Call of Duty: Black Ops (Wii) - 2 reviews
Super Gamer Dude
Nintendo Wii
The plotline starts somewhere in 1960s, in the fearful days of the Cold War and Vietnam war, so expect to meet Russian, Vietnamese and Cuban adversaries and the contrasting character of their leaders such as Fidel Castro of Cuba and President Kennedy of America. The game's hero, Alex Mason, is a soldier who can't remember anything from the past, and the storyline is a twisting narrative of his search for clues to help him bring back his lost memory. This game sticks to a definite organized storyline with a wonderful finale.
Black Ops presents new features and surprising twists. The battle is enjoyable; character-wise, no complaints, it is well designed with good detail and the plotline is remarkable, not of the easily predictable sort you get with many other games of this genre. Wii players can expect a fantastic first-person shooter since the Wii remote and the classic controller are both well suited and efficient options. Depending on your preferences, the classic controller can provide fluidity with its dual analog sticks while with Wii remote, jumps are easily done.
A new points system is also featured which is called, CoD Points. Aside from gaining experience points and level up, it has added and improved features like Create-A-Class, custom class slots, new game modes, perks, bonuses and a wide array of weapons to purchase. All of these can be purchased through this CoD points system. When you move on to the next level, you earn 1,000 CoD points which allows you to purchase lots of stuff to improve your character and your game. A small but thoughtful feature gives you the ability to personally customize your weapons by writing a clan name or emblem on them.
The game features several play modes. First is the Wager Match Mode which is designed to bring out the significance of the CoD points. This mode goes with another two games; one is the Chamber which stresses accuracy and patience and the other is the Gun Game which is a tour of 20 Black Op's and each kill corresponds to a new gun. The second mode is the Standard Mode that divides up into three teams with names such as Domination, Headquarters and Deathmatch, and is useful for leveling up. When you eventually reach Level 50 you'll be able to play the Prestige mode with still more new features and challenges.
The multiplayer mode is interesting; there are no lags even when performed with as many as 12 players. Nazi Mode also makes its return. The presentation of the visuals is truly fantastic, even with the amount of fast action going on in the game. The content is brimming with so many new and exciting features that make it not just a another sequel with slight variations but a whole new world of a game. Forget all the hype you've already seen, this game is all that and more. Do yourself a big favor, buy it.

Call of Duty: Black Ops was released for Wii in 2010, rated M for Mature due to blood and gore, intense violence, and strong language, this game is obviously not for kids. The graphics on the Wii version of COD: Black Ops are not far off from its competitors. Players have the choice of using the Wii remote or the Classic Controller designed for the Nintendo Wii. It features more gaming options than just beginning to end Campaign play.
The Campaign mode is Single-Player, based in the 1960Â's Vietnam, Cuba, and Russia. Your role is that of Mason with missions such as assassinating Fidel Castro, and an appearance by the great John F. Kennedy. Mason is in the midst of being interrogated, through these interrogations his memories are triggered which in turn become your richly detailed and fast-paced missions. You get a chance to try out some vehicles as well, although the operating of the vehicles is almost to simplistic. While the Campaign mode can be stimulating it can also be discouraging and frantic for players who are unseasoned to First-Person Shooter games. If your Online go to the Multiplayer combat training mode. Be patient, follow directions, and don't give up.
In Zombie mode you can hunt Zombie Nazis alone or share the action with up to four players. You start with the Zombies trying to break through boards blocking the doorways in the Nazi adorned play area your stuck in. You gain points by killing them off and repairing those boards, than you can use those precious points to buy guns (which are outlined on the walls),buy ammo, or open doors to different parts of the dilapidated headquarters. Each wave of the crazy Nazis Zombies are tougher and meaner than the last, but your knife should do the trick for the first wave or two. Conserve ammo, keep an eye out for Power-ups, and spend your points wisely.
In Multiplayer is where Call of Duty: Black Ops opens up a whole new world. Multiplayer can only be played Online and doesn't have a split-screen as did previous COD games. You can send an invite to someone by simply entering their friend code, they have the option to accept or decline. Once accepted their stats are revealed, and so are yours. You can than customize a Private Match to host with the people who have accepted your friend request. An interesting feature is the ability to earn currency in the Player Match. You can spend your COD currency on kill streaks, contracts, weapons, equipment, or gamble with others in a Wager Match with Free-For-All game modes. Mentioned earlier is Combat Training, practice makes perfect, and you can bring your friends in to practice with as well. But if you feel like just sitting back and watching your masterpieces, go into Theater and enjoy your recently played games.
Call of Duty: Black Ops can be time-consuming, excitingly addictive, frustrating, an all out epic adventure. And you can be the creator of your own Black Ops.

He is the best orthopedic Dr. in Hawaii.
When in for a second opinion, he looked at my MRI's and rotated my shoulder then said he could fix it. It was Friday afternoon, he asked if the following Monday was ok. I asked about a the options if the labrum was torn,he promised to fix it. The previous doctor told me it would be removed if torn or detached. It was torn and repaired. I am grateful to the people to recommended him. He is a talented surgeon.
I had an appointment at 9:45am and did not see him until 11am and he came in and had a very large attitudeand Iit was like walking on egg shells. He would ask you a question and wanted a response within a second or he would get iritated. He acted like he was gods gift to earth. I would never go back to see him if he was the last doctor on earth. Shoukd not call him a doctor. That is an insult to doctors.
Dr Kan was recommended to us by another orthopod on a neighbor island. The extra expense of traveling to Oahu was worth it and except for the inconvenience of being so far from his office,we found him to be a superior physician and surgeon.
Dr. Kan performed corrective surgery on my son's shoulder after he incurred a significant injury from participating in high school football last season. He identified the problem and explained the corrective procedure in layman's terms. Being a former athlete himself was evident that he knew of what the recovery was like and made every effort to keep him as pain free as possible. Now i know why he is one of the most sought out orthopedic surgeons here.

