My Own Road to 'SiCKO'
By Eric Turnbow, the "Fifth Beatle" appearing in 'SiCKO'
SEATTLE, WA -- Everyone is full of congrats and affection about this lucky break I caught and the "15 minutes of fame" I will receive by actually making it into the Michael Moore movie 'SiCKO.' I am very excited and quite passionate about this subject. My part is just a small segue that moves the story from Canada and its health care system, over to England and its universal care which I was able to use in a great way while vacationing there in London some 10 years ago.
So here is a journal of my proud day at the movie premier on Thursday, June 14th in Seattle, when I got a rare chance to meet Michael Moore and see his innovative and eye-opening documentary, 'SiCKO.'
First off, they called from Hollywood and invited me to go just one day before the event. I was asked to RSVP, so I cleared my schedule ASAP, hired someone to fill in for me at The Viking, and chose a "guest" to come along and share this cool moment with me. My sister Katherine had emailed me offering to go if it came up. In fact she was the only one with the exception of her son that showed any interest in driving so far just to see a movie. It also helps that she lives in Seattle! Duh! So I asked her and she said yes. Very cool.
We were to meet at the venue by the Paramount just off Pine Street called "AMC Pacific Cinemas," which was on the fourth floor of a shopping mall. My sis wanted to buy me lunch, so we were to meet at 5 p.m., giving us over an hour before we needed to check in with Michael Moore's crew. I left Olympia around 3:42 p.m., and with a little traffic hassle here and there I actually arrived at the theater by 5:07 p.m. I did not make even one wrong turn and landed in the parking garage in the same building as the theater! Katherine was stuck in traffic, but arrived within a half-hour. We had delicious Margaritas and chicken quesadillas at a little Mexican bar just a small walk away from the venue. Yummy.
So we checked in as VIPs, and were escorted to a roped-off section of the screening room and sat with the press. Michael Moore arrived with his sister, Anne Moore, who greeted me and said, "You are the one that provided some much needed comic relief in the middle of our little picture, thank you." And that was coming from one of the producers! Michael greeted the crowd and announced he would have a question and answer session after the film. Then he took his seat about three feet from us, directly in front of me, down two rows.
So we watched the flick. I loved it! I say, just go and see it. I do not want to spoil it for you. I will say that my part arrives about halfway through the film. Michael plowed through four hours of my vacation videos and carefully edited them down for this transitional time in the movie. They included:
∙The plane ride to England.
∙Singing an a capella original song "Oh England" at the London hotel with my friend Ken.
∙Sitting on the steps of the legendary "Abbey Road Studios" where the Beatles recorded the bulk of their work. I was shooting the cover art for my debut album "I'm Alive," which was released in 1998.
∙My famous fall on Abbey Road where I was walking on my hands for the unique photo opportunity.
∙Waking up in the hospital after having my shoulder pushed back into place by English medics.
∙Enjoying my "less than $10" medication that came along with me FREE MEDICAL SERVICE!
Michael makes the comment that I had to enjoy London, "My own way." He then proceeds to go to England to see if what I say is true about the meds and the FREE health care. If you watch the entire credits, my name appears in alphabetical order, just above Eddie Vedder, of Pearl Jam fame!
So after the movie, Michael addressed the crowd for about a half hour. The first thing he did was point me out by name, and I got a loud cheer of recognition. This was the highlight for me. I stood up and put my hands in the air in acknowledgment, and the he said something like, "Eric gives hope to all those musicians in the world out there." So that was awesome.
On the way out of the complex I was actually recognized by several people. This was cool, since in the film I was sporting a beard, a mustache, and much longer hair. All in all it was a great night, quite a highlight for a young kid like me from Olympia, Washington! Thanks, Mike!
My sister Katherine seemed to enjoy herself, so I dropped her at her car and headed back to Olympia with a big smile on my face. And there you have it. Thanks, everyone, for your support and interest. By all means go and see this movie! It opened on June 29th, and I simply cannot wait to see it again!

Sean Paul – She Doesn't Mind Lyrics
Oooh [x7]
Girl I got you so high, and I know you like
So come and push it on me, if it feels alright
When you drop it low, and break me off
No, she doesn't mind (aight)
She doesn't mind (aight)
She doesn't mind
Girl I got you so...
