Yeah in you guys imaginary world let me guess huuuhh... it was head high perfect barrels today to... it was no head high glass i saw.
me and shrekis were PUMPING HEAD HIGH GLASS. you all missed it..you all missed it. and monday night on the north sida mercers was fun as hell
one thing i will never understand is why people want to hype up very specific spots that seem to be breaking better than other places and aren't as crowded...
I had a lot of fun today at c-street on my fish. Glassy, small, knee to thigh high sets, maybe you could barreled if you were like 6. Anyways, I stayed out till I couldn't see the water anymore. Fun little stuff.
mmt is jealous
naked spearfisher and i rep oxford street and the OTHER side of the pier
mmt can go back to the north end and the L shaped lot or whatever you kooks call it
im just kidding theres nothing wrong with the north end
all i was trying to say was that it was really good sunday and hardly anyone was out

I automatically divide my perception of the waves by 14. I was out their towin in behind a RC jetski on Sunday. I got so pitted, I even have my own wet suit that I stole from an aqua G.I. Joe. I'm jealous of ledzep though, those waves today would have been slotting double overhead barrels. But really, it looked like a fun longboard wave out there... (for a human)
I went out on the south end by the jetty @ 3:30 right when the tide switched, there were some shoulder or bigger sets coming in, it was crappy at mercers because of the howling wind out of the south, which the jetty blocks for future info

The story behind the Mallory jacket is a fascinating one - in 1924 George Mallory set off to climb Everest, dressed in a 3-Piece Military Issue Harris Tweed Suit and a pair of sheepskin boots. He never returned - although it is widely believed he reached the summit - and in 1999 his body was found, preserved in ice. In tribute to this great explorer, Nigel has included the Mallory jacket every season since it first appeared in the original 'Ascent' collection. Celebrating the incredible traditional craftsmanship found in the British Isles, the jacket is made in England from authentic Harris Tweed, which is hand woven in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. The shoulder and elbow panels are made from Ventile, a highly water-resistant densely woven cotton, originally developed by the Shirley Institute during WWII for the Royal Air Force.

Pioneer Chooses Mentor Graphics Catapult C Synthesis Tool for R&D of Digital Signal Processing Applications
WILSONVILLE, Ore., May 23, 2006 - Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq: MENT) today announced that Pioneer Corporation's Mobile Systems Development Center has chosen Catapult{reg} C Synthesis and Precision{reg} RTL synthesis tool to create digital signal processing (DSP) hardware. Pioneer selected the Catapult C Synthesis tool based on the superior design productivity, ease of use and the track record of this product after comparing it with other high-level synthesis tools.
"It was very impressive that Catapult C Synthesis tool allowed us to automatically implement VHDL from pure ANSI C++ in just a few days versus three weeks it took using other high-level synthesis tool. It assured us the quality of results and improved design productivity. We also expect that Catapult C Synthesis will improve the reusability of our IP when implementing the design onto ASICs in future, with its ability to optimize for ASIC technologies and micro architectures. It is very beneficial that it saves us months of costly manual effort," said Yoshikazu Takeuchi, Pioneer's Mobile Systems Development Center.
Mentor offers total support for an electronic system level (ESL) hardware design solution. Catapult C Synthesis inputs pure ANSI C++ code and automatically generates RTL targeted to FPGA or ASIC technologies. Pioneer's designers report that the Catapult C Synthesis tool helps them achieve optimal architecture and create the best implementation in terms of latency, power consumption and size. For verification, Pioneer's designers can use the Catapult C tool's SystemC verification extension, which allows them to reuse the original C++ testbench to run RTL simulation using Mentor Graphics' ModelSim{reg} verification tool. By using Mentor's FPGA logic synthesis tool, Precision RTL Synthesis, Pioneer engineers can create an FPGA implementation without timing violation and also verify and measure performance of the final implementation.
"Even when we need to quickly get our algorithms in development at labs to market, it is certain to produce results beyond our expectations," said Koichi Nagaki, manager of Pioneer's Mobile Entertainment Business Group.
"Pioneer has an extensive reputation for delivering solid electronics products. We are confident that Catapult C will continue to deliver state of the art high-level synthesis performance that Pioneer has come to expect in order to maintain their established product reputation," said Simon Bloch, general manager of the Design Creation and Synthesis Division, Mentor Graphics. "In addition, Pioneer's selection of Catapult C Synthesis is the latest illustration of the strong momentum Mentor has achieved with its ESL in the Japanese market."

