Discussion in 'NFL Zone' started by sbark, Jan 21, 2013.
Okay, think I got it right this time
Congrats to Welker - she is hot.
6 kids from 4 different moms. no way is he there for them like a normal dad would be. That would require santa like capabilities.
be honest, if you meet a women that has 6 kids from 4 different men, you take a low opinion of her decisions.
It's called the double standard, Bobby.
Spawned from truth.
Not everyone is so fortunate to have a "normal" upbringing, with a mom and a dad in a nice big house with a white picket fence and a puppy. Doesn't mean the children can't be raised properly and have a great life. As i said, the kids could be having a better upbringing than you or me, for all we know. We don't know the nature of the relationships at all, is the point.
I would also imagine when you are famous and are known to have money, that some women would try to throw themselves at you in an attempt to get at some of that money in some way.. its certainly not far fetched imo. When you're young and have money and women are throwing themselves at you, its easy to make mistakes.. no doubt.
Point is.. we don't know the situation, so why pass judgement? Especially on a person who has taken so many steps to turn their life around, and has helped so many needy families and disadvantaged youth with the forture he has been blessed with. Every NFL player has the ability to do alot of charity work and help alot of people.. not many choose to do as much as Ray has done over his career. He also mentors alot of guys on his team and is a leader on that team in every sense of the word.
Like i said before.. i hope he gets his ring, and i hope to heck that someday, somehow, we get a guy like him on this team.
Sir, you sound like a Christian man, so am I. I agree with your stance that pre-martial relations and creating children out of wedlock are the result of bad decisions. But where we differ is how we choose to judge him TODAY. Are we not called to forgive? Are we not called to treat others as we would like to be treated?
If you want to judge Ray Lewis, judge him based off the person he is today....not by the person he was yesterday. In this discussion, your morals are sound but your self-righteousness is not. When you condemn this man for what he's did YESTERDAY, when he's done everything within his ability to make amends TODAY, you're saying there is no redemption for anyone who attempts to change. That is not acceptable to me, many of the people who've commented in this discussion, and above all, the source of where your morals lie.
Dude, I'm sorry, but you are the one making a fool of yourself.
You say I attack you, .. I never once mentioned you, never mentioned you & your father, or you & your son. You are the one that brought all of you into this thread. Not me.
I was talking about Ray Lewis, .. I never mentioned you or anyone else.
If you cannot see the difference between one child with one woman, .. and 6 children with four women, .. then you will never get my point.
He didn't say you attacked him.. your reading comprehension skills are about on par with your logic, i see.
BTW.. the post above yours that i quoted here.. you should read it. We all get your point, its not complicated.. most just don't agree with you.
Agree with everything here. Expertly worded.
I'm not judging Ray Lewis, I have made no statement about his judgement.
That is not for me to say.
He has not done anything to me so it is not up to me to forgive him either.
I said earlier in this thread I really don't care one way or the other about Ray Lewis.
Take Ray Lewis out of this equation if you want to. It doesn't change my opinion.
My point in this thread has been in response to those that say having multiple kids with multiple women is not that big of a deal. That is what brought me into this discussion.
I am not judging him or his actions, only pointing out right from wrong. His actions were only the example given.
Those type of actions are wrong.
Are you sure you want to discuss reading comprehension?
If you can read those two quotes you just posted and understand a difference.. we certainly can.
Is Ray Lewis spending time in the Balt/DC area going from school to school telling kids what mistakes he's made .......and "preaching" to them not to make the same mistakes he has?.....Maybe that is what he is doing inside his Charity work--I dont know........ is there indication he is trying to prevent his role as a sports role model from being translated to being ok to the DC area Youths
Is he doing everything in his ability to make amends today?
He's created his own foundation, and is also involved in USAID.
"He established the Ray Lewis 52 Foundation to provide personal and economic assistance to disadvantaged youth. The foundation has funded such events as adopting ten families in Baltimore City community for the holidays, an annual celebrity auction and bowling tournament, the Great Maryland Duck Derby, Thanksgiving food drives on North Avenue in Baltimore and Ray's Summer Days.
Lewis has also been involved in pressing political, business, and philanthropic leaders for a stronger commitment to disability sports both here and in the developing world."

I found that within two minutes with google. I'm sure there may be more, although that is certainly more than the vast majority of Americans do.
yeah and he is nothing special, he did well for himself
of course she didn't date him because he was a football player, she truly thought he was a nice guy and definitely would have gone out with him if he were just a cook at Hooters.
um isn't saying something is "wrong" a judgment?
he clearly implied he viewed this as a personal attack on himself
good for you.
now go do it 3 more times, and I will happily point out how you don't seem to learn from bad decisions.

Friday Film Review By Laala Kashef Alghata
, Posted on » 05 July 2013
The film, Bling Ring, is based on a number of Hollywood heists in October 2008 through to August 2009 carried out by a group of fame-obsessed teenagers.
It's a story that would be ludicrous if it weren't true - a group of teenagers begin robbing homes under the guidance of charismatic it-girl Rachel Lee (named Rebecca Ahn in the film and played by Katie Chang).
Lee is obsessed with reality television and style, and chose celebrity homes to rob based on whose wardrobe she wanted to raid.
Her sidekick, Marc Hall (played by Israel Broussard), went along with almost all the robberies, reportedly finding the addresses of the homes on the Internet.
The pair went to Paris Hilton's house while she was away, and found the key to her house under the mat and walked in.
They burglarised the house several times without her noticing, until they made off with almost $2 million in jewellery.
Written and directed by Sofia Coppola, the film bears unmistakable elements of her shooting style, with close-cut shots and music drifting in and out of the audio.
Contemporary songs are used to great effect throughout the film, often in scenes when the characters are singing along to the radio or in clubs.
This means the sudden absence of a bass note is immediately noticeable, and Coppola conducts many key burglary scenes almost in silence.
The film has quite a slow pace, and might be difficult for some to understand the moral of the movie - mostly because Coppola does not provide one.
The teenagers depicted are money-hungry and fame-obsessed, take an array of drugs and alcohol, are offhand about their conquests and are so arrogant about their odds of getting away with it that they take pictures with the items they steal and don't try to wipe away fingerprints.
However, the absence of serious condemnation lifts the movie, although it has been accused of glorifying the thefts (by some real-life victims such as Rachel Bilson).
The breakthrough from the movie, though, is the stunning acting by
Emma Watson (playing
Nicki Moore).
Her comedic timing, impersonations and layers of subtly is intriguing, and will shatter any doubts about her acting ability.
Leslie Mann also plays a terrific Laurie Moore (Nicki's mother) and is compelling and hilarious.
Throughout the movie, Coppola intersperses actual footage from the time of the arrests and trial through gossip sites such as TMZ, an interesting choice that makes the film a semi-documentary.
Incredibly, Paris Hilton actually lent her house to Coppola for two weeks, so the scenes burglarising her house were actually filmed there.
Topped off with cameo appearances by Hilton and Kirsten Dunst, the film will not be to everyone's taste but nonetheless is a great addition to Coppola's growing canon of indie films.
The film is showing at Bahrain City Centre and has a running time of 90 minutes.

