In law enforcement there's no room for second guessing. you've got to have that same confidence in your equipment. That's why more agencies choose PR-24 Control batons, the most field-tested batons ever made. A Monadnock Baton is engineered to last a lifetime. This police baton was designed with a shock washer and O-rings to absorb the impact every time the baton is opened. When the PR-24 tactical baton is extended, it locks in place. And it won't collapse until you want it to. Simply push the button and it closes with the greatest of ease. A spring pushes up against a steel pin to lock the PR-24 Side-Handle Baton in the expanded position.

How do you sell even more smartphones than the next guy? Simple, you partner with a lifestyle brand, such as Beats by Dr. Dre. That's what HTC did earlier this year. It's a logical move since the smartphone has become today's must have device amongst those young and old, so it will surely end up being a cynergistic relationship that will pay dividends to both companies.
And to kick off that partnerhip, HTC yesterday announced the Rezound. It packs in Beats audio tuning, a 4.3-inch screen, Android OS and 4G LTE connectivity.
According to HTC, the Rezound will let customers "hear music the way the artist intended" by delivering unprecedented audio playback. They've also tossed in a pair of light weight earbuds that are exclusive to the Rezound and are designed to complement the audio tuning they've worked so hard to achieve. Integrated directly into the cord is a mic for hands free calls and a remote for pausing, playing, skipping tracks and changing the phone's volume.
The screen on the Rezound is from ordinary, as it can achieve true 720p HD playback. HTC is hoping this will prime their movie download service, which boasts a progressive download feature allowing Rezound owners to watch HD movies without completing the download first. Arrive home and you can connect the Rezound to an HDTV using the device's Mobile High Definition Link (MHL) connectivity, which has to be a proprietary HDMI port, which mind you can pass 5.1-channel surround sound along with SRS WOW HD surround.
In the speed department the Rezound is no slouch. Under the hood is a 1.5Ghz dual-core processor, which should be put to work with not only HD movies and games, but Verizon's 4G LTE network.
And no smartphone of this caliber would be complete without a high end camera. HTC has stuffed in an 8 megapixel camera with autofocus, an f/2.2 and 28mm lens and a dual LED flash. It can capture full HD video and stereo sound.
Other features include HTC's Sense skin, which sits on top of the Android OS. And speaking of Android it will ship with Android 2.3, though it is upgradeable to 4.0 when it launches sometime next year. In the memory department the phone comes standard with 16GB of on board storage and 1GB of RAM. The former can of course be upgraded using a microSD card, though it does ship with a 16GB one. There is also Bluetooth 3.0, WiFi b/g/n, GPS, a 1620mAh battery and Mobile Hotspot functionality.
The HTC Rezound will be available November 14th at Verizon stores and online for $299.99 with a 2-year contract.

(not sure of cost ... had neck lift & upper eye lift at same time for $9500)
Great Doc. Great job on my eyes. No problem with the surgery, care or healing of necklift.
Am now 7 wks post-op on neck lift, and (particularly) my right salivary gland is ENORMOUS. It looks like I have a quail egg stuck in the side of my throat.
Doc says no way around it -- it is what it is. (My words -- his were far more gentle. :) Said it's just the way I'm built. Says my swelling is gone, too. (I'm still a bit tender and numb ... no big ... just hoping that means it'll still improve.)
Has anyone had a salivary gland appear *less noticable* after week 8? Though my chin is definitely more chiseled on my left side, I think my neck looks worse overall.
Looking for hope ... but thinking I made a poor choice.

Salivary stones are similar to kidney stones -- small, calcified little stones build up in your gland and eventually can move in and block the salivary duct, requiring a bit of surgery to remove if they don't work themselves out naturally. It might be worth a check with an Otolaryngologist to see if this could be an issue for you? : )
Best of luck, and I hope you are happy with your neck lift results.

I have an ENT appt set for next Mon, but frankly, post- whatever testing she may/may not suggest, I'm expecting similar news. And tomorrow, Feb. 1, is the line I've drawn in the sand (barring no changes -- none positive of which have occurred to date*) ... that I'll ask my PS if he'd be willing to suture at least my right gland upwards as was done for the goddess who dropped me a private message. I'm at almost exactly where you are post-op -- mine turns 12 wks on Feb. 10.
I REALLY like my PS and would love for him to do my tummy tuck next Nov., but if he can't help with the salivary gland, I'm inclined to select a PS closer to my home. He & his staff have been professional and truly terrific, but at all not geographically-desirable for my current sitch. If suppose if I've found one doc I trust, I can find another.
Hugs, amiga! I'm thinking of you!!!!
*I'm nearly back at my surg day weight -- what can I say, I ate my way through the holidays ... and I think it's actually MORE noticable. I think Earth is really on to something when she mentioned that Available Real Estate may come into play. *sigh*

Thanks for writing....it is interesting that we are experiencing the same thing...even my PS is too far away....arrrgh.
Would you mind sharing what the goddess told you about suturing the gland? That means re-opening us up, correct?
Let me know how you make out at the ENT.......
Yes, holiday weight...gained 4 pounds here....
still on me!
Best of luck, let me know how you make out!
Hugs back...funny you would say Amiga, I say it ALL the time!

He found no evidence of any inflammation and so no need to go to ENT.
I am so sad.
Has ANYONE had a hanging gland after surgery that eventually got smaller?
- Reply
some of the possibilities for an enlarged salivary gland:
- infection
- salivary gland stone
- narrow salivary gland ducts
- scary stuff (cancer)
you can have the area checked with an x-ray, ultrasound, CT Scan, and so on
don't assume it's only because of the face lift until you've ruled out other things
ace bandages on your head, bad, bad idea
warm compresses are good, drinking lots of water, sucking sour sugar free candies, sucking on a lemon, those sorts of things are all good
ice = bad idea as well

I just want to get on with my life! And all I do now is look at a lump instead of a turkey neck.

also, there are lymph nodes in the same area, and touching the area frequently can cause these nodes to swell and become painful as well
I'm guilty of touching mine too, and I'm trying to break the habit!

