I lost my old phone and was thinking about upgrading since I'm ellegable. The trouble is if I do that they are going to add a 10$ fee per phone to my monthly bill. So my question is if I buy a phone on ebay or something similar will they try to charge me more once I try to activate it?
It don't depends on whether you buy phone from eBay or an upgrade, all it depends on the phone model that you have; Certain devices requires $10 premium data charge.Non- smartphones don't require $10 plans.
Well I had a Android Phone before that was not 4G. If I bought another Android that wasn't 4G would I be charged?
What was your previous device model? If you can tell me what device model you're buying, I would be happy to check if you've to pay $10 premium charge or not.
I had a Samsung Intercept. I'm not sure what phone I am getting now. I want something android with a dual core processor. I was thinking about the Motorola Photon but that has the charge. I was also thinking about a Galaxy II. Is it the 4G phones that have the extra charge? If you can tell me what constitues the additional charge I can then work around it. Does it make a difference if I buy it on my own without sprint?
Plus any smartphone devices? Doesn't that mean any android phone? My intercept is a smart phone and I am not charged. If I buy another 3G android phone outside of your list will I be charged?
The list I provided was a general list. Let us know when you're planning to buy the device and we'll let you know if that device requires $10 premium charge or not.
This phone? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Google-Nexus-S-SPH-D720-16GB-Black-Sprint-Smartphone-/121012413939?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item1c2ce6e5f3
What qualifies the phone for the charge? Is the the 4G, Duel core processor? How does sprint decide if the phone is to be charged or not? You seem to be able to tell if phones will be charged or not so why not pass along that info and make it easy on me?
Phone that you mentioned above is stated as Nexus S™ 4G from Google and there will be $10.00 premium charge. For more info on device pricing and plans. Please contact Care 8882114727.
No it isn't, its not 4G. Are you even listening to me? You must wrok for sprint seeing as how you avoid all my questions. This is ******* stupid.
If I buy another intercept will I be charged?

What makes this confusing is that the Nexus S is not 4g, however the SPH-D720 in the description is incorrect because if you google the Samsung Nexus S SPH-D720 it says it's a 4G phone.
As seen in this description:
Samsung SPH-D720 was released in 5 / 2011
Yes! You are grandfathered in without the fee as you activated it before the change was made. All smartphones Sprint sells or has ever sold now requires the fee if activated after January 30, 2011

'Before I Die' wall installed at Sky High
Death has a way of clarifying life, or so say great philosophers and New Orleans artist Candy Chang. It has a way of making us examine the kind of person we want to be, the life we want to live, the people who are important to us.
On Tuesday, people in the Bay View neighborhood were confronted by the finiteness of their lives as a result of one of Chang's projects. A wall that reads "Before I die I want to..." and has little buckets of colored chalk so people can fill in the blanks was installed at the Sky High Skateboard Shop and Gallery, 2501 S. Howell Ave., and in cities across the U.S. on Tuesday. »Read Full Blog Post(2)

In the thick, tangled-vined web of the Lush jungle lurks a wild male beast, but deep in his heart there lies a gentle and tamed spirit that leads him to adore and respect the female species like no other; regardless of their age, appearance, race, or sexual proclivities and leanings. Who is he to judge another when he too resides here? For in this jungle are many wonderful anonymous souls, both male and female, who come here for sundry reasons, whether it be to practice the art of erotic writing, enjoy the written tales of truth and sexual fantasy, or find online friends, lovers and even mates that may last a lifetime. Who among us can argue with the beauty and healing of what a visit here can bring to any one of us who reside in this Lush jungle, whatever the reason (except those who come with ill intentions, uncommon rudeness, and despicable behavior)? It is here this male beast finds friendship, acceptance and solace. Happy in that knowledge, I thank all who have befriended him and made him feel welcome.Thanks to my dear Lush friend, Little Bambi, for the wonderful artistic creation of my new Avatar that so wonderfully represents my profile. Little b is gorgeous outside, but even more beautiful inside. And finally, I would be remiss if I did not mention the fact I have been so blessed to have met a kindred spirit here named Xelmajin, who in less than two short months proved to be the most innocent, kind, caring, and loving human being I believe I have ever been privileged to meet in my lifetime. We have pledged a lifelong friendship and allegiance to each other, and while half a world may separate us in distance; fate, time and God's will is bound to allow us to meet one day.

