17 Easy Dinner Ideas
I'm Lovin' It {linky party}
I have two requirements for week night dinners: Quick & Easy Dinner Recipes
I love to be in the kitchen to bake………but when it comes to cooking, I like to get in and out.
I've been collecting recipes I'm finding around the web for dinner ideas – some I've tried already, some are on my list and others are on my Eats & Drinks pinterest board.
Clockwise starting with the top left:
What's easier than a one dish meal that can be prepared all in one pot too! ……..now THAT is my dream dinner! Kevin and Amanda shared a recipe for Spicy Sausage Pasta that I can't WAIT to try! I love that it has summer sausage instead of our usual chicken or ground beef with pasta.
We first made Chicken Enchilada Puffs last fall, and they have since showed up on our menu at least once a month! All of the taste of a chicken enchilada rolled up in a crescent roll. Toss up a salad while they are in the oven and you have a quick and easy dinner the whole family will love! – these are great left over too!
Pork Tenderloin is on our table a few times a month – I usually just season and toss on the grill, which is super easy, but I was starting to get a little bored with it. Enter the day I found the Brown Sugar and Balsamic Glazed Pork Loin over at C+C Marriage Factory. This recipe changed my life! …..ok, maybe not really, but this is one FABULOUS pork tenderloin, it's tender, juicy and mildly sweet. You can pop in the crockpot in the morning and serve with your favorite sides, or as sandwiches or wraps. I would guess it would be delicious leftover…..but we never have any left over to try!
This Chicken Spaghetti Recipe has been on my must make list for a while, but for some reason I haven't made it yet. What I love about it, besides being a one pot dish, is you can use a Rotisserie Chicken! I love to pick those up for a really quick dinner and I love using them in recipes.

My favorite design for the dinner plates are, Italian Countryside… I love the clean yet inviting look of white. I would dress this set up with lots of color using some of the great recipes on this blog… Thanks for sharing…
Without a doubt I would choose Italian Country Side – my husband, however, wrinkles his noise at all things white ("They're CREAM." I tell him). He would choose Black Swirl and so we'd end up settling on Anissa, which is within both our tastes! Hope we win!!
The Black Swirl Mikasa is my favorite since is it not like anything I have ever had! Unique! TidyMom is a wonderful blog and always helpful/interesting!

Présentation de l'éditeur
Almost everyone has had a moment when they've felt a connection to an animal. Animal communicator Marta Williams says this is the basis of animal communication and it's a skill anyone can develop. Williams's background as a scientist informs her logical step-by-step approach to learning the "language" of animals — a process combining mental imagery, visualization, deep listening, and tuning in to one's intuition. Practical advice and proven techniques are interwoven with inspiring real-life accounts. Williams also discusses ways to use these skills to find lost animals, help animals heal from injury or illness, and explore similar deep connections with nature and the earth.

I had a very short stay with Ginny. She was a very welcoming host (as were her three friendly cats) and the room was extremely comfortable and as described. Her house is close to bus routes and it was possible to get into the City Centre without any problem. The house is in a quiet residential area - it was pleasant to be greeted by the older generation in the street in the early morning.
Ginny couldn't have been a nicer host, chatty and knowledgeable she was really welcoming and her flat is and lovely comfortable with outside space. We would definitely stay again.
Comfortable room in a quiet residential neighbourhood, easy accessibility of the city by public transport - and above all Ginny, warm, friendly, hospitable and helpful. Our warmest recommendation!
Situated in the outskirts of Edinburgh the convenient bus connections, the quietness and the nearby sea make this a good place to stay. Ginny is very friendly. You have to be aware - as she rightly points out - that you are sharing her home with her.
A very nice woman with a nice accomodation and cute cats. What more could one ask for.
Thanks Ginny!
All it was perfect : the room confortable,the toilet clean and Ginny is so friendly.
The house is located in a very quiet zone and you can park on the street in front of the door.
In the future we absolutely come back to Edinburgh and of course Ginny will be our first choice.
PS:She has 3 lovely cats, and if you leave the door open they come to see you:-)
Thanks for all Ginny!
We had a great time at Ginny's place. Her house is lovely and she was a great host. Definitely place to recommend!
We had a lovely stay in Edinburgh at Ginny's house. The room was clean and cosy, the neighbourhood was quiet but we were able to reach the city centre through one direct bus. Ginny was very friendly with us and her home is a quiet place to stay. Would definitely recommend.

This morning I clicked to deactivate the W3 Total Cache plugin. It had been operating without a problem for months although I did not have all the options activated.
Immediately upon clicking "Deactivate" I got the white screen of death. I tried clearing the browser cache. Still white screen. Per some of the other threads, I tried deleting through my C-Panel File Manager the W3 folder in the plugins folder: still white screen. I tried renaming the entire plugins folder to "plugins_hold" : still white screen.
I have not installed any other plugins in the last 30 days or so. I have not made any mods to the php coding in many more than 30 days.
Logic leads me to wonder if W3 places files in places other than the plugin folder that I must find and delete to regain access to the admin screen?
Is there any other answer short of a reinstall of WP and a restore from a backup? And even then, how can I safely remove W3 without a recurrence of the white screen?
Thanks in advance for any help,

Love these pancakes! Had the Gingerbread in the winter and they were great! Tried the lemon and threw in a few blueberries and they are just wonderful. Easy to make too!
I bought this for my husband who loves pancakes and isn't great at making them from scratch. Such a nice change from the usual, boring stuff available at the supermarket! Very tasty and a distinct lemon flavour, but not overpowering. A hit in this house!
SO AMAZING!! The first batch I made exactly according to the directions and they were amazing. The second batch i put a little less water to make the batter thicker, so the blueberries would hold better. With blueberries the lemon pancakes were mind blowing.

