Retail pet sales: Are abuses common or exaggerated?
That's why this ordinance won't hurt the cause. But it draws an important line in the sand. It will help stop traffic from large brokers of puppy mills to supply stores that too often have proved to be unacceptable points of sale for puppies. Until there is a proven way to certify, inspect, and police commercial breeding facilities, these stores will continue to benefit from mass suffering.
So what's the solution? In San Diego, America's "Pet Friendliest City," many responsible pet supply stores have already implemented a humane model by only showcasing animals from local rescue groups and animal shelters. They've taken this lead from Petco, which has long exemplified the "adoption first" model. This is the responsible approach and sends a powerful message that San Diegans will not support puppy mills.
Actually, this is about breeders after all. It's about supporting responsible breeders who love and care for the puppies, kittens and rabbits they are raising — animals that aren't commodities but, rather, living, breathing beings.
San Diego is a community of animal lovers. It's all too easy to put our heads in the sand and not look at the tag with the information about where whatever we just bought came from. That's why we need this ordinance — and why I am grateful to City Council members Marti Emerald and Lori Zapf for bringing this issue to the council. You can talk to your breeder about your new pup's parents and history. You can't do that if the breeder is a mass production distributor in Missouri selling animals bred in misery to pet stores around the country.
Weitzman is president and CEO of the San Diego Humane Society and SPCA (sdhumane.org).
CON: Ban punishes ethical breeders, writes David Salinas
The solution to ending the issue of "substandard breeders" is not to close down every pet store in America. The Humane Society and animal extremist groups want to do this, but this proposed ordinance is wrong in many different ways.
This is not a moral or ethical issue, but a freedom issue. This is not a San Diego issue, but a right to be an American issue. Is it OK for a local city government to decide for the people what the people should be allowed to purchase? We are not selling marijuana here — we are selling healthy, quality, registered (with pedigree) and guaranteed puppies.
The industry is highly regulated, starting with extremely regulated breeders and distributors. Just like in any industry there are good and "substandard breeders." To punish good, responsible, ethical breeders with a ban on pet stores throughout the country is absolutely the wrong thing to do. Should we ban all doctors for bad doctors? Should we ban lawyers for bad lawyers? Should we ban pet stores and legitimate breeders for bad pet stores and breeders? I think most people would obliviously say no, of course not.
The ban against pet stores will not decrease or eliminate "substandard breeders" but in actuality do the opposite. Shutting down good, legitimate pet stores that work with highly regulated, legitimate breeders will only force good breeders out of business. And the already "substandard breeders" that sell through the black market (i.e. online pet sales, swap meets, Craigslist) will continue to flourish, causing even more of a problem.

Larry Koss | Guest Columnist Tourism is a Nonpolluting Industry'?
In response to Chad Lewis' Aug. 5 Islander article on tourism:

Mr. Lewis' article strikes me as a mercenary and grossly uninformed view of the true effects of tourism. Tragically, it signals that he and the people he quotes are a central part of the problem more than any hope of a solution.

Five sentences say it all:

"Luring Seattle tourists to Kitsap has long been a big part of the local tourism strategy." (Lewis)

"We're certainly glad to have them," said Grant Griffin, executive director of Kitsap Peninsula Visitor and Convention Bureau. "We're thrilled to have them spend their vacation dollars here."

"Tourism pumped $225 million into the Kitsap economy in 2005, according to the visitors bureau. That was up from $219 million in 2004. Based on the number of visitors so far this year, 2006 will be another record-setting year."

"The populace of BI doesn't see itself as a tourist destination," said Kevin Dwyer, executive director for BI Chamber of Commerce. (Oh really?) "Most of the stores here are designed for the locals not tourists ..." (Again, is that really the trend under way in downtown Winslow?)

"It's (tourism) a type of industry that's nonpolluting," he (Dwyer) said. "People come, they visit, they leave their money behind and they leave. You can't get much better than that!"

Does that mentality hit you in the pit of your stomach? Does me!

Let's add some things that weren't included.

