Mental health helps us face the challenges in our life, makes us feel comfortable, supports our physical health, and more. But day-to-day stress and difficult times can wear down our mental health. Major changes like losing a job, the death of a loved one, going off to combat, or coming out as gay can be especially hard. And even happy times — like becoming a father — can take a toll on your emotions.
Today, we know a lot more about ways to promote mental health. Try some simple steps, like making sure to get enough sleep, getting social support, exercising, and finding healthy ways to cope when you feel stressed.
If you are struggling with your mental health, you are not alone. In fact, about 1 out of 4 American adults suffers from a mental health condition each year. Experts don't know exactly what causes mental illnesses, but a combination of genes and life events often is involved. It's important to remember that mental health disorders are real medical illnesses that can't be willed or wished away.
This section describes some common mental health conditions. These include:
Other mental health conditions include bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
If you think you or someone you know may have a mental health problem, get help. Treatment with talk therapy, medications, or a combination of the two can be extremely effective.

Aviation inspectors were congregating in the western Japanese airport of Takamatsu last night in an investigation that will settle the fate of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
With no answers yet as to when the worldwide fleet of Dreamliners — numbering 50, with the oldest with only 15 months in service — might be up in the air again, investigators are studying the aircraft's lithium ion batteries and asking whether recent incidents may be down to a rogue batch in the 787's power systems.
It is expected that airlines worldwide will be kept waiting for at least a week before finding out the

The tendency of stocks to swing in lockstep, the bugaboo of fund managers, is on the retreat. At least, that's the picture over the last several months. The phenomenon of market correlation actually increased in February.
But that move leaves us at relatively moderate levels, where investors are again making distinctions between, say, Apple (AAPL), down 19% year-to-date, and General Electric (GE), up 13%.
Whether those distinctions are correct is another matter. But at least stocks are less prone to being dumped en masse one day, only to be greedily bought with both hands the next.
This spot — which happens to arrive as the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DIA) breaks a fresh all-time high — "hint[s] at normalization," according to Citigroup (C) strategist Tobias Levkovich in a note this morning.
Here's a chart of how closely the biggest 50 stocks in the S&P 500 (SPY) have tracked eachother the last five years — the blue line. The red line is the index's performance. The realized correlation of the S&P's 50 biggest stocks today is around 40% — versus more than 90% near the height of the financial crisis, and less than 10% early this year.
Click through for a closer look:
One interesting feature of this chart: Look how high correlation turned in late 2011 and early 2012. People were worried. And yet the market kept rising.
This is the chief reason that fund managers and especially value investors should hope for periods of high correlation. For months on end, investors were pushing around the market without much heed of the differences between and among companies. Eventually, the differences — in earnings prospects, growth and the like — play out in market prices.

Battling the Beast
Wearing class A uniforms, they sit sometimes for days, laughing, eating, joking...waiting for one sound, a tone that transforms them.
They abandon their armchairs for rubber boots, and their armor heavy and hot. Instead of trading jokes they relay directions, and orders, and shout reports of the status of the ENEMY--- "FLAMES ARE VISIBLE"
Fear and excitement grip the hearts of the freshest rookie to the oldest veteran as they jump into their big red fire trucks, perfect from washing, waxing and checking over and over. They pray that they have made no mistakes. The driver navigates the BRFT(big red fire truck) through the tight city streets that he knows as well as his family, dodging those that get into the way, hoping those he can't avoid will see him first.
They spot the ENEMY from blocks away - the column of smoke rises far above the trees, licking the sky.
They arrive at the scene, and again the battle cry is heard---- "FLAMES ARE VISIBLE"
Smoke fills the air and their lungs as they approach, hoses snaking, crisscrossing, coming to life as they surge the water from the fire hydrants to the fire trucks, that then sends the water to the hoses, turning them into weapons to use against the enemy.
The firefighters force open the front door, and a flash of liquid orange flame rolls out into the air trying to escape its defeat. With swords of water and suits of armor the firefighters advance into the structure, that is fully involved with flame, heat, and smoke.
They battle the BEAST nine or ten against one seemingly great odds.
But the nine or ten will win, emerging from the battlefield victorious as they always do, and eventually, they'll retire to their armchairs, thanking GOD that this time nobody was hit by the enemy "................FIRE................"

Ulster had their thirteen-match winning run ended by Northampton on Saturday as the English side hit back with a gritty 10-9 win.
Ulster finally had their impressive winning run ended by Northampton on Saturday as the English side hit back with a gritty 10-9 victory at Ravenhill.
In a surprise result, the Saints showed immense character to bounce back from last week's 25-6 defeat with a performance that clearly delighted director of rugby Jim Mallinder at the final whistle.
Northampton were unrecognisable from the outfit that fell so timidly last Friday as Ulster were well-and-truly under the cosh in the early sparring.
They fully deserved their opening points from Stephen Myler on seven minutes as it was an opening that showed Ulster they meant business.
That stirred their hosts though as after Darren Cave's break close to the right touchline, Ulster finally had some possession and territory that cooled the red hot start from the Saints. It was abundantly clear though that Northampton were going to be a much tougher proposition this time.
Saints almost emphasised that point when hooker Mikey Haywood – in for the suspended Dylan Hartley – broke on the left wing to take his side to within five metres. And the pressure finally told on seventeen minutes as lovely handling down the line from Soane Tonga'uiha and Ken Pisi led to number eight Gerrit-Jan van Velze fending off Andrew Trimble en route to the try-line. Fly-half Myler's conversion was solid so Northampton were now ten ahead.
Ulster didn't have thirteen straight wins under their belt for nothing though and in the blink of an eye they were almost going over for their first try of the night. It came from a Myler error as his chip kick was charged down and collected by Nick Williams who set off downfield. However, Rory Best's offload did not find his intended man so Saints survived with just three points going against them for a resulting offence. Paddy Jackson slotted to make it 3-10.
The home fly-half missed the opportunity to double his tally on 34 minutes after Tom Court followed up last week's personal win over Brian Mujati with the first points in the fight with Paul Doran-Jones. Jackson did make amends five minutes later though from the tee.
Northampton continued their fine effort in the second-half and even though Jackson reduced the gap to a single point three minutes after the break, the Saints still had the bit between their teeth and continued to apply the pressure in a meeting that was becoming tense.
In fact there was to be no further score despite Ulster's efforts, the hosts almost scoring a break-out try when Ruan Pienaar and replacement Craig Gilroy combined from halfway until exceptional cover defence and breakdown work from Jamie Elliott saved the day for Saints.
That was what he and many watching thought but a moment of brilliance from another substitute, Paul Marshall, created the grandstand finish at Ravenhill. The busy scrum-half was ordered to back himself down the blindside in his own 22 and promptly raced through a gap and up to halfway before handing on to Tommy Bowe, who slipped badly on the pitch.
However, lock Mark Sorenson then failed to release the ball in the tackle and that led to Pienaar having the chance to win it. He failed to succeed in what was an off-night for the Springbok and Northampton ultimately held on for a result that keeps their hopes alive.

