Thanks astra
Yea the sprinting ganger had gotten me to worry about stopping him in time. The turn before Fawful pulled his gang out I got a lucky hit! That extra -1 modifier is nasty, specialy if hes behind any kind of cover...
Why is combat master any good though? Isent it only usefull if your swarmed by the enemy? The extra weapons on Dave are just sick compared to what he had before! S7 24 inch 1 sustained fire dice instead of 1 S4 24 inch shot a turn. Huge increase in firepower. Even on low energy the weapon is alot more lethal but its range is shorter... Its ammo roll is also ALOT beter then an bolt shotgun round!
It seems il have to rework some models (again) Dave is getting a huge overhaul and Froggy gets a completly other kind of weapon loadout. The only one whos got a straight forward change is Shorty, who gained a bludgeon/axe/whatsamagit. Since hes already S4 and has got a sword already the axe adds a nice punch, giving him some S5 hitting power in combat
I feel for you fawful Those zombies were relentless! Dennis also lost some men to the zombies but they dident die afterwards hes still packing the highest gangrating (allthough im hot on his heels now) and some of his combat gangers got even more terrifying. Hes got 4 men with parry alone not even mention their other skills (parrying with a great axe? Really? )
Maybe the game will give him a reason to finish his gang sooner then later eh? Having 3 headless gangers as models and proxying the others doesent really make clear what weapons they got
Combat master does indeed only come into play when outnumbered, but when those moments do turn up it's golden! Having a WS of 4 or higher does help though. Choose your fights well with a combat master and when given a power sword they'll cleave through their foes like a hot knife through butter. Or me through a bag of liquorice allsorts.

Hmmm liquorice....
My leader got actually in a combat with 2 zombies, twice. In the first combat he took a zombie down and in the second case they tore him down, mostly because of poor rolling on my part though. The first zombie om nom nomed him Only having 1 attack really hurts him! Specialy if you roll a 1 and the zombie rolls a 5.... (incidentily, thats how all the other peoples gangers got eaten by zombies as well!)
The characters with step aside though are very tough! That save is very, very good! It kept meatgrinder alive (and kept him from beeing wounded!) and as a result my right flank was safe Meat and Shorty will be the only characters that I will be keeping geared for combat. I think 2 of such characters are plenty! In this game with the zombies combat was happening all over the place! In normal games... Not so much
Some of the other gangers have shown some really nice advancements towards shooting. My sniper Duncan beeing the prime example and Jose in close second. BS 4 is a godsend! Like I said earlier Shorty now has 2 attacks, fast shot and his shotgun I can see him beeing much more of a threat! Likewise 2 characters with hip shooting might be a nice pairing as well. They can advance and still keep firing their guns (although with an extra modifier) can be really nice if something is in the open or running towards an objective marker! Will give me much more mobility and still pose a shooting threat at any rate.
My ranged shots seem to hit with 5's or 6's regardless of what roll I actually need or perhaps I was on a roll yesterday?
As is always the case though, after a game of Necromunda im already looking for my next fix why must all these people have a life damnit
My leader and shorty will be absent from the next game due to the zombieflu and ive got like 5 people with old battle wounds... Somehow I dont think it will end well for me But I digress, its part of the fun right? I do have some questions though, if your gang leader isent present, but you win, does he still get the 10 xp that most scenarios award him? In a simular fashion if hes not present then whos the "leader"? Or do I just pick the highest leadership around from a random ganger? (which is 7 across the board btw, so if I have to take LD tests im boned! )
Hip shooting is great, even better when paired with marksman and a bolt gun featuring BS4! I got to use a guy like that during the last campaign, he was great at keeping opposing heavies pinned in place!
OK, to answer your questions we do have hamburgers and french fries in England, but we call them chips. Wait, wrong question!
Yes, your leader still gets the nice, juicy 10 exp for sitting on his butt at home watching ESPN moaning that "It's hurting again" while his boys go out and do the hard work. But that's all he'll be getting, no D6 for surviving. Heck, if he's kept away with his OBW and you keep winning games he'll advance without doing a damn thing! Except watching ESPN and saying "It's hurting again".
You use the next highest leadership, exp doesn't count here.

Saweet! I love french fries!
Even if theyre not from France but from Belgium
My GL luckily doesent have an OBL. Dennis does however but the bum never stays home
If Fawful is checking the topic out when are you free for a game? we can do that fantasy match first if you want
*sighs* this game is worse then some drugs........ Since it isent so readily available
You should really suggest you meet once a week, or every two weeks if that works out better.

Ive tried that. My group however is unable to tie themselves to a weekly er...thing due to school, work and girlfriend pressures...
Ive also got a model update (I swear the world is about to end!)
Ive decomissioned Dave, Shorty and Froggy and updated them to be WYSWYG! For some of the models this went more shmoothly then for the others. Dave in particular fell apart when I so much as touched the model. Froggy did come loose from his base but the arms and head could be easily snapped off. Shorty I dident have to remove anything but I added the axe that previously hang from Dave his belt
I rather like the end result!
Dave looks alot more like aleader now that his gear has been upgraded! No longer will he be outdone in shootyness (except perhaps by Duncan )
Froggy looks pretty beastly running around with that shotgun. I also reposistioned his head so thats hes looking in the direction that hes running
Shorty eh... I could only hang the axe on his belt but on his back... So eh, not the most ideal palce to put a weapon that you might need to grab in a pinch
The only thing I regret is that my gang is so lacking in shotguns Only froggy and Jennie have one (and Jennie is a merc, she doesent count!) So if I FINALY get that last juve I might have to get him a shotty (or better yet just get a ganger.... It costs more but they have all the right advancements! At least a base of BS3 is somewhat decent... and I dont need to roll that damn 6 at the end of the game.... )
Anyway ive added pictures so you can see for yourself
Shorty's sword is shining so brightly! It's a great advantage these multi-part plastic models have that you can easily dismantle and re-equip the models. However I'd be hesitant myself to take apart anything painted!