The stock is very cheap based on fundamentals. The trailing P/E is 8.5. The enterprise value to revenue ratio is very low at 0.29. Over the past 4 years, the company has paid off 15 billion euros in debt while increasing revenue from 86 billion to 132 billion euros.
Good div, well-covered, current>1
German utility paying a dividend of more than 7%. Stock has been driven to near 3 year lows due to uncertainty re the future of nuclear power in Germany and reliance on Russian gas, with an added dose of worry from the sovereign debt crisis. Risks are largely, if not entirely, priced in and the huge dividend provides some protection.
Cheap. Very cheap
Good on most stats, low P/B, strong cashflow. Too much political or monetary risk in todays pricing, strong (33%) according to investment analyst (GS).
Main power producer in Germany. Currently at P/E ~6, where historical P/E has been around 17. Also paying a 6% dividend, so either way theres likely considerable upside.
Biggest risk is probably the EUR currency, which is a bit uncertain, but there too theres limited downside - EUR has already bounced off the bottom it hit in June, and could give maybe an extra 10% upside if it returns to its average 12m level.
Stable, profitable giant of the utility business. Their M&A hunger should be low for some time leaving healthy cashflows to make all necessary infrastructure investments. A stable long term investment from my point of view.
Well run German utility.
German energy company, in DAX
This stock and rising cost and for the long hall I see them moving right along at a steady pace.
Nov 07: EON (and several other German energy companies) recently jacked up their prices rather sharply, which I don't like as a customer but have more than made up for as a shareholder. I was tempted to buy some more shares, but German cartel regulators are not amused and find the justification (higher production costs + investments in renewal energy) inadequate. Wait and see.
Great company, thinkin well into the future. govt. subsidies help in the short term.

Natural gas and oil for the EU and parts of America.

Draft Environmental Analysis on Mendocino Redwood Company's Multispecies Conservation Plans are Available for Public Comment

Draft Environmental Analysis on Mendocino Redwood Company's Multispecies Conservation Plans are Available for Public Comment
Arcata, Calif., – The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Marine Fisheries Service, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, and the California Department of Fish and Game (Agencies) today announced the availability of draft environmental documents that provide an analysis of the Mendocino Redwood Company's proposed habitat conservation and timberland management plans.
Under the National Environmental Policy Act, the Services have prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Statement on MRC's Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP), while the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection and California Department of Fish and Game have prepared a Program Timberland Environmental Impact Report (PTEIR) for MRC's Natural Community Conservation Plan and Timber Management Plan. These documents have been prepared and are issued jointly. With the announcement of the availability of these environmental analyses, a 90-day public comment period has opened through February 21, 2013.
As part of the HCP, Mendocino Redwood Company has applied for take permits for forestry related activities on 213,244 acres in Mendocino County, California. The Company has prepared an 80-year HCP and is seeking an incidental take permit for nine species listed as threatened or endangered under the ESA, and two unlisted species. Covered activities include timber harvest and management; transportation system construction, operation and maintenance; operation of rock pits and water drafting sites; reforestation; site preparation; habitat restoration and improvement, and monitoring and research.
The Fish and Wildlife Service is the lead agency for California red-legged frog, northern spotted owl, marbled murrelet, and Point Arena mountain beaver. Proposed covered species also include two animal species that are not currently listed under the ESA; northern red-legged frog, and coastal tailed frog.
The following five listed species are proposed for coverage under the National Marine Fisheries Service permit: coho salmon (Southern Oregon/Northern California Coast Evolutionary Significant Unit [ESU]; coho salmon (Central California Coast ESU); Chinook salmon (California Coastal ESU); steelhead (Northern California Distinct Population Segment [DPS]); and steelhead (Central California Coast DPS)
Under the terms of the proposed 80-year permit, MRC can operate in compliance with the Endangered Species Act as long as the company implements the mandated conservation and mitigation measures developed in the HCP. HCPs benefit threatened and endangered species by providing an incentive for landowners to integrate conservation measures into the management of their lands.
The NCCP is a cooperative effort to protect habitats and species by identifying and providing large-scale protection of plants, animals, and their habitats, while allowing compatible and appropriate economic activity. It is intended to sustain and restore species and their habitat and to maintain the continued viability of biological communities. In addition to the vertebrates identified above, the plan also provides measures to conserve 31 plant species, three common, and four uncommon natural communities. The Timber Management Plan, if certified as part of the Program Timberland Environmental Impact Report, would grant MRC the authority to submit Program Timber Harvesting Plans for individual timber harvesting projects to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. The Timber Management Plan covers all aspects of MRC's proposed timber operations.
The Agencies invite the public to comment on the draft EIS/PTEIR and related documents. All comments received, including names and addresses, will become part of the administrative record and may be made available to the public.
Copies of the draft EIS/PTEIR and related documents are available at www.fws.gov/arcata or at
http://swr.nmfs.noaa.gov/nepa.htm. Hard copies can be viewed during regular business hours from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the National Marine Fisheries Service and Arcata Fish and Wildlife Office, located at 1655 Heindon Road in Arcata.
Printed copies are also available at Mendocino County Library, Fort Bragg Branch Library, 499 Laurel Street, Fort Bragg, CA 95437; Mendocino County Library, Main Branch Library, 105 North Main Street, Ukiah, CA 95482; Mendocino County Library, 390 East Commercial Street, Willits, CA 95490; and Mendocino County Library, 225 Main Street, Point Arena, CA 95468.
Send comments by email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Copies of all email comments will be routed to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, and California Department of Fish and Game. Comments submitted in an email will be accepted provided they do not exceed 6 megabytes in size and are virus free. Hypertext email links to other web pages or publications shall not be deemed the equivalent of written comment.
Comments can also be submitted by regular mail or facsimile to: (1) Eric Shott, National Marine Fisheries Service, 777 Sonoma Avenue, Room 325, Santa Rosa, CA 95404, facsimile (707) 578-3435; or (2) John Hunter, Fish and Wildlife Biologist, Fish and Wildlife Service, Arcata Fish and Wildlife Office, 1655 Heindon Road, Arcata, California 95521, facsimile (707) 822-8411.
Comments can also be made at two upcoming public meetings, which will be held on Tuesday, December 11, 2012, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Redwood Empire Fair Fine Arts Building, 1055 North State Street in Ukiah, Calif.; and on Wednesday, December 12, 2012, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the C.V. Starr Center, 300 S. Lincoln St., Fort Bragg, Calif.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jordan Adams scored 16 points and No. 22 UCLA held off Drexel 72-67 Friday night in Steve Alford's debut as coach of the Bruins.
Zach LaVine and David Wear added 14 points each, and Kyle Anderson had 12 points, 12 rebounds and tied his career high with seven assists for the Bruins, who let an early 13-point lead dwindle to one with 2:19 to play.
Frantz Massenat scored 20 points, Damion Lee added 17 and Dartaye Ruffin had 13 rebounds for the Dragons, who traveled cross-country from Philadelphia to play a game that started at midnight EST.
There were plenty of empty seats for Alford's first game since taking over from Ben Howland, fired in March after a 10-year run that included three consecutive Final Four appearances. Alford wasn't a popular choice among boosters to take over a program that owns a record 11 national championships. He bailed out on New Mexico weeks after agreeing to a new 10-year deal.
The Dragons got within four points six times in the second half before closing to 65-63 on a layup by Massenat with 2:45 to play. They cut it to one on another basket by Massenat.
After a pair of free throws by Adams, Chris Fouch airballed a 3-point attempt from the right sideline and Wear grabbed the rebound. Tony Parker, who rarely played as a freshman under Howland, took a pass from Norman Powell and dunked, extending UCLA's lead to 70-65.
Lee's layup had the Dragons trailing 70-67 and then Parker turned the ball over. The Dragons inbounded and the ball went through the legs of Kazembe Abif, with the Bruins pouncing for a held ball call. They regained possession, but freshman Bryce Alford, the coach's son, missed a 3-pointer with 23 seconds left.
Lee airballed a 3-point attempt from the top of the key with 5 seconds to go. The Dragons were forced to foul, sending Adams to the line. He made both for a 72-67 lead.
The Dragons never got off a final shot, and Abif turned the ball over as time expired.
The Bruins led 42-31 at halftime, with LaVine scoring 11 points off the bench. He was 3 of 4 from 3-point range, where UCLA shot 56 percent.
Massenat went 3 of 5 on 3-pointers for the Dragons, who shot 30 percent from the floor and 9 of 14 from the line.

