As somewhat of a re-rail, I had never been fond of trout but had never had a wild trout until this past summer. My daughter and I ate two trout caught from Deep Creek cooked with no more seasoning than a little salt and pepper on a grill over an open fire. I really didn't expect much but the fish was excellent, as good as any I have ever had. It was mild and almost sweet. I was surprised and had no idea there was such a difference in stocked fish and wild ones.
I look forward to the day I can eat another. It's just hard to improve on nature.

Today, I was drinking from a water bottle while in a lecture. The water caught in my throat and it felt like I was choking to death. Instead of asking me if I was okay or trying to help, the guy sitting next to me told me to shut up. FML

Main Forums > I Just Tested Poz
Worst Birthday Ever.
(1/6) > >>
Well, today is my 29th birthday and I had my first appointment with an infectious disease doctor. Yesterday, my primary care doctor told me I was HIV positive with viral load count of 20,700. I swear I must have contracted it orally, but in the end, I guess it doesn't matter. What's done is done. For what it's worth, here is my story:November 9 - went to bath house and had protected sex with several guys, but not protected oral. Only one guy came and I made it a point to check the condom.November 23 - Developed a fever of 100.5 and vomited a couple of times. There was no stuffy nose, no sore throat, and no body aches accompanying this fever. It lasted about 2 days.December 1 - I developed a rash like the one on this page - http://www.hiv.bg/hivskin.english.htm. It was on my torso, back, arms, and upper legs. The rash was not itchy and I had no other symptoms with it - no fever, no aches, no diarrhea, no vomiting, no sore throat, nothing. My best friend did notice that my face seemed a little swollen though (lymph nodes?).December 4 - I went to the doctor with the rash. He gave me a shot of something in the office and prescribed me mehylprednisolone and hydroxyzine.December 6 - The rash subsided.December 7 - I was worried at this point and gave blood at a clinic for my first HIV test. It would take two weeks for the result.December 15 - I coudn't wait for those results so I went to my doctor's office and gave them blood to be tested for all STDs including HIV, which I did sign for. The doctor told me the following week that everything is fine with my tests. This was a relief, so I figured not to worry about the test at the clinic.Before Christmas but after I received doctor's office test result - The clinic called and told me they had an indeterminate result and wanted me to give more blood sample. I couldn't come in until after Christmas though because I was leaving town.January 2 - I went to see a counselor at the first clinic and he told me that I had a reactive ELISA test and an indeterminate WB test. I told them about my doctor's test and gave them more blood.January 3 - I started freaking out so I went to a different clinic for a rapid HIV Oraquick test. The test was reactive. They wanted to take blood to confirm, but I told them I am already having that done. After the test, I called my doctor and he had me come in and told me to take a Viral Load test the next morning and also prescribed me Epivir (once a day).January 4 - I gave blood for the Viral load test in the morning. I told someone I've kind of been seeing about what I was going through and he freaked out on me. I took him to get a rapid test and it was negative which was a relief.January 8 - The doctor told me the bad news about the viral load test. That evening I told my best friend what I went through and the bad news.January 9 - I went to see the infectious disease doctor for a consultation. Unfortunately, he didn't have the lab results at this time released from my other doctor's office. He seemed reassuring and kind of theraputic, asking me my feelings, what I've been thinking, etc. He also told me to stop taking the Epivir and gave me some homework (reading material). I am going to see him again in 2 weeks. After the visit I went to my original doctor's office to sign a release and get copies of his notes and the lab results. I have to bring this to my infectious disease doctor before my next visit....And that's my story. Tonight, my friends are taking me out to dinner for my birthday.My emotions have been all over the map these last couple of months. I feel like the world has fallen under a twilight like this video game I've been playing. I have been involved in taking jazz, modern, and aerial dance classes and low-flying trapeze. It has been difficult for me to go to those classes these last couple of months because of my constant worrying and anxiety, but when I go, it does take my mind off of things. The doctor was reassuring today, but when I started reading the material he gave me, I became scared and worried again. A part of me would like to believe that a cure will be found within 10 years, but another part believes that it's more profitable for drug companies to keep people alive with "life-long treatment." So they have no real incentive to find a cure. Hopefully, that part of me is wrong.
Boo Radley:
minus,A few days before my 34th birthday in 1989 I got my test results. I don't remember anything about that birthday but I've gone through 16 more since then. Testing poz is not the end of one's life. You can still take classes and enjoy activities as much as you've done before. Lots of people using these forums are actively engaged in school, work, and pursuing goals without being hindered by HIV. You're right that how you became infected doesn't matter and you need to focus on your needs now as an HIV+ person. Every person who tests poz goes through her/his own period of grief, anger, fear, sadness, and other emotions. What you feel now is natural and you should allow yourself to go through the range of feelings as best you can. Talking to a good friend or counselor or therapist might help you with the process.A viral load of 20,700 is pretty low but until your CD4 count is known you have to wait. Easy to say, I know. Your CD4 count will probably be pretty good and you won't have to worry about meds for some time with such a low viral load. When you start meds you will probably have an easier time of it thanks to the thousands of people who were guinea pigs during much of the 80s and 90s and the number of treatment options available in 2007.This birthday will be the first of many more to come and next year you'll probably be in a much better frame of mind. I'm sorry you're blue on your birthday but it's certainly understandable. Maybe you can forget about HIV for a short time tonight and enjoy the company of people who love you. Happy birthday anyway! Take care,Boo
Hello there.Sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Listen try to calm down and it does no good trying to remember how and who gave it to you. It's hard to accept it but if u read alot of posts in the forum it is better to have found out now than in the hospital. What are your CD4 counts? They should have given it to you when they gave you your viral load. THey usually ask you to wait 1-2 weeks but they usually have the results in 5-7 days so give them a call and find out.
Happy birthday!I know that may seem inappropriate in light of what is undoubtedly a most unfelicitous development in your life. I can totally relate. I am also 29, and I was also diagnosed less than a month ago after a similarly inexplicable timetable of possible exposures. I haven't gotten my first CD4/viral load count back. But I have already resolved not to permit this challenge to steal my happiness. I am fortunate in that I am healthy and that I have wonderfully supportive people in my life. In some ways, HIV has made me MORE appreciative of my blessings and MORE sensitive to the hidden heartaches that others have in their lives. I pray that, in time, you might rediscover all the things in your life that are still cause for joy. Accordingly, I pray that today might be yet anotherHappy birthday!
Really sorry you are hiv---the timing of the news really sucks, but am waiting to here when a good time to here this would be! I found out myself on December 11th so everything you expressed is still pretty fresh for me too.You will find that for what reason I have yet to figure out this board seems to attract people with the biggest hearts you can imagine. You probably noticed just reading the responses to your posts.Anyway glad you are here. Stick around, The company is pretty cool here.Rick

