text: Redbox Challenges Netflix in New Streaming War Print article Send a Tip by Christian Toto 12 Dec 2012 post a comment Who hasn't watched a formerly bustling Blockbuster store shutter somewhere in their neighborhood? The movie rental chain has suffered significantly in recent years, all the while Redbox's less complicated version of the same transaction has proved a viable economic model. It's why today's news that Redbox is moving into the streaming arena is significant. The service, dubbed Redbox Instant, will debut in beta format this month. It will be open to the public in 2013 and include access to up to four DVDs rentals a month from the company's kiosks. Customers who want Blu-rays will have to pay $1 extra. The $8 figure is not an arbitrary one; it's almost the exact price that Netflix charges for its lowest membership package. The folks at Redbox must realize there's room for more than one streaming giant. Amazon.com's Prime service also delivers streaming options, but so far Netflix is the undisputed field leader. Netflix will remain the streaming king - for now. Amazon Prime lacks the number of titles Netflix offers, and its arcane category system is no match for Netflix's superior model. And the initial number of titles to be available to Redbox Instant customers is far less than Netflix's catalogue. The move still allows Redbox patrons to ease into streaming without cutting the cord on their disk needs and will likely force both Netflix and Amazon Prime to improve their existing services.

From time to time, life will throw us a curveball or two.
Fans of soul, neosoul and organic hip-hop, are probably pretty thrilled that Zo! of Foreign Exchange Music wasn't as good at hitting curveballs as he is at producing and creating timeless melodies and arrangements for the many artists who he's featured on his three released projects. Now that's not to say that Zo!, born Lorenzo Ferguson, was a slouch at hitting.

Repping Flint, Michigan, Jon Connor seemingly appeared out of nowhere, building a name for himself from his Vinnie Chase mixtape series. Setting beats on fire with a crisp, super-lyrical delivery comparable to the likes of Royce Da 5'9, Canibus, or Big Pun, Connor instantly gained a fan following via the rap blogosphere. With Salvation, he attempts to move beyond the mixtape scene with his first official digital album release, now available on Itunes.
The main difference with Salvation and Connor's early works is that he is less concerned with freestyle rhymes, and more focused on substance. Obviously not wanting to be pigeonholed as a "battle rapper", this works for and against him. Fans that followed him due to his show-stealing verses up until this point may be disappointed to find that Connor is more or less saving that style for his mixtape releases.
Each song here is topical, as Connor laments the everyday struggle on tracks like "Salvation" and "We All In", both of which find him meshing poignant rhymes with unwavering, abrasive delivery. It's clear Jon has been through his share of drama with some scandalous females, as he warns on both "Don't Fall In Love With A Bitch", "Nice 2 Meet U", and "Mind Games" for fellas to steer clear. Other tracks like "Minutes and Seconds" find the emcee looking at things introspectively. Taking things off the serious tip, as a bonus track he covers Flint, MI hero MC Breed's "Ain't No Future In Your Frontin".
While Connor's decision to stick to more relevant topics than besting his competition may have been a preemptive measure to silence critics, we can't help but yearn for a couple of show-off songs to help round the album out. Another downfall of the LP is the production, which at times sounds a bit dated. It's still grounded in quality, however eventually Connor will have to step up the production, in order for it to match his lyrical prowess.
All in all, Salvation is a solid, yet somewhat flawed, debut effort for Jon Connor. He's a hungry artist that shows true potential, as proven with his mixtape track record, along with this LP. It's only a matter of time before the major labels and rap magazine talent scouts endorse Connor, and push him into the limelight.
This review is pretty spot on. I was very much looking forward to it, but was left a little wanting. And it's almost all due to the production.
Someone save this man.
Yeah, he definitely needs some help on the production side… too many weak beats

I've been using these great gloves for several years now. I haven't found anything better for exfoliating, especially before sunless tanner products. My husband finds them a little too rough. I think they are perfect. Take off your rings before jumping in the shower to use them forever. They can snag.

