'' It hard for me to reach god form.. but i must keeep fighting to survive HUZZAH!''
'' It hard for me to reach god form.. but i must keeep fighting to survive HUZZAH!''
I am 17 turning 18 on Agust 30 I am a mut (I am mostly english and Sweedish but my blood does have Japanese in it) Sadly you can see it more in my sister then me T^T, I am a huge anime Otaku, I cosplay on a regular basis (at school parties, I even am going to prom as Vincent from Final Fantasy) I resemble a black hair Piro (if you read Megatoyko) if not then well, I have black medium length hair, glasses and I am well IDK what style I am, I normally wear a fedora (have a lot but normally I wear a black or gray one though) I wear a black coat with a t-shirt that has something to do with anime or gamming (that or I just wear a T-shirt that I drew on) Jeans and a necklace (normally the geass symbole or ichigo's mask) oh and a FMA pocket watch, some people tell the that that is goth, but I think I am too wild to be goth. That and I sometimes like to wear all white too, just to screw with people. I have a hyper active personality which come in handy when I am writting or drawing (I am working on 4 books right now and one comic, I finished working on 3 books last year and am currently talking to publishers) Let see, umm I think that is it. Oh wait, I am single, I only had one seriously relationship, ended badly. So now I am on a search to find someone who understands me, and will accept me for well me. Eventhough I don't think she is out there, it is nice to at least think that way. Hopefully she will be Japanese and have the love of anime as much as I do, wishful thinking. -_-
...... n I feel like I put way too much....sorry *nervous laugh*
Anime is life, Creativity is blood
and theres a website that publishes books for people it's just a small fee. i can't remember the site i think it's createspace =) my mom likes to write books =D and when u publish make sure to tell me =) oh and u and me are kinda simular =D and i don't think u wrote to much 'cause some people write a lot =p
< Where do the years go >
If you are talking about the cosplay I normally get it from my friends who go to comicon and buy (or in the Vincent case) stole (they stole it from their friend because they have a big stealing cosplay outfits from one another) But umm, I think I know the website, I was going to do that but my neighbors ended up giving my book to a publisher so that they could read it. If you have an email or a gaia (gaiaonline.com) I would be happy to show you some of my writting, it would be the fanfiction one though. also the years fly by when ur an otaku, it feels like one long day lol.
"Anime is life, Creativity is blood"
I'm 17 turning 18 this dec. 08 of course I'm single. I'm a proudly Filipino. I love anime and manga so much I think I'm even addictive to it. I'm a goth/punk/rocker. I love horror movies and psychotic also. I just love blood shed movies.

Gorgeous piece! I am a very voluptuous girl and I was worried about getting something that cinched into my waist while it wasn't too small in the chest. This was perfect! The only reason I didn't give it five stars was the fact that it was well over a week past the latest it was supposed to be delivered.

A Chicago Street man captured by Erie County sheriff's deputies assigned to the Buffalo Operation Strike Force remains in custody on stolen car, reckless endangerment, resisting arrest and other charges, Undersheriff Mark N. Wipperman confirmed Wednesday.
Carlos A. Rogers, 19, was finally arrested by Deputies Simon Biegasiewicz and Mike Okal on Genesee Street at about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday near Nevada Street after a high-speed car chase that began when the deputies spotted him on Grider Street and their on-board license plate reader set off a "stolen vehicle alarm."
The deputies said they pulled over Rogers near Sussex Street and as they approached his car, he sped off. He was arrested a short time later on Genesee Street and handcuffed after a brief struggle, Wipperman said.
Rogers was arraigned Wednesday morning in Buffalo City Court and ordered held without bail on charges of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, reckless endangerment, resisting arrest, obstructing governmental administration, reckless driving, operating a vehicle without a valid driver's license and numerous vehicle and traffic infractions.

Entrepreneurs Under 25 (The Young And The Relentless)
"I don't give up. I'm definitely meant to be an entrepreneur," said entrepreneur Cheryl Yeoh.
By Karin Kamp (Director of Digital Media, The Story Exchange)
At a time of high levels of youth joblessness – the latest U.S. figures show that the unemployment rate for workers under 25 is over 16% – some are betting that the best chance for finding a job, is creating one.
Over the past month, The Story Exchange has been interviewing young women who have started their own businesses to understand how they've came so far, so fast.
What we found is a group who are fearless in the face of uncertainty and simply propel themselves forward without over thinking the obstacles.

โดย bumbleclot 08 ธันวาคม 2008
In the game of pool, the big balls are the stripes, as opposed to the solids, which are called small balls. One can imagine that the solid-colored balls look smaller than the stripes, although they are all identical except in appearance.
John knocked in the nine ball first, so he got the big balls. (The nine ball is striped)

