A 32-year-old Gays Mills man has been charged in Crawford County Circuit Court with one count of substantial battery.
Tyler J. Babb faces up to 3.5 years in prison and a $10,000 fine if convicted.
According to the criminal complaint, Babb hit two men with a baseball bat at a residence in the town of Marietta on Jan. 24. Babb hit one man in the head and the other in the right arm, the complaint said.
According to the complaint, Babb admitted to officers that he had gone to the residence to confront a man with regard to an incident that had allegedly occurred about four nights earlier between the man and Babb's estranged girlfriend.
A 39-year-old Prairie du Chien man has been charged in Crawford County Circuit Court with one count of possession with intent to deliver methamphetamine.
Christopher A. Fernette faces up to 15 years in prison and a $50,000 fine if convicted.
According to the criminal complaint, a sheriff's department deputy saw Fernette pull into the driveway of a residence of an individual known by the deputy to be involved in controlled substances.
Fernette later drove the vehicle to a parking lot of a store. The deputy then deployed his K-9 on the vehicle while Fernette was in the store, and the dog "hit" on several locations on the vehicle, the complaint said.
Dr. Brian Luck, of the UW-Extension, is pictured flying his unmanned aircraft system (UAS), as he prefers to call the commonly labeled drones. He spoke at the Farmer Appreciation Lunceon last week about how these systems are fantastic new tools in the agriculture industry.
By Correne Martin
Remote sensing, by way of unmanned aircraft systems (UASs), or drones, is a new tool farmers can use to identify and measure plant health. UW-Extension specialist Dr. Brian Luck provided an overview of UASs and their advantages, as the keynote speaker of the 27th annual Farmer Appreciation Luncheon, presented Feb. 24 by the Prairie du Chien Area Chamber of Commerce, at Jones' Black Angus.
Relying upon his expertise as an assistant professor and Extension biological system engineering specialist at UW-Madison, and his research focused on precision agriculture, Luck presented to over 60 farmers, ag industry representatives and sponsors about the different types of UASs, how they're used and what can be gained from the information they provide.

"We sell Prairie du Chien—it's what we do!"
That's the philosophy of the reinvigorated Prairie du Chien Economic Development Corporation. A new office is in place, a new coordinator is on board and positive things are happening.
Lori Bekkum, of Prairie du Chien, was hired in January for the part-time role of driving the 65-year-old entity toward its present-day goals, of course, with direction from the 18-member EDC board. Bekkum, a Crawford County native, former chamber president, and longtime employee of Community Development Alternatives, is delighted for the opportunity to share her vibrant positivity about the community and its offerings. She will generally spend time (15 to 20 hours) on EDC work on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Her office is located at 129 E. Blackhawk Ave., Suite B (next to Gillitzer Law Offices).

One of the three men charged in connection to the brutal beating of a Prairie du Chien area restaurant owner in October of 2015 has been found guilty of amended charges in Crawford County Circuit Court.
Jacob H. Erwin, 25, has pleaded no contest to criminal damage to property, criminal trespass to a dwelling, and entry into/onto a building, construction site or room. The three amended charges are misdemeanors.

Unlike most people, Lynn (Atchison) Tesar, of Prairie du Chien, gets to celebrate two ages for her birthday.
Today—Monday, Feb. 29—is Lynn's 60th birthday. But it also happens to be her "15th birthday," aka, only the 15th day in her lifetime that her true birth date will show up on the calendar.
This is because Lynn is a "leapling;" she was born on a Leap Year: Feb. 29, 1956. She considers herself lucky that her birthday isn't typical and that she has the opportunity to teach others about what a Leap Year is.
Everyone oohed and aahed when Lindsay Focht-Obermier of the Schlitz Audubon Society walked through the crowd at Hoffman Hall with Valkyrie, a female bald eagle who is still in the process of turning into an adult. Valkyrie will eventually sport a completely white head and a bright yellow beak. Bald eagles become adults after about five years, and the females become bigger than the males. The Schlitz Audubon Society conducted several presentations on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. involving Valkyrie and several other raptors. There were numerous other displays at Hoffman Hall along with various presentations Friday night and Saturday at venues including the AmericInn, Country Inn and Suites, and the Prairie du Chien Regional Tourism Center. The Tourism Center had spotting scopes and numerous bald eagles could be seen throughout the day. Visitors were also able to see eagles sitting in trees and flying at other Prairie du Chien area viewing spots on a beautiful February day. (Photos by Ted Pennekamp)
Lindsay Focht-Obermier is all smiles as she shows off Valkyrie Saturday at Hoffman Hall.
Valkyrie drew rapt attention as numerous people took photos with cameras and cell phones.

