I am new here so hope it's ok to start a diary. I am hoping it helps me keep on track. Here is my story.
For the last 3 years I have told anyone that would listen that I was joining slimming world, I was going to lose weight and be healthy. No one believed me and I didn't either. I come from a big family, in both numbers and weight. My Dad is a big man. My younger sister on the other hand is a skinny minnie. 5'9 and a size 12 (lucky girl!!). We always had family gatherings with so much food and for as longs as I remember it was all deep fried. I have always been bigger than the average person but it didn't really bother me. I fell pregnant with my eldest daughter at 15 in 2003 and suffered with terrible post natal depression, this is where the real issues started. I become a comfort eater almost over night and no longer went out much to get any form of exercise. By the time I was 18 I was working 2 jobs and drinking all weekend. I met my husbans in November 2007, he is also over weight. I remember we used to have a 'junk draw' filled with crisps, chocolate, popcorn and so much more. We would refil it almost daily.
We had been together a while when we decided to start trying for a baby, 3 miscarriages followed within 2 years. The doctors diagnosed me with lupus anticoagulant. I almost jumped for joy knowing it wasn't down to my weight. A few months later we found out we were expecting again, feeling a lot more positive this time around due to new medication. 3 days later we were married. I was so happy even though I wasn't wearing the dress of my dreams due to it not being big enough. I was still honoured to be his wife. Unknown to us at the time a few short months later our world would be destroyed.
2 weeks before Christmas 2009 we were given devastating news at our 20 week scan. Our baby boy was very poorly. On January 22nd 2010 our son was born sleeping. Our much wanted baby had died. Although I had my eldest I could barely look after myself so she moved in with my parents for a few months. I seen her every single day. I ate and ate and ate, then I ate some more. I was depressed and it was my comfort.
Since losing our son we went on to have 2 more daughters. They are nearly 2 and 6 weeks old. It is because of my children I am here now. Why I am on my journey to be free of the way food controls me.
2 weeks ago on the spur of the moment I joined slimming world. I was so scared about going, I called the leader before hand and arranged to go a little earlier. I tipped the scales at a whopping 22st 2lbs. That was a turning point for me, I want to see my babies grow into beautiful women and become a grandmother. I am scared that if I don't lose weight I won't see that.
I went back last week for my first weigh in and had lost 8lb. Everyone told me how well I had done but in my head I knew you lost the most in the first week so this week will tell me more. I am aiming for slimmer of the week this time and I am so focused on getting it.
So, this is my journey. Feel free to follow, stalk or comment

Hi wonderful people of Slimming World!
Wondering if someone an help, I normally do EE, and can't fathom much about Red and Green, but I think you get 2 lots of healthy Extras, if I list my food so far today, if it fitted with a green day could I be obscenely cheeky and have more Healthy extras, or would that screw my diet up?
So far I've had;
Breakfast: Weetabix (HeB) and milk (HeA)
Lunch: 1 banana. spinach and Quorn chicken fillet salad with a dollop of ketchup.
I think that fits in with a green day, but if someone can clarify those points for me I'd be forever in your debt!

Architecture Students Propose an Elaborate Lattice Work Bib to Protect Manhattan From Rising Sea Levels
Posted By Lori Zimmer On November 18, 2012 @ 11:00 am In Architecture,Climate Change | No Comments
According to Xu and Zhang, a lattice work of flowing membranes [7] would be draped around building bases and the ground. This membrane would be made of a material that reacts differently to different types of weather, being mostly effective when it rains, as it would soak up and divert water away from the surface. But the membrane would also have a function when it is dry out. Like a giant germination net, the membrane would be planted with trees and other greenery [8], acting as a soil substitute that could be stretched to different levels. The plants also act as a natural guard against flood water.
The architects are basing the membrane idea on the failure of the more concrete levee systems [9] in natural disasters. They feel that fluid, stretchable material is more apt to accommodate rising tides and divert them. By using spongy materials and creating marshes and other wetlands would help water slowly drain, rather than slam into the city all at once. Soft infrastructure [10] like manmade marshes have been discussed and explored by many architects post-Katrina, and many believe Manhattan could benefit [11] from this time of system along its coast line.
Xu and Zhang's bib idea may be a little out-there, but this type of alternative thinking can help New Yorkers find an innovative solution should climate change keep heating up our summers and increasing our sea levels — a problem that we very well know threatens many parts of New York.