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Before a biopharmaceutical company releases a new batch of biotherapeutics, it needs to conduct comparability studies with FDA-approved production lots to demonstrate the new batch is indistinguishable from officially approved lots. While such quality assessment processes are well-established for small molecule drugs, the process presents a new challenge for manufacturers of biotherapeutics.
Mass spectrometry seems to be the technology platform of choice when comparing newly produced batches of biotherapeutics with previously approved reference samples. While detailed regulations for the quality assessment of biotherapeutics are still in development, an increasing number of biopharmaceutical companies (including producers of biosimilars) have adopted mass spectrometry-based workflows in their quality control processes for biotherapeutics.
Obviously, the quality assessment process needs to be reliable and efficient. An important success factor is hereby the standardization and automation of the data management and analysis process. It requires a comprehensive and scalable data-analysis platform such as that available with Genedata Expressionist for Mass Spectrometry.
This tutorial will outline a data-analysis process for assessing the quality of biologics drugs using Genedata Expressionist for Mass Spectrometry.
Over the last decade mass spectrometry (MS) has become the preeminent method for the quantitative analysis of proteins. While characterization of intact proteins is possible using modern high-resolution MS instruments, most applications rely on a tryptic digest of the complete protein to smaller peptides followed by a liquid chromatographic separation and subsequent mass spectrometry of the peptide mixtures (LC-MS).
As there is a positive correlation between the abundance of peptide in a given sample and the magnitude of the corresponding MS signals, MS data is very useful in many life science applications ranging from patient stratification, precision medicine, and predictive toxicology in drug development, to microbial strain optimization in industrial biotechnology.
MS data analysis requires the quantitation and identification of peptide peaks across samples followed by multivariate statistical analysis to find significant peptide and protein biomarkers. Including post-translational modifications, the human proteome is estimated to contain more than 100,000 distinct proteins. Typical LC-MS experiments of human plasma and serum can reliably detect and measure about 25,000 peptide fragments from about 5,000 proteins. As such, protein biomarker discovery truly is a search for a needle in a haystack.
Biotherapeutics are produced by genetically modified organisms (expression systems) in industrial-scale fermentors followed by harvesting, purification, and filling. Some of the factors that can negatively impact production and result in product deviations from the original protein (i.e., changes in safety and efficacy profiles of the final protein) include:
Before releasing a new biotherapeutics batch, manufacturers must verify that the product matches the reference drug originally approved. While this process is straightforward for small molecule drugs, rigorous establishment of protein bioequivalency is significantly more challenging.
Following the successful adoption of label-free MS methods in different protein analytics applications, manufacturers of protein drugs are now utilizing label-free MS methods to establish bioequivalence: post-production samples of purified proteins are obtained from the production line and are subjected to an enzymatic digestion. The resulting mixture of small peptides is injected into a liquid-chromatography column that is coupled to a high-resolution MS instrument (LC-MS). Alternatively, the instrument can be set to acquire peptide fragmentation data for peak identification using protein databases (LC-MS/MS).
Each peak in the resulting MS chromatogram corresponds to a single peptide, which corresponds to a small sequence of the biotherapeutic protein (Figure 1). By performing a peak detection and raw data quantitation, one can effectively measure the amount of a given peptide present in the protein.
In turn, these numbers can be compared to those obtained from the reference samples and any statistically significant differences between the two samples are indicative of modifications to the protein drug that may give cause for concern and warrant further investigation before release.
While straightforward in theory, to successfully work within a production environment this approach requires:

Meeting on drilling on public land June 3 follows private meetings on Loyalsock drilling
May 25, 2013
The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources will hold a public meeting to discuss Marcellus Shale issues surrounding the Loyalsock State Forest from 4 to 6 p.m....
Please attend this meeting. Tell Sec. Allen this should be the first of many meetings held across the state in each forest district. It SHOULD NOT be the conclusion for this important issue. Ask for a 90 day public comment period because DCNR refuses to be open with the public about the specific facts of the negotiations on the proposed surface agreement. This is PUBLIC LAND. Please attend the meeting and ask Questions.
7 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Im all for drilling in loyalsock forest, but just to let you know the public land comment is exactly how these companies were able to drill on public land in wyoming because, it is exactly that land held for the use of the public and these companies are entities that can use it for public use in a way they deem fit, your arguements are nothing new at this point they became experts in argueing against your arguements.
3 Agrees | 5 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
If they drill on PUBLIC land, then the PUBLIC should share in the royality payments. After all, when the bills come due, the public pays them via TAXES.
6 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
If there wasn't so many Newt lovers up there, you should align with OCCUPY and protest, protest, protest. Big money (U.S. Rubber) took Little League across the river, don't let big money win this one. If they do, there is no one to blame but yourselves.
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The point you are all missing, the State does not own all of their subsurface rights. Subsurface rights is the dominant estate. The owners of subsurface have the right to extract the oil, gas, mineral...
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
And that needs changed. If you do not own the mineral rights you basically have no rights to your surface land. Worse thing anyone can do is buy property without the mineral rights. There have been several homes sold out where I live (lived :-)) that did sell with the mineral rights, All I can say is you are stupid to do so.
1 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
How do you think the PUBLIC LANDS were established? Timber barons gave the surface to the State. Majority kept the subsurface rights. This has been going on since 1859 when oil was discoverrd in Titusville, PA Majority of protestors do not understand DCNR doesnt have a say if their lands will be drilled. Private landowners have many options of protecting themselves.
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
If you do not own the mineral rights under your land you basically have no protection. Apparently many don't understand this until it is too late. A bad situation that needs fixed. Now with this rock run thing. I believe the state sold the mineral rights. Again another stupid thing.

I have a old cva muzzleloader that is about 10-12 years old that I really hate just does not shoot very accurate at all. I also failed to take good care of cleaning it years ago when I first got it. The old cva I have is like a bolt action style that you have to pull the bolt out and stick the bar thru to pull the breach. I seen all the newer style muzzleloaders look allot nicer know. I am looking at dicks sporting goods and bass pro which is beter and why of each please. I only use it to deer hunt with. I also like the package ones that come with scope but does not have to I can always buy another scope.
Thanks in advance.

