Your article about the abolition of the slave trade in 1833 stated that 47,000 people were financially compensated for the loss of their "property" (Follow the money, 28 August). In the early 1800s the population of Britain was around 10 million people, so the slave owners amounted to less than half of 1% of Britons. The other 99.5% of the population then had to bail out the slavers through government-enforced taxes. In fact, many of the 99.5% were themselves held in various types of servitude at the time. It was not a national sin, as professor Catherine Hall seems to suggest, but instead a shameful trade in human exploitation carried out for the financial benefit of the British aristocracy.
Chris Trude
• Your report omitted one very famous compensation recipient – William Ewart Gladstone. His income was almost entirely derived from the fortune made by his father, which was largely based on the slave trade. Gladstone was one of the largest beneficiaries of the payout, receiving more than £76,000 for 1,609 slaves.
Dick Leonard
Author, The Great Rivalry: Gladstone & Disraeli
• Professor Catherine Hall is surely right to point out that Britons often experience a sense of self-satisfaction when they note that, as she put it, "Britons were the first in the world to abolish slavery". No amount of British smugness should be allowed, however, to erase the fact that France was the first to abolish slavery, in 1794 (although it was reintroduced in 1802 and abolished for good in 1848).

M&T Bank Escrow Department No communication about holding escrow Baltimore Maryland
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
My loan was paid off in mid-May2013. Today is 09AUG2013. I have contacted M&T Bank numerous times since then and STILL have not received an answer as to why my escrow is being held. To complicate the problem, I have noticed transactions removing interest from the escrow since the pay-off. I figured that out by checking my online, account info which clearly details the amount being held. I have been promised communications but have received absolutely nothing yet.

This is a discussion on Chance that national right to carry legislation will pass within the The Second Amendment & Gun Legislation Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; I certainly wouldn't think moving the carry permit to a national system would be a good thing. (That may not even be what the bill ...
I certainly wouldn't think moving the carry permit to a national system would be a good thing. (That may not even be what the bill is talking about, I haven't read it) but I think it is great that states can try different combinations of laws and the rest of the country and look and see what effect those laws had and then decide whether they might want to try the same law in their own area. The other thing I dislike about a federal system is that what the fed giveth, the fed can taketh away.

You are only paranoid until you are right - then you are a visionary.
The States need to agree to honor other States CCW permits the same way they honor other States driver's licenses. This would keep the Feds out of it altogether.

"A free people ought to be armed." - George Washington
As I said before.
No way in hell would I support a bill with this intent no matter how friendly and good it would seem. The second a State loses its sovereign ability to govern it's own affairs then freedom as we know it is completely vaporized.
If anyone here actually understood the Constitution, and many of you do, then you would understand that we are basically a "Union" of 50 independent governing bodies, heck you could even say countries in a sense, who are bound by a blood pact formed by our states earliest founders called the Constitution of the United States. This Constitution was a document specifically written and agreed upon to offer full protection for it's citizens from an bloated power corrupted central democratic government.
What I am saying is do not for once believe that a bill based on principles of democracy are going to offer you more freedom. I fear regardless of good intention, it will have unintended consequence or even by design replace your liberty with more centralized democracy based government control.
Our union is not democratic, we are a republic and I ask that all of us here please stop and think about what is being sold by your central government every time they offer you something. Because almost everything they offer is covered in gold but at its core is poisonous lead filled toxic anti-liberty agenda.
As it remains for now the states hold an AMAZING amount of Constitutional Power which absolutely trumps everything the Federal government can do, except what is afforded the Fed via that same document. But we are handing over power to the central government at an amazing pace because people truly know nothing of their founding principles. Also the Constitution is a LAW, and anyone who knowingly violates this most precious life giving legislation are guilty in my opinion and should be dealt with like any other crime.
"I believe that the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms must not be infringed if liberty in America is to survive." - Ronald Reagan
It's close to election time so anything can happen. I live in Pa. And work in NJ and sail in Md. So it would be great if I could carry in the other states that are ridiculous with over restricting laws. As I stated in previous posts it would be no different than your drivers license so it's a good thing. YOU will still have your STATE permit so you worry warts do not have to worry about the Feds canceling your permit. It is a win win. You will have to learn the regulations of other states that you visit. It has 242 cosponsors and only needs 214 votes in the house to pass then it will need 51in congress and a presidents signature. With millions of votes at stake the president will have to sign I would think. Keep your fingers crossed. This is no different than the Federal bill that was passed to forced your drivers license to be accepted in other states except it was done with the commerce committee instead of the homeland security committee.
I can't see where I'd gain any advantage in carrying with this bill.

"The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it".

