I had my baby on 6/17/09. Since then I have lost about 37 lbs. I want to lost about 10 more. I am breastfeeding but I am having some issues with milk production and might stop soon. Can you still lose weight after you stop breastfeeding?
How much weight has everyone lost?
I would imagine you could still lose weight afterwards. I gained 46 and have lost 33. The first 26 were in the first 2 weeks, then it slowed way down. :( I'm getting there though! I'm BF too.
Jillian 6.23.09
I stopped BFing 3 weeks after her birth and that is when the weight stopped falling off. Your weight loss will probably slow down. I have not started exercising yet so that is why my weight loss has stopped, but the good thing is that I am not gaining.

I gaines 40 lbs and have 4 lbs to go to get to my prepregnancy weight...I'd like to lose 5-MAYBE 10lbs more than that. Mine slowed down after the first 2 weeks too. And of course it's possible to lose the weight if you're not breastfeeding :) Just keep working at it :)

Loving mom to William, 6-22-2009, and Logan, 9-4-2011
Of course you can still lose weight! And from what I understand if you are BFing you tend to hold onto 10 pounds. I lost 30 pounds in two weeks, then stopped losing. Once I stopped BFing I am down another 15 pounds, but I still have 20 to go. I'm getting there.
I am fairly certain that given a cape and a nice tiara I could save the world
Mom to: M. 6/09 & G. 11/10 & L. 5/13
i gained 35lbs and have lost 37.5lbs. i was so excited to see that i have lost more than i gained when i looked at the scale this morning. i ve been getting upat 630 the past week or so to go for a walk before mySO goes to work so i can be by my self with out the kids for a while, and apparently it is working. my goal is to lose about 20 more lbs!!

and boy #2 Caleb James (06/15/09)
I have lost about 30 pounds so far and have another 6 to get to pre-pregnancy weight but I am EBF-ing and I will say that when I had DS, I lost weight easily while BF-ing (for 12 months) and as soon as I stopped, my weight started to climb. I put on another 6-8 pounds over three months and then I got pregnant again. Of course, I did not curb my eating (I am terrible about using both pregnancy and nursing as a license to eat ice cream, chocolate, cookies, etc.) and I wasn't really exercising, other than going for walks to the playground with DS. I finally just cancelled my YMCA membership b/c I had only been once in 2.5 years. SIGH. Good luck!
I gained atleast 46 lbs, if not more during my pregnancy. I lost ALL of it and a little bit more within 2 weeks of having my LO. I was pumping during that time but stopped at about 3-4 weeks or so. Still losing slowly.

Don't judge me, monkey!
I gained 35lbs and am down by 44 lbs! I am Bfing and I think that has to be the big reason as to why I am down so much!
I gained 35 and have lost 20, haven't lost anything in weeks, EBF also, not a real big tryer, either. I'm just kinda waiting for the weight to fall off, LOL.

Yesterday, I wrote a blog on pornography and masturbation. A topic some may see as a little heavy, but one I feel important to address as a man, knowing that men can very easily can get caught up in such a snare. And as men, one must know the dangers of those things which corrupt, or know how to break free from such vices whilst on the path to perfecting manliness.
There can be nothing more destructive for a man that to become embroiled in pornography and masturbation, and yet, it is often not mentioned among us for feelings of shame, guilt, embarrassment and the sense of unworthiness that follows.
A real man must avoid such things, knowing that the end result is a distortion of the world and the opposite sex. It's has the potential to wreck one's character and to stunt one's growth towards real manliness. And yet, once a man gets caught up in such a snare, it then becomes almost impossible to break free.
A man must not believe the stories that this is just a harmless pastime, and that it's ok, because it's what us men do. Men who think this way will often have problems later on in married life, or will ultimately suffer at least some consequences if they are already married.
Please take a look at my blog on 'Pornography and Masturbation.'

I move this thread be converted to a discussion of what kind of stuff we all like to fap to.
I move that this thread be converted to a discussion of why grown men should never use the word 'fap'.
Perhaps "grown men" is the qualifier . . . .
Jack Bauer, grown man: Do you know that secularism is an ideology? Do you you realize that anyone who thinks different from the secularist ideology is discriminated and his initiated discussions censored? You let this discussion of "pornography and masturbation" because it is secular, while you make censorship of mine which is not secular. In many places of the forums the issue of masturbation is repeated, how many different kind of masturbation could be and the answer has to be so different?, and in all these places need answers, I did not posted in all the places, I was tired and only began it as a new discussion. What Jesus said: who belongs to the truth, then he will listen to whom is the Truth, I am the truth, the way and the life, who does not believe in me, he condemns himself. The dictatorship of relativism tolerates all "truths", but it practices zero tolerance for whom is "The" truth and his convictions. Secularism crucifix him again and again. Without the anchor against relativism, and the holly ark no one will be saved. You warned me. He lets you know. I stop here.
Dude, what are you getting high on?
Postscript: In fact, secularism is not only an ideology. The term "religion" comes from religare, relating to the Supreme Being . The secularist humanism, that relativizes all the religions, and puts man at the center, instead of Christ, is the "religion of man" (never the religion of "The Man" - Christ). It is, as I said, the dictatorship of relativism that tolerates all "truths", but it practices zero tolerance for whom is "The" truth. Secularism is an ideology & religion and all these forums are religious.
No one can serve two masters: for he will love the one and despise the other. You can not serve God and at the same time the secularist humanism. I know the sympathy felt by the creators of those rules by the lodges that gradually lead you to the religion of the secularist humanism and I pray for them because they do not seem to be so bad people (YET).
Jack is no secular humanist - nor is he a moderator that I know of. He didn't shut down your other discussion.
At the site owner's request, we try to keep religion, politics, and too much in the way of sex talk off the main page. Those should be reserved for the various groups. If you would like suggestions on which groups may cover a given topic, I'd be happy to help, or you may simply search and peruse them here:
This thread is several years old, and had fallen off everyone's radar. As it is a necro, and quickly spiraling out of control, I'm going to freeze responses from here on out.
Hey Axel, i have never figured out how the church's' teaching thought that Onan was
masturbating when it was withdrawal to prevent a birth. But then most religions use any
scrap of evidence to launch another myth.
Did you think that Onanism was only a sin about masturbation? So you misunderstood. Onanism includes but it is not reduced to masturbation.

