- Colorado lawmaker to resubmit stoned-driving bill
The federal prosecutor who handles marijuana crimes in Colorado said in court Friday that she paid deference to state law initially when deciding whether to file criminal charges against a medical-marijuana dispensary manager.
The revelation came when Assistant U.S. Attorney M.J. Menendez was talking about a June 2011 raid on a marijuana-growing warehouse in northeast Denver that at first resulted in no prosecution. It was the first time a federal prosecutor in Colorado has admitted to declining to pursue criminal charges against a medical-marijuana business because of evidence of compliance with state law.
All marijuana-growing is illegal under federal law, and U.S. Justice Department officials have said marijuana businesses are subject to federal prosecution at any time, regardless of state law. Menendez, too, criticized Colorado's medical-marijuana business laws as a " mess" and said allowing people to ignore federal law in the name of following state law would be ruinous.
"We cannot have flagrant disregard of federal law and still come out with a society we want to live in," she said.
Menendez made her comments during the first part of a sentencing hearing for Ha Do, a former medical-marijuana dispensary manager who pleaded guilty to marijuana-distribution charges in federal court in October. Do, the manager of the now-defunct Earth's Medicine dispensary on Federal Boulevard in Denver, was charged with three others in connection with a warehouse at 3885 Forrest St. that police raided in October 2011.
Do's brother, Hai, and son, Nathan, were also charged, as was Richard Crosse, the warehouse's owner. Nathan Do has since died.
The October raid was the second time police had busted the Forrest Street warehouse. Denver police, with federal agents, had also raided the warehouse in June 2011. After both raids — during each of which agents seized more than 1,000 cannabis plants — Do said the warehouse was compliant with state medical-marijuana law. Law enforcement agents said it wasn't.
Menendez said in court Friday that she initially gave Do the benefit of the doubt and declined to file charges after the June raid.
"I said that it looked like Mr. Do had made a lot of efforts (to comply with state law) and that, under the dictates of the Justice Department, I'm going to focus my resources elsewhere," Menendez said, explaining why she initially overlooked the violation of federal law.
But, after Do and his associates again began growing at the warehouse, Menendez said enough was enough.
"We had flagrancy," she said. "We had disregard for the law."
Do's attorney, Harvey Steinberg, continued to maintain that Do had made a good-faith effort to comply with state law. Steinberg turned over numerous documents Friday that he said showed Do had tried to obtain the proper state licenses for the warehouse. He also said state law was too complicated and confusing for anyone to follow perfectly.
"I have a client who made every effort to try to comply with Colorado law," Steinberg said. " This is not your 'illicit' marijuana grow."
Addressing the judge, Do, who emigrated from Vietnam in 1980, said he saw the dispensary as a legitimate family business.
"I tried so hard to get licensing with the state," he said. "I got six different licenses to cover every corner. ... I'm ashamed to my family. I feel guilty inside. I'm a failure."
Menendez agreed that state law was complicated, and she said complexity is just one thing that now makes prosecuting federal marijuana cases in Colorado so difficult.
"There have been days ... where I have woken up and thought, 'Lord, just give me a good methamphetamine case. Something simple,' " Menendez said in court Friday.
Under his plea agreement with the government, Do could receive up to two years in prison. U.S. District Judge Robert Blackburn, though, said he needs more time to read through the documents purporting to establish compliance with state law. Do is now scheduled to be sentenced on March 5.