Tourism is hardly a green "nonpolluting" industry, Kevin. If it were, why would it spend billions of dollars advertising "the latest unspoiled paradise"? Tourism is globally known for spoiling precious communities worldwide. Look what's been done to Hawaii, Tahiti, the Caribbean, California coast, Aspen, Santa Fe for starters. Where have you been? I've experienced tourist communities of all sizes nationally and internationally for upwards of 30 years. The formula turning them into congested, unaffordable places that drive locals out, because they can no longer afford to live there and/or stand to see what has happened to it, is self-evident for those willing to see it.

BI's own Housing Resources Board director, Bill Reddy, admits he has a "constant stream of longtime locals" coming into his office who are leaving BI. Why? Because "they can no longer afford to live there and/or stand to see what has happened to it."

There is a present effort under way in Hawaii to encourage "cultural visitation" as an alternative to commercial tourism. Established by the Native Hawaiian Hospitality Association, they are hoping to save their culture. When asked by a friend of one Hawaiian family who left, how they could possibly leave Hawaii, they replied, "Because we gave up hope."

Tourism is directly in bed with the Realtor-developer industry and city governments. It's a fallacy to think tourists merely come and leave their wallets — which Griffin, Dwyer and Lewis echo as a "good thing." (And doesn't "come and leave your wallets" sound like one of the ugliest, most disrespectful contexts for visitation you've ever heard? THIS, folks comes from the directors of Kitsap's Visitors Bureau and BI's Chamber of Commerce!)

Tourists are met with "buy our community" literature from the time they board the ferry, while on it and again when they hit the local ferry terminal. Then as they enter the community, they are met by a slew of Realtor offices "pimping" the community from storefront windows. On BI, one finds five Realtor offices in the first block of entering town. On little Orcas Island, there were about nine in the first square block (in 1997, that was).

The strategic formula? (1) Suck them in via tourism, (2) get them to empty their wallets, and (3) get as many as possible to buy property and move here. Meanwhile, work the planning department and city government to expand development possibilities. Good biz for the vendors, Realtor-developers and city coffers — each with their hands out. Now where is the slightest shred of true "community spirit" and "commitment to the larger wellbeing of the community" in any of that?

Now, lest anyone think there's not a deliberate dynamic process under way here that is selling out the spirit, land and true intimacy of this community, or even Kitsap County — and that this deliberately furthers growth, congestion, unaffordability and unimaginable increased complexity, costs and infrastructure challenges — think again. As one senior Kitsap official I spoke with sadly witnesses — despite what natural beauty presently remains, there is a growing "hollowness" spreading across the county.

It initially appears as a slow, insidious process which many don't see since they're simply living day-to-day. UNTIL spec condo developments pop up like Island Crossings, Harbor Square, Vineyard Lane or Seabreeze (now blocking the view of Eagle Harbor) or whatever is going in across from the Marge Williams Center.

Of course, those planning to make short-term bucks off the initial spike love it. Yet, as one young Realtor on Orcas Island told me, "Yes, I see what we're doing and what's happening here. Once it's all gone, I'll be moving, too!" (In 1983, Orcas Island had a population of about 1,400. Two years later, it advertised itself in Sunset Magazine and in handful of years doubled it's population. It is now "mandated" by the Growth Management Act to plan for a population equal to its county seat in Friday Harbor).

I implore Lewis, Griffin and Dwyer to reconsider their thinking. I know they're in the business of "moneymaking," yet that fundamental view of reality sits squarely at the root of erosion of "latest unspoiled paradises" across the planet. Why is it we keep doing the same thing everywhere we go? Is it because we have yet to reveal a different purpose for commerce ... and for why we are here?

My hope is that BI and Kitsap County could save themselves from its most certain future given our existing context for commerce. Too, that we will come together to "redefine" what we think commerce is about — and from this create a much healthier purpose and set of priorities for how we live.

There is a point in any community which when it crosses a certain line, it has begun to irrevocably lose itself. BI has not only changed drastically from what it used to be (and what many still "market" it as). It has finally brought itself to the threshold upon which it must now make a foundational change — or forever lose itself into yet another Carmel, Mercer Island, Issaquah, etc. I know the money-changers love that growth curve — yet it comes at a tragic price.

I would hope the entire population of our city government, downtown merchants, Realtor-developers and tourism promoters brought themselves to view "An Inconvenient Truth" while it was here. I imagine that's unrealistic thinking on my part, however.