Gundersen-Prairie du Chien Eye Clinic, as it's known today, employs 10 staff members (from left) Michelle Gregerson, optician, seven years; Kathy Kramer, ophthalmic tech, 22 years; Joyce Kregel, ophthalmic tech, 20 years; Dr. Brad Collins, optometrist, one year; Patricia Arnold, ophthalmic assistant, 30 years; Trudy Joy, patient liaison, 14 years; Nancy Posten, patient liaison, 27 years; Dr. Phil Holzer, optometrist, nine years; Todd McWilliams, optician, 40 years. Missing is Nicole Baumler, optician, one year. (Photo by Correne Martin)
This picture, from the Prairie du Chien Historical Society, depicts how the McWilliams/Gundersen eye clinic building originally appeared when owned by the Bohonek family. It once housed Bohonek's Quality Market and Faultless Bakery and another eye clinic in the upstairs before Dr. Robert "R.J." McWilliams saw patients in one room downstairs.
When Dr. Robert "R.J." McWilliams established his optometric practice in downtown Prairie du Chien in 1950, he could have never envisioned where his one-man enterprise would stand 66 years later.
Just as the eye care industry has evolved in that time, so has the practice. In fact, the Gundersen-Prairie du Chien Eye Clinic—as it's known today—is moving mid-March to a recently-constructed, state-of-the-art facility at 118 S. Marquette Rd. Gundersen Health System-Dental Specialties (orthodontics and oral surgery) will join the eye clinic in the new building, which is expected to open to patients Monday, March 21.
"Our last day [at the 213 E. Blackhawk Ave. location] will be Wednesday, March 16. We will be closed March 17-18 before we open at the new location," stated Jodi Webb, clinical manager.

We import 50 tables every week, and we have some ID coding for this ej.
1006111 (means 10 is for soccer league, 06 is the week we are in, 1 or 2 is the schedule or the position tables of the team, and the last 2 that goes from 1 to 21 are the category, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc...), so every week, the week, schedule and position numbers are changing every week.
So we prepare the zip file with 21 tables, but when importing it assigns the next number of tables we have and we have to change it individually to the coding number we use!.
Is it possible to assign the ID´s for each table when importing the zip?
Thank´s in advanced

I shipped them back with a delivery confirmation and called to cancel. I told the guy I was sending them back and he said he would refund and cancel any further shipments. He did not give me a cancellation number on purpose.
I also replied to the email and someone replied that the product had already been sent. I replied with no answer. 8 days later, I get more product.
I call and the same foreign guy kept saying he was sorry but he could refund $40.00 of the over $300.00 in charges... when I have NO product here to show for it.
He said to give it to a loved one, the he could not refund any more and that there was no one else there to talk to. $310.00 plus and I cannot get a refund... even though I have returned the product. That's just plain trickery and robbery.

Vt. House to give final approval to aid in dying
MONTPELIER — The Vermont House is expected to give final approval to a bill that would allow Vermont doctors to prescribe lethal medication to terminally ill patients who request it.
The likely final passage of the bill sets up a clash with the state Senate, which passed a different proposal.
The differences are over how involved the state should be in monitoring the dying process.
The House version contains several safeguards, including waiting periods totaling 17 days, the requirement that the patient be deemed mentally competent and make the request three times, once in writing, as well as others.
The Senate version removed civil and criminal liability for health professionals and family members when a terminally ill patient takes a lethal dose of medication.MORE IN This Just InBERLIN Free trade talks between the European Union and the United States have failed, Germanys...

i know this has nothing to do with defoe but it says on our home page that UEFA rules dictate clubs can register up to three new players for the knockout stage by February 1 but only one who has already played this season in Europe with his previous club.SO WHY ARE PAVLYECHENKO AND CORLUKA CUP-TIED.
think you'll find that corluka and pav are now able to play, they were cuptied for the earlier rounds but now it's at the knockout stage so it's ok, crazy rule ain't it? ;-)

