CONYERS - A 20-year-old man was arrested by the Rockdale County Sheriff's Office on Wednesday for allegedly selling LSD and other hallucinogens baked into duck-shaped, chocolate candy.Matthew Jackson, 20, of 1245 Smith Store Road, Covington, was being held in the Rockdale County Jail on Thursday as he awaited a bond hearing. He is charged with the sale of LSD, sale of psilocin, the active ingredient in psilocybin mushrooms, and possession with intent to distribute psilocin, said RCSO Sgt. Matt Wolfe, of the Sheriff's Office Narcotics and Vice Unit. According to the Sheriff's Office, investigators received information of Jackson selling hallucinogens in Newton and Rockdale counties. With the help from a confidential informant RCSO Narcotics and Vice Unit deputies placed Jackson under surveillance. The arrest was made when investigators observed a "hand-to-hand" transaction allegedly between Jackson and an unidentified subject at a local grocery store. Wolfe said the unit's investigation found Jackson had allegedly sold a blotter sheet of LSD and a chocolate candy duck containing Psilocybin Mushrooms for $650 cash. Jackson's vehicle was searched following his arrest and 74 psilocybin-laced chocolate candy ducks were found in a cooler bag, Wolfe said. LSD, short for lysergic acid diethylamide, is a psychedelic drug that is uncommon in Rockdale County. Psilocybin-based hallucinogens, such as mushrooms, are even more rare here, Wolfe said. "This was my first encounter with psilocybin/chocolate candies and, in fact, my first encounter with psilocybin mushrooms," he said. "I have read about cases in other parts of the country, like Michigan and California, where chocolate and mushrooms were mixed. The usual chocolate shapes are stars, fish and ducks." The chocolate ducks containing the drugs were wrapped in silver and gold foil and appeared to be nothing but candy, Wolfe said. A crushed sample of the chocolate revealed a large amount of finely ground mushroom-like material mixed into the chocolate. Wolfe said Jackson claimed to be unemployed and a citizen of South Africa. However, $1,200 in cash was recovered from his pants pocket at the time of his arrest. Jay Jones can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Thinking Cap on
There are plenty of questions, but does Fabio Capello have the answers? Jamie Redknapp hopes so...Back to story
Comments (31)
Wayne Jenkins (Leeds United fan) says...
So Rooney went on record after the match to complain that the English fans booed the team off the pitch after an abysmal 90 odd minutes of amateur team football. It's amazing that he heard the booing but failed to hear the tremendous support of the fans during the match, singing the National Anthem with pride, above the noise of the Vuvuzela horns! The team lacked pride and commitment and should catch the next plane home before they bring any more shame upon the country.

Lee The makem (Sunderland fan) says...
Well, where do England go from here?? A nill nill with Algeria....Fabio seems far to stubborn to change the formation. Playing players like Gerrard and Rooney on the left wing, is not working. no wunder all of the players are walking arount with there heads down. Rooney should have came off long before the 90, He just was not at the race tonight. The fans get behind the team, spend a fortune to go over and have to sit and watch that. Fabio, next team talk you do, just get the Carlsberg advert on in the dressing room!!! COME ON ENGLAND!!!!!!!

Matt Elston (Manchester United fan) says...
In my opinion England showed next to no effort tonight, rooney was a joke, giving the ball away more often than he passed it to his own team. The team as a whole showed no cohesion at all instead looking more similar to headless chickens running around a field instead of professional footballers. They were outplayed by Algeria at every encounter and showed none of the flair we have come to expect from them, which needless to say left the fans watching a far from stellar match. Capello needed to change the team up more throughout the game instead of allowing the team to become stagnant and boring, there was no passion, no excitement and i for one was completly bored watching the game tonight.

Matt Tarn (Nottingham Forest fan) says...
England line up Hart,Johnson,Dawson,Terry, A. Cole, Lampard, Gerrard, Barry, Lennon, J. Cole, Rooney, standard 4.5.1 with Lampard and Gerrard alternating attack mode. However, I beleive that Green and Heskey will start. Its a shame because England could win this world cup as we have the golden generation with the likes of Rooney etc. Maybe im wrong??

Harry Willetts (West Bromwich Albion fan) says...
there is not much wrong with the england team, the first match against the usa was very tight which you would expect from the yanks,the match against algeria should be easy and against slovenia,both teams are crap so capello should make one change only for both matches bring in gareth barry for milner and make it an attacking 4-3-3, england should win both matches 2-0ther should be no excuses.

Sony Bal (Arsenal fan) says...
Play Rooney up top, with Gerrard and Lampard playing off him! Barry behing them two, joe cole on the left, and lennan on the right and then of course 4 in defence. There is no other way in which we will get the best out of what can simply be our best players.

come on guys Today's night will be the night of England.Believe me England will win Algeria at least with three goal difference.

Ben Smith (Chelsea fan) says...
at the moment this is a very difficult situation, i do believe with the squad we have got in South Africa we can win the world cup but sacrifices are going to have to be made. everybody expected us to beat the USA we did'nt, tonight we need to put things right, there is no margin for error. my line up for tonight would be: Green, Terry, A Cole, Carragher, Johnson, Lampard, J Cole, Gerrard, A Lennon, Gareth Barry and Wayne Rooney up front on his own with support from Stevie G, Lampard and J Cole. if we cant beat Algeria then we will not beat anybody. i think england should win quite comfortably tonight i say 3-0 to the three lions. COME ON ENGLAND WE CAN GO ALL THE WAY DO IT FOR . LET HSITORY REPEAT ITSELF, LETS DO IT FOR BOBBY MOORE AND BOBBY ROBSON. TOGETHER AS A UNITED FRONT WE CAN DO IT.

