Drug Dilemma: Substance abuse is a battle state must fight
February 11, 2013
In deciding not to follow recommendations he raise taxes or dip into West Virginia's "rainy day" fund to fight drug abuse, Gov....
"You seem to think that drugs open and available in out society will only harm those that actual take them. Sir, you are terribly naive if you think that."
Your assumption is wrong, I know that others will be harmed. Your comments play right into the gun control advocates case. And believe me when I say, "I am far from naive".

So sick and tired of paying the freight for these losers. Treat you once, if you come back, you pay for it or you don't get treated. Tie them to trees and let them go cold turkey. Premiums for health care are high due to the 1 fact that you are paying for abuse treatment. There is no one around who does not know that drug usuage leads to addiction. ****** on the rise because morons readily use it because their high is not high enough from other things. Hospitals are making millions on treatment programs that don't work because the junkies want to get high.

There are weak among us. Sometimes its your own blood. I can play tough love too but you dont leave dope on your kitchen table so that you can say "I a so strong willed I wont touch it".
Yes we are all weak and I don't necessarily believe in "Tough Love". I certainly would feel for and HELP any family member,friend or ANYONE person who is in need. My point is that making it legal does nothing to change the desire for drug,but it would stop someone from being arrested,incarcerated and put on trial for popping a pill or having a puff. Again if someones abuse harms others, then you have to face the music.

"I see no difference between alcohol and drugs"
Maj, I am aware of the damage that drugs do. I will ask you this,we have laws now and the damage is still being done. My point is that the morons that abuse drugs and cause others harm need to be held accountable and if they harm themselves they bear that responsibility themselves. I know you believe in gun rights,well, drug rights are no different. You cannot protect people from themselves.

I have zero problem with making all drugs legal, I see no difference between alcohol and drugs. However I am not willing to pay ONE CENT to help the morons when they get into trouble with crime and health issues. If I have family or friends who get into trouble it will be up to me to help them. If the morons hurt others with their behavior then they NEED to pay the price.

Summerville, South Carolina (February 20, 2013) – – Only about two weeks remain until the celebrity dancers get to strut their stuff at Dancing with The ARK's Stars on March 9. All eight couples are busy practicing their routines, and finalizing their fundraising. Last year, The ARK raised $29,000. With the help of this year's celebrity dancers, the nonprofit hopes to raise at least $40,000.
Dorchester County Probate Judge Mary Blunt and her husband, Sam Blunt, are repeating as Mirror Ball Sponsor for the third installment of The ARK's popular fundraiser. Judge Blunt's mother, Dr. Lidia Vallarino, has Alzheimer's and is a visiting member of The ARK.
This year's dancers are: Mildred Blanton, Con Chellis, Cammy Groome, Margie Pizarro, Ellen Priest, Bill Summers, Jordy Tupper, and Richard Waring IV. Judges for the 2013 event are Elizabeth Hight and Dr. Bob Randall, both 2012 winners, and professional dancer Amanda West. Steve Mandell, head of school at Pinewood Preparatory School, will serve as Master of Ceremonies.
General admission tickets for the event are $50 per person in advance or $60 at the door. Tickets will be on sale February 1. Tickets will be available online, at the door and by calling the ARK. Advance tickets can be purchased online at www.TheARKofSC.org. The ticket price includes the heavy hors d'oeuvres, open bar, a silent auction, and ballroom dance demonstrations by Carolina Dancesport Dance Studios, plus opportunities to enjoy the dance floor.
Limited sponsorship opportunities remain. Some include complementary admission to the event and other promotional benefits. For more information on Dancing with The ARK's Stars, please contact The ARK or visit the website.
The ARK is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization serving the Tri-County area, Colleton and Orangeburg Counties and beyond. An outreach ministry of St. Luke's Lutheran Church, The ARK provided 6,600 hours of respite and hosted over 200 individuals in support groups in 2012. 75% of ARK participants attend on scholarships. Currently, in South Carolina, approximately 80,000 people have Alzheimer's disease; however, experts predict dementia cases will climb to

"People think I lost weight and that's what made me happier. That's not true: I had to learn to love myself first," Osbourne tells Cosmopolitan Body, a spinoff of British Cosmopolitan magazine, in its latest issue, available Dec. 27.
"Losing weight was just one benefit of putting the hard work in and sorting myself out on the inside first through therapy," Osbourne, 28, says of her personal transformation, which involved losing more than 60 pounds. "That was one of the scariest times of my life. I swear I've never felt more naked, because I had to actually be me and couldn't mask it."
Nicky Johnston / Courtesy of Cosmopolitan Body
Happily in love with boyfriend Matthew Mosshart – and now comfortable wearing a bikini – the lavender-haired Osbourne, co-host of E!'s Fashion Police, says there's no simple trick to losing weight. She's just careful about her food – enjoying pizza and chocolate cake in moderation. But she also exercises every day, something she says has become addictive in a good way.
"When I started exercising I couldn't even do one sit-up," Osbourne said. "By the end of the first week I could do three, and that was a big deal. Now I work out every day and I just don't feel good if I miss it. It's amazing how quickly your fitness builds, but you have to really want it."
Her Cinderella moment came at last year's Emmy Awards when she zipped up easily into a Zac Posen couture dress the designer shipped specifically to her.
"I'll never be the kind of person who thinks, 'I'm so hot.' I don't want to be," she said.
"But I learned to respect and love myself – something I didn't think I would ever be capable of," continued Osbourne. "I put on my dress, and when I looked at myself in the mirror I cried. Never in my life did I think that Zac Posen would fly in a dress for me that he could have given to any nominee. It fit me perfectly!"

