My half-sister, is almost 50 years old and has been in and out of rehab and jail more times than I can count. There are many, many things that she has done in the past to make my other half-sister and I not trust her, but the rest of the family believes in her and keeps giving her chances to turn her life around.
Three years ago, my grandmother became an invalid and couldn't stay by herself. My parents live next door, but needed help with her. My trouble-maker sister volunteered to move in with her and take care of her even though she wasn't related to her. She lived there rent-free and my mother cooked three meals a day for her, her husband, and Grandma. She did feed Grandma and keep her relatively clean, but had a tendency to disappear for days at a time, leaving Grandma alone until my parents happened to come by to visit and discover that she needed help. Not good at all! After Grandma passed away last year, my parents told her she could continue living in Grandma's house until August when they wanted to clean out the house and sell it- 8 months. She claimed she didn't have the money to move. My parents gave her until October. She still didn't have the money to move. They have given her three more deadlines now and there have been excuses upon excuses. Finally, she agreed to move this past week. My parents were paying for the move and she supposedly had a place lined up to move to. At the last minute, she claimed that the new house has mold and she can't move in. On top of all of this, my sister claims to have cancer, something wrong with her esophogus and something to do with gallstones (even though her gall bladder was removed several years ago). She has no doctor's paperwork to prove it and the stories are all overlapping, so I don't believe a word of it. At this point, if she told me her name, I wouldn't believe it. Meanwhile, my parents are broke and buying groceries on credit cards and going further and further into debt because she won't move out of Grandma's house so that they can sell it. She has said many times that she believes my father should give Grandma's house to her because she took care of her. (My parents took care of her for over 16 years before she moved in, but I guess that doesn't mean anything).
I keep telling my parents that they need to make a firm deadline for her to get out and if she's not out by that date, have everything turned off and change the locks. She has never paid rent and the utilities and cable are still in my parents' name. They are sick, elderly and don't want to fight with her. They think she will leave peacefully, but she's not. It shouldn't take her this long to move a few boxes and get out. While she and her husband are staying there, they have let a bunch of dirty stray cats in the house to use as a giant litter box, ruined Grandma's antique furniture, and broken several things. I guess their plan is to ruin the house so that my parents won't be able to sell it and it will go to her by default.
Does anyone have any advice on what I can do to help my parents through this? How can they get this criminal lying freeloader out of the house?

I've seen this movie so I know what I came here looking for. Information about the scantily clad bimbo on the front of the motorcycle magazine should have been front and center on this review. I skimmed it several times and saw nothing. Had I not known better I would have gotten a not so nice surprise at the movie theater. You need to make information like that IMMEDIATE and VISIBLE. That I saw not one mention of this part of the movie removes all trust I could have had in this website. It was a test of sorts. And you failed. Dove.com gave this information and it was easily seen. That's where I'll go from now on.
I appreciate Rod's response. It was courteous and respectful. I read the full review and noticed the nudie magazine comment right away. Thank you for providing this important service. I wish more parents cared enough about what their kids watch to read your previews. I am tired of seeing 5 & 6 year olds in movies like the expendables.

If you are planning to be in Beantown for Turkey Day, there are certainly a number of Boston Attractions that you will want to check out while you are in town.

Looking for a great place to go with Dad for Father's Day? Head to Beantown and see some of the most exciting Boston Attractions that the city has to offer.