His sword IS shiney
I actually intended to make new models for versions 2.0 as ive got plenty of bodies and spare parts. Then I realized that I was beeing retarded and just ripped the arms off instead! Repainting arms is still alot less to paint then full models I think that the juve/ganger with shotgun will actually re-use the old model that I used for my gangleader I have him lying around, no reason not to use it right? Im also planning on getting my sniper a boltgun asap! Hes currently very much a threat at hitting things, sadly hes just not wounding anything
Would give me the following weapons:
Heavy stubber
1 autogun
1 boltgun
3 lasguns
2 shotguns (3 if you count Jennie)
2 pure combat gangers
Not bad I say Plenty of versatility. Got a team of 3 (flamer and 2 combat gangers) to take care of anything that gets to close and can take a podshots at range to keep my opponents head down Im considering getting a heavy/special weapon for my 2nd heavy but since hes got a old battle wound im not sure on what to take... The cheapest ranged weapon would set me back a further 70 credits (2nd plasmagun) and he has no ranged advancements. He has 3 base attacks on his profile... Perhaps I should give him a shotgun instead of the new juve? He would be pretty adapt at taking care of himself (or rather would have plenty of attack at least )
A funny note btw, aside from the boltgun (and bolt rounds for the shotty) all weapons have a 2+ ammo roll muwhahaha
Ive gone nuts again! Im updating yet, AGAIN!
This time ive finished Jose's paintjob. Ive added 2 pictures with meat added to show his different coloured skin (in my next post as i forget to add them here) I love how small touches like a head with a moustache and different coloured skin can make the model come to life
Ive also integrated the (small) addition to shorty by finishing the only thing that still needed to be pained on the axe. The handle
Not a particular huge update but still Im showing that im not just sitting on my **** over here listening to music and comedy shows. Im listening to music and comedy shows while painting
On a different note, at this moment only 4 of my gangers are (fully) painted. Leo, shorty, meat and Jose are done. Ive added some liquid greenstuff to Bill's arms (love the stuff ) to fix the gap between torso and left arm that my brother has been nagigng me about. Froggy and Dave have gotten an arm switch (see last few posts here). Duncan has been sitting collecting dust and I havent completed him yet. Im more or less waiting till I get him that boltgun so I wont have to paint his arm for nothing For JJ I also just made a new model. Alex and fred are still just basecoated as is Jennie.
Huh. Even with so few models it takes alot of time to paint them if you keep reworking them
Please don't say retarded, I find it offensive.
Your gang is looking very balanced there mate. Deciding on a weapon for an OBW Heavy is a bit of a conundrum really, but then again it is a 1 you have to roll after all. Maybe it's a case of taking a tactical risk here. Sure he will be absent now and then, but when he does show up your gang may be the better for it. Perhaps a second Heavy Stubber?
http://www.warseer.com/forums/showth...72#post6238572 featuring Soda Pop, Bushido, Malifaux and Infinity! Also features a link directory to my Ostlanders and Space Wolves.
Sorry there mate. Sometime I get a herp a derp moment and can only describe it with the earlier mentioned word...
Having a second heavy stubber would indeed be nice. Since I will be saving up for the weapon though I want it to be extra special, since it will take me some 5-6 games to save up for (most likely) I think the grenade launcher would be even more awesome Its abit more expensive (40 creds) BUT has a potential to damage even if you miss and to hit multiple targets no less without you having to devide up shots
Ive added the pictures that I forget to include with the last post. Does Jose look ok? I think he does but then again im biased, its my model
Niels, the zombie player from our last big game might be joining the group! Yay if he goes online today on msn I might be able to help him make his gang list
He seems set on van Saar but we'll see how it goes already made a little gang on paper that he might like.
Leader with plasmagun, chainsword and back up laspistol - 230 creds (almost a quarter of his total credits though )
heavy with heavy stubber, lasgun - 205 creds
heavy with flamer, autogun - 120 creds
ganger with lasgun - 75 creds
ganger with lasgun - 75 creds
ganger with shotgun, manstoppers - 75 creds
ganger with shotgun, manstoppers - 75 creds
ganger with autopistol, knife - 65 creds
juve with autopistol, knife - 40 creds
juve with autopistol, knife - 40 creds
after talking to him over chat we came up with this:
leader with plasmagun, chainsword - 215 creds
heavy with heavy stubber and autogun - 200 creds
heavy with plasmagun and autogun - 150 creds
ganger with lasgun - 75 creds
ganger with lasgun - 75 creds
ganger with lasgun - 75 creds
ganger with shotgun and manstoppers - 75 creds
ganger with knife and autopistol - 65 creds
juve with laspistol and knife - 40 creds
juve with 2 knives (he ran out of credits) - 30 creds
1000 creds on the dime. He wanted a little more firepower so snuck in the plasmagun instead of the flamer on his 2nd heavy. Still 5 gangers for terretories and still 2 juves that might end up beeing good :P
Seems a pretty awesome list to start the campaign with ^.^
Looks like a good starting list, but to be honest I'd try and put a pistol on that one juve. Maybe drop an auto gun from one of the heavies to get a las (or auto) pistol for him? The heavy stubbier is really reliable so I wouldn't worry about ammo rolls right now. But then again he could just leave his juves behind a wall for the first few games, it's what I did when I bought Jazz!
Don't those Greatswords heads work out well on those plastic guardsmen?
http://www.warseer.com/forums/showth...72#post6238572 featuring Soda Pop, Bushido, Malifaux and Infinity! Also features a link directory to my Ostlanders and Space Wolves.
Yea I love the greatsword heads! They fit in so well with catachans! How did Jose's skintone work out? I think it looks pretty good
Looking for the creds to take a pistol seemed like a good idea but he seemed to love the idea of a madman running forward with 2 knives
I also directed him towards yakromunda btw but he was confused by the website or something. He'll probably try again tomorrow I think.
In other news, Bill and Froggy are back up to having a complete paintjob!
The liquid greenstuff on Bill's shoulder came out abit wonky (forget the stuff shrinks when it dries...) but you only see it if you look up close! And Froggy just looks awesome with that shotgun and those accesories! Adding a pouch here a canteen there can really make a model come to life small changes but it works somehow... Perhaps because the large area isent the same colour anymore? Who knows
I think il finish Duncan tomorrow. He doesent need so much work anymore to finish. Then JJ, my 2 heavies and Jennie. Dave is missing the next battle anyway so il prioritize the ones that arent
Also coming back to the OBW discussion: youd be suprised at how many times my heavy fails it. He got it from the first game and missed about half of the games that I played sames goes for the OBW on Meat. For some reason they are content to sit at home and eat icecream while watching their soaps or something <.<
Funnily enough the best win that I got was without that heavy stubber... Ive lacked the firepower so many times that I dont rely on it! Also ive given it to my 2nd heavy Alex who hasent gotten injured yet. And hopefully wont get injured (hope i dont Jinx myself...) switching heavy weapons was a pretty good idea!
The skin tone seems ok, but I'll admit that I'm no great painter. Yakromunda can seem confusing at first, but if he keeps trying he'll get the hang of it.
I agree that pouches, grenades, holsters and knives hanging from the waist do indeed let a model spring to life, it's something I learnt while putting together Hawke's men. OBW's do have a habit of keeping people you want away from games, my heavy stubber girl Titania ended up with one and missing a few games. It's only a 1 in 6 chance, how do they keep beating the odds?
She took forever to get anywhere, but when she did get somewhere she turned quite useful. BS4, Bulging Biceps and Inventor is quite a desirable combination!
http://www.warseer.com/forums/showth...72#post6238572 featuring Soda Pop, Bushido, Malifaux and Infinity! Also features a link directory to my Ostlanders and Space Wolves.
Yea thats what im trying to figure out!
Inventor is nice though! Even if for the simple fact that you dont have to join the battle to use it in the end-game sequence My gangleader has it (actually got it the game he became leader!) but so far hasent invented anything yet
Update time yet again! Ive finished painting 2 blondes!
Like I said yesterday Duncan dident need so much work so I decided to finish him. His face came out looking abit pale and grim though but since he causes fear (due to horrible scars) it more or less fits in
The other blonde is Jennie! I saw her model standing there and thought "wait a sec, shes like 95% robe! YES I can paint that no problem!" and er...well I did
She dident quite looks how I expected though. But then again it was a pretty drastic conversion! Im glad to say though that the flaggelant bodies have pretty small waists and a big bum so with my greenstuff work to improve on that she pretty much works the part
I overlooked some er....strange thing on the dark eldar head but decided to paint that as a scarf. The overall model looks very nice and very different from the rest of my gangers. Its not hard to tell which one is the merc here
8 out of my 12 total currently used models are now painted (though I havent done the bases yet) if I keep this up my gang might be fully painted one day
Gotta say that Jennie does indeed have quite the posterior!

