The mission of United Gastroenterologists is to improve the health of our community by setting the standard of excellence in patient care.
Dr. Thomas Eastman began a solo Gastroenterology practice based in Fallbrook, CA over 25 years ago. In 2002, Dr. John Hong joined Dr. Thomas Eastman. The decision was made to establish an independent private practice medical corporation, Temecula Valley Digestive Disease Consultants (TVDDC). The practice started out with three employees and one desktop computer serving the communities of Fallbrook and Temecula. From its conception, TVDDC is committed to providing the highest level of quality care by serving our patients with the utmost compassion.
Over the years TVDDC has continued to expand as a regional GI referral practice for Southwest Riverside County and North San Diego County. In 2005, the practice opened up the Temecula Valley Endoscopy Center (TVEC), a state licensed, Medicare certified, AAAHC (Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care) Ambulatory Surgery Center. Over 30,000 procedures have been successfully performed since.
Over the past several years the practice has also added: the GI Imaging Center (CT Enterography, CT Colonography, Ultrasound) accredited by the American College of Radiology, the Center for Medical Weight Loss, and an Anatomic Pathology Lab accredited by The Joint Commission (National Quality Approval Award).
In 2013, the practice changed its name to United Gastroenterologists (to include 13 Board-Certified Physicians and Advanced Mid-level Practitioners: Dr. Thomas Eastman, Dr. John Hong, Dr. Eunice Rhee, Dr. Songul Atay, Dr. Sirus Farivar, Bryan Sauter PA, Shamyne Dumouchel NP, Natalia Morris PA and Denise Sherk NP covering 10 practice locations in Orange, San Diego, and Riverside Counties. United Gastroenterologists has over 70 employees who are committed to providing excellent high quality patient care to the residents of Fallbrook, Temecula, Murrieta, Menifee, Lake Elsinore, Sun City, Corona, Huntington Beach, Fountain Valley, Los Alamitos, Long Beach, La Palma, Cerritos and surrounding cities.

Finally, check with the admissions office for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and University of Namibia class registration information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for University of Namibia.
Research demonstrates that college freshman taking a full courseload go on to complete their degrees at a much higher rate than those students who study part-time.

Further, by choosing your major early, you may be able to take some required core classes in a community college, saving both time and tuition fees.
Look at all the schools in your state first, as in-state tuition may be lower for state residents. The course catalog will outline which classes are required for a particular major, and what minimum GPA you'll need to maintain your class standing. Please contact the academic advising staff at the school you are interested in applying to about their specific course registration guidelines.

An item in the Banner-Herald's Sunday police blotter headlined "Two arrested after bar fight ... ," got me thinking. Just imagine how this scene would have played out if the proposed state Senate Bill 308, which would expand the number of places where Georgians could carry weapons, was already state law.
Instead of seeing a relatively minor incident ending in a quick stop at the emergency room, we might have seen somebody fatally shot, an eventual murder trial, and someone else looking at decades in the state penitentiary system - all at what cost to the state?
This piece of legislation is a terrible idea.

One of the hallmarks of Bankia's social action is the involvement of the 14,000 people that make up the company and that make it possible for the bank to leave a social footprint, enabling it to listen to and recognise the causes that concern its staff the most. The company's professionals take part in selecting more than 250 worthy and heartfelt social projects through the Solidarity Network and the "Propose your Project" initiative.
Solidarity Network combines the bank's social action with the ability of its branches to achieve their commercial objectives. Some 450 NGO projects have been supported in more than 150 municipalities, directly benefiting 150,000 people.
The "Propose your Project" initiative is another program aimed at Bankia's staff who volunteer with an NGO. It enables them to submit their charitable initiatives and –depending on the number of votes received from the rest of their colleagues– they receive financial support for the project carried out by their NGO.
The involvement of the bank's staff is also a key element in its volunteering days and other symbolic programs such as "Contigo Dos Pueden Ser Cuatro" (Two can be Four with You), through which the bank matches the value of any donations made by its staff to food banks in Spain, or "Correr con Doble Meta" (Run for a Dual Purpose), in which Bankia converts the number of kilometres run by its professionals in official races into euros.

Wild Child's new track, "Break Bones," is a song that you'll soon find yourself belting out in the car on a lonely, dark drive to nowhere. Most of the album – aptly titled Fools – is due out on October 2 and was written almost entirely about breakups and heartaches.
This song is of the same classification, but instead of moving on, it's about hanging on, even when you shouldn't. "Break bones / we slam phones / scream and yell through the closed doors," starts the first verse and we find ourselves with relatable memory-pains through the chorus: "Maybe you and I will never learn / I hope this fight just never ends."
Sonically, it's not at all depressing. The melodious piano chords give the tune a strong presence right off the first beat and the space before the bridge has us in an anticipatory state of mind, while the drums bring us right to the climactic chorus. The vocals are delicate and sweet and we're left just feeling comforted that these feelings are universal.

New York City
Guest Book
Nichiren Buddhist shrine with the sculpture of Kishimojin holding an infant in her left arm and raising her right hand in a kind of mudra. Wood beautifully decorated in mineral colors and gold. Japan, Edo period, around 1800.
H of case ca. 9 ½ inches.
Paint a bit flaking at top of figure, otherwise very good condition.
Kishimojin, or Kariteimoten originally was a demon who had a thousand children. Still she would eat the children of others. Buddha's teachings converted her. She is a guardian deity of Buddhism, especially of small children. In Nichiren Buddhism she is venerated as guardian deity for easy birth and raising children.
She sometimes is shown as a standing figure, sometimes in the shape of a male demon, more often as a female figure with a baby in her arms and several small children around her. In one of her hands she may hold a pomegranate (symbol of fertility) that Shakyamuni gave her to bite into, if she felt a craving for children's flesh. The male and female, demonic and human shapes sometimes merge, showing her different aspects in one statue.
Several different states of Kishimojin can be found in our listings.

