Meeester and I try to have one evening a week where we do something all together with the kids that doesn't involve computer games or telly ("Just one, Misssy?" "Yes just one, I'm not Mary flippin' Poppins here!")
The telly is switched off and each week it is someone's turn to choose what we do. Last night it was Junior Misssy's turn and she simply chose for us to go to the school playground with bikes and balls and stuff. Nice choice Junior, nice cheap choice. I like that.
Indy likes basketball, so at one point Meeester and I are playing against Indy and his mate, Socks ( that is to be his Misssives moniker, as he once wore five pairs of socks to come across to our house from his as he couldn't find his shoes). After we sorted out vandalised bent hoops by means of Misssy getting a "shouldery*" from Meeester and displaying her superhuman iron-straightening prowess, we had a blast of a game.
Meanwhile, outside the basketball court, there was football practice going on with boys around the same age as Indy and Socks. At one lull in the pathetically competitive efforts of Meeester and Misssy to whip Socks and Indy's asses in our game, we heard one footballing boy shout to his mate, "If you can't get that goal then that makes you gay, right?!"
Sheesh! What? Whaaaat????
Trouble is that kind of abusive (not to mention homophobic) nonsense isn't just for ten year olds. Not where football's concerned.
Meeester plays football every week after work with nine or ten other professional and decent men who should really know better.
Each week he comes back with injuries to both pride and ligaments. Each week, arguments have erupted, spirits have been crushed and names have been called. Each week someone takes the huff and quits. Abuse is casually whirled around the hall like they are actually in a prison yard rather than a polite local community centre.
Years ago, my Uncle also used to play football with his workmates but eventually they had to disband the team as people were starting to get quite badly injured and their work-based friendships were beginning to be sorely tested. It was too competitive and had started to turn nasty.
What IS it about football? I mean you don't see bowls players shouting, "Right Robbie, you're a poof if you don't get that lie"
Scrabble players don't heckle someone "Ha! You missed out on that Bingo, ye Donkey!"
Golfers hardly ever casually shout the word "C**T!" at one another as one chips in a jammy shot right onto the green from a bunker.
And then in the professional football sphere, it doesn't get much better. It is de rigeur for footballers to verbally abuse one another on and off the park. You just don't hear it much in big games because they are drowned out by the noise of the spectators hurling abuse and singing sweary made up songs to the tunes of popular chart hits.
One of the things I remember about my childhood in Clydebank was my late Papa taking me and my brother to watch Clydebank play at home. Being a small team with a small crowd, you could hear the players screaming at one another. My Papa was a little dismayed that instead of being all fired up about the game, the only thing me and my brother could talk about on the way home was how the players were constantly swearing and shouting at one another. I can't remember exactly everything that was said, but when I delve deep in my subconscious there is the phrase,
"If you cannae get that penalty, that makes ye a poof, right?"
* Haven't had a shouldery in YEARS. It's my top recommedation of the week- go on, get someone to give you one this weekend. Or at the very least a coalie bag. In fact, invite two mates and have a joust on coalie bags. You'll thank me (from your hospital beds...)

Tonight's Picks
Tommy Boy
Want to see Rob Lowe as a villain? Rent "Wayne's World." Want to see David Spade playing smarmy? Watch "Rules of Engagement." Want to see Chris Farley being funny? Catch some "Saturday Night Live" reruns from the early to mid-1990s. Any one of those is preferable to this lame 1995 comedy starring Farley as a dimwitted underachiever who teams up with an efficient but obnoxious accountant (Spade) to save the family business. When it comes to bringing the laughs, the movie's an underachiever, too.
MLB Baseball
National League playoff contenders go at it today at Turner Field, where Justin Upton and the East-leading Atlanta Braves close out a four-game series against Adrian Gonzalez and the struggling Los Angeles Dodgers. Upton and a solid, youthful rotation have led the way for the Braves in the early going, while a lackluster offense and porous team defense have held the Dodgers back.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
The war between the Autobots and the Decepticons rages anew, with young Sam (Shia LaBeouf) still caught in the middle, in returning director Michael Bay's relentlessly noisy, almost completely incoherent action sequel inspired by the Hasbro toy line. Optimus Prime (voice of Peter Cullen) again leads the assault on Megatron (voice of Hugo Weaving) and other enemies, while Mikaela (Megan Fox) does what she can to help Sam. Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson and John Turturro also return from the original cast.
There's no need to fear; just keep your remote near. This 2007 live-action take on the classic cartoon will break the heart of anyone who knew and loved the original. Jason Lee ("My Name Is Earl") -- who's built up quite a resume voicing former 1960s 'toon icons ("Alvin and the Chipmunks") -- provides the voice of the hound who becomes a superhero after a lab accident gives him powers. Kids who haven't seen the cartoon won't care, but for anyone who has, comparisons are inevitable, and this one is, well, a dog.
The Cleveland Show
When Cleveland receives an unexpected invitation from Freight Train to attend an event together, Dr. Fist thinks that dementia might be behind the older man's newfound friendliness. The kids' busy schedules have Cleveland and Donna feeling overwhelmed in the hourlong season finale, "Crazy Train; Wheel! Of! Family!" Bryan Cranston ("Breaking Bad") provides a guest voice.
The 2013 Billboard Music Awards
Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Prince, Bruno Mars and Miguel are among the artists scheduled to perform at this year's event at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Prince is also receiving the Billboard Icon Award. Tracy Morgan hosts the festivities.
The Simpsons
In the one-hour season finale, Homer, Moe, Lenny and Carl win a $200,000 lottery jackpot, but when Carl absconds to Iceland with all the money, the others follow him there to get it back. After she mistakes a dating site for a baking site, Marge is pursued by a charming fellow (voice of Seth MacFarlane) who shares her taste in television. Lisa Lampanelli also provides a guest voice in "The Saga of Carl; Dangers on a Train."
Call the Midwife
Chummy and PC Noakes (Miranda Hart, Ben Caplan) meet with new challenges as they settle back into life in Poplar. Fred (Cliff Parisi) is in high spirits when his pregnant daughter Dolly (Ella Smith) and her son come to stay with him. Jenny's (Jessica Raine) jubilation comes in the form of a potential love interest. Old buildings are being demolished to make way for new flats, a situation that reaches a crisis point when the convent comes under threat.
River Monsters: Year of Beasts
This new special looks back at Jeremy Wade's best moments of Season 5 so far, including a mission to Chernobyl's nuclear wastelands in search of a giant mutant fish, a trip to Nicaragua to capture a killer torpedo and a quest on American soil in pursuit of a prehistoric underwater vampire.
ACM Presents: Tim McGraw's Superstar Summer Night
Not for country fans only, this special has McGraw performing with and introducing a diverse lineup of artists that includes Nelly, Ne-Yo, Pitbull and John Fogerty. The Band Perry, Keith Urban, Lady Antebellum, Taylor Swift, Jason Aldean, Dierks Bentley and McGraw's wife, Faith Hill, are also in the lineup.
North America
This seven-part natural history series from some of the producers of "Planet Earth" spent three years covering the continent of North America, from the Canadian tundra to the tropical Central American rain forests. It kicks off tonight with "Born to Be Wild," in which a journey across the continent introduces some of its wildest places and an incredible array of wildlife, from mountain goats to sea turtles.
Family Guy
Stewie's time machine malfunctions when he and Brian use it to catch a Bette Midler concert in Las Vegas, creating alternative versions of each of them -- one lucky and one unlucky. The Griffins are invited to join an elite country club, with the expected disastrous results, in the one-hour season finale, "Road to Vegas; No Country Club for Old Men."

