MOOREFIELD - Few baseball or softball teams from the West Virginia District 6 Little League have ever made the trip a regional tournament. However, none of those teams went on to win the tournament.
The Moorefield 10-11-year-old all-Star softball team looked to change that when they traveled to Luray, Va., to play in the recent Southeast Regional tournament.
After losing to the host team, the Moorefield girls won four straight games, including twice against Luray, to get a bit of redemption, becoming the first District 6 team to ever win a regional tournament.

The Moorefield girls 10- and 11-year-old softball all-stars made history as West Virginia District 6 Little League's first regional champion. Moorefield won the Southeastern Regional. Team members are, from left:?first row, Marissa Ratliff, Madison McGregor, Hanna Carlson, Emma Baker and Anna Riggleman; second row, Carmen Ketterman, Lindsey Rinker, Rebekah Cook, Alyssa Vetter, Macie Zirk and Remi Hinkle.
"This is very awesome for this group of girls," said manager Julie Cook. "I don't think it's sunk all the way in yet. They are a very hard working group of girls who have set the bar very high for themselves."
Cook brought the group of girls together three years ago. As she called herself a "big softball and baseball fanatic," who watches all of the Little League World Series, she said she noticed something.
"I always watch the (Little League) World Series games," Cook said. "Every winning team, after the game says, 'These kids have played together since they were 8 years old.' I thought if we're ever going to stand a chance from little District 6 in West Virginia, we're going to have to put a group together when they're young."
So that's what she did. She assembled the group of girls, and they play in travel leagues in the summer and in Moorefield Little League's softball league in the spring.
This team went to the 9-10-year-old state tournament last year. However, even though it only allowed three runs, the team lost back-to-back 1-0 contests and were eliminated from the tournament.
Even with the tough losses, Cook said, "They didn't let it get them down."
This year, the team returned to the state tournament after breezing through its two district games. And this year felt a little different to its manager.
"This year was the first year that I felt like they finally had jelled together," Cook said. "This year, it sort of clicked."
Whatever it is, it surely did click.
The team won all three of its state tournament games, including 7-1 victory over Hedgesville in its first six inning game to that point.
Moorefield outscored its opponents by a combined score of 84-7 in the five games they played in the district and state tournaments.
A small setback occurred in the state tournament when Cook's daughter, Rebekah Cook, broke her toe before the championship game, causing the manager to have to rearrange her defense.
Cook said, however, with the large amount of versatility her team possessES on defense, it was easy for her to change the layout.
Pitching depth, along with the defensive versatility, proved to be the team's biggest strength heading into and throughout the regional tournament.
"Out of the 11 girls on the team, I consider five of them go-to pitchers at any time," Cook said. "I have two other players that I can throw."
Cook saw in Luray that her team's pitching depth exceeded the competition's greatly.
"We saw at the regional tournament that most of the teams had one ace and their No. 2 pitcher fell off tremendously," Cook said. "With us, I could throw any of my first five and be comfortable."
Moorefield had 10 days to prepare for the regional tournament and didn't waste any time. The team practiced every day for three to four hours. Cook said there were times the girls wanted to stay even longer and take extra grounders and fly balls.
Moorefield played its first game of the tournament against Tennessee, winning 6-0 behind a combined one-hitter by pitchers Cook, Emma Baker and Alyssa Vetter.
Moorefield's next game was a tough one. It lost to Luray 8-3. It left 12 runners on base and committed five errors.
After defeating Tennessee again, Moorefield defeated Florida 7-6 in the loser's bracket championship. Cook scored the winning run as Florida botched an intentional walk it was trying to issue to Lindsey Rinker.
Moorefield then had to play Luray again, needing to defeat the team twice to win the tournament.
Moorefield won Game 1 11-7 in an offensive game.
"It was a very good game by both teams," Cook said. "Both teams hit the ball well."
Thirty minutes later, Game 2s started.
"They just acted like it was another ballgame," Cook said. "They were there to play ball."
Moorefield won 3-1. A perfect relay from the outfield nailed a runner at the plate to save the game and get the final out.
As Cook put it, "It was pretty exciting."
Cook said in Virginia, fuel was added twice to the fire within her team because of some comments they heard.
Cook told the story that at a McDonald's in Virginia, a gentleman looked at their jerseys and said "What are you all doing?" She said they told him they were there for the tournament. The gentleman laughed and replied, "I didn't think girls in West Virginia knew how to play softball."
Then, before Game 1 of the championship, the girls overheard Luray coaches talking to parents before the game, saying it would only go one game because they were playing West Virginia.
"That offended them," Cook said. "But they were at ease, and they played their game."
Cook said that the team's biggest hitters throughout the tournament were Rinker, Anna Riggleman and Cook. The biggest pitcher were Baker, Hanna Carlson and Cook.
Cook said that being the first team from District 6 to capture a regional title is great.
"It means a lot, to win the whole thing," Cook said. "I don't think they realize that they've done something that no one else from this area has done."
Next year, this group of girls will be eligible for the softball World Series, which was the goal from the beginning for the team.
Asked if she thinks the team could make it there, Cook said "I really do. They're a very hard working group of girls. That's the goal they set for themselves three years ago"