Paul Watts (Liverpool fan) says...
I think Joe Hart should be first choice Rob Green has made mistakes all season David James has had his day Joe Hart has been one of the best keepers in the prem this season give him a chance. Id also start Joe Cole and push Gerrard behind Rooney
Posted 11:20 18th June 2010
Mark Said (Liverpool fan) says...
I think that at this crucial stage of the tournament we should stop to criticize Capello, especially when this is done in an unfair manner. Capello has a job to be done, and he alone can ably handle it. Let us not be armchair critics. He is in full command, knows what he is doing and what has to be done. That's why the FA engaged him in the first place! Let us place our full trust in him....eventually he will deliver the goods, you wait and see! Mark Said from MALTA.
Posted 09:59 18th June 2010
Carl Ravenscroft (Manchester United fan) says...
Fabio please start with this team tonight as a 4-3-3: Green, Johnson, Carragher, Terry, A Cole, Gerrard, Barry, Lampard, Lennon, Rooney, J Cole. i think Green deserves another chance coz if we drop him then his confidense will be low plus we could off got beat off the USA if it wasnt for his important save to make up for his mistake. COME ON ENGLAND! WE CAN WIN IT!
Posted 07:58 18th June 2010
Mark White (Tottenham Hotspur fan) says...
I think the team, when playing to players strengths, almost picks itself! a 4,41,1, formation with Rooney upfront, Gerrard just behind is the same at club level. Lampard and Barry in the middle with Joey Cole and Aaron Lennen on the wings, Johnson-Terry-Dawson- Cole make up the defence and maybe Joe Hart in goal! I don't like predicting England games, so I won't! but I do think with this team we have the best chance of winning!
Posted 06:35 18th June 2010
Peter Cheng (Liverpool fan) says...
Why is it that some of you (and maybe Capello) still want Rob Green to play when there are two much more reliable goalkeepers in Joe Hart and David James? I've been watching Green playing for some years and this is surely not his first howler. How many dreadful mistakes does he need to make before he gets axed? He can't even catch a ball that my mrs. can (as Jamie's father once quoted). One more schoolboy error and England will be going on the first plane home. Come on, Capello, please have Joe in goal!
Posted 05:53 18th June 2010
Jon Doran (Everton fan) says...
100% agree with your line-up, and the formation might force the team to play on the ground instead of long-ball and hope for the best. For the life of me I dont understand how Heskey is in the squad, let alone first team! I understand he gives it his all but the man just doesn't do it in an England shirt. Can any team with aspirations of winning the World Cup really afford to carry a striker who just doesn't hit the back of the net? In terms of defence, I dont really see any need to panic, there's more than enough talent there which means, for me at least, sticking with Green is the way to go. He is a decent keeper but unfortunately had a nightmare, which we've seen from every goaly in the world once or twice. Dont drop him for one mistake, besides .... do you really want James in goal? I honestly believe that the rest of the team would be nervous with him there which would be a disaster ... long-ball inevitably.

Steven Bergg (Leeds United fan) says...
If you're born in old blighty, You wear three lions on your chest, And we all swear to the Almighty, Our National team's the best. We once took home the big one, Way back in sixty-six, But since then there has been none, Our dreams are always nixed. The memories they are steeped in pain, Like when we outplayed the Krout's, I hate to re-live the penalties again, Great team.. came away with NOUT! It was the same against the Portuguese, And Argentina too, No more shoot-outs please, I can't stand to watch... can you? And I certainly don't wanna, Discuss what the cheater got, The hand of Maradona, If I ran FIFA... he'd be shot! Remember the lead against Brazil? God bless you Michael Owen, But we sat back and it came to nil, Home early we were goin'. Every sad and bitter memory, All the glory that could have been, Those thoughts curse men like you and me, That hang on to the dream. Not old enough to recall, The legendary win, Will we live to see us take it all, Or continue suffering? I have to believe we suffer long, So that when our moment arrives, As we sing the victory song, It will be the sweetest of our lives. Brazilians will never know the joy, That follows agony, They win too often those samba boys, It means so much more to me. So stand up all my English Friends, Let's toast... raise aloft your beer, Here's to the pain soon coming to an end... Because I think...THIS IS OUR YEAR!

Danny Bunny (Manchester United fan) says...
I have a feeling it will be a night to remember, do you remember the trashing of Germany in Munich by England 5-1?! I have a feeling Algeria might beat England probably with a heavy score, and make england position simply untenable. Get ready for a big surprise tomorrow night.
Posted 01:40 18th June 2010
Greg Bishop (Wycombe Wanderers fan) says...
I'd like to agree with you Jamie, but I'm painfully aware of just how much Wayne Rooney has struggled on his own up front for England before. It works with Man Utd because he gets the service, and he sees lots of the ball, but whether because England's service is not as good, or just because international football is a different game, he comes looking for it, in essence turning us into a 4-6-0. I'd rather we stuck with 4-4-2 - or possibly go for 3-5-2, dropping Lennon. Capello has to do what he's there to do: make tough decisions. Ideally, drop Lampard to the bench - he was woeful against the USA, and bring in Barry. Put Joe Cole on the left hand side, and (preferably from my point of view) play Crouch up front. (Crouch rarely contributes when coming off the bench, and yet almost always scores when he starts - plus his link up play is usually better than Heskey's, even if he isn't as mobile. And with Lampard on the bench, if things aren't going great, you'll have someone coming on with something to prove.
Posted 00:55 18th June 2010
Jeremy C (Manchester United fan) says...
I used to think like that - what formation England should play. Then I realised that sometimes how England plays depends on what the other teams do. England is not just a one-formation team. Capello probably already has a few options in mind. Against Algeria, which would most likely "park the bus" in front of goal and pack the midfield, England would need numbers up front. Whether in the form of 2 strikers or attacking midfielders, it remains to be seen...
Posted 00:47 18th June 2010
Kevin Smith (Manchester United fan) says...
People saying that it could be 2-0 or even a 1-0 nailbiter!?Come on!This is Algeria!We (Republic of Ireland) beat them comfortably 3-0 a couple of weeks ago,was an easy game.England should play without fear and win this easily.I'd go 4-5-1 if I was Capello or at least if your gonna play 4-4-2 put in Crouch.No team with Heskey in the starting 11 is ever gonna win the world cup.
Posted 00:28 18th June 2010
Dean Atkinson (Tottenham Hotspur fan) says...
Heskey was only in there to let Rooney play, where was Rooney againsed the US ?. SWP on the left i don't think so, Milner was sick, King suspect , so much for Cappello's rules about being fit and playing well for your club. forget all this talk about formations , xmas tree 4-4-1-1 or whatever just play our best players and thats not Heskey, SWP, Milner or Green.

Tamaam is doing really well with our son. He loves his new job of walking next to the stroller and the hands free leash is fantastic. He has been nothing but gentle around the baby. It's wonderful to see! Thank you again for all your help and patience with Tamaam; he really has become a more settled dog and a real delight.
Sebastian and I have completed Basic and Intermediate courses as well as Agility. The basic training course was an excellent foundation to build on. It gave me structure and a good understanding of how to communicate with my dog. We practiced the commands during our daily walks and the results were very pleasing. The Intermediate course is where he really "got it". His focus on my expectations grew stronger and this truly made a huge impact on Sebastian's desire to learn and perform the commands promptly and with conviction.
The classes also improved Sebastian's attention span and distraction tendencies. Being around other dogs while training, helped to keep him focused on the commands I gave him. Now I feel comfortable with him off leash at the beach because he wants to be with me and responds to commands even though other dogs are around.
Thanks so much Nina.

