My Molly's Queen of Crufts: Benfleet pup wins award
5:30pm Tuesday 11th March 2014 in News By Seema Hakim
A BENFLEET woman suffering from a debilitating condition is celebrating after the dog that transformed her life won an award at Crufts.
Lucy Watts, 20, is battling with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a rare tissue disorder which has left her wheelchair bound since she was 14.
Her cocker spaniel, Molly, was named the 2014 winner of the Crufts' Friends for Life award.
One-year-old Molly, who helps Lucy, of Swans Green Close, with daily tasks, beat off stiff competition from four other finalists to be named the winner at the ceremony at Birmingham's NEC on Sunday.
Lucy said: "It felt amazing. It's just the best thing.
"I did not expect to win because the competition was so high, but it's an honour, and it was also nice for Molly to be recognised for what she has done for me."
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, which is caused by a defect in the body's collagen, has made life difficult for Lucy who said she felt isolated and withdrawn before she met Molly in March last year.
The condition means Lucy struggles with dressing, sitting unaided, and she has to be fed through a tube. Since adopting Molly, Lucy says her life has changed for the better.
She said: "She makes me push myself and she's given me the confidence to do things like leave my house. She's just really given me a reason to live."
Molly, who is being trained by charity Dog AID to become an assistance dog, has helped Lucy increase her independence and helps her with day-to-day tasks ,such as pulling up her socks and alerting someone when Lucy gets ill.
Lucy added: "Molly is the best companion, best friend, best dog, and I don't think I could ever replace her. She is my life and I am hers."

In the San Diego - Chiefs Monday night game, Rivers and 61, the center, are struggling to control of the fumbled football. It appears to be between the legs of 61, but controlled by Rivers. Watch how Jackson (94) changes that.
At the 4 minute mark, Jackson comes around the pile, grabs 61 by the neck and removes him from the action. At about the same time, Studebacker gets control of the football.

0Guess the Celebrities: Alison Brie's Boobs Vs. Joel McHale's Butt
Community star Alison Brie recently tweeted,
Comparing close-up shots of my cleavage and @joelmchale's butt crack and they're eerily identical. #buttboobies
Donald Glover posted the uncouth snapshots in question to his Twitter (NSFW) for your—yes, your—perusal. In one photo: Miss Brie's comely gazoombas; in the other, suspiciously babylike butt-cleavage, belonging to The Soup's very own Joel McHale. The similarities are uncanny!
But which is which? Can you solve the puzzle? (This is totally like Highlights for Kids!)
The probably-not-safe-for-work images are after the cut.

4Cute or Creepy? Unlikely 'Community' Romances, As Depicted by an Illustrator of Kids' Books
It sure seems like Community's Jeff Winger (Joel McHale) has entertained brief romances with just about everybody on the show, including Britta (Gillian Jacobs), Annie (Alison Brie), and nearly every attractive guest-starring lady.
Troy (Donald Glover) had a thing with Annie, too, just for a hot Season One second—but we all know Troy only has eyes for his main broseph Abed (Danny Pudi). And then there's Shirley (Yvette Nicole Brown), who has had dalliances with her former Spanish teacher, Señor Chang (Ken Jeong) and, even more notably, with Theo Huxtable.
How can any casual viewer follow Community's sordid social graph? But more importantly, how will the writers add any more will-they-won't-they frisson? Isn't Community starting to feel a little bit like the fourth season of Friends? Hasn't every romantic avenue already been exhausted? IS THERE NO ONE LEFT TO SLEEP WITH?
Children's book illustrator Julieta Colás is here to help! She has thought long, hard, and deeply about this, and has considered new romantic configurations from every angle. What I'm coyly trying to say is, Colás drew us a bunch of fanfic, basically.
Here, then, are some unexplored (or underexplored) Community couplings (via BuzzFeed):
"The Married Couple." What if Jeff and Britta finally paired up? Britta espouses a lot of fake feminist rhetoric, so you know she won't be the one making breakfast. Also, look! She's drinking tea! Nice touch, Julieta—you're a true fangirl.
"The Cougar." WHAT. Gillian Jacobs is literally eleven months older than Donald Glover. The fact that she plays an Oldy McOlderson on the show (she's 28! She's 28 in real life!) kind of skeeves me, especially when both sophomores are played by 27-year olds. In other news: Britta and Troy should totally hook up. Yes.

2Ken Jeong Was Hilarious 13 Years Ago
Oh, come on, I know. He's funny now, too.
Here's a 28-year-old Ken Jeong (The Hangover Part II, NBC's Community) trying his hand at stand-up way back in 1998. What an excellent find! The clip might be NSFW, unless you have a cool boss, or headphones.
Now, at first I was all, "1998? That wasn't very long ago." Then I did some math on my fingers, realized that the majority of Beliebers were born in 1998, and stifled a tiny sob as I felt the icy grip of death clutching my left shoulder.
Speaking of death and dying…! Not only is Dr. Ken Jeong, M.D. oodles funnier than 1996 Seth Rogen but — I honestly believe this — Ken could have revolutionized comedy with his unexpected brand of "doctor humor." (Watch for the hilariously unfunny "You Might Be a Diabetic" bit.)

1'Community' Goes Girl-on-Girl
No, a Britta and Annie hook up is not going down any time soon, but these photos of various cast members of the verge of doin' it were posted to a Community producer's Twitter yesterday and they're pretty funny and definitely sexier than those topless Justin Bieber pics.
Too bad these shots were staged for LOLs. How great would it be if the season ended with a D.Glover/Chevy Chase make out sesh?

