The Supreme Court issued a sharp rebuke to Texas on Monday, ruling 5 to 3 that two regulations on abortion providers place an unconstitutional burden on women seeking to end their pregnancies. In short, Texas lost because the Court asked for evidence that the provisions in Texas House Bill 2—one requiring abortion providers to have admitting privileges at local hospitals, the other that all abortions, even those induced by pill, take place in expensive surgical centers—would actually improve the health and well-being of Texas women; the state came up empty-handed. The implications are remarkable: If courts have to consider medical evidence when weighing abortion restrictions, rather than simply deferring to claims made by state legislators, then the legal basis for a number of other anti-abortion laws purported to be health and safety measures looks dramatically weakened.
Writing for the majority, Justice Stephen Breyer ruled that neither the admitting-privileges nor surgical-center requirement "offers medical benefits sufficient to justify the burdens upon access that each imposes." Breyer noted that when asked during the oral argument for just "a single instance in which the [admitting privileges] requirement would have helped even one woman obtain better treatment, Texas admitted that there was no evidence in the record of such a case." As for the surgical-center rule, it is "inappropriate" for surgical abortion, which carries less risk than common outpatient procedures like colonoscopies and childbirth; and it "provides no benefit" if complications arise from a medical abortion—a procedure that amounts to taking two pills—because complications "almost always arise only after the patient has left the facility."
At the same time, the Court found that both rules amount to "a substantial obstacle" to women seeking abortions. After the admitting-privileges provision went into affect in 2013, the number of clinics in Texas providing abortions dropped by almost half. Those closures, Breyer wrote, "meant fewer doctors, longer waiting times, and increased crowding." If the surgical-center mandate had been enacted, fewer than 10 clinics would have been able to stay open to serve the 5.4 million women in Texas who are of reproductive age. While supporters of the regulations insisted that the remaining clinics could scale up their services to compensate for other clinic closures, it would have required them to increase capacity by a factor of five. "More fundamentally, in the face of no threat to women's health, Texas seeks to force women to travel long distances to get abortions in crammed-to-capacity superfacilities," Breyer wrote.
In a brief concurring opinion, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg tore into Texas' claim that regulations were meant to protect women's health. Instead, she argued, they may actually endanger women by forcing them to seek out unsafe alternatives to licensed providers. Ginsburg noted that childbirth and many other medical procedures that are more dangerous than abortion do not face similar regulatory hurdles. "Given those realities, it is beyond rational belief that HB2 could genuinely protect the health of women, and certain that the law 'would simply make it more difficult for them to obtain abortions,'" she wrote, quoting a ruling against similar abortion restrictions in Wisconsin. "When a state severely limits access to safe and legal procedures, women in desperate circumstances may resort to unlicensed rogue practitioners, faute de mieux, at great risk to their health and safety," she wrote.

While it's unusual to have two competitive primary campaigns this late in the election season, the results will ultimately come down to one thing, Associated Press White House Correspondent Julie Pace told NAA mediaXchange attendees.
"Winning a primary is about one thing — delegates," Pace said. "The only thing that matters is math."
AP's extensive efforts to maintain an accurate independent delegate count, including the intentions of the super delegates on the Democratic side, are of particular importance this year, Pace said, as both Sen. Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump face numerical challenges in capturing their respective parties' nominations despite their momentum. Regardless, this campaign season is different from previous ones, Pace said.
"I haven't seen the public engaged in this way before," she said. While social media has played an outsized role, Pace pointed out that journalists tend to over follow Twitter, while voters appear to be more likely to get their news from Facebook.
AP's Pulitzer Prize-winning investigation "Seafood from Slaves" marks the first time the newsgathering collective has won the coveted Public Service award. While the project had global scope and results—freeing 2,000 slave laborers in Indonesia and spurring changes in U.S. law—reporters tracked seafood via satellite imagery to specific grocery chains and food suppliers to make it relevant to local newspaper readers, AP President and CEO Gary Pruitt said.
Along with upgrading its election platform to cover 5,000 races this fall, AP continues efforts to improve photo and video services, expand local coverage through increased use of member stories, and experiment with the safe use of drones in newsgathering and virtual reality storytelling. AP is also offering discounts for long-term contracts and moving its headquarters to less expensive space to create a state-of-the-art newsroom.
A partnership with Automated Insights that has led to expanded, data-driven automated coverage of earning reports will be extended to minor league baseball coverage—supplementing, not supplanting, human-powered journalism.
"What does the newsroom think of this so-called robo-journalism? They love it," Pruitt said, noting that it frees up resources to cover more in-depth stories as the media landscape continues to shift.
"Search, social media, and mobile are transforming how the public gets its news," said AP Board Chair Mary Junck, executive chair of Lee Enterprises. "But the demand for accurate, objective news from reliable sources is stronger than it's ever been."