Complex needs supported
Depression is a common mental health problem affecting approximately 15% of all individuals. The individual usually suffers from depressed mood, loss of interest and enjoyment, and reduced energy, leading to increased fatigability and diminished activity. Marked tiredness after only slight effort is common. The lowered mood varies little from day to day, and is often unresponsive to circumstances, yet may show a characteristic diurnal variation as the day goes on. Other common symptoms can include: reduced concentration and attention; reduced self-esteem and self-confidence; ideas of guilt and unworthiness; bleak and pessimistic views of the future; ideas or acts of self-harm or suicide; disturbed sleep; and diminished appetite.

With this gift of nature, Nature Conservancy magazine arrives all year long. Join
Enjoying the fountain at Cincinnati's Ault Park. Sheltering in the cool shade of Ash Cave in the Hocking Hills. Watching the butterflies at The Nature Conservancy's Kitty Todd Preserve near Toledo or catching the rays at Cleveland's Edgewater Park.
With summer in full swing, Ohio's natural areas are calling your name, inviting you to get outside and explore. While you're at it, take a photo – and you may win a new car.
The Nature Conservancy in Ohio and Honda announce the highly-anticipated summer Natural Treasures challenge that gives Buckeyes an opportunity to explore natural sites in Ohio as well as the chance to win a Honda Civic Hybrid. The challenge runs Aug. 1 – Sept. 30 (more information at nature.org/naturaltreasures).
The Nature Conservancy and Honda developed the Natural Treasures challenge as a way to help showcase some of Ohio's protected "hidden gems," and to encourage learning about different natural features of the state. Since 1958, the Conservancy has protected more than 60,000 acres of critical natural lands in Ohio.
"Natural Treasures highlights the diversity of our state's extraordinary natural areas, and it shows families that experiencing nature is closer and easier than you think, said Josh Knights, executive director of The Nature Conservancy in Ohio. "If Ohioans discover and come to know these areas, they'll be inspired to help us protect them."
It's as simple as taking a 'selfie'. For a chance to win, participants can visit one or more of some of Ohio's best natural areas and record their visit by taking a photo of themselves, then upload the photo to nature.org/naturaltreasures to enter the sweepstakes. Each time they visit a new site, they get another entry in the sweepstakes. Only one entry is allowed per site. Participants also may enter by showing off their Personal Natural Treasure by uploading a picture of themselves taken at their favorite place in nature. Only one entry of a personal natural treasure is allowed.
For the full list of the recommended sites in Ohio, participants can visit nature.org/naturaltreasures. One grand prize winner will receive the new Honda Civic Hybrid.
For example, Columbus residents can enter the sweepstakes by visiting Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park – 7,000 acres of prairies, fields and forests along more than 20 miles of the Big and Little Darby Creeks. Hike a trail or have a picnic, take a photo, submit to the website—you're entered!
While the sweepstakes is open only to residents 18 and older, Natural Treasures is still a great opportunity for families to enjoy nature. A recent Nature Conservancy/Walt Disney poll has demonstrated that parents across the country worry about getting their kids outside as much as they do about bullying, the quality of education and obesity. What's more, 82% of U.S. parents view spending time in nature as "very important" to their children's development – second only to reading as a priority. The message is clear: to parents, nature is not just "something to do," it is a crucial part of growth.
"Splash pads in the backyard are cool, but parents and grandparents can also throw some outdoor adventure into the mix this summer," Knights said. "Whether it's skipping stones into a river or studying animal tracks, having fun at a natural area can mean so much to young minds."
Get out and enjoy!
The Nature Conservancy is a leading conservation organization working around the world to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. The Conservancy and its more than 1 million members have protected nearly 120 million acres worldwide. Visit The Nature Conservancy on the Web at www.nature.org

Firefighters are working to suppress a wildfire burning more than 200 acres in the Jemez Mountains on Sunday.
The lightning-caused Diego Fire was first detected last Thursday around 13 miles east of Cuba, New Mexico, according to the State Forestry Division. The fire grew to approximately 200 acres in size over the weekend. On Sunday morning, a spot fire quickly grew to 30 acres in size and is expected to burn into the main fire later today.
Resources on scene include the Carson Hotshots, four engines and miscellaneous support personnel. Additional resources have been ordered to assist with the suppression effort, including the Northern New Mexico Type 3 Incident Management Team, three Type 1 Hotshot crews, one Type 2 Initial Attack crew, two helicopters, six engines and several water tenders.
Several structural protection engines have also been requested. Fire officials say the first of these resources will arrive Sunday evening and the remainder will be on scene early Monday.
Officials say no structures are threatened at this time.

"I think we are better served by understanding history, warts and all, because I think it gives us a better understanding of who we are as a people," James Horn said.
Owsley, who has also done forensic analysis for police investigations, examined the girl's remains and how the body had been dismembered, including chops to the front and back of the head. The girl was likely already dead at the time. There was a cultural stigma against killing someone for food.
But it was clear to Owsley immediately that there were signs of cannibalism.
"This does represent a clear case of dismemberment of the body and removing of tissues for consumption," he said.
It was the work of someone not skilled at butchering, Owsley said, indicating a sense of desperation.
The bones show a bizarre attempt to open the skull, he said. Animal brains and facial tissue were desirable meat in the 17th century.
The archaeologists are publishing their findings in a new book but decided against waiting to announce the discovery.
The human skull will be placed on display at Jamestown, and a sign will warn visitors of the room's content. At the Smithsonian, curators will display a computer-generated reconstruction of the girl's face in an exhibit about life at Jamestown.
Owsley said archaeology is helping to fill in details from a time when few records were kept - details that won't likely be found in history books.
Kelso, whose archaeology team discovered the bones, said the girl's bones will be displayed to help tell a story, not to be a spectacle. Through the remains, scientists traced her likely origin to the coast of Southern England.
"We found her in a trash dump, unceremoniously trashed and cannibalized, and now her story can be told," Kelso said. "People will be able to empathize with the time and history and think to themselves, as I do: What would I do to stay alive?"
At Jamestown, officials removed a large tarp covering the site where the remains were found for visitors to see. Tourists were told Wednesday of the discovery.
"Oh, wow," said Kim Reyes, who was on a field trip escorting fourth grade students from Alexandria, Va. "We all know the harsh conditions they were here in, but I didn't think it was that bad."
Pam Nagle's mouth dropped when she heard the announcement. The Charlottesville, Va., resident was visiting Jamestown with her children, ages 7 and 10, and her in-laws. Nagle said she had never heard any mention of cannibalism at Jamestown before.
"I was really curious whether it was pre- or post-mortem. I was really glad he said post-mortem," she said. "There was a level of desperation, but maybe perhaps it wasn't as severe as it could've been."