Danny O'Neil of the Seattle Times offers thoughts on Peter King's recent tweets suggesting Matt Hasselbeck will not return to the Seahawks in 2011. King spent the weekend in Seattle and even tweeted a photo of Seahawks general manager John Schneider from the U2 concert at Qwest Field. His tweets about Hasselbeck followed not long after. Were these events completely unrelated? Hard to say. King tweets about all sorts of NFL subjects without running into general managers at concerts. We can safely assume Schneider did not leave King with the impression Hasselbeck would be returning. My read earlier this offseason said the Seahawks might have an easier time making a break with their past if the lockout dragged on for an extended period, because big-picture planning could have additional time to harden in decision makers' minds. Of course, the longer the lockout lasts, the less time Seattle would have to coach up another quarterback. Hasselbeck knows the team's new offense.
Brock Huard of 710ESPN Seattle offers thoughts on King's tweets, plus a link to an interview with King. I agree with Huard's take that Seattle wants Hasselbeck, but not at any cost. Re-signing Hasselbeck to a shorter-term deal becomes easier, in theory, if there's a perception the team is ready to move forward without Hasselbeck.
Clare Farnsworth of seahawks.com checks in with the Blades brothers, Brian and Bennie, who became teammates in Seattle for the 1997 season. Brian: "Bennie was trying to get me to come to Detroit after my first contract was up. But I told him, 'No, I'm going to stay put, because I like it out here.' Once it got to the point where he was unwelcome in Detroit, it was a blessing that we had the opportunity to play at least one year together."
Also from Farnsworth: Brian Blades, now 45, earns a spot on the Seahawks' 35th anniversary team. Farnsworth: "In five of the six seasons when Blades started at least 14 games, he caught at least 70 passes and led the team in receptions. But he also had seasons when he started five, six, seven and nine games because of injuries. That's because Blades made many of his catches the hard way -- by going over the middle, and taking the hits that followed."
Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic passes along stats from Pro Football Focus affirming perceptions that Cardinals left tackle Levi Brown struggles in pass protection.
Also from Somers: another look at Football Outsiders stats, these for broken tackles. They have the Cardinals' Adrian Wilson with 16 of them, second-most in the league, after having only two in 2009. Somers: "Some perspective is needed, however, when evaluating the Cardinals defense. Its performance was terrible, no question. But it should be noted, too, that the Cardinals were better on offense in 2009 and possessed the ball an average of about four minutes longer per game than they did in 2010. This defense spent too much time on the field and was often in poor situations because of the anemic offense. Second, Wilson has some pretty good company on the list, including Bucs corner Ronde Barber, Titans linebacker Stephen Tulloch and Chicago linebacker Lance Briggs. Corners, safeties and linebackers often play in 'space', so it's understandable they will have move missed tackles than defensive linemen."
Darren Urban of azcardinals.com offers thoughts on Larry Fitzgerald's latest comments about wanting to stay in Arizona. Urban: "In this scenario, it's the quarterback/offense that needs to be upgraded. I think that will happen, and I still think Fitz will remain a Cardinal. But until things are tweaked (and that can't happen until the labor situation sorts itself out) Fitz's future remains relatively vague regardless of his interviews."
Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com says the 49ers' Alex Smith and Michael Crabtree need one another. I would say Smith needs Crabtree more at this point, given that Smith does not project as a long-term starter for the 49ers.
Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee says Adam Snyder continues to practice at center for the 49ers this offseason. Barrows: "Snyder said he's been the de facto center all offseason and has spent a lot of time snapping the ball to Alex Smith. The 49ers, of course, are light on centers at the moment. 2011 starter Davis Baas and Tony Wragge are unrestricted free agents. Eric Heitmann is rehabilitating a neck injury at Stanford, his alma mater. Two other possibilities, Daniel Kilgore and Mike Person, are rookies who didn't play the position in college."
Also from Barrows: more on the 49ers' offensive line.
Taylor Price of 49ers.com profiles new 49ers assistant coach Bobby Engram. Price: "Jim Harbaugh's West Coast offensive system aligns nicely with the concepts Engram learned as a player in Seattle. His experience and knowledge of the scheme allow him to be a great resource for the offensive staff."
Eric Branch of the Santa Rosa Press-Democrat says 49ers rookie receiver Ronald Johnson eats, drinks and sleeps football figuratively, while sleeping with a football literally. Teammate Josh Morgan: "Ronald just wants it so bad. That's probably the best thing I could say about him. He's so eager to get everything right now. When you're that eager to learn, and that eager to get it in you so you can get out there and play, you're always going to have some positive results."
Also from Branch: Anthony Dixon wants to be a better all-around back.
Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury News offers thoughts on Crabtree and Smith. Kawakami: "It's early June, there's a lockout, there are no coaches in sight, and things are decidedly informal this week at San Jose State during the Smith-directed player workouts and offensive classroom sessions. But whether it's intentional or merely grindingly passive-aggressive, while everything else is going smoothly, every day there's a new twist to the Smith-Crabtree saga. No, they're not Joe and Jerry. Or even Jeff and T.O."
Mike Rosenberg of the San Jose Mercury News suggests the 49ers are no closer to getting a stadium built in Santa Clara. Rosenberg cites the lockout, rising construction costs and questions about funding in this piece, while the 49ers say their plans remain on track.
Daniel Brown of the San Jose Mercury News checks in with Dixon, who faces additional competition at the position.
Tom FitzGerald of the San Francisco Chronicle passes along thoughts from the 49ers' offensive linemen. Veterans are helping younger players with the 49ers' new playbook.
Nick Wagoner of stlouisrams.com profiles Rams draft choice Lance Kendricks, who projects as a key weapon within Josh McDaniels' new offense. Wagoner: "At 6-2, 241 pounds, Kendricks has the size of a tight end, but his athleticism is comparable to some of the best receivers in this year's draft. Kendricks was clocked at 4.47 seconds in the 40-yard dash coming out of high school and has recorded a 36-inch vertical jump." Most NFL tight ends are bigger than 6-2 and 241, but very few possess Kendricks' athleticism. The NFC West now has quite a few athletic tight ends (Vernon Davis, Delanie Walker, Rob Housler, John Carlson, Kendricks and Mike Hoomanawanui). Kendricks: "I take a lot of pride in being able to do things such as blocking and doing some iso-blocks and splitting, lining up in the slot in single side, and lining up as a true tight end, and I definitely do take a lot of pride in that."