Wisconsin Power and Light Co. (WP&L), a subsidiary of Alliant Energy Corp., received unanimous approval from the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSCW) for an application to construct the Cedar Ridge Wind Farm.
When complete, Cedar Ridge will generate between 60 MW and 99 MW of energy. The wind farm will consist of 41 wind turbines over a 12.2 square-mile area in the townships of Eden and Empire in Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin. WPL expects the wind farm to be operational by the end of 2008 at an estimated cost of approximately $180 million.
The utility says it will review the PSCW's written order on the company's application for fixed financial parameters for Cedar Ridge, filed under the provisions of Wisconsin Act 7. After reviewing the written order, WPL will determine whether to make the investment in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Act 7 decision, or through traditional rate recovery.

Judy and Clifton Riley of Calabash celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary Dec. 18, 2009. Their daughter, Susan Suggs, gave a reception in their honor at The Lighthouse Mission Church in Calabash.
Do you remember that ditty from years past, the one that began with the words: "Tell me a story before I fall asleep?" I do. Every once in a while, it bubbles up from the recesses of my mind, and I smile.
I smile because life is all about telling stories. You tell me your story. I tell you mine. We share the commonality we find in them and make connections, as we can, to the larger story of humanity and divinity. This cosmic tale remains a mystery to be entered and probed.

LOCKWOOD FOLLY--Friendly competition, camaraderie and fun are the main reasons people enjoy shooting pool, and for a group of friends in this golf course community, another reason is neighbor Bob Marston's new billiards room.

CALABASH—Sunset River Marketplace is featuring paintings by watercolor artist Richard Staat in a show titled "Watercolors with a Transparent Touch," from Jan. 11 through Feb. 20.

Goodbye, turkey. Hello, Christmas cookies. The bird may reign at Thanksgiving, but cookies will be king for the next few weeks, when almost every gathering and party will feature holiday sweets.
A great idea after baking all those holiday treats is to have a Christmas cookie exchange with friends and family. We do it every year and end up with many cookies, cakes and other "sweeties" that we would not usually indulge in.
Sauerbraten is a favorite of mine to be served around the holidays. It's not just a dish you can make for just two, three or four people. Since I start out with a 4-5 pound beef roast, it is more conducive to a larger gathering around the holiday season.
The meat is marinated for two to three days in vinegar and wine, onions, carrots and celery, along with various spices, such as cloves, juniper berries, allspice and peppercorns.
Over the Christmas and New Year's holidays, it's a time for family and friends, which means a lot of eating and drinking. Make your holiday gathering special by including some classic Christmas tried-and-true holiday drinks.
If you're throwing one of these parties, it's essential to serve a combination of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks for a successful get together. You want everyone, drinkers and non-drinkers, to have a variety of drink options in having a fun night.
Are you planning to go out on New Year's or stay home with many of your friends and relatives? We used to go out a lot, but lately we're just comfortable staying put and maybe having a few friends stop by during the day to enjoy the new year.
If you're going to be staying at home and are expecting guests to pop in, why not have some scrumptious holiday appetizers for everyone to munch on while downing a favorite beverage of choice? These are not only good on holidays, but just about any other time of the year.

