Hidden in Plain Sight
Let's face it: you can't write a story about much of anything without exposition. It's necessary. Exposition is the nuts and bolts of a story. It's the back story, the setting, the critical things about characters and locations we have to know for the plot and dialogue to make sense.
Exposition is the detail that pulls the reader in. It's the lens that brings motive into focus. It's the who, what, when and where that makes the why meaningful. But, oh boy, can it be a beast to write.
Thinking about the processes of both writing and reading exposition, I've come to the conclusion that the best exposition is the exposition I don't even notice. I'll give you an example.
When I read the Harry Potter books, the writer in me knows full well what JK Rowling is up to. She's planted Hermione right there, center stage in her story, and given her this know-it-all attitude and an unquenchable desire to speak every bit of background she's aware of as a clever (oh-so-clever) way of sneaking exposition into the books without boring the reader. Hermione's read Hogwarts, a History, and she makes the highest possible marks, and she's "the smartest witch of her age" so she knows, well, very nearly every bit of detail the reader could possibly need to know and then a smidge more on top. Her character is a double-agent, not only a significant facet of the story and an important personality within Harry's world, but also Rowling's personal smuggler, feeding us exposition by the spoonful every chance she gets.
And you know what? I don't care. In fact, I don't even notice. I buy her as a character. I believe she's smart and that she likes sharing her knowledge and I roll with it every single time she opens her mouth. She is the queen of exposition hidden in plain sight.
The cardinal rule of fiction, according to a teacher I had in college, is "show, don't tell". If you can manage that with your exposition you'll rarely have to worry about boring your reader with details. It is, admittedly, hard to pull off an all-knowing character like Hermione without your hidden agenda becoming obvious, but there are other ways. Exposition doesn't have to be delivered in a single, sweeping blow. Let it be the rich, brothy fluid your story is marinaded in. Let it slip into dialogue. Hand it off to the reader in small chunks so that we want to know more and are never bored with information overload. And let us connect some dots on our own. Sometimes exposition is just pointing us, your readers, in a direction and letting us piece the details together.
You can't write fiction without exposition any more than a story can exist in a void. We have to know the back story, and you have to tell it. You're the writer. But exposition is more than a necessary evil. It's a part of the craft. Find ways to use it to draw your readers in. Make it part of the strength of your story. After all, that's what good writers do.

I'm 24 weeks into a 50 week process. My midlines no longer align, and all my bottom teeth are now skewed to the left and even?
- abirdsong
- Last updated: 3 years ago
crooked. Before, my teeth always got compliments and were perfectly straight after wearing braces twice as a child. The Invisalign was simply to correct front teeth that were gradually moving forward and my bite. I think this is a total disaster, and I'm thoroughly disfigured. Should I stop the process? Seek a new orthodontist?