Hi folks,
On my site there are a few paid banners for advertising.

Does anyone know about a plug-in that do something like counting hits on a banner?

A senate panel gives its approval to a bill that would allow schools to miss five days each year for bad weather and other emergencies.
The bill now goes to the full senate and if approved would move to the Ohio House. Zanesville City Schools just missed their fifth day Tuesday.
"Around here nobody has really been upset we went from 5 to 3," said Coordinator of Operations and Student Services Kevin Appleman. "It's just the way it is and we just deal with it. If they give it back to us okay. It's fine. Once again, it's important to have students in school."
If the district must make up the two days they are over, they'll do so at the end of the school year. Right now the district hasn't had to rearrange any schedules do to snow.
"We're still on target," said Appleman. "We have testing for the OGT's coming up in March, so we're trying to make sure we get the students ready for that."
You can track how many days the school has missed and when make up days will take place by visiting the Zanesville City School District's website.

Yes he did, can't think which game.
Tonight, he wanted the ground to open up and when it didn't he tried to will himself into an unconscious state.

Spot on son ,spot on.
Yes he did do exactly the same thing earlier in the season. It was embarrassing then as well but as it was the first time we sort of ignored it.
He rolls around on the ground with a face like he is either having a VERY serious orgasm or he is imitating Speedy Gonzales with two broken legs and everybody knows (and even if they dont then it is obvious on the replay) that he has hardly been touched.
Absolutely pathetic. How can we seriously barrack Drogba after this?

It was indeed a comedy moment...I thought he was hurt but as soon as he pulled his "Pain Face" I knew he was taking the pish. The guy just doesn't cut the mustard...that's why we bought Cudicini isn't it?

Range Description
Physical Description
Coryphaena hippurus has a long, slender, tapered body specialized for swimming at high speeds. It has pigmented pelvic fins and bands of pigment laterally on both the body and median fins. There is a square supraorbital region, and the dorsal fin runs nearly to the bright yellow caudal fin. C. hippurus is a bright blue-green dorsally, and yellowish-white with pigments ventrally. Sexual dimorphism is evident, but only noticeable after 6 months of age (Benetti, et al. 1995). Males are physically larger and heavier than females of the same age, and males have a more pronounced neurocranium (Ditty, 1994). Dolphin fish commonly reach 1 meter in length, but can reach up to 2 meters. They usually weight around 14 kg but can weigh more than 30 kg, with a maximum recorded weight of 39.5 kg.
Range mass: 39.5 (high) kg.
Average mass: 14 kg.
Range length: 2 (high) m.
Average length: 1 m.
Other Physical Features: ectothermic ; heterothermic ; bilateral symmetry
Sexual Dimorphism: male larger; sexes shaped differently

Diagnostic Description
Inshore/Offshore: Offshore, In & Offshore, Inshore
Water Column Position: Surface, Near Surface, Mid Water, Water column only
Habitat: Water column, Flotsam
FishBase Habitat: Pelagic
In pelagic regions, Coryphaena hippurus is commonly found near floating objects, apparently because its prey seek refuge under the objects (Palko, et al. 1982).
The dolphin fish is a top predator in the Atlantic Sargassum. Common Sargassum fauna, such as members of the Balistidae, Carangidae, and crabs (Decapoda), have been found in the stomachs of dolphin fishes caught there (Beardsley, 1967).
Though it is most frequently found in tropical waters, Coryphaena hippurus has been detected and studied as far north as Ireland (Quigley, 1996).
Habitat Regions: temperate ; tropical ; saltwater or marine
Aquatic Biomes: pelagic ; coastal

Habitat and Ecology
This species is fast-growing, and matures relatively early. Maximum size is 200 cm, but more commonly is found to 100 cm.The all-tackle game fish record is of a 39.46 kg fish caught in Papagallo Gulf, Costa Rica in 1976 (IGFA 2011). Longevity can reach four years but is usually less than two years (Oxenford and Hunt 1983, Oxenford 1999, Lessa et al. 2008). Age at first maturity is three to four months in the Gulf of Mexico, four months in the Caribbean (Oxenford 1999), six to seven months in the northeastern North Atlantic, and four months in northeast Brazil (Lessa et al. 2008). Off North Carolina, males reach 50% maturity at 476 mm, 100% at 645 mm; females reach 50% maturity at 458 mm, 100% at 560 mm (Gibbs and Collette 1959, Oxenford 1999, Ditty 2005, Schwenke and Buckel 2008). In the eastern Caribbean, males reach 50% maturity at 91 cm fork length (FL) (four to five months old) and females at 83.5 cm FL (four to five months old) (Oxenford 1999). In Puerto Rico, 50% maturity is reached at 45 cm FL (greater than 7 months old) (Perez and Sadovy 1991).
Spawning is probably year-round at water temperatures greater than 21°C, and spawning occurs in the open water when water temperature rises. In temperate areas such as North Carolina, peak spawning occurs from April through July. In East African waters, spawning season may last from March to early June and spawning occurs inshore. In tropical regions spawning likely occurs year round. Batch spawning occurs at least two or three times per spawning period. Batch fecundity estimates in the west central Atlantic range from 58,000 to 1.5 million eggs and are strongly influenced by size (Gibbs and Collette 1959, Ditty 2005, Schwenke and Buckel 2008, Oxenford 1999). In southern Brazil, spawning occurs from November to February, at least between 20–28°S (Amorim, pers. comm. 2010).