[Verse 1]
Push it back 'pon it, bring it back 'pon it
Gimme di ting becah mi waah fi lock 'pon it
Wine it, wiggle it, set di track 'pon it
Two more shot, now we inna hot 'pon it
Two girl, and dem ready fi jump 'pon it
Two to my world, and mi ready fi tump 'pon it
Ready fi run 'pon it, ready fi dump 'pon it
Tag teaming fiyah truck mi pump on it
Hands up high, we burning up the sky
We got the dance floor crazy, we got the club on fire
I like the way you dance, you got me in a trance

This term the Supreme Court will decide two important civil rights cases. In Fisher v. University of Texas, the use of racial and ethnic preferences in undergraduate admissions is challenged as unconstitutional. And in Shelby County v. Holder, the constitutionality of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act is at issue; that statute requires some jurisdictions in the United States to "preclear" with the federal government any changes related to voting practices. The Center for Equal Opportunity has joined in both challenges.
Roger Clegg is President and General Counsel of the Center for Equal Opportunity. Mr. Clegg has held a number of positions at the U.S. Department of Justice, including Assistant to the Solicitor General, where he argued three cases before the United States Supreme Court, and Deputy Assistant Attorney General of the Civil Rights Division.

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are diseases of the blood and bone marrow in which blood stem cells do not mature into healthy red or white blood cells, or platelets. The immature blood cells, called blasts, do not function normally and either die in the bone marrow or soon after they enter the blood, causing a lack of healthy cells and potential health complications.
There are several types of MDS, classified according to the cell shape, cause and clinical presentation :
Our patients with MDS are treated at the Moores Leukemia and Lymphoma Unit.
You can also review the tabs at top of this page for information on MDS symptoms and risks, diagnosis, and treatment.
MDS often do not cause early symptoms and other conditions may cause the same symptoms. Symptoms may include:
Age and past treatment with chemotherapy or radiation therapy affect the risk of developing a myelodysplastic syndrome.
Additional risk factors include:
Following a physical exam and medical history, your doctor will order blood tests to assess your red and white blood cells, as well as the amount of hemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen, in the red blood cells. Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy may also be performed. Using this information, your physician will be able to determine the type and stage of MDS.
The stages of myelodysplastic syndromes are:
Patients may also receive chemotherapy or blood and marrow transplantation (BMT).

D-Day anniversary brings back memories for Horace Calhoun12:43 pm | June 6, 2012
The pitch storm-cloud of war hung heavily over Europe in 1943. Churchill's bold plan to crush the Axis' forces by way of what he called the Italian peninsula's "soft underbelly," had failed. Americans, from our foothills here in northeast Tennessee to the bustling metropolises of Chicago and Los Angeles, were becoming more and more disparaged with what they read in newspapers of the day. From the Fallschirmjäger-defended stone fortress of Monte Cassino, to the Malaria infested beachhead of Anzio, young Americans were paying a perilous toll amidst the fight against Hitler's armies in the mountainous Gustav Line.
It seemed as if the Allies would never find an adequate route into the heartland of the Third Reich's naked aggression. It seemed as if the muddy purgatory of battle that Italy had become would stretch out and consume the whole of the Allied forces in the Mediterranean, or perhaps the whole of Europe itself.
And then the early summer of 1944 came, and with it a renewed allied plan for penetrating "fortress Europe."
The Allied invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944 was the action adjacent to the Eisenhower-led plan that would remedy the bleak situation for the Allies. The invasion forces, as well as resources allocated for the invasion, composed the largest amphibious military operation in the history of our planet. In the wake of the invasion's might, an influx of American citizen soldiers braved the U-boat wolf-packs in the English Channel together, and flooded into the hedged farmland of Southern France to fight.
One of those citizen soldiers was Horace Calhoun. He was 19 years old.
Calhoun was born and raised in the Roan Mountain community by the clear waters of Heaton Creek. Like the generations of purely agrarian Americans before him, Horace's father, Edward, tilled the farmland of the Roan valley to provide a living for his wife, Blanche, and their children. During his teenage years, Horace's competitiveness led him to the gridiron. In 1940 he became the first quarterback of the Cloudland High School Highlanders, an accomplishment that places him at the very beginning of the dominant program's lineage.
Horace's life changed irrevocably after the attack on Pearl Harbor, and he candidly spoke about it.
"I knew at that moment, when the paper said the Japanese attacked, that I was going to serve my country overseas," said Calhoun in the comfort of his Hampton home. "The attack was so quick and without warning. It all felt amiss to me; something had to be done. I had heard about Hitler and the Nazi regime when I went to sign up in '41, and even whispers about some of the (atrocities) being committed in camps. The army recruiter I saw at that time, he talked a lot more with us about the European conflict. I signed up wanting to go to Europe, but I would not see action for another two years."