Good news for taxpayers! The last $50,000 Linda Schrenko spent for services never delivered has been recovered by the state of Georgia.
The state sued CallingPost's Phil Alexander for the money she gave him for a calling system for the School for the Blind. The school says they never got it.
Alexander just finished paying off the state and is now working to pay off the $500,000 he and his company owe to another taxpayer-funded organization.
The SRS Community Re-Use Organization, formerly SRRDI, tells News 12 they also reached an agreement with Alexander to pay the half-million dollars he owes in installments.
So far he has paid back $33,000 of what he owes.

Super awesome! Now that I have 2 yaks this was a must have (really it was a must have with one). They install super easy and stay put, plus getting them from he pro's at ACK made it all the better. Best price, nicest staff, and free shipping!
Well made and sturdy for kayak transport makes alot of room in the bed and at a good elevation for storage. Spendy but the quick installation and solid grip are worth it.

Now, I know a lot of people will rubbish this pole. (Lulu fans !!)
But don't forget its a pole voted by the public and their interpretation is that Jenson Button achieved and progressed the most throughout the year.
I for one am delighted the public have reflected his brilliant year and look forward to 2012. Don't forget McLaren also see something GOOD Hence the long term contract.

Bowl of brown
this wiki
- Melisandre: "When I was your age, I lived on one bowl of stew a day, and 'stew' is a kind word for it."
- Gendry: "In Flea Bottom we called them 'bowls of brown'. We'd pretend that the meat in them was chicken - we knew it wasn't chicken."
- — Gendry recounts the bowls of brown served in the slums of King's Landing[src]
Bowl of brown (or, bowls o'brown) is a cheap, meager stew served in the slums of King's Landing, particularly in Flea Bottom.[1]
Bowls of brown are a slow-cooked stew, and the ingredients are not always identifiable.[2] The ingredients in a particular bowl of brown vary considerably from one pot-shop to the next, and often vary greatly at a specific pot-shop on different days, depending on what the cooks are able to acquire.
Bowls of brown are a step above gruel, in the sense that they allegedly contain some meat. When times are good, better pot-shops may serve bowls of brown that actually contain meat from locally caught fish or pigeons. When times are bad, even the best pot-shops often supplement the stew with rats...or worse. Even in the best of times, few who purchase bowls of brown have any illusions that they are eating meat of such quality as even simple chicken meat.
Nonetheless, bowls o'brown are a staple diet for the thousands of smallfolk who live in the slums of cities such as King's Landing. The city's poor eat nothing but bowls o'brown day after day, and somehow are still alive the next day and with enough nutrition that they don't get rickets.
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the exact contents of bowls o'brown vary considerably depending on what the pot-shop is able to find. At best, they might contain fish or pigeon meat, but rarely if ever would they contain chicken. They also usually contain a varying assortment of vegetables. More commonly, cheap pot-shops serve bowls of brown which contain meat from rats and cats. Bowls of brown are slow-cooked in immense pots, sometimes simmering for years at a time before a scoop of it is taken to be served.
At one point, Tyrion Lannister has Bronn kill a musician named Symon Silver Tongue who knows too much about his relationship with Shae, and who attempts to blackmail him by threatening to sell the information to his sister Cersei. When asked to dispose of his corpse, Bronn remarks that he knows a pot-shop that makes a "savory bowl o'brown" with "all kinds of meat in it".
"Bowls of brown" are somewhat culturally unique to King's Landing itself, though similar variants of cheap stew (known by different names) are common in the other four cities of the Seven Kingdoms, or in any settlement where people cannot afford more pleasant meals.