International Trade Commission (ITC) actions are virtually synonymous with patent litigation. When a company seeks to bar the importation of a competing product through the ITC, the grounds are almost always that the product infringes a U.S. patent.
But the ITC also can be a forum for trade secret actions, as was dramatically illustrated in the Federal Circuit's October 11, 2011, decision in Tianrui Group Ltd v. ITC.
In that action, the ITC barred the importation of a product after a Chinese company engaged in trade secret misappropriation in order to manufacture the product in mainland China. The plaintiff, a U.S. company, owned the trade secrets, and originally had disclosed them to a business partner in China. The defendant, a Chinese company, hired several employees from the business partner. Those employees then allegedly disclosed the U.S. company's trade secrets in order to make a competing product, which was the subject of the ITC complaint.

History and Origin
Gwendolen (/ˈɡwɛndɵlɨn/ GWEN-də-lin; from Welsh gwen, meaning "white, fair, blessed", and dolen, meaning "loop, link of a chain, ring, bow") is a feminine given name, in general use only since the 19th century.
It has come to be the standard English form of Latin Guendoloena, which was first used by Geoffrey of Monmouth as the name of a legendary British queen in his History of the Kings of Britain (c. 1138). He reused the name in his Life of Merlin (c. 1150) for a different character, the wife of the titular magician "Merlinus", a counsellor to King Arthur; the metre shows that Geoffrey pronounced it as a pentasyllable, Guĕndŏlŏēnă, with the "gu" pronounced /ɡw/. Dr. Arthur Hutson suggests that "Guendoloena" arose from a misreading of the old Welsh masculine name Guendoleu; Geoffrey may have mistaken the final U for an N, then Latinized *Guendolen as a feminine name to arrive at Guendoloena. In the Vita Merlini, however, Geoffrey Latinizes the masculine name of Gwenddoleu ap Ceidio as Guennolous. Spelled Gwendoloena, the name reoccurs in the anonymous Latin romance De Ortu Waluuanii belonging to Arthur's queen Guinevere.
It did not become a common English given name until the 19th century. Gwendoline was in use in England by the 1860s (an early example being Lady Gwendoline Anson, born c. 1837, a daughter of the 1st Earl of Lichfield), and Gwendolen appeared in Daniel Deronda, written by George Eliot and published in serialized form 1874–6.
Welsh and English: apparently composed of the elements gwen white, fair, blessed, holy + dolen ring, bow. According to Geoffrey of Monmouth, this was the name of the wife of the mythical Welsh king Locrine, who, however, left her for a German princess called Estrildis. Gwendolen in revenge had Estrildis and her daughter Sabrina drowned in the River Seven. The name is borne by one of the principal characters in Oscar Wilde's play The Importance of Being Earnest (first performed in 1895).
Variants: Gwendolin, Gwendolyn; Gwendoline (formed under the influence of the many female given names ending in -line).

Re: Flaking the Main Sail
I have retractable lazy jacks and a Selden track system on the mast. All controls are at the mast. Luff is about 55 feet.
I drop 10 or 15 feet of the main, stop the clutch, go back to flake the bottom of the sail and put a tie or two in, look around, adjust the auto-pilot, and head back forward.
Lather, rinse, repeat. I drop the main in three sections - 10-15 feet, 15-20 feet, and the rest.
Singlehanded it takes about four minutes; two-up it is less than three. I pull the jacks forward and put on the sail cover at the dock or at anchor.
I tried dropping it all and sorting it out but the weight of all that fabric was too much work for a lazy guy like me.
sail fast and eat well, dave

The unidentified circular object that has held the world in a viral grip for a year probably isn't an alien spacecraft after all.
Over the past few days, divers have photographed the unusual anomaly on the seabed nearly 300 feet below the surface.
According to news released Friday by the OceanX treasure hunters who discovered the anomaly on June 19, 2011, "first they thought it was just stone or a rock cliff, but after further observations, the object appeared more as a huge mushroom, rising 10-13 feet from the seabed, with rounded sides and edges.
"The object had an egg-shaped hole leading into it from the top, as an opening. On top of the object they also found strange stone circle formations, almost looking like small fireplaces. The stones were covered in something resembling soot," reports the OceanX website.
Baltic Sea UFO Turns Out Not To Be A UFO.
One of the OceanX divers, Stefan Hogeborn, a veteran of more than 6,000 dives in his 20-year career, is completely puzzled by what he saw.
"I have never seen anything like this. Normally stones don't burn. I can't explain what we saw, and I went down there to answer questions, but I came up with even more questions," Hogeborn said.
The first pictures of the Baltic Sea object have been published by the Swedish newspaper Expressen, which reported the "images show that the circle consists of several blocks formed by 'rolls' or 'mushrooms' that are attached to each other, forming the circle."
On another dive, a sledgehammer was used to obtain samples of the material. "Since we did not get any answers to the questions we asked ourselves, we have brought this to the experts who may be looking at the pieces we brought up," said Hogeborn.
What does the Baltic Sea UFO look like close-up?
This is a composite image of how three alleged UFOs maneuvered about in the sky over Melbourne, Australia, in early February, 2013. The final verdict isn't in yet on whether they're birds, aircraft, balloons, bugs or something truly unidentified.
These candle-lit Chinese lanterns can rise high into the sky and are often mistaken for UFOs.
On Dec. 20, 2012, a bright, circular object (pictured at the top of this composite image) was videotaped exploding in the skies above Sacramento, Calif. It wasn't immediately identified, resulting in speculation that it was either an alien spacecraft, military top secret weapon, runaway planet, North Korean satellite, among others. Within a short period of time, it became apparent that this was a weather balloon. The bottom part of this image shows such a balloon as it ascended over Tampa Bay, Fla., on July 2, 2012, and exploded in an identical manner as the Sacramento object, probably much to the dismay of all true ET believers out there.
This is a composite of images shot by two eyewitnesses of a boomerang-shaped UFO they reported seeing over their Burbank, Calif., home on Oct. 5, 2012. Mutual UFO Network photo/video analyst Marc Dantonio concluded the object was likely "a balloon, floating on the wind that has collapsed in half."
This four-image series of lights in the sky was recorded over Warren, Mich., on Jan. 10, 2013. The lights were seen changing into several patterns. The most logical explanation for these types of UFOs is a series of balloons or lanterns.
This composite image shows four different times that alleged UFO were photographed above Earth by either space shuttles or the International Space Station. The big question is whether or not they are truly unidentified objects or if they are more likely reflections from spacecraft windows, meteors or fast-moving spacecraft-generated debris.
What appear to be pink-red UFOs are actually lens flares from the Google Earth street view camera as it snapped images in Texas (left) and New Mexico (right).
These two flying saucer-shaped, pink-colored lens flares were created by the Google Maps camera as it drove through locations in Sedona, Ariz. (left) and Flagstaff, Ariz. (right). The images were snapped in April 2009. Submitted to HuffPost by trenna.

