Maybe not, but again...look at what they have to put up with? Arrogant teens who carry more than a loaded ego. Crazy guys who spent months on the internet learning the chemical compositions of explosives and how to make home made detonators. Jesus-freaks who feel they need to clean the world of sin. My sister's moronic exboyfriend who walked around with a loaded handgun looking to act tough all the time. These kinds of threats require more than a simple "cease and desist" from a single officer. Going beyond that, the sheer idea that walking into a situation with a guy who may have a gun on him and is high out of his mind is an average day for a police officer...poor judgement calls can be made, and stupid reactions to these judgement calls are sure to follow.
I'm basically not gonna blame police for being human, when people are the ones being fucking horrible. The fact that even one time a police officer will risk his life for a greater good trumps any bullshit action he may do. He doesn't have to, he could be a useless fuckhole selling weed to kids outside of a local highschool, or a corporate lacky firing 20% of his staff for a bigger paycheck...but instead he (and I realize I keep using he, I apologize for this, as there are many women in law enforcement too) goes out 5-6 days a week with a bullet proof vest on and looks for trouble in order to stop it. When was the last time one of us did that? I can safely say I don't do that ever...though maybe I should. I'm tired of assholes ruining my neighborhood and all the good people living in it.
I'm sorry if I seem a bit edgy on this subject...I've just seen a lot of morons in my life who make being a police officer dangerous. I've alao has a gun pointed at me when I was in high school....in the school. I would have given anything for a police officer to have been there...waan't a fun experience.

But you hear much more incidents of problematic police behavior than of gun toting psychopaths - it isn't that I am downplaying or unappreciative of the fact that the police are required to deal with extreme situations, rather, it is that I believe it to be problematic that they deal with EVERYTHING like it's an extreme situation. Need I mention the UCD pepper spraying incident, where some cop pepper sprayed students that were sitting down and making no threatening advances?
It is BECAUSE they are the peacekeepers that they should be held to a higher standard, and should be held accountable to their actions. Of course they deserve protection when some asshat threatens them with nonsensical force and/or litigation, but they shouldn't be allowed to roam the streets like cowboys and abuse their authority against people minding their own business, or use disproportionate response to certain situations. Like I said, while I'm sure there are some good people in the organization willing to make a difference and try to better the community, there are in equal number people who are just douchebags who want to go off on power trips. These people are causing problems for all.

It reminds me of MMO logic...never hear about the good tweaks and adjustments from players, only the bad ones are ever spoken about.

My original point still remains valid: If a civilian with a (legally owned) gun did the things that police have done because they believed it was necessary to defend themselves they would be in jail for it. Furthermore, people would be screaming for more gun control laws as a result of it, even if it was an isolated incident. Hell, they do anyway even though wrongful shootings by civilian concealed carriers are virtually non-existent even in areas where there is a high density of them. Police should not get off without punishment when they do the same thing that would get a civilian 30 to life in jail because 'they're human' and it doesn't help matters that many departments are willing to cover up when these things do happen and punish whistle blowers, and it doesn't extend to just wrongful shootings.
I read a few months back about a case where a cop was caught driving drunk
in a police cruiser
(slammed into another car) with a blood alcohol level of .24 and in spite of there being a hospital next door that could have done a blood draw the police that arrested him took him across town to a free clinic that conveniently didn't have anyone legally registered for the task at hand on hand which meant that the blood draw was inadmissible for use in court and another had to be taken eight hours later when they 'realized their mistake' and, unsurprisingly, his blood alcohol level was under the legal limit! Guess what that means? No drunk driving charge! (the .24 reading was taken at the clinic.) On the other hand, he is merely human and does work a stressful job for no pay. Maybe getting hammered on the job is okay.
Seriously though, I don't think anyone is saying cops are bad until they do something good. We're saying that there are police that behave badly and that them being let off the hook because their job is stressful is a problem and will lead to more bad cops.

No one here is saying cops suck directly, but the tone of the posts all seem to lean towards a dislike for law enforcement. Maybe I'm just being negative.

text: I have been reading a lot about combination feeding and have a question for any moms out there that have done this. I return to work in a week. This is baby #3 for me. For baby #2, I BF before and after work - no pumping during the work day. I am planning on the same for this one. So, I have been getting my body (and my baby) adjusted to it slowly. Last week, we changed one nursing session into a bottle and this week will change a second one. My question is what to do on the weekends. For my second, I kept the same schedule - 2 bottles during the day. But, I have since read conflicting articles about it. Some say (kelly site for one) to nurse as much as possible on the weekends. I am worried that by doing that Monday and Tuesday will be quite uncomfortable due to my body making too much milk. Any moms out there have experience with this?

A Cinematic Family Album for Morocco
Alise Hansen
Nov 2013
For Yto Barrada, Morocco's defunct Cinéma Rif offered an opportunity to "bring a certain kind of magic back to the city" through an artistic intervention. The result—now nearly a decade old—is Cinémathèque de Tanger, an artist-run cinema, archive, and educational center in Tangier. It's also, as she discusses with Bouchra Khalili, a vibrant community hub and repository of cultural memories.
Steve McQueen: "I Want to Be Useful"
Rob Nelson
Nov 2013
"I don't think slavery has been taboo at all," Steve McQueen says, having just noted that his film 12 Years a Slave is one of less than two dozen to address this painful part of US history. "[Racism has] actually been very visible and obvious—the elephant in the room." In a Q&A with Rob Nelson, McQueen discusses slavery, art, and how he sees Solomon Northup's 1853 book as "the Anne Frank diary of America."
The Unseen
Sean Donovan
Nov 2013
We're surrounded by invisible forces, from neutrinos and radio waves passing through our bodies to gravitational and emotional forces pulling on us. In conversation with writer Sean Donovan, Luke Fischbeck and Sarah Rara of Los Angeles–based experimental art/music duo Lucky Dragons discuss the realms of the unseen and ways that science and mystery interact in their immersive art investigations.
Food Hazards
Nicole J. Caruth
Nov 2013
"If the perfect medium is bronze, which basically sits there forever, then food is on the exact opposite end of that continuum," says Jennifer Rubell. She should know, having created edible art installations using everything from ribs to cotton candy—but impermanence is only the beginning. Safety laws, permits, and confronting perception about food's value are all challenges food artists must address.
How Culture Shapes the Contemporary City
Paul Schmelzer
Oct 2013
With 80 percent of Americans now living in urban areas, and 6.5 billion people globally expected to do so by 2050, issues such as gentrification, economic justice, and sustainability are top of mind for artists and activists. Curator Nato Thompson discusses how this month's Creative Time Summit brings voices across disciplines together to explore the perils and promise presented by this new reality.
Xiu Xiu's Jamie Stewart on Art, Top Gun, and Danh Vo
John Valko
Oct 2013
Although they've never met, Xiu Xiu frontman Jamie Stewart says he feels "very bonded" to the father of artist Danh Vo—so much so that he's agreed to publicly sing a hit song from the film Top Gun in his honor. In conjunction with the opening of 9 Artists, Stewart will perform at the dedication of Tombstone for Phùng Vo (2010), a grave marker Vo created for his still-living father.
Visualizing American Power
Paul Schmelzer
Oct 2013
Examining US energy production and use for five years, photographer Mitch Epstein became fascinated by a pun: "electrical power came from political power, which came from corporate power—and civic power met up against all that." Here Epstein talks with Paul Shambroom, whose own photos examine issues from nuclear weapons to oil, about aesthetics, activism, and the work of connecting the dots of American power.
Jim Hodges and the Eros of the Everyday
Olga Viso
Oct 2013
When she first encountered Jim Hodges's art—a patchwork of silk billowing in the breeze—Olga Viso was struck by how the piece conjured childhood memories. Nearly two decades later, as co-curator of a survey of Hodges's work, she reflects on an artistic practice that's "rooted in modesty, intimacy, and integrity—one that seeks to find the epic in the most mundane as well as the quotidian in the epic."