PHOTOS: Moorings Park honors veterans at Patriotic Remembrance Celebration
NAPLES - The Moorings Park retirement Community held its 2011 Patriotic Remembrance Celebration, on Friday at 11 a.m. at the facility's Bower Chapel.
■ Get a complete listing of this weekend's Memorial Day events.
It was attended by over one hundred seniors from the community and other surrounding retirement centers. Veterans in attendance at the event were from the Second World War, Korea and Vietnam in addition to other conflicts of the world.
The event was highlighted by performances by the Fort Myers Symphonic Mastersingers ensemble, and keynote speaker Vice Mayor John Sorey. Also making presentations at the ceremony were Moorings Park CEO Dan Lavender and other senior staff members.
The Barron Collier High School Color Guard began and ended the program with the presentation and retirement of the United States and Florida Flags. In the conclusion of the event was a somber and quiet rendition of taps, by bugler Michael Santiago.
Keynote speaker Sorey, gave a history of the Memorial Day event which began through a proclamation by General John Logan of the Grand Army of The Republic in 1868.
The current Memorial Day holiday date was established in 1971 by Congress who made the holiday a three day weekend with the National Holiday Act. The history of the holiday has changed over the years from its original conception and practice. He also spoke of his days in Vietnam and the circumstances of his own losses during his war years. Many old friends were reunited for a brief time in remembrance of those who didn't make it home over the years.

This won't surprise you: Subaru's stand at next month's Tokyo Auto Salon will focus on its all-new sports coupe, featuring the recent BRZ Concept STI and a pair of new BRZ design studies.
Joining the sharpened BRZ concepts will be the first STI-enhanced version of the new Impreza, featuring a host of styling and handling upgrades.
Among the Impreza STI tweaks will be an all-round styling kit and rear-wing package, along with a sports exhaust, a flexible tower bar, lowered sports suspension and 18-inch aluminium wheels.
If that package comes to showrooms, the already-confirmed separation of the WRX and WRX STI badges from the Impreza line suddenly seems easier to come to terms with.
Details of the second BRZ concept have not been revealed, but showgoers can look forward to an up-close look at the BRZ Concept STI's pumped guards and giant rear wing, along with the new BRZ GT300 racer that will compete in the 2012 Super GT series.

Disagreement has derailed unity on three-person Railroad Commission
Every state agency in Texas must go under the legislative microscope every 10 years. The process is called Sunset Review, and it is conducted initially by the Sunset Advisory Commission that examines each agency and issues a report to the Legislature.
When the commission initially issued its report on the Texas Railroad Commission in 2011, many of the recommendations sounded as if they came from Washington rather than from Texas.
For example, the commission wanted the RRC to increase the fines on the oil and gas industry that it regulates.
The commission also recommended that the Legislature change the current governing board of three commissioners who are elected statewide to five commissioners appointed by the governor.
That idea never got off the ground.
It is important to note that the Railroad Commission, the primary regulatory agency over the oil and gas industry, is authorized in the Texas Constitution with three commissioners elected statewide. So, any change will have to be approved by the residents of Texas.
The Legislature could not finalize its remake of the RRC in 2011, so it is trying to resolve the issues again this year.
The number of commissioners came up again but instead of recommending five appointed commissioners, the Sunset Advisory Committee did a flip-flop. It recommended just one commissioner, who would be elected statewide. The single commissioner idea was in the Senate bill in 2011, but it never passed.
A twist on the single-commissioner concept surfaced again at the last conference of the Railroad Commission on March 26.
Chairman Barry Smitherman, who had just finished questioning Commissioner David Porter for 20 minutes about a report issued by the Eagle Ford Shale task force, was asked by Porter why he had been working on language that would create a "super chairman." The language calls for continuing the three elected commissioners but giving one of the three the authority to make policy decisions, such as hiring and firing.
Smitherman defended his action, but Commissioner Christi Craddick stepped in, saying, "I'm completely against it. "I'm somewhat offended, Barry. You've been shopping this proposal and handing it out without consulting the other two, which is exactly what the Legislature is offended (with) — that we don't have communication. I think that's the problem."
The issue came up again the next day in the House Energy Resources Committee as the three commissioners presented testimony. Rep. Tom Craddick (R-Midland), who is the father of Commissioner Christi Craddick, asked each of the three commissioners if they supported the "super commissioner" concept. Porter and Craddick said no, but Smitherman would not answer the question directly.
Smitherman's action have brought more attention to the process.
Now, the news media has picked up on the conflict between Smitherman and the other two commissioners. Stories have been written about the public disagreement, and Smitherman's strong cross examination of Porter regarding the Eagle Ford Shale task force report.
The Legislature has roughly 60 days remaining to sort out the future of one of the state's most important agencies.
Alex Mills is president of the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers but writes this column independent of that organization.

