Somatoform disorders comprise a heterogeneous group of psychiatric illnesses in which physical symptoms or complaints without objective organic causes are present and in which there are strongly associated psychological factors. The seven somatoform disorders listed in DSM-IV-TR (American Psychiatric Association 2000) are 1) somatization disorder, 2) undifferentiated somatoform disorder, 3) hypochondriasis, 4) conversion disorder, 5) pain disorder, 6) body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), and 7) somatoform disorder not otherwise specified. Prevalence rates vary by diagnosis, but in general, across ages, somatoform disorders and their less severe variants have been seen in 16% of primary care outpatients (DeWaal et al. 2004) and in 23% of outpatients with medically unexplained symptoms (Smith et al. 2005).

I guess the polished granite stand must be really expensive to produce, the rest of it certainly isn't value for money.
Falcon Northwest Proves Micro Desktops Don't Have to Cut Corners
If you're after a powerful gaming PC in a small form factor, you should seriously consider the Tiki from Falcon Northwest.
The slim gaming PC entered puberty earlier this year with Alienware's diminutive X51, which for all its accomplishments in the size department, demonstrated lackluster performance. Now, there's a new kid on the block: Falcon Northwest's Tiki--a boutique, micro-desktop, that doesn't need to sacrifice power in order to maintain a small footprint. The tradeoff is the price tag; the Tiki starts at $1,545, though a typically above average config hovers just over $2,000. This may be more than most gamers are willing to spend. If form factor and good-looks aren't critical requirements, you could build a PC with off the shelf parts that's cheaper and more powerful than the best Tiki config. but it's not meant to be compared to such builds. When good-looks and performance outweigh trivial considerations, like a budget, the Tiki stands atop its pedestal of granite (not an exaggeration), looking down upon the relative big-uglies of the competition.
Falcon Northwest supplied GameSpot with a slightly better than average review build that clocks in at $2,046. It doesn't pack the company's best available CPU or GPU, but it's still a powerhouse of a gaming PC that features an NVIDIA 670 GTX, 3rd generation Intel Core i5 clocked at 3.40 GHz, 8 GB of 1866MHz RAM, liquid cooling, and a 256 GB SSD. An internal 450w PSU supplies the juice, seriously one-upping the X51's external power brick. For all the sacrifices Alienware made for the X51, it's doubly impressive Falcon Northwest was able to wrangle the PSU within the already stuffed chassis, leaving plenty of room for a full, dual-slot, graphics card.
The Tiki is small, no doubt, measuring just a hair larger than the X51. Measurements for the two are as follows:
Such minor differences are largely negligible. In terms of raw power, the Tiki smokes Alienware's beefiest kit, but again, it comes with a higher price tag. Like all manufacturers, prices fluctuate with the market, integrating price drops and increasing their selection of available parts as they become available.
Tiki: Cheapest Gaming Config | Intel Core i5 3450K 3.1GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 (2GB) | Tactical 1866MHz 8GB (2x4GB) | Caviar Green 2TB | Slot-Load DVD Writer | $1,545 |
Tiki: Review Config | Intel Core i5 3570K 3.4GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 (2GB) | Tactical 1866MHz 8GB (2x4GB) | m4 SSD 256GB | Slot-Load DVD Writer | $2,045 |
Tiki: High-End Gaming Config | Intel Core i7 3770K 3.5GHz | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 (4GB) | Tactical 1866MHz 16GB (2x8GB) | m4 SSD 128GB + Caviar Green 2TB | Slot-Load Blu-ray Reader | $2,753 |
The Tiki is quite heavy, but more accurately, compact and sturdy. The case is comprised primarily of steel, and in case you haven't noticed, the base is a solid block of granite. At first glance, it's an odd marriage of materials, but it ultimately works. In addition to completing the showpiece aesthetic, it prevents the top heavy case from tipping over. Of course, should you find it not to your liking, four Phillips-head screws are all that stand in your way from removing it completely.
With so many beefy components under the hood and so little room for airflow, water-cooling is a crucial component to the Tiki's technical success. While NVIDIA graced us with a cooler GPU solution this generation, Intel's Ivybridge chips produce noticeably higher temps than its predecessors. This is even more so when the machine is overclocked, a service Falcon offers for free, and one you should take advantage of. At full load, overclocked to 4.3 GHz (during Turbo boosts), the CPU temps topped out at a respectable 56 Celsius. Running the Far Cry 2 benchmarking tool topped the GPU out at 73 Celsius, which is well within the realm of viability. Under full load, the radiator fan spun up to an audible level. Still, in most circumstances, the Tiki is practically silent, only occasionally emitting the near-silent gurgle of the water pump.
GameSpot's review unit came with a solo SSD hard drive and a slot-loading optical drive. Amazingly, there's room for one additional 2.5" and 3.5" drive, respectively. The 3.5" bay is readily accessible; when you open the case, the bay and screw mounts are front and (more or less) center. It'll take a little extra leg work to mount a second 2.5" drive; you need to undo five screws, disconnect SATA and power cables from all present drives (including optical), and finally, dettach the large mounting plate. Once removed, simply secure the new drive with the appropriate mounting screws and reverse the disassembly procedure.
Upgrading or switching out RAM sticks is finicky and, frankly, a potentially stressful experience. The ASUS P8Z77-I Deluxe ITX board utilizes a single retention mechanism for its DIMM slots and while it's easy to release the retainer, sticks don't simply slide out. The nearby components and cramped space surrounding the RAM make it difficult to get a firm grip on the non-retained end of the stick, and since it doesn't just pop right out, we refrained from pursuing its removal any further.
The front of the case is void of any inputs, simply featuring a rear-illuminated cut-out of Falcon Northwest's logo. On top of the case are two USB 3.0 ports, headphone and mic ports, the slot-loading optical drive, and the power and reset buttons. Towards the back is a passive vent, situated above the GPU, complimenting additional vents on each side.
There are a total of eight USB ports on the back, half of which are USB 3.0, and 2 eSATA ports, rounding out storage connectivity. Network and wireless communications are handled via ethernet, WiFi, and Bluetooth. The motherboard' s onboard video supports HDMI, Display Port, and DVI-I, while audio is carried over stereo TRS (3.5mm) line-out, or via SPDIF (optical), capable of 5.1 channel surround sound. The GTX 670, obviously, comes with its own array of video-out ports: HDMI, Display Port, DVI-I, and a DVI-D port.
In the case that you ever run into software issues and wish to reset back to factory settings, Falcon Northwest kindly includes a USB stick that will wipe and restore your boot drive back to factory settings. Other pack-ins include a leather case chock full of useful, although obligatory, goodies: a power cable, two SATA data cables, two wireless antennas, a DVI to VGA adapter, a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium, and documentation detailing your individual rig, including test results, parts lists, and the motherboard handbook.

