I needed to write 31 thank-you-for-attending-my-send-off-party e-mail messages. Instead of having a generic letter that I'd send to lots of people all listed in To: or Bcc:, I decided to personalize it a bit by including their nicknames, two-year goals, and a personal message I'd add to each letter in different places.
Fortunately, my mail client was up to the task. One of the benefits of having both your contact information and your mail client in an easily-programmable environment is that you can hack together a quick program to do exactly what you want.
I had typed everyone's two-year-plans into my contact information manager's Notes field following a special format. It was the work of a few minutes to record and run a macro that extracted the data and created a signature for each person who attended my send-off party.
I then wrote a couple of short functions that looped over the currently displayed contact records and drafted messages for each of them following a template.
This resulted in 31 drafts I could edit and send without hassles. Much fun!
For future reference (and for the handful of Emacs geeks or learners in the audience), here's the code I used to make it all happen:
(defun sacha/bbdb-send-form-mail (bbdb-record &optional subject template) "Compose a form message to the people indicated by the current BBDB record(s)." (interactive (list (if (bbdb-do-all-records-p) (mapcar 'car bbdb-records) (bbdb-current-record)) (read-string "Subject: ") (read-string "Template (<NICK>): "))) (if (consp bbdb-record) (let ((records bbdb-record)) (while records (sacha/bbdb-send-form-mail-1 (car records) subject template) (setq records (cdr records)))) (sacha/bbdb-send-form-mail-1 bbdb-record subject template))) (defun sacha/bbdb-send-form-mail-1 (bbdb-record &optional subject template) "Compose a form message for one person." (if bbdb-inside-electric-display (bbdb-electric-throw-to-execute (list 'sacha/bbdb-send-form-mail bbdb-record subject))) ;; else... (cond ((null bbdb-record) (error "record unexists")) ((null (bbdb-record-net bbdb-record)) (message "%s record unhas a network addresses." (or (bbdb-record-name bbdb-record) "Unknown"))) (t (bbdb-send-mail-internal (bbdb-dwim-net-address bbdb-record) subject (list bbdb-record)) (goto-char (point-min)) (when (re-search-forward "--text follows this line--" nil t) (forward-line 1) (insert template) (goto-char (point-min)) (while (search-forward "<NICK>" nil t) (replace-match (or (bbdb-record-getprop bbdb-record 'nick) (bbdb-record-name bbdb-record)) t t)) (when (bbdb-record-getprop bbdb-record 'signature) (goto-char (point-max)) (insert "\n") (let ((p (point))) (insert (bbdb-record-getprop bbdb-record 'signature)) (fill-region-as-paragraph p (point)))) (goto-char (point-min)) (if (re-search-forward "^Subject: $" nil t) (end-of-line))))))
I used M-x local-set-key to bind sacha/bbdb-send-form-mail to M. * M then applies the function to all displayed records. ../emacs/miniedit.el makes it easy to edit long strings in the minibuffer, and that made the template much easier to write.
Emacs totally rocks. Nothing else has ever given me this much power.

Minister defends Graylands report delay
The Minister for Mental Health Helen Morton says a report on the wrongful detention and drugging of a man at Graylands Hospital has been delayed to allow the nurses involved to give evidence to the investigators.
Mrs Morton ordered the investigation after a man was mistakenly admitted to the hospital, after being wrongly identified as a patient who had earlier been reported missing.
The man was given strong psychotic medication and suffered an adverse reaction before the mistake was realised.
The Health Department was due to hand its report on the matter to the Minister last week, but has asked for an extension until next Monday.
Mrs Morton says the request for an extension is fair and reasonable.
"It has been delayed to afford natural justice to the nurses that want to make a response to the implications in the inquiry, in terms of their involvement in the incident," she said.

REPORT DATES: July 19 (rookies), July 24 (veterans)
SITE: Marie P. DeBartolo Sports Centre, Santa Clara, CA
CAMP CONFIDENTIAL: The NFC champions will be aiming to get the most out of what may be the most gifted roster in football from top to bottom. Finding a replacement for the injured Michael Crabtree (torn Achilles), perhaps the Niners' best receiver since Terrell Owens, is paramount. Anquan Boldin goes from Super Bowl antagonist with Baltimore to Colin Kaepernick's top outside threat right now but Boldin is more of a move the chains-type possession guy at this stage. A.J. Jenkins, the team's first-round pick out of Illinois in 2012, has worked hard to add strength in the offseason and needs to step up. On defense, all eyes will be on the secondary where 2013 first-round pick Eric Reid will be asked to replace Pro-Bowler Dashon Goldson, who left for Tampa Bay in free agency. Veteran corner Nnamdi Asomugha also hopes for a resurgence as he returns to Cali in an effort to garner some much-needed depth outside the numbers.
PRESEASON SCHEDULE (All Times Eastern):

Hey everyone I am new to this site and spent the last couple hours reading over some posts trying to find some information however, most of what I have found has been fairly old.
So here is my situation, about a year ago I started lifting frequently, before I was in the military and stayed fit but now I want to put on a little more mass. I am 32yo 5'11" and about 187. I am not trying to get super big, I just want to put on some more muscle. Like i said I have been working out frequently over the last year along with a very lean high protein diet. I have also been taking supplements such as creatine, proteins, amino acids... however, I really haven't see that big of a change.
So what I am asking is what would be suggested for me to reach my goal? I am not turned off to the idea of a steroid but I want something that I can do a short cycle and see a decent result from. (I am not asking for the miracle pill) just something that will help me a bit. With that said I have started doing some research on D-Bol. Is this something that would be good for someone like me? and what other things should I take with this?
I have read some of these forums and seen a bunch of people giving guys shit and telling them to do their research.. That is what I am doing here. I am trying to ask people who obviously know more than I do about this to help me reach a decision. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

October 4, 2011 > CSU accepts Fall 2012 applications
Starting October 1, the application period begins for students looking to attend a California State University campus in fall 2012.Students intending to apply for fall should visit the website www.csumentor.edu to complete the online application. CSU Mentor is the best system-wide source for updated information on applying to campuses and programs."Many high school and community college students are making the exciting choice to invest in their future by earning a bachelor's degree," said Nathan Evans, director of CSU Enrollment Management Services. "College is the time when students get to focus their education on subjects they are passionate about and build lifelong connections."During the application process, prospective students are strongly encouraged to be aware of campus requirements and deadlines. High school seniors and community college transfer students are especially encouraged to apply no later than November 30. After that date, most CSU campuses will stop accepting applications.The next step after applying is to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Nearly half of CSU undergraduates receive enough in financial aid to cover the full cost of their tuition fees. CSU students also benefit from one of the lowest tuition rates in the nation.Many campuses remain impacted due to the continuing decline in state funding and the high demand for a CSU education. Students applying to impacted campuses may face additional criteria, such as a higher eligibility index or grade point average, with students in the local area receiving priority in most cases. A list of impacted campuses is provided here.Programs may also be impacted, meaning that students may need to meet additional criteria to apply for a particular program. A list of impacted majors is provided here.In general, students are encouraged to apply to multiple CSU campuses as a backup in case they are not admitted to the campus or major of their first choice.During the summer of 2012, new CSU first-time freshmen students needing to strengthen their English and math skills will be eligible for an early start. The CSU Early Start initiative requires students who do not show proficiency through testing or other exemptions to take classes in summer that focus on those skills."Preparation for college lays the foundation for student success," said Eric Forbes, assistant vice chancellor of CSU Academic Affairs. "Students in CSU Early Start will begin the fall semester actively using the knowledge and skills that are required every day on a college campus."Students will be allowed to attend courses at a nearby CSU campus or community college if necessary. In addition, fees for Early Start will be waived for students qualifying for certain types of financial aid. Campuses will communicate more information on Early Start throughout the admission process.

