"This is not the first time this country has debated how to reduce gun violence," President Barack Obama said during his State of the Union address, less than two months after a horrific mass shooting in Newtown, Conn. killed 20 children and six adults. "But this time is different."
But is it really different? Politico notes that "more than 100 days [after the Newtown shootings], no bill has passed either house of Congress — and members are now off on a two-week spring break." A new CBS poll shows that only 47 percent of Americans support stricter gun control laws — down significantly from 57 percent in the aftermath of the Connecticut shooting.
Democrats — supposedly the drivers of tough gun-control laws — seem to have lost some of their zeal, too. In February, 78 percent of Democrats wanted stricter laws. Today that number is 66 percent.
Congress certainly isn't getting a lot done. Last week, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid cut Sen. Diane Feinstein's assault weapons ban out of a larger gun bill. The other big measures — universal background checks and a largely non-controversial anti-gun trafficking bill —haven't made much progress either. And Republican Sens. Rand Paul, Ted Cruz and Mike Lee have threatened to filibuster gun-control measures.
Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy (D) expressed his frustration to Politico:
People in the Congress of the United States don't want to do this. And I think they'll get some things done on trafficking, school safety perhaps, some of the background checks loopholes — but not all of them. Each time that [a shooting] happens, we'll continue to have this debate. [Politico]
Meanwhile, the NRA had its biggest fundraising month in over a decade in February, raking in $1.6 million. Gun owners are buying so much ammo that law enforcement agencies are reportedly worried about not having enough bullets.

Lea Michele Teases Debut Albumby Hilton Hater at . Comments
A few days after Glee aired an episode that paid tribute to her late boyfriend, Lea Michele has delivered happier news to fans around the world:
She's set to release her first-ever album!
The 27-year old star teased this exciting development over the weekend via a Twit pic of her in a white dress, surrounded by her glam squad, writing as a caption:
"So excited because today I'm shooting the cover for my album! Working with the amazing photographer Peggy Sirota! #Album."
Few other details about the album are available at this time, but Michele told E! News over the summer that she's "getting nervous" for the CD's release because people will actually hear it soon.
"We have the album pretty much locked," the Glee star said in June. "Everything is being mastered right now and we are just debating on what we want the first single to be."
It's safe to assume the album won't drop until 2014, and it's also safe to assume Lea need not worry.
Does anyone doubt it'll be amazing?!?
The performance director at another major English club instructed me the stat he experienced identified for valuing keepers. It the share of shots from inside of the penalty community that the keeper will save. Once you depend almost every shot the keeper faces, you credit score him with halting some straightforward balls from 15 metres. But his overall performance from photographs inside the box is known as a mark of high-quality.Journalist Uses Online video to Safe Access to Television set Information for that Deaf in Armenia

The advertising of Delany, who'll report to Zames, has by now spawned speculation about who might possibly become successful Dimon one particular day. Most people shut towards bank claimed Dimon, fifty six, does not arrange to hand more than the reins for at least five years.
http://www.kavavlam.nl/digicit... http://www.kavavlam.nl/digicit...
She'll have a huge career after Glee is over, unlike most female singers today ,she can really sing!
I do hope she does bring out an album as I am a fan of hers and of glee.
she won't lose her job at Wal Mart for this............

