These were great! Super easy to make and delicious. Took me about 30 minutes. I did not have tahini paste so just added some sesame seeds. I bet it would be even better with the paste. I only used 3 (large) garlic cloves which was plenty. Thank you cooking light for another great recipe!
Chicken Souvlaki Pitas with Tahini Sauce

Way too much garlic in sauce. It was so spicy we could barely eat it (and we love garlic). I diluted it with more garlic-less tsatziki and it was better. I don't have a grill pan so I tossed the chicken with the spices, let it sit, and then sauteed it in a skillet. It had lots of flavor. I wonder if that method made the flavors stick better (I sauteed it in Pam, not oil) than the grill pan method?

If it were up to me personally, I wouldn't make this recipe again, but the husband thought it was great and asked for it to be added to the "weekly rotation." (Poor guy, there is no "weekly rotation"--- I'm always trying new recipes!) I thought it was kind of boring and the tahini sauce was way too garlicky, but it was certainly easy enough to pull together. I've added it to the "favorites" file because he raved about it so much, but I was kind of lukewarm on it.

These were great! The sauce was a little garlicky, three cloves would have been fine. Trader Joe's was selling fresh Tahini in their refrigerator section which was perfect. Will definitely make these again. Served with home baked oven fries, with greek seasoning. Didn't skewer the chicken, just tossed the marinated pieces on the grill pan. Worked perfectly!
SeattleSheri Posted: 03/11/11
I made this for my family and we were quite disappointed with the lack of flavor of the chicken. I followed the recipe exactly, down to the tahini and skewers. Neither myself, my husband nor my two boys cared for this meal. The chicken was missing something, especially compared to other recipes I've used to make Chicken Souvlaki. Perhaps, less lemon and a smaller ratio of tahini would have improved the flavor of the sauce, I found it too bitter for my taste. I really, really wanted to like this recipe!
leslitp Posted: 03/10/11
I thought this was pretty good but a bit time-consuming for what it is. I could not find tahini but found a decent substitute (peanut butter + toasted sesame oil) though I'm going to search out tahini as my 9yo could taste the peanut butter (which he doesn't like). The sauce was yummy anyway (to me) and rather than a 1" chunk for the chix, I sliced it thin like gyro (lamb) meat.

This recipe was very tasty. I would definately make it again!
JustSomeGuy Posted: 05/20/11
This was a fun BBQ recipe. Quick Tip #1 - buy substantial pita bread: too thin and its a mess. Like others have said, there is way too much garlic in the sauce, but a simple cut in half fixed it. Try substituting Greek yogurt instead of traditional then adding a little more cucumber for a better "cooling" effect. I couldn't easily find Tahini in a small enough container that I would use any time soon, but a quick Google of how to make it meant that I could toast those sesame seeds then blend with olive oil for just the amount needed and not leave me with (yet) another bottle in the condiments section of my fridge.

Simple and tasty - great easy recipe for grilling out on a summer day. We used jarred minced garlic instead of fresh, and I think it helped cut some of what could have been overpowering garlic flavor. Also added extra shredded cucumber and salt/pepper to the tahini sauce mixture which brought out more of the flavor. This would also be great as a salad if you don't have pitas on hand. Will definitely make again!
nicolecorsi Posted: 05/26/11
These were easy to make but a little on the bland side. I think they would be great for an outdoor lunch with some snazzy appetizers, but alone they were just a bit boring.
zoogle24 Posted: 04/18/11
We thought this was pretty awful. The garlic was overpowering in the sauce and we love garlic
pajamas7 Posted: 05/27/11
way too much garlic.
AnneMarieFoley Posted: 08/04/11
Fairly easy to make, and it's light.
ajmonmurphy Posted: 09/07/11
Love these. We use spinach instead of lettuce though. Easy and delicious.
MPowell75 Posted: 09/23/11
WAY too much garlic. I think that has to be a typo in the recipe - it was very overpowering, and I only used 3 cloves (and I typically love garlic). Overall, it was ok but not amazing. Agree with other reviews that the chicken was kind of bland. I put some extra salt on it and that helped. Not sure that I'll ever use this recipe again, but I make tweak the sauce recipe a bit and use that in the future.
JKL033 Posted: 02/05/12
I'm glad I made these as they are a little different than our usual fare, although they were a bit bland for my taste. I made my own tahini for this recipe and used the extra to make hummus that we enjoyed along with this. I served with spicy roasted potatoes and together that was a pretty good combo. I will make these again but might experiment with the sauce.
Maratha Posted: 03/15/12
Never, never, never to much garlic.....
starshine93078 Posted: 06/28/13
This review is actually for everything but the tahini sauce, because I could not justify buying a whole jar of tahini when I only needed a little bit...and all the reviews about it being too garlicky did kind of scare me. That being said, however, this is a mighty tasty sandwich. As opposed to the tahini-yogurt sauce, I did make it with a homemade tzatziki with a little chopped fresh mint, which was the perfect compliment to the lemony chicken and delicious veggies. DH & I loved it, and ate leftovers for lunch for the next couple of days.

The Vigo County Sheriff's Department was called out early Saturday morning after a pick up wound up in submerged in water in southern Vigo County.
Officers say that the truck hit a tree and then plunged into Blue Hole along Robertson Road.
Tyler McGoldrick of Terre Haute told police that he was asleep in the passenger seat and managed to escape.
He said that the driver was Chadwick 'Shane' Cutter II of Terre Haute, and that he thought he was still in the truck.
No one else was in the truck and a dive team did not find anyone in the water.
Later Saturday morning Cutter was located at a relative's house in Terre Haute.
Cutter was cited for leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident and driving while suspended.
He was also arrested and taken to jail for an outstanding probation violation warrant.

