The Many Mysteries of Al Sharpton
It's Wednesday morning, the first day of Al Sharpton's National Action Network convention, and D'Juan Collins is telling me how the state took his son and won't give him back. A slight man in a linen button-down and a Bluetooth earpiece, Collins is passing out flyers with a baby photo of his son Isaiah and a plug for his site, www.SaveIsaiah.com. Isaiah, now seven, was put into foster care in 2007, when Collins was sent to prison. When I ask what he was sent in for, he demurs. The conviction was overturned last year, he says, but Brooklyn Family Court and the foster care agency have declined to return custody of his son.
He has come here, to Sharpton's annual civil rights confab, to get help. "I'm all about networking," Collins explains, "because I can't do this alone."
If the Reverend Al Sharpton has a nexus of power, it is here, in the sweaty third-floor ballroom of the Sheraton Times Square, where more than 6,000 activists have assembled to talk shop at panels with titles like "American Holsters: How the Gun Won," "The Role of Media in Crafting the Social Narrative," and "Truth to Power Revival." Outwardly, the annual civil rights hoedown is an essentially political event, a display of the influence Sharpton has aggressively cultivated over three decades in the national spotlight. But the convention is also a yearly pilgrimage for people, like Collins, who have been beaten by the system, screwed by insidious and structural racism that has stacked the deck against them. Because Al Sharpton, in addition to being a syndicated radio host, prime-time MSNBC talking head, and personal friend of the president, is still the guy you call when your kid gets shot.
Everyone I meet on Wednesday has a story. One woman at the conference tells me she's here for the first time this year because her nephew was killed in Harlem last week, and she wants to "talk to the reverend about gun control." Another spends the morning passing out yard signs that read: "My Civil Rights Were Violated."
In some circles, Sharpton is considered ridiculous—a 90s race-riot relic turned smug cable-news hack. It's easy to forget that he is probably the most powerful civil rights leader in the country, and a political kingmaker whose influence is evidenced by the parade of liberal pols who drop by his conference every year to pay their respects. New York Mayor Bill de Blasio was on hand Wednesday, as was Attorney General Eric Holder and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. President Obama is headlining Friday.

Temporary Sprayer for Rental Kitchen?
Good Questions
Q: I currently live in a rental unit that is lacking a sprayer in the kitchen sink. Are you aware of any item that is available to temporarily adapt an existing faucet? We have discovered that our landlords/managers are highly opposed to any upgrades that we would suggest/even opt to pay for at our expense (replacing the faucet is not an option).

You can buy for about five dollars, a sprayer that will replace aerator on your faucet. No tools are required to make the change. Your local hardware store should have the sprayers.
i just had one of the building handymen replace the existing faucet with a new but midrange faucet with a pull out spray head. it cost about $100. i kept the old faucet and will replace it when i leave. i also replaced the old light switches with lutron radio control dimmers. i will just put the old ones back on before i leave
I installed a $3 pivoting aerator nozzle from the grocery store on a lark and it actually works great. cheap and easy to install. And your landlord wont freak.
Remember those rubber ones that slip over the faucet and have a switch so you can have a stream or a spray?
You can also get a longer hose with a shower spray on it at the mega mart. They are usually for tubs, but you could keep it around for filling large pots or mop buckets.
Lovely commenters, you have given the OP 3 choices:
1. aerater attached to the tap
2. rubber hose sprayer attached to the tap
3. buy a new faucet with sprayer and replace old one when you leave.
Bravo, commenters!
Britta make a water filter attachment that also gives you a spray option.
I think you probably could get away with switching out the faucet and replacing the old one when you are done. I'm sure it comes in kit form.
One of the problems with the add ons to a faucet is that the faucet is probably low clearance already. Once you add an inch or so to the bottom - the screw on sprayers - you can't even wash a bowl underneath. I've been thinking about a replace with new (now)/replace with old (when I leave) myself.

I'm not so sure that there is a side that does want to stop illegal immigration -- I guess we will find out for sure once the House votes. But if there is a sizeable faction of Republican congressmen that is legitimately willing to sign onto amnesty before enforcement then that is a really bad sign. They should be saying, "Enforcement first, amnesty never"! And I don't hear that from many so-called Republicans.

Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist stopped all 29 Islanders shots to grab his first shutout of the season. The shutout was his 44th regular season shutout and 50th overall, tying him with Eddie Giacomin for most overall shutouts in Rangers history.
The King has now allowed two goals or fewer in 12 of his last 13 games, going 8-3-2 with a 1.66 goals against average and a .941 save percentage. His 19 wins this season are third-best in the NHL, and are just two behind Pittsburgh's Marc-Andre Fleury for the league lead.
"It was fun. A lot of fun," Lundqvist said about the game. "It felt like the playoffs for sure. Great atmosphere. Great game."
Girardi Gets First OT Winner
Defenseman Dan Girardi ended Saturday night's game with his overtime winner at 3:11 of the period. It was his first career overtime goal.
He finished with two blocked shots in 29:13. It was the third time this season he logged more than 29 minutes in a game.
"It's a pretty cool feeling when you score that goal," he said. "You see your whole team coming after you. It's a pretty good moment."
Brass Gets Helper on Winner
Derick Brassard picked up the primary assist on Girardi's overtime goal, giving him six points in six games as a Ranger. In addition to the assist, he finished with two hits and won 8-of-15 faceoffs in 19:22 of ice time.
"The atmosphere was just awesome," Brassard said of his first Rangers-Islanders game. "Just to see our fans there like that was incredible. And the game was physical, fast, high-pace all night. I've never played in a game like this before. It was unreal."
MDZ With a Strong Game
Defenseman Michael Del Zotto picked up the secondary assist on Girardi's goal and was credited with a game-high five blocked shots in 26:03 of ice time. The assist gave him 14 on the season, good enough for fifth on the team.
Boyle Stays Physical
Brian Boyle finished with two hits and three blocks in 14:50 of ice time. He ranks fifth in the NHL with 145 checks.

