Skip to comments.The 1990s are Back, Glenn Greenwald is Worried About Angry White Racist Militias
Posted on 02/24/2009 7:41:29 AM PST by Mobile Vulgus
Glenn Greenwald of Salon.com seems to think that Bill Clinton's nonexistent boogie men, "the militias," are back. Why are they back? Because all white people are angry, racists that are mad that Obama got elected, of course. What else could have dredged up this fantasy from the depths of the liberal's worst nightmares of the 1990s? Somehow, though, it's a bit hard to imagine Greenwald's main premise considering the fact that millions of those same white Americans Greenwald so fears actually voted for Obama.
But, in an effort to scold Fox News for airing Glenn Beck's recent "War Room" segments, Greenwald indulged in precisely the same sort of behavior he claims Beck does, namely that of making wild, unsubstantiated claims about the "other" side.
Greenwald imagines that militias are again on the rise because Barack Obama is "an exotic other occupying the White House" and because the U.S. is a "declining imperial power," these things upsetting to gun-owning, white folks, apparently. Greenwald also scoffs at the "militia movement" that Clinton talked about in the 1990s because they "completely vanished" once George Bush became president in 2000, that this shows they really had no principles he says.
But, here is what he ignores: that this so-called militia movement didn't really exist in the way that the conspiracy minded Clinton White House tried to pretend that it did. The reality is that the Clintons, they of the "great right wing conspiracy" theory, saw enemies under their beds at night. And its no wonder because the Clinton's bed had enemies IN it, much less under it...
Read the rest at Publiusforum.com...
Sounds like he might be "lost in the sauce"
You are going to see a lot of this now. The 10th Amendment stuff and the BC issue. Unless conservatives break the back of TV news by cancelling cable and sat tv then we are headed towards serfdom. The newspapers are going under and we can counter the web and radio but all the TV netwroks will shill for Obama including Fox. O can start lining up Americans with firing squads and the TV news would justify it.
10 million conservatives cancel TV service then they might start to wake up. Hit them in the wallet.
Is he related to the equally weird Leftist Mandy Greenwald, who now has an administrative job in the BO putsch?
"hordes of overwhelmingly white, middle-aged men from suburban and rural areas who convinced themselves they were defending the American way of life from the liberals and leftists.
Well, its a start.
"....same sort of behavior he claims Beck does, namely that of making wild, unsubstantiated claims about the "other" side. ...."
Ummmm, let's see, the MSM has been bashing every Christian, conservative and capitalistic ideal for at least 40 years!
Gosh, talk about double standards! The radicals are for free speech, only if they agree with it!
I hope I dont miss the militia meetings, I missed out on the Vast Right Wing conspiracy meetings./s
I wonder, Does Mr. Greenwald own a gun? It may come to the point where he wishes he had if these phantom "militias" actually exist.
First: Yes, Greenwald appears to be an idiot, or what.
Second: I, for one, did not "vanish" during the Bush administration. I fought anti-gun, anti-freedom, laws just as hard for the past 8 years as I did during the time of slick-Willie.
Original article discussed yesterday here:
What a clown.
Maybe a return by Mark from Michigan is in the offing. Wouldn't surprise me for some Marxist Dem to phony up a militia ID get a good, hard to locate shortwave and spout enough craziness to make everyone to the right of Nancy Pelosi look like Adolf Hitler. And would the network newsies pick up that story? You bet they would.
The real threat is muslim militias lurking in the sticks.
He must be going to stormfront too much.
"Other" and "Othering" are favorite terms of the Left, always applied to nonwhite "victims" of "racism."
The best was when several leftist sites denounced the "othering" of the Virginia Tech shooter.
These Marxist "useful idiots" can not believeshalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach Adonai
that it could be the lack of content of his character
and not the color of his skin.
— "the militias," are back. —
From his lips to God's ears, as the saying goes.
Hillary spilling the beans about the "vast right wing conspiracy" so the idea could be turned into a joke was a miracle. We were closer than some would believe.
It would be surprising if the militias did not return. We need them. Not that they can do much constructively by themselves, but they are a necessary element, a piece in the jigsaw puzzle, in turning this country around and saving it from the path it is on. Armed deterrence, and the demonstration of firm resolve it reflects, is going to be needed when push comes to shove.
Please tell me you didn't fall for this prancing schoolgirl's rhetorical tantrum.
His comparison of the right's reactions to Bush vs. Clinton is as breathtakingly vapid as those who maintain there is some internal contradiction to being pro-life and pro capital punishment.
No offense, but WTF are you talking about?
Did you even READ my post?
Just wait til you see a real militia Glenn.
None taken.
Your second point seemed to accept the validity of greenwhatever's accusation conservatives went to sleep during the bush administration.
By denying his claim I somehow validated it?
I clearly stated that I did NOT "go away" during the Bush administration.
So, how exactly does that statement validate his accusation that I "went away" during the Bush administration.
Please pardon the missing question mark.
I will try to make up for it by providing one random question mark in th?is post.
No, by saying "I, for one, did not 'vanish'" you could be understood to be contrasting yourself with those who supposedly *did* vanish.
That is a tacit acceptance of his duplicitous premise.
No, it is not.
It is OVERT acceptance of the fact that I am only able to speak for myself, and not for others.
PLEASE - Feel free to speak for YOURSELF; but do NOT accuse me of saying, thinking, or doing something that I was NOT saying, thinking or doing.
Whatever you say, sport.
Don't blame me if your writing can't keep up with your meaning.
You're the one with the reading comprehension problem, not I.