"The purpose was to provide transportation where there was a need," said Ray Beck, the man responsible for overseeing and establishing the City-owned transit system in Columbia from its inception 50 years ago in 1965. Beck says that the goal should always be to improve the system and "keep the buses clean, reliable and timely." These values have held strong over time and have guided and shaped Columbia's public bus service over the last 50 years into what it is today.
Prior to the City's involvement with the public bus system, Columbia's bus service was privately run by Glenn E. Watson. Known as The Columbia Municipal Bus Lines, Watson's fleet was comprised of only around 3 or 4 small buses and ran from 1939 to 1965. In the Spring of 1965, after operating at a deficit for several years and failing to turn things around financially, Watson approached the City of Columbia. Unable to land a subsidy to continue operating the Bus Lines, Watson eventually proposed that the City take over the bus service.
Due to the bus system's lack of profit margin, the City was initially very reluctant and tabled the issue. However, in August of 1965, after surveying the public and determining that there was in fact a demand for the buses, Columbia City Council created a new transportation division within the Public Works Department. Beck, a Public Works employee at the time, was put in charge of the new division and given a 30 day deadline to make all necessary arrangements to run a successful transit system.
"It was a big challenge to start the bus system as quick as we did," Beck said, "We didn't have any buses. We didn't have any drivers. We didn't have any route layouts. We didn't have anything."
Beck turned to the Missouri Bi-State Development Agency, the company in charge of the St. Louis bus system at the time, for some much needed advice and assistance. Bi-State obliged and provided the City with temporary buses, training personnel and a route consultant.
On September 9, 1965, the Columbia bus system was officially born. The fledgeling service featured an orbital pulse style route system that used 9th and Broadway as the original transfer point with rates of 15 cents per ride. Football service, student shuttles and additional routes were added as demand from the Columbia public grew. Over the next decades, the bus service continued to grow and adapt to the public's needs, eventually garnering an annual ridership of over one million.
In more recent years, however, the City became increasingly aware that a change needed to be made in order to continue providing the public with the reliable transit service established in earlier times. According to retired Para-Transit bus driver, Rob Davis, the old, orbital pulse style route system needed to adapt to maintain efficiency. "Traffic was getting so bad that there was no way the old system could work. Buses were getting further and further behind in the afternoons, they had to make a change."
This change came in the form of a challenge from City Manager Mike Matthes, who implored transit staff to come up with a plan to revitalize and improve upon the existing bus system. In 2013, the improvement plan, known as COMO Connect, introduced a new networked route system with routes circulating customers into core connector routes that promised to better serve the Columbia public.
On February 17, 2014, Columbia City Council approved the staff's COMO Connect project, effectively introducing the new route system and name. While the transition from the Columbia Transit orbital pulse routes to the new COMO Connect networked system was not entirely without its hiccups, much of the public has appreciated and embraced the efforts made.
Cindy Mustard, former Executive Director of the Voluntary Action Center, a local nonprofit social service agency that has worked with the transit system to help more than 5,000 low-income candidates get bus passes in order to become more independent, has seen a noticeable improvement since the change. Prior to this reevaluation of the system, the transit officials "didn't always listen to what the riders wanted," said Mustard, "it was taking people a lot of time to get from point a to b." However, after the rebrand and implementation of the new networked system, "there's more networking and a lot more bus stops. It makes more sense."
Mustard went on to say that neighborhood routes better answer questions like "Where are the basic needs? Where are the jobs" stating that "the City has come around to addressing these problems a lot better than they used to." When describing how the public would be impacted if the bus system no longer existed, Mustard said "It would be a lot more difficult for people to get to work, or to that first job interview without buses. Without buses, I think a lot of people would be stranded."
Davis too agreed that continuing public transit in Columbia should remain a priority, saying "a lot of people think that a transit system should make money, but that's not what it's for. It's an all encompassing type of thing that helps everyone." Going on to say that Para-Transit passengers in particular "realize that it's their lifeline to staying independent and getting to do what they want with their lives."
Since its start 50 years ago in 1965 under the guidance and influence of transit staff , the Columbia bus system has managed to navigate countless changes and challenges. By continuously looking to the public for guidance and input, the system will continue to adapt in order to remain relevant and reliable for years to come.
The City of Columbia has a long history of bus transportation, and without even knowing it, it has affected every aspect of our lives. For many years it has helped hard working men and women get to work and earn a living for their family. It has helped kids get to and from school, and out to meet up with their friends at the movies or local diner. It's been the symbol of team spirit as the "Spirit Bus" shuttle for football games at Mizzou. It's also created steady jobs for many drivers and staff members in our community over the years.
The city bus may never be viewed as the flashiest or swankiest part of Columbia's rich history, but to our customers and our staff, it's an important part of our lives that helps us connect with our community and our lives wouldn't be the same without it. Our customers are the faces of public transit, and their stories and memories are our history.
We are asking Columbia to share your stories with us and tell us how the city bus has been a part of your life. What's your earliest memory of riding the city bus in Columbia? Is there a certain driver that made a special impact on your life? Do you have any photos or videos of riding the bus 10, 20, 30 years ago?

Thank god I never got into the Stila lipglaze craze. Along comes my beloved Estee Lauder with their own adaption in the slickest, elegant packaging with the same click click and brush brush of some serious lipgloss. The shine factor is not as intense which is great, so it looks very similar to a semi matte lipstick. Very impressed. Only sold online or at Neiman Marcus before it is officially released everywhere. Enjoy!

