Look, let's just get this out in the open - you're the one who clicked on this article. You're the one who knowingly clicked on a link that would take you to a newsy piece about Mark Kotsay signing with the Padres. There's no room for you to complain about insignificance, because if you thought this was too insignificant, you wouldn't be looking at it. Either you're punishing yourself for no reason, or you're legitimately interested in Mark Kotsay signing with the Padres. Which are the same thing. Wicked burn!
The only reason I'm even writing anything about this move at all is because, earlier this morning, I read this article, from Fox Sports:
Regardless of what happens with Bell, the PADRES want to trade either shortstop Jason Bartlett or second baseman Orlando Hudson, major league sources say.
The Padres reportedly want to move Bartlett or Hudson to clear some payroll, as both infielders are under contract for $5.5 million next season. That's not a huge amount of money, but it's relatively huge to the Padres, so, okay, it makes sense that they'd like to shed some salary.
But then, from Ken Rosenthal, a short time ago:
Sources: Kotsay in agreement with #Padres on one-year, $1.25M contract. Pending physical.
I don't know how to reconcile these two things. The Padres are a small-budget operation, to the extent that they're supposedly looking to move one of their two starting middle infielders. They're also an operation that just committed seven figures to a 35-year-old backup outfielder.
Which isn't to suggest that Mark Kotsay is bad. Mark Kotsay is not bad, for what he is. Over the last three years, he's hit .258 with an 86 OPS+ while playing first base and all three outfield positions, which is okay for a bench player. He also played for the Padres between 2001-2003, so he brings some kind of familiarity. On its own, the notion of giving Mark Kotsay $1.25 million as a free agent is not ridiculous.
It's just ... weird, that this is the Padres doing this. The Padres worry about every dollar they have, or at least they ought to. They couldn't find a fourth outfielder for the league minimum, or something closer to it? There's nothing in their system? None of the minor league free agents are appealing? None of the other major league free agents are appealing? It's not like the Padres are going to win next season anyway. Why make this move, for this price, now?
I guess it doesn't matter that much. And Kotsay's an okay player. So, okay. Now I'll leave you with a much more interesting story about a National League fourth outfielder.

Southwest Georgia Regional Airport leaders are waiting for official word, but legislation Congress passed Friday could keep Albany's control tower open.
The measure will end furloughs of air traffic controllers that caused flight delays around the country.
It allows the FAA to use up to $253-million from airport improvement funds to end the furloughs.
The money could also be used to keep small airport towers open, though right now Albany's tower is still set to shut down.
Some bad news though.
The move could take money away from future airport projects.
"The demolition of the old terminal, it may impact us there, but we won't know that until the start of the new fiscal year for how much money is available and the fiscal year doesn't start until October 1st for the federal government," said Southwest Georgia Regional Airport Deputy Director Ken Johnson.
Right now, the Albany tower is scheduled to close June 15th.
City officials are mulling over the idea of taking over operations, but that would cost city taxpayers about a half million dollars a year.

Bennington man charged with human trafficking of a teenBy Patrick McArdle
STAFF WRITER | February 05,2013BENNINGTON — A local man is facing charges of aggravated human trafficking and repeated aggravated sexual assault on a child, a crime punishable by a mandatory minimum sentence of 25 years in prison, after police said he had sexual contact with a teenage boy between 2009 and 2012.
Peter A. Goewey, 60, of Bennington, was arraigned in April 2012 in Bennington criminal court on felony charges of repeated aggravated sexual assault on a child, possession of child pornography and attempting to lure a child into sexual exploitation.
On Tuesday, the state added the charges of aggravated human trafficking of a person younger than 18 and promoting the creation of a sexual photograph of a child. The first charge carries a mandatory minimum term of 20 years in prison.
Goewey pleaded innocent to the charges. He continued to be held without bail as he has been since April 27.
Daniel McManus, a Bennington attorney who represented Goewey, asked the court to review its decision to find probable cause for the human trafficking charge because he said he thought it was "clear the intent of the statute is not what is alleged here."
However, Judge Cortland Corsones said he reviewed the statute and found that it was "very broad." Corsones said he found it appropriate because the law says no person shall "recruit (or) entice (someone younger than 18) for the purpose of engag(ing) in a commercial sex act."
Goewey is accused of giving the teenager money for taking nude photographs of himself and sending them to Goewey.
In the original affidavit filed in the case, Detective Anthony Silvestro, of the Bennington Police Department, said he met with a teenager, who was 14 at the time, on April 25, 2012.
The teenager said he met Goewey at the Bennington Lanes Bowling Alley in 2011 and continued to have contact with him through January 2012.
Christina Rainville, chief deputy state's attorney for Bennington County, said on Tuesday that further investigation had shown the teenager and Goewey had contact starting in 2009. Phone records indicated that the teenager had sent Goewey pictures of himself in March 2012.
The teenager said he met Goewey while playing pool. After the first few pool games, he told police, Goewey started to touch him.
According to the teenager, on later visits to the bowling alley, which he described as "the worst," Goewey would ask the teenager to get something from his car. Then Goewey would follow the teenager out of the building, have him get in the car and pulled the car around to the back of the building where Goewey would touch the teenager.
The teenager said Goewey asked him to take nude photographs of himself with his cellular phone and send the to Goewey's phone. According to the affidavit, Goewey gave the teenager $40 for sending the photographs and offered him $50 not to tell anyone what had happened.
In a written statement, the teenager said he neither asked Gowey to touch him nor gave him permission.
The teenager said Goewey "showed up" at his school bus stop twice. After those incidents, the teenager said he stopped taking the bus to school.
Silvestro said Goewey declined to speak with him about the accusations.
In a subsequent affidavit, Silvestro said a detective from the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force had retrieved a nude photograph, believed to be of the teenager, from a cellular phone seized from Goewey's home during a search on April 26.
According to Silvestro, Goewey was charged in 1995 with sexual assault and later pleaded guilty to an amended charge of prohibited sexual acts.

