The New York Times: In Gun Debate, a Misguided Focus on Mental Illness
It's possible that preventing people with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and other serious mental illnesses from getting guns might decrease the risk of mass killings. Even the Supreme Court, which in 2008 strongly affirmed a broad right to bear arms, at the same time endorsed prohibitions on gun ownership "by felons and the mentally ill." But mass killings are very rare events, and because people with mentally illness contribute so little to overall violence, these measures would have little impact on everyday firearm-related killings (Dr. Richard A. Friedman, 12/17).
The Wall Street Journal: Guns, Mental Illness And Newtown
Since gun controls today are far stricter than at the time when "active shooters" were rare, what can account for the increase in these shootings? One plausible answer is the media. Cable TV in the 1990s, and the Internet today, greatly magnify the instant celebrity that a mass killer can achieve. … A second explanation is the deinstitutionalization of the violently mentally ill. A 2000 New York Times study of 100 rampage murderers found that 47 were mentally ill. In the Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry Law (2008), Jason C. Matejkowski and his co-authors reported that 16% of state prisoners who had perpetrated murders were mentally ill (David Kopel, 12/17).
The Washington Post: We Are Not Helpless Against Gun Violence
It is sometimes argued that public policy is useless in this area because it would not have prevented this specific killing or that one. But this is not the threshold for government action. The relevant question is: What policies could reasonably be argued to reduce the likelihood and severity of such incidents over time? As in matters of public health, the goals are risk and harm reduction. This would involve better services for the severely mentally ill, who are now more likely to be found in a prison than a hospital — as well as more stringent requirements on mental-health professionals to report possible threats. It may impose increased security burdens on schools. And, yes, reasonable gun restrictions are needed (Michael Gerson, 12/17).
The New York Times: What Drives Suicidal Mass Killers
For years, the conventional wisdom has been that suicide terrorists are rational political actors, while suicidal rampage shooters are mentally disturbed loners. But the two groups have far more in common than has been recognized. ... In fact, we should think of many rampage shooters as nonideological suicide terrorists. In some cases, they claim to be fighting for a cause — neo-Nazism, eugenics, masculine supremacy or an antigovernment revolution — but, as with suicide terrorists, their actions usually stem from something much deeper and more personal. There appears to be a triad of factors that sets these killers apart. The first is that they are generally struggling with mental health problems that have produced their desire to die. ... The second factor is a deep sense of victimization and belief that the killer's life has been ruined by someone else, who has bullied, oppressed or persecuted him. Not surprisingly, the presence of mental illness can inflame these beliefs. ... The third factor is the desire to acquire fame and glory through killing (Adam Lankford, 12/17).
The New York Times: Don't Blame Autism For Newtown
Let me clear up a few misconceptions. For one thing, Asperger's and autism are not forms of mental illness; they are neurodevelopmental disorders or disabilities. Autism is a lifelong condition that manifests before the age of 3; most mental illnesses do not appear until the teen or young adult years. Medications rarely work to curb the symptoms of autism, but they can be indispensable in treating mental illness like obsessive-compulsive disorder, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Underlying much of this misreporting is the pernicious and outdated stereotype that people with autism lack empathy (Priscilla Gilman, 12/17).
USA Today: How To Best Care For Survivors
Hundreds of children successfully escaped Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton, Conn., this past week, leaving behind 20 schoolmates who were not so fortunate. But the survivors have also been wounded. The initial lifesaving response, fight or flight, which involves an outpouring of stress hormones triggered by the brain's fear center, gives way over the succeeding weeks to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). According to the National Center for PTSD, 77% of children who witness a school shooting and 35% of the kids who see violence in the area are affected. These children are headed for a rocky course filled with anger and sadness at play, feelings of alienation and low self-esteem, repeating the tragedy, and feelings that they will see warning signs before future tragedies. Luckily, psychotherapy can help these children overcome their fears and anxieties and return to a normal life (Marc Siegel, 12/17).

London, United K...
Another staple of my wardrobe, made with recycling. Pattern is a modification of my basic t-shirt pattern – slightly baggier, long sleeves, and a hood that is just two matching pieces stitched along a long curved side, then stitched to the collar in much the same way as a normal collar band. Two of them have screen prints, one has smaller pieces of patterned jersey basted to matching pieces of sweater fabric and stitched together. That one also has an asymmetric zip/ hood arrangement so the hood falls over one shoulder, 3/4 sleeves and strips that run all along the side and underarm from hem to cuff. Two of them have front pockets.
All are made from recycled clothes, mainly with thick jersey from tracksuits, with ribbing and other bits of jersey. Because of the felted/fleecy inside of tracksuit material, it's fairly easy to work with. It's not hard to find garments to cut ribbing off, but otherwise (as in the grey/red one, any stretchy jersey will suffice. Prints are hand screen-printed by me.

