[If they were further into their relationship, she might have felt comfortable taking that kind of liberty, but they're still way early into it - and even without having ever had a boyfriend before, Liza knows better than to put that kind of pressure on a guy. So she's trying to pass it off like it's no biggie :p It spanned over 2 posts, so if curiosity strikes, it's here and here (mostly in the second one). So needless to say, Liza's now kind of in a plateau of "oh god, now what do I do?". While at the same time, trying to stay out of sight as much as possible - she's embarassed that even Melanie knows how bad it got this time. She still has some shred of loyalty to her mom that doesn't want to see her end up in jail, so…]

[LOL well Roger wouldn't have been involved with it, he wasn't in Judy's house. The post isn't that far back on the blog here, you can find it (it's the lonnnng post and just happened yesterday). Basically she flipped out on Liza for seeing Keith again (not THAT kind of see; she legit just went to visit him and see how he was doing since Jimmy got her worried) and going against her wishes, and just came unhinged and beat her up and kicked her out and told her she's not welcome back again. Soooo yeah. She's temporarily at Mel's since she doesn't know where else to go and didn't want to just show up on Roger's doorstep and be all 'oh hey don't mind me I need to move in'……yeah, that woulda been awkward :p She's trying not to be a bother since she thinks she's just a liability and pissing everybody off everywhere she goes lately]
((Yeah, well its nice to know what's been going on, sometimes it's hard to tell with this RP :P. Wow, that does sound intense, poor Liza! But yeah it would be kinda awkward for Liza to move in with Roger seeing as he's still living at the hotel. He probably wouldn't have minded it, but still….))

But I can learn with you, now that I know you're not embarassed to have someone like me…
Good. *He raises his arm to place his hand on top of Liza's.* And I really, really want to be your boyfriend. *He leans forward slightly so their noses are touching.* I'm not the best teacher though; I'm sure I'll learn just as much from you, if not in quite the same areas. *He smirks.* Me be embarassed by you? I'd think it'd be the other way around, you being the talented actress you are, and me just bein' a hapless singer.

Found April 08, 2013 on Pats Propaganda:
PLAYERS: Tommy Kelly, Vince Wilfork
TEAMS: Oakland Raiders, New England Patriots
TEAMS: Oakland Raiders, New England Patriots
Ian Rapoport reports the Patriots have signed Raiders defensive lineman Tommy Kelly to a two-year deal. Classic Patriots move, signing another Raider castoff to bolster their depth along the defensive line. The biggest impact of Kelly coming aboard will be his ability to take some of the load off of Vince Wilfork. At 6-foot-6, 325 pounds he adds some good size. He hasn't missed a game since 2007, and despite just one sack in 2012 he had 7.5 in 2011 and 7 in 2010. As everyone knows, I've been beating the defensive tackle drum all offseason and this is a good step, but I'd still love to see them get another defense tackle in the draft. But this signing makes it even more likely they could go wide receiver in round one.

Week 5 - Providence
A few observations from this weekend.
-I think cross racers have identified as many types of mud as Eskimos have types of snow.
-Lycra is not mud proof. The skinsuit does nothing to protect you from having mud in all the places you don't want mud to be.
-I feel like I rode much better in the mud this weekend then I did just a week ago at Gloucester.
OK so after five weeks of double UCI cross races it's time for a weekend off. It was great to again meet a few people who follow this blog in real life. Thanks for the support. Next race is New Gloucester, Maine.

So the mail came to my house and one of them has the right address and all, but the recipient is to the local funeral home. I'm pretty sure I don't live in a funeral home… Unless if I've been lied to for 17 years.
Hey guys, so report cards came here yesterdays and I have no clue how much time I have left before my parents see my grades for final exams and flip out. So I figured that I should warn you guys about if I don't post anything here for a long time, chances are I'm grounded for life. Or for some time at least.
I mean, getting D's on final exams aren't that bad cause colleges don't even see the grades. Technically it's just a big test, but I don't think my parents are going to get it… Anyways, wish me luck!

Untouchable 2010
Dragon Gate Pro Wrestling USA
Reviewed by Joe Babinsack
If I had to name one current promotion that, from top to bottom, is putting forth a form of professional wrestling both worthy of the great history of the sport, and also trying its best to forge new legends, it's would be Dragon Gate.
There's a strong sense of introducing new wrestlers, and among a roster where the most experienced talent is usually from the Japanese homeland, that's a challenge.
But with Untouchable 2010, several names are being presented as rising up the roster.
Among them are Jon Moxley, Jimmy Jacobs and Ricochet, as well as Brodie Lee.
The payoffs of these pushes should come due down the road, and the most important thing is whether Dragon Gate continues to allow other stars to emerge, and to play out these pushes. Yet with Untouchable, there's a very strong sense of building the promotion. The theme of establishing American faces to Japanese factions persists, and now we're starting to see choices being made.
Either with talented youngsters like Ricochet being picked, or cynical youngsters like Johnny Gargano being dissed, there's a sense of ongoing storylines and not just matches being thrown together. Of course, with DG USA, just throwing together names in the ring can be fun to watch, but we all know that great talent in the ring becomes meaningless without the stories unfolding at the same time.
The only story that escapes me, looking back at an event that played out in the Congress Theatre in Chicago, Illinois on September 25th, and aired on PPV on November 12th, is the deal with Bryan Danielson. His whirlwind tour across the indy scene is wrapping up around this time, and of course he's now wrapped up his run with the United States Championship of WWE infamy now. While I loved that Danielson was truly touting his indy work and trying to get more mainstream eyeballs on various promotions, there's also a sense now of the worth of him beating all these guys on main events.
Yeah, the bar is raised and the Dragon must be chased, but it does seem debatable now, in terms of wins and losses and who got the wins and who got the losses.
Yet the matchup between one of the best heels in the indy scene: Yamato, and one of the most acclaimed wrestlers of the indy scene of the past decade: Danielson, is nothing to miss.
Danielson blends the hard hitting MMA approach with his unique wrestling abilities and a strong sense of building a match. Yamato is a guy who takes being a heel seriously, in terms of not succumbing to the 'tweener' role that has utterly destroyed the concepts of babyfaces and villains.
And factional warfare is at its best when heels and faces collide or conspire or do their run-ins at the right time, not just every time.
Feuds are also important in DG USA, and two feuds are at the forefront, in different stages.
Shingo and Dragon Kid were an awesome Tag Team until Shingo turned on the Kid. This DVD has the first singles matchup between them since that moment. It's the classic Dragon Gate style with the powerhouse Shingo and the lightning fast Dragon Kid, both doing their signature moves, and otherwise highlighting their creativity as well as Shingo's strength.
There are several impressive spots that take the "Strong Man" role up to modern days, and that's quite the feat of strength … and creativity.
While the feud is dynamic, it's not exactly heated in the ring, but more of a backdrop for having the Dragon Gate style on display, which is by no means a bad thing.
What's great about DG USA and booker extraordinaire Gabe Sapolosky is that this isn't all about the recurring themes and same finishes and lazy booking. Jon Moxley vs Jimmy Jacobs is a red hot feud, but isn't more of the same. While this match had a bit more of the American Indy feel, it did play out to establish the characters.
Well, what established Jimmy immensely was the Bonus footage and three-part interview with him, explaining his road from ROH to DG USA. Jacobs busts out an older version of himself, plays into his various incarnations and merges back into DG USA's Jacobs in a dedication to detail that just doesn't get done anywhere else.
The match wasn't exactly hard-core violence, but it did establish the two. Moxley is Jacobs back when he didn't care. Now, Jacobs is in a time of reflection, but uncertain.
I'm very interested in seeing how the feud plays out. Jacobs as the thorn in Moxley's side is interesting, but Jacobs as the lone wolf fighting Moxley's Kamikaze USA faction isn't likely to go far. Which means something will happen, I'm sure if it.
There's something about Moxley that's disturbing, but something about him that's very much unformed. How he develops as a wrestler and as a character over the next year could be very interesting.
About the most interesting thing with Untouchable 2010 is the spotlight on Ricochet.
He amazed with moves last DVD, and this one, the eyes of the roster and fans are upon him. There's nothing as cool as CIMA calling him out to be his partner, and then seeing the veteran/rookie tag team in action, and topped off with Ricochet doing a double moonsault as the finisher, set up by CIMA.
CIMA's broken English is priceless. There's nothing so spectacular as cross-cultural sarcasm and cynicism, wrapped around giving tremendous props to a fantastic athlete. To paraphrase: "How many times did you turn? A million?!?"
That was as funny as it was cool.
But it shouldn't overshadow the tag team match against Masato Yoshino & Naruki Doi. That's four stellar athletes in the ring at a fast pace with exceptional skills.
DG USA is known for its multiple man matches, and the three way and the four way are top notch.
Akira Tozawa gets a bit of a push with a surprising match, and in the ring with BxB Hulk and Mike Quackenbush, that's great company.
The four way was a key one, though. Especially with four different body types and highlighting the different styles of the promotion. Rich Swann is certainly in the mold of Ricochet, and there is enough similarity with Johnny Gargano & Chuck Taylor (FIST!), but Drake Younger as ultra-hardcore gone wrestling based talent is even more solid than the Necro Butcher.
What DG USA is doing is establishing itself as the promotion where the future of the sport is emerging. (I'd say evolving, but why confuse Gabe's other venture.) Fast paced action, developing feuds and characters and creating future matchups.
That's a lot of good things.
And a final note about Brodie Lee. I love the build up of the big man, and a big man looks even bigger in a roster with relatively sized guys. But destroying Da Soul Touchaz!
Ok, I can't be too hypocritical, because that's the only way to build someone up.
But Da Touchaz are headed for bigger and better things.

