- This tumor was not growing. Nor was it interfering with any biological functions.
- Prior testing suggested it was a noncancerous mass.
- It was located over a major acupuncture point that governs the liver and gall bladder. This might indicate an imbalance or functional problem in that area of the body.
- Some holistic doctors view these fatty deposits as the dog's effort to isolate toxins or respond to traumatic impacts in the area.
- Genetics may predispose to these tumors as does obesity and hormonal imbalances.
- Surgery can leave scars that can become active and interfere with the regulation and control of the body.
- The tumor could start to grow suddenly and if that happened would indicate the need for reconsideration of the treatment plan.
We decided to take a blood test to check her liver, gall bladder and hormones, and to change her feeding pattern to activate the liver's detoxification system. Chinese medicine contains thousands of years of experience with food therapy and recommends the use of green foods for patients with liver disease or stress. For years we have known that green foods provide powerful antioxidants and protective phytochemicals. Recent scientific papers show that green foods like kale can activate the liver's ability to detoxify as well as directly influence many other genes that reduce cancer risks. The juice of kale is even antibacterial. This is powerful medicine in a lovely green, crinkled leaf that anyone can obtain for a low cost.
By just eating greens we can reduce human cancer risks. No studies have been done on dogs regarding this issue but kale is affordable and provides a step towards a healthier condition, and I have used it for many years to assist allergy patients. There is little risk from eating moderate amounts of kale for dogs, especially if we use organic kale as studies have shown that inorganic kale may be heavily contaminated by pesticides. Kale is not recommended in veterinary patients on anticoagulants (rarely seen in veterinary medicine but common in people with cardiovascular disease) or those prone to kidney stone formation.
We discussed using some Chinese combination herbal agents, but eventually we decided to simply add one half leaf of organic kale to the diet by blending it to a puree with a bit of chicken broth and then mixing this with the dog's regular diet. I advised her that when liver detoxification occurs the liver dumps these toxins into the small intestine and this can lead to softer stools and gas. If those symptoms occurred excessively she should simply stop or reduce the amount of kale fed daily.
The blood work came back normal. Thirty days later, I received a happy call informing me that the mass had simply vanished between three and four weeks on the kale. Needless to say that made us all happy. And as a dividend it seems that this dog is more active and happier, too. Getting rid of toxins will do that for a person or a pet. It is quite powerful and amazing therapy.Now none of this means that kale is a treatment for lipoma. It would take many years of study and millions of dollars to prove or disprove that and I doubt that many lipomas would vanish from kale, but this case was unique because the tumor was located right on that acupuncture point for the liver and when we addressed the liver the tumor went away. Scientifically we cannot say why that happened but it did and all parties are happier for the outcome. For me this just means doing what my mother told me:
- Eat a variety of good foods.
- Eat lots of fresh foods particularly fruits and veggies.
- Don't put poisons into your body and if you do then take steps to clear them out before they make you sicker.
- Learn and share things that help others.
This particular client remarked that she is now eating more fruits and veggies. Seeing this happen with her dog made her aware of the power of a proper diet and this knowledge lead her to improve not only her dog's health but also the health of herself and her family. And now this story might make others eat better, too.
That is health care reform we all can live with.
Truth is good stuff. Seek it and healing follows. Share it and happiness and health appear. I'd love to hear your stories of improved health from proper eating habits. How did you come to that awareness?

(WVLT) - Fred Thompson has finally made his long-expected jump into the presidential race.
The veteran actor and former Tennessee senator will begin a campaign tour of early primary states this afternoon in Iowa.
Thompson launched his candidacy for the Republican nomination last night, Hollywood style, during a taped appearance on NBC's "Tonight Show."
Thompson also explains his rationale for seeking the presidency in a 15-minute Webcast.
He pledges to address what he says are "grave issues affecting the safety and security of the American people and our economic well being."
Analysts say his late entry may put him at a disadvantage in organization and raising money.