Ice Cream Politics: Party Flavorsby Food Network Magazine in Food Network Magazine, July 11th, 2012
Red states and blue states don't just disagree about politics — they take sides on ice cream flavors, too. In a Harris Interactive poll, Republicans preferred chocolate over other flavors (followed by vanilla and cookie dough), while Democrats chose vanilla as their favorite (chocolate came in second, and butter pecan third). Independent voters sided with the Republicans, but a majority of Americans agreed on one contentious issue: 52 percent said that hot fudge is their favorite topping.

The park sits on the site of the homestead of David G. Burnett, first provisional President of the Republic of Texas. He lived on this site from 1836 - 1858. Should be an easy find, but take a little time to enjoy the beauty of this spot.

In Brief
Posted: January 21, 2013|
Councillors 'should not be ashamed of allowances'
HULL: A city politician says councillors should "not be ashamed" of receiving extra pay or allowances for taking on additional responsibilities.
Labour councillor Rose Nicola spoke during a debate triggered by Liberal Democrat motion criticising the potential for councillors acting as directors on the city council's wholly-owned building firm KWL to be paid £5,000-a-year on top of their normal council allowances.
Cllr Nicola said: "Being paid for having extra responsibilities like this is something we as councillors should be ashamed of."
Other Labour members accused the Lib Dems of hypocrisy over the issue, claiming their councillors had accepted directors' remuneration and special responsibility allowances without questioning it while in charge at the Guildhall.
But Lib Dem councillor Eliza Mann, who moved the motion, said: "I still think it is just wrong. I am glad that some councillors on the KWL board have said that they will not take the remuneration. I can only hope that the other councillors are principled enough to make the same decision."
HULL: Cat owners are being urged to get their pets micro-chipped so lost animals can be found.
Vet staff at Hull PDSA PetAid hospital say the number of cats brought into the veterinary hospital without identification has doubled in the past two years.
Every month, injured pets without owners are brought into the Brunswick Avenue hospital for treatment.
But with no means of identification, the chances of a happy reunion are slim.
PDSA head nurse Helen Darnell said: "PDSA is not a rehoming charity and dumped animals take up space in the hospital that is desperately needed to treat poorly pets.
"Animals that are brought here without a microchip are much less likely to be reunited with their owners.
"So not only are they often injured or sick, they also have to suffer the pain of separation from their owners."

Nest Egg Rebound?
Posted By Correy Robertson On December 16, 2009 @ 12:21 pm In Money Talk | No Comments
Here is an article [1]from Newsweek today on the bounceback of 401(k)s since the stock market has rebounded as of late. However, unfortunately, workers who are very close to retirement have accounts that have less money than they did at the end of 2007 – because their accounts had more to begin with. We're talking about workers aged 55-64, who have been at their job at least 10 years. It may be ironic, but it also makes mathematical sense.
The article suggests that older workers near retirement may need to take bigger risks with their investments "in hopes of snagging bigger returns." The other suggestion: working longer. Check out the whole article for all the details on the recent studies from investment firms like Fidelity Investments and Vanguard Investments.
Check out this column [2]from the Wall Street Journal today that answers questions from readers – this one discusses unsolicited job offers. Have you ever received one? The columnist suggests that any unsolicited offer is probably a scam, and suggests ways to find out for sure.

Bulls Say
Molson Coors is the second-largest brewer in Canada and the United States. This scale helps the firm leverage fixed costs and operate a very cost-efficient supply chain.
When the employment situation in North America improves, beer volume is likely to pick up, enhancing Molson Coors' financial performance.
SABMiller's appetite for global consolidation could make Molson Coors an attractive acquisition.

Bears Say
The company operates in mature, low-growth beer geographies where price wars can hurt profitability.
Molson Coors' premium lagers face stiff competition from a multitude of craft brews as well as spirits and wine.
Low levels of employment in the company's core markets of Canada, the U.S., and the U.K. have helped to drive down total beer volume in those countries.

We believe Molson Coors' management team has been a standard steward of shareholders' capital. While we applaud some of the team's strategic moves that have delivered an abundance of shareholder value, such as the MillerCoors joint venture, the company's

dark angel (Dec 20, 2007), !Little negi sensei (Dec 27, 2007)
Ok so heres the discussion i wanna hear about.
I am looking to get a naval piercing (belly button), but I want my freind to do it rather than getting it professionally done.
I was wondering if we could discuss the risk of getting a body piercing done by an ameteur rather than a professional,
risk of type of body jewelry used for a new piercing (specially belly button)
tools used, procedure,
and i like to hear about all your personal stories about your own body piercing whether it bein done by a porfessinal or not (and time its taking to heal)
And itd be great if anyone can give links as how to the procedure of how its done along with information about caring for your new piercing.
TAnKyU!!! ^^
Oh, and i just wanna let you all know that the poll is a public poll...