TODAY'S NEWS: Photos from GMA Week 2003
- Thursday, April 10, 2003
RED, WHITE & BLUE - You couldn't miss the patriotic banner when you walked in to the GMA Week registration area each day this week. Sponsored by Absolute Records, the banner was signed by any -- and many -- in the Christian music industry as they passed to and fro each day. One of Absolute's bands, Big Fat Jam, have been invited to Incirlik Air Force Base in Turkey where they'll deliver the 20-foot banner to the troops stationed there, right after GMA Week.
RODRIGO ESPINOZA - He's tall, he's talented, and he's married to Latin superstar, Yuri. But you'll soon know the One Voice Records, Chilean-born artist Rodrigo Espinoza for his music - and his incredible testimony -- when his Spanish-language album, "Me Inundas," releases in the United States later this summer. He's definitely one to watch.
SHAUN GROVES - So enough about the hair already. And the fact that Shaun's a little on the lean side. He says he's ready to move beyond that now. So his hair is kinder, gentler (less gel, no more spikes) and he's wearing a couple of layers now ("clothes that fit actually add some bulk as opposed to clothes that are baggy ... who knew?"). These are all good things to ponder while awaiting his Monroe Jones-produced, sophomore disc later this summer.
SOULJAHZ - The sibling trio of Jakob, Rachael, and Joshua Washington says the highlight of the past year had to be performing at "The One World Jam" in New York City's Radio City Music Hall -- alongside artists including Chicago, Nelly, Boyz II Men, Jah Rule, and many more legendary acts. "We didn't even know why we were there," says Rachael. "But it was a cool thing to be accepted in that realm."
STRANGE CELEBRITY - Now that they've reached their long-time goal of becoming a rock band with a record deal, Strange Celebrity has a little advice for aspiring rockers out there. "Go back to the source, to the roots of your musical influences -- not just to the hand-me-downs of that style. Like Led Zeppelin. They're musical influences were those guys who sit on the street corners and play the blues. So go deep into the sound and pull out your influences."
SHANE BARNARD & SHANE EVERETT - Dallas-based duo Shane Barnard and Shane Everett reached out and called upon the talents of Dallas-based Nichole Nordeman recently for their latest project "Carry Away". And when asked if they'd work with her again, Shane Barnard offered, "Are you kidding? Just put her on the cover. And if she'd re-sing everything on the album, we'd love it. She's an amazing person. She's really, REALLY good."
STEVEN DELOPOULOS - With the success of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," it truly is "a great time to be Greek" surmises Steven Delopoulous, former front man for folk/rock act Burlap to Cashmere. The singer/songwriter says his upcoming eb & flo Records solo debut, "Me Died Blue," was greatly influenced by his heritage and that he thoroughly enjoyed working with ... who else ... but producer Monroe Jones on the project.

NAMPA, ID-Last night's Nanook men's basketball game against NorthWest Nazarene was pretty epic. Epically long. No one wanted to lose this game but someone had to.
Ronnie Baker hit a clutch three for UAF with nine seconds left in regulation to send the game into overtime tied 69-69.
No Kevin Rima for NNU as he fouled out in the first overtime. The Nanooks benefitted as Andrew Kelly was wide open for a dunk in the paint to give the Nooks a 80-78 lead with 20 seconds left. But Michael Loomis answers with the floater to send it double overtime tied at 80.
Sergej Pucar makes a three to give the Nooks an 86-80 lead in the second overtime but the Crusaders nail three straight from beyond the arc. Stefan Tica answered with a triple of his own sending the game into triple overtime tied at 91.
The Nooks started another extra period with a Joe Slocum three to open the scoring in the third overtime. 94-91 Nooks.
It was 97-95 in favor of UAF after a Crusaders basket. UAF missed a shot but Andrew Kelly was there from the offensive board. He was trapped on the baseline and falling down he passes it to the top of the key for Baker who hits a huge three.
Mario Donaldson would attempt to spark NNU again with a tough layup. He had 24 points leading five other Crusaders in double figures.
Its' 100-98 with NNU on the come back again but Slocum follows a blocked shot with a layup to push UAF ahead 102-98 with less than a minute remaining.
The Nanooks hit critical free throws late and win 108-104 in triple overtime.
UAF shot 50 percent from the field. All the starters were in double figures led by Baker's game high 26 points. They went 15-31 from downtown and are 9-5 in the GNAC which is third.
UAF faces Central Washington tonight.

How loyal are you to the brand you represent?
Over Christmas, Melinda Gates (wife of Bill) was a guest editor on BBC's Radio 4 Today programme. She was asked if she allowed her children to have iPods, to which she replied no, as their lives had been built upon Microsoft's success and she was loyal to that.
A few days later, Sir Howard Stringer (the former first British CEO to head Sony) was on Desert Island Discs and was asked the same question. Although he said that his kids were too old for him to stop, he would not use an iPod due to loyalty to Sony.
So my question this week is whether as marketers we feel loyal to the products we promote?
My career started with a high street bank and in those days (one assumes before the Human Rights Act had any muscle), contractually you had to have your salary paid into that bank, and every month your manager would open your bank statement in front of you and ask about every transaction - on the pretext that if you couldn't look after your own money, you could hardly look after that of a customer. Now, although I was a pillar of society, I did resent the compulsion to be forced to buy from my own company.
As I moved through my career, different brands "encouraged" me to be loyal with discounted products but this was an equally shaky premise in that it led to employees failing to empathise with customers who were paying much more and/or created challenges with after-sales service, where the operational people resented giving great service to people who were not paying the full whack.
For me, loyalty among employees should be the same as it is with customers - it should be earned. Brands need to market to their own staff in the same way as they do consumers, such that employees feel proud to carry their brand in their pocket, eat their brand at the breakfast table or drive their brand to the local supermarket.
As marketers, it also keeps us on our toes - to keep our prices keen, to improve any inferior features, while giving us something to puff our chest out about when in the pub/talking on Facebook with friends and family. As Victor Kiam once said of Remington: "I liked it so much, I bought the company".
Readers' comments (1)
Yes, employee loyalty should be earned. Yes, think about your employees as you do your customers. But the value of doing so can be measured in so much more than just a few more packets sold. Marketers should be collaborating with HR to use the power of their brands to create healthy internal cultures, grounded in the brand values which will in turn deliver real impact on the bottom line. It's the great missed opportunity argued here http://bit.ly/Q9KG1x and more seriously here http://bit.ly/AmtDCN