A Revolution in Education
Is anyone using SMART Sync?
I installed it on the lab computers with Apple Remote Desktop, as a package, and didn't have an option to configure the student computers a specific way.
When kids came to lab, they could log in, but not log out, until they connected to SMART Sync on each individual student computer. Then I used the Teacher SMART Sync to log them all off at once.
Unfortunately, I didn't plan this well, and was having a sub the next day, and knew it would flip him/her out if kids couldn't log out then next class of students log in. So I un-installed it for now.
What did I do wrong? Do I need to install each copy separately on each student computer instead of using Remote Desktop?
I am working on that. We installed it on one of the student's computers and it refuses to log out of this account. I have to restart this computer every time. Our technician wants to put it together as a package, he says there is an easy solution to this problem. We plan to do it next week. We'll let you know
Ok, here we go. We played with it today. You have to stop the class and log out your students yourself.
There is a shut down button on the top panel on your right. Click on it when your class is done. The window will pop up and you can choose log off instead of shut down. You need to be in a thumbnails view. Our Mac support person is not very happy with the arrangement. Smartsync overruns him and he isn't able to push updates or do anything with our computers. SmartSync never quits. I am sure he'll come up with something though. Smart says that the program is very new (for Mac), PC has more options (as usual), and they are still working on Mac version :( I hope that helps. Let me now if you have any ideas
Thanks. I was afraid of that. I like what the SMART Sync software can do (keeping kids on specific sites, sharing student screens, etc.), but you're right. That is frustrating to not be able to have kids log themselves out. I had to un-install the software temporarily since I had a sub coming to teach for me in the lab.
I guess if I want to use it in the lab, I'll need to type up the directions for every teacher that brings their class, and any sub I would have. Hmmm...definitely not ideal.
One workaround to this issue is to configure students via the Student Configuration Tool to allow the student to "Exit the Student program". By checking this option, the student can logout/restart/shutdown the computer. Downside is that a student could potentially kill the Sync Student process and it won't be restarted.
After you do this, you will have to reboot the machine for the change to take effect.

Flu Season Begins; Shot RecommendedProactive steps can help prevent the illnessANCHORAGE - October 1 is the official start of the flu season, at least in the Lower 48. Here in Alaska the flu may not peak for several weeks or several months but the time to get a flu shot is now. "Wherever they routinely get their vaccines, they should go, because it's here and it is time," said Dr. Michael Cooper with the Alaska Department of Public Health. "We recommend that as soon as the vaccine is available, even if the flu season hasn't started in a community, it's time to get vaccinated." The State Health Department is in charge of distributing the flu vaccine for underinsured children and adults. Right now all the vaccine meant for children has gone out to providers around the state, but the vaccine for underinsured adults should be coming in sometime this week. But many stores and pharmacies already have it. At the Midtown Walgreens, pharmacist Keian Dayani said they've been giving flu shots since July on a walk-in basis. "Most insurance policies cover them and there will be a short questionnaire that they'll fill out," said Dayani. "And upon filling that out we will just go back into the immunization room and give them the flu shot." Doctors say everyone who is six months of age and older should get a shot. One of the rare exceptions are those who have extreme allergies to eggs. They say the shot is safe for those who have mild allergies to eggs. They also say it takes about two weeks for the vaccine to be effective once it's given. |

Post subject: Mirtazapine Withdrawal
My doctor has just recommended that after almost a year and a half worth of me taking different meds it is time for me to go clean. The medication I'm on at the moment is mirtazapine 30mg and I'm dropping down to mirtazapine 15mg on my next prescription. I'm pretty scared as I've been on ADs for so long and that I've heard real horror stories online about people having terrible withdrawal symptoms.
Has anybody been in a similar situation to me? What type of things did you experience upon withdrawal and how long did they last for?

