Maybe it's because I'm divorcing my DH, but I have been thinking about an old BF of mine alot lately. I'm completely okay with the divorce. DH & I were married just short of a year when we decided to split. We did try marriage counseling, but frankly we never should've married in the first place. Ever since DH & I split up, I've had dreams about BF and haven't been able to keep him out of my mind. (The dreams could be about anything and BF just 'shows up' in them.) BF & I began dating when I was a Sr in high school and were together on-and-off for over 10 years. He was my first love, my first "you-know-what" and my first serious BF. I'm VERY tempted to call him, but haven't so far. It's been about 4-5 years since I saw him last. He could be married, have a girlfriend, have kids, etc. for all I know. Should I pursue this or should I chalk it up to longing for nostalgia/being on the 'rebound' and just enjoy the memories? |
Follow-Up Postings:
You know they always seem better when you don't have them. I have day dreams about those old BF's as well but no perfectly well that I REALLY don't want them.But Hey it's fun and isn't hurting anyone. The good ones always get away it seems. Time dims their faults. LOL |

I would get in touch and be ready to back off if he is married or involved or just not interested. If you are feeling fragile after your recent breakup then you might be really hurt if getting back in touch is not all you hoped for. If it was a healthy relationship and you feel strong enough to risk rejection, why not? My most serious ex I talk to every few years. It is fun to catch up, but I always hang up glad that I moved on. jc |

When I was 16, I dated a guy of 28. My mother freaked out, but he had a quiet word with her and she accepted the situation - I was a very innocent and naive, and he was prepared to wait until I'd dated other guys and grown up a little, for however long it took. He never took advantage of my innocence in any way. I did not know about that conversation with my mother until she told me about it 30-odd years later. At 17 I left home to live far away, met another guy and announced our engagement. Brought my fiance home, and even invited the older guy to meet him (I cringe to think about that!). Poor guy broke down, begged me not to go ahead with the marriage. My mother went into a spin. I married the second guy, what a disaster it was! The older guy went into mourning, ended up moving overseas, but came back after a few years and still visited my mother, to find out about me. I knew nothing of this for many years. He never married. I never forgave my mother for not telling me this guy's true feelings for me. If I could find him now, and assuming he still wanted me, I'd marry him without hesitation. If I knew where to start, I'd look for him right now. I think we all have 'the one we should have married' somewhere in our lives, and a lot of regret for making the wrong choice. |
In general, I think I would. You never know how it might work out now that the circumstances are different. But, in your particular case, Toni, why don't you wait a while? Anything you do right now will strongly influenced by your reaction to the divorce. And that's not really fair to the ex. Give yourself a year or so to get rid of any emotional "baggage". Teri |

I've done it, and the problem is, if there is a reason you split up (lots of fighting, personality differences, anger problems, etc.) then those problems are still there. You romanticize that person and miss the good things, and over time, you forget all the bad things. This is dangerous, I think. Friendship (distant) is possible but not getting back together in a love relationship. - darkeyedgirl |
I met my first "love" twenty years later for dinner. I was blown away at how immature he was; I couldn't believe that he had not moved forward....he was just as I left him. Selfish, out for one thing only, "me, me, me"...... I was so happy that I actually allowed myself to meet him for dinner....I would have never known how very lucky I was for not marrying him!! |

I only had one ex that I dated for a long period of time. He was a very nice guy and treated me like a queen, but when I met my husband to be, I was sooooooo happy that I didn't marry the other guy. I never did know what passionate love was until I met my husband. I know someone very well who dated his ex thinking that that he would feel young again to live in the past, and also for pure curiosity, and after a short while, his memories were jogged and he remembered why their relationship didn't work out the first time. Duhhhhhhhh. The woman was dumped for a second time, and it wasn't a nice situation for her. The guy was married, and she kept hoping and thinking that he would leave his wife. Wrong! He never ever intended to, not even in the beginning. More hurt for her. Basically, she was used. Lu |
Chances are he won't be the way you remmeber him. I think about my high school boyfriend and sometimes wonder what he's up to, if he's still married, etc. I haven't seen him in almost 20 years, and I think I'll keep it that way. But, you never know really what's going to happen. Rather than calling him out of the blue, you might want to do some detective work and see if he's available or not. I actually did that with my elementary school boyfriend before my 20 year HS reunion. He was married, of course. All the good ones are! |
- Posted by Lulie___Wayne (My Page) on Sat, May 3, 03 at 13:10
Yes, I definitely think that you should do some checking first to see if he is married or what. I'm sorry that I didn't answer that question earlier. I doubt too, if he is the same person. It doesn't take people long to change and like they say, "you can't go home again". It's just not the same. Lu |