What kind of solexes?Fueling.
the FAQ states that the Carter rotary pump is a good choice but in any builds and threads i find with solex carbs it seems people like to use aftermarket pumps with a regulator set around 10PSI. the carter pump is around 4psi. will the carter pump be a solid choice and the higher pressure in other systems are to over come the lack of volume?
Most recommend 2.75 to 4.5 for the mikuni which is solex. at 10psi, you will blow every seal out.
No carb I know of takes 10. 3psi will work in all but the most outrageous race engines.
Pull the factory pump. Your rabbit has only one pump outside the tank. It runs at 80psi. Needs to go. Wire your new pump anyway you like. Relay or straight switch, as long as you remember to shut it of. Stock wiring will work.as far as the factory pump goes just bypass it all, leave the intake pump operational, and run a relay to the new pump? (mostly because the factory wiring is pretty hacked on this car)
Inline low pressure filter, pre regulator in engine compartment. Cheap.for a filter can just any type of inline universal filter be used? just cap the return
stock ignition will work, but as you note, there will be no advance because you will lack port vacuum. Msd timing computer(8980?) to a 6al box combined with the stock icu, or one of their newer offerings(features combined into one unit) will do the trick.ignition.
right now factory distributer is in place, with a MSD blaster coil. will this be enough or should after market ignition be installed? as far as the factory vacuum advance goes I've heard on duel draft setups you cant run vacuum advance.
Ha! Get everything else set up and re-read the FAQ's and then come back. Get the book for the carbs you have.tuning.
yea, no clue. there is a local guy who is known for tuning air cooled's. so we will try to see how he can help us out. but id like to have the car ready to go before taking it to some one. but just for the sake of is what are some good links to read up on?
the carbs came off of a running 8v. they are compel with everything. so what are the chances that damage will happen if we do try and fire it and mess with it our selves?
good luck.

2) i would go with what the manufacturer says -- if they reckon 2.17 is the latest driver, then that's the one you post a link to. I am on a mission but this mission isn't to give everyone the very latest driver, its to simply get the hardware to work.
I don't recall 98SE finding a native driver for this graphics card, but it's been a while since I installed 98SE. I bought the card around 1999-2000, so it may be newer than 98SE, but not by much. <g>
It seems they don't have 2.17 on the ASUS site any more, or if it is there I'm not able to find it. However, I did find 6.31c and 31.40H, so I will test what they have, and post my results with a link (probably tomorrow).