Fri 17:05 - SS4: Sordo –

Plage du Liamone - Sarrola-Carcopino 2, 29.12km The crews are poised to end day one with a blast through the only stage on the route that is identical to 2015. A fast climb from Liamone beach leads to a tight hairpin at Casaligione. There's a change of pace and profile as a wide, twisty road heads to Furcina bridge before a string of corners along a winding bumpy climb to Calcatoggio hairpin. After the villages of Sant' Andrea d'Orcino and Cannelle, wide asphalt leads to Col de Sarzoggio and then a tricky run down to the finish.

Fri 15:45 - SS3: JWRC Folb –

Fri 15:43 - SS3: JWRC Koci –
He goes 12.7s faster than Folb on this one and is 29.5s faster than Tempestini.
Fri 15:41 - SS3: JWRC Veiby –

Fri 15:31 - SS3: WRC 2 Maurin –
The Frenchman is only sixth fastest after losing around 20s. "We had a big spin in fifth gear – without that the time would have been very good."

"The stage was okay. We changed the set-up a bit at lunch and it was better." He sits in 5th place overall.
Fri 15:28 - SS3: WRC 2 Bonato –
"The car was fine but it's just the tyres. When you do a 50km stage, they get very hot."
Fri 15:26 - SS3: WRC 2 Gilbert
The Frenchman has dropped more than a minute in this one. "The car is working okay but the gearbox didn't allow me to use first gear."
Fri 15:24 - SS3: WRC 2 Kopecky –
"We've changed the set-up of the car a little bit and now we have more grip. It will be nice to try and have a battle with Evans." The gap between the two is now 11.8s.
Fri 15:23 - SS3: WRC 2 Evans
The category leader is happy with his time of 31m 00.2s. But he's 1.8s slower than pacesetter Kopecky.
Fri 15:22 - SS3: Bertelli –
The Italian has had no intercom from the start of the stage. That's 49.72km of shouting and pointing for his co-driver.

Fri 15:16 - SS3: Meeke –
The Briton has dropped from second to 11th overall with his problem. "We had a puncture early on, no idea where. We had to stop and change. Okay, we're not in the championship but it's frustrating."
Fri 15:13 - SS3: Breen –
The Citroën driver moves up to sixth place, despite being 24.5s off Ogier's pace.
Fri 15:12 - SS3: Tänak –
"It would be nice to say it was fun to drive but it's quite tricky on these roads right now. We try to learn as much as we can."
Fri 15:10 - SS3: Østberg –
The Norwegian has struggled on the second pass of the stage, losing 59.6s. It's a brake issue. "We are trying but we don't have any brake cooling. Half way through I lost the pedal. I tried to stay focussed but I was struggling to stop the car."
Fri 15:07 - SS3: Sordo –
20.3s slower than Ogier but currently third overall. Commenting on Ogier's improved pace this afternoon, the Spaniard says: "I think maybe Ogier was sleeping this morning."
Fri 15:05 - SS3: Latvala –

Fri 14:57 - SS3: Ogier –
The rally leader completes in 30m 11.6s – almost 13 seconds faster than his time this morning. "Very hot conditions and the tyre was moving a lot. I couldn't really push because of the tyres and I had no idea what rhythm I had at the end. It wasn't easy for me."

Fri 11:38 - SS2: Sordo –
The Spaniard loses 14.1s and is confused as to why. "Felt much better than the first stage but the time was not good. I had a bit of understeer but not the best time."
Fri 11:36 - SS2: Latvala
The 2015 rally winner loses another 14s and now 32.1s off the lead. "Not the time I should be able to do. I don't know. Maybe I was a bit wrong with what I did in the test and thought it would be good for the rally? Maybe the set-up has gone in the wrong direction and the rhythm isn't the greatest either?"
Fri 11:33 - SS2: Neuville –
The Belgian is 8.7s slower than Ogier at the stage finish. "I'm not comfortable all the time. Sometimes I have huge oversteer and then some understeer. It was a bit better than the first stage."