Reclamation Mascot to Chase Down Water Wasters
Where can you join a running toilet, a water drop, and a otter all at the same event?
At Central Arizona's Fix A Leak 4-Mile Race and Family Festival on March 9, 2013.
The Bureau of Reclamation joins several other local water management agencies, municipal utilities, and educational institutions in sponsoring the event each year, reminding Arizonans to annually check their plumbing fixtures and irrgation systems for water wasting leaks.
The event will be held at Rio Vista Park, 8866 West Thunderbird Road in Peoria, Ariz. The day starts at 7:00 a.m. with a 4-mile race with a Family Fun Festival following until 11:00 a.m. The race is an officially sanctioned and timed race, followed by a mascot race in which our own 'Otto Otter' will be participating.
There will be food. music, and prizes for the racers. For the kids, there are bounce houses, the mascot race, and a coloring station.
"Fix a Leak Week"
As part of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's ongoing We're for Water campaign, this year's Fix a Leak Week encourages Americans to help put a stop to the more than 1 trillion gallons of water wasted from household leaks each year. The official week is celebrated from March 18-24 this year, but the "One for Water" 4-mile race and festival kick-off the commemorative event in central Arizona on March 9.
"Leaks can account for more than 10,000 gallons of water in an average home every year - enough water to wash nearly 10 months' worth of laundry," said Leeann Spahos, Central Arizona Fix A Leak Week spokesperson. "As a WaterSense partner, we are encouraging consumers to find and fix leaks to save water in our community."
Click the logo below or image above, or contact Reclamation Water Conservation Coordinator Lynne Fisher at 623-773-6273 or email@example.com for more information about the week's activities and race.

Bear Is Confused By Mercy
"You are awfully chipper, my ursine friend," said St. Corbinian. "Have you found a jar of honey?"
"No, Father," the Bear answered cheerfully. "Bear is just enjoying mercy. And failure. Like Bear taught Father about last time. But Bear does want to confess."
"Very well, Bear, I am listening. But something tells me this is not going to go well."
"Father, Bear killed two ponies. And some sheep."
"That's it?"
"It is good to confess your sins. But I am not discerning any contrition. Sorrow for offending God by your misdeeds."
"But Father, you said yourself that when we are weak we are strong in God's mercy. Bear believes in God, and His mercy. And he accepts his failures during Lent because we agreed we cannot help ourselves."
"Oh, my dear creature, how could you confuse God's mercy with his justice? They are not the same thing! Knowing you are going to fail, and accepting that as a fact, is different from not trying to be good, from counting as nothing your sins. To do evil in reliance on God's mercy is called presumption. To fear you will continue to sink into sin no matter what is despair. Both are serious sins."
"Bear is confused by your religion, Father. There is no sense in it. God shows mercy to Bear when he does bad. Yet God is angry with Bear when he does bad. Which is it?"
"Sin offends the Good God who gave you your strength and cunning, and further made you nearly a man, for reasons that remain obscure. That alone should invite you to resist temptation. If you love God, why would you offend Him?
"Sin also makes you dark inside. If you deliberately choose sin, you are choosing the fire of Hell. Yes, you will fail. But sometimes you will fight. It is a bearish business to fight temptation, and you must be every inch the bear! Fight Bear, as for your very life! For something far more precious is at stake: your immortal soul, if you have one.
"What God does about your sins depends on what you do about them yourself, Bear. If you honestly repent and confess your sins -- which includes having the intention of not doing them again -- the Good God will forgive your sins in His mercy."
St. Corbinian held the crucifix he wore around his neck up to the Bear. "This is mercy and redemption, Bear. The Son of God died for our sins. If I were the only person in the whole world, my sins would be sufficient to nail Our Savior onto the tree. Woe is me! Think of all the sins in the world, my Bear! Think of your sins! God's justice is satisfied by the terrible death of His own Son. But for that, we would all be damned. We deserve this death! But Jesus paid our debts for us. If I have ever been a fool in speaking of God's mercy carelessly, may He forgive me."
The old man had become quite animated, and now took a moment to compose himself.
"It is not easy to understand some things, Bear," he continued in a softer voice. "Yes, the Good God gives freely, and shows unflagging mercy. But we can choose to turn our backs on His gifts. Reject his mercy. And we do that when we continue in sin. The burden you bore at my command, Bear. All the way to Rome. Was it heavy?"
"Very heavy, Father."
"Were there times you wished you did not carry it?"
"Often, Father."
"When you think of your sins, remember that burden. But you can put it off through contrition and confession. It will not be me weighing your body down with some trifling burden. It will be the Devil afflicting your soul with great chains. He would make you his slave, Bear. You could no longer stand my company."
"Bear does not want to carry sin or say goodbye to Father for days without end. And now he is truly sorry for the ponies and sheep. He is afraid to go to Hell, and afraid to miss Heaven, but most of all, he is sorry for being bad to the Good God who made Bear as he is. Father?"
"Yes, Bear?"
"Can I confess my sins? Really, this time?"
So the Bear knelt, his massive paws outstretched before him on the ground, and pressed together, as St. Corbinian had taught him. And he poured out his simple, Bearish, sins with such sincerity that the saint was moved to tears.
"I must leave for vespers, Bear," the old man said. "Lent never seems long enough, because we never seem to improve as we would like. But Easter will be upon us, ready or not. Let us get ready together, Bear, and resolve to make the very best of the time that remains."