i track consumer prices. i am the nyc food critic for bloomberg news. i am ryan sutton.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Reuters finance blogger Felix Salmon comes to that conclusion (among others) as part of his fine analysis of San Pellegrino's annual list of the "World's 50 Best Restaurants," an analysis that involves graphing menu prices against relative placement on the list.
Salmon's assertion, however, depends on the following tacit assumption: that the quality of food and service measurably improves as one moves from number 50 on the list to number 1. That's not something we agree with here at The Price Hike (and when we say "we", that usually means Ryan Sutton, because Sutton thinks he sounds more authoritative in the first person plural).
No one would dispute that San Pellegrino's list is a fine collection of places to eat, and that the venues included — Noma, Daniel, Per Se, are among the world's best places to eat. But is, let's say, Eleven Madison Park ($195) necessarily a higher quality spot than Alinea ($210-$265) because the former is ranked number five and the latter is ranked number fifteen?
And since Eleven Madison Park is cheaper than the lower-ranking Alinea, can these data points, individually or collectively, be used to argue that price and quality aren't correlated?
Maybe not.
Not really a biggie, but for those who keep track of such minutae, considered your yourselves au courant. The REAL COST of a four-course meal at Marea, after tax and tip, but before wine, is now $255 for two, or $510 for four. That said, we've always believed the best way to experience this two-Michelin-starred spot is by sitting at the bar and going a la carte: share a few crudi, a few pastas, some wine, and the brodetto di pesce. Do that, and you'll eat well for a few dollars less. We're still calling this joint a STRONG BUY.
ALSO: The four-course menu was $89 when Marea first opened in 2009, so all things considered, only $10 bucks spendier four years later. Not too bad.
This week I review Carbone in my Blooomberg column, awarding 3.5 stars to the high-end red sauce joint in Manhattan's Greenwich Village. It isn't just one of our city's best new restaurants, it's one of Manhattan's best seafood spots, period.
Carbone's cuisine is the cuisine I ate while growing up on Long Island, at cheap seafood shacks and affordable Italian-American restaurants. Except Carbone isn't cheap, or affordable, not by Italian-American standards, and not by New York standards. Dinner for two, after wine, tax and tip, can easily cost $350-$400 for two, almost as much as dinner at Jean-Georges.
Saison's set dinner menu is currently $298 per person, up from $198 around this time last year. Wine, tax and tip are extra. Is it worth it? Skenes gives us some thoughtful insights in the question of value over at The Bad Deal.

Sharks announcers diss Vancouver Green Men
Vancouver's Green Men are some of the most famous hockey fans in the world. Their entertaining antics the past few seasons have drawn attention on both sides of the border as the Canucks have made multiple deep runs in the postseason. But two men are not fans of the Vancouver Green Men and their playful banter - Sharks announcers Drew Remenda and Randy Hahn.
During last night's Sharks-Canucks playoff game, the visiting announcers had a super cool, super original way to make fun of them... by basically throwing every insult blockheaded people throw at bloggers. Via Puck Daddy...

Human Rights Day Honored in AnchorageDec. 10 marks the anniversary of the U.N.'s Declaration of Human RightsANCHORAGE - December 10 may have been just another Monday for most Alaskans, but 64 years ago December 10 was a day that changed the lives of people across the globe. The United Nations (U.N.) adopted the Declaration of Human Rights on December 10, 1948, and December 10 has been Human Rights Day worldwide since 1950. "Everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law," said Robert Gregory, as he read the first part of Article 6 of the declaration. The declaration was adopted in the wake of World War II, the deadliest war the world has ever seen. Genocide killed millions and the declaration was an attempt to stop it from happening again. But, Karen Furguson from Catholic Social Services said genocide is still very real around the world, in places like Bhutan. "It started like World War II," said Ferguson, who heads the state's refugee program. "First they were just difficult to employ, then they were not allowed to be employed, then they were stripped of citizenship, but allowed to stay. Then their children were not allowed to go in schools. Eventually all of their property was taken away from them and then eventually forces would come and burn down villages." She paused, and then continued, "They watched their homes burn to the ground." Ferguson said it's just one example of a country that ignored the Declaration of Human rights. "Most people think of Bhutan as this gorgeous place to go for tourism, and I am sure it is, but part of the way the country got so uniform was by a very planned campaign against the people who didn't fit it." The campaign was supposed to "ethnically cleanse" the country. It forced thousands to flee to Nepal. National genocides in countries like Bhutan, Germany, Cambodia and Jordan have brought millions to the United States and continue to bring about 120 people to Alaska every year. "No one flees their country saying, 'this is a great way to get to Alaska,'" said Ferguson. "They flee their country because they want safety, and then they want to return home." But few return home. Some may leave because they are being persecuted for their race, religion, political views, but others leave because they live in the middle of a war zone. "Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person," said Susan Verty, reading Article 3 of the declaration. And only one in 500 will get absorbed by one of the countries willing to take them in. "All human beings are born free in dignity and rights," said Dave Harrington, reading the first article of the declaration. "They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in spirit of brotherhood." Most refugees spend years in camps before going home or being relocated. Ferguson said that leaves thousands across the world without hope for a future.

Wanna check out Tesla's new Model S sedan? Don't go looking for a dealership along some suburban highway. You won't find one. Instead, try your local shopping mall.
If you're wondering who goes to a mall to buy a car, the answer is "nobody." At least not yet.
And that's the point, says George Blankenship, who formerly helped create Apple's chain of retail stores and who is now leading Tesla's sales strategy.
"We want to engage with people when they're not thinking about buying a car," he said.
At the mall, shoppers' defenses aren't up, he said, and they're more willing to listen and ask questions. Customers are invited to mill about, open doors, put their kids inside the cars and take pictures.
Tesla's mall stores differ from traditional auto dealerships in a number of other ways, too. For one, you won't be able to haggle over the price.
The salespeople themselves won't be typical auto salespeople, either. They won't be paid on commission and most of them won't have prior experience selling cars, Blankenship said.
"The people in our stores are more likely to be from Nordstrom's than from a car dealer," he said.
Compared to ordinary car dealerships, the Tesla stores are tiny -- just big enough to fit a couple of display models -- since there will be no inventory kept there.
Tesla doesn't need inventory because it operates on a build-to-order basis. Once ordered, the car is built and then delivered directly to the customer. Test drive cars will be kept, charged and ready to go, out in mall parking areas.