Post subject: Withdrawal symptoms
Several years ago I was on an opioid pain med for a shingles outbreak. The drug left me drowsy, woozy, and stumbling around. I already have bad knees and an unsteady gait, partly from that, and partly from feet that have always turned out a little, so I was afraid that I might have a bad fall due to the med. As soon as I was able to handle the shingles pain on my own, I took myself off the med. I was surprised when I had withdrawal symptoms, as I had only been on the pain med about a week and a half. It caused me to be very emotional for a few days, but it was worth going through the withdrawal period to get off the med, and not be woozy, stumbling, and in danger of a fall. I live alone, so there is no one around to help if something were to happen to me.
Different meds can have different withdrawal symptoms, and each person will react their own way. But just remember, the worst period of withdrawal symptoms are temporary. Once past that they will decline in intensity, and usually go completely away. In some cases there can be some lingering effects, but it will be at a level you can handle. My mother smoked for over 50 years before she had her first heart attack. The docs kept her in the hospital for several extra days after her angioplasty, so they could keep her on strong sedatives through the worst of the withdrawal phase. They sent her home with strong sedatives, but after a few days we had to have her taken off the home ones, as they were endangering her. They made her stagger around all over the place, like a drunken sailor. We were living in a bi-level house at the time with an open stairwell. Her bedroom and the kitchen were upstairs, and she fell down the stairs several times as she passed the stairs in between her bedroom and the kitchen. The last straw for this tranquilizer was when I came into the kitchen and found my mother standing by the lit stove like a zombie, while holding a burning paper towel! Any withdrawals left from the tobacco, plus any from the tranquilizer were worth getting her off that dangerous medication! Due to her long addiction to cigarettes, my mother did continue to have mild cravings/withdrawals for the rest of her life, but she was able to handle them by chewing spearmint gum.
Generally the worst phase of any withdrawal period is in the first few days or week or two. After that people can handle it better. If you do need help in the first few days, have the doc prescribe a mild, non addictive tranquilizer. My younger brother gave my mother a half dose of a valium once after we had to put the dog we had at the time to sleep. He had inoperable, terminal cancer. My mother was very fond of him--we all were--and she needed the help of one or two half doses to get her through that first day after he died. But my mother only had it once or twice at that time. After a good rest and a day or two, she was better able to handle the sad event.
I wouldn't worry too much about possible withdrawal symptoms, as long as you talk things over with the doc. And if you do need help, just get that mild tranquilizer for a few days.
Here's an odd anecdote. I used to walk that dog three times a day, as we never had a fenced in yard while we owned him. A couple of years after the dog died, we moved a few blocks away to a one story house. Not long after we moved in I had a dream that the dog came to me for a visit and had me take him out for a walk in the new neighborhood. He wanted to see the new area where we were living, so he would know where we were, and so he could still be "connected" to us. I know it's silly, but it made me feel better when I woke up.

thanks for your reply. I enjoyed reading about the trials and tribulations of people you know coming off meds and I have a lot of sympathy for them. I certainly hope my path to being clean of ADs is a much easier one. I'll let you know how I get on. I certainly hope I can be completely withdrawal symptom free after a couple of months. I'd hate to have a few of those lingering effects you mentioned. And spending time with a dog sounds like a good idea! My dog always cheers me up when I feel a bit blue.
Thanks for the reply anyway man it's much appreciated

Agreed with previous answer that everyone is different, so you shouldn't worry about what I'm going to say TOO much. I had real problems withdrawing from mirtazapine 30mg to 15mg (2 weeks-not so bad) and then down to 0 (really bad). The main problem with me was insomnia, which Ive always suffered from and which I can live with normally, but, in combination with mirtazapine withdrawal, I regularly lost control of my moods, thoughts and feelings. I would get REALLY angry, lashing out in verbal tirades both at home and at work. I felt very low, and kept thinking about what it would be like to be dead (not active suicidal rumination, more passive I guess). None of which is like me at all. Lots of other symptoms, much worse than id ever felt BEFORE being prescribed the meds (which i never wanted). it lasted about 4 weeks, and everything was ok again. It was my choice to stop the meds, and id only been on them 3 months. My advice would be to take it more slowly than I did and tail off more gradually, and, if you trust them enough, tell the people you are closest to what is happening and ask them for a bit of understanding that you might not be the person they recognise for a short time....

thanks dude that's really helpful. I've just quit my job so as of now I have absolutely no commitments so I think now is the best time to knock the pills out my system. I seriously hope this isn't going to be horrible but I have the feeling it's going to be pretty bad considering how long I've been on ADs.
Thanks again.

I came off mirtazapine about 6 weeks ago from 15mg to 0, having gone down from 30 to 15 about 6 weeks before. I had trouble sleeping for a few nights and a lack of energy for a couple of weeks. I'm still on 2 mood stabilisers, Seroquel and Lamictal though so not completely without meds which no doubt makes a difference. Bonuses are I feel significantly less sedated during the day and I don't want to mainline sugar constantly any more (I've lost 7lb so far, mirtazapine is possibly the worst AD for weight gain which was a big issue for me).
There are a lot of horror stories about coming off meds and it can be difficult but some people have little or no withdrawal symptoms so don't panic. You can break mirtazapine tablets in half so if you're struggling you could try going down from 15 to 7.5 and then off completely. If it's really bad then it might be possible to take Prozac (fluoxetine) for a couple of days to help - it has a very long half-life so it doesn't disappear from your system so suddenly which can help ease the symptoms of AD withdrawal. Effexor (venlafaxine) has a reputation for having the worst withdrawal partly because it has an extremely short half life (4-6 hours, mirtazapine is 20-40 hours and fluoxetine is 2-3 days short term, up to a week long term).
Generally any withdrawal symptoms should decrease dramatically or disappear entirely after a week or two. If you're still having depression-like symptoms rather than physical symptoms after a month or so then it's possible your depression has returned and you might want to reconsider coming off meds. As I understand 18 months to 2 years is considered an appropriate time to be on meds after a severe episode, if you've had repeated episodes you may need to be on meds for longer and for some people being on meds long term or for life is the best course of action. I have bipolar disorder rather than straight depression so the likelihood of me ever being able to be completely off meds is very slim. My partner had 4 episodes of psychotic depression by her early 20s so she's not going to be med-free any time soon, if ever - it's whether the benefits outweigh the costs and for both of us being unmedicated would be simply too dangerous. What I'm trying to say is don't take it as a value judgement if you find out you may need to be on meds a while longer but hopefully everything will be fine.

Armed with duct tape, cardboard and wild imaginations, the girls set out to construct a boat that will float under the weight of one person and win a boat race. (How cool is that?) Check out theses pictures during construction this morning:
If you were
stuck in a monsoon do you think you would have what it takes to construct a boat to keep you afloat?
The girls will finish their boats this afternoon and then race them across the pool on Thursday at 3:00pm. Of course I will post pictures of the final products and the boat race on Thursday!

