Ted Allen's Pretentious Foodie Bulls**t Recipe (Video)
Categories: Famous Foodies, Really?
|Ted Allen makes food for yuppie scum
Allen's got a new book out. Kinda. Pretentious Foodie Bullshit includes tons of recipes that require sourcing rare yet locally grown produce like chocolate mint and albino carambola, along with procuring fresh lionfish or geoduck or baby goat that was breast-fed by a kangaroo.
Allen went on everyone's favorite morning show, Today Now, to demonstrate a dish that only yuppie scum would like. The dish, consisting of some bullshit expensive fish rolled in cob nuts, sets Ted into a tailspin of epic proportions.
Watch Ted's meltdown here (by the way, as much as we want this cookbook, both it and Today Now are figments of The Onion's imagination... in overdrive):

The transition to postmenopause is a normal part of the aging process. It is also a time of physical changes. You can expect some emotional responses to these changes, both positive and negative.
Menopause does not create serious emotional issues for most women. Many women celebrate a sense of freedom from birth control concerns and menstrual bleeding. Often women find this time of life highly productive in their work and personal lives. But it is also common to feel unsettled about body changes that seem beyond your control, including:

geometric quantization higher geometric quantization
geometry of physics: Lagrangians and Action functionals + Geometric Quantization
prequantum circle n-bundle = extended Lagrangian
prequantum 1-bundle = prequantum circle bundle, regularcontact manifold,prequantum line bundle = lift of symplectic form to differential cohomology
Given a (pre)symplectic manifold , its quantomorphism group is the Lie group that integrates the Lie bracket inside the Poisson algebra of . This is a circle group-central extension of the group of Hamiltonian symplectomorphisms. It extends and generalizes the Heisenberg group of a symplectic vector space.
(Warning on terminology: A more evident name for the quantomorphism group might seem to be "Poisson group". But this already means something different, see Poisson Lie group.)
Over a symplectic manifold an explicit construction of the corresponding quantomorphism group is obtained by choosing a prequantum circle bundle, regarded with an Ehresmann connection 1-form on , and then defining
to be the subgroup of the diffeomorphism group on those diffeomorphisms that preserve . In other words, the quantomorphism group is the group of equivalences of bundles with connection that need not cover the identity diffeomorphism on the base manifold .
Notice that the tuple is a regular contact manifold (see the discussion there), and so the quantomorphism group is equivalently that of contactomorphisms of weight 0.
This perspective lends itself to a more abstract description: we may regard the prequantum circle bundle as being modulated by a morphism
in the cohesive (∞,1)-topos Smooth∞Grpd, with domain the given symplectic manifold and codomain the smooth moduli stack for circle bundles with connection. This in turn may be regarded as an object in the slice (∞,1)-topos. Then the quantomorphism group is the automorphism group
in (Sch).
From this it is clear what the quantomorphism ∞-group of an n-plectic ∞-groupoid should be: for
the morphism modulating a prequantum circle n-bundle, the corresponding quantomorphism -group is again , now formed in
The quantomorphism group for a symplectic manifold may naturally be equipped with the structure of a group object in ILH manifolds (Omori, Ratiu-Schmid), as well as in convenient manifolds (Vizman, prop.).
For a connected symplectic manifold there is a central extension of groups
This is due to (Kostant). It appears also (Brylinski, prop. 2.4.5).

Behind tall fences topped with razor wire, tidy buildings and acres of lush lawns barely soften the hard reality of incarceration at Indian River Juvenile Correctional Facility in Massillon, Ohio. At any time the maximum security detention center is a temporary "home" to about 300 boys between the ages of 12 and 21 who have committed crimes ranging from felony 1 through 5. It's easy for ordinary people to ignore places like this. Out of sight, out of mind ... but Lisa and Mike Randazzo are far from ordinary.
Each week they reach out to those behind the tall fences with a unique program using draft horses which have been rescued from abuse, neglect or in many cases, death. The young men and these horses often have much in common. Just as the horses' scars heal, a sort of healing also happens with the boys who interact with the animals.