I have always used a mixture of Vitamine E and aloe on my belly and I still have no streatch marks on my belly. I would take a vit E capsule and bust it open and mix it with a handful of aloe and rub it all over my belly. They now sell E oil at walmart that works as well.posted 05/15/2010 by momof_3girls
My baby is 9 months old, and I got terrible stretch marks during my pregnancy. They have faded significantly, but the scars will always be there. Sorry to discourage you, but I used every kind of cream out there and nothing helped. I did not gain too much (only 35 lbs), and I have lost all of my weight. If you are going to get them, you're just going to get them. There is nothing you can do about it. I have learned to embrace it...and someday, after having all of my kids, I will have something done about them. It's just life!posted 05/20/2010 by Garyella
My mom and sister both got terrible stretch marks with their pregnancies. I decided I was going to do everything possible to keep them from appearing! I did some research and found that ingredients like petroleum and mineral oil will not absorbs into your skin (sorry but Palmer's is full of this stuff) and therefore any cocoa butter will also not be absorbed. And be careful of BIO OIL during pregnancy- it contains Vit. A, which is TOXIC to your growing baby and is absorbed through your skin!!! I searched everywhere for a natural stretch mark cream and a mom in one of my pregnancy classes recommended TUMMY BUTTER by SPOILED MAMA. It is hard to get- I mean you can only find it online unless you live in California. I bought a small jar because I wanted to see if it worked (and it is a lil expensive $27- but totally WORTH IT!). I have been using this since early on and swear by it. My OB even said that it was safe during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.posted 04/29/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
i feel as well coco butter sticks!! BUTTTT i do think bio oil works! my doctor told me it was okay to use, & i have noticed they ARE fadeing away! you can get at walmart or target! its by the pharmecy with the mederma & stuff! GOOD LUCK!posted 04/29/2010 by bethaaron
using coco butter lotion through out the day should help you. with my daughter i didn't get one, but with my twins i didn't use it like i should and i got bigger very quickly.posted 04/25/2010 by nicolelynn72775
With my first pregency bio oil works great.I don't have any stretch mark at all.I will start it using again this time after my 1st trimester will over.posted 04/02/2016 by Babybum2014
I had a baby a month ago and had such bad stretch marks after. It was terrible. I used this stuff called brilliant you can buy it at www.youniqueproducts.com/laurieguaragno truly the best product ever.posted 07/12/2014 by a BabyCenter Member
I am one year post-partum on my second baby and I had stretch marks on my boobs and thighs and a weirdo stretched out belly button. I've been using Nerium on them for months and I have one stretch mark that completely disappeared! The others have really lightened up to the point where I can barely see them anymore! Nerium is supposed to be an anti-aging, wrinkle cream but after I saw the before and afters of stretch marks I was obsessed with using it on my own. Now I sell it (but I swear im not trying to sales pitch right now!) I'm selling it because it worked on me and it's awesome. It's so hard to work your butt off to lose the baby weight only to hate the way your skin looks. To me, this was 110% worth the money and the time I spent. Nothing can beat feeling pretty post-baby body. Message me if you want pics!posted 03/24/2014 by mrsabbybaxter
Just b/c Mom does not have them does not mean you won't get them. Look at your DAD. My Dad is overweight and has them and I got them EVERYWHERE (knees, inner/outer thighs, calves, hips, waist, breasts) when I hit puberty and I was tall AND thin like Mom. The only place I don't have them in on my stomach and I'm dreading getting any bigger out of fear of getting them there. I have a cosmetic insurance through my job (which now that I'm pg is getting canceled, boo) and tried lasers on the marks on my knees and hips and they did NOT work. As I teen I tried retin A on them, also did NOT work. I'm not sure if it's b/c I waited too long or b/c I have olive skin. Either way I will never be proud of them, I focus on them all the time, it's hard not to! My husband has a ton too and he is tall and thin, so I feel a lil better seeing them on him! I still use a variety of lotions everyday hoping to keep the dreaded marks away from my belly , fingers crossed****posted 05/25/2010 by crystalveg
I don't know what to think after all of these post - if the cremes work or not but I'm saying, if there is even a small chance that they do, than it's worth using them. Worst case, you'll just have very soft skin with stretch marks. Here's my story: My mother has some of the worst stretch marks I've ever seen and I just knew I was destined to get them so I did some research to see if I could avoid them and the best advice I found led me to purchase Palmers lotion, the kind specifically for stretch marks. I put it on my butt, thighs and belly three times a day (sometimes only twice a day) throughout my entire pregnancy. The only stretch marks I got were on my boobs because I didn't think to put it there. The marks are bad on my boobs but not any on any other parts of my body even though I gained a lot of weight. I started out my pregnancy at 125 and ended up at 185. I lost all the weight in six months (I credit breast feeding) and I looked great in a bikini again. I'm now 13 wks w/#2posted 05/17/2010 by Kris10story

In response to glenr's comment:
Our fate is in our own hands.
It's all you can ask for really. Let's see how things shake out now...our guys have to take care of business.
I was actually surprised the Ravens put up 28 against Washington...who have a decent defense. I expected Flacco to spit up on his shoes as he usually does. I didn't see how the points were scored so I'll assume the 28 was produced by the offense.
Thanks to the Shannahan boys...it was a matter of time before Baltimore finally lost a game they probably shouldn't have won. They've been getting lucky lately...perhaps it's run out.
wash de is putrid.

Orlando Vs. Detroit
ONE - Eastern Conference
Orlando Magic (8th seed) Vs. Detroit Pistons (1st seed)
The Orlando Magic (40- 42) have a tough task ahead of them. Finishing two games under 500, the Magic have lost all four regular season games against Detroit this year. Orlando enters the series having played well down the stretch, winning seven of 10 including their last four. The Pistons (53- 29) made it to the Eastern Conference Finals last season and won the title in 2004. Detroit has plenty of veteran talent and one of the best defenses in the league.
Magic guard/forward Grant Hill (14.4 PPG, 3.6 RPG, 2.1 APG) played his first six seasons—his best—in Detroit. Since leaving the Pistons, Hill has been hampered by injuries, which have diminished his contributions. Although he is no longer a premiere player, he is still capable of contributing solid numbers.
Inside, forward/center Dwight Howard (17.6 PPG, 12.3 RPG, 1.9 BPG) is a 60% shooter from the floor. He can dominate the boards and is aided by the additional rebounding provided by forward/center Tony Battie (6.1 PPG, 5.2 RPG, 0.5 BPG) and the smooth shooting of guard/forward Hedo Turkoglu (13.3 PPG, 4.0 RPG, 3.2 APG).
Still, Detroit has the advantage inside and out in this series. Forward/center Chris Webber (11.2 PPG, 7.2 RPG, 0.7 BPG) and power forward Rasheed Wallace (12.3 PPG, 7.2 RPG, 1.6 BPG) are both point scores and ardent rebounders.
Outside, shooting guard Richard Hamilton (19.8 PPG, 3.8 APG, .341 3-P%) and point guard Chauncey Billups (17 PPG, 7.2 APG, 1.2 SPG) combine to make one of the best two-way backcourts in the game. Billups has had to deal with a groin strain and Hamilton a sore thigh but both should be in the thick of the playoffs.
This contest looks like a complete overmatch with the Pistons being in the driver's seat. Although the teams are fairly even in points per game and rebounding, there's enough of a disparity in defense and foul shooting, along with an all around talent mismatch, to make a big difference. Orlando needs some magic to take this series.

Author: Corbett, Kevin
Date published: March 17, 2010
Language: English
Journal code: SYNT
Country music veteran David Gates died suddenly on March 7, after four decades on stage in several popular Syracuse bands. Gates' solid bass guitar skills kept him working, while the bearded picker's warmth and affable nature made him a winner with audiences. Gates, 60, was a member of the Southern Comfort Band at the time of his death.
"Dave was a great player and singer," said Southern Comfort guitarist Eric Will, who played alongside Gates with Little Joe and the Memphis Beat in the 1970s and the Jessie Derringer Show in the 1980s. "He was the original bassist in Southern Comfort. He had a nice disposition, was good natured and outgoing. He never had a bad word to say about anybody."
Gates frequently laughed off the coincidence that he shared his name with the lead singer of the 1970s pop band Bread. Gates' wife and two sons encourage fans and friends to make a charitable contribution in his memory.