1Hilary Duff is Playing a Mean Girl on Community
Hilary Duff is guest starring on an upcoming episode of Community (never seen it, but I loooooove Donald Glover's rapz), and like every time an actress with a reputation for being sweet does a guest part on a show, she's playing the bitch. C'mon. It's so true. I can already hear her explaining the part on a giggly Leno interview: "It's fun playing the mean girl because that's so not me. It was a real challenge! It was so hard to look at those actresses and say those things because I like them so much!"
Anyway, here's a sneak preview of Hilary on the show. I can't tell if she sucks at acting or if I'm just really tired of this high school lady bully character.
One thing that did make me laugh? This line: "Why name your daughter Megan? Are you stocking up for a bitch shortage?"
October 31, 2010 at 1:24 pm by Molls
7Donald Glover is Magic
You guys watch Community? OK, well, it's good and you should watch it if you don't, but if you do, you know Donald Glover, who plays Troy. During his downtime, Don recorded a mixtape under the name Childish Gambino and released it on his website for free. And it's sick. His lyrics are tight and funny and his skill level is surprisingly good.
Rapping over bands like Grizzly Bear and Animal Collective, Childish Gambino tells us what it's like to be the most fashionable young TV actor in the game. On my favorite track, "My Girls", he also gives some insight to what it's like to date a dude whose job lends to a player lifestyle. You can download parts 1 and 2 of his mixtape "I Am Just a Rapper" here and here.
Listen to "New Prince (Crown On the Ground)" here:

The MLB trade deadline is rapidly approaching and it is more evident than ever with the increased flood of rumors and reports around the league. The latest report to surface involves Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Jake Peavy, who is reportedly being checked out by the Seattle Mariners.
From Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports:
#Mariners had high-level scouts at Peavy start yesterday and Brewers-Padres all week, the sort of thing a "buyer" would be expeced to do.
— Jon Morosi (@jonmorosi) July 26, 2013
It is a bit curious that the Mariners are even considering being buyers at the trade deadline with their team being 10 games back from first place and 7.5 games out of the Wild Card race, but perhaps they have a larger plan in place.
We will continue to keep you updated with the latest news and rumors around Major League Baseball as we approach the trade deadline, so be sure to check back in with FanSided.com.

Tech careers: 3 ways to catch the wave
Feeling left behind? Here's how to join the IT party in progress and be happier at work this year.
Computerworld - For years, Nick Brattoli had what some would consider an enviable IT job: It was steady, wide-ranging and at times, downright cushy. Working for a nonprofit mental health care organization as a Web and SharePoint specialist, Brattoli helped build the corporate intranet, trained employees and tended to traditional hardware and network support. He was reasonably paid and had ample vacation time. And the work came in fits and starts, so there was plenty of downtime.
Brattoli was content, but he didn't feel challenged. "It was a nice place to work -- I got pay raises and decent projects, but I was stuck in terms of title and responsibility," says Brattoli, 28. So after three years at the post, Brattoli embarked on a meticulous, monthslong job search to find a new position in the healthcare field that would let him spread his wings. "I'm too young to be settling. I wanted to move toward leadership, and I really like learning. My old environment wasn't conducive to that."
Read the full report: Computerworld IT Salary Survey 2013
Brattoli's search landed him a post as a SharePoint implementation engineer at Medseek, a provider of patient engagement software based in Birmingham, Ala. Although it's a comparable position, he's working on large-scale, state-of-the art projects like electronic medical records, patient portals and analytics, and there's plenty of room for growth.
Brattoli's message to other IT professionals? "If you're not happy, now is the time to work on it," Brattoli says. "It's a good time for IT."
While unemployment is still high in many fields, that's not the case in IT, according to John Reed, senior executive director at Robert Half Technology, an IT staffing firm. In fact, Reed says, the IT hiring picture has been pretty rosy for 24 months, driven by the explosion of new technologies, such as big data, cloud computing and mobile, and by sweeping changes in the economy, such as those brought about by healthcare reform.
"IT is really in a renaissance right now," Reed says. "For several years, IT was in a quiet period in terms of innovation. Now, IT is being viewed for its potential to revolutionize a company, and it's a cool place to be."
Like Brattoli, many of the 4,251 IT professionals who participated in the 27th annual Computerworld Salary Survey are riding that upswing, using the momentum to switch companies or change positions in their quest to find deeper career satisfaction. Here's how to join them on that journey.
Be of service to the business
Last October, Joe Scheible took a full-time job as a disaster recovery project manager at AIG after spending nearly 30 years working as an IT contractor -- at AIG and elsewhere. Scheible, who was diagnosed with cancer earlier in the year, felt extremely loyal to AIG, which had held his contracting post open during his illness.
When AIG offered him a full-time position, he was quick to get on board. The good salary and generous benefits package were big draws, but what really sealed the deal were the chance to work with data center professionals around the globe and AIG's commitment to technology. "AIG places a huge degree of emphasis on IT and how it can be used to enhance the business," Scheible says.
In Jeff Fandl's experience, helping a business achieve its core objectives is key to long-term career happiness and success in IT. "When you start to get midlevel or senior in your career, you've got to get out from behind the desk and talk with business users," says Fandl, who in December 2012 took a job as director of IT infrastructure at Sanare, a maker of diabetes management products. "You need to understand what their pain points are and how you can enable them to solve their problems." Fandl says he previously did a stint at an IT outsourcing company, where he honed the client service and business skills that readied him for his next leap.