Whereas most English language sub-typing schemes for dyslexia (e.g., Castles & Coltheart, 1993) have focused on reading accuracy for words varying in regularity, such an approach may have limited utility for reading disability sub-typing beyond English in which fluency rather than accuracy is the key discriminator of developmental and individual differences in reading ability. The present study investigated the viability of an accuracy/fluency-based typology in a regular orthography, pointed Hebrew. We sought evidence of true or "hard" accuracy/rate subtypes in the strict (double dissociation) sense of selective impairment on only one dimension in the presence of normal levels of performance on the other dimension. In a nationally representative sample of fourth graders, we were able to identify a specific accuracy-disabled sub-group as well as an equally specific rate-disabled subgroup. Validating this subdivision, we show that the nature of reading performance in these subgroups and their converging cognitive/linguistic profiles are unique and distinctive on variables other than the measures used to define them. While the rate-specific disability appeared to reflect a general deficit in speed of processing affecting reading rate, and rapid automatized naming of print-related material, the accuracy-only disability subgroup displayed selective deficits in phonological awareness and morphological knowledge. Biosocial, demographic, and instructional factors, furthermore, did not explain the sub-group differences. It appears that both these subtypes are equally prevalent each counting close to 10% of the population.

Lafayette boys stay winless with loss to Ripley
After struggling in New Albany on Friday night, the Lafayette High boys and girls basketball teams were hoping to bounce back against division foe Ripley on Tuesday. It was not to be as the Tigers swept the Commodores inside the Lafayette High gym. (January 14, 2015, Page 6, 7)
LHS sweeps Cleveland, Amory over weekend
After not having a match for 16 days, the Lafayette High boys and girls soccer teams played three in the span of five days and won them all. Coming off their Division 3-4A opening wins against Senatobia Tuesday night, the Commodores swept division foes Cleveland on Friday night then took both matches against Amory on Saturday at William L. Buford Stadium. (January 11, 2015, Page 4B)
LHS soccer sweeps Senatobia in division openers
Lafayette High's boys and girls soccer teams had not played a match since Dec. 20. The two week-plus break played no effect on them as they swept their Division 3-4A opening matches against Senatobia at William L. Buford Stadium on Tuesday. (January 7, 2015, Page 1B)
ALL-AREA FOOTBALL: Phillips hits stride to run up record season for Chargers
Oxford coach Johnny Hill isn't all that surprised by what his running back was able to do on the football field this season. Not after seeing what he did when he wasn't necessarily the go-to guy. No tailback in school history has run for more yards than Kenzie Phillips did this fall. In just his second season as a full-time starter, the junior set a record with 1,737 yards. His 29 rushing touchdowns are also a new single-season record, breaking his own mark of 24 set just last season. His performance makes him this year's EAGLE Player of the Year. Phillips is the third straight Charger to earn the distinction. (December 23, 2014, Page 1B, 3B)
Florence hands Lady 'Dores first loss
Lafayette High's girls soccer team knew it was going to be tested this weekend in the Oxford Showcase and that its perfect record could be in danger of falling. One of those tests came from the Florence Lady Eagles, who handed the Lady Commodores their first loss of the season by the score of 5-3 Saturday morning at FNC Park. Lafayette's boys team went 1-1-1 for the Weekend. (December 21, 2014, Page 4B)
Oxford moves to 11-0 with rout of 'Dores
Once Oxford's boys basketball team stopped thinking and started playing, there wasn't much Lafayette could do to slow the Chargers down. Oxford turned an early seesaw affair into a rout by turning smothering defense into instant offense in an 80-42 victory over the rival Commodores at the Oxford High gym on Friday night that kept the Chargers unbeaten. Their 11-0 record matches the best start to a season in coach Drew Tyler's 18-year tenure. Lafayette High's girls team beat the Lady Chargers 50-47 (December 21, 2014, Page 1B, 2B)
Area soccer teams set for annual Oxford Showcase
Rain or shine, high school teams statewide are going to get in plenty of soccer this weekend in Oxford and the surrounding area. Oxford High School is set to welcome more than 20 schools and 40 teams to town today for the second annual Oxford Showcase. The varsity squads for Oxford and Lafayette as well as some junior varsity teams will compete in the event, which will conclude on Saturday. (December 19, 2014, Page 6, 7)
ALL-AREA VOLLEYBALL: Family, all-around game help serve up POY honor for 'Dores' Robinson
The holiday season is a time to be thankful. For Lafayette High's Emily Robinson, it is a time for her to be thankful for family because if it was not for a particular family member showing her the sport of volleyball, she probably would not be this year's EAGLE Player of the Year. (December 17, 2014, Page 1B)
'Dores' Pate inks with Meridian CC
The second time proved to be a charm for Abbey Pate. The senior forward for Lafayette High's girls soccer team had a choice to make when it came to continuing her career on the pitch. Pate earned scholarship offers from Northwest Mississippi Community College, Itawamba Community College and Meridian Community College. (December 16, 2014, Page 6)
Oxford routs MA for 10-0 start
The Oxford boys basketball team used a familiar formula to run its win total to double digits Saturday night. The Chargers turned their pressurized defense into runouts and knocked down shots inside and out in their half-court offense to improve to 10-0 with a 69-40 rout of Marshall Academy in the final game of the "O" Town Showdown at the Oxford High gym. Lafayette lost both of its game in the "O" Town Showdown. (December 14, 2014, Page 4B)

