One of the things I like about Switched at Birth is how well it does at hitting hard subjects from a couple of different angles so that fans can decide for themselves what to think. For some questions, there are just no easy answers.
Take Daphne trying to find a good college so she can be a doctor. That whole situation had a plethora of tough questions wrapped up in it. For instance, Regina did have a point about anything being worth doing was also worth sacrificing for, but Kathryn and John also had a point that parents who can afford to pay for their kid's college shouldn't feel like they are "spoiling" them by doing so.
Then there was the question about the Latina scholarship. Regina and her mother, and her mother before her are all Latina, and of course, Regina sees her daughter the same way. But right or wrong, Daphne hasn't suffered from her heritage because she doesn't look like they do and, therefore, didn't fit the criteria of the scholarship. All of it made my head spin just thinking about it.
Thank goodness everyone else's situations didn't revolve around tough questions — tough situations maybe, but not tough questions. Bay discovered that Melody was thinking of leaving town and tried everything she could to keep Emmett from going with her. She had no way of knowing that the simple housewarming party would turn into a surprise wedding, which would then turn into a surprise baby announcement. As it turned out, that story had my head spinning as well.
Emmett wasn't the only one feeling awkward at the party, I actually think Melody felt even more so. A child of a previous marriage is always your child, but an ex being at the wedding of an ex — with a date no less — was beyond uncomfortable. It shows just how strong Melody was, and how cool Gabe was, that they got through that, and I'm so thankful she decided to stay in town. I'm excited to see where this new relationship goes.
Travis and Mary Beth's story was mostly filler, but still pretty good. I was upset at Travis for getting angry at her for asking about his parents, but after he had explained himself, I was able to forgive him. I'm very proud of both of them for being able to talk it out and not let the situation get out of control. Plus, it was great to see Travis get to meet his football hero.
Emmett innocently asking Bay if she would like to tell his mom they were a couple.
Gabe asking Melody to go to her ex-husband's housewarming. Can we say "awkward"?
Melody asking if Debbie got a boob job and Gabe saying he needed to get another look.
Kathryn and Sarah becoming friends.
Sarah's story about John and the chocolate cake. I really hope that's true because it was so sweet.
Travis' excitement over meeting his hero.
Bay telling Emmett that his father had room for both him and a new baby.
Emmett: "Seeing you and being with you is the best part of every day."
Gabe suggesting root canals for his third date with Melody. Sounds about right after their second date.
Melody telling Bay that Emmett needed both of them.
Emmett gathering his old toys up for his little brother. I totally got teary-eyed at that.

Hopefully Josh Hamilton is not losing focus. He came up for what should be his last at bat in Frisco in the eighth inning and struck out on three pitches. After two fast balls, Corpus Christi pitcher Ryan McKeller threw an 82 mph changeup that fooled Hamilton for strike three.
His line on the night was 1-for-4 with an RBI and stolen base.