Pen: Jackson 3
For Northampton:
Try: Van Velze

Giants are cruising, but cautious
SAN FRANCISCO – If the San Francisco Giants are looking for a reason to remain grounded, even with a commanding lead in the World Series, they only need to look in the mirror.
Although the Giants beat the Detroit Tigers, 2-0, on Thursday night to take a two-games-to-none lead in the World Series, they know better than to pay any attention to what history says about their chances.
"You have to get four wins in the series," Giants left-hander Jeremy Affeldt said. "Until you do that, you can never get too confident, because of what we did in the last two series. Their backs are against the wall and they are going to play like that."
The Giants, who won six consecutive do-or-die games to get to the World Series, now sit in a spot that usually leads to champagne. Of the 50 teams to go up 2-0 in a best-of-7 World Series, 40 have won the series, including 14 of the past 15.
"It's definitely a lot better feeling," Affeldt said. "We don't want to keep playing with fire. You don't want to be behind a lot. To go up 2-0 is the position every team wants to be it. Statistically, it's probably better to be up 2-0 than down 0-2. I'm guessing on that."
Underdogs when the series began, the Giants got to this position for the most basic of reasons. They've done everything right. Even the things they've done wrong.
On Thursday, for example, Gregor Blanco came up trying to make an out and got a hit, and Brandon Crawford tried to get a hit and grounded into a double play. Blanco also missed a cutoff man.
And every time, it worked out.
"We're just playing fun baseball right now," Blanco said.
Start with Blanco's "bad" throw. With Prince Fielder steaming around third on Delmon Young's second-inning double, Blanco airmailed Crawford, the shortstop, who was in shallow left to make a relay to the plate. But second baseman Marco Scutaro was backing him up, as he should have been, and he caught he ball and made a perfect peg to catcher Buster Posey, who laid the tag on Fielder for the out.
Blanco's next contribution came in the seventh, with the game still scoreless and runners at first and second and no outs. He was just trying to bunt the ball between the pitcher and the third-base line, to sacrifice himself and move the runners up. Instead, he rolled it too close to the line.
"I thought it was going foul," Blanco said. "Then all of the sudden I thought it looks like it's going to stay, and I started running."
The ball parked itself in fair territory, inches from the line, as the Tigers looked at it in frustration. It was a hit, to load the bases with no outs.
Crawford then came to the plate trying to knock in a run or two with a hit, and instead he grounded into a double play. But it was probably the best double play of his life, because it allowed the Giants to score the go-ahead run in a World Series game.
Fitting with the theme of the night, the Giants' insurance run an inning later also came on an out, Hunter Pence's sacrifice fly.
The two-run lead was plenty for closer Sergio Romo, who pitched a perfect ninth to save the game for starter Madison Bumgarner. When the last out settled into first baseman Brandon Belt's glove - with Miguel Cabrera and Fielder left on deck and in the hole, by the way - the crowd exploded, hoping to send the Giants away from AT&T Park for the last time this year.
If the Giants can win two of three in Detroit, they'll return to San Francisco with their second World Series title in three years. But Manager Bruce Bochy knows better than to start thinking about the parade.
"We're heading to Detroit and playing in their ballpark, and you have to keep pushing," Bochy said. "We don't, believe me, take anything for granted. You go out there and play hard every game. (Game 3) is our biggest game. That's how we approach it."

