I know for sure that if kirino x kyousuke were not blood related. Everyone of them would change there point of view. I have seen much arguments so far. And i have made my conclusion. Them returning to being normal siblings my ass.
@thommythecat. We have heard your opinion a lot on this topic. But knowing that you haven't read volume 12 yet. I would advice you to do it when the full translations are out. Let us see if you still make the same conclusion
But knowing your opinion. I doubt it would change. Even if the writter gave you the biggest hint possible.

I'm sorry but that punch was hilarious with Kirino acting like a spoiled brat saying how she won, in that situation I don't fault Manami at all. Kirino poked the bear at it poked back it is a life lesson in either act like an adult or prepare yourself for the consequences.
It isn't really out of character either, she has a serious temper but she rarely brings it out because it breaks her facade of being the helpful grandma.

And reading the recorded message is also a part were I get more frustrated about manami. Even if it is socially acceptable what she did. I still don't like it.
I can't stop thinking about how lonely she felt at that time. Poor Kirino

However, with the rest of volume - no way. Even as of chapter 4 their intention are very clear. And rest of volume only keeps on supporting it. Plus, it shows that they are not left alone in dealing with problems - they have their friends support.
Spoiler for chapter 6:
With fuller picture about vol.12 content, I don't even hate those rumors about "bonus novel" vol.12 is already clear enough ☺
In the regard of "returning to normal relationship" one can easily guess, that it was not lie, but just not whole truth. When they started going out, nothing was said about time limit, right? Same story could be here yeah-yeah, but with another time limit, that Kyosuke conveniently forgot to mention ☺ They, sure, will need some time to prepare coming-out.

To make it clear (as it's quite confusing heh), in Chapter 1 a good portion of the descriptions and most of the relatively unimportant conversation was summarized. In Chapter 2 perhaps 70% is fully (twice) translated, the other 30% included summaries of the descriptions. Of Chapter 3 only the part where Kuroneko and Kyousuke are caught by Hinata and Tamaki includes summaries and since chapter 4 there is no summarizing going on.

3 years ago, if not for Manami involvement, if Kirino and Kyosuke ways was not taken apart, Kirino feeling could've just normally worn out. And she likely would not discover siscon eroge as source of references. Maybe even would not become otaku at all.
And even if Kirino feeling was still same, Kyousuke would not been able see her in romantic way.
And it finished this way thanks to Manami involvement too. If not for Manami (when she orchestrated vol.10's Kyousuke temporal-moving-out), Kyousuke confidence in himself would not have returned, and he likely won't have guts for confessing at time of vol.12.
Not sure if that was within her calculations, but no matter of hidden agenda, she definitely poured a lot of oil in Kirino and Kyousuke relationship.

the society thing I get it just seem like no one cared there. Not like here in the real world were we having this talk all the time. I just felt their should have been more against them not just her. Well I guess that's because not meany people know about. That and the siblings know better not to talk so the author got that right
how was she plotting with Ayase? all I recall was her saying Kyousuke and Ruri broke up.
Didn't Kirino come to Manami to talk about her feelings in away bring her into the relationship? With the "making him normal thing" she said he is normal I don't see it as questioning his quality. Just speaking the truth plus she just a kid her self so I don't the she know much about psychology at the time.
I see the punch as her frustration of not getting though to them so she snapping or venting plus with Kirino taunting didn't help. Kyousuke taunting like that seemed out out character too.
You could say having him Continuing to play the games all the time is in it's own way manipulative
well the last thing I'll say on her is in the end she seeming still loved them both.
She never talks to the parents or a teacher she keeps in to her self. She didn't want to put them in that spotlight of society. So in that I can't hate her, she made mistakes like all the rest.
I hope my reply's/thoughts are clear not trying to piss people off just ... I guess I'm defending Manami thou I'm not really trying to. Eh, looking at her actions logically would that be it?

Clovis City Manager Joe Thomas may face only a misdemeanor open-container charge following his Aug. 3 arrest in Quay County.
"It's my understanding that will be the case," Clovis Mayor David Lansford said Wednesday night.
State Police Lt. Rick Anglada said prosecutors told one of his colleagues more serious allegations of driving under the influence will not be pursued after a toxicology report received Wednesday showed no illegal drugs in Thomas' system following his arrest.
Thomas declined comment Wednesday evening.
Attempts to contact Thomas' lawyer, Hal Greig, and Quay County district attorney Ron Reeves on Wednesday were not immediately successful.
Anglada said the standard toxicology report includes results of screens for opiates (marijuana, THC) and barbituates (speed, LSD).
Thomas was arrested at a DWI checkpoint in Logan for DWI and having an open container.
Blood tests taken within an hour of Thomas' arrest showed a blood-alcohol level of .04, half of New Mexico's legal limit.
According to a police incident report, Thomas told officers he was on three medications for high blood pressure. Anglada said that was noted on the toxicology report.
Conviction on the open-container charge could result in a maximum fine of $25, officials said.
The Clovis City Commission took a wait-and-see approach in the days following Thomas' arrest. Lansford couldn't say what news of the toxicology report would mean for the commissioners.
"I think the city commission will evaluate whether to move forward," Lansford said, "but I don't want to speak for the city commission."

Happy, Healthy Holiday!
By Health Day
Patrick's Day without breaking your diet and fitness routine.
Big St. Patrick's Day plans? If so, here's a little healthy advice.
Nutrition specialists at St. Louis University Medical Center say you don't have to deprive yourself of your Irish favorites....you just have to make a few tiny adjustments at mealtime.
If corned beef is the main course...have some, but don't over do it. Corned beef is high in fat and very high in sodium, so watch your portion size. A three ounce portion is the recommendation here...which is about the size of a deck of cards.
Go easy on the potatoes, too...instead go for the green-and load up on the cabbage! It's low in calories and loaded with antioxidants.
It's also ok to celebrate with a nice dark Guinness but moderation is key here. For men, two beers is the max, and for women, it's just one. Drink water throughout the day...and that should quench your thirst.
And if you really want to make it a healthy holiday...opt for green tea...and add some green fruits and veggies like kale throughout your Irish holiday.
Top it all off with a little Irish dancing for exercise, and you'll have a celebration to remember.
I'm Dr. Cindy Haines of HealthDay TV with health information for healthier living.

