Sometimes I use my Unown collection as something of a keyboard. I offer them in rapid succession to spell out words, usually the names of Pokemon I want that they seem to have. Before I got my Thundurus, I would use them to spell out "THUNDURUS?". Usually this was met with a frowning icon in return. One time someone kept turning down everything I was offering- the Tynamo, the Cryogonal, Mandibuzz, Braviary, you name it, he rejected it. So out of frustration I spelled out "WHAT DO YOU WANT?!". He D/C'd on me. Also, when I'm about to leave the GTS negotiations, I often spell out "BYE" with the Unown. One time, someone had the gall to offer me a level 2 Mewtwo (so clearly and obviously hacked), so I first spammed the frowning icon, then used my Unown to spell out "HACKER", then "SCREW YOU", and then disconnected.
And people think Unown are useless.

Baby Gear
Maxi-Cosi Mico Infant Car Seat - Choco Mint
" I know it sounds silly but I was drawn to this seat because of the color options. I was so sick of all the neutral boring car seats. I opted for the bright pinkish one and although I had a boy( it was a surprise) I still love it. It was easy to install in our Subaru Outback and very easy to eject out of the base although I rarely took the car seat out of the car. I prefer to hold baby or put..." --Begooddogood
BABY TREND Flex Loc Infant Car Seat EVEREST w/Base
"I didn't love this seat because the handle was difficult to put up and own but I loved the no thread harness and ease of putting it in and out of the car! It also fit three across the 2nd row of my pathfinder which I needed! " --BathrobeGoddess
Arms Reach Beautiful Dreamer Cocoon - Shadow Stripe
" My son was a colicky infant. He had a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep during naps and at night. In order to get him to fall asleep he needed to be swaddled, put in a baby sling and then bounced on an exercise ball. If he woke up in the middle of the night my husband and I would have to go through the whole process again! Obviously did not result in..." --fosterparent
Safety 1st Alpha Omega Elite - Caroline
" Our child outgrew his infant car seat way to fast, so we got this one that will hopefully last him till he's done. It goes from 5-35 lbs (rear-facing), 20-44 (front), 40-100 (booster seat). It had very high safety ratings and ease of use. Installation isn't the easiest and you need a big back seat to allow room for the reclining part of the rear facing features. I like the one-handed..." --mhemingson
Tres Tria Cosleeping Solution
"We finally got the Tres Tria, and I'm so glad we did! I had looked at it and opted not to get it with our 3rd baby, but by the time baby 4 came, I couldn't put it off. We had used a side-carred crib in the past but were tired of not having room and accessibility. With the Tres Tria, we can keep the baby safe while still being able to get in and out of the bed and while maintaining walking..." --HeatherB
Dexbaby Safe Lift Universal Crib Wedge, White
"Got this to help with DD's gas and reflux issues. It's made for cribs, but it also fit into our Arm's Reach Cosleeper. It definitely doesn't fit into the "natural" category-it's a foam core with a weird plastic cover that smells a little funny. It did seem to help with her gas when we could get her to sleep in the co-sleeper. " --triskelion
Nollie Covers - Organic Bliss Car Seat Cover
" Since I found out I was pregnant I had been looking for an organic car seat cover that completely replaced the VOC leaching one that comes with the car seat. Almost everything I found was just a cover that went over the original. I found a few replacements but they still used foam or recycled plastic. Then I found Nollie Covers I couldn't believe it, 100% organic cotton padded with 100%..." --KaraJMay

The court will assist in filling out an application for criminal complaint form, and the cost to file the application with the court is $15.00. After the application form is filed with the court, a hearing will be scheduled and the defendant (the person being complained about) will be notified by mail. Both parties are required to attend the hearing. The application must include and verify the correct address of the defendant so that he/she can be summonsed to appear at the correct courthouse. If a correct address is not provided, the hearing will not proceed. If the complainant (the person who filed the application) fails to appear, the application may be denied without prejudice. The burden of probable cause rests solely on the complainant.
The defendant may or may not secure counsel for the hearing. An attorney is not appointed for this proceeding. Applications for Criminal Complaint can be filed in the appropriate jurisdiction of the Boston Municipal Court Department.

This name for the character & is surprisingly recent, not being known before the nineteenth century, though the character itself was in use long before printing was invented. It started life as a Roman scribe's abbreviation of the Latin et, meaning "and", and became common in the early medieval period. It was later taken over as an abbreviation for the English word and.
In some modern italic fonts (this is ITC Baskerville) the form of the ampersand is deliberately reminiscent of the medieval scribe's style. You can see flourished versions of the e and the t.
Ampersand is a contraction of "and per se, and". This sounds very strange, but it's a continuation of a medieval convention in which Latin per se, by or in itself, was often added to those letters that could stand alone as words: A, I and O (as in "O for the wings of a dove"). A per se, a meant "a by itself makes the word a". Since it stood first in the recital of the alphabet, in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries it came to mean a pre-eminent person or thing:
In the one, that is for lands and possessions, you have companions many; but in the other, my good lord, you are A per se A with us, to our comfort and joy unspeakable.
In a letter to Lord Russell from John Bradford, 1554.
It was common enough that at this period it was contracted to apersey, meaning the first, unique, or most distinguished person or thing.
It was usual in the eighteenth century to have children end their recital of the letters of the alphabet with &, because it was so common. It was read out as and per se, and, which meant that the symbol &, whose name was and, stood by itself and actually meant "and".
In time, the character became known by this phrase, which became slurred through rote recital and oral transmission into all sorts of dialectal and variant forms, including anparse, empus-and, emperzan and amperzed. It was only in the 1830s that one form, ampersand, became dominant and conventional. By then, the old rote way of learning the alphabet seems to have been on the way out:
The expression and per se, and, to signify the contraction &, substituted for that conjunction, is not yet forgotten in the nursery.
A Glossary, or Collection, of Words, by Robert Nares, 1822.