For All Points-Of-The-View.
Are you willing to consider that "'The Truth" will not set you free'?
Are wiilling to consider that reliance on "The Truth" and the belief in "The Truth" will not set you free.
Consider that untill we are willing to give up "The Truth", the current conditions will remain.
Freedom begins with the willingness to give up "The Truth".
And, this is not "The Truth".
"The Truth" is the ultimate prison.
And, this is not "The Truth".
~Kwasi Akyeampong.
Peace and Blessings Brother I'am totally lost on this please break it down for me so I may understand.
Thanks for be willing to engage in the question.
My opinion is that's what's valuable is not me breaking it down so you "may understand" but that you go beyond what's unstandable or what you unstand.
A Place To Begin this INQUIRY is to ask yourself "Am I willing to examine and even give up my strongly held beliefs and what I already know and "understand" as The Truth?"
Notice is the barriers that are in the way of you even consider questioning and even consider giving up your strongly held beliefs and that which you already know and "understand" as "The Truth."
Yes sir if what I believe is truth and it turns out to be a lie then I'm living lies and teaching my children lies. I am willing to examine and give up my beliefs if they are not true. I think that is part of our problem as a people we live lies. And we just lie for no reason. "I'm ready!
Consider that A Lie is someone's Truth that you do not believe.
Consider even further that what we call The Truth is made up.
Consider that there is NO TRUTH.
Are you willing to consider that?
Consider that The Truth and Truth is an interpretation of .....
When I was in High school I asked one of my friends "How do we know the grass is green? How do we really know that this color is blue? How do we know for sure that the word green is actually spelled the way they have taught us?" So this was my thinking then and now. Yes like there is no spoon
This could be a very interesting discussion. Truth is perhaps only an idea that can be assembled by real facts as is thought to be attempted in Law Courts. However as I said to a Lawyer once, you are trained to contrive the truth.....
Truth is coupled for that reason with Trust. We have to have trust that the truth etc etc. It seemed to me that during the last century mankind's innocent sense of trust was completely wrecked by WW1 and 2. This I heard also was the sad reality in Germany when all Germans found out what had been done in their name. ie. the most cruel and outrageous breakdowns in trust are effected by national governments. Although ofcourse the preliminary trust is mostly broken in the domestic home, in school and the workplace.
Can we use the word truth? Can it be assembled within a shelter of facts - facts that are similar to factory productions (no pun intended) in that they are identifiable. The objects in a truthful statement can be confirmed by all - but each of our opinions of them may be as different as they say "chalk from cheese". Truth however has mainly been the subject of moral judgements and therein it fails to be true...?
They thought the earth was flat but that was a lie. The earth is round that is a proven truth. Truth must be proven or can be proven a lie can always be shown to be just that a lie.
However truth as it is used ranges over states of mind, actions, past events, and feelings. How can I prove that I feel joy or sorrow? As a poet it purports that a strong and beautiful poem or line can approximate the truth. Often there is insufficient evidence to say that "explanation" might be the truth and there we return to the Law Court practices again looking for witness. Can we abandon the term "truth" because it is nearly useless except in a very limited sense of measurement and matter?
Listen to Dragnet - Lt. Friday. Do not give me The Truth - "Just the facts, ma'am."
There is no truth - The Truth is relative to one's point-of-view.
The Truth is imposed by the weight and force of Agreements.
There is no truth out there anywhere to see, feel and touch.
The Truth exist and The Truth exists only in language.
The Truth is a point-of-view imposed by the weight and the force of Agreement.
It was once The Truth that the earth was flat - and that was The truth.
"Aton is the one True God" - and that was The Truth.
Black people were 3/5 of a human being - and that was The Truth.
My god is the one True God and that is The Truth.
And we continue to kill one another to impose the supremacy of our TRUTH.
If you believe in my TRUTH you will be free.
The Truth is a jail.
It is the ultimate barrier to freedom.
When we give up "The Truth" and get that its only a point-of-view and get the fact: "Just the fact, ma'am". - we really be free.
Justice is perverted by weight of The Truth.
The Facts have freed many innocent men who were jailed by the weight and the force of The Truth.
Impiric science is based only on Reality (Distance, Time and Form) not The Truth, beliefs and myths.
The Truth will never set you free.
When give the option of accepting the slave masters Truth Nat Turner said, "I'd rather die an free man than live a slave."
"The Truth" will not set you free!

Historic Views of the Holy Land: Bible Places-Views That Have VanishedSee packages below which include this module.
Category: Photo Collections, History | Install Options: Download only
In the early 1960s, David Bivin went to study at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Armed with a Yashica-D medium-format camera, Bivin traveled the land of Israel and the surrounding regions taking photographs of biblical sites, archaeological excavations, and everyday scenes. Today these photographs provide a window on a land that has changed radically, as a result of the construction of cities, the Six Day War, and the unification of Jerusalem. This Accordance module includes more than 700 photographs of Israel, the West Bank, Jordan, Greece, and Rome from the 1960s. The photos are enhanced by the careful documentation of the place and date, and other notes - all fully searchable. See photographer's list of all images.