Introduction: Behavioral interventions in female sex workers (FSWs) are associated with changes in sexual behavior and reduced rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV. We examined the sustainability of such interventions.
Methods: HIV-uninfected Kenyan FSWs were enrolled in a clinical trial that provided free male condoms, community and clinic-based counseling, and STI management. After trial completion, scaled-back community-based resources remained in place. More than a year later, women were invited to complete a follow-up behavioral questionnaire and to undergo STI/HIV counseling and testing. Individual changes in sexual behavior were assessed by paired analysis.
Results: One hundred seventy-two women participated in the resurvey 1.2 years after trial termination. Client numbers had risen (paired t test, P < 0.001), but condom use had also increased (P < 0.001); both remained substantially lower than at enrollment. Regular partners accounted for a greater proportion of unprotected FSW sexual encounters (35% vs. 10%; P < 0.001). Only 9 (5.2%) of 172 women had a conventional STI, and the follow-up HIV incidence of 1.6 per 100 person-years (PYs) was similar to that during the trial period (3.7 per 100 PYs). Incident STIs and HIV were associated with the frequency of unprotected sex and younger age.
Conclusions: Less intensive community-based risk reduction services after clinical trial termination may support ongoing reductions in STIs and HIV among high-risk FSWs.
Female sex workers (FSWs) are at an extremely high risk of acquiring HIV-1 (HIV) in those regions of the world that have been most affected by the pandemic.1,2 This vulnerable group may amplify HIV transmission to the general population, such that interventions targeted at FSWs are among the most cost-effective public health strategies available to curb HIV transmission.3,4 Successful prevention strategies have included peer education and counseling to reduce high-risk sexual behavior by reducing client numbers and increasing use of male condoms, enhanced sexually transmitted infection (STI) management programs, and HIV counseling and testing.5-14 In some settings, such as the Sonagachi model of a sustainable community-level HIV intervention in FSWs15 and the Thailand 100% condom use program,16,17 such strategies can lead to sustained changes in sexual behavior.13,18,19 Studies in Cameroon demonstrated poor sustainability of changes in sexual behavior after a short-term intervention, however, with few women maintaining consistent condom use for more than 1 year after participation in a randomized trial of STI prevention.20
From 1998 to 2002, we performed a randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial of monthly antibiotic prophylaxis to prevent STIs and HIV in high-risk Kenyan FSWs from the Kibera district in Nairobi.21 All participants in this trial were provided with peer- and clinic-based risk reduction counseling, with regular screening and treatment for symptomatic and asymptomatic STIs and with HIV counseling and testing. Enrollment was associated with rapid changes in sexual behavior, including increased condom use and reduced client numbers, and each of these factors was associated with reduced rates of classic STIs and HIV.9 Changes in sexual behavior were well sustained during the trial, although condom use declined over time in the subgroup of bar-based sex workers.22 To examine the sustainability of these changes after trial termination, we invited former participants to complete a resurvey questionnaire, to be tested for common STIs, and to undergo HIV counseling and testing.
From May 1998 to January 2002, HIV-seronegative FSWs from the Kibera district in Nairobi were enrolled in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study of monthly administered azithromycin to prevent STIs and HIV.21 An FSW was defined as a woman who reported receiving money or gifts in exchange for sex during the month before initial screening, and participants were recruited through a pre-established FSW peer education network. All participants were provided with a variety of clinic-based HIV prevention services that included free male condoms, prompt treatment of symptomatic STIs, twice-yearly screening and treatment of asymptomatic STIs, and sexual risk reduction counseling. At enrollment, all women were provided with 2 clinic-based hour-long risk reduction counseling sessions. After enrollment, clinic-based counseling was provided at each monthly visit, based on the perceived needs and self-reported sexual behavior of participants. During the trial, HIV counseling and testing were performed every 3 months.
Sex worker community meetings were organized quarterly in each of the 10 villages comprising the Kibera slum. Each was led by an FSW peer leader from that village, with the support of at least 1 member of the research team. Discussion in these meetings was focused on risk reduction, particularly on the negotiation of consistent condom use with casual and regular clients. In addition, a wider meeting of sex workers from all Kibera villages was held every 6 months at a local hall to address risk reduction issues pertaining to the sex worker community.
The randomized trial ended in January 2002. No clinic-based counseling was provided after trial termination, and routine STD screening ended. Although the clinic could be still be used to access medical care for symptomatic conditions, these services were rarely used. Quarterly peer-led sex worker community meetings in all Kibera villages continued up to 2006, however, and a local project (the Urban Slum Project) started to distribute male and female condoms free of charge throughout bars, hotels and other sex work hotspots.
Just longer than 1 year after trial termination, the participants still resident in the Kibera slum were invited to participate in the cohort resurvey by completing a behavioral questionnaire and undergoing HIV/STI counseling and testing. Former study participants were invited to take part in the resurvey at a village level, through the ongoing peer-led sex worker community meetings, and those interested returned to the clinic, where the study was described by the research team in their language, an information form was provided, and participants provided signed informed consent. The study protocol was reviewed and approved by Institutional Review Boards at Kenyatta National Hospital, Nairobi, Kenya; the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada; the University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, California; the University of Washington, Seattle, Washington; and the University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
During the clinical trial, all FSWs underwent a complete physical examination and STI testing and treatment at enrollment, every 6 months thereafter, and whenever clinically indicated. Cervical swabs were obtained for Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays (Amplicor PCR Diagnostics; Roche Diagnostic Systems, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada) and for N. gonorrhoeae culture. Trichomonas vaginalis cultures were analyzed using In Pouch TV (Biomed Diagnostics, San Jose, CA). Blood samples were obtained for HIV and syphilis serology at enrollment and every 3 months during the trial. The rapid plasma reagin test (RPR test; Becton Dickinson, Groot-Bijgaarden, Belgium) was performed for syphilis serology, and positive samples were confirmed by Treponema pallidum hemagglutination assay (TPHA; Randox Laboratories, Antrim, United Kingdom). An HIV screening enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed using the Detect-HIV kit (BioChem ImmunoSystems, Montreal, Quebec, Canada), and positive tests were confirmed with the Recombigen HIV-1/HIV-2 enzyme immunoassay (EIA; Cambridge Biotech Corporation, Galway, Ireland). Monthly first-void urine samples were collected and tested for N. gonorrhoeae and C. trachomatis by PCR assay (Amplicor PCR Diagnostics, Roche Diagnostics, Laval, Quebec, Canada). At the posttrial resurvey, first-void urine samples were tested for N. gonorrhoeae and C. trachomatis by means of PCR, T. vaginalis was cultured from vaginal swabs using In Pouch TV, and HIV and syphilis serology was performed. Any infections were treated according to Kenyan national treatment guidelines.
Antiretroviral programs for HIV therapy had not been scaled up in the region at the time of the original trial or of this resurvey but began to be rolled out in Nairobi in 2004. All sex workers attending peer-led sex worker community meetings in Kibera villages were informed of these programs. Women who had tested HIV-positive at any time, whether or not they were enrolled in our trial or resurvey, were referred to these programs through the sex worker clinic. No active tracing of HIV-infected participants was undertaken.
For all statistical analyses comparing factors at baseline (enrollment) and follow-up time points, baseline data were only included for the subset of FSWs who participated in the posttrial resurvey. Self-reported condom use, weekly number of reported clients, and hormonal contraceptive use over the past month were all recorded in the baseline, follow-up, and resurvey periods. Casual clients were defined as single-time only customers; regular partners were self-identified by FSWs as longer term intimate partners (often a "boyfriend" or husband). Information regarding the charge for sex and specific high-risk sex acts (eg, anal sex, sex during menses) was only collected at enrollment and at the time of resurvey. Condom use was reported on a semiquantitative scale (0 = never [0%], 1 = rarely [1% to 24%], 2 = sometimes [25% to 49%], 3 = often [50% to 74%], 4 = almost always [75% to 99%], and 5 = always [(100%]). Changes in continuous variables over time were evaluated within an individual using the Wilcoxon signed rank test. Groups were compared using the Wilcoxon signed rank test (for continuous variables) or the χ2 test (for dichotomous variables) in SPSS version 10.0 for windows (SPSS, Chicago, IL). Only women who were active in sex work with at least 1 weekly client were included in the analyses of sexual behavior.
All resurveyed FSWs had completed the baseline enrollment questionnaire, had been followed for varying intervals of time through the randomized trial, and had completed the resurvey questionnaire. One hundred seventy-two FSWs were resurveyed after the trial was terminated, of whom 144 (84%) currently exchanged sex for money. Their mean age at resurvey was 33.5 years (±8.8 years), and the mean time elapsed from the last clinical trial visit to resurvey was 1.2 years (range: 1.0 to 5.3 years). One participant was married, and the rest were divorced/separated/widowed (58%) or never married (41%). The mean reported prior duration of sex work was 10.5 years (±6.7 years). To assess how representative these 172 FSW participants were of the original clinical trial cohort, baseline demographics, sexual behavior, and STI prevalence data at original trial enrollment were compared between those who were subsequently resurveyed (n = 172) or were not (n = 294). Those taking part in the resurvey had been older at trial enrollment (30.0 vs. 27.8 years; P = 0.002), perhaps reflecting decreased mobility with increasing age. There were no significant differences in charge for sex or baseline sexual behavior, however, as defined by condom use with casual or regular clients, number of casual or regular clients, or the proportion reporting anal sex or sex during menses (Table 1); neither were there any differences in the prevalence of infection by N. gonorrhoeae, C. trachomatis, or T. vaginalis (Table 2).
