Erie woman dies after motorcycle crash
An Erie woman involved in a Friday night crash in eastern Millcreek Township died early Saturday at UPMC Hamot, according to an Erie County deputy coroner.
The woman, identified as Peggy Sargent, 53, was driving southbound on Wattsburg Road when her Harley-Davidson motorcycle was rear-ended by a blue Jeep Patriot driven by Aleatha Wyatt, of Erie, at 9:23 p.m. Friday. The crash occurred at the intersection with East Gore Road.
Erie County Deputy Coroner Korac Timon said Sargent was pronounced dead at the hospital at 4:45 a.m. Saturday He said the cause of death appeared to be complications from blunt force trauma.
Police said Sargent was stopped or nearly stopped at the intersection when her motorcycle was struck from behind.
Sargent was thrown from her bike, police said. She was wearing a helmet.
Wyatt, the lone occupant in her vehicle, was uninjured in the crash, police said.
Police said the investigation into the accident is ongoing.

Police: Boy, 6, dies after being kicked by pony
NEW HOLLAND -- Authorities say a 6-year-old boy died after he was kicked in the throat by a pony on a central Pennsylvania farm.
Police in Lancaster County told the (Lancaster) Intelligencer Journal/Lancaster New Era that the boy was playing with other children in a New Holland pasture on Thursday morning.
Lt. Jonathan Heisse said the boy approached a pony from behind and the animal became startled and kicked him in the throat, causing him to be unable to breathe.

Although tackles Demonte Bolden and Dan Williams did their jobs by creating pass-rush lanes, Wilson did his job by roaring through those lanes to register the sacks. Even a modest guy can take some credit for that, right? Apparently not.
"It's a blessing from God," Wilson said, "if you can get in there and have great players around you, and everybody's trying to get to the quarterback."
Wilson faces the unenviable task of succeeding Jerod Mayo, who led the SEC with 140 tackles last fall and was the 10th player picked in the NFL Draft last April. At 5-10 and 225 pounds, Wilson is small for a middle linebacker but he offsets his lack of size by covering a lot of ground and being a sure-handed tackler. He showcased these skills throughout the three preseason scrimmages. So did his fellow first-team linebackers.
"I think for the most part we tackled well," Wilson said. "That's something Coach wanted us to do well. We took heed and we got out there and tackled well."
Wilson and the other first-team defenders had an easier task Thursday than in the two previous scrimmages. After facing the No. 1 offense in Scrimmages 1 and 2, they got to line up against the No. 2 defense in the final dress rehearsal. Wilson said he and his fellow defenders never overlook an opponent, even in a preseason scrimmage.
"We never want to go into a practice or a game like that," he said. "We just want to do what Coach wanted us to do – play hard every snap – and that's what we're going to do."
No one plays harder than Ellix Wilson. He may not be Jerod Mayo's equal in size or raw talent but, based on preseason scrimmages, the other defenders are responding favorably to Wilson's leadership skills.
"I think we played pretty well," he said. "Coach called on us earlier in the week and I think we did a good job."

Today's Woman survey finds Australian women want friends, family and financial security
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- April 06, 2013
FRIENDS are what make women happiest - even more than kids, partners or shopping.
Australian women worry more about their weight than their children's safety or money.
But food, shopping and pets still provide more pleasure than sex.
What women want most is the ''three Fs'' - family, friends and financial security.
Today's Woman survey of 6253 Australian women by NewsLifeMedia and parenting website kidspot.com.au reveals they are trading in their careers for the role of wife, mother and friend.
''Friendship consistently brings her more happiness than anything else,'' the report says.
''Friends are her personal board of advisers.''
The report shows ''time is the enemy'' for women juggling work and home duties.
''It's hard for her to balance her work, friendships and self with all the demands at home,'' the report says.
''She feels a lack of time and is often overwhelmed.''
Professor Barbara Pocock, director of the Centre for Work + Life at the University of South Australia, said women who ''step back'' into part-time work while their children are young often enjoy a better work-life balance.
''We're encouraging young women to become doctors and engineers and managers, and we need the workplace to respond,'' she said.
''Many women working full-time are finding it really hard to hold it together.
''It stresses children and families, it can contribute to relationship strains and it's not good for community fabric.
''Women's biggest source of stress, however, is maintaining or achieving the ideal body weight, affecting 72 per cent of women.
''The pragmatism she displays in other areas of her life turns to irrationality and stress when it comes to her weight,'' the report says.
''Not until the age of 65 does she stop worrying about it.''
Outside work, women spend most of their time caring for children - taking up 18 hours a week.
Chores chew up more minutes than do hobbies or relaxation.
If only they could steal more time, most women would indulge in ''me time'' or fitness.
And they would be twice as likely to spend the extra time ''connecting with my partner'' or catching up with friends, than playing with their kids.
Friendship, food and family are the top three pleasures for three out of four women.
Pets, sex and shopping made more than half the women ''happy or extremely happy'' - in order of priority.
MACKENZIE Carroll says life is "less complicated" when you've got the right friends.
"I have a group of friends that we go out with and have lunch with," she said. "We talk about university, family issues and our other friends. So if your stressed you have someone to talk to about it."
The 18-year-old university student, from Wahroonga, is in her first year of a high school teaching degree.
They had to recently submit their first assignment, but having a friend in the same course helped her prepare for the due date.
"It was an online assignment so we had to make sure we did it properly," she said. "My friend lives five minutes away so it was good being close.
"We talk a lot about how we are settling into university," she said. "There's more freedom at uni compared to high school so you need to be more organised.
"Knowing you can see your friends during the breaks between classes makes everything more fun and a lot easier."
She said the secret to building a strong social circle is making friends with people who have a common interest and sense of humour.