The arrival of the Randazzo pickup, trailer and volunteer crew is anxiously awaited. A dozen or so very polite young men, most dressed in white t-shirts and black pants rush forward to meet the entourage. A few wear bright blue shirts indicating they have earned mentor status in the horse program–a distinction they wear with great pride. Mike, Lisa and their helpers are welcomed with big smiles and hugs.
In order for as many as possible to take part in the program, sessions are limited to two hours for three weeks during which the boys are introduced to grooming, harnessing, riding and driving the horses. It isn't much time, but it's obvious that every minute is precious to the kids who have come to know and love the horses and the volunteers.
In 2007, Lisa presented Indian River's superintendent, Beth Oprisch, with her proposal to use horses to minister to the school's residents. The success of the program has exceeded everyone's expectations. While animals are often used therapeutically in correctional facilities, previous efforts at Indian River had less than stellar results.
Jim Darnell, a unit administrator speaks from experience. "There was a greyhound program, but they paired the dogs with mental cases and that was bad for everyone, especially the dogs," he recalls solemnly shaking his head.
A Quarter Horse program followed and, while it was promising and the boys enjoyed the horses, the constantly-fluctuating student population led to its premature demise. "The program used journaling to monitor the effectiveness of interaction with the horses, but as kids left the school the presenters were unable to collect consistent long-term data," he explains. The round pen that was left behind when that project ended didn't go unused for long.
When Lisa approached the school with her agenda, the administration eagerly agreed to give it a try. "We couldn't be happier," beams Beth Oprisch. "The kids really respond to this."
Facilities like Indian River face enormous challenges as they strive to maintain a safe, secure and humane environment while developing skills necessary for their charges to become good citizens upon release. One reason this program has proven so effective may be because the rehabilitated horses exemplify the potential of previously-damaged lives.
"The students are very interested. When the horses are here, there are no behavioral problems. The Randazzos come each week and their passion inspires the kids to be respectful. The majority of these kids come from metropolitan areas, so for many, this is their very first encounter with horses," explains the superintendent.
While some start out fearful, the confidence built in a few short weeks is apparent by remarks overheard as the horses back out of the trailer.
"Oh, I sure hope I get to drive today…," says Mason. He's jittery with excitement. "I really like being with animals." He smiles and tells me about his dogs back home. Another young man grabs a brush and begins grooming Reuben, a handsome Clydesdale, as he gushes, "I've gotten to ride and I've washed and brushed and long-lined so far…" There's a palpable joy among the boys and the staff and the horses are visibly calm. The fact that each animal has a story to which these kids can relate is undoubtedly a factor in the success of God's Gentle Giants.
While that "gentle giant" moniker is often inappropriately applied, in this case it is a wonderfully apt label as demonstrated by the horses the boys are fawning over. Percherons Pete and Zeke were several hundred pounds underweight when they came to the program. Reuben, the Clydesdale, was dismissed from a six-horse hitch when he no longer had enough flash. But the undisputed favorite is Moses, a former logging horse destined for slaughter not once, but three times.
He's an extreme example of how not only people, but horses benefit from this program. "We bring abused horses because they connect with the kids," says Lisa.
His hocks are still swollen and look like they've been painted green for some festival, but that's just the sulfur and mineral oil Lisa uses to treat his compromised condition. The flesh was literally rotting off his legs when they acquired him a year earlier, but while his recovery is slow, it is steady. Lisa's vet is amazed by his improvement.
Most people would have given up on Moses, and several actually did, but she saw something worth saving. That vision and dedication sends a powerful message to kids who might wonder if they themselves are worth saving. Her commitment to the battered horse conveys more than any words could say. It's a safe bet that no horse anywhere receives more love or genuine concern than Moses does at Indian River.
The Percherons are being harnessed in the round pen. Reuben has been hitched to a cart and Lisa takes each boy for a drive around the huge grassy field. While Reuben may no longer have what it takes to be part of a fancy hitch, here he is a star who really shines. Behind the round pen Moses is the grateful recipient of most of the attention. He's brushed, hugged, kissed and he's privy to many secrets. One boy leads him as they take turns riding him bareback. Moses is clearly adored.
Staff members enjoy the lovely spring evening, too. "Come on, Miz O, go for a ride in the cart," someone yells and obligingly the smiling superintendent climbs in for a go around the field. Although most of the kids have no experience with horses, they're all eager to talk about what the program means to them.
