Are you bored? Are you lonely? Are you angry? Are you heart broken? Are you depressed? Are you dealing with a problem? Do you just want to talk about ANYTHING?!!! Just message me. No one has to know or everyone knows. Your choice. Hit me up buttercups. 😘😏✌🎉🍟
Going to start college with a fresh note. I need to focus on school work not someone to make me happy. It's a hard journey but I can do it. #single #TeamSingle #college #life #freshmen #relationships
Hey guys I'm leaving this for a week. There's a lot going on in my life that's just really driving me crazy and getting to me. So for the benefit for my health I'm not using any of my social networks for an entire week! I need to get my mind right before college. I'm afraid if I don't stabilize myself or start to conquer my demons I will do something I'll regret deeply and won't be able to change. Anyway I love you all! I just need space.
See you in a week!!!
Even after all this time, I'm still wishing you were mine… That's the funny thing about love, a person can hurt you so damn badly to a point where you almost feel like hurling yourself in front of a car, but your heart is still filled with them, and you know you'd still do anything to make sure they feel nothing but happiness. I know how bad you're hurting right now, and it kills me not to be able to wrap you up forever and just take you away from all the bullshit.
And this is why I hate being in love. You know they made you feel like shit but they're the only one that can make you feel better.

Calling all biology majors! Calling all chemistry majors! Calling all science majors! I have an important question:
How do you balance a relationship and your school work? I visited the school I will be going to in the fall and oh my god. It was amazing! The classes cover so much of the science perspective and how it will cover the new MCAT but after a while I wondered… How do you manage a love life?! Like I've heard of the three S's: school, social life, and sleep. You can only pick two. I want to pass the MCAT and go off to med school so I pick school and sleep. I know how to pick academics and sleep over friends already buuuuut I kinda have troubles with the opposite sex. I've been getting better not to be distracted by them but I'm not a saint. I get lonely and I have "urges". Lol Actually when I was on my visit one of the head people in the biology department pointed out two attractive male students and said they were both bio students. She also informed me of a student that was doubled majored in Pre-Law and Pre-Med. When I met him he was extremely friendly, outgoing, and it was evident he was a we educated man. He was my ultimate weakness. I realized then, "how am I supposed to turn down my hormones around older social intelligent men?" That's where I'm most concerned. I have to obtain a certain GPA for my scholarship and med school plus pass the MCAT but can I do that with a love life? We're all adults here so I'll say, I want to experiment sexually in college. To be comfortable with my sexuality and my interests. Could I do that and excel in the science field or wait till breaks to have some fun? Could I have a romantic relationship that satisfies my emotional needs or focus on my course work that'll satisfy my career dreams? I just want to help people, save lives, explore science, and become a success.

Dream New Dreams : Reimagining My Life After Loss
A remarkably frank, deeply moving, and inspiring memoir by Jai Pausch, whose husband, Randy, wrote the bestseller The Last Lecture while battling pancreatic cancer.
"Jai is such a giver that she often forgets to take care of herself," Randy Pausch wrote about his wife. "Jai knows that she'll have to give herself permission to make herself a priority."
In Dream New Dreams, Jai Pausch shares her own story for the first time: her emotional journey from wife and mother to full-time caregiver, shuttling between her three young children and Randy's bedside as he sought treatment far from home; and then to widow and single parent, fighting to preserve a sense of stability for her family, while coping with her own grief and the challenges of running a household without a partner.
Jai paints a vivid, honest portrait of a vital, challenging relationship between two strong people who faced a grim prognosis and the self-sacrificing decisions it often required. As she faced life without the husband she called her "magic man," Jai learned to make herself a priority to create a new life of hope and happiness--as she puts it, to "feel a spark of my own magic beginning to flicker."
Dream New Dreams is a powerful story of grief, healing, and newfound independence. With advice artfully woven into an intimate, beautifully written narrative, Jai's story will inspire not only the legions of readers who made The Last Lecture a bestseller, but also those who are embarking on a journey of loss and renewal themselves.

You forget how good [Nieuwendyk] was. You hear the points and stuff and you almost forget until they kind of walk you through his career, and that was really cool for me. I might have felt it a little more than some of the other guys because he was one of my favorites growing up, but that was very cool and I'm honored to have been a part of it. I had chills the entire ceremony.

How To Handle Cold Weather
All those fancy window displays aimed at getting the attention of shoppers was topped by this simple, weathered paper sign that stopped many a frigid New Yorker in their tracks. Hot coffee on these very cold days here - it's fresh and it's delicious! That's a hard to beat combination when it's 20 degrees.