Game of the Week: Hoxie, Wallace County matchup a good indicator
By CONOR NICHOLL
Hoxie High School senior center/nose guard Mitchel Johnson has looked forward to playing Wallace County all year. Individually, Johnson has a rematch against Wildcat all-state senior center/nose guard Dalton Walker.
Overall, this Friday's contest in Hoxie provides two talented teams a good barometer entering district action. Game time is 7 p.m. in Hoxie.
"If we beat them, then we can probably beat anyone," Johnson said.
Week 2 marks the fourth straight season Wallace County and Hoxie match up in the regular season. Hoxie won the first meeting 44-0, while the Wildcats have delivered 30-22 and 20-6 victories the last two seasons. Last week, Wallace County opened with a 51-0 victory against a Dighton team capable of putting up big numbers, and Hoxie defeated Tribune-Greeley County 54-6.
"I think every coach will tell you, you want some difficult games in your non-district, your first two for most people," Wallace County coach Kevin Ayers said. "They are going to show some things that we need to definitely work on and maybe expose some weaknesses. That's good early in the season."
Wallace County has made the playoffs all seven seasons under Ayers, is 19-3 since the start of the 2011 season and is ranked No. 4 in Eight-Man Division II in the statewide media poll.
Hoxie, 20-9 since the '10 start, is receiving votes in Eight-Man Division I.
"It's good to get to play a good team pretty early in the season," Hoxie coach Lance Baar said. "Just kind of let you know where you are at. Sharon Springs is definitely a team that has a good track record. They have been good for quite some time. If we can play up with Sharon Springs, we should be able to play right up with the rest of our schedule."
Last Friday, Hoxie rushed 33 times for 254 yards and had three players record at least six carries, including 16 carries for 164 yards and three TDs from junior Connor Katt. Baar said Hoxie kept things "pretty simple" against a Greeley County squad that is 1-18 in the last 19 games and has a first-year coach.
Senior quarterback Chase Kennedy, the team's leader, completed 2 of 3 passes for 25 yards and a score and had one rush for four yards. Baar and Katt expect Kennedy -- last season's team leader in total offense -- to have a much bigger role this week.
"He is the one that you want out there," Katt said.
Defensively, Hoxie collected eight sacks, including 3.5 from junior defensive end Tyler Ewers.
"A lot of those plays came right to him," Baar said. "It was just like a present for him. He is just doing his job, coming off the ball and doing what he is coached to do."
Senior Chance Hoeting moved in from Rexford in the middle of last season. He suffered a concussion during fall camp and had to miss a lot of practice. Hoeting played on special teams, started on offense and came in at nose guard and linebacker on defense. He finished with three tackles and 1.5 sacks.
"He really surprised me," Baar said. "He brought a lot of energy that you don't necessarily see everyday in practice."
Wallace County, the classification's No. 1 scoring defense at 9.1 points per game allowed in 2012, limited Dighton to 41 total yards. The Hornets had some injuries, but had multiple returners, including explosive back Isaac Alinor returning from a team that averaged 39 points per contest.
Wallace County senior Cayden Daily had a 55-yard punt return early, a play that senior Kyle Gfeller called a "huge start."
"I was still pleased with how our kids got to the ball and stayed pretty assignment-sound," Ayers said. "For our first game, it was one that we felt pretty good about. We just have a lot of work to do. There was no major, glaring things that really popped out to us, but just so many little things."
Arguably the best matchup comes at the interior with Walker and Johnson. Last season, Johnson had 68 tackles and a team-high three sacks, while Walker had 40 tackles and a Wildcat-best eight tackles for loss. In 2012, Johnson had eight tackles and a sack, while Walker had seven tackles and one TFL in the matchup.
"Him and Dalton Walker went round and round last year," Baar said.
The 5-foot-8, 215-pound Walker is a state powerlifting champion, while Johnson is 6-4, 215. Johnson has gained 30 pounds in the last season and bumped his squat from 240 to 360-370 pounds. On Friday, Johnson, Walker and their teams will receive its first tests of a season that both hope stretch well into November.
"Dalton Walker is a good player and I want to try to play my best against him," Johnson said.

Great Invites!
Whispering Feather Rectangle Invitations I love these invitations! It was a little difficult to fit every word we wanted on them without it interfering with the design below but once we figured that out they were perfect!
Whispering Feather Rectangle Invitations I absolutely love my invitations! I ordered these for my summer wedding because they looked classy yet modern and summery! I chose the dusty rose color and I love how it looks. The look and feel of the invitation is really perfect. It took less than a week for me to put in the order and receive my package. When I ordered my RSVP cards in a different color, MagnetStreet's customer service emailed me to make sure that's what I wanted and even though I did want that, I really appreciate them taking the time to double-check with me!
Simple and yet Sweet Card
Whispering Feather Rectangle Invitations We had used Magnet street for our save the dates and then again for our wedding invitations. Again I can say Magnet street was very professional and prompt with their services. It was easy to change the font and colors to what we wanted.

