After it destroyed neighborhood retailers, forced manufacturing overseas and helped bankrupt the middle class, Wal-Mart is suddenly surprised to learn that its customers are too poor to shop. But the company's top brass won't admit that they are to blame for their shoppers' poverty. Instead, they say it's all about high gasoline prices and plan on expanding Wal-Mart's e-commerce division to pick up the slack in sales. Yeah, that'll solve the problem. —YL
CNN Money:
Wal-Mart's core shoppers are running out of money much faster than a year ago due to rising gasoline prices, and the retail giant is worried, CEO Mike Duke said Wednesday.
"We're seeing core consumers under a lot of pressure," Duke said at an event in New York. "There's no doubt that rising fuel prices are having an impact."
Wal-Mart shoppers, many of whom live paycheck to paycheck, typically shop in bulk at the beginning of the month when their paychecks come in.
Lately, they're "running out of money" at a faster clip, he said.
"Purchases are really dropping off by the end of the month even more than last year," Duke said. "This end-of-month [purchases] cycle is growing to be a concern.

For sale is a Spec clutch and lightened flywheel. The clutch is a four puck unsprung clutch with matching pressure plate. Clutch was pulled off a ABA that was supposed to be used for drag races. The disc should be for a ABA/020 transmission. Looks to have never been used.
Going off of Spec's website it appears to be a Spec Stage 4 clutch.... Retail is over $380. I would be happy with $150 shipped.

Cartilage, specifically, hyaline cartilage is the tissue that lines the articular (contacting) surfaces of bones. If the cartilage deteriorates it can lead to pain and inflammation in the weight bearing joints, mostly the knees and hips, as nerve endings in the joint get exposed to abrasive action. This can force the sufferer to elect for knee or hip replacement surgery, as well as artificial disc surgery. Smaller joints such as in the fingers can be affected as well.
Cartilage is made by special cells called chondroblasts. These cells make the extracellular matrix of cartilage, comprised of Type II collagen and ground substance, which is comprised of proteoglycans and elastin. Another important constituent is hyaluronic acid, which improves the resiliency and hydration of cartilage. Without going into too much detail, a proteoglycan is a protein molecule with a chain of sugar molecules attached called glycosaminoglycans, or GAGs. The two GAGs that are best known to the public are glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate, the key ingredients in most cartilage and bone supplements. Glucosamine sulfate is the one found in the exoskeletons of shellfish, as well as some fungi.
Persons suffering from the various forms of arthritis such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis have cartilage tissue that is undergoing inflammation and degradation, either mechanical in nature or auto-immune.
Collagen is a group of naturally occurring proteins found mostly in animal connective tissues– tendons, ligaments, and skin. What makes collagen useful in cartilage is its ability to withstand pressure and return to its original shape (deform and rebound). This is what is necessary in joints of the human body, which are subjected to forces multiple times throughout the day. The simple act of sitting or standing places enormous pressure on the joint surfaces of the feet, knee, hip and lower back. Using one's hands to type or grip things places pressure on the smaller joints of the fingers and wrists.
So, if your have thinning cartilage in your knees, can you grow it back simply by taking glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin supplements? Unfortunately, the latest research on their ability to reduce joint pain show minimal improvement.
Instead, consider consuming bone broth soup regularly if you are suffering from achey joints; or do so as a preventative measure. Most butcher shops in the grocery store will have large joints of beef or pork, usually the hips, knees and spine. And they are cheap, usually less than $2.00 a pound. They will saw them in small pieces for you if you request. What's great about them is that they still have tendons and cartilage pieces attached. Get a large pot, add a gallon of water and bring to boil; lower temperature and boil for two hours. The broth will be rich in nutrients that your body can use to help regenerate damaged cartilage.
For preventive measures to protect the health of your joint cartilage, remember to:
- do functional exercises regularly to improve whole-body muscle & joint responsiveness
- avoid sitting for too long at your work
- avoid activities that require repetitive trauma to the joints such as long distance running
- avoid ingesting toxins like cigarette smoke, alcohol, and highly processed food
- get enough daily rest to allow your body to regenerate
- drink filtered water (not distilled)
- get enough sun exposure for Vitamin D synthesis