Tyrus was a different situation in that we traded a 1st rounder for him on 20 game rental. If we didnt resign him, manager would have taken a big him from the public. So they did what they had to do to save face like over paying for the likes of him. We never lose anything for the likes of Batum or Mayo. This also keeps us above the cap floor that we are supposed to meet. 85% if im correct. Nice draft picks are not picks in the twenties or late teens. The odds of picking up X player that you were looking for than you hope that X player turns out good are not very good odds to begin with. Drafting is not the only way to pick assets up.
By only going your route, you destory your cap space where if there is a quality guy for a great price in FA, you screw yourself. All your money is tied up in toxic player that you wont be able to move. You want to go Cleveland's route in how they are rebuilding. Money is not an issue for them. We have to look at our situation. We dont have the Richest owner in the game so we cant just spend money any which way we want to. But even Cleveland was smart about there trade.
They took on 10 mil to get a top 7 pick in the draft. You want to take on 15+ mil to get a late teens pick. So yeah, you are getting assets but at what cost.
We also didnt take on any extra contracts in the Portland deal. Even in the Bizmack, we never took on any extra length in the deal. Cory and Jackson have same length in contracts. We are not spending anymore then we need to to acquire those picks. What other people are asking for is lets trade every single one of our expiring for a bunch of late 1st rounders at the expense of adding 20 mil of toxic assets.
I really hope that Boston rumor comes to fruition as that could help us land in the Quincy Miller range. I know it's the Clippers' pick (not the Celtics), but if we bag that up with our 2nd round pick on draft night, move into the teens with our 2nd pick, and we could walk away with Davis and Miller out of this draft. :drool:
Jamal Crawford, Blazers
Potential suitors: Timberwolves, Bobcats
It's obvious that Crawford and Nate McMillan aren't working. Nobody really thought they would, but the lack of money available elsewhere for Crawford made a two-year deal with Portland for $10 million the only contract worth signing. Now, though, the Blazers are looking to cut their losses. Initially, a deal with Minnesota, which coveted Crawford initially, seemed like a no-brainer, with the Blazers re-patriating Luke Ridnour to Oregon. But Ricky Rubio's season-ending ACL tear Friday has made that potential deal much less likely, with the Wolves needing to hold onto their veteran point guard. So, now, according to a source, there's a chance Crawford winds up with the Bobcats in a potential deal for guard D.J. Augustin. Augustin has played just fine this season, but he's expendable now that Kemba Walker is there.
With TJ Ford retiring from Spurs, there is a reasonable chance to trade DJ to San Antonio for their 1st. Would be a late rounder, but still can get something decent for DJA rather than lose him for nothing.
Hope Resurrected: "I think I can bring an attitude to a team as far as, All right, no matter what, we are not losing this game'." - Kemba Walker
"Its okay to be bad; just so long as you're bad ass." - Keetch
"I don't care if he uses a sophisticated pulley and tackle system to get his shot off if the bitch goes in."-Mustachio
off the top of my head this was the only realistic one I could think of
although the Spurs love their draft picks they always draft well and I don't really think taking on Jefferson is worth probably the 27th pick
actually now I come to think of it T-time and Reggie Williams for Richard Jefferson and a draft pick

The global liver cancer therapeutics market has been forecast to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1% over the next six years, increasing from a valuation of $374.3 million recorded in 2011, to hit a market value of $644.3 million by 2018.
About 18,500 cases of primary liver cancer are diagnosed each year. The most common form is hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This is a tumour that begins in the main cells of the liver (hepatocytes). Primary liver cancer is twice as common in men as in women.
Surgical removal of liver tumours offers the best chance for a cure. Unfortunately, liver tumours are often inoperable because the tumour may be too large, or has grown into major blood vessels or other vital structures.
Sometimes, many small tumours are spread throughout the liver, making surgery too risky or impractical. Surgical removal is not possible for more than two-thirds of primary liver cancer patients and 90 percent of patients with secondary liver cancer.
Industry growth is expected to be driven by an increase in patient numbers, and growth in the Annual Cost of Therapy (ACT) per patient. This increased due to the approval of drug Nexavar (sorafenib) in the United States and Europe. The drug, which is co-developed and marketed by Bayer and Onyx Pharmaceuticals, also aids in the treatment of primary kidney cancer.
The current competition in the liver cancer market is weak, as Nexavar is the only drug approved for advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) with the exception of Miripla (miriplatin) in Japan.
However, there are some molecules in Phase III development as first-line and second-line treatments which promise to influence the competitive landscape in the next two to three years.
The anticipated launch of Eli Lilly's ramucirumab (IMC-1121B), a monoclonal antibody in 2014; Celsion Corporation's ThermoDox in 2014; and PrevOnco in 2015 will drive the market forward.

Making Strides with Dystonia
West Virginia teen Amanda Bell underwent deep brain stimulation surgery at Allegheny General Hospital with hopes of controlling the symptoms of dystoniaâa disorder in which the brain sends impulses to muscles that make them contract painfully and intensely. It's affected her gait, ability to hold and maneuver objects and even her speech. Allegheny Health Network's Dr. Donald Whiting explains the procedure and how it's already helping Amanda to stand and walk straighter, with hope for continued improvements as electrical impulses to her brain are adjusted in the coming months.