I very much would like to see Patrick on our bench someday soon and I would hate to see him continue to coach against us, but I like the guy too much to wish against his chances in landing a head coaching job with Detroit or anywhere else.
This might belong in the NBA forum but f*ck it... it's Pat.
The Detroit Pistons have expanded their head coaching search by interviewing Orlando Magic assistant coach Patrick Ewing, according to league sources.
Ewing, 49, has long desired to be a head coach, and has decried what he viewed as pigeonholing him as a big man assistant, a role he has undertaken while an assistant coach in Houston with Yao Ming and in Orlando with Dwight Howard. Ewing has said that he does a lot more than just work with bigs and is ready to run a team. He badly wanted to get a shot with the Knicks, the team for whom he became a superstar after being taken first overall in the 1985 Draft.
Its disappointing that I havent moved to the next step to getting a head coaching job, but all I can do is keep working hard and keep on preparing myself for whenever that opportunity arises, Ewing told the New York Daily News earlier this month. A lot of people try to pigeonhole me into just a big mans coach and Im just not a big mans coach. Im a coach.
He is the fifth known candidate to replace John Kuester, joining former Hawks coach Mike Woodson, former Nets and current Celtics assistant Lawrence Frank, former WNBA coach and current Timberwolves assistant Bill Laimbeer and current Bucks assistant coach Kelvin Sampson, a former college coach at Indiana and Oklahoma. Each has interviewed once with team president Joe Dumars. It is not known if second interviews will be conducted with the Pistons new majority owner, Tom Gores.
I very much would like to see Patrick on our bench someday soon and I would hate to see him continue to coach against us, but I like the guy too much to wish against his chances in landing a head coaching job with Detroit or anywhere else.
In my eyes Patrick Ewing will always be a Knick.
I hope Pat gets this job, he really deserves it.
I wish him nothing but the best.
That Piston's gig is tough, they are a team in flux right now...they have 2 combo guards and Greg Monroe and then a bunch of vets who don't like it there...interesting to see what he could do with Monroe and a disgruntled roster should he get the job.
Originally Posted by Knicksin60

wish he gets the chance as i think he deserves and and well be a good head coach. part of me just wishes he would get it with us though loll.
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
I remember hearing Isiah Thomas was being considered for this job. I kinda hope he gets it so that he can have nothing to do with the Knicks.

Title: A Preliminary Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Current BMPs in Controlling Stormwater Discharges from Small Construction Sites in the Valley and Ridge Physiographic Region and Developing Metrics to Assess the Effects of Discharge on Stream Communities
Focus Category: SED, WQL, ECL
Descriptors: erosion, erosion control, construction, sediments, fish communities, invertebrate communities, bioassessment
Duration: March 1, 1999 to February 29, 2000
Federal Funds:
Non-Federal Funds:
Principal Investigators: Ken R. Marion (PI), Biology Department, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL 35294-1170 Phone: (205) 934-3582 Robert Angus (Biology Department), and Melinda Lalor (Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering) UAB
Congressional District: VI
Water Problem and Need for Research
As population expansion and increasing development occur in the Southeast, stormwater runoff from construction sites has become an increasingly major contributor to siltation input into our streams and rivers. While large construction projects represent single major potential pollution sources and are usually more visible, smaller construction sites (usually future home sites <5 acres) are both more numerous and are less likely to employ adequate erosion control best management practices (BMPs). By far the most common BMPs employed at such sites are plastic silt fences and hay bales. Although factors controlling erosion processes are well known, few scientific studies have been performed to evaluate the effectiveness (or lack of it) in the field of such BMPs, especially as affected by physical site and rainfall characteristics. This is especially true for the more upland and hilly terrain regions of Alabama and the Southeast. Information on the effectiveness of such BMPs in hilly terrain situations and the factors influencing the effectiveness is needed to assist in the selection of appropriate BMPs and the design of future erosion controls. Such information would be directly useful to federal, state and local regulatory agencies charged with the protection of aquatic environments. Additionally, in order to adequately evaluate the effectiveness of silt fence erosion control, assessments of the runoff on receiving streams or drainages are needed. Although a number of bioassessment metrics are available and commonly used, some metrics are more responsive to some stressors than others and are known to vary between physiographic regions. There is a critical need to develop or refine such metrics so that they are more sensitive biocriteria from which a more refined discrimination can be made between the level of impairment between sites. Such improved metrics will assist in the selection and design of improved erosion control devices.
These objectives address the major water resource problems of Alabama (as recognized by the Water Resources Advisory Committee, 1992) of determining the effects of current, common BMPs on water quality, evaluating the impacts of erosion/sedimentation, and correlating sediment characteristics to geology, slope and land use. Further, the above objectives are in accord with stated Southeastern Region water priorities (3/25/96) for the protection of water from degradation by non-point sources and soil erosion and the need for research on the ecological balance of aquatic communities.
Expected Results, Benefits, Information, etc.:
Data collected in this preliminary study will allow us to identify the physical site and rainfall characteristics that appear most likely to influence the effectiveness of in-place erosion control silt fences on small construction sites. Few studies have evaluated the field effectiveness of such BMPs, especially in the Valley and Ridge Physiographic Region (typical of upland and hilly terrain regions of much of northeast Alabama and a good portion of the Southeast). Our working hypothesis is that current BMPs are not very effective in this region of the country. The data obtained in this research project will be used to prepare a more comprehensive proposal to be submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in which the assessment of other, potentially more effective, erosion control procedures would be included. Such information on field effectiveness and influencing factors would assist federal, state, and local regulatory agencies (who are charged with the protection of aquatic environments) in the selection of appropriate BMPs and the design of future erosion control systems. Additionally, improved erosion control methods would greatly benefit stream biological communities by improving water/habitat quality.
Bioassessment metrics calculated for streams receiving differing quantities of silt will allow for the preliminary identification of metrics most sensitive to variations in siltation. Our initial data will be used to strengthen a proposal to the U.S. EPA to support a more comprehensive screening of such metrics. The ultimate objective is the development and validation of metrics that permit a more refined discrimination between sites with varying levels of impairment. Ultimately, the confidence with which a judgment of biological conditions can be made using biocriteria depends upon the soundness and scientific validity of the metrics selected and tested. Metrics that are poorly defined or based on a flawed conceptual basis provide erroneous judgments with the potential for poor management decisions. The development of improved metrics will allow for an adequate assessment of the effects of runoff from construction sites. Ideally, such information would be useful in the selection and design of future BMPs.