Daniel says, "Being locked up, you get depressed, but being out here with the horses really makes you feel good." Then he adds, "I've only got 166 days left."
"We all get something from these visits, but trust is the most important thing," says a serious boy named Joe. To get the trust of these big horses gives me a sense of power. Horses don't lie. They show the truth and they aren't out to trick you like some humans. It's peaceful and you learn patience. I've learned how to take control without violence. When I get out I'm coming back here to volunteer."
Joe wouldn't be the first to do so. A former resident named Nick who had gained mentor status with God's Gentle Giants now attends college and volunteers at a horse camp. As the evening draws to a close, all the boys encircle Moses. They all touch him and lower their heads. It's apparent that they are praying which begs the question of the religious implications at this state facility.
The Randazzos are evangelicals whose mission is to lead others to God. Their bright blue shirts say "FBI," under which is explained "Firm Believers In Christ." Boys are forewarned of the program's religious focus and it is their choice whether they still want to take part in it. Unlike some religious interventions, God's Gentle Giants projects a quiet message through actions more than through verbal preachings.
The Superintendent quickly points out that it was not the volunteers who initiated the closing prayer around Moses, but the boys. "Yes, religion is a component of the program, but it's about freedom of religion, not freedom from religion," she says. "It's the boys who want to pray for the horses. I see religion as the moral fabric that motivates volunteers to come and work with these kids."
Dusk comes too soon and another week's program draws to a close. After many more hugs and almost-tearful farewells, the horses are loaded into the trailer. The cart is somehow wrestled back into the bed of a pickup truck and the boys return to their dorms clearly enriched by what they have each personally experienced.
The Randazzos are proof that God works in mysterious ways. They're dedicated to what Lisa describes as "God's calling," but it is perhaps their blunt honesty and refreshing lack of pretension that sets them apart from some "horse people."
When asked about their background with horses, Lisa lets out a whoop and laughs, "What background! We are functioning giblets. We can tell you how not to do a lot of things." Then she relates the unusual path that led her to Indian River.
"God doesn't call the qualified. He qualifies the called," she begins. Just two years earlier she had been an inner-city volunteer, passing out meals and tossing rose petals from the top of the Hope-Mobile. "I used to take rose petals from my garden and throw them out to make the kids look up. They would stuff the petals in their pockets and take them (and the meals) home because they wanted to give their caretakers something special. This was so important to me," she recalls.
She was on top of the truck when the preacher forbade her from future petal tossing. That's when she received her first message that changed the course of her life. "God said, 'Your joy has been taken away. Don't go there anymore, get a horse.'"
She and Mike were living on 5.5 acres when she received that order, so, with admitted skepticism, she started looking at horses, finally settling on a mare named Rose. She felt the name was a sign. One thing led to another and the couple soon moved from their gated community to a 113-acre farm in the next county. They currently have nine horses with a couple in foal. The petite Lisa and her congenial husband Mike admit to getting as much from the prison sessions as any of the boys.
Reuben getting attention
"I just turned 41 and I know I am exactly where I'm supposed to be. I have a deep sense of peace within me. When I reflect on my life I see that it was all preparation for what I'm doing now," Lisa says confidently. She's seen the impact the horses have upon the young men.
"Most of them have never been around a farm animal, let alone one that weighs around a ton. We teach them how to use non-resistance training. Horses react a lot like people. Herd leaders make good choices and are respected by the rest of the herd, so they get to experience the pecking order up close and personal in a round pen. We teach the concept of herding and team work as well as how to love and be loved. The boys are immediately forced to learn respect and eventually they even learn to trust again."
She notes the empathy between the boys and the animals. "Unfortunately, like the horses, these boys, too, have been hurt by humans. Some are even afraid of a gentle touch or a kind word."
Lisa feels the formerly-abused horses are actually the ones ministering to the kids who are often stunned to learn of cruelties which have been inflicted upon some of the animals. "We are convinced that these Gentle Giants can soften a hardened heart quicker than any drug or psychologist," she says. "When we see the joy on the faces of these boys, it's all worthwhile."