One lesson from opening MLS weekend: Newly built defenses need time together
Mar 4, 2013, 10:47 AM EST
Nothing gets most fans in a frothy lather like new stars. Or even the established stars, the "difference makers," as I like to tag them.
But the hard business of wins and losses frequently comes down to more mundane matters. Front and center in these matters of the mundane, these boots-on-the-ground essentials that just aren't as exciting to talk about over burgers and shakes: cohesiveness along the back line.
One of the big lessons from Major League Soccer's opening weekend was just that: even when defenses are stacked with talented types, the back lines that has not played together is a problem waiting to happen.
In Portland, Mikael Silvestre (pictured) brought all those years at Manchester United and elsewhere in Europe. Ryan Miller, so determined to get forward in the new Caleb Porter way, looks like a find along the right side. Michael Harrington along the left has long been one of the league's stronger one-on-one defenders (although his passing choices were always a sticky wicket.)
(MORE: analysis of Portland and New York from Richard Farley)
Still, the Jeld-Wen defense forces were dragged under by the same old bugaboos and boo-boos that helped take down the former coaching regime. A big reason was communication between four guys along the back and a goalkeeper who have never played together.
Same with New York, where Jamison Olave was large and in charge on a newly assembled back line – and yet there were mistakes here and there. Again, that was the first time together for this foursome.
Jeff Parke and Amobi Okugo as a central pairing in Philly? Both are quality players individually, but as a first-time center back pairing? Well, they'll get better than what we saw in giving up three at home to Sporting KC.
Chivas is probably an outlier here because everything around the Goats new way is spanking new. So allowing three at home (to Columbus) was certainly a partial product of a new back line, but it would be a big over-simplification to pin all the blame there.
Meanwhile, a team like FC Dallas survived despite playing anywhere near conference contender form. A big reason: the back four starters were the very same as in the second half of 2012. Matt Hedges and George John were ball-clearing beasts as Dallas overcame a game Colorado effort in a 1-0 win.

Beet Root 0 0
Approval Ratings
[BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS] Hi, I was wondering if anyone else experienced severe stomach pain (followed by diarrhea and vomiting), sore throat and fatigue after drinking fresh beetroot juice? I've always loved beetroot, but only had it cooked or pickled before. Now I used some fresh organic beetroot twice in my juice of celery and carrots, and in both cases I got this bad reaction (nevertheless, I got immediate relief from my neuralgia pain). I've never heard of allergic reaction to beetroot, so am wondering what went wrong. I should say I take "B" vitamins, magnesium and Omega3 supplements 2-3 times a day plus collagen in the evening... maybe the beetroot doesn't go well with all the vitamins? Maybe I used too much of it for my body to take (I used one middle-sized beetroot)? Thank you for your replies.

05/30/2012Hi Oldriska. I agree - start with less and build up. Also google mini beet protocol and that suggests eating an apple after to stop nausea, vomiting etc. I have been juicing beets for 6 weeks and initially felt quite sick if I didn't eat an apple afterwards but now can go without and juice a cup of beetroot and some carrots. I haven't followed exactly the Mbp as asparagus and fennel are too expensive. Interesting as the taste of the beets have changed over the time and are now quite sweet and nice tasting. Build up slowly. All the best.Posted by Timh

1048 Posts... The liver being the body's cleaning camp can get overwhelmed w/ waste so the beet purges the waste out and causes sickness as it reenters the bloodstream by way of the gut (theoretically). Prior to cleanse take a spoonful of bentonite clay or a couple caps charcoal. I would follow w/ either some garlic or oregano in case of infections.

[BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS] I have had GERD around 3 years and I have taken several of PPIs. While the PPIs worked a while, but after stopping PPIs GERD came back again. Therefore, I tried to take Betaine HCL to cure my GERD. I am on Betaine HCL around 2 weeks and I take 2-3 pills of it on every meal. It seems it works on my stomach and digestion. However, I have headache, dried lips and insomnia. I guess these come with Betaine HCL. I have read many articles that there is no significant side effects of Betaine HCL. Anybody has the same problem as mine? Any suggestions?Posted by Mike

12/15/2012Based on my experience, taking large amount of HCL Betaine with Yoghourt actually makes me fall asleep!!!
The activity of the pathogens in your body are mostly active at night when your immune system is at its lowest peak. This would explain why some people with digestive disorder have insomnia as was my case in the past.
Taking HCL Betaine will kill most of the pathogens in your system and thus leaving your stomach in a state of calmness.Posted by Louwrence

A week in and all was well until every day after 1 PM, I would get the feeling of acid dumping in my stomach... The good news is that before taking this, this would be the feeling I had after consuming ANYTHING. I just stopped the Betaine, today and the only reaction I had was following some gluten free, lentil crackers.... I have found my common denominator to be anything labeled, "vegetable oil, " and I also know I cannot tolerate crisco. Can anyone speak to this? Still experiencing gas and bloating on occasion...