In the past few months, we have had quite a few social engineering and client-side penetration tests, and, as you have probably noticed from my previous posts, these are the types of tests I enjoy doing, a lot.
Let me start this blog post briefly describing our usual approach and results for one of the baiting attack exercises we have performed. In this particular case, we have used traditional and old school techniques that still work.
Baiting attacks could be very similar to phishing attacks, however, instead of using email as the delivery method of the attack we use different ways of physical media which relies on the curiosity or sometimes even greed of the victims.
After gathering a list of full names, working address and position for all of the associates of an organization, Trustwave SpiderLabs carefully analyzed this list and decided to target a certain number of employees per location.
After having decided on the targets, the next step was to choose which attack method we were going to be using for that specific case. Trustwave SpiderLabs decided on trying to impersonate users (most of them part of sales team) with a custom message requesting users to update their local Anti-Virus software. Yes, we know, its really old school, but you would be surprised on how effective this is.
The physical medias have been delivered by postal service to each one of the targets along with a letter with details about the (fake) antivirus update and instructions on how to install either the CD-ROM or USB pen-drive that was also included in the packages.
Below is one of the templates used for these types of attacks, the real letters had real names of the targets, and replaced thumbdrive with CD-ROM accordingly.
Dear $Employee-First-Name:
During a recent internal security analysis, we have identified that your computer is running an outdated version of our Anti-virus software because of the recent issues in the network of your $Physical-Location.
As you understand, this creates a potential hazard to the safety of the company, and we need your cooperation to provide an immediate solution.
This package you received includes a USB thumbdrive containing the Anti-virus update that will fix the root cause of the problem. Please, connect the USB pen-drive to your computer and run the following instructions to install the update:
1. Double click on the icon "My Computer".
2. Double click on the removable disk icon that corresponds to the USB pen-drive.
3. Double click on the file "Anti-Virus Update"If the update was performed correctly, you will see the following message: "Anti-virus updated successfully". Once you follow these instructions, your Anti-virus will be updated and actively protecting your computer against future threats.
We appreciate your help to protect assets, employees and customers of $Company-Target-Name.
Information Security Team
For these types of engagements we usually use from normal USB thumbdrives, to U3 thumbdrives and sometimes even CD-ROMs – all of them customized with an Anti-Virus logo and with an "autorun" application. We usually also need to use a customized payload that was a light version of the one described in a previous post of this blog:
Client-side Payload - The Brazilian Way.
At the end of this one particular exercise, from the 15 packages sent, 1 of them has actually resulted in a compromised. The interesting part though is that the user that has been compromised, not only was one of the original targets but neither worked at the target location.
At another baiting exercise we decided to target two additional locations. The Trustwave consultants, while walking by one of the buildings, threw 2 USB thumbdrives on the parking lot. Both of these drives had a customized logo that, on purpose, would be of much interest for any associate of that particular organization. This would also increase the chances of a curious associate to simply plug that drive in their computer.
On the second building, we decided to throw 1 USB drive on the garage, and a second drive has been silent dropped on the sidewalk in front of the building, the third one in the reception. All these 3 USB drives also had a custom logo on it.
The outcome of the exercise was: One of the two USB thumbdrives thrown at "Building1" was opened a few days later by a person, that happened not to be an associate of that organization, but was later identified as one of the organization's executives private driver. Hence, this drive was opened from the driver's computer and not one of the computers that actually belonged to the organization.
The screenshot below shows the driver's face when he opened the fake confidential USB drive. Does anyone disagree that he was quite curious?
One of the three USB pen-drives thrown at the second building was opened 2 hours later by a person, which has been identified later by their username, as one of the physical security staff. Although this particular person did not have many privileges in the organizations computers,Trustwave SpiderLabs was able to see the software used to manage all physical security control (badges, main entrances, cameras, etc).
It is also important to note that the Trustwave SpiderLabs was able to escalate privileges to local administrator by using a technique called "Named Pipe Impersonation". With that, we were able to retrieve the WPA pre-shared key stored on the Windows registry and consequently join the wireless network that allowed full access to many systems. This same WPA pre-shared key was really strong and very unlikely could be guessed via brute-force or dictionary attacks.
This attack was very simple and used old school techniques, however it's still very effective as demonstrated above. At this point of compromise a real attacker could then be very dangerous and be able to compromise the internal network, just like one would do if present within the organization. Is your company prepared for this kind of attack?
Editors Note: The photo of the "victim" here is not a photo of the actual client. This same attack was done against the authors step-father and is being show with permission and for illustration and entertainment purposes only.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best major for Medical School?
Medical Schools do not require a particular major although they have science requirements such as Biology, Chemistry and Physics. According to Dr. Case, chair of the admissions committee at the University of Mississippi Medical School, there is no advantage for one major over another as far as being admitted into medical school. Admission committees are typically indifferent as to an applicant's major. At UMC Biology is the most popular major among medical students. Some students have degrees in Chemistry or Physics. Other students majored in non-science disciplines. The vast majority of medical school students major in a science area, e.g., Biology, Chemistry, Physics, for the practical reason that by the time they have met the science requirement for medical school they have satisfied a large portion of required course work for a science major. The best strategy is to major in a subject matter that you enjoy but be mindful that you need a solid science background before entering medical school. Many students chose to take advantage of the unique curriculum at MC, offering an array of medical school level courses such as Gross Anatomy, Physiology etc. For those students, the Biology premedical degree track has the greatest emphasis on the type of courses that are seen in medical or dental school.
What undergraduate courses are required by Medical Schools?
Each Medical School has their own requirement and that may vary from school to school. Check the requirements of the Medical School that you are interested in. The University of Mississippi Medical School requires 6 semester hours in each of the following disciplines: English, Mathematics, Biology, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physics and 6 additional semester hours in upper level science/mathematics courses, e.g., Biology, Chemistry, Physics or Mathematics.
What kind of GPA and MCAT score do I need to have to get into Medical School?
Average GPA's and MCAT scores vary among Medical Schools. Most of this information from Medical Schools around the country can be found in the AAMC publication Medical School Admission Requirements. You can order this book through the AAMC web site: http://www.aamc.org. At the University of Mississippi Medical School the average MCAT score for the 2000-01 freshman class was 28. Admission committees prefer consistency across the Verbal, Physical Sciences and Biological Science. In other words, they would rather see 9's in each category than two 11's and a 6. The average undergraduate science/math GPA for the 2000-01 freshman class was 3.6. The admissions committee looks very closely at the number of difficult science courses that you took and your hour load per semester. They are most interested in how you did with difficult upper level science courses taken in the same semester. A GPA of 3.6 with heavy semester loads and difficult science courses is viewed much more impressively than a GPA of 3.9 with light semester loads and easy courses. Taking easy courses to nurse a high GPA is a mistake.
What is AMCAS?
AMCAS is a centralized application processing service developed to facilitate and standardize the process of applying to Medical Schools. When you apply to Medical School, you must do it through AMCAS. Your MCAT scores, college transcripts, essays and letters of recommendation will be sent to AMCAS. AMCAS will send all your application material to the Medical Schools you have specified. Spring semester of your junior year you will need to fill out a AMCAS application form.
For additional information, you may contact AMCAS at:
American Medical College Application Service
2501 M Street, NW
Washington, DC 20037-1300
(202) 828-0600
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
You can also find more information at the AMCAS website.
When is the deadline for applying to Medical School?
AMCAS reviews applications received between June 1 and November 1 for consideration for medical school acceptance for the following fall. Upon receiving student information from AMCAS, the school(s) will request additional information from the student directly. Deadlines for that information varies among schools. The University of Mississippi Medical School requires that all additionally requested material (which includes letters of recommendation) must be received by January 15. Do not wait until the last minute to request letters of recommendation. If a letter of recommendation is missing by the deadline, your application will not be processed and you will not be eligible for medical school admission for the ensuing fall term.
What is the early decision plan and when is the deadline?
The early decision plan (EDP) should be considered by applicants with high MCAT scores and GPA's. You may apply to only one medical school and acceptance by that medical school precludes entry into any other medical school. You will be notified by October 1 on whether you have been granted admission into that medical school. To be eligible for EDP, AMCAS must receive you application by August 1. The University of Mississippi Medical School requires that all additionally requested material (which includes letters of recommendation) must be received by September 15. Dr. Case, the director of admissions at UMC, says that students who apply for early decision who are not strong applicants, will not only be denied, but will reduce their chances of getting in during regular interview period, i.e., post October 1.
How do I get letters of recommendation for medical school?
Go to Hederman Science, Room 104 and see Mrs. Graves or Caldwell. She will give you a form to fill out. On that form you will indicate which professors you want to write letters for you. Those letters will be sent to AMCAS. Please note: It is very important for the student to develop a relationship with his/her professor. Students need to extend themselves to allow their professors to get to know them. Having a professor for a couple of classes is NOT enough. If all a professor can write on a recommendation is he/she did well in my class and is a nice person, then according to Dr. Case, director of admissions at UMC, that would be considered a bad letter of recommendation. He says: "A student who has a professor write a letter of recommendation, and that professor does not know the student beyond just class attendance, shows bad judgment on the student's part and will be viewed negatively by the admissions committee."
What can I expect in my Medical School interview?
There is an excellent website on Medical School interviews. Check it out: http://www.interviewfeedback.com/
What kind of courses will I be taking in Medical School?
Medical School has two parts. The first two years you take science courses. At the end of your second year you will take a national board exam, the United States Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE) Step 1. The board exam covers the science courses you had in your first two years of Medical School. You must pass this exam before you are allowed to start your third year. During your third and fourth years of Medical School you rotate through various Clinical specialties such as Family Practice, Surgery, Ob/Gyn, as well as others. During your fourth year you will take the USMLE Step 2 exam, which covers your clinical training. Graduation from Medical School is contingent upon passing the USMLE Step 2 board. After graduating from Medical School and receiving an MD degree, your are still not licensed to practice medicine. Post-MD students are required to enroll in a one year intern program. At the end of that year, the student will take the USMLE Step 3 exam. Upon the successful completion of the intern residency and passing the Step 3 board, a medical license is granted. From that point the licensed MD will start his/her chosen residency specialization, e.g., family practice, surgery, etc.
At the University of Mississippi Medical School you will take the following courses:
First year:
- Gross Anatomy
- Histology
- Neurobiology
- Biochemistry
- Physiology
- Psychiatry
- Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
Second year:
- Genetics
- Microbiology/Immunology/Immunology
- Pathology
- Pharmacology
- Preventive Medicine and Public Health
- Biostatistics
- Psychiatry
- Introduction to Clinical Medicine.
Third year: (Clinical Rotations)
- Family Medicine
- Medicine/Neurology
- Obstetrics and Gynecology
- Pediatrics
- Psychiatry
- Surgery
Fourth year: Students do clinical rotations of their choosing
What is the MCAT and what subject mater does it cover?
The MCAT is the Medical College Admissions Test. Almost all Medical Schools require it. It is a four part exam, Verbal Reasoning, Physical Science (Physics and Inorganic Chemistry), Biological Science (Biology and Organic Chemistry), and Essay Writing. It is 5 hours and 45 minutes in length and is given twice a year, April and August. Before you sit for the MCAT you should have taken at least two semesters each of Biology, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Physics. Some advanced courses in these areas may be beneficial before taking the MCAT. Students are encouraged to take a look at the subject matter outline in the MCAT Student Manual, Outline of Biological Sciences and Outline of Physical Sciences. You should be looking at this manual your sophomore year to help you in selecting your courses.
How can I get information and the registration form for the MCAT?
For the MCAT information packet and registration form write to:
MCAT Registration
MCAT Program Office
P. O. Box 4056
Iowa City, IA 52243
(319) 337-1357
For more information check out the MCAT web page on the Association of American Medical Colleges website.
When is the MCAT given and when is the deadline for registration?
The MCAT is given many time during the year. Check the AAMC MCAT website for specific dates as well as other information. Registration fee is $100. Test result are usually mailed approximately 30 days after the test date.
When should I take the MCAT?
You should not take the MCAT until you have completed the basic science requirements, e.g., 2 semesters of Biology, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Physics. Most students take the MCAT the spring semester of their junior year. Usually premed students are completing the second semester of Physics their junior year. Other advanced science courses may be beneficial for the MCAT.
Where can I get practice MCAT exams?
For the Student MCAT Manual and MCAT Practice Tests write to:
Department 66
Washington, DC 20055
Telephone: (202) 828-0416
How many times can I take the MCAT?
You can take it 3 times without any special provisions. You will have to obtain special permission from the MCAT registration to take it a fourth time. The admissions committee does not penalize you for taking the MCAT multiple times. They will consider your best score on any given exam. They do not combine scores from the various sections of different exams.
What non-academic things do I need to do that would help my Medical School application?
It is very important that you get experience in a clinical setting. This can be accomplished by doing volunteer work at a hospital or getting a job at your local emergency room. Spend time with a physician in your area and see what it's like to be a physician. Admission committees want to see whether you have made the effort to learn about the medical field. If you go to your Medical school interview with no clinical experience, the committee may very well ask you "How do you know that you want to be a doctor when you don't know what it's like to be one? You've never spent time with one." Medical school admission committees like to see applicants that are well rounded educationally and socially. Make an effort to get involved with campus life and non-academic activities. Do more than just join a bunch of organizations. You need to take on the mantle of responsibility and leadership. The committees need to see evidence of a person with good interpersonal skills, someone who works well with people and can function in leadership roles.
What is the difference in an MD and a DO?
A doctor of Osteopathic medicine (DO) has all of the rights and privileges as a doctor of Allopathic medicine (MD). There are 19 accredited schools of Osteopathic medicine in the United States. Osteopathic medical school curricula are very similar to curricula found at Allopathic medical schools. The first two years are science courses, e.g., gross anatomy, histology, neuroscience, medicine, pathology, etc. The third and fourth years are clinical rotations in a hospital, e.g., family practice, Ob/Gyn, surgery, etc. Upon graduation you will enter a residency program at a Medical university, the same residency programs that MD's participate in. For example, a family practice residency at a Medical university may have a mix of MD's and DO's in it. DO's can do a residency program in any of the specialties, e.g., pediatrics, family practice, surgery, Ob/Gyn, etc. Osteopathic medical schools require that applicants take the MCAT. For additional information on specific requirements, contact the Osteopathic schools that you are interested in.
You can find more information by visiting the following homepages:
- American Osteopathic Association
- What is a DO?
- What is Osteopathic Medicine?
- Mississippi Osteopathic Medical Association
- Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine
- American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM)
How many years do I have to train from the time I begin Medical School until I start my own practice?
Medical school is 4 years. Upon completion of Medical school you will do a residency. The first year of that residency is your intern year. At the end of that year you become a licensed physician. The number of additional years training depends upon which area you want to go into. Family practice residencies are typically 2 years after your intern year. Neurosurgery residencies are usually 6 years after your intern year. Other specialties have a time line some where between 2 and 6 years. So from the time you begin Medical school to the time you start your practice can be from 7 to 11 years of training, depending on your specialization.
What kind of salary will I make as a physician?
Physicians have among the highest earnings of any occupation. According to the American Medical Association, median income, after expenses, for allopathic physicians was about $160,000 in 1995. The middle 50 percent earned between $115,000 and $238,000. Self-employed physicians, those who own or are part owners of their medical practice, had higher median incomes than salaried physicians. Earnings vary according to number of years in practice; geographic region; hours worked; and skill, personality, and professional reputation. As shown below, median income of allopathic physicians, after expenses, also varies by specialty.
Average salaries of medical residents ranged from $32,789 in 1996-97 for those in their first year of residency to $40,849 for those in their sixth year, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges.
Median net income of M.D.'s after expenses as of 1995
All physicians | $160,000 |
Radiology | 230,000 |
Surgery | 225,000 |
Anesthesiology | 203,000 |
Obstetrics/Gynecology | 200,000 |