Recorded at 85 meters.
Habitat: pelagic. Found in open waters but also near the coast (Ref. 9293). Forms schools. Inhabits surface waters where it feeds on almost all forms of fish and zooplankton. Also feeds on crustaceans and squids (Ref. 2850). Spawns in the open sea and probably approximate to the coast when the water temperature rises (Ref. 9293). Attracting devices such as floating bundles of bamboo reeds or cork planks are used to concentrate dolphinfish before the nets are set. Marketed fresh and is of high value (Ref. 9293); also utilized frozen (Ref. 9987).
Trophic Strategy
Diet: octopus/squid/cuttlefish, Pelagic crustacea, bony fishes
Dolphin observed in the western Mediterranean are visual generalist predators, and hence feed primarily during the day, when adequate sunlight is available. They feed on teleosts, cephalopods, and crustaceans, with a positive correlation between dolphin size and prey size (Massuti, et al. 1998).
In captivity, dolphin fed a similar diet to that found in the wild (fish, squid, etc.) grow more slowly than those in the wild, but more rapidly than those fed with protein-rich food pellets in captivity (Benetti, 1995).

Males and females are sexually mature in their first year, usually by 4-5 months old. Spawning can occur at body lengths of 20 cm. Females may spawn two to three times per year, and produce between 80,000 and 1,000,000 eggs per event.
In waters above 34° C, larvae are found all year, with greater numbers detected in spring and fall. In one study, seventy percent of the youngest larvae collected in the northern Gulf of Mexico were found at a depth greater than 180 meters. Spawning occurs normally in captivity, with 100,000 eggs per event. Problems maintaining salinity, food of adequate nutritional value and proper size, and dissolved oxygen are responsible for larval mortality rates of 20-40% (Lee, 1997).
Breeding interval: Nutritional levels are likely to determine how frequently females can spawn.
Breeding season: In warm waters, spawning can occur year round.
Range number of offspring: 80,000 to 1,000,000.
Range age at sexual or reproductive maturity (female): 12 (high) months.
Average age at sexual or reproductive maturity (female): 4-5 months.
Range age at sexual or reproductive maturity (male): 12 (high) months.
Average age at sexual or reproductive maturity (male): 4-5 months.
Key Reproductive Features: iteroparous ; year-round breeding ; gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate); sexual ; fertilization (External ); oviparous