Ever since the Connecticut school schooting, guns have been a hot topic for discussion and debate. However, guns aren't just being talked about; they're being hunted. Scores of people nationwide immediately rushed to find firearms after the tragic shooting, some purchasing a gun out of a need for protection and others out of a fear that guns will disappear if current laws are changed.
This mad rush to purchase firearms also occurred here in Sampson County, and local gun sellers and gun owners are weighing in on what they think about the much contested gun situation.
"I think everyone panicked a little," said Mike Ammons, owner of Mike's Hunting Shop in Clinton. "I've never seen a rush quite like this one after a big shooting. I think this one's unique, and people have been more responsive because it was children who were targeted.The magnitude of it was huge, and there's been so much in the news about it. Plus, whenever the president speaks about gun laws, people tend to get a little nervous."
Locals' proactive search for firearms following the Connecticut tragedy has made Mike's at popular place in the past few months. "Sales have increased dramatically. They've probably quadrupled in the past couple of months," reported Ammons, who noted it's not because of the usual Christmas purchases.
Ammons has noticed that his customers have been on a mission, specific in their purchasing. "Assault rifles, also called "black guns," like the AR 15, were the first to go. The ones we had in stock were gone within three days (of the Connecticut school shooting)."
Ammons' stock of black guns and their ammunition continues to remain dry. "We don't have them and even the dealers don't. Within 24 hours of the Connecticut school shooting, gun dealers also panicked. When you couple that with the high demand, you just can't get assault rifles now," explained Ammons.
"If you do find a black gun, because of the high demand, you'll probably have to pay double. Prices have just shot up over the past two to three weeks," said Ammons, adding that "I'm not laying away any guns right now; you have to pay cash."
While the Connecticut shooting is most likely the driving force behind the high demand for guns, Ammons believes that local crime has also added to the rush. "We've had quite a few home invasions recently around here, so I think that has also made locals concerned."
The combined concern over national and local crimes have caused "high capacity handguns to go fast right now," said Ammons. "Recently, our sales have been 60 percent handguns and 40 percent long guns which is the opposite of what you would expect since it's hunting season."
"Basically though, anything that holds over 10 rounds, that's what people really want to buy right now," noted Ammons.
Locals aren't just wanting to own a gun; they also want to know how to use one properly and to be able to carry it on their person. "From October throught November, we issued over 350 concealed weapon permits," reported Sgt. Robbie Carter with the Sampson County Sheriff's Office.
Ammons teaches the class required to get a concealed weapon permit and recently he has had increased interest. "I usually teach the class once a month, but for January, I've already got five dates scheduled and the classes are full," said Ammons, mentioning that he likes to keep his classes small, averaging around ten students. "I'll probably be teaching classes every Saturday and Sunday in January and right on into February."
The local gun club in Clinton, Coharie Shooting League, is glad that so many are going about getting a gun responsibly. For the gun club, safety and responsibilty are the most important aspects of gun ownership. "I think the biggest components concerning guns and gun laws is background checks and teaching safety," said Mac Herring, president of Coharie Shooting League. "Here at the gun club, we absolutely promote safety and are constantly on guard for unsafe activity.We enjoy teaching people about safe and responsible gun use."
With the presence of a local gun club in the community, the high number of concealed weapon permits being issued, and the way his sales keep on rising, one would think Ammons wouldn't be worried about business. However, he is looking ahead and sees reasons to be concerned. "Business has been good but I am worried about the future. Our inventory has been depleted and restocking is an issue."
When asked if he's concerned about the possbile changes to current gun laws, Ammons is cautiously optimistic. "I think there's a lot of gossip out there right now and people tend to assume a lot too. I think, like a lot of people do, that it's not so much about gun laws but about some people's mental state. To me, I think the gun laws are in place that need to be."
No matter what happens, Ammons knows that all he really has any control or say over is his business and how he chooses to run it. "I feel the gun laws and the record keeping I do is suffient. Locally, I'm not really concerned, especially as far as the guns I sell go, because I know about every gun that leaves here," said Ammons.
"People have to show me a permit, and when it comes to the permits, I rely on the sheriff's department to do their job," explained Ammons. "I also run a check in NICS," which stands for the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. This resource helps a gun seller determine someone's eligibility to buy a gun.
Ammons also uses observation and good old common sense. "I have actually denied sales based on how I heard some people talking. If I didn't feel comfortable with the way they were talking about guns, I chose not to sell to them," said Ammons. "I just know that I sell guns right."
No one knows where the debate over guns and gun laws might lead, but here in Sampson County, locals are making sure that they are armed and they are taking the steps to do it properly, being responsible gun sellers and owners. They, in a sense, have their safety on.

Interview: Vince Sheehy and the Future of the Auto Industry
He recently spoke with Patch from Sheehy Ford in Springfield.
Sure, there are trains and buses, but there's a reason why the DC metro area is notorious for intimidating traffic — it's simply because cars are a vital necessity. Vince Sheehy IV, owner of Sheehy Auto Stores, recently sat down with Patch and discussed his business as well as the changing face of the car industry. Sheehy Autos counts 19 locations and two dozen franchises under its business umbrella, and that means either you or someone you know has given a nod to their soft sell and bought a new or used car. They're the largest seller of Ford automobiles in the Mid-Atlantic, and they also offer such brands as Honda, Lincoln, Subaru, Lexus, Infiniti, Mazda and Hyundai. The Sheehy story begins with Vince I, who emigrated from Ireland to …

STORRS — The University of Connecticut will receive a grant of more than $1 million to help disadvantaged undergraduate students work toward their doctoral degrees.
The university announced that its Center for Academic Programs will receive $220,000 annually for five years under the U.S. Department of Education's McNair Post-baccalaureate Achievement Program. It is named in honor of Ronald E. McNair, one of seven NASA astronauts who was killed in the explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger in January 1986.
UConn says it plans to have its program in place by spring semester. It will serve 25 low-income, first-generation students for enrollment in doctoral programs in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
The national program offers 15 grants providing a total of $3.4 million.

Our 2007 Silver Oak Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon combines elegance and depth in a balanced expression of this classic California vintage. It has a dark ruby color with a garnet edge and a complex nose of sandalwood, cedar, cassis, black cherry, dark chocolate and roasted coffee. On the palate, it is extremely rich and mouth-coating and has a long finish of concentrated fruit and spice with a slight tannic grip. This wine is remarkable in how it continues to evolve in the glass over the course of a meal. It has great maturity of aromas and tannins at moderate alcohol. With proper cellaring, this wine should give drinking pleasure through 2033.
"Bright dark red. Complex, lively aromas of cherry, licorice, chocolate, tobacco leaf and spices. A juicy, spicy midweight with excellent tension and finesse to its youthfully imploded fruit, spice and chocolatey oak flavors. A very successful offering from Silver Oak, finishing with substantial dusty tannins, noteworthy length and a light touch. Aged for a full two years in 100% new American oak, but the oak element is not at all overbearing."