"My dear Corvo. What a sad hand fate has dealt you. The beloved Empress dead, and everyone thinks you're the killer. But we know what really happened, don't we? You don't want to end your life to the sound of idiots cheering as your head hits the muck, do you? Let's see if we can do better."Dishonored is a first-person stealth-based game set in an alternate world resembling Steampunk Victorian London, with gameplay resembling a mix of Thief, Deus Ex, BioShock, and The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay with an artstyle done by Half-Life 2's art director. You play as Corvo Attano, bodyguard to the Empress of the Isles, the land in which the game is set. You've just returned from a diplomatic mission to other neighboring countries, looking for help in dealing with the city of Dunwall's current problems with an epidemic of a deadly, rat-borne plague. Unfortunately, the Empress is killed by an unknown murderer at the beginning of the game. Corvo is framed by the corrupt Royal Spymaster, who captures the princess and installs himself as Lord Regent.Six months later, before Corvo is executed, a group of loyalists opposing the new Lord Regent arranges for his escape. After barely escaping with his life, he is visited in his dreams by a being called the Outsider, who gifts him his Mark, granting Corvo the ability to use supernatural powers. Corvo joins and serves the resistance as a Professional Killer in order to take revenge upon the Lord Regent and his corrupt, villainous government. Donning a horrific mask designed to strike terror into his foes, and using a variety of supernatural powers and practical weaponry, Corvo carves a path of terror through Dunwall. His actions, whether merciful or bloodthirsty, will decide his path- and the fate of all who live within the City.Released in North America on October 9, 2012. The UK and Australian release dates were October 12 and 11, respectively.Three pieces of Downloadable Content have been released, with the second and third being story-driven campaigns.The first DLC pack, Dunwall City Trials, was released on December 11 for $4.99 (400 Microsoft points) in North America and on December 19 in Europe. It consists of 10 challenge maps which will test and track your combat, stealth and mobility skills. There are 10 distinct trials - such as an arena battle against AI enemies, timed races, and a gravity-defying run of drop assassinations. The DLC features a new set of achievements/trophies and a global online leaderboard.The second and third DLC, Knife of Dunwall and The Brigmore Witches have you instead play as Daud, the assassin who murdered the empress and one of the game's last targets. Taking place before and during the main game, it concerns Daud receiving a message from the Outsider about his end, and the possibility of him changing his fate, ultimately leading to the encounter with Corvo in the original game.Arkane also announced the Void Walker's Arsenal on May 3rd, 2013. It is a compilation pack of all the Pre-Order Bonus content originally only available through pre-ordering the game at select retail outlets. It was released on May 14th for $4/320 Microsoft Points.A Game of the Year Edition was released in October 2013, containing all four of the DLC packs. Just like the original release, a Themed Tarot Deck was available as a Pre-Order Bonus.A sequel has been rumoured to be released in 2016, with the possibility of Emily Kaldwin being the new protagonist instead of Corvo.

Tropes to be found in the game:

"One more job shouldn't have mattered. I'd killed nobles before. You could float a whaling ship on the high-born blood I've spilled. Another noble steps in to replace the last one, all equally corrupt. Why should an Empress be different?"Following the success of Dishonored, a second and third set of DLC campaigns were released, which both follow previous Anti-Villain Daud and his team of superpowered assassins "The Whalers". They were collectively dubbed The Knife of Dunwall and The Brigmore Witches, and notably provide a Perspective Flip on the instigator of the main plot.The Knife of Dunwall, the first of the two packs, opens as Daud's team performs what should have been a routine job: subduing Corvo and killing the Empress. Jumping ahead 6 months, around the time Corvo first escapes, Daud has had plenty of time to reflect on his actions, and realizes the repercussions of killing the Empress. Contacted again by The Outsider, Daud is given an ultimatum: unravel the mystery of the name "Delilah" before his time runs out.The final pack, The Brigmore Witches, picks up immediately after the first pack, and concludes Daud's storyline. Learning the secret of Delilah, Daud and the Whalers soon come up against a coven of witches. Soon uncovering a dark secret, Daud must hurry to stop a sinister plan that would shake the very foundations of Dunwall. The pack also adds more features and, if the player has a save file from The Knife Of Dunwall, Daud's abilities, weapons and Chaos will carry over.Both DLCs act as a backstory expansion, offering several new missions, locations, enemies, and weapons, as well as a new perspective on the main plot.

Jeff Probst talkes to Survivor finalists
|Wed, 12-12-2012 - 6:44am
For the first time in 25 seasons of "Survivor," its finalists did a public interview before the finale. Naturally, it went down on "The Jeff Probst Show" (airing Wednesday, Dec. 12), where the Emmy-winning host quizzed Lisa Whelchel, Michael Skupin, Malcolm Freberg, Denise Stapley and breakout villain Abi-Maria Gomes about their experience and winning (so far) strategies.
Zap2it caught up with the dimpled torch-snuffer after the taping for the lowdown on one of the greatest seasons in "Survivor" history.