Brad of Sydney Posted at 11:11 AM April 06, 2013
These surveys make me laugh. Women outrank men by far in the shops and I don't limit this to essential shopping like supermarkets, banks, newsagents, etc. Women are also more likely, by my observations, to have wallets jam-packed with credit cards instead of just sticking to one or two. This is their right of course but how does it equate to the eternal search for financial security. On dating sites you'll find women in their 30s searching for the perfect man and the 'shopping list' will include things like no debt, own his own home, have the car paid off but must like pets and lots of travel. No mention of wanting to settle down and have kids though.
Brad of Australia Posted at 11:09 AM April 06, 2013
Same as my three... Family, friends and financial security. Isn't this what every one wants no matter your gender, race. Got to stop dividing Australia. We are all in this together!

Eddy Arnold, the "Tennessee Plowboy," was the Kenny Chesney and Brad Paisley in the decade after World War II, when he became the biggest country star of the day, rivaled only by Hank Williams. In that decade he racked up 20 # 1 singles, reflecting his relaxed pop-influenced crooning style according to Billboard and many more Top Tens. Those early hits, with the steel guitar of Little Roy Wiggins, have an ease and relaxation that stands the test of time.
Most singers who have a run like that never get a Phase Two. Arnold did. With a longstanding love of pop music, he got his when he recorded his My World album with a full orchestra, conducted by Bill Walker. He not only reinvented himself, but expanded his audience to adult pop music fans. In 1965, in the midst of Beatlemania, one of the album's songs, Hank Cochran's ballad "Make The World Go Away" became a # 1 country single and a Top Ten pop hit when that didn't happen very often. Just starting his second wind, he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1966. His final new album appeared in 2005, three years before his death in 2008.
Here's some context:
The tribute album promotional video:
I have some 30 second clips of Arnond on the podcast, but here's a bit more:
His hit version of the 20's pop ditty "Anytime."
His innovative "I Really Don't Want To Know" with background singers, an idea that wasn't yet widely used in country music. as it would be a few years later.
His earliest hit with an orchestra: "Cattle Call" accompanied by Hugo Winterhalter's Orchestra, recorded in New York.
A live TV version of "You Don't Know Me."
Early 60's:
Kicking back with the host on ABC's Jimmy Dean Show. The Gibson J-200 with his name inlaid in the fingerboard is seen on the cover of the tribute album.
"Make The World Go Away," Orchestra conducted by Bill Walker. The LP cover is the transformational "My World" album.

We have shown that a dye such as eosin or mercurochrome when injected either intravenously or intravesicularly will visualize the gallbladder and extrahepatic biliary ducts in the opened abdomen of rabbits when they are exposed to filtered ultraviolet radiation.1 In our work the source of ultraviolet radiation was a mercury vapor arc lamp with a nickel oxide filter. The filter permits the selection of waves ranging from 300 to 400 millimicrons in length (with the greatest spectral intensity at 366 millimicrons). Tissues or fluorescent dyes when examined by filtered ultraviolet radiation emit secondary visible rays; this phenomenon is called fluorescence.2 In the aforementioned investigation we found that the dye, which fluoresces as a golden color, can be seen progressing from the gallbladder to the duodenum, and then farther down the intestinal tract (figs. 1 and 2). Obstruction of either the biliary or the intestinal tract can be demonstrated

I've seen some of the work these people do, and all I want to say is that their love for other people, their concern for others' welfare, their care for all the people in their area--well, these qualities just show the great potential of human beings for goodness. We live in a world of many evils and much suffering; LSSM shows there's another side, a beautiful side to this world. You ask for details and specific examples, but I prefer to stay anonymous.

Early Times is aged in the barrels second-hand barrels passed down from the Old Forester bourbon distillery, so it's not actually a bourbon. 4- The weather during the aging process affects bourbon's taste During aging, bourbon-filled barrels are kept in big, multi-storey warehouses called rickhouses. Rickhouses are very rarely climate-controlled, and depending on the outside weather, the wood barrels expand and contract, imparting different types of flavor into the liquor. The hotter the weather, the more the pores of the wood open up and impart their flavor — as a result, barrels stored on the top floor of the rickhouse, where it's hotter, will have a slightly different flavor than those stored on the bottom floor. 5- During World War II, bourbon distilleries were converted to make fuel alcohol and penicillin Bourbon distilleries were shut down during Prohibition (which lasted from 1920 to 1933), and they barely had the chance to get back up and running when World War II started and the distilleries were repurposed to make recently invented penicillin. Penicillin is a product of fermentation, so distilleries were a natural choice for places to make it in mass quantities. Because of these historical disruptions to bourbon production, the market for the spirit didn't pick up again until the late 1980s.

The World Health Organization wants people to drastically reduce their consumption of sugar.
The WHO's expert panel is recommending a daily sugar intake of just 5 percent of total daily calories, just half of what the agency previously suggested.
Five percent is equivalent to around 25 grams (around 6 teaspoons) of sugar per day for an average adult. That daily allowance includes sugars added into foods, along with honey, syrup, and fruit juices.
''I brought here some examples of food that has a high content of free sugar. You see, this is an average soft drink, it's a soda, and an average serving contains up to 35, this particular one contains 35 grams of sugar, so its equivalent of 35 grams of sucrose," Dr. Francesco Branca, WHO's director for nutrition, said during a news conference.
The panel said cutting back on sugar would help to fight cavities and obesity, which has ties to numerous other diseases, like diabetes, heart problems, and more.