I'll pass.
John stocken pass looks wise 7 or 8. You watch more of here videos, and you know why I passed.
Member the controversy surrounding her. Her face gets weekend wifey alone. Body (enhanced or not) is a bonus
Yup yup
Team Fairytales @ it again…..
I'll Pound Her Azz. Fake Or Not. That Gif Tho. LOL….
She has been doctored you have to be blind to see it, Hahz that GIF is wrong and funny!
Team Fairytales is really the gift that keeps on giving.
Wow not bad, not bad at all
But on a side note i appreciate the GIFS, but at same time after about 10 they become a lil creepy, baby seem to have alot of time on her hand
Real creepy. Thought it was just me. That thumbnail of her waiving outside made me think that.
Im sorry but i have followed this girl on Twitter, and I have a few issues with this chick….First off I hate the fact that she appears to be so real, and down to earth by saying she really doesnt like the compliments that she gets from guys. If a chick doesnt want thirsty compliments, u wouldnt keep posting your titties and ass left and right….So u not foolin nobody…She seem a lil…..LOT attention starved. Secondly i've seen the YT videos and chick is dumb as f@ck…How the hell do u spend 7 minutes talking about how pretty u think your hair is? really… And i hope other fellas might not be getting fooled this chick does live in the bay area (aka near San Francisco), its easy to be a man and appear to be a woman, especially when its thru a computer screen, (just look at her hands…Kinda big even for a girl right) even as a man I kno that a woman cant pick and choose her fat, Lets see, DDD titties, like a 26″ waist, and like a 55 inch waist?!? Not realistic at all…she has a pretty face, but that body makes me think twice! And with as dumb as chick sounds if she can make so many gif's all day she clearly has too much time on her hands! I like my women smart and real….This chick is neither!
In her vids whats with all the random "Let me stop and admire myself (Im so pretty), Ok back to the vid" breaks? AWKWARD!!
The type of bitch I don't even look twice at. Superficial. I bet this hoe think she better than other blk chicks cause of her hair. She cute and her body nice but she ain't a 10 in da face. No hate just hate bitches who be made up like clowns
She needs to wear thongs. The Granny Panty Wedgie is NOT appealing… Even if you do got a big ass….Which looks fake as fuck!
too many nationalitys in the bloodline = fruitcake.
too many nationalities = Liar. Its possible but you only have so many bloodlines in one family…
Most of you are being critical, knowing good and well nearly all of you would smash– so why bash?????
[…] argument about Raychiel's body being photoshopped is like arguing in a barber shop about who is greatest basketball in the […]

Well folks – the time has come. In just under an hour, the NFL season (sans Opening Night) will kick off and the next five months are going to be football heaven.
Thankfully, with over a week to recover since the preseason concluded, injuries are at a relative minimum so many star players will be on the field.
Make sure you check your fantasy football lineup so you don't get stuck with an inactive player on your roster – nothing more aggravating than that.
Below are the inactive players for the Cincinnati Bengals – Chicago Bears game, which is scheduled for a 1 p.m. kickoff.
Cincinnati Bengals:
RB Rex Burkhead, T Andrew Whitworth, G Mike Pollak, CB Brandon Ghee, DE Margus Hunt, WR Dane Sanzenbacher, and WR Ryan Whalen
Chicago Bears:
WR Marquess Wilson, CB C.J. Wilson, RB Michael Ford, G/T James Brown, TE Dante Rosario, DE David Bass, and DT Zach Minter
Pretty quiet on the fantasy front as none of the inactives should be key players on your team, unless you're in a 20-deep league.

Judges have heard cases inside the Starke County Courthouse for 115 years, but in all that time cameras have not been allowed inside the courtroom. That was until now.
"It's part of history here in Starke County Circuit Court," says Judge Kim Hall. The state agreed to allow cameras inside his courtroom, not for a criminal case or a sensational trial, but instead for something positive
"The families have consented to allow the public to view the ceremony," he says. It's an adoption ceremony. Four boys are becoming part of their forever families. That includes Isaiah.
With the stroke of a pen he will officially be adopted by his grandparents. They say Isaiah's mom left the picture four years ago.
"My wife and I can lay down at night and know our grandson is safe and we don't have to worry about whether he has food on the table or clothes on this back or a safe place to stay," says Isaiah's grandpa Richard Earnest.
The reason the cameras are being allowed is to spread awareness. It's in honor of National Adoption Day, a day when advocates remind us that there are more than 100,000 children in foster care waiting for adoption.
"Research shows there are families that are willing to adopt so national adoption day is all about bringing those families together with the children who need to be adopted," says Rhonda Adcock from Starke County.
Isaiah doesn't have to wait any longer. The Earnests are his family now and forever. "This is a very special day for me," Isaiah says. "I love them so much."

Roasted Eggplant with Pomegranate, Pickled Chiles, and Pecans
Photo: Johnny Autry; Styling: Cindy Barr
Eggplant is a staple in the Middle East, and they sure do know how to cook it. It's stellar: smoky and light and not at all bitter. The trick is to cook it whole over a gas stovetop burner or on a hot grill. The outside gets all charred as the inside steams, gathering a nice smoky overtone and becoming perfectly cooked. Toasted pecans and pickled jalapeños infuse some Southern accents into the traditional dish. If you can't find pomegranate arils (they come already "shucked" in the produce section), just omit them, or drizzle on a wee bit of pomegranate molasses.
Yield: Serves 4 (serving size: 1 topped eggplant half)

Huge Canon to Nikon switch: CanonFieldReviews.com switches to NIKON (and risks losing credibility by deciding to remove all previous Canon reviews!)
oH MY! This is HUGE! CanonFieldReviews.com has decided to *gasp* switch to Nikon! You read right, and it is not April 1st in any part of the world yet! The long post there explains the switch, and how a chance to use the Nikon D3s for an assignment (when the 1D Mark IV was not available) turned into a love affair with Nikon gear. Sample action pictures with the D3s are included!
This alone would have been big news, but there is also something disturbing: Ole JL has announced that he will be DELETING all his previous Canon reviews because now he is a "Nikon Ambassador" and no longer a "Canon Master".
I hope the author of CanonFieldReviews will reconsider this. If nothing else, he can have his reviews hosted somewhere else. Reviews are part of the knowledge-base (and history) for cameras, I cannot see why they need to be deleted!!! So please don't delete them!!!
For more on the camera responsible for the switch, we could call her the "Helen of Troy" I suppose, be sure to check the D3s reference page.
This will kill the credibility of Individual Camera Reviewers (Canon/NikonFieldReviews for sure)
Needless to say, deleting reviews because someone switches camera camps would be a VERY BAD PRECEDENT. It's bad enough many people are suspicious of reviews and reviewers - if every time a high-profile photographer switches from one brand to another, they DELETE everything they wrote before, that KILLS THE CREDIBILITY of reviews and reviewers.
This could set a dangerous precedent where manufacturers could strategically begin wiping out positive reviews of their competitor's cameras by recruiting photographers who had previously posted positive reviews.
Or perhaps...
... photographers who are part of an "all-star" program for a particular camera manufacturer should not be publishing reviews? Or they should call it something different, like gearhead technical marketing?

This year's audience T-shirt
Back in February we encouraged all creative souls to submit a design for a Roskilde Festival T-shirt. This contest resulted in hundreds of designs. We've seen designs that make use of everything from beer bottles, orange coloured worlds and camp site maps.
According to the audience, the winning design has that special orange feeling to it. It is simple, rock n roll and fun at the same time. The design is created by Laura Beate Konrad.
Of course, the winning T-shirt will be for sale in our web shop and you can buy it at the festival this summer as well.
Thanks to everyone who has submitted designs. Many of them were so good that they could easily work on T-shirts. Let this be an encouragement to go print your own T-shirts.

text: hi i was looking to get buccal fat removal on my cheeks for a slimmer face, but one side of my face is thinner than the other. in fact, this is not a slight problem because the left side of my cheek is really chubby and the right side is medium/thin. what can be done about this? i'm guessing that it wouldnt be possible to have the fat extracted from one cheek, but if thats not possible then how can this problem be sorted? thanks for reading.

