Q: I'm going to New York, and I have developed this kind of irrational fear of bedbugs. I'm staying at the Hilton in midtown, and someone on Yelp (I hope just someone who hates the Hilton) said something about bedbugs. Now I can't shake the fear that I'm going to bring home pests in my suitcase. Can you talk off me this ledge, or at least put my fear in context?
A: Bedbugs are a fact of life. And they're all over New York. Not only have hotels been hit with them, but stores, including Nike, Victoria's Secret, Abercrombie, etc., have been forced to close to deal with infestations.
That said, chances are you won't be infested. But take precautions: Pull back the sheets and check the mattress creases for the small bugs , their droppings and any blood spots. Use the luggage rack, not the bed, for your suitcase. Inspect your suitcase when you get home before you bring it into the house. And check Bedbugregistry for outbreaks (I tend to believe it more when there are multiple mentions). Finally, although they are gross, they don't carry disease.
Q: My husband and I are expecting a baby in the spring and would love to get away alone before that. We can't go before January. I'm thinking of trying the Caribbean for some warmth; we're not big beach people, but we love nature. I hear St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands, has a natural setting. Do you have any other recommendations? And isn't January a high season for the Caribbean? Will prices be insane?
A: January is high season, but if you go after the holidays, you will see lower rates before they pick up again in February. I call it the Hangover Period. St. John is so natural and low-key. You can fly to St. Thomas and take the ferry over. Also consider Puerto Rico, which has so many different ecosystems: the rain forest, coffee plantations, the surfing beaches of the west coast, the undeveloped beaches of Vieques.
Q. We are planning a trip to Italy and Greece next summer, and we would like to bring along a small communications tool so we can keep in touch with parents and children by e-mail. What would you recommend?
A. Because you seem more interested in e-mail than phone calls, I'd skip carrying any electronic device. Instead, pop into Internet cafes, which are popular in both Italy and Greece. You'll get doses of culture and caffeine while connecting to your loved ones. Some hotels have computers you can use for a fee. Just be sure you can access your e-mail account via the Internet; Earthlink, Yahoo and Hotmail are all Web-based.
If you really want something you can carry around, get a smart phone, but keep several things in mind. You probably will need an international roaming and data plan for overseas coverage. You could incur roaming charges when the phone checks for incoming messages (automatic roaming for data can be turned off; ask your service provider for details). Also be aware that you will be charged for incoming calls even if you don't pick them up, so it may cost a pretty penny to get that solicitation for the upcoming school bake sale. Smart travelers check cost and connectivity thoroughly with their service providers before bringing a smart phone to Europe.
Q: My son doesn't have a credit card, but he has a debit card. When he tried to pick up a rental car at Enterprise in Portland, Ore., the agent said he had to have a credit card to get the car. They finally let him use his debit card but at a higher rental rate. What's the problem?
A: More Americans are trying to use credit cards judiciously, but when you pick up a rental car, most companies want to swipe a credit card. That's even if you plan to pay for the car at turn-in with cash or a debit card.
Some firms accept a debit card at pick-up -- with a catch. They will put a "hold" (that is, freeze money in your checking account) for as much as $500 -- money you'll eventually be refunded, but not for three to five business days after you turn in the car. They also might do an immediate credit check on you.
Your son learned a hard lesson. Next time, he should call ahead to make sure his debit card will be accepted.

Company says decision is based on evolving standards of care for mCRC.[© Bozworthington - Fotolia.com]
Enzon Pharmaceuticals is shelving further development of its PEG-SN38 (EZN-2208) PEGylated irinotecan metabolite oncology candidate for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) therapy at the end of its current Phase II study. The move has been made in light of what the firm calls evolving standards of care for mCRC, and the decision to concentrate clinical trials resources to "areas of study with nearer-term commercial potential," notes Richard Mulligan, Ph.D., vice chair of Enzon's board of directors.
Discontinuation of the mCRC program doesn't preclude future evaluation of PEG-SN38 in the treatment of earlier stages of colorectal cancer, Dr. Mulligan notes. Ongoing PEG-SN38 studies in other indications will also not be affected. These include a Phase II study in metastatic breast cancer, a Phase I trial in pediatric cancer, and a Phase I combination study assessing PEG-SN38 plus Avastin® in solid tumors.
SN38 is an active metabolite of the cancer drug irinotecan. PEG-SN38 has been developed using Enzon's PEGylation technology to offer therapeutic advantages over unmodified SN38 and its currently marketed prodrug, Camptosar. The firm claims its PEGylated version PEG-SN38 allows for parental delivery, increased solubility, higher exposure, and longer apparent half-life of the cancer to SN38.

Federal regulators have charged the former chief of Countrywide Financial with fraud and illegal insider trading.
The Securities and Exchange Commission accuses Angelo Mozilo and two other Countrywide executives of deliberately misleading investors about the company's risky lending practices.
The government claims that in 2006, Mozilo knew Countrywide was engaged in lax lending practices and headed for collapse -- even as investors were assured all was fine.
"The real Countrywide only seen from the inside was one buckling under the weight of deteriorating mortgages, lax underwriting, and an increasingly suspect biz model," said Robert Khuzami, director of the SEC's division of enforcement.
Mozilo has denied any wrongdoing. His attorney calls the SEC's allegations in the civil suit "baseless."