I came here to post the same question pretty much...
I'm definitely getting it. The main reason being that there are a lot of times I turn off my monitor at night, turn off all my lights, get in bed, get comfortable, only to realize I forgot to check ONE thing I was curious about on IMDB/Wikipedia/whatever... then I can't fall asleep unless I get out of bed and go look cuz the one nagging thought of feeling like I HAVE to go see. Now I'll be able to just reach over and pull up whatever it is on my DS. I think it might be a little less usefull for anybody who owns a notebook computer, but even then, depending on what you think of spending $35 or whatever you plan on using the browser for, the DS most likely won't take as long to start up and get to wherever you need to go as opposed to starting up a notebook from bed or wherever.
I guess it's just a lot of little things that way, but I'm wondering what its capabilities will be. If it's just like the Wii one, that'll be plenty enough for me. I don't need to have too much in it. Even Flash would make me happier than I'm expecting to be. Bottom line, it's one payment of $35 to never have to get out of bed just after going to bed every damn night.
Oh and not to mention Mondays when I sleep in and just wake up for a second around VC update time and curiosity keeps me awake haha

Name: Thomas Barber
Instrument: Trumpet, arranger-composer
Early Years/Education: My parents were adamant about exposing us to art as much as they could. Growing up in Moscow, Idaho, I went to the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival every year. I started on trumpet at age ten. My twin brother, Chris, called the drum set first. I also play upright and electric bass. I got into jazz at age 11 or 12.
John Stowell was one of my first teachers. He was one of the teachers at the festival. He would hang out with another influential figure in my development, pianist Dody Dozier. She and John would give me and my brother Chris lessons when they were in town. At age 14, I was in a group that competed at the Lionel Hampton Festival, and we ended up winning the combo competition. When they announced I had won the solo division, I was freaking out, really thrilled. I then realized the solo winners were expected to perform in that evening's concert, which I did.
After that, I thought I might actually be OK at this, so I decided to take private lessons more seriously. Every year the festival became this amazing fuel for me ... half of the New York playing scene and other major jazz artists from around the world would arrive in Moscow. For undergrad I attended the University of Northern Colorado and got a Bachelor of Music degree in classical trumpet performance. After graduation, I went to Juilliard in New York and received an Artist Diploma in jazz trumpet performance in 2006. While in New York, I found work playing, arranging and composing; did chart writing for people; had a small over-dub recording studio. I had steady work there, but it didn't feel like home.
Composing for film: My first film score was for my brother Chris. In 2005, he produced, directed, edited and shot his own feature length film. In 2006, we decided to finish it, so I spent about a month writing the score. I realized I grew up listening to John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, Lalo Schifrin and all these artists that do fantastic work writing for movies. After that, having had one under my belt, I could say I've scored a feature length project. No business has more competition in the arts than getting into movies. The only way you get into that business is to know as many people as you can -- and luck. My siblings work on production and post-production for film.
Portland: I moved here from New York to be near my brother. Every time I'd visit him, I just loved it. When I first moved here, I was constantly going back and forth to New York for work. This summer I made a point to not do anything but hang out and meet as many people as I can. I adore the playing scene here.
Portland Projects: After meeting and playing with alto saxophonist David Valdez, we decided to put together a group with organ, guitar, drums, trumpet and alto sax with George Colligan, organ, Storm Nilsen, guitar, Randy Rollofson, drums, David on alto and me on trumpet. I'll be spending the next two months writing for this group. Another project has violin, flugelhorn, two guitars, acoustic bass and drums. It's going to be a blending of Americana, bluegrass, gospel and modern "straight eighths" kind of jazz. This will be a long term thing developing over a few years.
Musical Influences: I listen to a lot of guitarists. I like Pat Metheny for how he phrases his lines. He is so dense with his phrasing, he is able to play a lot of wellcrafted material and not have a lot of space in there. Dody Dozier, John Stowell and saxophonist Brent Jensen were big influences on my development. My other biggest influences include Claudio Roditi, Kenny Wheeler, Bill Frisell, Michael Brecker, Bela Fleck, Don Grolnick, John Barry, Jerry Goldsmith, Christian McBride, Buddy Rich, Yellowjackets, Wynton Marsalis, Michael Kamen, and Maria Schneider.
Most Satisfying Experience: While in New York, I was called by a producer to arrange horn parts and play for French pop star Chimene Badi. Her record went platinum. From then on, this put me on a little bit of a higher level as an arranger.
Favorite Recordings: Pat Metheny - "The Way Up," "Speaking of Now," "Day Trip"; Joshua Redman - "Elastic"; Bill Frisell - "Bill Frisell with Dave Holland and Elvin Jones"; Kenny Wheeler - "Music for Large and Small Ensembles"; Bela Fleck and the Flecktones - "Live Art," "Outbound"; Brian Blade Fellowship - "Like a River"; Michael Brecker - "Time Is Of The Essence"; Nickel Creek - "Nickel Creek"; and Chick Corea: - "Tap Step."
Discography: "Hornology" (2012), Rotato Records/ Justin Horn; "Laisse Les Dire" (2010), Universal Music France/Chimene Badi; "Familiar Places" (2010), D Clef Records/Matt Garrison; "Snow Road" (2009), D Clef Records/Thomas Barber's Janus Bloc. Scores for more than 20 films, including the Indie feature "Love Sick" (2006), the animated short, "Operation Fish" (2006), and feature documentaries "Mania" (2008), about the Portland Trailblazers, "Rip City Stories" (2009-2011), also about the Trailblazers, and "Kings of the Road" (2009) about the Portland Buckaroos.
Future Plans: I plan to stay in Portland to play, write and teach as much as I can. I'll be spending the next two months writing for the new project with David, George, Storm and Randy. I'll be writing three new big band charts, a classical violin commission, and I'll be back in New York in December gigging.
Other: Follow the music that inspires you.

