Midfielder to join Bidwell at League One Brentford.
Adam Forshaw
Midfielder Adam Forshaw is poised to join Brentford on a month's loan.
The 20-year-old has been in good form for the Club's reserve side this season and has also made the first-team bench.
Now, pending the completion of paperwork, he will head to Griffin Park in search of some precious senior experience.
Forshaw's fellow Blues Academy graduate, Jake Bidwell, has enjoyed a successful loan stint with Uwe Rosler's League One Bees and Forshaw will join him at the club until March 20.
Reserve team boss Alan Stubbs has been full of praise for the way Forshaw has performed in recent weeks and he was again a top performer in Tuesday's 1-1 draw against Liverpool in the mini derby.
Stubbs is now keen to see him reap the benefits of exposure to senior football, as so many of his peers have this term.
The reserve team boss said: "Adam has done really well for us lately. It'll be great for him to go out and he deserves the chance to show what he can do. If there's one lad in the team I wanted to try and get out on loan it was Adam."
As well as Bidwell, Luke Garbutt (Cheltenham), Jose Baxter and James Wallace (both Tranmere), Aristote Nsiala (Accrington), Joao Silva (Vitoria Setubal) and Shane Duffy (Scunthorpe) have all benefitted from loan spells away from Goodison this term.

Danielle Willard's parents on Wednesday filed a wrongful death suit against West Valley City and the officers who shot and killed their daughter, a shooting that ignited a chain of events that has roiled the police in Utah's second-largest city.
Melissa Kennedy and Frederick Willard filed the lawsuit in federal court in Salt Lake City. The complaint, which also alleges various civil rights violations, does not specify how much they're seeking in damages.
The suit described Willard's death "unjustified and senseless," and that the shooting was "unrelated to any legitimate law enforcement purpose."
"In my mind that was murder," Kennedy said in an interview Wednesday.
West Valley City Deputy Police Chief Mike Powell declined comment, saying the department does not discuss pending litigation.
Kennedy said she doesn't believe West Valley police have been honest about what happened that day, when police say the undercover detectives shot at Willard, 21, after she backed her car into Cowley and knocked him to the ground. Part of the reason for the suit is so all the evidence can be presented in a court for a jury to decide, she said. Seven months after the shooting, the public — including Kennedy and the rest of her family — still don't have a complete picture, she said.
"It's the only way that people are going to know what happened to her and why," Kennedy said.
Kennedy said she also hopes her daughter's death will spark changes in how West Valley and other police forces in Utah handle officer-involved shootings.
"My hope is to change the way they do business," she said. "I want to see a big change."
West Valley City police narcotics detectives Shaun Cowley and Kevin Salmon shot 21-year-old Willard on Nov. 2 outside an apartment complex. In March, the police department issued a news release saying the detectives believed they saw Willard buying drugs. When they approached her Subaru Forester, she put it in reverse, striking Cowley. Both detectives fired.
The department's routine investigation of the shooting led to the discovery that the narcotics unit as a whole had a number of problems, including mishandling of evidence, booking evidence without proper documentation — as well as the possibility of missing drugs and money. The city disbanded the unit in December. The Salt Lake County District Attorney's Office and federal prosecutors have dismissed more than 100 cases associated with the unit.
Besides the detectives, both of whom are on leave, the lawsuit also names Lt. John Coyle, who was Cowley and Salmon's supervisor, and former police chief Thayle "Buzz" Nielsen as defendants.
Coyle is also on leave as an investigation of the narcotics unit continues. Neilsen retired earlier this year due to health problems.
"West Valley City continued the employment of Cowley and Salmon and allowed little to no supervision of these officers in spite of the fact that these officers had prior citizen complaints for misconduct," the lawsuit reads. "[Coyle] was a lieutenant... and allowed the rampant corruption, as well as participated in the corruption within the department, which all led to the death of Danielle Willard."
Willard's family and friends have protested outside West Valley City Hall and the Capitol demanding answers as the district attorney's office continues to investigate whether the shooting was justified. Some held signs implying a cover up — an allegation police have strongly denied.
But in early April, the FBI confirmed it was formally joining investigations into that narcotics unit to determine whether detectives broke any laws and if there was a cover-up after the Willard shooting.
Attorneys representing Kennedy have argued before the Salt Lake County Council that documents related to the shooting should be released under Utah's public record's laws. District Attorney Sim Gill's office had denied the request on the grounds that the information is protected because of the ongoing investigation and that, in any case, the records belong to West Valley City and Kennedy's attorneys are asking the wrong entity for them.
Gill does not expect to wrap their probe into the shooting until at least July. His office usually turns an officer-involved shooting case in 10 days, but he's noted the plethora of side issues linked to the complicated case as cause for delay.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Congressman Randy Neugebauer says it's time for conservatives to regain control. His plan includes ousting democrat Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House. To do so, Neugebauer pledged $250,000 to help conservatives from other districts win their campaigns. Money will come from his campaign as well as fund raisers.
Pam Brink with the Lubbock County Democratic Party says an extreme conservative message is no longer playing out across America, and she feels Pelosi is not the problem. "I think that she works very well with people who are willing to negotiate," Brink said.
She called Neugebauer's announcement Tuesday somewhat egotistical. "I think it's interesting that Representative Neugebauer is so confident about the extreme conservatism of his own district that he is willing to take his campaign money and invest it in other places as if he doesn't need it at home," Brink said.
"These are drastic times. These are times to take action. Many of us are mad; I'm mad, but it doesn't do any good just to be mad. We're mad and we're going to do something about it," Neugebauer said.
He says people don't want the government to tell them what to do, and feels Pelosi has shut out democracy. That's why he pledged to help true conservatives around the nation win their campaigns. "I had people come up to me and say I want to give to this cause. So, I think when the people are so motivated right now, they're going to rally around this cause," Neugebauer said.
Neugebauer will go to Hobbs, NM Thursday to campaign for Steve Pearce who is running for congress.

Well, then, what if we divorced the fossil fuel industry, and, over the next two decades, transitioned entirely to wind, water and solar energy while, at the same time, reducing our per capita energy consumption by half. Would that work? In fact that's the only course that gives us a fighting chance.

Who makes the best French fries in America? Well there's no ONE answer to that question. But Travel + Leisure magazine has pulled together a list of the top 25 fry dishes from around the country. Chances are good there's an amazing fry somewhere near you. Click through their slideshow to see if one of your favorites is listed.
What were their "Best" fries criteria, though? There are so many different kinds of fries now, I'm amazed they were able to narrow down the list to just 25. They quote fry "expert" and blogger Glenn Walker, who says, "The best fries are made from fresh-cut potatoes and double-fried, which adds crispness." But that's just how you make the best fries. What about the eaters -- how do you know when you're eating a PERFECT French fry? Here's what I think are the five secrets to French fry genius.
1. Crispness. I think this is one of the most important qualities of a fry. It should be crisp, not limp, and there should be some substance to that crunch.
2. Potato taste. You know what's missing from a lot of French fries? The taste of potato! I love all kinds of mix-ins and flavorings (ooh, especially the champagne-coated fries at Denver's Bistro Vendôme, or the Cajun spices in Five Guys fries). But still, underneath everything, you should still be able to taste fresh potato.