So I went on vacation without letting you know. I guess I am that sort of girl sometimes. I don't write. I don't call. Avoidant, some people may say. Writerly is what I like to call it. Well, here I am. But not promising anything. I really like you a lot, I just can't commit right now...
Here's the update on the book.
Done through Chapter 16. That is the end. The very end. Wrapped up and satisfactory. It has been commented on by the illustrious Andy. (I would link to his site but there is all sorts of nudity over there.) And I have a plan. Now on to the new beginning and back all they way through again. Argh! (Just kidding--I am actually so looking forward to this I can't wait to start.)
Do you want to see the pictures of my cabbage on my sister's blog-- go here. Scroll down and you'll see it. Isn't it pretty? I know they are too crammed together. I do that. When they are little seedlings I can't imagine that they will grow up and take space. So I pack them in. You should see my tomatoes. It's just another metaphor for the rest of my life. See this is why I can't commit. (If you saw the pictures that follow, the aftermath of the bath, that was at my house too, another good metaphor for my life.)
And, welcomes!!! Welcome to follower 10, Christy Raedeke of Juveneacence. You can see her new book cover over there. Doesn't it look spectacular?
And follower 11, Ron Smith. I have to read The Magicians because of him.
I'll be back (just not saying when).
As always(if only my husband read the blog, he'd be all over the Flight of the Conchords reference),
Tuesday, October 6, 2009
It's business time!

Congratulations on chapter 16!ReplyDelete
And on the cabbages.
I grew some lovely purple one's this year—and it's good to know that my overcrowded garden is a metaphor for life.
Pretty much anything serves as a metaphor for life as far as I'm concerned.ReplyDelete
And as far as I can tell from your blog you do cram it all in(animals, writing, cabbages, children) and it works!! What a good role model you are.
Thanks for the congratulations.
Nice job on the book. Are you rewriting the whole thing?ReplyDelete
No I already did that twice. But this last time the complications became clear, and now I have to build them backwards. This is the fun stuff.ReplyDelete
Nice job on your own book!!! Can't wait to see it.

How to Make a Hole in the Ground (Yes, There is a Right Way)
Okay, we'll admit that although last month's CNC-milled chair was awesome, the project was out of reach for many readers. So here's something you can build that doesn't require access to a $25,000 CNC machine. In fact, you'll need little more than a circular saw and a cordless drill.
My design is based on the rustic-but-comfy Westport plank chair, which evolved into today's Adirondack chair. Thomas Lee built the original in 1903 while on vacation in Westport, New York, in the Adirondack Park. Legend has it Lee used a single board from a pine tree he felled on his property. It must have been a big slab; most Westport plans require around four 10-inch-wide boards. But in keeping with the spirit of the legend, you can build this chair with just two 1-inch x 10-inch x 10-foot pieces of lumber. It should take you a couple of hours—which is how long our CNC-milled chair took. So, man versus machine? It's a tie.
Tools and Supplies: Circular saw / rafter square / bar clamps / cordless drill / two 1" x 10" x 10' boards of cedar or other weather-resistant lumber / 48 1½-inch exterior-grade wood screws
Materials List
• 2 Seatback 9¼" x 32"
• 2 Seat 9¼" x 20¼"
• 1 Front stretcher 5½" x 21¾" (beveled 30 degrees along one edge)
• 1 Back support 4" x 25¾" (beveled 30 degrees along one edge)
• 2 Front leg 4⅝" x 21¼"
• 2 Armrest 4⅝" x 28"
• 2 Rear leg 4⅝" x 32"
• 2 Arm support 3" x 11½" (tapered from 1½" to 3" along length)
As with most furniture projects, first cut out all the parts from the lumber. You'll then build subassemblies that combine to create the chair.
To make the narrower parts, it's more efficient to rip the entire board in one pass and then chop the pieces to length. But before you do, cut off a full-width piece measuring 25¾ inches. This isn't ripped in half; more on that later.
Rip the remaining piece down the middle so you're left with two boards a little under 4⅝ inches wide. To keep your cut line straight, use the other 10-foot board as a guide. Position this guide on top of the board so your saw's base plate runs along the guide's edge but the blade cuts through the middle of the board. For most saws that means setting the guide 1½ inches off-center. Attach the guide with a couple of screws; you can cut around the holes later.