First Friday Lecture Set for Homecoming Weekend
Dr. Arlette Miller Smith and Dr. Rick DeJesús-Rueff will kick off the 2013-14 First Friday Lecture Series on Friday, September 27, as part of the 2013 Homecoming Weekend. The lecture will take place in Coleman Chapel in Murphy Hall at 10:00 a.m., and will include a 9:00 a.m. mass followed by breakfast.
Miller Smith, Associate Professor of Interdisciplinary Studies, Co-director of the African American Studies Program, and faculty member in the Executive Leadership (Ed.D.) Program; and DeJesús-Rueff, Vice President, Student Affairs and Diversity Initiatives, will present, "50 Years After the March: A Look Back at the Civil Rights Movement in America."
In the lecture, the speakers will examine the call for freedom that characterized the Modern Civil Rights Movement, resulting in the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the 1966 Supreme Court decision in the Loving vs. Virginia case. DeJesús-Rueff and Miller Smith will explore the impact of other civil rights events from the 1960s, including the Birmingham Campaign and Montgomery Bus Boycott. In addition, they will share personal memories from the movement.
Miller Smith, a native of Vicksburg, Mississippi, is the founding and immediate past Director of the College's Office of Multicultural Affairs and Diversity Programs. Her academic work and advocacy efforts center on African American literature and culture; the intersection of the raced, gendered, classed, and artistic voice of African American women; the written production of 19th century African American women writers; the mobilization of socio-political movements in African American life, particularly the colored club women's movement and the modern civil rights movement; and the impact of the exterior (public) life on the interior lives of African American women, as well as the divergent convergence of the experiences of African American and White suffragists. Her poetry has been featured on NPR, CNN, and the Democrat and Chronicle, and is also included in the book, "Go, Tell Michelle: African American Women Write to the New First Lady." She is also the founder and executive artistic director of AKOMA, Rochester's African American Women's gospel choir, whose 45 member sister-roster attend various local denominations.

Before joining Fisher, he was Associate Dean of Students at the Philadelphia College of Textiles & Sciences, now known as Philadelphia University. His professional interests include leadership development for undergraduate students, diversity and inclusion issues in higher education, and non-violent conflict resolution. In his role at the College, he supervises many aspects of non-academic life at Fisher, including the offices of Campus Life, Multicultural Affairs, Residential Life, Student Conduct, and the Wellness Center. He also shares responsibility for supervising dining services and the College store. Additionally, DeJesús-Rueff serves as the Academic Director for the First Generation Scholars Program, teaches an introductory class on leadership development for First Generation Scholars, and oversees seminars which they complete during each semester of their College enrollment. He also teaches a class on non-violent leadership and change for the Peace and Social Justice Studies Minor. Outside of Fisher, he serves on the boards of the Center for Youth of Monroe County as well as the Center for Teen Empowerment in Rochester.

Property taxes may be affected
What would we in this area of West Virginia do if as much as one-fourth of the local funding for our schools, municipalities and counties was wiped out? It is not beyond the realm of possibility, thanks to something Congress did last year.
Despite the thousands of policy analysts and bill writers we taxpayers provide, presidents and members of Congress often don't think about the local consequences of their actions. Perhaps they know and just don't care.
As we have reported, the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform and Modernization Act of 2012 already is having drastic effects on some local residents and businesses. As a result of the law, the cost of federal flood insurance will be escalating – as much as 15 times current rates – for many people whose homes and businesses are in federally designated flood plain areas.
That will be quite a hit on the pocketbooks of many people, including a substantial percentage of Ohio Valley residents and business owners. But it already is having another effect.
Let's say you're planning to buy a home. You want an existing structure. Your real estate agent gives you a list of homes on the market, along with information such as asking prices and ongoing costs – utilities, taxes, insurance – for them.
First to be crossed off your list are homes where the cost of flood insurance is skyrocketing. Why pay a couple of hundred dollars a month – or more – for flood insurance when you could buy a home out of the flood plain and put that money into mortgage payments?
The federal law is going to make it extremely difficult to sell some properties. One man told me he wants to sell a home in Benwood, but already has been told by a real estate agent that will be next to impossible.
In other words, thousands of Ohio Valley homes and business properties suddenly are worth much less than they were a few months ago.
Connect the dots: Property taxes are based on market values of real estate (or are supposed to be). So, if a home or business is worth much less than it was before the flood insurance change, the taxes should go down.
That could have drastic consequences for schools and other local government entities that depend on property tax revenue. One estimate I heard this week is that one-fourth of the parcels of taxable property in Ohio County are in flood plains.
Property affected by the law will not become worthless, of course. At some point, if you reduce your asking price enough, a buyer will step forward.
But you may have to slash the amount you receive for your property by thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars.
If you own flood plain property, you may not be able to afford to move.
It has been suggested the flood insurance changes should be delayed or even rescinded. There does not seem to be much interest in that in Congress.
That may leave local taxing bodies – county commissioners in West Virginia – besieged by property owners demanding their taxes be cut. They will have good cases to make.
Even a 5 percent reduction in property tax revenue would hurt boards of education, city councils and county commissioners.
No one can say how the issue would play out in the courts, where it almost certainly would go if flood plain property owners don't get the dramatic cuts in taxes they may seek. Again, however, the property owners are going to be hurt badly, and their arguments for lower taxes make sense.
We'll see.
After an immigration judge ruled this week that President Barack Obama's uncle, Kenyan-born Onyango (Omar, for short) Obama can stay in the United States, the White House was quick to state no one there pressured federal officials to keep the uncle from being deported.
Well, of course not. No one had to issue such a directive.
Would you want to be the bureaucrat who ordered the deportation of someone named Obama?

