Many people have health problems related to obesity. The big question they ask themselves is how to lose weight in a healthy way. The best way to lose weight is through dieting and doing exercise.
Upon the mention of diet and exercise, many people give up due to fear of hunger and exercise. Dieting does not mean starving one's self. Exercise does not mean doing intense workouts. Instead, eating food with fewer calories and engaging in activities so that the body burns more calories than those taken in will help reduce weight.
Regular day to day activities like mopping floors, lawn mowing, washing and other tasks require energy. To produce energy, the body burns calories. One should focus on eating food rich in fiber, fruits and green vegetables which have fewer calories.
Engagement in a sport or moderate physical activity is an added weight loss technique. One should have friends to do exercise together. It is important to come up with exercise schedules and diet menus to work with in order to be consistent in the effort to lose weight.
In order to remain focused throughout the weight loss process, it is advisable to enroll in weight loss contests and clubs. Such websites as www.lifestyleaccountability.com offers the opportunity. This will help you to meet people who intend to lose weight like you and possibly get more information on how to lose weight.

Buick LeSabre Problem Report
Buick LeSabre Engine Won't Turn Over Due to Coolant Leak From Upper Intake Manifold
(32 reports)
The upper intake manifold may develop an internal coolant leak causing one or more cylinders to fill with coolant. This can cause the engine to "hydro-lock" and not turn over. Removing the spark plugs will allow the engine to turn over pushing the coolant out of the spark plug holes. Replacing the upper intake plenum and gasket is commonly required to correct this condition.
The engine can be very difficult to start after this problem has been repaired, it can be helpful to clear as much of the coolant from the intake manifold and cylinders as possible before reassembling the intake manifold.
coolant leak at upper intake. common problem with the 3800 engine. had repaired along with new hoses. total cost $785. Ouch) i dont know how gm avoided not recalling this problem. there are ten's of thousands of people that had this happen to them too. - Visitor

I have a 1997 model and just had the plenum which is the intake replaced. It wouldn't start and i told the mechanic there was antifreeze in the black tube going to the air filter and he said it was the intake. Its made of plastic and there is a metal pipe that exhaust heat goes through and melts a hole in the intake that allows coolant to enter the top of the engine. The part is around $130.00 or so but the total repair totalled $530.00. There was no knocking from the hydro-lock so we decided to fix it. Hope this was helpful.. - Visitor

That would be so scary!! Luckily my horse goes into the barn and night and the pasture she goes into in the day has a bunch of other horses and can barely be seen by the road, haha the horse stealers would have to go through everybody at the barn before thye got to her pasture! And the owner of the barn lives rigth beside the barn on the property, so my horse is pretty safe and even if somehow they did get through if people are rough with my mare she gets stubborn, and if she didnt know the people that were trying to load her in the dark I bet you anything she would put up a loud fight, haha.
If your getting them freeze branded I would recomend getting it right near the withers because then when you ride her you can't see it just in case you ever want to enter shows :P

In the first-ever move that would adversely affect flight operations to the US, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) today downgraded India's aviation safety ranking, bringing it below Pakistan and at par with countries like Ghana, Barbados and Bangladesh.
India termed as "very disappointing and surprising" the FAA's decision to downgrade India from Category I to II after two safety audits carried out in September and December last year.
Air passengers to and from the US may have to face the brunt as Indian airplanes would have to go through more engineering and other safety checks on the American soil.
As per the FAA, the downgrade means that the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) does not meet the safety standards set by UN agency International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).
The FAA downgrade of India's safety rankings, conveyed to DGCA chief Prabhat Kumar, would effectively bar Air India and Jet Airways from increasing flights to the US from the current level.
They would also not be able to enter into any new code-share relationships with any US airline.
The downgrade does not mean that these airlines are unsafe but show that the DGCA's safety oversight is not enough to properly monitor safety performance of Indian carriers, officials explained.
While the move may not immediately impact the 28-a-week flights (21 of Air India and 7 of Jet Airways) to the US, it would make it difficult for these two Indian carriers to expand their operations to other American cities.
At present, Air India operates to Chicago and New York while Jet Airways flies only to New York.
It could also have an adverse impact on Jet's entering into a codeshare with an American carrier and Air India's joining the Star Alliance.
Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh termed as "very disappointing and surprising" the US aviation regulator's decision.
"We are now 95 per cent compliant" with what the FAA had wanted DGCA and the government to do in terms of taking corrective measures, he said, adding the remaining five per cent, that is recruitment and training of senior technical personnel in the DGCA, would be completed by March.
"DGCA will remain in constant touch with FAA, which will hopefully hold another review thereafter" to revert India to Category I, Singh said.
FAA conducts the International Aviation Safety Assessment Program (IASA) to assess the civil aviation authorities of each country that has carriers operating to the US.
As per the FAA's IASA Program of November 22 last year, the countries in Category II include Bangladesh, Barbados, Indonesia, Ghana, Serbia and the Philippines.
The FAA has only two categories and Category II means the aviation safety records of these countries "do not meet ICAO standards". Pakistan is placed in Category I.
At a press conference here, the Civil Aviation Minister refused to give a timeline by which the …continued »

