George Zimmerman Case
George Zimmerman, the Media and the Search for the Great White Racist
Coverage of the George Zimmerman trial gives ample demonstration that most of our agenda driven media today makes the facts fit the story and not the other way around. Cathy Young at Reason examines how the media has constantly attempted to falsely portray George Zimmerman as a white racist:
This narrative has transformed Zimmerman, a man of racially mixed heritage that included white, Hispanic and black roots (a grandmother who helped raise him had an Afro-Peruvian father), into an honorary white male steeped in white privilege. It has cast him as a virulent racist even though he once had a black business partner, mentored African-American kids, lived in a neighborhood about 20 percent black, and participated in complaints about a white police lieutenant's son getting away with beating a homeless black man.
This narrative has perpetuated the lie that Zimmerman's history of calls to the police indicates obsessive racial paranoia. Thus, discussing the verdict on the PBS NewsHour, University of Connecticut professor and New Yorker contributor Jelani Cobb asserted that "Zimmerman had called the police 46 times in previous six years, only for African-Americans, only for African-American men." Actually, prior to the call about Martin, only four of Zimmerman's calls had to do with African-American men or teenage boys (and two of them were about individuals who Zimmerman thought matched the specific description of burglary suspects). Five involved complaints about whites, and one about two Hispanics and a white male; others were about such issues as a fire alarm going off, a reckless driver of unknown race, or an aggressive dog.
In this narrative, even Zimmerman's concern for a black child—a 2011 call to report a young African-American boy walking unsupervised on a busy street, on which the police record notes, "compl[ainant] concerned for well-being"—has been twisted into crazed racism. Writing on the website of The New Republic, Stanford University law professor Richard Thompson Ford describes Zimmerman as "an edgy basket case" who called 911 about "the suspicious activities of a seven year old black boy." This slander turns up in other left-of-center sources, such as ThinkProgress.org. Continue reading
Family Rescued by Zimmerman Afraid They Will be Targets of Anti-Zimmerman Mobs
Sometimes in the past few years I have to shake my head and wonder: "Is this still the United States of America?"
The family rescued by George Zimmerman after a rollover crash in Florida are terrified they will become targets for hate mobs who have made death threats to the neighborhood vigilante.
Mark and Dana Michelle Gerstle told friends they do not want to talk publicly about Zimmerman for fear they will be accused of portraying him as a hero – and face a backlash from those who consider he got away with murder.
'They are very grateful to Zimmerman for what he did, but they do not want to get involved,' said a friend, who asked not to be named. Continue reading
Obama as Race Hustler
"There is nothing more painful for me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start to think about robbery and then look around and see it's somebody white and feel relieved."
Jesse Jackson, 1998
Obama continued his attempt to pour gasoline on the Zimmerman verdict with his impromptu musings on the case before the White House press corps yesterday. The cynicism of this attempt to use the Zimmerman verdict as both a decoy from his manifest failings in regard to the economy, Obamacare and other issues, and to whip up the black vote in 2014 is breathtaking. This country does need an honest discussion about race, something that I have never witnessed in my 56 years on this planet, but Obama's deeply poisonous playing of the race card throughout this case for crass political gain makes it likely that I will not see such a discussion while I inhabit this vale of tears.