Chapter Seven0 Reviews
Castiel and Dean's relationship is pushed to the limits when Dean's father catches the two together in the kitchen. How will Dean react, and how will Sam try to fix it?
Castiel woke up the next morning due to hushed voices and the mention of his name. When he opened his eyes he found Balthazar and Sam sitting over him frowning with suspicion.
"What the hell are you guys doing? Seriously…why were you watching me sleep?" Castiel yawned. He sat up slowly and found that his body ached more than it had done yesterday.
"We weren't watching you sleep." Sam said.
"We were wondering where the hell that thing came from." Balthazar sniggered.
"What 'thing'?"
"That thing on your neck." Balthazar said. He turned to Sam and the two frowned at each other. Castiel jumped from his sleeping bag and near-sprinted over to the mirror.
It took him a few seconds to work out what the guys had been talking about, but soon enough he saw the dark red mark sitting there on the side of his neck. He pulled the collar of his shirt down a little bit, and sure enough his skin was littered with smaller red marks, luckily hidden out of sight. Hickeys.
"Shit." He hissed to himself as he turned back around. Sam and Balthazar were both sitting, staring at him with raised eyebrows.
"I'm sure as hell that wasn't there yesterday." Balthazar laughed.
Castiel felt his face flush. "It was." He lied quickly. "It was just hard to see because of the jacket I was wearing."
"Thank god. I was starting to think things got a bit heated between the three of us while we slept last night." Balthazar laughed.
"Yeah, no, sorry about that." Castiel frowned as he sat back down. He glanced over at Sam who was sat pale, frowning with a look of hilarity on his face; he'd definitely guessed what had happened when Castiel went to visit his older brother in his bedroom last night.
"So, what was it like?" Balthazar asked.
Sam and Castiel both frowned.
"What?" Castiel choked.
"You know…the sex with the girl who gave you that."
Castiel frowned, "What gir-"
"Morning sunshines." A voice cut Castiel off midsentence.
The three of them turned around to see Dean standing in the doorway. He leaned against the doorframe with his arms across his chest, but didn't take his eyes off Castiel once. Castiel felt his face flush and he looked away.
"I was just wondering if you kids wanted any breakfast? Maybe Cas could help me make pancakes."
"Pancakes sound good." Sam said quickly, trying not to notice the fact his brother was continually staring his friend up and down. "Go on, Cas. Go make us some breakfast."
Castiel nodded nervously and quickly got up. As he passed Dean he felt his breath tickle his ear, and it made his cheeks redden even more. Luckily, this time, there was nobody to see it.
* * *
Castiel followed Dean downstairs into the dimly-lit kitchen, and watched as he hurried around every cupboard looking for a mixing bowl and a frying pan, as well as all of the ingredients.
"Sleep well?" Dean asked as he poured the ingredients into the bowl.
"Mm hm." Castiel mumbled shyly, not daring to look up at Dean for fear he'd blush uncontrollably.
"I dreamt about you, Cas. We were lying on a beach together somewhere along the west coast. The breeze was blowing through your hair and you looked so goddamn happy."
Castiel grinned up at Dean. "Maybe we should do that sometime. You know, lie together on a beach somewhere west."
"This summer." Is all Dean replied as he poured the mixed mixture into the pan.
Castiel stepped forward and lifted the pan onto the hob, poking the raw mixture with a spatula. Dean stepped forward and wrapped his arms around Castiel's waist from behind, resting his chin on his shoulder near enough for him to give small kisses behind his ear. Castiel felt safe like that in Dean's arms. He never wanted him to let go; not ever.
But the moment was ruined by the sound of a glass smashing on the linoleum floor.
Both boys quickly looked over to see Dean's father, John, standing in the archway, fists clenched down by his side, face burning red.
"What in god's name is going on here?" He breathed angrily. "IN MY OWN HOME?"
John's raised voice frightened Castiel, and he found himself turning away to bury his face in Dean's chest. He held onto Dean's shirt with sweaty palms and closes his eyes so tight he began to see stars.
"Dad…" was all Dean could bare to say before he was cut off by the sound of a second glass smashing – a bottle this time.
"Don't you dare say a word, boy." John hissed. "You have no right to speak in this house. You know the rules…yet you still insist on bringing your little faggot home? It's disgusting, Dean. I've warned you that I would not allow him to set foot in this house or I would punish him as I punished you."
"You won't touch him. I won't let you." Dean said, holding Castiel's head close to his chest. "I won't let you lay a goddamn finger on him."
Castiel began to cry.
"If mom was here, she'd let me love him." Dean said coldly. "She would've let me invite him home for dinner with the family…perhaps even taken us out to a restaurant someplace fancy. She wouldn't have cared if I was in love with a guy or a girl…she would've just cared that I was in love."
"Firstly, you're a seventeen year old boy, Dean - you're not in love. Secondly your mother's dead. Don't you dare bring her into this, you know she-"
"Would've supported me like any decent parent should? Yeah, I know that, Dad." Dean spat. "She'd be turning in her grave if she knew some of the things you've said to me…or the many times you've beaten me."
"I told you, boy," John growled, "don't you dare bring her into this."
"I mean, I was fine with it when you first hit me, you know? I'm the oldest, right? I'm more responsible and I should get punished when I'm wrong. But then you went and brought Sammy into it. You hit my little brother. Who knows? Maybe if mom was still here, you would've hit her too. Mom never be able to even look you in the eye if she-"
"ENOUGH!" John yelled.
He lunged forward and grabbed Castiel by the hair, but Dean reacted by grasping his father's throat in return. Dean squeezed his throat ever so slightly with one hand, as he continued to hold a somewhat distraught Castiel's waist with the other. Castiel looked up at Dean with pleading eyes as his father refused to let go of his hair.
"Let go of him, you sick bastard. He's been through enough abuse in his life…and he doesn't need it from you too." Dean said straight, looking his father dead in the eyes. "I told you to let go of him."
"You think…you're oh-so-powerful," John coughed, "but you're nothing more…than a pathetic…repulsive…sickening piece of shit. You're not my son, Dean."
Dean tried to hide his trembling lip. "Well you were never a father to me. You should be grateful Sammy doesn't see the real you. You should be grateful none of your friends know how much of a coward you really are, drinking away the pain you still feel for mom every night, because you can't bare to face the fact that she's gone, buried six feet under the ground in a wooden box, and she's never coming back. She was foolish to have ever loved a man like you. She deserved so much better."
"You've gone too far…this time, boy. I want you to leave…this house and…never…come back." He choked under Dean's grasp.
"Gladly, you self-obsessed, sick-in-the-head bastard. I'll leave, if you let go of my boyfriend's hair and I'll leave if you swear to god you'll never touch the kid ever again." Dean hissed.
John's face began to grow purple, and he let go of Cas. Dean pulled Castiel close again and slowly let go of his father's throat. Just as Dean leaned down to kiss Castiel's tear stained cheek, he received a blow across the jaw. But Dean didn't react to the punch; he just straightened his head and looked directly at John with a look of such hatred that he could barely contain it.
"Go to hell." Dean muttered as he shook his head slowly. "Go. To. Hell."
* * *
"What are you going to do, Dean? You can't just leave…you have nowhere to go! I mean, I'd offer you to come live with me but I don't think my foster family would particularly warm to that idea and there's also the fact we're dating and I-"
"It's fine." Dean said distractedly, shutting his bedroom door loudly. He dived straight for a bag hanging on the back of his door and hurriedly began to shove essentials into it; some shirts, underwear, jeans, his money…
"Just stop a second, okay?" Castiel grabbed Dean's arm but he just shook him off.
"Leave it, Cas. Just leave it, okay? I can figure this out…it will be okay."
"It's not going to be okay! You have nowhere to go! I'm not just going to let you go off on your own to god-knows-where! You'll get hurt…you'll get sick…you'll-"
"JUST SHUT UP, WILL YOU?" Dean yelled. It startled Castiel and he flinched, his eyes beginning to fill with tears.
"I'm sorry, Dean." Castiel said quietly, slightly taken aback from Dean's outburst.
"No." Dean said quickly. "Don't say sorry. I didn't mean to shout."
"It's fine."
The room was painfully silent as Dean packed his bag and Castiel just watched. He wished there was just something he could do to ease Dean of some of his stress, but there was nothing that came to mind. He knew that speaking wouldn't help anything and Dean was too angry to stand still long enough for Castiel to hug him. Besides, the last thing he probably wants around after everything that had just happened was his pathetic little boyfriend. This was all Castiel's fault. Everything was always Castiel's fault, wasn't it?
Castiel decided that the best thing to do would be to leave the room, so he headed back to Sam's room and found that Balthazar had gone home already.
"Is everything okay?" Sam asked as Castiel hid his face in his hands.
"Dean's leaving. Your father doesn't want him here anymore." Castiel said carefully. He looked up slowly and found that Sam was frowning at him.
"What do you mean he's 'leaving'?"
"What else do you want me to say, Sam? He's leaving and I have no idea what he's gonna do. He's angry. Your father's angry too."
Sam shook his head. "No…no…he can't leave. I'll talk to dad! I'll talk to both of them! I can make this better…I can make him stay!" Sam said quickly.
"There's no point, Sam. He's made up his mind."
"I can fix this." Sam muttered.
He half-sprinted into Dean's room and pushed his big brother down onto the bed.
"What the hell are you doing, Dean?" Sam yelled.
Castiel watched fearfully from the doorway, hidden out of sight.
"I'm doing what I should've done a long time ago."
"Where are you gonna go?! We have no one." Sam spat. "What would mom say if she knew you were trying to take off like this?"
"Well mom's not here."
"Just stop." Sam sighed.
"I can make my own choices, Sammy. I'm going to South Dakota to stay with Bobby." He said finally, standing up.
"Hold on a second," Sam said, raising a hand in utter disbelief, "You are not leaving Kansas."
"Well, bad news, I am."
"You're just going to leave Castiel here while you go turn into some angsty runaway?"
Castiel gripped the door frame so hard that the paint began to crumble beneath his fingertips.
"It's my only option. Like you said, we have nobody. But we have Bobby."
"I won't let you leave Cas behind."
"You have the option of staying in the goddamned state! Even better, you could stay here in Lawrence! I thought you loved him." Sam said bitterly. "It doesn't make sense…you're getting kicked out of our home for loving him, so what's the point of leaving if you're not going to be with him?"
"He can find somebody else. I got him into this shit…he didn't even like guys before I told him I loved him. I don't want him to live a shit-filled life where he's judged for who he loves, okay? If I go, he can be normal again. I've caused so much trouble for him already…it's best he just moves on."
Castiel stepped into the room. His whole body was trembling and his eyes were red-raw. No matter how much he wanted to, he couldn't bring himself to look either of them in the eye.
"I'm coming with you."
"NO." Both brothers said in unison.
Dean stepped forward. "I need to get out of this place, Cas."
"Don't leave me, Dean. Please don't leave me."
"I…I'm sorry, okay? It's for the best." Dean tried to blink the tears away, but nothing could stop him from feeling the pain in the bottom of his chest as he stood inches from the one person he's ever truly loved and told him that he was leaving him behind.
"No…no it's not for the best!" Castiel said angrily. He finally looked up at Dean with so much fury in his eyes that it nearly shocked Dean. "What part of your fucked-up plan is for the best? You always do what you want, Dean. I've given up everything for you because you wanted it." Castiel began to cry harder. "What about me?"
"Cas, I-"
"WHAT ABOUT ME?" he near-screamed. "You can lie and say you loved me all this time, Dean, but it's clear to me now that you didn't. If you loved me as much as you said you did, you would find it harder to leave. Maybe you wouldn't want to leave? You made me love you, Dean. Why did you make me do that? An ego boost? A test? Well, fuck you. You made me fall in love with you for nothing…and I hate you for that. I hate you so much."