Cloud-based point-of-sale (POS) provider Vend has announced it has raised $2 million in a funding round led by Point Nine Capital.
Vend secures significant further funding: A big thank you to our customers, backers, team and friends. blog.vendhq.com/post/236234528… #vendnews
— VendHQ.com (@vendhq) May 23, 2012
Point Nine is a German venture capital firm with experience investing in cloud-based services, including the popular helpdesk software Zendesk.
Update: Point Nine led Vend's previous funding round in August of last year. That deal saw Point Nine become a major shareholder in Vend, with 8.3 percent of shares, according to documents filed by Vend to the Companies Office.
"Vend is going to improve the life of hundreds of thousands of people working in retail."
In February Vend CEO and founder Vaughan Rowsell talked to Computerworld about building his startup and the 18-month journey towards creating the Vend team.
Rowsell said the funding round in August last year helped the company establish a sales presence in San Fransisco, where Vend has one sales manager.
At the time Rowsell indicated he planned to expand the sales and customer services side of Vend, especially in support of its overseas growth.

Located within easy boating distance of Phang Nga Bay and Phi Phi Island, Rayavadee does the impossible and manages to hold its own amidst all this natural beauty. And whilst it can only be reached by a 10-minute boat trip across the Andaman Sea, it is actually tucked away on a stunning peninsula, and limestone cliffs, lush jungles and sugar-white beaches all contribute to its paradisiacal ambience.
Impressively large villas and vast private residences await you at this luxurious and intimate resort; all coming with a private pool, expansive terraces, and the services of private butlers. The food here is as exquisite and varied as the possible dining locations; be it poolside, on the beach, a rocky outcrop, or even up in the trees.
From the elephant camps and exotic hilltribes of the golden triangle to the ancient temples and royal palaces of chiang mai, a visit to northern thailand can be a life-changing experience…
Include this luxurious Shangri-La in your Oriental itinerary and you've not only got a three-kilometre white sand beach and ecologically-friendly golf course on your doorstep, but ready access to an on-site nature reserve - guests can say hello to macaque monkeys, mouse deer and orang-utans all before breakfast.
This serene yet glamorous getaway is sprawled out amidst lagoons, waterfalls and spice trees leading down towards a white sand beach in Goa. It's a heady mélange of Indian and Portuguese architecture, a melting-pot spirit that's echoed throughout the über-chic guest accommodations.
Atlantis,The Palm has over 1,539 guest rooms and suites, each designed with understated oceanic and Arabic themes with stunning views of the Arabian Gulf or the Palm Island. Many of the rooms and suites interconnect, making them perfect for families.
One of the excellent Kempinski group of hotels The Emirates Palace, as its name suggests, is a truly breathtaking landmark destination and certainly fit for any passing Emir or Scheherazade. Located on 1.3 km of private white sandy beach and surrounded by 85 hectares of beautifully landscaped gardens, it is regarded as one of the most impressive hotels ever built and offers a variety of luxury services to suit every holiday.
The name belies the fact that there are three distinct hotels here, yet they all share the Arabian architectural style of courtyards and minarets, over a kilometre of private beach, 65 acres of lush gardens, many of the resorts incredible facilities and the One&Only passion for service.
Shangri-La have excelled even their own exemplary standards in the creation of this 3 hotel resort. The breadth of stunning accommodation here is only matched by the choice of world-class facilities and sumptuous dining options, and all just 15 minutes from the historic city of Muscat.
With its domed roofs, arched doorways and lofty date palms, there's no doubt this is a Four Seasons with its roots fixed very firmly in the Middle East. Yet thanks to its prime seaside location, character-rich guest quarters and award-winning spa, it's also a decidedly world-class escape that is suitably stunning, stylish and sybaritic. Design-wise it gives every impression of being a sprawling hillside village rising up from the Red Sea.
A truly luxurious home-from-home getaway destination, Porto Sani, located just minutes from the gem-like Aegean, offers you sumptuous living and a family friendly destination designed to ensure that everyone gets a relaxing holiday. Each suite has either a terrace or a balcony, is decorated with the finest of fabrics and luxury woods and includes a Nespresso machine, sumptuous bathroom with rainshower (some with Jacuzzi), and Anne Semonin toiletries.
Cupolas, chandeliers and the calming scent of orange blossom welcome you to The Residence Tunis, an ivorycoloured m'kasbah' that leads down towards a private beach overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Its membership of 'The Leading Hotels of the World' underlines its status as the best pied-à-terre in Tunisia, and whilst its wide-ranging mfacilities make it suitable for anything from a quick golf or spa fix to a leisurely family break, its romantic vibe means itm also attracts couples like moths to a flame.
Almyra, which means taste of the sea, is a cutting-edge, family-run seafront hotel that is unpretentiously luxurious, sitting in 8 acres of landscaped gardens on the Mediterranean shoreline of Paphos, yet only 10 minutes stroll from the picturesque harbour and ancient castle.

Both the red and the white paint were easy to apply on my dog. It washed off completely with one simple bath.

