I know this question has been asked before but I wanted to see what kind of support I would get from asking myself.
I have an existing XHTML/CSS website up (http://www.kylesteed.com) and I would like to find out what is the best way to integrate my blog. So I have a few questions I'd like to start out asking:
#1 - How difficult would it be to re-create my existing website in WP and run my website from there?
#2 - How difficult would it be to create my own WP template that matches my existing site and still keep it separate from my website?
#3 - How difficult is it to import my WP blog into my existing site, and is that even possible?
Thanks in advance to any and everyone that helps me out. Also, I'm a novice in PHP and am looking at taking a class on it in the Spring. But in the meantime I want to see how much I can learn on my own.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Orlando is asking the Florida Supreme Court to reverse an appellate court ruling that says red light camera tickets were illegal if issued before the state passed a law allowing the cameras.
The city appealed the 5th District Court of Appeal's ruling on Tuesday.
A three-judge appellate panel said the city's red light camera ordinance conflicted with state traffic laws before they were changed in 2010 to allow the cameras.
The Daytona Beach-based 5th District's unanimous decision on July 6 conflicts with a prior ruling by the 3rd District Court of Appeal in Miami.
That 2-1 opinion upheld red light camera tickets issued in Aventura before new law was passed.
The appeal will not affect motorists cited under the new law, but it could result in quashing earlier fines.

text: Hi again, here's another POV on the issue: not me (or whoever) releasing a package which possibly starts out on CLISP first, but trying to add CLISP support to other packages: Here's a comment from Jochen Schmidt w.r.t. CL-SSL >Well if including CLISP FFI code into cl-ssl would make it GPL I would vote >against doing so. Currently, I cannot repsond to the implicit question. 1. Would inclusion of #+CLISP FFI code make CL-SSL GPL? It seems so, by the letter??? 2. If yes, what would need to be changed to e.g. CLISP COPYRIGHT -- if such a change is possible at all? I see a difference between providing a CL-SSL compatible API as part of the CLISP distribution (or via any Web-Server) and integration of some CLISP-specific code into the CL-SSL CVS tree. The former implements compatibility to the API as it was at one point in time. The latter may automatically upgrade when CL-SSL is modified (depends on which part of it - some changes may break CLISP/LW/CormanLisp support in CL-SSL if nobody tests that). Regards, Jorg Hohle.

text: Rural Life Rural Hospitals in Crisis: A Chat with Craig Jones, President of the Oklahoma Hospital Association By Rich Fisher • Feb 26, 2016 On this edition of ST, we are joined by Craig Jones, who is President of the Oklahoma Hospital Association. Given the recent cuts in both Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, large cuts in federal reimbursement costs for uninsured patients, as well as ongoing transformations in standards of care, medical technology, and qualitative outcomes, times are tough these days for hospitals, especially rural hospitals. Nationwide, 673 rural hospitals are considered "on the edge" -- and here in Oklahoma, it's estimated that more than three dozen rural hospitals are facing a troubled future. StudioTulsa on Health: Concerning the "Rural Hospitals in Critical Condition" Series in USA TODAY By Rich Fisher • Jan 13, 2015 On this edition of StudioTulsa on Health, we speak with reporter Laura Ungar of USA TODAY, who's the co-author of an excellent and far-reaching series of articles -- entitled "Rural Hospitals in Critical Condition," and decidedly multi-media in both its execution and presentation -- that have appeared recently in the online and print versions of that newspaper. The Author of "The Mockingbird Next Door," a Bestselling Harper-Lee-and-Me Memoir, Appears in Tulsa By Rich Fisher • Dec 8, 2014 On this presentation of ST, we speak with Marja Mills, a former reporter and feature writer with The Chicago Tribune. Mills is also the author of a bestselling memoir, "The Mockingbird Next Door," which details the time she spent getting to know novelist Harper Lee -- the author, of course, of the immortal "To Kill a Mockingbird" -- as well as Lee's older sister, Alice. Mills will discuss this recently published book (its origins, its development, its major findings, and so on) tonight, Monday the 8th, at 6:30pm at a Book Smart Tulsa event at the Circle Cinema. "Hard Times, Oklahoma, 1939-40: The Documentary Photography of Russell Lee" at Philbrook By Rich Fisher • Aug 21, 2014 On this edition of our show, we welcome back Catherine Whitney, the Chief Curator and Curator of American Art at the Philbrook Museum of Art here in Tulsa, who tells us all about a small but impressive photography show currently on view at the museum. "Hard Times, Oklahoma, 1939-40: The Documentary Photography of Russell Lee" will run through October 26th. Beginning in 1936, Lee worked alongside Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, and others as part of the government-sponsored Farm Security Administration, which was a New Deal program created by FDR. "The Horse Lover: A Cowboy's Quest to Save the Wild Mustangs" (Encore presentation.) By Rich Fisher • Jul 23, 2014 On this edition of ST, we listen back to a fine interview that first aired in March of this year with H. Alan Day, who's the younger brother of former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. Day tells us about his then-recent memoir, "The Horse Lover," which is a moving and perceptive account of how he established a sanctuary for unadoptable wild horses previously warehoused by the Bureau of Land Management. Mustang Meadows Ranch, as the facility was called, began in the late 1980s; it was the first-ever government-sponsored wild horse sanctuary established in the United States. "Hell with the Lid Blown Off" -- A Tornado-Driven Mystery Novel Set in Eastern Oklahoma in 1916 By Rich Fisher • Jun 24, 2014 On this installment of ST, we speak by phone with Donis Casey, a mystery author and former librarian who is originally from Oklahoma and has been based in Arizona for many years. "Hell with the Lid Blown Off" -- the seventh title in Casey's popular Alafair Tucker series -- is newly available, and (as with the rest of Casey's fiction) this novel draws heavily upon her Oklahoma roots...as well as the roots of her Sooner State relatives. "The Horse Lover: A Cowboy's Quest to Save the Wild Mustangs" By Rich Fisher • Mar 18, 2014 On this edition of ST, we speak by phone with H. Alan Day, who's the younger brother of former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, and who co-wrote with her the bestselling "Lazy B" memoir of a dozen years ago. Alan Day has a new book out called "The Horse Lover," which he tells us about on today's program. This moving and perceptive autobiography mainly describes how he was able to establish a sanctuary for unadoptable wild horses previously warehoused by the Bureau of Land Management. "This Place, These People: Life and Shadow on the Great Plains" By Rich Fisher • Dec 5, 2013 Farming, as a way of life, has of course been on the decline in this country for a long time now --- and one way in which we can actually see this dwindling livelihood is by noting the disappearing or decaying farm structures throughout America's rural landscape: the houses, barns, and out-buildings that made such a landscape habitable in the first place. Our guest is a photographer whose work tells the stories of these once-loved-but-now-abandoned buildings. Nancy Warner joins us by phone; she's a fine-art and portrait photographer based in San Francisco. Jon Katz, the Popular Author and Blogger, on Why Dogs Matter to Us (and How They Make Us More Human) By Rich Fisher • Oct 18, 2013 Tomorrow, Saturday the 19th, the annual Nimrod Conference for Readers and Writers will happen here on the TU campus; it's a day-long writing-and-editing symposium presented by Nimrod International Journal, running from 9:30am to 4:30pm and offering workshops in fiction, poetry, memoir, YA fantasy, writing queries and synopses for literary agents, and more.