Fix Me Pumpkinseed Salad by GreenChef Sarma Melngailis
Posted By Sarma Melngailis On July 22, 2012 @ 4:16 am In GreenChef Foodie Talk,Monkie Journals | 5 Comments
On our menu it's actually called the Pumpkinseed and Herb Salad, but otherwise referred to by me as my favorite breakfast salad. I wake up craving this salad. And yes, it's meant to fix me. I started eating this specific green mix because I was told that I probably need more of the sexy mineral zinc in my system, among other things. I haven't been feeling well (at all) so this salad is part of my healing plan. My books are all about how raw food makes you feel amazing. I used to feel amazing. Why do I now feel like shit? And how can I admit that? (Doing it now). More on the healing plan as soon as I can find more time to write about it. Back to zinc. Pumpkinseeds happen to be very high in zinc. And so my love affair with pumpkinseeds has been rekindled.
Years ago in another (not raw) restaurant, I put a pumpkinseed salad on the menu: lolo rosso and red oak lettuces, shaved bosc pear, shaved pecorino, toasted salted pumpkinseeds and pumpkinseed lemon dressing. While I love delicate fluffy greens like lolo rosso and red oak, what I really can't get enough of are kale and herbs. I could eat bathtubs of kale.
So, I started making myself this salad at the restaurant. Kale plus a bunch of parsley leaves, cilantro leaves, and torn mint leaves. Add hempseeds (full of omega-3's… good for so many reasons!). Then toss the whole thing in a dressing made of pumpkinseed oil and lemon juice, and plenty of salt (ideally Himalayan crystal salt). You can also use a mix of olive (or other) oil with the pumpkinseed oil since the flavor is strong, and good quality raw organic pumpkinseed oil happens to be super expensive. (ours comes from Austria, raw and organic). I love maxium pumpkinseed flavor so I use just that oil and lemon (and salt). Top this green pile with a handful of pumpkinseed macadamia parmesan.
How and where do you get pumpkinseed macadamia parmesan? Or make it? In Raw Food Real World (page 285) there's a recipe for pine nut parmesan, and we make it (or a version of it) at the restaurant. It's really easy, but you need a dehydrator. The recipe in the book , as titled, calls for pine nuts, but since those recently became more expensive than gold, we've had to tweak this recipe, as well as a few others that previously featured golden pine nuts. Including the pine nut ricotta in our lasagna. After trying a few different variations, we found that mixing pumpkinseeds and macadamia nuts makes the best substitute. Using all of one or the other is okay, but a mix of the two we liked best. If you want to make your own parmesan, soak raw pumpkinseeds and macadamia nuts for a few hours. Add to a food processor with some water, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and salt. Dehydrate till dry and crisp. YUM. If you're too lazy or busy or otherwise unprepared to make the parmesan, you can toss plain raw pumpkinseeds in a bit of pumpkinseed oil, salt, and a generous sprinkle of nutritional yeast. This will give you a similar flavor. Nutritional yeast is an amazing vegan source of B-12, by the way. Another reason I like it in my healing salad. Yes, this post is full of links.
Now… if you order this salad at the restaurant, it comes with a mix of greens and kale, since most people find straight kale kind of harsh and prefer a mix. The lovely photo here was taken by the even lovelier Erica Graff, who writes discoveringraw.com where she posts lots of One Lucky Duck dessert porn. Or, "eye candy" as she more tactfully calls it.
Why do I need a salad to heal me? It's just part of the process. After asking me 1,001 questions via phone from the UK, my friend Elwin of lionheartherbs gave me loads of good advice as well as a shipment of tonic herbs with which to make tea. I've been drinking it daily. To Elwin, I could admit anything, and he understood… understands. Finally. He understood that if he told me to take a vacation, start doing yoga, or meditating, I would have hung up, and climbed back in bed. Not that I shouldn't do all of those things, but… he understands what it's like being caught in the spiral of sleep-deprivation. Even with the best organic raw food available to me, it seems that I got myself into a place such that no matter what I do, most of the time I'm tired. Various bad habits which I'll come clean about later, plus too much stress. I'm smart enough to know stress is hurting. Just need help in sorting it out within the currently stressful context in which I got myself into. Thank you Elwin. Thank you Anastasia for harmonyum healing. Thank you Rodrigo for bombarding me with helpful words/books. Thank you Kurt for being my favorite asshat. Thank you Annie for EFT. Thank you to my amazing boyfriend for eucalyptus hot water foot baths followed by coconut butter foot rubs. And lots of patience. And more. And thank you to everyone at the restaurant and duck for taking care of business. And while I'm at it, eternally grateful to the world of twitter and facebook people, who feed me with support and encouragement (and gave me loads of advice and heart warming sweet sympathy when my kitty cat love of my life decided to get sick and then leave this dimension). Now this sounds like an oscar acceptance speech and the music has started to play over me. Thank you and goodnight!
P.S. I know I should take a vacation, more "me time", spa time, yoga, etc… but I promise, when I'm able to, I will do it. In the meantime, I'm just eating lots of breakfast salads, trying to figure it all out (will share when I do), and charging (crawling?) onward. XOXO :)

All I can say is.. "OMG"!!!! Heritage Field is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!
The Yankee fans who were there loved it, the children and parents of the community who were there yesterday loved it, everybody who was there yesterday was in awe over it!!!
I used to say that Heritage Field was a "win/win" situation for the South Bronx. Well, O take that back now.. It's a "win/win/win/win/win/win/win/win" situation!!!!
It was so incredible to walk around (inside) this beautiful park, where Yankee legends of the past played in their pinstripes. (The goose bumps are finally going away this morning... lol)

When a cat begins to cough and appears to have difficulty breathing, it can be unnerving for a pet owner. If the coughing is not a one-time occurrence, owners should contact their veterinarian as soon as possible to get to the bottom of the issue.
Asthma in cats and bronchitis are two common chronic conditions that could cause these types of clinical signs. These conditions are categorized as obstructive lung diseases because they result in swelling and narrowing of the airways in the lungs. The clinical signs of these conditions can become severe and may even be life-threatening. If your cat is exhibiting these signs, it is important to see your veterinarian and get appropriate testing performed.
Your veterinarian can test for these and other conditions by performing x-rays, a complete blood count, fecal exam and urinalysis. As breathing issues may sometimes be clinical signs of feline leukemia and heartworm disease in cats, your veterinarian may test for these diseases as well. Typically, feline asthma and bronchitis are triggered by certain stimuli, such as cigarette smoke, dander, dust mites, pollen, mold and perfumes. Some breeds, such as Siamese cats, are at higher risk for developing these problems, according to VCA Animal Hospitals, but any cat can develop asthma.
Treatment for asthma and bronchitis usually includes the administration of steroids and bronchodilators which are geared toward decreasing the inflammation and opening or dilating the airways. More recently, inhalant treatment for feline asthma has become very popular because of its effectiveness and ease of administering the medication. Environmental control is also important to limit your cat's exposure to allergens which might trigger an asthma attack. Air filters, dust-free litter, hypoallergenic bedding and other strategies can help improve clinical signs in asthmatic cats. Your veterinarian will determine the severity of your cat's asthma and the best treatment approach.