Fight Nerd Correspondent Hiroko Yamamura spoke with women's MMA up-and-comer Felice Herrig this weekend at "Fight Tour" in Illinois. Herrig was scheduled to face Kelly Warren at 115 lbs., but Warren weighed in eight pounds over the limit and was unable to make weight in the alloted time. Herrig spoke about her disappointment over this, as well as why this is a slap in the face for women's MMA. Plus, Tim Sylvia sneaks on camera for a few seconds – that dude lost serious weight!
Felice Herrig on this weekend's cancelled fight and state of women's MMAAugust 23, 2011 4

4 Comments »
Felice is right – not making weight is seriously unprofessional, for a man or a woman, and is especially detrimental to Womens MMA at a time when they need all the positive buzz that they can get to counteract the negative perceptions held by such important players as Zuffa/UFC, as well as a subset of MMA fans who don't seem to take women in the sport seriously.
Felice's fight is at least the third womens bout in the past week or two that has cancelled for this reason, and this fact plays right into the hands of the nay-sayers out there, who almost seem to want women's MMA to fail.
The women in the sport have to be 110% on their game AT ALL TIMES right now, as this is a pivotal time in the sport for them. If the hater's viewpoint gets reinforced by the fighters themselves, the future will be bleak for women in the sport. So, to all the women fighters out there, I ask this:
Conduct yourselves as professionals at all times! Don't get into profanity-laced twitter wars over nonsense, don't duck fights that you feel are beneath you, and most of all, show up ready to fight if you do get a fight!
Like it or not, you are being held to a higher standard than the men in the fight game. This is probably true of any endeavor from the gym to the workplace where women are making inroads into formerly male-only activities. Regardless of whether this is fair or not, it is a fact, and you need to commit yourself to meeting and exceeding this standard in the ring, in your online affairs and on the street.
Felice is one of womens MMA's best representatives and one of its' most tireless promoters. She leverages everything she can get access to in order to promote the sport, whether or not she has a fight booked. The rest of the girls who are interested in joining the ranks of women fighters would be wise to study the way she does things and get busy promoting themselves, their sport and their gender in a positive, professional light. If we all pull in the same direction and don't give the haters anything to hang their hats on, the sport will take off that much faster and everyone benefits.
Good job, Felice!
Felice was great in this interview…but dang debra..WTF…you really should know the names of the people you are interviewing, and more importantly try to pay attention and pretend to be interested while they are talking. You ask a question than just drift off, are you thinking of the next question before hearing her answer? The nerd needs to work with you a bit more…
Sorry to be a harshy this mornin…if you want more traffic, your videos have to be compelling enough to make the other sites share it.
Haha..wow! It's probably a good idea to know the name of the person you're interviewing BEFORE doing the actual interview…and if you get it wrong, that's what editing is for.

Take a deep breath. Feel. What you are feeling in this moment will always be OK. Know that pain is always an acceptable part of life. We cannot have the beautiful flower without the mud.
A beautiful and poignant piece about some of the real issues surrounding addiction, escapism from emotional pain. Gabor Maté has always been a favorite of mine for his amazing holistic view on addiction and life's struggles.
Many people ask me, if porn is unhealthy for me but I still want to masturbate every now and then without hindering my recovery, how can I do this? Masturbation without porn or fantasy and in moderation can be a healthy activity and a part of a healthy life style. But this is not for everyone, if you have Erectile Dysfunction caused by porn, a religious tenant against it, or if you simple enjoy the experience of abstinence, then by all means stay masturbation free! :)
With compulsive porn abusers it's clear that porn is the real issue, which leads to excessive masturbation. But without the porn around to over stimulate the brain, it's clear that many people don't masturbate even half as much. We have been pleasuring ourselves for a long, long time before porn came around, and with the proper moderation it can be a helpful tool to balance our lives. In general, those who are just starting the recovery process may have a more difficulty engaging in this practice. Don't worry, after a few weeks or a month of removing porn from your life you will find becoming aroused much easier. Continue Reading
A great audio interview over at NPR with neuroscientist David Linden. In it David talks about his new book Compass Of Pleasure, detailing the brain on a neurochemical level when we interact with addictive substances and behaviors. One of the most interesting things I took home from this interview was how his findings point to STRESS as a major contributor to sudden increases in cravings for the addictive substance or behavior.
'Compass Of Pleasure': Why Some Things Feel So Good [NPR]
While most people are able to achieve a certain degree of pleasure with only moderate indulgence, those with blunted dopamine systems are driven to overdo it.
"Any one of us could be an addict at any time," Linden says. "Addiction is not fundamentally a moral failing — it's not a disease of weak-willed losers.
Hi everyone! I just wanted to share this amazing Reddit Gold caliber article, a harrowing self account of misery to freedom from one man who has passed the 2 year mark of life without porn. It is touching and informative, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
The experience of someone two years porn free
"I was 34 years old when I decided to quit, after having done porn pretty continuously, and increasingly, from the age of 13 when I found my Dad's magazines in his bedside drawer. By the time I decided to quit, I was married (unhappily – though I wasn't totally conscious of that fact), and had a two-year-old daughter. I was a software engineering manager making a bunch of money, I had a big house in a posh neighborhood. I had all the outward signs of success…. (click here)"
A very inspiring and wisdom filled piece by Joe Rogan. One way we can begin to learn the art of embracing reality, is through Mindfulness Meditation. I strongly suggest anyone on this path of recovery to dedicate 10 to 20 minutes of Mindfulness Meditation every day. It will help us come back to our true home, the here and now.
"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift."
This meditation is similar to the Loving-Kindness Meditation except that it focuses on self-compassion. What is compassion? Self-Compassion: An acceptance that you are suffering, coupled with a deep seeded authentic wish that your suffering is stopped. What flows from this mind of compassion is natural actions of self care and non-harming, combined with a joy and excitement that comes from engaging in actions that will result in your long term happiness and the removal of your suffering. Continue Reading
Loving-kindness meditation is the art of awakening the heart through intentions of goodwill and compassion, practiced for thousands of years by various Buddhist traditions. Today, modern science is now verifying it's amazing ability for radical, positive transformation and healing. It will lead us to a deeper understanding of the causes of suffering and the causes of peace and contentment in our life. Leading us naturally to take up care and drop violence in our thoughts, speech, and actions.
So, what does all this have to do with porn addiction? Continue Reading

Last season, New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony was bothered by a tear in his left shoulder at the end of the 2012-13 NBA season.
Anthony, who admitted the injuries in his shoulder were a torn rotator cuff and partially torn labrum, is now happy that he chose rehab instead of surgery.
"I'm ecstatic going from a torn rotator cuff and torn labrum to not needing surgery," Anthony told reporters in Manchester, New Hampshire after a 111-81 loss to the Boston Celtics Saturday via Ian Begley of ESPN New York. "Let me take that back: taking a risk in not taking surgery and letting it heal on its own. I took a huge risk in doing that. It meant I had to put more time in the offseason to do what I had to do to get it right."
Last season, Anthony averaged 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game. He shot 44.9% from the field, 37.9% from beyond the arc and 83.0% from the free throw line and helped the Knicks win a playoff series over the Boston Celtics for the first time since 2000.