What does everyone think about this email I got regarding that bill:
Some well-meaning, but in my opinion very misguided pro-gunners are working to pass a bill that could turn into a Trojan Horse for more gun control.
Of course, I'm talking about H.R. 822, the so-called "National Reciprocity Act," which could open the flood gates of gun control.
I'm calling it the National CCW Registration Act.
While the idea that all states should recognize a concealed weapons permit is sound public policy, the use of the anti-gun federal bureaucracy to implement it is simply foolish.
Once the Federal Government is in the business of setting the standards for concealed carry permits, it's only a matter of time before they start using that power to restrict our rights.
Now you may hear arguments that this bill doesn't do that, and maybe that's true ... for now.
Even worse, once this bill starts moving, anyone can amend the bill with anything ... and no legislation can bind a future Congress in any way. And that doesn't count what Obamacrats in the Department of Justice might dream up as the "regulations" to carry out the legislative "intent."
I know many of you are frustrated that you can carry in some states but not others -- I'm frustrated, too.
I carry concealed every day, everywhere I go, and have worked to expand the ability of citizens to carry in dozens of states.
I believe I should be able to carry concealed -- without a permit -- in all 50 states. That's what "bear arms" means. Believe me, that's a long-term policy goal for the National Association for Gun Rights.
But mark my words, H.R. 822, the National CCW Registration Act, will become nothing more than a Trojan Horse for even more federal gun control.
I understand that many who support this bill sincerely just want their right to carry respected -- but cannot due to the fact that their state or another won't do the right thing.
But the devil is truly in the details... and the details are where H.R. 822 gets sticky.
This bill isn't just about the right to carry for self defense -- it's a battle over the role of government and the ability to restrict our Second Amendment rights.
Once gun owners let the Obamacrats start mandating whether states recognize permit reciprocity, they will want to mandate what it takes to get and keep those permits.
We're talking about:
More onerous standards to acquire a permit, so that only FBI agents can pass muster (look at New York's permit system);
Higher fees;
More training requirements;
A demonstration of "Need" for a permit;
More frequent renewal periods;
Federally-mandated waiting periods;
A national database of all permit holders, accessible by Attorney General Eric Holder;
An extensive, federally-created list of Criminal Safezones, where only criminals will carry and where law-abiding gun owners are vulnerable;
The list of potential problems is endless.
Not to mention this legislation would shred the Constitutional Carry provisions that are on the books in Arizona, Alaska, Vermont and Wyoming.
It doesn't stop with just concealed carry. They'll co-opt the bill to expand the national Brady Registration Check system to block military veterans with PTSD or individuals with misdemeanor convictions from even OWNING firearms -- much less use them for self defense.
I don't believe the intentions of the bill sponsors are intrinsically bad -- they're just naive and misguided.
Many statists in Washington will co-opt H.R. 822 as part of their grab for more federal power and less individual liberty.
Even now, the statists in Congress are trying to adopt a National ID card, complete with biometric data that they've forced the states to conform to their mandated drivers license "standards." The National Association for Gun Rights has been part of a group of liberty-minded organizations that have passed state legislation forbidding cooperation with the federal National ID.
While many in the institutional gun control lobby will tell you this is a step forward for CCW permit holders, make no mistake, the National CCW Registration Act is a misguided attempt to protect our rights.
It's like asking the fox to guard the hen house.
They will use this bill as the foundation to create a federal database of CCW permit holders. And then they can link it everywhere the Feds have database connections -- state police, doctors and insurance companies under Obamacare, and Medicaid/Medicare.
I'm sorry, but I refuse to entrust my liberty and privacy to a "trust us, they won't do that "approach to dealing with Obama, the gun-grabbers or frankly most politicians of either party in Washington.
I am all for this BILL, and think it is our 2nd Admendment right to be able to carry in all 50 states! Fed or No fed...I will stick with the Constitution and Bill of rights...we should not need this bill, but I would love to see it pass..
No offense, but this whole State vs Federal thing is retarded.... A State has the right on certain things as long as it doesnt go against the Constitution, so the way states have the CWP,CHL, however you want to say it, right now is Unconstitutional, and this bill is how it should be...
So a state really shouldnt be able to say whether you can or cannot carry, since technically it goes against the COnstitution, and I do not care what a elected supreme ourt group of judges says about it... sorry
How many of these threads on the same subject we going to have ??? This has to be about the 5th one going.
Don't forget the unknown factor, the NRA is lobbying for passage of this rather hard.
Personally, I hope it fades into the sunset and dies in committee.
I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts. --- Will Rogers ---
Chief Justice John Roberts : "I don't see how you can read Heller and not take away from it the notion that the Second Amendment...was extremely important to the framers in their view of what liberty meant."
Iowa Firearms Coalition has worked very hard over the last, what, seven or so years to establish a neighborly and trustworthy relationship with the Iowa legislature on both sides of the isle.
The un-conversational, in your face, bitchy, hard line stance of the GOA has endangered our cause.

Embeda Is Back: New Pain Med with Improved Safety
The GoodRx Pharmacist - October 31, 2014
Embeda is a schedule II extended-release narcotic used for the management of severe pain that requires daily, around-the-clock treatment on a long-term basis. It contains extended-release morphine as well as the abuse deterrent naltrexone.
The new formulation of Embeda has properties that are expected to reduce, but not totally prevent, abuse of the medication. Naltrexone is thought to prevent the euphoric effect of the medication if it is crushed, chewed, or dissolved for snorting or injecting. See More

Shanghai is physically and socio-economically vulnerable to accelerated sea level rise because of its low elevation, flat topography, highly developed economy and highly-dense population. In this paper, two scenarios of sea level rise and storm surge flooding along the Shanghai coast are presented by forecasting 24 (year 2030) and 44 (year 2050) years into the future and are applied to a digital elevation model to illustrate the extent to which coastal areas are susceptible to levee breach and overtopping using previously developed inflow calculating and flood routing models. Further, the socio-economic impacts are examined by combining the inundation areas with land use and land cover change simulated using GeoCA-Urban software package. This analysis shows that levee breach inundation mainly occurs in the coastal zones and minimally intrudes inland with the conservative protection of dike systems designed. However, storm surge flooding at the possible maximum tide level could cause nearly total inundation of the landscape, and put approximately 24 million people in Shanghai under direct risk resulting from consequences of flooding (e.g. contamination of potable water supplies, failure of septic systems, etc.).