At resurvey, the mean charge for sex had increased significantly from trial enrollment (201 vs. 131 Kenyan shillings [Ksh] (75 Ksh = 1 US dollar); P < 0.001). As previously reported,9 the average reported number of casual clients per week fell dramatically during the trial from 16.2 at enrollment to 2.8 at the last study visit (paired samples t test, P < 0.001). This number had increased significantly by the time of resurvey (from 2.8 to 6.1; P < 0.001; Fig. 1), although casual client numbers remained much lower at resurvey than they had been at the original trial enrollment (6.1 vs. 16.2; P < 0.001). Condom use with casual clients had also increased during the clinical trial9 (from 2.6/5 to 3.7/5 on our semiquantitative scale; P < 0.001). Rather than declining after trial termination, however, condom use had actually continued to increase (from 3.7/5 to 4.3/5; P < 0.001; see Fig. 1).
Overall, client numbers increased after trial termination, and condom use also increased. We calculated the number of annual unprotected sexual encounters with casual clients for each FSW, based on self-reported client numbers and condom use. Unprotected casual client encounters fell more than 15-fold between enrollment in the original clinical trial and the last trial visit (from 393.2 to 23.6 per year; P < 0.001). Between trial termination and the posttrial resurvey, there was an increase in the number of unprotected casual encounters that just reached statistical significance (from 23.3 to 35.6 per year; P = 0.05).
Sexual behavior by FSWs with their regular partners (boyfriends) is more refractory to change than with casual clients, because negotiating condom use is difficult in the context of an intimate relationship; nonetheless, sex with regular partners may lead to HIV exposure and infection.23,24 In the clinical trial, data regarding sexual behavior with regular partners were collected at enrollment, and these were compared with self-reported data at resurvey. Among the 144 women who had remained active in sex work, 68 (47%) of 144 had reported a regular client at enrollment, whereas 107 (74%) of 144 did so at resurvey. The mean number of regular clients had increased from 0.9 at enrollment (range: 1 to 5 clients) to 1.3 (range: 1 to 5 clients) (P < 0.001). Self-reported condom use with regular clients had increased substantially over this period (from 1.1/5 to 3.5/5 on our semiquantitative scale; P < 0.001). Condom use with regular clients was consistently lower than with casual clients, however, at enrollment (1.1/5 with regular clients vs. 3.2/5 with casual clients; P < 0.001) and at resurvey (3.5/5 with regular clients vs. 4.3/5 with casual clients; P < 0.001). Assuming 1 sexual encounter per week with regular clients, we calculated the number of annual unprotected encounters with a regular client. There was a trend toward reduced unprotected regular client encounters over time, although this was not statistically significant (25.5 per year at trial enrollment vs. 19.2 per year at resurvey; P = 0.1). The proportion of all unprotected sexual encounters that were with a regular client, as opposed to a casual client, increased over the same time frame (from 10.3% at enrollment to 34.6% at resurvey; P < 0.001), however.
As previously reported in the larger cohort,22 initial increases in condom use were similar for all FSWs but were less well sustained in club-based and bar-based sex workers than in those working from their own home. At resurvey, the greatest increase in client numbers was seen in bar-based sex workers (home-based sex workers, increase of 2.2 clients since trial termination; club-based sex workers, increase of 3.8 clients since trial termination; bar-based sex workers, increase of 5.2 clients since trial termination; P = 0.001; Fig. 2A). Self-reported condom use did not differ between bar-based sex workers and those based elsewhere (see Fig. 2B), however.
Prevalent classic STIs and newly acquired HIV were uncommon at resurvey. During the original clinical trial, 17 (9.9%) of 172 women had acquired HIV during a mean of 2.7 years of follow-up, for an HIV incidence of 3.7 per 100 person-years (PYs). There were 3 new HIV cases at resurvey among 155 women (two thirds in women currently active in sex work), for an HIV incidence of 1.6/100 PYs. These rates were not significantly different (P = 0.3, 2-sample comparison of Poisson rates; Table 3), and the trend to reduced HIV incidence may reflect concurrent reductions in national adult HIV prevalence.25 At resurvey, there were only 6 prevalent cases of N. gonorrhoeae, 3 of C. trachomatis, and no cases of T. vaginalis. STI incidence could not be compared between periods because of differences in sampling frequency. Again, however, restricting analysis to resurveyed FSWs, STI prevalence at resurvey was consistently lower than at original trial enrollment (see Table 3; 2.4% vs. 7.5% for Chlamydia, P = 0.03; 4.2% vs. 8.1% for gonorrhea, P = 0.1; and 0% vs. 14.2% for trichomoniasis, P < 0.001, Wilcoxon signed rank test).
During resurvey, FSWs with a prevalent STI or newly acquired HIV infection reported a higher number of unprotected sexual exposures to casual clients over the past year (83.2 vs. 37.4; P = 0.009). In addition, they were younger (27.3 vs. 33.5 years of age; P = 0.009) and had been engaged in sex work for a shorter time (6.6 vs. 10.4 years; P = 0.02). The number of unprotected sexual encounters with regular clients was not associated with new STI/HIV infection (25.7 vs. 24.8 unprotected encounters per year; P = 0.9).
Risk reduction interventions in FSW groups have been associated with profound changes in sexual behavior,9,19 and modeling suggests that FSW-targeted interventions are the most cost-effective way to prevent HIV sexual transmission.3 After the FSW clinical trial in Cameroon, however, only a few women sustained consistent condom use for more than 1 year.20 Within a similar time frame, our data suggest that if low level community services can be maintained (in this case, provision of free condoms at bars through an independent initiative and quarterly peer-led community meetings at the village level), changes in sexual behavior may be maintained without intensive clinic-based counseling and STI management. Further follow-up is required to see how long these changes can be sustained. Although client numbers increased after trial termination, condom use also increased, such that the frequency of unprotected sexual exposures to casual clients was unchanged and rates of HIV and classic STIs were low.
We only examined changes in sexual behavior on an individual level. All FSWs seen at resurvey had also been enrolled and followed for several years in the preceding clinical trial. Therefore, changes in sexual behavior (or a lack thereof) may also relate to changing life circumstances as women mature. At the level of the entire sex worker community, more intensive behavioral interventions may still be necessary to have an impact on younger sex workers, who may be new to sex work in the community, and to change sexual behavior in this higher risk group.26 This concept was supported in our cohort by the observation that younger FSWs were at a greater risk for STI/HIV acquisition.
At resurvey, a greater proportion of sex work focused on regular clients, who accounted for a much greater proportion of unprotected sex acts. Despite increased casual client numbers after trial termination, HIV and STI rates remained low, perhaps because of consistent condom use. Sexual behavior with regular clients was more refractory to change, perhaps because of the more intimate nature of these relationships. Despite the substantial increases in the proportion of unprotected sex attributable to regular client encounters, it was only unprotected sex with casual clients that was associated with HIV/STI rates. Although regular clients are believed to represent an important bridging population for HIV and other STIs between sex workers and the general population, this may be critically dependent on the number of partners with whom the sex workers have concurrent sexual relationships.27 Because we did not collect behavioral or biologic data from male clients in this study, we are not able to explore why unprotected sex with regular partners seemed to be a less import risk factor for STI/HIV acquisition than with casual clients.
We cannot demonstrate whether the behavioral changes that we observed over time represented a natural evolution of sex work practices as women age or reflected changes in FSW practice at a community/population level induced by our intervention. The sex worker peer interventions aim to empower FSWs to change their sexual behavior; to provide a forum to exchange ideas on how to negotiate consistent condom use with clients; and to develop strategies to reduce risk with regular clients, who often provide less conventional support, such as school fees, rent, or groceries. By mobilizing an entire FSW community, peer interventions also aim to empower FSWs at a community level to charge more money for sex,13 as was seen over time in our study, which may enable women to reduce client numbers. We cannot demonstrate whether the FSW behavioral changes that we observed were limited to FSW individuals enrolled and followed through our study or were occurring at a larger community level, however.
The self-reported data collected regarding condom use relied on a relatively crude semiquantitative scale. This may be less reliable than other methods, such as the cumulative reporting of condom use at last act,28,29 although the latter methods are also far from perfect,30 but it allowed us to assess temporal changes in condom use with clients, because this was the method used in our original clinical trial. Although various biases might affect the validity of self-reported, semiquantitative condom use data, it is reassuring that the same scale in this cohort previously correlated with the rate of acquisition of HIV and STIs in a stepwise fashion.9,21
Although our risk reduction intervention provided a framework for sustained changes in sexual behavior, it falls short of the best practices suggested by the Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS).31 The latter suggests incorporating a situation analysis and mapping exercise for design and subsequent monitoring and evaluation of programs; coordination of responses and resources, including a national planning exercise and prioritization of interventions; identification and inclusion of a range of project partners, including sex workers, communities, private enterprises, and sectors other than health; and taking a longer term and broader perspective on ways to decrease vulnerability of sex workers by addressing the conditions (including economic and gender issues) surrounding sex work. It is perhaps reassuring to see that programs such as ours, with fewer resources than would be required for such an intervention, may still be associated with significant and sustained changes in sexual behavior, however.
Overall, our study suggests that the provision of less intensive community-based risk reduction services after clinical trial termination can lead to sustained changes in sexual behavior, with reduced STI and HIV rates among FSWs. Although reductions in client numbers were less well sustained, condom use with casual clients actually increased, and unprotected sex with the latter group was most highly associated with STI/HIV acquisition.