Dog sledding in the Yukon -- it's not your normal, everyday winter vacation. But thanks to an Air North Top 20 Whitehorse promotion, my husband and I were able to enjoy a four-day outdoor adventure in Canada's spectacular Great White North and get a little "mushing" in on the side.
Leaving Vancouver in the comfort of a 747, it wasn't long before we began our descent into Whitehorse, Yukon (pop. 27,000).
We quickly settled in the Best Western Gold Rush Inn on Main Street and bundled up for a walk in the cold afternoon air to experience the Klondike-themed town shops. After a few hot cups of coffee and goodies at the famous "Baked" cafe and more sightseeing, we headed to a local pub to take in live music with well-known blues guitarist-singer, Doc MacLean. It was a perfect evening complemented by having a few cold Yukon-brewed beers with the regulars.
Our trip coincided with the city's annual Sourdough Rendezvous Festival (Feb. 23-26) and we spent the following day walking and exploring the outdoor kiosks along with what seemed like the entire town. We took advantage of fresh-baked bannock bread, enjoyed delicious maple syrup toffee, learned a few survival tricks from our very own Canadian Rangers and had a hoot placing our votes on our favourite ice sculptures in -25C degree weather. Contestant teams came from as far as Sweden.
After watching a few Rendezvous sled dog races, featuring competitors from 8 years old to old-timers with their 4- to 6-dog teams, we were ready to give dog sledding or as the locals call it, dog mushing, a try.
It was the highlight of our trip.
After a hearty warm breakfast the next morning, we headed out to meet Gary, our guide at Sky High Ranch approximately 25 minutes out of town, for our half-day excursion.
All puppies are left to wander the property at leisure and all are referred to as simply "Puppy." We were told it's much easier this way, instead of having to call out eight different names at lunch time. However, once the puppies start showing signs of dominance and aggressiveness, they are leashed and given their individual names. (Usually at about eight months old.) It turns out that the puppies are named after the caretakers' favourite TV characters. One previous litter had dogs named Sylvester, Itchy and Scratchy.
My husband and I both had our very own team of dogs that we harnessed and got to know.
These dogs are incredibly strong and have an ingrained need and love to simply run. I had a team of four females with the leader named Maddie, a "Yukon Quest" dog. To receive this special recognition, dogs must successfully complete the famous 1,000-mile race from Whitehorse to Fairbanks, Alaska. I was in awe observing Maddie's focus on the task at hand; never stopping to grab snow or distracted by the other dogs.
Throughout this unique excursion, Gary ensured that the dogs had plenty of short rest periods. After a few minutes of inactivity, the dogs would start howling which was the cue to get moving again. These breaks also allowed us to appreciate the quietness of this remote area and serene landscape.
Although it was very cold, and even wearing of every piece of winter clothes we owned, my husband and I were both smiling at our good fortune.

Ian Bibby from NFTO Pro has reportedly emerged as the winner in the first round of Chorley GP and impressed everybody with a thrilling performance at the last few kilometers of the race.
The NFTO rider, who stays quite close to the Preston race track, crossed the finishing line all alone after he & his team-mate Dunbar (Eddie) attacked in the last few miles.
Both of them were part of this eighteen-rider break that went pretty clear on Rivington climb while they tacked 3rd of 5 laps yet it was not till the last climb of the same hill when that decisive move surfaced.
18-year-old Irish Dunbar came up with a tough attack & flew up to the hill, afar from leading break & leaving just Bibby & Raleigh-GAC rider Steve Lampier in touch.
Three of them came together yet Bibby was ahead of them, flying off Eddie's wheel to secure the victory. Lampier came up with the 2nd position & Morgan Kneisky from the same team took the 3rd place. Read more »

The 38 years old David Millar, who used to be a professional cyclist is at present writing a book. Millar became 38 years old in January this year. No rider other than David Millar, has been able to become the winner of all the jerseys of Tour de France.
David Millar is the first British cyclist to become the winner of leader's jersey in the three Grand Tours. David Millar used to ride for the French professional cycling team Cofidis and the American cycling team, Cannondale-Garmin.
He has said that his brand will revolutionise the perspective through which the sport of Cycling is viewed. David Millar retired from being a professional cyclist the year before in the month of September. But it would be wrong to assume that his life has become much slower. The success stories of Millar and even the controversies regarding him still persist. This year a book written by Millar will be launched. Read more »

Great news for Chris Froome fans- after initial refusal to take part in the upcoming Tour France 2015, the 2013 Tour France champ has finally agreed to take up the challenge once again with full vigor, after Giro & Vuelta Espana next year.
The Team Sky star had to unfortunately withdraw from this year's Tour France following a severe crash on the 5th stage. Thus, when the Tour France organizers displayed a rigorous mountainous route for next year, Froome had expressed his concerns.
However, Froome, who recently got married to his beautiful manager Michelle last month, is now back in full-on training with Sky in South Africa. He has already begun building his upcoming season to lead at Tour France. Read more »

OBJECTIVE: To examine the validity of a growth trajectory method to discriminate between pathologically and constitutionally undergrown fetuses using repeated measures of estimated fetal weight.
METHODS: In a prospective, observational, multicenter study in Ireland, 1,116 women with a growth-restricted fetus diagnosed participated with the objective of evaluating ultrasound findings as predictors of pediatric morbidity and mortality. Fetal growth trajectories were based on estimated fetal weight.
RESULTS: Between 22 weeks of gestation and term, two fetal growth trajectories were identified: normal (96.7%) and pathologic (3.3%). Compared with the normal trajectory, the pathologic trajectory was associated with an increased risk for preeclampsia (odds ratio [OR] 8.1, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.6–23.4), increased umbilical artery resistance at 30 weeks of gestation (OR 12.6, 95% CI 4.6–34.1) or 34 weeks of gestation (OR 28.0, 95% CI 8.9–87.7), reduced middle cerebral artery resistance at 30 weeks of gestation (OR 0.33, 95% CI 0.12–0.96) or 34 weeks of gestation (OR 0.14, 95% CI 0.03–0.74), lower gestational age at delivery (mean 32.02 weeks of gestation compared with 38.02 weeks of gestation; P<.001), and higher perinatal complications (OR 21.5, 95% CI 10.5–44.2). In addition, 89.2% of newborns with pathologic fetal growth were admitted to neonatal intensive care units compared with 25.9% of those with normal growth.
CONCLUSIONS: Fetal growth trajectory analysis reliably differentiated fetuses with a pathologic growth pattern among a group of women with growth-restricted fetuses. With further development, this approach could provide clarity to how we define, identify, and ultimately manage pathologic fetal growth.

She said: "You know it's changed from what it was in 2007 when I had 12 minute Pay Per View matches now to 30 second (matches). It's hard to make a crowd relate to you when you can't talk on the microphone. You have only a minute in the ring and you have 10 divas in the ring at the same time so you can't build a character and you can't make people relate. It's impossible to get over. I just wish the girls were given more time to work because there is potential but there's no time. They need to give them something so they (WWE) can receive something and If they don't, they will never get anything." They also talked about the "House of Maryse", reports that she was too sexy for PG TV, her release, her role on NXT, her hand pose, dating The Miz and more.