dark angel (Dec 20, 2007), !Little negi sensei (Dec 27, 2007)
well there can be a 50/50% chance of you getting AIDS we don't want that to happen
If you get it done by an amateur, well i rathre take the money and go get it done professionaly
• you dont want to catch a disease.
• you don't want to bleed to death.
• he might have no fuc*ing clue what he doing
so take the money and go to a pro ok !!!!
Yeah, Bye.
and i thinking of sterilizing the needle first by alchohol wipes, then putting it through flame to sterilize it.
i am worried about how she's gonna place the piercing, and i can only hope she knows wut she is doing. (i guess im willing to take the risk)
also i id get it professionaly done, but im not yet 18, and the fact im gettining a navel piercing, theres no way my dad would let me get it since im a boy.
so im seriously considering letting her do it, only, i wanna make sure we do it right.
also i think the risk might be the same if i get it with a professional, since one of my freinds had it done by a "profesional", but he messed up on hers, didnt pierce it deep enough, her body rejected the belly ring and tore apart, leaving an ugly scar.
Eww....well umm yeah thats the reason i would not get a belly button ring
First, you should get your belly button pierced by a reputable piercing artist, with sterile equipment and quality navel rings. You shouldn't have a friend pierce your belly button, and you also shouldn't let anyone pierce your navel with a piercing gun, like the type they use to pierce your ears at the mall. You should go to a reputable piercing artist, someone who works at either a piercing studio or a tattoo and piercing studio. You should also make sure that the equipment and jewelry that they will be using is sterilized. At most piercing studios, this will be standard operating procedure, but definitely check into this before you get pierced.
You also want to make sure that you've eaten something an hour or less before you get pierced. Eating before you get pierced helps lessen your chance of fainting from the pain. You also should not be under the influence of drugs or alcohol when you get pierced. For one thing, you want to be sure that you are making good decisions, and drugs or alcohol may impair your judgment. For another thing, alcohol thins your blood, making it a whole lot more likely that you will bleed heavily when you are pierced. Most piercing artists will refuse to pierce a person that they believe to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol for these very reasons.
Your piercing artist will normally offer you a few choices for your initial jewelry. Some piercing artists will use a captive bead ring (CBR), but a curved barbell belly button ring is a much more common choice, and tends to work better for the healing of your belly button piercing. Most piercing artists will also steer you away from anything too heavy for your initial jewelry, as heavier jewelry should only be worn with a healed navel piercing. In terms of materials, the standard is typically surgical steel, but there are a few other options offered at some piercing studios. If you are allergic to any metals, it's definitely a good idea to discuss this with your piercing artist. They may suggest that you only wear the more expensive 14k Real Gold Belly Button Rings.
When it comes time for the actual piercing, your piercing artist will clean your skin around your belly button and mark the outside and inside of your belly button with a marker or pen, and ask you if the positioning is what you want. Take your time and make sure that the dots are in the location where you envision your jewelry going through your belly button. After the dots are in the right spot, you will lie down on your back, and your piercing artist will put a clamp on the skin that is about to be pierced. Many people say that the clamp is actually more painful than the piercing itself, but that is certainly debatable.
The piercing is accomplished by putting a pretty substantial needle through the skin of your navel; the good news is that you won't see it happening. There will be some pain involved, of course, but the pain is tolerable for most people. There is also inevitably going to be some bleeding involved with the piercing, and your piercing artist will work to get the bleeding to stop or slow to the point where it has virtually stopped. It is entirely possible that the bleeding may restart after you leave the piercing studio, as your new piercing is a wound at this point. Just be sure to clean the blood off with a clean, disposable substance (cotton gauze is a good choice), and be as gentle as you can with your new piercing. Be sure to listen to any aftercare instructions that your piercing artist gives you, or, better yet, get a written instruction sheet for aftercare.
(Sry i dont know how to quote from other sites but if a moderator does well ok then sry)
but here is the site i seriously tried to quote.....
Belly Button Ring Piercing
Yeah, Bye.
well on your first?yeah probably but you might want to search that pm me and ill give you an answer but i think its ok. The people that do these things know but i think that will be probably your best choice
Yeah, Bye.
well im for one am not all for body piercing anyway, but if i was going to have it done it would diffently be done by at least someone who knows full well how to do it correctly
1st Sig finished 12-20-09
I would rather get my piercings done professionally rather than have a friend do it, unless they know how to sterilize the equipment well enough like a professional.
I got my nose done professionally and I am glad I did. I would never let a friend do it as there is more change of infection and that would result it going to the hospital to have removed.