This is a good standard chair. Its appearance is pleasing and range of available colors is nice. The kiwi is not so bright unless in direct sunlight. Otherwise it is a muted topey green. The only thing is the back is not adjustable. I am a shorty so when I sit with my knees at 90 degrees myback is a good six inches from the back. Otherwise, good standard chair.
I like the chair for the most part. I got it because it said the arms had two-way movement, which I thought meant it would go up and down and in and out. It goes up and down, but only really out. I'm small - 5'2" and 110 lbs. - so I really wish the arms on the chair moved in towards me a little further. A bigger person would not have this problem. I also have to really try to have my back flush against the back of the seat, my legs are just a little too short to extend from the seat back to the front of the seat. Assembly was easy, the chair looks good and the seat is comfortable. If I could reach the back of the seat, it would provide the right support. I like the materials, and the rollers move well on carpet. I think I'd encourage someone my size to keep looking for a different chair, but nevertheless I'm not planning on sending it back, for the price it is good enough.
I originally purchased this chair for my home computer desk. It has everything you could want in an office chair. It's very comfortable (and I have serious back problems), It rolls easily on my tile floor, the seat is plenty wide, you can lock the back or unlock it to lean back and almost rock if you want, the mechanism to raise and lower the height works great, color selection is rare, plus being able to adjust the arms is wonderful! I have since bought this chair for my sister and another for our office. I don't think you'd be disappointed in this chair. I recommend BUY IT!!
I love this chair. The entire process was effortless. I work at home and needed a new desk chair. My friends said I was crazy to order a chair online without sitting in it first. Being a mature female and living alone, I really needed the chair to be delivered so I wouldn't have to wrestle with getting a heavy box out of the car and into my home. I also wanted a chair that had a mesh back (hot in Florida) and wasn't black. I ordered Blue Mist and it's lovely. Really a navy/white thread combination that looks lighter at a distance. The chair was easy to assemble by myself. The screws are shrink wrapped to cardboard and the instructions were easily understood. The chair feels solid. This was a great purchase. Overstock shipped right away and I tracked the shipment so I was available when it arrived. Highly recommend this chair from Overstock.com.
This chair is perfectly nice but was way too large for me. I am 5'7" and large framed with a little extra, so I think most women would find it too big. The armrests were also the wrong height for me - they adjust in and out but that's it. I gave it to a guy friend who is 6'2" and he likes it.
I am short and wide and this chair fits me perfectly. I purchased this chair for home use. It is extremely comfortable (my back is well supported) and the mesh provides a comfortable seating surface with more than adequate ventilation. The arms are wide so they provide a comfortable surface upon which to rest your arms. I feel this is an excellent chair of very good quality and I would highly recommend it.
I just received my new chair. I was concered the color "Kiwi" would not be true to the photo on the website. I was greatly relieved when I saw it's a muted kiwi, very similar to the outer part of the flesh of a real kiwi. It's the same tone, but a slightly lighter shade. It blends in very well with the wall color and rug pattern I have in my home office. Assembly was a breeze and it's very comfortable. Great value for the "sale" price I paid. I wanted something "different" than the standard black office chair. This has the comfort needed for prolonged sitting and some color options to fit your taste.
We have ordered this chair for multiple projects and they are very study, high quality construction and design. Great value!
Excellent back support. Fresh color (I bought "kiwi"). I just moved to Florida and needed a non-leather chair that doesn't make me sweat and stick to the seat. This chair is perfect with a fabric seat and mesh back - it honestly keeps me cool. Needs assembly, no tools necessary. It is actually pretty easy to put together, but the diagram is awful. I put it together backwards, then had to take it apart and reassemble.
I had seen this chair before on Overstock months ago. I got the interest in buying a new chair for my desk from a different company. I loved the look of such chair, but not the price...way over what I wanted to spend. I was hooked in looking for a similar chair & went back to Overstock.com & reviewed this one again. The price just sold me! I couldn't believe the savings. The set up of this chair is very easy & just love it. I even say to myself, everyday, "I love my chair!". At first, I felt a bit of discomfort in my lower back, but now it is gone. Maybe I just had to get used to it's amazing lumbar support. It's beautiful. I bought the kiwi, just wish it was a bit darker, like sage. But, overall I'm very happy with this purchase! And, another note, this same chair at other sites charge so much more, even double of what I paid. You can't go wrong purchasing from Overstock.com! Thanks so much!