100% MINK and Natural Blends
Mink hairs are rather short, but very thick and soft. Mink change their fleece about 3 times per year. For cutting the fleece, farmers handle the mink with gloves, cut the fibre by hand and then sell the fibre to combing mill. The mink fibre is cut and combed from live animals, like angora from rabbits or cashmere from goats. No animals are hurt during the production of the yarn - the mink hair is hand stripped off the animal and then spun into the yarn. For the animal, it probably feels like brushing (similar to regular brushing for cats) or a gentle massage.
Yarns made of mink hair are beautiful, extremely soft, and very delicate - mink fiber must be spun with another, stronger fiber such as wool or silk, or, if it is 100% Mink - we would suggest to combine the mink with another yarn to obtain enough strength in the finished project.
The natural wild colour of mink's fur is a glossy dark brown. Commercial farming selectively bred much paler colours, and mink furs come in many other natural colours, such as Black, Mahogany, Pastel, Demi Buff, Aleutian (Iris), Sapphire and White. Mink are aggressive animals and must be handled with care. They bite readily and are handled with thick leather mitts. Wild mink spend up to 80% of their time in their dens, sleeping, grooming and eating food they have carried home. Reference: The Canadian Encyclopedia.com

In this technology age, information about any subject matter is right at our fingertips.
And that includes health information.
And many of us might turn to our computers - instead of heading to the doctor's office - to try and figure out what we have and how to treat it.
Doctor Tim Jacobs with Quincy Medical Group's Ambulatory Care says that's fine - but watch out where you're getting your facts.
He says some sites - like WebMD - are credible, but others might not provide enough information, or the right information.
But he says - with certain symptoms - you really should come and see your doctor.
"Certainly if you have the sniffles, probably best just to stay home and not go out. Fever is the big determinant for me - and so if you have a sustained fever for over several days, that's probably a good time to come in and see a physician," Jacobs says.
Doctor Jacobs also says to be suspicious if your symptoms come on very quickly, especially if you haven't gotten a flu shot.

Looking for a place to store my photos
I figured there would be no better place to ask this, I'm looking for the best place to store my photos and I'm looking for suggestions as to where to do it. I know of flickr and 500px and a few others here and there but I don't know all of them to help me make a decision.
Basically I have about 15gb of photos and have them stored in too many different locations across hard drives and cloud storage, I'm going to take the time to sort them all. I'd like to be able to have some form of folder structure available, be that sets and collections or whatever the service calls them. I have multiple sub folder situations as I store by year then location then a descriptive folder of some sort. I'd also like to be able to download my photos at a high resolution and preferably download entire folders at a time. I have too many photos to go one at a time.
I have no issue with paying a yearly fee as long as it's a service that matches my needs. What do you guys think?

NEW CASTLE, Pennsylvania - The Lawrence County judge in the juvenile trial of Jordan Brown is expected to make a decision in the coming days whether or not to release the now 14-year-old while he awaits trial.
Brown is accused of killing his father's fiancé, Kenzie Houk, and her unborn child back in February of 2009.
Brown's attorneys argue his right to a speedy trial has been violated because as a juvenile he should have either been released or tried by now.
They're asking the judge to release him immediately into his father's custody until his trial.
"He's just not getting the counseling and the treatment that he really needs given the nature of what's been going on here for the last three years with all of this. And he's at a critical point in his life and he's just missing out on a great deal. So we're hopeful that he's released," said Brown's attorney Steve Colafella.
The judge is expected to make a decision this week.
Brown's attorney expects the trial will be held within the next 30 days.

Few locations in southern Ohio can lay claim to so much history at one site. The John T. Wilson Homestead has been a place of significance since the early 1800s as the center of the community, general store, and post office; an important stop on the Underground Railroad for slaves escaping to freedom; and a recruitment and training site of Civil War Union Soldiers – to its current placement on the National Registry of Historic Places and inclusion in the Friends of Freedom Society Most Endangered Underground Railroad listing. At the same time, this site has always been a place of quietness and peacefulness. Perched high on a bluff, with nearly constant gentle breezes, visitors to the Wilson home often feel a sense of calm and harmony. This is probably why John T. Wilson chose the name of Tranquility for the community that sprung up around his farmstead.
The John T. Wilson homestead is situated in scenic Adams County Ohio, only minutes from the Wheat Ridge Amish Community and State Route 32, and an hour drive from Cincinnati. This is a picturesque land of rolling hills, country farms, covered bridges, and antique shops. Adams County is also the home of Serpent Mound, beautiful Ohio Brush Creek, and two state forests; and the Wilson home is adjacent to the 4300 acre Tranquility Wildlife Area which known for its world record white tail deer potential. If you are planning a visit to the John T. Wilson homestead please visit our local attractions link to find some of the wonderful sites of Adams County, Ohio.
|We are proud that the John T. Wilson homestead serves as a connection to days gone by, preserving the past for current generations to enjoy. With the hustle and bustle of modern life, it is reinvigorating to step back into a simpler time, a place of tranquility and history. We look forward to you visiting the Annual Adams County Heritage Days and our future bed and breakfast.