such things makes me hate the lakers even more, just look at them how happy they are winning this game
first thing i did, i started to check the results, and while reading the articles, i'm noticing that everybody is revolted after nuggets' loss 112-113 against the lakers, with the help of the refs. if any of you saw the game, please let me know what happened out there.
the following lines are from nuggetshoops.com:
Carmelo is standing there holding the basketball - and he would have either dunked it or brought it out so that the Lakers would have been forced to foul.
The referee's huddle and decide that yes it was an inadvertant whistle. They award the Lakers a jump ball at half court, even though Carmelo had possession of the ball when the whistle blew. Shaq won the tip with Nene, and with the Nuggets scrambling on defense to cover Kobe and Shaq - rookie Kareem Rush was left open for a three-point attempt with 3 seconds left. He nailed it. The Nuggets inbound the ball and from just inside half-court, Andre Miller's prayer hit the front of the rim and fell short, just like the Nuggets.
A new all-time record crowd of 19,812 people stood stunned and angry. People started throwing food and the remainder of their beverages at the court, and three uniformed police officers came out and escorted the refs to the exit. Coach Bzdelik was hopping mad - more mad than I have ever seen him. Assistant coach T.R. Dunn had to restrain him to keep him from going after the refs. It was an ugly scene to end a great, great game.
Don't get me wrong - I'm heartbroken from this loss - the first time the Nuggets have lost 4 in a row this season, and with a 15 point lead at one point in the second half, it really was looking good. The Nuggets outplayed the Lakers much of this game, but the wild span of less than 2 minutes was their downfall.

The refs LOVE L.A.! Remember a couple years ago when that woman ref gave Kobe that call on Bibby where she said Defensive foul, but it was Offensive???? See what happened??? The Kings would have won it all that year!!
True true. But at club lakers theyare Sh*tting on the refs cause they arent "fair" to them. (sorry LA fans but you guys cant excuse losing)

It's unlike Laker fans to complain about officiating, but last night was terrible. Shaq's ejection cost us the game... I'll post up a clip on the BS they called him for so you can judge for yourselves later.Originally Posted by AJD

It's tough to be objective when it comes to officiating and your team.
It sure looked like Shaq could have avoided squashing Kirilenko with that second elbow. Kirilenko is a defensive pest like Bruce Bowen and I can imagine Shaq was frustrated at that point in the game.
I think the concern I have is that some of the bigger market teams seem to recieve more favorable calls. The Sacramento Kings are a great team that have just missed the finals a few times in recent years. They are not a big-market team like the Lakers. Coincidence? I hope not...
For you Knicks fans here, there is still the rumor that gets brought up around draft time that the Knicks were handed Patrick Ewing by new commissioner David Stern.
Please don't tell me you're gonna jump on the Sacramento "Queens" bandwagon and say they haven't made it to the finals because of bad calls. That's what all their fans think.Originally Posted by aswitzer
I think the 2nd technical COULD have possibly been intentional (although I still think it was an accident), but with the first one, there was no chance.
Don't worry, I'm definitely not on their bandwagon - just an example. The Nuggs hopefully will be playing the Kings if we can hang onto the Eighth spot in the west. They become mortal enemies at that moment!Originally Posted by BryantDunkGiant

The club has the problem of trying to keep it's links with south wales whilst playing in north wales.
It seems to be a PR excersise saying to fans - we still think about you, and saying to juniors - we are still your club for a pro-contract if you make it.
The crowd will provide ammunition for those against expansion as usual.
The key question is can a North wales SL outfit inspire a south wales junior RL without such fixtures being played away from Wrexham.....

Hopefully it was minor things blown up out of proportion...

If this game were played in Wrexham you'd have a point, but it wasn't. The game was the equivalent to MK Dons playing an on the road game in London, the Crusaders are hated in South Wales.
Parksider has raised an interesting dilemma though as while economic sense would dictate scrapping on the road games, they do need to advertise themselves in South Wales to potential players that they're still a Welsh club.
Longer term I could see the possibility of Welsh players playing for the Scorpions and Crusaders being northerners playing in a market that wants to watch RL. The only problem with this is I don't see South Wales ever getting the crowds to support a SL club, though it's not impossible. If Quins moved to say Oxford then that would be much closer than Wrexham for South Wales players (even Twickenham is closer)

Gotta agree with all of that, especially the part I took the liberty to put in bold print.
I am sorry to say that regrettably I forecast that yet again this Welsh experiment would come to nothing. I have witnessed this happen so often that it is sickening to watch it all unfold and inevitably with the same old outcome eventually yet again.
Welsh= RU! RL: not wanted!!
The main reason behind that opinion is that RL is viewed as an ENGLISH version of the game of rugby and for that one aspect alone is regarded as alien.
I would love to be proven wrong but I fear that Wrexham will go the way that the other Welsh forays have and oblivion will once more occur, as sure as eggs is eggs!

Do they not have full stops and commas in the north? Poor attendance, oh well. I had a good time mainly I did this bizaare thing. I watched the rugby.
I was in the main stand with most of the cas fans in the union end. Didn't hear any dodgy chanting although the coppers were called at some point. Seemed pretty minor to me. Respect to the cas fans who made a long journey. Thanks for the two points.
Predictions for the future -
Crusaders RL to get a franchise for 2012 onwards -WRONG
Widnes Vikings also to get a franchise - RIGHT
Crusaders RL to do the double over Widnes and finish five places ahead of them -WRONG
Widnes Vikings NOT to dominate rugby league in years to come! STILL TO COME
I promise to pay �10 to the charity of Bomb Jacks choice if Widnes Millionaires finish above the battling underdogs Crusaders RL. I OWE A TENNER!

Wis. defense seeks charge dropped in clinic plot
The defense team for a Wisconsin man accused of planning a shooting rampage at an abortion clinic is hoping to get the charge dismissed on a legal technicality.
Ralph Lang of Marshfield is accused of driving to Madison in May 2010 with the intent of killing abortion doctors at a Planned Parenthood clinic.
He was indicted last May with attempting to injure, intimidate and interfere with people participating in a federally funded program.
But his lawyers now say that since Planned Parenthood's federal funds can't be used to provide abortions, Lang can't be convicted of targeting someone who receives federal funds.
Assistant U.S. Attorney John Vaudreuil tells the Marshfield News-Herald he's confident the government can prove Lang intended to interfere with clinic members who perform other federally funded services.

