Former WEC Bantamweight Champion Miguel Torres Arrested For Marijuana Possession
Category: News | Posted on Sun, September, 1st 2013 by THCFinder
Former WEC bantamweight champion Miguel Torres was arrested for marijuana possession in Indiana last week. The 32-year-old posted a $1,500 cash bond, according to the Marshall County Sheriff's Department. His booking was posted as part of the department's arrests between August 24-25, according to MMA Junkie.
Torres made his WEC debut on September 5, 2007 at WEC 30. He defeated Jeff Bedard by triangle choke submission at 2:30 in the first round, improving his professional MMA record to 33-1. His sole loss at that point was to Ryan Ackerman at IHC 6: Inferno in November 2003.
Torres got his revenge two years later at IHC 9: Purgatory, defeating Ackerman by arm bar submission at 4:45 in the first round. Miguel Torres won the bantamweight championship in his second WEC fight, defeating Chase Beebe by guillotine choke submission at WEC 32 on February 13, 2008. He successfully defend his title three times before losing it to Brian Bowles by at WEC 42 on August 9, 2009. Bowles beat Torres by KO at 3:57 in the first round. After WEC merged with the UFC in October 2010, Torres made his promotional debut at UFC 126 on February 5, 2011.
He defeated Antonio Banuelos by unanimous decision. He lost his next fight to Demetrious Johnson by unanimous decision on May 28, 2011 at UFC 130, bringing his record to 39-4. Torres was released from the UFC on December 8, 2011, after quoting the Comedy Central series Workaholics on his Twitter account.
The quote read, "If a rape van was called a surprise van more women wouldn't mind going for rides in them. Everyone likes surprises."

Harvard Study Finds Cannabis Cuts Tumor Growth In Half In Three Weeks
Category: Medical Marijuana | Posted on Sat, August, 31st 2013 by THCFinder
A Harvard study from 2007 which remains the most comprehensive ever released on THC's potential to combat tumors found that in just three weeks doses of THC were able to cut lung cancer tumor growth in half in mice subjects, and were able to reduce cancer lesions by even more.
For the study, Harvard researchers tested THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, which is found naturally in cannabis) on cancer cells in labs, and followed that up by studying mice subjects.
The lab demonstration found that doses of THC inhibited growth and spread in the cancer cells; "When the cells are pretreated with THC, they have less EGFR stimulated invasion as measured by various in-vitro assays," states Anju Preet, PhD, who was one of the researchers for the study.
Following the lab test, researchers dosed mice – which were implanted with human lung cancer cells – with THC, and found that in just three weeks, tumors were reduced in both size and weight by roughly 50% compared to a control group. According to Preet, cancer lesions on the lungs were also reduced – by nearly 60% – and there was as a significant reduction in "protein markers" associated with cancer progression.
Researchers predict that THC had such a positive effect on combating tumors because it activates molecules that arrest the cell cycle, and may also interfere with the processes of angiogenesis and vascularization, which lead to cancer growth.
Over 6 years since its original release, this study remains one of the most important cannabis-related studies ever released.

Marijuana Ruling Could Signal End of Prohibition on Cannabis
Category: News | Posted on Sat, August, 31st 2013 by THCFinder
It's legal to light up in Colorado and Washington, and soon smoking pot could be legalized across the country following a decision Thursday by the federal government.
After Washington state and Colorado passed laws in November 2012 legalizing the consumption and sale of marijuana for adults over 18, lawmakers in both states waited to see whether the federal government would continue to prosecute pot crimes under federal statutes in their states.
Both Colorado and Washington have been working to set up regulatory systems in order to license and tax marijuana growers and retail sellers, but have been wary of whether federal prosecutors would come after them for doing so. They are the first states to legalize pot, and therefore to go through the process of trying to set up a regulatory system.
Consumption and sale of marijuana is still illegal in all other states, though some cities and towns have passed local laws decriminalizing it or making it a low priority for law enforcement officers. There are also movements in many states to legalize pot, including legalization bills introduced in Maine and Rhode Island, discussion of possible bills in states including Massachusetts and Vermont, and talk of ballot initiatives in California and Oregon.
But on Thursday, the Department of Justice announced that it would not prosecute marijuana crimes that were legal under state law, a move that could signal the end of the country's longtime prohibition on pot is nearing. "It certainly appears to be potentially the beginning of the end," said Paul Armantano, deputy director of the pot lobby group NORML.
The memo sent to states Thursday by the DOJ said that as long as states set up comprehensive regulations governing marijuana, there would be no need for the federal government to step in, a decision that will save the Justice Department from having to use its limited resources on prosecuting individuals for growing or smoking marijuana.
"This memo appears to be sending the message to states regarding marijuana prohibition that is a recognition that a majority of the public and in some states majority of lawmakers no longer want to continue down the road of illegal cannabis, and would rather experiment with different regulatory schemes of license and retail sale of cannabis," Armantano said.

School selected for Government's 3D printing study
Posted: November 15, 2012|
A TOP-PERFORMING school has been selected to take part in a Government study about high-tech printing.
Simon Langton Girls' School in Canterbury is one of 20 maths and science schools across the country to take part in the trial of 3D printing and how it could help with teaching academic subjects.
Acting head of technology James Brady and deputy head teacher Rob Green visited the Department for Education to discuss the project.
They are now setting up a student task force.
Mr Brady said: "We will set about developing teaching methods and resources to explore this exciting new classroom resource."
The school is being sent a Makerbot 3D printer this month and then must report on the year-long study.
Mr Brady said: "This is a specific government study which could have implications for science, technology, maths and engineering taught in schools across the country."
The school will also receive a grant to buy accessories and support from the printer's maker.
Officials hope the project will encourage more pupils to study science, technology and maths.
Several schools already use 3D printers in design and technology where they create solid objects from models designed on computers.

2 Chainz goes to bat with French Montana on his new single "A-Rod." The Atlanta rapper debuted the song live during his "2 G.O.O.D. to Be T.R.U. Tour" at New York's Roseland Ballroom last month.
He pays homage to the suspended Yankees player on the Young Chop banger. "Smokin' on that strong, that's that steroid / They tryna kick me out like A-Rod / I used to run the base like A-Rod," raps 2 Chainz, who is working on his next album B.O.A.T.S. III.
Look out for the video, which premiered yesterday on REVOLT.

