Hatch's 'radicals' harmful
Christian 24-7 Murray, UTJan. 15, 2013 3:58 p.m.
Hatch's whole campaign was about getting power, not about conservatism.
1 vs 5. So who is the out of touch radical?
There was a more conservative candidate on the ballot, from the constitution party, named Shaun McCausland.
If you want to shape politics beyond just waiting to vote for whomsoever the parties put up, you have to get involved with some party and shape the nominations. Registering as non-affiliated, or choosing not to actively participate in your chosen party is not an excuse, it is a choice. You own it.
Flashback Kearns, UTJan. 15, 2013 1:31 p.m.
Mike, Hatch is not a doctrinair Republican. He does have a pragmatic streak and he thinks about the good of the whole, instead of the good of the few. He knows more about the Constitution that you will ever know and in my opinion, understands it better.
While I haven't always agreed with some of the things that Hatch has done, he has done much to keep the Democrats from totally giving away the farm on may issues. He largely kept Ted Kennedy in line. Most of the problem lately has been with "moderate/liberal" Republicans (Snow, Spector, Hagel, etc). Hatch is no moderat/progressive like you accuse him of being. He's conservative in the Ronald Reagan vein.
RedShirt USS Enterprise, UTJan. 15, 2013 12:58 p.m.
To "Open Minded Mormon" tell us, what was the option to Hatch? Did we have a more conservative person available in the general election? Was there a person who better represented Utah during the general election?
You and your ilk would have put in the most liberal canidate available. Would that have represented Utah or not? Is Utah a liberal or conservative state?
Since I am not registered Republican, I could not do anything during the primary election.
Again, are we to elect somebody who represents the state as a whole, or do we elect somebody based on your criteria alone?
homebrew South Jordan, UTJan. 15, 2013 9:34 a.m.
Utah is a red state. Demcrats are almost extinct in this state. Utah sends people like Chafftez, Lee and Hatch to washington, where they do nothing except waste time. The nation or the state should not be ran with a 1 party rule. Corruption is sure to follow,( John Swallow) with no accountability being had by the party in power. Untill the voters in this state wake up and send these guys packing, like our republican state legislators, the state will continue to be dead last in education spending, and first in ignorance.
Open Minded Mormon Everett, 00Jan. 15, 2013 9:24 a.m.
@J Thompson
Ever notice how boarish some people are when they pretend to have knowledge about something that is none of their business. One poster claimed he "knew" how another poster voted. How does he know? Was he there?
So you don't like Senator Hatch, we get it.
But I gotta ask the same question as Mike and RedShirt....
Why did YOU vote for him?
Mike Richards South Jordan, UtahJan. 15, 2013 8:59 a.m.
It seems that everybody is willing to give Hatch a pat on the back for voting to put each of us, man, woman and child, in debt to the government $50,000. That's right. The $16,000,000,000,000 deficit comes to $50,000 per person. That's the problem. Hatch ignores it, even though he campaigned to stop the spending, even though he campaigned to oppose Obama's budget policies.
He caved.
He caved the first time he had an opportunity to vote. He caved after having just six minutes to read a 150 page bill. He caved without knowing what he was voting for. He caved without thinking what he was doing to you and me and every other Utahn. He caved to political pressure.
Four of his fellow Congressmen had the courage to stand for the principles of Utah. Even Jim Matheson voted against that bill. When four honorable men vote one way and one man votes the other way, what does that tell us about Hatch? Is he the "radical"? Is he the "rebel", or is he just someone who cares about Orrin Hatch?
He thumbed his nose at his fellow Congressmen and everything that they stand for.
UtahBlueDevil Durham, NCJan. 15, 2013 5:43 a.m.
I have no doubt that Hatch doesn't represent Mr. Richards. I have no problem. I am sure he doesn't represent a lot of people. But unlike Mr. Richards opinion, Hatch does represent Utah... and he represents a lot of Uthans who consider themselves just as much as conservatives as Mr. Richards - just not Mr. Richards brand of conservatism.
It is all fine and good for anyone to have an opinion. It is grand to express that opinion. But it goes a bit beyond that to declare that Hatch doesn't represent this state, any of its people, or the constitution of this country. Hatch may not express Mr. Richards views, but it is safe to say Mr. Richards is not the arbitrator of what is or is not constitutional, or conservative. Opinions yes.... authority.... no so much.
Bike Mikes voice is worthy of listening to, as is anyones voice.
red state pride Cottonwood Heights, UTJan. 14, 2013 9:17 p.m.
There is no doubt in my mind that if Hatch had lost in his primary he would not have thrown his support behind the Republican nominee a la Richard Lugar in Indiana. It doesn't really bother me that Hatch voted for the McConnell deal. I think it was smart to do that. But why make comments attacking the alleged "far right"? Is it going to be the tea party's fault when countries start dumping the dollar as their reserve currency and it all collapses? When it all falls apart though I'm sure Senator Hatch will be jetting away on a Gulfstream with Pelosi, Durbin, Schumer et al to warm latitudes far from the chaos that ensues.
Mike Richards South Jordan, UtahJan. 14, 2013 9:06 p.m.
Wouldn't it be nice to just pat Hatch on the back and forgive him for putting me, my family, and my grandchildren $1,800,000 in debt to pay for the programs that he authorized as a Senator.
He is worthy of every bit of contempt shown him because he treats us as if we were all fools. "Uncle Orrin" may think that he is benevolent, but he has bankrupted us. We will never be able to pay off his and his friends' pork barrel projects.
He embodies everything that is wrong with the Senate. He promised to keep Obama from spending. The FIRST vote that he cast was to allow Obama to have unlimited spending.
What do you call a man who does that? It certainly is not "friend of the people". Utah cannot afford him. America cannot afford him. If YOU can afford him, show us that you've paid in full the $50,000 that you now owe to the government because of the government's spending spree. After you've paid your bill in full, then we'll listen. Until then, please tell us just who you expect to pay your portion of the deficit.
glendenbg Salt Lake City, UTJan. 14, 2013 4:50 p.m.
@Mike Richards - I don't agree with Orrin Hatch on much of anything. I do not believe it is accurate to say he mocks the state of Utah, the people of Utah or the US Constitution.
I have had the opportunity to meet with Sen. Hatch about various issues. He is very conservative, but deeply respectful of Utahns and our opinions; he is truly concerned about the well being of the people of Utah, the state of Utah and the United States of America. He takes seriously his role as our representative in the Senate and his oath of office. I don't agree with his policies but I respect him and I believe your characterization of him does not conform to the reality of his words or behaviors.
We can disagree with one another's policy positions and politics without resorting to extreme rhetoric.
J Thompson SPRINGVILLE, UTJan. 14, 2013 3:03 p.m.
Ever notice how boarish some people are when they pretend to have knowledge about something that is none of their business. One poster claimed he "knew" how another poster voted. How does he know? Was he there? Is it possible that Mike Richards wrote in Dan Lindquist? Is it possible that Mike didn't vote for that office? Is it possible that someone is so desperate to prove the unprovable that he would ASSUME something when he has absolutely no facts to support his claim?
Hatch is a disgrace to Utah. He is a disgrace to anyone who trusted him. He is a disgrace to his party. He lied about how he would act as a Senator. As others have said, Hatch is taking a page out of Obama's play book and blaming others for his own failures. None of his spending has helped America. None of his bluster and bravado has helped Utah. We already have seen what he thinks of "integrity".
We can be certain that he will do exactly has he has done for the past thrity-six years and that is to ignore the needs of Utah as he feathers his own bed.

