Chromemate has produced a significant reduction in my blood sugar numbers. Will continue to monitor over time. Still requires good diet and exercise. Will reorder this product.
Proved to be awesome with 2 members of my family so far

My mother and my sister both have diabetes, high Cholesterol and Triglycerides. Taking 2 caps of this great product for few months, brought down their Cholesterol and Triglycerides to normal ranges. It has somewhat good effect on blood sugar levels too. It's great, safe and without no side effects at all (given that you are not over-dosing). Give it a try, and good luck everyone.
This product looks great on me! :)
Posted by WildSweetVermont on Aug 15, 2012
Very helpful for blood sugar issues, cravings and hunger pangs. I learned that chromium polynicotinate works much better for me than the chromium picolinate that I started taking years ago.

It's amazing how a single pill can help curve your cravings. I'm a huge chocolate addict and since I've been using chromemate, it's easy for me to say no to any fattening foods. It's almost unbelievable!

11 cats hollering back:
- Renee said...
Darly & I are cracking up over your list...we especially liked your rules...you can be pretty DETERMINED about those, huh?
So #7 explains why I haven't been able to see a good picture of you. It's so hard to tell how handsome you are when your head is all blurry.
For #8 they make this powder stuff that your mommy can sprinkle on the back patio that will make the ginger kitties stay away. We use it in the front gardens to keep the bad neighbor kitties from using our gardens as a litter box.
"a needle and fread, or a cork..." OH MY! Is he really that bad? Sometimes we threaten DH with those too but he usually clears up quickly.
Happy Mew Years to you Meezers!
- Karen Jo said...
I love your resolutions, Sammy. Oh, and I liked yours, too, Miles. I have been away for Christmas and I'm just catching up again. I like your new look on your blog.
- Daisy said...
Those are some very smart resolutions! I think #3 is a very important one. I am workin' on some resolutions to be a nicer cat, but they are very hard to keep.
- Patches & Mittens said...
Seeing as how I am purrfect, I didn't make a list. However, Precious really needs help in that area. Mittens says hi to her bestest furriends. (She sleeps most of the time, so says she doesn't need a list.)

Woo Woo! Sammys I really liked yur new resolutions. TiVo? You's gonna learns TiVo? I is EM-pressed.
Yu is juss a lil shy, dat's all Sammys. But, I am sur yu will not be a scairty when new beans come around to bisit.
I is nearly all better. I diddn't like not bein able to jump up on stuff. Momma has been hoverin ofur me. She has picka me up almost efurry time I wanted to jump. I hadda to show her I could do it all by myselfs. So, I jumped up on the big machine that wets the stuffs they wear.
Momma is takin me on field trip too-mar-row to see a friend who had an op-purr-ra-shun. I dunno if I likes getting into dat big monster machine on wheels.
I loves yur new bloggie. It am furry purrty. 7 hours is a lot of naps...

- Grr, Midnight & Cocoa said...
Cocoa's been working on #4. He goes to different people in the house and whines till they follow him to the Temptations and give him some. He does this at least 7 times a day. Grr and I let him do all the work, then we come running for the treats.
- DaisyMae Maus said...
I agree with your mom ... No to the cork. It sounds too painful. Do eat as many Temptations as you can ... they're delicious!
DaisyMae Maus
- Renee said...
I don't know why this didn't come to me earlier! I figured out your solution to #11!
Silly me. Duct tape is the cure for everything! Every camping checklist says to bring duct tape to fix everything. We used it to fix a leaky tent, to fix broken tent poles, to hold together stuff to hold apart stuff... And I just know it would be perfect er... I mean purrrrfect for holding in stuff, especially #11.
Give it a try Sammy. I'm sure your mommy won't mind one bit.
- Dragonheart said...
Great resolutions Sammy! Good luck with them. But I want to see more photos of you, so I'm not fond of #7 on your list.
Have a great 2007 and happy new year!

Maple Leafs' Schedule: November Rain
Pension Plan Puppets
August 30 2011 12:20PM
The NHL season is a marathon not a sprint and each leg of the course is unique. In this seven part series we'll look at the make up of each one, how the Leafs have fared, what games they'll need to win, and what games we'd love to see. We'll even do it for the months that the Leafs don't show up to play.
Regular readers of Pension Plan Puppets know that November is the single most important month on the calendar. Regular fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs will recognize it as the month where the 2010-11 season went well and truly off the rails. October ends with a tough stretch of games on the road but November brings with it the opportunity for the Leafs to put a dent in the 90 points that they will likely need in order to make the playoffs.
Wednesday, November 2 at New Jersey
Thursday, November 3 at Columbus
Saturday, November 5 vs Boston
Tuesday, November 8 vs Florida
Thursday, November 10 at St. Louis
Saturday, November 12 vs Ottawa
Tuesday, November 15 vs Phoenix
Thursday, November 17 at Nashville
Saturday, November 19 vs Washington
Sunday, November 20 at Carolina
Tuesday, November 22 at Tampa Bay
Friday, November 25 at Dallas
Saturday, November 27 at Anaheim
Wednesday, November 30 vs Boston
Of the fourteen games in November, seven are against non-playoff teams from last year. As a bubble team, the team has to rack up as many points as possible from the Ottawas and St. Louis' of the NHL. When a team travels the second fewest miles in the league there isn't much to complain about. However, taking a look at that four game road trip I imagine that if Ron Wilson and Brian Burke were in a buddy comedy they'd look like this at the end of that trip:
Record Since The Lockout
2005-2006: 8-5-1
2006-2007: 7-7-1
2007-2008: 4-6-3
2008-2009: 4-6-3
2009-2010: 5-5-3
2010-2011: 3-7-3
Total: 31-35-14
Geez, last November wasn't very good was it? If you're keeping track, those were the most important points lost last season.*
*This will make sense later if it doesn't already.
Big games
Friend of the blog Jason Chimera, Alex "The Russian Wellwood" Ovechkin, Alex "Lazy Russian" Semin, and Bruce "Wing Sauce" Boudreau were part of three of the Leafs most memorable games last year. This game won't represent a measuring stick for the Buds - the Caps are only technically in the Leafs' league - but the November 19th game will give Leafs fans a taste of what it's like to watch a Stanley Cup Contender.
The Capitals will be hungry for two points in Toronto
The next day against Carolina will feature a match up against any number of former Leafs as well as a competitor for the final playoff spot. But the biggest game of the month will be November 12th against the Ottawa Senators. That game, while a likely two points for God's Team, doubles as the Hall of Fame game on the weekend on which the latest class will be inducted. There will certainly be a lot of Leafs' related content:
Ed Belfour
Joe Nieuwendyk
Doug Gilmour
Banana Peels
Sure, it's half of the month but good lord those last six games have the potential to be awful. A cross-continental road trip sandwiched between home games against the class of the Eastern Conference (Regular Season and Post Season Editions).
There are some good sports writers in Toronto. They are enjoyable to read. However, the mittenstringers in Toronto generally have a larger hand in setting the agenda among the average Leafs fan much to our chagrin. Too often these guys go unchallenged. Howard Berger's finally been shown the door and his tenure will soon pass into history with nary a memory other than this spectacular pantsing by Ron Wilson that spawned a long-lived meme.
1:27 if anyone wants the good part of the video
August 31 2011, 12:18PM
@Pension Plan Puppets
That will be a pretty epic evening. Hope they don't screw up the in house stuff.