Christmas in Detroit? If FAU wins out, guess what?
Uh, Oh. Christmas in Detroit, anyone?
Because guess what – 2008 is happening all over again.
If FAU wins its final two games and finishes the season at 6-6, there is a decent chance they will go bowling, but it will be in Detroit on Dec. 26, in what was the Motor City Bowl and is now the Little Ceasers Pizza Bowl.
If you will recall, in 2008 the Motor City Bowl could choose from FAU, Arkansas State and Louisiana-Lafayette, who were all 6-6. FAU was the team that got the bid, thanks to coach Howard Schnellenberger's fame, and the matchup of QBs Rusty Smith vs. Dan LeFevor.
The bowl rep said the same thing today, that Howard has become pretty well known in Detroit with all the games versus Michigan State, and the 2008 appearance.
Here is what we are looking at:
FIU needs one win in final two games to win Belt and get bid, probably to New Orleans Bowl.
Troy needs one win in final two games to be bowl eligible, and could return to Mobile for the GoDaddy.com Bowl, where they lost last year but had a decent showing by their fans.
ULM is the other Belt team that could be bowl eligible if they beat ULL Saturday, leaving MTSU or FAU or neither as the fourth.
If it came to ULM or FAU for the slot in Detroit, my money would be on FAU since ULM has nothing to rival Schnellenberger as a marketing tool.
Now if Troy stumbles and loses its final two, ULM would get the GoDaddy big because they are pretty close to Mobile and could get a couple thousand fans to the game.
The Ceasers people know that no Belt team is going to bring any fans, so what they are looking for is for something to promote, and Schnellenberger and his 6-0 bowl record fit that pretty well.
So, Dec. 26 in Detroit. I never thought I would have to spend another Christmas in Detroit, folks, but it could happen.
I am feeling cold and homesick already….

Charge Your Electronics With a Solar ReadySet and Help Power the Developing World
Posted By Evelyn Lee On July 31, 2012 @ 4:15 pm In Architecture,Environment,global development,Green Business,Green Technology,Innovation,News,Renewable Energy,Solar Power | No Comments
The ReadySet [1] is a versatile renewable energy charger [2] that can power any gadget that plugs into a standard vehicle or usb port. The ReadySet [1]'s intelligent battery means that it can be charged from a variety of sources including solar panels [3], bicycle generators, micro-wind turbines, and much, much, more. The Kickstarter project by Fenix International [4] reached its $20,000 goal in one day, and by purchasing a ReadySet Solar Kit you will help expand Fenix International's office to Rwanda and support their mission to deliver power to the 1.5 billion people who live without electricity. See a video on how ReadySet created a phone charging business in Africa after the jump.
The ReadySet [1] charger is great for everyday use, but it's even handier during times of need – especially following natural disasters. The charger ensures that you'll have power on hand to get in touch with loved ones, have light at night, and even power a mini stove to heat water and cook food. In Uganda [5], the ReadySet has created a great entrepreneurial opportunity by helping individuals set-up a successful phone charging businesses and delivering much-needed to power to the local community at night.
The applications for the ReadySet charger are endless, and we personally enjoy the ability to spend an entire work day at the park. Go purchase your own ReadySet and make a pledge to deliver power to the developing world.

PLEASE HELP ME!!!
Your cpu must have updated or something was loaded on your cpu to cause this so therefore there is nothing I can suggest to help you because this is not a problem I have seen before, try uninstall it and reinstall and see if it works after that.
it took me about in total both bits about 4h but i have not done patching bit yet or installed just downloaded
just a suggestion, future patch 3.2 could fix more problems:
- low range of movement of dwarves on world map
- less options to earn money
- sometimes bad performane-balance on world map (despite good pc)
- maybe more units to recruit
- cannot dismiss agents
everytime i have a battle in game it stops working :(

22 years later that dream has become a reality!
On Sept 8, 2011, many pictures and reports surfaced of Nike officially releasing the shoe. According to Matt Halfhill of Nice Kicks, "nike called me at midnight to fly out to LA for a big announcement."
McFly's Closet
The shoes went on sale September 8th at 11:35 eastern time on Ebay via a Nike pre-approved auction. In just 13 mintes, one of the shoes escalated to an asking price of $1,000 dollars! Great Scott!
In 2015 (the year the shoe was released in the movie) Nike is supposed to re-release the Air Mags with the power lacing system. Besides the lights, this is what made the shoes so dope in the movie. Nike vice president Tinker Hatfield filed the patent last year for the self lacing system.
Many people have been waiting for the release of the Air Mags for DECADES! The impact/inspiration of the shoe can be seen in many places
Kanye West signature bear was seen in a pair on the cover of his 2007 album "Graduation"
Kobe Bryant released a pair of his Nike Hyperdunks inspired the Air Mcfly in limited edition
Last but not least, they can be seen on the cover of my latest project Boarding Pass II: Late Arrival worn by me. (#shamelessplug lol)
Also on the artwork for my song "HoverBoard"
One of these days i plan on getting myself a pair of the Nike Mags,maybe in 2015 to match my DeLorean.