SLC Dispatcher Ticketed
A man listed as a Saint Lawrence County dispatcher was ticketed for driving his car after his license had been suspended because of the DWI.
According to a press release put out by a Saint Lawrence County Sheriff's department, Michael Leclair was stopped by deputies leaving the 911 complex on May 18.
Leclair was issued a ticket for the misdemeanor of Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of a Motor Vehicle in the second degree.
Deputies had received a tip that Leclair was continually driving with a suspended license. Deputies waited for Leclair to leave the 911 complex on May 18, and stopped him at 11:00 pm.
When 7News called the Saint Lawrence County dispatch, the dispatcher would not tell us whether Leclair worked there. The county's website lists a Michael Leclair as dispatcher number 17.
Here is a link to the county's staff list:

There's a New Moon, solar eclipse coming up on November 13th (at 21 degrees Scorpio). The energy will be intense. Because….well, because it's Scorpio.
What do you do with a New Moon eclipse? You set your intentions. It's a time of super-charged new beginnings, so what you start has an added push behind it. Keeping in mind that we're dealing with Scorpio energy, you'll want to make sure that what you start is something you really want. No hesitation. This one is all in, or forget about it. Think of it as being perched on the edge of a pool that has no bottom. Are you ready to plunge in and keep on going?
The house in your chart with Scorpio in it is where you'll be setting this intention. Or where you may be hit with a new development, without any conscious effort on your part. Either way, it'll be revealing. Think about that for a second; Scorpio is about what lies beneath. True motivations, raw intimacy, fearless commitments. Don't start what you can't finish.
Are you in?