Is there a such a thing? (self.asktransgender)
submitted 1 year ago by Shinxma
Posting here, as I'm not sure where else I would. (Send me in the right direction if necessary)
I'm a female. Growing up, I was your average tomboy. Puberty was a rough time for me, especially because I grew pretty noticeable breasts. That experience alone was odd and problematic. I had mostly male friends, but noticed they began to look at me differently. I can never forget one afternoon when a bunch of us were swimming and we got out of the water, how some of them kept starting at my chest. Made me feel so out of place, and from that day I really hated my breasts. I was so jealous of the girls with a-cups. Every time I saw myself in the mirror, I imagined cutting them off and how perfect a flat chest would look. Still do to this day. (No matter how much my partners tell me they love them)
Before college, I only knew of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and vaguely of MtFs. Never knew about FtMs, neither did I understand why men or women transitioned. I have no problem with my lower body and vagina, however I do get turned-on by the idea of having a penis too. Been a fantasy of mine since I was young, so I sometimes pack. I frequently masturbate with and use a dildo when having sex. If I don't have one with me, I'll visualize it. As stated, I hate my breasts. I want to have top-surgery in the future. For now, I wear minimizing bras and sometimes bind. I always admired muscular physiques, so I lift weights 4 times a week. I dress masculine. Call me sir or ma'am, I don't care. I read about 'dysphoria', 'phantom limbs', etc. I've considered these things and tried to compare them to myself but, all-in-all, I have no urge to transition.
Told the woman I'm dating all this from early on and she doesn't care, thankfully. (My ex thought it was gross and I had to hide a lot from her. Good thing we ended it quick, as I felt repressed.) Anyways, we went to a queer party and were speaking with lesbians and a couple transguys. Got on the unavoidable topic of sex and experiences, and I brought up part of my story. Some of the lesbians joked that I was "trans in denial" and one of the transguys actually got kinda offended, suggesting that I was "trivializing" the problems trans people go through. It bothered me, but I didn't really know what to say without being offensive. I have a lot to learn still as I've been pretty sheltered on LGBT topics until recently.
So to keep from rambling any more: How would a trans person be offended by me? Is it not possible for a person to do and feel these things without being trans or feeling the need to transition? (Does this even have a name?)
Thanks :)
[–]justcantdanceforever 8 points9 points10 points 1 year ago
You have a right to feel how you feel, and just because your experience isn't the same as other transguys doesn't mean you're trivializing them or diminishing their experiences. Perhaps he was just insecure and felt threatened for whatever reason?
I'm kind of in the same boat. Cis-female, extremely uncomfortable with breasts (though I'm planning on top surgery as soon as I can afford it) but I don't have a huge need to transition otherwise. Maybe check out some info on genderqueer people? You don't have to be completely female or male, it's cool. :)
[–]ElEhZed 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
I feel the same as both of you. I'm cis female, I hate having breasts but don't mind the lower half, and am constantly seen as a butch lesbian. I feel quite male, but I don't know if I actually want to transition. It's a very strange spot to be in, and I haven't figured it out at all (yet?). Just wanted to chime in and reiterate that your feelings and your lived experiences are all valid, and your honest existence does not make a comment about anybody else.
[–]Hendeverguy 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago
You hardly trivialise anything by existing. He might be thinking you do so because you have a lot of things in common with trans guys, but without the desire to transition, either socially or physically, aside from top surgery. Maybe he thinks that's belittling what he's going through in his transition. That's about all I can think of, and in the immortal words of the Monty Python boys, it's silly.
Whatever you feel is completely valid; you can't help what you feel and you shouldn't ever feel guilty about it. And for sure it's possible to feel the way you do and not be trans or not feel the need to transition. You should do whatever you think will make you happy, and not worry about what other people think of you for it, and you seem to be doing a damn good job of that as it is.
As for 'does this even have a name', it's up to you. Check out /r/genderqueer or /r/agender or anything else like that (/r/genderqueer has a huge freaking list on their sidebar), and see if anything anyone says there clicks with you. If it does, cool, if not, also cool. You are whatever you say you are, and no-one should have any reaction to that other than "okay, gotcha, that's neat".
Unless you say you're the Doctor, in which case I'll be the first person to start stalking you.
[–]nuovo_donna 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
Is it not possible for a person to do and feel these things without being trans or feeling the need to transition?
I don't see why not. Plenty of cis women hate their breasts and want to get top surgery. My first gf had really large breasts and she always told me how horrible she felt about them and how she dreamed of having them removed when she was older. I couldn't understand it of course because I was completely jealous of them, yet another feeling I couldn't understand.
Plenty of women dress masculine. Plenty of women lift weights, some to enormous extremes. I'm sure you've seen female body builders (who I think are totally hot).
The packing thing might be the thing that the dudes thought you might be trivializing. I've never met a cis girl that ever had the slightest inclination toward packing. Quite to the contrary, many women I've dated can't even imagine how a dude can deal with having a dick and balls hanging out in the world all exposed and vulnerable. Not suggesting that my anecdotal experience with that is remotely universal, only that it seems to be the only thing you're mentioning here that is very far at all out of the mainstream.
[–]javatimeshas reached trans middle age 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago
I don't want to label the OP but there are plenty of butches and butch women (who might also be cis women) who are not trans men and yet who pack.
OP those people are wrong. Continue to be yourself and ignore the haters. Gender is open and it gets more open every day and that's a beautiful thing. There is no moral judgement either way.
[–]xdr4kex 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
Transition is really a social thing, not a "take hormones get surgery thing" from everything it sounds like, you've already done it and done it pretty darn well, and happy with yourself :)
[–]Hendeverguy 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago
For some people, yes, transition is purely a social thing. Personally, though, I don't think I could be satisfied transitioning socially but not being on T or getting top surgery, even if I 100% managed to pass without them; not being able to grow facial hair and having breasts are really big issues for me, and my speaking voice makes me uncomfortable to a lesser extent. So there's more to it than just social acceptance. For some people, of course.

Imagine trusting your survival to a group of strangers. Could you do it? This is what students at the experiential education school Outward Bound face when they begin a course. Using the outdoors as their classroom, students backpack, canoe, and sail their way through real world problem solving, traversing physically and mentally challenging situations as a group. By pushing everyone to their limits, Outward Bound believes this type of character education is an invaluable skill for life success, and should be taught alongside a standard high school curriculum.
Outward Bound students learn to collaborate as a team and see firsthand that every action has a consequence. Not only do these experiences teach them to climb a mountain or survive whitewater rapids, but studies show they'll help better prepare them for everyday life, whether maintaining healthy interpersonal relationships or in the job market when they're faced each day with working with different groups of people. Watch and see what students are learning and doing in unconventional ways with Outward Bound.
This is the fourth of six videos in the Teaching for Tomorrow series, which explores learning approaches that best prepare students for the workforce of the 21st century.
Presented by Apollo Group, Teaching for Tomorrow explores education, innovation and technology in schools through original videos and infographics.
How do folks afford this? Seriously - it's got great value, but...oh my, out of reach.
Financial aid and scholarships are available! I just got back from a dog sledding & skiing course at the Voyageur Outward Bound school - life changing!
Beth, Outward Bound has a wide variety of character development programs both in and out of the classroom.
Our Urban centers facilitate in school and after school programming and our Wilderness bases offer scholarships so that every person interested may attend.