This lens flare appears to be following a car. The Google Maps image was created in October 2008 at Escanaba, Mich. Submitted to Huffington Post by Mary Robinson.
On the night of Sept. 28, 2012, a group of strange-looking lights appeared in the sky near Cincinnati, Ohio. First there was one, then, two, then three lights, slowly descending. It turns out, however, that these lights were originating from a group of skydivers performing a pyrotechnics jump at the La Salle High School homecoming event.
Some UFO sightings may be due to a natural phenomenon known as sprites, like this one shown from 2006. "Lightning from [a] thunderstorm excites the electric field above, producing a flash of light called a sprite," said geophysicist Colin Price.
Clouds: Saucer-shaped or "lenticular" clouds that form at high altitudes have been confused with UFOs.
Blimps or advertising balloons: These can look like flying saucers from some angles, especially at night.
On June 19th the Swedish-based diving company Ocean Explorer discovered something they've never quite seen before. They were exploring in the Baltic Sea between Sweden and Finland looking for sunken treasures when a very unusual image suddenly appeared on the sonar. A 197 feet diameter cylinder shaped object was discovered at the depth of approximately 275 feet which resembles the Millennium Falcon from the movie Star Wars.
An image released on June 15, 2012, shows a close-up view of the unidentified object sitting on the bottom of the Baltic Sea.

This is a closeup of the UFO from the previous slide. No official explanation has been offered about the object.
Pictured is a quad copter -- a deliberately manufactured UFO created by special effects wizard Marc Dantonio for a National Geographic special, "The Truth Behind: UFOs," which aired in December 2011. On the left is what the small device looks like resting on the ground, measuring 4 feet in circumference. At right, is how it appeared behind a tree in the night sky.
In February of 2012, this fireball was captured by a Texas police chief's A dashboard camera. F.A.A. say this was probably a meteor, falling to Earth. .
Meteors: Space debris can create a spectacular light show when it burns through the Earth's atmosphere, and sometimes reported as UFOs.
Civilian or military aircraft: Planes can look mysterious at night or in certain light conditions, thus confusing an observer.
On-site researchers are still scratching their heads at the photographic evidence.
Treasure hunters Peter Lindberg and Dennis Asberg first discovered the jumbo jet-sized object -- variously described as disc-shaped, circular and cylindrical -- using side-scan sonar. When images and videos were released on the Internet, the story quickly went viral and speculation took off as to the identity of the object, which resembles the fictitious Millennium Falcon spacecraft from the "Star Wars" movies.
Everything from sonar glitches, a sunken Russian ship, naturally occurring stone outcroppings and, of course, alien spaceship have been debated over the past year.
On June 1, Lindberg and Asberg headed back to the location with deep-sea divers and remote-controlled cameras.
"We need to explore what we have found," Lindberg, captain of the Ocean Explorer, said on the treasure hunters' website. "Media has been speculating about everything from UFOs to Russian space ships, and the time has come to find out what the sonar image actually is."
Isn't it also about time that we all agree to refer to the anomaly as a USO, instead of UFO? USO, as in Unidentified Submerged Object. Because, in reality, nobody knows if this thing was ever in the air, flying, right?
"It was originally claimed to be a perfectly round disc, and of course, that's one of the things that made it a mystery," said Benjamin Radford, deputy editor of Skeptical Inquirer magazine. "If it's a spaceship, as some have suggested, it must be almost entirely buried in the ocean floor," Radford told The Huffington Post.
On June 11, UFO-Blogger.com posted this message from expedition co-leader Asberg: "Everything is top secret now ... because of the risks ... hope you all understand this is no game. But the truth will be reported shortly."
Now that the team has almost certainly revealed that the mushroom-shaped anomaly is not from another planet, they're still not exactly sure what it is.
"First we thought this was only stone, but this is something else," said Lindberg on the OceanX website. "And since no volcanic activity has ever been reported in the Baltic Sea, the find becomes even stranger.
"As laymen, we can only speculate how this is made by nature, but this is the strangest thing I have ever experienced as a professional diver."
Clarification: The headline of the initial version of this story gave the impression that the Baltic Sea anomaly is an actual mushroom. The story correctly quoted the on-site investigators who described the submerged object appearing like a mushroom. As this story progresses and analysis is conducted on samples of the undersea object, updates will be forthcoming.

EAGLE, Idaho -- A 43-year-old Emmett woman has died after she collided with a horse while driving a small passenger car southbound on Idaho State Highway 16.
Alma Sanchez, formerly Alma Diaz, died of severe head trauma, according to the Ada CountyCoroner's Office. The crash happened near the Firebird Raceway just after 5 a.m.
After hitting the horse, Sanchez veered off the highway, drove about 100 yards through fields and fences, and eventually struck a rock berm. Her vehicle suffered heavy damage.
Sergeant Matthew Steel said it wasn't immediately clear if Sanchez died of injuries sustained when she hit the horse or after the resulting crash with the wall. She was not wearing a seatbelt.
Deputies say the woman's two passengers were taken to a nearby hospital with unspecified injuries. They're expected to survive.
According to reports, another passenger car traveling southbound came upon the scene moments later. That vehicle hit the same horse and then flipped over. We're told the two people inside that car suffered minor injuries. One was transported to the hospital.
A bystander who wished to remain anonymous told KTVBshe saw the second crash and quickly stopped her car to call 911.
I had to call the police. I was looking for my phone. My purse went flying, so I was looking on the floorboard for my phone as fast as I could. And I had to get to the car to make sure everybody was still alive.
Law enforcement officials closed down both lanes of Idaho State Highway 16 near the crash site for nearly four hours as deputies investigated the crash and cleaned up debris. The highway was reopened just after 9:30 a.m.
Deputies believe two horses were able to escape a fenced area near Firebird Raceway before one was struck and killed in the crash.
In Idaho, livestock owners aren't responsible for keeping their animals off roadways in open range areas.
However, both animals were found wandering outside their pasture on closed range, according to Ada CountySheriff's Office spokeswoman Andrea Dearden.
Furthermore, Dearden says after deputies corraled the second horse, they were able to identify the owner. That person may face criminal charges.

Major Glitch online - anyone else getting this?
Alright, so my homie and I are playing some tag team/fatal 4-way/1v1/etc matches online. I don't know if we have a shoddy connection, or what the situation is, but here is the problem that we are encountering:
After a while in our online matches, AI takes control of our opponents unannounced. For several minutes we continue playing the matches talking to one another through our headsets, not knowing that our matches are entirely desynced. Only when something dramatic happens do we encounter the bizarre moment where it's like: "Wait... you just slammed me through a table? No dude. You didn't. I am on the entry ramp right now..." moments.
It's almost as if we are losing connection and THQ is trying to pull the wool over our eyes. At one point I even won a match against him and he played on on his XBox, eventually beating me. Same exact match. Mine was listed as a "Win" for me, and his was listed as a "Win" for him. WTF!?!
Indie Filmmaker ; www.andycrete.com - personal website
XBox 360 Gamertag: Purpal
yeah I know what you mean, the worst part is when you figure it out and win the match being forced to sit there for another 10 minutes or so until the other guy figures it out.