I gotta tell you, I've always loved dressing my dogs up for halloween and making them look completely ridiculous. Not all of them like costumes for dogs though but this one is my favorite. This dye is a unique alternative and it looks great and is easy to use! I can't believe what a great deal it is too, since it's only 9.99. This is a wonderful way to make homemade dog costumes for the fall!

The average price for regular gasoline at U.S. pumps rose 11.19 cents a gallon in the past two weeks to $3.6566 a gallon, according to Lundberg Survey Inc.
The survey covers the period ended May 17 and is based on information obtained at about 2,500 filling stations by the Camarillo, California-based company.
The average, which reached a year-to-date peak of $3.795 in the period ended Feb. 22, is 12.67 cents below the year-earlier price of $3.7833 a gallon.
The recent increase is "one of the exceptions to the rule that most likely crude oil will be the mover and shaker for change in the direction of gasoline prices at retail," Trilby Lundberg, president of Lundberg Survey, said Sunday in a telephone interview. "It was driven by infrastructure problems downstream at the refinery level."
Wholesale price increases related to refinery issues haven't been passed fully along to consumers, and some retailers' profit margins have been squeezed, Lundberg said. Drivers in the U.S. Midwest and West have been among the most affected by higher prices so far, she said. U.S. prices may rise 4 cents to 7 cents in coming days, Lundberg said, and increases may pause before the Memorial Day holiday next week.
Gasoline futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange rose 8.15 cents, or 2.9 percent, to $2.0969 a gallon in the two weeks ended May 17. It was the highest settlement since April 9.
WTI Crude
U.S. gasoline stockpiles rose 2.59 million barrels in the week ended May 10 to 217.7 million, the first increase in five weeks, according to data from the Energy Information Administration, the statistical arm of the Energy Department.
West Texas Intermediate oil on the Nymex rose 41 cents, or 0.4 percent, to $96.02 a barrel in the two weeks to May 17. Prices have advanced 11 percent since April 17, when they reached $86.68, the lowest settlement of the year.
Crude inventories fell 624,000 barrels in the week ended May 10 to 394.9 million, the first decline in four weeks, according to EIA data. Supplies at Cushing, Oklahoma, the delivery point for the Nymex futures contract, increased 575,000 barrels to 49.7 million.
Crude futures probably will fall this week on concern that weaker economic growth will reduce fuel demand, a Bloomberg survey showed.
Eighteen of 35 analysts, or 51 percent, forecast crude will drop through May 24. Seven respondents, or 20 percent, predicted a gain. Ten said there would be little change.
The highest price for gasoline in the lower 48 U.S. states among the markets surveyed was in Minneapolis, where the average was $4.27 a gallon, Lundberg said. The lowest price was in Tucson, Arizona, where customers paid an average of $3.18 a gallon.
Regular gasoline averaged $3.77 a gallon on Long Island, New York, and $4.05 in Los Angeles.

Discussion in 'Associated Content & Writing Articles' started by Delboy2424, Nov 1, 2010.
didnt you ask for a payment up front or deposit?
Find out where they were published and tell them to take them down. You can find your articles by using Copyscape.
Man, sorry to hear about this bro, but you should've gotten the payment up front, or at least 50%. Learn from the experience and move on.
Yeah, you should ALWAYS ask for a deposit. Where did you meet this guy anyway? I'm sorry to say this but there is nothing you can do even if you find his personal info, calling the police won't get you anywhere even if you have his personal info. My best advice would be for you to be more ALERT next time, if you can write a quality article, then don't be afraid to ask for a deposit, and to show your skills, agree to make him a 100 word article so that he can evaluate you.
go to the shit list and report there!
Arent you supposed to contact the mods first and ask for a pm to be sent instead of instantly discrediting another member (assuming he was on here) with only one side?
he wasnt a member of this forum, it was a job on GAF. .... I've already tried contacting the person the articles were published under... well it was quite a few different... A couple of them said that they bought the articles off a guy and the other 2 didn't respond to my message...So how can I make the publisher take down the articles, only proof I have that I wrote them are the emails.. will that be sufficient enough evidence?
not to mention if they already paid for the articles I really doubt they will take them down just because I was screwed
think you may struggle to be honest but you can try - you may just need to put it down to experience and as I said in my opening post make sure you always get something up front so you are not out of pocket - if someone wants to pay for your work they will...
This is happened on BHW??
Sorry for your plight son. I would suggest looking at it as an $800 tuition fee to the college of life.
Learn from it and do not put yourself in that position again.
I wouldn't turn future customers off by asking for a deposit up front either. That would have the affect of turning off customers that do not trust that you will perform and they would be out their money as you are in this situation.
My suggestion in the future is to limit the number you are willing to do at a time, and allow them to download them in conjunction with their payment. That way, both sides will feel somewhat safe in the transaction.
Regarding the lost 8 bucks...Don't fight a war you can't win. Continuing to worry about what is done is only having an affect of continuing to cost you money. (Your time is valuable, isn't it?)
Good luck!
Thanks guy. Guess i'll just have to take your advice and let this be a lesson. Kind of sucks but you win some you lose some..
Thanks anyways guys. Take care
It is time to kiss your money goodbye. And you learned a lesson. As terryv48
says get paid as you produce osem of the work. Besides GAF has an escrow system they call milestones, you should be using that.
Man, sorry to hear that Anthrax. I don't know of much you can do either unfortunetely but definitely try to cover your a** in the future, especially on such large content writing projects. I'm sure you had a ton of time invested in the guy's articles. That just blows big time.
I hope you can find the chump and make his life miserable somehow.
I mentioned this in another thread here, but with the help of a nofollow blog and a copyscape account, you can help protect the licensing rights to all content that you were never paid for. You may never see your $800 from the original client, but you might make more from it yourself. You can also go after almost anybody that uses your content with a C&D order (Just use a template and email it if you must) with the logs proving first post from your Copyscape blog (please read other post).
I'm sorry, but thats life, but good luck finding him!
Wow, sorry to hear that. But at least you know what to do next time and so do I!
"Learn from the mistakes of others, you can't live long enough to make them yourself"
id assume he owns those blogs they are put on.
only other option besides a literal lawsuit.. contact hosting
sorry about that man... i have been screwed in the past when i freelanced for a website. He owed me 3600$ and all of a sudden he vanished, stopped communication etc.. again this was not at BHW
Separate names with a comma.