Fang felt the world shifting, and he felt, too, the forces shaping the shift into mountains and undersea valleys. He did what he could to maintain the balance, possibly even pushing too far as he did so.----------It was almost a common occurrence now, but the spectacle always awed the inhabitants of the Place between Places. The large portal slowly opened, but neither ocean spray nor blood came through. This time, it was bones. A heap of them collapsed onto the floor, seemingly inert. It was only much later that a human child carrying dice made from sheep knucklebones stumbled and fell against the heap and by doing so discovered the trick to using the new portal.----------Hammu sat for a long time, hoping to hear from the Lord of Life. After an age, it became apparent that no reply was forthcoming, and so he sighed to himself and set about his work alone. Too many of the troubles in the world were the results of the experiments of other gods, but he would set right some wrongs with his own "experiment". Alone, he wandered the Grey Wastes, seeking the undead husks of great warriors. He studied them, and then went into the Farscape in search of their souls. These he gathered to himself and brought them to the Place Between Places. Tucked away beyond a fold of the plane, he conferred with Rabi at length as to how best to outfit souls with less... fragile bodies.They settled on metal. Armor was one thing, but it had to be taken on and off- Rabi argued it was better to have a body completely of metal (thumping Hammu's armor shell as if to make his point). They forged them in the great lava lakes in the middle Underdark and imbued them with the essence of the storm that Mara had unleashed on Beacon so long ago. Hammu taught them Law, and sent them into the world to seek out injustice and imbalance and destroy them. ----------He woke near a lake of fire. He learned in marble halls. He practiced against the best warriors of the land, and he debated with its foremost scholars. He matched himself against the best, and judged himself worthy to separate knowledge from foolishness, the just from the unjust and the good from the evil. He went in search of new challenges. Eventually, The Judge came to Terena.+1PP (The Zenith) Create Artifact (lesser): A portal forms, linking the Place Between Places to the East coast of the Old Continent near Skypeak, Terena and the Grey Wastes.+1PP (Fang the Delver) Mold Land (lesser): The Polar Opening enlarges slightly, creating more room for expansion in the core.4PP Shape Populace (Greater): Maruts+1PP (The Code) Guide Populace: Maruts worship Hammu1PP Guide Populace: Maruts join the Place Between Places, making frequent raiding ventures into the Grey Wastes through the portal.
The Judge is a Marut Prosecutor (MM2). He's added to Terena as fluff for campaign usage if desired.
Chastelli finally appeared after a long moment, looking at Enoch. She had changed greatly since last he had seen hear, holding now an appearance of a mature, but still young women "It's going well. Very well indeed. Though I suppose you don't recognize me. I find they listen more when I wear an older form."
Gorion slipped through the passages, wandering blindly. He had been having little luck with the Ice Giants when he felt the passage of power into this place, and followed it on a whim only to become lost in the passageways. Ripping another of the Losalfar that passed before him into shreds, he stepped into another room, peering through the darkness.
Startled, he noticed the goddess sleeping silent. He sent a silent trickle of power to awaken her as he went to his knees.
Veros glanced out of the fortress. "I must go, AzorChapien. I wish you luck in your future endeavors. Though, you may want to deal with the meddling exarch that is causing trouble in your lands."
As he lifted into the air, he froze, seeing through the mists of time with the Temporal Vortex. He had long forgotten that he had placed it there, and it's coming alive was a surprise,b but more so was what it revealed to him. He closed his eyes to the future and considered it. Why would Vymrl strike him down?
Determined to get to the bottom of it, he made his way to the Imperium, certain that Vymrl would notice him there. As he moved, he reached into his pocket, and frowned again. Pulling the stone out, he looked at it. Remembering. The Stone of Revery. Continuing his hunt for Vymrl, he held the stone, wondering what had ever become of Ythrexle. He certainyl did wish to encoutner him again, and repay him for that timely rescue.
He lifted the stone, handing it to the couatl. "Alocasia, seek your master. I have not heard a whisper of him in along time. When you find him, ask if he would come to me."
Drevan slipped though Terena. Is was no long his land, under his heel, but there was still much to do here.

Enoch laughed.
"My lady, I do not think I could ever forget you. May I compliment you on your new form? I was wondering if you had revealed the portal to Nixis' Library to the Loremasters yet. I have an idea to how you might be able to further explore the world... but it requires that you speak with the society that operates within the Library."
Nixis looked at his new creations, then winced as the window outside burst into sudden brightness. Floating up to it, he looked out to see a pillar of fire reaching up to the heavens burning to the southwest.
"Azor'Chapien... it would appear you have a slight problem. Get up here."
She giggled a bit, then shook her head. "No, the old men want to debate it and argue for hours on end on whether it's worh the risk."
She walked to the window. "I found a way out. But I'd still like to hear your suggestion."
If Enoch could have rolled his eyes, he would have. As it was, he shuffled his pages back and forth, making a rippling sound.
"Those blowhards. They would argue about whether the sun would rise tomorrow if they could. I have explained somewhat of how the Library works to you. Each member of the Library that wishes to enter from a location that is not where a permanant portal has been established uses a special token that is connected to the essence of the library itself. My idea is to introduce you to them, and connect the tokens to you much like the Loremaster enclaves are connected to you. Then, you would be able to go anywhere one of the tokens went.
What do you think?"
For so long she had slumbered, left to her dreams while the sun rose and fell, while the moons danced the twilit waltz. Ages had passed as she slept, kept distant from the world, cocooned in dreams and warm thought. Much had transpired beyond the gaze of her closed eyes, much had changed. Yes, the world was different now, filled with different people who did different things in different places. All this happened without her notice for her only concern was the world beyond waking. Something, however, had changed that had penetrated this cocoon of dream, and reached her divine mind. Someone had dared to enter her home, her private sanctuary, as she slept unknowing, and take her most prized possession, the first thing she had ever owned. They had dared to take this from her. This was too much, far too much. Thoughts, angry thought collected in her mind. They lifted her up through the fog of sleep, and presented to her the bright, waking world. And as she woke, she had but a single thought on her mind. I have a god to kill.
When her eyes flicked open, her first sight was of a smooth, blank expanse of green. She rose, fluidly and smoothly to her feet and came to stand upon her bed. Smooth, silken sheets flowed off her form like water. Before her, kneeling upon the ground, was a creature she had never seen before, but knew instantly it's identity, for it was everything she stood for. Her gaze shifted upwards, and came to rest upon the mirror directly opposite. She smiled as she gazed upon her perfect form, the curves of her hips, the way her silken shift rested upon her body, and how her dark hair tumbled about her shoulders so carelessly, yet with such elegance. She looked back down at the kneeling creature.
"You must be Gorion," said the Empress, smiling as she offered her hand for him to take, "We are going to have a lot of fun together."
He helped her down from the bed, and she moved over to the window. With a delicate gesture, she parted the curtains to reveal the world below. Her lips parted once more in a smile as she beheld the beauty below her, and, more specifically, the south.
"A lot of fun..."
Ythrexle had long since left his mortals to their own devices, their cities cumbled to dust long ago. Lately he had become increasingly drawn to the Great Dream that he had left so long ago. "I do not care for these dreamers any longer. How I wish for the days of old where I... No. When we were one with the dream. How I long to return there..."
Stealthily, Alocasia slithered up to his perch atop the grand spire. "Masster. Veross your brother requiress your asssisstance. He wisshess to sspeak with you once more."
Ythrexle felt his stoic soul stir a bit when his modest servant mentioned that name.
"Veros... Surely if he's contacting me it must be important. Come Alocasia." and with a simple sweeping movement the dream-god scooped up his couatl servant and made for Veros' position according to her directions.
Gorion willing helped her down. Though he knew his creator was not she, within her he rcould feel some of the many things he most valued. He liked his monstrous form, the intimidating presence it conveyed, but for the first time in many ages, he chose to discard it, instead adopting one more similar to her own, so that he would provide less of a contrast in her presence and not appear confrontational.
"That was what I had hoped when I awoke you." he said, eyeing her. "I'm sure you are aware who created me. I can't help but wonder, where" he whispered, "he recieved his inspiration."
She grinned at the book. "Sounds like a wonderful plan."

