July 5, 2012 —
There's a very metaphorically patriotic debate going on in Narrowsburg over the effect of the fireworks on the local bald eagles. There is a nest on the flats and two out of the last three years, it seems the July 4th fireworks have caused eagles to fall from the nests. It's basically the bald eagle (federally protected and national mascot) versus the fireworks (beautiful patriotic tradition of exploding lights and loud noises). The only way it could get any more patriotic would be to add the good old stars and stripes into the mix somehow.
To be honest, most of what I know about July 4th and Independence Day I know from the Broadway show "1776." "1776" is a musical that follows John Adams, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson about the writing and signing of the Declaration of Independence. Spoiler alert: they sign it.
They debate what the national bird should be: Franklin wanted the turkey, Adams the eagle, Jefferson the dove. Adams wins and they sing a song about it. (Had either Franklin or Jefferson won the debate, fireworks wouldn't be a problem in Narrowsburg.)
It's not that I don't remember learning about this stuff in school. On the contrary, I remember doing it multiple times at different levels. American History was pounded into our brains from an early age. I have fond memories of a three-day class trip to Philadelphia when I was in first grade.
When I was in high school, I was in "1776" at the Forestburgh Playhouse. I played Joseph Hewes of North Carolina. "North Carolina yields to South Carolina," was my line—I said it twice.
And here's what sticks out to me about the signing of the Declaration that doesn't usually get talked about on July 4th. The second act of the show is largely dedicated to the massive debate that was going on between the North and the South about slavery. In the end, they removed all mention of slavery and it was an issue that the country continued to debate for almost a hundred years and beyond. (I've recently seen "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire," so I am feeling refreshed on this topic as well.)
They removed the mentions of slavery to unite around the Declaration of Independence. The heated debate led to unity and compromise. It was basically about everyone getting into the room and figuring it out together.
It's usually hard for me to get patriotic, especially around July 4th. I don't enjoy the commercialized patriotism: flags for sale and red, white and blue beer cans. It feels especially forced during an election year when everything seems split in two.
But stepping back and looking at the country, I can get excited about the debate that is constantly raging. We are constantly striving for more—for better. These days it's a little frustrating to see the very natural debate on topics fall into political spinning as did the Supreme Court decision about health care last week.
Everything is played politically and spun. The coming months will almost certainly bring even more partisanship and heated debate. Hopefully, it will be the kind that can eventually band us together and lead to compromise.
And so we are back to the metaphorical eagle vs. firework debate. Is there a way for both to exist? Would the presence of a National Park Ranger on the river in front of the eagles' nest during the fireworks to monitor for any eagle difficulties suffice for both sides? Just don't throw those red white and blue cans in the river.

The Curse of the Pen
I was only 8 years old. I didn't know any better. 8 year olds put their hands on everything, even when they know they shouldn't. But I guess that's not much of an excuse for what I did, or what I believe I did.
August 1st, 2001. I was 8 years old. My parents were going to take me and my two brothers on a tour of Yankee Stadium. We were to see the field, Monument Park, the retired numbers, the dugout, everything. I was so excited. It was going to be the day of a lifetime.
We took the long drive down to the Bronx and finally were there. I don't know how long the drive was; to an 8 year old anything above 15 minutes is long. I remember marveling at the beauty of the ballpark, and seeing how it was so much bigger than on tv. The last part of the tour was the visit to the dugout. And that's where it happened.
We were instructed to take a seat on the bench of the dugout. I sat next to a crease between two cushions. The tour guide was telling us about the dugout, and I wasn't really listening. I was becoming restless. I was running my hands all over the dugout. I came to the crease, and I stuck my hand in it. I was feeling around, hoping I would find some kind of unknown treasure. As I was thinking those thoughts, I felt something. It was a pen. My Dad told me to get my hand out of there, and I took it out, holding the pen. I told my Dad I found a pen, and he was like, "Oh, how about that." He was not too excited. But I felt that I made an amazing discovery. The tour was finished, and we left for home. I held my head up proudly.
From left to right: my little brother Tommy, me, my Dad, my big brother Bobby. This is when I found the pen!
On the drive home, we were trying to think of whose pen that could've been. My Dad said Joe Torre, because it was in the spot where he always sat. That night as we watched the game on the tv, we noticed that Joe Torre was a bit cranky. "It's because of the pen!" my Mom joked. But later in the game, Jeter made a baserunning error, and when he got back to the dugout, Torre was livid. He was actually angry. He talked to Jeter in what seemed like a harsh tone. He never does that! We thought it was because he was annoyed that his pen wasn't there!
It may seem like a ridiculous coincidence, but the Yankees have not won the World Series since I stole Torre's pen. I think I cursed my Yankees. Why else would Torre have been furious that night? Many times, I have tried to tell the Yankee organization about the pen, but I never got a response. The last thing I wanted to do was to curse the team I live for! I still have the pen, and I never even wrote with it. I am keeping it safe in case someday I can send it back to the Yankees. I really hope the Yankees win the World Series this year so the curse will be over. But until then, the Curse of the Pen remains.
There it is: the pen that cursed the Yankees.