text: Fat Guy Wants Happy Meals Banned (With Bonus 'Red Eye' Podcast!) by Greg Gutfeld 13 Apr 2011 post a comment Share This: So, his typical lunch comes from either McDonald's or Popeye's. He binges on Big Macs or ribs, and desperately tries to hide it from his wife, who's an ardent vegetarian [aren't they all]. He weighs close to 350 lbs. In short, he's a big fat guy...whose probably miserable - telling you how to eat. ----- Welcome to the world of New York City Councilman Leroy Comrie, the portly pol who seeks a ban on McDonald's Happy Meals - because he thinks the cute little prizes that accompany the food causes bad eating habits. As opposed to say, human weakness. Now, I'm not going to knock this guy for his weight, or for being a hypocrite. Because, in a way he's not. I mean, it's not like he's hiding his flab. Well - he can't - but I'm sure he's aware that by attacking McDonald's, he's going to look foolish. And he does. But there's a weirder psychology going on here: a transference of blame to an undeserved target, as camouflage for avoiding one's own personal responsibility for your predicament. See, when it comes to Democrats like Comrie, it can never be your fault. Whether it's your diet, or any part of your lifestyle - you're never to blame. It's always someone or something else - preferably an evil corporation like McDonald's, whose creepy face-painted mascot clearly puts a gun to your head to get you to eat its burgers... Their awesome, awesome burgers. [and don't get me started on the fries] See - that's the thing about Comrie. He knows why he's fat: Ronald's food tastes so damn good, and he can't fight it. But when looking in the mirror, Comrie sees the end result of his weakness - and takes it out on a toy. So, who's the real clown here? And if you disagree with me, you're probably a vegetarian. Tonight: Rick Folbaum! Brooke Goldstein! Mahsa Saeidi-Aczuy! Father Jonathan Morris! and Bill Schulz is back!

Meg Whitman, former CEO of e-Bay, is pushing back hard against allegations that she knowingly hired an illegal immigrant as a household employee. Whitman, the GOP nominee for governor of California, is locked in a tight race with Jerry Brown, the state's attorney general and one-time governor. And, like most GOP candidates, Whitman has run on a campaign of cracking down on illegal immigration.
"After nine years of faithful service, Nicky came to us in June 2009 and confessed that she was an illegal worker," the statement reads. "Nicky had falsified the hiring documents and personal information she provided to the employment agency that brought her to us in 2000. Nicky told me that she was admitting her deception now because she was aware that her lie might come out during the campaign. Nicky said she was concerned about hurting my family and me.
"As required by law, once we learned she was an illegal worker, I immediately terminated Nicky's employment. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done. I considered Nicky a friend and a part of our extended family."
She was responding to allegations made by Nicky Diaz, who had once worked for Whitman as housekeeper, nanny and occasional driver. Watch Diaz's press conference:
I thought Whitman made a very credible argument: She hired Diaz through an employment agency, and Diaz had given the agency documents showing she was a legal worker. The documents turned out to be falsified, but I don't blame Whitman for that. Whitman later fired Santillan when she learned she was in the country illegally. So far, so good.
But Los Angeles Times columnist Steve Lopez has some excellent questions about what Whitman did after that:
But wait a minute. The no-nonsense candidate who opposes a path to legal citizenship, and wants the government to go after businesses that hire illegal immigrants, didn't feel the need to report the housekeeper to authorities when she confessed?
What did she think might happen? That the housekeeper would go back where she came from? That someone else would hire her not knowing she was illegal?
Or did she maybe think to herself, privately, of course, that the housekeeper was a decent person trying to live a better life in a country where wealthy people like Whitman are all too happy to hire them, and not terribly inclined to probe their backgrounds?
What did the Whitmans pay the housekeeper, by the way?
If Whitman is as determined to curb illegal immigration as she claims in her gubernatorial campaign, you'd think she would have called immigration authorities immediately to arrange for Diaz's deportation.

Nicky's lying ars should be deported, period. End of story. We don't need more lying criminals.
And Cynthia wants to give these people an easier path to citizenship……….

What part of "illegal" does Whitman not understand? Why did she NOT report the business? Why did she not go to the authorities? What is she hiding?
Falsified bankruptcy documents, hiring illegals, racist finch reports, faked education credits, hiding pedophile clergy issues,failing to make required financial disclosures. And the list goes on. Wow that is some crop of Tea Mice/Republicans. What was that slogan? Vote out the crooks and liars. I missed the part where they said "and vote in our crooks and liars."

I saw this story yesterday and immediately I thought, "Perfect, now the folks who WANT open borders and who WANT illegal immigration are going to use this to try and defeat Whitman." Thanks for proving my thoughts correct Ms. Tucker.
P.S. BTW, I figured that someone who despises lies and the politics of personal destruction would surely feel compelled to blog about the malicious false ads that Congressman Grayson has pulled out against his opponent in Florida. I guess you are only outraged when a (R) does it!
September 30th, 2010
8:23 am
Allred said that Whitman ignored a 2003 letter from the Social Security Administration notifying her of discrepancies in the Social Security number that Diaz provided.
So despite denials, there are allegations that Whitman knew her housekeeper was here unlawfully but it did not matter until 2009 when Whitman decided to run and THEN fired her.
September 30th, 2010

Whitman who is a multi millionaire many times over has only herself to blame for this mess. Why didn't she hire a person who was clearly an American and spoke with no spanish accent??? Because it would have cost more. I am tired of the richest amongst us living like kings but wanting to hire personal staff for the absolute cheapest. The worst offenders are rich folks hiring nannies. And before you say that an american wont do that work, its really that americans don't want to work unlimited hours with few benefits as someones personal slave. I have seen the way many rich people treat their staff and its jut a step above slavery. Whitman is no better.

Perefct….looks like your position is "vote according to my claimed position, not according to my acts?" Like the Republicsns who as you to believe in their "family values" while they are out with their mistress or hookers, so I guess this is a part of the "border values". Somehow it sounds like getting the shaft is always a part of these values.
September 30th, 2010
8:30 am
Nicely presented.
Regarding where Mr. Lopez introduced conjecture not supported by the evidence: "Or did she maybe think to herself, privately, of course, that the housekeeper was a decent person trying to live a better life in a country where wealthy people like Whitman are all too happy to hire them (by going through an employment agency and receiving apparently-proper documentation) , and not terribly inclined to probe their backgrounds (repeat same observation)?
"If Whitman is as determined to curb illegal immigration as she claims in her gubernatorial campaign, you'd think she would have called immigration authorities immediately to arrange for Diaz's deportation."
Or maybe this is just another example of how politicians will take positions designed to appeal to the majority of voters, but who, during the campaign or after election, move towards a more centrist position? If that's the case, Ms. Whitman may not be quite so rigid as some would think.
September 30th, 2010

Your thread is pretty pathetic this morning :
"If Whitman is as determined to curb illegal immigration as she claims in her gubernatorial campaign, you'd think she would have called immigration authorities immediately to arrange for Diaz's deportation.:
But your liberals don't want the LOCAL POLICE to be able to do the same thing.
How hypocritical can you be !!!
September 30th, 2010

It seems like the illegal worker obtained documents from someone that made her look legal. That's not Whitman's fault. This should be on whatever agency gave her the documents.
September 30th, 2010

That Rep Grayson ad ('submit to me"), is, by any rational definition, a lie. Which makes Rep Grayson a liar.
And reprehensible.
I used to think he was the Democratic equivalent of Michelle Bachmann. You know, canny, playing the audience, making outrageous comments to get his face on tv and attract more donations.
No more. Rep Bachmann's a saint by comparison.