Louise Joyce Fiack, age 74, passed away July 25, 2005, at her home surrounded by her family. She was born April 7, 1931, in Myton, Utah, to Milton and Mary Jane Justice Hansen. She married Gerald P. Fiack Nov. 13, 1946, in Salt Lake City.
Mom was loved by all of her family. She was the pearl of our lives; always there when we needed her. She loved to knit, crochet, bowl, garden and read the Bible. She was a member of the First Baptist Church in Wellington.
Louise is survived by her children: Linda Richmann of Price, Eugene P. and Sherri Fiack of Kemmerer, Wyo., Rae Lynn and Gregory Smith of Elko, Nev., Lyman and Sue Fiack of Spring Glen, and Delbert and Ramona Fiack of Whitehall, Mont., 14 grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. Also survived by sisters: Jean Hansen, Alice Marie Nielsen, and LaRae Early and brother Raymond Hansen. Preceded in death by parents, brothers Waldo, Glen, Howard and great grandson Luke.
Graveside services were held Fri., July 29, 2005, at 11 a.m. at the Mountain View Cemetery in Helper. Friends called from 10:00-10:45 a.m. at Fausett Mortuary in Price the day of the service. The mortuary was open Thursday from 9 a.m.-9 p.m. for those who wished to sign the register.
Anna Helen Hill Henderson Howard, a native of Huntington, Utah, passed away on July 29, 2005 in Elko, Nev., at the age of 80. Helen was born to loving parents Effie Olivia Armstrong and Dr. Thomas Clark Hill on Dec. 13, 1924 in Huntington, and lived most of her life near Arimo, Idaho.
After 14 years of marriage, Helen's parents greeted their only child with great joy, but Effie's pleasure was short-lived, for she passed away in 1928. After Effie's death, her mother, Ane Kristine Olsen Christensen Armstrong, an Ephraim resident who emigrated from Denmark in 1867, spent each school year in Huntington caring for Helen and managing Dr. Hill's house. Helen was also nurtured by loving aunts, Ane Kristine's daughters Nancy Armstrong Stanford and Gracie Armstrong Edwards.
Ane took Helen across the mountains to her home in Ephraim each summer, where Helen made many friends. Helen's circle of lifelong friends includes Bertie-Mart Grange, Madge Johnson, Lila Wilson, and Willis Hart Howard. Helen graduated as valedictorian in the Class of '42 from North Emery High school in Huntington.
That fall she matriculated at the University of Utah to pursue a teaching degree. There she joined the Delta Gamma sorority and lived in the Delta Gamma house. She met her future husband, Robert "Bobby" Smith Henderson, of Arimo, Idaho in chemistry class. Bobby joined the 13th Army Air Corps and left for the Pacific Theatre in January, 1943. Helen transferred to the all-girls Mills College in Oakland, California, where she could often visit her Aunt Gracie across the bay in San Carlos.
Helen married Bobby on Sept. 4, 1945 in Santa Ana Calif. She returned to Mills College to receive her bachelor's degree in June 1946. They then settled on the Henderson Ranch west of Arimo, Idaho where they spent almost 50 years farming and raising cattle. Helen developed a loving relationship with her in-laws, Robert W. and Winafred Smith Henderson, of Arimo, both of whom predeceased her.
Helen loved being a mother to their two sons, Robert and Tom and often took them to visit relatives in Utah. Helen and Bobby enjoyed visiting friends and family across the world, and also enjoyed the companionship of their many friends and relatives who often visited or worked on the ranch.
Helen taught in the Marsh Valley School District in Bannock County, Idaho, for over 40 years. After Bobby died in 1993, Helen married her childhood sweetheart, Willis Hart Howard, in 1998. They divided their time between her ranch at Arimo and his ranch at Spring Creek, Nev.
The family is eternally grateful for the loving care and companionship Willis gave Helen in her later years.
Helen is survived by many family members and friends who love and will deeply miss her, among them her husband, Willis; sons Robert Hill Henderson, Salt Lake City, and Thomas (Merle) Hill Henderson, Grosse Pointe Park, Mich.; daughter-in-law Marguerite Marceau Henderson, Salt Lake City; stepson Ted Howard and stepdaughter Jan (Tim) Butterfield, Salt Lake City; stepson Stott (Laurie) Howard, DesMoines, Iowa; grandchildren Sarah (Sean) Collins, Salt Lake City, and Justin, Heather, Anna, Rachel, Sam, Amanda, and Matthew Henderson; sister-in-law Alice (Wendell L.) Dunn, Pocatello, Idaho; brother-in-law Stanley Henderson, Salt Lake City; close friend and aunt-in-law, LaRue Lowrey Smith, Arimo, Idaho; special cousin Lucille Armstrong Olsen, Ephrai; and special friends Ermine Thomas, Richland, Wash., and Robbie Nuttall, Boise, Idaho.

Fits my foot well, and always a bit large

No real action here.
Excited for the chapter after this.
No real action here.
Excited for the chapter after this.
FUCKIN EPIC !!!! Naah.. I had problems @ work, but this spoiler just made my day.
- I was right that Iruka would say the truth and that he's gonna sense everyone fighting for his safety.. BUT DIDNT EXCEPT HIM to leave the island, WTF?
It's just too soon, don't you think guys?? He will be stopped and I think that Killer Bee is gonna be the one who's gonna stop him. Naruto will try to convince him that he has control over his new powers, so Killer Bee will challenge him. Killer Bee has to win, so that Naruto will train like a BEAST.
Killer Bee will tell him that, he will be putting everyone lives at risk if he goes into that battlefield without having fully control over his new powers. If Madara captures you, then every life that has been put into the battle would be a waste.
Fck man.. can't take this anymore! Just read it once and I'm all hyped up How freakin badass of Naruto, to say that Iruka's barrier of THAT LEVEL won't stop him, hahaha.. My Man!
... You're Dead 2 Me Now ...
Pull yourself together man, calm down. Patience grasshopper
Yea, it's gonna be quite an epic moment/scene. I bet not even Jiraiya's barriers would be able to stop him now. Wonder when pa toad will teach him his own barrier techniques.
Nope it is time but KB had to be separated from Naruto in order for Madara to be able to capture him. This may also be part of the next chapter title in that Madara moves in on KB sensing Naruto is gone. This much I predicted...
Fire type
What chakra type are you?
naruto entered sage mode whiles moving how's that possible
Why the hell is everyone calling it RS mode? Naruto is no where close to being a Rikudou sennin in kyuubi-mode.....to call it RS mode just seems incredibly stupid.
I said sage mode not rs mode, he has no clones and he did not wait to build sage mode

Yea, you're right! It's time to leave and execute that jutsu perfectly on the battleground. Also having a new outfit, will probably happen when he becomes Hokage. His Rikudou Mode will make him unique among the rest.
- My theory was that Madara would try to capture Killer Bee, when KB is fighting Zombie Mode Jinchirikuu's. BUT if I think about it; Naruto leaving the island and leaving KB alone, makes it far easier for Madara to capture him.
- And like I've been saying; Naruto can sense them so far away when he's in a SEALED ROOM + he can sense darkness / evil. I'm convinced that he can sense Madara when he's teleporting through his dimension.. this will be Naruto's joker for being one-step ahead of Madara in speed.
[- I'm also 100% certain that Madara's teleportation ( his dimension ) was his extra doujutsu that he gained, when he got Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. ]
... You're Dead 2 Me Now ...
I'd almost bet that Naruto will head straight for Kakashi's side, except if he can sense Yamato, then that's where he'll go.
If Naruto goes to Kakashi's side, we will see him destroy the Edo Zombies, and we'll see him completely eradicate Edo Tensei, without the need for seals. That's the probable reason that Kishi hasn't been back to Kakashi's fight for a few episodes.
Naruto will destroy ET by destroying/eradicating/vaporising the sacrificial body and the mud/ashes it is composed of. There'll be nothing left for the Jutsu to reconstruct the Zombie from.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !

By RICHARD SHAWEmery County Progress publisher
A managed fire that was started in June and was barely smouldering last week turned into a large problem for the Scofield Mountain home subdivision over Sunday night to Monday morning.
On Sunday crews were battling the blaze but overnight strong winds came up and created spotting beyond the boundaries of the fires determined burn area and a number of full time families along with some summer residents have been evacuated.
According to Hal Stevens, the Manti LaSal National Forest duty officer for Monday last nights wind event took the fire to a new level.
"Yesterday it was kind of rough, but by last night things were looking much better," he told the Sun Advocate on Monday morning. "But overnight there were some big winds and calls started coming in that the fire was a problem."
Stevens said a few days ago the forest service had decided the fire had done its job and that they were going to work on putting it out. They began that process with some ground personnel, engines and a helicopter.
"Right now we have the incident command system in place and we have one ground crew, two wildfire engines and a helicopter battling the blaze," he said. "We are presently in the process of locating on site a number of structure fire engines, three more hand crews and have a type two helicopter on its way to help us."
A type two helicopter is larger than the standard helicopters used to carry fire retardant and water. They were used extensively on the fire in Mathis Canyon (off Willow Creek Canyon) three years ago when that blaze was classified at the top of the priority list for a few days.
A strike team of with five more engines has also been ordered to help out.

South Tahoe Middle School conducts lockdown drill
October 30, 2013
Members of several law enforcement and fire protection agencies swept through South Tahoe Middle School on Tuesday to perform a scheduled safety drill one day after a school shooting in Sparks, Nev.
The team moved classroom-to-classroom, making sure doors were locked and lights were off, shortly after the drill began about 10:45 a.m.
The district had considered canceling the drill, despite the fact that it was scheduled before the Sparks Middle School shooting, said Al Frangione, safety and technology consultant for the Lake Tahoe Unified School District. However, officials decided it was ultimately in South Tahoe Middle School's best interest to carry out the exercise.
"We'll do it just because we have to remain diligent," he said of the decision.
Several agencies were represented at the "Duck and Cover" drill Tuesday, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, El Dorado Sheriff's Department, South Lake Tahoe Police Department, California Highway Patrol and Lake Valley Fire Department.
The exercise occurred one day after an unidentified student at Sparks Middle School near Reno fired on campus. During the rampage, a teacher was killed trying to protect children and two 12-year-old boys were wounded before the shooter killed himself.
Karin Holmes, assistant principal of South Tahoe Middle School, said the incident worried Tahoe's students.
"Kids are concerned," she said. "It's near Reno. There's a lot to think about."
A number of law enforcement units were sent to South Tahoe schools shortly after the Sparks shooting Monday "to show some presence" and "try to have a calming effect," said Glenn Norling, special agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Additionally, South Tahoe Middle School and South Tahoe High School were on heightened alert after the incident, said Angie Keil, executive assistant to the superintendent, in an email. Exterior doors were locked and staff was "extra" vigilant.
Keil sent the email to families and staff later that day, expressing officials' condolences.
"It is with heavy hearts and deepest sympathy that we express our condolences to the families and the community affected by the tragic shooting at Sparks Middle School this morning," Keil stated in an email Monday. "Once again, it pains us to hear that school violence has claimed the lives of a teacher and a student."
"Our thoughts are with the staff, students and families of Sparks Middle School," she continued, "particularly those of the deceased and injured."
Norling, who has children in the district, said the situation has made him think about what he can do better to protect his kids, and how to help his kids better protect themselves.
"It's a lot of angst and concern, and a lot of empathy to the parents out there who had to experience something horrible," he said Tuesday. "It was a sleepless night."