German Army – Tassili Plateau 7.9
German Army's "Tassili Plateau" lingers in the mind long after it is gone. Figuring out exactly what is going on is most of the fun. Industrial landscapes abound throughout the eleven tracks. None of the songs go beyond the three minute limit. Everything appears to run out of energy before then. On the longer tracks a clear homage is given to Cabaret Voltaire's style of work. The brighter songs tend to go for a more Black Dice approach. Either way it is hard to exactly pinpoint exactly all of the influences and elements thrown into the mix.
"Mumbai" sounds extremely similar to Black Dice's "Crowd Pleaser" off their "Creature Comforts" album. From there things get incredibly dark with the skeletal industrial rumblings of "Antiseptic". Guitar picks can almost be heard over the near-murmur of vocals. "Indian Beast" is heavier still without any vocals to potentially lighten its foreboding vibe. Trudging through comes "Nepalese" which has at least a discernible drum pounding alongside whatever else managed to introduce itself. Oddly the song "Bondage 1" is one of hope while the drones conform into a bright tone.
Towards the end of the album the songs appear to remove the apocalyptic undertones of the music. Instead the last few songs have a greater clarity about them. "Sexual Cycle of Human Norms" displays this different approach quite obviously, with clear synthesizers and gentle guitars. Even the harsh "Smooth Voice" appears to be slightly warmer than what preceded it. German Army ends it on the mellow note of "Goa". "Tassili Plateau" is less an album and more a mystery.

Gabriel Aubry and Halle Berry have reached a truce in their war over that Thanksgiving Day blowout between Gabriel and Olivier Martinez -- and their lawyers announced the peace accord with the simplest possible statement.
Halle's attorney Blair Berk just walked into the hallway outside court, and held up a piece of paper with this handwritten message: "The parties have reached an amicable agreement. There will be no further statements regarding this matter."
The statement came from Berk and Shawn Holley, Gabriel's attorney.
As TMZ first reported ... both sides were working hard to hammer out an agreement, and went into court today to present their terms to the judge.
Halle and Olivier were not in court today, but Gabriel did show up ... sporting shades to hide his gruesome bruises from the fight.
Halle obviously knew Aubry was going to win this case, that is the only reason I can see for her to agree to a secret settlement. Olivier had no right to stick his nose in this. This custody issue is between Halle & Aubry! Only these two are the parents, not Olivier. That's just the way these things are. Halle choose Aubry and she chose to have a child by him and she choose to leave him, now she has to continue to deal with the consequences. The power is in her hands, she can make the visitations hard or easy it is in her hands!
I think it is insulting that the parties involved and the lawyers are treating this totally as a legal matter, and we're supposed to accept that everything is ok now, the brilliant lawyers resolved it all. What crap. This is an extreme domestic violence case. This is a case where Child Protective Services needs to resolve it. Where three adults need to get into some counseling, to find a way to raise this child in a safer, less hostile environment.
that bigot bytch and french *** deserve each other.
Let the man be in his daughter life.
This is just one of many legal battles coming up. All today was about is the restraining order. It expired. It doesn't look like Halle tried to put an extension on it. I would think that Gabriel's physical abuse and the fight would be handled separately. Might be wrong.
Somebody needs to tell Oliver Martinez to stay the****outof Gabriel's daughter life.
I believe Aubrey will let this sick relationship between Oliver and Halle destruct in it's own time.
He may be wiser than we know
Might just have professional involved and advising him.
He needs to avoid the triangle.
Let those two face each other without using him as a projection object.
He has kept them together
As an object of hate.
How long will Oliver stick around when his hopes of Halle bank rolling his retirement in France has disappeared ?
Aubrey agrees to the present situation
Other agencies are in the mix and Oliver will not pass the test
All in good time.
And it just doesn't just stop in the US! I am in Mexico where they would love to treat her and her smelly french frog to some "Mexican-Style 'justice" since he thinks he's so tough! C'MON DOWN, OLLIE!!!!!!
ALL of them need to get it together for the sake of the child! I do put a lot of the blame on Halle, some woman can be so evil!
I wonder if Gabriel was going to sue Olivier for lost wages or something to that effect for messing up his model face. He has stitches under his eye and you know that will leave scaring. I know that Photoshop does great things with photos, but still -- that might have been part of it, too.
I honestly can see that Halle Berry is a horrible, horrible woman. Who tries to just move across the Earth and take their child away from their father to be with the latest in a string of men they are f&cking? She has been with just about half the planet she is such a hosebag. It's obvious looking at Gabriel's wounds that he was attacked and ambushed. I will never, ever go and watch that idiot Berry again. I hope f&cking that martinez is worth it b*tch because at some point, he will dump you, like everyone else, because you are bona fide crazy! And on that day, I pray that at least your innocent child is old enough to go and live with her father. Halle, you are a sick, disgusting excuse for a human being. What the eff happened to you as a child? Did your dad make you hide the sausage?
Interesting Chris Brown got criminal charges but OM is not touched or deported. Must be one of the big reasons they are willing to settle.
On another website it is being reported that Nahla was supposed to spent Thanksgiving with Gabriel but Halle asked for her to celebrate at her house and Gabriel said ok. This makes the set up scheme seem all the more real.
Awww i missed Shawn :(
Halle only asked Gabriel to let her have Nahla on Thanksgiving to get his -ss beat by Oliver. Gabriel happily obliged her because he knew it meant so much to her. Again, Gabriel sue in civil court and take them to the ringer. They jeopardized your career by messing up your handsome face. You might have to retire early.

