepanovich estimates he routinely makes 19 out of 20 free throws in practice. Good thing for Pewaukee, he had already gotten that 20th one out of the way.
With 4 seconds on the clock Saturday in a WIAA Division 2 regional final at New Berlin Eisenhower, Stepanovich canned a pair of free throws to tie the score, and Pewaukee found another gear in overtime to emerge with a 50-39 victory over the Lions. The Pirates (17-7) will face Milwaukee Bradley Tech (17-7) at Greenfield on Thursday in the sectional semifinal.
Stepanovich missed the second of two free throws with 21 seconds to go, leaving Eisenhower with a 1-point edge. But after Lions star Reed Timmer split his own set of free throws with 17 seconds to go, the Pirates cashed in on their final possession. Stepanovich and the Pewaukee bench felt he had drawn the contact on his driving layup attempt, which went down, but officials ruled the foul came on the floor.
"I'm usually pretty confident with my free throws," the senior said. "I knew I could make both of them, and I wasn't going to let those last two free throws affect me."
Will Olewinski stole a pass on the first possession of overtime and ultimately hit a 3-pointer from the corner, and Evan Hansen stole a ball at midcourt to lead a transition possession that concluded with an Eric Lutzen 3-point play at the 3:03 mark of OT. The Pirates scored the first 12 points of overtime to put the game out of reach.» Read Full Article

Sandy's Stories - A Cat Named Mouse
Please enjoy another story by HAWS volunteer Sandy!
MOUSE - that is exactly what the adorable 3 week old kitten looked like when I first saw her under a drain pipe, in a pile of leaves. I bent down to pick her up and she was hissing and spitting to beat all and trying to look so mean! She was adorable.
While we lived our of the area, a friend and I often went on 'kitten patrols' looking for abandoned litters. Her husband was the police chief, and more often than not when he'd get a call pertaining to kittens he would say "I'll get my wife and her friend right on it."
Once we were sent to an abandoned house in the neighborhood, where sounds of kittens crying could be heard as far as the sidewalk. We were armed with carriers, nets and first aid equipment - for the kittens and for us! As we walked through tall weeds and an overgrown garden carrying as much as we could I mused aloud, "I don't think we should be in here." My friend laughed and said, "Are you forgetting who sent us here?!" (True, how can you get in trouble if the police chief sends you?)
We picked up two litters about 3 weeks apart. We took them over to my friends garage (the police chief's house) to clean them up and get them ready for adoption.
It was then that the horror of horrors happened: one of the kittens got out and crawled into the police chief's cruiser (under the hood) which was parked in the garage! Sheer panic set in and we did the reasonable thing - we called my husband for help. He called our veterinarian friend, and for over an hour all of us tried everything we could to get the kitten out of the chief's cruiser.
Finally we resorted to a live trap with the disgusting smell of canned mackerel in it. It worked like a charm, and before we knew it we had the runaway back in her cage. My husband and the vet left as quick as they could before the chief came home. We're still laughing about that episode!
Both of the litters were adopted, with the exception of little Mouse. She was very small and people were afraid to adopt her for fear that something was wrong with her. Finally we took her home ourselves, and we were always glad we did! Her whole life she rarely left our large utility room, but she would venture out to be petted briefly and then run back to her comfort zone. We could tell that she was happy - her purring confirmed that.
It always gave us great comfort to see her cuddle in her favorite places in the sun. Most of them were at the windows where she could look out. She was not a pet in the normal sense of the word but she was special to us and we loved her.
By the way - KITTEN SEASON IS COMING! In this part of the country we have a distinct time of year when mother cats are having their litters...and it is swiftly approaching. How can you help? Support spay/neuter initiatives like ours at HAWS, keep your owned/housecats indoors, and...adopt a new best cat friend from HAWS!
This great weather as of late has all of us at HAWS thinking about hitting the beach...
Spring break comes THIS WEEKEND for all you HAWS fans: Bring your dog to the K-9 Splash Swim Center in Oconomowoc for our special SPRING BREAK SPLASH event!
Here's all the details:
- We'll be there Friday, March 19th from 2 - 7pm and again on Saturday, March 20th from 9am - 4pm.
- Pre-registration is required. Call 262-893-9540 to set your appointment.
- K-9 Splash is located at N58 W39835 Industrial Road in Oconomowoc.
- HAWS Mobile Adoption Center will be on hand, in case you're looking for a new Beach Bunny or Surfer Dude pet to add to your family...
- Best of all: the proceeds for this spring break benefit HAWS!
We hope you and your pup can join us for the pool party. What better way to welcome spring than with a "splash?"
By the way - mark your calendar for next Saturday, March 27th - Good Harvest Market of Waukesha is hosting Pet Day for HAWS. Come for discounts, pet Q&A sessions, fundraising for HAWS and more! Read all about it.
Saying Goodbye to a Best Friend
Outside of the HAWS shelter is a large plaque that is dedicated to the husband of one of our founders. It speaks of the Rainbow Valley and Rainbow Bridge - giving comfort to those who have lost a beloved pet, reminding them they will be reunited one day "across the Bridge."
Contrary to what some may think, even though we confront it daily, working here at HAWS doesn't have a desensitizing effect when it comes to pet loss. Since all of us here have pets - some of us probably more than we should - inevitably we will have personal experience with the death of one of those best friends.
We're going through just that right now in my household. Our feisty little cat, Pepper, who is a stray we took in at Christmas in '97, is in sudden liver failure due most likely to a very aggressive and rapid-spreading cancer. She is fighting the good fight, but we know that within a few days this six-pound diva who ruled our household will no longer be with us. As difficult a little being as she was (she was the queen of unprintable nicknames because of her antics), we will all miss her terribly - especially our 70 pound greyhound who was completely afraid of her but adored her anyway.
Despite our emotional pain as her caretakers (we're told she isn't in pain herself, thankfully), we would not give up a minute of the 12+ years we've had with her. We have pets because of the joy they bring to our lives, because of what they teach us, because of how our lives change for the better with them along for the ride. We're comforted by the knowledge that she chose us - she jumped into our arms from wandering outside way back when, and we were meant to be together for however long it lasted.
I wish you peace, Little Missy/Princess/Diva Pepper. I hope you like the Rainbow Valley - you deserve a great place to rest.