Body by Vi diet
Angel Babies 12/26/10, 06/28/11, 01/18/14
Happily married to my soulmate Robby 11-8-2008,
Proud momma to Cohen Glover 10-19-2009,
I was doing Body by Vi shakes for about 6 weeks, but stopped when I got pregnant, as I didn't want to keep losing weight, and it turned out to be a food aversion. I like how it tasted like cake batter (not a gross protein powder) and how you could add any ingredients you wanted to make it yummy and give you variety. I would have one shake in the morning with skim milk, and usually fruits. Then I would eat a nice big lunch. Then I would have another shake for dinner with almond milk and I liked to make it a "dessert" kind, using PB2 and Chocolate PB2 (peanut butter powder that is yummy and low carb) or something else. Of course I would keep some snacks with me throughout the day, like cheese sticks and nuts and things like that. I found it to be really reasonably priced, too.
I have no idea if it's "safe" for breastfeeding, but I honestly don't see why not, as long as you're getting in enough calories for the day. The powder is just protein and lots of vitamins. You still need to eat plenty of good food, too.
It's important to note that most people only do it for a few weeks to a few months, and sometimes they only do 1 meal replacement shake per day, or instead of replacing meals, just add one to their work out. A bunch of folks did this in my area the last few years, and almost everyone had good results. Of course, you have to continue eating healthy and exercising to maintain your loss. Can't go back to unhealthy habits then say the "diet" didn't work, know what I mean?
Ayme (27) & Ben (31) Married 7/19/08 / Ian born 3/19/13 after 2 years TTC and 37 weeks 5 days of pregnancy
I was doing it before I found out I was pregnant. I lost 22lbs in about 5 weeks. Pretty good. It tastes amazing and you can (and need to) add so many cool things to the shakes. Fruit, yogurt, wheat germ, peanut butter, coco powder, fat free jello pudding mixes, pure extracts (mint, vanilla, coconut, etc). Only your imagination is the limit and there are tons of FB groups with thousands of recipes. You can also eat two healthy snacks along with the shakes. Again hundreds listed on the FB groups.
Now the part that made me frustrated and see that it's not something I could do longterm... It doesn't teach you how to choose foods properly or to EAT. My biggest beef is what happens after you go off the two shakes a day? You didn't learn much about how to eat right or choose the right foods for all your meals during the day (or how to prepare healthy meals for your whole family at each meal). At times through the 5 weeks or so I was on it I'd go through periods of feeling like I was starving too. I think this is just a normal part of reducing your calorie intake though. Another downside is the shake mix is pricey. You have to factor in that you need to buy the mix, the milk, the fruit, any other things you add (which you must to meet the proper calories) PLUS your regular groceries for your family. It can add up.
So all in all it does work, it tastes amazing, but it's pricey and how realistic is it in the long run.

Chile - Red Pepper Flakes
Here is Sam's recipe for good ol' café chili. Note the extreme amount of cumin. Interestingly enough, in the version of this recipe which appeared in Texas Home Cooking, the amount of cumin mysteriously was doubled. Could Sam be addicted to cumin? Sam is also the author of Avenida Juarez, a novel which has to be read to be believed.
There must be as many recipes for chili as there are cooks in Texas, New Mexico, Arizonia, California, and even Cincinnati! Cooks seem to guard their recipes as if they were classified information. This recipe is my version of the classic San Antonio chili. Health-conscious cooks should prepare it the day before, chill it, and skim off any fat that rises. Even if you aren't concerned, the chili will taste better on the next day.