Earth, thank you SO much ... I'm heading to YouTube in a few minutes! I recognize I could use a chill pill. I suppose that maybe my neck may not have a lot of extra room to disguise stuff (5'5", 125 lbs though a probably gland-dropping almost 48 years old), I just wish my body hadn't chosen this particular opportunity to be normal. :)
Kathy, I had to laugh at "you're pushing it" as I've apparently developed a habit of playing with mine ... A LOT. I sorta roll it around and see if I can jam it into any little void I can find. Gives me something to do when I'm on conference calls ... or driving ... or watching TV. Bummerly though, I've kinda resigned myself to the fact that I may never wear another turtle neck sweater as I look as if my chin has (errrr...) manly bits. D'OH!
The Goddess who responded to me in private message mentioned that her Dr eventually did a little extra lipo on her and then at the 12-month mark, recently sutured hers back a bit. She's only a bit post-op, but she says she's already happy with the results. (I'm not certain if there's a "what" that The Beast could be sutured to, but I'm waiting until February 1, then asking my Dr. if he'd consider doing the same for me. I do so getcha on the, "you wait so long" (and pay so much!), only to be mocked by your own body. NARG.
Anyhoo, yet another interesting adventure, I suppose!
Thanks again, ladies -- you've been a gift!!!
Note to moderator: I swear, I DID try to place my original post on the Dr. Q & A section, but the web site is mocking me. Won't allow me to enter any content into the question box. At least my intentions are pure. :)

I found your post while searching for salivary gland info.
My right salivary gland is larger than the left - and I went through all sorts of tests, including a CT scan to be certain it was okay.
We're all asymmetrical, and these glands start to show more as we age, especially if we are thin.
There are some anatomy videos on youtube which I watched, to see other salivary glands! One video helped me a lot because the narrator explained how these glands are not always tucked up under the jaw, for some of us, they are simply more visible.
I hope this helps you out! You're normal!

Thank you so much for your kind reply!
Nope unfortunately, mine isn't "new swelling" it's definitely a freakish body part that's become far more noticeable (slowly over time) now 9 weeks after surgery. I apparently just have enormous salivary glands -- particularly on the right side. (The left is pronounced enough to throw a shadow, too, but it pales in comparison to my right one.)
Gawd help me, I woman at work asked me last week if I had a sore thoat. I *had* just finished a quick bout of ALLERGY sneezing, but nothing more than that so I replied with, "no, why?"
And to my HORROR, she said, "It just looks like your throat is swollen."
GAAAAAAAAK! (Thanks for feeding THAT complex, lady!)
I rec'd a terrific private message on this board from another woman with a matching situation who was one year post surgery. Her surgeon was able to correct the situation without cutting the gland. I'll be sharing that note with my surgeon in hopes that he can do something similar. If he isn't able, I'll need to at least interview to find a surgeon with resolution ideas. (

My PS did indicate that it could be surgically corrected but I am done, so done with plastic surgery. It took me 7 freaking years to get the nerve to get a neck lift and to have a lump seems so unfair.
best wishes to you, please let me know how you make out...

Last season the Philadelphia Eagles' took a big chance of former superstar quarterback Michael Vick after starting quarterback Kevin Kolb went down in Week 1 against the eventual Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers. There were plenty of people that doubted Vick's ability to get back to dominant form, but he was able to do just that as he became arguably the most entertaining and explosive football player in the NFL once again.
With Vick getting back to form after serving time in jail, the former villain of the NFL became a superstar once again and made a lot of people forget about his past with his play on the gridiron. The next former star player that will be looking to do the exact same thing next season is former New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress.
With Plaxico Burress soon to be released from prison, a lot of teams around the league in need of a wideout have been considering signing the one-time Super Bowl champion. Whether or not he can still perform at the same level remains to be seen, but with Michael Vick re-emerging as a superstar last season, Burress might benefit from his friend's success.
Reportedly, one of the many teams that have some interest in acquiring Burress's services next season is the Oakland Raiders. Last season was a breath of fresh air for the struggling storied franchise as they finished the season at 8-8 and became one of the best running teams in the league with running back Darren McFadden leading the way.
Now that the Raiders have established their running game for the future, they need to make their offense more versatile with a potent passing attack. With that being said, Oakland will be looking to give quarterback Jason Campbell a downfield threat with a wide receiver like Plaxico Burress.

raiders baby 19-0 i hope foR THIS EVERY SEASON
An Eagles fan talking smack.
Like Black & Silver said: I'll take 10 over 45.
The Beagles had there chance again last year (and won lots of games by luck) and blew it again, like usual.
cambell is going to be good for the raiders! we need somebody who gone catch you seen how passes them wideouts dropped and the eagles will never win! (where'smcnabb?)
If that were true…which it might be…that makes one ring! I believe the last game the Raiders played the Eagles..The Raiders beat the Eagles with Jagarbage Russell..Didn't take much I guess..Ill take 10+ years over 45 years. I know you want to have a winning team real bad but talking smack about a team with overall way more success than yours…just seem ignorant! Good Luck on them 3 years though!
Campbell is a joke, you're right. But the Eagles are a joke of a franchise. Never won a Super Bowl and never will.
Raiders are a joke? you guys have't even won a superbowl in your lifetime!! You are the joke. if Plax goes to the birds? LOL hey were you alive when the Raiders hammered your eagles? Do you know who Dick Vermeil is?
cambell is a joke. raiders are a joke for 10 + years in a row. if Plax goes to the birds you know he will have a ring in less than 3 years. NOUGH SAID