I used to love this sport
I really did. I loved competing. I loved watching. I could stand on the practice field for hours and watch athletes work out. I would show up an hour or two before practice, and just bask in the sun on the track, I truly did Love the sport. It served me well. A college education, plenty of notoriety in my time. Injuries prevented me from reaching my ultimate goal, but I enjoyed watching people I knew and competed against succeed at the highest levels. What has happend to this sport is beyond depressing. Before, I could talk with the men in my family (all of them huge track and field fans) about amazing performances that were put down on the track. Constant debates would ensue about what someone COULD do, or MIGHT do in the right conditions. Now? Every conversation I have, even with other track fans, involves speculation about what that athlete MIGHT be doing. Even the athletes we believe are clean, the topic comes up in the form of "well I sure hope they aren't doing XYZ.....". when I see Amazing performanes now, whether its someone beating the clock, or beating father time, or both....there is that "what if" that pops into my head, no matter how subtle. Wow. I truly did use to love this sport.......
Re: I used to love this sport
no one died
what happened, happened - no need to lose your love for the sport - it will always survive
- it survived the cold war & huge doping in eastern bloc
- it survived big bad ben
- it survived questionable chinese times
- it survived, cj/tim/kelli
- it survived kk/thanou
- it survived ohourogou
- it will survive marion
by the time bejiing comes round, this will be ancient news & of little interest to anyone
that's the beauty of the sport - every 4y it rises like a phoenix from it's ashes
if the menfolk don' want to talk about it anymore, don't worry, we are here to do so for them !
Re: I used to love this sport
- at least one had to have a sex change
- doping in East bloc countries sread like a cancer so quickly that within a few short years the American women made East Germans look as virginal as Madonna at a "party"...
- by the time Beijing arrives, the half-life of the sport may well have shifted to a different rate, and hardly anyone [relative to 2 weeks ago, and to 4 years ago] will give a flying lump of golden poo about the Circus in China - except for 1 in 4 earthlings, who happen to live in China. Outside of China, most may greet the sprint finals with gigantic yawns/snickers/hand-to-mouth/guffaws.....or relapses.