Chris Arreola: I'm The Worst Enemy To Myself
By CARLOS ARIAS
LOS ANGELES --- Chris Arreola said it's very important that he lives up to his potential, so he can set a good example for his daughter, Danae.
"My daughter, I have to give her something to look up to,"said Arreola, who looked a trim 230 pounds at Tuesday's open workout at USC's Galen Center. "How am I going to tell her to practice hard when I'm just half-assing a workout. You know what I mean? I have the talent, but talent alone doesn't get it done. I have to work my ass off like I have been for this training camp."
Arreola said he is in the best shape of his life heading into his rematch against Bermane Stiverne for the vacant WBC heavyweight title on Saturday at USC's Galen Center on ESPN. The Mexican-American heavyweight hasn't always been in the best shape for some of his biggest fights, but he said that isn't the case this time after his training camp at House of Boxing in National City, which is near San Diego. Some fans are skeptical.
"Hey, I'll take every fan, even the haters. I love them," Arreola said. "One thing I love about haters is at least they are going to tell you what they thing in front of your face. There's some fans out there that will say, 'Ah, Chris Arreola, he sucks,' and then they see you and they're like, 'Oh, you are the greatest thing.' You expect that, but I like haters because they are going to tell you to your face that you suck. If you don't have haters, you're definitely doing something wrong and I'm glad to get a whole bus load of haters in the gym.
"Of course, you know, I do this for the fans. I box my heart out for the fans. It doesn't matter, broken nose and all, I want to finish the fight. I want to give every fan that's in the arena their money's worth. They pay to watch HBO. They pay to watch Showtime. They pay to get cable just to watch me on ESPN. That's what I fight for, for the fans."
Arreola said he had doubts about himself heading into the first fight against Stiverne in April 2013 and it cost him. Stiverne knocked him down and broken his nose, but Arreola still went the distance.
"When I went into the ring that time, I had doubt in my mind," Arreola said. "I had a little bit of doubt. Maybe, because I didn't put enough work into the gym. But in this fight I have no doubt. I left it all in the gym. I worked my ass off in the gym. I won the fight in the gym. That's why I don't believe in luck. Luck is for whoever is playing poker or playing some 21 whatever you call it. I make my luck. I made my luck in the gym. I worked my ass off, harder than I've worked in years. This is porbably the best boxing shape that I've been in probably since the Travis Walker fight (in 2008), nah, since the Malcolm Tann (in 2007) and (Damian) 'Bolo' Wills fight (in 2006).
"This is a slimmer me, a well-trained me. This boxing camp wasn't fat camp. It was boxing camp, that's exactly what it was. Every day we worked we worked on boxing not about me losing weight. Nothing like that. All that mattered in the gym was boxing. That's it."
Arreola admits he has always been his own worst enemy when it comes to training and staying in shape.
"The thing about it, man, is I'm the worst enemy to myself," Arreola said. "I'm the one that kicks myself in the ass. I'm the one that ... the gym is like 15 minutes from my house (in Riverside). I could find any excuse to miss the gym. Car needs an oil change. I need to fix a flat tire. Oh, I need a massage. I feel a little sore. I guess I'll go to the gym tomorrow. That was me. That was my mentality. That's the way I did things. I can't blame friends, wife, kids, nothing ... it's all me. I'm a man. I stand when I pee. I don't sit."
Arreola's trainer Henry Ramirez said it finally clicked in for Arreola when he started taking him out of town for training camp and centered the entire day around training and getting prepared.
"First of all, I seen the dividends it paid when I took Seth Mitchell out (last September)," Arreola said. "You know, that was pretty cake. It was easy. That's the way boxing is supposed to be. You win the fight in the gym and that's what I did."

Britney Most Focussed, Disciplined: Will.i.am
By IANS - LOS ANGELES
Published: 30th November 2013 04:12 PM
Last Updated: 30th November 2013 04:12 PM
Singer Will.i.am, who has worked with pop star Britney Spears, says she is the most "focussed and disciplined" singer in the industry.
The Black Eyed Peas band member worked as executive producer on the singer's latest album, "Britney Jean" and he can't stop praising her.
"I like Britney. I just love her dedication and love for music. That is just the way it is. I love how sweet she is, and how genuine she is. Shy, but fierce," contactmusic.com quoted Will.i.am as saying.
"Most artists are not like that. I don't want to name artists, but Britney is the most focussed and disciplined of all the artists in the industry," he added.
The 38-year-old went on to explain how hardworking Britney is in the studio and how she is always professional when laying down tracks.
"Britney is a pro. Her time is valuable, she has kids. And a lot of the time with an artist they will go into the studio, they will sit around, they are watching TV, they order some food, they are giggling and joking...
"She is like, 'I am coming in from 2 p.m. until 6 p.m.' She will arrive at 1.30 p.m, and from 2 to 6 she will be like BAM BAM BAM.... I have never seen anything like that. Her work ethic is pretty admirable," he said.

Hello guys. I want to ask can we flash a M8 rom to E8?
They both have the same hardwares on them. So is it possible?
No. Not without certain tweaks anyway, because their model numbers etc differ. And also the camera module is different. They don't have exactly similar hardware.
Yeeah you are right. But the developers can build the roms based on M8 easily right?
I'm not a developer to comment on that. But yes I guess so. Only problem is we don't have many developers for this phone due to it's small reach.
That makes me confused to buy this phone even if it is the best smartphone on this price. Thank a lot dude.
Do you know, what needs to be adjusted?
I would love to see a custom rom for my E8 (M8Sn) and cannot find anyone who is able to help me.
It is the singleSIM version from Germany.

The Monster: All right, that's it! I may be a reanimated corpse put together from dismembered body parts, but at least I'm not a hunchbacked little grave robber like you!