Saint Thomas More on the Zimmerman Case
Sir Thomas More: You threaten like a dockside bully.
Cromwell: How should I threaten?
Sir Thomas More: Like a minister of state. With justice.
Cromwell: Oh, justice is what you're threatened with.
Sir Thomas More: Then I am not threatened.
Robert Bolt, A Man for all Seasons
Roger Kimball has a good piece of commentary at Pajamas Media citing Saint Thomas More in reference to the Zimmerman case:
That's not stopping the race mongers, of course. For them, the death of Trayvon Martin is an allegory of how America is a racist society. If only they could take a break from their race baiting histrionics to watch an improving film, The Man for All Seasons (1966), for example. A friend, pondering the spectacle of race hatred on view in the aftermath of the Zimmerman trial, sent me these exchanges from the movie:
William Roper: So, now you give the Devil the benefit of law!
Sir Thomas More: Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?
William Roper: Yes, I'd cut down every law in England to do that!
Sir Thomas More: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man's laws, not God's! And if you cut them down, and you're just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake!
Margaret More: Father, that man's bad.
Sir Thomas More: There's no law against that.
William Roper: There is: God's law.
Two Minute Hate
The horrible thing about the Two Minutes Hate was not that one was obliged to act a part, but that it was impossible to avoid joining in. Within thirty seconds any pretence was always unnecessary. A hideous ecstasy of fear and vindictiveness, a desire to kill, to torture, to smash faces in with a sledge hammer, seemed to flow through the whole group of people like an electric current, turning one even against one's will into a grimacing, screaming lunatic. And yet the rage that one felt was an abstract, undirected emotion which could be switched from one object to another like the flame of a blowlamp.
George Orwell, 1984
Ah, if only George Orwell were still around to give us commentary on the collective meltdown, with certain honorable exceptions, Saletan I am looking at you, on most left wing blogs, I guess he wouldn't be surprised at all. Orwell, a man of the Left, noted that in his time Leftists tended to be on the look out for heretics to transform into objects of hate. In our day the objects of Leftist wrath do not even need to be heretics. Thus George Zimmerman, one-quarter black Hispanic, an Obama voter, a man who an FBI investigation cleared of any racial motivation, has became an object of Leftist hate because he touched, accidentally, one of the great Leftist totems in this country: race.
Thomas Sowell, who recently noted that he is old enough to remember when most racial hatred came from whites, explains how a low level investigation of a fairly routine self defense shooting was transformed into a national morality play for the Left:
Legally speaking, Zimmerman has won his freedom. But he can still be sued in a civil case, and he will probably never be safe to live his life in peace, as he could have before this case made him the focus of national attention and orchestrated hate.
More important than the fate of George Zimmerman, however, is the fate of the American justice system and of the public's faith in that system and in their country. People who have increasingly asked, during the lawlessness of the Obama administration, "Is this still America?" may feel some measure of relief.
But the very fact that this case was brought in the first place, in an absence of serious evidence — which became ever more painfully obvious as the prosecution strained to try to come up with anything worthy of a murder trial — will be of limited encouragement as to how long this will remain America.
The political perversion of the criminal-justice system began early and at the top, with the president of the United States. Unlike other public officials who decline to comment on criminal cases that have not yet been tried in court, Barack Obama chose to say, "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon."
It was a clever way to play the race card, as he had done before, when professor Henry Louis Gates of Harvard was arrested.
But it did not stop there. After the local police in Florida found insufficient evidence to ask for Zimmerman to be prosecuted, the Obama administration sent Justice Department investigators to Sanford, Fla., and also used the taxpayers' money to finance local activists who agitated for Zimmerman to be arrested.
Political intervention did not end with the federal government. The city manager in Sanford intervened to prevent the usual police procedures from being followed. Continue reading
Zimmerman Not Guilty
The jury has just returned a verdict of not guilty in the George Zimmerman trial. This is a case that should never been brought and I would have been astonished if any other verdict had been returned.
I have been practicing law for three decades in Illinois and I have never seen anything like the above video when a defendant in a criminal case is represented by counsel. I will defer to any Florida attorney who can indicate if the above video reflects common legal procedure in Florida, but in Illinois whether a defendant in a criminal case is going to testify is not something the defense counsel is going to indicate. The ability to keep the prosecution guessing as to whether the defendant is going to testify is a key advantage of the defense. When a defendant is represented by counsel in Illinois it is assumed that in a criminal case counsel has advised the defendant of his right to testify or keep silent at trial. If a plea bargain is entered into in Illinois in a criminal case then the judge will advise the defendant of all of his rights prior to accepting the plea bargain. Other than that, the time for such admonishments is at arraignment prior to a plea being entered, and certainly not during the trial.
Any input from any Florida criminal defense attorneys among our readers would be appreciated.
Racism, State Power and the Zimmerman Prosecution
After more than three decades at the bar, little shocks me about courts and how they operate. I confess, however, that I am shocked by the George Zimmerman prosecution. First, that it was brought at all with virtually no evidence that could lead to a guilty verdict by any honest jury and, second, the way in which it has been conducted. However, what shocks me as a lawyer does not shock me when I view it as an example of current racial politics in this country. Cornell Law Professor William Jacobson who has been covering the trial at his blog Legal Insurrection, explains:
We also knew that Eric Holder had the DOJ investigate the case, and that the FBI found no evidence that Zimmerman was racist or motivated by racism.
What we didn't know until today was that the DOJ supported some of the anti-Zimmerman rallies, as disclosed by Judicial Watch (which also is helping me with my lawsuit to obtain David Gregory non-prosecution records from D.C.): Judicial Watch announced today that it has obtained documents in response to local, state, and federal records requests revealing that a little-known unit of the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Community Relations Service (CRS), was deployed to Sanford, FL, following the Trayvon Martin shooting to help organize and manage rallies and protests against George Zimmerman.
The way the trial has been conducted is an equal travesty. The prosecution is throwing everything against the wall, including conflicting and inconsistent theories that Trayvon was on the bottom of the fight screaming and alternatively that Trayvon was on top pulling back. Similarly the prosecution creates obsessive distractions such as whether Zimmerman "followed" Martin, even though that is legally irrelevant. We have had the strange spectacle of the prosecution attacking its own police witnesses who had the temerity to believe George Zimmerman's story and find it consistent and credible. The law enforcement world has been turned on its head in this prosecution, because it had to be turned on its head to justify the prosecution.
If you want to understand just how dirty this prosecution case has been, consider one bit of evidence which probably slipped by most viewers. The prosecution elicited testimony from defense gun shot wound forensic expert Vincent DiMaio that he participated in studies of gunshot wounds on live animals (under a federally regulated and sanctioned program in which the animals were under anesthesia). What's the relevance of that? Nothing. Except that the prosecution knew that there were animal owners on the jury, and this was an attempt to poison the jury on something having nothing to do with the guilt or innocence of George Zimmerman.
It's all coming together in this case.
Racial politics supported by State power. Continue reading
Few Things Are More Pathetic Than a Dumb Prosecutor
One of the professional requirements of being an attorney, especially an attorney engaging in litigation, is developing a tough hide when it comes to criticism. Most of my brethren and sistren of the bar develop such hides. Alas, some do not:
Alan M. Dershowitz's Perspective: State Attorney Angela Corey, the prosecutor in the George Zimmerman case, recently called the Dean of Harvard Law School to complain about my criticism of some of her actions.
She was transferred to the Office of Communications and proceeded to engage in a 40-minute rant, during which she threatened to sue Harvard Law School, to try to get me disciplined by the Bar Association and to file charges against me for libel and slander.
She said that because I work for Harvard and am identified as a professor she had the right to sue Harvard.
When the communications official explained to her that I have a right to express my opinion as "a matter of academic freedom," and that Harvard has no control over what I say, she did not seem to understand.
She persisted in her nonstop whining, claiming that she is prohibited from responding to my attacks by the rules of professional responsibility — without mentioning that she has repeatedly held her own press conferences and made public statements throughout her career.
Her beef was that I criticized her for filing a misleading affidavit that willfully omitted all information about the injuries Zimmerman had sustained during the "struggle" it described. She denied that she had any obligation to include in the affidavit truthful material that was favorable to the defense.
She insisted that she is entitled to submit what, in effect, were half truths in an affidavit of probable cause, so long as she subsequently provides the defense with exculpatory evidence.
She should go back to law school, where she will learn that it is never appropriate to submit an affidavit that contains a half truth, because a half truth is regarded by the law as a lie, and anyone who submits an affidavit swears to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Before she submitted the probable cause affidavit, Corey was fully aware that Zimmerman had sustained serious injuries to the front and back of his head. The affidavit said that her investigators "reviewed" reports, statements and "photographs" that purportedly "detail[ed] the following." Continue reading


text: The hostel's location is its best attribute, since you are 2 blocks away from El Zocalo, and you are surrounded by food places, shops, museums, and other historical sites. The building itself where the Hostel is located is impressive, from the moment you enter and see all the shops and restaurants within the building, you feel overwhelmed by its beauty. It has a modern- colonial vibe that I have not seen in any other hotel. The bed was good, and my sheets were changed (upon request) promptly. Value for money this hostel is great. I thought that the hotel had no ambiance, and I think that this is mainly because the only place that you can literally get Wi-Fi is the patio/bar area, therefore, the spot that should be used for socializing and getting to know everyone is used by all guests to use their computer/phones. The hotel staff is a bit snobby, with the exception of some of the female staff. The "all black" uniform that staff members use makes you doubt whether you are talking to the concierge or a security agent. Other areas of development include better ventilation for single rooms, and more information of tours and amenities for tourists.