The person that said in another thread that "you can't keep bringing the same players back and expect different results" was dead on the money. I like bringing Paul back. Every year removed from his arm surgery might bring him closer to being the horse he was projected to be as a Metropolitan phenom. But, this is the absolutel LEAST the front office could do this winter to start turning this thing around.
I am going to keep beating the drum, and I am sincerely sorry to those who are tired of hearing it... this franchise is rolling in cash. Ownership is just not happy if their profit margin doesn't increase by a certain percentage every year. They can afford to up the payroll signifigantly, to include those two frontline pitchers the Reds desperately need IN ADDITION to Wilson. They can do this, and they simply won't. Don't ask me to prove it, because I obviously cannot. But, we are fools to accept their cries of poverty, goals of being "competitive" and the constant stream of crap from this collection of buttoned down business geeks who care nothing of winning and play us for suckers year in and year out.
The Reds are one of the greatest franchises in the history of the game, and ownership is treating it like Colorodo Springs of the International League. I am sick and tired of mediocrity and contentment with mediocrity. I used to the be most positive poster on Redszone, but have been turned into a grumpy old man by these grumpy old men.
Start with Wilson, fine. But, there had better be more to come.

Amy Winehouse, is that you?
Comedy 101: If you're going for offensive, you have to be funny.
Seriously, that was Limbaugh-esque in its complete laziness.
The pretty picture in TFA is caused by the nebula being lit up by radiation (mainly ultraviolent) from the dying star at the center. As the star dies from running out of stuff which is easy to efficiently fuse in the core, the star undergoes contractions and expansions which push the outer layers away to form a nebula. The term "planetary nebula" is a bit misleading- they are called that because they look like planetary discs if one looks for them in a small telescope. Phil Plait has a pretty good summary of what we are looking at - http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2011/07/25/a-glowing-bubbly-bauble-in-space/ [discovermagazine.com]
While that's a nice story, it's probably mostly incorrect. Most planetary nebulae like this are created when a massive Population II star (over 120 solar masses) that formed in a metal-poor region that was usually deposited by a population III star, explodes in a pair instability supernova [wikipedia.org]. This is a destructive explosion that usually completely obliterates the original star in one blast, having converted up to a fifth of its mass into iron or higher elements. It isn't some pulsing thing that happens ove
It's weird to have Kepler to investigate it
Exactly because Kepler looks at the star, and through its variations detects planets.
No star, what's Kepler supposed to do?
Also, it doesn't zoom on the subjects, it examines several at once.
By all means point Hubble at the Nebula, not Kepler, unless I'm missing something
Great! Now it makes sense
But I supposed this is for a 2nd stage Kepler observation, (unless it's already in its field)
I guess on a terraforming planet, this would be the start of getting some real self sustaining atmosphere and biological movement.....next step would be single cell organisms appearing, and so on....might be the next earth in a few million years if the moon is able to sustain enough rainfall...

People have nice suggestions. My only other thought is to let your mom some cuddle time with the baby to herself. Maybe ask her to look after the baby while you go for a short walk or maybe a nap. There is something very special about just being with the baby ( especially when they look at you and then go sleep. You feel so trustworthy and comfortable)My MIL still talks fondly about the 30 minutes that I left her with the baby 4 years ago. I was careful not to "impose" with requests for babysitting and my MIL was careful not to overstep and I think she ended up spending less special time with the baby than she may have wanted. I have another on the way and I think I'll worry a little less about imposing on her.
.... When I hold him I feel a song coming to me but because I sing badly and off key I can't test it out while DIL is around. And I know I have a grandson song bubbling! Have you told ever told her this? I give my DIL the respect and space she needs. She is the mommy. I just wish she understood all I want to do is hold the baby and let my love for him bloom.Maybe she is really conscientious and doesn't want you to feel like you're being taken advantage of. Again, have you told her what you want to do? If she's a good mother (and we have no reason to think she isn't) she'd almost certainly be pleased that you want to establish that kind of closeness with her child....
My mom did that for me. Here's what she wanted: for me to love her. For me to want her around. For me to want her to be a regular part of my life. For me to care for her sometimes when she needs it. For me to be well, and happy, and off to a good start. For me to now and then let her know, in very convincing ways, that I know what a wonderful mom she is (I used to call her at random times when my friends were having a tough time w/ their parents and say, "thanks for being a mom like you, instead of a mom like hers")Other thank-yous just get in the way, in a situation like that. I hope to be your mom someday. And personally I would feel that a more conventional or formal "thank you" would actually CREATE distance.
I would first write her a heartfelt letter telling her how special she is to you, how much you value and appreciate her. And then in a few weeks or months, take her out for a pedicure and dinner, when you can leave baby for that long.

Here come the clowns
May 3, 2013
To the editor: Welcome to "Carrnie Town Cape Coral!" Yes, we have reached a level that we should start looking for the clowns in the little cars driving down Del Prado Boulevard....
With all of the issues facing this city this is what steams your corn? I for one am happy to see every one of those signs, because it means a business is operating in our city, paying taxes, and providing jobs.

Then let's change the signage ordinance to create what McGrail speaks about BLIGHT!
Lets SHUTTER the Code Enforcement Dept. Balancing the budget. (I am not for this>)
But I do see a lack of revenue. You know that elusive stream I keep hearing about.
We have ordinance against leaving trailers boat, construction, RV in the driveway or the front of the home. As it reads 1st a warning then daily fines. I have 2 homes that are now rentals one home has a boat in the drive way for at least 4 days. (lost revenue $100). I have another rental with 2 work trailers, one with billboard signage on it the other rail enclosed for debris. e vehicles with signage on the doors. This house has been occupied now over a month how much money could have been generated by code enforcement? The landlord should be responsible to instruct his renter about code. However who knows if he is renting or the place is homesteaded? Another possible revenue stream missed. Here is your blight Mr. McGrail.

You are so right at list about the number of issues facing the city of Cape Coral, Florida.
In this morning News-Press I see a law was passed in the state of Florida.
The state will not be responsible for pension shortfalls incurred by local government agencies.
I take that to mean county and city. So we have another issue more than just on the horizon.
It could be a blessing though and the end of guaranteed cost increases on a yearly basis no matter what inflation or the cost of living really is. There goes the 80% plus base pay retirement packages.
Seems like somebody shot themselves in the foot so to speak!