Whether or not as a fan you are on board with the Seahawks selecting a receiver with the fourth overall selection, it is good to have choices.
The National Football Post is reporting that both Michael Crabtree and Jeremy Maclin are declaring themselves eligible for the draft. They will be the first two receivers taken off the board in April. This adds heavily to the current class of receivers, which was lacking top end talent. At worst, it likely pushes some of the later options further down the board where the Hawks can maybe find value.
Also of note here is that Chris "Beanie" Wells will also declare. It seems unlikely the injury-prone running back will be an option at pick 4, although he's in the conversation now that he has declared. Wells and underclassmen Knoshon Moreno, who declared yesterday, are the two top running backs available.
Keep up to date with all the info about the Seahawks' draft choices from friend of the blog Rob Station and his '09 Seahawks Draft Blog. ~END~

After the first so-called Gulf War -- which some might also refer to as "Iraq War I," "Desert Shield" or "Daddy vs. The Bad Man" -- it's arguable that the ground soldier became, at that time, obsolete. In fact, one could argue the very same thing after the second Gulf War, at least the part where we dropped bombs all over the place, everyone whooped it up like kids winning a video game, and our President set up some cameras on an aircraft carrier and declared victory.
However, with more than 2000 soldiers now dead, one would certainly not argue the ground soldier's obsolescence any longer. We've discovered that a soldier's true value lies not only in defeating the enemy, but in keeping the peace as well.
While being generally apolitical, director Sam Mendes's version of Anthony Swofford's memoir "Jarhead" dawdles with Swofford (Jake Gyllenhaal) and his Marine buddies during Gulf War I. Their unit provides the metaphor for the differences between the old warfare and the new. Essentially, Mendes, and perhaps Swofford as well, sees these men as existing in some kind of military strategy void. They have less to do than George W. Bush in the National Guard. Sharpshooter Swofford and his partner, Troy (Peter Sarsgaard), never even fire their weapons.
By side-stepping any political minefields while declaring the soldier's role shifted from integral hunter to bored, masturbating miscreant, Mendes gives his movie a pointless feel from the very start. This feeling is exacerbated by the inescapable contrast with the current reality of the troops on the ground trying to keep the peace in Iraq, fearing for their lives day after day.
The movie's opening scene is a red-headed stepchild rehash of R. Lee Ermey's profane tirade as Gunnery Sgt. Hartman in front of his charges from "Full Metal Jacket," itself an extension of Louis Gossett Jr.'s performance in "An Officer and a Gentleman." That the scene itself is cinematically futile is high irony in a film about futility.
What the film then boils down to is a series of moments, all tied together by the setting. Unfortunately, the film never escapes the monotonous situation of its characters. The film is its characters, and this limitation proves to be its primary failure. The only new thing about this group is that Kuhn (Lucas Black) talks back to Staff Sgt. Siek (Jamie Foxx) and isn't thrown in the brig. However, if the Marines have changed the chain of command to include a "debate zone" between commanding officers and their soldiers, it's news to me and probably news to most Marines.
Like the real-life situation Anthony Swofford found himself in, "Jarhead" is just plain dull.

So i have the chance to buy a thompson full auto conversion for 111500. Is that a good price
If you enjoyed reading about "full auto Tommy gun" here in TheHighRoad.org archive, you'll LOVE our community. Come join
today for the full version!
October 16, 2011, 04:08 PM
Oh yea!
111 thousand 5 hundred is a very good price!
For the seller!
Is it a pre-1986 registered conversion?
And how much is the price really?
October 16, 2011, 04:13 PM
Yes its a pre 86
My bad the price is 11500. Ha sorry bout that
October 16, 2011, 04:18 PM
who made it? is it an orig ww2 or newer make?
October 16, 2011, 04:21 PM
It is auto ordinance. The gun was made in the semi auto. Then legally converted to fully automatic. It was done by broadhead armory
October 16, 2011, 06:43 PM
I have been wanting a thompson. However this conversion is full auto only. Thought i would add that detail.
October 16, 2011, 07:07 PM
I would think that is an ok price if it's mechanically sound and all the paperwork is in order.
I don't know much about the converted AO guns though.
October 16, 2011, 07:17 PM
Yeah the gun is good. Professionally converted. So ive been told and seen.
October 16, 2011, 07:38 PM
I had a chance to buy a Thompson for a grand back in the 80's. I had the money, but the local pd wouldn't approve the sale. Maybe if I hired an knowledgeable attorney I might have got it, but who has the $$$ for an attorney especially one that's worth his salt?
October 16, 2011, 07:46 PM
You should have created a living trust. That way u dont need a cleo signature or finger prints. They only cost bout 100 dollars
October 16, 2011, 08:18 PM
The semiauto Thompsons made in the 1970's-80's by Auto Ordnance/Numrich were quite different from the full auto Thompsons (receiver dimensions, etc.). This was so that the full-auto parts could not be substituted without heavy modification. Yes, they could have been legally converted to full auto (with a lot of work), but this still wouldn't make them "real" full auto Thompsons. Note that at about the same time, Numrich was also making the so-called "West Hurley" full auto Thompsons, that were closer to the original specs, but still markedly inferior in quality. (At one time, I owned both a original WWII Thompson and a West Hurley gun, and placing them side by side, there was no comparison -- the West Hurley gun clearly was an inferior copy, mainly because of the loose tolerances and the shoddy aftermarket parts used when the GI parts dried up.)
West Hurley guns have been brought up to snuff, but it takes a Thompson expert with access to the right parts to do it. In any case, I would stay away from the converted semiauto Thompson. For about the same money, you can get a West Hurley gun -- that started out as a full auto -- and then have it worked on if necessary. (The West Hurley is now also classified as a "Curio or Relic" by the ATF.)
October 16, 2011, 08:23 PM
Yeah. The gun is marked west Hurley. It is not going to the same as a true ww2 but it fits my budget
October 16, 2011, 10:15 PM
You should have created a living trust. That way u dont need a cleo signature or finger prints. They only cost bout 100 dollars
Living trusts were not accepted by the ATF until a court case was settled in 2000. Back in the 80s it was common for chief LEOs to deny all requests for automatic weapons.
October 16, 2011, 10:30 PM
Hmmm i didnt know that. Well im still conflicted. Do i go for the gun or not?
October 17, 2011, 01:12 AM
I personally think you should pass on this one. At $11,500, you're within striking distance of getting at least a West Hurley that was originally made with the full-auto receiver dimensions. This will be very important down the road, regarding parts interchangeability, etc. The days of rapid price escalations in machine guns are over (mainly due to the lousy economy), so you shouldn't feel pressure to jump on the bandwagon right now.
Bear in mind also that a Thompson is something that has sentimental and historical importance that outweighs its practical usefulness as a weapon (it's too heavy and awkward in use). If you're looking for a practical weapon, a registered-receiver M16 would be a better bet at about the same price. On the other hand, if you want a wall hanger, you can put together a very nice display (non-firing) Thompson, using an IMA parts kit and Philadelphia Ordnance receiver, for about $2,000 -- and this would have no legal red tape and be more "authentic," in its way, than a West Hurley Thompson.
But what can I say? If you really want it, go for it.