Albert Essien, the group chief executive officer of Ecobank Transnational Incorporated told CNBC Africa on the side-lines of WEF Africa that the theme resonated with Ecobank's vision.
"We have served in bringing economic development in the region so the theme is very appropriate to us as it talks about inclusive growth and creating employment which is what we are doing. We currently have a workforce of 18,000-19,000 employees."
Nigeria has of late been viewed as a prime market by companies in various sectors due to its population advantage.
"We have seen growth in the top line of our business in the country and we are seeking to capitalise on that more as we believe that our business in the country will grow."
"Nigeria is very important to us as it has about 40 per cent of our assets which makes us pay very close attention to Africa's biggest economy."
Essien added that there are great opportunities in Nigeria in areas such as the power, upstream oil and gas, and the retail sectors.
Commenting on the issue of impairment charges of non-performing loans, Essien says that the issue has been dealt with.
(READ MORE: Ecobank takes governance report by Nigeria SEC seriously)
"We have calmed the waters, we are restoring confidence and reaching out to stakeholders, our regulators, customers and staff to assure them that what happened is in the past."
"We are in the thrills of having a new board and there is a committee working on that which is expected to submit names to the annual general meeting in June."
Essien added that, "there is a lot of stability now as [the crisis within the organisation] was no longer featuring in the newspapers anymore. All institutions have their down time, we have survived and have come out stronger."

On future growth prospects, the group chief executive said the company was looking at the Francophone and other parts of sub-Saharan Africa.
"Francophone as a block especially West Africa is a good growth point though it might not be as fast as Nigeria. Ghana also has good growth despite their economic challenges. We also believe that we could grow our subsidiaries in the east and the southern parts of Africa."

South Carolina vs. Oklahoma State - 12/6/14 College Basketball Pick, Odds, and Prediction
Oklahoma State Cowboys (7-0) at South Carolina Gamecocks (4-3)
College Basketball: Saturday, December 6, 2014 at 12:00 pm (Colonial Life Arena)
The Line: South Carolina Gamecocks +2.5 -- Over/Under: 138 See the Latest Odds
The South Carolina Gamecocks and the Oklahoma State Cowboys face off on Saturday in Columbia in SEC vs. Big 12 college basketball action.
The South Carolina Gamecocks are a disappointing 4-3 this season but they are coming off of back-to-back wins. South Carolina is averaging 72.4 points and they are shooting 44.4 percent from the floor while defensively they are allowing 62.4 points and their opponents are shooting 36.4 percent. Sindarius Thornwell leads the Gamecocks 13 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. Duane Notice is averaging 10.6 points, Laimonas Chatkevicius is averaging 10 points and 6.6 rebounds, and Tyrone Johnson is averaging 8.6 points. South Carolina has failed most of their previous tests against the tougher competition,
USA TODAY Sports
The Oklahoma State Cowboys are off to a 7-0 start and they are looking to enter the national rankings. OSU is averaging 77.5 points and they are shooting 47.2 percent including 34.2 percent from beyond the three-point arc while defensively they are allowing 62.4 points and their opponents are shooting 36.4 percent. Phil Forte leads the Cowboys is scoring averaging 19.3 points per game. Le'Bryan Nash is averaging 18.3 points and 6.7 rebounds, Michael Cobbins is averaging 8.5 points and 5.5 rebounds, and Anthony Hickey is averaging 8.4 points. Oklahoma State has played he 276th ranked schedule thus far but it is projected to be 19th ranked once they are done with their Big 12 schedule.
South Carolina is 7-3 against the spread in their last 10 non-conference games, 2-5 against the spread against the Big 12, and 104 against the spread against a team with a winning record. Oklahoma State is 5-2 against the spread following a game that they covered the point spread, 3-14-1 against the spread in their last 18 road games, and 6-1 against the spread against the SEC.
I am expecting a lot of point in this one and for it to be an over type play and with the total at 138 that just confirms it.