An Upstate student teacher is accused of sending sexual texts to and repeatedly calling a 15-year-old student.
Benjamin Dylan Arthur, 26, is charged with criminal solicitation of a minor.
According to an arrest warrant, Arthur solicited a 15-year-old student by texting her and asking her to participate in sexual activities.
Spartanburg Public Safety Capt. Regina Nowak said, "The message was very explicit. It wasn't like you were reading between the lines trying to figure out what he was getting at."
Arthur is also accused of sending the student a picture of himself without a shirt on. The victim said he also called her phone repeatedly.
Spartanburg police say Arthur is a student at USC Upstate, where he is seeking a teaching degree.
Police say Arthur met the victim while he was a student teacher at Spartanburg High Freshman Academy. The victim said she did not give Arthur her phone number. She said he got it from the roster.
The incident report says Arthur and the victim started talking through text messages about school and it escalated to sexual messages.
According to police, a friend of the girl called them after she told her about the text messages.
Police said when they contacted Arthur about the case, he agreed to meet them at City Hall to discuss the allegations.


text: Shungite stone has the highest ecological features. That is why; produced only in Karelia, this stone is widely known in all developed countries around the world. Because of its unusual carbon composition, it is a strong absorber (adsorbent) of heavy metals, toxins, pesticides and radionuclides. This is proven by the leading laboratories in the Soviet Union. In other countries, these research results were also confirmed. Shungite tiles that are 1 cm to 3 cm thick are ideal for interior decor. They look gorgeous and unlike tiles made of other materials, they have very beneficial effect on the human body. The tenants sleep better, feel more vigorous and healthy in the rooms, decorated with shungite tiles. Due to the fact that shungite protects the premises from radiation of household appliances (phones, computers, televisions, microwave ovens), it improves psychological and physical condition of the person. Adults feel rejuvenated, and children rarely get sick and perform better at school. Even a single visit to a schungite room at a resorts or SPA is very effective. Below is an example of a shungite room, decorated by various kinds of schungite tiles.

A Great Bed at the Best Price!

About Me Midrange Shopper
Comments about Prepac Sonoma Black Bookcase Platform Storage Bed with Headboard:
* Am working away from home, living in small rental. This is my bed.* Great space saver, excellent design, looks like the photos.* Love the headboard and storage shelves. I have my alarm clock/radio, books, flashlight, etc. Also gives the bed a completed look. Would not like the bed without the headboard. Instead of end tables for lamps, bought a couple of clip lights from [...] ($10) that clip onto either side of the headboard top.[...] Sturdy and heavy.* Drawers are spacious and slide in and out very easily. Didn't need any additional drawers.* Fairly easy to assemble, directions are clear if you read them over once and then again as you go. I had a guy friend do most of the assembly because the pieces are awkward and unwieldy and he was able to do it in about 4.5 hours.* Bought the queen set and I purchased a separate queen sized mattress (no box) for bed.* Bed came with all the hardware except by the end I was short 4 of the small locking cams for a drawer, and had 4 extra large cams left over. Probably my fault in that it's possible we used 4 of the smaller ones in the bed frame. Called and they sent out extra smaller locking cams so I could finish the last drawer. (Sent more than I requested -- no charge).*BIGGEST PROBLEM and I've read various accounts of this: The Slats. All the slats came but they're all just a hair off in length from each other and cause the bed to be less sturdy. Every few weeks I jam them back into their track and some are just too short. Sitting on the end of the bed is not possible as your weight will push the slats out of their track.* While this bed is perfect for my needs, I would not recommend it for two people or other nocturnal activities. It won't survive a lot of movement or thrashing about.* Note: Did not buy the end tables because I read in a review that the drawers closest to the headboard will be blocked. And I didn't need them.

Great bed for the price
By Eggy
from Edgewood, MD
The bed took a while to put together, but the instructions were easy to follow. Would have been much quicker with a second person, probably half the time, but she was stuck at work, so I took care of it myself. The bed is very sturdy, not getting any noises out of it, and it seems to be very durable. Made out of MDF, so if you are taking it up a flight of stairs remember that each box is between 60 and 70 pounds. I've seen more expensive beds that didn't appear as strong, and I've seen cheaper beds that are similar at a known Scandinavian company's showroom, but they also appear to be cheaper in quality than this bed. Not knocking that other company, just comparing the beds.
Love this bed!!
By EZ
from Southern California
I use this product in my bedroom & I absolutely love it! It provides me with way more room in my bedroom now that I'm able to hide things away in the drawers. And I love the bookshelf headboard, it's convenient for anything I need close by. Has a great look and very functional. I'm very happy with my purchase & recommend it to all!