August 16, 2011 > Focus on forests
Do students know the water from their faucet might be naturally filtered by a forest instead of a water treatment plant? Do they know they can calculate the carbon sequestered by the trees in their own backyard? Do they know that one of the biggest threats to America's forests is the transfer of family property between generations?These big-picture and thought-provoking questions are examples of some of the topics explored in a new Project Learning Tree(r) (PLT) environmental education curriculum resource for high school teachers. Nine activities in the guide, "Exploring Environmental Issues: Focus on Forests," teach students about forest health, watersheds, climate change, who owns America's forests, and more.This resource helps teachers provide students with meaningful experiences related to classroom content. Lesson plans address a multitude of subject areas, including STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering, and math), civics, and social studies. A "knowledge primer," ready-to-use student worksheets, hands-on classroom lessons and field investigations help students develop an understanding and appreciation for stewardship and informed decision-making on issues that affect forests. The activities develop students' critical thinking skills, and students engage in debates about real-life forest management decisions.High school educators and junior college professors can obtain a copy of the guide by attending a PLT professional development workshop in their area. More than 30,000 PreK-12 educators are trained every year through 1,500 workshops held across the country.Developed in 1976, Project Learning Tree(r) (PLT), a program of the American Forest Foundation, uses forests as a window on the world and provides educators with environmental education curriculum resources that can be integrated into lesson plans for all grades and subject areas. For more information, visit www.plt.org.

The CARD Act of 2009, which takes effect on Monday, reins in some nasty practices, but leaves some loopholes you need to be aware of.
It's still up to you to know the terms of your cards, read the fine print and stay on top of any shenanigans that card companies may pull.
Three things to do now:
- Take stock. In advance of the new restrictions, some companies have hiked interest rates, altered due dates, imposed dormancy fees—trying to squeeze more money out of you. Read your recent statements, and call the card company to fix unwanted changes—or switch cards. This article on CardRatings.com offers suggestions.
- Know your rights. Because the CARD Act covers many issues, it helps to laser in on the provisions that pertain to your situation. We like this pick-and-choose guide on CreditCards.com.
- Be proactive. "Use credit responsibly" used to mean that you should pay bills on time and in full. These days, to be a model credit citizen it pays to stay informed about the evolving world of credit. Join DW contributor and credit expert Erica Sandberg and others in a live discussion with the White House about the new law on Monday, 2 PM Eastern.

The Life Pursuit
The Scottish group has always been known for their quirky pop sensibilities, and the new album is a fine example of their style. Belle & Sebastian's approach amounts to a compendium of pop-rock styles from the 1960s, merged in a manner that manages to sound fresh.
Formed is Glasgow in 1996, the band has released about six albums prior to The Life Pursuit. Their last album, 2003's Dear Catastrophe Waitress, was their first after losing some key band members, and just as the success of that release demonstrated that it could survive internal changes, The Life Pursuit demonstrates that Dear Catastrophe Waitress was no happenstance.
The group's music generally falls somewhere between the pop symphonies of Brian Wilson and the Beatley folk-rock of later-era XTC, although the new album sees them leaning occasionally into '70s R&B influences. For example, "Song for Sunshine" features keyboards straight out of a Stevie Wonder track, merged with a chorus leaning towards '60s pop group The Association.
Many of the lyrics are brief slices-of-life of people in turmoil. "Acts of the Apostle" shows a boarding school girl pondering life during morning prayers, while The Kinksesque tune "The White Collar Boy" features the lad of the title dragged into running from the law by a bewitching blue collar girl.
But it's the playful music that is Belle & Sebastian's ace in the hole. "For the Price of a Cup of Tea" is a rousing confection with delightful vocal harmonies and a brightly funky guitar rhythm. "Sukie in the Graveyard" is powered by a fast, swirling organ. And album closer "Mornington Crescent" verges on atmospheric country rock.
The Life Pursuit is clearly ideal for any fan of fun '60s pop. Belle & Sebastian keeps the tradition alive while adding several new buds of their own on its branches.

Freeman Williams (center) spent time with former teammates and friends on the Portland State campus at the screening of the movie "Inner City Champions".
A screening of "Inner City Champions" took place on the Portland State campus Tuesday night, and allowed Viking fans, boosters, teammates, athletes and staff express their affection for legendary basketball star Freeman Williams.
The movie tells the story of Manual Arts (CA) High School stars Williams and Dwayne Polee lives and their attempts to revive their alma mater's basketball program. Williams and movie creator and producer Frederick Hawthorne attended the screening that was viewed by some 200 people at Hoffmann Hall.
After many handshakes and photos, the film was screened, then Williams and Hawthorne took part in an question-and-answer session that remembered Freeman's 81-point game (official Howard Mayo who worked that game was also in attendance and spoke) among other career highlights at Portland State and throughout his career.
Freeman Williams played basketball at Portland State from 1974-78. He scored 3,249 points in his career - second only to Pete Maravich in NCAA history. Williams was a first team All-American in 1978. He want on to play six seasons in the NBA for the San Diego Clippers, Atlanta Hawks, Utah Jazz and Washington Bullets.
Inner City Champions won the Los Angeles Underground Film Festival Award last year.

As President Barack Obama gave the most important speech on immigration reform in years last Tuesday, it became clear that his greatest foe is not the Republican Party on this terribly divisive issue.
It's misinformation.
There is so much we think we know about immigration that is wrong. Some don't want to know the real truth or seem addicted to having little brown people to blame for all of America's woes.
What's more American than one group dumping on another?
For most of my 50 years, the punching bags of choice have been people with roots in Mexico.
Who could forget 1994, when Gov. Pete Wilson rode Mexican-bashing to a second term in the state Capitol after trailing big in the polls? Wilson can be such a nice guy, too. To him and his men, playing wedge politics by whipping up a frenzy over "illegal immigrants" was just good politics.
It worked for Wilson in the short term, but Republicans are irrelevant in California now – in part because the punching bags started punching back at the ballot box.
That counterpunch went national in November, with Obama netting 70 percent of votes from Latinos, who were turned off by the GOP's wedge politics.
Even now, some Republicans continue to play to a shrinking base by refusing to embrace immigration reform without enhancing enforcement on the border.
This is one of the great fallacies of the immigration debate.
According to the Migration Policy Institute, a nonpartisan research group in Washington, D.C., the Obama administration spent nearly $18 billion on immigration enforcement last year.
Obama has deported more undocumented immigrants than any U.S. president.
In a story about the Migration Policy Institute, the New York Times wrote: "The two main immigration enforcement agencies have referred more cases to the courts for prosecution than all of the Justice Department's law enforcement agencies combined."
Border Patrol agents have doubled since 2004. Budgets for Immigration and Customs Enforcement have swelled nearly 90 percent since 2005. Detentions of immigrants is at an all-time high, and immigration flows from Latin America have slowed to a trickle.
My fellow Americans – don't buy the GOP hype.
We have strengthened the borders. We are treating "illegals" harshly, especially the drug dealers and rapists.
It's impossible to predict whether Obama can overcome the misinformation to successfully align our immigration systems with our labor needs.
But if he doesn't do it now – if the GOP preserves a broken system that denigrates people – the punching bags will settle this issue in every election for the foreseeable future until the GOP is as irrelevant in America as it is in California.

The 2013 General Assembly concluded March 30, but last week Gov. Steve Beshear indicated he may call a special session to deal with redistricting.
"I hope to deal with redistricting sometime before the next regular session in January so that it will not be a distraction when we're preparing the budget for the commonwealth for the next two years," Beshear was quoted as saying in Lexington Herald-Leader's Bluegrass Politics Blog.