In the Eastern Pacific, this species can be locally abundant. Data from the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC 2008) from 1976–2005 widely varies from 200 to 22,000 metric t, with a maximum of 22,000 metric t in 2001. Although there are no data on fishing effort, demand has not decreased. However, there have been many regional fishermen reporting that catches are decreasing, especially in Costa Rica and Ecuador where there are possibly localized declines in catch rates. In Peru, catch of this species is highly fluctuating; there was a catch in 2005–2006 of 2,000 and 4,000 mt by the artisanal fleet, but in 1998 21,000 t were caught after an El Niño event.
There is some evidence of multiple populations based on biological and morphological characteristics (Oxenford and Hunt 1986, Lessa et al. 2008, Duarte-Neto et al. 2008), however there is genetic connectivity between migratory groups in the Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. The Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism (CRFM 2006) stock assessment recognized the uncertainty about stock structure and conducted separate analyses (one that recognizes separate north and southern stocks and one combining both). The conclusion from all of the assessments was that there was no decline in catch per unit effort (CPUE) indices and therefore the fishery appears sustainable at current levels. They did note the uncertainty and the need for more data from other countries within the stock area.
The Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism (CRFM) 2010 stock assessment analysed data from the Caribbean, Venezuela, Brazil and the U.S. that corroborates that this species migrates from northern Brazil to the eastern Caribbean and may also enter the southeastern Caribbean Sea. The standardized CPUE indices for the eastern Caribbean corroborates that the stock is not declining. In Brazil there is evidence of at least two stocks, one in northern Brazil (shared with the Caribbean) and one in the northeastern Brazilian coast (Lessa et al. 2008). Although there is uncertainty in the data, the stock assessment in the northeast indicated that the stock is fully exploited (Lessa et al. 2009).
This species is widespread and is very common in the Mediterranean, and catches are increasing. The average catch from 2000 to 2009 was about 8,000–10,000 t per year (FAO 2009). Off the coast of Turkey it is seasonally common. FAO landing figures are available from Tunisia, Malta and Spain. Most of the current catch figures are from Tunisia and Spain and are currently increasing. Catches from Malta have remained relatively stable since 1950. The distribution of this species is expanding to the northern part of the western Mediterranean. Catches are much higher in late summer and early autumn.
Population Trend
This species is caught in various types of fishing gear, including longlines, purse seine vessels, and recreational fishing vessels (Palko et al. 1982). It is one of the most important species in artisanal fisheries around the world.
In the Mediterranean, this species is caught in association with fish attracting devices (FADS), trolling line and sport fisheries. These attracting devices such as floating bundles of bamboo reeds or cork planks are used to concentrate Dolphinfish before nets are set. The use of FADS are increasing the bycatch of this species (Nelson pers. comm. 2010). Small quantities are taken as bycatch in longline and driftnet fisheries.
The Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism (CRFM) recognizes that the lack of any institutional framework or regional body for collaborative or shared management of this resource is a concern given the increasing catches of this species in the region (CRFM 2006).
Conservation Actions
In Ecuador, there is a minimum catch size of 70 or 80 cm. In Mexico, there are area-closures for commercial fishing for this species, and a two fish sport limit. In the past, there have been conservation measures implemented by the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) for no purse-seine fishing. In Ecuador, 50% of the fishing fleet, including those for tunas, use an experimental sorting grid to release juveniles, small tunas and other bycatch species. In 2005, a recreational fishing limit of five fish per fishermen per fishing day was established for this species in Puerto Rico (Rodrigues-Ferrer et al. 2006).
In the U.S., there are bag limits and size limits in the recreational fishery and size and trip limits in the commercial fishery (SAFMC 2003).
This species' distribution overlaps with a number of marine protected areas.
Relevance to Humans and Ecosystems
C. hippurus is one of the most popular sportfish globally. Because it is prized for its meat as well, it is harvested commercially both in the wild and via aquaculture
(Benetti, 1995).
Dolphin grows rapidly in captivity, with low mortality, which has allowed for hatcheries and farms throughout the world (Morgan, et al. 1996; Lee, 1997).

Teri and Carson planned their horror themed wedding completely by themselves. They also handmade everything from the bride's accessories (including her Slayer garter!) to all the flowers, and the stationery to all the reception décor. The wedding was held at the Orlando Science Center with the ceremony on the rooftop and the reception down with the dinosaurs!
"Our inspiration was horror movies, and other things we both love like Freddy Krueger, Beetlejuice, Jaws, Godzilla and dinosaurs", began the bride. "Our main goal was to make sure that the wedding had us written all over it."
"We choreographed the whole ceremony with lights, fog and music, and each bridal party member walked down to a different song. The groom walked down the aisle alone to Slayer's Raining Blood and I walked in to a string quarter version of Sweet Child of Mine. Our officiant read our vows from the Recently Deceased book from Beetlejuice and our wedding arch, which we also made out of foam, was inspired by Beetlejuice wedding arch. The gargoyle pillars were also homemade."
"We played a video during the ceremony that had a montage of clips of us over the years. It was projected onto the wall of the building behind our arch. We also had a video of bats flying and the moon projected on the building wall before the ceremony."

- Triage Stage changed from Unreviewed to Design decision needed
I've attached two patches that implement detection of the high_mark == low_mark condition and avoid going to the DB with such a query, the second patch could be even slightly more efficient because it shortcuts execution of Query.as_sql() early completely avoiding the setup and generation of the SQL query text.
One thing to review and decide is that isn't clear from the docstrings and comments what Query.as_sql() is supposed to return to signal no SQL query text was generated. The patches currently return an empty string but I don't know now if it should be None.
Tests that exercise this already exist in modeltests/basic and regressiontests/queries.

I didn't know murdering Al Qaeda was illegal. If it is, there are a lot of people who should be tried and convicted.
Of course had the terrorist shot our kid, it would have been perfectly acceptable and the ACLU would have rushed to his defense. There is something radically wrong in this nation. The question is how long the American people will "shrug!"
That is true. The prosecutors are sucking eggs if they withhold exculpatory evidence.
There are many American Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen & Marines, including yours truly, who have "killed" the enemy in war BUT 99.9% never "murdered" anyone. There is a HUGE difference in killing the enemy & murdering the enemy.

Do you know of anyone who is working on this? Merry Pantano's org sounds like it has it's hands full with the Marines.
You're terminology is wrong coloradan, watch it. I don't appreciate the inference.
Vet and combat Infantryman's dad
If the story is accurate, Zimmerman should already be planning an appeal.
Right is wrong, cold is hot, up is down.
Light for darkness, bitter for sweet?
There is a huge difference between "killing" and "murdering".
For example, "killing" was the case when that man saved John F. Kennedy's life. Just as the potential assasin, I forget his name, had Kennedy in the sights of his rifle, the hero burst into the room at the Dallas School Depository and shot the would be assasin dead. As you recall, he received the Congressional Gold Medal for his heroic act.
"Murdering" would have been if our hero had, say, shot the assasin after he killed Kennedy and was already in custody. If that had happened, he would have ended up in prison for murder.
Self defense makes the shooting justifiable.
"He was al Qaeda" or "He assasinated JFK" does not.
If the dead man was al Qaeda, he might have divulged valuable information under interrogation that would have prevented an attack that later took American lives or helped round up other al Qaeda operatives. Dead men, however, don't talk and takes their information to the grave.
It is one of the reasons I hate Bush now. His admistration allowed this crap to go on, and these men have even less chance to get exonerated with Obamanazis in power