The time will come when the average person will not be allowed to grow a vegtable for consumssion or to sell to thier neibours.
Besides whole milk is good. My grandma used to milk the cow and make butter from the milk. It was good, not like today the milk is all watered down.
It is the government wanting more and more control over everybodies lives.

I grew up on the stuff. Needed milk for your cereal, go out to the milkhouse and dip a jug full out of the tank. I'm still alive... A Canadian Amish farmer recently got pinched as well... Stupid governments.

I think it's crazy that he changed his business model to meet the legal requirements and that they still went after him. Also, the government is employing too many people if they have time for this crap.

I am a raw milk drinker, or I was until the farmer that supplied me with my cow share got scared of the Feds and started pasturizing his milk. I drank it daily for over three years. Now I'm on a waiting list with a new source. It is the only milk I will drink.

Supreme Chancelor!
whats the point
A: No! There is a lot of variation due to the many factors that go into its formation. What the cow is fed, how and where it's raised, how the milk is collected all play important roles in its safety and quality. Cows pastured on organic green grass produce milk with amazing health benefits.
Q: Won't raw milk make me sick?
A: Not if it is properly collected from cows fed organic grass (and a minimum of grain). Heavy grain diets change the composition of the milk and hinder its ability to protect itself. Grass-fed milk has natural antibiotic properties that help protect it (and those lucky enough to drink it) from pathogenic bacteria. If you've been using pasteurized dairy products, you might want to eat small amounts of yogurt or kefir for a week or so, to give your digestive tract a pro-biotic boost, before switching to raw milk.
Q: I want to try raw milk! How can I get it?
A: The amazing folks at the Weston A. Price Foundation have an excellent site that lists raw dairy suppliers in almost every state and in several countries around the world. Click here to begin your search.
Q: What is pasteurization?
A: Adapted to partially sterilize raw foods (from a technique originally invented by French scientist Louis Pasteur for use on beer and wine), pasteurization is a heating process designed to destroy all bacteria and most enzyme activity. Along with partial sterility, the pasteurized product then has a much longer shelf life. UHT pasteurized milk (totally sterilized) can last for months without refrigeration. Just to be clear, milk that has been pasteurized can no longer be considered 'raw.'
Q: What is homogenization?
A: Homogenization is the process of forcing whole milk through small orifices under very high pressure. This breaks the fat globules into much smaller particles and prevents the cream from rising to the top. The intense pressure also subjects the milk to high heat for a second time, alters color, flavor and, very likely, nutritional value of the end product.
Q: I'm lactose intolerant. Can I drink raw milk?
A: Chances are good that you may, even if you're of African or Asian descent, assuming you can find a reliable source near your home. Unheated milk contains its full complement of enzymes and lactase-producing bacteria needed by our bodies to break down and assimilate the milk sugar lactose. These helpful bacteria are killed in the pasteurization/homogenization process. Fermented milk products, such as yogurt and kefir, naturally lower in lactose due to the actions of various Lactobacillus and other lactic acid-producing bacteria, may be better tolerated by some.
Q: What if I'm allergic to milk?
A: While a valuable food, dairy products, raw or otherwise, are not everyone's cup of tea. Milk allergies are very real and serious threats today- just ask any pediatrician. Barring the small percentage of folks allergic to all forms of the milk protein casein, you might be able to tolerate raw milk with its self-digesting food enzymes intact. Again, fermented dairy products may be better tolerated by some individuals.
Q: What about the saturated fat and cholesterol in milk?
