First and foremost, clearly the 49ers have a luxury (or a "good problem") that a lot of teams would absolutely love to have. Due to good management, coaching, and excellent drafting by Harbaugh, Balkee, and the San Francisco front office, they now have young players down on the depth chart, even on the practice squad (i.e.: LaMichael James and AJ Jenkins) that can likely step in an be playmakers right now in the NFL. The fact that Aldon Smith (this year's current sack leader) and Colin Kaepernick (traded up to get him) were their first two picks in the 2011 Draft clearly shows that someone knows exactly what they are doing in the 49ers organization. It's obvious that Kaepernick is a special talent who will be a big part of the 49ers' future, and I couldn't be more happy to be a 49ers fan right now. Once again, my 49ers got the under-valued quarterback as I wish they had gotten in Aaron Rodgers. It's pretty clear that Jim Harbaugh has an eye for quarterback talent and flat out knows how to coach the position.
Who would you rather & who gives them the best chance to win right now…? ummm…
I may be a fan of Alex Smith, but I am a 49ers fan first and foremost. I'm not blind to the fact that Kaepernick can make two or three plays a game that Smith cannot make due to C.K. being bigger and having slightly more athletic ability. But, at the same time there may be two or three bad plays every game that Smith won't make as well, due to his experience and time-tested ability to take care of the football and move the chains. But, even when taking emotion out of the equation, this is still a very difficult question (and it's not as black and white as many would think). Good cases could be made for both guys to start (if you don't agree, you don't watch enough 49ers football). I truly would not be disappointed to see either player behind center at this point. Yes, I know that my opinion may be considered "sitting on the fence" as some would say, but it's a true statement and it's how I honestly feel on the topic (even when taking my feelings for Smith out of the equation). Here's why….
If Kaepernick were to go, I would miss things from Smith, such as his ability to check off to the perfect play and orchestrate the offense to perfection. Alex has a tremendous ability to move the chains with consistency, make clutch throws as well as game-winning drives when asked. I would also miss the way Alex takes care of the football, never putting the defense in bad situations, which is another reason why the 49ers' defense has been so successful at keeping other teams off the board. There is also something to be said for having playoff experience, which Alex Smith now has.
At the same time, If Smith were to go, I would miss a lot of things from Kaepernick, such as the obvious talents that everyone sees on highlight reels. His arm strength along with his ability to escape from pressure and make throws further down the field are unrivaled in this organization. He's shown tremendous leadership abilities and clearly has learned a lot under Harbaugh and working behind Smith for the past two seasons. He's absolutely the future quarterback of the 49ers (next season and beyond), as they drafted him in the second round for a reason.
The more that Harbaugh continues to give Kaepernick the nod, the more I would like him and the 49ers to stick with the second year man (as Jim is likely to do). If they want to make the move to Kaepernick this season, there couldn't have been a better time to do it, as he'll now have a few weeks to refine his skills before the playoffs; which is where the move is expected to pay dividends.
Can't we just let the real expert decide?
Obviously down the road, Kaepernick is the guy I want to see as the 49ers' QB. But as far as this season goes, #7 is doing a lot to convince me he is ready to take the reigns right now. Kaepernick showed a lot of poise, and he did a great job running the 49ers offense on the road in a loud stadium using hand signals and a silent count. Nobody can argue that playing the Saints — regardless of their lousy defense — is different in New Orleans than at home. Kaepernick once again, did even more to convince me that he can get it done in big spots, including on the road, if need be.
However, my instincts as a 49er fan are telling me that I should leave it to the real expert and trust Jim Harbaugh's decision. After all, he knows better than I do when it comes to the quarterback position and who is best fit the lead the 49ers the rest of the way. The fact of the matter is that Harbaugh probably knows better than every single person writing on this topic when it comes what's best for the 49ers this season and down the road. Leave it in the hands of the real expert says this 49er diehard. After all, anything less then a 49ers Superbowl and the media circus will second-guess his decision, regardless of who he chooses.
The media attention, voiced opinions, and over-analyzing….
The media attention and non-stop over-analyzing of this whole thing is interesting for many reasons. Once thing is for sure; no sports writer will misspell the name of Colin Kaepernick ever again. The media attention surrounding this "quarterback controversy" (and the arguments for both players as the 49ers starter) is true testament to how well Smith really has played this past two seasons. Kaepernick has performed brilliantly since getting his opportunity, and the fact that many are still arguing for Smith (after most analysts have argued that the 49ers were great everywhere "except the quarterback position") shows that Smith had done his job well above the mean for a quarterback in the NFL. The media isn't exactly badgering the Eagles right now about the possibility of Michael Vick losing his job to Nick Foles. Perhaps this is because the Eagles aren't winning, but what is a better measuring stick for a quarterback than wins and losses?
Alex Smith = Professional
With all that being said, Smith has handled this whole situation and media frenzy with a lot of class and character as he has done throughout his entire career. He has played solid and smart football, ran an evolving and complex offense to perfection, and led the 49ers to a lot of wins, and even took them to an NFC Championship (a loss which was not on him). Call him a "Game Manager" all you want and talk about his limitations as a passer (he's not as limited as most think). There's a lot of teams, even playoff contenders, that would take #11 as their starting quarterback right now. As a 49ers fan and a sports fan, I will always root for Alex Smith no matter who he plays for. Anyone rooting for his demise is likely doing so out of spite or malevolence. At only 28 years old, Smith will start somewhere again and he'll be twice as hungry. In the meantime, he'll likely paid roughly $4 million a year to stand on the sidelines while helping Kaepernick along (as he has done the past two weeks); which also shows his leadership qualities and commitment to his team's success.
Many important things get ignored and over-shadowed.
Due to this whole "controversy" and all the focus on the quarterback, many important factors get ignored. First, the media pays less attention to the play on the field. The 49ers defense once again performed brilliantly. Two weeks ago, the consensus was that the Chicago defense may be the top defense in the league because of their ability to turn the ball over and create points. Since then, the 49ers have forced four interceptions, scored two touchdowns and a safety in only two games. Meanwhile, Aldon Smith alone has netted seven sacks in those same two games. They continued to show the league that they may have the most ferocious defense in the NFL. Take a defense like this that also feels under-appreciated, and who knows what we may see on Sunday against the Rams (hopefully, it's not another tie)!
Also overshadowed this week were the injuries of Kendall Hunter and Kyle Williams, which are major factors in the 49ers offense. These injuries will result in rookies AJ Jenkins and LaMichael James being added to the active roster. It also resulted in the first carry for free-agent signing, Brandon Jacobs on Sunday.
Haters will hate, but the 49ers' stock is rising.
There are many jealous haters and media pundits who are looking to see this thing blow up in Jim Harbaugh's and the 49ers' face. However, these people will likely continue to be disappointed, as it's clear the 49er organization is (and continues to be) on the right track. They're now the favorite in the NFC to reach the Superbowl despite not having the best record and playing in a weaker division. The presumed removal of Smith from the payroll next year will allow for the 49ers to make moves such as signing safety Dashon Goldson, the next big move after their recent signing of Navarro Bowman to a long term deal. While some hope this "quarterback controversy" will end up dividing the 49ers locker room, it will likely end up doing the opposite. The effect of the outside world putting a microscope on a team of well-trained athletes who have achieved success as a group often creates an "us against the world" mentality in the locker room and ends up bringing a team together, rather then dividing it. At the same time, the effect that things like this will have on a team severely depends on wins and losses. Then there are also those media wackos that will speak as if anything less then a Superbowl win means that Harbaugh made the wrong choice. However, as long as Kaepernick can stay healthy over the next few years and get some playoff experience under him, excitement from 49ers fans will likely continue and we'll have something to look forward to each season for years to come. This excitement and buzz around the 49ers is due in large part to the passion and brilliance that Harbaugh has brought to the 49ers organization.

