Dear Abby 9 hrs ago....EmailShare0
Share0Print......DEAR ABBY: In a few months, my husband's 10-year-old twin grandchildren are coming to live with us while their mother serves her time for felony DUI. My husband and I are in our 60s and have never met them before.
We have tried to avoid contact with their mother because the encounters were generally unpleasant. She alternated between being bitter and hateful, and desperately calling for financial help because she's a single mother with four children. She alienated her own mother and it looked like the younger children would wind up with child protective services if we didn't step up and offer a temporary home with us.
The new circumstances will require the four of us to make some big adjustments, but we believe it will enrich our lives, too. My dilemma is what do we tell the kids when they inevitably ask why we have been absent in their lives? I can't bring myself to tell them the truth about the way we feel.-- CAUGHT OFF GUARD GRANDMA
DEAR CAUGHT OFF GUARD: Having lived with their mother, your husband's grandchildren probably understand very well the reason for her felony DUI. Be honest and explain to them that you weren't around because their mother didn't make you feel welcome. Then assure them that you have always loved them, that you are here for them now and will be in the future if they would like you to be.
DEAR ABBY: I'm 43 and have been hosting Thanksgiving for 19 years. My mother turned it over to me when I bought my first house because she was tired of doing it.
We always entertain the same group of 12 relatives. I have mentioned doing something different, but no one has enough room or the desire. If I didn't host it, I'm afraid they'd be hurt and have nowhere to go.
How do I break it to them that I am burned out? I would just like to go out to eat and see a movie. Please help.-- EXHAUSTED HOSTESS
DEAR EXHAUSTED: Ten days before Thanksgiving is a little late to cancel what has become an annual celebration. However, it would be the perfect time to announce that after 20 years of hosting the gathering, you are burned out. Therefore, those who have enough room should share the responsibility and alternate with you, or all of you should make your own arrangements.
DEAR ABBY: A few years ago, my husband and I decided that when our nieces and nephews turned 18 we would stop giving Christmas gifts. That decision has worked out fine -- until my husband's nieces and nephews began turning 18. Now it has become an issue with his side of the family, particularly his mother. She has made it clear through emails that we "have" to buy them gifts.
I don't know what to do. I don't want to start a war over gift-giving, but on the other hand, if we buy for his family, we have to buy for mine. We don't have a lot of disposable income. Please help us find a way to get through this.-- GRINCHED IN LAS VEGAS
DEAR GRINCHED: Emails are a wonderful form of communication, but when it comes to a discussion that involves emotion, it's time to use the old-fashioned telephone. You and your husband must call his mother and explain that buying gifts for the nieces and nephews on both sides of the family has become too much for you, which is why you have drawn the line at age 18. The "kids" are old enough to understand the gifts don't come from Santa. And so, for that matter, is your mother-in-law. Shame on her for pressuring you.

LW1: I'm not sure you're going to be able to know what to do with these kids until they are in your home. You don't know what their mother has told them about you, and you don't know if they've bought into what they've been told about you or realize their mother has issues. In fact, I'm not even sure of the direct relationship here: is their mother your husband's daughter, or is their apparently not-present father your husband's son?
LW2: Same advice I gave my mother this year: you should have said this before November because we could have worked it out before other plans were set. Do a Honey-Baked thanksgiving or something (order the entire meal from one of the places that let you do that) and then tell them that they're on their own for next year.(We worked it out: my sister and my dad are cooking Thanksgiving at my parents' house this year. I would have held it if my mom had told me she didn't want to do Thanksgiving BEFORE we'd made the plans to go to out of state.)
LW3: presents are a gift, not a requirement. Sounds like quite a few people need to learn that.

LW1:"what do we tell the kids when they inevitably ask why we have been absent in their lives?"
You have 2 options.
-The truth
-A lie
So what are you asking? Help with crafting a lie?
"Then assure them that you have always loved them"
Bullshit. Their mother was not keeping the grandparents from meeting the grandkids. The granparents stayed away by their own choice. They did not give a rat's ass about these kids, otherwise they would have made some effort to know the grandkids.
LW2: What Abby said.
LW3: "Emails are a wonderful form of communication, but when it comes to a discussion that involves emotion, it's time to use the old-fashioned telephone."
I disagree. Email (or letter writing, if you're old school) give you the opportunity to formulate your thoughts in their entirety and not have to deal with someone on the other end of the line interupting you or playing on your emotions. You get into a verbal back and forth with someone, emotions take over. Write the email, and you keep your thoughts more logical and less emoitional.

Yep. What Tonka said on all three.
L1: Seems like they're the type that don't care until the threat of an 'outsider' raising the kids comes up. Then it's family, family, family!
L3: Yes, as an introvert, I do *much* better with discussions via text/email/whatever over in-person or on the phone. I need time to process what was said to me and formulate my response so I don't 'say' something I'll regret.

To me, it seems that an additional bonus of written vs verbal communication is that when the other person is reading your words, they are more likely to actually pay attention to them as opposed to not listening to you but instead, thinking of what they are going to say the second you stop talking. They may even read the letter more than once to have it sink it what you are trying to say.

L2: "If I didn't host it, I'm afraid they'd be hurt"
Life is so much easier when you generally do not worry about the ridiculousness of adults having "Hurt" feelings over such things.
L3: Tell your MIL to go eff herself.

1 What tonka said.
2 Thats right, they will have nowhere to go, so it is your burden to carry! So shut up and start cooking, and remember they want FRESH cranberries not that canned crap!
3 Tell her that she needs to stop smothering her damn kids, their 18 from christmas sake.
Oh, and nice way for amby to destroy some kids fantasy about santa.(no not the 18yo, some little kid who reads this drivel)

L1: Abby is so, so wrong! There IS something inbetween the bold truth and a lie. How about telling the kids "There were various reasons, but I am so glad we are together now" and leave it at that. Why put the kids through more angst than necessary?
L2: No, Abby. It's not an either/or. How about telling everyone it's your last Thanksgiving cooking and someone else can host it or you can jointly plan to have the dinner out with everyone chipping in? Or get a hall and have the thing catered.
L3: You don't have to do anything. Give the gift of a donation in their name -- which in my view isn't a gift at all. That'll shut MIL up.

19 years...lightweight. I've been doing it since 1984.
In August I started telling people I wasn't doing "the holidays" this year. I have made a point each month since pointing out to them that they need to make other plans.
Hope they don't show up next week. I'm gonna be out eating Chinese and going to the movies. <shrug>

LW3, you don't have to give anything, but be aware that it might be seen as a rejection, and that the kids might suddenly think all your gifts were a burden, not a pleasure, and that you never really loved them.
Gift-giving has heavy symbolism in our culture, like it or not, and so does withholding gifts.
#13 Nov 12, 2012
I agree with your concept, but in practice it sounds like blackmail.
#14 Nov 12, 2012
1. Your mother is a POS who hasn't any use for us other than when she needs something, and now she needs us to do something she hasn't done in 10 years - take care of you two.
2. It's been a great 20 years, thanks for coming. If they get mad at you, then to heck with the unappreciative sons of guns.
3. Email might be a good first salvo if it is well-conceived, but it is a horrible, weak way to work through an issue of real significance. Why the heck can't people just talk anymore? Pick the phone up, and simply explain that you don't have the means for that wide a net of gift-giving, you don't do it with your family either, and adults really do not need gifts every year from everyone.
#15 Nov 12, 2012
1: Age-appropriate truth. It always rises and lying is never a good choice.
This lady (I doubt all 4 freaking kids have the same dad, hence why they are only taking 2 of them) is why I would thoroughly support castration.
2: What angela said.
3: Idiots. You have to? Give me a break. Tell the kids that the other side was fine about it and they will be, too.
Kids respond to the family's response around them...