In the period between 1941 and February of 1943 Calhoun was stationed stateside in a maintenance company. It was during this period that he gained his expert status in field communications, as Calhoun became a top level field radio operator with a mastery of Morse Code. He still retains the aforementioned Morse skills to this day, and demonstrated them on the kitchen counter in his home. A clear S.O.S. and an even clearer tap-spelling of my name showed me the depth of his continued proficiency.
In 1943 Calhoun was transferred to a combat-ready unit attached to General George S. Patton's 2nd Armored Division. He would make a 16-day journey across the Channel with his unit a few weeks after the Normandy invasion. Lahar, France became his new home for the time being, and General Patton became his new supervisor. General Patton's outlandish propensity for the forward advance in infantry and armored warfare, as well as the his infamously foul language, had an immediate impact on the teenager from Heaton Creek. He laughed while recalling the commander's unique disposition.
"The instant you were on duty you knew he was around, I mean even when he wasn't around he was around, you know. We had standing orders and there were severe consequences if it wasn't carried out as he saw fit. Some of the other boys loved him, some, you know, they didn't. But I always kept my mouth shut and went about my duty on patrol, or when we kept the prisoners. He had a certain way about him, the way he would yell that mess, people listened and if you didn't, you got outta the way!" Calhoun shared.
After a year of combat action as a radio operator on a halftrack and an infantryman on patrol, Calhoun was tasked with guarding Nazi prisoners in Western Germany. It was during this time that he spoke with high-ranking Wehrmacht officers on a daily basis. One general in particular spoke to Calhoun about the relief he felt when he learned his captors would be American and not Soviet.
"One day we were out in the yard and a new General came in. He was in full dress like most of their people. They (the Germans) were very disciplined soldiers. They never went around in sloppy dress. Anyway, this General comes up to me and tells me that he thanked God when he saw Patton's tanks coming towards his troops. He and his men had prayed that the Russians would not get to them first. They were all in this pocket there in southern Germany so it was very likely that the Red Army would pick them up if we didn't. They didn't want that. They knew that we would not mistreat them. There was a real fear amongst them when it came to the Russians," Calhoun recounted.
He came back to the mountains of Northeast Tennessee in 1946, after three years of service in the last World War. He married his next door neighbor, Ruth Jones, in 1948, and would remain her devoted husband until her passing in 2010. With her he raised two children, Debra Calhoun-Little and Jerry Calhoun. He took a job at North American Rayon as an electrician in 1947, a career he would retire from 50 years later. He is still a spiritual leader and deacon at Eastside Freewill Baptist Church, and will continue to be for many years. He is a peaceful, humorous man that I have been proud to call great-uncle for the past 27 years. For the friends and family around Calhoun today, he has been and continues to be a joyous father, grandfather, and personal mentor.
Debra and Jerry would each start families of their own with Danny "Zeke" Little and Teresa Tipton-Calhoun, respectively. Danny and Debra have two children of their own, Alan Little and Jennifer Little-Hicks; while Teresa and Jerry are the proud parents of Jessica Calhoun and Sara Calhoun. Jennifer married Brian Hicks, and they in turn made Calhoun the proud great-grandfather of two boys, Bryson and Brody Hicks.
In this our own age of strife, we should never forget to remember those who have sacrificed overseas by name. By taking a moment to reflect on the peaceful lives of men like Horace Calhoun, we can also reflect upon the need for peace in the lives of military personnel in overseas conflict today. We can all honor everything that our veterans have fought to preserve by looking constantly at their individual histories, and hopefully think about bringing them back to share their joy with family and friends again. The impact of having them around serves to enrich our collective lives. Just ask anyone that knows Horace Calhoun.

Responsible packaging
We offer a wide range of natural products, most of which need protection during shipping, storage and display. Perishable items prepared in our bakeries and delis — soups, salads, grab 'n go hot and cold foods — require food containers. Bulk foods and personal care items need bottles, jars or bags. And at the check stand, shoppers may ask for a bag to take their purchases home. From the largest shipping container to the smallest sample cup, we encourage and provide products that are minimally packaged and use materials that are reusable, compostable or recyclable.
By working with vendors, local government agencies, and industry organizations on waste-reduction initiatives, we try to be a leader in the responsible packaging movement. Our merchandisers seeks products and food service supplies that meet the following criteria.
PCC guidelines for packaging and food service items:
- Safe for consumers and their communities. Genetically engineered, plant-based materials, such as those derived from corn are to be avoided, if at all possible, as is Bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical used in the production of polycarbonates.
- Made from recycled or renewable materials. Minimal virgin plastic or petroleum-based resins and no virgin wood fiber are allowed.
- Manufactured locally, whenever possible, and under conditions that incorporate safe practices for workers and clean production technologies.