The .exe extension on a filename indicates an executable file. Executable files may, in some cases, harm your computer. Therefore, please read below to decide for yourself whether the winagent.exe on your computer is a Trojan that you should remove, or whether it is a file belonging to the Windows operating system or to a trusted application.
The process known as winagent or agent_winnt Application belongs to software Advanced Monitoring Agent or Advanced Monitoring Agent GP or N-able Technologies Inc. Windows Agent by Remote Monitoring (www.ietf.org) or N-able Technologies (www.n-able.com).
Description: Winagent.exe is not essential for the Windows OS and causes relatively few problems. The file winagent.exe is located in a subfolder of "C:\Program Files".
Known file sizes on Windows 10/8/7/XP are 8,373,760 bytes (18% of all occurrences), 8,490,496 bytes and 15 more variants.
The program has no visible window. You can uninstall this program in the Control Panel. The winagent.exe file is not a Windows core file. Winagent.exe is able to monitor applications. Therefore the technical security rating is 45% dangerous; however you should also read the user reviews.
Recommended: Identify winagent.exe related errors
If winagent.exe is located in a subfolder of C:\Windows, the security rating is 84% dangerous. The file size is 417,792 bytes. There is no information about the author of the file. The program is not visible. The file is located in the Windows folder, but it is not a Windows core file. The file is not a Windows system file. The application listens for or sends data on open ports to a LAN or the Internet.
If winagent.exe is located in the C:\Windows\System32 folder, the security rating is 74% dangerous. The file size is 87,040 bytes (33% of all occurrences), 64,512 bytes or 62,720 bytes. The winagent.exe file is an unknown file in the Windows folder. The program has no visible window. The application is loaded during the Windows boot process (see Registry key: MACHINE\Run). The winagent.exe file is not a Windows core file. Winagent.exe is able to monitor applications.
Important: Some malware camouflages itself as winagent.exe, particularly when located in the C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 folder, for example WORM_PKOOBF.SM (detected by TrendMicro), and Packed.Generic.257 (detected by Symantec). Therefore, you should check the winagent.exe process on your PC to see if it is a threat. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security. This was one of the Top Download Picks of The Washington Post and PC World.
Summary: Average user rating of winagent.exe: based on 2 votes with 2 user comments. One user thinks winagent.exe is essential for Windows or an installed application. One user thinks it's neither essential nor dangerous.
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with winagent. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using 1cleanmgr and 2sfc /scannow, 3uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using 4msconfig) and enabling Windows' 5Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the 6resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off repairing of your installation or, for Windows 8 and later versions, executing the 7DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
To help you analyze the winagent.exe process on your computer, the following programs have proven to be helpful: ASecurity Task Manager displays all running Windows tasks, including embedded hidden processes, such as keyboard and browser monitoring or Autostart entries. A unique security risk rating indicates the likelihood of the process being potential spyware, malware or a Trojan. BMalwarebytes Anti-Malware detects and removes sleeping spyware, adware, Trojans, keyloggers, malware and trackers from your hard drive.