Fri 11:29 - SS2: Mikkelsen –

Fri 11:27 - SS2: Ogier –
The rally leader completes the stage in 18m 39.6s. "Very enjoyable stage. Some work to do on the set-up to be perfect but it's not bad and a good start to the rally for us. Try to get a good felling and, for sure, I was pushing a bit more in this one than I did in the first."
Fri 11:25 - SS2: Paddon –

The first of the JWRC runners is in with a time of 34m 15.6s. "Our rhythm was really good. After the recce I expected that the road would be dirty but it wasn't so bad. We didn't push at all. The rally is really long."
Fri 10:10 - SS1: Suninen –

Fri 10:09 - SS1: Sarrazin –

The JWRC front-runner is moving again. More to follow...
Fri 10:06 - SS1: Bouffier –

Fri 10:05 - SS1: Abbring –
The Dutchman is third fastest in WRC 2. "Really enjoyable. I took it a bit easy as I didn't want to overdrive the tyres. I could have pushed a bit more and some other things I'd like to change on the car."
Fri 10:03 - SS1: Veiby –
The JWRC front-runner appears to have stopped after the second split in the stage. Reason unknown...

Fri 09:49 - SS1: Breen –
Current sixth fastest as he posts a time that's 17s slower than Ogier's best. "That was a bit of a wake up call. Really struggled to get a rhythm and killed the tyres early. I had to wait for them to come back on again."
Fri 09:47 - SS1: Meeke –
The Brit is only 4s slower than Ogier and currently second overall. "I spun at a hairpin not far into the stage. But I got back into my rhythm straight away and that time is good on a dirty road."

Fri 09:41 - SS1: Sordo –

The 2015 rally winner has had a nightmare start. He's 18.1s slower than Ogier. "Didn't have the best rhythm on the driving and started to improve at the end. I know I can do a better job. I was a bit cautious on this stage."

I personally loved the gameplay and level design.
I don't know much about DMC but I can relate, seeing my favorite series of all time, Resident Evil, change dramatically installment after installment and getting blasted by the gaming media and fans. Definitely a lot of overreacting by people when they see change. They reject a game as a whole instead of just criticizing only its flaws. I criticized the flaws in RE6, but as a whole game I find it pretty entertaining and worth the 65 bucks I paid for. There's such few series that I can actually sit down, follow it and play it enjoyably. RE6 is one of them, even with its dramatic change, it's still one of the best games out there IMO. Whether you want to reject it's horror label or whatever, it's still a good game.

What's Left of Pleasure? A Book Review of Janet Halley's Split Decisions: How and Why to Take a Break from Feminism
Mary Anne Franks
University of Miami School of Law
Winter 2007
Harvard Journal of Law and Gender, Vol. 30, 2007
This book review evaluates Janet Halley's "hedonics of critique," a theoretical approach that prioritizes the celebration of pleasure over harm - harm that Halley claims Feminism has not only unduly emphasized but has in many cases created in and for women. This review suggests that this hedonics of critique ignores harm, especially sexual harm, in favor of a quasi-Foucauldian imperative to enjoy.

American Physical Society Responds
The Jan. 27 op-ed "No Need to Panic About Global Warming" is inaccurate in its characterization of the Climate Change Statement of the American Physical Society (APS), the nation's leading organization of physicists with more than 50,000 members.
The APS statement is unequivocal. It notes that "global warming is occurring." And the commentary states that "while there are factors driving the natural variability of climate (e.g., volcanoes, solar variability, oceanic oscillations), no known natural mechanisms have been proposed that explain all of the observed warming in the past century." The statement does not declare, as the authors of the op-ed suggest, that the human contribution to climate change is incontrovertible.
The APS has dealt with the climate-change issue openly and democratically, and it has given every APS member the opportunity to inform the process. In addition, an independent, unbiased panel examined the statement and consulted with leading climate experts as well as skeptics. Finally, the Council of the APS, comprised of the elected representatives of the society, overwhelmingly approved the statement and accompanying commentary. As it has for 112 years, the APS continues to stand for the utmost integrity in promoting and disseminating scientific research.