It's hard not to like Drew Barrymore. Her Boticelli roundness and girlish charm are a welcome reprieve from Ally McBeal's wafer thin flakiness. And she ably inhabits her character as a high school misfit in this goofy comedy about teen humiliation. But in true Hollywood style, she rises above it all, develops poise, and falls for her teacher in a groan-inducing finale. Call it a guilty pleasure. [us, 1999]

Make no mistake, this is not your grandmother's fairy tale: this damsel is not in distress. In this update of Cinderella, Drew Barrymore rescues the prince, fights for the downtrodden, espouses socialism, befriends Leonardo Da Vinci, swordfights the villian, and finds true love. Recommended for those in need of a good fairytale makeover. [us, 1998]

- sayanything
- 5 years ago
- Wedding: October 2014
I noticed we don't have a DIY planning/progress thread yet so I thought I'd start one 🙂
Flowers: We went to check out a florist even though I've been in love with the idea of paper flowers. Seeing hydrangeas in person made me think I really could make them myself and not have to worry about any allergies. I'm being dissuaded by Fiance and Mom, but we'll see if I let myself get talked out of it. Going to make some trials this weekend and see what happens. I've done individual flowers and they've come out well, so I'm going to try a full centerpiece.
Centerpieces: kind of combined with flowers, but would also include the table names. We want something related to our love of Disney, but without being cheesy.
Music: May be less physically DIY, but we both come from very musical backgrounds (and met in the music industry program at college). Our DJ will take all the music we want and arrange it appropriately throughout our reception.
Invitations: May only do partial DIY, but really need to start on ideas for this!
Save The Dates: just the design will be DIY on this part, and only maybe, since I've seen some amazing stuff on Etsy 🙂
Favors: We're hoping for etched pint glasses. Ever the overachiever, I want to try etching a few myself and see how it goes.
Programs: need to figure out so much before even thinking about starting these haha
Welcome Bags: I promised these would be the last things I did so that if I don't get to it it's not the end of the world.
Tell me ladies, what are your DIY ideas, and have you started any?

Non-exhaustion of domestic remedies--Indian--Racial discrimination
Article of Optional Protocol: 5 (2) (b)
The author of the communication (initial letter dated 19 January 1978 with enclosures and further letter dated 25 April 1978) is a 45-year-old Indian citizen residing in Canada, who worked for the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, Government of Canada, from 19 March 1973 until he was dismissed from his post as a teacher in a public school on 10 December 1976. He claims that he was dismissed because of his race and religion and that he failed in his recourse to the Public Service Staff Relations Board because the Adjudicator was biased, ignored evidence and rendered a decision based on preconceived views. After the expiry of the time-limit for appeal the author applied to the Federal Court of Appeal for an extension of the time to appeal. Extension of time to appeal was not granted and his application was dismissed on 14 November 1977. The author concludes that, accordingly, he has exhausted domestic remedies.
The author calls for assistance to obtain justice and his reinstatement. He alleges that he is a victim of violations of articles 2, 7, 14, 17 and 26 of the Covenant.
Before considering a communication from an individual who claims to be a victim of a violation of the Covenant, the Committee shall ascertain, under article 5 (2) (b) of the Optional Protocol that he has exhausted all available domestic remedies.
In the present case the author failed to avail himself in time of the remedy of appeal. Further, the communication does not disclose the existence of any special circumstances which might have absolved the author, according to the generally recognized rules of international law, from exhausting the domestic remedies at his disposal. He cannot, therefore, be considered to have exhausted the remedies available to him under Canadian law.
The Human Rights Committee therefore decides: The communication is inadmissible.