In a bid to speed shipment of orders to customers and pull more business from brick and mortar stores, Amazon.com has patented "anticipatory" shipping, a way of predicting a customer's upcoming orders based on buying behavior and having items already nearby and ready for delivery.
The strategy isn't quite the headline grabbing idea of shipping items to customers before they're ordered. Amazon would ship an item to a "destination geographical area," according to the patent, then provide the specific delivery address while the package is in transit.
An example might be if customer Fred Zithersmith always orders the latest Nick Bruel book as soon as it comes out. If Amazon used the newly patented shipping method, the company's computers might predict that a copy of the author's new book should be shipped to the general vicinity of the customer's house and addressed to him after he actually places an order.
The patent was filed in August 2012 and granted in December 2013, according to media reports. The company has not released word on whether or when they might begin testing or implementing the strategy.

Likert scale
Rensis Likert (1932) developed a direct measure of attitudes called the Likert Scale. A Likert Scale adds up responses to statements representative of a particular attitude.
A Likert Scale is often used in survey design to get around the problem of obtaining meaningful quantitative answers to restricted closed questions. A Likert scale is recognisable when you are asked to indicate your strength of feeling about a particular issue on a 1-5 rating scale. Using a Likert Scale with closed questions generates statistical measurements of people's attitudes and opinions.
For example, if a social psychologist were interested in attitudes towards euthanasia, a list of say 30 statements relevant to the topic would be made up. 15 would be favourable, and 15, unfavourable. Participants would then rate each statement on a five, or (more accurately) seven-point scale as follows:
A person's attitude is the summed score from each question. If you use a Likert Scale you will have given each cell a value from 1-5, 5-1, 1-7 or 7-1. In the above Likert Scale example Strongly agree has a value of 7, Agree, 6, Agree somewhat 5, Undecided 4, Disagree somewhat 3, Disagree 2 and Strongly disagree 1. You would add up what value is associated with each of our 30 respondents answers to a particular question.
In the above a high score would indicate a favourable attitude to euthanasia, and a low score an unfavourable attitude. The advantages of a Likert scale are obvious – they are 'easy' to construct, administer and score. See the Semantic Differential Scale.

Zachary Elementary students are currently collecting donations for the students in areas affected by Hurricane Isaac. Each student, regardless of how much they bring, will receive a heart with their name on it. The hearts will be displayed in the school's cafeteria windows. The student support of this effort has been tremendous. The project included an in-class lesson on the Hurricane's destructive path.
The Zachary Community School Board would like your input on the selection of the next Superintendent of Zachary Community Schools. Tell us what matters most to you. Complete the short survey at the link below to voice your opinion on the characteristics that you want to see in our next leader.
Due to the impact of Hurricane Isaac, all schools and offices in the Zachary Community School District will remain closed on Thursday, August 30. District officials are monitoring the situation and will make decisions about the remainder of the week as information becomes available.
In the interest of the safety of our students, faculty and staff there will be no school in the Zachary Community School District on Tuesday, August 28 and Wednesday, August 29. All Zachary Community School District schools and offices will be closed. Officials are continuing to monitor Tropical Storm Isaac and will update the public as new information is available. Parents are encouraged to monitor the school district's website for the latest information.
All schools in the Zachary Community School District will be open on Monday, August 27. ZCSB officials will be in contact with the Office of Emergency Preparedness to further monitor the weather. In the event of a school closure, information will be posted on the district website and through local media.
The Zachary Community School Board has released application information for candidates interested in applying for superintendent. The information is available at http://www.zacharyschools.org/supesearch.html
Zachary Community School District, the City of Zachary, and the Zachary Chamber of Commerce will host a reception honoring Superintendent Warren Drake on Wednesday, August 15 from 5- 7 p.m. After 10 years leading the state's top performing school district, Drake leaves in early September to become a Network Leader for the Louisiana Department of Education. The community is invited to stop in and join us in wishing him farewell at the Zachary Community School Board Main Office 3755 Church St.
Family Circle today announced the results of its exclusive survey to identify the magazine's annual list of 10 Best Towns for Families and includes Zachary, LA. The communities featured in the magazine's annual roundup of perfect places to call home combine affordable housing, good neighbors, green spaces, strong public school systems and giving spirits. Theresults of the comprehensive survey appear in Family Circle's August 2012 issue, on newsstands this week.
This year's 10 Best Towns for Families are:
- Bay Village, Ohio
- Lake Oswego, Oregon
- Vail, Arizona
- Fishers, Indiana
- Ballwin, Missouri
- Louisville, Colorado
- Longmeadow, Massachusetts
- Fort Mill, South Carolina
- Zachary, Louisiana
- Oak Park, Illinois
"We are thrilled to be included in Family Circle's "Best Towns and Cities" List and be ranked as one of the top ten cities in the country!" said Zachary Mayor David Amrhein. "Now everyone will know what we have known all along—that Zachary is a wonderful place to live, work, and raise your family. The strength of any community is found in the hearts and minds of the people. The Zachary community is marked by a tangible spirit of caring and service. We pride ourselves on maintaining a safe, affordable community, with a top performing school district, providing a high quality of life."
"The Zachary Community School District is proud to play a role in making this community a great place for families to live and learn. Our teachers and staff work hard to provide a first-rate education for all of our students," said Zachary Community School District Superintendent Warren Drake.
The publication contacted the City of Zachary, Zachary Community Schools and Zachary Chamber of Commerce as part of the selection process.