They'll tell you black is really white. The moon is just the sun at night.
What the average person/juror doesn't understand is that the American system of justice has been so completely corrupted that in many trials there is way too much that is left unsaid and too many people are wrongly convicted. The prosecution doesn't care about the truth. All they care about is winning. Another notch on their pistola. And there is the prevailing attitude that if a person has been alleged to have committed a crime, then they are guilty.
The problem the defense faces is partly not knowing the right question to ask. Most witnesses are not allowed to soliloquize.
And to somehow think that the military is any more honorable, more aligned to producing the truth, and thereby able to more fairly dispense justice is proving itself to be a fairy tale.
"I'll tell you after" the hanging is such complete bullsh!+.
The situation you have described is called "combat".
Here is the situation described by the prosecutor's charge:
Military prosecutors accused a U.S. soldier Sunday of taking an Iraqi detainee to a remote desert location, stripping him naked, shooting him in the head and chest and then watching as another soldier set fire to the body with an incendiary grenade. .... Prosecutors showed video footage taken by Iraqi police of Mohammed's heavyset, naked body lying on what looked like a large blood stain in the tunnel. His head, neck and shoulders were charred black.
That has described murder, not combat.
History says that the ancient Celts fought naked in combat. This man was not an ancient Celt.
A "you gotta be indicted to be invited" USDB ping.
I sure don't.
The article says, "Military law mandates that murder sentences be automatically reviewed in the Army Court of Appeals in Washington."
But interestingly enough, the article also states Behenna's mom is a noted attorney.
You won't believe this...Look at what a quick search revealed:
No sugar in your coffee this morning ? Veteran & son of a WWII Officer. All of my uncles served in WWII as well.
Did your dad or any of your uncles ever kill a naked ancient Celtic warrior in combat during World War II?
See Post 22.
Military prosecutors accused a U.S. soldier Sunday of taking an Iraqi detainee to a remote desert location, stripping him naked, shooting him in the head and chest and then watching as another soldier set fire to the body with an incendiary grenade. ....

Holy cow!!
Thank you for the clarification. I was wrong and I apologize.
"Breaker Morant, call your office."
Just saw it last week. What a great movie. And a terrible miscarriage of justice.
That poem that was read at the end can be used by the brave Servicemen and women fighting the Muslims today.
Did your dad or any of your uncles ever kill a naked ancient Celtic warrior in combat during World War II?
My uncle (who was a combat engineer) would never talk about the war. But I know he would never buy any Japanese product If you review the history of the war in the Pacific, We are either at war and Al Qaeda is the enemy
because of the Utter Brutality of the "J-ps" on the Pacific islands.
we burned many J-ps in combat in order to protect our troops.
or we are playing tiddlywinks being supervised by the ACLU.

You're absolutely right.
Our troops are being sacrificed by the scumbag politicians to garner favor with our enemies. May hell be full of corrupt, treasonous politicians.
Regards from Germany,
If killing terrorists is wrong, I don't want to be right.
I think it already is and they are sending us the overflow.
Rule # 1 When dealing with a Muslim is don't believe him without good evidence. I don't know which side the Iraqi police were on, so I don't believe the evidence.
I think you are right.
Pains me to say that but many do not have the best interests of the service at heart. Obviously you don't want anyone to disregard the UCMJ or half step, but if the prosecution willfully withheld this information, this is the worst kind of treachery in my opinion.
A big problem, IMO, is there are a large number of people who think appeasement will solve the problem with Islam. Or that somehow "we" are above "murder" when dealing with the problem.
All that idealistic, moralistic sophistry won't save them when they are dragged from their high horses and their freaking heads are hacked off.
Ours is not to wonder why—ours is to get our freaking heads chopped off because we failed to utterly destroy the ability of Islam to destroy us.
If that isn't the answer you are looking for, maybe this one is:
It is chicken****.
The entire story has not been revealed.
This situation does not pass the smell test.
Remember, it is such as this soldier who may be fighting for freedom, liberty, and the USofA in the coming season of 0-vs-WeThePeople.
Don't hurt the Muslims or we will put you in jail
Apparently the forensics expert is saying that the prosecution's description of the incident (which you posted) is backwards. That instead of being shot "in the head and chest," the shooting was done in first in the chest, and then in the head. And that this order of shooting can only be explained by self-defense.
By the same token, you can't have anarchy in the ranks. You don't win wars with anarchy.
"Colonel, we captured Muhamed al Shiitehead."
"Fantaaaastic!!! We can get a goldmine of information out of him!"
"Well, ummm ... No, sir, we can't.
"Why not. They always end up talking.
"Well, ummm .... Not after Lt. Jenkins took it upon himself to put a .45 slug into his brain."
You sound like some panty-waisted liberal from DU.
The Marquis of Queensbury rules are only for two civilized Brits.
The Geneva Rules are only for uniformed enemy military.
I'll bet you want to arrest terrorists.
apology accepted :-)
Well, not really. The term for shooting a man in the head after you shoot him in the chest has been traditionally called a "coup de grace".
Shoot him. Drop him. Finish him.
That goes for hunting too. I have an elk skull I once found with small bullet hole right between the eyes. I can guarantee you that was not the first shot or a shot fired in self defense.
The self defense explanation is possible but not plausible. It just doesn't pass the smell test with a naked man.
A more plausible explanation is that the "naked man" evidence was faked, as Hawk1976 pointed out. However was this claim used as a defense?