The Wall Street Journal reports that Apple it testing several TV-set designs. According to WSJ, "officials at some of Apple's suppliers" said the company has been working on testing a few designs for a "large-screen high-resolution TV":
It is a well known fact that Apple integrated some form of Bluetooth in its Apple TV 2 and its Apple TV 3. For those of you who have jailbroken your Apple TV, you may have already played around with this functionality using some of the tools in nitoTV or other Apple TV hacks. Well, it is now Apples turn. As of the latest beta builds, being released for these little black boxes, 9to5Mac revealed that there have been reports of Bluetooth functionality being enabled, by Apple! So, what could this mean? What is Apples plan? Is this a "game" changer? Needless to say, officially enabling Bluetooth is a fairly BIG DEAL either way.
Are you one of the many unfortunate people to attempt Apple's latest update on your Apple TV? Did you click the update button only to be met with an error message, an incomplete download, or a completely useless little black puck like all the folks on Apple Forums? Well, if this is not you, breathe a sigh of relief. If this is you, have no fear, Apple TV Hacks is here!
Following today's launch of iTunes 11, Apple has rolled out 5.1.1 software update for Apple TV 2 and Apple TV 3 that adds support for Up Next with iTunes 11 or iTunes Match and includes some performance and stability improvements.
The Apple TV 3 jailbreak isn't out yet, but FireCore, the maker of Seas0nPass jailbreaking tool for Apple TV, has just shared some info on the status of this jailbreak:
Rumors have been swirling for nigh on a year now about what would come to pass when Apple finally delivers its television. Not that the Apple TV is any slouch mind you, but visions of a fully integrated Apple HDTV have had experts and fanboys alike drooling. News about a possible release schedule and what could be expected of this hardware has been slow to nonexistent in recent months leaving many people filling that informational void with speculation. One particularly juicy daydream was just delivered by our friend over at The Verge and we simply had to pass it on. So here is one die-hard's dream of the perfect Apple TV.

One of the great hematologists of our midcentury, a good physician, and an outstanding clinical investigator, one who earned that accolade in an era when studies of toad bladder did not qualify as clinical research was E. E. Osgood. One of Osgood's long-term studies, extending even to his death, concerned the treatment of chronic myeloproliferative disorders, granulocytic anemia, thrombocythemia, and polycythemia. He treated his patients with radioactive phosphorus (32P), and he employed it according to his procedure of "titration."1 Both the agent and the procedure have been abandoned.32P is expensive and, for the therapist inconvenient. However, for the patient it is most convenient: an injection every four to eight weeks and without risk of the extrahematologic side effects inherent in chemotherapy. Osgood's titration of the dosage spared the patient another risk, that of druginduced aplastic marrow.
Titration also is inconvenient, requiring that each patient receive a

Michigan State Spartans vs. Wisconsin Badgers
At Indianapolis, Indiana
Point Spread: Badgers -9.5
Total: 55
The Spartans were led by QB Kirk Cousins in the first meeting (290 yards, 3 TD passes) and look for the senior to lead them again. During MSU's current four-game winning streak, the offense has produced 38.5 points-per-game and 423.8 yards of offense. They will need to continue that pace against a defense that wants to atone for their poor showing in the first encounter. However, Cousins (10-1 TD/INT ratio during last four games) is a streaky QB and is on one of his hot streaks now. WR B.J. Cunningham was productive in the first meeting (6-102-1) and has been Cousins' top target all year (67-1,125-9). Look for him to be the first option target again this week. RB LeVeon Bell leads MSU with 794 yards rushing and 10 TDs despite being second on the team in carries.
Wisconsin has had a record-setting performance on offense on several fronts this year. Also on a four-game winning streak, they are led by QB Russell Wilson who has produced a jaw-dropping 28-3 TD/INT ratio. He leads the NCAA with a 192.9 QB rating and has tied the all-time mark with a TD pass in 36-straight games (tying former Texas Tech QB Graham Harrell's mark). Two of his picks did come against the Spartans and he has to take better care of the ball in the rematch. WR Nick Toon has been his favorite target (52-788-9) and that shouldn't change this week. Where this game will be decided is how the Badgers run the ball. Despite ranking 11th in rushing yards allowed and 7th in yards-per-carry allowed, MSU allowed 223 yards on the ground for a robust 5.6 yards-per-carry in the first matchup. The Spartans have to contain RB Montee Ball (248-1,622-29) whose 34 total TDs is second all time to Barry Sanders' 39 in 1988. Ball has been an elusive back and MSU must contain him to have a chance to win the game.
Michigan State was coming off emotional games vs. Michigan and Ohio State before the first encounter and it showed in their run defense. Now they are a 10-point underdog despite coming back to win in that October game. This is the first Big Ten Championship Game and we feel the Spartans can do enough on offense and defense to keep this game close.
Take the Spartans

Although I am not very familiar with the work of Elizabeth Taylor (my film interests tend to run more toward the post-1965 New Hollywood), I would be remiss not to acknowledge her death on Wednesday at the age of 79. And although I definitely need to brush up on my 1950s melodramas, I know enough to admire the woman. In addition to delivering strong performances in the few early roles I've seen her in (most notably the Tennessee Williams adaptations "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" and the oft-neglected "Suddenly Last Summer"), she was also key to the success of 1966's monumentally important "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?", which served as a much-needed slap in the face to the era's Hays-code social mores, and also won Taylor a second Oscar as best actress.
More admirable still were her humanitarian efforts, to which she had faithfully devoted herself for decades. She was also famously dismissive of ego-driven Hollywood BS, which is always a plus in my book. In any case, she will be missed. And don't worry: I just added "A Place in the Sun" to my Netflix queue.

As Paul McCartney knows, you don't really become a legend until people believe you're defunct. "Paul Is Dead" rumors were rife in the fall of '69. This fall, the dubious honor belongs to Spuds MacKenzie, Bud Light's "original party animal." Yes, Spuds, the curiously inexpressive English bullterrier (not the pit bullterrier of notoriety) who, heralded by Robin Leach voice-overs, attracts packs of nubile human females whenever he shows up in a Bud Light commercial. Bill Stolberg, an Anheuser-Busch spokesman in St. Louis, first heard the rumor when he got a call from a New York radio station. "The guy said, 'Tell me it isn't so.' I said, 'What isn't so?' 'That Spuds died in a limo crash.' " Stolberg said it wasn't so, but no matter. Other stories are overspreading the nation like beer foam. People in the South have heard that Spuds died in a plane crash, a la Ritchie Valens. In L.A., word has it the dog was electrocuted in a hot tub or drowned while strapped to a surfboard during filming. In the Midwest, he is said to have been trampled by the insanely jealous Anheuser-Busch Clydesdales or to have taken a fatal pratfall into a vat of Coors Light. In San Francisco, rumor claims that if you play "Go Spuds Go" backward, you hear "Spuds is dead."
But he isn't. Or she isn't. Spuds is actually a bitch whose real name is Honey Tree Evil Eye. Her friends call her Evie for short. When the 4-year-old isn't on the road making promotional appearances, she's alive and well at 2300 Sixth Ave., North Riverside, Ill. The corner house is easy to spot: Her owners, Jackie and Stanley Oles, have erected a statue of Spuds in the yard.
Why are the rumors so prevalent? Brooke Chapman, a Chicago account executive working on the Bud Light ads, thinks "these nasty stories were probably started by Coors." But the real explanation may be deeper and darker. Prof. Alan Dundes, an urban humor expert at the University of California, Berkeley, believes "men are jealous of Spuds because he's getting oohed and aahed by all those women in the commercials. Whoever started the rumors feels that Spuds has had his fair share and it's time for him to get his. Let's make no bones about it, this is a dog-eat-dog world."