Contact Information:
Daniel Rodgers, M.D.
Daniel Rodgers, M.D. firstname.lastname@example.com
Maximum Number of Students:
When Offered:
Length Of Course:
Contact Dr. Rodgers for Time and Location.
This course is designed to introduce students to the role of emergency medicine ultrasound as well as provide initial skills development in the hands-on acquisition of ultrasound images at the patient's bedside. Emergency ultrasound has a unique role: the provider must perform and interpret the study right at the patient?s bedside and rapidly add the findings to their assessment and management of the patient. Students will work in the Emergency Department refining their skills at image acquisition and interpretation working closely with credentialed emergency medicine faculty. Students will not be responsible for direct patient care during this rotation.
The student will have access to a variety of self-directed resources for the course material including video, online learning modules, and an image bank for review. Teaching resources will consist of bedside practice and teaching by credentialed Emergency Medicine faculty as well as independent reading and self-directed learning modules. The resources of the Simulation Center will be utilized for instruction and practice in the use of ultrasound for procedural guidance. At the beginning of the rotation, the focus will be on understanding the indications to perform bedside imaging and the skills to obtain optimal images including an understanding of the various controls of the ultrasound machines. As the student progresses through the rotation, more emphasis will be placed on image interpretation and inclusion of findings in the clinical care of the patient. The overall goals of the rotation will be for the student to demonstrate the ability to obtain proper ultrasound studies at the bedside, to recognize normal and abnormal studies, and to discuss the role of bedside ultrasound in the overall care of the Emergency Department patient.
This course will be offered throughout the entire academic year.
Course Outline:
1. Brief outline
This course will introduce medical students to basic concepts and applications of bedside ultrasonography in the evaluation of a wide variety of Emergency Department patients. The skills of image acquisition and immediate interpretation will be a core of the rotation experience.
Learning opportunities will include:
a. Self-directed didactic modules covering the physics and instrumentation of ultrasonography and the applications of US in the Emergency Department.
b. Bedside, supervised ultrasound studies performed by the student with direct supervision by emergency ultrasound credentialed faculty during dedicated ED shifts.
c. Attendance at Emergency Medicine weekly resident conference.
d. Completion and discussion of a pre-test and post-test consisting of still image and video interpretation and case-based material.
e. Completion of a written case report of a patient evaluated during the rotation.
f. Emphasis will be placed on the acquisition and interpretation of images at the bedside.
g. Use of the textbook "Manual of Emergency and Critical Care Ultrasound".

OXFORD, Miss. (AP) -- Mississippi coach Hugh Freeze has used the word "scary" to describe the Arkansas Razorbacks multiple times this week.
Considering the Razorbacks are winless in the Southeastern Conference, that description might seem like a touch of hyperbole. But Freeze is adamant that Arkansas' first-year coach Bret Bielema has the infrastructure in place to develop a winning program quickly.
Ole Miss (5-3, 2-3 Southeastern Conference) hosts Arkansas (3-6, 0-5) on Saturday at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. The Rebels are one win away from bowl eligibility for the second straight season.
Ole Miss is coming off a bye week, which gave several starters a chance to get healthy. Defensive end Robert Nkemdiche, cornerback Mike Hilton and running back Jeff Scott are all expected to play against the Razorbacks after missing time with injuries.