does constipation lead to diarrhea?
Shyman asks:
I had a backed-up problem recently. Then I ate tuna casserole, and an hour after eating, I sat and crap flew out of my backside fast-paced like. My question being: is constipation then diarrhea -- without laxatives -- normal? Or did the food I ate evacuate my bowels?
Dear Shyman,
While it's tempting to blame the tuna casserole, it probably was not the immediate culprit. It usually takes food at least several hours to a day to make the journey to freedom.
There are lots of things that could be going on. IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) can sometimes cause symptoms like alternating diarrhea and constipation. Could be something bad you ate during the day prior to the diarrhea.
If this happens infrequently, I'd put it down to one of those poop mysteries that will likely never be solved. If it seems to happen on a regular basis, go to the doctor and let him figure it out.
But don't be so quick to blame tuna. I love tuna. My tuna casserole would NEVER give you the runs.
Good luck!
Please be advised that I am only a Poonurse. I am NOT a medical doctor. Any advice I give should be taken moderate skepticism. Please consult a REAL medical doctor if you feel you have a serious medical condition.
-- Poonurse
Poonurse is an RN with 25 years experience in labor and delivery. Her qualifications include seeing a lot of poop, and owning a computer. Also, she works in Michigan, which she calls the asshole of the universe, so that's another bit of credibility.
Got a question for her?
85 Comments on "does constipation lead to diarrhea?"
I have had diarrhea after constipation. Usually this occurs when I have been constipated and my period starts. For some reason this liquifies all the poo behind my butt plug, so when I finally dislodge it there is an explosion of brownie soup.
I found Jesus! He was behind the sofa the whole time!
Oy, periods are satan for shitting, or when your cramps are bad anyway. That makes it hell to push.
I know what you mean, Somechick. I hate it when I cramp up so bad that I CAN'T shit as well as when I get soft serve.
I found Jesus! He was behind the sofa the whole time!
Please tell me that women are the only ones responding to this. First off, I'm a MAN. SHYMAN IS A MAN, I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I'M HIM.
Shyman. Calm down. Are you having some issues with your sexuality or something?
Hey, shyman. Periods!
I found Jesus! He was behind the sofa the whole time!
I have had diarrhea after constipation many times usually after:
A. I consume too much Magnesium.
B. The poop accumulates so much, that it liquifies (this I have never figured out).
C. I eat an over amount of raw vegetables. (especially raw broccoli).
D. Sometimes my body doen't respond to laxatives until I have a few days worth in my system, then, whammo.
E. Any combination of the above.
Other things that can cause this to happen are IBS-A. If I were you, I would see a doctor if this continues.
Jammin' lo'flo's since 1977.
"Two percent of the population think; three percent of the population think they think, and 95 percent of the population would rather die than think."
So Shyman, after nearly two years and two months, a man has finally answered your question.
Jammin' lo'flo's since 1977.
"Two percent of the population think; three percent of the population think they think, and 95 percent of the population would rather die than think."
I believe I have a weird case of IBS....I usually dont potty for 6 or 7 days(sometimes longer)....then all of the sudden I start having violent cramps in my stomach and start going so bad, that I have to call in from work. This happens about 1 time a month, sometimes 2. I always get really bad indegestion before I start going poop. Sometimes I wont poop for 11 days,I get feverish, and I have to take zelnorm, and that makes me poop for 2 days...and it makes me so sick......help me! Its like I cant get on tract.....
Hehe . . . can't get on "tract."
DD, are you taking any medications?
A few years ago, my husband was on a buttload of medications, and he would only poop once a week. We called it "Ass Day." It was usually Saturday or Sunday, which was good because he couldn't have gone to work in the condition he was usually in on Ass Day. Basically, he'd get really bad intestinal cramps and crap all day long. I recall he was also having gallbladder problems at that time too. His doctor gave him Miralax, but he never bothered with it. It went away when he stopped taking the meds, and so too did the gallbladder issues.
My grandma is having horrid cramping, painful lower stomache, so we called MD, were told to get dulcolax (biscolyt (sp?)-based) suppositories and before I reurned with them, she is sqirting red hot flaming painful runny doodoo with little pea size poop and I dont know what do do to stop the endless poop now, and she still feels constipated! And now she feels {and it only looks red to me-not like my kids' bad diaper rashes...}like it is raw and she wont stay put...
Her pain level is going down at the moment...
Where can I find advice online at this late hour?
if you're worried, call an after hours clinic. If they're closed and you think she needs immediate medical attention take her to the ER.
All Ya'll,
Got A Question: Can Constipation Cause Nausea Like It Can Cause Diarrhea?
Yes, it definitely can cause nausea. It's rather common for people who are full of crap to have it start coming out of their mouths; just look at politicians for indisputable proof.
...and they all lived crappily ever after!
...and they all lived crappily ever after!
Last Sunday night I had lots of mush, so bad that I stayed home Tuesday with more mush, then I got constipated, then more mush. It's been a week, no meds, no change in diet or excercise... some mild to tearful pain, most pain is during the mush phase... is this norm? Should I expect this to work it's way out? Should I go to my doctor (I hate doctors)?
All of a sudden , I cant eat raw vegetables without getting stomach cramps and diarrhea. I can no longer eat salad which I love. What might be causing this?
I've had a lifetime of varying degrees of constipation - lasting over a week sometimes when I was younger. Sure, it can be uncomfortable sometimes, but I think I'm lucky. I've never had diarrhoea and haven't vomited for about twenty years - so for me at least, there is no link at all.
I've heard about one case of constipation masquerading as diarrhea from a friend of mine. His elderly mother was taking Immodium for diarrhea, and it didn't seem to be helping. When the diarrhea didn't subside, she took more Immodium, etc. Finally, after a couple of weeks, my friend got his mother to a doctor. What they found was an impaction in the bowel. The solid mass was only allowing liquid material to reach the exit, while the plug itself remained intact and unmovable.
I am a 32 year old female and I have issues. Since I was a teen I had diarreha everyday sometime violent painful episodes (near miss embarrasing episodes)I thought it was IBS but no matter what I did it never got under control and I just learned to deal with it. A year or so ago it all of a sudden change to constipation all the time with the occasional constipation followed immediately by diarreha. I thought this was better becuase I didn't run the chance of total humiliation and I could actually leave the house on a regular basis. Also with this came indegestion (heartburn & nausea)as well as a chronic dull ache interally on my upper right side under my ribs. This ache gets worse at times and I cannot sleep on my left side. The ache is on my right but I can't sleep on my left??? I always know an hour or so before I have to go due to the extreme pain. I swear I can feel it moving through my intestines with razor blades attached. Recently, I have noticed small amounts of blood tinged mucus. I have made an appointment with my doctor but I am worried this has developed into something way more serious and possibly multiple conditions encompassing my gallbladder. Any ideas?
Above - you've done the right thing - see what Doc says. My constipation pain is always on the right, I get the sharp pain too, and have had the blood. Always do if I force or strain. When I had it checked out it was nothing - hopefully the same for you!!!
I'm fifteen years old and it is now 03:30am here. I woke up an hour ago and found myself constipated and experiencing a lot of pain in my left side. I managed to go toilet, only producing two, tiny stools and I felt awful of the thought that I couldn't get rid of what was inside of me. I have eaten a apple today.. but was treated to a little chocolate and chips later on.
I've read lots about IBS and my heart goes out to them. Some stories made me cry. I'm the worst person for getting my knickers in a twist and I feel awful. I'm at my Dad's, typing this now, trying to have a nice time.
I'm wondering if I should go home and stuff my face with apples. I just hope this isn't serious. I want to sleep!
alot of these comments sound simaler to what's going on with me. ever since i was a little kid i've had problems with constipation. only within the past year have i started having diarrhea. i almost always poop small amounts of very hard stool, and i only go maybe once or twice a week. when i get seriously stoped up it's BAD! i've been to the doctor before and had x rays of my belly, and they showed me that i was literaly "full of shit". the only thing that helps me with that are enemas. when i finaly do go it's like a huge plug popping out!(im talking almost tennis ball sized) but now i will get totaly random attacks of diarrhea with horrible cramps. but in not sure why.
be safe and blame the tuna get bad poops if I dunk Oreo cookies in strong coffee.
toilet paper
Shit disturber- you may need to change your diet. You may also want to increase your fluid intake along with something like Benefiber. Believe it or not, more fiber intake can eliminate diarrhea by causing the stool to "bulk up" and plenty of fluid intake will help keep things moving through.Good luck._______
Sam Walton has recently requested patrons not shit at Wal-Mart, they are over-stocked!
Hello there... It's 3:30am in my area and I'm experiencing difficulty defecating and suffering a slight (and occasionally increased) aches in my lower left side... I need your help...
I'm a twenty year old guy who recovered 2 days ago from a bout of fever accompanied with diarrhea and green stool.
A few hours ago, more or less 6-7 hours, I had a dinner with my friends after recovering from my fever and diarrhea. (Against my common sense and better judgement,) we had some cold meatloaf, rice, home-made mashed potatoes, and two glasses of very dilute lime martinis (the glass tips laced with sugar). About 3-4 hours later, I started feeling this ache in the lower left portion of my torso, and that it was hard for me to poop, which I have done so for more than 5 times with only little poop coming out each time.
On the 5th time, I decided to investigate my poop more closely, and i put on a rubber glove and felt through my loose poop in the toilet bowl. It sank quickly to the bottom of the bowl, but i was able to feel some rather small chunks that were rather resistant to pressure (they were not hard as rocks, but required steady and enough pressure to squeeze and flatten.) Those particular chunks i suspect were the remnants of the cold meatloaf, apparently not entirely digested, since it still had the same color of the meatloaf...
I'm really, really worried because i don't want to suffer another bout of constipation and make a fuss for my family about it, especially on christmas day, i've been drinking water from time to time since the ache.
Would walking around a bit loosen the poop still in me, and does drinking water at this point help?
Please reply ASAP...