FYI! New buyers!,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Toshiba BDX3000 3D-Ready Wi-Fi Blu-ray Disc Player (Electronics)
FYI!, FYI!, buyers. I received this Toshiba BluRay model BDX3000KU when I ordered my Toshiba 55WX800U 3D HDTV around the first of December. Also received two pair of Tosiba 3D glasses as part of this package. First OF ALL, I cannot say enough good things about ordering from Amazon.com. I got a terrific deal! I had shopped locally, in Nashville and online for several months. The TV is wonderful! HOWEVER, after hooking up the DVD, it would not turn on. It would only stay on standby. No luck with the DVD remote, the TV remote or manually. I contacted Amazon.com customer FYI! Again the same problem when I attempted to turn on the unit the following day. I tried everything and nothing worked until I unplugged the unit electrical cord and plugged it in again. In reading the owner's manual I learned this allowed the unit to RESET. It worked beautifully and would turn on the remainder of the day. BUT, ANOTHER HOWEVER! When I tried to turn on the unit this morning after it setting overnight, it would not turn on. I again unplugged the unit, waited several seconds for it to reset and AGAIN it then turned on. At this point I called Toshib a customer service and spoke to Don. Don put me on hold and researched the problem. Per Don, this is a "KNOWN PROBLEM" for this model by Toshiba and is called a "POWER FREEZE". Toshiba is seeking a resolution to this problem with this model. Per Don and Linda, who I spoke to when I called Toshiba a second time to clarify, Toshiba will call me at my home phone when the resolutiion found. I was not given a time-frame for a return call as it is not known when a resolution will be found. I SPECIFICALLY asked both persons whether I should return this unit to Amazon.com a second time and purchase a different model as I really like the feathures of and the functioning of this model except for waiting for a resolution of the "POWER FREEZE" problem. Both assurd me I need not do this. THEREFORE, I am keeping this BDX3000KU unit expecting Toshiba to call with a resolution to the problem or offering me another unit. I am mailing the registration card tomorrow. I am glad as I did not wish to bother Amazon.com again, expecially as this is a problem with this particular Toshiba model and Toshiba is seeking a resolution. I suspected as much when the same problem occurred with the second unit received. LET ME RESTATE this not an Amazon.com problem. I have had nothing but amazing service doing business with Amazon.com at this time. I WILL attempt to contact Amazon.com customer service by e-mail and clarify the problem with this model of BluRay DVD player by Toshiba in case there are any additional customers who have this same problem and contact them. Let me say last that the ONLY reason I feel I cannot give this product a 5 star rating is because of this problem and Toshiba was not able to give me a ballpark timeframe for getting back with me.
UPDATE: I received a call from Toshiba at 4:15 pm and spoke with Justin after missing a call from Amy a few minutes earlier. Justin checked Amy's notes and transferred me to Advanced Services Group and I spoke with John. Per John, my problem has been referred to the Research Group and I should be receiving a call in just a few days. Let's hope all turns out okay for my unit.

i also want to thank you for your followup with toshiba. i have not yet encountered power freeze but have only used it 2x and not hooked up to the 55wx800. i have it hooked up to my panasonic viera 42 inch used it for bluray and netflix, not 3d yet. i have my ps3 hooked up to the 55wx800. in any event, i am very interested in what you find out as toshiba needs to step-up to the plate and do right by their customers. thanks again for your efforts.
Posted on Jan 5, 2011 9:17:45 AM PST
Thanks again for taking this up, I was planning to do same but now I will wait for your response.
One thing that I think was interesting that as I received my DVD player first and I hooked it up using component video cables to my normal CRT TV, I didn't encounter this power freeze. When I got my HD TV, I connected through HDMI and I experienced the power freeze. Last night I switched it back to Component Video from my Blue Ray DVD to HD and I didn't encounter freeze at least this morning. I will test more and see but if you guys want to test the same, that will be great.
In reply to an earlier post on Jan 5, 2011 5:01:43 PM PST
Thanks for the info. I ordered and used high speed HDMI cables from my BluRay to my new 3D HDTV as that what was recommended. I still have my other cables, though. Have you tried watching 3D yet using your hook-up? I had freeze again this morning after my BluRay sat overnight.
Posted on Jan 5, 2011 5:32:47 PM PST
As I mentioned earlier, my BluRay DVD was hooked last night using Composite Video cables and it has not yet frozen. I know HDMI is the right way to go and Toshiba should provide a fix for it but at least this give some option. May be you can share this information with Toshiba support once you have tried it yourself.
Posted on Jan 6, 2011 4:34:46 AM PST
Bad news, it froze again even on Composite Cables. Lets hope Toshiba can provide us with a fix.

hi f. aziz, try hooking it up to another tv. again mine is hooked up to my panasonic plasma with hdmi 1.3b and it works fine. that said, i did not play a 3d on it. but have played blu-ray, used the wireless features, etc. this is not the ideal solution, but i am starting to wonder if the connection between this player and the toshiba tv has a communication problem and then freezes.
In reply to an earlier post on Jan 6, 2011 9:50:55 AM PST
Sorry, but thanks for the info. This is the first time I've ever written a review except a brief positive comment about a seller. But, this is a problem with a Toshiba product, known by Toshiba and apparently they keep producing the unitl. As a retired psuc social worker this makes me quuite concerned, no ANGRY. I FULLY expect Toshiba to correct my problem and hopefully all who are experiencing it with another unit or a different comparable model. This is not a pleasant situation.

I've had to unplug my player now 3 times over the last week. Haven't played a single disc yet. Software is slow compared to a Roku . I'm not sure why people just are not returning the units? I'm planning on getting an RMA today and just not deal with the pain. Amazon seems to be hiding there head in the sand on this too.
In reply to an earlier post on Jan 6, 2011 10:12:31 AM PST
Thanks. Time to contact Amazon and see what they have to say as well as Toshiba.