- Designed to suit the needs of the product appropriately to avoid waste in manufacturing and disposal.
- Comply with regulatory requirements for collection, reuse and disposal. All compostables must be approved by Cedar Grove Composting.
- Perform well and at a reasonable cost.

What kind of jobs can I get with an Associates degree in Office Information Systems?
What kind of jobs can I get with an Associates degree in Office Information Systems?
I have an associates degree in office information systems, which I think is basically the same as computer information technology. I'm continuing my education to get a bachelors in either management or communications, but in the meantime, I'd like to get a part-time job, utilizing my associates degree. Having that degree, I'm sure that I am qualified for almost any clerical position, but I was just wondering if anyone else had the same degree, and where they are working. Or if they know of any other types of jobs that "go" with a degree in office information systems. Thanks!

I would look for support/help desk type of job initially so you can get a wide range of experience in IT then choose a particular focus such as programming, database administration, or network administration as you gain your bachelors degree.

Cristina Ferrare from Hallmark Channel's "Home and Family" stops by Good Day LA to share her recipe for watermelon salad--just in time for the warmer weather.To connect with her and her show, check out her website on the Hallmark Channel, or go to The Hallmark Channel's Facebook page
Cristina Ferrare's Offical WebsiteFollow Cristina on Twitter: @CristinaCooks or @hallmarkchannel #HomeandFamily
Okay, now to the food, so here's how she makes it:CRISTINA FERRARE'S WATERMELON SALAD
1- 5 to 6 pound Seedless watermelon6 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive OilGreek Feta Cheese cut into 12 pieces each ½" inch thick and 1¼ " wide|1 small red onion sliced thin1-cup fresh mint leaves1-cup Micro greens (optional)One 16.9 fluid-ounce bottle balsamic vinegar
REFRESHING MELON DRINK4 cups left over melon1 lime sliced into thin rounds¼ cup mint leaves4 ounces Vodka (OPTIONAL)
SALAD(Make the balsamic syrup first) Pour the whole bottle into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower heat to medium-high and continue to boil until the vinegar starts to thicken and forms a syrup like consistency, about 14 to 20 minutes. Be careful not to thicken too much or it will end up a thick black goop. The best way to check is to use a wooden spoon, if the syrup coats the back of the spoon it's ready to remove from the heat. Let it cool to room temperature before you store in the refrigerator. I use a needle nose plastic bottle to store my syrup after it has cooled. It will last up to 2 month in the refrigerator.
Slice the watermelon into 2" inch round slices. Take your best four round slices and cut each from the middle a 3×3" inch rectangle. Wrap all 4 pieces in plastic wrap and cool in the refrigerator for 1 hour. (SAVE THE EXCESS PIECES OF MELON and set-aside in the refrigerator we are going to make the refreshing drink from that.)
TO ASSEMBLE THE SALAD:Place one 3×3 piece of watermelon on each serving plate and slice them into 1" inch pieces. You should have 9 squares per serving.Add three pieces of the Feta Cheese down the middle of each serving.Add 4 to 5 slices of the red onion over each servingDrizzle 1 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil over each servingAdd 5 to 6 fresh mint leaves over top of each servingScatter Micro greens over topDrizzle Balsamic Syrup overServe immediatelyMakes 4 servingsYou can make a refreshing summer drink by using the excess melons. Place 3 to 4 (depending how much you have left) cups of watermelon in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a pitcher, add the sliced lime and ¼ cup fresh mint leaves and stir. Add ice and serve cold.If you want to make this a cocktail the ratio of Vodka to Melon juice is 1 Ounce Vodka to 1 cup (8oz.) of juice

They have been best friends for longer than they can remember. It was about time they finally hooked up. Tepid at first they eventually lightened up and gave each other a quick kiss. After so many years of friendship, that little act must have made them horny. Helping each other out of their shirts they quickly undressed. We have to say that seeing these girls naked was the highlight of this night.
We found Lexi in Las Vegas trying to pick up girls. When she spotted us she quickly changed her target, and managed to charm us back to her hotel room. We have to say we are glad she did! We were fortunate enough to spend some quality private time with this gorgeous blonde. She was eager to share her best features with us. She slipped off her sexy black dress to reveal the greatest pair of boobs we had ever seen.
This blonde bombshell was giving us her best bedroom eyes all night. Kayla finally had us all to herself and could not wait to capitalize on the opportunity. This girl is an English major at heart, and any good writer will tell you it is better to show than tell. Luckily for us Kayla lives by this advice. When we asked her what she would do for a Girls Gone Wild trucker hat she immediately pulled down her blouse and showed us her boobs.