Just waiting for my lease to run out. There are so many things wrong here now. When it was Ashley Park it was clean, they cleaned the hallways weekly and they cleaned the pool weekly it's open year round. The hallway hasn't been cleaned since January it is now May. The pool has been cleaned twice. They don't screen the new people that they are renting to and it has filled up with trash. All they care about is filling the empty apartments as fast as possible. We have not had an exterminator here since January, they always came in once a month, we had no bugs then. The floors are so thin we hear every noise, I swear the people upstairs have a bowling alley or maybe a skate park in their apartment, with no children there we shouldn't be able to hear that much noise, you can't keep kids quiet no matter how good they are and we wouldn't expect them to. Not sure about the office staff they don't talk to you other than to say thank you for the rent money...I don't even know their names. Now they are going to raise the rent and start charging for water so it's time to go..they are turning it into a welfare housing complex. Please don't rent here and regret it everyday that you have to stay here until your lease expires. Don't fall for the Demo apartment either it is NOTHING like the apartment you will get and they don't show you your real apartment until they give you the key to move in. And why the heck did they change the name to Cherry Grove Commons we are no where near Cherry Grove.

The post Is Your Boss a Bully? appeared first on AJ Lee Online.]]>
It's not easy to work for someone else. There are different types of bosses around the world. Some of them are extremely supportive of their employees and always willing to teach. The other bosses are horrible. They are mean in general. They make bad teachers and fail to understand what needs to be done. The simplest way to know if your boss is a bully is to ask yourself, "am I happy at the workplace?"
If that does not answer your question here is a detailed guide. Check if your boss reflects any of the below mentioned traits. Here is a list ten things that suggest that your supervisor is a bully.
1. If your boss refuses to teach or guide you through your work and work-related matters, he is bad at being a boss. Especially if you are a new employee, a good supervisor must monitor your work. He should assist you to adapt to the company instead of complaining repeatedly about your mistakes.
2. He is a bully if he finds faults in everything you do. You cannot always be wrong. Even if you are, it is his responsibility to help you overcome the mistakes.
If he discourages questions, he is a bully. He shouldn't think asking questions is absurd. You must be able to discuss problems and ask as many questions as you need to. Supervisors are bound to answer and all good bosses would.
4. You can be sure that the person you are working under is a bully by judging the number of positive feedbacks to the negative ones. If the ratio of good to bad reviews is 0:1, he surely is a horrible boss. He fails to encourage his employees.
5. When a boss is also a bully, he does not like the idea of you declining his ways, or style of work. He will try to make it clear to you. Under some circumstances bosses say it directly. They think their approach is the best and no other work technique followed by others is right.
6. Very often, real life "Horrible Bosses" complain non-stop. These complaints will be direct and will include topics like how you are a burden to him and the company. These humiliating discussions may include hurting dialogues like "The Company would be better off without you." These may make you feel unworthy of the position when in reality it is your boss who does not deserve the position and respect.
7. Sometimes he/she may tell you how your work is unsatisfactory. The boss will claim that you do not fulfil the position to their satisfaction. They use sarcasm and other verbal tools to humiliate you and your fellow colleagues. If everything your supervisor says is depressing, then he/she is a bully.
8. If a boss discusses about other employees and their performance in front of you, you must realize that it is not professional. The habit of discussing and disclosing important information or negative things about one employee to another is not professional at all. This suggests that he discusses your information in front of others too. It is not only a bad habit but also a sign that your boss is a mean bully. Never assist or encourage him to do any such things.
9. Often bosses distribute own work load on employees. When an employee completes the task, bad bosses complain about different thing. This is done to make you feel guilty. Meanwhile, he will take credit of the already-done work and enjoy all the attention.
10. The last yet most important thing to understand is that it is not normal for a boss to yell at you. If your superior yells at you all the time, it may be time that you take the hint. He is a bully. No matter what the mistake was or how big it was, a bully would always yell.
If y You see all, or even some, of the above mentioned things in your boss, it is time to take action. You can either report to his superiors or move away from the organization. It is not a smart decision to accept such bullies and allow behaviors like these

10 Strange Wedding Traditions
Although the basic idea of marriage is union of two people, the ways and wedding traditions vary across cultures. There are wedding traditions that are original to specific locations and would not make sense to people from other parts of the world. Some of these strange traditions have been mentioned below. The list of 10 includes smashing plates, kidnapping brides and many other bizarre wedding traditions.
10. Polterabend
This was a very popular tradition at Greek weddings. Smashing plates is symbolized as expressing happiness and abundance. This has reached several other locations too. In Germany, guests smash plates, tea cups and glasses the night before the wedding, right before they enter the couple's home. They believe that this will bring good luck. In Finland, a china plate is placed on the bride's head during the couple's first dance. After the plate breaks, the broken pieces show the number of children they will have.
9. Charivari
The word charivari means "rough music" in French. The tradition involves wedding guests and neighbors. They visit newlywed's house on the wedding night and annoy them with disturbing loud music. Banging of pots and making all other rustic noises is common.
8. Define Love in 3 Arrows
In traditional weddings inthe Yugur tribe in China, the groom has to shoot 3 arrows towards his wife. The arrowheads are removed beforehand so the bride is not hurt. Then, the bride and groom would break both the bow and arrows. This signifies loving and lasting marriage
7. Shoe Stealing
Indians are known for their vibrant and extravagant wedding celebrations. They have a lot of traditions but one of the most common traditions is stealing of groom's shoes by bridesmaids. The competition is between the bridesmaids and groomsmen. If bridesmaids can steal it they get an expensive deal in exchange for the shoes.
6. Blackening
This is pre-wedding ritual in Scotland for both the bride and groom. All the co-workers, friends and family members meet together to attend this event. The couple, who will soon be married, are tied to a tree or a chair. Then the guests at the event toss whatever rubbish they get around at the couple.
5. The Holy Spit
In Masai Kenya it is tradition for the father to spit on the bride's head and breasts. This is believed to sanctify the couple's union. The bride then leaves immediately with her groom without turning back. She will turn into stone if she looks back, according to myths.
4. The White Painted Bride
In some traditional Japanese weddings, the brides are painted completely white. They are covered in white paint from head to toe. They also wear white kimono dresses. This white color mainly symbolizes death to her family. After the wedding is complete, she wears a red kimono. This signifies rebirth to the groom's family.
3. No Potty Break For 3 days
This is a very weird tradition followed by the Tidong tribe in North Borneo. It is not easy either. After the night of wedding, the bride and groom are not allowed to go to bathroom for the next 3 days and nights. It makes getting intimate on the first wedding night difficult too.
2. Force Feeding
In most countries, brides try to lose weight prior to the wedding. They follow exercise and low calorie diet regimes. The same cannot be said about any brides-to-be from Mauritania. They do the exact opposite. There, fatness of the bride shows a woman's affluence. The men actually consider stretch marks and flabs attractive. Because they love thick women, the brides are fed forcefully since a very young age in the hope that she would one day make a very fat bride.
1. Marriage by Abduction
Marriage by abduction, also known as bride kidnapping, is illegal in most parts of the world but it is accepted in some places in Asia, Africa and Europe. The tradition is a kind of forced marriage and does not usually have pleasant results. Apart from being kidnapped, some of these brides are also raped. They often become victims of domestic violence after marriage and it continues for a lifetime. Girls are kidnapped by much older men when they are only around 11 years old and then married forcefully. It is a strange norm and must be stopped.