Free help for owners facing foreclosure
Authorized counseling agencies offer bilingual assistance
Text Size
Marta Lemus of San Ysidro is on the verge of losing her house of six years to her bank.
Or maybe not.
The 58-year-old and her husband had difficulty paying their monthly mortgage after she lost her job at a frozen food factory in 2009. On top of that their monthly payments began to rise because they had an adjustable rate mortgage.
Their bank turned down their application for a loan modification, which would have lowered their monthly payments, but the couple is not giving up. Not as long as they are receiving free housing counseling from a trusted source.
The couple is receiving help from Springboard, one of the several federally approved housing counseling agencies in the San Diego area. There is no guarantee that they will be able to hold on to their house but the counseling agency is helping them weigh their options and their counselors speak Spanish.
Millions of Americans have been hit by the foreclosure crisis. A Wall Street Journal investigation two years ago showed there was evidence that Latinos had been hard hit by foreclosures. Areas with high percentage of Latino residents in the county had higher foreclosure rates than others, according to the report.
Latinos may have been disproportionately affected because many were first-time homeowners who got involved with risky loans.
Housing counselors advise homeowners to avoid foreclosure however possible.
Not only do homeowners lose their homes, their lender may also seek judgment against them for money they owe or to cover the cost of the foreclosure.
In addition, their credit history is damaged for a long time and can reduce their score by 200 points.
Distressed homeowners are also vulnerable to scams where they are promised assistance to avoid foreclosure for a fee. That is why government officials encourage people facing foreclosure to seek help from federal Housing and Urban Development-approved housing counselors, which is free.
Counselors review finances, explain options, develop action plans and even communicate directly with mortgage companies.
The Housing Opportunities Collaborative is hosting a free housing counseling clinic, called Options to Save your Home, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 16, at the San Marcos Community Room, 3 Civic Center Drive, San Marcos; and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 30, at the Alpine Community Center, 1830 Alpine Blvd., Alpine
The City of Chula Vista and Fannie Mae is hosting an appointment-only free workshop for distressed homeowners from10 a.m. to 7 p.m. this Friday, April 15, and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, April 16, at Montevalle Park Community Center, 840 Duncan Road, Chula Vista. To schedule an appointment send an e-mail to: firstname.lastname@example.com or call (855) 349-2293.

Suppression Laws Flourish After Death of Voting Rights Act
Six of the nine states that previously had to apply for federal permission to make changes to their voting laws because of their history of discrimination are pushing forward with discriminatory voter suppression laws.
The states were given the go-ahead to proceed by the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling June 25 in Shelby County v. Holder that struck down a portion of the Voting Rights Act, finding it outdated.
Texas, South Carolina, Alabama, Virginia, Arkansas and Mississippi are all moving to implement rules designed to suppress the minority vote, rules which would not have been allowed or had already been blocked under the previous VRA regime.
North Carolina, which was not entirely covered by the VRA but does contain many counties that were, is also advancing several laws with intent to disenfranchise.
Most of the suppression laws come disguised as voter ID requirements, ostensibly to protect against in-person voter fraud. In-person voter fraud, outside of extremely rare and isolated cases, does not exist. Instead, the laws are designed the keep the estimated 25 percent of African-Americans and 16 percent of Latino citizens of voting age who do not possess valid IDs from casting a ballot.
In recent years the VRA has been used to stop implementation of discriminatory laws in Florida, Texas and South Carolina, among other states, but no more. The only way to stop suppression laws now is after they've already passed, with costly litigation that can take years to resolve.
Separation of Powers
The power to determine how and when states' voting laws should be scrutinized would by most readings lie with Congress, as codified in the 15th Amendment to the United States Constitution, which mandates that the right to vote not be denied because of "race, color, or previous condition of servitude," and "Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."
However, in a blatant violation of the separation of powers, the Supreme Court effectively vetoed a law passed by Congress without providing any legitimate constitutional justification for doing so. In order to support the decision, the court fabricated a new constitutional principle of "equal sovereignty of the states" and claimed that the federal government couldn't impose restrictions on some but not others.
It also deemed fit to throw out the preclearance requirements because they were based on bad, out-dated data from the 1960s. Even if that were true, it's unclear where the Supreme Court gets the authority to overturn laws that are based on bad data or bad assumptions, if they don't otherwise violate the Constitution.
Evidence of Discrimination
The argument that the requirements are outdated is also on shaky ground to begin with. The original formula for the areas designated for VRA scrutiny includes states and localities that had histories of discrimination back in the 1960s, but it was not static. On the contrary, the VRA contained provisions that voting areas could remove themselves from preclearance requirements with 10 years of good behavior.
They didn't exhibit good behavior. As Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg pointed out in her dissent, the covered jurisdictions accounted for 25 percent of the nation's population but 56 percent of successful litigation of violations since 1982.
When Congress reauthorized the law by overwhelming majorities in 2006, they held 21 hearings, listened to scores of witnesses and compiled 15,000 pages of legislative record that found "countless 'examples of flagrant racial discrimination' since the last reauthorization; Congress also brought to light systematic evidence that 'intentional racial discrimination in voting remains so serious and widespread in covered jurisdictions that section 5 preclearance is still needed.'"
Between 1982 and 2006, the Justice Department used their authorization to block 700 discriminatory laws, while another 800 were altered or withdrawn. Ginsburg said it well: "Throwing out preclearance when it has worked . . . is like throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because you are not getting wet."
A Big Experiment
"What this means is any changes in voting that are likely to have a discriminatory effect will no longer be stopped before they take effect," says Julie A. Nice, a professor at the University of San Francisco School of Law. "By changing a proactive system to an adjudication system after the fact really means there's not going to be the same kind of enforcement of nondiscrimination."
Now the nation can only wait and see how Congress responds, if at all, to set up new preclearance criteria, and how the lawsuits will play out as states across the land move to suppress and dilute the vote.
"It's a green light for voting districts to change their election procedures, and we know that's always partisan and we also know that elections are highly racialized," Nice says. "We'll see what happens to our democracy as a result. It's really a big experiment now."