About Family Circle
Published 12 times a year by Meredith Corporation, with a circulation of 3.8 million and 19 million readers, Family Circle is one of the most widely read monthly magazines in the world. Family Circle provides smart, relevant advice, sensible solutions and inspiration in a voice that encourages and celebrates success in its pages and online at www.familycircle.com. Family Circle has always been committed to women's issues and in 1973 became the first women's magazine to fully underwrite a professional women's sporting event, the Family Circle Cup, an annual women's tennis tournament held in April in Charleston, South Carolina, at Family Circle Magazine Stadium.
Survey Methodology
With the help of Onboard Informatics, a New York City research firm that provides real estate, demographic and other data, Family Circle initially assembled a list of 3,335 cities and towns with populations between 11,000 and 150,000. From that, some 1,300 localities having a high concentration of households with median incomes between $55,000 and $96,000 were selected. We then assessed which places best met our family-friendly criteria—including affordable homes, quality schools, access to health care, green space, low crime rate and financial stability—and ranked them from top to bottom. Family Circle selected the ten winners from among the highest-rated towns.
The Zachary Community School District announced Monday that Superintendent Warren Drake will be leaving the district to accept the position of Network Leader with the Louisiana Department of Education. Drake has been the district's superintendent since 2002, and was the first paid superintendent of the Zachary Community School District. Drake's last day in the district will be September 4.
"My time in Zachary, laying the foundation for the state's premier school district, has provided me with the opportunity of a lifetime. I leave this school district with a profound sense of gratitude and pride to have been a part of an institution and community steeped in excellence. Much like the challenge of crafting a new school district, Louisiana's changing education system and the implementation of new curriculum standards and teacher evaluation methods offer exciting opportunities for innovative thinking," Drake said. The network leader position is one of five, newly created, to assist districts in implementing the Common Core Curriculum and teacher evaluation system. The network leaders will report directly to State Superintendent of Education John White.
"Although we are sorry to see him go, we wish Mr. Drake the best in his new role with the Louisiana Department of Education. We are proud to have him share knowledge gained in leading our district to impact the lives of other students within the state," School Board President Jannie Rogers said.
Drake will remain in place through the start the 2012-2013 school year providing a transition period for the district's new leadership.
"As a board we will discuss the search process for a new superintendent at a board meeting or a retreat in the coming days," Rogers said.

UN AND AFRICA: UN appeals for $2bn to break "crisis cycle" in SahelListen /
• An appeal for $2 billion is being made by the UN to tackle a deteriorating humanitarian situation in the Sahel region of Africa. Over 20 million people across eight countries are struggling to feed themselves. It's hoped the money, which is part of a three-year response plan, will help to break what the UN is calling a "crisis cycle" in the region.
Relief efforts continue for Central African Republic
• Efforts continue to help end the crisis in the Central African Republic which started in December 2012 when rebels attacked government forces. The conflict, which has claimed over 1,000 lives, continues between Christian and Muslim communities. CAR, which now has a new interim president who was elected last month, is facing a serious humanitarian crisis.
Sport more powerful than governments says Mandela's grandson
• Sport can do more than governments to bring people together to promote peace and cooperation. That's what the grandson of former South African president, Nelson Mandela said at the UN recently. The global ambassador for "Protect the Goal'' a UN campaign to raise awareness of HIV and AIDS, said that his grandfather influenced his decision to engage in sports to advance development.

Though many people probably haven't heard of Pete Seeger, there are many who have. Pete Seeger was an accomplished musician, mentor, and legend. Born in 1919 to Charles Seeger, he began playing the ukulele at a young age. During adult hood Pete would become friends with many great people, including Woody Guthrie. Pete would also become a respected master at the 12 string banjo, and would go on to mentor many famous acts such as Bob Dylan. His musical influence can be seen all over the world, spanning many generations. He would also go on to form the group "The Weavers" and would even be blacklisted during the McCarthy Era. It is no doubt that Pete lived a great, long life. As a resident of Beacon NY, Pete could often be seen playing select clubs every first Monday night of each month, and was the recent winner of a Woody Guthrie award given to him earlier. Pete was 94 years old at the time of his death.
Pete died Monday of natural causes at New York-Presbyterian Hospital. His death was confirmed by his grandson Kitama Cahill Jackson. Pete Seeger had lived a long, full and certainly eventful life. He is often viewed as almost a grandfather to folk music by many, and will surely be missed. Pete has written many famous songs within his lifetime, including the Byrds hit "Turn! Turn! Turn!" as well as the protest anthem "Where Have All The Flowers Gone?" He will certainly be missed, and his legacy is sure to continue for years upon decades to come.
Though Pete may not be with us on this earth any longer, we would like to take a moment to remember all of what this man was. He was more than just a folk singer. Pete was like that granddad in which you felt you could trust, he gave advice to anyone and everyone who asked for it and shall remain an icon long after his death. There is a reason to why this man was a legend, such reason surpasses his musical abilities. Pete Seeger shall live on in every child who picks up and instrument, in every rambler looking for a home, in every spring flower and every smile. We will miss you Pete, may we meet you once again.
If you have any stories about Pete Seeger, or anything in which you'd like to add, please add them in the comments below.

In a bid to curb opioid addiction, Canadians are starting to question the routine prescription of painkillers by dentists.
The Ottawa Citizen said local residents have expressed concern with the practice of dentists prescribing OxyContin to teenagers whose wisdom teeth are taken out, especially after a study revealed that opioids are now the leading cause of death among young adults in Ontario.
The group cited the narration made by Conservative MP Terence Young on how young adults became addicted with prescription painkillers and are now undergoing methadone treatment.
"Is there any way to get a message to dentists that this is an overuse of medication? For getting wisdom teeth out, all you need is Tylenol, and it's foolish and irresponsible to give young people such powerful painkillers when they're getting their wisdom teeth out," he said.
Brady Granier, COO of BioCorRx Inc., stated "prescription opioids are a gateway to heroin use and the subsequent spiral that ensues. So many lives can be saved by simply breaking the routine prescribing of opioids in situations where it's most likely not warranted."
Young also cited the methadone clinic owner who said many young people are now coming to her clinic because of OxyContin addiction. Some dentists are said to give a bottle of pills to their patients.
Dr. Norman Buckley, director of the Michael G. DeGroote National Pain Centre and chair of the McMaster University department of anesthesia, said dentists are among the high sources of opioids in Ontario. He said 30 to 40 percent of opioid prescriptions were issued after dental surgical procedures.
"Only in a minority of situations is an opioid required for any dental procedure," Dr. David Mock, dean emeritus of the University of Toronto faculty of dentistry and member of the national advisory council on prescription drug misuses, said.
He said over-the-counter painkillers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen are enough to ease the pain.
Opioid abuse has long been a problem not only in Canada but also in the United States.
Although more and more people are becoming addicted to painkillers, patients also face challenges as they try to quit.
Health solutions companies like BioCorRx Inc. (BICX, http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=BICX) have started developing unique treatments to address the usual problems that cause relapse among patients.
BioCorRx's Start Fresh Program addresses both the physical addiction and the emotional or psychological triggers that push a person to abuse drugs.
Instead of prescribing another set of anti-addiction pills, the Start Fresh Program offers clients an outpatient procedure to have a naltrexone implant inserted under their abdominal skin. Naltrexone, unlike other opioid antagonists, is not addictive.
And since it is implanted, it prevents the patient from skipping their daily dose of Naltrexone. Naltrexone, which blocks the part of the brain that triggers addiction or craving for addictive substances, is among the most effective medication that addresses alcohol and opioid addiction. The procedure lasts less than an hour and the effect will remain for several months.
The company has already opened up distribution of its program branches in many U.S. states including California, Arizona, Nebraska and Connecticut. Its one-on-one life coaching, which is the other part of the treatment, can be done online, through video conferencing for those who live far from their clinics.