This is an anthem about overcoming adversity & negativity. We felt timing wise the title may need some explanation – but the message couldn't be more fitting.
Bombs Around Me is the debut song from our forthcoming new album.
Man On Earth was established in the late 2000's by singer / songwriter Steven Nathan. Soon after completing a number of demos in his home studio, Nathan caught the attention of 8x Grammy winning mixer/producer Ken Lewis (Kanye West, Fall Out Boy, Lenny Kravitz). The two teamed up over a period of time writing and recording material that would lay the foundation for all that was to come.
By 2010 the bands reputation had already begun spreading. On the heels of being scored in an independent film, Man On Earth was rated one of NYC's top live rock bands by the Deli Magazine, had a song featured on the NBC Winter Olympics broadcast, a national TV appearance on Fox's Fearless Music, a mention in TIME Magazine, and won numerous contests and awards. Things really started to line up in Man On Earth's favor.
When FMQB declared the bands song 'All We Want' a "best bet pick", then clear channel picked up the song for their nationally syndicated radio show, it became obvious the world is getting even closer to discovering what has been so steadily building behind the scenes. 'All We Want' also became a staple at all NHL Islanders home games.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Thumpers' started by KeithDommirider, Jul 31, 2007.
What about a better shock for these things? Mine is the '88 US model.
The crash bars are made by Hepco and Becker.
They were not as perfect a fit as I thought they would be and took some persuading to get on.
Once on they were solid although I had to grind a section that was touching the exhaust.
They were ordered for my specific year 1993 and said that year on the package.
Thought they would go on easier. :eek1
Throw up a few more pics!
The guard I ordered are also Hepco Becker. The ad said fits up to '94. My experience with multi item weldments is that the fixturing needs to be very stout, and the part needs to cool before removing it from the positioning fixture. Excess material and time is money, so perfection is rare on aftermarket items. My 25 year old frame may also be suspect. We will see once the guard arrives.
The Plastifix kit was delivered today. I have used other epoxies with mixed results. Trying this for building missing bits.
Came with their catalog, price list, and plastic repair guide - using their products of course. Still very informative
That looks like a good solution to making tabs. I just used auto body filler, then sanded and drilled them out. I'm not sure how they'll hold up, but so far so good.
I've used plastic PVC sprinkler glue in the past to repair my fairings. Makes a permenant bond. Tabs can be made as well. The stuff is cheap and available at any hardware store. Just grove the crack or the area to be repaired apply the glue and leave it alone for 24 hours. After the repair has been made, I use a flexable body filler to smooth out surfaces that are to be painted. Works great.
The Hepco Becker guards were delivered two days ago. My brother said that I should open the packages as they are received. A practice we emphasize at work, incomming inspections, but I get lazy at the house. So it was opened.
I need to eat my words. The guards are produced and finished VERY WELL!
No tool marks were found, crimped ends and formed tubes are flawless
MIG welds are perfect with out spatter or finish grinding
Satin black powder coat
>Smooth, no orange peel as we sometimes receive at work
>100% coverage, no thin spots or hanger shadows with hole IDs painted
Even the 3D sticker is applied straight
Often thought about some of the H + B crashbars for my Dommie but been a bit put off by the price and whether in reality they would actually offer much protection or just fold up ? I guess many people have them just for the rugged look ? ( not a jibe ..I like the look myself!)
I was looking into buying these crash bars also. I have the H & B rear rack, and I was impressed by the quality. But do any of the fairings or major engine parts hit the ground during a drop? I thought just the side panel would hit, and it seems like it would hit with or without the crash bars. My main concern is damaging the fairings because they're impossible to find and a pain in the ass to repair!
The engine guard tubing roughly measures 2mm wall x 20mm OD, so it is pretty stout.
How much protection is offered I guess depends on speed, terrain (rocks, logs, stumps...), and the angle of attack of the obstacle.
Having lowsided and rag dolled the NX250 into the woods at 70 mph, it was 3 months to straighten and fix everything. No guards - not even hand guards
I am fixng this new to me NX650 body ONCE. Items Gathered
I also have this coming my way to protect the rear end.
I like the rear guards/rack combo. Ability to carry more stuff plus protecting the bike is great. Also cheaper than just buying every fairing piece for the bike

Hello there,
I am the owner of a 1991 NX650 Dominator (RD02).
For the longest of time, my carburetor has been giving me an average mileage of 18KM/Litre (now it is 17KM/Litre). A few months back I loaned a carburetor from a friend of mine and saw my mileage jump to 22KM/Litre, with an occasional spike to 24KM/Litre. I had to return the carburetor after a month but with my existing carburetor getting worse and worse with each week, I am now trying to do 1 of 3 things:
1.) Locate a replacement carburetor on eBay (which I have had no luck on)
2.) Ask if anyone knows where to get a brand new RD02 carburetor
3.) Ask if there is a drop-in replacement carburetor
I would really any assistance/guidance on all 3 options, thanks!
I had a hard time finding a replacement carburetor for my NX650 so I bought a carburetor from a 2012 XR650L and put it on. Works like a charm!
Actually I do have the original carburetor if you want it. I replaced it because the pervious owner had put some type of rubber cement or epoxy on the bottom of it. It might still be useable as a whole, or at least the parts would be good.
Did you compare the two carbs? Are the jets and needles the same? Maybe your carb needs just a little cleaning and some overhauling!
There are a number of different carbs depending on whichmarket the bike was originally sold in.
A common place for the carb to wear is the needle screw holder Which is the brass tube with holes drilled in it to allow fuel atomisation that the needle sits in.
The needle wears an oval hole over time.
Is the diaphragm still OK and not punctured or torn?
What are the main and pilot jets?
On the side of the carb will be stamped the model of VE40 you have, you may be able to change some jets and do the carb modifications to make it run better.
I no longer have my NX, but I do have a service manual for the 88-89 model and 15 tooth front sprocket that a fellow inmate kindly sent me for cost of shipping. And now it can be yours. The first one to PM me gets it. All you will be on the hook for is the shipping fee. Sorry folks, but it has been claimed.
Just be aware that the countershaft is different on the 88 compared with the 89.
I just got around to attempting to mount handguards. I have the bolts from the new XR650L, which should be long enough. I compared them to my stock bolts and they are definitely longer. But the bolt that the front brake lever pivots on still is not long enough to go all the way through the handguard. Are the front brake master cylinders THAT different from the NX to the XR? Has anyone else mounted stock XR handguards to their bike? I would have gone with aftermarket, but I have the larger windscreen on and anything else looks like it will hit.
Ok getting ready to pull the trigger on a new carb, which is the best to go with? Sudco or XRonly?
Do a search for the part number: OEM Number: 90114-MN9-771. This is the bolt for the brake lever. Maybe you'll find a supplier that doesn't charge you an arm and a leg for shipping.
Same part for many Hondas.
Nice "new" fairings by the way!

Many thanks for your understanding.
It's not actually full moon until tomorrow night, but we're not far off, and the bright moon above Newcastle is creating an eerie atmosphere this evening.

The IMF released a report early on Tuesday that said Iran's real gross domestic product grew by 7.4 percent, recovering from a recession.
It attributed that growth largely toward oil production recovering after the atomic accord, which saw economic sanctions against Iran lifted in exchange for it limiting its enrichment of uranium.
However, the IMF warned that Iran's domestic banking sector needed reformed. It also warned renewed tensions with the U.S. "could deter investment and trade with Iran and short-circuit the anticipated recovery."
Growth is expected to be 6.6 percent in the calendar year ending March 20, reflecting the rebound in oil production and exports, and stabilize at 4.5 percent "over the medium-term as the recovery broadens," the IMF said.
It also highlighted the government's ability to maintain inflation in single digits and stabilize the foreign exchange market.