Tag: controlled experiment
by gwilson on Mar.24, 2011, under A Day in the Life...
One of the most popular television shows on the Discovery Channel is Mythbusters. Their crew of special effects experts, engineers, and scientists look at myths and popular science through the eyes of controlled experimentation for the purpose of "confirming" or "busting" rumors and myths. It is not surprising that such a show would be a hit, as the origins of modern experimental science include the reports of the Royal Society of London in their journal "Philosophical Transactions" where amateur and professional scientists from around the world reported on their putting nature to the test. Can spiders run out of a circle made from powdered unicorn horn? That's where you would go to find the answer! In many ways, the Royal Society, with members like Newton and Boyle and Hooke and others, was the first "science club" and gave us the blueprint for the way modern experimental science is done.
In our BIMS 1300 Introduction to Scientific Research class we are looking at the efforts of the Discovery Channel's Mythbusters crew to see whether their experimental approaches to testing nature in past episodes can be improved upon. Four teams of students will be watching Mythbusters episodes this weekend and presenting cases from the Mythbuster files and then improving upon the science – identifying and accounting for additional variables, improving upon the controls, etc. – for the purpose of demonstrating their knowledge of how science is done. What good is learning about how experiments are set up without actually setting some up? How better than to analyze and improve upon the experiments of others!
So what will it be: the exploding outhouse? the five-second rule? We'll see which of the hundreds of clips and stories from the Mythbuster archives are chosen for presentations and re-thinking in the lab during the next few weeks.
Students Use Science Methods to Develop Games
by gwilson on Nov.22, 2010, under A Day in the Life..., Projects
The final project for the lab this semester in BIMS 1300 Introduction to Scientific Research is development of games that implement all of the concepts we've learned this semester. The checklist of specifications is extensive and each must be defended by the inventors:
- must require players to use the basics of the scientific method,
- must require qualitative and quantitative observations and analysis,
- must address concepts of accuracy and precision,
- must include elements of "cause and effect",
- must require players to use inductive and deductive reasoning,
- must include elements of observation without intervention, controlled experimentation, and statistical correlation with intervention (the photo shows a plan one group will use to replicate a double-blind study as players land on particular spaces of their game board).
Three teams are hard at work, with two games focused on college life and the third centered on a "you be the doctor" approach to medical diagnosis and treatment. Each team will present their game to the class on November 29th, and each team will play each other's games during the week and critique them based on a rubric incorporating all specifications (there are more than those listed above).
Who knows – maybe one of these will be on your 2011 Christmas list!
All along this semester I've told my students we were taking a "wax on, wax off" approach to learning how scientists work (if that flew over your head, watch Karate Kid and you'll see what I'm talking about). Even in their final lab project they are seeing how skills used by scientists are applicable to approaching problems they encounter in every day life. Better critical thinkers developed in a fun and creative environment should prepare these students well for their advanced science courses.

My kids are just as attached to my iPhone as I am. They love knowing that they have their own collection of games, books, and YouTube videos always on had for long car rides and anytime we have to wait some place. I am constantly looking for new apps for them to play, and it honestly isn't that easy to find ones that both of my kids will enjoy.
Did I also mention that it can't just be a mindless application? I like my kids to play games that teach them something … I know, a pretty tall list of demands. Thankfully, I have had good luck finding iPhone apps that fit into all of these categories, and I have just found another one — ABC's with Bingzy Bee Phonics from Bing Note
The 1st animated educational app that teaches the letters of the alphabet along with their sounds, all in an original song.
With four ways to play, this game keeps my kids very entertained. They love the ABC song, and I really like that it is not only teaching the letters but also the sounds. My daughter loves the Letter Drag and Drop game – it is great practice for what she is learning in school. While the game is more geared towards a preschool/kindergarten age group, my two year old enjoys the music and dances along whenever this app is played.
About the App (as stated on the Bingzy Bee Website)
- Features Bingzy's ABC Song.
- Perfect for PreK and K.
- Available on the iPhone & iPod.
- Developed by a group of award-winning teachers & used in the classroom for numerous years with proven success.
- Song is taught in 4 sections, with a game after each section to reinforce what the child learned. Or, the entire song can be played at one time.
- Sounds are pronounced by a professionally trained teacher.
- ABC's with Bingzy Bee: Phonics is an essential step for beginning reading. Stay tuned for more in the series.
- WARNING: the song is addicting – don't blame us if your child is singing the alphabet and its corresponding sounds all day long! :0)
Get it:
You can purchase ABC's with Bingzy Bee Phonics from iTunes.

On Being a Buyer Agent Showing Landfall Homes in Wilmington NC
A New Landfall Buyer Agent Arrives in Wilmington NC
I'll go into detail soon on the real estate market in Landfall--an amazing neighborhood of homes for sale $350,000-4,000,000. It's huge with tons of amenities and it's best feature...7 minutes to Wrightsville beach :)
Hi, I'm Jay Seville, the owner of justnewlistings.com realty in Northern Virginia, in Washington DC, and shortly opening in Wilmington, North Carolina. Right now, in Wilmington.
I'm temporarily hanging my license at coastal properties and I wanted to give you an update on my Landfall tag, of my real estate blog. I'm purely a buyer agent, I love negotiating, I love saving people money, and one of the areas that I'm working, and becoming a niche expert on, is Landfall. And I wanted to give you a little window into my mentality as a buyer agent. You know, I'm used to doing with my team 36 transactions a year in Northern Virginia, which probably puts me in the top one half of one percent of agents, and especially of buyer agents, it's rare for a buyer agent to do more than, perhaps, ten transactions.
So, with Landfall, I will be writing articles about it regularly, I will be ranked, when you Google Landfall homes for sale, Wilmington. I'll be ranked, eventually I believe, at number one for the Real Estate blog or when I put the listings on justnewlistings.com. Right now, if you Google Landfall homes for sale, short sales, Wilmington, my Wilmington-realestate.com site is probably number 17, number 19, and I just started. So, I'm going to be a powerhouse presence within there shortly, and my mentality for this is, I don't go into Landfall with some sort of worshipful mentality of the neighborhood, because it's sought after, where I'm immediately respecting the listing prices of these so called listing agents. That's sort of how it was in Great Falls, Virginia. The average listing price there at 1.4 million, okay?