NEW ORLEANS - An assistant attorney general for the state of Louisiana says the former St. Tammany coroner could face time in state prison as well as federal prison.
The AG's office is taking an independent look at some of the allegations of misspending exposed in a series of FOX 8 investigative reports.
Peter Galvan already faces up to five years in federal prison for conspiring and taking public money for his personal use.
Galvan will be sentenced on the federal charges next month after pleading guilty Wednesday, but now it looks as though he could face state charges, as well.
"There's no jeopardy because it's a separate sovereignty," said FOX 8 legal analyst Joe Raspanti. "Sometimes, people have a hard time understanding that. They can do this prosecution if they want to."
Assistant State Attorney General David Caldwell told FOX 8's Lee Zurik: "We will take an active independent look at the case. What happened in federal court won't impact the state."
"To come in the day after pleading guilty in state court, he has every right to, but I don't think it's the right thing to do at this stage of the game," said Raspanti.
But the attorney general's office says it was waiting for the new legislative audit, which gives more details on the misspending of public money. Among other findings, Galvan spent over $4,600 on jet fuel, charts and flying lessons; over $3,600 on an inauguration party, and $2,000 for a trip to New York.
"I really can't described this kind of arrogance that people have," said St. Tammany Parish resident Belinda Parker Brown.
Some believe anger over the coroner's abuses on the Northshore could sway a Tammany judge to give Galvan a stiffer sentence in state prison.
For his part, Galvan has never offered an explanation.
But we could learn more at a state trial, now that the attorney general believes there's enough there to proceed.
There's no word on whether the attorney general will present the audit findings to a state grand jury to consider a possible indictment, or if he will file a bill of information, as the feds did.
He has both options.

A Gloucester lawmaker is pushing for special license plates for state residents serving in the armed forces.
Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr, R-Gloucester, and state Rep. James E. Vallee, D-Franklin, announced Friday that they will file legislation requiring the Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) to provide special active-duty license plates to Massachusetts residents currently serving in the U.S. Armed Forces.
The men's proposal would allow full-time active duty military personnel serving in the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard or Air Force to request a distinctive emblem from the RMV designating their branch of service.
The emblems, which would be subject to a fee of not more than $35 to cover production costs, would be designed to be affixed to the license plates of private passenger motor vehicles and motorcycles.
"Our state has always had a strong legacy of men and women serving our country and protecting our freedoms," Tarr said in a prepared statement. "And since the terrorist incidents of Sept. 11 (2001), their sacrifices have been substantial.
"Now, more than ever," he continued, "it's important that our state give official recognition to the servicemen and -women who make us proud every day to be Americans. The distinctive license plates created by this proposal will also allow all of us to understand who these brave men and women are, and to offer our gratitude whenever possible."
"These plates will serve as small, daily reminders of the big contributions our military personnel make to the commonwealth and the country," said Vallee, who serves as House Chairman of the Legislature's Joint Committee on Veterans and Federal Affairs.
Tarr and Vallee are hoping to draw strong bipartisan support for their bill by making it available for co-sponsorship to their colleagues in the House and Senate.
Connecticut recently passed similar legislation. Ohio also allows active duty military personnel to receive special recognition on their license plates.

The Guardian of London has a short but poignant editorial on why the United States, despite a long string of terrible gun-driven tragedies, can't seem to control guns. The rest of the world seems baffled, too.
By the way, Virigina was one of only two states that as recently as 2004 was defying the U.S. Supreme Court and enforcing anti-sodomy laws. So it's perfectly okay to buy guns and kill people in that great state, but you can going to jail for being gay.