Saturday, March 14 already! That's exciting, really, really exciting. Means Monday is my half-way mark, yippeeeeee!
This week has been a hard one. I've been waking up exhausted and it's been a real struggle to keep pushing on and continuing this personal challenge. I've really wanted to give it up, and rather than having fun and finding the 10K hikes easy every day, I've been feeling like it's a heavy burden/obligation to bear.
On Wednesday, I didn't do any hike at all, which sucked but I accepted it.
Thursday I walk/jogged Cottonwood for my 10K, which was a real accomplishment. I don't think I have ever run more than 3K in a row in my entire life. I jogged as much as I could on the way up the trail, but realistically I probably walked more than I jogged. It was really hard. I used every trick I had in my book. Pick a trail feature, run to it, run a few steps farther, then walk. Do it again and again and again. That got old, though. Then I used something from a tv show, 'The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.' Without giving any context from the show, the main character says "You can do anything for 10 seconds. Count to 10, then the next 10 seconds starts." Anyway, I tried it, and that actually helped. Finally, though, I had to break it down to counting each step…walk 12 steps, run 12 steps, walk 15, run 15, 20/20, 30/30. Got up to walk 100, run 100, then started counting back down. That got me up the hill to the half-way mark, the river crossing, where I ecstatically took a break and stretched out a wicked leg cramp in my right leg. The way up was really hard. I really had to fight every step of the way, because there was part of me that, with Every. Damn. Step. kept screaming and whining at me that I should stop, turn around, go back, this is the last step, I don't want to do it anymore, cry, cry, cry, whine whine whine. It was really awful and really darn hard to fight. Which is why I had to count every step. Just try 12 steps of running, Aspen, then you can walk for 12. Think you can make it 30 steps of running? The more running, the more walking you get! That's how it went the whole way up. My body felt heavy, my spirit felt heavy. And forget trying to be present. My mind took any out it could and I just thought to hell with it. If I need to escape mentally in order to get through this physically, so be it. Whatever works. The way back down, though, was almost heavenly. It was downhill most of the way, which made a huge difference apparently. I'm not talking about huge inclines here, I'm talking maybe 1-5% for most of the trail, with one or two steep hills. But man, I felt it going up and I really felt the difference coming down. I jogged most of the way, only had to stop and walk a few times. It took me 1 hr 11 min to go up and 53 min to come down. So the way down was much more pleasant and I feel like I left a lot of the heaviness at the river crossing at the 5K mark (my turnaround point).
Friday was another day where I just feel like I sh*t the bed a little. I don't remember much of what I did during my day, but I was feeling a lot of anxiety, like I had deadlines looming (I can't think what they were) and a lot of worrying about things I "had" to do. That pushed my departure time for the hike way back while I tried to do some of the stuff at home, which meant that I only got a partial hike in before an afternoon appointment. I walked 2 loops, 6k, around the normal loop where I take my dogs, and then headed off, thinking I'd make up the rest after I got back. Anyway, the short story is that I didn't get that last 4k in. I felt pretty ashamed. It wasn't something I consciously decided. I feel like it was something I underhandedly let slide. The urge to lie to myself and on this blog and say that I had done 10K yesterday was really strong. The whiny-excuses voice bubbled up when that didn't work. 'But I had this, and that and blah blah'. The bottom line is that I didn't finish it, and instead of doing that in a conscious way where I made that decision, I just let it happen, let it slide because I really didn't want to admit that I really didn't want to finish that last 4K. Man, that avoidance urge in me is sneaky, really sneaky. Anyway, all I can say is hey, I did 6K and nope, I didn't lie about it. I choose to see that as a small win, even though I didn't hit my daily goal win. Honesty about where I am and what I have and haven't done is really important to me.
Today (Saturday) was a great hike. I feel like it was an actual hike. Went up Widow 300. The way up, though, I went through all the same shit. Anger. Frustration. Whininess. Avoidance. Laziness. Wheedling. Anger again. At one point in my head as I plodded my way up the hill, feet heavy and slow, I imagined myself bursting with screaming, screaming at the top of my lungs. It helped a little actually, but still. I don't understand the…rage that I felt. Rage that it was hard, too hard said a sneaky part of me, and rage that I had to do it when I didn't want to do it. So much like a snotty, sulky child. It's annoying. And I had trouble with Oreo. He ran off into the forest, as usual, but then he started this yelping bark, which he does when he is really excited. I am still learning his barks, though, we've only had him for 1.5 years now. In my experience, that yelping sound means 'mom help, I'm in trouble, I'm hurt' and so I tried to ignore it, but I called and called and he wouldn't come and I got scared, ran down a length of the hill I'd just achingly climbed, and called and called and finally he trotted out of the forest, tongue hanging out panting away as happy as can be. I was almost angry, but I was so relieved that it washed away. I can't even scold him when he finally does come because I don't want to discourage him from that command. Anyway, back up the hill, and that whole loop played out over again, though this time I wasn't as quick to jog back down the hill. Eventually he showed up and he was spent, he could hardly walk up the hill he was panting so hard. He'd obviously found someone to chase in there. Elk? Bear? Cougar? Unknown. I'd guess elk, but he rarely makes those sounds for elk. It's more his rabbit bark, but I doubt it was rabbit. Anyway, we continued up and then I reached a nice view point and I felt like a weight lifted off me. The beautiful vistas seem to really lift my spirits. It's hard to be upset when you're surrounded by the shoulders of the hills and the clouds are blowing by your face. It was pouring rain the whole time, too, but it eased a little for a while as I got up higher and I took off my hood and cap. I like getting an eyeful of the heights when I'm up there and the cap and hood really interfere. Anyways, we kept walking until the 1.5 hr mark (I passed the 5K mark early from the back and forth with Oreo) and then turned around. I saw a road I'd like to find tomorrow and it was a good reminder of how different I feel on hikes that gain a lot of height. The view really does something for me, uplifts my soul. The trees and forest are nice, but I find it easier to be closed into myself and lose myself in my head. But like I said, it's hard to lose myself in my head when my head is surrounded by hills and valleys and clouds and treetops. I like the big picture. I like the far-away perspective. I think it's maybe a metaphor for life, too.
Anyway, I've made it another week (almost) half-way. The proverbial 5K mark of my metaphorical 10K challenge haha. Everything from Monday on is downhill, easier. I hope. I've decided to sign up for an 8-day intensive EMR class, though, so I'm going to have to reassess on March 22 what my plan is for the rest of this challenge. I could postpone it. I could try to make it happen while I take the course (8hrs/day, 5 days/wk, plus hours of homework every night, if it was anything like my most recent OFA-3 first aid course). Probably some other options in there, too but I'm unsure. We'll see what happens.
Until then, enjoy your paths and man, my heart goes out to you if you're in an uphill phase right now. Fight it, one small step at a time, and remember 'this too shall pass.'