There are some prescription medicines for IBS. I had IBS about 20 years ago for a couple of years at least, and I would get frequent strong diarrhea attacks, especially during a class I taught at night, regardless of what I ate or avoided. I was able to stave off the urge until break time every time but once, when I had to excuse myself (and thus start the break) about half an hour early. Often I could stave it off till class was over (10 p.m.) and then go in and explode. I know that some of my male students heard my loud and liquid poops as they used the same restroom at break. One night, after work, I got another powerful urge. I decided to test my projection, which I knew was considerable. There was a place off the side of the property that was occasionally used by tramps, so a little more poop there would not be much noticed. I held my explosion in with some difficulty; then I found a landmark at the edge of the area, took off my pants and underpants [deserted place, dark night], thrust out my bottom, and pushed. The stream of poop shot straight back with a loud wet-farty sound for a couple of seconds. When I was sure I was done, I wiped as well as I could out there, laid down the paper, put my clothes back on, and went inside to put the used paper in the toilet and finish wiping. The next day I arrived early to work, went to the spot, and saw my brown streak. As best I could walk it off, it went 15 feet. Has anyone else tried this?
About that time I did start seeing my doctor about the IBS. The medicine he gave me controlled it fairly well, and I was able gradually to lessen its use, and the IBS eventually disappeared. Good luck to all of you who suffer with it--I know it's often painful and frustrating.
Heh heh. So I'm only 20, and I had my first blockup! Wheeee! It finally came out this morning after a bath and some prune juice that my dad pumped into me. So I'm totally unblocked. This all happened around 11am. Ever since then, I've had a slight case of the runs as well as body(back, abdominal region, and legs) aches (from the straining this morning..?). I feel like crap (no pun intended) Anyone else have this problem?
You people are disgusting, talking about your bodily functions this way. What would Miss Manners think? If you must talk about your digestive problems in public, stick to purely medical terms.
Yeah lol. No wonder they ain't famous. lol. Cos over-inflated ego's can only b pitied. @ Anonymous Coward. Well i've tried nearly all bowel medication, and 2 me they all just work the same way as each other. Except Picolax, which works (very strongly) within 3 hours of drinkin it. The only thing that helps me is eatin a bowl of 'Shreddie's' when i get diahorrea! The stool is painless if u stick 2 eatin a bowl of Shreddie's bout once a day :)
im 17 year old male ive just tryed to go dump and oh my god i cannot go it hurts soo much when i try i nearly passed out because of the pain im really dreading having to try n get it out anyone got any ideas for how i can make it easier
Does having one case of diarrhea mean it will happen again? I just had a moderate case about 1.5 hours ago after 3 days of constipation
Well i am not sure how to diagnose my problem, I spend a lot of time in the bathroom sitting on the toilet typing on my laptop waiting to poop and sometimes i have to wait ages to pass stool but when it comes in comes in spurts, when i was younger i used to hold my poop in for ages like at school camp etc until i had a comfortable place to go, nowadays i dont even get the urge to go unless i sit on the toilet and wait for it to come. do i have a problem. and if so what is it.
when i was maybe 6-17yrs old i used to get stomach aches, more like cramps. i could feel my intestines constricting and it hurt bad! would be followed by a long liquidy sound and the pain settling down. diareah was always going along with this. anytime i ate somewhere other then my house. and id get it at my house at times also. so many times a month this would happen, i figured out that milk caused stomach aches so i stopped drinking it, but id still get them. iv heard this is a symptom of celiac.. or is it? i dont get these pains very oftin now, im 24. when i do i throwup now i get so dizzy from the constricting. since i was really young iv been very underweight also, i eat normal amounts of food. more protein then most of my friends, but i dont gain anything its like my body isnt able to absorb enough nutrience out of the food i eat.
i know ur going to just tell me i should talk to my doctor, but i have. they sent me for thyroid, bloodcell, and other blood tests to check for mineral levels. all normal, doctor left it at that. im not so sure thats it though but it seems like no one wants to take it on , maybe if i had a few ideas on what it could be they would be more modivated to investigate. help me out?
I am a type 1 Diabetic who suffers from IBS. Once or twice a month I'll have bad abdominal cramps, followed by a run to the bathroom....where I first am able to make a formed BM, then comes the explosion. During this time, I break out into a sweat all over my body (literally dripping sweat from my face), and feel extremely nauseous to the point where I'm on the toilet holding a trashcan to throw up in. Then...after everything passes...I'm fine! Exhausted, but fine! I've had a colonoscopy, CT-scan, Endoscopy, blood test for Celiac, and....nothing. IBS. Three little letters that haunt me. What to do....
To skinny n liquid shitty,
I would go back to the doctor and ask about being tested for Crohns Disease, an autoimmune disorder that effects the stomach, intestines, etc. Although not super common, I used to date someone who was diagnosed with that and he had similar symptoms to what you are describing. He also was very skinny and could never put on weight. He would get pain like you wouldn't believe in his intestinal area and would get the runs awful here and there.
Certainly not trying to concern you, just giving you some information to ask your doctor about, its better to get tested so you know, so that you either have your correct diagnosis or can rule another thing out. I myself have a different autoimmune disorder, rheumatoid arthritis, which took multiple doctors and special blood tests to get my final diagnosis. All the while I suffered waiting for an answer to my problems until that final diagnosis, the less time it takes to get an answer, the quicker you can start getting treatment.
I second Catwoman's suggestion.
If what your doctor told you doesn't sound right, get a second opinion. Sometimes things don't show up on blood panels the first time around. Sometimes doctors make mistakes and don't order the right tests (shock!!). Go to a specialist and get yer butt checked out again.
Oh man, for as long as I can remember I've been constipated, but livable. Then last year I worked at Quizno's and it all came to a head. I thought I was going to die, but my doctor set me straight...
Now I am 22 in China, and experiencing constipation and diarrhea at the same time. I strain and strain, then 'whoosh' and 5 seconds of bliss. Then I get lower stomach (intestinal?) cramps and the feeling of constipation all over again. I'm hoping/dreading its something I ate and that this will be better by tomorrow...
How long does a severe IBS attack last? I haven't been able to work or leave my house for the last week and a half. I'm taking Immodium, Dicyclomine, every probiotic product on the market. It has stopped the diarrhea and I have regular bowel movements, but I still have severe debilitating cramps. I feel like I am having contractions that are only a few minutes apart. I can't go on living like this. It doesn't seem to matter what I eat, I always feel this way. Not eating is the only way to find relief.
I am still undergoing tests and have yet to be diagnosed with IBS or anything else. From what I have read on the web, IBS is my best guess. Thoughts? Suggestions? Help!
I came upon this looking up the spelling of constipated. I just spent an hour on the toilet trying to get my constipated diarrhea out. Yep. Somehow i managed that...
Hey Skinny and Liquid Shitty. I had the same thing for SOOOOO long and then I found out that I have Celiac disease. You don't need to go to the doctor to figure it out. Eat gluten free for a couple weeks and then try eating it again and see what happens. Research Celiac disease first so that you know exactly how to eat gluten free so you can make sure you are doing it right.
can somebody PLEASE help me out?
the problem is, on Saturday (January 3rd), i woke up to a weird diarrhea that only lasted for less than an hour.
After this, I'd become constipated. The following Monday I realized I might have an issue to I went out and bought some laxative (which I've never had to do in my life..) and took the provided amount and thought I was done with it.
Tuesday morning, Mr. Bowel Movement came. Great, I thought. No.
I didn't go again that day. I didn't go again on Wednesday, or Thursday. On Thursday, I decided to take another two laxative pills to clear myself out because I was starting to feel really sick when I moved my body in anyway (probably because of being so clogged), and I finally went Friday morning.
After that, I decided I didn't want to rely on pills to make me go because they made me feel a little sicker than I'd already felt... so I decided to run out and buy myself some prune juice.
It worked the first day (Saturday), so I was really happy and relieved.
Constipation continued onto Sunday, so before I fell asleep on Sunday, I drank a cup of prune juice (and accidently fell asleep)
I woke up on Monday (this morning) with a sore stomach as if I had to go only to find I was still constipated. I drank another cup of prune juice and waited a few hours. Nothing. THEN I decided to take a couple fiber wafers (2 grams of fiber each and I took 4...) Nothing, at first.
Then about an hour later, diarrhea! And THIS diarrhea is exceptionally horrible because it's watery and it's rather weird. It's weird because my stomach feels like I have to run and use the bathroom immediately, but when I sit down, It takes 10 minutes or so to even get the water stuff to come out. And when it DOES come out, it's violent.
I reallllllllly don't want to go to the doctor because it's embarrassing..
but here I go again.. have to run back to the bathroom to wait another 10 minutes to have my ass painfully violated. :[[[[[[[[[
Let me get this straight...You are about the 45,679th person with seems to be a serious medical issue, who would rather come to a website about poop, and the humor involved in it, and get advise from a bunch of laypersons with no medical training, than go to a doctor because you are too embarrassed? I think your real issue is you are too stupid.
The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough.
"One of the founding members of the Front Page Hyena Pack, and runs as its alpha male when the urge strikes him, which is often." Daphne (one perceptive chick)
BP, I think sickstrawverry just needs affirmation that something is wrong enough to consult an expert. Maybe she grew up, like me, in a family in which one had to be very sick to call a doctor.
Grrrr...I hate it when newcomers become the voice of reason....There are so many comments that I(we) have to read and approve, just like the one above, where people seem to have serious issues, but are too embarrassed to go to a doctor. Not afraid...embarrassed....think about that for a second. "I'm so embarrassed that I might have something seriously wrong with me" compared to "I am so afraid there might me something seriously wrong with me". Which one do you think deserves compassion? Thats not to say that you aren't right, Kimchee, I need to back down a little. To "sickstrawverry", my apologies, but I wouldn't mess around here, go see a doctor.
The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough.