In addition to vitamins and minerals, our food provides with us with important phytochemicals like antioxidants. Antioxidants are molecules that come from plants and animals and have extra electrons that are donated to free radicals, which are unstable molecules because they are missing an electron. When antioxidants are not available, free radicals attack healthy cells to get this electron.
"Scientists now believe that free radicals are causal factors in nearly every known disease, from heart disease to arthritis to cancer to cataracts. In fact, free radicals are a major culprit in the aging process itself. By controlling free radicals, antioxidants can make the difference between life and death, as well as influence how fast and how well we age." – Lester Packer, Ph.D. – Head of Packer Labs at the University of California, Berkeley.

Get a First Look at VH1's 'CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story'
TLC is one of the most successful music acts of all-time, grossing more than any other girl group ever. 'CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story' the VH1 biopic that's been in the works for a while now, finally has a teaser that gives fans an idea of what's to come from the made-for-TV movie.
Lil Mama, KeKe Palmer and Drew Sidora play the roles of Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, Chilli and T-Boz in the biopic, which depicts the trio's ascent to superstardom. Their music would eventually sell 65 million albums worldwide.
In the teaser, the cast acts out the videos for TLC's hits 'Waterfalls' and 'No Scrubs.' Surviving members (Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas) are executive producers for the movie. 'CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story' will air in October. Watch the first teaser for the biopic below.

If you've ever wondered about why there's a cut-off for 13-year-olds on Facebook, it's a result of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, which prevents companies from profiting from children's personal data. (That's why there's often an age cutoff of 13 for joining run-of-the-mill message boards, as well.) Of course, we all know that there are millions of preteens on Facebook who simply lie about their age, and Mark Zuckerberg wants that situation normalized. "That will be a fight we take on at some point," he says, "fight" presumably meaning a lobbying fight to change the law. Since he made the statement at a NewSchools Summit, he also says that this is about "education," an area of modern life that will apparently also be Facebookized. The Today Show helpfully pointed out how profitable this will be for Facebook.

Police: 2 boys killed McKees Rocks man in stolen phone case
Updated:MCKEES ROCKS, Pa. (AP) (AP)ong> - Allegheny County police have charged two 15-year-old boys with helping an 18-year-old man to rob and kill a Pittsburgh-area man targeted though contacts on a stolen phone.
Police on Monday charged Lavar Whitely and Dimitri Humphrey as adults with homicide and other crimes in the June 15 robbery of 19-year-old Scott King, of McKees Rocks.
Police contend the boys and 18-year-old Christopher West, who was arrested Friday, conspired to rob King after they stole a cellphone and started getting messages from King claiming he had marijuana to sell. Police said King was fatally shot as he was driving and crashed his vehicle.
Online records don't list attorneys for Whitely, who was already in a Pittsburgh juvenile detention center on unrelated charges, and Humphrey, who was arrested in Fort Worth, Texas, on Monday.