This is so cool. Outward Bound could easily say "This is really about giving people the outdoor and technical skills they need to survive." But instead it's a different kind of education. It nice to see programs prioritizing what others see as intangible learnings; worth ethic, character, collaboration, reflection, and going beyond their limits. These are skills that would be great on a report card, but aren't often taught because there's still a lot needed in perfecting the cognitive channels in school and they become the priority. Glad to see that there are opportunities here - I want to participate! Again, really cool.
Chelsea we facilitate courses year round. Join us. http://www.outwardbound.org/course-finder/wilderness-expeditions/
This should be required gen ed for a high school diploma!
My son is in this video, which was filmed during his 50 day Outward Bound expedition. Yes, this type of learning should be required in high school. But when we went to the district asking for just one elective credit we were told no. Unbelievable.
It is frustrating; however, please know that Outward Bound continues to actively pursue obtaining college credit for it's program offerings by developing educational partnerships with universities and colleges.

Sunday night's loss to the Canadiens aside, the Bruins have gotten just about everything they've wanted through the first 19 games of the season. Boston is 14-3-2 and sits in fourth place in the conference with the three teams ahead having playing more games. A jam-packed stretch coming up will change that, and it should also tell us much more about the team's chances entering the playoffs. Two years removed from winning the Stanley Cup, the Bruins look different than the team who bowed out of the playoffs in the first round last season. With all that in mind, here are eight predictions for the rest of the season.
- Choose another
- Page 1
- The Bruins and Canadiens will meet in the playoffs
- Zdeno Chara won't get to fight a Canadien
- Tyler Seguin will finish with more than 12.6 goals Jim Davis/Globe Staff
- The Bruins will make a deal
- We'll be seeing more Jay Pandolfo, Jamie Tardif, and Lane McDermaid
- Tuukka Rask will hold up just fine
- Brad Marchand won't score more than 28 goals
- Chris Bourque will lose his job

Residents in Morgan County said an abandoned home is not only an eyesore but a health hazard as well.
The home is located on Kirby Bridge Road in Danville and, according to neighbors, has been vacant for at least six years. Residents said the lot is overgrown, smelly and there were even maggots in a barrel outside.
A next door neighbor with kids said they've called the health department several times with no satisfaction.
"Our kids can't even swing outside, we're afraid snakes might come out of the property," said Danville resident, Kevin Patterson. "I've called the Health Department and feel like they should come make him clean it up or condemn it."
Patterson said the health department has said it'll give the owner 60 days to do something about it.

Haha I feel like Coachella is one of the least dusty festivals I have ever been to.
Printable View
I have 48 hrs in Chicago before I head to Austin for SXSW. What is essential? GO!
virtually nothing in chicago is essential*. It is a good city to get drunk in though.
* - ok the architecture is pretty cool, yes, I will agree to that.
artistic photos with the bean? chicago has some great museums too.
Go on one of those Architectural River tours. We did it late afternoon, so you could see the buildings in daylight, but by the time you get back to the dock, the sun is setting and the city lights are coming up. Beautiful. We loved it.
Have a drink in the Signature Lounge of the Hancock Tower (don't pay for the elevator to the observation deck - a drink in the lounge costs the same, and you might as well have the alcohol). Same extraordinary views. Have your wife go into the women's restroom; there is a bank of windows(!) with more amazing views. The guys don't have windows, hehe.
Isn't it de rigueur while in Chicago to go find one of those places that serves a giant cake with cheese, sauce and meat on it? (aka deep dish pizza)
Just turned in my application. I'll be studying abroad in Utrecht, The Netherlands beginning next August. Already planning on attending Primavera and hopefully Bestival or ATP. Would love to do Roskilde but I'm not sure if it'll work out or not. LPM me if you're looking for a buddy to see some shows/fests with because I should have lots of free time! Any other venues, music festivals, or music scenes in certain cities that I shouldn't miss? (Already planning on London for a show/festival and Berlin for the infamous electronic scene.)
The blue city below. Low cost lodging, amazing meals, abundance of hashish if you into that sort of thang. And spain stinks.
My favorite city in Spain....Bilbao. The Guggenheim.
Train trip to Guernica. Train travel cheap, easy, very fun.
Spent Thanksgiving there this past year.
I bought espadrilles and berets for all my friends.
Watch for the pickpockets while you eat outside on La Ramblas is more like it. I saw some dude get jacked right before his own eyes. Some idiot had the bright idea of putting his wallet ON THE TABLE at the place he was eating at. So one of those magician/comedian type dudes goes up to the table. And he puts this picture IN FRONT of the wallet. He does his whole little bit, and people laugh and everything. So hetgot a couple of euros for it. After he left, the wallet was gone. Dude didnt realize til a few mins after it happened, and then tried to run after him but to no avail.
Washington D.C. this weekend! it's my first time there and I'm really excited :)
it dawned on me that it's super bowl sunday this weekend and that Baltimore is playing. I'm hoping that the museums are going to be empty so that I can squeeze as many in as possible.
Finally got my visa mailed to me. I leave Sunday night for Brazil so will catch the game at the airport bar.
I've always stayed at hotels but trying my first ever hostel in Ipanema. Voted world's sexiest beach so I have to see for myself. Then find a costume for the Carnival parties.
wow, that place looks neat!
Flying to London in the morning. I'll be gone a week. Wish me luck!
I saw it snow for the first time ever yesterday. Up until then, I just thought people woke up one morning and snow was already on the ground. all together now... WHO CARES BETH?!
DC is pretty great. yesterday I only went inside the archives and the rest of the day was just walking around the mall and the basin being an architecture slut. today I'm going to check out the American History Museum, the Natural History Museum and 1 or 2 others. then Tomorrow I'm back to Philly again for a quick overnight visit before flying back home.
Anyone done Mauritius island? Looks pretty interesting and there are waves (the local "white shorts" surf clan are notorious cocks though). Sister just got a job with Emirates Airlines, so I get 90% off tickets twice a year.
I am going to Phoenix the first weekend of March to visit a girlfriend from college. If anyone wants to meet up for a drink or ten let me know!
I found Mauritius to be underwhelming. The beaches and resorts are beautiful but there isn't a great deal to do and the food was pretty terrible due to the lack of primary production on the island ( turkey bacon !?! ) . I have been told that we stayed on the wrong part of the island ( North ) I can see the appeal for honeymooners but if you like to get out and about then it isn't that special. Not sure about the surf though.
My opinion may be bias due to the fact that it just seemed like a fucking long way to fly for stuff I can find a lot closer to home.
cheers for the feedback. And I'm agreeing with this "fucking long way to fly for stuff I can find a lot closer to home" with Hawaii or Cabo ($200 or less RT with Spirit Airlines FYI) in range. Going to sort something else out.
I will be in Paris for several days in July, including Bastille Day. What are some of the things to do/avoid in Paris on that day? I am definitely not going to wait in line for the free admission to the Louvre, but I welcome other suggestions.
Not sure about Bastille day, but every trip I do to Paris includes a visit here.
Nice! I had planned out several meals, but I'll add that to my list.
I leave Saturday for an all expenses paid trip to the Grand Cayman Island. Staying on the seven mile beach. Yes, I am cool.
You have 20 days to spend in France and a neighboring country or two in September/October. Moderate budget and likely to have a car to drive around. Aside from eating and drinking everything in sight, what would you do?
Anyone been to Singapore?
Already being here is way over rated.