She uses the stolen energy, and the small flame on the sand erupts into a fury of violet energy, that seems to expand rapidly towards the main town. All of a sudden, the energy roars upward into a spiraling pillar- towards the Skyway River. Corelloth appears from the roaring energy. "Let this be a lesson to both of you- if you tend to try and ruin my plans, I shall have both of your heads! Mark my words!" And with that, she disappears in a ball of violet flame.

"Let this be a lesson to both of you- if you tend to try and ruin my plans, I shall have both of your heads! Mark my words!" And with that, she disappears in a ball of violet flame.
A tendril of purple flame threaded its way along the Skyway River, and curled into the space of the Place Between Places. Hammu stared at it, watching as the flame flickered through the air. He could sense that great power lay at its source- furthermore, he could sense that something had upset the Balance once again. "Corelloth. She's back, and once again she threatens my creation! How many times has she threatened Beacon, and now she intrudes into my own sanctuary?! Enough of this!"
Hammu turned towards the Courts. There was something there... something that might help in this situation. A breeze flowed through the great doors of the Courts, and dust lifted from the large skeletons within. Some form of insect lifted its head out of the damaged ribcage of one bony heap, and the skeletons creaked to their feet. With a motion of his hand, Hammu beckoned them to his side, took the Hammer of Law in hand, and then he opened The Zenith and stepped through into Azora.
Hammu paid the distraught dragons no heed, but bent immediately to the scent of Corelloth. "She's got no place to hide.. she can't have gone far. I'll just follow her disarderly trail until I find her!" Some time later, Hammu cornered Corelloth in her lonely hideaway. He motioned the skeletons forward "These creations are... distasteful, but they are nothing if not tools of Balance. As they Balanced Yoglith, so they will Balance you, Corelloth."
Swarms of Pyreflies were evident now, crawling from the cavities of the skeletons. They flared bright in the dim light, and buzzed hungrily as they closed in on Corelloth. It was over quickly. As the skeletons slumped, their work complete for now, Hammu knelt beside the corpse that now flickered with a slowly burning purple fire and retrieved a Pyrefly. He sent the insect on its way to Veros with a message.
"Lord of Knowledge. I've something that belongs to you, in a way, and something that you should see. "
Hensen moved away from the Eye of the Pantheon, its visions have engulfed his mind for too long. The world was changing around the Hydra god, old beings, who was walking creation long time before himself, have awakened again. New potential coming from ancient things, impressive.
It felt a turbulance in the palace of Xa'an, Drathor gift to the Bronze Pantheon and to his beloved Empress, while the Master of Creation and Destruction was still sleaping she has awakened from her slumber.
"Curtesy demands that we pay her a visit" Sibilated the Gree Head, with the passing of time its scale has changed from near emerald to a dark green and his horns looked even more wicked than before. It has also grown stronger than before, as he was not fully enthralled by the visions of the Eye.
"This is a wise tought brother, should not we bring here a gift from us, to celebrate her awakening?"
"Also apparently there is someone else already with her, I think we slept too much if someone can enter the palace of Xa'an without us knowing."
"Shall we go now?"
"I guess we should have her finish the talk with the intruder, I'd be rude to interrupt right?" Concluded the green head.
Meanwhile in Terena a strange being approached Drevan, it looked like an humite girl, but there was something wrong in her.
"Hello, master Drevan" she told him in a gentle and innocent voice "there is someone who might like to talk with you, in a place secure from prying eyes..."

A Travelling Jewish Theatre from Coming from a Great Distance
Excerpted from Writing for Your Life by Deena Metzger
Sandra Doris Greenwade Brown age 18 |
I've never shared a story about my mom, Sandra Doris Greenwade Brown. Tackling her story seemed too personal and close for blog-land. But, (my mom who just turned 70) asked only for each of her 7 children to write a letter about what they had learned from her as her only birthday wish. This is my letter.
Sandy was born in Upperlake and raised in Middletown, California in the hills above Napa, back when it was considered country and backwoods. She was the youngest child born to Farmer age 58 and Helene Frances Halvorsen age 41. Farmer and Helene had separated by the time mom was 5, leaving Sandy and her brothers and sisters on the ranch alone with their mom.
Brother Frank , Sandy and mother Helene in happier days. |
Mom speaks fondly of her tomboy life on the ranch, shooting her first deer, roaming the hills with a stick to guard against rattlesnakes. Her childhood though was cut short with the death of her mother from cancer when she was only 13.
Greenwade family picture not long before Helene's death. |
Sandy moved in with her married brother and his family in Napa. Sandy was shy around others she didn't know, now she was even more quiet, suffering from ulcers and in a dazed fog from her mother's death. Mom never got over the loss of her mother, she still can hardly speak of it today.
Sandy came back to the land of living when she met upperclassman James Brown, his friends called him Sam - but she always called him Jim. Jim was outgoing, funny and poetic. Sandy was reserved, athletic and practical. He was the ying to her yang.
Jim and Sandy at Prom 1958, Napa High School |
These are just a few of the things my mother has taught me:
- To save some time and energy for myself.
- That women can be strong and competitive.
- You can find and create beauty anywhere.
- Giving up or quitting is not an option.
- How to make up funny words to describe uncomfortable things.
- How to make use of what I have.
- How to be polite and have good manners.
- That I am responsible for my own happiness.
- Life is hard and that I can do hard things.
- How to care for children and others.
- That without her I would have been lost.
Sandra Doris Greenwade Brown 70 and still gorgeous! |