Dialogue Over Gun Violence Must Continue
To the Readers' Forum:
As one who believes that we must take action to limit gun violence while still preserving Second Amendment rights to allow good and decent people to possess firearms, the recent action of the senators who voted "No" on a modified plan for gun safety greatly concerns me.
Whatever the reasons that 46 senators voted "No," one consideration was the fierce opposition by the leadership of the NRA who promised political retribution against the supporters of the plan. Vocal citizens from pro gun states also expressed their displeasure to their senators and doomed the proposed legislation; even after a recent survey indicated that 86 to 90 percent of the American people supported an extended background check.
It is a difficult and challenging issue. It is my belief that citizens of the United States must continue a national dialogue on violence. How can we limit the ability of felons, criminals and the mentally ill to possess guns? What is appropriate to do for additional school safety? What is the role of violent movies and video games in violence? What is the responsibility of those in the media who spew soundbites which agitate but do nothing to solve the issue?
Why do so many people not trust their government? A statement was made at a recent town meeting sponsored by our congressman that the speaker wanted guns to protect himself from the federal government. You also often hear the same comment made in our local media. (All government officials should be very careful and wise about their actions and do everything possible to gain the trust of all people).
When an average of 80+ people are killed daily by firearms, isn't it time that all of us, citizens who have firearms, citizens who don't have firearms, religious groups, community organizations, law officials, governmental officials and every citizen in the United States work together to try to solve the issus of gun violence? Every citizen should make his/her feelings known to their government officials. There are too many tragedies happening in the U.S. We must take action!

Mr. Speaker, more than a quarter of a million seniors in Canada are living in poverty today. However, the good news is that something can be done about it. For about $700 million a year we could put an end to seniors poverty, ensuring that no senior lives below the poverty line.
This could be done by an immediate increase to the guaranteed income supplement paid to seniors. We need a guaranteed income supplement that would actually guarantee an acceptable standard of living.
New Democrats believe that seniors deserve to live with dignity rather than in poverty. In my own province of Newfoundland and Labrador nearly two-thirds of seniors rely on old age pension and guaranteed income supplement benefits as their sole source of income. Think of the great step forward it would be for them and for seniors across the country, and for Canada as a whole to put an end to seniors poverty.
We call on the government to improve the guaranteed income supplement and bring an end to seniors poverty now.

Jacques Gourde Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, QC
Mr. Speaker, yesterday evening, the air was electric as the 97th edition of the Grey Cup took place. For many people, it was an opportunity to spend some quality father-son time or get together with family and friends.
Like their fans, the Montreal Alouettes headed to Calgary hoping for nothing less than to win a seventh cup, which they did, thrilling supporters by bringing the Grey Cup back to Montreal.
The game was dramatic and exciting. In the fourth quarter, it looked as though the Alouettes would go down to defeat, but a stunning turnaround gave the team the chance to battle back and win.
I also want to congratulate the members of the Saskatchewan Roughriders on their competitive spirit. The final score, which was a close as it could possibly be, proves that you must never lose hope, because perseverance paid off for our Alouettes.
See you at the Grey Cup parade this week.

Scott Andrews Avalon, NL
Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pride to rise in the House today and speak about Fertile Future, a cause embraced by a great friend of the House and friend of mine, Heidi Bonnell, who is a survivor herself, and has again had a few challenging weeks this fall. Our thoughts and prayers have been with her.
Every year, at least 10,000 Canadians between the ages of 20 and 44 are diagnosed with cancer. An estimated 80% of them will survive. Fertile Future, a Canadian charity, works to provide these patients and oncology professionals with vital information about fertility preservation so that young cancer patients can have the fullest life possible after the disease. For many patients, this life includes being able to have biological children.
I invite all members of the House to join me in congratulating the first ever Hope Live event committee for its hard work in support of Fertile Future, an event to be held tonight at the GCTC here in Ottawa. Hope Live is honoured to have members of the Parliament Hill community gather with Newfoundland stars and national private and public sector leaders to support this great cause to provide hope.

World AIDS Day 2009

Luc Malo Verchères—Les Patriotes, QC
Mr. Speaker, more than ever on the eve of World AIDS Day 2009 it is important to continue raising awareness about this disease and to fight the prejudice and complacency surrounding HIV-AIDS.
In Canada, it is estimated that between 2,300 and 4,500 new cases of HIV are reported every year. In 2005, the total of infected persons stood at between 48,000 and 68,000. Roughly 27% of people do not know they have contracted the virus.
Among those infected, we should note that the number of heterosexuals and women, particularly those aged 15-19, is on the rise.
It is important to fight prejudice, which not only deters people at risk from getting tested, but which also contributes to the stigmatization and isolation of those infected. We have to continue to raise awareness because although treatments are extending the life expectancy of people who are sick, the fact remains that this is an incurable disease.
Today the Bloc Québécois wants to commend the efforts of all the agencies that work so tirelessly on this issue.

Mr. Speaker, last Thursday we learned of the passing of Nelson Leeson, president of the Nisga'a Lisims government.
Mr. Leeson was a strong leader and visionary who distinguished himself serving his people. He worked tirelessly to close the social and economic gaps between aboriginal people and other Canadians. He was at the forefront of treaty making in British Columbia and he was instrumental in negotiating the Nisga'a final agreement, the first modern treaty in B.C.
Earlier this month, the Nisga'a membership ratified a national precedent-setting private land initiative on Nisga'a settlement lands, which Mr. Leeson promoted. His contributions to the implementation of modern treaties in Canada will be missed.
On behalf of the Government of Canada, I extend my deepest sympathies at this difficult time to the family, friends and colleagues of Mr. Leeson. Our thoughts are with Mr. Leeson's family and the people of the Nisga'a Nation.

Pablo Rodriguez Honoré-Mercier, QC
Mr. Speaker, last Friday we lost one of the pioneers of Quebec cinema.
Gilles Carle devoted his entire life to his passion and left behind a body of work that resonated with entire generations. He began making movies in the early 1960s and his work includes dozens of feature films which celebrated and paid tribute to some of his favourite themes, including rural life and the lives of everyday people.
He received many awards and distinctions, including the Prix Albert-Tessier for his contribution to film and the Governor General's Award.
His talent and reputation know no boundaries. He was a giant among giants.
Gilles Carle suffered from Parkinson's disease for a number of years. His partner, Chloé Sainte-Marie, was by his side throughout his long battle. She showed extraordinary courage and devotion. We offer our most sincere condolences to Ms. Sainte-Marie and their family. Farewell Gilles Carle, you will be missed.