Not all of the children we feature on Wed's Child are adopted. That's our goal, so if it takes more than one visit, so be it.
If Isaiah's watching right now, we're going to embarrass him and show these pictures of our first encounter back in the Summer of '06. He was three then... And still developing his sense of self.
Well, he seems to have found his smile and his personality.
"He has a huge personality, it's like he's going to be a stand-up comedian when he gets older...he has these facial experessions...it's almost like he has comedic timing..like he knows what to say and how to say it to make you laugh...it's really intersting," says Andre Wade with the Division of Family Services.
Isaiah is almost 6...great at math... 'loves to ride his bike, play soccer, play basketball... Just....play!
"But he's a kid that just loves to play, and he's very well-behaved, and you see like he comes in and he's polite, he doesn't disrepect, he just does what he's supposed to do," says Andre.
Isaiah's older sister is part of this adoption... They're very close, and although she wasn't here to meet us on this day, the family they need to keep them together.
"A family that's going to keep their sibling relationship intact, 'cause they are a big unit," adds Wade. "If we can just place them in a good home where consistency and commitment...that's what we're looking for.... And we know they're out there," says Wade, who is a recruitment specialist with the County.
Isaiah's sister Jeniffer is 14, and both are free to be adopted together. To find out more, call the local office of the Adoption Exchange now at 436-6335.

Every delegate should study this sensitive evaluation of a town's architectural and townscape qualities, for it sets a high standard for a local authority publication and is an eye-opener in the truest sense

Following on the surprise announcement that President Barack Obama has won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for desiring to "strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between people," the Nobel committee has announced its winner of the 2009 Nobel Prize for Energy.
The winner is Blake Redfern of San Mateo, California. Mr. Redfern won a seat on the San Mateo city council in 2008 by running on a platform of replacing the city's use of carbon-based energy with energy produced by "perpetual motion." Although Mr. Redfern's scientific background is limited to the biology and chemistry courses he took in high school, the Nobel Committee was deeply impressed with Mr. Redfern's commitment to perpetual motion based energy.
Mr. Redfern has previously sought, and lost, political office on campaigns such as making San Mateo a "nuclear free city," and more recently on having San Mateo issue arrest warrants for George W. Bush and Dick Cheney for their "crimes against humanity."
Nobel committee member Lars Hansen stated that actual achievements are no longer required to win a Nobel Prize. "Merely having aspirations, however quixotic, is quite sufficient," he noted.
Blake Redfern's nomination to the Nobel Committee detailed his deep shame at being an American. In 2006 Mr. Redfern took a backpack tour of Europe in which he repeatedly apologized for the United States and all the world's troubles caused by his fellow Americans. His apology tour through Europe is thought to have greatly influenced the Nobel committee.

For the 12th year in a row my parents sent me flowers on my birthday! Every year the flowers are so different.

Oh, and here's an updated shot of my workspace. I don't know how the birthday flower post became an annual desk post, too, but that's it. I'm in the same spot as last year.

text: Ok here's the deal. I have a friend who is a "fringe" Auburn fan who is considering switching over to the good guys (Roll Tide). This all started back in December culminating on Jan. 9th. He like all of us had heard the talk saying Bama didn't deserve to play for the title blah, blah, blah. So I convinced him to watch the BCS NCG and cheer for Alabama citing that we had a common enemy in Les Miles. He agreed, and was blown away by our complete domination of LSU. So he has asked me to come up with a presentation of why I love Alabama after which he will "get off the fence and pick a team". So I come asking for help from the RBR community. There are so many things that make us great it's difficult to put into words. I would also like links to awesome Youtube videos to use in the presentation. I am not that tech savy; so I would love a good idea of how to download said videos on my laptop. I don't want to be at the mercy of how fast my internet can stream video on a given day. Any help would be appreciated. Let's pull this fine young man out of the clutches of darkness. Thanks and Roll Tide Roll!!!

The forum software has been upgraded. Please use this page to reset you forum password.
My first point - once I am logged into www.galaxyzoo.org, Merger Zoo disappears!
I did a thousnd simulation compareisons last night and picked 5. Now I come back and I can't find that work or carry on with it. A new merger is on the front page.Does this mean we cannot stop working on a merger and come back to it later to work some more?
Thanks John.Jules, your edit was correct. and I would not ignore you.
It's great that Zoo Mergers has been launched, however.................My merger count is 0, and it hasn't saved my favourites. (i had only saved a couple) What's happened? Hope this can be fixed
First, let me say thank you again to all of you for your help with the beta. Your hard work has helped us tremendously and we are grateful. We'll be producing some scientific papers for a conference happening in January. We hope to present the results of your efforts with the beta and the preliminary results of the new site.Second, I'm glad to see you haven't all been frightened away by the beta and some have even tried the new site. The My Mergers feature is new, and like many new things, it may not be functioning 100% for all users. If you keep having trouble with saving favourites, try reloading the applet. If you're currently in the applet, click Stop and follow the on-screen prompts to save your current work. You can then visit the home page or the tutorial again. This might help refresh your browser cookies. Then try launching the applet again by going to "Merge Galaxies".As to the merger count number on the My Mergers page, I'm not sure why that's not being refreshed. But the same steps as above may help. BTW the number refers to a unit of work that is not a direct reflection of the number of individual simulations you've looked at. It's more like the number of merger targets you've analyzed and the number of times you've worked on them. We know we have a lot of room for improvement with the My Mergers page, but we wanted to have a least a first attempt at letting you save and view favourites. We hope to improve the utility of this page in the future. We're very interested to continue hearing any feedback you may have. Again, thank you so much for your help with the beta. We've been very busy the last several months trying to apply what we've learned with your help to make the new site even better.Thank you,Anthony