Funded by Senate Bill 1407
Initial Funding Year: FY 2009-2010
In anticipation of additional cost-cutting measures, all facts are subject to change. More information
Courtrooms: 5
Square footage: 65,569
Current authorized budget: $69,236,000
Estimated construction costs per square foot are being updated
Current status: Architectural design; delayed until funding is available
Current expected completion: TBD
Historical Documents
Feasibility Report
These facilities are overcrowded, physically deficient, and significantly lacking in security features to the current standards. For example, all of these facilities lack holding cells for in-custody defendants. Also, separation of court facilities in three buildings creates operational inefficiencies. For example, court records are maintained in the Historic Courthouse, but must be hand-carried between the other two facilities.
The proposed project would consolidate operations from these three buildings into a modern, secure courthouse for centralized criminal, civil, traffic, juvenile, and probate proceedings. It would also enable the court to expand basic services it currently cannot provide due to space restrictions: appropriately-sized jury assembly and deliberation rooms located within the courthouse, a self-help center, a children's waiting room, family court mediation, attorney interview/witness waiting rooms, and secure circulation for court staff and visitors, as well as in-custody holding.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Compliance
The AOC proposes to acquire a parcel in the County of Tuolumne's Law and Justice Center in Sonora. The County completed an environmental impact report (EIR) for the Law and Justice Center in 2009. The AOC has prepared an addendum to the EIR to comply with requirements of CEQA. The addendum discloses and evaluates the courthouse project's changes and the environmental impacts of those changes.