It's clear that despite the NFL's best efforts to make more stringent and closely monitored guidelines on players' safety regarding concussions, teams are getting a little foggy with the rules and with information pertaining to these ailments.
Concussions became the injury story of Week One. Eagles QB Kevin Kolb, Panthers QB Matt Moore, Eagles LB Stewart Bradley, Giants TE Kevin Boss and Bears LB Hunter Hillenmeyer all sustained concussions, and the practices of their respective teams have come into question.
First there was the report that Eagles trainer Rick Burkholder never examined Bradley, who stumbled on the field like a man who should be nowhere near a game after being concussed, before he went back on the field. The Eagles quickly pulled Bradley and Kolb, who wanted to return to the game after being driven to the turf face first by Packers LB Clay Matthews, off the field.
Both men have failed their first post-concussion tests but are said to be "feeling better." It's not clear if either man will play Sunday against the Lions, but why risk it?
Other teams have been foggy on their concussion histories.
The Giants adamantly claimed last year that Boss did not suffer any concussions last season, but then just Monday head coach Tom Coughlin explained that Boss had suffered one last season. When called out on it, Coughlin seemed to explain that the media was asking about a different concussion that happened at a different time.
The Bears claimed Hillenmeyer did not suffer one, either, this preseason. Then Tuesday they promptly placed him on injured reserve with — you guessed it — a concussion. Hillenmeyer was upset, naturally, but the Bears said they were erring on the side of caution. It makes you wonder, though, why they were misleading about it at first.
"Player health and safety has and always will be a priority with our organization," Bears GM Jerry Angelo said. "Unlike other injuries, there is no defined timetable for a concussion. After consulting with our doctors and Hunter, this was the best way to proceed. We will miss his contributions this year, but it is the right decision given Hunter's circumstances."
I have never been given a good reason why there are not one or two exemption spots on a roster for injured players who could return later in a given season. If a player suffers an eight-week injury, let's say, the team is forced into a brutal decision: eat up a roster spot and wait, or put him on I.R., ending the season of a player who could help for the stretch run.
For me, this is tailor-made for concussions. Because there is no clear timetable for a return, leave a roster exemption open for these kinds of injuries with a ton of gray area.
Recent reports have exposed two ugly stories: One, concussions have been linked to increased rates of suicide in football players, and two, concussions in sports in general are on the rise. If you're looking for an Achilles heel for the Golden Goose of the NFL and what could knock it off its perch, here's one of them. People will not stand for players' health, especially their mental health, being compromised. The NFL has tried to combat the issue, but it's clear that more pressure must be put on teams for better transparency here.
My guess as to why teams are being so foggy? They want to cover their tails. The more they admit publicly, the more they are responsible for the players' health and actions thereafter. If a coach or trainer or doctor clears a player who then suffered further head damage, the flood gates could open.
But I would argue that transparency on these issues would act as a self-policing mechanism for coaches and teams. They know that with independent testing from outside the clubs, which now is mandated by the NFL, they can't skirt the rules. And if the rules and testing are clear, there is no need to hide anything.
This is a subtle, complex issue that will play into the way the next CBA is written up, no question — and it should.

A Christian radio host who enthusiastically looks for signs the world will end welcomed the Ebola virus as a cleansing force.
"This Ebola epidemic could become a global pandemic and that's another name for plague," said broadcaster Rick Wiles on his "Trunews" program.
"It may be the great attitude adjustment that I believe is coming," Wiles continued. "Ebola could solve America's problems with atheism, homosexuality, sexual promiscuity, pornography, and abortion."
Wiles was enthusiastic Tuesday about the arrival of Ebola, but Right Wing Watch reported that he warned the previous day that President Barack Obama may intentionally spread the deadly virus through a mandatory and mysterious vaccine.
That would somehow then allow Obama to declare martial law and force Americans into FEMA camps, the religious right broadcaster theorized.
"If Ebola becomes a global plague, you better make sure the blood of Jesus is upon you, you better make sure you have been marked by the angels so that you are protected by God," Wiles warned. "If not, you may be a candidate to meet the Grim Reaper."

Claiming gays promote child rape, pedophilia.
Children and teenagers can handle a lesbian or gay orientation within themselves. What they cannot handle is the trauma of concealing it, not being able to express it or talk about it, and the negativity surrounding it by others around them.

Religious people will say that being gay is bad for your mental health, and then they'll work tirelessly to make it true.
Controversy at a Catholic High School in Charlotte, North Carolina after Sister Jane Dominic Laurel told students that masturbation causes homosexuality at a school wide assembly last week.
Sister Laurel, a professor of theology at Nashville's Aquinas College, is being widely condemned after forcefully denouncing homosexuality with outdated statistics, prejudiced stereotypes and other extremist claims.
A Charlotte Catholic student describes the lecture:
She started talking about how gays [sic] people are gay because they have an absent father figure, and therefore they have not received the masculinity they should have from their father … Also a guy could be gay if he masterbates [sic] and so he thinks he is being turned on by other guys. And then she gave an example of one of her gay 'friends' who said he used to go to a shed with his friends and watch porn and thats why he was gay. … Then she talked about the statistic where gay men have had either over 500 or 1000 sexual partners and after that I got up and went to the bathroom because I should not have had to been subject to that extremely offensive talk.
Televangelist Pat Robertson on Wednesday argued that Jesus would have never baked a wedding cake for LGBT couples because it was more common to stone homosexuals during biblical times.
After a CBN report on a Colorado baker who supported an Arizona bill that would have allowed businesses to discriminate against LGBT couples, Robertson reflected on how Jesus would have responded if a gay couple asked him for a wedding cake.
"I think you've got to remember from the Bible, you look carefully at the Bible, what would have happened in Jesus' time if two men decided they wanted to cohabitate together, they would have been stoned to death," he explained. "So, Jesus would not have baked them a wedding cake, nor would he he have made them a bed to sleep in because they wouldn't have been there."
"But we don't have that in this country here," the TV preacher lamented. "So, that's the way it is."
Robertson opined that homosexuality was considered to be a "pathology" only "a few years ago," and now LGBT people were "the oppressors" of religious people.
"What is it about gays, what is it about abortion?" he asked. "Both of them deny the reproduction of human species."
"It's as if the devil is saying, 'I'm going to destroy your progeny any way I can, and if you will kill your baby, that's fine. I'm with you. If you will deny the chance of having babies, that's fine too, but I want to destroy your opportunities to reproduce,'" Robertson continued. "As a society, we need to realize where the attack is coming, because it is definitely an attack."
"Jesus said, 'I came to give life, and the devil want to steal, kill and destroy,'" co-host Wendy Griffith agreed.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — While Arizona Gov.