A few years ago, I bought my first laptop, a 15-inch PowerBook. It was also my first Apple machine.
I had used Linux on my desktop exclusively for several years, but at that point did not want to go through the pain of tracking down the precise revision of a very specific laptop brand to find one that would work with Linux. (I also refuse to pay the Windows tax, as I would and do not use Windows.)
Through work, I received the opportunity for a sizable discount on a new PowerBook. Mac OS X 10.2 had recently come out and my Mac-using friends claimed that it was much more powerful and usable than previous versions. (Many of my friends still pined for the performance of Classic, especially on older hardware.)
I knew that Linux/PPC was one of the better-maintained non-x86 ports. Apple's hardware impressed me with its quality as well. It is certainly easier for free software developers to produce drivers for well-chosen, high-quality components. (Many other laptop manufacturers are less picky about changing components within a product line, which gives free software developers and users fits.)
I kept my Linux desktop, but moved most of my daily work to the laptop. I also repartitioned my hard drive and reinstalled Mac OS X to give myself space to use Linux/PPC. I tried to get used to Mac OS X for six months, but when a new version of XFree86 came out and supported my video card fully, I finally switched away from Mac OS X.
Why? There are plenty of reasons, most of them related to my primary goal.
I started using Linux in 1996 or 1997. Before that point, most of my PC experience was with DOS and Windows 3.1. I had some experience with Windows 95, but I was familiar with the command line.
I switched to a Linux desktop at home in late 1998 or early 1999. Though I've occasionally used other Unixes and even Windows at specific jobs, I've done all of my work with a free Unix desktop for several years.
My goal in buying the PowerBook was to continue working as normal but to be able to travel. That is, I wanted to do the same work with the same or equivalent applications in the same ways. I borrowed an iBook from a friend for a couple of weeks, asked a few other people about their experiences, and believed that Mac OS X could offer me a usable Unix desktop on a portable machine.
My goal wasn't to be able to use Mac OS X-specific software, nor did it have anything to do with any particular user interface. Perhaps my experience would have been different; I can't say.
I don't want to say that Mac OS X is a poor Unix desktop. Plenty of smart people enjoy it. It wasn't right for me, though as a Unix desktop, for several reasons.
I don't dislike Mac OS X in general, but it's not the operating system for me. It just didn't work the way I do. Maybe I'm stubborn, but if it takes me twice as long to do something with Mac OS X than it does on Linux and if there's no good way to change that on Mac OS X, I prefer Linux.
Several little frustrations finally combined to convince me that I am more productive with a Linux desktop.
I don't want to have icons on the desktop. I don't even want to see my hard drive on the desktop. I never use it. It is just a distraction -- everything that is visible on my screen should pertain to the task at hand.
I want working virtual desktops. Exposé is not a solution; by the time I've hit enough keys to make Exposé do its thing, watched its animation, and selected the correct application, I could be working with the correct application if I had proper virtual desktops selectable by key combination.
I tried several add-on programs to add virtual desktop support. None of them worked the way I want. (Edge flipping seems to be far beyond what these add-ons can do, though I once added it to an X11 window manager in a couple of hours, having never done it before.) Too many of them had their own weird bugs, like dragging windows between desktops when I only wanted to switch.
It was seriously disconcerting to click on a Terminal.app window in one desktop and have all of the other Terminal windows from all of the other desktops suddenly appear.
I want focus-follows-mouse.
I don't care how many usability studies Apple or Mac fans cite to prove that only babyeaters like these things. This is how I work. I'm most productive this way. I tried. I'm glad it works for you. It didn't work for me.
If I had the option to switch window managers, I would have done so. (I'm sure there's a shareware application somewhere that does this, but I never found one to catch my attention.)
Part-way through my trial, Apple released its own X11 server. I thought this would solve some of the problems I had with useful Unix programs such as OpenOffice.org. I thought perhaps I could even use XTerm to solve my Terminal.app woes.
Unfortunately, the X11 integration was a work in progress. At least, I hope it has progressed.
Apple's secret to the different copy-paste behavior of X11 is to run a separate X11 application that copies information from the two separate clipboards. That is, it's obviously possible to share information between Aqua and X11, but it's obviously not useful enough to do it by default. I don't understand that.
The fonts in OpenOffice.org were nearly unreadable. That surprised me immensely (the fonts on my Linux laptop are very nice, thank you). How could Apple distribute quality fonts for Mac OS X and Aqua and not make them available in X11? At a minimum, wouldn't the Verdana family be useful?
I barely want to mention installing Unix applications. Fink did a reasonable job of working around the lack of a useful package manager, but it was often painfully obvious how much of a workaround it was.
Software installation on Mac OS X hurt. (Remember, I don't use Windows. I don't care how much better this is when compared to Windows. I compare it to a Linux distribution with a decent package manager or a *BSD system or....) Who has time to hear about a cool new application, search for its homepage, find the correct package, download it, double-click on some file on the desktop, drag the app bundle out of the disk image, then store it in some other directory somewhere?
I'm not afraid of the command line. I'm perfectly capable of typing
sudo apt-cache search ... if
sudo apt-get install ... doesn't work the first time.
Again, Fink did its best, but for the types of software and applications I wanted to install (very little proprietary software), it was just too much work going through all of the monkey steps necessary just to run a program.
Sure, dragging an app bundle to a directory is easy, but getting that app bundle to reach the point where you can drag it is monkey work.
Don't even bring up the issue of uninstalling software. Again, dragging the app bundle to the trash is easy only after you have found the bundle, found all of the related files stored elsewhere, and made sure that you have removed the dependencies appropriately.
Because I've used Linux since 1996 or 1997, I've spent a lot of time working around and diagnosing bugs in software. I don't write a lot of C code, but I know how to wrangle
strace, and a few other diagnostic utilities.
Perhaps it was my unfamiliarity with Mac OS X or Darwin, but I couldn't figure out how to use these or similar tools when I encountered problems.
For example, I had a problem for a while with Mail.app behaving exceedingly slowly, displaying only the spinning wait cursor and not staying put on its one specific virtual desktop. I couldn't find any helpful help online and didn't get any useful error messages when running the program from the command line (if that even worked -- I don't remember).
Under Linux, it's easy to
strace kmail 2>> kmail.trace and read the log to see what's going on.
At least, I never figured out how to make this work on Mac OS X. It wasn't a big issue most of the time, but it was frustrating when it happened. Perhaps it was my infamiliarity with the platform rather than any particular lack of tools or documentation. Still, it feels much easier to find debugging and diagnostic information for Linux.
After rejecting the fourth or fifth iTunes update in a row, I realized that the updates had come so frequently because Apple wanted to prevent people from sharing their music.
I don't download copyrighted MP3s and I used iTunes perhaps twice, but I realized that Apple could push a big binary blob of updates to an application and, if I accepted them, I would have no easy way of seeing what the updates were nor of refusing specific ones if I wanted.
I never use the source code to most of the software I use, but I do use some of it occasionally. I missed that freedom. I hated reporting a bug in Mail.app to a big black hole and never knowing if anyone ever even read the bug report. (I don't remember what it was, but I do remember that it persisted until I switched.)