We review the validity of the evidence for an association between depression and the risk of insulin resistance (IR). We describe the potentially plausible biological and behavioral mechanisms that explain how depression increases the risk of IR and consequent overt diabetes. We have identified gaps in the literature to guide future research. Evidence for bidirectional associations between depression and IR is inconsistent. Results showing positive associations between depression and IR are derived from cross-sectional studies, whereas negative findings are typically reported in cohort studies. On the other hand, tentative trial evidence suggests that the effective treatment of depression can improve IR, and that lifestyle programs improve IR and reduce depressive symptoms. These emerging themes could lead to potential new multidisciplinary approaches to preventing diabetes.

Dear Supporters,
We would like to thank you for your overwhelming support for the start of our Justice on the Pastaza campaign! With your help we have been able to raise nearly $4,500 for the Quechua people of the Pastaza. These funds will be used for emergency travel, communications and logistics, and necessary legal support as the Quechua people demand justice for 40 years of contamination.
Just last week, the Prime Minister of Peru actually apologized on behalf of the government to the affected communities. You can read more about this on our blog. This was a huge victory for the Quechua and the other affected indigenous groups in the area, and we hope that it marks a new stage of working together.
Throughout this process, we will be sending you regular updates on the Quehua's progress, and hope to be able to continue to deliver good news.
Again, we thank you so much for your support!
With Gratitude,
The Team at Alianza Arkana

Competition in Unit vs. Ad Valorem Taxes
This paper shows that in a standard model of tax competition, the Nash equilibrium in capital taxes depends on whether these taxes are unit (as assumed in the literature) or ad valorem (as in reality). In a symmetric version of the model, general results are established: taxes and public good provision are both higher, and residents in all countries are better off, when countries compete in unit taxes, as opposed to ad valorem taxes. However, the difference in equilibrium outcomes is negligible when the number of countries is large.