My Life with Dusty Wallets
- Artist: Spark1duh?
- Genre: Rap/Hip Hop
- Release Date: 4/21/2009
WTF IS A SPARK1DUH?... GOOD QUESTION. Jason Karr a.k.a. 'Spark1duh?' was born to two young parents, some might refer to as hippies, who had no actual music instrument playing abilities. The love of music was still in the household with my mother singing songs with me as a child, a radio always on the 70's rock station somewhere in the house, and my grandmother playing country music on the acoustic guitar. I later moved into a house next door to my life-long friend Gene Louis, of (Bullets & Octane), whose father was a well known jazz drummer, and older brother was a teenager at the time, and listening to all of the early 80's rock, pop, and rap. My first cassette tape was almost 'Guns 'n' Roses- Appetite for Destruction, but my grandmother advised my mom against it, and instead by a stroke of luck I snuck 'Beastie Boys'- License to Ill, under their radars. Although my love for hip-hop and rock music steadily grew, I quickly found myself immersed in skateboarding and the punk-rock music that dominated the scene at that time. Punk was raw and angry and anti-everything almost, and that's how I felt. Like I had no connection to the world, and I was going to change the rest of the world, to my liking. I've seen so many punk shows, I don't remember half of them. Fugazi, Circle Jerks, Sick of it All, Face to Face... etc. This is when the mosh pits were war, and sometimes full of skinheads, trying to catch any random person unaware of their surroundings with a stray elbow or fist. Before I get all punk-righteous, I need to humble myself by telling you this, if you were wondering, my first concert ever was 'Poison' for the 'Open Up & Say Ahh' Tour. Before you laugh, remember, I was only 9 years old, so think about what you liked when you were nine, then you can judge me. I also was at the infamous G'N'R/ Skid Row riot concert in St. Louis, when I was in the 7th grade. From there I listened to everything from Ice Cube to Megadeth, from 2pac to Primus, Cypress Hill to Nine Inch Nails... etc. Anyways, eventually around 92' or 93', skateboarding was overtaken by the revival of East Coast style hip-hop, that was bringing more of a conscious vibe, with a jazz influence, and was totally speaking to me on a wave-length that the West Coast Rap, and Grunge Rock were not catering to any longer. I bought 'A Tribe Called Quest'- the Low End Theory, and 'Wu-Tang Clan'- Enter the 36 Chambers, and from there, it was Nas, Biggie, Digable Planets, Jay-Z... etc. The list goes on forever. I don't know what it was that drew me to it. I think it's the truthfulness. 'That's the way it is, and it's like that.' It took a while and a few lame attempts at rock/punk bands, before I realized that I was a horrible singer, and couldn't really do that cool Heavy Metal scream either, but I could really rap along to the songs I liked & even spit accapella verses of other rappers songs, rather well. So well, that I started to write some lame poems and raps of my own, and tried to spit them over instrumental beats from some record I had. I think it was 'Capone & Noreaga'- Illegal Life/ Stick You. Sooner or later I was in a Basement, with a few of my friends, and making songs over old beats our friend Ponyboy made on a program called Cakewalk. The group slimmed down to 4 people. Our friend Sin and I were the emcees, and Pony and our other drummer friend Gravy, were the beat makers. We came up with the name 'Redrum', which was totally lame, but we put out a self-titled 18 track CD around 2002, and played a few dozen shows to promote it, but later changed the name to 'the Elements' and dropped a second album around 2003. We played around 40-5o shows over the next 3 years, and garnered a fair ammount of attention, but eventually the chemistry went stale, and I felt smothered by the group dynamic, or possibly the creative juices just stopped flowing when we were in the same room together, but I decided to go solo, and Sin had kids, and settled down, and doesn't really mess with music any longer. DJ Who?, joined the group, and our old friend Ben Jost moved back from Miami after assistant engineering at the world famous, Hit Factory under Scott Storch, and became our new engineer/producer, and Ponyboy moved on to his new math/noise rock band 'Yowie'. I put out a few unofficial, samplers over the years, over 40 some odd songs, and played tons of shows at some of the nicest venues in St. Louis, untill I was offered a chance to go on tour with my friend Gene's rock band 'Bullets & Octane'. I was sceptical at first, but he assured me it would be fun, and well paid, so I said what the hell, and went out on the road for about 2 years on and off. We've played in predominately 500 capacity or smaller venues, in almost every state except Alaska, Hawaii, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, & Rhode Island. I had tons of material written from being on the road in a van for so long, and when I got home, I recorded some of my best songs ever. I also started a side group called 'The 12 to 6 Movement', with fellow emcees, Lesson of '40 til 5', and Time of 'The Treez', then we later added Mustee, another memeber of 'The Treez'. The first '12 to 6' album will be out 12-06-08, and the first official Spark1duh? solo album titled 'My Life with Dusty Wallets' will be out by Christmas. Also as of recent, we've been in talks with some people at an unmentionable, three-letter, abbreviated, television station about licensing the rights to one of my songs, 'Everything's Fine', for one of their series shows. At this point in my music career, I've never been happier. For so long I felt like my music wasn't really satisfying to me, and it's because I wasn't being 100% open, and saying everything I wanted to say. Being on tour for so long, really changed me, and at some point out there, I realized that we only live once, and when I die i'd like to not have too many regrets of passed up chances, and missed opportunities. Carpe Diem. Be yourself, There is no one greater than who you are. Best wishes, & lots of love in your travels & endeavors.