[SIDE EFFECTS] I have hypothyroidism and have had low iron for the past year despite being on iron pills for 8 months now. I tried a gluten free diet for a while to see if that was the reason I wasn't absorbing the iron but without success. After reading that people with thyroid problems have low stomach acid, I decided to try HCL supplements to see if this would help. I took my first one last night with a meal and had (still having) bad gas. I didn't see this listed as a side effect anywhere. I am also having a pain in my back on top of my rib cage but it doesn't feel like gas at all. I've had no burning or heartburn though. I don't want to stop taking these unless I really have to because this is the only other thing that might help my iron levels go up. Would I be able to take ACV with my pills instead? I'm not sure if that is as effective. Thanks in advance!Posted by Mmsg

I know of someone who has an 11 yr old girl who lives with them and she requires this child to ingest 3 to 4 heaping teaspoons of ground black pepper each day, I am thinking that this cannot be healthy, but the individual says it is a home remedy for a constant cough ( child sounds like they have croup ) Any posts or ideas of what actions if any I should take toward the child in questions health.

159 PostsHi Katie, There is a remedy using black pepper for dry coughs, I don't know anyone who has used it though. BUT it is not in that amount, it is "chew 2-3 black peppercorns" and I would think that it was for an adult. I did a search and found it as one of many things for dry cough on the following site: http://www.home-remedies-guide.com/cough.htm
Plus even if you did the above you would think that it would be for a few days only. I would also think that it would surely cause more coughing for the child to be getting that amount. I believe no child should be made to take 3-4 teaspoons of pepper it also gives home remedies a bad name and yes it does make you wonder if there is more abuse going on. Have you asked where they got their info from, for this so called remedy, because they may be misinformed, but surely common sense should prevail. If they are doing it out of genuine ignorance then they would be open to other suggestions and to hearing that that is an excessive amout of pepper. All the best.

Hi everyone,
I'm hoping someone can help me figure out why I have started reacting to the blackstrap molasses. I read about it last year and started to take it in a glass of warm water with ACV and manuka honey, it was great for about 3-4 months, I felt fantastic I pulled out about 20 grey hairs that had colour at the root... Life was wonderful ;-)
Then I started to react to it, my knuckles on the left index finger first get inflamed then the right, then the next finger and so on till all the joints on my fingers are inflamed and burning then they become so bad they crack open and weep... I stopped taking it and they got better... I tried it again last week and within 2 days I has the allergy started on the left finger.
I don't eat vegemite either anymore as I have the same above reaction.. I tried it again 1 month ago just a tiny it on my bread... The next day I woke up itching my finger which had become inflamed..
I'm allergic to GLUTEN and LACTOSE and I haven't ingested anything containing these for 12 yrs now ( I got diagnosed at 22)... My symptoms for these started when I was 18, 3 years after I had my tonsils removed, previously I had lived on penicilon and antibiotics ( I feel like the poison in my body from the food I ate came out through my tonsils and then after they were removed they came out in other ways). the symptoms were the same on the fingers, but I also suffered from hives and boils on the face and neck, asthma, eczema on my eyelids..
Has anyone got any thoughts why I'm reacting to BSM now?
I would really love to be able to take it again..Posted by Dud

12/12/2011Thanks for your replies guys..
The one I've got is the melrose blue label organic one.. How do I find out about my copper levels? ask for a blood test?
I'm taking a few supplements now and I just checked the only one with copper is a calcium/vit D one which has 1mg.. but I started this one a few months after I had the first signs..
Um...we have since moved house from the first signs.. But it also did it at this new house.. No copper pots.. No red meat... Mostly chicken and seafood..
I'm thinking im more likely to be copper deficient? I seem to be getting lots of new grey hairs recently..My iron levels are really low too..
It's so bizarre... I want to take it again for the high iron and copper... My hair is falling out and going grey.. Mind you I have just had a baby so it's shedding normally from that... I wasn't pregnant at the time of taking it.. it was a few months before and after.Posted by Jen