Jimmy Carter, you are the father of the Islamic Nazi movement. You threw the Shah under the bus, welcomed the Ayatollah home, and then lacked the spine to confront the terrorists when they took our embassy and our people hostage. You 're the runner-in-chief.
Bill Clinton, you played ring around the Lewinsky while the terrorists were at war with us. You got us into a fight with them in Somalia and then you ran from it. Your weak-willed responses to the U.S.S. Cole and the First Trade Center Bombing and Our Embassy Bombings emboldened the killers. Each time you failed to respond adequately, they grew bolder, until 9/11/2001.
John Kerry, dishonesty is your most prominent attribute. You lied about American Soldiers in Vietnam . Your military service, like your life, is more fiction than fact. You've accused our military of terrorizing women and children in Iraq . You called Iraq the wrong war, wrong place, wrong time, the same words you used to describe Vietnam . You're a fake. You want to run from Iraq and abandon the Iraqis to murderers just as you did the Vietnamese. Iraq , like Vietnam , is another war that you were for, before you were against it.
John Murtha, you said our military was broken. You said we can't win militarily in Iraq . You accused United States Marines of cold-blooded murder without proof and said we should redeploy to Okinawa . Okinawa, John? And the Democrats call you their military expert! Are you sure you didn't suffer a traumatic brain injury while you were off building your war hero resume? You're a sad, pitiable, corrupt and washed up politician. You're not a Marine, sir. You wouldn't amount to a good pimple on a real Marine's butt. You're a phony and a disgrace. Run away, John.
Dick Durbin, you accused our soldiers at Guantanamo of being Nazis, tenders of Soviet style gulags and as bad as the regime of Pol Pot, who murdered two million of his own people after your party abandoned Southeast Asia to the Communists. Now you want to abandon the Iraqis to the same fate. History was not a good teacher for you, was it? Lord help us! See Dick run.
Ted Kennedy, for days on end you held poster-sized pictures from Abu Ghraib in front of any available television camera. Al Jazeera quoted you saying that Iraqi's torture chambers were open under new management. Did you see the news, Teddy? The Islamic Nazis demonstrated another beheading for you. If you truly supported our troops, you'd show the world poster-sized pictures of that atrocity and demand the annihilation of it. Your legislation stripping support from the South Vietnamese led to a communist victory there.
Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Carl Levine, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, Russ Feingold, Hillary Clinton, Pat Leahy, Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer, the Holly wood Leftist morons, et al, ad nauseam: Every time you stand in front of television cameras and broadcast to the Islamic Nazis that we went to war because our President lied, that the war is wrong and our Soldiers are torturers, that we should leave Iraq, you give the Islamic butchers - the same ones that tortured and mutilated American Soldiers - cause to think that we'll run away again, and all they have to do is hang on a little longer. It is inevitable that we, the infidels, will have to defeat the Islamic jihadists. Better to do it now on their turf, than later on ours after they have gained both strength and momentum.
American news media, the New York Times particularly: Each time you publish stories about national defense secrets and our intelligence gathering methods, you become one united with the sub-human pieces of camel dung that torture and mutilate the bodies of American Soldiers. You can't strike up the courage to publish cartoons, but you can help Al Qaeda destroy my country. Actually, you are more dangerous to us than Al Qaeda is. Think about that each time you face Mecca to admire your Pulitzer.
You are America's 'AXIS OF IDIOTS.' Your Collective Stupidity will destroy us. Self-serving politics and terrorist-abetting news scoops are more important to you than our national security or the lives of innocent civilians and Soldiers. It bothers you that defending ourselves gets in the way of your elitist sport of politics and your ignorant editorializing. There is as much blood on your hands as is on the hands of murdering terrorists. Don't ever doubt that. Your frolics will only serve to extend this war as they extended Vietnam . If you want our Soldiers home as you claim, knock off the crap and try supporting your country ahead of supporting your silly political aims and aiding our enemies.
Yes, I'm questioning your patriotism. Your loyalty ends with self. I'm also questioning why you're stealing air that decent Americans could be breathing. You don't deserve the protection of our men and women in uniform. You need to run away from this war, this country. Leave the war to the people who have the will to see it through and the country to people who are willing to defend it.
No, Mr. President, you don't get off the hook, either. Our country has two enemies: Those who want to destroy us from the outside and those who attempt it from within. Your Soldiers are dealing with the outside force. It's your obligation to support them by confronting the AXIS OF IDIOTS.
America must hear it from you that these self-centered people are harming our country, abetting the enemy and endangering our safety. Well up a little anger, please, and channel it toward the appropriate target. You must prosecute those who leak national security secrets to the media. You must prosecute those in the media who knowingly publish those secrets.
Our Soldiers need you to confront the enemy that they cannot. They need you to do it now.
Semper Fi, J. D. Pendry - Sergeant Major, USMC, Retired
This is one area in which GWB has clearly failed the country. He simply can't perceive the opposition party as an enemy.
Well said J. D. Pendry - Sergeant Major, USMC, Retired!
Excellent and thank you.
Great post, thank you. God bless our troops, our veterans, and their families; God help our "leaders" and our country.
I agree 100% with J.D. Pendry. These Democrats are a disgrace to this country and should be retired also. Kerry is up for re-election. He should go. Murtha should go. He's a disgrace.
John McCain does in fact have another connection to communists, terrorists.
Senator John 'I seeved in Vier-Nam' Kerry is a member of a communist funded terrorist group from the 60's, Viet-Nam Veterans Against the War, (VVAW).
This group plotted to murder 19 pro-war US Senators with Kerry being present at the meeting.
Members of VVAW were arresteed with several home made bombs in route to a VP Agnew speech.
The group was in direct contact with the leaders of North Viet-Nam and received directions from them.
Read more about the VVAW and the FBI files on my about me page.
I read all 12,000 pages.
John McCain is friends with Kerry and almost ran with him as his VP.
It is rather sad, really, to watch Carter and Clinton, two former presidents, trekking around the world in search of a legacy. Both managed to squander their opportunities while in office.
Carter is trying to keep himself in the news because Roseland saw the long lines of mourners during the Reagan funeral. She pines for Jimmah to experience the same — long lines of mourners, but he won't. Instead, Carter will be remembered for 444 days of Americans held captive in Iran. That is the same Iran that was the direct result of Carter's undermining and dethroning the Shah. Carter will be remembered for skyrocketing inflation, running at double-digit percentage increases. Carter will be remembered for massive double-digit interest rates.
Clinton will be remembered for the Lewinsky affair and for his impeachment. No matter how many speeches he gives, no matter what the Clinton Foundation funds, Clinton will be remembered — for the Lewinksy affair and for his impeachment.
Dear Sargeant Major,
Thanks for writing a well-crafted letter to these islamic idiots. I know that you have hit on many defined highlights about their true patriotism, that is to destroy our country
by ignorance and stupidity. We conservatives and patriots are a strong breed, that outnumbers the leftist liberals, like Jimmy Carter. That is why John f'n Kerry did not get elected to President because people that cared saw right through him. If the arabs ask for the United States, Carter would give it to them in a heart beat, no questions asked.
Mr. Carter, that is your legacy. Mr. Clinton, you were never a president, your diddling was/is your legacy, suck it up, boy. Mr. President Bush, I hope that you are reading these posts while you have a short time in office. You can certainly strengthen your legacy, by start kicking liberal asses, and get this going right, and be openly honest to the American people. They will support you 100%, when you do right things "right".
Problem is, IMHO, is that these elitists believe that they are, in fact, America's royalty. Case in point was Ted Kennedy's recent printed desire (don't have a cite) that his wife Vicky take his senatorship should that be necessary. Isn't that like treating Massachusetts like his own little duchy?
Semper fi and amen.
I sent this to Gathering of Eagles with the suggestion it be posted there also.
At long last, have these people no shame, no decency? No sense of enlightened self-interest in the long term? But of course, no.
"I sent this to Gathering of Eagles with the suggestion it be posted there also."
Thank you.....it would be my wish that every American read this...the more the merrier. A good day to you and yours.
Wow. Excellent.
Perhaps Pendry's next position, now that he has retired, is PRESIDENT. Well spoken!!
This Infantry vet salutes the Sergeant Major!
Memorial Day, remind everybody what this day is really for! Not just a day off work with big department store sales. Men and women of the armed services bravely fought and died for this country. Lets not be so quick to give it away (democrats).
Well done sir.
OK, If Bob Barr is on the ballot in YOUR state (and he will be in some 47 or 48 of them) YOU NOW HAVE A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW YOUR TOTAL DISTAIN FOR THOSE RUNNING THE TWEEDLE DUMB/TWEEDLE DUMBER (Pubbie/Dems) PARTIES (INTO THE GROUND ALONG WITH OUR KIDS' FUTURES).
You're thinking "If I vote for Barr, it might let the wrong guy win." In this election, they're BOTH the "wrong guy." For some different reasons but they're both the wrong guy so WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?
Don't know about you, but THIS grandfather is sick and tired of voting for the lesser of two evils and then being surprised that the evils of destruction of American sovereignty, massive unfunded debt and the consequent inflation, presidentially ordered wars, stupid energy — among thousands of other — policies, ballooning bureaucracy, etc., etc., ad nauseum continue without letup.
Unless you just enjoy those increasingly frequent ankle gripping exercises ordered by the Gang of 535 and 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, me to PUT UP OR SHUT UP, PEOPLE!!
The problem is, two generations after Vietnam, the left has a solid grip on half the American populace. These idiots - Kerry, Murtha, et al, are elected by the people of their respective states and/or congressional districts. How did we get here and how do we get [them[ out ?
Wouldn't it be nice if they could be sentenced to 12 months of independent living in small town USA supported by a Social Security check?