Natural Remedies for Children's Allergies
If you are the parent of a child who suffers from allergies, eczema or asthma, you look for ways to bring relief and comfort to your son or daughter — but you want natural, better alternatives to antihistamines, skin-altering cortisone creams, chemical inhalers, or even nasal rinses (the latter could be too much to expect a young child to be able to do, in any case).
Thankfully, there are many natural, hands-on, more pleasant remedies that you can try for your child.
Rising GI Infections in Children Linked to Heavy Antibiotic Use: CDC
Antibiotics prescribed by doctors are linked to rising numbers of serious bacterial infections that can cause severe diarrhea in children, according to a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The study, recently published in the journal Pediatrics, found that 71 percent of Clostridium difficile infections in children 1 to 17 developed soon after the children took antibiotics prescribed in doctors' offices to treat other conditions. Most of the children had gotten antibiotics to treat ear, sinus and upper respiratory infections.
Previous studies had shown that 50 percent or more of antibiotic prescriptions are given to treat upper respiratory infections, which do not require antibiotics, according to the CDC.
Autism Rates Increasing Rapidly: CDC
Autism rates in the United States rose by 30% between 2008 and 2010, and by 120% between 2000 and 2010, according to a new study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. One in 68 8-year-old children had been diagnosed with autism by 2010, up from 1 in 88 two years earlier, says the report. These are staggering statistics, compared to the 1 in thousands ratio of American children who had been diagnosed as autistic in 1970.
The study, published online in late March, 2014, found that five times as many boys as girls are being diagnosed with autism. The CDC estimates that 1 in 42 boys has autism, and 1 in 189 girls. Caucasian children are diagnosed most frequently, followed by Hispanics, then African-Americans. The average age at which children are diagnosed has fallen, but remains above age 4 (diagnosis is possible by age 2).
Overweight Teens' Life Expectancies Not Increasing?
It's common knowledge that people's life expectancies in developed countries have increased in the last 50 years, as science has uncovered new ways to prevent, treat and cure illnesses. But a study has found that people who were obese or overweight as teenagers are not living longer than similar people did five-plus decades ago.
The life expectancy of an American born in 2011 was 78.7 years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; the average lifespan has increased by more than 10 years since 1950. But the death rate for people in the study who had been obese or overweight as teens did not show improvement during that time.
September Is the Worst Month for Asthma Attacks in Children
A study published in the April, 2014 print edition of the journal Pediatrics found that September is the worst month for asthma attacks for children who suffer from the condition.
Researchers at Tel Aviv University in Israel did a retrospective, population-based study where medical records for a period of five years were reviewed, for more than 900,000 children between the ages of 2 and 15. These children had all received primary medical care between 2005 and 2009; close to 9 percent had been diagnosed with asthma by a physician. About half of the asthmatic children were between 2 and 5; just under one-quarter were between 6 and 9, and just more than one-quarter were between 10 and 15.
Natural, Safe Asthma Remedies for Children
Doctors believe that we are in the middle of asthma and allergy epidemics, as the numbers of children and adults who suffer from these conditions continue to grow, with no concrete explanations for the increases. Asthma is now the leading chronic (or ongoing) illness in children. More than 1 in 10 American kids now have asthma. While it can start at any age, most children have had their first symptoms by age 5.
The causes of asthma appear to be varied. While the condition is a mystery to many doctors, some health professionals believe that more children are getting asthma nowadays because they're being more exposed to air pollution and other toxic chemicals.
Childhood Cancer Cases Continue to Rise in the United States
Plus: 25 Things You Can Do to Help Prevent Cancer in Children
Earlier this year, the American Cancer Society published its yearly report, "Cancer Facts & Figures." For the first time, the report included a special section on statistics about the prevalence of childhood and adolescent cancers. The separate section may be indicative of the fact that cases of childhood cancer continue to rise in the United States, despite much progress. According to the report, approximately 15,780 new cases of childhood cancer will be diagnosed in 2014, and 1,960 patients 19 and younger will die from this disease.
Current cancer rates among youths are 19 cases per 100,000 children. About one in 530 young adults aged 20 to 39 is a childhood cancer survivor.
Caffeine, Energy Drinks and Children
With all the sugar and toxic chemicals in sodas, we should be pleased to know that children are drinking fewer caffeinated sodas these days. A recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that children, teens and young adults have decreased their caffeinated-soda consumption considerably: in 1999, 62 percent of kids to young adults named caffeinated sodas as their main source of caffeine. By 2010, that number had decreased to 38 percent.
But there is bad news: youths are now consuming more energy drinks and coffee than they were in 1999, with coffee consumption more than doubling since then.
7 Healthy, Quick, Easy-to-Make School Lunches!
For parents who opt out of school-meal programs and prefer to prepare their kids' lunches, the following are useful tips, plus some healthy, quick and easy lunch ideas.
Choose Your Bread Carefully!
A good lunch sandwich starts with good bread. Unless you bake your own bread (and most of us don't), good bread choices at most supermarkets are unfortunately few and far between. A bread may have a wonderfully soft texture and even taste great … but the first thing you should look at before deciding whether to buy it is the ingredients label.
Heart Disease Begins in Childhood
Most people think of heart disease as something that only middle-aged or older folks have to worry about. But long-term studies from the last several decades have shown that heart disease sometimes begins in childhood. Therefore, preventing heart disease later in life begins with eating a healthy diet and developing healthy habits in childhood.
Coronary artery disease, or CAD, is more commonly called heart disease. In truth, CAD can develop into heart disease. CAD is the development of plaques on the walls of arteries that feed the heart muscle. As more plaque is deposited, blood and oxygen flow to the heart are restricted, which can lead to high blood pressure, irregular heartbeats and heart attacks later on.
Cheerios Cereal Will no Longer Have GMO's … but that Still Leaves the Toxic Chemicals!
In January, 2014, General Mills foods announced that it would no longer use genetically modified organisms (GMO'S) to make its original cereal, Cheerios. While Cheerios has never contained GMO oats, the company will now use non-GMO cane sugar, instead of GM beet sugar.
Growing numbers of consumers and advocacy groups are raising concerns about the safety of using genetically altered crops in our food supply; consumer pressure is behind the decision by General Mills.
Healthy After-School Snacks for Children
When aiming to keep your kids healthy or addressing problems of excess weight, the snacks that you feed your children are more important than many parents realize. It's not enough to work at feeding kids healthy meals, only to let them munch on candy bars, candies or store-bought cookies and Hawaiian Punch after they get home from school. And kids are usually pretty hungry when they arrive home.
The best strategy for a parent is to keep in the house healthy foods that are quick and easy to eat. Kids will eat whatever is handy, tasty and ready to be eaten. It is just as easy to pick up a basketful of whole, natural foods at the grocery store as it is to get junky, unhealthy foods. But in the long run, making good food choices will go a long way towards insuring that your kids are healthy, so, healthy foods are the only kind of food you should have inside your home.
Today's Children Are Less Fit than Their Parents: Study
A review of global studies measuring fitness levels among children found that today's kids have become progressively less fit than children from the last previous decades. The studies, which examined the fitness levels of 25 million youths, found that modern kids can't run as fast or as far as kids from as recently as a decade ago.
The study, which was led by Grant Tomkinson, an exercise physiologist at the University of South Australia, reviewed 50 previous studies on running fitness, a key measure of cardiovascular health and endurance. The children were aged 9 to 17 and were from 28 countries; the studies had been done between 1964 and 2010; 20 million children were from Asia.
Losing Sleep Linked to Higher Blood Pressure in Youths
A new study has found that losing as little as one hour of sleep a night is associated with higher blood pressure in pre-teens and teenagers. Frequent or ongoing sleep loss, which can result in higher blood pressure, could put sleep-deprived youths at greater risk for cardiovascular disease in later years.
Researchers from the Chinese University of Hong Kong recruited 143 children ages 10 to 18, who had participated in an earlier study on sleep apnea. The participants were healthy, neither overweight nor obese, and they did not have sleep apnea. (Sleep apnea is a condition characterized by interrupted or shallow breathing when a person is sleeping; the disorder has been linked to higher blood pressure.)
Overuse Injuries
How to Prevent Overuse Injuries in Your Young Child or Teenager
The benefits of participating in sports for school-age children are almost too many to count: sports help keep children healthy, trim, away from drugs; they help children develop social skills, discipline, a sense of fair play, self-esteem, and so on.
Keeping Your Kids' School Lunches and Game-Time Snacks Safe from Bacteria
You are a mom who understands that we are what we eat; you want to be sure that your children eat healthy, fresh, wholesome foods. Because these foods do not have toxic, artificial preservatives or non-nutritious fillers in them, you know that many of them spoil much faster.
A tummy ache, or worse, can happen in a snap, if the food has excess bacteria — and bacteria can multiply very quickly when the food isn't kept cold enough or hot enough.
To Get Your Child and Teenagers to Listen About Health Dangers, Try Using Positive Messages
A new study found that when it comes to getting through to young people, you may be better off focusing on the positive, rather than using scare tactics.
If you're a parent, you may at times get frustrated by how hard it is to get your children to listen to you when you warn them about the dangers of smoking, drinking alcohol, speeding when driving, or whatever the possible danger is.
The study, done at University College London in England, involved participants between 9 and 26 years old, who were asked to estimate their risk of suffering certain bad events, like being in a car accident or getting lung disease (from smoking). They were then told the actual statistics for those events.
Is Vitamin D Important for Reducing Ear Infection Risk in Young Children?
A growing number of studies shows that vitamin D is an important tool for preventing ear infections in young children. Vitamin D, found naturally in some foods and in enriched foods, and made by the skin when exposed to sunlight, is used by our immune systems to fight disease — the vitamin D receptor (VDR) is present in many types of cells that the immune system manufactures when it's under attack by invading microbes.
Ear infections are very common among babies and younger children; because they have the potential to damage a child's hearing when they're untreated or when they're recurrent, it is essential for parents and caregivers to take all steps possible to avoid them.
Does Drinking Sodas Cause Problem Behavior and Aggression in Young Children?
We've all heard the warnings: soda pop is bad for us. Many studies have linked moderate-to-heavy soda-drinking to obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, gastrointestinal cancers and other serious illnesses. Even light soda-drinking (defined as 2 or more sodas a week) was found in one study to be linked to pancreatic cancer, one of the deadliest and hardest-to-cure cancers. Diet sodas are also bad; they have been linked to even more disease than regular sodas, by some estimates; which makes sense, since they have an even greater number of toxic chemicals than regular sodas.
The fact is, for those of us who aim to eat natural diets and be conscientious consumers, sodas are a complete no-no. The ingredients are more times than not a long assortment of artificial chemicals and preservatives that don't belong in anyone's body — least of all, a child's.
Getting Your Child Off to a Good Start with a Good Breakfast!
Before we knew it, summertime was over, and it was time for our kids to go back to school. We may no longer be able to fix elaborate breakfasts before the kids rush to school; but there are certainly plenty of breakfast choices that are healthy, tasty, and easy to prepare.
We all know by now that eating breakfast is important, as it fuels our bodies and minds for the day ahead. But what kind of breakfasts are nutritious and healthy?