Posted on 12/07/2012 7:00:26 PM PST by huldah1776
MEXICO CITY As a U.S. Marine, Jon Hammar endured nightmarish tension patrolling the war-ravaged streets of Iraqs Fallujah. When he came home, the brutality of war still pinging around his brain, mental peace proved elusive.
Surfing provided the only respite.
The only time Hammar is not losing his mind is when hes on the water, said a fellow Marine veteran, Ian McDonough.
snip--- But Mexican prosecutors who looked at the disassembled relic in the 1972 Winnebago motor home dismissed the U.S. registration papers Hammar had filled out. They charged him with a serious crime: possession of a weapon restricted for use to Mexicos armed forces
(Excerpt) Read more at mcclatchydc.com ...
With a "Band of Brothers".
They told him the Donkey Show wasn't worth it, but would he listen? Nooo....
too soon??
Ross Perot got his people out of Iran once...
SEAL team 6?
I would suggest petitioning the President, but considering his hatred of the US Military that would be a waste of time.
When this was still the United States of America, The President and Secretary of State, would recognize there responsibility to protect it's citizens.
They would use flowery language to send a quiet message to Mexico and tell them, "send our guy home now, or, we'll come and get him."
There would be a quiet response from Mexico, to the effect, "Sorry for the misunderstanding! Do you think he would like a beer for the road?"
"Anybody have any ideas on how to get this guy home?"
Pay the money—whether to the police, the gangs, or whatever. That's they way it's done in Mexico.
Don' think that it's a country run by laws, because it's not.
Don think that its a country run by laws, because its not.
yeah just like here
It's the institution of "mordida" (bribery) and indeed that's how its done.
I agree! I have no, let me repeat NO desire to visit Mexico!
This is crazy. I personally know a dozen hunters that have crossed in and out of Mexico, some for thirty years and never had any problems that a respectful smile and maybe a hundred bucks couldn't cure.
Get in their face, disrespect them or dare them to react and your @ss is grass(unless you know someone of rank or importance)
These rules are well known and/or just plain common sense. Claiming to be unaware of Mexico's vagaries just does not cut it with me.
As Gov. Perry has been known to say, "don't go to Mexico, it ain't safe". Take it to heart. It's hard enough to keep Mexico out let alone doing something stupid like going there.
Yes, we go and get him.
How about a Prisoner exchange?
We send them 100,000 Illegals currently incarcerated for our guy.
Mexico files lawsuits in America over illegal immigration and we can't get our citizen back home? Unreal.
When is the treatment of American citizens in Mexico and their rights vs US treatment of Mexicans going to be an issue when we discuss amnesty ?
Ever hear of reciprocal aggrements ? These are arranged to protect the rights of American citizens working or living in other countries.
Why is it when it comes to citizens of other countries we are required to offer them the same privledges as we do to US citizens? But when it comes to US citizens who get in trouble or attempt to do business in other countries they do not get the same treatment their citizens get.
Americans cant own coast land in Mexico. And get no title to it elsewhere. If they run out of cash theyll get unceremoniously sent back or put in jail untill some relative comes up with the fresh. Thats just for starters as for granting them voting privledges yea lets give Mexican citizens that right when American citizens vote in their elections .
I feel for this guy. But he broke the law in mexico. The fact he's a former US Marine who served in iraq carries zero weight in another country (it practically carries no weight here!).
What part of do not ever take any firearm or ammunition into Mexico, much less "Stay the HEll out of Mexico!", did he simply not understand?
What part of do not ever take any firearm or ammunition into Mexico, much less "Stay the HEll out of Mexico!", did he simply not understand?
I'm in
At this point it may be too late to pay a bribe.
It is not a bad idea to carry a few hundred bucks on you while in Mexico and $1000 should get you out of most problems at the onset of an issue with the police.
But when you enter Mexico, they will offer search your vehicle and they are looking for guns.
The Second Amendment does not apply south of the border.
Bill RIchardson? He loves being in the news and he goes to Korea a lot. I doubt he'd worry about a trip to his homeland if he got some press out of it.
To those who say the Marine should have known better.....it was an antique gun that most likely would have "passed" the measurement standard if the militants weren't so greedy. Too bad he didn't have a couple of hundred to get that bribe done.
Why didn't he have his Fast & furious Business card with him?
I am an American of Mexican Ancestry and every 2 years my family and I would go down to Mexico City to visit my father's family. We would drive down there. I recall my father being stopped by a police and I vividly remember my father "paying" him and the officer just went back to his patrol car. Being a child then I for some reason knew it was a "Payoff". Then there was another incident with the immigration. We were traveling on the coastal side of Mexico so we had to pass Tijuana. Every mile or so there were like Custom office that looked like a small house. Well there were some that were empty but we came across one that had 3 Mexican agents. They came out and inspected our car and my mother & father (both RIP) stood watching them. My mother then asked "what are you looking for?". This fat agent stated they are looking for a gun. My mother said "What! your looking for a gun in that small hole (where the passenger door handle was) then they went and open the back trunk and took everything out including our suitcases and opened them up and dragged out clothes onto the dirt. My mother got so pissed she went after the fat agent and told him off and order him to put everything back. So all 3 agents placed everything back.
Now I for one WILL NOT ever return to Mexico. It is so corrupt that is why my father never wanted to work for the Mexican government. My father had so many opportunities to get a government job from the high position but he gave it up and came to the US and worked as a farm worker when he could be living a comfortable life in Mexico. My father knew the whose whose in Mexico and that was thru my grandfather. My father was a man who rather struggle and keep his integrity than to accept a cushy job and become like them.
As for this soldier, I am sorry that he wanted to do this now he is learning the hard way. American people must remember that the US Constitution does not follow you around the world.
Back in the early 70's the Marines at camp Pendleton did just that after one of their Men was locked up on a bogus charge in TJ, they went down there 300 strong FULLY ARMED and removed him from their jail and brought him back home, and there was not even a peep from the Meican Government or any Government Official from either side of the tortilla.
I'm not trying to be facetious, but you can buy travel insurance with an extortion rider for these situations.
There also exists executive insurance plans. If you get spirited away by kidnappers or government officials, that insurance company will send an armed commando team to get you.
ping for prayer, wisdom and...connections(?), answers (?), help (?)
ping for prayer, wisdom and...connections(?), answers (?), help (?)
I join in earnest prayer for this hero!
Sending Heartfelt Prayers.
I have to question the mental well being of this guy. Mexico is in the middle of a war. 50k+ dead. Beheadings in the streets. Gun battles in center of major cities. He should have read up on the laws of Mexico. Thanks for your service but being an Ex-Marine does not excuse you from reading up on what you can and can not do in a foreign country.

Too big
"They are gorgeous shoes and the quality is great. I ordered 6.5. The size marked on the shoes is 6.5/37 not like what DSW.com describes as 6.5/36.5. I have narrow feet and normally wear 6.5 (sometimes 6, EUR 36). The size is way too big, it left about two-finger room against the heel counter while my foot touched the shoe toe. I would say order a full size smaller. I returned for exchange and I hope 5.5 would work better. I would recommend these if the size is right."