The response to God's Gentle Giants has been dramatic. Already another facility has requested their program. No outside funding offsets the program costs. Lisa quickly points out that her generous husband's car dealership foots the bill, but Kalmbach Feeds generously donated Carhartts for which the entire crew is grateful. "It really helped our image," she says, then laughs about looking like "the Beverly Hillbillies" with their driving cart stuffed into the bed of a pickup truck. Such good-natured self-deprecation makes it easy to see why the boys and staff at Indian River are all smiles when Lisa, Mike and their crew of volunteers arrive each week.
She wishes others would consider volunteering at youth facilities because she's seen the healing benefits of their efforts. "There are so many knowledgeable people out there with draft horses that could be doing something like this in their own community. Some retired draft horses would thrive in programs like this. If we can do it, so can others."

Property Name:
Market Master's House
Date Listed:
Inventory No.:
4006, 48th Street, Bladensburg, Prince Georges County
The Market Master's House is an 18th century vernacular stone dwelling with 20th century additions, set at the rear of a long, narrow lot. It was constructed in the Village of Bladensburg c. 1765, when the village was an active tobacco shipping port. The original block is a two-by-one bay, gable-roofed, 25 x 20 foot structure, 1 1/2 stories in height, of randomly laid roughly shaped stone. It contains one room on the first story, a corner stair, and one room on the second story, lighted by a gable-roofed 6/6 sash dormer window on the north and south roof slopes. A small two-story west kitchen addition and one-story south shed-roofed addition were added c. 1920. The additions and later renovations in 1956 were sensitively done, retaining 18th century material and the scale and character of the earlier part of the dwelling. The house faces south, with a three-bay facade consisting of a central door flanked by 6/6 sash windows. The western window is now covered by the shed-roofed addition. The east facade consists of a casement window in the center of the first floor, and a 6/6 sash window in the gable above. The north facade contains two openings, grouped in the center of the wall. The easternmost is a wide glazed door, and the western opening is a 6/6 sash window. Above this window is a 6/6 sash gable-roofed dormer. A similar dormer appears above the central entrance on the south facade. The west facade is mostly covered by the early-20th century addition, which is two bays wide, with a wide shed-roofed dormer. An interior chimney rises through the west gable end of the wood shingled roof of the main block. The large deep fireplace in the first floor was covered by a mantel of random fieldstone laid with concrete mortar, during the 1920 renovation of the house. The original hearth opening with a round arch of brick headers is visible behind this mantel. The interior walls are plastered, and the ceiling has exposed rough-hewn beams with plaster between them. The window in the north wall, which was altered from a door, is set above a wainscot panel. The flooring varies in width from seven to nine inches. The flooring and plaster date to c. 1920. The hewn beams are original material. A separate room on the east side of this floor contains a built-in cupboard in the southeast corner and a closet with a door of vertical beaded boards and HL hinges in the northeast corner, beneath the stairway. The wood moldings, doors, and hinges all date to the c. 1920s or the c. 1956 renovation. It is not known if this small east alcove is an original room division.
The Market Master's House is significant for its association with the 18th century development of the town of Bladensburg. Bladensburg was established in 1742 as a regional commercial center by an Act of the Maryland General Assembly. With the establishment in 1747 of a government tobacco inspection system, Bladensburg became a designated tobacco inspection and grading port. Lot 38 of Bladensburg was purchased by Christopher Lowndes on September 23, 1760, and he built this structure by 1765. Lowndes was a businessman who built nearby Bostwick in 1746, and served as a Justice for the County from 1753-1775, and under the new State government, until his death in 1785. He also served as a Town Commissioner from 1745-85. By 1776, although still a village, Bladensburg was one of the busiest ports in Maryland, exporting more tobacco than any other port on the western shore. Tobacco was an important part of Maryland's economy in the 18th century. The use of the Market Master's House as a headquarters for tobacco inspectors or an overseer of tobacco marketing activity has not been proven, and no description of an approved Market Master has been found for the town of Bladensburg. However, the Market Master's House is one of only four buildings remaining from this significant period of the town's history. Of the four 18th century buildings, the Market Master's House is the only one which illustrates the minimum type of structure required by ordnance in order for a property owner to retain ownership of a lot in the newly formed town.