Mr. Speaker, we were saddened to learn of the death on Saturday of Gilles Carle, who passed away in Granby at the age of 81 after a long battle with Parkinson's disease.
A member of the Order of Canada since 1999, Mr. Carle is seen as a pioneer in Quebec cinema. This true cultural ambassador made more than 60 films, including La mort d'un bûcheron and Les Plouffe.
Mr. Carle represented Quebec a number of times in Cannes, a sure sign of the calibre of his work.
We will never forget Mr. Carle, whose films represent a rich legacy for Quebec.
We offer our condolences to his devoted partner, Chloé Sainte-Marie, to his family and to the friends who stood by him faithfully during his illness.
I would like to thank Gilles Carle for his incredible contribution to Quebec cinema, and for the lasting impression he made on Quebec culture.
Air Passengers' Bill of Rights
Statements By Members
November 30th, 2009 / 2:10 p.m.
Jim Maloway Elmwood—Transcona, MB
Mr. Speaker, last week the United States transportation department imposed the first penalties in North America for tarmac delays, collecting $175,000 from three airlines, including Continental Airlines, for leaving 47 passengers stranded on a plane for six long hours in Rochester, Minnesota. This sends a clear signal to the rest of the airline industry that companies must respect the rights of air travellers in the United States.
A week ago, the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg ruled that passengers are entitled to compensation for flight delays, the same as for cancellation and overbooked flights under the air passenger rules that have been in place in the European Union for the last five years.
Will Air Canada and Air Transat stop flying into the United States and Europe because of fear of these new penalties?
When will the government get out of the pockets of the airline industry and support Bill C-310, the air passengers' bill of rights?

Mr. Speaker, following the Liberals' ugly attacks on the men and women who protect our country, our Prime Minister defended our soldiers, but the opposition leader quickly denounced the expression of support for them.
Our Prime Minister said that Canadians from coast to coast are proud of our soldiers and support them. Apparently, his words angered the opposition leader, who seems to think that the Prime Minister's Office has no place defending soldiers. But is it the Liberal Party's place to attack our soldiers?
The Liberals even used allegations against our soldiers to raise funds for their party. That is shameful, and the Liberals should apologize.
Liberal members need to understand that Quebeckers and Canadians are proud of our courageous men and women in uniform.

Mr. Speaker, Gilles Carle has died. I knew him. He left Quebeckers a huge body of work that is truly their own.
I would like to pay tribute to this unique Quebec filmmaker, painter and poet who had an indomitable imagination and a wealth of talent.
A body that became a prison slowed him down and his heart eventually failed him, but his creativity remains.
It used to be impossible to talk about her without him, and now it is impossible to talk about him without her.
I would like to pay tribute to my friend Chloé.
She fought tirelessly to make others understand that as long as a heart is living, it wants to beat near loved ones, surrounded by love.
The Maison Gilles Carle, a model of social solidarity, will survive.
I will conclude with the words of Gilles Carle, as sung by Chloé:
The candle of life is burning.
Our time is running out.
Farewell, my friend, farewell life.

Mr. Speaker, it was all football all the time this weekend. First, I want to congratulate the Queen's University Golden Gaels, from Kingston, and the University of Calgary Dinos for making it to Quebec City for the finals. My biggest congratulations go to Queen's for winning the Vanier Cup for the first time in 17 years.
In fact, Canadian football fans were treated to two extraordinary finals. I want to congratulate the Roughriders and the Alouettes who put on quite a show last night.
With a fourth quarter full of suspense that saw both teams fighting with courage and determination, bar stools and chesterfields from coast to coast were vacated time and time again as fans leapt to their feet.
Our Montreal Alouettes showed us that perseverance can push us to perform miracles and that if a week in politics can be a lifetime, four seconds can make or break a football season.
The Alouettes are the Grey Cup champions this year. For the sixth time, our Alouettes were cheering last night, saying, "I love Montreal".
Let me tell you, Mr. Speaker, that Montreal loves them right back.

Mr. Speaker, let us talk about leadership.
Our government, led by our Prime Minister, supports the men and women of Canada's armed forces. Yesterday the Prime Minister said:
Let me just say this: living as we do, in a time when some in the political arena do not hesitate before throwing the most serious of allegations at our men and women in uniform, based on the most flimsy of evidence, remember that Canadians from coast to coast to coast are proud of you and stand behind you, and I am proud of you, and I stand beside you.
What was theLiberal leader's response? According to the Liberal leader, standing behind our armed forces is beneath the office of the Prime Minister. It is breathtaking.
The Prime Minister must stand beside our men and women in uniform. Anyone who thinks that is below the office does not understand what that office is all about.
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Michael Ignatieff Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, evidence of torture has now been given to a journalist and to former army officers. This is a disinformation campaign. The government reveals its secrets to those it chooses but hides the truth from Canadians.
When will the government stop hiding the truth? When will it give the evidence to the parliamentary committee and to Canadians?
Oral Questions
2:15 p.m.
Ottawa West—Nepean
John Baird Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, if there is any disinformation campaign going on here, it is the disinformation, innuendo, second-hand information being spread by the Liberal Party. Those members are only too happy to spread half-truths and this type of innuendo about our troops. Last week we heard from well-respected public servant David Mulroney, who said there was no evidence of abuse.
When will the Liberal Party stop attacking the actions of our men and women in uniform?

Hunting apartments after moving from one place to another is not as easy as many people would think. If you are looking for Raleigh apartment rentals during the peak seasons, you will find it difficult to find one quickly. The most important thing here is to find an apartment that fits within your budget and is located perfectly. That is why it is very important to think about your options before you decide to move from an apartment you currently live in. There are several ways you could adopt to pursue your search. Bear in mind that Raleigh is one of the biggest cities in the US and the standard of living from one location to another may vary highly. This is also applicable to the rent of apartments.
Listed below are some practical tips that you could follow when looking for rental apartments in Raleigh. When it comes to choosing the best apartments that are available in this region, it is really important to consider three or four neighborhoods before you finalize a deal. As discussed above, the price of the rent may vary in specific locations. You can search for several options that offer all the amenities you want, but have a lower rental rate. It is also important to read all the terms and conditions listed in the lease agreement. Just don't look into it, instead read it carefully, or else you will face a lot of inconveniences later in your coming days. It is also important to ensure that you understand all the points listed in the lease.
In the case of if you are unemployed or a student, you will need to find a cosigner to get the best rental apartments Raleigh NC. This also applies to people who have a very bad credit history. When it comes to renting an apartment, you are really free to negotiate with the owner about as many aspects including the duration of the stay, rent, and other important things such as backyard space, apartment decoration and more. It is always better to search for apartments during the off season i.e. in winter. You can easily negotiate with the owner, and he will be willing to lower the rent accordingly. During this time of the year, it is possible to find better rental units with five to ten percent fewer rates compared to the summer season.
As mentioned above, it is not an easy task to find the best deal. Lots of people would love to rent a property for a long period. They would also want to decorate the house the way they want. To decorate it in your way, you will need the permission of the owner. Note that you should include this point clearly in the lease agreement. Also, you should learn some apartment decoration tips to make things possible. Renting apartments also include finding the best place in terms of security. Also, if you are living with a family, you will need to find an apartment very close to school and parks for recreational activities.