It is generally an honor to an exceptional life or significant contributions that an individual will earn an entry in an encyclopedia or reference work. Few earn enough respect to have a whole encyclopedia devoted to them. C. S. Lewis (1898- 1963), however, is certainly worthy of such an endeavor, his written works in the areas of literary criticism, fiction, theology, and ethics constitute one of the most diverse and penetrating bodies of work of the twentieth century.
This work is eminently readable and the format is clear. There is an excellent "Brief Biography" (9-65) written by John Bremer. The appendices include additional resources on Lewis, a timeline of his life, a listing of his article titles and a listing of the contributors. The articles themselves cover everything about Lewis, including his works, associates, friends, and thoughts on various literary, theological, and ethical issues. The volumes are well illustrated and there are several useful charts. Among those is a chart listing his famous radio addresses on "Mere Christianity" on the BBC during World War II.
Interest in Lewis, although always at a high level, has been seemingly reenergized in recent years. His most popular works, The Chronicles of Narnia (1948- 54), The Screwtape Letters (1941), Mere Christianity (1941), Miracles (1947), among others, have remained in print since their original publications. The recent success of the Harry Potter book series and movie as well as the beginning of the theatrical release of J. R. R. Tolkein's Lord of the Rings Trilogy, has brought renewed interest in Lewis. Those who are working through the issues regarding the place of such fiction in the Christian life will be well served by referencing this work and Lewis' thoughts on these matters.
Perhaps the most important article to read in this work is that on "Theology." Here Lewis is aptly described by the author:
C. S. Lewis was not a professional theologian, nor was he a 'lay theologian' as some have claimed. He wrote no books of theology nor has he left us a system of theological thought. His religious works such as The Problem of Pain, Miracles, and Mere Christianity were intended to evangelize and to instruct in the basics of the common faith (orthodoxy) held by all Christians (399).
Lewis is almost impossible to classify theologically. His beliefs on matters such as eternal punishment, purgatory, inspiration, and even the singularity of Christ and the gospel in terms of saving faith were certainly not conservative. His theological conclusions were driven more by Platonic philosophy and the church fathers than by an examination of the text. He remains popular in conservative circles mainly on the strength of two works, Mere Christianity and Miracles. However, Lewis is also a popular source of quotable material for universalists and proponents of Openness Theology.
For those who are interested in Lewis, this work serves as a great introduction to his writing and thoughts. The biography alone is worth the price of the work. This volume is highly recommended.