As Toll Rises, Europe Warns Bangladesh
DHAKA, Bangladesh—The death toll from the April 24 collapse of a building housing garment factories rose to 622 on Sunday, after bulldozers reached the ground floors, uncovering many badly decomposed bodies 11 days after the tragedy.
Separately, a large rally called by an Islamist pressure group descended into chaos in Dhaka on Sunday, further clouding the outlook for Bangladeshi garment exporters, which say they have been badly hurt by weeks of political unrest. Police confirmed that at least three people died Sunday, after police and ruling-party activists confronted Islamists in the city center. Police said they had to open fire to maintain law and order.
Meanwhile, Europe's top trade official criticized labor conditions for some in Bangladesh as "modern slavery" and warned that the European Union would consider suspending Bangladesh's duty-free access to its market if steps aren't taken soon.
The Bangladesh Factory Collapse
"Now we see that…these people are, well, we can't say underpaid, they are virtually unpaid and above all, they have to work in sanitary and security conditions that are totally unacceptable," EU Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht told Belgian media outlets RTBF and Le Soir over the weekend. "It's some kind of modern slavery."
Mr. De Gucht said he would meet in coming weeks with European and U.S. clients of Bangladeshi factories to develop "a code of conduct" on ties to suppliers. "They can't say that they are blind" to what is happening, he said.
Mr. De Gucht said if Bangladeshi authorities fail to take quick action to improve labor standards, he would consider suspending Bangladesh's access to an EU system that allows poorer countries to export everything except arms free of quotas or import duties.
"They must deal with this and do so in a very clear and immediate timetable," he said. "If not, I am ready to launch an inquiry…which could lead to the suspension of this 'all except arms' mechanism as we've done in the past with Myanmar and Sri Lanka."
In Savar, relatives of those missing in the collapse of the Rana Plaza building continued to hold a vigil at the site on Sunday, clutching photos of their loved ones. But army officers coordinating the rescue said the decomposition of the bodies is making identification difficult. They said grieving families may have to wait for DNA tests to take possession of the remains of their family members.
Since the April 24 collapse, Bangladesh's worst industrial accident, police have arrested Sohel Rana, the building's owner, and the owners of the five garment factories housed in the building. No one has been charged with a crime. The men and their lawyers couldn't be reached for comment. The mayor of the local council, who allegedly issued the building permit without mandatory safety clearance, has been suspended.
Police also have detained two engineers of the Savar municipality, who police and state prosecutors said were involved in issuing permits for the Rana Plaza building. They haven't been charged. Instead of going to a central building-safety agency, the owner of the building is alleged to have illegally obtained clearance from the Savar council, according to police and state prosecutors. The men and their lawyers couldn't be reached to comment.
Workers and labor-rights groups have long called for better regulation of working conditions in Bangladesh's garment industry, the world's biggest after China. The issue escalated last year when a Bangladeshi factory, Tazreen Fashions, burned down in late November, killing more than 100 people, in what before the Rana Plaza collapse was the country's worst industrial accident.

William, 31, is the hospital's president, a position once held by his mother Princess Diana. Fashion designer Ralph Lauren announced at the event he is funding an entire new breast research facility at the hospital.
While Helena Bonham Carter, Cate Blanchett, Benedict Cumberbatch and Kate Moss were among the gala's guests, another star was not. William's wife Kate, 32, was busy looking after Prince George, 9 months.
When William was introduced to Lauren in the castle's Grand Reception Room, he apologized for Kate's not being there.
"I'm sorry my wife's not here," he said. "You probably would far rather [see] my wife."
"Not at all," the designer replied.
Lauren, 74, and his wife Ricky headed over from the United States for the launch of the Ralph Lauren Breast Cancer Centre. Lauren, who had a benign brain tumor removed 25 years ago, has donated millions to cancer research around the world over the past 20 years.
"I am enormously grateful to Ralph Lauren for his generosity and to all of you who so kindly support the hospital," William said during his speech. "You should know that what you do saves lives and gives hope to thousands of people."
William became president of the hospital in 2007. Last November, he watched some surgical procedures in one of its operating theaters.
He also supports the work of the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, a member of the Charities Forum of which the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry are patrons.