Ozzy Osbourne Goes Vegan
Ozzy Osbourne, who made headlines for biting the head off a live dove many moons ago, has completely flipped over a new leaf. In a move that would shock the Ozzman who bit the head off a bird, the new and improved metal legend is attempting a vegan diet in order to get healthy.
The singer allegedly made the switch to an animal product-free diet after watching 'Forks Over Knives,' a documentary that details the pluses associated with veganism.
In case you are not well-versed in alternative diets, being vegan means no meat, no fish, no poultry, no dairy, no eggs, no cheese, no honey. Anything derived from animals is a no-no.
Ozzy revealed his new lifestyle choice during a chat with his wife Sharon on the TV show 'The Talk' this past Tuesday. He revealed that his assistant showed him 'Forks Over Knives' and that made him decide to try something different.
Watch 'Vegan Diet Benefits and Risks'
While going vegan is often a slow and measured process, and one that has immediate effects on the body as you get used to the digestive changes, Ozzy said he isn't experiencing anything negative. He said, "I feel OK actually, I feel better about myself, you know? I go on binges. That's the reason why I decided to cut out meat out and dairy because I've limited what I can have because when you're on the road and you're traveling, you grab buns and… burgers are everywhere… so now I've just narrowed the margin."
The terms of Ozzy's commitment to a vegan diet are uncertain. The singer joked, "I'm not saying I'm gonna do it forever; I might go back, when my wife learns to cook. So that'll be never!"

Understanding Elections, Democracy, and Prospects for Peace in the Arab World
Much has been happening in the Middle East in recent days with the elections in Egypt of Army General Abdel Fattah Al Sisi and in Syria of Bashar Al Assad. Both countries have been the sites of major democratic uprisings in recent years, part of the once-optimistic Arab Spring movements.
But in Egypt, a military general now claims power and legitimacy despite not being able to inspire a large election turnout and being responsible for overseeing repressive measures and handing out mass death sentences.
In Syria, a President who has dug his heels in despite being seriously implicated in violence against civilians, has claimed re-election with a high turnout. Assad now claims a majority of Syrians support him in spite of the on-going rebellion.
Meanwhile in Libya, three years after a US-NATO intervention that was supposed to have freed Libyans from dictatorial rule, there has been intense and deadly fighting, a storming of the Parliament, and two coup attempts.
Finally, in Israel and the occupied territories of Palestine a number of Palestinian prisoners who have been on hunger strike for six weeks to protest their imprisonment are facing near death. Israeli doctors are refusing to force-feed the prisoners saying it is tantamount to torture.
GUEST: Stephen Zunes, Professor of Politics and International Studies at the University of San Francisco, where he serves as coordinator of the program in Middle Eastern Studies. He is also a senior policy analyst for Foreign Policy in Focus, an associate editor of Peace Review, a contributing editor of Tikkun, and co-chair of the academic advisory committee for the International Center on Nonviolent Conflict