Houston Chronicle ^ | November 7, 2012 | Rick Perry
Skip to comments.Gov. Rick Perry, 2016 & the Future of Texas
Posted on 11/07/2012 1:54:02 PM PST by wk4bush2004
Gov. Rick Perry's Facebook page is definitely interesting right now, to say the least. There is a lot of talk, urging him to consider having Texas secede from the union.
While I believe that talk of secession is a bit dramatic right now, I understand where people are coming from.
Frankly, I would support getting a coalition behind Gov. Perry for 2016 to take back the White House!
If Texas leaves the union, my husband and I will move there in a heartbeat or quicker.
Link to his FB page?
Why soil his dignity and occupy the White Hut? He can be the first President of the newly re-constituted Republic of Texas.
Just let me in before they close the gates!
Yes, this is idiotic and it is never going to happen.
Further, within another generation Republicans/conservatives will have a hard time winning even Texas due to the explosion of Democratic voting Hispanics.
You might want to find another state if you are thinking long term.
I vote for The Republic of Texas. My ancestors were here back then and I would be thrilled to live to see it again.
And I say; Good for him.
I would move my family there as well.
Yeah, good luck with 40% Hispanic population and growing rapidly, the Republic of Texas will be the Republica de Nuevo Texas, a budding banana republic or a Mexican drug proxy. And that is a big if... Obama will be the new Lincoln after crushing Texas' secession.
As a Texan I can say, the reason why Dewhurst did not get elected as senator was PERRY!! The two of them are big spending anti-Tea Party Rinos. Perry was a democrat till Bush was elected govenor. Our tax rate is in the middle of the country because of fees and crap that are hidden in the Tx cost of doing business. Our property taxes are off the chart. School Kids get the same liberal crap as those in Calif or Mass. /another post election rant
Looking at the map, I think it's clear that a sea of red means secession is now an increasingly likely event. I am not happy about that, because we all know what happened last time, and it was horrible.
But this time, the economics of it are reversed. To the extent that this country has an industrial base, it is now in the south, not the north. To the extent that we have an advancing and growing portion of our country, it is in the south now, not the north as it was in the Civil War.
Question is, at what point does that great sea of red on the electoral map finally get fed up with the fruits of their production going to dark blue cities filled with moochers and diversity consultants.
Can Oklahoma come? PLEASE?????
Which party?
The RINO Party?
The Conservative/TEA Party?
Thanks to mass immigration, Texas will be a battleground state within a few more election cycles.
Once enough conservatives have had enough of blue-state B.S., their emigration to TX will easily offset the demographic explosion of Hispanic Donkey voters. Texas could become a gigantic Galt's Gulch, and could incorporate OK, LA, and other states as well. Then the libs in the rump states can go pound sand.
I'd like to see my state of Michigan start awarding electoral votes by congressional district. I'd also like to see that disastrous 17th amendment overturned so we could get senators that actually represent the state again.
Go Texas go....oklahoma will follow....start the process...
I will move to Texas also. I do not want to live in socialist Amerika!
Secession talk is for quitters. It's an easy out.
It's like saying, I don't want to be part of the USA anymore, but I don't want to pick up and move away.
F*** that kind of talk. We're Americans. Alone, Texas would fall. And without Texas, SO/SW US is a failure. Better together, that's Texas and the US.
Besides...I haven't perfected my brisket yet. Still need your compadres to help me out :-)
I would most of the south would join texas and states in the plains.. Since most hispanics live mostly south part of Texas could sell that part to Mexico...
I'm for standing and fighting where I'm planted. Here in Michigan we are winning a little at a time.
Last night we did hold all of our GOP congressional seats (one went tea party) and crushed two of the world's worst pro union ballot proposals and a green energy proposal.
All the liberals fleeing for Texas is helping us out. LOL
I think the argument can be made that none of us live in the USA anymore, at least not a USA any of us will ever recognize again. Why not secede and start over, learning from the mistakes that killed the USA? There are no habitable empty continents to run to, so all that is left is to fight for self-determination. A country split this evenly on almost every issue simply cannot stand. There's no point in pretending that we remain one nation.
Sam Houston once said that Texas can make it without America, but America can't make it without Texas.
Rush asked a question earlier this week: If we split the nation along the Mississippi and gave the east to the liberals and the west to conservatives, how long would it be before the liberals were digging tunnels into the west?
there comes a time when a marriage cannot be saved, I am said to say. Texas, unfortunately, has an abusive, alcoholic spouse. It is past time for a divorce. The thing is, I really don't see the northeast or west coast being interested is stopping us - I figure they will be glad to see us go - and so would we. Someone in Texas government needs to start serious talks along these lines, negotiate the divorce, and let's end this thing.
When Texas chose to join the union, we did not sign up for a suicide pact. America has broken her contract with Texas, it's time for us to negotiate an agreed departure.
As both a Texan and one who loves the beauty of the principles of our republic as founded, I have mixed feelings about secession. It would be a cataclysmic undertaking, and could be disastrous. That said, I think Texas is the one state with the large enough population, diversified economy, and natural resources to make it as a separate sovereign state.
Heck, we will all be able to move down to Mehico before too long as there won't be anybody left down there except a few drug lords and crooked politicians / policemen.
I wish I had marketable skills to move myself.
I would rather support him leading the Red states to secede. This election has proven that people who believe in and follow the rule of law have no voice and no place among the Democrats' rule by thugs, gangs and criminals who have NO regard for the rule of law. As for 2016, let's see how the next year or two go before we start making any plans.
Texas, by itself, would be comparable to Australia. A little larger in population, a little small economy (about 14th). We have oil, natural gas, high tech, agriculture. It would be very viable as a stand alone country. And it would be growing very fast with business friendly policies.
Of course, we would have a few friends who would like to tag along, I'm thinking OK for one. Add up a few contiguous states and we would have a very powerful country well into the top 10 and fast growing.
I've been talking up secession for quite some time. I hope a plurality of states with perhaps Texas leading the discussions can begin to have a serious conversation with movers and shakers to get this thing rolling.
This country has crossed the tipping point and I can't think of a way for a solid conservative to ever win the WH again.
My advice to Perry would be to stay in TX.
BTW, I'd be thrilled to move to TX if TX would secede, in spite of your hot weather.
Why do we need Perry? We have our very own President King.
We should make King king.
Yes, and the mere occurrence of actual, public state discussions of the possibility of secession may finally get the attention of the DC ruling class and convince them how serious people are about limited government.
If that happens, there won't be any battleground states.
"Frankly, I would support getting a coalition behind Gov. Perry for 2016 to take back the White House"
In a New York minute. I would give up everything I own. He was our guy. I donated to his campaign. When the good conservatives ridiculed him and chose not to support him in South Carolina and he dropped out,I supported Romney with all my heart.I donated to his campaign. When the good conservatives spat and turned their backs and chose not support him nationally, I went into a state of depression and there I remain reading all the sick excuses from those who deserted the cause for a cause of their own so that Obama could stroll back in. I would give the last days of my life if Rick could lead us out of this abyss for the sake of future generations. I confess to being a drama queen. I'm sure we would never leave the union but if we did, there would suddenly be a lot of believers in work and Mitt's plan. The Little Red Hen. They probably would even want to follow. Anyway, not in my lifetime.
I live in Texas pretty close to the OK border.
I lived there while in law school.
My whole family (all Texans) supports the idea that if our liberty is more important to loyalty.
In other words we aren't leaving the US, the US left us.
Not if Y'All get your behinds down here & help boost the White population. It surprises me when people fail to consider that the whole point of secession is to *change* the way we live & restore traditional values to the area of secession. No more federal meddling & sovereignty for the government *we* elect & that serves us. Closing the border & restoring God to our schools, courthouses, & public areas would be Job 1- especially under Gov Perry.
No one, and I mean no one, possesses the ideological purity to measure up to everything required by all the different beliefs in "conservatism" and still appeal to a nationwide audience.
Until those who call themselves Republicans are willing to make small concessions and use a "salami slice" approach to politics, Repubs will stay a minority party - and that's IF they can get elected.
Until Repubs get behind their candidate and actually get out and vote for him instead of sitting home in a huff because of some perceived ideological "impurity", we will stay on the road to the third-world-hellhole-ism of the Democrats.
Sorry but you will be consider illegal alien and would have to get in line to apply. The line will be long since Texas has no income tax and vast mineral resources, ie self supporting. Texas is paradise, take your pick... snow, sunny, mountains, forest, ocean, farmland, clean water, oil and gas. The perfect state for secession.
Hey potty mouth, maybe you should look at where Texas falls in a list of the worlds largest economies.
As to the moochers already in Texas, cut off their free stuff and they will relocate of their own accord. And if you require voters to 1) have a job and 2) pay taxes, you pretty much eliminate the democratic party base.
Something needs to happen to shake their livers loose.
OT but, as to Michigan: Glad you won what you did up there, but have you any insights on why Stabenow won so handily? (MInd you, I just don't understand many states' voters. Over in Wisconsin they picked a stereotype Madison leftist over the admittedly dull Tommy Thompson.)
I have spent half my life in Texas. I think we are only a moderately conservative state. Consider that Houston has an openly gay mayor. Austin residence are mostly liberal. There we would already have the New Hollywood for the republic of Texas.
Right now I feel I'm living in a nation much like Germany just before the Nazi's took over. The only difference is Germans back then had a chance to flee to the USA. Where do we go from here?
"Residence" should be "residents".