Just close your eyes and it'll be all over… this won't hurt one bit.
In all seriousness, calm down, it's not your fault, lol. There are no such things as curses, you're not an evildoer, a witch, nor a wiccan. And besides, we're going to win it all this season, worry not my friend.
By the way, I find it funny how you show us two pictures and yet I still have no clue what you look like…
-Jason Mraz
Good job, Virginia. So it's all YOUR fault. Nope, not Torre calling a drawn-in infield for Luis Gonzalez or Torre using Jeff Weaver in a tied 12th inning World Series game or Torre not bunting on Schilling in the ALCS or Torre not pulling the Yankees off the field in Cleveland when they were being attacked by bugs…..nope. It was all you. Well….I hope you're proud of yourself young lady.
J/K…..I leave the believing in curses to Red Sox fans. They need those kinds of things nowadays. Look at how their season is going. Maybe you should send that story to some Sox fans, it might brighten their day. You know, we should do all we can for the underprivileged.
I hope you've been having a great birthday today, and here's hoping the Yanks pull off the sweep for you!
Dang pen! Haha, Happy birthday.🙂 Have a great won, I hope the Yanks win for ya!
Lol. I don't think it's your fault that they haven't won the Fall Classic since "The Day you Found the Pen". Happy Birthday, by the way. Too bad the Yanks lost, though. Ah well, it was a good series!
All the best,
Happy Birthday, Virgina, I hope all went well. I see the Yankees losing as a minor set back. I think AJ Burnett will get things going for the Yanks again when they take on Vin Mazzaro and the Oakland Athletics. Another West coast stop and the Yankees are 3 wins and 1 loss into the trip.
Matthew Tang
oh, and thanks for checking out my blog!🙂
Cool yet sad story you have there. Stupid pen. Haha! Happy birthday🙂
By the way, getting up close to David Eckstein was the greatest thing ever. If Francisco Cervelli was infront of you, I bet you can't stop smiling for ten minutes. lol
I giggled a lot while I read this. You're silly. Stop worrying about the pen & just worry about right now. You're 16! You shouldn't have a real care in the world until you're at least 17… haha. We're gonna get that title, don't you worry! I'm not in with the curses either, like Beth. I mean honestly, look at how many teams are doing worse than our boys are… Oh wait, that's everybody! I hope me making comments like this doesn't come back to bite me in the tushie… LOL. But seriously Virginia, have no fear. Number 27 is so close I can smell it! Or is that just NY pollution…? Whatever. I smell something, so I'll make believe it's a title!
Virginia, very cute story and you were definitely a cute eight year old. I always thought that it was Brad Penny taking the batting gnome out of the bullpen that messed up his pitching. And baseball players are very superstitious.
*You didn't curse us lol – Seattle just got tired of getting beat up! So they fought back, and not even Ace could keep 'em quiet this time around… It's all good. We took 3 of the 4, and now we're on to Oakland. (Translation: ANOTHER SWEEP!?)
$100 says the bombers are gonna win it this year. I wish my Amazin's had a shot but I'm afraid they just don't. Still, better the Yanks than the Phils
Haha, great, great story, not many people have those great stories. I never enjoy stories, but this one was great! I once took a tour of the stadium as well, the first time you see a ballpark, its like nothing else. I remember when I sat in that dugout (I have a picture too!) what a feeling that was.
HAHA! You call 8 years a curse. Now I guess you know what its like being a fan of a team OTHER than the Yankees.

There have been quite a few articles and books on podcasting already, and some of them are excellent--particularly the ones that deal with some small part of the process. Quite often, however, they neglect to mention a common goal of podcasting: to be like a radio station, slick and with easily understood formats. That's odd to me. Podcasting is an ideal medium for experimentation because the costs are so low, so you should try out some off-the-wall stuff.
That said, how do you put a podcast together?
For gearheads this can be a difficult area, because there is absolutely no limit to the amount of expensive gear you can accumulate! However, the basics are straightforward and relatively cheap. You need a computer with a sound card and audio ins and outs, a net connection, web space, some editing and recording software, and a mic. For intensive, multitrack editing with effects, you need quite a hot computer. For straight interviews, you can concievably get away with something like a Pentium I.
For location work, you need something that can travel, such as your laptop. Mstation uses a minidisc recorder purchased secondhand, plus a tiny Sony stereo mic (ECM719) that provides quite reasonable quality. This sort of setup is ideal if you want to be semi-invisible and not make a big deal of what you're doing. The flip side is that some interviewees might regard that sort of setup as looking unimportant. More than likely, though, they'll settle down sooner without having a big mic stuck in their faces.
Information on sound cards is readily available, but researching mics can be more difficult, especially if you want to record music or ambient sound. If you want to really get into it, reading some of the audio-engineering specialist texts will be rewarding. If you don't, then going to a couple of pro audio shops and asking around will yield an answer within your budget. Brand names such as Shure are usually pretty safe; even Radio Shack has some good models.
For recording standard phone calls, there are two types of special mics. One is an induction loop that attaches to the handset, but the sound quality is pretty low. The higher-quality option is one that goes inline with a wired phone handset.
Recording something like Skype doesn't require any mics beyond the one necessary for the phone call. Here are a couple of how to's: Recording Skype in Linux, Recording Skype in Windows.
The Audacity application has occupied a lot of column inches in podcasting articles, and rightly so. It is easy to use, free, and runs on all the major platforms. You can record directly into it, edit, and use the LAME plugin to produce an MP3 from inside it.
A lesser-known alternative is Ardour. Its goal is to become the Open Source competitor of high-end products such as Pro Tools. It's big and powerful, and while not quite as intuitive as Audacity, it is more rewarding for power users. Among other things, it plays with multi-in audio cards such as the RME Hammerfall, and works with control surfaces. (Yes, that's part of the no-limit gear goal.) Control surfaces are digital mixers that let you use knobs and faders rather than a mouse. A mouse can do only one thing at a time, whereas you can perform many tasks simultaneously on a control surface. They also provide a nice tactile sense, even though most control surfaces aren't actually all that nice. This sort of setup only becomes really necessary if you need to balance a lot of inputs.
Ardour is available for Linux and Mac OS X.
One point worth making here is that more powerful apps give you more choices. You might find it easier to be creative with them once you know the basics.
In the world of indie podcasting, format decisions are the servant of content rather than vice-versa. (I just made that up but it sounds valid to me.) If you think about it, some of the most annoying moments of commercial TV and radio have to do with formatting decisions determined mostly by the need for advertisements; the same goes for quite a few web pages. The fact that this sort of programming can be lively and appealing to those with no attention span, no need for actual information, and no IQ worth mentioning, is beside the point. (Or, maybe it is the point.)
There are no rules for indie media, other than maybe "honor the content," where content is some combination of the idea and truth. Otherwise, especially with something like an interview, there wouldn't be any creativity at all--just the raw data.
Another topic of discussion has been the assumption that you should always look for the biggest market for your output. What is it about gigantism that gets people's juices flowing? What is it about "big" that makes some people equate it with "good"? Personal podcasting removes the need to cover the costs of expensive studios, license fees, and various employees. Make the most of it and let your mind roam free.
Enough of the rhetorical questions.
Everyone needs some affirmation and ego-stroking, of course, and the number of downloads you get is a direct affirmation. The question is: how big is big enough?
OK, you've clicked the big red button in Audacity or armed a track and pressed record in Ardour, and recorded yourself putting the world to rights.
In instances where people need to figure out what you're saying or the detail of what you're recording, quality is important. How much quality do you really need? It's safe to say that the better the quality, the longer people will listen. Lots of people will sit still for recordings of Skyped interviews, but quite a few will not. Part of it depends on how compelling the subject matter is.
At this point, you're beyond the quality of the equipment in the recording chain. That's a done deal for now. This is the stage in which you can get rid of any major annoyances, such as a door slamming or a coughing fit. Audacity and Ardour both make it quite obvious where the noises are and the areas you need to delete, but what happens if the door bangs just as someone makes an important point? What if there is no possibility of a retake? It's your judgment call. Beyond that is the real editing phase, which is where your real taste, honesty, and true intention come in. Practice!
What makes an audio file a podcast? There isn't anything special about the actual file data. It's still an MP3 (or whatever format). What makes it special and what enables people to subscribe to your podcasts is the RSS (Really Simple Syndication, some would say) 2.00 feed. RSS 2.00 added the
enclosure tag that makes the whole thing doable.
There are several easy ways to get your podcasts on the web. If you're already a blogger through one of the organized blogging sites, then most likely there's a section where you can simply upload your podcast files and your site will do the rest. Another easy alternative is to use something such as ourmedia.org, which is free and allows you to upload all kinds of video and audio files.
If you're rolling your own, there are a few things to know. (None of it is exactly headache material.)
The first task (assuming you already have web space) is to create a directory for the podcasts. At Mstation, it's podcast_files. You can then use the dircaster PHP script:
// DirCaster v0.4: Automatic iPodder RSS feed maker Written by Ryan King
// www.shadydentist.com id3 class from frummel No license or warrantee
// expressed, implied, enclosed, etc.
// Drop this script in a directory and it will generate an RSS feed suitable for
// iPodder, etc based off the MP3 files in that directory. To 'cast a new
// file, simply upload it to the directory containing this script.
// Feed information is based on id3 tags, requires PHP4 or better.
// Note: Avoid spaces in your MP3 filenames to avoid ugly filenames coming out
// of iPodder
// Instructions
// 1. Place this file on a server with supports PHP4 or greater.
// 2. Place MP3 files to feed in the same directory, add new files at will
// 3. Point iPodder to the URL of this file.
// ex. http://www.mysite.com/podcast/dircaster.php
// 4. Set the following varibles to match your setup if you wish
// Maximum number of mp3s to offer in a feed
$maxFeed = 10;
//Title of feed/site Used by iPodder for download subdirectory name
$titleTAG="Your page title";
//iPodder 1.0 seems to ignore everything below
//URL of site feed applies too
$linkTAG="http://your url";
//Feed language en-us = english USA
//Copyright for feed
//Your email address
//Name of feed generator
// Time to live
// You should not need to edit anything below this point.
// Main Code
header('Content-type: text/xml', true);
$rootMP3URL = "http://" . $_SERVER[HTTP_HOST] . $_SERVER[REQUEST_URI];
$rootMP3URL = substr($rootMP3URL, 0, strrpos ($rootMP3URL, "/")); // Trim off script name itself
print "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n";