Ultimately, this was the biggest reason I switched back to Linux. To use Mac OS X effectively, I would have to adapt to the system. The system would not adapt to my way of working. We were incompatible -- and, at least in my world, the human wins in this case.
There were a few other persistent annoyances, such as the case-insensitive default file system. Why? (If you use UFS instead of HFS+, just try getting support from Apple or installing proprietary software, or....)
Why did the classic Unix utilities not work with resource forks?
Why did I have to install the complete developer tools set just to get
gcc and the development headers and even complete documentation for Perl and Ruby?
How in the world does the linker work?
I don't expect any operating system to be perfect and I do expect to do some customization. However, the assumptions Apple made about how I should work are very different from how I do work. I understand that my preferences and predilections are fairly unique to Apple's core audience and that Apple wants to optimize their system for people who don't use a windowing system primarily to present three Vim sessions and a
bash prompt simultaneously.
However, that means that their system isn't for me.
Linux/PPC has its problems too. If you've tried it and hated it, that's fine. It's not for everyone. I find its problems much less frustrating than Mac OS X, so I use it.
Most of my frustrations with my current system are due to its relative unpopularity in a world dominated by x86-compatible machines. For the most part, running only free software ameliorates this issue. (Of course, there are very few opportunities to run proprietary software.)
The Linux kernel runs on many, many architectures. For desktop users, there's one architecture worth worrying about: x86 compatible. (Okay, there are 64-bit processors too, but they're hardly as different as PPC is.)
If I wanted to run a binary blob video driver (I don't, but some people do), what are the chances that anyone would think to build a version for Linux/PPC? Bad example? Try Java. I can install IBM's JRE 1.4.2, but nothing more recent from Sun. Java 5 came out in 2004. (People tell me that I can get newer versions, but I'm sticking with my packaging system. Life's too short to manage dependencies manually.)
The same rule applies to larger free software packages such as X.org and OpenOffice.org. I don't really want to compile the latter myself. (This isn't a complete loss; MySQL AB does provide Linux/PPC binaries, in part due to a bug I filed.)
Perhaps I'd have better luck if I switched to an Ubuntu/PPC distribution, but as Apple stops shipping PPC machines, there will likely be even fewer people using the platform. The smaller the target audience, the less testing there is and the longer it takes for a distribution to mark updates as stable.
A related issue is that a lot of software makes unportable assumptions about memory layout. That is, which bits in a piece of memory are the most significant and which bits are the least significant?
A few projects that perform high-performance bit-twiddling code (think cryptography or image and video editing) broke on my machine with upgrades, as the developers of those projects made unportable assumptions about endianness. Fortunately, this hasn't been a problem in over a year, but it does point out a further problem with running a niche platform.
This isn't all bad, however. The likelihood of having a remote exploit due to a buffer overflow is low; how many attackers are capable of writing Linux PPC shellcode?
Sticking with software for which I can get and modify source code does have an advantage here if the software is important enough that it's worth my time and effort to make it work. (Don't laugh. I've done this more than once.)
My list of annoyances with Linux/PPC is short. My list of annoyances with Mac OS X was more substantial. Those aren't the only factors in my decision, however. By switching, I gave up some nice features that I miss. They aren't worth switching back, but I do miss them.
I have never used an operating system or piece of hardware with better networking support than Mac OS X. I've looked for similar tools for Linux, but I haven't found anything I like better than a little shell script I wrote myself. That doesn't mean they don't exist -- it's probably incomplete driver support for my hardware.
Still, this is an excellent feature on Mac OS X and I miss it.
Though I hate binary drivers, it's difficult to argue with working hardware. All of my hardware works sufficiently under Linux (including my scanner, which is more than I can say with Mac OS X), so it's not a big issue.
Still, having to wait for full and fully-open video card, modem, and wireless card support was frustrating. It's the fault of the manufacturers of course, but I do wish I had had full support from the day of purchase.
For the most part, I have never had any significant trouble connecting my laptop running Mac OS X to remote displays. Occasionally I had to change the resolution and refresh rate, but I expect that as the properties of remote displays are often different.
I have never tried to do the same under Linux, though I keep meaning to do so. I suspect that it might be easier with newer versions of X.org, but it has not come up yet.
I've never used SubEthaEdit, even under its previous name. It looks like a nice tool. It may never replace Vim for me, but collaborative note taking is convenient in certain circumstances.
I will never switch to a different platform solely for a text editor, though.
Having multiple applications aware of zero-configuration networking via Bonjour is a very nice feature, however. I would like to see the same on desktop Linux -- especially on laptops.
Mail.app had some nice features and some frustrating features. It worked very well in offline mode, at least for me. I do miss the ability to disable one account. That is, it's nice to disable checking for my work account at 5:01 p.m. on Friday afternoon and not enable it again until 8:59 a.m. Monday morning.
open Command
... but I made my own.
Some of the Mac advocates I know have their own happinesses with their systems. I'm sure they're nice features, but I don't use them, so I don't miss them. I include a few only to forestall some criticisms along the lines of "Did you try program X? It's worth switching away from an operating system you find usable to an operating system you find otherwise frustrating!"
I know how to use
gcc from the command line and I'm happy with Vim as my text editor. For example, I never could figure out how to make the Mac OS X linker do what I wanted... but the solution doesn't seem to be switching text editors or writing Makefiles visually.
(My specific problem was trying to load the SDL libraries from Perl and Parrot. Even after reviewing the code and how it worked on every other Unix-like platform, I couldn't figure out what went wrong, nor if Mac OS X couldn't find the libraries or couldn't open them correctly.)
I'm sure Spotlight is wonderful. I doubt I'll ever use it.
I'm sure GarageBand is amazing and fantastic and superlative. I doubt I'll ever use it.
Maybe Aqua would have been faster if I'd stood in line at midnight for a $129 t-shirt and a "free" OS upgrade, but
emerge and
apt-get work, for me at least, much better, cheaper, and faster. Sure, I don't get the t-shirt, but I can hold off on installing things that I absolutely do not need.
I don't care about running Microsoft Office. I have AbiWord and Gnumeric, and if I really need it, OpenOffice.org.
Okay, I wish I could play some games... but most of the computer games I have are old enough to run really well under Wine/x86 or have native Linux ports.
I don't edit many photos or any movies. I don't care about iTunes. I have applications for everything I really need to do.
Some people call Aqua shiny. I don't really care (except that the brushed metal interfaces are amazingly ugly). My Linux desktop looks just fine, with muted colors, anti-aliased fonts, and nothing I didn't put there. I don't miss little launching poofs or minimizing animations. I don't miss an infinite-height per-application menu bar. I usually use the keyboard shortcuts.
Some people will likely say "But you have to spend so much time tweaking Linux to get it the way you want!" To that I respond that I don't even have the option of tweaking Mac OS X to work the way I want. I have a handful of important shortcuts and configuration files that work on just about any Linux or free Unix system I will ever use.
The real issue is I feel, well, hampered every time I try to do serious work on Mac OS X. Again, that's just a personal preference. I know plenty of other programmers who produce good code happily within the system. For whatever reason, it just doesn't fit the way I work.
I tried Mac OS X. I think I gave it a fair trial. I recommend it to people if I think it will work for them. It's not a bad system. It couldn't displace Linux on my desktop, though.