Roger Ross Williams belonged to an organization called International House of Prayer in Missouri, whose missionary zeal fell on gays in Uganda. He decided to make a film about what he learned called "God Loves Uganda."
Someone like evangelist Scott Lively is "an extremist in America," Williams said, "but when he goes to Uganda he gets taken seriously because of what he represents."
"He's an American evangelical, and what an American represents in a place like Uganda – it represents power and wealth."
"So he goes to Uganda and he can command the president, he can command the parliament for five hours. He did a three-day conference, where he told everyone about the threat of homosexuality, that they were there to recruit their children."
"And that's what really sort of started this whole bill on its, where it is now, today, this sort of tragic day."

Muslim Association of Malawi (MAM) are calling for homosexual people in the country to be given the death penalty.
This suggestion comes at a time as some Civil Society Organisations (CSO) are pushing for the country to abolish the statute that penalise the act. Currently the maximum jail term sentence for those found guilty by the courts is 14 years.
In what will be viewed as stirring up hatred on the grounds of sexual orientation, MAM Secretary General Dr Salmin Omar Idrussi is advancing that homosexuality should remain criminalised and the maximum sentence should be pegged at death.
"Although Malawi is regarded as a secular state but the country is blessed with God fearing citizens who can't afford to deviate from God's commandments for the sake of pleasing others who practice the act,'' Idrussi is quoted by malawimuslims.com an official website for Malawi Muslims…

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- Blasting for the East End Bridge tunnel begin Thursday afternoon. There will be one blast around 2 p.m. and another at the same time Friday.
For safety reasons, traffic at the intersection of U.S. 42 and Kentucky 841 will be stopped in all directions for about 5 to 20 minutes prior to the blasts. Next week, the blasting will become more frequent.
It's being done to build the 1700-foot tunnel under U.S. 42 and the Drumanard Estate. Blasting will be done after the morning rush hour and before the evening rush to try to minimize major backups.
The blasting will continue through the middle of 2015.

PHOENIX (AP) - A federal appeals court says a key legal issue remains unresolved regarding whether a southern Arizona tribe was rightfully awarded reservation status for its planned casino site near Glendale. The court says the U.S. Interior Department must consider anew whether a federal law on land acquisitions by the Tohono O'odham Nation prohibits adding the site to the tribe's reservation. An earlier ruling granted reservation status for the 54-acre site. The property is an unincorporated island bordered on three sides by Glendale, and at issue is how to interpret part of a federal law on land acquisitions by the tribe. Tohono O'odham Nation Chairman Ned Norris Jr. said the tribe is "very pleased" by the ruling. The Tohono O'odham Nation unveiled its plans for the massive resort and casino in 2009.

Similarly, if a legally incorporated company, such as "ABC Construction, Inc.," intends to do business as Acme Construction, the company must attach a Certificate of Assumed Name to the license application. The Certificate of Assumed Name is required to provide information to the public about the true identity of the business owner.

e-Licensing surcharge is in effect
Licensing surcharge to be assessed
The Minnesota Legislature passed legislation requiring a 10% surcharge of no less than $5 and no more than $150 on each business, commercial, professional or occupational license. The funding from this surcharge will go to MN.IT Services (formerly Office of Enterprise Technology (OET)), which is establishing an electronic licensing system for the state. The surcharge will be in place through June 30, 2015. See Minn. Stat. § 16E.22.
Period of Issuance:
The license period for residential building contractors, remodelers and roofers is April 1 through March 31 each year. All licenses expire March 31 of each year, even if the license was issued for only a part of the license period. To maintain an active license, all licenses must be renewed by March 31 each year, whether the license was issued for all or a portion of the license period.
Length of Determination Process:
30 days.
Other Pertinent Information:
See Minn. Stat. § 326.83-.998.
The licensing program requires only companies to obtain a license (therefore, in the case of an individual, the license is issued to an "individual proprietorship"). Each company, however, must designate one individual who will serve as a "Qualifying Person" regardless of whether the licensee is an individual proprietorship, partnership or corporation. The Qualifying Person is the individual who must take the required examination and fulfill the continuing education requirements for the licensee.
Also review the DLI information, Construction Contractor Registration.

Newton said 16-year-old Chamone McGraw was killed instantly after being struck by a northbound CSX train near Cline Street around 6 p.m.

Newton said McGraw died of blunt force trauma and the death has been ruled accidental.
The Newberry City Police Department and the Newberry County Coroner's Office is investigating.

Bincha, I still have the TTO, mostly only use the mouthwash before oral, and the TTO before and after sex. Don't really know why I'm using it, don't think it really helped much. And I never bought the Primal Defense, so can't say anything about that. I'm waiting for my prescription to get here sometime this fricken year, so I can at least kill this shit, and then try to maintain it again. Sassy, you should definatley try the vitamin C, because remember we are all different. I have full blown B.V. right now, and again, I truly don't think these preventative things we do, take it away. That's just been my experience.