Is that they often don't set limits.
I read a lot of what (I consider) mediocre-to-bad marriage advice on my Facebook feed, and a little googling doesn't render much better, though I will admit there are also some great sources out there too (thank, you, Shaikh Yaser Birjas). These things bug me but not enough that I actually take the time to sit down and compose a response to them. Today however, I read something very true, actually from the famous book Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus, and it was so true that I just felt the propellers turn on, and I frankly won't be able to return my brain to its rightful uber-engaged reading of the final installment of the epic fantasy series The Wheel of Time until I get this out.
What Dr. Gray said is something that I think ties into all these lackluster "Islamic" marriage-advice posts I read and that is this: women don't know how, or don't want, or don't understand, or are too afraid, to set limits in their marriages. In short, women are often the wrong kind of martyrs.
Unrelenting altruism is generally what I find my facebook peppered with, comments like: "If you husband has too high expectations of you and you feel angry and resentful, just seek refuge with Allah from the devil and do it for the sake of Allah! Remember Allah's reward!" Or other comments that remind women that they are "genetically capable" of being more patient and merciful and are therefore called upon to make more sacrifices for their husband's happiness, or to just "be patient" with him, which makes a woman who isn't doing just that seem "impatient" or "selfish."
I'm sorry but without sounding disrespectful, people need to remember that just because someone is a shaikh or runs a Facebook group on marriage does not mean they have any qualifications in psychology or psychotherapy and so on (though a few do). And well, neither do I. Just a little Screamfree training.
People speak from experience. The article I read by a popular shaikh had some great advice, but the general message was really "you won't be in love with your spouse forever, they're going to get fat and disinterested in you, you're going to have kids, so sacrifice your own needs and wants for the sake of the kids and realize that anything else is just a romantic fantasy." It assumes an eventual stalemate (and weight gain). Just make it a peaceful one.
I think I'll just start buying shovels for people when they get married with a card that says: "Here, this is for you to bury the love and passion you're going to enjoy on your honeymoon because it's gonna die. Sorry."
I'm not saying marriage is just about love and passion and I'm not saying you shouldn't make sacrifices, but what I get from most of these status updates and "advice" talks is an extremely defeatist attitude that ironically encourages you to not give up. It assumes stagnation in people as individuals as well as a couple and it assumes that women are largely responsible for making sacrifices because they are more "merciful and compassionate" and their husbands are the authority in the house. So what else is a woman left to do except believe that if her husband has high expectations or frustrating/selfish demands, as long as he's fulfilling his duties and what he's asking isn't haraam, she should just remind herself that "her reward is with Allah" and be just do it without complaint?
I think its admirable to be a martyr initially to a certain extent, to have the "for the sake of Allah" or "for the sake of the kids" attitude when you realize that you're feeling resentful of your husbands expectations/demands, but after a while I frankly think it weakness when a woman slips into permanent martyr mode. There is defeatism lurking under the guise of "strength", which is what I find problematic about so many of these comments and talks and updates. If there is a problem in a marriage, such as the husband making unrealistic/unfair demands of his wife, and she is just a burning coal of resentment, then both spouses are contributing to the problem, and her contribution is as Dr. Gray so accurately stated: women don't set limits.
Is your husband stupid? Is he a child? Does he have the capability to mature and grow? If he's over the age of 15 then your answer should be yes. That's what I believe marriage is really about, not about sacrificing for the sake of the other person's deficiencies or flaws, or overcompensating for them. If you're a woman its not making your house/child/husband duties or unfair treatment an expiation for you sins and seeing your sex-life as merely a sadaqah. No, marriage is about growing-up. Nothing asks you to slough off your immaturity like marriage. Up until this time the people you have lived with this closely have been your family, people who largely share your views, habits, and expectations. This new person is likely going to surprise and challenge you, and you will have to reconsider the things you thought true and no doubt along the way make some sacrifices to find common ground on issues when you both continue to have a different opinion. Bravo for that kind of sacrifice, because it acknowledges you can be different but still be united. But that is NOT the kind of sacrificing I see promoted in many Islamic talks. That kind of sacrificing does not involve this maturation process–it assumes people, particularly men, can't and won't change so you need to sacrifice to keep conflict to a minimum.
But here is another problem: it also assumes that conflict is inherently bad. Oh, I know it is unpleasant and therefore as humans we avoid it, but I believe conflict is not bad; I believe conflict, the collision of two different ideas, feelings, or beliefs is good, because it reaffirms your love for one another when you handle it properly and lends itself to you growing as an individual, which lends itself to your marriage being in a better place than it was yesterday. When people go to counseling, they get it all out and its ugly, but they end up better in the end. They had to collide before they could find harmony. What is bad about conflict is not the difference itself–those are inevitable and probably part of why marriage is considered half our deen–what is bad is when people are immature about handling conflict, when they handle it poorly and do things like argue, deny, dismiss, and cling to their viewpoints for egotistical reasons, making them akin to warring children in a nursery.
Now let's go back to limits and also see why this isn't going to be a back-handed feminist rant and how BOTH husband and wife, I believe, can benefit from a woman learning to set limits.