Because some people are more passive. Some people need more time to gather their thoughts. Non-confrontational. While others are quicker and more agressive. Won't take no for an answer. Get those 2 in a conversation and the latter has a good chance to steamroll the other.

1 Whut? Your family is f'ed up. The truth will set you free.
2 Grow a pair! You're an adult and you need to realiz that you are in control, not others. "This is the last T'giving dinner we're hosting. We've enjoyed it, but it's time for all of us to set a new tradition." Done. If someone gets angry, eff 'em.
3 My mother quit telling me what I "had" to do the minute I moved out. Grow up and tell pople what you're going to do, and do not ask for their approval.

Adam Caplan of Scout.com reports that former Redskins head coach Jim Zorn is "the leader for the QB coach job with the Ravens." The position became vacant when Hue Jackson moved on to become Oakland's offensive coordinator.
Report: Zorn in lead to coach Ravens QBs
efangule says: Jan 30, 2010 10:36 AM
From head coach to quaterbacks coach.
filthymcnasty says: Jan 30, 2010 10:39 AM
solid move. Zorn will do well, especially after the fiasco in DC. Now the Ravens just need to keep Mason from retiring, trade for Boldin, and/or grab WR in the draft/FA.
TimTheEnchanter says: Jan 30, 2010 10:51 AM
Cam Cameron, Jim Zorn… looks like the Ravens are trying to create the Horrible Head Coaches Hall of Fame. Too bad Mornhinweg, Marinelli and Crennell are already taken. Maybe they can see if Lou Holtz and Rick Venturi want to get back into the NFL.

Nice list….may I add Dave Wannstadt ?
habibfromnewdehli says: Jan 30, 2010 11:52 AM
No matter what your qualifications are… you can't teach someone how to SEE better. That's one of Flacco's main problems. He throws to a guy with 3 defenders in very good position covering him… but he regularly misses a guy who has beat his man.
Things that Zorn might be able to help him with: Learning when to throw a direct pass vs. lobbing the ball… and when you should throw each one.
Trading for Brandon Marshall should be this team's priority though, as that will make life easier for all parties involved.
Ravenmuscle says: Jan 30, 2010 12:01 PM
Has anybody else noticed how closely Jim Zorn resembles Johnny Unitas. Crew cut..facial features…walks hunched over…its eery
filthymcnasty says: Jan 30, 2010 12:25 PM
gwinn1952 says: Jan 30, 2010 12:40 PM
He was always a better position coach than a head coach.
hailrskins says: Jan 30, 2010 1:16 PM
QB coach in Baltimore is a promotion from the head coach in DC.
Boycott Snyder! No Skins tix or merchandise purchases.
boysroll says: Jan 30, 2010 1:23 PM
wow…there goes flacco's development as campbell has not done anything under zorn. no playoff appearances and it was because of the QB position. ravens are not going anywhere with a boneheaded move like that.

Johannesburg - South African tennis ace, Kevin Anderson, has been elected to the ATP Player Council.
The new ATP Player Council, selected by ATP player members, was announced at the pre-Wimbledon player meeting.
"I am honoured to have been chosen by my fellow professionals to serve on the Player Council," Anderson said.
"I see the election as an important responsibility and I will give my best to serve the players interest and assist our game in areas which need to be addressed and to promote the game to new levels."
The council includes returning players Roger Federer, Jarkko Nieminen, Eric Butorac and Andre Sa (served 2002-2004), as well as a number of new faces, including Anderson, elected for a two-year term to represent the ATP player membership.
They will have their first meeting in New York prior to the US Open, where the president and vice-president will be elected.
The council meets several times a year and makes recommendations to ATP management and the board of directors through the three player board representatives, whom the council elect.
"The ATP Player Council plays an incredibly important role in the governance of the ATP, with a seat at the table all year round, helping to make decisions that affect the operation of the ATP World Tour," said ATP executive chairperson and president Brad Drewett.
"The players who serve give a significant amount of their personal time, more than people may realise.
"The men's game is driving the unprecedented popularity and commercial success of the sport today, and I believe the opportunities ahead of us are very exciting."

Stacked rubber gasket?
Not like I never did that before.
Your apartment deductable should be the only thing at loss here, landlords love to take the deductable. The tow sucks and the guys obviously a little trigger happy (too many late night parties? ).
From now on park with the exhaust facing his apartment and be sure to let it warm up at 7:00AM on high idle for awhile while "Lets Lynch the landlord" by the Dead Kennedys or Presidents of the United States blasts from your car stereo...windows open to defog the glass.
Leave it on repeat.
Just kidding of course, wouldn't want to get the boot.
She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special modifications myself.
Han Solo
how did you loose 5qts of oil?
I understand you may have installed the wrong filter...right? Do you mean 5qts leaked out when you fired up the engine after the oil change?
Rat Rods Rule!
I'm a bit boggled too. THere wasn't that much on the ground! Maybe it came out during the tow? Seems impossible...
Perhaps when I moved it out of the tow lot it spat some out too... good thing I run an 8 qt system...
i know most leases will specify something to the effect of "No automobile repair allowed" My lawyer informed me that included changing the oil.....
i hate a sorry * landlord.
so I saw some dufus and his fat girlfriend poking around the cleanup today. Got sheepish when he saw me and quicly put the broom down and went inside (in the entrance that was further to walk to, but not next to me).
Guess we know who called on my car!
Now I just have to figure a way to cost him about 110 dollars...
what was it?
What did you find out on your engine puking oil?
The landlord is either an ***, or you are living in a ridiculously uptight apartment complex, or both. Generally the more rent you pay the less freedoms you have, but that's the price you pay when you want a spotless parking lot.
You should at least do the right thing and clean your mess up (Tide, a shop broom and water work well).
And do what Chuck suggested.
Warm up procedure for your car should include holding at approximately 3000 RPM while snapping the throttle repeatedly. After she's half way warmed up (the longer the warm up time the better), hold it just off idle where the resonance is the loudest and make sure to hold it at that RPM while slowly creeping out of the parking lot. That should make it difficult for him or anybody to hear the morning news (or think).
Wow killer, thats bad luck, Your landlord must be a jerk. It gets cold in Michigan, your car will take at least ten minutes to warm up every morning, better get a pair of exhaust cutouts.
The guy who ratted you out, find out what he drives and take his drain plug out one night, let his oil run out in the parking lot, put the plug back in and complain to the landlord about all the oil in the parking lot.
oil is to obvious.. maybe a coolent or tranny leak.. lol
Hey 4 Jaw I know a little bit about stacking gaskets. Did it at work one day, put about 2 quarts of oil on the shop floor. The boss was pissed to say the least. Just one of those things. Killer, Iv'e heard a lot of stories about clamps on coolant hoses "mysterioulsy" coming loose. Could happen to anybody.
Some of these rental places...
are tight ***ed when it comes to anything besides parking in the lot or mowing your own grass. Guy told me the flag he hung out got a letter from the manager to the effect it had to go..a call to the news paper got a reporter out to ask management what's up with that and now its OK to fly a flag??? Just who did they want to protect...or NOT offend buy flying the American flag was my question? There are some really stupid people with authority out there who abuse it.
Rat Rods Rule!
well in any other situation that this happened I'd just nut up and say, fine, I screwed up, I caused a problem and I'll take the rap. And up to this point that's what I have done. I had to pay for my towing, but I really don't feel like I should have to pay to fix the lot... I went out there and looked and honest to god there's a little stain but really nothing wrong with it. I was working on my car a few weeks ago and one of the crew said he was going to topcoat the thing and kick all of our cars out in a few weeks anyway, so if he pull this "now I have to topcoat the lot and you have to help because you screwed it up!" I know its just an excuse to do what he already wanted to do and have somebody else's wallet involved.
Here's what else kinda is POing me about this crap. I was working on it about a little over a week ago and the landlord drove into the lot. I said hi and he walked over and said "WOW I didn't know you had all THAT under the hood, that's cool! DId you do that all yourself? Man I didn't realize!" So he knows I'm out there working on the thing, he knows the car is mine, he has my apartment number, my email, my cellphone number but he doesn't contact me at all. He just yanks my car and leaves a note in my apartment on a dirty shop towel. I could have done the cleanup myself if it was that much of an issue.
We'll see I guess...
And be prepared to move also (probably not a bad idea to move out of that tight ***ed place anyhow).