Staff Appreciation Week Closes with Day of Service
- 10-02-2013
- By Amanda Kenyon Waite
For UVM staffers Ashley Clark and Mandy Russin, last Friday's day of service was a chance to give back. Clark and Russin, who both work in the Faculty Senate office, spent the afternoon with eight other UVM staff members touching up paint jobs in guest rooms at Burlington's Ronald McDonald House.
It wasn't their first encounter with the organization, which provides a "home away from home" at little to no cost for families with hospitalized children. As a young child, Clark stayed at a Ronald McDonald House in Philadelphia when her infant brother was undergoing three heart surgeries. "Although I was a toddler," she says, "I can still remember the sense of relief that my parents had once we were settled with a home, a full refrigerator, and other parents to talk to who were going through some of the same issues as them."
Russin's niece and nephew, born prematurely four years ago and weighing less than a pound and a half each, spent more than four months in Fletcher Allen's neonatal intensive care unit. "During that time," she says, "our family made a close connection with the Ronald McDonald House and all of the supports that they offer."
So when UVM announced that its closing activity for Staff Appreciation Week, which this year ran from Sept. 30-Oct. 4, was a day of service at three local organizations, including Ronald McDonald House, Clark and Russin knew where they would volunteer. "I am delighted to be able to give back to the organization that helped to hold my family together," Clark says.
Coordinated through the United Way Volunteer Connection, the service event also provided help in the form of organizing, stocking, cleaning, and sorting, among other tasks, to the Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf and ReSource, which, through its Essential Goods Program, donates necessary items to families in need while offering refurbished items at an affordable price to the general public. Eighteen UVM staff in total participated.
"As we talked about a meaningful addition to our itinerary this year, we were drawn to the idea of highlighting the heart of staff for service, while making a difference in the community around us," says Rodman Cory, a Human Resource Services staff member who oversees the planning for Staff Appreciation Week. "We know that we're surrounded by UVM staff who go above and beyond the call of duty on a regular basis, and we wanted to showcase that kind of lifestyle."
Feedback, Cory says, has been positive, and signs point to this year's inaugural event becoming a tradition. "I enjoyed the experience immensely," Russin says, "and cannot wait to do it again next year." But she's also not waiting that long: "As a result of staff volunteer day, my colleague and I have decided to volunteer with the Ronald McDonald House on an ongoing basis."

This OrthodoxyToday series consists of two articles on suicide. The first is addressed to readers who are contemplating taking their own lives. This article contains no mention of Christian duty or Bible commandments because the last thing these desperate and agitated people need is for someone to preach religion at them. Instead, it hopes to gently inform them of factors they might not have considered and point out disincentives to suicide in their individual case.
The second article is directed to members of "right to death" groups or individual Christians who are planning to recommend or assist in the suicides of others. That article will demonstrate that—far from being a morally neutral act—it is clear that suicide and assisting in it were roundly condemned by Christian authorities prior to the decimating epidemic and mass apostasy of the middle of the third century AD, a period when the oral teachings and Bible interpretations of Christ and the apostles were still fresh in Christian memories and before there was little opportunity for widespread corruption of the gospel. If a person considering suicide believes that it does not contravene God's law or their Christian faith, or if they wish further information on whether it is morally permissible, they should by all means read the second article in addition to the first.
Are you thinking of committing suicide? The following will not lecture you on religious duties or responsibilities, for religion or a sincere but mistaken perception of it often prompts suicidal thoughts, usually because a person erroneously fears they somehow need to please God or society at large but is unable to do so. You have already put a lot of thought into your intended act and have already concluded the alternatives to death are unworkable, but just let me put forward a few suggestions so that you can be certain you are making a fully-informed decision.
First, consider what will happen to you if you fail. A great percentage of suicide attempts are unsuccessful. You may survive, only to be a paraplegic or in a permanent coma, straining your family's finances, emotions and labor for decades to come. You may live for decades blind or in constant pain. The attempt may inflict deformities of face or body so hideous that people will avoid you. A failed suicide attempt may well restrict what little enjoyment you now find in life. Of course, you can try again if the result has been lesser injuries, but you will exist in a more miserable state than now and be unable to try again if your first attempt cripples or blinds you.
Get a second opinion. Nobody should rely on their own unaided perceptions or logic when making an important decision in life, and without doing thorough research. It is only prudent to consult with knowledgeable people that can spot advantages, disadvantages, impossibilities or illegalities you overlook in any endeavor, or can put forward a simpler, faster, cheaper or more feasible means to the same goal. If people seek advice and second opinions for important decisions in life, so much more should you seek them for what is the most important act of your life, and will curtail decades of it.
As for sources of information and a venue for discussing and weighing up your alternatives, there are many telephone hotlines that do nothing but counsel intended suicides. If there are none in your community, telephone a pastor. Clergy are usually trained for such situations. If you are afraid that the counselor will physically restrain you and have you forcibly institutionalized if you still want to kill yourself, do not give your name or location on the telephone. Now that long-distance tolls are dirt-cheap, telephone a hotline or pastor in a different part of United States and do so anonymously. If you consider the small price of a direct distance call more valuable than your own life, you should consult a psychiatrist for a neurosis or personality disorder because such false economy casts doubt on your thinking capacity in any field, including your mental competence to decide about suicide.
Third, forget unrealistic or grandiose hopes. This is particularly addressed to young people. Far too often educators tell a student that s/he possesses a first-class brain, unusual ability to work hard, and other outstanding personal qualities. Because of these, assures the teacher or professor, the young student can succeed at any endeavor they attempt and will rapidly rise to the top of their field, with steps up the ladder of success being mere formalities. But experience turns out otherwise. Try as they might, the young person fails to fulfill their grand plans, as must be the case when educators say the same to all students even though the path of success is highly competitive, and some people must necessarily occupy lower positions in any organization or society. Frustration, even suicidal thoughts, creep in due to the teacher's or professor's careless and exaggerated praise.
Contrary to what one might expect, suicide rates are lowest in poor countries where brains and hard work avail no more than keeping body and soul together. These people can aspire to nothing more than staying alive until tomorrow and harbor no expectations of spectacularly succeeding in business, trade, profession or lottery. The higher the hope, the greater the perception of failure, and thus the greater the attractiveness of suicide.
Therefore, spurn flattery about how bright and destined to success you are. Concentrate on working toward realistic and achievable goals. Look for opportunities to advance at every stage or sub-goal on your way to achieving your final (realistic) goal, and celebrate these little successes.
Fourth, study Irish Gaelic. When you think your lot in life could not possibly be worse and that you exist in the worst of all possible worlds, obtain an introductory text for the study of the Irish Gaelic language. Keep reminding yourself that you can stop at any time. The Irish language is more different from English than German or French and far harder for an English-speaker to learn. You know how in Latin and German the ends of words change to indicate meaning? In Irish the beginnings also change, and sometimes the middles as well. This necessitates looking in many places in the dictionary to find one word. The first consonant of nouns changes to indicate grammatical case. Often the sound and spelling of the middle of a noun change with case. There are four cases, with the nominative and accusative forming only one. There are five declensions of nouns, with the declension of one such case being subdivided as to the formation of the plural – and irregular nouns, of course. There are four declensions for adjectives, with irregular adjectives, of course. Even prepositions are declined, with irregular prepositions. Gender is vital, and affects both meaning and nearby words, but brute memorization is the only way to know the gender. It is common for the same word to have two or more plurals.
You will probably contract a headache or nausea in the first few chapters of the textbook, which are usually on pronunciation and its tenuous relation to spelling. The Irish language is less phonetic than French or even English. This is because English spelling reflects the language spoken in the fifteenth century while Irish is locked into the ninth. In Irish Gaelic sounds in speech are far different from what one would expect from the written form. Written vowels are often pronounced as consonants and vice versa. There are many silent vowels and silent consonants, sometimes two or three in a row, and even entire syllables.
As with German "ö" and "ü" and their French equivalents, Irish contains many sounds not found in English. While similar or indistinguishable to Anglophones, the difference is vital for distinguishing one Irish Gaelic word from another. There are two different pronunciations each for "d" and "t". There are four different pronunciations for "l", which alter the meaning of a word; English has two (as in "light" and "full") but, unlike Irish, using the wrong pronunciation does not affect meaning. The quality and pronunciation of consonants also alter according to the vowel(s) before and/or after them. Again, the sound and spelling of an Irish word can change at the end (as in German and Latin), beginning, or middle.
When your headache or nausea become full-blown from these complex intricacies, put the study book aside and be thankful that you live and are educated where you now are. In United States, you can stop the study any time you want. This option would not be open to you if you lived in the Republic of Ireland. Years of studying the Irish language is compulsory in schools and the police academy. Without proficiency in Irish, you cannot graduate from secondary school, let alone enter a profession or even become a librarian or schoolteacher. Professorships in some universities will be denied to you. Until recently, knowledge of Irish Gaelic was necessary for any employment as a civil servant, even as a postal worker.
Studying Irish with the knowledge that you do not have to and can stop whenever you want should lighten your pessimistic outlook on life and lead to lifting your suicidal malaise. Your present situation could well be worse but will not become worse when compared to that of your peers in the Republic of Ireland.
Fifth and last, consider the effect your act may have on onlookers. The sight of a death in progress will be disturbing—even traumatic—to witnesses, perhaps including children, if you throw yourself under a bus or off a high building. There will be less trauma if you hang or shoot or poison or drown yourself in private, but finding your body will nevertheless be emotionally overwhelming to whoever finds your corpse. Perhaps the first persons to find you will be children at play. Their shock will be worse if your body is not found for some time and becomes bloated or infested with maggots.
If you believe that people who have committed suicide will go to heaven and that death will take you to a better place, read the other article in this series.

