Tell us what you think...
The community thinks...
Wonderful SUV by Kath on 01/01/2013. Trim: 2013 Toyota Highlander Limited 4X4, Owned 1 year.
Pros: this car handles so well, ride is quiet and confortable. I like the fact that you can seat more people if needed or have more cargo space and can make those changes easily. Has been great in snow.
Cons: gas mileage
Overall review: Traded a 2008 Lexus RX350 for 2013 Toyota Highlander Limited. You pay for the name Lexus, yes some of the features are a little plusher on the Lexus but it isn't worth the cost.
Review ID: #568211 Is this review offensive?
Best entry-level luxury SUV by Kal on 01/06/2013. Trim: 2013 Toyota Highlander Limited 4X4, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: Very smooth ride. Lots of creature comforts in the Limited. Great fit and finish compared to my Venza. I liked that SUV but the loaded Highlander is just another world above. More space and legroom for the driver than Venza. Great sound system and display. Very comfortable power seat. You feel like a $million driving this vehicle but I paid 38k and change. Add in 0% financing and it's plenty of SUV for the money. I looked at more expensive Lexus models but this is a great ride and lots cheaper. I love it!
Cons: Getting 20 mpg, about 2.5 mpg less than Venza, if gas goes up for good it might get costly doing my usual 50-mile days. I had a 2008 Highlander limited and this one has the same, odd-sized p245/55r19 tires. I found out before these are pricy ($300 ea) and don't last long (25-30k if you're lucky). I since learned you can put p255/55r19 tires on it with lots more choices. I'd be happy if the Limited had more mainstream tires. Not much to complain about other than gas and tires. I wish the loaded hybrid models were less pricey, and I wish the SE models had smartkeys available--would have given more choices. Once you drive with the smartkey for a while it's hard to go back to a regular key.
Overall review: If you want a reliable and luxurious SUV under 40k, this is a good place to start.

LUV MY SUV by Evansville, Indiana on 02/07/2013. Trim: 2013 Toyota Highlander Limited 4X4, Owned 1 year.
Pros: Love the room it has for myself and the family. ALso may use it like a truck for my gardening tools. I love the way it drives and handles in all kinds of weather. The gas mileage is something I can afford and it has held up beautifully inside and out. I will go with this again for my next purchase.
Cons: If I have to say...the color of intereior tan.. It shows all marks of dirt. I do shampoo alot and it does come out, but I have to clean often. IT SHOWS EVERYTHING>
Overall review: Overall though I am 100% pleased. I must add that the Toyota service has been great too. Very Professional.
Review ID: #569515 Is this review offensive?
The Ultimate all time multi purpose vehicle by Granny from Kentucky on 02/02/2013. Trim: 2013 Toyota Highlander SE 4X2, Owned 1 year.
Pros: Looks, driving, handeling, compliments others give, I have had many "I sure do like your car." Bought a new 2007 Highlander and gave to granddaughter and bought a new 2012. Love the crimson mica color.
Cons: Haven't found anything I dislike.
Overall review: I would give it a ten! If I had to buy another tomorrow, it would be another Highlander.
Review ID: #569240 Is this review offensive?
Excellent SUV by An MSN Autos Consumer on 01/03/2013. Trim: 2013 Toyota Highlander Limited 4X2, Owned 1 year.
Pros: Great SUV for the money. Purchased for my wife and I to use commuting to/from work and for road trips. Sleek, simple design. Comfortable seats and tons of features on the 2013 Limited. Engine is powerful and car zips along without any issue. Plenty of storage.
Cons: Take a while to get used navigating the touch screen panel and numerous buttons.
Overall review: Would buy another Highlander today.

Mile 1,236: Wilber's Barbecue
GOLDSBORO, NC. — We were lucky to speak with Keith Allen. We were thrilled to run into Ed Mitchell in his restaurant. To go three-for-three in barbecue legend sightings, meeting Wilber Shirley at his 48-year-old eponymous restaurant, was hitting the trifecta. Is there a horse racing track nearby?

Four members of Tennessee's congressional delegation - Reps. Blackburn, DesJarlais, Duncan, and Roe - have all signed on as co-sponsors of legislation which drastically alters the definition of rape. H.R. 3 has been dubbed a top priority by the GOP. But within the details are some harsh ideas about what rape is and is not, all in an effort to reduce reimbursements for private health care plans.
"With this legislation, which was introduced last week by Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.), Republicans propose that the rape exemption be limited to "forcible rape." This would rule out federal assistance for abortions in many rape cases, including instances of statutory rape, many of which are non-forcible. For example: If a 13-year-old girl is impregnated by a 24-year-old adult, she would no longer qualify to have Medicaid pay for an abortion.
"Other types of rapes that would no longer be covered by the exemption include rapes in which the woman was drugged or given excessive amounts of alcohol, rapes of women with limited mental capacity, and many date rapes."
"the anti-abortion side has ... been pushing to outlaw tax deductions for insurance plans that cover abortion, even if the abortion coverage is never used."
I've not seen any in the TN delegation rushing to the press to promote their plan, which makes me wonder if they are ashamed of themselves or if they are just hoping no one (outside of anti-abortion forces) will notice what they - and 170 other co-sponsors - want to do.
Why is Congress looking at

I just don't know what to do anymore. I feel like I'm slipping. I want to reach out and grab hold of something or someone, but I'm terrified that like everything and everyone else they'll just disappear on me. The friends that haven't abandoned me I just push away, willing them to do so. I'm a selfish miserable person whose cried far too many tears for a person of her age and who's just spent emotionally. Not very cheerful for my URL and this is possibly the last post ever using it seeing as I haven't even been on here since my birthday and I have another account now. Just posting something because it's less likely to be seen on this one. I'm just so tired, sleep sounds good now.
I couldn't find my fake mustache to hide behind.

© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
Gwinnett traffic could become a bit smoother, after commissioners accepted some state funding for resurfacing Tuesday and moved forward on turn lane enhancements at a key Lawrenceville-area intersection.
Georgia Department of Transportation officials handed over an oversized check of nearly $4.5 million Tuesday, representing the county's share in the Local Maintenance Improvements Grant program.
Today the State Transportation Board and the Georgia Department of Transportation presented the people of Gwinnett County with funds to keep Gwinnett moving through the Local Maintenance and Improvements Grant (LMIG) program.
"Improving mobility is the highest priority of the State Transportation Board and it is a particular pleasure to assist Gwinnett County with their roadways," said Rudy Bowen, the local representative on the State Transportation Board. "Gwinnett is truly a partner with Georgia DOT using their SPLOST program to upgrade transportation on state routes, interstates and local roads. I am proud to be a resident and to assist the county on the State DOT Board."
County officials plan to use the $4,474,401.56 to upgrade 46.22 miles of 51 local roads, a press release said.
"I am always glad to accept a check and I promise to put it to good use resurfacing over 46 miles of county roads," Commission Chairwoman Charlotte Nash said.
The state LMIG funding is a portion of the state motor fuel taxes that are distributed to local governments based on population and road mileage. In addition to the county's allotment, Gwinnett's 16 cities will receive about $1.2 million in the Fiscal Year 2014 program, officials said.
Also Tuesday, commissioners approved a nearly $1 million contract to improve the intersection of Sugarloaf Parkway and Five Forks Trickum Road.
Contracts with Baldwin Paving Company are set to add dual left turn lanes on Five Forks Trickum Road eastbound and lengthen the left turn lane on Sugarloaf Parkway northbound and the right turn lane on Sugarloaf Parkway southbound. The $978,138.50 contract also includes some sidewalk, curb and gutter and drainage improvements, a press release said.
The project, funded by the county's 2005 SPLOST program is set to be complete by the end of the year.

I'm totally hooked on all the Olympic news and events, and and love it when I see my boys getting into it as well. What do you think about the Olympics so far? Any surprises or disappointments?
I'm still upset about the whole Jordyn Weiber situation. I don't think it's a true Olympic competition when you do not take the best 24 competitors instead of limiting it to 2 per country. I don't know of another Olympic sport that does their qualifying rounds this way, anyone know of any comparisons?
I was so excited to see Missy Franklin win a gold last night in the 100m. Totally awesome to watch, especially after competing in a qualifying race for the 200m just ten minutes earlier.

How to Apply as a Transfer Student.
Along with your completed application accompanied by $25 non-refundable application fee, you'll need to provide a few supporting materials. Because there's lead time required for some items, here's a step-by-step process that seems to work best for candidates:
Order your official high school and college transcripts. (G.E.D. scores are accepted as an alternative) from the high school you attended. Your transcripts should be dated within a year of your application, include the registrar's seal of the issuing institution and must be mailed (in a sealed envelope) directly to Alvernia University at this address:
Alvernia University
Attn: Transfer Admissions
400 Saint Bernardine Street
Reading, PA 19607
Scores from the SAT or ACT are not required.
Provide a copy of form DD214 from military. (if applicable) This form identifies the veteran's condition of discharge and must be submitted to the admissions office for evaluation.
Complete your online or paper application. While you wait for your transcripts to be processed, you can begin your online application, which lets you build, edit and save sections of your application along the way. Or you can apply with our Undergraduate Day Application.*We are currently accepting Nursing applications for the Fall of 2014. Due to program capacity, transfer seats are very limited. All completed files will be reviewed by the Department Chair on a case by case basis. Once your file is completed and has been reviewed, you will be notified of your status by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
*Occupational Therapy transfer student applications are no longer being accepted as the program is currently at capacity. If this changes in the future, information will be posted here. Transfer students are encouraged to earn a Bachelor's degree in areas such as Biology, Healthcare Science, etc. then apply to our entry level MSOT program through Graduate education at Alvernia.

Aigurande to Super-Besse Sancy, 189km
Road, medium mountains
The Tour's first real uphill battle comes not in the Pyrenees or the Alps but in the Massif Central, with the challenging finish to the ski resort at Super-Besse Sancy, a moderate 11-kilometer ascent that ends with a surprisingly steep final ramp. While not daunting compared with the grand cols that await, the first significant climb in the Tour always produces a few surprises; some riders need a couple of days of climbing in their legs to warm up to the mountains after the flatter opening stages. In 2008, this ascent made for a frenzied finish won by soon-to-be-suspended Ricardo Ricco.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- Joshua Yeager, 24, is believed to have kidnapped his biological daughter, 2-year-old Jaylynn Yeager.
Officers recovered a car Yeager allegedly stole two weeks ago at a Circle K gas station in Louisville. The car's owner, Jamie Howard, called Yeager while she was doing an interview with WHAS11.
"What are you doing?" Howard said when Yeager answered.
He did not say where he was, and would not even mention his daughter. Yeager explained where Howard could find her car, and then apologized.
"I'm nervous. I'm shocked," Howard said. "I want this little girl home."
Howard said she is not close to Yeager, and explained she only knew him because he spent time at a nearby apartment.
"He's a drug addict. He needs help," she said. "I don't know why he took his daughter. I know he loves his kids, but this is not the right way to do it."
Jaylynn's mother said she has not seen her daughter in several days. If you have information, police ask you call 571-LMPD