Best Bday present ever made to me in 27 years ! Seriously ! I would not imagine not having these to take a shower. I have a pair and i use them everyday - they are soft and super handy.
Bought two for 9 dollars, and if I could categorize 100 of the best dollars i've ever spent in life, i'd have to say 4.50 dollars was spent exceptionally well on one glove. Love that i have two though! Never knew what i was missing, and this are as gentle as you make them. Make any scrub go on neatly and quickly. Very convenient thing to have, will always have around, although I will probably buy a darker color next time. White shows everything my body sheds, which is all right, but ignorance is bliss haha. Black or red should do it, red will add a nice pop of color to my shower.
Love these!
Great for washing off a muggy Mumbai summer day. The fabric is not too abrasive and retains soap and foam long enough for a whole bath.
I've been a single glove almost everyday for the last 20 days, and it's given me smoother knees, elbows and cellulite-free thighs. Highly recommended!
I LOVE THESE! They make it sooo easy to apply a product like scrub everywhere and hold the product nicely so you don't lose it. I really enjoy scrubbing myself with these, I 'feel' my body better and feel like I have more freedom in the shower... okay can't explain it, but I just really fell in love with these. They also fitted my very small hands and they don't seem to lose their shape. And they were sooo cheap!
Doesn't happen often that I'm really this happy with a product!
i actually got this for $5 can, which is better than most can say. it does exfoliate well, but not so much that it leaves your skin scratchy and dry. my skin does sting a bit after using this, but immediately after makes my skin soft. i didnt notice a huge difference after using those, but its pretty fun! just slip on the gloves and scrub! how cool is that? ;)
Thanks for the reviews on MUA, I got these gloves. These gloves are extremely exfoliating; it feels like a message when I'm in shower. After the shower, my skin is so soft and smooth. Even my boyfriend likes these :-). The best part - they were only $5.
These are hands down the best bath gloves out there. They fit well, retain their shape and do a great job at exfoliating. Plus, you can just throw them in the wash! I buy them for my husband who has xlarge size hands, and they fit him too! TBS is the only place I will buy these!
grrrrreeeeaaaat! i never think a pair of gloves could help my skin problems, my dry flaky on face disappear without pain! great great stuff! now i can go wherever with this gloves and having scrub whenever i want and let my shower brush at home hehe!
These gloves are miracle workers. After years of boasting that I make my own scrubs using salt or sugar and Evoo or milk powder and honey etc, these scrubs have never done for me what these gloves have in just one week. No more ants in the shower, no more greasy oil slick left on the floor from scrubs which if we're all being honest - don't smell the best anyway. Now you just wash as per normal the start at the bottom and work your way up! Throw them in the wash to clean and voila, you're ready to go again! I am using them every two days or so and once a week very gently on my face and they are perfect. The lumps on my arms are 80% gone and ingrown hairs are all out.
EDIT...I've had to give these to my sister in law as they were too harsh for my sensitive skin. When I hopped out of the shower my skin was so itchy in places, it was not a good time!
Fabulous product for only $12 NZ and they will last for ages!

Wiedmer: UTC should have told the truth
Well done Mr. Wiedmer. Very thought provoking. As long as I've followed college sports, coaches have always announced suspensions, despite possible consequences. The suspensions and the accompanying statements show that the team is taking a stand to do the right thing.

Had a great time! Greeted upon arrival with a glass of champagne, and received refills throughout if desired. The yacht was clean and set up beautifully. The food was delicious and there was an abundance of choices. We arrived very early (11am) for a 1pm departure due to the July 4th holiday and festivities. We found FREE street parking just a short distance from the venue. Would definitely repeat this one next year!

You'll love this delicious chocolate chip cake from Toll House. It can be made as a layer cake or a Bundt cake. Both are great! I found it in an old Better Homes and Gardens recipe booklet from the late 70's. It is different from all the other recipes I've found. It's a yellow cake with chocolate chips and creamy, delicious, chocolate buttercream icing! Be sure to use the mini-morsels because the regular ones will sink down to the bottom. If you just need a rich, chocolatey buttercream frosting, I have also posted the frosting separately. It is Rich and Creamy Chocolate Frosting from Toll House.