Everyone experiences anxiety from time to time.
This is normal.
This is why anxiety is not a medical, biological, chemical, or genetic problem.

Anxiety is a state which all normal people may experience, given the circumstances of severe stress.
What is anxiety?
Clinically, it can be defined as the inability to cope with the stresses of daily life, forcing an alteration or adaptation of normal behaviour.
Unlike endogenous depression, there are no chemical factors responsible for anxiety states.
Anxiety seldom arises alone, but is often seen in association with other factors. Severe or terminal illness, psychological or physical trauma, social trauma and depression are common predisposing factors.
Often, there is also a concomitant loss of confidence which exacerbates the anxiety state.
Episodes of anxiety may be accompanied by somatic symptoms such as sweating and palpitations. These are manifestations of an overstimulation of sympathetic nervous activity and are in themselves, the cause of more anxiety.
What happens to my body?
There are over 100 anxiety, anxiety attack, anxiety disorder, and panic attack signs and symptoms, including:
- Numbness and tingling
- Dizziness
- Chest pain
- Headaches
- Neck tension
- Stomach upset, nervous stomach
- Pulsing in the ear
- Burning skin
- Fear of impending doom
- Nausea
- Shortness of breath
- Electric shock feeling
- Shooting pains in the face
- Heart palpitations
- Weakness in legs
- Feeling like you are going crazy
- Inability to rest
- Sleep problems
Lifestyle changes
Treatments available for anxiety overlap considerably with those used to treat stress. The main forms of treatment include:
- Avoid artificial stimulants such as caffeine, alcohol and nicotine, which trigger adrenaline release and use up stressfighting nutrients.
- Avoid refined sugar, which causes blood sugar levels to spike and dip, and also depletes magnesium.
- Relaxation techniques – these include techniques such as yoga and meditation, or sessions involving massage or hypnotherapy. However, even simple breathing exercises , such as taking five minutes a day to close your eyes and breathe deeply may help relieve your symptoms
- Moderate exercise will improve oxygenation of tissues and release endorphins, the "happy" chemicals that improve your mood. For example, gentle walking releases muscle tension and clears the mind… unless you do it in a bustling downtown or on a divided highway.
- Talking to friends should help to put things into perspective.
When to consult your physician
See your doctor if:
- You feel like you're worrying too much and it's interfering with your work, relationships or other parts of your life
- Your fear, worry or anxiety is upsetting to you
- You feel depressed, have trouble with alcohol or drug use, or have other mental health concerns along with anxiety
- You think your anxiety could be linked to a physical health problem
- You have suicidal thoughts or behaviors — seek emergency treatment immediately

Process evaluation of RWJF's New Jersey Nursing Initiative: Nurse Will Be There for You program
The Foundation's New Jersey Nursing Initiative was designed to address the New Jersey nurse faculty shortage by developing, implementing and evaluating a statewide model for recruitment and retention of nurse faculty.The New Jersey nurse faculty shortage is traceable to a variety of factors, such as lack of funding for training scholarships and the lower status and salaries of nursing faculty compared to members of other disciplines. If successful, the Foundation's initiative may also help other states with nursing shortages to achieve similar goals by providing innovative educational models and lessons learned. Mathematica Policy Research, Inc., (MPR) will act as research consultant to RWJF and the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce (NJCC) to help program leaders understand whether and how the initiative secured commitments from participating stakeholders to work on the New Jersey nursing faculty shortage. The evaluators will assess program design and implementation and provide evaluation insight to the program development team. They will also identify innovative educational models and prepare a limited number of evaluability assessments. And, finally, they will to plan for a summative evaluation of the initiative. Key activities supported through this evaluation include: providing assistance to the coordinating center and RWJF for program design and data collection to ensure that the NJCC collects data that support program improvement and evaluation needs; and collecting qualitative data from stakeholders and providing RWJF, NJCC, and the stakeholders with rapid, formative feedback on the initiative's performance in the form of oral reports, short, targeted memos, and written reports. Project deliverables include brief "highlight" or summary memos on early findings and early lessons; targeted "response" memos to address specific queries from NJCC or RWJF staff related to this initiative or to other initiatives and evaluability assessments of the potential for evaluating innovative educational models. The project will be considered successful if the evaluators are able to provide useful, timely information to the program staff; if they are able to identify the critical events that led to alignment of interests, explain how interested parties got involved, and indicate how the initiative interacts with New Jersey and higher education politics; and if they identify and assess the feasibility of evaluating at least two innovative nursing education models in New Jersey.