The Men Behind the U: Great 'Canes Leaders Part 2
~ co-authored by Mitch Kamerman ~
"Champions aren't made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them — a desire, a dream, a vision."
~ Muhammad Ali
This week we look at great 'Canes leaders from the 1990-1997 era:
Lamar Thomas
Although Lamar also played basketball and track for the University of Miami, he left his legacy with the 'Canes on the football field. On his way to two national championship rings, Lamar broke Michael Irvin's reception record with 144 catches (later eclipsed by Reggie Wayne). In a year (1991) where many predicted the 'Canes would be the third best team in Florida, Lamar led the 'Canes in receptions for 623 yards and 6 TDs to a third national championship. Below, in the 1992 Orange Bowl against Nebraska, "Leaping Lamar" earns his namesake with an incredible catch. Since his days at UM, Lamar has been one of the most avid and passionate supporters of the University of Miami, taking time to greatly contribute to 'Cane Mutiny, The U, local alumni events, and mentoring current 'Canes on and off the field.
Russell Maryland
One of the most intimidating and dominating defensive linemen of his era of college football, Russell Maryland left a legacy of excellence that few will ever match. As the first Miami player to win the coveted Outland Trophy (nation's top interior lineman) in 1990, Maryland captured virtually every award in his grasp during his outstanding senior season. A consensus All-American in 1990, Maryland was a first-team All-America selection by Associated Press, United Press International, Kodak, the Walter Camp Football Foundation, The Football News, and The Sporting News. He also was the UPI's selection as 1990 College Football Lineman of the Year. Maryland finished his UM career with 279 tackles, 25 tackles for losses and 20.5 sacks. The 1991 Cotton Bowl clip below pretty much plays as a Russell Maryland highlight reel:
Randall "Thrill" Hill
As a true freshman on the 1987 National Championship team, Hill set a then-school record for kickoff return yardage with 497 yards on 19 returns. Hill holds the UM record for career kickoff return yards with 1,169 yards on 54 returns. He ranks in the top ten lists for season kickoff return attempts and yards, career receptions (107), career receiving yards (1,643), and career touchdown receptions (11). However, he is best known for two games: his "gunsligning" in the 1991 Cotton Bowl and 3rd and 43 against Notre Dame in 1989.
Warren Sapp
Say what you want about him personally, as a consensus All-American and the first Hurricane to win the prestigious Lombardi Trophy, Warren Sapp was a man among men as he annihilated opposing quarterbacks in the early 1990s. Along with All-American honors and the Lombardi, Sapp was a unanimous Big East Defensive Player of the Year, won the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, Bill Willias Award, was a Outland Trophy finalizst, Defensive Player of the Year by Football Writers Association of America and earned Hurricane football's highest team honor, the Jack Harding MVP award. Before he "Danced with the Stars," Sapp finished his UM career with 176 tackles, 19.5 sacks, and many forced fumbles and pass deflections.
Ray Lewis
Perhaps the best middle linebacker ever to play the game, Ray Lewis' dominating field presence changed the way teams prepared to play the 'Canes. Lewis was an immediate contributor as a freshman and became a starter in the 'Canes final 5 games compiling 81 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 tackles for a loss, and 4 pass deflections en route to being named to the freshman All-American team. As a sophomore, Lewis earned 1st team All-American and All-Big East Conference honors leading the Big East with 152 tackles and also contributed 9 tackles for a loss, 2 sacks, and an interception for the 'Canes. As a junior and in his final year as a 'Cane, Lewis was once again named to the All-American and All-Big East teams, was a runner-up for the Butkus Award, earned 160 tackes, [2nd highest in UM history], 8 tackles for a loss, 2 sacks, 2 interceptions, a forced fumble, 4 pass deflections and 1 TD. Off the field, Lewis is nothing short of a philanthropist helping disadvantaged youth and the families of Baltimore, Maryland with the Ray Lewis 52 Foundation, Ray's Summer Days, and the Ray Lewis Foundation. He was awarded an "Act of Kindness" award for his work in the community and recently, a portion of Baltimore's North Avenue was renamed "Ray Lewis Way" in honor of everything this mythical linebacker has done for the city. All this, and he still finds time to mentor current and former 'Canes. We're not sure words can do this 'Cane justice, so you'll just have to check out his highlights.
Stay tuned next week for part 3 of the series, great 'Canes leaders from 1984-1989!
Great Job…cant wait till kickoff!!!
Only 76 days. The days are flying by. Last time I checked It was 119, and now it's down to 76.
Money how is the study going? How is Nikki?
We good. No more studying for me, just put the finishing touches on my thesis. My defense is in two weeks. Finding a place to live is a PAIN in the @$$.
I plan on going to the G Tech game, but who knows. I am also still holding out for the FSU and S FLA games. I'm going to think about the "DEFENSE" chant to help calm my nerves while I'm defending.
Money I will be coming down for the USF game.
Hennessy is on me
cav, did you how hype shannon was in that video, if people think shannon is passive, he's got them fooled, that mofo shannon, epitomizes what a Cane is and should be. It all starts with the mental, and what alot of people don't know, shannon raised alot of them guys on the team in the 80's, if you can find someone more dedicated to UM than shannon from the 80's on up, where is he. shannon was one of them guys who always beat to his on drum and when he would talk, people listened, it's funny as hell and like shalala said, when she heard alot of the old guys talking about how they use to be scared of shannon and that was all she neede to hear, even she understand how much that meant than and definitely how much it means now, no team will be tougher than us as long as shannon is hear, like he said, those guys in the trenches are going to hate him after this year, lol.
Money – how about a big fat burger to go along with your other goodies???
I'll take a get fat burger!
I have been jonesin for a good burger all day!!
Right on time Raize LOL
Now I am gonna have to tear one up tonight.
Burgers and Henny. You guys are the greatest
When is this World cup over? Playing for ties is considerable a victory? Only thing worse than the matches, is the after match analysis on ESPN they are too damned polite. Give me a "red card", I dare you! I
Javarie had some major grade problems.
That is why he busted out of his commitment.
I think if he was able to pull it together this would've been the perfect place for him to stay out of trouble.
O well.
Wish the best for the kid. He better straighten his azz out soon or this once in a lifetime opportunity will be gone before he knows it.
I don't think there is any way to argue about that crew on the list.
Love it!
JSQ don't worry. I have a little gas grill I can bring and I will take care of the table and bring as many chairs and coolers as I can. I have two 6 foot tables that fold in half. They are perfect.
I am going to rent the biggest SUV I can find for the ride. I will take out the back seats and just pack it.
No worries.
We will coordinate a little more closer to the game and get on the same page.
Yup it will all come together nice nice.
85 days :(!!!!
damn xbox 360's are going for cheap on craigslist now that the new slim versions will be coming out.
Very good Mary Go Canes!