- Regarding the line-of-sight baryonic acoustic feature in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey luminous red galaxy samples

- Abstract
- We analyze the line-of-sight baryonic acoustic feature in the two-point correlation function ξ of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey luminous red galaxy (LRG) sample (0.16 < z < 0.47). By defining a narrow line-of-sight region, rp < 5.5 h -1 Mpc, where r p is the transverse separation component, we measure a strong excess of clustering at ∼110 h -1 Mpc, as previously reported in the literature. We also test these results in an alternative coordinate system, by defining the line of sight as θ < 3° where θ is the opening angle. This clustering excess appears much stronger than the feature in the better-measured monopole. A fiducial ACDM nonlinear model in redshift space predicts a much weaker signature. We use realistic mock catalogs to model the expected signal and noise. We find that the line-of-sight measurements can be explained well by our mocks as well as by a featureless ξ = 0. We conclude that there is no convincing evidence that the strong clustering measurement is the line-of-sight baryonic acoustic feature. We also evaluate how detectable such a signal would be in the upcoming Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) LRG volume. Mock LRG catalogs (z < 0.6) suggest that (1) the narrow line-of-sight cylinder and cone defined above probably will not reveal a detectable acoustic feature in BOSS; (2) a clustering measurement as high as that in the current sample can be ruled out (or confirmed) at a high confidence level using a BOSS-sized data set; (3) an analysis with wider angular cuts, which provide better signal-to-noise ratios, can nevertheless be used to compare line-of-sight and transverse distances, and thereby constrain the expansion rate H(z) and diameter distance DA(z).

Dordt College News
Pizza Ranch Soccer Classic Opens Friday
August 29, 2013
GAMETIME… Dordt College will host Davenport (Michigan) and Graceland (Iowa) on Friday, August 29. The men's game with Davenport gets underway at 3:00 and the women's game will start at 5:00. The games can be heard on a webcast at www.dordt.edu/athletics and results will be posted on www.dordt.edu/athletics ; https://www.facebook.com/dordtdefenders and https://twitter.com/dcathletics .
SCOUTING REPORT… This will be the season opener for Davenport after compiling an 8-9-1 record last season. Davenport had built an 8-4 record before dropping five decisions and being involved in a tie in the other contest. Last year's team was outscored 32-26 and held a sight 107-106 shots on goal advantage.
The top returning scorer for Davenport is Stuart Collins with three goals and five assists in 2012. Dino Duratovic collected four assists and had a pair of goals last year and Mirza Harambasic played 860 minutes in goal and had 47 saves and 23 goals allowed—a 2.41 per-90 minutes played average.
Graceland is off to a 2-0 start with shut out wins over Grand View and Bellevue. The Yellow Jackets are rated #13 in the pre-season coaches' poll and went 17-3-1 last season with a ten game winning streak from mid-September to mid-October. This season Graceland has outshot opponents on goal by a 15-8 margin and they hold a 28-16 overall shots advantage.
Stephanie D'Cruz has a team high three goals this season and Stefany Castano Cardozo has made eight saves while registering a pair of shutouts.
Last season Graceland outscored teams 40-22 and return three of its top four goal scorers from that season. Courtney Codilla scored six goals and Sydney Nolan had five. Sarahi Ortiz Casillas is the top returning goal scorer with seven goals and Stefany Castano Cardozo logged 1,581 minutes in goal and had a 0.863 goals allowed per-90 minutes played average.
DORDT COLLEGE NOTES… The Defender women will be playing in their season opener after posting a 1-14-3 record. The Defenders fought to ties with Waldorf, Mount Mercy and Dakota Wesleyan while beating AIB.
Sarah Byron scored four goals for the Defenders and is back for her senior season. Megan Knapper scored twice and returns and Marissa Le Duc had three assists in 2012.
The Defender men are 0-1-0 after a loss to Mount Mercy last week. In 2012 the Defenders were 10-8-1 and finished the GPAC season with a mark of 6-3-1. Dordt lost in a quarterfinal round GPAC Tournament contest to end the 2012 season.
The Defenders outscored teams 47-31 and outshot teams 149-132.
Dordt returns its top 2012 goal scorer in Eric Grootenboer, a Chatham, Ontario native, found the net 11 times and also assisted on four goals. Brady Van Holland was the leading assist man for Dordt last season with eight and scored six times and earned all-GPAC honors at the conclusion of the season. Steven Talsma also scored four times and had two assists. Jon Brinkerhoff played all 1,742 available minutes in goal and allowed a 1.60 goal average per 90 minutes played and he also made 92 saves.
THE SERIES… This is the first meeting between the Dordt Defenders and Davenport in men's soccer while the Defenders and Graceland have squared off twice in women's soccer with the Yellow Jackets sweeping the two meetings in 2005 and 2006.
LAST TIME… This weekend marks the season opener for the Dordt women and for the Davenport men.
The Dordt men lost a 1-0 decision to Mount Mercy on Saturday, August 23 in their only previous action to this weekend. Dordt had a chance to tie the game late in the first half on a penalty kick that ended up ringing off the post. Dordt was outshot on goal by a 7-3 margin.
Graceland scored a 3-0 win over Bellevue on Sunday while outshooting the Bruins 11-6. D'Cruz scored two of Graceland's goals and Castano Cardoza had six saves in goal.
NEXT UP…… Davenport's and Graceland will each play Northwestern on Saturday as the Pizza Ranch Classic continues. Dordt is scheduled to host John Brown (Arkansas) on Saturday with the men starting at 1:00 and the women at 3:00.

Bill Clinton's Diet
Bill Clinton loved hamburgers from McDonald's. He used to eat a typical American high calorie, high fat, meat-based diet. No more. He had a heart attack and a quadruple bypass in 2004. Recurrent blockages required placement of two stents in February 2010. This got his attention and he went on a strict new diet, losing 24 pounds to get back down to what he weighed in high school.
He is now a vegan.
I live on beans, legumes, vegetables, fruit. I drink a protein supplement every morning — no dairy, I drink almond milk mixed in with fruit and a protein powder so I get the protein for the day when I start the day up.
I did all this research, and I saw that 82 percent of the people since 1986 who have gone on a plant-based, no dairy, no meat of any kind, no chicken, no turkey — I eat very little fish, once in a while I'll have a little fish — if you can do it, 82 percent of people have begun to heal themselves.