Avant-garde cut with funky cropped bangs
The bowl cut takes on a radical edge in this women's hairstyle. The entire crown of straight black hair is cut bowl-style halfway around the head. Any remaining hair below the cut is shaved clean away, revealing clean, white scalp. On the forehead, a semblance of a fringe is created by an angled projection from the neat edge of the bowl. All the hair is combed straight down all around, to be the canvass of pink and red dyes. The colors are applied sparingly and in thin stripes, except for the triangular portion serving as a fringe, which is entirely washed in pink.

Share Your Reflection

When one has a transrational encounter with the Divine,
When one has a transrational encounter with the Divine, what is one to do with it? Well I guess interpret it. What does what just happened to me mean? Pentecostalism is but one interpretation of such an encounter. I am not saying that the Pentecostal interpretation is not valid, but just one of many. It seems that when talking about this stuff we, myself included, mistake our interpretation of God for God Him/Herself. It is like we pull out our spiritual raodmap and mistake the map for the teritory. Thanks.

I think, in many ways, if Palin becomes vice president it
I think, in many ways, if Palin becomes vice president it will finally shatter that religious glass ceiling in America, which historically has maligned, marginalized and mocked Pentecostals. That said, I think some of Palin's theology about "God's will" and "God's plan" to be both interesting and a little discomforting, and I don't necessarily think it's because of her Pentecostal faith.

Given the religion-based positions of VP nominee Sarah
Given the religion-based positions of VP nominee Sarah Palin, we at JewsOnFirst.org were a bit disconcerted hearing Krista, in her remarks intro'ing the program, say that Pentecostals are not "fundamentalists," without qualifying that to say that some share a relgion-based political agenda with "fundamentalist" Christians.
I think great inroads were
I think great inroads were made at General Council 4 years ago when Zollie Smith, an African-American, was elceted director of U.S. Missions. And Herbert Cooper, an African-American A/G senior pastor in OK City, preached one night at GC 2009 in Orlando.My home A/G church actually mirrors our comunity pretty well. We have a growing group of African-American members, several of whom are in visible ministry positions (choir, worship team, ushers, teachers). We have a group of about 100 Latinos, who have their own Spanish-language Sunday School class and Wednesday night Bible study, and a monthly fellowship night, but their children and youth are integrated in the regular children's and student minsitries, and we have simultaneous translation on FM radio for the Sunday morning worship.And we have a handful of Asian-Americans. We're much closer in reflecting the percentages in our city than we were 10 years ago.Daniel, I'm not sure I would classify the language districts as a separate authority structure. Sure, the Spanish-language districts have geographical overlap with the English districts, and there are multiple Spanish districts because of the size of the Latino constituency, but we also have German, Brazilian/Portuguese, Slavic, and Korean districts, which may not be as noticeable because they are language districts that cover the whole country, not just a geographical region like the Spanish districts do.
I feel it does matter what
I feel it does matter what religious you are its only one God. We study Bapstim and with Jehovah witness and now we are Pentecostal and until this day I really didn't understand why my mom had us to study different religious I was only teach by my grandmom that it is only one God and no other God

While some of us are still flaunting our 1TeraByte external hard drive, Kingston, the data storage maker has decided to take things to the next level by making 1TB as portable as possible by bringing it to a flash drive size known as the DataTraveler HyperX Predator 3.0.
That effectively puts paid to the time when all we had on flash drives were a couple of Megabytes which was less than a decade ago when some were still sporting diskettes.
The DataTraveler HyperX Predator 3.0 has read/write speeds of up to 240MB/s and 160MB/s, boasting SuperSpeed USB 3.0 certification.
The drive is available in 512GB capacity right now, while the 1TB version is expected to hit the market later this quarter. The price for the 512GB is a whopping $1,750 (approximately N 280, 000), meaning the 1TB variant will likely be too expensive for the average customer.
However, for users who do not require as much space, Kingston has also launched slower and smaller USB drives, with capacities of 32GB and 64GB and read/write speeds of 150MB/s and 70MB/s.
If you had the resources to purchase the 1TB flash drive, would you?