Cal, haha, man if more people could see that clip of Shannon ALL skeptics would STFU. But in a way I'm glad people won't see it. Instead they'll see the players and the play and they'll wonder how someone who "doesn't show any emotion on the sidelines" has so many Bosses and Hawgs on the field, executing at such a high level.
Hurricane Football…that's it. Now we have enough talent, enough mass, and enough experience to add the mentality to it. We all know what happens next. haha
The blog monster just ate my post.
Oh, there it is. haha Never mind…
Ahh, JSQ to the rescue. Thanks darlin'.
Whatcha think? Jeremy Davis fast, or Quadarias Mireless fast? HaHa……..
DZ, picked up my last football magazine for this year – Lindy's Pro Football. ended up with 4.
just realized that Antonio Dixon caught on with the Eagles last year. Didn't realize he had become their 3rd DT and was part of the rotation.
i didn't think Beckham looked that fast. especially compared to the other two.
I feel you Este,
Bg knows what I'm gettin at………….He looks like 4.45 or so.
Hurriphin, i'm still waiting to see who wins that debate on who's actually faster. Quadarias looks faster in his footage. Might be the competition, i don't know.
Where there is smoke there is USUALLY fire!

Whatcha think? Jeremy Davis fast, or Quadarias Mireless fast? HaHa……..
Neither. I think dude is more a good leaper good athlete type.

Hurriphin, i'm still waiting to see who wins that debate on who's actually faster. Quadarias looks faster in his footage. Might be the competition, i don't know.
JD will smoke him in the 100. Quardarias MIGHT beat him in a 40 or 60.
Just looked at the footage again and
JD will get in that arse in any race! HAHAHA!
More smoke. Read the exchange between Latwan and Seantrel
I believed those early reports. I was truly disappointed when he said USC, but Orgeron came through at the last minute for USC. He's a HELLUVA recruiter, even if he's a slimey bastard. And a HELLUVA DL coach too!
At any rate, Odell is a really good athlete and he legitimately likes us alot. WR is going to get tricky real so. In a year like last year you could take 4 or so, but this year it will get crazy. I'm surprised after Eli committed that there wasn't a flurry from WR. Many "insider" types feel that in the end Eli will get bumped, but I just don't see our staff doing that. Perhaps we take 4 WR and no RBs. Who knows, but if it is 4 you take, you'd have to think Watkins is one. So that makes Watkins and Rogers. Then you still have Dorsett, Davis, Bekham, Benjamin and several other all vying for a 4th spot IF it is a 4th spot.
Doesn't like the link JSQ. You'll have to block it and copy and paste it into your browser.

interesting stuff.
How would we fit him in? Sign him to a track scholly, too? lol
bg, any word of anyone wanting to transfer?
No and that would be a problem as of right now. But word is he MAY not qualify and have to go prep anyways. I also believe the lack of contract MAY have played a part in Seantrel picking USC, along with Orgeron. Don't underestimate that guy EVER. He's the LAST guy you want to recruit against head to head. He's THAT good.
Shot in the dark………
What would a fair 40 time estimate be for JD?
Rivals had him pegged at 4.5, and we all know Rivals is NOTORIOUS for being off on those.
I mean, they had AJ2 at 4.45 and TB3 at 4.4
Anyone who saw AJ BARELY make it into the endzone vs WF, knows he ain't no 4.45.
Glue Hands……….Cement Feet.
Kiddo has already made several clutch catches during his short career. He'll make another big one at some point vs OSU. Watch………
JD is a 4.3 guy 4 sure.
Those are old. No way we wear that! HAHAHA! BUT black jersey's would be FIRE to me!
miamimike01 says:
June 18, 2010 at 11:43 PM
I saw this on another board.
Hope its not true.
No way. Remember the University decided to use The U symbol for the school as a whole, athletic and non-athletic. That U has to be right there with the Cowboys star, the Yankees NY, the Reds C and maybe the Lakers logo as the most recognized sports logos. No way that's changing.
no thanks to black jersey's. some green on orange or vice versa would be retro and to my liking.
and hopefully with Aldarius losing some weight he also loses a tenth of a second off his 40 time. usually you see the big gain in speed from a guys freshman to sophomore year, Aldarius just might have his come a year later.
and i'm curious to see what happens with Seantrel. If he doesn't qualify and has to go the prep route that could be the best way about it. Would give time for a scholly to open. But could just ask for a release from his scholly and go to prep school for a year during the year he has to sit out, too. He's not exactly thinking about being on a 5 year plan anyway.

Is that 4 pro football mags or football mags in general, college and pros? Your catching up with my addiction!
I haven't gotten any pro football mags yet. Honestly I'm all caught up in the world cup but don't tell anybody here I said it. I grew up in central and south america and even though I could get the kids at school to play american football the organized sports to play were soccer and baseball. So I played, and now I can enjoy the sport.
Soccer is what it is. Everybody at work is making suggestions to change it, put three balls on the field at the same time, no offsides, have 3 snipers positioned around the field with three tranquilizer darts for random moments of madness. Pretty funny stuff. The ref sucked in the USA game yesterday but they should've been more focused in the first half. Oh well, they're still alive.
And I had no idea about Dixon either. Amazing that I live where the Redskins do but all my focus is down south… good for him getting some PT with the Eagles. I thought he came to the skins just because of Palermo being their D Line coach… maybe that was enough to get his foot in the door and he's taking it from here. I'll keep my eye on him this year.
Very interesting bg! JSQ those fajitas sound good! when I lived in Cali after the kids were born I went to Weight Watchers and lost 30 pounds. I made either veggie fajitas or tofu stir fry every night, Angry was not happy with that selection. So to this day he will say not stir fry again, lol!
mmmmmm tofu…
LOL I like the three balls idea!! kinda like playing pinball and you hit that multiball round. Nutty.
Snipers are always welcome.
Tofu makes me want to vomit. Just not worth it.
SH what are you up to homeboy????
The only way he comes here is if he heads to prep for atkeast a year and straightens out his shyte.
He obviously wants to play somewhere warm so you never know….
You make room for a kid like that no matter what. I can think of some dead weight to drop on this team at anytime. Not to say RS is like that but I am ruthless. No one is bigger than this U, NO ONE!
I agree. No way SH gets in this year but if he goes the prep route maybe he can even EE next January. If we blow up as expected we might have a few more players going to the League than expected.
DZ, 4 overall. 2 college and two pro. usually i do 2 pro and 1 college (phil steele), but liked the sporting news college one for this year.
and yeah i'm closer to the redskins stadium then their practice facilities, but either way, up here in redskin country too. bg is over in Bowie. Hyattsville for me.
I'm out in Ashburn VA, literally where they practice at. We'll all have to get together at some point this football season.
Or not… didn't mean to kill the blog. We can just watch it at our own places.
Dolphins fan. I was born in Mercy Hospital, Dade County Miami, then moved. But my loyalty stuck with both the Canes and the Dolphins.
Love watching the Ravens play though for obvious reasons. Miami Dolphins play at Baltimore this year so I'll make the drive up for that.
Phillip Dorsett, WR from STA is set to announce today. Here's to hoping! []_[]
Its between Us, Ohio State, and UNC. I think it REALLY is between us and UNC. We'll see. Giovani is his boy and he's at UNC, but I think when all said and done he picks The U!
DZ, great to hear that about Dixon. Love to see our young men develop and overcome obstacles, whatever they may be. It's what turns boys into men.
Seantrel needs to come on down if he won't qualify this year. Go to Milford or something, grow up, get away from daddy, then come on to CG and learn how to be a man and a great football player.
Esteban gets credit for the scoop on that one Captain but I agree… great to see him taking advantage of the window of opportunity he's got.
Born in Wilmington General Hospital, Wilm. DE. Grew up in Newark.
Probaly would've been an a Philly guy, (like practically the entire state of DE is) but my uncle Keith put me on to the Dolphins in like 1990.
The majority of the folks who don't root for PA based teams, roll with the Skins, the O's, Ravens, Wizards, ect.
Came to VA my Sr. Year of HS……………then went back home for three years. For some reason, I decided to start a family, and ditched the particular way of life I was living and came back here. Became a UM fan by watching (what I think was) the 94′ UM-FSU affair with my Seminole cousin. I really just wanted to root for the team that he was against, and it was just extra convenient that they happened to be Miami based too.
Glad FSU wasn't playing UF that day…………
Thank the lord, Hurriphin, lol.