Topic - UK to Ariege, tips and interesting stops?
JayPee630 - on 08 Jun 2013
Am planning a 3 week trip from the UK this August, driving to Ariege and then over into Spain, and then back again to the UK.
Am thinking one night somewhere in mid-France on the way down and back and then 2 or so weeks in Ariege and the Pyrenees with a few days excursion in Barcelona to see some friends.
Aim is a relaxing holiday, some easy sport climbing (6a+ max) maybe some long multi-pitch sport routes, lots of wine drinking and cheese eating and lying in the sun and swimming. Have a van that we can sleep in, but intend to maybe book a week at one of the places in Ariege that's friendly to climbers.
Any tips, suggestions, interesting places to stop and visit - either on the way down or when there?
Cheers, JP

Yesterday afternoon in Toronto, David Wright knocked the 1,301st and 1,302nd hits of his illustrious career, moving him into sole possession of second place on the Mets' all-time hit list. And while he has a good chance of surpassing Ed Kranepool's franchise record of 1,418 this very year, the attention right now is turned to the man Wright just broke a tie for second with: the man whose 1,300th and final hit in the orange and blue will forever remain a controversy.
When Jose Reyes bunted himself to the batting title at the end of last season, we as Met fans tried to make excuses for him. "He really wanted to give the franchise its first…" "He's been working hard all season; let him have this one…" "He'll make it up to us next season when he comes back…" Turns out that was Reyes's last act in a New York uniform. He bolted for Miami a couple months later with a goodbye mostly devoid of gratitude, and gradually, much like with my viewing of M. Night Shyamalan's butchering of The Last Airbender a couple summers ago, we stopped trying to find the good within the sea of what was so wrong and accepted the display for what it was: a dud, through and through.
Even R.A. Dickey, so complimentary of his teammates in Wherever I Wind Up, thought there was something fishy about the way Reyes finished out his Mets career:
"To see a man who gives so much of himself, who plays with such passion, being a spectator as the final innings of the season came and went just doesn't seem to be the right image. I would've much preferred to see him flying around second with braids flapping and sliding head-first into third. Now, that would've been a much more fitting ending for Jose Reyes." (p. 294)
After Wright surpassed Reyes on the team's hit list, Howie Rose and Josh Lewin on WFAN began talking about why Jose ordered his batting title grab-'n'-go last year. They speculated that he already knew he wasn't coming back to New York, which meant he wouldn't have to answer to the fans over his bunt-on-and-out business. It's interesting to wonder what would've happened if he had taken any of the other three options, either bunting and staying, swinging and staying, or swinging and bolting. Clearly, swing-and-stay would have been the best option if Mets fans had the choice. But Reyes chose bunt-and-bolt, a choice which damaged him in the eyes of Flushing fans the most. Even the swing-and-bolt choice, while it would have stung, would have been better: at least he would've done the honorable thing and given us his absolute all.
Reyes's defection to South Beach conjures up another image of a famous athlete who a couple summers ago decided to "take his talents" down there. While it was hard and undesirable to make the connection in December, enough time has passed that we can start talking about Jose in LeBron terms.
I did not have a problem with the concept of LeBron James signing with the Miami Heat over the Cleveland Cavilers. In fact, I applaud him for at least having the decency to play out his contract before deciding to leave, as opposed to Carmelo Anthony and Deron Williams holding their franchises hostage in order to force a trade. Free agents should be able to sign with whomever they want; in this regard, I accept that Jose Reyes took his talents to South Beach because it was his right to do so. But what did bother me about James's move to Miami was the way he announced his Decision, ripping out his hometown's heart in a national TV spectacle. That was unnecessary, ill-conceived, and it made Cleveland hate him. Caviler fans may miss LeBron James the athlete, but they sure as heck don't miss LeBron James the man.
The same can be said about Jose Reyes in the eyes of Met fans: we may miss his skill, but the spectacle of his final act in an Amazin' uniform, not to mention the way he whined about not getting an "official" offer from New York in the offseason, cast a long shadow over his many talents. His actions were, like James's, unnecessary and ill-conceived, and they hurt our pride as fans of the New York Mets. So while we miss the way he helped us win ballgames, we do not miss Jose Reyes the man. This team is far better off without an attitude like that in the clubhouse.
You can follow me on Twitter @MidwesternMet and at my own Mets blog of the same name. Thanks for reading, have a nice day, and L.G.M!

Dougherty County-- Nearly $32,000 worth of steel was stolen from a Dougherty County construction site. The thieves showed up with a tractor trailer truck and fork lift to load the tons of metal sheets. They were taken from a warehouse building project at the corner of Clarke Avenue and Pine Bluff Road sometime over the weekend.
Investigators are sure the thieves know the construction business. "It appears everything has been taken to build some type of building," said Dougherty Co. Police Lt. Dennis Dawson. "We have placed a lookout throughout Southwest Georgia for the building materials and a possible description of a vehicle maybe used to take these items."
250 sheets of Metal siding, three boxes of fasteners, bottom rails and 293 galvanized roofing sheets were stolen. A steel rolling door was stolen from the construction site earlier this month. Steel Building Construction Incorporated of Valdosta owns the stolen building materials.