I had gastric bypass surgery about 5 years ago. Now I am about to start treatment for colon cancer with chemo. I am really worried about how to manage nutrition with this combination. Any advice appreciated!
Katrina Claghorn, Registered Dietician at Penn Medicine, responds:
Managing your nutritional status during treatment may be a little challenging. You should meet with the Registered Dietitian on your medical team for support. You need to know what your nutritional needs are so you have a goal to work towards. You may need to adjust your diet to include more refined foods and calorie dense foods, which are the exact opposite of what you have been taught to eat after gastric bypass surgery, since these foods are generally better tolerated if you experience diarrhea and/or nausea. Small, frequent meals and snacks seem to work best and are best tolerated. And also, it is critical that you take your medications as directed to control the side effects so that you will be able to continue to eat.

He was a great drummer but nobody takes him seriously anymore which is sad but true
I Love Karin Sixx
Great drummer? He was bloody useless, he once said one of the ways he kept in time was by watching Slash's foot.Awesome guy though.
whatever, I still think the original 5 members group is the most classic
i think Adler still does drugs, i saw him on one video, he is the second ozzy, the same kind, wasted by drugs...never liked him....even if he is clean, what i doubt, he is useless......

"Would you care if he loved Fox News, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh?" one Twitter user asked. "My guess is you would, hypocrite."
And: "Entire MSM would feed on this if it were linked to any right-wing cause."
Oh, and someone said I was "a sick, twisted freak and a liar" for saying that Scarborough, the former Republican congressman turned MSNBC host, is a conservative.
Some blatantly promoted the notion of payback: "You guys smeared Palin over Tucson. Now it's your turn to be linked to a murderous madman. Only this time the link's legit."
In other words, if Dorner admired some liberal media figures, they're somehow to blame for inspiring the murders.
Now it's true that some on the left tried to tar Palin when Jared Loughner opened fire in a Phoenix shopping center, killing six people and wounding Gabby Giffords. Palin's team had posted a map with crosshair targets representing Democratic lawmakers, including Giffords, that she was singling out for defeat in the 2010 midterms.
On the day of the shooting, I wrote on The Daily Beast: "This isn't about a nearly year-old Sarah Palin map; it's about a lone nutjob who doesn't value human life." The use of the crosshairs imagery was dumb, I said, but there was no place for a "sickening ritual of guilt by association."
And the same goes for the case o fChristopher Dorner. The man is accused of killing a police officer and a couple in a parking lot. What possible difference does it make which journalists and politicians he likes or loathes?
The Giffords shooting sparked an important discussion about the need to tone down incendiary rhetoric, but that's a far cry from accusing people of complicity in crime.
There is also the question of whether the manifesto should have been published.

Hate Them
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the truest of them all? Why it's Darkthrone of course. I mean these guys are so black metal that they have a song on the new album called "Ytterest I Livet" which, if my Norwegian skills serve me correctly, translates to extreme in life. And then there's the song "Det Svartner Nå" meaning its blacker now. Come on, you can't get titles much more black metal than that. These Norwegian extreme metalers have been keeping things evil since 1987 and now more than 15 years later, they release their 11th full length album, Hate Them. One thing Darkthrone has always been about is that music should not progress and it holds true (no pun intended) with each album. The lords of all that is grim have continued to supply their menacing sound to the underground corpse paint covered masses for the last decade and a half, not to mention spawning numerous copy cat bands around the world. My guess is that most Darkthrone fans will buy this no matter what I say, simply because it is Darkthrone, the kings of all that is necro. None-the-less we shall commence forth with the dissection for those of you unsure about this "kvlt" classic band. As expected, Hate Them is filled with mid-paced thrash style black metal. The guitar riffs will jump occasionally to some slower almost break down style riffs and the occasional shredding riffs to change things up a bit. The bass pretty much doesn't exist, which is fine because then the album wouldn't be quite as true. The drums speed along with blast beats galore and some galloping beats also. Fenriz's vokills are as gravely and evil as ever encompassing the listener in black.
If you're coming into this release with expectations of good production just put a bullet between your eyes now because you obviously know nothing about being "true". The production on Hate Them just screams grimness with fuzzy, grainy guitars and a bass drum that is begging to be heard through the wall of noise. Obviously the production isn't quite as crappy as some of Darkthrone's previous releases, but it is rough around the edges all the same. If you love grim black metal I have no doubt this is already on your wish list. This outing is better than their last album, Plaguewielder, but is no Transylvanian Hunger. If you're a casual Darkthrone fan I recommend looking into it because it is a decent listen. For those of you looking for a new black metal release that doesn't sound like it's straight out of 1993, you are best advised to look elsewhere.