BG, what kind of WR is Dorsett?
Dorsett's a small, shifty, speedster type. Somewhere between Roscoe and Sinorice I'd say.
I really like him.
He looks like the token UM squirty little burner, that we've always been so effective with in the past……..
Males me really wish we could find a way to get Davon Johnson on the field.
That should say MAKES me wish………..
When Bg ain't around, I'm in charge of recruiting around here!!!!!!
(Nervously looks over shoulder for bg)
Hurri we better catch your azz at a game this year!!
I already have OSU and USF booked.
Pitt is on as well as Vigina.
GT is a possibiltiy cause I am a sucker for my old stomping ground buckhead.
Holla at ya boy.
Getting ready to go tear up a gangsta meal at one of my favorite local restaurants.
Damn I love to eat good food. NO TOFU!!!
I see you Hurriphin! HAHAHA! Dorsett is shifty and fast. He's about 5'9, 5'10. Runs a 4.35 – 4.4. Has good hands. Can stretch the field and can go across the middle. He's a playmaker. Think a faster Thearon Collier. Not as explosive as Roscoe, but a VERY good prospect none the less. LOVE HIM! Wanted him in this class since I seen him vs Byrnes on ESPN. VERY, VERY good pickup and should start the dominos falling on WRs. I told you all the other day when Green commited to expect Dorsett to announce soon too. Those were the 2 big dogs over there, although Bobby Hart gets a lot of hype as well. He's unlike the 2 WRs is less earned IMO. Announcement is at 7.
Hurriphin, haha, that's good. BG's a busy man so we need someone to hold it down when he's away.
So if he signs how many WR spots does that leave? Like one, for the tall kid? This class is going to be very interesting.
Interesting indeed. I think that would leave 1 or 2 spots open. Watkins has one of those locked up if he wants it. You'd have to think the same with Benjamin, but there ARE concerns if Benjamin has grades or would qualify. Then you got a kid like Beckham who REALLY likes us, BUT is an LSU legacy (mom and dad) so you'd have to think it will be EXTREMELY hard to get him out of there. But I'd have to think Benjamin and Watkins would be the next 2 dudes on the radar and with Watkins visiting last week with Dallas Crawford, I would be surprised if, 1.) they commited silently, or 2.) if Dorsett announces for UM as I think he will, that that makes some WRs want to be sure and shore up their spot(s) in this class.
Mike I was spammed. Can you grab my last post.
He has 5 hats in front of him
UGA, UNC, Miami, UF, tOSU
Canez 1.
You make the report bro. Auto signed me out. Thanks bro. I have to go anyways. I'll watch it later!
The feed is live and UNPROTECTED. Use JSQ's link above!
The announcement is delayed momentarily as they await some of Phillip's family members. OBVIOUSLY they are on CP time! HAHAHA!
New Hankerson and Duper vids!
The only games I have a shot in hell at attending are @UVA, and @Duke…….Ironically, the two lamest games of the schedule.
If I can't get to either, it won't be cause I didn't try, though. In case yall didn't know, Hurriphin is Ecuadorian for "Poor."
Gotta love CP Time!!!!!!!!!!!
Is our thing with Pitt a home and home, back to back, or do we play them again I'm a couple years?
Duper could be a very good WR coach. BUT he has all the past problems. I like him alot except for he's a QUE! HAHAHA! A Phi A rules! '000000000000000000006!
Got to run. Can't wait for Phillip anymore. NEWAYS, he'll announce Miami…OBVIOUSLY. If not I'd be SHOCKED!
Wife and two kids who ain't "get in at the movie theater free" age.
Blue-Collar life kinda sucks………
You mean Charlottesville, right?
Dorsett to the U
It's all about the U!!!!!!!
Can anyone answer my Pitt question?
JSQ, i'm a patriot fan. i enjoy following the Redskins and Ravens but not a fan of either. i'm a DMV resident of 5 years. no loyalties.
I see the message didn't get thru, if anybody see's coach stoutland, 1st name jeff, before i do, tell em i said don't start this bs again:
• Although UM likes how center Tyler Horn and tackle Jermaine Johnson emerged this spring, assistant Jeff Stoutland makes a good point: "You look at the national champion each year; they've got about 120 starts among their offensive linemen." UM has 47, including 27 from Orlando Franklin, who's moving from guard to tackle. "But I think they're going to be a good group." Franklin had NFL interest "but my mom stepped in and said go back to school. It was her decision."
stoutland, we don't need you here waisting time to try and come up with some form off relevance if the o-line performs poorly. If you gone go back, go back and do all the research than, if that's the case and see how many teams won the national title without that equation.
Gotta luv how shannon/aubrey hill(Now) just keeps bringing them in. The main thing i luv hearing is how almost every recruit that gets interviewed they talk about how honest UM was(which is a good indication if which teams are not honest), how we kept it real, by letting a kid know, we don't offer just because everybody else starts offering, when we offer, it's because we really want you on the squad, a kid & his family can't do nothing but respect that.
I read today where dumbo fisher is saying he can always outwork us and the gators in recruiting, in the words of lee corso "NOT SO FAST" our non-friend, 1st off, you gotta know what type of players to recruit from Miami, and dumbo will never have that over shannon, he's hiring all these psychiatrist for the team, seeign who can learn what faster, in other words, he doesn't understand the players on his team so he goes out and hires people who'll help him understand them!
Sucks that we won't get to go head up with the Brown Bros.
Would've at least made for an attractive side story, during the inevitable 50-10 blowout……….