Its never been particularly easy blogging over there, and I've been part of their crowd for years now. But those moderators over there, especially Bob R, can just get ridiculous sometimes in their tyrannical moods. And Bob R does have that streak of tyrant in him that comes out occasionally.
Anyway I was conducting a debate with Ron Swaren and good old Bob decided it was turning into a 'flame war' here is the debate:
al m Says:
All the coneservatives are following the world wide template to destroy public service workers and public service itself.
They always fail to mention the trillions spent in useless wars.
Its all about everything domestic.
I'm getting so sick of this I am getting ready to just put it all out of my mind and let nature take its course.
All through human history is the citizens that have to suffer so the rulers can rule they way they want.
2 billion people live on a dollar a day!
Anybody talking about that?
Al m, "All the coneservatives are following the world wide template to destroy public service workers and public service itself.
They always fail to mention the trillions spent in useless wars."
George Bush, Sr. knew a better course in Iraq: Initiate, and then also follow, a UN resolution. There are some nutballs running around the conservative world who think that he was talking about a global government, when he referred to a "new world order." This only referred to the current (1990) thinking that they would work to keep all national borders just as they were at the time, and if some other country aggressively tried to change those, then the UN would intervene. Strengthening the UN mission in Iraq would have been much simpler than goin' in and shootin' up the place, as GWB Jr. did.
The flip side, however, is that it seems just about everyone in the world feels the US should be responsible for their happiness. Go to most poorer countries and as soon as they figure out you're American---with good US dollars---the plots begin. So in the UN, you've got really vociferous people who will blame the US or Europe for everything and pass resolutions that alter the freedoms of Americans. So everyone has to be judged on a case by case basis.
As far as most people living on a dollar a day that's is changing fast. This was another upshot of the UN State of the World Forum I went to in 2000. They kept talking about developing countries "leapfrogging" the United States, at least in high tech adaptability. Lots of new middle class folks over there, also able to take advantage of the outlandishly cheap prices their fellow human beings are selling themselves for. It's in the news this last week, Here:
How much these people care about improving their fellow man, I don't know. But believe me, conservative people, especially in religions, are reminded constantly about suffering people around the world. Probably why church mission spending runs around $60 billion per year.
I don't think libertarians like Ron Paul necessarily have the right answer, but I do think it would be better to form "regional security initiatives" (a UN term) so the US doesn't keep spending money on such things. However, the UN is kinda weak to take on Red China, say, and there's a lot of worried people in SE Asia and the Pacific starting to get alarmed. But "regional security initiatives" in which these other countries shoulder some of the costs of stability would be very helpful. That is what the African Union has been doing in Africa.
It's too long a subject for this forum...
al m Says:
This place is going to have to go under eventually, as will most governmental units that operate on a set of rules completely opposite to citizens. The word "debt" to these governmental units has no meaning. All the people that function as executives are using tax payers money and none of them are accountable for it.
The whole system has to be dismantled and re-built.
This focus on the union benefits is a complete and total lie and the public, fools that they are, eat it up. "I don't get that kind of health insurance, why should they"
So the public does the work for the power elite.
Power elite gets a cheaper and cheaper workforce and the public gets less and less jobs worth having.
But what is happening to us is all based on a big lie. There is just no way to get the masses to understand that. The masses have always been ignorant, throughout history.
The only reason I keep my blog going is to embarass Trimet at this point. Just so they can't have total control of the message. And while their web site dwarfs mine, mine is still there, telling the other side of the story.
But I know its hopeless, Trimet wins, every single time. The game is fixed and we can't win, EVER.
None of the SERFS (any working man for hourly pay) ever win, never once in the entire history of man.
And when the government gets itself in trouble they just take everyone to war and wave the flag of patriotism. Thousands get killed and injured but the power elite maintains its control
Oh, really? Some of the retired guys from the Carpenters union get monthly checks up to 4 G's. Then they get their social security, too. Then they often work under the table, have rental properties or farms or have built and sold homes. Their spouses probably get some pension and SS, too. They got such big pensions because they got to work Saturdays and Sundays to fix their screw ups from the week before.
Then good old Bob R decides its time for him TO TAKE CONTROL
Bob R.
and then this comment by me gets moderated out
Oh, really? Some of the retired guys from the Carpenters union get monthly checks up to 4 G's. Then they get their social security, too. Then they often work under the table, have rental properties or farms or have built and sold homes.
OK_you got me on that one. I will admit there was this little tiny period of time that wealth was so easily available in the world most dominant empire in all of history that some people did indeed come out winners. But your talking about this tiny little period of time the 80's-2000.
Some people are doing fine AT THE MOMENT!
Don't be so cocky to think its gonna last cause it aint!
This is not a flame war either Bob, this is logical conversation. He's making his points and I'm making mine.
It never came to my mind once that he was trying to "flame" me.
Heck I agree with him on lots of subjects.