You sir have just turned the wattage up on those spotlights. You have my admiration. Pound them relentlessly until they cut and run in surrender as they so want to do.
This is two years old now. I wrote it in June of 2006, first posted here at Free Republic. I am a retired Army Sergeant Major, however, I consider it a compliment to be referred to as a Marine as I've known some mighty fine Marine NonCommissioned Officers. Here is a link to the orignal post:
It adds some context and contains linked material as well. Thanks for your support of our Serving Men and Women on this Memorial Day.
It was sent to me this AM by a friend. I cannot tell you how much it inspired me. Thank you so much for your service to this nation....words cannot truly express the gratitude I feel for the fine men like you that guard and protect this Nation's freedoms every day. It is an honor sir.
Your piece is one of the most well defined, no nonsense articles I've ever read. It explicity identifies the enemy from within and why. Thank you again,
The best to you and yours today JD...
The MAN is in the HOUSE....JD PENDRY, the author of the articlie I posted this Morning, "Axis of Idiots", in on the BOARD! See post #34, and give this American Hero the salute he deserves...!!!!
THANK YOU SIR for your service and continuing to fight for the Constitution.
God bless you and God Bless America!
Right on the mark, SgtMaj.
Yeah — then he wouldn't have to go yachting all the time. Maybe just watching how people in the flyover states survive would give them all a new perspective on how real life is lived. They're just a bunch of pseudos.
DC Chapter ping to an oldie (2 years) but goodie. Check out the link at reply 34.
A snappy salute from the Navy, Sergeant Major, well done!
You sir have just turned the wattage up on those spotlights. You have my admiration. Pound them relentlessly until they cut and run in surrender as they so want to do.
God bless you and all our military, past and present on this Memorial Day.
"Our country has two enemies: Those who want to destroy us from the outside and those who attempt it from within. Your Soldiers are dealing with the outside force. It's your obligation to support them by confronting the AXIS OF IDIOTS."
In this President Bush has failed the country.
The problem is, the leftists have succeeded in getting just enough of the populace addicted to pork and entitlements, to ensure their perpetual re-election. It's only taken two generations to grow a nation of constituents willing to pull the 'D' lever as long as it gets them their Washington DC fix...
And it's not just the Democrat party's fault. The Republicans were handed an incredible opportunity in 1994 to reshape Washington. They started off strong, but it only took 12 years for them to morph into "Democrat Lite". I think it was Henry Kissinger who said that power is the ultimate aphrodisiac. Apparently it's also the ultimate corrosive agent for conservatism.
All I can say to that is OORAH!
Sgt Jensen, USMC
Active Duty
I agree the Republicans have blown it since 1994. Too many of them want to be liked by the DC "A List" media types than represent their constituents back home.
Yup, JD, I salute you too. So refreshing to hear the truth spoken. Always.

