text: John Potter fought for America, and now people from all over the world are fighting for him, as he tries to avoid eviction from the home he built when he returned from World War II. Potter helped defeat the Japanese in the Aleutian Islands campaign. He might not defeat the woman who wants him out of his modest home in Zaleski, Ohio. "That was my daughter that did this to me," Potter tells me. In 2004, Potter became ill and needed help from a loved one, so he turned to his daughter, Janice Cottrill. "My daughter was to go take care of my affairs," says Potter. "So I gave her power of attorney. She promptly went down to the courthouse and transferred every asset I had from my name into hers."" The loved one who is helping him now and who has since taken over power of attorney, is Jaclyn Fraley, Janice Cottrill's daughter, Potter's granddaughter. Fraley says she overheard some chatter last year about her mother wanting to sell the home and evict Potter, a former Zaleski mayor and Vinton County Sheriff. The chatter was confirmed when the eviction notice came in January. Fraley recently decided to move back home from San Diego to take up her grandfather's fight. In an effort to raise money to buy the home outright, Fraley started a crowd-funding website through GoFundMe.com, which started out slow, only to blow up once attention came from veterans' groups and the international media. The site raised $135,000, nearly three times the appraised value ($47,000) of the home. "It was an amazing story. It was an amazing thing that happened. So now we've been in the process of trying to buy back the house." Fraley says their offer of $47,000 to buy the home was countered with an offer from Cottrill to sell for more than $100,000, attorney's fees and a promise not to do anymore interviews about this dispute. Fraley and "Grandpa John" Potter, as he is known to neighbors and supporters worldwide, passed on that offer and requested a jury trial which was granted by a judge. A date for the trial has not yet been set. Ms. Fraley finds herself in a precarious position. She is between her mother and her grandfather, who is clearly winning the battle in the court of public opinion. The outpouring of support has come from people in Saudi Arabia, France, Scotland and many other places. They have donated money. They have sent hand-written letters. Letters of support come daily, and Potter says it doesn't get old. "This is just from this week," says Fraley, as she points to a batch of cards posted on the wall. "He wanted them put up where he could see them." "This is what keeps us going," says Potter, sporting his youthful demeanor with one foot up on the recliner. Fraley says her mother and grandfather have had arguments over visitation rights for his autistic son that may have caused some bad blood, but Fraley believes her mother is simply choosing money over family. "They seem to have no care what happens to him, or where he ends up. Their main focus is obtaining the home, and the money that would come from selling the home."

Gary Lineker spotted filming in Brighton
6:40am Tuesday 20th May 2014 in News
It was crunch time for an ex-footballer turned TV pundit as he arrived in Brighton for a film shoot.
Gary Lineker was spotted strutting his stuff for the cameras in Ship Street
yesterday morning.
Onlookers said the former England and Tottenham striker, who now fronts the
BBC's hit football show Match of the Day, was filming his latest Walkers Crisps advert.
But a spokeswoman from PepsiCo, owner of the Walkers brand, said: "We film ads with Gary all year round for a number of different campaigns
and products.
"You'll have to stay tuned to find out what today's shoot was for."

Excellent stuff Gary, working as the frontman for the BBC's football punditry obviously doesn't pay you enough so you advertise for one of the world's largest obesity making corporations, oh the irony, England's golden boot winner promoting England's fat children maker.
and i guess pepsico are pleased because his been the face of Walkers for a long long time ... ...

A large crowd is gathered in front of Old Main on the Penn State campus on Friday night to hold a candlelight vigil for the victims of the alleged sex abuse scandal that's rocked the football program, and the university as a whole, over the course of the last week. It's been one week since word of Jerry Sandusky's grand jury indictment was leaked, and details continue to emerge. Since the initial report, Penn State head coach Joe Paterno has been fired, university president Graham Spanier has resigned and many others are on leave.
But Friday night is a time for healing, for the Penn State students to come together peacefully and remember the victims. A crowd of around 10,000 was expected and judging by the photos from State College it would seem the projections were correct.

Here's a few from the other side.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

EPA to hold community meeting on toxics
Original post made on Nov 7, 2013
Read the full story here Web Link posted Wednesday, November 6, 2013, 3:56 PM
on Nov 7, 2013 at 10:14 pm
When I moved out here in 2006, this particular "news" outlet was maintaining that the TCE plume was limited to Moffett Field and a result of US Navy activity, which would've exempted the mess from EPA regulation. Now we hear it's the Whisman Triangle, Evandale, and Leong Drive, and it's the obvious suspects, the early semiconductor industry. It seems quite likely that the entire neighborhood over by Whisman and Tyrella is utterly contaminated with the outrageously potent carcinogen, TCE.
I wonder about Shockley's old lab on San Antonio, right by that glorious new piece of overdevelopment you've built. Is that silly horror at San Antonion and El Camino built on TCE contaminated ground?
on Nov 7, 2013 at 10:16 pm
It would be interesting to know the full extent of TCE contamination in this horrible little town.
on Nov 8, 2013 at 12:28 am
"It would be interesting to know the full extent of TCE contamination in this horrible little town. "
There is no interest in finding this out. If a homeowner tests for it and it comes back positive, then their house value will ***plummet***, since they will have to disclose it when they try to sell.
Likewise, businesses and even the city has to be careful, because if they test for it and it is present, then they (and we) will be liable.
It's interesting to note that even if the toxin isn't below your property, it percolates in gaseous form miles away. All those lovely utility pipes (the gaps between the pipe and settling soil) provide a nice little conduit for this carcinogenic badness...
Hold your breath!!!