Bali Spirit Festival will host a free public concert at the Ubud Soccer Field on Saturday, February 18, 2012 from 5:00 -11:00 p.m. The open-air concert will feature some of Indonesia's best live musical acts, including Bali's award-winning KIS Band.
Part of an ongoing educational campaign to raise public awareness on the HIV epidemic which included the community-wide outreach initiative AYO!Kita Bicara (Let's Talk About) HIV/AIDS.
The fifth in a series of annual concerts sponsored by the Bali Spirit Festival, the musical event is geared towards Balinese audiences.
Last year's event attracted 3,000 people to the Ubud Soccer field.
Using music and dance to raise awareness on the growing threat of HIV/AIDS in Bali, the music and the messages delivered to the thousands expected to attend, the February 18, 2012 event forms a central part of theAYO! Kita Bicara outreach activities.
" We're expecting another great turnout this year," said Wiwi, Coordinator of the Bali Spirit Festival's Community Outreach Programs, "and with an all-Indonesian lineup, we're hoping that more local Balinese will enjoy themselves and pay attention to the serious threat of AIDS here on Bali. Especially youngsters."
The AYO!Kita Bicara's Edu-Spirit Workshop initiative provide educational workshops for hundreds of school-aged teens in 26 schools in 2011 supported an aggressive media campaign to raise awareness about alarming infection growth numbers.
The latest data collected by the Gianyar Commission of AIDS shows the number of people infected with HIV or AIDS has more than doubled in Gianyar, from 181 cases to 405 cases in one year (2010-2011).
In addition to live music from the main stage, the event in Ubud will present art performances, a reproductive health consultation & campaign booth, and a youth expression space. On the main stage, a video screen will share information on HIV & AIDS and footage regarding AYO! Kita Bicara and related organizations and their work in the community. Provided as a free service to the people of Ubud and is financed by the BaliSpirit Festival, the event also enjoys support from Yamaha and Sutra Condoms.
Ayo! Kita Bicara (Let's Talk About) HIV/AIDS is an AIDS awareness initiative which uses innovative school based HIV prevention and education to support high school students in Bali's most at risk areas.
Ayo's! school education activities represent a fresh and innovative effort to stop the alarming spread of HIV and AIDS in Bali, as well as to curb discrimination against Balinese victims of HIV and AIDS and their families.

Ireland wiser in Twenty20 - Simmons
Phil Simmons, Ireland's coach, believes his side are wiser going in to the third edition of the ICC World Twenty20 than they were in last summer's competition. For Ireland the trip back to Jamaica also allows them to recapture memories of their 2007 World Cup campaign when they famously beat Pakistan to progress to the Super Eights, and Simmons was hopeful they could pull off a few more upsets.
"I think it's easier to pull off a shock in Twenty20 because recovery time is less than in 50 overs," said Simmons. "We have played that little bit more Twenty20 than we had going into the last World Cup - so we are slightly wiser about Twenty20 cricket. That has to be a good thing."
Ireland have maintained consistent performances in recent times despite a number of high profile retirements and injuries, having lost players of the ilk of Eoin Morgan and Ed Joyce to England, and with Boyd Rankin - who is also on England's radar after being included in the ECB's England Performance Programme - sidelined since January with a stress fracture to his right foot. Yet they have the likes of veteran Trent Johnston, who captained during the World Cup, and his successor William Porterfield, as well as players with county cricket experience.
"It's nice (for me) to be playing in the West Indies and for the players to be taking on England too," Simmons said. "But this is the group we would have taken too; we are happy with that. From our point of view, it is about trying to improve our performance every time we take on teams at this level - and Twenty20 is no different. It is a format we are not experienced in, but we have to keep picking things up as we go and make sure we use them."
Ireland's preparations ahead of the tournament have not been too successful. They won just one of six tour games, lost an ODI to West Indies, and won one of two warm-up Twenty20 matches. Against the backdrop of calls in certain quarters to push for Ireland's Test status, Simmons did not feel there was added pressure on the team. "Yes, the pressure is on; but that is inevitable on these occasions," he said. "The stakes are always high, whenever you are taking on these full member top teams with a chance to show you are improving. It's not something we even think about. We just go out to play as well as we can and make sure we take our opportunities."
Ireland have been grouped with West Indies and England during the initial phase of the World Twenty20, which starts on April 30.