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - Lindsay Davenport got a tough workout from Karolina Sprem in the second round of the Australian Open before advancing today with a 7-6 (4), 6-3 victory.
After trading breaks in the third and fourth games, the first set went on serve, with Davenport winning the 12th game at love to force a tiebreaker.
Trailing 3-1, the top-ranked Davenport rallied after Sprem double-faulted, winning six of the last seven points and claiming the set with consecutive forehand winners.
"After being down in the tiebreaker, to come back and construct a few really good points, it was very key to get out of that," Davenport said.
The 2000 Australian champion had six breakpoint chances in the second set before finally converting after the sixth game went to deuce six times.
Australian Open
Stat of the Day: 18. the number of service breaks in the five-set win by Lleyton Hewitt over Robin Vik, nine to each player.
Quote of the Day: "It was beautiful to walk in there." - Martina Hingis, who returned after a three-year retirement to Rod Laver Arena, where she won three singles titles and contested six straight finals.
Two of Davenport's three previous wins over Sprem have come at majors.
She won in the fourth-round here last year en route to the final and the quarterfinals at Wimbledon in 2004, after Sprem had upset then defending champion Venus Williams.
Sprem worked Davenport around with some big serves and powerful forehands in the 1 hour, 25-minute match on Vodafone Arena, but let herself down with nine double-faults.
Davenport was consistent, winning 80 percent of points on her first serve, firing six aces, hitting 18 winners and playing what she described as "nice contained tennis."
"It was a really tough match," she said. "I knew she definitely had the ability to be dangerous, and that was the best that she's played against me.
"I felt like I was hitting the ball well, just not quite hitting my spots."
Davenport said Sprem's power surprised her at times.
"Maybe I was just caught a little off guard," she said. "But the more aggressive I could be, I felt like the match was in my favor.
"I was able to come through not playing perfect tennis but I still thought I did some things well - everything about the match was a positive for me."
Davenport next plays 25th-seeded Maria Kirilenko, who had a 7-6 (1), 6-4 win over fellow Russian Galina Voskoboeva.
French Open champion and eighth-seed Justine Henin-Hardenne had a 7-6 (2), 6-1 win over Hana Sromova, who badly turned her right ankle after the second game of the second set and lost the next five games.
In another women's match, Olga Savchuk of Ukraine beat Jelena Jankovic, the 23rd seed, 6-3, 6-4.
On the men's side, No. 7 Ivan Ljubicic, No. 8 Guillermo Coria and No. 11 David Ferrer advanced.
On Tuesday, Martina Hingis returned to Rod Laver Arena a little older, a little stronger and a little wiser, easily winning her first match in Melbourne since 2002 over Vera Zvonareva 6-1, 6-2.

Press Releases
June 6, 2008
It is increasingly clear that the only people who believe the Bush Administration's policies are working are the cheerleaders who reside and work at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
June 2, 2008
The Administration's focus today on tax cuts that are not due to expire for another two years shows again how they are out of touch with Americans' daily struggle to deal with the consequences of the President's failed economic program – anemic job growth, decreasing household incomes, exploding costs of gas, food, health care and college, record foreclosure rates, and rising poverty.
May 23, 2008
"As we observe the Memorial Day holiday, let us be reminded of the simple, yet apt words of Elmer Davis, Director of the U.S. Office of War Information during WWII: 'This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.'...
May 22, 2008
Our intelligence community has the tools it needs to keep America safe, and we are absolutely committed to ensuring that this remains the case.
May 21, 2008
For the first six years of the 21st Century, President Bush and Republican Congresses relied on a 20th Century energy policy that failed to reduce America's energy independence or address rising gas prices.
May 21, 2008
Today the House overwhelmingly rejected the President's misguided veto of the Farm Bill.
May 20, 2008
The cost of gas has now climbed to $3.79 per gallon, and oil has hit a record of $129 per barrel.
May 20, 2008
May 20, 2008
Senator Kennedy is a giant in the Senate, a wonderful public servant, and a great American.
May 15, 2008
I understand the differences of opinion on the war in Iraq.
May 13, 2008
It is absolutely inconceivable that, with gas prices climbing to $3.72 today, President Bush continues to oppose the bipartisan effort in Congress to give American consumers some relief from those high prices by temporarily suspending deliveries to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR).
May 7, 2008
As the second term of his failed presidency winds to an end, President Bush has little left on the agenda but finger-pointing.
May 6, 2008
Today, as another school year winds to a close, we honor the men and women whose determination, caring, and seemingly infinite patience made it possible: America's teachers.
May 5, 2008
Today, millions of Americans, Mexicans, and well-wishers around the world celebrate Cinco de Mayo.
May 1, 2008
With gas prices breaking records daily, I welcome the announcement by the Federal Trade Commission that it will move forward in fulfilling its statutory obligation to protect consumers against illegal market manipulation by the oil industry.
May 1, 2008
Throughout the month of May, we recognize the third annual Jewish American Heritage Month, an opportunity to reflect on the long history of Jewish Americans and to celebrate their many contributions to our nation.
May 1, 2008
Five years ago today, President Bush climbed out of a Navy jet, walked onto the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln, posed for the cameras beneath a MISSION ACCOMPLISHED banner, and declared: 'Major combat operations in Iraq have ended.'
May 1, 2008
I strongly support this historic, bipartisan legislation – the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) – which is the product of more than a dozen years of work and which is long overdue.
April 29, 2008
The President's comments on the economy today clearly demonstrate why his popularity is at record lows in national polls now, and why his Administration will be viewed by historians as a failure.
April 28, 2008
Today marks the beginning of 'Cover the Uninsured Week,' which is designed to remind us of the plight of the 47 million Americans who lack health insurance – despite living in the richest country in the world.