Once it is spun into yarn, much of the spinning is still done by hand, producing a distinctive, slightly irregular look. It is then dyed and rolled into balls. Tibetan-style carpets are produced by the cut-loop method, which bears little relation to the process employed by Middle Eastern and Chinese artisans. Rather than tying thousands of individual knots, the weaver loops the yarn in and out of the vertical warp threads and around a horizontally placed rod; when the row is finished, the weaver draws a knife across the loops, freeing the rod. Once the weaving is finished, the carpets are trimmed to give an even finish, in some cases embossed and then washed (an industrial process which pollutes local streams with chemicals linked with birth defects). Most carpets are made-to-order for the export market, with distribution controlled by a small collection of traders. Prices vary widely: at the bottom end expect to pay around $50 per square metre; top-of-the-range carpets can be three times this, or even more. (Many Nepali producers also produce Afghan, Middle Eastern and Kashmiri-style carpets, though these are rarely as fine as the originals.) Read More

doctor in the same practice who said I was on the wrong cocktail
This answer was rated:
Why would the other doctor have put me on the paxil as well with the other medications I was taking. Prior to seeing this new doctor I saw another doctor in the same practice who said I was on the "wrong cocktail". Prior to the paxil I was taking adderall, wellbutrin 300mg xl, and wellbutrin 100mg, qd and alprazolam prn and he changed my regimen to wellbutrin 300mg, had me stop taking the other 100mg of wellbutrin and added paxil. I had mentioned then that I felt tired during the day but not depressed and that what I was taking for wellbutrin was fine. I did notice a difference when I was taking the paxil however when i saw the new provider because the other one left she said she wants to get me to stop taking the alprazolam and the wellbutrin. If I am gaining weight with the paxil shouldn't I suggest that maybe she keep me just on the wellbutrin along with my adderall I take daily? I have more feelings of depression latley but im not sure if it's because I wasn't able to get my wellbutrin until yesterday and it's been a week since ive taken it. Is it normal to have nasea after not taking it for a ween and then taking it? Thank you

Hi, the reality is that a common problem among patients today is that many patients are being overmedicated.
So these cocktails and different combinations are not really necessary .
The doctor who is seeing you right now is doing the right thing ,give you exclusively what is necessary so You do not need to be overmedicated.
Although paxil can produce weight gain, alprazolam could also have the same side effect.
So at this moment , it is impossible to determine which of these medications have produced your weight gain , it could be one of them or both medications combined.
If your doctors uses Wellbutrin for depression, she will also need to use Alprazolam for your PTSD .At the end ,you will need to take two medications ,in which one of them Alprazolam can also produce weight gain.
On the other side , what she is probably trying to do is giving you only one medication ( PAXIL ), decreasing progressively the dose of alprazolam and wellbutrin, this medication (Paxil) will treat the PTSD and depression. In conclusion, this is a much better option ,only one medication and less side effects .
It is normal to experience nausea when the patient stops taking Wellbutrin abruptly ,it is a common withdrawal side effect.

I was fine when I took the Wellbutrin and the Alprazolam but now I realize that I was taking the alprazolam three times a day which must have been why I was still feeling "sluggish" and "run down" as I put it when I brought this up to my previous doctor. I keep hearing all these bad things about paxil and I was wondering if I went back to just taking the wellbutrin and taking the alprazolam as needed for anxiety would make me feel better since I am realizing now that taking alprazolam during the day can make me drowsy and I was taking it tid. Im tired of trying new pills and I just want to stick with something that would make me have more energy during the day and not daydream or get distracted yet be on time for things. I have this huge issue with getting to appts on time or mailing things out on time. I don't know what it is but sometimes I feel as if I keep it in one spot that somehow it would dissapear and I wouldn't have to worry about it. Or when I have an appt or have to be at work by 8 I find myself waiting until the last minute to get ready when I could have got up alot earlier. I never really had an issue waking up in the morning until my accident. I found myself sleeping alot more, as this was not my first severe concussion yet my 3rd over the years and I was told that the more concussions the worse the symptoms and side effects. I have taken adderal for years and one would think that that particular medication would help with this but it only makes me calm and focused not hyper or "stimulated". The wellbutrin helped with the depression and I now know and realize what the alprazolam was doing to me during the day everyday I took it. I don't want to gain weight I feel as though that would worsen my depression as it has already been making my anxiety worse since ive taken the paxil. I don't want to just d/c my meds but I can't wait any longer to see my doctor as my appt isn't until the end of this month.

Every patient is different if Paxil has not worked for you , and the combination of Wellbutrin and Alprazolam ( decreasing the dose of Alprazolam ) is better and more beneficial , your doctor can continue with this combination better.
However, the most important thing , is for your doctors to give you what is really necessary ,no more medications than what You really need. The more medications you use , the greater risk of side effects .
So contact your doctor to determine what treatment could be better for you Paxil or Wellbutrin + Alprazolam .
In the meantime ,continue taking what your doctor prescribed you.