As of Saturday, October 29, 2011

ALPHARETTA -- Usually when a team has less than 100 yards of offense in the first half, it has probably dug itself in a hole. The Wesleyan offense did in fact have the small yardage total on Friday night at Mount Pisgah in Alpharetta. But the Wolves were not doing any digging.
Wesleyan led 20-0 after two quarters. It is hard to rack up yardage when you don't have too far to go.
The Wolves dominated the Patriots 38-0 in a Region 5-A north matchup. Wesleyan's (7-2, 5-1) defense controlled the game, but it was the special teams that took it over.
The rainy, muddy, sloppy conditions can make kicking a challenge. But it was a nightmare for the home side. When Mount Pisgah was forced to punt, the kick was blocked, the punter was sacked, or the punt did not go very far.
The Wesleyan defense did its part to put the Patriots' punter in the cross hairs. They made their mark early, flying around the ball and stopping the guy who had it before he got started. Rhett Delk and Zander Yost each forced a fumble, while Dekl also had an interception. Fittingly, the final score of the game came on a safety by Jahmai Jones in the third quarter. Mount Pisgah (4-5, 3-3) only crossed midfield a couple of times.
The short field position meant the stats would not look good for Weslyan. Still, the touchdowns count for six points. The Wolves had four of those.
Brandon Gilliam started it with a one yard TD run in the first quarter. Eric Sunderman almost caught a touchdown pass in the second quarter, but he fumbled it in the end zone. Rodney Morris jumped on the football to make it 17-0. Wesleyan took a 26-0 lead in the third quarter after Morris caught a 49-yard TD pass of his own. Later in the third quarter, quarterback Will Anderson (12-for-24 195 yards) and Yost linked up for a 64-yard TD catch to give Weslayan a 33-0 lead.
Yost led the Wolves in rushing (four carries, 22 yards) and receiving (two catches, 74 yards).
The sloppy conditions, however, did not affect Wesleyan nearly as much. Sunderman was 3-for-4 on field goals, ranging between 25 and 35 yards. He only missed on one extra point.
The Wesleyan defense has held six of its past seven opponents to 14 points or less. The Wolves have won five in a row.

Catalytic combustion is a relatively new method of avoiding nitric oxide formation in gas turbine combustors. The goal of the catalytic combustion program at Berkeley is the development of a numerical model that can predict the performance of catalytic combustors in gas turbine applications. Catalytic reactors have been constructed to provide experimental data for comparison with model results.
The picture below is of a reactor undergoing Hydrogen Assisted Catalytic Combustion of Methane on Platinum at low pressure. The catalytic combustor does have the capability to operate at high pressure. The glowing wafers are characteristic of a high fuel conversion rate. Issues of investigation are the effects of pressure, reactant temperature and reactant composition on the rate of fuel oxidation.This project is a collaboration with researchers from the University of Heidelberg and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.

ARDMORE, OK-- It's the American dream to one day own your home, and for one
local veteran that dream came true Wednesday afternoon.
Ten year veteran Michael Larkin got the keys to his brand new home early
Wednesday afternoon in Ardmore.
The Madill native said it was an overwhelming feeling to now have a place to
call their own.
"I was kind of skeptical at first, I was like there's no way, I'm not
going to get a free house," said Larkin.
The home was awarded by the organization Operation Home front. Operation Home
front offers assistance to U.S. military throughout the country, but it's the
first time they awarded a home to a veteran family in Oklahoma.
"They're so many veterans, especially in the state of Oklahoma and to be
the first ones in Oklahoma to be given a house is almost as overwhelming as
getting the house," said Larkin.
Officials with the organization said the program started last February and
already they've awarded more than 200 homes to veterans. They said the
application process is simple.
"They can go on the website, they can put in an application, they can see
a list of our currently available homes and they start the process from
there," said Tabitha Garibaldi with Operation Home front.
Larkin said he will enjoy making memories in his new home.
"I don't cry at all, but I mean it does bring tears to your eyes I mean
them handing you the keys and saying this is your house for you and your