2013-14 Vol Basketball Record Book | Tickets
- Tennessee is tied with Arkansas for fourth place in the SEC with two games left to play.
- According to ESPN's InsideRPI, Tennessee owns an RPI of No. 48 and has the 13th toughest strength-of-schedule (as of March 3).
- No player on the Tennessee roster has ever lost to Auburn.
- The Vols own a perfect 2-0 record at Auburn Arena, which opened for the 2010-11 season.
- Four of Auburn's five SEC wins have come at Auburn Arena, and the Tigers' lineup boasts two of the top-seven scorers in league play in guards Chris Denson (20.4 ppg, second) and KT Harrell (17.9 ppg, seventh).
- Thursday, March 6, is Tennessee senior Jeronne Maymon's 23rd birthday.
- Jarnell Stokes ranks fourth nationally in offensive rebounding, with 4.24 orpg.
- Jarnell Stokes is just 13 points shy of joining UT's 45-member 1,000-Point Club.
- When UT hosts Missouri Saturday, the careers of Antonio Barton, D'Montre Edwards, Jeronne Maymon and Jordan McRae will be celebrated during a pregame Senior Day ceremony.
- Tennessee knocked off Auburn, 78-67, in a game the Vols never trailed as all five starters scored in double-figures Jan. 15 in Knoxville.
- Jordan McRae (21) and Josh Richardson (15) led the UT scoring parade.
- Vols junior Jarnell Stokes tallied 14 points and 14 rebounds.
- The Vols shot an impressive 51.0 from the floor and out-rebounded Auburn 42-28.

- Tennessee led 33-28 at halftime.
- Auburn continued to hang around early in the second half, closing the gap to as few as two points. But, the Vols used a 9-2 burst to pull ahead by 11 at 50-39 on a nifty under-handed layup by freshman Darius Thompson with 13:36 left in the game.
- Chris Denson led the Tigers with 24 points, while KT Harrell finished with 15.
- It was UT's sixth consecutive win over Auburn.
- Wednesday's game matches the highest and fourth-highest-scoring coaching staffs in America.
- Tennessee's four full-time coaches scored 5,381 Division I points during their playing days. No other staff in the country scored more than that.
- Auburn's coaches rank fourth among all Division I staffs with 4,373 college points to their credit.
- The two staffs combine to boast five 1,000-point scorers (UT assistant Kent Williams scored more than 2,000 points in college).

About Big Island Hawaii
Hawaii's name sake island, also the largest of the chain, has some of the most unique sights for visitors. The island is made up of five separate volcanoes, of which three are active and one has been continually erupting since the late 1980s. The red hot lava that pours from the Kilauea volcano is a fascinating natural occurrence and a rarity to witness. As a result of the lava that is constantly being added to the area, the beaches on the Big Island are a Hawaiian dream! Visit the pure white ribbons of coastal Kailua-Kona, the emerald sands of the Puna region, or the black beaches of Punalu'u, each a drop of paradise.
The Big Island is more than just sandy perfection. For nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers, Hawaii offers an unparalleled mixture of elements. There is endless opportunity to explore, from the deep thickets of the rainforest to the blustery summit of the volcano peaks. The Big Island also houses the second largest waterfall in the world: Akaka Falls, a graceful giant that is simply spectacular.
Here are a few additional suggestions for your trip:
- Go scuba diving: The reef ecosystems around the big island are fantastic places to encounter colorful fish, sea turtles, and a bewildering variety of marine life.
- Take a surfing lesson: The glassy waves of Hawaii make this one of the most beautiful surfing destinations in the world. There are plenty of surf schools here with patient, knowledgeable instructors who can help you get started.
- Visit Volcanoes National Park: Hike with an experienced guide and explore lava tube trails through a tropical jungle paradise of gigantic ferns and tropical flowers.
- Stroll historic Kailua Village: Go shopping, experience the nightlife and see some of the Big Island's important historic sites in this charming seaside village.
- Take a whale watching tour: The Big Island is a great place to charter a boat trip and have close encounters with grey whales or humpbacks depending on the season.
-Play a round of golf: Big Island Hawaii golf courses are truly champion caliber. Professional golfers come from around the world to tee off on these emerald green fairways.
For unforgettable family reunions, honeymoons, and weddings, Big Island Hawaii makes an ideal tropical destination. Make the most of your vacation in paradise by staying in your own private vacation rental. Find a trendy condo in the heart of downtown Hilo, close to the shopping and nightlife, or stay in a luxury rental home with beautiful views of the ocean. While you're planning your getaway to Big Island Hawaii, consider scheduling some time on the other beautiful islands in the chain like Oahu and Maui.