IGN cube's fanboy-favorite editor Fran Mirabella III unleashed an unwanted horse-head into the beds of many Gamecube owners. This happened when he scored Nintendo's "killer-ap" for the 2003 holiday line up - Mario Kart:Double Dash - the long awaited sequel to Mario Kart 64... with a dissapointing and medicore score of 7.9. This action outrages the fourm members of IGN and it became the gamecube's version of "pwned"

The sex position of choice is the during the seventies. It is like the popular '69,' but a decade later in the disco inferno we call the seventies. Like the sixty-nine, the woman lays on top of the man head-to- toe where both partners can execute oral sex to the others genitals. Make sure the woman is on top so she can use a full head and neck motion to perform her fellatio. The main difference is that the woman, while performing oral sex, sticks her finger up the guy's ass. This is due to the fact that several years after its heyday, disco and all its leisure suit glory is seen as "kinda gay." If enacted correctly, both partners will soon be climaxing with full orgasms that coincide to the beat of "That's the way (uh-huh, uh-huh) I like it (uh-huh, uh-huh.)"

A Philadelphia Traffic Court judge, his wife and a state legislative aide were arrested this morning on federal charges stemming from an alleged scheme that defrauded a state agency out of hundreds of thousands of dollars in grant funds.
Judge Robert Mulgrew, 55, and the aide, Lorraine DiSpaldo, 57, were charged in an indictment handed up by a federal grand jury with 30 counts of mail fraud directly related to the misuse of the grant money.
The pair, along with Mulgrew's 55-year-old wife, Elizabeth, also were charged with filing false tax returns.
In a statement, the First Judicial District said it would have no comment except to note that the charges are not related to an ongoing federal investigation of allegations of ticket-fixing at the Traffic Court. It will be up to the Supreme Court to decide Mulgrew's status as a judge.

It seems only yesterday American leaders were wary of Chinese computing equipment. The congressional Intelligence Committee said Chinese telecoms and networking-equipment vendors "can't be trusted," and American network operators with government contracts were steered away from vendors like Huawei and ZTE. Yep, that was last year.
The shoe is on the other foot today.
China's Ministry of Public Security is diving into American computing giants over security concerns. Database software specialist Oracle (NYSE: ORCL ) is on the list, presumably due to its big bet on server and storage hardware. So is storage systems expert EMC (NYSE: EMC ) . Even jack-of-all-trades IBM (NYSE: IBM ) is under investigation.
"At present, thanks to their technological superiority, many of our core information technology systems are basically dominated by foreign hardware and software firms, but the Prism scandal implies security problems," said Chinese media services, according to Reuters.
This is in reaction to the data security scandal that NSA contractor Edward Snowden uncovered at great personal risk and cost. It's not the first sign of Chinese eyebrows being raised; it's just the most formal backlash so far. In June, Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO ) presumably lost a major contract with massive telecom China Unicom over similar concerns.
With at least one Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI ) member in the Ministry's sights right now and another losing business over the Prism surveillance system controversy, Snowden's disclosures are having a real effect on American business interests.
But just how important is the Chinese market to our networking, big-storage, and computing vendors? Well, some supposed targets care more than others.
EMC sees China as a rapid growth opportunity, but the market isn't a major factor in current results. Losing Chinese sales might slow down the company's expansion plans but won't hurt short-term results all that much.
China is a bigger deal to IBM. The Asia-Pacific region accounts for 24% of Big Blue's total revenue, and China delivers the lion's share of that. The company also has a hundred-year legacy to defend, and I find it unlikely that IBM would risk its global reputation by building government backdoors into its equipment. Maybe I'm naive here, but it just doesn't compute, so I'd expect Chinese investigations to come up empty-handed here.
I have somewhat less confidence that Oracle has sparkling-clean hands, but then, Asia overall only adds up to 16% of the company's sales. So any lost business here won't be very painful. The same theory holds for Cisco as well: Asia accounts for 15% of the company's revenue.
So Snowden and his Prism disclosures might put a slight damper on American computer-sector business in China until the whole affair blows over. But it won't be a game-changing backlash for any of these companies. The Dow will survive this storm in a teacup. In the end, I'm still convinced that Snowden did America a service by unveiling shady policy moves, and he's not a business-breaking pariah. Share your own opinion on these matters in the comments box below.
American IT businesses are fighting these headwinds in China, but the market remains enormous and growing. There's good reason to believe that the most successful investors over the next few decades will be those with exposure to China's massive and growing population of domestic consumers. And there are few things that these consumers are likely to purchase with more enthusiasm than cars and trucks. In this brand-new free report, our analysts get out in front of this trend by identifying two automakers that are poised to surge along with China's middle class.

STATEMENT: CAP's Arkadi Gerney on Increased Funding to States to Improve Reporting to Background Check System
Contact: Tom Caiazza
Phone: 202.481.7141
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Washington, D.C. — Today, Arkadi Gerney, Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress, issued the following statement after the House of Representatives voted to provide an additional $19.5 million for grants that will ensure that tens of thousands of additional records of prohibited firearm purchasers are provided to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for inclusion in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, or NICS.
"When it comes to gun laws, 8 in 10 Americans—and most gun owners—agree that we need to strengthen our background check system to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people. The top priority should be ensuring that background checks are required on all gun sales and that the records of dangerous people are in the NICS. Today's bipartisan vote to pass the Thompson-King amendment is a step in the right direction and will mean that thousands of additional records of felons, abusers, fugitives, and the dangerously mentally ill go in the background check system where they belong."
The NICS database is a crucial component of keeping dangerous individuals—such as felons, domestic abusers, and the seriously mentally ill—from purchasing or possessing firearms. However, millions of records that should be included in the database are missing, as states often do not have adequate resources to manage and automate the reporting of accurate records.