Mussels are delicious when simply steamed in garlic and white wine. This recipe combines steaming with smoking for a great appetizer. From Mike Stines' article "Smoking Succulent Shellfish". Read more how-to and recipes for smoked mussels, clams, scallops, and oysters here.
This recipe combines a marinade, an injected marinade, and a stovetop smoker to create smoked pork chops that equal what comes out of the offset smoker in warmer months. Leave the cover slightly open until a light smoke develops (about 10 minutes or so) then slide the cover completely closed and smoke the chops for 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 400 degrees F. Serve with garlic mashed potatoes and sautéed green beans. Note: This recipe requires advance preparation.
This is a style of smoking that hails from China's Sichuan (formerly Szechuan) region, which is known for its hot, spicy cuisine. Serious Chinese food geeks may be familiar with Zhangcha duck—a tea-smoked Sichuan delicacy that's tough to make but impressive as hell to anyone who's never had it before. This is the recipe Mark Masker used for his rib experiment. Read the entire article on the Burn! Blog here.
There are over 30 varieties of Turkish kebabs which locals call "siskebabi," "sis kebaps," or "kebabi. Fish, vegetables, pork, beef, fruit, or fowl, are all put on wood or metal skewers and grilled over open flame or coals. Note: If you want to grill vegetables along with fish, chicken or small cubes of meat it's best to parboil vegetables such as bell peppers, zucchini, carrots and other dense foods before skewering. Baby new potatoes can be scrubbed and par-boiled in skins or use canned whole potatoes. This recipe is courtesy of Rick Browne. Read more about favorite Superbowl Party dishes from chefs on the Burn!

Silence was clearly the preferred strategy of Republican candidates up and down the ballot.
On the ballot paper there is just one question: Do you support the independence of Donetsk?
So much so that she dressed as a ballot at an Obama rally on Wednesday.

Visit the local Tourist Office
Favorite thing: This attractive building is easily found at the end of Boulevard Maréchal Joffre, past the Museum and the Mairie turn left and you won't miss it.
The Staff are welcoming and helpful and the building to the left behind the statue - is a small hall- that often houses local exhibitions. We saw a local Quilters show there on our first visit in 2007.
Note the statue in the forecourt - it is "The Catalane" by Manolo Valdés .
The plaque on the base says it is a tribute to the composer, Dëodat de Séverac (1892-1921)
The coat of arms of the town is above the entrance to the office.
I liked the letters cut into the wood lintel of the building SYNDICAT d'INITIATIV - the name formerly used in France for offices of tourism, usually abbreviated to S.I.

Great Saturday market
Favorite thing: The Saturday morning market is a great spectacle.

Sit in a cafe and watch the people go by.
Just make sure you put cotton wool in your ears to drown out the ghastly Pan pipes

With many restaurants and businesses nearby, the conveniently located Marriot is also around the corner from Nana Plaza, one of the city's biggest red-light districts, which might turn some people off as much as it turns others on. Rooms have the standard amenities, with firm beds that make for a good night's sleep. It's worth a few extra baht to stay on the executive floors, which have a separate lounge with complimentary breakfast, afternoon tea, and evening cocktails. The fitness center is superb, with saunas and the latest equipment. Restaurants include Man Ho, serving Cantonese fare; the White Elephant, specializing in Thai favorites; and the New York Steakhouse.

Getting in and out is a little tricky for the taxi/limo drivers as its on a one-way street. On the way to the airport, the brave ones drive right by the cop and head up the on ramp, otherwise be sure to add 10 minutes for the detour. Huge bathrooms, quiet clean rooms, complementary fruit every day. A great fitness room; doubles as a private fitness club so its got everything. Pool is gorgeous, with black stone and a zero edge. Service is
outstanding - go for the executive level even if you have to pay for it yourself -- an honor bar and free appetizers and expedited check in/out. Breakfast buffet has everything for every palate from Japan to Beijing to San Francisco. I lived here for 3 months, and loved every minute of it. Look forward to my return trip every time. Meeting rooms are large and reasonably priced. The Sheraton down the road is not quite as warm and personal as the JW. This is the better of the two by far.