Hey Tucker – Do they actually pay you to write this drivel?
September 30th, 2010
8:38 am
Pea…it is her fault if she knew when the SSA wrote her and asked questions. It is her fault if she failed to report the business to the authorities. It is her fault if she faile to report the woman to the authorities. If you are going to demand that "Nicki be deported" then you should also demand that those who aided and abetted her by continuing to pay her after they knew she was here illegally (if the allegations are true) or by their own admission terminating her after learning of her illegal status but not taking other acts to stop the criminal.
Sort of like saying "yea my driver robbed a bank, but I quit letting him drive me to work the minute I found out. Sure I didn't report him, but I fired him."
September 30th, 2010
8:43 am
"It is her fault if she failed to report the business to the authorities. It is her fault if she faile to report the woman to the authorities. "
I agree with that and everything else you said. But I don't think she knowingly hired an illegal worker. Once she found out, she fired her. But yes she should have reported her and the agency to the authorities.
September 30th, 2010
8:44 am
@ Keep … No, I am not a kool-aid drinker (like Ms. Tucker and yourself) who only drinks whatever the (D's) are serving up and bashes whatever the (R's) do. There is plenty of hypocrisy on both sides of the aisle. It is simply hilarious to me that someone like Ms. Tucker would make political hay against Meg Whitman for handling a situation in the EXACT way Ms. Tucker would have handled it. Do you believe that Ms. Tucker would have reported this woman to immigration officials? If you do, then you are dumber than your posts make you look.
September 30th, 2010

Cynthia, just curious…do you think Nicky should be deported immediately? Or, "do we need more hard workers like her"?
September 30th, 2010
8:52 am
@ Paul. I agree with your assessment about Grayson being a liar. I guess if you are polling behind your opponent then it is ok to take a phrase totally out of context. I guess the "ends justify the means" crowd are only offended when it is used against them. Hypocrites!
September 30th, 2010
8:52 am
Pea…you have accepted the "defense" raised by Ms. Whitman claiming knowledge only in 2009 and ignored the allegations of prior knowledge. Are you saying that Ms. Whitman, who claims to be smart enough to run the state of California, is not smart enough to figure out the issues from a SSA inquiry and reported discrepancy (and who knows what other allegations may be in the lawsuit on both sides).
Perfect….don't know what you are perfect at but if it is jumping the shark with conclusions and missing the point of the story…so far you made a perfect arse of yourself. enjoy a slurpee.
September 30th, 2010
8:56 am
this is the difference between people and politicians. people live, work, laugh, cry, obey some laws and disobey others. politicians pit people against people so they may assume positions of "authority" which require them to draft and pass laws, but from a place above the law. the ultimate difference is, as this case shows, it is entirely possible two laws were broken; falsified documents AND failure to report. I think it began with jcon and even John Stossel used the rif, but we (the People) are all just like Charie Brown in believing Lucy (the Politicians) will not yank the ball away.
September 30th, 2010
8:56 am
What part of the illegal worker provided false documentatio to the agency that you people don't understand. If the agency was duped by this woman as it appears Ms. Whitman was for sometime then just how are they responsible?
I have really had it up to here with folks who want to make other people responsible for the illegal actions and/or lack of integrity for other folks. The questions should be: [1] Why is Nicky here illegally? [2] Why did she provide false documentation to an agency in order to gain employment? [3] Why did she put her employer at risk of violating the law for 9 years? [4] After confessing to being an illegal, why didn't she turn own self in?
If this woman feels no fear in coming forward and hiring "Ambulance Chaser Allred" then what good would it have done for Ms. Whitman to report her to authorities. And if she had reported her to authorities then Cynthia and other liberals would be writing about what a cruel, cold-hearted *itch Whitman is and all poor Nicky wanted to do was make a better life for herself. So by their wishy-washy standards you're darned if you do and you're darned if you don't.

Keep up
"ignored the allegations of prior knowledge… don't know what you are perfect at but if it is jumping the shark with conclusions and missing the point of the story"
I'll offer the perspective that anyone can allege anything. Your post seems to indicate that the allegation should be accepted as true and those against whom it is made should provide evidence it is not.
Why not hold those who make the allegation to the standard of providing evidence to go along with it?
September 30th, 2010

She hired Diaz through an employment agency, and Diaz had given the agency documents showing she was a legal worker. The documents turned out to be falsified, but I don't blame Whitman for that. Whitman later fired Santillan when she learned she was in the country illegally.
Ms. Tucker, this may be a case of, "what did she (Ms. Whitman) know, and when did she know it."
But Whitman's former employee says the candidate knew of her immigration status and chose to look the other way. In her statement, Santillan said a letter arrived from the Social Security Administration in 2003 warning the Whitmans that Santillan may be working illegally because her Social Security number was a mismatch. The Whitmans, Santillan alleges, never followed up on the claim.
Damn you Keep at 8:12 (What part of "illegal" does Whitman not understand?). I wanted to say that first.
September 30th, 2010
9:00 am
Other possibility is, the employment agency was the entity behind false documentation or was negligent in verification, IF any verification standards then existed.
There are all sorts of 'what if' or 'this is possible' in this case. All of them have the same effect – to keep a negative spotlight on Ms Whitman and off her opponent.

"Peadawg@8:45, Of course, I don't believe Nicky should be deported immediately."
Why not? She's here illegally(breaking the law) and lied in order to get hired. You think she should be rewarded for that??
September 30th, 2010
9:03 am
There's a difference between Whitman having this person working for her and then "discovering" she was illegal, and having the police stop someone because they look like they might be illegal.
I have met two people from eastern Europe who's visa's have expired who are blond haired and look like they might be from Kansas. They won't ever be stopped for "looking" like an illegal.
People who gloss over the racial component of this particular piece of legislation like to say the "race card" is being played. Profiling individuals to determine citizenship can only be viewed as discriminatory.
September 30th, 2010
9:04 am
Ms Tucker you wrote – "If Whitman is as determined to curb illegal immigration as she claims in her gubernatorial campaign, you'd think she would have called immigration authorities immediately to arrange for Diaz's deportation."
Obviously, since this is your blog, you can post whatever you like as often as you like. However, if you wanted to smear Whitman, or offer up yet another opinion on illegals, this one is not the ticket. Do you think Whitman has no emotional ties with someone who worked for her for 9 years? You propose that when Whitman was faced with no choice but to fire the woman, she should have also turned her in for deportation. If she had, the headlines would be Whitman has no heart. This one seems beneath you.
Obama and company are behind the scenes doing everything possible to let illegals stay in the USA, even to the point of circulating memos on how they can bypass Congress. That the real story. How about a little journalism on it?
September 30th, 2010
9:05 am
Perfect@8:44, There is a stark difference between my politics and Whitman's. I have made it perfectly clear that I don't believe people like Nicky Diaz, who come over here illegally and lie and deceive people in order to get hired, should be deported.

In what state or municipality is it legal for police stop someone because they look like they might be illegal?
September 30th, 2010

Paul…as I pointed out, those were allegations. Ms. Alred, by virtue of her being an attorney, cannot intentionally falsify a claim of a SSA letter, inquiry or whatever. Whether the import of that claim is what she says is up to a court to determine. It is entitled however to the same weight as Ms. Whitman's allegation that she did not know and what she did when she found out. In all cases, the allegations are not proven yet to the court.
September 30th, 2010

Wow, the conservative nuts will support Nathan Deal at all cost and will continue to support any candidate such as Meg Whitman; who tells them lies about what she thinks should be done with illegal immigrants.
I think the only reason she didn't report the incident (is because she was afraid in the beginning) that it would be front page news. She didn't want anyone digging into her hiring practices. Now, that it's out; she has had time to clean house a bit (pun intended). I bet she checked the status of the lawn professionals, the cooks and anyone else with an "accent" that has been doing work for her family.