When Anita Blake, tough-as-nails vampire executioner and necromancer, is offered a million dollars by Harold Gaynor to raise a 300-year-old zombie, she has no choice but to decline. A zombie that old can only be raised one way - with a human sacrifice. Mr. Gaynor is not at all pleased with her refusal, but Anita will not be bought or threatened.
Unfortunately, when incredibly violent and gruesome murders start occurring, apparently perpetrated by a flesh-eating zombie, Anita realizes that someone else has raised Gaynor's zombie.
Anita seeks the help of the country's most powerful voodoo priestess, Dominga Salvador, in hopes that she might know about the killer zombie. However, when Anita refuses an offer to work with Dominga, it puts her on the voodoo priestess' list of enemies.
Anita is left fighting off Gaynor's goons, a murderous zombie, and all the nasty preternatural monsters Dominga Salvador can send her way, which makes for some great reading!
On top of all her other troubles, Anita must deal with the advances of Jean-Claude, the new Master Vampire of the City. Although Jean-Claude is mind-numbingly sexy, Anita refuses to become involved with a vampire. But Jean-Claude doesn't give up that easy, and his witty and sometimes wicked exchanges with Anita are truly entertaining.Read more ›
After rejecting psycho-millionaire client Harold Gaynor (who wants a very old zombie raised, requiring a human sacrifice), Anita is called out to look at the scene of a crime that seems to have been committed by zombies. So she starts investigating possible suspects -- including Dominga Salvador, a malevolent old vaudun priestess who has found a way to keep a zombie ensouled.
Unfortunately some very nasty things -- both living and dead -- are trying to stop Anita's investigations, both into the zombie murders and Harold Gaynor. With the solicitous assistance of Jean Claude and a fellow animator, Anita is able to find more and more information on the zombie-related murders -- and it turns out that Salvador and Gaynor may be working together.
Laurell K. Hamilton was pretty clearly shooting for an "old pulp noir mystery" feel in "The Laughing Corpse" -- acid-tongued anti-hero, grimy urban atmosphere, nasty big-shots, and a series of mysterious deaths. So she fills it with many descriptions of guns, dismembered bodies and creepy-crawly scenes (such as Anita holding a moving bird foot).
Her dialogue-heavy writing does tend to be lean and mildly hard-boiled, with a distinctly horrific vibe (prostitute Wheelchair Wanda tells Anita about Gaynor's sex games). But Hamilton has a rather clumsy style: endless sentence fragments ("Not resurrection. I'm not that good. I mean zombies.Read more ›
The Laughing Corpse is action-packed and suspenseful from beginning to end. Just when you think Anita is out of the woods something else comes along. This novel is as entertaining and riveting as Guilty Pleasures. There is a lot of gore and gruesome descriptions in this one, but said descriptions aren't gratuitous -- except for the police murdered scenes involving slaughtered children. That was a bit too much. I also wish that Jean-Claude had been in more scenes. He is one sexy vampire! I look forward to reading the third installment with gusto. I can see why so many people swear by this series. It's as addicting as chocolate! Highly recommended...
Anita's money hungry boss has made an appointment at a client's home. This client would like a zombie raised. Once Anita arrives and notices the weapons carried by her client's bodyguards, and the type of bodyguards this client has, she realizes this is not your ordinary "I want my attorneys to review my husband's will" so please raise him as a zombie appointment.
Anita's boss is offered a tremendous amount of money to have anita raise a very old zombie. This zombie is so old that the only way to raise him would be to take a human life, and to use human blood. Anita turns this offer down, but this client will not take no for an answer. Also, Anita is pulled into yet another police investigation when she helps the police investigate a case where entire families are being murdered.
This novel has plenty of action and the story lines and characters flows beautifully. This novel is EXCELLENT and I would highly recommend!

We would like to thank the following sponsors who support us in bringing you all the celebrity denim news you love.
Emma Roberts in Topshop and Chord Overstreet in Double Denim
A sleepy looking Emma Roberts and boyfriend Chord Overstreet were seen at LAX catching an early morning flight. The two swung by Starbucks before making their way to the gate. These two have been spending a lot of time together recently. They seem like a really odd pairing to me but they seem to look happy together.
At first glance, I thought Emma's jeans were Current/Elliott but in fact, they're Topshop's MOTO Ticking stripe 7/8ths jean. Chord wore a denim on denim outfit, with a pair of Diesel jeans and a denim jacket. Although I'm not a fan of the look in general, I think if you're going to wear double denim, it looks better to wear two pieces that are different in washes, Chord's look too matchy-matchy!

John C. Lawn
John C. "Jack" Lawn served as Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) between 26 July 1985 and 23 March 1990. On 1 March 1985, Lawn, who had served as Deputy Administrator since 1982, was designated Acting Administrator following the retirement of Francis M. Mullen. On 4 April 1985, he was nominated by President Ronald Reagan to be the next Administrator of the DEA.[1] Mr. Lawn was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on 16 July 1985, and sworn in on 26 July 1985. Although Reagan had pledged to crack down on the crack epidemic, when Lawn requested an additional $44 million and 200 more agents to focus solely on the drug, he was rejected.[2]
Before coming to the DEA, Mr. Lawn had served for 15 years as a Special Agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). As Special Agent in Charge of the San Antonio field office from 1980 to 1982, he had directed the successful investigation into the assassination of U.S. District Judge John H. Wood, Jr. Before this historic case, Lawn had supervised all FBI civil rights cases, including allegations of police brutality and color of law complaints. In addition, he was responsible for background investigations of White House officials, federal judges, and US attorney nominees. He also served in the Criminal Division of FBI headquarters where he supervised Congressional review of the assassinations of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and President John F. Kennedy.
From 1990-1994, Mr. Lawn served as vice-president and chief of operations of the New York Yankees. In 1998, he was serving as the chairman and CEO of The Century Council, a national organization dedicated to fighting alcohol abuse. On Thursday, September 30, 2010, in Washington, DC at the JW Marriott Hotel, the DEA Educational Foundation honored Mr. Lawn, presenting him with the 2010 DEA Educational Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award. This award was presented in recognition of his decades of leadership and commitment to drug law enforcement, drug abuse prevention, and drug treatment.
Role in the Criminalisation of MDMA[edit]
In January 1984, worried about increasing recreational use of MDMA, the DEA prepared a document for scheduling MDMA as a Schedule I substance,[3] a classification for drugs seen as having a high potential for abuse and having no accepted medical use. Because MDMA was already in widespread use by psychiatrists, a group of psychiatrists and their lawyer filed a request for a hearing. The request was granted, although MDMA was scheduled on an emergency basis by the DEA before the hearings were heard anyway.[4] On the basis of multiple witnesses testifying that there were medically accepted uses of MDMA in treatment, the administrative law judge in charge of the hearing, Francis L. Young recommended that MDMA be classified as Schedule III, a scheduling that many researchers, including Alexander Shulgin were willing to accept. However Lawn disagreed with the recommendation and ultimately MDMA was scheduled as Schedule I. The events were later echoed in 1988 when Lawn again overruled Justice Young who recommended for the reclassification of marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III.
However, in 1987 the Harvard psychiatrist Dr. Lester Grinspoon sued the DEA, and the federal court sided with Grinspoon, calling Lawn's argument "strained" and "unpersuasive",[5] and MDMA was unscheduled. However, less than a month later Lawn claimed that he had reconsidered the evidence and again classified MDMA as Schedule I. In his ruling Lawn claimed that evidence psychiatrists gave that they had administered MDMA to approximately 200 patients with positive effects should be dismissed as "merely anecdotal" as they were not published in medical journals.

