Shane's dead, Lori's pregnant and Rick's a wreck — The Walking Dead executive producer Glen Mazzara offers clues to the hit show's third season.
In 2010, when it was announced that AMC was going to adapt the Robert Kirkman-Tony Moore-Charlie Adlard comic "The Walking Dead" into a TV series, there were plenty of skeptics. There'd never been an ongoing zombie TV series, and even with heavy-hitter executive producers such as Frank Darabont and Gale Anne Hurd on board, it was a very big risk for AMC, which is best known for Mad Men and Breaking Bad. Then something strange happened: The Walking Dead was an out-of-the-box hit. With only six episodes for its first season in 2010, the show allowed anticipation to build for its second season of 13 episodes, which hit a high of 8.1 million viewers — far better than some series currently on the five major networks.
Part of the success of the series is the great storytelling, engaging characters and zombie-chomping action, but another part of the equation, according to showrunner and executive producer Glen Mazzara, is the fact that the show has broken new ground by having a singular monstrous threat throughout the series' run. "There have been other horror shows, like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The X-Files and Supernatural, but in those cases it tends to be more of a monster-of-the-week," Mazzara says. "I've not seen a long-running horror show that's about a single threat. So to have one particular threat week after week, without shying away from it, is new territory, particularly for me as a writer."
The series centers on a disparate group of survivors following a zombie apocalypse. Spearheading the group is Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), a former deputy sheriff who has been trying to keep order in his family, consisting of wife Lori (Sarah Wayne Callies) and young son Carl (Chandler Riggs), who is angling for some of his own zombie-killin' action as his innocence erodes.
Surprisingly, Rick's main antagonists were often not the zombies themselves, but his former best friend and fellow officer Shane (Jon Bernthal). Their opposing views on how to handle the zombie holocaust, as well as Shane's post-apocalyptic affair with Lori, created plenty of friction throughout the first two seasons. Everything came to an explosive head during season two when Rick had to kill his friend to save the others. And there was that little thing of Carl having to put down the zombie version of Shane, too.
"Shane's death is the baggage that they're all carrying around into season three," Mazzara says. "Let's not forget Lori is pregnant and not sure whose child she's carrying – Rick's or Shane's. Rick murdered his best friend, and she had an unexpected reaction to it. It's affecting everyone and that will certainly be a significant part of the character dynamics in season three."
As the anticipated third season kicks into gear in October with a 16-episode commitment (to be split into two chunks of eight), we know the group, after having left the safety of the farm that took up all of season two, are getting close to the prison that will become their potential safe haven. The season is also sure to continue on an arc that is arguably one of the most dynamic and story-rich from the comics.
"The gist for season three comes directly from the comic book itself," Mazzara explains. "I like that Rick and the group fight for that prison and they spill blood for the prison. And the Governor will spill blood for that prison. That's a great story — two Alpha males with each group rallying behind them, fighting over that small parcel of land is something I hope to mine for as long as possible."
Additionally, the prison arc also brings fan-favorite comic characters into the mix with their own TV show counterparts, including the aforementioned Governor (David Morrissey) and, of course, the warrior Michonne (Danai Gurira), who was glimpsed in the season finale when she saved Andrea (Laurie Holden) from a zombie attack after Andrea was separated from the main group. "We're going to make those characters our own because that's what we do on the series," says Mazzara, who adds that comic book fans won't be disappointed in the way the new characters are portrayed. "Comic book fans expect Michonne to be a badass and the Governor to be a villain, and I promise we deliver on that."
One of the other things Mazzara is proud of is how, during the last few episodes of season two, the series finally figured out how to balance the three most important things driving the show: character moments, comic book source material and horror. "The series really needs to have that balance and an integration of these three elements," Mazzara says. "I'm happy to say that by the end of season two, we achieved that and it's propelling us forward into season three and we've hit the ground running. The show is well-paced, and it also has a lot of very poignant moments. I think, thirdly, it's scary as hell. Our season [three] premiere is just as good as any horror film out there today and I'm excited for the audience to see that since it will be the case for all of season three."
When drawing a parallel to what he's trying to accomplish with The Walking Dead, Mazzara looks to The Exorcist. "If you look at The Exorcist, it's a very simple story," Mazzara explains. "There's a monster in a little girl and all we have to do is buy into that. I'm interested in telling simple stories that have incredible emotional impact. I really want the show to feel simple and immediate. I have no intention of making this show heavily mythologized or heavily serialized, because I don't want people to say, 'I don't understand what's going on.' That can be built up and that's a trap for any TV show, because you have to be invested. At any point [with The Walking Dead], you can jump in and understand what the dilemma is and that's why it feels immediate and we have such a mass audience."
A perfect example of this, according to Mazzara, is the revelation that Sophia (Madison Lintz), the little girl the group had been looking for throughout season two, was in fact a zombie living inside the barn on the very farm where they had all taken short-term shelter. And it was up to Rick to kill her zombie incarnation in one of the series' more shocking moments. "It's heartbreaking to the group and it shatters hope, but it clearly defines the world," Mazzara says. "Our characters are willing to massacre Hershel's family. That is a full-on massacre and they're participating, but what's unique about our show [is that] our audience can put themselves in our characters' shoes in a way you can't in a procedural. You can't say, 'If I were a cop, I'd do this.' Yes, I would be the first one there and gun them down, too, and one of their own comes out. This is what we have just done to this man. Now we've experienced that loss and the audience experienced that loss at the same time. That was really, really important for us — to make the show as immediate as possible and emotionally as frightening as possible. That is the true nature of horror."
Mazzara also feels this moment helped The Walking Dead avoid a pitfall of many genre series that give vague answers instead of creating more questions. "This is a challenge all serialized dramas face: How do you push the story forward in new and exciting ways and not lose new audiences?" Mazzara asks. "I think we have a very specific vision of the show on The Walking Dead, so each episode revolves around a particular emotional core. An audience can sit down and enjoy that episode. And, I'll be honest, the material that we've been writing – I'm not worried at all."
Despite having a comic book that is evolving concurrently with the show (with writer Kirkman involved in both), Mazzara feels he won't run out of material any time soon and that the series will continue that mix-and-match feel of both media. "We don't want to upset fans, but we don't deliver exactly the comic book either because that might bore people," he notes. If we had introduced the Governor or Michonne in season two, that would have collided with the Sophia story, and those characters would have gotten short shrift. There's only so much screen time, so it's about what is going to be satisfying. I look at it and I don't feel in any rush. We have a long-term plan for the show and I'm excited. I hope we go to 100 episodes and by the end of those episodes everyone will be happy."