I have to agree. I've casually followed prices on full auto Thompsons a long time; eventually going to get one. This seems out of line for what it is, and something better not out of sight.

Im just looking for something to plink with (full auto 45) at the range. Im not extremly worried about parts. The gun is a tommy. It will use tommy parts i am also seeing other original full autos go for 20000+

The only extra part needed since 96 was a stock.

No way would I buy a converted Thompson for $11500. Partly because I'm really not a fan of the Thompson, and partly because there are so many other, better machine guns you could get for that price or less. I bought a gorgeous C&R Vickers gun a couple months ago for $12000 - not a chance I'd swap that for a non-original Thompson. A quick glance at Sturmgewehr tells me that $11500 will get you an 08/15 Maxim, almost two AC556 Rugers, three or four MACs, two or three Reisings, etc.

I recently looked and found a west Hurley Thompson full auto. It turns out to be cheaper, because the price is put the door. If an admin or moderator could lock this i found my answer

FAU Cyberbullying Expert to Discuss Personal Internet Responsibility and Safety with Students
BOCA RATON, FL (September 16, 2011) – Sameer Hinduja, Ph.D., an associate professor in the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice within the College for Design and Social Inquiry at Florida Atlantic University, will present "Don't Post Your Rep Away! Text, Sext & Internet Safety," to more than 500 FAU students on Monday, September 19, at 7 p.m. in the Carole and Barry Kaye Auditorium, FAU Student Union, 777 Glades Road, Boca Raton campus.
"Most students are fairly responsible with the type of information they post to their social networking profiles," said Hinduja. "However, there are a number who include too many personal, private or provocative details, and their profiles are not as 'locked down' as they think they are. We want students to embrace all that these sites and technologies have to offer, but we don't want them sabotaging their future. I've seen personal and professional damage occur to individuals who posted or sent something online that will plague them for the rest of their lives. It's just important to talk this out with FAU students so that they truly understand what can happen."
Hinduja, also the co-director of the Cyberbullying Research Center, works nationally and internationally with schools, law enforcement, businesses, parents and adolescents to reduce online victimization and its real-world consequences. His newest book, Cyberbullying Prevention and Response: Expert Perspectives (Routledge, 2011), provides a comprehensive, up-to-date look at the major issues that teachers, school administrators, counselors, social workers and parents need to know to promote safe and responsible interactions in cyberspace.
Co-sponsored by FAU's Program Board and Alpha Delta Pi sorority, the lecture is part of FAU's fifth annual Safety Month. A variety of safety-related events and programs will take place throughout the month, all designed to bring attention to a broad spectrum of issues that impact the safety of students, faculty, staff and visitors. For more information, visit www.fau.edu/safetymonth.
-FAU-Florida Atlantic University, established in 1961, officially opened its doors in 1964 as the fifth public university in Florida. In commemoration of its origin, FAU is celebrating its 50th anniversary throughout 2011. Today, the University serves more than 29,000 undergraduate and graduate students on seven campuses and sites.