Despite years of talking about how critical it is to pass a budget – and ceaseless criticism of the Senate when they failed to pass one – Speaker Ryan and House Republicans have all but given up on passing a budget for Fiscal Year 2017. Politico highlights the hypocrisy this morning:
February 9, 2016
Another day, another dose of deep Republican divisions. Take a look at today's headlines detailing the "paralysis," "chaos," and "disarray" that is the GOP:
USA Today Editorial: Chaos in the House
October 8, 2015
A look at this week's headlines might look familiar – that's because they are. As Republicans continue to threaten yet another reckless government shutdown, we're reminded of their resolute record of governing by crisis. Here's a quick recap of the GOP's "Government Shutdown Redux" and a reminder for the GOP that their shutdown strategy hasn't worked out so well in the past:
If for some reason you needed a reminder of Republicans' govern-by-crisis approach, record of dysfunction, and their deep internal divisions, here is a nice recap, courtesy of Politico:
"The GOP Congress is likely to dispense with the highway issue in the next few days and skip town for a long summer break. But it won't be any easier when lawmakers return — far from it."
Which one of these did House Republicans promise to do in their Pledge to America:
A. Advance legislative issues one at a timeB. Package must-pass legislation with partisan poison pillsC. Threaten to shut down the government (or parts of it) on a regular basis
National Journal's review of the first six weeks of the GOP-led 114th Congress isn't kind. Charged with the duty to govern responsibly and get things done for the American people, Republicans have spent more time fighting amongst themselves than accomplishing anything substantive. Take a look at some highlights (or lowlights, as it were):