3. Cooked just right. Not burned. Not underdone. It's kind of obvious, I know, and yet still so easy to get wrong.
4. Soft on the inside. I like fries that are almost fluffy on the inside. Isn't it sad when you bite into a French fry and the potato inside is still kind of half-cooked and slimy?
5. Magic fairy dust. You can meet all of the above criteria, but the BEST French fries just have something special about them -- something you can't even describe, but that makes you inexplicably happy. You just know it when you taste it.
What do you think makes a perfect French fry?

checkers and arby's (basically any seasoned french fries but them two more so)
I'm in Denver and I have to say those fries are amazing, so are the ones they fry in duck fat and cover in truffle and parmesan!
J. Alexander's. Hardee's. Red Robin. (regular or sweet potato.) Rally's/Checker's. Just some of my fave's.
Red Robin's sweet tater fries are heaven to me!
All, as long as somebody else, fries them. Frying, is to messy, for me to do it. I don't like cleaning up all the grease o the stove.

|C. × limon
|Citrus × limon, often given as C. limon (L.) Burm.f.
The lemon (Citrus × limon) is a small evergreen tree native to Asia, and the tree's ellipsoidal yellow fruit. The fruit is used for culinary and non-culinary purposes throughout the world, primarily for its juice, though the pulp and rind (zest) are also used in cooking and baking. The juice of the lemon is about 5% to 6% citric acid, which gives lemons a sour taste. The distinctive sour taste of lemon juice makes it a key ingredient in drinks and foods such as lemonade.Contents
The origin of the lemon is a mystery, though it is thought that lemons first grew in Southern India, northern Burma, and China. A study of the genetic origin of the lemon reported that it is a hybrid between sour orange and citron.
Lemons were known to the Jews of Jerusalem, who, according to Josephus, pelted an errant high priest with them during a festival in the 90s BC, although Jewish tradition maintains that this was done with citrons, not lemons. They entered Europe near southern Italy no later than the 1st century AD, during the time of Ancient Rome. However, they were not widely cultivated. They were later introduced to Persia and then to Iraq and Egypt around 700 AD. The lemon was first recorded in literature in a 10th-century Arabic treatise on farming, and was also used as an ornamental plant in early Islamic gardens. It was distributed widely throughout the Arab world and the Mediterranean region between 1000 and 1150.
The first substantial cultivation of lemons in Europe began in Genoa in the middle of the 15th century. The lemon was later introduced to the Americas in 1493 when Christopher Columbus brought lemon seeds to Hispaniola on his voyages. Spanish conquest throughout the New World helped spread lemon seeds. It was mainly used as an ornamental plant and for medicine. In the 19th century, lemons were increasingly planted in Florida and California.
In 1747, James Lind's experiments on seamen suffering from scurvy involved adding lemon juice to their diets, though vitamin C was not yet known.
The origin of the word lemon may be Middle Eastern. One of the earliest occurrences of "lemon" appears in a Middle English customs document of 1420–1421. The word draws from the Old French limon, thence the Italian limone, from the Arabic laymūn or līmūn ليمون, and from the Persian līmūn لیمو, a generic term for citrus fruit, which is a cognate of Sanskrit निम्ब (nimbū, "lime").Growing lemonsA lemon tree in Corsica
Lemons are often grafted to more vigorous rootstocks.Varieties
The Bonnie Brae is oblong, smooth, thin skinned and seedless; mostly grown in San Diego County.
The Bush lemon tree, a naturalized lemon, grows wild in subtropical Australia. It is very hardy, and has a thick skin with a true lemon flavor; the zest is good for cooking. It grows to about 4 m in a sunny position.
The Eureka grows year-round and abundantly. This is the common supermarket lemon, also known as "Four seasons" (Quatre Saisons) because of its ability to produce fruit and flowers together throughout the year. This variety is also available as a plant to domestic customers.
The Femminello St. Teresa, or Sorrento is native to Italy. This fruit's zest is high in lemon oils. It is the variety traditionally used in the making of limoncello.
The Jhambiri (C. jhambiri), also known as rough lemon and bush lemon, has a rough skin, lemon yellow exterior and a very sour pulp. It is widely used as a rootstock in South Asia.
The Lisbon is a good quality bitter lemon with high juice and acid levels, the fruits of Lisbon are very similar to Eureka. The vigorous and productive trees are very thorny, particularly when young.
The Meyer lemon is a cross between a lemon and possibly an orange or a mandarin, and was named after Frank N. Meyer, who first discovered it in 1908. Thin-skinned and slightly less acidic than the Lisbon and Eureka lemons, Meyer lemons require more care when shipping and are not widely grown on a commercial basis. Meyer lemons have a much thinner rind, and often mature to a yellow-orange color. Meyer lemons are slightly more frost-tolerant than other lemons.
The Ponderosa lemon is more cold-sensitive than true lemons; the fruit are thick-skinned and very large. It is likely a citron-lemon hybrid.
The Variegated Pink is a varietal of the eureka or lisbon cultivars with variegated patterns in the foliage and the rinds of immature green fruit. Upon maturing to yellow, the variegated pattern recedes in the fruit rind. The flesh and juice are pink or pinkish-orange instead of yellow.
The Verna is a Spanish variety of unknown origin.
The Yen Ben is an Australasian cultivar.Culinary usesLemon Pickle
Lemon juice, rind, and zest are used in a wide variety of food and drink. Lemon juice is used to make lemonade, soft drinks, and cocktails. It is used in marinades for fish, where its acid neutralizes amines in fish by converting them into non-volatile ammonium salts, and meat, where the acid partially hydrolyzes tough collagen fibers, tenderizing the meat, but the low pH denatures the proteins, causing them to dry out when cooked. Lemon juice is frequently used in the United Kingdom to add to pancakes, especially on Shrove Tuesday.
Lemon juice is also used as a short-term preservative on certain foods that tend to oxidize and turn brown after being sliced, such as apples, bananas and avocados, where its acid denatures the enzymes that cause browning and degradation.
Lemon juice and rind are used to make marmalade and lemon liqueur. Lemon slices and lemon rind are used as a garnish for food and drinks. Lemon zest, the grated outer rind of the fruit, is used to add flavor to baked goods, puddings, rice and other dishes.
Preserved lemons are a part of Moroccan cuisine. They are also one of the main ingredients in many Indian cuisines. Either lemon pickle or mango pickle is part of everyday lunches in Southern India.
The leaves of the lemon tree are used to make a tea and for preparing cooked meats and seafoods.Other usesLemon (Citrus limon) essential oil in a clear glass vialIndustrial
Lemons were the primary commercial source of citric acid prior to the development of fermentation-based processes.As a cleaning agent
The juice of the lemon may be used for cleaning. A halved lemon dipped in salt or baking powder is used to brighten copper cookware. The acid dissolves the tarnish and the abrasives assist the cleaning. As a sanitary kitchen deodorizer the juice can deodorize, remove grease, bleach stains, and disinfect; when mixed with baking soda, it removes stains from plastic food storage containers. The oil of the lemon's peel also has various uses. It is used as a wood cleaner and polish, where its solvent property is employed to dissolve old wax, fingerprints, and grime. Lemon oil and orange oil are also used as a nontoxic insecticide treatment.
A halved lemon is used as a finger moistener for those counting large amounts of bills, such as tellers and cashiers.Medicinal
Lemon oil may be used in aromatherapy. Researchers at The Ohio State University found that lemon oil aroma does not influence the human immune system, but may enhance mood. The low pH of juice makes it antibacterial, and in India, the lemon is used in Indian traditional medicines Siddha Medicine and Ayurveda.Other
One educational science experiment involves attaching electrodes to a lemon and using it as a battery to produce electricity. Although very low power, several lemon batteries can power a small digital watch. These experiments also work with other fruits and vegetables. Lemon juice is also sometimes used as an acid in educational science experiments.Lemon alternatives
Many plants taste or smell similar to lemons.
In 2010 India topped the production list with about 16% of the world's overall lemon and lime output, followed by Mexico (~14.5%), Argentina (~10%) and Brazil (~8%).2005 lemon producer countries
|United States
|Source: UN Food & Agriculture Organization
The average lemon contains approximately 3 tablespoons (50 mL) of juice. Lemons and limes have particularly high concentrations of citric acid, which can constitute as much as 8% of the dry weight of these fruits (about 47 g/L in the juices); the juice of the lemon is about 5% to 6% citric acid. These values vary depending on the cultivar and the circumstances in which the fruit was grown.
Lemons left unrefrigerated for long periods of time are susceptible to mold.A bee on a Meyer lemon flower