Hellboy 2: The Golden Army
Hellboy 2: The Golden Army.
- VIDEO: Hellboy 2
Anybody who stumbles out of this film with their hearing still intact and with any coherent idea about what the plot was about has clearly missed the point of Hellboy 2.
No doubt aware of the patchiness of 2004's Hellboy, director Guillermo del Toro ( Blade 2, Pan's Labyrinth, Mimic) has pulled out every conceivable stop, joke and special effect to ensure two things: (1) that his film does not contain a single frame that is either boring or quiet; and (2) the richly-deserved enshrinement of Barry Manilow into the pantheon of pop-cultural greatness.
The film is designed more as an ear-shattering sensory assault than a conventional narrative. Del Toro has ramped up the cheese factor by a factor of 10, pushing comedy into every scene and saturating the film with so many dazzling CG action sequences that it almost qualifies as an animated feature.
Still in the employ of a super-secret US government agency, Hellboy (Ron Perlman) and his oddball team of misfit superheroes - aren't all superheroes misfits? Discuss - wage war on a new wave of impressively rendered evil creatures, including a building-smashing dragon of such exquisite design it seems a shame for HB to kill it.
Shoe-horned in among all the digital dazzle, Hellboy is also having trouble with his goofball of a boss (the great Jeffrey Tambor, from Arrested Development) as well as domestic problems with his flaming girlfriend Liz (Selma Blair). Fortunately, he has his aquatic pal Abe (Doug Jones) to unwind with, usually while drinking, smoking cigars and singing Barry Manilow tunes.
Hellboy is based on the Dark Horse comic, which, of course, will prompt a hard core of diehard fans to engage in lengthy online debates about the adaptation process and whether the film is faithful to the legacy of the character and so forth. Total respect to them all, but Hellboy 2 is a prime example of a film in which such fidelity clearly doesn't matter.
High-concept films with $100million budgets need to tap into a massive non-fan market to succeed, so the broader the appeal the better. No doubt Hellboy fans will be pleased that their hero is being introduced to a wider audience, but any protests that something essential has been lost in translation will be lost amid the cacophony of mainstream audiences revelling in Del Toro's deliriously entertaining slice of blockbuster cheesecake.

Record-Courier staff report
Alex Lavisky delivered for the Akron RubberDucks on Monday.
With Akron knotted in a 2-2 tie with the Trenton Thunder, the Ducks' catcher belted a two-run home run in the top of the 10th inning that titled the game in Akron's favor. For insurance purposes, Justin Toole added an RBI double for Akron to move the score to the eventual final of 5-2 in Trenton at Arm and Hammer Park.
Lavisky is a Lakewood native and played high school at St. Edward's.
The win for Akron was the team's six in its last eight games and keeps them in second place of the Western Division of the Eastern League with a record of 56-41. The Ducks are currently one game back of the Richmond Flying Squirrels (57-40), who come to Akron for a three-game series starting on July 21.
Kent State product Anthony Gallas got things started for Akron on Monday with an RBI single.
The RubberDucks posted another run in the fifth when Lavisky doubled down the left-field line, allowing Tim Fedroff to score.
Eastern League All-Star Joe Colon pitched the first five innings for the Ducks. Reliever Shawn Armstrong, another All-Star earned the win in relief.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/4/2009 (3047 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
You feel, well, invisible.
What's a guy supposed to do?
Ian White turned to his inner Burt Reynolds: facial hair.
That's right, the Toronto Maple Leafs' plucky defenceman, banished to the press box at the start of the 2008-09 season and reaching the nadir of his professional hockey career, decided to embark on what could arguably be considered the most unusual and seemingly innocuous attempt at civil disobedience in NHL history.
He grew a moustache.
"I started growing it at the start of the season somewhat as a sign of protest for getting sat out," White related, from Toronto. "I figure maybe they forgot I was on the team or not available to play. I thought if I grew a moustache maybe they'd find me."
White wasn't kidding. But here's the really weird part: He was, indeed, found. After 11 games in the press box to start the Leafs' season -- and after a pre-season that had new Leafs head coach Ron Wilson experiment with White as a forward -- the Steinbach native was eventually, if not reluctantly, summoned from the pine and returned to the blue-line.
So did a moustache save Ian White's career? We'll guess no. But at least he wasn't so invisible anymore.
"I don't know if that (the moustache) is what worked," White noted, "but they finally gave me an opportunity to play. And I got some good comments. People enjoyed it."
My, how things can change. Just a handful of months ago, White, just 24, was practically a ghost in Toronto. After two seasons establishing himself as an everyday NHL defenceman, the diminutive rearguard thought his days with the Leafs could be over.
"It was very difficult," he conceded. "I didn't quite know at that time what direction my career was going. Obviously, no one wants to sit out, but I just bided my time. I knew I'd get an opportunity sooner or later and made the best of it."
In fact, the phrase "made the best of it," in White's case, could be considered a gross understatement. Not only did the ultimate trier earn back his spot in the lineup, but he was one of the few feel-good stories in an otherwise forgettable (join the club, 2008-09) Leafs season.
White tied his career-high points total (10 goals, 16 assists) and in the process played his 200th NHL game late in the season.
Or as White somewhat ruefully commented, when congratulated by a Toronto assistant coach: "It should be 211." But the milestones didn't stop there. White was nominated by the Leafs for the Bill Masterton Trophy, emblematic of "perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication."
And this week the highest honour in White's still-young career, being named to the Team Canada roster for the upcoming 2009 IIHF World Hockey Championship in Switzerland, a roster that includes the finest young talent in the nation excluded from the Stanley Cup tournament.
The Canucks, who leave Sunday for the tournament, which begins April 24, have a lineup littered with youngsters on defence, with Los Angeles Kings' impressive rookie Drew Doughty, Toronto's Luke Schenn and Nashville's Shea Weber to work alongside relative veterans Dan Hamhuis (Nashville) and Chris Phillips (Ottawa).
Trust us, after a few seasons in Leafville, that's pretty heady company. Up front, Team Canada will be led by Olympic veterans Shane Doan, Martin St. Louis and Dany Heatley, along with Jason Spezza, who was an alternate in Turin. The likes of Shawn Horcoff (Edmonton), Derek Roy (Buffalo), Mike Fisher (Ottawa) and next generation phenom Steven Stamkos (Tampa) will also be in Switzerland, no doubt trying to earn an outside shot at a spot on Canada's Olympic team in 2010.
Regardless, White acknowledges just getting an invitation to wear the Maple Leaf at an international event (White starred for Team Canada's World 2003 junior silver-medal team in Halifax) is well worth a shortened summer.
"It's obviously the world stage," he said, "so it's huge."
It didn't hurt, either, that the guy lobbying hard to Hockey Canada on White's behalf was none other than Leafs GM Brian Burke. Acknowledged White: "When you have someone like that rooting for you, pulling for you, it adds some weight for sure."
So to review: White began the season with his career in limbo. He supposedly wasn't even good enough for the woeful Leafs, if you please. Now he's a Bill Masterton nominee playing on Team Canada. Go figure.
But White, an undersized defenceman who's never been given so much as a scrap in his hockey career, keeps the recent past in perspective.
"It was obviously something I didn't expect," he reasoned, of his benching. "I'd played two-and-a-half years (with the Leafs) and I figured I definitely had a spot. I thought I'd earned it. But that wasn't the case, so I had to reprove myself. Nothing wrong with having to earn it."
Nothing wrong, indeed.
And to think it all began with a moustache.
But, breaking news: Hair today, gone tomorrow.
"It's probably going to come off sometime (before the world championship)," White revealed in a Free Press exclusive. "It might just be a seasonal thing. A legacy. Who knows."
Somewhere, Wendel Clark is smiling.