The Secret:
What Your High Schools Don't Tell you?
Elizabeth Wissner-Gross
Forget what other parents may tell you about the value of just "letting kids be kids". Fun, play, relaxation are important for kids and adults alike, but most would agree that being engaged in an educational activity that they are passionate about is fun and also has long-term benefits to get into college and ultimately enhancing one's career.
Competition for admission to America's top colleges is more cutthroat than ever. Gone are the days when parents could afford to let high school guidance counselors handle the admissions process alone-gone, also, are the days when a student could wait until senior year to prepare for it. If you want to raise a kid colleges will compete for, you must act, EARLY and AGGRESSIVELY, as opportunity scout
coach, tutor, manager, and publicist -or be willing to watch that acceptance letter go to someone whose parents did
Have your children attend our classes...
We help you act early and aggressively
We help you identify your child's passions
We help your kids reach his or her potential -- both academically and in terms of character

If You Could Create Any Restaurant....
- l
- Laurenjo28 Dec 3, 2011 01:17 PM
What food would it be solely dedicated to? Like subway has sandwiches...what would yours be? I thought about it this morning and I would open a restaurant focused on creating different versions of a cinnamon roll. Yes, Cinnabon, Cindy's Cinnamon Rolls, etc. are open, but they don't offer orange rolls, or white chocolate toffee rolls!!! That might be a good thing for my waistline, though :) Anyway, what would you create??
Sweet, savory, rolled, steel cut, traditional porridge style, set cut and sauteed crispy polenta style, standalone, crusting proteins, cookies, shakes, dessert bars...
its pretty much the perfect food.
heck, if your cinnamon roll shop was successful, we could pair up and design an oatmeal to replicate it.
I have this idea that I would like to open a cafeteria/prepared foods take-out in an area where a large real estate building has been abandoned, e.g., an anchor store in a strip mall on a highway or busy thoroughfare. The concept would be to run it like the old Morrison's Cafeterias that used to proliferate the South. The food wood be made of high quality ingredients and nothing like the cheap all-you-can-eat buffets that are prominent on today's landscape. The meal would consist of a main portion and sides for about 5 bucks. Additional sides would be priced at an additional .99-1.99. Soft beverages and desserts would be priced also at .99-1.99. There would be a mandatory service charge of one dollar imposed for each patron, which would be redistributed back to the staff. The idea would be to let the less fortunate come out and experience a meal out of the home and enjoy better restaurant fare at an inexpensive price. Those who could not afford to pay would not be turned away. In general, the food would be priced at cost and would not be run for profit. i would imagine I would serve a thousand people a day minimum, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Now here's the catch.....
* The business model would include participation from the state government
* The management would be food industry professionals giving back donating their time and expertise.
* The labor/staff would include Culinary students from the local schools, colleges or academies seeking experience in the food industry......paid internships
* The labor/staff would include people who have been receiving unemployment benefits for six months....where it would be required they accept a position for employment. If they decline, then they would automatically lose their benefits. If they accept, then any deficiencies in their pay would be supplement by their state through unemployment benefits.
* The labor/staff would also include people who are welfare recipients, as their participation would be required if they wish to continue receiving benefits(supplements explained above). My intention would be to teach them life skills to be productive in the workplace and get them off welfare. As an incentive to excel, I would provide them with the guarantee for promotion and advancement within the company or any assistance possible for future employment through networking within the food industry.
* The labor/staff would include anyone who wanted a job regardless of age and etc.
* The staff would include handicapped/special needs persons without prejudice.
* The labor/staff would also include non-violent ex-convicts who would agree to be put on a short leash and be strictly monitored for their performance and actions, the goal being to reintroduce them into society and become productive individuals.....the idea of giving them a second chance.
* All employees would sign a code of conduct clause, for both on and off the job, to ensure their proper respect to their fellow employees and the community where they reside.