67 PostsHi Billie, It is possible that you are having symptoms of copper toxicity or less likely copper deficiency. If you are taking copper supplements or eating a lot of foods that contain copper (meats, nuts, seeds, eggs, poultry, and grains) then when you take the blackstrap molasses which contains about 26% of your daily intake of copper per two tablespoons then you may be getting too much. Some plumbing also may contain copper pipes which makes your water contain copper as well. If you cook with copper pans that will affect your copper intake too. If you go to this website it explains things a little clearer.
Taken from the website:
1. Bones and connective tissue. Copper is required to fix calcium in the bones and to build and repair all connective tissue. This includes the tendons, ligaments, skin, hair, nails, arteries, veins and a few other tissues.
Imbalances can contribute to osteoporosis, bone spurs, and almost all conditions of the skin, hair and nails. Others symptoms related to connective tissue include most cardiovascular problems, tendon and ligament conditions, scoliosis, and other skeletal and structural imbalances as well.
-Imbalances can refer to copper deficiency or toxicity. You can look at the nutrients in Black Strap molassas and if you are taking additional supplements that contain the same nutrients then that is probably where your problem stems from. More is not always better especially when talking about vitamins and minerals.
Here is a site that has the nutrients in BSM.

12/13/2011It sounds like you may need magnesium supplemented. The molasses has twice as much calcium as magnesium (you need it to be the other way around). If you are calcium deficient, the body will pull calcium from your bones (which is what causes arthritis). Maybe that is the pain you are experiencing. If you supplement with extra magnesium I am sure you will find the pain goes away.

12/13/2011Jen from Bozeman, Mt (or anyone else)... "blackstrap molasses which contains about 26% of your daily intake of copper per two tablespoons"... What brand(s) of blackstrap molasses has copper in it? I only found one with copper listed as an ingredient on the earthclinic list (8%)... Not available locally for me. Thanks in advance.Posted by Jen
Bozeman, Mt, Us
67 PostsHi Billie, You can get your copper and other minerals tested best with a hair analysis. There are many websites you can go to that have great labs who will send you a kit, test it, and send you the results. It would be really good to get for you.
I don't think copper deficiency would be causing the problems though you may very well be deficient but as the problem arose when you took the BSM then I think it has to be an overload of some kind. It could be iron too as iron affects the skin and joints at toxic levels. Some people have a rare metabolic disease that causes iron toxicity with minimal amounts of iron. A hair analysis will give you your iron levels too. Good luck. Black strap molassas is so good for you that I can understand why you are concerned about not being able to take it. I hope you find your answers.Posted by Debbie

12/14/2011I do not agree this is copper toxicity. Gray hair is a sign of copper deficiency. It sounds like a Google Joel Wallach who wrote the book "Rare Earths". He is also on youtube. He started out as a Vet and got into medicine because he realised animals got treated with minerals when sick and not humans. All we get offered is tablets. His book is very informative. Many people these days are copper deficient and that is why we are going gray earlier and earlier.
An imbalance of calcium/magnesium will cause osteoporosis and arthritis/bone spurs. As a new mum the baby has probably taken a lot of calcium out of your body and that could be why you are having pain in your fingers. You need to take twice as much magnesium as calcium. Most foods have fortified calcium but no magnesium.
I had luck by drinking wheatgrass juice and my hair did start to return to go back to its natural colour. Also chlorella and spirulina are great to take. They are super foods and have the right nutrients in the proper ratios.Posted by Jen

67 PostsUnfortunately most minerals are not listed as ingredients on any labels. Copper is in all organic black strap molasses. You will find that the only minerals that usually appear on food labels of any kind are iron, potassium(sometimes), sodium, and calcium. Copper isn't required to be listed. Sometimes you can google the brand you have and find copper listed as a nutrient, not an ingredient.Posted by Faith

12/27/2011Copper and ZINC have to be supplemented together... One pushes the other OUT of the body. Zinc is needed for stomach health, etc. , so if you were using a lot of copper, you could have developed a ZINC deficiency. COPPER is also HARD on the adrenals, and the adrenals are responsible for your immune system. This happened to me because I was already ZINC deficient when I started the BSM. In addition, BSM is high in potassium, and that can push more sodium out of the body, causing a sodium imbalance. The ADRENALS need lots of NATURAL sodium, you can get this from KELP.Posted by Henry