I'd argue that a reasonable person would assume that an item intended for use by untrained consumers in an uncontrolled environment would *not* get dangerously hot on parts which could be easily touched or used as handling fixtures.

Jennifer Lawrence leaked the little story about a sequel to "The Hunger Games" is titled "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire". Jennifer said the film will be much different than the first.
The latest film will be very real, says Jennifer. I'm very excited about this.
In addition the 21-year-old actress was admitted like the way the new director of this movie Francis Lawrence directs "Catching Fire". Although she admitted that she still liked the previous director Gary Ross.
I like how the director Francis directs it, as much as I love Gary Ross, she added. "It's more like the reality of the story rather than just the details of her imagination."
The plan, "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" will begin shooting this summer. The film will still be starring Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth. The film is scheduled graced theaters in November 2013

DALLAS — Elizabeth Escalona, the 23-year-old mother of five who admitted to gluing her daughter's hands to the wall and beating her as potty training punishment, was sentenced Friday to 99 years.
In announcing the sentence, state District Judge Larry Mitchell said Escalona "savagely beat" her child and deserved to be punished.
During closing arguments earlier Friday, prosecutor Eren Price told the court to give Escalona's children peace by knowing she would never come walking through their door in the future.
The prosecution showed photos of the apartment where Jocelyn Cedillo was glued to the wall, saying "We have to imagine what it was like."
Defense attorneys said Escalona needs anger management and treatment. They painted her life as a miserable one of abuse and drugs.
Escalona faced from probation to life in prison, and prosecutors had sought 45 years behind bars.
While on the stand Thursday, Escalona sobbed as a prosecutor ordered her to look at the injuries she inflicted on her daughter's body.
She cried and didn't speak for several seconds after prosecutor Eren Price displayed a photo of then-2-year-old Jocelyn during Escalona's sentencing hearing. Dozens of red and brown marks from the September 2011 beating covered Jocelyn's back.
"Ms. Escalona, if you can do it, you can look at it," Price said in a loud, sharp voice.
Escalona, who pleaded guilty in July to felony injury of a child, was on the witness stand for a second day.
Police say Escalona kicked her daughter in the stomach, beat her with a milk jug, then stuck her hands to an apartment wall with an adhesive commonly known as Super Glue. Escalona's other children told authorities their mother attacked Jocelyn due to potty training problems.
Jocelyn suffered bleeding in her brain, a fractured rib, bruises and bite marks, and was in a coma for a couple of days. Some skin had been torn off her hands, where doctors also found paint chips from the apartment wall, witnesses testified.
Prosecutors have portrayed Escalona as an unfit mother with a history of violence, and Price has repeatedly referred to her as a "monster." Escalona has admitted she behaved like a monster when she beat Jocelyn, but insists she isn't one now.
Price asked Escalona what she thought should happen in the case. Escalona replied in a soft, halting voice: "I should be put away." Then, she added, "But I also think I should be given a second chance."
When Price asked her why, she responded: "Because I'm not a monster."
Escalona also testified that her children were a source of stress. "They didn't bother me, but I did (need) a little break," she said.
She described one of her sons misbehaving and getting into fights and another daughter once leaving home without her permission. Under questioning from defense attorney Angie N'Duka, Escalona said she was learning ways to deal with her anger and the stress of raising five children.
But Price said she still didn't understand what could have caused the attack on Jocelyn.
"Explain to us what about your stress is unique from what everybody else in this world lives through every single day," she said.
In her testimony, Escalona admitted she often doesn't tell the truth and had lied to doctors and others assigned to her case. But she resisted Price's repeated efforts to get her to admit she was a liar.
"I'm not a liar," Escalona said. "I have a hard time trusting people."
Escalona acknowledged several missteps in her childhood: hanging around with gang members and trying marijuana around the age of 11, assaulting her mother at 12 and getting pregnant with her first child at 14.
She also admitted drinking and doing drugs after she was released from jail on bond in February.
Despite what she described as problems paying rent and other bills, Escalona admitted she was using marijuana about twice a day in the time before she attacked Jocelyn.
Price said Escalona will be eligible for parole in 30 years. N'Duka said she plans to appeal.
She should never be let out of prison.
I'd hit that…
In the back of the head with a 2×4.
8 feet of rope around a tree limb would do
WHY did she have FIVE kids?! If they were such stress, then they should have been put up for adoption. Especially considering she had her first one at 14. Freaking ridiculous! This woman is nuts!!
she has a problem trusting people…but her vagina seems willing to give everyone a chance.
Tall tree short piece of rope!!!
A 23 year old mother of five!!! Hasn't she ever heard of birth control? I can understand the circumstances she lived in were difficult. But I can't understand doing something like that. Give your children up if you can't care for them properly.
Texas don't play. She deserves a shot drop and a quick stop.
you know what, kids can be stressful, but that is no excuse to treat an innocent child in such a monsterous way, glue the mothers hands to the wall and beat her, see how much she likes it, she's nothing but a horrible disgusting monster who has no right to call herself a mother, glad for her to be locked away so she can never burden her kids lives again
her life was full of abuse and drugs? well the ONLY abuse i see is abuse handed out BY her not to her, secondly drugs were her own choice…the very second someone tries to claim being under the influence of drugs as an excuse for their actions they should be given 20 yrs BEFORE any other sentence after all those drugs ARE illegal and you choice to use them they are NOT an excuse so hang the bitch and the money saved in keeping her alive can go towards the children's therapy for years to come because they will need it more then she does
Super glue her hands to the wall,let me bang that from the back for a few years.
She will be dead before the 99 years are up..its really stupid to sentence someone to a term that will never be served completely. It should be–sentenced to the rest of her natural life with no parole. Plus as part of her sentence should be glued to a wall and beaten within an inch her life at least once a week until she dies. Better yet,put to death immediately. I hope she won't be given the chance for parole as we all know that she will breed over and over again only to do the same thing. I hope the other woman in the jail get her alone and kill her. All the guards have to do is turn their backs or take an extra long break.
keep your legs shut?
What a douche…so to speak. There is a difference between discipline and abuse; whatever you do, DO NOT hurt children! She should never know freedom again, ever.
I am glad she got a harsh sentence. Anyone who could do such a thing and claim – oh but I'm not a monster now- should never again rejoin society. Chances are that she'll serve her time in solitary thanks to the media attention around this case. Her cellmates are going to have no love for her at all.
Glue her hands to a wall and beat the shit out of her 5 times a day for the rest of her sorry-ass life.
Why is it that things like this warrant a 99 year sentence, yet rape and killing never get more than about 25 years. I don't understand. Yes this is heinous, but does it really warrant a harsher sentence than murder?
LOL it DOESN'T pay to have some kinda narcissistic personality disorder (especially when KNOWINGLY), and goes untreated. In case of a divorce, whichever parent (and normally there's at least ONE of the two, IF NOT both!) diagnosed as such or another form including bipolar/paranoid schizophrenic/etc should NOT be the one with full time custody, if any, supervised. Their kid(s) could get getting molested by their boyfriend or whatever, right in front of them, and she/he'd continue watching Dancing With The Stars or some bullshit like that.
5 kids at 23 years old? She may mistrust people but she sure likes them enough to get fucked! She's a whore.