There's a poor 84-year-old guy who has been getting bullied by tourists and vandals because his yellow Vauxhall apparently ruins the view of a picturesque street in the Costwolds village of Bibury.
So today, 100 yellow cars were driven through the village in convoy as a show of support for this guy (who has already endured his car being smashed up earlier this year, and is apparently getting a load of hassle online too):
Apparently people in the village have been very supportive though (and the convoy was oversubscribed several times over). And this little bit of the story made me laugh:
I had to put up with a roomie with one of these.
Presented as it is Mary Kay Cosmetics pink. Roomie's car was a Pontiac Grand Am, insulted by the paint application. The color saturation here is mild. You could see that luminous pink bastard coming for miles!
My car is yellow, I'd definitely have signed up for this!
Because you're always playing yellow car.
Parker McCombe is a merry fellow! Right and true his friendship is, and his car is yellow!
Yes!! I really like this rhyme anders!!
I was away with my best friend and a large group of our pub friends from the bar I dj and drank in since i was 16, they're all aged from 30 to 67, and as I never really drink now, I've spent hardly any time with them for the past 6 or 7 years and I was truly humbled by how they feel about me as a friend despite barely ever seeing them in so long apart from and occasional chat or hello. I was just treated like this rhyme by everyone and made me very happy indeed cause I always went out of my way to be friendly and positive in people's company so it's really nice to have that mirrored back in 28 drunken men's behaviour all this time later
So thank you Anders, you've made me feel even happier on top with that rhyme!!!
Edit: I realize this is super sentimental but if you can't have it in the good news thread where can you have it?!
Hey, no worries! In case you didn't catch it, it's a paraphrase of Tolkien, more specifically about Tom Bombadil.
And you realize this is a comic book forum, right? No thread is on topic and every one of them is in some sense sentimental.
Fair point
By the way, it's really awesome to hear about the recognition your friendship skills have rendered you. I can relate, and I am really happy for you.
Thank you. Sometimes when you aren't seeing that positivity coming back you can forget how important it is so it's important in that way, too.
Being a good friend and a friendly person is definitely worthwhile and it's clear people may not show it at the time, but they definitely don't forget down the road!
*Starts yellow car under hopeful AF rainbow
I feel that I should share this now.
Is this kind of indoctrination allowed on here???
The lemon is in play.
It's some sort of party
It enlivens any car journey...
But is it the Talisker or is it the Talisker Talisker?
A friend of mine with an autistic son has reacted very positively to this. It is not always an easy thing to explain to other children so something like this is great to see.

Not Always Happenstance (Power of the Matchmaker) by Rachael Anderson
2016ContemporaryRomance February 11, 2016 admin
From the Power of the Matchmaker series
Lani has lived in Hana, Hawaii for five years. She's learned to surf, fish, dive, and manage her grandmother's bed and breakfast. She's also learned to take one day at a time the way it should be taken–relaxed and unrushed, savoring every moment.
But, like a large wave on the brink of breaking, her life is about to crash out of control. A proposal of marriage, a conniving grandmother, a cryptic Asian woman, and a handsome guest, and suddenly everything calm begins to churn, everything clear becomes confused, and all that was normal segues into peculiar.
As Lani struggles against the current to hold her ground, she realizes that she can either continue to fight and eventually lose, or take a take a leap of faith, hold her breath, and ride the wave wherever it takes her.

text: I left the perils of Windows Mobile and have reluctantly joined the ranks of Android. This smartphone game is getting crazy overwhelming so help me out. I've read a lot of people who say root, some who say don't root. Some who say delete apps like Nascar, some who say don't. I'm guessing it's all personal preference. 1. If you were new to Android and just got your first droid phone, what would you do with it? 2. I'm not interested in feeding the creepy Google beast anymore than I need too so I don't want to enter my account and this begs for questions like: - How/where do I get good apps? I am not an app fanatic so if the choice is limited by my unwillingness to link to the Google "Mothership" then fine. - How do I synch my excel sheet of contacts w/out google? Is that even possible? 3. How do I make the HTC contacts app "People" allow me to enter contact data via landscape mode? I mean, I see it is not possible but how can I make it possible? 4. Is Handcent the only app to be able to text in landscape mode? Are there better alternatives? 5. Is the only way to change the lockscreen look by rooting or are there apps that do that? 6. Is there a way to make Google Maps work with the pinch zoom tactic or am I stuck with the + / - onscreen buttons? 7. If I root the phone, does that mean less control on Google's end as far as where my data goes? Thanks.