Snap! Franks and Coneys
About: "Ever since I moved to Atlanta in '93 I can't tell you how many times I've heard people say 'You just can't get a good hot dog in this town,'" says owner of SNAP and Central New York Native Brian Murray. "Every time I would tell them I know the best," says Murray with a distant gaze. Until one beautiful sunny morning at a farmers market in July 2011, Brian finally carried out his promise that one …day he would introduce Atlanta to the products, styles, and traditions of his childhood growing up in Oswego, NY. One of those products is Hofmann hot dogs, and on that sunny day standing under a tent, and behind a grill he purchased from Costco the night before with money he didn't have, the customers lined up and asked for more. "I don't just serve hot dogs, I serve childhood memories of time-tested proven winners, and I deliver them the way only a Central New Yorker can do it," exclaims Murray. That's why he didn't quit two years earlier after a chef and restaurateur heard about his idea and wanted to start a business. "I made them a Texas Hot and they loved it! They said I had a winner but chickened out a few days later because they "crunched the numbers" and didn't like what they saw," says Brian. "I said fine, I'll do it on my own. This will sound trite, but I didn't start this to make a lot of money. I started it because I knew people would love it and I wanted to have fun. I had the emotional connection and passion they didn't. Sometimes that's worth more than a spreadsheet will tell you." To this day those potential business partners are wondering what could have been. In a hushed tone Brian says, "One of them even told me that it took a lot of balls to do what I did and he admired me for it. All it takes is a little passion." If you ever get a chance, stop by SNAP for THE WISEGUY or THE LATIN LOVER and an order of Brian's New York buttered salt potatoes. You will probably see Brian working meticulously at lightning speed filling orders and personally thanking everyone who stops by for a bite. You won't be disappointed.

Most siblings fight like cats and dogs at some point in their childhood (if not all of it). Parents have to constantly mediate and problem-solve just to get some peace in the house. But when you grow up, your parents are no longer there to force you to like your sibling(s), to make you play with them and play nice. As adults, it's your own responsibility to maintain that relationship. The sibling relationship must, at some point, morph into a real friendship. But how do you do that when you're both busy now with life and kids and careers and families? How do you maintain a solid relationship with your brothers and sisters once you're adults?

Call and text often
You can't just sit around wishing and hoping that they're okay. It's not enough to just think about them. You have to show and tell them that you are thinking about them. Keeping in touch with your family is what maintains the connection. Your sibling is no longer in the twin bunk bed on top of you or the next room. They may be in a different city, state, or country now. But with technology like FaceTime and Skype, it is still possible to maintain a close connection.
Respect each other's differences
You are going to disagree. You will. You always have. The difference now, is you are fighting over some pretty big-button issues instead of over trivial things like sharing toys and who's turn it is to do the dishes. Now your arguments are pretty low blows (nobody can hurt you like your family). You're more likely to hit below the belt now. But try not to fight dirty with your siblings. Try to voice your opinion, but also learn to respect each other's differences. And always, always apologize.
Go on a trip together
Spend some real quality time with your sibling. Go on a trip away together. Whether it's a Carribean cruise or just a weekend getaway, it's important to spend some real time together.
Stop tattling!
If you're going to have a real, adult relationship with your sibling(s), you have got to stop running to your parents and complaining about issues you have with your them. Stop tattling! Be an adult about it and learn how to talk things out.
Visit each other
Talking on the phone is great. And going on trips together is great. But sometimes you need to honor them by visiting them. It is a sign of respect to visit someone in their home. (After you've been invited of course) Hang out with your sibs on their own turf every now and then. And invite them over to your home.

Study: Pet Owners Prefer Tougher Breeder Standards Over Pet-Sale Bans
Dog and cat owners think the best way to crack down on illegal puppy mills is to enact and enforce tougher breeder standards, according to a recent study.
The Pet Leadership Council, a coalition of pet industry leaders championing responsible pet ownership, commissioned Harris Poll to conduct an online survey of more than 2,000 U.S. adults ages 18 and older to determine Americans views on puppy mill regulations.
It showed that 67 percent of the respondents favored tougher breeder standards, compared to 33 percent who supported banning the sale of dogs and cats at local pet stores.
"We all want to see puppy mills eliminated today," said Bob Vetere, CEO of the American Pet Products Association, one of the founding members of the PLC. "But America's pet lovers have made it clear that banning the sale of dogs and cats at local pet stores is not the best way to do it. What this poll tells us is that pet owners want tougher breeder standards so that they can be confident that dogs and cats are raised humanely and in the best interests of the animal."
The Pet Leadership Council is lending its support to efforts to enact tougher breeder standards with more rigorous enforcement. At the same time, the PLC is taking a lead role in a lawsuit that challenges a pet-store ban in Phoenix.
According to the poll, 89 percent of U.S. adults say the solution to puppy mills is to have tougher breeder standards that crack down on illegal operator, while 81 percent of U.S. adults say banning dog sales entirely at pet stores will not stop puppy mills from continuing
In addition, 92 percent of U.S. adults report follow-up visits to breeders are needed to ensure regulations are being followed to avoid puppy mills, according to the poll.
"Puppy mills are an unacceptable problem," said Ken Oh, chairman of the Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council and PLC member. "But pet-store bans like the one in Phoenix and more than 50 other communities across the country should be an unacceptable solution."

Clearly the elimination of Puppy Mills through regulation is a giant step forward, but it is only the first step, as a corollary to stronger Regs: the States' need the resources in place to enforce the regulations:
The regulations should be drafted with input from all interested and responsible parties, Breeders, responsible leaders in the companion pet industry, Animal rights advocates, the State enforcement agencies that will be responsible to administer the new regs.

I do not know any legitimate breeders who would sell dogs to a pet store because they want to screen the prospective purchaser themselves. With that in mind only a puppy mill or kitten mill would sell their animals to a pet store. I take great care to educate consumers on what to look for in a breeder and what to avoid. I will also recommend certain breeders but only after they have been fully vetted as responsible and ethical.

Responsible breeders do not sell to pet shops.
Code of Practice for CKC Member Breeders: (Canada)
"No breeder shall sell or donate dogs for the purpose of their being auctioned, raffled or to pet stores."
"Potential purchasers of dogs shall be reasonably screened for their suitability and capability to own and meet the needs of the particular breed.The concept of a dog being a lifetime commitment should always be reinforced with the purchaser."
"Dogs must never be sold on a "with or without papers" basis. As noted in Section III. (b) above, all dogs must be registered with CKC."

Title: "Hypervelocity Stars"
Abstract: A massive black hole sits in the heart of the Milky Way. Most stars are found in multiple systems. A consequence of these two facts are "hypervelocity stars" ejected from the Milky Way at million mph velocities. I discovered the first hypervelocity star in 2005, and since then have found more than 20 unbound hypervelocity stars in a targeted survey. Recent results include new evidence for their origin, an unexplained spatial distribution on the sky, and Hubble Space Telescope proper motion measurements that may allow us constrain the shape and orientation of the Galactic potential.