Precious Metals Cleaning
By Gourmet Cook
from Knoxville, TN
This product works great. Another larger sized aluminum plate should be available for large sterling silver items, ie silver service sets and trays. If one lets the silver item in its water solution too long, its season patina is removed. One has to be careful and quick when using the solution.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This product is to clean silver. You have made my life so much easier with cleaning my silver. My house flooded in a bazaar waterpipe breakage in the bathroom which kept my silver in dampness for a while while we were working. My silver had black spots which I could not clean. Now my silver is lovely again.

I am using it for antique silverware that hasn't been cleaned for a very long time. Was given to me by my in-laws & they hadn't used the silverware for a very long time. I wish it worked like it says it does. Leave in for 30 seconds. That did nothing for it so I had to leave it in there for way longer (like 15 mins) before it really worked.
This product is a savior
By Zooziepisces
from Huntington Beach, CA
Used this product on a precious 1928 tennis trophy that was tarnished beyond using silver polish or any amount of elbow grease. First time, it removed quite a bit of tarnish, and will continue to use product until most of the tarnish is removed.

Skip to comments.THUG-O-CRAT hit list [vanity: shocking links and headlines -- please help]
Posted on 03/05/2010 3:38:38 AM PST by Arthur Wildfire! March
New Black Panthers, Bill Ayers, Rangel, Stark -- you name it -- including the "president". When Obama isn't palling around with terrorists, he's giving them Miranda rights or seeking Rezko deals. His entire thug-o-crat party has been getting more brazen than ever, and it's starting to catch up with them.

DC Tea Party protestors may have been "set up" last Sunday
My husband (FReeper zelig) and I put the e-mail below together and sent it out late last night to Rush, Hannity, O'Reilly, and our local conservative talk radio host Jim Vicevich. I realize our words dont prove anything, but it gives food for thought, IMO.
No real response yet, although Jim Vicevich spoke about this briefly this morning. (RaceBannon: Jim said you warned him about this type of thing for years!)
Here's the e-mail (with a few explanations in parenthesis):
Rahm Emanuel said in a recent interview with Katie Couric that come July and August the Tea Party may expect a "surprise". Perhaps Emanuel got a head start on his "surprise" on Saturday, March 20 in Washington DC?
Also, David Axelrod recently said "a day of reckoning is coming soon for the Tea Party".
Emanuel was one of the first to scream about the alleged "racial slur/spitting incident" on Saturday by Tea Partiers. (Although no video proving this incident actually took place has surfaced so far). Add the fact that there were other protests and groups in Washington this weekend: ANSWER, SEIU, other unions that organized the huge immigration rally on Sunday, and pro-healthcare reform activists. I suspect Organizing for America and MoveOn.org was there as well.
Capitol police told my husband that they had spotted a few "professional agitators" in the Tea Party crowd who were known to infiltrate and incite at various protests. We can't help but wonder if maybe the alleged racial slurs and other alleged despicable acts were manufactured and/or orchestrated. The speed at which this claimed occurrence made its way to into the Congressional record via Diane Watson (D-CA). and John Garamendi (D-CA) a few hours later on Saturday night also raises suspicion. (My husband and I saw the discussion between Watson and Garamendi live on C-SPAN on Saturday night, where Garamendi apologized to his House colleagues for the Tea Partiers' "brutish" behavior - unreal.)
We participated in all of the Tea Party rallies in Washington DC this past weekend (Saturday at noon, Saturday night and all day Sunday). There were many families involved and people were passionate about the impending government takeover of our healthcare system. We heard no profanity of any kind, and certainly heard no racial slurs. These people are from the heart of America and recited the Lords Prayer on the steps of the Capitol on Saturday night.
What we did notice is that most Tea Partiers are novices at this protesting thing, and are not familiar with the tactics of infiltration. The Tea Party organizations are relatively leaderless and ill-suited to identify and respond to Chicago-style and union thug instigation techniques.
This could be like the lamb being led to the slaughter, to be continued on Thursday in Iowa. (There are tea parties planned to "greet" Obama when he starts his HC reform "victory tour" in Iowa on Thursday)
Tea Partiers had better take heed, and the media need to be forewarned and not rush to false conclusions.
Thanks, Arthur. Just reporting things as they were "on the scene" last weekend in DC.