A Disney Channel spokesperson has issued the following clarification:
Please allow me to clarify that Disney Channel is not affiliated with "THE Events," "THE Acting Workshop" or any acting school or acting workshop, and has not authorized talent searches or casting through "THE Events" in any city. Employees and representatives from Disney Channel are not authorized to participate in advance fee talent searches, schools or workshops that evaluate actors on behalf of Disney.
Disney protects its name, copyright and intellectual properties vigorously and takes reports of suspected misuse of the Disney name seriously. However, investigations are confidential.
Parents are encouraged to check our website -- www.disneychannel.com/opencall. If an audition/casting call is not listed there, it is not authorized by Disney.
MARTINSBURG - The video on YouTube is clearly an amateur production. From the distance of a seat in the audience, someone has recorded Sabrina Harrison onstage, dancing to Earth, Wind & Fire's "Boogie Wonderland." Her costume is elaborate, with furred leggings and a pink wig. Atmospheric smoke wafts across the stage. Harrison leaps and does cartwheels, in a simple choreography that nevertheless provides a solo showcase for the Martinsburg 8-year-old.
That was three years ago. Today, Harrison is looking beyond amateur productions, and taking her family with her.
Responding to an advertisement that dangles Disney Channel names as incentives, Harrison persuaded her mother to take her to Baltimore a few weeks ago for a mass audition at the Hyatt Regency hotel. "There were a lot of people," said Abby Harrison, Sabrina's mother.
Organizers said 40 children would be selected from a group of about 800, after they read an audition script before a camera. Those who passed, Abby Harrison was told, would be invited to attend The Event, advertised as a showcase in Florida in association with the Disney Channel that is attended by professional talent scouts.
One day after the audition, the Harrisons' phone rang with the invitation. Come back to Baltimore, they were asked, and bring money to enroll Sabrina in the Florida audition.
"If you are serious about your son or daughter, money has to be paid," Abby Harrison said.
She added she has been skeptical of the program, which nationwide has attracted negative media attention as parents have claimed it is little more than a scam. In fact, the organizers are not affiliated with Disney at all. And while the commercial to audition invites kids to imagine working with "superstars like Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber," those actors have no connection to the competition or its results.
The Event has used hotels in cities across America to find families willing to fund their children's dreams. Abby Harrison has already put $2,900 on her credit card to pay for admission to The Event, and she hasn't added airfare or hotel fees yet. The family plans to go next March.
Organizers for the event are nearly impossible to get on the telephone, and through email, refer to the website, theorlandoevents.com. On it, a link brings up testimonials claiming that movie and television roles and talent management contracts resulted from kids' exposure at The Event.
The Event staggers its fees depending on how much exposure a parent wants to buy. The Harrisons have purchased auditions only for television commercials. It costs more if you want your child seen as a dancer or actor. Ten auditions costs nearly $8,000.
Abby Harrison said she has done some checking to make sure The Event is a good opportunity for Sabrina to show her skills. She called the Swan and Dolphin Resort at Walt Disney World and discovered it has hosted The Event for seven years. However, the resort is not a Disney property.
Additionally, the Harrisons have received preparatory materials for Sabrina from The Event, including monologues for her to learn. And, Abby Harrison has received return phone calls and emails from the company every time she's had a question, she said.
On its Facebook page, The Event says it "hosts family-friendly events that combine professional opportunity with vacation fun and excitement at world class resorts."
The description says, "The action-packed week brings dozens of today's top agents, managers, casting directors and record labels from across the U.S., looking to discover the next star."
Additionally, The Event stages "category-specific talent showcases in which the participants will perform a variety of scenes, monologues, songs, commercials and/or modeling techniques for agents, managers and casting directors," the site says.
Harrison says she is putting her skepticism aside to allow her daughter this opportunity. "I'm hoping that this isn't something bad," she said.
"You never know what's real and what's not real these days."
Whatever the outcome, The Event will certainly provide experience for Sabrina that she would not acquire at home. And perhaps it will be a stepping stone to more. "If it's gonna be, it will," Abby Harrison said. "And if it's not, she tried it."

ROYALTON – A fire in a tractor engine is being blamed for a fire thar destroyed a barn and damaged nearly $24,000 worth of equipment late Sunday.
Middleport Fire Company responded to the fire at 9424 Mountain Road just after 11 p.m. Sunday for a fire in an unattached barn. Crews were able to quickly extinguish the fire, but not before it damaged the building's roof and structural beams.
Heavy smoke and fire damaged a 2000 Honda 4x4, a Cub Cadet lawn mower and a Cub Cadet diesel tractor, and a Kubota Rough Terrain Vehicle. Damage to the barn was listed at $20,000 and damage to the vehicles was listed at $23,900, according to Niagara County sheriff's deputies.
Homeowner Ronda Schul told deputies she was alerted to the blaze by her mother, Donna Frey who lives nearby. She told investigators that she had used the tractor and mower earlier that evening and returned them to the barn at 6 p.m.. She said she had trouble starting the early 1990s-era diesel tractor lately.
Investigators searched through the fire scene and determined that the fire was an electrical issue inside the diesel tractor, deputies reported.

Day 37.
--2 pounds sliced tri-tip or fajia meat
I feel like meat should be brown. It gave a nice flavor, but might be even tastier with more added.
Bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes, or until cheese is nice and melty.
Adam and I chose pepper jack for our cheese and the kids chose cheddar -- I think traditionally you are supposed to use provalone.
Since we're gluten free, I made our own rolls using a bread mix from Whole Foods. The bread was delicious--I'd definitely recommend it to those with gluten allergies.
updated 2/2016 : this variety of bread mix is no longer available. That said, there are MANY MORE OPTIONS in the gluten free universe now than there were in 2008. I can find gluten free hoagie or ciabotta buns in the freezer section of many grocery stores.

"munching" formally known as "mingling" is when girls act sexy in front of you to get attention. Their motive is to make others feel jealous and to get you to spend more money on them. It's typically seen at bars and is annoying as fuck. These girls offer nothing to society and will only have sex with you once they have you under their fucking finger. Stay away from girls who are munching.

A Utah school district has cancelled a high school play that uses Elvis Presley's music after a complaint about a sexually suggestive song.
Jordan School District officials announced plans Wednesday to scrap Herriman High School's production of "All Shook Up," saying it could be offensive.
It was not immediately clear which song prompted the decision.
District spokeswoman Sandy Riesgraf says a person approached the district before Christmas break and complained about the play, which is loosely based on William Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night."
Riesgraf says district administrators reviewed the script over the break and determined it didn't meet new standards put in place over the summer after another high school play came under scrutiny.
The Deseret News reports students had already started rehearsing the play, which was scheduled for February. Riesgraf says a replacement play will be selected.