Set your bar a little low, he isn't the kind of guy to immortalize his own work, if you are able to talk to him I think there is about a 99% chance of him saying yes. But asking for it to be official is nearly impossible. There is no 'official' fan-fiction as of this post... but who knows later?JMBCHIEF wrote:and I'd prefer it to be and official crossover.
Take off the grim tales and that kind of sounds like my story... shamelessly promoted in my signature. Your concept is good, that much is a given. I am a sucker for time travel. What will make your story infinitely better than mine is the fact it will be drawn.JMBCHIEF wrote:The story of this is that after all of the events of Grim Tales we show some of the heroes of that story. However everything around them starts to fall apart. The reason of this is because a Time Paradox was created during the past. The timeline is changed when the PPG D are about 13 or 14 years old, set after the PPG D comic. What the paradox is created when the girls are brought to the setting of my comic that I'm not going into detail right now.
Err, I never liked the idea of messing with the Roudyroughs... they don't seem to have very much character development to fall back on, and Bleedman left very cryptic details about their involvement with the story before almost dropping them completely. If you MUST use them, AND you want this to be as legit, official and kosher as possible; be very moderate with the Roudyroughs... Very Very moderate.JMBCHIEF wrote:And if the Rowdyruff Boys are going to survive the events of PPG D, they would have and appearance as major antagonists.
That's odd, not putting some of the main characters in early... but hey, it's your story, not mine.JMBCHIEF wrote:The comic pages will start to be made on Tuesday. The girls themselves would not get involved untill later , so I have some time to try and talk to the writers.
JMBCHIEF wrote:I didn't want to resort to this, but I am going to tell the first chapter of the comic I'm written form
JMBCHIEF wrote:It is told from Buttercup D's perspective, and is set after the defeat of the main antagonists of PPGD
Third-person narration provides the greatest flexibility to the author and thus is the most commonly used narrative mode in literature. In the third-person narrative mode, each and every character is referred to by the narrator as "he", "she", "it", or "they", but never as "I" or "we" (first-person), or "you" (second-person). In third-person narrative, it is obvious that the narrator be merely an unspecified entity or uninvolved person that conveys the story, but not a character of any kind within the story being told[citation needed]. Third-person singular (he/she) is overwhelmingly the most common type of third-person narrative, before there have been successful uses of the third-person plural (they). Even more common, however, is to see singular and plural used together in one story, at different times, depending upon the number of people being referred to at a given moment in the plot. In third-person narratives, a character never would refer to himself in the third-person e.g., "(Character name) would like to come with you".[citation needed]
If the narrator of the story is not present or is present but not a protagonist and a story told by someone else and not his own, the story is narrated by He/She perspective.[5]
The third-person modes are usually categorized along two axes. The first is the subjectivity/objectivity axis, with "subjective" narration describing one or more character's feelings and thoughts, while "objective" narration does not describe the feelings or thoughts of any characters. The second axis is between "omniscient" and "limited", a distinction that refers to the knowledge available to the narrator. An omniscient narrator has omniscient knowledge of time, people, places and events; a limited narrator, in contrast, may know absolutely everything about a single character and every piece of knowledge in that character's mind, but it is "limited" to that character — that is, it cannot describe things unknown to the focal character. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narrative_mode

Next to him was a man whose attire looked identical to the previous man, though he was a bit more taller and muscular. The last man was entirely different from the others. He was in a robotic samurai like suit. His most notable feature was his large claw on his wrist. He was the largest of the men.
JMBCHIEF wrote:3 years to fight in a war. This was only the very beginning of a nightmare that seemed endless. We explained everything that occurred to the the world, and it had massive media coverage. Because our father was kidnapped, we had to stay with Jack, who was appointed as our legal Guardian. But we did what we were told, and trained every single day until our 14th birthday. The training was excruciatingly hard and painful. But we needed it like that, or else there was no chance we would have survived in the war. But our birthday neared, and we were ready.