By Karl Terry: PNT Managing Editor
Roosevelt County dairyman Mike Mitchell looked at home and relaxed this week as he drank a cup of coffee and munched a cinnamon roll in his office at Grande Vida Dairy.
Things were a lot different when I finally caught up to him in March of 2007, a day after a tornado wiped out his dairy.
He was obviously stressed and close to broken. He was trying to settle what was left of his herd into someone else's dairy and he was worried about his family, employees and injured cows.
As incredible an act of God as the March 23, 2007, tornadoes were — the acts of kindness and caring that residents of eastern New Mexico bestowed on their hurting neighbors was even more incredible. If it had to happen, at least we live in a community where people care about others.
For several weekends after the tornado, people – from other dairy owners to Eastern New Mexico University football players to church groups – were at Grande Vida to help clean up.
Mike told me later that he thought they could be back to milking at Grande Vida in four months, but I thought that was a little optimistic considering the damage. The Mitchell's were able to move their herd home in July.
In Clovis, the scale of the disaster was even greater. After driving through the city the Sunday after the tornado, I thought it might take years for things to look normal again.
Thousands of volunteers helped with the cleanup and I think that community effort is, no doubt, what made it possible for Clovis residents to gather their wits and begin the process of reconstructing their lives.
That night and the long weekend will be something I'll always remember. Somehow, I knew the storm brewing in south Roosevelt County that Friday afternoon was different, and I went out to chase it.
Though we never got in the right location to photograph the tornado that evening, there are things about the storm I'll never forget.
As we headed out the Dora Highway just before dark, the hail and intense rain we ran through is still easy to recall. I thought it was going to beat the roof off my truck.
After the storm went on toward Arch, we headed out the Clovis Highway and finally decided to turn back before we got to Cacahuate Road. I figured we needed to get back to the office and be ready to help the Clovis News Journal staff, because I knew the storm was going to hit Clovis head-on.
As we drove back to Portales an incredible gust-front swept across the highway from north to south — the opposite way in which the storm had been traveling and counter to the wind direction we had experienced all evening.
It was an eerie feeling as the wind drove rain, tumbleweeds and other debris across our path. I knew that wasn't a good sign.
I didn't get home until sunrise the next morning. But at least my home or business wasn't in the tornado's path. Other's weren't as fortunate.
The sun came out bright and clear the next day but the wounds on the community looked bad. Really bad.
Somehow, in a year's time, most of what was destroyed has been resurrected by this Easter Sunday.
Faith and tenacity have hopefully won out for most of our neighbors.

The following time I read a weblog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as a lot as this one. I mean, I do know it was my choice to learn, but I truly thought youd have something attention-grabbing to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about one thing that you might fix when you werent too busy looking for attention.