We always have a pinata at our birthday parties. It's something my parents always did for me when I was growing up, and it just wouldn't feel like a birthday celebration without one. I found a darling 2-shaped pinata at the local discount party store--only $10! But it was rainbow striped, and didn't match my party at all.
Did that stop me? Of course not! It's easy to re-decorate a pinata to fit your party theme.
To make a ruffled, frilled, fabulous pinata like this one, you'll need:
Make more crepe paper ruffles (a contrasting color works especially well for the flower). Use a glue gun to glue the crepe paper ruffles to the felt circle, starting at the outside and working in to the center.
Once the flower is done, glue it to the pinata.
Beautiful pinatas are not only a great activity, but a dramatic, largedecorativeelement at any party. It's well worth the little bit of effort to make your pinata match the theme. It's even fun watching all that work get destroyed!
The smiles make it all worth it!
Adorable-ness!!! I can't wait to try this! : )
Theme by Danetsoft and Danang Probo Sayekti inspired by Maksimer

It went pretty well except for the "service" at the end of the reunion in which they asked everyone to raise their hands if they believed the Bible was "the word of god" and I was probably the only person who didn't raise my hand. I wanted to roll my eyes about them even asking such a question but didn't. Luckily no one commented about it and didn't seem to notice except for DH's uncle who is a pastor and who was giving the "service." He said he would speak directly to those who didn't raise their hands (i.e. Me) and afterwards kind of gave me the cold shoulder. Oddly enough, DH didn't even go to th service because he drank so much last night with his family that he had a horrible hangover and was vomiting. Also it is odd that the uncle who gave the service is a former pimp and drug dealer who ignored all his kids except the youngest who is only 15. He is 73. I love DH's family but they if they start trying to evangelize me due to my honesty at their feel-good-us-against-them-Christian-soldier-family-reunion-service, I see problems in the future.
But other than that we had a great time. The reunion was at an indoor waterpark and I got to go and pick up my nephew from Ohio for a month in the same trip, since the reunion was in Columbus this year. He is excited to spend a month with us this summer as he has never been outside of Toledo.
We are excited about him being here as well but I found out before picking him up that he cannot read. He is 8 years old and had to be held back in kindergarten and they are probably going to hold him back again for the next school year. His mother was not clear on that, and she is a liar so I really don't believe anything she says anyway. All my nephews are such wonderful little boys. The one who is visiting me is actually one of my favorites because he is not a complainer like the oldest and is really friendly, affectionate (we call him the greeter of the family as he hugs everyone who comes into the house), funny, silly, and just a great kid all around. He told me that kids make fun of him at school because he can't read and the teacher talks about him as well and he hates school because of it. I am going to go and get some Bob's Books and try to get him through the 1st and 2nd sets to see if he can improve over the month this summer. His mom said she thinks he has a reading disability, and maybe he does but she NEVER reads to any of her kids. The 2 older boys have a different mom who read to them a lot and made sure they were on track in school. The oldest is actually a grade ahead in school. The mom of this nephew though is just, really I can't even describe her because I do feel bad for her. She says she is stupid and she never did well in school and she thinks her son may have taken after her. I asked if she had him assessed for any learning disabilities and she says he should be in the next school year but really she does not work, she doesn't even do housework and she leaves the kids at home with the older boys (my brother has custody of all 4 of his sons) to watch all day. She really doesn't interact with them at all but she buys them all kinds of crap and spends tons of money to get her hair and nails done. I don't see why she wouldn't hire a tutor or something to help her son out or spend some money and get him assessed (which she wouldn't have to do anyway since they are on Medicaid and the school system will do it for free). It is really aggravating. I am hoping to at least get him to read simple books before he leaves though but without the continued practice, I don't think it will make much of a difference.
Erin I am so glad your nephew will be with you this summer. Reading that the kids make fun of him just breaks my heart.
ETA: Chrissy! I really do think I am strict, just in a nice way lol