I love to design things!, working out how to solve a construction conundrum and create a new pattern is my idea of fun.
So Knitting ticks all my creative boxes. The wealth of shapes, colours and textures, that I can produce with yarn inspire me.
Spending time in my sunny studio with my Siamese cat for company whilst my hands are busy clicking the knitting needles, gives me time to plan new ideas, new patterns and new shapes!
Then of course, if it's a felted design there is the excitement of washing my projects and seeing the magical transformation into thick soft felt.
In 2007 I started selling my knitted and felted bags at Craft and design events, in 2010 I was awarded a Creative business bursary from Creative Leicestershire. Soon after that I started selling my patterns for other knitters to enjoy.
I wrote my first knitting pattern, the "Charlotte" hand bag, in 2006 and in 2015 I developed a variation of that pattern to be sold as a retail kit by House of Crafts.
Since then, I have diversified into knitting project designs and my patterns have been featured in "The Art of Knitting" magazine, published by Hachette Press,
You can easily knit your own Happy Hippo.
This cheerfully smiling hippo has moving jointed limbs and cute button eyes it is so quick to knit using large size needles and pure wool, then magically changed into thick soft felt by a ride in your washing machine!
This original hippo design is knitted in pure, hand wash wool and then transformed by a ride in a washing machine into soft strong felt.
Hippos legs are jointed so it can sit, stand or cuddle and its traditional button eyes twinkle above its huge smiling hippo mouth.
My clear and detailed pattern and 13 pages of fully illustrated instructions guide you step by step, through knitting, sewing up, felting, assembling and creating the face of your Hippo.
I guide you every step of the way so you can easily create your own felted Hippo toy.

Support for Bombing Iran Through Silence
Among other leftist groups, I get e-mails from MoveOn.org. At first I would read those missives but now I just delete most of them. An article by Norman Solomon on their opposition to the nuclear but not the conventional bombing of Iran keeps me convinced the delete button is the right choice. MoveOn's opposition to the Iraq war is not based on morality or even practicality, it is based on pure partisanship. If it was John Kerry's war then they would be all for it, no matter how bloody.
Let us not forget that George Bush's illegal war against Iraq had a precedent in Bill Clinton's illegal attack on Serbia. Just as there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq there was no genocide in Kosovo. Ethnic cleansing of Serbs, Jews, and Gypsies did occur in Kosovo but that was after Clinton's bombing made it possible. Both military excursions were justified by lies. MoveOn is an organization dedicated to perpetuating the falsehood that there is some kind of meaningful difference between the behavior of Democratic and Republican politicians.

Brain Boost: Beta Wave
More like a Brain Bummer.
With games like Brain Age and Big Brain Academy becoming Big Brain Blockbusters, developers might be tempted to stick the word "brain" into game titles -- chances are, it'll make for more ka-ching at cash registers worldwide. And why not? Somewhere, there's probably some sad schmuck who'll buy a Brain Boost game by mistake. But putting "brain" in the game's title invites a comparison to the other big-brain games -- and, unfortunately for Brain Boost, oops.
Neither of the Brain Boost games we played -- those were Brain Boost: Beta Wave and Brain Boost: Gamma Wave, for those of you taking notes -- were all that bad, per se. It's just that we really hated them. For a start, we doubt that either game markedly improved our concentration or our memory (which Beta and Gamma purport to do, respectively). What's more, the Brain Boost games are awfully, uh, boring. Each is made up of five simple minigames, each of which, in turn, quickly wears out its welcome. The minigames get more and more difficult, but no matter how easy or difficult the minigame, the whole thing is nonetheless an exercise in drudgery.
The Brain Boost games seem to make an effort, however, to disguise their own boringness. Despite their wafer-thin plots (suitable for skipping!), the games have quirky, well-designed little cartoon characters that are, sadly, sorely underutilized. Still, the games are visually pleasing, if cartoonish in their pedantry, with cuteness overcompensating for what is otherwise a lack of personality. We'd assume that the cartoons are here to make Brain Boost accessible to kids, but after playing through some of the more challenging minigame levels, we shudder to imagine a 10-year-old pressing on through Beta Wave.
Both Brain Boost: Beta Wave and Brain Boost: Gamma Wave emphasize visual and spatial reasoning, which -- for those who struggled with Brain Age, anyway -- will prove a pleasant game mechanic. Beta Wave puts greater weight on the math end of the equation, with its addition minigame by far the most demonic of the five short sequences. Brain Boost: Gamma sets out to improve your memory, and while you'll find yourself employing mnemonic devices like never before, each game is more or less a riff on a game of Concentration. The minigames don't suck, exactly, but there are only five, and there are only four levels of difficulty. So a Brain Boost game doesn't have much going on in it, except that the challenge curve is steep -- as if to make the five minigames last longer. Maybe we wouldn't feel so shortchanged if the two carts were crammed into one, but on the other hand, we doubt we could bear 10 artificially lengthened minigames.
Maybe most damning of all, Brain Boost doesn't feel as credible as other brain-teasing games. In the games' earliest stages, you'll find yourself consistently scoring 100 percent from the start. "You've finally done it!" the cartoon scientist will applaud. "Your right brain is 100 percent developed!" And if you move into the next level and fail miserably, the scientist apparently recants his earlier pronouncements and advises you to continue training. And while it's true that every brain training game is probably assisted with a healthy dose of pseudoscience, it's Brain Boost that shows its seams the most. And because of that, Brain Boost feels the most condescending.
And beyond that, Brain Boost is a bit of a nonentity. Other brain-training games are actually fun, luring people into training their brains even when they don't feel they have to. Those games are participatory, goal-oriented, and encouraging, with plenty of little goodies to keep a player's mind occupied. Brain Boost is a stark contrast, and except for some fleeting prettiness, there really won't be much to keep you. In short, the Brain Boost games are curt, emotionless, audacious, and as a tool for self-improvement, a little bit pointless.