text: Double victory for the SEAT Toledo GT in Estoril Share Comments The SEAT Toledo GT was the star at the third Spanish GT Championship meet. SEAT took the pole position and two victories, and Miguel Ángel de Castro and Balba González confirmed their winning form at the championship. The Darro Motor Racing team, with technical support by SEAT Sport, lined up two Toledo GT units for the Portuguese event, driven by Miguel Ángel de Castro / Balba González and Jordi Gené / Ginés Vivancos. From the pole position in the opening race, Gené and Vivancos set a fast pace and won the race without a hitch. The opening race resulted in a one-two victory for the Toledo GT; de Castro and González in the second unit did not take as many chances. Things were quite different for both cars in the second race. Gené and Vivancos were eliminated when another car hit Vivancos as he was overtaking, sending him off the track. Their withdrawal was inevitable, while de Castro and Balba González dominated the rest of the race with no problems. They set a fast pace at the beginning in order to make up for lost time in the boxes, ending in a brilliant victory and strengthening their lead in the general classification. Balba González: "The car ran very well in both races, and we reached our objective despite the statutory box stop. We did the change-overs without any problem and paid special attention to the car and the tyres in the final laps of both races, making us feel even more championship leaders after Estoril. That was our objective, so we are all very happy". Jordi Gené: "It was a satisfying weekend for me for several reasons. For my debut with the Toledo GT, for getting the pole position and also for the win. The first race was perfect, for the race itself and for the car's performance. It was too bad that Ginés Vivancos had to withdraw from the second race after an unfortunate overtaking. The final outcome at Estoril was really good and I'm convinced the car has great potential". Classification 1st Race 1 Vivancos – Gené (SEAT Toledo GT) 43.44.700 2 De Castro – Camino (SEAT Toledo GT) 43.22.780 3 Villarroel – Fernández (Porsche) 43.22.922 4 Goiburu – Costa (Ferrari) 43.57.677 5 Cerqueda – Pérez Sala (Ferrari) 44.12.404 Classification 2nd Race 1 De Castro – Camino (SEAT Toledo GT) 44.25.400 2 Mello – Mello (Porsche) 44.31.446 3 Villarroel – Fernández (Porsche) 44.32.284 4 Villalba – Gutierrez (Porsche) 44.43.741 5 Do Amaral – Couceiro (Porsche) 45.03.737 Overall standings 1 Miguel Ángel de Castro – Balba Camino, 160 points. 2 Jesús Villarroel – Victor Fernández, 126. 3 Manuel Mello – Pedro Mello, 107 4 Ginés Viváncos, 101. 5 Manuel Cerqueda – Luis Pérez Sala, 91. Supercopa – first victory by Luis Carlos Maurel Maurel was the winner of an exciting race, the second of the meet held in Estoril, by a narrow margin of only eight tenths of a second over second place Luis Miguel Reyes. Forné, Maurel and Reyes were in the first three positions from the outset, but Maurel immediately took control. Maurel, Forné and Reyes kept up the struggle until the Supercopa leader took second position in the sixth lap. From then on he went for first place while Forné fought off the attacks from Guerrero. The most exceptional withdrawal came from Mostajo when he lost the tread off one of his tyres. Today's results confirm Reyes' leadership but Maurel is second in the general classification in front of Villanueva and Alonso. Luis Carlos Maurel: "After the difficult race yesterday, today's victory is a great satisfaction for me. The car ran perfectly since the beginning of the race, and that let me maintain a fast pace and win. I was under constant pressure from Reyes and couldn't afford to make a single mistake". The next SEAT León Supercopa meet is scheduled for 13 and 14 September at the Valencia circuit. Classification 2nd Race 1 Luis Carlos Maurel, 26.55.193 2 Luis Miguel Reyes + 0.809 3 Antonio Forné + 8.747 4 Lucas Guerrero + 9.254 5 Rafael Villanueva + 15.822 Overall standings 1 Luis Miguel Reyes, 112 points. 2 Luis Carlos Maurel, 58 3 Rafael Villanueva, 54 4 Flavio Alonso, 53 5 Lucas Guerrero, 50 For more discussion on this story, click on the link to our discussion forums at the left.

It seems to me that Tom Brady here seems to have forgotten to warn her bitchy wife to not whine in front of the camera man and to not make any issues with regards to the Super Bowl XLVI in which Tom and his Patriots team lost, 21 – 17 final score. What happened here was that Gisele Bundchen who is told to have secretly married Tom have had been all over the net whining on what seems to be a bad defeat in the finals! Gisele here did not keep her mouth shut and that she have had made such rude comments on some of Tom's team mate in which the Giant's team think was rude.
To tell you honestly, this was something that made all of them think that Tom have chosen such a cry girl to be his wife. What Gisele did here is that after the game, she went for a blast in front of the camera telling people and the press that Her husband could and can't play the game by both throwing and catching the ball which she obviously intended to throw to her wife's team mates, Wes Welker, Aaron Hernandez and Deion Branch. After those rude comments on Tom's team mate, it seems like Gisele here have had set aflame on the Giant's emotion and thus they are now in verge to shut her all up.
This is all but Giseles fault! Giant's member Osi Umenyiora commented that she should not give rude comments and that she should've stayed out of this! But then, Osi here said afterwards that she can say whatever she wants for she is Tom's wife. But either way, I bet that this girl is in a lot of troubles for demoralizing and at the same time trying to run the rule of brotherhood that Tom and his team have.

Greek protesters camp for weeks, shake politicians
By Renee Maltezou
ATHENS (Reuters) - At the heart of Greece's angry protests against painful economic reforms are a diverse group of demonstrators camped in front of parliament, united in hatred for politicians they blame for pushing the country to ruin.
Although their anger, like that of many other Greeks, is visceral, the permanent protest is mostly peaceful, only erupting into violence last Wednesday when the Finance Ministry was firebombed during clashes with riot police.
Behind the protests is a belief that foreign powers are forcing Greeks to swallow medicine so bitter it could kill the patient and that fat cat politicians and millionaires have dodged pain and stuffed their wallets while Greece heads for catastrophe.
"Why should I pay? I haven't done anything wrong. I can't afford a yacht or a pool like they can," said Panagiotis Karydas, 50, a car mechanic who has voted for both the main political parties in the past.
"If I owe ten euros to the tax office they come after me. Why don't they go after politicians?" he asked in the Syntagma Square protest camp.
Greece could be the first sovereign default in the euro zone unless Prime Minister George Papandreou rams through more unpopular austerity in exchange for international aid.
The square in front of the shuttered parliament building is scene of a permanent protest, bedecked with banners and filled with small tents where demonstrators sleep.
They include students, some of Greece's army of jobless, pensioners whose savings have evaporated, workers, professors, and economists from all sides of the political spectrum. Continued...

What games are you playing now?
View Single Post
April 2nd, 2009, 09:26
Playing a bunch right now.
Been messing around with the Dues Ex Nameless Mod, Gothic 3, Drakensang and now The Sims 2 Apartment Life(don't laugh, that stupid bs that is going on over there at their forums made me want to reload it up again)
I think I might have ADHD
I am trying to keep it down to 4 games at a time. This way I get bored with one and then I'll play one of the others for a while.
Love Gothic 3, Drakensange and The Sims 2. Not sure about the Dues Ex mod yet. It is a little different, but strangely addicting too.
Despite all my rage.
I'm still just a rat in a cage.