DorobekInsider: IAC's new leadership — Sara DeCarlo lays out her priorities
Tuesday - 7/28/2009, 7:28am EDT
Sara DeCarlo last week took the helm of the Industry Advisory Council as chairwoman.
We had her on Federal News Radio 1500 AM's Daily Debrief with Chris Dorobek and Amy Morris last week. You can hear that conversation here:
Here is her opening message to IAC members:
"Openness, speed, collaboration, innovation" – these are some of the watch words of today's federal IT environment. Our new Executive Committee has crafted an agenda that leverages many of the activities started last year and drives us forward as a vibrant organization that reflects its community. We have met with the ACT leadership to ensure that our objectives are mutually aligned; as an ACT-IAC organization we share "one vision, one community."
The 2009 IAC agenda focuses on what we are calling the "Four Cornerstones". They will be the foundation for additional building blocks shape our activities for the year. The Cornerstones are: to increase government involvement; to strengthenIAC's role as a thought leader and trusted advisor; to create and implement a leadership development program; and to develop a business model designed to sustain and grow the organization.
Our goal is to create a content-rich collaborative environment that draws together government and industry through a wide variety of forums: conferences, programs, SIG activities, and other events. We are undertaking a number of initiatives in support of these cornerstone activities. Each initiative has an assigned lead from the Executive Committee with metrics and a timeline. In this way, we expect to be accountable to each other and to our members.
The Four Cornerstones are posted on our marvelous new website under http://www.actgov.org/knowledgebank/documentsandpresentations/Documents/Other%20Documents/Four_Cornerstones.pdf for your review and comment. Ours is a continually changing environment, so we will add new items and modify existing ones as necessary. MyIAC email address is email@example.com or watch the EC blog or Facebook (Sara King DeCarlo) for quick updates.
We welcome your participation and your feedback. It is your involvement which continues to make ACT-IAC an exciting organization.
On behalf of the Executive Committee, let me say that we are energized and engaged and are looking forward to a great year – only 343 days left to accomplish what we have set out to do! We want you to join with us as we architect our future!

MOSCOW, Aug. 4 (UPI) — Police in a small city south of Moscow say they've arrested a suspect in the killing of a family of five, including three children.
Authorities in Tula, 135 miles from Moscow, said the suspect was a 26-year-old man who met the family in 2008 when he fixed their computer and the motive for the killings was robbery, RIA Novosti reported Thursday.
The victims — a 35-year-old woman, her three sons ages 4, 5 and 9 and their grandmother — were found in the bathroom of their home by police after neighbors had alerted authorities to an unpleasant odor.
Police said they believe the victims were beaten to death on the night of July 25.
A police spokesman said the suspect was the mother's "common-law husband."

Robert Griffin III has taken the NFL by storm in his rookie season with the Washington Redskins. Not only has the Heisman Trophy winner excited the league with his play on the field, but he has won the hearts of the fans as well, who have helped make his jersey the No. 1 seller in the NFL from the time he was drafted through the Thanksgiving Weekend games. RG3 is the No. 1 jersey as a rookie, which is impressive, considering some of the other elite players he beat out in this category. Peyton Manning comes in at No. 2 with his new Denver Broncos jersey, followed by Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers at No. 3. Here is a look at the complete top 10 list. 1. Robert Griffin III – QB – Washington Redskins 2. Peyton Manning – QB – Denver Broncos 3. Aaron Rodgers – QB – Green Bay Packers 4. Eli Manning – QB – New York Giants 5.

Inspections, Compliance, Enforcement, and Criminal Investigations
Lake Imaging Center 12-Oct-01
Food and Drug Administration
Detroit District
1560 East Jefferson Avenue
Detroit, MI 48207-3179
Telephone: 313-226-6260
October 12, 2001
Christine A. Tremper, M.D.
Supervising Radiologist
Lake Imaging Center
2520 Lake Avenue
Fort Wayne, IN 46805
Dear Dr. Tremper:
We are writing you because on October 3, 2001, your facility was inspected by a representative of the State of Indiana acting on behalf of the Food & Drug Administration (FDA). The inspection revealed a serious regulatory problem involving the mammography at your facility.
Under a United States Federal law, the Mammography Quality Standards Act Of 1992 MQSA), your facility must meet specific requirements for mammography. These requirements help protect the health of women by assuring that a facility can perform quality mammography.
The inspection revealed the following Level 1 finding at your facility:
1. Processor QC records were missing at least five (5) consecutive days during the month of May, 2001 and mammograms were processed on those days.
The specific problem noted above appeared on your MQSA Facility Inspection Report (copy enclosed), which was issued at the close of the inspection. This problem is identified as Level 1 because it identifies a failure to meet a significant MQSA requirement.
Because this condition may be symptomatic of serious underlying problems that could compromise the quality of mammography at your facility, it represents a violation of law which may result in FDA taking regulatory action without further notice to you. These actions include, but are not limited to, placing your facility under a Directed Plan of Correction, charging your facility for the cost of on-site monitoring, assessing civil money penalties up to $10,000 for each failure to substantially comply with MQSA standards, suspension or revocation of your facility?s FDA certificate, or obtaining a court injunction against further mammography.
In addition, your response should address the Level 2 findings that were listed on the inspection report provided to you at the close of the inspection. These level 2 findings are:
1.There was no evaluation of the [redacted] mammography system by a qualified medical physicist after replacement of a photocell for automatic exposure control.
2. Processor QC records were missing at least 10% but less than 30% of the days of operation during the month of May, 2001.
3. Phantom image QC records were missing at least two (2) weeks but less than four (4) for the [redacted] mammography system.
4. Phantom image QC records were missing at least two (2) weeks but less than four (4) for the [redacted] mammography system.
It is necessary for you to act on this matter immediately. Please explain to this office in writing within fifteen (15) working days from the date you received this letter:
- the specific steps you have taken to correct the Level 1 and 2 violations noted in this letter;
- each step your facility is taking to prevent the recurrence of similar violations;
- equipment settings (including technique factors), raw test data, and calculated final results, where appropriate; and
- sample records that demonstrate proper record keeping procedures, if the findings relate to quality control or other records. (Note: Patient names or identification should be deleted from any copies submitted)
Please submit your response to:
Mr. David M. Kaszubski
Director Compliance Branch
U.S. Food and Drug Administration
1560 East Jefferson Ave.
Detroit, MI 48207
Please note that FDA regulations do not preclude a State from enforcing its own State mammography laws and regulations. In some cases, these requirements may be more stringent than FDA?s. When you plan your corrective actions, you should consider the more stringent State requirements, if any. You should also send a copy to the State of Indiana radiation control office that conducted the inspection referenced in this letter. You may choose to address both the FDA and any additional State requirements in your response.
Finally, you should understand that there are many FDA requirements pertaining to mammography. This letter only pertains to findings of your inspection and does not necessarily address other obligations you have under law. You may obtain general information about all of FDA?s requirements for mammography facilities by contacting the Mammography Quality Assurance Program, Food and Drug Administration, P.O. Box 6057, Columbia, MD 21045-6057 (1-800-838-7715) or through the Internet at http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/mammography.
If you have more specific questions about mammography facility requirements, or about the content of this letter, please feel free to contact Mr. Dennis E. Swartz, Radiological Health Expert, at 313-226-6260 Ext.155.
Sincerely yours,
Joann M. Givens
District Director