Main Street Gloom vs. Corner Office Cheer
The gulf between the outlooks of big and small companies; entrepreneurs are nearly as somber as they were a year ago
• Optimism surveys show a gulf between big and small companies
Small-business owners are almost as glum as they were a year ago when talk of "green shoots" began. Sentiment has slipped since January, according to a monthly survey of members by the National Federation of Independent Business. The group's Optimism Index, which reflects sentiment on factors ranging from profit outlook to job openings, remains roughly where it has been for the past 18 months—levels that hadn't been seen since 1980.
Big-company CEOs have a rosier view. Surveys by the Business Roundtable and the Conference Board show their confidence bottomed out more than a year ago. Top executives have expressed more hope than fear for at least two quarters.
Big companies may be less exposed than smaller ones to lingering domestic problems, says Dane Stangler, a researcher at the Kauffman Foundation. "You see a lot of commercial real estate loans held by small banks, which are the banks that loan to small business," he says.
The bottom line: Bigger companies have better access to financing than small outfits, helping them overcome the residual effects of the recession.

What is Cradle Cap and How to Get Rid of ItMolly Thornberg
Last week my daughter was holding the baby and started screaming "Mommy come quick, something is wrong with Zeke's head!"
I ran into see what was up to find that she was freaking out about his cradle cap, or as I affectionately call it, cradle crap.
After explaining what cradle cap is, she insisted we get rid of it quick, because "It's so NASTY". I agree.
Each of my babies have had it, but typically it went away in the first few months. Not for our Zekerz. The poor dude's head is covered in yellow crusty scales.
So what is cradle cap and how do you get rid of it? Here's an explanation and video (starring Zeke) on treating cradle cap.
What is Cradle Cap?
According to Wikipedia:
Cradle cap is an inflammatory skin condition that causes flaky, white to yellowish scales to form on oily areas such as the scalp or inside the ear. It can occur with or without reddened skin.
Cradle cap is the term used when seborrheic dermatitis affects the scalp of infants.
How Do You Get Rid of Cradle Cap?
Typically, since cradle cap is harmless to the baby, the doctor doesn't prescribe anything. Though there are numerous ways, here is a video showing how we treat it.
Zeke's hair is the same color as cradle cap (odd) – and just in the last few weeks has become significantly noticeable.
Here is a short video of Zeke getting his cradle cap treatment.
Learn more on how to treat cradle cap here.
Typically after a few weeks of treatments, cradle cap will subside. If left untreated, cradle cap typically disappears by the age of 1.
How Long Does Cradle Cap Last and is it Just on the Scalp:
Cradle cap typically is seen in newborns and small children up to age 3.
Seborrheic dermatitis (when not on the scalp) can be found on the eyelids, ears, around the nose and in the groin.
Pretty gross, right?