John Dudley: Steelers' focus is forward as camp opens
LATROBE -- Around lunchtime Sunday, as members of the Pittsburgh Steelers were filing out of the cafeteria at Saint Vincent College to get ready for afternoon practice, a call came over a staff member's radio that someone had encountered bees in one of the dorms.
Another staffer was dispatched and, presumably, the bees were dispatched.
That's as close as anyone here has gotten to hitting the panic button as the Steelers open camp on the heels of an 8-8, non-playoff season in 2012.
From head coach Mike Tomlin to veterans like quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and linebacker Lawrence Timmons, there is little interest in discussing what went wrong last season and plenty of quiet optimism despite the loss of starters Mike Wallace and James Harrison.
It remains to be seen whether the Steelers are in denial over what some outsiders have said is the start of a decline owing to age and attrition or simply on the rebound from a down year undone by injuries and underperformance.
We'll begin to get answers on Sept. 8, when the Tennessee Titans visit Heinz Field with a beefed-up defense and game-breaking running back Chris Johnson.
Until then, the clues will come from how the Steelers go about their business over the next five weeks and how some key training battles play out at running back and linebacker.
"The things that we can control are our attitudes, level of readiness and overall condition," Tomlin said. "I will talk a lot about what we are doing here in camp and the development of our team, but I won't do it in reference to what occurred a year ago. It doesn't matter if we were 8-8 or if we won the Super Bowl, it's really irrelevant."
What is relevant is the health of a team that struggled for consistency in 2012, in large part because Roethlisberger dealt with a balky knee for the second straight season and a string of starters missed significant time, including guard David DeCastro, safety Troy Polamalu, running back Rashard Mendenhall and linebacker LaMarr Woodley.
Mendenhall is gone, but the rest are healthy. Roethlisberger says he feels better than he has since the 2010 season and changed up his workout regimen in the offseason in hopes of staying that way.
He also intends to take a more prominent role with so many veteran players having left over the past few years.
"I'm trying to take over," he said. "Instead of just being an offensive leader, trying to be a leader of the team."
After getting swept off the field by a thunderstorm in their first practice Saturday afternoon, the Steelers worked out Sunday under brilliant sunshine before a big crowd that lounged in the bleachers and perched in chairs high on the hills above their practice fields.
The fans, some decked out in brand-new gear from the merchandise tent nearby, talked about a fresh start and, perhaps, an unfamiliar underdog role for a franchise accustomed to wearing the favorite's label.
"Right now we're keeping it simple," Timmons said. "We're developing a foundation now while getting to know the younger guys."
And, almost to a man, they're wearing blinders, said wide receiver Antonio Brown, who will be expected to take a more prominent role in the offense with Wallace's absence.
"We don't dwell on last year," Brown said. "We're here to focus on now and the season this year."

Product DescriptionThe Citori 725 is the evolution of John M. Browning's legendary B25 Superposed, now with the modern performance advantage of a low-profile receiver. The new 725 receiver is significantly lower than other Citori 12 gauge receivers, yet the 725 shares the renowned durability of generations of Citori over-and-unders with the same rugged full-width hinge pin and tapered locking bolt design. With a 725, you get the "one with the gun" feeling you want, with the long-lasting durability you expect from a Browning over-and-under. The features don't stop there-the 725 showcases the all-new FireLite mechanical trigger that offers unmatched feel and lighter pull weights than ever before. Inflex Technology has also been added to make shooting more comfortable and the new Invector-DS choke system moves to a new level of performance. A set of three Invector-DS choke tubes are included.

City has abandoned, forgotten East Side
The reason why the Central Terminal does not get financial assistance is because it is on the East Side of Buffalo. This area was thrown in the garbage many years ago and the excuse that this building is in a bad neighborhood only confirms my thought that the East Side is a forgotten part of the city.
This was my favorite building until our Iron Island Society was presented with an 1885 former church/funeral home in 2000 on the far East Side. Up until that time and beyond, I started a one-woman committee to "Save The Central Terminal" by collecting petitions, making up T-shirts and forming an awareness committee. Several others joined me and worked for 10 years to bring attention to the terminal.
We were thrilled when then-Sen. Daniel P. Moynihan brought in a $1 million grant for the terminal, only to find out that half of it went to Shea's theater. Shea's certainly is a good cause; however, the East Side was left in the dust and it is still deteriorating with the loss of parkland and police precincts, absentee landlords and devastated business strips.
The Iron Island Museum gets no help from the city and continues to fight an uphill battle to stay open. We have a room dedicated to the Central Terminal and try to keep attention on the edifice, but we are on the East Side and not many people care about our neighborhoods. People here love their homes, as witnessed by the many beautiful Christmas decorations lighting up the streets. But the East Side has been given a bad reputation and monies will not be forthcoming until the image changes.

Maybe I should stop going by the ratings on a movie. I have watched a dozen that had awesome reviews and ratings. I was soooo excited to see these movies but was so bummed when I watched them andĀthought the movie sucked. Here are mine-
Bridemades- I just got done watching it. Well, half of it. I turned it off. The only part I thought was funny was the food poision scene.
ZooKeeper- I thought it was suppose to be about the animals but it was more about the guy getting the girl. ugh I was so excited to see it. But bummed it wasnt what I thought. Glad I didnt buy it.
Hall Pass- Some funny parts but not as funny as people were saying.
Fast Five or any of those stupid Fast and the Furious movies

After a second vote, the Holland School Board agreed to relocate the polling place for the annual district vote from the high school to the former middle school cafeteria, although the move may be a temporary one.
The change, approved, 5-2, at a special meeting of the board Monday night, originally was proposed by board member Kelleen Kensey last week, only to be struck down, also by a 5-2 vote, as other members expressed concern about the middle school location.
Board member Judy Geer proposed using the Community Center, where municipal votes are held, but the board learned the building is already rented for May 21, the date of the budget vote.
Additionally, Geer expressed concern about safety issues if the vote is moved to the middle school. She said individuals often hand out leaflets at the polling location but are not allowed within a certain distance of the entranceway. She feared it would leave people standing on or near Route 16 and asked for a police presence if the board approved the move to the middle school location.
Board President Steven Marom said the district could not make that stipulation part of the motion. Ronda Strauss said moving the vote to the former middle school building would benefit residents because it would provide ample parking and better handicapped access. Also, the office of District Clerk Linda Poplewski, who tallies the votes, is located there.
Lawrence Krzeminski disagreed with the proposed move, calling it disruptive to the community because plans to close the middle school are under way and it was unlikely the vote would be held at that location the following year.
Taina Armstrong-Hoffman agreed with him. "I don't think we should bounce back and forth," she said. Kensey said she favored moving the vote to the former middle school because students are no longer housed there and it offered the least amount of disruption and the safest option for them.
Previously, the annual budget vote has been held in the foyer of the high school on Canada Street.