Hutterite: "I hope the GOP gets closer to the tea party."
Of course you do. Liberals and their cohorts in the media have successfully convinced a large part of the American public that the tea party is a radical group. Instead of a legitimate protest group against abusive government power made up of ordinary citizens, it is often viewed as radical as the OWS crowd. A complete farce in my opinion.
In fact, I'll bet a large number of liberal commenters on this site think that the OWS crowd is more "normal" than the tea party.
LDS Liberal Farmington, UTJan. 14, 2013 1:37 p.m.
Mike Richards --
1. You are a devote Republican, and have by your own admission stated you vote for the party, and not the person.
2. You have never denied it.
3. Your comments by themselves are telling.
So, Why did YOU vote for him?
RedShirt --
Stop playing Spin-Doctor.
Same Question...
So, Why did YOU vote for him?
Guess What ---
I didn't vote for him.
I have integrity.
Hutterite American Fork, UTJan. 14, 2013 1:03 p.m.
I hope the GOP gets closer to the tea party.
Mike Richards South Jordan, UtahJan. 14, 2013 12:45 p.m.
There was one person in the voting booth when I cast my ballot and that person was me. No one, including members of my family watched me vote. Hatch was not there. My wife was not there. Not one other person was there.
In communist Russia, everyone could see whether you voted with a "white marble" or whether you voted with a "black marble". This is not Russia, yet there are those who belittle citizenship by mocking those who vote. Insecure people mock others. Bullies mock others. Tyrants mock others. Christ and his followers don't mock.
Hatch was elected to represent the State of Utah. He was elected to represent the interests of Utah. He was elected to uphold the Constitution.
He does not uphold the Constitution.
He does not represent the State of Utah.
He does not represent the interests of Utah.
Utah is the most conservative state in the nation. Hatch should be one of the two most conservative Senators in the nation. He MOCKS the people of Utah. He MOCKS the State of Utah. He MOCKS the Constitution that he is duty bound to uphold.
RedShirt USS Enterprise, UTJan. 14, 2013 12:19 p.m.
I think that the letter is wrong. The radicals in the GOP are the Progressives that have taken control. Unfortunately Hatch often sides with those Progressives.
If you look at the vote last election, the majority of Republicans voted for the canidate that most reflected the Tea Party conservative ideas. The radical Progressives opposed him, and tried to stop his canidacy.
The radicals are the ones trying to brand themselves as different than the Democrats while taking the US to the same Socialist destination.
Mike in Cedar City Cedar City, UtahJan. 14, 2013 10:18 a.m.
Mike R. I think Hatch would say you are part of the problem. And Hatch was not the only Republican that voted for spending that "have Bankrupted" America. There were a whole bunch of sole called convervatives that joined in on that during the Bush years and sadly some democrats as well.

Hatch cares about Hatch. He lied during his campaign. He lied during his thirty-six years in the Senate. He IS the problem.
Why did YOU vote for him?
Mike Richards South Jordan, UtahJan. 14, 2013 9:10 a.m.
Hatch cares about Hatch. He lied during his campaign. He lied during his thirty-six years in the Senate. He IS the problem. He voted for the spending bills that have bankrupted America. Now, he joins with Obama in blaming people other than himself for the problem.
He lied to us - intentionally. He promised us that he would stop the excessive spending. His first vote after the election was to increase spending and to pass as much of that cost onto a small percent of Americans.
Maybe he can tell us just where in the Constitution he is allowed to redistribute wealth from one segment of society to another. I can't find that provision. There is no mention of "graduated taxes" in the Constitution, but there is mention of equal responsibility to pay taxes based on population - not on ability to pay.
He lied to us about his intentions and now he mocks those who demand that elected officials abide by the rules set by the people. All government in America operates by the will of the people. No government in America has rights independent of the rights allocated to it by the people.
Hatch ignores that restriction.

It is with great disappointment that we announce that Heritage College and Heritage Institute are permanently closing on November 1, 2016. The closure will affect all 10 campuses.
Heritage College educated students for health care careers for 30 years, and this is very difficult news for everyone affected particularly our students, teachers, and staff.
The reason for the campus closures is that Heritage does not have the cash to continue to run its business. Numerous factors contributed to the circumstances including declining student population and a continued, decreased demand for the services of for-profit schools. Heritage did not close due to wrongdoing or a forced closure by a regulatory body, and we did explore a range of options that would have enabled the campuses to remain open serving students. Unfortunately, the options were not viable and our efforts proved unsuccessful.
We thank our faculty, staff and, mostly, our students. They had the courage to pursue a new career path and we were honored to help them achieve their goals.
Please send inquiries to: firstname.lastname@example.com
For questions regarding student loan forgiveness please look here: https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/repay-loans/forgiveness-cancellation

A pocket-size drone dubbed the Nano Hummingbird for the way it flaps its tiny robotic wings has been developed for the Pentagon by a Monrovia, Calif., company as a mini-spy plane capable of maneuvering on the battlefield and in urban areas.
The battery-powered drone was built by AeroVironment for the Pentagon's research arm as part of a series of experiments in nanotechnology. The little flying machine is built to look like a bird for potential use in spy missions.
The Hummingbird is the result of a five-year effort, announced Thursday by the company and the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
Equipped with a camera, the drone can fly at speeds of up to 11 mph, AeroVironment said. It can hover and fly sideways, backward and forward, as well as go clockwise and counterclockwise, by remote control for about eight minutes.
The quick flight meets the goals set forth by the government to build a flying "hummingbird-like" aircraft. It also demonstrates the promise of fielding mini-spy planes. Industry insiders see the technology eventually being capable of flying through open windows or sitting on power lines, capturing audio and video while enemies would be none the wiser.
With a wingspan of 6.5 inches, the mini-drone weighs just over half an ounce, or less than a AA battery. The Hummingbird's guts are made up of motors, communications systems and a videocamera. It is slightly larger than the average hummingbird.
For now, the Hummingbird is just a prototype, Matt Keennon, the company's manager on the project, said. But 10 years from now, he sees the technology carrying out detailed reconnaissance missions.
But it's not likely to be a "hummingbird," considering that that's a rare bird in, say, New York City.
"I'm not a bird expert, but a sparrow seems to be better," Keennon said.

-Andy Rooney-
I only saw bits and pieces but I love Val's attitude. Winning against the weakest dancer proves nothing. To be the best you have to beat the best, or in this case someone who at least presents a challenge.
Sheldon Cooper: Woman, you're playing with forces beyond your ken
Penny: Yeah, well your Ken can kiss my Barbie.
Every week it looks more and more like Zendaya and Kellie for the final....And Val and Derek are both excellent, so this could be a real toss up in the end....
Loved Jacoby's lifts in his salsa! They were fabulous! 27 was fair!
That's all I got around to watching ....I'll catch the rest on the review show!
Keep your feet on the ground, when your heads in the clouds!
First of all, I think CarriAnn was horrible tonight. She started off with a tacky comment that Brooke said, "A lady shouldn't say," and I agree because she made herself look foolish, not funny. And, then how rude she was to Kellie was ridiculous. Just because Kellie is sweet and timid doesn't mean she shouldn't be spoken to with some respect. Could you imagine if someone talked to CariAnn that way? She would practically stop the show over the cow she would have! It is also becoming more and more obvious of her lack of knowledge with the actual dance steps this season. She has obviously never taken ballroom dance herself and doesn't understand it that well. You can see Len's frustration at times when she makes comments that are obviously uninformed. I imagine that could be frustrating for the pros who have danced all of their lives.
Secondly, it really seems like Val has a stick up his butt this season too. He got all huffy when there was an internet contest to see who the viewers wanted to pick as a pro dancer to do that special dance. He practically insulted the viewers by saying it didn't matter who we like because they all work hard. And, I think his shots at Mark tonight were low-blows. It was extremely painful to even see Mark's face because of how much pain he was in. So, they picked Andy - someone was going to have to. And, there was no need to ridicule Ally, who is just a teenage girl for picking Andy and winning. He was being a pompous ass and had a superior attitude about the whole thing. I wish Karena had given him the rhumba, but she was too busy kissing his butt. What did that get her? A loss.
If the judges were favoring Kellie and Derek so much, they would have given them three 10's, not a 29. But, they left the door open for Val and Zendaya to get a 30 because she is capable of it. It was their own fault that they didn't accomplish that. Maybe that is what his real problem was tonight. Sour grapes and a big ol' baby because they didn't win like he thought they would (he's just so intense, you know). And, what a sense of humor! Brooke asks him if he is intense eating breakfast. A total opening for a joke. Intense cereal or pancakes. But, Mr. No Personality just says that no, he's not intense over breakfast. I hope this guy writes a book because the gems coming out of his mouth are too good to not be memorialized forever!
I missed that. I saw him being irritated with Brooke but didn't know about the contest. Who won that?Secondly, it really seems like Val has a stick up his butt this season too. He got all huffy when there was an internet contest to see who the viewers wanted to pick as a pro dancer to do that special dance. He practically insulted the viewers by saying it didn't matter who we like because they all work hard.
He is new so it makes sense that an older favorite pro would have been chosen.
Val won that contest, he thanked the fans, but he said the focus should be on the celebrities and that all the pros are great, no one pro should be centered out. I like that approach.
I was disappointed in the scoring tonight. I thought Zendaya was lowballed, and the only comment from Len was Lift your Chin . Docking her 3 points for a very small criticism was overboard. I thought the dance offs were okay, kudos to Val and Jacoby for going head to head, rather than going for an easy win. Mark is a big boy, and this is a dance contest. Aly was dancing with Henry all week, there's no reason if he was in a lot of pain not to allow his substitute to step in. Andy could have faced off against someone who didn't get a 29.