The riddle of the locust is that the locust is strong, but steel is stronger, so says (I wish) African locust shaman James Earle Jones in Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977), and it is my unofficial recommendation for this weekend, depending on your state of pan-dimensional inebriation and yen for Italian-style nightmare logic. Mine is strong, and the riddle of steel asked by Jones in Conan, is it turns out answered a mere six years earlier. Such doth time melt in the hand of the shaman in the locust helmet.
But before getting involved, know this: Richard Burton is the heretic of the title. As a priest! The towering actor and booze-fume djinn was once, twice, three times a priest in film (not even counting his stint as the pedophile-shielding Bishop of Canterbury in Beckett), a weird thing for a drunkard A-list actor to be cast as, a priest, since nine times out of ten priests are depicted in film as boring old fogeys pooh-poohing, browbeating, boring, and benumbing everyone in earshot. Then again, Burton hungover is just like that: surly, sullen, cranky, sanctimonious, trading on his collar to excuse his rudeness, hiding his forgetfulness of lines and blocking via sweaty reticence.
In short, Burton in Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977) is a mess.
He will make you wonder once more the age young question: can a panicky Welsh alcoholic towerer touch a demon Tinker Belle locust wing and fly fly fly to Africa or/and into the arms of a demonic, sexy Linda Blair, believably? Or if not, will there be at least some camp?
Not even. You need to applaud like hell to bring this demon Tinker Belle locust back to life, and even then, all he does is crawl along with soggy wings.
And yet... fall approaches and doomsday December, and the bleakness of each SAG member gone to ember turns one's heart to demon mentors, and as it's on the Netflix streaming, why not give Exorcist: the Heretic (1977) a second try to keep you awake?
Me, I tried myself to watch it once, years ago, but never got past that first mind-boggling stretch wherein Burton first watches Louise Fletcher hypnotize Regan so she can go back in time to the events in her bedroom during the climax of the last film (he 'needs' to find out how Father Karras died); then Regan hypnotizes Fletcher (while still hypnotized herself) so she can join her there, in the past, then Fletcher--in real time--is gasping in pain, because Pazuzu is clawing at her beating heart, in the past. So Burton tells Regan (still under the influence, min you) to hypnotize him so he can go back and rescue Fletcher, as if pulling some Dreamscape/Inception-style invasion is as easy as wearing a headband and staring into a flashing light for two seconds. As Fletcher says, "slow your tone!"
Back in time, meanwhile, back in the original film's time frame, Regan's devil make-up is being worn by a different actress massaging Fletcher's heart while Fletcher gasps and chokes and 'arghs'...
Minute-after-minute passes....
Regan begs Burton to do something, anything.... the massaging continues. Pazuzu/Regan, massaging Fletcher's exposed heart, stares lewdly at him, as if fondling her breast, bidding him with her eyes to make it a macabre trans-dimensional threesome.
Finally, after the moment plays on so long you think the editor must have fallen asleep, Burton croaks "in God's name," with nary a shred of holy conviction, and that's the end - Pazuzu fades away.
In God's name indeed.
I, like so many before me with some idea of how hypnotism and holy powder--I mean power--actually works, stopped watching. Regan, turn it off! Turn it off! Slow yr tone!
|Blair and Burton meet at the Natural History Museum, perhaps to blur the line between
its dioramas and the film's later unconvincing but interesting matte work
There's one Italian Exorcist knock-off in particular I'm thinking of, for it too mixes ESP, astral travel, mysterious shamans, and North African scenery, Lucio Fulci's meaninglessly titled Manhattan Baby (1982), which involves a mysterious amulet given to a kid visiting Egypt that later opens up a inter-dimensional stargate between some lost Pharaoh tomb and the family's uptown Manhattan apartment. Baby fills in the gaps left in the original Exorcist's parallel stories that Heretic never mentions, namely why/how Father Merrin's archeological dig in Iraq is responsible for Regan's possession. Is there a dimensional doorway involved between Iraq and Washington, as there is here between Manhattan and Egypt thanks to this Fulci film's amulet? (see Acidemic Journal of Film and Media #3, 2007 - The Exorcist in Iraq).
I can't even remember how Baby ends, but at least it will also help you sleep and make Heretic seem like Citizen Kane in comparison.
What saves Heretic is James Earle Jones as etymology's Dr. Benway (top and below), a man who is simultaneously both a trippy locust-shaman and an African etymologist working on ways to stop the swarms that regularly wipe out crops all across his native continent. I kept hoping he'd give Burton a flask of yellow bug powder so he could go around knocking on doors shouting "Exterminator!" and zapping Pazuzu's locust buddies even as his priestly collar turns into a black locust with a patch of white on its forehead, calling him "Dick" in a gravelly anus voice. At any rate its easier to believe Jones as a multi-dimensional locust shaman than it is to believe Burton's a priest or that anyone in this film is ever really in Africa. If you've ever had a fever or done psychedelics or read any Phillip K. Dick then you know that simultaneous multi-dimensional existence is doable, and Jones makes it seem feasible just from his gravitas. The way he effortlessly grasps Burton's lost, mangy situation on both fronts is pretty tripped out, and the highlight of the film.
The problem with Heretic is... and I hate to say this because I'm a fan-- Burton. He sucks in it. He must be in the throes of serious alcoholism and so unable to see straight in order to read cue cards, otherwise there's no reason he'd be so silent and sullen when he should be eating through the scenery like a wing-touched locust. Half the time he just ignores or doesn't answer direct questions posed by everyone from Regan to train conductors, like he's sulking because director Boorman promised him a drink and he isn't getting one. As the hours fritter by, Burton's shakes commence, or as he says as a much cooler priest in Night of the Iguana, "that's when the spook moves in." Burton at least got some opiate tea in that film, but he's pretty cut off in Heretic, and as the shakes come he tries to pass them off as holy madness, seizing his one chance at a diegetic libation by greedily gulping down a proffered sacramental wine goblet while atop the holy cliff in Africa. But as any alcoholic knows, one mere slam of wine when suffering booze withdrawal is like throwing a mug of water onto a bonfire. Lucky he gets stoned (literally) by the locals before heading back home to more holy shakes. Later he starts abusing Blair, feebly shoving her against a wall over and over in a futile attempt to kill her --death by feeble shoving! It's one of the most embarrassing displays of Satanic possession in cinema. Finally he succumbs to delirium tremens, and "locusts" start swarming all around him. Richard, there are no locusts, Why couldn't you have stopped at a liquor store?
The 7 Stations of a Dry Burton
|Station 1: Early morning Hangover
(still slightly drunk from night before)
|Station 2: Existential Panic
(drinks wear off completely)
|Station 3: Blind Rage / complete desperation
|Station 4: Brief Reprieve (sacrament)
So forget about logic. Forget about comparing the sequel to the original. Just appreciate the dark, fuzzy, muted cinematography of William Fraker (Rosemary's Baby), turn up the Morricone and pretend it's Fulci's wing that's touching you instead of Boorman's. And lastly, look at the shots below and see if you can guess, which ones are from Manhattan Baby and which from Exorcist 2. The answer... may surprise you!