Borussia Dortmund have ruled out a move for South Korean Ryu Seung-Woo
Borussia Dortmund have confirmed that they are not about to sign South Korean player Ryu Seung-Woo.
By Thomas Zocher
Last Updated: 26/07/13 11:39am
The Chung-Ang University attacker has been linked with the German side for most of the summer but Dortmund general manager Michael Zorc said that a deal will not be happening.
Speaking to Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper, Zorc said: "This transfer is off. The basic parameters of a deal are too adverse.
"Ryu Seung-Woo will not be joining our club."
Seung-Woo impressed a number of clubs during the FIFA Under-20 World Cup and Zorc is prepared to now look elsewhere in order to strengthen.
He added: "The transfer window is open until the end of August. We will keep our eyes open until then and consider further deals if possible."

RULE BREAKING, jealousy and squabbling are among the pitfalls of parents undertaking the school run in Lancashire, according to a new survey.
Research by Auto Trader reveals 29 per cent admit to parking illegally, 16 per cent have arguments with other parents and more than half of parents argue with their kids at least once a week during the school run.
The report highlights that nearly two-thirds of parents feel stressed on the school run, many naming it the most stressful part of their week.
Competition is rife amongst parents, as half of those surveyed are envious of other parents' cars and nearly a quarter admit they are embarrassed about the car they own, claiming it is ugly or too old.

The preparation of a Joint Core Strategy (JCS) for three local planning authorities is a gargantuan undertaking. What happens then when a legal challenge is successfully made to part of the JCS, on the basis that the underpinning Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is not up to scratch?
This is something which the Administrative Court recently had to deal with in the case of Heard v Broadland and South Norfolk District Councils and Norwich City Council (2012) when a number of challenges were made to parts of the recently-adopted JCS.
The challenge relating to the section of the SEA which dealt with a proposed area of growth within Broadland District Council's administrative area was upheld by Mr Justice Ouseley. He considered that the SEA had not grappled with why the preferred option was being chosen. There was no real analysis of the preferred option and "selected reasonable alternatives".
In a nutshell, reasons had not been given for the selection of the preferred option and why no other alternatives were selected for assessment. The Judge held that this was a breach of the Strategic Environmental Assessment Directive (2001/42/EC).
What happens now
Although no relief was granted on the first hearing, the parties went back to court several weeks later when the Judge remitted part of the JCS on certain issues in the Broadland growth area to just before submission stage. The remainder of the JCS appears to be unaffected.
The process will need a certain level of co-operation between the parties as thought will need to be given how the remitted parts of the JCS need to be handled. Will there be any knock-on effects on other parts of the JCS? This is possible and it is understood that around 50 pages of the JCS are affected.
The duties to co-operate and work collaboratively
Although primarily of local interest, the case illustrates the hiccups that are increasingly likely to affect plan-making in the future as local planning authorities tackle their duty to co-operate at section110 of the Localism Act 2012, and take into account the requirements set out in the NPPF to "work collaboratively" with other bodies to ensure co-ordination of strategic priorities across local boundaries.
This appears to be exactly what the three local authorities in this case were attempting to do. It will be instructive to see what impact there will be on development proposals not only in the Broadland area of the affected JCS but potentially more widely, as the remitted part is being reconsidered.

iFixit now tears down the Surface Pro 2 to get a peek at its innards and conclude just how easy it is to repair the tablet and change its battery.
The results are surprising. The Surface Pro 2 scores the lowest we have ever seen a device rank - 1 out of 10. That means it's almost impossible to repair and upgrage.
There are a few reasons for this. While its battery isn't soldered to the mainboard, but it's still very hard to remove and replace it. Just opening the device is extremely hard - Microsoft is not using extensive amounts of glue like others (cough, Apple), but having a whopping 90 screws holding the Surface Pro 2 together does not make it any easier.
The fused glass panel and LCD are a common misstep that makes repairs most costly as your front breaks you have to replace them both. Finally, the long and tedious process of opening the tablet hides huge risks that you tear one of four ribbon cables connecting the display.
The Surface Pro 2 is thus not a device you can easily repair. If you happen to get one, make sure to handle it with great care.

Have Cat Questions? Ask a Cat Vet Online.
HI Ashley,
You cannot get Toxoplasmosis from a cat scratch. Chances are much higher that you will become infected with toxo from eating undercooked meat than from your cat. Toxo is notoriously hard to identify on a fecal sample without sending the sample to a lab for expert evaluation, so unless your cat has a definitive diagnosis from a pathologist, you can relax a little bit. Every cat does not carry toxo, it is something that is over publicized when it comes to pregnancy and cat ownership. If your cat does happen to be infected or a carrier, you would need to be careful about cleaning the litterbox. However, it takes 48 hours from the time the cysts are shed in a bowel movement for them to become harmful to humans (and this can only happen if you get fecal material in your mouth). You or another member of your family should scoop the litter box at least once daily, twice daily if it makes you feel better. Practice good hygiene, wash your hands regularly especially after cleaning the litter box.
See the following website for more information on Toxoplasmosis. It is not necessary to get rid of your cat, or to toss kitty outside.
If your kitty is having diarrhea or some other symptom that has you concerned about intestinal parasites, he should see a vet for a fecal panel if he has not already. Intestinal parasites are pretty common in young cats, and they require safe prescription drugs that you can only get from a veterinarian. There are many other parasites that are more common and more likely to be infecting your kitty, and if you do not practice good hygiene, can be transmissible to humans.
I hope that this information eases you concerns and makes you feel better. Let me know if I can be of further assistance, best wishes for a safe and happy pregnancy. If this has been helpful, please hit the green accept button.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
Someone had a problem with 8 year old procs which started to fail after moving to SQL Server 2008Of course he should have used ints, but let's see what happens
Run this code on SQL Server 2005 and 2000
No problem right?
Run just this part on SQL 2008
Change the -1 to 1
Run this
That failsLet's make it numeric(3,0)
No problem, that runs fine. So is this a bug because of implicit conversion to tinyint which can't hold negative values?
Posted to Connect by "Forch":
Unfortunately this bug is still not fixed. Moreover, run this on SQL Server 2008:
select sql_variant_property(cast(0 as sql_variant),'BaseType')
and check if the result is... int :-) Where is the tinyint???
And of course tinyint and int are both lower in the type precedence than numeric... How the hell can I recommend SQL Server 2008 to my customers? ;-)
This problem is fixed in SQL Server 2008 SP1 CU1 and in SQL Server 2008 RTM CU4 (see KB 961695).
select count(jwmasterforlist.transid) from jwmasterforlist, jwworkorderform
is giving
Msg 8115, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type int.
i want this problem to be solved so that my programs can work smoothly how to convert the result to bigint for count. i tried all combination but same results are coming that count is not a function. if anyone has a result please send it to firstname.lastname@example.com which is our development teams email ID. you can visit our website to www.mainaims.com to know more about our programs which are being executed at a very large scale.
If any one has any queries then we can clarify the same on it.
other results do not have much problem because they can be converted. in case of count function it is not so. we have large applications built on this function and cannot be changed.