Refers to the inevitable four step Evolutional stages of Capitalism, both on national and international levels. This process is categorised in to four consecutive levels or steps.
( National level )
1- Economic Capitalism: All focus and activity is exclusively involved with matters of Finance and Industry.
2- Crony or Corrupt Capitalism: This refers to a process whereby Capitalism spills over in to politics and via various special interest or lobby groups it is able to influence government legislation and policies etc.
3- State Capitalism or Socialism: This refers to when Capitalism ultimately replaces the conventional national government or state and essentially becomes the state or system of government.
( International Level )
4- The final and ultimate stage, with in the Evolutional path of Capitalism is when State Capitalism ( Socialism ) is spread across the glob as a ruling power. This is the point in time when the system has been installed in every country of the world. When this occurs, all traditional or conventional systems of governments and politics will be cast aside and in its stead a single universal global system is put in to place, a New Universal System. This system is not based on any single or given political doctrine or ideology, but rather it is a purely Capitalist system, an economical system whereby all peoples of the world are no longer perceived as citizens, but rather they are viewed as commodities very much like live stock, cattle or sheep. Where before every person had the natural right to life as a human being, under the new system this is no longer the case. Instead a persons right to life is measured exclusively on the bases of his or her economical or monetary worth or value to the system. This final stage on an international level is when we have pure universal State Capitalism or Communism.
State Capitalism/Crony Capitalism/Socialism is brought about when Capitalism and politics are merged, whereby the difference between politics and Capitalism is no longer definable, and that the state is transformed into a Capitalist entity where matters of state are no longer condoned for the purpose of which it had been initially established, which, in most cases is to safeguard and maintain the safety, prosperity and security of the whole citizen body. In State Capitalism it becomes simply a machine focused explicitly on the making of profit for an elite few regardless of what measures or methods it uses in order to achieve this or the impact it may have on the country as a whole.

When the state is about to implement certain changes to the Constitution or laws of a Republic, which may generate an unfavorable reaction from its citizens, and so therefor may result in wide spread out cry and possibly revolt towards the state....it is imperative that the state in turn takes the necessary precautions and measures so to both secure and protect its position.....it can do so by creating a safety valve whereby this powerful and potentially dangerous energy can be contained and channeled towards an objective beneficial to the state.....so that it cannot in any way hinder or challenge the state and its objective, while in the same since allow a means for the people to express and vent there angers and frustrations under a controlled environment, while at the same time giving the people the delusion that they and not the state are in control of the situation...so now the question is this.....what form of environment would be most sufficient, suitable and most effective in bringing about such a task???....the answer?....simple...the best way for a state to contain, control or channel the progress or direction of a revolt, uprising or even a revolution...is that it ( The state ) IS THE ONE WHO INITIATES AND ORGANIZES IT! (with out the people having any knowledge of this of course )...this way it can monitor and control the direction of any given movement or uprising while at the same time giving the people a life line whereby they are able to channel there frustrations and concerns, while at the same time they pose no threat to the position of the state, or the states objective!.....

Re: Dave Weckl
wow...in my haste to post..I totally missed the thread about his kit on ebay.
Man...have seen so many legendary kits on ebay....there must be a thread on here somewhere about that...I mean some not so legendary but cool...haha
I remember seeing the Greg Bissonnette "Eat'em and smile" HUGE Yamaha kit on there as well as Tommy Lee's "Theater of Pain" white Sonors and perhaps the craziest one I saw was Neil Peart's candy apple red Tama's (from MANY albums)...I remember when he unloaded them on a modern drummer contest...anyone remember that ?...think was in late 80's. He had a contest, you send in a 2 minute long drum solo...the top 3 got one of his kits....1st prize being that red Tama kit (for the record the 2nd place prize and one I would have loved) was the mahogany Tamas from Moving Pictures among others....then 3rd place won the Slingerlands from the older Rush days. Man time flies.....seems like only yesterday I was cursing and throwing drumsticks around my bedroom in disgust. Trying to capture 2 decent minutes of my playing on cassette thru a beatbox (lol) to send in. I never did, instead just got many 2 minute clips of just playing as fast as i could and just a ball of energy with NO direction. I finally chickend out realizing who I would probably be going up against,.....I was right.
I guess I wasn't such a naive kid at that point. Anyway what were we talking about? haha
sorry for the babble...slow day at work.............. ;)

A Tonsillectomy Tale
Yesterday morning I woke up my daughter at dark-thirty and gently reminded her that she needed to get up and get dressed because the day of her long-awaited tonsillectomy had arrived. She responded by pulling her covers tightly over her head and saying "I changed my mind. I don't want to do it."
I chuckled, patted her legs, and said, "C'mon! You're going to feel so much better without those things!"
She stayed in bed. "It's okay," she said. "I'm fine. Go ahead and cancel it. I'm good."
"Okay, cool," I said. "I'll call the surgery center and tell them you've decided to keep your gnarly, infected tonsils and that you've grown attached to this overall feeling of malaise you've been experiencing since July. Sounds like the smart way to go!"
"Okay, FINE!" she said, surfacing from underneath the covers. And before I knew it, we were out the door and on our way to the surgery center.
On our way through our small town, we picked up my daughter's best friend Meg, who my daughter had requested to come along on our journey because all my daughter's angst relating to her upcoming tonsillectomy had two sources:
1. She has a pathological fear of needles
2. She was afraid she'd be awake during the operation and remember everything about it, despite all my assurances that anesthesia has amnesic qualities and that she wouldn't remember a thing.
And she just wanted her friend along. She's fourteen, after all.
On our drive over, Meg and I used all but twelve words in the English language to assure my daughter that a) the needle stick relating to the IV lasts only a millisecond and b) she would not be awake during the surgery.
"But I'm a very light sleeper," she countered.
"Anesthesia doesn't put you to sleep," I said, because I'm an amateur physician and I know these things. "It renders you unconscious. It's a completely different state than sleep."
"What if it doesn't work on me?" she asked. "What if it's a bad batch of medicine? What if they don't give me enough? I'm very tall. What if I'm awake but I can't move and they don't know I'm awake? I don't want to hear any crunchy sounds. I'm nervous. Do I have to get an IV? Am I going to throw up?"