|What is ADaRSH?
|ADaRSH, Association for Development and Research of Sustainable Habitats, is an independent society for the interaction on scientific and administrative issues related to sustainable habitats in India. ADaRSH promotes GRIHA (Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment) as a design and evaluation tool for green buildings and habitats.
|What is GRIHA rating?
|GRIHA, an acronym for Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment, is the national rating system for green building in India. GRIHA has been conceived by TERI and developed jointly with the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Government of India. It is a green building 'design evaluation system', and is suitable for all kinds of buildings in different climatic zones of the country.
|What are the thresholds for different rating levels under GRIHA?
|What is the process of GRIHA rating?
Please refer the GRIHA Manual / www.grihaindia.org for details of the process.
|What is the size of project which can be registered under GRIHA?
|For projects to register with GRIHA rating their built up area should be equal to or greater than 2500 sqm.
|What are the prospects of projects less than 2500 sqm area?
|For projects with built up area less than 2500 sqm, a new rating system called SVA GRIHA (Small Versatile Affordable GRIHA) has been developed. SVA GRIHA is an extension of GRIHA and specially designed for smaller buildings.
|At what stage can the project be registered for GRIHA rating?
|The recommended time for registering the project with GRIHA is during the design stage, however projects which are in the beginning of the construction stage can also register, in case they can demonstrate compliance with all mandatory GRIHA criteria.
|Can a GRIHA rating be applied for an already build structures?
|No, GRIHA in its current version is applicable for new constructions only.
|Whom to contact if there is a problem in registering the project online?
|What is the registration fee and how is it calculated?
|For registration fees details.click here
|What are the modes of payment available?
|Modes of payment are as follows:-
|Is the fee submitted for GRIHA rating refundable?
|The fee once deposited is non-refundable
|What is a post registration orientation workshop?
|Once the project gets registered and the payment is received by ADaRSH, an orientation workshop for one day is conducted wherein the GRIHA rating system is explained to the entire project management team. Also, in the session the project team fills the target rating sheet, which helps the team to plan the project carefully and economically with regards to the GRIHA rating criteria.
|At what stage is the workshop conducted?
|The one day orientation workshop is conducted once the project is registered, i.e. client details and fees for private and government projects are received by ADaRSH.
|Who all must participate in the workshop?
|ADaRSH shall arrange for a workshop for the entire project team comprising of the owner, architect, MEP consultants, landscape consultants, project manager, etc., and the green building consultants.
|Where is the workshop conducted?
|The workshop can be conducted in TERI New Delhi or at the site/office location as preferred by the client.
|Is there any additional fee for conducting the workshop?
|There are no charges for conducting workshop at TERI New Delhi. If the workshop is to be conducted in any other location, the travel and accommodation of 2 professionals (to & fro) has to be arranged by the project proponent at their cost.
|What is the tentative agenda of the workshop?
|The workshop serves the dual purpose of awareness of GRIHA system for all involved and identification and evaluation of the optional criteria and applicability check to enhance the rating of the project. The outcome of the workshop shall be a roadmap for the GRIHA rating process along with identification of responsibilities within the project team for various GRIHA criteria. Targeted level of rating is identified for all on the team to design the project and implement accordingly.
|Can a CD/soft copy of the presentation for workshop be obtained by the client?
|Yes, a copy of the presentation can be obtained from ADaRSH on request in a pdf format only.
|Can the client access the web panel with project detail and how?
|Yes, the client can access the web panel with the USER ID and PASSWORD sent to the client after the one day workshop.
|Can separate training session be arranged for client's employees?
|Yes, the training session is possible; however a total number of participating candidates should be at least around 25 to 30.
|What are the contents of the GRIHA Manual?
|The GRIHA manual is a collection of 5 sets of volume developed by ADaRSH in association with TERI.
The first volume contains details on GRIHA rating system and a brief discussion on each criterion within the rating system.
The second, third and fourth volume contains detail description of each criterion with descriptive procedure for submission of documents to obtain GRIHA rating.
The fifth volume is a guide to the evaluator's process and the validation of the documentation submitted.
|Where can the GRIHA manuals be purchased and what is the cost?
|How does ADaRSH help the project management team to check that the site work is in compliance with GRIHA criteria?
|AdaRSH conducts 3 mandatory site audits during the construction period of the project. It provides a link between the evaluators and the site construction practices. Also it helps to keep a check of the site construction activity and quality. Generally, as a mandatory procedure 3 site visits are linked with the construction procedure and time line for the project. However, the number of site visits can be increased if a project needs more attention and hand holding to comply with GRIHA criterions.
|When is the site audit conducted?
|1st site visit is proposed at the time of the foundation building process of the project. This initial period is crucial for checking the green compliance of the project.
2nd site visit is proposed when the superstructure of the project is almost complete.
3rd site visit is the final site visit and conducted when the building is almost complete to check the installation of various systems on site as specified in the documents.
|Who conducts the site audit?
|The site audit is conducted by ADaRSH.
|Is there any specific agenda checked during the 3 site visits?
|1st site audit - The major criteria checked during the site visit include top soil preservation, tree preservation, prevention of air pollution, project management of site and provision of infrastructure facilities to the labor working and living on site.
2nd Site audit - The visit is conducted to ensure compliance with criteria evaluated during the first site visit along with additional construction related criteria such as waste and water management during construction of the project. The site visit helps to keep the site hygienic and clean. It aims at reduce, reuse and refuge factors of green buildings.
3rd Site audit - As the site visit is planned near the completion stage of the project, major points evaluated include the quality of interiors and products utilized in the building. Compliance with other criteria evaluated during previous site visits is also confirmed. A check is also conducted to ensure installation of renewable energy systems and implementation of the requirements needed to meet the Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC).
|How is the project management team informed about the short comings and recommendations on site?
|A brief report (due diligence) is prepared for all the 3 site visits by the coordinators and is uploaded online to the project site. These reports provide a database to both project management team to refer the short comings on the site and the evaluators to judge the development of the site with regards to the 3 site visits.
|What are the expenses involved during the site audit process?
|The travelling (to and fro) and accommodation expenses for 2 professionals from ADaRSH has to be arranged by the project proponent at their cost.
|When can the project submit the documentation?
|The documentation can be submitted when the supporting documents are ready and available to the project proponent.
|Can the documentation be submitted in parts?
|No. The entire documentation has to be submitted together and cannot be submitted in parts.
|What is the evaluation process?
|The building is evaluated for GRIHA compliance in a three-tier process.
The GRIHA team conducts the first review the mandatory criteria and may reject a project in the event of non-compliance with mandatory criteria. The team then checks the documentation submitted for the optional criteria. The checking is done by the GRIHA team to ensure that all templates and drawings are filled-in and to ensure that the documentation is complete in all respects (for the attempted criteria). All documents are checked and vetted through the appraisal process as outlined by GRIHA.
The GRIHA team compiles the first evaluation report and sends to the client. The client is required to resubmit details as requested for by the Secretariat in the first evaluation report. The documentation is then sent to the GRIHA evaluators comprising of renowned sector experts from landscape architecture, lighting and HVAC design, renewable energy, water and waste management, and building materials.
The evaluators vet the documentation and independently review the documents for the award of points. The evaluators award provisional points (if documentation is in order as per his/her evaluation) and also comment on specific criteria, if need be. The evaluation report is sent to the project proponent to review the same and, if desired, take steps to increase the score. The report elaborates on the results of the evaluation committee along with its comments. The report also lists the criteria for which the documentation is incomplete/inadequate/inconsistent, detailing all the required information.
The client is allocated one month to resubmit the document with necessary modifications. The resubmitted report should comprise only of additional documents/information desired in the evaluation report, which shall again be put through the vetting process as described above.
The evaluation committee shall then award the final score, which shall be presented to an advisory committee comprising of eminent personalities and renowned professionals in the field for approval and award of rating.
|What is the duration of the evaluation process?
|The evaluation process is a six week long process at the minimum. However, it may extend depending on the time taken by the client to re-submit information requested by ADaRSH / GRIHA Evaluator.
|How are the documents uploaded online?
|The documents are uploaded criterion wise on the internet portal available to the consultant appointed by the client.
|Who is an evaluator?
|An evaluator is a third party professional who is assigned the responsibility of evaluating documents.
|How can one become a GRIHA Evaluator / GRIHA Trainer?
|ADaRSH conducts 3 days Evaluator and Trainers programme across the country. During this programme, participants can take an evaluator or trainer exam.
|What is GRIHA provisional rating?
|The provisional GRIHA Rating is awarded after complete evaluation of project documentation submitted by the project proponents. The final rating is awarded after the building is fully commissioned as per the design intent and operational for at least 12 months. An energy audit report by an energy auditor accredited by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency needs to be submitted to ADaRSH to achieve the final rating.
|When is the energy audit conducted?
|Energy audit is conducted after one year of occupation of the building.
|Who conducts the energy audit?
|The energy audit is conducted by 3rd party team chosen by the client. The team members of the auditing team should be BEE certified.
|Should the project be fully commissioned for GRIHA rating?
|Yes, all the renewable energy technologies should be in working condition to be awarded the final GRIHA rating.
|What is the time period for which the project GRIHA rating is valid?
|The rating once granted is valid for a period for 5 years, after which it has to be renewed.
|Are there any products certified by ADaRSH for GRIHA rated green building?
|ADaRSH, Association for Development and Research of Sustainable Habitats, is an independent society for the interaction on scientific and administrative issues related to sustainable habitats in India. ADaRSH promotes GRIHA (Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment) as a design and evaluation tool for green buildings and habitats.
|What is SVAGRIHA System?
|SVAGRIHA (Simple Versatile Affordable GRIHA) has been designed as an extension of GRIHA for projects with built-up area less than 2,500 sqm. SVAGRIHA can help in design and evaluation of individual residences, small offices, and commercial buildings. The rating comprises of only 14 criteria.