New hitch to sales tax question
City commissioners can't seem to escape the sales-tax issue. A week after commissioners made it clear to county officials they want to move forward, preferably with a half-cent citywide sales tax, another obstacle presented itself Tuesday.
The main disagreement between the two entities over the renewal of the tax rests on the interpretation of the ballot question Riley County residents passed in 2002. County officials believe they're obligated to put the same ballot question in front of voters, meaning a similar countywide, half-cent sales tax. City officials disagree.
County officials have solicited an opinion from the state attorney general.
"It does go quite a bit further than what we talked about," Ron Fehr, city manager, said.
Fehr said the county's inquiry included a determination whether the city's funds must be restricted to economic development purposes as they are in the 2002 tax.
"We never had any discussions about asking the attorney general that," Commissioner John Matta said.
The situation has potential to cause problems for the commissioners, who have expressed intent to use part of the revenues for debt relief in addition to economic development.
Much of the commissioners' discussion revolved around whether the city should also contact the attorney general's office or disregard the county's actions and proceed on its own. Initially, Commissioner Wynn Butler and Matta leaned toward the latter.
Matta noted that Butler had previously advocated a joint ballot question with a quarter-cent, citywide sales tax and a quarter-cent, countywide sales tax. On Tuesday, however, he said "it may be the best thing to go on our own and stay away from any of these issues."
Butler agreed.
"Why don't we separate them and make it crystal clear?" Butler said. "The voters can sign up for that or not."
The concern is that such a course of action might be detrimental to any kind of sales tax passing.
Bill Frost, city attorney, said the county's question to the attorney general seemed unclear. Frost said if the attorney general doesn't understand what the city's position is, it could be adverse to the Commission's wishes. Commissioner Loren Pepperd suggested the city write a letter to the attorney general clarifying the Commission's position.
"I don't think we really have a choice," Matta said. "We have to give our position."
However, Frost told commissioners they are essentially in a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation.
"In my view, the most likely response we're going to get from the attorney general's office is, 'you guys are in dispute, I'm not going to get in the middle of it, I'm not going to answer it,'" Frost said.
He said if that's the result, or if the attorney general feels the language tying funds to economic development must go on the ballot, it's going to be difficult for the Commission to take its desired course of action.
But he added that if the city doesn't weigh in, it runs the risk of the attorney general upholding the county's position.
Commissioners decided it would be worth it to clarify the city's position. They told Frost to write a letter to the attorney general and "hone in on like a laser" to the second question, especially the obligation of funds.

Week's Out
"Alright guys, well I think that's it. Don't forget to leave your forms in the box once you've filled them out." Gabriella tugged her starchy striped shirt down over her stout waist for the tenth time and shuffled papers back into their folders on the desk in front of her. Everyone began filing slowly out of the room and I stood to go, catching my cardigan on the sharp broken arm of the chair. It'd been scraping at my elbow the whole of the meeting. As I hooked it off, Gabriella suddenly appeared next to me making me jump.
"I was wondering if I could have a little word with you for a minute, Jenny." My heart leapt in anxiety but I replied brightly, 'Yeah, sure!'
The hubbub died down as the last person threw a paper cup in the bin and left. She took a deep breath as she launched into what sounded like a well-rehearsed speech.
"So I've noticed you've been spending quite a lot of time giving care to this 'mystery man' in ward B this last week. I've heard rumours that you've got some kind of a thing for him and the others have been changing shifts to let you have more time with him? Is this true?" She chuckled but I didn't really think it was that funny. I knew she tended to laugh even when she clearly wasn't amused. It was her way of letting you know she was annoyed, hoping to make you feel bad, whilst at the same time appearing understanding. I didn't answer so she continued.
"Well, I know you're doing a good job Jenny, but just, you know, wise up a little bit. We've all got a job to do and you know the rule about getting too attached to patients. Not that we've had many cases before but ones that we have had, haven't ended well. So just, you know, be more professional and make sure you're not neglecting the other patients in the process. You work so hard, it would be shame to let something like this throw you off course. I assume you know employee reports are being written this month?" I nodded. I wanted to explode with irritation. "Well then, let's not be tampering with shifts then, shall we? They're in place for a reason. And I'd like you to incorporate Mrs Sanders into your morning routine from Monday please. Brenda isn't able to make it in next week so we're having to sort of spread the load around a bit. Sam's got the paperwork on her so if you just pick that up Monday morning. Alright?"
I smiled weakly, giving a short nod and made to leave the room.
"Oh, and one more thing. We've been having trouble identifying that particular patient of yours, in fact. The police are coming round next week to assess the situation so, just try not to get too involved. This is best left to them. I just want you to make sure you're keeping a full report on his progress, that's all."
Those stupid tears were creeping up on me again. I hastily swiped my eye, forgetting it would smudge the makeup. Who was she to tell me how I could feel? Well, she was head nurse, but still. How patronising! It's not like I asked them to change the shifts! A heavy heat hung around my cheeks as I scrubbed my hands in the washroom, flicked off the excess water and began tugging paper towels from the dispenser.
I wanted to believe she was just trying to help and that she was just doing her job. Part of me was even slightly grateful to her for bringing me back down to reality. But God, I hated it when she did that laugh thing. Why would you laugh when it's clearly not funny!?
But the fact still remained: I couldn't help feeling the way I did. Fair enough, I knew nothing about him, yet there was something there; not a mystic intense feeling of destiny and fate which only seems to line the plot of books and films, but a simple urge and desire to, well, help him. And that was what I was there for. Even if I had to spend less time caring for him, I was still his original assigned nurse and I would do my duties. And like she said, I had to keep a full report on his progress. She just didn't specify how full. I'd give her full alright.
The driving rain sweeping off the windscreen at every whip-whip of the wipers added to the glum that pressed on my muscles and my head. The traffic was its worst, being a Friday, and I knew there was nothing in the fridge to cook for dinner. At least it was the weekend. Could I afford takeaway? It was just along this road. But the rent was due this week; one more thing to think about. I sighed. Oh, the hell with it, I hadn't had one in ages.
I brightened slightly at the thought of chicken green Thai curry with prawn crackers, and braked rather suddenly to pull into the parking space alongside a row of shut-up shops. At the far end, the blocked text of 'The Thai Lily' spilled its glare out onto the shining wet asphalt which lay pot-holed with growing puddles. Slamming the door and shivering as I locked up the car, I made a dash up the pavement towards the welcoming lights, almost soaking my shoe in one of the streams that had formed. I stepped aside at the entrance, looking away and pretending not to notice the anorak shrouded man with a beard who attempted to check me out unnoticed as he clumsily exited. I hopped inside and hastily gave my usual order to the man smiling behind the counter. I couldn't wait to eat.