Gould Genealogy has now reset its worldwide package rates from Australia, so that it is now a flat fee of AU$7.95 to post to Scotland (or elsewhere in the world) - so about a fiver in real money. The price is also the same for two books the same weight packed together, but goes up after that. Hope that helps!

Around 31,000 tonnes of chemicals are used in farming in the UK each year to kill weeds, insects and other pests that attack crops. There is surprisingly little control over how these chemicals are used in the non-organic sector and in what quantities or combinations.
Even food that we think is healthy, such as non-organic Cox's apples, can be sprayed 18 times. The most dangerous chemicals used in farming, such as organophosphates, have been linked with a range of problems including decreasing male fertility, foetal abnormalities, chronic fatigue syndrome in children and Parkinson's disease.
It has been widely reported that the hormones of wildlife can be affected by pesticides containing compounds that work in a similar way to oestrogen, known as hormone disrupting chemicals. There is evidence that humans are also affected. These chemicals have been linked to genital abnormalities in male babies' and a decline in semen quality over the last 50 years. In 2000 the European Commission produced a draft list of 34 pesticides that are, or could be, hormone disrupters.
Some crops are sprayed with more than one type of chemical and, consequently, food can contain residues of a number of different pesticides. While there is some scientific evidence about the effects of individual chemicals on our health, there is little research regarding how combinations of pesticides react: this is often referred to as the cocktail effect. The few studies that are available show worrying results. Mixtures of insecticides, herbicides and nitrates at low levels (which are permitted in groundwater) can affect the reproductive, immune and nervous systems in ways that individual chemicals do not.
Some chemicals are so mobile and persistent that residues of them have been found in the Arctic. Washing produce with water may have little effect as residues are formulated to resist being washed off easily so that they can survive during rain showers and some chemicals are designed to work within the plant.

Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."

Some perfumes are as fragrant as an infants flesh, sweet as an oboes cry, and greener than the spring; While others are triumphant, decadent or rich; Having the expansion of infinite things, like ambergris and musk, benzoin and frankincense, which sing the transports of the mind and every sense.

Spring Semester
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 12-31-2012 - 5:37pm
I can't believe that the Spring Semester is just around the corner all ready! Next week, Monday to be exact, classes start again. I'm both looking forward to and dreading it, lol. I've enjoyed the few weeks break from having to balance my family and my school. But I really enjoy my field of study and am looking forward to the two classes I am taking this semester. I'm so glad that I lowered my course load from 4 to 2 classes, though, as I had trouble keeping up with 3 last semester and I don't know how I would have done it with 4!
When do your classes start again? Are you looking forward to it?
|Wed, 01-02-2013 - 8:13am
Spring classes start the 15yhj or 16th of January and I'm taking two classes too, I love the program I'm in and I've met so many people along the way too! Eventually I'm going to have to transfer to an online school (I'm pondering Excellsior) b/c of some personal things and I hope the field I finish provides an opportunity to help others in either the non-profit or public sector, My program is psychology and humanities.