I'm not even so sure it was an actual seizure, isn't there some sort of convulsive episodes that can be set off immediately after a head injury? Also, with my anxiety and depression I was insanely stressed the moment I found her and I still am. I don't even feel like I'm ready to see her again yet, it's really bothering me. A combination of what I saw and the guilt.
My daughter was 3 and she once was walking a bit too close to the swings at a park and the when the person swung back, they slammed into her and sent her flying and she landed on her back. I saw it happen, I was pretty close by, and ran over to her. I did the absolute wrong thing and grabbed her in my arms. She tried to scream, opened her mouth and no sound came out. That terrified me. Then her eyes rolled back and she had a look I had never seen her have before. One of my friends was at the park as well and was an ER nurse, so I immediately ran to her with my daughter in my arms. She took one look and said "just hold her, she's having a seizure". I was flipped, but tried to stay calm. It only lasted several seconds and then she came to.

Bottled water flies off Jefferson City store shelves
Wednesday, October 24, 2012
Stores were struggling to keep bottled water on the shelves Tuesday as customers loaded their carts, unsure when their tap water would be safe again. Some customers had 10 or more 24-pack cases — enough to seemingly last well beyond the Dec. 21st prediction for the end of the world.
Jimmy Mickens left the Walmart at 724 W. Stadium Blvd., with a single 24-pack on his shoulder, but said he might return for more.
Accompanying him was Tiffany Shurland and 5-year-old Kelis Smith. "The school said don't drink the water, so we have to buy it," Shurland said.
That Walmart's shelves containing water were partially bare before noon, but it appeared like the store was restocking. Store officials at Walmart and Kmart declined to comment, referring a reporter to their corporate headquarters.
At Target and Schnuck's, the biggest demand was for water in jugs, which were nearly gone from both stores by midday. "But whatever water we've got, people are buying right now," said Boston Loveless, Target's executive team leader.

text: Stopped by my LBS and was asking about how to size a new saddle. The owner pulled out a Bontrager saddle sizing device that I didn't know existed. Sit on this thing and it shows your sitzbones impression and, using some sort of sliding scale thing, tells you the width of the saddle that fits you. Very cool. Mine measured at 115 which translated to a 146 saddle according to Bontrager. Now to go measure my current saddle.

Sony's Christmas looks murky, according to CFO
Not much festive cheer expected
CONSUMER ELECTRONICS GIANT Sony doesn't expect a good Christmas sales season this year, claiming the outlook is "murky".
Masaru Kato, CFO of Sony candidly told Reuters, "Looking at Europe and North America overall, the outlook is murky." If that didn't sound damning enough, he continued by saying, "We don't see any reasons for optimism." I think we can safely say that Christmas bonuses at Sony aren't expected to be anything to write home about.
Sony's wide range of products doesn't protect it from the falling Euro, meaning its products are more expensive in Europe. Kato said the firm has no "tricks" to help it guard against currency volatility and that switching manufacturing within the Eurozone would not help it against a rising Yen.
As for Sony's lossmaking TV division, which some had urged the firm to reform, Kato said there will be no major announcement on restructuring of that business unit. "I am sorry if we have given the mistaken impression that there is going to be some big announcement.... We are not thinking of doing that," said Kato.
While Kato might paint a picture of doom and gloom, it isn't panic stations for Sony just yet. The firm forecasts an operating profit of $2.6bn for the year ending March 2012, which is higher than many analysts' forecasts.
Many view Sony as a barometer of the global consumer electronics market. While the firm isn't a power player in mobile phones or tablets, due to it having fingers in markets such as consumer audio-visual equipment, laptops, movies, music and gaming, trouble for Sony usually means trouble for others.
Being fair to Kato, his comments are not all that surprising, given the current economic situation. After all, buying a new 50in telly is unlikely to be high up on the shopping list during a worldwide recession when consumers are more worried about their jobs. µ