Very well-done, classy POV release with extra appeal for smoking fetishists.
The sexy, attractive, classy, cleanly designed box cover sets the tone. The DVD menu , well designed and appealing, continues the mood. A perfect prelude to the great sex found within.
Through director/performer Endicot's eyes, six top-shelf, beautiful women share their sexuality. It's seemless to imagine oneself in the scene as they talk to us, play with themselves for us, smoke their cigarettes, and suck and fuck us silly. This is POV done right.
The threesome POV scene featuring Trinity and Roxy is simply inspired. The rest of the scenes are just as hot. No gapes or slapping here. Instead, it's a celebration of women who love to fuck. We approve.

TOS Romulan Uniforms: leg distortion
I love the new Romulan TOS uniforms except for one major glitch on the female uniform.
When the uniform skirt is applied the upper thighs distort and become too skinny creating a very bizarre looking gap between the upper thighs right below the skirt. If you switch back and forth at the tailor from pants to the skirt you can see how the thigh model becomes too straight and skinny... it is as though something were wedging them apart ruining the look. I'd love it if you could fix that, every time I look at my Romulan Captain on the ground or the login screen it bugs the daylights out of me and kills the aesthetics.
The only other minor issue on the Romulan uniforms has to do with the sash and shirt, if you want to try and match the sash to the right half of the shirt it is almost impossible to match colors, you can get close but not exact.
Otherwise they are an excellent addition to the game! :)

My experience with this game lead me to believe that any deaths during the Monster Challenges, whether to you play them in between levels or from the main screen menu,
do not
go towards your totals deaths during a chapter or for the whole game.
There are other posts on this forum that contradict what I've posted, but I know there were some challenges that I did over and over again to get gold. I did so in between levels, not from the main menu, and lost a good number of lives in those challenges. When I finished the game, I got the achievement for losing less than 10 lives during the course of story mode, something I shouldn't have gotten if the Monster Challenge deaths added into the Story Mode total.
This is not conclusive, so proceed at your own risk. Personally, I'd be pissed if I had to play through the story mode on this game twice. Not that the game is horrible, far from it. Just not a story mode I'd have fun doing a second time around.

Re: Jerusalem to Haifa?
Depends where in Haifa but, assuming the usual places, I would take the number 480 bus (direct, nonstop) from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv (Arlozorov bus terminal) and then the train from Tel Aviv to Haifa. If you must leave Jerusalem during the morning rush hour, I would take the Jerusalem-Haifa bus. There are other options, but I think these are the most practical.

Re: Jerusalem to Haifa?
Ramot has answered your question exactly.
The only thing I would add is that if you have lots 'n lots of time, the train ride from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv is nice. You travel through the hills and it is just lovely - but slow. You will still have to change trains in Tel Aviv for the Haifa train.