Women can fall easily into martyr mode, and that's not their husbands' faults. They go to a dinner party and see some other woman who has a nicer home, is a better cook, looks happier, etc. and believe me for the next couple days she's going to go into high-gear, she's gonna be a cleaning whirlwind, serving tea, wearing make up, and limiting the amount of TV the kids are watching. Who knows she may even do something outrageous like decide to start growing her own vegetables organically because after her visit with the granola-mommy-hippy brigade she has to sacrifice the ease of buying pesticide-laden food to be the perfect mother. Many women martyr themselves because they believe the more they do it, the better they are, the more their value rises in the eyes of their families, friends, and themselves. Oh yea, and Allah.
You can martyr yourself and I think for the first couple days you'll feel that altruistic-euphoric-high, but give it a week at most and you're going to start to feel really burnt out and resentful. Does this make you a deficient wife/mother/Muslim, or is this a red flag that something is wrong and needs to change in your manic martyrdom?
A man may have unfair demands/expectations, but the women is enabling them by not setting limits. In reality a woman in this situation feels disrespected by her husband, and love and passion cannot thrive in an environment where one partner feels disrespected by the other. But the man probably doesn't even know he's disrespecting her by asking "so much" of her. He probably doesn't even know anything because if there's one thing that seems to be true, men make lousy telepaths.
I know what you're saying: "But Liv! If I set limits he'll think I'm disrespecting him!"
Marriage is a relationship of transactions (hmmm, is that why scholars put the nikkah contract in the book of transactions? LOL). If a man eases up on his demands/expectations, this will naturally cultivate love and a better sense of well-being for his wife, which leads to what? You guessed it, probably a better and more genuine love and sex-life. In order to gain someone's favor, you have to learn the currency they operate in and for most men, it is the currency of physical displays of affection, not just sex itself but physical touching, cuddling, and other loving acts. These will seem forced and minimal at best if a resentful woman is providing them. Sex will seem passionless and loveless and more just a "sadaqah" to relieve his/her hormones. Another currency men operate in is, you guessed it, respect. A woman can lighten up on how much she does, while still respecting her husband in which she is doing. Maybe she can make an effort to balk less on issues she knows are really important to him, on things she knows he's extra-sensitive about while she makes a shift away from doing so much.
If a woman is going to set limits on how much she's going to do around the house, with the kids, to "serve" her man, it would probably be helpful that as she tells him how burnout she feels, she doesn't blame him. She can actually say that she's overextending herself and its her fault for not bringing it up earlier, that she feels like she doesn't have enough left to give at the end of the day because of how much she does.
Some husbands will object, but this is where real marital sacrifice comes in. Not by her stifling herself, but by both of them sacrificing the "comforts" of a familiar but destructive routine and finding some middle ground where they can both be happy rather than ending up in a bitter stalemate. And the reality is this: many people, both men and women, have extremely high expectations of their spouses and the only expectations they have for themselves is that people should always make excuses for them. Before you decide if your spouse is one of these people, ask yourself is you are. Challenge yourself as well as your partner. Grow yourself up and calm yourself down, then be authentic with your spouse for the sake of the union, which also means being willing to listen to what they have to say. Tell them that you are being authentic not because you are one of two feuding groups trying to seize territory in an ongoing war, but because you want to be truly happy with them, and you believe that by sharing your own feelings and thoughts, as well as hearing their's, you can find true peace and a greater sense of shared well-being.
This is not an easy task for most people. Most people's knee-jerk reaction is to protect them self out of fear of being taken advantage of, out of fear of losing ground. Most people will protect their own positions and arguments doggedly, uncaring if they are fact, fiction, or opinion. If you're married to someone like this, one of the biggest favors you can do for them is not let them continue to live in such a mentally encapsulated, immature way. It doesn't mean you have to be mean, or arrogant, or unloving, but it does mean you have to be real with them in a calm way and continue to show your best self, for the sake of Allah (see this is where that comes in) in spite of how they may try to snag you into familiar fights and cycles. Smile, be courteous, be loving daily and be calm while you continue to be real with them about yourself. Show them that by engaging with you on an issue they aren't losing something but rather gaining something: a better marriage and a better you. And do these things for the sake of Allah, for the sake of principle, and Allah will put barakah in your efforts, inshallah. You may be the first person in their life that has ever called them to grow and that's not a bad thing, its a very good one. You may be the first person to challenge your spouse believe in something as fundamental as mutual respect.
Every day I am thankful that I have a husband who helped me grow, who was patient with the childishness, passive-agressiveness, emotional blackmail, and inability to accept constructive criticism that peppered the first few years of my marriage. At the time I was only able to live in the emotion of the moment and wanted to be "right," but the more my husband was authentic with me in a calm way, the more he didn't make it "me vs. you" but really about bettering our marriage, the more I was able to finally comes to terms with my own immature behavior. I would still be the same person I was then had he been silent, and I might still be the same person had be been vocal but blamed me or blamed himself. Because he was always authentic, I heard the same thing so many times that I had to consider it if I wanted something to change, and because he was calm, I had to eventually accept that this wasn't some aggressor trying to suppress me for his own gains, but rather someone just filing a legitimate complaint.
May Allah make it easy for all of us to find the positivity and growth in conflict, to change our views of what it means to have conflicts in the first place, and to be true warriors in our marriages who don't accept defeat or at least know that they fought the good fight before they finally raised the white flag.