Babylonian Reciprocals (Base 60)
Date: 04/08/99 at 13:19:43 From: Sam Bobek Subject: Babylonian division (base 60) Hello, I am a student at Oregon State University, and am currently working on ancient mesopotamian mathematics. I have come across a stumbling point though, in the area of division. In order to divide, they used reciprocals (a/b = a*(1/b)). The problem is that I don't have the tables they used to "cheat," so I have to determine the value of the reciprocal. The fraction that I have to rationalize is 1/(30;4). The actual division problem is (38,9;16)/(30;4). If you could help me out, it would be greatly appreciated.
Date: 04/09/99 at 09:04:50 From: Doctor Rick Subject: Re: Babylonian division (base 60) Hi, Sam, This is an interesting topic! I wish I knew more about it ... I believe your notation is that a semicolon separates the ones from the one-sixtieths, so your number 30;4 is 30 + 4/60, or 451/15. The reciprocal you are looking for is 15/451. However, I suspect the Babylonian reciprocal tables would have had only integers. From what I have read, for instance in the MacTutor History of Mathematics archive Web site at http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/HistoryTopics.html - look for Babylonian and Egyptian mathematics - it looks as if the Babylonians would not even have all the integers in their table; only those whose only prime factors are 2, 3, and 5. This is because only these numbers would have terminating reciprocals. If you know more about how the Babylonians worked, I'd like to hear it! I can only guess how they would divide by 30;4. Perhaps they did the analog of what I tell students to do in base 10: multiply numerator and denominator by 10 until the denominator is an integer. This (with 60 instead of 10) would transform your problem into (38,9,16)/(30,4). The denominator is now 30*60+4 = 1804. Unfortunately, 1804 = 2^2 * 11 * 41. It would not be in the Babylonians' table of reciprocals (if I understand correctly). Looking in my table of factors and primes, I find that the nearest number whose only prime factors are 2, 3, and 5 is 1800. Since 1800 = 3600/2, the reciprocal of 1800 is 2/3600, or (;0,2). But of course this corresponds to approximating 30;4 in your problem by just 30. You were probably hoping to do better than this. The next thing to do would be to try multiples of 1804 and see if any of them lie closer to a number in our table. But my factor table only goes up to 2000, so I'm stuck. So let's try to do better than I think the Babylonians would have done. Let's find the reciprocal of 15/451, as you asked. I won't attempt to figure out how the Babylonians might have done it, since they probably wouldn't have tried. We start by multiplying 15/451 by 60; the integer part of this is the 1/60's place: 60 * 15 / 451 = 1 + 449/451 ==> 1/60 + ... If we multiply the fractional part remaining by 60, the integer part of this is the 1/60^2 place: 60 * 449 / 451 = 59 + 331/451 ==> 59/60^2 + ... Let's just go one more place: 60 * 331 / 451 = 44 + 16/451 ==> 44/60^3 + ... Our answer is: 1/(30;4) = 15/451 = 1/60 + 59/60^2 + 44/60^3 + ... = ;1,59,44,... You can see that this is just a bit less than ;2, which is 1/30. If you wanted, you could work out the exact repeating sexagesimal by continuing until the same remainder appears twice. I hope this helps. - Doctor Rick, The Math Forum http://mathforum.org/dr.math/