Utility has billed steam generator manufacturer $45M
The top U.S. nuclear safety official said the operator of the idled San Onofre nuclear plant is ultimately responsible for ensuring the quality of equipment and work provided by vendors and contractors.
Plant operator Southern California Edison has shut down the facility in North County indefinitely as it grapples with the rapid degradation of replacement steam generators that were installed in 2010 and 2011.
Addressing nuclear industry executives in Atlanta on Tuesday, Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairwoman Allison Macfarlane touched upon challenges at San Onofre and highlighted the responsibilities of the plant license holder. "This obligation extends to the licensees' use of vendors and contractors," McFarlane said. "The licensee is ultimately responsible for the work done by their vendors and contractors to ensure they meet our quality assurance requirements."
Edison has billed replacement steam generator manufacturer Mitsubishi Heavy Industries for $45 million in connection with the plant's nine-month outage, with costs for repairs, inspections and replacement power already exceeding $350 million.
After hiring Mitsubishi in 2004 to build and deliver four new generators, Edison audited the manufacturer's quality assurance program at facilities in Kobe, Japan. Edison repeatedly found issues associated with design control before acknowledging improvements in 2006, according to an inspection report published by the nuclear commission in July.
Edison has linked generator problems to faulty computer modeling in the design process and additional manufacturing issues. Mitsubishi has not revealed its own findings.
The nuclear commission is considering a proposal by Edison to restart the Unit 2 reactor at partial power for a five-month period before conducting further inspections.
The Unit 3 reactor appears to have more significant damage to its generators, where a tube sprung a leak on Jan. 31, prompting the shutdown. Steam generator tubes are a crucial barrier to the release of radioactive water that circulates through the reactor core. A tube rupture also can threaten the reactors' cooling system.
State utility regulators opened an investigation in October into whether it is appropriate to continue billing electric customers in Southern California more than $1 billion a year for a plant no longer producing power.

Product Description
Determined to prove that Project Tic Toc was capable of sending humans through time, Dr. Tony Newman and Dr. Doug Phillips entered the project's time tunnel before final tests were completed. Now, caught in time and unable to return home, the two scientists battle to stay alive as the Vortex of Time thrusts them into the middle of some of the most significant events in world history. But even more important, as the time travelers encounter famous and influential people of the past, they must make sure their actions don't inadvertently change history and alter the future.
Among this series' enduring charms are the obvious use of footage from theatrical films to clumsily boost production values, as well as some of the more juvenile dialogue. When they learn of one alien plot to attack earth, our heroes proclaim, "We can't let them do it." Time ran out on the Tunnel after only one season. Its cancellation left Tony and Doug to seemingly forever tumble "along the infinite corridors of time" en route to some "new fantastic adventure." Thanks to DVD, we can join them time after time. --Donald Liebenson