Scientific Congress to Update the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report
February 2009: An international scientific congress titled "Climate Change: Global Risks, Challenges and Decisions," organized by the International Alliance of Research Universities, will take place on 10-12 March 2009 in Copenhagen, Denmark. The congress will be hosted by the University of Copenhagen.
The main aim of the congress is to provide a synthesis of existing and emerging scientific knowledge necessary to make societal decisions concerning application of mitigation and adaptation strategies in response to climate change.
The congress will provide a summary of existing scientific knowledge two years after the Fourth Assessment Report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was released. The congress takes place in the run-up to the UNFCCC conference in Copenhagen in December 2009. All findings will be compiled in a book, and an executive summary with the main findings will be handed over to policy makers at the conference. [WMO Related Meetings] [Congress Webpage]

Hi! My name is Sid
I am Domestic Shorthair from Cincinnati, OH
Nicknames: Sidalee
Age: 11 years old
Gender: M
Coat: short haired
Education: Sid guards me when I'm on the toilet. He goes everywhere I go. He has NEVER hissed - we don't think he has the capability to be mean (honestly). When other cats hiss or swat at him, he thinks they're playing. He is just an innocent guy - I think he may have had some head trauma because of how 'slow' he is and how nice he is.
My favorite tricks and treats are: He's to slow to do tricks. and Fried Chicken.
Where I hang out: On the floor.
My favorite grubs: Fish.
My pet peeves: Nothing - he is the most loving cat we've ever seen. We think he may have a slight mental disability (seriously - he's kinda slow).
What I love about my owners: She is so good to me. I love her. The only bad thing is my tail gets stepped on accidentally a LOT. No one else's tail gets stepped on as much as mine. Maybe I don't move fast enough.....
My cat hobbies: Jump on top of the portable air conditioner to try to peek out the window. He always changes the temp on it to heat, or turns it off!
Pet motto:
See all awards »
I was supposed to be fostering Sid. I wanted to foster a dog but they begged me to fister Sid because his other foster mom couldn't have him cause she was away too much When a family asked about him and decided they wanted him, I couldn't give him up!! At the time, I couldn't afford the adoption fee either so the head of the rescue (called HART) paid the fee for me as a Christmas Present.

Ice Harvest, The
Charlie Arglist is a sneaky lawyer who works for mob boss Bill Guerrard who rules over Whichita Kansas. On Christmas eve, Charlie and strip club owner Vic Cavanaugh manage to steal 2 million dollars from Guerrard but before they head off with the loot, they have to act normal for a couple of hours and tie up some loose ends including Charlie's love for Renata, an extremely beautiful stripper. As time progresses, it becomes clear that Guerrard may very well know what has happened as suddenly his best killer arrives in town and starts asking questions.
Sound and Vision:
The Ice Harvest is from 2005 and distributed by Universal which leads to the obvious conclusion that image and sound quality are superb. No problems with compression errors, good contrast and amount of detail and although most of the movie plays at night you don't miss a thing.
The sound comes even with a DTS track, something we can only applaud as it does a great job with clear dialogues and a perfectly balanced use of all channels.
– Beneath The Harvest: electronic press kit featurette that doesn't contain much depth.
– Cracking The Story: interview with the scenario writers and the author of the novel. However, again all comments are overly positive about each other, something we're fed up with.
– Cracking The Ice: a feature that shows how the scene on the frozen lake was created.
– Alternative Ending: two of them
– Outtake: Billy Bob Thornton plays a scene as the main character from Sling Blade
The Ice Harvest is based on the novel by Scott Phillips and tries to get to the same level as Fargo with the black comedy, tons of snow and crime. Unfortunately, the pace is extremely slow and never does the movie manage to keep you interested enough which the Coen brothers did manage to do with the previously named Fargo (or even Sam Raimi's "A Simple Plan"). This is mostly due to the fact that there's little originality to be found in the story and John Cusack looks like he's running around with too many tranquillizers in his system. Only at the very ending does he manage to wake up and do something he should have done about 1,5 hours before. The rest of the cast suffers from a pretty similar problem: they're clearly typecasted and do most of their stuff on auto-pilot.
The dvd itself is presented very nicely with good image and sound quality and although the extras are again quite promotional and the interviewees tend to be overly positive about each other, things could have been worse. All in all, The Ice Harvest isn't dark enough to be a film noir, doesn't contain enough decent jokes to be a comeday, and never manages to rise above average on all fronts.