Josh doesn't respond to timeouts either. If we send him to his room he gets all upset for a couple minutes and then we hear him playing up there. We send him up for 4-5 minutes, per the rule of 1 minute per year, since he's 4 and a half we're trying to eke it up to 5 minutes but it really doesn't do anything except give DH and me a breather for a minute and make Josh forget what he was upset about to begin with, which I can't decide if that's good or bad.
Have fun with your nephew Erin-maybe you can give him some of the attention he needs.
I totally busted dbf b****ing about me to his friend this weekend. It all started because my bff had planned to come and spend the day here with her two kids yesterday. Then she texted me in the morning and wondered if I'd want to meet halfway at her cousins and go to this public pool. Well I wasn't feeling comfortable taking all three kids by myself since Savana and Kai don't have much experience in the water and cannot swim at all and I'd obviously have Sawyer in my arms the whole time. So I asked dbf to come and of course he was all pissy about it. He ended up saying he would go only if we leave when he is ready to leave. He then went on to say that whenever we go somewhere and he's ready to leave that he tells me and I just ignore him or say we are not ready yet. This is often true. I think it's rude and selfish of him to say, "Let's go. I'm ready to leave.", when it is clear that the children and I are enjoying ourselves and not ready to leave at all. He would get bored at the pool in like an hour no doubt and the kids could stay for at least twice that. I tried explaining to him that when you are a parent you suck it up so your kids can enjoy themselves.
Anyway, my friend and I decided just to stick with the original plan and she came over. Dbf was out on the deck with his friend and the ac was on so the doors were all shut but when I went to the kitchen I could read his lips and he was clearly talking about the discussion him and I had about my ignoring his desire to leave places. He was all animated and angry acting about it. I then opened the door and asked him what time he wanted to eat and his face was hilarious when he heard my voice. So I came back in and told my friend and within seconds he had followed me in and started offering to make lunch and totally kissing my arse because he didn't know if I had heard him or what. My friend and I were laughing so hard about it. Finally I casually asked him when no one else was around if his buddy had any groundbreaking advice on dealing with my *****iness. He stuttered around for a minute and I just laughed and walked out of the room. He spent the day making it up to me and was great with playing games with the kids so my friend and I could relax so it was for the best I'm thinking. When the day was over he gave me a kiss and said, "I love you and I'm sorry. I swear I don't talk **** about you."