Inspiration for the
perfect wedding gift
It's that time of year – wedding season has come around again and the spring weather is promising a fantastic summer. No doubt you'll have at least one wedding to go to, whether it's a friend, child, grandchild or sibling. But what do you get the happy couple?
As people get married later and later, most of them have already bought a house and furnished it, meaning the classic silver toast rack is all but redundant. Lots of couples talk of wanting 'presence' over 'presents' but with so much to choose from, where do you find a meaningful or unusual gift?
If you need inspiration this year, then our list of wedding gift ideas could get you ahead of the game.
1. Animal antics
If the couple are animal lovers who already have a house full of kitchen equipment and fancy crockery, then why not give a goat? Oxfam Unwrapped will donate a goat (or fertiliser, a farm or a water pump) to a family in need on behalf of the happy couple.
2. The gift of laughter
There's nothing better than a night out at the theatre and buying tickets to a comedy, musical or ballet will give the newlyweds a night to remember. If you're not sure what to go for, then a theatre and dinner gift voucher combo gives them the chance to choose their favourite, from Mamma Mia to
Avenue Q.
3. Natural beauty
For the outdoorsy or history loving types, annual membership to the National Trust or English Heritage will give the new couple access to hundreds of places around England, including Dover Castle and Fountains Abbey. For thrill seekers, a Merlin Group annual pass provides a year's worth of fun at Alton Towers, Madame Tussauds and more.
4. Red letter day
Adventurous types might like to try something new and exciting such as bungee jumping or zorbing, so why not give them the chance? There are plenty of exhilarating activity days out across the country as well as more gentle treats such as spa weekends and photo shoots.
5. Keep it personal
A more simple idea is the personalised keepsake, something the couple can treasure forever. Choose from engraved goblets, wedding couple caricatures and a host of other traditional and unusual wedding memorabilia.
Of course if you don't want to break with tradition then you can't go wrong with John Lewis vouchers.
How can John Lewis Wedding Insurance help?
If you're getting married, you don't need to worry about gifts being damaged or stolen during the ceremony as John Lewis Wedding Insurance includes cover for wedding presents up to a value of £15,000 depending on your
level of cover.

Clippers 117, Rockets 109
The Los Angeles Clippers rarely lose when Jamal Crawford leads the team in scoring.
Crawford insisted it has very little to do with him after his latest such game — one the Clippers played without Chris Paul.
Crawford scored a season-high 30 points, including 12 straight to start the fourth quarter, and the Clippers looked just fine without Paul in a 117-109 win over the struggling Rockets at Houston Tuesday night.
The Clippers won their second game in a row despite missing their star point guard, who is day to day with a bruised right kneecap.
Los Angeles used a big third quarter to take the lead, and Crawford extended the advantage to 20 by outscoring Houston 12-7 in the opening minutes of the fourth quarter.
The Clippers improved to 11-1 this season when the 12-year veteran Crawford leads the team in scoring. Crawford seemed surprised when he learned of that statistic.
"It's everybody honestly," he said. "I've got the easy job just scoring, but Grant, Blake, all those guys put me in a position to score ... I just have to make the shots. They're doing all the hard work."
James Harden had 23 points for the Rockets, whose four-game losing streak is a season worst.
"That's what it's about. We do it collectively," he said. "We all pull for each other and we're all in it together and that's how we win."
Lakers 104, Bucks 88: Dwight Howard had 31 points and 16 rebounds, Kobe Bryant also scored 31 points and the Lakers beat the Bucks for their second straight win after a six-game skid. Bryant and Howard both had 30-point games for the second time in their brief tenure together, and the Bucks couldn't cope with Bryant's outside game or Howard's inside dominance.
Monta Ellis scored 17 points for Milwaukee, while Brandon Jennings was held to 12 points on 4-of-14 shooting largely by Bryant's defense.
Nuggets 115, Blazers 111 (OT): Wilson Chandler hit a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 14.9 seconds remaining in overtime and the Nuggets beat the Trail Blazers for their season-best sixth consecutive victory.
Danilo Gallinari added 25 points, including a key 3-pointer in the extra period.
Portland lost for the first time in six OT games this season.
Pacers 103, Bobcats 76: Roy Hibbert had 18 points and seven rebounds, and Indiana handed Charlotte its 13th straight home loss.
The Pacers bounced back from Sunday's 11-point defeat to Brooklyn and won for the fifth time in six games.
Nets 113, Raptors 106: Brook Lopez had 22 points and nine rebounds, Joe Johnson and Deron Williams each scored 21 points, and Brooklyn beat Toronto at New York to extend its season-high winning streak to seven games.
Hornets 111, Sixers 99: Greivis Vasquez scored 23 points and Eric Gordon added 19 to help New Orleans beat the 76ers at Philadelphia.
Around the Association
Talk trash to Carmelo Anthony at Madison Square Garden and you may wind up on tape. After Anthony's overreaction to some bad words led to a suspension, MSG chairman James Dolan had listening devices monitoring everything said to and by Anthony, according to a report in the Newark Star-Ledger.
• Kevin Love is expected to return sometime in March after undergoing surgery on his broken right hand. The Timberwolves announced that the operation to repair Love's third and fourth metacarpal bones was successful.
• Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson is taking his fight to keep the Kings in California's capital city to NBA owners. Johnson said he has received approval from NBA Commissioner David Stern to present a counteroffer to the league from buyers who would keep the team in Sacramento. He said the city is in a "six-week sprint" to put together a proposal for the NBA to consider over a potential sale and relocation to Seattle.