Skip to comments.Unarmed teen shot inside homeowner's fenced yard, but not breaking into home, NOPD warrant says
Posted on 07/27/2013 9:03:05 AM PDT by Sharkfish
A 14-year-old boy remained in critical condition Friday after being shot in the head by a homeowner who said he thought the teen was trying to break into his house. But police said the teen was unarmed and did not pose an "imminent threat" when he was shot and have charged the owner with attempted second-degree murder.
(Excerpt) Read more at nola.com ...
was the perpetrator black? Was the homeowner a white Hispanic?
If the boy is black and the homeowner not black, this could be another Trayvon Martin case. A key difference is that the boy was up to no good, whereas the liberal view of Trayvon Martin is that he was just minding his own business walking home. They can't say that in this case. But the liberals and race baiters will say that even though the boy should not have been at this guy's house, that it was excessive force.
Now, if the homeowner was black and the boy is black, then this story will disappear from the media. It will only stay alive if the boy is black and the homeowner is another race or ethnicity.
Was he drinking a bottle of iced tea flavored with Guaifenesin?
Sounds very familiar:
Familiar to what?
I think a key difference could be to the other side. Martin had jumped and was beating the crap out of Zimmerman. This kid, along with being three years younger didn't show that he was an imminent threat from which the shooter couldn't retreat.
Umm, professional thief here. 2am out in the yard of the homeowner. No way I'd convict.
"Familiar to what?"
The other thread on the subject?
14 years old?
Hey, mom, where are your parenting skills?
You left out the real possibility that the homeowner is a White Black man.
You know, someone with skin like the late Michael Jackson.
"did not pose an 'imminent threat' when he was shot"
Easy to say after the fact.
However, at the time the homeowner was defending hearth and home how was he supposed to know that the perp was unarmed and not an imminent threat? If someone's trespassing upon one's property they certainly don't have your best interest at heart, and why does the homeowner have to second-guess himself in whether to use a gun in protecting home and family against a threat?
Sorry. Missed previous thread
Try a search.
""He would steal — he was a professional thief, sure," David Coulter said. "But he would never pick up a gun, not in a million years. He was too scared to aim a gun at the grass, let alone aim it at a person. No way. Before he'll ever pick up a gun, he'll be your friend first."
I guess she had some parenting skills. Not many, but some.
If a trespasser is on the property at 2 am the homeowner as a matter of law should be entitled to assume he's an imminent threat. Cops say that although the teen had a history of burglary arrests he never in the past used a gun. And the homeowner was supposed to know this?
"the teen's history of burglary arrests "
his brother says: "He would steal — he was a professional thief, sure"
And for those who didn't look at the pictures, your stereotypes are correct.
Of course the homeowner is guilty of racial profiling and premeditated murder...he lured the innocent young man into attempting to steal by dangling the rewards of hard work and honesty in his face... how could he be expected to resist...it's like hunting doves at a bird feeder. (sarc)
The homeowner is guilty of not killing the punk and sticking a throw down, or at least a knife, in the punk's hand.
Let's see. Teen w/ prior burglary arrests (but never used a gun before...WOOPIED-F*-DO?!) is shot while INSIDE a fenced/gated property (can't see how THAT was a 'mistake') @ 2AM (where's the parents??)
I presume he was told to leave? The story doesn't say. But dude was spooked enough to shoot (this IS New Orleans) from the kid 'reaching for something'.
Still a good shot..30 feet to head. Love the older brothers comment: "He would steal — he was a professional thief, sure..."
Just another instance of the wrong non-verbal communication from the Amish. A simple "Excuse me" could have diffused the whole situation...or good PARENTING (where the blame lies).
I believe a fence means private property - stay out.
And as silly as that sounds, if little barry bassturd boy needs more distraction from the criminal acts he is perpetrating to destroy America, his strawboss holder will hype this to the max, even sending unJustice dept. monies down NO way to foment more unrest which the regime will exploit by herding black people by their magic thinking.
It has already started. I live in N.O. on the west bank. Local talk show was discussing it. Blacks see it as a white guy killing a black youth. Whites see it as a man protecting his property where he has a child and a pregnant wife. The NOPD has video which shows the youth climbing the fence to gain access to yard. Got a sick feeling the self appointed reverands will be down soon to roil up an already racist group for more contributions to their org's.
So what?
Is that a crime in Louisiana?
Everyone should remember the sad fate of the idiot white do-gooder from Seattle or Portland, who, in the aftermath of Katrina, opened a small medical clinic in New Orleans with her husband. She was shot and killed answering the door in a 2 a.m. attempted robbery. Left behind a toddler.
Never mind, that a simple review of the recent news shows that:
The white Hispanic, Aaron Hernandez, has been charged with murder and already convicted in the court of public opinion for killing a young black man;
An old white guy, John Spooner, was just convicted of murder for shooting a black teen in Milwaukee; and
Now the white man in this article is charged with murder for killing a black teen on his property.
The black agitators will not let facts get in their way. They will continue to scream that the Zimmerman verdict (despite all the evidence in Zimmerman's favor) now means that it's legal for non-black to kill black boys. And Useful Idiots will continue to mindlessly parrot the drivel.
The baby boy had already committed numerous robberies and now he had climbed over a fence to get onto the man's property. Why do you think he violated the law to enter that man's fenced yard? He wasn't going to sit in the yard and have a picnic by himself - he was going to rob that yard or car or house - the owner's property and could have had a gun to kill those people inside the house.
What did the property owner think at that time: His dog's bark said there is someone bad there, the man shot one time 30 ft. away from the robber baby boy, and the bullet hit him in the head. Why did the baby boy robber get shot? Because he was trespassing and the homeowner was fearful for his pregnant wife and child.
Moral to stay alive for baby boy robbers: Don't trespass or you may get shot. Baby boy didn't think anyone would hurt him so he could rob all he wanted. He was wrong.
My old neighborhood. Glad I left that crime-riddled rat infested hole.
As likely, hey dad, where's your parenting?
This is why you wait there silently until they get their head and shoulders and at the very least waist into the house before you blast them....
What if the homeowner was following biden's advice.....
I don't doubt what he was up to, and I don't know well enough the LA laws to know if the shooting was within its parameters.
Just pointing out some fundamental differences between this and the Trayvon situation in which Zimmerman IMO was on less reasonably questionable grounds IMO. Putting it simply, the evidence shows that Zimmerman's life was in immediate danger, Trayvon was in the midst of committing a felony, and Zimmerman wasn't in any position to be able to retreat.
I have found that stuff to be great for chest congestion.