In short, it would be a learning center to bring people together at the table.
re: fourunder
This sounds wonderful! It is similar concept to what we are working on at our CSA farm. I hope that you do it! Keep the faith
re: fourunder
Fourunder, Seattle has a program like this called FairStart. It trains homeless people to be able to work in the food and restaurant industry. The food served at lunch and dinner is excellent.
re: fourunder
Fourunder: Sacramento has such a place for homeless women. It trains them to work and gives them job skills so that they can move on and get work elsewhere! Great concept!
re: dimsumgirl
That's great to hear.....I have to wonder why every municipality doesn't start similar programs. It's really a no brainer. Thanks for posting.
re: fourunder
Hi Fourunder
I just checked and the restaurant is not just for homeless women; our local program is for homeless women who have children. It's a 6-12 month program designed to give the women the skills to become self-sufficient. And the program includes day care for the children while the women are working. Nice, comprehensive package!
re: dimsumgirl
Very nice....publicly funded or private donations?
re: fourunder
I think it's grant funded and public donations; profits from the food sales.
re: fourunder
I LOVE this idea!
Wow, I'm torn. My initial thought was pizza - because I love a tender Napolitana as much as the next guy - but I love a filling meal of meat and potatoes.
So either exquisite cuts of meat from a wide variety of animals - beef, bison, deer, pheasant, goose, etc. - or tender, true Italian-style pizza.
re: JReichert
combine them?
cereal bar - different granolas, different cereals, different yogurts, fruits, milks, cheeses for toppings -
When I was young I hated my mother's meatloaf (she put wet white bread in it) so I would always say I hated meatloaf & invariably someone would say "you would like MY meatloaf". Then one night I actually had a dream about opening a meatloaf restaurant that I would call "Meatloaves" & get everyone's different recipes & make them in little aluminum loaf pans & name it after the person whose recipe it is like "Jan's tangy" or "Mike's BBQ" & I would serve them with homestyle sides like green beans & mashed potatoes. I will never open this restaurant but if anyone wants to steal this idea, I would eat there.
re: PotatoHouse
I'd open the exact same restaurant shown in the God Father where the police chef gets 'offed'.
That style of restaurant must have served some wicked ravioli back them.
"The Gumbo Wagon." I would do my famous gumbo at a commercial kitchen, then put it in a "wagon" - probably a converted ice cream delivery van - and drive through neighborhoods before dinner time with the bell going. It would just be gumbo and rice. You can by small, medium or large portions.
My fantasy restaurant. A restaurant whose soul purpose is to satisfy cravings. Anything the customer wants the restaurant will make. And if the customer is unsure, the kitchen just surprises them with the perfect meal. Kind of like dining at Hogwarts or in Neverland.
In real life. A restaurant without a menu, but the theme of the meal would be known in advance. Only two seatings, served family style, at a couple long tables. The target customers would be couples, singles, and those new to an area or students. A dinner party of strangers.
I would run a french fry cart. We would offer one food and one food only: fresh-cut russet potatoes double-fried in shortening. No burgers and hot dogs, or gimmicky stuff like poutine, just fries with salt. Having just one item ensures maximum fry quality and process efficiency, not to mention profit margin. There would be a counter on the outside with all kinds of sauces, seasonings and vinegars for customers to add their own.
Probably pizza or ice cream. I like the idea of unlimited creativity and combinations. I even devised a menu of all the pizzas we would have once.
This is maybe not quite what you were asking, but I've thought for a while that a noma-style terroir restaurant in semi-rural Alaska would be really interesting.
Lauren, I would have no menu. I would have the wait staff ask each patron their astrological sign. Then return to the kitchen and post the order. The cooks would create the dish accordingly....
i'm going to respond in a little different manner. There is a restaurant building near our house. Right now it has an average Mexican restaurant. Before that it had an Italian restaurant in which the family who owned it moved from NE Minneapolis to the 'burbs. It was open for almost 50 years at its original location, but lasted about three years after it moved. What I would loke at that spot is a restaurant just like one near my aunt's house in Wisconsin, just across the river. It's a pizzaria but also has a full American menu of soups, sandwiches, burgers, and homey entrees. It's a nice small-town restaurant and the only thing we have nearby are chains and sports bars, Asian, and Mexican.