text: Pangs August 19, 2002 Issue A Patch of Earth By Simon Schama Table of Contents What does a New York lament look like? Green—at any rate, if you're Irish. Down by the unhealed scar of lower Manhattan, at the northern tip of Battery Park City, a brilliant, heavily irrigated field of clover, bog grass, rushes, and heather, strewn with rocks, mourns the one million dead, and the one and a half million uprooted, of the Irish potato famine of 1845-52. Despite the fact that the Hunger Memorial, at North End Avenue, tilts up sharply over the Hudson, no one seems to be able to find it. Nancy, an Irish New Yorker, had heard about it from Joan, who had heard about it at home in County Mayo, but both women had a devil of a time tracking it down last week, and complained that there were no signs anywhere indicating its whereabouts, and no one, least of all a cop, who had a clue about what or where it was. We seem wired to grieve with greenery. Allowing the dead to dissolve into the earth, to become part of the cycle of the seasons, has, for millennia, held the promise of cheating mortality. Come spring, memory buds. Funeral barrows and mounds were among the first marks made by man on the northern European landscape, and Brian Tolle, the designer of the memorial, had the inspired idea of creating an urban tumulus—in this case, a cantilevered platform of verdure supported by a concrete base. Into this micro-landscape, planted with species native to Mayo (one of the hardest hit of the western counties) and strewn with fieldstones engraved with the names of all the counties of Ireland, is packed the memory of the calamity. A walk up the hill becomes a journey from Old World ruin to New World redemption. At the bottom stands a ruined stone cottage, dismantled in Mayo and reassembled here, its end gables and hearthstone intact. It is roofless, a reminder of the evictions that followed the famine. At the brow of the hill is a rough-hewn standing stone, a cross cut into its face. From the retaining wall at the top, the view opens to the glittering river, the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island—and the cranes and towers of American commerce on the New Jersey bank. The experience of the place suddenly doubles in significance: both trauma and hope, departure and arrival, exile and rescue. Walking the memorial's perimeter, one becomes aware that what appears from the front to be a meadow turns out, when seen from the side, to be ship-shaped, the prow pointing toward the Hudson. By having the landscape virtually enact the story, Tolle neatly sidestepped the figurative-abstract dilemma facing designers of historical memorials. Figurative monuments are habitually presented as the populist choice: statuary or groups that freeze an emblematic moment, even when, as at the Iwo Jima flag-raising, that moment was itself conceived with commemorative publicity in mind. For historians committed to the absolute inimitability of the past, these totems come painfully close to kitsch, three-dimensional boosters of the movie event. In Stirling, Scotland, no one paid much attention to the statue of a whiskered William Wallace until the making of "Braveheart," at which point a second statue, at its base, of Mel Gibson dressed as the Hero, was celebrated by flocks of pilgrims as "more real." Abstract monuments, on the other hand, run the risk of philosophical remoteness from lived experience; their symbolic forms are too rarefied to trigger memories of dates, places, and people. Only occasionally, as with Ossip Zadkine's "Destroyed City," in Rotterdam, which commemorates the Luftwaffe bombing with a stylized figure whose upraised arms suggest both defenseless entreaty and ferocious defiance, can the two genres successfully marry. The Hunger Memorial makes these alternatives moot. Its tiny scale—a fragment of Ireland torn from the blighted whole—reminds the visitor of the unviable minuteness of the lots that, when the potatoes rotted, left millions destitute. But the grassy hill, a piece of the auld sod stripped of sentimentality but not of emotion, is also meant as a space for meditation: how could the greatest famine in nineteenth-century Europe have persisted in the back yard of the wealthiest empire in the world? Anything resembling a linear narrative of the famine has been studiously avoided, to allow for a display of quotations, homilies, and data recitations, deliberately jumbled, so that George Pataki shares wall space with Tocqueville (nice for the Governor). Genuinely heartbreaking moments of witness are crowded out by social-studies pieties relating the number of Americans who are obese. Such pedagogy could not have been more wrongheaded, reducing history to screen-crawl captioning. The most telling quotation is from Charles Trevelyan, the British Treasury official in charge of famine relief, who, as people ate wild cabbage and buried their babies, opined that the best thing for Ireland would be for the misfortune to teach the Irish "to depend upon themselves for developing the resources of their country, instead of having recourse to the assistance of government on every occasion." Government, in other words, was the problem, not the solution. One can emerge from this tunnel of obtuseness, gaze north and south at the canyons of capitalism, and marvel at the certainties of the rich.