Received my Tog rigs the other day and they are very nice,better then I expected and on time for the season. Thanks guys I am very pleased with your prompt delivery and great products.
Opinion of hunter 2 about:
These rods work great when trolling spoons. I am a big fan of the entire Maja system. The pulsing of the rods tip shows you that the spoon is swimming correctly. When it comes to fighting a fish they perform well. I also use these rods for trolling other lures like stretchs and umbrella rigs

Sutak gives auditor's report
ST. CLAIRSVILLE Belmont County Auditor Andrew Sutak visited commissioners during their Wednesday meeting as part of County Government Month and gave a presentation on the duties of his office. These include general accountant, real estate, licensing, and weights and measures. In addition, Sutak acts as an agent for the state for services including vendor's licensing.
His general accountant duties include administration and distribution of tax revenues. He is also accountant for all funds that come through the county, including taxes, special assessments, sales tax, local government funds, grant funding, interest, and agency revenues that come from state and federal sources.
In addition, his office covers the administration of county payroll for all county employees.
"We have over 500 employees. We must take care of the payroll of those employees," he said, adding that this includes not only making their paychecks, but taking out federal and state taxes, retirement, and other factors. The office is responsible for quarterly reports to the state and federal level. "It's a very, very technical position of administering these types of duties."
The auditor's office also produces a comprehensive annual financial report for county, state and federal government. Sutak cited advantages including better accountability and better ability to borrow funds when needed.
Responsibilities include payment of county obligations.
"Every payment to any business or agency or anything, my office provides that," he said.
In addition, the auditor's office distributes tax dollars to townships for county and public agencies. Sutak made particular note of the effects on townships from cuts to local government. Since the distribution was cut by 50 percent during the past two years, they are no longer able to set aside funds for equipment instead of using the normal operating budget.
"That has gone to the wayside. What we're collecting is barely enough to give back to the townships for them to operate," Sutak said, adding that cutbacks to personal property tax and utility taxes have hampered services to constituents. The only options left are levies.
"There's no additional money coming in to help subsidize that, and that's because of the cuts that come down from the state," he said.
In addition, statues require the auditor to appraise and assess real estate. He explained the process of preparing taxes rates on the levies, sending the information to the state capital, which informs the county of each taxing district's effective millage rate distribution based on evaluation of real estate and public utility personal property in each district.
Manufactured homes such as trailers must be registered with his office, including special assessments for utilities and services.
Sutak pointed out several beneficial programs such as the Homestead Exemption allows people 65 and older a $25,000 reduction in the market value of their home when they apply. They are taxed at 35 percent of that reduced market value, which is what the millage rates are applied to.
He also brought up Current Agricultural Use Evaluation, which has helped give tax breaks to farmers. Since farmers often have considerable land, they are eligible for tax reduction if they are farming. Renewals are processed by the auditor's office yearly and it is Sutak's duty to see that the statutes are being followed.
His office also deals with the property tax rollback for homeowners.
He noted the general accounting includes $203 million received each year, which is expected to increase due to oil and gas revenues.
"It's not here yet but it's coming," he said, adding that a high volume of oil and gas traffic is expected.
"Oil and gas is going to be our backbone," he said.
He added that it can be difficult to predict some budgetary items due to factors such as natural gas being a market driven extraction based on demand.
He has also been requesting that the state accelerate the ability to tax current. As of now, someone extracting gas this year will get their first tax bill in 2015.
In other matters, Ohio statutory law mandates general reappraisal every six years, requiring his office to see that buildings and land is uniformly assessed for tax purposes. He also must provide a update of any new construction in the county every three years.
He also reminds residents that taxes do not automatically increase when valuation increases. The voted levies are rolled back when value goes up.
"We're never collecting the full millage on the voted levies, but what we are collecting full millage is the inside 10 mills," he said, adding that each taxing district has 10 mills inside.
Weights and measures also fall under the auditor's authority. This is includes checking gas pumps to ensure the calibration of gas is going into the vehicle correctly.
"What you pay for a gallon of gas is what you should be getting for a gallon of gas, and that's my job to make sure that happens," Sutak said.
Sutak also serves as secretary of the Budget Commission, the Board of Revision, Records Commission, and the Tax Incentive Review Council.

By Ebony Hahn, Class of 2011
PRINCESS ANNE, MD - (March 15, 2011) - Some 200 University of Maryland Eastern Shore students turned out the Tuesday night before spring break to hear Finesse Mitchell, a former Saturday Night Live cast member, dispense advice about relationships and on being a college student.
Aside from acting and comedy, Mitchell writes a monthly column in ESSENCE magazine and is the author of "Your Girlfriends Only Know So Much." Both offer advice to readers on love and relationships.
Five male UMES students and Mitchell took center stage at the Student Services Center theatre to create a "panel of experts" that would attempt to answer relationship questions posed by women in the audience.
"I'm very silly, so this should be pretty interesting," he said as he kicked off the discussion on "What Men Really Want."
Audience members took turns approaching the microphones to propose their questions and concerns.
The all-male panel answered questions that tackled candid topics of intimacy, dating and commitment.
"Women look to fall in love with the right men and men look to fall in love at the right time," was one key point Mitchell made when discussing emotional commitment.
While Mitchell's main message was delivering relationship advice, he also encouraged students to focus on graduating.
"Concentrate on (getting good) grades and getting your career together first and then concentrate on love and …on whatever else comes after that," Mitchell said.
After two hours of answering the most anticipated questions proposed by audience members, the event finally came to a close. Each panel member stated his perspective of "what men really want."
Mitchell left the guys in the audience with one last word of advice.
"Once you get a little bit older, you go with somebody who always makes you look good, feel good and you're happy to be around them," he said. "When you find that, you'll know it."
Mitchell has a new show coming out called A.N.T. Farm, where he will play the father of House of Payne star China McClain. It will air on the Disney Channel.
# # #
Ebony Hahn, an English major from Columbus, Ohio, will graduate in May 2011.

Beat by LA
- 5-4 Dodgers
Chris Young started and threw two great innings. He just made one mistake to Mitch Jones, who hit a bomb to give the Dodgers a 1-0 lead. They added to that lead in the 5th with an unearned run when second baseman David Eckstein booted a ball. But the Padres grabbed one of those back with an RBI by Eckstein (redemption!) in the bottom of that inning. In the 6th, Gabe DeHoyos gave up three runs, including a two-run homer from Blake DeWitt to increase the Dodgers' lead to 5-1. The Padres fought back a little, getting a run in the 6th and the 7th each. They also got a run in the bottom of the 9th, but it was not enough. We lost to the Dodgers 5-4.
Our pitchers actually did pretty well. CY only allowed one run, but otherwise was really sharp. Cla Meredith, Chris Britton, Ernesto Frieri, Will Inman, and Mike Ekstrom all threw scoreless frames. Our hitters had 10 hits. Kyle Blanks and Nick Hundley has two hits each. You know, we haven't scored that many runs, but our hitting has been pretty good. We've scored four runs in the last three games.
Today is an off-day, the first of four this month for the Padres. Tomorrow we will be facing the Texas Rangers in Surprise with Cha Seung Baek starting.
My two younger brothers are playing baseball with the city this spring, and my brother's first game was last night. It was so cool to watch some baseball, even at almost the lowest level of play! It was really cold, but I had my Padres blanket, so I was pretty good. It was a neat game. My brother's team lost like 8-3, but it was really fun to watch. I will definitely be going to many more of his games! I'm thinking that I'll start doing write-ups and keeping score. It would be good practice for me. Anyways, here's a picture from early in the game:
Ah yes, that beautiful San Diego sunset🙂
Thank you for your great response to my latest tribute to Trevor. I feel like that is one of the best pieces I have ever written. It really just flowed from my heart to my fingers. So, thank you!