Think beyond the limitations of wired computing with the NETGEAR N150 wireless router. With a transfer rate of 150 Mbps, this convenient router gets your wireless network up and running at high speeds, freeing your office from bundles of potentially hazardous wires. This easy-to-use network router requires no software for installation but comes with a step-by-step CD guide to make setup simple. The NETGEAR Genie management dashboard takes the stress out of monitoring and fixing network issues. Built-in security settings and programmable content controls means your crucial data files stay protected against malware.
Centralized Network Access
The N150 Wireless Router enables a safer work environment, reducing the number of wires needed to connect multiple computers and accompanying devices. This also gives you the freedom to optimize your workspace and arrange workgroups strategically without having to form your entire layout around network access. And with the ability to connect to multiple machines at once, this convenient router saves you money on expensive networking equipment.
Increase Network Speed
While primarily operating on the Wireless-G standard, this network router uses some dual-band capabilities when connected to compatible Wireless-N devices to offer valuable speed boosts. Thanks to its improved, consistent performance, you can feel comfortable streaming important media and conducting video conferences on your network.
Security Features
Safeguard sensitive information in your computer and emails with the wireless router's built-in double-firewall protection and other anti-intrusion features. Set custom blocks to prevent access to harmful or inappropriate content, ensuring that your workplace is never compromised. You can also regulate guest access with isolated settings that affect only guest network users.
Efficient Operation
The NETGEAR N150 wireless router includes an Energy Star-rated adapter, so you can expect efficient power consumption.

Perfect router for small networks. Faster than Wireless G, and has a nice feature which auto assigns a wireless channel based on what networks are around you. Helps a lot in my apartment complex where everyone has their own router and no network experience, making the networks collide and unusable. This router will find the right channel, and you'll have a stable, secure network up and running in no time.

Probably not the simplest router to install as a "first time router installer". The set-up CD would not run, even though the router was working. I called Netgear tech support and had difficulty understanding the tech as he spoke with an accent foreign to me. He said I did not need to run the CD if the router is working. I asked "how do I set up a secure, locked network?" "I'm sure the CD would've provided instructions for that". I don't think he understood me! He repeated "you don't need to run the CD if the router is working". At this point I was providing free wi-fi to anyone who happened to park in my driveway. He never answered my question. I called Staples. They were able to assist me and I was able to set up a secure, locked router. Thanks Staples. I would probably buy a different brand of router next time. If you buy this router, be sure to read the set-up instructions CAREFULLY and you better follow every step precisely including: when to turn off your modem, when to plug in the router, when to turn on the modem, when to turn on the router, etc...

Comments about NETGEAR N150 WiFi Router WNR1000:
This router has gone to my summer home where there is absolutely no internet around. I am using this so I can have Wifi. It is connected to a modem using Time Warner, which was recently bought out by Comcast. So things may change in the future.

Comments about NETGEAR N150 WiFi Router WNR1000:
I'm no techy... however I have lost my wireless connection 3 times in the 2 weeks I have had this set up. Don't know if it is me or the device??
Not that good.....
Comments about NETGEAR N150 WiFi Router WNR1000:
Purchased this router to connect my home surveillance system to. It is a 2 camera system and I have a cable hook-up but needed Wi-Fi in order for the camera to work. This router is not strong enough to carry the signal. I barely get a signal on my camera. It may be okay for computer use (I still have the cable hook-up so can't really say for sure on that end either) but would not recommend for a camera system.