MIAMI — No decision has been made and Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez is making sure not to assume anything until Chipper Jones agrees to it, but there's a reasonable chance the veteran third baseman could go on a minor-league rehab assignment this weekend before rejoining the Braves.
Jones is recovering from May 26 surgery to drain a hematoma on his left leg after he developed a severe bruise from being hit by a one-hop grounder. He's eligible to come off the 15-day disabled list Friday.
He had his two stitches removed Wednesday, fielded some ground balls, took batting practice with the Braves at Marlins Park, and did some running including 10 short sprints.
"It was good," Jones said, then showed his hands. "Got some blisters, got to get rid of them in the next couple of days."
He reiterated this week that he wants to skip a rehab assignment and instead rejoin the Braves and play against Toronto this weekend at Turner Field. But he also knows that Gonzalez and other team officials would prefer he play at least a couple of minor league games and regain some leg strength so that when he returns, he might be at a lesser risk of injury and be able to play more initially without needing a rest.
Triple-A Gwinnett is away this weekend at Pawtucket, R.I., which means a drive up I-75 to Class-A Rome could be in the offing for Jones. Rome has a five-game homestand Wednesday through Sunday.
"Best-case scenario is maybe get him on a rehab assignment this weekend, if everything goes well today and tomorrow," Gonzalez said. "We've just got to make sure that he's ready, that his legs are ready…. I would like to send him to [rehab at] a little higher [level], like Gwinnett, instead of facing a 20-year-old kid throwing 100 and you don't know where it's going to go."
Double-A Mississippi will also be on the road this weekend to face the Tennessee Smokies.
Uggla's homering, walking, whiffing
Dan Uggla, who drove in five runs with four hits including two homers on Tuesday, is on pace for career highs in RBIs, walks and strikeouts.
The second baseman led the Braves with 10 homers and was tied for fifth in the National League with 37 RBIs in 55 games before Wednesday, on pace for 108 (his career high is 105 in 2010, his only 100-RBI season).
He was tied for third in the league in walks with 37, and tied for fourth in strikeouts with 60. That put Uggla on pace for 105 walks and 176 strikeouts, which would top his career-highs of 92 walks and 171 strikeouts. He had a .384 on-base percentage before Wednesday, while no one else in the NL's top 10 in strikeouts had an OBP above .358.

Whats wrong with airplanes..put chipper on one to AAA or AA game. Are Braves that cheap?

Looking forward to Smoltz day at park..will Lucas Sims also be there?

Chipper could possibly do a slight rehab stint, but then again maybe not. Also Dan Uggla is on pace for career highs in SO's, RBI's, and Walks. Just keepin' everybody updated.

No need for a rehab. He is better than anything the Braves can trot out there at third.

Francoeur's stats when- he was shipped out by Wren were better than Heyward's are now. He also had two 100+ rbi years at the major league level. To cap things, he always busted it between the lines…running bases and fielding his position. No half-hearted effort. It's hard to understand!
June 7th, 2012
12:38 am
Not OBP-at least Heyward walks occasionally. The goal for a hitter is to reach base. If you hit .240 and never walk, you're not very good. Agree Frenchy is a great defensive player, while Heyward is maybe slightly above average. Jeff didn't have the best attitude either. Remember when he wondered why he was sent to the minors, while hitting maybe .220 and reaching base maybe .235. I don't recall Heyward similarly whining last year when he lost time in favor of Constanza.

