I asked about surprise you know. More than eleven all. Away will it could be or -- aren't. -- Coke and Coke. -- and in this -- like in this game for congress to college athletic they don't you can't stop a quarterback that runs for 440 of its sixth -- 235 -- mosques saying he has the greatest receiver of all time. To that briefly earlier if you have an area that -- Randy Moss yesterday former New England patriot rainy months. Has now stated that he is indeed. The greatest NFL receiver of all time I don't. Really think -- -- -- -- greatest receiver ever I think now the now motor I didn't think I'm the greatest receiver to ever do it I don't think numbers stand because there is you know you didn't. You talk about this in this I think that I've had this year has been a down year for me statistically the year before I retire was down near Indian and Oakland was a down year so I don't really live phone numbers are really -- -- impact and which are able to do out in this field are really do think that I'm the greatest receiver to ever play this game. Now I'm I'm I'm tried -- trying to wrap my. Head around what he's saying well. Jerry -- says I don't know for a final series I think these three Treasury's three year -- says three more touchdown catches. -- -- but let me ask this to you in order to be the greatest. A positional player of all time do you have to have one -- yes oh yes that's the idea Danny is answered never going to be in the category with Montana Brady -- -- And so you would deny Randy Moss. Randy says I've read I mean are you on top. I'll talk yeah he's hoping top top top three receivers running those were at rice Yemen. TO. You would TO that the very line just -- I mean as -- what I write you know I wouldn't put him in the top three human being wise but yeah. I just I'm no -- no gym when it comes to life I think that's hyperbole. From Randy Moss soon and -- and is. Little bit of hyperbole. Political old. Greg yet create I think that that's what they're about -- -- -- -- that would -- there is the elect that the damage here but after -- over the -- here. I've I've really become the bat or -- yeah its US. And that -- we we -- week you are he has fewer. His -- on the text line 97107. -- is right not about the numbers it's about the impact on the game. A developer area ruins your voice that he's had the most impact on the NFL with The Who has won here with a New England. At that next Tuesday. Correction rice has four rings just like the best quarterback of all time Joseph Montana. -- experience Mondale won with young yeah. Pretty sure it's pretty shares. Joseph Montana greatest quarterback of all time Tom Brady is quarterback. -- And Peyton Manning's greatest quarterbacks don't and an -- is regular season quarterback. No way -- community and a rated is one more MVP awards and Tom Brady right. Does the -- -- again I mean you know you you know you get the MVP -- you know when the super ball. And 0:5. AM. In the mind though as you wonder why great -- the incredible. I got out the global. And -- that is comparable. Randy must this -- Greg Randy -- sounds exactly like Kenny powers.

Looked at in a negative light reflects poorly on on a healthy people who like vegetables those two we don't want a bully. The carrot stick for yourself. They -- rank -- those people bring a little last celery sticks to work in the. And there's other Celtic -- Christie Cahill McNamee -- -- numbers -- A good. The -- -- -- action I mean. I you know I can't decide -- for lunch today I am gonna have hail. Or a piece of cardboard food to taste very know they don't tell that no they don't -- -- that today's vote over. For some cardboard -- -- -- -- what is gill -- I don't think greens it's like to see weeds Hillary Clinton was we would result we lose. Salt on it at this like grasp on every paragraph saying autograph got a good parent. That's that we do have a until later on I think the 9 o'clock hour that will please those of you who are anti greens yet the CDC data you -- haters out. Those are going to be delighted.

On this day (May 6) in 1864, Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's 101,000-man Army of the Potomac and Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee's 61,000-man Army of Northern Virginia fought the first of what would be a bloody series of encounters between these two now famous antagonists.
Grant, who had been called east in early March 1864, promoted to lieutenant general, and ordered to take overall command of the Union army, was then ordered by President Abraham Lincoln to commence what officially was designated as the 1864 Virginia Overland Campaign against Lee.
This 1864 campaign was to be part of a coordinated offensive strategy across a number of southern states. Grant was to engage Lee in Virginia, while Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman was ordered to invade the heart of the Confederacy, and Gen. Philip Sheridan was to engage and defeat the "rebels" in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley and in the new state of West Virginia.
Grant chose to make his headquarters with the Army of the Potomac, although Gen. George Gordon Meade retained formal command of that army.
The battle fought this Friday and Saturday (May 6-7) was designated as the Battle of the Wilderness because it was waged in a wilderness area of some 12 miles by 8 miles of dense forest and foliage near the previous battle sites of the Union defeats at Fredericksburg (December 13, 1862) and Chancellorsville (May 2-4, 1863), both in Spotsylvania County, Va.
The Battle of the Wilderness was the first of four bloody encounters fought in May and June 1864 between Grant and Lee, and was the beginning of Grant's "war of attrition," which was designed to destroy Lee's increasingly depleted army, occupy the Confederate capital at Richmond, and finally end the increasingly unpopular, bloody Civil War.
These four battles were: 1. Battle of the Wilderness (May 6-7); 2. Battle of Spotsylvania (May 8-12); the Battle of Cold Harbor (June 1-3); and the Battle of Petersburg (June 15-18). In all of these encounters, Union casualties usually exceeded those of the Confederates so that some consider them Confederate victories. For example, in the Battle of the Wilderness, Union casualties were, by best estimates, 17,666 (2,246 killed, 12,037 wounded, and 3,383 captured or missing) while Confederate losses were just more than 11,000 (1,495 killed, 7,928 wounded, and 1,702 captured or missing).
Union casualty rates were so high that many northern newspapers were beginning to refer to the Union commander as "Butcher Grant." Although the Battle of the Wilderness is sometimes described as a tactical Confederate victory (i.e., Lee survived to fight on until April 1865), it was clearly a strategic victory for the Union army.
Although Union casualty figures usually were considerably higher than that of the Confederates, the federal losses represented a smaller percentage of the total number of fighting men engaged than that suffered by Lee's smaller army.
Also, most importantly, Union losses were readily replaced, whereas the Confederate losses were irreplaceable.
Interestingly, for the entire Civil War (1861 to 1865), Union losses far exceeded those of the Confederates. The best estimates of Union losses, compiled by the U.S. War Department, are about 360,000 killed or mortally wounded. Of those killed, some 67,000 actually died in battle. Disease was responsible for some 224,000 Union deaths, while about 30,000 died while prisoners of war and some 28,000 from causes not known or stated.
Therefore the best estimate of total Union casualties from all causes is about 642,000. The total number of Confederate casualties (deaths, wounded, and missing) is less accurately estimated to be about 478,000.