Black Sabbath Guitarist Tony Iommi Becomes College Music Professor
Tony Iommi has officially been hired as a Visiting Professor of Music by Coventry University to help students on their songwriting and compositional skills.
Tony Iommi has officially been hired as a Visiting Professor of Music by Coventry University to help students on their songwriting and compositional skills.
Black Sabbath have been on a huge roll the last couple of years. Their comeback album '13' is a Grammy-winning smash hit and they've been playing sold-out shows all across the world. But could the legendary metal band's touring career be coming to a close?
For over two years, Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi has battled cancer. Through songwriting, massive touring and all the work that comes with releasing a new album, Iommi has risen to the occasion, giving all he has to millions of Sabbath fans worldwide. Despite Iommi's incredible efforts, Black Sabbath vocalist Ozzy Osbourne admitted that he initially thought Iommi was handed a death sentence by doctors.
If you thought the Osbournes had a nice house, you should see where Tony Iommi lives. According to the Birmingham Post, the Black Sabbath guitarist has put his Lapworth, Warwickshire, home on the market and the residence is reportedly going for a cool £2.6 million, which is about $4.3 million in U.S. currency.
Most people in their mid-60s are thinking about retirement, but Black Sabbath are riding a wave of popularity and nonstop activity thanks to the success of last year's album '13.' The disc was so well received that fans want to know if and when the band will record another album.
The metal world's collective heart sank when it was announced in the beginning of 2012 that the godfather of metal himself, Tony Iommi, was battling lymphoma. However, the Black Sabbath guitarist has managed to persevere despite the diagnosis, and has started the new year with his latest health update.
Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi is already the 'Rock 'N' Roll Doctor,' but the iconic guitarist is now an actual doctor thanks to Coventry University. On Nov. 19, Iommi received an Honorary Doctorate of Arts "in recognition of his contribution to the world of popular music."
"Riff Lord" and "Godfather of Metal" are two nicknames that have been ascribed to guitar legend Tony Iommi, but now he has a more professional one: Doctor. That's right, the Black Sabbath founder and mainstay will have the prestigious honorary doctorate bestowed upon him by Coventry University in England.
Although original Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward may be estranged from the pioneering heavy metal band, Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi definitely still cares about his former bandmate. Yesterday, we reported that Ward had successfully undergone surgery for diverticulitis. In response to the news, Iommi wished Ward the best via the guitarist's official website.
Black Sabbath just finished up their massively anticipated North American tour on Sept. 3 with a performance at the Los Angeles Sports Arena in California. The string of dates kept Sabbath on the road for about a month-and-a-half, which guitarist Tony Iommi recently described as longer than he would have liked, but still amazing. In fact, Iommi shared that he has already been back to the hospital for another chemotherapy infusion.


text: These rotors are OEM size (345mm) rotors for an R32 or Golf R. I had them on my JSW for like 1k miles only. The look amazing and work amazing but they do make noise - this is the reason for the sale. The dimples make sort of a clicking sound when on the brakes, some may think it is cool but on a JSW TDI it is kind of if you know what I mean I have put stock rotors back on. I will NOT SHIP THESE things as they weigh a friggin ton! I am in Los Angeles and am happy to meet up or whatever. They are zinc coated so the bits that don't touch the pad are all black zinc and will not rust. $175 for the pair. Some pics:

Burrell girls basketball team blows out Shenango
Burrell didn't have school Tuesday because of winter weather, so the girls basketball team decided to go out for breakfast.
The Bucs had Shenango for lunch.
Burrell brushed off a slow start before shifting to cruise control in a 68-25 victory over Shenango in a WPIAL Class AA first-round game at Plum.
No. 2 seed Burrell (23-0) advanced to play No. 7 McGuffey (20-3) on Friday at a time and site to be determined in a quarterfinal rematch.
Burrell beat McGuffey, 61-41, in last year's second round.
The Bucs had one of their two scrimmages canceled by bad weather, so the team had seen somewhat limited action during a nine-day layoff.
But before long, the No. 2 seed had Shenango (13-10) plowed into a parking spot with nowhere to go.
"I think we need to learn to come out stronger, especially if we want to go far (in the playoffs)," said Burrell senior center Jess Cercone, who scored a game-high 16 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, joining teammate Natalie Myers (14 points, 10 rebounds) with a double-double. "We watched some film (on Shenango) and knew me and Nat would have a size advantage."
This one had all the classic ingredients of a typical Burrell win: pressure defense, transition baskets, crisp passing and strong offensive rebounding.
And zero-to-100 speed that had the scoreboard looking like an odometer.
Sydney Bordonaro added 14 points and Jaila Manga chipped in 10 for Burrell, which completed the first step in what is expected to be another lengthy playoff run.
"We have a goal in mind of what we want to accomplish," Cercone said. "But we have to take it one game at a time."
After scoring a quick hoop early, Shenango had to work for everything.
"I think there was a little nerves today," Burrell coach Meghan Ziemianski said. "We hadn't played so long so there was that anticipation leading up to it."
Burrell led 17-2 after the first quarter and 36-14 at the half. But a 20-4 third-quarter charge that saw Shenango go without a field goal for nearly nine minutes.
When Burrell's lead got into the 40s, Ziemianski cleared the bench. Burrell had eight players score in the win.

WK2 OEM HID conversion..
So from what I have been reading on this site, the conversion process to the OEM HIDs from halogen, is rather, trying...
I am going to approach this process very slowly, and i am going to slowly order things so i dont mess anything up (i want to take the bumper off only once!)
I am over the halogen headlights and i dont want to stick HIDs in there and have the light scatter everywhere -which defeats the purpose of the projectors.
I have noted the conversion that was done to Scott's (sick ass) Durango, and i am thinking that the front end is about the same as a grand cherokee -as far as electrical lighting components go.
Any help approaching this will be much appreciated, and as i successfully complete steps to finish the conversion i will post write ups and take as many pictures as i can to help others that may want to approach this.
i already have the LH side light and i am going to bid on an RH side light soon.
Re: WK2 OEM HID conversion..
First Light (LH) came today, and i ordered the canbus fix harnesses as well, im just waiting on the RH light to come and i still have to order the additional wiring as well. so slowly but surely this is going to happen. I have read and reread Scott's write-up for his durango and i am going to be referring to that for the process as the jeep lights are similar. And because the wk2 cherokee is a little different i will be posting pictures and comments as well. Ill keep you updated!
Re: WK2 OEM HID conversion..
sounds good! Let me know if I can help. Peter@justforjeeps can get you the repair harness for the drivers side
Re: WK2 OEM HID conversion..
Really interested in this.