Pharmaceutical waste
UW-Extension's Solid and Hazardous Waste Education Center (SHWEC) has developed these key resources for managing and reducing pharmaceutical waste, beginning in 2006 when Wisconsin communities first began collecting household medications.
SHWEC offers innovative solutions for collecting and disposing of unused medication, for reducing drug waste and for finding sustainable funding for household medication collection programs. SHWEC has also done basic research into how much pharmaceutical waste is being generated in Wisconsin and how its residents are disposing of it, and it has spearheaded a regional effort to keep pharmaceuticals out of the Great Lakes.

Orange Park, Fla. – The Stetson women's golf team failed to make any ground on Saturday in the second round of the JMU/Eagle Landing Invitational.
The Hatters held to their 12th place position in the 16-team field by posting a 308 on a gusty day at Eagle Landing Golf Club. Consistent wind in the 10-15 mile per hour range included gusts of 20 miles per hour and more.
The winds didn't seem to bother Georgia State, which posted a 297 to take a three-shot lead over first round leader Delaware. Elon is in third place one shot further back while Southern Illinois and Samford are tied for fourth, seven shots off the lead.
SIU's Cassie Rushing used a two-under par round of 70 on Saturday to take a one-shot lead over Sunna Vidisdottir of Elon and Tiffany Chan of Daytona State.
Stetson senior Jenna Hoecker had the best round of the day for Stetson, posting a two-over par round of 74 to move into a tie for 28th place overall. Hoecker had an up-and-down round with five birdies, six pars and seven bogeys.
Senior Ryan Ashburn had a calmer round, but managed just one birdie on the way to a 74. She is tied with Hoecker for 28th overall in the tournament.
Senior Sammi Smith played her first nine holes at even par with nine straight pars, but had four bogeys and a double bogey on the back nine to go with a pair of birdies. Her four-over par 76 leaves her tied for 39th entering the final round on Sunday.
Senior Claudia Redinger and freshman Giulia Vandenberg both struggled, both posting 10-over par scores of 82 in the second round. Redinger is tied for 68th place while Vandenberg is tied for 79th.
The Hatters will start play in the final round on Sunday on the back nine, playing with Wofford and James Madison. Play will begin with tee times starting at 8 a.m.
Live scoring throughout the final round of the tournament will be available on GolfStat.com.

Texas Sen. John Cornyn bill would let prosecutors carry guns, boost penalties for attacks after Kaufman County
WASHINGTON — Texas Sen. John Cornyn today introduced legislation to expand security measures for prosecutors, judges and law enforcement officers in response to the recent killings of two Kaufman County prosecutors.
The Line of Duty Act of 2013 would allow local governments to use existing funds to provide security details to prosecutors and judges who are perceived to be in danger. It also would let federal prosecutors to carry guns while working in federal buildings.
"Public safety officers like prosecutors put their lives on the line every day, and they deserve the peace of mind to go about their work without fearing for their safety," Cornyn said in a statement.
The bill creates a new federal crime for the killing, attempted killing or conspiring to kill a federal judge or law enforcement officer or a federally funded public safety officer, including state prosecutors and judges.
The Bureau of Prisons would also be required to create a secure gun-storage area for federal corrections officers who wish to carry a gun.
"This legislation would provide prosecutors, judges, and law enforcement officials more flexibility in how they choose to protect themselves and their families, as well as create stronger offenses for those who target our public officials," Cornyn said.
Kaufman County Assistant District Attorney Mark Hasse was gunned down near the county courthouse in January, and District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife, Cynthia, were killed at their home in Forney last month.
No arrests have been made in either case, and no suspects have been publicly identified.