This afternoon, as on all Sunday afternoons, the gym at North Crowley high school echoes with the sound of squeaking sneakers and the thump of a solitary bouncing basketball.There are three of them, a father and his two sons. The youngest, 12-year-old Jaiden Myers, shoots free throws while his father and older brother look on.He's made five in a row. The sixth clanks off the back of the rim."Five pushups," says his father, Greaylin. "You're up, Jordon. Shoot till you miss."After 11 in a row, Jordon, whose name is spelled with two o's to differentiate him from the Jordan he was named after, finally misses."Five pushups," says his father. "You're either gonna be strong or you're gonna be a great free-throw shooter."The state's best freshman basketball player complies, dropping to the ground at his father's instruction.In a few months, Myers will embark on a high-profile, nationwide series of AAU basketball tournaments, playing against the country's top-ranked juniors and seniors.When the whirlwind summer concludes, a different Myers will return to the North Crowley basketball team."Most scouting services start to rank players after their freshman year," AAU coach Jason Ross said. "But typically they see those guys in the summer after their freshman year in order to determine where they're going to end up being ranked. Right now, Jordon Myers is by far the best guard in Texas for the class of 2017."At 6-foot-3 with a 6-foot-6 wingspan, Myers has no trouble playing above the rim. In a district game against rival Arlington Bowie, Myers wowed the crowd while attempting to dunk over 6-foot-10 center Dante Hales. Hales ultimately deflected the attempt, but the fearless nature of the play from the freshman had the crowd on its feet.The moment was captured in a photograph by the Star-Telegram and circulated in the next day's newspaper."All my friends couldn't believe how much higher I was than [Hales]," Myers said. "I didn't think about it. I was just trying to get to the rim."After the Sunday practice session, Jordon's father drops him off at his maternal grandmother's house, where he shares a bedroom with his 9-year-old cousin, Darrion. The walls of the room are plastered with pictures of NBA legends and college logo decals. Across the room, a set of Duke Blue Devils bedsheets have been fashioned into makeshift curtains.Relatively quiet and shy, the basketball prodigy sits on the edge of his twin bed clutching a stack of college recruiting letters wrapped in a rubber band.He pulls out an envelope from Ohio State. "This is the second letter I ever received," he says softly. "It's very special to me. They're in my top five."He sandwiches the envelope between letters from North Carolina and Kansas."These are all blessings," Myers says.All the top schools, it seems, have made initial contact."His game is so smooth and so effortless and graceful," Ross said. "It's kind of like his personality, and I think basketball is really his way of expressing himself."His days are relatively simple."Hoop, school, eat and sleep," Myers says. "Basketball is my first love. I want to be the next Lebron ... the next Kevin Durant."He doesn't blink when he says this."He gets phone calls from different coaches all the time," said his grandmother, Vanessa Reynolds. "They'll call and say they are short a player, and an hour later, someone will pull up to the house and off he'll go. Different teams, different coaches — it doesn't matter to him; he just loves it so much."There are many levels of AAU basketball. Much like select baseball, anyone can field a team and enter a tournament, but at its highest level, the level Jordon occupies, it's like watching a statewide All-Star game every night. His team, Mo Williams Elite, sponsored by NBA veteran Mo Williams of the Portland Trail Blazers, features some of the nation's top-ranked recruits.His team includes top recruits Malik Newman, a 6-foot-3 guard from Jackson, Miss., rated as the No. 2 player in the class of 2015, and Terrance Ferguson, a 6-5 guard from Dallas Prime Prep rated eighth in the class."Scouts are going to come out to see those guys, and in the process they're going to walk away saying 'Wow, did you see that freshman?' He won't be a secret for long," Ross said.Reynolds says if you can't find her grandson outside playing on the neighbor's portable goal, you'll probably find him at North Crowley getting in extra work with his high school coach, Tommy Brakel.Top basketball talent is no stranger to Brakel, who guided his 2007-08 team to the 5A state championship while being named 5A coach of the year."We have had some really, really good basketball players here at North Crowley," Brakel said. "Keith Langford and Willie Warren were both NBA players. Kyan Anderson is the starting point guard at TCU right now. One day, I'll be saying Jordon Myers. I think he has a chance to be an All-American one day."Myers, who was named District 3-5A Newcomer of the Year, is the only true freshman Brakel has ever started on a varsity team."It was a tough decision," Brakel said. "But ultimately, when you have a player as talented as he is and he has the opportunity to help your varsity immediately, it really makes it not such a tough decision."Brakel smiles at the thought of having Myers for three more seasons."We have a strong freshman class," he said. "Jordon is one of the special ones. Maybe we can make another trip downstate in a few years."