Charter school students get hands-on experience during ArtPrize education days
Posted on September 27, 2013
Hundreds of students from several Grand Valley State University-authorized charter schools got to have a hands-on experience making whispering poetry tubes at ArtPrize education days, hosted by the Grand Valley Charter Schools Office.
Two groups of third-graders, from Vanderbilt Charter Academy in Holland and William C. Abney Academy in Grand Rapids, spent the morning of September 26 making their own art projects before touring portions of downtown Grand Rapids looking at entries in ArtPrize.
The students made whispering poetry tubes, intended to allow someone to listen to a piece of poetry even in a crowded or noisy environment.
"I think it went really, really well. They're learning a lot about art, in more non-traditional ways and how to express themselves through art," said Aliscia Washington, a third-grade teacher at William C. Abney.
Vanderbilt third-grade teacher Emily Neher also said she thinks the hands-on approach is a great way to expose students to art.
"I think that this is an experience that they are going to remember," Neher said. "It's a great way to get them to see a college, and I think that's an awesome experience for them, showing them what they can do in the future."

For seven Reserve Office Training Corps, or ROTC, cadets, college graduation day never came.
The soldiers with the Varsity Victory Volunteers left the University of Hawaii's Army ROTC program to serve in World War II only to never return.
"We know of seven right now that went to fight on our behalf in World War II that did not come back, so we are honoring them," said Lt. Col. Kevin McKay.
The men joined the Hawaii Territorial Guard but shortly later were expelled based on their race.
They formed the Varsity Victory Volunteers, cut their college careers short and fought the enemy overseas.
The men later joined the decorated 442nd Regimental Combat Team.
For the soldiers' families, Monday's ceremony was the closure they did not expect to get.
"I was always thinking that if something like this happened, it would have happened earlier but this is fantastic," said Michael Nagaji.
Michael Nagaji accepted his uncle Grover Nagaji's posthumous degree. Staff Sgt. Nagaji was from Waipahu. His nephew says his parents would be proud of their son.
"I'm sure if they were here, they would be the happiest they could ever be," said Nagaji.
The recipients of the posthumous degrees were joined by the newest class of cadets commissioned, symbolizing what could have been the next chapter for these soldiers.
For Sgt. Howard Urabe, student life at the UH Manoa campus meant a possible career as a teacher.
"I'm sure he would have been happy because he always wanted to go school," said Urabe's sister Elaine Tamura.
"He was a brilliant man and it is deserving that he gets a degree even if it's way past due," said Clifford Urabe, Sgt. Urabe's nephew.
McKay said although the ceremony came nearly 70 years after the men died, it was the honor the soldiers deserved.

This week signals the return of Congress after a month-long recess. With Congress facing looming deadlines relative to passage of the FY12 spending bills (appropriations bills), the expiration of the current surface transportation law (which includes funding for trails), and the creation of a plan for deficit reduction, this week's activities provides a telling forecast of the rapid pace Congress will move through the end of the year and the mayhem that pace is likely to produce. Today, the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee passed a four-month extension of the current transportation law. The Senate is continuing to work on its version of the reauthorization of the surface transportation law. We know that Republican leaders in the House have stated they want to eliminate the Transportation Enhancements (TE) program which requires states to set-aside 10 percent of the surface transportation money it receives for projects such as trails. House leaders have also called for the elimination of line-item funding for programs such as the Rails to Trails program. While Senator Boxer has said there will be mandatory funding for trails in the Senate's version of the bill, it is uncertain whether Senate leaders will be able to garner support from their Republican colleagues for such funding. On the other side of the Capitol, the House will mark up the Transportation-HUD appropriations bill that will determine how much funding will flow to the states in FY12 for transportation related programs. This funding will be guided by current law which means TE will be required to receive funding and the Rails to Trails program will likely receive some level of funding for FY12. Also today, the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction will begin its work with a with a public organizational meeting before President Obama addresses a much-publicized joint session of Congress to unveil his new plan for job growth,. The 12-member bipartisan "deficit super committee," is charged with finding ways to cut at least $1.2 trillion in spending through 2021. House Democrats are pushing to attach jobs initiatives to any of the panel's legislation, which the President will be making the case during his landmark speech this evening. Republicans will oppose any proposals that add spending to the $14 trillion debt, preferring instead regulatory rollbacks to help stimulate the economy. It is very likely we could see this committee recommend the elimination of the Land and Water Conservation Fund, which provides money to state and local communities for outdoor recreational resources. In summary, we have Democrats and Republicans in Congress working to cut spending, which includes cuts to programs that impact park and recreation agencies, while on the same day, the President plans to call on Congress to spend more than $300 billion for a stimulus package. How do we balance two seemingly competing priorities of cutting the deficit and stimulating the economy and where does funding for park and recreation infrastructure and programs fit into that conversation?
Stacey PineNRPA, Chief Government Affairs Officer
Additional contributions made by Leslie Mozingo, Partner, The Ferguson Group
Not to oversimplify, but it seems that we must reiterate parks and recreation's value to individuals and communities across America. A cost/benefit ratio study of parks and recreation would demonstrate parks and recreation's extraordinary return on public investment. The fiscal impact of LWCF and bike/ped programs is negligible. The expenditures result in public assets that have lasting value. The parks and recreation community and the public we serve need to express that value clearly, compellingly and repeatedly.