Compassion does not pay bills. Compassion does not keep schools open. One
reader seems this is the case. However regional, state, county and local governments
must balance their budgets. Only the federal government is exempt.
Schools are closed all the time, especially when their populations (number of students attending) falls below a norm.
Teachers get let go when school resources face new
challenges. In this tough job market, there are fewer openings.
When NASA programs ended, thousands were let go. There were no other jobs open. In contrast, the students displaced by the school closings have other classrooms to attend. They have buses to get them there. The displaced teachers are out.
The Board of Education cannot use compassion to balance its budget. There are not millions in wasted funds. Yet, one reader expects the board to do so. When and where?
Circus is in town
I thought that the landing of Ponce de Leon was the best thing that happened to Melbourne Beach. A farmers market, pit bulls, chickens, chumming: we certainly have our priorities straight!
Let's have a circus! I think we already do.
Thank God for the Republican agenda!
We should all be afraid of a government that cannot even complete an annual budget. How do we let Democrats even talk about economic growth and fixing the economy, when they don't even understand basic math - especially our president, who was for it. Now he's against it, mentality. If it sounds good, I am in, mentally.
We have elected officials in the Democratic Party who are clueless about what it takes to manage anything, especially money.
The president is, in my opinion, completely trying to destroy and undermine our Constitution.
There are many representatives, who come from areas of the country that do not add one dime towards the revenue of this country and they elect people to represent that agenda. Those regions are where we start our work to look for solutions.
I am close to 60 years old, and from as far back as I can remember, every campaign talks about education, training programs, the poor and disabled, the elderly and so on.
If we are to succeed and be a strong country, we must show we can, at least, elect representatives who can come together as citizens for the betterment of this country.
One could say you can blame both sides, but I don't think so. President (Barack) Obama is selling timeshares for vacation condo's that only exist in Pluto, and half this country believes it.
Oh, if you don't have money for schools, then we need to close them until we can afford them.
War on terror
Through out the (George) Bush Administration, my family, like yours, was inundated with the media and the president crying "wolf" with the phrase "War on Terror."
The terror alerts seemed suspiciously timed and were heard so often they caused my two girls, 6 and 8 years old, to stop playing and stare in horror at President Bush on TV crying "are we going die?"
This is) a sharp contrast from (President Barack) Obama's Administration, where now my family feels protected and secure, after the killing of (Osama) Bin Laden.
A grateful "thank you" to President Obama for making that call and the Navy Seals for carrying it out.
We knew you were a 'liberal Democrat'
This is in response to the liberal democratic woman, who responded to rants.
First, I would like to tell you that you did not need to tell us you were a liberal Democrat. It was totally obvious to all.
Your first paragraph was complaining about not getting advanced at work. Maybe your problem is your whiney, "You owe me because I'm a woman" attitude.
Your second paragraph complained about Republicans being greedy.
They are not greedy. They just believe that if you work hard and earn the big bucks, you should not have to pay for people who sit home and want handouts.
The United States government did not bring you into this world, and they owe you nothing, except your freedom and protection from foreign enemies (whom the Obama Administration is now helping and giving our money to).
It was President John F. Kennedy who said, "Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country," (and he was a Democrat, in case you forgot).
Contrary to popular belief, no one "owes" you anything. In America we earn what we have.
Your third paragraph about abortion seems to contradict your fourth paragraph about neglected animals.
You think it's terrible for people to move and leave their animals behind, and I totally agree. However, you think it's perfectly OK to kill unborn babies? This is the thinking of a liberal.
Animals are more important than human babies? I think you need to get your priorities straight.
This is a reply to 'Many of the rants are disrespectful'
I agree with you that many items are disrespectful, but I must say you are a Kool-Aid-drinking (President Barack) Obama lover, which means that you will never listen to anyone who does not agree with (President) Obama and his administration.
How can you expect people to respect (President) Obama when he does not tell the truth?
Let's check just a few facts, because if I look at more then just a few things (President) Obama has said or did, I get sick.
He was elected by the majority, who are getting a handout from the government, don't have a clue on what is going on in this country and could care less, as long as the handouts keep coming.
Have you ever watched any of the TV pop-up interviews? Some people can't tell you the name of the vice president!
President) Obama has stopped drilling for oil on government lands, and the drilling (in the) waters along our coast. Have you bought gas lately? Do you know how much debt we have in this country? Please note that some of the "Obamacare" policies are enacted now and the full effect will begin in 2014.
The only financial disaster we are trying to recover from is the one your beloved president led us into, not the prior administrations - not to say the prior administrations were completely free from fault, as none of them were.
So when you hear the truth, you turn a deaf ear and write what you think is such a terrible thing. The terrible things haven't arrived yet!
Another "cliff," another failed objective!
There is no better place to start the anti-bullying campaign than Washington.
This administration has the perfect opportunity to practice what they preach.
Stop bullying the American people.
Just because things are not progressing the way the "powers that be" would like, we are recipients of scare tactics to beat us into submission!
The cuts in the budget should start at the top. Lead by example!
Instead of getting another raise, which Congress had time to vote on and pass, take an honorable cut in pay.
Terminate employment or, at the very least, reduce the revenue of any government employee, Senate, Congress, etc., who is not present to get the job done or who leaves Washington before the job is completed. They can't be representing us when they are not present to do the job they were elected to do! They should not be paid for not working.
All government employees, including the residents of the White House, should have their superior health insurance converted to the same insurance coverage with the same regulations as the American people.
Are they no longer fellow Americans once they get to Washington? Does that move make them superior?
We are "the people," not subjects! We are all created equal!
Threatening and punishing us for your deficiencies is bullying!
The amount of revenue that would be saved by eliminating the frivolous trips to talk shows, multiple vacations, etc., would be better spent on supplies, such as ammunition for our sons and daughters fighting to keep us free.
The office of the president, Congress and the Senate are dignified positions not to be made folly by appearing on talk shows and performing skits. This administration is a disgrace.
I pity the administration that will inherit the abomination this current administration will leave behind - provided, of course, that four years from now we are not an occupied territory.
Get with the program Washington!
Remember that you were sent to Washington to do a job. Just do it!
In God, we trust.
People driving below the speed limit
Not a day goes by that I don't get behind someone going 10-15 mph below the already ridiculously low speed limit. And I'm talking about going 20 in a 35 zone.
To make matters worse, all too often it is some jerk taking on the phone. Hey, if you want to go that slow, pull over and let people pass, or shut up and drive.
And the other thing is the lazy SOBs, who can't return their shopping carts to the cart aisles in the parking lot. I've actually seen people be next to the isle and still leave their cart in the lot. And no aisle is too far from any parking spot.
Believe me, it would do most of you some good to burn a few extra calories.
School board budget
The financials and demographics are not being reported by the media in the Brevard School's budget issue. The schools have the facts listed online, but it is very difficult to break them down.
Do you know that the number of students has dropped from 71,750 in 2004 to 64,627 in 2013? Does this make it a little clearer?
There are a significant number people, who think the more spending on schools the better, which is not the case, by the way.
The rest of you need to speak up and support the school board for doing the right thing to bring costs under control while providing students education.
Tax money spent for farmer's market?
The recent letter concerning the farmer's market being such a wonderful addition to the town comes with a little more history.
Certain members of the Melbourne Beach Planning and Zoning Board have authorized more than $20,000 tax dollars, to date, in town planner fees and attorney fees attempting to open our town parks and W. Ocean Avenue residential areas to more commercial activities.
However, the board was divided, and the motion to allow a so-called farmer's market in town parks failed over concern for the harmony of the residents, who live adjacent to the parks.
Not to be deterred, the board member most involved got the town to issued a permit to allow the farmer's market in the supermarket parking lot. That resulted in a huge turnout of adjacent business people at the last town meeting, complaining about the sudden lack of parking and new competition - not to mention the town is in violation of it's own town codes, allowing the farmer's market in a parking lot.
Although the concept may be welcomed by some in Melbourne Beach, I would point out there is an established farmers market just three miles west at U.S. Highway 1 and U.S. Highway 192.
For those who like to shop at the local supermarket, trying to find a parking space on Saturday is near impossible.
It is) interesting that one member of the board continues to promote zoning code changes and town events.
Established businesses vs. farmer's market
As the late Paul Harvey would say, " ... now the rest of the story."
First, all of us "curmudgeons," as the writer of the Rant & Rave refers to us, are not against the Ocean Avenue Saturday market. What we don't like is the unbridled expansion of the market.
What started out as five or six booths is now well over 20.
The market is located in a parking lot meant for two businesses, a restaurant and a grocery store. These two businesses' employee parking added to the 20-plus vendors occupy more than half of the available parking spaces.
Market and grocery store patrons then park in the Brevard County Library lot to the west or our shopping center lot to the east.
The problem is that the Saturday market patrons feel that it is their implied right to park in our spaces, preventing our normal Saturday customers from transacting business with our stores.
When we brought this problem to the attention of the market organizers weeks ago, their response was to add more vendors.
Since our shopping center's Saturday sales have been greatly reduced, (which no one in this economy can afford), we were forced to use threatening signage; and when that didn't work, tow trucks.
How would this writer like it if next door to her house/apartment 30-40 people moved into a space made for four or five?
The added noise, traffic, garbage, etc. would soon be very trying.
The writer also stated how friendly the vendors are. Our established, licensed businesses are also very hospitable. See how friendly those vendors would be if you took away a large portion of their sales and increased their cost of doing business. They could always fold up their tent and move away. Our long-time established businesses cannot just pick up and leave like a bunch of gypsies.
Perhaps we should give up our leases, set up tents and join the carnival? The buildings could be deserted and boarded up, you know that depression look for six days a week, but we would be there every Saturday for the Ocean Avenue flea market.
The rave writer should apologize for referring to us as "curmudgeons" and realize that we are just trying to defend our livelihoods.
Perhaps she would like to donate 20 percent of her income to the "Curmudgeon Prevention Society."
Now, you know the rest of the story.
Dressing like that is not beneficial
As a female in today's society, I have something to say; and I seriously mean it.
I am sick of seeing female body anatomy body parts everywhere I go. Is nothing sacred anymore?
I see mom's walking with their young sons and daughters wearing practically next to nothing. And imagine in a child's eye looking up at Mommy's rear end in her "Daisy Duke" shorts every time her little boy or little girl wants his or her bottle or pacifier or even wants to ask a question or looking a Mommy's cleavage or breasts that are hanging out of her shirt any and every time they look at her, talk to her or listen to her.
How is this normal or beneficial for young boys or girls at such young ages to see a half-naked woman pretty much all the time, if their mother dresses this way? And what a shame at ages 1 through whatever, with all the nakedness they see in the world on TV and all around them, and then it's their Mommy they see half naked.
How is this good or normal?
All of you moms out there, dressing like you would in the privacy of your own bedroom with your spouse or mate, and yet you go out in public for God and everyone to look at you and see you dressed very provocatively with the way some of the clothes fit or don't fit; and then some of the women get upset when some of the men stare at them.
Please think about this. You are the mothers, sisters, daughters, granddaughters of the world; and if we, the women of American, the nurturers and moral compasses for our future generations, when we are too busy trying to turn the next door neighbors on or the baseball coach or the guy at the restaurant, who can't help but see your sexual intimate side because you got it out there and no longer care who you show your body to, it's way more important to look sexy nowadays, it seems.
Look at Beyonce. Sorry, all you Beyonce lovers. But the Super Bowl halftime show, with her out there strutting her stuff, with her Victoria's Secret-like outfit, gyrating, humping, grinding, bumping, dirty-dog dancing was not appropriate viewing for all the millions of kids who were watching the Super Bowl and had no choice but to watch the halftime show, if they were allowed to, or leave the room because of the somewhat graphic and definitely sexual in nature halftime show broadcast across America. We should be so proud.
No wonder many other countries view us a scandalous Americans. Look whom we allow our children to idolize, watch and emulate.
Sex is anywhere and everywhere, so why do you think it is OK to dress sexy, provocative, sleazy, scantily, half-naked in front of your own children, who are already being influenced by you that nudity and sometimes dressing almost no different than the women of the street is OK and normal?
There are so many pedophile and sex addicts, who rape women and girls.