Global Journalist was joined by four mid-career journalists from four vastly different countries: Kenya, Pakistan, Malaysia and South Africa.
What they have in common is this: the desire to learn new professional skills and knowledge and to gain a broader view of the world.
They visited the Missouri School of Journalism as part of a cultural and professional exchange program for journalists: the Alfred Friendly Press Fellowships. The organization's goal is to strengthen journalism in changing societies, and these four fellows have already worked at host newspapers for five months.
Since 2002, the Alfred Friendly organization has worked with the Daniel Pearl Foundation to provide special fellowships to honor the life and work of journalist Daniel Pearl – The Wall Street Journal South Asia bureau chief who was kidnapped and murdered in Pakistan. The fellowship was created to encourage dialog among people of different cultures and reduce tensions.

POPLARVILLE --- Seven Pearl River Community College baseball standouts are headed to senior college programs, including pitchers Ryan Deemes, Brandon Fry, and Christian Talley; outfielders Darius Knight and Braxton Lee, infielder Paul Pickerrell, and catcher-slugger Krisjon Wilkerson.
Deemes, who prepped at Holy Cross High in Chalmette, La., signed with Nicholls State (La.), a Division I university in Thidodeaux, La. He sported an impressive 9-3 record in 68.1 innings on the mound in 2013. Deemes, a 6-foot-2, 205-pound right hander, was a second-team All-MACJC selection.
Fry, a 6-foot-2, 185-pound left hander out of Nease High in Jacksonville, Fla., has signed with the University of Southern Mississippi. He wrapped 2013 with a perfect 5-0 mound record and boasted a team-best 2.40 earned-run average, striking out 51 batters in 48.2 innings of mound work. In addition, he also lead the squad with six saves. Fry, who transferred to The River from Northwest Florida State, a community college in Okaloosa, Fla., was a second-team All-MACJC selection, as well as an 18th-round selection by the San Diego Padres in the Major League Baseball Draft.
Talley, a 6-foot-four, 190-pound right hander out of Hancock County High, also signed with USM and led the Wildcat squad with 92.2 innings of mound action and recorded 92 strikeouts over that stretch. He finished the season with a 9-5 record and second-best 2.62 earned-run average. Talley was a first-team All-MACJC selection, as well as a 26th-round selection by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in the MLB Draft.
Knight, who transferred to PRCC from Holmes CC in Goodman, also signed with Nicholls State. The 5-foot-11, 180-pound Pearl High recruit batted .311 this past spring with a .408 on-base percentage, scored a team-high 55 runs, and was third on the squad with 37 runs batted in. His .981 fielding percentage in right field --- second-best on the team --- earned him the Region XXIII Gold Glove Award. Knight was a second-team All-MACJC selection.
Lee, who is headed Ole Miss, was a two-year starter in center for head coach Josh Hoffpauir and led the team in batting average and on-base percentage with .406 and .502 marks, respectively. His 37 stolen bases was also a team high, while his 11 doubles were third-best on the squad. Lee, a 5-foot-11, 180-pound recruit out of Picayune High, also boasted a third-best .970 fielding percentage and was named to the All-Region XXIII and first-team All-MACJC selection.
Pickerrell, who transferred to The River from Volunteer State CC (Tenn.), signed with head coach Hill Denson's Belhaven Blazers in Jackson. The 5-foot-10, 175-pound switch hitter batted .371 and sported a .478 on-base percentage --- both second-best marks on the squad --- in 2013. Pickerrell, who prepped at John Hardin High in Elizabethtown, Ky., had a .920 fielding percentage at his second base position and was a first-team All-MACJC selection.
Wilkerson will suit up for the Arkansas Razorbacks in 2014 after being named an NJCAA All-American (second team) and copping All-Region XXIII and first-team All-MACJC honors in 2013. The 6-foot-2, 220-pound St. Stanislaus recruit led with Wildcats with 11 home runs this past spring, while batting .341 and sporting a third-best .477 on-base percentage. In addition, he also led the team with 14 doubles and boasted a .972 fielding percentage at this catcher's position.