Water in the Peace Process: Israel-Syria-Palestinians
פורסם ב-יום ראשון 01 ספטמבר 1996
Water in the Peace Process:
Advocate Jitzchak P. Alster
Shimoni, Alster & Rasiel
Part I of this Article described the background of the issues surrounding water In the Middle East from the historical and legal perspective and portrayed in detail the provisions relating to water in the Jordan Israel Peace Treaty.
Part 2 of this Article will concentrate on the water issues between Israel and Syria and between Israel and the Palestinians. The factor common to both situations is that no final water agreement has been reached although with respect to the Palestinians the Parties have already entered into an interim agreement.
The Israeli-Palestinian Interim Agreement on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip (the "Interim Agreement" or, as popularly known, the "Oslo 'B' Agreement") which followed in sequence the Agreement on the Gaza Strip and the Jericho Area, has transferred some of the powers and responsibilities in the sphere of water and sewage in the West Bank to the Palestinians. In addition the Agreement contains a recognition of Palestinian water rights in the West Bank which will be negotiated in the permanent status negotiations and settled in the permanent Status Agreement relating to the various water resources. The Interim Agreement also contains specific provisions relating to the current and future uses of water by the Palestinians and established a strict enforcement mechanism over the quantum of current and future withdrawals from the groundwater aquifers.
Historical Background
As described in detail in Part I of this Article, the relations between Israel and Syria in the pre-1967 era deteriorated at times because of disputes over the control and utilization of water resources. This fact should not come as a surprise, as the 1949 Armistice Line between Israel and Syria was drawn partially along the Jordan River while the 1923 International Boundary (between the then French Mandates over Syria and Lebanon on the north and the east, and the then British Mandate over Israel to the south and the west) left the water resources on the west (i.e. the Israeli) side of the boundary by drawing the line east of and at a certain distance from the River. Whereas the 1923 International Border determined that the Jordan River, its tributaries the Dan and most of the Baniyas, the Huleh Lake as well as all of Lake Tiberias were to be on the Israeli side of the border. the Armistice Agreement provided that at some places the Armistice Lines would be along the Jordan River itself. Although at some places the Armistice demarcation did not follow the 1923 International Border, no Syrian troops were permitted west of the international border and no Israeli troops on its eastern side as the areas between the International Boundary and the Armistice Lines were designated as demilitarized zones.
Israel and Syria specifically stipulated in the Armistice Agreement that the Armistice Line should not be interpreted as having any relation whatsoever to ultimate territorial arrangements affecting Israel and Syria. Notwithstanding the above, between 1949 and 1967 Syria claimed riparian rights wherever it had access to the water, i.e. on certain parts between its formation at the confluence of the Dan, Hazbani and Baniyas southeast from the town of Kiryat Shemona and until north of Lake Tiberias.
With respect to Lake Tiberias itself, both the 1923 International Boundary demarcation as well as the 1949Armistice Line provided that the whole of the Lake was to be on the Israeli side of the lines and for that purpose the line was drawn 10 meters east from the high water line at the northeastern part of the Lake from the inlet of the Jordan River to a point north of Kibbutz Ein-Gev. While at times Syrian fishermen entered the Lake with their fishing boats, Syria never had any riparian status on Lake Tiberias.
The Golan Heights
The Golan Heights, as part of the Hermon geological formation, form the basis for a significant part of the sources of the Jordan River. This includes the Baniyas (Hermon), Wazani and Hazbani Rivers as well as various smaller tributaries, both perennial as well as seasonal ones, which flow directly into the Jordan River and into the Lake Tiberias.
The sovereignty over the Golan Heights has therefore not only the much publicized military significance but determines as well the physical control over a considerable part of Israel's major surface water resources. The control over these resources has particular significance due to a number of factors. First and foremost, the physical control over these resources by Syria could enable their diversion and storage, as was indeed attempted by the Syrians in the 1960's when Syria commenced works for the diversion of the Baniyas and the Wazani .
Second, but not less important, the sovereignty over the Golan Heights determines the river basin rights of the Upper Part of the Jordan River. With Israeli control over the Golan Heights Israel is in fact the major basin country of the Upper Jordan River with Syria having no water interests on the Upper Jordan River System.
A Syrian controlled Golan will place it as a basin state on sources of the Jordan River as well as a direct riparian on some its eastern tributanes. A border in the thalweg of the Jordan River will have Syria as a direct riparian on the Jordan River itself.
The Yarmouk River
The Yarmouk River presents a unique situation. The River borders Syria, Jordan and Israel but has never been the subject of a signed basin agreement between all of the riparians. Absent direct relations between Israel and Syria separate agreements were concluded between Israel and Jordan on the one hand and between Jordan and Syria on the other. Syria and Jordan concluded bilateral agreements in 1953 and in 1987 on the damming of the Yarmouk River and the utilization of the river waters stored in the dam as well as on the utilization of upstream tributaries wells and springs. The Peace Treaty between Israel and Jordan contains specific provisions on water allocations between the Parties .
The sources of the Yarmouk River include a number of tributaries in Jordan and Syria with the majority of these sources located in Syria. The Yarmouk initially forms the border between Jordan and Syria until the tripartite border (Israel, Jordan, Syria) at El-Hamma (Hamat Gader) south-east of Lake Tiberias, and forms, from that point, westward and downstream, the border between Israel and Jordan until the Yarmouk's confluence with the Jordan River at Naharayim.
The EI-Hamma area and westward until a point near the village of Zemach at the southern end of Lake Tiberias, also known as the El-Hamma enclave, was designated a demilitarized zone in accordance with the terms of the 1949 Armistice Agreement between Israel and Syria as it was between the Tripartite International Boundary at El-Hamma on the east and the Armistice Line on the west. No Syrian forces were permitted in this demilitarized zone and the enclave was to be under Israeli administrative control. In fact parts of the enclave were taken by force and under Syrian Army control, in contravention of the Armistice Agreement of 1949, until the six-day war of 1967 when Israel took possession of the Golan Heights.
The Syrian-Jordanian Agreement of 1953 provided in its pertinent part the framework for the construction of a dam on the Yarmouk River at a site near to Maquarin on the JordanSyrian border east of El-Hamma, which allows for the catching of the upstream tributaries of the Yarmouk River with the exception of the waters of the Roqad which flows into the Yarmouk River west of the proposed dam site. In addition, the 1953 agreement provided for a division of waters between Jordan and Syria for the utilization of springs and wells as well as for the construction of Syrian dams on the various upstream tributaries of the Yarmouk River. In fact the part of the Agreement relating to the construction of the Maquarin Dam was never fulfilled.
In a massive economic development plan initiated by Syria in the early 1980's a large number of dams and reservoirs were constructed by Syria on the tributaries of the Yarmouk River thereby reducing the base flow of the River, well in excess of the quantities permitted by the 1953 Agreement. As a consequence thereof the waters in the Yarmouk River available for potential downstream utilization were reduced significantly. Following contacts between the Syrians and the Jordanians a second agreement on the Yarmouk River was concluded in 1987. The second Agreement also called for the construction of a dam at Maquarin, called the Unity Dam, albeit with a reduced storage capacity resulting from the Syrian development plans. The Agreement also provided for the utilization of wells and springs and permitted the construction of dams on the tributaries of the River. The Maquarin Dam has not been constructed inter alia for lack of international financing.
The Jordan-Israel Peace Treaty makes no reference to the Syrian water uses and solely regulates the water uses between Israel and Jordan. However, any agreement between Jordan and Syria on the Yarmouk, which are the upstream users of the River, will have to take into account, at a minimum, Israel's rights as a downstream riparian on the Yarmouk River and is subject to the terms of the Jordan-Israel Peace Treaty which stipulates that artificial changes in the Yarmouk River can be made only by mutual agreement.
Factual Background
No final settlement regarding water has been reached between Israel and the Palestinians. As mentioned in the first part of this Article, the groundwater resources west of the Jordan River serve Israel as well as the Palestinian population of the West Bank. In this context two aquifers are to be mentioned:
a. The Mountain Aquifer, also known as the Yarkon-Taninim Aquifer which extends beneath the western part of the West Bank and the Coastal Area and has its natural outlets at the Rosh Ha'ayin and Taninim Springs;
b. The North-East (Shechem-Gilbo'a) Aquifer which extends from the Shechem (Nablus) area and north-east toward the Gilbo'a Mountain range and has its natural outlets in the Yizrael Valley.
The commonality of these two aquifers is the fact that part of their catchment areas are in the Judea-Samaria (West Bank) region and their outlets in pre-1967 Israel. Consequently any additional wells in or withdrawals from these aquifers in the mountainous regions is likely to reduce the quantity of water flowing at the natural outlets. Unsupervised increase of well drillings and subsequent withdrawals could seriously jeopardize the ability of the downstream water users to withdraw water hitherto used by them. An arrangement had therefore to be found whereby water needs in the regions under Palestinian control would be satisfied albeit without harming the Israeli uses with the understanding that most known water resources are fully utilized. The experience in Gaza has been that numerous unauthorized water drillings have taken place since the Israeli withdrawal causing harm to the groundwater aquifer of Gaza. The difference between Gaza and the West Bank is that overutilization of the Gaza Aquifer has effects on the Gazan users only whereas overutilization of the Mountain and North-East Aquifers will harm the lower-end users in Israel.
The discussions and agreements between Israel and the Palestinians on the usage of groundwaters in the areas under control of the Palestinian Authority have to be viewed against this factual background.
The Gaza-Jericho Agreement
The Agreement regarding the Gaza Strip and the Jericho region was concluded in Cairo on May 4, 1994.
The arrangements regarding water issues in Gaza and Jericho are relatively straightforward. The Agreement provides that all water and sewage systems and resources in the Gaza Strip and the Jericho Area serving the Palestinians shall be operated, managed and developed (including drilling) by the Palestinian Authority in a manner which shall prevent any harm to the resources. The Israeli Settlements and Military Installations shall continue to be served by the Israeli water company, Mekorot. Water to be supplied by Mekorot shall be paid for by the Palestinians and specific provisions therefor were concluded.
Since utilization of the Gaza groundwaters apparently does not affect groundwaters used by Israel no specific arrangements regarding the Gaza groundwaters were required. Groundwaters in Gaza are also relatively easily accessible because of the high water tables in the region. A yielding borehole can be dug practically overnight and does not require sophisticated equipment for operation. The media has reported that since the transfer of authority in Gaza hundreds of private, unauthorized, wells have been dug by the Palestinian population, causing thereby a reduction in the quantities of water available for consumption as well as a deterioration of the overall water quality due to the salinization of the wells.
In Jericho, the Palestinians obtained the right to utilize the local springs, conduits and wells which had also prior thereto served the town. Since these springs, like the Gaza groundwaters are at the lower end of the Aquifer, the utilization of these spring waters is likely not to affect other users.
The Interim Agreement
In the negotiations leading to the Interim Agreement (the socalled "Oslo 'B' Agreement"), the Parties sought a balance between principles and practicalities. The questions on the negotiating table apparently dealt with water rights in the West Bank as well as with the satisfying additional water needs of the Palestinians. They dealt with strictly controlling the usage of water as well as with additional quantities of drinking water to be supplied to the Palestinians. Israel was apparently also concerned that the Gaza experience of unauthorized water withdrawals should not repeat itself, since such could affect the Israeli usage.
The result of the deliberations is recorded in the Interim Agreement.
The Principles
The arrangement regarding water in the Interim Agreement is based on the following three principles, (1) an Israeli recognition of Palestinian Water Rights in the West Bank which is to be negotiated in the permanent status negotiations and settled in the Permanent Status Agreement relating to the various water resources, (2) a joint recognition that there is a need to develop additional water for various uses and (3) an agreement to coordinate the management of water and sewage resources and systems in the West Bank with the formation of bodies to execute such coordination.
In the first principle Israel "recognizes the Palestinian water rights in the West Bank." The principle, however, continues and provides that "These will be negotiated in the permanent status negotiations and settled in the Permanent Status Agreement relating to the various water resources." This section seems an obvious compromise between the Palestinian desire to obtain Israel's political recognition of its water rights, on the one hand, and Israel's position concerning these waters, which in addition to the general principle regarding the legal status of the groundwater, could have far-reaching practical negative effects on Israel's utilization of its groundwater resources. The first principle will, together with the recognition embodied in the second principle that there is a need to develop additional water resources for various uses, provide the framework for the permanent status negotiations in which the various water resources are likely to feature high on the priority list.
In the second principle Israel and the Palestinians recognize that additional water has to be developed for both of them. This principle recognizes that the currently available water resources are not sufficient for both parties and that additional waters for both of them are to be derived from new, hitherto undeveloped, sources.
The third principle acknowledges the interdependence of the water and sewage resources in the West Bank between Israel, Israeli users and the Palestinians and provides that coordinated management of water resources and sewage is required. The third principle further details a number of important elements of such coordination including the maintaining of existing quantities of utilization. The quantities of the existing extractions, utilizations and estimated potential of the three aquifers (Eastern Aquifer, North-Eastern Aquifer and the Yarkon-Taninim Aquifer) are specified in a separate schedule, part of the Interim Agreement.
Transfer of Authority
Israel undertook to transfer to the Palestinians the powers and responsibilities in the sphere of water and sewage related solely to the Palestinians hitherto held by the Israeli military government and the Civil Administration. These powers and responsibilities do not include issues which will be negotiated in the permanent status negotiations. It should be noted however that the powers and responsibilities are subject to the rights afforded to the Palestinians pursuant to the Interim Agreement. This will include, inter alia, the quantities which may be extracted and which are listed in a separate schedule as annual average quantities.
Additional Water
The Parties agreed that the future needs of the Palestinians in the West Bank are estimated to be 70-80 MCM. The Parties further agreed that the immediate need for fresh water for domestic use was 28.6 MCM and agreed to make the said quantity available during the interim period by specifying in detail the ways and means by which such be accomplished. Thus, Israel agreed, inter alia, to provide to the Palestinians additional supplies of water mainly for some of the towns in the West Bank and Gaza as well as to drill an additional well in the Jenin Area. The Palestinians took upon themselves to drill a well in the Nablus area and to develop additional resources from the Eastern Aquifer. Any water purchased is to be paid for at the full real cost to the supplier.
Joint Water Committee
A Joint Water Committee ("JWC" entrusted with the implementation of the water provisions of the Interim Agreement was established by the Parties. The JWC deals inter alia with the coordinated management of water resources while maintaining the existing utilization of the water resources (which was specified numerically in a separate schedule), and taking into consideration the quantities of additional waters for the Palestinians as agreed. The JWC deals also with the protection of the water and sewage resources and with the overseeing of the supervision and enforcement mechanism as well as with other functions relating to water and sewage. Thus, for example, the JWC has to approve all licensing and or drilling of new wells as well as the increase of extraction from existing water resources.
Supervision and Enforcement
The enforcement of the water provisions of the Interim Agreement has been the subject of extensive provisions.
Pursuant to a specific Schedule to the Interim Agreement the parties agreed to establish Joint Supervision and Enforcement Teams (JSET), each composed of at least two representatives of each side to monitor, supervise, enforce and rectify the implementation of the water provisions of the Interim Agreement concerning, inter alia, such matters as unauthorized drillings, unauthorized connections to the supply system and water uses. The JSETs were granted free and unrestricted access to all water systems, including privately owned ones, for the fulfillment of their functions.