Everton Vs. Tottenham Hotspur: Lineups And Live Match Thread
It's Everton vs. Tottenham Hotspur, Tottenham Hotspur vs. Everton, and no, neither club is particularly happy right now. One team is looking at a rare finish outside the top 10 (Everton), the other is looking at possibly losing their grip on third place and will make it more than a month without a point in league competition if they can't get a result today (Spurs). We're a cheery sort, aren't we?
Everton (4-4-1-1): Tim Howard; Phil Neville, John Heitinga, Sylvain Distin, Leighton Baines; Seamus Coleman, Marouane Fellaini, Leon Osman, Royston Drenthe; Tim Cahill; Nikica Jelavic.
Tottenham (4-4-2): Brad Friedel; Kyle Walker, Younes Kaboul, Ledley King, Benoit Assou-Ekotto; Luka Modric, Scott Parker, Sandro, Gareth Bale; Emmanuel Adebayor, Jermain Defoe.
Why, why, why, Luka on the right? If you can't go Christmas tree, sit Sandro and play Niko on the right. Or whatever. I don't even know anymore.
The match kicks off at 12:30 p.m. ET and 5:30 pm local. You can find it on Fox Soccer Channel in the States or if you're looking for it in Spanish, it's on Fox Deportes. For you English folk, ESPN UK has you covered. Tune in, talk about the match, don't post illegal links/streams. You all know the drill.

Home Sweet, Cheap Home Eliminating your utility bills
Wouldn't it be great to make your utility bills disappear? One local developer is making this possible, and the Building Cincinnati blogger looks into the "net-zero" energy concept. Keep reading as he tells more about these bill-busting abodes that are good for your wallet and the world.
The energy-efficient home is the culmination of four years of work by Potterhill to develop a net-zero energy home at an affordable price point. "We're all about green building and energy efficiency and construction, and, in fact, we have three certified green professionals on staff," says Potterhill Homes President Carolyn Rolfes. "We're always trying to outdo ourselves, and always trying to find new, affordable ways to bring green technology to the Cincinnati home building market." All homes at Northwind, located on 7.1 acres along Kirby Avenue in Northside, are available for between $150,000 and $200,000 and come with geothermal heating and cooling and solar panel systems. Seven of the 25 home sites have been sold. The NorthPointe Group acquired the property in 2008 after emerging as the winning bidder in the city's request for qualifications (RFQ) process, and Potterhill was named as the builder. "There couldn't be a better place for us to introduce this net-zero energy home to the public than the city of Cincinnati, and in particular the Northside neighborhood, stand behind green and energy efficiency," Rolfes says. Also unveiled Tuesday was a plaque honoring Mary Jackson, a community advocate and activist who helped kill a highway project that would have destroyed the Northside neighborhood. Jackson, who died in 2005, began a grassroots effort in the late 1950s to bring the project's negative consequences to state and local governments. Called the Colerain Connector, the project was envisioned in the Cincinnati Metropolitan Master Plan of 1948 as a quick connection through the Kirby Avenue valley linking Interstate 74/Colerain/Beekman interchange and Hamilton Avenue. During that time, more than 200 homes and businesses were razed. Former State Rep. William Mallory, Sr., remembers touring the area shortly after taking office. "One day I was at the savings and loan on Hamilton Avenue where we were having some kind of ceremony, and I said, publicly, that we're going to take our land back," Mallory says. "It took them 30 years and they tore peoples' houses down, and they never, ever built the connector. And those people were displaced, and it made me very angry." Cincinnati Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls also remembers touring the area during her first term as mayor. "This was after such tremendous political leaders as former State Rep. William Mallory, Sr. actually recognized that it would be just absolutely the worst thing in the world to do to just make this an expressway for people rushing to get out of the City and to get home after work," Qualls says. "It's fine and good for people to travel on our roads but, through our residential neighborhoods? We really want to encourage people to live in what are some of the 52 finest neighborhoods in the entire region." Between 1982 and 1998, the Ohio Department of Transportation continued to present alternatives for the roadway to the community. With the help of Mallory, Qualls and strong neighborhood opposition, ODOT scrapped the plan for the connector in 1999 and returned the land back to the city. "It is a testament to this community that you have persevered, and today you have emerged victorious," Mallory says. Northside Community Council President Tim Jeckering says that the 50-year battle was one worth fighting. "It just goes to show you that sometimes things take a little long to get done, but, if you stick with them, you can get them done," he says. "To stand here during National Homeownership Month and talk about the houses that are finally being put back here on this land where 200 homes of our community were taken down on a premature basis, and irresponsibly so, in my mind ' to have the homes go back here in this area is a win for me." "This is a testament to the dedication and determination of the people in this area," says City Manager Milton Dohoney. "For the people who are outside of the City who don't appreciate what the City has to offer, all they have to do is come here and look around."