Lauren and her friends were out living it up during spring break, when they happened across the GGW bus. They knew that no spring break trip would be complete unless they managed to get on Girls Gone Wild. As soon as they got on the bus they were getting topless. Lauren was saying she only liked boys, but the evidence points to the contrary. She seemed more than happy to lick and suck on her friend's perfect boobs.
"The best tits" in town is a bold claim to make. We have seen some amazing breast here while we were around filming spring break. Surreptitiously she removed her bra and freed her beautiful breast from their cotton confines. This is where we get our first glimpse of how great her figure truly is. We begin to see she has something special to bring to the table, and it was not just talk. This girl just might have what it takes to take the title of the best tits in town.
Birthday girl had a sash on, and she was with her best friend celebrating the all-important 21st. The two got pretty wild when the MC invited them on the stage to dance for beads. Before we knew it, the curly haired brunette girl started flashing her tits to the crowd. The birthday girl got into the heat of the moment and started kissing her friend.
When these two brunettes came strolling up with their hot blonde friend we knew they were looking to get wild. They was no hesitation, they got topless right away. Baring their beautiful boobs for all to see. What followed shortly was one of the sexiest displays of Girl on Girl on Girl kissing we have ever had the privilege to film.

MUNISING - After a rough start, Munising won its second Central Upper Peninsula volleyball match on Thursday, beating Big Bay de Noc in three games, 25-12, 25-20, 25-16.
"We're still really young, but we're getting there. They're working hard," Munising (2-4 CUP) coach Myra Lloyd said. "When they communicate with each other, then they do very, very well."
Jenna Hach led Munising with six kills, four digs and 12 assists, while Katie Immel added four kills and eight digs and Cierra Bradley had four kills and four digs.
In addition, teammate Megan Watson had 10 service aces and four digs, while Terri Bond made 18 digs.
Big Bay prevailed in the JV match, 25-20, 14-25, 15-11.
Norway 3, Manistique 0
NORWAY - Errors proved costly as a sloppy night for the Emeralds on the court Thursday led to an easy 26-16, 25-9, 25-19 victory for the Knights.
"We just didn't play well tonight and Norway definitely brought their game," said Emeralds coach Amy Nixon. "We didn't communicate. We didn't play our game. It was disappointing. We had communication and passing errors."
The Emeralds were led defensively by Maryse Hinkson, who compiled 10 digs as well as nine assists. Monica Giles recorded three kills, three blocks and two aces.

I am on my third Kohler Cimarron Comfort Height toilet. We decided to replace an old American Standard that was in my son's bathroom and was clogging every week. My plumber recommended the Kohler Cimarron. The first one he put in was the round seat. 2 hrs after it was installed it clogged! My son was able to plunge it. We called the plumber who was shocked. The next day my husband tried the toilet, not only did it clog it flooded the bathroom! We were not able to un clog it.The next morning we saw that the flood had caused our kitchen ceiling to buckle! The plumber had to come and snake the toilet.We decided that we had a dud. The plumber could not replace it until the Kohler rep got back to him which took a week. Well we then got toilet # 2( same toilet).
We decided not to fix the ceiling until we were sure that the toilet worked. Well it was good for a week and then yup another un-plungable clog! Plummer came back snaked again and this time we got an upgrade - the elongated bowl. Kohler decided that the whole batch at the plumbing supply store must have been bad. Still not fixing the ceiling yet. Well # 3 is going on a week and a half and tonight - yup you guessed it - clogs again! We were able to plunge it.
I am at wits end - I don't know what to do. This toilet was sold as one I would never have to plunge.
I am calling the plumber back tomorrow but I don't know what to do. Do I ask for a better model? If so which one? Have you ever heard of anything like this?
Thanks for your time.

Slumping Ravens fire offensive coordinator CameronBy David Ginsburg
The Associated press | December 11,2012AP FILE Photo
Former Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Cam Cameron speaks with quarterback Joe Flacco during a practice session at the teams training camp in Baltimore.OWINGS MILLS, Md. Cam Cameron was fired Monday as offensive coordinator of the Baltimore Ravens, who have lost two straight and are still striving for consistency in the running and passing game.
Cameron ran the Baltimore offense since the start of the 2008 season for coach John Harbaugh. Since that time, the Ravens attack has repeatedly taken a back seat to the teams defense, and this year the offense ranks 18th with 344.4 yards per game.
Jim Caldwell, who was hired as quarterbacks coach before the season, will assume Camerons duties. Caldwell was head coach of the Indianapolis Colts from 2009-11.