Vanity Fair Is The Real Debbie Downer
One of our favorite Saturday Night Live characters ever was Debbie Downer, played beautifully by Rachel Dratch. New York asked her how she felt about being left out of Vanity Fair's "Women in Comedy" story and she replied, "Dude, that was a dark day. I was like, 'Oh, there's everyone I worked with.'" Honestly, we didn't realize Rachel was left out at the time (we were too busy being excited that Amy Sedaris was included!), but now we're pissed. Is Jezebel right in pointing out that Vanity Fair only considers you funny enough for a feature if you're traditionally pretty too? Now that is a downer. [New York]

Johnson, Samuel: Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia, v2, 23 May 2007
Samuel Johnson (17091784)
Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia
First published 1759
I've added a picture and a TOC.
Those who liked Vathek may well also like Dr Johnson's 'Rasselas'. Both novels have some orientalism. To my mind, Rasselas has the most beautiful prose and a restrained melancholy.
Don't be put off by the fact that there are 49 chapters. Most of them are very short - the work is only 180 pages in the Reader's small font.
Plot summary
(taken from Wikipedia)
The History of Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia, often abbreviated to Rasselas, is a novella by Samuel Johnson. He wrote the piece in January 1759 to help support his seriously ill mother, although the money he made was ultimately spent on her funeral (she had died whilst Johnson was writing).
Johnson was influenced by the vogue for exotic locations. He had translated A Voyage to Abyssinia by Jeronimo Lobo in 1735 and used it as the basis for what was described as a "philosophical romance".
While the story is thematically similar to Candide by Voltaire - both concern young men traveling in the company of honored teachers, encountering and examining human suffering in an attempt to determine the root of happiness - their root concerns are distinctly different. While Voltaire was very directly satirizing the widely-read philosophical work by Gottfried Leibniz, particularly the Theodicee, in which Leibniz asserts that the world, no matter how we may perceive it, is necessarily the "best of all possible worlds," Rasselas is an outgrowth of Johnson's struggle with depression, particularly at the time of his mother's death. The question Rasselas confronts most directly is whether or not humanity is essentially capable of attaining happiness. Writing as a devout Christian as well, Johnson makes through his characters no blanket attacks on the viability of a religious response to this question (Voltaire does so), and while the story is in places light and humorous, it is not a piece of satire.
The plot concerns Rasselas, son of the King of Abyssinia (modern day Ethiopia), who leaves his home in company with his sister, Nekayah, and a philosopher, Imlac, to seek adventure. His observation of other kinds of people eventually leads to the conclusion that there is no easy path to happiness, and he returns to Abissinia along with his companions. One of the more famous quotations from this story is of the character Imlac:
"That the dead are seen no more ... I will not undertake to maintain, against the concurrent and unvaried testimony of all ages and all nations. There is no people, rude or learned, among whom apparitions of the dead are not related and believed. This opinion, which perhaps prevails as far as human nature is diffused, could become universal only by its truth; those that never heard of one another would not have agreed in a tale which nothing but experience can make credible. That it is doubted by single cavillers can very little weaken the general evidence; and some who deny it with their tongues confess it by their fears"

Music in the Castle
The Kennedys
Irresistible" -Rolling Stone
"More hooks than Marilyn Monroe's closet" -Chicago Sun-Times
The Banqueting Hall of the keep provides the magical setting again for the latest in our Music in the Castle series of concerts. The Kennedys albums have been largely unrecognised in the UK, except by a devoted coterie who scan the Internet for import-only releases. That will change this year as the duo prepare to release "Closer Than You Know", their first fully promoted UK album since "Life is Large" was a radio staple some years back.
After a recent barnstorming tour with Nanci Griffith (they produced Griffith's latest CD, "Intersection"), the duo are ready to strike out on their own, this time with an eye to the UK side of the pond. Their live show is honed from literally thousands of Stateside one-nighters, and their new songs have a quality, inherent in Maura's voice, that is both soothing and urgent.
The Bar will be open from 6.30 and TKB will be doing the catering. As ever, another great night of music.

GLAMORGAN seamer James Harris checked Australia A's progress with a six-wicket haul to give the England Lions a share of the first-day honours in the second unofficial Test at Edgbaston.
Harris, who took only one wicket in last week's drawn match at Old Trafford, was the pick of the seam attack taking six for 102 - his best return since he claimed a career-best seven for 66 in his second first-class match against Gloucestershire in May 2007.
Harris, who missed the first two months of the season with a groin injury, recovered well after Liam Davis had taken three fours from his first two overs.
Kent off-spinner James Tredwell also chipped in with three wickets as the Lions fought back well to restrict the Australians to 308 for nine.
Harris took the important wicket of Phil Hughes who was one of three players, all with Test experience, to pass 50 for the tourists.
Hughes, drafted into Australia's squad to replace the injured Peter Forrest after a productive stint in county cricket with Worcestershire, made a fluent 51 and shared a third-wicket stand of 93 with his captain Ed Cowan but then mistimed a drive off Harris to Joe Root at cover.
Harris returned after tea to bowl Joe Burns and then Nathan Coulter-Nile with length deliveries to claim the ninth five-wicket haul of his career.
Tredwell got early turn and bounce from a pitch that had been seamer-friendly when it was used for Warwickshire's CB40 match against Kent the night before and took three wickets either side of tea including Cowan.
The left-handed opener, who had a brief stint with Gloucestershire last month to prepare for this tour, looked compact and well-organised in his 73, made from 166 ball with seven fours and top-edged six off Harris.
But Cowan was clearly unhappy when umpire Neil Mallender gave him out lbw sweeping at Tredwell and he shook his head on his way back to the pavilion.
Tredwell struck again with his first ball after tea when Tom Cooper edged one that turned to wicketkeeper Craig Kieswetter and the same combination accounted for Mitchell Johnson, one of five Test caps in a strong Australia A side.
Warwickshire seamer Chris Woakes was unlucky not to take a wicket on his home ground during a testing afternoon spell in which he conceded only 12 runs in nine overs and had Burns dropped by Samit Patel at second slip.
Patel also dropped Tim Paine in the slips off Tredwell on four, a reprieve which allowed the Australian wicketkeeper to complete a busy 69-ball 50 before he was caught behind fanning down the legside at Harris.