Awww, you're a good one, BP! Thanks a lot to you and everyone that is using their time in order to keep this fun site going!
im having problems with my bowel movements. it started about a year and a half ago. i was still in high school and i was always constipated. now that i am in college my problem is getting worse. i get constipated for about a week..i feel really bloated and gassy and i have abdominal pains. after a week it turns to diarrhea and i have to go to the bathroom almost every hour..it's like a cycle.
i'm always feeling unfomfortable during class because i always feel like i have to go and my stomach is always making wierd sounds..it's really embarrasing because it's very loud during class..i always miss class and i have low grades because i am afraid to go to school. i'm even thinking about not going to school next semester if i still have this problem.
i went to the doctor about 4 months ago and he told me that i had a bug so he gave me antibiotics but i still had the same problem and about 2 months ago i was prescribed a stronger antibiotic but i still have the same problem.
i have also been experienceng pain in the rectum and rectal bleeding. when i have a bowel movement, even when i have diarrhea.. it is very little and thin and i hve to stop because it is painful and i start to bleed but then my stomach feels very bloated and gassy. i always feel like i hav to go but nothing will come out.
my mom is very worried because when i was 2 years old a had a colon polyp and she said that i am showing the same symptoms and the doctor said that i could get a nother polyp when im older.
i am really scared and i hope its not a polyp. my mom keeps telling me to go to the doctor but i am so tired of taking antibiotics. i am so confused!! is it a bug that just won't go away?? or is it a polyp?? please help me!!!!