Kansas City Royals (14-11)@
Minnesota Twins (12-13)
Sunday, May 03
Attendance: None
Game Leaders
1 (0)
Minneapolis, MN (Sports Network) - Jose Guillen hit a three-run homer in Kansas City's five-run seventh inning, as the Royals ruined Scott Baker's no- hit bid and beat the Twins, 7-5, in the rubber match of a three-game series.
Minnesota held a 4-0 lead going into the top of the seventh, and Baker (0-4) hadn't allowed a hit. But he unraveled in the frame and did not record an out before being pulled, as Guillen's homer and Alberto Callaspo's two-run double later in the inning gave the Royals the sudden lead.
The rally made a winner out of Gil Meche (2-2), who gave up four runs on seven hits and two walks in six innings. Joakim Soria allowed a run in the ninth, but retired the side for his sixth save of the season for Kansas City, which took the final two contests of this series and has won four of five overall.
Baker ended up allowing the five runs on five hits and a walk in six-plus innings for the Twins, who have dropped two in a row after a three-game win streak.
Michael Cuddyer went 2-for-3 with two runs batted in for Minnesota, while Justin Morneau had three hits, including a pair of doubles.
Baker was nearly perfect through six innings, but had his no-hit bid ended by the first batter of the seventh, as Willie Bloomquist singled up the middle. The fans cheered for Baker's effort and the Twins starter went back to work, but he was suddenly ineffective.
Mark Teahen singled, and Guillen hammered a belt-high fastball to right-center for the three-run homer. With the outcome of the game up in the air, Baker remained in and allowed back-to-back singles to Mike Jacobs and David DeJesus.
Baker was pulled for Luis Ayala, and Callaspo greeted him by hammering a ball to left to plate two runs. Callaspo was thrown out trying to reach third base, but his hit gave Kansas City a 5-4 advantage.
Ayala got out of the inning from there, but R.A. Dickey took over for Minnesota in the top of the eighth and got into trouble when Bloomquist smacked a ball to deep right-center field.
Twins center fielder Denard Span caught up to the ball, but it bounced off his glove and Bloomquist ended up on third. Guillen's double on a drive to left two batters later plated Bloomquist for a 6-4 edge.
The Royals tacked on another run in the ninth on Coco Crisp's sacrifice fly.
Kansas City's final two runs proved to be important during Minnesota's ninth- inning rally. Soria got the first two batters out, but committed a throwing error on Span's batted ball. Span raced to second on the play, then scored on a pinch-hit single from Joe Mauer. However, Soria got Morneau to ground out into the shift to end the game.
In the first, Morneau's RBI single put the Twins ahead, and they went up 2-0 on Cuddyer's run-scoring double in the fourth.
Minnesota scored two more runs in the sixth, which Morneau opened with a double to the left-center gap. Morneau tagged up to third on a fly out from Jason Kubel, then crossed home on Cuddyer's single.
Cuddyer stole second and went to third after the throw sailed into center field. Delmon Young followed with a single up the middle to make it a 4-0 game.

The Idea1 Reviews
Atem is gone and Yugi is depressed. In order to get him out of it, Joey and the gang get him to join the schools play. What happens when the play is The Phantom of the Opera? YYxY Puzzleshipping!
Angel of Music
The idea
"Come on Yugi, you've got to do somethin' pal," Joey said. He wrapped an arm around Yugi's shoulders and looked down at the shorter one.
"I know Joey, it's just… I'm not really feeling up to it," Yugi replied.
"Yugi, it's been a year already. Ya can't keep dwelling on him," Joey said.
"I know Joey, I know," Yugi sighed, "I just miss him so much."
"I know Yuge, we all do," Joey said, choosing his words carefully, "But Atem's where he belongs now."
"I keep telling myself that, but it still hurts to think about him," Yugi whispered.
"Then, let's do something to get your mind offa him," Joey said as he led Yugi down the hallway.
"I don't think this is a good idea," Yugi said.
"Come on Yuge, it's just a play. Besides, I heard that Kaiba's trying out too," he replied.
"Kaiba? Seto Kaiba? Who talked him into trying out for a play?" Yugi asked incredulously.
Yugi snorted and shook his head. Figures, that's the only person that Kaiba will do anything for, including trying out for a play. The two walked into the school's auditorium. There were several dozen people sitting around talking about what kind of play the school might have chosen. Joey spotted Tea and Ryou halfway down the auditorium and waved to them. He and Yugi joined them just as the play's director, and their history teacher, Mr. Takara walked out on the stage.
"Alright everyone, settle down," he said, "I'm sure you're all eager to learn what play we're doing."
The crowd murmured their agreement and Mr. Takara smiled.
"We'll be doing a version of The Phantom of the Opera. I say version because it'll be slightly different. Our own Joey Wheeler has made it clear that he is willing to rewrite part of the play to suit the school's budget," he said.
Joey stood up and scratched the back of his head sheepishly while smiling slightly. The group looked at him shocked. He sat back down and looked at them.
"I didn't know you were helping out," Tea said.
"Yeah, Mr. Takara asked me to redo part of the play for him," Joey said.
"That's great, Joey!" Ryou said.
"Thanks," he replied, "Oh; he's talking again, shhh."
The group turned their attention back to Mr. Takara, who was talking about the auditions.
"The auditions for the play will take place tomorrow afternoon. They will be closed auditions, meaning only one person in there at a time. The judges will be myself and Miss Bosela, the music teacher. Each person is expected to act out a small part as well as sing part of a song from the play. The men will be singing part of Music of the Night, while the girls will be singing part of Think of Me. I hope you'll all audition," he said.
The auditorium burst into noise as the crowd started talking excitedly about the upcoming auditions.
"So Yugi, do you think you'll audition?" Ryou asked.
"I don't know…"
"Of course he is. After all, his best friend is writing the thing, so of course he's going to try and be a part of it," Joey said.
"No buts Yugi. Ya need to get out of the game shop for a while and this play is the perfect chance to do it," Joey said.
"I have to agree, Yugi. You do need to do something else," Tea said quietly.
Yugi sighed. He knew there was no arguing with them.
"Fine, I'll try out, but that doesn't mean I'll get a part," he said.
"That's okay, it's enough that your trying out," Ryou said.
The next day, after school
"Yugi, you're up next," a blonde girl named Julie said as she came out of the auditorium.
"Thanks," he said as he walked in.
"Break a leg, Yuge!" Joey shouted after him.
Yay, Yugi thought as he made his way down to the front of the auditorium.
"Hello Yugi, I'm glad you decided to try out," Mr. Takara said.
Yugi smiled, "Me too."
"Okay so we're going to act out a small part and then you're going to sing for us, okay?" he asked.
"Yep," Yugi replied.
They quickly acted out a small scene that featured the two owners of the playhouse in the story. When they finished, Mr. Takara wrote some notes down on his clipboard and Miss Bosela stood up and walked over to the piano. She sat down and played a few notes before turning to him.
"Okay Yugi, I want you to sing the first three verses from Music of the night," she said.
He nodded and began singing,
"Night-time sharpens,
heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defences ...
Slowly, gently night unfurls its splendour
Grasp it, sense it - tremulous and tender
Turn your face away
from the garish light of day,
turn your thoughts away
from cold, unfeeling light -
and listen to the music of the night ...
Close your eyes and surrender to your
darkest dreams!
Purge your thoughts of the life
you knew before!
Close your eyes,
let your spirit start to soar!
And you'll live
as you've never lived before ..."
Miss Bosela quit playing and made a few notes on her own clipboard. Yugi stood there nervously, waiting for them to tell him that he could go. Miss Bosela turned to him and tilted her head.
"Yugi, would you be willing to humor me for a moment?" she asked.
"Sure," he replied.
"Could you sing the first three verses of Think of Me?" she asked.
He looked at her strangely but nodded his head anyways. He took a deep breath again and started to sing the words. His soft tenor voice floated over the auditorium as the words slipped out of his mouth.
Think of me, think of me fondly,
when we've said goodbye.
Remember me once in a while -
please promise me you'll try.
When you find that, once again, you long
to take your heart back and be free -
if you ever find a moment,
spare a thought for me
We never said our love was evergreen,
or as unchanging as the sea -
but if you can still remember
stop and think of me . . .
Think of all the things
we've shared and seen -
don't think about the way things
might have been . . .
Yugi opened his eyes, never realizing that he closed them. Miss Bosela nodded her head in thanks and Mr. Takara let him go. He wondered what that was all about as he made his way back out into the hallway where Joey was waiting for him.
"So how'd it go?" Joey asked.
"Fine, though they had me sing the girls part too," he said.
"I don't know," Yugi confessed.
"Well, the results are announced on Friday, so you'll find out then what it was all about," Joey said.
"Yeah," Yugi murmured.
"In the meantime, pal, you and I are going to go get a burger," Joey said.
"Sure, why not?" Yugi asked as he smiled up at the taller blonde.
The two headed out of the school to grab a burger, never knowing just what kind of impact Yugi's audition would have on them.