Reader's Blog: Week seven awards: Still stressful, but in a good way (like Lost)
Gonna have to make this a short one after a long night of Lost. The Cubs had a 5-2 week, their best week of the year and their first winning week since Week Four when they were 4-3. The Rockies were a game over .500 entering their series with the Cubs, which means the Cubs played three above average teams and managed to sweep a series, split a series, and win another. The last four games were one-run affairs, and it was nice to see the Cubs on the positive side of a couple close decisions.
Ryno of the Week: If there's one thing I hate, it's being repetitive. But even though the one thing I hate is being repetitive, this week's winner is the same as last week's: Sean Marshall. The 6'7 lefty had two wins and two holds, and lowered his ERA from 2.46 to 2.01 in the process. In the month of May, he's 4-0 with a 0.79 ERA. I shudder to think where the Cubs would be without him this year.
I have to give special props to some great offensive performances as well: Starlin Castro had at least one hit in all seven games en route to an 11-for-29 week with five RBI and four runs. And in limited duty, Tyler Colvin went 6-for-11 with four runs and two RBI.
Honorable mentions: Carlos Silva, Alfonso Soriano
Goat of the Week: This is a tough one, but I'm going to go with John Grabow. He appeared in four games this week and was very consistent--he allowed at least one run in every outing. He also walked five guys in just 3.1 innings, and had a 10.80 ERA. He is completely and utterly useless.
I'm giving Aramis Ramirez a pass this week only because one of his two hits directly resulted in the Cubs winning a game. But as my dad said, he's fast-approaching permanent Goat of the Week status; he was 2-for-18 with seven strikeouts. Here's a stat that will bring a tear to your eye even if none of those Lost montages did: Ramirez has struck out 40 times this year; in 2006 he played 157 games and struck out 63 times. WHAT IS GOING ON WITH HIM?
Dishonorable mentions: Geovany Soto, Derrek Lee
Bradon writes at Wait Til This Year, an awesome Cubs blog
Heroes and Villains (Game Recap: Cubs 5, Rangers 4)
Last night's effort to score runs got little help from most of our veteran regulars. Ryan Theriot, Derrek Lee, and Aramis Ramirez each went 0-for-5, and Marlon Byrd and Geo Soto were also hitless.
Instead, it was Alfonso Soriano and... the... Sorianettes? that got most of the work done. The Fonz himself blasted a two-run homer, Darlin' Starlin Castro added a solo shot to the opposite field (...!!!), and Tyler Colvin and Kosuke Fukudome came off the bench in the top of the tenth inning to lead off with back-to-back hits, with both eventually scoring to give the Cubs a two-run lead, all of which Carlos Marmol would end up needing.
Randy Wells posted a solid performance, allowing three earned runs in 8.1 innings, with six strikeouts and only one walk, seemingly solidifying his position in the rotation while Carlos Zambrano pitches a simulated game on Monday.
In Carrie Muskat's article that explained that Z would be throwing a sim game, Lou was quoted as saying he didn't know what his rotation will be once Z comes back into it. Frankly, I can't figure it out either.
Gamecast: May 22, 2010 - Cubs @ Rangers
Randy Wells (3-2, 4.13) vs. Derek Holland (2-0, 2.38)
Randy Wells heads back to the mound hoping for better run support than he's been provided recently, or better than what the Cubs provided Theodore Lilly last night. In his last start Monday night against the Rox, Wells went 6 2/3 strong, but Grabow predictably shit away the lead in the 8th, before some 11th inning Aramis Ramirez (??) heroics landed the Cubbies a W. Speaking of Ramirez, he's back in the lineup tonight after a sore thumb has limited him the past couple games. Problem is, he's DH'ing. This bothers me. If he's not healthy enough to play 3rd, then I don't want him DH'ing. I'd rather see someone like Tyler Colvin in the lineup instead. What's wrong with Colvin in LF and Soriano DH'ing? That seems to make more sense. But instead sore-thumbed and limp-batted Aramis will be back in the middle of the lineup to continue his season long funk. Eff that.
Opposing Wells will be Derek Holland, a young lefty who had a very up and down rookie season in 2009. After dominating in AAA to start the season, the Rangers called up Holland a week and a half ago, and he's rewarded that call with 2 good starts. We'll see if that continues tonight.
Who's Hot
Starlin continues to rake even though he can't seem to find a consistent spot in the lineup..having batted 8th, 2nd, 7th, and 9th in the last 4 games. His average on the season sits at .365, and that one miserable game aside, I've been 100% in favor of the kid's play. He's exciting, and any reason to get excited about the 2010 Cubs (read: Not Bullet Bob Howry) is a good thing. Also hot has been the starting pitching. We've seen a string of nice starts in a row, and having Wells continue that would be terrific.
Who's Not
Derrek Lee: 2 for 19 his last 5 games. It's been a bad season honestly. At least he's still drawing walks.
Geo Soto: 2 weeks ago, Geo was hitting .362. Today it's .280. At least he's still drawing walks.
That's it from here. As usual, I'd sure like a GD win tonight. Anyone else still alive and quasi-optimistic out there? I'd love to know I'm not alone.
Gamecast: May 21, 2010 - Cubs at Rangers
Ted Lilly (1-3, 4.65 ERA) vs. Colby Lewis (3-2, 3.68 ERA)
I'm so excited and I just can't hide it! Bob Howry is making his comeback with the Cubs. I loooovvvee it! Well, maybe not love, but can he be worse than John Grabow? I guess they can be equally as bad and that is the problem with the Cubs.
The Cubs find themselves five games back today and ready for interleague play. It will be interesting to see how Lou handles the lineup, but I guess that Xavier Nady and Tyler Colvin will at least see a start or two. The Cubs could DH Alfonso Soriano and let Colvin play left, or just let Xavier Nady play. I'll try to update when the lineups are released.
Who's Hot (Night Edition)
Starlin Castro - He loves the night to the tune of a .393 average.
Mike Fontenot - He's hitting .371 with a .909 OPS.
Who's Not
Aramis Ramirez - Not surprisingly, but Ramirez is only hitting .132 at night.
Derrek Lee - Again, not shocking, but Lee's hitting .188 under the lights.
Interleague play is novality, but it is here to stay. I would like to see the Cubs in all the American League parks at some point. So, at least until I hit my last seven ballparks.
Series Preview: Chicago Cubs at The Texas Rangers of Arlington (May 21-23)
The Cubs travel to Arlington to open up Interleague play and face a red-hot Rangers team. The Rangers have always been known as an "offense first" squad and this year is no different. The Rangers are 3rd in the AL in terms of batting average and 5th in OBP. However, unlike previous years, the pitching staff of the club has been very serviceable. The club has the 6th best ERA in the AL and ranks second in strikeouts. Much of this success is due to the new and improved Colby Lewis, the excellent start to the season of CJ Wilson, and the recent callup of Derek Holland. The Cubs will get to face all three in this upcoming series.
The Matchups
Friday, May 21, 2010- Colby Lewis (3-2, 3.68) vs. Ted Lilly (1-3, 4.65)
Lewis has been a big surprise story for the Rangers. After a terrible showing the first time around in the MLB, Lewis returned from Japan with the goal of making good on his once "top prospect" status. From 2002 to 2007 Lewis compiled a 6.71 ERA over 217.1 major league innings, walking 124 batters. He then went to Japan and became an immediate success. His success was not a coincidence. During that time he altered his delivery, added a cutter, and bought into the philosophy of pounding the strike zone. He has good velocity and what some refer to as an "unholy breaking pitch." So far this has meant success as he has a 2.57 SO/BB ratio and a mid 3's ERA pitching in the AL. However, he has lost his past two decisions after starting 3-0 on the season, so hopefully the Cubs have caught him at a good time.
Lilly notched a quality start in his last outing against the Pirates, allowing 3 ER over seven innings. He has now gone seven innings in back to back starts, which is promising considering he is still sort of recovering from knee surgery. Hopefully Lilly can increase the strikeouts against a hungry Rangers lineup and get a win.
Saturday, May 22, 2010- Derek Holland (2-0, 2.38) vs. Randy Wells (3-2, 4.13)
Holland is one of those "came out of nowhere" prospects for the Rangers system. He was drafted in the 25th round in 2006 with out much hype. At the time he threw a 90-92 MPH fastball and had a nice repeatable delivery, so there was good potential for him. In 2008 he finished 10th overall in strikeouts for the minors with 157. Much of this sucess can be credited to the development of his fastball. During 2008, his fastball started middle at 93-96 with a sinking motion, sometimes touching up to 98 MPH. He compliments this fastball with a changeup and a slider that both come in at low 80s. So far he has been able to parlay his stuff into success at the big league level, winning his first two starts.
Wells should be 4-2 after his outing this past week against the Rockies where he went 6 2/3 innings of one run ball. Hopefully we can see more of the same out of Wells and get him a well-deserved win.
Sunday, May 22, 2010- CJ Wilson (3-1, 2.55) vs. Carlos Silva (5-0, 3.35)
This is a matchup of unlikely aces. Wilson has spent most of his career in the bullpen as a closer or setup man, but with Feliz and Frank Francisco holding down the setup and closer roles in Texas, Wilson needed a new gig. So far it has been smooth sailing until his last outing. Wilson only lasted 4 1/3 innings against the Angels after giving up seven runs. His homerless streak ended when Torii Hunter took him deep.
Silva is 5-0 and no one really knows what to do. I have to admit, he's been pretty impressive in his consistency and can be maddening for hitters when he stays ahead in counts. I haven't seen anything to the contrary, so I expect another quality start out of Carlos... even if it continues to defy logic.
This is going to be a rough matchup, but if the Cubs can continue to show life with their bats and John Grabow doesn't get put into a game, I can see the Cubs taking 2 out of 3.