6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon water (omit if using honey)
Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9" cake pan with extra virgin olive oil cooking spray, or just grease it with a thin layer of butter. Dust cocoa all over the inside of the pan, tapping to evenly distribute. Cut a round of parchment paper and line the bottom of the pan, then spray the parchment lightly.
Drain and rinse beans in a strainer or colander. Shake off excess water. Place beans, 3 of the eggs, vanilla, stevia (if using) and salt into blender. Blend on high until beans are completely liquefied. No lumps! Whisk together cocoa powder, baking soda, and baking powder. Beat butter with sweetener (erythritol or honey) until light and fluffy. Add remaining two eggs, beating for a minute after each addition. Pour bean batter into egg mixture and mix. Finally, stir in cocoa powder and water (if using), and beat the batter on high for one minute, until smooth. Scrape batter into pan and smooth the top. Grip pan firmly by the edges and rap it on the counter a few times to pop any air bubbles.
Bake for 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes. Cake is done with the top is rounded and firm to the touch. After 10 minutes, turn out cake from pan, and flip over again on to a cooling rack. Let cool until cake reaches room temperature, then cover in plastic wrap or with cake dome (I use an overturned plastic chip bowl). For BEST flavor, let cake sit over night. I promise this cake will not have a hint of beaniness after letting it sit for eight hours! If you are stacking this cake, level the top with a long serrated knife, shaving off layers until it is flat and even. Frost immediately before serving
I just used honey. It makes it so very moist. Mine differs very slightly, so it calls for 3-4 cup of honey.
The texture is amazing. Think about the best chocolate pudding cake mix that you have ever eaten.
Are you saying 3/4 cups of honey? I think I'd prefer to do all honey next time instead of using stevia (I don't LOVE stevia in baked goods). I bet it gives it an extra moistness as well.
And sorry Peggy--I've never used stevia leaves so I'm not sure a/b that...
Mine differs very slightly, so it calls for 3-4 cup of honey.
|It was supposed to be made with canned/cooked black beans, NOT DRIED!!!! WHAT WAS I THINKING!!!!!!! I guess i wasn't, at least not until our house became a gas bomb in danger of blowing up (after effects of eating unsoaked beans) and i had puke to clean up.
Yes, unsoaked beans can make one very sick.
Before they are eaten, the raw bean seeds should be soaked in water for several hours and then boiled for at least ten minutes in new fresh water to degrade a toxic compound - the lectin phytohaemagglutinin - found in the bean which would otherwise cause severe gastric upset.
This compound is present in many varieties (and in some other species of bean), but is especially concentrated in red kidney beans and white kidney beans (Cannellini beans). Although in the case of dry beans the ten minutes required to degrade the toxin is much shorter than the hours required to fully cook the beans themselves, outbreaks of poisoning have been associated with the use of slow cookers whose low cooking temperatures may be unable to degrade the toxin. Sprouts of pulses high in haemaglutins should not be eaten. Kidney beans, especially, should not be soaked or sprouted.[1][2]
(ie. no raw kidney beans. Just like 4-8 could kill a person, iirc.) Canned beans are pre-soaked and pre-cooked, generally, in America, per my understanding.
This cake sounds fascinating! I'm planning to make the recipe. Thanks.
whoa! kidney beans should not be soaked or sprouted? is that only from raw? what about dried kidney beans that have been sprouted, then cooked?
I made sprouted chili a few weeks ago with kidney and pintos. i cooked the sprouted beans per NT (maybe that's why she says to cook sprouted beans?)
no one in my house got sick...

So when making this cake I'll soak the dried beans, then boil, then go about the recipe?
I think I've cooked all beans I've sprouted, but maybe not in things like bean salad....hmm...good to know!

Grant, a well known analyst of the NBA, was part of a bid previous year to attempt and purchase Los Angeles Clippers from Donald Sterling, disgraced former owner. Junior Bridgeman, who played for Bucks in the 70s and 80s, has turned into one of the most successful former (financially) players ever, owning around two hundred Wendy's restaurants across the country.
As per Fortune Magazine, Junior is the 2nd top private owner of Wendy's restaurants in the country. Also, he owns hundred and twenty-five Chili's restaurants, forty-five Fannie May Chocolate shops as well as several other businesses, employing over 9000 people. And, estimates of his net worth ranges from US$ 250 million to US$ 400 million.
Junior had showed all his interest in buying the Bucks before these things were sold for around US$ 550 million to a group in New York featuring Wes Edens, Jamie Dimon and Marc Lasry. The Bridgeman-Hill team has kept on Galatioto Sports Partners, which is one of the major sports industry advisor in United States and had served facilitate the sale of several franchises in all 4 top North American sports for over a decade.
Galatioto's vice chair and former NBA deputy commissioner Russ Granik told that Junior had an interest since it was announced the team was going to be sold. More recently he had conversations with Grant and the two of them decided they wanted to go at this together.]]>
According to several reports published in Forbes, Deloitte and other top business publications, the players in the NBA are among the highest paid sportsmen in terms of annual average salaries in the world.
The first incarnation of NBA Basketball was founded in 1946 in New York City as the Basketball Association of America. The current incarnation of the league was formed when it changed its name to the National Basketball Association after merging with the National Basketball League in 1949.
The first game, according to the NBA, that was played in the country was between the Toronto Huskies and the New York Knickerbockers at the fabled Maple Leaf Gardens on 1st November, 1946. Since then it has grown into one of the biggest-follwoed leagues in the world, with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, James Rodriguez and even Tom Cruise attending matches.
The Boston Celtics have won the most number of NBA Basketball titles with 17, having played in 21 finals. However, the Los Angeles Lakers, which has won 16 titles, has played in a massive 31 championship finals, winning 16 and losing 15.
The NBA has also had some of the biggest sporting icons in the history of the world including Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Kareem Abdul-Jabber who have made the game into a household phenomenon throughout the world and especially in the United States of America and Canada and some parts of South America.]]>

They look like a biker gang with all that black and leather. Definitely wouldn't want to run into these three in a dark alley.
This evening:
Robbie Keane has things to say about how useless he's been to Liverpool so far (you know, aside from Sunday). Oh, yes, and he's not leaving …or so he says.
Scolari has things to say about John Terry's sending off on Monday night. Including this morsel: 'He's a very good captain, he accepts the decision from the referee.' Don't you just love how accepting the ref's decision — i.e. not making a big scene of yourself — is no longer expected but something that a player needs to be congratulated for?
So, Cesc's out. Now what? Wenger:'It is more likely we will buy but we also have internal solutions and we are not desperate. We will miss Cesc, of course, but how much is difficult to say.' How about this time Arsenal try to buy someone who isn't a) a pre-teen OR b) calcium deficient. So very tired of injuries.
El-Hadji Diouf's wife Val just gave birth to a baby girl, Keyla. He should be back for Sunderland's Boxing Day match against Blackburn.
Anyone else find Everton's blue Santa Claus slightly wrong?
Last but not least: Not sure about ya'll but in the mood for a little Bendtner thigh.