Not yet. Where do I go? Who should I vote for? What time do the polls close? How long does it take? Do I have to show a photo ID? Or can I just show them my birth certificate? Do they take credit cards? Thanks in advance.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. - The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins lost a one-goal game to the highest-scoring team in the AHL on Sunday night.
They head home for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference final with the series tied at 1, having earned a split of the first two games on the road.
That might sound like a moral victory to some. It doesn't to Penguins captain Joey Mormina.
"We played well the first night," he said. "Tonight, just an absolute no-show by too many guys on our team."
Dan Sexton scored a power-play goal late in the first period to give the Syracuse Crunch a lead it never relinquished in a 3-2 Game 2 victory.
The Penguins twice cut the Syracuse lead to one goal but never tied the score. They were outshot, 37-18, in the game and, 15-1, in the first period.
"We just weren't really good enough, top to bottom, in any phase," coach John Hynes said. "We were average enough to keep it close and keep us around but we weren't good enough to win the game."
Sexton's goal came on the rebound of a Brett Connolly shot from the left faceoff circle with 1:04 left in the first period.
"Our first period was discouraging not because of the shots against but because of the way we played," Mormina said. "For whatever reason, we had too many guys that didn't come ready to play tonight. When you're chasing a team like Syracuse for the whole game, you put yourself in a bad position."
Syracuse scored twice in the second by getting the Penguins out of their defensive structure.
First, Matt Taormina scored on a three-on-two rush to make it 2-0 Syracuse 7:07 into the second period.
Syracuse's Tyler Johnson took a stick to the face on a neutral-zone faceoff with Brian Gibbons and went to the bench. Richard Panik confronted Gibbons. Reid McNeill confronted Panik. All the while, play continued. Thiessen made the first save on the Syracuse rush, but Taormina shoveled a loose puck over him.
The Penguins, despite being outshot, 23-1, at the time, got back into the game when Mormina scored on a power-play one-timer about a minute later.
The Penguins went on another power play about two minutes after that with a chance to tie the score but gave up a shorthanded goal instead.
Dmitry Korobov picked a corner from the top of the left faceoff circle with 9:20 left in the second to give the Crunch a 3-1 lead.
"Might have been a bad change on my part," winger Chad Kolarik said. "They kept it in down low and Korobov had a great shot. Water bottle. That's a great shot. We talked about it. We can't give up shorthanded goals against them. They're a powerful team and they like to score shorthanded."
The Penguins tried to rally in the third period and they closed to within 3-2 when Riley Holzapfel found a loose puck on a rebound of his own shot and scored with 5:58 to play.
"We had a good push in the third period," Holzapfel said. "It was 3-2 with a couple minutes left to tie up but we couldn't get it done."
A potentially series-changing moment occurred in the third period when Kolarik and Johnson, the league MVP, collided with each other in open ice. Both had to be helped to the locker room.
"It looked almost like a scene from 'Rocky'," Sexton said. "They were both crawling off the ice at the same time."
Kolarik returned to the game. Johnson did not, but Syracuse coach Rob Zettler said he thinks it's a charley horse.
"I don't know what happened to him. I'm not going to talk about what happened to me. I just hope he's all right," Kolarik said. "I didn't mean anything by it. I'm sure he didn't mean anything by it. We just kind of collided there."

Sheep to the Constitutional Slaughter
An ardent defender of a strictly limited government under the reigns of the 10th Amendment – Judge Andrew Napolitano has nearly outdone himself with his new book, "A Nation of Sheep"
Napolitano frankly discusses how the federal government has circumvented the Constitution and is systematically dismantling the rights and freedoms that are the foundation of American democracy. He challenges Americans to recognize that they are being led down a very dangerous path and that the cost of following without challenge is the loss of the basic freedoms that facilitate our pursuit of happiness and that define us as a nation.
Judge Napolitano reminds readers what America is all about, that the purpose of government is to protect freedom, and freedom is the ability to follow your own free will and not the will of government bureaucrats.Details

Keith Andrews says Bolton team-mates are OK with Dougie Freedman to rotate squad
Bolton midfielder Keith Andrews says his team-mates are happy for boss Dougie Freedman to continue rotating his squad.
Last Updated: 05/12/12 12:22pm
Freedman made three changes for last weekend's defeat to Ipswich, taking his tally to 13 alterations in their last three league matches.
The loss ended the Scot's impressive unbeaten run since leaving Crystal Palace to take charge back in October.
"You can look at possible reasons for it [the defeat] but it certainly wasn't anything to do with that," Andrews told BBC Radio Manchester. "We have to hold our hands up. We didn't hit the heights we should have.
"As a player you want to play every game, but with the intensity and the regularity of the games in this league.
"But from a sports science point of view and a sharpness point of view, and added to that the quality we have within the squad - the manager obviously feels he can chop and change.
"Up until Saturday, it's been successful. But the manager has worked very hard on the system and the style he wants to play."

Late Again for the final time
February 08, 2013, 04:45:26 PM »
The situation is resolved by basically me resolving it but I've been told that my reaction is too harsh and that I was rude so I wanted some opinions.
I had a friend. She was nice but a little needy and I ended up putting a lot of effort into our friendship that looking back now, I never got anything in return. She was also a friend who was late for EVERYTHING. Every time we met up she was late. And not just a few minutes late but she would be 30-45 min late generally. I had expressed to her how upsetting it was to sit and wait for her all the time. That it was disrespectful to me and others who were waiting on her. She just laughed it off every time and said "that's how I am".
Now I had cut back on seeing her because of this but last year at Halloween I wanted to go to a haunted house and she wanted to so we made plans to meet. I wanted to meet at 7pm so there wouldn't be a long line and before it started to rain. Plans were made. I wasn't sure how long it would take me to get there and I was not sure where it was so I left early as usual. I ended up getting there faster than I thought so I was there by 6:30. No worries. I brought a book. So 7pm comes along and she's still not there. I text her that I have arrived and she responds "you are always early!"
I responded back that yes I was early but she was supposed to be here by 7pm. And she then says she's stuck in traffic at the moment. So I wait. And wait. And wait. I get a text at 8pm that she's apparently hit more traffic. Now the Haunted House line has been growing significantly and it's now starting to rain. The line is now outside the covered portion and at least an hour wait. I tell her this and ask her if she wants me to get the tickets and get in line and she says no I will be there soon.
So I continue to wait. She doesn't show up until 9:25! Now the line is really long. I bought my ticket but she has to get in line to get hers and then we have to wait in the line to get into the haunted house. I was furious. And I said that I didn't appreciate having to wait over 2 hours for her to show up. She laughs and says "I'm always late you know that!" I was still furious but felt like it would be fruitless to get into an argument so we get in line in the rain and we wait 45 min to get into the haunted house. It takes 10 min to get through and then she says "well I have to go I'm going out for coffee" and leaves.
Whatever. I needed to get home anyway as I had to pick up my dog from the dog sitter's house. My dog sitter wanted to know why I was so late and she agreed with me that being over 2 hours late was really inexcusable.
So fast forward. I haven't seen her since then and I didn't meet up with her for my birthday because I didn't want to wait around 2 hours for her to show. But then I mentioned on facebook I was going to go to see the King Tut exhibit while it was here. She wants to go too. Now this is a timed exhibit. You HAVE to be there at a specific time and if you miss the slot you bought your ticket for you miss out and don't get a refund. I specifically told her this and said if she can't make it that I don't want to miss out. So I bought the tickets for both of us because you had to buy them in advance for the same time slot and we kept having problems with available spaces when we tried to pay for our own. I ordered the ticket package that had the Mummy Movie, Exhibit tour, and Audio guide. $50 each. She said she will pay me back. She was also to bring some stuff I had ordered from her and paid for in advance and saved her time by saying just bring it with you. I also stressed that she could not be late. She swore she wouldn't be late.
So day of I get there early to get parking because it's downtown, there's rain, there's ALWAYS traffic, and there are a few events going on downtown. Which btw I told her about the day before. As usual she's late. I go into the movie without her and she tells me she's there and walking over to the ticket gate. The guy said ok I can go out and give her the ticket to get in. So I go out. I'm standing in the rain waiting for her. WAITING FOR AN HOUR! Apparently she wasn't really there! She had to actually find parking and then walk over from where she was able to get parking. And I even chose our meeting time 30min earlier than the movie started so this wouldn't happen. So by the time she shows up I was beyond furious. BEYOND! I was so angry and really yes I was rude in that I chastised her in front of the ticket lady. But after we went through I turned and told her that this was the last time I was doing anything with her. That I was tired of being disrespected and cast off because she didn't feel I was important enough to get anywhere on time. She tried to counter with "this is how I am" and I countered with "that doesn't make it right!" I had missed the movie part of the tour and now was soaking wet and the only place to wait for the movie to end and the next part to start was a cafe crowded with people so I was very unhappy.
She says to me "I'm not going to take this" and walks off into the crowd. I tried to follow her so I could at least get my stuff from her but she's gone. So I call her and she doesn't answer. I text her and she doesn't answer. I needed the stuff from her for this for the next day and now she's gone. (And frankly I wouldn't have bought it from her but I was trying to help her out because she needed the money)
She then texts me and tells me she's left my stuff with a parking garage attendant on some street that I have no idea where it is. I text her back and tell her to get it and mail it and she can pay for the postage or refund my money I don't care which.
But at this point the friendship is over. I did not call her, removed her from my facebook, and haven't heard from her since. Which as far as I am concerned has saved me a great deal of money and grief. But a few of my other friends have said I was too harsh on her and I shouldn't hold it against her just because she was late. I'm of the opinion if you don't respect me and my time you don't get to be my friend. So say you ehellions, is it rude to refuse to have anything to do with someone when they have continuously spit in your face?
Side note since I paid for her ticket I kept it and called another friend who managed on short notice to get her poopadities together and arrive just in time to enter the King Tut exhibit with me so we both got to enjoy the display even if I had missed the movie portion.