Child poverty is at the top of the political agenda currently. The economic crisis is causing increased unemployment and hardship while putting pressure on national governments' budgets for financial support to children and families. 2010 is also the European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion. In addition the EU's Europe 2020 Strategy includes a proposal for a new flagship initiative, the European Platform Against Poverty. It was in this context, that on 4 and 5 November 2010, stakeholders and policy makers met at the Seventh Eurochild annual conference in Örebro, Sweden to discuss how to work together to end child poverty. Eurochild is a European network of organisations promoting the rights and welfare of children in Europe.
In the keynote address, Maria Larsson, Swedish Minister for Children and the Elderly set out the new government's view of family policy as an investment in society. She also emphasised Sweden's commitment to the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the government's ambition to make this a "living document in all our countries".
Financial supports aim to improve conditions and give families control over their lives, the Minister said, as well as helping parents to spend time with their children. Sweden has one of the best records in the EU in reducing child poverty through social transfers.
László Andor, Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion used a speech and interview delivered by video to lay out the vision for the European Platform Against Poverty as part of the Europe 2020 strategy. "We need to build strong alliances with Member States, NGOs and local governments", he said, "and make connections between the different policy areas, such as: inclusion, employment, health and education."
The plenary morning session covered the situation in three EU Member States. In his introduction, Hugh Frazer of the Department of Applied Social Studies at the National University of Ireland welcomed the EU's renewed commitment to tackling child poverty through the Europe 2020 agenda.
"It could not have been envisaged just six months ago that we should have a European poverty target", he said, "and addressing child poverty is vital in reaching that target." He noted that the huge variation in poverty levels across Member States means that all can learn from one another.
In his presentation, Tapio Salonen, Professor in Social Work at Linnaeus University, Sweden, looked at changing rates of relative and absolute measures of children at risk of poverty in Sweden. He made the point that measures of absolute poverty are often based on eligibility for social assistance, but rates then vary with changes in policy.
Only relative measures of the poverty line, such as the EU definition using 60% of median household income, are comparable across countries and across time. Sweden still had pockets of persistent child poverty, he said.
He concluded with two points: maintaining that child poverty would be three times higher in Sweden if not for the impact of public policies, and that the welfare policies of EU countries should never be seen as irreversible and taken for granted.
Heather Rushton, Deputy Director of the Centre for Excellence and Outcomes (C4EO) in Children and Young People's Services explained the challenge of addressing these issues in the UK. The United Kingdom has a poverty rate of 19%, relatively high for the EU, and had 2.8 million children living at risk of poverty in 2008/09. The legislative environment is also changing, following the passing of the Equalities Act and Child Poverty Act by the British parliament in 2010.
C4EO was set up as a virtual resource to bring together evidence and practices on nine themes related to children and young people's well-being. Ms Rushton ended by emphasising the value of sharing experience and suggesting that a virtual European centre for excellence would be a useful development.
Another academic perspective came from Wieslislawa Warzywoda-Kruszynska, Director of the Institute of Sociology at the University of Lodz in Poland, where poverty pockets are a serious problem. Poland has one of the highest child poverty rates in the EU, with 22% of children at risk of poverty. Some of the challenges to tackling this include poor housing and quality of education, she said, but a large number of Polish emigrants working abroad has also complicated the situation.
In the afternoon, workshops discussed examples of how municipalities, NGOs, families, children and researchers can work together to reduce child poverty.
Examples included civil society initiatives, such as the Single Parent and Action Network (SPAN) from Bristol in the UK. This family support NGO uses innovative partnership and participation to strengthen families and communities through a range of activities, from child care and parenting classes to advocacy and campaigning.
State support for parenting was presented based on an example in Antwerp, Belgium. The Kind & Gezin (Child & Family) agency provides family supporters in the Dutch-speaking half of the country. These outreach workers can build bridges between vulnerable families and the various health, social and justice services they come into contact with, in order to promote social inclusion.
Following a round table discussion the various possibilities for a way forward, featuring representatives of the European Commission, national governments, civil society and the education, health and social services sectors, the conference closed with its final conclusions.
These included recommendations to the European Union. One of these asks the EU to adopt a comprehensive and ambitious EU strategy on the rights of the child, and a Recommendation on child poverty and well-being. The Eurochild conference also asked Member States to strengthen cooperation and exchange at an EU level on child poverty and well-being, while maintaining budgets for children and families.
Eurochild itself also committed to raising awareness of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and promoting its influence on decision-making among policy makers, practitioners, parents and children.