Fortunately, Meg had had an emergency appendectomy a couple of years ago, so she was able to respond with some degree of experience to her friend's cries for help. Never mind that I had had a tonsillectomy during my teenage years, not to mention three vaginal births, one c-section, and a root canal! But I guess that wasn't exactly the kind of perspective my daughter was seeking. She needed to know that her best friend on earth had been stuck with a needle and put under…then had come out the other side.
The drive to the surgery center was long, and by the time we pulled into the parking lot I was dying for some coffee. This town has a Starbucks, and I had prepped my psyche for two Venti lattes and probably a couple of those mini vanilla bean scones (recipe here–this is a full-service website!) Meg, too–we'd agreed that once we deposited my daughter into the hands of the surgical staff, we were going to make a beeline for Starbucks and load up on supplies. It was 6:50 am at this point, and I was starting to feel the pinch.
When we went through the check-in process, the nurse took us through all the forms and had me sign here and initial there as she explained what forms I was signing and initialing. When we got to the last form, she said, "Okay, and this one just says you agree not to leave the facility during the procedure."
I looked at her and raised my eyebrow. "Yeah, but you don't really mean that, right?"
She looked at me and raised her eyebrow. "Yes. It's a policy. You are not allowed to leave the facility while the procedure is going on." Then she punched me in the kidney. Not really, but that's what it felt like.
I was sure there had to have been a mistake. "You know I'm not the patient, right?" I asked. I thought she must have been under the mistaken impression that I was the patient and she needed to remind me that I had to be there for the duration. Of course, why would she be advising me not to leave the facility during the procedure when I would be under general anesthesia at the time? Without coffee, this was all very confusing to me.
That's when Meg stepped in, "Ree Ree, I think she's saying that you can't go to Starbucks because you're the mother and you sorta…need to stay here."
That's when I was ready to pack it in and let my daughter live with her infected tonsils and the general feeling of malaise she's experienced since July.
We then had a short time in the waiting room that involved my trying to figure out how to have Starbucks delivered to the surgery center and my daughter firing off a litany of last-minute concerns such as what happens if I dream during the operation and what if I bend my arm when the IV is in place and where does the blood go during the surgery and I'm going to go hide in the car.
Before we knew it, the three of us were in a small pre-op room, and my daughter was in a hospital gown and getting hooked up to an IV.
My daughter would like me to share this photo with you because she thinks it's funny.
The administration of the IV pretty much went by without a hitch (but not without a funny face) but resulted in my daughter involuntarily shaking minutes later—one of those violent all-body shake situations. Fortunately, she found this funny and was laughing, but then that mixed with her terror over the imminent surgery and she was basically a shaking, laughing mess with wide eyes. And then they stuck a surgical cap on her head, which made the whole thing even more comical. Then the anesthesiologist came in and gave her a little pre-op sedative to make her relax and Meg and I watched as her wide eyes turned into chilled out eyes and her manic smile into a relaxed, contented one. Then she started touching her face like, "Whoa, that's trippy. My face is so soft, bro." And Meg and I cracked up. Repeatedly.
Then they wheeled her off to surgery and Meg and I returned to the waiting room and I asked her if it would be weird if I made a break for it and ran to Starbucks.
"Yes," Meg replied. "That would be weird."
I didn't talk to Meg for ten whole minutes.
But shortly after that, we somehow started talking about gross things. I should tell you that Meg, my daughter, Meg's mom Hyacinth, and I share a bond over our obsession with gross things like cysts. I won't tell you that we have spent time together watching YouTube videos of such things, because that would be really weird and I don't want to admit it out loud. But anyway, once Meg and I started talking cysts and boils we've known and loved throughout our lives, the time really flew by and the before we knew it the doctor (whose brother co-wrote the Anita Baker song "Giving You the Best That I Got"–please listen to it today) was calling for us to come back to the recovery room. But first he took us into a small meeting room to give us a recap on the surgery.
"She did great," the sweet doctor said. "No problems at all."
"Oh, good," I exclaimed, relieved. Then I said, "Thank you, doctor, for giving us the best that you got."
I didn't really say that.
But then the doctor told me something that I'm afraid may have altered the course of my life.
"Her tonsils were the worst I've seen in…well, in awhile," he reported.
Meg and I sat up taller in our chairs. "Really?" I said. "What do you mean?"
"Oh, they were just filled with nasty yellow gunk—and when I put a little pressure on them, they just squirted fluid everywhere."
I looked at Meg.
Meg looked at me.
"So I'm really glad we got 'em out of there," the doctor continued. "She's going to feel much better."
Then he said something about it'll be another ten minutes or so before we can see her, but all Meg and I heard was yellow gunk.
"Call your mom," I said to Meg as soon as the doctor was out of the room, and I made her tell Hyacinth what the doctor said, word for word. Simultaneously, I called Marlboro Man and reported that our precious daughter had made it through the surgery just fine. I told him the tonsils were bad, but I stopped short of relaying the details of the yellow gunk. Things like that are meant to be sacred between Meg, Hyacinth, my daughter, and me. Oh, and you guys.
Within ten minutes, we were bedside in the recover room, rubbing my girl's feet and helping her drink water. I got tears in my eyes because even though she's fourteen, she looked all of five lying there on the table, woozy and weak. I thought about how brave she is, and how fragile, and how I'm only going to have her for less than four more years. And I don't want her fwoat to hurt. Poor wittle baby.
The recovery nurse took me through all the post-op instructions and had me sign some forms, then as we were leaving, I couldn't help it and involuntarily asked "Oh, by the way—where are those tonsils now?" I needed to see them.
I could swear I heard Meg utter a very quiet, "Oh, yes!"
"Oh, they had to send them over to pathology," she said. "That's routine for any tissue that's removed."
"Oh, I see," I replied, heading out the door to pull the car around for my daughter.
And then it came out. Again: I couldn't help it.
"So," I asked the nurse. "What's that address for the pathology building again?"
Okay, fine. I didn't ask her that.
But I sure as heck wanted to.
Off to town to buy Popsicles,
(Thank you all for your kind comments and emails—and for your well-wishes and prayers. I've passed them along to my wittle five-year-old daughter!)

Thanks for posting. My son is 20 and is in the Navy. He has been horribly sick the past couple of weeks and will have to have his tonsils out after Christmas. Now I can picture him going through it ….. without me there. : ( But at least his sweet girlfriend will be with him so that's a plus.
Donna On Wednesday, December 7 at 11:10 am
Great job! I still have mine…maybe that is why I never feel good – wonder if it is too late at 53 to have your tonsils out and feel like you're 25 again!! Get well soon!