Diabetes Health Center
Depression Raises Risk for Type 2 Diabetes
June 8, 2009 -- Treating depression improves insulin resistance in patients at risk for type 2 diabetes, a new study shows.
The research strongly suggests that depression is a direct risk factor for type 2 diabetes and that treating depression may protect against the disease.
The link between depression and diabetes has long been recognized, with some studies showing people with type 2 diabetes have twice the risk for depression as the general population.
But it has not been clear if lifestyle factors associated with both depression and type 2 diabetes -- such as being overweight, poor nutrition, and lack of exercise -- explain the association.
While these factors are important, the new research adds to the evidence that biological as well as lifestyle factors contribute to type 2 diabetes, researcher Julie Wagner, PhD, of the University of Connecticut Health Center, tells WebMD.
Wagner's study was presented Saturday at a meeting of the American Diabetes Association in New Orleans.
"Insulin resistance is the hallmark of type 2 diabetes, and this study shows that treating depression is associated with improved insulin resistance," Wagner tells WebMD.
Depression and Diabetes
The study included 55 people considered at risk for type 2 diabetes enrolled in a diabetes-prevention program. Most of the participants obese had prediabetes.
Using a widely accepted test for depression, one in three study participants was found to be clinically depressed and about one in five of these patients was taking antidepressant drugs.
Depressed participants who were not being treated had significantly greater insulin resistance than study participants who were not depressed. But treatment for depression appeared to improve insulin sensitivity, with depressed participants on antidepressant therapy having similar insulin sensitivity to non-depressed participants.
The difference remained even after the researchers controlled for physical activity, which is protective against both insulin resistance and depression.
"Basically the depressed people on medication looked like the non-depressed people in terms of insulin sensitivity," Wagner says.
Stress Hormones and Belly Fat
The findings support a recently published analysis of more than a dozen studies suggesting that depression is a much stronger risk factor for type 2 diabetes than diabetes is for depression.
There are several theories about how depression may contribute to type 2 diabetes, but the most widely cited theory involves the stress hormone cortisol.
Cortisol is a key player in blood sugar metabolism and insulin sensitivity.
High cortisol levels are also associated with increased fat deposits around the abdomen, or belly fat, which is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes.
In short, the theory suggests, the more depressed someone is, the more cortisol they produce, which leads to more belly fat and more diabetes, says Wagner.
Depression may also influence type 2 diabetes risk by disrupting the immune system or levels of serotonin, which helps modulate metabolic function as well as mood, Wagner says.
Depression and diabetes researcher Patrick Lustman, PhD, tells WebMD that understanding how depression influences diabetes could have major implications for the management of at-risk patients.
Lustman is a professor of psychiatry at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.
"When you think of interventions that target both depression and diabetes, physical activity has to be at the top of the list," he tells WebMD. "Exercise is the most powerful preventive medicine we have for type 2 diabetes, and it is arguably among the most powerful treatment for depression."