SAN DIEGO – January 18, 2013 – Fight fans will turn their attention to New York City and Madison Square Garden for the first significant bouts of 2013 as HBO's Boxing After Dark series returns with a tripleheader on Saturday, January 19.
Thanks to Top Rank Promotions doing the math, the six boxers in the three featured events have 123 knockouts among their combined 170 fights. Given the nervousness about unexpected decision making by judges, none of these guys want to leave their fate in the hands of the judges if they can help it, always good news for boxing heads. Ringside Seat has your look at what to expect from these three events.
Orlando Salido vs. Miguel Angel "Mikey" Garcia, featherweights
Mexican featherweight champion Orlando Salido (39-11-2, 27 KOs) defends his belt against Miguel Angel "Mikey" Garcia (30-0, 26 KOs), younger brother of trainer Robert Garcia of Oxnard, California.
Salido, age 32, won an exciting, action packed fight against Juan Manuel Lopez last March after beating him in their first meeting in 2011. He also knocked out Moises Guitierrez in a July fight in Mexico. His career has hit speed bumps, losing to Yuriorkis Gamboa in 2010. But he's won his last five bouts by knockout. Is he on a roll? This is the bout of the night where an upset seems a good possibility.
The 25-year-old Garcia will have his hands full with Salido, who can take it just as well as he dishes it out. Garcia, currently the WBO's number one ranked featherweight contended, knocked out former WBA featherweight champion Jonathan Barros in the eighth round in November 2012. He's trained by his father Eduardo, part of the hot ticket Oxnard, California-based Garcia team. Lately everything the Garcia touch has turned to boxing gold including success by Nonito Donaire and Brandon Rios.
Gennady Golovkin vs. Gabriel Rosado, middleweights
Fans may be more eager to see the hard hitting man from Kazahkstan via Germany, Gennady Golovkin (24-0, 21 KOs) in only his second U.S. appearance against Gabriel Rosado (21-5-0, 13 KOs), a no-nonsense, solid junior middleweight contender from Philadelphia. Golovkin, age 30, is now training in Big Bear, California. He'd like to make a big impression on American fans and work his way up into the big money bouts against the likes of Sergio Martinez or perhaps Julio Caesar Chavez Jr. following their expected rematch later this year. He's also called out Canelo Alvarez, and even Andre Ward at 168 pounds.
Golovkin was the 2004 Olympic silver medalist in his weight class and won two amateur world championships before entering the professional ranks. Golovkin's reportedly had 400 amateur fights. He is known for stupendous punching power, the sort of knockout artist North American fans love. Defensely he may be a bit suspect, but if you can knock the other guy down first, how much will it matter?
Rosado, age 27, started boxing professionally at age 18. He should get support by plenty of Philly fans in the Garden. It worked for Danny Garcia last October at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Rosado works out of the same gym as Garcia and Garcia's spectacular success may inspire and rub off on Rosado, which has a way of happening when fighters in your gym enjoy success.
Rosado's heard all the talk about Golovkin being unbeatable, but Rosado believes he's the toughest opponent Golovkin has faced as a professional. "It is our job to smash this dude. Is he good? Yeah, the dude's good. I'm not saying he's not. But to look past me and think that it's sweet? Like, nah," said Rosado.
Rosado is coming up in weight class to fight Golovkin after some confusion over staging the bout at a catch weight. Rosado, refused, saying he doesn't want to hear any excuses when he beats Golovkin. It's impressive talk if he can back it up.
Golovkin has a spectacular American debut in September, decking Grzegorz Proksa in impressive fashion for a fifth round TKO. It was his 11th straight win by knockout. It's a big jump from an upstate New York casino to Madison Square Garden, especially with boisterous fans cheering on your opponent. Let's see how Golovkin handles it.
Rocky Martinez vs. Juan Carlos Burgos, super featherweights
The third fight of the evening is a classic Puerto Rico vs. Mexico matchup: junior lightweight titleholder Rocky "Mini" Martinez (26-1-1, 16 KOs) of Puerto Rico against "King" Juan Carlos Burgos (30-1, 20 KOs) of Mexico. Martinez, age 29, is a crowd-pleasing WBO champion who brings the action. He received good exposure in his victory over Miguel Beltran on the undercard of the Martinez vs. Chavez Jr. card in September. The fans love him for it. Martinez says he's been training nonstop and is even better shape now.
Burgos, age 25, is making his second attempt to win a belt. His only career loss was to Hozumi Hasagawa in 2010 and he acquitted himself well. He puts on fights fans enjoy watching, and this is not to be discounted. Technical fighters may amass good records, but they don't get TV exposure and make the big money. Martinez and Burgos should provide a good start to a great evening of action.
HBO's World Tripleheader on Boxing After Dark airs on Saturday, January 19, at 9:45 p.m EST. Fight fans can join Ringside Seat for a live Communities chat on Saturday night, starting at 9:30 p.m. EST. We will provide round-by-round commentary, real time photos and invite your comments on all the action.

Gm Screwed Me On This One. — Miserable experience. Bumper was welded on crooked from the factory. Did not notice for a few weeks. Got screwed on the replacement deal. the specials I bought this with were no longer available. GM could not give a damn less. They suck. this vehicle sucked and I lost lots of money on this one fast. Nobody at GM cared much. I was even a GM family member. I think that made them care even less.