Emily @ LittleLeafLane On Wednesday, December 7 at 11:13 am
Glad your wittle girl is okay! She'll feel so much better now. Ready the mashed potatoes for when the popsicles get old! I got my tonsils out about 3 years ago, and my husband got his out this past June (while I was 8 months pregnant). We both had the lovely yellow gunk-infested tonsils, although I'm pretty sure mine would rival your daughter's. The gunk is actually tonsil stones, or tonsilloliths…google them. The stones were about 85.9% of the reason I got mine removed..I could feel them in my tonsils. The doc said that when he grasped my tonsils, they shot out like fireworks. Eewwww.
Cathie On Wednesday, December 7 at 11:17 am
Hope she is feeling good today. I had mine out at 21 and had to be awake with just a local ansethesia. It was awful and I couldn't talk for about a week and was convinced they had damaged my vocal cords. When both my girls had to have theirs out at 2 years old, I was terrified for them but they got along much better than I did. One of them even requested a tuna sandwich on toast with Lay's on top and ate it the evening of the surgery.
Robin from Kent WA On Wednesday, December 7 at 11:19 am
i am glad she came through the surgery well, and she is at home recovering, she will need some milkshkes, and pop cycles
Missy On Wednesday, December 7 at 11:19 am
So happy everything went so well! I had mine out when I was so little I didn't have the knowledge to ask what mine looked like
annie b On Wednesday, December 7 at 11:20 am
So glad her surgery went well and was uneventful (except for your lack of a caffeine fix…) She will feel so much better after she had recuperated. I know my daughter did — and her voice even changed — she didn't have that nasal congested sound anymore. Give her a hug for me!
Ellen On Wednesday, December 7 at 11:21 am
I had my tonsils out when I was 13, I was so sick and anemic prior to surgery. I was and on and off antibiotics for several years. It was like a miracle, no more ear or throat infections, ever! I hope your daughter has a good outcome too. Weird memory-I remember leaving the hospital and hearing on the radio about the rescue of Patty Hearst, I guess it must have been 1973.
Rachel On Wednesday, December 7 at 11:23 am
Best wishes on her recovery!! I wish I could get mine out. If you like gross things, look into tonsil stones. I get them (thankfully not as bad as some of the people on youtube), but they smell and cause throat irritation and are just generally nuisances. I wish I could get my tonsils removed, but I've heard the surgery can be pretty painful/dangerous for adults. Ah well. So, eldest daughter can now rejoice she will never have to deal with tonsil stones.
Patty On Wednesday, December 7 at 11:27 am
Poor little thing! I hope she's starting to feel better today! I had my tonsils out when I was 19 (on New Years Eve of all days – missed one of the best parties of the year, or so I was told), and mine were in the same shape as hers….chronically infected with goo – although I think my goo was green. Have you told her about the goo yet? Wait, of course you have! I wanted to see my tonsils too after I heard that, but alas, they also went to pathology. Sigh.
Katie On Wednesday, December 7 at 11:27 am
Hope she feels better soon! I had my tonsils out in 3rd grade and the best part were the popsicles and being introduced to a lovely character named Anne of Green Gables who happened to be on during a PBS telethon during my recovery at home!
emmy A On Wednesday, December 7 at 11:27 am
It's so good to hear someone admit they like gross things too. My dad's a veterinarian and our dinner conversations were, let's say, colorful most of the time. I forget sometimes that normal people don't take joy in seeing someone lance a giant abscess on a cow's neck, but it's just the most satisfying thing. Thank you for making me feel more normal about my fascination with gross things too!
Kristin L On Wednesday, December 7 at 11:28 am
Ree, I'm so glad she did well during the surgery. I hope she enjoys all the popsicles and ice cream and that the recovery goes quickly. :0)
Alex, feel better sweetie! And since your mom thinks you are 5 right now you should take advantage and make her do all your chores. ;0)
Annette in CA On Wednesday, December 7 at 11:28 am
I hope she feels better soon!, I had mine out when I was 14 years old, she will be so much better without them!
jacqui On Wednesday, December 7 at 11:30 am
you can tell your daughter that i'm 22 and recently went in for a very routine surgery in which i had to be put under and i am ALSO pathologically scared of needles and IV's. i am 22, let me remind you, and i cried hysterically until the time they put the "sleepy stuff" in my veins and i was rendered unable to cry. i swear i got weird looks from every doctor, nurse, patient and anesthesiologist we passed on the way to the operating room. but then again i can barely watch grey's anatomy without puking. some people just aren't cut out to go anywhere near hospitals lol
Kattie On Wednesday, December 7 at 11:34 am
…now all i can think about is how bad I want to sqeeze all that yellow gunk out of her tonsils. Hopefully I never get tonsillitis, otherwise I'll try doing it to myself.
Brooke On Wednesday, December 7 at 11:35 am
I had a tonsillectomy last year…at the age of 29. Not fun. Not fun at all. Actually, it wasn't too bad until day 3. Then I thought I was dying and it felt like someone was trying to get to my throat through my ears…with a spoon! Okay, I have no idea what that feels like, but the pain was unbelievable. I hope, since your daughter is much younger than I, she will whiz through recovery and have very little to no pain at all.
Oh, and you want to gear gross?! My mom showed my sisters and I a picture of my dad's colonoscopy…the inside of course. Ick! Who does that to their daughters?
Sarah B. On Wednesday, December 7 at 11:36 am
I'm so glad all went well! Day 3 is DEFINITELY the worst. I remember the doctor saying something similar to us when DS had his tonsils and adenoids out. It went something along the lines of, "Well, the *fronts* were just fine, but the backs were… *grimace* Well, they were huge. And gross."
Gotta love it
Kelly Eaton On Wednesday, December 7 at 11:38 am
I really hope your little baby is feeling better today! Today is probably going to be harder that yesterday. When my girls had their tonsils & adenoids removed it seemed to get worse before it got better. We are praying for quick healing! Hope you finally got your Starbucks & scones ;O)
Sally Case On Wednesday, December 7 at 11:38 am
Loved this post! So glad that all is well. I hope you had a couple of popsicles too! No Starbucks…what an unhappy ending!!
Jenny On Wednesday, December 7 at 11:38 am
Get well soon, Alex! Now just lay back and let your momma wuv all over her wittle angel!