Ronnie Flowers didn't quite know what he was getting into.
Limb-loss statistics
Nearly 2 million people are living with limb loss in the United States.
Among those living with limb loss, the main causes are cardiovascular disease (54 percent), including diabetes and peripheral arterial disease, trauma (45 percent) and cancer (less than 2 percent).
Approximately 185,000 amputations occur in the United States each year.
In 2009, hospital costs associated with amputation totaled more than $8.3 billion.
African‐Americans are up to four times more likely to have an amputation than white Americans.
Nearly half of the individuals who have an amputation due to vascular disease will die within five years. This is higher than the five-year mortality rates for breast cancer, colon cancer and prostate cancer.
Of persons with diabetes who have a lower extremity amputation, up to 55 percent will require amputation of the second leg within three years.
Amputee Coalition of America
Fellow amputees and avid triathletes Jeff Nolan and Ricky Miller coaxed him into doing a triathlon relay at the Tom Hoskins Memorial Triathlon in Irmo in July.
If you go
What: Amp1, an organization of stand-up amputee basketball players, and Limbs Without Limits will have a basketball scrimmage between amputee and nonamputee teams. Team members Tyler Hyatt and Brian Vincent will join participants in Limbs Without Limits for the amputee team.
When: 6-9 p.m. Sept. 24.
Where: Northwoods Community Park Gym, 8348 Greenridge Road, North Charleston.
Cost: Free. Fundraiser consists of a 50/50 raffle, silent auction and sale of food items.
Contact: For more information or to donate auction items, call Emily Nolan at 725-9301.
More info: Limbs Without Limits meets at 6-8 p.m. on the second Tuesday of each month at HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital in North Charleston. Details at www.limbswithoutlimits.org.
Nolan would do the run and Miller the swim. All Flowers had to do was use a hand-cycle to do the 13-mile bike leg.
The easygoing, 31-year-old Flowers, who lost his left leg in a work accident in 2009, went on a few training rides with the guys to make sure he could do it. No big deal.
But what none of the three men realized was that the Hoskins Triathlon was extremely hilly.
"They threw me under the bus," accuses Flowers of Nolan and Miller, with a big grin on his face.
Yet Flowers came out of the experience wanting to do more. Perhaps a full triathlon, and more.
Limbs Without Limits
The men are part of new amputee support group, Limbs Without Limits, which was started by Nolan and his wife, Emily, to encourage local amputees to be more active, whether it's vigorous exercise or social activities such as bowling or playing cornhole.
The group received its nonprofit status a few weeks ago and is ready to expand its efforts.
The Nolans admit, however, that they face obstacles in the form of perceptions. Both work for Floyd Brace, one of about a half-dozen orthotic and prosthetic companies in the greater Charleston area.
Limbs Without Limits is not affiliated with Floyd Brace, though company president Larry Wiley serves on its board, but some think it is. The Nolans want to break down the walls of business competition and build a community of active amputees.
"We just want to give all amputees avenues to reach their dreams," says Emily.
The Nolans can personally attest to the power of helping amputees move on with their lives after losing a limb.
In 2003, a 3,000-pound piece of machinery landed on both of Jeff's legs. Over the next seven years, he wore braces and orthotic devices and had 17 different surgeries that eventually led to the amputation of his left leg.
But after the amputation and getting a new leg, life got better not only for Jeff but his whole family.
Inspired by Richard Blalock, a local runner who had a leg amputated after chronic issues with an ankle, Nolan started participating in triathlons and became a part of Floyd Brace's Phoenix Athletes program.
On Nov. 2, Nolan and Wiley will participate in Ironman Florida, which includes a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride and 26.2-mile run.
The bionic man
While the popular 1970's TV show, "The Six Million Dollar Man" and its spin-off "The Bionic Woman," gave their amputee characters superhuman powers, the shows did somewhat forecast the future, a more whole future, for those who have lost limbs.
Bionic is a fancy term for lifelike prosthetics with custom skins, motors and microchips that replicate human motions.
While ultra-sophisticated artificial limbs are expensive, advances in prosthetics and the higher profile of amputees who lost limbs while serving in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have combined to make this century a new dawn for amputees.
National organizations such as Wounded Warriors and Amputees Active Again Foundation are not only helping them lead full, happy lives but is providing inspiration to amputees, many of whom suffer from obesity and depression from lack of activity.
Starts with the mind
Floyd Brace's Wiley is familiar with those side-effects and hopes that Limbs Without Limits will help create a new lifestyle for local amputees.
"A lot of people just look down one day and say to themselves, 'My God, I'm an amputee. What's next? What am I going to do?' We encourage people to get up and get moving."
Sometimes that can involve expensive equipment, and Wiley hopes his group eventually can fund those purchases.
For now, the group can serve as a conduit for donated equipment, as well as to connect people with other programs.
"Limbs Without Limits isn't just about helping the amputee to recover, but their spouse and kids to recover. Life can improve after getting an amputation," says Wiley. "But it's all up here (in the mind). It's all up here. I can make the leg for anyone, but if I can't unlock the mind, there's nothing I can do."
Jeff Nolan, a regular participant at the Charleston Sprint Triathlon Series for the past three years, is a driving force behind creating Limbs Without Limits. On Nov. 2, he plans to compete in his first Ironman Triathlon.×
Ricky Miller, 42, of Huger, rides one of the two hand-cycles donated to Limbs Without Limits along with Ronnie Flowers.×
Limbs Without Limits meets 6-8 p.m. on the second Tuesday of every month at the back of the HealthSouth building in North Charleston.×