Israelis today are literally between a rock and a hard place. The violent
outbreak has left them feeling angry and suspicious, and the continual warning
of potential terrorism has succeeded in frightening the population. Streets are
empty, tourists have sought alternative vacation spots and overwhelmingly,
Israelis prefer to seek safe refuge at home. (The classic portrayal of the
fearless Israeli who, even during the worst of times,
The anger and frustration permeating Israeli society is the manifestation of
the profound sense of confusion currently felt. Israelis had begun internalizing
the imminent creation of a Palestinian State with the hope that it would, in
turn, usher in a new era of regional peace and stability. Even the staunchest
opponents of peace and the Oslo process knew that the majority of Israelis would
have expressed their support for Palestinian statehood in a public referendum.
But now they have to grapple with why their ostensible "partner",
Yasser Arafat, has opted for violence instead of dialogue, and terrorism rather
than education.
There are clear indications that, for his part, Arafat has made the strategic
decision to promote and advocate violence.
Further undermining any confidence Israelis may have had regarding the
intentions of the Palestinians is the ease with which scores of youth are so
readily sacrificed for the publicity advantages of their national cause. Not old
enough to remember the horrible memories of war or the Intifada, these teens
fall victim to a constant bombardment of violent rhetoric and incitement
emanating from mosques and schools.
In addition, Palestinian television and
radio broadcasts are generously peppered with calls for "Jihad" (holy
war) and hateful speeches targeting Jews, Israelis, and Americans. Moreover,
Arafat himself, during the seven years since the famous handshake with Former
Prime Minister Rabin on the White House lawn, has yet to find at least one
occasion to rid himself of his revolutionary uniform and don the suit of a
In the domestic political arena, Israelis are certainly not finding any
respite. Pressure is mounting on Prime Minister Barak after his "go for
broke" bargaining style with the Palestinians failed. He is also facing
criticism by those who argue that the Army has not responded harshly enough to
the hostage taking in Lebanon by Hizbullah or the persistent gunfire emanating
from Palestinian controlled areas. Looking to avoid early elections, Barak is
courting the Likud and other right-wing parties who oppose the Oslo Accords, in
an effort to form a National Unity Government. However, current Likud leaders,
facing internal stability problems of their own, are reluctant to join a Barak
coalition should it mean laying the groundwork for what appears to be the
imminent comeback of Former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
A National Unity Government would also have far reaching implications. Barak
could no longer move ahead with the Peace Process on the basis of the
assumptions with which he was prepared to go to Camp David, even if he wanted
to. It is quite likely that Arafat perceives this as the inevitable scenario
that will play into his hands. Israel will be portrayed as the recalcitrant
obstacle to peace and he will continue to score international brownie points
that will lead to support for a Palestinian unilateral declaration of
independence and perhaps even to sanctions against Israel.
While Israeli attitudes will inevitably harden in the face of such hostility,
Israel will still have to confront the immediate strategic implications. Is
there the will or desire to maintain control in the territories in what is
effectively a war of attrition? Ultimately, Israel will be forced to define
lines of defense which it can effectively maintain and will inevitably have to
take its own unilateral steps to this end. One obvious conclusion drawn from
this violence is that the cost of maintaining isolated positions or holy sites
in the midst of Palestinian population centers is virtually prohibitive. For all
the importance of religious and national symbols, Israeli society's priority
is that of preserving human life. This will determine its strategic defense
lines over the former.
The tactics Israel has to employ in order to protect itself against violence
from within the Palestinian territories are relatively clear cut. However, the
violence has also opened up a socially more complex Pandora's box – that of
Israel's own Arab citizens. The rioting of the latter in parallel to that in
the territories took Israelis far more by surprise. For some Israelis, these
recent events heightened suspicion towards their fellow Arab citizens and called
into question issues of allegiance and trust. Therefore, dealing with not only
the manifestations of the problem, but with its causes is a far more complex
matter. There have also been violent Jewish counterattacks on Arabs and Muslim
shrines. Graffiti and posters decrying support for the ideas and policies of
Rabbi Meir Kahane – something considered to have been a specter of the past
– have become widespread again.
Above all, the mainstream of Israeli society is now plagued by the larger
questions of "now what" and "how do we proceed?" There is
little doubt that Israeli and Palestinian lives are intertwined and mutually
dependent. Therefore, any peace agreement must be rooted in some process of
reconciliation and cannot depend on complete separation as evidenced in a recent
analysis of the ramifications of an Israeli unilateral declaration of separation
published in the Hebrew daily Yediot Ahronot. The forecast was not
encouraging – economically, agriculturally, or otherwise.
Internally, Israel's future as a democracy depends critically upon
rebuilding and improving the fabric of Jewish-Arab relations. Nevertheless,
amidst the heavy cloud there are lights of hope for the future. Throughout the
Festival of Sukkot, tabernacles of peace, bringing Israeli and Arab Jews
together were set up throughout the country. Additional funds are being
allocated by the relevant government ministries to the educational and social
resources essential for repairing the damage and promoting a more hopeful
Amongst the different national educational initiatives, the ADL Israel Office
is involved at this very moment in bringing its educational skills and know how
through the A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE Institute, training key educators within the
Israeli school system.
The day will come when such energies and skills will similarly have to be
channeled into relations between the Palestinian Authority and the Jewish State.
But in the meantime, Israel has to concentrate its resources on controlling a
willful campaign of violence and preventing it from escalating to the point
where the hope of peace is nothing more than a distant dream.

Drawing on six years of fieldwork in Beijing, this article looks at the daily interactions of ethnic minorities in local neighbourhoods and places of economic activities. Moreover, it examines ethnic minorities' negotiations with public institutions, the Han majority and other ethnic minority groups. The article suggests that celebratory ethno-festivals and ethnic oriented restaurants that showcase minority traditions serve as a mechanism to encourage Han interactions with ethnic minority groups. However, the attendant risk in utilizing this practice is that the socio-economic struggles of many ethnic minority groups are being masked when a celebratory version of their culture and traditions are presented. This can potentially lead to reduce meaningful Han-ethnic minority interactions in the future.

Central Florida's most popular porker is making a comeback.
Chris P. Bacon's Cinderella story made national headlines when he was just a piglet.

He was born without the use of his hind legs and was given a wheelchair to get around.
Now, he's helping kids keep their spirits up by visiting patients at a children's hospital.
The children were all smiles as they got to meet and feed Chris P. Bacon in Mass. on Wednesday.
"Most of the children here, particularly coming from the school are in wheelchairs and to have a pig sharing that experience with them must be a really exciting time for them," said John Nash, CEO of Franciscan Hospital for Children.
Chris P. Bacon will spend Thursday in Boston and then head back home to Lake County.

We need you to take action- Locally and in Lansing. Make Posters for your car.Submitted by Steering.Jim on Sun, 05/15/2011 - 18:52
When Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons recorded "Silence Is Golden",
I don't think they were referring to groups like ours. Are there any
real progressives out their who are at all interested in action or is
this group only committed to the silent philosophical aspects of
We need to be planning and carrying out political action in our local
communities and not just going to Lansing and Detroit when the call
goes out.
Here's a great idea of activism.
Make several signs on poster board and carry them in the trunk of your car. When there's a parade or festival or even a traffic jam on your local street pull out your signs and let 'em know how you feel! Need a message? Take inspiration from one local activist who's sign read: Send Governor Snyderengler To China Bring Our Jobs back Home". She received an overall very positive response.
By the way, I hear recall petitions for Snyder will be ready as early as July 1, 2011. Sign up online if you are interested.

Koch Brothers Products to BoycottSubmitted by Steering.Jim on Sun, 03/06/2011 - 13:36
Many have been asking how to fight the Koch Brothers and their Union-busting assault on our American middle-class friends and family. For those of us working on take back our political process and our country, the Koch brothers represent the worst offenders of those wealthy corporations who are buying up our government officials to push their agenda, not ours. Many have already joined a boycott of the following products. Won't you join us too? While it might not seem like much, we know that when we all band together we can hurt their pocketbooks. The bank account is the place that motivates Republican businessmen the most. Join us and let's see if we can't change some behaviors. We certainly don't need to be helping billionaires get richer when they have an agenda to make the rest of us poorer and dependent on on them with our every paycheck.
Here's the product list being boycotted:

Brawny paper towels
Dixie plates, bowls, napkins and cups
Mardi Gras napkins and towels
Quilted Northern toilet paper

It's election time again. One of the extra important elections of all times is fast approaching!