Database of cash-only doctors
Submitted by KongVault on Fri, 09/27/2013 - 00:19There's starting to be a void requiring someone to start a business that keeps track of what doctors operate on a low overhead and take cash only. Now that people are realizing that they c an't afford Obamacare, people are going to be looking for things like that regardless of what the govt tries to force them to do.

Check out Medibid, its like Priceline or Lending Tree, where doctors bid for your business without worrying about insurance. True free market health practice.
- Login to post comments
That is great BUT,
I like the idea but how long will it be before the government outlaws cash only doctors? Seriously. If the government can mandate that everyone has to buy insurance then what keeps them from mandating that all doctors must accept insurance?
This is an honest question.

True and I believe a lot of medical
treatments will be sought elsewhere regardless. But again the question is not about forbidding cash but about mandated acceptance of insurance. It seems ignorant, even by their standards, to force people to buy insurance and not force doctors to accept insurance.
Unless this is stopped here we will see much much worse legislation in the not so distant future. Soon they will not only force these doctors to accept insurance but they will end up mandating healthcare itself. This is already starting in the private sector. For instance in my daughters first job their policy was that if you missed a day of work "due to sickness" then you had to show a doctors note or you would be fired. Other businesses require doctor exams to get a job in the first place. If there is an accident you are forced to get tested by a doctor or loose your job. The list is growing and the government hasn't even taken up these issues yet.
Ron Paul was right when he said that government is just a reflection of the people. It is peoples reliance on the healthcare system hoax that has made all of this possible. IMO

Precisely why Hillary care outlawed for cash healthcare
She knew what would happen to her socialized medicine dreams.
The current house won't outlaw it, but if the Dems ever get back in control of both houses and POTUS, they will in a heart beat.
My current doctor accepts no insurance. She is awesome, but aging. I fear she will retire in the next few years.
Expect to see the rise of for profit medicine sans insurance.

As long as it says...
THIS NOTE IS LEGAL TENDER FOR ALL DEBTS, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE on these FRNs, I don't see how they can say it is illegal to buy a legal service using FRNs. In fact, since you are paying "full freight" I would think prices should be lower. Through insurance doctors only receive pennies on the dollar.
- Login to post comments
Nobody is talking about eliminating cash transactions.
The post is about cash ONLY doctors. What I am saying is what is to keep the government from forcing them to accept the insurance that they are forcing us to buy. As a matter of fact I would say that is the next "logical" step in their minds. And the fact that they would HAVE to accept those pennies on the dollar will just mean they will as usual try to make it up with their cash customers.
Again the conversation is not about refusing cash but being forced to accept insurance.

Well the first clue would be
Well the first clue would be that the Federal Reserve notes are illegal.
They don't care about laws. Ive said it before, ill said it again, Anarchy and Totalitarianism are identical because in Totalitarianism, there IS NO LAW. Law is a constant. What you get in authoratarian control regimes is arbitrary law. Its no differant than lawlessness because it is not constant, and the ruling class never need follow it. They may go through the motions of "changing" it to suit their needs when they are still vagually worried about what the masses will thing, but when they no longer care, they won't even pretend to follow it.
We are at a time when they don't even pretend to follow it... so it doesn't matter if Federal Reserve Notes (a criminal act in and of themselves) say they are tnder for public debts... they will still make it illegal to pay doctors in cash because that would ruin the control the elite have over us. Thats the only thing they care about.
I get frustraited with people (not saying you are one of them dear poster) who always think they are going to change anything by stating the law. They don't care about the law. We are back to the jungle where the only law is might.
- Login to post comments
You are right. They don't care about law.
But let me reiterate. My response was about forced acceptance of insurance, not the prohibition of cash.
But since you bring it up they have been trying to move to a cashless system for some time now and I do believe they will eventually succeed. In a cashless society they can absolutely track every purchase which will give them that much more control over us.
If only we had not only the might but the resolve to do what is necessary to eliminate these tyrants.
- Login to post comments
This is what will happen.
The principle is: people will get what they want, even if it's illegal.
Look at inmates. Don't that they get pretty much whatever thing they want WHILE they are in jail? Drugs of any kind, food, things of any kind. They just have to pay a premium price to the prison guard who will get it for them.
Likewise, remember historically what happened in the 1920's when alcohol was made illegal? Did alcohol disappear? No. The market went underground. In similar manner, people will go to doctors who will accept cash.
Before that happens though, I think there will be a violent revolution against the status quo. If or WHEN they outlaw doctors trying to practice medicine to help suffering people, that is such hardcore tyranny that many people will revolt.
There are many, probably hundreds of thousands, who are just waiting to get to work being "Batman" vigilantes, and to start cleansing this country of its pervasive corrupt elements.