Criminal Law
Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
Hello, thank you so much.
Yes, I think so. I received a mail from the company and they requested me to pay $500 fine for the shoplifting damages. I paid it right away online, and have the receipt. Do you think this will help me at the court?
The police officer said since it was my first time, I would get no time in jail, have a public defender, and there will no record left if I don't get in trouble for the next 6 months. But I'm not sure if I should still hire a lawyer. Some say shoplifting is common and not considered so seriously compared to other cases, so there would be no time. but I'm just very concerned and nervous since this has never happened before, and I must leave the country on June 1st.
Thank you so much
Thank you so much for your detailed answers.
I have just a few more questions:
do you think I should hire an attorney for the court on the 31st?
Also, I'm an international student - should I bring all the documents that certify my enrollment at the university? (ID, passport, I-20, school letter, etc) because I heard non-citizens may have to attend the court several times. and since that's not possible for me, leaving on June1st, could you inform me what I can do about this?
I'm coming back to the states in the beginning of September. If the court requires me to come back, do you think it's possible to set the date in September? do you think that's too late? it's absolutely not possible for me to come back to the States before that..
Also, when I appear at the court on the 31st, am I going to have a time to talk with PD before the court hearing starts?
Finally, you said: "Also, if you are under any type of supervision, you need to make sure the court knows and gives you permission to leave the country." Does it mean that is there any possibility that the court might not let me leave the country on June 1st? do they have the authority to do so?
Again, thank you so much for everything. I will definitely follow up with the best rating!!

I'm pretty fun loving, I love both intelligent conversation and idle chit chat and I love sports. Basketball's my one true love in that category though, but I like to nerd out and read a good comic every once in a while. I'm really friendly, easy to approach and I don't ever judge. Just looking for a cool person to kick it with, so let me know when you wanna talk and I'll give you my number. Don't be shy!
I'm a big kid at heart so I still love a few cartoons. Rick and Morty and Archer are two of my favorites! I spend time reading a lot, mix my nerdy nature into it and as a direct result I love reading mangas and tons of comics as well. More of a DC guy than a Marvel guy though. I also enjoy mystery novels quite a bit!
I like watching Netflix original series like jessica Jones and daredevil, but I also enjoy a little discovery channel to help inspire my next adventure. (Travel network is my second love if all things nerdy were my first!)

Institutions Of The New Financial Architecture:Hedge Funds
Crucial institutions of the new "financial superstructure" have lately determined functioning and evaluation of financial flows in an unscrupulous manner. The established domination of the New Wall Street system was not just a dominant strategic idea aimed at facing problems of the American economy, but was rather directed towards simultaneous gaining of enormous profits of selected institutions and "sophisticated" individuals, i.e. maintaining the hegemony of American "capitalism". "New participants, new practices and new dynamics" inaugurated debt, imposed leverage and leisurely redirected responsibility. The dominant theoretical hypothesis of the efficient market has not withstood the trial of time. Unprecedented expansion of the balance sheet is the result of participation of investment managers in the activities of the speculative bubble. Speculative activities of hedge funds - the so-call big players - have had negative consequences to the market liquidity again. Intentional inadequate regulation of hedge funds, followed by extremely aggressive strategies, seems to represent an institutional model in the existing risky environment. Otherwise, the purpose of existence of highly leveraged institutions will be lost by abolishing the constructed model.

Much of the AV05 range & almost every kind of shampoo does this and just about every kind of shampoo makes me feel like chain...read more-smoking an entire pack of cigarettes to rid my hair of the chemical fruit-stench! I bought two bottles each of the Extra Volume shampoo and conditioner earlier this week and was somewhat nervous at the words "improved scent" on the label. Fortunately, the scent didn't seem to have changed substantially- it was perhaps a bit lighter and sweeter than before. Definitely stirred-up memories of my teenaged sisters using this when I was little. My hair is fine but not terribly limp and prone to tangling. The shampoo cleans thoroughly. Some have complained that it is overly "stripping" or drying to the hair. They may have a point but I would want to ask if they are washing their hair daily, which isn't a good practice- even with the mildest, most gentle shampoo you can find. I have to wonder if a lot of people's objections to it arise from it's being so inexpensive- here in my neck of the woods, more often than not, it's less than a dollar! Our local Fred Meyer sells it for .89! I had a coupon for a dollar off of any four bottles of shampoo or conditioner, making each bottle only .64cents! I suppose some people would be inclined not to trust something that's inexpensive. I took a star off because the few small doubts I have- the chemical surfactant, the possibility that it may strip colour, and the few fly-aways when it's humid MIGHT warrant a slightly less than perfect score. — 3 years, 11 months agograsshopper_625 | 1 reviews
ClassicA nice, clean-smelling shampoo to use every few days if you want to remove some extra build-up. Everyday use would make hair feel too dry. — 6 years agoKirby | 108 reviews
Affordable, smells great, feels greatThis is one of the only shampoos I use on my hair. Your hair will always smell fabulous and clean with this shampoo. It can leave your scalp dry but that is always the case if you over wash. Overall I'd say this is the best bang for your buck that'll make you turn heads. The scent is amazing! — 6 years, 10 months agoqueenglitt | 9 reviews

Just OkayI tried this in the Lavender and Chamomille version and liked the shampoo but didn't like the scent. A little too overpowering. — 8 years agoKellyw40 | 37 reviews
Best Shampoo EVER!I have tried everything and these VO5 shampoos are the absolute best. You can actually take any of the VO5 shampoo and conditioner products and these are the only ones that got me to buy their products again and again. It truly does everything and more. — 8 years, 3 months agoLuciaonly | 9 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This

1 peck (12 1/2 lbs.) green tomatoes, cored
12 large onions
2 Tbsp. noniodized salt
2 qts. vinegar
4 lbs. brown sugar
2 Tbsp. celery seed
2 Tbsp. mustard seed
2 Tbsp. allspice
Grind tomatoes and onions. Add salt. Let mixture stand overnight in a cloth bag to drain. Next day, mix remaining ingredients with tomatoes and onions. Bring mixture to boil and boil gently for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and seal in sterile jars. Process 10 minutes in boiling water bath. Makes 12 pints relish.
1 c. white sugar
1/2 c. shortening
1 egg
1 tsp. lemon extract
1/2 c. shredded carrots
1/2 c. raisins
2 c. flour

Have you tried this method? Wash dirt off tomatoes and wipe dry with paper towels. Put tomatoes in resealable plastic bags, remove excess air, seal and freeze. There is no need to peel the tomatoes as the skins will slip right off if you run them under hot water when you are ready to use them, or you can just let them defrost and slip the skins off. You can place tomatoes on a cookie sheet and freeze them before putting them into the plastic bag. This step can help prevent them from sticking together in the freezer bag.