It's hard to keep track with so many new defensive backs in New Orleans, but Saints Coach Sean Payton just laid out the early plan:
First-round pick Malcolm Jenkins will start out at cornerback, fourth-round pick Chip Vaughn will start out at free safety, and third-year veteran Usama Young will be moved to free safety.
So the depth chart now looks like this, with a lot of wiggle room in the pecking order:
CB - Tracy Porter, Jabari Greer, Randall Gay, Malcolm Jenkins, Leigh Torrence, Jason David
FS - Darren Sharper, Pierson Prioleau, Chip Vaughn, Usama Young
SS - Roman Harper, Chris Reis
Wow. That's drastically different from a year ago. That unit has undergone quite a makeover. Throw in new defensive coordinator Gregg Williams and second-year secondary coach Dennis Allen, and you can see that the Saints have placed a huge emphasis on shoring up their biggest weakness.
Among other topics Payton just addressed:
Fellow fourth-round pick Stanley Arnoux will start out at weakside linebacker in New Orleans, with the versatility to move inside if necessary.
He said no one on the Saints' staff had real close personal ties to Wake Forest, but he said it's an impressive up-and-coming program that was special to watch on tape, especially on defense.
He said the Saints didn't strongly consider trading up into Round 3, and they weren't tempted to target a running back. He said these two guys were graded higher than any tailbacks on the draft board. At this stage of the draft, Payton said, you're looking for the best available player -- like a Carl Nicks last year.
"I've mentioned before, we'd like a big back. But I don't want to try to manufacture a pick. That's where you get yourself in trouble," Payton said.

- I'm Christina. J is Josh. We've been married for almost 3 years. Here's a pic on our wedding day (heehee):
- Like I said, we've been married for almost 3 years (Sept.). That's great, but what's not so great is that we've been TTC for essentially every minute of those (almost) 3 years. Suck.
- I have PCOS. We've done hundreds (okay, maybe not quite, but it seemed like it) of rounds of Clomid, 5 IUIs, 2 HSGs, 1 Hysteroscopy & Lap Surgery, 2 rounds with Femara, 3 Injectables Cycles, Acupuncture/Chinese Medicine, and, well...anything else you can possibly imagine. BUT!!!
- We fired our RE earlier this year. We went to a new guy (the #1 IVF doc in the state!) last month who pretty much said that everything old RE was doing was a huge waste of time. (Fabulous!) So he suggested 3 months of a very strict, low amylose diet (which I have written about here and here if you're interested), along with Glumetz.a. This will do 2 things. First, it will regulate my hormones and he believes that every patient with PCOS has some level of insulin resistance, so it will help with that, too. Second, it will help me to lose weight which is VERY difficult for me to do! In the first 3 weeks, I had lost 11 pounds and now about a month and a half in, I'm at 15 lbs. lost. (Note: I have been cheaty mccheaterton basically the entire month of July...horrible!, so that's why the loss hasn't kept going. The good news is that it's stayed off and I'm back on the saddle and hoping for another 15 by Sept. when we go back.)
- Speaking of that, we'll go back in September (if we're not miraculously pg by then) and will do 1 more cycle of injectables (I believe) before making our way to IVF. Let's hope it doesn't take that!!
- Okay...onto other things. We have 2 pups.
Kow.e and Luke. (Not sure why K's pic is so much bigger, but I assure you, it's very much like her to butt in and get all the attention.)Aren't they cute?
- I have the best job on the planet. I raise money for Purdu.e Univer.sity, which allows me to travel all over the country, meeting outstanding people and seeing amazing things. I went to PU and am proud to be a B.oilermaker!! Great timing, too, as yesterday we celebrated the anniversary of P.urdue's own N.eil Armst.rong walking on the moon! It was a great day to be a B.oiler!
- I read. I shop. I eat J's cooking. I listen to Dave Matth.ews, Jack Johns.on, OAR. Or KLOVE. I love reality TV (Tori! Denise! Kendra! The Little Couple! Love them all!! Except the hypocritical G.osselin's.)
- We are pretty passionate about the environment. We recycle (obvs...who doesn't these days?), we compost, we have a big garden in the backyard, we shop locally whenever possible, I drive a hybrid car (Fiona...b/c she's "green" with little ears!), we only use reusable shopping bags, we plan on CD'ing. It's just one of our things...and it's much easier than I ever expected!
- We're getting ready to go on a cruise (24 days!!). We have an IVF fund set up and I have convinced J that if we don't have to go to IVF, we can spend that money on a European Babymoon.
Well...I think that's longwinded enough for one day! Welcome, make yourself at home and stay a while! Happy iclw'ing!