Position Announcement
Executive Director
American Jazz Museum
Kansas City, Missouri
Last updated on Friday, August 28, 2015 at 3:34:15 PM
The Opportunity
Opening in 1997 as the anchor to Kansas City's 18th & Vine District Redevelopment, the future is bright as American Jazz Museum prepares to celebrate 20 years as the only cultural institution in the world focused solely on the preservation, exhibition and advancement of jazz.
Our mission: To celebrate and exhibit the experience of jazz as an original American art form through performance, exhibition, education, and research at one of the country's jazz crossroads – 18th & Vine.
AJM seeks an energetic, visionary and collaborative leader to serve as Executive Director.
Celebrating jazz legends like Charlie "Yardbird" Parker, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald and Jay MacShann, to living greats like the Marsalis Family, Chick Corea, Chuck Mangione and Pat Metheny, AJM is more than a single-site visitor destination. AJM is a multi-faceted organization that allows children and adults, alike, to learn and experience jazz and American jazz heritage through the Museum's Blue Room, Swing Shop, Changing Gallery and the historic Gem Theater. These features generate earned income beyond the museum's membership, sponsorship and donor programs.
Operating with a budget of approximately $2 million, a staff of 25 full- and part-time associates and a large corps of volunteers, AJM partners with more than 150 organizations to carry out our mission and programs. AJM has been a Smithsonian affiliate since 2000. It's neighbor, the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum is an independent 501 ( c )( 3 ) housed in the AJM complex.
Our new executive director will inherit an organization on solid financial footing, with annual visitor-ship of around 40,000 and a full calendar of exhibits, performances and special events. AJM relies on a mix of earned income, subsidies from the City of Kansas City, and private fundraising to supplement membership support.
Our new leader will capitalize on synergies created around a resurgence of interest and economic development in Kansas City's Power & Light and Crossroads neighborhoods. These include plans for creating a downtown campus for the University of Missouri-Kansas City's Conservatory of Music, a connector line to 18th & Vine once the city's new street cars are running in 2016, and an initiative by U.S. Congressman Emanuel Cleaver to transfer back to the city some of the properties in the District to serve as a foundation for a new master plan. In all, city leaders estimate a $140 million investment in 18th & Vine and the surrounding neighborhoods.
Reporting to the Board of Directors, the Executive Director will have chief responsibility for all aspects of AJM operations, program, financial performance, fund development, and the customer experience.
More specifically, the Executive Director will be accountable for:
Strategic vision and management of the mission. Working with a 14-person Board on a three-year strategic plan and development of measurable goals to bring the vision to life for all aspects of the AJM brand.
Positive engagement and presence within the community – at the city, state and national levels (e.g., civic and community leaders, Board, City of Kansas City, neighborhood groups and 18th & Vine tenants, Kansas City Convention & Visitors Association, the Arts Council and fellow arts organizations, the Smithsonian, peers and others nationally that support Jazz and Jazz Heritage, and current and future stakeholders). The Executive Director will provide leadership in developing and executing strategies to drive strong community, partner and donor relations.
Delivering quality, diverse Jazz, educational and outreach programming, ensuring a superb customer experience in all aspects of the AJM brand.
Financial health and success in all areas of the business: fundraising, sustainable growth via member and customer development for the performance venues and rentals; optimal pricing strategies; revenue optimization and expense control; and balance sheet management. The Executive Director will demonstrate responsible stewardship of the historic venue and its value as a chief asset in the region.
Staff leadership and development. Foster a strong, positive, empowered and progressive culture.
Requirements for the Position:
A minimum of 10 years' progressively responsible experience in business, general nonprofit, or the cultural or performing arts, with a proven track record at a senior leadership level.