"Wash your hands!" How many times have you heard that from your parents? You might think they're just nagging you, but actually the most important thing you can do to keep from getting sick is to wash your hands.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), if you don't wash your hands frequently, you can pick up germs from other sources and then infect yourself. You're at risk every time you touch your eyes, nose, or mouth. In fact, one of the most common ways people catch colds is by rubbing their nose or their eyes after the cold virus has gotten on their hands.
If people don't wash their hands frequently (especially when they're sick), they can spread germs directly to other people or onto surfaces that others touch. And before you know it, everyone around you is coming down with something!
Think about all of the things that you touched today — from the telephone to the toilet. Maybe you blew your nose and played with your dog. Whatever you did, you came into contact with germs. So it's easy for germs on your hand to end up in your mouth (maybe when you scarfed that handful of popcorn with your teammates right after soccer practice).
By frequently washing your hands the right way, you'll wash away germs — such as bacteria and viruses — that you have picked up from other people, through contaminated water and food, from tainted surfaces, or from animals and animal waste.
Did you know that an estimated 1 out of 5 people don't wash their hands after using the restroom? In 2005 the American Society for Microbiology did a survey of hand washing. They asked people questions about their hand-washing habits and also watched people in public restrooms.
The results were kind of gross. For example:
And even if you're a good hand-washer, your friends may be harboring some dirty little secrets: Students don't wash their hands often or well. In one study, only 58% of female and 48% of male middle- and high-school students washed their hands after using the bathroom. Yuck!
There's a right way to wash your hands. Follow these simple steps to keep your hands clean:
To prevent chapping or dry skin, use a mild soap with warm water, pat rather than rub hands dry, and apply a moisturizing lotion liberally afterward.
When there is no soap or water available, waterless hand soaps or scrubs are a good alternative. They're usually available as a liquid, wipes, or towelettes, and often come in small travel sizes that are perfect for keeping in your book bag, car, locker, purse, or sports bag.
Remember, proper and frequent hand washing is the key to preventing the spread of many common infections. So hum a few verses of "Happy Birthday" and lather up!

Personal List Created When Adding New List to Site
May 7, 2013We received a question about why when a member adds a new list to the site, we also create a personal list for them with the same items in the same order. We do this for a number of reasons.
First, we have received multiple complaints from people who after adding a top ten list, find out that their original ordering has changed. Granted, this is the nature of the site, but people still sometimes get upset. Having a personal version of your list gives you a copy of your original that will be unaffected by the popular vote.
Second, people have expressed a desire to reorder their lists after they have been submitted and approved. We don't do this because doing so would run counter to the public opinion methodology of ranking items on the site. Instead, with a personal list, you can go back and edit the list at any time in case your tastes change or you discover something new. Plus, since we are now incorporating personal lists into the ranking system, when you reorder your existing list, your new reordering will have an effect on the main list.
So, given how many people want complete control of their lists on the site and the fact that there is no real downside, we figured the best option was to automatically create a personal copy of all new lists added by members so they didn't have to do it manually.

Improved medications have helped many people with HIV live longer, but treating older adults with HIV presents some unique challenges.
The challenges related to diagnosing HIV in older adults have been well documented. In many instances, both doctors and patients are uncomfortable discussing risk factors, such as unprotected sex and injection drug use, and the symptoms of HIV can mimic symptoms of other conditions common in older adults.
Once a diagnosis is made, however, there are additional challenges for older adults with HIV and the doctors who treat them. The most effective combination of drugs can interact with medications these adults frequently take for a host of other conditions, such as high blood pressure .
Drug Interactions
The protease inhibitors that are a critical part of treating HIV inhibit an enzyme in the liver that metabolizes medications, raising the risk of drug interactions, says Karl Goodkin, MD, PhD.
"Usually, you just avoid prescribing the drugs that interact," says Dr. Goodkin. "You don't have that option here. You have to prescribe the drugs. Substance abuse and diet can also interact with these antiretroviral medications. We are in a quandary right now. As a result, we're entering a whole new area of research to define what's appropriate to do."
HIV drugs may also increase the risk of certain conditions, such as high cholesterol , high triglyceride levels , kidney stones , inflammation of pancreas, and liver damage. Plus, the volume and range of medications that elders take also increase the risk of drug interaction.
Remembering to Take Medications
There is also the issue of getting patients to remember to take all of their medications.
One of the most common reasons HIV patients do not take their medications is because they forget. Forgetting to take medications can be very serious for someone with HIV. Taking medications on a regular basis helps decrease the amount of the virus in the body, called viral load.
The decrease in viral load improves overall health and quality of life. Evidence from one study found that people who took their medications 95% or more of the time spent less time in the hospital, and had fewer infections, and deaths.
Some Good News
There is good news, however, on two fronts. Patients who take their medication "have a very good chance of getting a good response," says Dr. Fantry. And older adults may experience the same benefits from treatment as do younger patients. "Seniors generally have a better acceptance about taking their HIV medication than do younger people," Dr. Fantry explains, "because they are already used to a daily routine of taking pills."
"The elderly people in our clinic clearly have a responsible attitude toward their disease," she says. "They may need more support to do it, but once you put the supports in place with the social worker, pill boxes and reminders, they seem to do well."
There have also been significant advances in reducing the number of pills that need to be taken to control the illness. "We've come a long way from 20 pills a day," says Dr. Fantry. "We have a regimen where we can get good control with just one pill in the morning and one in the evening. You cannot do that with everyone. One regimen is seven pills a day, but it is much better than we had just a few years back. The news is clearly not all negative. Every year, it gets a little easier to take medication."