By David Ferris
Ivan Nova, SP, Yankees: We're seeing fewer ground balls and more home runs this year, a bad start. But Nova's also pushed his strikeout rate considerably (from 5.3 to 7.7) and with that in mind, we have to completely recalibrate his upside. The Yankees continue to provide Nova with strong offensive and bullpen support, which has helped him win 25 of his last 31 decisions. This isn't a star, but this absolutely is an underrated pitcher.
Joaquin Benoit, RP, Tigers: It's always something with Jose Valverde in Detroit: plunked batters, messy blown saves, and now a wrist injury. Benoit keeps rolling along in the eighth, posting a 1.99 ERA and 44 strikeouts over 31.2 innings. If Valverde needs any downtime, this is the arm you want. Don't be fooled by Phil Coke's rogue save from Tuesday, Benoit had already pitched and the Valverde injury wasn't known yet.
Ryan Vogelsong, SP, Giants: He's dramatically outperforming his underlying stats, but that story is a year and a half old - Vogelsong did the same thing last season. And low BABIPs don't come as a big surprise from San Francisco pitchers, given the run of the park. A mild amount of regression is to be expected from Vogelsong's current 2.29 ERA, but he's still one of the 30 most reliable starters in fantasy baseball, especially in the pitcher-friendly NL West. Don't outsmart yourself on this one.
Trevor Cahill, SP, Diamondbacks: He's had a bang-up June and his road numbers are terrific (2.30 ERA), but Cahill hasn't figured out the home ballpark yet (4.50 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, just 20 strikeouts against 13 walks). Until Cahill proves he can maintain a consistent BBK rate over two (and preferably a lot higher), his angelic ground ball rate isn't enough to push him into our mixed-league plans. He's just a streamer right now, nothing past that.
Edinson Volquez, SP, Padres: His ratio stats are okay at home (not great), but he never wins there - one victory in nine turns. And his six starts on the road have been awful: 4.46 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, 22 walks against 23 strikeouts. Wait until Volquez pushes his ERA under 4, then see if you can get someone to snap him up. A big strikeout rate is nice, but not everyone becomes a star pitching in Petco Park. Volquez's walk rate continues to undermine him.
Tom Wilhelmsen, RP, Mariners: There's been talk of the M's going back to Brandon League in the ninth inning, but will Wilhelmsen ever open the door? The former bartender has worked a scoreless 10.2 innings this month, allowing just five base runners and punching out 14 men. Eric Wedge still has to respect his clubhouse; he can't change up the closer role with Wilhelmsen dominating like this. When in doubt, bet on the momentum; skippers are reluctant to change something that's working.
R.A. Dickey, SP, Mets: If you fell into this Cinderella Story, he's probably a forced hold: no one is likely to give you what he's really worth in a trade. Dickey throws the hardest knuckleball in baseball history, and he's had incredible command of the pitch as well (less than two walks for every nine innings). It's hard to take his stats from the last five weeks (48.2 IP, 1 ER, 5 BB, 63 K) that seriously; no one is reallythat good. But we've seen enough of the story - remember, Dickey's been consistent his entire time with the Mets - to bank on him as a Top 15 arm going forward, a set-and-forget option. And he has the upside to finish the year in the Top 5.
Daniel Hudson, SP, Diamondbacks: He's had trouble spotting his fastball and getting ahead of batters, but the BBK rate is still in a good place and there hasn't been a velocity dip. Hudson's far too good to keep that 6.60 ERA; go trade for him now and score yourself a bargain.

The words "funniest" and "sweetest" and "greatest" were getting a serious workout. Rickles died Thursday of kidney failure at age 90.
"Having done 24 Dean Martin roasts, I know without a doubt that Don Rickles was the greatest comedian of all time," comic Rich Little said in a statement. "There were few, if any, that were quicker than Don. He didn't think of the next line he would use, he was already thinking of the line after that. There were many times on the roast that I literally fell out of my chair laughing."
Rickles was "such sharp hilarious wit in an era when an insult comic didn't need to be vulgar to be funny," Barbara Eden said, posting on Twitter a photo of them together on "I Dream of Jeannie."
Josh Gad said Rickles' presence "literally stopped me cold due to being starstruck" when they met a few months ago.
"A Legend is gone and there will never be anyone like him again," Rip Taylor said in a statement.
Carol Channing dubbed him "an original, with a unique flair for comedy that was all his own."
Meanwhile, Marlon Wayans noted that Rickles' targets often laughed the hardest at the jokes that came their way.
"I appreciated that he was an equal opportunity offender," Wayans said. "He was raw, biting, no holds-barred. Cross the line? Often. But wow was he funny."
He then he urged Rickles to "Make God laugh."
"I know you're cracking them up in the Great Beyond!" Samuel L. Jackson said, posting a picture of himself with a man he called a dear friend.
Toni Tennille said she "always looked forward to working with him" during her big-band days, and Rose Marie also remembered Rickles as one of her dearest friends.
"What a talent!" the actress said. "He was remarkable and one of our favorites to work with on The Dick Van Dyke Show. … I will miss him something terrible."
"I have wonderful memories of Don joining us on 'Gilligan's Island,' " said Dawn Wells, who played Mary Ann Summers on the show. "[Producer] Sherwood Schwartz made it a four-day shoot — he didn't want him for five, because he didn't think we could last that long.
"My favorite memory however is even more nostalgic," Wells continued. "My father gave him his first job at the Thunderbird Lounge in Las Vegas."
As for Rickles' final Twitter post? It came a little less than a month ago, and — like most of his social media messages — was filled not with jokes, but with love.