I could read a book about this without finding such real-world approaches!

Carrie Fisher
From Wikiquote
Carrie Frances Fisher (born October 21, 1956) is an American actress, screenwriter and novelist. She is the daughter of Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds.
- Mostly, you write a script and someone's gonna rewrite you. They get hundreds of—not hundred but they get ten writers to write something. If you have a big budget, you can go and get a lot of people to write on script .... I just actually heard that somebody said, 'Well, your screenplay got bought and now someone like Carrie Fisher will come in and rewrite you.' And I feel terrible, you know, because that's not what I mean to do. My idea was never to raid something and trash it, you know. 'Cause that – that's more work for me!
- From the filmmaking documentary Dreams on Spec
- I have gone to the set and you're kind of around in this—it's kind of combat writing when you do rewriting and stuff, and I feel like it's a kind of ambulance chasing. Recently, I did this kind of a (laughing) where you go, "Oh, my God, it's bleeding from the second act. Quick! Quick! Give me a suture! No, give me the paddles! This is the third act that's having a heart attack!! The star is coming! The star is coming!" And it's this incredibly intense process!
- From the filmmaking documentary Dreams on Spec
- I slept with some nerd. I hope it was George. I took too many drugs to remember.
- In a Vanity Fair interview when asked how she got the part in Star Wars
- Wayne, George (November 2006). "The Princess Diaries". Vanity Fair. "I would be remiss if I didn't ask how you ended up in Star Wars. I slept with some nerd. I hope it was George. You weren't sure? No … I took too many drugs to remember"
- I Googled myself without lubricant. I don't recommend it.

Postcards from the Edge (1987)[edit]
- Instant gratification takes too long.
- "That's the way it works in movies," said Suzanne. "Something happens that has an impact on someone's life, and based on that impact, his life shifts course. Well, that's not how it happens in life. Something has an impact on you, and then your life stays the same, and you think, 'Well, what about the impact?' You have epiphanies all the time. They just don't have any effect."
- I love what speed and coke do to my weight. It's unnatural, I know. I could just exercise....