Re: I used to love this sport
OK, why don't you talk about pro football? Then, you can avoid these conversations by just assuming that they're doing XYZ (because most of them are. I'd personally prefer to talk about a sport that I still love and that at least is attempting to do something about doping, rather than the NFL, NBA, MLB, etc., which give lip service to opposing doping but then refuse to adopt reasonable measures to stop it.
Re: I used to love this sport
. . . basketball . . . baseball . . . cycling . . . swimming . . . gymnastics . . . tennis . . . golf . . .
where there's $$$ (sometimes just endorsements) to be made, SOMEONE will figure out a way to gain an unfair advantage. It's human nature. Even when T&F's glass is four-fifths empty (and sometimes it feels like it), I still see it one-fifth full. We have an infinitely renewing foundation to build the future of the sport. We just have to figure out a way from it getting infested with nasty bugs, vermin and dry-rot.
. . . everyone sing now . . ."The sun'll come out tomorrow . . ."
Re: I used to love this sport
So how do you explain the wild popularity of the three major sports you mentioned compared to the almost total absence of popular interest in, if not total derision of, T&F?
Re: I used to love this sport
On ESPN this afternoon they mentioned the MJ problem and how the 4x1 should be required to return their medals. In the round-table discussion they talked about how PED use is widespread in t&f and cycling....no mention of other sports - apparently it is just in t&f and cycling.
For some reason these two sports are killed by this stuff.
Re: I used to love this sport
Let me check with one of my other "personalities".....
It's illegal in Canada. Can I borrow some?
Re: I used to love this sport
It would take a long time (longer than I have right now) to explain my views on this.
Re: I used to love this sport
I could sum up my feelings rather succinctly, but non-T&F fans would call me an elitist snob for my judgements.
I think the reason Track and Cycling are more affected by PEDs than other sports, is because they are sports hinged 95% on physical ability. Bigger/Stronger/Faster/greater endurance = win. PEDs of course, make you get bigger/stronger/faster or help with endurance (epo from what I hear). In other sports, there is still the "skill" aspect. Being Bigger/stronger/faster is not going to help you hit a Jumper, catch a pass, or connect with a Pitch. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that players in other sports don't get a TREMENDOUS advantage from PEDs, I am simply saying this why there may not be quite as much outcry about it. However, as far as Homeruns are concerned, I've heard many people argue that Steroids would not help much in that area. That is absolutely crap. Home Runs are a Power stat. Do drugs help you connect with the ball? No. Do they help you know the ball out of the park when you DO connect? Absolutely. Anyone who says otherwise needs to just crawl under a rock somewhere. I could go on about this for awhile, but alas, I won't.
Same in golf, which many people think isn't aided by PEDs. Even bowling is aided.
Re: I used to love this sport
Why on earth would you place Christine alongside the rest of that list???
Re: I used to love this sport
In the past few days I've seen folks here dump on Inger Miller for a caffeine test, so bringing up someone with a bust for missing tests seems fair . . .
Track AND FIELD is like one of my kids. No matter what happens or what "it" does I will always love it. 8)
There is more to the sport than the very elite, much more. Go find some kids in your local communtiy to cheer on and support if top level track depresses you too much.
I get much more joy from a HJ boy's first-time clearance of 6' or a PV girl's first clearance of 10', then I do a World Championship m800 race won in 1:47!
You're not alone with that one.
I read your post and actually felt a weight lift off of my shoulders, thank you!
I'm afraid it will take more than that to let me shrug off the doping issue, but I know what mojo means. There is a subset of US track nuts who focus almost exclusively on high school track. I sometimes envy those guys. I don't doubt that there are some high school kids using PED's, but it's minimal, and it hasn't yet become an issue that drags down high school track. For those who follow mainly that part of the sport, the pure joy of being a fan has not yet been impaired by Marion Jones or any of the other causes of our disillusionment who preceded her.