(Recap and) the First Fire of Marriage: Time Management
Written by: Olivia (Certified ScreamFree Leader) on August 21, 2012 @ 9:57 am
In a previous post we discussed how marital conflict could be used as a tool to bring couples closer by strengthening their bond. Just as Allah's messenger, peace be upon him, mentioned that conflict purifies the believer, just as a forge-fire purifies gold, perhaps there is no relationship that can purify a person more than [...]

Musings of a (wonderfully) baby-free Ramadan
Written by: Olivia (Certified ScreamFree Leader) on August 10, 2012 @ 7:13 am
So, this Ramadan has been my first Ramadan in seven years where I have not been pregnant or breastfeeding. I did both back to back, without any "down" time in between my kids where I wasn't doing either, because I nursed for two years and had my three kids roughly 2 and a 1/2 years [...]

On Loving My Kids, but Parenting? Eh, not so much always, really.
Written by: Olivia (Certified ScreamFree Leader) on April 8, 2012 @ 7:09 am
I love my kids, like seriously no matter what, I looooooove my kids. I mean, what sane mother doesn't? The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said 'God divided Mercy (or Grace) into 100 parts and kept 99 parts of it with Him and sent down one part on earth. And because of [...]

The Demise of the Perfect Mother (metaphorically speaking)" or, (less romantically), "Why I Love My T.V."
Written by: Olivia (Certified ScreamFree Leader) on March 13, 2012 @ 9:40 pm
There was once a time when I had absolutely no T.V. in my house and the only thing my 2 year old daughter ever watched was an 80s version of the carebears on youtube which was reserved for only absolute emergencies. Then one time she got sick and we watched March of the Penguins and [...]

Codex tools: Log in
WordPress was born out of a desire for an elegant, well-architectured personal publishing system built on PHP and MySQL and licensed under the GPL. It is the official successor of b2/cafelog. WordPress is modern software, but its roots and development go back to 2001. It is a mature and stable product. We hope that by focusing on user experience and web standards we can create a tool different from anything else out there.
2001 - b2 cafelog launched by Michel Valdrighi.
2003 - Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little fork b2 and create WordPress.
2004 - Plugins are introduced with Version 1.2 (Mingus).
2005 - Theme system and static pages are introduced with Version 1.5 (Strayhorn), followed by persistent caching, a new user role system, and a new backend UI in Version 2.0 (Duke).
2007 - A new UI, autosave, spell check and other new features were introduced in Version 2.1 (Ella). Widgets, better Atom feed support, and speed optimizations came out in Version 2.2 (Getz). And tagging, update notifications, pretty URLs and a new taxonomy system were introduced in Version 2.3 (Dexter).
2008 - Version 2.5 (Brecker) was released with a new administration UI design by Happy Cog, and introduced the dashboard widget system and the shortcode API. Version 2.6 (Tyner) built on 2.5 and introduced post revisions and Press This. A usability study was done on 2.5 over the summer, leading to the development of the Crazyhorse prototype, and the eventual release of Version 2.7 (Coltrane), which redesigned the administration UI to improve usability and make the admin tool more customizable. Version 2.7 also introduced automatic upgrading, built-in plugin installation, sticky posts, comment threading/paging/replies and a new API, bulk management, and inline documentation.
2009 - Version 2.8 (Baker) introduced a built-in theme installer and an improved widget UI and API. Version 2.9 (Carmen) introduced image editing, a Trash/Undo feature, bulk plugin updating, and oEmbed support.
2010 - Version 3.0 (Thelonious) was a major release, it introduced custom post types, made custom taxonomies simpler, added custom menu management, added new API's for custom headers and custom backgrounds, introduced a new default theme called "Twenty Ten" and allowed the management of multiple sites (called MultiSite).
2011 - Version 3.1 (Gershwin) introduced post format and the admin bar. Version 3.2 (Reinhardt) made WordPress faster and lighter, this version upgraded minimum requirements to PHP 5.2.4 and MySQL 5.0.15, and introduced a new default theme called "Twenty Eleven". Version 3.3 (Sonny) made WordPress more friendly for beginners with welcome messages and feature pointers.
2012 - Version 3.4 (Green) introduced the theme customizer and theme previewer. Version 3.5 (Elvin) introduced the new media manager and the new default theme called "Twenty Twelve".
2013 - Version 3.6 (Peterson) introduced a new default theme called "Twenty Thirteen", builtin Audio and Video support, dynamic and scalable Revisions, improved Autosave and Post Locking. Version 3.7 (Basie) introduced automatic updates for maintenance and security updates, stronger password meter, improved search results and better global support for localized versions. Version 3.8 (Parker) introduced new admin design and new default theme called "Twenty Fourteen".

Contract awarded to update state web portalSTAFF REPORT | November 29,2012MONTPELIER A Connecticut company has been selected to design and implement Vermonts new online business service portal for the Division of Corporations.
PCC Technology Group of Bloomfield, Conn., was awarded the contract to create the new system that will allow Vermonters to transact the majority of their business with the state online, Secretary of State James Condos announced Tuesday.
We currently run on an outdated DOS system, combined with over 60,000 pieces of paper mailings, the cost of stamps, the envelopes, and the inefficiency associated with that process, Condos said. We looked at best practices in other jurisdictions where they have successfully leveraged information technology to reduce waste, increase response times, and provide greater value to the taxpayer.
The first phase of the new system will introduce the online annual report function which will go live in the first quarter of 2013. The entire system will be fully functional by early 2014.MORE IN National / World BusinessCOLCHESTER Despite a decline in dairy farms in Vermont, milk production is constant and farmers...