Selenium in health and disease: a review. Foster LH; Sumar S Nutrition Research Centre, South Bank University, London, UK. Crit Rev Food Sci Nutr (United States) Apr 1997, 37 (3) p211-28
Selenium (Se) was discovered 180 years ago. The toxicological properties of Se in livestock were recognized first; its essential nutritional role for animals was discovered in the 1950s and for humans in 1973. Only one reductive metabolic pathway of Se is well characterized in biological systems, although several naturally occurring inorganic and organic forms of the element exist. The amount of Se available for assimilation by the tissues is dependent on the form and concentration of the element. Se is incorporated into a number of functionally active selenoproteins, including the enzyme glutathione peroxidase, which acts as a cellular protector against free radical oxidative damage and type 1 iodothyronine 5'-deiodinase which interacts with iodine to prevent abnormal hormone metabolism. Se deficiency has been linked with numerous diseases, including endemic cardiomyopathy in Se-deficient regions of China; cancer, muscular dystrophy, malaria, and cardiovascular disease have also been implicated, but evidence for the association is often tenuous. Information on Se levels in foods and dietary intake is limited, and an average requirement for Se in the U.K. has no been established. Available data suggest that intake in the U.K. is adequate for all, except for a few risk groups such as patients on total parenteral nutrition or restrictive diets. (122 Refs.)
Assessment of selenium and vitamin E deficiencies in dairy herds and clinical disease in calves. Zust J; Hrovatin B; Simundic B Institute for Hygiene and Pathology of Animal Nutrition, Veterinary Faculty Ljubljana, Slovenia. Vet Rec (England) Oct 19 1996, 139 (16) p391-4
Because of the very low concentrations of selenium in the dry matter of grass, grass silage, hay and maize silage Slovenian dairy herds need to be supplemented with selenium. Selenium in the form of mineral and feed mixtures maintained adequate mean (sd) blood serum selenium concentrations of 43.9 (27.6) to 65.3 (18.5) micrograms/litre in lactating cows, but in late lactation and in the dry period when only mineral mixtures were used, about 60 per cent of the cows had marginal serum selenium concentrations, mainly because of the low intake of the mineral supplement. In 18 herds which were either unsupplemented or irregularly supplemented with selenium, the mean (sd) concentrations in blood serum were 13.7 (5.5) micrograms/litre and 17.4 (9.2) micrograms/litre, respectively, for selenium and 2.98 (2.72) mg/litre and 1.62 (1.73) mg/litre for vitamin E, indicating that under extensive farming conditions in Slovenia the lack of both micronutrients may be responsible for nutritional muscular dystrophy in calves. Among 37 clinical cases, cardiorespiratory signs predominated in 25 of the calves and skeletal myopathy was dominant in 12. A very low mean serum selenium concentration [9.7 (7.2) micrograms/litre] and typically high activities of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) [1125 (373) U/litre] and creatine kinase (CK) [9169 (3681) U/litre) were observed for the myocardial form of the disease, and 2797 (550) U/litre and 22,650 (13,500) U/litre were observed for the skeletal form of the disease. A highly significant (P < 0.0001) difference in the selenium concentration of liver dry matter between the regularly supplemented [402 (207) micrograms/kg] and irregularly supplemented [173 (69) micrograms/kg] herds was observed. If a minimum value of 300 micrograms/kg of liver dry matter is accepted as the criterion for the determination of adequate selenium status, 93 per cent of the samples from the irregularly supplemented herds were selenium deficient. A similar proportion was estimated to be selenium deficient when the criterion was taken to be 30 micrograms selenium/litre of blood serum.
Wheat kernel ingestion protects from progression of muscle weakness in mdx mice, an animal model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Hubner C; Lehr HA; Bodlaj R; Finckh B; Oexle K; Marklund SL; Freudenberg K; Kontush A; Speer A; Terwolbeck K; Voit T; Kohlschutter A Department of Neuropediatrics, Virchow Medical Center, Humboldt University, Berlin, Germany. Pediatr Res (United States) Sep 1996, 40 (3) p444-9
A simple, reproducible test was used to quantify muscle weakness in mdx mice, an animal model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The effect of bedding on wheat kernels and of dietary supplementation of alpha-tocopherol on the progression of muscle weakness was investigated in mdx mice. When measured during the first 200 d of life, mdx mice developed muscle weakness, irrespective of bedding and diet. When kept on wood shavings and fed a conventional rodent diet, mdx mice showed progressive muscle weakness over the consecutive 200 d, and eventually showed a significant weight loss during the next 200-d observation period. Progression of muscle weakness and weight loss were almost completely prevented in mdx mice that were kept on wheat kernel bedding. In contrast, only incomplete maintenance of muscle strength and body weight was observed in mdx mice kept on wood shavings and fed the alpha-tocopherol-supplemented diet. It is concluded from these experiments that a component of wheat kernels other than alpha-tocopherol is essential to prevent the progression of muscle weakness in mdx mice.
Extraocular, limb and diaphragm muscle group-specific antioxidant enzyme activity patterns in control and mdx mice. Ragusa RJ; Chow CK; St. Clair DK; Porter JD Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology, University of Kentucky Medical Center 40536-0084, USA. J Neurol Sci (Netherlands) Aug 1996, 139 (2) p180-6
The mechanisms primarily responsible for the degenerative processes occurring in dystrophic skeletal muscle remain unresolved. The identification of the mechanisms that lead to the complete sparing of extraocular muscle in dystrophinopathies is of particular interest. A number of studies have provided evidence to suggest that the muscle pathology that characterizes muscular dystrophy may be, in part, free radical mediated. In the present study, we examined the antioxidant enzyme status of extraocular, diaphragm and gastrocnemius muscles in control strain and mdx mice. Our results revealed that in the control strain, both extraocular and diaphragm muscles had higher copper/zinc superoxide dismutase, manganese superoxide dismutase and selenium dependent glutathione peroxidase activities as compared to the gastrocnemius. Furthermore, the diaphragm had higher glutathione reductase activity as compared to the gastrocnemius. These findings indicate that the highly aerobic extraocular and diaphragm muscles have higher antioxidant enzyme capacity than the gastrocnemius, a muscle more dependent on anaerobic energy metabolism. Changes in the antioxidant enzyme status of the mdx mouse correlated, in part, with the degree of histopathological involvement of the three muscle groups assessed.
Aortic and iliac artery thrombosis in calves: nine cases (1974-1993). Morley PS; Allen AL; Woolums AR Department of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Western College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Canada. J Am Vet Med Assoc (United States) Jul 1 1996, 209 (1) p130-6