Westminster College has a strong tradition of preparing students to enter a variety of pre-professional schools that focus on health and medicine (allopathic, osteopathic, dental, veterinary, optometry, podiatric, etc.). The Westminster curriculum, in combination with departmental programs (e.g., Biology, Chemistry, Neuroscien, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry), has a proven track record of preparing students for further success in pre-professional programs. Our Medical Professions Advisory Committee (Med PAC) works with our students throughout their four years at Westminster as they plan and prepare for their choice of a medical profession.
Many students are surprised to learn that they can major in a variety disciplines and go to medical school. In fact, medical schools are encouraging students to become more broadly based in their undergraduate education. For most medical schools, the following courses are required: 2 semesters of introductory biology, 2 semesters of inorganic chemistry, 2 semesters of organic chemistry, 2 semesters of physics, l year of English (to include at least one course in writing and grammar), and often 1 semester of calculus.
Even though these are the minimal requirements for most medical schools and graduate health programs, we encourage our students to take additional science courses as well as courses in the humanities and social sciences. Courses in which logic, reading, writing, and analysis are emphasized are especially essential. The development of problem solving skills is critical. Students preparing for medical school most often select a major in the deaprtments of biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, or psychology, but majors in other departments are equally acceptable.
Recommended Sequence of Required Courses and MedPAC Suggestions:
First year:
Register with Med PAC Secretary in the biology department if you have any interest in a health career
Complete two Introductory Biology courses and two courses of Chemistry (two Inorganic or one Inorganic and one Organic)
Second year:
Complete the third Introductory Biology course, Biostatistics, and Organic Chemistry or Physics
Completea Calculus course (if possible)
During the summer, begin to review the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT), DAT, OAT, or other professional admissions test, usually taken in the spring of the junior year
During the summer, complete at least one internship (e.g., research, shadowing a professional)
Third year:
Complete the full year of Organic and/or Physics
Complete Calculus course (if not yet completed)
We also recommend a test preparation course during the spring semester of the Junior year (e.g., Kaplan)
At least 6 semester hours (two courses) of Reading and Writing/Composition that emphase verbal and analytic skills
Complete the Med PAC Recommendation Request Form and submit it to the MedPAC secretary before spring break
Apply to medical or professional schools starting June l5, if at all possible; although the deadlines for most schools extend into the fall semester
During the summer, complete at least one internship (e.g., research, shadowing a professional)
Fourth year:
Interviews with schools.
AND...ATTEND ALL Med PAC SPONSORED MEETINGS