Squats with doubled over monster mini bands
315 x 1, 365 x 1, 405 x 1, 315 x 2
Bench - competition grip
225 x 2, 275 x 1, 225 x 5
24kg KB one arm swings x 100
I was feeling pretty off when I started and actually had a miss at 405 on the squat and a near miss at 275 on the bench - gulped a 4 oz cranberry juice and then hit them both clean and smooth - Lesson here is that I will be modifying the IF to include protein shakes at intervals - especially on squat/heavy days. Or I will be going 2 days IF one day "regular" or something along those lines.
I am figuring the band tension to be 160 at the top (due to the fact that I have to put 25# plates on the 85# dumbells to keep them from floating up) - so 405+band tension is a nice overload to coast into the meet next week.

Thanks Alan - I keep the volume low on the band squats for that reason.

from Eminem – Insane Lyrics on Rap Genius
In the first verse, Eminem raps about Marshall Mathers' childhood; how his stepdad used to sexually abusively rape him—as a child—which affected his brain and way of thinking and made him go "insane".
Even though Eminem made a song about it, it's uncertain whether he was actually raped or not.

Sorry, Hal
I have failed Hal Higdon.
In my defense, I thought I was running a 5K tomorrow. Turns out the 5K was actually today. Earlier this week I considered running a 5K that was happening this weekend. The plan I'm following via Hal said that I should've run one already so I figured this would be perfect. I scrapped my week's plan and sort of just 'went with it'.
Mon: OFF
For a total of 28.5 ish miles.
I mean, not bad. I didn't get my 800s in there. No 5K in there either. But some pretty good mileage. Also I've now got a sack full of bagels to enjoy. I always buy bagels before a race so I can eat a plain toasted bagel the morning of. Today, when I would have already been done racing and on my way home had I known what day it actually was, I was walking to buy bagels. Good news is, I found a bagel shop that has copious amounts of tofu cream cheese in addition to a wide variety of bagels. SCORE.
Once my panic subsided I realized I could probably run Skunk Cabbage. It's a pretty cheap half too, so it's not like I'll be dropping a bunch of money on another race. (The money for the half that I am 99% sure I can no longer run can be transferred to another race, so I'm not losing it which is nice.) Getting there will be interesting, as I no longer own a car, but hey, I'll figure it out. I made my way to Long Island for a baby shower on little to no sleep without having thoroughly read the directions. Pretty sure I can make it to Ithaca for a half marathon. This does however mean that I'll be down two weeks of training. But seeing how I've so thoughtfully decided to start manipulating my training plan, maybe it will be okay. Or something. It will have to be.
So Hal, forgive me. I have defied you and your training plan. Next week I'll try to stick to it a little bit better.
Weather.com, Please Don't Lie
If it really ends up being 50 degrees this weekend I am going to run my face off in shorts screaming "YOLO" over and over again until I can't run anymore.
Destination Running
Two times in the past week I've managed to weave my daily running into another activity during my day.
The first time was when I had dinner plans with my friend Vinny and his girlfriend. I wanted to make sure I got my run in but I didn't get back to the apartment until about an hour before dinner. Part of me thought, "I can just run after dinner!" but then I realized I would get home on the later side and just want to faceplant in bed. So instead of cramming 3 miles in, getting flustered thinking I would be late, showering, and sprinting to the restaurant, I ran to the restaurant. It's still cold enough that I didn't show up completely disheveled and soaked in sweat so it worked out perfectly. I mapped a route that would end up being 3 miles to the restaurant, ran there, stuffed my face with pizza and beer, and got a ride home.
The second time was equally awesome but much colder. Because the fridge pretty much only had bruised apples and condiments in it, groceries were a necessity. This merged with the 40min tempo I needed to run when we ran over the Williamsburg Bridge and ended up at the Union Square Whole Foods. Grocery shopping: completed. Subway: taken home. I'm sure a lot of people do this but my mind is completely blown.
Maybe the reason I never did this in Boston is because the subway system is horrific there and the nearest subway stop was a 30min walk from my apartment. Or maybe it was because I lived there for so long that I just never thought to. I'm not sure. But this is definitely my new favorite way to get in a run when it seems like there isn't enough time.
This past week I ran 20 miles total and missed a 7 mile run. But I'm just going to do it today, because I mean, Monday is basically Sunday when you think about it.
I've been in new york for almost two weeks now. The majority of my running has been done on a treadmill at the gym due to the ice patches and slush puddles lakes. The times that I have run outside I've almost wiped out more than I'm used to and spent portions of my run prancing like a gazelle through packed snow which has replaced sidewalks in most parts of my neighborhood. This doesn't bode particularly well for half marathon training, but at least I'm getting runs in. It's hard to get a speed workout in when this winter keeps hitting the reset button. I did a lot of my speed training on a treadmill when I was getting ready for Skunk Cabbage, and it seemed to work well enough, so I might just resort that again for now. Ideal: nope. Better than smashing my face on the ground: huge yes.

What would you like us to do with the funds you've selected
By Forensic News, FE Trustnet Monday February 27, 2012 at 03:33
Fund manager Ben Whitmore is no longer rated a FE Alpha Manager.
FE Alpha Manager ratings are awarded to the top ten percent of UK retail fund managers running unit trusts & OEICs each year, and recognise those who maintain a consistently high alpha score over a proven track record in rising and falling markets.
According to FE Trustnet, Ben Whitmore has achieved an annualised total return of 6.2% over 10.4 years, against 4.7% achieved by his peer group composite benchmark during that period.