USS Idaho, a 3241-ton steam sloop, was built at New York as part of a Civil War program of large, very fast, steam cruisers. Completed in May 1866, she ran her trials the following August, making just over eight knots. Her boilers and engines, ordered as a result of political influence, failed totally to achieve her fifteen-knot contract speed.
Briefly laid up after trials, Idaho was converted to a sailing storeship in 1867 and sent to Japan as a base for the U.S. Navy ships operating in Asiatic waters. During that passage, she logged over eighteen knots, making her one of the fastest sailing ships ever built. In September 1869, while en route back to the United States, Idaho was badly damaged by a typhoon. She returned to Japan and remained at Yokohama until sold in April 1874.

Steve Backs is "cautiously optimistic'' about spring turkey hunting in Indiana. The wild turkey project leader projects a harvest of 12,000 birds, give or take a thousand.
Spring turkey hunting opens Wednesday. At public sites like LaSalle and Willow Slough Fish and Wildlife Areas, the standby draw is at 4:30 a.m. Indiana's youth turkey hunt is this weekend. Public sites have no standby for the youth hunt.
"But if we drop some this year I will not be surprised,'' Backs emailed. "We have below normal summer brood production since 2005 and the last several years we have seen some impacts on the age structure of our spring harvests. Generally, we see about 65 percent adults and 35 percent jakes (young males); but in 2011 we were down to 19 percent jakes; and in 2012 we were down to 14 percent jakes statewide.''
The good news is northern Indiana had better production in recent years than southern areas. Production was better last year, with the drought having no apparent impact.
The spring breeding season roadside gobbling counts (love the idea) are currently being conducted, so no figures are available.
Backs suspects the percentages of jakes could have an interesting impact on hunters.
"From a hunting standpoint, 2-year-old gobblers are the most vocal gobblers, older birds 3 to 3-plus tend to display/strut more; and jakes — it's just hard to tell what a jake might do — they don't usually gobble and they often show up unannounced,'' Backs emailed. "Given the trends in our production the last few years, the proportion of adult birds will likely be down, especially 2-year-olds, so gobbling activity could be diminished, and we'll likely see more jakes in the harvest.''
Staff at both LaSalle and Willow Slough reported hearing plenty of gobbling. LaSalle property manager Ken Bisacchi said participants in the jakes event last Saturday even spooked roosting turkeys at a parking lot.
Backs gave one of my favorite quotes on wildlife.
"Unfortunately, jakes are unpredictable in their behavior because they just are not really sure of their gender/purpose yet and they are usually submissive to more dominant adult gobblers,'' he emailed. "That being said, group numbers will trump single older bird dominance so a hunter could be working a single gobbler only to have a small band of jakes show up unannounced to blow the whole deal. It can be frustrating, but that is turkey hunting!''
Lakers: Indiana released nearly 100,000 yearling lake trout at Michigan City on April 5 and Monday. The lakers came from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Michigan DNR.
"The Michigan DNR fish came to us as a result of a shortage of Chinook salmon from our Mixsawbah hatchery and the cooperative management of the lake's stocking numbers has allowed this to occur,'' Lake Michigan fisheries biologist Brian Breidert emailed. "Careful management and communication within the Lake Michigan Committee has really shown how we all work together for the common goal of a successful fishery.''
Clubbing: Terry Paris and crew of "Team Minnow III'' and Capt. Ryan Koepke of "Ito Flies'' will speak at the Salmon Unlimited of Indiana meeting at 7:30 p.m. Monday at East Chicago Marina.
Ducks Unlimited: The Porter County banquet is April 27 at Old Towne Banquet Center in Valparaiso. Contact Mike Opat at (219) 898-8464; Lloyd Trumbo, (219) 771-7885; or Mark Matchett, (219) 286-2665.
Fishing: Beside crappie at lakes and ponds, the best thing is bluegill at Willow Slough, where the bass have been strong too. Otherwise, things are tough. Gales are forecast for Lake Michigan today. Rivers are high, the Kankakee is forecast for a significant flood.