Handle with care wrote:This actually touches on what I think has been one of the greatest negative consequences of the Fed's recent actions, that hasn't really been discussed, the end of the markets as a method of price discovery.
The great advantage of free market capitalism is that resources are deployed more efficiently to maximise output. The disadvantage is that you can't decide what that output is going to be.
Socialism's great advantage is that you can decide what the goals of the output should be, less inequality, favoring industry over banking, etc. Basically, socialism allows a degree of public control over the shape of the economy at the expense of having a smaller economy.
What we have now is the worst of both worlds. Because the government has decided that various markets can not be allowed to fall they have destroyed the price discovery mechanisms of these markets, stock markets, housing markets, gold, various commodities etc. Without real pricing signals capital is not being allocated by the economy to produce the maximum economic output.
So we live in an economy that has the inefficiency of socialism but without the redeeming feature of socialism that social goals can be aimed for.
And these price discovery mechanisms are an important part of why the developed economies hold a lead over less developed economies and they took hundred of years to be developed, often through trial and error and chaos and calamity and the current people in charge have thrown that all away. They destroyed the free market system in order to protect people who gambled from having to take their losses.
And the consequences of that are going to last longer and cost more even than the bailouts

I figured my lack of sexual interest was due to getting older. My wife felt I wasn't as interested in her anymore.
A: We have heard from other readers that statins (Crestor, Lipitor, lovastatin, simvastatin, etc.) may sometimes contribute to sexual difficulties, and research confirms this (Drug Safety, July 2009).
More recently, Italian researchers have reported a link between statin therapy and hypogonadism (reduced testosterone). Interfering with the production of cholesterol seems to alter hormone synthesis (Journal of Sexual Medicine, April 2010).
Q: I have read about people having trouble with memory while taking drugs for overactive bladder. Pelvic floor exercises, also known as Kegel exercises, may be a safe and effective therapy for those with bladder problems.
A: Kegel exercises are often recommended for better bladder control (Gerontology, June 2008). To learn which muscles to exercise, try stopping a stream of urine midflow. These muscles should be contracted for three seconds and relaxed for three seconds. Do sets of 10 anywhere from three to a dozen times daily.

Huntington Beach, CA
Overview of Huntington Beach
Huntington Beach receives 11 million visitors every year, and because the city showcases the most consistent waves on the West Coast, across 8.5 miles of uninterrupted beaches, it's easy to see why the city is internationally known as Surf City USA. This Orange County city features numerous opportunities for outdoor recreation, and a trail used for biking, inline skating, jogging and walking along the scenic ocean is stretches throughout 8 miles of the coast.
Because the city is centrally located within Orange County, it's easy to use Huntington Beach apartments for rent as a starting point for exploring famous attractions such as the Long Beach Aquarium, the Orange County Performing Arts Center and Repertory Theater and Disney Resorts. In spite of the influx of tourists, Huntington Beach locals maintain a mellow California beach culture that is a defining characteristic of the Southern California lifestyle.
Living in Huntington Beach, CA
Huntington Beach was incorporated as a Charter City in 1909; since then, it has grown to cover 28 square miles of land and 26 square miles of water. With a population of almost 200,000, it is one of the 20 largest cities in California.
The dry climate of Huntington Beach is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts; however, unpredictable rainfall has contributed to water shortages that are a concern for residents throughout the state. As a result, Huntington Beach city officials are dedicated to conserving water and energy, and have implemented a plan to install 8.5 Megawatts of solar power in less than 5 years.
Huntington Beach Work and Study
Huntington Beach is home to Boeing headquarters, which is the top employer in the city. The clothing manufacturer Quiksilver, known for its line of surfing apparel and beachwear, is the second largest employer with its worldwide corporate headquarters located downtown. More than 650 industrial businesses are located in Huntington Beach, and the diverse economy is one of the key reasons why people relocate to this city.
Residents can take advantage of picturesque campus of Golden West College, a community college that offers an Associate in Arts degree program, a strong university transfer program and technical career training. It is a medium-sized campus with just over 10,000 students, and is situated on a 122-acre campus.
Rentals in Huntington Beach, CA and Cost of Living
A diverse array of residential options are available in Huntington Beach, from unique waterfront homes and private boats, to single-family residences and multi-family rental units. According to city-data.com, the median gross rent in 2009 was $1,466. Because about 60 percent of housing units were built after 1970, many rentals in Huntington Beach feature the convenience of modern appliances. Although the cost of living in Huntington Beach is higher than cities of a similar size in California, residents enjoy a short commute to the beach, and can take advantage of the nine bus routes in Huntington Beach offered by the Orange County Transportation Authority.
Huntington Beach Attractions and Special Events
The landmark Huntington Beach Pier is the longest recreational pier in California, conveniently located in the heart of downtown. It stretches 1,856 into the Pacific Ocean, and has become an iconic coastal symbol frequented by families, fishermen and tourists.
Every summer, Huntington Beach plays host to the U.S. Open of Surfing, a sports festival that attracts 300,000 people over nine days. In the winter, Huntington Beach holds the Annual Cruise of Lights Boat Tour in Huntington Harbor, and kite enthusiasts congregate by the Huntington Beach Pier for the Annual Kite Party in March. The city also is host to the oldest Independence Day Parade in the western United States; in 2004, Huntington Beach celebrated its 100th year anniversary.