Type: Improvement
Status: Open
Priority: Major
Resolution: Unresolved
Affects Version/s: None
Fix Version/s: None
Component/s: SQL
I would like to collect here the arguments for and against re-enabling the TINYINT datatype. Once this discussion calms down, we can schedule a vote on the issue.
Background: Cloudscape used to support the TINYINT datatype, which was an 8 bit int. This datatype was hidden from customers as part of an effort to remove all datatypes not supported by DB2. Re-enabling the datatype would not require a lot of effort. Some arguments for and against re-enabling this datatype can be found on the November 2005 email thread titled "New features for next release .... (Was: Grant and Revoke ...
Here are the arguments in favor so far:
+ This datatype is defined by one of our key standards, JDBC. It is in JDBC 2, 3, and 4, all of the JDBC revs supported by Derby 10.2.
+ This datatype is supported by some important databases, including MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, and Sybase.
Here are the arguments against so far:
- This datatype is not defined by our other key standard, ANSI SQL. Here our two main standards diverge.
- This datatype is not supported by some important databases, including Oracle, DB2, and (some) Informix databases.
Against this proposal, it was also argued that there was some sort of friction with ODBC. I do not understand this argument: SQL_TINYINT is an ODBC datatype. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/odbc/htm/odbcsql_data_types.asp.
A friction with .NET was also suggested but I don't understand this either. "byte" and "Sbyte" are the .NET 8-bit integer types. See http://www.codersource.net/csharp_tutorial_data_types.html.
A friction with Perl was also suggested but I don't understand this either.