Nice movie. It struck me toward the end that I was listening to "The Battle Hymn of the Republic". Interesting that they would choose that.

Yes, you would think that the MOC would know better. Its simply not historically appropriate to use a Union themed song for a video featuring Confederate relics in a CONFEDERATE museum. Dixie or another Southern themed tune would be historically correct, though not politically correct. Were this the Museum of the Union featuring Union relics, then the BHR would be perfect. A bit of PC virus I would assume or, perhaps, sloppiness.

I believe it was purposefully done by the, sad to say, VMI grad who is a scalawag. My sister knows his and they both live in Virginia Beach. I asked my sister to speak to her and try to change his ways, but obviously to no avail.

Dear Brock - the term "scalawag" is reserved for only the worst of the worse. I would appeal to you sir to please hold that term for only extreme cases.
Let's not give up hope for this poor misguided soul. Certainly, just the air at VMI will eventually bear some good fruit.

Brock - BTW, if it was purposeful to make some kind of political statement, then it was petty, unprofessional, and juvenile. I'll give the benefit of the doubt and say it was ignorance or just plain sloppiness.

After some further reflecting, I choose to hear the song as "John Brown's Body" instead of the other one mentioned.

Queens NY (SPX) Dec 13, 2012
The Matspeth Community has announced the completion of a solar energy system on top of the distribution center for Kam Man Food Corporation, a leading Asian supermarket chain, which operates stores in New York City, New Jersey, and Massachusetts.
The 35,000 square-foot food distribution facility in Matspeth, a community in the New York City borough of Queens, New York, now operates a 101-kW solar energy system that will generate electricity for the building's refrigeration requirements, greatly reducing its overall electricity costs and dependence on the regional utility company.
The solar project involved the installation of 442 solar PV panels and associated electrical hardware on the roof of the warehouse. Centrosolar America was selected to supply the solar panels and inverters and Renusol America provided the mounting system. Centrosolar America is well known for its popular CentroPack 'all in one', customized and fully integrated photovoltaic system for residential and commercial solar installations.
The Renusol America's CS60 mounting system selected for this project represents the latest innovation in solar mounting system for flat roofs. The Renusol CS60 is the industry's first-ever 'one unit per one PV panel' mounting system and is changing how solar arrays are deployed on flat rooftops across America by eliminating the panel layout restrictions inherent to traditional, rigid aluminum racking rails.
It is made from 100% recycled HMWPE, bringing another sustainable building solution to the US building industry. The mounting unit is pre-molded with fewer parts, which means savings on time and labor costs for solar installers.
"We were able to demonstrate to the executives of Kam Man Foods how this solar energy system would cut their energy bills substantially-even in the Northeast, where the amount of sunshine is unpredictable," said Andrew Lai, Helios Senior Business Development Manager.
"By using the latest, most innovative solar products on the market, we were able to install the project quickly and without incurring any of the weather-related delays that can be typical in this part of the country."
Quad State Solar of Plainview, New York installed the system. Quad State Solar is recognized by several government agencies in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania as an approved solar installation contractor and is certified with several alternative energy trade associations as a contractor and installation instructor.
"We've now become a regional role model for renewable energy usage. This 101kw system actually offset 100% of our annual usage. We are delighted to share our joyfulness with all our neighbors and the community. We recognize this is a great investment. We will also enjoy a generous incentive from government related departments," said Vice-President of Kam Man Food Corporation Andrew Nie.