Recent meetings
December 8, 2013 The Boston Celtics walked into Madison Square Garden and got an easy wire-to-wire victory over the New York Knicks 114-73 at Madison Square Garden. The game was never in doubt for the Celtics who raced out to a 12-0 lead in the first four minutes of the game all while holding the Knicks to 11 points total in the first quarter. New York was unable to cut the lead to single digits while trailing by as much as 45 as they suffered its worst home loss in 11 years. Carmelo Anthony led the Knicks for the 19th time this season in points with 19 over 32 minutes. Amare Stoudemire posted a season high 17 points off the bench. Boston was paced by a total team effort, with all five starters recording double-figure in points and six in total reaching the double-digit mark. March 31, 2013 For the second time in the last seven days, New York handled Boston defeating them again by double-digits, this time a 108-89 victory at Madison Square to take the season series versus Boston for the first time since 2003-04. New York was led by Carmelo Anthonys 24 points and 10 rebounds over 27 minutes for his sixth double-double of the seasons and his second in a row. J.R. Smith posted 15 points and 12 rebounds over 33 minutes for his sixth double-double of the season. Raymond Felton added 18 points and four assists over 31 minutes. Boston was paced by Jeff Greens 27 points and four rebounds over 35 minutes. Paul Pierce recorded 24 points and 15 rebounds in 32 minutes. New York has now won three straight versus Boston.
Knicks need wins Nets are 3-0 since Willams returned and Pierce.
Woodson can't afford another embarrassing loss to the Celtics. Our roster can't afford another embarrassing loss to the Celtics. If we don't win or at least come very close, heads will roll. Dolan is fired up and our front office is fighting to get his support to make a deal. Let's just go out and play like we did in the 2nd quarter of the Bulls game and we'll be fine. Let's go Knicks!
Bargs and Shump both struggling right now. Melo isn't making the Boston defense have to work to contain him. I want to see Stat and THJ sooner rather than later. Instead, I'm sure we'll get JR Smith.
Well, we did get Stat instead of JR, but that front court of Stat, Melo, and Bargs is going to hurt us on defense and the boards.
Stat coming out aggressive. Offense should run through him until it stops working. Melo is getting his without the need to feature him in the 1st already.
Oh ****, STAT is doing the and 1 gesture again. He's back.
Sig made by Sons of Thunder
I cannot overstate how much I like featuring Stat with Prigs running the point.
Do the Celtics lead the league in big men with terrible haircuts?
Whatever. Lee got two prayers to go from three in that quarter, otherwise we easily got have the lead.
Hey guys, Lets Go Knicks.....Think Positive
I don't care what anyone says, the idea that this Celtics team was built to tank is ridiculous. They have a decent roster of guys who play well together. When they get Rondo back, they are easily 0.500 team in the East.
They have a coach who is competent, whilst we have an incompetent coach.
even the color commentators are laughing at the knicks
21 - 2 run. I don't care if the other team is the original Dream Team, you can't get this badly run off the court against the same team twice in a week.

Anti-narcotics bill coming togetherBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | March 14,2013MONTPELIER Spurred by stories of addiction from across the state, lawmakers this week are voting out of committees a wide-ranging bill aimed at minimizing the effects of opiate use on the health and safety of Vermonters.
The legislation, portions of which have been drafted in three separate committees, seeks not only to reduce supply and temper demand, but to mitigate the toll of narcotics even on addicts who may not be seeking help.
Rep. Bill Lippert, a Hinesburg Democrat and chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said the issue became a priority for 2013 after campaigning lawmakers last year heard from constituents about the scope of the drug problems in their communities.
Were trying to combat this issue of opiate addiction and methamphetamine addiction and come at it from as many angles as possible, Lippert told fellow Democrats this week.
One element noticeably absent from lawmakers efforts: money. Budgetary pressures, they say, have limited expenditures in the bill to funding for a new coordinator position at the Department of Public Health. The person will be responsible for linking primary care doctors, psychiatrists and smaller outpatient facilities with drug treatment facilities scattered across the state. Health Commissioner Harry Chen said Wednesday that the coordinator will help reduce some of the long lines at drug treatment facilities by equipping satellite offices with the ability to administer methadone, buprenorphine and other addiction treatment services.
Rep. Ann Pugh, a South Burlington Democrat and chairwoman of the House Committee on Human Services, said the lack of money wont prevent lawmakers from making headway on the narcotics issue.
The bill contains several provisions, including two aimed at what lawmakers call harm reduction. Lipperts committee has crafted language that would offer criminal immunity to drug users who seek help when a fellow addict overdoses. The provision comes at the request of prosecutors and health care officials who say patients are dying needlessly because of fear of retribution from law enforcement.
Pughs committee, meanwhile, is expected to approve a provision that would equip emergency workers, and even family members of addicts, with overdose antidote that can be administered nasally to an unconscious person.
The bill also looks to stem the supply of drugs by reducing the volume of narcotics prescribed by doctors. To do so, lawmakers are revisiting a prescription drug monitoring bill that lawmakers jettisoned last year over privacy concerns.
But unlike last years legislation, Pugh said, this version wont give law enforcement access to patient drug data. Rather, lawmakers will require doctors to sign up for the database only about a third do now and to run the names of certain kinds of patients before issuing prescriptions for narcotic painkillers.
Specifically, doctors would have to check the names of people who say their prescription was lost or stolen, people on long-term narcotic treatment, or new patients complaining of chronic pain. The database would tell the doctors whether that patient is also getting prescription drugs from other providers elsewhere, or if the patient has been red-flagged as a drug seeker by another physician.
The bill also tries to curb production of methamphetamine by tracking sales of allergy and cold medications containing ephedrine. Vermonters already have to supply a drivers license to buy the drug which is used to manufacture meth and can purchase it only in certain quantities. The bill would require the installation of a database provided at no cost that would track an individuals purchases at different outlets. The measure is aimed at preventing people from accumulating enough ephedrine to make a batch of the drug.
The database, called NPLEX, was created and maintained by a coalition of over-the-counter drug manufacturers seeking to ease growing public anxiety about the link between ephedrine and methamphetamine. Privacy advocates have raised concerns about tracking citizens purchases, but Pugh said shes been assured that information collected by the system is used only to alert store clerks to people stocking up on the drug.
Lawmakers will also incorporate into the bill heightened regulations over dealers in secondhand precious metals, though exactly what restrictions will be placed on buyers and sellers is still being worked out. Lawmakers are trying to stamp out the market for stolen merchandise without unduly affecting legitimate dealers.
The bill will also have the state study the impact of meth production on the dwellings in which its sometimes produced. Toxic residue from the process can sit unseen on surfaces in a home for years after the meth makers move out, causing health effects to the new inhabitants.