I am SO jealous right now of those of you who live in places where you can play baseball outside! Here? 5 degrees this morning!
How old is your brother that he is the lowest level, yet he has a realistic score like 8-3? I watch my little sister and the score is like 30-28. The sad thing is she is ten years old and they still don't know how to play. They are so bad I can't watch them without kicking myself.
I love David Eckstein. I am glad to see he is doing okay in San Diego. Maybe today he had an error but he got an RBI and he got a triple I believe against the Indians.
I love your picture. It is beautiful.
JULIA, wow, that's pretty cold! It is pretty nice here…
MET'S MAIN MAN, he's ten, but I think a lot of the kids have had a few years experience. I know what you mean, I was just laughing over some of the plays. Why can't they do things as well as the major leaguers??🙂
BOB, that's very cool, in more ways than one!
MELISSA, I am sure that he will do really well with us. Thanks!
I also used a blanket in FL today….but the nice man on the TV promises me it will be warmer tomorrow :O)
hey thanks for checking out my blog. Yeah so far it's fun blogging MLB. So how are ya? love your blog baby, keep it goin!
Wow, that does look very pretty!
Please do start doing write-ups about your brother's games! I remember when I was 10 and just starting to play softball, and we made a lot of not-exactly-gold-glove plays…but it was fun. Kids' games are better because they aren't doing it for money. There's the occasional crazy parent, but it's mostly just fun…
I am ready to see some live baseball, too! It won't be long!
So cold in San Diego is relative right?! Probably a frigid 65 degrees eh? That's great you got to see some baseball at whatever level!
No pity for me, but it's actually cold in Tampa right now – in the 40s tonight!

A blog about my journey with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome including HHV 6, EBV, C. Pneumonia, Bartonella, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, and Biotoxin Illness
Tuesday, May 21, 2013
Incompetent Doctors
I love the bedroom and the acre of land, the chickens, and the fact that it gets really warm.
My roommates are not warm though. They are a couple who clearly do not want a roommate. They want the money but that's about it.
I asked about water damage and mold and was told no mold nor water damage/leaks. In fact, they own the house and one of them rebuilt it so I thought I was safe.
I'm not. As I was going down the stairs last week I could smell mold. The laundry room reeks of mold. The dishwasher smells like mold as does the kitchen sink.
And there's that dripping sound in the wall when I use the hot water. As I'm living here I can see how much the owners have neglected things that can result in water leaks.
Ever since moving here I've been trying to find a doctor and a psychiatrist. I was able to get a doctor's appointment for today. I had waited 2 months for this appointment. I did all the usual preparation.
I anticipated some skepticism regarding "cfs" but I didn't expect the hostility I was met with once I told him my diagnosis.
He hassled me on every single friggin medication I was on except for the gabapentin. He refused to fill my medications saying there is nothing wrong with me.
He said the reason my heart beats fast (POTS) is because I'm too thin. Ha! I told him I was diagnosed when I was 40-50 pounds heavier (I'm 5'8 and weigh 119).
He proceeded to tell me that what I needed was a psychiatrist. I said great! He said but none of the psychiatrists in our system take Medicare so "here's the number to community clinics" see ya.
I told him that in all my years of being sick that I had never been hassled about my medications and illness like I was today (well the optometrist was also bad and weird about cfs) and then I did the ugly cry in spite of trying not to. I'm not on any narcotics. He was upset that I'm on clonopin, flexeril, antibiotics, and antivirals. He said it was inappropriate and dangerous.
I told him I'm having severe back pain with sciatica going down my left leg and that I'd had back surgery in 2006 and that epidurals help. He refused to refer me for an epidural, refused to prescribe NSAIDS (told me to take Advil which I can't do for long because I have GASTRITIS).
I told him about toxic mold. He didn't believe me.
When I said I'm bedbound without the medications he sneered and said it wasn't because of any REAL illness.
I've been so isolated since moving. I thought living with people would ease that but its actually made it worse. Being pointedly avoided wears on a person's spirit.
I can't get any help in this shitty town.
So I'm bailing. I found someone who will buy my car. He said he needs to wait one more month which would have been fine but I need to leave sooner than later. A second guy is interested so I'm going to contact him on Thursday.
It's time to move on and it might be time to do something radical-like get a cargo van and convert it or an old U-haul and convert that and live a mobile lifestyle.
All I know is I can't tolerate much more of this. I have to do something differently.
Oh, the local paper had a series of articles on the higher than average rate of depression and suicides in this area along with reports of toxins in the environment.

Glad to hear you found a place, sorry to hear it's so lousy :(
It makes me SO MAD to hear about that doctor. I'm so sorry you had to go through that.
I get excited thinking about the mobile lifestyle for you, if you think you can handle it. I know Joey from healclick.com built a mold proof trailer and has lived in the desert and then up in Montana in the summer. It sound wonderful. Relatively speaking, anyway.
I'm trying to get back into blogging, btw. I don't know why it's been so hard. Trying to keep it up. Hopefully something will get better for you soon.

Just wanted to give you more validation since I know how hard everything is when one's so ill. Unfortunately, I suspect that we constantly need validation b/c we have a cruddy illness(ss)which most doctors still don't believe. It's not narcissism. It's survival. Good job!

That was too bad! I guess the doctor should have been more diplomatic on giving his advice, and tried to understand your situation more. Although judging from how you said the conversation went, there was little chance of that happening. I do hope your move was successful, and that you found a doctor that understands your medical needs.