Heat roll, and LeBron says they can play betterBy TIM REYNOLDS, AP Basketball Writer Monday, Apr 22, 2013
MIAMI (AP)—LeBron James looked at the stat sheet, then looked at the cameras and said words that were absolutely not what the Milwaukee Bucks wanted to hear.
They might have even seemed downright ominous.
"We know we can play a better game," James said.
His assessment came after the defending NBA champion Miami Heat pretty much did whatever they wanted in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference first-round series.
James scored 27 points on 9-for-11 shooting—finishing two assists shy of a triple-double—while Ray Allen scored 20 off the bench and the Heat picked up where they left off in last year's playoffs, never trailing on the way to beating the Bucks 110-87 on Sunday night.
James also had game-highs of 10 rebounds and eight assists. According to STATS LLC, in the last 27 years, only Anthony Mason had finished a game (albeit one of the regular-season variety) with at least 27 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists on 11 or fewer shots until the league's reigning MVP did it on Sunday.
"He's in playoff mode," Heat guard Dwyane Wade said.
Wade scored 16, Chris Bosh added 15 and Chris Andersen finished with 10 on 4-for-4 shooting for the Heat, who opened their title defense by holding Milwaukee to 42 percent shooting.
Brandon Jennings scored 26 points and Monta Ellis added 22 for the Bucks, who have not won the opening game of a playoff series since May 2001.
Game 2 is Tuesday in Miami.
"We've got nothing to lose," Jennings said. "Nobody should be scared or anything. Let's just hoop."
It might take more than that.
The Bucks lost by 23, and afterward, it was the Heat who seemed like the team more disappointed in its level of play.
Miami shot 7 of 23 from 3-point range, nearly 10 percent worse than its regular-season norm in that department. The Heat turned the ball over 19 times, five more than usual. They gave the Bucks 22 points off those miscues, which matched Miami's sixth-highest total of the season.
And yet they still outscored Milwaukee in every quarter, led by as many as 25 in the late going and outrebounded the Bucks 46-31—especially impressive considering the Bucks finished the regular season with the fifth-most rebounds per game in the league while Miami finished the year ranked last out of 30 teams.
"It's a great way to start the series," Bosh said. "They're a feisty team over there. We wanted to make sure that we played good on defense and keep doing what we've been doing."
James took a bit of a break at the end of the season while dealing with a strained right hamstring, was excused from the team for its final regular-season game to tend to personal matters and said he came back to Miami late last week rested, refreshed and ready to open the title defense.
It showed. He alternated between steady and showtime modes, either running the offense or getting to the rim for spectacular left-handed dunks.
"We love him in that mode," Wade said. "The time away was good and now he's focused on his goal and his goal is to dominate every game and help take this team to a championship."
James had taken only 11 shots in a playoff game twice before, and his postseason per-game average entering Sunday was just under 21 tries. But with the way he controlled the game Sunday, he didn't exactly need to shoot.
"All I care about is the win," James said. "I didn't even know my stats. I just knew that we were playing efficient offensively besides the turnovers. We want to try to keep that going."
That's probably not the best of signs for the Bucks.
"Obviously, incredibly efficient," Bucks coach Jim Boylan said. "When you have a game like that, what can you do?"
Milwaukee came into the series with Jennings predicting his team would oust the reigning champions in six games.
They'll have to win four of five now for that to happen. And with James playing like this, the odds would seem particularly slim.
"I think we played good basketball in stretches," said Ellis, whose team finished with 10 offensive rebounds, all in the first half. "They're a great team. They capitalized on our mistakes. I think they were more aggressive towards the end. In the third and fourth, they never looked back."
The Bucks said coming into Game 1 that they would brace for Miami to come out flying, and the Heat more than delivered on that expectation. Miami scored on its first five possessions and after back-to-back scores at the rim by James — the first of those a vicious one-handed slam after Wade set him up on a 3-on-1 break—the Heat were up 21-8 early.
Milwaukee settled down quickly, getting within 26-24 at the end of the first, with Jennings scoring 10 in the period. And the Bucks hung around for the remainder of the first half, with Miami leading just 52-45 going into intermission.
"I thought in the first half we played with some good energy, had some good ball movement, created some turnovers and took advantage of that," Boylan said. "In the third quarter they came out a little bit more focused … with a little more purpose, I think."
Ellis opened the third quarter with a 3-pointer, getting the Bucks within four. Then came Miami's second big flurry of the night, and the Bucks had no more answers.
An 11-1 Heat run stretched the lead to 14, and Miami closed the quarter with seven straight points—James started that burst with a left-handed slam, then set up Andersen for another dunk. Another dunk by Andersen, this time when he soared in for a two-handed flush of a missed 3-pointer by Shane Battier sent the building into overdrive, with people in the "White Hot" crowd waving their giveaway T-shirts in unison.
NOTES: Both teams practice in Miami on Monday. … Miami outrebounded Milwaukee 22-9 after halftime. … Rihanna was in attendance. … Miami's bench outscored Milwaukee's reserves 43-25.

please check out link and let me know, thanks in advance
seems pretty decent... i would give it a shot if i wasnt trying to get an mh/hsp light... you can never have enough cfls imo... i say go for it... if it works out good then you might want to try and invest in a 2nd or 3rd... imo
keep your laws off my body
Ordered one, will give it a go and feedback on results
You can't beat a HPS,but I've seen some great grows done with CFL's
(Now breeding my own for Pottysworld)
got cfl, plants seam so to aim straight ast it like they cane resist, love it!
can anybody check the spec ofthe lamp i bought and tell me what the 2 colour and spec differences are on the bulb, its designed so one spectrum of light hits the shiels and the other is directly above the plants
which way shoud it be on new shrubs as i know im a long way off the females budding
i know how long per day they should recieve light and dark, its just to make sure they get the right conditions
also if ytou check link - credit to the ebayer, good packaging (well over tyhe top) and looks like well made product - check it out.......
here is ma babys
had couple of spots on them daily whilst waiting for cfl
cfl lights and floros should be on 24-7 for vegging
careful bubbah! They are stretching already!
get an oscillating fan going in there and maybe use soda straws or toothpicks for support! You need to strengthen the stems! Once those leaves open, the weight will bend em over otherwise!
Get that light as close as you can without touching AND leave it on 24 hours a day! CFL's MUST not have a dark period in veg, as they are not the same intensity/quality of light as MH/HPS
No need for revenge, just sit back and wait.
Those who have hurt you will screw eventually themselves; and if you are lucky, God will let you watch!
Through What we create- we are immortal.
mcdonalds to the recsue! have used straws for support. also lowered the lighting.
with regards to light on 24 hrs per day, how long should i keep this up?
+ 1 more - the light i have has 2 colours, check out the link to see this, which colour should be at the plant end (nearest to leaves)
lights need to be on 24-7 until ready to flower ( lowrider or autoflowering strain light cycle stays this way all the way thru ) or regular strains atleast 5 weeks fromm seed ( when they preflower ) then you can flip the ;ights to 12 on 12 off