Las Vegas, NV (PressExposure) September 02, 2008 -- USA Grant Team (http://www.usagrantteam.com) specializes in assisting clients in the impenetrable task of acquiring government and privately donated grant money.
Grants are financial gifts that are given to benefit a certain cause such as equal opportunity and animal welfare, or to promote economic stimulus by educating underprivileged or supporting local small businesses. This grant money exists, yet is not easily acquired. One can research for months seeking a grant that fits their needs, and that they are eligible for, only to be redirected numerous times, or find that they are unable to properly fill out the application.
USA Grant Team has devised a system, working with grantors as well as beneficiaries to bring the true intentions of the money to reality. Many individuals as well as organizations have benefited from grant gifts. Most Americanâs are unaware that these funds exist, or they think that itâs not for them.
Among several others, some of the foundations that offer monetary gifts are Avon, who offers several $5,000 grants to individuals that have made incredible efforts to improve womenâs lives. Youth Service America and Disney have teamed up to offer the Disney MinnieGrants to encourage children age five through fourteen to participate in community volunteer acts. Hasbro Childrenâs Fund offers support to non profit agencies specializing in food pantries, stable child placement agencies, and after school programs for underprivileged minors to help needy children enjoy play and childhood despite troubling circumstances.
Some grateful and deserving recipients of grant monies are the San Diego scientists who were awarded $5 in grants this past June, toward creation of stem cell lines for understanding, diagnosing and treating serious injuries and diseases, and other research. $1.5 million grant was used in Canton, Ohio to set up home visits with parents and preschoolers helping prepare them for kindergarten. Many individuals have started small businesses, renovated existing businesses, used the money toward college education, or fixing up their home.
These are a few of the thousands of financial grants (http://www.usagrantteam.com/products.php) available to deserving citizens and organizations throughout the country. Most major corporations have grant funds in place to give back to the community. They are designed to help individuals or certain causes, and in turn help entire communities.
The task of sorting through the thousands of agencies, and more so the criteria of eligibility is left up to the professionals. The grant writers of USA Grant Team are key players in attaining the unattainable. The services provided by USA grant team are unparalleled in comparison to what is achieved. Itâs not just money that they bring to reality; itâs the dreams that are made possible that are the true gifts.
USA Grant Team (http://www.usagrantteam.com/contact.php) facilitates the dispersing of allocated funds into the hands of those who will benefit most, creating a better world for all of us to live in.

My other half is not good with reading books, and Im having trouble explaing AP to him (He doesnt quite WANT to get it yet).
Is there a somewhere that has made a chart that easily explains the AP and the differences between AP and other parenting styles.
Im finding myself getting increasingly frustrated, as I explained everything weeks before and then yesterday I made a joke about our parents not liking how we arnt going to be punishing our children in the usual sense of the word.
His reply was "OH, our children will be punished! Im not going to let them get away with doing something bad!"
Nothing has sunk in
He still has in his mind 2 years is the cut off for breast feeding (after it just becomes gross) and that they should be well into potty training by then.
I already feel like all of this is going to be a HUGE uphill battle. Ill have mine and his mom, thinking Im going to be raising a spoilt child by allowing co-sleeping, baby wearning, baby led weaning and potty training and not doing any CIO... plus Ill have him confused, not understanding and unwilling to learn... so there will be lots of tension and no doubt conflict.
Id love to show him a chart or something visual that he can plainly see what AP is. Something thats easy to see and understand... and then hopefully discuss.