Madison (WQOW) -- When the 2013 Wisconsin football roster comes out, the name Curt Phillips will be on it.
Phillips had applied to the NCAA for a sixth-year of eligibility, and that has been granted. The Badger football Twitter account makes that announcement Thursday afternoon, prompting a joking Twitter response from defensive lineman Beau Allen, "...looks like we have to put up with you another year..."
Phillips, after three ACL surgeries in his Badgers career, finally got his chance to be Wisconsin's quarterback this past season. He played in seven games, and threw for 540 yards, with five touchdowns and two interceptions. Phillips also rushed for 99 yards on 27 carries.
It'll be a crowded competition for the Badgers starting QB job, with Joel Stave, Danny O'Brien, Jon Budmayr, and Bart Houston also in the mix.

Gulfport celebrated Navy Week with a parade Friday evening. Leading the celebration as Grand Marshal was U.S. Navy Secretary and former Mississippi Governor Ray Mabus. He chatted with a few young Navy folks before things got underway.
The parade included some military firepower, as well as marchers from various JROTC programs around the coast. The Seabees were out in full force. And although this is Navy Week, Keesler Air Force Base had a strong presence as well.
Along the parade route were young folks, as well as those who remember their military days, many years ago.
"Most of us are retired military guys. We are out here because we want to be here with the rest of the military guys," one parade goer said.
The parade headed down 16th Street, then onto Courthouse and ended at Hardy Court.
Navy Week ends Saturday with the Annual Seabee Day at the base in Gulfport. The public is invited to attend.

Advice Needed - Tongue Pictures Attached
I'm 21 years old and been suffering from the following symptoms since the past 2 years:-
1. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (胃食管反流病)
2. Seborrheic dermatitis (脂溢性皮炎)
3. Psoriasis (银屑病)
3. Indigestion (消化不良)
4. Excessive belching (过度嗳气)
5. Stool odor (大便恶臭)
6. Undigested food in stool (大便中有未消化的食物)
7. Acne (粉刺)
8. Stomach growling (肚子咕咕叫)
9. Bad breath (口臭)
10. Body odor (体臭)
11. Unexplained weight loss (原因不明的体重减轻)
12. Hyperhidrosis / excessive sweating (多汗症 /出汗过多)
13. White coated tongue (白舌的背面)
My main problem is that I have been losing alot of weight... I have become underweight.. and therefore, I've become very weak and thin. Also, my skin problems have been troubling me alot.
I'm unable to gain weight. My weight just keeps on being stable at 55kgs... 2 years ago before I had any imbalance in my system, I used to be 65kgs.. So I have become weak, thin and very tired.
I do have a fair amount of knowledge about TCM and have had some success with TCM so therefore, I'm attaching pictures of my tongue and stool for your kind reference.
I was under TCM medication but as I had to shift back to the US, so I had to leave my treatment in between.
I would really appreciate if any practioner on this forum can assist me and guide me towards diagnosing what my problem really is? Is it a kidney deficiency? Is it a spleen deficiency?
Can anyone recommend any good and reputable TCM practioners in the Maryland/Virginia area?
You seem to know quite a bit
You seem to know quite a bit about TCM already, so why don't you include what you have tried both acupuncture and herbal wise previously and what the results were and why you did or didn't keep going with that particular line of treatment. That way we can think outside of the box for you instead of everyone giving you a bunch of ideas you have already tried.
Your tongue looks near normal really, a little swollen and a crack in the st/sp area and a thin white coat, so you have some digestive issues but they don't appear, from the tongue anyhow, to be deeply integrated into your system. What's your diet like? What were your last three meals exactly? Do you drink much alcohol?
I did send you the address
I did send you the address for a practitioner in Maryland, if you didn't get it please contact me directly by clicking on my name and then clicking on the "contact me" button. Then I'll send it again. Without knowing the herbs you were on and/or seeing your personally it is really hard to comment on your case. You definitely have some weakness in the digestive system and in the kidneys as well.
One question about the sweating - is it primarily the hands and/or feet and more at night - or is it spontaneous sweating during the day or excessive with minimal activity?
Do you sleep well? If not, do you have more trouble going to sleep or staying asleep?
How do you feel temperature wise generally - warmer or cooler? And how is your general energy level overall?
Well you've got a few things
Well you've got a few things going on which are hard to completely diagnose over the internet, but I'll give you a general idea. You have signs of empty heat/yin deficiency (the red tip of the tongue, insomnia, heat). Usually with this as the only pattern you would be constipated. As you are also having loose stools there is either more auto-immune type activity (i.e. celiac, crohn's, etc.) or a conjoined spleen deficiency - or a bit of both. Herbally the classic treatment for yin deficiency is Liu Wei Di Huang Wan - but with loose stools already it may be too hard on your system and you would either combine it with Bao He Wan or try treating the stomach/spleen first and then working on the yin aspects. To deal with the spleen aspects I would consider starting with something like Shu Gan Wan which is helpful for GERD, reflux, emotional constraint, etc. perhaps combined with Jia Wei Xiao Yao Wan to clear some of the heat. In theory, again much easier if I were to see you personally, you could do something like 5 tablets of Shu Gan Wan with 5 tablets of Jia Wei Xiao Yao Wan 3 times a day before meals and then after about 2 weeks if it's working you could drop that to twice a day and starting taking 7 tablets of Liu Wei Di Huang Wan with 5 tablets of Bao He Wan in the evenings before you -want- to go to sleep along with those. After about 2-3 months the stomach should be greatly improved (if that's the right combination for you at this time) - then the yin deficiency could take 3-6 months of a low dose like I described to improve.
There are lots of other options you could do including using formulas like Wu Mei Wan which can help IBS, colitis type symptoms along with parasitic infestations. But we generally start with the most obvious and most harmonizing line of action and then start branching out from there if we don't get the results we would want.