Sorrow Chap 18Sorrow(Chapter 18)[[Amy]]She is such a whore and it drives me crazy! They way she's all over Knuckles like he's a freaking piece of meat! I mean Shadow's alright... I guess. But Knuckles.... He's.... He's so funny and... and he's cute... and.... Oh well. I'll never have a chance with him. Can't he go out with a girl like me? I mean, I've known him basically all my life! And I've tried to be obvious that I like him but it just doesn't work.... Rouge's tanktop wasn't even a tank top. The sleeves are like a strand of string!I wore a black and white long sleeve, long gray shorts, black and white DCs, and black sunglasses. My hair was up in a pigtail. Blaze wore black shorts, a red,black,orange, and white shirt that says 'Necromancer' and rainbow converses. Silver wore black shorts, a blue shirt, and black and blue nikes. I dunno what Shadow or Cosmo or Knuckles anyone else were wearing and at the moment I really don't care.Amy- I have no idea but it's something alright.Tails- She dre
Sorrow Chap 4Sorrow(Chapter 4)[[Shadow]]Amy- AHHH!!That sounded like...Shadow- Amy!!Amy- SH-SHADOW!!!Shadow- AMY!! I'M COMING!!Oh no! Amy's in trouble. Where could she be? I hope she's alright.[[Amy]]I don't know what's attacking me but it's really slimy! It has a disgusting smell too!! Ugh. I don't know what I did to deserve this! My life is always getting worse and worse.The thing that was attacking me lifted me up into the air.Amy- PUT ME DOWN!!The creature made a grumbling noise then shook me back and forth really hard. It was pitch black and I couldn't see anything around me. I got really dizzy and I threw up. The creature shook me even harder.Amy- Nhhhhh...The creature dropped me on the ground. I hit my head really hard on the ground and I was knocked out cold.[[Shadow]]I took a flashlight that was conviently in my bookbag. I turned it on and shone it around. I saw a trail of black slime. I followed it hoping that it would lead to Amy.Fortuantely it did.Shadow- Amy!I ran t
Sorrow ShadAmySorrow(Chapter 1)[[Amy]]I was in my science class. While the teacher was droning on and on about blood type, I was drawing little hearts on my notebook and in the hearts I wrote Sonic. Sonic is my crush... everyone knows that. I really like him and I've tried to in his heart hundreds of times. But his heart belongs to Sally Acorn. The princess of Mobius. She gets everything she wants, especially when someone else wants it.Teacher- Class dismissed.Sally this, Sally that. Blah blah blah! No body cares about her! She doesn't even have a heart! It's a black hole!!Teacher- Amy, class dismissed.I looked up.Amy- Oh. Heh, sorry.Teacher- It's alright.I gathered my things and left the class. I ran quicly to my locker. On my way to History I bumped into Silver and Blaze.Amy- Hey guys.Blaze- Hey. We're gunna skip class. Wanna come?I looked at the door then back at Blaze and Silver. I really don't want to be in class now.Amy- Yeah. I guess.Silver- Cool. Come on. Let's go.Blaze- M'ka
Sorrow Chap 14Sorrow(Chapter 14)[[Amy]]Amy- Bye Blaze! See ya tomorrow at school. You too Silver!Blaze- Peace Ames.Silver- Bye Ames!Amy- Bye Tails, Cosmo and Manny!Cosmo & Tails & Manny- Bye Ames!Shadow, Knuckles and I left Blaze's huge mansion-like house. We went straight to my house since it's really late. They told their parents where they were gonna be. At my house. They're sleeping over tonight.When we got to the door of my house, I took out my keys and opened the door.Amy- Mom? We're home!Amy's Mom- OK sweetie! Just get into your pajamas and go to sleep! Knuckles and Shadow you too!Amy & Shadow & Knuckles- OK!Amy- Follow me.I led them upstairs to my room. Since it's just me, my mom and my dad living here there's only 3 bedrooms. The other one is Marie's old bedroom but she doesn't want anyone in it until she comes back from college.I opened the door to my room. My room was more like a boy room. Messy. Clothes and sneakers on the floor. CDs spread out on the table next to my bed.