The Easton Velocity V7 Grip Hockey Sticks are simply put, high performance sticks with a high level of durability. Some product managers refer to these style of sticks as "team sticks" because they can be used at elite levels of hockey but are robust in their construction so that they last longer than top of the line models. The Velocity V7 stick utilizes the HyperToe blade, full Uni-Carbon shaft and blade construction.
The V7 sticks offer top end performance but are beefed up during it's construction process. The side walls are thicker providing an even more solid stick feel with increased durability than top end models, all without sacrificing performance. The beefy shaft uses the same Uni-Carbon shaft and blade construction as the V9 and V9E. This Uni-Carbon System universally aligns fibers from top to bottom to giving players a more efficient energy transfer process as well as a decrease in overall weight. The V7 uses the Traditional Tuned Taper that was used throughout the Mako II line. This type of taper balances power and a quick shot release for the best of both worlds.
The big change throughout the Easton Velocity Stick Line is the new HyperToe™ blade construction. This blade utilizes a softened middle portion with a stiffened toe portion to create a "blade flex profile" that functions like a shaft, able to be loaded and unloaded, to provide insane velocity on an insanely accurate shot. When the new HyperToe™ is combined with one of the dual-lie blades (E3, E28 and E36), the ultimate shot is achieved. The dual-lie creates the ultimate blade angle for velocity by keeping the puck on the toe while also raising the heel allowing both the shaft and blade to fully load for maximum velocity. Easton continued improving the blade with the usage of CoreCell™ Foam within the segmented blade core to create great great puck feel, responsiveness and pop.