Confession time: In high school me and some friends took "bennies" before going to the 10 pin alley for gym class. People wondered how my 5-5/115 girlfriend could whip a ball that size with such ferocity!
Quality Canuck physical education.
You can't possibly KNOW that. I am IN a high school environment and I have a very good understanding of who does it and how large the problem is. There certainly ARE pockets of steroid use, especially in affluent suburban areas, but it is NOT wide-spread and although the word 'littered' is sufficiently vague for you to hide behind, it's connotation is wrong. Winning-at-all-costs is NOT the USA HS motto, as I'm sure you must know. Sportsmanship and being-the-best-you-can-be (sorry US Army) is. "Early preventative education" IS rampant in the USA.
They can say that stuff but what counts is reality. I've noticed winning at all costs is the reality and they hide behind the words of sportmanship and be the best you can.
How else do you explain that non-matching sports bra disqualification? How else do explain the retarded parents that abuse the umpires? How else do you explain coaches being fired for perfectly reasonable seasons that did not garner a championship? There are exceptions of course. The Steelers franchise have stuck with their coach and can be viewed as great role models for the kids. But that is highly unusual and what you see at the top level is more often than not reflective of the attitude at the grass roots level too.

Glad I could be of assistance. 8)
I am involved in the sport at all levels and in just about every capacity so if one area isn't going well I can always focus on something else.
I really enjoyed getting a glimpse at the lives of top athletes this year and while it has incredible perks that we can only dream about it isn't that much different than what we do on a lesser scale.
As one top athlete said- it is just running and training with lots of boring down time and brief moments of excitement. It isn't as glamourous as it seems.
That made me feel better.
But it still beats a real life job.
The media sees only what it wants to see, so it can sensationalize what is actually a rather mundane pastime. 99% of HS sports is so amazingly mediocre, it would not even cross anyone's mind to take PEDs and risk side-effects. I need to do a Larry Rawson here and tell everyone to go down to their local HS and watch your average athletes, like the 5'9", 150 pound, 5.6 (40 yds) football players, the volleyball players with 12" verts, the cross country boys who run varsity with 20 minute 5K times, the basketball players who can't out-rebound a Mexican jumping bean, the soccer players who swing and miss the ball, etc., etc.. That's what we're dealing with in High school FOR THE MOST PART!!!!!! i KNOW. I see it every day!!! We were the Flordia 2A State Champions in girls track last year and here's our line-up (top girl in each event)
100 12.8
200 28.1
400 62
800 2:18 (finished 4th in the state)
1600 5:05 (won the state title)
3200 11:18 (won the state title
HJ 5' (won District)
PV 12'9 (won state, best ALL classes)
4x1 53
4x4 4:15
4x8 9:40
does that look like PEDs performances? The boys were far worse comparatively!

If you really believe that, you are clearly completely out of touch with reality.
That would be over 700,000 13-18 year olds. It's not even funny how wrong you are and I can usually laugh at anything!!
P.S. For all you comedians dissing my team (I'll buy the coaching criticisms), just remember, we are State Champions.