Is That A Threat?
Since becoming a Cubs, Matt
Since becoming a Cubs, Matt Lawton has ONE walk and ZERO SBs in 12 games, with an .259 OBP. In July, he had an OBP of .421 and stole 8 bases.
umm...wow now THAT is true
now THAT is true fluff journalism.
they gonna give us lottery #s next? how about predictions of the next terrorism targets or major earthquake?
still...just for the FA list itself its usefull.
Lawton needs to go ASAP. I
Lawton needs to go ASAP. I would like it to be on friday when Hairston returns, but it will have to wait till the end of the season. If Nomar changes positions it would be to the OF. He is not going to replace Walker at 2b they are to close for that to happen. ARI won't spend that much money on Furcal. After the Nomar thing in April I remember Levine saying the Cubs were interested in him. I have to say I softened my stance on Furcal and if he is not going to Farnsy with the local bar scene I could go for him. Don't worry about Wilson Rob, Hendry wants Pie to be in CF ASAP.
nomar nor his agent would
nomar nor his agent would allow him to play OF right now...he's got a "line drive" arm anyway...he'd be useless anywhere but LF/CF.
give up the furcal pipedream...no offense, but the cubs have invested a lot of money in garciappara's promotion (and his wife, too) and so far its paid off well in merchandice sales. he's around at least another year unless someone really slams some loot down in front of his agent.
the "big" upgrade spot seems to be RF and if murton cant find his power stroke this winter, maybe LF...
patterson/hairston seem to have a lock on CF unless trades or something weird happens...both look to be a cheap-ish combo to sign for another year and it gives Pie some well needed time to break in.
I don't know what Hendry
I don't know what Hendry will do but I pray he gives a long look in Brian Giles direction.
What makes people think
What makes people think Hairston will be with the Cubs next season? I was under the impression he was unhappy here.
hairston's under club
hairston's under club control and given his short-ish season and elbow injury...he shouldnt be too expensive.
even if he only sees 400ab's as a OF/2nd, he still should be cheap enough to justify it.
as far as his unhappiness...he came to the club happy that he would probally be a full time starter at 2nd...yes...he thought he'd be starting over todd walker.
then reality sat in and he pouted and kicked dirt and whined and no one cared. then he got his ego together just in time to contribute and eventually won patterson's job...then he got injured.
hairston "grew up" a bit more than he annoyed. still...he's no automatic given to be with the club next year. doubtful he'll be cut loose, but he could easily be trade bait in a slow 2nd baseman FA season.
he wants to start and honestly he could start for a lotta clubs.
When the Cubs picked up
When the Cubs picked up Lawton I went on record saying we'd regret it.
Wish I had been wrong, but Lawton has this history of fading badly at the plate after the All-Star break and so far he hasn't disappointed in that regard. Couple that with his weak defense and you have yet another 'subtraction by addition' situation in Chicago.
"the "big" upgrade spot
"the "big" upgrade spot seems to be RF and if murton cant find his power stroke this winter, maybe LF"
HR are over rated. What has hitting HR got this team the last two years? At the most two 3rd place finishes, and very possibly a 4th place finish. Cincy and Texas are 1st in their leauges in HR's and their a combined 32.5 games out of their division. What Hendry needs to do is find guys who know how to play the game. Guys that have more skill sets then mashing a ball 450 ft. Murton also is not going to play winter ball I don't believe he has done it in the past and why would he start when he is in the bigs to stay?
chifan.. murton is not a
murton is not a leadoff hitter...period. he isnt, he isnt, he isnt.
im not making this decision, nor would any sane organization groom him to be one.
murton is a hitter...too good of a hitter to not play on his power...we're not talking 50 homers here, but he's not a guy who will bunt for hits or look at 30-40 steals for a season. at WORST he projects for a #2 hitter...that's if his power dont come around. when he learns how to pull effectively MORE THINGS HAPPEN THAT JUST HOME RUNS...it makes a pitcher KNOW they cant just pitch him in. righties are KILLING him with inside pitching cuz he cant get around on the ball as well as he can middle/outside.
did you see that homer to RF a few days ago? how can you NOT want him to learn how to pull? a guy that makes that good of contact you dont just put his career on the leadoff path. it would be a waste. murton's got 20+ hr power and it wont effect his eye or what he does on bases...it'll pimp his doubles, too. right now he's a RF/CF hitter and a lotta it is flat contact...he hits a lotta stuff to LF on/near the ground. it WILL be exploited by pitchers who can and advance scouts who notice.
and as far as murton not playing winter ball...that would be a HUGE mistake for his career unless the cubs brass has made his role clear for 06.
Crunch, I didn't say that
I didn't say that Murton should be or will be a leadoff hitter. He can learn how to pull the ball w/ a real hitting coach next spring. It is too huge of a injury risk for him to play winter ball when he could fix those problems in ST.
well...he's gonna do winter
well...he's gonna do winter work anyway cuz he's been working on pulling the ball since he became a cub...he's had about 5 months to work on it and it isnt there yet...but unlike some guys learning what he's doing he makes such nice linedrive contact.
he's not far off...his main problem is pulling on the fast stuff..he doesnt get his hands in fast enough (though he gets the bat around) and ends up hitting off the skinny part of the bat.
there's gotta be some combo of hitting zone in the box that'll keep him hitting the outside stuff while turning on the inside stuff better.
yeah, it could happen this spring, but i just dont see the cubs counting on murton to play 162 games in LF when he's just a linedrive hitter who's exploited by righties unless he shows them he can do otherwise between now and march.
Anybody hear tonights lineup
Anybody hear tonights lineup on the Score yet? I would assume it's
Anybody heard?
"yeah, it could happen this
"yeah, it could happen this spring, but i just dont see the cubs counting on murton to play 162 games in LF when he's just a linedrive hitter who's exploited by righties unless he shows them he can do otherwise between now and march."
Henry Blanco hit like a god in Winter ball last year. I wouldn't personally change my opinion one way or anther. In fact winter ball might cost the Angels the AL west because K-rod, accoring to a Ken Rosenthal article this winter, was overused in winter ball and with how he has piched in the last week one has to wonder if that is coming back to haunt him.
I wouldn't personally change
I wouldn't personally change my opinion one way or anther {based on WB performance.}
#s dont mean crap...showing
#s dont mean crap...showing the club he can hit inside pitching and pull it does. even if he hits very ordinary #s he needs to show the organization he can hit inside and pull the ball or we might see someone else in LF or a L/R pitcher platoon situation. there's a lotta FA LF'rs out there and it wouldnt be too big of a trouble for the cubs to sign someone.
if murton wants to lock it down, he's gotta show it.
its better to show it in games that dont matter than to learn/practice in games that matter.
Murton has the same build as
Murton has the same build as Sandburg did coming up, if I recall he hit some homers in his career.
"showing the club he can hit
"showing the club he can hit inside pitching and pull it does. even if he hits very ordinary #s he needs to show the organization he can hit inside and pull the ball."
Lee had that problem until age 30 and he fixed it w/o Winter Ball.
1- murton is 23 2- just cuz
1- murton is 23
2- just cuz you want him to do something dont mean he will just cuz
3- his job for 06 is in real trouble if he doesnt do it
4- he has the ability to do it
and about the sandberg thing...he didnt start hitting homers til...umm...oh yeah, when he learned to pull the ball. and honestly, sandberg and murton are VERY similar.
except that Sandberg
except that Sandberg wouldn't have been a very good corner outfielder :)
hehe... seriously,
seriously, though...as much as i love murton he's not the best bet out there til he can come inside better.
righties are pounding himside and he's either making weak contact or missing totally. youre gonna see a righty 3/4 of the time in baseball.
that's a serious flaw...BUT...with murton's eye and his tools and his age...its far from a death sentence. he makes contact inside, but its mostly not good contact. he's close and there's not much left to plug up...hell, he looks a lot better than choi does handling the inside pitch...he at least makes contact.
"and about the sandberg
"and about the sandberg thing...he didnt start hitting homers til...umm...oh yeah, when he learned to pull the ball. and honestly, sandberg and murton are VERY similar."
Sandberg did not play Winterball to learn how to pull the ball. He actully had a hitting coach who knew what in the hell he was doing. If he worked a whole spring with Sandberg could fix it or at the very least put a dent in it.
Did you hear the story on
Did you hear the story on how got Ryno to turn on inside pitches?
He helped Ryno early on, and in games Frey would whistle before a pitch he wanted to Ryno to pull. He said in Montreal where there were no crowds, he would yell "Now Ryno!"
Get Fry in the dugout with an air horn.
"Sandberg did not play
"Sandberg did not play Winterball to learn how to pull the ball. He actully had a hitting coach who knew what in the hell he was doing. If he worked a whole spring with Sandberg could fix it or at the very least put a dent in it"
youre missing the point.
its not up to me...or you...or anyone's good intentions.
unless he SHOWS the club he can do it or the club commits to him to play...he will end up being a platoon or bench. there is no incentive right now to have him play inside until he can learn to hit inside and force righties to pitch him in other ways than just pound him inside.
as much as his #s look sexy, he's not gonna go up there and face 600ab's worth of lefties...and lefties that can go inside on a righty well (suprisingly small #s, blame the alluminum bat) will also get on his game.