OBJECTIVE--To identify common clinical and diagnostic features of calves with aortic or iliac artery thrombosis that might aid in antemortem diagnosis of this condition. DESIGN--Retrospective case series.
ANIMALS--9 calves < or = 6 months old in which aortic or iliac artery thrombosis was confirmed at necropsy.
RESULTS--All calves had an acute onset of paresis or flaccid paralysis of 1 or both hind limbs. Affected limbs were hypothermic and had diminished spinal reflexes and diminished pulse pressures. Diagnosis was definitively established in 2 calves by use of angiography. All 9 calves died or were euthanatized.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS--This condition is rare and could be mistaken for more common diseases of young cattle, such as traumatic injury of the axial or appendicular skeleton, vertebral osteomyelitis, nutritional muscular dystrophy associated with vitamin E or selenium deficiency, injury to the sciatic or femoral nerves, or clostridial myositis.
[Selenium concentration in blood and Duchenne-type progressive muscular dystrophy] Yamaguchi T Department of Hygiene, Miyazaki Medical College. Nippon Rinsho (Japan) Jan 1996, 54 (1) p134-40
The concentration of selenium (Se) and the activity of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in plasma and erythrocytes were measured in healthy men and in patients with Duchenne-type progressive muscular dystrophy (DMD). In healthy men, the Se concentration in erythrocytes showed a steep rise with aging and ascended gradually in plasma. The GSH-Px activity in both plasma and erythrocytes clearly increased with aging. The relationship between the Se concentration and the GSH-Px activity in healthy men showed a parallel rise with aging, but the coefficients of correlation were not very high (r = 0.44 and 0.56 in plasma and erythrocytes, respectively. In DMD patients, on the other hand, the Se concentration in erythrocytes decreased steeply with aging, and it decreased gradually in plasma. The GSH-Px activity in both plasma and erythrocytes apparently increased as in healthy men with aging, but the level was about 80% of that of healthy men. When selenite (Se+4) is added to the whole blood in vitro at 25 degrees C, it is rapidly taken up by erythrocytes (within several minutes) and is then released into plasma (a period of 30 min), then subsequent reuptake by erythrocytes is proceeded slowly. Our attention was attracted to the pattern of selenite release from erythrocytes of DMD patients.
Two successful double-blind trials with coenzyme Q10 (vitamin Q10) on muscular dystrophies and neurogenic atrophies. Folkers K, Simonsen R Institute for Biomedical Research, University of Texas at Austin 78705, USA. Biochim Biophys Acta 1995 May 24;1271(1):281-6
Coenzyme Q10 (vitamin Q10) is biosynthesized in the human body and is functional in bioenergetics, anti-oxidation reactions, and in growth control, etc. It is indispensable to health and survival. The first double-blind trial was with twelve patients, ranging from 7-69 years of age, having diseases including the Duchenne, Becker, and the limb-girdle dystrophies, myotonic dystrophy. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, and the Welander disease. The control coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) blood level was low and ranged from 0.5-0.84 microgram/ml. They were treated for three months with 100 mg daily of CoQ10 and a matching placebo. The second double-blind trial was similar with fifteen patients having the same categories of disease. Since cardiac disease is established to be associated with these muscle diseases, cardiac function was blindly monitored, and not one mistake was made in assigning CoQ10 and placebo to the patients in both trials. Definitely improved physical performance was recorded. In retrospect, a dosage of 100 mg was too low although effective and safe. Patients suffering from these muscle dystrophies and the like, should be treated with vitamin Q10 indefinitely.
Biochemical rationale and the cardiac response of patients with muscle disease to therapy with coenzyme Q10. Folkers K, Wolaniuk J, Simonsen R, Morishita M, Vadhanavikit S Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 1985 Jul;82(13):4513-6
Cardiac disease is commonly associated with virtually every form of muscular dystrophy and myopathy. A double-blind and open crossover trial on the oral administration of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) to 12 patients with progressive muscular dystrophies and neurogenic atrophies was conducted. These diseases included the Duchenne, Becker, and limb-girdle dystrophies, myotonic dystrophy, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, and Welander disease. The impaired cardiac function was noninvasively and extensively monitored by impedance cardiography. Solely by significant change or no change in stroke volume and cardiac output, all 8 patients on blind CoQ10 and all 4 on blind placebo were correctly assigned (P less than 0.003). After the limited 3-month trial, improved physical well-being was observed for 4/8 treated patients and for 0/4 placebo patients; of the latter, 3/4 improved on CoQ10; 2/8 patients resigned before crossover; 5/6 on CoQ10 in crossover maintained improved cardiac function; 1/6 crossed over from CoQ10 to placebo relapsed. The rationale of this trial was based on known mitochondrial myopathies, which involve respiratory enzymes, the known presence of CoQ10 in respiration, and prior clinical data on CoQ10 and dystrophy. These results indicate that the impaired myocardial function of such patients with muscular disease may have some association with impaired function of skeletal muscle, both of which may be improved by CoQ10 therapy. The cardiac improvement was definitely positive. The improvement in well-being was subjective, but probably real. Likely, CoQ10 does not alter genetic defects but can benefit the sequelae of mitochondrial impairment from such defects. CoQ10 is the only known substance that offers a safe and improved quality of life for such patients having muscle disease, and it is based on intrinsic bioenergetics.
[Efficiency of ubiquinone and p-oxybenzoic acid in prevention of E-hypovitaminosis-induced development of muscular dystrophy] Kuz'menko IV, Donchenko GV, Kovalenko VN, Gololobov AD, Tarasova NV Ukr Biokhim Zh (USSR) Sep-Oct 1981, 53 (5) p73-9
It is shown that E-hypovitaminosis-induced muscular dystrophy in rabbits is accompanied by a sharp decrease in the body mass, an increase in the urine creatine-index, a decrease in the vitamin E and ubiquinone contents in the liver and skeletal muscle tissues. In the myocardium mitochondria a decrease in the vitamin E content and an increase in the ubiquinone content are observed. The activity of NADH-cytochrome c-, NADH-ubiquinone- and succinate-ubiquinone-reductase also varies in mitochondria of the studied tissues. In myocardium organellas a direct dependence is found between the content of ubiquinone, NADH- and succinate-ubiquinone-reductase activity and an inverse one-between its content and the activity of the NADH-cytochrome c-reductase system. It is established that p-oxybenzoic acid as well as vitamin E prevents development of muscular dystrophy and causes changes analogous in direction in the activity of the ubiquinone-dependent enzymic systems of mitochondria. Ubiquinone-9 is less efficient in preventing the development of muscular dystrophy.