$this->genre = stripJunk(trim(fread($fp, 1)));
return true;
{ // No ID3 tag
return false;
} else //the file doesn't exist
return false;
function getDir($mp3Dir) {
// Returns directory as array[file]=date in newest to oldest order
$dirArray = array();
$diskdir = "./$mp3Dir/";
if (is_dir($diskdir)) {
$dh = opendir($diskdir);
while (($file = readdir($dh)) != false ) {
if (filetype($diskdir . $file) == "file" && $file[0] != ".") {
if (strrchr(strtolower($file), ".") == ".mp3") {
$ftime = filemtime($mp3Dir."/".$file);
$dirArray[$file] = $ftime;
$dirArray = array_reverse($dirArray);
return $dirArray;
If you put this in the files directory and head for http://my_url/podcast_files/dircaster.php, you will find a genuine RSS 2.00 feed that people can subscribe to.
The resulting tags that are sent to a browser might look like the following:
<rss version="2.0">

<enclosure url="http://mstation.org/podcast_files/mstation_dover_st_market.mp3" length="12715291" type="audio/mpeg"/>
At Mstation, we also have a separate Blosxom page where we discuss what the Mstation podcasts are about and how you can subscribe. We've used the Blosxom plugins
interpolate_fancy, and
headlines to produce the layout and enable you to use the Mstation RSS 2.0 Podcast subscription feed with very little work on our part.
Blosxom handles the new m4v format for the TV iPod, while dircaster (at this stage, anyway) does not.
Once you have a subscription URL, you can also register it with iTunes or another feed syndicator such as Wikipedia list of podcast syndicators. On iTunes, you must create an account, but you don't actually have to buy anything to register your feed.
Good luck, and may your mind flow free!

It remains a mystery. Where is the bell that hung for so long in the tower at the First United Methodist Church?
The bell was donated to the church by Mrs. Betsy Stone in 1988. It crashed to the ground Feb. 4, 1923, when the church on South Street was destroyed by a late-night fire. The bell was sold for $65 soon after the fire to help build a new church in 1924.
The Methodist Church was established in Woodstock in 1850. Congregation members first met in the local schoolhouse. They then met in Excelsior Hall on the southeast corner of the Square, then for two years in Phoenix Hall on the south side of the Square, east of Dean Street. The congregation then met on Jefferson Street until the church was built for $8,000 in 1870 at the present South and Throop streets location.
Members are motivated to display the treasured missing bell at the church in part because displaying old bells is a Woodstock "tradition."
The Rev. James F. Clancy was pastor at St. Mary's when a bell was purchased from the McShane Bell Foundry in Baltimore in 1868. That bell hung in the old church on Lincoln Avenue where the grade school building is today.
When the church was torn down in March 1916, the bell was put in storage, to appear by the front door during Monsignor Al Harte's tenure as pastor, 1989 to 1997. When the St. Joseph addition was built in 2000, the bell was placed in a garden near the gymnasium, grade school and church.
For many years the original Presbyterian church bell was in the garden of Charles Wright's home on West South Street. Several years ago, church officials acquired the bell and placed it by the front entrance on East Calhoun Street. It is now at the new church on Route 47.
St. John's Lutheran Church moved from Jefferson and East Calhoun streets in 1963 to Route 47 and St. John's Road and placed its bell by the front entrance. The church obtained that bell in 1914 from Hy Stucksted Bell Foundry, St. Louis.
One of Woodstock's most beautiful sounds filled the air with the playing of chimes when Grace Lutheran Church was located at Washington and Tryon streets. The carillon was given to the church by Minnie Heider in 1940. When the church moved to a new location near Kishwaukee Valley Road, it moved the chimes to the new building.
The Woodstock Opera House has restored the bell that hung in the Opera House bell tower for years.

Priests and pets.. just doesn't seem right. I can't remember when holy people had pets that aided them, not even in stories. So the concept of priest and pet just sucks, we're fine as we are.
*cough* Shadowfiend *cough*Originally Posted by syanid
Funny idea, though quite unlikely :x ....
- as for feedback, i dont really know what you want this spell to do, want it to DPS, CC or?
And, is it a perminant pet?
- if no, then 8sec cast is quite long + how long would you want it to last?
- if yes, then why 100% total mana cost? - and why a 30sec CD :/?
Just as the first question that pop'd into my mind.