Latex leggings are stupid.
Vogue or some other hoity-toity publication would probably have it that latex leggings are the best thing to hit the shops since one of Michelle Obama's J. Crew cardigans but that's as big of a load of BS as there ever has been.
It's actually like this: Whoever invented latex leggings is either the biggest dumb-ass ever or the smartest crook ever because she/he's managed to convince women to put on these shiny, clingy, not-meant-to-be-worn-as-pants-but-still-are pieces of crap that many of us now think look pretty cool but, 5 to 10 years down the line, will all agree look completely moronic and tacky.
With that said, nice hair, Alex.
[EDIT: Cheryl too has been inflicted.]
Bits and pieces du jour:
A few days old but will get you every time: The president of Napoli thinks English ladies don't wash their coochies. How do things like this even come up in any sort of professional convo? Does anyone remember Capello's psycho ankle-sock hateration last December? Italian coaches are just freaking loopy. Where the hell does this crap even come from?
Another Italian bringing the crazy-talk: 'I must admit I have a dressing room curiosity over Beckham. […] I want to see if he is equipped as he is in the Armani underwear adverts.' Yeah, so do we. But we don't go around telling everyone about it. Instead, we blog about it in relative anonymity like
crazy normal people. Sure, that doesn't make us any more sane than you are, and, yeah, it definitely leaves us in no place to judge but life isn't always fair, Marco. That's probably why you drive a Lambo and we take the bus.
Sidney Govou was caught driving drunk after a match. Blind drunk. Five times over the legal limit drunk.
Real Madrid is a 'mob'. And the Ronaldo-Real story will not die. Ever. It won't die no matter what you say or do. You can't hide, it will find you. It will be e-mailed to you. It will be told to you. A different version of it will drop into your newsreader every other day. Friends of yours who know nothing about soccer will say to you: 'Yeah, he plays in Spain, right?' THIS STORY IS NEVER GOING AWAY. The sooner we all accept the fact, the sooner we will start not wanting to chuck our laptops out the window every time you hear about it… over and over again.
Hair Watch: Off The Post with a match-the-footballer-to-the-hair sort of quizzie complete with Lalas, Rio and even a bit of Torres. In other hair news, Elano is the new De Rosario and it ain't pretty at all.
Pretty sure this story is not supposed to be as funny as it is: some Argentine defender killed a pigeon when the ball he kicked struck it. 'I kicked the ball and, poor pigeon. […] Now I will be remembered as the pigeon killer.' Damn, straight, you will be. PETA is about the hop on this case.
Last but not least: Was that actual hair on Xtina's pretty chest the other night?! Sacrilege! Our world is over.…

Eating Right in America is a powerful critique of dietary reform in the United States from the late nineteenth-century emergence of nutritional science through the contemporary alternative food movement and campaign against obesity. Charlotte Biltekoff analyzes the discourses of dietary reform, including the writings of reformers, as well as the materials they created to bring their messages to the public. She shows that while the primary aim may be to improve health, the process of teaching people to "eat right" in the U.S. inevitably involves shaping certain kinds of subjects and citizens, and shoring up the identity and social boundaries of the ever-threatened American middle class. Without discounting the pleasures of food or the value of wellness, Biltekoff advocates a critical reappraisal of our obsession with diet as a proxy for health. Based on her understanding of the history of dietary reform, she argues that talk about "eating right" in America too often obscures structural and environmental stresses and constraints, while naturalizing the dubious redefinition of health as an individual responsibility and imperative.
The book is published by Duke University Press
©2013 Duke University Press (P)2014 Redwood Audiobooks
"Biltekoff…raises important questions about the national dialogue on eating right…. Biltekoff effectively forges connections between this extreme and the current craze for organic food and the obesity epidemic. The author shows, carefully and explicitly, that even the most virtuous approaches to healthful eating are based, sometimes unconsciously, in shaming and class and racial biases." (Publishers Weekly)
"Eating Right in America is a must-read for anyone interested in modern dietary reform. I say that as a scholar who has studied the subject for more than twenty-five years. This concise, well-researched, and provocative book is an instructor's dream, and it is certainly a book that every student and practitioner of nutrition, dietetics, and food science should read and ponder." (Warren Belasco, author of Meals to Come: A History of the Future of Food)

I recently got a Thunder 380 and really like it. I didn't get the CC version because I thought that I would want the magazine extension (the pinky grip), liked the slightly higher sights, and... frankly the other differences didn't really matter to me.
Now that I've had it for a little while, I'm thinking that maybe I should try it without the mag extension.... to see if I can adjust to shooting it that way. It would certainly make a difference in terms of carry / concealment. If I can adjust and shoot just as well, then maybe I should consider a CC model.
Has anybody every tried this? Or had to adjust to the CC model? Was it hard to get used to?
The latest Bersa Thunder has gotten good reviews. It looks to be about the size of my old Walther PPKS. If that is the actual case then it would carry on the ankle well, and inside the waist band or in a belt slide or pancake holster and conceal well. I know that the PPKS and the PPK are both just a little to big and a little too heavy for pocket carry. They weighed about 22 or 23 ounces. I will have to check the Bersa's dimensions and weight.
Well, I had a CC model, but never carried it in a pocket. It was just a little big and heavy, unless you have some "commando" pockets or something. JMHO.

- $45 for four Saturday-night couples open social dance classes (a $96 value)
Doors open at 8 p.m. for semimonthly classes where instructors kick off the evening by teaching dances such as the foxtrot, salsa, and two-step. Attendees hone dance styles such as ballroom, Latin, and swing in two ballrooms. Lesson subjects change every week. See the current class calendar here.
After four years of tending to the bees on his family's farm, Gerald Côté decided to turn his lifelong passion for dance into a career. He began trotting across the globe—from Nashville, Tennessee, to Stockholm, Sweden—to participate in dance competitions, and he attained his first UCWDC world title in 2006. That same year, Gerald combined his impressive dance resumé with his business administration degree and opened a freelance dance-instruction company called DancEnergy. After a successful first few years of offering on-site lessons and winning impromptu dance-offs, Gerald renovated a massive 8,200-square-foot warehouse into the company's official studio.
Since converting the warehouse in 2009, Gerald has assembled a talented team of dance instructors who specialize in salsa, ballroom, Latin, swing, and country. Students of all skill levels may sign up for 6- or 12-week group classes or just come by on a whim for Friday-night drop-in classes and practice parties.
DancEnergy's studio houses three separate ballrooms to accommodate multiple classes at once, as well as changing rooms where pupils can garb themselves with required non-rubber shoes and optional sequined gloves.

Midwifery Program
Eugene B. Feigelson Award
Karen Burgin received a diploma in nursing from St. Francis Hospital in Pittsburgh, a Bachelor's degree from Barnard college and an MA in Nursing Education from Columbia Teachers College. she practiced nursing and taught in a nursing school until she entered SUNY Downstate's Midwifery program, earning a certificate in midwifery in 1981. She practiced full-scope midwifery at Gouverneur-Bellevue from 1981-1984, then worked for a private doctor-midwife practice from 1984-1986.
From 1986-1988 she was on the academic faculty on SUNY Downstate; she then returned to clinical midwifery at SUNY for the next 12 years, at the same time serving as a partner in a private practice, Nurse-Midwifery Associates. After 14 years with this practice, she now works with Park Slope Midwives.
Mary Ann Shah, CNM, MS, FACNM, LCCE, receives the Eugene B. Feigelson Award for "dedicated leadership in advancing midwifery"
Mary Ann Shah was on the SUNY Downstate midwifery faculty from 1995 through 1999. She served as an Editorial Board Member of Downstate's Brooklyn Women's Health Newsletter from 1998 through 1999. She is currently a member of the Advisory Council for SUNY Downstate Medical Center. Ms. Shah was elected President of the American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM) for a 3-year term (6/01-5/04). The ACNM honored her in 1992 as a Distinguished Fellow and in 1997 as the recipient of the Hattie Hemschemeyer Award, the highest honor conferred by the organization. After a distinguished 25 year tenure as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Nurse-Midwifery (JNM) / Journal of Midwifery & Women's Health (JMWH), the ACNM conferred upon her the honorary title of Editor Emeritus for JMWH on May 31, 2000. She has also received an Alumni Achievement Award from Fordham University (1999), an award for Individual Contribution to Maternal and Child Health from the National Perinatal Association (2000), and through her journalistic leadership, midwifery has gained greater visibility and credibility, both nationally and internationally. Concurrent with her editorial role, she has also made significant contributions to clinical practice, education, and administration. For example, at a time when midwifery was virtually nonexistent within the District of Columbia, she wrote the initial grant that funded the Georgetown University nurse-midwifery program which flourishes to this day. She also initiated the Fellowship program within the ACNM and chaired its Board of Governors for 8 years. In addition, she pioneered and coordinated, over an 11-year period, a human sexuality education program for 5-21 year old physically and cognitively challenged students on behalf of the New York City Board of Education. As the Special Projects Coordinator for the State University of New York Health Downstate Medical Center, she coordinated the first midwifery program for non-nurses to be ACNM accredited and stateapproved, thereby helping to create a new model of education for the entire USA.
The Midwifery faculty congratulate Mary Ann Shah on all her achievements.
Ms. Shah received a bachelor of science degree from Columbia University, a master of science degree in guidance and counseling from Fordham University, and a certificate in nurse-midwifery from New York Medical College. She is certified in nurse-midwifery, childbirth education, and special education. As an independent editorial consultant, she continues to contribute to the perinatal health of families through the authorship and editing of health professional literature. She serves as editor of the National Perinatal Association's Resource Guide, "Transcultural Aspects of Perinatal Health Care," an ongoing series.
Professor Aleida Llanes-Oberstein was the recipient of the 1999 Eugene B. Feigelson Presidential Outstanding Project Award.
Professor Llanes-Oberstein is described in the award as a visionary health care provider and educator. Through grant funding, she established the first international program on this campus.
The project brought together health care professionals and students from Cuba and the United States for the benefit of patients in both countries.