Where Was God?Question hangs for some after school massacreANCHORAGE - It's a central tenet of the Christian faith that this is a fallen world, in which rebellion against God has allowed evil to affect our lives. Still, with something this big and dark, some are no doubt asking, where was God this morning? "People tend to forget Bethel, and [the] Bethel shooting," said police Chaplain Bert McQueen. "Commonplace, they refer to Columbine as the school shooting that kind of started a lot of this nationwide. Bethel was before that." "Yeah, and you know we're all concerned about it maybe happening right here," said Reverend Jerry Prevo of Anchorage Baptist Temple. "I know we are here at our school are thinking about what can we further do to protect our students." "Even though it happened thousands of miles away, it feels like it could happen right here in our city, in our home, with our families or friends," said Reverend Richard Irwin of Anchorage City Church. As to why this happened, the ministers say it's a result of humanity's fallen nature. "I can't come back and answer for God," Irwin said. "God has to speak for himself in these things. But i do have confidence in him, that if we pray, he hears us when we pray." Irwin says this is a time for people to reach out to each other and to ministers and mental health professionals. It happened on the opposite coast, but we're feeling it here. You have indicated this comment should be removed.said on Friday, Dec 14 at 9:29 PM This is a horrible thing, and trying to explain it with some sort of god or religion is a natural human defense mechanism. It makes us feel better if we think there is some "plan" or it's "mankind's refusal to accept god". It doesn't make any of those things real though. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Friday, Dec 14 at 9:31 PM prevo is a scammer hustler living off the fear of god. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Friday, Dec 14 at 10:10 PM Where was God? Not in the school--it's against the law for God to be in public schools. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Friday, Dec 14 at 10:15 PM God doesn't orchestrate every one of our daily movements or circumstances. Folks need to understand that there are very bad , demented people out there. Hardly any way to protect against this type of situation , as sad as that is. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Saturday, Dec 15 at 12:00 AM Well most people do not acknowledge God to begin with. So when tragedy happens they ask Where is or where was God? So now people look for God and blame Him when something like this happens,WHY? You all should be seeking Him on a daily basis not just in tragic times. And besides where God is not welcome He does not go, School for an example..... Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Saturday, Dec 15 at 12:33 AM He will be here on 12-21 .... Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Saturday, Dec 15 at 10:10 AM The actions of Adam, 20-year-old shooter, is the result of demonic infestation of evil spirits of murder, rage, hate and mayhem. There is no way anybody can do what he did, without being possessed by evil entities. He needed the Lord, and several exorcisms. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Saturday, Dec 15 at 2:34 PM Do we really want to believe that because of some people's refusal to accept God as God that he(God)would let loose the terrors of his wrath upon innocent children through a mentally deranged young man? I believe in God but not in this type of doctrine. I also believe we in this country are extremely lacking in the field of mental health issues. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Saturday, Dec 15 at 2:52 PM Karen- The bible has several examples of god unleashing his wrath with the result of children being murdered. A friend of mine, who is very religious and studies the bible incessantly, says quite frankly that 'god is an evil bast*rd'. As a Freethinker, I always find it so odd when people will say 'god spared xyz', for example when 2 planes collided a couple years ago, and both pilots managed to land safely. The news article talked about how 'god must have been guiding them'. So then, WHY would a supposedly loving god not protect these innocent children? I don't buy the 'he needed angels' nonsense, nor do I accept the tired 'some things are a mystery', or 'we aren't meant to understand' or 'we need faith to accept his will'. It's all BS to keep people slaves to the church. If the god of the bible is indeed real, then he has no compassion for anyone, and is a very capricious deity. Certainly one I would have no interest in worshipping. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Saturday, Dec 15 at 7:50 PM GOD IS EVERYWHERE and allows things to happen according to His perfect will. If we are to point fingers... perhaps begin with MAIN STREAM TELEVISION MEDIAS and the VIOLENT MURDERS and bloody scenes shown daily on television shows and also movie sales and rentals, in plain sight of our children! Then fully investigate the use and over medication of a huge number of young people (many different ages) by P$YCH MEDICATION$ that are being forced and pushed on society, especially up here in Alaska but it is everywhere in America. DON'T BLAME GUNS and certainly DO NOT BLAME GOD! Our nation has fallen away from God and this is the result. Jesus preached daily: REPENT! FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS NEAR! 2 Chronicles 7:14. The children in this incident are in Heaven. I am sorry for our nation and especially for the grieving families involved. SHALOM. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Saturday, Dec 15 at 9:43 PM For those of you that believe the kingdom of heaven is near, can I have your car? My car is terrible in the winter and I need a 2nd one for the winter. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Saturday, Dec 15 at 9:47 PM The God that is able to prevent evil but unwilling is not one worthy of worship and adulation. The God that is willing to prevent evil but unable is no god at all. The God that is willing to prevent evil and able to prevent evil and chooses not to is the ultimate evil itself. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Saturday, Dec 15 at 10:09 PM They say that during the Holocaust, many of the victims either forsaken God or embraced Him with full righteous. Testimonies of German guards often talked about doomed families facing upward toward the skies as if that is where they are headed while others went silently in despair. Of course, the survivors would often asked, "How did God allowed so many millions to be butchered?" That question is often debated even among church people as well. Well, maybe we can asked the Almighty when our time come, eh? If there isn't one, oh well, we died in ignorance. Al the same in the end. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Sunday, Dec 16 at 3:51 AM Don't bring God into this. It's not his fault that there is all this evil in the world, it's mans fault. When Adam and Eve ate from the tree of knowledge it brought sin and death in the world! All God did was tell them not to eat it. You people make me sick. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Sunday, Dec 16 at 9:27 AM So god made flawed human beings, then punishes them for being flawed? These are the morals you hold? Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Monday, Dec 17 at 12:49 AM If there was a "god" it would have to be female, and a mother would never permit tho atrocity to occur and she certainly would not have permitted the second amendment! Ergo, there is no "god"... Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Monday, Dec 17 at 1:05 AM Prevo is the last one who should preach about not following God's ways. The ABT is a striking example of materialism and has been all of the 37 years I have been up here. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Monday, Dec 17 at 10:59 AM This horrible thing must break Gods heart, to see his children doing such bad things. With man having free will & us allowing God to be taken out of the schools & almost every where public, what can we expect. The media & Hollywood have been DESENSITIZING us for years; our children see murders, gangs, gun fights, violence against women & children all the time. We Christian's should look at this as yet another wake up call to starting praying in one accord & standing what we know to be right. He that is in me is stronger than he that is in the world. There is no simple answer for this senseless act, I pray for all families affected by this tragedy. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Monday, Dec 17 at 7:14 PM God wiped out entire races of innocent people and populations at the blink of an eye, I don't think this breaks her heart too much. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Monday, Dec 17 at 7:16 PM And I agree with the power of prayer. Just this weekend I put a slip of paper in a letter that was requesting money for a christian organization. I wrote on the paper: "Prayer, it's BETTER than money!". Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Thursday, Dec 20 at 5:43 PM has it occurred to anyone the reason for this is humanity throwing a wrench in the gears...instead of just letting it "happen" in life...we torque it...so if you expect me to feel sorry for you don't because I won't...humanity brought this on themselves...if they had NOT interfered EACH time something was to come to pass...we wouldn't even be dealing with someone killing people...