I think we can agree on the fact that Shadowfiend is just another way to regen some mana, it's not like lock's or hunter's pets, or god forbid - like water elemental :>Originally Posted by AetherMcLoud
Shadowfriend (New 11 Point Shadow Talent, replaces Mindflay. Mindflay is now a base priest spell):
Reduces the cooldown of your shadowfiend by a(nother) minute and your shadowfiend summoned by your shadowfiend spell is now considered a pet under your control. Unlike normal shadowfiends your shadowfriend doesn't have a limited duration, but it no longer restores mana upon hitting.
To be honest I really like it but what I dont like is that cost 100% mana :s
What about 75% of, ur mana base
I love the spells of than HOT angel
It sounds a great Idea
But what if the pet lasts 2 mins and has 3 mins CD?

Oh and for PVE a permanent shadowfiend would rock your socks out. The dude does really good damage now. I imagine having him out all the time would amount to a ~1000dps increase (probably more and his attacks would probably need a little nerf then). Which would put us closer to the "real" dpsers right now.
Oh and that shadowfriend "idea" was just a mockup of the OPs post, you know?
The 100% mana cost is obviously taken from the Warlock's pet summoning (which is 80%). But it should be a 10 second cast timer since all pets have that and are afflicted by their respectively hidden nerfs. Though it would be new-age.
It doesn't say anything about a duration, so it lasts till death or mount or when you cast Shadowfiend.
But the abilities posted are too PvP oriented. And I doubt that Blizz would implement a pet with 5% extra damage done to the target for PvE content, ever. To fix that, let it replace inner fire like with the Familiars that you could have in Warhammar Quest and such related games. And for the abilities, give it an attack that gives the priest a buff which improves spell power? But still, you'll loose it when you cast Shadowfiend.
it's too pvp oriented. and having pet talents pre 31 pointer is considered op.

We just found out we're expecting our second (I think I'm about 9 weeks along - haven't had our ultrasound yet). I started noticing about a month ago that our 6 month old wasn't having as many wet diapers, my breast didn't seem as full, and he's always sucking on my neck, arm, whatever is accessible though he nurses about 8 - 12 times a day. I'm wondering if my milk supply is slowing down because I'm pregnant. Is this possible/normal? And what should I do about it? I eat really, really well: about 120 oz H20 a day, lots of fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and calcium. Should I be supplementing his nursing besides the single serving of solid food before bed (we've been doing rice cereal and started green beans last week)?
Also, we were planning on nursing our first until he was a year old but if I continue nursing him will it affect the second baby eg: induce early labor from nipple stimulation, prevent colostrum from forming, or any other issues that may arise? Any guidance on either or both issues would be greatly appreciated. I love being a mama and we're thrilled that we've been blessed with number 2 so quickly. We just want to do what's best for both our babies.
Sorry so long but it's my babies and I really want to do what's in their best interest. Thanks!

You should go see your doctor.
I am 6 weeks into my 2nd cycle, Test/Deca, and I have gained 10 lbs so far. Last several days, I have noticed that I am easily out of breath, just walking a few blocks, and taking deep breath frequently. Also I can feel tightness in my shins when I walk several blocks.
Questions I have,
Will this go away soon once my body adapt to the new weight?
Should I start doing some cardio?
I have scheduled for blood test (female hormone panel and lipid panel) on Wednesday. Is there test results indicate why I am out breath easily?
Should I go see my doctor?
Thanks guys.
You should go see your doctor.
Cardio and electrolytes, lots of water.
Normally an increase in RBC which deca does should improve cardio . I do believe if RBC goes too high though it can cause the opposite. Have RBC and hematocrit checked .
Cardio water and try donating blood I would have crazy chest pain when I fid eq thought I would get a heart attack anytime
See a doc maybe blood pressure is high it happen to when am on a cycle only. Stop for now health is more important!!! But am not a doc and everyone is different.
I will donate some blood when RBC is high. Blood pressure is fine. I will drink even more water.

Wouldn't cardio make this even worse since I get easily run of breath ?

Today I got the test results. Should I be concerned with the results that are 'High'? Or this is normal while on Test/Deca cycle?
What is surprising to me is that only the following were 'High' when I got the test results while on Test Cyp cycle last year.
- Testosterone Serum
- LDL Cholesterol
- Estradiol
I would appreciated if any vets can chime in.
Usually BP, RBC, too much gains too quick, and/or bloat is what does it for me. RbC and gains in your case do not seem out of whack. Maybe BP or you are holding too much water. Test seem as expected, though I'm surprised rbc is so normal. Get your cholesterol improved. Red yeast rice, cardio, and lots of fiber

Are you running orals as well? It's not crazy high, but I see your liver enzymes are up.
dbol should have drove RBC up? weird, pharmacy usually has free bp checkers high bp can cause shortness of breathe
Aussies and Philadelphians are the only people here
I have been doing some cardio since I posted and I feel much better.
I am wondering which blood test would show whether Deca is good or bad? I know that the Test is good since the test shows Testosterone serum is over 1500
is it shortness of breathe or lethargy, because lethargy is normal on cycle
Aussies and Philadelphians are the only people here
Your labs are not all that bad . The dbol would be the culprit for elevated liver enzymes . Also dbol frequently causes lethargy and fatigue . Your blood is not too thick therefore no need to donate blood . Hematocrit , rbc and hemoglobin are all good . But your lipids are not very good . Your good cholesterol is low and your bad cholesterol is high setting you up for cardio/ heart disease . Your creatinine levels are high . This checks kidney function among other things . Drink more water , at least a gallon everyday . Clean up your diet more and avoid red meat for a while .Those steps along with more cardio should get all this back in order . I don't see anything making it imperitive to stop the cycle . Are you taking an AI ? Ai's will throw your lipids upside down but you do need some to get estrogen down to normal . Do you drink ? And also any other prescription meds ? There is no lab to check if your deca is good . You asked if you should do cardio . Everyone should do some cardio especially someone on AAS . As you can see it is already helping . Your labs are pretty typical for someone on a cycle taking test , deca and dbol . Also keep watching your BP .
I have been taking adex .5mg everyday for last 2 1/2 weeks to keep estrogen low in order to bring up libido. So is it impossible to keep both estrogen and cholesterol in check? Taking adex everyday to keep estrogen low but it causes high cholesterol so what options are there to keep both in check?
I don't drink at all and I am not taking any prescription meds. I have been taking BP everyday and it has been in normal range most of time.
I read somewhere that changing AI from adex to aromasin would lower cholesterol including LDL.
Can anyone confirm this?