Re: Where do I start?
I recommend starting with Rose since it really was meant to be watched by someone who had never watched Doctor Who before. Also, I'd hold off watching the classic era until after you're comfortably familiar. I didn't begin watching Classic Who until after season 5, though I provavky could have begun after season 4.

Ice Age: It just occured to me...
It just occured to me that according to Hollywoods current tradition, in 5-10 years there will be another Ice Age movie. But of course, it wont be part 5, but a re-boot. The movies were fun, but they were a bit too much fun, the studio will state. Movies, however, arent supposed to be all about fun, they also should make you feel more intelligent than you in fact might be.
So, in order to give the new instalment a grittier, more realistic look, the illusion of a hand-held camera will be created, and of course, there will be a massive use of blue or green filters, such as were used in films like "Minority Report" and "The Matrix". Obviously, none of the animals will be able to speak. At least, not English. The noises they will be making will be subtitled. The new film will concentrate on Mannys depressions and insecurities, Diegos feelings that he was born in a wrong body and would in fact much rather be a pigeon, the problematic situation in Sids family (social aspects, as well as the fact that he was the product of the forbidden love between his father and his aunt) and, naturally, Scrats traumatic experience as a child that caused him to be dependent on nuts. Everybody will be calling it a masterpiece and claiming that this should have been the right way to do it from the start, back then, in 2002.

Ice Age 4 made over $800 million so I doubt they will reboot it.
They will more than likely make a fifth one.

Ice Age wasn't Disney or even Dreamworks quality (mostly), but it had heart and it was a brilliant movie.
The second film felt like movie-maker salary gold. It was made for the sake of it, and I didn't much enjoy it aside from a few odd gags.
The third film abandoned the 'heart' aspect of the original, tried to add something bizarrely new and was actually quite funny in parts. Nothing amazing, but worth a watch.
The fourth felt like that movie-maker salary pay dirt again. It wasn't as bad as the second was, but had deviated too far from the original concept too much I think.
In a way these films remind me quite a bit of the Madagascar franchise. Neither offers an amazing original film, but they do enough to consider a watch now and again (in my opinion, Ice Age is superior). The sequels then deviate so much just to make them happen that even the title of the series is made slightly redundant - Madagascar 3 doesn't even feature the island in question, and neither did the second.

Superfund National Accomplishments Summary Fiscal Year 2005 As of November 22, 2005
EPA's Superfund Program obligated $524 million to perform construction and post-construction activities and to conduct and oversee emergency response actions.
- Obligated $404 million in appropriated funds, State cost-share contributions, and potentially responsible party settlement resources for construction and post-construction projects.
- Obligated $120 million to conduct more than 400 emergency response and removal actions to address immediate and substantial threats to communities.
EPA funded new construction
- Obligated nearly $70 million in appropriated funds, State cost-share contributions, and potentially responsible party settlement resources for 17 new construction projects ranked by the National Risk-Based Priority Panel at 15 National Priorities List (NPL) sites.
Superfund is working on hundreds of construction projects
- Conducted or oversaw 665 ongoing construction projects (by EPA, potentially responsible parties, and federal facilities) at 422 sites. Federal facilities accounted for 220 of these ongoing projects.
- Completed construction phase of cleanup at 40 sites across the country for a total of 966 or 62% of the sites on the NPL.
The Superfund remedial program prepared for future cleanup efforts
- Listed 18 new sites on the NPL, and proposed 12 sites for the NPL.
Obligated more than $214 million in appropriated funds, State cost-share contributions, and potentially responsible party settlement resources to conduct and oversee:
- Site assessments and investigations
- Selection and design of cleanup plans
- Support for State, Tribal, community involvement activities, and other activities.
- Selected final cleanup plans at 39 sites, including 5 federal facilities sites. This brings the cumulative total of sites with final cleanup plans to approximately 67% of 1547 NPL sites.
Superfund ensures the protection of human health and the environment after construction is complete
- Conducted 247 Five-Year Reviews, including 27 Reviews at federal facilities sites. These Reviews are conducted to ensure that protective measures for waste that has been secured on-site remain intact.
- Deleted 18 sites, including 1 federal facility, and partially deleted 5 sites from the NPL.
Superfund actively promotes community involvement
- In 2005, EPA participated on 131 active Restoration Advisory Boards (RABs) and Site Specific Advisory Boards (SSABs) at Department of Defense (DoD) or Department of Energy facilities (DOE), respectively, on the NPL. RABs and SSABs provide a forum for concerned stakeholders and community members to provide input on DoD's and DOE's environmental activities at individual facilities.
- Underscoring EPA's commitment to the "polluter pays" principle, the Agency secured private party funding commitments of more than $1.1 billion in Fiscal Year 2005. Of this amount, potentially responsible parties agreed to conduct more than $857 million in future response work, and to reimburse EPA for $248 million in past costs.
Superfund faces constraints
- In Fiscal Year 2005, 50 percent of Superfund obligations for construction and post-construction activities went to 11 sites.
- Due to EPA's priority to fund ongoing work, less funding was available for new construction projects, and EPA did not have enough resources to fund 9 new construction projects evaluated by the National Priority Panel and that were ready for construction.