EDITOR'S NOTE: John Kruk's 10-year major-league career? Just an apprentice-ship. All that time with the Padres, Phillies and (briefly) White Sox, Kruk, one of baseball's most colorful personalities, was prepping for his true calling: Page 2 columnist. Today, the newest member of ESPN's "Baseball Tonight" crew debuts his column with a down 'n dirty look at the Yankees' first showdown with the Red Sox this weekend.
The baseball season is only a few weeks old and the Yankees are dominating the headlines once again.
Of course, it's all their offseason moves and their annual "retooling" that get all the press. But there are still tons of questions about this lineup.
First of all, they got A-Rod. Great work, George. Reigning MVP. One of the best players in the game. But Alex might want to go over his notes with his agent next time he has a press conference.
When A-Rod put on the pinstripes for the first time, it didn't take long for someone to ask him about his switch to third base.
"At this point in my career, winning is the most important thing," stated Rodriguez.
Whoa! What? So, the first 10 years you spent in the majors, I guess that was just about making money? Sure, that's a great thing to say when you're in the middle of a $250 million deal. I mean, come on. If he needed a couple bucks before he signed that deal, I would have loaned it to him.
I'm sure the fans in Seattle and Texas didn't miss that one. I sure hope that was a mistake; because if A-Rod is the fan of the game he says he is, he might want a do-over on that statement. A-Rod always has been a class act and I'm sure that's not the way he meant it. Still, I'm sure the people in Seattle and Texas really don't care -- he said it.
Here's the problem: There are way too many guys today who say they love the game, but act like robots.
It's still supposed to be fun, right? With these guys, you ask them something like, "Hey, how was the game?" and you get a response like this: "Oh, I don't know, let me ask my agent."
I don't know how these agents got all this power. Most of them are frustrated athletes who couldn't play the game, and this is their "in." How many agents do you think really care about players when they're in the minor leagues? And then when they cut a deal like A-Rod's, they take all the credit. How tough is it to negotiate a big-money deal for one of the best players in the league? It didn't take a genius to work that contract out.
Give me a break. Isn't it amazing? The more money someone makes, the dumber they become. It's like they can't make a decision on their own: "Uhh, talk to my agents, reps and PR guys ... "
Dude, you're not curing cancer. You're playing baseball. Make the call yourself and be quiet.
If my agent ever spoke for me on TV or radio or anything like that, he would be gone. Period. They only one who should speak for you -- is you.
I'm not trying to rip apart A-Rod. He isn't the only star the Yankees grabbed in the offseason, and that isn't always a good thing.
You don't think these guys have egos? People have been telling them for years how great they are; and when people like that get together to share to spotlight, it can get ugly.
Who knows when that "me first" mentality will creep up. Put it this way. It's late September. Tight game. No outs. Jeter's on second base. A-Rod and Giambi are tied for the league lead in RBI. Does A-Rod sacrifice himself to advance Jeter to third, and give the easy RBI chance to Giambi? Or does he swing away, hoping to knock him in on his own -- risking the win in the process? Who knows?
That's months away. But right now, with the Yankees slumping on offense, I'm telling you -- if this keeps up, one of these guys will snap. Sure, when you're winning, everyone loves everyone. But the Yankees have put themselves in a position where anything else just won't be tolerated by management, the fans and especially the media.
Througout spring training, people were writing how this Yankee team could be the best offensive team ever. Better than the '27 Yankees. I'll tell you, though -- in a short series, if the Yankees face Pedro, Schilling and Lowe? All those hitters become pretty average.
Now, all that crap might never happen. If Torre can hold this team together, it's going to be pretty damn special.
I'll tell you the truth -- I watched these guys in spring training and it didn't seem like they were having fun. It looked more like they're business men going out to a job. George is paying through the nose for them. You'd think it would be more fun.
Seems like they're punching a timeclock. Put in your four or six hours a day and go home.
Forget about all the all stars, the hype and the pressure of playing in New York. You want to know the one thing the Yankees have been missing the last few years? They're missing those guys who aren't going to start in the All Star Game -- the guys who aren't going to sign a $20 million deal but who treat this game like it's life or death and will do anything, absolutely anything, to win.
When they won those four rings, they had those guys -- guys like Scott Brosius, Paul O'Neill, Tino Martinez and Joe Girardi.
I talked to Torre last year, and he said the player he misses the most is O'Neill. Here's a guy who would go crazy if he ever made an out or the team lost.
Right now, they have too many "ho-hum guys." You know, "Ho-hum, I struck out with the bases loaded. Ho-hum I grounded into a double play. Ho-hum, we'll get 'em tomorrow."
Anyone who ever say's "We'll get 'em tomorrow" should quit the game.
If you want to know what I'm talking about, just look at Game 3 of last year's ALCS.
Sure, the Yankees ended up winning the game and the pennant, but they lost some of their lustre that day.
That whole situation with Pedro telling Jorge Posada he was going to drill him, and then throwing Don Zimmer to the ground the next inning? I mean, what the hell is a 70-year-old coach doing having to defend his players?
If you think that's how it would have gone down with O'Neill, Tino and Girardi on the Yanks, you're crazy. There's no etiquitte for baseball fights, but guys on the team talk. Someone, not Zimmer, should have been watching for Pedro to leave the dugout.
When the dust settled, the Yankees were going to the World Series. Great. But everyone in the AL East watched New York let four more games go by without taking any shots at Boston. No doubt the guys on those teams are thinking, "Hey, these guys aren't so tough anymore."
Like I said, they won the series. But they lost the intimidation factor, and that's bigger than you think if you want to have an edge.
Still, there's no bigger rivalry in sports. Does anything even come close? Flyers-Devils? Lakers-Kings? Yeah, right. Give me a break.
Seriously, nothing can touch this. Last time two teams went at it like this were the Lakers-Celtics showdowns of the '80s, and that only lasted a few years. Yanks-Sox? This thing has been an all-out war since they traded Babe Ruth 84 years ago!
Still, no matter who you root for, it's fun to watch and it's great for baseball. Best part is, it doesn't matter what time of year it is. Doesn't matter what the records are or who is on the field. Every time these guys face off, it's a hardcore playoff atmosphere. And rarely does a game go by where something out of the ordinary doesn't happen.
Bottom line, the rivalry makes both teams better, and you wish everyone could be a part of it. They should call a couple guys up from the minors, just so they can feel what it's like. It's more like World Series baseball than anything else.
Combine last season's ALCS with all the offseason drama that these teams seem to provide every year, and you have the makings of yet another great series.
Winning is everything
You want to know who's out there who has the killer instinct? Who has the swagger and the ability?
Here are a few guys that everyone in the league would love to have on their team:
Fernando Vina: When this guys comes to the plate, there's definitely an attitude. Sure, you can pitch high and inside to shut him up. He'll let it hit him, then he'll trot to first base and stick it to the pitcher by stealing second. Base hit and he's home, and that's all he wanted. It's all about winning.
Carl Everett: I tried to convince the Phillies to get this guy. Sure, he's got some problems, but you need that attitude on a team. You can call Carl plenty of things, but he is out there to win the game every night. Not everyone who steps on the field can say that.
David Ortiz: You look at David in the dugout, and he's joking around with everyone. Smiles at everyone. Different handshake for each guy on the team. People don't know how huge that is. He keeps the whole damn team relaxed and loose. Then he steps up to the plate and hits a three-run bomb. Guys like that, you can't put a price tag on.
That's entertainment
OK, I love wrestling. Can't get enough of it. But when I'm in Bristol, CT, I'm screwed. They don't have Spike TV where I stay, so I have to go with Plan B: "American Idol."
Fine, I said it. I watch "American Idol."
Why? First of all, everybody hates Simon Cowell. But you know what? He's the only one out there with any b---s. Not just on this show, but anywhere else in TV.
If someone can't cut it, tell them.
That dude John Stevens? Hey, Paula, why don't you just tell him he's not good enough? I mean, giving this guy praise like he's going to be some pop icon? Come on.
By the way, that other dude, the one who always dances -- Jon Peter Lewis. Thank god we'll never have to see that again, on TV anyway. Even though he's terrible, thanks to "American Idol," he's still going to be a millionaire. America, what a country.
I think the judges see 1,000 crappy people sing for them, and they get totally de-sensitized and end up thinking, "You know what? I don't care. Fine, you can come to L.A. Just everyone shut up. Let's end this now."
I mean, how many pop stars are there a year? And this show is trying to spit out a new one every few months? No thanks.
Still, I'll tell you: That girl La Toya London is good. I think she should win the whole damn thing.
Life at the Kruk house
Now that I'm retired from playing baseball, I can do some pretty cool things.
A few years ago, I had the honor of playing at Augusta National. Even eagled the 15th hole. I framed the scorecard, and my brother got me a picture of the hole. Really cool. Perfect thing to start a guy's golf shrine in his basement, right?
See, at my house, the basement is where my two-year-old is king. No fake putting green. No photos of all the tournaments. But about 1,000 toys. And it seems like "The Wiggles" are always on.
That's the kind of stuff I know now. Like this weekend, the weather is going to be great. Let's play 18, right?
Nope. More like, let's go see "Sesame Street Live!" in Trenton. No, seriously. That's what's going on.
But when I do come home and that kid comes running at me, shouting "Daddy's home! Daddy's home!" ... Come on, no one would trade that for anything in the world.

Daimler Issues $3 Billion of Bonds to Pay Inter-Company Loans
Daimler AG, the maker of Mercedes-Benz cars, issued $3 billion of debt in four parts.
Daimler sold $1.25 billion of 2.375 percent, five-year bonds to yield 105 basis points more than similar-maturity Treasuries and $250 million of floating-rate notes with the same maturity yielding 86 basis points more than the three-month London interbank offered rate, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The automaker also issued $750 million in both fixed-and floating-rate debentures maturing in 2016, Bloomberg data show. The 1.45 percent, fixed-rate securities pay 85 basis points more than benchmarks while the floaters yield 68 basis points more than Libor.
Proceeds from the sale will be used to pay inter-company loans and for general corporate purposes, the data show. The debt may be rated A3 by Moody's Investors Service, according to a person familiar with the offering, who asked not to be identified, citing lack of authorization to speak publicly.
Stuttgart, Germany-based Daimler sold debt in January that included $1 billion of 1.875 percent, five-year bonds. The notes traded at 99.6 cents on the dollar to yield 1.97 percent on July 18, according to Trace, the bond-price reporting system of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
The world's third-largest maker of luxury vehicles posted a second-quarter profit of 4.58 billion euros, or $6.1 billion, up from 1.57 billion euros in the same period of 2012, the company said today in a statement distributed by PR Newswire.