In his career as a mod maestro of recombinant pop, Quentin Tarantino has resurrected, and redefined, a great many things -- John Travolta, of course, but also Robert Forster, '60s surf rock, and the low-down dirty kick of blaxploitation. Still, I hardly think I would have believed that in Kill Bill -- Vol. 1, his delirious splatter opera of cruelty and revenge, Tarantino could manage a similar feat of alchemy with Zamfir. That's right: the pan-flute guy. In ''Kill Bill,'' Zamfir pipes out ''The Lonely Shepherd,'' a quaver of a ballad that sounds like the most haunting spaghetti Western score Ennio Morricone never wrote. It expresses the sadness, the loss, beneath the heroine's violent quest -- all of the emotion, in fact, that's scarcely in the movie itself. Except that it IS in the movie: The music welds you to the images, to the decadent rapture of violence made lyrical. For a moment, I actually thought, Zamfir is God! You know the feeling: It's the Quentin chemical reaction.
In ''Kill Bill,'' Uma Thurman, wearing a sexy sneer of anger, smites her enemies without mercy or hesitation. In her flawless fury, she bites and stretches the lip of a rapist, goes knife-to-knife with Vivica A. Fox in a living-room brawl that looks like it might have come out of ''Foxy Brown 2000,'' and then, with gleaming samurai sword in hand, she slices and dices an endless army of yakuza, leaping and twirling as she plunges her weapon into torsos and lops off limbs, the blood spurting like Hawaiian Punch. So single-minded is she in her rage, her will to dominate and destroy, that you could say -- and you'd be right -- that there isn't much human dimension to ''Kill Bill.'' Yet that doesn't mean there's nothing at stake. The film may be bloody, but it's also bloody gorgeous: a grandly fetishized epic of cinematic aggression. It's a tale of vengeance that hinges on Tarantino's love of ferocity as spectacle -- his immersion in action and exploitation, his addiction to the jazzy catharsis of junk-film kicks.
Thurman is the Bride, who wakes up after a four-year coma with a metal plate in her head, her limbs atrophied, her soul hardened by the murder of everyone at her El Paso wedding, including her unborn baby -- a slaughter so evil that the movie, rather weirdly, makes no attempt to explain it. Who, exactly, is Bill (David Carradine), the honey-voiced cowboy mastermind of this appalling crime? (We never see his face.) And who are the members of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad, who helped carry out the deed? We do see them, yet their motive remains blank. That it may be revealed in ''Kill Bill -- Vol. 2,'' due in February, scarcely removes the feeling that Tarantino has made a revenge film as perversely abstract as a first-person-shooter videogame. Back in 1994, ''Pulp Fiction'' was a gangster fantasia with true danger because it dared to touch the third rail of life. ''Kill Bill'' is just a funky, hermetic pulp bash.
Yet what a wizard Tarantino is! He hooks us from the get-go, with Nancy Sinatra singing ''Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)'' over a silhouette of the Bride in her hospital bed, and every scene that follows pulls us deeper into the filmmaker's obsessiveness. When Daryl Hannah, as one of the Vipers, shows up with a deadly syringe, you wonder why she's whistling, until the screen splits in two and the entire sequence -- including that whistle -- balloons into a parody of ''Dressed to Kill''-era De Palma. Later, in Japan, Tarantino uses the theme from ''The Green Hornet,'' and he spotlights an insanely cheesy all-girl rock band, the 184.108.40.206's, to escalate the mood of Tokyo-a-go-go as the camera winds through the House of Blue Leaves right before it becomes an elaborate killing floor.
Each sequence in ''Kill Bill'' is like a detour that's more fun than the main road. After meeting the treacherous Viper O-Ren Ishii (Lucy Liu), we get her childhood story as a mesmerizing interlude of anime in which the gore erupts in geysers. By the time the Bride arrives in Okinawa to acquire a lethal blade from Hattori Hanzo (Sonny Chiba), the legendary swordsmith, her quest has become a crusade. ''I need Japanese steel,'' says Thurman, in her most dramatic line reading, and Chiba, the Japanese B-movie veteran, fashions that steel for her in what feels like an act of consummation.
As O-Ren, Lucy Liu, speaking in the soft tones of an ironically polite dominatrix, has a drop-dead elegance, and she does some slicing and dicing of her own. When she and the Bride face off, there's no girl-versus-girl cuteness: They're warriors, pure and simple, and hypnotic ones. ''Kill Bill'' may have little on its mind besides pop extravagance, yet you can feel the movie tracing a transition in the world -- from West to East, from male to female rule. That's Quentin chemistry too.More Action/Adventure Movies