Pharmacists must remind patients not to drink alcohol while taking the drug, which can make the effects more severe. A prescription medication known as flibanserin Viagra originally developed as an antidepressant has been approved by the FDA as a treatment for low sexual desire in premenopausal women. Your doctor may female recommend consulting a sex therapist. It was originally investigated in 1995 by pharmacologist Franco Borsini and a team of researchers at Boehringer Ingelheim Italia in Milan as an antidepressant because of its ability to regulate neurotransmittersthe brains chemical-signaling molecules.
Doctors will only be able to prescribe the clitoris after counselling patients about potential side-effects, including low blood pressure, nausea and fainting.
For some women, orgasm can be elusive causing societies or preoccupations that lead to a loss of interest in sex. 5-HT1A acts like brakes for serotonin production, and Viagra accelerates production. Trials after the drug is on the market (slated for October) will take a closer look at how alcohol really interacts with the drug. In its first week on the market, almost 40,000 prescriptions were written. The libido enhancement drug flibanserin (trade name Addyi) took center stage last week after winning long-sought approval from the Over female, psychological troubles can contribute to biological problems and vice versa.
But the little pink progresses, to be sold under the brand name Addyi, have proven controversial.
But Cara isn't alone in her suspicion that a viagra standard is at university. Promising female benefits, illegitimate pharmacies promote a range of pills, powders and jellies. "We had amazing sexual chemistry," Cara says.

Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth (edition 2006)
by Simon R. Green
Work details
Sharper Than A Serpent's Tooth by Simon R. Green
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I can't get enough of this series! I don't know what i'm going to do when I finally catch up to the end!
It feels like the ongoing trauma has been buttoned up quite nicely.
Green gives you a lot in his books, and he has a great love for cliches'. It somehow works for him though. He's able to give us a really great series that get you thinking on all manner of thoughts on: religion, human depravity, morbid humor, a little folklore or histories/prophecies. The list just goes on.
Check this out if you're not to squeamish.
In Sharper Than a Serpent�??s Tooth, the sixth novel in Simon R. GreenÂ??s NIGHTSIDE series, John Taylor and Suzie Shooter have just returned from the past where they discovered the origin of JohnÂ??s mother, Lilith, and witnessed the birth of the Nightside. Now that theyÂ??re back in the present, they are determined to stop Lilith from destroying what she created and remaking the Nightside in her own image.
First they must rescue JohnÂ??s secretary, Cathy, who has been kidnapped. Then John wants to raise an army that they hope can stop Lilith, but heÂ??s haunted by visions of a future where he has destroyed the Nightside and his friends, so he decides to travel forward in time to get some answers. Perhaps if he knows the future, he can change it.
Besides the future, the other interesting places John visits include the cellar of Strangefellows, Rotten Row, Simulacra Corner, the Necropolis, a faerie sweat shop, the Bazaar of the Bizarre (a reference to Fritz LeiberÂ??s LANKHMAR books) and the Street of the Gods (another Lankhmar reference). Along the way he gets help from and/or pisses off a lot of the strange characters weÂ??ve already met, and some new ones, too. ThereÂ??s Alex Morrisey, Kid Psychoses, Tommy Oblivion, Sneaky Pete, Razor Eddie, Sandra Chance, The Collector, The Little Sisters of the Immaculate Chain-Saw, dancing ghost girls, the Carrion in Tears, Dead Boy, Julien Advent, Jessica Sorrow, Count Video, King of Skin, the Doormouse, the Engineer, Walker, the Beadle, Merlin Satanspawn, and the Lord of Thorns. He even meets the guys in suits who run the Nightside on the backend.
Eventually there�?s a huge long battle when Lilith appears on the Street of Gods and everything blows up. This becomes so furiously paced, so �?epic,� and so over-the-top that it is actually dull. Green hits us with everything and everyone at once �? each person is more powerful than the person mentioned before, wiping away enemies with their vague superpowers such as �?undoing probabilities and spreading nightmares� (what does that look like?). For all the build-up, it was a little disappointing, mostly because the action was so frantic and intangible. This part of the story, which was the climax, had little tension or impact, though several characters die. (I�?m not sure if they�?ll stay dead.)... Read the rest:
Lilith is back and is making her move! She needs John to complete her vision - and will call in all favours and allegiances owed to her. Of course, John doesn't this want this to happen -and to do this, he needs to call all the help he can get.
Onto the review - Its an excellent ending to John Taylor's Story. Again, these stories are not high on literary value. They are fast, easy, full of gore, a perfect mix for beach reading. Its fairly typical in plot - John needs to fix a problem, calls up a bunch of acquaintances to do, goes on a spree of violence, and than fixes the problem.
Another great addition to this series. once again I didn't see the ending coming. but I am glad this plotline is over because it was get a bit monotonous. can't wait to see what else is going to happen in the Nightside now.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0441013872, Mass Market Paperback)
My name is John Taylor. I'm a PI for hire in the Nightside, the dark and corrupt city within the city of London. Where the sun never shines and where pleasure and horror are always on sale—for the right price.
Not a nice place to visit or a nice place to live. So you wouldn't think I would care that it was about to be destroyed, by none other than my very own long-missing, not-quite-human mom.
But I do. I was born here, I live here, and I got friends here. They might not all be acceptable in polite company, but they're my friends, nonetheless.
I know that I'm the only one who can stop her. The trick is, how to do it without fulfilling this prophecy that says whatever action I take, not only is the Nightside doomed, but the rest of the world will soon follow…