03/01/2012I am severely copper toxic, and I have grey hair. In fact, I started getting gray hair around the time that my copper symptoms became a problem. At that time, my hair test from DDI showed high copper (red), 200 , which is extremely high.
A few years later, I did another hair test and it was normal but I was even worse off. The copper had accumulated in the organs and zinc had cleared free copper. This reduced the uptake by hair follicles.
I am still struggling with getting copper out after 10 years but am finally getting better.
There are over 300 known mutations of the ATP7B gene that cause people to accumulate copper in their organs. Most of these were found recently because genomic sequencing is becoming cheaper and there's obviously more to be found. It's not as "rare" as doctors think.Posted by Rotem (Hadera, Israel) on 12/15/2009

[SIDE EFFECTS] Hi there, well I'm on my 5th day of taking borax (one wet fingertip's worth in warm ACV and honey) as I'm desperately trying to get rid of the rheumatoid arthritis in my feet (I'm 43). Yesterday I noticed one eye was bloodshot, and today the other one is red and my face feels hot, like it's got sunburn. Any ideas? I'll give it one more day and if it gets any worse I'll stop taking it. It's made no difference to the arthritis or anything else btw.Posted by Jennywren

Perth, Western Australia, Australia
31 PostsUpdate 2 - I thought I should add this because it seems it may not be the Borax producing these side effects after all but my ______ ACV. After having loss of appetite, nausea, burping, fatigue and diarrhoea a few days ago (an 80ml dose of colloidal silver in water fixed it), I went off the Borax and ACV drink for a day and all was well. BUT last night I had an ACV/honey hot toddy before bed (without the Borax). And this morning woke up with the same symptoms! Another dose of CS cured it. So I think the ACV may be too acidic for me. Yes, yes, I know despite it being made from acetic acid and having a ph of only 3. 075 ACV it is meant to have an alkalising effect. But as somebody who has a very acidic body, I think I'll stick with drinking my alkalising colloidal silver for now. ACV has never worked for me when drinking for asthma, hayfever, bronchitis, colds or rheumatoid arthritis - perhaps this is why? Mind you, it worked great topically for skin tags and herpes! :)
Anyway, thought I should update this is it doesn't look like the Borax is the culprit after all. If I have the courage to return to the Borax I'll update...!Posted by Jennywren

The other thing to try is to add the bi-carb soda as recommended by Ted. We tried the ACV that is double strength, because my father-in-law thinks its the bees knees, (plus it's readily available so we didn't have to drive through 2 towns to get to the one that has the organic ACV) but I found it was no good for me.Posted by Maria

[BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS] Hi,
I have a weird side effect of trying Borax for my arthritis. First, I seem to have kidney pain when taking doses of 1/8 tsp and higher. This is nothing new, certain things do give my kidneys problems since I had a E-coli infection in my blood 12 years ago. So I've been taking a little spoon, and just dipping the wet tip of it in and swishing it in my water. Kidney problem solved. Here is the weird side effect... I get this strange headache that is located at the tip of my head... Not really a headache, just a strange pressure or ache at the very center tip of my head. I've had this pain before, years ago, when I was really stressed and it used to be pretty bad that it would affect my thinking. But that went away years ago, and now it seems the borax brings it on again ever so slightly. Anybody have any ideas what this means?Posted by Lily