As a historian of twentieth century American social movements, I explore how movement culture shapes the political achievements and personal lives of rank-and-file activists. My first book, A New Dawn for the New Left: Liberation News Service, Montague Farm, and the Long Sixties (New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2013), examines the interstices between sexual liberation, counterculture, antinuclear activism, and Marxism to argue that the prominent utopian impulse of the late New Left reshaped American political culture during the 1970s.
My concern with the intersection between ideology and practice in American social movements has now led me to explore how pacifists have alternately employed mainstream and alternative gender ideals to promote peace activism. Because pacifists have long argued for a radical reappraisal of American militarism, they have confronted challenging dilemmas about how far they should push alternative gender roles. That dilemma has led pacifists to advocate wildly divergent views of how women and men should contribute to American society in the twentieth century.
Teaching Philosophy:
My major goal as an instructor is to teach students how to understand their nation and culture in historical perspective. That begins by teaching them the basic skills of historical analysis. I model how to think historically by developing lectures that employ the skills I expect students to perform in written work. My lectures emphasize student interaction—through pair-and-shares, youth polls, role-playing, or silent conversation—to spur active learning and to practice analytical skills in class. But all my courses balance lectures with seminars that are more focused on crafting specific skills, especially the critical use of primary sources.

Where can those shoes that Oregon was wearing.:)
By Andy Staples, SI.com
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Wes Byrum, who has been making game-winning kicks for Auburn since 2007, had two simple thoughts Monday night as he lined up a field goal shorter than an extra point.
Just make the kick. Just put it through.
"Fortunately," Byrum said, "that was a nice short one."
No, it was a huge one.
Byrum's 19-yarder as time expired lifted Auburn to a 22-19 win against Oregon and the second national title in school history. The Tigers, picked in the preaseason near the bottom of the Top 25, ended a controversial, thrilling campaign with orange and blue confetti raining on them at University of Phoenix Stadium.
Cam Newton, the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback who played through an NCAA investigation that has yet to end, smiled and ran to celebrate with the Auburn fans. Nick Fairley, the defensive tackle who rocketed to stardom amid accusations of dirty play, was named the defensive MVP after making several huge plays -- including a fourth-down stop on the goal line.
A game that was supposed to be dominated by offense turned into a defensive struggle until the final two heartstopping scoring drives.
Down eight, Oregon got the ball back for one last try when linebacker Casey Matthews forced a Newton fumble. The Ducks faced fourth-and-five from their own 40, but Darron Thomas hit D.J. Davis for a 29-yard gain. Three plays later, LaMichael James scored on a two-yard shovel pass from Thomas. After catching a bad snap, Thomas ran right, threw left and hit a leaping Jeff Maehl for the two-point conversion to tie the score at 19.
But Auburn still had time. Freshman tailback Michael Dyer appeared to be tackled by Oregon rover Eddie Pleasant, but Dyer rolled over Pleasant without his knee touching the ground and kept running for a 37-yard gain."I thought he was down," offensive lineman Byron Isom said. "I stopped. He kept going."
Later, Dyer carried to the one. Newton took a knee with two seconds remaining to set up Byrum's kick.
The offenses weren't always so productive. Oregon's first sign of offensive life came in the second quarter when Thomas hit Maehl for an 81-yard gain that set up an eight-yard touchdown pass from Thomas to James. A two-point conversion gave Oregon an 11-7 lead.
Auburn then moved 68 yards in 15 plays and seemed poised to take the lead on a goal-line plunge, but the Ducks stuffed Newton on third-and-goal, and Newton short-armed a pass to a wide-open Eric Smith.
When Oregon took over on downs, Auburn's defense took over the game. An illegal motion penalty wiped out a nine-yard pass to Kenjon Barner and left Oregon backed up against its own goal line. On the next play, Auburn defensive tackle Mike Blanc dragged down James in the end zone for a safety. Auburn took the ball and took the lead less than two minutes later on a 30-yard touchdown pass from Newton to Emory Blake.
Newton capped a controversial season Monday. Reports broke on Nov. 5 that Newton's father, Cecil, used a middleman to pitch a pay-for-play scheme to coaches at Mississippi State. The NCAA investigated and found those allegations to be true, but since it was never proven that Newton knew of his father's actions, an NCAA committee ruled on Dec. 1 that Newton was eligible to play. The following Saturday, Newton led the Tigers to the SEC title with a win against South Carolina. A week later, Newton won the Heisman Trophy. Cecil Newton did not attend the ceremony.
Those who attended Monday's game saw a sloppy affair turn into a thriller in the final moments. As Byrum's toe met leather, the Ducks flew over Auburn's blockers. The ball went through the uprights, and Oregon's Pleasant and Casey Matthews sank to their knees at the five-yard line. Byrum ran toward midfield, where he was swallowed by a celebration befitting the biggest win in Auburn history.
Kudos to Oregon for converting that 2-point conversion- I'll admit Darron Thomas didn't have his greatest game, but Cam Newton didn't either. The reason I'm commenting is to say that I'm ticked that just because Auburn barely won the media is saying the SEC is that more awesome- The Pac-10 is way better.
Go Ducks!
I was rooting for the Ducks but they lost :( that was a crazy start with like 3 picks in the first 4 possessions. i think the ducks have a cooler mascot it's fun to say go ducks. what's with the war eagle, i thought auburn was the Tigers, their mascot was a sad looking tiger but a tiger none the less. i'm confused.
The eagle is a tradition that supposedly dates back to the first Auburn game:Auburn vs. Georgia. Supposedly there was a Civil War general who had an eagle at the game. When Auburn won, the eagle flew around the field and dropped dead. That's why they say "War Eagle". Aubie does some pretty funny stuff, in his defense. But I have to ask, what's with the push ups? Why does the duck do push ups? Is there a story behind that? Not saying it's bad, just curious.