Erin, I'm so glad your nephew has you in his life. I'm sure his summer with you will do him a world of good. It will give him a start and probably open up the door to the joy of reading. What could be better than that? I just love you and how you look out for all the kids in your life. My heart ached for him too when I read that the kids tease him and even his teacher talked about him. Poor boy. You'll show him that not everyone is like that and reading isn't a scary thing. I hope his school does do the assessment next year for him.
Bridget, you always amaze me with your approach to your dbf. I try to envision myself in the scenarios you describe and I'm afraid Rich would have been knocked flat backward out of his chair if it were us in that situation. I feel very lucky that even when I am an unreasonable b1tch Rich doesn't worry about it. He certainly doesn't complain about me to anyone. Ever. I love that about him. I wish I could say the same about me never complaining about him.
I guess that is just so small compared to some of the crap her pulls. I know he needs to vent sometimes too. Just such a shame he's always wrong.
If I had heard him call me names or say anything hurtful it would have been different. But from what I could tell he was just telling his friend what he told me.
But now that I have that hindsight it is starting to make sense to me that this friend acts a little scared of me. I wonder what else dbf has said.
Jesi's counselor actually suggested that if Rich couldn't do counseling that he get someone outside of our family that he could vent to. It is mentally healthy-as long as they're not being abusive, like you said.
The worst thing Rich will say about me is that I'm a handful. One time my brother said, "I don't know how you put up with it" after I'd had a really bad stinking day (this was years ago) and Rich just said that it didn't bother him because he knew I didn't mean it and that I once I got over it whatever it was was behind me. Except for the drinking I don't really nag about anything. I don't think. I'll have to ask Rich though for sure
Right now I'm feeling like I've been witchy, but I expected it because the whole house thing really stresses me out. Rich will say something and I get all worked up. I feel like he wants to take the long, hard way to accomplish something and we're already running behind schedule. I'm trying to keep it together, but...meh, sometimes I'm not successful.
Today he talked about taking the cupboards out, primering & painting them, then putting them back. I'm like, why? We're getting brand new ones in a few months. We're going to try and buy a used sink for the kitchen as well and I already got the new (cheap) faucet to use in the meantime. He was going to install it today...I was like why? I'm buying a different kitchen sink this week. Can't we continue using the bathroom for water till I get a different sink and then install the faucet?
I found a fridge for really cheap-just to get us through. It opens on the wrong side. He talked about buying new handles and hinges to make it open the other way. Again, why? It's just 6-8 months!!
The worst one-the one that finally made me start ranting at him-was when he suggested that we buy an old, used furnace in questionable condition and spend time (and probably money) installing it. I'm like...WHY!!!!!?????? If we can't repair the one we have, we're already planning on just using those oil filled radiators through this winter and we'll have a brand new one installed next spring. WHY would he add all that work to the list of things we have to do? He doesn't know how to install a furnace. I'm sure it would take more than 1 day...and he has zero vacation days left to use.
He's making me freaking crazy. That's when I said, "I feel like I always have to be on top of you to keep you on track" but he only caught the 'on top of you' part and had to respond with, "I wish you were" with that look. Unfortunately, it made me lol and then I wasn't so pissed any more.
Erin, that breaks my heart about your nephew. Even if you can't get him reading (and I hope you can), I really hope you can teach him to love reading and give him a good example of a grown-up who loves to read. I get so sad when I see kids whose mothers are more concerned about themselves than their kids.
Bridget, I would be so pissed if I caught DH *****ing about me!
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
LOL at your DBF Bridget. That would have cracked me up too actually. Luckily DH is not one for words when it comes to our relationship outside of b!tching to me so I don't worry about catching him talking ill of me to others. I don't doubt that he does or has though because he can get pretty chatty when he is drunk. But from what I hear he always compliments me with his drunk-speak in more ways than I would like actually.
DH has lots of gripes about me too. He thinks I am too non-chalant about things, hardly anything gets to me and he doesn't like that because he likes to bug me sometimes (for some reason unknown to me), he thinks I am vain because I compliment myself a lot (but no one else gives me compliments so I give them to myself), he thinks I'm not "womanly" because I'm not into fashion or getting my hair done or painting my toenails. He thinks I have a "smart mouth" (I tell him thanks for that compliment). He thinks I am too soft with the kids, other times he thinks I am too tough (he is confused). I don't really listen to much of his b!tching anymore and it is pretty amusing a lot of times the things he comes up with. Oh, and he thinks I'm a know-it-all even though I assure him that I only know a bunch of useless information, which is what I truly believe about my random knowledge of random subjects. He also always thinks I have some sort of ulterior motive behind a lot of my actions that have to do with "getting him." This is the funniest of all to me. He got really mad when I told him he really isn't all that important and I don't spend my time sitting around, fingers pressed in evil anticipation of watching my devious plans unfold regarding making his life miserable. I actually laughed until I cried when he told me this. He said it hurt his feels, my laughter, and the comment that I don't think of him as much as he thinks I do and he is not the most important thing in my life.
Chrissy, that is hilarious about you being on top of him!!! My DH would have totally focused on that as well. Such dirty minds.
Well played, Bridget. Well played.
Erin, the pastor gave you the "cold shoulder"?!? That was his way of speaking with you about not raising your hand? Way to spread the word, buddy.
I confess, right now, I am in bed with the most adorable little button of a 1 year old baby girl right now. My girlfriend is visiting in town with her baby, and had a terrible stomach pain similar to an infection she had 6 weeks ago. DH took her to the ER. She co-sleeps with her little one, and we co-sleep with Bodhi after 3 am. So I'm with the little ball of cuddliness right now and am just keeping my fingers crossed Bodhi doesn't wake up until Steve gets back. I don't know what I'll do if I have two crying little ones to handle on my own.
I feel like a bit of an A-hole, actually, because my first reaction to my friend's onset of sickness was to be annoyed with her. I thought she was exaggerating for the attention. I was sort of annoyed by her company to be honest, because, even though we're old friends, we're not like-minded in a lot of ways. She is very princess-like, and frail, acts helpless, and has a passive aggressive way of getting people to do things for her. Plus, she's always going on about how she has the cutest baby in the world, and how much everyone oohs and aahs over the baby, which is very offputting no matter how adorable her little one is. And she's been barely hiding her annoyance with Bodhi and his toddler energy when comes anywhere near her precious little one. We went on this walk to the beach today, and she got tired on the last hills up to my house and instead of asking for help, said "feel free to push the stroller any time." I almost ignored her statement or said, "ok, I'll feel free." But I am too nice, so I pushed the stroller home for her. It wasn't like I didn't need the exercise anyway. So when she started getting sick, she was doing a lot of moaning, writhing and crouching on the floor, and I had already gotten into bed. I felt like she was trying to make us pay attention to her by being overly dramatic. I even tried to catch Steve's eye a couple times to show him my irritation and mouthed the words "Long night" to him. Now I feel like a jerk. I hope she's ok. I packed Steve an ER support care package before he left, which included cookies, puzzles, magazines and water.
Oh good. And now DH is back, so I can go to sleep. Sweet dreams, all.
Yowzers, Myles. I can understand your annoyance! Especially the part about acting annoyed with Bodhi! Wtf? So, what did they say at the ER?
The doctors say it was an ovarian cyst. She's much better today, and that's good. We're off to go surfing and she'll join us later with the baby. She has to stay longer than planned because a family member passed away, so I feel extra guilty about being irritated.
Aw Myles I can see myself behaving exactly the same way. And honestly, her irritation with Bodhi and her laziness/crabbiness about pushing the stroller uphill doesn't really do anything to make her endearing to anyone. I feel your reactions were totally called for.
Jesi gets those cysts and it has put her to the floor in a ball, so I know they're extremely scary and painful. But that doesn't make Jesi act like a 'baby' the rest of the time. You know what they say about people that cry wolf. She sounds like a needy person, so it would make it hard for anyone to take her seriously when there really is a painful issue going on.
Myles, don't beat yourself up it. She does sound annoying, and it would have been hard to tell she really was sick.
I confess DH and I bought ourselves a joint anniversary gift. It's our 5th anniversary this month (on the 15th) and we usually each get the other a gift. Well, DH has been spending a lot of time on craigslist looking for a stove for our kitchen and he found an estate sale with vintage 1930's furniture. Our house was built in 1938 and we have a table that is art-deco style in the dining room. He found a glass-front cabinet that is just perfect for the room and matches the wood in our dining table. We decided to buy it for each other as our anniversary gift. And, apparently the traditional 5th anniversary gift is supposed to be wood. We also bought two end tables and a mirror to go over our fireplace. I'm so thrilled. It wasn't pocket change, but it was really cheap compared to buying antiques at an antique shop or even reproductions.
Here's the cabinet:
The tables:
The mirror:
They also had a 100 year old Steinway grand piano that I would have loved, but we weren't looking to spend 10K+ on a piano that we have no space for. I really, really wish we could have got the piano, though.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
That's some cool stuff, Mandy! I've always liked older things but my DH insists that everything is new and modern. He's like that with vacations as well-prefers New York City and places like that whereas I like places with lots and lots of history.
Myles, your friend sounds like a case! I don't have many real friends because I just don't deal well with people like that. When I used to work at the office, if anyone ever broke down in tears (which seemed to happen a lot), I would just feel so awkward. I think I'm better and more sympathetic now that I'm a mom, but back then I didn't have the time for stuff like that.
Gwenn, love the new/old stuff. Totally my style.
Myles at the risk of sounding like a cold hearted biatch, try not to feel guilty about being annoyed by your friend. When bad things happen to irritating people it doesn't make them any less irritating, does it?
And as long as I'm on a roll here...I am very annoyed by my neighbor. She is newly divorced and this is her weekend/summer home. She has hired dbf to do some things around her house like putting in some new windows and some landscaping. Now whenever we are outside she's asking him to help her with something. Just now she called because she is stranded on her boat in the middle of the lake and needs a tow. Wtf? I have 2 kids in the bath who need their hair washed, a fussy nonstop nursing baby, and dinner that needs preparing. I told him to tell her no. But he says he can't just leave them stranded and went. I think he should have told her no or she will never figure out she can't just have him at her beckon call. One time last summer we were having a family party on the deck and she had the nerve to come over and ask Mark to fix her toilet. Grrrr.
I have another killer headache so that's not helping my tolerance level.
His time is valuable too. AND it's a holiday. Extra expensive, imo.
I get what you are saying about her asking him to do a ton of irritating things every time he goes outside, but I'm going to play devil's advocate here and say he did the right thing to help her when she was stranded on a lake, so long as she was really stranded. The rest of it, I agree with you.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I hope you had a fun birthday, Christina!
Bridget, I remember you talking about that woman before; it sounds like she needs to have some boundaries set.
As for me, my arthritis has flared up in my wrist and I'm in pain all through the day. I feel like it's so unfair to only be 29 and be suffering with joint pain like this! Any how, that's just me feeling sorry for myself. (I broke down crying a few nights ago because I realized that there hasn't been a day that I have not had some kind of joint pain in a good few months. DH was sympathetic and he thinks the doctors should do more than prescribe pain meds, but I don't think they can do anything else. I might actually look in to accupuncture to see if that helps).
I have to try to tidy the house today while Travis is at daycare and before I go up to school to do my volunteering in the afternoon....so I better log off here to get some things done.
One nice thing though is mom was into bribes. So before going someplace, she would explain what was expected of us....and IF we behaved, we could get something (usually small), go out for a treat, or do something fun like the park or whatever.