Felger and Massarotti opened the day talking about the Boston Red Sox and the acquisition of Houston Astros closer Mark Melancon.
The Sox traded infielder Jed Lowrie and right-handed pitcher Kyle Weiland for right-handed closer Mark Melancon of the Houston Astros. Is the Melancon the answer for the Sox closer role?
Why would the Astros give up Melancon for nothing? How serviceable is he, especially come the late innings of a game?
Are the Red Sox still looking for more bullpen help? Are they, or will they, still be looking for a big name closer?
Will the exit of old players and entrance of new ones help change the personality of the Sox?

LANHAM, Md. (CBSDC) — A water main break is slowing traffic along a portion of Adelphi Road in Hyattsville.
The main broke around 12:30 a.m. Friday, flooding the street near Belcrest Road.
Approximately 30 customers will be without water as crews work to repair the pipe.
WSSC crews continue to make repairs to a much larger 54-inch water main in the southern portion of the county. Officials originally feared nearly 200,000 customers would be without water for up to five days as the pipe was replaced.

Of course we'd like you to stay with us at Black Star Farms and savor Corey's root vegetable waffles for breakfast, but each of the other six winery inns mentioned has something great in store for winter visitors too. Check them out here.

Oh boy, do I remember those waffles. Ummmmmmm.
Never did I think that I would go for root vegetables waffles but it was one of the best meals that Corey has prepared in our many stays at the Star.
Can't wait for his next treat!!