Here's the way Cole'll face them. I'm guessing 50 pitch limit?
1. Tyler Pastornicky (R) 2B
2. Jason Heyward (L) RF
3. Justin Upton (R) LF
4. B.J. Upton (R) DH
5. Chris Johnson (R) 3B
6. Evan Gattis (R) C
7. Ernesto Mejia (R) 1B
8. Todd Cunningham (S) CF
9. Ramiro Pena (S) SS
I see we're back to Utley and Howard 3 and 4 against the lefty starter Maholm. Just an observation…start reacting to daily lineups right now, and you couyld go nuts.
Here's what I've started to wonder about that I wonder if someone might have an explanation on.. All we've heard regarding Delmon Young, the plan is to play him in right field. With Brown asserting himself so far, and possessing a strong arm, and seemingly getting comfty in right by presumably playing there through the rest of ST, why is Young, so long time removed from the OF, and I believe especially RF targeted for RF. Why not just figure him for LF if he does wind up playing regularly?
I'm guessing that that comment from Amaro (regarding D Young being the right fielder in a perfect world), was meant for D. Young. i.e. that some assurance was made that he would get a shot at RF as a condition for signing with the Phils.
Makes sense, and his thinking might have been along the lines of a platoon in left.
I reread that Luzinski post, and did get into more comparison of Luzinski and Burrell than intended. Not a big deal.
This is what I call a line up. Hopefully rollins doesn't get hung up on being in the 2 hole.
This may show how little I follow Spring Training baseball…when did they start using a DH in NL vs. NL Spring Training games?
Long winded nothing answer to your question. What shows someone doesn't follow ST closely is when your info was breaking news. Guilty as charged.
Actually, I kinda thought I noticed that last Saturday somehow, but paid it no mind.
But I looked at today's lineups, and sure enough, every NL V NL has a DH V DH.
Could it have something to do with the WBC I wonder.
This might have been implemented years ago for all I know.
Good inning for Cole. Sure looked like good command.
On the Upton double, for what it's worth, Revere made a very decent throw back in. One hp, I guess some guys make it on the fly, but if a runner were trying to score on his arm, depending on the jump, they might hve nailed the guy. Tend to watch sdomerthing like that considering Ben's rep for a poor arm.
Looked like Maholm went up and in as RyHo drills the lefty. Nice to see something other than low and away to The Piece..
Phils are 3-3 and a walk with lefties facing the lefty this inning.
Best inning off a lefthander in Phillies history.
Some spring stats should count.
Good call by Wheels on Brown playing Heyward's base hit well, and he made a nice throw too, strong and accurate.
Ruf could have played the single/2 base error better, and made a really weak throw in. Before that (T3), Phils were playing 2011 type defense, the year they led the league in fielding percentage, but still drew criticism for lack of range. In other words, they were at least making the plays they were supposed to make (Young and Hamels made nice plays on grounders).
In Play Run(s)… Ruf delivers an RBI after Michael Young collects an RBI off of the pitcher's glove and Dom Brown draws a walk. 5-1 Phillies and Maholm is chased from ST action.
credit where it's due…..a REALLY nice backhand play by M Young helps records Mike Adams first out of the spring.
Bet it feels great to him to be back in competition.
holy damn. Look at the movement on Adams's pitches. First three pitchs I've seen and I'm already impressed.
Also – the new mobile page for philliesnation is a lot nicer, props to whoever did that.
They've done the DH thing in the spring games as long as I can remember. As many ABs to the offense ans possible I would imagine is the reason.
Actually, I found some NL vs. NL Spring Training games from 2010 in which both teams had their pitchers bat and others in which one team used a DH and the other let their pitchers bat. Weird.
Why would you not do DH in the spring?
Even if the AL got rid of it. Id say still use it in ST.
It is a horrible rule though.
Absolutely ruins the AL.
There is not an ounce of strategy in the games.
How can a baseball fan like the DH? How is it possible?
Thanks for the updates Ken E.
I live in DC and cant watch the game.
Have to wait for reg season and pay for the baseball package.
Well worth it. I watch 2 or 3 games every day.
you're missing a good one today. Clicking on all cylinders (so far), they seem to be more attentive than yesterdat.
Pettibone's on now. Lookin' forward to it.
whole lineup's doing well, but 3-4-5 kicked in nicely, and that was nice to see after last year.
Cant wait for opening day.
I miss Wheeler so much.
I miss him every off season.
By game 3 I will be openly mocking him.
But I have come to enjoy him and just how goofy and silly he is.
As a broadcaster? Not going to the HOF lol
Pretty bad actually but hes ours.
That's one thing I wish they would replace…our entire tv broadcasting team. I always considered Andy Musser as my least favorite announcer growing up, but I'd gladly take him anyday over the 3 clowns we have in there now. You are being too kind Andrew. Wheeler is terrible.
I really like Franzke… T-Mc and LA are alright… Sarge is ok in small doses. But I'm not a Wheels fan… I think he knows his stuff but he's just too analytic. Sometimes, you have to let the game do the talking… take a moment to let the viewer/listener hear the sounds of the ballpark (Harry was great at that). If Wheels was reading this, I'd tell him that you don't have to analyze every single second of every single game. Sometimes, a ball is a ball and it doesn't matter why it's a ball and what pitch you think the pitcher is going to throw next because he threw that ball and why you think the batter is having a good at bat… it was off the plate, Wheels.
When you say you didn't like Musser, I wonder if you followed basketnall to the point where you listened to him, and if so, had the same distaste for his work. I think it was pretty widespread feeling, and seemed apparent to me that Andy was a much better basketball announcer. That was one thing I admired about Bill Campbell, he seemed very adept at all 3 sports. I don't know that his style back then would go over well now (announcers are more personable, or personality driven now).
On Wheeler, I'm amazed, more so by McCarthy and how much he (but both) seems disliked, but he keeps his job. I was never over the top vocal about disliking the two, but I made my feelings clear on occasion. I just git tired of complainiung. My tendency now is if I can't say something nice about them, I just shut up. I thought Wheels picked up on some action nicely, and gave him some credit today on a Brown defensive play..
I don't like Sarge at all, but he's tthe sort of guy that inspires guilt if you criticize him. He is more the master of the obvious than at least 1 female I know. There. I giot out without ripping the whole species.
I should clarify. I didn't dislike Andy Musser, I just liked him least. We were spoiled with Campbell/Whitey and then Whitey/Harry. I really like LA and Franzke…wish we could them for tv.
yeah AfW when you said he's ours it reminded me of what al bundy said on married with children he said " you're a pip peg! but you're my pip!" true love there man.
NOW THIS IS THE LINEUP I WANNA SEE 90% OF THE TIME. Replace Nix with Chooch and voila!
Well played! And it's still F@n February….
Am I the only person that likes sarge? Sure hes not a great announcer but hes got a lovable goofiness about him.
ilike sarge a lot, he's kinda out there funny ya know? it's cadillac time!


text: My 11 month old daughter refuses to eat vegetables no matter how they are prepared! I have tried steaming them and letting her feed herself. I have tried purees and veges from baby food jars. Sometimes she will take one bite but most of the time she turns her head and refuses the spoon if it is green or orange! Any suggestions for "tricking" her or teaching her to love her veges. I am planning on weaning her within the next few months so she will really be needing those nutrients and I am worried about her not getting them. She loves pureed fruits, yogurt, prunes & oatmeal mixed together, cheese, and pasta but no veges! It is so frustrating to continue to try giving her food that I have to throw away later (or eat myself).

The Department of Justice announced Wednesday that law enforcement officers arrested several people on the Big Island indicted by a federal grand jury in
Honolulu on Nov. 20 for operating an illegal gambling business and conspiring to do so.
The following people were charged with the offenses:
- Eric Ford, age 45
- Marlo Banasan, 34
- Matthew Phillips, 39
- Kendale Limahai, 47
- Robert Bland, 35
- Jonah Yardley, 37
- Trevor Carter, 24
The grand jury also charged Ford and an eighth defendant, Barbara Ford, 44, with 25 counts of structuring financial transactions for the purpose of evading federal reporting requirements, which includes the filing of a Currency Transaction Report with the IRS by a financial institution in regard to any currency transaction over $10,000.
Everyone, except Bland and Barabara Ford, were arrested on Wednesday.
United States Attorney Nakakuni said that, according to the indictment, Eric Ford
operated an illegal gambling business from at least November 2009, until Nov. 20, 2012, out of a water company business located in Kailua-Kona.
The indictment alleges that the gambling operation consisted of sports betting and various gambling events, to include poker games and craps games, and used an offshore gaming website.
The six other defendants, not including Barbara Ford, are alleged to have assisted Eric Ford in the taking of bets, collection of gambling debts, and payment of gambling winnings.
If convicted of the gambling and conspiracy charges, each defendant faces a maximum term of imprisonment of five years on each count.
Each of the structuring charges also carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison.
The case resulted from an investigation initiated by the Hawaii Police Department's
Criminal Intelligence Unit. Through an established partnership among the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Hawaii Police Department, and the Internal Revenue Service - Criminal Investigation, investigators were able to uncover the breadth of the illegal gambling enterprise.
"The FBI would like to acknowledge the Hawaii Police Department and the IRS for their outstanding investigative actions that led to today's arrests," said Honolulu FBI Special Agent Tom Simon. "The Hawaii Police, the IRS and the FBI remain committed to dismantling organized crime on the Big Island for the greater good of the local citizens."