15* AL Tuesday Total ANNIHILATOR on A's/Blue Jays UNDER 9.5
15* AL Tuesday Total ANNIHILATOR on A's/Blue Jays UNDER 9.5
Oakland vs. Toronto, 07/24/2012 19:07 EDT, Score: 7 - 2
Total: -120/+9½ Under
Sportsbook: BETONLINE
Result: Win
Oddsmakers have set the bar way too high tonight in this game between the Oakland A's and Toronto Blue Jays. Oakland has one of the best staffs in baseball, but it doesn't score many runs. Toronto remains without its best player in Jose Bautista, who is on the DL.
The A's are hitting just .228 and scoring 3.8 runs/game this season. The UNDER is 5-1 in their last 6 games overall as the A's and their opponents have combined for 9 runs or less in all six contests.
Travis Blackley is 2-2 with a 3.40 ERA and 1.091 WHIP in eight starts this season for Oakland. While Brett Cecil (2-2, 6.34 ERA) has struggled this year for Toronto, he'll be up against a team he has owned tonight. The left-hander is 2-2 with a 2.79 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in four career starts against Toronto.
The UNDER is 21-8 in A's last 29 games overall. The UNDER is 5-0 in Blackley's last 5 starts as an underdog. The UNDER is 6-0 in Blue Jays last 6 when their opponent scores 5 runs or more in their previous game. The UNDER is 7-0 in Blue Jays last 7 after allowing 5 runs or more in their previous game. These last three trends make for an 18-0 system backing the UNDER. Take the UNDER in his game Tuesday.

NATHAN S. WHITFORD was born in Brookfield, N.Y., August 4, 1854. His great-great-grandfather was Joshua Whitford, a native of Connecticut, who settled in Rensselaer County, at a place now called Berlin. His great-grandfather was also named Joshua, and was born in 1765. He was one of the earliest known settlers of Madison County, having bought a tract of land here in 1794. This place is still owned by his descendants. The grandfather, William Whitford, was from Berlin, and came with his father to Brookfield, where he was reared to agricultural pursuits, and where he resided until his death. The father of our subject was Silas Whitford. He was born in the town of Brookfield, and followed agricultural pursuits on the old home farm until his death, in 1892. His wife was Mary, daughter of Nathan Birch, of Rhode Island. They reared seven children--Charlotte, William J., Caroline B., Orson, Mina, Nathan, and Mary.