I will come at this issue(?) with a little different take.
A lot of us feel that if illegal immigration is the big critical problem
some claim it is, then the only solution is to lock up those who hire illegal aliens. The excuse that one did not know just does not hold water. The job of an employer is to know for sure. If you are not sure, do not hire.
Now if illegal immigration is not the big critical problem some claim it is, then lets drop the charade and re-submit the Kennedy-McCain Bill and get it through both houses of congress pronto.
We all know that the of influx illegal aliens will never be stopped until employers are locked up in prison. Period.
And we all know we will never lock up employers for hiring illegal aliens. Period.
But we will continue the charade.
September 30th, 2010
9:22 am
Keep up
Defense attorneys use many tactics to maintain all their pronouncements are proper. Words like "knowingly" or "intentionally" provide huge outs. I did not say Ms Alred intentionally falsified a claim – all she has to do is repeat a claim to make an allegation. She does not have to make any implications about the truth of the allegation.
"It is entitled however to the same weight as Ms. Whitman's allegation that she did not know and what she did when she found out."
That's an interesting standard. See how it plays out? (Company Buying Office): "Mr. Keep Up, have you honestly represented to us that your products perform according to the literature you've provided?"
Mr. Keep Up: "I do."
Salesman from another company who wants the contract: "I understand Mr. Keep Up knows the literature is false, he never confronted his company's testing officer with his knowledge and he knows his products won't do the job."
Customer: "Mr. Keep Up, we have to give any accusation the same weight as anything you say…."