No big deal, but I have been riding a couple road bike with Mavic Ksyrium SL wheels. These wheels are great for a little heavier rider and there is no noticeable flex on a climb.
Looking for suggestions for a wheel similar to the road bike wheels I am using, but built for the SS. My search has been Lackluster at best, so I am now turning to the guys with experience.

Electric train advocates ready to appeal despite mounting legal bills
The Clean Train Coalition says a hefty bill for legal costs won't stop it from applying to appeal for an injunction against Metrolinx.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Toronto's Clean Train Coalition is heading back to court even though the community group was slapped with a $30,000 legal bill last month for a case it lost against Metrolinx.
The CTC plans to apply this week for permission to appeal a decision that favoured Metrolinx's right to buy diesel trains to run on the Pearson-to-Union Station train service currently under construction.
The legal costs might as well have been $1 million for the residents who live along the train tracks where the new Pearson-Union Station train service will run, said the group's lawyer.
Saba Ahmad said the $30,000 was an unusually high award given that the courts frequently forgive or assign low costs to community groups acting in the public interest.
In a Nov. 21 ruling, an Ontario Divisional Court denied the CTC an injunction against Metrolinx's decision to buy diesel trains for the new Pearson-to-Union Station rail service.
The court agreed with Metrolinx's lawyer, who argued that the Ontario government's agency was bound to follow provincial direction and get the air-rail link running in time for the Pan Am Games in 2015 by ordering diesel-multiple units.
CTC spokesman Rick Ciccerelli called the costs "a shocker."
"Our concern is that, for whatever reason, the courts have decided they want to put a chill on citizens responding to the way the government works through the court system," he said.
Metrolinx's lawyer was able to make the case that residents had no environmental rights, said Ciccerelli.
The coalition, which has a list of 2,100 supporters, incorporated last summer and has a 12-member board of directors. Incorporation protects the board members from being held liable for the court costs.
Although it helped persuade Metrolinx to conduct an electrification study, and the province subsequently agreed to do an environmental assessment of electrifying the line, the CTC says it isn't satisfied.
Last week, in an announcement of Metrolinx priorities, electrification ranked lower than other GO service expansions, said Ciccerelli.
"If you're expanding the system with diesel trains and they're talking about electrifying it, you're doing a two-step," he said.

The outdoor red light district along the German/Czech border near Cheb is considered to be the "longest street prostitution zone in Europe". In the spring of 2014, Bettina Flitner drove several hundred kilometres along this border. She asked the women who stood there: "What do you dream of?" She portrayed them there, at their "place of work": In the forest, along the edge of the street, in the bushes.
30-piece photographic work
Slowly but steadily the Boatpeople are moving upstream. Bettina Flitner got individuals and groups for her procession against the current in her boat from burma. Manager and families as well as homeless.
Mestlin - the former socialist village of the German Democratic Republic
Mestlin has been constructed between 1952 and 1957. The German Democratic Republic errected a socialist city on the countryside of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The inhabitants of this village should have all the benefits of the city, but be farmers for the benefit of socialism. Bettina Flitner lived there for several weeks, 25 years after the fall of the wall and asked the inhabitants: What do you remember of the GDR? > more
Bettina Flitner photographed for 10 days in a brothel in Germany.

Bettina Flitner photographed 25 top women scientists in Germany and Switzerland. They are physicians und biologists, astronomists und chemists, medics and mathematicians.