Saturday she will celebrate her 102nd birthday.
She was the youngest of three children. Her father passed away when she was only 2 years old and since her mother couldn't afford to take care of her, Mrs. Dorothy went to live at Sager Brown Orphanage in Baldwin where she learned to cook and take care of a laundry.
Although she was raised in an orphanage, she remained very close to her mother who was a seamstress and she taught Mrs. Dorothy to sew. She recalls working hard as a young child and having many chores including feeding chickens and chopping wood.
She married Clarence Guenze at the age of 18 and they had two children, Clarence Guenze Jr. and Lavera Brent. Clarence Jr. now lives in New Jersey. He is a retired federal social worker who worked in federal prisons. Lavera passed away, but was one of the first African-American police officers in Franklin. Mrs. Dorothy also has four grandchildren, five great grandchildren and eight great great grandchildren.
Her first job was a shirter in a pressing shop. She later went to work for Dr. Larry Mouch who, according to Mrs. Dorothy, was very fond of her. He sent her to take a nursing course at the former St. Anne's Hospital (now the Franklin Police Department) and she began doing private duty nursing.
"I worked for all of the rich people," Mrs. Dorothy recalled, "They were all very fond of me and said that my hands did more than the medicine."
She was a member of the first Broussard-Harris Park Board and in 2008 received the Black Achiever's Award from Broussard-Harris. She was also president of one of the first PTAs at the former Franklin Negro High School.
Mrs. Dorothy has been a resident of Franklin Health Care Center since 2006. Her favorite activities are crocheting gifts for people, playing bingo and singing. Her favorite song to sing is "God's Amazing Grace."
According to Guinzy Brent, Mrs. Dorothy's granddaughter, she still practices private duty nursing. Mrs. Dorothy has had five roommates since moving into FHCC, and every time one of her roommates has become ill, she has sat and monitored them.
"She's an angel," FHCC Activities Director Jo Aufieri said, "She always has a positive attitude and encouraging words, she loves the Lord, she listens and gives good advice and she is very much loved."
Mrs. Dorothy attributes her longevity to her love of God.
"His grace was enough for me," Mrs. Dorothy says, "I've been through some storms, but I made it by the grace of God."
Mrs. Dorothy will be 102 years young Saturday. Happy Birthday, Mrs. Dorothy!

Forums >Running 101>Practice makes permanent...
I am very green, but I am curious about my gait. I am running when I can right now which isnt that much. I guess what I am saying here is. Should I be worried about how I run at this point or should I just be running?
Thanks for any advice.
no need to "worry" about how you run but you should do research on proper form when running & especially if you run any type of hills. so bottom line:more important to be consistent & running mostly easy/slow not worrying about your pace, & focus on proper form so that everything becomes a habit. build a good solid consistent base then you can build on top of that.
Milktruck say relentless
Run next to shop windows whenever you can, and just make sure you look good while running. The rest will take care of itself.
Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.
" ..that corner has narrowed to a half-nekkid egyptian wandering about in the cold new jersey nighttime."~ R2E
Run next to some hot chicks and your form will take care of itself.

More likely you will run too fast.
LOL! I do this all the time haha, its compulsive that I check windows as I pass them!

BUFFALO, NY - Junior outfielder Jason Kanzler was named as one of just nine Division I players in the nation to earn a spot on the ABCA's Rawlings Gold Glove Award team for defensive excellence. Kanzler becomes the first Buffalo player and the second player among all Mid-American Conference schools to win the award since it's inception in 2007.
"I think it's a perfect tribute to the season Jason had in the field. Defensively, he was the best outfielder I saw all year," said head coach Ron Torgalski. "He deserved this recognition, and to receive such a prestigious award is great for Jason, and for the program. When you look at the other guys selected, they all come from some pretty big programs, so for a mid-major school to be among those names really goes to show just how great he was this season."
Kanzler was the main catalyst that propelled the Bulls to a record-breaking season that included its first-ever trip to the MAC's postseason tournament. Despite recording 197 putouts (third most on the team), Kanzler was the only every-day player to post a flawless 1.000 fielding percentage. He also added 11 outfield assists, most among UB outfielders.
Aside from his defensive prowess, it was also his offense that gave the team a boost in the final month of the season. Ending the season on a 14-game hit streak, the junior batted .408 with seven doubles, five home runs, and 19 runs batted in over 17 games in the month of May. He finished the season with a .345 batting average and a spot on the All-MAC second team.
The Rawlings Gold Glove has been the standard for outstanding defensive play in the Major Leagues for the past 55 years. This year marks the sixth season for the Rawlings Gold Glove Award with the American Baseball Coaches Association.
The ABCA All-American Committees select the Rawlings Gold Glove Award winners in their respective divisions. Every college and high school coach in the country has the opportunity to participate through his respective regional chair.
Nine Players from each division (NCAA l, ll and lll, NAIA and Junior College l, ll and lll) are announced at the respective site of each division's national championship. Each winner receives the Rawlings Gold Glove Award similar to the MLB award. Each recipient's school also receives the award for permanent display.

How can I get help to quit smoking that actually works? How/where do I start?
Christina Bach, MSW, LCSW, OSW-C, Oncology Social Worker at Penn Medicine, responds:
Congratulations on wanting to quit smoking! That is a very important first step. There are many options for getting help with quitting. I would first encourage you to talk with your physician about options for medications, including Chantix, Wellbutrin and Nicotine Gum and Patches. All of these interventions have shown great responses for patients, but each person is different and each of these treatment options carries side effects. Your physician can also provide resources for local smoking cessation programs. There are also several research studies (clinical trials) looking at best practice methods for smoking cessation and are even studying smoking cessation in caregivers/family members of cancer patients. Also, you may want to contact your health insurance plan, as they often offer smoking cessation programs and even financial incentives for quitting. This will be a challenge for you; full of accomplishments and setbacks. Remember to give yourself permission to experience the goods and bads of the smoking cessation process and to involve your family and friends in your goal of quitting. It takes a village!!!
Get started by reading these articles on OncoLink.
Anil Vachani, MD, Pulmonologist at Penn Medicine adds:
Quitting smoking can be challenging, but there are several strategies to increase your chances of success. This includes using some sort of pharmacologic therapy (Zyban, Chantix, or nicotine replacement therapy). If possible, you should also take advantage of counseling, either group or individual. It has been shown that individuals that use both (pharmacotherapy and counseling) have the highest rates of quitting. The various options can be discussed with your primary physician or a provider associated with a smoking cessation clinic.