Is This Stork On The Cake A Cake Pan Or Is It Carved?
Decorating By brownsugarbaker Updated 15 Jan 2013 , 1:18am by RedInLove
I have an order for a stork cake and the customer has requested a cake like this one. I am trying to find out if the cake is a mold or if it was carved. My client is adamant that this is the cake that she has to have.
Any of your help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!
wow can those folks smooth a cake or what!
that's from freed's in las vegas they are a cake pumping factory--in a very good way
they prolly carved it--they are super cakers -- i very much admire their prolific work
it's either all buttercream
or they poured a glaze on it separate and placed baby & stork on the cake
but you can so see where a little blue gets in the white and vice versa
if i was to try & replicate i'd do a shortening buttercream for the stork & baby
it could be fondant but their buttercream is like glass
the hat band is fondant (I got one right i'm sure!)
i bet they baked it in a stork pan
I agree it looks like a pan, because where the legs cross the inside should be blue, not cake colored...if I'm seeing it right...but I googled it and couldn't find that stork pan...Hmmmmmmmm
My money is on hand-carved and fondant covered in white then airbrushed the different colors. The sheet is buttercream.
have you ever seen them on tv?
they are fast as lightening
either way he is missing a foot. I don't understand that....
I agree that it is missing a foot!!! Looks incomplete with the foot missing. Everything else looks pretty good.
kind of an amputee thing
it's lost in that cloud sorta?
This stork looks like a Wilton (or other brand) pan that was in production for a very short time. It would have been discontinued because of the difficulty in turning out the complicated shapes.
Google "stork cake" and you get a link to a plastic topper that is an almost identical image in miniature.
But for this customer, she doesn't have much choice except to buy the cake from Freed's because the pan is just not available.
You can use the current Wilton stork pan that has no legs--and add rolled cake ball mixture legs to look like this picture. No reasonable way to make an exact copy.
Brownsugarbaker~~Welcome to the forum.
Here's another version of the stork and baby. It's a discontinued Wilton pan. Amazon says they have 2 available:
Here are the PDF instructions for the pan above:
I heard that they pushed those cakes out fast. I am afraid that I am going to have pass on this cake because it will be way too difficult!!
Thank you. I offered this to her and she said "no" that she wants it exactly like Freeds. I am afraid that I will not be able to help her. I don't airbrush and I am not a great carver yet!!
What it looks like to me is that they used a number 4 bread pan and added the foot. Its a cute cake, but I bet it didn't take them long to do it all.
I haven't seen them on TV, where can I watch them?
Thank you everyone for you help!!! This is my first time posting a question and am so thankful all of you took the time to help me!
First, if she insists she wants it *EXACTLY* like Freed's, then she needs to get it from Freed's! I think you are right to pass on this order as I don't think she will be satisfied with anything she gets. No one can reproduce a cake *exactly* like someone else. Heck, I don't think I would promise to reproduce one of my own cakes *exactly*.
I guess it's a moot point now, although the stork *looks* as though it was from a pan because it is so neat, smooth, & precise; I bet it is carved, just knowing where it came from and that I don't recall ever seeing a stork pan like that. Very cute cake, but I know I couldn't reproduce it adequately, either!
on their fb page they have videos too
they combine of all levels of caking including high end plus that powerful jet propelled speed speed speed --
a production bakery that does high end--it's perfectly delicious
they sell cake by the slice--as in one slice--i think that's so cool
if i got reincarnated i think i'd like to come back as freedsbakery
ok it's a toss up between freeds and
the 27 foot tall chocolate fountain flowing with the ton of chocolate at the bellagio--jean phillipe patisserie
or maybe a patisserie in france...still deciding i guess
Freed's Bakery is celebrating their anniversary of serving Las Vegas for over 50 years now, and has been featured on such shows as The Food Network's "Roker on the Road," "$40 a Day with Rachael Ray," "Sugar Rush," and "After Midnight." Freed's has also been featured on Lifetime's"Top This Party,"Hawaiian Airlines' "The Best of Las Vegas," "Las Vegas Live," TheTravel Channel, and in July of 2010, Freed's was highlighted in the season premiere of TLC's new show, "Fabulous Cakes".

y not just print out an image and do a runsugar onto the cake, or you can do buttercream transfer.
Have you tried searching for the pan as a different bird? It's possible they combined two different images. Maybe look for flamingo, pelican, etc. The legs look flamingo to me, personally.

PASADENA - A fire displaced four people Sunday and caused about $225,000 worth of damage to an El Molina Avenue house, authorities said.
The fire was first reported about 1:15 p.m., and firefighters encountered a significant amount of smoke coming from the home in the 1600 block of North El Molino Avenue, Pasadena Fire Department officials said.
The fire had worked its way into the attic, however firefighters managed to minimize the damage to the home to a minimum by making an aggressive attack on the flames, officials said.
After extinguishing the blaze, officials estimated it caused about $175,000 in damage to the home and another $50,000 worth of damage to its contents.
The four adults displaced by the fire elected to stay with extended family, officials added. The cause of the fire was under investigation.

Quattro GmbH took its name from the road car of 1980, but in a reverential nod to that - as well as the heroic line of rally cars that would follow - Audi officially still uses a lower case 'q' even if the PH style guide dictates a 'proper' upper case one for the avoidance of doubt.
Odd one out
Although the division certainly has its fans who adoringly discuss its product in similarly respectful tones, Quattro GmbH doesn't, for one reason or another, quite have the draw of BMW M or Mercedes AMG.
The spectacular Forum may steal the limelight with its sprawling, multi-level showroom, restaurant and pristine museum pieces, but building B6 is the beating heart of the Neckarsulm facility, for this is where Audi's hottest 'regular 'models come to life. R8s, meanwhile, are built in a separate Quattro GmbH facility on the same site. The brown tiled floor of the final assembly hall is redolent of an old school house. As RS6s, RS7s, RS5 Cabriolets and more are wheeled around tight corners into a secondary hall - no bigger than a couple of tennis courts - to have bumpers and wheel arch linings fitted, a sense pervades that demand for Audi's RS models has outstripped the capacity of building B6.
Vorsprung durch ... tradition?
An orange folder follows each car throughout every stage of the production process, gradually filling up with work flow sheets that are stamped by workers at each station by way of sign-off. These folders are then sent to Ingolstadt where copies are made and stored for 30 years to comply with European product liability regulations.
Once the cars have been assembled and their paintwork scrutinised under bright lights, they're wound up to 80mph on rollers to ensure engines and drivetrains run properly. All cars then complete the 1.5km test track, but higher-end models are taken for a longer test drive on open roads.
Making up ground
It must simply be down to heritage. Although Quattro GmbH was founded 30 years ago, it didn't actually produce a car until the RS2 of 1994. According to Audi itself, for the first 11 years the division was simply responsible for "the marketing of accessories." By way of comparison, BMW M had already delivered the M1 supercar, the M535i, M635 CSi, two generations of M5 and two M3s by the time Quattro GmbH had knocked out the genre-busting RS2 Avant. In vehicle production terms, Quattro GmbH is half the age of BMW M.
R8 and B7 RS4. The majority, as we like to compliment back-handedly, are 'great to live with'.
Nonetheless, Quattro GmbH is a brand on the move. Its range is more extensive and diverse than ever before and a 30 per cent year on year sales leap is indicative of the sheer showroom appeal of its current product. On the basis of its sales trajectory and the strength of the R8 and recent RS6, we can surely expect some mighty performance cars from Quattro GmbH between now and its 40th anniversary.