This is kind of a random question, but how easy is it to be raw and organic in New Jersey / New York City area compared to other states? Here in west Michigan, it's fairly challenging, as we can't grow our own food in the winter (which, here, is like 5 months of being too cold to grow stuff), and the stores near us don't have a whole lot of organic options. It's getting better, but still challenging. Also, there's a lot of corn and soy fields around us (like a LOT) and I wonder how much of it is GMO (genetically modified). A local school district just got a $10,000 grant from Monsanto, so if they're not already growing lots of crap around here, I'm sure they've got something planned. How much of that is there in the Jersey/ New York area, too? I saw a flyer from last year that listed the organic farms and organic restaurants in New Jersey, and there was quite a lot, especially for such a small state! I want to move, and am just curiously checking out other areas to see how easy it'd be for me to live in different cities.
(And by the way, which area of Jersey is the best for organic stuff? It sounded like southern NJ had the most farms, but I don't really know anything about that area.)

Many prominent Birmingham women trace their early education to classrooms at Brooke Hill School for girls. Founded in 1940, it merged with Birmingham University School in 1975 to create The Altamont School. Some of those prominent ladies received the Brook Hill Cup, highest student honor for being selected The Brooke Hill Girl. This honored tradition dates back to the first class in1941. Since 1995 The Altamont School annually recognizes a Distinguished Alumna for her outstanding service to school and community. Other alumnae are recognized for achievements in college, business, or civic service.
Kacy Ireland Mitchell, the first of three daughters of Mallie and Glenn Ireland, relished her years at Brooke Hill. She recalled, "The teachers and environment of Brooke Hill nourished me and built a love of learning as well as comfort in art, music, dance, and sports. I guess I blossomed in the family environment and the competitive nature provided there."
Coming from an athletic family with William Moughon and Bill Ireland as accomplished golfers and Glenn excelling on the diving board and tennis courts, Kacy naturally played every sport and was on varsity teams. Her sister Nonie became a state tennis champion, and the family enjoys tournament golf. At Brooke Hill, "Go Greens" was the cheer for half the school while the other half pulled for the White Team. Students competed in sports, scholarship points for the "A" and "B" honor rolls, and for service project points at the Red Cross or at after school activities. Kacy remembered "the wild roar at my graduation in 1969 when my Green Team won the Team Cup, an accomplishment we worked on all year!"
Kacy attributes her love of music to membership in the Glee Club, practicing with Choral Director Andrew Gainey, and being selected into the Concert Choir. Limited in number, the Concert Choir sang throughout the city and state, wore uniforms, and was under the tutelage of Mrs. George Lynch. Kacy summarized, "My younger sister Mallie is known today for her beautiful voice and music ministry. For a number of years, my husband and I were part of a contemporary church music service. We grew up in a musical family at home which was reinforced at school."
According to Kacy, her parents' positive Christian philosophy of service and philanthropy was a learned behavior for each of the siblings. "They were fine role models, and we still value their ideas and continue our closeness. We have all been active with our Christian faith wherever we lived," she confirmed.
Just as the Irelands opened their homes to friends for celebrations and for family functions, Kacy has utilized her grandmother Kitty's "glass house" for entertaining in a grand manner. For an Altamont Distinguished Alumni dinner, she transformed the wide foyer where her dinning room table was the focal point into a rustic Country French setting with large cheese wheels, burlap sacks of nuts, fresh bread in long baguettes tied together with bunches of grapes and colorful fruits and vegetables. The edible and inviting entry centerpiece contrasted with the formal French living room where family portraits and silver framed pictures caught the eye amidst the sparkle of Steuben, tasseled satin, and textured brocade in vibrant colors.
Glass and mirrors reflect the inter courtyard, rose garden and pool. For the wedding reception of daughter Mallie, the pool featured colored lights and a Plexiglas covering and became a stunning dance floor. The courtyard lawn was filled with beautifully draped and decorated dinner tables.
When Kacy's home was on the Independent Presbyterian Christmas Tour, uniquely fashioned Christmas trees and angels were central to the rooms. She acknowledges, "I learned from my mother how to arrange flowers. She has always had wonderful cutting gardens, and we arrange flowers together for functions, for demonstrations, and for fun. She has shared with me her eye for color, contrast, and drama." Kacy brought the process to fruition with her sisters Nonie and Mallie when they were ball chairwomen for the Birmingham Museum of Art. Their salute to Brazil was vibrant in color and taste!