Bones Jones does not need to comeback until he is healthy. I can already read into his comments that this next return will last about 48 hrs and he is hurt again. Tired of this…………..Just get well and dont come back too soon. We can win with out ya
June 7th, 2012
2:31 am
Francoeur set a record of some sort when he was with the Mets. 4 outs on 6 pitches with a strike out. I'm from Lilburn and I've followed him since high school. His strike zone has always been too big, and his attitude seems to reflect a lack of respect for walking, thus an OBP historically just above .300. 16 RBI for KC with a .274 and 5 HR with an OBP of .316. I wish him every success, but his production hasn't been all that hot. He was traded simply because he had been pressing with the Braves, and nobody wanted to watch his frustrations and big strike zone. He needed to be traded, and the Braves got nothing for him.

IMO, and I realize that everybody has one, is that at this stage in his career, Chipper knows better than anyone what his body is capable of. If he feels like he can go on the field at the major league level and produce, then let him go out there and prove it… and in my memory, he usually does just that, and more times than not in ultra dramatic style! But whether he does it on the field or not, he's earned the right to make that decision himself… and though FrediG might not like to agree with him, he's still got to admit that more times than not, Chipper's right. I'm just ready to see him on the field. His presence alone is worth more than can be measured by all of us amateur bloggers!
June 7th, 2012
4:25 am
Another thing to think about is that Chipper probably realizes that he only has a certain amount of games left in those beat up legs and knees, and does not want to waste some of those precious few in a minor-league rehab assignment. If he only truly has say 50 or 60 games left in him, why spend 5 of those in the minors????? Its June now, and he knows there's not much gas left in his tank.

Sending Chipper to Rome for 2 games is just stupid.
June 7th, 2012

In this case, management knows best. Besides, it'll be a thrill for the A guys to have him in locker room and in dugout. Go play with the A-team, Chip. But be careful!
June 7th, 2012
8:05 am
Hey guys, this is Chipper Jones we're talkin' about.
Send the entire team to Rome except for Chipper, call up everyone in Rome for a couple of days, and let Chipper play at Turners Field for Gawds sake.
June 7th, 2012
8:36 am
@ Hiway61-The problem with a plane in the minors sometimes is that not all cities have a direct flight to that city. More likely in AAA than AA but a lot of times it is a flight plus a some sort of distant drive to get you to the stadium. Rome would be the best oprion only being an hour drive away. Plus they lay out the red carpet for him there.
June 7th, 2012

Why does larry have the option of saying no if his bosses want him to send him down for a few rehab starts?…….and blisters?…….REALLY????…….just do us all a big favor and retire now!!!!!!!!!!!
June 7th, 2012
9:13 am
No need for any minor league work for Jones. You would think that the proper workout and training regime would be sufficient. Why does he need to go to the minors to "get his legs under him" or "make sure his legs are O.K." Certainly the trainers could come up with something better. If not, give me a call. He tears the cover off the ball when he comes back from injury.
June 7th, 2012
9:32 am
You folks are so funny, # 1 Chipper doesnt own the Braves, # 2 he stays hurt, let him work his way back in. Playing one game sitting two is worthless unless he is playing for his Mama. Its Major League BB by golly get ready to play it. And to all you folks " I mean, he is afterall, Chipper Jones" DId not a freaking ground ball almost break his left leg? On my Little League team he would be doing the score book. You folks are something!
June 7th, 2012
9:46 am
Easy solution, let Chipper play part of the game, get a couple of bats and then move Prado to 3rd and insert Constanza or Diaz depending on matchups, score, etc,.
June 7th, 2012
9:55 am
If he goes straight into an MLB game and finds out he wasnt quite ready or needs a few more games then either you are lighter in the roster until he can play or risk having to reset the 15 day DL when you only might have needed a week. Let the professional front office staff dictate roster moves. Rome is the smart play, make sure it responds in game conditions and head on up.

bring chipper to rome on fri night…i will be there

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do". "Fredi fiddled while Chipper burned Rome down"
Seriously, I heard CJ was being demoted to Rome due to his attitude! Could that be true?
June 7th, 2012
1:10 pm
If the inmates are running the asylum, the manager might not want to publicly acknowledge it….
If Chipper agrees to it….
Just put him at third and let's get on with it.
June 7th, 2012
1:29 pm
I'm probably the one person who thought this but when I first saw the headline about Chipper going to Rome, I thought "he can take the time for a trip to Italy now? Are you kidding me."
June 7th, 2012
1:37 pm
When are the x-ray results to be announced?
June 7th, 2012
1:48 pm
Not a good solution Chompers. It thins the bench by 1 player. Having Chipper active but unable to play, Freeman active but unable to see, & McCann active but sick was a major factor in an 8 game loosing streak. You need a full bench.
June 7th, 2012
1:49 pm
Weel that and the pitching sucked.
June 7th, 2012
2:00 pm
You guys chiming in that Chipper is better than anybody who the Braves can trot out there and Chipper might only have so many games left in those legs…… Can you guys read or understand common sense/logic?
This is from the above blog, which you guys either didn't read, or can't comprehend:
"But he also knows that Gonzalez and other team officials would prefer he play at least a couple of minor league games and regain some leg strength so that when he returns, he might be at a lesser risk of injury and be able to play more initially without needing a rest."
On a rehab assignment, Chipper is NOT activated from the DL. Thus if he's not ready or has a setback, no big deal. Let him rest and maybe come back a few days later than planned.
If they activate him and then in the 4th inning of his first game back he has the same setback? Guess what…. back on the DL he goes for another 15 days.
I agree with both of you actually. He likely is still the best hitter on the team. And he probably doesn't have many games left in those legs.
But common sense says go play at least one rehab game to MAKE SURE he's game speed ready to contribute without re-injuring himself.
Really not that difficult of a decision for Wren and management….. no matter what Chipper says.
I also agree, that he shouldn't have to ride or drive to the minor league game. Somebody somewhere in Braves management has to have a private jet/plane that can fly him there. No sense in making him getting all stiff on a long roadtrip in a vehicle or bus.
June 7th, 2012
2:31 pm
But if he flies, his knee will get all puffy and swollen…..just like his ego.
June 7th, 2012
2:36 pm
Maybe a local beer league softball team a short drive away instead?
June 7th, 2012
2:46 pm
All I'll say now..We need Chipper! The best thing is to get him ready to play. N8 is right on the ride..get it done and stop the BS.
June 7th, 2012
2:47 pm
Well said N8.
June 7th, 2012
3:07 pm
Chipper says tell all youse guys "Howdy". I have a direct connection. He's my huntin' buddy. He won't let me carry a gun. He's afraid I will shoot him, since he makes me walk behind him. I said, "BANG" one day and he bout jumped outa his skin! Then one day I started whistlin' "NEW YORK, NEW YORK" and he turned around and pointed his gun at me. Told me to "shut up"! I thought he would like it since his daughter's named "Shea"!

Stupid Stupid Stupid He goes to Rome. Gets hurt and gone rfor good. Not smart.