I guess "uncomfortably dry" would be the phrase I'd use.
The dryness only lasted for about 5 hours, though. I'm ovulating, however, and there's always "extra" discharge when that's going on.
I'll use it just for that one benefit, though. I get so tired of walking around with the pantyliners on all the time.

Sassy, if you read up on it, it is one of the biggest side effects of using Vitamin C. I didn't get a yeast infection, just burning so bad that I can't explain it, and the smell is there 10 fold. There's a website you can go to that sells Vaginal Vitamin C made by "Total" and it is only 250mg. So, the 500 may be to hard on the kitty. At least it was on me. And to bleed, after not having periods for over 5yrs, is scarey. I'm debating on buying the Vaginal Vitamin C, but, still waiting for the other crap to get here. The Flagyl or whatever it's called. Once I'm done with that, I'm headed to the doctor. I'm bloated, and have other things going on now. Oh, had sex today, and no smell. So, who knows, maybe the vitamin c did work, or is it the Apple Cidar Vinegar pills I found, which by the way, causes diahrea. (Just an FYI) lol. Bye

neverending: Thanks for the info. Do you think I should use an applicator to put the vitamin C in my vagina? I'm not sure how to deep to insert it...I was planning on doing it overnight. Did anyone else experience yeast infections? I just am very hesitant to trade in BV for yeast, if you know what I mean.

Ok, girls!
I went to the Post Office today and picked up the Jamu stick.
It came in what I thought was a "plain brown wrapper," but--when I turned the package over, there it was--plain as day--"herbal soap" labeled on a BRIGHT GREEN sticker. Yeah.
So, it's shaped like a cigar. Tapered at both ends. Off white, with a few specks in it that are black/grey. Has no scent. It's not like a "soap." It's more like a stick of chalk, but doesn't have the feel of chalk. It's more like a stone, in fact!
Ok, so I'm supposed to stick this thing in there, about 2 inches I guess, and swish it around, then rinse thoroughly.
Yeah. So I wet the stick, after thoroughly cleaning the "area." I insert it, and swish it around, for probably like 15 seconds or so.
What I immediately begin to notice, is that my girl starts to "grab" onto this thing, right? Like she's lost ALL of her lube/discharge, whatever.
Then I pick up my trusty clear water douche, and go to rinse this stuff out of there. Yeah. Suddenly, there's no acceptance of the douche nozzle on the part of my girl. Almost none. She doesn't have room for the nozzle, nor does she want to even think about it. She's dry, and tight...but not like "muscle tight," more like--hard to explain--and it's a kind of--DRY tight.
Ok. So I'm rinsing her with the plain water, and then I go to dry off the Jamu stick. Like I said, it's more like a stone/chalk like substance. I notice a little bit of the chalky liquid (very miniscule amount) on my fingers, but that just seems to be the stick itself melting away a little with water. It rinses clean very easily, and washes off my hands quickly, with plain water. It's all dry now and back in it's box.
I'm inclined to think at first that it's alum. But, coming from an old Southern background, I've done my share of canning vegs/fruits.
When you touch alum to your tongue, it immediately begins to draw and tighten on your tongue, and it stays there for a while, with that effect.
This is not alum. This stuff is very sour tasting, and does not have a "drawing up" effect on the tongue. Nor does it have a lasting taste. (I only touched the tip of my tongue to the thing, to see if indeed, it was just plain alum...)
I don't know what to expect, but after that initial use, I can say that my girl's all nice & dry. EERILY DRY. I have almost forgotten what it feels like to be free of a discharge.
If all I get from this thing is *freedom from a DISCHARGE* for a while--it's *WORTH THE PRICE* of admission for me!
As for the odor? I'll have to give that a few days to see. Right now, (4 hours past using the stick) she's odor-free...but that could just be from a good cleaning.
I'll let Y'all know more, as I will use this thing for a while & see what happens!

Hi ladies,
I've been missing in action for a few months. Wanna know why....i thought i was cured. Then...one night...i had sex....and BOOM! my "stuff" exploded!...just kidding. but that sure as hell what it feels like. i was doing the cranberry juice, vitamin, yogurt regimine. I cant tell if the irritation is yeast or BV. Now...i've got to pay to go the doctor. Since when has it started to cost to have sex. I missed the memo that read "have sex, pay the doctor". Also, could it be that i soaked after sex in epsom salt that has caused the irritation? Thoughts?

No, can't find the Chlorella anywhere here, so I guess I will have to order it online. I did find Apple Cider Vinagar tablets today in the weight loss section at Walgreens. I bought those, thought it couldn't hurt. Can't handle the taste of the liquid. So, I'm using the vitamin C at night before I go to bed and there's no burning when I do it like that. If I use it and I'm walking around, it comes back out in the discharge and I think that's what was burning. So, smell seems to be gone, but who the hell knows anymore. I don't even remember what it's suppossed to smell like.