When a band publicist patched me through to Maynard James Keenan on the phone, I first asked him where he was calling from. "Unfortunately, Los Angeles," he said dryly. This was the Maynard I was expecting, a man known for a song that openly wishes the West Coast would fall into the ocean with the refrain, "Learn to swim, see you down in Arizona Bay."
I've followed his career closely over the years — I've seen Tool more times than I can count — and Keenan has always seemed like a tough interview subject. He's not evasive, per se, but he's definitely reluctant to place labels on his forms of expression — the possible exception being his winery, Caduceus Cellars (located in Arizona, of course).
I decided to just let Keenan label what he would. Here's our conversation.
Over the years, Puscifer has sort of been an evolution as a project. How would you describe it in its current incarnation? Is the answer to "What is Puscifer?" different now than at its inception?
"No, it still is a moving target in a way, because it involves so many elements. It's not just music; it's kind of joined at the hip with winemaking, merchandise, performance, video, animation … eventually probably some sort of graphic novel. It's always kind of been a moving target, and it continues to be. Although the one thing that now is more consistent with it is it's grounded in a place (Arizona) rather than moving about."
What is it about Arizona?
"In a way, it's a return home for me. I grew up in very small towns and rural settings. I've been in Arizona now for 16 years. Clearly that's where I'm supposed to be. I've spent more time there than almost anywhere else. It's a small community, farming … very clear headspace. And the desert, in generally, is a very good place to find yourself. Or, you know, lose yourself."
Similarly the live show is notoriously tough to define — I've seen it and I don't know exactly what to call it. What do you call it?
"Now that you've seen it — and I'm sure you've seen interviews where I'm asked to describe it, now you have a little more empathy. I don't know what to tell you that's not going to give things away. But also if I was going to give things away, I don't really know what to tell you. You just kind of have to see it … I'm not really being evasive, although I am being protective of certain surprises and certain elements. Even if I wanted to give it away, it's kind of hard … It's like describing a painting. Go look at it."
Who should come to a Puscifer show and who should not?
"People with preconceived notions or expectations shouldn't bother coming. If you're closed-minded, we don't really need you there. We're looking for people who are willing to put down their camera phones and remember how to tell a story, because you can't really retell that story if you're not paying attention. You rely on your external devices to remember what happened. If you lose that external device, you can't tell because you were too busy messing with it to actually be there with us, and to recount what happened. To be able to observe, interpret and report. We like people who are observers. And storytellers. We want people to be absorbed and inspired and just go do something."
There was always kind of a purposeful enigma to this band. What was the reaction to the early tour when audiences didn't know what to expect? How has that changed with the last tour?
"It will most likely be a different show in Ohio, because if we've done one of those shows, we tend to rotate them now. We'll go back to some of the more tongue-in-cheek vaudevillian stuff that we've done before, just to kind of break it up in a different setting to kind of give people a different experience."
Throughout your career there's been almost a playful antagonism with certain segments of your audience. Kind of a "f--- you if you don't get the joke." Is that fair?
"Yeah. Are you familiar with Phil Hendrie? He does a radio show out of Los Angeles. He has a show where he does most of the voices, and he'll have a topic that will come up and people that are driving around don't realize when they start calling in, the ridiculous things when he's arguing with some complete moron with some crazy platform that they're trying to discuss on the air. The audience doesn't realize that that's him arguing with himself at two different places. So they call in and they get caught up in this afternoon talk show drama not even knowing that they're the victims.
But he describes his audience as, he has his audience and he has his fans. And the show is for the fans. Because the people who know what's going on are listing to these poor saps calling in thinking that they're actually arguing with a real person. (laughs) It's fantastic.
I guess I could say that is true of my projects. We have our audience, and we have our fans."
What's the difference?
"I have no idea. That's the problem."
Similarly you tend to perform live with some form of separation from the audience. Makeup, costume, video projection — what's the reasoning?
"Because I think that every collective that you witness occurring on a stage, it's not about any one of the individuals. There's something that's happened that's kind of put all that stuff together into a much bigger result … some alchemy. It's like saying the water is the most important part of pasta. What about the salt? What about the flour? What about the olive oil?
It's not a separate event as far as an individual being responsible, so the more you can take the individual out of the picture and just witness the thing that's happening I think is more important for you as a viewer. To not attach this energy to a particular individual.
It's a collective experience. You know, I enjoy James Brown … but it's James Brown."
You've always had ties with the comedy world — your connection to Bill Hicks, involvement with Mr. Show, etc. Is the comedy aspect of Puscifer something you've always wanted to explore?
"Since the mid-'90s, really. Puscifer started in comedy clubs as multimedia presentations and kind of variety shows — before even Mr. Show occurred. Initially, when working with Green Jello, which ended up changing its name to Green Jelly with the 'Three Little Pigs' thing … Before I actually got started with Puscifer, Green Jello did 'A History of Rock 'n' Roll According to Green Jello' … It was a Halloween performance at Hollywood High with Tiny Time. I got to be Johnny Rotten that night.
So it kind of started way back then. '92 …'91, and then it kind of evolved into those club settings where it was more of the comedy setting than the rock setting."
Where do Puscifer songs come from? How is that place different from your other projects?
"Right from the start with Puscifer stuff, the music is important, but there's other things to consider. But, generally speaking, the conversation I'm going to have with you is going to different from the conversation I am going to have with the next press person.
So there's this idea that I have this big basket of ideas, and I decide where I'm going to take them and drop them off. That's not what happens. I'm standing in a room with these other people and we have a conversation, and the idea comes out of that conversation with those people. I then go into a different space and have a different conversation. So it's not like I'm coming up with ideas and deciding where I'm going to place them. The ideas come in that conversation, with those people, in that space."
I notice later this month you'll be performing a festival with both Puscifer and Tool. Is that the first time you've had multiple projects performing that close together?
"The very first band ever to perform at Coachella was, in the morning on the main stage, was A Perfect Circle. And then I played with Rage Against the Machine at night and then the next night, Tool closed the show."
Is there a different headspace for those?
"Absolutely. You don't have to like actively switch them. It just happens naturally because you've already laid out the framework of where these rhythms take you. And you just fall into line. You do your part."
Do you feel there's a segment of your audience that wants you sort of frozen in time from your past work? People who want you to remain what you were, say, 15 years ago.
"Mm-hmm. And 15 pounds ago. Good luck … y'know, I'm almost 50. You can't really expect that. And if you do, then that's your problem, because expectations pave the road to hell.
Get with us. Find out who we are now. And good thing we recorded all that stuff for you. There you have it."
Anything you'd like to add?
"Yeah, just let people know that no matter how weird things feel, keep in mind, take a deep breath and it's all gonna work out."

Area Teens Face Charges
An early morning traffic stop led to multiple charges against three area teenagers.
Jamestown police on Wednesday around 2 a.m. stopped a vehicle near the intersection of Briggs and Institute streets for making an improper right turn. The driver, Alexis M. Pratt, 19, of Jamestown was found to be intoxicated, and was taken into custody.
Passengers in the vehicle, Joey D. Stutzman, 18, of Jamestown and Allison P. Langworthy, 19, of Lakewood were allegedly found to be in possession of open containers of alcohol while in the vehicle.
Stutzman and Langworthy also were taken into custody, and charged with public consumption of alcohol, a police report said.
The teenagers were taken to Jamestown City Jail without incident. An investigation later found Pratt had lied to officers about her identity.
Pratt was charged with driving while intoxicated, DWI with a blood alcohol content of .08 percent or greater, false personation and improper right turn.
All three were awaiting arraignment in Jamestown City Court.

Spanish-Style Noodles with Chicken and Sausage
- 3/4 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
- 1/2 pound sweet or hot Italian sausage, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried marjoram or oregano
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 medium onions, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 bay leaves
- 3/4 cup tomato puree
- 12 ounces spaghetti, broken into 3-inch pieces
- Grated manchego or parmesan cheese, for garnish (optional)
Bring a large kettle or pot of water to a boil. Season the chicken and sausage with 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper and the marjoram. Heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over high heat. Add the chicken and sausage and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.
Add the onions, garlic, bay leaves and tomato puree to the pot. Reduce the heat and cook, stirring, until the oil turns deep red and the onions are tender, 6 to 8 minutes. If the onions are sticking, add a splash of water and scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
Add the spaghetti to the onion mixture and stir-fry until golden, about 6 minutes. Add the chicken and sausage and enough boiling water to cover the pasta by 1/2 inch. Simmer, stirring once or twice, until the pasta is al dente and the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with cheese, if desired.

So I've noticed 'our chapter' is not very conversational.
I am curious, where is everyone planning on riding in 2012?
Considering this is my first season, I should be hitting up Maybury a lot because its minutes from my apartment (Northville). Suggestions on where and where not to ride around this area would be cool.
My buddy has a cottage by Indian Lake, right around the Lake Orion area. By his cottage, there are several trails he has told me. Anyone every rode around this area?? I am not sure of the name but so probably not a big help..