I Been to Gracelandbyjthserra©
Every week's the same, come Saturday morning I head out back and she hollers, "Where ya goin'?" I'd holler back, "I'm huntin' Elvis Ma." You'd figure she'd figure it out sooner or later. I wasn't exactly truthful; I wasn't huntin Elvis. After the first time out, I knew exactly where he was, so I didn't have to hunt him.
Now stop lookin' at me like that. Yeah, it's Elvis, Elvis Presley, the singer. Not some Las Vegas Dime Store impersonator, but the genuine Elvis. I know what you're thinkin', I thought the same when old man Charlie told me. I couldn't believe when he told me he met Elvis in an old shack two miles back in the woods. He stood there, scratchin' that stubbly slack-jaw and told me how to find Elvis. He said he'd known Elvis from back in Tupelo. That's how he knew, well, that and his eyes.
Charlie explained how Elvis' eyes changed color. Yeah, ever since he was little, if you looked real good, they start to whirlin' and suddenly, they'd turn blue, then brown and then black. Liked to made old Charlie dizzy I suspect.
Anyway, I went out to the old shack and there was a man there. I listened to him hum and sing a bit. He sounded good, but I wasn't sure until I looked deep in his eyes, then I knew. Dammit... yeah, it ain't exactly true what I just told you about Elvis's eyes. But doggone if it just doesn't seem that way when you first meet him. And knowin' old Charlie, he was probably half-tanked every time he visited Elvis.
Elvis explained it to me, you see. It's contact lenses. In order to stay what you call incognerito or whatever you call it, Elvis had these different colored contact lenses. Now every pure blooded, Elvis lovin' fan knows his eyes are a charcoal brown, so he wears different colored lenses, so no-one knows who he is. They just look real quick and then turn away: just another impersonator.
I'm just testin' you there, to see if you really are a fan. Yeah, his real eyes are blue. Blue as a cloudless Tupelo sky at noon. Blue as those suede shoes he sings about. Blue as, blue as... well blue as Tom Bitner's dog's tongue got when it caught in a fence. Well, maybe not that blue.
Well, anyway, I have fun when I go to visit Elvis, trying to guess what color his eyes'll be this time. Every Wednesday morning I wander in. He sits up on the front porch with his guitar and cane. Yeah, he has a cane, ever since he threw his hip out last summer.
And women, let me tell you 'bout Elvis and his women. I learned early you don' go visit Elvis on a Friday, no sir. You see, his woman folk come visit him on Fridays, every Friday best I can tell. I'll tell you why I know if you promise not to tell him.
Well, it goes back a ways, not a long time after I first met him. One time, I set up a fishin' trip on a Saturday, so I knew I wouldn't get to visit then, so I stopped by on a Friday to let him know I'd not be there the next day. Well, I walk up to his porch and he's not out there like he always is on a Saturday.
I scratched my head, but before I got confused, I walked over to the window and took a peek inside. Well, the room was empty, but I saw another door in there was closed. So I walked around to the side of the house and was about to tap on the window, but jus' before I did, I heard a sound, a strange moanin'.
Thinkin' Elvis might've been sick or somethin' I took a peek in the window. Oh my, but what did I see but two nekkid women and him in there. He was nekkid to, I promise. There he was in the bed with two women.
Well I looked hard and saw where the moanin' was coming from. One of those women was on her back, legs spread out wide-like and ole Elvis was kneelin' 'tween her legs. I watched his tongue slidin' right up that woman's cunny and she was a buckin' and twistin' in time. The other woman kneeled over the woman and was a suckin' her teats, first one and then the other.
I first thought maybe I should sneak away, but I never seen anythin' like that before, so I just took to watchin' more. And what I saw was somethin' else. You see that girl on her back must have willied, 'cause she suddenly threw them legs over Elvis' shoulders and bucked her ass up off that bed with a loud wail. Then she calmed back down and lay there, all the while, Elvis rested his head on her thigh. He was breathin' pretty hard and one hand was a rubbin' his jaw.
While he was a restin' the girls commenced to kissin', not just on the cheek like women sometimes do, but on the mouth with wet, slobberin' tongues. Lawd I do like what I saw, matter a fact I took to rubbin' my own wacker at that.
Anyway, Elvis finally got rested and moved the girls apart. He laid down on his back between them and began diddling with each of their teats. Now his wacker had gotten soft a bit, but I watched as it stood up hard while he diddled them. I knew he was aliken it. He took one of the women by the waist and moved her closer. She whupped her leg over him to where she was kneelin' over him. So there he was layin' on his back and this woman lowered herself down onto his wacker. The other woman reached her hand around and commenced to fondlin' his jewels.
Knowin' I was about to make a mess, I whupped out my wacker and stroked away on it while I watched them go at it. I was watching from behind, so I can't tell for sure, but I think that woman on top took to diddlin' her clit as she moved up and down on Elvis. I can't be sure, but in no time she was moanin' right along with him.
I had to catch myself from moanin' 'cause suddenly I spilled my white puddin' on the ground in tiny little spurts (I never was one to spill much pudding"). Anyway, as I was lettin' the last drops from my wacker fall away, I heard Elvis cry out, "A hunk a hunk of burning love." He arched his back, just as that woman was rubbin' herself furiously. He collapsed back on the bed and she laid forward over him.
I figured I better get to goin' so I put my wacker back in my pants. I glanced back in the window and saw that the women started kissin' each other again. Elvis was just watchin' them now, his wacker, still shiny from that woman, lay off like a limp dog.
I carefully snuck away and when I came back a little over a week later, he acted just normal to me as before. And it's been like that ever since. We talk a spell, and then he sings a bit. I still stare at his eyes when he sings, just to see if they start to whirl.
Hey, don't you go lookin' at me like that, rollin' them eyes. I ain't crazy, it's honest to worn out boots Elvis. I mean it. I tell you it is the real-fire Elvis.
Look, I been to Graceland, so I know. Yeah, I been there. I drove right up to the stone wall with all that writin' on it. Somebody else must have seen him, cause painted there on the wall it says, "Elvis lives." I read that and hollered out the window, "He sure does, he's sittin' rockin' on the front porch of an old shack off Cliburn Flea Creek." The folks just looked at me.
But I been there. I parked across the street and got on his bus. Well I didn't really get on the bus. They wanted two whole dollars to let me on that bus and another two dollars for me to get on the airplane. But I looked at the windows, all tinted dark. And on that airplane, in pretty letters Lisa Marie. I looked all around for her, but didn't see her. Hell, I'da probably had to pay a dollar if I saw her.
But you know, from across the street, you can look over at his house and boy, oh boy, what a pretty house. I could of gone and looked inside, but they wanted five dollars for that. So anyway, I went in the store there and bought a genuine Elvis plate. Actually bought two, one for me and one for Elvis. I had him wrap his up real fine. They did a good job, even if they laughed when I told them who it was for.
When I got home, I took out my Elvis plate and took a dab of Crisco and rubbed it on the plate where his hair is painted on it. I kind of streaked it over him and then looked again. Sure enough, it was Elvis, just like he is sittin' out there on that front porch.
I went out to give Elvis his plate and told him about Graceland. He just shook his head and explained why he didn't go back there anymore. He said that there's just too many people there these days. Elvis is really kind of shy, so he stays on that old front porch.
You're doin' them eyes again. I tell you he is very shy. Yeah, you say any man swings his hips that way ain't now way shy. Well I tell you he is. He explained to me how that all started on account of his momma accidentally starchin' his bunders one time. Bunders? Yeah, bunders... you know, jockeys, skivvies, underwear. Yeah, she starched his bunders and it was intolerable uncomfortable, so he took to walking funny. Well, everybody seemed to like it, so he kept on.
But that's another story. I got to go huntin' Elvis. I bought an Elvis ashtray at Nellie Bord's garage sale and I'm gonna give it to him. He likes stuff with his pictures on them. Especially the stuff from Graceland.

Home › Health & Behavior › Behavior & Discipline
Ask the Experts
By Dr. Stacie Bunning, clinical psychologist
My daughter has been mentioning lately to me that she does not feel motivated to go to school this semester. This sounds strange to me. She does not do some of her assignments or participate as expected in the classroom either. She also said that school is boring. I have asked her if there is anything going on in school that's new, or things she will like us to talk about that may be bothering her about school. She has not said anything. She says it's just me.
How can I better motivate her? We assist her with most of her assignments, but sometimes she does not even tell us she has any assignments until we contact her teachers who complain she has a lot of missing assignments and her grades are low due to this. It's not that she is not a brilliant kid either. She is.
You raise several concerns in your question, and I will address two. First, your daughter, whom you described as brilliant, told you that she felt unmotivated and that she found school boring. She also stopped participating in school and completing her assignments. It is possible that your daughter is not finding her schoolwork to be challenging enough. Sometimes very bright adolescents get to the point where routine school assignments seem stupid to them, and they feel the work is not worth their time, so they simply stop. Obviously, this cannot continue and must be addressed.
Second, I wonder if your daughter might be depressed. Changes in behavior (not doing schoolwork or participating in class) and emotions (complaining of being bored, unmotivated) can signal that something is going on. Have there been other dramatic changes in areas such as her sleep and eating habits, or appearance? Has she been isolating herself or unusually irritable? If so, these are all symptoms of depression. This, too, must be addressed.
I think a face-to-face meeting with you, your daughter, and her school counselor is necessary. From your comments it seems that communication between you and school staff could be better. You should consider setting up a regular schedule of communication with them so you can keep on top of missing assignments before it becomes too late. At the meeting, you can share your specific concerns, hear theirs, and come up with a plan of action. Follow that up with a visit to your daughter's pediatrician or general practitioner to rule out any physical issues, and if needed, get a referral to a mental health practitioner.