Cedar Roof Shingles Information
Cedar shingles have been around for centuries. Their rustic appearance compliments a variety of architectural styles. Typically made of Red, Yellow, or White Cedar, wooden shingles are a long lasting insulation choice for your roof.
Western Red Cedar is flexible, durable, and naturally insect-resistant. It accepts treatments such as color stain or fireproofing well. Red Cedar is extremely long lasting. Chemically pressure treated Red Cedar doesn't need after market spray on treatments.
Yellow Cedar is also highly durable and insect-resistant. Because of it's tight grain and natural wood oil, it's heavier than red cedar. The same properties that make them excellent water and insect repellent roof material also make them hard to stain or paint. As an added bonus, it weathers to a lovely silver gray colour.
Image Coutesy of Grcedar.com
White Cedar is long lasting, insect-resistant, weather repellent with good insulation. Like western red, White cedar can be stained, painted, or it can be left to weather. This variety of tree grows quickly, making it a green renewable choice for your home.
Red and Yellow are grown in the Western US and Canada, while White Cedar is grown in the east. Shingles and shakes from all three cedar varieties are manufactured and shipped worldwide.
Cedar Shingles Short Background
Cedar is renowned for being easy to work with, great to look at, an effective insulator and incredibly durable. Research shows that it was often used by Native Americans years ago to create totem poles and build strong canoes. These days it's mainly used for roofing, walls and ceilings although it's sometimes sought out to produce intricate carvings for shrines to place in religious buildings.
Depending on the climate and the place you live, cedar could well be the roofing solution for you. Over the years, cedar has undergone stringent tests, and the results show that as a roofing material, it is extremely durable, water resistant and not as prone to decay as other types of timber. On top of all those qualities, it's naturally beautiful, has a pleasant aroma and can save you hundreds of pounds or dollars on your yearly utility bills.
Of course there are many different types of cedarwood, Western Red, Yellow and White being the main ones that will be discussed on this website.
Shingles and Shakes
As a roofing tile, shakes and shingles tend to be laid in rows in a flat rectangular shape which overlap each joint. They are far less likely to split, warp or become infested with insects due to its natural properties so these are some of the reasons why people tend to choose cedar over other roofing products such as slate, asbestos-cement or asphalt shingle. Fundamentally, a cedar roof will withstand adverse weather like hurricane winds and hail storms much more effectively than other roofing materials.
Image Courtesy Inspectapedia.com
What's the Difference Between Shakes and Shingles?
The overall quality of a shingle and shake will be determined by several factors including where the wood was grown and how it was cut. Don't confuse cedar shingles with cedar shakes as they are quite different. Shakes tend to be hand cut and are usually thicker than shingles. Shakes are certainly not considered to be the most suitable product for roofing and are often used for less precise jobs where a more rustic finish is required.
Because shakes are thicker they naturally have more exposure which refers to the height of every row of shakes or shingles above each successive row of cedar shingles; that is the exposure is a reference to the amount of the shingles visible width above the line of every laid row of shingle. It's paramount that shingles are installed as per the recommendation of the manufacturer as getting the exposure right is very important.
Shingles in the UK
Choosing the correct type of cedar is the first thing that you should take into consideration when doing any research about what type of roof to install on your property. Things like quality will vary between distributors so it's wise to read reviews or ask neighbours where they bought their shingles or shakes. You should also look at the weather in your area as some types of cedar are more appropriate for specific types of climate, particularly so when choosing cedar shingles in the UK. You want your roof to last you for many years so picking out the correct wood could save you money in the long term.
Blue Label Cedar Shingles are not Always the Best Quality
Many people wrongly assume that blue label means that the wood simply refers to one kind of shingle that is uniform but the truth is that there is actually a large variety of various brands and types to choose from.
As well as looking at different brands, there is also varying levels of quality to suit a range of needs. Don't fall into the common trap of thinking that you are getting superb quality just because the wood has a 'blue label' price tag.
There can be some unscrupulous traders out there, so never buy on impulse. Allow yourself a few days to find out as much information as possible about different manufacturers, distributors and sellers. It is possible for blue label to be of inferior quality so keep a clear head and learn where the wood has been sourced and how it has been processed before you make any kind of purchase.
Ideally, the very finest blue label cedar shingles would be recommended to you by the retailer if you requested premium timber. Typically, premium blue label cedar is 100% heartwood with 100% clear meaning that it has no defects.
Once you have located some great quality blue label cedar shingles you should ask an expert whether you need to treat the wood. Again, this will most likely be dependent on the climate. More rural areas tend to encounter damper weather so may need additional protection against moisture damage. Generally speaking though, blue label cedar is an excellent material for roofing thanks to its straight grain, lighter weight and stability.
Natural or Pre-Finished
It's common for western red cedar to be used both in the UK and elsewhere in the world for both commercial and domestic purposes. This is down to the wood's natural insecticides, durability and aesthetic properties. You can buy western red cedar shingles from an array of retailers with different degrees of weight and thickness.
In the majority of cases, your shingles will come with no finish at all or with a natural finish. Some sellers may offer you the chance to decide on the finish of your shingles to allow you to create a more bespoke look for your roof. In order to decide what type of customization to opt for, take things like personal taste and the surroundings of your home into consideration to find the perfect unique look for your business or home.
Design Properties
As well as being striking to look at and making your house look amazing, western red cedar shingles are famous for being resistant to moisture and insects. Most materials that are constantly exposed to the elements will suffer damage but thanks to the durability of this variety of cedar, this is less likely to happen.
Because of its even grain and fine texture, it's the perfect choice for house proud people who want a more natural look for their home. Its low density and lighter weight make it a suitable choice for building a roof which also means that the framework will require less wood.
If you're aiming to achieve a rustic look, western red cedar shingles will meet the brief perfectly without compromising stability and quality. If you live near a heavily wooded area like a forest or you simply live in the countryside, well away from the hustle and bustle of the city, red cedar is the number one choice for roofing. The natural beauty of the wood will effortlessly blend in to your existing surroundings which will allow your roof to look like it immediately belongs. If keeping in tune with your environment is an important factor for you then red cedar will not cause you any problems as it has such a pureness to it that clearly displays that this material is not at all man made.
No matter what type of building you own, if you install a cedar shingle roof you'll be guaranteed that your roof will have a reliable, robust covering that should last for years with minimum maintenance. Red, Yellow and White possess similar properties so you will be safe in the knowledge that the timber you're using is going to be more resistant to moisture and general wear and tear than other softwoods. Cedar is an investment for any type of project as it will remain aesthetically pleasing for years to come and won't lose any of its original charm and benefits.
Treatment | Do Shingles Need to be Treated?
There are various ways to treat cedar shingles but it's always important to read the instructions thoroughly on any type of cleaner or preservative to ensure that it's safe for the environment.
Although cedar shingles have been used since the earliest days of colonization, and they are unbelievably sturdy, they will sometimes require a type of treatment.
For example if you live in a region that has mainly wet weather conditions then the chances are that you will eventually encounter some damage to your roof.
Unfortunately, moisture can degrade cedar and this may lead to splitting or cracking or a build up of moss. It's better to treat your cedar immediately if you are concerned about damp climates and this will give you extra peace of mind that you have taken the necessary precautions.
What to Treat Cedar Shingles With?
You can use the commonly practised two step process which involves cleaning the wood with a generic wood cleaning fluid and then staining the shingles with an oil-based stain of your choice. Remember to dilute the cleaner as it will probably be sold in a concentrated form. One coat of stain will not be sufficient to protect your roofing so you may have to apply several layers to achieve the required result.
For convenience you could use a pump spray which will speed up the staining process. Once you have finished staining you will have to remove any excess stain 'runs' from the shingles. This is necessary because if excess stain is left to dry on the outer surface of your shingles it will create an unwanted appearance as the wood will look dull and tacky and this kind of surface would encourage the growth of mold and mildew.
Water borne preservation's such as Cunapsol 5 will help to provide some protection from decay and damp although it's not as effective at controlling the effects of the sun's rays.
Oil based preservatives which contain an aphthenic or paraffinic oil are a good all-rounder as they protect your shingles from mildew, mould, moss, algae, lichen and the sunshine. It's also interesting to know that this kind of treatment will not increase the flammability of your roof and is not expensive to buy. Always select any treatment that has been approved by the Federal Occupational Safety and health Administration (OSHA) as this will give you assurance that your product has already been tested rigorously and are not carcinogenic. Some reliable oils worth considering to treat your roof are Sunthene 40, Sun Oil and Chevron Shingle.
How to Clean Your Shingles
Wherever possible, try to remove any loose debris such as rotting leaves, berries and twigs by hand. You can then use a weak household bleach solution and spray the stained area several times until the moss and algae starts to dissipate. Alternatively you could use a pressure washer on a low setting for general day to day dirt and grime. You can buy cleaning solutions from your local hardware store but remember to check the ingredient list to see if any of it is harmful to humans, animals or plants.
Correct Nails for Cedar Shingles
If you're not hiring a professional to install your cedar roofing it's worth remembering that it's usually advisable to use fasteners and nails that are made from stainless steel.
Typically, the stainless steel nails need to be approximately 1.25 inches to 2 inches but this would depend on the particular design of your individual roofing project. Fasteners and nails should be galvanized and double dipped so that they have the ultimate protection against the elements.
Generally speaking, it's vital to buy and use the correct type of fasteners to provide longevity. Don't be tempted to cut corners and scrimp on your spending as it's been proven that cheap fasteners can compromise the structural integrity of a cedar roof. You get what you pay for in life and this is definitely the case with fasteners because the poorer quality ones won't be as strong as the more expensive ones and may let you down during different conditions such as hail, snow or wind. Cheap fasteners will also corrode and will leave you with unsightly rust stains on your shingled roof.
Roof Installation
Laying cedar shingles is not recommended for the DIY novice, as the installation does require a certain level of experience and craftsmanship. In most cases, people hire a professional roof contractor so that the job gets done properly.
A roof is an important part of a home or building so it's not really worth trying to save money and tackling the task yourself. Cut the risks and pay an experienced tradesman to complete the work for you as this will be money well spent.
Fixing shingles to a roof are most often applied in single courses over either solid or spaced sheathing, with corrosion resistant fasteners. Fireproofed shingles also require special fasteners.
If you live in a high humidity environment, even more care is needed when installing cedar shingles. A precision installed roof will last longer and perform better with less maintenance. Hire professional installers experienced in cedar shingle roof installation for the best results.
Fireproof Cedar Shingles
Properly treated cedar shingles can be fireproofed up to a B rating and are acceptable almost anywhere when applied with appropriate fire-resistant chemicals. Factory treated shingles are impregnated with fire suppressing chemicals and pressure-treated to incorporate the chemicals deep into the wood. After market fire suppressants must be reapplied frequently. Buy fireproofed cedar shingles to avoid this bothersome, expensive chore.
Properly applied and maintained, your cedar shingle roof will add beauty and longevity to your home. With professional installation, high quality shingles and shakes will offer you many years of service.
The General Lifespan of a Cedar Roof
If you're considering a cedar shingles roof for your home or business you are probably wondering how long it will last. Obviously adding a new roof is a considered purchase so it's wise to know all the facts before you make up your mind.
The lifespan of a cedar roof can vary greatly depending on things like the climate where you live and the actual quality of the original installation, the weather and how regularly the roof is maintained. The average lifespan of a cedar roof is between thirty and forty years and can be slightly longer than asphalt roofs, although this can vary depending on individual circumstances such as the frequency of extreme weather conditions and whether there are any overhanging trees nearby.
The best way to increase the durability of a cedar roof is to treat the wood with a preservative which will penetrate and fully absorb into the woods grain. It's probably wise to repeat this treatment every five years or so to ensure longevity and help to prevent mildew, mold and rotting. As well as applying a wood preserver, it's essential to regularly remove debris such as rotting foliage, dust and dirt.
Cedar Shingles Prices
During the research phase of your project you will soon discover that the price of cedar shingles can vary greatly and this is because the products themselves can be completely different depending on where you shop.
Each type of cedar shingle will have its own special price so you need to decide the type you want to purchase and then have the retailer work out exactly how much timber you will need.
Extensive research may help to save you money as you may find out where the best suppliers are and this will ensure that you won't make any costly errors by purchasing the wrong wood.