Looking for ideas for a family style dinner!
I'm looking for 2 main courses and 2 sides.
Looking for ideas for a family style dinner!
I'm looking for 2 main courses and 2 sides.
hey! For our main course we're having chicken schnizel, prime rib and salmon served family style with grilled vegetables and roast potatoes. Did your venue give you a list of options?
Songstress_7: yes they gave us some choices but also said they can try to make anything we would like!
freckledjasmin: That's awesome
I think Italian food would work great served family style- different pastas, breaded chicken, sausage, veggies, calamari with dipping sauces, tossed salad. Mmm.
Or maybe Southern bbq- pulled pork, shortribs, corn bread, beans, sweet potatoes, salad
Just some ideas 🙂
I don't have two entrees, but we're doing boston butt, sliced and pulled, with an option of bbq sauce for the pulled pork. It will buffet style with potato salad and baked beans and a dessert bar of southern style dessertsl pecan pie, peach cobbler, banana pudding, red velvet cheesecake brownies, and pound cake.
The topic 'What did you or are you serving at your family style wedding??' is closed to new replies.

Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) Enforcement Division agents aided in the search for two Golden Meadow men on March 17 in Lafourche Parish.
The Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office (LPSO) was notified about a sunken vessel near the tidewater docks just south of Golden Meadow along La. Hwy. 1 around 8 a.m. Shortly thereafter LDWF agents and LPSO officers arrived on scene to conduct a search of the area.
Searchers found the deceased body of Orand J. Terrebonne Jr., 33, in the water shortly after 10 a.m. about a half mile from the vessel. The searchers were able to recover the body and vessel to bring back to the dock. Terrebonne Jr.'s body was then handed over to the Lafourche Parish Coronor's Office.
The searchers then began the search for Simon P. Billiot, 32, who was the owner of the sunken vessel. An LDWF agent and Port Fourchon Harbor Policeman were able to fly in a VIH Cougar helicopter to help in the search.
Around 2:30 p.m., they found Billiot in the water clinging to the edge of the marsh a canal over from the sunken vessel. Billiot was loaded into the helicopter and airlifted to Our Lady of the Sea Memorial Hospital and treated for hypothermia.
According to Billiot, he and Terrebonne Jr. decided to go night fishing the previous night and left out of Bobby Lynn's boat launch around 7:30 p.m. Billiot said they went to the bridges near Leeville and fished under the lights without success. In their search to find a better spot, Billiot said they struck an oyster reef and broke the seal on a fiberglass patch on the hull.
Billiot stated that the vessel sank upright and they abandoned it in favor of walking back to town through the marsh. He said that after walking some distance the two of them got separated and he decided to try to stay warm until daylight.
The boat was identified as a 14 foot Polarcraft with a hand tillered 25 horsepower engine.
Agencies involved in recovery and rescue were LDWF agents Lt. Chad Hebert, Agent Stephen Rhodes and Agent Ryan Breaux; LPSO Water Patrol Capt. Dean Savoie, Jeff Prevost, Kent Mathern and Cody Naquin; Port Commission Harbor Police Captain Larry Terry, Chief John Callias, Sgt. Troy Dufrene and Officer Tate Lafont; Golden Meadow Police Officer Reggie Pitre; and VIH Cougar helicopter pilots Grant Mills and Mike Belling along with rescue men Richard Cormier and Steve Johnson.
The LDWF Enforcement Division will be conducting the ensuing investigation. The cause of Terrbonne Jr.'s death is unknown at this time.