Your level is currently
If the level is below 70 or you are experiencing symptoms such as shaking, sweating or difficulty thinking, you will need to raise the number immediately. A quick solution is to eat a few pieces of hard candy or 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey. Recheck your numbers again in 15 minutes to see if the number has gone up. If not, repeat the steps above or call your doctor.
People who experience hypoglycemia several times in a week should call their health care provider. It's important to monitor your levels each day so you can make sure your numbers are within the range. If you are pregnant always consult with your health care provider.
Congratulations on taking steps to manage your health.
However, it's important to continue to track your numbers so that you can make lifestyle changes if needed. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.
Your level is high if this reading was taken before eating. Aim for 70-130 before meals and less than 180 two hours after meals.
Even if your number is high, it's not too late for you to take control of your health and lower your blood sugar.
One of the first steps is to monitor your levels each day. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.

if someone you love has passed away and they believed in Christ and you truly know they are rejoicing with the Lord, then you'll realize that the only moments of sorrow you have are purely self-centered and to wish them back is not for their good. not to say it in a condemning way but so for my own sake, I'll remember it.
its personal
my brother died on wednesday.
these past 3 days have lasted a lifetime.
i found out what it really means when your heart hurts. different than when a boy doesn't like you anymore. different than when your parents get mad at you, different than when your biggest plans get cancelled or someone says the most horrible thing to you imaginable. your heart can break in more way than one, into more pieces than there are stars.
but i've also learned what true comfort is. and how its not found in the sweetest words that have found my ears. its not in a tender hug that pulled me close. not on throwing myself onto the last smell of his body or losing control.
for which of these last when you look into the melting eyes of your mom who longs to hold her boy one last time? when you realize one you shared your secrets with and watched as we grew into adults, will never again walk into your room to tell you his latest battle?
what holds, what is firm, what is real, is sitting at the feet of the Lord. knowing my brother is feeling whole, and finally having the joy that could never be known to him here. and when i look at the faces of my family as we feel a great part of us missing, i can also rejoice that i got to be a part of one of the most wonderful men to have walked the earth. and take comfort in the fact that I will, indeed, see him again
i found him
this weekend i had a little taste of life with possibly the most amazing person in existence.
life without them is just not the same. i want it back, and i want it permanent. i am a horribly selfish person and i am afraid to drive them away with pulling them close, but how can i help myself. i am terribly bad at being alone.
there's a hole there now that never starts to stop leaving me alone
rant rant
so i a going to start working out at a local gym three times a week, starting Monday & 2 of my best friends are doing it with me. i am doing it to get fit, NOT lose weight. if anything i will gain mass.
tonight mom made dinner and she made me half the proportion she made my dad and brother and i get that they eat more but i was so hungry and she made this comment about 'helping me out' since i'll be going to the gym. like. i fucking am going to lost weight or something. i am so skinny and i am doing it to get in shape so when i do my missions i wont die and i can actually d some good and i felt so trigger and its been about 2 years and i just really got put into a bad place, mentally and i jst need to get this out ugh. i only weight about 115# btw
Tonight, I forgave Jeremy. Not because what he did was okay, or because he even deserved it. But because I no longer want to carry around a punishment for something I didn't do; that I don't deserve.
Because if I am a follower of Christ, and go as far as to claim His name, my heart needs to be saturated in love and a forgiveness that asks my Father to forgive the one crucifying me.
ok paige chill he's just a dude chill ok
it was about the time i realized i spent at least an hour creeping his photos and thinking about him incessantly and talking late into the night with him and telling him things i dont normally tell people
that i realized i fancy him, quite alot

Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Memphis Grizzlies Game Two (Thunder Lead Series 1-0)
Game One Leftovers
Honestly, there wasn't much to take from game one of this series. The Thunder isn't likely to start the first half the way they did or play the third quarter as badly as they did and the Grizzlies aren't likely to play the first half as bad as they did or dominate the Thunder like they did in the third. Things will probably be closer to the fourth quarter, where both teams got into a rhythm and it came down to who could execute on both ends of the floor better.
Allen vs. Durant
Tayshaun Prince lasted four whole minutes and then left due to an illness. In those four minutes, Kevin Durant pretty much had his way with him, and really any Memphis Grizzlies defender not named Tony Allen. Against Allen, Durant looked normal. Not exactly a surprise given Allen's defensive reputation, but how will that last? Durant has been great at adjusting to defense and defenders this season. Going up against Allen isn't exactly new territory for the NBA's leading scorer and if the fourth quarter is any indication, Durant may've already decided how to approach Allen. Give him an extra day of tape study and practice, and it could be a long night for whomever steps up against KD.
The Bench Battle
The Grizzlies bench was brutal in game one. If not for Tony Allen, who was virtually a starter thanks to Prince's early exit, they would've scored a combined 12 points. Don't expect them to get much better. Mike Miller is obviously a three point threat, but he's a liability defensively. Otherwise, the Grizzlies don't exactly scare OKC with anyone coming off the bench. Memphis coach Dave Joeger has a tough choice to make: gas out his starters in the first three quarters or play his bench and hope for the best. In game one, he gassed his starters. In game two, he might use his bench more, and if that's the case, expect Reggie Jackson and Caron Butler to be even better than they were in game one. I'd say Jeremy Lamb and Perry Jones could have big games as well, but God forbid Scott Brooks give them playing time.
The Third Wheel
Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are going to get theirs. When Serge Ibaka is getting his, that's when OKC is at their most dangerous. Ibaka got his on Saturday. He finished with 17 points, missed only two shots, added four blocks, and changed a number of shots in the paint. Ibaka has to work harder on defense in this series given that he'll likely be matched up against Zach Randolph or Marc Gasol at all times, but as long as his offensive game doesn't suffer, OKC will be just fine.
Flipping A Switch
OKC didn't exactly have a great finish to their season. They lost two of their last three games and barely squeeked by the Detroit Pistons in their one win. That didn't matter on Saturday. It's almost become cliche to say that "the NBA regular season doesn't matter to a lot of teams" but it's becoming quite true. For the Thunder, the regular season didn't matter. It's all about whether or not they win a title. Players on OKC realize that and probably went through the motions in the final week of a long regular season. So when the playoffs started on Saturday, OKC flipped the switch and we saw the result. Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant aren't going to allow their team to go through the motions at this point. The Thunder are in playoff mode, and as long as they stay healthy, that's a scary thing.