I guess I scared everyone off. Do not let name bother you.
June 7th, 2012
3:47 pm
"He likely is still the best hitter on the team"
As far as a pure hitter, Chipper will likely still be the best hitter on the team three years after he finally retires.
But it does a team little good to have a great hitter who cant play
About the only thing worse is it being continually uncertain whether and how much he can play
The right thing to do is to get him some at-bats in an environment where he can do his work and get his reps while not being an uncertain element or a distraction to the major league team.
Once he come back, he can hopefully contribute in some kind of consistant manner, ahgain, without being a distraction
June 7th, 2012
3:52 pm
@Robert I agree,but what if he gets hurt down there . Then what.
June 7th, 2012
4:18 pm
How can 37 RBIs put him on pace for 108, but 37 walks only gets him 105. Something doesn't quite add up…
June 7th, 2012
4:22 pm
@P-Man 1/3rd of the season is over. Do the math. It fits.
June 7th, 2012
4:59 pm
It really makes no sense to send him to Rome for a game or two, except I believe he would get additional in-game at bats since he's rehabbing.
Bottom line is that if he's gonna get hurt playing baseball, then it's a waste doing it somewhere else. They can start him, and if can't go the whole game, FG simply pulls him and tells the press afterwards that that was his plan all along – but he wanted his bat in the game as many times as possible while he built up his legs.
Rehab or not, we all know for certain that Chipper likely only has about 60 games left in him – let's hope some of them are during a pennant/playoff run.
June 7th, 2012
7:43 pm
Chipper usually is a speaker at some of these retirement ceremonies. I hope he will be speaking for Smoltz tomorrow night and then go to rehab starting Saturday. Any word on him speaking at the ceremony?

Throwback Thursday: Be Jeweled
Throwback Thursday is a column on Beauty Counter in which we pore over the pages of our favorite glossies from decades past in search of a little modern-day makeup and hair inspiration.
The Model: Tyra Banks
The Moment: Seriously Sparkly Eyes
The Motivation: When I came across this shot of Tyra Banks sporting gem-encrusted lids from the nineties, I was intrigued by the similarity it posed to the recent Givenchy show—which saw select models appear on the runway with masks that required more than 2,000 sequins and 1,500 crystals to complete. Admittedly, Pat McGrath's version for Riccardo Tisci took the concept to glittery new levels, but I'll be looking to Banks' slightly more pared-down version for inspiration this Halloween.

Genetic risk: Apo E gene
ApoE Testing in Research or Diagnosis continued...
In a research setting, APOE testing may be used to identify study volunteers who may be at a higher risk of getting AD. In this way, researchers can look for early brain changes in some patients. This test also helps researchers compare the effectiveness of treatments for patients with different APOE profiles. Most researchers believe that the APOE test is useful for studying AD risk in large groups of people but not for determining one person's individual risk. Predictive screening in otherwise healthy people will be useful if an accurate/reliable test is developed and effective ways to treat or prevent AD are available.
In diagnosing AD, APOE testing is not a common practice. The only definite way to diagnose AD is by viewing a sample of a person's brain tissue under a microscope to determine if there are plaques and tangles present. This is usually done after the person dies. However, through a complete medical evaluation (including a medical history, laboratory tests, neuropsychological tests, and brain scans), well-trained doctors can diagnose AD correctly up to 90 percent of the time. Doctors look to rule out other diseases and disorders that can cause the same symptoms of AD. If no other cause is identified, a person is said to have "probable" or "possible" AD. In some cases, APOE testing may be used in combination with these other medical tests to strengthen the diagnosis of a suspected case of AD. Currently, there is no medical test to establish if a person without the symptoms of AD is going to develop the disease. APOE testing as a patient screening (predictive) method is not recommended.

Heavy D, the former leader of the hip-hop group Heavy D & the Boyz, has died at the age of 44.
Search: More on Heavy D
According to TMZ, a 911 call was placed from Heavy's Beverly Hills home around 11:25 a.m. Tuesday to report an unconscious male on the walkway. The rapper was rushed to a hospital and was pronounced dead at 1 p.m. PT.
Police detectives found no signs of foul play and believe his death was medically related, police Lt. Mark Rosen told the Associated Press.
Heavy D was born Dwight Errington Myers in Jamaica in 1967. He later moved to the Bronx and became friends with Glen Parrish (G-Wiz), Eddie F (Eddie Ferrell) and Troy Dixon (Trouble T-Roy), and they formed the rap group Heavy D & the Boyz.
Tell us on Facebook: How will you remember Heavy D?
In 1986, the group became the first artists signed to the Uptown Records, which went on to become one of the most influential hip-hop and R&B labels of the late 1980s and early 1990s.
"Living Large," Heavy D & the Boyz's debut album, was released in 1987. The group's 1989 release "Big Tyme" served as their commercial breakthrough with tracks like "We Got Our Own Thang" and "Somebody For Me."
Heavy D is known for hit songs like "Nuttin But Love" and "Now That We Found Love." He also recorded theme songs for the television series "In Living Color" and "MADtv." In recent years, Heavy D recorded a series of reggae fusion albums.
On Oct. 1, Heavy D performed his classics -- "Nuttin' But Love," "Is It Good to You," and "I Want Somebody" -- at the 2011 BET's Hip-Hop Awards. And he performed at the Michael Jackson Tribute Concert in Wales on Oct. 8. And he also had a cameo in Eddie Murphy and Ben Stiller 's new film, "Tower Heist."
To Lynn, I am most certain you are not a real teacher. you sound more like an angry old man who sits around collecting his shitty SSI & soaking up free WiFi at the local Dunkin Donuts!! but if I am wrong, and you do happen to be a teacher as you claim, then I feel horrible for the poor children who come into contact with you on a daily basis! based on the way you talk about youth in general, you obviously don't have children of your own (at least I hope not) To refer to "your kids" as little black boys is disturbing...and the rest of the comments you've posted on this forum are disgusting! I can only hope that our school systems would/could weed out twisted psychos like you by some type of mental health screening before you ever had the chance to negatively influence any young person's mind!!!!!! If in fact you are a teacher,, then you are totally right in your comment earlier..
If there are more teachers like you, our kids supposed role models and mentors, then they are headed for trouble and we are all screwed!