Harbaugh didnt give a detailed explanation for the move, which came less than 24 hours after the Ravens lost to the Washington Redskins 31-28 in overtime.
We put 28 points up, so youre not going to say its a reaction to a down offensive performance. Its not that. I think thats really important to point out, Harbaugh said. Its what I believe is best going forward for our offense and for our football team.
Cam was doing a heck of a job here. He was doing a heck of a job here for a long time. Nobody knows that better than me, and nobody has stated that more times. I believe that. I also believe right now at this time, the timing says this is the best thing, and this is what were going to do.
The move comes with the Ravens stuck in their first losing streak since they dropped three in a row in October 2009. Yet Baltimore (9-4) needs only one win to sew up its fifth straight playoff appearance and holds a two-game lead in the AFC North over Cincinnati and Pittsburgh with three games to play.
I dont know that staying pat wouldnt have gotten us there, Harbaugh said. What you try to do is put yourself in the best position possible as you see it to be the best football team you can be and then go compete and go see what you can get accomplished.
Our first goal right now is to secure a playoff berth. Our second goal is to win the AFC North. Thats squarely in our sights. Our next goal is to secure as high a playoff seed as we can. The next goal is to win playoff games, get to the Super Bowl and win that thing. I feel like this is going to give us the best chance to do that.
Caldwell, 57, was quarterbacks coach for Peyton Manning at Indianapolis before taking over as head coach. He will make his NFL debut as an offensive coordinator on Sunday against the Manning and Denver Broncos (10-3).
I had an opportunity to talk with (the offense) and really, in a nutshell, I just tried to make them understand that what were trying to do is get that much better, Caldwell said, holding his index finger and thumb about an inch apart. Thats about it. Thats a difficult task, obviously, trying to get that done in this league. But thats what were shooting for. Its not a system change. Obviously the Ravens offense is the Ravens offense. Its not a philosophical change. John sets the philosophy here of this team and we follow suit.
Although Harbaugh refused to criticize Cameron, the Ravens offense has sputtered at times this season. Baltimore scored touchdowns on three of its first four possessions against the Redskins but managed only seven points after halftime. Fifth-year quarterback Joe Flacco passed for 182 yards and committed two turnovers in the third quarter.
Baltimores running game ranks 17th in the NFL despite the presence of Pro Bowl running back Ray Rice, who has topped the 100-yard rushing mark only three times (compared to six times last year). Rice led the NFL in yards from scrimmage in 2011.
Flacco, meanwhile, has been erratic while operating the no-huddle attack and has showed little improvement from a year ago.
Maybe things will change under Caldwell. Thats Harbaughs hope, anyway.
The move was made because it gives us a chance to be the best we can be. Its just an opportunity to try to get this thing going, he said. We feel like its whats best for the team at this time. So thats why we made the move. Theres nothing more to it than that.
Flacco has committed pivotal turnovers in the last two games, but those defeats can be attributed heavily to the defense. Two weeks ago, the injury-riddled unit couldnt stop Pittsburgh Steelers third-string quarterback Charlie Batch in a 23-20 loss, and the Redskins moved downfield rather easily during a beat-the-clock touchdown drive in the waning minutes of regulation.
Cameron, 51, went 1-15 as head coach of the Miami Dolphins in 2007 before being chosen by Harbaugh to run the Baltimore offense. The Ravens made the playoffs in each of his previous four seasons, and under his direction Flacco became the teams career leader in passing yards, touchdowns and completions.
Harbaugh worked as an assistant coach for Cameron in 1997 at Indiana. After taking over for Brian Billick in Baltimore, one of his first moves was to hire Cameron.
There is a very human side to this. Cam is my friend, he taught me a lot about coaching, and he is an outstanding coach, Harbaugh said. Personally, this is the hardest thing Ive ever had to do as a coach. Cam has been a significant contributor to all of our successes over the past four, almost five, seasons. Deservedly, he is highly-regarded, and we owe thanks to him for what he did for the Ravens.
In other news, Harbaugh said injured linebackers Terrell Suggs (torn right biceps) and Ray Lewis (torn right triceps) could return Sunday. Harbaugh described guard Marshal Yandas sprained right ankle as somewhat serious but not a break.

Thanks for all of the thoughtful replies. I have to process it all first. But let me add, regarding the limits of the cheating: the evidence I saw aligned with her story. My gut isn't screaming at me like it was between April and June. And my WW is truly a shit liar. Truly.
through Vegas
safe journey WB!
Mister rabbit says, "A moment of realization is worth a thousand prayers."