Romero, Argento, Poe? Ker-ching! Sadly Craven and Carpenter dropped out of this horror anthology, hence the overstretched feel haunting the remaining tales.
While the Harvey Keitel-starring The Black Cat is post-prime Argento offering echoes of his vindictive best, Romero's M Valdemar (Poe's only zombie story) is dutiful, if dull.
What could have been a classier Creepshow is a portmanteau of opportunities missed.
Four Evil Eyes? If only.

With the Punjab and Haryana High Court coming down heavily on the lewd lyrics of songs sung by singer-rapper Honey Singh, the Punjab Police Friday booked him for singing vulgar songs in public.
A case was registered against the singer under provisions of Section 294 (singing, reciting or uttering any obscene song, ballad or words, in or near any public place) of the Indian Penal Code in Punjab's Nawanshahr town, some 80 km from here, a police official said.
"We have registered a case against singer Honey Singh for his vulgar songs following the high court directions," Superintendent of Police S.S. Bhangoo told over phone from Nawanshahr.
The police officer was, however, evasive when asked as to why a case was not registered against the singer when a complaint against him was filed by an NGO earlier this year.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court had Tuesday directed the Punjab Police to book Honey Singh for singing songs based on sexual themes and innuendoes.

How to Remedy Trigger Finger
It seems that trigger finger is not the most common of injuries that people experience, but when it occurs, it is a real nuisance. It affects your ability to grab objects and can be very painful. For those not sure what trigger finger is, it is a syndrome that occurs when you bend a finger and the finger locks in position at some point and will not completely straighten again. For most people when this occurs, the only way to extend the finger is to use the other hand. Upon extending the finger, there is severe snapping feeling and severe pain at the affected joint.
Many believe that the cause is the result of some abnormality of the structure at the affected joint. The solution in most cases is the same for most issues relating to pain; a cortisone shot to the joint. In cases I have treated, some people have told me they had a short term relief of the symptoms and others there was no resolution of the symptoms with a cortisone shot. As I will always attest to, regardless of the cause of pain, cortisone will never resolve the cause; it will only mask the symptom.
I see trigger finger in a way that most have never attempted to view it and I would like to share this premise with you.The tendons that run on top and below your fingers to the tips begin as muscles that originate at the elbow. The muscles/tendons pass several joints to reach the tips of the fingers. When the muscles strain, there is a tendency for them to shorten. When the tendons on the top of the fingers are shortened enough and you bend your fingers, once you pass a certain point, the joint can no longer straighten due to the compressive forces of the severely shortened muscle/tendons. The pain that is experienced at the joint when you straighten it is due to the excessive rubbing of the joint surfaces created by the tightened muscle/tendon.
The solution to resolving trigger finger is to strengthen the wrist and finger extensors. Wrist extension exercises can be performed with a dumbbell by sitting next to a surface like a table and placing the forearm on the surface with the palm facing down and the wrist just off the surface. Holding a weight in the hand, allow the wrist to bend toward the floor as far as it can go and then raise the weight bending the wrist upward as far as it can go while still keeping the forearm flat on the surface.
Complete the exercise by performing three sets of ten repetitions with a resistance that makes it somewhat difficult to complete the all ten repetitions. This will provide the strengthening of the appropriate muscles to help these muscles to maintain their length and allow the finger joints to bend and extend without locking. To strengthen the finger extensors, simply place a rubber band around the fingers and open the fingers against the resistance of the rubber band. Three sets of ten repetitions will do. Try to progressively find rubber bands with increasing resistance.
I have used this technique to resolve my patients' trigger finger issues. You should give it a try.

Among the club adventures, late night phone calls, lunch dates and casual encounter I have just noticed a missed connection. Technically I didnt notice anything but instead it was brought to my attention. We had actually been friends for the last couple of months keeping up appearances through oovoo and late night conversations. The other night on one of our typical till i fall asleep conversations i uncovered his feelings.He claimed that we had already had a conversation about our standing with each other but like most things it went over my head. I remember the convo he is talking about and to my knowledge there was no declaration of feelings.
Even with the second and more obvious declaration of feelings there has been no change for the better. Why state for stating sake? The same way he declared his feelings is the same way i pushed them aside because this would happen. I knew that i would be writing missed connection instead of ultimate potential replacement. I also i knew that his so called feelings was based on what i let him see.
I didnt give the grand tour of me letting him know every detail of my past, present nd future. That would mean that i would have faith in the possibilty of having a relationship. Luckily for him and me, I have no faith in him or relationships so i left him with one foot out the door at all times. Typically with a declaration of feelings i would push him out the door slam it and break off the knob to the friendship but instead with turning over a new leaf i left it open. All of my efforts sadly were done in vain because were is Mr. Missed Connection now……..nowhere to be found.
I am all about consistency and before his declaration he wasnt but now he is non exsistent. Since i wait around for no one his missed connection has turned into no connection. I can not be held responsible for the lack effort on my part because i dont care to be left holding the bag so i didnt even pick it up. I am upset i missed the connection not because of him but am I that disconnected that dont notice potential.
oh well like they say …..im on to next one. Disconnected or not i am keep my eyes open because now instead of breaking the knob off…im burning the house of the friendship down and wrecking the foundation. Disappoint is a pill I dont like to swallow so ill be staying away from it.

Love and the idea of it has become to complicated for words so I have preferred to write down my emotions. The thought of having to express my most inner thoughts and emotions is creepy. In writing the computer or paper doesnt talk back. In theory all people give you fake opinions and criticisms because most artist are sensitive about their shit. If all else fails you can hide behind the cloak of your work because when some one ask the troubling question "is that really how you feel" you can lie and say " NO, I am just expressing an Observation"
My Observation about me is that I like the chase, a guy trying to figure out my inner thought and feelings the idea that he cares and wants to know. No matter how fucked up a situation get's that he is still intrigued by me..but there's a catch! I cant tell you in person…Why?.because I rather write through text, letter or tumblr so that i dont have to look you in the eye and explain. I also dont have to watch you think of answer. 20% of the fear of rejection is due to that same action of watching people think of what they are trying to say..so I rather write it out.
Writing it means you can observe it express your rationale on the subject and we can act like it has no direct correlation to me. When writing no emotions leap of the page into the open atmosphere of interpretation and so my feelings dont get trampled and confused. A friend once said sometimes certain actions leave you vulnerable to getting hurt…well i believe thats as long as your emotions are not out to play with your safer than you think.
My words are my armor, shield and sword ….ready to guard, strike and protect at any moment so I choose to write my emotions, text you how I feel and totally dismiss any talks directly correlated with our feelings because I am afraid of anyone hurting me :-)

When I was little I thought you were a king,
When I was little you were my everything,
When I was little my heart was yours,
When I was little I was never ignored,
When I was little it was us against the world,
When I was little I danced on your feet,
When I was little you were more than sweet,
When I was little I used to sit in your lap and drive in the drivers seat,
When I was little you was the man that couldnt be beat,
When I was little I thought that things would never change,
Sadly I'm not little and your not the same,
Our everlasting love has flickered its last flame,
I am no longer daddy's little girl and your to blame,
Maybe one day I will peacefully dance on your feet,
Or you'll be the man that cant be beat,
Until then I'm standing on my own two feet,
And sitting in the drivers seat.