VATICAN CITY -- The Vatican says Pope Benedict XVI has accepted the resignation of a leading German bishop who is being probed for allegedly physically abusing minors and financial misconduct.
The terse Vatican announcement on Saturday cited no resignation for accepting the resignation of Augsburg Bishop Walter Mixa, who offered to step down two weeks ago amid persistent allegations that he hit children while a priest decades ago and claims of financial irregularities at a children's home.

Usher's Son is In Intensive Care After Almost Drowning
USHER'S 5-year-old son USHER RAYMOND THE FIFTH is in intensive care at an Atlanta hospital, after almost drowning on Monday.
Usher the Fifth was at the bottom of his pool trying to get a toy out of the drain when his arm got stuck. An aunt who was watching him at the time dove in to save him, but couldn't free his arm. A maid then tried to help, but couldn't get him free, either.
Finally, two men working at the house dove in and got him out of the pool. The boy was given CPR and rushed to the hospital. Doctors say he's going to be okay.
Usher and his ex-wife TAMEKA are at the hospital with him . . . but they're not exactly putting on a united front.
TMZ says Tameka has filed legal documents asking for an emergency custody hearing for Usher the Fifth and his younger brother.
Usher has primary custody, but Tameka says their kids are in danger because he's abdicating his parental responsibilities to other people . . . including this aunt, whom Tameka apparently has a problem with.
Tameka's anger is understandable. This was almost the second child she had to bury. Her 11-year-old son from a previous relationship was killed in a boating accident last year.
Al Roker Overslept and Missed His Own Weather Channel Show "Wake Up with Al"
AL ROKER has to be in front of a camera at 5:30 in the morning, which is PRETTY early. Still, in almost 40 years, he's NEVER been so late to work that he missed a taping . . . until yesterday.
At 5:41 A.M. yesterday morning, Al Tweeted, quote, "After 39 years, it happened. I overslept and missed a show."
It was NOT the "Today" show. Al hosts an even EARLIER show on the Weather Channel, which is ironically titled "Wake Up with Al". (It airs from 5:30 to 7:00 in the morning, Eastern Time.)
Al's Weather Channel co-hosts had to cover for him . . . but Al DID make it on-time for the "Today" show, where they ranked on him during their BREAKING NEWS talk.
The co-hosts had some fun with it . . . and even Al joked that they're changing the name of "Wake Up with Al" to "Al, Wake Up!!!".
MATT LAUER said that he Tweeted, quote, "Rip Van Roker", and some of his followers initially thought he'd said "R.I.P. Al Roker." That's when SAVANNAH GUTHRIE chimed in, quote, "It's just a deep sleep, that's all."
Mark Wahlberg's Advice to Justin Bieber: "Stop Smoking Weed, You Little Bastard"
MARK WAHLBERG had some advice for JUSTIN BIEBER during an interview with a British newspaper. He said, quote, "Justin, are you listening? Don't be so naughty, yeah?
"Be a nice boy, pull your trousers up, make your mom proud and stop smoking weed, you little bastard."
He added, quote, "He's a nice enough kid and you're going to be a teenager, but if you're being a teen in the spotlight you're going to be criticized for it. This career can be short-lived . . . you might as well be the best you can while you're doing it."
Dustin Hoffman Was Successfully Treated for Cancer
DUSTIN HOFFMAN'S rep announced yesterday that he has been successfully treated for cancer. She said, quote, "It was detected early and he has been surgically cured. Dustin is feeling great and is in good health."
There's no word what kind of cancer Dustin had, but his rep said he'll continue to undergo preventative treatments so it doesn't come back. Dustin is 75 years old.

Midwest rivers crest, but rain in forecast
Monday, April 22, 2013
CLARKSVILLE, Mo. (AP) — Those fighting floods in several communities along the Mississippi River were mostly successful Sunday despite the onslaught of water, but an ominous forecast and the growing accumulation of snow in the upper Midwest tempered any feelings of victory.
The surging Mississippi was at or near crest at several places from the Quad Cities south to near St. Louis — some reaching 10-12 feet above flood stage. Problems were plentiful: Hundreds of thousands of acres of swamped farmland as planting season approaches; three people died; roads and bridges closed, including sections of major highways like U.S. 61 in Iowa and Missouri and crossings at Quincy, Ill., and Louisiana, Mo.
The U.S. Coast Guard said 114 barges broke loose near St. Louis on Saturday night, and four hit the Jefferson Barracks Bridge in St. Louis County. The bridge was closed about six hours for inspection but reopened around 8 a.m. Sunday.
Most of the runaway barges were corralled but at least 10 sank and two others were unaccounted for, Coast Guard Lt. Colin Fogarty said.
Two of the confirmed flood-related deaths occurred near the same spot in Indiana; another was in Missouri. In all three cases, vehicles were swept off the road in flash floods.
High water could be responsible for two more, both in Illinois, where a decomposed body was found Thursday in an Oak Brook creek and a body was found Saturday in the Mississippi River at Cora. Investigations continue.
And the danger is far from over, as spots south of St. Louis aren't expected to crest until late this week. Significant flooding is possible in places like Ste. Genevieve, Mo., Cape Girardeau, Mo., and Cairo, Ill.
Adding to concern is a forecast that calls for heavy rain Monday night and Tuesday throughout much of the Midwest. National Weather Service meteorologist Julie Phillipson said an inch of rain is likely in many places, some places even more. Rain is projected from Wisconsin through Missouri.
"That's not what we want to see when we have this kind of flooding, that's for sure," Phillipson said.
Anxiety looms regarding the heavy snow the northern Midwest has received this month and what happens when it melts and makes its way into tributaries of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers. Forecasters said up to 6 inches of new snow was possible in the Black Hills area of South Dakota through Monday morning.
Hundreds of miles to the southeast, in La Grange, Mo., Lewis County emergency management director David Keith wasn't bothered by the soggy forecast. Sandbags were holding back the murky Mississippi from La Grange City Hall, a bank and a handful of threatened homes. The water was receding.
"What we're worried about now is all that snow melt in North and South Dakota and Minnesota," Keith said.
Along the Mississippi, a handful of river towns are most affected by the high waters — places like Clarksville, Mo., that have chosen against flood walls or levees.
By Sunday, sandbagging had all but stopped in Clarksville, evidence of the confidence that the makeshift sandbag levee hurriedly erected to protect downtown would hold.
Volunteers, including nearly three dozen prison inmates, worked since Wednesday, using 6,000 tons of sand and gravel.
The river was at 34.7 feet Sunday, nearly 10 feet above the 25-foot flood stage — a somewhat arbitrary term the NWS defines as the point when "water surface level begins to create a hazard to lives, property or commerce" — and expected to rise another foot before cresting Monday.
"We believe we'll have a successful conclusion," said Jo Anne Smiley, longtime mayor of the 442-resident hamlet.
Richard Cottrell, a 64-year-old antique shop owner, was hopeful, but nervous. After two days of endless sandbagging, Cottrell thought he could rest Saturday night, but the constant beeping of heavy equipment outside and flood worries kept him up.
"I had a rough night last night. I had an anxiety attack," he admitted.