If I was a famous author I would publish a book with ten different endings which all went to print with varying degrees of rarity, but not tell the fans about it so that I could watch their confusion as they disagree over how the story ended. Then when they figured it out I would 'come clean', telling them that I had released eleven alternate endings and watch them panic again as they all try to find the last ending.
This is perfect.
that is a masterpiece, Garrus~

Some nights I stay up splashing in my bathtub.
Some nights I bathe in the dark.
Some nights I wish that this water had more bubbles.
Some nights I wish I could dry off.
But I still jump in.
I still take the plunge.
Oh Lord I'm still not sure where I put my sponge.
Where is my sponge? Where is my sponge? Most nights I just use…a washcloth.
This is it boys, this is clean!
What are you dirty for?
Why don't we wash ourselves already?
I take my tips from the Hygiene King.
Saved me from smelling obscene.
Scrub twice as hard so I'm super clean.
But here they come again to drain my tub.
That's alright.
I found a rubber duck in my bath tonight.
Keeps Rachel wondering
who I am, who I am, who I am
Who am I
Well some nights I wish that this bath would end
Cuz I could use a shower for a change
And some nights I'm scared
The water will be too hot again
Some nights I just sink in (I just sink in)
But I still jump in.
I still take the plunge.
Oh Lord I'm still not sure where I put my sponge.
Where is my sponge? Where is my sponge? Most nights I just use…a washcloth.
So this is it. I got naked for this? Washed off all the dirt for this? I miss Andrew and Jack for this?
When I see suds that's all they are.
When I hear the faucet it sounds like a song.
Well that is it guys, bath is done!
Five minutes in and I'm bored again.
An evening of this I'm not sure if anybody understands.
This one is not for those in a hurry
Sorry but I like to take my time
Who the fuck wants to bathe alone
I'd rather have all of fun.
My heart is breaking for the water
Because now it's gotten cold
But then I look into the shiny surface
Man you wouldn't believe
The most amazing things
That can happen to you…
When you're Nate Rueee-ESS-EH-EH-EHHH-ESSS. EHHH-ESS-EHHH…
The other night you wouldn't believe
The bubbles that formed they filled me with glee
I invited you in and we both agreed
It's for the best you wash my back
It's for the best we take turns now
Bless this comment
Amazing .

Accidental Mysteries
Nighttime has always held a powerful and integral place in the arts. Literature abounds with the metaphor of night. Writers and poets use the dark as a foil for mystery, intrigue, evil and as a contrast to light in all its forms. Visual artists — painters and photographers stalk the night for sublime and dramatic contrasts. It is where film noir resides, with loneliness, fear, and the unknown its comfortable companion. With midnight called "the witching hour," it's no wonder it's the preferred time that goblins and haints awaken for their work.

I made this for a weeknight meal for my boyfriend and me. It was amazing and so easy to make. I prepped everything ahead and then just popped it in the oven. The flavors were amazing. He couldn't believe it was a weeknight meal!

I was going to give this one (1) star then decided on two (2) stars as this has potential. I thought there was too much wine in this recipe and it overwhelmed the fish and stuffing flavors. I think if I used less wine it would have been better.. but I'm not sure if I'll make this again. My husband I thought it was a bit bland.

Liability for providing security
Many companies that enter into price-driven contract security agreements mistakenly believe that they are reducing or eliminating their liability for providing security. Many managers also think that general liability insurance covers civil action awards. But some states do no allow insurance companies to pay the punitive damages levied against the insured.
Premises Liability for Third Party Crime
Owners and managers of commercial property (including leased residential properties) can be held liable under civil negligence claims for harm to persons caused by third party crime. For example, the courts held that hotel owners could be held liable where a 19-year old man was shot to death when a gun was fired into a crowd during a party of about 200 guests.
Premises Liability for Third Party Crime
A plaintiff can establish rights as a third-party beneficiary of a security services contract through post orders: the written orders that are set out in the contract to direct the security officers' actions while they are on duty. Post orders usually include set time requirements for patrols as well as instructions regarding how officers are to assist in monitoring access control and keeping unauthorized people off the property to reduce the risk of theft, vandalism, and assault.
Who's Liable Now?
Consider the following scenario: A company has been contracted to provide guard services at a major sports stadium. A season ticket holder, Mr. Smith, attends the season's opening game accompanied by his wife and two children. Seated two rows behind Smith are several intoxicated fans who begin shouting obscenities. At one point, Smith asks them to stop cursing. The parties exchange insults followed by yelling and pushing. The confrontation escalates into a full-blown physical assault on Smith, who is knocked down and injured. Smith files a lawsuit against the stadium, claiming that it was negligent in control of the rowdy crowd. He also names the guard company as a defendant under several legal theories, including that he was owed a duty as a third-party beneficiary of the security service agreement.
Failing to protect its customers
A property owner, including businesses, landlords, and homeowners, may be held legally liable for failing to protect its customers, renters or visitors from violent crime. Inadequate security in the form of insufficient lighting, failure to hire security guards, failure to install or maintain security equipment, failure to monitor security equipment, or negligence by security guards, may create a situation where foreseeable violent crime occurs. An inadequate security lawsuit can help victims and/or their families recover damages due to physical or sexual assault and wrongful death.
Difficult to obtain and discover the information necessary
It is often made very difficult to obtain and discover the information necessary to successfully handle these cases. Large corporations like supermarkets, department stores, pharmacies and other commercial buildings, employ a large staff which is trained to minimize risk by preventing their inspection and maintenance policies and procedures and surveillance from being discovered. Our attorneys are committed to keeping the pressure on these defendants and compelling them to produce all crucial information and documentation.

An Atheist's Perspective on the Inauguration: Enough With all the God Stuff
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Yes. Okay. Pride; hope; history; immense joy; inexpressible relief.
Yes. Sure. Absolutely.
But also this.
I was watching the Inauguration, with pride and hope and history and joy and relief. And the message I kept hearing was, "We are one country. This country belongs to everybody in it. Everybody has a voice. Everybody has a part to play. Everybody's experience matters.
"Everybody -- except you.
"Everybody except you and the roughly 15% of Americans who don't believe in God.
"Not you. You're not part of this. This isn't for you."
Yes, yes, I know. I know what you're about to say. Yes, Obama said the word "non-believers" in his speech. He said, quote:
"For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus — and non-believers."
And yes, that was pretty neat. As far as I know (does anyone know for sure?), this was the first time that a President's inaugural address said anything about non-believers in a positive, inclusive way. I'm not going to underestimate that. He said it, and it was pretty darned cool. A milestone, even.
He said it once... in a speech, one of a series of speeches over the inaugural ceremony, that over and over again hammered home the message, "This is God's country."
From Rick Warren's icky opening invocation:
"Almighty God, our father, everything we see and everything we can't see exists because of you alone. It all comes from you, it all belongs to you. It all exists for your glory. History is your story.
"The Scripture tells us Hear, oh Israel, the Lord is our God; the Lord is one. And you are the compassionate and merciful one. And you are loving to everyone you have made."
"...when we forget you [God], forgive us. When we presume that our greatness and our prosperity is ours alone, forgive us."
"I humbly ask this in the name of the one who changed my life, Yeshua, Isa, Jesus, Jesus (hay-SOOS), who taught us to pray, Our Father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."
Do I need to point out what's wrong with this? Do I need to point out how grotesquely inappropriate it is -- in a massive and public government ceremony, addressed both to and on behalf of a secular nation populated by people of many faiths and many people of no faith -- to assert that everything that happens comes from God and belongs to him? To assert that there's something wrong/ needing of forgiveness about "forgetting" God and claiming our achievements for ourselves? To not only invoke a prayer on behalf of the whole country, but to do so in a specific prayer that comes from his particular religious tradition, in the name of his particular god?
Okay. Moving on. We have the closing benediction from Rev. Joseph Lowery. A much, much better speech than Warren's, and one which, when you take the God stuff out of it, I have little to argue with and a tremendous amount to be inspired by. But we still have this:

