http://sports.yahoo.com/top/news;_y...cB?slug=jo-steroids092407&prov=yhoo&type=lgns this is about to get a lot worse
I really hope that none of our players are involved in this round of crap. We have had our fill I think. On the flip side, I sure hope that some of the name callers, or maybe some of the players from our most venomous name calling trolls will be deeply entrenched. Really, I kinda wish it wasn't even a factor and that they could all just play.
It is easy to understand why sports association and leagues want their competitions to be all free of steroids. It is easy to understand why wise heads urge athletes and almost all others to avoid taking steroids. What i have yet to hear an explanation of is why people should be sent to prison for what they elect to take into their own bodies.
So who is being sent to prison? Generally speaking law enforcement seems to be more interested in incarcerating manufacturers, distributors and doctors writing illegal scripts for steroids and HGH, not the individuals receiving them.
So, are you saying that the law forbids manufacture and distribution ... but not use? If not ... as i believe is the case ... you seem to be taking comfort from the arbitrary or whimsical negligence of "law enforcement" in carrying out there sworn duties. That is, a user's freedom depends on dereliction throughout the criminal justice system. Users, however, ARE pilloried and punished. Are steroid users legally subject to being placed on a "steroid users list" - like sex offenders ... or is systematic leaking of suspected purchasers' identities ALSO to be a function of the desk sergeant's discretion?
I'm one of those who believes drug use should be legalized. But if it were, there would have to be a whole new legal regime about distribution, using-while-XYZ, employers' rights to drug test, etc. Further discussion should probably be taken out of the football forums.
Hey, what if this story gets really huge? Other stories lately have started out in a similar way. Then, BLAMO, they are way out of control. Is this one of those stories?
No, it's illegal to sell steroids to someone who does not have a Doctor's Prescription, filled out in compliance with the local State's regulations.
Fellers, This whole issue is NOT about using steroids, per se. It's about the illegal manufacture, sale and disytribution through faux doctors and faux prescriptions. It is perfectly legal for a licenced maker to produce steroids and for real doctors who actually see their patients to prescribe them and the patient to take them. What happened was a number of labs started to produce and offer to sell steroids without the permits. They used certain doctors to blank-check the prescriptions, and then sold them online. The buyers would simply pass their info onto the website, who would have their doctor on the payroll fill out a scrip to make it look legit. This kept the sales off the books and out of sight of Federal overseers. It also allowed folks to obtain these items without any outsiders knowing about it. It's not about steroids being illegal. It's about an illegal operation to manufacture and sell them without the proper permits, taxes, etc.
They aren't being prosected and sent to prison for using steroids. They are being prosecuted and sent to prison for illegally possesing steroids and illegally obtaining steroids. If they had gone to a real doctor and gotten a prescription for them, they could have obtained them from a legitimate source and used them legally. Instead, they went through an illegal provider who used faked prescriptions (written by a real doctor, but one who had never even met, let alone examined, his patients) etc. In short, they violated federal laws on controlled substances. respects,

One Upside of the Snowpocalypse: Snow Pong
There have been a lot of snow days across the country as of late thanks to the recent (and still ongoing) snowpocalyse. According to Foodbeast, college kids who haven't had to go to class have been staying warm by studying indoors outside in the snow playing Snow Pong, the genius snow edition of the ever-popular drinking game, beer pong. Students are posting their snow pong setups on social media using the hashtag #snowpong. Here's our question: Is it possible for the frigid temps to make beer popsicles in those red Solo Cups?

4 large red grapefruit, peeled and sectioned
4 avocados - peeled, pitted, and sliced
1/3 cup orange juice
1/3 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons honey
salt and cracked black pepper to taste
I enjoyed this...It was a nice change from your typical salad. I added a little thinly sliced red onion to balance out the tart. Next time I might add a little Feta or Goat Cheese. A little of this goes a long way so keep that in mind when making the full amount..I think it serves more like 12 people.
I don't think it really needed the olive oil, but otherwise I liked it and will make it again. I did add a bit of sliced red onion. It was good without it, but better with it. Also, the serving size is pretty generous, so keep that in mind. I made a fourth of the recipe, and instead of serving two people it could have easily served four.