Ten Simple Tips for Weight Loss
Parenting - Guidelines for Computer Use Involving Children
Why am I Always Cold?
Why am I Always Cold? A man suffers in hot weather while a woman beside him shivers from the cold. At night he throws off the blanket while she curls into a ball and tries to warm her cold feet. Does this sound familiar to you? It seems that the interior thermostat is regulated differently in men and women.
Male and female cardiovascular systems are similar; in both cases the heart pumps blood through the pipeline, which includes arteries, veins, and tiny vessels called capillaries. However, there are still differences between men and women, and they are revealed not only through primary and secondary sexual attributes. Their cardiovascular system functions differently due to these factors: The dominance of the female hormone estrogen, the quantity and distribution of fat and muscular tissue, and a lower metabolism rate, which influences the nature and energy of blood flow. All these factors lead to women feeling cold far more often than men. Even the fat layer, which serves as a good insulator, does not help. Mostly it is feet and hands that suffer from the cold.
Hormones reign
The situation is complicated by the fact that women have less muscular tissue, which means they retain less warmth.
So as not to let cold prevent a woman from performing her natural function a reproductive one her cardiovascular system operates on an internal temperature maintenance; even an insignificant temperature fall leads to the blood rushing from the skin to the internal organs, which causes the fingers, toes, hands, and feet get cold. Mens reactions to temperature drops are not that dramatic.
In general, it is natural for women feel cold from time to time, but within reasonable limits. However, hands and feet that are constantly cold indicate a circulatory system violation. In most cases this problem is treated with the help of healthy nourishment, light massage, and physical exercise.
Under the pressure
Both low and high blood pressure can cause hands and feet to be constantly cold. In the first case, the blood flows too easily, and in the second case, with difficulty. As a result, only a small amount reaches the extremities.
Blood pressure, the pressure that blood puts on the vessel walls of a healthy person, is normal in a state of rest and rises with physical activity. However, even in this case, there are differences between men and women. Women are more likely than men to have low blood pressure (59% of women versus 43% of men), according to English physicians research. Low blood pressure can cause fainting, and this brief loss of consciousness usually testifies to the brain not getting enough oxygen. However, low blood pressure also has evident advantages; according to statistics, women with low blood pressure live longer than those with high blood pressure, and they are less likely to suffer from heart diseases.
The cause of high blood pressure, or hypertension, in most cases is blocked vessels, which is caused by extra cholesterol. As a result, the vessels become narrow and blood presses against the vessel walls with more strength. It is hard to get rid of chronic hypertension, but it is possible to prevent it with lifestyle changes.
Fat acids contained in fish reduce the amount of cholesterol and maintain low levels of it in the blood. Fruit and vegetables contain antioxidants, which prevents vessels from blocking, by destroying a peculiar and very harmful form of oxygen, which acts jointly with cholesterol. It is helpful to reduce the consumption of coffee and black tea and to stop smoking, as caffeine and nicotine narrow the vessels. Alcohol, however, widens them, so a glass of brandy or wine will not do you any harm.
Lastly, inert circulation and high tenacity of blood are usually the consequence of dehydration, when the capillaries get narrow. To prevent this, doctors recommend drinking at least one and half liters a day.
Treatment takes more efforts than preventive measures
The most frequent enemies of women who get cold often, are nervous breakdowns and stress. Consequently, try to wear clothes according to the weather; warm enough but light, as overheating effects thermoregulation of the body. In periods of overworking, drink sedative herbs
extract: valerian, melissa, motherwort or sedative teas
, which are sold both in tea bags, in grain, or in combination with herbs. Also try to find some time for rest and sleep. As for sleep, you should get at least 8-9 hours a day.
You should also eat balanced meals based on your bodys needs. It is essential to consume foods rich in minerals which will strengthen the capillaries, and vitamins which will help to maintain your vascular systems good form (your doctor should advise the optimal dose).
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is contained in dog-rose, lemon, orange, kiwi, black currants. This vitamin regulates blood coagulation, tissue regeneration, capillaries penetrability, and synthesizes collagen, which is necessary to heighten the tissue flexibility and to stabilize cells.
Vitamin P (bioflavournoids) is contained in citruses. Especially in piles, nuts, and pumpkin seeds. It is recommended to be taken with Vitamin C, as it prevents oxidation of the latter. Vitamin P hinders the appearance of bruises by strengthening vessel walls, and maintains collagen levels, helping to prevent gums from bleeding.
Vitamin PP (nicotine acid) is mostly contained in liver, beef, eggs, coarse ground bread, cereals (especially buckwheat), legumes, and some in mushrooms. Vitamin PP is a member of ferments responsible for allowing cells to breathe and exchange protein, which regulates dominant nervous activity.
Doctors recommend to women whose feet frequently get cold to walk a lot. Walking in comfortable shoes is preferable.
Why do we get cold and how should we fight it?
Quite a female question
The most powerful female sexual hormone, estrogen, influences the circulatory systems activity. First, it makes the vessels widen. Second, it dilutes the blood and hinders the thrombus formation. By the way, oral contraceptives lower estrogen levels, which is why women who consume them suffer from thrombosis. Estrogen protects females from atherosclerosis development. Thats the reason why women suffer from heart diseases less often than men.
Cold feet can cause insomnia, because it prevents you from relaxing. Oddly enough, a cold foot bath will warm them because blood will rush to the cold feet. If this method seems extreme to you, take contrasting warm and cold feet baths 30 minutes before sleep. After the procedure, put on warm wool socks.
Women can feel chilly during their periods because of a decrease in iron. In this period one should eat more iron-rich foods.
After meals
Sometimes the bodys temperature can fall after meals, and it is usually the hands and feet that suffer first. It is caused by intensive stomach work, which requires the body to send more blood to the stomach. Thats why one should eat meals more often and eat smaller portions.
There are some other reasons of bad circulation: diabetes and hormone misbalance, namely the thyroid gland, so if feeling cold is not typical of you from childhood, youd better have a medical checkup.
3 methods to get warm
1. Exercise, especially cardiovascular training, benefits the capillaries and improves circulation in general. Doctors say the best exercise is swimming.
2. Massaging the hands and feet immediately after you feel you are getting cold will have a positive effect. Before going to bed, take warm hand and feet baths, then rub them with a terrycloth towel.
3. Self-massage with oils and black pepper, ginger, or cinnamon, also helps to warm hands and feet. Materials in these products widen capillaries.