Rossi Second Fastest on Opening Day, Checa Close Behind
Valentino Rossi showed the speed and intimate track knowledge that has made him the only man to win in every contemporary MotoGP category at Mugello by taking second spot on the provisional front row. Carlos Checa, his Gauloises Fortuna Yamaha team-mate, followed on from his second place finish at the Le Mans Grand Prix three weeks ago with a fifth best lap time at the classically sculpted Mugello circuit in Tuscany.
With one dry session of free qualifying completed in the morning, the speeds and times were quick from the very start of this afternoon's qualifying session, and the Gauloises Fortuna Yamaha riders were sitting in first and second places only ten minutes in. Rossi had set a time of 1'51.541s and Checa 1'54.653s, with 50 minutes left to run. At that early stage Rossi was only 0.3 seconds from his own best ever fastest lap of 1'51.258s, a time he later improved to 1'49.961s. Other than Sete Gibernau (Honda), who set a new track record time of 1'49.553s, Rossi was the only rider to break into the 1'49s bracket.
Gibernau initially chopped his way to the lead with half an hour remaining to run and Kenny Roberts (Suzuki) split the pairing of Rossi and Checa with only 19 minutes left, going third fastest. The customary flurry of qualifying tyre changes and intense effort from the 25-strong MotoGP grid in the last few minutes of qualifying placed Rossi an eventual second, sharing the provisional front row with Gibernau and his Italian countryman Max Biaggi (Honda). Marco Melandri rode his Yamaha M1 to fourth spot with Checa fifth, setting a personal best lap of 1'50.954s on the way.
One qualifying session remains for each Gauloises Fortuna Yamaha rider to improve their set-up and start positions for Sunday's 23-lap MotoGP race.
VALENTINO ROSSI (2nd, 1'49.961)
"My time was pretty fast, better than last year, but still not enough because Sete went faster. I have put myself in quite a good place, so I am quite happy. We've already improved the bike a lot this morning and again this afternoon. Sete is on top form; so to be more competitive I still need to improve my general set-up. My pace feels quite good but I'm sure we can improve. We're having some problems with the rear and the last corner is where we need to make the biggest improvement to suit the racetrack. There is more pressure here in Mugello than anywhere else, so to get a top result this weekend would be the ultimate satisfaction."
CARLOS CHECA (5th, 1'50.954)
"With qualifying tyres I have been able to improve my lap time at the end but not as I expected. We expected to improve more and we couldn't. For the race I feel not so bad, we are still working, and we have time tomorrow. We need to work on a race tyre over distance to make preparations for the race itself. I am satisfied with the work we did but at the end you must be 100% focused, have the bike and the tyre correct and maybe at some points we lost a few tenths and I couldn't improve the time. From the first Valentino has had a big difference and we have to work on that tomorrow. The times are faster than ever but last year we couldn't improve the times from 2002. Maybe this is just the different track conditions at work, or maybe improvements in the tyres. It wasn't a surprise as such but it was not so difficult to get good lap times right away."
"I think the improvements in lap time are impressive already because it's only Friday. Valentino finished not so far from Gibernau but that was just one lap of qualifying in any case. We are working with both riders to make improvements and there is some room for them. I think the pace they are going at is a good pace; we just need to carry out some fine-tuning. Both Carlos and Valentino were towards the front in the whole session, part of the top package. They are going their own way in set-up and they each have a base. We are going forward with small adjustments, without changing too much."