Types of Artificial Insemination
If you and your partner are having a hard time getting pregnant, artificial insemination could give your body the little push it needs to create a happy, healthy new addition to your family. Many couples choose artificial insemination because the procedures are less invasive and less expensive than other fertility treatments. While the most common type of artificial insemination is intrauterine insemination (IUI), there are three other procedures that you and your partner may consider.
Intracervical Insemination
Even less invasive than IUI is a fertility treatment known as intracervical insemination (ICI). This relatively quick and simple procedure places sperm inside your cervix where they then swim into your uterus and up into your fallopian tubes on their own.
First, a sperm sample is retrieved from your partner or a donor you have chosen. Just before you ovulate, a speculum is used to open your vagina and expose your cervix. Using a catheter and a syringe, your doctor will push the sperm through and deposit it in your cervix, a process which only takes about five to ten minutes. Following the deposit, a sponge will be placed over your cervix to prevent any leakage and increase the sperms' chances of making their way to your uterus. You may remove the sponge after about six hours.
ICI is often chosen by couples who cannot afford the more commonly performed IUI (one round of ICI typically costs between $200 and $300 as opposed to between $300 and $700 for IUI). You may be a good candidate for ICI if you and your partner are having trouble conceiving on your own because your partner is unable to ejaculate during intercourse, or if you are a single woman using a sperm donor. ICI is not the best option for couples with fertility issues such as cervical mucus hostility in the woman, or poor sperm quality in the man when a donor is not wanted. Success rates associated with ICI are around 10 percent per cycle, but may increase to as high as 30 percent if two procedures are performed during one cycle and if your sperm sample is healthy and strong.
Intratubal Insemination
Intratubal insemination (ITI) is less commonly used than IUI and ICI because it is more invasive and tends to cost significantly more. The treatment itself is similar to IUI until insemination, when the sperm sample is deposited directly into one or both of your fallopian tubes. ITI is thought to give sperm a significant advantage because they do not have to swim through your cervix or your uterus. Instead, they are placed precisely where they need to be in order to reach and fertilize your egg.
The ITI procedure can be performed in two ways: intracervially and laparoscopically. Using the intracervical method, your doctor will place a plastic catheter inside your cervix and uterus, and up into your fallopian tubes. Your partner's or donor's sperm sample is then deposited in your fallopian tubes through the catheter, just as it is deposited in your uterus during IUI and your cervix during ICI.

- Abstract
- We are living during a time of rapid technological change. Emerging technologies---notably information and life science technologies---have profound social, political, psychological and ethical implications. Public perceptions of emerging technologies are potentially volatile, as demonstrated in the controversies around genetically modified foods and stem cell research. The Swinburne National Technology and Society Monitor (SNTSM) was developed by the Australian Centre for Emerging Technologies and Society (ACETS) at Swinburne University of Technology. It provides an annual 'snapshot' of public perceptions regarding new technologies in Australia. The 2004 Monitor is the second edition of the Swinburne National Technology and Society Monitor. The Monitor will provide an opportunity to understand how and why public perceptions change in relation to new technologies. [Introduction]

I had to share...
First of all - we are having our consultation with the lactation consultant on Saturday morning. I am so happy - hopefully we'll get a good latch going and that problem will be "nipped" in the bud. :D
Also - (knock on wood) - I'm not going to get too excited about this yet, but I think the yeast infection in my nipples is going away. They are looking much better over the past two days - nice & pink and little or no cracking. YAYYY!!!!! I'm still using the nystatin after each feeding though - just in case.
Lastly, we went to the pediatrician this AM for Ashelyn's 2 week appointment. They said that at 2 weeks they like to see the baby back to their birthweight (she was 7 lbs 5 oz at birth). Well, today she weighs 8 pounds!!! I was worried also about milk supply b/c with my first daughter we had problems at the end of our short nursing time (1/2 oz pumped after 20 minutes when I had gone back to work - it would take all day of pumping to get one 4 oz bottle for her). This time I have been a little worried, but the Dr says no need to be concerned since Ashelyn has gained so much weight!!
I just wanted to share - I am so happy that things seem to be getting better for us. I had wanted so badly to have a great breastfeeding experience this time around and now I am feeling positive that it might just happen!! :) :) :)

Bailey decision sensible
MORGANTOWN – Stedman Bailey's recent public announcement that he will be skipping his senior season as a football superstar at West Virginia should have surprised nobody.
The 5-foot-10, 195-pound redshirt-junior wide receiver from Miami really had very little to add to his amazing list of athletic achievements.
He already had earned All-American honors, shattered numerous school and Big 12 Conference records, and seems solidly prepared to succeed at the next level.
Bailey is expected to be a high pick in the 2013 National Football League draft.
Hopefully, he will eventually find time to earn his college degree. That's about the only thing he really lacks as he turns pro.
For his three-year career as a starter, Bailey appeared in 39 games, caught 209 passes for 3,323 yards, and scored 41 touchdowns. No WVU receiver ever tallied more than that number of scores.
Senior Tavon Austin remains WVU's all-time career leader in both pass receptions (286) and yardage (3,404) as a full four-year contributor.
Bailey, who is No. 1 in most receiving TDs in a season (25), also finished with a school record 100-yard receiving games with 14 – one more than Austin had.
A finalist for the prestigious Biletnikoff Award, Bailey ranked No. 2 nationally in scoring per game and No. 3 in receiving yards per game.
Going into WVU's 38-14 upset loss to Syracuse in the New Era Pinstripe bowl game, he also ranked in receptions per game (8.8), and No. 30 nationally in all-purpose yardage (135.8) per game.
He had a knack for getting big yards after making a catch. Bailey covered 29 and 32 yards, scoring the only WVU touchdowns in the bowl contest.
He was named to the first team All-America by CBS Sports and was a second-team All-America selection by Walter Camp Football Foundation and FoxSports.com.
Bailey made the all-Big 12 Conference first team at wide receiver. He also was honored on all-conference teams by the coaches, The Associated Press, ESPN.com, and CBSSports.com.
His 25 touchdowns this year on receptions tied Bailey for No. 2 all-time in FBS history. The record is 27 by Troy Edwards of Louisiana Tech as set in 1998.
Bailey now shares second place at 25 with Randy Moss of Marshall (1997).
Moss, a West Virginia native, has had a stellar career in the National Football League and will be competing in the playoffs with San Francisco this season after missing all of 2011, while Edwards never achieved the status envisioned when the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted him No. 1.
Bailey ranks near the top in several different situations, statistically. But Bailey will be remembered most as West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith's No. 1 receiver.
They were teammates their entire time at Miramar High School in Miami as well as his three active years at West Virginia University.