WMDT 47 NEWS - A special task force in Worcester County called "Operation: Circle Of Trust" is now actively working to take down heroin dealers and users. But they admit they're noticing a troubling new statistic.
Addicts, as well as those selling heroin, are getting younger. This past September, undercover detectives in Worcester County, Maryland made 18 heroin related arrests. Of that number, exactly half are between the ages of 19 and 22.
About 8 years ago, Worcester County Drug Court coordinator, Tracy Simpson, started working with the program. At that time, she says she worked mostly with addicts of cocaine and crack cocaine. "Very rarely did I hear of anyone using heroin," admits Simpson.
It was 4 years later, when she started seeing the shift towards opioid abuse, when prescription drug abusers started making their way through the justice system. Law enforcement reacted, by cracking down on prescription drugs across the peninsula. "The pill market essentially dried up," explains Worcester County State's Attorney, Beau Oglesby, "and they had to basically turn their attention, or their focus, onto another source."
And that was heroin, a cheaper, more readily available, alternative. Oglesby tells WMDT about a decade ago, most of the heroin abusers who made their way through the justice system ranged in age from 35 to 50. But in just the last 2 years, more of the arrests were teens.
"What triggered it for me," remembers Oglesby, "was I started seeing people being arrested and prosecuted, by myself, that did not fit into the typical drug profile." Talking to these young people, prosecutors and health experts in Worcester County found out they were getting hooked on pills they found in their own homes.
"When they see something in a cabinet, or at a friend's house in a cabinet, or something that they think is safe, because it's a medication, why would they think that isn't safe?" explains Simpson.
But when the addiction sets in, and the pills run out, that's when things take a quick and dangerous turn. Simpson says it can take users as little as 1 to 2 years to go from pill poppers to full blown heroin addicts, "It's not a long process. I think people are under the misassumption that it is. But I have 19-year-olds who are intravenous users."
How are young people getting their hands on an elicit drug like heroin? Apparently it's not from a drug dealer on some street corner. Undercover officers tell WMDT the heroin drug trade has changed over the years, and those people dealing the drug aren't what you'd expect. In Part 3 of this special series WMDT talks with undercover detectives who share the inner workings of this troubling new trend.
WMDT's Emily Lampa goes inside the growing heroin epidemic. She gets an exclusive looks at what lawmakers and law enforcement officials are doing to stop the problem.

I think a honey/caramel shade looks really good on you. But how about a little darker? I can really picture you in a nice warm brown tone. Not dark brown, just a little darker.ReplyDelete
Although it's hard seeing that I've never met you in real life ^^
I think it would let your eyes glow even more.
Thanks ladies! As soon as I can get back home I'm gonna make an appointment!ReplyDelete
Mel: my natural color is a light golden brown. It's nice I just like change :)
Ok, that explains it. I have a hang for crazy colors like purple myself and I totally understand the need for change....there is just something about not wanting so stay with the natural haircolor. At least I have the problem. ^^ReplyDelete
can't wait to see your new hair. :)

Minted Kefir Fruit Salad
This cool, creamy fruit salad is an excellent tonic to a warm day. It is best served slightly cool, but it is also delicious at room temperature if it is a last-minute addition to the meal.
Serve this with brunch alongside the usual eggs and bacon. Or, turn it into dessert after a rich or spicy meal. The cooling effect works well with spicy dishes such as curries and spicy Mexican food.
Mix up the fruit to serve whatever is in season. Berries and stone fruits would be an excellent combination for summer.