I do not want this man because I can not stand the way he uses his hands.
I do not want this man because I can not stand the way he lets people know he is a man .
I do not want this man because I can not stand the way he talks with mostly slang.
I do not want this man because I know that I am not the only one on his mind.
I do not want this man because he never wants to find the time to lime with me.
I do not want this man because he feels comfortable to lie to me.
I do not want this man because I find too many reasons why he is not right for me.
If I searched the land and even if he was the last suitable man, I still would not want this man.

I believe that on the shelf right next to the SAT books and before the GRE, MCAT & LSAT all girls should have a guide. A guide that teaches you how to navigate this world we called dating in the midst of your most crucial years..COLLEGE! I think the ideal of molding yourself in high school to what you think guys want leaves girls stranded in the years they are supposed to use it afterward. I have a firm belief that women like Jane Fonda mold themselves to fit into the life of the person they are with. Instead of it being two people coming together its more of one person losing their own identity to become one.
Girls take time to study books, fashion, sports and even the latest social networking trends to make themselves competitive for an open fish market of men. The only problem is if you already knew how to deal with yourself, there would be no need to make yourself competitive because you already stand apart from the rest. I don't know what a guy wants but I know what I want. Navigating my wants through college is hard because Im still finding me and he is also still finding himself. At least I would hope so and if he isn't well……..
"you had better be debt free and very into me my kind friend" then that's cool too.
All I am saying is I want a guide that says that there are other things to do then watch him play video games or spend nights upon nights watching stupid Heat games ( I as well as he knows Lebron ain't getting no ring). I want a guide that lets her know wanting to walk on the beach or going to museums is okay. My new policy is if I don't see myself as your wife, Im not keeping you in my life. A college girl needs a map that says start here COLLEGE BEGINS and end here HELLO GRADUATE along the map needs to your essential survival kit against heartache and break-ups because all college does is prepare you for an adult career not the other bumps in the road. The bumps in the road that you feel crazy for having because everyone else seems to be happy………that is until they close their door.
Sex and the city served its purpose for the women of that generation but what about the women of mine? The women of mine foolishly look at sex in the city and all the other outdated shows for inspiration not fully grasping the snake in the grass has shed his old skin and has a new set of scales and poisonous venom. Relationships and Love is hard even in college we need a guide so in the future we wont be making the same rookie mistakes and have to read books like "Think Like a Man" love you Steve, but in reality its pretty simple women need to go back to playing their role and be a WOMAN.

The UK Health Accounts project is overseen by a Project Board, which advises on data sources and methods as well as comments on the strategic direction of the work.
The Project Board comprises members from the Office for National Statistics, from all UK health administrations, from HM Treasury and an academic:
Prabhat Vaze, Chief Economist, ONS
Peter Goldblatt, Chief Medical Statistician, ONS
John Henderson, Department of Health
Alasdair Munro, Scottish Executive Health Department
Robin Jones, National Assembly for Wales
Karen Campbell, Department for Health, Social Services and Personal Safety, Northern Ireland
Andrew Sanderson, HM Treasury
Alistair McGuire, London School of Economics
Prabhat Vaze and Peter Goldblatt share the role of Chair.
The Project Board has approved the following set of quality criteria:
- Objectivity of methodology. Where there is a choice of sources, estimation techniques and so on, there will be an objective assessment of relative advantages and disadvantages, and full documentation of alternatives.
- Transparency of compilation methods, including assumptions and judgements, will be made available through clear metadata. All processes will be fully documented and available to users. Where possible, sensitivity analysis will be conducted to demonstrate the effect on final estimates of employing different sources and techniques.
- Use made of robust definitions and classifications. The OECD System of Health Accounts manual, which sets out the internationally agreed framework for the compilation of Health Accounts, will be adhered to unless there is fully argued and documented reason to act otherwise.
- External validation. The methodology will be validated by acknowledged experts, for example the OECD; the estimates will be validated by health economics and statistics experts.
- Measures of quality will accompany outputs. Qualitative, and if possible quantitative, measures of quality will accompany estimates.
- Impartiality of release of data. Data will be released according to the timetable originally set, subject to the Project Board's consideration of the quality of the data
- Access for all. Data will be published in articles in the Economic Trends and Health Statistics Quarterly paper publications, and will be made available on-line on the National Statistics website.

In the category of swanky food and wine events, The Embarcadero Center and San Francisco Magazine are putting on the San Francisco Fallfest 2004, an exhibition of wine and food in a "European style marketplace with live jazz." Last time I looked, Justin Herman plaza looked nothing like a European marketplace, but I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. They've got an impressive list of caterers and wineries who are on tap to both ply the attending public with free samples as well as some interesting demonstrations of culinary acrobatics and potentially some informational talks.
Most interesting to me are the "private" wine seminars which are sadly sold out at this point -- chances to taste horizontals or verticals of wine along with experts who talk about what THEY taste in the wines. Additionally there is a public session called "Exotic Produce Demonstration" that will involve discussion of sources for exotic produce in California as well as demonstration of cleaning and prep of these ingredients.
$75 bucks gets you into the event and presumably access to all the public sessions and tasty bites and sips. The real question is, how many tickets are they selling for this thing, because in San Francisco, no matter how good or exclusive these things are, they can turn into a day spent waiting on line after line for tiny morsels of food and baby sips of wine (like this year's Dine About Town opening party). Shudder.

Fred Taylor ends season with thumb injury
Maurice Christopher Jones-Drew (born March 23, 1985 in Oakland, California) is a professional American football player who currently plays running back for the Jacksonville Jaguars of the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted in the second round (60th overall) of the 2006 NFL Draft. Drew graduated from De La Salle High School in Concord and played three years of college football at UCLA before declaring himself eligible for the NFL draft after his junior year. He hosts a 2-hour radio show titled "Runnin' With MJD" which airs on SiriusXM satellite radio on channel XM 147. It airs on Fridays from 7 pm–9 pm (ET), and focuses on fantasy football talk and strategy.
Jones-Drew was born in Oakland, California, and graduated from De La Salle High School in Concord, California. De La Salle owns the longest winning streak in high school football history at 151 games. The football teams he played on never lost a single game during his 3-year career. He was an elusive, high-scoring running back and return specialist on offense and a punishing linebacker on defense. Jones-Drew somersaulted into the national consciousness on October 6, 2001, when, as a junior, he scored all four of De La Salle's touchdowns in a 29-15 nationally-televised victory over Long Beach Poly in the first game that ever matched up the nation's No. 1 and No. 2 ranked high school football teams. On the Spartans' opening drive, Jones-Drew received a short pass in the right flat on third-and-eight from the Poly 25-yard line. He broke a tackle and then sprinted down the right sideline before launching a spectacular forward somersault into the end zone. Drew next scored on a 29-yard reception on fourth down in which he ran a circle route out of the backfield down the left sideline and hauled in an over-the-shoulder touch pass at the goal line from quarterback Matt Gutierrez. Drew's third touchdown came in the second quarter when he burst through the line, shook off two tacklers, before hitting paydirt 17 yards later. Drew's final score salted away the historic De La Salle victory. It was a similar effort to his third touchdown and came on a 22-yard run with just under 7 minutes remaining. Drew finished with nine carries for 86 yards and three catches for another 79 yards.
During his junior season, Jones-Drew rushed for nearly 2000 yards, averaged nearly 12 yards per carry, and scored 26 touchdowns. He was rated the No. 1 all-purpose back in the nation by rivals.com.