Turkey will respond more harshly if attacks continue: Chief of General Staff

This is confusing. Assad said that he apologized for the mortar earlier and that he does not want war with Turkey.
The Syrian military is acting under orders from Assad, so they would not be provoking a war with Turkey.
The Syrian rebels, however, who want to overthrow Assad, would have reason to provoke Turkey in order to have the country invaded and have Assad thrown out.
Yet Turkey is acting as though it is Assad himself who is provoking them and not a few rebels on the border.
I just don't get it....am I even close to being right? Can anybody clear this up?

No, Syria denies apologising to Turkey over cross-border incident
Syria has clarified that it condoled the deaths of innocent civilians in Wednesday's cross-border mortar fire incident but had not apologised to Turkey as it was yet to ascertain the identity of those who had carried out the attack.
Syria's permanent representative to the United Nations Security Council Bashar Al-Jafari told the El-Nashra website on Thursday that the Syrian government had not send any apology letter to the Turkish government.

ok, thanks for clarifying. My question remains...who is shooting the mortars into Turkey? The Syrian military or the rebels...or just a few bored Kurds trying to stir up some shit?

Hi I am a manifesting carrier of DMD. I use a walking stick and a mobility scooter for distances. I am mum to a son of 26 who also has DMD. He was diagnosed first then I was diagnosed 6 months later (that was 20 years ago now). Would love to know if there are any other manifesting carriers out there.

Hi, I was diagnosed after my son (aged 6 at the time and I was 32) so never knew I was manifesting until then. I have thalidomide damage to my feet so all my balance problems and inability to run etc was put down to that. I didn't have a muscle biopsy as my CK levels were so high. I am now 53 and I find I tire more easily and the muscle weakness has worsened somewhat so that I use a mobility scooter for distance. I am also in touch with another manifesting carrier who is her 70's now. She had three sons - one of whom had DMD and the other two were healthy. Still the DMD didn't stop son and I from getting our degrees - we were both at the same university at the same time did wonders for his street cred - not!!

Yes i noticed that most women dont find out there a carrier until they have a son with duchenne. Only reason i got tested was because of my symptoms and high ck levels. I dont have any family history that is known of this either so it seemed quite bizzare to the practioner and i was told it was unlikely it was something genetic by a rheumatolagist and didnt even think it would be. He just said myositis but when i seen a muscle specialist i explained my history and symptoms he done some strength tests and straight away he thought it was either limb girdle muscle dsytrophy or a carrier of duchenne. I am so glad i went back to the specialist on bupa because if it wasnt for him i still may not know what has been wrong with me all this time. Its a relief finally but obviously there is a lot more to come in the future when i want a family. Is there anything that helps you with you symptoms to feel better? im just having some physio due to my weakness. Also had glandular fever a few years back so i guess having this in my genes and that illness has rele made me struggle over the years with feeling poorly all the time and muscle aches.

Unfortunately there is no help whatsoever for manifesting carriers of DMD here in Scotland (and precious little for our sons either). Neither of us get physiotherapy as the Health service will provide it for a broken leg but not for people who need ongoing physio. Basically its put up with and get on with it Im afraid

Daughter (7) just been diagnosed
hi there - my daughter (7) has just been diagnosed as a manifestering carrier of duchenne muscular dystropy. I knew that there was something wrong with her only to be treat like a neurotic mother by the school she is at despite her doing poorly at school. I was lucky that my doctor took my concerns seriously and sent her to a paediatrician who did some CK tests. Se was off the scale. I was told that for her age she should have been somewhere in the 200's. however her first results came in at 3700 and second test 2700!!!! She doesn't show too much in the way of muscle weakness at the moment - it is coming out more in her learning. I am currently waiting to be tested as a carrier although I have never shown any symptoms whatsoever. I am worried for my daughters future as I don't know where this illness will take her/affect her. I thought I would post on here as it seems hard to find people who are manifestering carriers and want other people to know that they are not alone. We live in East Yorkshire in the UK x