If you're looking for a source of empowerment, this blog is for you! With knowledge and news about the beauty that lines within all women, this is a space where you can become stronger and more confident from the inside out. Jackie Tortorello discusses topics such as domestic violence, sexual health and relationships, as well as connects with women from all walks of life who can relate and want to share their own stories.
Learning to love myself is one of the most rewarding processes I have ever undertaken. It is also one of the hardest. It wasn't always easy and it wasn't the most comfortable experience, but it taught me a lot about myself and how I can better extend my love to others. If you are looking to grow, or begin the process of self-acceptance, check out these tips on learning to love yourself.
1. Look in the mirror and say it
You may not believe it at first, but looking in the mirror and saying "I love you" can help you to better connect with yourself and all the reasons you are great. If you don't believe it today, keep trying on a daily basis and eventually the idea of self-love will stick.
2. Experience new things by yourself
Go to a movie. Eat at a restaurant you have never tried. Check out a new coffee shop. The list of activities you can experience by yourself is endless. By doing new things, you become self-sufficient and more aware of the positive activities you enjoy.
3. Eat right and exercise
Maintaining physical health can help you feel better mentally. It will also give you the chance to look inward and assess ways to improve, giving you a new perspective as you shed unneeded habits and possibly pounds.
4. Set goals
Setting one realistic goal you can achieve can help you realize how powerful you really are. It could be as simple as attending one yoga class a week or cooking a new recipe. Either way, make sure the goal is not too extreme and can be measured in some way.
5. Listen to good music and sing loud
Opening your heart with some really good tunes can help beat out stress from your daily life and make you feel a little warmer inside. It's a known fact that certain music can increase your mood and help you experience a sense of well-being.
6. Meditate
Taking a step back from your own mind can open you to a whole new world of possibilities and perspectives. Meditation is clinically proven to reduce your heart rate and calm the body. It also opens your heart and mind to the world around you and allows you to connect to a greater consciousness.
7. Meet new people
Talking with a different group of people can help you better understand yourself. It can also teach you about alternative lifestyles while forcing you to step outside of your comfort zone.
8. Connect with old friends from the past
Write a letter to a friend from the past and tell her your favorite memory. Doing this can help you better understand where you came from as your share a positive memory with a friend. By loving others, you can learn to love yourself.
9. Write daily
Writing in a daily journal can provide an opportunity to reflect on the world around you and understand things you might not. It can also help you deal with feeling sad or chronicle a positive life event.
10. Acknowledge your journey
By acknowledging where you come from and accepting where you are, you can acknowledge all the positive things that lie within. This is not something that happens in one day, but rather, a process that takes place throughout one's lifetime.
As a 22-year-old growing up in Indiana, Erin never guessed one of her boyfriends would beat her, berate her and lock her in her own house. She is now 32-years-old and willing to share her story. After enduring a cycle of psychological abuse and physical violence for almost a year, Erin ended the relationship and moved to Chicago where she maintains a career as a personal injury attorney.
When did you first realize the relationship was abusive?
About two months in he started causing problems for no reason. He locked me in the house all the time and he would leave for periods of time. He would get pretty drunk and would wake me up at five in the morning. He would punch me in the back, and like pin me down, spit on my face. At another poin, he pulled a gun on me.
What did family and friends say?
My friend went with me and took me to the police station. She's the one that finally got me to go. It took me a long time to even report it because I felt bad that I was going to get this guy arrested. We have mutual friends, I work with his friends. I felt guilty.
Were there any red flags?
He was Immediately into saying that he was my boyfriend and telling me that he loves me. Two months into he was causing problems for no reason, always screaming at me.
His friend even warned me about him. She said there's been stories about him and his ex-girlfriends. But you just figure that "something happens" and you never hear both sides of the story. I didn't listen because ex-girlfriends or boyfriends say things that aren't necessarily true.
What happened when you ended the relationship?
We broke up, finally, and then he starts stalking me. He's waiting for me in the parking lot of my apartment building, threatening to kill my brother and calling me constantly. Just call after call after call after call after call. Leaving messages, showing up at my work.
I went out with someone else and he called me and knew who it was because he was sitting in my parking lot and watched me go out with him.
Did you ever speak with police about his behavior?
He was calling me while I was at the police station. Over and over again. So I go to talk to the police and try to file an order of protection. I tell them I don't know what to do, this guy has guns and he's pulled them on me before so I'm scared for my safety.
The cops are like, "Why didn't you come to us sooner? How stupid." It wasn't a positive experience.
I walked around the building looking for places I should go. They kept sending me to different places. I finally talked to this officer who knew him from high school. He took down the information and called the guy and told him to leave me alone. That was all he did. So he stopped for a little bit but then saw me out on a date with another guy and started all over again, but calling from a private phone number.
Were there any reasons why you stayed in this relationship longer than you should have?
My whole life had been pretty abusive so it's not that abnormal for me to be dealing with that kind of stuff. I never felt like really terrified even though I probably should have. It seems odd now that I look back and see that I wasn't scared.
I felt bad that I was going to get this guy arrested. We have mutual friends, I work with his friends.
He was always telling me how great I am outside when he was abusing me. He was always really persistent. Always calling me, trying to get back together with me. I just stayed with him until I started dating other people.
What advice do you have to give to other girls experiencing this situation?
It's hard not to think that it's all your fault. Just be careful. He wanted to be involved too quickly and wrapped up into it too quickly.
How did you recover from such traumatic experiences?
Eventually, I changed my phone number and I moved here (to Chicago). I was working two jobs and into school full time. I just kept myself busy. I try to be open about it and I don't want to hide it.
Dealing with the aftermath of domestic violence or domestic abuse is different for every survivor. While there are some commonalities for everyone who has experienced abuse, the recovery process is different for all. One of the best ways to recover from domestic violence is to take a step back and with the help of loved ones or a counselor, reexamine the situation through a new set of eyes.
By asking questions and understanding the situation from a new perspective, you can start the process of healing. At first, it might seem painful, but after a period of reflection and thought, the bruises will heal and so will your heart. Consider these thoughts after experiencing abuse:
By surrounding yourself with supportive loved ones and a team of counselors, beginning again is only a few steps away.
Women who have experienced domestic violence often feel isolated and fear that they can't turn to anyone for help. However that is simply not true. By speaking with police and other legal authorities, action can be taken so that further violence is prevented.
Police Reports
A police report will help document abuse and make the first step towards filing criminal charges. The person filing the report will be asked a series of questions that indicate what happened and why. It's best to file a police report as soon as the event occurs and in some cities you can even file online. Provide as much information as possible and be sure to let authorities know you feel threatened or unnerved. Once the report is filed, you become a witness in the case that is created against your abuser. A detective will be assigned to your case. You will not have control over whether or not this case ends up in court nor are you guaranteed a conviction for your abuser.
Protective Order
A protective order will require your abuser to maintain a certain distance from you as well as your property. In some states it's called a protection order, restraining order or injunction. Despite the legal ramifications of filing, the abuser does not always obey. Sometimes abuse can become even more intense after the victim files a protective order because the abuser realizes he is losing power and control but if you fear for your safety and your abuser is a casual acquaintance, a protective order may help.
Always remember that police reports and protective orders do not completely protect you from the threat of abuse. Instead, they are small steps you can take to develop a network of secure protection. By using your own judgment, you can decide if these steps are necessary or if they may make the situation worse.
You want your daughter to look in the mirror and feel powerful. You want her to smile with confidence and pass her light onto others. But in a world filled with photoshopped ads and sizes too small to shrink into on your skinniest day, she is competing against a harsh world.
Instilling body-confidence in your daughter will foster an attitude of self-acceptance that carries over into adult life and shapes the perception she has of herself. It's important because according to the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA), 40 to 60 percent of elementary school girls (ages 6 to 12) are concerned about becoming too fat or gaining weight. By cutting off harmful thoughts at a young age, our daughters, friends and sisters can live in a more positive, non-judgmental world.
But How Do You Do It?
How do you instill the idea of beauty in a flower that has yet to form? How do you make your daughter believe she is good enough? If you don't model a positive perception of your own body-image, the task is next to impossible. By speaking positively about your physical features in front of your daughter, she is more likely to project those connotations onto herself.
Teach your daughter to look below the surface and recognize positive qualities that lie within. Not only will this help her to recognize the universal gifts she has been given, it will teach her that others are beautiful in their own way.
Don't project the idea that being thin is equivalent to being beautiful. Beauty comes in all forms and is best viewed in its natural state. Yes, weighing less can help you live a healthier and longer lifestyle, but no one should be judged by the size or shape of their waistline.
Teach your daughter to be comfortable in her developing body. Let her know that physical changes are okay. Navigating the physical form of the female is confusing enough, let alone when changes are occurring at the influx of hormones. By teaching her about self-acceptance, she can endure the physical changes with a positive perception.
By instilling a personal sense of beauty and confidence in your daughter, she can project that image and remain confidence within herself.
Sometimes this world is tough and all we need is a small piece of inspiration to help pick us up and dust us off. By checking out this list of 15 inspirational quotes, you will know you're not alone and that you can face challenges with a stronger mind and motivate others to do the same. This list will also help you realize struggles other women have faced and the way they conquered them.