I've done my fair share of eye-rolling when I see moms with huge fake breasts. I mean, the risk of surgery alone would be enough to deter me from having an elective cosmetic operation, but I could also think of about 4,000 other things that would be more worthy of spending that kind of money on than new big boobs.
And honestly, are those women really doing it for themselves like they say?
But after four kids and the pregnancy weight gain and weight loss, I have to admit that I now understand why women do it.
When it comes to breast cancer, many of us understand and are willing to accept the fact that a miracle cure may not be in the cards at the moment. With that said, news of any drug that could help patients by stalling the disease so that it doesn't rapidly progress is pretty great. Imagine being able to stop time -- if only for a few months -- while docs continue to work on finding new and additional treatments to combat your disease. Kind of challenges your notion of miraculous, doesn't it?
An experimental breast cancer drug called palbociclib is currently undergoing studies because it reportedly can nearly double the amount of time patients live with the disease without it spreading and getting worse. Here's the skinny on it.
The next time you get annoyed because FedEx or a similar mail carrier has misplaced your package, think of how Marline Van Duyne feels. The 47-year-old, who was diagnosed with breast cancer this year, underwent a preventive double masectomy in Utah last month and then waited, scared for her life, to find out what she would need to do to keep the cancer from returning. Her breast tissue and tumor were transported to a lab that could test it to determine whether chemotherapy would be needed.
Marline waited. And waited. And waited. And the answer didn't come -- because, as it turns out, she says she has reason to believe FedEx lost her breast tissue sample.
From doing tons of squats to pushups galore, we know working out can transform our shapes in mind-bogglingly awesome ways. But there are certain "figure fixers" we're more skeptical about than others. Like those exercises we've been told for eons are supposed to perk up our breasts. Is it really possible?
Well, believe it or not, it is! Experts say that targeted exercises and strengthening the right muscles (the pectoralis major and minor) can enhance your "girls." Here, 10 smart moves to try for perkier breasts and perfected posture ... (Shoot for 8-12 reps and up to 4 sets per move.)
A new study, published this week in the British Medical Journal, revealed that having routine mammograms makes no difference in whether a woman's life is spared from breast cancer. The study followed nearly 90,000 women over a 25-year period. Half of the women were randomly assigned to mammogram testing, and the other half were not and were instructed instead to perform breast exams at home. An identical number of breast cancer deaths was found in each group 25 years later -- mammogram or no mammogram. Researchers found that the only difference was more women who had mammograms were "overdiagnosed" and underwent unnecessary surgeries, radiation, and chemotherapy treatments.
Exactly three weeks after undergoing a double mastectomy, Good Morning America reporter Amy Robach returned to her post in front of the show's cameras yesterday. She then proceeded to sit down with anchors Robin Roberts, George Stephanopoulos, and Josh Elliot and give an uber-personal update on how she's doing in the wake of the serious procedure.
"I am feeling really good," the 40-year-old shared. "Physically, I feel remarkably well. Mentally, it's another challenge because that was phase one ... that's the first step ... but mentally I think is the toughest part of this. There are days where if you really start to let your mind wander, it's really devastating. But you keep your head together, you come into work, you hug your friends, and you're thankful to be where you are with your family and the people who matter."
Wow, her candor and gratitude are incredibly admirable!
Identical twins often share a lot in their lives, but breast cancer isn't the sort of thing we usually think about them both having to endure -- especially not around the same time. But that's exactly what happened to 34-year-olds Kelly McCarthy and Kristen Maurer.
When Kelly was diagnosed in 2011 with triple-negative breast cancer, a hard-to-treat form of cancer whose growth is not fueled by hormones, she was nine months pregnant. Her son was born a week after her diagnosis, and she soon began treatment, chemotherapy, surgery to remove her right breast, and radiation. Only a few months later, Kristen got tested and was diagnosed with a very early-stage cancer in her left breast, according to the AP. It's as heartbreaking as it is hard to believe, right?
While the sisters were obviously devastated for one another upon each diagnosis, they managed to come up with an amazing way to help one another battle the disease ...
I can't even imagine what it would feel like to be a mom who has been diagnosed with breast cancer and wants nothing more than to spend every minute I can hugging, hanging out with, and enjoying the company of my young child. And if I were the young child in this situation, I would want to attach myself to my mom's leg and never let go.
So it's insanely disturbing to discover that Kerri Mascareno, a mom from New Mexico who is battling stage 4 breast cancer, has reportedly been told by her daughter's elementary school to keep far away because the smell from her chemotherapy pills is overwhelming and offensive.
As Amy Robach made the heartbreaking announcement yesterday that she had breast cancer, I sat stunned. I looked at this young, vibrant woman and thought, She's too young. We are, after all, around the same age, and I didn't want to admit that breast cancer could even be a real possibility right now.
There are some people in this world who don't just make lemonade out of lemons, they do everything in their power to ensure as many people as possible get a big, satisfying glassful. Deborah Cohan is one of those women who you really want to be friends with -- a positive person who you know would remind you to look on the bright side of every situation. Minutes before this amazing woman received a double mastectomy, she did something incredible. She -- and her team of doctors and nurses -- got up and had a dance party you have to see to believe. And yes, they were proudly rocking their scrubs.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Some additions/clarifications to BRC heroic bosses:
Rom'ogg Bonecrusher: When he casts quake, everyone should move out of the patches of shaking ground that show up under them. They tick for 8-9k, then erupt with the adds coming out dealing 15-30k. DPS shouldn't need to worry about the adds, tank should pick them up, hold them near the boss, and then when the chains are broken, stun or slow them (earthbind totem?) and they get caught in the boss's skullcracker and die. (there's even an achievement for this)
Corla: Beams should be properly managed and should never have a dragonkin spawn. Dark Command should be interrupted, and as a shaman you can drop Grounding Totem to eat any Dark Command that gets off, avoiding the unnecessary fear.
Karash: He doesn't continually pulse aoe damage, he only does a pulse when he gains a stack of his debuff from the lava. He does not continue to pulse until it wears off. If the debuff is allowed to wear off, the grated area around him erupts with fire that hurts (no one should be standing on the grate) and 3 fire elemental adds spawn. DPS should grab these and kill them far away from the tank because they spawn lava pools when killed that act just like the lava pillar.
Beauty: Her pups can and should be CC'ed (as many as possible). Hex works, but seems to break early for resto shamans. Runty does not join the fight, he stays in the back of the cave.
For Corla, I recommend stacking the debuff to 80 then moving, no matter what. Depending on group makeup, the healer may need to take care of one beam, so it's a good idea to know what to look for. Also, interrupts are a must, and as a shaman wind shear is extremely valuable for that. Healing will be very light unless a mob gets transformed.
If you're going for the achievement on this boss, transform the adds one at a time, and use the calm between adds to regen as much as possible. Also, note that interrupts must continue while the adds are transformed, and the adds must also be interrupted. Make sure someone stays on the boss for interrupts. Stretch out the fight as long as you need - as long as beams are managed 100% correctly there's no rush.
For Karash: Work with your tank to figure out when to use cooldowns and when to let stacks drop. When tanking this with a good healer, I never let the stacks drop, but start rotating cooldowns at around 10 stacks; this is also a good time to blow bloodlust/heroism. If the tank or the healer is less confident, drop the stacks at 5. Don't be standing on the grate when this happens! Note that the adds that spawn will not be tanked and must be killed away from the tank to avoid unintentional stacks. As a healer these adds may make a beeline for you, so stay alive and don't panic. Be ready to move out of the lava puddles they leave when they die. A clutch bind elemental may allow you some breathing time here.