Game Recap: Phillies 5, Cubs 4
Well folks, this one had a little bit of everything: Starlin Castro being good (mostly), a nice comeback to tie it up, John Grabow blowing a game, and Aramis looking feeble.
I'm just going to ignore most of the game and skip right to the part where Grabow came into the game in the 8th. What is Lou thinking bringing Grabow into a tie game? This situation has played out countless times in close games, and always with the same result: bringing Grabow into a game as a "stopper" is about as successful as throwing water on a grease fire. In this game, Grabow came into the 8th inning with one out and gave up a walk, got a deep flyout, and then allowed another walk and a hit that scored the winning run. Epic failure, once again. This is about the time where the Cubs need to start dreaming up some mystery ailment that Grabow can get for an entire season. I'm sure David Patton can let Grabow in on what he was afflicted with last season.
Despite the incompetence of John Grabow, the Cubs still had a chance in the 9th to tie it up. Soriano led off the inning with a walk/hit by pitch and advanced to third on a Fontenot single. However, with runners at the corners and no outs, the Cubs failed to put a ball in play. Probably the most disappointing out came when Aramis flailed at ball 4 to strike out for the second out of the inning. Honestly, he looks about as lost at the plate as it gets.
On a good note, Jeff Stevens looked good and had a scoreless IP and Derrek Lee went yard on a no-doubter in the 7th. Kosuke tied it up in the 8th with a shot to right field off left-hander Anthony Bastardo.
Not much else to say other than that this game was both frustrating and emotionally draining. I keep hoping Lou will figure out that Grabow shouldn't be used ever, but based on his use of Bob Howry last year, I think this is a pipe dream.
Gamecast: May 20th, 2010 - Cubs at Phillies
Ryan Dempster (2-4, 3.29 ERA) vs. Joe Blanton (1-2, 5.49 ERA)
I give up. I just can't figure out this team out to save my life. One day they can't hit or play defense. The next day they run off four in a row against quality teams. They beat the Rockies and Phillies, but can't beat the Pirates. This really is disturbing to me as a fan.
Today the Cubs go for their second straight mini-sweep, before they fly off to Texas for some good ole interleague play against the Rangers.
Dempster toes the rubber for the Cubs. Last time out he was a hard-luck loser against Pirates. Blanton, on the other hand, gave up five runs in seven innings and still got the win. It doesn't seem fair that we judge so much by wins and losses for pitchers.
Surprisingly the Cubs are only 4.5 games back in the central with plenty of baseball ahead. Of course, I'm not sure I want to see Bob Howry join this club, which I didn't know was an option. Didn't we already see that show? Now, if they want to hire him as a bouncer in the bleachers, then I'm all for it.
Who's Hot
Starlin Castro - Last night we saw the future. In the 8th inning Jason Werth hit a ball in the hole and Castro makes a great throw to get him by a step. There is no way that Ryan Theriot makes that play, and the Cubs could have lost the game. By the way, he's hitting .364 in his last six games.
Xavier Nady - Huge hit last night and he's got three his in his last nine now. I was little shocked to see Baker play right last night, but I guess Baker hasn't played in a while and they needed to get him some AB's.
Who's Not
Geovany Soto - He's as cold as ice. Soto is only hitting .143 lately and is not helping.
Esmailin Caridad - In his comeback, Caridad pitched a 1/3 of an inning and now is heading back to the DL.
Special Mention to Derrek Lee, Aramis Ramirez and John Grawbow - All have played below expectations, but have shown signs of breaking out.
The Cubs are a confusing team, but I like the wins as of late. Hopefully, they can finish off the Phillies and roll over the Rangers this weekend.
Reader Blog: Howry reuniting with Cubs?
Reliever Bob Howry was recently released by the Diamondbacks, and word on the street is that the Cubs might reach out to him. Howry, of course, pitched for the Cubs from 2006-2008 before heading to the Giants in '09 and then Arizona this year. He was released after posting a 10.67 ERA in 14 appearances.
My immediate reaction upon hearing that the Cubs might sign Howry was two parts disgust and one part anger. A 36-year-old retread who couldn't even keep a job in the Diamondbacks' bullpen, which is the worst in the league by far? Jeez, Hendry, how desperate are you?
But then I remembered: Hendry is very desperate. As he should be. Cubs relievers sport a 4.95 ERA, and Sean Marshall, James Russell and Carlos Marmol are the only relievers I feel good about (perhaps because they're the only relievers with ERAs under six). The Cubs can sign Howry for about $280,000, otherwise known as "nothing" in the baseball world. It's a low risk, potentially high reward move. If Howry makes two or three appearances and sucks ... well, that's probably what Esmailin Caridad or John Grabow would have done anyway. And if he pitches well ... then Jeff Gray or Jeff Stevens can head back to the minors where they belong.
I don't expect much from Howry if the Cubs do in fact sign him. But recall that Jim Edmonds was hitting .178 with one home run and six RBI when he was cut by the Padres in 2008. With the Cubs, he put up a .343 OBP and 20 homers.
No one knows for sure what kind of numbers Howry could put up with the Cubs. But we do know that he'll play for next-to-nothing and that we don't have a whole lot of reliable options in our bullpen at the moment. Go ahead, Jim, take a shot.