In the past few years, upscale comfort food has become ubiquitous. Three restaurants come quickly to mind: Crossroads Diner, Sissy's Southern Kitchen and Bar, and even Stephan Pyles' new Stampede 66, with its modern Texas cuisine.
They're at the heart of a trend that elevates country cooking to ambitious new heights, and they owe a debt of gratitude to the coffee shops and diners of yesteryear, including the Mecca, still going strong at 74 years old. In August, the venerable Harry Hines dive took over the former Molly Maguire's spot in Lakewood, a far more hospitable neighborhood.
Little has changed. The Mecca brought along its boxy brown booths, tabletops with local advertisements embedded in the acrylic, and memorabilia. The kitchen thrives on deep-fat fryers, bacon and white flour, and its servers wear their hearts on their sleeves and own up when they mess up. The prices aren't as cheap as they were when the Dallas Morning News review framed on one wall was written in 1976: $2.50 for a chicken-fried steak. But they're still darned reasonable: $9.99 for the same CFS today.
What's new are the extended hours: Now the Mecca serves breakfast and lunch right through the evening. It's also on track for a liquor license; you can BYOB until that's approved.
In the meantime, how convenient to have the Wine Therapist next door, where one night we grabbed some therapeutic vinho verde, a refreshing white sipper from Portugal that made an empathetic companion to tender, crispy-crusted fried oysters.
Some of the Mecca's best items, such as skinny onion rings and thick fries, are fried. Even the hash browns are deep-fried if you order them crisp, and every morsel comes out wonderfully crunchy.
The only deep-fried clunker was the chicken-fried steak, whose breading extended annoyingly past the edge of the pounded patty. But worse, it arrived limp and smeared with congealed gravy.
Besides fried goods, the Mecca excels at homespun sides, many not on the menu: English pea salad with mild, slivered cheddar; bacon-flavored greens; classic broccoli salad, mostly chopped stems, with onions, raisins and mayo; creamy mashed potatoes; a terrific version of squash casserole dashed with bacon and red bell pepper; and an ugly albeit tasty lump of scraggly dark greens that is the baked spinach with bacon and corn-muffin crumbs.
One of the Mecca's big draws, easily 6 inches in diameter, is its fragrant cinnamon roll slathered with sugary white glaze and baked fresh throughout the day. I wanted to like it, but it tasted flat; I crave more buttery richness in a pastry like this. There's also a gimmick cinnamon roll: Mecca's Monster will serve 40 to 50 people, according to the menu.
It's no surprise that the Mecca has a tremendous breakfast following, as it gets the basics right. For one breakfast combo, that meant oozy-yolked, over-easy eggs; a nicely grilled slab of ham; those crispy hash browns; and fluffy pancakes the size of saucers.
Personally, though, I'll pay the extra coin to dine at places like Sissy's or Celebration that put more emphasis on local, sustainable sourcing or killer new recipes. But here's the thing: I'd take my dad and stepmom to the Mecca in a minute. This is food they grew up on, and they'd love it.
Kim Pierce is a Dallas freelance writer.
The Mecca (2-stars)
Price: $-$$ (breakfast $3.49 to $12.99, soups and salads $3.99 to $8.99, sandwiches and burgers $6.49 to $8.99, dinner platters $7.99 to $12.99, dessert $2.99 to $4.99)
Service: Warm, confident and sometimes sassy, but at times slow and erratic, as if the
staff doesn't quite have its game on in the new location
Ambience: Old-fashioned, coffee shop-country cafe vibe
Noise level: Even when the place is bustling, conversation's easy.

We love knowing what's on your mind when you read articles on PEOPLE.com, and as always, you gave us plenty of great feedback this week.
Your emotions ranged from "aww" at the photos of Drew Barrymore's daughter Olive, to "ugh" when it came to Miley Cyrus's questionable outfit choice. You also mourned the loss of a legend, singer Jenni Rivera.
Keep letting us know what's making you smile, frown, or LOL each week by clicking on the buttons at the bottom of every article.
You were nearly as thrilled to welcome Drew Barrymore's baby as the proud mom herself! The actress is over the moon about her new daughter Olive, and describes her feelings for her little as "like the biggest crush I've ever had in my life!"
You were highly impressed by professional builder Johan Huibers's latest creation: A full-scale replica of Noah's Ark. The wooden vessel – which is 427 feet long, 95 feet wide and 75 feet high – is a feat of, well, biblical proportions!
You were heartbroken over the news that Mexican-American singer Jenni Rivera was killed in a plane crash shortly after takeoff early Sunday. Rivera, who was known as the Diva of Banda and sold over 20 million albums worldwide, was 43. Her family is also mourning the tragic loss.
Miley Cyrus didn't leave much to the imagination with a revealing outfit worn on stage at a concert in Hollywood. Readers were angry about the young starlet's ensemble, which consisted of tight pants, knee-high snakeskin boots and a peekaboo top that showed more than just a little cleavage.
Well, this is awkward. You weren't too upset about Track Palin filing for divorce from wife Britta Hanson after a year and a half. Their parting made readers LOL. Palin, the oldest son of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, and Hanson were former high school sweethearts.
Check back next week for another must-read roundup, and see what readers are reacting to every day here.

text: Our twins are two weeks old today, and The last two weeks have been scary for me. Dh yells at the girls, and sometimes even cusses at them. This happens mostly at feedings and mostly in the evenings when he is tired. We have the girls on a schedule where they eat every 4 hours and Dh is determined to help when he is not at work. But he yells at them for not eating fast enough, dribbling milk, or falling asleep at the bottle. It makes me feel very upset when he yells at the girls. I want to cry. I've tried to explain to him that they are only two weeks old. That they cant understand him when he yells or cusses at them, and that they will only eat until full. I have explained to him that they are not doing it on purpose that they are only babies. I am terrified to leave him alone with them because of his anger. I am afraid he might get so upset he could do more than yell. I pray he would not get that upset. I just don't know what to do.

It looks like this kid has got the "eye of the tiger" – or at least the eyes of his daddy.
Readers were excited to catch a first glimpse of Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr.'s 9-month-old son Rocky James this week, with many readers deciding that he looks an awful lot like his father. See the story here.
Gellar, 36, was a supermom as she hoisted little Rocky on her hip and held daughter Charlotte Grace, 3 ½, by the hand as they crossed a Los Angeles street Wednesday.
Gellar and Prinze were thrilled to announce Rocky's birth last September, but opted to keep him out of the spotlight – until now.
Mom Gellar is returning to television this fall with The Crazy Ones on CBS, but has made it clear mommyhood trumps work every time.
"My family comes first and you have to be in charge to protect that," she has said. "You have to be the one who says no or you don't have a life, which is what I found out the first time."