William Foley, 84, of Grosse Pointe Park, says he won't back down on any violation of his rights that comes his way. His federal lawsuit stems from unsafe water and unsafe elevators he claimed he found in senior apartment buildings he used to live in in Oakland County.
- Filed Under
At 84, William Foley has a bad boy reputation - and he's proud of it.
The feisty senior has been arrested numerous times in recent years - five times in 2011 alone - over various issues: trespassing, disturbing the peace, and once swiping a cucumber away from a Kroger manager who, he claims, was "threatening to poke me in the eye with it." He also served a jail stint alongside ex-University of Michigan basketball star Jalen Rose, who got 16 days for drunken driving.
But Foley's troubles had nothing to do with booze. ...

Boulder attorney Andrew Reid of the law firm Springer & Steinberg, on behalf of Nederland area resident Kathleen Chippi and the Patient and Caregiver Rights Litigation Project (PCRLP), has filed an amicus curiae ("friend of the court") brief to the Colorado Supreme Court containing arguments that might finally end the doctrine that that federal law overrides state medical marijuana laws. In a bold contention, Reid claims that medical marijuana is not covered by the federal Controlled Substances Act (CSA), because Congress never intended it to be.
The Colorado Supreme Court's review of this issue, in the case of Coats v. Dish Network, should bring much-needed clarity to the rights of medical marijuana patients in Colorado. If successful, Reid and Chippi claim that their arguments could have a national impact by stopping the federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) from prosecuting medical marijuana use and distribution in all states where these activities are protected by local law.
Brandon Coats, a paralyzed medical marijuana patient, was fired from his job at Dish Network after testing positive for THC on a random drug screening. Coats, through his attorney Michael Evans, argued that since he was a legal medical marijuana patient under the Colorado Constitution, his offduty use of medical marijuana was covered under the "Colorado Lawful Off-Duty Activities Statute" (CLODAS). Therefore Dish Network could not legally fire him.
The Colorado Court of Appeals ruled that Coats' use of medical marijuana is not covered by CLODAS, even though medical marijuana is protected in the state Constitution, because marijuana is illegal under federal law.
The Coats' case highlights the doctrine of "federal preemption," which means that federal law usually overrides or "preempts" state law. Federal preemption is at the heart of thousands of cases throughout the country where the federal government has prosecuted medical marijuana patients for activity that is legal under their own state laws.
In his amicus brief, Reid attacks the issue of federal preemption at its core by presenting a novel legal theory. He argues that the U.S. Congress never intended to ban medical marijuana when they listed marijuana in the federal CSA. When the CSA was enacted in 1970,
Congress listed marijuana as a Schedule 1 drug, meaning it has a "high potential for abuse" and "no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States." However, its listing was supposed to be only temporary, until the Nixon administration's National Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse (also known as the Shafer Commission) could complete its investigation into the harm and benefits of marijuana.
When the Commission released its final report on marijuana in 1972, they found that marijuana was safe and recommended that it be decriminalized altogether. Nixon, of course, chose to ignore those findings and instead officially started the War on Drugs (which Chippi calls "the longest-running war in U.S. history".)
According to Reid, the issue of whether medical marijuana should be included in the CSA along with nonmedical use of marijuana was never properly decided. Reid writes: "A decision upon the temporary scheduling of cannabis in Schedule I has never been made by the Attorney General as required by the CSA, although over 40 years have passed since it was first listed."
Constitutional law is Reid's specialty, and he has been studying the issue of federal preemption as it relates to medical marijuana for years. Although other cases have argued federal preemption with regards to medical marijuana, Reid claims that his arguments are unique and that this is a case of "first impression" for the Colorado Supreme Court. Reid writes, "Neither the United States Supreme Court, this Court, nor any other high court has as yet engaged in a proper and full Preemption Doctrine analysis to determine whether the Congress, the drafters of the federal CSA, ever intended to include state recognized medical uses of marijuana in the CSA's Schedule 1 listing of marijuana, or whether the listing was intended to be limited to non-medical uses."
Reid contends that patients will be harmed if the Court of Appeals ruling in the Coats case "that federal CSA criminalization of marijuana covers the lawful use and possession of medical marijuana under state law" is allowed to stand. Reid maintains that dozens of "occupations, occupational licenses, permits, and state benefits" will be denied to thousands of legal medical marijuana patients because "their possession and consumption of their medication" would be considered illegal.
Reid says that it is only because of the "largesse" of President Obama that thousands of patients and medical marijuana providers are not being prosecuted for federal marijuana crimes. "In two years when we have a new president, the current federal leniency on medical marijuana could easily end," he says.
The Colorado Supreme Court is expected to rule by July. The amicus brief can be found online at www. CannabisLawsuits.com.
— Laura Kriho is a member of the Cannabis Press Association.
FYI: Thanks for the article on the PCRLP amicus brief in Coats v. DISH Network. The sad fact of the matter is that the cannabis business advertisements surrounding it have not contributed a penny in the legal fight for their own customers. The people/organizations that have NOT donated at cannabislawsuits.com or filed an amicus brief of their own in this case to try to improve the legal situation in Colorado: NORML, DPA, Sensible, SAFER, DPA, ASA, ACLU, MMIG, Brian VIcente, Mason Tvert, Michael Elliott or ANY of the dispensaries. If all of those dispensaries with full page ads would have spent their advertising money for *one week* on litigation, we could have the problems SOLVED in Colorado. If you know anyone in these organizations, or if you shop in a dispensary, it's your job to ask them why they have not donated, especially. considering it is to save their own businesses/customers.
Reid's amicus brief makes what seems a solid case that Congress did not intend to place cannabis on Schedule 1 except on a provisional basis, and that its present Federal categorization is illegal. I agree with Kathleen; if employers may fire patients for their use of cannabis at home because it is Federally illegal, then the State cannot collect taxes on the sale of cannabis, because paying them amounts to self-incrimination (decided in Leary v. U.S.). If Dish v. Coats stands, Gov. Hack is not just a "drug kingpin", but a "super drug kingpin"; under Federal law, as the principal administrator of a continuing criminal enterprise taking in over $10 million in gross receipts off the sale of an illegal drug, Hack is subject to a sentence of life in Federal prison without possibility of parole.