Dr. Conrad Murray, the cardiologist at the center of the investigation into Michael Jackson's death, spent a relatively routine day back at his Houston clinic where he began seeing patients again Monday.
The doctor was welcomed back by his mostly elderly patients in an underserved community of Houston. Miranda Sevick, Murray's attorney's spokeswoman, said Murray saw seven patients.
"He hasn't lost a patient in Houston or Las Vegas," Sevick told ABCNews.com. "He's just thrilled to be back. The greatest joy of his life is working as a doctor. After being in exile and being able to hug his patients and shake their hands, he's never been so rejuvenated. He looks relaxed and happy."
"He had been hiding in his home in Las Vegas, but he needs to earn a living," Murray's lawyer Edward Chernoff told the Houston Chronicle. "He's under siege from creditors, has enormous legal fees and doesn't know whether he'll be able to support his family."
Though he remains the focus of the criminal investigation into Michael Jackson's death, which was ruled a homicide in August, Murray has never been charged and his medical license is "free and clear," according to Texas Medical Board spokeswoman Jill Wiggins.
Wiggins said unless Murray had a suspension or some disciplinary action brought against him, the board does not have authority to monitor his practice, including his prescription of medications. She would not confirm or deny whether Murray was currently under investigation by the board.
Sevick said there has been no move by the board to "censure him, bring him in for interview or anything regarding his medical license."
The board does have the right to temporarily suspend physicians pending an investigation if they are believed to present "imminent danger to the public or their patients," Wiggins said. "It would not appear that Dr. Murray's ability to practice medicine is impaired at this point."
Most of the ABCNews.com readers who wrote to us disagreed.
"Would you go to a cardiologist who can't even save someone who goes into cardiac arrest??? I think NOT!!!!!" wrote Kim from Illinois.
"I do not think he should be practicing elsewhere and I think he will have to suffer the consequences of his actions," nursing student Alison Casey of Lewiston, Idaho, wrote.
Annette Galloway of Jackson, Tenn., said she does not believe Murray should be charged with manslaughter but he should be sued for malpractice. "That said, I personally would not ever go to Dr. Murray as a patient," she wrote. He was very careless and I would not put my life is his hands."
But Bruce Alston of West Covina would have no problem seeing Murray. "I would go to Dr. Murray in a heartbeat," he wrote. No one is holding Michael Jackson accountable for his own death and if he didn't get the propofol from Dr. Murray, he would have used his power to get it from someone else. Jackson's death was just unfortunate."
"It's certainly a sitution of let the buyer beware," Robert Field, a professor of law and public health at Drexel University in Philadelphia, told ABCNews.com. "Presumably, any patient should know they are taking a risk."

Meier Clinics Foundation
The Meier Clinics Foundation is a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization. Since 2001, we have provided around $700,000 in charitable counseling and medical care annually as generous individuals and organizations who share our vision have helped to fund the Christian care provided by Meier Clinics. For a limited time, we are giving away copies of Dr. Meier's new book with the following minimum donations:
Following is a sample testimonial from one of the thousands of people who have benefited from the counseling care they received at one of the Meier Clinics programs:
"When I walked into your clinic, I felt totally hopeless. I now have hope again. I have learned a lot about myself here. The masks that I put on and the anger that I stuffed away has come out. I have freely released the fear that has kept me in bondage and have given back to God complete control of my life. Your staff has made such an impact in my life. You've given me a new beginning and a fresh start to my marriage. I will be eternally grateful!"
This is the kind of feedback we are privileged to hear every day at Meier Clinics throughout the nation! Lives are being changed daily due, in part, to the generosity of others in supporting Meier Clinics Foundation so those who do not have the financial resources necessary can receive the care they need. Our thanks to each of you who have partnered with us to bring hope, health, and healing to thousands. We can change the world together one life at a time.
Paul Meier, M.D.
Founder of Meier Clinics