After escaping an abusive relationship, Disney star Debby Ryan joined the Don't Look Away Campaign, a movement that stresses that everyone deserves a safe and healthy relationship. As the star of the Disney series Jessie, Ryan not only uses her show to highlight the challenges young women face but to also get involved with a greater cause.
Bruises and cuts are easy to cover, but it's the bone-twisting anxiety that might give you away. If your friends haven't noticed an absent smile or tear-stained cheeks, they're not doing their job. Or maybe you're better at masking the signs and symptoms of domestic violence than most. By understanding abuse, those who have experienced it can stop the cycle while friends and family speak up on your behalf.
Many people think that domestic violence only happens face to face. But in the fast-paced world of Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, digital abuse has become a growing trend. According to the Urban Institute, one in four teens is harassed online or through texting by a partner they have been romantically involved with.
The feminist movement on social media has gained some major attention in the past year, with women joining forces for a common cause and sharing knowledge. This list of Twitter feminists should be added to your feed.
For women hoping to escape an abusive relationship, the challenge of calling the police and appearing in front of court can seem like a daunting task. However, with a new mobile app released by The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's App Brewery and the Sojourner Family Peace Center, things just got a whole lot easier.
There are some subtle bad signs that deserve your attention when you begin dating someone new. Sometimes we are unwilling to open our eyes to the truth because we are too busy enjoying our new relationship or we think he will change. Spot these red flags in the beginning of your relationship and you can prevent some major heartbreak down the road.
Where did you get those marks? Is he hitting you? What's going on with this relationship?
If you think someone you love is experiencing an abusive relationship, you might be struggling to ask certain questions. While it can be very painful to stand by and watch the one you love experience abuse, it's ultimately up to them to end the cycle. However, there are certain things you can say to motivate them to get help and exit the relationship.

Remember that dress? The blue and gold one that played tricks on the eyes? Well, it's now being used in an anti-violence campaign designed to stop abuse against women.
"I write for those women who do not speak, for those who do not have a voice because they were so terrified, because we are taught to respect fear more than ourselves. We've been taught that silence would save us, but it won't" - Audre Lorde
I know what it's like to pick up the pieces. I know what it's like to feel confused. I know what it's like to become a statistic and wonder if life will ever go back to the way it was before. After surviving the experience of rape at the age of 19, I vowed to enlighten women on preventing sexual abuse in their own lives while helping others who have endured similar situations.
By talking about issues like sexual violence, domestic abuse and women's health, we can take back the power and learn facts designed to save lives. This blog intends to create a community dedicated to informing and empowering women about issues they face each day.
According to the Huffington Post over 38,028,000 women have faced physical harm from an intimate partner and the trend continues on a global scale. Our culture might capitalize on issues like domestic violence with trending conversations on social media and graphic pictures on the news. But still, with numbers much larger than most bank accounts, physical and mental harm towards women has become an American epidemic.
In the wake of disaster and in everyday life, women need to know that their voices have not gone unheard. There are a number hotlines, websites and organizations just waiting to help. My blog is one of them as it serves as a source of insight into understanding different forms of trauma women have experienced.