In Its Search for Better Data, IPC Goes Public |
I was pleasantly surprised this morning to receive a note from IPC indicating a change to its data collection methods. In an announcement touting its new market research subscription series, IPC said it would use aggregate company data along with "carefully vetted secondary research." That sounded like IPC would now use data from the publicly traded EMS companies to help flesh out numbers its participating members report. A quick inquiry to IPC director of market research Sharon Starr confirmed as much. "The growth rates reported each month will be based on IPC's survey sample, but we will be looking at published data from the publicly traded EMS companies as a cross-check and may also use this data in our market-size calculations. If growth rates from the publicly-traded companies differ significantly from what our survey participants are telling us, we will address that in the reports," Sharon told me. This represents a departure from the past 20 years, where IPC would rely only on the data directly reported by survey participants. For years, report after report showing various manufacturers' monthly sales numbers would arrive on an unsecure fax machine in the IPC office. Eventually, that fax was moved to someone's office, but there was little in the way of confidentiality offered, and even if the the reporting company used a unique code, its name on the top of the fax always gave it away. As companies went public and disclosures became more scrutinized, there was a real disincentive for manufacturers to submit monthly data. Over the years, this trend undermined the usefulness of the IPC data: if larger companies weren't reporting, were the figures as published truly representative? Parsing the publicly traded firm's quarterly numbers will go a long way toward ensuring that the data reflect the macro industry trends. |

The trend of mixed-use development has taken shape throughout the metro area in recent years. Stemming from an alternative to decades of homogenous development, the "live, work and play" concept is now embraced by some suburban communities seeking to stand out amid mundane seas of grey asphalt, big-box retailers and strip malls.
And Dunwoody is the latest convert to a nostalgic way of living. A recent $80,000 grant by the Atlanta Regional Commission for the city's Dunwoody Village redevelopment plans was awarded on the basis of commitment to a mixed-use vision.
"We want to make it alive, a place that's bicycle friendly and suitable for low-speed electronic vehicles," said District 2 Councilmember Danny Ross. "We will also insist on green space, meaning park land used by everyone in the community, a place to hold events."
Dunwoody is currently awaiting the conclusion of a comprehensive plan, expected for presentation to the City Council in April, according to Kimberley Greer, assistant to the city manager. The ARC grant will help fund a "more specific" master plan, adding to the $125,000 already allotted by the city in this year's budget.
A master plan, is expected to have input from residents. "Public involvement is critical; not just awareness," said Greer. "We will hold public meetings and even electronic interaction [for those who cannot attend]."
There has already been significant outside interest in reshaping the Dunwoody Village, which is considered the heart of the city because of its centerpiece historic farmhouse and shops. A group of Georgia Tech students donated a semester-long project on the area, said Ross.
A chief issue for planners is vehicle congestion. Dunwoody is widely known for its traffic, and the creation of a pedestrian-friendly, green-space area could potentially increase the problem.
"We need to measure our transportation plan…against the infrastructure and [find] an ability to accommodate," said Ross, who believes the correct balance of residential space within a mixed-use plan can help reduce congestion. "Right now, my wife and I have two cars and, if I lived in the Dunwoody Village, I can see just having one. I'd be able to walk to get a cup of coffee and groceries."
Another concern is that other examples of mixed-use development in the metro area may not suit residents. The Edgewood Retail District, with large chain stores, has increased traffic on Moreland Avenue, upsetting many locals. Atlantic Station—with restaurants, town homes, shops and a movie theater – has become an entertainment hub, drawing people throughout the metro area.
"We're not looking for the hype of Atlantic Station…and we're not going to have big box retailers like Super Wal-Mart…and Target," said Ross.
Dunwoody is also looking to redevelop the nearby Georgetown area and the peripheral boundary of Winters Chapel and Tilly Mill Road corridor. Like Dunwoody Village, Georgetown will be a mixed-use project, aimed at a "20-year vision for the entire city," said Greer.