The post Ten Bizarre School Punishments appeared first on AJ Lee Online.]]>
I certainly would not be happy about these bizarre punishments. Unbelievable treatment to students. NO WAY!!
10 bizarre school punishments you didn't know was possible
Ever thought of your childhood school to be the worst possible place to study as there were too many bizarre punishments? You should rather be grateful that your school wasn't Charles Sumner Elementary School where the fifth graders were made to eat lunch off the floor as a punishment for spilling a jug of water on the floor. Learn about 10 other insanely bizarre school punishments right here:
10. The hand-holding.
After getting in a fight, two students were given an alternative to the usual suspension. They were told to hold each other's hands in the school courtyard for fifteen minutes. Although the punishment seemed quite harmless at first but laughter, pointing, taking pictures and videos, and question of the kids' sexual orientation by the other children made it quite hard for the two boys to survive the taunting fifteen minutes.
9. The "Sign".
Imagine wearing a sign to school that said, "I'm in the 7th grade and got three F's. Blow your horn if there's something wrong with that." Michael Bell Jr. of Florida was given this punishment by his parents. He was also forced to stand on a popular street corner in Miami for several hours. However, it is not known whether his grades improved.
8. The face writing.
A fourth grade teacher in Idaho, Summer Larsen chose to let other students write on the faces of students not meeting their Accelerated Reading goal. And that too with a permanent marker. However, Parents were not amused that their kids were coming home looking like a coloring book.
7. The Hair Cut
Seven years old Lamaya Cammon got one of her braids chopped right off after she was caught eating a candy during class. After the sudden incident Lamaya went back to her desk both embarrassed and crying and her whole class laughing at her. However, the teacher was later fined.
6. The "We don't like you"
Alex Barton, who was suffering from then-undiagnosed high-functioning autism, was one day ousted from the class for inappropriate behavior. When Alex was let back in the class, the teacher was discussion about how everyone in the class "did not like Alex"! She even took votes from students to decide whether to keep Alex in the class. The students voted 14-2 against Alex staying in the class. In spite of this being such a bizarre example by the teacher, she was not punished by the court and continued teaching.
5. The fake prom.
Constance McMillen and her girlfriend were initially rejected to attend the school prom as a lesbian couple. When McMillen decied to sue the school for this, she was paid back with a fake prom. She was given the address of a "set-up" prom where the only ones attending were Constance, her girlfriend and five other students with mental disabilities. That would have been heartbreaking for any high school girl.
4. The Therapy Bag
Although by the sound of it therapy bag might not sound that horrifying, but it is actually a small duffel bag that was used by a Kentucky school teacher to stuff a nine year old autistic boy. Third grader Christopher Baker had to go through this inhuman punishment for being twenty minutes late only. The teacher involved was later fired.
3. The Frozen Peas knee
Another quite bizarre punishment involves kneeling on frozen fees for a long period of time. This punishment leaves long lasting marks on the thigh and knee region and is awfully painful. This form of punishment is quiet "popular" in the Asian countries.
2. The Cone of Shame
Laurie Bailey-Cutkomp of Florida got the idea from the movie Up to use a plastic dog collar on students as punishment. She later claimed that it was only meant as a joke but the students who had to wear the "cone of shame" certainly did not find it funny.
1. The Monster Closet
A teacher in Huston locked four pre-k students in a pitch-black custodial closet which he called the "monster closet". Being four year olds the children could not stand the darkness; one of them vomited while two others urinated themselves.
Punishments are sometimes just another tool for learning. But sometimes it becomes so insanely bizarre that students have to go through a horrific experience.

The post Best Pop Music Video?? appeared first on AJ Lee Online.]]>
Who? What artist would you pick for most popular dance video. This might surprise you?? Asia may of given us the best Pop Music dance video.
Take a moment to remember the year's most memorable pop videos, like when Iggy Azalea and Charli XCX recreated Clueless in their colorful "Fancy" clip. Or the time Nicki Minaj showed off her, uh, assets in "Anaconda." Or the time Ariana Grande fired missiles from her chest in her sci-fi parody "Break Free." And don't forget all the dance moves and outfits T-Swift tried out in "Shake It Off."
Problem – Wakeup – Fancy – Talk Dirty – Happy
Now pretend you took all those videos and threw them into a blender — "Play" is what you'd get after a few seconds on high power, and still so much more. The song is from Taiwanese pop star Jolin Tsai, who's been recording music since she was a teenager in the 1990s, and it's the title track off her 13th studio album, due later this month. Nudity, aerobics-inspired choreography and fantastical colors all play major roles in the Sims-inspired clip. Also, someone gets hit in the face with a ukelele, so there's that, too.
Just see for yourself above — you'll be asking "Oh my God, who is she?" in no time.