The Waratahs campaign does not get any easier this weekend as they host a Blues side in excellent form at the Allianz Stadium.
The Waratahs campaign does not get any easier this weekend as they host a Blues side in excellent form at the Allianz Stadium.
For the Waratahs the stakes cannot be any higher. Another loss at home will surely turn up the heat on a team that is sitting 13th on the combined table and last in the Australian conference.
Whilst they have shown patches of brilliance, and an attacking intent, their unforced errors have let them down, and at the end of night, a loss is a loss. But form isn't their only concern, as they have lost playmaker Berrick Barnes for six weeks to a thumb injury after only just welcoming him back last weekend after a long lay-off, forcing coach Cheika to look to Rob Horne to take his place.
The Waratahs will also be without Polota-Nau and Wycliff Palu as they are both sidelined for another week, but they will be welcoming back Drew Mitchell, who was controversially left out of last weekend's playing squad, because of poor form, but with desperation, comes desperate measures.
Mitchell will take Turner's place on the wing, with Israel Foulau retaining his full-back position, and Bernard Foley and McKibbin making up the centre pairing.
Dissecting the Tahs isn't too complex, the team has the ability on paper, but the burden of anxiety that has been built up chronically over the past few seasons has let the team down, according to Michael Cheika.
The Tahs however will have something that may build their self confidence, knowing that whilst they don't have the best overall record against the Blues, they can take solace in the fact that the Aucklanders have not won in Sydney since 2003.
The Blues camp is boosted with the return of All Black Anthony Buric, who has not played for over 12 months because of a neck injury and will be injected off the bench. Keven Mealamu however has been left out as a precaution by John Kirwan.
The Blues had an explosive start under their new management, having defeated the Hurricanes 34-20 and Crusaders 24-15, but lost to the Bulls a fortnight ago.
Whether the week's bye has done the Blues any favours, we will have to wait and see. The Blues coach has admitted that the team suffered with poor execution against the Bulls, and an inability to change from plan A to plan B.
"We technically didn't get it right against the Bulls and we didn't have the ability to adjust on the football field. We need to be able to do that this week, because the Waratahs will throw different stuff at us," Kirwan told the Sydney Daily Telegraph.
There has been talk of the match being front-dominated, or as Kirwan puts it, like "WWF wrestling", which will put the Tahs in an interesting predicament of being sucked in with the forward two rows, or playing the backs with Foulau taking pot-shots at breaking the line.
Against the Cheetahs the Tahs had a strong scrum, and even won a couple of scrums agains the feed. The Blues are brilliant at counter-attack, so the Waratahs will be tested in defence as well, but the feeling is that if the Tahs can get their passes to gel, their ability and gameplan could get them over the line.
Waratahs: 15 Israel Folau, 14 Peter Betham, 13 Adam Ashley-Cooper, 12 Rob Horne, 11 Drew Mitchell, 10 Bernard Foley, 9 Brendan McKibbin, 8 Pat McCutcheon, 7 Michael Hooper, 6 Dave Dennis (capt), 5 Kane Douglas, 4 Sitaleki Timani, 3 Paddy Ryan, 2 John Ulugia, 1 Benn Robinson. Replacements: 16 Luke Holmes, 17 Sekope Kepu, 18 Mitchell Chapman, 19 Jed Holloway, 20 Matt Lucas, 21 Ben Volavola, 22 Tom Kingston.