An Acupuncture Point Locator Stimulator
What Is An Acupuncture Point Locator & Stimulator?
The acupuncture point locator stimulator is really not an "acupuncture point finder", but because in the health care field that is the generally accepted meaning of acupuncture points that we accept the term. Acupuncture points are specific points on our body defined by a location using anatomical terms, with that term being "cun". To stay specific for each patient that cun measurement is set by the specific distance of the space between joints on the finger. That varies patient to patient but for the acupuncturist there is definity for needle insertion and stimulation.
An acupuncture point locator stimulator is a device that emits a small electrical charge from the device into the body and then measures the specific resistance of the point on the device, generally about the size of a nib on a ball point pen. It reality it's a glorified "ohm meter" that you see used by anyone who works around electricity and needs to know if a wire is electrifed or not and needs to measure if a substance will conduct electricity. When the human body is injured or is in pain there will be many small points that are very resistant or conductive to electricity. It is not hocus pocus but a very well defined spot which can be measured and quantified clinically. The purpose of the point locator is to find those points which correspond to the pain the patient is experiencing and stimulate that point to reduce the pain. The general treatment time is 3-5 minutes on the point and then measure it again and the digital feature of the device will show an increase in resistance or a decrease in conduction.
Once a conductive point is found the device will do at least 1 of the 3 things and the better devices do all 3 to enable the patient/clinician to treat using one hand with the point stimulator.
- A light will flash or become brighter,
- A sound is emitted and once points are found that are more conductive the sound level increases so the clinician will know it's one of the better, more conductive points,
- A digital meter is on the locator to measure and show the readout of the degree of conductivity.
The clinician/patient can move the point of the device around the body and listen/watch/read the level of conduction. When the higher points of conduction are found the patient will actually feel the stimulation. If the point is not very conductive then the patient will not feel any sensation when the device begins stimulation. Over the course of 3-5 minutes the level of sensation is reduced and less sensory sensations as the point of stimulation becomes more resistant. After stimulation in several points the level of pain is gone or significantly reduced.
The point locator stimulator is a very good tool for any patient to have suffering from acute or chronic pain. It is highly desirable for a clinician to use to find the points quickly and accurately to save time rather than search out by feeling the patients skin and affected areas. When using a tens machine it helps locate the best tens electrode placements.

Health bosses have been accused of omitting key facts from an NHS newsletter which they claim is "the only place" the public can get reliable information about a major hospital.
The Lothians health board said its new weekly publication, Inside St John's, has been produced in response to "speculation and fear raising" around the issue of the hospital's future and would keep the public up to date on events at the Livingston facility.
But hospital campaigners and MSPs dubbed the document "propaganda" and said it was at odds with information that had been produced in NHS Lothian's own board papers just days before.
In the official newsletter it is stated that there will be no change for patients attending A&E and it is emphasised that emergency department consultants will remain on call on overnight and at weekends, as they are now.
But there is no mention that the new staffing model, to be introduced from August 7, will see senior trainees withdrawn overnight and replaced with clinical fellows with less experience. A senior health board source said: "This will lead to a poorer service, even if it isn't being advertised as such. The senior A&E trainees are being replaced by inexperienced non-specialist doctors at night.
"There is a feeling that if A&E is not going to be staffed properly, they should shut it properly overnight."
The newsletter also says there will be no change to the hospital's diversion policy, which sees patients with some serious conditions sent to the Royal Infirmary.
While NHS Lothian said its diversion policy will not change next month, the newsletter does not reveal it is to be reviewed in early September, or mention that advice to ambulance crews is to be reissued as emergency patients with conditions including dislocated shoulders will not be treated out-of-hours at St John's.
MSP and Tory health spokesman Jackson Carlaw said: "I don't think patients in West Lothian will be fooled by this propaganda."
Gordon Beurskens, of the Action to Save St John's Hospital group, said: "To read this, you would think there were no problems at the hospital whatsoever. But NHS Lothian's own board papers, published only days before this propaganda sheet, speak for themselves."
Dr David Farquharson, NHS Lothian's medical director, said the newsletter had been developed to "reassure the people of West Lothian that services at the hospital will be maintained and developed".
He added: "We have been clear about our commitment to providing 24/7 services at St John's Hospital and have made a significant investment of both time and money in recruitment and looking at different ways of working to ensure that a safe emergency department service can be maintained in the long term.
"We have agreed a solution that will see an increased number of junior doctors working in the emergency department overnight and we will ensure that they have the appropriate support."
• There are not enough senior trainees to staff wards overnight and from August 7 and they are to be replaced by less experienced workers.
• The diversion policy is set to be reviewed in early September and health chiefs have acknowledged that more people may have to be sent to the Royal Infirmary.
• The staffing situation in paediatrics remains fragile and reliant on expensive locums. A recent report by an influential team suggested that the children's ward could become a short-stay unit.
• "As now, an emergency department consultant will be on-call overnight and at weekends. There will be no change for patients attending A&E during the day, night or at the weekend."
• "An effective diversion protocol has been in place with the Scottish Ambulance Service since 2004, which has already seen the most seriously ill patients taken directly to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh and there will be no change to this."
• "Recruitment efforts to boost children's services at the hospital have proved successful, ensuring a continuation of the service for the foreseeable future."