Nestled between two buildings along upper King Street, a small, white, seemingly ordinary building is home to a tax service office. But it's where tax preparer Stacy Middleton works and has swindled the U.S. government out of millions of dollars, according to federal authorities.
Inside that building, two women manned the phones on Tuesday afternoon. When asked to speak to Middleton, the woman at the front desk said he was with a client. A man's voice could be heard with a woman in a separate office. A reporter with The Post and Courier was told to leave a message that was never returned by Middleton.
As first reported on postandcourier.com, the federal government filed an injunction on Tax Day, seeking to stop Middleton and George Jenkins, another tax preparer named in the federal complaint, from preparing anyone else's tax returns. Criminal charges have not been filed against the two men. But they may have cost the federal government $55 million, according to federal authorities.
The pair work for MBM Tax and Accounting Services LLC, which conducts tax preparations, bookkeeping, payroll and financial consulting services. Jenkins works out of the company's Blythewood office.
The complaint was filed Monday in U.S. District Court and accuses Middleton and Jenkins of creating fake deductions and overstating and duplicating deductions and credits on their customer's tax returns.
Out of more than 800 tax returns prepared by the duo that were examined by the Internal Revenue Service, 93 percent of them had adjustments to their client's tax liabilities, according to federal authorities.
In all, the pair may have cost the federal government $55 million, according to federal authorities.
MBM has five offices around the state, according to the company's website. Middleton is one of the company's founders, the site stated. In 2007, Middleton and his partners stopped working as a partnership and started to operate a separate tax preparation business, but all operating under the same MBM name, according to federal documents. The offices operate separately, but pool funds for shared advertising expenses, stated court documents.
Between 2008 and 2011, Middleton and Jenkins prepared about 17,000 federal tax returns. Out of the 842 returns examined by the IRS, nearly all of them resulted in adjustments, a federal complaint stated. On average, the IRS estimates there was about a $3,285 deficiency per return. The government's losses netted to $2,765,816, records stated.
Based on estimations by the IRS, to include the thousands of returns prepared by Middleton and Jenkins that have not been reviewed, the government may have lost as much as $55 million to Middleton and Jenkins' alleged schemes, the federal complaint stated.
Middleton and Jenkins created fake deductions and credits or duplicated existing returns, according to court records. The pair are also accused of reporting nonexistent business expenses and deductions on returns in order to create phony business losses to offset their customer's wages. Those bonus expenses included medical, unreimbursed travel and cash charitable contributions.
The pair's fraudulent tax returns have left many of their customers owing a pretty penny to Uncle Sam. Many of them are facing large income tax deficiencies or liability for sizable penalties and interest, according to the federal complaint. "It's unfortunate and I hate this for these clients," said Sharon Mann, president-elect of the S.C. Association of Certified Public Accountants.
Middleton and Jenkins are not licensed with the Board of Accountancy within the S.C. Department of Labor, Licensing & Regulation.
Lesia Kudelka, communications director for the Labor Department, said the IRS determines who can file tax returns. In the past anyone could file a return, she said. To represent a client before the IRS you had to have power of attorney and be an attorney, an accountant or enrolled agent, she said.
"Currently the IRS is implementing a program that requires you to be one of the above or a registered tax preparer, and the IRS handles the program, to prepare a tax return," Kudelka stated in an e-mail.
Mann reminds the public that CPAs and accounting practitioners are credentialed and must abide by state law.
"I don't want to downgrade unlicensed persons, but people need to do due diligence when looking at their returns," she said. "They need to review them."
Calls to the two other listed founders of MBM were not returned. A call to Jenkins was also not returned.

MARTINSBURG - An Eastern Panhandle lawmaker issued a series of questions this week to more than 30 crisis pregnancy centers statewide, according to a press release.
Delegate Stephen Skinner, D-Jefferson, said Tuesday he has concerns that centers might be providing medical advice without being licensed or that they are giving out inaccurate information.
"If that's the case, and they're placing any women in danger by giving them incorrect information, then that's something we need to look into," Skinner said.
Skinner wrote in his letter that, "CPCs, unlike medical clinics, are not licensed or regulated by the state, nor is there much information on CPC practices in the state."
Skinner asked 10 questions of each CPC contacted. These included questions regarding:
how often centers are inspected by the state or self-regulatory bodies
Article PDFs
centers' advertising and marketing practices
centers' policies for answering questions about services provided
services provided by CPCs
referral practices for women seeking birth control or abortion services
whether CPCs have licensed medical professionals on staff
CPCs knowledge of and compliance with state and federal laws regarding the provision of medical services
Abortion services in West Virginia have been in the spotlight recently after Attorney General Patrick Morrisey's inquiry into the medical practices of two clinics in Charleston that perform the procedure.
Skinner said concern regarding CPCs is not a new issue in West Virginia, and that his inquiry is from the perspective of the legislative branch, not the executive branch.
"I'm approaching this at a different angle, because I actually help to write the laws," Skinner said. "The attorney general is supposed to enforce the laws."
While some media reports have indicated the state might be the next reproductive issues battleground, Skinner said the state of abortion access in West Virginia has been decided upon.
"What I think that we need to focus on in West Virginia is jobs and the economy," Skinner said. "Anybody who wants to focus attention on settled issues is merely doing so for political reasons."