They live on the fringes of Berlin. They wear combat boots, "white power"-jackets and shaved scalps. Bettina Flitner talked to them, observed and photographed them. What do they mean by "nationalistic?" And what could be their motives?
My Enemy
12-piece photographic work, 1992
Do you have an enemy? And if so, what would you do with him if you could do it without getting punished? This was the question Bettina Flitner asked random passers-by in the streets of Cologne and Berlin.
My Monument
12-piece photographic work, 1994
Do you deserve a personal monument? And if yes, for what? For a few weeks in the spring of 1994, Bettina Flitner moved her studio to the rooms of the "Center for Self Help" of the Cologne suburb Chorweiler, which is considered a bad neighborhood.
My Heart
12-piece photographic work, 1996
Did you ever lose your heart? And if yes, what were the consequences? As with her first two works "My Enemy" and "My Monument" Bettina Flitner has worked with random passers-by for this last part of her trilogy.

Academic journal article Journalism and Mass Communication Quarterly
Megamedia: How Giant Corporations Dominate Mass Media, Distort Competition, and Endanger Democracy
Article excerpt
Megamedia: How Giant Corporations Dominate Mass Media, Distort Competition, and Endanger Democracy. Dean Alger. Lanham, MD: Roman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc., 1998. 276 pp. $27.95 hbk.
Dean Alger doesn't mince words. The title of his book clearly reflects his opinion of the effects of media mergers and acquisitions on the quality of information available to today's media consumers. Alger notes that his book isn't a full-scale study of media conglomerate control, but it does provide an updated and detailed analysis of the problem, with a comprehensive bibliography of sources for further reading. His stated goal is "to provoke much more discussion and debate among [his] fellow professionals and, more important, in the mass media and among the general public."
Alger, who holds a doctoral degree in political science and was a fellow in the Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government, recently appeared in a Bill Moyers PBS special, discussing television news coverage of the 1996 Telecommunications Act. He noted that, during nine months of congressional debate on legislation to provide broadcasters new, free channels to help make the transition to digital capabilities, the three major broadcast news outlets aired a mere nineteen minutes of reporting on the issue.
Alger devotes considerably more time to this issue-an entire chapter-in which he reviews and analyzes the history of telecommunications legislation and the lack of any significant information provided to the public by the major broadcast news organizations, all of whom had a vested interest in the outcome of the congressional debate.
Other chapters explore the consequences of media conglomerate self-interest on democratic processes, the growth of media conglomerates outside the United States, and Alger's recommendations for addressing and redressing those consequences. …

We are using Glassfish on multi homed servers and I would like to force Glassfish just to use one interface.
I updated domain.xml by
- substituting every occurrence of 0.0.0.0 by the IP address
- everywhere a port was mentioned without an address
address=<IP>was added
- every
host=localhostwas substituted with
After starting Glassfish several listeners are still listening on every available IP address:
3820: I tried to specify an address but the option is ignored
<iiop-listener port="3820" id="SSL" address="<IP>" security-enabled="true">
3920: same as above
<iiop-listener port="3920" id="SSL_MUTUALAUTH" address="127.0.0.1" security-enabled="true">
has no effect
7776: no idea
The next listeners use some dynamically generated ports
- 53491
- 53495
- 53496
- 53497
Now my question:
is there a way to make sure Glassfish will be using one and just one network interface?
if this cannot be achieved with Glassfish is there a way on a Linux system to trick an application to see only one interface?