And as for blood pressure, for every serving (355-milliliters) of sugar-sweetened beverage consumed per day, there was a significant bump in both systolic and diastolic readings (+1.6 and +0.8, respectively), even after adjusting for BMI.
What's more, the association between drinking a sugar-sweetened drink and having higher blood pressure appeared to be even stronger among those who also had higher dietary sodium intake.
Drinking a diet beverage, however, was actually linked to a slight drop in blood pressure (although this finding did not meet "statistical significance"), while caffeine consumption appeared to have no impact on blood pressure.
"Sugar-sweetened beverage consumption has been linked to high blood pressure, obesity, type 2 diabetes and heart disease risk," said Brown. "So we suggest that if individuals want to drink these beverages, they do so only in moderation."
For those who wish to follow American Heart Association guidelines, Brown noted that a moderate amount would translate to roughly three 12-ounce cans per week for individuals who routinely consume about 2,000 calories a day.
"Better still," he advised, "choose heart-healthy alternatives such as water or unsweetened teas."
Dr. Sahil Parikh, a cardiologist at the Harrington-McLaughlin Heart and Vascular Institute at University Hospitals Case Medical Center in Cleveland, said the findings "fall along the lines of the kind of common sense your mother would offer."
"We have long known that sugary drinks are bad for you, because they are a lot of empty calories," he said. "But what makes this study important is that it suggests that beyond just making you fatter these drinks also prompt hypertension, which can increase the incidence of heart attack and strok

The story of Callie Johnson is just more proof that being a mom doesn't necessarily mean you had to have given birth. While Callie was tragically denied the chance to grow up with her own parents due to a horrible hospital mix-up of babies, she calls the mom who raised her her mother and her "best friend."
It all started in 1995 when two newborn girls were accidentally switched at birth. Callie Johnson and Rebecca Chittum were given to the wrong parents. This is just one of those nightmare scenarios that makes you want to give birth to your kid in a locked bedroom at home.
Tragically, Kevin and Whitney Chittum were killed on the same day the hospital discovered the mix-up in a car accident. Kevin and Whitney died without ever knowing the truth. Which is maybe for the best.
Paula Johnson, who was raising Callie on her own, now fought to keep Callie and also raise Rebecca. But a judge, on the advice of a child psychologist, eventually ruled that Rebecca should stay with the Chittum family and be raised by Kevin and Whitney's parents.
Visits between both families were arranged, but the girls soon tired of traveling long distances to visit families that each didn't really know.
The case became famous and it led to an overview of maternity ward safety procedures across the nation.
But what of Callie? How does she feel having been raised by a woman whom she was mistakenly given to? Speaking for the first time about the mix-up, Callie, now 18, says about Paula:
She's my best friend. She always has been. And I can honestly say that ... I don't know what I'm missing so in a sense, I do feel more sorry for Rebecca, because she doesn't know her biological mom.
Paula says that she always told Callie what had happened, and that her real parents were dead. She told WTRV:
I've always taught her from day one they are her parents, you know. She was born in Whitney's belly and she was born in my heart.
I think this speaks not only to the power of love, but of truth. The truth will set you free. Paula did not try to hide anything from her daughter, and for that she was rewarded with love and respect.
As for baby switching, it is so rare that only a handful of cases have been reported worldwide in 85 years.
Do you ever worry about something like this happening in your hospital?
Image via WTRV
Interesting story Callie seems like a great girl. Read more about these girls here: http://dailyentertainmentnews.com/breaking-news/paula-johnson-virginia-woman-who-learned-her-three-year-old-daughter-had-been-switched-at-birth/
Ok I want to know the judges reasoning for denying custody of a child to her biological mother on the basis of psycological damage. They were barely 3yrs old when this was discovered. Yes there would have been stress and confusion but you're taking away a child from her biological mother and basically punishing them both because of a mix up from the hospital. The girls were still plenty young enough to be able to adjust well to the switch. Plenty of children are adopted or taken by CPS at all ages, even 3 and many go on to be perfectly healthy and loving people. How is it different to return a child to their biological family?
I'm also curious as to why Callie's biological grandparents didn't fight for her and instead fought to keep a child they knew wasn't their granddaughter. I understand loving a child and being attached but when you damned well that little girl isn't not yours and was given to your family by mistake then you do what's right and give her back to her rightful family. Its not like they discovered the girl's biological mom was a druggie and wanted to protect her. It's obvious this woman was a great mom so why wouldn't you give her daughter back and take your granddaughter home. If you're amicable about it then you can keep contact and almost became an extended family.
I saw this on television years ago. The mother and the grandparents were both on the show and at that time they said they had decided to leave the children in the familys that had been raising them. She said she would have fought for her biological daughter if she had felt they weren't doing a good job raising her,but since they were she felt it was best to leave her with the grand parents she knew and to keep the child she raised.
I'm thinking this happens more than people think . I had my son in 08 and after i was moved from the delivery room into my regular room they brought me my baby boy, so I thought anyways. I leaned up to see my lil baby and my smile quickly vanished as I saw a fuzzy blonde headed baby and not my dark haired boy, I'm just glad my epidural wore off and was well aware of all my babies characteristics

I am writing an OS for my future robots. So far the system is more or less a simple CAS (Computer Algebra System). The idea is that not only the user can use the CAS, but also the robot itself. It can solve linear and quadratic equations, includes linear regressions and a simple scientific calculator. The standard order of operations (1. exponents and roots, 2. multiplication and division, 3. addition and subtraction) is used. For the equation string parser I conceived a simple algorithm.The string will be simplified till only addition is left. Example:
I just started to build a second version of a pulse oximeter. If you don't know what a pulse oximeter is, here is a simple but detailed description what a pulse oximeter is and how it works.
Today I found this in a local Carrefour store in Qingdao for 70 RMB. It has two RGB LED's which illuminate the ears and a couple of buttons. When certain buttons are pressed, it plays some songs or speaks some text (in Chinese).
I will probably hack it and build an emotional/chat robot out of it. In a first step I will take it apart and see what's inside (if my daughter let me...)
I have cleaned up the interactive Stochastic Learning Automaton code I once wrote and attached it in this short blog. Just send '0' or '1' via serial monitor, if a chosen action was favorable or unfavorable and see how the automaton learns to chose the right action over time.
A funny afternoon in the office, some robot talk, and one of my Chinese artwork girls with some photoshop fu came up with this (it's me!)
That said, I really want to build a life-sized humanoid robot...And it will kill us all!
In the following I describe a simple 4 pixel camera sensor, which can be versatilely used in robotics.
The sensor consists in general of four pin photo diodes with a relatively large photo sensitive area, arranged in a square, and an according collimator lens. Every photo diode can be thought of a quadrant of a two dimensional graph. We can use the sensor to measure the intensity of light, detect motions, track a light source in two dimensions or do basic 2-D optical flow calculations.
Attached you find the Rev. 0 schematic of COSMA's brain (Eagle). This board connects directly to a FTDI board. As I need MOSI, MISO and SCK also for the micro SD card, I added solder jumpers, so those pins are not connected to the SD card/voltage level shifter while burning the bootloader on the chip.
The board mainly contains:
For the first protoype of COSMA I decided to build stackable proto shields for the Arduino Mega. Later I will layout a single PCB, including all.
Proto shield one
Proto shield two
My daughter Mia is 2 years old. Every evening she is sitting next to me and helping me building a robot.
In the meantime I named the robot astronaut Cosma, a maiden name, ancient Greek for Cosmos. Below you'll find a more specific design study. I think I will 3-D print the main body and the head. I've furthermore tested a FSR (force sensing resistor) as a kind of pain receptor and the ArduEye.
After Robonaut 2 and the ongoing KIBO project, we could be the third to send a humanoid robot to Space. See my attached AT-A-GLANCE project description.