NHI is a non-governmental, non-profit organization founded in 1989 by a group of experienced conservation lawyers and scientists who foresaw the need for a toolkit for the next era of environmental problem-solving: where the technical challenges are more complex, the solutions more elusive, the economics more central, the ramifications more global, and the conventional pathways less efficacious.
NHI's core mission is to restore and protect the natural functions that support water-dependent ecosystems and the services they provide to sustain and enrich human life.
When the earth's limited stock of natural resources is squandered, the legacy bequeathed to future generations is impoverished, sometimes for all time. The only hope for this beleaguered planet is to do more with less and to restore the damage of the past. Increasingly, the environmental challenge is to move from strategies that freeze the status quo to those that ensure that the economic use of natural resources also yields net environmental gains.
Wise and prudent stewardship is a function of the laws, institutions, techniques, and incentives that bear on resource management decisions. These seldom keep pace with accelerating change and mounting demands. The mission of the Natural Heritage Institute is to bridge that gap. To these ends, NHI applies a wide array of tools and strategies including, deploying predictive simulations of water resource systems, on-the-ground ecological restoration projects, the design of improved management and institutional arrangements, policy analysis, and legal advocacy and interventions.
Somewhat uniquely, NHI operates both within and outside of the policy-making institutions. We typically bridge across institutional boundaries, often working in creative partnerships with other governmental and non-governmental organizations. Whereas these government agencies and the private resource custodians are often absorbed by the urgent at the expense of the important, NHI has the advantage of being able to take the longer view and illuminate the transformational solutions that loom beyond the conventional planning horizon. We endeavor to keep a seat at every table and a voice in every forum, recognizing that constructive engagement with the custodians and managers of both public and private resources is indispensable. Our job is to find solutions. To do that, we must progressively develop new approaches, processes and institutional arrangements.
NHI consciously predicates its action agenda on a sound technical and scientific foundation, even when that may lead in unfamiliar directions. NHI brings exceptional professional skills and insights that engage a full range of relevant disciplines in forging solutions. Yet, in formulating and executing our projects, our reach is not limited by the capabilities of our resident staff and board; we routinely recruit into our project teams, as necessary, state-of-the-art expertise drawn from external institutions.
NHI addresses the economic incentive structures that tend to discount future values in favor of present ones in resource management decisions. Our belief is that if the incentives can be rectified, the custodians, consumers, managers and regulators will make the right decisions. Thus, market mechanisms and the elimination of perverse subsidies are important tools, and distributional impacts of resource policies are necessary considerations.
Our work knows no geographic bounds. We work in watersheds worldwide, including transboundary systems, that have been significantly altered and those where intact aquatic systems of exceptional ecological value are subject to imminent development pressure. We pursue an integrated systems approach that includes entire water-centered landscapes from headwaters, to floodplains, to wetlands, to estuarine systems, to the near shore environment, and includes both groundwater and surface water systems and their interactions. NHI targets systemic improvements and tool development rather than place-based or species-specific conservation actions. To be sure, our projects generally take place within a particular geographic context. However, while the local conservation improvements are important, our overall objective is to demonstrate tools or techniques for propagation at the global scale.

ODU honors
Wendy Larry, a former Old Dominion women's basketball player and the Lady Monarchs' longtime time coach, and fellow ex-ODU player Beth Wilkerson Hammond will be inducted into high school halls of fame this weekend.
Larry, a native of Bloomingdale, N.J., will be inducted into the Hall of Fame at Butler High, where she was a standout before becoming one of the first student-athletes to receive grant-in-aid money in 1973 at ODU.
Larry notched her 600th win as a coach during the 2010-11 season, making her one of just 20 Division I coaches to reach that mark and the 10th fastest, in 27 seasons. Larry is the 12th winningest active D-I women's coach.
Wilkerson will be inducted into the Kentucky High School Athletic Association Hall of Fame. Before coming to ODU in 1979, Wilkerson led Paris High to three state tournament appearance and scored more than 1,600 points. Her high school teams compiled an 83-22 record, and Wilkerson was Kentucky's Miss Basketball in 1979. That year, she was also named a first-team Parade Magazine and Converse high school All-America selection and was the Kentucky Female Athlete of the Year.
At ODU, Wilkerson helped the Lady Monarchs win the 1980 AIAW national championship and make an appearance in the 1983 NCAA Final Four.