Planes, Trains & Automobiles [1987]
Car Rental Agent:
I really don't care for the way you're speaking to me.
And I really don't care for the way your company left me in the middle of fucking nowhere with fucking keys to a fucking car that isn't fucking there. And I really didn't care to fucking walk down a fucking highway and across a fucking runway to get back here to have you smile at my fucking face. I want a fucking car RIGHT FUCKING NOW!
Car Rental Agent:
May I see your rental agreement.
I threw it away.
Car Rental Agent:
Oh boy.
Oh boy what?
Car Rental Agent:
You're fucked!
What's the flight situation?
Simple. There's no way on earth we're going to get out of here tonight. We'd have more luck playing pickup sticks with our butt-cheeks than we will getting a flight out of here before daybreak.
I guess we'll find out soon enough.
Yeah, but by the time the airline cancels this flight, which they will sooner or later, you'd have more of a chance to find a three-legged ballerina than you would a hotel room.
Are you saying I could be *stuck* in Wichita?
I'm saying you *are* stuck in Wichita.
Eh, look, I don't want to be rude, but I'm not much of a conversationalist, and I really want to finish this article, a friend of mine wrote it, so...
Don't let me stand in your way, please don't let me stand in your way. The last thing I want to be remembered as is an annoying blabbermouth... You know, nothing grinds my gears worse than some chowderhead that doesn't know when to keep his big trap shut... If you catch me running off with my mouth, just give me a poke on the chubbs...
State Trooper:
What the hell are you driving here?
We had a small fire last night, but we caught it in the nick of time.
State Trooper:
Do you have any idea how fast you were going?
Funny enough, I was just talking to my friend about that. Our speedometer has melted and as a result it's very hard to see with any degree of accuracy exactly how fast we were going.
Cab Dispatcher:
Where are you going?
Cab Dispatcher:
Cab Dispatcher:
Don't you know you're in St. Louis?
Yes I do.
Cab Dispatcher:
Why don't you try the airlines? It's faster and you get a free meal.
If I wanted a joke, I'd follow you into the john and watch you take a leak.
You wanna hurt me? Go right ahead if it makes you feel any better. I'm an easy target. Yeah, you're right, I talk too much. I also listen too much. I could be a cold-hearted cynic like you... but I don't like to hurt people's feelings. Well, you think what you want about me; I'm not changing. I like... I like me. My wife likes me. My customers like me. 'Cause I'm the real article. What you see is what you get.
You play with your balls a lot.
I do NOT play with my balls.
Larry Bird doesn't do as much ball-handling in one night as you do in an hour!
Are you trying to start a fight?
No. I'm simply stating a fact. That's all. You fidget with your nuts a lot.
You know what'd make me happy?
Another couple of balls, and an extra set of fingers?
I know you don't I? I'm usually very good with names but I'll be damned if I haven't forgotten yours.
You stole my cab.
I never stole anything in my life.
I hailed a cab on park avenue this afternoon and before I could get in it. You stole it.
You're the guy who tried to get my cab. I knew I knew you! You scared the bejesus out of me. Come to think of it it was easy to get a cab during rush hour.
Forget it.
I can't forget it. I am sorry. I had no idea it was your cab. Let me make it up to you. How about a nice hot dog and a beer.
No thanks.
Just a hot dog then.
I'm very picky about what I eat.
Some coffee? Milk? Soda? Tea? Life Savers? Slurpee?
Sir, please.
Just let me know. I'm here. I knew I knew you!
You know I had a feeling that when we parted ways. We would somehow wind up back together again. I've never seen a guy get picked up by his testicles before. Lucky thing for you that cop passed by when he did. Otherwise, you'd be lifting up your schnutz to tie you shoes. I'm sorry. That's terrible. Do you have any idea how glad I am I didn't kill you?
(High voice) Do you have any idea how glad I'd be if you had?
Oh, come on, pal, you don't mean that. Remember what I said about going with the flow?
How am I supposed to go with the flow when the rental car agency leaves me in a 100 acre parking lot with keys to a car that isn't there then I have to hike back 3 miles to find out they don't have any more cars?
I got a car, no sweat at all.
Well Del, you're a charmed man.
Oh, I know. You just go with the flow.
Like the twigs of the rivers in a mighty long stream.
You know everything is not an anecdote. You have to discriminate. You choose things that are funny or mildly amusing or interesting. You're a miracle! Your stories have NONE of that. They're not even amusing ACCIDENTALLY! "Honey, I'd like you to meet Del Griffith, he's got some amusing anecodotes for you. Oh and here's a gun so you can blow your brains out. You'll thank me for it." I could tolerate any insurance seminar. For days I could sit there and listen to them go on and on with a big smile on my face. They'd say, "How can you stand it?" I'd say, "'Cause I've been with Del Griffith. I can take ANYTHING." You know what they'd say? They'd say, "I know what you mean. The shower curtain ring guy. Woah." It's like going on a date with a Chatty Cathy doll. I expect you have a little string on your chest, you know, that I pull out and have to snap back. Except I wouldn't pull it out and snap it back - you would. Agh! Agh! Agh! Agh! And by the way, you know, when you're telling these little stories? Here's a good idea - have a POINT. It makes it SO much more interesting for the listener!

"Organizing the Jewels for Children raffle has been a wonderful experience for me," said Cheryl Fornash of Cheryl Fornash Jewelers. "Working with the Children's Hospital Junior Board has been delightful, and the jewelers have once again been gracious and extremely generous."