Examining Realism In Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy
One could argue Batman Begins ushered in an era of darker, more realistic super hero films. Gone were the garish colors, cheesy one-liners, and "nippled" armor. But how realistic was Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy? In honor of the 6 disc Blu-ray Ultimate Collector's Edition, out this week, we take a look.
The Gadgets and Equipment:
A preface: Projects for the military can be expensive (it can cost billions of dollars to design and prototype vehicles) so consider money no object for Wayne Enterprises. Just because something doesn't exist yet doesn't mean it's not plausible, if you throw enough money at it.
The grapple gun is used constantly by the Caped Crusader, considering he can't fly like other super heroes. Batman can fire the weapon at the edges of buildings and get lifted away seconds later, or use it to descend and get the jump on baddies like he did in Batman Begins. However, such a device doesn't exist yet - not that people aren't trying. An MIT student made a 25 pound belt that can lift someone up to 250 pounds 50 feet into the air… although at a very low speed. Technology is based on making things smaller and smaller while allowing them to still function - so the grapple gun as it is seen in the trilogy is plausible.
The Bat-Suit has always been iconic - but it was a hindrance until Christopher Nolan's trilogy. Remember Batman and Batman Returns, where Michael Keaton had to turn his whole body to look at you? Gone, thanks to the new Bat-Suit. In the Dark Knight Trilogy, his suit features bullet-proof armor: Kevlar bi-weave and reinforced joins make sure he can withstand some firepower. Kevlar is currently in use by American military forces and police.
After being upgraded in The Dark Knight, the suit features over 100 separate plates over a "titanium mesh." Similar ceramic plates are being developed by private companies like Ceradyne for military use. Numerous, smaller plates allow for more motion than a single Kevlar piece, which allows him to do simple things like turn his head. As a bonus, the suit features Nomex, which is a real material made by DuPont (who also makes Kevlar) and is flame-resistant.
In Batman Begins, Bruce Wayne is shown "memory cloth," which would allow him to create a cape that could suddenly extend and remain rigid when given an electric or magnetic charge, allowing him to glide from high places. Similar cloth is in development by scientists, but it's not something we've figured out how to do to the degree of The Dark Knight. Plus, landing is an issue: falling from such heights would generate tons of speed, and today's "wing suits" feature a parachute slows them down to land - something Batman doesn't use. So while gliding is plausible, Batman still needs to figure out a way to get back on his feet!
Remember the informant in Hong Kong being whisked away by an airplane in The Dark Knight? That system exists - and has since the 1960s under the name Skyhook. As helicopters became more prevalent the idea of picking someone up via Skyhook died - unless you needed to pull someone out the side of a building like Batman did.

Gov. Scott Walker's budget doesn't raise hunting or fishing license fees but pumps millions of dollars more into combating aquatic pollution.
The budget Walker released Wednesday would provide an additional $24 million to reduce nonpoint water pollution as well as $85,000 for measuring lake water quality.
The budget would implement a number of recommendations a Texas researcher made to the state Department of Natural Resources last summer on how to improve the agency's relationship with deer hunters, including creating mini-hunts, creating updated maps of the state and continuing chronic wasting disease surveillance.
The budget also would allow the DNR to use $10.5 million in stewardship land acquisition dollars on road repairs and boat access improvements on stewardship property as well as for renovations at the Kettle Moraine Fish Hatchery.

On behalf of Horse Tales Literacy Project (formerly the Black Stallion Literacy) and Star of Texas Arabian Horse Club, I would like to thank the following for making this year's event such a success:
Thank you to Commissioners Court for the use of the coliseum to hold the second part of the event and to Shelby Rosales and Armando Salazar for having everything ready for us and being on hand to assist us; Beeville Rotary Club for its continued support in buying books for the students; the teachers and aides at both R.A. Hall Elementary and St. Mary's Academy Charter School for their continued support of this program; and our Star Club members and friends who volunteered their time and horses to make this such a special event. You all contributed to give approximately 150 first-graders a special day of learning and reading to horses.
This is our seventh year to sponsor this event in Bee County, bringing horses and first-graders together to get them excited about reading; once they meet the characters in the book, they can't wait to read and find out what happens to the boy and his little black pony.
If any first-grade class in Bee County would like to participate in the 2014 event, please contact me at 358-2320.

This has been happening a lot to WP, but i think this should apply to all sponsors, domestic and international..That is completely ridiculous
Hey guys,
I just wanted to take a quick minute to talk about our fellow sponsors and how SOME of the members of this board try to rip them off....they feel they can get away with getting free products or having their order resent, because of the lack of English they speak. The customer goes back and forth with the sponsor in hope that the sponsor will just give up and send a few more bottles or possibly another order. I have seen this happen MANY times with my own eyes, and I have even read where some guys were boasting about how they got free gear and such.
And yes, I'm mostly talking about WP here. The man is one of the hardest working men that I know....he works his ass off and has minimal team members. He does 90% of the work all on his own. He does have partners in other parts of the wold if you order certain things HE does not carry locally.
In a long story short, I have had him as a sponsor on many of the boards that I used to own and work on. He started getting a trend of people stating that they did not get their xanax. That happens when you deal with junkies. I told him to only offer it to customers that have spent a good $500-$1000 on AAS before they are allowed to do so. I heard a guy in my GYM that said he was going to get some test prop from WP....AND NOT PAY FOR IT!! Yep, that's what he said. I asked if you had a special relationship wit WP.....he said, "no, I just bitch a few times and he sends me shit". I flipped my shit when I heard this and almost made him swallow a plate as if it was a tic tack.
Those of you who try and scam WP should damn well be ashamed of yourselves. The man has been in this business for at lease 1/2 dozen years....he's not going to risk it all on some xanny head or two lousy bottles. A line has to be drawn. YES...it was I who told him not to resend shit without a customs letter. Man works his fuckn ass off and does all he can to make everyone a happy customer....than you have others that try to take advantage of his kindness. Like I said, I worked with him for many many years....and he is not going to risk his business over a pack of xanax or a couple bottle of oil.
I'm not pointing ANY fingers here at anyone....so please don't PM me or ask me to get involved in a situation that is ongoing. I have worked with WP on several occasions, and with all the right paperwork and money trails, we have always come to a conclusion and understanding. But like that fucker at my GYM who said he's going to get some free gear from WP by just complaining a few times....those of you you who are like him should all rot away. Those of you being honest....my hat comes off to you for being sheer gentlemen.
"I'm Your Huckleberry"
This has been happening a lot to WP, but i think this should apply to all sponsors, domestic and international..That is completely ridiculous
yeah I don't want to get involved in any current or past drama but people that order need to also understand that if a sponsor DOES flip their shit and I don't mean just WP by any stretch that its probably because some jerk comes along and tries to scam them daily, so they're suspicious right out of the gate. Wouldn't you be a bit jaded if everyone was trying to get something off you for free every day?
Look peeps, showing a customs letter is standard for international before a reship...it usually takes a bit for the letter to show up. If you've been playing the game for a bit you know this is how it works..asking for any deviation of that makes YOU look suspect.
there is of course an element of human error but you have to be patient.
again..this isn't in reference to any current drama that's going on..this is for all sponsors and customers
Xanax has no place in bodybuilding! Fucking junkies get a life!
As a side point Vic, we all must be careful of those sponsors which come heavily recommended by a mod or admin to the community, sometimes the sponsor bails out and the mod who spoke for him, touted his reputation, praised him to the hilltops, then same mod or rep just holds up his hand and says, "well ,,he was a good guy till this happened" , ie: Big D
Because that's a waste of good coke lol
all true what you say Vic...and i am sure this scam way guys do will keep happen all the time..
as i say cooper, i sent 12 vials.. if that last 2 vials will get sized,i will resend it free after you show me custom letter...its it..
its not a problem 2 vials,but problem here on ironM is that a lot guys know i am good man and they try to little post and complain and good wp man just resend it..its it..happen all the time!
Can you please provide me a tracking number wp? i didnt even think of that, as a matter of fact i would like a tracking number of all 5 packages to make sure all is upfront and honest, your all about honesty right?
Very good post Vic. This has been happening for years and not just with WP but others as well. It even happens in my business. It is sickening to me that these guys take the risk doing what they do to provide us with quality products and members want to take advantage of them. To try to take advantage of someone who is trying to make a living and provide for their family in anyway is wrong. Fair is fair. Especially when someone goes out of their way to make sure you are happy with their service. It is sad to say but americans want the best of everything and they want it for free nowadays. Why work when you can collect welfare why buy insurance if the state can provide you with better insurance for free? Why pay top dollar for quality product when I can get a knockoff that looks the same for a 1/4 of the price? This mentality is ruining our country and most of us are guilty of it at some point. NOT VERY many work hard for what they got anymore because they want it handed to them. What is our country coming to? There should be a respect for those who take a chance for you to be able to do something that you want to do. Everything has a price. Freedom isn't free and there needs to be some respect for others who work hard in any industry to make our lives what they are today. Do the right thing and be thankful for everything you got. Treat others as you would want to be treated.
I think the mods should, as many do giving credit where credit is due, be more invloved in disputes and oversight of potential and existing sponsors and these sponsors activities.
im from Ireland,its not the easiest to get gear here,mostly ordered from sites,getting good info and feedback on labs and products is vital.a site like this where contact with reps for problems
,questions or feedback and if and only if a lab/rep proves to warrant public repremand is a great resource and abuse of it and reps is just being an asshole.
"I'm Your Huckleberry"
i will never turn into scam and sale fake products..NEVER!
when you fullfill my order and stop asking for more purchases to ship my missing vials. then maybe your statement could possibly be true, till then you are looking like a sponsor who chooses to short orders.
The word "scam" is way overused in some cases...imo...people make mistakes ...of you go to the grocery store and the sacker misses a bag...is he a scammer??...sometimes a cooler unbiased head is better off looking at facts and assesing what has transpired...innocent mistakes or break downs in comma happen...unfortunaltly there is so much scamming going on in the net world ...all gets bundled into one..