Final Dream8 Reviews
The trip for the first stop of the tour begins!!
"It was a great movie," Monica told him. "Have you ever read the book?"
He smiled "Yea, long time ago but it has a different name I can't remember now" He moved his arm from her back and resituated himself on the sofa so that she could easier lay against his back.
The title of the book is "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" she told him quite proud of herself for remembering. I read it along time ago too."
"Oh, so you want to play trivia do you?" He rested his chin on the top of her head. "OK Miss Trivia, tell me who wrote it?"
She snorted, "Oh come on, Philip K Dick. You gotta do better than that. Way too easy. Give me something harder."
He chuckled evilly, "I've got something harder for you." His arm moved to rest on her shoulder, his fingers slowly brushing her breast. "And how strange that the authors name just happens to link right into this."
"Gerard Way you are so bad" she couldn't help it she giggled. "Come on give me a trivia question you think I can't answer.
He thought a moment, "Who wrote Dune?"
"Oh, come on. Frank Herbert. Too easy."
"Got one you won't get. On the soundtrack for the movie Dune what is the name of the track that I love?"
Monica laughed, "That is not a fair question and you know it." She reached back and touched his face. Touching him was something she couldn't stop doing. It was like she was reminding herself that she was really here with him. "But she added, I will guess the answer. I had the soundtrack and I know the group is Toto. I will guess your favorite track is "Final Dream".
He was momentarily speechless, "How the fuck could you know that?"
"Oh Gee, I'm a mind reader didn't you know?" Actually there was an explanation but she liked teasing him. He looked at her baffled.
"Ok, OK, truth. I was watching a video on YouTube where you guys played that music as an intro to the concert." She confessed.
"Yea, we did but we didn't give the name of the music" He was still confused. "How did you know?"
She snuggled closer to him. "Cause I did have the soundtrack and I loved it. As soon as I heard the music I knew what it was. It's a beautiful piece."
"You are so right for me its scary." He said in all sincerity. He pulled her up and turned her to face him. "Have I told you how much I love you today?"
Monica lost herself in his beautiful greenish blue eyes. She loved the way they seemed to change colors. Today the eyes that seemed to be looking into her soul were green. "You don't have to tell me I know you love me." She brought her lips to his.
"Yuck, they are kissing again" Franks voice was whinny. "Make them stop that," he said to no one in particular.
Gerard shot him an evil look "You know Iero you are a pain in the ass"
Monica looked over at Frank "But we love you anyway." She smiled as she got up off the sofa and stretched. "I am kind of tired, maybe just a short nap"
"Right this way." Gerard launched himself off the sofa and took her hand. He led her to the bottom bunk directly across from his. She crawled in and he covered her with a light blanket.
"What are you going to do?" she asked.
He shrugged, "Take a nap too, I guess. I will be right across from you." He started to stand up but she grabbed his hand.
"Way over there? That's so far away."
He smiled at her, "Oh, yea? Well where should I take my nap?' He already knew what her answer would be. She had scooted as far against the wall as she could. "Honey these are pretty small I don't want to crush you against the wall."
"Look lots of room" she patted the small space beside her. He crawled in next to her. It was a tight fit but it felt so right. He rolled on his side so she could snuggle into his chest. Soon her even breathing let him know she was asleep.
Sleep did not claim him. The woman in his arms had so totally bewitched him he still couldn't believe she was here with him. He just prayed that the whole business with Liv wouldn't drive a wedge between them. Liv could be a vindictive bitch. As soon as she realized that Monica and Gerard were in love and together, well he shuddered to think how she would react. Maybe Brian had heard something. He slowly eased his way out of the bunk and went into the practice room to make the call.
The call was answered on the fourth ring. "Hey Gerard what's up?" was his greeting.
"Just wondering if you have heard anything from Stacy. This is so fucked up I want to deal with it now."
Brian sighed, "I know this is hard for you Gee but it will take time. I just got off the phone with Stacy and the first plan of action is that she has hired a private investigator. Shit, we aren't even sure if there is a kid. The bitch could just be making up the story. The investigator will find out the truth and get back to Stacy as soon as he knows something. She will call me and I will call you. Now I know its hard but try to put this out of your mind. So how is Monica?" He hoped to distract Gerard with the question.
"She is the best thing that has ever happened to me." His answer was from his heart. "You can't begin to know how happy I am she's with me."
Chuckling Brian disagreed, "Yea, I think I can. I've never seen you so tied up in knots about anyone. Tell her I said hello."
"Later, Brian" Gerard put his sidekick down and walked over to the window. Lifting the blinds he looked out into the darkening daylight. A child, he just couldn't imagine what being a father would mean. Deep in his heart he wished he and Monica could have a child together. He would never voice this feeling and he buried it deep down inside his soul. She could never give him a child and the pain it would cause her to know it was something he wished would be too deep. He shook his head, shit he didn't really know if she would ever marry him. Her dead husband was still like a ghost between them. But she had said she would tell him. He wouldn't pressure her; he wouldn't do anything to jeopardize the happiness they had found. The bus began to slow and he realized it was time for a truck stop break. He moved down the hall to wake Monica. Parting the curtains he was surprised to see her eyes were open and that she had been crying.
Authors Note: The music they are talking about for the concert into - On YouTube look under the heading My Chemical Romance by przybyloski08 - and yes the first post is by me identifying the music!