Buses are late to the school sometimes, and back from school as well.
Our school has shuttles that send us and pick us up from local shopping centers and also the bigger campus in the Atlanta area. However, the schedules are a little inconvenient because for some days the shuttle to go to the Atlanta campus will be either 8 am, 4 pm or 10 pm.
On time, a lot of options, gets to some off campus areas
Emory shuttles take you to a decent number of places that students and hospital personnel have made regular bee-lines to. There is a designated Oxford College shuttle that runs from Woodruff Circle. You can be shuttled to North Dekalb Mall. I think that the transportation service commissioners are very aware of the student itinerary and the scope of their travels for school, for internships and for work. If you are an Emory student, any shuttle operating from Woodruff Circle is free of charge. If you would like to go deeper into the city, MARTA is viable and frequented option for transport.
Transportation on campus is awesome but to go anywhere, you might as well be stuck on a desert. parking is 600$ a year and so no one wants to have cars and then you can't go anywhere
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Throughout the week, Emory provides shuttles to a number of different routes on and off campus, making it fairly convenient to get to and from class in a relatively short time. The shuttles run constantly during the week and are very convenient, especially for off-campus housing, such as Clairmont. However, on the weekends, the shuttles are incredibly slow and inconsistent. Emory provides an online application from which you can see where the shuttles are, as well as their expected departure/arrival times, but these times are rarely accurate and can be off by 10 to 20 minutes at times. If you are trying to get to main campus or other stops on the shuttle routes during the weekend, taking your own car or finding a ride with a friend is your best bet.
Rush hour in Atlanta is brutal and one of the worst traffic cities in America. Public transportation off campus is rather convenient and generally inexpensive compared to a cab. The MARTA shuttle services the airport and most of the major concert and/or sporting event venues in the city. You can hop on a MARTA shuttle and make the trip downtown for just a few bucks, compared to dropping $20 to $30 for cab fare. However, during peak weekday and weekend hours, traffic is terrible, and the MARTA shuttles can become extremely crowded and uncomfortable. Always plan ahead when you are making a trip downtown to figure out the best way to get there, and you will save yourself a lot of time, some major headaches, and also some cash.
There are many shuttles available at Emory that take students around campus and the surrounding area. For more information, visit transportation.emory.edu/transportation/cliff/index.html.
(404) 727-1829
There are several bus stops on campus on Clifton Road and Decatur Road. MARTA has both buses and trains.

When creating a post, the wordsocial boxes for Twitter, FB and LinkedIn are auto-ticked. This means that my new post will be auto-posted at those sites. This is OK with me.
However, when updating a post, these boxes are not auto-ticked. So I was under the impression that this means the updated post is not (re)posted to any site unless I tick its box. Wrong. I tick Twitter and FB only (and not LinkedIn) but the updated post is posted in an un-ticked site (ie LinkedIn) anyway.
Is there a quick fix for this?

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
When House Bill 503 was passed, and signed into law, one of the people given credit in the push for the measure was Henry County Solicitor General Charles A. Spahos."I'm definitely an advocate for victim's rights," said Spahos. "Twenty years ago, if a victim, regardless of the extent of injuries, did not want the case prosecuted, an arrest was not made. "Law enforcement has progressed to understand domestic violence is a crime against the victim, and against the state," said Spahos, who is the Georgia Commission On Family Violence's legislative chairman. Spahos, along with a host of others, worked as a lobbyist for passage of HB 503. It passed during the final hours of the annual session of the Georgia General Assembly. The measure, among other things, provides a reliable funding source for sexual assault examinations in Georgia, said Greg Loughlin, an official with the Georgia Commission on Family Violence (GCFV). "He [Spahos] was a very important force in the passage of HB 503 ... I think it could make a significant difference in many people's lives," Loughlin said. "The stable funding of the Crime Victim's Compensation Fund, will eliminate one barrier that sexual victims have faced in the past," he continued. "Every victim of sexual assault has the right to a medical examination, whether or not they decide to pursue criminal charges against the perpetrator," said Loughlin. Loughlin said a crime victim's health is of paramount importance, and a sexual assault examination can be "one source of support and empowerment for victims of crime. If they do decide to pursue a criminal case in the days or months to come, their sexual assault examinations can provide a reliable source of evidence for the prosecution," he added. Spahos, along with members of the GFVC, like Loughlin, Maggie Reeves, and Majorie Lacy, executive director of the Haven House, were stalwarts in support of HB 503. Spahos, and backers of the HB 503 were uncertain about the measure's success until the final hours of the state legislature. When the bill was proposed in January, some lawmakers threatened to eliminate the use of the state funds it advocated, and use federal funds from TANF ( Temporary Assistance to Needy Families). However, Spahos worked to see that state funding was maintained. "The federal money was limited to needy women with children, and could not be used for the operation of [women's shelters]," he said. "The problem is that, we do not qualify victims that show up at a family crisis center, or a sexual assault center. It was a legitimate attempt to help balance the state budget, but it would have crippled the centers," Spahos said. "I do commend the legislature for recognizing the limitations that [the federal proposal] would have imposed on the centers," he added. Spahos announced passage of the bill during a recent Henry County Crime Week Victim's Memorial Service, at Shiloh Baptist Church, in McDonough. The bill also gives financial aid to the families of murder victims. Marjorie Lacy, executive director of Haven House, a shelter for battered women and children, called Spahos "unrelenting" in support of HB 503, and in securing the funding for state shelters. "It is important that our community and government support the work of ending domestic violence," added Lacy. "When you say something is important, you put money towards it." Spahos is familiar with the effects of family violence. He worked domestic violence calls as a police officer, and as a deputy in Henry County. He said his law enforcement experiences fueled his fervor for the passage of HB 503.