Skip to comments.California Economy Threatened by Texas from Panama Canal Expansion
Posted on 05/05/2014 8:45:05 PM PDT by Moseley
California will take another hit right in the struggling economy starting April 2015. Instead of loading and unloading at California ports, many international cargo ships and oil tankers will start accessing the booming Texas economy. Texas is flourishing under Rick Perrys Republican policies. A dramatic expansion of the Panama Canal will give more choices to massive, new cargo ships.
The Panama Canal has been at maximum capacity, with more ships transiting the Isthmus of Panama than the canal was designed to handle. But more importantly, changes in the shipping industry are in play. Massive new megaships are transforming the industry. Those ships currently have no choice but to load and unload in California.
This development could shift a slice of a market valued annually in the trillions of dollars away from California toward Texas and other ports on the East Coast of the United States. One ocean port can generate billions of dollars in state and local tax revenues.
The Port of Los Angeles alone generates 919,000 regional jobs and $39.1 billion in wages and tax revenues each year. Los Angeles ports handle about 40% of all the container traffic in the United States. There are a total of 3 million employees in industries related to port operations. Studies project Los Angeles ports will lose between 1% and 25% compared to existing levels of trade.
Greater Los Angeles has remained highly prosperous despite decades of left-wing regulations and governmental policies burdening the California economy. Trade through California ports of entry has helped keep California afloat financially.
Ocean-going shipping is the cheapest mode for transporting freight by far. Therefore, shortening the distance that freight travels over land can dramatically affect the overall expense of importing or exporting products.
(Excerpt) Read more at aun-tv.com ...
Read the rest at: http://aun-tv.com/california-economy-threatened-by-texas-from-panama-canal-expansion/
Kalifornians ought to look up this term - "free enterprise." That's what is happening with shipping choosing cheaper, better ports on the Atlantic side rather than wasting their money in Kaliforniastan.
Gov Brown treats California agriculture like a redheaded step-child
because the aggies can't go elsewhere. On the other hand export of
California ag products will keep ports alive. Quit screwing with
the farmer's water, Moonbeam.
No, No, No, California's economy always has been and always will be threatened by liberal jackwads and Gaia worshipping environazis. Those two groups have done more damage and driven out more business than anyone or anything else on the planet.
A drive north on the 5 freeway will show farm after farm completely dry and turning to dust. Orchards that look like sets ready for Halloween, even grape vines that are just sticks. The 99 is even worse. If the taps to the fields opened tomorrow, it would take years for farms to recover.
I don't think most of them will ever be back.
If farming in California dies, then the state dies!
Oh BS. We can get everything we need at the fgrocery store. /s
That's really too bad. I used to live in almond country. As far as the eye could see, almond trees.
I have a son in the valley, so I don't wish bad on them. But as for the rest of that state, san fransicko, LA, sacramento.
I'm just amazed at what faggots, crimigrants, lieberals, and the other scum have done to that place in such a short time. California is an allegory of what's going to happen to the rest of the country unless state's leaders grow some balls and send the fags, et al, packing.
Go Texas! The less money those folks in cali have the fewer dumb ideas they can try and infest the rest of us with.
"No, No, No, Californias economy always has been and always will be threatened by liberal jackwads and Gaia worshipping environazis. Those two groups have done more damage and driven out more business than anyone or anything else on the planet."
Hammer them down. Drive them out of public life.
California Economy Threatened by .... California Legislators
As Serpenthead Carville might say...."It's the population, stupid."
Go ahead and cheer for the Texas economy. With economic
domination comes population and with population comes liberalism.
Then the stupid ideas will come from Texas. Molly Ivins will
be laughing from her perch in hell. Wait and see. We learned
the hard way in California.
And, BTW, some of you California haters are just too thick to understand
that California is not your enemy......liberals everywhere are.
Half of this country is either ill-informed, doesn't give a shit, or just plain stupid. Too many have shed blood so they can riot over the next sneaker or some ball game or loot in a natural disaster. I'm actually hoping for the next Los Angeles riot. The scumbags say they will head to the suburbs. I hope they will and so do my neighbors. Eat that NSA.
California's economy is threatened by lower taxes and fewer regulations in Texas
And the world will suffer. The Central Valley was once a great ag engine of the world. This is what Lenin did to the Ukraine to get them to submit
Texas is a bit out of the way for the Panama canal. Miami will be the closest deep water port.
I worry about the next riot, as I am on the edge of a big gangland area. And I believe that our next will be over money and benefits, when the govt cuts back on the freebies.
They were on the rooftops of their properties pointing guns down at the crazed looters. Not a one of their stores were looted or burned once the scum saw the rifles point at them.
Again, be prepared since you can't count on the authorities. I learned this first hand as I stood watch at my company on the roof along with some relatives. We were somewhat removed from LA proper, but they were heading our way until the National Guard finally put down the riot.
Last thought: The police are minutes away when seconds count.
Some of them don't get it. Many seem to think massive populations mean success, wide open freedom, less crime, less taxes etc...
You hit it on the head...More crime, more libs, more free loaders living off the workers, more traffic, jammed schools...etc...and more regulation to control it all and on and on...
Maybe CA will try to sue Texas. And China, and every American, and God. CA will soon be flopping like a beached fish due to their own policies.
Well this WILL and IS dying NOW, all water rights cut off due to some
smelt I live in CA. just pathetic GO RICK PERRY!!!! State gets what it
votes for!!!
Even before the canal expansion opens, The port of Houston is and was #1 in foreign tonnage.
Panama Canal Expansion
Miami doesn't have the infrastructure to move the massive amounts of goods. Down at the end of the peninsula, rail and highways are very limited. Out of Houston, there are massive amounts of rail lines, as well as multiple interstate highways. Tat is why Miami will remain a regional port, while Houston and Galveston are international ports.
Ooooooooh, California smackdown! Point well made, Sgt Friday!
Oh, yes, farming will not be stifled forever. There will be a post-Brown
era. Farming will be and expand again if only to provide jobs to
liberal's favorite constituency, illegal aliens.
If the final destination is the East Coast, the ships will go to other deep east coast ports as they do now. Texas will still get its share, but probably no more than the proportion it receives today. The big benefit for Texas and other gulf ports will be energy exports going in the other direction.
California port traffic is predicted to decline 10 to 15 percent.
Guess I was thinking of the famine of 1921-22....touched parts of eastern Ukraine ...But with out that wonderful new economic plan and the consolidated thuggery of the communists Stalin would not have been possible
I live in a 'rat county.
Typical of such governance, their solution to a shrinking tax base is to raise taxes.

Yep. I'm aware of what can happen and understand what I have to do.
Your view of the NEP is distorted at best.....PLANNED economies are NEVER about capitalism and free markets. You have romanticized communism into being something akin to the mafia.
Lenin was no hero. He was no capitalist. He instituted communism which in no way is a good thing. You have yourself twisted into a knot. Stalin existed BECAUSE of communism not because he somehow managed to over take the gran and glorious revolution. Goodness. You have a strange view of the collective
According to the political theory of MarxismLeninism of the early 20th century, the kulaks were class enemies of the poorer peasants.[3] Vladimir Ilyich Lenin described them as "bloodsuckers, vampires, plunderers of the people and profiteers, who fatten on famine.[4][5] MarxismLeninism had intended a revolution to liberate poor peasants and farm laborers alongside the proletariat (urban and industrial workers). In addition, the planned economy of Soviet Bolshevism required the collectivisation of farms and land to allow industrialisation or conversion to large-scale agricultural production. In practice, government officials violently seized kulak farms and murdered resisters;[3][6] others were deported to labor camps.
I also live in California, fortunately for me in the north state in a pretty isolated area.
I have a small 20 acre farm and have my own well for domestic and irrigation purposes.
I am just waiting for the EPA or some state or fed alphabet soup organization to come in and tell me I can't pump any longer.
I still own a home in SoCal so I make the trip down the I-5 and 99 corridors about twice a year, it would break your heart to see the dead orchards and vineyards for over a hundred miles at a stretch; then maybe a few miles of healthy ground for those people who are paying a premium for their water or are able to pump their own, then another hundred or more miles of EPA/Sierra Club/Congress created desert.
When agriculture leaves this state; and I think it will, I hope every body in the big cities enjoys paying 500% more for their food or just starves to death.