Reader Blog: The Tyler Colvin Effect
Tyler Colvin has played in 34 of the Cubs' 41 games and has started just 12 of those. But here's the more interesting number: 19. Colvin has played in 19 games that the Cubs have won. Of course, the Cubs have won 19 games total, which means ... Colvin has played in every Cubs victory this year.
Here are the scores of the games in which he did not appear at all:
Lost to ATL 3-2
Lost to NYM 4-0
Lost to PIT 3-2
Lost to PIT 4-2
Lost to CIN 14-2
Lost to FLA 4-2
Lost to FLA 3-2
Now I'm not suggesting that the Cubs are guaranteed to lose if Colvin doesn't play, but it does seem worth noting that the team is 19-15 when he steps on the field and 0-7 when he doesn't. That's as good an argument as any that he should get more playing time.
As I mentioned, he's had 12 starts through 41 games. When Piniella announced that the 24-year-old would make the team out of spring training, he stated the importance of finding him 2-3 starts per week. We're halfway through week seven, which means he's not even averaging two starts per week.
The problem, of course, is sort of a good one: Fukudome, Byrd and Soriano are all hitting at least .313 (Colvin is hitting .295), so it's been tough to get him into the lineup. But if we look at OPS, it's a little easier to argue that Colvin should be playing more:
Fukudome- .946
Colvin------- .936
Byrd ---------.936
Among major league rookies, only Jason Heyward has more home runs than Colvin and only Heyward and the Tigers' Brennan Boesch have a higher OPS.
I grant that Colvin probably can't sustain these numbers--he's never had an OPS over .850 even in the minors. But he's playing well right now and deserves the 2-3 starts per week Lou promised back in March.
It's a strange time to write this post; after all, Lou did in fact start Colvin two of the last three games. But that was on the heels of six straight non-starts despite the fact that he hit a go-ahead home run the game before that. Those two starts also came just after Lou snapped at a reporter for asking whether Colvin should get more playing time. The answer, Lou, is yes.