I don't think this is the same.
You already have to have a license to practice medicine. How many people practice medicine without that license? It will just be one more hoop to jump though to get the license.
And it won't be "them outlawing doctors trying to help suffering people." It will be them making sure that poor suffering people will have access to healthcare just as their argument has always been. Logic is not the name of the game.

for the 'sheeple'
google search "cash onl" and you will see the top predictive search result is "cash only doctors"
It's starting already. In fact 3 of those top ten results are related to cash only medical services. So what? you may be thinking...What it means is that people are already calculating how much their penalty will be and then will seek out cash only services on an as needed basis and will leave the premium payments for the rest of us suckers.
That is, until you realize that it's a much easier time to sit in the cart rather than being the one to pull it. Somewhere, there's a tipping point and the cart starts going nowhere fast as more people want a free ride.

My outfit published a "niche directory building software" that allows one to create any amount of categories and sub categories (like medical specialties), it captures contact info, there's a place for a full description of the listed entity, they can upload a picture and other handy stuff.
People can sign themselves up and an admin can approve or disapprove of them or the admin can input listings themselves.
It can be designed to look any way you please.
It would take a bit of tweaking to customize it for this purpose but if you are serious we should discuss it. The software is the easy part. Reaching out to all those doctors is more challenging and implies a significant marketing effort.
PM me any time.

"direct primary care"
It's called direct primary care, a less expensive offshoot of concierge medicine, which traditionally has been reserved for higher-income patients who pay thousands of dollars per year for longer appointments, better access and more personal care with their doctors. (But in addition to memberships, some concierge practitioners accept insurance; direct primary care doctors don't accept any insurance.)

Hey, you're right
But it doesn't show all the cash care places where I live.
That's why I use several search terms because even though I search concierge it will also bring up the less expensive version.

Something is totally f'ed up
if the main way of getting a service doesn't even involve just paying for it up front. Personally, I'd be fine with a veterinarian's services. If I need more than that, I think I'd rather call it quits and go out with some dignity.