A: These two very controversial but extremely essential substances are found in every cell membrane in our bodies. Without them, we'd soon die. There's far too much to discuss in a few sentences, so click on the two links above to learn more about why these two important ingredients of whole, raw milk are so crucial to your health.
Q: Can anybody drink raw milk?
A: Yes, with a nod to those folks whom it just doesn't suit, but there are a few important exceptions. For infants, there's absolutely no substitute for mother's milk, however, should that be unavailable for some unfortunate reason, baby formula with raw milk as a base can fill in nicely. Individuals with a compromised immune system, whether due to illness, medication, chemo-therapy or genetic malfunction, may be able to drink it, but should consult with a raw milk-friendly medical professional before attempting it.
Q: Doesn't raw milk contain hormones?
A: Yes, it has trace amounts of naturally occurring hormones and growth factors- key bioactive ingredients that make it such a valuable, healing food. Raw milk, especially that from cows fed organic green grass, isn't just a great tasting food, it's powerful medicine. That's likely one of the major reasons it's unavailable in so many states. After all, we can't have people healing themselves, now can we?
Q: What about raw skim milk?
A: Raw milk from grass-fed cows is a complete and balanced food. You could literally live on it and nothing else for the rest of your life. Not so with skim milk. By removing important fats and fat-soluble vitamins in the skimming process, this once excellent food actually becomes a burden on the body, causing the liver to give up stored nutrients in its digestion. The loss of CLA, pathogen-busting medium-chain triglycerides and vitamin A alone constitutes an unforgivable crime against nature's perfect food. Rather than avoiding fat, take the time to learn why its presence is essential to your health (see fat link above). My advice? Skip the skim. Your body will thank you.
Q: How long will raw milk keep?
A: When kept at the optimal temperature of 36-38° F. (2.2-3.3°C.) you can expect fresh raw milk to last from 7-10 days. Higher temperatures allow the normally occurring lactobacilli to get busy making lactic acid, which gives soured milk its characteristically tangy taste and reduces its shelf life. Bring a cooler bag and ice or gel packs with you when buying milk on hot summer days or if you have a long drive home - it'll stay fresher tasting longer.
Q: Can raw milk be used in cooking?
A: Ideally, no. The whole idea behind not pasteurizing milk straight from the cow is to preserve the delicate bioactive factors it contains. When heated to cooking temperatures or poured into coffee or tea close to the boiling point, you're effectively pasteurizing it and thus depriving yourself of the beneficial enzymes, immunoglobulins and other factors it contains, as well as increasing its allergenicity. Hi-speed blending can physically damage raw milk as well, so if you like smoothies, puree the other ingredients first, then stir in the raw milk.
Q: Is it okay to freeze raw milk (i.e. is there any nutritional loss)?
A: Depending on who you ask (or who funded the study) freezing raw milk has either 'no appreciable effect' on nutritive value, or it substantially impacts flavor, texture and consistency. I can vouch for the off-taste and altered mouth-feel. To me, frozen is a poor substitute for fresh.
One study found vitamins B-6 and C levels reduced by freezing, another noted disruption of fat globules (probably the reason taste is altered), hydrolysis of triglycerides and decreased linoleic and linolenic fatty acid levels. There is fairly general agreement that the longer it remains frozen, the greater the loss of bacterial inhibiting ability. But whether all that adds up to detrimental? Good question.
I find freezing tantamount to processing because the thawed product differs significantly from that straight out of the cow. I don't think it'll hurt you, assuming it came from clean, grass-fed animals, but for me, fresh is much more preferable than frozen, if only from an enjoyment standpoint.