Old Medicine & Pills A Hazard To Children; Dispose Pills Properly

OMAHA (KPTM)- Medicines can be expensive, whether it's a prescription or over the counter. That's why many people tend to hang on to them, even if they're expired or haven't been used in a while. However, health professionals said if the medicine got into the wrong hands it could be dangerous.
"It's real important that they get unused, unwanted expired medications out of their homes because they're abused," said poison information specialist, Joan McVoy, of the Nebraska Regional Poison Center.
McVoy said poison control gets about 160 calls per day. She said more than half of those calls deal with medicine poisoning--particularly children.
"A little bit over 50 percent are on kids under the age of six who get into products. Most of the time it's medications that are left out," said McVoy.
The Douglas County Health Department said the trash can isn't the best place for old pills because kids can still get hold of them.
The health department suggests not to flush your medicine down the toilet. This is because of concerns of drug residues that can be found in surface water--like rivers and lakes. Instead, you should throw them away in a bag of coffee grounds or kitty litter to make them look less appealing.
For a more secure disposal, McVoy suggests taking the pills to any Hy-Vee.
"They can just drop them off, there's no questions asked," she said.
McVoy said parents who have children that accidentally take pills should always call poison control first.
"9 out of 10 times, they're going to stay home. This is a real cost savings to call a poison center, instead of just immediately running into an emergency room," said McVoy.
The health department also recommends crossing off your personal information on a prescription bottle before throwing it away. This will protect your identity and privacy of your health information.

Opposition parties are of the view that the statistics show that Gauteng residents are under a daily threat from criminals. Gauteng is in the lead with the highest number of crimes reported in the country.
Freedom Front Plus spokesperson, Pieter Groenewald, said nationally murder had increased by 9.6 percent in the past two years and by 4.6 percent in the past year. Groenewald said this translated into 17 805 people being murdered in the country in the past year, which is a murder every 30 minutes. In terms of attempted murder, Gauteng is second to Western Cape with an increase of 8.7 percent. "This increase in violent crime indicates that South Africa is increasingly becoming a violent country," Groenewald said.
He added that the credibility of the statistics was suspect and the fact that Statistics South Africa was part of the process, did not make it any more credible.
Meanwhile, the Inkhatha Freedom Party (IFP) in Gauteng noted the crime statistics with great concern following the upward trend of contact crime (crime against a person) rates in Gauteng.
"It is notable that contact crimes, particularly in Gauteng, have been on a steady rise in recent years and, though they occur within communities in the gaze of all people, they still seem to be a great challenge that demands more attention from the police," said IFP Gauteng caucus leader, Bonginkosi Dhlamini.
According to statistics, murder in Gauteng has escalated by 10.4 percent for the period between April last year to January this year. Attempted robbery went up by 8.7 percent during the same period, with other crimes in the community such as common robbery rising by 11.6 percent and robbery with aggravating circumstances increasing by 11.4 percent. Dhlamini said these statistics were most worrying and reflected the lack of safety in Gauteng. He asked what the Gauteng government would do about these serious crimes.
Democratic Alliance Gauteng Shadow MEC for Community Safety, Kate Lorimer said the statistics showed that residents of Gauteng were under an increasing daily threat from criminals. "In all but five of the 27 categories of crime statistics reported, Gauteng leads all of South Africa with the highest number of crimes reported," she said. "The exceptions are murder where Gauteng has the second highest number, the illegal possession of firearms (second highest), drug related crimes (second highest), sexual offences as a result of police action (third highest) and stock theft. On average, 1 746 crimes are committed in Gauteng per day," Lorimer said. There had been 3 671 murders in the province.
AfriForum's head of community safety, Ian Cameron said the statistics were a clear indication of the incompetent leadership in the management of the police.
"It is simple, General Riah Phiyega needs to be sacked," Cameron said.

A NO vote in September's independence referendum would "protect Scotland" from a risky and uncertain future, John Reid has claimed, in the former Labour Cabinet minister's most high-profile intervention in the debate so far.
Ahead of a major speech for the cross-party Better Together campaign, the former home secretary insisted it was not unpatriotic to vote against independence.
He also argued Alex Salmond's refusal to accept independence carried risks was undermining the Yes campaign.

Baron Reid of Cardowan, who served in nine Cabinet posts under Tony Blair, is due to address an audience in Stirling today as both sides in the referendum fight step up their campaigning.
The campaign enters its final 100 days on Monday and both Better Together and pro-independence rivals Yes Scotland are planning official launch events.
The Scottish Government will mark the day with an event in Edinburgh for women's organisations, hosted by Nicola Sturgeon and other female cabinet ministers.
Lord Reid urged voters to consider the advantages of being in the UK and the risks of leaving, which he said included a threat to pensions and uncertainty over the currency.
But he added: "The third issue is about national consciousness and its one of the heart more than the head. Most people feel very Scottish and proud of it but they are also proud of being part of the UK and British. Many also feel a little bit Irish or Lithuanian or Pakistani, or Polish or whatever. What's important is that no side in this argument has a monopoly on patriotism.
"A No vote does not make you less Scottish. A No vote is not a vote against Scotland it's a vote to protect Scotland, Scotland's interests and the welfare of the people of Scotland and that has to be made absolutely plain."
He added: "I firmly believe that, it would be helpful if the First Minister was also able to publicly recognise that because he is First Minister of Scotland and not just a particular group of people."
Lord Reid said people were becoming "increasingly sceptical" about independence being risk-free.
He said: "I think there is a growing worry that, however committed he may be, the First Minister is becoming blinded by his political ambitions and political objectives to the realities and risks of separation.
"I think that's what's moving people back to a position of believing the advantages of being in the UK outweigh the risks of separating."
He also hit out at the increasingly abusive tone of the debate, especially on Twitter and other social media.
"It's unfortunate, it's disappointing, it's not something the vast majority of people want to see defining or even influencing a campaign," he said.
"I accept the sincerity of those who disagree with my point of view.
"I don't question their love of this country or their patriotism. I would hope they would do likewise with those who disagree with them.
"The key thing is to conduct the debate in a way that does not avoid the hard questions but avoids some of the abuse we have seen principally but not exclusively from so-called cybernats and others."
Lord Reid entered the campaign as Better Together prepared for an intensive week of campaigning. Alistair Darling will speak in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Stornoway and Inverness on Monday and Tuesday.
Labour's Jim Murphy and Gordon Brown, LibDems Shirley Williams and Charles Kennedy, and Tory MSP Annabel Goldie will take part in events across the country.
Mr Darling said: "We are now at the business end of what has already been a long campaign."
Yes Scotland will unveil plans tomorrow for a major programme of events during the final 100 days of the campaign.

I want a woman that responds to what I do for her and does not assume all men are that considerate. A woman that want to enjoy the fun things in like with me and not think I am only in the marriage to do her bidding.
Yes I love to chat and I do not feel like I am cheating. I leave it to the person I chat with to set the limits.We each must decide for ourselves those limits. I never push for the person to go beyond their limits. but love to cyber if the person wants that.
Paris is pretty and because she carries her sex so well it attracts men because she gives the impression that hey you might score. But when common sense hits most guys know she is out of reach and therefore not near as sexy.
well I turn out to be 63% sluttyNot bad for someone that thinks they are a total slut
Pulling back definaty reduces the spray and mess.
I think cuddling is important at times both before and after sex. Sometimes it leads to sex and others it is the desert after. The time, mood and place all play into weather to cuddle or not.
When guys are constantly bombarded by stories and photos of women being pleased by large penises it is hard to think of an average penis (size 5 inches ) as adequate. I am happy with mine but I know from experience that how it is used in conjuction with being atentive to the ladies needs both before and after is what really counts.
I loved having sex with my pregnant wife. It was a fantastic time and she glowed with life while pregnant