Thank you for this wonderful plugin.
I have set up about a dozen of sites with it.
The plugin works as expected and described.
There are a few features I am missing, i.e. it would be great if end users could have criteria to fine tune what type of posts they get push notifications for (i.e. per category, per tag, per keyword in headline, per keyword in message context).
Also, a widget or a short code with details on how many people have subscribed to the push notifications would be nice to have.
I hope you will consider some of this for future versions.
At this time however, I can only say: thank you! :)

About the Author
Johanna Spyri was a Swiss author of children s stories, best known for the classic coming-of-age tale Heidi: the Girl from the Alps. Spyri spent several summers in and around the mountainous area of Graub?nden as a child, and the Alps would serve as inspiration for much of her writing. Upon moving to Zurich with her husband, where she would remain for the rest of her life, Spyri published her first story, Ein Blatt auf Vronys Grab ( A Note on Vrony s Grave ), a gritty tale of a woman suffering from the abuse of her alcoholic husband. Yet it would be in children s writing that Spyri would truly make her markHeidi was published to great international acclaim in 1880, and has gone on to become one of the best-selling children s classics of all time. In 1884, both Spyri s husband and only child passed away, and Spyri devoted herself to charitable causes for the remainder of her life, writing fifty more stories before her own death in 1901.

After Trying To Narrow Definition Of Rape, Rep. Nunnelee Claims Planned Parenthood Defends Rapists
This afternoon, the House of Representatives is debating a measure that would defund Planned Parenthood, which provides valuable medical services and treatment to millions of women — especially those who are low-income — across the nation.
At one point during the floor debate over the measure, Rep. Alan Nunnelee (R-MS) made a series of preposterous and hysterical claims about the work of Planned Parenthood and the GOP's measure. First, Nunnelee falsely claimed the measure wouldn't deny funding for womens' health. He then said that Planned Parenthood has protected child predators and people who have "raped our granddaughters":
NUNNELEE: In this resolution not one dime or womens' health or family planning health funding is reduced. It simply says those dollars cannot go to Planned Parenthood. This is an organization that has protected those who prey on our children and has protected those who have raped our granddaughters.
Watch it:
Despite Nunnelee's claims, cutting off funding to Planned Parenthood would indeed cut funding for womens' health care. The organization has conducted hundreds of thousands of breast exams, pap tests, and other services important to women. These services account for well over 90 percent of the organization's operations, while abortions accounts for just 3 percent.
Moreover, it's ironic for Nunnelee of all people to be making the hyperbolic and inaccurate claim that Planned Parenthood is defending rapists. After all, back in January, he was an original co-sponsor of H.R. 3, which while supposedly based around denying taxpayer funding for abortion, actually was originally written to do something much more sinister. As the Daily Beast's Michelle Goldberg explained, the bill would redefine rape with regards to abortion:
Under H.R. 3, the only victims of "forcible rape" would qualify for federally funded abortions. Victims of statutory rape—say, a 13-year-old girl impregnated by a 30-year-old man—would be on their own. So would victims of incest if they're over 18. And while "forcible rape" isn't defined in the criminal code, the addition of the adjective seems certain to exclude acts of rape that don't involve overt violence—say, cases where a woman is drugged or has a limited mental capacity. "It's basically putting more restrictions on what was defined historically as rape," says Keenan.
Unfortunately, the clients of Planned Parenthood aren't the only people Nunnelee is putting in his sights. He also put out a statement today praising Rep. Paul Ryan's (R-WI) budget, which would effectively privatize Medicare and shred the social safety net — forcing future seniors to pay the majority of their income for health care.
This afternoon in the Senate, Democrats and five Republicans voted 58-42 to reject a bill to defund Planned Parenthood. In a statement, Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards called the vote a "major victory for women's health," noting that even some anti-choice senators voted against the bill because it "would have denied women family planning."

Hey!Anyone else have difficulties with ordering from the St. Vladimir's bookstore? This is the second time I placed an order with them that no one has gotten back to me on. It has been quite a few days, and I have received no order acknowledgement or shipping notice. I rather give my money to st. vlad's than to amazon, but if they make it impossible, i'll have no other choice! BObby
I don't need any books.
I've never had a problem with any orders from St. Vladimir's bookstore.

We have to play with intensity for 90 mins!
I agree with both comments. Just simply not aggressive enough in the 1st half, a bit timid, which to be fair many teams do at OT, but we have to not be one of them..
Completely different story second half, especially with Danny on, and the final 20" or so, probably more (though our resident editor will disagree), we were the better team in most aspects, AND had the 2-3 chances to tie/take the lead..
This said, it looked very exciting and promising with Suarez, Danny and Borini on, only thing lacking, which to be expected, timing and an understanding between them.. If there's a way to get those 3 in sync together and with Sterling, that could be a very exciting prospect for us!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I thought sterling and Allen both looked jaded today. Also downing seemed back to his invisible man impersonation whilst that meant our midfield superiority counted for nothing in the first half with Lucas still struggling fir pace and aggression. Overall disappointed we didn't get a point against a poor united side to whom we showed too much respect until sturridge came on.
- 1 Reply to Miguel
I think Sterling just had a tall order against Evra, not only the experience, but a player who is actually in fantastic form, and we forget he's just an 18 year old boy..
That said, very much agree with Downing, back to his old best worst.. I think with a full week's training, Suarez-Sturridge-Sterling can be such an exciting force, and Borini looked quite good actually, so he provides a spark now..
As for the mid, I think it's time we start from the onset with Gerrard and Jordan in the middle.. Jordan isn't a "monster" or whatever anyone wants to call it, but his energy and work rate is second to none, his pace is very good, and he's usually very tidy in his marking, so if he can challenge well, win the ball, then we can nurse Lucas back more who is a worry for me..
Having seen so many players injured like he was, here in the states, I'm still fearful over his fitness, but more importantly, his mentality which really isn't there.. The acl injury is a mental road block and if you think too much, you're not reacting and you've lost the battle..
With Jordan showing marked improvement, and Jonjo there, we can afford the luxury of working w/ Lucas and sorting Allen who really has dipped..