DUVALL--Two years ago, the Seattle Western Swing Society decided to budget $1,000 to give to a school with a strong music program.
Swing Society member Robin Deeter, a Duvall resident, searched high and low for a deserving school. She ended up finding it in her own back yard.
Deeter said parent involvement was what she was looking for and found it one day early this March when she noticed a Cedarcrest High School group called R.H.Y.T.H.M. was hosting a dinner dance featuring Larry Prig and the Resurrected Swing Band.
Investigating further, she found that R.H.Y.T.H.M.--Riverview Helping Youth to Have Music--is a dedicated group of parents, students, and staff who provide volunteer assistance for classes, concerts, and community events, and raises funds for scholarships, equipment, and uniforms. It was formed about seven years ago by a group of parents who were concerned over music education in schools.
Last week, Deeter handed over a $1,000 check to the organization. Out of that, $500 will go to a scholarship for a graduating senior, and $500 will be distributed to needy students for music camp.
"We hope to renew this yearly," Deeter said. "And in return, we would like to be informed of the progress of the students. We have several benefactors who have contributed who are interested in hearing about the students."
The Seattle Swing Society, a group of music lovers and performers, is based in Seattle, but has membership "all over," Deeter said. "Its purpose is the preservation and promotion of Western Swing. We were so impressed with the Cedarcrest organization that the board passed the grant unanimously."
Sara Lambert, R.H.Y.T.H.M. treasurer, explained that the group is like a "...PTA for music. We want to inspire kids to better music." She noted that the music program and band are growing every year. "The kids want it," she said.
Indeed, the high school students say it is an excellent program. Choir members Sarah Kintner, a sophomore, and Morgan Luce, a freshman, agreed the program has helped them out a lot.
"(Former R.H.Y.T.H.M. director) Ryan Lewis was very good at getting us involved," said Sarah.
Lucy Yetter recently replaced Lewis, who was called away for Army Reserve training.
Choir president Nicole Morck, a junior, said a lot of her friends are involved in music. Nicole said she has jazz choir practice at 6:30 a.m. three days a week, and Color Guard after school for two days a week. "It keeps me out of trouble," she said.

UPDATE: Deniece Williams has issued the following statement:
"I was shocked to hear that I am accused of being a slum homeowner in Cherry Hill, NJ. This is a case of mistaken identity. The owner of the house and I share the same name and that is all. I am disappointed that the media, the township representatives and neighbors did not do their research properly along with doing their due diligence in finding out who the actual owner of this property is, but instead jumped at an opportunity to slander me. Shame on you! I love New Jersey and I hope that the actual owner will be able to finish the house."
CHERRY HILL — A home Grammy award winning singer Deniece Williams began building in Cherry Hill now sits vacant covered in plastic.
Construction on the planned $2.4 million, 20,000–square foot structure halted in 2010, but no one knows why, according to a report from Philly.com. Her construction permits are valid through 2014, the report said, and there are no outstanding liens or citations against the property.
"We've heard from a number of residents through the years," Cherry Hill spokesman Bridget Palmer told Philly.com. "This has been frustrating for a number of years."
Neighbors say they are tired of looking at the unfinished property that sits on 1138 Winding Drive, and have safety concerns as well.
The site is "depressing, frankly speaking," neighbor Dr. Klara Alperstein told CBS Philadelphia. "We are concerned each time there is a huge storm, and we've had some big ones, whether part of the building will fly into our property."
Williams is best-known for her chart-topping hit "Let's Hear it for the Boy" in 1984. She achieved her greatest success in the 1970s and 1980s, becoming a backup vocalist for Stevie Wonder.

AUSTIN (AP) - State Sen. Gonzalo Barrientos, D-Austin, was arrested Wednesday morning on drunken driving charges, the Austin Police Department said.
Barrientos was stopped about 12:30 a.m. in downtown Austin and charged with driving while intoxicated, police spokesman Adam Shaivitz said.
Barrientos, 60, was taken to the Travis County Jail, where he was released shortly after 4 a.m. after posting $1,500 bond through his attorney, Bill Fitzgerald, said Roger Wade, the spokesman for the Travis County Sheriff's Office.
The long-serving state senator did not immediately return calls from The Associated Press and an assistant in his senate office said Wednesday morning that he had no information about the arrest. A message left at the office Wednesday afternoon was not returned.
In a statement, Barriento's attorney, Fitzgerald, said "it was an unfortunate circumstance here at Thanksgiving and we hope to resolve the matter as soon as possible."

Talking to a Toddler About Firearms and Farm PredatorsJessie Knadler
Jake was met with an unpleasant surprise this morning when he went to check on the laying hens and saw a raccoon nestled in the rafters of the Hen Hut. Three hens had already been decapitated — a raccoon's signature kill move — with their bodies strewn about while all the other hens huddled in a corner. The raccoon appeared to be resting before beginning another rampage.
A two second scan of the area revealed the raccoon had climbed in through the small air space between the roof and the side walls, made possible after Jake had moved the portable electric fence late last night in preparation of moving the Hen Hut (pictured) this morning. He had locked the hens inside the Hen Hut last night, thinking they'd be safe. But raccoons, he was sorely reminded, can scale walls as effortlessly as a spider.
Jake raced inside the house and grabbed his shot gun. It is very rare to find a raccoon mid-hunt, particularly in the morning as most do their dirty work under darkness, so he didn't want to miss his chance. He raced back outside with his rifle and, from the kitchen, June and I heard the blam! blam! of gunfire. (Jake is a crack shot.) The raccoon was dead, disposed of in the sink hole, followed by three headless chickens (our sink hole has been a fine repository for all sorts of critters over the years).
The situation opened up a peculiar dialogue between June and I in the kitchen.
"What's that, Mommy?" she asked after hearing the shots.
"A gun," I said.
"Daddy had to get the raccoon because he…killed…our chickens." I winced a little when using this word but she's seen us kill plenty of chickens ourselves on processing day. And speaking in toddler code seemed too touchy feel-y and vague considering the gravity of the situation ("the bad raccoon made three of our chickens go far, far away," or some such). It seemed less complicated in the long run to give her the cold, hard truth. June, meanwhile, looked very, very concerned.
"Oh," she said.
When Jake came back in the house, she asked him about the gun, what's it for, and whether she could see the raccoon and the chickens. He also kept his answers short and truthful. "It's a gun, it's very dangerous, no, you can't hold it, it's used to kill animals that hurt our chickens, and no, you can't see the raccoon because it's dead."
She seemed to accept this response and went back to talking about her kitty purse.
It's weird to use direct language like this with a toddler, but it would have felt disingenuous to speak otherwise considering the amount of chicken death she's witnessed already. Besides, this is our lifestyle; no sense sugar coating it into some fairy dusted country song.
What do you think? is there a "better" way to talk to a toddler about firearms and farm predators?