West TX Judy On Wednesday, December 7 at 11:39 am
OHHHHH, you get to eat ALL of the ice cream you want now….yeah, right I remember those days too…well, God speed for a fast recovery and I hope you feel great very soon…prayers go up for you gal. chow/jfs
Cynthia On Wednesday, December 7 at 11:40 am
Wishing your sweet daughter a speedy recovery. She will always be your baby, no matter how tall she gets Not that you didn't know this.
Yuck and interesting about the tonsils!
Cyn On Wednesday, December 7 at 11:41 am
ooo. yuck! now i have visions of spurting yellow gunk. bleck! Hope she feels better soon! (i'm sure she will if they were that nasty infected…..eeeeeewwwwwwiiiiieee!) So glad she has such a wonderful friend. If everyone had a friendship like that the world would be a better place. Get well soon!
Laura R On Wednesday, December 7 at 11:43 am
My prayers have been said for a speedy recovery! My son just had surgery two weeks ago, he torn the ligament in his elbow wrestling. I too teared up when I went to see him in recovery,seeing all 6 feet of his 15 year-old frame laying in the bed, it just got to me. I love cysts. My family loves cysts. We all gather around the computer and watch them. When new video poops up and my oldest was away at college we would call her and simultaneously watch them together.Simple pleasures!
cindi On Wednesday, December 7 at 11:45 am
Wishing your daughter a speedy recovery!
Robin in New Jersey On Wednesday, December 7 at 11:47 am
Surgery is so nerve wracking! Glad to read all went well.
I was eating pasta salad when I got to the yellow gunk part. gag…
Jennifer Ryder On Wednesday, December 7 at 11:51 am
I'm so glad that everything went well for your daughter. Our son had his out when he was 4. He started bleeding later in the day so we had to go back to the surgeon. He couldn't get the bleeding to stop so we had to go to the hospital. Our poor son had to have a 2nd surgery and spend the night in the hospital. He recovered much more quickly than I did!! The next morning I went and got my husband an egg sandwich and our son asked "Where's mine??" He had a really sore neck for a few weeks after the surgery.
Even though it was such a scary time the surgery was worth it. Our son was a lot healthier and didn't snore anymore while he slept. It was funny that his voice changed after he got rid of those nasty things taking up too much room in his throat.
Angela W On Wednesday, December 7 at 11:51 am
I'm so glad that it's over and she is home now…I know what would make her feel better…she needs a kitty to crawl up in bed with her…makes me feel better every time!!!
tinaehb3 On Wednesday, December 7 at 11:54 am
Speedy recovery too your daughter! I had my tonsils taken out in the 3rd grade and I took them to school in a jar for show and tell. I can still remember like it was yesturday standing in front of the class holding up the jar,lol.
Laura K On Wednesday, December 7 at 11:56 am
I am so glad to hear that it went well. I have an eight year old daughter who has has seven surgeries in her short life. She has a condition called bilateral cholesteatoma. It is extremely rare to have it bilaterally. Basically it is skin that has invaded her middle ear and eats away at anything that gets in it way. The only treatment is to surgically remove it. She has moderate to severe hearing loss and has to wear hearing aids. She can never swim by herself because she could get dizzy if water gets in her ears and become disoriented and drown, but other than that she is good. Even though we have been through this so many times it never gets easier. Luckily they think they have it pretty much under control and that she won't need another surgery for a while. She will have to be monitored for it the rest of her life though because if it does start growing again it can invade the brain and cause encephalitis. I hope your daughter recovers quickly and feels much better in the long run. My thoughts and prayers are with you all!
karla @ bluegrass jewelry designs On Wednesday, December 7 at 11:57 am
So glad her surgery went well. I hope she has a speedy recovery.
Carolyn On Wednesday, December 7 at 11:57 am
All my daughter's fears were realized when the surgeon discovered she had 4 loose teeth, and the surgery would be done under a local anesthetic. She suffered through the entire procedure hearing (and seeing) all that was done. She refused to talk to me for two weeks afterwards, and when she did the first thing out of her mouth was "They made me watch!" When I had gallbladder surgery, they gave me my stones, which I took to work and totally grossed out my boss. I was very disappointed that the stones finally disintegrated after many years and couldn't share them anymore! I'm glad your daughter did well with the surgery and pray she has a speedy recovery.
DebbieD On Wednesday, December 7 at 11:58 am
So I have to tell you that well my son got his tonsils out he WANTED them….to keep them in a jar. They don't allow that anymore, but his surgeon brought them out on a tray so that I could take a picture of them before he sent them to pathology. They were safety pinned together and he told me they found the safety pin in them. After I about fainted, he said, "Joking!" Any way they were also full of yellow puss.
Kathy Powell On Wednesday, December 7 at 11:58 am
She will feel better….and will forget the whole thing. I had mine out at 21 and had complications, but the younger they are the better it goes. Hope she is on the mend and yeah, I am addicted to youtube boil bursting…..and my family thinks I am strange!
Mama M. On Wednesday, December 7 at 11:59 am
So glad things went well…I'm now looking up pathology labs in Oklahoma to try to see if I can break in and squeeze the heck out of those tonsils. I know EXACTLY that kind of weird obsession…in fact, one of my very best friends claims she became a doctor because, and I quote, she "likes to pop things".

Get well soon wishes to your daughter! Surgery is never fun but I'll bet she will feel soooo much better.
Erika On Wednesday, December 7 at 12:02 pm
Glad everything is okay! Hope she feels better soon!!!
Candy On Wednesday, December 7 at 12:02 pm
sounds a lot better than when I had mine out back when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Please tell me you got to Starbuck's. Hope your girl is feeling better.
Libby On Wednesday, December 7 at 12:04 pm
Oh gosh, while I cannot relate to liking gross stuff (this post almost made me pass out), I can totally relate to your daughter's fear of needles. I had several surgeries when I was around your daughter's age, and I hate hate hate the IV part. Had that picture been of me, I would have been held down by the hospital's largest nurse, like the guy they use when crack addicts come in and try and fight ER staff, I kid you not. I tried to escape the surgery room right before my procedure by insisting I needed to go to the restroom…I was offered a pan. Turns out, I didn't need to go.
Cait On Wednesday, December 7 at 12:04 pm
You should've asked if you could keep them! I kept my wisdom teeth after they came out. My aunt kept hers too– even made the suckers into earrings. (No joke!)