How to Make Yourself Poop
Four Methods:Trying Short-Term SolutionsTaking Care of Your Digestive HealthAltering Your Bathroom HabitsSeeking Medical AssistanceCommunity Q&A
Infrequent bowel movements lead to abdominal pain, a drop in appetite, and bloating. If you haven't had a stool, there are some ways you can help your digestion and make yourself poop. Start with the gentler methods and try to adapt your diet and lifestyle. If the problem persists talk to your doctor.
Method 1
Trying Short-Term Solutions
1Drink a cup of warm water with lemon juice. Drinking warm water with lemon juice can be especially helpful first thing in the morning, but you can drink warm water with lemon juice any time during the day.[1] Just add about one teaspoon of lemon juice to a cup (eight ounces) of warm water. Sip the water slowly.
- Drinking warm water with lemon juice should soften your stools and help you have a bowel movement, but it may take a little while before it happens.
- If constipation is a frequent problem for you, then you may want to consider starting every day with a cup of warm water and lemon juice.
- If you don't have any lemon juice around, then you can also drink a cup of tea, coffee, or just plain warm water to help get your bowels moving.
2Mix up an Epsom salt solution. Epsom salts are approved by the FDA for use as a short-term laxative. If you have some Epsom salts at home, then you can mix 1 to 2 teaspoons of Epsom salts (check the package to be sure about how much you should use) into eight ounces of water and drink the solution. This should produce a bowel movement within 30 minutes to six hours.[2]
- You can also take a bath with Epsom salts to help relieve your constipation. Fill a bathtub with warm water and add about one cup of Epsom salts to the water. Your body will absorb the magnesium in the Epsom salts through your skin.
3Try a baking soda solution. A mixture of baking soda and water may also help to relieve your constipation. Mix a teaspoon of baking soda with ¼ cup of water and drink the solution. This remedy can also help to relieve gas or an upset stomach along with your constipation.[3]
- Keep in mind that baking soda is high in sodium so this remedy is not ideal for people following a low-sodium diet.
4Eat some prunes or drink prune juice. Prunes are well known for their ability to produce bowel movements. If you have some prunes or prune juice around your house, then try eating or drinking some prunes to help you have a bowel movement.[4]
- You don't need to overdo it, just have a few prunes or one cup of prune juice.
5Go for a walk. Light exercise is a great way to stimulate your digestive system as well. If you have been sedentary for a while, try getting up and taking a walk around your neighborhood to get your bowels moving.[5]
6Try a laxative. Perhaps the most straightforward short-term way to help ease constipation is to take a laxative. There are number of different laxatives that are available from your local pharmacy or drug store. Osmotic laxatives work by helping fluids move through the colon. Some of the examples of osmotic laxatives include:
- Milk of magnesia.
- Magnesium citrate.
- Lactulose.
- Polyethylene glycol.[8]
- The long-term use of laxatives can lead to negative side-effects.
- They can cause an electrolyte imbalance, which may result in abnormal heart rhythms, confusion, and weakness and seizures.
- Long-term use may also lead to dependency and result in decreased bowel functionality.[9]
7Take a stool softener. Stool softeners are for oral use, and are a relatively gentle laxative. Stool softeners are good products to use at first if you have occasional constipation. A stool softener, such as Docusate, works by increasing the amount of water the stool absorbs. The stool then becomes softer and easier to pass.
- Follow the instructions on the package. Generally you will take a stool softener once a night before you go to bed.
- It should work after one, two or three days.
- Do not take it for more than a week unless advised to do so by your doctor.[10]
8Administer a Fleet enema. A sodium phosphate enema is one way to relieve occasional constipation. It requires you to insert the enema tip into your rectum and then squeeze the bottle until enough of the substance is in your rectum. You will then have to stay in position for up to five minutes. After that, you will feel a strong urge to go to the toilet.[11]
- These enemas are available at most supermarkets and drugstores.
- You should try milder laxative, such as stool softeners, before trying an enema.
Method 2
Taking Care of Your Digestive Health
1Eat more fiber. More often than not constipation occurs when somebody is not eating right, not drinking enough water, or not exercising enough.[12] As far as your diet is concerned, the thing to do to tackle constipation is to add more fiber, which helps digest food and increase intestinal motility. You should try to eat at least 18-30g of fiber each day. High-fiber foods include fresh fruit, vegetables and cereals.[13] Some good ways to increase your fiber intake include:
- Eat a high-fiber breakfast cereal.
- Choose wholegrain or granary breads.
- Add pulses such as beans, lentils or chickpeas to stews and salads.
- Have some fresh or dried fruit for dessert.[14]
2Add plenty of fruits and vegetables to your diet. Choose a fruit smoothie at breakfast, a salad at lunch and leafy vegetables like broccoli, spinach or sweet potatoes at dinner. Or in the morning have warm water with lemon juice and carrots on the side.[15]
- If you are often constipated, then try adding prunes as a regular snack in your diet. Prunes increase fiber in your diet and they often work to speed up digestion.
- One clinical trial found that 70 percent of people find relief from constipation with prunes.[16]