Are you broke but need to barbeque for your Sunday football friends? (Assuming you have some) Are you tired of firing up the 'ole grill just for frozen hamburger patties? (a real crime, in my opinion) Because I'm an unemployed S.O.B. this happens to me all the time. Here's a simple cure;
I wrote this after the company I worked for closed down last year right at the start of football season. (I've since found a new job) It's the BEST I've ever grilled. I know you KC folks might have your own ideas, feel free to comment!
Unemployed Andy's London Broil
Get yourself a big hunk 'a London broil. (Sorry, don't mean to get too technical) When on sale London Broil is cheaper than chicken, like, a buck-ninety a pound at Stater Bros which is perfect for all you bums and moochers. Mow a few lawns or donate plasma to raise some coin then ask your mommy to drive you to the store.
Get on the 'Juice'
Get a big bowl and mix the following;
¼ cup of balsamic vinegar. Go ahead and insert the "ball" joke of your choice here or simply do your best Beavis and Butthead impression...Yeah-YEAH! He said BALLS!...hee-hee!)
1 shake of Tabasco. We don't really NEED the Tabasco, but I just can't cook anything without it. *Note, I know the urge to go crazy with the Tabasco may be overwhelming, try to control yourself. If you have no self control, try shaking 25 drops onto a spoon and lick away! It works for me. Wimps should have milk, bread, and a type "C" fire extinguisher handy. Bystanders should consult a dry-cleaner
¼ cup of red wine. Before you loot your little sisters piggy bank, two-buck Chuck is fine. If you don't know what that is, ask you daddy, if he doesn't know, ask Mr. Google. When dispensing the wine, the "one for you, one for me" method is acceptable. If you did this, and the Tabasco thing, add a bottle of Tums to your shopping list.
Garlic cloves. If you tolerate garlic, that's 2. Like it, 3. Want your girl to sleep in the other room, 5. Crush 'em, pulverize 'em, mince, 'em, or dice 'em, just make sure they've had there asses thoroughly kicked.
1 teaspoon of kosher salt. (That's the little spoon for the utensil challenged) And if you're wondering, no, I'm not Jewish, just get the kosher salt ya' schmuck!
3 tablespoons of soy sauce. No, I'm not Asian either, just trying to create a global appeal.
½ teaspoon of ground black pepper, Feel free to snort as much as you like! EYEEEE CARUMBA!
½ Teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce. Thank God for spell check. I mean come on, really, what's wrong with just "Shire Sauce" or "Chester Sauce". The guy who named it ought to be shot.
Let the Games Begin!
Beat your meat (Don't worry, mom was just trying to scare you with the whole blindness thing) A meat tenderizing hammer works great, a 5 lb sledge is too much. You're just trying to put some texture on it and soften it up a bit.
Say Victor! You have bested the London Broil in combat, now dip its carcass in the bowl of marinade and slosh it around. Don't waste your time sending that shirt you were wearing to the dry cleaner...that stain won't come out. Next, put it in a 1 gallon zip lock bag, poor the rest of the marinade in the bag, and bleed out as much air as possible. Stick in the fridge for at least 4 hours but 1 to 2 days is even better assuming that feeble brain of yours can plan that far ahead. Flipping it a few times is a good idea. If you flip it more then 6 times you clearly have obsessive compulsive disorder and should seek treatment from a qualified psychiatrist.
Burn Baby, Burn...
You need your grill set up with a very hot side and a "slightly cooler than normal" heat side. Either stack briquettes high on one side or lower a grill closer to the coals if you have a fancy-pants setup. Begin by placing the meat on the hot side to sear it. if your fire is hot enough it should only take a minute on each side, using your hand to test is discouraged, your buddies hand however, is an excellent tool. When flipping use tongs, not a fork, so you don't puncture the meat when you flip it. This is general order #1; don't puncture the meat...ever!
After a good searing cook it for 8 - 12 minutes on each side on the cool(er) side of the grill. I like it medium rare so I cook closer to 8 minutes on each. *Disclaimer* I may be asking a lot, but some common sense it required. If you found a 4 lb hunk of London Broil you may want a little more time on the fire, comprende amigo? Make sure you let it sit for two or three minutes after you take it off the grill before you slice it, this is a good time to get those Tums ready.
Like a Surgeon...
One-eighth of an inch thick....just like your wee-wee. I found a meat slicer on sale for $99 and recycled some bottles and cans to buy it. Lazier folks will have to use a good sharp knife. Cut it a bit diagonally across the grain. Put the slices in a crock-pot or in the oven on low heat to keep them warm if there's going to be a delay in serving them, the thin slices will get cold quickly, just like your girlfriend. *Note to the fellas' out there: Sorry about the use of "wee-wee" and "slicer" in the same sentence :-(
Serve with Au jus and Red wine. (If you didn't drink it all making the marinade) The two issues with London Broil we are curing with this recipe is the toughness and dryness. The marinade, tenderizing, and thin slices cure the first, the au jus fixes the second. You can find "just add water" au jus at the super market near the taco seasoning, I'm sure I've exceeded you mental capacity already so we'll go simple with the au jus. No need to soak the meat in the au jus, there will be plenty of flavor, but a quick dip before eating each bite adds the final juicy touch.
I guarantee you can't grill a better meal for 4 - 6 people for less. (The main course at least) I've fed 15 people for under $20 and had some left over which makes a great sandwich after being micro waved, just save some of the au jus too.
Enjoy, but have a good cardiac specialist with a defibrillator on call if your going to eat a lot of it real rare. Now go get a damn job, would ya!

Jesus....got to keep up on this thread, lot to catch up on..
12m on the snow and road yesterday, 6-7 tonight with the club tonight.
am also following P & D with a few tweaks,it helped me last year in the Anglesey mara, got me a GFA place for London.
KR.... just added my vote, good luck.
Thank you MsE. You and me both for the slow starts, good job we prefer distance races!!
You need to send some an anger management fairy over too.... I have got quite cross over on that SSX thread (the one that's not broken!)
For me, that is!!
Will read back now.....
Sounds like an interesting day Knight Rider, who was then responsible for coming up with the shortlist?
I would interpret 'general aerobic' as 'easy paced' running.
Welcome, new people
Keir, My time was 3.10.31 chip time. in Sept 2009. Too late to enter for this years,so its for London 2011.
the only tweaks i do to the P&D is that i sometimes alter the days depending on family and work commitments.
I do up the pace the last 5-6 miles on the long runs, but as stated many times its time on the feet that's most important.
Afternoon all.
Will have to go and read the SSX thread - not usually SueC who gets hot under the collar! Hope the back improves soon, btw.
Lovely 10M for me in the sunshine. Ground still pretty solid but a lot of the frost is going and I suspect the ice on the harbour will be gone by tomorrow afternoon. Treated myself to a run in my lightweights (Adizero Tempos - they have sparkly laces, too!) and averaged 7.11m/m, with the penultimate 2.5M @ 6.45s. One step further along the road back to marathon-fit.
Hi folks.
Been watching with interest over the last few days deciding whether to follow the jump from the old sub 3.15 thread or become a lurker in view of not having marathon planned until 2012.
Either way I wanted to pop in to say congrats KR, you have my vote - sounds like a great bootcamp session.
I will also be voting for the 3.27 guy out of interest to see how he gets on - should be interesting.
P+D MP running - seemed there was enough for me and I agree, much easier when done as part of a race.