I bought one plant a year ago. Since then it has not really grown.
It is in a pot for now, located on a eastern side of the house and it gets fog filtered light or rarely and shortly direct sun. Should I put it under a tree where there is more shade? What else can I do? It's not dying but it's not doing envy thing else either :0( Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I would plant it in the ground. I think the pot is probably the problem. |
- Posted by Agnieszka13 10 (My Page) on Tue, Apr 24, 12 at 11:00
Yes, may be you are right. I was hoping for the plant to get bigger before planting it in its permanent spot. I didn't think the pot would be a problem because it is quite large and it has excellent soil. And I've been watering it every other day. I'll try to plant it this weekend, and hope for the best... Thank you! |
- Posted by gardengal48 PNW zone 8 (My Page) on Fri, Apr 27, 12 at 17:05
Couple of things to consider.....hellebores are only shade tolerant, not shade lovers. They will tolerate quite a lot of direct sun, especially early day sun. And a few Mediterranean species just flop over in much shade! They are also quite drought tolerant once established - watering every other day may be excessive. |
- Posted by Agnieszka13 10 (My Page) on Fri, Apr 27, 12 at 17:21
Thanks gardengal48! This is a great info and I'll apply your suggestions immediately. Less water, and a bit more sun! :) Done. |

First Nations protest lingers against proposed Melvin Creek ski resort
Hubert Jim has occupied an unusual home for the last decade. Originally a resident of the Lil'wat First Nation community of Mount Currie, Jim used to work as a cook in restaurant kitchens in the Whistler area. Over 12 years ago, community opposition to a proposed ski resort prompted him to set up camp at Melvin Creek, or what is referred to by the St'át'imc people as Sutikalh.
What he initially expected to be a stay of a few days has turned into a much more permanent residence at the tranquil site in the Cayoosh mountain range, just off Highway 99 between Pemberton and Lillooet. While he was at one point accompanied by many other protesters, the man known as Hubie now spends most of his time at the Sutikalh camp with one friend and fellow protester and a couple of dogs.
Above Jim's camp flutters a red Mohawk warrior flag, and his dark green jacket sports sewn-on badges from indigenous groups based in locations as far away as Quebec and Argentina that have visited the site over the years.
Jim says that, when he initially set up camp in May 2000, it was at the request of "the grandmothers", older women known as the teachers in the Lil'wat community. He sees his purpose as protecting the natural habitat.
"You can go in the bush and still find 25 types of edible berries," Jim told the Georgia Straight on a recent Saturday afternoon at the site. "All the medicines you need are still here."
The camp is a lingering sign of protest from the St'át'imc against the major ski resort envisioned by proponents Al Raine and Nancy Greene Raine—now the mayor of the Sun Peaks Mountain Resort Municipality and a Conservative senator, respectively.
As proposed, the four-season Cayoosh resort would have 14 ski lifts and a capacity to host over 14,000 people a day in the Melvin Creek Valley.
While the environmental-assessment certificate issued for the project in 2000 is still valid, no construction work on the site has been permitted since the expiry of the certificate was suspended. Issued through an order in council in 2005, the suspension was made to allow time for the Crown to conduct additional consultations with First Nations.
Information provided by the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office indicates that consultations are on hold and no timeline has been set for launching consultations on the proponents' request for an extension of the certificate.
"The province has said to me, 'You know, we're working on it,' and I have not heard very much since," Al Raine told the Straight by phone. "I'm not sure exactly where it goes," he added. "If First Nations are interested, I'm happy to say, 'Hey, here's where I think the opportunities are.' "
But Garry John, elected chief of the Seton Lake Indian Band and chair of the St'át'imc Chiefs Council, said the 11 St'át'imc communities in the region, including Mount Currie and Lillooet, made it clear when the proposal came forward that they were opposed to the project.
"We view Melvin Creek as an area holding far too much heritage and resource value in the sense of historical value, cultural value, spiritual value for our people," he said in a phone interview.
"There's all kinds of indicator species up there, the main one being the grizzly bear, and mountain goat, that need that habitat in its present form in order to survive."
Raine said he met with the St'át'imc chiefs and made it "absolutely clear to them all" that without their support, the proponents wouldn't be proceeding with the project.
"Twenty-five years ago, I was keenly interested," he explained. "I still think it represents probably from a climate point of view—you know, for weather, snow quality, terrain potential—probably the best opportunity in the province. Obviously I wouldn't have spent money if I didn't think that. And that's probably still true today, but, you know, do I want to beat my head against the wall, do I want to fight the First Nations? Absolutely not."
In the meantime, Jim plans to stay on at the camp. The former Mount Currie resident hasn't been dissuaded by some of the challenges, including winter isolation and some recent incidents in which he says he was assaulted by people entering the camp.
"The guys that want the ski resort come in here when they're all drunk and start fights," Jim claimed. "I'm still fighting a lot."
Raine believes the long-term existence of the camp is due to issues beyond the project itself.
"I think the protest has little to do with the project and more to do with the whole politics and the issues around land claims and rights," Raine argued.
Jim does indicate that he sees his presence at Sutikalh, which translates roughly as "home of the winter spirit", as part of efforts to protect the traditional land of the St'át'imc people.
"Without our territory and our…St'át'imc language, without that, we're nothing," Jim said.
Chief John predicted that Jim will stay at the camp "until he takes his last breath".
"Or he's going to have to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that he doesn't have to worry about the place anymore," John said.

You took the words right out of my tapping fingers (if I had the time).
Thank you!
If he's "living off the land" he must have found some miraculous way of growing flour and coffee in a place that's snowbound over half the year too.
People have been living off the land for thousands of years without flour and coffee.
And even with snow on the ground.
Back to your Quakers granola bars.
Thanks for the input, but I wasn't speaking literally about any one person. I was speaking about First Nations generally in response to a rather blinkered viewpoint expressed by someone else.