The Birmingham community has benefitted from Kacy's tireless work. As first Brooke Hill board chair of The Altamont School, she took the reins during a transitional time. The death of the much loved and long tenured headmaster Martin Hames called for a search committee, evaluation of school programs and practices, and change. During that same board chairmanship, she also chaired the board at Glenwood, an autistic and behavioral health center in Birmingham. She continues as a life board member reflecting her father's service in State mental health.
A tireless worker with the Alabama Ballet, Kacy has been board chairman twice. She is most proud of their educational outreach, and the Alabama Ballet's annual performance of George Balanchine's The Nutcracker™ . Her successful efforts helped connect the public with the dancers at the barre, in classical works, and in contemporary pieces.
Foremost with the Irelands and Brooke Hill alumnae are family and maintaining friendships. Both are genuinely hospitable, caring, and nourishing. Kacy benefitted from those relationships, which she has built upon and expanded. Her husband Guy Mitchell, whom she met in class at the University of Alabama and calls "Mister", is the ultimate supporter. At this point their children have returned to Birmingham. Guy III, father of three, is president of DeShazo Crane Company and vice president of Mitchell Industries, Inc. Their two daughters attended Altamont. Mallie is a mother of three, and Dottie heads Mitchell Community Consulting and is a new member of the Altamont Alumni Board.
The circle and celebration continue. We salute those Brooke Hill Girls, like Kacy Mitchell, who have become prominent women through service to school, community, and family.

Cherries: Howe wants more poacher's goals from Pitman
7:00am Tuesday 29th January 2013 in Sport By Neil Perrett
CHERRIES boss Eddie Howe has hailed Brett Pitman as "one of the best finishers I have worked with" - and has challenged him to score more poacher's goals.
Pitman bagged a third career hat-trick – two penalties and a close-range effort – to fire Cherries to victory over League One rivals Crewe on Saturday.
The striker, who turns 25 on Thursday, became Howe's first signing of his second spell when he rejoined Cherries, initially on loan, from Bristol City in November.
A product of the club's youth ranks, Pitman has flourished under Howe's tutelage, his 26 goals helping Cherries to promotion from League Two in 2009-10.
The only ever-present as Cherries memorably beat the odds to return to the third flight, Pitman missed just two league games during Howe's first stint as manager.
His treble against Crewe took his tally to seven in nine games since he came back – with Pitman having scored 49 times in 80 league appearances under Howe.
Speaking to the Daily Echo, Howe said: "Brett's goalscoring record is up there with the best of them. Even though two of his goals against Crewe were penalties, he still needed to be in the right place to score the second one. We want to see him score more goals inside the six-yard box.
"He has done well to score seven goals since he came back but I think there is more to come from him. He is a very good player, he can do certain things that other players can't and, with more games, he will only get better."
Pitman responded in style after being recalled against Crewe having been dropped to the bench for tactical reasons for Cherries' clash at Hartlepool.
Howe added: "He is the type of character who is desperate to play every game, as most players are. He was disappointed but showed a great attitude. We have left him out a couple of times because we have tweaked our system.
"His response, in terms of demeanour and how you act as a substitute, was very pleasing and he thought of the team. We always pick a team to try to win the game, regardless of personnel. We will choose different systems for different games.
"We went with three in midfield at Hartlepool and it meant there was no place for Brett. But he responded in the best way by scoring a hat-trick and is a team player. I don't think we have seen the best of him yet."
Pitman, whose move was made permanent earlier this month, said: "I know there are reasons for me not playing. I was rested for the FA Cup game against Wigan and was left out against Hartlepool due to formations and tactics. Three games in eight days would have been difficult because I haven't played many times.
"I am getting fitter with every game but still feel like I have got a bit to go.
"We have probably got 20 players who all expect to play and the quality is the best it has ever been here and, hopefully, we can get to the next level."

Team player.........I wonder what players like Grabban and Daniels think of him when he steals the ball from them to take the penalties?