Concert reviewing is not always as glamorous as it sounds. You walk into hole-in-the-wall venues on a Monday night, with one eye open and praying you won't need a series of Tylenol pills to get you through the night. But sometimes you get lucky. You find those bands that have been shoved in between the cracks. These are the bands you somehow manage to stumble onto even though they're nowhere near the mainstream yet, and later that night you're thanking God that you did. This was just the case at the Saxon Shore show in Buffalo, New York.
Saxon Shore
4 Aug 2003: Broadway Joe's Buffalo, New York
There were only a handful of people roaming around the relatively small bar as Karmella's Game, the first of two opening bands, took the stage. The five members, ranging from their late teens to early twenties, dressed in schoolgirl and boy get-ups (we're talking plaid skirts, knee highs and V-necks, folks), came out and took the stage hostage with their undying energy. They captivated the entire crowd with their synth-rock sound, while lead singer and keyboardist Katie Ostrosky caused jaws to drop with her unbelievable Gwen Stefani-esque vocals. (And let me tell ya, this woman's range is incredible.) Backed by music that resembled a synthesized Weezer with a hint of Supertramp, this combo just couldn't get any better.
Leaving room for faux pas, the second band, Buffalo's own Blizzard of '77, reminded the audience that this was their first show ever and to bear with them. Beginning with an electronic noise that sounded like you were being sucked into a wind tunnel, this three-member band created a sound that was like a dirtier version of Radiohead. Their songs varied from angsty rock to placid melodies, and though their lyrics sometimes were unrecognizable, their musical skill was quite solid.
After making a few requests from the sound guy, the headliner, Saxon Shore, with no introduction, began to play to the remaining crowd. Set up in triangular form, the three guys—Matt Doty (guitar), Josh Tillman (drums) and Justin Saxby (bass)—looked as though they were having a simple band practice, solely focusing on each other and their art. Using a mini-disc player for background noises, they causally morphed into their first song, "Four Months of Darkness", which emitted a relaxed feel over the audience. Their second song, "Amber, Ember, Glow", picked up the pace as Doty played a quick, rhapsodic back and forth melody on guitar while Tillman created a distinct snare drum sound.
Though the music sounded pulled together and flowed exceptionally well, you would have never guessed that Doty and Tillman lived on opposite sides of the country and relied on mailing 4-track demos to each other to create their music. They classify their strictly instrumental music as "ambient instrumental indie rock" and could be compared to Sigur Ros. However, I like to think these guys have more of a "breath of life" to their sound. (What can I say? I like the fact that Tillman actually hits the drums at a speed that shows a pulse).
"Replacement Driver", which isn't on their latest CD, Four Months of Darkness, was their fourth song that began with a few drumstick hits and then broke into a fast, edgy rock melody. They took a quick and silent break before their last song, another new one not on their album, titled "Secret Fir, Binding Light", that brought their show full circle. Doty created a delicate guitar sound that was broken by moments of vitality creating a very realistic feel and turning an intimate show, even more intimate.
Broken into a roller coaster of musical waves that flowed one after the other, each song sounded like a discussion between two people that encompassed a series of different emotions. One minute a fragile conversation and the next a heated argument. Saxon Shore's music undoubtedly resembles a cyclic tune to life. Just as they began so discretely, they ended that way, too. When the fifth song came to a close, I was waiting for the next to begin, but no go. Their set was short and to the point, keeping their mysterious decorum and unassuming image.
I may have gone into this show weary eyed, but came out with a newfound hope. All three bands were worth my while, each in their own way. Finding a new band that you wouldn't mind listening to on a regular basis is liable to make anyone want to run into an open field, fall to their knees and let out a cathartic, "YESSSSSSSSSSSS!" This was a night where no Tylenol was needed. Amen.

text: Posted March 22, 2014 · Report post hey guys, i had moderate acne with some really inflammed spot, so i went on accutane 4 years ago. reached a cumulative dose of ~80mg/kg. Unfortunately after 6 months my skin started to get oilier and i started to breakout again. so i went to my derm for a second round. this time i took 20mg/day and my skin reacted really really fast compared to the first time. within 2 weeks all my blogged pores became unclogged. The sebum "grains" (the hard yellow sebum like a grain of rice) just fell out of every single pore and i was clear again for 9 months. Then my acne came back. i took it gain for 1 and 1/2 week and the same happened. fast clearing. stayed clear for a year. I think a 200mg/YEAR (10x 20mg Pills) can keep me clear for a whole year. I am not sure if that's healthy in the long run. what do you guys think about my approach? Thanks ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unwanted hair in certain places. I just finished my sixth laser appointment and I can tell you that they have worked well (: I know that it is a sensitive area to get laser hair removal, but they use this special machine that helps reduce the pain. So you'll hardly feel a thing! They also provide numbing cream for some areas.
Hairless - Long Beach, CA
Unwanted hair in certain places. I just finished...
I love the staff at Image M.D.! I really wanted to get laser hair removal on my bikini area, but I was hesitant to the idea because I didn't feel comfortable exposing myself to a stranger. The ladies at Image M.D. made my experience wonderful. I was no longer embarrassed or scared to go get the hair removed. The office at Image M.D. is so clean. They always have sunscreen available, as well as cleansers and lotion. They have specials every month, too! I highly recommend Image M.D. to others--especially those living near the area. I drove from la to long beach just to go see them! It was a long drive, but definitely worth it.

This is a very good time to be a Jane Austen fan, especially around the holidays: there are so many good Jane-inspired gifting options! Here are some of my favorites:
1. A pretty copy of Pride and Prejudice. This is the one I have, $25 at Amazon.com. (Used copies are available starting at $9.38.)
2. Pride and Prejudice 10th Anniversary Collector's Set, $55.95 at Amazon.com. (Used copies from $29.99.) This 1995 version starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle is the best adaptation, and the set includes the excellent book The Making of Pride and Prejudice. (The book can be purchased separately for $15.64; used copies start at a penny!)
3. Emma pencil pouch ($30) or notebook ($14) by Kate Spade.
4. Jane Austen Action Figure, $17.99 from Amazon.com. For the serious fan with a whimsical sense of humor.
5. Death Comes to Pemberley is a brand-new release from British mystery novelist P. D. James, $15.57 at Amazon.com, 12.99 kindle edition. I don't do fanfiction, because the little I've read has been terrible. But I was intrigued by the recent book review Mr. & Mrs. Darcy to the Rescue in the Wall Street Journal, and I'll be giving this fanfiction a try. I'm sure many other Austen fans will enjoy doing the same.
6. Isn't this Jane Austen window decal fun? Available from the Etsy shop Eaton for $3.
7. For Austen moms: Little Miss Austen Pride & Prejudice board book, 9.99 at Amazon.com (and eligible for its ongoing 4-for-3 promotion). This counting-themed board book is for the younger set–and their parents who do the reading aloud to them.
8. A Jane Austen Education: How Six Novels Taught Me About Love, Friendship, and the Things That Really Matter by William Deresiewicz was just released last April, and it's terrific. Highly recommended reading (and gifting) for any Austen fans. $16.21 at Amazon.com.
What's your favorite Jane Austen-inspired gift?

Never in his wildest dreams did Andrew Downard expect to board a plane after graduation from Emory & Henry and leave behind the place he'd called home since enrolling in the school in 2010.
"During my senior year, my dream was to live and work in the Appalachian region," said Downard, a native of Manassas, Va. "I never thought I'd trade these mountains for a place that was completely foreign to me."
But, that's exactly what he did.
During spring semester of his senior year, Downard learned that Marshall University in Huntington, W.Va., recruits and places Americans each year to teach English in universities and public and private K-12 schools in China. With assistance from Dr. Celeste Gaia, director of the Office of International Education at E&H, Downard was accepted into the university's Appalachians Abroad Teach in China Program.
Downard is among an average of 50 Americans who are placed in China each year.
Landing his first job as an English teacher in China, Downard discovered he had not abandoned the things he held close to his heart. "In fact, I realized I carried my experiences at E&H and the Southwest Virginia region with me thousands of miles from home to benefit both myself and my students," he said.
Downard's work is supported by Henan Marshall College, located within the Henan Institute of Education in Zhengzhou, China. Henan Marshall College is a joint subsidiary of Marshall University and the Henan Institute of Education.
The E&H graduate teaches approximately 60 students from throughout the Henan Province who are candidates for coming to America to enroll in a two-year program at Marshall University. Downard instructs students between the ages of 18 and 22 in Language Composition 101 and Introduction to English.
"I am one of the first representatives of the Western world my students have seen. I have to make sure they not only understand the English language, but also that they see the Western world as a place that's not nearly as foreign as they believe it to be."
A 2014 double major in Public Policy and Community Service (PPCS) and European Studies, Downard credits Emory & Henry for preparing him for this adventure.
"During my education at Emory & Henry, I was constantly challenged to engage my learning inside and outside of the classroom. Courses with service learning components allowed me to use what I was learning in the classroom and put it to use in a real world placement site," said Downard.
"My academic adviser, Tal Stanley, repeatedly told me I was capable of being an agent of change in society," he said.
"Emory & Henry taught me to push myself and to relish challenges."Andrew Downard
Downard said serving the Glade Spring community was among his greatest accomplishments as a senior at E&H. While performing practicum requirements for the Public Policy and Community Service program, Downard served with Glade Spring Town Manager Brian Martin to help implement town planning projects that included writing grants and creating the Glade Spring Fling Charity Race.
"This opportunity showed me that being an active citizen of change is not purely an act of civic engagement. Rather, it requires an individual to open his or her heart and accept and love a place for its beauty and worth."