The Secret Piano
My mother's a pianist, and right now my mind's still in China, so this book caught my eye: The Secret Piano: From Mao's Labor Camps to Bach's Goldberg Variations, by Zhu Xiao-Mei.
I've ordered the The Secret Piano to read on my Kindle. It's just $.99. I can't tell if that's the regular price or a special for today.
Zhu Xiao-Mei was just ten years old when she began a rigorous course of study at the Beijing Conservatory, laying the groundwork for what was sure to be an extraordinary career. But in 1966, when Xiao-Mei was seventeen, the Cultural Revolution began. . . . One by one, her family members were scattered, sentenced to prison or labor camps. By 1969, the art schools had closed, and Xiao-Mei was on her way to a work camp in Mongolia, where she would spend the next five years. Life in the camp was nearly unbearable, thanks to horrific living conditions and intensive brainwashing campaigns. Yet through it all Xiao-Mei clung to her passion for music and her sense of humor. And when the Revolution ended, it was the piano that helped her to heal. (from Amazon product review)
She lives in Paris now and has recorded The Goldberg Variations and much more.

Hi Noel,
Would this be an appropriate read for my 15 year old daughter who is a classical pianist? I'm most concerned about how graphic it gets–war isn't pretty! Thanks for your opinion :)
Beautiful Interpretation, Glory to God, really an excellent performance with great talent, could not be performed with greater passion.
Exhilarating, lovely and full.
Can I say it again? "God moves in a mysterious way."

Gould indicted in ex-girlfriend's death
Published 4:11 PM EDT Sep 26, 2012
An Orlando man has been indicted in connection with the shooting death of a Dr. Phillips mom last month.
The attorney for Jorgete Acarie confirms 33-year-old Kristopher Gould, Acarie's former boyfriend and the father of her son, has been indicted for first-degree murder by an Orange County grand jury.
Gould is suspected of stalking Acarie, throwing a brick through her window and then shooting her to death in front of their 2-year-old son.
Acarie's family has begun the process of terminating Gould's parental rights.
He's jailed in Volusia County on unrelated charges.

Justin Bieber has finally fought back at his recent critics who have taken him to task over his behavior – late concert appearances, cancelations and heated exchanges with photographers.
In a lengthy rant posted, then taken down, then reposted in an amended version on his Instagram account on Thursday, the singer defended himself, to counter what he called "countless lies in the press right now."
He particularly took issue with rumors that "I'm going to rehab and how my family is disappointed in me."
"If anyone believes I need rehab that's their own stupidity," Bieber wrote. "LOL. I'm 19 with 5 number one albums, 19 and I've seen the whole world. 19 and I've accomplished more than I could've ever dreamed of. I'm 19 and it must be scary to some people to think that this is just the beginning."
His post came with a photo of him interacting with his fans. He noted that while media accounts have savaged him, his family was supportive and proud of his success, even as one report suggested his grandparents were upset about the company he has been keeping.
"My family is beyond proud, and nothing's been said by them, my grandparents wouldn't know how to reach to press even of they did want to so that was a lie and rehab c'mon," Bieber wrote.
Later on Friday morning, Bieber explained why he revised his initial Instagram post, telling PEOPLE in a statement: "My post was only up for a few minutes but I realized right away that what I said at the end was wrong and distracted from what I was trying to say. I immediately deleted it and rewrote it so it would show what I was really feeling and those words are up now."
His own response to the world about his life came after his manager Scooter Braun also publicly spoke out to E! News about allegations that Bieber was not doing well.
"There's nothing wrong with him," Braun told E! News. "He's in a great place."
Explaining why there were two versions of his message, Bieber said in a statement delivered by his spokesperson to MTV News: "My post was only up for a few minutes but I realized right away that what I said at the end was wrong and distracted from what I was trying to say."
Among the comments he deleted was this (spelling his): "And to those comparing me to Lindsey Lohan," he wrote, "Look at her 2012 tax statements ;)"

Here's a look at some of the celebrities we've lost so far in 2016.
MADISON, Wis.--A west Madison store is part of an effort to collect hundreds of stuffed animals to donate to six police departments in Southern Wisconsin.
Todd Merryfield, owner of The Learning Shop at 714 S. Gammon Road, said the store is collecting the bears for officers who use them to help comfort children with whom police come in contact.
"This is a great way to support what (police) do," Merryfield said. "Those are the kids that need something like this to reassure them, calm them down, and let them know that things are all right."
Nearly 500 plush animals were donated Tuesday, a Learning Shop spokeswoman said. The Madison store's effort is part of a larger initiative through the Bears for Humanity organization.