Hi Shaws! wowe to find out at that age for a girl is rare! i suppose these days people are more aware of these things "sort of" when i was used i had learning difficulties with reading mainly and had a terrible stutter. luckily i grown out of it but from a young age i always noticed i had large calfs compared to everyone even the boys but i then blamed that on the sport i done although thinking of it now they have never been strong just large. I had a pretty much normal life till i was 16 and thats when i started to notice id get tired easily and get cramping really bad after little exercise and muscles would twitch loads in class room but i always thought it was normal. well few more years on i lost a lot of weight and my biceps have never been the same with muscle and i noticed that my arms were really weak considering i was physically active but that when started to get worse and when i had glandular fever age of 22 i noticed other joint problems and tiredness and muscle weakness was noticeable. I started feeling ill like all the time and anything little i seemed to get really ill with. Well i had enough, done a bit of research and a muscle specialist done a load of tests.. well i got my dna results back about 4 months ago which confirmed that i was defo a manifesting carrier of duchenne. I think women get it differenly but I do wish the problems i had growing up that i could of had someone to talk to and understand me. But getting these results now woowweeee im sooo glad! its made me realise that nothing ever was in my head when people would talk down to you and question y im always getting ill or tired.. well we now know! and its certainly helped me mentally to deal with it and get on without wondering whats wrong with me?? im here if you need to talk! i live west midlands x

I know this forum hasn't been active for a while but I figured I would still try and reach out and see if anyone responds. I found out I am carrier of DMD when I got tested at age 18, though my mom (who also was a carrier for DMD and have several brothers with it) knew from an early age I had it because I would have intense muscle aches and cramps growing up. I never knew why but it all made sense when she told me, she didn't want me to worry about it growing up. Throughout my life I occasionally still got these muscle aches and cramps though they seemed the most intense during childhood they appear to be coming back more frequently now (I am 26). I am contacting you guys because I am curious how you went about getting tested for being a manifesting carrier. I know I am a carrier but it was never tested if I was a manifesting carrier or not. Could I just go to my regular physician and ask to get my CK levels tested or do I have to go to a genetic counselor? I live in a somewhat rural area so finding a hospital that does genetic testing might be tough but I would be willing to travel if that's my only option.
Either way, thank you for your advice. I have never really connected with any other carriers and it was really powerful reading all your stories and experiences. I wish I had more of a conversation about what it means to be a carrier with my beautiful and amazing mom but she passed away a couple years ago and I haven't really been able to find others in my situation since.

Hi there
Just came across this page today - is really interesting to read about peoples experiences. Skyeager - I am assuming you are based in the US from my experiences in the UK I would suggest seeing a genetic counselor as they will be more familiar with the condition. However, if you have to travel may be worth speaking to your physician and going from there. I have known that I have been a carrier since I was 12 (32 now) noone in my family has ever had duchenne had a biopsy but was never officaly told I was a manifesting carrier. I became aware that I was a manifesting carrier about 5 yrs ago from doing a little bit of reaserch - finally have a letter diagnosing me so no more questions from GPs and trying to convince me that there is something wrong with my liver and that I need unecessary tests.

Hi there, my wife has been recently diagnosed as a Manifesting Carrier of DMD, we are from Brazil.
My wife is now 33, there is no history of any kind of muscular disease in her Family, and she even has a health brother over 40. We did not even know about this kind of disease before.
She started to feel some asymmetrical weakness in her left leg I think 5 to 6 years ago. The final diagnostic was a long journey. Here in Brazil few orthopedics doctors guessed many different causes. Until one physiotherapist asked her to go see a neurologist. Even then, we have to go past three doctors to find one that finally asked for a CPK exam, and followed with an Electromyography (EMG). The EMG pointed to a girdle-wait dystrophy or metabolic disease. After that, she went to a new specialist linked to a University here, to do a biopsy. This exam pointed towards an inflammatory disease (Polymyositis). Another error, it was almost 2 years ago.
At the time, she started with daily sessions of physiotherapy to try to regain or at least retain her strength. The process was long and arduous, but it finally started to show some success starting a year ago. However, all her physiotherapists were somewhat incredulous of the Polymyositis diagnosis. She did not have any of the usual pain associated with this kind of disease. Later her doctor seeing her progression, lack of pain, and a good clinical response to supplements like L-Carnitine and Q10, changed the diagnosis to Metabolic Disease.
We wanted to be sure about the diagnosis before starting our own family. So went to search for a genetic specialist/center about it in another University (Project GENOMA at USP). We paid for the exam and after the waiting period came the diagnostic: DMD carrier, manifesting one.
The doctor and physiotherapists think she has a very mild version, because she has been able to regain some strength (she is already going up the stairs alone, a few steps at once only, but progress nonetheless) and that she might be able to regain almost all her strength for now.
They said it's hard to predict how the disease is going to progress, because no one really knows deeply how the cell "choose" which X chromosome will control the protein production. There has been reports of patients that had minor or major strength loss. Reports of patients that lost some strength and stabilized there. Other cases the patients loses and gains strength without some specific cause.
The only thing that they are sure is that of the chances to pass the bad gene to the children, and that is very common for manifesting carriers of DMD to lose strength considerably during the pregnancy and not regain after.
We found out researches were some patients also had the liver function exams affected, but with no real liver damage or problem. There is the possibility of cardiac problems (but nowadays, everyone is at risk without a good died and regular physical exercises, so, no stress on this point).
Well. She will keep the physiotherapy sessions twice a week now. With Pilates sessions another two days in the week. So, besides that, all that we can do is to let more people know about it (so with luck, their diagnosis time can be a lot shorter), pray, and hope for the better.
Our best wishes for you all.