In the process, Mr. President, Mr. Clinton unwittingly or purposely Ill give you the benefit of the doubt with this comment, you have just set the stage for violence in this country. Any future acts of violence are on your shoulders, Mr. Clinton. You just gave the kooks in this country an excuse to go be violent. Nobody on the rights doing this.

PA FReepers remember/Judicial Watch Takes on Philly Mayor, DA, and Teamster Thugs/Don & Terri Adams
Free Congress website/Judicial Watch ^ | ?, 1999 | Judicial Watch report
"Judicial Watch Takes on Philly Mayor, DA, and Teamster Thugs"
"Last October, Don and Teri Adams heard that President Clinton was attending a fundraiser in Philadelphia. Believing that President Clinton should be impeached, this brother and sister team decided to exercise their constitutional rights and protest outside the building where President Clinton was speaking. The head of the Pennsylvania Teamsters, John Morris, and a gang of union tough guys decided they didn't care about free speech. Under the direction of Morris, union thugs attacked Don Adams. His sister Teri was knocked to the ground as she tried to defend her brother. What followed will shock you," reported "Endangered Liberties" host Lisa Dean and her guest co-host, Cliff Kincaid. Larry Klayman, chairman of Judicial Watch, which is representing the Adams', provides the details.
Klayman: "Let me set the scenario here, because it's important. At the time of the attack, inside city hall was President Clinton with Ed Rendell, mayor of Philadelphia, now head of the Democratic National Committee, one of the top fundraisers of the Democratic Party, doing a fundraiser. Rendell had allowed the Teamsters to come onto City Hall property - a permit was granted. So, therefore, Rendell is responsible for being there. Philadelphia has a history of Teamster violence with some of the locals. So there was reason to believe that something was likely to happen - and sure enough it did happen with regard to this local 115 run by John Morris.

Report: LA GOP Whisper Campaign: Allee Bautsch "Earned" Stomping With "Her Sassy Mouth"
Copied post by Alexandria:
From http://biggovernment.com/
One more thing The anarchists and leftists outside the SLRC event that night had posted an ominous warning on their website before the GOP officials were attacked. The Hayride reported:
There was also an eight-page brochure the group put together that did not appear on the Facebook event page for the protest (since removed there were 209 people who had RSVPed for the event and from that roster we found Mauch and Dubinsky), and that brochure was much more ominous. It listed several Points of Unity, among them being:
- The SRLC is not welcome in NOLA without a fuss
- Recognize healthcare as a basic human right
- Oppose police oppression, the prison-industrial complex, and the dominant culture of militarism
- Recognize the need for active resistance to confront all forms of oppression, respecting a diversity of tactics
"The brochure also contained a map of the five hotels at which SRLC delegates were primarily staying, which is extremely disturbing" a hit-list.
If that kind of 'extremely disturbing' stuff were to be found at ANY organization besides one that is employed by the gov. it would immediately be under investigation by Homeland Security for terrorism as well as hate crimes. Since they are most likely not going to find these guys and this organization has been shown to have terrorist motives an investigation needs to be done, I cannot believe her boss has not demanded that Homeland Security look into this
The Greatest Mystery about WACO — 3 or 4 Slain ATF Agents were Clinton Body Guards
Steve Willis, Robert Williams, Todd McKeahan & Conway LeBleu: Died Feburary 28, 1993 by gunfire at Waco. At least three of them were former body guards for Bill Clinton, part of his security during his campaign. THAT is a FACT. Only four BATF agents were killed in Waco.
Steve Willis Clinton bodyguard Died Feb. 28, 1993 Robert Williams Clinton bodyguard Died Feb. 28, 1993 Conway LeBleu Clinton bodyguard Died Feb. 28, 1993 Todd McKeehan Clinton bodyguard Died Feb. 28, 1993 Killed by gunfire in the Waco, Texas, assault on the Branch Davidians. All four were examined by a "private doctor" and died from nearly identical wounds to the left temple, so-called execution style. In his address to employees of the Treasury Department in the Cash Room on March 18, 1993, Clinton said: "My prayers and I'm sure yours are still with the families of all four of the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents who were killed in Waco — Todd McKeehan and Conway Le Bleu of New Orleans; Steve Willis of Houston, and Robert Williams from my hometown of Little Rock. Three of those four were assigned to my security during the course of the primary or general election." However, the Little Rock, Arkansas, office of the ATF confirmed that all four had at one point been bodyguards for Bill Clinton, three while he was campaigning for president, and one while he had been governor of Arkansas. In the autopsies of these agents, three had virtually identical wounds to the left temple that exited through the rear of the head, execution-style. All four were treated by a "private physician." [snip]
Here's a counterpoint website that is obviously trying to debunk "conspiracy theories":
"President Clinton himself stated that these three men had been members of his presidential security during his campaign and named the men by name in his address to the Treasury on March 18, 1993, in the Cash Room at 11:38 a.m. A copy of this speech by the President, which was publicly broadcast, is available on Compuserve in the Whitehouse forum files area."

One under-reported outrage was the strange death of Betty Currie's brother:

A good key word is "Oregonian", a paper that reported on his beating. Here's one page that sums it up about right:
Betty Currie The night before White House secretary, Betty Currie, was to testify before the Campaign Finance hearing, her brother, Theodore Williams, Jr., was severely beaten and hospitalized (see Oregonian January 29, 1998 Page A9). Then within one month of her testifying in the Lewinsky Grand Jury her sister was killed in a car "accident" in December 1997.