The Milwaukee Brewers have had a parade of players on the disabled list this season, with injuries ranging from hamstrings to quads to obliques, but the one that happened to catcher Jonathan Lucroy has to top the list, given that it did not happen during a game, but when a suitcase fell on his hand in his Los Angeles hotel room.
The news went from wacky to worse. Tom Haudricourt:
The Brewers' avalanche of injuries crossed over to the bizarre side Monday when it was revealed that catcher Jonathan Lucroy, one of the hottest hitters in the National League, suffered a broken right hand in an accident in his hotel room the previous evening. Lucroy will be out four to six weeks, becoming the seventh current player on the disabled list.
"It's not going too well in that area," said manager Ron Roenicke, who could barely enjoy a 3-2 nail-biter over the Los Angeles Dodgers. "Obviously, it hurts our team a lot. I feel really bad for him. And he feels really bad about it."
The Brewers recalled Martin Maldonado, who was hitting .198 at Triple-A Nashville, to replace Lucroy on the roster. And he'll be pressed right into action:
With backup catcher George Kottaras hobbled somewhat by a sore hamstring, Roenicke said Maldonado will do most of the catching for awhile.
Lucroy was one of the NL's top hitters in May with a .388 average this month. Insert "when it rains, it pours" cliché here.

The Packers learned Tuesday evening that seven of their players need to book tickets to Honolulu for this season's Pro Bowl. The team's "Magnificent Seven" are: QB Aaron Rodgers, WR Greg Jennings, FB John Kuhn, OLB Clay Matthews, NT B.J. Raji, C Scott Wells and CB Charles Woodson.
Kuhn, Matthews, Rodgers and Woodson were named starters for the NFC squad. The seven players are the most the Packers have had voted into the Pro Bowl since 1967. PK Mason Crosby was named first alternate.
For Rodgers, it marks the second Pro Bowl selection of his career (2009) and the first time he has been named the starter for the NFC squad. The seventh-year veteran leads the NFL in passer rating (122.5), touchdowns (45) and yards per attempt (9.25), and ranks No. 2 in completion percentage (68.3) and No. 3 in passing yards (4,643). His 45 passing TDs are a single-season franchise record and rank No. 4 in NFL history. His yardage total ranks No. 1 in team history.
Jennings earns his second consecutive Pro Bowl selection, making him the first Packers wideout to be honored in back-to-back seasons since Donald Driver in 2006-07.
Kuhn, who will be making his first Pro Bowl appearance, is the first Packers fullback to be honored since William Henderson in 2004.
Raji, a first-round draft pick by the Packers along with Matthews in 2009, also earns his first career selection. He is the first Green Bay defensive tackle to be selected to the Pro Bowl since Bob Brown in 1972.
Matthews earns his third Pro Bowl selection. He is the first Packer since RB John Brockington (1971-73) to earn Pro Bowl recognition in each of his first three seasons in the league.
Wells, a seventh-round draft pick by the Packers in 2004, earned his first career selection. He is the first Packers center to be named to the Pro Bowl since Mike Flanagan in 2003.
Woodson has earned his eighth career Pro Bowl bid and fourth straight as a member of the Packers. This will also be his fourth-straight Pro Bowl start. He is the first Packers cornerback since Herb Adderley (1963-67) to be selected to the Pro Bowl in four consecutive seasons.
Other alternates include LB Desmond Bishop, RS Randall Cobb, TE Jermichael Finley, WR Jordy Nelson, OG Josh Sitton and CB Tramon Williams.

(FOX 11) Beloved Orange County Pastor Rick Warren gave his first sermon at Saddleback Church, .since his son's suicide in early April.
"On the day Matthew died, Kay and I had this fear because we hadn't heard from him all day, that our greatest fear had happened," said Pastor Warren.
Pastor warrens wife, Kay Warren, also talked about the family's struggles.
"I would be an absolute total liar if I said to you that my hope was not severely disappointed when my son passed away," said Kay.
Saddleback is one of the largest mega churches in the country, with more than 20,000 followers. According to the church, about 6500 of those members were at Saturday's 4:30 service.
"It was awesome. Just really felt the love of his congregation and people wanted to be with him, just like a family member. He's helped us through so much we wanted to be there for him," said Deanna Maas, one of the people at the service.
"We're just here to support him and to let him know that we love him and we love his teaching," said Velina Carter, another member of the church.
Pastor Warren's son, Matthew Warren, shot himself at his Mission Viejo home April 5th. He was only 27. He reportedly used an unregistered gun he bought online.
"My son was robbed of his life by mental illness," said Pastor Warren.

After trash collectors took away some cardboard boxes for him, Wladyslaw Koza, 93, walked into the street to tip them. While Koza was standing behind the garbage truck, the driver backed into him. The truck dragged him about 30 feet before the driver's helper noticed Koza and alerted the driver.
Koza sustained a subdural hematoma and a degloving injury to his right arm. He lost consciousness soon after the accident and remained on a ventilator for 10 days until his death. His medical expenses totaled about $192,000. At the time of the incident, he was an active retiree who was renovating his home. He is survived by three adult children and six grandchildren.
Koza's son, on behalf of his estate, sued the owner of the truck, All Service Refuse Co., several related companies, the truck driver, and the temporary service that had hired him. The plaintiff contended that the driver was negligent in backing up the truck before ensuring that the area was clear and in violating All Service's policies, which prohibited backing up when it was not absolutely necessary and when there was no other crewmember keeping a lookout. The plaintiff contended that the driver was backing up the truck to pick up another member of the crew.
The plaintiff alleged vicarious liability against the All Service defendants based on their ownership of the truck and against the temporary service that employed the driver.
The defendants admitted liability on the eve of trial. The parties then settled for $1.15 million, including $1 million from All Service and $150,000 from the temporary service.
A medical bills lien was resolved for $44,000.