Adding another magazine cover to her repertoire, Marisa Miller is looking mighty fine in the new issue of Vegas magazine.
The Victoria's Secret model shows off her fit form in an array of sexually-charged photos in which she wears a variety of saucy getups.
Making the most of her trip to southern Florida, Marisa Miller was spotted out at the Raleigh hotel for the Maxim party in on Saturday night (February 6).
Joined by husband Griffin Guess, the Victoria's Secret Angel wore a stunning black dress with long sleeves as she and her man pulled up in a fancy Maybach ride.
Drawing out a plethora of stars, the Fourth Annual DirecTV Celebrity Beach Bowl took place in Miami, FL on Saturday afternoon (February 6).
Joining in on the fun, Marisa Miller, Taylor Lautner, Kellan Lutz, Jennifer Lopez, Chace Crawford and Olivia Munn were among the many that stopped at the blue carpet for some pre-game photos.
Making an appearance on the red carpet, Marisa Miller turned up at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon (January 31).
Ready for the 2010 Grammy Awards, the Victoria's Secret beauty looked oh-so-sexy as she sashayed past fans and photogs at the Tinseltown venue.
Doing her best to earn her big paycheck, Marisa Miller looked stunning as she posed for the Victoria's Secret ad campaign for "Love Rocks".
With a variety of products in the line including perfume, lip gloss and a trendy tote, the lingerie giant tells of their new offering: "Inspired by the edgy allure of rock n' roll, it's a powerful and darling, yet alluringly feminine scent."
Always a welcome sight, the year of 2009 wasn't short of its fair share of sexy celebrity beauties showing off their fabulous figures.
With scenic beaches around the world acting as the perfect setting, Tinseltown hotties such as Miley Cyrus, Hilary Duff and Carrie Underwood were among the lovely lasses to slip on their two-piece swimsuits for a little waterfront fun.
The sexy Victoria's Secret Angels can be seen strutting down the runway on Tuesday in $3 million bras, famous wings and lingerie, but what viewers won't be able to see on the catwalk is the endless hours of work that go into the show.
Shot at Lexington Armory, the show was all about illusions of the model's beautiful bodies on the runway. Makeup and hair, which can take hours, is started 3-5 hours before the show begins with an entourage of 5 people working on 38 models.
Paying a visit to Conan O'Brien, the always-lovely Marisa Miller stopped by "The Tonight Show" in Los Angeles last night (November 24).
The "Victoria's Secret" bombshell looked gorgeous in a dazzling mini dress and heels while she chatted it up with the show's funny host.

Hi Everybody!
I don't know if there is a similiar thread out there or not, but I figured even if this is an 'unintentional repeat' that it can't be said often enough....
I know that there are many veterans on this site and I just wanted to give a sincere THANK YOU to each and every one of you.
I just thought that it'd be a great idea to start a thread expressing my thoughts and would LOVE to see this be one of the LONGEST threads on CC.
You guys and gals sacrificed and paid a hefty price for the peace and freedoms that I enjoy living in this great country of ours and you definitely can't be thanked enough for your service.
It's not about the caliber you carry, it's about how you USE it.

Eric - I give a big thumbs up
I am an aging ''import'' tho now a proud American ..... I have known many guys in the mil' both back in UK and also a few here. They have as always had my utmost respect and altho I did not serve fully I am passionate about these dear people.
We owe them so much - back in history and to the present day. I share the grief of families who lose their young folks and give thanks for what all those who serve do for us back home. The reasons may be up for debate but never ever let that diminish our support.
We owe them a debt of gratitude that can hardly be repaid but the very least we can do is give them all the support and respect they deserve.

It may be a repeat, BUT there are somethings that we just can't express enough whether it's buying a steak for a vet, writting a letter concerning the VA (even before the recent dust up and afterwards), or just saying thanks.
I know that words and deeds will never convey how much I appriciate all of those of us that are willing to leave their family and putting their lives on the line.

They are left in full possession of them."

Thank you for your kind words & support. I have been serving my Country for over 16 years, and God willing I will continue serving her for many more.

Hey, retsupt99, we joined the same year! I was USAF '78 to '86.
If you stand up and be counted, from time to time you may get yourself knocked down. But remember this: A man flattened by an opponent can get up again. A man flattened by conformity stays down for good. ~ Thomas J. Watson, Jr.
USAF,MAY63 TO MAY67.Would do it again if my country needed me,but they need young men,not old codgers like me. sj
I am the luckiest woman alive in that I get to kiss my veteran every night and tell him how proud and thankful I am of his service. If he wanted to go back tomorrow I would stand tall behind him and send him off with a tear in my eye, a smile on my face and love, pride and devotion in my heart.
Thank you ALL for your service to our country. God bless you.
And Semper Fi to my Marine.

I served from 2000-2004 as a USAF combat medic. Our guys on the streets of Iraq need our prayers. I can't tell you how many times I died in training exercises where we were taking streets and neighborhoods, (MOUT Facility). What these heroes are doing is extremely dangerous. Their courage to get up and fulfill their mission every day is enough to make me proud to be an American all by itself! Thanks to all of our veterans, past and present.
Just like I always do when I see a vet out around the town, Shake their hand and thank them for everything. So Thanks for everything
As said so well by Chorizo, it was an honor.
I joined for the experience, not for the thanks. What I got for an experience far outweighs that which I have done since being civilian again. Had I listened to the old salt that told me that "If Uncle Sam didn't pack it in your seabag, you don't need it.", I would very likely still be in.
I would again in a minute...if my wife would let me.