Meanwhile, We STILL Don't Know What President Obama Was Up To When He Disappeared For A Couple Hours?Tuesday, April 13th, 2010
Where was President Obama, since he wasn't at his daughter's soccer game, and why isn't the press asking?
What's more concerning is that no one can confirm if the Secret Service even accompanied Obama on his adventure. Furthermore, let's look at the elapsed time. If the president left the White House at 9:20AM as reported, according to Mapquest, it takes about sixteen minutes to get from the White House to 40th and Chesapeake NW, bringing his arrival time to the field at 9:36AM or so. But then he would have had to leave the field at the latest at 10:00AM to return to the White House at the documented time of 10:17AM. So he spent about twenty minutes at the game? When did the game end? That time is vague as well.
With all of the technology that people have — iPhones, Blackberries — not one person took a photo of Obama? And the press didn't get a shot of him getting into his vehicle? Obama loves the cameras, and this is what he looks like at his daughter's soccer game.
Even three days later, there are still no pictures of the president from Saturday's game. The USA just disarmed to Russia, Poland's president and 95 others were killed hours before, and there were many international leaders in Washington, D.C. for the nuclear summit set to begin on Monday, April 12.
And we shouldn't raise even more questions on his whereabouts? According to the MSM, the answer is yes.
We still don't know the answer to questions number one: Where was he?
We do know the answer to question number two: They are President Obama's lap and attack dogs.
RNC Chairman Steele: It's Partly RacismMonday, April 5th, 2010
RNC Chairman says the attacks he's receiving are partly racism and that blacks have a smaller margin of error. I'd say that's true for some few people, just as it's true for some small segments who have disliked Obama from the beginning. Mostly though, it's sore-loserism and establishment-ism and power-ism. You know, those "isms" that define Washington, D.C.
Here's the video of the Chairman's comments.
How about this for a theory?
1. Establishment Republicans see their power dwindling and they want to control the money.
2. The Crossroads business was hatched before last week when operatives from within this new money-seeking organization denounced their competition, the RNC–these people are going after the same dollars after all.
3. Republicans angry at Steele for saying the truth, that he's not sure they're ready to take the helm back, decided to gun for his demise.
You know, people are so sick of the Republicans. These guys demonstrated a frustrating inability to enact measures to trim the government's power when they were in power.
I see nearly zero reason to believe that they govern much differently once back in power. For months, they fought the influence of the Tea Party movement and even now, some establishment candidates grit their teeth about this growing movement. They have a vision for Republicans in America–it's big government, big business, big power.
Now, some have seen religion. They are terrified and want to get re-elected. But most who face primary challenges seem offended that they have to go through such lowly politicking to do the job they feel entitled to do.
In addition, those forming the Crossroads group, seem to ignore how this looks to people who now pay attention. It looks like the same old D.C. power plays. It looks like division and pettiness. It looks like the Mitch McConnell-Bush wing of the Republican party doesn't want to let go.
Guess what: they were voted out for a reason.
Now, a person reading this might construe me as some worshipful devoté of the RNC and its leadership. I'm not. I'm just an observer who doesn't believe, for one instant, that this Crossroads group is anything but an organization grown and built to support the Republican D.C. establishment while Chairman Steele is trying to strike the balance between an old and new Republican party.
Many Republicans don't want a new party. They don't want a younger, more diverse and more fiscally conservative party. It does not serve THEM.
They want power. It's naive to think anything else.
So is it racism? Maybe a little bit. But really, it's just Republican politics as usual.
P.S. The Republicans outside the RNC are questioning the judgment of Chairman Steele, right? Well, I question their judgment dividing the leadership during a year when Republicans are sure to win big because the Democrats are even more horrible than Republicans. What sort of wisdom do they have? How smart is it to divide the party on the eve of a big win. Yeah. Typical Republicans: shooting themselves in the feet.
Legislators Legislate. It's What They Do.Friday, March 26th, 2010
When I send a patient for a surgical consult, I expect a surgical answer. A surgeon does surgery. It's what they do. They cut and fix and see the world through the lens of a scalpel. It's not right or wrong. It just is. You don't go to a surgeon to sue a business partner or balance your books or invest your money. You don't go to a surgeon to give you nutritional advice or to solve your relationship trouble. You go to a surgeon for surgery.
I bring up this analogy to explain Congress.
Legislators legislate. They make laws. Their constituents see problems that need solutions. Someone says, "There ought to be a law" and they make a law. Legislators legislate. It's what they do.
In a sense, there is no "small government" Congressman because their whole purpose is to make laws. And laws, by definition, proscribe behavior. Making laws makes the government bigger and more power and more invasive in your life. This is why they are hated.
Laws, by definition, create lawbreakers. That is, until their is a law on the books, it's not a crime to do fill-in-the-blank. Because America is drowning in laws, we're also drowning in criminals. The government, if it were so motivated, has enough legal ammunition to put every American behind bars for something.
So when we hear Representative Paul Ryan praise a Democrat for good parts of the legislation, imagine a surgeon praising another surgeon for his "fine work".
These guys love to make laws. They love the haggling. They love the collegiality. They love sparring. They LOVE the process. It's fun to them. It's like a game.
To some, it IS a game.
Who wins? Who loses? Who bested who? Who out-jousted Representative so-and-so on which morning show. It almost doesn't matter what the law is about, really. It's that it's so damn cool to make a law. And even better, everyone has to do what I say. This is soooo awesome.
When talking to a surgeon friend of mine, he was lamenting the hours and the Medicaid fee reimbursement. I gloated about my free weekends, good hours and happy patients. He said,"But I get to cut."
So for all the belly-aching you hear from Congressmen, they get to make laws. And laws make your life more constrained, more controlled and less yours. That's the way it goes.
For fellow Americans expecting salvation from a certain party or group, keep in mind that in order to have the freedom and lack of invasive laws, Congressmen will have to work against their essential nature–making laws. Repealing laws is not a high priority with Congress, if you'll notice.
Philosophically, they're belief in the greatness of the individual and the force of that belief will have to outweigh their very human's bent: to impose their will on someone else. Most of us don't have the power bend others to our will. Congress has that power. And the power is heady stuff. That's why there is so many big government Republicans. They wouldn't be working in government if they didn't think government was super fantastically great.
All legislators are not to be trusted. Their role is antithetical to freedom. It just is. That's why there are checks and balances and separation of power, etc. That's why there are elections.
With legislators spending all their time in Washington, D.C. (Nancy Pelosi loves it that way), they are distant from their constituents, their districts and their states. Their brains marinate in the D.C. power juice and they forget why they're in DC. Or rather, their mission shifts to pleasing their party masters, big donors, lobbyists, etc. Those people pay the bills, after all.
The only solution is to stick on a Congress person like your life depends on it because these days, it actually does depend on it. And that's the ultimate problem.
Eventually, the laws get more and more personal, until every aspect of your life is run by the guy who just received your vote.
Vote carefully.

Last season, the Chicago Bulls finished dead last in the NBA in total points (7680), shots made (2843) and field goal percentage (43.2%). It's safe to say that the Bulls needed to add scorers this summer through the draft and/or free agency. The Bulls addressed their scoring needs in a big way, trading up to the 11th pick in the 2014 NBA Draft.
Eleventh overall pick Doug "McBuckets" McDermott is one of college basketball's all-time greatest scorers. During his college career at Creighton, McDermott accumulated 3,150 points, making him the fifth highest scoring player in Division I history. Even more impressive is the way he accomplished this feat. Over his four years at Creighton, he shot an astonishing 55% from the field and 45% from behind the arc. Considering he was considered the primary scoring option for the Blue Jays for three straight seasons by both his team and its opponents, his efficiency is even more impressive.
McDermott is not only a proficient scorer from 20 feet and beyond, but also from the low block. Even though he does not have the optimal size of a true power forward, 25 percent of his total made baskets were scored on the block. McDermott has a well-rounded scoring arsenal that will surely land him playing time in his rookie season.
But the big question for teams and scouts going into the draft was how the rest of his game would translate to the NBA. McDermott does not have anything close to elite level size or athleticism. He struggled against bigger (NBA size) defenders throughout his college career due to his size and reach disadvantage. He is a scrappy player but still needs to add strength and size to his 6'8" frame to be able to compete defensively (another area of his game with needed improvement).
Although McDermott may not be the "typical" mold of a player that coach Tom Thibodeau and the Bulls usually go after, he is a perfect fit in Chicago. His shooting stroke, efficiency, high basketball IQ and movement without the basketball will make him a viable bench option for Thibodeau to use on a nightly basis. As far as the defense goes, coach Thibodeau has worked bigger miracles before (ex: Kyle Korver), so I have faith that McDermott will improve drastically in that area over the next 12-18 months.
The Bulls will be able to use McDermott in multiple ways this season. Coming into the NBA, most consider McDermott to be a wing player at the "3" position. His size for a wing player is optimal, and his quickness and first step are good enough for him to be an effective player off the dribble. However, with many teams shifting to or using some type of "small-ball" lineup, McDermott could see extended minutes behind Taj Gibson as a stretch-4 type player for the Bulls, which in these situations would benefit Chicago on both ends of the court.
The Bulls now have the ability to match up more efficiently on these stretch type of players. Last season, it was rare to see Joakim Noah/Carlos Boozer/Gibson defending near the three-point line unless it was to close out on a shooter. With McDermott on the floor, he should be able to defend most stretch-fours while still being an efficient threat on the offensive end.
The situations and roster combinations with McDermott and potentially Nikola Mirotic are numerous. The potential flexibility of this roster that was so depleted and spread thin last season is tremendous. Regardless of whom the team signs to start on the wing, this Bulls team will look much like the 2010-2012 Chicago teams — star power with an unbelievable bench.
McDermott was the consensus NCAA National Player of the Year in 2014, averaging over 26.7 points per game and becoming one of only three players in NCAA history to eclipse the 3,000 points and 1,000 rebounds mark. McDermott, along with fellow rookies Cameron Bairstow and Brandon Paul, will be making their NBA Summer League debut on July 12th in Las Vegas.