I don't blame you at all for dumping this woman. Your friends are wrong. The Hallowe'en incident was bad enough but the King Tut exhibit would have been the final nail in the coffin for me, too, were she my friend.
After cleaning out my Dad's house, I have this advice: If you haven't used it in a year,
throw it out!!!!

You were not too harsh and lasted longer in this "friendship" than I would have.
How come these people who expect to be catered because "that's how they are" never respect others for being who
are too?

Your friends are wrong and she is wrong. You are absolutely right that she's been extremely disrespectful of you. You gave her plenty of opportunity to apologize (she didn't) and to correct her behavior (she didn't.) You weren't harsh at all. In my opinion, you were very forgiving after the Hallowe'en incident.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bow lines.

I don't think you were harsh or rude. You gave the friend more chances than I would have!
I wonder if by "harsh" and "rude," your friends are referring to the frankness of what you said to the late friend. You told her what the problem was, that it upset you, and that you weren't going to take it anymore. That is not at all rude, IMO. But perhaps your other friends would simply have let the friendship die without saying why, which would be face-saving. That method would just be never to make plans with her again, always be busy when she calls, and refuse her when she says she wants to do something with you.
Again, I think you did the right thing by telling her exactly what the problem was, and making it clear that her "just the way I am" excuse was not OK. But maybe your friends would have done it the other way.

Your reaction would be harsh if she was chronically 5 minutes late. It would be harsh if she was occasionally 30 minutes late. Chronically 90 minutes late, even for timed events? Nope, she needs someone to be harsh.

I will say that she did say "I'm sorry a few times but it was always pre-phrased with "it's just how I am" or "I can't fix traffic".
But the thing is that if she had left withing a reasonable amount of time she would have been on time. I gave her a 30 minute free pass basically by telling her a time 30 min before we had to actually be there.
Thanks though. I never did feel like I was rude except maybe in front of the ticket lady when I commented that I was really upset that she was late yet again. I'm not PA enough to just ignore people. I generally tell them like it is because I feel that being wishy washy serves no good purpose. And this way people know exactly why I'm angry with them and there are no misunderstandings.

It's really easy for someone who is not suffering the consequences of someone else's bad behavior to judge your reaction as harsh. Your friends weren't waiting for her out in the rain. Your friends weren't cheated out of money and birthday plans. You were. You're the only one allowed to make the judgement as to whether you associate with someone who can't be bothered to treat you with courtesy. If THEY want to sign on for disrespect and discourtesy, they're welcome to it.

OP, you should have DUMPED her waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay before you did.
Your mistake was ALLOWING her to keep you waiting 30, 45, minutes an hour, an hour and a half!!!!!!!!!! WHAT??!
In each of those scenarios you should have left after 30 minutes MAXIMUM.
She disrespected you so many times, in so many ways (such as her flippant remarks). There is a saying We teach people how to treat us. Think about it.
Put a fork in this friendship. Its done. Forget her. Move on. I also would refuse to discuss her with anyone.

I agree with the others. Perhaps you were a bit rude having the conversation in public but you gave her way too many chances. IMO she was extremely rude and disrespectful of you by keeping you waiting so many times.

She is a user and a whiner, and your other friends are no friends either if they think you were rude and should accept her because "it's the way she is." No. Just no. I had a friend like that once who thought she was "cute" when she did that. (She was in her late 70s.) I've told the story on here, I think, that I had warned her more than once that her lateness was disrespectful. Then one year I was scheduled to pick her up at 1:00 pm so we could head down to the hotel we were staying at for the LA Times Festival of Books. I let her know I would be leaving her place at precisely that time. She dithered around--again. And I left on time without her. Boy, was she angry. It wasn't the straw that broke the camel's back, though it should have been. That came a year later with two more incidents. I haven't seen or talked to her since. Others can deal with that rot.

I would have dumped her after the haunted house incident. At the very least, when she asked about the King Tut exhibit, I would have told her then that I wasn't willing to make plans with her because of her chronic lateness and that you simply couldn't trust her. You were much nicer than I would have been.

This comes from one of the Anglican Blogs I frequent. I've include the all the text but I add a link at the bottom in cause any one wants to visit Stand Firm. Makes some excellent points on how Muslims respond to perceived insults compared to other faiths and how Islamic anger is handled verses other the anger Christians have when our beliefs are mocked.
Condemn the movie!
Seriously, those of you who are excusing acts of war, atrocities against non-combatants and other Muslim expressions of "hurt feelings over an anti-Muslim YouTube movie," what is your policy response to this bit, which has been viewed by far more people, and is just a subatomic bit in a galaxy of media mockery of Christ and Christianity? (Warning: blasphemous & raunchy content)
As Sarah pointed out yesterday, the first Amendment, the American expression of Western free speech, allows for offensive stuff like this. We allow it, argue about it, use it as fodder for Stand Firm, whatever. Killing one another over it, or imposing laws to prevent it, or having the government call the folks who produced it are all out of bounds, no matter how much it denigrates the beliefs of others or "hurts feelings."
If Christians suddenly burned down a TV station that carries Family Guy, killed some of the people working there and dragged their bodies through the streets for a photo op, should Family Guy be the target of government censure and public blame?
And if you disagree with my argument in the post, realize that it will hurt the feelings of the Stand Firm contributors. We will find you. And whatever we do to you and your loved ones will be your fault.