Deep Thoughts on The Little Mermaid: A Non-Exhaustive List
Repeated viewing of any movie allows you to catch things you didn't notice the first time, and so when one has seen a film enough times to recite it ad nauseum, one is bound to look beyond the suspension of disbelief most viewers enjoy, dissect its every nuance, and discover gaping holes in the story's logic. If there's any movie that fits this description for me, it's Disney's The Little Mermaid.
Not only do the Twins request it at least three times a week, it was also a VHS my two younger sisters would loop at least three times a day when we were growing up. (Fun fact: When the Twins are at my mom's house, they watch that very same VHS. It still plays perfectly.) It has recently occurred to me that–by my half-assed calculations–this incessant exposure to The Little Mermaid places it comfortably at the top of my all-time most-viewed movies list. While I'd prefer my chart-topper to be something badass like The Empire Strikes Back or Back to the Future, I guess it could be worse, right? (I'm looking at you, The Chronicles of Riddick.) Anyway, apparently watching The Little Mermaid has become my life's work, so I feel it is my duty as an expert in this field to share the following observations I've made over the years, to further enhance your own Mermaid-viewing experience:
The Jungle Gym Oracle (or, The Many Reasons Twins Are Easier Than One Kid)
"Hey… Wait a minute… Are they… twins?"
I cringed internally while sporting a winning fake smile.
It's unavoidable.
No matter where we go or what we do, people continue to be intrigued by the novelty that is having twins.
I know I shouldn't blame them. The realist in me reminds me that twins just aren't something people see every day, so I do my best to cut them a little slack.
However, for some reason, my having twins automatically issues an invitation for a surprising majority of complete strangers to walk up to us, interrupt whatever we're doing, and expect me to answer questions about my kids, as if I'm rolling a mobile freak show booth through the grocery store. "Ask me anything!" boasts a Jumbotron visible to everyone but me. "It's not like I'm trying to figure out which aisle the bastard store manager moved the diapers to while my son throws Cheerios at my face or anything. No, seriously, I want nothing more than to make small talk right now with someone I will never see again while my daughter sits in the wet diaper I need to change as soon as I check out."
Some of the most popular inquiries I receive during these impromptu press conferences include:
"Do they play together?" (No, although they live in the same house, have the same parents, and do everything together, they do not ever play together. In fact, I don't even think they've met each other.)
"Do they have their own language?" (Yes. We call it English.)
"How far apart were they born?" (Just a few feet. It was in the same room.)
And, of course, my personal favorite:
"Are they identical?" (Please don't make me explain to you why penises are not identical to vaginas.)
It still feels strange to say this, but the Twins have started school.
While I have no doubt in my mind that my little geniuses could already slaughter Doogie Howser at Jeopardy (it would be legen–wait for it–dary), this first foray into the academic world is not related to their obviously high cognitive abilities, but instead an opportunity to begin their formal education early. You see, while they were still chillaxing in their mother's uterine jacuzzi, we got them on the lengthy waiting list for a fairly exclusive toddler class conveniently held on my college's campus, and we'd watched them slowly climb their way to the top ever since.
Thus, as the new school year approached, the all-important question as to whether they would be granted access to the program hung in the air like the faint, gaseous remnants of a diaper blowout. Our hopes high, we gathered with the other families in our District who had children on the waiting list for a public announcement of the class's new students. As the odd, eccentric university spokeswoman took the stage, the tension was so thick that it needed to cut carbohydrates from its diet.
But as luck would have it, our progeny were both selected, punctuated by thumbs-up-shaped balloons falling from the rafters and commemorative t-shirts emblazoned with bow-wearing stick figures being shot into the masses. The Twins had been chosen!
Toddler Parkour
The Pseudonymous Family is moving to a new house this week. Although our current residence has served us well, it leaves little space for my wife and me to chase our little Ewoks around and has an air conditioner that was installed around the time Return of the Jedi was released. This does not bode well in the 115-degree Arizona summer, as it runs constantly and sh!tily and still does not sufficiently cool the house.
Accordingly, we're very much looking forward to our new place's additional square footage, reduced electricity bill, and gargantuan master bedroom closet organizer (a feature my wife literally dances about at its mere mention).
As we've been packing up the house, the Twins have been in rare form, no doubt thrown off by the disturbance in The Force due to their constantly-changing surroundings. While my daughter has fully integrated the word "No" into her vocabulary (Yeah. I'm in trouble.), my son has begun to test physical boundaries, exploring the limits of both furniture he's allowed on and his own body. In fact, once we'd emptied the bookshelf in his bedroom the other day, we discovered a new talent of his, as illustrated by the following footage:
Ruff-Ruff Down
We should have known better.
I don't know why we expected our son to make it all day on an outing to Santa Monica Pier without a flip-out. With t-minus two days until our big trip to California, he had spiked a fever and started barking with croup, but we didn't have any choice but to go with it. Bags were packed, hotels were booked, and my wife's vacation days were locked in.
And so here we were at the Pier, fielding a high-decibel complaint from him as he refused to walk, be carried, or sit in the stroller. My wife and I took one look at each other and knew what needed to be done–get the f*ck out of there and get him a nap.
But first, we needed to calm him down so as to mobilize him.
As is customary, we looked for "Ruh-Ruh" (a toddler pronunciation of "Ruff-Ruff," which is what our son calls his favorite toy, a stuffed Pluto). Surely, I thought, his go-to plush canine would again bring balance to The Force. But when I reached for its usual place in the diaper bag, I came up empty-handed. I dug through each pocket and checked the storage pouches on each umbrella stroller, but still no Ruff-Ruff.
"Hey," I projected to our caravan of travelers, including my wife's mother, stepfather, brother, sister, and grandmother. (We'd taken turns pushing the Twins' strollers all day, so anyone could have had it.) "Where's Pluto?"