There are tons of great players in the league , but question is who is the best duo?
Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol for Dwight Howard and Hedo Turkoglu. So Dwight doesn't want to be the No. 2 guy? Wait a couple of years. That's less time than Kobe had to spend behind Shaq. Make movies and TV shows in the meantime. Andrew Bynum to the 76ers for Andre Iguodala. The Lakers would address some glaring weaknesses by trading Bynum to the 76ers for Iguodala. Athleticism and defense are Iguodala's main strengths, but his ability to make plays and occupy the point-forward role vacated by Lamar Odom would be huge. The 76ers, meanwhile, would stop fighting fire with fire by acquiring the elite center Miami doesn't have. The Bucks receive Gasol and Jordan Farmar while New Jersey receives Dwight Howard bait — Stephen Jackson and Jon Leuer. (Note: Some combination of Devin Ebanks, Darius Morris and Jason Kapono would need to be waived.) L.A. sends out Gasol to field a much more balanced roster and brings back a young, up-and-coming player in Jennings. Losing Gasol hurts, but Mbah a Moute and Morrow dramatically upgrade a woeful bench, and Jennings would finally plug the lingering hole at the point guard spot. It's also worth nothing that Gooden has been sneaky productive (19.48 PER) for the Bucks this season. If he keeps that up, it may not be as big a downgrade at the 4 for the Lakers as it initially appears. Andrew Bynum for the trade exception, Steph Curry, Kwame Brown and Dorell Wright. Gasol is out of position, the Lakers won't win championships when Kobe gets too old anyways, the Warriors are center-crazy, and the Lakers desperately need penetration and 3-point shooting. Also, Mike Brown and John Kuester excelled at running plays to get Mo Williams open 3s in Cleveland, so they'd likely do well with Steph. Unfortunately, this doesn't work without including the trade exception, but if the Lakers can get Beasley for Walton and two picks to fill the hole at the 4, they should do that. Pau Gasol to Boston for Rajon Rondo and Jermaine O'Neal. The Lakers have already "traded" Gasol once. So it's not like they have a major attachment to their Spanish power forward. They need a point guard badly and would probably be willing to compromise in giving up someone like Gasol to get one of the better guards in the game. Why do the Celtics want Gasol when they already have Kevin Garnett? Well, you'll see when you get to my Celtics trade. See above. It's the only way Orlando could bring in two big men who've made an All-Star team. If you have to move Howard that should be the minimum requirement. Plus, they're out of Hedo's contract. This might look bad for Orlando, but it may be safer than putting all their eggs in one basket with Andrew Bynum or relying solely on draft picks from New Jersey to pan out. Jameer Nelson and J.J. Redick to Phoenix for Steve Nash and Josh Childress. Otis Smith has put Orlando in bad contract hell, so taking on the remaining three years and roughly $21 million on Childress' deal to get Nash is a risk he has to take to keep Howard in Orlando. A Nash-Richardson-Turkoglu-Anderson-Howard starting five is tough and definitely pushes the Magic's ceiling as a team higher than the current construction. However, their bench would be so horrendous that Childress would step in and immediately become their most productive reserve. So while their ceiling is raised with Nash on board, the question is, by how much? This is a very long shot, but the Suns do need to get younger, and Monta might thrive in that system. Also, the Magic are now contenders. Jason Richardson, Ryan Anderson and J.J. Redick to Phoenix for Steve Nash. It's time for Otis Smith to put all his eggs in the basket. Make everything available to Phoenix, other than Howard, to get Nash. If you want to have any dream of maintaining Howard, you have to show him this is a franchise worth staying with. Nash and Howard would give the Magic an incredible one-two punch, and you just fill in the pieces after that. Steve Nash to the Hawks for Al Horford. It doesn't put Nash on the inside track to a championship, but it gets him closer than he'd be in Phoenix, while bringing the Suns a big man that Atlanta has done surprisingly well without. Steve Nash to the Trail Blazers for Raymond Felton and Nicolas Batum. This would be smart regardless of what direction Phoenix wants to go. Batum is a rising star who just needs more minutes, and Felton requires an up-tempo setting to be successful. For Portland, Nash and LaMarcus Aldridge's pick-and-pop game would transform it into a serious contender. The Suns ideally should look to get something for Nash, as it is unlikely he will decide to spend his remaining years under Robert Sarver's reign of cheapness. This trade nabs them two young assets, along with another expiring contract. It's not splashy or sexy, but it's a logical move to start stockpiling assets and young players on a roster that has too many middling, overpaid veterans. See my answer to Question 2. Really, the Suns are getting the shortest end of the stick in this trade, because Monta Ellis is horrifyingly overrated and Gentry's system isn't that different from the systems he developed his bad habits in, but this will give the Suns a talented scorer in his 20s and allow them to be terrible enough to get a high-lottery pick. Yay? Steve Nash to Orlando for J.J. Redick, Ryan Anderson and Jason Richardson. From the Suns point of view: You're not building around a 38-year-old. As loyal as Nash is and as much as he means to the organization, sometimes it's just better if you let go. Nash needs to spend the twilight of his career competing for a ring, not helping in a rebuild. What Phoenix gets back here isn't a whole lot, but think about it: It's a 38-year-old point guard on an expiring deal. All things considered, it's not a bad haul. Dunleavy Jr. and Ersan Ilyasova. If Rondo has to go (if for no other reason than to end the annual rumors of him leaving) this deal brings a replacement point guard, plus $5 million in payroll savings to help free-agent shopping. In a three-team point guard swap, Boston would ramp up for one last run, Denver would get the best player in the deal and Phoenix would save money — its usual priority. Webster and Miller both have player options on their deals, so this trade is essentially three expiring contracts and a lottery-protected first for Pierce. Boston's aging core is finished, and getting Pierce's contract off the books leaves the C's with only $14.5 million in committed salaries going into the offseason. Would the Celtics' strong tradition, a blank slate of a roster and Rajon Rondo be enough to lure Howard to Beantown? Stand pat. Remember when everyone was panicking because the Celtics were losing to the league-worst Nets and being horrifyingly inconsistent, and the Cavs made trades that doomed their franchise specifically because they were looking past the Celtics and ahead to the Magic? This is not a team you want to count out of anything. Give Doc, Rondo and the Big Three one more shot. Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett to Atlanta for Josh Smith, Kirk Hinrich and Zaza Pachulia. The Celtics' title window is barely cracked right now and that core just isn't built to win anymore. Danny Ainge knows it, and that's why you're hearing his entire roster come up in trade rumors. A shakeup is needed and, as he tried last year with the Jeff Green trade, he needs to get talented youth. The Hawks have been stuck in neutral and could get two guys to give them a chance at making a run this season while opening up some cap flexibility for the future. Monta Ellis to the Hornets for Emeka Okafor. If the Warriors want to get bigger and more defensive-oriented under Mark Jackson while moving Monta's contract, here's a way to do it. Monta Ellis to the Utah Jazz for Al Jefferson. The Warriors would finally have the legitimate center they've been yearning for and a resolution to the backcourt dilemma between Ellis and Steph Curry. On Utah's end, it would be clearing playing time for Derrick Favors and Enes Kanter and have the backcourt scoring option it desperately needs. Extension or not, Golden State should roll the dice on Howard. The Warriors have a nice collection of wing players who can spread the floor, a productive 4 in David Lee who can stretch the floor to 20 feet and a dynamic young point guard in Curry. This move will make or break this franchise going forward. If the gamble pays off and Howard signs an extension, the Warriors will find themselves in the upper tier of the Western Conference for quite some time. See my answer to Question 1. The Warriors now have a franchise center, a solid point guard, a great young shooting guard who actually scores efficiently, plays defense and does the little things, and are free of the horrors of Monta Ellis' shot selection, aversion to passing, turnovers, and anti-defense. If they really want to make an extreme culture change, they need an extreme personnel change, and this would be it. Monta Ellis and Ekpe Udoh to Indiana for Roy Hibbert and Paul George. It's time to move Ellis. I'm sure it's tough to do because the Warriors see him as a star player because of his scoring ability and aren't going to get equal return. Still, it's time to hand the team over to Stephen Curry. Would the Pacers give up their big man for Ellis? Probably not, but the Warriors want a sizable 5 who can score. Next to Dwight Howard and Andrew Bynum, Hibbert's the next best thing. So what do you think will happen?1. What trade should the Lakers make?
2. What trade should the Magic make?
3. What trade should the Suns make?
4. What trade should the Celtics make?
5. What trade should the Warriors make?
He could be the best WR in Steelers and NFL History….. What do you think? Is he one of the best in Steelers history? Or is he one of the best in NFL history?
I got a message asking if as someone who lives in Boston I think the Celtics should blow it up and what could they do. So I came up with trades for all of the starting five. In reality if they blow it up, they'd want draft picks and young players. These trades are trades that they could do and…
Well I thought it would be cool to have a funny picture contest! So there will be 5 choices pick wisely ;) ……..
Ryan Zimmerman agree's to sign a $100M six year extension! Could that Nationals be contenders this season?
Robert Griffin III - Griffin was born in Japan, where his parents, Robert Jr. and Jacqueline, both U.S. Army Sergeants, were stationed. The family later lived in the U.S. State of Washington, and then moved to New Orleans, before finally settling in Copperas Cove, Texas in 1997.
Start of his football career- Griffin attended Copperas Cove High School, where he was a three-sport star in basketball, football, and track. He started at quarterback for two seasons. During his junior season, he passed for 2,001 yards and 25 touchdowns with two interceptions, while compiling 876 rushing yards for 8 touchdowns. He received first-team All-District 16-4A honors after the season. As a senior, he recorded 1,285 rushing yards, posting 24 touchdowns, and also passed 1,356 yards for 16 touchdowns with seven interceptions. In his senior season Copperas Cove finished with a record of 13–2, and lost in the championship game of the 2007 Class 4A Division I state playoffs. Over the two seasons, he rushed for a total of 2,161 yards and 32 touchdowns, while passing for 3,357 yards and 41 touchdowns with nine interceptions.
College Career -
2008 season
Griffin started 11 of 12 games his freshman season. In the upset 41–21 victory over the Texas A&M Aggies, he recorded 13-of-23 passes for 241 yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions, and no sacks.[9]
Griffin garnered Big 12 Freshman of the Year honors from the league's coaches (who are not allowed to vote for their own players) as well as the media.
The team finished the season with a 4–8 record (2–6 Big 12).[10]
2009 season
Griffin sat out for the remainder of the 2009 season after sustaining an isolated tear to his ACL in the first half of the third game and his third start of his sophomore year. The Bears picked up a 68-13 victory over Northwestern State.[11]
Season record was 4–8 (1–7 Big 12).
2010 season
Griffin was granted redshirt status so he entered the 2010 season as a redshirt sophomore. According to the bylaws, players who are injured after playing less than 30 percent of the season may be eligible (Griffin was injured during game three of 12 of the 2009 season, with 25 percent of the season completed).[12]
Baylor finished the season 7–6 (4–4 Big 12).
2011 season
Coming into the 2011 season, the Baylor Bears were not expected to do well, being picked 6th in the Big 12 preseason poll.[13] The Bears opened the season with 15th ranked TCU. The Bears took a 47-23 lead into the 4th quarter, and were able to fight off a comeback after TCU gained the lead 48-47 briefly, only for Baylor to kick the game winning field goal and win 50-48. They pulled off the upset in large part to Griffin's performance, who passed for 359 yards, 5 touchdowns and a 77.8% completion percentage. Following the win, Baylor entered the AP Poll rankings for only the third time in the previous 15 seasons, at 20th,[14][15] and Griffin was considered by many to be a Heisman Trophy candidate.[16] After a bye week, Baylor shut out Stephen F. Austin State University 48-0 and Griffin went 20 of 22 (90.9%) for 247 yards and 3 touchdowns and ran for 78 yards.[17] In week 4, Griffin ushered Baylor to their third win, beating Rice University 56-31. Griffin completed 29 of 33 passes (87.9%) for 338 yards with 51 yards rushing and a touchdown.[18] In week five, against Kansas St. Griffin almost brought the bears to their fourth win, but lost 36-35 to Kansas St. completing 23 out of 31 (74.2%) for 346 yards, five touchdowns, and one interception. In week five against Iowa St. Griffin took Baylor to Iowa for their fourth win completing 22 out of 30 (73.3%) for 212 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. He won the Heisman Trophy, becoming the first player from Baylor to win it. On December 16, it was reported that Griffin's parents were interviewing potential agents, indicating that Griffin was preparing to enter the NFL Draft.[19] On January 11, 2012, Griffin officially announced his intention to enter the draft.