Women's Softball College World Series Prediction
By Samantha Cooke ,
Every year, eight softball teams travel to Oklahoma City for the Women's College World Series. Only one team east of the Mississippi River has won the National Championship. The University of Michigan won it back in 2005.
Will this be a year another team east of the Mississippi breaks through? Florida comes in to the scene ranked No. 1, but will they make it through?
Here are my predictions for how the teams will finish. I put a bracket at the end in case you don't know how the bracket works. Enjoy!
The University of Georgia has the youngest team in the bracket. They only have two seniors and no juniors. This inexperience spells disaster for them this year, but will help in the years to follow.
The Bulldogs will lose their opening game to Washington, then get eliminated by Arizona State.
Yes, the University of Arizona has one of the most prolific offenses this year. With well over 100 home runs, they broke the record this year. But, is this conceiving?
This year the Pac-10 has one of the worst groups of pitchers - they are not bad pitchers; however, they are not the caliber of Jennie Finch and Anjelica Selden.
While Arizona has a great offense, they have to hope they don't get outhit. This will happen against Florida. Arizona will lose the first game to Florida behind Stacey Nelson. They will then face Alabama and have trouble with Kelsey Dunne.
Arizona State is the defending National Champions. This year, however, they don't have five key players they had during their title run. The Sun Devils graduated the most important person in Katie Burkhardt.
Arizona State will win a game at the tournament, but have trouble. They are not the same team they were last year. Home runs and hits are down and the fielding is not as sharp.
The Sun Devils will lose their opening round to Missouri, eliminate Georgia, then lose to Michigan to get eliminated.
Missouri is the feel-good story of this year. They came in unranked and beat number two UCLA in Los Angeles to advance to the WCWS. Missouri has a tough team that never gives up—they have some of the biggest bats in the country.
The Tigers are led by a freshman pitcher, which will hurt them in their title run. The inexperience will cost them in the end.
The Tigers will beat Arizona State before losing to Washington. Then, they will face and get ousted by Alabama.
Alabama is led by Brittany Rogers and power hitter Charlotte Morgan. They have speed on the basepaths and are aggressive. Kelsey Dunne is coming off back-to-back no hitters against Jacksonville State.
Alabama also lacks experience in the WCWS. They face a tough hitting team in Michigan in the opening game. Michigan will beat Alabama. Alabama will then beat Arizona and Missouri in elimination games.
They will have to win two against Florida, but will lose the first one, sending Florida to the best-of-three championship series.
Michigan is coming off a Super Regional which saw them pummel Baylor. Dorian Shaw had three home runs on Friday and everyone hit on Saturday. Angela Findlay quietly hit two-for-six with three RBI against Baylor.
As far as pitching, this is one of the toughest duos in the country. Led by ace junior Nikki Nemitz with a 0.89 ERA, sophomore Jordan Taylor comes in with a 1.38 ERA. Both pitchers have experience playing on the road and under pressure.
Michigan will beat Alabama before losing to Florida. They will then beat Arizona State and Washington once before being eliminated by Washington. This will propel Washington to the championship series.
Washington is led by their junior pitcher and player of the year Danielle Lawrie. They have some good hitters and fielders. The Huskies will ride Lawrie as long as they can, which will be to the championship series.
They will face Florida and won't be enough to beat the Gators. Washington will start with wins against Georgia and Missouri. They will lose one game to Michigan before eliminating Michigan.
The Huskies will play the Gators in the best-of-three, winning one, but losing two.
Florida was basically untouchable this year, losing only three games. They have the experience needed to stay in the tough games and the team to back it up. The Gators have two outstanding pitchers who both have under 1.00 ERA.
They also have hitting. The Gators don't go down without a fight. They rarely strikeout, fighting off pitches until there is something near the zone. The Gators also have defense, ranking tied for second in fielding percentage.
The Gators will beat Arizona, Michigan, and Alabama on their way to the championship series. They will lose one to Washington, but win two for their first national title.

IPL 2013: Rain clouds hover over Dharamsala tie
An unprecedented rain that lashed the hill town and its surroundings might have left the organisers of the IPL worried with matches scheduled on May 16 and 18 but the ground-in-charge expressed confidence of getting the field ready even an hour after the rain stoppage.
However, the ground in charge at the HPCA Cricket Stadium said that the field is totally covered and even if the rains continue till the last moment, the groudsmen could start the match within an hour of its stoppage.
The met department has predicted that the weather will improve after Tuesday and it is likely be a sunny on 16th (Thursday) and 18th (Saturday).
The stadium is the "home ground" of Kings XI Punjab, who will take on Delhi Daredevils on Thursday at 8 pm, while face Mumbai Indians on Saturday at 4 pm.
This is the first time the Mumbai Indians will be visiting Dharamsala and with Sachin Tendulkar in their ranks, all the tickets of match are already being sold out.

I am, out of boredom, going to make a Dungeons & Dragons styled game of Sword Art Online. Though I am having trouble figuring a way to make weapon stats/character stats work. As it is nowhere explained how character stats and certain weapon stats work. Thats why I would like to ask if its possible to open a topic, inviting people to help me with this. If more information is needed I will gladly give it. -Dagl1 |

What songs exactly? The Opening and Endings?
Or perhaps you want to include the many Character Songs? There are also Other songs released under SAO related merc as well. Then again, it's probably best to limit it to just the songs that appeared in the Anime, huh? Seeing as it's unlikely any of the others will even get a vote, as how unknown they are. |

Ultra Violence A fun collection of violent submissions!