Our Richmond inn is "in the middle of it all" for two fun-filled Richmond events in April!
Venture Richmond brings Easter on Parade, that annual event bringing over 25,000 Richmonders and Virginians to Monument Avenue on Easter Sunday. It's not a traditional parade: attendees parade up and down scenic Monument Avenue between Allen and Davis Avenues. Monument Avenue, named to the National Register of Historic Landmarks, will be closed to all but pedestrian traffic between Allen and Davis (or the Robert E Lee and Jefferson Davis monuments) on Easter Sunday, April 4, 2010 between 1 PM and 5 PM. The celebration includes music, arts, crafts, children's activities, food, a petting zoo – and most importantly pet and people watching. Everyone will be dressed in their finest or most outlandish regalia! Highlights include a Pet Bonnet Showcase/Contest at 3 PM and a People Bonnet Showcase/Contest at 4 PM. Don't miss it!
Historic Garden Week in Virginia, presented by the Garden Club of Virginia, is scheduled for April 17 through 25, 2010. The Garden Club of Virginia has been holding this event for 77 years and devoting the proceeds to preserving Virginia's heritage properties and gardens. Though featuring homes and gardens all over the Commonwealth of Virginia, the Windsor Farms neighborhood of Richmond area will be featured on Tuesday April 20, Church Hill, on Wednesday April 21, and West Avenue, just two blocks away from our bed and breakfast, will open homes and gardens to visitors on Thursday April 22. In addition special evening activities are planned Thursday at Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens.
Make your plans now to take advantage of these very Virginia events! Pick your guest room at our historic Fan District bed and breakfast and make it a Spring Fling! to remember on Easter weekend or during Garden Week or – even both. We'd love to share the best of central Virginia with you.

"Griff" may have lost his battle with pancreatic cancer, but Blair County hasn't given up the fight.
On July 26, 27 and 28, the Greg and Cathy Griffith Foundation will host the fourth annual "Griff's Run & Gun for a Cure." Held in memory of Hollidaysburg resident Greg Griffith, who died of pancreatic cancer in 2011, the weekend will include a community awareness dinner and silent auction at The Casino at Lakemont Park, a 3-on-3 basketball tournament at the Hollidaysburg YMCA and a "Tee Off for a Cure" golf event at Sinking Valley Country Club.
"We can achieve if we believe," Cathy Griffith said. "That's what I tell everybody, that's kind of our mantra. What is so special about this event is that we're a group of 500 [volunteers and supporters] who believe that this mountain of pancreatic cancer can be moved."
Article Photos
Friday night's community awareness dinner features three prestigious speakers: Dr. A. James Moser, executive director of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center's Institute of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery in Boston; Dr. Michael Barry, director of pastoral care from the Cancer Treatment Center of America the Eastern Regional Medical Center in Philadelphia; and Erin Willett, season two semi-finalist on NBC's "The Voice" and an Ambassador of Hope for the Pancreatic Action Network.
The Griffith Family Foundation fundraising dollars benefits the research project of Dr. Moser and the Alliance of Families Fighting Pancreatic Cancer, a support group founded by Moser.
Moser is a well-known name in the world of pancreatic cancer research. He and his partner, Dr. Herbert Zeh, treated professor Randy Pausch, famous for "The Last Lecture" before his death in 2008. He worked with hospitals across the nation, including the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, before moving to Beth Israel Deaconess, an affiliate of the Harvard Medical School Teaching Hospital. Moser is currently working to open up a multidisciplinary pancreatic surgery center at the hospital.

"It's [Greg's] legacy," Cathy Griffith said. "He provided two beautiful speeches at The Casino, basically asking people to continue the fight. It's a type of disease that the needle hasn't really moved since 120 years ago. ... Greg said to Dr. Moser, 'You know, Doc, I know you can't do much for me, but what can I do for you?' This is Blair County's way to say to Dr. Moser that 'we're still in this with you.'"
Willett is a speaker that Cathy Griffith had been trying to get since she came to prominence on "The Voice" in 2011. During the taping of that season, Willett's father, Chuck, died of pancreatic cancer. Even before his death, Willett and his family were involved with the Pancreatic Action Network.
"My mom had found out about them while my dad was still sick, so that's been the community that I've been a part of," she said in a phone interview from Los Angeles.
Willett, 24, is originally from Gaithersburg, Md., and now lives in Los Angeles working on her music career.
"Right after I got off the show, I wrote and recorded an EP that I put on iTunes," she said. "I started writing and I've kind of fallen in love with it. I'm kind of finding a passion for writing."
Cathy Griffith got a hold of Willett through a random meeting with her uncle, local DJ Steve Willett.
"Out of all the world, Erin Willett's uncle lives in Altoona," she said. "I was helping out at a YMCA [event] and I asked him if I could hire him. He said he'd donate his services because his brother died of pancreatic [cancer]. I looked at his name and said, "Just a shot in the dark, I watched 'The Voice,' are you related to Erin Willett?' And he said, 'That's my niece.'
Steve Willett put the Griffith Foundation in touch with Erin, and Griff's Run & Gun for a Cure intrigued her from the start.
"I had heard about it last year, but I wasn't able to do it," she said. "I've always wanted to give back - especially going through what I went through. When you're in that position, you're kind of looking for a support system. It's always nice to come back and meet people from the same kind of community. It's kind of unfortunate things bringing people together."
During the Griff's Community Awareness Dinner, Willett will perform "Amazing Grace," "Don't Stop Believing" and one of her original songs.
"I'm excited to perform and it's nice to share that and use my talents to kind of lift everyone's spirit," she said.