Fireworks pollution
The new Michigan fireworks law does untold damage to the environment, wildlife, pets and our personal right to quiet and safety in our own homes.
On July 7th and numerous times, between late June through September, I have been jolted out of bed by neighbors setting off extremely loud fireworks – the kind used in public displays.
I have had to rearrange my life to accommodate my neighbors "fun." This includes getting my dog up to the house and into a closet at night before the fireworks start, which is always a guess. Then waking him up after midnight to pee because he was too scared to pee on the way to the house.
I have had to remain up till after midnight on evenings when I was not feeling well or just needed to sleep because I work long hours. I have heard others say that their children are scared awake in the middle of the night from neighbors fireworks.
Veterans with PTSD call the 4th of July "a day from hell." Deer are reported to have miscarriages from fear after explosions and I can't imagine the pain of birds or bats with sensitive hearing, not to mention the toxic heavy metal smoke from the fireworks that they are forced to breathe which can cause digestive disorders, cancer and asthma attacks...

Sullivan County Celebrity Dinner breaks all records
March 13, 2013 —
CALLICOON, NY — Forty local celebrities put on a really big show last Friday at the Villa Roma Resort and Conference Center, waiting on tables and providing entertainment to more than 350 paying guests at the annual Sullivan County Celebrity Dinner to benefit the Boys and Girls Clubs of Sullivan County. This year's theme was "Music from Your Youth."
The room was filled with star power as teams of costumed servers impersonated musical personalities including rock band KISS, Simon and Garfunkel, Elvis, The Blues Brothers, Ike and Tina Turner, Zee Zee Top, Elvis, Liza Minnelli, The Beatles and Steven Tyler, to name but a few.
Honorary event chairman Greg Goldstein acted as master of ceremonies for the third straight year, lampooning the entertainers and working the dinner guests into a frenzy of donations that resulted in a record-breaking evening, taking in at least $44,000.
For more on this story, read celebrity server Jonathan Fox's commentary in this week's "In My Humble Opinion" on page 19.

This stainless steel bombilla has an innovative spring-loaded double filter at the tip for easy cleaning and clog-free use. It comes in a package with instructions for care and use.
This tea straw is really great. At the bottom it has a little spiral doohickey that stops any tiny bit of leaf getting into the straw. In practice, the tea is as free of leaves as with a teabag. This is far superior to many other bombillas I've looked at, which have holes down the bottom instead, and tend to allow in small tea leaves. It's also super easy to clean - the little spiral part lifts up easily with a spring mechanism. A rinse under the tap will basically have it back to pristine condition, and it's dishwasher safe. The straw also allows me to drink tea lying down. Best way to drink tea!
I bought two of these straws, for use with my own herbal mixtures of tea. I put my teas in a cup, then sip from the straw. It completely filters the tea, and only needs a quick rinse to clean. Excellent buy, as more primitive ones are the same price at my local co-op. Very high quality stainless steel, made in Argentina. For anyone who grows and harvests their own herbs, or makes their own blends, this is so much easier than trying to make tea bags, or filter with baskets. And the design is the very best of them all.
Best choice with Yerba Mate Loose Tea ever!

I love it. I used it in my green tea and it blocked all of the leafs. Great cleaning too. It does not work as well with smaller leaf pieces but it's still really good.
love this product!

CALLICOON, NY — St. James Episcopal Church on Route 17B will present an evening of music and praise on Saturday, June 11 at 7 p.m. Kevin Vertrees, organist and musical director, has assembled a group of local musicians to present a program consisting of a series of "musical meditations" themed on a line from the Book of Common Prayer: "this fragile earth, our island home."
Vertrees studied classical composition at the Ohio State University and has performed professionally for over 20 years. He will open the program with his organ fanfare, composed especially for the church's 1898 Vocalion organ. Other selections will include the performance of two original works for guitar by classical guitarist Stuart Douglas Hirsch, director of music at The Church of Saint Peter in Monticello; and a performance of two original compositions by baritone Steve Utzig, of New York City, a singer, actor and musical director and an alumnus of the Delaware Valley Opera Company and the Delaware Valley Chamber Orchestra.
The suggested contribution is $10 a ticket, and the proceeds benefit the landscape renovation project at the church. Advance tickets can be purchased at Narrowsburg Fine Wines and Spirits, Main Street in Narrowsburg; Global Home in Jeffersonville; the Café Devine, Lower Main Street in Callicoon; and Catskill Harvest Market, Route 52 in Liberty.

A 15-year-old boy from New York, Tyler Madoff, is missing after a large wave washed him and another teen out to sea.
The Coast Guard said the search for the teen was suspended at sunset Thursday evening, until there are new developments.
This happened on the Kona side of the Big Island near Kealakekua Bay around 5:30 p.m. Wednesday.
"He was part of an adventure tour hiking when they decided to take a break at some nearby tide pools," said Lt. Lee Cotterell with the U.S. Coast Guard. "While they were in the tide pools a large wave came in and swept two of the kids out to sea."
A tour guide jumped in and saved one of the boys. Brent Sasaki was fishing nearby when he saw the guide jump in and went to help.
"I went with my boat to pick them up and bring them aboard," said Sasaki.
Sasaki rushed the teen and the guide to shore and went back out to search for the second teen.
"I gotta get back out there and try to rescue somebody else. I searched up and down that place," said Sasaki. Despite his efforts, Madoff is still missing.