This article was written by Matt Petrero from Predominantly Orange
With March Madness on the horizon, hundreds of teams are looking to punch their dance cards. The NCAA basketball tournament is not the only dance in town though. On March 12th, the NFL's free agency dance begins in earnest. The intriguing part of this doe-see-doe is whether or not you continue to dance with the dates you brought or if you cut in on others' dance partners. The answer is in which kind of dancing one is interested.
For the Denver Broncos, their dance partner decisions will be based on who can do the "Big Boy Polka", the "Cover-Two Step", the "Slot Catch Boogie", or the "Rock Tote Slam Dance" for not much more than a wine-and-dine dinner tab.
Big Boy Polka: the Broncos show up with defensive tackles Justin Bannan and Kevin Vickerson on either arm. Both players have served them well and could be re-signed for a decent dinner with a nice bottle of wine and some money left over for desert. In an article on Sports Illustrated, Jim Trotter outlines how Bannan, a standout at the University of Colorado, only got pressure on the QB 1.26% of the snaps he was on the field. Well with all due respect to Mr. Trotter, Bannan was not brought in to necessarily rush the QB; rather to clog up the middle and stop the run. It's a task which he performed well. So drawing attention to that statistic is not representative of the player. The same could be said of Vickerson, a 7th round draft pick out of Michigan State in 2005.
Based on their ages, the interest will vary on the free agency market. Bannan will be 34-years-old when the 2013 season kicks off and Vickerson will be 30-years-old. Vickerson is likely to draw more suitors and garner a larger contract. So what I see happening is Denver inking Bannan to another one year deal and letting Vickerson walk. In keeping Bannan in the fold to defend the run, the Broncos will surely cut in on somebody else's date. In addition to drafting from a strong pool of college players at the DT position in the upcoming draft, look for John Elway to wine and dine someone like Desmond Bryant from the Oakland Raiders, or Chris Canty from the New York Giants. All three of the potential dance partners can stymie the run and provide pressure up the middle. And that is something the Broncos do need to create more sack opportunities for Elvis Dumerville and Von Miller.
Cover-Two Step: We have all belabored the secondary failures ad-nauseum in the divisional playoff game and frankly, I'm still nausaeus over it. Especially since you really cannot point fingers at our three free agent dance partners, Jim Leonhard, David Bruton, and Tracy Porter. In fact, Porter didn't even play in the game due to injury. With the Broncos young depth at DB (and yes, I include Rahim Moore in that equation) and the strong college stable of cornerback and safety, I can see Elway and Co. keeping one of ours (probably David Bruton due to his special teams contributions) and going after somebody else's partner. One possible candidate for us to steal away might be a player like Dashon Goldson from the San Francisco 49ers or William Moore from the Atlanta Falcons, both safties. Since all indications from the Broncos front office is that Champ Bailey is not going to be moved from cornerback to safety, look for the powers-that-be to sure up a position that needs a little reinforcement. And in relation to Darelle Revis, it is my belief that the price and problems will be too high.
Slot Catch Boogie: One of the most important yet under-appreciated dances at the soiree is performed by the slot receivers. The Broncos have had a pretty darn good dance partner for four of the past six years in Brandon Stokely. In addition to settling in the Front Range with his family and having played four seasons for the Broncos, Stokely has played five seasons with Denver quarterback Peyton Manning. The familiarity with the system and the city is something that has Stokely desirous to stay put.
Thus, the Broncos might be able to keep a reliable receiver for just dinner, no wine required. If they decide to go in a different direction however, Wes Welker of the New England Patriots and Danny Amendola of the St. Louis Rams are currently shaking their tail feathers on the dance floor. Welker has been all-world in New England for the past six seasons and Tom Brady's favorite receiver. He will come with a heavy price tag. We might be looking at dinner, drinks, a Broadway play, and maybe even a piece of jewelry. Amendola is an intriguing option. He is the youngest of the three and coming off an injury-plagued season, he might provide the best value. He would give the Broncos more long-term production than both of the aforementioned options and while he might cost more than Stokely, he would probably be less expensive than Welker. Amendola was a big-play receiver for a less than explosive offense in St. Louis. The key to cutting in on Jeff Fisher's dance partner is whether or not the Broncos hierarchy feel that Amendola can stay healthy enough to make that commitment.
Rock Tote Slam Dance: So we've come to the final dance of the party. Quite possibly the most intriguing decision that the Broncos will make all off season. The only running back of note that John Elway is bringing to this dance is Lance Ball. Ball comes in as a versatile back and probably will only cost Denver dinner at a national chain restaurant. So bringing him back might make sense.
Then there has been the scuttlebutt circulating the dance hall that there is a chance that bothWillis McGahee and Knowshon Moreno might be released in an effort to get one or both to re-sign at a more cap-friendly number. This would be understandable since both have had their bouts with the injury bug (Moreno more so than McGahee) and also have had a proclivity to put the rock on the ground. Denver had one of the worst turnover ratios in the NFL last year. The Broncos roving eye could see them looking to woo away a back like Chris Ivoryfrom the New Orleans Saints. There has been much talk about the possibility of signing Steven Jackson from the Rams. The nine-year veteran from Oregon State would certainly provide plenty of slam to this dance and at 30 years old at the start of the 2013 season, he probably still has 2-3 years of solid production left. The price tag on Jackson might be a little steep for a 2-3 year deal where Ivory might be a little more of a bargain. Plus, Jackson has a bit of a history of being a disgruntled dance partner so for locker room harmony, again the nod goes to Ivory.
Well now that I have exhausted every dance metaphor and cliche' in relation to the Broncos free agency dance party, all they have left to do is put on M-M-M-M-MY BOOGIE SHOES! (thank you K.C. & the Sunshine Band)


text: Among those examined, there was no statistically significant difference in arthralgias, a surrogate for arthritis, but data on self-reports indicate that arthritis was more common among those deployed to the gulf. The data suffer, however, from the problem of self reporting of a common condition that can be easily confused with other symptoms. There appears to be no statistically significant increase in the prevalence of arthralgias among veterans who underwent a medical examination.