The Cooler
One of the best features on the MaxOrb EX is the user adjustable fan speed system. Many companies send along the same type of device but make it with a long wire so it can mount to the back of the case in a PCI slot cover. The wire is difficult to hide and usually longer than a full tower case is tall, making concealment impossible. For the MaxOrb the adjustment is right on the cooler and users can fine tune and forget.
As stated before, the main difference between the two MaxOrb coolers is the outside copper fins. Here we have a good look at the fins and their height. The fins are very thin but not as thin as those used on the Nexus coolers.
Along the outside we see the six large heatpipes that pull heat from the base and move it to the fin area. You can also see the inner fins in this picture.
The mounting mechanism on the MaxOrb is unique and allows the same hardware to be used for both AMD and Intel setups. The only difference is if the bracket will use screws or pins to hold it to the motherboard.
Blue LEDs light up the fan when active, but the real thing to look at here is the inner fins that are made of aluminium just like the first MaxOrb. We will have to see if changing the outer set alone will give the EX better cooling performance.
The base of the cooler wasn't exactly a mirror finish, but it was close. There were a couple of odd machine marks on the bottom, but I have seen worse.

Pontiac Torrent
tripowergto Posts: 83I saw my first Torrent yesterday at the dealership. It looked good in black and from the front it wasn't such an obvious rebadge. While many who know it's lineage may quickly dismiss it, it is a HUGE improvement over the Aztek it replaces and the average potential buyer will likely embrace this vehicle if priced correctly. I would like to see a performance driveline package offered in the future. Pontiac needs a vehicle in this class.
millege1 Posts: 4I picked up my Torrent a week ago. I love it! Sure, there are a few quirky things about it, but there is for every car out there.
Mine is stone gray, with the Preferred package and the Sun and Sound Package. The only thing I might have changed is the location of the window opening buttons. That takes getting used to.
I looked at many vehicles before I bought the Torrent. Most cars left me feeling like I was sitting on the ground. The other SUVs of this size had a choppy ride. Only the Equinox/Torrent rode like a car. I picked the Torrent because I liked its looks better than the Eke, and the dealer gave me a great deal on it. Plus, it's nice having a vehicle that no one else has (at least for the moment!)
Would I recommend it? Yes! -
lildevil Posts: 1The Torrents are now available at the dealerships. I ordered one before they were released and it was delivered shortly after the launch. I absolutely love it. It is extremely comfortable to drive and has more than enough room for my family of 4 (with 2 teenagers) and a dog. As a person with back problems, I find the ride to extremely smooth for an SUV. I test drove many SUVs and none were compared to that of the Torrent. Because the Torrent was not available at the time of purchase, I test drove the sister vehicle, the Chevy Equinox as they are identical except for the aesthetics. The interior chrome accents give the vehicle a touch of class, as do the spoiler, lights and wheels rims. My Torrent, a cashmere exterior has a black leather interior, was a special order as typically a vehicle with that exterior normally comes with the sedona beige interior. I'm extremely happy with my choice as it complements the "sports package" theme, which includes upgraded rims, sunroof, upgraded stereo and heated seats. It truly looks and drives and IS a vehicle with class!
bruneau1 Posts: 468Saw a blue-green crystal paint on a Torrrent which was stunning. The appearance changes over the Equinox are all positive. Hopefully, the handling and steering have been improved over the Equinox. The seats are the same uncomfortable ones as in the Equinox. Wouldn't put my enemy on the second row seats.

dekes1 Posts: 1Just picked up a new Torrent. Black on Black Leather, AWD, Sun&Sound package (including deep tinted windows). Pay no attention to MSRP - with the Red tag sale and dealer rebates you can get one for way under suggested. MSRP on mine was 29,345 and I paid 26,500.
So far I love it. It's a much better ride than the XL7, much better looking that the Escape or CRV. I think it's one of the sharpest looking small/mid SUVs on the road (similar to a Lexus Rx330). It's larger than I expected, closer to a Pilot or short-wheelbase Trailblazer. The interior is much cleaner than the Equinox (but I am disappointed in the plastic on the upper third of the door panels). Could use a little more power though.
With the stunning Solstice, the new G6 coupe and the GTO and Grand Prix GXP, Pontiac is really the company to watch right now. -

tripowergto Posts: 83Despite all the complaining that the Torrent is just another GM rebadge, after spending some time thoroughly checking out a purplish-blue Torrent yesterday, I must say it truly is a very attractive vehicle and certainly more upscale/different enough from the Equinox. The interior is very nice for the price point! Once it gets the engine upgrade, I'd proudly own one. They seem to be selling quite well. Red tag price was just over $22K
rhouser2 Posts: 114my wife and i took delivery of a torrent yesterday. she drives about 40 miles per day to and from work and this is her car. we drove an 05 rendezvous and the torrent at the same dealer. we didn't like the rend. because of the spungy handling and the seats were not very comfortable. both of our mothers are in their mid 70's are not as agile as they once were. we found exiting from the torrent rear seat very easy and cant say that about the rend. the torent seems to have plenty of power,quiet ride and comfortable seating. outward visibility is better on the torrent than the rond.
granted these are initial views,,, time will tell the whole story. will post more as the miles accumulate.
oues is fwd,secuity package,preferred package,17" wheels,,,black ext and ebony cloth int. sharp looking rig in this color! -
rpursley Posts: 2Nice attractive package. However, GM seems incapable of exercising good business and marketing sense. A potential buyer has to purchase a special package to get cruise control on a Torrent. Incredible! And that Chinese thrasher engine with it's poor gas mileage is a real turnoff to many potential Torrent (or Equinox) buyers. Why when they have good 3.5 and 3.9 engines available? It is rumored that Pontiac will adopt one of these engines in next year's model. Any truth to that rumor? I'd consider buying one if they did, but not now.
exalteddragon1 Posts: 735they will put them in/ The 3.5 should be standard, which means more power and fuel economy, as well as bieng better built, and the 3.9L 240 hp VVT V6 will be available as an option.
I am pretty sure this will be done next year, but I cannot guarantee it. GM knows toyota has that new Rav4, so they have to upgrade there engines.
Man, that Torrent interrior is KILLER COOL! especially in black with that metal looking trim and RED backlighting! Whoa man, I can't wait to see some of those with the 3.9L!
One note, They should not tune this engine for aggressive driving. They made that mistake in the G6 GTP and the result is 18mpg city fuel economy! In an SUV, this aggressive gearing will KILL milege and customers will choose the toyota.
GM must do everything in there power to increase HP while at least maintaning the current fuel economy. -

rhouser2 Posts: 114i would like to find an aftermarket rear cargo cover for our torrent. i don't like the system offered through pontiac. i would prefer a retractable window shade type similar to what the crv and escape use. have done several searches but find nothing. have thought about having an upholstery shop make one. any ideas?
bstinman Posts: 6I have about 1,500 miles on my AWD Torrent. Driving 80 miles a day (mostly freeway) and getting about 20mpg. A little less than I had hoped for.
Anybody out there notice that you can't turn on the rear seat light without the front seat light also coming on? Doesn't seem to be any way to turn off the front light when the rear seat light is on which is dangerous when driving. Occasionally we will need to switch on the rear light to check on the baby or what not. -
kfriel Posts: 31Newbe here, just found this forum. My wife and I just got a Black AWD Torrent. Loving it. Have about 1800 miles on it so far. We shopped the hell out of this truck and Pontiac won us over. Equinox to plain, no style, Saturn Vue too plastic-ie Honda motor too high strung. Ford escape too small etc etc...
This is our first GM anything so we shall see. Love the way it handles. Not sure I like the idea of the car telling me when to change my oil so we shall see. Thank GOD I don't have low air pressure warnings in tires sensors! Hello and reading the mail.