Cheery Flowers
Sadly, the photos don't show the purples. They look more like blues.....but they are still cheery, just the same.
Here are some random flowers.
Then some daisy-type flowers. I like this simple shape because it is much less break-able than the ones above (better for mailing), but they seem a little plain this way.
I love these little cuties! They are 2" cookies beaming with happiness. :-)
Of course I made some quilts with all the bright colors. :-))))))
And then some quilted flowers too. lol
And finally, Maryann inspired me with her bundle of sunflowers. I changed it up with an assortment of flowers and colors. Boy, I love these (but they sure did take along time to make them!)
Here's a close up....
Next week I'll be back to the burnt oranges, browns, and golds to make lots of thanksgiving cookies. Hope you enjoyed the change of seasons. lol

OH MY GOODNESS! How gorgeous!!!!!!
They look absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to me!!
I would have to spend a week looking at how you get the "quilted look" on them :-)

I must ask, how are you doing the quilting method?

Love them all, Pam!!! All the tiny details are great... That bundle of flowers is amazing... can you share where you got the cutter?
- November 12, 2009 at 6:27 AM

WOW! Those bundles are fantastic! I bet they did take you a long time!
- November 12, 2009 at 7:37 AM
- CookieCrazieLady said...
Awwww......thanks Soph. That is so nice of you. You could do it too, it just takes some practice.
Bob.....I make "walls" with black icing to divide "quilt squares" on the cookie. I fill in all the squares with colors and then add dots or plaid using the wet-on-wet method. Once the icing is dry, I add "stitches" around the blocks with a food color marker (I use the Food Doodler markers). I hope this answers your question.
Bea,thank you so much. You are always so kind. :-) No cutter used....I hand cut the bundle of flowers.

New Balance M1500 BBL Spring 2011
New Balance tends to never disappoint us with their sneakers. We see that continue today as they give us a look at their New Balance M1500 BBL. You can expect the sneaker to release somewhere in the Spring which makes sense due to the light colorways used on the kicks. The upper comes to us in grey with a white mid-sole and aqua blue accents. If you are really feeling these and your planning to cop a pair in the near future, pre-order a pair now at Hanon.

Daniel Snyder is clinging tightly to the Redskins nickname despite mounting political, social and now even legal and financial pressure.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office canceled the team's registered trademark. That means while the Washington Redskins do not have to stop using the name, anyone can profit from the use of the name Redskins.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) took full advantage of the landmark decision from the floor moments after the decision was made public.
MORE: Only one Redskins name change that works | Washington fans tweet to keep name
"It's racist," Reid said. "Daniel Snyder says it's about tradition. I ask, 'What tradition?' It's a tradition of racism is all that the name leaves in its wake. The writing is on the wall, it's on the wall in giant, blinking, neon lights."
He added:
"Daniel Snyder may be the last person in the world to realize this, but it's just a matter of time until he's forced to do the right thing and change the name."
Snyder won't do it quickly, willingly and maybe not even peacefully.
Reid was one of 50 U.S. senators who sent a letter to the NFL urging a name change. He is not alone and on Wednesday, the Oneida Indian Nation celebrated the step taken by the USPTO.
"The U.S. Patent Office has now restated the obvious truth that Native Americans, civil rights leaders, athletes, religious groups, state legislative bodies, Members of Congress and the president have all echoed: taxpayer resources cannot be used to help private companies profit off the promotion of dictionary defined racial slurs," said Oneida Indian Nation Representative Ray Halbritter and NCAI Executive Director Jackie Pata in a joint statement.
"If the most basic sense of morality, decency and civility has not yet convinced the Washington team and the NFL to stop using this hateful slur, then hopefully today's patent ruling will, if only because it imperils the ability of the team's billionaire owner to keep profiting off the denigration and dehumanization of Native Americans."

With the first shiny '12' plate cars now hitting the road, car dealers will be happy that more people are looking to buy a car over the coming year.
According to the latest Car Purchase Index for AA Financial Services, nearly a fifth of respondents in the study said they will buy a car over the next year, up 2% on last year.
Many will use their savings account to fund their purchase, whilst some will get a personal loan to do so or use ready cash or investments.
As Mark Huggins, director of AA Financial Services, commented: "Interest in buying cars appears to be reawakening since the successful Scrappage Scheme ended two years ago; and since the VAT increase of last year added around £500 to the typical price tag of a new car.
"Continuing low interest rates and people nervous about building up too much personal debt means that using savings, or other ready cash is still by far the favoured way of buying. But recent small interest rate falls from many lenders, including the AA, is leading more people to think about taking out a car loan."
Many looking to buy a new car are wanting one that is cheaper to run – perhaps not a surprise with the current cost of running a car, not helped with the increasing cost of petrol and diesel.
Even with the average price of diesel now at almost 145p per litre, diesel powered cars are still the nation's favourite. Nearly 50% of those planning to buy a car say they will choose diesel compared with 44% going for petrol.
MoneyHighStreet comments: "It's not just the cost of buying the car that needs to be taken into account, rather it's the total cost of buying it and then of course keeping it on the road.
The fuel (whether petrol diesel, hybrid or electric) is part of the equation but then there's ongoing maintenance and of course car insurance too.
It may well be worth considering certain makes of car to save money on car insurance. For example insurance on a Ford car will be less than on a Ford focus, assuming the basis of the insurance is the same.
"You can save money by carefully considering the cover you actually need – do you for example need fully comprehensive cover or will third party, fire and theft will suffice. Also what excess are you willing to pay and do you need a courtesy car should your car be off the road following an accident.
"There are also specific young drivers car insurance policies available that may be worth looking at. For example the Co-op have their Young Drivers insurance policy with which if you drive safely you qualify for Safer Driving Discounts to help reduce your premium."
"Be aware too that it may be worth considering buying GAP insurance. Whilst another cost, this is designed to cover the 'gap' or shortfall between the amount you can claim on your car insurance and the amount you need to pay off on any finance or to replace the car should it be written-off."