« Variety Spices NASCAR Hall of Fame's Third Class | Main | Plenty of anticipation being generated this off season »
Fan-Tastic: NASCAR Preview Ups Anticipation for 2012 Season
By admin | January 21, 2012
 Press Release:
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Jan. 21, 2012) – For one day at least, Sam Alverson of Jacksonville, Fla., could lay claim to being NASCAR's No. 1 fan. It wasn't just because of his devotion to the sport; it's because he was first in line.
After a marathon 26-hour campout session, Alverson was the first of thousands of fans through the doors Saturday for the inaugural NASCAR Preview 2012 Presented by Sprint at the NASCAR Hall of Fame and Charlotte Convention Center. The fan-friendly event, part of NASCAR's Acceleration Weekend, followed an overflow crowd for Friday evening's NASCAR Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony of Richie Evans, Dale Inman, Darrell Waltrip, Glen Wood and Cale Yarborough.
Many fans were in line the day before the event, forming a human chain that went halfway around the convention center and weathered cool, drizzly conditions. For Alverson, the reward of a 5 1/2-hour drive and extensive wait in the elements was a chance to greet his favorite driver, four-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion Jeff Gordon.
When Gordon jokingly questioned his motives for spending more than a day in line to meet him, Alverson shot back, "It's because you are the champ!â€
"We have the most amazing fans,†Gordon said. "It blows you away any time you hear something like that. … All the fans that came out, some of them traveled long distances, get up early in the morning or stayed up late at night on the sidewalk. That's pretty amazing, and that's what makes events like this so successful.â€
Gordon also entertained fans during a question and answer session with Richard Petty, unveiling a new paint scheme commemorating 20 years in the sport with longtime sponsor DuPont. More than 60 drivers were on hand to sign autographs and greet fans, with several participating in fan Q&As. Additionally, NASCAR Hall of Fame inductees new and old led fans on personal guided tours of the Hall's exhibits.
"We're thrilled with the turnout and the passion our fans continue to express," said Steve Sweeney, NASCAR's director of consumer marketing. "The NASCAR Preview 2012 Presented By Sprint offered a perfect lead-in for the Daytona 500 on Feb. 26 [on FOX, MRN Radio], and will only grow in the upcoming years."
Winston Kelley, executive director of the NASCAR Hall of Fame, said the NASCAR Preview event was a direct result of listening to fans – including Alverson – clamoring for more of the sport during the offseason and a revival of the preview held in Winston-Salem, N.C., years ago.
"It's met or exceeded all the expectations we had, and we think this is the foundation we can just grow on,†Kelley said. "This is just the start to us, and I think we can make it even bigger and better.â€
Two pieces of news came out of today's event, as Sprint unveiled its Miss Sprint Cup lineup for 2012, and American Ethanol announced sponsorship for two highly visible race teams.
Kristen Beat, a former on-air talent for Fuel TV, joins returning Miss Sprint Cup members Kim Coon and Jaclyn Roney for the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season.
Additionally, American Ethanol announced that it will continue relationships with Richard Childress Racing and RAB racing for the 2012 season. Austin Dillon, the 2011 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series champion, will drive the No. 3 American Ethanol Chevrolet for six races in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, as well as one race in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series in 2012. Dillon's No. 3 American Ethanol Chevrolet paint scheme was unveiled at the event. American Ethanol will also partner with Kenny Wallace and RAB Racing for the Daytona 500 on FOX, as well as five races in the NASCAR Nationwide Series.
NASCAR Acceleration Weekend culminates Sunday morning with more events at the NASCAR Hall of Fame. This year's class of inductees will see their exhibits and spires in the Hall of Fame for the first time and will unveil their engraved granite markers in the Walk of Fame Garden outside the Hall's doors.

Even though I'm team Edward I don't see it that way.
I don't believe Jacob was responsible for Bella's bruises. If he had done this, then her hand should be bruised sooner than the first morning after sleeping with Edward.
I hated Edward's reaction next morning by the way!

Trachoma caused by Chlamydia trachomatis, although the infectious agent is not always eliminated, as judged by immunofluorescence. Inclusion conjunctivitis caused by Chlamydia trachomatis. Nongonococcal urethritis, endocervical, or rectal infections in adults caused by Ureaplasma urealyticum or Chlamydia trachomatis. Relapsing fever due to Borrelia recurrentis. Chancroid caused by Haemophilus ducreyi. Plague due to Yersinia pestis. Tularemia due to Francisella tularensis. Cholera caused by Vibrio cholerae. Campylobacter fetus infections caused by Campylobacter fetus. Brucellosis due to Brucella species (in conjunction with streptomycin). Bartonellosis due to Bartonella bacilliformis. Granuloma inguinale caused by Calymmatobacterium granulomatis. Minoderm is indicated for the treatment of infections caused by the following gram-negative microorganisms when bacteriologic testing indicates appropriate susceptibility to the drug: Escherichia coli. Enterobacter aerogenes. Shigella species. Acinetobacter species. Respiratory tract infections caused by Haemophilus influenzae. Respiratory tract and urinary tract infections caused by Klebsiella species. Minoderm hydrochloride capsules are indicated for the treatment of infections caused by the following gram-positive microorganisms when bacteriologic testing indicates appropriate susceptibility to the drug: Upper respiratory tract infections caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae. Skin and skin structure infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus. (Note: Minoderm is not the drug of choice in the treatment of any type of staphylococcal infection.) When penicillin is contraindicated, Minoderm is an alternative drug in the treatment of the following infections: Uncomplicated urethritis in men due to Neisseria gonorrhoeae and for the treatment of other gonococcal infections. Infections in women caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Syphilis caused by Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum. Yaws caused by Treponema pallidum subspecies pertenue. Listeriosis due to Listeria monocytogenes. Anthrax due to Bacillus anthracis. Vincent's infection caused by Fusobacterium fusiforme. Actinomycosis caused by Actinomyces israelii. Infections caused by Clostridium species. In acute intestinal amebiasis, Minoderm may be a useful adjunct to amebicides. In severe acne, Minoderm may be useful adjunctive therapy. Oral Minoderm is indicated in the treatment of asymptomatic carriers of Neisseria meningitidis to eliminate meningococci from the nasopharynx. In order to preserve the usefulness of Minoderm in the treatment of asymptomatic meningococcal carriers, diagnostic laboratory procedures, including serotyping and susceptibility testing, should be performed to establish the carrier state and the correct treatment. It is recommended that the prophylactic use of Minoderm be reserved for situations in which the risk of meningococcal meningitis is high. Oral Minoderm is not indicated for the treatment of meningococcal infection. Although no controlled clinical efficacy studies have been conducted, limited clinical data show that oral Minoderm hydrochloride has been used successfully in the treatment of infections caused by Mycobacterium marinum. To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of Minoderm hydrochloride capsules and other antibacterial drugs, Minoderm hydrochloride capsules should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy.