3Take a fiber supplement. If you are struggling to get enough fiber into your daily diet, you could always opt for a fiber supplement. These supplements are available at your local drugstore and supermarket. They can be a good short-term measure, but try to incorporate fiber from fresh food into your diet in the longer-term.[17]
4Drink plenty of fluids. Make sure you are consuming 64 oz. (1.9 l) of water per day. Dehydration can contribute to constipation, as if there isn't enough fluid in your gut, your digestion will slow down and stools become bulky and painful.
- Warm liquids, like tea and coffee, may also improve your regularity. Drink them in the morning to heat up your intestines.[18]
- Don't drink too much caffeine, or you can become dehydrated, making the problem worse.
Method 3
Altering Your Bathroom Habits
1Listen to your body. You should always try to listen to your body and respond to it. That means don't delay when you need to go, and don't try to hold it in.[19] You may be constipated because you have been withholding when you need to go. In this case, faeces can condense, making the stool harder to pass.[20]
- People who are traveling or experiencing a change in routine can become constipated. Add in yogurt or prunes and try to stay near a toilet.
- Ask for an aisle seat on a plane or stop frequently on a road trip.
2Make your home bathroom a relaxing environment. Having an environment where you can relax can help you poop more easily and not rush or force it. Close the door and make sure your family knows it is not okay to enter if the door is shut. Don't let people pressure you or make a fuss of it. Never get stressed out as this may slow the process down.
- Try placing your feet on a low stool when you are using the toilet. This can elevate your knees above your hips, and potentially make passing stools easier.[21]
3Relax on the toilet. Try to relax when you are sat on the toilet, and breathe steadily. Don't hold your breath and don't take a deep breath in at the start. One toilet technique is to imagine that your back passage is an elevator. Gently try to push down to the ground floor, and then the basement, until it is down as far as it can go.
- Relax for a second, but do not let the elevator rise back up.
- Widen your waist and push back and down. Don't strain yourself, but try to maintain the pressure.
Method 4
Seeking Medical Assistance
1Make an appointment with your doctor. If you have tried all of these methods and you were still unable to go to the bathroom, you could have a bowel obstruction. If constipation persists for weeks you should get checked to rule out other more serious medical issues. You should see a doctor straightaway if you have symptoms such as cramping, spasms, dizziness or fatigue.[22]
- You can ask your doctor about a biofeedback appointment.
- This is a special consultation in which you will learn how to relax and tighten muscles in your pelvic area.[23]
- If you are on any medications, discuss this with your doctor. There is a chance that medications could be causing your constipation.[24]
2Get an abdominal massage. If you have long-term constipation problems, an abdominal massage can help. The message takes around 10 to 20 minutes, and can be done while you are standing, sitting or lying down. These massages can reduce the need for the regular use of laxatives, and can relieve flatulence. Abdominal massage is not recommended for everybody, so speak to your doctor first.
- Pregnant woman should not get a massage and neither should someone with a history of malignant bowel obstructions.[25]
3Consider prescription medications. You can talk to your doctor about prescription medications that are available to treat constipation. These medications work to draw water into your intestines. This speeds up the movement of the stool. Your doctor will generally only recommend such medications if over-the-counter laxatives have been ineffective.[26]
Community Q&A
Is squatting better than sitting when pooping?wikiHow ContributorYes, because the human body is built to squat when pooping. If you look at apes or cavemen (or even humans when pooping in the wild), you will find that they all squat.
If I don't poop, will I gain weight?wikiHow ContributorNo, although your stomach may be a little bloated and you may feel heavy but your body weight won't differ from other times. Don't hold it in, and if you're constipated, see the article's suggestions.
How frequently should I be pooping?wikiHow ContributorOnce or twice a day. If you're not, you may be constipated or may have IBS, which is irritable bowel syndrome. Speak to your doctor if you have any concerns.
Is it normal to have multicolored poop?wikiHow ContributorMulticolored poop doesn't necessarily mean there's a problem. But if you're worried you should consult your doctor.
Is it bad to go two days without pooping?wikiHow ContributorIt depends on what you're eating and how much you're eating. Everyone is different. Consult your doctor if you're concerned.
Why is diarrhea often accompanied by constipation?wikiHow ContributorWhen you have hard feces blocking your intestine, little watery pieces of feces may slip past the large feces that's preventing you from having a bowel movement, and that results in diarrhea.
How can I get rid of constipation?wikiHow ContributorTry prunes or prune juice, or maybe an over-the-counter laxative. Coffee may also help. If these things don't work, consult your doctor.
I haven't really been pooping much lately - usually every once in a week or two weeks. Is this bad?wikiHow ContributorYes, you should be doing it daily or every other day at most - and it should come easily. You may need to change your diet. Try to reduce sugars, starchy carbohydrates (breads, chips, cookies, pasta, etc.), and unhealthy fats. Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, and healthy protein/fat sources like beans, nuts, fish, and chicken breast. Once you have a healthy diet in place for a while, that should make your bowel movements more normal. If it doesn't, see a doctor.