Georgia State University, Atlanta, GA
SESSION TYPE: Pharmacology in the ICU Posters
PRESENTED ON: Wednesday, October 24, 2012 at 01:30 PM - 02:30 PM
PURPOSE: Delivery of inhaled medications administered with different aerosol devices in patients with tracheostomy tube (TT) has not been described. The purpose of this study was to quantify aerosol drug delivery in simulated adults with TT using the jet nebulizer and pMDI tested with three different types of spacers.
METHODS: An adult manikin's upper airway was intubated with TT (Portex) of 8 mmID, connected to a collecting filter (Respirgard II) at the trachea and a passive test lung. Albuterol sulfate (2.5 mg/3mL) was administered via a jet nebulizer (eValueMed, Trianim) at 8 lpm O2 and pMDI (ProAir HFA) using Uni-directional (Instrumentation Industries), Bi-directional (Hudson RCI) and Aerovent (Monaghan/Trudell) spacers. Each device was placed between the ambu bag (Smiths Medical) and TT at a rate of 12/min using one hand with pMDI and 2 hands with the jet nebulizer. Drug was eluted from the filter and analyzed with spectrophotometry (276 nm). Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA and paired sample t-test (p<0.05).
RESULTS: Table shows the mean % (± SD) of emitted (pMDI) and nominal (SVN) dose delivered distal to the trachea with each device. Differences among the type of spacers in aerosol delivery with pMDI were statistically significant (p=0.0001). Using ambu bag for aerosol treatment, the pMDI/AeroVent combination delivered more aerosol than other options tested in this study (p=0.001).
CONCLUSIONS: The choice of aerosol delivery options between pMDI using various spacers and the jet nebulizer resulted in > 20 fold difference in tracheal deposition during manual ventilation in this model of tracheotomized adults.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: The wide differences in drug available distal to the trachea with the aerosol delivery systems tested may result in dosing below the therapeutic threshold or exceeding the toxicity threshold for a specific drug. Dosing should be adjusted accordingly.

Steve McNamara, the England rugby league head coach who took the national side to within seconds of a home World Cup final, is to stay in the post for at least another year, but will do the job on a part-time basis.
McNamara will combine the role of England head coach with that of assistant coach at the Australian NRL club Sydney Roosters.
His England side narrowly lost to New Zealand in the World Cup semi-final last month, following a turbulent campaign, and the RFL chief executive, Nigel Wood, said the new arrangement would allow McNamara to build on the "considerable progress" of the past four years.
"The systems and structures that have been put in place during Steve's tenure as England coach have put rugby league in this country in a good place and this move will ensure that we continue to make progress," said Wood.
"Steve can also realise his own desire to return to club coaching and I am sure his involvement with Sydney Roosters will have a positive impact on his own career development."
England's next scheduled fixtures are in Australia and New Zealand next autumn, when they will compete in the Four Nations.
"I would like to thank the RFL board for giving me this opportunity to carry on working with an outstanding group of players who I firmly believe are on the verge of achieving sustained success," said McNamara. "I have a great team around me within the England camp and the RFL performance department and I will be maintaining regular contact with them all, as well as all the elite training squad players, following my move to Australia."
At Sydney Roosters, McNamara will work alongside the former Catalan Dragons coach Trent Robinson.

This only concerns coop in full, at least, as far as I'm concerned.
When viewing my stats for coop games, I think it would be much better to view each team member's stats side by side. There is a ton of empty space and needlessly large fonts taking up space on the web site (sure, it works if people are viewing from the couch on a tv, but still). In fact, the large font could stay as long as extra words were trimmed. It would be great to see all the stats for the three coop players all at once.
The weapon stats would have to be squished pretty good to make it work. However, I would prefer squished to having to click each member seperately and copy and paste to a spreadsheet for a direct comparison.
Overall I don't have a problem with the layout. The box for 'Players' in 'Match History' should resize dynamically depending on how many people played in the match. Data should be compacted and transmitted with the fewest number of clicks necessary. To me this means putting up everyone's data on one page with no extra clicking required.
Just my two cents.