Sorrow Chap 16Sorrow(Chapter 16)[[Amy]]The bell rang for lunch. I got up and led Knuckles and Shadow to the cafeteria. We met up with Blaze, Silver, Cosmo, Tails and Manny.Amy- Hey guys.Blaze- Hey....*hic*Amy- What's wrong with you?Silver- She got a hang over from last night.Amy- What did you do to her...?Silver looked at Blaze nervously.Silver- Nothing.I glared at him.Amy- It was something. And I will find out. So ya better watch your back buddy.Blaze nearly collapsed but Silver caught her before she fell.Blaze- Th-thanks. *hic*Amy- You should sit down Blaze.Blaze- OK *hic* Amy. *hic*She sat down wearily in the chair. Her face looked pale and she put her hand to her mouth. Then she ran to the nearest garbage can and threw up. Silver and I ran to her.Amy & Silver- Blaze?! Are you alright?!I glared at Silver.Blaze- Yeah I'm just...fine.She almost collapsed again but Silver caught her. We brought her back to our table. She sat down and put her head on the table and moaned.Blaze-
Sorrow Chap 15Sorrow(Chapter 15)[[Amy]]Amy- Huh?Shadow sweat dropped and gave me a nervous grin.Amy- What did ya say Knuckles?Knuckles- I said...oof.Shadow punched Knuckles in the stomach after he said 'before'.Knuckles- Never mind...Amy- Umm, OK? Just shut up and go to sleep. Both of you.Knuckles- Yes mommy.Amy- Say one more thing and I swear I will kill you.Knuckles- Why so cranky? Is it that time of month again Amy?Amy- Oh my God!I jumped on him and started kicking and punching him.Knuckles- That's not fair I can't hit a girl.Amy- Then you're a punk!Knuckles- I said I can't hit girls.... Which means I can hit you back!He started to punch and kick me back. He pulled my hair and I bit his arm.Knuckles- Ow that hurt!Amy- You hurt me too!Knuckles & Amy- Well don't just stand there. Do something!We both stopped. I had Knuckles pinned to the floor and we were both waiting for Shadow to do something. He did nothing.I yawned then got up.Knuckles- Hey! Don't leave me in the middle
Sorrow Chap 13Sorrow(Chapter 13)[[Amy]]Shadow and Knuckles are coming to the party! I asked them and they said yes. I finally get to see them again.I wore my black skinnies that have green streaks on them, a green hoodie, a black headband, and a green pair of DCs. I put my hair up in pigtails. Shadow wore a pair of navy blue jeans, a red sweater and navy blue Nikes. Knuckles wore a blue short sleeve shirt, blue skinnies, and blue Nikes.I've been at the party for two hours and so far all I did was talk to Shadow and Knuckles. When we were in the middle of our conversation, Blaze called everyone to the living room. She was wearing a short blue dress, orange converses, and a headband. She had an empty bottle of beer in her hand.Blaze- OK everyone! We're gonna play a game. Sit in a circle.We did as she said. I sat across from Shadow and Knuckles, next to Blaze and Cosmo. Cosmo was wearing black skinnies, a purple shirt and black flats. Blaze placed the bottle in the middle.Blaze- We'r
Sorrow Chap 3Sorrow(Chapter 3)[[Amy]]It's so cold and lonely in here.... I pulled my sweater on that was around my waist. My stupid uniform is making me even colder. My skirt is short and my socks go a few inches below my knees.But the weird thing is that it's April and it's freezing cold in here. But it's still spring. And it feels like winter.I heard a shuffling noise behind me. I swiftly turned around but nothing was there.I've been in here hundreds of times and I've never been this scared.How long has it been? It feels like I've been here for hours.And it keeps on getting darker the more I walk deeper into the house. I wonder if I should turn back, but there's something making me not want to turn back. Something that wants me to continue. So I do.[[Shadow]]School finally finished and now I'm waiting for Amy and Knuckles in front of the abandoned house. I've been here for 20 minutes already. I sat on the doorstep and just relaxed.I heard laughing and giggling. One of the people laughi
Sorrow Chap 5Sorrow(Chapter 5)[[Shadow]]I got home and went straight upstairs. My mom saw me but didn't ask me what happened. When I got to my room I shut the door closed and locked it. I went to my drawer and took out a picture of me and Amy. It might be the last time I see her. But I shouldn't say that.Shadow's Mom- Shad? Are you alright.Shadow- Just fine.Shdaow's Mom- Are you sure.Shadow- Yes.Shadow's Mom- There's something wrong.Shadow- If I tell you will you leave me alone?Shadow's Mom- Fine. But if you don't open the door I'm gonna knock it down.She'd do that. My mom is young. She had me at 15 because she got raped... She ran away from home, got this house from her grandma who said nothing to her parents and had me. Unfortuantley her grandma died and left the house to her.I went to the door and opened it. She came in. I look like her except her hair is yellow and black, and her eyes are brown not red like mine. Her hair goes straight down and curls up at the end.Shadow's Mom- So

Awesome jeans at an awesome price
Reviewer: Barbara (Beckley, WV)
I ordered these pants for my husband to work in and the fit is great, the quality is great, the price is great and they wash up great. So I decided to order them for him to wear as everyday pants for going out or whatever. He really likes the feel, the fit and the price as well. You can not go wrong with these jeans. Definitely will be buying more in the future!!