Social Science
EPSCoR social science research in Phase III centered on Alaska's rural communities and their responses to climatic and social change, with a focus on food systems, cultural institutions and social networks. Urban social-ecological systems have also been the subject of research, as have trends in urban migration and "climigrants" displaced by climate change.
This research focus has spurred projects in a number of fields. One highlight was the work of UAF graduate student Robin Bronen, who focused on building a human-rights framework for climate refugees, based around the relocation of the Bering Sea coast village of Newtok. Another accomplishment was the drafting of the "Regional Energy Plan for Interior Alaska" by EPSCoR graduate students Jill Maynard and Becky Warren. The plan is a comprehensive 58-page statement of the energy needs and goals of 42 Native villages scattered through Alaska's Interior. Another social science-supported project that garnered attention was UAF graduate student Jordan Lewis' thesis analyzing how Alaska Native elders define successful aging.
The focus of Phase III's social science capacity-building was its three faculty hires, one each at UAS, UAA and UAF. Erica Hill was hired as an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at UAS in 2007. She was followed in 2009 by Shannon Donovan, hired as Assistant Professor in the Geography and Environmental Studies Department at UAA, and by Chanda Meek (a former EPSCoR graduate fellow), hired as an Assistant Professor with UAF's Political Science Department. Hill has focused on zooarcheology. Donovan has developed projects related to public values and environmental issues, and undertaken an interdisciplinary study of predator management in Alaska. Meek has been active in developing both a research program on international polar bear conservation, and an institutional analysis of mechanisms for stakeholder engagement in Alaskan North Slope oil and gas regulations.
The social science component was augmented in 2010-12 through the addition of the "Mobilities" theme, which includes all forms of movement across Alaska and the north, including the flows of agents such as humans, goods, animals, pathogens, and ideas.

Check out the spooks! For so long Peter wanted to be Harry Potter for Halloween and I thought that was a great idea - very easy and, hey, he could pull it off with his shaggy brown hair and charm. But no, he traded that idea in for something much creepier. Oh well, what can you do? He loved freaking people out and had so much fun.
The teeny tiny bat really stole the show last night and I actually DID make that costume...4 years ago. So at least one person got to wear a handmade costume this year. I have been itching to sew lately so maybe I should just go ahead and get started on costumes for next year and they might just be done in time.

I think it's a hoot that he enjoyed freaking people out -- part of the fun of Halloween is being someone that isn't normally you!

Hi, this has nothing to do with this story but I need to say this… I have been watching diners divers and drive ins for a few weeks now and I do enjoy it but please please please where do us guys that have latex allergies go to eat… Most of the places if not all of them use latex gloves…. Latex is just as halmful as nut lactose, fish intollarence, but no one has done anything about protecting latex allergies…. I had never thought about it before now but when I have been out sometime I feel so sick after eating and maybe this is why….. Please can someone do,something about this there are other type of gloves they can use which are safe if they don't want to use them they should put up signs telling us if they are a latex free zone or not so that we can make an informed decision on if we want to eat there or not, after all nut products have to be labeled ….. Thanks Kaye
I don't know about all but a lot of the food prep gloves are not latex. Perhaps you are sensitive to some other ingredient?
Oops, pressed wrong key, sent before finished!!! I am a nurse that developed latex sensivity after years of using latex gloves and have not had any problems in restaurants. You can request your meals be prepared latex free. If the restaurant is not accommodating, go else ware.
Hey Guy! I'm sooo glad they found your car! I hope it's in goo condition.
How do you E-mail Guy to come to a diner in my area….
Love Guy, love the show but sure am sick of it being on like 12 times a day and all through prime time. They're all pretty much reruns shown over and over and over………

Dr.J: Why Volatility Matters
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- optionMONSTER's Jon Najarian spoke at TheStreetMonster conference on Saturday, touching on volatility and why it matters to the individual investor.
Najarian talked about trading strategies relating to volatility, giving an example of an Apple (AAPL) straddle with different volatility levels. "Volatility is an important indicator in the market, not only for the market itself, but how much that option will move," Najarian said, during the presentation.
Traders need to ride the wave of volatility, Najarian said, not fight against it. Volatility has proven over time that trading options is not a losers' game, averaging an annualized return of 9.8% on buy-write calls over the past 20 years, Najarian said, compared to a return of around 7% on the S&P 500.
Najarian also talked about tradeMONSTER, his brokerage firm, and said there are different types of spreads on the platform, including covered calls, vertical spreads, and several others.Najarian stressed that traders should not marry a stock, but rather trade the market you have, not the one you want. Covered write calls are one way to increase the size of your account, allowing for additional upside, but not paying additional margin. If a trader owned 1,000 shares of Apple, and owned the June $455 calls against double short June $465 calls, and the stock went to $465 by the end of June expiration, the trader could earn $24,100 on the trade, as opposed to just earning $12,000 from owning the common stock. -- Written by Chris Ciaccia in New York >Contact by Email.