DEFINITION of 'Chastity Bond'
A bond that matures immediately upon the completion of a trigger event such as a takeover or a change in control of the issuer. A chastity bond is one of a number of measures - many of which have equally colorful names - that are designed to prevent the hostile takeover of a company. The term is probably derived from the fact that its objective is to prevent unwarranted attention from unwelcome corporate suitors.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Chastity Bond'
Chastity bonds are intended to dissuade hostile takeovers, based on the premise that if a large issue of these bonds mature and become payable upon completion of a takeover, the overall purchase price may become prohibitively expensive to the acquirer.
This anti-takeover measure is conceptually similar to another strategy known as the Macaroni Defense, in which a large issue of bonds must be redeemed upon a takeover or change of control, thereby expanding (like macaroni) the purchase price that the acquirer must pay. The only difference is that chastity bonds mature at par, whereas bonds issued in a Macaroni Defense are redeemable at a substantial premium.

Alicia Carroll makes her way to Catoosa Hall in Ringgold, Ga., to vote before eating lunch Tuesday afternoon.Photo by Dan Henry /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
Northwest Georgia voters sent a clear message Tuesday that they were against a 1 percent sales tax increase that would have funded billions of dollars of transportation projects.
Nearly 70 percent of voters rejected the transportation special purpose local option sales tax across the 15-county district in Tuesday's primary election, with some local voters saying their reason was they didn't want another tax increase.
"I'm against it because I think we pay enough in taxes," Ringgold resident Stephanie Harvey said.
Most regions across Georgia voted down TSPLOST by a wide majority, opting out of the 10-year tax increase. In local counties in the Northwest Georgia region, Catoosa and Walker voted against the sales tax by 60 percent and Whitfield 70 percent, but Dade voted for the tax by 51 percent.
Local leaders who criticize the sales tax say it's a good decision in the long run because it could have hurt the economy and discourage other local sales tax referendums that affect local counties more directly.
"We rely heavily on our own SPLOST for capitol fund projects," said Catoosa County Commission Chairman Keith Greene.
Supporters of the sales tax worry the projects such as repairing or rebuilding bridges in Walker County won't be completed now that the tax has been voted down.
"We won't be able to get near the work done," Walker County Coordinator David Ashburn said.
If the sales tax had passed, the 15-county district would have gained $1.4 billion to be divided -- 75 percent going to the proposed projects and 25 percent to counties and cities for other transportation-related work.
Transportation officials say this means the projects slated for each county either won't be completed or will be on a slower waiting list.
Officials say it doesn't matter how many districts vote against the sales tax, it will go into effect in the areas that vote for the increase.
In districts that rejected the sales tax, only some of the projects that were approved still will be completed, Georgia Department of Transportation Deputy Commissioner Todd Long said. But he couldn't give any criteria on how that decision would be made.
"Some of them just never get done, some of them will be done [but] take longer," Long said.
The districts that voted down TSPLOST now will have to match 30 percent on future state road projects paid for by the local maintenance and improvement grant.
Ringgold voter Pat Maples said she supported the proposed tax because everyone is taxed the same, unlike a property tax increase.
But Ringgold voter Kelly Bowman said state and local governments should be resourceful with the funds they have and not ask taxpayers to bear more of the burden.
"They ought to be able to work with what they have," he said.