On top of the overall gong, Subaru's Impreza and Liberty models finished first and joint second (with the Jaguar XJ saloon and Toyota's Starlet) in the individual model reports.
The JDP award is the highest rated poll of its kind and operates in many different countries. More than 23,000 people were surveyed in the UK poll, which covered 36 different areas of customer satisfaction on 114 different cars from 32 manufacturers.
Subaru's 158-point score was the highest in the six years JDP has been surveying customers in Britain.
The director of European Operations for J.D. Power, David Sargent, said: "Subaru owners enjoy their car's outstanding on-road performance and report few quality problems."
Subaru also won the survey in 1997, but lost narrowly to Skoda last year.
US recall
Subaru of America is recalling about 221,000 of its 1998-99 Forester and 2.0-litre Legacy vehicles due to a potential brake malfunction in extremely cold weather, but the problem does not affect vehicles in Australia.
The American company said no accidents or injuries had been reported as a result of the problem, which could occur if an internal valve in the brake master cylinder momentarily stuck in the open position during normal braking at temperatures of minus 30 degrees C.
If that happens, the vehicle slows but does not stop right away.
Motorists who experienced this problem could correct it by releasing the brake pedal and stepping on it sharply one time, the company said.
About 40 Subaru vehicles in Alaska and Canada had been detected with the problem.
The voluntary recall does not affect 2.2-litre Legacy models, and according to Subaru Australia spokesman Nick Senior there is no recall in Australia because of the unlikelihood of such low temperatures being reached here.

Bellevue coach Duane Monlux has been scouring the internet to find information about the Bruins' first round opponent in the NAIA World Series. Bellevue is in Lewiston, Idaho, and opens the World Series on Friday afternoon against Auburn-Montgomery of Alabama.
Monlux says it won't matter how much information he gathers if the Bruins don't play well.
"There is a lot of information on the internet and you try to gather as much as you can", said Monlux. "At the end it is still playing baseball. It is still guys making pitches, playing defense and trying to get timely hits."
Bellevue is the third seed and enters the tournament with a 51-10 record. The Bruins are making their 13th appearance in the World Series and their first since 2008.
Auburn-Montgomery is seeded sixth and is 45-15. The Warhawks finished as the runner-up in both the Southern States Athletic Conference Regular-Season and Tournament to claim a bid to the National Tournament. They swept through the Opening Round Montgomery Bracket, which they hosted. AUM out-scored their opposition 38-15 to reach the World Series for the fourth time in program history.
Monlux says they key in a double elimination format is to avoid an early trip to the loser's bracket.
"That is one thing that is nice about a tournament of this length is if you can stay in the winners bracket you get days off. If you are in the losers bracket you are going to go through a lot of pitching."

CVG has the scoop.
"The Master league has functioned as PES's league mode where you build up a team of superstars to take on the world's best clubs. Seabass' development team are still inking in the final details but apparently the main online stumbling block will be star players - balancing the transfer market when there is literally only one Wayne Rooney or Andriy Shevchenko."

Do you have a question to ask the experts? Send it to firstname.lastname@example.com AUTISM Back to Top | Article Outline AUTISM QMy child has Asperger's syndrome, and he is an only child. What will happen to him when my husband and I are gone? What services are available? Figure DR. ISABELLE RAPIN RESPONDS: A Since Asperger's syndrome (AS) is a behavioral diagnosis with a broad range of severity—and not a specific disease—it's difficult to predict your child's future without more specific information. The services that are available and appropriate for your son will be dictated by his specific condition and needs. However, the following factors will shape the future of any person with AS: level of intelligence, social skills, and quality of intervention. With counseling and support, some people with AS are able to function independently, attend college, have a job, and get married. Asperger's syndrome is one of the autism spectrum disorders, which are characterized by abnormalities of social interactions and communication, restricted interests, and repetitive behavior. The Department of Health and Human Services estimates that the prevalence of autism spectrum disorders in the U.S. is 1 in 110 births. Many people with AS find it difficult to make long-term plans, so this responsibility often falls to their parents. If you have the means, consider establishing a trust to secure your son's future. Or, if he is handicapped, get information about benefits he may be eligible to receive. Does he need a group home or assisted living facility? If so, start looking now—the process of finding the right environment can take years. Finally, consider assigning a guardian, someone who will safeguard the interests of your child. An excellent resource for support groups and online resources is the Autism Society of America Foundation (autism-society.com). A success story for people with AS is to find a social and vocational niche that fits their needs as well as a support system that helps them function. Therefore, it's important for parents to talk to their children, let them know that there is a name for their difficulty, and remind them that they are not alone.

Hey everyone I'm in need of some help. Work is sending me to write an article about three very specific restaurants; Katsuya (Studio City) tomorrow, CUT and The Ivy are next week. I've done a search and have jotted down some options, but does anyone else have anything to add from more recent visits of dishes to try from ANY menu category? I should be trying dishes the restaurant is known for or sleeper options not to miss. Any and all help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