Choosing What NOT to Say by Carol Kuykendall
My daughter got her hair cut a few weeks before her due date, from long to stylishly short. She was still trying to get used to her new look and feeling self-conscious when we ran into one of her friends while walking through the mall.
�Oh no!� the friend wailed, touching my daughter�s hair. �I don�t like it!� Then, as if to rationalize her words, she quickly added, �You know me. I�m a Truth-Teller!�
As we walked away, my daughter told me she could have done without the truth that day.
That Truth-Telling encounter has been a sort of blessing for me. It�s made me more aware of that critical moment in a conversation when I�m faced with a choice: Do I say what I�m thinking? Or do I zip it? I�ve decided that what I DON�T say is often more important than what I DO say, especially when it comes to the meaningful relationships in my life.
I keep hearing that �telling it like it is� and �being real� is good for our relationships. Reality TV and Twittering the truth add to our reverence for authenticity. But here�s what I know about myself: If I say everything I think, I can slay the people in my path. And just because I think something doesn�t make it true.
My marriage gives me my greatest opportunity to live out this awareness. In 40-plus years of living life together, my husband, Lynn, and I know almost everything about each other. I can finish his sentences. Predict most of his choices. I can also choose to forget or remember every not-so-good choice he�s ever made. In an argument, I could get the last word in with a perfect zinger. So I have a powerful choice. I can choose what to say � or what NOT to say.
When making a choice about what NOT to say, we need to ask ourselves: Is it helpful � or hurtful � to the person or relationship? What about the timing and tone of the words? A comment about a spouse�s appearance is hurtful when he can�t do anything about it and will only make him self-conscious the rest of the evening. But had we not left the house yet, the comment could have been helpful.
As for the tone, my husband tells me that he doesn�t like me to use my �teacher voice.� I get defensive when he says that, but it also makes me smile because I know exactly what he means.
I came across a plaque one of our children made years ago in a Sunday school class. It�s titled the Family Policy Verse: �Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.� Ephesians 4:29
I think that means choosing what NOT to say is sometimes more important than what I DO say. And that choice leads to better relationships.

Pizza Wars 3: The Official Numbers
It's been six days since Pizza Wars 3 concluded. The winner for 2013, Village Inn, had some strong competitors. See additional results here.
Pizza Wars 3 almost doubled their 2012 donations of $4,300 on Jan. 18. While it was initially thought that the group raised close to $10,000, the final number was actually closer to about $8,500, according to District 219 Education Foundation board member Alyse Burman.
While Village Inn took home first place honors, Father & Son Italian Kitchen's dessert pizza took home second place. Their "pizza" had blueberries and cranberries over toffee streusel and a sweet cream cheese base. It was delicious.
Coming in third place was Lincolnwood's Lou Malnati's Pizza and Pequod's coming in a very close fourth place.
The proceeds raised from Pizza Wars 3 will benefit the student's at District 219 in the form of calculators, refurbished computers, AP testing, college entrance exams and community college scholarships, according to Burman. The Education Foundation's primary goal is to help students by providing additional resources outside the scope of the regular district budget.

Their own home flooded beneath 7 feet of salty water when the levees broke after Katrina struck the Gulf Coast in August 2005, and they know all too well what their countrymen to the north will face: years of debris removal, cleanup, rebuilding, haggling with insurance companies, paying mortgages on homes left unlivable. And they knew they had to help.
"When you watch things like this, you relive all the memories, all the heartache," said Joe Robert, his voice cracking with emotion. He said the images of Sandy victims rummaging through what could be salvaged of their toppled and flood-ravaged homes were painful reminders of his own loss. "I don't have any pictures of my daughter when she was little."
Seven years after Katrina destroyed neighborhoods, killed more than 1,800 people and caused some $108 billion in damage, many of the people caught in its crosshairs are reaching into their wallets and cupboards to try to bring relief to the Atlantic Coast.
Church groups, nonprofits, City Hall and individuals in New Orleans and along the Mississippi Gulf Coast have begun sending care packages, donating money and staging volunteers for the clean-up and recovery efforts.
Robert is working with the Episcopal organization that helped him rebuild his home, St. Paul's Homecoming Center, which was established after Katrina to help residents as they returned to the city to rebuild. The center has expanded its mission to include victims of not just Hurricane Isaac, which struck Louisiana in August, but also East Coast victims of Sandy.
The group has launched an "Adopt-a-Family" program where donations can be made to families in either region to help them as the holiday season approaches. The organization is also coordinating volunteer efforts along the East Coast. They are collecting donations and helping to ferry volunteers from the Gulf Coast to devastated neighborhoods in New York and New Jersey.

The debate around these recommendations will more than likely focus on the constitutionality of proposed gun control laws, the lack of enforcement in existing gun laws, greater scrutiny on background checks, and funding for mental illness treatment.
Absent from this conversation is the way in which gun violence threatens the public's health. We can no longer ignore the annual U.S. toll of firearm deaths, by far the highest in the developed world, as a pressing public health concern.
The current death toll from firearms, 31,000 lives a year, would properly be seen as intolerable if it represented deaths from measles or contamination of the water supply. It exceeds the number of babies who die each year during their first year of life (25,000) or people who die from AIDS (9,500) or illicit drugs (17,000).
As a society, we address public health threats by identifying the root causes, reducing exposure, and instituting protective measures. Advance identification of individuals who are likely to cause mass killings in schools, shopping malls, or movie houses is nearly impossible. And current laws do little to curb individual shootings, many of which involve household and neighborhood settings. We need to turn to protective measures, just as imposing speed limits and introducing safety belts have markedly reduced automobile deaths.
Moreover, bolstering public policy control measures to protect and enhance the health of the public is nothing new to our society. We require the immunization of children against infectious diseases, we enforce laws that regulate food and drugs, and we work to maintain a safe and clean water supply. We have even imposed a tax on disease-causing consumer products such as cigarettes.
In the same way, we must protect Americans from irresponsible gun use. We can start with a ban on assault rifles, high-capacity magazines, and other facilitators of mass murder. Many responsible gun owners will tell you that weapons like the AR-15 used in the Newtown, Conn., shootings are not appropriate for big-game hunting.
Most important, we must give the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention greater ability to fully exercise its duties in both surveillance of the incidence and impact of gun violence to better understand the problem and educate the public on steps for preventing death and injury through the use of firearms.
In the wake of recent tragic shootings, we should ask ourselves what we will do to protect our neighbors and ourselves from this, as from any other, epidemic scourge. When we have made this decision, we will be ready to act to regulate firearms.
The evidence is clear: we must now take action to protect our neighbors and ourselves from this devastating public health crisis. As a nation, we can only improve the health of the public when we get our priorities straight.