Already absentee ballots are in the mail. Your help is needed immediately to make calls to voters. There are many creative uses of technology going on this election including calling from home, facebooking, texting, tweeting, and so much more.

The Afghanistan War is too costly and not winnable. Selected Articles cross posted from Carol C.Submitted by Steering.Jim on Wed, 08/04/2010 - 00:15
I have Afghanistan on my mind a lot lately. I read what our contemporary progressive writers and speakers are saying and wonder what it will take to stop the endless war. Here's a selection of articles on Afghanistan from Commondreams. I pasted representative text under each link. I share it with you in hopes you will share it with others. ~ Carol C.
"The Afghanistan War is too costly to continue. ~Phyllis Bennis
The WikiLeaks documents provide a treasure trove of evidence--of what we already knew. This war has already failed. Every death, of civilian and soldier, is needless. The cost of this occupation and this war--in Afghan blood, in U.S. and NATO military blood, in billions of dollars needed for jobs at home and real reconstruction in Afghanistan and elsewhere--is too high.
We need to stop the funding now, bring the troops and contractors home, support regional diplomacy, and begin the long effort of repaying our huge debt to the people of Afghanistan and Iraq."
Thanks to WikiLeaker, Afghan War Will End Soon ~ Ted Rall

You could try pre-mashing them, and then freezing the mash in ice cube trays. You could also go for pickling them, but they will lose some of that Nankin flavor.
I don't know if you drink, but you can also use cherries to infuse liquors. Awesome with whiskeys, rums, and vodka.

It rains cat and dog books all year round, of course, but these two break from the pack. Canine (Doubleday, $20) offers photos that are standard-issue cute, but the text has gems like Winston Churchill's pondering his daughter's "poor Puggywug" and Byron's epitaph for his beloved Boatswain. Scratching pictures altogether Cat (Farrar Straus Giroux $20) presents a literate array of poems (by Neruda Tolkien and Baudelaire; there's even kitty haiku) that will have cat people looking even more fondly at their little purr balls.

When the Phillies boarded their charter plane bound for Pittsburgh on Sunday, it was still June in Los Angeles. The illusion of contention had not wilted with one moribund series at Dodger Stadium. A 13-15 month of mediocrity accomplished that.
Ruben Amaro Jr. deplaned in the wee hours on Monday, facing a critical juncture in the franchise's future. The Phillies have revealed no concrete plans as they approach this season's July 31 trade deadline. There is no sense in displaying the "For Sale" sign until late in the month, when prices are highest.
The dilemma is more complex than a simple "buy" or "sell" choice. Amaro, the team's general manager for four years, must weigh a thin minor-league system against an impending television mega-contract, and the popularity of the current roster.

Nice apartment as advertised
Very nice accommodation
Fantastic views - just like in the pictures.
Would go back anytime!
Located in central Supetar with walking distance to beaches and the ferry, this accommodation is a perfect hub for a Brac vacation.
The view from the terrace is scenic with a clear view of Split from the other side of the strait. The beds are comfortable and not as hard as a lot of beds are in these kind of accomodations. The kitchen, though small, works well to cook in. We cooked one meal a day here for almost two weeks without getting swamped. The host is nice and very helpful and sometimes unexpectedly gave us treats such as fresh lemonade or home baked cookies. We traveled with a 1 1\2 year old, which worked really well here, she had a crib of her own and loved both the host and the house cat!
Price quality is correct. Cottages are spacious and the host is nice. Our family liked it very much.
Every was beautiful: house, service, neighborhood, environs, region - all was the best, but unfortunately the one thing disturbed our stay.
Very unpleasent strong smell of animal (cat, dog?) in living room.
It was really unpleasant.
We really enjoyed our stay in Grau Village. The apartment was well equipped and nicely situated close to the sea. Thank You! The only disadvantage was that we did not have any Wifi.
Very basic studio with sofa bed. Fittings outdated and slightly broken. Would spend a little more next time for something a lot better.
We stayed for 6 days at the apartment. Good spot with nearby metro for different places. Host was on time and welcoming. The air conditioning was undersize for the hot weather and the master bedroom bed needs an upgrade. Apart from that, our stay was nice and the neighbourhood is nice and calm.

Foreclosure filings nationally rose 2 percent in the first six months of 2012 from the last half of 2011, but were 11 percent lower than January to June of last year, RealtyTrac reported Thursday.
Pennsylvania was one of 20 states in which year-over-year filings did increase — 24 percent.
Many housing advocates had attributed that increase in filings since last fall to the end of Pennsylvania's venerable Homeowners Emergency Mortgage Assistance Program. More than 27 years in existence, HEMAP was credited with saving up to 47,000 homeowners from foreclosure, but as a result of budget cuts, the program ended July 1, 2011.

Kylie Jenner is not an ordinary teen – but like most of her peers, she still wants that perfect date for the prom.
"I don't have a boyfriend, but I do really want that boyfriend prom experience. I would want to go with someone who's not afraid, or doesn't think that he's too cool, to show up at my house with a rose corsage," she tells Seventeen Prom in their annual issue, on newsstands Dec. 25.
"It would be nice for the guy to come over and be respectful and nice while my mom takes prom pics," Jenner, 16, adds.
"But if I couldn't find a boyfriend, I would want to go with one of my best guy friends, like Jaden [Smith]. I know I'd have fun with him – he makes me laugh and he is a great dancer."
Jenner says she loves to dance and that she's not shy about asking a guy to join her on the dance floor.
"I wouldn't have a problem going up to a guy and just saying, 'Are you gonna dance with me?' Trust me, it'll work for you too! Guys like it when you aren't afraid to make the first move."