I am working since a while on a new humanoid to continue my AI experiments. So far I have finished a conceptual 3-D-drawing, based on the parts I want to use. The 2WD base is from Makeblock, the upper body the Johnny 5 torso from Lynxmotion. I have cancled the base rotate turntable and changed the original 1 DOF head with ultrasonic sensor to a 2 DOF head with compound eye.
Whenever I observe my daughter, I find that she likes to collect things. The more, the better. Usually as much as she can carry. As she can not count, how can she distinguish, what are more things and what are less things?
My daughter with objects in both hands
I am experimenting these days with trial-and-error algorithms.
In the last two days I have reworked the algorithm of choice completely. The code is now much shorter and a great number of actions can be easily added. I have listed the code sketch below.
My next robot will be based on a variable structure stochastic learning automaton (VSLA) , which is similar to the approach David L. Heiserman describes in his book How to Build Your Own Self-Programming Robot. As I am using quite a lot of mathematical notations and equations I have attached the first chapter as a pdf for better readability. I'll add more chapters later.
Update 22/09/2012: Chapter 2 attached
I am currently in the engineering phase to build a pulse oximeter. I mainly make use of the following references:
The compound eye from DAGU, designed by Oddbot, is cool and cheap. But I needed a round board to imitate the human eye, so I made one by myself. The IR LED's and photo transistors are the same as in the original design. As I had no PN 100 transistor, I used a BD 139 (the 4 IR LED's draw approx. 100 mA @ 5 V).

I finished the 6 DOF robot hand for my project Te no atama today. Here are some pictures. The thumb has two degrees of freedom. The primarily function of the hand is to display hand gestures. A 2 DOF wrist will be added. All servos have a metal gear and are digital.
Sneak preview of my new project. Just some pics...

This blog is dedicated to build a Rubik's cube solving robot. I'll not give you any guarantee to even update this blog or finish it. I just want to share and discuss some ideas.
The first thing I did was to buy 3 Rubik's cubes at taobao.com (a kind of Chinese Ebay), each around 10 RMB. I bought 3 pieces, because I wanted to avoid one or two samples are getting damaged during my experiments and evaluations and I needed then to find exactly the same kind of probes for my experiments again, which can be quite annoying.
A very easy rule: For every 10000 likes our partner Sugar Shot to Space receives on facebook, I will donate 1000USD for the eXSShot mission to space:http://www.googlelunarxprize.org/lunar/teams/selene/blog/1000usd-for-10000-likes
First static test firing with hexaphenox propellant, using an empty C6 motor casing. Combustion chamber pressure was way too high which led to the explosion of the motor. Hexaphenox is a rocket fuel I have developed:)

Kill axe chumps and fish blobs to reclaim your land in Tower Dwellers for iOS
Chris Priestman
Tower Dwellers
Eccentricity Games
iPhone, iPad
Tower defence
To paraphrase one-hit wonder Chumbawamba: if you get knocked down, then you must get back up again.
And that 'Tubthumping' mantra is precisely the kind of philosophy Eccentricity is actively encouraging in its new tower defence iOS game
Tower Dwellers
You take command of a small batch of heroic survivors that have seen the rest of their population wiped out and their land taken over.
Who are to blame for this? Well, just the usual band of baddies and no-gooders. Axe chumps, man-bears, vultures, and fish blobs, to name but a few of the quirky cast.
Despite those silly names,
Tower Dwellers
is, alas, a pretty typical tower defence game.
You create a tower to house soldiers, whom you can then order to stand along the road running through the centre of the map.
By constructing a blacksmith's workshop, you can improve your soldiers' armour and weapons. You can build other towers in later levels to add mages and archers to your growing army.
When ready, you set off the trigger for enemies to walk along the road so that your army may kill them all. You trade kills for money so you can create more buildings. By winning a battle, you reclaim a part of the land.
You can help out your army by raining chicken bombs on the enemy, healing your soldiers with a potion, or freezing the enemies so they move slower.
If all of that takes your fancy,
Tower Dwellers
is available on the App Store right now for £2.49 / $3.99. It will be available on Android and Windows Phone in the near future.

Six Southeast Championship banners hang in the rafters at the Verizon Center. After a 1-5-1 start to the lockout-shortened season, focusing on adding a seventh divisional banner in the Phone Booth should be the Caps' goal. Tuesday night's win over the Hurricanes was a good start.
"It's huge," John Erskine said of the win. "Against any divisional opponent a win is big. We want to win that division, and this was a big step."
Four points separate what is now the worst quintet of teams in the league, and after a dreadful start to the year, being the best of the worst could be the Caps best chance for a playoff bid.
While the locker room buzzed about how the team has finally found its stride, head coach Adam Oates put the win in perspective.
"It's getting there," Oates said of his team's play, adding that they are "60, 70 percent" to where they should be. That's true of basically every team before the mid-point of the season, however.
"I think the guys are realizing that the more they play as a unit and do the right things, the little things, there's always going to be support for each other," he said. "And you're going to be in a way better position to make the next play."
On a night when every team in the Southeast played, the Capitals fought for four points, playing with a sense of urgency Carolina couldn't match from the opening draw.
It was a great night for the guys who just inked new contracts. Braden Holtby, starting his seventh straight game, made 33 saves to post his second shutout of the year, and Erskine's goal 31 seconds into the second period completely sapped the life out of the Canes. Carolina was epically sloppy from that point on in the second period with only Cam Ward to thank for preventing a Washington blowout.
"In the second period, we had a little 10-minute wave there," Oates said.
Holtby spoiled Alex Semin's homecoming early in the game, robbing the former Caps' forward on a shorthanded attempt. The Washington netminder also took a post-game jab at his former teammate, though it was much more subtle than Troy Brouwer's assessment.
"A guy like that is never easy to play against, if he's on his game," Holtby said. "If he decides he wants to play, he could be the best player in the world."
The Caps opened the scoring when Mike Ribeiro needled a shot through traffic from the right circle. The puck deflected off of Nicklas Backstrom and past Ward 7:21 into the first period. Erskine's bullet from the high slot that beat Ward early in the second period completed deflated the Canes. The Caps proceeded to pepper Ward, who had a highlight reel glove save on Joel Ward.
John Carlson capped off the scoring with a rocket from the right circle that eluded Ward at 11:28 of the third period.
Tuesday night the Caps got great goaltending, production on the power play and balanced scoring. Though they still sit near the bottom of the Eastern Conference, Tuesday the Caps looked like a team that, if they can continue playing as they have while winning five out of their last seven games, could make the playoffs.
"Clearly it took a bit longer than any of us would like," Carlson said of his team's slow start. "But in the end, hopefully it works out for the better."