Set in stone - work begins in earnest at Field of Honor
More than 100 tons of cut granite from a Mount Airy can make quite a statement.
In this case, the statement honors men and women who have served and defended the country through service in the military.
On Wednesday, crews began building the 67-foot high obelisk at the Carolina Field of Honor, which is scheduled to open in late May at Triad Park on E. Mountain Street at the Guilford-Forsyth county line.
Six mammoth pieces of granite were delivered to the site for the assembly of the obelisk, which will be a centerpiece of the Carolina Field of Honor. Crews will use a crane to erect the obelisk, which consists of 120 tons of granite, said Project Superintendent Daniel M. Hood.
Planning for the Carolina Field of Honor dates back four years when veterans in the Triad decided to set up an area where events could be held to honor those who served their country.
Advocates for the Carolina Field of Honor have raised money privately and from public sources for the project. A key hurdle was cleared last month when the Guilford County Board of Commissioners agreed to provide $250,000, which will allow the Carolina Field of Honor to open by Memorial Day weekend.
Democratic Commissioner Bruce Davis of High Point, an organizer of the Carolina Field of Honor project, sponsored the resolution for the funding. The cities of High Point, Greensboro and Winston-Salem jointly gave $25,000, while the city of Kernersville provided $10,000.

This book introduces young children to the basic ideas of comparing and ordering lengths, weights, time, and capacities. Engaging hands-on activities develop these ideas, along with the concept of units of measure and the use of measurement tools. The investigations follow children's natural progression from using many copies of a unit to iterating the unit to using a tool that iterates the unit. The supplemental CD-ROM features interactive electronic activities, master copies of activity pages for students, and additional readings for teachers.

A crown is the traditional symbolic form of headgear worn by a monarch or by a deity, for whom the crown traditionally represents power, legitimacy, victory, triumph, honour, and glory, as well as immortality, righteousness, and resurrection. In art, the crown may be shown being offered to those on Earth by angels. Apart from the traditional form, crowns also may be in the form of a wreath and be made of flowers, oak leaves or thorns and be worn by others, representing what the coronation part aims to symbolize with the specific crown. In religious art, a crown of stars is used similarly to a halo. Crowns worn by rulers often contain jewels.

The following is NSFW and contains a trigger warning for rape and injury. I speak forensically and medically and the information may not be suitable for children or for life in general.
Lamia was five. On the 25th of December 2011 she was brought to a hospital. A day we consider as Christmas.
She was diagnosed with skull fractures, spinal fractures, broken ribs and a greenstick fracture to the left arm. She was covered in bruises.
She was also raped. Now medically speaking children under the age of 12 are not physically large enough to handle sexual intercourse with a human penis. This will usually cause major trauma. Her medical report states that she was raped per oral, rectal and vaginal.
She was then burned. The rapist tried to cauterise her rectum shut. She survived, but not for long. She died on October the 22nd, 2012. After eleven months of torment.
What of her assailant? Well he was pardoned. Because he was her father and he was in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Sharia law states that he is pardoned because it is not murder, being the source of his daughter's life he cannot be held responsible for taking it away. (It also applies to wives)
The father is a good god fearing man. A preacher no less! Often appearing on Saudi Arabian TV. He initially blamed te medic for these injuries. I can categorically say that there is no procedure that involves being burned with an iron rod and heat cautery is normally done with electrical implements rather than heated rods. And are not advised for the repair of muscle tissue or epithelium.
Sharia law is the millstone against progress. It is the Rock of Sisyphus constantly destroying any and all progress that muslims may make. It is pure poison. It is anathema to humanity.
This crime may have occurred in another country without Sharia law. The law won't stop idiots from being idiots. The law won't stop monsters from being monsters either. The law however punishes and shapes what is acceptable behaviour. In a sane country, Fayham al Ghamdi would have been jailed for a very very long time. In Saudi Arabia where the death penalty is levied by accusation, where murder is treated like a witch burning rather than the process of the law, this man was hit with the strongest sanction of the Sharia Code with regards to his "crime".
He was fined.
The world ill needs such barbarism. Islam must throw off the chains of Sharia before it can progress. Otherwise the moderates and progressive muslims will become fewer and fewer while the numbers of the blind fanatics increase till all we are left with is a cult of obedience to laws that are blatantly harmful. It is bad enough to believe in a religion where there are whips and chains in your mind without having to build real whips and chains to accompany them.