My husband uses kibosh frequently, but pronounces it KYE-bosh. (He grew up in Pennsylvania and New York states).
I grew up in California and have always heard it pronounced kah-BOSH. To squelch or put a curse on something?

I've always heard it as 'kyebosh'. Dr Bill's link to Quinion has some interesting history and speculation. Apparently the word was first used here in London and appears in a work by Dickens.

Awww i must be getting under your skin. Welcome to the internet noob.
Aaahhh. The Dushbag Internetssssss!!!! Profitsss for mee!!!!

why r u fighting like 7 years kids

only difference is that power between each tailed beast's Tail IS DIVIDED DIFFERENTLY..
example lets say One Tail and Nine Tail both had a power lvl of 900 or the total amount of chakra they had was of 900 (hypothetically and im using this number to make my explanation easy to grasp)
if Gaara went 1tailed mode he would have all 900 of chakra or power from the Shukaku
if Naruto went 1tailed mode he would have 100 of chakra or power from the Kyuubi. For Naruto to have all 900 he would have to be in his 9tailed form. cuz 100x9=900
do u guys understand wat i mean?
this is wat i thought how the power of the tailed beasts worked. i thought they all were evenlly strong but had different amount of strength in the tails because they all had different number of tails..
didnt anybody else think the same thing?!?!
or am i the only one?
can I just say this: you're wrong dude

read the whole thread and you will see that this has already been established..
no offense,but how did you have false thought of this?it's obvious dude.
in this thread i posted the powers of the beasts in %'s
i've lost track over who's right but i know my post is true
kids :S

naruto does have half of the nine tails charka. when minato sealed used the death seal he seal hes soul and half of the nine tails charka into the death god. when he took half of the charka from the fox it grew smaller in size aswell. just re-read the manga and he will explain it.

Yes it has half its chakra but I think that just limits the amount of power it can call on at a time.
Even thought it had half its chakra it was still able to defeat SM Naruto, blast he hachibi and burst more than half of kishuna's chains. In the second round of the fight Naruto was able to momentarily best the kyuubi in battle with the help of his mother and take away most of its chakra. Even with it chakra divided in half by minato and naruto taking most of that away it was still able to create a menacing ball more than 10 times its size before naruto sealed it again.
I read somewhere the Kyuubi represents the power of the Jubi and has an unlimited chakra.
Pamela says you have been pimped..
i read the part where Chiyo explains the tailed beasts but she doesnt say that more tails=equal more power..
sooooooo im back to square one asking where is the proof that more tails = more power
The fact of The Nine Tails having more power than it's other similar counterparts has been common knowledge for a long time. Use some common sense here people. Just a little bit WILL go a long way.
FROM THE FIRST F!@#ING EPISODE IT WAS KNOWN that the nine tails beast was the most powerful "natural Distaster." It could topple mountains with a SINGLE SWIPE OF ONE OF IT'S TAILS! I MEAN COME ON PEOPLE! OBVIOUS BY NOW!!?!!
Hands down, The Kyuubi is the most powerful (within exception of Jyuubi) tailed beast known to the naruto universe.
Originally Posted by NarutoVsGoku

ive read the manga.. everything up to date.. and i have more proof that says that all the tailed beast were equal in power!!
if you want to prove it to me then give me a chapter, page, quote that says more tails=more power or something of that sort.
btw get a effin avater b4 callin me a noob you stupid kid
Here's your chapter.
Case closed.

Fact is im a married adult who enjoys reading manga and discussing it....i dont need an avatar to do that, nor do I want one.
If you're a married adult... Would you be having an argument with a child? I'm eighteen, and if this kid is any bit younger than sixteen, I wouldn't even be going down to his level.

did you read the chapters 500 to 505(at least i think it goes to 505...)it said minato took its yin chakra nd stored it with the dead demon seal, leaving the kyuubi with its yang chakra. then of course we all know this part: minato then sealed the kyuubi and its yang chakra within naruto.