Brian Scott Drives to a 10th-Place-Finish after a Solid Day at
Phoenix International Raceway
On the heels of his sixth-place finish at Daytona International Speedway, Brian Scott and the No. 2 Whitetail Chevrolet team picked up their second-consecutive top-10 finish of the 2013 season in the 200-lap event at Phoenix International Raceway on Saturday afternoon. Scott started the Dollar General 200 from the 21st position, but worked his way through the field, moving into the top 15 by lap 14. Battling a tight handling Chevrolet, Scott searched for the best line to continue his charge toward the front of pack. In a race where track position proved to be crucial, Scott showed consistency and perseverance to bring his Whitetail Chevrolet Camaro home with a 10th-place finish. With this second-consecutive top-10 finish the Boise, Idaho native moves to third in driver championship point standings, just six markers out of first.
Start - 21 Finish - 10 Laps Led - 0 Points - 3
"We had a tough qualifying effort and were behind when we started today. The car was fast, but it was just tough to pass on the hot, slick race track. You could get up to people and making the pass was tough. I'm really proud of the guys that we were able to battle and fight for track position getting a top 10. We're excited for Vegas, we need to keep the consistency and keep learning. All-in-all not a bad day and we'll get better."
Dillon Earns a Sixth-Place Finish in No. 3 AdvoCare Chevrolet at Phoenix International Raceway
Austin Dillon drove Richard Childress Racing's No. 3 AdvoCare Chevrolet to a sixth-place finish in the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Phoenix International Raceway on Saturday afternoon. Dillon started the 200-lap affair from the sixth position but lost track position in the middle stages of the race as handling issues plagued the No. 3 team. Dillon dropped back to as far as 17th in the running order but pit strategy and adjustments helped the team gain much needed track position. Dillon was scored in the 11th position when the caution flag was displayed with 50 laps remaining in the event, prompting crew chief Danny Stockman to direct the driver down pit road. Although many teams opted to take four tires and fuel, Dillon was serviced with fuel only and positioned in the seventh spot when green flag racing resumed on lap 156. He gained one more position during the final 64 laps to secure a sixth-place finish in the No. 3 AdvoCare Chevrolet.
Start - 6 Finish - 6 Laps Led - 0 Points - 9
"This is the stuff championship teams are made of - to be able to take a bad day and turn it into a sixth-place finish. We struggled all day with handling issues and our pit stops were challenging but we all worked together as a team. The track really changed a lot throughout the race."
Harvick and the Rheem/Menards Team Earn a Disappointing 33rd-place Finish at Phoenix International Raceway Despite Promising Run
Despite showing speed in the early stages of the race, Kevin Harvick and the No. 33 Rheem/Menards Chevrolet team were relegated to a 33rd-place finish in the Dollar General 200 at Phoenix International Raceway, after a cut right-front tire sent the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series regular into the outside wall. Harvick started the 200-lap affair from the 10th position and quickly made a charge toward the front of the field. Battling a loose-handling condition, the Bakersfield, Calif., native drove down pit road on lap 40 so the Richard Childress Racing pit crew could bolt on right-side tires, add fuel and make a chassis adjustment. The speedy pit stop positioned Harvick third for the ensuing restart. Back on track, Harvick continued to battle the loose condition and fell back to sixth in the running order. As Harvick circled the track in the yellow and black machine, the right-front tire broke apart just past the halfway mark, sending the car into the outside wall. Unable to repair the damage from the on-track incident, the team's day came to an early end, forcing them to settle for a 33rd-place result.
Start - 10 Finish - 33 Laps Led - 0 Owner Points - 13
"This definitely wasn't the best weekend for the No. 33 Rheem/Menards Chevrolet team. We were loose and needed one more adjustment to get ourselves in position to post a good finish today. The crew did a good job making adjustments and we were running some strong lap times, but that tire just blew without warning and ended our day."

12x Internal BD/DVD/CD Burner. Cyberlink® software included. SATA Interface.
- Up to 12x writing speed on BD-R & BD-R DL media
- Write up to 50Gbytes on one BD-R DL disc
- Includes Cyberlink Playback, Authoring, and Burning Software
- Backward compatible with DVD and CD media.
Pioneer introduces the next generation Blu-ray optical drive, the BDR-2206. The BDR-2206 retail model includes the BDR-206UBK Internal BD/DVD/CD Writer and a full suite of Blu-ray Disc™ software for a PC.
Beginners and experts alike will find that the included software from Cyberlink makes it easy to create high-definition Blu-ray Disc videos and standard definition DVDs, watch Blu-ray Disc and DVD movies on a PC, and archive or share data on Blu-ray, DVD, or CD media.
This drive will write up to 12x1 on BD-R and BD-R DL media. One BD-R DL disc will hold the same amount of data as 10 DVDs (single layer).
The BDR-2206 also has unique features such as Quiet Drive and PureRead. Quiet Drive intelligently adjusts the disc rotation speed to reduce noise (useful while watching movies), and PureRead automatically adjusts the drive parameters to minimize sound glitches during music playback.
The BDR-2206 Internal BD/DVD/CD Writer can read and burn to Blu-ray Discs but is also backward compatible to read and write to most DVD and CD recordable media. Click on the "Specifications" tab to see all supported media formats and the write/burn speeds achievable for each format.
Drive Features
|Faster burning
First in the industry to realize 12x writing on BD-R discs, Pioneer can also now achieve 12x writing on BD-R Dual Layer (DL) discs.
|A quieter drive
With a new redesigned disc tray structure, the airflow in our drives is smoothed and operational noise reduced. Enhancements such as tunnel-like air intakes and ducts, plus a new smoother interior to the drive suppress noise and provide a quieter experience.
|A smarter drive
Pioneer drives with Auto Quiet Operation monitor how they are being used and will adjust their speed automatically – high speed for data transfer, and low speed for music or movie playback.
|An eco-friendly drive
Smaller packaging - saves resources and fuel for transportation.
|Music that doesn't skip or pop
Scratches and fingerprints on your CDs can cause them to skip. A drive normally makes an calculated guess at the unreadable data and attempts to correct this to match the original music. However this is not 100% accurate. PureRead, when enabled, makes the drive reread the questionable data to extract the original music as accurately as possible.
|Increased life excpectancy
The sound barrier design that traps noise inside the drive also works to keep dust outside the drive. This makes the newly developed drive much more dust resistant than previous models and drive failure due to dust is practically nonexistent.
|Wide blank media support
Pioneer strives to have best in class performance over a wide range of media – our drives achieve this for a large variety of BD and DVD media. Refer to the drive's media support list for all supported media and the write speed that can be achieved.
|Top quality writing
Our chassis' design maximizes disc stability and write quality by reducing warping at high speed caused by disc vibration, especially on the outer areas of the disc.