I've been using the borax face solution and the 1/8 teaspoon and have noticed some positive results! However tonight I though I would get into a bath of borax (about 1 1/2 cups) tea tree oil / small amount of hydrogen peroxide all was good when I got out however a hours or two later sitting at my computer got a few rashes on my body, went to bed and it was all over my chest and back! Not sure if its the mites saying goodbye or a rash from the borax itself?
Note: My original problem was itchy bumps on my face (possibly acne rosacea) which has died down quite a bit, during the rash episode my face was completely clear? (i did dunk my face into bath water).
Any help appreciated.Posted by Imb (Vista, Ca) on 08/29/2011
[BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS] I have been taking the borax from the grocery store for three day. I have been feeling more energize but I also am experiencing kidney pain. Is it detox symptom? And should I take something else with it to ease the pain?Posted by Dave (Usa, Pa/usa) on 04/13/2011
[SIDE EFFECTS] Ted,
I would like your opinion on my reaction to borax I have taken borax as written about on your posts and have had a strong reaction on it. I was taking it for 4 days and felt a headache that moves from place to place with a bad taste in my mouth. Leading up to this dose I was sprinkling borax over coffee grounds of my coffee maker. I stopped taking it and started now for 2 days taking Idoral Potassium Iodine and the first day took two and had a stronger reaction and even felt vains of pressure on my face around my head (like a poison) sleeping all day and drinking plenty of water throughout this.
I feel much better now without stopping the Idoral suppliment. I only feel a pressure in my kidneys. Also I had strong feelings run through my body when I heard different sounds and is still there but minor now. I have had this reaction to sound for a number of months and is one of the reasons I am looking into causes. I suspect a fluoride/bromine build up but no tests have be taken and would like to figure this out on my own as much as possible. I have always thought I was much smarter than I am throughout my life. My memory isnt that great and have sensed a fog with me in some degree through childhood onward. I had odd stage fright as a child and onward but am a very confident person. I suspect that myself and family have been exposed to toxin in some form. My mother died of breast cancer when I was young, my sister has dystonia, and my dad has very bad brain fog and generally lost. I'm glad that I'm feeling better and plan on taking Iodine for some time for a long term detox if that is indeed what is happening. Also through my adult life I have had body parts fall asleep very easily during sleep and a certain sensation on the top of my legs. I can tune it out but I have had it for a very long time. Any thoughts you might have would be helpful. I see the world alot like you do.

I used store brand Borax, 1/8 tsp in one liter of distilled water. The first day I experienced a nasty headache all day long and at the second day, my kidney started hurting. So I had to stop taking Borax and I'll never try it again. The pain persisted 5 day after I stopped taking it. It was really scary! I read Ted's comment stating that he uses the store brand Borax when he can't find pure grade Borax. I have read most of user comment and Ted's email before I decided to try Borax remedy. I would like to post my experience about using store brand Borax so that people can least expects what can happen.Posted by Carrie (Longmont, Colorado) on 01/07/2008
[SIDE EFFECTS] Thank you Ted and Earthclinic for such wonderful information! I have a question for Ted: I started the Borax cure 8 days ago to treat fluoride poisoning and candida. I've been taking 1/8 tsp. Borax in 1 liter of purified water every other day. On day 4 I started manifesting flulike symptoms--extreme chest congestion (very, very thick mucous) and cough, extreme fatigue, all over body aches, mild fever. Today I'm still sick but I am slowly getting better. Would you classify this as a normal detox reaction or did I probably get a virus on top of detoxing?

[SIDE EFFECTS] I have been taking one cayenne pepper pill a day with warm lemonade in the mornings for the last 2 weeks or so. I experience slight heartburn like feeling but it was not a big problem. Two days ago, I took two pills instead of one, and it was no more than 3 minutes after I swallowed the pills, I had the extreme cramping in my stomach, became very dizzy, my left arm was hurting and I felt tingling on my fingers and legs... Not only the pain was extremely bad, my head was spinning, I was having hard time walking in my kitchen. I was hot, I just wanted to stop the cramping and managed to throw up. Took two Tums... With the hyper ventilation and dizziness, I laid in the bath tub and turned the cold water on, (I was so out of it and unable to control my reflexes, I couldn't even take my clothes off) it took about another 10-15 minutes before the pain went away, and I actually managed to get up and walk around... I called my doctor friend and she asked me if I experienced chest pain, I said no. Other than that I had all the symptoms of a heart attack. Went to see a doctor, and after the EKG, I was told that I had a bad reaction to cayenne pepper. It was not a joking matter for me, as I was home alone with my 3 year old sleeping in her bed, I had to have a reality check. How healthy is it to be trying to be healthy???Posted by Perry

If they did it just for kicks, we'd agree these plungers were a little crazy for wearing next to nothing and jumping into icy Lake Michigan during March's freezing temps. But they're taking a dip to raise money for the Special Olympics Chicago, too.