The Foodie: Recommends
§ A Brief History of the Gastropub §
A portmanteau of the words gastronomy and pub, the term gastropub originated in the United Kingdom in the late 20th century.
Like when the first Cro-Magnons discovered fire by rubbing two stones together, two Londoners stumbled upon a concept that would forever change the human race when they found you could please Englishmen with the drunken munchies by rubbing a pub and a kitchen together.
According to culinary beer lover's lore, the first gastropub was born in Clerkenwell, London with the revolutionary "Steak-over" of the Eagle Pub.
The concept quickly spread far and wide when restaurateurs and pub owners alike stumbled upon an equation that puts Einstein to shame:
Dressing up a bar + employing a real chef + good beer + putting manly food on a menu = Scrooge McDuck-like Riches
Because words and trends travel quickly across the anglo nations of the world, the gastropub movement hit the United States at the turn of the 2nd millennium.
Today, you can find a g-pub in nearly any American city worth their salted fish 'n chips, including that ever-historic town where our forefathers first raised their middle fingers in unison to the British empire – Boston.
I suppose us grizzly, bearded New England patriots have come to a point of compassion and forgiveness with our better-mannered cousins across the pond, because the gastropub is the biggest food phenomenon to hit the Bean since clam chowder.
In what has seemed like an explosion, Boston has witnessed the opening of Citizen Public House, Meadhall, Foundry on Elm, Saloon, Stoddard's, Russell House Tavern, Five Horses, Lord Hobo, JM Curley, Park, and the Tip Tap Room. As I pound out these words, there is likely another gastropub under construction.
Today we turn our attention to the Gallows – a SoWA (South of Washington) South End destination that is one of the pioneers of the g-pub trend in the area. These guys are among the group of restaurants getting it right…
When Urrg and Gruurg first found fire, their cro-colleagues must have banged rocks together without success. Modern man suffers from the same issue, and too often gastropubs end up hitting the beer side without paying enough attention to the quality of the eats.
Unfortunately, most Boston g-pubs (think Russell House, Foundry on Elm, Park, Saloon) end up being simply snazzy places to drink a craft beer along with a nibble or two rather than propelling the food to the forefront.
The Gallows definitely joins Citizen Public House, JM Curley, Stoddard's and Lord Hobo by successfully copying a technique that will someday lead to the next iteration of human kind.
Gallows presents a chill, classy, dimly-lit setting in which to enjoy good food and beer. With a nice menu that features several meat-and-cheese-laden "boards" (we'll cover the charcuterie trend in a separate post), a few versions of the Canadian Classic poutine, sandwiches, burgers, and slightly more dainty dishes like grilled octopus and ginger soy tofu – the Gallows has something for both beer-bellied gluttons and vegetarians (good thing beer is plant-based).
I specifically ventured here for one item and one item only – the Our Way burger. A simple affair that is cooked in the West Coast thin tradition and topped with cheddar, griddled onion and pickles, the Our Way burger is a commendable thing that should be tried by any burger enthusiast. In fact, I have named it to my closely scrutinized and ever-evolving Top Ten Burgers in Boston List. I was equally pleased by the Pretty Things IPA and Duvel I enjoyed on draft.
As mankind continues to bang pubs and kitchens together to form sparks of frothy pints, fried food, and griddled meat parts, let's keep learning from our less coordinated cave dwellers and really whip up flames with some decent food coming out of the kitchen.