So what is the difference between morality and ethics? I've come up with my own understanding of the difference but would be interested in what others might think.
The difference between the two as I see it is that morality is a gut feeling. It's your inner sense of right and wrong that has developed over the course of your life. Ethics is a set of specific rules, often written down, that state right behavior and wrong behavior.
So to use the Bible as an example, the sense that it is wrong to kill within the tribe (but not outside the tribe) is morality. The Ten Commandments would be a set of ethics.
Views: 982
I think that makes sense to me. Ethics can be consider a formal study of our morality. Listing those moral rules would be part of it.
Although as I write this it occurs to me that ethics is more than just a study of what is, it is also a study of what should be. Many groups, business and advocacy groups, will try to create ethical rules which they think people should adhere to.
my understanding on Deontology is that it is a type of moral system. its based on adherence to rules. for instance revealed religions are deontological ethical systems. they are based on adherence to the revealed rules of their particular god.
"Morality (from the Latin moralitas "manner, character, proper behavior") is a sense of behavioral conduct that differentiates intentions, decisions, and actions between those that are good (or right) and bad (or wrong). A moral code is a system of morality (for example, according to a particular philosophy, religion, culture, etc.) and a moral is any one practice or teaching within a moral code. Immorality is the active opposition to morality, while amorality is variously defined as an unawareness of, indifference toward, or disbelief in any set of moral standards or principles."-Wiki
Ethics is the philosophical discussion of morality. In the colloquial sense ethics is also a synonym for morals. Isnt english fun? Some random people started saying ethics in place of morals not understanding the distinction and now we get to confuse generations of laymen for our amusement.
Some useful resources:
Ethics vs morals and morality - What's the distinction? blog post
quotation: "[Ethics is] is the philosophical study of morality. The word is also commonly used interchangeably with 'morality' to mean the subject matter of this study; and sometimes it is used more narrowly to mean the moral principles of a particular tradition, group, or individual. Christian ethics and Albert Schweitzer's ethics are examples."
-- John Deigh in Robert Audi (ed), The Cambridge Dictionary of Philosophy, 1995
Word of the Day - Morality vs. Ethics
Broadly speaking, morals are individual principles of right and wrong, and a system of ethics deals with sets of those principles. Both terms entered the language in the Middle English period, with moral being the older form by about 100 years (c. 1300).
Article on Atheism.about.com: What are Ethics and Morality?
The way I think about the distinction is similar to what you mentioned: ethics are on the outside/external and morals are in the inside/internal. Ethics can be situational and we take context into account...historical context, cultural context, etc. They are rules...guidelines.
I think of morals in absolute terms and ethics in relative terms. It may be considered immoral to kill, for example, but ethically acceptable to end suffering. When moral values and judgments are applied in a real setting, that equals ethics. Ethics boards in hospitals, for example, will reach consensus with families about 'end of life' decisions. The whole discussion about 'death panels' brought up by the Republicans during President Obama's health care reform plans paint a broad brush about palliative care and hospice care that oversimplifies the real moral dilemmas families face every day....human values, attitudes, judgments are subjective!
In the field of psychology, we're taught that morals are our own values. Ethics are the code set for us that determine right or wrong in legalese. Our instructor gave us an example: What would you do if your client came in and told you they murdered someone last night?
The moral answer would be to report it because somebody died and this person could get away with it. The ethical answer would be that you cannot break confidentiality, as a psychologist, as this client is not currently threatening to kill someone.

he loves them
"These were a gift. They are a perfect fit. Unlike the other nike bball shoe (air max version) these weren't too narrow. My boyfriend has a low arch and a fairly wider than normal, but not wide enough to order wide, foot. These are comfy and he can play in them for four hours straight (which he has done on occasion) and not have foot pain. In his old shoes (nikes as well) he has foot pain after about 20 minutes of bball."

What The HeckI've read the reviews for each individual product and they all pretty much said this was a good buy; I'm not so sure about that. I've used the system about 4-5 times already and I'm losing more hair than before! I don't know whether it's because I'm not using enough shampoo and/or conditioner but after I apply the conditioner and rinse it out there's quite a bit of hair on my hands and bathroom floor! I will try this system for one more week using more shampoo and a little more conditioner. I'm even going to email customer service and see if they can give me any tips or something. If this doesn't work I just might sue!

"I bought these because they remind me of a genie, they are beautiful in person ! As a bonus, they came with an extra set of heel inserts, ( the plastic thing on the bottom of the heel ), I have only worn them around the house, and the lining was a little scratchy, but i forgot that the minute I looked in the mirror ! Love love love them ! It did feel narrow near the toe, but once again I got accustomed to it and no problem . I ordered a size seven, since the birth of my child and losing the baby weight, one foot is nearly a 7 and one is bigger than a 6 1/2 by a little so I just went up to a 7 with all my shoes and don't have any issues with it. I'm not a little woman, but these shoes are funky and great, no fit issues"

"I LOVE these shoes so much I wore them twice last week! They are a little narrow so make sure you get them a half size bigger. Also, they are versatile so you can dress them up or down for any occasion LOVE the tassels on the back and the sculpted heel!"

"These are SO cute. I couldn't wait to get them in the mail. I typically wear a 9, but ordered a 9.5 to be cautious... they were too small! I ordered again, and got a 10, they are good. They are a tad narrow, just because of the way the toe is shaped. The only problem with them that I have-- because there is no strap that holds your foot in, they tend to slop/slip around a little. Cute!"