Including the ten players who are signed for 2006, the six players who will be arbitration-eligible after this season, and an expected additional ten auto renewal (pre-arbitration) players needed to fill-out the 25-man roster, the Cubs would have $83m in payroll committed for 2006. Thatís before any money is spent on free-agents.
However, if (as expected) the Cubs exercise their option to buy-out Jeromy Burnitzís contract for $500,000, and if (as expected) Glendon Rusch exercises his player option and becomes a free-agent, and if Jose Macias is non-tendered, the payroll committed for 2006 would be reduced to $74m.
The Cubs payroll for 2005 was in the neighborhood of $90m, plus an additional $20m in severance and buy-outs involving Sammy Sosa, Moises Alou, and Mark Grudzielanek. So the Cubs were actually spending $110m in salaries for 2005, with $90m of that spent on players who were actually playing for the Cubs.
If Hendry had been unable to trsde Sammy Sosa, and had thus not acquired Hairston or signed Burnitz, the Cubs payroll for 2005 (with Sosa on the team) would have been about $105m. So $105m was apparently Hendryís payroll budget for 2005.
Since the Cubs went ìover budgetî by about $5m by signing Burnitz (HaIrstonís salary was an even exchange with Kyle Farnsworthís), that means that IF the payroll budget for 2006 remains at the same level it was for 2005 ($105m), minus the $5m that Hendry went over-budget to sign Burnitz, that would mean Hendry would have about $26m in payroll (the difference between $74m and $100m) to spend in 2006 salaries (signing free-agents or trading for players with substantial 2006 salaries) during the off-season. Of course, itís also just as possible that the Tribune Company could cut Hendryís payroll budget for 2006 to $95m or even down to $90m). But letís say it stays the same as 2005, and Hendry has about $25m to spend in 2006 salaries for free-agents and/or players acquired in trades.
Primary needs (at this time) would seem to be a middle-of-the-order slugging RF, a closer, and possibly a starting pitcher (thatís if Kerry Wood is permanently moved to the bullpen). The pickings are slim, but the best free-agent corner outfielders capable of playing RF likely to be available would probably be Jacques Jones, Brian Giles, and current Cub Matt Lawton. Giles and Lawton are better players, but Jones is five years younger. It seems more likely to me that (for better or worse) Hendry will package a couple or three young pitchers and make a deal for somebody like Austin Kearns instead. If Wood is in the bullpen, he could be the closer, and then the Cubs would probably need to go after a front-line starting pitcher to replaqce Woody in the stsarting rotation. A. J. Burnett would be the best one available among free-agents, but there will be a lot of competition to sign him and the offers could get totally outrageous. Jeff Weaver is under 30, has had a decent season for the Dodgers, and could be a second option if Burnettís price goes way out of sight. Or Hendry could (as happened with Matt Clement a few years ago) acquire a quality starting pitcher in a trade. (That would probably require some serendipity, however). Or the Cubs could take their chances and hope that Angel Guzman, Sergio Mitre, Todd Wellemeyer, Rich Hill, or Renyel Pinto (or somebody else from the farm system) will emerge as a reliable starting pitcher.
If Wood is healthy and can return to the starting rotation (although unfortunately that probably wonít be known until Spring Training) , then acquiring a closer would be a priority, and the best ones likely to be available (among likely free-agents) would be B. J. Ryan, Billy Wagner, and (yes) Ryan Dempster. I canít see trading for a closer, because there arenít any good ones out there who would likely be available in a trade. I would expect the rest of the bullpen to be built "in-house," with the likes of Scott Williamson, Roberto Novoa, Will Ohman, Michael Wuertz, Jermaine Van Buren, Bobby Brownlie, et al. And possibly Kerry Wood.
Signing Derrek Lee to a contract extension (probably $50m over four years, 2007-10) will probably be another priority for Jim Hendry during the coming off-season, although if accomplished, the salary spike for D-Lee probably would not be seen until the 2007 season and would be offset (with about $20m left-over) by other players (Maddux, Walker, Hairston, and possibly Kerry Wood) leaving the team after 2006.
Another concern for Jim Hendry during the off-season will be Aramis Ramirez, who has a player option to be a free-agent after next season. During the coming off-season, Hendry may try and get Ramirez to give up his player option for 2007 in exchange for the Cubs guaranteeing the contract through 2010 (itís presently guaranteed only through 2009, with a club option for 2010).
Giving D-Lee a contract extension through 2010 and guaranteeing A-Ramís contract through 2010 would keep the offensive core of the Cubs together for another five seasons (2006-10), during which time Matt Murton (LF), Felix Pie (CF), and Ronny Cedeno (SS) will (hopefully) become established and productive major league players. By the end of the 2010 season), Lee will be 35, and Ramirez will be 32, and it will probably be about time to go in another direction at 1B and 3B.