I had an unexpected experience recently. As discussed in other threads, as well as prayer and penace, I also practice, stutteringly, disciplined meditation techniques such bas breathing exercises. Normally I manage up to 15 to 20 minutes of serious mediatiton before I lose concentration. I normally simply lie down or am in a seated position whilst meditating.
Yesterday however I chose to sit cross legged, probably simply because the view from my hotel balcony was a wonderous site but the balcony was very small so cross legged seemed the best option. Having settled into a breathing rhythm and looking out over God's creation, I closed my eyes and began my exercise. Now to the point:
I managed about 5 minutes before the pain in my knees and other tendons became very noticeable. I recognised this pain as not of the 'serious' kind, ie, I was not doing myself any real damage, it was just that my limbs were not used to being in such a position. I decided to take advantage of my already meditative state to begin some prayers that I sometimes use when wearing the cilice chain. The pain became intolerable about 10 minutes later and I ceased my meditation/penance. It was a rewarding experience and I gave thanks to God for showing me that oppurtunity, especially as hotel rooms and visits abroad have been problematic for me in the past and this prayerful time on the balcony showed me once more how fortunate I am to have found redemption in the Lord.
Does anyone else have experience of this type of penance?

routes du bonheur Suggestions for itineraries to discover the world
On reservation this offer includes:
2 nights in a double room
1 dinner for 2 persons (drinks included on 1 night)
2 breakfasts for 2 persons
Hotel and restaurant in the country (St Saviour) It was on the island of Jersey that exiled French author Victor Hugo wrote some of his most beautiful poems. This is readily understandable upon visiting this magical island edged by wild beaches. A poetic atmosphere envelops you the moment you pass through the gates of this 14th century manor house. In the grounds there are majestic fountains and delightful little wooden bridges, and the suites boast silky soft fabrics and state of the art bathrooms. The old crypt is now a smoke house for the kitchen's own smoked fish and meats. If in need of a self-imposed exile, tranquility can be found between a game of lawn tennis and a stroll through the woodland amongst hundred-year-old sycamores and oaks.
Hotel and restaurant in the country (New Milton) Cheerful sage shutters and immaculate sweeping lawns welcome visitors to Chewton Glen. A luxury country house hotel and spa set in 130 acres of Hampshire countryside on the edge of the New Forest National Park, and just a few minutes' walk from the sea. No two rooms are alike, the bedrooms and suites of this family friendly luxury hotel share décor that reflect the epitome of aristocratic artistry. Hidden away in a wooded valley you will find the hotel's brand new luxury tree houses. Vetiver restaurant is a nexus of beautiful conservatories, intimate dining spaces and a stunning wine room, Vetiver is as formal or relaxed as the mood takes you. The luxury health spa is dedicated to personalised service and indulgent spa experiences.
Hotel and restaurant in the country (Amberley) After 900 years standing proud in the unspoilt county of West Sussex, known as "the garden of England", this Medieval Castle with a working portcullis, 18 meters high walls and storybook battlement towers, has weathered the attacks of enemies and of time itself. Today, the battles of the past have made way for an enchanted peace, but certain historic traditions remain. Every night, just before midnight, the impressive portcullis is lowered ever so silently, as if to protect slumber that little bit more. The suites are princely, with four-poster beds, and windows overlook gardens full of blossoming trees. The food is also fit for a king and is served in a dining room with vaulted ceilings and walls decorated with tapestries and suits of armour. Take a journey back in time in this uniquely romantic setting.
Hotel and restaurant in the woods (Near East Grinstead) Gravetye Manor is a truly enchanting place; both close to the pleasures of London, yet far from its hustle and bustle. This beautiful Elizabethan manor sits proudly amongst the winding pathways and abundant flower beds in the English natural and wild gardens created by William Robinson, the father of the English natural garden. This quintessential English country house's charm is evident in the wood panelled restaurant with crackling log fires. All year round, the sweeping countryside views, first-class cuisine and attentive yet unobtrusive service ensure an unforgettable experience. Lys offer valid in low season from 1 November to 31 March – except for mountain properties: from 1 May to 30 November
Hotel and restaurant in the country (Newbury) The Vineyard has been described as a temple to Californian Wine. Just outside Newbury, about an hour from London, it certainly lives up to its reputation and more. The cellar holds over 30,000 wines from both the New and Old Worlds, as well as the unique and award-winning estate wines of the owner, Sir Peter Michael. It is also celebrated for its contemporary French cooking with a Mediterranean touch, using seasonal sustainable produce prepared by the executive chef. A destination restaurant deserves a great hotel and again The Vineyard does not disappoint. Traditional bedrooms, spacious contemporary suites, spa and a private art collection to die for, make it a delightful retreat for gourmands and the curious alike.