Street Theatre Company Presents THE LAST FIVE YEARS, Now thru 5/27
THE LAST FIVE YEARS is a contemporary musical that chronicles the five year life of a marriage, from meeting to break-up. As the story begins, Cathy is at the beginning of the relationship and Jamie is at the end. With inter-cutting scenes, the audience watches Jamie move forward in time as Cathy moves backward throughout the show. THE LAST FIVE YEARS is a look at the relationship between a writer and an actress told from both points of view.
Immediately after the show opened in Chicago, THE LAST FIVE YEARS sold more tickets in a single weekend than any other production at that venue. The show was named one of Time magazine's top 10 shows of 2001, and Jason Robert Brown took home Drama Desk Awards for both Best Music and Best Lyrics.
Street Theatre Company has added a spin to their production, by offering two separate casts during the run of the production. Artistic Director Cathy Street explains, "What is fascinating to me is how different a show can be based on the actors involved. In a two person show that deals with a complicated relationship, this is easier to explore than ever. The goal is to see how under the same director's vision, different actors' interpretations will create a different experience for the audience member. Our hope is that audiences will want to see both casts and see how the show might make them feel differently based on the actors' choices."
The two casts feature professional artists in the Nashville community. Weekends one and two will feature Kacie Phillips and Ryan Greenwalt, and in another twist, real-life married couple Cori Laemmel and Tyson Laemmel will perform weekends three and four.
The Last Five Years runs tonight, May 4 through May 27. Tickets are only $16 for adults and $14 for students and seniors, with specials including Talk-Back nights, Student nights, and Starving Artist nights. For specific show information, and to purchase tickets, visit www.streettheatrecompany.org. Performances are at Street Theatre, 1933 Elm Hill Pike, just off the Briley Parkway. For more information, call 615-554-7414.
Street Theatre Company is a non-profit arts organization dedicated to fostering professional, affordable and accessible theatre, music and arts education in Nashville. Founded in 2004, the organization produces high quality performances and educational workshops, and provides artistic opportunities for young people.

text: SCRUBS the complete 2nd season Studio:Buena Vista Year:2005 RunTime:479 minutes total Rating:TV-14 Aspect Ratio:4x3 encoded 1.33:1 (OAR) Audio:5.1 DD English SpecialFeatures:Lots… ReleaseDate:November 15, 2005 The Show... Scrubs is one of the more intelligent and entertaining comedy shows around these days. It's fast paced, well scripted, and delightfully acted. Despite the farcical style, the show still manages to get you emotionally involved with the characters which is a compliment to how well it combines dimensions of humor and storytelling into an unusually potent mix. If you've never watched Scrubs but enjoy wit-based comedies like Seinfeld and Will & Grace, you should definitely give Scrubs a try. Be sure to start with Season One as the show needs to introduce you to the characters and their interpersonal storylines before you "ease into" Season two which takes much of this back-story for granted. Scrubs is on the top of my list for quality comedy programming. If you've never seen this show before please see my review of Season One for a more detailed discussion of this great program: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htfo...hreadid=233685 Packaging and Presentation... Similar to Season 1, we have a cardboard fold-out package with "overlapping" discs (which annoys me personally). The cover is embossed which gives a 3-D look to the image which is a nice touch. Menus are creatively done…it looks and feels like the guys/gals who worked on this DVD presentation loved the show as much as the fans. Picture... The image just lacks "snap" on my system (BenQ 8700+ DLP projector) and before you assume that it's because this is a "TV Show on a projector" so we shouldn't expect better, let me assure you that there are TV shows…even ones recorded direct to video (Muppet Show)…that do have snap when projected big-screen. What robs this image from satisfying the wide-angle viewer is the lack of small object detail and restricted contrast range which give the image a slightly dull appearance when viewed big. I'm sure that viewers on smaller sets (or seated more than 2 screen widths away) will find the image reasonably sharp, but given how good I've seen some other "TV" program material look when well mastered, it would have been nice to see Scrubs take better advantage of the image quality obtainable in the Standard-Definition format. Keep in mind my comments are coming from the perspective of viewing on a 106" screen…so don't be dismayed and adjust your expectations accordingly (also, it seems to my eyes that the image quality of season 2 may be slightly improved over the first season so if you were happy with the first you'll be happy with the second). Picture Quality: 3 / 5 Rating Rationale... In the past I think I've been too ambiguous with my scoring or at least haven't applied it consistently from title to title, so I've endeavored to define my rating system more clearly to help make the scoring more meaningful (for all titles reviewed December 2004 and later): Rating Key: SCORE Description 1-2 An absolute abomination. Hurts to watch. Think "Outland" (scan-line aliasing, chroma noise, dotcrawl)-- truly horrid. 2-3 Has some serious problems, but one can at least watch it without getting a headache despite all the problems though you might try to talk your guests into picking a different movie to watch if you have a large projection screen. Think Cold Mountain. 3-4 Good or at least "acceptable" on a big-screen, but not winning any awards and definitely room for improvement if you view the image wide-angle (though smaller-screen viewers may be quite content). Think the first extended cut of Fellowship of the Ring...decent picture but still some HF filtering and some edge-halos. 4-5 A reference picture that really makes the most of the DVD medium and shows extraordinary transparency to the film-source elements. Non-videophile observers can't help but remark "WOW". Think The Empire Strikes Back or the Fifth Element Superbit (full "5" would be sans EE) or the new Toy Story 10th Anniversary Edition. Viewing Equipment: Currently running DVDs on my OPPO DVD player (Faroudja deinterlacing) which scales to 720P, feeding my BenQ 8700+ PJ via DVI, projecting onto a 106" 16x9 Dalite HiPower screen, viewed from approximately 1.6 screen-widths distance. Well mastered DVDs produce a stunningly film-like image in this scenario, and lesser-mastered material quickly shows its flaws. Sound... It says "5.1"on the box but the general character of the mix is "fat mono". It doesn't sound bad, but it rarely grabs the 5.1 format with any noticeable "I am 5.1 hear me roar" attitude either. But then again it's not really supposed to, and I would have found it jarring to be distracted with wiz-bang mixing on a show like this, though I will say that it could have been nice to have more atmospheric use of the surrounds to simulate "hospital background noise". Thumbs up to the audio quality of the songs mixed into the show…they do sound great and don't have that "degraded for TV" effect you might be fearing. Sound Quality: 3.5 / 5 Special Features... Most of the bonus features are on disc 3 of the set but a few appear on other discs as well (like the commentary). These bonus feature are really enjoyable. I was seduced into watching them through completely which isn't the norm…usually I take a "highlights" approach to wading through piles of bonus features but I really got into the special features here. I found that watching the bonus features really added to my appreciation for the show, it's actors, and the creative talent responsible for making it happen—which translates into increased enjoyment when watching the episodes. I highly recommend fans and casual viewers alike give the bonus content a look. [*]Johnny C. Keeps Talking: This is a great one-on-one conversation with John, C. McGinley (Dr. Cox). Gosh, he's such a nice guy in real life and so darn cute too. It's great to hear him talk about his character, how his own input actually helped change the writers' direction a bit with the character's development, and his stories of beind-the-scenes mischief on the set… [*]Secrets and Lies: Go in-depth with the story behind several characters and their development. [*]Musical Stylings: Some cool stuff on how the writers pick songs to meld into the show and how they go about using them to enhance the storytelling. Also find out how the network, writers, and viewing public sometimes have different ideas about what's worth watching. [*]Outtakes:Lots of fun. [*]Imagination Gone Wild: This feature details the "fantasy" sequences which, IMO, make this show such fun to watch. Learn some of the trivia behind what makes these sequences come together…including ordering 20-something "Re-Run" (What's Happenin') costumes… [*]Scrubbed Out – Deleted Scenes: These are nicely grouped by episode in addition to the welcome "play all" option. [*]Alternate Lines: Similar to deleted scenes, you can see alternate lines that weren't used for the final versions. The Ad-lib talent of the actors is impressive…as is considering that each final scene we enjoy probably started out with multiple takes similar to what you see here. [*]A Rare Condition: Behind the scenes on sets, costume design, and stunts. Lots of fun. [*]Stunt Casting: Get some details about various stunts (like the bungee –jumping) and see some of the look-alikes who play them. [*]J.D.'s Mojo: Insight into the sexual tension brought to life by the talented cast… [*]Audio Commentaries: A healthy helping of episodes have commentary with the creator and various cast members (I can post back particulars if needed). In all cases the commentary is relaxed, informal, conversational, and fun. Fans will probably enjoy this more than casual viewers but anyone interested should take a peak. [/list] All Together... It's a great show, and the DVD looks and sounds as good as the source material will allow…which won't set a reference standard in your AV system but will supply you with hours of Scrubs satisfaction. Extras are plentiful and make the DVD purchase an easy recommendation for anyone who loves this show. Go forth! RECOMMENDED