The South Isles of Aran
by Oliver J. Burke
Publisher: Kegan Paul, Trench & Co. 1887

Bruce Hoffman, veterinarian and president of Animal Profiling International, provides insight into the development of a Persistently Infected (PI) animal carrying the BVD virus. A PI can only be created during the first trimester of pregnancy. During this period, the fetus is forming its immune system. If the BVD virus is present, the fetus adopts the virus as a normal part of its system instead of fighting it. The PI calf is then born shedding the BVD virus via mucus, urine and feces. The virus can infect other calves and cows in the area.
It is important for producers to implement a PI testing and surveillance plan if the herd is a high-risk herd. Identifying PIs is an important step to eradicate BVD from your herd.
While there is no cure for a PI, there are ways to manage a PI in your herd. The animal can be salvaged for beef because the BVD virus does not infect humans. However, since the PI can infect other cattle, it should be separated by a minimum of 10 feet and not share feed or water with other cattle. Under no circumstances should the PI be marketed.
For more information about BVD identification and management, please contact Dr. Bruce Hoffman at: firstname.lastname@example.com.

About the Book
the Art of 2657 Productions. . . is a collection of artwork used for most of the self-released CDs under the 2657 Productions "label."
2657 Productions is an avenue for me to put together my love for music, drawing, computers, words, friends. . . a whole bunch of stuff, basically. . . into convenient little CD packages that I get to share with a really small audience.
Why the name? A lot of the stuff here is from when I lived in the house pictured on the cover of this book. We always called it "the back house." The address? 2657 Foothill Road. Hence the excitingly original name for the label. That, and it was G'pa's home. . . and he was a big inspiration to me in terms of art and music.
A lot of stuff happened in the back house at 2657. Friends would come over and make music. We had impromptu concerts. I got to blast my music as loud as I liked. I filled many little books with scribbles and doodles. I started to teach myself graphic design on my bootlegged copy of Photoshop. This collection is just a sample of that output.

Finding a natural solution
Tea Tree to the Rescue
As a good sister, I went to cheer on my brother during his first triathlon this weekend. I have to tell you, it was really exciting to see people of all ages and ability levels just going for it. I loved the spirit of healthy competition and the rush of shouting for the athletes. My sister and I were in awe of some of the space-age gear. But after a fantastic morning, I went home with dozens of insect bites. Eh.
Flash forward halfway through the week to me, still itching, but trying to be moderately socially accepatable at work. It's annoying to be pitching ideas, only to stop and explain that, really, I'm not usually this squirmy, it's just that, well, I went to this sporting event ...
Tea tree oil helps, but it does have an overwhelming aroma. To fix my problem, I added several drops (10-ish) of Aura Cacia tea tree oil to a spritzer bottle filled with water. After I get out of the shower, I spritz the bites with the tea tree spray. It's like magic. Give it a try!

Hello all,
I have been reading the posts for a few days & it has been very helpful. I have done all sorts of pain pills but never thought I was an addict cause I never touched coke, or shot dope, or did meth but boy was I wrong. My main combo was vic"s & somas. Another stereotype I had, I held down a good paying job, owned a home @ 26, drove a nice car, was into martial arts, & worked out 6 days a week. Nobody really knew of my problem, on the outside it all appeared good. It wasn't, I was popping 30 Vic's a day & 20 somas a day. This has been going on for close to 15 years, there were times I was clean for 6 months, maybe a year the most but always went back. I took other stuff when I ran out, morphine, codeine, flex's, Molly's, clearly I am an addict. Still I carried on, found the girl of my dreams, she moved after a year & I was on top of the world, I never used around her, until she found a bunch of pill outlets on my computer that I was ordering from & she was moved out within the day. I was stunned. I took 50 somas, 25 Vic's & my father found me on my kitchen floor. I was rushed to the ER & somehow lived. Now the cat is out of the bag, my mother flew in from out of state, they took me to a NA meeting, I'm tapering off, I handed everything over to my father & I'm down to 4 & 4 a day. I don't want to go into detox or rehab because of work, I'm in sales & big part of my salary is commission otherwise I would take the time off.....I feel so lazy, weak, heart has been fluttering, sweats, & I'm heart broken. What next? I'm afraid. I also abused numerous steroids which I also came off about a month ago. Def not helping.

Hang in there buddy. In my very humble opinion, I'd contend to stop all together right now. In my experience, you're prolonging the agony. It's not that much more acute than what you're experiencing now. Take the day off tomorrow or/and Monday and detox over the weekend. If you're in good shape, you'll be fine by day 4. My last go around before I quit a month ago, I was up to 60-70 pills a day and stopped CT. Honestly, I was OK by day 3. I certainly wasn't frolicking in the meadows or doing cartwheels but was able to take my kids to their sports, have friends over etc. I played semi pro hockey and still play at elite levels so completely understand and empathize with your position. Lucky for you, you understand the importance of exercise and likely can get your a** out the door by day 2-3, it'll speed up the process 20 fold. Forget about all the other stuff for now and concentrate on not putting pills in your mouth. You have zero chance with pills, that we know. Your relationship at least has a fighting chance if your pill free. I wish you the very best. If you stop tonight, this time next week, you'll be uber happy.

Thanks for your reply, & you are prob right, but I don't want to stop, I feel empty when I'm sober, I feel alive & talkative when I'm high. & if I do stop, I'll start using steroids & be in the gym 3 hours a day, clearly not a healthy answer. I have read the bible, gone to meetings, I just don't get it.

welcome....you found an amazing place to come! honestly if it wasnt for some of the replys i got i probably would of started using again. its going to be a hard road but trust me its a fight worth fighting. i felt just like you...im sure alot of us have. the pills made me feel the same way. i was a different person on the pills. thought i was on top of the world and could do anything. but i can tell you now my life without them is a million times better. i was so scared that i would never get my life back never be happy or as free spirited as i was on the pills but after the first week things started to look so much better. its 50 days i believe and its weird its actually hard for me to keep track lol you can be the person you want to be and honestly i bet youd like the sober you better. you have to want it tho. if you arnt truely over it you wont stop and things will keep going and you could end up either dead or in jail ( depending on how your getting them) just pointing the obvious. if you need anyone to talk to we all can give you our advice. you may not like what you hear at times but we all want to help you in your fight to recovery. if you need anyone to talk to let me know.