ISELIN -- Three women and a man escaped injury before an intense fire tore through their home Saturday night, police said.
The fire was called in just after 6 p.m., at the home on the 100 block of East George Place, Police Sgt. Joe Pucci said this morning. One of the residents was a 62-year-old man, he said. All four were able to find lodging in Edison.
Photographs show part of the roof engulfed in flames and large amounts of smoke wafting from the windows and the roof.
It was not known when the fire was brought under control or whether there were any other injuries. The Iselin Fire Department could not be immediately reached.

"Corn puppies" is slang for miniature corn dogs.
Hoodrat 1: Yo nigga i'm starving ! Hoodrat 2: Yea nigga lets go munch on some corn puppies !
av tyronenia 7. januar 2008
Trending Now
Can you define these popular missing words?
A Corn Puppy is a special kind of fart that is small but still potent. It is named after the sound it makes which resembles a short popping sound. The sound has to be a deep pop rather than a squeak or any other high pitched flatulence.
Wow Nate that was one hell of a corn puppy, you should probably stop eating burritos all the time.

Which way is west for Turkey?
November 9, 2004
When Turkey's parliament voted in March 2003 against allowing American troops to open a northern front against Iraq, Turkey's traditional strategic partnership with the United States ended. The two countries still recognise many mutual interests, but now they manage these interests on a far different basis. The vote shocked old Europe and the Arab world as much as the Bush administration. Europeans who considered Turkey a potential Trojan horse for America within the European Union were forced to reconsider. For many Arabs, the vote showed that Turkey was not an American lackey and would not cooperate with American imperial designs, despite close Turkish-Israeli relations. Long-simmering disagreements between Turkey and the US came to a boil with the emergence of the Kurds of northern Iraq as the Pentagon's main allies in the Iraq war. The American administration made it clear that military intervention by Turkey in northern Iraq would not be tolerated. That message was confirmed on July 4, 2003, when American forces arrested several Turkish Special Forces troops in the town of Suleimaniya, humiliating them by putting sacks over their head as they took them into custody. Only intervention by US Vice President Dick Cheney two-and-a-half days later secured the release of the soldiers, who were alleged to have been planning clandestine operations within the Kurdish zone. Despite ongoing tensions, the Turkish government has been eager to mend relations with America, as it is anxious to have some influence over developments in Iraq. So the authorities responded quickly to the Bush administration's request for Turkish troops to join the coalition, although the idea was stillborn rejected by both the Kurds and the American-appointed Governing Council in Iraq. America has its own reasons to patch up the relationship. Turkey's secular, capitalistic, democratic order has become especially valuable to the Bush administration as it seeks to integrate the wider Middle East into the world system by liberalising its economy and democratising its polity. Thus, America trumpeted its continuing support for Turkish membership in the EU, notably in President George Bush's speech in June at Istanbul's Galatasaray University at a bridge that joins Asia and Europe. But serious bilateral problems remain. The government is irritated by US occupation forces' neglect of the northern Iraqi bases of the PKK, the Kurdish separatist insurgents who have fought a 15-year war against Turkey. More broadly, the government regards the US as too complacent vis--vis Kurdish political developments and unmoved by Turkey's concerns about Kurdish independence. The US, for its part, is unhappy with the government's objections to unrestricted American use of the Incirlik airbase in southeastern Turkey, as well as by recent tensions with Israel. In the meantime, Turkey is moving closer to the EU, with the government overcoming nationalistic objections in the parliament to push through comprehensive reforms. Turkey also showed its goodwill over Cyprus, removing a nagging political obstacle to EU membership. These steps led to the European Commission's recent recommendation to begin accession negotiations with Turkey. The EU accession process has also underpinned a shift in Turkish policy on Iraq. Previously, Turkey viewed Iraq solely in the context of its domestic Kurdish problem. But widespread European opposition to the war removed the possibility of Turkish military intervention, forcing the government to develop another vision of Turkey's interests. At the same time, the Iraqi Kurds also appear to appreciate how much they need a friendly Turkey. The northern border with Turkey is their lifeline to the outside world. As a result, Turkey no longer considers a federalised Iraq a threat to its security, as long as each federal unit maintains a measure of ethnic diversity. Of course, Turkey remains opposed to an independent Kurdistan. But now its concern is more closely tied to regional politics than to the Kurdish issue. Turkey has no desire to serve as a strategic counterweight to Iran and believes that only a territorially intact Iraq can continue to play that role. Furthermore, Turkey is concerned about the possibility of civil war in Kurdistan between the two largest Kurdish factions. But, unlike either Iran or Syria, Turkey genuinely wishes to see a strong and representative government in Baghdad. Thanks to EU pressures, Turkey's domestic Kurdish problem is well on the way to being resolved democratically, with most Kurdish leaders in Turkey expressing their commitment to Turkish unity. For Turkey to consider military intervention in Kurdistan, EU member states would first have to renege on their commitment to negotiate Turkish accession. Equally dramatic would be any attempt by the Kurds to forcibly change the demographic balance of the multiethnic city of Kirkuk. Turkey would prefer that Kirkuk, with its large Turkmen population, be given special status in the forthcoming draft Iraqi constitution. The US also shows signs of understanding the importance of maintaining a multiethnic Kirkuk and is putting pressure on its Kurdish allies. Turkish diplomacy has thus become a well-calibrated balancing act, moving closer to European positions in the Middle East, but eager to maintain close relations with the US. If this approach succeeds, Europe's bridge to Asia may also become its bridge to America. - Soli Ozel teaches at Bilgi University and is a columnist for the Turkish daily newspaper Sabah.