By Helena Rodriguez: Local Columnist
Many people don't make New Year's resolutions because they'll break them. But my resolutions, which I've been slow in revealing, are based on years of hard work, prayers and recent dreams I've had to reaffirm them.
Life is not a gamble, so I've made a big decision to completely stop gambling — something that started off as a wishful pastime but escalated into an addiction after I purchased my first lottery ticket in Texas about 14 years ago when my daughter Laura was a baby.
Yeah, lottery tickets have telephone numbers in fine print at the bottom for gamblers' anonymous. But I never considered myself an addict until one day, a few years ago, when I realized I spent my last dollar on a lottery ticket. My car was running on empty, my refrigerator was empty and payday was still a few days away. I promised myself that would never happen again, but it did.
I made a few unsuccessful attempts to stop buying lottery tickets, but I'd always go back. Instead of putting my faith in God and my God-given abilities, I thought that was the only way I could finance my dreams of going back to school to get a doctorate degree, of becoming a successful writer and buying a house.
But after I experienced a spiritual reawakening a few years ago and have since tried to walk closer to God, this gambling issue has weighed me down. I've known deep inside that I have to let it go regardless of a misleading dream about five years ago in which I won $10,000. The dream felt so real. I could taste the money. So I kept buying tickets several times a week, even though I knew God was trying to tell me something. After having three recent dreams that have helped shaped my resolutions, though, I had another dream one night that told me point blank it was time to stop gambling.
I dreamed that another woman and I were on a stage and it was down to us two to determine who would win $10,000. When the other lady's name was called, I was crushed. Then I woke up knowing I was never going to win with lottery.
Even more importantly, I realized I wasn't a loser because I didn't have the winning ticket. It was because I wasn't putting my faith in God.
Gambling conflicted with my beliefs, particularly after reading recent stories of how other lottery winners squandered away their winnings, making their lives a living hell, and contributing to many of their early demises. More importantly, I felt guilty when I realized I was spending more on lottery than I was giving to my church. I know some lottery money helps finance scholarships, but look at what it does to families, and I consider my case a mild addiction, spending between $20 to $30 a week.
Around the same time I had three other dreams of impact. In one, I was driving my car and it started going in reverse and I couldn't stop it until — get this — my daughter Laura helped me.
The two other dreams were inspiring.
In both dreams, I was afraid to go down a slide, but I finally went down — again with the encouragement of Laura. I just let go and enjoyed the adventurous ride of a lifetime and found it completely fulfilling.
In both dreams, I couldn't see the slide I was going down. It was like a tunnel, but I entered the slide blindly and just let go.
And in both dreams, when I got to the end of the slide, I looked up amazingly and only then could I see the steep plunges and sharp, daring curves that had twirled my body around.
The most significant part of these dreams was the statement I made as I looked back up the slide: "Wow, I'm glad I went down that slide. There's no way I would have ever gone down this slide if I had been able to see everything I was going to have to go through."
When I awoke, I kept saying "Thank you, Jesus, thank you, Jesus!" I knew it was time to let go of my insecurities, to follow my dreams — my resolutions — even if that meant feeling blinded for awhile as I allow God to guide me, knowing my resolutions will be accomplished through hard work and faith.

9-12-09 Progressive Field
Unfortunately, I missed the entire 3 game series at PNC Park vs the Cubs earlier this week. Monday it rained, so I stayed home. Tuesday, I had to coach, and wouldn't have been able to get to the game until 7. Wednesday's game was an afternoon game, and I had to work.
Not wanting to get completely shut out in Week 23, I made the two hour drive to Cleveland today.
I got there early enough so that I would be first in line.
It would be twenty minutes before anyone else showed up. While waiting, I ran into a ballhawk named Dennis from New York. He was on a 10 ballpark tour, and was familiar with other ballhawks such as Zack Hample, District Boy, and Greg Barasch. We talked up until the gates opened.
When the gates did open, I ran in to search for Easter Eggs. Usually there are a bunch, but the Indians didn't hit early, so there was nothing. After an exhaustive search, I did find ball #1 several rows back in the section closest to the Indians bullpen.
I then turned my attention the Indians batting practice.
Eventually, the bullpen coaches and a cop got the squirrel to go into the Indians bullpen, and slammed the door shut. What is it with Cleveland and animal problems (remember those seagulls that cost the Royals a game a couple months ago
I didn't stay for the game, and left, satisfied with my six snags on the day.

Sanders' panel hears VA problems, solutions
WASHINGTON The testimony of the acting Veterans Affairs secretary Wednesday bolstered the claim of Sen. Bernard Sanders, I-Vt., that the VA is underfunded.
Sloan Gibson appeared before the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, of which Sanders is chairman, to discuss the departments actions since major deficiencies were revealed in late May.
Gibson also requested $17.6 billion in additional money over the next three years to hire 10,000 additional VA employees, including 1,500 doctors, and to build eight new facilities and lease 77 additional buildings.
The trust of the veterans we serve and the trust of the American people and their representatives has eroded, Gibson said. We will have to earn that trust back through deliberate and decisive action.
Sanders, author of the Senate VA improvement bill, said Gibsons testimony on funding could assist in conference negotiations on the Senate and House versions of the bill.
I think it will make a point that some of us have been making for a while, he said.
Gibson listed six major issues at the VA, including long wait times for veterans, scheduling improprieties, and a number of deeply ingrained cultural issues in the department that discourage oversight.
We have serious problems, Gibson said.
He described a number of changes he has instituted since taking the helm of the department after Eric Shinseki resigned in late May.
The changes in the VA are aimed at expanding access to care, including boosting the number of mobile medical units and extending hours at VA care facilities.
Gibson also announced a patient satisfaction measurement program, suspension of service awards within the VA, and removal of the 14-day scheduling goal in order to mitigate any incentives to falsify data.
The hearing Wednesday occurred in the midst of tense conference negotiations between House and Senate leaders over their respective bills to fix the VA.
The billsboth of which were passed in early June with broad partisan support include many similar provisions, including expanding VA authority to refer veterans to private care facilities should they live more than 40 miles from a VA hospital or if they are experiencing long delays.
Legislation out of both chambers also allows the VA secretary to fire or demote employees based on poor performance and both bills call for an independent audit of the VA.
Sanders bill differs from its House counterpart by allocating funds for constructing medical facilities and bringing in more doctors and nurses.
Sanders said he expects a bill will go to the presidents desk before the August recess.
Senate Republicans on Wednesday questioned Gibson on the quality of care at the VA, and suggested that veterans could access better care in the private sector.
I just think you guys need competition, and I feel very, very strongly about that, said Sen. Mike Johanns, R-Neb. And if you cant clean up your act, then guess what: You lose out.
He added, I dont think you need more billions and billions of dollars.
Democrats defended the funding provisions as necessary for a department that has been overwhelmed by 1.4 million new patients, including many troops from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Sanders also said the VA needed more resources to combat the mental wounds from war, like post-traumatic stress disorder.
While its important we put out the current fire, unless we effectively deal with the long-term capacity issues facing the VA we are going to be back here year after year, Sanders said.