Great work and knock a round jeans.
Reviewer: Ron (Portsmouth, Va)
I purchased 1 pair of these jeans to try them out. They are comfortable and fit nicely. I washed them and they didn't shrink. I like them so much I purchased 3 more pair.
Great quality and great price...what a terrific combination!!
Reviewer: John Dummitt (Joppa, IL)
Sometimes, searching for products from site to site is a chore in and by itself, but, on rare occasions, there comes a company that stands out above all the rest. I'm a satisfied customer.
shipped wrong size
Reviewer: Mike Marowelli (Smithfield, ky)
I like the jeans i purchased from you and when i ordered them, i had ordered size 32 x 36. When they arrived I had gotten a size 32 x 37U. Had to take and have them taken up because they were to long. Other then that i was very pleased of the product and would order from you again. THANKS Mike Marowelli
Reviewer: steven cantor (Howard Beach, NY)

Angry Nurse here! - page 5
Last night a float pool tech ate my lunch and threw away my tupperware containers when he was done. I didn't know about it until it was too late, but I had homemade soup, yogurt, homemade cookies, and a drink tied in a bag in the... Read More

- 0Jan 7, '13 by DoGoodThenGoAm truly sorry about the OP's plight and yes I would have been "fired" as well, if not taken to central booking! *LOL*
Have worked in hospitals, offices and every place in between and am here to tell you it happens all over the place. Anywhere there is a central kitchen or fridge for employee's to keep their food it is subject to those who feel free to help themselves (theft). There have even been sitcom/movie scenes about it.
While it does seem tempting to place a "surprise" inside one's lunch/dinner for the snatcher it isn't wise. If he or she becomes ill and or otherwise suffers adverse effects you could be the one in trouble.
Being as all this may I would certainly go up the food chain and complain loudly until the matter is addressed. In my day certain aides were banned from going into the nurse's station, breakroom, etc for complaints of "missing" objects. Indeed some head/charge nurses refused to have these persons sent to their floor.
The other worry was post graduates (interns, residents) who always seemed to be on the prowl for food. You could page them for hours to sign an order or start an IV and nothing, but order Chinese food or let the night shift stash their meals in the fridge and then in short order you'd have a plague of them like locusts. Here again supervisors and or nursing administration would either sit the offenders down or complain to the proper channels.
Though not always possible have always felt the nurse's breakroom, fridge and so forth should be like the med room; licensed personnel only. Give aides and others their own space and let them deal with each other when things go missing.
- 0Jan 7, '13 by proud nurse, BSN, RNI've never been a fan of other people's prepared food. I also don't really participate in potlucks. And it takes a lot of nerve to eat a strangers food. You don't know whose mouth you are taking it out of, in this case a pregnant woman's.
Some people are so gross.
- 0Jan 7, '13 by yardienursemake some brownies with x-lax and leave them in the fridge that should fix him or some extra spicy chilli something that wouldnt phisically hurt him but would make him think twice bout doing that again.
- 0Jan 7, '13 by multi10Some hospitals/medical centers have vending machines to provide food when the cafeteria is closed. Over the years they seem to have improved and provide some healthy offerings (apples, cheese, things that you may find okay if this happens to you again).
There is no excuse for a person to steal your food. If you're forced to use vending machines, you have to pay out of pocket. Plus, you may have dietary restrictions.
Some units have the policy, "Label your food. If your food isn't labeled, and is in the fridge on [certain date by certain time], your food will be discarded." Maybe the perpetrator was waiting until the eleventh hour to pounce on your food. Like a big sneaky cat. (To call him a big sneaky cat does a disservice to cats.)
Another thing you could do is bring snacks in your purse, plus meals in a small soft "Polar Bear" cooler that you can store perishables in, and keep in a locker, for your shift.
- 1Jan 7, '13 by jadelpn GuideI would get an insulated bag with a cold pack and put everything in your locked locker. Which is so sad that one has to concern themselves with people not touching their food. OR if you live close to your place of work, perhaps your husband can come have dinner with you and bring you a plate?? Sad and I am the first one to say, if I have extra, I will share it--and give it to you myself. Don't however, touch my food.