Discussion in 'Off-topic Zone' started by WoodysGirl, Feb 19, 2012.
Run fast.
Run far.
Just run.
Tucker and Dale vs Evil 8/10
Went in with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised, very funny movie
I like the movie as well.
When he is running with the chain saw and the other guy is running beside him...don't know why but that just had me laughing.
I did more than laugh!
It was more like a howl! One of the funniest things I've ever seen in a movie. It was such a brilliant take-off of "Texas Chainsaw" and other slasher flicks.
30 Days of Night (2007)
Wow, you guys were right on. This original is SO much better than its sequel! I have a little problem with the ending, that being about the town sheriff being able to do what he did there at the end. In a way, this film reminded me of "The Thing"...trapped in a desolate place with horror lurking, ever dwindling number of people... I thought there was some pretty good acting in this film. Pretty well cast. Some pretty good frights. And of course, the ever present little scary girl scene...how overdone is that by the way?
8.3 out of 10
You left out the best thing...the oh crap, what took so long to put vampires where the sun never rises storyline.
The Other Woman - 4/10. A few funny parts, but mostly just whiny people being whiny. Pass on it.
That's disappointing to hear. That was the one "chick" flick I might have seen with my wife. I'll probably wait until Netflix to have it.
Same, was looking forward to this one and acting like Kate isn't that hot in front of the wife
"Jeepers Creepers"
It's the tale of three movies.
The first 2/3 is solid. Great character development. Good setup. Solid premise. The beginning 1/2 hour is excellent. Both main characters seem like real people as opposed to the cliché characters we find in many horror films.
I would grade the first 1/2 hour as a 9/10.
The second half hour is decent but not nearly as good as the first half hour 6/10.
The final half hour drops the ball. At this point it becomes a regular horror film, with nothing of great interest happening. The other problem is that the movie leaves plot-holes the size of craters unanswered. 3/10.
Overall? I'd give it 5.5/10
"Beyond Re-Animator"
This is the third of the "Re-Animator" series that was started in the mid-80's. This 3rd chapter was done in 2003 and takes up where #2 leaves off.
Like the other installments this one is big on "camp" and gore. #3 was done as a direct-to-video project and was filmed some place in South America in order to reduce costs.
There's not much slack-time in the film, there's mayhem from beginning to end, which helps override some of the cheezyness of the film.
Jeffrey Combs continues his gig as Dr. Herbert West... and he's about perfect for the part.
If you enjoyed #1 & #2 then you'll enjoy this. It's not a world-beater but it's entertaining enough.
"Hatchet 3".
Anyone that's watched the this series knows that it's a take-off of like "Friday the 13th" and "Texas Chain Saw".
But instead of going for obvious laughs like the "Scary Movie" franchise, they go for laughs using way over-the-top violence... Just incredible violence built around a premise that they (the actors, actresses, crew, director, producer) are making a series of serious horror films.
I remember throwing the first "Hatchet" into my DVD player firing it up and the killer pull a guys intestines out for about 30 yards. I thought what the heck (I didn't say "heck") is this? And then I laughed.
Anywho, #3 follows the same path as #1 and #2.
Not a great flick, but better than a lot of them that I've seen.
Caroline Williams is one of the stars in this film. She starred in "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2" which came out in the mid 1980's (and is a weird flick in its own right also starring Dennis Hopper). It also stars Danielle Harris who appeared in the somewhat forgettable "Halloween's #4 & #5" in the late 80's. She played a little girl who was supposedly Michael Myer's niece. Yawn.
I liked that seen where they were driving by and spotted him carrying out that body. That was good.
The beginning is simply outstanding. If someone wants to see how to develop a horror film the right way, simply watch the first 1/2 of "Jeepers Creepers".
That's what makes the second 1/2 so disappointing.
The director had something going there and then... It was like the Cowboys hitting December! LOL!
All they needed to do was fill some of the plot holes.
I agree. I thought this movie was on to become a classic in that genre but it ended up somewhat of a disappointment. I still give it a thumbs up but it had the potential to score big and just fell somewhat towards the end.
White House Down
Well. There were several blatant movie ripoffs in this movie, primarily Die Hard, complete with the nerd hacker wizard spouting off lines and alerting the bad guys to incoming. There were some decent scenes, and the little girl waving the flag near the end was a nice touch.
6.5 out of 10
Didnt one them end where guy was sitting in the chair outside the barn looking up at wall where he hung "Jeeper" waiting for it to wake up? Every some odd years.
Yeah, that was the second one.
It was an OK flick. They provided some of the plot-filler that should have been tied to the first one.
They've been talking about doing a #3 that would feature the girl of the first movie and one of the guys of the second.

Thanks for the help. By the way, I don't think the feature of "if not in this group, let the job into the queue" works. I found a note in the archives which indicated that someone had configured a queue that way. And, my interpretation of queue attributes in the ERS made me think it was possible. But, I put a boatload of print statements into the server source to follow the flow and the resulting output, under various queue configurations, showed that the logic would not work. I found that only the positive works: if you are in the group, let the job into the queue. Anyways, thanks again. Michael