I got the idea from a book, you may have heard of it. It's called "Big Book of Bunny Suicides "
This though is to the extreme, the violence is very explicit and could scar the way you think of autopsies.
Its around 2 mins long (weird cos its only 664 KB!?)
Don't forget to check out the extras and games. It's packed full of stuff so check it out, even if you're not keen on the film itself.
Hope you enjoy the movie and stuff :) (vote high if you ever want to see me again!!!)
Rated 5 / 5 stars March 4, 2008
i loved the show and about ur kitten , its so cute!!!
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars February 15, 2008
erm okay then
its very random... anyway the picture at the end in "rate my cat" was very low quality and I suggest you get a new camera. Also, the bunny would be dead when it ripped its chest open and pulled out its heart. (If thats even posible) And where did it get the random knife from and why does it start dancing at the beggining!!!
Rated 5 / 5 stars December 29, 2007
That was a sick an twisted game but ive gotta love it and i found out that if u get a low score on the quiz just keep preesin play in the top right hand corner and choose the answer as 5
Rated 5 / 5 stars December 28, 2007

Bay Medical has been issued a certificate of approval from the Florida Department of Health to serve as a Level II Trauma Center for our region effective Dec. 1, 2013 through November 30, 2020. Bay Medical is the first and only designated trauma center in Trauma Service Area Two, consisting of Bay, Gulf, Washington and Holmes counties and is the only center between Pensacola and Tallahassee in Northwest Florida. Bay Medical received provisional status in May of 2012 to serve as a Level II Trauma Center, however a recent survey of trauma services provided at Bay Medical has resulted in full approval.
Bay Medical-Sacred Heart is ranked among America's 100 Best Hospitals for Cardiac Care for 2014 according to a new report from Healthgrades®, the leading online resource that helps consumers search, compare and connect with physicians and hospitals. The report, American Hospital Quality Outcomes 2014: Healthgrades Report to the Nation,evaluates hospital performance at over 4,500 hospitals nationwide for 31 of the most common inpatient procedures and conditions from 2010 through 2012. The 100 Best Hospitals for Cardiac Care have superior outcomes in cardiac care services including heart bypass surgeries,Coronary Interventional Procedures, the treatment of heart attack and heart failure. Your risk of death can be significantly lower at a nationally recognized hospital for cardiac care such as Bay Medical.
A new technology called InterFuse is used when a patient has a degenerated or damaged disk in the spine. These problems with the disk can lead to extreme leg and back pain and loss of function. That's why treatment is so crucial. Michael Allen Campbell had problems with the disks in his spine that were pressing on the nerves, causing pain. "I had very bad pain in my left leg, which I could not take anymore. I was leaning, hunched over and leaning to the left a little. I could not stand up straight at all," he says.
NerdWallet Health, a website that empowers consumers to make better decisions about healthcare and insurance, has found the ten most affordable hospitals in Florida – and Bay Medical Center has come in second. A recent finalist for Health 2.0's Hospital Price Transparency Challenge, NerdWallet Health used its Best Hospitals tool to analyze the 100 most common treatments at over 100 hospitals in Florida.
A local hospital now offers patients a new method for lung cancer detection that allows physicians to diagnose lung cancer earlier.
Falls are a big concern for our elderly population:
Jay Burkey was in the final month of his senior year in high school when he started having trouble breathing. After a quick trip to the family doctor and a prescription for medication to treat bronchitis, he put his mind back on school. However a few days later he started to feel worse. Much worse. In addition to trouble breathing, his chest hurt and he felt light headed and nauseous. His mother, Melanie, took him to a local emergency room fearing a severe asthma attack. "In the ER my blood pressure was really low, like 60 over 40 and then my heart rate spiked up to 300 beats a minute," said Burkey. "I could see my mom at the foot of my bed in the ER and then everything went black." Burkey was in cardiac arrest. His heart had stopped for 50 seconds until external defibrillators shocked his heart back into action. Later in intensive care, his cardiologist explained what had happened. Burkey had Wolff-Parkinson White syndrome (WPW), a heart rhythm disorder that causes a very fast heart rate. He was quickly transferred to Bay Medical-Sacred Heart in order to receive treatment from Dr. Hari Baddigam, a cardiologist who specializes in electrophysiology
Bay Medical Sacred Heart announced Barry Keel will be the new Chief Executive Officer for the hospital beginning May 17th. Keel has been a hospital CEO for more than 17 years and has also served as Chief Financial Officer and a Clinical Director during his career. Keel has worked in both not-for-profit and for-profit settings throughout the Southeast. He joins Bay Medical Sacred Heart from Health Management Associates where he served as the Alabama Market CEO with responsibility for two hospitals totaling more than 400 patient beds.
Spinal problems cause pain in the back and neck that can then radiate to the legs or arms. Treatments such as physical therapy and injections are sometimes used, but when that doesn't work, spinal surgery can. "My pain was very much diminished. I was much more comfortable, much more able to get up and do things without the cramping, the leg pain or the burning...it just all disappeared." says Adana Ward, who had surgery on her spine six weeks ago to correct her spinal cord compression and to correct the alignment in her spine.
A game-changing procedure for open heart surgery was introduced at Bay Medical - Sacred Heart. The surgery uses robotic technology without opening up the patient's chest. We were first introduced to this technology in december of last year...when Dr. Lynn Seto held a news conference. "What this means for the patient is that they have much less pain after the operation, less risk of requiring a blood transfusion, they go home quicker, and most importantly they are able to get back to their life quicker."