I have heard conflicting
I have heard conflicting things about Felix Pie. According to Johnathan Mayo, the cubs are indeed drooling over him, and projecting him as the starting CF in 2007, not 2006. What's the deal?

AZ Phil, my hat off to you. A most amazing article on the Cub organization that I have seen in a long time.
A quick thought. Derek Lee at 35 with the Cubs makes me feel a tiny bit uncomfortable. DLee's a favorite of mine but I don't expect him to match his 2005 numbers next year, let alone until 2010.
Anyone else think that Derek will regress a bit in 2006?

Soler likely to return Sunday, Maddon says
Right now, I'd like to see the Mets first, Giants 2nd.
I believe that since most of the team from last years' NLCS is on the squad this year, they will really amp their game up even more to kick their ass in payback for 2015.
The Giants just do not have the depth in years past, and I think all things equal - and at Wrigley - they could handle them.
I do not want to see the Cards, period. Or their fans, media, or Joe Buck.
I don't want to play Braves in the first round. Any friggin team in the league can win 3 of 5..I hate the first round. Furthermore, I wanted to play the Marlins in 2003 and the Mets over Dodgers last year.
With that said in reverse order:
3. Cardinals: It will be devastating to lose in the first round, but even worse to their main rival. It is increased incentive for the Cardinals, especially after last year. Cards would have nothing to lose, Cubs have everything to lose.
2. Giants: Rotation in the playoffs scare me a bit, but what a lousy team.
1. Mets--because of the losses in the rotation
2. Giants--because they're not the team they were BUT they maybe have bullshit even-year magic?
3. Cardinals--because rivalry and not making the playoffs hurts them more than losing in the NLDS plus getting eliminated by them in the playoffs would make for horrible sports commentary next throughout next season.
Who's asking?
CLE/DET rained out last night already, possible rain-outs in New York (vs. Baltimore), Boston(vs. Toronto) and Philly(vs. Mets) this weekend too.
Not only games involving playoff spots that would need to be played, but any that involve home field advantage.
I got the first one! Second one I'm not even sure what even/odd betting is.
any opponent preference for NLDS?
Mets are down to 1 great pitcher instead of 4. Syndegaard may pitch Sunday which means if Mets win the WC game, he'd be set up for Game 1. There's a chance they clinch a spot by Sunday so he'd pitch the WC and then we'd probably get Colon for Game 1. They've certainly had the hottest bats over the last week and month out of the WC options.
A couple of Cub related puzzles.
Can't teach height and thinness
Hopefully Pirates don't call up A. Lincoln.
j.buchanan going friday...should be...baseball...or something like it.
Wow. I didn't know they could do that.
Nice for Willson, not so much for Addy.
Game is officially called...also officially a tie.
Stats count, no make-up date of course.
Yeah -- seeing the weather -- I hope KB and Rizz are inside, wrapped in blankets and drinking hot chocolate.

When Dale Lockwood was arrested two years ago, he warned investigators about his ties to a high-ranking Buffalo police officer.
"Do you have any idea who I am?" he said. "My brother's the deputy police commissioner."
Lockwood's claim turned out to be true but it didn't help him avoid allegations that he took part in a major drug-trafficking operation run by members of the Afro Dogs motorcycle club.
On Monday, he admitted his guilt as part of a plea deal that ends a two-year-long investigation that snared several high-profile names.
"He's the last one," Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas S. Duskiewicz said of the 12 defendants in the cocaine prosecution. "This plea was entered into in order to avoid a second trial."
Lockwood, 60, was one of five defendants who went to trial earlier this year and the only one in the Afro Dogs case who the jury could not decide was guilty or innocent.
"He determined it was in his best interest to take this plea," said defense attorney John P. Pieri. "He considered the consequences of a conviction as a result of a new trial."
Lockwood, who had a previous felony drug conviction, will face a likely sentence of between 60 and 71 months in prison instead of the 20 years to life he would have faced if he had gone to trial and been found guilty.
As part of his deal with prosecutors, he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess and distribute cocaine.
From the day his brother was arrested, Deputy Police Commissioner Byron C. Lockwood has denied any involvement with the Afro Dogs drug ring, a claim investigators with the Drug Enforcement Administration have confirmed.
"We lead separate lives," Lockwood said at this time of his brother's arrest in 2011. "I've never talked about police investigations or sensitive activities with anyone outside of police personnel."
Dale Lockwood was not the only defendant in the Afro Dogs case with connections to City Hall.
Ricky M. Allen Sr., who took a plea deal and became a key witness at this year's trial, was the former head of the Buffalo Joint Commission to Examine Police Reorganization.
Allen was accused of passing inside information about police investigations on to the alleged leader of the cocaine ring, and eventually pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute cocaine.
He also was the target of an attack earlier this year that police believe was tied to his testimony in the drug case.
Investigators say 10 to 12 shots were fired into Allen's home. Allen, his wife and their 11-year-old son were at home but not injured.