R&B singer Chris Brown's publicized woes are only intensifying as reports claim he has been hit with charges related to a car accident last month in California.
Details of the high-profile star's issues have started to circulate online.
The Los Angeles city attorney's office has charged singer Chris Brown with misdemeanor hit-and-run and driving without a valid license. City attorney spokesman Frank Mateljan says the charges filed Tuesday involve a minor accident on May 21 in the San Fernando Valley. If convicted, Brown would face up to one year in jail. (WKYC News)
An arraignment for this case is slated to go down around mid-July.
While the misdemeanor charges — which carry a maximum of a year in jail — would not ordinarily threaten a defendant's freedom, Brown's felony probation could be revoked if a judge decides the new arrest is a violation. A spokesman for the Los Angeles County district attorney said prosecutors will review the charge once they are officially notified by the city attorney. An arraignment for the new charges has been set for the morning of July 15 at the Van Nuys courthouse. Brown is also scheduled to be in a downtown Los Angeles courtroom that afternoon for another hearing to set a date for his trial in his probation violation case. (CNN)
Breezy has already hopped onto his Twitter page to clear up the reports.
"It's not a hit and run if u get out the car, exchange information (who has NO DAMAGE to either cars).This is really ridiculous," he tweeted June 25.
"I have a valid drivers license and I gave the woman the right info. She saw cameras and wanted to make a scene."
"She contacted the cops thinking of a payday from Chris Brown when I followed the proper procedures."
"My lawyers will be contacting you. I will not stand for this bullying and yellow journalism!"
"My profile pic is the pic I took of the persons car after "the hit and run". NO damage. Just a dirty car.once again, I gotta clear my name"
"I work my ass off to provide for my entire family. I've made mistakes in the past and have worked hard to be a better person."
"19-24 years of age. I don't have all the answers and you can't show me a person that age who has it figured out.We live and grow.Let me live" (Chris Brown's Twitter)
The charges come days after a woman accused Brown of assaulting her in a California nightclub last weekend.
The owner of Heat Ultra Lounge in Anaheim tells us, "Based on the information which we have gathered from our security company, mall security, and other party goers which were at HEAT on Saturday night; It is apparent that the alleged incident regarding Chris Brown is false." The owner says 24-year-old Deanna Gines had repeatedly tried to jump on stage during Chris' performance at the club — and later tried to rush Chris in his roped-off VIP area. (TMZ)

Vianne Rochet, known for near-magical skills with chocolate, returns after an eight-year absence in response to a letter she receives from a deceased friend.

Peaches for Monsieur le Curé (or Peaches for Father Francis) by Joanne Harris has been honored as the 2014-2015 selection for the Suburban Mosaic program, which seeks to foster cultural understanding through literature. Ultimately, it is a wonderful story that blends enchantment and real-life conflict in a way that will touch our hearts and remind us what we all have in common.

Former Salem teacher to face new theft charges
Stephen Pierce, 47, is facing a receiving stolen property charge for allegedly pawning roughly 40 pieces of jewelry worth about $33,000 from an Atkinson couple he was friends with, according to an indictment.
The thefts happened over the course of a year between March 2011 and last April, prosecutors said. Public defender Christine List did not say in court papers what kind of new charges Pierce will be facing, but police have acknowledged they have spent months scrutinizing records of area pawn shops.
Pierce, who taught eighth-grade at the Woodbury School in Salem, faces up to 7½ to 15 years in prison on his latest theft case. List said in court papers that she hopes to negotiate a global resolution to the case to include any new charges handed down by the grand jury.
Judge Marguerite Wageling agreed to delay the hearing so prosecutors and the defense can try to work out a new agreement.
Pierce's teaching career suddenly came to a halt in May, a month after a Nikon D60 camera disappeared from a school yearbook program. Pierce had stolen the camera and sold it to a local pawn shop. Salem police linked Pierce to the theft by reviewing pawnshop slips at the store. Pierce had to submit his driver's license to the pawnshop in order to sell the camera, and got $150 for it.
He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor theft charge in circuit court and received a suspended seven-day jail sentence. More charges came after the Atkinson couple - who were friends of Pierce - saw that he pleaded guilty in the theft case and noticed some of their personal belongings around the house were missing, police said.
Pierce's new plea and sentencing date is April 23.