Smoking Vicodin
Have you been thinking about smoking Vicodin?
Basically, we would advise you that it isn't worth the risk. Not only is smoked Vicodin often less effective than oral ingestion (how Vicodin works best is when taken orally), but it can also be dangerous. More here, plus a section for your questions about Vicodin at the end.
Does smoking Vicodin work or get you high?
Sure. You can possibly get high when smoking Vicodin. Vicodin is known for its ability to cause a euphoric "high", which can result in Vicodin abuse or addiction even by those with a legitimate prescription. However, Vicodin is intended to be taken orally, and attempting to smoke Vicodin pills is straight drug abuse. In the end, though, smoking Vicodin is unlikely to get you high, as it's not a particularly effective method of delivery for this medication compared with oral ingestion to snorting Vicodin to get high.
What does smoking Vicodin do to you?
Smoking Vicodin allows small amounts of the drug to enter the bloodstream through the nasal passages and lungs. This leads to a very fast effect on the brain. However, you're also inhaling the fillers and binders found in Vicodin pills at the same time. These additional chemicals won't be absorbed by the body; instead, they cause irritation of the eyes, respiratory system, and lungs, and can eventually lead to illness.
Smoking Vicodin side effects
Can you overdose on Vicodin when you smoke it? Possibly, especially when you try to increase dosage to get effect. In fact, smoking Vicodin can result in a number of different side effects, including:
- dizziness or drowsiness
- general weakness
- nervousness and agitation
- nausea, stomach upset, and vomiting
Smoking Vicodin on tin foil
Heating Vicodin on tin foil will work to vaporize the hydrocodone within the medication so it can be inhaled. The high temperatures can just as easily destroy the medication, however, and only very small amounts of hydrocodone are released when Vicodin is burned. And if you try to compensate by smoking more Vicodin: BEWARE. Taking extra Vicodin to try to get a better high raises the risk of adverse effects, and increases your very dangerous exposure to the fillers and binders within the drug.
Smoking Vicodin with weed
It can be dangerous to combine Vicodin with weed due to the effect both drugs have, depressing the central nervous system. Vicodin, like weed, can impact your coordination and judgment, opening you up to the possibility of dangerous accidents. The A combination of smoking Vicodin with weed could also impact your ability to breathe normally.
Is smoking Vicodin bad for you?
Yes. Smoking Vicodin is bad for you. The inactive ingredients found in Vicodin make this method of taking Vicodin dangerous to your health, especially in the long-term. The medication may not even have any effects if you smoke Vicodin, so it's probably not worth the risks to try.
Can you smoke Vicodin?
You can smoke Vicodin, but it's unlikely to have much effect. Smoked Vicodin tends NOT to create a satisfying high and it won't even have its normal pain-relieving effects. In the end, smoking Vicodin isn't advisable as a method of delivery due to the poor rate of absorption combined with the high risk of adverse effects.

Thank you. You have just stopped me from smoking vicodin glad i researched it first.
Actually, hydrocodone (vicodin, lortab, etc) is a prodrug; meaning it has to have a first pass through your liver in order to become active (aka, relieve pain, get you high, etc) Smoking, snorting, or any other route of administration of hydrocodone is worthless and dangerous. If you just have to go down that road, research online, many sites are full of reliable information on how the drug works and ways to reduce the harm that may be associated with opiate use/abuse. If you must use drugs, at least learn about all the effects it may have and how it may affect you body and life as well as how to take them as safely as possible (which of course is staying away from them period). So PLEASE, NEVER smoke, snort or shoot up hydrocodone, it is ineffective and possible quite dangerous.
Hi J,p. From what we've read, drugs METABOLIZE (meaning, they leave the system) by passing through the liver. However, drugs like hydrocodone can enter the bloodstream many ways: GI tract, nasal tissues, or lungs. Smoking Vicodin may have LESS EFFECT than oral administration, but it does have effect, because is passes from the nasal tissues and lungs to the bloodstream, and then crosses the blood-brain barrier to affect the central nervous system. That said, we DO NOT RECOMMEND smoking Vicodin…ever. It leads to chemical dependence, substance abuse, and addiction.
I've snorted vicodin and percacet and it did work good for me sometime I chew them and they work great for me when I drink I swallow them cuz I drink a lot sometime
I find this page useful I was going to smoke vicodin

We're excited to announce the newest resident at our bar: BrewDog LIVE - a 'real ale for modernists'.
We've been working with Scottish craft brewers, BrewDog, to launch their LIVE beer outside of their own bars for the first time and we've chosen six of our London pubs to initially serve the exclusive beer.
BrewDog LIVE is an uncarbonated version of some of their other core craft beers. Developed by the brewery to create a cask-style beer with the consistency of a keg, it's conditioned with live yeast and fits perfectly within our line-up of other brilliant cask ales and keg beers.
Having BrewDog LIVE in Nicholson's pubs is going to give autumn at Nicholson's a compelling dimension for all of our beer lovers. We're fully committed to housing and serving the latest beer trends and BrewDog LIVE will make a fantastic addition to our extensive range of quality beers and really pays tribute to our already established cask ale selection.
We're going to be rotating the beer every month so make sure you don't miss out on trying each one of the BrewDog LIVE range; from the 5am Saint, to East Coast Crush and Dead Pony Club.
Pop in and visit The York in Islington, the Hoop and Grapes, Doggett's Coat and Badge, The Clachan and Woodins Shades for an exclusive sensory experience this Autumn - we can't wait to see you at the bar!

DPI/AP Reports 2012
Riku Virtanen visited DPI/AP office.
On Friday, 9th March, 2012 a young man named Riku Virtanen and his young interpreter Jenni Kallio visited DPI/AP office.
Riku came to Thailand for a conference and he used his opportunity to visit DPI/AP to learn about our mechanism and networks. He wanted to know about the difference between DPO's for and of persons with disabilities as well as information about DPI/AP work. As opposed to this DPI/AP learnt about the situation in Finland and The Threshold Association. We had a discussion about the situation in Cambodia, Philippines, Thailand and Finland. As well as we talked about Human Rights Defender and Disability Activists. Besides we spoke about the difficulties to involve DPOs in the policy mechanisms.