government needs to back down, too big. Stupid is as stupid does. If drinking raw milk kills people, the word will spread. If it doesn't, the word will spread. If they were forcing people to consume it, shut them down. This is a free country (well, it used to be) and people can choose stupid if they want. They can choose smart if they want.

Sutherland (18-8) disposed of Brett Sizeland by first-round TKO at July's Cage Warriors 48 in London. The 39-year-old went on to comprehensively defeat Leeroy Barnes by unanimous decision in September.
Denniston Sutherland will be searching for his third consecutive win of 2012 at Cage Warriors 50 (Photo: Dolly Clew/Cage Warriors).
A Jamaican fighter based in England, Sutherland is ranked 11th in the UK and has recorded other notable victories over Cage Warriors veterans John Phillips and Jack Mason, as well as former UFC middleweight Mark Weir.
Cage Warriors 50 will also feature the likes top Scottish-based pair Paul McVeigh and Graham Turner, with more fights set to be announced this week.

Add a cistern
An inch of rain puts about 600 gallons of water atop a 1,000-square-foot house. Rain gutters capture it; from a downspout, you can direct it into a cistern to help water your garden.
At Islandwood Environmental Learning Center on Bainbridge Island, Washington, three steel cisterns store rainwater from a nearby roof. By the time vegetables start growing in spring, the tanks are full and the water travels through a gravity-fed drip system to irrigate crops.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – The Northern Arizona men's basketball team will open the season at Iowa State on November 12, host a game at Tim's Toyota Center in Prescott and play a tough non-conference road slate in the 2010-11 schedule, Head Coach Mike Adras announced Tuesday.
The Lumberjacks will play in the Global Sports Hy-Vee Challenge that will take them to Iowa State (Nov. 12, Ames, Iowa), Creighton (Nov. 14, Omaha, Neb.) and Kennesaw State (Nov. 22) in Atlanta, Ga., in the first month of the season, while hosting a games against Alabama State as part of the four-game event.
The Lumberjacks will tipoff their "home" season on Nov. 16 with a game against Alabama State in Prescott at the Tim's Toyota Center.
"It is a new venue for our team," said Head Coach Mike Adras. "We have played all over the state and it will be a chance to showcase our basketball program and our university. It is a nice opportunity to bring the Prescott community and Flagstaff community closer together."
The first regular season home game in Flagstaff comes three days later on Nov. 19 at the Rolle Activity Center against Southwestern College as part of a doubleheader with the women's program. It is the first of 12 men's regular season games in the facility due to the construction project in the Walkup Skydome.
"It is going to be rocking in Rolle," said Adras. "It is a smaller venue and I think the fans are going to love it. It is going to be a great place for the fans to be intimidating to the opponent and make a difference in ball games. Our players are going to love it and the band is going to be loud. It is going to be a very festive couple hours of basketball every time we play basketball in the facility."
The Lumberjacks host Bethany (Dec. 4), Texas Pan American (Dec. 8) and Air Force (Dec. 22) in December before the start of conference play. They also travel to USC and Arizona, playing two Pac-10 opponents in back-to-back contests Dec. 11 and 16, respectively.
NAU opens Big Sky Conference play Dec. 29 at Montana and plays Montana State on a special New Year's Eve afternoon contest in Bozeman on Dec. 31. They play host to Idaho State and Weber State the first weekend of January to open the home conference slate.
All 29 regular season contests will be broadcast on the Lumberjack Radio Network on 105.1 FM The Big Talker in Flagstaff, Prescott and Sedona. NAU Television Services is also scheduled to televise 10 games this season from Rolle on Dish Network 9411 with distribution to Fox College Sports and FS Arizona. The full television schedule will be available on nauathletics.com.
The Lumberjacks will open the season with an exhibition contest on Nov. 3 against Western New Mexico at 6:35 p.m.
"I highly recommend people get tickets well in advance because of the limited space available in the facility," said Adras.
Tickets are available for the season by calling NAU Athletics at 928-523-5353.

Grilled Squid Salad with Mango
This simple salad contrasts the smoky grilled squid and chipotle chile with the refreshing arugula and diced mango.
- Servings: 8
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon minced seeded chipotle chile in adobo (see Note)
- 2 tablespoons finely shredded fresh mint
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 1/4 pounds cleaned small squid
- Vegetable oil, for brushing
- 1/2 cup cooked black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup finely diced mango
- 3 cups arugula leaves, torn into bite-size pieces
How to make this recipe
In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, lime juice, honey, chipotle, mint, and cilantro. Whisk in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Light a charcoal grill or heat a grill pan over moderate heat. Brush the squid with vegetable oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill for about 3 minutes per side, turning once, or until lightly charred. Transfer to a cutting board and cut the squid into 1-inch pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the squid, black beans, mango and two-thirds of the dressing. Arrange the arugula on a platter and drizzle with the remaining dressing. Top with the warm squid salad and serve.
Chipotle chile in adobo is available at Latin American markets and specialty food stores.
Suggested Pairing
For the spicy flavors of this food, Laurence Kretchmer, Bobby Flay's business partner and overseer of the wine lists at his restaurants, likes Pinot Blanc, a dry, crisp wine with some nice suggestions of fruit, specifically orange and melon in the nose. It's a little rounder and richer than a Sauvignon Blanc. It also has more body and acidity, which makes it a great foil for the heat of the chiles. The wine exhibits excellent fruit and goes beautifully with the snapper and the squid salad.

Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0830744746, Paperback)
Stories about athletes and coaches usually focus on their championships or their scandals. All the Good in Sports features 20 contemporary sports personalities who go beyond the headlines to candidly share how their relationship with Christ has helped them cope with a variety of difficulties, both professional and personal, and how in Christ they found victory in their personal lives. Many professing Christians in the sports world have achieved wealth and notoriety, but life's luxuries do not exempt them from life's difficulties. Name recognition and personal fortune cannot rescue one whose marriage is on the rocks, one facing substance abuse, or one facing disease or even death. The sports heroes featured in All the Good in Sports are not super human. They go through the same pendulum of emotions you and I do when life deals us a punch in the stomach. However, what they discover—or rediscover—is a God who is faithful and responsive in their time of need.

New Firehouse in Westwood
(Westwood) -- Just over a year since breaking ground, a new fire station has been dedicated in Cincinnati. Station 35 is on Harrison, near McHenry, and has a lot over the station it will replace.
For photos, Click Here.
The old Station 35 can house only one fire truck. The new building has four bays. It also has living quarters for both male and female firefighters.
Matt Alter says the new firehouse is long overdue. He says it brings the Westwood fire company, known as the Midnight Express, into the modern age. The head of the firefighters union, Local 48 says the new station is a lot bigger, and gives them more room for equipment and training, and will allow them to host community meetings.
Alter says Westwood could still use another firehouse, just because the neighborhood is so busy.
The President of the Westwood Civic Association says the location on Harrison is great, and having an ambulance there is even better. Joel Kimmet says having an ambulance in the neighborhood will decrease response times. Right now, he says someone with a medical emergency has to wait for an ambulance to come from Price Hill, or Northside.
He says improved public safety will go a long way to opening up the neighborhood for redevelopment. Kimmet says a study showed economic activity increased in the neighborhoods where Cincinnati has built new fire stations. He's expecting the same to happen around the new Station 35.
Westwood is the city's largest neighborhood, with about 35,000 people. The new station should be operational by the end of November.

Cool Cover Alert: Lily Allen Covers Keane for New British Advert
It's not even Thanksgiving yet and already the holiday adverts have started to take a hold of TV, Radio + online. Normally we'd be annoyed by the early holiday urgency but this new commercial from UK retailer John Lewis is just too whimsically cute to hate on and features the first new music that we've heard from Lily Allen in over 4 years! Lily's take on Keane's 'Somewhere Only We Know' is uplifting and perfectly pairs with the classic animated style of the commercial which combines traditional 2D hand-drawn animation, stop frame, and 3D model made sets to:
Lily Allen + Keane have crossed paths before, most notably for a joint concert set at Keane's 'Curate a Night for War Child' charitable concert event at Brixton Academy back in 2007. The event was a huge success raising both awareness and a substantial amount of money for the War Child International - a charity dedicated to helping children affected by war.
Lily Allen feat. Keane - 'Smile' + 'Everybody's Changing'

Tame body kit for 2000 Zx3
I want a tame kit for a 2000 Zx3. My budget is ~ $600
I need:
Front fenders
Front Bumper
Side skirts
I'd like:
Rear bumper
How about:
x2 fenders
B2 Front Bumper
Drifter Side Skirts
Buddy Club Rear
I'd just do an Svt swap super subtle and clean
svt swaps don't pop up much though,kinda makes me want to track down the front,rear and sides and see if extreme dimensions would reproduce them
svt or the oem lip kit would be nice. go with stock style fenders, anything else is rice
Does an SVT body panel swap cost less than the $400 a DuraFlex kit costs? And would I need to go get fenders as well?
BTW I actually need to do the body work (some local hooligans at the mall decided beating up my car would be a great way to spend their day a few months ago. At least they only trashed four easily swappable parts...)
Can't just do a lip. The panels I listed as needing are all damaged.
That would be neat if ED made replica svt parts...
back on topic..
Look around the BST around here for sales of bumpers and such..
on ED website there is a few examples
Is there more work involved with prepping a used body part for paint/install than there is buying a new one?
My in-laws are doing my paint and body work at their industrial coatings shop --they don't normally do cars, and I don't want to make this any harder than it has to be for the shop crew.
actually a used body part is 100x easier to install... Reason Im saying this, is because I have had body kits before, and each one required work to make fit perfectly. Nothing like OEM parts.