Balancing act: First 'real' job teaches lessons, offers a few surprises
ShotShare, Getty Images/iStockphoto
Every job we hold during our long years in the workforce teaches us something.
Often the lesson is as simple as, "I definitely don't want to do this for the rest of my life." But other times — hopefully most of the time — the lessons are more positive.
My 16-year-old daughter is about a month into her first "real" job, and so far, it has been a great experience for her. Not only has she learned new things, she's also earned some money and built a little more independence.
In other words, she's meeting the goals she talked about in a column I wrote before she began working at a sandwich shop near where we live.
However, she's also found that her "real" job has held a few surprises.
For example, she said she expected every worker at the shop to focus on just one job, but they actually pitch in wherever they are needed. She was glad to be a part of that kind of collaboration.
She also was surprised at how quickly she built camaraderie with her co-workers, and the pace of the work is a bit faster than she expected.
"It's busier than I thought it would be," she said. "I figured it would be (busy) around lunchtime, but it's even more than I thought."
As a result of that pace, she has been more tired than she expected to be after a five- to six-hour shift.
"I didn't really think about it beforehand, that I might be more tired," she said. "I don't feel like I should be as tired as I am, since it's not actually a full-time job, especially because a lot of it is just me standing behind a register, talking. ...
"It's taught me that you need to get a good night's sleep. And that it is really hard work. I don't think you realize how hard it is to have a full-time job until you start having a job."
That revelation was exciting to me because I figure it will translate into a little more appreciation for dear old dad. It also makes me feel like I'm not crazy for being exhausted at the end of a day spent sitting in front of a computer. It's surprising how tiring that activity can be.
My daughter said she was pleased that she has quickly learned different tasks but also mentioned that they are not all easy for her. For example, she has worked as the shop's cashier for many of her recent shifts, and she said that has been difficult at times.
"Probably the hardest thing is when someone orders something or wants something on their sandwich and I don't know where the button for that is," she said. "Then I have to take out a pen and write it down. And sometimes I miss it, so (the people making the sandwiches) have to add it on after."
It's also difficult to take orders when people speak softly, she said, and that usually leads to her repeating orders back several times.
"Probably cashier has been the most difficult thing I've done so far because it's not just putting something together, it's finding out exactly what needs to be done," she said. "And you're interacting with people, rather than just their food."
I was in the shop while she was working cashier one day last week and I was quite impressed by her efficiency and skill in taking people's orders. She was pleasant and friendly, even though it was a busy time. I'm guessing that's why her managers have asked her to fill that role lately.
And speaking of those managers, she said she has been impressed by how much they know and how well they can do everything associated with the business. Watching them has helped her to better understand how to interact effectively with people in a work setting as opposed to at home or at school.

TnT i have no clue how you do such good landscapes. Do you just paint them or do you have some sort of line-art,sketch thingy there?
Naw. I start off with a really quick value-scribble using black and white or another base color based on the color of the thing I'm drawing.
The one in the center is my favorite. The lighting is really nice and eye-catching. The addition of the blue vehicles was a great touch, too.
haha, those are supposed to be some kinda minerals or ore, but thanks. I guess I need to sharpen up my small details.
Epic mechs are epic! Nice details as always, from a distance, there is a really nice 3D look to it xD
Yeah, it looks like a render from a distance, which is mad skill. I like the track detailing at the bottom of the foot.
I see it. Thanks for pointing that out, Rio.
Experimental style.
Her boobs doesn't have enough depth. It looks so flat. Maybe more medium shadows will pop it out more. Also, the bar behind her neck and her hands - it's off. The perspective of her arms doesn't make it seem like they're going back plus the handle behind her neck - it just doesn't seem like it's behind her neck. Nice experiment, otherwise. :thumbs up:
I was mulling over the chest problem and I figured out why it bothered me. When a girl starts to bend down, the shape of the breast changes due to gravity. Unless she's got great push-up bra's, her chest looks like she's still standing up straight.
I see, I see.
That sketch was mostly done for style experimentation, so I guess I overlooked a lot of things. Thanks for the help.
Attempting a creature concept for this thread:
Supposed to be a Jade Hunter. Didn't want to make it look like an Akrid or a Tyranid, though.
EDIT:+++ Trying something completely new--
Need a color scheme, though.