Plaintiff counsel: Crane A. Johnstone, Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

Steve Jobs: The Lost Interview
Bob Cringely did a memorable hour-long interview with Steve Jobs. It was 10 years since Jobs had left Apple following a bruising struggle with John Sculley, the CEO he had brought into the company. At the time of the interview Jobs was running Next, the niche computer company he had founded after leaving Apple. During the interview, Jobs was at his charismatic best - witty, outspoken, visionary. In the end, only a part of the interview was used in the series and the rest was thought lost. But recently a VHS copy was found in the series director's garage. Now, cleaned up with modern technology, and put into context, the interview can be seen in its entirety.

A.Energy and sustainable design consultant Andy
Shapiro responds: The dewpoint is not a location; it is the
temperature at which water will condense out of the air. Since
the dewpoint changes with the amount of humidity in the air, as
well as the air temperature, the dewpoint for a particular
temperature and relative humidity is best looked up in a table
or a psychrometric chart (see below).
Water from the air will condense on building components when
they are below the dewpoint of the air that's in contact
with them. Cold water pipes in hot, humid summers condense
water and drip. Uninsulated basement floors in hot, humid
summers are often below the dewpoint of the hot, moist outside
air, so water condenses on them if the space is open to the
outside. In an air-conditioned building in a warm, moist
climate like the southeastern U.S., the drywall can be below
the dewpoint of the outside air for months on end.
Just because a building component is below the dewpoint
doesn't mean there will be a problem. Vinyl window frames
and copper tubing aren't bothered by a little moisture.
On the other hand, wood window components and drywall
can't handle much moisture, especially if the wetting is
prolonged and there is no opportunity for the components to dry
Determining whether a component in a wall assembly will ever
get cold enough to permit condensation — that is, be
below the dewpoint — can be complicated. If each element
of a wall acted as a solid (which fiberglass doesn't),
then the calculation of the temperature at any point in the
wall assembly would be fairly easy. Halfway through the
insulation value of the wall, the temperature would be halfway
between inside and out.
In reality, such static calculations can be misleading,
since wall materials can absorb some moisture without being
damaged. More accurate calculations, called dynamic
calculations, take into account many additional factors but are
so complex that they are best performed with computer
A psychrometric chart provides the
dewpoint for any given air temperature and relative humidity.
Say you have a relative humidity of 50% at 70°F. On the
horizontal scale, locate the air temperature and move up to the
curve that represents 50% relative humidity. Then move left to
the saturation curve and down to find the dewpoint —
50°F in this case.
The good news is that this type of dynamic calculation is
usually not needed — as long as builders employ good
building practices that keep inside air out of walls in cold
climates and outside air out of walls in cooling climates, and
allow building components that occasionally get damp to dry
out. One very good source for building details that avoid
moisture damage is the Builder's Guide series from
Building Science Corp. (978/589- 5100;www.buildingscience.com).

On cask at the Farmhouse in Emmaus PA. Appeared a hazy yellow with a short, thin head. I always love a good keller beer and this is possibly the best. The beer has a rich mix of spicy, dry hops and earthy yeast character. On top of that there's a mild wild character that tastes like it's straight from a funky Fantome bottle. The flavor is rich enough that you could sip it all night long, but light enough that you could make a great session of it. I need to go drink more of this.

Poured from tap into a Sly Fox Bockfest mug at the 2011 Goat Races.
A: A hazy murky straw yellow color with a one finger crisp white head. Not much glass lacing.
S: Grassy hops, grains, bready malt, some honey sweetness and some lemon zest and citrus notes.
T: Nice grassy hops come first and really stand out. They get complimented right away with grain and straw flavors mixed with the lemon zest. The finish turns bitter with the sweetness standing tall. Nice clean crisp finish that is not overly bitter. This is a softer more balanced version of the Pikeland and a very good one at that!
M: Crisp, clean, hoppy, some bitterness and of course no alcohol.
O: Another great pils variety from Sly Fox, like I expected anything less. As I said, softer and more subtle than the Pikeland, but still outstanding.
I found myself going back for more of the Keller at the Goat Races. Of all the great German style beers they had on tap (including the Maibock) this one was my favorite. A fantastic beer!

On tap at Sly Fox Phoenixville on 10/26/08.
A - Slightly hazy golden straw-colored body with almost one finger of bright white head that diminished into a patchy film but left lots of lacing all over the glass.
S - Prominent grassy and citrus hop presence with hints of earthy herbs and lemon zest. While this has an obvious citrus character, it is balanced with a biscuity malt.
T - This is an extremely grassy pils with plenty of citrus flavor backed by a buttery biscuity maltiness.
M - Light to medium body with an oily texture and quite the crisp hop bite that is bitter but well-balanced. Finishes with a lingering yet clean hop bitterness.
D - In my opinion, Sly Fox's forte is making great pilsners and lagers, and this one is no exception. This is a solid Keller Bier with tons of flavor and a crisp, refreshing hop bite.