Just for you TR: the conversation was originally about RW choosing mostly people that hadn't posted on the forums previously. I said that most would have a shock when they realised how much time and effort would be required to not only meet the running requirements but also the time to put into the thread, a la MM. Someone said that, up to now, they hadn't the time because they had a job and kids. I pointed out that many of the regular posters on some threads (ie this one) had kids but managed to find the time to train and provide assistance and support to other forumites and not only when a lovely freebie was up for grabs. Then Sue came in and ripped them to shreds
Having joined the RW forum this year I only got to read the latter stages of MM's Super 6 thread so don't really know about what happened on the others. Is JBFAR still around or did it put her off the forum entirely?

This week's Economist has an article (subscrip. req'd.) on the failure of many investors, including institutional investors, to file claims in securities fraud settlements. The article notes that institutional investors may be "violating their fiduciary responsibilities when they do not try to get their money" and could be the subject of "class-action suits to come." An easy prediction - especially since those suits have already been around for a year.
Quote of note: "A study by James Cox, a colleague of Mr McGovern's at Duke, of 118 securities class-action suits between 1995 and 2002, published in the Stanford Law Review last month, concludes that 72% of institutions never claim their full share of the proceeds. Mr Cox offers several explanations: institutions' distaste for a form of litigation that, as they see it, benefits mainly lawyers; low expected gains; and the cost and hassle of claiming."

To Know Thyself - The Beginning of The Journey
It's been a long time coming.
Admitting the truth about my addiction to alcohol; and to say out loud. Hearing my own voice say the words: "I have a problem" was inspired by an article in Redbook I read in the waiting room of my chiropractor's office. Chiropractic care that I need once a week for neck and shoulder issues. Truthfully, more the result of drunken falls rather than the more benign excuse that it's the result of years of computer work. The title of the article was jarring - "Mommy is an Alcoholic". I fast forwarded 10 years and imagined hearing those words come out of my children's mouths. I felt like I had gotten hit by a train of truth.
For the past 5 years, I have been drinking a magnum bottle of wine almost every night. In my early forties with 2 young children; wine became my companion. As delighted as I was to have children and the great joy they bring - my life of freedom changed overnight. I turned to wine so I could shuffle through the monotony and routine of motherhood. It gave me patience. I have never been a patient person. My entire life, I have been plagued with anxiety and perfectionism. Nothing could ever be out of place. My house was always in order. I organized to the point of obsession. But children are unpredictable. I couldn't script or control every move or mess they made. I didn't want them to be like me so I let them just be children.
It was my new friend Pinot who told me that it was okay to leave the dishes in the sink and the toys on the floor. At least until morning when my sober self would manically whirl the house back to order. If the house was in order, there was no evidence of my internal dis-order.
I am married to a patient and kind man who never questioned my alcohol intake. I suspect he assumed I didn't really have a problem if the house was always clean; the kids were happy and cared for; there was always supper on the table; and my business was flourishing. Truth is - what appeared to be intact had a devastatingly weak foundation underneath. I have been hiding like a child who covers her eyes and assumes no one can see her because she can't see.
I have been living a life of shame and guilt for 5 years. Even in spite of that shame, I still drank. The first glass always had a magical way of drowning it out. In 42 minutes, half the bottle was down. It was almost a race to see how fast I could drown the guilt, the shame, the worry and the fear. I started watching the clock to see how long it took. A few more glasses and I was comfortably numb. While in that state of numbness, I drunkenly played with my kids; read to them with slurred speech; and tucked them into bed with double vision. One night, I fell asleep in their room. While I was asleep - they were playing with my video camera. I discovered the video a few days later. They were recording each other having a puppet show. In the background I am snoring. To my horror, they panned the camera on to their unconscious mother. I dropped the camera and began to shake.
There it was. In vivid color. My despicable truth.
But I stayed silent. I kept my hands tightly over my eyes. I felt like a horrible mother and human being. How could I subject my children to this? They weren't even afraid and should have been. What good would I have been if they needed me and I was in that condition? The guilt has reached epic proportions that even Pinot can't drown out anymore. I feel desperate and terrified.
I know the liquor store has one more bottle of guilt for me. Instead, I sit here writing my story, so one more hour passes that I don't get in the car and get it. The addiction is whispering, "Just one more bottle and then you stop. Just one more." While many of you have years, months and even days of sobriety - I only have hours. I need to get through this night without succumbing to that whisper. I know if I don't stay strong, tomorrow morning will come and the guilt will be sitting on my chest like "Fuseli's Nightmare".
If I can do it, tomorrow I will wake up and say to myself, "See how good it feels to wake up sober? Remember how productive and happy you felt the last time?" Those times are few and far between. Coming to this blog is my first step. Today is my first "one day at a time".
My children deserve a sober mother. My husband deserves a sober wife.
Thank you all for listening to my story and for sharing yours. You are a great inspiration.