Arbitral Power and the Limits of Contract: The New Trilogy
Alan Scott Rau
University of Texas at Austin - School of Law; University of Texas at Austin - Kay Bailey Hutchison Center for Energy, Law & Business
October 7, 2011
American Review of International Arbitration, Forthcoming
Energy Center Research Paper No. 11-11
The American law of arbitration has for some reason been replete with what we have become accustomed to call "trilogies" – and the last two terms of the U.S. Supreme Court have curiously continued that pattern. Once again the Court has handed us three leading cases on closely-related themes – and these decisions have turned out in fact to be in many ways the most interesting of the lot. (I am referring of course to Stolt-Nielsen, Rent-A-Center, and Concepcion.)
All three amount to extended riffs on the Question of Questions – the scope of arbitral power: And so the Court has continued to dip its finger into this rich mixture – compounded of notions of judicial review, "arbitrability," "separability," compétence/compétence, and the preemption of state law – all of our hard-earned lore and learning is there. Apparently it is now well beyond the power of arbitrators to hold that "classwide proceedings are permitted," at least without some pretty special authorization (Stolt-Nielsen) – while it is well beyond the power of courts to hold that they must be – certainly not when the parties have agreed to an arbitral determination (Rent-A-Center), and even when they haven't (Concepcion).
It seems reasonably clear that these cases will continue to generate endless discussion. Undoubtedly for the moment the greatest salience will be with respect to arbitration clauses in contracts of adhesion entered into by consumers and employees – although this recent jurisprudence has the potential of sweeping far more broadly. Things now seem curiously muddled: If our law of arbitration no longer seems to have any clear unifying theme, this suggests that private adjudication – rather than presenting us as it once did us with a coherent and self-contained body of doctrine – has become a hostage to a game played out on a larger stage, a pawn of wider, systemic "political" concerns. Throughout the "trilogy" we have seen much familiar learning yoked to the service of a market-driven political agenda, in the process inevitably becoming warped and almost unrecognizable. And so – yet another untoward result – these cases will require the reevaluation of what seemed, for a while, to constitute comfortably settled certainties. Here is at least one step in that direction.

The Whole 9 Yardies
this wiki
- "The Yardies have their greedy eyes on Forelli turf in Newport. Get over there and lure the Forelli soldiers down to the hospital in Rockford. The Yardies will be waiting for them."
- ―Leon McAffrey
The Whole 9 Yardies is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories given to protagonist Toni Cipriani by corrupt LCPD police officer Leon McAffrey from Aspatria, Staunton Island, Liberty City.
Toni meets Leon in Aspatria and Leon informs Toni of the Uptown Yardies plan to gain the area. Leon, owing them a favour, sends Toni to lure four of The Forelli Family's Made Men to Carson General Hospital in Rockford. Toni drives to City Hall, stealing one of the Forelli motorcycles and drives to the back of the hospital, where the Yardies are waiting. Toni and the Yardies then kill the Forelli Family gang members.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go and steal one of the Forellis' bikes, but don't kill any of them
- Lure the bikers to the kill zone
- Take them out
The reward for completing the mission is $2,000 and the Crazy '69' mission is unlocked.
- The name is a play on The Whole Nine Yards, a phrase and a 2000 film. It also refers to the fact that there are nine Yardies waiting for the Forelli's.
- This mission is similar to Bait, in Grand Theft Auto III.

Revis Bucs 0-6 Hah!!
Posted 22 October 2013 - 07:12 PM

Around the League Writer
Published: Oct. 19, 2013 at 10:00 a.m.
Updated: Oct. 19, 2013 at 04:26 p.m.
The play of Darrelle Revis is far from the top of the list when breaking down the factors behind the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 0-5 start.
Still, there has been some hand-wringing about how the star cornerback has been deployed -- a mix of man and zone coverage previously not seen on Revis Island.
Breer: Inside the NFL Notebook
Will Greg Schiano's woes deter NFL teams from giving it the old college try? Albert Breer studies that question and much more. READ
According to one longtime former star of the Bucs' secondary, Revis -- now one year removed from reconstructive knee surgery -- isn't fully healthy.
"I don't think that knee is back to where it was yet, but he still has been playing well," Ronde Barber told The Tampa Tribune, via text message. "Probably not where he wants, but it's not like he's a liability."
"He's not being asked to play on the line of scrimmage like they were last year," added Barber, who retired this spring after 16 seasons in Tampa. "I think a lot of people expect him to be shutting receivers out playing man, but that's not what they are asking him to do. He does on certain third downs and situations where it calls for it, but not every snap like he was in New York. He still has awesome movement and wins at the line when he's up there."
There was a report early in the season that Revis was unhappy with how he was being used in coach Greg Schiano's defense. If true, that tells us the corner believes he can be playing the aggressive man style that became his trademark with the New York Jets. We'll see if that happens this season.

Temperatures might be dropping in Norfolk, Virginia, but we know of one BRAND NEW must-visit attraction that's hot, hot, hot!
The Chrysler Museum Glass Studio is now open to the public (as of November 2) and daily demonstrations provide a first-hand look into the fascinating art of glassmaking techniques. The ambiance is light, airy, modern, and a couple of furnaces running somewhere around 2,150 degrees offer a warm reprieve from cold, windy seasonal weather.
Katie from TravelPlusWine volunteers! Breathe in, breathe out.
Glass Studio demonstrations are FREE and they last one to two hours. Manager Charlotte Potter and her dynamic team of talented and outgoing artists dazzle visitors in a theatrical and entertaining way… leaving you with a profound appreciation and understanding of the glass world. Demonstrations will be offered at noon and 6pm and picnic lunches or dinners are highly encouraged. Enjoy the view with your food from the audience seating… watch from a safe distance or check out the television monitors above to get closer views of the live action. The Ghent district offers numerous gourmet restaurants with take-out, so make it a family affair or a unique, romantic date for two!
(Tip: TenTop is a hole-in-the-wall, unassuming establishment about a mile away but definitely holds a spot in the Top Ten restaurants of Norfolk. The food is gourmet and amazing – salads, sandwiches, pita pizzas for lunch or try the Caramelized Onion and Goat Cheese Lasagna for dinner. Call ahead to order for pick-up!)
The Chrysler Museum Glass Studio – Interior View
When you're finished discovering the world of blowpipes and cullets, walk next door to the Chrysler Museum. This impressive space houses one of the best art collections in the United States thanks in large part to the Norfolk community of art collectors ("Our Community Collects") who kindly put their finest pieces on loan so we, the public, can enjoy as well. Head right to the Glass Collection, one of the largest and most comprehensive glass collections in the world. Are you ready for 10,000 glass objects spanning 3,000 years? Many of us, as much as we appreciate art, don't have the time or patience to view everything… so head directly to the Tiffany Gallery and then search for works by Robert Wilson, Dale Chihuly, Harvey Littleton, Klaus Moje, Steuban Glass Works, Lalique, Paolo Vanini, William Morris, and many more. If possible, join a tour or ask a docent for more information. Their knowledge will help you bridge any gaps between what you learned in the Studio with what you're looking at in the museum.
(Tip: The Chrysler Museum is opened until 9pm on Wednesdays making this an excellent dinner & museum night!)
BUT WAIT… THERE'S MORE! Yes, it gets even better…
If the Glass Studio demonstration makes you hot for something more, well, hands-on… they offer WORKSHOPS! Extend your stay in Norfolk and sign up for a Two-Hour Teaser, One-Day, Two-Day, or Three-Day workshops.
(Tip:Just make sure you don't leave town the same day your workshop ends because glass needs to be slowly cooled in a kiln so it doesn't break. If that's not a possibility, make advanced arrangements to ship your project home.)
When you plan your trip to Norfolk… stay a few more days than you think necessary, you'll need 'em!
And, if you're interested in checking out more photos from the Chrysler Museum and Glass Studio, visit our Facebook page.