Fats and Protein - the building blocks of a healthy mind, body and soul
In terms of macro nutrients, fat (the good kind) and protein are the real trusted friends of your body, mind and soul. Let me elaborate a little further for you Im sure that by now most of you have heard that eating good fats helps you to burn fat and eating protein fills you up more and keeps you going longer as well as fuelling that all important muscle growth. But have you thought about the impact that they have on your insulin levels and sensitivity and your delicate hormone balance?*Its no secret to those that know me that Im an avid follower of the protein before carbs school of thought - its a way of eating that works very well for me in many more ways than one.The diet that most of us follow in the western world means that we are consuming a larger amount of refined carbohydrates and sugar, upsetting the levels of insulin in our blood. Not only does this leave us reaching for the nearest chocolate bar when insulin levels crash but it also upsets the delicate balance of oestrogen and progesterone - the female hormones - meaning that our oestrogen levels soar while progesterone drops, often leaving us feeling depressed, anxious, lethargic and very erratic. These feelings can lead to comfort eating, loss of sleep, weight gain and general drop in our self esteem. When this all becomes compounded by adding adrenal fatigue in to the equation the situation can become quite unbearable.*This is where our good friends fat and protein come to the rescue. By simply cutting your intake of carbohydrates and sugar and replacing them with fats from foods such as whole eggs, avocado, fish and nuts and protein from meat, fish, poultry etc you avoid the insulin spikes, avoid the hormone imbalance, the weight gain and that whole list of negative results that no one wants in their lives.You may be wandering where youre going to get the certain levels of carbohydrate that your body needs to function. The answer is vegetables and fruit. Eat enough of these, combined with fats and protein and the occasional portion of Quinoa or Sweet Potato, and youre body can easily fuel itself.You can further improve your recovery by eating 4/5 small meals a day rather than the standard 3. Not only will this aid in the maintenance of insulin sensitivity and hormone balance but it will also raise your metabolism and aid in any weight issues you may have. If you then throw in two good weights/ resistance training sessions a week and one or two cardio sessions youll find your life will take a drastic U turn.*What are your thoughts/ experience on prioritising the intake of fat and protein over carbs? If theres any questions about anything Ive written here let me know - Im happy to help!
Think you are preaching to the converted here!
what's your angle? Troll??
I was looking through a few recent posts and saw some from people recovering from eating disorders - this is a post I put on my blog a day or two ago and thought it might be interesting/ helpful to them... I don't doubt that most of you here are fully aware of what I wrote about but was just trying to help those that may not be
So, what do you do when that doesn't work and you see yourself gaining fat despite eating grass-fed beef, O3 eggs, veggies, fruit, soaked and dried nuts, avocado and tubers in all their organic goodness, while lifting, running, swimming and doing martial arts?
Blah, another guru wannabe.
My Journal: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread57916.html
When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.
Here's a list of paleo friendly vegetarian sources of protein and healthy fats for you to try;
Hemp Seed
Sweet Potatoes
You could also try including some no dairy cheese such as goats cheese, feta or halloumi if you're not so strict on the paleo side of things.
Perhaps try looking at your portion sizes, timing and frequency of your meals and also look more at measurements than weight, with the type of training and diet nyou described they'll be much more reliable than a set of scales.
With regard to being a wanna be guru - I'd say more sharing the knowledge i have and hoping it may help but always aware that there's much much more to learn.

Fat makes me fat.
"I think the basic anti-aging diet is also the best diet for prevention and treatment of diabetes, scleroderma, and the various "connective tissue diseases." This would emphasize high protein, low unsaturated fats, low iron, and high antioxidant consumption, with a moderate or low starch consumption.
In practice, this means that a major part of the diet should be milk, cheese, eggs, shellfish, fruits and coconut oil, with vitamin E and salt as the safest supplements."

City of Troy's insourcing experience
Sam Lamerato
Fleet Maintenance Superintendent
City of Troy, Michigan
Member, APWA Fleet Services Committee
Several years ago a neighboring city approached the City of Troy with a request to repair one of their frontline fire apparatus. After the repair was complete, the City Manager and Director of Public Works from this neighboring city requested additional repairs be performed to their city fleet. They stated that they did not have the facility or the manpower to make such repairs and that sending their equipment/vehicles to an outside vendor was both costly and too time consuming. The City of Troy agreed to repair vehicles for this neighboring city on a cost and material basis. Today the City of Troy makes repairs to all their fire apparatus and specialty equipment (such as Vactors, snow removal equipment, Allison transmission repairs, etc.), as well as the removal and installation of all emergency lighting on their patrol cars.
|Service Technician Matt Collins makes repairs to one of Medi-Go's senior citizens transportation vans. The repairs were completed without interrupting daily pickup or drop-off appointments. Since their service has been insourced, Medi-Go's ridership has increased dramatically.
With today's shrinking budgets and the downscaling or eliminating of fleet personnel, smaller municipalities are looking for an avenue to have their vehicles and equipment repaired. Word of the City's reputation of being an ASE Blue Seal shop, with quality repair work performed by certified technicians, spread and additional cities requested repair work be performed by the City. In the last six months, the City of Troy has been approached by city managers from cities located in the Detroit Metro area regarding repairs and new equipment installation (such as safety and emergency lighting) to their vehicles. We have met with them, discussed our fully-burdened shop rate, our markup on fuel and parts, and our hours of operation. The City operates a two-shift operation where equipment is dropped off at the end of the day and all attempts are made to repair the equipment for the following business day, reducing downtime and increasing productivity. After discussion, the interested parties have agreed to send their vehicles on an as-needed basis to the City for repairs and emergency equipment installations.
At the present time the City of Troy insources work from three outside cities, as well as a senior citizen transportation company, and is currently negotiating with two additional municipalities. We are working with one of our neighboring cities on a lease agreement where the City of Troy would purchase new vehicles/equipment and lease the vehicles/equipment at a set hourly rental fee, which would include all reasonable repairs, fuel, preventive maintenance, towing, and vehicle washes. Insourcing revenue for the budget year 2005/2006 is approximately $300,000.

WASHINGTON - In a sharp challenge to the GOP, President Obama proposed paying for his new jobs plan Monday with tax increases that Republicans have already emphatically rejected. The reception to his new proposal was no more welcoming, setting the stage for a likely new fight with Congress.
Flanked at the White House by workers whom he said the legislation would help, Obama declared: "This is the bill that Congress needs to pass. No games. No politics. No delays." He sent it to Capitol Hill on Monday afternoon saying, "The only thing that's stopping it is politics."