I don't know why they even fought this case.
I don't know why they even fought this case.
I'm not entirely sure how legal fees work in the US, but surely the costs incurred by Glider must significantly outweigh any profits they've made from their extremely niche audience.
I would imagine the bill by now is in the hundred thousands and that the taxpayer won't be the one to foot it.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) _ Emboldened by the legalization of marijuana in two states, pro-marijuana groups will converge on the Oklahoma Capitol and call for fewer restrictions on pot smoking in Oklahoma.
Several pro-marijuana groups have events scheduled at the Capitol on Wednesday and are encouraging like-minded Oklahoma residents to attend. Some of the groups favor the use of medical marijuana, while others are pushing for outright legalization of the drug.
Democratic state Sen. Connie Johnson of Oklahoma City has introduced bills to ease restrictions on marijuana since her election in 2004, but the measures have rarely even been granted a hearing.
Oklahoma has some of the strictest drug laws in the country. A second offense of simply possessing marijuana is a felony crime punishable by prison time.

- Stand straight, breathe deeply and stretch your arms into the air. Lean back slightly, arching your back to really stretch your abs. Lying on your back on the exercise ball will also stretch your abs.
- With your right hand on your hip, lean over your right side and reach your left hand in the air, toward the right. Hold for 10 seconds, repeat and then switch sides. This stretch works your oblique muscles, or the abdominals on the side of your torso, as well as your back.
- Lie on your back, legs outstretched and arms over your head. Breathe in deeply and stretch your arms and legs as far as they will go, feeling your hips and shoulders stretching. Then relax and repeat.
These stretches are a great way to warm up before exercise or to relieve tension after a long day, but any exercise should be combined with cardiovascular work and a healthy diet. Please consult your doctor before starting any exercise program.
Portable in-cab exercise equipment
Bicycle on-the-go
A folding bicycle is a good way to pack a lot of exercise into a small space. Most models unfold in seconds, and they can weigh as little as 19 pounds, perfect for the limited space of the truck cab. Prices range from about $300 to as much as $3,000, depending on the bike you want. Folding bikes come in every style from city cruiser to mountain bike. The Better Bicycle Company's Dahon Jack ($399.95, www.dahon.com) is a rugged 7-speed city bike that folds in five seconds. Montague's CX Comfort Bike ($449, www.montagueco.com) is a full-size bike with a wider seat, and it features the same folding mechanism and frame as the company's military paratrooper bike. Bike Friday's Pocket Tourist ($698, www.bikefriday.com) is a simple touring and city bike that weighs less than 27 pounds. Check out the websites for more information on how the bikes fold and where to buy them.
Balls and Mats
For alternative exercises and a great way to stretch, exercise balls are the way to go. The stability balls usually range from 30 cm to 75cm and larger, depending on your height. Exercise balls may vary depending on the store, and if in doubt, bigger is better. You should be able to sit comfortably on the ball with your knees and hips making a 90 degree angle or higher. To purchase a ball and coordinating stability ball programs, check out the Resist-A-Ball website at www.resistaball.com. To purchase a ball and a lot of other fun recreation equipment, go to the Shape Up Shop at www.shapupshop.com, click on "Fitness" and then click on "Exercise balls."
A soft yoga mat creates a comfortable area to stretch and exercise. Check out the Shape Up Shop online or any major store like Target or Wal-Mart.
Weights and Resistance Bands
On top of daily cardiovascular exercise, weight training is important to strengthen muscles and increase your metabolism. A set of free weights and several resistance bands are portable and easy to use on the road. For weights, buy one set of dumbbells with adjustable weight plates that are easy to slide on and off. For resistance bands, buy two or three different colors that indicate varied resistance for a light or heavy workout. You can find both weights and resistance bands at any large store, or shop online at Amazon or the Shape Up Shop at www.shapupshop.com.
Jump Rope
Jumping rope is one of the best cardiovascular exercises around. Just a 10-minute jump every day can give you more energy and a better disposition. Invest in a strong jump rope made from a material other than plastic, such as real rope, because plastic has a tendency to break. Plus, plastic will really hurt the first few times you mess up and slap yourself in the shins.
The Truck Gym
This piece of equipment attaches directly to the passenger seat or driver seat of your truck with no drilling, just simple screws that snap into place. The Truck Gym comes with resistance bands that allow you to do leg, arm and abdominal workouts with 30 pounds of resistance. For purchasing information, go the Truck Gym website at www.thetruckgym.com.

Search for the Blindeye
Ok. The most recent code (from Gideon Rises) was "Search for the blindeye." This struck me as odd, and it got me thinking about how a lot of things in the show seem to revolve around one eye.
- Stan sometimes wears an eye patch
- Lazy Susan has a lazy eye
- Bill has one eye
- Birch trees have the pattern of a single eye on them (as seen in Dreamscaperers)
- Each journal has a monocle- like glasses but for one eye
- We've all seen how Old Man McGucket's eyes seem to wander, but what if one of them is actually looking in the right direction while the other isn't real? That means he would have one eye
Does anyone have anything else to add? Maybe covering one eye is symbolic and has to do with the secret society. This is just something weird I noticed.