Rockport-Fulton falls to explosive West Columbia in bi-district playoffs
Pirates finish their season at 6-5
VICTORIA - The Rockport-Fulton Pirates' game plan worked perfectly for 4 minutes and 25 seconds Thursday night. Then, Floyd Bess and the rest of the explosive seventh-ranked Columbia Roughnecks got their hands on the football.
The Roughnecks overcame Rockport-Fulton's game-opening touchdown drive in lightning-like fashion and scored 31 unanswered points to roll to a 34-15 victory over the Pirates in a Class 3A, Division I bi-district contest at Memorial Stadium.
The Roughnecks (11-0) will face the winner between Raymondville and Rio Grande City La Grulla.
Bess rushed for 144 yards on just seven carries and scored on first-half touchdown runs of 70 and 28 yards and caught a 38-yard touchdown pass on a fake punt in a 17-point Columbia third quarter.
But Rockport-Fulton, which finished the season with a 6-5 mark, quietened the partisan Roughneck crowd with a 67-yard touchdown drive on the game's opening possession. Running back Isaiah Mendiola, who rushed for 114 yards on 24 carries, ended the march with a 15-yard touchdown run and Slaton Hierholzer's extra point put the Pirates up 7-0 with 7:35 left in the first quarter.
The Roughnecks didn't need much time — just 12 seconds in fact — to answer. Bess raced 70 yards on Columbia's first play from scrimmage and Treylon Johnican's PAT tied the game at 7 at the 7:23 mark of the first quarter.
After the Pirates drove to the Columbia 5 on their next possession only to turn the ball over on a fumble by Darren Pham, the Roughnecks went up for good late in the first half with an eight-play, 71-yard march. Bess got the drive going with a 33-yard run and ended it with a zig-zagging 28-yard touchdown jaunt with 1:56 to go before halftime.
The Roughnecks tallied 17 points in the third quarter with Johnican kicking a 39-yard field goal and throwing his touchdown pass to Bess and a 28-yarder to Bradley Swanks to widen Columbia's lead to 31-7.
The Pirates then put together a 12-play, 74-yard scoring drive that was sparked by a 26-yard Stratton Williams pass to tight end Caleb Clark. Pham atoned for his earlier fumble by bulling 7 yards for the touchdown with 8:34 remaining in the game. Williams' 2-point pass to Mendiola pulled R-F within 31-15.
But after recovering a Pirate onside kick, Columbia put the game away with Johnican's 32-yard field goal with 4:17 to go.

Newspaper sparks outrage for publishing names, addresses of gun owners
Posted 26 December 2012 - 03:35 PM
(CNN) -- An interactive map showing the names and addresses of all handgun permit-holders in New York's Westchester and Rockland counties has drawn a response from mostly disgruntled readers since it was posted Saturday on a newspaper's website.
The interactive map published by the Journal News, prompting more than 1,300 comments as of Tuesday, allows readers to zoom in on red dots that indicate which residents are licensed to own pistols or revolvers.
"So should we start wearing yellow Stars of David so the general public can be aware of who we are??" wrote one commenter.
Fiery debate over guns in America Gun control and the 2nd Amendment Fareed's Take: Gun control
Some of those responding threatened to cancel their subscriptions or boycott the publication completely.
"I hope you lose readers now," wrote one.
The map came about in the wake of the massacre in Newtown, Connecticut, according to a statement from The Journal News.
"In the past week, conversation on our opinion pages and on our website, LoHud.com, has been keenly focused on gun control," the newspaper's editor and vice president, CynDee Royle, said in the statement.
The names and addresses of the two counties' permit-holding residents were obtained through the Freedom of Information Act. The website notes that the map does not indicate whether the residents own handguns, only that they are legally able to, and that the data do not pertain to rifles or shotguns -- which can be bought without a permit.
NRA doubles down: New gun laws won't work
Still, hundreds of residents were shocked to see their information posted without their being notified. Some said the map will prompt burglaries because thieves are now aware of where weapons are likely located.
"Now everyone knows where the legal guns are kept, a valuable piece of information for criminals," a commenter wrote. "Why don't you do something helpful, like trying to find out where the illegal guns are kept?"
The Journal News argued that residents have a right to access information regarding weapon holders in Westchester and Rockland communities.
"Our readers are understandably interested to know about guns in their neighborhoods," Royle said in her statement.