?This message was sent using true power!!!
The fact remains that MANY sponsors end up bailing or doing some type of under-handed shit. It could happen 6 months into business..or 6 years in. You are dealing with illegal drugs on the blackmarket--a lot can go wrong. Nothing is ever going to be perfect, but by and large, all of the Mods here do a damn good job of pointing people in the right direcion...and we will continue to do so, so suck it up and quit digging up a single incident just because you're pissed about your vials.
People try to scam WP all the time...all the time. I have an easy way to fix this problem in the future. WP should make a signature option available...and make a rule that no order will ever be re-esent unless the customer accepts the signature option. Do you want him to do that? The truth is that many people just want WP to "trust" them when they say their order wasn't recieved, but they don't want any accountability on their end. They would prefer to have WP remain unprotected and have no way to verify whether or not someone is trying to scam him. Uncle Z never had these kind of fucking problems because he didn't resend orders without a sig or a customs letter. If I was a sponsor sending INTL., I would make a sig mandatory for a re-send, unless a customers letter was present.
As for PSL, you better include over half the other Mods on this board, including Admins, as ALL of us highly supported PSL for quite some time...as long as things were being done correctly...and they were for a long time. Business was good for years and he had some of the best qaulity control in place of all the UGL's. I think I speak for all of us who were involved during that time that we did the right thing in both supporting PSL, as well as bailing when we did. In fact, it was the Mods who brought things out into the open when things went south. How often does that happen with other UGL's? That's quite a departure from the way you've been known to handle things. All of us foresook our owed earings and alerted the members. You waited until you had no choice but to bail. Obviously, protecting the members was the LAST thing on your priority list, which is apparent given you history of customer advocacy...or should I say "lack" of customer advocacy. There is a difference between you and I. You care primarily about yourself, while all of my dealings and actions with UGL's has ben forthright and with the customer in mind. Too bad I can't say the same for you.
...and to infer that WP is going bad--well--that just makes you look like an asshole.
I tell you what, I'm so glad I only use DRSEGE products. They're are fucking terribly dosed and probably infected but at least I have none of the dramas.

Fallen soldier honored at Logan High School
A former Logan High School student killed while serving in Afghanistan is honored with a memorial at the school.
An engraved stone honors the memory of Cpl. Alex Martinez who was killed by a roadside bomb in April. The stone was dedicated during a Veterans Day ceremony today.
It was purchased after students who didn't know Martinez personally heard about his death and wanted to do something to honor him. They raised money by taking donations from other students.
"We felt that once a Logan Ranger, always a Logan Ranger and we thought that it would be respectful for Brandon [Martinez's brother who is a senior at Logan] and his family to help them get some closure and help them feel that people still care and still think of Alex as a Logan Ranger," said Logan High School Junior Miranda Moore.
A tree was also dedicated at the site.

When two bull elephant seals square off, things can get bloody. Only one in 10 males can become king of the harem... and he'll have to throw his weight around to do it.
For a bull elephant seal, bigger is better.
The males can grow up to 20 feet long and weigh over 8,000 pounds.
But it's that long, trunk-like snout that really amps up the sex appeal.
The bulls use those massive noses to broadcast one message-this is my turf, and to mate here, you have to get through me.
Elephant seals are the sumo wrestlers of the marine world.
In a battle, bulk is everything, and champs win it all...gathering harems of 40 to 50 females.
Only one in ten males will become an alpha male and father pups.
If this bachelor wants a sex life, combat is his only answer.
So the time has come to start a fight.
The battle grows more intense and the battered contenders take their fight to the water.
The challenger gets a good thrashing-and the big alpha returns to his ladies for his prize-multiple matings.

Hello ladies!
My dh & I will be pursuing a surrogate journey to create our family. We've matched independently with an amazing woman and we plan to get pregnant next July (seems like forever!). I'm very blessed to have such a long time to prepare for this pregnancy because inducing lactation is extremely important to me. It's also very important to me to do whatever I possibly can to produce as close to a full supply for my baby as possible.
I'm 26, but I'm in menopause because I've had a complete hysterectomy when I was 22. I've read the ask lenore menopause protocol and I understand it, but it doesn't really describe how long each step will take. It says I should be on the bc & domp for "at least" 60 days. How long is best? And once I stop that & start pumping...how long should I expect to pump before I am reaching my full potential? Is there a point in which my supply won't increase but will level off?
We're trying to plan our lives around this surrogacy and I wasn't sure at what point I would begin the protocol. Thanks for your help, I'm excited to have this forum as I pursue this dream.

Since writing papers is pretty much a way of life for an academic, I like to have tools that let me concentrate on the content, yet make beautiful documents with minimal effort on my part. The solution to this is LaTeX. While it gives me beautifully typeset documents, it doesn't handle bibliographic data management. That job is left to BibTeX.