Mountain West bowls
- Five eligible teams: Boise State (10-1), TCU (9-2), Wyoming (7-4), SDSU (7-4) and Air Force (7-5).
- Four bowl guarantees: Las Vegas, Poinsettia, Independence, New Mexico.
- BCS factor: Boise State or TCU could get an unlikely BCS berth, guaranteeing bowls for five teams.
- At-large possibilities: Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl in San Francisco on Dec. 31 vs. Pac-12 team, probably UCLA; New Orleans Bowl on Dec. 17 vs. Louisiana-Lafayatte.
- Choice factor: Mountain West bowls and bowls with at-large slots can pick any eligible team regardless of record or ranking. Bowls usually consider potential ticket sales, head-to-head results and records. But each makes a choice based on their own interests.
San Diego State's chances of landing a postseason bowl berth seem to go up or down according to rapidly changing scenarios and negotiations.
But the latest update – as of Thursday evening – has the Aztecs likely to land one of the last spots available. Right now it appears there are three likely possibilities for SDSU: the New Mexico Bowl, the New Orleans Bowl or the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl in San Francisco.
"Until I have an actual invitation in my hand, I'm not going to feel completely comfortable," said John David Wicker, SDSU's senior associate athletic director.
Officials at the Mountain West have been working to make sure there's a spot for SDSU because they have five bowl-eligible teams for only four Mountain West Bowls: the Las Vegas, Poinsettia, Independence and New Mexico bowls.
That forces one team – likely SDSU – to find a spot as an at-large team somewhere else. Because there only will be a few at-large openings, and because there's competition for those few spots, it's made the situation fluid and uncertain.
The New Orleans Bowl has an opening because Conference USA won't have enough eligible teams to fill its contracted spot against Louisiana-Lafayette on Dec. 17. An executive there said by phone Thursday that the Aztecs were under consideration. So are other teams. The Big Ten is among other leagues that doesn't have enough bowl contracts to guarantee a spot for all of their eligible teams.
"We're considering every option," said Billy Ferrante, the game's executive director. "It's more speculative at this point than I've ever seen."
Last year, there were 72 bowl-eligible teams for 70 spots in 35 games. Western Michigan (6-6) and Temple (8-4) weren't invited. This year, there will be 72 to 74 bowl-eligible teams for 70 spots. Almost all of those spots are filled by contracts with certain conferences.
In the Mountain West, Boise State (10-1) and Texas Christian (9-2) are expected to be picked by the Vegas and Poinsettia Bowls. The Independence Bowl has indicated it likes Air Force (7-5), and the New Mexico Bowl probably will take Wyoming (7-4). That all could change if Boise or TCU gets a berth into a Bowl Championship Series game, which might not happen unless Houston (12-0) loses Saturday at home against Southern Miss.
If Boise or TCU does get a BCS berth, all five Mountain West teams would be guaranteed a berth. In that case, sources indicated the Poinsettia would lean toward Wyoming over SDSU, leaving SDSU to the New Mexico on Dec. 17.
If Boise or TCU don't get a BCS berth, SDSU might be an option at the Kraft Fight Hunger, which has an opening after Army (3-8) failed to become eligible to fill its contracted spot. That bowl, on Dec. 31, also has several other scenarios in play.
SDSU hopes to know by Sunday afternoon so they can announce a bowl berth at the men's basketball game against Cal.
"We're on pins and needles," Wicker said.Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

An Ubud area man is now under police investigation for literally "taking a shine" to his former employer, a leading Boutique Resort property located along the Pejeng River. According to a report in NusaBali, the 40-year-old man had recently resigned his job from the hotel after being caught by hotel security attempting to steal 40 liters of used cooking oil on January 2, 2009. While apparently accepting the end of his employment with the hotel and avoiding prosecution by resigning, the former employee then decided to extract revenge on the hotel by installing sheets of reflective glass and aluminum sheeting on a hillside owned by his family on the riverbank opposite the hotel focussed on guest rooms and visitors lounging near the pool. NusaBali reports that the man has been called for questioning by Gianyar Police who, it is assumed, will caution the man to "reflect deeply" before causing any further inconvenience to island visitors.