This was delish... a really good way to incorporate grapefruit, especially if you don't particularly like it! I did change a few things... I added shrimp (suggested on a different recipe) and used Trader Joe's Rio Red Grapefruit juice instead of Orange juice. Also, I added Lemon Pepper and a little salt. Delicious!
Easy base recipe.... Made twice, once as is, second time adding red onion and blackberries and plated on bed of romain lettuce. Light and yummy!
So good! Scaled to 1 serving.....just me....Haha.....delicious and a combo that I normally wouldn't think to eat. Refreshing and healthy. Made no changes. Served with Ray's Chicken from this site. Thanks!
I added a few chopped scallions and some cilantro..very good with our dinner of tortilla soup.
Nice comb. Salad dressing just right. Yeah, you'll add more stuff to the salad once you've had it because you a foodie but to start you off, it's great. Thanks sugar-n-spice, it is a great change up from the other salads.
The red grapefruit is so sweet right now in TX, just cut out the honey and added a few chili flakes. Delicious, healthy and light.

Graphic notations of twenty classic funk beats. Read more
Graphic notations of twenty classic funk beats.
About this project
"I was working last night and I thought, 'man, I could really use the funklet right now.'" —L05
previous failed funding attempt
Lemme spit
I want to make a book about drumming that looks good. A funky beat is a great design. Some great designers:
- Bernard Purdie
- James Gadson
- Herman Roscoe Ernerst III
- Zigaboo
- Roger Hawkins
- Clyde Stubblefield
***outside US backers, please add $5 for shipping. thx***
The Funklet
It's a booklet of twenty classic beats. Each beat gets a page. The notation looks good and offers a little more information than standard notation.
Drummers can dig the accurate transcriptions. Cats who don't read standard notation can gain a better understanding of the classics. Beat-makers can program with these nuggets. Design cats'll dig it.
By pledging through kickstarter, you will also recieve a semi-personalized form letter (on Funklet Company letterhead) declaring that you are the Funklet's sole true fan and the only one that "gets" it.
The Funklet Audio Companion Buddy
I'm going to play and record the beats on a drumset made for babies. Hear it in action:
There'll be bass too.
Put it on your wall. Maybe where you practice. Let the world know you love that groove.
- Bernard Purdie's Rock Steady (Aretha Franklin)
- James Gadson's Use Me (Bill Withers)
- Clyde Stubblefield's Mother Popcorn (James Brown)
Bernard Purdie's "Rock Steady" (16x9")
Most of the money is going into production costs for the booklet. My Dad'll edit it for free. I'll also be buying some recording gear and tape to make the Audio Companion. If I use other musicians, I will pay them 1967 union scale.
Peace be with,

Bought car a few months ago. Ran o.k. and passsed inspection....has 162,000 miles. Noticed a small coolant leak that was dripping from the drivers side corner of the radiator. It was apparrent the source was in another location after experiening a much larger leak in the area under the waterpump. I refilled the radiator 3 times and still couldn't pinpoint the exact location of the leak. The car did overheat, and I am praying that the head gasket will hold out. A couple of people that know more about repairs than I do, both agreed that the w/p is the culprit if you cannot locate the source of the leak, b/c the fluid will be coming from the weep hole. When removing the top hose, the PLASTIC radiator nipple broke off in the hose so I was going to put in new pump, radiator, and all hoses while I am at it. Another mechanic I talked to said it might be a freeze plug that let go. That would make sense, if there is a plug behind the w/p on the block, cause that's the general area where the coolant appeared to coming from. I can only see 1 plug on the intake side of the block, as everything else is blocked from view by manifold etc. Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated. I was having a hard time getting the w/p bolts removed and heard that there are special modified tools required to do this job. I purchased some wobble ratchet extensions, hoping that will get me the proper angle to remove the bolts. This is a great car and I miss driving her already. Thanks.