I drank like this until my two children weren't children any longer ~ they were 14 and 16 when i finally got sober. That was 2 years ago, and I grieve over all of the time that I wasn't really present ~ it was "I love you, now leave me alone." I was drinking my wine everyday by 4 pm. Don't be like me ~ stop drinking while your children are still little. Sobriety is a gift that you give to yourself and your children ~ it's so worth the work that it takes to stop drinking for good. If I could do it, anyone can ~ you just have to want it badly enough. Best to you.ReplyDelete

I have the same story....but I am just now getting sober and my kids are grown. I have pangs of regret...of not being present as well. You can do this. YOU will be so proud of yourself for pushing the voices away, those voices that say 'one more bottle'.ReplyDelete

Like you, so many of us who have posted here have talked about anxiety and perfectionism. And then there's guilt, shame, worry and fear. It's a pervasive thread in all of our stories, it seems. It's remarkable, actually, because it makes me wonder about the bigger, societal expectations placed on women. And for those who choose motherhood, the shock at discovering the cold, hard, truth: mothering is damn hard but doing it all "perfectly" is unattainable. Not to rationalize, but I can't help believe that there just might be a relationship between these expectations and myths and the apparent rise in moms who find themselves somewhere along the continuum of alcoholism.ReplyDelete
No one ever feels guilt, shame, remorse, or fear from NOT drinking! I heard that at a meeting and I really like it. By reaching out here you have paved the way for you to cross over and get help and stay sober...even if it is one hour at a time for now. Please know that the women in the Redbook article you read about have shared their stories so women like you and I are assured we are not alone and that it is possible to achieve a better life in sobriety. It is NOT easy at first. I suggest you print out a copy of your story and by reading your admission every day (many times if you can) it will remind you that you already know the truth. I send my caring thoughts to you. You can do it! Feel free to reach me at email@example.com. Christine - 28 days.

You are brave and you can do this. I read that same article in my dentist office and that thing hit me like a slap in the face..it was a few weeks ago and I read it as I sat hung ove yet again. I have read it several times since because it serves as a reminder . Your kids and husbaqnd deserve the best of you and none of us are our best when we are drunk.ReplyDelete

It is really hard though, when your husband hasn't confronted you, you don't have a DWI, you haven't totally made a fool of yourself in the community. Because, when you get sober, you will still wonder... was I really that bad???ReplyDelete
What a beautiful and heartbreaking post. Thank you so much for having the courage to share this part of yourself with all of us, whether we are in recovery or still struggling. It helps everyone.ReplyDelete
I waited to get sober when my daughter was 22 and my older son was 2 1/2. I now have a 26 year old girl and 2 boys, 6 and 2 1/2. My boys never have to remember me drunk. My daughter and I are healing our relationship. But oh how I wish she didn't have the memories she has.
You have taken your first step toward freedom from this tormenting obsession and desire. You are right to take it one moment at a time. I hope you will seek support in your community from others like you. You do not have to walk this road alone.
I'm sending you prayers of hope and the blessings that come with a beautiful sober life of freedom. Thank you again for being so brave. xoxo
If you haven't gone to a recovery meeting yet, I encourage you to do so. Someone commented that you might feel that it's not that bad - no DWI...etc., but going to a meeting will help you realize how bad it could have gotten and you are very luck/blessed to have stopped it before it got any worse. Lots of good thoughts coming your way.ReplyDelete
Last year myself: same time, same story. Sober one year soon!!! Your family deserves you sober, yes, but you deserve you sober. This is a beautiful start! It's waaaay better. It is.ReplyDelete

I think your post is so truthful, and brave. I can relate to many of your comments. I don't mean to be an alarmist, and I am not a doctor, but if you have been drinking a magnum a nite for 5 years you are bound to have withdrawl symptoms. Please just be aware of the what the symptoms are, and if you need to, please seek medical help. Keep us posted on how you are doing....sending you healing energy.ReplyDelete

I am overwhelmed with gratitude to each and every one of you who have posted. This blog has become a beam of light in the muddy darkness I have been in for so long. From those of you who offer practical advice about withdrawal symptoms, low blood sugar, to those of you who could identify with my story and offer experienced advice. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I had another wine-free day yesterday. All of your words will help me have another one today. You are amazing women and I am so happy to meet you. Blessings.ReplyDelete
I am so glad you posted this. It is really brave, and it helps all of us, even those with many years of sobriety.ReplyDelete
I wanted to make a comment on the idea of "not that bad." I was someone who by some standards was not that bad when I got off the elevator: two or three glasses of wine a night. But one thing my sponsor has helped me to see is that even that level is VASTLY different from a normal drinker, as were (more importantly) the way I obsessed about alcohol and other behavioral traits that I had begun to exhibit. So even though I did it for years myself, there is really no point in thinking of all the ways that it isn't as bad as some other alcoholic. What matters most is that you've passed the point of no return, that you can never go back to being a normal drinker. That helped me, so I am passing it along to you.
What I also want to say is that life is so much better on the "other side," and that you can never quit drinking too soon. Really, it is so, so worth it, and I wish I had the right words to communicate how much better it is. Take the plunge. And as others have recommended, a 12-step group like AA will be a terrific resource for you. Good luck and come back and update us!

As I read your post, I could swear you were writing my story. I also had an epiphany after reading the Redbook article and couldn't put it down (as I was reading, crying, and drinking vodka - which I switched to after my Husband asked me to stop drinking Pinot). It's been a couple weeks since I read that article and still continued to drink. This morning I couldn't get out of bed because I drank 3/4 of a magnum of Pinot and was too embarassed to get up with my kids because I didn't want my Husband to know I pee'd the bed. So I lay there in urine until he leaves the house taking my youngest to school. After my oldest leaves for school, I get on this website wracked with guilt over once again drinking too much. I cried so hard and decided that today would be the day or I wouldn't feel this strong again. I called my Husband and he actually went with me to my first AA meeting. You can do it, it's taking the first step that is the hardest. It's never easy to admit you are an alcoholic. I'm starting my recovery today and you can too! Stay strong.ReplyDelete

Thank you for your story. I am right in that place currently. And thanks to the people who commented. I have yet to stop - but reading these words pushes me closer and closer and I know that they eventually will give me the courage to stop. Proud of you for taking these first steps.ReplyDelete