Here are a few rappers and singers who will make you do a double take once you find out just how old they really are. Check out 15 Artists That Are Older Than You Think.
Toni Braxton opens up about her personal struggles and bankruptcy on 'The Tavis Smiley Show.'
After releasing their No. 1 Adult R&B single, 'Hurt You,' Toni Braxton and Babyface return with a follow-up song that will certainly be a major hit for the powerhouse duo. The second single, 'Where Did We Go Wrong,' is a heartbreaking ballad about a failed relationship.
R&B superstars Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, Ariana Grande, Toni Braxton and Babyface ring in the holiday season with yuletide ditties on NBC's annual holiday special, 'Christmas in Rockefeller Center.'
Leave it to Toni Braxton and Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds to not only make 'Hurt You,' a ballad centered on crossing the line, so irresistibly catchy, but also create a stimulating visual to accompany it.
Toni Braxton has experienced triumph and hardship in her storied career. From successful albums to health scares to tax woes, the songbird is a true soul survivor. She plans to tell it all in her new biography, 'Unbreak My Heart.'
Toni Braxton and Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds have 16 Grammys and multiples hits between them; the accolades say they're perfectly capable of producing good music. The two are prepping the release of a duets album, 'Love, Marriage & Divorce,' and now the first track off the project from the almost unfairly talented singers arrives.
Toni Braxton gave fans quite a show as her barely-there dress slipped off her curvaceous figure during her concert performance in New Brunswick, N.J. Lucky for us, it was all caught on video.
As LaFace's first female solo signee, Toni Braxton was all about the voice. At a time when Whitney Houston was reigning supreme off 'The Bodyguard,' Toni seemed to be a response for a cooler more urban vocalist. She had the voice and the appeal for a young crowd listening to new jack swing.

Do you like to watch action movies? Of course you do – how could you not? After all, modern cinematography is ever evolving, providing the viewers with brand new experiences, such as the 3D technologies, higher frame rate as well as top quality visuals. However, even though modern action movies are full of special effects, insane choreography, incredible scenery and ingenious plot twists, it is hard to deny that most of us at times really miss the good old action films of the 20th century. Indeed, just think about all the great movies we used to watch when we were kids – Rambo, Terminator, Die Hard, Universal Soldier, even Indiana Jones.
Of course, nowadays all of those films have new sequels but they do not really feel like the movies we love so very much. They have become way too serious or way too silly and they cannot satisfy our sense of nostalgia. Nevertheless, if you are a true fan of old school flicks, there is one movie franchise that can get you excited. Needless to say, we are talking about the Expendables – an amazing mash up of the greatest action stars in the history of Hollywood. Created and produced by the famous Sylvester "Rambo" Stallone, the Expendables is basically an old school action movie with huge budget and awesome cast that will provide you with lots of pure fun. Furthermore, if you have already seen the first two parts of the franchise and really want to watch the third one, we simply cannot help but recommend you to definitely go to the http://theexpendables3film.com web site and learn where to download Expendables 3 right now! That is right – if you are super hyped about the movie, do not waste your time and discover more about the Expendables 3 Mp3.

Sylvester Stallone assembles a dream team once more and this time the Expendables will have to encounter their deadliest enemy yet. And in case you want to take part in the epic battle before anyone else, do not hesitate to visit the above-mentioned online page and check out the Expendables 3 full movie today.