Eaton's Outta Here
Dumb Luck
The Phillies released Adam Eaton today, still owing him $9.15 million dollars. No other teams will likely be dumb enough to sign him before he clears waivers, avoiding having to pay his huge, ridiculous contract. If anyone does pick him up after that, they will only be required to pay the Phillies $400,000. Ouch. But what would be more painful, is having to keep Eaton around any longer.
Eaton has got to be the luckiest idiot on the planet; he's a millionaire, he gets a World Series ring and what did he do for it all? Nothing. Perhaps he could teach that trick to a few of us? It's the least he can do for the two years of pathetic baseball he pitched for the Phillies fans. Glad as we are to end the Eaton-era, my question is, who will we pick on now?? :O)
Team USA
A Blue Jays fan asked me at the game on Thursday if Shane Victorino was going to play for Team Hawaii. No kidding; he was very serious. I calmly explained to him that Hawaii was part of the United States and that, at that time, only Jimmy Rollins was scheduled to play for Team USA. I was tempted to see if he had ever heard of the state of Delaware, but was afraid I'd get the "Dela-where?" question. Canadians are fun. Anyway, it was announced today that Victorino would play for Team USA after all, replacing Grady Sizemore who is nursing an injury. Nice of them to include Shane as a real American :O)
Phillies Lose To Reds
The Phils went down to the Reds today, 10-3. However, the bats are beginning to wake up; Victorino went 2 for 3; Raul Ibanez and Greg Dobbs each went 1 for 2 with 1 RBI apiece; and former LA Dodger, Pablo Ozuna went 2 for 3 with 1 RBI. JC Romero pitched 2 solid innings and Ryan Madson pitched 1 scoreless. The loss went to rookie Andrew Carpenter who gave up 4 runs on 3 hits and 3 walks to start the game without recording an out.
The Phillies take on the Tampa Bay Rays tomorrow at 1:05pm in a World Series reunion. Pat Burrell has chosen to make the trip to see his old teammates. Pictures to come! The game is sold out and should be the highlight of 2009 Spring Training to date.

I hope the Phillies have better luck against the Rays then my Red Sox did! Your story about Hawaii reminded me about the Olympics when they were in Atlanta. People from New Mexico looking to buy tickets had their checks returned because tickets were only sold to people "living in the United States." Got to love it!
It takes a little time for the rust to where off, as the Red Sox have seen. I'm hoping that it's tomorrow when I'm there! I wish it was a bit closer so we could see each other, but nonetheless, we'll have great stories! I didn't know Sizemore was injured, I'm sure you're happy that Shane is replacing him.
At least Shane doesn't have to worry about a place to stay during WBC training. They are training in Clearwater, Florida.
Best part is that he gets to play for his country. The bad part is he might not be back until the end of March. But sometimes playing against that level of competition can also elevate your game. Let's hope all the guys come out of the WBC with more confidence, energy for the year,and most of all healthy..totally healthy.
Jenn, what times do the gates open tomorrow for the 1:05 game?
Rays Renegade
Gates open at 10:35am….oh, I am in sec. 105 row 13….think I said 106 before….blonde moment. See ya there!

O's Baffle Sox, is Manny on the Way?
As rumors swirled about the possibility of the White Sox making a waiver deal for the Dodgers' Manny Ramirez, the South Siders went down tonight to the suddenly "pain in the neck" Orioles by a score of 4-2. Look at the bright side: we didn't blow a save and the Twins once again fell to the Rangers as The Good Guys remain 3 1/2 back.
1 Comment
Manny vs. Ozzie. It's worth the money just for that. I'm sure both would like to be teamed up with the other. I'm hoping it happens because he revived the Dodgers when they acquired him … and they had less talent than the White Sox do now. That, and they may keep him at DH next year.

Mere weeks ago, Quarterback Brandon Allen was forced to leave a game due to shoulder injury. Sports can be just as dangerous as they are fun, so it is common for the players to sustain injuries at some point. Both children and adults can hurt themselves playing the sport they love, so it is important for them to be as safe as possible. Three of the best ways to stay safe while playing sports are:
Have Safety Equipment
From football to soccer, to skateboarding or skiing, all sports have their own versions of safety equipment. Padding and helmets are the most common forms, used to prevent severe bone breaks and –in the case of helmets – potentially deadly injuries. Some states even have bicycling helmet laws as a result. So, it is important to know what safety equipment is needed before playing any sport.
Pick the right helmet
To build off the last point, if a helmet is needed, make sure it is the correct kind of helmet. Different helmets are used for different sports, and have varying levels of durability as a result. A lacrosse helmet wouldn't be suitable for biking, and a skateboarding helmet wouldn't be of great use in football. All helmets are designed with use in mind, so take care to purchase the correct type of helmet before playing.
Many of the simplest injuries in sports are a result of a player not stretching properly or at all. Stretching helps prepare the body for the sport, isn't very time consuming, and increases mobility. It's a simple step, but an important one.
These tips do not always prevent injuries, but they can limit the possibility for one, and it is often considered better to be safe than sorry.

text: This is, perhaps, one of the most undervalued sets of the 1960's. The combination of the star power, condition sensitivity and set size, this Topps issue is starting to get noticed. This Topps issue was intended to be handled as each card has a perforated image of the player on the front. Once folded, the image would "pop" from the center in order to create a "Stand Up" figure. Due the design and the fact that colored borders surround each card, finding high-grade examples is awfully tough. The Mickey Mantle card is, by far, the key to a set that also has a run of short printed cards, making completion even more difficult. To read an in-depth article, click here.