The Hot Stove Season is into full swing with the start of this week's winter GM meetings. For updates on events as they happen, tune into ESPN's live coverage, as well as Rotoworld's.
One update from Jayson Stark in the aforementioned ESPN coverage that's worth noting--the Angels are now also "kicking the tires" on Mike Piazza:While the A's and Rangers are still Mike Piazza's chief pursuers, there were rumblings Monday that the Angels had also kicked the tires on Piazza, who is expected to sign with one of those clubs sometime this week.
Since the start of this offseason, the Rangers appear to have realized that getting in on players that interest the A's is a good idea, because driving up their price exacerbates the A's competitive weakness in the market--the ability to pay big bucks. Not surprisingly, it appears the Angels might now be figuring this out as well. Really, it's a bit surprising our competition has taken this long to figure this out. I wouldn't be surprised if we hear chatter from the Mariners, Angels or Rangers about Cliff Floyd as well as the week progresses.
Beane says the A's don't really need much anyway:``The good thing, as anyone who follows our team closely or anybody who is a close fan of our team should realize, is that we don't have much to do,'' Beane said. ``Most of our team is already in place.''
Well, I agree it would take a fan to realize that replacing Frank Thomas, Jay Payton, and Barry Zito "isn't much to do." If we can take what he's saying at face value, it looks like just one free-agent signing is in out future this offseason, and we should expect Dan Johnson and Daric Barton to be non-Gintered this offseason.
In former Athletic hot stove news, Jose Guillen's deal with the Mariners has been finalized. It's not quite as attractive as previously reported, since he gets a little more money than previously thought ($5.5M), and a lot more if he has a typical Jose Guillen season ($3M in incentives). Also, there is a $9M mutual option for next year, with a $500K buyout. That said, I'm impressed with this move by the Mariners. When you think about the money the A's are rumored to be offered for aging/damaged players on a one-year basis, Guillen at slightly less money looks awfully attractive.
Meanwhile, the Red Sox may end up with a bullpen that could be called the Oakland A's Closer Alumni Association, as both Keith Foulke and Octavio Dotel could wind up in the Sox's pen next year.
I've said this before, but I'll say it again--Huston Street could potentially have enormous trade value in a market like these, where set-up men are commanding three-year deals at $6M/per. What about giving the Devil Rays a call? They have a surplus of outfielders, and we need outfielders. They also don't have anything that resembles a closer, and lost an awful lot of games last year because of their bullpen. This article speculates on a Baldelli for Blanton and Windsor trade; I don't know if Baldelli is the spare outfielder they have that I'd want, but Tampa's deep farm system and OF talent seem like a very good trading match for the A's.
There are still two, um, interesting free-agents out there that want to play next year, and might have a shot if Nathaniel Hawthorne were resurrected and given an expansion franchise. In an interview on "Outside The Lines," Sammy Sosa expressed his desire to play next year, and offered up his opinions on Mark McGwire's HOF chances:"I love Mark McGwire. Everybody knows that I have so much respect for Mark. But I'm not gonna speak for Mark McGwire. I'm nobody," Sosa said. "I have so much problems in my life to try and think about somebody else, but my opinion I think there was a few questions they [Congress] was asking Mark that [McGwire] should have answered a different way. That's my opinion now. On the other side, the Hall of Fame is a Hall of Fame for me regardless, no matter what happened."
I was going to point out that Sosa was also criticized for his handling of those proceedings because he hired an interpreter, but the quote above pretty much explains that choice.
Rafael Palmeiro also wants to play next year. If either of them really think they have a chance, I'm surprised they're not playing winter ball for someone. They both need to prove they can still play.
That's plenty of links to dump for now. I hope to see some A's-related news added later...

Are Danks and Floyd better options than anything on the free agent market?
A column over yonder on Baseball Canadiana discussing the relative worth of pitchers like John Danks and Gavin Floyd, if indeed they are on the trade market. I ponder briefly if they would be smarter options than comparable pitchers on the Free Agent Market. IF the Jays are looking for a top-end starter, is John Danks a nice fit? Or does his feud with Jose Bautista run too deep?

ODU to Host Annual 'Her Melody Lingers On.'
Old Dominion University will hold the fourth annual "Her Melody Lingers On" concert to benefit the Claire Cucchiari-Loring Memorial Scholarship at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 4, in Chandler Recital Hall of the Diehn Fine and Performing Arts Center.
The scholarship, which was established in memory of the former Old Dominion student, benefits a deserving student in the ODU Jazz Choir. The concert will feature performances by ODU music professor John Toomey, and local musicians Karl Werne & Friends, Eddie Williams, Curtis Eley, Dan Martier and Laura Martier.
Cucchiari-Loring was a music student at ODU when she was killed by her estranged boyfriend in 2006. The annual concert honors her legacy and celebrates her talent as a young artist, beloved by friends and family.
"Through this program, ODU can provide exceptional student scholarships in music and continue to honor Claire's legacy at our university," said Fred Bayersdorfer, assistant dean for the arts in the College of Arts and Letters. "The event also provides us with an opportunity to remind our students of the dangers of domestic violence and to offer resources about the topic."
Concert tickets are $15 for general admission and $10 for students. Tickets can be purchased online at http://oduartstix.com or by calling the box office at 683-5305.
All proceeds and charitable donations will go to the Cucchiari-Loring Scholarship. Checks, made payable to the ODU Educational Foundation (with note: "Cucchiari-Loring Scholarship"), should be sent to the Office of Development, 4417 Monarch Way, 4th Floor, Norfolk, VA 23529.