King Langward controls their lives including who she will marry when she is of age but he is kind to her. When King Langward's son sends her a gift her father teaches her to read and write so she can send him a note to thank him. They begin to exchange letters.

I have received confirmation of our booking & we are looking forward to staying at your hotel. I came across your website by chance and am very glad I did I knew there was something special about it and felt I had to book but you were fully booked on the dates I wanted. I rang my husband &insisted that this was the only hotel I wanted to stay in so we changed our dates. The more I look through your web site ( I only glanced at first ) I knew we had made the right decision especially when you said you could do up rooms for special occasions (my daughters birthday). The more I look the more uncanny things become I spotted a golf section (my husband is a golf pro) so will be well happy he will have someone to talk shop with, anyway did not mean to go on just really pleased I found your hotel & got to book in. Look forward to meeting you,

Just to let you know that the two nights we spent at the Canasta this weekend were great. Just the same as your web site demonstrated it would be.
The hotel was spotlessly clean with real pleasant and helpful staff. I still haven't recovered from the "mighty breakfast"!!!
Nicky and my self definitely intend to stay with you again next year and will be in touch, all that is left to say is that the whole place is a credit to you and your staff.
Many thanks. See you soon

We did not really get to know you due to the weather being so nice and we were out all of the time.
Hope to do so next time though, as we will definately be back to see the illuminations (can you please tell us what dates the illuminations are on?).
ps Still have not eaten anything since the breakfast on Monday morning - brilliant!

Right now my workload is just about as much as I can handle for the next while, so for now private commissions are closed. Depending on how things go, I may re-open them again later. Thanks for your support, everyone!! I couldn't do what I do without you. ^___^

Edith Sampson was the first black person appointed to the United Nations. She was a Pittsburgh native who found her calling in social work. Sampson was forced to leave school at age 14 to work and support her family but later graduated from college. She was encouraged to attend law school and would graduate number one in her class at John Marshall Law School in 1925. Unfortunately, she did not pass the bar exam the first time around.
For several years,Sampson practiced in her own law office to serve the black community in the south side of Chicago. She later worked as a probation officer. After enrolling at Loyola, she became the first woman to get a Masters of Law degree from the University in 1927. This time, Sampson passed the bar. With her new credentials, she worked as the Assistant State's Attorney in Cook County.
Sampson became involved with international affairs and embarked on a world lecture tour alongside 25 intellectuals from around the country. While on tour, she spoke to dignitaries from foreign countries on world issues. Sampson presented her views on Soviet propaganda and established a social work program in Pakistan, using money that was donated to her from the Prime Minister's wife. Her speeches on foreign policy and affairs were intertwined with the civil rights struggle in America.
Sampson was noticed by President Harry S. Truman, who then appointed her as an alternate Delegate to the General Assembly of the United Nations. She was the first black woman to hold this honor.
By 1952, Sampson had been re-appointed to the UN to serve an additional term. Then in 1961, she became the first black U.S. representative to NATO.
Returning to statewide duties a year later, Sampson ran for Municipal Court Judge in Chicago and won. She held the honor of being the first black woman to be elected as a judge in the state of Illinois.
Edith Sampson died in October 1979.

2 thoughts on "Little Known Black History Fact: Edith Sampson"
Not to diminish her stellar legacy, but Henry Ford Cooper was the first Black delegate to the United Nations. Having served as the Liberian delegate to the League of Nations (the predecessor to the U.N.), he signed the ratification to create the U.N. and went on to serve as the Liberian delegate. He was there from the very first General Assembly of the United Nations. Most likely, Ms Sampson was the first Black American to sit in the U.N. general assembly.
I see that another Democratic President (Harry Truman), recognized a Black woman's skills and appointed her to this position. This might have been another reason why Truman wasn't suppose to win.

text: Please help! I added a line of code to my function.php file and then tried to update it. Instead of updating, it gave me an error page. I deleted the lines I'd added and tried to update it again, but got the same error page. So I logged out of the dashboard and closed the browser. Now, my website is offline and all I get is the error page. I tried to log back into WP via websiteurl/wp-admin and still get nothing but the error page. Anybody have any suggestions as to how I can back in there to find out what I've done wrong? Thanks!