- Denver judge to rule in December on rape charge against police officer
The Denver Police Department prompted a mistrial in the rape case against Officer Hector Paez on Wednesday by waiting more than a year to disclose evidence, including a recording of investigators' first interview with the alleged victim.
Investigators told the court Wednesday morning that they thought the tape had been erased. But an extra computer sweep turned it up later that afternoon.
In the recording, the alleged victim guides two investigators from the spot she says Paez, 32, picked her up on May 16, 2010, to the secluded location where she says the assault took place. A key point in the trial will be whether GPS in Paez's squad car matches the victim's allegations.
Two other tape-recorded phone calls — all made in May 2010 by the same internal affairs sergeant — also turned up just days before the trial was set to begin.
Denver District Judge Robert McGahey publicly called the error "concerning" and chastised prosecutors and the department for their "sloppy police work."
"Far and away the most significant (of three discovery violations) was the recording not disclosed until this morning," McGahey said.
Defense attorney Gary Lozow's request to dismiss the case based on the missing evidence was denied.
A new trial date has not been set, and there will likely be more hearings about the evidence problems in the case.
Civilian oversight
The Police Department may ask other agencies to conduct criminal investigations of its own officers, but that's done only in extreme circumstances, spokesman Lt. Matt Murray said.
"We can. But because of the system we have in place, there's so much civilian oversight that we don't feel the need for that," said Murray, referring to the Office of the Independent Monitor, which is involved in such probes.
He said the department has a higher-than-average case clearance rate, in part because officers "have such high standards and expectations on how to conduct an investigation."
The department will look into the conduct of Sgt. Kimalee Hull, who made and misplaced all three recordings while working in the department's Internal Affairs Bureau, to determine whether discipline is necessary, he said.
Hull has been with the Police Department since 1978. In that time, she racked up a single sustained internal affairs complaint in 1986.
The department will not release details about that complaint until after Paez's trial has concluded.
Hull testified Wednesday that she forgot about the phone calls after she was assigned to a new division, which was before criminal charges were filed against Paez.
Hull also testified that she believed she may have erased the interview because parts of it were garbled and "didn't seem to be of any use to the case."
That was before the recording turned up.
"I guess it's just a mistake," Hull said. "Maybe bad police work."
Paez faces rape and kidnapping charges after the alleged victim — who has a troubled past — said he coerced her into his vehicle and then into sex.
Lozow, his attorney, hinted he may ask for new prosecution in the case and plans to look more closely at the records of Hull and Sgt. Jaime Lucero, the lead investigator on the case.
"They come in today to tell you, 'Sorry, judge, I forgot about it,' " Lozow said. "It's bad faith. It reeks of wrongdoing."

Amazing taste!
Posted by 5038950686697550366 on Apr 08, 2016
I really like this whey protein. I put one scoop, 8oz of milk, a banana and a tablespoon of peanut butter in my shake, and it tastes amazing!
Posted by 4821006668065651924 on Feb 10, 2016
Only for those who love the quality of a product. You'll see the results after a month and a half, maybe two. After a month you can combine this with amino acids 1000, but not in the same day. So that's enough if you want to look better than before. But, be careful with what you eat. The less ingredients, the better ;) Thank you, iHerb! :)
Posted by Reviewer2078185 on Feb 03, 2016
I purchased this product based on all the reviews. I'm very, very disappointed in it! It makes my stomach hurt a lot every time I drink it. I don't know what is causing that, but I wish I had tried a sample of it first. It tears my insides up. I am very used to protein powders and have NEVER had a reaction like this. It tastes fine although way too sweet for my taste. I'd rather eat ice cream if I am going to go that sweet.
Great taste, high protein, easy to dissolve, does not give me stomach problems
Posted by 4683434017212234581 on Jun 10, 2015
I've tried quite a few protein shakes before finally settling with Bluebonnet (I'm now on my third tub, have been drinking this for nearly a year now). I have a sensitive stomach so it was crucial to find a shake that does not give me stomach problems. Some other brands did, which I had to give away, Bluebonnet does not. I also wanted one that dissolved easily, Bluebonnet does. Since I was going to drink it regularly, it could not taste bad - some other brands I tried either tasted like chalk or like sugar mixed with chalk. The natural French vanilla flavor is a tad on the sweet side but tastes great otherwise. I can happily down a bottle of this without gagging. Lastly, I found that it was great value for money for the amount of protein you get per scoop, at 26g of protein per 33g a scoop. Plus, it comes from a great source. So, yes I highly recommend this product.
Will buy again
Posted by Reviewer2013239 on May 29, 2015
Smooth & creamy. Great vanilla taste. No chalkiness. I will buy this again.
The best ever!
Posted by Reviewer1052477 on Oct 31, 2014
My teenage daughter started to use it as a meal replacement during her year long candida outbreak and it helped her to have normal nutritional intake without craving sweet taste. Also when mixed with fruit smoothy in the morning it's a delicious breakfast or I used after a workout as a porting shake.
Great product, good price
Posted by Nauplia on Oct 11, 2014
I finally found a cheaper alternative to the totally overpriced Biotrust low carb whey powder! Bluebonnet vanilla has a great taste, dissolves well, has high quality ingredients and even a good profile of amino acids, an awesome product well worth the price. Glad I found it.

At last, a protein shake that I truly love!! I mix a scoop of this with maca powder, hemp protein, (for the fiber), powdered greens, cocoa powder, and 1 lemon(I peel it)! The taste is wonderful and I enjoy my shake! The lemon adds a twist, and lemon is the best liver cleanser. The price is up there, but well worth every penny!!
very well

President Bush was heckled today by anti-war and civil-liberties protestors at an Independence Day naturalization ceremony he attended at Thomas Jefferson's old slave-plantation home, Monticello.
As the president started his speech protesters, at least one of whom appeared to be from the group Code Pink, started shouting "war criminal" and "fascism" at the president.
Bush, who doesn't even generally like to be interrupted by cell phone ring tones while he's talking, appeared to take the interruption in stride.
In fact, he adeptly played off the protestors to make a point about American democracy.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you, and happy Fourth of July. (Applause.) I am thrilled to be here at Monticello. I've never been here before. (Audience disturbance.)
To my fellow citizens to be, we believe in free speech in the United States of America. (Applause.)
That Bush had never been to Monticello before was perhaps the biggest news of the event. Monticello is right up there with George Washington's Mount Vernon in terms of places that are must-sees on the list of presidential sites. For a man who has a helicopter at his disposal, it seems he would have made what's around a 100 mile trip as the crow flies a lot sooner than the last few months of his second term.
Of course, a president doesn't really plan his itinerary; the staff does. In any event, we're glad he got to Monticello and we hope he took the tour. Jefferson was quite the innovator. For instance, he designed a dumbwaiter that brought wine up from his basement wine cellar into the dining room and placed a bed where a wall separating two rooms, his study and bedroom, would normally be, allowing him to roll out of bed to either area, depending on what he wanted to do.