Cube Clock Radio Hidden Camera DVRGet Up to 92 Hrs. of Motion Activated Video On A Single SD Card
Nobody will ever know there�s a spy camera insideOur hidden camera products are the absolute best in the business. They record amazing quality video and are incredibly easy to use. No setup required: all you�ll need to do is plug it in for power, and you are ready to go!
No one will have any idea that there is a covert camera inside; it really is that simple! Think about it.... most people don�t even realize that hidden cameras are a possibility when entering a room. Our cameras are built into everyday objects, are totally hidden, and won�t look out of place.
All of our cameras are fully-functioning products. The alarm clock radios actually play music, the iPod/iPhone dock will charge your phone, and the fan blows cold air. They are all working products!
Place this item in a room of your home and learn once and for all what is going on while you aren�t there. Remove all doubt as to whether or not things are going on behind your back with our line of hidden cameras. This unit is incredibly easy to use and only takes a few minutes to learn!
How It WorksBuilt inside of this product is a color pinhole camera that records motion activated video footage; the camera will only record whenever someone moves in front of it. Because of this, you won�t have spend forever fast-forwarding the video to see when a person walks into the area you are monitoring. It also means you�ll be able to record a lot more footage since it doesn�t save the boring, useless video.
Each time motion occurs, the camera makes a new video file, which will make it easy to find the particular file you are after when you need to review footage.
So, for example, if someone walks in front of the camera 8 times in one day, there will be 8 different files that were recorded that have their own time stamp on it. You�ll know exactly when the events happened; it�s that simple!
However, if someone keeps walking back and forth in front of the camera, it will only save as one file so you don�t have dozens of 2 second clips. The nanny camera is programmed so that the moment motion occurs, it will record for another 60 seconds regardless of if the person leaves 2 seconds after it began. If this causes confusion, please call us!
You can change the video quality settings by using the included video cable to hook the clock radio up to a TV. Use the included remote control to change the time/date, video quality, erase the memory card, and etc.
Viewing the footage is easy for any userEach of our nanny cameras store the video onto a removable memory card; simply take out the SD card (not included) and plug it into your computer to view the files that were saved. Each video clip file that was recorded will have a date and time stamp in the corner, so you�ll know exactly when an event happened.You can open the file in Windows Media Player, Quicktime, VLC, and many other media players.
Whenever the card is completely filled with video, it will start erasing early footage to make room for new footage. The first footage recorded is going to be the first video erased once the card gets full, so be sure that if you need to record for long periods of time, you have to get a big enough memory card! A good rule of thumb is about 3 hours of video per GB. So if you have an 8GB SD card, you�ll have 32 hours of footage, all of which is motion activated. Since it�s motion activated, it will last much longer than 32 hours from when you turn the camera on.
Example: With your 4GB card, you get 12 hours of video recordings. If you film cars driving by throughout the day, it will save 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours of video.... all the way to 16 hours. When the card is full at 16 hours, it will start overwriting hour 1, then 2, and so forth. If this is confusing, call us so we can explain!
You can also lower the quality settings to increase the amount of time it can record.
Customizable settings to get exactly what you wantOur clock radio camera can record up to 24 hours of footage on a 8GB SD card with standard settings, which are great for most users. Settings such as recording quality, date/time, and recording schedules are accessible by plugging the product into your television using the included video cable. While most users want the camera active 24/7, you can have it record only during certain hours if you wish.
We would also like to point out that the round, button like thing on the top of the clock is a projector than many clocks use to display the time on a wall or ceiling. Sometimes, customers think it is a part of the camera, but don�t worry! Only you will know there is a camera inside!

Bill Gates Agreed with Ballmer: Sinofsky Had to Go
Tiffany Kaiser
November 13, 2012 2:43 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Ballmer and Gates recognized that Microsoft needs to be more united internally across different divisions, and that change would be difficult with Sinofsky around
It turns out that Microsoft software head
Steven Sinofsky's departure
wasn't so sudden, and none other than Bill Gates was onboard with the decision.
Sinofsky, former president of Microsoft's Windows and Windows Live division, announced that he was
leaving the company
yesterday after a little over 23 years with the tech giant. It was reported as a "sudden" move that no one expected, but new details behind the departure show that the decision was contemplated for a while and even backed by Microsoft co-founder and chairman Bill Gates.
While Sinofsky was seen as a brilliant figure at Microsoft, his downfall was that he didn't get along with others within the company. He was notorious for picking fights with other executives, including current CEO Steve Ballmer, and even pushed former executives like chief software architect Ray Ozzie to quit.
Sinofsky was key to the development of Windows 8, which was
released October 26
and features an entirely new look and feel from the traditional Windows experience. However, Ballmer recognized that Microsoft needs to be more united internally across different divisions, and that change would be difficult with Sinofsky around.
Typically, in other company disputes, Ballmer and Gates would back up Sinofsky. But that doesn't seem to be the case this time around. Microsoft is looking to change and integrate teams across various units within the company. Ballmer saw Sinofsky as an obstacle to getting to that point, and
with Gates' support
, decided to part ways with Sinofsky.
All Things Digital
heard rumors about Sinofsky's departure over the last few weeks, both from inside and outside of Microsoft's walls.
While the decision to part ways with Sinofsky was a good thing in terms of moving Microsoft in a new direction, it also means the loss of a great mind that had a strong handle on Microsoft's software and innovation. Sinofsky may not be a team player, but he was great at what he did. Losing that sort of creativity and completely revamping the inner dynamic of how Microsoft's teams work will not be an easy task.
Julie Larson-Green, who has worked with Microsoft since 1993, is replacing Sinofsky. She played a key role in program management, and UI design/research for Windows 7 and Windows 8. So we'll see if Larson-Green can stand up to the challenge and fill Sinofsky's shoes while complying with the new integrated direction Microsoft is looking to take.
Sinofsky's leave is eerily similar to that of the recently departed
Scott Forstall
, Apple's former VP of iOS Software. Forstall was let go in late October after 15 years with Apple due to recent issues with iOS 6's maps and his tendency to not get along with other Apple execs.
"If you look at the last five years, if you look at what major innovations have occurred in computing technology, every single one of them came from AMD. Not a single innovation came from Intel." -- AMD CEO Hector Ruiz in 2007

To paraphrase the United States Marine Corps, I'm looking for a few good and mad property taxpayers.
As I blogged yesterday, I'm working on a series of stories exploring how the increasing load of local and state taxes is affecting the quality of life in McHenry County. While I already have a few sources at hand, I look at sources like I look at beer – more is always better than less.
I'm looking to talk with you if you ...
• Did nothing to your home or property yet had a double-digit increase on the property taxes you just finished paying this year.
• Are contemplating moving – or outright walking from your home – because your tax burden is too high.
• Have gone to your local governments and spoken for your 3 minutes to ask them to stop the spending and had your pleas fall on deaf ears.
• Own your home free and clear, but are being forced to move because of the tax burden.
The only thing I can offer you is immortality of a sort if I use your comments or your story.
So if you want to talk, email me at the address at the bottom of this blog post, or call me at 1-815-526-4618 and kick them nasty thoughts.
(For the record, one of the reasons I have so many journalism awards is because I can seamlessly invoke the Marines and Sir Mix-A-Lot in the same post.)
Upcoming Assessment Appeal Deadlines
If you live in Richmond, Alden, Seneca or Greenwood townships, your deadline has passed to appeal your property assessment for taxes due in 2013. Here's a list of all posted deadlines by township for challenging assessments.
Call your township assessor or visit this website to learn how to appeal.
• Hartland Township residents have until the end of the day Friday.
• Nunda Township residents have until Oct. 9.
• Dorr Township residents have until Oct. 12.
• McHenry Township residents have until Oct. 15.
• Residents of Burton and Dunham townships have until Oct. 19.
• Chemung Township residents have until Oct. 24.