When economic developers head into the marketplace to sell Arizona's benefits to interested relocation prospects, one item on that list is plentiful: reliable and well-priced utilities. While some cities deliver electric power in addition to sewer and water, the power grid is essentially divided between Arizona Public Service, Salt River Project and Tucson Power & Electric.
With multiple agencies busy knocking on doors around the world to bring home the business, Arizona's utilities plan to deliver that promise.
"APS is typically looking 15 to 20 years into the future to anticipate future power generating resources," explains Alan Bunnell, external and media relations representative for APS. "We want to be sure we have the infrastructure to meet Arizona's continued growth and ensure a vibrant economy."
Over at SRP, Senior Economic Development Project Manager Ed Grant says, "SRP's resource plan is designed to meet our peak demand requirements plus a 12 percent planning reserve. We use a mix of conventional resources, renewables, energy efficiency programs and market purchases." SRP works with its various planning groups to maintain a long-term resource plan to meet growing needs.
Arizona's economy is a roller-coaster ride over the decades. Each climb is higher than the last. As the economy exits the latest recession, Arizona looms as an economic powerhouse with new businesses coming into the market. As each peak rises higher, utilities planning efforts ensure the power is not a stumbling block.
"APS has experienced the full weight of Arizona's economic recessions many times in the past," Bunnell says. "We have a reasonable sense of how to meet future demands. We're already working on the power generation of the future. We are prepared for how and when those supplies will be developed and delivered."
SRP has responsibility for delivering power and water in its service area. Grant explains that the future is bright, "Extensive planning efforts at SRP ensure the region enjoys an abundant supply of water and power. Long-term planning for power means SRP is able to meet long-term area needs."
Water for America's sixth largest metro is a challenge SRP is well-prepared to handle. "SRP has a diverse water supply," says Grant. "We're obtaining water from the Colorado River, our own system and treated wastewater. Developers are required to demonstrate an assured, renewable water supply."
Recently, SRP joint-ventured with the Gila River Indian Community for the Gila River Water Storage program. The program creates a system of Central Arizona Project water credits and storage credits covering more than 100 years of usage.
APS and SRP are among the co-owners of the Navajo Generation Station in the Four Corners Region. The coal-fired power plant has been operating under an EPA-generated regulatory cloud that may require unaffordable air quality improvements to the facility. The generator powers the CAP project and serves Arizona, the Navajo Nation and the metro area.
"NGS is one piece of a large and diverse generation portfolio," says Charles Duckworth, SRP's senior director of energy management reports. "SRP is working on steps necessary to affordably keep the Navajo Nation operating. However, we have a highly flexible resource plan that gives SRP confidence in its ability to meet long-term customer needs."

Australian Workers Union national secretary
Mr Howes said yesterday the coal seam gas extraction in the state's north would help create thousands of jobs and "it was a smart policy in government" for the former administration to permit gas exploration in NSW.
The union leader's comments came as mining giant
Santos spokesman Matthew Doman said the company had agreed to delay its works at the site until after the Namoi Water Study, designed to assess the impact of mining on water supply on the Liverpool Plains, was released in March.
The company would "continue with its planned exploration and appraisal program in areas surrounding Gunnedah and Narrabri" away from the nutrient-rich black soil prized by farmers, the company said in a statement.
Preparatory civil works would continue at the site.
Nationals MP
The deal puts an end to a three-week blockade of the site by about 100 farmers and members of CSG action group the Lock the Gate Alliance. The government was forced to back away from claims by Mr Humphries this week that it would ask all CSG explorers to halt test drilling until tough new land use rules were introduced.
The Labor opposition, which granted all of the state's 44 gas exploration licences when in government, said last week it would support a bill by the Greens imposing a moratorium on the industry until a scientific study of its effects had been carried out.

POWAY, Calif. -- For the third year in a row Aldila has captured both the wood and hybrid shaft manufacturer counts at Augusta. This year, "The Hottest Shafts In Golf" was led by their most popular shaft series, Tour Blue and Tour Green.
When play began at the season's first Major championship, Aldila had nine more wood shafts in play and three times the number of hybrid shafts in play than the next leading shaft manufacturer, according to the Darrell Survey. So far this season Aldila has won the wood shaft manufacturer count at 20 of 22 events and won the hybrid shaft manufacturer count at 22 of 22 events on Tour.
"Knowing that the best players in the world have come to rely on Aldila as their preferred shaft of choice when competing at the highest levels is an honor and the ultimate demonstration of the superior performance of our shafts," said John Oldenburg, Aldila's Vice President of Engineering and Product Development.
The Most Accurate Driver at Augusta benefitted from the outstanding performance and unparalleled consistency of Aldila's Tour Blue shaft in his Driver, 3 Wood, 5 Wood and 7 Wood. He finished the tournament with an overall Driving Accuracy Percentage of 85.71 percent.
Aldila also had the #1 Driver Shaft Brand Model - Tour Blue 75, the #1 Wood Shaft Brand Model - Tour Blue 75; and the #1 Hybrid Shaft Brand Model - Tour Green 65 at the season's first Major.
On the Web.com Tour, Aldila's Tour Blue shaft was instrumental for the winner of the El Bosque Mexico Championship. He played Aldila's Tour Blue 105 TX shaft in his hybrid club en route to his second win of the season on the Web.com Tour and with the winning prize of $126,000 he moved to No. 1 on the Regular Season money list. In fact, the Top 3 finishers at the Mexico Open all played Aldila shafts and the Tour Blue 65 was the leading Driver Shaft Brand Model.
"Aldila's Tour Blue/Green shafts are engineered with Next Generation Micro Laminate Technology™ to maximize the power of your golf swing," Oldenburg said. "The Tour Blue is moderate stiff tip shaft and very low torque designed for a slightly higher ball flight with low to moderate spin rate. The Tour Green is a stiff tip shaft with moderate torque designed for lower/penetrating ball flight producing a lower spin rate."
According to Oldenburg, the shaft profiles of the Tour Blue and Tour Green have a constant taper to provide exceptional feel and a smooth, controlled release. The shafts are made with the latest generation of Aldila's Micro Laminate materials (MLT). The ultra thin, ultra strong material allows for the construction of a shaft with outstanding performance and unparalleled consistency.
"Aldila's Next Generation Micro Laminate Technology is comprised of ultra-thin layers of premium, low resin aerospace grade materials," he said. "This design evolution eliminates inconsistent shaft performance caused by material variability. Redesigned tooling also raises the shaft balance point, making this the perfect upgrade for today's modern club head designs."
Aldila (www.aldila.com) offers patented shaft design technologies that consistently outperform other shafts available. This technology advantage is the reason Aldila is the most popular graphite shaft on the PGA Tour. Tour professionals recognize Aldila's advanced performance and year after year that there are more Aldila wood and hybrid shafts in play on Tour than any other shaft manufacturer. Whether the Micro Laminate Technology™ first introduced in Aldila NV™, the most popular graphite ever or today's Next Generation Micro Laminate Technology, Aldila engineers are continually pushing and advancing high performance graphite golf shaft technology well beyond any other manufacturer.
Aldila Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsubishi Rayon America Inc. Aldila Inc. is one of the world's largest manufacturers of carbon fiber shafts. Aldila is a designer, manufacturer and marketer of carbon-based composite products and materials used in various end markets. Aldila's competencies are the development of carbon-based composites and the implementation of manufacturing processes that support the commercialization of these composites.