Car rolls over on Groves Ave.
A single vehicle accident shut down the top half of the hill that comprises Groves Avenue for approximately an hour Wednesday afternoon.
The driver of a beige Mazda 626 LX was trapped in her vehicle after landing upside down near the top of the hill, said Capt. Jack Hansis of the Marietta Fire Department.
The driver, Elizabeth Beittel, 56, of Marietta, was the only one in the vehicle. She was removed from the car by emergency responders from the Marietta Fire Department, said Hansis.
"We pried the door open and brought her out on a backboard," said Hansis.
The driver was not ambulatory, but was conscious and responsive, said Hansis.
She was transported to Marietta Memorial Hospital, where she was treated and released Wednesday evening, said a nursing supervisor.
The vehicle was upside down with the front of the vehicle facing uphill. Skid marks farther up on the hill led off the right side of the road and pointed toward the embankment, indicating the vehicle had both flipped and rolled, said Hansis.
However, there were no witnesses, so the nature of the accident is not yet certain.
Police also investigated a one-vehicle crash late Wednesday along Indian Run Road. A vehicle went off the road and into a creek, according to reports from the scene. Both occupants were reported alert and taken to MMH.

The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited Halekulani Corp., owner and operator of Halekulani Hotel in Waikiki Beach, with 14 serious safety violations following a routine inspection.
"The hotel industry is one of the biggest employers in Hawaii, and it's critical that owners and operators have strong safety and health programs," said Galen Lemke, director of OSHA's Honolulu Area Office. "Halekulani has an obligation to protect its staff and ensure a safe working environment."
The 14 serious violations involve personal protective equipment use and availability, fire extinguisher maintenance and inspection and a lack of electrical safe work practices by maintenance workers, such as the provision of appropriate equipment for electrical work.
OSHA also found that the hotel had failed to provide training in hazardous waste operations and emergency response standards. A serious violation occurs when there is substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard about which the employer knew or should have known.
The three other-than-serious violations involve a lack of labeling and access to electrical panels and labels on gas cylinders. An other-than-serious violation is one that has a direct relationship to job safety and health, but probably would not cause death or serious physical harm.
OSHA began its investigation Jan. 16 during a regularly scheduled inspection under a local emphasis program for hotels. The full service, five-star hotel employs more than 800 people who service more than 450 rooms.
Facing $49,000 in total proposed penalties, Halekulani has 15 business days from receipt of its citations and proposed penalties to comply, meet with OSHA's area director or contest the findings to the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
Halekulani said it received a written notification on April 26 of the results of the inspection. The hotel says all of the issues brought up at the January inspection were immediately addressed for rectification. Halekulani is working to clarify and address any other citations noted in the subsequent April notification.
"There is nothing of greater importance, nor that we take more seriously, than the safety and well-being of our guests and our staff, which will always be our unconditional priority," said Peter Shaindlin, chief operating officer of Halekulani Corporation.
To ask questions, obtain compliance assistance, file a complaint, or report workplace hospitalizations, fatalities or situations posing imminent danger to workers, the public should call OSHA's toll-free hotline at 800-321-OSHA (6742) or the agency's Honolulu office at 808-541-2680.
Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers are responsible for providing safe and healthful workplaces for their employees. OSHA's role is to ensure these conditions for America's working men and women by setting and enforcing standards, and providing training, education and assistance.

Remembering Vets
Dear Editor,
Every Soldier, Marine. Sailor, Airman, Coast Guardsman are instructed to take and obey orders from their superiors, and especially their Commander-in-Chief.
Personally, I received an order from President Eisenhower and spent 2 years in the Army. One year later I received an order from President Kennedy and spent another year in the Army, because it was my duty. However, I would find it very difficult today if I received an order from our sitting President after his actions, failed policies, bowing to world leaders who hate the USA ,apologizing for our position in the World and interpreting the Constitution to suit himself and his cronies.
God help us through the next 4 years.
Another Veterans Day has come and gone. Did you thank a veteran?
While we are thanking our troops returning ( finally), lets not forget the rest of the vets who served long ago. WW 2 and Korean and Vietnam veterans are passing away at a rate of between 1200-2000 per day in our Country. Have you talked to a veteran about his time served? It has been said that they wish not to talk about that time. To get them started ask them "What was the worst meal you ever had"?,
"What was the best meal you ever had"?, "What is it like to live with 45 other guys in a barracks"?
Ask the simple questions, they will open up and then you probably can't get them to stop. Do it today, not tomorrow, because tomorrow may be too late.
James B. Piatt
Army Veteran
Past 11th District Commander

Werth-y Of Your Vote!
Well, did I call this one, or what?! In my April 30th Blog I called for Phillies fans to write in Jason Werth on the All-Star ballot, pointing to his clutch performances all year for this team dating all the way back to the latter half of last season. You may also recall my adorable photo / voting campaign for him:
So then last night, Mr.Werth turns in the most impressive display of the year with 3 home runs and 8 RBI's, falling only one 2-run homer short of the elusive home run cycle. WOW. This puts Werth in a Phillies five way tie for the most RBI's in a game along with Kitty Bransfield, Gavvy Cravath, Willie "Puddin' Head" Jones and of course, Mike Schmidt.
So, now the question remains, who will start tonight against the right handed AJ Burnett? You know how Charlie Manual loves to play the right handed – left handed game. But I really think Werth has earned the starting spot at this point. If it were me, I'd start Jayson in center, sit Victorino and give Jenkins the start in right…he's been sitting long enough and Shane has struggled a bit lately. And this will really give Manual an idea about whether Jayson really is an everyday player. Can he hit both righties and lefties? I think he can. Give him a shot…he's more than earned it!
Check out my new links off to the right…I have added a link to my You Tube Phillies Baseball 101 page which has some really FUN video! You can see Jen Utley talk about her relationship with Chase, watch her reveal that he never graduated college (although she says he's still smart…hee! :o) and what she "thinks" his major was…she can't quite remember. FUNNY stuff! Also hear Phillies coaches give lessons on hitting and pitching; hear all about how the team travels to away games and much more really intriguing behind the scenes access! Hope you enjoy it…I know I did! Go Phillies!
1 Comment
Jayson Werth – so excited for his awesome playing! I have his autograph on a Phils jersey that my brothers had made up for me for my bday – because I've been a fan for a LONG time!! Spring training – St. Patty's Day – I got his autograph!! I hope the Phillies keep him for a long time, because it's only going to get better!!
Go Jayson! Go Phils!!!