Overcoming their own doubts wasn't the only challenge facing three women now serving as ministers in Athens churches. They also had to deal with the doubts of other people, and, to one degree or another, with the doubts of their denominations.
Carolyn Moore, minister of discipleship at Athens First United Methodist Church, Jana Kinnersley, associate pastor at Milledge Avenue Baptist Church, and Gloria Bowden, who recently joined St. Gregory the Great Episcopal Church as assistant rector, are all headed in the direction in which they believe God has been guiding them since childhood.
Kinnersley, who grew up in the west Georgia town of LaGrange, said she ''grew up in a home where you could do anything as long as you put your mind to it. I was never told I couldn't do something because I was a girl.''
But she was raised in a church that was part of the Southern Baptist Convention, which sees pastoral leadership as a male province.
After graduating high school, Kinnersley enrolled at West Georgia College, majoring in psychology but spending most of her time in the Baptist Student Union.
She felt led into some type of ministry, but it wasn't until she graduated, married, and accepted a campus minister intern position at Southern Tech in Marietta that she realized she was being led toward full-time church ministry.
''I knew during college that I had been called into the ministry but I thought it was as a campus minister because there were women in college ministry,'' Kinnersley, 28, said. ''But I found out along the way that I love preaching and I love teaching ... I knew there was something else I was called to do.''
She enrolled at Mercer University's McAfee School of Theology, from which she graduated nearly three years ago.
''There have been people in my life who have tried to tell me that the Bible says women can't be ministers. But there's no point in arguing with them. That's a battle I can't fight.'' Jana Kinnersley, Milledge Avenue Baptist ChurchDot Paul/Staff
After graduation, Kinnersley was hired at Milledge Avenue Baptist Church where she works with children and youth ministries, plans worship services, and fills in for the Rev. Edward Bolen, the church pastor, when he is out of town.
Milledge Avenue Baptist retains some affiliation with the Southern Baptist Convention, supporting some SBC-founded ministries. But its main affiliation is with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, founded in May 1991 in response to dissatisfaction with increasing conservatism in the SBC.
The CBF holds that anyone called to be a minister -- regardless of gender -- should answer that call.
However, Kinnersley -- by choice -- is not an ordained minister. While she can lead services and preach at Milledge Avenue, she cannot conduct wedding or funeral ceremonies.
But ordination isn't something Kinnersley is seeking at this time.
''It has nothing to do with the fact that I am a woman,'' she said. ''My belief is that all people are ministers, whether you are a full-time pastor of a church or not.''
Bowden, who was raised in the Episcopal Church and whose grandfather was an Episcopal priest, had several jobs before entering seminary at age 43.
When she was confirmed in the Episcopal faith at age 11, Bowden began to feel led to use her life to share the Gospel with others.
''I was at an age where I was not aware of restrictions for women or race,'' Bowden, 48, said. ''It wasn't until years later that I realized there had been a clear direction that I was to follow but had not. ... I think I knew throughout my life that I had been called to serve the Lord in a special way but I just ignored it and went my own way.''
After graduating with a black studies degree from Emory University, Bowden worked for 12 years as box office director of the Atlanta Ballet before moving on to serve as manager in charge of cultural Olympic sales for the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games and then returning to Emory to serve as a student development coordinator.
''It's not important to me that the world accept women, but that the world accept Christ. That is what my ministry is all about.'' Carolyn Moore, First United Methodist ChurchCameron Swartz/Staff
While in Atlanta, Bowden was a member of Holy Cross Episcopal Church, led by the Rev. Kent ''Buck'' Bellmore.
''In January 1996 a major illness reoccurred and I was hospitalized. Fortunately, doctors were able to get everything under control within two weeks,'' Bowden said. ''I will always remember when I got out of the hospital, Buck took me to dinner ... and he handed me a letter. It was a letter getting me started in the process for ordination. He looked at me and told me it was time for me to answer my calling. ... And I knew he was right. I finally felt in my heart a peace that I had never felt there before. It took that affirmation from someone else -- someone in the ministry -- to assure me that I had, indeed, been called by God and that I was to finally answer that call.''
But it took a little more encouragement from Bellmore for Bowden to follow the road she now believes was the right one all along.
''I wanted to go to seminary, but I had it in my mind that I would go to Candler (Emory's theology school). But Buck and my bishop wanted me to go to General Theological Seminary in New York. Just to appease them, really, I agreed to go up there and take a look around,'' Bowden said.
During her visit, Bowden looked at a book which contained the signatures of all of the school's students through the years.
''I went to that book and I turned to (the year) 1925 and there was my grandfather's signature -- Henry James Charles Bowden,'' Bowden said proudly. ''The minute I saw his signature I knew I had to go to General and I knew that my calling was no mistake.''
And, now that she has answered that call, Bowden -- who was ordained as an Episcopal deacon on June 9 -- is proclaiming the gospel louder than ever. Women have been ordained in the Episcopal church since the mid-1970s, although some small pockets of resistance to the practice remain.
''I don't argue with anyone about my calling, but one time, during seminary, when I was working as a chaplain at a local hospital, I ran into a 25-year-old Catholic who told me that the Bible says women should not lead a church. I remember I told him that might be what his Jesus said, but that wasn't what my Jesus said,'' Bowden said with a laugh.
''I would never debate anyone about whether women are called or not. It's no question -- I know we are called.'' Gloria Bowden, St. Gregory the Great Episcopal Church
Moore, who also grew up in a Christian home, said she knew at the age of 13 that God was calling her to do something special with her life.
But at that time in Moore's life -- and for several years to come -- the calling was something that seemed almost unattainable.
''In those days there were even fewer women in the ministry than there are now,'' said Moore, who was raised Methodist. ''My mother and father told me they believed it was wrong and the pastor of my church thought it was wrong. And, not because of them, but because of my own weakness, I decided to water it down and kind of head in another direction.''
After graduating from high school, Moore enrolled in the University of Georgia's religious education program.
''Even though I was a religion major, I really didn't know what direction I was headed in, and my life indicated that in every possible way,'' Moore said, explaining that she quit attending church regularly and made her decisions about the direction her life should take without praying.
After marrying her college sweetheart, Steve, in 1986, the two moved to Japan for a year. While there, Moore worked as a radio disc jockey.
When it was time to return to the U.S., Steve, a history education major, applied for jobs as a high school history teacher throughout Georgia. He found one in Moore's hometown of Augusta.
''About once a month I would go to church just to appease my mom. Then someone heard I had a degree in religious education and asked me to teach the college Sunday school class,'' said Moore, who was working in public relations at the time. ''I decided to use C.S. Lewis' book, ''Mere Christianity,'' (an informal written version of some addresses given by Lewis -- an Oxford literature professor -- on the British broadcasting network in the early 1940s) to help the class learn more about faith in God. It was through the process of studying that book, I rediscovered my own faith. ... The book just reminded me of the simplicity of faith.''
Moore and her husband then enrolled in a Bible study ''and that's when our faith came to life. We realized there was more to life than two cars, a house and a baby. We realized we could have all of that and still be empty our whole lives without God.''
For Moore, the time brought back the memory of a calling she'd received as a child.
''I remember sitting on my bed one night reading the Bible. Steve walked in and looked at me and we both knew that I was going to enter the ministry full-time.
''It was as if He'd been waiting for me to finish a conversation we started when I was 13,'' she said. ''I knew saying no wasn't an option this time because I had been given this incredible second chance.''
So it was that Moore, her husband and their daughter moved to Kentucky so Moore could attend Asbury Theological Seminary.
After graduating from Asbury three years ago at age 35, Moore was ordained and immediately appointed to Athens First United Methodist. While women have been ordained in the Methodist church for a number of years, they were not given full clergy rights of ordination -- equal to their male counterparts -- until 1956.
''People here have been patient with me. They've either gotten used to me or I just didn't leave and they gave up,'' said Moore. ''I just want to help others grow deeper in their faith. I want to help lead them from a place where they are believers to the place where they are immersed in Christ.''
Three ministries
While all three women contend their current churches -- all of which are first appointments -- are accepting of them as female clergy, all will acknowledge some minor irritations with those who question their calling.
''The issue of me being a woman has really not been an issue,'' Kinnersley said of Milledge Avenue Baptist. ''I think people notice my age more than the fact that I'm a woman.
''There have been people in my life who have tried to tell me that the Bible says women can't be ministers. But there's no point in arguing with them. That's a battle I can't fight.''
Bowden agrees.
''I remember I was told it would be hard for me to find a job (with a church) as an older black woman, but I knew I'd been called so I forged ahead.
''I would never debate anyone about whether women are called or not. It's no question -- I know we are called,'' Bowden said.
Moore says criticism of her answer to her calling comes from two places.
''One comes from middle-class women who are concerned for my family. They have a problem with me not being at home. The other simply comes from people who don't like the fact that I'm a woman and I'm a minister,'' Moore said. ''But it's probably the first type that hits me in a more sensitive place because it implies I'm not a good mother and I'm not a good wife because I've dedicated my life to serving God.''
One of Moore's job responsibilities is directing Sundays at the Morton -- a ''beyond contemporary'' evangelistic outreach ministry of First UMC. During her first year in that role, three members of an eight-member worship team left the ministry because they disagreed with a woman leading the services.
''I'll admit I was a little hurt -- but mostly because they didn't talk to me about their decision,'' Moore said. ''If somebody came to me and said 'I have a problem,' I would be very understanding because they stand in the company of some well-meaning people who feel the same way.
''If they absolutely thought they could no longer worship here because of me, I would try my best to help them find a place where they could feel comfortable,'' Moore said. "But I'm not going to argue with anybody about how they translate the Scripture. I'm just so sure that God calls women ... because I have seen the ministry that so many women have been a part of and helped make possible. I'm sure that He has called me. But the Lord -- not people -- changes hearts ... It's not important to me that the world accept women, but that the world accept Christ. That is what my ministry is all about.''

The U.S. Internal Revenue Service has agreed to suspend possible tax assessments against aircraft management companies now undergoing federal excise tax (FET) audits.
Staffers from NBAA and the National Air Transportation Association, along with NATA treasurer Marion Epps and Nel Stubbs of Conklin & de Decker, recently met with senior IRS officials from the Small Business/Self Employed Division to make the case for clear and precise guidance on the scope of FETs on owner-operated use of aircraft that are being used under an aircraft management agreement. The IRS indicated that it would move forward developing new guidelines on the application of FETs with respect to the issue, and the industry participants anticipate that additional guidance will be issued in the coming months.
During the meeting, NBAA and NATA explained that previous guidance on FET applicable to management companies is unclear, and members of both associations face uncertainty regarding their potential retroactive and future tax liability. Since the release of an audit technique guide in 2008 and a chief counsel advice memorandum in 2012, the IRS has become more aggressive in audits of aircraft management companies and charter operators.