Has anyone seen the recent shenanigans Herbal Essences is trying to pull?

Listen well, now, for this is the story of Grandfather Sheaf.
Long ago our people lived on the shores of the Northern Sea, and we knew neither bread nor beer, neither brewing nor baking. We hunted and fished and gathered, as our people had always done, since the time of the Great Ice and before.
One day in spring, with the ice newly broken, a ship came slowly to shore: a long ship, with a high, antlered prow. The strange thing was that this ship was completely empty. But going down to meet it, we saw that indeed the ship was not empty, for in it lay a babe, a man-child asleep and naked, and cradled in a shield, and under his head a barley sheaf.
It's my understanding that even though Hiawatha is an Iroquois folk hero Longfellow borrowed from an ethnographer who was writing

Buffalo City Guide
By Thomas MacEntee
Did your ancestors spend time in Buffalo, NY? Our genealogy guide will help you trace them in historical records and resources.
The Nickel City was once the eighth-largest city in the United States and a gateway to the West. Now the second-most populated metro area in New York state, it's more than just a magnet for winter snow. This metropolis near Niagara Falls has a rich history and overflows with resources for tracing your ancestors.
Rush to settle
Cornelius Winney and "Black Joe" Hodges established a trading post near Buffalo Creek about 1789. The area's population surged after the Erie Canal was completed in 1825. Buffalo's location at the southern end of this 524-mile waterway made it a hub for shipping and commerce.
In the mid-19th century, Buffalo was home to abolitionist leaders and served as a stop on the Underground Railroad. Later, many German, Irish, Italian and Polish immigrants settled here.
By 1920, Buffalo's population topped 500,000. Buffalo was among the first major cities to benefit from hydroelectric power (from the Niagara River). Automobiles (Pierce Arrow), and airplane engines and components (Curtiss Aeroplane) were built in Buffalo.
Prosperity and growth continued through Word War II due to Buffalo's excellent transportation and shipping, as well as a large population of immigrant workers. The bubble burst in the 1950s, when the St. Lawrence Seaway opened shipping routes that bypassed the city. Buffalo has since seen its population halved; industries such as health care and education now dominate the economy.
Waterfall of records
While many Buffalo and Erie County records aren't online, this isn't a brick wall for your family history research. Many records are on paper in city and county offices or on microfilm at repositories. To start,
see a resource guide
, lists of the
Erie County clerk's records
and a list of records at the
Buffalo City Clerk's Inactive Records Center
A must-visit repository is the
Buffalo and Erie County Public Library's (BECPL) Grosvenor Room
, which houses materials for Buffalo, Erie County and Western New York. That includes thousands of local histories and genealogies, microfilmed newspapers, more than 400 scrapbooks (1930-1975) and city directories as far back as 1828. Other records you'll use include:
Vital records:
Statewide vital record-keeping in New York began in 1881, but the state health department has Buffalo records starting only in 1914. Records are closed for 75 years or if the person named is alive, though exceptions can be made if you can prove you're a descendant.
Depending on the time period and vital event, the records you seek may be on the city or county level. The vital records access chart at

At the BECPL, you'll find the New York State Vital Records Index, which contains births and marriages from 1881 and deaths from 1880. The
Western New York Genealogical Society collections
at the BECPL include a Vital Index of Early WNY Families, a file of approximately 120,000 cards compiled from 75 sources of births, deaths and marriages.
New York State conducted a census every 10 years from 1815 through 1925, except for 1885 and 1895 (a census was taken in 1892 instead). No Erie County records survive for 1815 to 1845. Many surviving schedules are online at Ancestry.com and
. Most also are on microfilm at various archives, including the New York State Archives.
Cemetery records:

. Records from 1828 to 1993 are on microfilm, the rest are in the library's print collections. You'll also find a few directories online at Ancestry.com and in the free
Internet Archive
Land records:
The Erie County clerk's office has deeds from 1808 to the present. A book of deed tables for land sold by the Holland Land Co., the Farmers' Loan and Trust Co. and others from the early 1800s is available at the BECPL, BECHS and other libraries.
Probate records:
The Erie County clerk serves as clerk for the
Supreme and County Court of Erie County
. Wills and probate files are in the Erie County Surrogate's Court for the 8th District.

Niagara Falls to Buffalo's north ensures no direct water route from Europe; most immigrants arrived at New York City and traveled west to Buffalo. Some crossed the Niagara River from Canada, or arrived by water from another port. The National Archives <archives.gov> and Family History Library (FHL) have microfilmed records for about 1 million of these arrivals at Buffalo and nearby ports from 1902 to 1952.
The Erie County Clerk's office is the best resource for naturalization documents from 1827 to 1929. Naturalizations for Buffalo (1839-1895) and Erie County (1831-1929) are on microfilm at the FHL. Order post-1906 naturalization records from the

Jakarta (AFP) Feb 19, 2009
Top greenhouse gas emitters the United States and Indonesia should use US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's visit to the country to take action against climate change, environmentalists said Thursday.
Around a dozen members of activist group Greenpeace rallied outside the presidential palace during a meeting between Clinton and President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to call for greater assistance for developing countries in reducing emissions.
"We call on the US leadership to handle the issue of climate change seriously and we ask developed countries like the US to provide funds to countries like Indonesia to save their forests and support their efforts to reduce emissions," Greenpeace forest campaigner Bustar Maitar said.
"With the right leadership, we can bring global greenhouse gas emissions under control, set them on a downward trajectory, and avoid the most catastrophic impacts of climate change," Greenpeace Southeast Asia director Von Hernandez said in a letter.
"As the world's second and third largest greenhouse gas emitters, the United States and Indonesia have an historic opportunity to show decisive leadership, and ensure the strong climate protection needed to foster real and sustainable economic security," he said.
Indonesia, where forest-clearing is the main cause of emissions, has been a key nation in pushing for the inclusion of credits for forest conservation into any global carbon-trading regime.
Speaking with Indonesian Foreign Minister Hassan Wirajuda Wednesday, Clinton said she "applauded" Indonesian efforts to "integrate deforestation into the broader climate negotiations."
But Greenpeace said that the United States needs to develop "concrete projects" that would pay countries to halt deforestation and promote environmentally friendly development.