Many American landmarks inspire people to think big, but few can match the scale and grandeur of the Grand Canyon. A mule ride along Bright Angel trail, shown here, emphasizes the timelessness of the canyon, a geological wonder more than a million years in the making.
Tour operators run half-day and overnight mule treks along the trails in Grand Canyon National Park.
In 1872, 2-million-acre Yellowstone debuted as America's first national park, and visitors began flocking to soak in its hot springs, see elk and bison roam its grasslands, gawk at its geyser known as Old Faithful, and hear gray wolves sound chill-inducing howls at dawn.
Wide-open space is a unique inheritance for every American, and Yellowstone is the most dramatic example of what "wide-open space" really means. Here, the Lower Falls of Yellowstone River.
Road trips are practically a rite of passage in the U.S. One of the most meditative—and celebrated—drives you can take in the States is the 135-mile stretch of California's Pacific Highway 1 between San Luis Obispo and Monterey.
About two hours north of Monterey, Highway 1 crosses San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, a 75-year-old marvel of engineering and aesthetics.
Walt Disney pioneered the use of technology to create enchanted moments that surpass the mere roll-into-town carnival. His handiwork is probably our nation's most beloved contribution to global culture, in the form of movies and theme parks such as the Magic Kingdom in Orlando, Florida.
Admiring Cinderella's Castle, watching Princess Jasmine hug small children, and listening to the animatronic wax model of Abe Lincoln talk in the Hall of Presidents are typical items on the agenda for Disney World visitors.
Times Square—the stretch of Broadway between Manhattan's 42nd and 47th streets—delivers the most intense straight-up celebration of round-the-clock visual stimulation in the free world. 365 days a year, it's all lights, cameras, and action.
Climb the translucent, ruby-red stairs above Times Square's TKTS booth (which sells discounted, same-day Broadway tickets) for a better photo-snapping vantage point.
The neon-lit desert outpost of Las Vegas has a magnetic pull like no other. Every American ends up on the Strip sooner or later, whether for a bachelor party, a girlfriend getaway, a trade show, or a shockingly cheap hotel-and-airfare deal.
For a sure bet on a clear view of the Las Vegas cityscape—with its glass pyramids, faux Venetian canal, and Eiffel Tower replica—head to the Ghost bar on top of the Palms Hotel and Spa.
In 2013, Helen Mirren, James Franco, Usher, Jennifer Hudson, Ron Howard, and another 19 actors and musicians will be added to the more than 2,400 celebrities who've left their handprints and bronze-engraved names on the Hollywood Walk of Fame since 1958.
Even a few famous animals have left their paw prints on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. (Look for Lassie, Rin Tin Tin, and even Godzilla.) And check out the Grauman Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard, while you're there.
No place in the country captures Latin-tropical chic like South Beach, with its 23 pastel-hued blocks of hotels, shops, restaurants, and cocktail bars south of Dade Boulevard. Glamorously restored art deco and art moderne hotels dominate Ocean Drive and Collins Avenue, which run parallel to the Atlantic.
Given an average year-round temperature of 75 degrees, SoBe always draws a pretty crowd for people-watching along its ocean promenade and beaches.
The French Quarter of New Orleans, which is bounded by the Mississippi River, Rampart Street, Canal, and Esplanade, is home to nightclubs lit up in neon, French colonial townhouses draped in ivy, Creole cottages built on stilts, and antebellum mansions whose balconies are laced with intricate ironwork.
In Jackson Square, a patch of moss-bearded oaks in the core of the French Quarter, you'll find a striking statue of Andrew Jackson, the neo-gothic St. Louis Cathedral (shown), and Cafe Du Monde, which serves the city's signature beignets (fried dough treats).
Gettysburg National Battlefield is the most visited of the Civil War battlefields, and has a new, $135 million visitor's center. There, a 20-minute film narrated by Morgan Freeman explains how the three-day fight unfolded, and an 1884 Cyclorama depicts an infantry assault in a 359-foot-long-by-27-foot-high wraparound oil painting.
The landscape you'll see at Gettysburg National Battlefield is close to what the blue and grey saw, as the park service is slowly restoring tracts of land and forest to how they would have looked during the battle. Here, Civil War cannons are lined up along the famous Seminary Ridge.
The National Park Service runs tours of Pennsylvania's Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United State were created and signed.
The Founding Fathers didn't need iPads, PowerPoint or big-screen projectors to debate the Constitution of the United States. So it's apt that the National Park Service keeps its tour of Independence Hall, where those famous discussions were held, free of technological gimmicks.
Four out of 10 Americans have at least one ancestor who passed through Ellis Island between 1892 and 1954—a whopping 12 million immigrants in that 62-year period.
At the Ellis Island Immigration Museum, you'll visit re-creations of the port's key spaces, such the hearing rooms where people's cases were judged, while an audio tour narrated by Tom Brokaw delivers the back story.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the USS Arizona Memorial, which honors the men who died on the famous battleship sunk in 1941's Pearl Harbor air raid. A scale model of the ship inside the monument's museum gives a sense of what it must have been like to be on the vessel while it was under attack, and public tours include a 22-minute movie presentation, followed by a visit to the Memorial itself.
Nearby, a nonprofit group maintains the Battleship Missouri Memorial, which was the site of the formal Japanese surrender, while a preserved World War II submarine can be explored at the adjacent USS Bowfin Submarine Museum and Park, run by another independent group.
No sport is more central to America's identity than baseball, and the best place to pay homage to it is at Fenway Park in central Boston. In operation for 100 years, Fenway is the nation's oldest stadium that's still home to a Major League Baseball team.
Fenway Park is steeped in lore, such as for its Pesky Pole, a right-field foul rod so nicknamed because Sox player Johnny Pesky hit a two-run homer around the pole on Opening Day in 1946.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City draws more than 5 million visitors each year, and has a permanent collection of nearly 2 million works that span 5,000 years of creativity.
The Met has seen a slew of recent renovations: to its American Wing, its Greek and Roman galleries, and its galleries for the Art of the Arab Lands, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia and Later South Asia.
Daring architecture is a hallmark of the U.S.A., and Chicago has long been the epicenter of our nation's "edifice complex." No other American city has tried to erect as many high rises spanning as many styles as the Windy City—the birthplace of the skyscraper.
Chicago's downtown is jam-packed with prized buildings: the 110-story Willis Tower, the world's tallest structure until 1998; the John Hancock Center, whose crisscross trusses leave giant X marks rising 100 stories into the clouds; Tribune Tower, a Gothic fantasy of an office complex; Skybridge, a 39-story, glass-plate wonder that resembles a razor-sharp grater; and Aqua Tower, a two-year-old structure that looks like a topographic wave (or a stack of potato chips).
Soaking up country music in its native habitat is a true American experience. Nashville, Tenn. (a.k.a. Music City U.S.A.) is the best place to do it: It's dotted with twang-accented institutions, including the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Ryman Auditorium, which hosted the Grand Ole Opry for three decades.
Any trip to Nashville should include a tour of the countless honky-tonks along Broadway such as the Bluebird Cafe, a nightly venue that spotlights the best up-and-coming talents in country.
The Taos Pueblo in New Mexico contains the largest collection of multi-story pueblo dwellings in the country—well worth its UNESCO World Heritage status—and provides an uncommon insight into the culture of the first Americans.
Some of the 2,000 Tiwa-speaking people who live on an adjacent reservation continue to use this six-century-old settlement for ceremonial rites, such as for the Deer and Matachines Dances. Here, the Christian graveyard at the Taos Pueblo.
Downtown Washington, D.C., is packed with landmarks—especially along the neaby Mall.
Popular locations in Atlanta's Civil Rights District include Martin Luther King Jr.'s tomb (shown), the Historic Ebenezer Baptist Church, where King was baptized and ordained and where his funeral was held, and the King Birth Home, a Queen Anne-style house where he lived for the first dozen years of his life.