City construction permits show that Kenneth Boone, arrested in connection with three area fires, regularly did repair work in downtown Charleston, including a home on Cannon Street that was the scene of a dramatic early morning fire last year.
As a contractor, Boone sought permits to do repairs in late 2010 at 48 Montagu St. after a fire damaged that home. Boone is charged with third-degree arson in that fire.
A year later, he also sought permits to work on 50 Montagu St., which also was damaged in a suspicious fire, according to records obtained under the S.C. Freedom of Information Act. He has not been charged in that fire.
We are investigating a number of fires and cant comment on suspects or possible charges at this time, said Charles Francis, public information officer for the Charleston Police Department.

red wings is a biker term for oral sex with a menstruating vagina. Similar to brown wings earned by eating a feces filled anus.
I got my red wings and brown wings the same night at the same party!

When a man is about to perform oral sex on a woman and she is on the rag,he goes down on her and grabs the tampon string with his teeth,pull it out and swings it from side to side slapping his cheeks with the tampon giving himself red wings.
Monica was on the rag last week so I got my red wings.

SBOE Could Give Schools More Control Over New Exams
In early February, Texas Education Agency chief Robert Scott stood before 6,000 school administrators who had just seen an initial budget from the Legislature that cut $10 billion in state funding from public education.
One question drew cheers from the otherwise grim crowd: If there was no money, would the state still have to roll out STAAR, the new, more rigorous student assessment system?
The answer, it turns out, was yes. Now, eight months later, the State Board of Education may try to modify the system in a way that allays school districts' concerns.

Eric Simmons sat his coach's office on Thursday morning in a mental fog. He couldn't wrap his mind around what was happening to him.
The Iowa Western Community College Offensive Lineman has just committed to the University of Iowa to play football shortly after receiving a scholarship offer. The Hawkeyes only began pursuing the former Madrid (Iowa) High standout for this year's class.
"I'm kind of in shock still," Simmons said. "It all just happened this morning. It hasn't really settled in. But, I'm ecstatic right now."
Simmons becomes the 18th known commitment in Iowa's 2012 recruiting class. The 6-foot-3, 295-pounder will have four years to play three at Iowa.
"(The Hawkeyes) are getting a great kid," Iowa Western Coach Scott Strohmeier said. "He's an unbelievable kid. He works extremely hard and developed into a really good leader. You have to give a lot of credit to the type of program they run at Madrid.
"Our job was easy. We got a great kid who maybe some people overlooked. He came in with a chip on his shoulder and wanted to prove something."
Simmons said that he didn't have an delusions while playing at Madrid. He knew getting to the top level of college football might require traveling an alternate path.
"Being from a small school, I kind of expected that," he said. "I didn't expect there to be big recruiting. It obviously motivated me to get better, though."
Simmons played center at Iowa Western. Hawkeye Offensive Line Coach Reese Morgan told Strohmeier that he wanted to look at Simmons at guard and center.
"He's just got a great upside," Strohmeier said of Simmons." He's a great student. He was a president's scholarship here."
Simmons intends on studying engineering at Iowa. If the paperwork goes through in time, he will be moving to Iowa City this weekend starting classes on Tuesday.
After the first three games of the season, Simmons picked up full-ride scholarship offers from Youngstown State and Northern Iowa, Strohmeier said.
"Reese Morgan liked him out of high school," the Iowa Western Coach said. "For whatever reason, he wasn't a guy they went after in high school. I think when they lost their tackle (Riley Reiff) to the NFL and a scholarship opened up with Dan Heiar (former of Iowa Western) leaving, that opened the door for Eric.
"He wasn't on their recruiting radar from the get-up. We were talking to them about next year with Eric."
Simmons wasn't concerned about getting to a higher level of football this year with another season at Iowa Western possible.
"They never really talked to me about a scholarship," he said. "Then I got the second call. Even though it's happening fast, it all worked out just fine."

Welcome aboard!
Hello all!!
I am currently living in Mexico City but have plans to move back to the states later this year. Either California or Texas. I have been reading posts on this site for some time now because I have been trying to find a healthy diet that will work for me. I was vegan for a while and then I figured out that that diet was NOT healthy at all. Someone told me about this site and the rest is history.
I bought the book recently and have started reading it. Very interesting and logical. I am in the transitional phase now and hope to be 100% soon. I'm still trying to get dairy out of my life completely and bread, but I feel like the bread helps when I eat it right before working out. I guess I have said enough and I am looking forward to chating with you all!
Welcome aboard!
Good luck on your journey! You are in the right place - this forum kicks ass to say the least!
Find me at aToadontheRoad.com. Cheers!
Thanks guys! It does seem like this site has all the information one needs.
You've gotta dump the bread. If you need carbs before a workout, maybe try some sweet potato.
Newcomers: If you haven't read the book, at least read this thread ... and all the links!