There are typically many untidy piles in the homes of Dipsea runners: shoes at the doorstep, old race shirts in the closets, dirty socks by the laundry, empty pizza boxes in the recycling bin. Greenbrae's Jed Tukman is certainly long on the pizzas. Last year, Tukman, owner of three Dipsea top-35 black shirts, left a teaching career at some of Marin's most prestigious schools to start a mobile pizza oven business.
Tukman, 43, grew up in Marin, attending the Ross School. He began running at the Branson School, where his first coach was Peter McLaughlin, son of 1988 Dipsea champion Eve Pell.
Tukman ratcheted up his athletic training when he rowed lightweight crew at Cornell. A class in fly tying there led to a move to Sun Valley, Idaho, where he taught fly fishing. He also made pottery, a skill learned at Branson.
While in Alaska on a seasonal job as a fishing guide job. Tukman's girlfriend broke up with him, and his dog died.
"I was devastated," Tukman says. "I wanted to start over so I moved back into my parents' home in Kentfield. I started running on Tamalpais, and I gave my all to the mountain. The running changed my life."
Tukman's first race was the brutal 28-mile Quadruple Dipsea, in 1996. He had a notion he could win "because no one had just gone through what I had" and went out at a suicidal pace, 53 minutes for the opening Mill Valley-Stinson Beach leg. As runners passed him — he still finished 12th in an excellent four hours, 41 minutes — Tukman realized he had much to learn. So he joined Marin's ultrarunning elite in their long weekend jaunts out of Mill Valley, leading to many new friendships and adventures.
"Jed, near the end of a four-hour run, was lagging behind as we worked our way over Tam toward home," said Bruce Mace, a Quad winner and one of Tukman's mentors. "Suddenly, we were overtaken by a ranger's truck with Jed in the passenger seat. He was rummaging in the glove compartment, the ranger trying to fend him off, searching for food. A hungry Jed had stopped the truck, claiming to be near death, and asked for a ride."
"There's never a dull moment with Jed," said Geoff Vaughan, another Quad winner and running mate. "What feels like a natural, daily pursuit to Jed is most people's biggest adventure of the year, be it endurance running, ocean fishing, backcountry skiing or hunting. He has probably done them all in the same day!"
Tukman raced his first Dipsea in 1998, when he ran 53:38 and was one of only two scratch (no head start) runners to win a coveted black shirt. Two weeks later, he ran the fastest actual time (1:47:57) in the Double Dipsea. Tukman is now a Dipsea regular, also winning shirts in 2000 and 2007. He has nine top-10 Quad finishes, with a best of third (twice).
"The Dipsea haunts me," Tukman said. "The course is spiritual. Doing well has so much to do with what is inside of you."
Tukman enrolled at Dominican University and earned a teaching credential. He taught kindergarten at Ross School for nine years, living in an apartment above the butcher shop across the street, then third grade at Marin Country Day School. Integral in Tukman's curriculum was instilling a love of Mt. Tam, such as taking his students on trips to see spawning salmon.
Again a broken romance, this time a marriage with another Marin distance runner, prompted Tukman to make a radical change. He had enjoyed pizza out of Fred Huxham's home — Tukman taught his son (also named Fred and now a star runner at Redwood High) — and Huxham told him about mobile pizza oven trailers. In 2012, Jed and partner Kari Fairchild invested in one. Firetrail Pizza, with Jed at the oven, is now a rotating lunchtime fixture at several Marin commercial centers and at special events, including races such as the Quadruple Dipsea. He couldn't be happier.
Tony Stratta, who ran his first Dipsea in 1947, died on March 29 at age 82. The race website said Stratta ran 59 Dipseas, which would put him only behind Jack Kirk's 67 finishes. Tony and his dad Dominic, whose own Dipsea roots date to 1924, won four consecutive Father-Son trophies. One of Tony's aunts, Helen Signorio, lived to age 107 and ended up the last survivor of the Dipsea Women's Hikes, which ended in 1922.
I talked often with Tony and his memory of old races was unmatched. A link in the chain of Dipsea lore has been broken.
State Park officials hope to place a drinking fountain at Cardiac, highest point on the Dipsea Trail, by race day, June 9. The stone fountain will be in the style of those built by the Civilian Conservation Corps on Mt. Tam in the 1930s. Pell spearheaded the project in memory of her late husband, Sam Hirabayashi, who ran his last Dipsea in 2010 at age 83. For decades, the only drinking water along the entire Dipsea Trail was a spring at Lone Tree flowing out of a fountain built by the Tamalpais Conservation Club in 1917.