Creating Magic for Her Kids
By the time Deen was a mother herself, she had come to realize "you do what you have to do" to make Christmas happy for your kids. It was an annual Deen tradition to bake cookies M&M's ones, which were set out on Christmas Eve with a glass of milk and a note for Santa and were discovered to be half-eaten the next morning. "I always tried, and so did your dad, to make it good for y'all," she recalls with a nod toward Bobby. It was no small feat, considering that Deen and her ex-husband, she says, "disagreed on one thing: everything." But looking back on his childhood holidays, Bobby assures her they did a very good job of hiding it: "I don't know how y'all did it. And now I realize you couldn't afford all the stuff we got."
But the gifts the boys received were almost overshadowed by the presents they brought their teachers, straight from their mom's legendary kitchen. "I used to make candy after candy. I would go to the dime store and get jars and send it to their teachers," Deen says. "Oh, the divinity, the buckeyes, and the coconut balls!" says Bobby. "I remember those really well." The jars were tied with beautiful ribbon, and "the teachers always looked forward to that...I always got great grades in January," he adds with a laugh.
Paula's Tree Traditions
Deen also earned a reputation for other notable holiday goings-on: There was that one year, she recalls, when all the needles fell off the tree, and it became the neighborhood's holiday spectacle, with people stopping in just to look at it and laugh a special affront for a woman who admits to being "big-time anal about my tree." With one notable exception there was a recent year when she let her stringent criteria for a perfect tree slip: Blame it on love. It was the first Christmas she and Groover were together they'd been dating about four months and she warned him that he might not want to join her expedition to find the perfect tree. It was an errand known to swallow up several hours of an afternoon. "So we pull up to the first Christmas tree stand, and I was so crazy about the man, so happy to be with him, that I walked up to the very first tree and said" and here, she does a parody of herself, fluttering her substantial eyelashes and putting an extra dollop of honey on her Southern twang "'It's just bee-you-ti-ful.' And he asked me if that was the one I wanted, and I said yes, and we were there all of three minutes." It was only after they got it home that she realized "that son of a gun didn't have a backside to it." Fortunately, Groover was able to wire some extra boughs to the trunk to bring it closer to Deen's expectations.
The Most Perfect Present...
And thanks to Groover, there's a special new holiday tradition in the Deen household. She sums it up in one word "jewwwwwwwelry" and one gesture, extending her left hand to show off a diamond ring that most closely resembles, in size and scope, a crystal punch bowl. In fact, the couple got engaged on Christmas morning in 2002, and the USA Today version of the story might be, as Deen says, "It was the most romantical Christmas." But of course the story is a lot longer than that and you'd have to be drinking some pretty strong eggnog to think that Deen doesn't relish the opportunity to recount it.
On her way to bed the night before, she had noticed a strange gift tucked at the back of the tree. It was about the size of a bread box and shaped like a house with one word, "Paula," written on it. In the morning, her sons and his kids convened at her house. So did Bubba and his family, as well as Groover's younger brother, plus his wife and kids. "And I thought, What is going on?" Deen recalls. She was encouraged to open that mysterious house-shaped Paula box right away. "And inside that box, there's another box surrounded by all my favorite candies like Hershey's with Almonds and Kisses," she says. "And the next box just said, 'I.' So I open that box and it, too, was holding a box surrounded by all this wonderful candy. And that box said 'Love.'" At which time, her niece Corrie pointed out that the boxes were spelling out a message; was Deen reading them? "And I said no. So I had to go back: 'Paula, I Love...' The next one said 'You.' Same thing a smaller box inside. It said 'Will.' Next box inside that one, 'You.' Then 'Be' and 'My.' And the one that said 'Wife' held this ring and was surrounded by chocolates."
The entire time she's recounting this story, Groover sits across from her with the gentlest smile on his face. She looks at him and shakes her head and says, "I think it's so typical of him to have done all this propose to me without saying a word."
Sharing Her Greatest Gift
The words at this year's Christmas will likely be dominated by baby talk, as Deen's only grandchild, Jack (the child of her son Jamie and his wife, Brooke), is 2 years old now and will be more aware of the season's activities. "Last year, the bright ribbons were what attracted his eyes," she says. This year, she's planning on cooking up and baking up memories with him during the holidays. "It has been so long since we've had a little one in the house, and I am definitely going to cook with Jackpot. We'll be making peanut butter balls. I'm getting him an Easy Bake Oven. And I got him a miniature set of cast iron that hangs on my pot rack, just waitin' on him."
And along with that, she'll give him the beginnings of a much larger gift: the joy of cooking for others. "I love the immediate gratification of food," Deen explains. "I'm so glad I'm not a dentist. How many times does someone say, 'Oh, Doc, it felt so good when you were drilling my teeth'? Never. But when you give someone a wonderful cookie, you put a little of yourself in, and you see someone's face light up that's immediate approval that you've done something good."

I have come to the conclusion that Tory makes the best cardigans around! This one is no exception. The quality is excellent, as is the fit (which I found to be true to size). I love the sheerness of this sweater-I have worn it a couple of times with tops that have patterns and open, detailed backs to work-the sweater provides enough coverage so the pretty details of my tops could peek out. Perfect for work or play year round in Florida. Love it - totally worth the investment.

This blog is intended to reflect the highs and lows that I face day to day working as a sole practitioner.
I tend to blog regularly. I don't know why, but there is a strong need in me to blog my every day experience. I have no idea how long this will last.
All I can say is It helps me to put my thoughts, feelings and views on a blog. When writing I am not too concerned about spelling, grammar or even how I come across. I feel that if I worry about these areas, the subject matter I want to put across will not reflect how I am thinking and feeling at the time.
My blogs reflect the type of person I am. That is the nature of blogging. It is meant to reflect views and thoughts of the blogger.
I will not be to everyone's tastes. Thankfully AW has a good variety of bloggers. This means there are more than likely to be blogs more in keeping with your taste.
I am humbled by the fact that my blog is actually read! Not only this but some readers go as far as commenting.
Thank you for reading my blogs and commenting. I really do appreciate it.