Hello FantasticMrsFox!
Your profile name is great, very cute . Thank you so much for your response to my post, I honestly thought it would likely go unanswered and collect dust deep in the archives. Thank you for the suggestion to go see a genetic counselor. Until recently I assumed most doctors are knowledgeable of the disease but I am realizing it might be worth to make the trip the see a DMD specialist. It's funny you mention the liver tests. This past month I have been called back for several tests because of my liver levels. If you don't mind me asking, what did the process entail that confirmed you were a manifesting carrier?
Thank you again for your help and advice in advance, it means a lot to me to hear someone else's story, I have had a difficult time connecting with people thus far so I really appreciate it.

Hi everyone, I just found this forum and I'm interested in other women's experiences as a manifesting carrier of DMD. I have had problems with my legs since about 12 years of age, but unfortunately I was never diagnosed. I found out I was a carrier the hard way - when my son was diagnosed with DMD earlier this year. I had an achilles operation at 15, and was told my leg issues were "probably caused by a mild cerebal palsy" - unfortunately there was no further investigation, so I was never diagnosed until now. I have trouble getting upstairs, getting off the floor (gowers manoeuvre) etc. I am now 36, but I my symptoms have never got any worse than they were as a teenager - just wanting to know if anyones symptoms have gotten worse as they got older?

By By Staff Sgt. Jason Epperson/2d Engineer Public Affairs OfficeOctober 13, 2011
JOINT BASE ELMENDORF-RICHARDSON, Alaska -- The sun hadn't risen yet from behind the Alaskan mountains on that crisp October morning.
Weapons were drawn and the troops assembled into a formation outside.
Sgt. David Grosshuesch of the 793rd Military Police Battalion called the group to attention, directed a "right face" then "forward march" and the platoon sized element began a forced road march wearing full-battle rattle. This would seem like a typical morning for a group of Soldiers, but these were Soldiers' spouses.
The 793rd Military Police Battalion held a spouse's day, called the "The Spartan Spouses Challenge" Oct. 6 at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson. The events included a road march, weapons familiarization training, vehicle roll-over drills, a simulated range, a ride in the back of a Light Medium Tactical Vehicle, or LMTV, and an obstacle course with a dozen challenges.
"The intent is to bring the spouses of our Soldiers in here, male or female, to understand what their Soldier, husband or wife does on a daily basis," Col. Steve Gabavics, commander of the 793rd MP Battalion, said. "To get to see some of the events that we participate in, to learn a little about the weapons we use, to have some fun more than anything else and get to know each other."
"One of the opportunities in having the spouses here is that I think it coalesces the unit a little bit better, because now you get to have that entire integrity of a family beyond what you would normally have with just the Soldier being involved with battalion," he said.
The spouses jumped right into the action. They got to see and experience firsthand what their Soldiers do at work. Some of the spouses found the events challenging as well.
"The most challenging thing we did today was the obstacle course," said Ruth Banks, whose husband is a captain in the 793rd MP. "It was really hard to get across, but a lot of Soldiers helped me out, so that was great. I think the whole day was challenging and I learned a lot about what my husband does at work. The rollover was very interesting and very difficult to get out of."
Some spouses compared the challenge to a kind of G.I. Jane experience.
"Live the life in your husband's shoes or boots for the day," Nicole Grosshuesch said. "The fun things we get to do is wear the ruck, getting to do roll-over drills and the obstacle course. A lot of different things we don't get to see our husbands getting to do."

Even if you are moving in familiar terrain and there are already tracks you still need to evaluate the terrain and conditions for yourself. Sometimes you feel too secure riding at your home resort because you've ridden these lines so many times and every time it went well. However, every season is different, and every day is different.

The Hinode X-Ray Telescope (XRT) is a high-resolution grazing-incidence telescope, which is a successor to the highly successful Yohkoh Soft X-Ray Telescope (SXT). A primary purpose of the Hinode XRT is to observe the generation, transport, and emergence of solar magnetic fields, as well as the ultimate dissipation of magnetic energy in forms such as flares and pico-flares, coronal heating, and coronal mass ejections. The XRT aboard Hinode observes the dissipation part of the life-cycle story of solar magnetic fields. High-resolution soft X-ray images reveal magnetic field configuration and its evolution, allowing us to observe the energy buildup, storage and release process in the corona for any transient event. One of the unique features of XRT is its wide temperature coverage to see all the coronal features that are not seen with any normal incidence telescope.
The XRT consists of the X-ray and visible light optics, focal plane mechanisms (filters and shutter), and the 2k x 2k CCD camera. The Mission Data Processor (MDP) also plays a vital role for XRT.
The XRT was designed and developed by the Japan-US collaboration between Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO), NASA MSFC, JAXA, and NAOJ. The XRT telescope was tested and calibrated at the XRCF at MSFC, and the CCD camera was tested and calibrated in X-rays at the ATC of the NAOJ with JAXA.
If XRT data is used in a published article or report, please give a proper Acknowledgement:
"Hinode is a Japanese mission developed and launched by ISAS/JAXA, with NAOJ as domestic partner and NASA and STFC (UK) as international partners. It is operated by these agencies in co-operation with ESA and the NSC (Norway)."