That gives me: Mike - Bob - Steve - Joe -

Using nature to bridge gap between combat and home life
The Adirondack region has a long and extensive history as a health resort. Although the region has long been considered an ideal setting for people suffering from tuberculosis and a variety of similar respiratory ailments, it also has a proud history as a peaceful place to rest, recuperate and become reinvigorated.
Similar to many other rural regions in the country, most North Country folks understand and relate to the traditions and honor of serving their country.
As the nation continues to rapidly lose the last remaining members of the Greatest Generation, it is easy to forget the needs of our current generation of veterans.
After what they have been through, it's only natural they would like to return to a calm and comfortable environment. It wouldn't be the first time war veterans sought comfort and respite in the barrens of the Adirondack woods and waters. But hopefully, it could be the last.
The first wave of war veterans arrived in the region shortly after the Civil War as Adirondack sporting clubs sprouted and the region's fish-filled waters were considered essential for national healing.
The influx changed the public's perception of "wilderness." No longer was the wilderness considered a place to be feared and avoided; rather, it was considered to be a safe, healthy and restorative atmosphere.
George Perkins Marsh, who once worked as a lawyer in Burlington, Vt. and later as a diplomat, believed the wilderness was an essential element of the American democratic spirit.
Often considered one of the country's first environmentalists, Marsh was also a scholar of military science and a leading authority on the health benefits of regular outdoor recreation.
In 1864, he published "Man and Nature," which has been credited with launching the modern conservation movement.
Marsh believed it was essential for the nation to maintain public access to American woods and waters for everyone to enjoy.
By the 1870s, Civil War veterans were traveling to the region for outdoor experiences in the wilderness in order to cure "soldier's heart," an affliction first observed in soldiers during the American Civil War.
The illness, which has been ascribed numerous labels over the years is as viable and painful in 2014 as it was in 1864.
It has been known by many names over the years, but the most recent reincarnation is post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD.
It is an illness that's difficult to describe but easy to recognize when it happens to you or a loved one.
Stacy Bare is a climber, mountaineer and occasional surfer who served one tour of duty in Iraq as a civil affairs team leader.
He received a commission into the United States Army from the University of Mississippi and he currently functions as the National Military Family and Veterans Representative for the Sierra Club.
In an article recently published on the the Child and Nature Network website, Bare explained the intricacies of PTSD and the importance of "Turning to Nature After Returning from Iraq."
He wrote: "This spring marks my five-year anniversary of coming home from Iraq. It has been an incredible journey, and one I'm thankful that I've lived all the way through. Iraq was a tough place to live … (but) America, after a year in Iraq may qualify as a tougher place to live.
"Sure, there aren't as many car bombs or snipers, but most days, I'd have chosen a convoy down Route Sword versus another office park … or a strip mall.
"I've been bored, scared, pissed off, guilty, bitter and thankful since I got home. I've struggled with and worked through unemployment, depression, substance abuse and daily suicide ideations that have been stretched out to one every couple of weeks.
"Some days are better than others, but mostly I'm glad to be sucking down oxygen every day … and to have kept myself out of prison, the emergency room or the morgue.
"What kept me going? It was a rock wall, a fast-moving river, a quiet frozen lake in northern Minnesota that kept me moving up the wall of life and beyond the bitterness.
"It's in the outdoors where I've found and rediscovered friends and shared experiences that … are making my life whole again.
"The last five years have left me with two pretty clear observations about wilderness and the outdoors in the context of an American soldier.
"As a nation, we owe it to our service members, their families and their children to preserve and keep wild places open as a place, if nothing else, for our veterans not just to heal – not everyone is broken – but simply to be.
"There are no waiting lines in the woods like there are at the VA, and it's easier to meet someone at the base of a climb or at a put in on the river than it is at a bar.
"From soldier to citizen, the woods, the wilderness, the crashing surf, the still desert or the towering mountains are the most effective bridge over that gulf from combat and war to our communities in the suburbs, small towns, cities and rural areas of America.
"If managed correctly, and with 44,000 service men and women coming home from the war in Iraq and one million service men and women separating from the Department of Defense in the next five years, the wilderness can help ensure this influx of highly trained soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen can be a significant boom, rather than burden on our nation's resources.
"Tapping into what can become the next greatest generation we have already invested in are our nation's veterans. America can be a great nation worthy of the sacrifice we've made in the last 10 years.
"It may sound too simple, but I really think the crucial first step is as easy as getting outside into the wild country we defended here at home."
And providing such opportunities to get our service men and women back to the woods, and back to normal, may be the next big chance to introduce sustainable and positive employment opportunities in many Adirondack communities.
It happened before in Tupper Lake, when the New York American Legion Veterans Mountain Camp was established as a health resort for veterans in 1922.
The facility included both a men's and women's dormitory, a mess hall, recreation hall, a hospital and numerous workshops.
It functioned as a convalescent home for veterans of the Spanish American War, WWI, WWII, as well as the Korean Conflict and the war in Vietnam.
The property which was located on the south end of Tupper Lake also included an "Outpost Camp" on nearby Horseshoe Lake, which was accessible from the main complex via a special rail station that took the vets and family members to nearby Horseshoe Station.
Log cabins and lean-tos were built for the convalescents, with permission having been granted from the state Department of Conservation to place the structures on the lakes and streams of the adjacent forest preserve, with kitchens and mess rooms conveniently located.
At the outpost camps, families stayed in cabins, lean-tos and tent platforms during the summer months and spent their days boating, fishing and hiking on more than 1,500 acres of private lands.
It was a place where hundreds of Tupper Lake youngsters of several generations worked as staff members. It was a good place to work!
It was a place where they learned to how to row a boat, catch a fish, hike, bowl, swim and occasionally fall in love. It was a place where locals had an opportunity to meet many new and interesting people from all levels of the social strata. It was a place with music and movies, fun and dance.
Most of all, it was a place where the employees were satisfied; proud of their work and happy to be there. And I believe we need a few more places like that around here.