on October 21, 2012 - 12:01 AM
The Erie County Industrial Development Agency took a step in the right direction the other day by launching a six-month countywide review of the policies that determine whether redevelopment projects merit taxpayer incentives.
The move should help better define and differentiate between a redevelopment project and one that involves true industrial development.
But it likely won't end the controversy surrounding how the five suburban IDAs choose to dole out incentives. Nor will it produce the magic formula for consolidating the six IDAs in Erie County. In recent years, the suburban agencies have given questionable tax breaks to some businesses.
One of the most egregious came from the Amherst IDA, which provided about $585,000 in tax breaks to Premier Wine and Spirits to help underwrite its move from Delaware Avenue in the Town of Tonawanda to Maple Road in Amherst. Only 10 new jobs were created. And that $585,000 came from all county taxpayers, not just those in Amherst, meaning Tonawanda residents helped fund the pilfering of Premier.
Unfortunately, there is little agreement among the IDAs on the right and wrong of funding projects that go beyond the traditional industrial development for which all the agencies were initially created. Traditional means a project that has nothing to do with the type of building or where it is located, or the type of site. It is all about creating or keeping good jobs. Too many tax breaks these days go for restaurants, stores and medical offices with the goal of improving a neighborhood.
There has been a frame of reference for industrial development, but there hasn't been a frame for what are now being called "redevelopment projects," or "community development projects," which are totally unlike industrial development. It doesn't matter so much what happens at the site. Rather, the point is to preserve or improve buildings and clean up sites to improve a particular neighborhood.
That multifaceted utilization applied to projects by the suburban agencies has led to accusations of irresponsible economic development because many of the tax breaks granted in recent years have gone to those community development, or redevelopment, projects.
The ECIDA correctly concluded that it can head off questions by having in place a common frame of reference to be followed with regard to community development projects.
In communities around the country, there is a belief that the more a community embraces "placemaking," or the many-faceted quality of the place, the stronger it will be. The path the ECIDA is going down is to take the current policies that have been at question– adaptive reuse and "enhancement zones" – and create a redevelopment policy with logical tiers of incentives.
The ECIDA has agreed that redevelopment is a goal that should be pursued, and agreed to start a collaborative process to come up with a specific policy for those tiered incentives – all in six months. The suburban industrial development agencies should follow suit.

(Editor's note: This month, we asked Tribune readers to share their holiday memories.)
The year was 1941. Her family lived on 80 acres in Oskaloosa, Iowa. Robert and Mary farmed and struggled to raise seven children. Even with five boys to help, turning a living out of the rich Midwest soil was a challenge.
This Christmas was a normal cold snowy holiday. Their four youngest children walked the four miles to the one-room "West Weaver" school house on RR 3. Miss Onstine, the spinster schoolmarm, lived with her parents close to the old school. She arrived early to stoke the coal stove and warm the room before the eight students arrived. This Friday was special for it was the last school day before their week off for Christmas! There would be less "schooling" and more games played inside today and finally they would exchange gifts with each other, whose names they had drawn the week before.
Little did young Mary know, but the gift she received from her classmate, Letha, would start a lifelong habit that we now call journaling. Mary was 13 years old and in the seventh grade. That day she received a five-year diary. What would she write in it? Whatever would be interesting enough to write down for this poor farm girl?
That was 71 years ago. In January 2012, Mary started her 15th five-year diary. They began with a young girl's dreams ... worried as three of her brothers went to war ... saw her father grow old and sell their farm. Still, she kept writing! She and her sister Sarah got married and life was filled with new experiences. Many days had nothing more to write about except the weather or how many eggs her hens laid. When the babies came there was so much more to write about but so much less time! Yet she kept writing year after year, diary after diary! Mary saw her twins George and Sue, and their little sister Janet grow up. She went to work outside the home for the first time. She saw her children marry and the birth of two grandsons.
Mary then retired and moved to Eaton. Those diaries just kept getting filled! Now at 84 years old, Mary is happy to be in that 15th diary. She has them all boxed and put away. She tells her kids they can read them all when she is gone. They can read what that young girl's life was like, all the boring days, all the exciting firsts. There's a real treasure in those diaries. This will be the 71st Christmas of her journaling life. What stories will we find her writing about? It must be a record; not a day left out in 71 years. Who would have thought such a tradition would have started in that little one-room school house for a 13-year-old country girl … celebrating Christmas on cold blustery day in rural Iowa.
That girl, this lady, is my mother Mary Morris, I am Janet, her youngest. Maybe someday I will tell another story … about another Christmas … about the same girl as she grows up.
Janet Morris is the
youngest daughter of
Mary Morris of Eaton.

Game maker Electronic Arts is adding more diversity to its new multiplayer online role-playing game Star Wars: The Old Republic — characters in same-sex relationships and plot lines.
Because of this, the company is coming under fire from some unlikely contingents for the gaming world — anti-gay conservative groups such as the Florida Family Association and the Family Research Council.
"There were no LGBT [Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender] characters in any of the Star Wars movies," the Florida Family Association declared on its Web site. "So if BioWare, the maker of Star Wars video games, adds LGBT characters for kids to select as their action character it could be something like Darth RuPaula, a combination of Darth Vader, one of the most popular Star Wars characters, and RuPaul, the renown transgender cross dresser."
This conservative group has started a letter writing campaign urging people to write EA and say they will boycott the company unless it agrees to remove the same-sex characters. It also alleges that "queer activists" have pressured the game maker to include gay characters in the Star Wars game.
However, EA has said it has no plans to eliminate any of its characters or censor any of its games. EA is a wildly popular game maker, whose repertoire includes SimCity, The Simpsons, and Mass Effect. Star Wars: The Old Republic has sold more than 2 million copies. By making the decision to add same-sex characters to its online games, EA has become a pioneer in both the gaming community and the gay rights movement.
"EA has not been pressured by any groups to include LGBT characters in our games. However, we have met with LBGT groups and sponsored industry forums to discuss content and harassment of players in online forums. In short, we do put options for same-sex relationships in our games; we don't tolerate hate speech on our forums," Jeff Brown, vice president of corporate communications for EA, told GamesIndustry in an interview last week. "This isn't about protecting children, it's about political harassment."
EA plans to add same-sex characters to its mega-popular Mass Effect 3 game also.