THE PLAYGROUND FOR Stevin Gardner's children lies between a burgundy Chrysler and a red Toyota, a patch of ragged asphalt about 15 to 20 feet square.
It holds a bright yellow toy car, a Fisher Price seesaw and a plastic slide that slopes down to a backed-up sewer grate that spawns mosquitoes and flies.
But that's not the worst part.
That comes when gunfire interrupts child's play.
"They know to run," Gardner said of his kids, ages 9 and 5. "They know to stay close to the wall because, around here, you're running for your life."
Like many at his apartment complex in the 1200 block of Tuscaloosa Avenue in Birmingham's West End, Gardner said the echo of gunshots and the threat of violence are commonplace.
"It's war, baby. It's Iraq. It's Beirut." Gardner said. "There ain't no fear; that's life."
Gardner's mother, 59-year-old Deborah Gardner, perhaps says it best: "You just get used to it, like living next to train tracks."
Though violence is down in Birmingham, it's far from gone. Despite across-the-board decreases in crime last year, the city remained among the roughest cities in America -- ranked fourth in the nation in murders, and 22nd in violent crimes, according to the FBI.
So far this year, 48 people have been murdered. Through May, 548 people were assaulted; 96 women reported being raped; and at least 9,362 others were victimized through robberies and thefts.
And those are just the actual victims. The fallout from crime stretches beyond those named on police incident reports, coroner's logs and stat sheets.
It reaches out and grabs hold of almost everyone who lives near it and with it daily. No city or neighborhood is immune, but some fare worse than others.
And that means it grabs West End with a deadly grip. Some streets remain relatively unaffected, but the violence occurs in highly concentrated and sometimes deadly pockets. It reaches into places such as the 1200 block of Tuscaloosa Avenue and squeezes hard.
There is often gunfire. There is always fear in a community long known as one of the hottest of Birmingham's crime hot spots.
Keith Aaron, president of the Arlington-West End Neighborhood Association, pulled from the Scripture, Psalm 23, when talking about parts of his community.
"Sometimes this is like the valley of the shadow of death. You think your life could be on the line," Aaron said. "I'm not trying to make this seem like it could be hell, or the most gloomiest place. A lot of changes are happening in West End.
"But when you hear the crack of a bullet so close to you, that does make you think you could lose your life," he said. "That's pretty scary."
Birmingham Police Officer Terry Chandler patrols Beat 429, which includes West End. According to police department statistics, there were 214 reports of gunfire on Chandler's beat from January through May, and those are just the times someone called police.
In all, officers responded to 4,636 calls on that beat in the first five months of the year. In June, Chandler alone answered 121 calls
Police and residents acknowledge Chandler's beat, which he has patrolled since January 2006, is among the most violent neighborhoods in metropolitan Birmingham. It is part of the city of Birmingham's West Precinct, where 264 people have been slain since Jan. 1, 2000, and 406 violent crimes were reported from January through May of this year.
Like most officers familiar with the area, Chandler says the 1200 block of Tuscaloosa Avenue keeps police busy.
There are a barber shop, a beauty shop, a corner store and two apartment complexes on that one stretch. It was in one of those complexes that 15-year-old Franchesta Morrow was shot to death in 2005 in her Tuscaloosa Avenue apartment, where she was caught in the gunfire of a neighborhood argument.
"It's a whole lot quieter out here than, say, eight years ago," Chandler said. "Whenever they do decide to feud with each other, they keep you busy, they really do."
He and other officers have whittled down the crime numbers, he said, by enforcing laws ranging from loitering to drug violations. Many of the problems stem from drugs, he said, and some major dealers have been taken off the streets.
"We've come a long way in the past year and a half," he said. "When I first got here, nobody wanted this beat. Now people are asking for it."
Some improvement
The neighborhood president agreed the situation has improved some. In the early 1990s it was not uncommon to see people walking up and down Tuscaloosa, brandishing weapons with no attempts to conceal them.
"It'd be easy to go by statistics and say that this is a very bad place to live and we've had a black eye for so long," Aaron said. "Crime in West End today is the lowest it's been in a very long time. We feel the presence of God at this time."
Still, he said, gunfire ranks alongside speeding as the top two concerns among his constituents. "The elderly sometimes shoot just to let people know they got a gun," Aaron said. "Sometimes they'll go in the backyard and just fire off." Sometimes, he said, the gunfire is simply someone in the woods by the railroad tracks testing out a new weapon that was just traded for crack.
"When you hear a gunshot like that, it's not so bad as when you hear it right behind your house," Aaron said. "The reality is if you hear a gunshot so close to your house you say, 'Oh, God, I hope that doesn't come through my window.'"
And there's no way to predict when it will erupt.
"Most of the time, I don't think about it until it happens," said 66-year-old Beatrice Walters, a retired Birmingham City Schools food services manager. "You just never know when you've got to run."
On most days, residents of both apartment complexes spend much of their time sitting outside, gathered on a front porch or the steps.
"This is our activity, sitting here," said Jessica Hudson, 36, who on a recent Friday joined Deborah Gardner and Velma Davis in their folding chairs while they flipped through home decorating magazines and a Southern Living cookbook.
Hudson moved into the building several months ago to care for her father-in-law, 73-year-old Pop, who has dementia. She has four children, ages 19, 16, 15 and 14.
"They don't stay here," Hudson said. "I don't have them come over here because of the stuff."
Walters, too, spends time on the ground-level front porch of her apartment that faces Tuscaloosa Avenue.
"Sometimes it's pretty rough, and you deal with it," she said. "The only thing I worry about is dodging bullets.
"If I'm in the front room, I fall to the floor," she said. "Sometimes every day. Sometimes twice a week.
"I stay to myself, I tend to my own business," she said. "I see, but I don't see. I hear, but I don't hear. That's why I've been able to stay here so long."
Work-related problems
Walters moved into her apartment in 1977 when it was new, and filled with working people. She said the onset of Section 8 housing -- government-subsidized housing for low-income families and individuals -- has brought an increase in trouble.
Many of those who use Section 8 vouchers have come from public-housing communities, Aaron said, and the transition is difficult. "They haven't been trained to live in neighborhoods and houses," she said. "They haven't learned to respect that people have to go to work in the morning. They stay up late and there's noise. That can create heated problems."
Residents and police cite a lack of work as a major contributor to the problems in the neighborhood.
"If you're just hanging out, you're looking for trouble," Officer Chandler said. "I can't tell you how many times a month I write 'unemployed' on an incident report. And these are healthy men and women. Work's just not their thing."
"There's no jobs out here," Deborah Gardner said. "Eighty-five percent of the people have (criminal) records. If they're hiring, they're not going to hire someone with a record."
Employment is the answer, she said. "It's just not happening."
Even with the frequent gunfire, and group fights at least once a week, the residents of Tuscaloosa Avenue say it's not all bad.
"Everywhere you go, it's a song about Tuscaloosa Avenue," Walters said. Get rid of the apartment complex across the street, she said, and "Tuscaloosa Avenue would be back in business."
Deborah Gardner said the reality doesn't live up to the reputation. "If my mother was living, she wouldn't come here," Gardner said with a smile. "And she only lived several blocks down the road. It's hearsay."
Wendell Davidson, 39, opened his barber shop on Tuscaloosa Avenue a year ago. He says he has no concerns about his safety, but he does keep the door to his shop locked at all times.
"It keeps somebody from trying to rob me, for real," Davidson said.
It's much the same story at Lil' Joes convenience store. "We like the neighborhood," said Ezzudin Shaibi, who works behind bullet-proof glass.
The store doesn't sell beer or liquor, in an effort to cut down on loitering. Instead it peddles milk and bread and other items aimed at attracting families as customers.
"I like quiet," he said. "Sometimes I see them gathering out there, I close. I close in here and go out the back. It makes problems I don't need."
10 years on Tuscaloosa
Scottie King, 40, said it's all about what you're used to. He has lived in his Tuscaloosa Avenue apartment for 10 years with his wife, Constance Morris. He's a bricklayer, and travels much of the time. She's a housekeeper in Mountain Brook.
King said he was a member of the Disciples gang in the late 1980s when gang violence was rampant amid the height of the crack cocaine epidemic in Birmingham and the accompanying turf wars. Gunshot wounds to both of his legs, he said, ended his gang-banging ways. He said he's spent several stints in prison, but won't talk about the nature of his crimes.
That former lifestyle, he said, is why the sound of gunfire doesn't bother him. He said he hears shots probably every other night, sometimes around dusk and sometimes in the pre-dawn hours.
"I get up when they get through shooting and go look, make sure there ain't nobody laying on the ground," King said.
King said both he and his wife spend much of their time away from their apartment. When they are home, they run a makeshift snack shop there, peddling bubble gum, candy and oversized pickles to the neighborhood kids. His wife spends a considerable amount of time tending to the brightly colored petunias lining a quarter of the upstairs walkway.
He relies on his Muslim faith, and she on her Christianity, to see them through the woes surrounding them.
"I ain't scared. I'm not saying it doesn't concern me, but you've got to go on," King said. "If not, you're going to be cramped up in your house scared. I ain't fixin' to let them run me off."