Not Yours to Give
ht/ todak – posted as a comment on the article (Christie Craving Pork) about Christie whinning that the House didn't vote on the pork-filled bill to give him money because of Hurricane Sandy.
Speech before the House of Representatives by David (Davy) Crockett
One day in the House of Representatives, a bill was taken up appropriating money for the benefit of a widow of a distinguished naval officer. Several beautiful speeches had been made in its support. The Speaker was just about to put the question when Mr. Crockett arose:
"Mr. Speaker — I have as much respect for the memory of the deceased, and as much sympathy for the suffering of the living, if suffering there be, as any man in this house, but we must not permit our respect for the dead or our sympathy for a part of the living to lead us into an act of injustice to the balance of the living. I will not go into an argument to prove that Congress has no power to appropriate this money as an act of charity. Every member upon this floor knows it. We have the right, as individuals, to give away as much of our own money as we please in charity; but as members of Congress we have no right so to appropriate a dollar of the public money. Some eloquent appeals have been made to us upon the ground that it is a debt due the deceased. Mr. Speaker, the deceased lived long after the close of the war; he was in office to the day of his death, and I have never heard that the government was in arrears to him.
"Every man in this House knows it is not a debt. We cannot, without the grossest corruption, appropriate this money as the payment of a debt. We have not the semblance of authority to appropriate it as a charity. Mr. Speaker, I have said we have the right to give as much money of our own as we please. I am the poorest man on this floor. I cannot vote for this bill, but I will give one week's pay to the object, and, if every member of Congress will do the same, it will amount to more than the bill asks.
"He took his seat. Nobody replied. The bill was put upon its passage, and, instead of passing unanimously, as was generally supposed, and as, no doubt, it would, but for that speech, it received but few votes, and of course, was lost.
"Later, when asked by a friend why he had opposed the appropriation, Crockett gave this explanation:
» 14 Comments
That was interesting, I am glad you posted it.+6
The problem is that the Constitution has no prohibition against charity or transfers of wealth. It relies solely on the integrity of congress to know right from wrong on constitutional issues.
And since almost no one from congress today has any integrity, you can see why we're in the financial distress we find ourselves.+9
Brilliant. Thanks for posting.
I hope everybody reads the whole thing.+8
Yes, thanks for posting that Claudia. I told my wife of that speech this AM, as I read the great IBD article re Christie's shameless tantrum.+6
Great article. Per Wikipedia (that liberal bastion!) the speech was first published in 1884, nearly 50 years after Crockett's death at the Alamo. Its authenticity is questioned, and speeches such as this were not documented at the time so no way to prove it. Regardless, the points are very well made. I say over and over again how easy it is to add a project to a bill, knowing the cost will be spread across 100 million or so taxpayers. But they always ignore the fact that every project funded at the national level is one that the locals refused to fund because it wasn't worth the cost to them – until someone else paid for it. When you multiply by projects for all 300 million Americans we are screwed.+8
Apparently, Christie became a carrier of the antisocial disease that infests the irresponsible POS-TUS since those two spent time together.
The feisty Christie now resembles the fiscally responsible Rep Gov of NJ in corpulence only. He didn't take long to turn to mush, did he.+5
Krispy Kreme is just a micoscopically right of center RINO; always has and always will be.+5
Great post! Never read the story behind that speech before.+7
Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier.
That speech and others like it cost him the next election, though.
That was amazing! Thanks for posting that.+3
It's too bad that evolution has rid the congressional body of its shame gland.+3
Great post Claudia. I never saw that before. I have sent it on encouraging my group of libs, rinos, and whatnots to google the speech. Many of them will not be bothered. Lazy bastids.
Anyone have a link to the speech?I would really appreciate it. It is a magnificant lesson: Not yours to Give.+2
Norman, old buddy? Any chance?0
I bought this book for my kids when they were growing up. Davy Crockett, His Own Story was republished by Applewood Books of Bedford, Ma. in 1993. The call number for this book is F436.C95A3 and the ISBN# is 1-55709-218-4 if anyone is interested.+1

LAUSD Teacher Retires… at Age 94
LA-based AP education reporter Christina Hoag has an A+ human-interest story making the rounds today. The piece is all about Rose Gilbert, a westside LAUSD teacher who retired February 22 just shy of her 95th birthday.
From Hoag's item:
It's unclear if Gilbert is the oldest full-time classroom teacher among the nation's teaching corps of more than three million, but she certainly ranks among the most senior. She started teaching in the 1940s, took a break and then returned to the classroom in 1956.