text: Discothéque Meister Thanks to the vision of the British Mountaineering Council (BMC) directed by the esteemed David Turnbull we are lucky to have veteran music selectors Craig Smith and Gavin Ellis entertaining us at the Saturday night discothéque at the Kendal Mountain Festivals to be held at Brewey Arts Center at 9pm on Saturday, the 18th of November. Smith and Ellis are the Disc Jockeys to the stars, the folk that Ben (Moffat), Jerry (Moon) and Leo (Dicaprio née Houlding) call when they want the party rocked. Having recently taken the roof off at Ben Moon's and Andy Cave's 40th birthday, these two will be wrestling the wheels of steel for you pleasure at the BMC sponsored Kendal disco. I recommend getting tickets in advance because it's bound to sell out. It's hard to categorize what sort of music these guys play, but having said that it's not some new genre boom boom music that about 3 people in the room get. It covers all bases and anything goes as long as it's got a groove and even verges at times on Guilty Pleasures...who said the Osmonds never made a good record? Speaking to Craig earlier today he mentioned that "programming the music for Kendal is a big challenge. Just think about the audience that will be there. It will range no doubt from young bloods fed on a diet of grime and dub step, through aging 80's lycra boys and girls to withered mountaineers more at home with gypsy fiddle music" When choosing the records Craig mentioned that the flow of music is very important. Each record should fit with what has gone before it and what is to follow, not necessarily in tempo but in feel. "It's going to be fun and to cap it all the Brewery Arts Centre have kindly agreed, thanks to the hard work of Abi Willis the organizer of the Film Festival, to let us play through their amazing sound system"

A secret wine tasting and some fab new wine discoveries
My brother is really into his wine. He's a serious collector and really knows his stuff. He's introduced me to some amazing wines and we're always telling each other about our new wine discoveries.
We decided to get together for a bit of a 'wine-off' with Big Bro and his wife picking some wines, then me and Mr English picking some wines, and decided to make it a bit more tricky by agreeing to cover the labels.

Mental illness is a horrible thing to live with, yet it can be a blessing.
I get sometimes get angry that I have to live with bipolar disorder, but am blessed that I have the opportunity to work with a wonderful psychologist every week and an amazing and understanding psychiatrist every month to cope and deal with it and be stable and productive. I still have bouts of depression and mania, but we keep them controlled. Also, I have the most phenomenal partner that keeps things in check and is not afraid to confront me and/or contact my care providers to help me get stable again. i am in the middle of a bitter divorce and custody battle, which doesn't help my situation....but it will all be okay in the end.....i know it will. Compassion is what the mentally ill need, and a great support system. I would not have made it this far without my great friends and doctors. Being mentally ill is, overall, a blessing, but it can be a nightmare, too.

Aug 28 2012: Hi Tracy
When I was 19 I was a carer for a partner with mental illness, I was too young for this and it was draining and detrimental to my own mental health and life goals. University was put on hold, friendships were sacrificed and I ended up resenting my partner for not bringing to the table what a life partner should.
I now have a policy of surrounding myself with people that only contribute to my life, as I do for them in return.
You are very lucky to have a partner who is understanding, however I do not believe that adult relationships can be based on such asymmetrical needs.

Menopause Health Center
Estrogen Alone Has Little Benefit, Some Harm
No Change in Treatment Needed for Women on HT continued...
"One of the messages that needs to be understood is this is one form of estrogen and one group of women. It may or may not apply to all estrogens and all women," Phillips says. "These women had an average age of 63 when they started the study. That is somewhat older than the age at which estrogens usually are started. When the data becomes available, we will have to look closely to see how to get the best translation for an individual patient."
Indeed, the women enrolled in the WHI trial are not like most women who begin menopausal hormone therapy these days. Study participants were not taking HT to fight serious symptoms of menopause, but to try to improve their long-term health. That didn't work, but there's still broad agreement that hormone therapy is the most effective treatment for women with severe menopausal symptoms.
"The lesson of WHI is that HT should not be given for quantity of life. It has always been intended for those who need help with the quality of their lives," Robert Rebar, MD, executive director of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, tells WebMD.
The NIH advises women to follow FDA recommendations on hormone therapy. That advice: To discuss the risks and benefits of menopausal hormone therapy with their doctors. Hormone therapy is the only truly effective treatment for severe menopausal symptoms. But because of the risks, the FDA and drugmakers recommend using it at the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time.
Indeed, Wyeth's Premarin and Prempro -- the estrogen and estrogen plus progestin drugs used in the WHI study -- are now sold at doses half as strong as those used in the trial. Victoria Kusiak, MD, Wyeth's North American medical director, says patients should try the lowest dose first. While these lower doses do help relieve hot flashes, the risks are largely unknown. Wyeth is a WebMD sponsor.
WHI Results Reassuring
It's no big surprise that estrogen-only treatment slightly increases a woman's risk of stroke. The same risk was seen in the estrogen plus progestin arm of the study. What's reassuring is that estrogen-only treatment does not increase a woman's breast cancer or heart risk.
"It is good news that estrogen didn't increase women's risks of heart disease and breast cancer," Rebar says. "The risk of stroke is known, and modest. As with any medicine, a patient must weigh the risks. For symptomatic women, estrogen remains a viable choice."

Since he got the names off of Alla-, could the data be skewed? I'm not sure how Alla- works, but don't you have to put your character in there?
So the subset of people who list there characters on Alla-, this is their preferred builds. The people who list their toon on Alla- could be a different kind of player, players that are deeper into the "reading about what specs work" (since they are utilizing a website to list their characters/get tips).
This is just a question about the data, which could vary the data a bit, but probably not enough to be significant.
It would be better to get a random word generator to generate a word, put that word into the Armory, have a random number generator pick a number between the number of results you get, and use that persons data.
Ahhh, statistics.

Warren County: Two former deputies charged
Pair accused of unlawful hunting among three who resigned last week
By Joe Beck
Two of the three Warren County deputies who resigned last week while under investigation for alleged hunting violations have been charged in Warren County General District Court.
Former deputies Bradley Pugh and Michael A. Robinson were charged Tuesday with unlawful hunting. Pugh was also charged with hunting, trapping or fishing without a license and leaving wanton waste.
The charges, all misdemeanors that carry fines but no jail time, were filed by the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries as a result of an investigation conducted last week.
Capt. K.C. Clarke said Tuesday his agency filed no charges against a third former deputy, Eric Ramey.
"Our investigation showed there was no involvement on his part that would warrant a charge being placed against him," Clarke said.
Clarke said leaving wanton waste usually involves someone killing a deer and then failing to dispose of the carcass properly "so far as not making use of the meat."
Pugh and Robison are scheduled to appear in general district court at 10 a.m. Dec. 4. Both were released upon receiving their court summons, according to online state court records.
Clarke confirmed earlier statements from Front Royal Police Chief Norman Shiflett and Warren County Sheriff Daniel T. McEathron that his agency was called in to investigate on Nov. 3, the same date of the alleged offenses.
"We were notified by an officer with the Front Royal Police Department," Clarke said.
McEathron said earlier that the three voluntarily resigned from the Sheriff's Office on Nov. 5, two days after the alleged violations were reported.
Shiflett said Front Royal Police Capt. R. Clint Keller called investigators after discovering the three may have been hunting illegally near his home within the town limits.
Sportsmen need to obtain permission from the state to hunt within the town limits under a deer management plan adopted by the town and the department of game and inland fisheries.
Shiflett said his agency turned the investigation over to state game officials to avoid the appearance of any favoritism or conflict of interest.
Clarke called the case "an unfortunate incident that we had to handle in a professional manner, and that's what we did."