Best 15 minutes in a long time.
I sat there in my parked car in the garage for a few minutes. There was no three year old asking endless questions. There was no wailing baby in the backseat. There was no husband grilling me on which way was North, which way was South, and how much of the monthly budget money I had left.
It felt odd, like someone had taken away my appendages. There was nobody. There was nothing. I sat there and thought my own thoughts… thoughts that haven't had the space to exist in so so long.
Then I took a deep breath, put the key in the ignition, and pulled out of the driveway.
I rolled down the window.
I turned up the radio in an attempt to squeeze out the theme song to The Wonder Pets that was slowly creeping into my brain.
I giggled.
Then I felt it…
that feeling…
A Pat Benatar song came on the radio, and even though I couldn't for the life of me remember the words, it was the best song ever.
I sung at the top of my lungs.
We belong to the light, we belong to the thunder.
Weeee belong to the sound of the words
we've both fallen under.
Whatever hmm feeny hm hmm for bum bum bum better.
My foot pressed a little heavier on the gas.
I ran my fingers through my hair as I sang – pretending I was in a music video.
Maybe hmph a hm na na na when la la hmph a to SAY.
Maybe hm hmmm hmmm … na na… fum fum… AY.
It was the best ride I had had in ages.
Part of me wanted to drive to nowhere.
Part of me wanted to throw a dart at a map.
But I didn't.
I sang.
I had a concert.
I was a caged bird who had escaped…
and my destination was the Trader Joe's parking lot to buy groceries.

The best feeling is pulling off alone…it's so quiet, yet you want to make it so loud…in your own way!

Oh, I so relate to this! It's crazy the things we used to take for granted, isn't it? I don't miss my old job/career that much, but I really miss the commute. The commute I always hated. And the one that my husband gets to take every damn day, listening to his own music, in his relatively clean car, without a single question about caterpillars or legos, or a single demand for lost toys/snacks/loveys that rolled under the seat…
I'm SO happy for you that you got that drive. Everyone needs that occasionally.

Missy | Literal Mom recently posted..I'm Not Perfect, I'm Just a Mom
OH, I remember the first time I drove after having my first..it had been 6 weeks ( because I was crazy like that). I was alone, my legs felt wobbly and I felt eerily weird but elated. I believe I was on my way to a hair appointment..it was a Saturday in May of 2005. Sun was shining the sky was blue, everything seemed more vibrant and alive. I turned up the music and I thumped to the base, looking out at the world like I had a secret underneath my giant sunglasses. The secret was that I was alone and I could hear my thoughts and feel my feelings and just be me…not Mommy, wife, milk supply…just Debi. I remember it like it was yesterday. I long for those quiet mind moments.
Truthful Mommy recently posted..Fat Tuesday~ The Indulgence before the Deprivation
Pet Benetar ignites that feeling in me too. It's so surreal to do things without kids. But your concert sounds epic, and your psuedo-freedom sounds divine!
Old School/New School Mom recently posted..What I Did Today…Uh Oh…
Ah, freedom. I think what I would enjoy the most is that silence. Despite the music and the singing there was the silence of no little voices talk talk talking. No errands running through your head. Silence. And music. Bliss.
Marta recently posted..When Will It Be Enough?
I love my time alone in the car (and usually it is also when I am on my way to the grocery store on a weekend). I have to admit I love some of their kid's music, but there is nothing like busting out a good old 80's tune to make you feel alive and free! Even if it is 15 minutes.
Being in the car alone definitely inspires a feeling of freedom and escape!