Nine central kitchens affected in Puducherry
For the second time in the last two months, strike by daily-rated and part-time workers affected work at nine central kitchens in Puducherry which supply noon meals to government schools. The Education Department put in place alternative arrangements to avoid disruption in providing noon meal to students.
Workers of various government departments launched a strike from Tuesday demanding regularisation. The Education Department came out with alternative arrangements and roped in members of self-help groups, professional cooks and meal carriers at the central kitchens.
"Except the one at Thondamanatham, all kitchens functioned on Tuesday. Bread was distributed to government schools surrounding the Thondamanatham kitchen," a senior official of the Education Department said.
On Wednesday, all nine kitchens functioned with SHGs, meal carriers and professional cooks engaged in cooking. "There were 170 part-time workers and 40 daily-rated working at the central kitchens," he said.
The department plans to continue with the same arrangements on Thursday. The central kitchens located at Kuruchikuppam, Shanmugapuram, Pillaichavady, Ariyankuppam, Kirumampakkam, Kalmandapam, Embalam, Villianur and Thondamanatham catered for 82,000 students, he said.
The workers earlier went on a strike on February 3, when members of various organisations chipped in to cook for the students. With the strike resuming, representatives of People's Pulse and PondyCAN met the Chief Education Officer on Wednesday.
"We have suggested that a meeting of education committees and parent-teacher associations of all schools is convened. We are ready to volunteer to take up the work along with the members of these committees and associations," P. Devanathan of People's Pulse said.
Call for permanent mechanism
The representatives also called for a permanent mechanism in times of such crises so that the noon meal scheme is not affected.
P. Lakshmanaswamy, general secretary of Pondicherry State Government Employees Central Federation, said that about 1,500 daily-rated workers and 1,000 part-time workers from various government departments were on strike.
"The Chief Minister had earlier assured us that they will fulfil the demands of the workers by March 15 but no action was taken," he said.

The sex was great, but the plunking is what really got me off!
by Lil Miss Red April 19, 2010
Plunking is the bizarre, very new fetish where a man, over a great deal of time and practice, stretches out his scrotum skin to the approximate size of a small poncho, and wraps it around another person to keep them warm.
"Carl decided to treat his lover Fernando to a special experience for their fourth anniversary. Tonight, he would perform Plunking on his hot Latin lover, and envelope him in the warm, veiny poncho of their love."

This jacket is perfect! I tried 5 other jackets for my 6 month old before buying this one which I love! It is incredibly warm without all of the bulk, which works perfectly for buckling her in her car seat. I love that it doesn't have a hood as that would also make the car seat uncomfortable. I found it runs pretty true to size. I have an average-sized 6 month old and the 6-12 month size is just a little bit big, but not so big that she is swimming in it. I paired it with the Patagonia Baby Shelled Hat which then covers her head down to the neck, making up for the fact that there isn't a hood (and the hat is much better :) ). All in all, I think it's the best jacket for cold weather -- which we see plenty of in MN and now my daughter is all set!
Absolutely love these down sweaters. I have been wearing mine (in an adult size) year-round for seven years, both by itself and under other jackets. It's beaten up and a bit thinner than it used to be, but still functional and in one piece. We bought one for our daughter last summer and she has worn it for the past year. It is pricey for a kid's jacket, but a quality item that will likely be passed on to several more kids. We have bought another one in the next size up. I think the jackets are sized accurately. My daughter is a little bit on the small side, just turned 2, and can still just fit into the 18-month size.
I love this jacket! My daughter is 13 months, 28 or 29 inches tall and weighs almost 21 lbs. I read reviews on different sites to effect that Patagonia products run large so bought a 6 mos and 12 mos. The winter will begin soon here in WI but won't end for at least 7 months so would love this jacket to fit all year and maybe next fall. The 6 mos fit snugly and almost didn't zip with a thin shirt underneath but the sleeves and jacket length were fine. My daughter has a little round belly though. The 12 month fit with room to wear layers underneath. The sleeves are tight at the end so it is fine if they are a bit long. It was a little wide but I would rather her have room to grow. The zipper is nice quality and has a cover at the top to protect her chin. The jacket is so soft but not too puffy so she should be comfortable and safe in the car seat. I have similar jackets and although it doesn't look very thick, I believe the down will keep her toasty warm!