DARA GATES On Wednesday, December 7 at 12:13 pm
You don't get to keep body parts as they are considered a biological hazard.
Chris L On Wednesday, December 7 at 12:07 pm
Poor girl. Hope she's feeling better soon. My niece recently had hers taken out and once you pass day 4, you are doing good. Best wishes!
DARA GATES On Wednesday, December 7 at 12:11 pm
I wonder if they knew just how lucky they were to get to meet, 'The Pioneer Woman', up close and personal. I had mine out when I was 3 and my sister was 5. My parents didn't want to go through it again. It was a traumatic experience for a 3 year old, but I won't go into that. I still wonder if the registration for kindergarten included the stipulation that your child have his/her tonsils out as EVERY child in my small town had theirs out prior to starting school. I grew up to be a surgical nurse and have inserted many an IV; especially in the under 5 set. I hope your daughter is well on her way to a full recovery.
Heather On Wednesday, December 7 at 12:12 pm
Glad your daughter's surgery went well. I hope she feels better quickly!
This post made me laugh out loud! We all have friends we like to talk about those things with. haha!
J Smiles On Wednesday, December 7 at 12:12 pm
Praying for complete healing and that your daughter will feel much better. Popsicles, Jell-0, smoothies, etc. will feel good to the throat and not hurt going down. From an amateur nurse! LOL!
mnheather On Wednesday, December 7 at 12:16 pm
How she has a speedy recovery! I had mine out at age 35 – best decision ever – should have had it done at your daughter's age…
Jennifer S. On Wednesday, December 7 at 12:16 pm
Haha. You're a hoot. I am so glad everything went well and may she have a speedy recovery!!
I dont know how you moms do it. I dont have children, and the more time goes on, the more I think God was right in that decision.
My husband and I kept my great-neice for about 30 minutes last night and I know I told my husband, "Make sure she ok," about 300 times in that 30 minute time span. I also got up to look at her very closely to make sure she was ok abour 450 times in that 30 minute time span AND I scared the bejeebers out of her at least twice when I tapped her rather urgently to make sure she was ok.
Again, best wishes to you all!
JaneO On Wednesday, December 7 at 12:16 pm
I had my tonsils out at the age of 30 – ended up in the hospital over a week, and lost 25 lbs (which I didn't need to do back then!) – so tell your "little one" she's well off getting it done now!
Leslie On Wednesday, December 7 at 12:16 pm
I hope your daughter gets to feeling better really soon. I am happy to hear everything went well with the surgery.
quinn On Wednesday, December 7 at 12:18 pm
Because I asked him to please, please take a picture (I had expected to be able to watch the procedure LIVE on a screen, but then found out I would be completely "under"), the surgeon who removed my gall bladder took an entire SERIES of photographs – some from inside my body!!! – and even wrote a caption for each. He said it was the most pictures he has ever taken during a procedure. It made me very happy, but there aren't many people who have wanted to see them
Constance On Wednesday, December 7 at 12:18 pm
That post is one of your VERY best, Ree! I laughed outloud several times. Has the patient felt up to reading it yet? My very best wishes to her for a speedy recovery and to somehow keep her little brothers out of the therapeutic popsicles.
Andrea On Wednesday, December 7 at 12:19 pm
Okay, that was really gross, but really funny!
Cathy Hooks On Wednesday, December 7 at 12:23 pm
So glad your daughter made it through the procedure with no problems!! Hope her recovery goes well and I am sure she will feel so much better!! Just in time for Christmas!!
AliciaC On Wednesday, December 7 at 12:25 pm
Good thing to get them out now, my husband has his taken out at 40! What a hassle!
Mary Ellen Blandford On Wednesday, December 7 at 12:29 pm
My co-worker & I also share a love of grody things just screaming to be popped or squeezed. We're so glad to find out that we're normal after all!
Kelly F. On Wednesday, December 7 at 12:29 pm
I totally took my removed tonsils home in a jar! My dad is a veterinarian and very into those things, too, so we just had to see. It was crazy.
Amanda Marie On Wednesday, December 7 at 12:30 pm
Hope she feels better! I had to get mine taken out when I was 18 because they were filled with nasty gunk, too :(. SO GROSS!
Melanie Bainter On Wednesday, December 7 at 12:34 pm
You and Meg are cracking me up. FYI.. I was 5 when I had mine out (just turned 42 yesterday) …. I have my tonsils, in a jar, in the closet, Don't be jealous..
Contact me the next time you are in Benton, AR and I will meet you and show you. Or I could take a pic and send to you. .LOL
Have a Merry Christmas
trishie On Wednesday, December 7 at 12:34 pm
hope the recovery goes well! lots of fluids and rest. she will be back on her feet in no time! you are in my thoughts!!
BA On Wednesday, December 7 at 12:35 pm
I shouldn't have read that while I was eating lunch! Eeeew! Glad the surgery went well and I wish her a speedy recovery.
Laura On Wednesday, December 7 at 12:35 pm
I've watched those youtube videos, too…..alone…..late at night, glad there is no such thing as smellevision. I've never shared this with anyone. It must be nice to have people to share your obsession with. We are twisted souls, I think!
Glad your daughter is well.
jojov On Wednesday, December 7 at 12:36 pm
Wishing a speedy recovery to your wittle baby. They grow up too fast.
Karen in East Texas On Wednesday, December 7 at 12:37 pm
I hope that your daughter is feeling much better now.
Pssst, I like gross things to and guess what, most docs will take pictures if you ask.
Just so you know.
Megan On Wednesday, December 7 at 12:38 pm
I hope she is having a speedy recovery.
I totally get the cyst thing. About 10 years ago my mother had a huge cyst (I mean HUGE-8lbs) removed from her ovary. I made the doctor take a picture of it for me to see. It was WAY cool. Everyone else thought I was nuts. I am glad I am not alone.
janelle On Wednesday, December 7 at 12:41 pm
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Tonsils infected with puss that is gunky
Boils and cysts and things that are funky
These are a few of my favorite things!
marcia On Wednesday, December 7 at 12:41 pm
Best wishes to your family and darling daughter. Don't know if its still available, but listen to Bill Crosby and his "Tonsils." We still have it on a LPbut its probaly lurking in the ethernet somewhere. My oldest son had a ruptured apendix when he was 41/2 . He still breaks up on hearing it.