Series Preview: Cubs vs. Phillies (belated)
Whoops. Sorry for the lateness.
In one hand, you've got the Phillies. Back-to-back NL Champs. Presently 9 games over .500, touting one of the meanest offenses in the game. Their star slugger, Ryan Howard, has 7 homeruns and 29 RBI in 38 games, and he's actually being outproduced on various levels by Chase Utley, Shane Victorino, and Jayson Werth.
In the other hand, you've got the Cubs. Back-to-back(x51) NL losers. Their 13-million dollar first baseman is batting .229. Their similarly-well-paid third baseman is hitting at a .171 clip. Their nearly 20-million dollar ace is pitching from out of the bullpen. Can anybody say, "Phillies sweep Cubs?"
Aha, but it didn't happen. The Cubs romped their way past Jamie "GET OFF MY LAWN" Moyer, who probably would pitch no-hitters every time out were he not battling arthritis and dementia. But more on that in a different post. Let's instead look to the future...
Thursday, May 20th - Ryan Dempster (2-4, 3.49 ERA) vs. Joe Blanton (1-2, 5.49 ERA)
Jesus. Ryan Dempster, 2-4, decent ERA. Tom Gorzelanny, 2-4, even better ERA. Ted Lilly, 1-3, modestly respectable ERA. WTF?
Hey, the Cubs are due. Ryan Dempster is due. The Phillies are not as good as their record. And while I like Joe Blanton -- if only because he is leniently listed as weighing 244 pounds*, the Cubs are playing like a legitimately respectable big league team right now. Kinda sorta.
Even worse -- we missed the Series Preview to a two-game Series. Embarrassing. The Tribune editors would have my job over this mix-up! In light of recent debates on this blog, in the face of a possible 4-game winning streak, and at the risk of being labeled a homer (when, really, I'm not even remotely homeresque), I will say this:
Despite giving Cub fans the best regular production from first base since Ernie Banks, I enjoy how quickly some fans are to throw Derrek Lee under the bus. We get it -- he's your scapegoat.
But, much like Lee (and Rammy's) numbers thus far, 40 games of baseball can easily be characterized as a small sample size. Don't believe me? After 40 games last year, the Kansas City Royals were 21-19. They'd finish the year just shy of 100 losses. Even the 103-win Yankees of last year looked pretty brutal up until Game 33. Before that point, they were 15-17.
Don't let this convince you that I'm flip-flopping. I still want the Cubs to fire Jim Hendry's ass, so somebody with some passion can step in and assemble a perennial winner. But even I know that neither the Cubs, nor Lee, nor Ramirez are done. Not yet.

After spending a week designing and creating their puppets and rehearsing their lines, about 20 junior puppeteers from Portland Community Center's summer day camp are ready for their curtain call.
The youngsters will present the 30-minute children's opera, "Chip and His Dog," at 3 p.m. Friday, June 10 in the gymnasium of Portland Community Center, 640 N. 27th St.
The youths, ages 8-12, have spent the week making the puppets, props and scenery and learning to manipulate the characters as part of a weeklong Opera Puppet Theater workshop sponsored by Councilwoman Cheri Bryant Hamilton. Councilwoman Hamilton funded the workshop, conducted by the Kentucky Opera, with an appropriation from the 5th District Neighborhood Projects Reserve Fund.
Hamilton said programs like the Kentucky Opera's Opera Puppet Theater workshops play an important role in educating our community's youth, providing a point of entry for a complex art form and developing the opera audience of tomorrow.
A similar camp will be held the week of June 20 at Shawnee Community Center, 607 S. 37th St.

High Performance Sport New Zealand (HPSNZ) has raised the bar in releasing its strategy through to 2020, targeting 14 medals at the 2016 Rio Olympics and 16 four years later.
New Zealand equalled its best-ever Olympic medal haul with 13 at the London Games this year, the same as at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. The Kiwi Paralympics team collected 17 medals, its best effort in 12 years.
HPSNZ chief executive Alex Baumann says New Zealand's efforts at both Games led to "outstanding results".
"But we need to refine how we operate if we are to continue building on this success and this strategy represents the next step in the evolution of the high performance system," he said.
As well as setting new Olympic targets, HPSNZ's latest strategy sets out investment support priorities.
These include supporting sports and athletes that have medal potential at summer and winter Olympics and Paralympics, and non-Olympic sports that can win world championships.
HPSNZ has targeted at least one medal from the Winter Olympics in Sochi in two years, and two or more in 2018.
Alpine skier Annelise Coberger won New Zealand's only winter Olympics medal when she took silver in the women's slalom at the 1992 Games in Albertville, France.
Paralympics targets include two or more golds from the 2014 winter Games, with between eight and 12 gold medals expected at Rio in 2016.
Baumann said New Zealand's high performance sport system was continuing to evolve. Recent changes included the Government's significant boost in funding in 2010, the formation of HPSNZ in 2011, and greater targeting of resources.
Sports will present their high performance plans to HPSNZ for consideration in November, with the next investment decisions expected in December.

This tasted like vinegar. I love the idea of a lentil salad, but it was tough to eat. I'd try it again with a fraction of the vinegar, it has potential.
Marinated Lentil Salad

bravekatie Posted: 11/23/09
I threw this away after about 3 bites. The only reason I'm giving two stars instead of one is that I think maybe if I hadn't followed the suggestion to undercook the lentils and had just had mushy lentils, it wouldn't have been quite so bad. Plus, I need to grade on a curve because this recipe did not sound good to me when I first saw it but the reviews were great so I wanted to try it. So maybe it's me, not the recipe.
Hyphuggr Posted: 05/02/10
This recipe is delicious as is. The only change I made was an accident. I only had one lemon and had doubled the recipe, so I used lime juice and leftover light Cranberry Juice to make up the difference. It is appropriate for special occasions for adventurous eaters, as these types of whole grain salads can be an acquired taste.