I will be watching over my family and all kitties and furbabies from heaven. Thank you for the support you are giving to my family.
My mommy likes this one because I am awake. Apparently she thinks I sleep a lot. 22 hours a day is a lot? I don't think so!
Today my mommy let me taste some of her chicken from a chicken wing. I never ate it before but I loved it! The only other people food I have had is turkey, tuna, tostitos, cheese nips and goldfish crackers.
Mommy said it's a once in a while treat. Boy was it yummy!

Bulls vs Nets Series Odds 2013 NBA Playoff Picks
The Brooklyn Nets and Chicago Bulls, the four and five seeds in the Eastern Conference respectively, open a seven game playoff series tomorrow at the Barclays Center in New York. The Nets, who are favored at -4.5 against the spread in Saturday's Game 1 clash, produced the better regular season record at 49-33 and they are expected to win the upcoming series. Bulls vs Nets Series Odds 2013 NBA Playoff Picks at Bovada.lv have Brooklyn listed as a -140 moneyline favorite ($140 wins $100) to advance to the post season's second round.
The Bulls had tumultuous season as a host of injuries led to, at times, inconsistent play; however, despite the season long absence of their star player, Derrick Rose, they still managed to produce 45 wins. Chicago's defensive prowess (allowed just 92.9 points per game) enabled it to overcome its lack of offensive punch, a weakness directly related to Rose being out of the lineup. While Rose could give the team a playoff boost, he will, in all probability, not play in the Nets series; the former MVP is currently listed as doubtful for Saturday's series opener.
The Nets suffered through some inconsistencies as well, but they too survived them, finishing up the season with a 49-33 record. Brooklyn, also one of the league's top defensive teams (95.1 points per game allowed), took a while getting used to luxury suite laden Barclays Center as it nearly won as many games on the road as it did at home (26 to 23).
Brooklyn, which enters the playoffs on a 6-1 run, also had its troubles with the Bulls this season. Chicago took three of four from the Nets, winning twice at the United Center and once in Brooklyn (92-90 on April 4th).