"Confiscation could be an option. Mandatory sale to the state could be an option. Permitting could be an option — keep your gun, but permit it."
Posted 26 December 2012 - 03:49 PM
Im sure any gun owner would choose to carry their weapons on them all the time in a holster if they were allowed, why get butthurt over a newspaper reporting actual facts?
Saying that it tempts criminals is bullshit, thats obvious fear-mongering at its finest.
Posted 26 December 2012 - 03:55 PM
That's all im saying and before it gets all crazy, the map only shows those who Cn have a handgun permit, not who does. it also excludes other firearm information.
So again, "journalism" at its absolute finest.

maybe I wouldn't want to be on some sort of public list (depends on the list we're talking about -- I can't even think of a list I'd object to being on, as long as it was accurate and public information), but if the information is public then I guess I don't really have much of a choice, anyway.

If I belonged to any sort of organized religion, would I want to be pinpointed on a map of all those involved in my religion?
the answer is no, I probably would not like that -- but on the other hand, if my religious convictions really were that strong, then why wouldn't I?
I can see how such a list could be used for discriminatory purposes -- namely if there were such a list of all Muslims or something.
I can see how that type of list could be asking for trouble, but again, it's only information... there's so many questions in life that don't have definite answers.
I think if I didn't want to be known as a Muslim, and I were a Muslim -- then the best choice would be to not advertise the fact -- but then you could be spotted going into a mosque.
Here's my answer after all this rambling: the second amendment specifically states "for a well regulated militia"
so -- isn't knowing who is bearing arms part of regulating the militia well? I think it's a sound argument. If you want to own a gun, then you are volunteering to be part of a well regulated militia should you be called upon by the government. Therefore, you are subject to any regulation deemed appropriate and necessary.

Joe Gransden Swings Friday Jazz @ The High Museum, Checks In With Jamal Ahmad
By Rob Maynard
Joe Gransden is the April artist for Friday Jazz At The High Museum. Atlanta's best remedy to Friday traffic jams is to head to Atlanta's great art museum for art and jazz jams. This Friday's event takes place from 5p-10p. WCLK's Jamal Ahmad is your emcee, and Joe Gransden is one of Atlanta's foremost players, singers, bandleaders and arrangers. He's also a friend of WCLK, so we can assure you this will be a great event for the WCLK family. You can also check out the current High Museum exhibits.
Joe stopped by the station along with the High's Jessica Joris to talk about that, and talk about his musical journey as well.

NESN.com staff will pick the two or three best Amica Coverage Plays of the previous week for games played from Friday night to Thursday night. Voting will begin every Friday morning and conclude on Monday. The offensive wheels were chugging for the Bruins on Monday night in their 6-2 romp of Carolina. Forward Rich Peverley got the Bruins started in the first period with his wraparound goal. Peverley took advantage of some sloppy Hurricanes neutral-zone play and used his speed to break in on net. Although he was initially stopped, Peverley took the rebound and wrapped past goaltender Justin Peters to give the Bruins a 1-0 lead. It got the offensive juices flowing in what turned out to be a fun night at TD Garden. Check out the Amica Coverage Cam breakdown of Peverley's goal in the video above.

Thread: What to do about our cat?
1. You could get cat-nets and give him an outside area so he has something else to do.
2. You can separate them to different parts of the house and get a scat mat so he isn't likely to chase the other cat.
3. A sedative/antidepressant can help with the aggression and dominance he is displaying. It worked on my aunts cat who got to the point he was humping cushions, them, the dogs, anything within reach. I forget which one works best but your vet will know or there's a cat vet specialist in Melbourne that is meant to be the best in Australia you could try them.
4. Don't get another cat if you get rid of him and have just the one. Or if the other dies Ninja doesn't sound like the kind of cat that needs a "friend". You're much better off getting two who have become friends in the shelter or kittens - which even that can change.
Hope that helps. You're doing the right thing seeking help before just dumping him at the RSPCA. Maybe you could find a farm where he can be an only cat?Smudge and Big Daddy

Thing is, if particularly the desex check don't solve it... do you want to be dosing your pet for the rest of his life? Assuming it works?
I too have a myriad of pets and have worked at vets, I'm a qualified biologist and would always opt for the option to keep the pet if possible, but I've also had an aggressive cat that never grew out of it and wasn't helped by having company from other animals. She didn't pee or a number of the other icky behaviours you listed, but, attacking my 90-ish year old grandmother around her legs, kickboxing and tripping her up (aggressively, not just in play)... not cool.
I hope you can try a couple of things at least and get some improvement...Me - 31, DH - 33, Twins - K and A 11/9/2006 (34w 1d)...and...*drumroll* L arrived via successful VBAC, 15th Oct '12~~19 April 2011 @ ~9.5 weeks... ectopic pregnancy removed after major complications~~