Like most of you, we plowed through Call of Duty 4's single-player campaign in a day and then spent the next couple of years blasting away at multiplayer. It's not that the campaign was horrible, far from it. The first Modern Warfare employed innovative techniques that pushed the boundaries of interactive storytelling. There are several threads that carry over into Modern Warfare 2, which takes place 5 years later, so we'll catch you up on who's who and how they fit into the Modern Warfare universe. Plus, it's a convenient excuse to yet again sing the praises of Captain Price's well-coiffed mustachios.
You play as Soap for a good portion of Modern Warfare. You start as an SAS recruit and quickly find yourself embroiled in a borderless conflict revolving around a middle-eastern coup and a Russian civil war. In the dramatic climax, you stop a nuclear strike from destroying the east coast of the United States and then kill Imran Zakhaev, leader of the Russian ultranationalists and perpetrator of the attack. For the record, the picture above was pulled from MW2; you never see Soap's face in CoD4.
Why it matters: In MW2, Soap has ripened into the stalwart Captain MacTavish and occupies a role akin to Captain Price's in CoD4. He's your squad leader and mentor when you play as SAS noob "Roach," and among other characteristics has adopted Price's penchant for stogies and burly facial hair.
Soap's mentor and all around badass dude, Captain Price is the leader of an elite SAS unit that combats terrorism around the globe. His status is left unresolved at the end of CoD4 – the last you see of him, he appears to be fatally wounded though he is receiving frantic medical attention. You (as Soap) are medevac'd before you get closure on his condition.
Why it matters: Price is a man of action, so he's naturally influenced the events of the sequel. We don't want to say more for fear of spoiling it for you.
Next page: More lurid characters! More savory internets! More warmongering fun for the entire family!

No relief for allergy sufferers.
In Mason, Nurse Practitioner Jena King at Allegiance Family Medicine on Hogsback Rd. is still treating seasonal allergies.
Symptoms include: sneezing; scratchy, sore throat; itchy, watery eyes; runny nose and congestion.
Try over-the-counter products to dry up drainage and loosen congestion, or take over-the-counter antihistamines.
You should try to avoid exposure to allergens, when possible.
Call your doctor if you continue to struggle with symptom control.
And upper respiratory infections are going around in Ingham Regional Medical Center's Emergency Department.
Doctors there say the main culprit is viruses or germs that spread to others by sneezing, coughing and personal contact.
If you have a cold, you should drink fluids, rest, and take Advil or Tylenol for aches and fever control.