In the words of Chicago Bulls basketball great Michael Jordan, "I'm back."
When I wrote a goodbye column that was published Nov. 27, I truly did not think that a return to this space would be possible.
I had been at the Northwest Herald for more than 23 years, and my departure from the newsroom was a source of great sadness. Part of leaving was giving up my column.
Life sometimes hands us surprises, and we're left to try to figure out our next move.
So it was when I was transferred from the Northwest Herald. As it turned out, it was just one of the many curveballs that 2013 handed me, but it certainly was one of the biggest.
Mind you, it wasn't as if I decided to sign a minor league contract with the Chicago White Sox as Jordan did.
And the decision to leave the Northwest Herald wasn't made out of exhaustion or the result of the death of my father or any number of the reasons that Jordan cited when he left the Bulls and the NBA.
The man had his reasons, but in the end, he returned to the game he loved.
And in a twist of circumstances, I find myself back to write this column, something that I have to admit I'm awfully fond of, too.
That does not, however, mean that I have made a return to the Northwest Herald newsroom. Maybe someday, but not in the near future, I'm afraid.
So please don't try to send me any press releases. As much as I would love to help, I'm not in a position to do so.
However, if you have ideas for columns or just want to drop me a line, that is still possible. You'll note the new email address for doing that at the end of this column.
No doubt when Jordan returned to the Bulls, he was a little rusty.
In fact we know he was, since he was 7 for 28 in shooting in that first game back against the Indiana Pacers, a game the Bulls lost, 103-96, in overtime on March 19, 1995.
Eventually he got back to form and went on to do great things.
I'm no Jordan, in basketball or column writing or anything else for that matter. But I will admit to feeling a tad rusty, and it could take a week or two to get back into the swing.
So your patience would be very much appreciated.
Jordan's foray into baseball, playing for the Double-A minor league Birmingham Barons and the Scottsdale Scorpions in the Arizona Fall League, took about 21 months.
My absence from this space lasted about six weeks.
So does that mean I beat Michael Jordan at something?
A girl can dream, can't she?

4/9/10 @ Miller Park
Like a total *******, I forgot my camera…
I guess you all have to take my word for it.
I'll warn you in advance, though…there's not much to speak of.
This game was a last minute decision.
So, I went early and grabbed a seat on the Bullpen Patio in Friday's Restaurant.
BP was pretty slow until Rickie Weeks stepped in. What happened next is sorta bizarre.
Weeks hits a long fly ball in my direction. I run to my right to put a play on it. I quickly realize that it is hit too far over my head. It appears as if it's going to land in the Harley Deck above the Bullpen Patio. When I realize I don't have a play, I cover my head in fear of the ricochet.
Wanna guess where the ball bounced? Yup…off the metal facing of the Harley Deck way above my head. Wanna guess where the ball bounced next? Yup…right off my head.
Damn…it really didn't hurt but it sure was embarrassing. There was nothing I could do.
I was helpless on the play.
Ball #1 was hit into the netting above the bullpen by Brewers 3B Casey McGehee.
It rolled down to my table and stopped. Perfect! I quickly flung my glove trick over the railing and soon had it reeled in for my 1st ball of 2010.
The Cards soon came out to hit and it became increasingly crowded.
I played the top of the bleachers for the Holliday/Pujols/Ludwick group.
I love Tony LaRussa. He puts the three righty sluggers all in the same group. Almost as if to say, "here you go, fans…catch a ball or twenty." Unfortunately, I only had a true play on one batted ball. Matt Holliday jacked one to the top of the left field bleachers where I ran over and made the play on the fly. Yup, it still felt good.
That was it on the day, people.
I didn't ask for any baseballs and left with two.
I told you it was nothing much…
- 2 total balls 4/09/10
1 batted baseball (caught on fly)
0 tossup baseballs
1 device baseball
4/5/10 = 0 baseballs
4/9/10 = 2 baseballs
4 Comments
Oof…I forgot my camera once, but I still made the entry pretty (ish) by using player profile pics and also by photographing the baseballs when I got home. Anyway, nice of The Wife to let you go. Hope all's well with you and your family.
Sooo, what happened to the ball that bounced off your head? Ouch! Hope you didn't get a big bump. Congrats on the impending arrival! Hope all goes smoothly.
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
Time is few and far between.
Everyone is well…thanks buddy.
I believe the ball went back onto the field. Not sure-it happened pretty fast. No bumps to report-I've got a hard head. Ha!
Thanks for the kind words.
Hey man…
Ive been reading up on your blogs about Wrigely Field. Im headed there in a week or so, and I was wondering if you had any tips for me. Like where the umpires leave the field, what can I expect there, and where are the hot spots to ballhawk at?
Any help will be appreciated.
You can email me at email@example.com

If we start losing parts of the system, it's not going to work quite as it's supposed to."going to be affected.

Those are the things that are taken out by contact with the oil, and the oil that's in solution now because of the dispersants, and these big plumes.

One hurricane could change [everything]. If this oil ends up in marsh areas, it could have very long-term effects."don't know are all of the trophic links. So one of the things that we like to compare this to, if you ever take apart a watch and you have all these different gears and different mechanisms, little wheels up to big wheels, and they all work together to produce a nicely functioning watch. If you put the watch back together without those little parts, it's not going to work. And we often don't know what all those little wheels and spokes are. And in this case we're talking about the different smaller animals, the zooplankton, and the different kinds of plankton. But they're part of the mechanisms that contribute toward a functioning ecosystem. If we start losing parts of the system, it's not going to work quite as it's supposed to.

And some of those eddies could very well carry this oil back to other Louisiana estuaries probably to the west or to the Texas coast.