PLATTSBURGH — Martin Luther King Jr. raised Peter Slocum's awareness of socio-political issues.
"... of reality in the country to large parts of the population, including myself, and also the awareness that individual and community action can make an enormous difference," the Keene man said.
"That gave me a different sense of political power and the importance of citizen activism."
The former anti-war protester, journalist and community activist is the keynote speaker at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Commission's annual celebration to honor the iconic civil-rights leader on today.
The event, at 1:30 p.m., features speakers and live music at the Blessed John XXIII Newman Center, 90 Broad St., Plattsburgh.
Born in Troy, Slocum grew up in the Albany area, he said, "in a very liberal, democratic household.
"But I was not sort of aware of community-protest activities when I was a kid."
In college in the mid 1960s, though, he became involved in anti-war demonstrations.
"I was clearly inspired by the civil-rights movement," he said.
"I was involved in the first significant anti-war protest march in Washington in 1965. I was certainly inspired by the March on Washington."
Fearful he would get drafted into the Vietnam War, however, Slocum enlisted in the U.S. Army and was stationed in Wurzburg in Germany, located between Frankfurt and Nuremberg.
"I was an infantryman for a while," he said. "Then, I became a clerk in a division headquarters. We were guarding from possible Soviet invasion."
He longed to work for the U.S. Army's Stars & Stripes newspaper but ended up a clerk typist.
"I had to wait until I was out of the army to become a newspaper man," he said.
From 1971 to 1982, Slocum worked for the Washington Park Spirit, a community newspaper in Albany. Subsequently, he worked for the Troy Record, Associated Press and then the New York Daily News.

There's room for dining right on the balcony. Check out the photos. You'll see what I mean. Imagine stepping out here and enjoying that afternoon delight! A drink I mean.

Some Inside Information on Destin from Sunny:
Destin is known as the World's Luckiest Fishing Village largely because of it roots as a top fishing destination and quick access to the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Destin boasts the largest charter fishing fleet in the state of Florida. But, there is much more to Destin than charter fishing. Destin has become a top beach vacation destination. Featuring sugar white sand beaches and emerald colored water, it is an absolutely beautiful area. The town itself offers upscale shopping, dining, and entertainment opportunities. In fact, you're right across the street from The Back Porch Restaurant (a Destin favorite), Much of the development of the area has been done with luxury lifestyles in mind. There are tons of things to do in Destin, water parks (think Big Kahuna), water sports rentals, parasailing, scuba diving, snorkeling, power boating, sailing, fishing, tennis, shopping, or just plain relaxing on one of the world's most beautiful beaches. You'll want to come back again and again!

CHICAGO -- Ike Davis thought he tagged out Steve Clevenger at first base on a throw from catcher Josh Thole in the eighth inning of a one-run game Tuesday night.
Davis took exception when he stood up and heard first-base umpire Manny Gonzalez call Clevenger safe, inadvertently tipping Gonzalez with his glove while arguing the call to earn an ejection in the middle of the play.
"I didn't say anything too revolting," Davis said. "I didn't mean to touch him. I was just using my hand as a gesture."
Davis said he couldn't believe Gonzalez said he missed the tag. Davis knew the importance of the call with two runners on and one out with one inning left for the Mets to make up the deficit.
"That's a huge out," Davis said. "They ended up scoring a run later that inning."
Darwin Barney, who was at second base when Thole made the throw to first, scored on a single by pinch-hitter Reed Johnson in the next at-bat.
Manager Terry Collins is confident the replay will show Davis' contact with the umpire was an accident, but he wasn't surprised at Davis' reaction.
"When you're playing for something and we're in the ballgame, got the ninth inning coming up, a chance to win the game still, you make a play, think the guy's out, there's nothing wrong with playing with some emotion," Collins said.

Famicos Foundation, Marous Brothers Construction, City Architecture, and Ted Sande, AIA Emeritus, for the preservation and rehabilitation of the 1904 Doan School at 1350 East 105th Street in Cleveland as the Doan Classroom Apartments
Doan Elementary School sits at the heart of Cleveland's Glenville neighborhood, an area that suffered from the civil unrest of the 1960s and the disinvestment and abandonment that followed.
Now known as Doan Classroom Apartments, the project is a keystone in a coordinated development initiative that is bringing new investment and renewed life back to this diverse community. This project is integrating historic preservation and affordable housing together to recreate a livable neighborhood that complements new institutional development nearby.
The original 1904 school was expanded in the 1950s, when international-style classroom wings were added. It was converted into apartments in 1985 but eventually fell into disrepair, which accelerated rapidly once the building was vacated in 2008.
The Famicos Foundation, a non-profit housing developer and neighborhood development corporation, purchased the building, and working with various professionals, Doan was successfully preserved and rehabilitated into 45 senior apartments that preserve remaining historic features, community amenities and modern living options, while incorporating cutting edge sustainable design strategies.
Care was taken to preserve the building's exterior character. Windows were restored using the original wooden sash that were carefully adapted to accept double pane glass and weather stripping. On the interior, 12-inch plaster crown moldings, discovered under the drop ceiling, were restored. Modern living units that take advantage of natural ventilation and light were created. The character of the mid-century wings was respected and re-established by re-opening shuttered windows and by the design of the ADA-accessible vestibule that was added.
In order to turn the dilapidated former school and its site into senior housing, the Famicos Foundation worked closely with the City of Cleveland and was able to utilize federal funding and tax credits including the historic rehab credit to make this project feasible. The former Doan Elementary School now provides gracious apartments for its residents. This project exemplifies the value in recycling an old building, preserving history in a diverse and rapidly changing Cleveland neighborhood and rebuilding an area around its heritage.