The Mansion at Maple Heights is a turn of the century English Manor Home, built in 1903 for Ted Berger, a prominent Pittsburgh businessman.
The interior of the home was detailed with the finest of dark oak paneling and hard wood floors. The library, foyer and landing of the grand master staircase are stunning with leaded glass and stained glass windows which illuminate this spectacular space with light. The large living room was used as a music room and is adorned with regal crown molding and an ornate limestone fireplace. The dining room has many period details including a cleverly hidden speakeasy that was used to hide liquor during Prohibition.
In all its splendor, The Mansion at Maple Heights is reborn as Pittsburgh's newest and most sophisticated event rental facility and bed & breakfast. The warmth of its original magnificence remains – enhanced only by brilliant chandeliers that provide a stunning backdrop for affairs big and small.

@Reno, I think AnnE likes it that short. It's been at least a year since she cut it and if she wanted it longer, it wouldn't be hard to do. Assuming her hair grows at a normal rate. I like it. 🙂

Madonna is proof that all the money in the world can't buy you graceful aging. I do not think she's aging well and it makes her look even more desperate when she's trying to act like a 25 year old. It's like watching your drunken Aunt Cougar at Christmas.ReplyCancel
Madonna looks great in that pic, especially without the grill, but I wish she would stop with the black leather. She is no longer "edgy".
I like most of the pics in this assortment. The people are nicely dressed for the most part. Diane von Furstenberg has aged very nicely. Madonna could take a few tips from her on how to look age appropriate while still looking fantastic.ReplyCancel

You know what else money doesn't seem to be able to buy? Blonde. There is a difference between blonde hair and yellow hair.

Great coat. What possessed you to pair it with that dress? If you don't know any better, remember that you pay people that do…

Additionally, a local horse has tested positive for the virus. With the active presence of West Nile virus in our area, residents are encouraged to stay vigilant and continue to protect themselves against the possibility of human infection.
While most people infected by this virus won't notice any symptoms, some people may experience flu-like symptoms or worse, especially the elderly or people with poor immune systems. The most serious cases can lead to hospitalization, disability, or death. The best way to avoid West Nile virus is to prevent mosquito bites by doing the following:
•Use mosquito repellants containing DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus when outdoors from dusk to dawn (when mosquitoes infected with West Nile virus are most active in our area).
•Wear long sleeved shirts and pants while outdoors.
•Drain any standing water on your property to reduce mosquito populations (buckets, tires, wading pools, etc.).Report bodies of stagnant water to the Mosquito Abatement District (435-627-0076).
•A vaccine is available for horses. Contact a veterinarian for more information.