Chester, welcome. If an allowance is really the way you want to go, fine. Maybe set it to comparable daycare rates? IDK. Otherwise she needs to own her shit and spend responsibly. Maybe run every purchase by you first for a while.
AS, I remember one of your posts where SHE didn't know if MC would work or if she was even interested. Bro, she's playing you. I also suspect it went farther. Keeping you on edge keeps you from looking deeper into what occurred.
T needs to be out of this picture. She is not a friend of the marriage. Regardless of what the issues were before the A, they are moot now. At least until this is resolved.
Please read, research and implement the 180. http://www.survivinginfidelity.com/faq_bs.asp#FAQ11
ETA just read your last post, to me, something seems off. Especially the defensiveness/anger. Just watch your back.
[This message edited by 5454real at 6:05 PM, July 31st (Wednesday)]
My gut still thinks she's telling the truth, that she spilled it all on DDay. I'll keep a jaundiced eye out though.
Well, I might as well kick that hornets nest tonight and get it over with.
your post pains me to the core. what everyone else said above, here are a few short responses:
Her cheating was "limited" (ha!) to making out and heavy petting three times over three months
lies! minimisation. you're in for TT. I pray and hope I am wrong, I know I am not.
there was no intention on her part to go past kissing and petting to actual sex
after the first two weeks, she becomes angry, perhaps from the 5 years of my bullshit dumped on her
blameshifting; classic WS defence; and youre taking it, dont. stand your ground. nothing M related pre-A stuff till remorse, NC, transparency and some serious counseling on why she did what she did - I'd even say skip the MC till she starts owning her shitty choices and her A. period. no bullshit. you'll never be able to have peace or any R of any sort with someone who deceives you and continues to blameshift.
This will let her breathe and catch up on sleep
probably also catch up on her wayward behaviour; my W went for a trip 'to her family' and started her second bout of cheating there; away from my eyes.
WS's tend to want to "get away" from the BS because the AP/A itself is an addiction and they are going through withdrawals. The point of getting away is to continue contact with AP (away from the BS's prying eyes) or to continue some form of the A behaviour. How many times have we seen a BS tell of the WS who moved away or "needed some time" just to go on to have some quality time with the AP/continue contact or take the A underground. dont fall for her bullshit.
T might put something into her head that won't help us.
trip will fuel a desire for separation, this early in the process
WS's thrive on fear and desperation. they will control the fuck out of you if you show them that they can control you. I was manipulated mercilessly by my 'sweet, pure' W for months, if not years, even post-DDay when I couldnt believe the horrors she was capable of. I know you love your W, we all do/did. SHE should want this to work, SHE should be the one fearing the outcome for HER actions. Its called being adults; everything has consequences.
her saying
"I really want this to work." &
I'm sensing distance from her, anger, and we stopped having sex
clearly a case of actions not matching words. hold the bar high and stop jumping through hoops yourself. you can ONLY work with her when her words and actions start matching up.
It was my only hammer to use on my wife.
there is nothing you can/will do that will change her or fix her, that is all on her to own (DETACH - Dont Even Try And Change Her)
And how to do come home to an empty house for seven days? I have no other support here
ATS is a guy here whose suggests that you can only save a marriage if you are willing to give it up
Finally, one night about 90 days in she confessed
AS}}}}} sorry but welcome to the best club no one wanted to be a part of.
I do have one sure fire method of verification, but I want to save it, to give MC a chance first. And as I said before, my WW really truly is a shit liar. The second she was busted, she babbled and kept talking, not once changing her story. Nothing has changed since DDay.
I'll remain vigilant. But I'm going to trust my gut...the last time I didn't, cheating happened right under my nose.
Sands - this part made me uncomfortable for you:
I have committed to MC and that means vowing to put myself on the line, being vulnerable YET AGAIN to be completely crushed, and I am SO worried that she'll suddenly decide she's done and I am not sure I could survive that.
That's why the guys are telling you to be willing to lose it - to get brave.
It is that fear that is allowing you to be manipulated re:
I promised not to bring up D when the MC asked us to at the end of the first MC session. It was my only hammer to use on my wife.
I understand fear, and I understand being manipulated.
Be strong. I believe women are hard-wired to respond to that.
Conquer it, master it, kick its ass.
It confuses me. If D-talk is your hammer - yet you fear it from her - it's her hammer too.
Everyone has already given you some great advice. I don't have much to add.
I hope that you are right but it seems way too convenient that it ended at 'heavy petting' with that much emotional connection. You can bet your ass POSER was looking to score and push that line. Not sure why she would stop there if she was able to get herself to that point. I like the fact that you are trusting your instincts. Just stay vigilant.