The Allen animal shelter receives a monthly average of about 40 dead-bird calls, compared with about 10 before West Nile, supervisor Vikki Francis says. Like many area shelters, Allen's explains to callers that West Nile isn't transmitted from birds to humans. Employees then give callers the choice of either picking up the bird themselves or having an animal control officer drive over and do it for them.
"We usually have to go out there because they don't want to touch it," Francis says.

Amherst (WKBW) A retail giant opened its doors Wednesday morning in Amherst as the new Walmart Supercenter held its grand opening. But as balloons covered the entrance, the opening of the new superstore is not a cause for celebration for some local residents.
Thousands of square feet of merchandise went on sale with the grand opening of the newest Walmart on Sheridan Drive in Amherst.
"We grand opened this morning at 7 o'clock, the store was full of customers, we had a big ceremony this morning for all of our associates, and we've been busy ever since. It's been a great turnout," Walmart Store Manager Peter Illenz said.
But the huge retailer isn't good news for some small businesses nearby.
Taraq Khan operates the Super Bazaar, a small store next door to Walmart.
"Since I've been here for twenty years, I'm a little bit concerned," he said.
But operating in the shadows of the huge new store, the fear of losing business isn't the only concern.
"It's a lot of cars. I find it very tough to get out of my store. So imagine how my customers feel," Khan said.
A new traffic signal was put up on Sheridan Drive to help ease congestion problems, but some residents are still upset.
"Right now it looks unbearable, and everybody in the area did fight it, but we lost," local resident Phillip Imerese said.
"I don't think they thought that much about it when they planned on putting it here as far as the traffic goes," resident Joanne Meggenhofen added.
As the automatic doors continue to open for more and more customers, those opposing Walmart recognized the only course of action they have left.
"There is nothing we can do about it. They're here. They're here to stay. I guess we're here to bear with them," Imerese said.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - American Civil Liberties Union officials say Gov. Rick Scott and the Florida Legislature have mounted an unprecedented attack on civil liberties over the past two years.
The ACLU of Florida issued a report Thursday on actions by the group and others in the courts of law and public opinion and at the ballot box to protect voting, free speech and other rights.
The organization has been involved in 11 lawsuits as part of that effort. They include four still pending cases challenging drug testing of welfare applicants and state employees, a limitation on doctors asking patients about gun ownership and a purge of noncitizens from voting rolls.
An ACLU lawyer said Florida has been "kind of a petri dish" for social experiments being copied and watched by other states.

Who needs a toothpick, when you got your birth mother's finger?
Tish Cyrus got some gunk out of her 16-year-old daughter's teeth at the premiere of Miley's new movie on Thursday.
A mother's work is never done.
I hope she doesn't lick her to keep her clean.
that is so unethical of her...i wonder why her mom let her live in this world...arghhh!
I've always wondered if this little girl had a hair lip and had work done on it. Shes really not that cute anyway.
It will take a jack hammer to get the crap out of those horsey teeth! This girl is FUGLY and she is the worst role model for young girls. She is 16 and dating a 20 year old dirty panty model. Justin Gastin is living with buck tooth and her family.... that is a felony. This girl cannot speak unless she has a wad of gum in her mouth and she is spitting everywhere.
Miley... the teeth need to go! ICK
Miley was on Jay Leno tonight, it looks like she grew 10 feet and her nasty teeth got bigger. Her voice has definitely changed, she sounded horrible. And her hair was hanging in face, and eww...it was icky. Where was Billy and Justin? This girl does not have the LOOKS or TALENT. She should be working in a horse corral.
That is disgusting!! God I hope that movie is a dismal failure so maybe she will just fade away and we won't be assaulted by her singing anymore and the stores will stop selling all that crap with her face on it. I mean really do you ever see anybody actually with that stuff?
Getting lip gloss out/lipstick out of her teeth
Its name is TOOTH BRUSH and FLOSS. Dumb asses.
TMZ, every time you use the term Birthmother with these celebs you are giving the impression that the children were Adopted by someone else.. As for Miley and her mom you would have photographed her for having something in her teeth.
either way they can't win . Aren't there any celbs over 18 you can go after????????????
Miley is a juvenile diva and an overpublicized brat. The girl can eat apples through a three foot thick fence, get her some braces STAT. But no matter what she looks like if she's going to act like a pretentious beyotch at this age there's not much hope for her, I give it about 5 years and then we'll see her barefoot and pregnant like Jamie Lynn Spears with her career down the toilet.
Her name should be Trigger. I don't get why this fugly, buck toothed beaver is so popular. She cannot speak at all, because her dang teeth get in the way. She can't act or sing, just like the Jonas Bros... they are horrible. These idiots need to go away.
sick i would never ever say that is my daughter i would kill myself first instead of saying she is my daughter she is so stupid
What I find terribly amusing is that none of these comments were ever made before Jamie Foxx got on the bandwagon. Most of the posters here are probably ugly girls, gay boys, and jealous people who WISH with all their hearts that they had half of the looks of Miley Cyrus and the rest of the Cyrus family. It's easy to make fun of others when we can't see your ugly zit-lined faces and your overweight cellulite ridden asses! Keep hiding behind your computers because I am sure that most of the world is laughing at you when you walk down the street.
Well all your comments seem to be founded,but let me say this having a child you would do the samething for your child and it wouldn't seem gross or odd to you,and you wouldn't think twice about it.