Free radicals, lipid peroxides and antioxidants in blood of patients with myotonic dystrophy. Ihara Y, Mori A, Hayabara T, Namba R, Nobukuni K, Sato K, Miyata S, Edamatsu R, Liu J, Kawai M Clinical Research Institute, National Minamiokayama Hospital, Okayama, Japan. J Neurol. 1995 Feb. 242(3). P 119-22
We studied the levels of free radicals, lipid peroxides and antioxidants, as well as superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the blood of six patients with myotonic dystrophy (MyD) (mean age 52.8, SD 5.0 years) and seven controls (mean age 48.8, SD 6.3 years). Electron spin resonance was used to assess the free radicals by the spin-trapping method using 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-1-oxide. The levels of C centre radical (P < 0.05) and H radical (P < 0.05) in blood from the six MyD patients were significantly higher than those in the seven controls. The SOD activities in red blood cells and serum from the six MyD patients showed no significant difference from those in the seven controls. The serum lipid peroxide concentration was increased in five of the MyD patients and tended to increase further as the disease progressed. The serum vitamin E level was low in two patients and in the low normal range in three. Serum coenzyme Q10 was decreased in four patients. The serum selenium level was decreased in two patients and that of serum albumin was decreased in three. Therefore we conclude that increased levels of free radicals and lipid peroxides and decreased antioxidant levels play an important role in the pathogenesis of MyD.