Trees axed for $1.6 million condos

Did a tree expert inspect these trees? Although I love old trees, at our house a huge, old cedar tree had to be cut down. One morning with no warning, not a windy day, a gigantic limb fell in our front yard. Thankfully it did not crash into the roof or fall when kids were out playing. The tree inspector explained that those type cedar trees get to an age where they are very vulnerable to snapping limbs (or even tops). He said that the tree was not safe to have over the house given the age of the tree. Neighbors later told us that they had the same type cedar tree and years ago the entire top 1/3rd of the tree snapped and fell over their house, landing on their back fence. It too (obviously) had to be removed.

The City Council seems prone, by a small majority of one, to favor development over preservation of neighborhood character and the small, perhaps intangible and silent touches that lend grace and joy to our daily existence.
Isn't it time for the Council to develop a rational plan to replace the one they completely abandoned when they permitted the high-rise boxy Evelyn Ave apartment complex to be built by Prometheus, and the four other huge projects for Prometheus? I don't think the incremental additions to the property tax rolls will make up for costs in services, education, etc, but we can only guess without seeing the balance sheets. And again, think of the loss to peace, character, aesthetics, environment and neighborliness brought by rampant development.

Home Fellowship groups are a great way to get to know other CBC'ers. Most importantly, they are a great way to apply the biblical truths taught each week from the pulpit.
We have groups meeting in homes all over Orange County on almost every night of the week. The groups gather to discuss the previous weekend's sermon and go through the discussion questions created by Pastor Mike on the back of the worksheet. In addition to the discussion Home Fellowship Group participants invest in each other's lives through accountability, sharing of prayer requests and times of fellowship.
Please click on the link below to find a Home Fellowship Group that works for you and then let us know by registering on the Sign Up link!
If you have any questions please feel free to email email@example.com and let us know how we can help you!
Are you looking for opportunities to serve and be more involved? In addition to participating in a Home Fellowship Group, you can serve as a small group leader and/or host. If either one or both of these options sound interesting, please let us know. We look forward to hearing from you!

I believe that Mick has had a problem with his appeal to fans in his tenure here. That may be changing with the reponse to the fight during the X game. Mick's response was deemed not only appropriate, but showed his passion for UC. If Mick can keep that passion and demonstrate it more to fans, he may attract more people to the games.
I've thought Mick had a PR problem. There were no personalities to get fans excited. Bob HUggins was a big persona, and his players were fan favorites. That has been lacking since Huggs left Clifton. Is it back? I think so, but still needs cultivating. More public appearances by Mick (a la BK) could go a long way to develop a relationship between Mick and fans.
I attended a UCATS riverboat trip last summer and Mick was onboard, but you wouldn't have known it. There was no buzz. Somehow Mick needs to boost himself and his program.

A tragic accident has claimed the life of a 2-year-old in Branford.
The incident was reported Monday evening in the yard of a home on Laurel Hill Road in Branford.
"It's tragic, you know?" said Will Elaawar, of Branford. "He had his whole life ahead of him."
Unidentified sources said the toddler was on a small bulldozer that his grandfather, identified as Ralph Mauro, was driving and was then run over.
Mauro is the former assistant director of Town Affairs in East Haven.
On the door of the family's home was a note that said, "no visitors, please."
"People always say it happens in the blink of an eye," said Jessica Trammel, of Branford. "My heart goes out to the grandparent, who I imagine feels horrible."
Police said the incident is a tragic accident, but are still investigating what happened.
"Anytime we have a small child, infant or younger, involved in some sort of accident, our detectives investigate it and will have some sort of conversation with the state's attorney to make sure a crime has or has not been committed," said Capt. Geoff Morgan, of the Branford Police Department.

The operations center at North Georgia EMC is now back to normal daily procedures after a massive winter storm damaged large portions of the NGEMC distribution system.
All 7 counties in the service area experienced multiple outages with Walker and Catoosa counties hardest hit. Several restorations extended into Sunday because of structure damage to member homes, which had to be repaired before power could be safely restored.
"In the wake of this huge storm, we are grateful for the understanding patience of NGEMC members and the many kind remarks posted on our Facebook page while others emailed notes or shared words of encouragement with crews in the field," said NGEMC CEO, Kathryn West. "We also want to thank area road departments and emergency personnel who worked to keep roads safe and as clear as possible so we could get to fallen trees and lines. We appreciate the crews who worked long hours in challenging conditions, and we are particularly thankful to report no injuries for NGEMC. Our dedicated employees were encouraged by the many expressions of appreciation from our community of members."
Approximately 135 line-crew members, 95 tree trimming crew members, and a host of support personnel worked around the clock to restore power to more than 27,000 members affected by the substantial damage to the electric system.
Crews from Blue Ridge Mountain EMC in Young Harris, GA; Caney Fork EMC from Middle Tennessee; and Clarke-Washington EMC and Baldwin EMC both from Alabama assisted NGEMC's regular work force. These crews, along with some of NGEMC's regular forces have moved on to other systems which sustained even more extensive damages.
Law enforcement were out on the roadways making sure it was a safe Labor Day holiday for everyone.