Want To Date Somebody Who's Exactly As Hot As You?
The soon-to-launch website Findyourfacemate.com claims it can find you a date with somebody who looks eerily similar to (if not exactly like) you, by using Facebook's (scary big brother!) facial recognition technology, which zeroes in on nine points on your cara to create a unique profile for each person. I'm pretty sure that's how twincest pioneers Elijah and Milo Peters found each other. [photo: BelAmiOnline.com]
@Qjersey: Thanks Qjersey, I just spewed some of my coffee out my nose! Very droll — LOL!
Twincest is hot! I love those two :P
@Qjersey: I have always wanted to.
Does a narcissist need anything more than a mirror?
Aside from the bizarre narcissism this promotes,this is a stupid idea, mainly because (other than bizarre narcissists), most people are not attracted to themselves or people who look like them. The "average" person who cares about looks at all is going to want someone who looks BETTER than he does.
The tough part about that is finding someone who either doesn't care or who disagrees with you about who's better looking.
@AC Walker: Actually, most people ARE looking for others who look like themselves. It's why many couples appear to be related, and it's somewhat rare to see completely opposites in appearance. We like to see what we're used to; i.e., ourselves. White people marry white people, black people marry black people, etc.
They're used to seeing it, they like it.
@3DOLLARBILL: I don't know what crowds you hang out with, but at least here in New York the couples are a lot more diverse than you're suggesting. Sure, it's true that most people avoid "ugly," and a lot of people avoid fat, but that includes people who are themselves homely or overweight. And your assertion that "whites stick to whites" is kind of appalling and thankfully not true in the city.
@AC Walker: Actually, his statement is completely true "in the city," and everywhere else, too.
Yeah, wouldn't want them races mixin' or nuthin'. The species needs to be defended.
Thank goodness in my naivete I haven't encountered that personally. In fact, I can't think of a single couple I know or have known that "look related," except some of the clones walking around Chelsea. Who pretty much make my point for me.
@AC Walker: You said it, not me.
I want someone almost completely opposite of me. The only thing I want us to have in common is ample amounts of money and everything the male body should have. I LOVE the peter twins though.
Until cloning is viable, I'll have to stick with guys who look almost as good as me, instead as hawt as me.
OK: not really. My hunk-o-Swiss-cheese looks nothing like me except we're built alike from the waist down, so we can share pants.
But not at the same time….
I experience this all the time as an identical twin. The curiousity factor is always about some fantasy about how cool and sexy that would be if you were lovers. Not.

As of Tuesday, day 3,041 of the war in Afghanistan and day 2,495 of the war in Iraq …
By Jake Armstrong 02/04/2010
American military service members (5 more than last week) have died in Afghanistan since the war began in 2001, and 4,378 (1 more than last week) have died in Iraq since the war began in 2003, according to the US Defense Department.
pilgrims headed to Iraq's holiest Shiite shrine were killed Monday when a female suicide bomber detonated explosives hidden under her robe, the New York Times reported. 16 others were wounded in 2 separate attacks, despite pledges of enhanced security.
billion is how much President Barack Obama wants to fund this year's troop surge in Afghanistan, in addition to $159 billion for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in 2011, Agence France-Presse reported.
years is how long the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy on gays has been in place, and a senior military official said Gen. George Casey (pictured), the Army's chief of staff, believes the ban on gays openly serving shouldn't be lifted until the Iraq withdrawal is complete, The Wall Street Journal reported.

Date: circa 1897Medium: Oil on canvasSize: 114 x 74 cm
The character Mariana in William Shakespeare's 'Measure for Measure' is the jilted lover of Angelo, the acting governor of Vienna. Angelo abuses the powers of government invested in him by the duke, by offering to pardon Isabella's brother, Claudio, who has been sentenced to death for seduction, if she will sacrifice her honour to him. The duke, disguised as a friar, learns of Angelo's terrible conduct and contrives Claudio's escape. The ruse is for Isabella to consent to attend Angelo's house at midnight, but to send Mariana in her place, thereby foiling Angelo's designs whilst liberating Claudio. Alfred, Lord Tennyson, made Mariana the subject of two poems, 'Mariana' and its sequel 'Mariana in the South', dwelling on her abject despair as she waits in the lonely moated grange for her lover to return, while her surroundings decay around her. Her tears fall night and morning and she cannot draw pleasure from anything in heaven or on earth. Tormented by haunting voices from her past, she is overcome by weariness and yearns for death.

"The Heart is Tricky" Why We Choose Who We Choose in Relationships
From Justin Nutt comes The Good Guy, the Bad Guy, and the Ugly Truth, looks at the fact that when a man or woman is in more than one unhealthy relationship that comes to be seen as normal.
Through a blending a clinical knowledge written in an easy to understand style and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Psychodynamic exercises, Justin Nutt opens the door to a new life for individuals seeking healthy and loving relationships. In a conversational style he welcomes the reader to walk through the door he has opened. Through explanation of the desire to love and be loved, the way which an operant condition effect created by past relationships leads to selecting new mates which are unhealthy. The exercises, designed by Justin specifically for the book, help lead the reader one step at a time from the cold of the world filled with repeated unhealthy relationships into a world where healthy and loving relationships are the norm. These exercises help deal with the entire gambit of damage that can be created by unhealthy relationships;
According to Forbes.com Americans spent $11 billion in 2010 on self-improvement books, CDs, seminars, coaching and stress-management programs, and Marketdata Enterprises, stated that over the next three years, self-help is expected to grow 6.2 percent annually. With sales of this magnitude, the new perspective and insight that is provided in The Good Guy, the Bad Guy, and the Ugly Truth is sure to fill the much over looked niche in this area of publishing.
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly Truth is a book written as an explanatory work on the reason people end up with the same wrong type of person time and time again. The exercises which are included in the book were created to help people improve their self image along with shift thinking patterns where partner selection is concerned and the way a person views themselves and their past relationships.
Justin Nutt is also a clinical social worker and therapist currently working in Kansas City with a specialty in relationship counseling and identity issues connected to self-esteem and self-worth. Justin holds an undergraduate degree in social work from the Universityof Kansasand is a Master of Social Work Candidate at the Universityof Missouri: Kansas City. Justin is currently a member of the Missouri and National chapter of the NASW. His writing can be found online, in print, and in the upcoming issue of the Journal of Evidenced Based Social Work.