Just a bit of a vent... Grrr...
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 09-10-2012 - 11:40am
I don't know if it's my hormones or what, but I'm really struggling with opinionated people right now. It's getting to the point in my pregnancy where I've decided not to discuss my decisions as a parent with other people. I realize that everyone has their own opinions and has the right to be passionate about them, but I feel like I'm constantly getting battered by wave after wave of people spewing their "passion" on me.. haha.
I brought up the issue of circumcision with a friend of mine (bad decision) because we were talking about how difficult it is to make decisions about parenting in this day and age with so much information being thrown at you. She asked about circumcision and I said that I've discussed it at length with DH and he's pretty adamant about having it done if we have a boy. I've played devils advocate quite a bit and have been challenging him to really look into it before we have the procedure done, and he is. When I mentioned that to her she flipped out on me. Told me that it was no different than female mutilation that happens in some countries and proceeded to say some pretty offensive things about my DH. Now she's starting to send me links to different websites regarding her opinions on the matter and it's really starting to get to me.
We're not taking this decision lightly... I've discussed it with people on both sides of the fence and have been trying to educate myself. My cousin is a doctor and has seen some horrendous infections and problems from uncircumcised men. He said that he had to perform a late circumcision on a 13 year old who kept getting horrible infections and it was tramatic for the boy and for my cousin. All of the men in my family have been circumcised, where as none of the men in her family are, so I understand that she wouldn't understand it.. I just don't understand why people get so CRAZY. Vaccinations, co-sleeping, breastfeeding.. Y.I.K.E.S. I've just had enough of being made to feel like I'm going to be the worst sort of mother if I make make my own decisions. From now on, I'm going to put my foot down and not continue having conversations with people about it unless they act polite and respectful.
Ok, rant over ... Defintely must be the hormones.
|Mon, 09-10-2012 - 1:50pm
Sorry you had to deal with that. I don't even bring up those issues anymore with anyone. They are too controversial!
Due march 6
|Mon, 09-10-2012 - 2:51pm
I've come to the same conclusion about it.. Since I don't have a penis I'm probably going to agree with what my husband thinks is best, but I'll probably question whatever decision we reach for a long time. I've discovered that men are really sensitive about this issue. Obviously my friend is too ;p.. haha
|Mon, 09-10-2012 - 5:27pm
When I had my first DS, I asked our pediatrician her opinion on vaccines because I read so many different debates about it. And her response was, "my opinion is my opinion and I choose not to share that because I want you to make the decision you feel is best and I will fully support whatever decision you make." So, I chose to vaccinate my kids. Almost 6 years later, and I STILL don't know her opinion on vaccines because she's not biased either way.
So anyway, my advice would be to talk it over with your DH and make a decision. Once you make the decision, dont look back on it or beat yourself up over it because you can honestly say you did your research and made an informed decision.
|Mon, 09-10-2012 - 6:32pm
And by the way, all three of my boys have been circumsized. I can definitely see the concerns on both sides of the issue and respect what others want to do. I just barely saw a report on the news, about a study on men in Africa and how those who were circumsized were less likely to have HIV. This has changed the academy of pediatrics stance on circumcision...so they now think the benefits to circumcision outweigh the risks. So you could tell your friend that to help get off your back! LOL.
Also, I have watched all three of my boys' circumcisions. I wanted to be there for them...and I had read so many horror stories on message boards. But the procedure was not horrific at all....they gave them a shot to numb the area first. In fact, Jackson didn't even cry!!! The other two did, but they were very easy to console afterwards..they'd give them a binky dipped in sugar water and they loved that.
|Mon, 09-10-2012 - 6:49pm
Phew, glad to see this is still a civil conversation! Ha ha - our board name should be the no drama mamas. Nothing can stir up a raging, pissy debate than circumcision, I think even more so than breastfeeding, staying at home, etc. I think circumcision is on the decline and I wouldn't be surprised if it went away a century from now but it is still a personal choice and I don't think it should be linked to femal genital mutilation. I saw the other day that the American Associate of Pediatricians put out a recommendation the circumcision be done whereas they were silent on the subject before. My DS is circumcised, and because he is and DH is, if this one is a boy, he will be too but honestly, if this were my first boy, I might go the uncircumcised route, I don't know. I haven't done any real research on it lately. But again, glad to see this is a civilized conversation.

I have a friend who is a major breastfeeding nut. I am all for breastfeeding if you choose to. I choose to pump and bottle feed breast milk. No I don't think it is more work and I don't mind the time spent on the pump. I am not pumping your boobs so why do you care? UGH!
|Wed, 09-12-2012 - 1:49pm
I'm glad this is a civilized conversation too .. If this had been any other board, I probably wouldn't have posted it, but this one is small and all the ladies on here are fantastic, so I felt safe in speaking up. I would never, ever be cruel to someone because they had a different opinion on parenting than I did. I guess I just feel in general that our society has made it ok to belittle and go on the attack when we don't agree with something, but this doesn't need to be the case. I'm waaayyy more apt to listen to someone who disagrees with me if they're polite about it and I think that goes for the majority of people. This pregnancy HAS made me much more sensitive than usual though. I can't handle the political commercials and commentary on TV right now, or on Facebook for that matter. I just want to spend the rest of my pregnancy free of angst and bickering while I dance in a field of wildflowers and sing to the woodland animals.. HA!
Thanks for listening, ladies! And for being pretty much awesome