No worries sorry didn't know your stats and assumed you meant you were planning on eating 300-500g of pasta in one sitting.
^ yeah but bro you're missing a ton of what I posted. I posted my exact diet in the post on the previous page, as you can see I only eat natural foods including wholemeal bread and pasta.
As I also said I do intermittent fasting, so I only eat between the hours of 12pm-8pm. Obviously I'm not eating 5-6 meals in that time.
My diet is balanced close to as best as I can get it with the foods I eat and enjoy, but it's carb light.
I'm already eating 1-2 bananas, 1-2 bowls of oats, 100g+ of pasta and 2-4 slices of bread in those 8 hours, I can't really include many more carbs as food, would weigh me down far too much.
Rough day:
8am - Coffee
10am - Light Cardio
12pm - Toasted Tuna Sandwich, Banana
1pm - Oats, Protein Shake
2pm - Workout
2.30pm - Protein Shake, Light Cardio
4pm - Oats
6pm - Chicken, Wholewheat Pasta, Sauce
7pm - Protein Shake, few spoons Peanut Butter
This adds up to roughly 170g Protein, 80g fat and 220g carbs. I'm about 20g light on fats and 20g light on carbs for rest days. On workout days I need to consume 470g carbs so getting the rest is difficult.
I understand where you're coming from but bear in mind I am a small guy and literally fitting much more food into my body is going to make me sick

Well my brother, Crazy8s has moved the Fitness Thread into the Video Archive forum where guest can't see the thread and moderators can't moderate it.
I think Rady can fit it for us to get the Fitness Thread back in the Off Topic section.
Special shout to Crazy8s, this dude doesn't like when I get publciity or attention, he wants it all to himself and he's been that way since day one. All the effort he's put into this forum was just to do,, I never had a problem with Crazy8 contributing to the forum but he's been insane about getting attention and anytime I get in the way he fights about. Keep in my mind this dude never had a debate worth remembering and he is about is glittering videos and game threads from who knows how many hours he puts into those.
You guys should know his agenda, he's keeping close ties to people on this forum because he's making a new forum in February. He's trying to sabatoge this site and have a site to himself because of course know, Crazy is crazy for attention.
This place will always be popping. You can't force people out of here, harass them in the PM's and desperately bring people to Crazy8s new site. Knicksonline been in existence for a decade, it has established and recognized members that has gotten a lot of people to register and talk **** to or co sign with. That was way before Crazy when forum traffic was higher than the times he flooded the forum with his glitter.
Anyway, Rady if you read this, we need the fitness thread back in the off topic section, guys really were using this thread as a resource, a lot more useful than Crazy8s glittermania threads.
Started working out in the gym this Sunday with my friend. It's a lot more fun doing it at the gym than at home and alone.
Sig made by Sons of Thunder
Definitely! Home is a lonely place with no energy to fed off from. Gym is filled with great people and *******s that have a lot of energy so it gets you going.
I can't wait to get back into my gym next week, I've been out with a severe illness.
Hope you get health quick, bro.
Have you been doing any exercises?
Sig made by Sons of Thunder
I know better to not rush my body back in my insane routine, I would just mess up my form and technique, gotta work on that again.
What you've been doing at the gym?
Have you tried front squatting? Did you ever like it?
I haven't tried front-squatting. I had to look it up. I used twenty pound weights holding them like I would a suitcase and did 12, 16, then jumping squats of 12. I used to hold weight above my shoulders, but I don't know what is the best for me now and I just started exercising good again so I wasn't going to raise it above my shoulders.
After the squats I did very little bike to make my to make my legs and knees feel good after the squats. Not much, don't want to do a lot of cardio as of now since I want to gain weight.
Squats are a badass workout.
Sig made by Sons of Thunder
just wanted to post in here that i was using this thread as a resource for fitness discussion.
hitting the gym again, getting into a shape that isn't "rotund"
been doing jump rope between sets to keep the heart rate up and work on hand eye coordination/improve my vertical.
RJ glad to hear you got into the gym man! it's a great environment to get pumped up and push yourself. Be sure to watch form videos for any heavy weights you want to move. An injury will set you back way more then taking 10 lbs off the bar to ensure good form. check out mark ripptoes 'Starting Strength' stuff for information on the big 3 lifts, which is a great place to start for weight lifting/strength gains.
BTW, what you described are dumbbell squats and jump squats. I find barbell squats easier to stay in good form but at 40lbs you should be ok to continue as you have been.
Good workout buddy.
I think I learned from when I first starting squating how much front squatting has helping out my regular squat. I won't be able to front squat as much as I regular squat, but it made my posture and technique so much more comfortable and allowed me to transfer a lot of weight, this guy explains it greatly if you take a listen
Looks like i'm gonna go to a newer "crossfit' style gym with a new trainer. Time to step it up. We're meeting on wednesday i'll report back here with what kind of a plan he comes up with for me.
After I get my car (long process) I'm gonna get back into fitness and diet...and hard.
Been wondering this a while, I've read you're supposed to mix up the order of your workouts every 3-4 weeks, are you supposed to mix up you're diet in any way too, such as the order or adding/replacing food with others?

The Bible Genealogy Chart The Bible Genealogy Chart is a comprehensive study aid for Christians and Bible scholars which shows the lineage from Adam and Eve all the way through Jesus. Use the chart to follow along with the long lists of begats found in the Bible & simplify your study. Instead of name after name, the Bible Genealogy Chart lays out the family tree of the Bible in a familiar format, making it easy for you to pin point the exact part you want to study without having to search through the entire text of the Bible.
Useful for Sunday school groups, homeschool, and advanced study groups, the Bible Genealogy Chart also lays out the chronological information found in the Bible, making it easy to see the time line of historic figures and events. The original version of the chart published in 1971, was largely sold to Bible Colleges and Seminary Schools. The new version incorporates beautiful illustrations and makes the Bible Genealogy Chart not only an excellent study guide, but a work of art worthy of display in every home, office, classroom or church.