1817, 18 of Seventh Month. Harvest two or three weeks later than formerly. Reaping � had eleven hands, and with very hard scrabbling they cut it all down about fourteen acres and on the whole very good. 19. We got about two-thirds of it in. A smart shower catched some. 20. First Day. At our meeting. A very poor, low shut up time. Almost completely overwhelmed with ease, dullness, and indifferency. Hardly deserved the name of a meeting. I pitied the sincere seekers. Getting in our harvest and hay. Weather showery, but we scrabbled and got along very well. Our barn never better filled with grain and choice, good hay. 24. Fifth Day. At our meeting. Very small, people very busy getting in grain and hay. Weather rainy, but yet I believe harvest is generally got in. Our meeting, though low and poor, I thought not destitute of some savor of life and ownings of truth. Came off without condemnation. I have read an account that the persecutors of our first Friends said of them that they would keep up their meetings if their corn dropped in the ground, but they lived and attended their meetings so as to make it answer a good purpose. They pleased the Lord and obtained his favor, and that was enough and far transcended all this world could afford. But they did not tend their meetings in a poor, dry, formal way, nor were they overwhelmed with a spirit of ease and dullness. 28. First Day. At our meeting. I thought it a very poor, low time, but I don�t know, for I was so unwell I could hardly sit meeting. William Ashby of Philadelphia came to see me Seventh Day night and will at meeting and had acceptable service and Ebenezer Roberts, also my wife and children, and William Ashby went to a meeting at four at the schoolhouse near the Green Tree Tavern and they say they had a very open, good meeting. Hinchman Hain appointed it and was very large among a people who seldom tend any sort of meeting. I have been twelve months trying to open a door amongst them, and now I hope it will be occupied. This is the 2nd meeting with them. Very busy getting hay and favored to get along, though it goes very hard with me. [Margin] I so poorly I could not go with them. August 1817 Fifth Day. At our meeting I thought to me more lively, open and satisfactory than common. By thee, said David, have I run through a troop and leaped over a wall [Psalm 18:29].

I've always been somewhat surprised that we allow multi-use packages here in restaurants. How easy would it be for someone to contaminate a ketchup bottle, for example, if they were so inclined? I'm also always suspicious of things like salsa in a Mexican restaurant. I've watched at more than one restaurant where unused sauce from the tables is returned to the master container to be reserved to the next unsuspecting customer - double dips and all.
So let's come up with a list of all the different ways for a restaurant to do us harm and ban them all. Whenever you eat out, aren't you placing a great deal of trust the eatery will feed you right? Can you really legislate and enforce any of this, even in areas with stringent sanitary codes? In my many years of eating out (here and abroad), I can count on one hand the number of times I contracted a food borne illness. There is no way to know for sure, but my guess the main culprit is improperly stored or expired ingredients, not cross-contamination from another patron.
What if some nut case decides to go to a bunch of restaurants and drop cyanide in the ketchup bottles? If this ever happens, you will never see another multi-use ketchup bottle on a table again. If it happens will we ask why we didn't think about it before it happened?
I will cede your point on the ketchup, especially since once I was pouring ketchup out of bottle onto a burger and out came a cigarette butt! Eeeewwww. But what comes to my mind when discussing this topic are deliberate acts by disgruntled employees. I have been told it is common knowledge among food service employees that a few drops of Visine into food can cause immediate and severe diarrhea. According to Snopes, Visine's action is far more severe:http://www.snopes.com/medical/myths/visine.aspThis kind of thing bothers me a lot more than reused dressings. Do I really want to send something back to the kitchen if it isn't to my liking?
By the way how it's served ketchup(olive oil etc.) in expensive restaurants?
Heinz makes single serve glass bottles that look like miniature ketchup bottles; this is what you often see in hotel room service. I would say by far the most common way in high end restaurants is just a small ramekin filled with ketchup.