Death of brother of Clintons personal secretary, Betty Currie, ruled accidental.
Jet | March 9, 1998 |
Virginia State Police recently concluded that the brother of President Clintons personal secretary, Betty Currie, did not intend to commit suicide when he ran onto an interstate after a traffic accident and was struck and killed by an oncoming tractor-trailer.
Police say there is no explanation why Theodore R. Williams Jr. of Fort Washington, MD, darted from the highway shoulder after talking to a trooper who was investigating the accident with another truck. Williams had escaped the crash without injury.
A spokeswoman, Mary S. Evans, for state police told [snip]

Sister? Wait ....
Correction ... this sounds about right:
Currie had lost a brother in a bizarre car accident that left even local investigators puzzled. Theodore Williams had survived the initial crash, only to dart back onto a Virginia highway on foot — into the path of an =

Richmond Times Dispatch 12/17/97 "A New York motorist survived a plunge down an embankment after his vehicle hit a truck on Interstate 95 in Hanover County on Monday, but he was killed when he was struck by another truck after he climbed the embankment. Theodore R. Williams, 52, of Fort Washington was traveling south about 11 a.m. when his vehicle hit a truck and plunged down the embankment just south of state Route 674, state police said. After the crash, Williams climbed up the embankment and stepped onto the roadway where he was hit by the second truck."

Batman can't count Iron Man among his fans.
Despite "The Dark Knight's" praise from critics and summer moviegoers, Robert Downey Jr. admits he hated the film.
"My whole thing is that that I saw 'The Dark Knight,'" Robert said in an interview with Movie Hole. "I'm like, 'That's not my idea of what I want to see in a movie.' I loved 'The Prestige' but didn't understand 'The Dark Knight'. Didn't get it, still can't tell you what happened in the movie, what happened to the character…"
Downey is currently starring in "Tropic Thunder," which knocked "Dark Knight" out of the top spot at this week's box office. He blames "Knight's" "highbrow" script for ruining the film, although he may be biased. The actor clearly has a favorite in the age-old Marvel vs. DC comic book debate.

"I'm like, 'I get it. This is so high-brow and so f---ing smart, I clearly need a college education to understand this movie,'" the actor ranted before adding, "You know what? F--- DC comics. That's all I have to say and that's where I'm really coming from."
Roseanne slams the Brangelina bunch
Over the last few months, Roseanne Barr has taken to her blog to voice extreme displeasure with Oprah Winfrey , Britney Spears and Toby Keith , just to name a few. Now, the actress adds Brangelina to her hit list with a scathing post about the A-list couple and their many offspring.
"Angelina Jolie and her vacuous hubby Brad Pitt make about forty million dollars a year in violent psychopathic movies," Roseanne wrote in a rambling post originally aimed at Angelina's father, Jon Voight. "(They) give away three of it to starving children trying to look as if they give a crap about humanity, as they spit out more dunces that will consume more than their fair share and wreck the earth even more. (Just sayin'.)"
As with many of Roseanne's celebrity beefs, politics fuel her anger. In this case, it's Angelina's refusal to make a presidential pick that has the former TV mom irate.
"Aren't you supposed to be somewhat enlightened, or do you not know that the African daughter you hold in every picture had parents who suffered and died because of the Republican Party's worldwide economic assault on Africa over the last few decades since Reagan?" Roseanne continued, addressing Angelina directly. "It might be good for your Asian and African children's self esteem to know you support a brown man for the leader of the free world."
Dish on the fly
New parents Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves aren't planning to walk down the aisle anytime soon. "Being married is not something that's even in our minds," Camila said in an interview with In Touch Weekly. "What's important to me is to have a home that is peaceful and healthy." … While Katy Perry's enjoying the chart-topping success of her summer single "I Kissed a Girl," her parents, who are both evangelical Christian pastors, aren't sharing in the celebration. 'I hate the song," Katy's mother, Mary Hudson, told the Daily Mail. "It clearly promotes homosexuality and its message is shameful and disgusting." … In his new book, "2011: Trendspotting for the Next Decade," Richard Laermer doesn't exactly give Jennifer Lopez star treatment. "In 2001, J.Lo was the biggest of the big, and is now the star likely to be found soon on Trivial Pursuit," the author wrote in an excerpt published in the New York Post. "And her album of 2007, called 'Brave' without a tinge of irony, was dubbed worst of the year, with one critic saying 'too shallow even by Ashley Tisdale standards.'" Ouch.

I'll say right up front that there's something important about Sex and the City, both the show and the movie. I know this not because it is the #1 selling movie in America, or because I have multiple friends who are planning to see it multiple times in theaters, but because I found myself in conversation after conversation bitching about the movie without ever planning to see it, with other people who also hadn't seen it, and all of us had extremely well-thought out viewpoints. It's obvious this show has transcended its cable-network medium when it can inspire conversation without being viewed. I decided to see it, so that I could talk smack about it more fairly.