Smudge, thanks for your ideas.
1. we only have a sliding door so he can't let himself in and out and only a small backyard so having him on his harness is just as much freedom as having anything else outside to keep him contained.
2. The house is open plan with only doors on the bedrooms and bathrooms so no way of separating them. I googled scat mats and they are interesting.. might work for a few certain areas like where we keep the bags... something to think about
3. Definately planning on taking him to the vet after all the suggestions people have given. There seems to be a few avenues to explore and options to try. Just have to find the time as i am working full-time this week. Should be able to next week
4. Definately NOT getting another cat. it was hard enough convincing DH to get a second cat. I dont think we will ever be getting more cats after the experience we have had with Ninja, DH just wont allow itMarried to my best friend

menthem, you posted while i was writing my last reply. your perspective is also useful (i am so glad i asked about this i have been meaning to for ages! there have been lots of useful things to think about). I definately want to try some of the suggestions first, but i have wondered if it is just an 'in-built' thing.
what did you do with your cat?Married to my best friend

The way things panned out was basically that Nan went into a home, we moved to our new house (this is >6 years ago) when I was 4-5 months pregnant with the twins, and 3 of our 5 cats were rehomed. Two went to directly known friends (one even was taken to Melbourne by my Mum & step father and to this day we hear how she is going)... and the other was a very old cat and he was so settled in the neighbourhood, the neighbour took him on! He moved with them when they moved a year or two after we left, and I think he ended up staying with their neighbours... he was a very community-orientated cat... last report he was easily 16-18 years old
The last one we just didn't know what to do with... it came to putting her down, or taking her to the RSPCA and if she didn't get a home, put down. I could have gone back to find out, but I couldn't do it.
If I had my time again, to be quite honest, I'd be just getting her put to sleep.
ETA: when I eluded to their only being one option above, I meant, my only option would be to put him to sleep if the other things don't help.Me - 31, DH - 33, Twins - K and A 11/9/2006 (34w 1d)...and...*drumroll* L arrived via successful VBAC, 15th Oct '12~~19 April 2011 @ ~9.5 weeks... ectopic pregnancy removed after major complications~~

i have a cat that pees everywhere too also attacks me and quite often will take swipes at the baby as well ( if he goes anywhere near her ) , and if i could , i would get rid of her as she is making my life hell and i dont trust her as far as i could kick her ( i never have kicked her , just a phrase ) she is nasty and vindictive , so i know exactly what you mean . i cant get rid of her as my hubby adores her and she loves him but if i was in your shoes i would be having her put down . i say put down because i couldnt pass an animal on when it had major issues because the next owners might not be as nice as you are .
I agree also with getting him to the vets for a chat and a check up. There is medication that can help cats and dogs with behaviour issues. Ide also be looking into getting a cat enclosure for outside to give him some outside time alone as well. Spending several hours outside might help him calm down a little as well. You can get some great enclosures with all kinds of levels for climbing and have plants and shrubs at the bottom etc.
It all sounds completely like very very dominant behaviour. The peeing everywhere make sure you dont clean it with cleaning products that contain ammonia as to a cat that smells like another cats pee and makes them want to continue peeing there. Also try having 2 litter trays as he is may be refusing to go into one that been used by the other cat.
Ive worked in a vet hospital for many years and to be honest we have put cats to sleep in the past for the constant peeing everywhere or the aggression. IMO I dont think it is fair to the cat or to new unsuspecting owners to try and rehome a cat with that many behavioural issues.
If it was my own cat Ide be trying medication and outside time in a large enclosure and possibly going to an animal behaviour specialist, there are a few around, they cost a fair bit and you have to be prepared to put a lot of time and effort into trying to correct the problems. From what Ive seen Ide say about 5% of people go to an animal behaviourist for cats with issues because of how hard it is to fix the problems.
Good luck with it all you sound like a very very caring and responsible owner. I adore companion animals but I am also of the practical opinion that if a pet is causing you untold stress and putting pressures on your human relationships at home and you have done all you can do to correct something and it isnt working than I think euthanasia of that animal is not only a reasonable option but quite sensible.
Ive only ever had the cat peeing everywhere dilemma and that by itself was really hard I cant imagine having to cope with aggression as well in your cat.

We had a cat that brought in snakes on a regular basis. Most of them were tree snakes so that was OK, but when the cat brought in a Tiger Snake during a birthday party I had to get the reptile catcher around in a hurry for advice. He told us to clean up the yard to keep the snakes away and the kids safe. Yes we had rubbish lying around. If you have a cat bringing in snakes then check this site out for advice snake and reptile safety as it may save you time and hassles with snake prevention.