I hear you. I really do. You'll find after some time, and not much time either, that you're just as talkative and more engaged than when your using. I started hating how talkative I'd be when I took pills. Sabotaged so many conversations.
Free yourself from those chains brother. The pills and behavior are unsustainable anyway.

Thanks guys, your words help, I need to get a support group, the only people I hung out with the last 15 years are also addicts, I don't even know how to act normal. Sometimes I think, screw it, just go out on a high note & never return. Seems easier.

Easier is never better.
You know once you're void of these pills, genuine happiness is profound and possible.
Put the work in brother, it's worth it. Then, unfortunately, you need new friends.
I'm pulling for you. Make today the day those chains come off. My wife and many of her friends' morning sickness during pregnancy was exponentially worse than withdrawal. It's just a few days of discomfort. Not much to pay for freedom. 15 years of dope to a few days of discomfort is a steal.

Again all your words are correct, I have gone CT quite a few times off of 40-50 pills a day, I know all about withdrawal. I went to NA, it's just not clicking for me, any of it. Maybe I'm in the wrong place, I don't know.....

NA certainly doesn't work for me but there are other options.

I love AA and love love love PA (pills anonymous) because you can talk about all of this in PA!
I'm at day 44 and also did CT. It can be done and although it IS going to suck in the beginning, you just have to believe others when they tell you it gets better and if you stay clean and sober there will come a day you will be free and joyous.
Just one day a time for right now and I agree to jump off now while you have the willingness.

Boy! do I hear your pain. No one noticed? One person did - you.
You say you don't have time for recovery, detox , treatment - can't remember all the excuses I used, but they were similar.
"I'll just cut down, I'll taper off, I can stop any time but not right now, cuz I'm busy, or someone might find out"
Just go to detox, start there and life will happen
Right now I am about 11 days drug free and I am fighting for my life here.
Fight for yours, you are worth it!

Oh, those Soma's are bad, bad news. I used to abuse them when I couldn't get opiates. When it was at it's worst, I got into 5 car accidents in less than a years time. I was very lucky I didn't kill anyone but I ended up with two broken ankles, had to have surgery, and three months in a wheelchair.
When I was abusing opiates, I felt sooo good. Like you, talkative, outgoing, etc. But really no good can come of it, you know this already. I think you are at the point where you could go C/T, get it over with. You've been thru it before so at least you know what to expect.
As for AA/NA, it helped me a little in the beginning but it never clicked for me long term and I did try, many times. You know, you can always go to outpatient treatment after work. You know you need the support so you are more than halfway there, make a commitment to give it a good try! You need to talk about how you are feeling and then you get the face to face with others like you.

I just read your post and something really stuck out......Right now I am about 11 days drug free and I am fighting for my life here.
You know that's a choice.It doesn't have to be like that and I get sad when I read those things because they can be easily changed.One or two NA meetings is not going to do it.You need to go there every day,share your pain and get honest....with everyone.That's where your recovery will start.I'm not down playing your 11 days but you have a lot of excuses and few solutions.What will happen is if you don't make a change,the day will come where you will say to yourself,"What the f***,one little pills not going to hurt".Then the cycle repeats itself except this time it will be exponentially worse.
Coming off steroids can cause major depression.I'm an athelete although now my age has certainly been a major player the last two years because I'm pushing 58.I still surf,old school Longboard,work out but with light weights,quit the mountain biking and running because my knees are jello.I had to quit skiing because of my knees also.
You are going to have to go slow with the exercise.You don't have all those synthetics in you.I loved working out on Percocet with half an Adderal.Yeah,it's different now but I still have some fantastic workout at the gym and it does release the endorphins you need.I'll bump up a thread on what's happening to you.It would take too much time to explain it.

AA/NA isn't for everyone..but this is what I tell them. You don't know until you know. And you can't know by going once or twice. Or even a couple of weeks.
Work the steps with a sponsor and then you get to have an opinion.
Sorry, just the way I feel. Too many excuses equals relapse. You have to be willing to do whatever, WHATEVER it takes. Period. Keep driving the bus and you'll continue to be all alone, fighting a disease that you can't cure.
You so deserve the help that's out there.

Although I'm a pragmastic,I know NA and AA aren't for everyone.As Lisa stated,they are at least free and some types of these programs are NOT free.
Therapy and CBT cost money and most addicts coming in don't exactly have a lot.Sometimes you just have to leave your pride and ego outside the door and just listen.For me,the program is the really about the message and not about all the myriads of personalities.There are some f***ed up people in the program and I can't tell you how many times I've been burned.
It's like I don't loan money because that suggest you're going to be paid back.If I have any extra cash,I consider it a gift.
Because it doesn't click with you immediately maybe try listening with different expectation's or even writing down why you don't like it.
Bottom line.....your way is not working.It might be time for a change.

I'm being irresponsible in saying NA doesn't work for me. You're right, I never gave it a good enough chance and it works for countless addicts and many of my own friends. I decided to go another route albeit similar, just rather hide my identity in my city.
Either way, you can't wait around to get better, you have to be proactive and diligent in your recovery no matter what path you take.

I completly understand all your saying!!! Im 70 days clean today....talk about life thro clean eyes!! Its sooo much better. And myself as well felt like i was more fun, talkative, deff entergetic when i used pills. And when i started outpatient treatment , i also started suboxene clinic. Which i am blessed for. I have nooo cravings and when i have a trigger, it helps. And when i first started the NA fellowship...i thought, yeep, not for me. But i had to go bc of my treatment. Now, i want and love to go. You have soooo many options on what you can do. And ur not going to quict til your ready. Your enviorment and friends has to b healthy. Find a sponser. Give drugs up for 24 hrs. Go to a meeting and get a white key chain, it helps. Get numberss for sober support. Go get coffee w them. Talk to pple, tell them your story. Get a NA book. It helped me sooo much. You can download it for free online. And, alcohol is a drug!!! Dont change a pill for a drink or a joint. Im just trying to tell you what hhelped me. Give NA a chance. It teaches you to love you and life wo drugd. I promise, you have nothing to loose by trying. Only a new life to gain. Go to a meeting everyday for 2 wks, get numbers and it will happn. Dont be afraid to ask!! Were all there for the same reason, and we love you. 13 years of drugs, 70 days clean. Im 26. My life is just starting

I had that fog too and felt very apathetic until a few days ago (im at day 21). I felt no emotion except sorry for myself but it has faded. I am also noticing more creativity and my sharpness/cleverness coming back. U got this because if u dont then the pills will have u. I guarantee u that u r not performing at your peak mentally,socially,physically, even sexually on opiates. Once u get to the point where u realize this (for me it was around 18 days clean) then u will be grateful u kicked that BS.