Farmers Get Together: Early County Fairs
Bushels of wheat, yokes of oxen, native cattle, tubs of homemade soap, yards of fine linen cloth, apples, hand-crafted saddles, sturdy wagons— these and much more made up the display at Iowa's early county fairs.
Time to Show Off
Iowa's European pioneer settlers brought the idea for an agricultural fair with them from their former homes. Not long after European farmers had settled in the state, they got together to hold county fairs. It was a place to show off the best things that people made or raised. Those living on farms or in towns brought their finest products, hoping to win a top prize.
Makers of farm implements and housewares displayed their products at fairs. It was a good way to advertise in a time when people seldom traveled to shop and had no magazines, radios, televisions or the Internet. Products that had won prizes were more likely to be purchased because they were considered to be of high quality.
Learning and Socializing
The county fair provided the best place for farm people to learn better farming methods. Men and women met to share their knowledge and to learn how to raise better cattle and improve crops. Fairs had an important educational purpose.
The county fair also provided a
chance for socializing, entertainment and relaxation. For farm dwellers the
fair became an important yearly event. As the years passed, county fairs continued
to be important educational and social events for rural Iowans.

Whether it's gun control, equal rights or drug laws, watching just how far the pendulum will swing ranks with baseball as far as national pastimes go.
In less than half a century, we went from putting a guy in a mental institution because he's a little too deft at mixing and matching throw pillows to state-sanctioned gay marriage.
At this rate, within 10 years, I'll get a certified letter from the IRS requiring me to get hitched to some truck driver named Kurt or lose my health insurance.
An interesting behind-the-scenes swing is taking place in the wake of the passage of concealed-carry legislation finally approved in Illinois – the last state to adopt such a measure.
I have no problem with the concealed-carry law. Permit holders will undergo training. Guns still won't be allowed in government buildings or schools, and people who go through the proper channels can get permits.
Criminals never cared about proper channels and carried handguns regardless of gun laws. We shouldn't worry about law-abiding citizens having the right to carry firearms where they are legally allowed to do so.
There's another part of the law, which also makes perfect sense: If you own a business, you have the right to ban customers, visitors or clients from carrying handguns inside your business.
The Illinois State Police website, www.isp.state.il.us/firearms/ccw, even has a PDF of a sign you can download for use in your place of business of a red circle with a line through it over an image of a handgun.
Obviously, many business owners are interested in banning handguns from their businesses. Some won't. It's their right to handle it however they want, just as it's within gun owners' rights to carry handguns where they're legally allowed to do so.
Most people who have no dog in this fight agree this is reasonable. If the proprietors of Mega Trampoline don't want some guy strapped with a Berreta doing backflips at my kid's birthday party, I'm down with that.
But the McHenry County Right to Carry Association is fighting back and urging local chambers of commerce to discourage the use of the signs, with some rather silly hyperbolic arguments.
"If state law permits concealed carry and if a business owner posts against it, is he increasing his liability, if an armed robbery occurs on his premises and customers or employees are injured or killed? A robber can be fairly sure that his victims will be unarmed, if he sees the sign on the door. If he doesn't see the sign, then is a robber likely to pass up that business, because he won't know whether an employee or customer might be armed?"
First of all, most business owners always have had the right to be armed in their own stores. Secondly, what business' primary safety plan is the hope that some random armed citizen strolling through the shop will protect them from armed robbers? Might as well stick a sign on the door stating "This Store is Protected by Batman."
Having spent a fair amount of time on the South Side of Chicago in younger days, I can think of a few times, places and situations where I might have felt safer carrying a handgun. But at what kind of McHenry County businesses are customers with concealed handguns vital to our shopping or dining needs?
"Sure, honey, I'd love to try that new sushi place, but, you know, I don't trust unknown wasabi unless my Glock is securely holstered. What if that dragon roll tries to make a move?"
We're all going to get used to the concealed-carry law, and it's going to be fine. In the meantime, I'd caution advocates not to get too overzealous or risk shooting themselves in the foot.

My dd is on her 4th round of antibiotics since she was born and she is only 3.5 months old. This time she has fluid in her ear and a touch of bronchitis. I have done my best to keep her healthy but with 7 brothers and sisters and half of them coming and going to school, it is nearly impossible to keep all germs out of the house.
I had been giving her acidophilus for her icky poops assuming that all of the meds were definitely contributing to the problem. They started to look like they were returning to normal and then she got sick again. But this time it started with incredible gas and rumbling in her tummy. Diarrhea returned and her appetite has nearly disappeared. Absolutely nothing changed in my diet. I eat rice, turkey, carrots, and pears. I have been wanting to add one thing at a time but each time I get ready to, her poops turn icky and she ends up with a cold. Anyhow, I know it is not from something I ate.
I have noticd that she is more congested in her nose this time. Can drainage from her nose cause an upset stomach? This started before we started meds this time so I know they were not the initial cause. I am hoping it is something as simple as her cold and it will get better. If not, I do not know what to do or where to go from here. I cannot cut anything else from my diet. I already do block feeding which has cured the green bloody poops. I am starting to get very frustrated that I just can't seem to bf'd my babies.
Thanks for any advice.

I guess that means I can gain 8 pounds this week since I lost 8 spots. Wait, how is that fair? I lose spots in the points and gain weight? I already need to lose 10 lbs. I guess I'll have to ramp up my exercise routine. What's the weather like here? Is there a treadmill? Oh well, I guess there needs to be consequences for eating this great food.
Keep the great meals on the down low beaver. You don't want to rile up the Mrs, you're in enough trouble as it is...

Seriously Twilight is long and sucks just like Lord of the rings
i never really was a fan of Twilight. I disliked it, not because of the crazed fangirls and the hype about it, it's just the first time the first book came out, I read it then I read new moon and eclipse and then breaking dawn. I disliked the fourth book. The movies are dull, and boring. i don't hate it though. I remember actually being the first girl in my school to actually read the book, I saw it as just a normal book, then the whole school went all crazy, and started to read it. I like it but I don't favor it.
I can honestly say that I've read all the books, and they were okay at best. Then the movies came around. I used to rage about them, but now I no longer see the point. That's my opinion though. I've really stopped bashing people who like Twilight. I myself will never like Twilight. Sorry.
All the books are mediocre .
It was just a dense sappy love story .
The main characters have no depth to them , the story was oh so boring, and easily predicted .
Also, it ruined Bram Stroke's Dracula and made vampires seem more like sparkly faeries than actual monster-like begins .
I mean vampires that don't suck human blood ? Really?
I've read fanfictions that are better than that .
There's one more thing I don't like at how vampires are represented in Twilight, except being emo and glowing in the sun. It makes no sense that vampires just created are much stronger than the ones that have been around for centuries. It should've been the opposite. Elder vampires are so weak that anyone can just run up to them and take their head off.
I don't like it because the characters are unlikable, flat and one-dimensional; Kristen Stewart's character is completely just.. stupid. The story doesn't develop very well at all and in the end, it's just strange. As for the reason I think most people dislike it though is because it's so popular when it doesn't have any qualities of a well developed story/plot.