Legally Speaking- Rumble Over Rumble Strips
By Bob Mionske
Posted Jan. 9, 2003
You may have followed the controversy in Colorado over center-line milling for rumble strips in mountain canyons. Bicycle Colorado is also working on this issue. My question concerns the best legal approach for local clubs and riders to take in dealing with authorities here in Jefferson County who thus far have refused hearings or public comment on this issue.
I believe the decisions reached by the commissioners may be "ultra vires" (outside of the scope of their proper authority -Ed.) to their positions. Are there legal procedures that local clubs could pursue? Would we have standing to pursue an action? Would a lawyer with municipal law expertise be required?
Bernie Greenberg(President of the Highlands Ranch Cycling Club(Highlands Ranch, Colorado
Dear Bernie;(
The Jefferson County Commissioners probably did not act ultra vires in awarding the construction contract without a full public hearing. The specific agenda item considered by the Jefferson County Commissioners at their December 17 meeting was the awarding of a construction contract for the work. The total amount of that contract was approximately $80,000.
That sort of decision is essentially a magisterial one, not involving an explicit policy consideration. Section 24-92-102(8) of the Colorado Revised Statutes (2002) requires competitive bidding only for public projects over $150,000. Thus, the only factors the County Commissioners were considering were the competence and honesty of the contractor, and these apparently were never in dispute.
This is the reason the Commissioners cut off debate. To them, it appeared as if a public group tried to say "that bridge isn't strong enough" or "we think red centerline stripes work better than yellow." These are technocratic, not democratic decisions. Once the professional engineers at CDOT said "we advocate this is a valid and useful safety measure" the policy aspect of the decision was over.
Bicycle Colorado may seek an injunction to try to stop the project, (see below) but the lack of a formal public hearing by JeffCo. is not a strong basis for complaint.
This does not mean that all hope is lost, however. A background explanation is in order. The federal DOT gives money to state DOT's for transportation construction and maintenance. One such program (one of the smaller ones) is the Hazard Elimination Program (HEP). The feds dictate very involved planning and public information procedures for these funds. CDOT, for example, must annually issue a 10-year work program specifying all major roadway construction or reconstruction projects for each of the 10 years. However, the HEP is so small that it almost certainly appears in the work program as simply a box labeled "hazard reduction program" with an annual allocation. Here, the CDOT staff, having received a request from Jefferson County and an offer of local matching funds, has administratively decided to award funds for this project.
However, as you correctly point out, this small-scale "engineering" decision has significant policy implications. Centerline rumble strips are intended to prevent "lane displacement" or "lane drift" by motor vehicles on mountain roads. However, the safe vehicular use of a bicycle depends on lane displacement, especially on narrow roads; if the overtaking motor vehicle driver does not shift left, over the centerline, the cyclist could be imperiled. The active discouragement of lane displacement at all times and in all locations effectively amounts to a bicycle-use discouragement policy on mountain roads.
Here, the CDOT staff has made an administrative decision that centerline rumble strips are a safety enhancing device that qualifies for the use of HEP funds. They base this decision on their August 2001 report. ("Centerline Rumble Strips" CDOT-DTD-R-2001-8)This report does not consider the deleterious effect of such treatments on bicycle use.
Thus, my concrete recommendation is to ignore the Jefferson County Commission and go to the source of funds, CDOT. Notify CDOT that the use of HEP funds for centerline rumble strips is inappropriate because 1) The application is experimental; 2) While the treatment may (or may not) reduce motor vehicle accidents, they pose a threat to bicyclists; 3) CDOT has failed to consider these impacts in their evaluation of previously installed projects. At the same time, Bicycle Colorado should forward a similar message to the Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordinator's office at the United States DOT to attempt to get an administrative determination on the federal level that such treatments are not eligible for HEP funds for the reasons described above.
Finally, the Colorado Administrative Procedures Act could be applied. Colo. Rev. Stat. 24-4-101.5 states that "an agency should not regulate or restrict the freedom of any person to conduct his affairs, use his property or deal with others on mutually agreeable terms unless it finds, AFTER A FULL CONSIDERATION OF THE AGENCY ACTION, that the action would benefit the public interest . . . " In this case, argue that the CDOT staff decision to approve HEP funds for centerline rumble strip projects 1) Was not made on the basis of full consideration, and 2) Was an invalid exercise in rule making because the staff made policy without a legislative delegation of authority. (The "policy" could be explicit [it is OK to use HEP funds for centerline rumble strips] or implicit [it is OK to promote motor vehicle safety on mountain roads at the expense of cyclists' safety]).This would be a very effective argument if a state bicycle plan or similar document could be located that states something to the effect that "all decisions of the DOT shall consider impacts on bicyclists and pedestrians in making all operational decisions" or "the safety of cyclists shall not be compromised." In essence, the argument states "only the legislature can make policy, your 'operational' decision makes policy, you have no legislative authority to make this policy, and you have no history of full consideration to support your policymaking."
In summary:(1) Going after the Jefferson County Commission is probably a lost cause.(2) Go after the source of the money, CDOT.(3) Try to get the award of the money from CDOT to Jeff.Co. invalidated.(4) Argue that CDOT has gone beyond operations and into policymaking, in violation of previous policy declarations.(5) Seek the advice of counsel familiar with Colo. Administrative law.(6) Finally, send written notice to CDOT and Jeff.Co that they are creating a dangerous condition for use as grounds in future tort litigation should a cyclist become injured and the injury be traced to the new rumble strips.
Good Luck,(