Sam Sexton says he will win the British heavyweight title for his mum. The Norwich puncher meets champion Derek Chisora on September 18 at the LG Arena, Birmingham on Frank Warren's huge Magnificent Seven show, live on Sky Box Office. It's all part of Frank Warren's Magnificent Seven card with a stunning nine title fights. In May, Sexton was supposed to fight then title holder Danny Williams. But he was forced to pull out of the West Ham show when mum Mandy suffered an aneurysm. Fortunately she is now recovering, but Sexton spent weeks by her bedside at hospital..
"I'll dedicate the victory to my mum when I beat Chisora," said Sexton.
"She's my biggest fan, always has been, always will be.
"Beating Chisora will give her such a lift."
Sexton fought Del Boy two years ago, but was stopped late on in a six rounder.
But he believes he is now a much-improved fighter.
"It's like comparing chalk and cheese," he said.
"I wasn't living the life back then. After getting beat by Chisora I grew up a lot, and took a long hard look in the mirror.
"I knuckled down and you could see the difference when I beat Martin Rogan twice.
"The first fight was close, the second I was by far the better man. I'm improving every time I step in the ring and you are going to see that when I fight Chisora."
Tickets for the Magnificent Seven are priced at £40, £50, £80, £150 and £200 and are available from:

Matthew Macklin and Darren Barker promised a thrilling fight to live up to the big stage they have been given by promoter Frank Warren
The pair meet in a European middleweight title clash on September 18 at the LG Arena, Birmingham
It's all part of the Magnificent Seven event - which actually features nine championship fights - that forms part of a big night of boxing live and exclusive on Sky Box Office.
And it is heading for a 13,000 sell out.
"This fight was scheduled for two years ago, but I'm glad it didn't happen then," said Macklin on the first of a two-city press tour taking in London and Birmingham.
"It would have been good but it would have gone on in a leisure centre somewhere.
"Now it is for a bigger belt and it's going to be at the LG Arena, one of the biggest arenas in the country. It was 20 years ago that Benn and Eubank fought there at middleweight.
"This is just as big a fight and can be just as good."
Barker added: "I've been preparing for a fight like this ever since I turned professional.
"I'm glad I've got it because it will be a defining fight for me. I might have the British, Commonwealth and European titles, but I'm not the number one middleweight in the country.
"I will be when I beat Macklin.
"He's a great fighter but I think although we are both 28, I am a fresher 28. He's had some hard fights and that is going to be a problem when he fights me."
Warren, who marks his 30th year in boxing with one of his most ambitious cards, said much was at stake for both men.
"Whoever wins is probably going to fight for a world title," he said.

Mathematics student and European Light-Heavyweight Champion Nathan Cleverly collected the first of two titles he aims to secure in 2010.
Cleverly, 23, became a BSc in Mathematics at Cardiff University yesterday - and also intends to add "world champion" to his name before the year is out.
Cleverly, from Phillipstown in South Wales, has been juggling full-time study with the disciplines of professional boxing for the past four years. He retains a 19-win unbeaten record and has won British, European and Commonweath light-heavyweight titles - while also getting to grips with Stochastic Models and Fluid Dynamics.
Nathan, who graduated with a 2:2 at a University ceremony at Cardiff's St David's Hall said: "I have always tried to make the most of my opportunities - whether it is an exam or a fight. My tutors at Cardiff have been very good about giving me the time I needed for boxing - and likewise, my trainers have understood the demands of undergraduate study.
"These years at Cardiff University have been the best of my life. I have no regrets about combining boxing and mathematics - they have both given me a tremendous amount."
With the degree safely in the bag, Nathan moves on to his next challenge- fighting unbeaten German Karo Murat, in an Eliminator for the WBO Light-Heavyweight title in Birmingham on September 18. The fight, promoted by Frank Warren at the LG Arena, could taken Nathan one step closer to his second dream - a world title.