Earlier this week, Roberta Jacobson, Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary, met with Caribbean countries' ambassadors to the United States. Their meeting, which coincided with the celebration of National Caribbean-American Heritage Month in the United States, reflected the deep ties of shared heritage, shared interests, and shared aspirations between the United States and countries of the Caribbean.
With more than 34 million people and 16 independent nations sharing a rich and diverse cultural and ethnic heritage, the Caribbean is a diverse region that includes some of the hemisphere's richest and poorest nations. Its history parallels that of the United States in the fight to end slavery and subsequent struggles for independence from colonial rule. One of the first acknowledgments of U.S. independence came from the Dutch Caribbean island of St. Eustatius when, in November 1776, the commander of Fort Oranjestad ordered his cannon to return the salute of a visiting U.S. ship. Today, more than five million persons of Caribbean heritage live in the United States, many in large diaspora communities located throughout the country.
In addition to our shared heritage, present-day challenges and opportunities inseparably link our nations. U.S. interests in the Caribbean are many, and events in the region have a direct impact on the United States. Caribbean nations are our partners in promoting and achieving economic development, democratic governance, citizen security, clean energy, and improved health and education in the region.
With the United States, most nations of the Caribbean share a democratic tradition and commitment to the rule of law. Caribbean nations increasingly use their own democratic experience to play constructive leadership roles in the hemisphere. Dominican Republic President Fernandez was central to the plan that resolved the recent political upheaval in Honduras, allowing former President Zelaya refuge there. In Haiti, Caribbean countries acted as strong partners in helping to ensure a peaceful political transition as well as in contributing to its reconstruction after the devastating earthquake.
Threats to security and citizen safety due to narcotics trafficking and its related violence represent one of the most critical concerns we share in the Western Hemisphere. Through the Caribbean Basin Security Initiative (CBSI), together we are taking a more comprehensive and long-term approach to reduce illicit trafficking, increase public safety and security, and promote social justice.
The economies of the Caribbean countries depend highly on trade, and face the twin challenges of adjusting to the effects of a dynamic, competitive global market and advancing economic integration. Entrepreneurship is a promising path toward enhancing job creation and economic development. The Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs is working to establish the region's first small business development center to help aspiring entrepreneurs. The center will initially benefit from an exchange between the Government of Barbados and a development center in Barbados' sister city of Albany, New York. U.S. Agency for International Development programs also promote youth entrepreneurship in partnership with the private sector in Jamaica and other countries.
The United States is interested in engaging with Caribbean governments and civil society to develop a regional strategy to address gender issues, including women's and girls' economic, political, and educational empowerment, as well as reducing gender-based violence. Working together, we can also combat gender discrimination and trafficking in persons. Promoting social inclusion is one key to meeting these goals.
The Caribbean is also highly vulnerable to high energy prices and the effects of climate change. Through the Energy and Climate Partnership of the Americas, the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs plans to pursue two initiatives -- the Advancing Sustainable Energy Solutions in the Caribbean competition (winners to be announced) and a Caribbean Climate Change Adaptation Initiative -- to assist the Caribbean in addressing these urgent, global challenges.
Together with our Caribbean partners, the United States is committed to achieving security and prosperity for our mutual benefit and that of future generations.

Objective To examine temporal trends in the incidence of epilepsy recorded in UK primary care and to evaluate the impact of recent efforts to improve the specificity of diagnosis in children.
Design Birth cohort study using primary care data from The Health Improvement Network, which includes a representative sample of the UK population of approximately 5%.
Methods We identified epilepsy recorded in primary care using relatively specific through to relatively sensitive indicators to identify epilepsy. Incidence estimates were based on 344 718 children aged 0–14 years with 1 447 760 years' follow-up between 1994 and 2008. Trends in cumulative incidence were explored with stratified analysis by year-of-birth. Trends in annual incidence were investigated using Poisson regression with adjustment for age, gender and deprivation.
Results Cumulative incidence of recorded epilepsy at age 5 years ranged from 0.38% to 0.68% and annual incidence ranged from 71 to 116/100 000 person-years-at-risk, depending on the indicator used to identify epilepsy. With the most specific indicator for epilepsy, cumulative incidence was 33% lower among children born in 2003–2005 than in children born in 1994–1996, and annual incidence declined by 4% per annum between 2001 and 2008, after adjusting for age, gender and deprivation. Using a more sensitive indicator for epilepsy, the equivalent declines were 47% in cumulative incidence and 9% in annual incidence.
Conclusions The decline since the mid-1990s in epilepsy recorded in primary care may be due to more specific diagnosis, cessation of treatment for some forms of epilepsy, reduced exposure to risk factors or all of these factors.

So you're saying that you spend most of your time listening to NPR?
Actually, I spend most of my morning drive listening to 97.5. It's the only station playing music at 7:30 am, apparently.
Then during commercials (or if I don't like the song), I check 850. What's Greenberg talking about? LeBron again? Next. 1350. Artrell Hawkins and some other somewhat annoying guy. Are they talking football? No, they're discussing Tiger Woods. Next. 92.3? Hell no, not while Chuck Booms is employed. I don't even bother trying that one. Next. NPR. Anything interesting? Nope, they're airing the opinions of college students about the presidential candidates. Like I care. Next.
And... back to 97.5. Just in time for the commercial to end.
Just get Sirius, cleveland radio sucks.
I finally caved and got it. NFL, NASCAR, College Sports, Mad Dog Radio, etc are awesome for sports talk, and the Music stations are miles better than the Clear Channel owned garbage that has taken over Cleveland.

Funny thing is
It just dawned on me something that is very funny about GSP incident.
BJ Penn a love him or hate him kind of guy steps in to fight one GSP. Who has had complaints in the past for vaseline, HGH, or faking injuries. Yet even with footage and confessions from his cornerman and officals. Who gets the blunt end and critisim by the majority of MMA fans abroad. Is it GSP? Nope! His cornerman? Nope! It is BJ Penn and his fans! HAHAHA some people are so far up the crotch of GSP that they can't see the truth through the hair... But the reality of the whole matter is this that GSP's so called legacy is now tarnished. This incident has caught the attention of the whole sports world.
Regardless of what you think of GSP or BJ for that matter this is a terrible situation not only for GSP, BJ and their fans but what does this do for future contests. There is enough evidence out there to prove the incident occured. Did it change the outcome of the fight not this time but who knows if it has in the past or if it stopped future problems.
The only defense that GSP fans can come up with is.. Why would he need to do this? He was the better fighter and stronger! Maybe and maybe not his guard pass was to swift and with ease unheard of against BJ. But I really feel that GSP has to have a mental edge and the only way he gets it is by cheating. This is my opinion and I am sure that you have yours. But this is by far the first claim against GSP.
Now for Matt Hughes lets look at his career. He is a dick. He is mean. He is arrogant. This is the arguments that his enemies use against him. Never Hughes was slippery, Hughes wasn't hurt, Hughes uses HGH.. Nothing that points to cheating. Yet Matt Hughes was and is still considered that Most Dominate WW in the history of MMA. So enough of this excuses of people are jealous of GSP so they are fabricating lies. It has nothing to do with that. The truth is that he has a lot of ????? marks around him and this will harm his name and should.
So yes I am laughing at the fact that GSP fans are so far up his crack they can't see anything and thats why he chooses Vaseline