Wow. I cannot believe how many of you have suffered the way I have (am). I've been reading all of these stories and comments and weeping for over an hour now. My mother died of alcoholic cirrhosis 4 years ago when my daughter had just turned 2 and my son 4. Her story was horrible, lonely and one of the saddest things I've ever witnessed. Ironically, I started drinking heavily to deal with the grief of losing her. Four years later and that drinking is now a habit, physically, mentally etc. Telling myself that it's ok to drink only after my kids go to bed and never during the day (except for weekends of course) isn't quite working out. I cannot function with a hangover. The hangover is anxiety, panic, guilt and vomit ridden. Not to mention I go to work like this. On my days off or on weekends my kids play video games and watch TV while I lay in bed, listening to the nagging voices in my head, feeling nauseous. WOW are they getting ripped off. I too have peed the bed after a full magnum of wine, once with my son sleeping next to me. I'm getting really sick of all of it. Starting to cut out even a couple nights a week has helped, can't fall asleep but it's better than the other!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much everyone for being so honest. I never thought in a million I would be here writing, confessing. It's a step. Feeling hopeful.
Bravo to you, you've taken a huge step in admitting it...now keep reading your own words. If today it doesn't feel like you deserve sobriety then go ahead and do it for your husband and children. The rest will follow, you will begin to love yourself again if you work at it.ReplyDelete
I would urge you to get to a meeting, sitting there listening to people talk about their inner thoughts really gave me insight on myself. I knew after my first meeting that I'm not alone and there's an explanation as to why I always felt different.
We are all here for you and remember that any man can fight the battles of just one day if he/she keeps their mind on today.

I also read the Redbook article. I was sitting in my daughters ortho office and she was right next to me. She (14) saw the title of the article as well and I saw the pain and hurt in her eyes, and I knew why. Both her and my other daughter (13) unfortunately have had to deal with my drinking and its effects. I hate that but it hasn't stopped me.ReplyDelete
I read the article as quickly as I could and did something I normally wouldn't- I went to the store right after, not to buy alcohol but to buy the magazine, so I could share the story with my husband. Those stories are my story.
I've known for a while that I have a problem and have tried many different trial separations from my love of drinking. Yes, I said love. I enjoy being buzzed. I like using alcohol to mix it up a little. But it has become not so fun anymore. It always leads to fighting with my family, bad choices, and guilt, shame and depression.
I don't drink everyday. I am a binge drinker. I go weeks without but then when I start, bring it on. It's a mess. I hate myself after and know I should stop, but I know it's too late because everyone is already upset. That just makes me want to avoid them and stay drunk. Yuck!
I'm happy to say I read that article 11 days ago and haven't had a drink since. Not that I haven't wanted to though. It's so not worth it though. I love this forum and will continue to come for support. I'm not one for meetings - very private (some would say secretive) but I do have a therapist who is helping me.
Bravo to you for taking the first step. It seems that article was a catalyst for both of us and hopefully we'll share the same path of sobriety! Best of luck. You're not alone! I feel connected to all the stories and comments I read...today is a good day!
Thank you all for your wonderful words of encouragement and strength. I too have struggled with this for years. My life is crumbling around me. Every aspect of my life has been affected-my health, my job, my kid, my education, everything. I don't want to live this life of insanity anymore. Today I didn't drink. It's only day 2. Every day that I wake up hungover, I'm so ashamed that I wasn't strong enough to resist the urge to drink. I have lost friends-they don't understand and think I should have more "willpower". I wish I did too! I'm going to a meeting tomorrow morning. I've been reading the Big Book. I'm in therapy. I'm desperate for help and your words and encouragement mean so much. I'll be checking in here often. Thank you!ReplyDelete

How many injuries did I have before I connected them to my drinking? Was it all the black eyes, the broken nose, the fractured hip? But I kept doing the same things over and over again expecting different results.ReplyDelete

This blog, posts and comments - I have read over and over - has gotten me through a couple of very challenging days. I can see why AA says to "take it one day at a time". As I am sure many of you can relate early into recovery - sometimes it takes one minute at a time. Deep breaths, lots of water, keeping my blood sugar level and getting to sleep early has helped. Although, I am still struggling. I am still searching. Today, I feel like I am trying to run through quick sand. The kids have only been home from school for 30 minutes and I am already irritated with how many times I have heard "Momma?" I feel like such a jerk for even being annoyed. I adore my children. I am experiencing such a myriad of emotions and I feel like layers of skin have been peeled away exposing raw nerves. I know this all normal. For any mom - with or without alcohol. I just have to rally through one more minute... Thank you all for being here and there and everywhere.ReplyDelete

It's comforting to know I am not alone. I had 1/2 a beer last night and dumped the rest down the sink. Didn't drink the night before. That's huge for me. My husband was murdered two years ago. I have been drinking every day since. I make myself sick all the times I acted like an idiot. Why does it have to be so hard? My poor kids- I feel so guilty. They need me more than anything and I have not been present emotionally for them. I couldn't deal with my husband's death and I don't know how to help them. We have gone to counseling, but I still drink. My friends and family seem to give me a free pass to drink cuz of what I have been through. It's not an excuse to drink. I don't want to look back and wish I stopped sooner. This site is a tool - I will come back tonight-if I can make it til 7:00 pm, 4-6 are the hardest hours for me. If I just eat dinner instead of drinking it- I will be too full to want to drink. I make my kids dinner and drink while cooking and then sit and watch them eat. Nice example. God, I suck. Thank you all for your honesty. We can do it.ReplyDelete

You are a great writer....I can so relate to your story. I am 3 days sober. I like the way you said, "always another bottle of guilt". I've been contemplating a glass (bottle) of wine,,,and then I think about the guilt and shame. I want to live, truly LIVE my life. So, I am going to pour myself another cup of tea....and say goodbye to the guilt!ReplyDelete