Skip to comments.CAN HILLARY BE OUR PRESIDENT IN 2013?
Posted on 11/12/2012 2:00:14 PM PST by blueunicorn6
A little question for everyone on Veteran's Day. Can Hillary Clinton be President of The United States in 2013? Here's a couple of clues. I'm not talking about an emergency situation like an assassination or accident. Look at President Gerald Ford and Vice President Nelson Rockefeller. Good luck! Extra points for being first and pointing out the correct amendment.
I like cake.
25th Amendment. You're assuming (1) Biden resigns, (2) Obama appoints Hillary VP,and (3) Obama then resigns. Not very likely, but theoretically possible.
Oh boy...Hillary Clinton, just another Precedent of the United States?
Are trying to send me to a very early grave?
And it all has to happen before 12/21/2012.
Hey my dad was a member of the Army Air Corps during WWII. He flew the hump but I don't think as many missions as my brother said.
Correct. Of course, if Biden resigns, dies or becomes incapacitated, Obama can nominate anybody, or anybody who meets the eligibility requirements.
Of course, the nomination still has to make it thru a majority vote of both houses of Congress.
She could have to replace Biden as VP after Jan 20,
or she would have to remain SoS, hope Obama and Biden stepped down, and hope Boehner declined or stepped down, and the same with the Senate pro tempore.
As SoS, she is 4th in line:
Speaker of the House,
Senate pro tempore [currently Daniel Inouye (D-Hi)],
Attorney General, ...
I doff my cap to ypur dad. I chose this FR name to pay homage to my relatives who served in the USAAC/USAAF.
I doff my cap to your dad. I chose this FR name to pay homage to my relatives who served in the USAAC/USAAF.
So ironic in many ways - I firmly believe that there is serious questions concerning Biden's mental capacity, and when the question of meeting eligibility requirements arises, of course there is doubt that 0bama meets them.
Sorry. I just think it's interesting that with all this Benghazi/Petraeus stuff, she's been quietly biding her time. I don't ever trust a Clinton. They're leg breakers.
I do agree with you on that. If Hillary sees an opportunity to promote Hillary, she'll take it.
No. She`s on her way out as SoS and in 2014 prep her acsension to the throne in 2016.
I recognized the irony when I wrote it.
In this process, as in the regular election process, there is no group or individual specifically charged with determining whether the candidate or nominee is qualified.
Not specifically covered by the Constitution. The most logical and constitutional approach would be to have Biden confirmed as VP by the Senate, and if the president-elect is unable to serve, for whatever reason, the VP succeeds to the presidency.
Mitt gets elected Speaker of the House in Jan 2012, replacing Boehner. (Mark Levin said that it was possible.)
Both the BFN and Biden get impeached, or whatever.
Mitt takes the Oath of Office with an immediate surge in the stock market and the American business world.
If she has anything on O, then she'll be VP soon. If not, then she'll retire to her knitting. Somehow its hard to see her knitting.
I really feel that The Electoral College, rather than being a ceremonial rubber stamp, should seize the initiative - starting this year. They have to be aware that there is serious question that 0bama is legally qualified, and particularly in his capacity as Commander in Chief, the military needs to know he is not a foreign born usurper.
Stop it !
My BP is acting up....
Just a minor alteration makes it happen.
Step 3. Obama then takes a stroll in Fort Marcy Park.
Don't forget; we're dealing with the Klintoons here!
True. I was thinking if Obama was found not eligible before he was sworn in that he could not take office and his election would be held null and void since he was not eligible. Rhomney would be the next in line by vote count.
If, the massive voter fraud in OH, FL and PA were exposed and acknowledged by some legal controlling authority, the the electoral college would have to vote in Romney.
Thank you so much. I appreciate it. The really tough thing about it is every time they flew a mission; they didn't know if they were coming back mainly due to mountains. WWII vets never talked about the war much. I know my dad would never eat rice again.
The famous Marie Antoinette quote, "Let them eat cake" is widely misunderstood.
"Cake", in this instance, actually refers to the burned, black film that lines the inside of a frequently used bread oven... all that burned stuff that's 'caked' on the inside of the oven and needs to be scraped out from time to time. Supposedly it's edible, but would you want to eat bread crumbs that are burned totally black and that have been burning in an old brick bread oven for weeks?
That's the proverbial 'cake', not a nice "Black Forest Chocolate Cake" that comes to the modern mind.
Benghazi could put Hillary on top though...
Never put it past the Clintons... they hate Obama more than you or I.
Thank you, I was aware . . . "I like cake" is an internet meme that basically says, "ok, whatever."
At this point, between television and the groveling Republican party, I believe the Democrats could elect Donald Duck if they wanted to, and they could do it tomorrow.
First, Marie Antoinette never said "Let them eat cake"
Second, "in the original French the alleged quote reads, "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche," which means, literally, "Let them eat rich, expensive, funny-shaped, yellow, eggy buns."http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/dubiousquotes/a/antoinette.htm
Democrat: The Old White Woman Party
AIDS is devouring him. I think eventually the cocktail will fail and the end will come quick.
As bad as that would be, she'd be less destructive than hussein.
So let me see if I have this straight. We've got
Obama - Happy (aka Gay)
Biden - Dopey
Boehner - Bashful
Hillary - Grumpy
Where's Sleepy?
Ruth Bader Ginsburg - Sleepy
The Secretary of State is acting President during the forty five seconds or so that it takes the President elect to be sworn in after the expiration of the prior term, at noon, January 20, 2013. There is a good thriller waiting to written about the SOS who signs an executive order, or pardon, during those seconds.
The Secretary of State is acting President during the forty five seconds or so that it takes the President elect to be sworn in after the expiration of the prior term, at noon, January 20, 2013. There is a good thriller waiting to written about the SOS who signs an executive order, or pardon, during those seconds.
As Shakespeare's noble lady laments, "Here's the smell of the blood still: all the perfumes of Araby will not sweeten these little hands, oh, oh, oh".
The GOP needs to get with it.
Support AMERICAN workers, and win back the votes they have lost.
Now is the time. What else will they do?
(frankly nothing)
How about it, GOP?
Not quite. There is a vacancy in the Presidency and Vice-Presidency between noon, January 20, 2013, and when the oaths are taken. The Speaker, and Senate President, are the next two in line, but they have to resign from Congress, and take the oath as President, before they become President. So before somebody ahead of the SOS is sworn in, the SOS executes the office of the Presidency.
I'm not big on parlor games, but what if...
Akin keeps his mouth shut, Romney loses by less, but the Republicans pick up Senate seats in MO, IN, ND and somewhere. On January 19, 2013, the Republican Congress passes,and sends to BO a bill repealing Obamacare. BO announces that vetoing it will be the first act of his second term.
Speaker Boehner, at exactly noon, the next day, rapidly signs a document that says "There being a vacancy in the offices of President and Vice-President, I resign as Speaker of the House and Member of Congress, in order to take the oath as President." Boehner hands it to the Clerk of the House, who immediately time and date stamps it, and an auctioneer, who is also a Notary Public for the District of Columbia, rattles off the oath of office as President, Boehner says "I do" and then signs a document giving his approval, as President, of the bill repealing Obamacare, and just for the hell of it, an Executive Order firing all of BO's Cabinet Officers. Then the Chief Justice finishes administering the oath to BO, who begins his second term.
There would probably be the greatest constitutional crisis since the Hayes-Tilden election of 1876. But...
I think Obamacare would be repealed,and BO would have to renominate all of his cabinet officers.
"Like Lady MacBeth, Hillary can forever wash her hands, crying, "Out, out damned spots". But the ghosts of the four slain Americans in Bengahzi will forever haunt and follow her.
As Shakespeare's noble lady laments, "Here's the smell of the blood still: all the perfumes of Araby will not sweeten these little hands, oh, oh, oh"."
Good analogy.

MOBILE, Ala. – Mississippi State found its rhythm again Tuesday night.
The 17th-ranked Bulldogs put the cap on a road swing full of some near-misses with a hard-fought 6-4 win over South Alabama in a college baseball contest played at Stanky Field.
MSU finished the road swing with a modest 2-2 mark after a disappointing Southeastern Conference series loss at Arkansas over the weekend.
The Bulldogs (24-8) secured victory Tuesday night when Wes Rea connected for a game-winning two-run single in the top half of the ninth inning.
Perhaps the story of the night was the quality start from Brandon Woodruff. Battling back from injury, the sophomore right-hander allowed three hits and one run (earned) in six innings of work. Woodruff struck out four and walked none.
"Woodruff's pitching was the highlight of the night," MSU head coach John Cohen said. "He challenged the hitters and kept it in the strike zone."
The Bulldogs erased an early 1-0 deficit with a single score in the fourth inning, two scores in the fifth inning and a single score in the sixth inning.
MSU tied the contest at 1-all on a balk call in the fourth inning. A Hunter Renfroe double started the big fifth inning. A wild pitch scored one run, while an RBI-groundout by Brett Pirtle scored the other. Another USA error scored the game's fourth run for the Bulldogs in the sixth inning.
"We hit a lot of balls pretty well," Cohen said. "And Rea came through with a big at-bat. The show of MSU fans from the coast was impressive. The players and the staff appreciate the great support we have from the coast area."
USA strung together a game-tying three-run seventh inning, thanks in large part to three MSU errors. Myles Gentry started the inning but quickly gave way to eventual winning pitcher Chad Girodo (3-1). Jonathan Holder worked a 1-2-3 ninth inning for his eighth save.