aviboy97 Posts: 3,159I must say, I do like the styling of the Torent. But thats really it. I really think the new RAV4 is going to sell VERY well, esspecially since it's much bigger now. Also, Mazda sends the CX-7 to this side of the pond in the spring. A 244hp AWD crossover that has been generating a very big stir in the crossover segment. Not to mention how much butt the Murano has been kicking the past few years.
To be honest, I do think initial sales of the Torent will be good, but, will taper off drastically, like every other GM product.
With the competition in the auto industry these days, you have to build a reliable product, with high quality materials if you want to sell vehicles. With the superb quality that the [non-permissible content removed] companies are putting out, it's no wonder the "big 3" are in such trouble. Build a quality car, people will buy it! -
slinky1 Posts: 42just to comment on the "superb japanese quality", the torrent received 88pph as a j.d. power score for the first 6 months os 2005, in may when the full year results come out, if that number stays the same or close to it, the torrent will be the segment leader in initial quality.
GM received gold,silver and bronze awards, a clean sweep for plant quality from J.D. power.
I think perception and heresay over powers fact these days.

Quoted from 14428 Another Explorer checking in... I see 3 of us are nonnies too, which I guess is a big marker of Explorers. I can't say much about cortisol either, as it's not always easy to determine what is causing what. I am healing on so many levels at this point and seeing AMAZING changes especially in my skin and hair...I had dry skin, but otherwise I thought I had pretty good skin until I see it now... and it's not dry anymore either . I'm on Premarin Virginia secondary to surgical menopause, and I can't get off of it.. I've tried twice now...and won't be doing that again, but I'm thinking maybe I should add progesterone cream, but hey that might be another thread...
Quoted from nowishow I'm just chiming in to say hello. I can't really speak to the corisol issue. I know that when I was tested last year (when I was diagnosed with Lyme disease) that I was pretty close to the normal range. But your theory sounds pretty interesting. I know that my slow processing liver is responsible for a lot of my health problems.
Quoted from Magess How can you tell when you have high cortisol levels other than getting tests? Does it feel like something? Stress usually, eventually, leads me to anger. I smash and storm about for a bit and then feel totally drained for the rest of the day.
Quoted from Captain_Janeway Too much cortisol in the blood will tend to make people gain weight especially more belly fat. Judging by that if I am really stressed about something either long term or short I would have to say that I'm not really influenced by cortisol. Stress will tend to cause weight loss at least for me. Don't know why maybe cause I'm a nonnie.
Quoted from Seraffa I'm glad that that reminds me the story is not complete till I get my secretor testing done. I'm hoping for secretor since I have great dental health....but you never know.
Quoted from paul clucas I also have a peculiar response to stress. I can get completely stress out before an anticipated stressor, or after a surprise one, while feeling pretty calm during the event.
Quoted from paul clucas Build-up of stress by products has always been an issue for me. I had a few berserk / fugue states during the stress of my youth, but I am not sure how those would be connected. Looking forward to better mobility and exercise in the future, so I am not expecting any amelioration.

The Mors factory was one of the earliest car manufacturers to take part in racing (1897). Its creator, Emille Mors, was a strong believer in the technical and promotional benefits of automobile racing. Much of racing at the turn of the century was a battle between Panhard and Mors.The first race cars had straight or inline cylinders and the Mors was one of the first using a V concept. The 60 HP Grand Prix car was powered by a 10 liter V4-cylinder engine, using magneto ignition and side valves it rated power of 60 bhp was reached at 950 rpm. Constructed on a steel chassis, power was transmitted via a four-speed transmission to chain driven rear wheels upon which were placed the brakes.
In 1902 the Mors pioneered the use of dampers (shock absorbers) in their race cars. This was a tremendous advantage over the rough or non-existent roads of the day. In this car, Henri Fournier, won one the greatest races of the period, scoring a victory in the Paris-Berlin race only to have the drive chain break just as he was about to start his victory parade! Mors' major racing efforts ended in 1908 and a planned comeback was ruined by World War I.

Abuja: Islam happens to be a peaceful religion and it is very moderate and tolerant towards people of other religions. There is no place of extremism in Islam and no such activity should be associated with the peaceful religion.
This was categorically said by the Governor of Niger State, Dr. Muazu Babangida Aliyu. Niger State is a state in the north western Nigeria and the largest state in the country.
Niger State Governor said that Islam is a religion of moderation that should not be linked to any form of extreme practices being witnessed now like attacking people of other faiths.
The governor stated this at the opening ceremony of a three-day workshop for 210 Imams and Islam leaders from the north central at the UK Bello Art theatre Minna. He argued that Islam rejects any eccentric and extreme practices.
He said that Islam should not be associated with Boko Haram, stressing, "We all know that Islam is a religion of moderation and abhors extremism in all aspects."
According to him, it is not fair that the activities of Boko Haram are often linked to Islam even when the sect's actions negate the basic principles of the Islam.
He said, "So it behooves on us as Muslims not to attack another religion in the name of jihad."
Aliyu observed that many Muslims lack the simplest essentials of the religion because they lack the basic knowledge of Islam.
He said that parents should not shy away from the responsibilities of teaching their children basic knowledge of the religion and formal schools stressing that they should encourage moral or religious teachings to shun extremism and eccentric religious practice.
"As religious leaders, you are expected to mold and reform the society through wise preaching, sincere and honest admonitions, spiritual advice and community support at all times," Aliyu added.
He stated further, "You are entrusted with the guidance (AMANA) of everybody in the society, the leaders and the led, rich and the poor, young and the old, father and son, husband and wife, that you see as servants of God."
He also charged the Imams to be in the frontline of mutual understanding between Muslims and non-Muslims as well as guide political leaders in the right direction.
The Imams drawn from Kwara, Kogi, Nasarawa, Plateau, Benue, FCT and the host state, Niger participated in the three-day workshop which aims to encourage peaceful co-existence among the people of other religions in the zone.