In popular accounts of the U.S. Civil War, you probably won't come across many-if any-references to U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Edward Hastings Ripley. The Rutland-born veteran became a general at age 25, and along with Gen. George Armstrong Custer, was among the nation's youngest generals appointed during the War Between the States.
In 1862, Ripley responded to President Lincoln's call for 300,000 fresh volunteers to fight in the bloody civil struggle; he doggedly recruited local soldiers under the banner of the Ninth Vermont Volunteers, and became captain to the men when they trained south.
Ripley was born in downtown Rutland in 1839. His father, William Young Ripley, owned a large estate in town-known as "The Center"-and was both founder of the Rutland County National Bank and a Rutland County industrial marble pioneer.
General Ripley's older brother, William Y.W. Ripley, joined the Army as a captain in the opening months of the war. William was with the first Vermont volunteers to head to war under the banner of the Rutland Lightguard-the state's first responders. Young Edward, a medical student at Union College in New York in 1861, couldn't wait to join up despite his mother's protests.
Eventually, the Ripleys supported Edward's call-to-service even after their elder son William was badly wounded at the Battle of Malvern Hill in Virginia.
Between his enlistment in 1862 and his discharge at war's end in 1865, Gen. Ripley narrowly escaped death on several occasions. He endured internal demons while a paroled prisoner at the Union's Camp Douglas in Chicago, Ill., after the unheroic surrender of Harper's Ferry. Oddly, Confederates couldn't handle their Yankee prisoners at Harper's Ferry and were thus paroled to the Union as part of a "prisoner exchange" with federal troops.
Despite the Harper's Ferry debacle, Ripley was quick to gain valor and a brevet-general appointment. He saw fierce combat at the capture of Fort Harrison and at the repulse at Fort Gilmer; he was also among the first Union soldiers to enter the defeated Confederate stronghold of Richmond, Va.

As of Thursday, May 23, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
Atlanta Braves right-hander Brandon Beachy is slated to make a minor league injury rehab start for the Gwinnett Braves on Friday at Coolray Field for a 7:05 p.m. game against the Toledo Mud Hens.
Beachy, on Atlanta's disabled list as he recovers from 2012 Tommy John surgery, was added to the Gwinnett roster by Atlanta on May 19 and was supposed to start that night against the Louisville Bats, but the game was postponed by rain. The 26-year-old has yet to pitch in a live game on his rehab stint.
Beachy suffered a partial tear of his ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow on June 16, 2012. He exited Atlanta's game against Baltimore after 3.2 innings and was placed on the disabled list following the game. He underwent successful Tommy John surgery on June 21, 2012, performed by Dr. James Andrews.
Prior to his June 16 start, Beachy was tied for the Major League lead with a 1.98 ERA (17 ER in 77.1 IP) and led the Majors with a .171 opponent batting average. In 13 games with the Braves last year, he went 5-5 with a 2.00 ERA (18 ER in 81.0 IP). In 41 career Major League starts, he's 12-10 with a 3.07 ERA (81 ER in 237.2 IP).
Beachy joins Gwinnett for the first time since 2011, when he pitched once on a minor league rehab assignment (1-0, 1.80 ERA). Including eight games, seven starts with the G-Braves in 2010, he's a career 3-0 with a 2.13 ERA (12 ER in 50.2 IP) in nine games, eight starts with the Braves' Class AAA affiliate.
Beachy is set to be the sixth player on Atlanta's 40-man roster to play for Gwinnett as part of a minor league injury rehab assignment this year.
Shortstop Paul Janish (left shoulder surgery, rehab stints from April 15-24 and May 3-10), first baseman Freddie Freeman (strained right oblique, three-game stint from April 19-21), catcher Brian McCann (right shoulder surgery, three-game stint from May 2-5) and outfielder Jason Heyward (appendectomy, six-game stint from May 9-16) have all completed rehab assignments with Gwinnett. Right-hander Luis Ayala (anxiety disorder) also spent two games on his recent rehab stint with the G-Braves from May 8-14.

The Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC) diet can lower cholesterol. This diet is recommended
by the National Cholesterol Education Program of the U.S. National Institutes
of Health.1
People have
varying degrees of success in lowering their cholesterol by changing their diets. Those who are most successful using diet changes
to lower their cholesterol are those who lose excess weight. Diet changes are
usually the first step in lowering cholesterol before medicines are
The diet's main focus is to reduce the amount of saturated fat you
eat, because saturated fat elevates your cholesterol. You can reduce the
saturated fat in your diet by limiting the amount of meat and whole milk products you
eat. Choose low-fat products from those food groups instead. Replace most of
the animal fat in your diet with unsaturated fat, especially monounsaturated
oils, such as olive, canola, or peanut oil. If monounsaturated fat is substituted for
saturated fat, it lowers
LDL ("bad") cholesterol and keeps
HDL ("good") cholesterol up.
For more information, see:
The TLC diet recommends that you eat specific amounts of different types of foods. These amounts are sometimes a percentage of your total calorie intake for each day.
Avoid trans fat. Foods with trans fats include some vegetable shortening, crackers, cookies, and packaged snack foods.
Lean meat, poultry, fish, dry beans, and dry
No more than 5 ounces total a day
No more than 2 yolks a week

Your doctor or dietitian might recommend that you add soluble fiber or a cholesterol-lowering margarine to your diet. These might help you lower LDL cholesterol. Soluble fiber is found in foods like oats, beans, and fruit. Cholesterol-lowering margarines contain plant stanols and sterols.

Sand-like Or Grainy Stools
Posted 21 July 2006 - 01:34 PM
I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this with their children. There is not much I could find online about it.
Thanks for any info you all can provide!

I think mine were that way. Not sure what you're describing. Mine sort of "fell apart" in the toilet sometimes. Very strange looking.
I know that Ella's stools used to be like this (pre gluten-free diet), so maybe this is just my kids, but can it be due to gluten? I have the feeling that ds got into something because he has been having diarrhea again for days. It is also very sandy or grainy in consistency and it is making his little bottom RAW. He is miserable.

We don't have a sandbox and they have not been around one, so I know that's not what it is.
No doctor that we have brought this up with has been able to help us.
Just wondering if anyone on here had experienced it.
Thanks for your help!

Maybe my kiddos are just weird. I do have to get a new prescription diaper rash cream for ds though. His little bottom is now bleeding from the diarrhea. I've never seen a diaper rash this bad before and I feel so badly for him.

ok. I've just spent almost an hour looking online for information about sandy or grainy stools and have found pretty much NOTHING!!!
Maybe my kiddos are just weird. I do have to get a new prescription diaper rash cream for ds though. His little bottom is now bleeding from the diarrhea. I've never seen a diaper rash this bad before and I feel so badly for him.
When I felt I had been glutened, had D, I also felt like my stools had acid in them. Left me very sore!! Was rather painful, that was when I tried to drink extra water. Is your child celiac? I know it is hard to keep them from eating all gluten free if others want to give them a treat. Hope for a better day for you and family. evie

I have done searches on it too, and have found other people asking about it, but no answers. I've seen it described as grainy, seedy, sandy or cornmeal-like. Somehow it wouldn't be so disturbing if it wasn't so hard to get it off their little bottoms.
With my son, I've noticed that it happens when he gets dairy, with the raw rash going with it. Dairy intolerance can be a symptom of celiac.

Sometimes I do wonder about dairy, but he eats yogurt and cheese with no problem. He seems to have a hard time with cow's milk though and usually drinks soy.
Again, thanks for your help!
My kids are both gluten free although they may or may not have celiac. My dd was tested through enterolab and was positive for gluten intolerance. My ds had celiac testing and it was negative. However, once on the gluten-free diet his "toddler diarrhea" cleared up and he was much healthier. We think he got glutened and that is why he is having diarrhea again right now.

Can I get too much iron?
There is a condition in which the liver gets overloaded with iron, but this is extremely rare in healthy reproductive-age women. The most common iron-related problem in pregnancy is that taking two or three 325 mg iron supplements a day can cause abdominal cramping, dark green and grainy stools, and constipation. The body only can absorb the equivalent of two supplements at most, so taking any more is not helpful--and very hard on the digestive system. Even the small amount of iron in a prenatal vitamin can cause some women to become constipated; conversely, some actually get diarrhea from iron.

No, my son is no longer breastfed. We stopped right at a year old and he will be 2 in November. My daughter also had this symptom before going gluten free when she was between the ages of 2-3.
I hope we find some answers. It sure is weird!
Thanks again,