As many have already told you. DETACH. the only thing you control is yourself. Let go of the M and the outcome. This sucks but you will be ok one way or another.
Personally I'd love a week home alone. Make it my birthday and I'd be in heaven. Maybe you could ask FP if you could crash his party?
I hope that you are right but it seems way too convenient that it ended at 'heavy petting' with that much emotional connection. You can bet your ass POSER was looking to score and push that line. Not sure why she would stop there if she was able to get herself to that point.
Oddly, this fits her personality, stopping before that line. She's always been a bit strange that way. Even while the cheating was going on, she was trying to find the guy a girlfriend, and I saw the attempts. As far as the douchebag goes, he's a 61 year old perpetual milquetoast bachelor who doesn't have an aggressive, initiating bone in his body. He's a hopeless mess around women, even at that age. Like I said, WW knew he was "safe".
She's owned the cheating 100% (have you guys noticed I do NOT call it an "affair"? It's too soft a word for too painful an act), and admits to being relieved that it's over. Interestingly, I just briefly 180ed my wife while I was typing this, and her response was near instant. "Is everything okay?" "Yes, it's fine." A hug and a kiss from her before she left to attend a meeting with co-workers. This time the hug and kiss felt genuine. Ah ha!
Thanks guys. I just want to add that while I appreciate your protectiveness of me, I really don't think she fucked the guy. She was in fantasyland, and her story and the evidence around it has been consistent about how she really wasn't interested in him physically. Seeing him naked would've burst her bubble. Or so my gut tells me.
Her attitude of busting you for pre-A behaviour and that anger and holding off remorse are sending me bright warning signals. Hopefully I'm wrong. Consistent actions which match her words are the only gauge you have and proving that takes months, not weeks. Vigilance, don't give up snooping. Try checking up on her out of the blue, be unpredictable.
POSERs don't need to be aggressively chasing, we've found out through our collective here that WWs (contrary to popular cultural myths) tend to be as aggressive as men, if not more, on getting physical. It takes a switch in their heads (the one they switched off for us once we became routine and boring; I.e their husbands) to become the initiator/chaser or seducer. Sorry you have to hear this, not casting aspersions, just giving you a general consensus of betrayed Menz. Oh, and if I haven't said it enough; they lie. A Lot. It would be an exception for a WW to be forthright about the A on the first DDay. Something to do with shame. I would've thought otherwise if she had not been busted and had confessed.
I know WS's lie, but as I've said before, she really sucks at lying. Really sucks. Bad enough it's laughable. And the evidence supports her story. I guess my particular WW is an outlier on the bell curve of Bad Behaviour.
But thank you for watching my back. You guys are great.
For me, it wasn't even so much finding out new information, it was just that it took a while after DDAY for my brain to upgrade it's bullshit sniffing technology to the latest model. After about a month, my brain was constantly running a program in the recesses of my brain that was comparing one tidbit of 'fact' against another and telling me when she didn't make any sense. For me on many things my brain called bullshit before my gut did.
Again, I really hope it's not the case for you. I don't doubt that it's possible for it to stop at that point, before it reaches sexual-PA stage, us guys here on basically just playing the odds.
One last thing on the topic of the "Did she or didn't she?" sexual aspect:
She was in fantasyland, and her story and the evidence around it has been consistent about how she really wasn't interested in him physically. Seeing him naked would've burst her bubble. Or so my gut tells me.
I don't doubt that could be true. Maybe she found him absolutely repulsive sexually....but that could mean that if sexual activity DID occur, she would be absolutely disgusted with herself in that area in particular, no? If she thought he was gross, old, whatever, and still (subconsciously) had sex with him in exchange for some validation, I can only imagine how shameful that'd feel....and for many WWs, the drive to hide that shame is what fuels TT.
Even while the cheating was going on, she was trying to find the guy a girlfriend, and I saw the attempts.
Again, I really hope you have the complete story....I really do. The really shitty thing about TT is that once there is even one instance of it, EVERYTHING is thrown into question. It's a complete mindfuck. I'm almost at the point with my own situation where I want to say Polygraph or D, take your pick. But you can't throw that down unless you mean it, and I don't think I'm there (yet).
Use the poly, by all means, to get a confession out. But if its come to that, you're probably better off not bothering to try and R anyway. Remorseless waywards only recover enough to do it again later or to become dry adulterers for life, take yer pick.
Poly's are overrated and not entirely accurate.
Their only real use in A related instances is to freak a lying wayward into admitting shit they wouldn't otherwise, that too usually BEFORE the poly happens.

I'll go back to my essential thread killing duties.