THE WOMAN UPSTAIRS by Claire Messud
The eponymous title of this penetrating and artful novel refers to third-grade schoolteacher and unfulfilled artist Nora Eldridge, who has lived in the Boston area her whole life. It is also the book's principal motif, surfacing periodically to describe Nora's various attributes as an uncharacteristically plain woman, a woman who doesn't rock any boats or shine like a supernova– one who is always nice, mannerly, and unthreatening to others. Essentially, anonymous and invisible. Nora has previously accepted this about herself, living up to the part with emblematic virtuosity.

MOONLIGHT MILE by Dennis Lehane
In 1998, private investigators Patrick Kenzie and Angie Gennaro were hired to find a missing four-year-old girl named Amanda McCready. Even though she was raised by an unfit mother, Amanda has miraculously grown into a self-possessed, mature, and highly intelligent sixteen-year-old. However, suddenly Amanda disappears, and her Aunt Beatrice begs Patrick to find her again. He does not jump at the offer, partly because he has enough on his plate. Patrick and Angie, who are married and the doting parents of a precocious little girl, are deeply in debt. Angie isn't working and Patrick desperately needs full-time employment with health benefits. However, the one position he has a chance of landing is with a company whose executives value the bottom line above morality; Patrick has done jobs for them that left him feeling tarnished.

You could classify THE DANTE CLUB loosely as historical fiction. Or perhaps, try historical-fantasy-fiction-literary-murder-mystery.

FAITH by Jennifer Haigh
Jennifer Haigh exerts a sublime spin on the unreliable narrator in this probing, poignant saga of an Irish-American family hailing from Boston's South End. Sheila McGann, the central narrator, left Boston and her Catholic faith years ago while her family stayed in "Southie." The cardinal premise is the question of whether her half-brother, Art, a once esteemed and trusted but now disgraced and defrocked parish priest, is really guilty of the alleged sexual abuse of a child. This is 2002, when the Archdiocese of Boston is in the whir of sexual scandal—the exposure of crimes of pedophilia.

Let's not lie to ourselves. Some of these are creepy hot.
A grating musical number is already a foregone conclusion.
'The Three Stooges' cast – Will Sasso, Sean Hayes, the recently confirmed Chris Diamantopoulos – are all TV actors. Now that will change. *Thunder*
'The Three Stooges' reboot was at one time going to be headlined by movie stars like Jim Carrey and Benicio Del Toro. Now it's a bunch of 90's TV stars.
This surely won't ruffle any feathers.
The Farrelly brothers cast Jane Lynch. Who do they think they are, Judd Apatow?