Restaurant of a Grand Chef Relais & Châteaux and hotel in the country (Malmesbury) Two hours from London, the Cotswolds is an enchanting world of wide-open countryside and honey-coloured stone buildings. It is known as the Heart of England, not because of its geographical location – it is in the Southwest – but because of the emotion that in inspires amongst its visitors. It is here that you will find Whatley Manor, a beautiful private manor house hotel set in twelve acres of English country gardens that are divided into 26 areas with different themes. There is also a private cinema and contemporary spa. Lys offer valid throughout the year except for weekends ("weekend is defined as the period from Friday evening to Sunday noon included)
Hotel and restaurant in a village (Buckland near Broadway) This is one of the finest manor houses in the Cotswolds, set next to a 13th century church, amidst beautiful gardens which create an oasis of tranquility. William the Conqueror even mentioned this establishment in his private diary. It is the perfect place for relaxation, with the opportunity for horse riding, golf, tennis, hunting and walks. Crackling log fires warm the cosy lounges. Bedrooms with large bathrooms have a country house feel, giving the comfortable impression that you're spending some quiet, relaxing time in your own home.
Hotel and restaurant in the country (Leamington Spa) Not far from Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare, Mallory Court is charming for its understated beauty and dedicated staff. This country manor house cultivates British elegance down to the slightest detail, from the perfectly mown lawns to the organic herb garden and traditional herbaceous borders. This is an ideal place to restore yourself with in-room beauty treatments and games of croquet. Another must is a visit to the house where Shakespeare was born. Perhaps a woodland creature will even whisper into your ear a verse composed by the great bard himself: "With this field-dew consecrate, Every fairy take his gait", so that your time here will forever remain a memory like a midsummer night's dream.
Hotel and restaurant in the country (Machynlleth) This imposing white manor house used to belong to Queen Victoria, who left her imprint on the décor and gardens, and loved this part of the kingdom because of the abundance of birds flying in from the nearby estuary and beaches. One of Britain's finest bird reserves adjoins the grounds. Located in Machynlleth, the ancient capital of Wales, the house is now run by Joan Reen and her husband, the painter Rob Reen. They have made it their own without losing sight of the influence of Her Royal Highness Queen Victoria, whose favourite trees still stand where she planted them. Lys offer valid in low season from 1 November to 31 March – except for mountain properties: from 1 May to 30 November
Hotel and restaurant in the country (Windermere) Gilpin is a charming hotel in an extraordinary place: the Lake District National Park. In the main hotel the rooms are exquisitely designed and six have their own private gardens and cedarwood hot tubs. At the beautiful Lake House (a mile from the main hotel) there are just six suites, exclusively sharing 40 hectares of grounds including a private lake, swimming pool, sauna and cedarwood hot tub. Make time for the simple pleasures of the stunning surroundings, between soothing body treatments and invigorating sporting activities. Lys offer valid throughout the year except for weekends ("weekend is defined as the period from Friday evening to Sunday noon included)
Hotel and restaurant in the country (Brampton) This beautiful 17th century manor house stands in grounds populated by 100 year-old trees and the experimental track for the first steam engine locomotive, "The Rocket", invented by the "Father of Railways", George Stephenson, once ran through the garden. The house is a chameleon of sorts. Covered in ivy and climbing vines that change colour with each passing season, it blends marvellously into its surroundings. Its presence is only occasionally betrayed when the little lake reveals the house's reflection. The interior design reflects that of a traditional country house. A local flying club is on hand to teach the basics of flying above the many historical sites in the area. Enjoy a bird's eye view of abbeys and castles and be sure to watch out for Hadrian's Wall, the stone fortifications crossing the width of England. Lys offer valid throughout the year except for weekends ("weekend is defined as the period from Friday evening to Sunday noon included)
Hotel and restaurant in the country (Ballantrae) Standing high above a dramatic coastline overlooking the Irish sea, in the south west of Scotland's historic lowlands, Glenapp is a family owned and occupied baronial castle set in an area of outstanding and unspoiled natural beauty. Underneath its fairytale turrets and towers there are oak-panelled rooms, rich fabrics and fine antiques, as well as modern award winning cuisine and impeccable service. The castle is hidden from the rugged landscape by 15 hectares of magical gardens filled with specimen trees and plants, including a fine collection of rare and unusual rhododendrons. Lys offer valid in low season from 1 November to 31 March – except for mountain properties: from 1 May to 30 November
Hotel and restaurant on the seafront (Oban) There is a certain magic about staying on a private island and Eriska is no exception. Located on the West Coast of Scotland, Eriska has gorgeous views overlooking Loch Linnhe and the Morvern Mountains. The island is solely dedicated to the guests of the hotel, offering a truly unique experience. With over 120 hectares of land, Eriska is a celebration of nature where Highland cattle graze, badgers visit, grey seals and otters swim in the surrounding waters and countless birds, including the Golden Eagle, can be observed. The hotel offers unique levels of personal service, with décor masterfully blending the old with the new. Distant islands form a stunning backdrop to Eriska's golf course and guests can enjoy a spot of sailing, shooting and many other activities during their stay. After an active day, visit the outstanding ESPA spa to be pampered, followed by an exceptional meal at the hotel's renowned restaurant.