View from the Hill
LOS ANGELES—Do you remember where you were the first time you felt it? Most people remember. They can tell you what they were wearing, where they were sitting, and which kid vowed never to be seen in public with them again. They can even sing a few verses of the song that was playing at the time.
Me? I can tell you what I was reading: "Eat, Pray, Love." And what I was smelling: a woman, not three feet away from me, who had obviously bathed in Estee Lauder's Beautiful. It was the first time I ever experienced heartburn.
That's right. Heartburn.
First of all, let me go out on a limb and say that I am firmly against three things in life: cruelty, self-waxing and audible digestion. I do not enjoy, and feel prone to violent outburst, when I hear someone processing their meal.
I'm not talking about people who chew with their mouths open (read: my children). They are often cute or easily ignored if a bottle of wine is nearby. If someone is over the age of 35 and possesses a penis, then open chewing is proof the man doesn't have a wife worth a damn. But allowing me to see food in your mouth, however gross, doesn't fall under the category of digestion. It's bad manners.
And that's a whole other column.
Right now, I'm talking about burping in all its forms: loud, silent, hiccup-like, and especially when it's followed by a sigh or groan or fist to the sternum. A laugh and "Excuse the heavyweight champ!" just makes it worse. Why do I hate it so?
It reminds me of people who make a wrong turn and then tie up traffic for a mile and a half trying to turn around again. They are making their problems my problems.
I've got enough of my own.
Great. I'm my Uncle Eddie after his sixth Genny Beer.
Thank God my husband wasn't there to poke fun or wave his hand in front of his nose like I was stinking up a storm. Alone in my horror was the only positive to be found in the experience.
I grabbed my bottled water and chugged. I seemed to remember episodes of "The Cosby Show" where good old Bill could no longer eat his beloved hoagies. Wasn't he in his 50s with grown children when his lovely wife would scold that those sandwiches were going to keep him up all night? Didn't they have salami and roast beef and other horrors mixed in with the pickles and onions? Yes, if memory serves, Denise Huxtable was old enough to be off having sex with Lenny Kravitz when Bill experienced digestion issues.
Once again, I'm too young for this nonsense—another indignity to go along with my laugh lines and dry skin.
Then I remembered a doctor's visit several months ago. I underwent a barium swallow. The doctor had shown me a slight hernia where my esophagus meets my stomach and warned this would start happening. Yet another inherited gift from my Durkin and Walsh ancestors. While I'm thrilled I got their independent streak and impressive rack, I could do without the varicose veins, inability to carry a tune, and now reflux after a veggie sub.
After a few minutes, the burping stopped and I felt more like myself again. I learned that Apple Cider Vinegar with mother helps, along with going easy on the pickles and onions. I also now have more tolerance for those who make noises at the table. The universe certainly has a way of helping me to better accept the people around me.
I added this latest malady to a growing list of behaviors thought intolerable until they started happening to me. Can't wait to see what's next.
I hope I don't start humming in public bathrooms or wearing pantyhose with sandals. God help me. Please.

Sudden ich outbreak in my 25 gallon tank
My 25 gallon is a community/breeding tank. I have swordtails and platies who produce a lot of fry.
Sometimes a fish gets ich, so I just isolate it for a few days in a small tank and put it back in. It's been over 2 months since a fish has had ich.
Last night I looked at my tank and my heart skipped a beat; 3 fry have ich, a black neon tetra has ich, and one swordtail is dead. The problem is right now I have many fry in breeding nets so I cannot risk using meds. I also don't have any quarantine tank either!
My water is fine. I had it tested a couple of days ago, and I've done a regular water change since.
What can I do? This is very sudden and I have never had to deal with a quick outbreak before.
I've had 3 cases of ich since I started this tank in March of last year; not toooo much.
I isolated the sick fish in a bucket with a heater stuck in.
But I just checked again on my tank, and every fish except for my betta has ich.
:/ I'd do a salt treatment and add medicine. I used QuICK Cure with my frys and they were perfectly fine it didn't hurt them that I know of...
Something must be stressing them. .. :/
With ich you have to treat the whole tank, not just isolate the fish that's showing symptoms. The other fish may be infected but just not yet showing signs. Once you eradicate this parasite it shouldn't come back unless you introduce new fish to the tank who are infected. I've used Quick Cure to treat with good results. I dose each day for at least 7-10 days doing a water change (approx. 30%) every 3rd day before the new dose. Be sure to continue treatment even after you no longer see the white spots on the fish. You can also use the salt/heat method instead of meds to treat but I haven't done it that way.
Read up on the life cycle of ich to get a better idea of what you're dealing with. Here's an article from this forum about it. You can also google it and find loads of info.
I know about ich, but in my opinion it isn't a big deal to treat the entire tank when I can easily isolate and then syphon the gravel. It's never before gotten as bad.
I bought some aquarium salt and I have been using that for the last week or so. It's working, but I noticed some fish seem to have had fungus too. I quickly isolated those. I lost my beautiful bala shark to mouthrot though :(
I did a lot of vacuuming on the gravel and water changes over the last while to fix this. I've removed the worst fish and put them into 1 gallon containers with aquarium salt. The 25 seems to be getting much better.
I have no clue what may have caused this. I had gotten some new fish recently, but they were healthy and from a good source. Plus, the new fish were among the last to show signs of sickness. Either way, I am learning a lot from this experience.