NASCAR, IndyCar tinker with new ideas
Face it, racing in front of spectators is sports entertainment, so by definition the people in charge must decide where in that continuum their form of competition resides:
What's an enhancement to entertainment?
And what's a gimmick that disrupts the racing?
Subjective answers to those questions rarely make everyone happy. That leads us to two points in the news this week.
IndyCar will bring back push-to-pass for the remaining five road- and street-course races. Drivers will have at their disposal extra turbocharger boost to use a predetermined number of times for a specific duration.
On one hand, the feature is a boon for passing on tracks where tight quarters make it difficult for the wiliest cat to win the game of cat-and-mouse. Passing equals entertainment. Right, fans?
But on the other hand, the racing has been pretty darn good this year just about everywhere with the new car and engine package. If it works as well as it has in the past, then fine; it's an enhancement. But if it somehow messes up a good thing, then it goes down as a gimmick.
Meanwhile in NASCAR, track magnate Bruton Smith, the king of the trial balloon, has floated the idea that NASCAR needs more caution flags to tighten the competition and force the double-file restarts that bring spectators to their feet.
(Funny, it wasn't that long ago that stock-car racing was panned for having too many.)
Stick-and-ball sports have TV timeouts, two-minute warnings, faceoffs and penalty-kick shootouts that affect the flow of an event or even run at odds with the nature of the game.
So this wouldn't be altogether different from other sports. And one could argue it's not significantly different from moving lapped cars - which would be scattered among leaders during a green-flag run - out of the way for a late restart.
Meanwhile, using competition cautions to tighten the field artificially isn't a new idea. The old American Speed Association short-track touring series threw a yellow if a race had gone caution free for a prescribed number of laps.
I found that gimmicky then, and nothing has happened to change that opinion.
Centennial celebration
During its annual event Friday and Saturday at the Milwaukee Mile, the Miller Club will commemorate the 1912 Vanderbilt Cup race in Milwaukee with a handful of cars from that era on hand
Organizers expect 58 vintage Indy cars in all. The event opens at 9 a.m. Friday and 8 a.m. Saturday. A $25 admission covers both days and infield parking at the Mile.
The Miller Club was founded to honor Wisconsin native Harry Miller, probably the most influential designer in American racing history.
In a good place
After winning the Daytona 500 for a second time, Matt Kenseth couldn't wait to get to Talladega, the other track at which NASCAR employs carburetor restrictor plates and radiator pop-off valves to limit speed.
After getting separated from teammate and drafting partner Greg Biffle and letting the Talladega race slip away in April, Kenseth couldn't wait to get back to Daytona International Speedway for Saturday's Coke Zero 500.
"I'm looking forward to getting some redemption and also coming off that win at Daytona," said Kenseth, the 2003 series champion from Cambridge. "The rules worked really good for us. Our cars have been fast and we have been able to pass.
"They get hot when you get back in the pack, but if we can keep them toward the front and we have enough speed we seem to be OK."
Only four times has a driver swept Daytona's 500 and 400, most recently by Bobby Allison in 1982.
Power outage
Four IndyCar Series drivers, including championship contender Scott Dixon, are on the last of their allotted five fresh engines for the season, according to a list from the sanctioning body this week.
Using more than five will be considered an unapproved engine change-out, resulting in a penalty of 10 grid positions. Series leader Will Power has one left, and the three Andretti Autosport drivers all have two.
The maximum number of engines and the minimum lifespan of 1,850 mile are designed to keep development costs, and consequently lease costs, in check.
No change
Formula One test driver Maria De Villota remained in critical but stable condition in an English hospital Thursday after her crash Tuesday, the Marussia team said. The Spaniard suffered severe head and facial injuries and underwent a long surgery during which her right eye could not be saved.
Sit this one out
Denny Hamlin skipped Sprint Cup practice Thursday and will sit out the Nationwide event with a sore back. Joey Logano drove his Cup car in practice, and Clint Bowyer will take his spot in the Nationwide race Friday.

All reader reviews by Fro
Kennington Tandoori
The meal was disappointing in contrast to all the good reviews.
For starters, we had Vegetable Dolma and Prawn Puri. The Dolma was tasteless, while the prawn puri was not the "PURI" I know of. They may be trying to present dishes as British Fusion, but in that case, they should state so clearly in the menu.
The Tarka Daal side dish didn't taste like chickpeas at all. It tasted rather like instant corn soup diluted with cream. It just tasted artificial. The Peshawar Naan was disappointing since it was just a bland naan with added raisons.
I am sure that waiters are nice people. However, it is annoying when they are watching you over all the time from close distance.
If you haven't experienced genuine Indian cuisine, this place may be OK. However, if you know the genuine one, don't bother to go to KT.

No Checkered Flag
Poem by: Mike Stevens
Status: Finished
Genre: Poetry
No Houses
No Checkered Flag
By Mike Stevens
Hour by hour, the days slip away
My life worn around the edges; tattered and frayed
This race I'm running; no checkered flag waiting at the end
I try to fool myself, lie and pretend,
By saying I'm getting better,
And I am, just not fast enough; I write myself a letter,
I write of hope and promise come tomorrow,
I fight against the hopelessness and the sorrow
But the truth is, I can see the writing on the wall
I put on an act; stand brave and stand tall,
Try to stay resolute, not give in to despair,
But every once in a while, I think it's just not fair
I'm the first one to say no one likes a downer
That I alone control how I think; have all the power
But once in a while, the desperation kicks in
The sad truth of my situation will win
Sometimes I think that the struggle's too much
It all overwhelms me, and is such
A cross to bear; such a crushing weight
That I just want to give in to my sad, sad fate
But that's just not who I am; or what I'm about
I'll look at the man in the mirror, get mad and shout;
"No way, don't you ever give up; it's never over!"
I admit to doubts, but they'll be no giving up, any more!

well Mr S ... this is of your best ! well done ...Me thinks you may not be the only one a little lost today , your coffee shop assistant seems a little low ... perhaps I should bake you both something to cheer you up
I like the determination in this poem!
A very strong poem and an expression of a state that we all feel from time to time. Even us able bodied. You are a testament to resilience and hope. You should all take great solice in your ability to bounce back as your example teaches us all to live life as fully as we are able.
Much respect
The important thing is you don't let yourself stay in this frame of mind. Such a truly wonderful, talented and caring person. Your writings have brightened many a dreary day and your good mornings are something that when all else is cloudy, bring a little bit of sunshine. Never ever give up and always continue to just be you. As always a wonderfully written expression of you. :) Sherry
This is from your heart,but your spirit shines through it.
You wouldn't be human if you didn't feel like this sometimes.
I think we all have days like this.
You are strong and people care about you.
You will come through,I just know it.
It is such an honest piece of writing ,it
moves me.
Hey Mike:
Well, you can't be Sheckie but I can be Ruby and YELL AT YOU:
And then I twist your nose and then I smack you on the shoulder and then I rub the back of my neck and then I rub yours, and then I bellow again:
So sorry for the slog, Mike. Warmest regards, Connie
I simply love it .. It's very well written and I loved the choice of words. My favourite line is: "I fight against the hopelessness and the sorrow" It describes perfectly the situation you're in. Great work :)
Wow. I love the resolute, secure tone of the poem, in contrast with the doubt shown in the words. You describe a state of mind everyone will recognise, and I am no exception. This touched the very bottom of my heart. Of what I can remember right now, this must be one of your best poems!