time to load Hornady Zombie Max ammo. messed up world we live in
And I would have liked to have been the one to put a 9mm in OBL's worthless dome, so don't you dare call me unpatriotic. I didn't serve in the military because going into a country and forcing a puppet government on people who don't want to be free because it takes too much personal responsibility has nothing to do with fighting the scum who killed three thousand of my fellow Americans. I want to be a cop because of the members of the NYPD who ran into the buildings to rescue the few people they could and especially those who knew that they were going to lose THEIR lives in the process. I want to end the wars, because I am sick of MY countrymen dying at the hands of people who are SUPPOSED to be our allies.
IF I ever realize my dream of working in Law Enforcement, I will enforce all laws on the books. That doesn't mean I have to agree with them.
Bath Salts? Forgive my naivety, but is this some new type of designer drug or literally bath salts? I am going to assume its a new type of drug.... otherwise I will be quietly getting rid of my wifes bath & body works collection. I don't want her crawling out of the tub and eating my brain.
Bath salts (drug) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
'Bath Salts' A Deadly New Drug With A Deceptively Innocent Name - Forbes
I see a coming threat.
With respect to the legalization of drugs...what will neighborhoods do with the 'public nuisance' of the stoned... whose presence in parks, on the streets, etc. greatly diminish property values and the quality of life for the local residents?
What's society to do with the children of methheads, etc.?
Is society responsible for supplying these folks with their drugs? (If not, they'll still be stealing/prostituting to get high.) Are we responsible for their health care?
It seems to me that that whichever route we go with respect to these drugs, society will pay.
Perhaps a case can be made for legalizing pot. (Is it more or less addictive to the average user as compared with alcohol?)
But the reality is that users of meth, heroin, crack, pcp, etc... are a plague on society. And legalizing their drug of choice won't change anything.
Seriously though, these drugs are not even in the same class as marijuana. My understanding is that part of the reaction to these "bath salts" is extreme overheating of the body. That's why they are so often naked...the overheating eventually frys the brain causing delirium. That on top of the extreme aggressiveness the drug causes is a real bad combination to say the least.
Sounds like a great way to spend a Saturday night, doesn't it!

In case you missed Piers Morgan's show last night (like every other night), we learned how to spell the racially charged term "cracka" from Zimmerman trial witness Rachel Jeantel.
Morgan: "Let's talk about creepy ass cracker. People have said that is a phrase used by black people, cracker, to describe a white person, is that true?"
Jeantel: "No. Like I said…"
Morgan: "How do you spell it first of all?"
Jeantel: "Cracka"
Morgan: "There's no 'er' right?"
Jeantel: "No, there's an 'a' at the end"
Morgan "C-R-A-C-K-A"
Jeantel: "Yeah."
They also discussed the difference between "ni**er" and Ni**a."
In the third part of Piers Morgan's extensive, exclusive interview with Trayvon Martin's friend Rachel Jeantel about her testimony in the George Zimmerman trial, the host asked his guest if there was anything she wished she'd said on the stand. Jeantel answered with one word: "Nigga."
Jeantel explained to Morgan that "the whole world say it's a racist word" but the version of the word that she testified Martin had used in reference to Zimmerman, spelled "n-i-g-g-a" doesn't mean what most people think it means. It doesn't mean a "black male" as Morgan assumed, she said, but rather any kind of man, including "Chinese" for example. Morgan helpfully pointed out that that's the version rappers use in their music.
"But nigger," Jeantel said, stressing the "-er.," is a "racist word." She said "I'd advise you not to be by black people" when you say that word, Jeantel explained, "because they're not going to have it like that." And this is not just in her community as Morgan posited but in the entire "generation."
Journalism. For the record, "cracka" is absolutely used in a racial way to describe white people.