Snap back to reality
In the comment section on my last SATC post, Allahpundit pointed out a good Kyle Smith piece on 'Sex and the City' and the fantasyland life it encourages for women:
Even 33-year-old women are not living in reality in this town. The multiplexes and networks and bookstores can barely accommodate all the movies and TV series and books (almost all written by men; one, I recall vaguely, written by me) about comical manboys coming to terms with the need to grow up. There is no equivalent message getting through to women. For them, it's all "27 Dresses" and "Made of Honor" and novels from "Pride and Prejudice" on that sling the same fantasy: There are two handsome, successful men chasing me. Whichever one will I choose? Then they walk into the bar at Pastis and discover: 150 single women, 50 gay men, 50 straight married men and 25 single straight men, but it's so loud that it's impossible to talk to anyone anyway.
And of those 25 single straight men, how many of them would meet the standards of the "Sex" geek? The show is a six-year moanathon about male flaws. They have shoe fetishes (ewwww!). They're too close to their mothers (Ick!). They have body hair (OMFG no way!) Women are the flawless norm against whose behavior all men are to be measured.
The mating talk among single men is less exacting. It boils down to two questions:
* Is she hot?
* Is she a pain in the ass?
If the answers are yes and no, respectively, the consensus is invariably: Keep her.
I'm going to see the movie because I find myself ragging on the plot lines without having seen it and feel my criticism will be better if I do. I'm currently trying to get Allah to come with me. We saw Brokeback Mountain together and SATC seems like the natural follow-up.

In 'Sex and the City,' number of sex partners true to New York life (via Hot Air headlines):
Of the four women, public relations exec Samantha racked up the most sexual partners. She bedded 41 men and one woman, while Carrie hooked up with 18, Charlotte 18 and Miranda 17.
As the show begins with them in their early to mid-thirties, I imagine there is at least a decade's worth of Sex in the City that we didn't even see.
While women with digits like Samantha may keep their number to themselves, Zdrok makes the case that it's something to be proud of. "Women with higher numbers tend to be more educated, have more liberal views and higher self-esteem," she says.
I've got a Master's degree and my self-esteem level borders on "too high", so I guess it's the liberal views that separate me from women whose partners number in the triple digits.

The Toronto Blue Jays' season has not gotten off to a great start, but should they have a fire sale? There has been a lot of talk about amongst fans about trading players. But is that really the team's best option?
The Blue Jays are currently 20-27 and sit dead last in the American League East. After an influx of major league talent, thanks in large part to a Miami Marlins fire sale, expectations were as high as ever for the Blue Jays. Needless to say, their slow start has been troublesome.
Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos went big this offseason and acquired Maicer Izturis, Melky Cabrera, Jose Reyes, Emilio Bonifacio, Josh Johnson, Mark Buehrle and R.A. Dickey. They immediately skyrocketed to World Series favourites before spring training even started. However, once they hit the field they have struggled, and have not been able to reach .500 yet this year.
So is a fire sale the route the Blue Jays should go? Should they sell their remaining assets, admit defeat on the season and get ready for the coming years by adding draft picks and prospects? I do not think it is their best bet. Here are five reasons why.

Leftover Chicken Tortilla Soup Casserole
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 35 mins
With all the tortilla soup recipes here on 'Zaar, there must be SOME leftovers. So here's what you do with the leftover soup. No more LEFTOVERS--they're "planned overs." Use the soup as the base for this tasty Mexican casserole.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 -5 cups leftover tortilla soup
- 2 -3 cups coarsely crushed tortilla chips
- 1⁄2 cup salsa (optional)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1⁄2 cup sliced black olives
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Pour leftover soup into a large casserole pan.
- Dump tortilla chips into the soup, mix well.
- Add salsa to soup & chips if the soup isn't very soupy; mix well.
- Slather sour cream over the top.
- Sprinkle on the olives.
- Sprinkle the cheese over the olives.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and casserole is heated through.
- OTHER OPTIONS: add some chopped green chilis, cumin, red peppers.
- NOTE: My chicken tortilla soup has corn kernels in it -- if your recipe doesn't, try adding some; it really makes a difference.
Most Helpful
Very good. I used blue tortilla chips and a avocado slices instead of black olives. Loved it.
I didn't have any left over tortilla soup so I had to improvise and use a canned mexican style soup and doctor it up. I liked it but I think I will try it again when I DO have leftover soup.

Paratuberculosis and Crohn's Disease: Got Milk?
Milk and Pus
Professor Hermon-Taylor, internationally known expert on Crohn's and MAP genetics, who has researched the illness for 20 years, said: "If there were no MAP I believe there would be almost no Crohn's disease. It is certainly responsible for between 60 per cent and 90 per cent of all cases and I would think that it is more likely to be 90 per cent."[110] Obviously, everyone who's exposed to paraTB doesn't come down with Crohn's disease, as is the case in virtually all infectious diseases. As mentioned previously, just because one comes in contact with a pathogen does not necessarily mean one comes down with the illness. Genetic and environmental factors facilitate establishment, persistence, and production of disease.[45]
H. pylori (the bacterium proven to cause ulcers), for example, is one of the most common of all bacterial infections90 -- a third of Americans have H. pylori in their stomachs.99 A third of us, however, don't have ulcers;[64] some people are susceptible and some are not. Similarly, only about one in three hundred people exposed to tuberculosis actually come down with active disease.[19] Until we know why some and not others fall ill, all one can do is to try to minimize exposure to the pathogen. For example, people should not let those with tuberculosis cough in their face.
Drinking milk from cows infected with Johne's disease is how people are exposed to paratuberculosis. Based on DNA fingerprinting techniques, there are two strains of MAP: one that affects cattle, and one that affects goats and sheep. All human isolates so far have been of bovine origin,[24] implicating milk.[11] Milk is the "logical" focus of exposure[24] because cows with Johne's disease secrete paraTB abundantly in their milk.[158] Even sub-clinical cows -- those that are infected but appear perfectly normal -- shed paraTB bacteria into their milk.[24] Although these bacteria are found free-floating in milk, their transmission may be facilitated by their presence inside pus cells.[158] This is a particular problem in the United States, as we have the highest permitted upper limit of milk pus cell concentration in the world -- almost twice the international standard of allowable pus cells (750,000/ml vs. 400,000/ml)[168] By US federal law, Grade A milk is allowed to have over a drop of pus per glass of milk.[6] These pus cells may facilitate the transmission of paraTB.[158]