Discussion in 'The Howard Stern Show' started by GaryPuppet, Feb 5, 2013.
have there been any new ones of her dark haired friend with the glasses??
Oh you mean the hottie who she shared the lesbian kiss with? No, nothing of her.
I post every new pic of her that I see as they become available.
ok thanks for the service you are providing
Mmmmmm...love me some Ashley Jade. Thanks Gary, does she ever say anything worth wild on face book?
There is a sexiness there, and Daddy's bank account only adds to it
They sure do look like they like to have fun
wow creepy motherfuckers
Has anyone wished cancer on her yet?
She hangs out with ugly chicks for a reason.
Jeebuschrist....she looks trannyish in some of these pictures....especially this one....
How old is this girl? I'm no expert at this (i.e. gay-they're the experts) but maybe she needs to lay off of the makeup, tanning, hair dying, ect. a bit.
It might be making her look harsh.
nah just fellow members of the tribe
gp why are you screen shoting the photos instead of saving them. The later would result in better quality. TIA for your efforts to improve this service

The Browns have signed rookie linebacker Barkevious Mingo, the No. 6 overall pick in this year's draft, to a four-year contract.
The deal also contains a fifth-year club option.
Mingo's agent, Jeff Guerriero, finalized the $16 million package with the Browns early Sunday. Mingo had been the team's only unsigned rookie as the sides battled over "offset" language. The Browns were able to keep the language in the contract, which means they will not have to pay him the remainder of his deal if he is cut before it expires and signs with another team.
Mingo will receive his entire signing bonus by December.
The 6-foot-4, 240-pound Mingo played in 40 games at LSU. He made 15 starts and recorded 119 tackles and 15 sacks.
The Browns plan to play him at outside linebacker to best use his speed.

25. Billy Hamilton, SS, Cincinnati Reds (age 21)
Current level: High Class A (Bakersfield)
Preseason ranking: 64
There's a lot of skepticism out there about where Hamilton's ultimate ceiling lies; he's an 80 runner on the 20-80 scale with 42 steals already this season, and can use his speed to create extra opportunities to reach base, but he lacks power and there's a fair chance he moves either to second or center field. He's an absurd prospect for fantasy players but doesn't look like the kind of player who'll generate four or five wins a year at his peak unless he becomes a plus defender (perhaps in center) and shows he can get strong enough to consistently drive major league pitching.
The rest of the article is ESPN Insider.

Henry Clinton letter on Penobscot River fort, 1779Item 7475 info
Maine Historical Society
In 1779, much of the action of the American Revolution had moved south.
But, the British saw an opportunity on the Downeast coast of Maine to establish a strategic naval position to challenge American privateers, set up a loyalist community, access needed timber resources, and establish a coastal trading post.
British General Henry Clinton wrote a letter concerning construction of a fort on the Penobscot River and activities of troops there "to defend themselves against any Attempt the Rebels in those parts may be able to make ..."

RETURNING home for Relay For Life brings mixed emotions for Mark Lee.
In 2007, when he was 22, he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
He went through two rounds of chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant in Geelong.
"Mid-way through 2008 the treatment finished," he said.
"It was between the two rounds of chemotherapy though that I was cleared."
The former Emmanuel College pupil, who now works for South West Coast MP Denis Napthine in Melbourne, said Relay For Life was an annual event important to him and his family.
"Like so many people, it reminds me of times that were difficult," he said.
"There are so many mixed emotions. At the same time I was diagnosed, my dad's sister, my aunty, was diagnosed with cancer.
"She passed away in 2007. Ever since then the whole family has done Relay For Life," he said.
"I know it means a lot to my family, particularly my dad and his siblings who lost a sister."
For Warrnambool's Ian McConnell, being impeded by crutches wasn't enough to stop him walking for loved ones lost.
Mr McConnell said he lost his father and sister to cancer. His son also had cancer but recovered.
"I'll do six or eight laps and then I'll go home," he said. "It's nice to be among people who have gone through it."
Magical Memories was among the 47 teams which took to the oval on Friday night.
Group member Michelle Greaves said that after years of attending the group of family, friends and workmates decided to enter their own team.
"We're here for the ones we've lost but have left magical memories and the ones who have kicked its arse," she said.
The group raised more than $3000 for the Cancer Council.
Group captain Daphne Smith and her 10-year-old daughter Brianna cut their locks and donated their hair to the Alopecia Foundation Wigs For Kids program.
"I decided I would do it and then Brianna said she would too," Ms Smith said.
"Any money raised from the hair cut was donated to the Cancer Council.
"It will grow back, whereas these children might never have hair."
Warrnambool Relay For Life chairwoman Fran Hynes said about 1200 people took part and $113,500 was raised.
She said the number of participants was similar to previous years.
"We're very, very happy," she said. "The weather was fantastic. It was a really lovely event. It had a very lovely feel.
"Now we start planning next year's."

(Props: UGO.com's movie blog)
Behold, a first look at Rich Franklin in the much-anticipated action film Cyborg Soldier. As near as I can figure, the film is about a cyborg soldier who has to help Kelly Kapowski save Zach Morris from the evil Mr. Belding, who is also a cyborg.
Unfortunately, the trailer only shows us brief glimpses of Ace's acting skillz, but based on those glimpses I think it's fair to say that he won't be abandoning the fight game to do Henry V any time soon. It doesn't help to play opposite Kelly Kapowski, who as we all know is one of the great talents of our time, nor does it help to play a cyborg, which is a tough, tough role. And how does Rich communicate his cyborgness in this film? By keeping his movements stilted and his face expressionless. Acting!
The DVD drops on October 7, and we'll be the ones sleeping on the loading dock at Wal-Mart so we can be the first to get a copy. Rumor has it that the sequel, coming out in the spring, co-stars Anderson Silva and is entitled "Death of Cyborg Soldier."

air date: 8/29/13 4:00 AM
DRIVE-IN MOVIE MEMORIES is a film celebration of drive in movie theaters, one of America's greatest symbols of youth, freedom and the automobile. What started as the business venture an auto parts dealer to make some easy money accidentally became a magical place where romance, fun and a sense of community flourished. The centerpiece of DRIVE-IN MOVIE MEMORIES is a vast collection of historical photos and footage from the mid '30s until today, including clips from classic drive-in movies of all genres: westerns, romance, horror, and the teenage beach party movies of the '60s. Interviews with film critic Leonard Maltin and other film historians add context while stories from B-movie actors, including Beverly Garland, the "queen" of B-movies, provide entertaining "insider" views of the era in its heyday.

Gardeners are reaping the benefits of their labor by the bushelful about now. And, if you don't have a garden yourself, the farmers and vendors at local farmers markets and produce stands are happy to share the fruits of their labor with you. A visit to the farmers market in my area yielded perfect zucchini — smallish and dark, with no unbroken skin, and gorgeous pole beans that were firm (making them really good for "snapping" later) and blemish free. This is the time of the year to brush up on your canning skills (or acquire them) and be reminded about the proper way to prepare vegetables for freezing. In my home state of South Carolina, excellent information on both safe canning and freezing comes via the Home and Garden Information Center, Clemson Cooperative Extension, at http://www.clemson.edu/extension/hgic/food/food_safety/preservation. The National Center of Preservation maintains an outstanding one, too, at http://nchfp.uga.edu. If you've got a surplus of garden-fresh summer vegetables, preserve them now for a time when just-picked veges are no longer easy to unearth — come November, trust me, you'll be thankful you did.

text: I couldn't resist and picked up a pair of the Cabela's Alpha Extreme 10x42 binoculars. They were $100 off with a coupon so they ended up being just shy of $120. I thought I had my mind made up to get a pair of Nikon Trailblazer 10x50 but when I saw the $100 off deal I figured why not? I looked through and liked the Nikon's but I haven't looked through the Cabela's so I hope I'm not disappointed. Anyone have a pair? what do you think of them? I know they won't stack up to the 4 figure glass but I've been putting up with cheap bino's long enough that anything should be an improvement.