I have come to the conclusion that the only way that is working to get rid of my infestation is to stalk the nasty slime ridden monsters and kill them off.
I have been picking whole handful's of individual lettuces, its vial but the most vial thing is coming indoors and having to wash off the slime.
I use salt and washing up liquid followed by a sponge scourer. Has anybody got a better way to dissolve and wash off the slime?
A handful of dog biscuits and a dog are pretty efficient.
Swarfega - works on just about anything.
Even the dog.
Gardenmaiden This might make me sound stupid but i have heard of swarfega but have no idea what it is . What is it?
Swarfega is a dream! You get it at most DIY stores (and Halfords) for cleaning the hands of people who do dirty jobs (mainly mechanics, engineering, fabrication...) Its a heavy duty hand cleaner with gritty beads in that help remove the dirt.
We buy it in bulk here! It even cleans bouncy castles that no other detergent could even touch the dirt!
Now i know what it is, its mechanics gritty hand cleany stuff at least thats what i have always called it.
Anything greasy i always tell the kids sugar and soap will do it , it makes mechanics gritty hand cleany stuff. oh I sound dumb today !!!!
Bekkie, if you read this don't you dare buy any !!
Clari is it still green and like something from ghostbusters ?
We use the orange stuff KEF as its more delicate. The green stuff is still around though and much better to use if you need to involve washing in the shower with it!
Any gritty hand cleaner suggested, sugar and oil is good.
BUT NOT THE DOG BISCUIT METHOD, you risk having your pet infected with Lungworm!
Swarfega in the shower that could be most uncomfortable !!!!
nin my feet could do with it at times, I do walk on the garden in flip flops How about wearing thin disposable gloves
Sorry, I was expecting quite a different reaction to the dog licking biscuit suggestion.
pansyface I think a bit of dog licking would work very well unfortunately no dog maybe the neighbours cat would do horrible thing keeps killing birds in my garden
I love the smell of swarfega. My dad always used it when he came home from work when he worked at making printers and photocopiers.
I remember many years ago my eldest son getting ready for the school disco. Shouts downstairs. "Thanks for the hair gel mum" "What hair gel" I shout back" "The one in the bathroom cupboard" .
Ever tried getting swarfega out of a12 year olds hair?
Sorry if it sounded stern but slugs and snails a very real threat to our pets.
Feeling very protective just now as our family dog is on her final days.

Back in 1968 in the aftermath of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the strip along U Street--what was once known as the "Black Broadway" of Washington, D.C.-- was devastated by the riots that ravaged the nation's Capitol and black neighborhoods in several cities throughout the country.
In the midst of the fires and looting, Stokely Carmichael, who was leading the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee, was able to finagle a special police permit that allowed Ben's Chili Bowl--a greasy spoon on the strip that was opened 10 years earlier by an immigrant from Trinidad named Ben Ali and his wife-- to stay open after curfew to provide shelter for activists and others who were trying to restore order to the area.
Ben's would end up being be one of the few businesses along U Street--once home to clubs where Duke Ellington and Miles Davis played-- that would survive.
In the 30 years following the riots, the neighborhood became a wasteland-- violent crime soared, prostitution was rampant and drug dealers freely pedaled their product.
But through it all, Ben Ali and his family managed to keep their doors open and sell their chili, burgers and half smokes--a slightly larger and spicier hot dog.
On Friday, Ben's turned 50.
Mayor Adrian Fenty presented the Ali family with a key to the city Friday morning--honoring the diner for its unique place in the city's history.
"Ben's Chili Bowl epitomizes what this great city is all about," Fenty said.
In the latter half of the 1990s, the neighborhood went through a resurgence. Black business owners and developers decided to take a gamble on the depressed area.
Now, U Street is dotted with boutique furniture stores, trendy bars and pricey condos.
This city remains hyper-segregated, but Ben's is one of the few places that transcends the divides of race, wealth and politics.
There are more than a few iconic landmarks in this town. But the survival and endurance of this greasy spoon in its own small way provides a poignant reminder of our not-so-pleasant past.