Best Buy Complaint - I WILL NEVER PURCHASE FROM BEST BUY AGAIN!!
Review by
Comments (15)
BURBANK, ILLINOIS -- We purchased our mother a special order Front Load Washer and Dryer with 2 pedestals (Cobalt Grey)by General Electric in early December. At the time we were told that the dryer was a special order and it would not be available until December 18th, which was fine with us becuase we were going to present the gift to her at our annual family Christmas party on December 23, 2006. However right before the 23rd we called and spoke to a senior manager (Rianna) who reported that the dryer was still on back order and after speaking with her supervisor (Linda) we were told that 6 special orders would be in on the January 3, 2007 and our mother would get her delivery on January 4, 2007 - you guessed it, it is still not available but now they won't give us a date they are basically telling us to JUST WAIT! I called to their corporate office to file a complaint and I was treated like I had made a $1.00 purchase instead of a $3,000 purchase. I was told there was nothing they can do - however, I know that there is something I can do, I WILL NEVER PURCHASE FROM BEST BUY AGAIN.

That rianna should have busted out the magic wand and made one appear. Special order comes from the manufacturer and is not Best Buy's fault. How arrogant is that statement that you were treated like you spent $1000 and not $3000?
Posted by heaven17 on 2007-01-04:
Back orders happen, especially at Christmas, and it's not a phenomenon exclusive to Best Buy. Save the drama for Shakespeare. Your mom raised 9 kids all by herself; I think she'll survive the disappointment of the delayed Xmas present. It's disappointing, yes, but 'hurt'? Yeah. And CUT! That's a wrap, folks.
Posted by Slimjim on 2007-01-04:
I can tell you best buy has nothing to do with it. GE has them on back order. They are a special run color and I guarantee Best Buy is telling you everything GE is telling them as it happens, including an original release date that fell through. Call around and try to get them from someone else. Unless a stroke of luck someone has a set on display they will sell, you'll get the same answer for ordering times.

So you think that someone that does not spend as much money as you should be treated like crap, get over your high ego. Also you and your family must have self esteem issues if you are "hurt" by this. Your mother must have been so hard on not only you but your whole family if this is causing all of you to feel hurt. I guess if that is the case she is not as great as you think.

The reason that you were treated badly when you tried to complain to the corp office was probably because you were not complaining in a mature fashion.
Posted by rnick821 on 2007-01-04:
So, the fact that Best Buy first promised this item on the 18th of December, and then the 3rd of January without result means nothing here? If Best Buy cannot deliver, they should not make promises. The customer worked with Best Buy on good faith that the item would be in when promised.
I understand the whole issue about it being out of Best Buy's hand, but that does not excuse them from their obligation. They should not tell the customer it will be there on a certain date if there is a chance that it will not be. If it were me, I probably would have made a different selection if I had known that the item would not be available.
Posted by rhondam718732 on 2007-01-04:
I understand your initial frustration but like the orhers said...a longer wait for a washer and dryer in the scheme of life is NOT an emergency or deep hurt. Hope it all works out though.
Posted by SilverWngs71 on 2007-01-04:
SLIM....NEVER EVER PURCHASE A FLOOR MODEL. If its damaged tough luck bucky. Most companies have a functional parts warranty for floor models. However a cons would be best in waiting for the appliance to come in. Best Buy should have made some consolations (sp) to the cons. However it is a issue with the MFG and what they told BB.
Posted by Anonymous on 2007-01-04:
If it's indeed a special order, it's doubtful there are going to be any "floor models." Additionally, unless substantially discounted, I'd not advise anyone to take a floor model - for obvious reasons. You're just going to have to be patient and wait for them to make your appliance, I don't hold Best Buy responsible here.
Posted by Slimjim on 2007-01-05:
Silver what do you mean? Floor models are simply unboxed products. They carry the same warranty and have the same right of refusal for damages (unless sold as is) as any other units sitting in the warehouse. They are simply the lucky ones that were unboxed for display. Maybe where you work has some special circumstantial policies with display units, but I have never seen any warranty be altered from any manufacturer because the unit was used as the showroom demo. In fact I have never heard of a manuafacturer ever asking or even being aware whether the warranty service was even being performed on a floor model or not.
Posted by SilverWngs71 on 2007-01-05:
No, they do not... A floor model will not have a cosmetic warranty and will have only a functional failure warranty. I work for a Manufacturer, I know what I'm talking about. I didn't say that they couldn't refuse b/c of damage, what I was trying to point out is if it is damaged, i.e. broken shelving or loose handle and the cons calls to say that the unit is damaged and yes some do admit it was a floor model and paid same price as the boxed ones they do not get the cosmetic warranty. The warranty would be for functional failures ONLY> That is what I mean by dont buy a floor model, how many ppl have been pulling on door or have been slamming the door to the washer, dryer, is there a scratch on the ctrl panel of the range. Really if there is damage to the unit, I would pray that the dealer would call and try to get that damage taken care of for the consumer b4 it is purchased.

Now this maybe different at GE but for the new Appliance M/W company there is no Cosmetic warranty given.

If I understand, yes, a brand will not warranty scratches or other damage not caused in route to the store. But then again, what dealer tells GE, whirlpool etc. that they need a new front panel because it was on the floor and was damaged. They are going to say, hey we got it like this right? Then they either get the replacement panel or the infamous damage allowance. Was never my point though. If the poster wants this rare color and someone has a set out, and they are not damaged in any way, then I guess there is a set available to the poster to get her mom what she wants. We sold floor models all day everyday and never had any more trouble with them in the field than stock units. Honestly my whole point is mute. If these are nowhere to be found with no release date, anyone who had a set in stock, whether on the floor or not, has long since sold them.

Just can't admit when you're wrong, eh slim? Good posts Silver, and I stand by my own comments.

Nothing wrong about anything I said pirate. In fact, silver and I just weren't really on the same page as oppose to disagreeing. Now I thought you were in the appliance biz on Tuesdays. Since this is Friday, isn't it the day you tell us you are the TV celebrity, or is it "day trader" day? All your careers pirate, we can't keep up.