The smoothest dark liner!
A smooth and easy to apply gel liner that is highly pigmented and lasts throughout your entire night. The best part is, it doesn't smudge! When applied to your waterline you can achieve a dark smoky look-one of my favorites!
This is my absolute favorite cosmetics product of all time. It's so easy to apply, lasts all day, and never smudges! I've been using this product for years and use it nearly every day, I can't tell you how many pots of this I've gone through over the years. I can't live without it!
Very nice product, easy application, and lasts. This liner is more of a cream liner as I should say, but however you classify it, I highly recommend it becaus wit works! Go MAC!
I was getting my makeup done for my 21st birthday in 2009. I was so in love with the look I purchased Blacktrack Fluidline immediately following my appointment! I am almost 25 and i just purchased my 4th jar last week. It lasts forever in the jar and on your lids! I swear by this stuff and I have turned a number of my friends on to it. They love it!
Favorite Gel Liner
I've been using Fluidline for years. It's staying power is amazing. The one I use in my personal kit has lasted me forever with out drying out. I use it on my lids as well as my waterline. One tip I have is if your fluidline does start to dry out, spray a little Fix+ in there & mix it up! Works like a charm!
Smooth application
Goes on smooth which is fantastic, very dark which is great, I don't re-touch my makeup most of the time so the wing faded some but for all I did that day I'll give it a big thumb up.
Tip, make sure you get a great brush to apply it with I got mac 266SE not sure I love it yet so I will try another brush :)
Best for a Cat Eye look!
This has amazing staying power, 12 hours when set with setting spray, and makes the most precise line for a cat eye look. I apply it with an angled eyeliner brush from Sephora, and it works great! A small amount of product goes a long way as well!
Best staying power of all the gel liners out there!!
I can't say enough for Fluidline. I've purchased so many pots in the past several years because it is simply the only gel liner that stays put all day long though a hectic day at the salon. Trust me. Asian eyes always have issues with staying power when it comes to any kind of eyeliner product but this stuff stays put and is great for wet lining!!
Love this product
I absolutely love this product! I have previously used the MAC liquid eyeliner but the gel is way easier to apply because you have more control. Perfect for winged eyeliner look and it lasts all night without smudging!

Sykes Cottages, the UK's leading independent holiday cottage agency, is pleased to announce its partnership with RentalCars.com to provide their customers with improved service and value for money.
Chester, England (PRWEB) November 22, 2012
Sykes Cottages have been providing high-quality self-catering holiday cottages in the UK and Ireland for the last 25 years. In partnership with RentalCars.com, Sykes will now offer its customers the option to arrange car hire when they book a holiday to the UK and Ireland.
Sykes Cottages are the UK's leading independent holiday rental agency and have been providing customers with high-quality holiday accommodation in the UK and Ireland for over 25 years. Sykes Cottages have now partnered with RentalCars.com to provide customers with the option to book great value for money car hire once they have booked their holiday.
Sykes expect that car hire will be particularly popular with customers of its sister brand, Hogans Irish Cottages. Many customers choose to travel to the Emerald Isle by air and currently have to arrange car hire independently beforehand or on arrival. Booking in advance with a trusted partner should give customers confidence and will mean their holiday runs more smoothly.
Sykes Cottages already offer UK customers travelling to Ireland great value ferry crossings through its partnerships with Irish Ferries and Stena Line. The new partnership with RentalCars.com will appeal to their growing customer base in Europe, the majority of which travel to the UK and Ireland by air. At present, European customers must arrange car hire in addition to making a booking so this new partnership will simplify the process considerably. Customers are now able to book car hire, from the Sykes website as soon as they have booked their cottage holiday, making the process smooth and hassle-free.
RentalCars.com is one of the largest car rental agencies and is trusted by over 4.7 million customers. Holidaymakers who choose RentalCars.com are guaranteed the lowest price and are able to amend or cancel their booking up to 48 hours before rental is due to commence, at no extra cost. Car hire through RentalCars.com is also an affordable option, with rental in Ireland starting at just £12 per day.
Helen Bonner, Operations Director at Sykes Cottages, explained that, "by providing competitive rates on ferry crossings and now an easier way to book car hire, Sykes Cottages continues its commitment to putting customers at the forefront of its business."
About Sykes Cottages
Sykes Cottage was founded more than 25 years ago by Clive Sykes with the aim of providing high-quality self-catering cottages to rent in the Yorkshire. Since then Sykes has grown steadily and now has more than 3,500 independently owned holiday cottages for rent throughout the UK and Ireland.