The Bauer Supreme TotalOne elbow pads are the premier pads in Bauer Supreme line. These pads offer pro level protection and the mobility to match. The Total One elbow pads utilize Bauer's new F-ONE™ shell technology and MAX-SORB™ padding that reduces the energy transfered from impacts while reducing weight.
Starting at the top, the bicep guard is attached differently than most elbow pads. The bicep pad is only attached in one spot directly behind the elbow. This allows the bicep pad to move free from the rest of the elbow pad. The flat segmented, dual density foams wrap around the bicep, giving the pad a loose fit allowing the upper arm to move free within the protection. This design style allows for advanced protection while maintaining mobility.
The TotalOne elbow pads uses Bauer's Thermo-Max+™ liner which is moisture wicking and has a soft feel. The forearm guard features F-ONE Shell technology which fuses high density foams together with polyethlene plastics. The result is a forearm guard that offers pro-level protection against slashes with 25% more energy absorption yet is 15% lighter in weight than other pro-level pads. Also Bauer has ribbed the outer plastic of the forearm and elbow pads which helps disperse the energy of direct hits. You won't find a more protective elbow pad.
To help secure all this protection to your arm Bauer has used a unique forearm strap. The strap forms a Z-shape across the arm with a mesh-like, stretchy material. With 2 Velcro points of attachment the strap really offers a performance, snug fit for any shape of arm.