Why you'd buy the old DeathAdder mouse from Razer is anyone's guess, especially since the new one is twice as powerful and costs a mere $10 more.
The Razer DeathAdder 2013 features a 6400dpi 4G Optical Sensor. Last year's model boasted a by comparison simpleton 3500dpi Razer Precision 3.5G infrared sensor. So you see, it not only sports almost twice the dpi, but it now has an optical sensor. Also included are zero-acoustic ultraslick mouse feet, a gold-plated USB connector, on-the-fly sensitivity adjustments, a seven foot lightweight braided cord, and a design that is only compatible with right handed gamers (there is also a lefty version, just make sure you choose that). It's also compatible with Razer's Synapse 2.0 service, which syncs your mouse with the cloud, and automatically downloads the necessary drivers, firmware updates, as well as save individual settings without you needing to "lift a finger".
You can buy the Razer DeathAdder 2013 for $70.

For The Love Of Teryx
By johnnyboy38
A great romantic story! But love is a very tough emotion for Gengis Rex, so he asks Plesio to come up with a special wrist band in an attempt to controll Teryx's mind to love Rex once again. But the funniest thing is that although Teryx goes to the tarpits to fullfull Rex's demands to marry him for the precious safe return of Sara, Stego somehow manages to sneak into the tarpits as well to rescue Teryx and Sara. He then foils Rex's plan by dressing himself as the bride instead of Teryx. Rex was really outraged upon lifting the bride's veil to find Stego instead of Teryx. Now that's funny!