Tattoo You
Tattoo You
Do not feel absolutely certain of anything.
Do not think it worth while to proceed by concealing evidence, for the evidence is sure to come to light.
Never try to discourage thinking for you are sure to succeed.
When you meet with opposition, even if it should be from your husband or your children, endeavor to overcome it by argument and not by authority, for a victory dependent upon authority is unreal and illusory.
Have no respect for the authority of others, for there are always contrary authorities to be found.
Do not use power to suppress opinions you think pernicious, for if you do the opinions will suppress you.
Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.
Find more pleasure in intelligent dissent than in passive agreement, for, if you value intelligence as you should, the former implies a deeper agreement than the latter.
Be scrupulously truthful, even if the truth is inconvenient, for it is more inconvenient when you try to conceal it.
Do not feel envious of the happiness of those who live in a fool's paradise, for only a fool will think that it is happiness.

Worship Chord Progressions
Learn To Play Contemporary Worship Guitar Chord Progressions!
If you listen to contemporary church music you will probably notice that there are certain chord progressions that are used quite often. In this lesson we will be taking a look at two of those progressions. The first progression is a 14541 progression in the key of G major. I will show you two different ways to play this progression so that you have some options when choosing which chord voicings to use. The second progression is a 1564 progression in the key of E major. This is probably the most common progression in this style of modern church music. I have supplied you with the TAB, notation and chord diagrams for each progression.
Let's take a look at the 14541 chord progression. We are in the key of G major so the 1 chord is a G major, the 4 chord is a C major and the 5 chord is a D major. If you are not familiar with the open chord shapes take some time to learn the chords by going through the chord diagrams that I have given you. The 14541 progression would end up being G major, C major, D major, C major and back to G major. The strumming pattern that I used for this progression is pretty typical of the contemporary praise style. Check out the TAB for the strumming details.
Now instead of playing regular open chords for this 14541 progression I went ahead and gave you some less common chord shapes for the G, C and D chords that you can use to play the progression. These chords use mostly just the top four strings for a completely different and lighter sound. Again, if you are not familiar with the shapes just check out the chord diagrams or TAB.
The next progression that we are going to learn is a 1564 progression in the key of E major. In the key of E major the 1 chord is E major, the 5 chord is a B major, the 6 chord is a C# minor and the 4 chord is an A major. The 1564 progression in the key of E major would be E major, B major, C# minor and A major. Check out the chord diagrams and the TAB if you do not know the shapes for the chords that we are using.
Play around with these progressions and start to try to memorize what they sound like and how the chords flow. If you work on this you will start to recognize these progressions in some of the church music that you are learning or just listening to.
If you have any questions about this or any other lessons feel free to email me by clicking on the "Ask Nate" button. Have fun!
This Lesson Has 16 Comments
hey what are you using to make the soud like that. i have a mega distortion pedal . can i make theis sound with that? please reply
this lessons has two different g Majors
I always have a hard time wrtiing my own songs on my piano without making the music sound familiar to the people. My only tip is to be creative and play around. I also have a hard time memorizing the notes of the song, or I keeping thinking that I'm incapable of wrtiing a simple song, but I don't give up. I want to thank you for showing these videos because they are very helpful!
Yes, putting out these resolving progressions like this is great Nate. (Great way to "start" writing a song, too.)
For me, what makes the last Key of E, 1, 5, 6, 4 progression is the syncopated rhythm you use… it's the melody, so to speak.
And, it can be the same Progression, with different rhythm (or Key) to change it and the chord voicing can be changed too — pending how one feels they can change chords more quickly, e.g., for "me" in this, I use Open A, other, etc.
That G on the lower 4 strings is a tough one, — I do not practice forming chords with my pinky in that D-shape coming off of any preceding chord shape… very nice tone though (as long as it's not "lost" in the mix anyway?…, acoustic solo maybe).
In general, great insights Nate. The Cadd9… I had forgotten about…, so to speak, calling it something else referring to some none theory label…, and so it goes!
As always, –take care.
thank you, thank you, thank you, so, so, so, much!!!!!!! iv been wanting to learn to coopsme a song that's the reason why i started playing piano. this is a great video because i'm a beginner at piano and it's so basic and easy. thank you!!!!
Hey Nate! I love your teaching, really happy I found you! I am worship leader in our church, I play and sing every week, having to concentrate on so many things as leader is a challenge at times, so the more I can feel totally confident in my playing the more I can dedicate to singing the song. I've been playing for around 8 years but tend to revert back to open chords while playing on Sundays as I have them really etched in my memory and can't afford to make the wrong sound, so am excited about getting those barr chords down pat too. Thanks heaps! ps I love how you cover everything for every possible style!
Good one!
How do you keep from muting the first string with that G major on the fifth fret? Even with my long, skinny fingers I can't help but mute it with my pinky
I'm sorry I mean D major on the fifth fret
Thanks for putting up this arctile. I'm unquestionably frustrated with struggling to search out relevant and rational commentary on this matter. Everybody now goes to the very far extremes to either drive home their viewpoint that either: everyone else in the planet is wrong, or two that everyone but them does not really understand the situation. Many thanks for your concise, pertinent insight.
Hi there, simply changed into alert to your blog via Google, and found that it's truly informative. I'm gonna watch out for brussels. I'll appreciate for those who proceed this in future. Many other folks will probably be benefited out of your writing. Cheers!