The impact of very premature birth on the psychological health of mothers
Davis, Leigh M., Edwards, Helen E., Mohay, Heather A., & Wollin, Judy (2003) The impact of very premature birth on the psychological health of mothers. Early Human Development, 73(1-2), pp. 61-70.
Background: The birth of a very premature infant is a critical event in the life of a family and studies have shown that mothers of these infants are at greater risk of psychological distress than mothers of full-term infants. Study design: A total population study of mothers of preterm infants born at less than 32-week gestation at a tertiary referral hospital. Subjects and methods: Sixty-two mothers of very preterm infants (<32 weeks) participated in the present study which examines correlates of maternal depressive symptomatology at 1 month following very premature birth. Information was obtained from structured questionnaires completed by mothers at 1 month after infant admission to neonatal intensive care. Results: Forty percent of the mothers reported significant depressive symptoms on the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS). Logistic regression analysis indicated that high maternal stress resulted in an increased likelihood of depressive symptoms (OR 1.15, CI 1.04–1.26, p<0.01). Higher levels of maternal education (p<0.05), and increased perception of support from nursing staff (OR 1.06, CI 0.88–1.00, p<0.05) resulted in decreased likelihood of depressive symptoms. Conclusions: The birth and subsequent hospitalisation of a very premature infant evokes considerable psychological distress in mothers. These results have implications for policy development in order to enhance family centred care in the neonatal intensive care.

About Me
- Bio
I'm Emma, I'm 22, and I have an Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified. It pretty much means I don't fit a certain category of Eating Disorders but have episodes of Binge Eating and Compulsive Overeating.
I've spent my life trying to lose weight, succeeding and failing on so many occasions that I am officially a yo-yo dieter. I'm on a mission to ditch the diets and attempt to boost my body image by convincing myself that maybe I'm not too bad, just as I am, Bridget-Jones-style.
There are a lot of women, and men, out there who have crash-dieted, cried at their own reflection and felt like they needed to change their weight in order to be accepted. Trust me, I've been there. And I'm a tad sick of it. So I'm tracking my attempts at convincing myself that curvy women can be healthy and happy with a little junk in their trunk, and also to educate people about the lesser publicised over-eating disorders.

Helicopter Parents
10,000 applications, 2,400 slots, competition is tougher than ever to get into Georgia Tech's freshman class.  It's not just potential students who are feeling anxious as the await an answer. So are their parents.
"We usually get daily phone calls from parents. We get a lot of that 'We have applied for admissions and we were filling out our forms,'" said Ingrid Hayes, Georgia Tech admission director.Â
Hayes and other experts have a name for moms and dads who may be a bit too involved in their childrens lives. They call them helicopter parents.
"The term comes from the concept of hovering and they're always around their kid's life, not really allowing kids to figure out solutions to problems on their own," said Dean of Students John Stein. Â
He often has to deal with the effects. Â
"The student begins to believe that he or she actually can't do it on their own," said Stein. Â
Psychologist Mark Crawford says teenagers need to learn coping skills before they leave home. Â
"You don't learn resilience. You don't learn independence without tripping up sometimes. Don't let yourself panic when you see your kids falling." said Crawford. Â
He says making mistakes and learning from them early on is often the best way to avoid problems in the future. Â

text: UPDATED 05:38 3rd August 2014 Goalkeeper Paul started his career as a youngster with Newcastle United and joined Blyth Spartans following spells at Monkseaton Academy and Washington before signing for Gateshead in the summer of 2009. Paul played eight times for the Imps in the 2011/12 season whilst on loan from Gateshead, keeping two clean sheets in the process, but a groin strain forced his return to his native north east. Involved with the England C squad prior to his loan move to Sincil Bank, Paul made a further nine appearances for Gateshead following his return and following his release, returned to the Imps on a permanent deal in May 2012. An impressive first full season with the Club was rewarded with a new two-year contract and this was extended further towards the end of the 2014/15 season; a campaign which saw the popular stopper win the supporters' "Player of the Season" award.