Jennifer in VA On Wednesday, December 7 at 12:42 pm
Remind me next time to read your post BEFORE I start eating my Reese's PB cups.
LOL…I love gross things too!
( just not when I am eating haha)
Monica J. On Wednesday, December 7 at 12:50 pm
I feel for your daughter. Surgery, no matter how routine, still makes me nervous. I'm so glad it's all behind her now. Hope she gets to eat all the ice cream and popsicles she wants!
Mary Sosa On Wednesday, December 7 at 12:54 pm
SoOo glad everything went well.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery to her.
Oh, and don't worry about our secret…my lips are sealed!!
Teresa On Wednesday, December 7 at 12:59 pm
My daughter snored HORRIBLY before her tonsils came out. In fact, the adenoids were pushing her tonsils into her airway and pinching it off. She was 3. We took her in early and they took my crying baby girl into the back as she was reaching out for me (worst feeling EVER!) and immediately put relaxing gas over her nose and mouth.
Thirty minutes later, the doctor came out and the procedure was done. She woke up in recovery with me right there.
It's best to keep the medication on schedule. The nurses suggested that if the meds said to administer every hour, then administer every 45 minutes so you stay ahead of the pain.
After the surgery, my daughter was so quiet while sleeping that we were concerned that she stopped breathing! Aside from adopting her out of an orphanage in China, it was the best thing we ever did for her.
JENNY H. On Wednesday, December 7 at 12:59 pm
I hope she feels better soon.
Firenze On Wednesday, December 7 at 1:00 pm
The tale of your wee daughter's surgery was delightful. Thankful that she came through it just fine, especially after the yellow uglie stuff.
Julie On Wednesday, December 7 at 1:00 pm
Wishing her a quick recovery with lotsa ice cream and such!
Ashley @ A Recipe for Sanity On Wednesday, December 7 at 1:00 pm
Hope Alex's recovery goes smoothly and that she is doing better each day! Those tonsils sound gross…glad they are out of there for good!
Amy F. On Wednesday, December 7 at 1:00 pm
I am so glad that your daughter made it through the surgery ok…….I had my tonsils out at 23 and my oldest daughter had hers out at 7…….so we know what you guys went through!!
Alisha On Wednesday, December 7 at 1:01 pm
I am so glad that your daughter had her tonsils out, my mother didn't and at the age of 21 the infection spread to her ears and ruptured her ear drum. She doesn't hear properly out of that ear and it has been a real difficulty over the years.
Give your wittle five 'ear old a hug for me
Casey Koenig On Wednesday, December 7 at 1:04 pm
My tonsillectomy story, I remember to this day.
I was 5.
My Mommy wasn't there when I woke up. I had to stay overnight without my Mommy.
I got out of my bed which was a CRIB!! I was looking for my Mommy.
The nurses put me back to bed and said my Mommy would be there in the morning.
I threw up blood.
My throat was very sore!
Thank goodness now they parents stay with their kids in the hospital and a tonsillectomy is a day procedure.
denise8689 On Wednesday, December 7 at 1:04 pm
So glad it is behind your sweet daughter……I thought of her and you yesterday. Surgery is never fun and it is never small when it is someone you love. Give her a hug.
monstergirlee On Wednesday, December 7 at 1:05 pm
Wow, I got all teary reading about you being in the recovery room with her. I hate it when my little ones are sick. Even tho she's a teenager, she's still your little girl. I hope she recovers OK, I know you'll do your best to take care of her.
Marlee On Wednesday, December 7 at 1:12 pm
so sorry about that and your sweet girl. My daughter had hers out last year, dr. didn't remark on puss but her adnoids also had to be removed and long story short she was only getting about 25% air flow due to her tonsils and adnoids. Her adnoids were each the size of large walnuts! Imagine having that stuffed in your head! She is great now and I am sure your little girl will be also…be prepared, now that she can smell and taste properly again her appetite will probably increase! I agree on the suggestions for jello and broth, ramen is a good transition food as well cool tempratures and make sure she takes her medicine…you know all that! Mine just didn't want to and it was a struggle. She will be right as rain in about 5 days….best of luck.
Sru On Wednesday, December 7 at 1:15 pm
Good to know they got those out ok….hope she recovers very very quick..
Alexandra/The Empress On Wednesday, December 7 at 1:15 pm
And did you tear up as they wheeled her away to surgery, leaving you to stare at the top of her head in the gurney that kept getting farther and farther away…
Yeah, me, too.
Paula P. On Wednesday, December 7 at 1:18 pm
I'm very happy to read that your eldest came through the surgery just fine. I had mine out when I was 4 but I remember every little bit afterwards. Please tell her to enjoy being treated like a princess for a few weeks.. she deserves it.
When I have time I'm going to have to write to you privately about my gross out cyst story. It's one for the record books.
JustNanny On Wednesday, December 7 at 1:23 pm
…..I am glad that she did so well with her surgery, and that your survived your ordeal without any Starbucks coursing through your veins! Now for the good stuff:……my daughter works in the lab of a large hospital, and she tells me that the things that pass by processing would make you not eat for a week…….that is alllllll I'm going to say about it!!!! JustNanny
Ellen On Wednesday, December 7 at 1:25 pm
As a veteran of an adult tonsillectomy (I was 24) I can say that your daughter needs to drink as much cold stuff as possible, keep ice on her neck and no ice cream – it makes your throat think and is as nasty as the yellow gunk in the tonsils. That is all!!!
Hula Girl at Heart On Wednesday, December 7 at 1:25 pm
One of our two local hospitals has a Starbucks in it. It's the bomb.
AGinTO On Wednesday, December 7 at 1:29 pm
Wishing your daughter a speedy recovery and loads of popsicles!
Angie C On Wednesday, December 7 at 1:29 pm
When my 19 year old son had his removed last year here in LA, the doctor came out afterward and announced to everyone in the waiting room that they were the largest he'd removed in doing this for 30 years "seriously, it's official, I measured them" He took us back to see the tonsils first before they went off to pathology They were in separate jars they were so large. I took a photo with my cell phone. I still have it – the photo, not the tonsils.
Deb On Wednesday, December 7 at 1:31 pm
My son hated needles and still does, but I learned it was a real blessing when his friends got tattoos. I asked if he got one, too. He said, "Mom, you know I hate needles". Praise God! May this problem become a blessing for you, too!