(RNN) – This time of year is a paradise for people's eyes and a death trap for their waistlines.
It is difficult to sidestep the wealth of unhealthy food that flows from late October through early January, but it's not impossible.
Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics spokesman Manuel Villacorta offers this bit of advice: Eat, and eat often.
Wait. Really?
"People are not aware we have hunger hormones that determine what we eat and how much," said Villacorta. "It's called ghrelin. It's pretty much like if you had a little monster in you, and it determines how much you want to eat. It needs to be fed every three to four hours."
Villacorta, author of Eating Free, said it is important to eat throughout the day, even for people who are planning to attend a big party later.
Skipping early meals as an excuse to "save calories" and eat a bigger dinner does not work because it is harder for the body to determine when it has had enough.
A snack with a healthy balance of protein and carbs – such as a boiled egg and a piece of fruit – an hour before a party will curb overeating.
Villacorta and other experts offered simple, doable steps for avoiding excess weight during the holidays.
Water, water and more water – It's important to drink water throughout the day, but especially before meals because it takes up space and creates the feeling of fullness quicker. It is also a healthier alternative to other drinks. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, people can replace three drinks during the day with plain water, sparkling water or water flavored with a slice of lemon or splash of fruit juice and cut as many as 670 calories.
Spandex is not your friend – Many of us know that person who puts on loose clothing before diving into a buffet. Wearing pants with an elastic waistline doesn't help when there is a table full of food because it takes longer to realize we're stuffed.
Go for what you know – Some folks grab a little bit of everything and eat all of it, even if they don't like it. Bottom line: If you're not positive you will love it, don't put it on your plate. You can experiment with new food when there is less of it around.
Offer food as a gift – The food experts at Epicurious recommend asking the host if you can bring a dish to a gathering. Preparing a healthy dish yourself guarantees there is something on the table that won't completely wreck your diet.
Clean house – "There are going to be goodies everywhere – the office, banks, other people – you will encounter them everywhere," said Villacorta. "The last place you want to encounter them is in your home. It's a good idea to keep your house clean of temptation, trigger foods."
Exercise now, not later – If you hate to work out, the American Heart Association said you can use typical fall and winter tasks – such as raking leaves and shoveling snow – to get a brisk workout in. Also, use family gatherings to do things like play team sports or go skating and sledding.
As a general rule, starting ahead is better than catching up. By developing a regular exercise routine, you form the mentality of maintaining your weight instead of feeling you have to compensate for overeating. The CDC recommends working your way up to 150 minutes of moderately intense aerobic activity, 75 minutes of vigorously intense aerobic activity or an equivalent mix of the two each week. Having said that …
Working out is not an excuse – Lifting weights or hitting the treadmill for an extra 30 minutes does not give you the right to overindulge. A large slice of sugary dessert such as chocolate cake can pack on as much as 800 calories.
Chew gum – Numerous experts suggest gum as a way to prevent constant snacking when there is an abundance of food around.
Take advantage of the down time – Americans have evolved into the habit of eating lunch at their desks or skipping altogether. That leads to other unhealthy nutrition choices.
The off time offered during this season is a chance to get into the practice of eating slower and enjoying food more.
"Studies have shown that while working and eating at the same time your brain never registers fullness, so you think you're still hungry," said Villacorta. "That has a lot to do with pace and timing. If you're going eat a piece of chocolate, really sit down and eat it."

U.P. professor puts 50 years of doodles on display
March 12, 2013 | AP
- Doodles are art in an exhibit at Lake Superior State University in Sault Ste. Marie.
WCMU-FM in Mount Pleasant reports ( http://bit.ly/14p9LqX ) that the lines, curly cues, swirls and volutes are the work of Professor James Moody, who's been doodling for more than half a century. His doodles are on display at the university's art gallery in the Kenneth Shouldice Library through Friday.
Moody has taught humanities, history and geography there for 41 years. He says he started doodling in grade school and began saving the work known as Moodles 50 years ago.
He says this is the first time his Moodles have been on display but he still doesn't see himself as an artist.

I enjoy my stay at LaQuinta Inn. When I am in the Denver area, I always stay at the same LaQuinta. Helpful, friendly staff. Clean, comfortable rooms. Quiet. Staff and managers go out of their way to help or answer any questions. Breakfast looks outstanding, all though I usually never partake, due to leaving extremely early to begin my day. The value received for the quality of service is great. They always make me feel right at home and are very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this hotel for business or for pleasure.

Arrived late to the wrong LaQuinta. They cancelled my other reservations, gave us a niec room which was very much appreciated. The customer service was excellent, the room spacious and clean. Breakfast was fine-not a lot of variety but certainly servicable.

"Nice inside, noisy out!"

The good news first: if you are unwilling to pay the ridiculous hotel fees downtown this inn is an option. The staff is great! Not so nice looking on the outside the rooms have been renovated and sport new furnishings, paint and carpet! Yes carpet, finally a hotel that thought of updating the rug! Outside you have a train yard on one side and interstate on the other; noisy. The WiFi needs a boost bit finctions.

The staff was very good, had an issue with the refigerator, was leaving for awhile, but when we got back it was taken care of, also had problem with the water one evening, they called us to let us know & when was fixed. We will have to go back in a month, will stay there again. Was very clean & ideal for us to stay there for our business

We enjoyed our time at LaQuinta. The location was convienient to I-70 and our daily commute to the National Western Livestock show. The Mexican restaurant next door had good food. Beds were very comfortable. Staff was pleasant. Breakfast was adequate. No meat offered but you could make your own waffles and the muffins were fresh. Had apples available. We would stay here again!