The post Stuff You May Not Know About Marijuana appeared first on AJ Lee Online.]]>
Marijuana has only become more and more popular every day. Hippies call it the green way to do it clean.
Also known as Cannabis, and more commonly known as weed, marijuana is an herb plant that's grown in several countries including Mexico, Brazil, Asia and Afghanistan.
Widely used for "recreation", if you know what I mean, it also has medical applications. But whether or not weed is legal depends on which country or state in the US you're living in. People are known to get busted for carrying the tiniest amounts of weed.
So if you're into weed, which I'm sure that you are, take a look through this list and see you if you get to learn more.
10. Legalizing marijuana can decrease the number of weed smokers
Here's the thing, people in the states that have illegal marijuana laws have been fighting to legalize it for so long. Most of these people are at college level.
This is highly psychological. Since marijuana is illegal, it creates some sort of "forbidden fruit" effect.
When medical marijuana was legalized in the states, the effect of its use as an illicit drug reduced and so did the activity of marijuana use amongst the young folk.
9. Marijuana is medicine
Weed is claimed to be the gifts of the heavens to the people of earth. Its ecstatic properties help in relieve a patient's stress and physical agony without any side effects.
Marijuana has proved to be a valuable treatment method for a variety of medical conditions:
· It is a good alternative to synthetic painkiller drugs that are given to patients with cancer, epilepsy, AIDS, glaucoma and Alzheimer's Disease.
· It potentially treats some illnesses when no other treatment method effectively works.
· It helps with the painful treatments such as chemotherapy.
8. The Man behind the Legalization: Robert Randall
He's the man who's the primary cause of the legalization of medical marijuana in the states. Back in 1976, Randall suffered from glaucoma. He was arrested for growing weed in his place.
In the court trials, he won the case against the federal government and walked out a free man like a bad ass. He won due to the notion that he "established a defense of necessity."
Later on, he was used in the marijuana case study as a lab rat by the federal government who regularly supplied him with weed.
7. Marijuana is healthy for the mind
Scientists and researchers of schizophrenia have turned their attention to weed because it has a chemical called cannabidiol. This chemical seems to have anti-psychotic and mind- relaxing properties.
Scientists are starting to believe that the patients who are smoking weed have the potential for better higher mental functioning.
Marijuana is also known to effectively treat depression.
6. Penalties in Indonesia for weed possession
Just possessing weed in Southeast Asian countries will sentence you for years in prison, whereas smuggling them into the country is punishable by death.
5. Grown in the wild
Marijuana used to grow freely on their own in different parts of the world before they became controversial. Nowadays they are controlled and grown especially in the United States.
Still today, marijuana is freely growing naturally in the Asian mountains. Other marijuana fields are found in the countryside of Siberia and Russia.
4. Marijuana Museum
3. The Cannabis Cup
Every November, the Cannabis Cup takes place in Amsterdam. It is the biggest weed festival in the world. It involves competition of the best strains of weed, cooking classes, and concerts. Even though everyone can test samples of weed in the festival, buying and selling is highly prohibited.
2. The long term effects
Too much weed is bad you. In fact, too much of anything is bad for you. Studies have shown that too much use of marijuana can cause impotence and infertility in men. It is also found that marijuana is a potential cancer causing agent, especially in the lungs and mouth.
We've also seen the positive effects of marijuana. It is safe to agree that extensive research can put all the controversies to rest.
1. Endocanabinoid System
Because why not? We already do have so many body systems.
This System is responsible for several physiological processes such as appetite, information processing, pain and emotion.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- A Ukrainian hockey coach accused of having sexual contact with a 14-year-old boy in Pennsylvania is due before a federal magistrate for a detention hearing.
Ivan Pravilov was charged Tuesday with committing sex acts with a boy attending hockey clinics in the United States.
Court documents say two boys gave identical accounts of a Jan. 3 encounter involving one of the boys in a Philadelphia apartment.
The website for the coach's hockey school, Ivan Pravilov's Unique Hockey School, says it held a number of camps up and down the East Coast this summer.
A coach at Pravilov's school who declined to give his name declined to comment. The Interior Ministry, which oversees the Ukrainian branch of Interpol, had no comment.
Pravilov's attorney didn't return messages seeking comment.

Happy is introduced to us through a brief family film montage of imagery explained by his congenial narration. Raised primarily by his beloved Grandma and given a fanatical love of the game by his father, Happy lives to play hockey and he's got one wicked slap shot... such a shame he can't stay upright in ice skates! The turbulence of his formative years has left him with some anger management issues, but he restrains himself admirably when he finds out Grandma is about to loose everything after years of being too broke to pay her taxes.
Happy's got to make some money fast if he's going to save the family home that his Grandfather built. When he finds that his trademark slap shot translates into a wicked long game on the golf course, he tries to capitalize on this by taking bets at the local driving range. Fortunately for Happy, this is where he meets Chubbs, a former golf hotshot who was forced into the position of instructor when he lost his hand to a gator while touring in Florida.
Chubbs is the ideal coach for Happy and he helps him to begin harnessing his ferocious temper. Before you know it, Happy is changing the face of golf to a rowdy,in-you-face, potentially full-contact event that bored fans have never dreamt of! Chubbs and Happy are on tour competing for the big money, but the vile Shooter McGavin is determinded to win his coveted gold jacket this year. He'll accept nothing less than first place and if he has to humilate and emotionally crush Gilmore along the way... so much the better!
Thank goodness Happy doesn't know how much trouble Grandma has been having at that personal care facilitywhile he battles for their home. That might have really broken his concentration! Can Happy stand up under the stress once he looses Chubbs' wise guidance? We're rooting for ya, Happy!
My Thoughts:
Adam Sandler can be hit or miss for me. I find Happy to be a riotous laugh-fest of good fun, and one of my top ten Sandler films without a doubt! The story is predictable and the characters simply drawn. What moves us through the experience so enjoyable is all in how it's told! If you don't enjoy Sandler's goofy and oft juvenile sense of humor then this one definitely wouldn't be for you.
Our ten-year old VHS tape finally gave out and I simply had to run out to snatch up a bare bones DVD copy to replace it! Our family enjoys watching Happy scream at his ball when he discovers troulbe handling his short game. "That's your home! Are you too good for your home?!" We even like the nice uncomplicated girl Gilmore finds along the way.
We're concerned about the "activities" at Grandma's new, and hopefully temporary, digs. We can't wait to see the sleazily humorous Shooter get his comeuppance, and if the truth be told... we even love watching Bob Barker take one more shot at Gilmore when he gets too mouthy!"Price is wrong, b*!vh!" is somehow rendered hilarious when uttered by Barker, the infamously pleasant and unflappable game show host.
If find myself quoting or referencing this film at oddly appropriate moment. I have found myself saying, "Go to your Happy place! Can you see the midget cowboy on more than one occasion. Laughter is the best medicine and I'mstill laughing. I can't recommend it higher than that!

Re: Fitness Checkin
I haven't been doing this too long, but I think taking notes drastically increases the effectiveness of my workout; when I can look back at the previous week(/s) what weight/reps I did and can increase the difficulty slightly or not depending on how I feel that day, so that I can do close to the max of my abilities immediately instead of having to waste time and energy on trial&erroring.
eta: and it's also an extra incentive to me to do just that little bit more to be able to record progress to the last time I did a specific exercise.
Don't be a douche.

Claud Butler Stone River XC Hardtail
|(0 Reviews)
Product DescriptionBuilt for the serious mountain bike rider, the Claud Butler Stone River is a tough and durable hardtail mountain bike. The lightweight and strong aluminium frame tackles the trail easily, and the Suntour XCM V3 MLO suspension fork makes light work of the bumps, with lock-out for when you don't want suspension slowing you down. The Shimano Acera and Altus 24-speed gearset gives you speed and power perfect for uphill climbs and downhill races, and the EZ-Fire shifters make shifting fast and efficient.