Wendy On Wednesday, December 7 at 1:32 pm
So happy to hear that her surgery all went so well, even if you two waiting had fun with the gunky tonsil story…Ewww! LOL
mindy m. On Wednesday, December 7 at 1:33 pm
I had my tonsils out earlier this summer (I was 31). I expected it to be super horrible but it wasn't. The couple of days after I was like "this isn't so bad!" I know it is different for everyone but hopefully she has an easy, speedy recovery. I will say though day 9 & 10 were by far the most painful of the 2 weeks – so be prepared.
mindy m. On Wednesday, December 7 at 1:35 pm
Oh and applesauce feels so good on that tender throat! I tried pudding & yogurt but being a dairy product it tends to make you really phlemy which is not very comfortable.
Jana Reed On Wednesday, December 7 at 1:37 pm
My son had his tonsils removed and it was amazing what it did for him. I hope she has a speedy recovery. Kudos to her for being so brave.
Sara K On Wednesday, December 7 at 1:40 pm
My son had to have his our this time last year. We went to the same place and I bet had the same doctor!! He was 5 but it was the hardest thing I've ever had to go through in my entire life. Yes, I'm a 29 year old, grown woman who has had 3 c-sections. But seeing my baby like that was unbearable. I swore that I would NEVER ever do that again. Those magic popsicles are lifesavers too!!! I'm glad she's doing okay!
Severiana On Wednesday, December 7 at 1:49 pm
Poor baby!!! You did good not crying until the end mama!
Mary On Wednesday, December 7 at 1:50 pm
I buy the little packages of "instant" Starbucks coffee at the grocery store and have one every morning. All you do is add hot H2O ! Send me a prvate e-mail and I will be glad to send you some!
Next, what is up with your (and lots of people who are commenting) fascination with cyst-like things filled with nasty gunk?!?!!!! I am so grossed out reading about it! LOL. I do have an awful phobia with needles, though, and am putting off getting blood work done that I need badly ! I have been known to use Emla cream for such procedures! (it is a lidocaine based deadening cream)
I highly recommend Dreyer's popsicles to soothe baby girl's throat! Give that brave child a hug!
Jodi On Wednesday, December 7 at 1:55 pm
I had my tonsils removed 3 days before Christmas when I was 21. Tell her she made the right decision doing it now. I was miserable for weeks. Dr. also said I had some pretty gnarly tonsils. Now I never get a sore throat. Hoping for a speedy recovery.
Sandy Self On Wednesday, December 7 at 1:55 pm
I am so glad everything went well. I am praying for a speedy recovery. Hope your wittle girl feels better soon.
Nikki On Wednesday, December 7 at 1:57 pm
Glad she made it through without a hitch. Yeah that calming medicine they give you before surgery really does the trick!

COLUMBIA CITY — Technology Director Anne Plunkett presented the school district's new technology plan to the Whitley County Consolidated Schools' Board of School Trustees Monday night.
During her presentation, Plunkett told the board that information technology grows in importance with each passing year, making a technology plan in the school system vital.
"It's important for the staff and students that the technology is there," said Plunkett.
"Technology is integrated into the curriculum to not only meet a requirement of our stakeholders, but to prepare our students for the world where it's a major component," she said.
The 16-page plan is dated July 1 and will be effective until the end of June, 2013.
Plunkett told the board that computers are becoming increasingly more integrated with the learning process. She said strategies on how to use technology to teach students are part of the plan.
"We going to use student data to evaluate those strategies," she said.
Strategies in the plan also include how to keep up with continually evolving hardware and software, along with increased usage, all of which contribute to bottlenecks in the computer system.
"We're peaking out several times a day," she said. "We need more band width there."
A board member asked Plunkett what types of potential pitfalls she anticipated in the future and the response was similar to the issue over band width.
"Our biggest concern right now is space, both physical space and virtual space," she said. Plunkett told the board that physical space is running out in the corporation's server rooms, making a plan to expand those areas vital.
With growing technology comes more and more students spending time on computers where their predecessors may have been at a conventional desk with pen and paper.
"We're also working to increase the use of computer labs," Plunkett said.
Plunkett's performance and her presentation were lauded by Superintendant Dr. Patricia O'Connor.
"I want to thank Anne," said O'Connor.
"We have a tremendous amount of technology in our district. We are technology rich, we are very fortunate."

By Clifford Davis
Lebron James spurns the Miami Heat, decides to go back home.
In movies, rarely is the sequel better than the original, the sequel is always hyped up to be better than the original, which more times than not is a classic, then the sequel comes out, and it fails to deliver. Lebron James, however, delivered a sequel to his "Decision" that topped what he did back in 2010.
Everyone remembers what happened back in 2010, James on national television, deciding to "take my talents to South Beach," breaking the heart of his home state of Ohio. James jersey was burned by fans, Cleveland owner Dan Gilbert sent out a letter attacking James character, calling him a coward, amongst other things. With that one hour long soap opera, James was public enemy number one.
During his four years in Miami, Lebron with the help of Chris Bosh, Dwayne Wade, and a great supporting cast, was able to win two NBA championships, and make a trip to the NBA Finals all four years. The Heat however, was embarrassed by the San Antonio Spurs in this year's Finals and questions remained unanswered about what would happen next.
Weeks after Lebron opted out of his contract rumors began flying about where he would end up. Lebron returning to Cleveland started to gain steam and what was once a fairy tale dream was about to turn into a reality. Lebron had decided he was ready to tell the world where he decided to go, and this time he didn't need an hour long show to tell the world where he was going to take his talents next. This time, James wrote a little essay to Lee Jenkins of si.com, explaining his decision 2.0, in an eloquently, humble manner, about why he decided it was time to forgive and go back home.
"Before anyone ever cared where I would play basketball, I was a kid from Northeast Ohio," said James. "It's where I walked. It's where I ran. It's where I cried. It's where I bled. It holds a special place in my heart. People there have seen me grow up. I sometimes feel like I'm their son."
James talked about how he spoke with Cleveland owner Dan Gilbert, to bury the animosity each person held against the other. He spoke about bringing a championship back home to his city. He said all the right things this time. He explained that he was on a mission to win championships when he left Cleveland for Miami. He now returns home with two rings under his belt, trying to win a third, this time at home, in his town, a place where he feels like their son. To James, it was nice winning two rings down in South Beach, with his buddies, but it would be even more special to win it in his hometown, because ultimately, home is where the heart is.