Chances are, if they don't get me, I'm not going to get them either.

Schizophrenia Health Center
Schizophrenia Drugs Linked to Diabetes
June 3, 2003 -- Newer schizophrenia medications have largely taken care of the nerve and muscle side effects associated with older drugs. But evidence is now mounting that some of these newer medications boost blood sugar levels and may lead to diabetes.
"It's really a substitution of one side effect for another," Michael J. Sernyak, MD, of the Yale School of Medicine, tells WebMD. "Because of the newer 'atypical' drugs, the days are gone when people literally became as rigid as a board from schizophrenia drugs."
In a new study of 121 people with schizophrenia, Yale researchers found that close to 25% of them developed high blood sugar levels while taking Clozaril, the first of these newer schizophrenia medications -- called "atypical antipsychotics."
The high blood sugar levels put them at risk of developing diabetes in the future. But the study's lead researcher says it's not an indictment of this or other newer schizophrenia drugs, which are now the first-line defense in treating schizophrenia.
Rather, his study -- and other research -- suggests that schizophrenia patients and their doctors need to be especially vigilant against diabetes during treatment.
What's the Real Cause?
But is it schizophrenia drugs that boost diabetes risk -- or schizophrenia itself?
"Apart from the drugs, schizophrenia by itself is associated with a higher frequency of diabetes than what is seen in the general population," says psychiatrist David Garver, MD, of the University of Louisville School of Medicine and a spokesman for the American Psychiatric Association.
"We don't know the exact reason, but the association is clear. So with any drug taken for schizophrenia, or with the condition itself, you are going to see a greater risk of diabetes than in people without the illness."
In fact, some studies suggest that people with schizophrenia have a four- to six-fold risk of diabetes compared with the general population -- and the rates are highest among those under age 40.
One possible explanation: Those with schizophrenia typically have higher levels of cortisol, known as the "stress hormone," because the body releases it during times of agitation. And high coristol levels can cause problems in the way blood sugar is metabolized, says Sernyak.
So What Now?
"If you realize this risk is hanging over your head, you need to try every way you can to prevent the development of diabetes. That means addressing things like weight gain or being overweight, and exercising, not smoking, and watching your diet," Sernyak says. "And patients receiving these drugs should really be treated as being at relatively high risk of developing diabetes."
His study, published in the May issue of the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, follows previous research -- including some of his own -- linking Clozaril with a higher risk of diabetes.
In a review of 38,000 schizophrenics, Sernyak reported in the American Journal of Psychiatry last year that those taking Clozaril were 25% more likely to develop diabetes than those receiving other drugs. And a Swedish study indicated that patients taking Clozaril were more than twice as likely to develop diabetes than those taking other schizophrenia medications.

Bentley drives forward with Lifestyles event this October
Bentley, in conjunction with Al-Habtoor Motors, the sole United Arab Emirates (UAE)'s Bentley Dealer, is to showcase three of its thoroughbred cars on the lawns of Dubai International Marine Club during the upcoming Lifestyles event.
Bentley will have on show its four-door saloon, the Bentley Arnage T, with its hand-built, 6.75-litre twin-turbocharged V8, as well as two Bentley Arnage Rs which will be used as test drives for serious buyers at the event. Bentley Motors, now owned by the Volkswagen Group, is benefiting from very substantial investment and is developing new models to extend still further the breadth of customers' choice.
The company's decision to participate in Lifestyles, which takes place from October 17-18th, reflects the optimism the company has in the audience that will be enjoying the two-day event. — (menareport.com)