You won't get why this was made unless you read through Spam or have previously talked to Fummo or myself. Point is this is part of our long running, and quite succesful, childrens' book series for all ages. Rated R for language and... well yeah for anything that might offend anybody.
Not really looking for criticism on the writing, I just need a place to post it that doesn't move fast. I welcome comments though, just don't expect me to take any suggestions to heart since these stories are made out of fun and in no way represent my writing ability.
The Intrepid Adventures of Fummo and Jesus
Volume 7- The end of a Feud
Chapter 1
It was a sunny day in the state of Michigan's own little slice of Hell. Birds were chirping, rabbits were frolicking about, and Doctor Who nerds were being severely beaten by the populace. All in all everything was in accord to call it a perfect start of the summer season. Ever since Old Man Jenkins had been incarcerated due to the involvement of Fummo and myself by revealing that his secret taffy was actually made by the grinding of sixteenth century Spanish conquistador bones* (which the new law proclaimed was illegal) the city had yet again called us heroes.
Not about to change our daily summer rituals due to the mourning of said conquistadors, we called out the tree house crew for what we believed would be the the greatest summer in our long and fruitful lives. In a matter of minutes the crew had assembled within the premises of Fummo's yard. There was lil' Lily the little old scamp who always seemed to be brown nosing me. Tuor James, the heart stealing fiend that could steal your girl before you could say "this old man, he played one, he played knick knack with my thumb." Math SchwarzenVaughnuggen a German kid who had transferred to our elementary school in the third grade and enjoyed correcting the grammar of everybody(much to our disdain) but was relatively clueless when it came to people. Young Doctress, whom years of humiliation due to her enjoyment of bad tv shows had caused her to be bitter and a total cocktease. BeeAre and Grey, the crew's sarcastic douches who next to Fummo were some of my best friends. There was Wizard the third, who for some reason always had some business to bring. And finally Stuffanna, the most recent addition to the crew since we were lacking an easy hot slut. Sitting down around the tree houses' chimney** as we drank hot cocoa and talked, Fummo and I were getting ready to tell the crew about our most recent adventure plans.
"Settle down everyone, settle down" said Fummo with an extremely effeminate voice.
"Jeezy Creezy and I have been awaiting all semester long to tell you guys about our most recent endeavors."
Total silence fell in the room. It was so silent that one could in fact say that it was alive in a sort of manner.
"As you all know we saved the town again from yet another crazy old man, and I have the bestest of new-"
"Ja! It is not grammatically correct to say 'bestest' mein schnitzel! You have to say best!" interrupted Math as groans overtook the silence from the rest of the crew.
"Thank you Math. Your brilliant deducting skills have amazed us once again" I scoffed with sarcasm. Lulz ensued as I was the crew's clown. And super sexy.
*Read the previous volume to understand
** Fummo's dad was a top notch carpenter. [page 1]
"Anyways... the mayor gave Jesus and I special permission to walk into any store we like and take whatever we desire for free!" exclaimed Fummo with excitement.
What followed was not what we expected; instead of the cheers and applause we ever so desired, we got menacing stares from everybody but Stuffanna, who was too busy being a slut.
"Like, what does this mean for us then? you poopy head" remarked Tuor with the incredible vocabulary my father had gifted him with. All the years of reading books had done no good for him.
"It means you get free shit, double poopy baby" I retorted. In an instant the tension was gone and everybody was crying of laughter. For I am so god damn funny and nobody can resist me.
"Haha! Anyways, thanks to the secret techniques passed along my family, I motivated the mayor to let us buy weapons in Military'R US. We can finally take revenge upon the Nagging Naggers crew from across the street!" said Fummo. I did not care about his cockiness, I was super humble. Like the humblest of the humble.
As the last words to Fummo's announcement were uttered, the gang had risen to cheers and applause at the idea of making those assfaces our bitches. We then proceeded to take out the keg and weed and celebrated the rest of the night. Amidst all the sexual intercourse and smoking, no one heard the evil cackles from right outside the window.

An omphalocele is a birth defect in which an infant's intestine or other abdominal organs are outside of the body because of a hole in the belly button (navel) area. The intestines are covered only by a thin layer of tissue and can be easily seen.
An omphalocele is a type of hernia . Hernia means "rupture."
An omphalocele develops as a baby grows inside the mother's womb. The muscles in the abdominal wall (umbilical ring) do not close properly. As a result, the intestine remains outside the abdominal wall.
Infants with an omphalocele often have other birth defects. Defects include genetic problems (chromosomal abnormalities), congenital diaphragmatic hernia, and heart defects.
An omphalocele can be clearly seen. This is because the abdominal contents stick out (protrude) through the belly button area.
There are different sizes of omphaloceles. In small ones, only the intestines remain outside the body. In larger ones, the liver or spleen may be outside as well.
Prenatal ultrasounds often identify infants with an omphalocele before birth. Otherwise, a physical examination of the infant is enough for your health care provider to diagnose this condition. Testing is usually not necessary.
Omphaloceles are repaired with surgery , although not always immediately. A sac protects the abdominal contents and allows time for other more serious problems (such as heart defects) to be dealt with first, if necessary.
To fix an omphalocele, the sac is covered with a special man-made material, which is then stitched in place to form what is referred to as a "silo". Slowly, as the baby grows over time, the abdominal contents are pushed into the abdomen.
When the omphalocele can comfortably fit within the abdominal cavity, the silo is removed and the abdomen is closed.
Sometimes the omphalocele is so large that it cannot be placed back inside the infant's abdomen. The skin around the omphalocele grows and eventually covers the omphalocele. The abdominal muscles and skin can be repaired when the child is older for a better cosmetic outcome.
Complete recovery is expected after surgery for an omphalocele. However, omphaloceles often occur with other birth defects. How well a child does depends on which other conditions the child has.
If the omphalocele is identified before birth, the mother should be closely monitored to make sure the unborn baby remains healthy.
Plans should be made for careful delivery and immediate management of the problem after birth. The baby should be delivered in a medical center that is skilled at repairing omphaloceles. The baby's outcome is improved if he or she does not need to be taken to another center for further treatment.
Parents should consider screening their unborn baby for other genetic problems that are associated with this condition.
This problem is diagnosed and repaired in the hospital at birth. After returning home, call your health care provider if the infant develops any of these symptoms:

Comments On Mar 29, 2013:This is a decent value-priced tube. It works for what it's designed to do but keep in mind that it's not a heavy-duty or puncture resistant tube, it's a basic tube that holds air under normal conditons. Works fine for me, I don't abuse my tires too much, just once in a while :)