Runet (portmanteau of ru (Russia's top-level domain) and net (common abbreviation of internet)) is a widely used[citation needed] term that pertains to Internet domains and websites, and has several terminological uses. The term "Runet" has been used by media, journalists and politicians.
Runet is not completely synonymous with Internet in Russia or Internet in Russian language, but rather is a summation of Russian-language Internet, Internet in Russia and other countries of the world where there is a significant portion of Russian-language citizens[clarification needed][original research?].
There is a lack of English-language terminological division[clarification needed] between three varieties of "Russian": the Russian language (russkij jazyk), members of the majority ethnicity of the country[which?] (russkie), and even citizens of the country Rossiya (rossiyane). The country domain .ru in its own language sounds[clarification needed] to be attributed to the language or the culture, but not the country itself.[original research?]
Historically the term Runet has been described as:
- Russian-language Internet. According to the definition in Yandex slovari dictionary published in 2001, "Runet is Russian Internet. The borders of Internet are usually not based on the "geographical borders", but rather on "languages", and therefore the term Runet is usually considered to be not only websites in .ru domain, but also all Russian-language and/or Russian-oriented[clarification needed] websites".[1] "Economic dictionary" of 2009 says "Runet is Russian-language part of the Internet".[2] This is a common meaning of Runet. Practically, this definition makes it the Russian-language online community of post-Soviet states and their diasporas.
- .ru domain. Runet is the part of Internet, whose websites are in top-level .ru domain.[1] This definition would exclude Russian (language) or Russian (country) sites intentionally using other domains. Highly popular alternative domains include as ".da" or ".net" for humorous impact or strength of statement (as these mean yes and no, respectively, in Russian), popular havens for illegal activities like ".me" (piracy) or ".cz" (to avoid prosecution for facilitation of prostitution), or ".com" for international expansion - the latter being home to Russia's #2 site by Alexa rank, domestic-owned and based international social network Vk.com
- Internet in the Russian Federation. According to the definitions found in Finansovy Slovar' and some early-version Yandex slovari dictionaries (disputed by revisions), "Runet is the Russian part of Internet".[3][4] Also, Russian officials strongly suggest that Runet is the Internet in Russia[5][6])