Leopold Cafe likely to reopen tomorrow
December 01, 2008 18:06 IST
"Our effort is to open up as soon as possible. Maybe, we will start our operation tomorrow only," the cafe's owner Farhang Jehani told PTI.
The cafe had opened on Sunday only to shut again within half an hour due to an unmanageable crowd. "The cafe had to shut down due to the mad rush of the media and unwanted people coming in and shouting slogans," Jehani said.
Jehani refuted some media reports which said that the caf� was forced to shut down by police.
Earlier, on November 26, as some guests at the caf� were enjoying their beer when two terrorists entered and lobbed a grenade.
What followed next was complete mayhem as the AK-47 totting men started firing indiscriminately.
While many bullets hit the patrons of the cafe, some also found their way to the metal doors and thick glasses, paintings and walls leaving behind a trail of blood and testimonies to the horror that visited the cafe that fateful evening.

Manhattan Beach, CA – Substance abuse is prevalent not just in men but also in women. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), 15.8 million women 18 years old and above have used illicit drugs in the year in 2014.

Is there a psychological term people who take on alter egos on the internet or act meaner then they would in person?
yeah

it is called human nature
Yup, yellow bellied BA%$£&Ds, lol.
No such term is needed. As with many people, they are simply insecure.
Well certain personality types might. Its just people expressing anger anonymously because they have repercussions in real life. I know of no particular term for it except for a troll.
Needin' a beatin'.
SOMETIMES, WE CANT DIsc<x>riptION OURSELVES IN REALLY LIFE, BUT IT EASY IN WEB!

I always think whoever without theirselves pic profiles is ******* damn sith! I am not beats any one, but I tell you world amazing facts
Do we really need another law? Aren't there enough laws on the books that we could just enforce? It always sounds like, and starts as a good idea. Then it's eventually bastardized and rights are taken away from the rest of us. Cyber bullying is wrong and only a coward would bully someone online-or offline for that matter. At the same time, though, people need to take responsibility for their own actions. While not every case of cyber bullying is as simple as "turn off the computer", many are. Sure it's inconvenient, annoying and you shouldn't have to-in a perfect world. Of course, in a perfect world, I can walk naked through a dark ally in front of sex offenders and not be touched because it's against the law.
******** is a term that seems to fit
this question should have been posted under humour...so much potential.

The Red Sox already have Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Ryan Lavarnway in place behind the plate next year, but that hasn't stopped them from meeting to consider going after Russell Martin, according to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports.
Honestly, I would be shocked if the Red Sox don't at least kick the tires on Martin. It's not like Salty or Larvarnway are significantly better than Martin anyway and this can do nothing but drive up his asking price — something the Yankees and Red Sox always do to each other.
The Yankees have made it no secret that they want Martin back, but GM Brian Cashman has warned that just because they want him back there is no guarantee they will get him back. There is a very thin free agent catching market this offseason and the only other catcher the Yankees are rumored to be interested in so far is former Braves backup David Ross.
The Yankees offered Martin a three-year, $20 million extension a year ago, but he rejected it. Then he hit under .200 for most of the season which might have hurt his chances at a bigger multi-year offer, but the catching market is so thin that he might get a contract that big or bigger anyway.