Okay, there were many other 5-star reviews of this that have been erased. This is a wonderful and healthful salad. My husband loves this (he loves legumes). It is fantastic as is
RuthHansson Posted: 05/10/12
Great salad. Super easy. Had to make lentils for Shepherd's pie but only needed a half cup cooked lentils for the recipe. I used the remaining lentils to make this salad. I used half the dressing for the lentil salad and half for a green salad with shredded cheese. Dinner was a hit.

I was trying to come up with a cute little decoration for an Easter table setting that I need to design for a friend....These are so easy to make and so cute!
These are very quick and easy to do! All it takes is Chow mein noodles, butter, peanut butter, vanilla, and marshmallows!
Start with 3 tablespoons of butter, 2 tablespoons of peanut butter and 3 cups of marshmallows.
Melt it all together on low heat
Add chow mein noodles, stir, and then grease up your hands with some canola oil or vegetable oil, and roll out a small ball a little larger than a golf ball. Form into greased muffin pans to make a small nest.
Let cool completely.Remove from the muffin tins, then add your chocolate Easter eggs! How adorable!!
Edible Birds Nests
3 cups large or mini marshmallows
3 TBSP unsalted butter
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 TBS peanut butter
4 c. dry chow mein noodles
Chocolate candy Easter eggs
Grease a large muffin tin. Set aside.
Over low heat, melt the marshmallows ,peanut butter, and butter in a large saucepan.
Once melted, stir in vanilla, then the chow mein noodles.
Coat your hands with vegetable oil , to prevent sticking .
Grab a clump of noodles a little larger than a golf ball size.
Using your hands , gently form the clump of noodles into a ball by rolling it around in your hands .
Press into greased muffin tin , pressing up on the sides to create a nest shape.
Allow to cool before placing candies inside.
yields: approx. 14 nests
Here's what they looked like on the Easter table!

just be prepared………(message to my Daft Punkers)
ok so…
i'm just letting y'all know just be prepared. There will be a lot of new fans.
they might just well be unwanted hipsters claiming that they herd them first (that will pronounce Guy's name as in a guy and not rhymed like pea) and you may want to punch the heck out of them, but we just got to be ready and don't let them break up our amazing Daft family.
But on the other hand there will be some new awesome fans that will carry on loving Daft Punk
to them they wont be just a fad band that had a good hit in 2013
they will be like us. So just don't beat down on them
I too are anxious about this just remember we're all in this together
Daft Punker forever and always!

The first part of my psychology class extra credit powerpoint, the part on Doctor Who. (there was a thing so I edited and reposted)
~Love it~
I'm thinking of writing my own article on this as well, when I finish with Amy Pond/RIver Song/Clara.
I think the problem is that Steven Moffat doesn't exactly know what makes a "strong female character."
Aside from the lover/mother thing being a running trend with his ladies (aside from the three mentioned above, we also have Nancy in The Empty Child/Doctor Dances and Madame de Pompadour in The Girl in the Fireplace—Sally Sparrow is about the only exception since her motivation wasn't centered around a boy, though even she had two love interests in the span of her one episode, with Lawrence Nightingale and the other dude), it seems to me like Moffat thinks "sassy, mouths off a lot" is what makes a female character strong. Like, as long as they have attitude, then they're strong characters.
And I've noticed that in the fandom, too. When some friends and I were discussing the problems I had with Amy's introduction in "The Eleventh Hour" (namely, the fact that while Rose, Martha, and Donna all actively helped to save the day in their introductory episodes, Amy quite literally "saved the day" by falling asleep and having the Doctor coach her through it—so in other words, instead of her helping him as the other companions did, he helped her), I had numerous people tell me things like:
- "No, Amy's strong, she doesn't take any of the Doctor's shit!"
- "She tells him off all the time."
- "It's Amy's choice whether to be with the Doctor or Rory!!"
And that … that's not really very comforting, because not only have all of the Doctor's companions stood up and mouthed off to him when he's crossed the line (out of the New Who companions of RTD's era, the ones who argued the least were actually Wilfred Mott andCaptain Jack Harkness; Rose, Martha, Donna, and Mickey all gave the Doctor earfuls plenty of times), but there's more to being a strong character—and a strong female character, at that—than just being sassy. Telling the Doctor that he's being an assface every now and then doesn't make you a strong character. It makes you a character with a smart mouth, but when every single one of the other female characters this man has written has had a sassy mouth (Nancy, Reinette, Sally Sparrow, etc), that starts to stand out less and less as time goes on.
Oh, and before we go further? Being really violent doesn't make you a strong character, either. Just because you have a gun and know how to use it doesn't mean that you're strong.
So what makes a strong character, especially a female one, in my opinion? Well …
- Having a life outside of male characters, for one—especially the main one. Please raise your hand if you have ever criticized Bella Swan because her life revolved around Edward Cullen and/or (depending on the book) Jacob Black. Now put your hand down if you don't think it's a problem that the most important people in Amy's life are the Doctor and Rory Williams. Sure, Amy isn't just a blank slate character, but her parents are imagined back into existence and she doesn't even seem to care. They don't play a very integral role in the plot at all, even as side characters, and neither does the aunt that gets a mention once or twice, that she supposedly lives with as a kid. Frick, at least Charlie Swan has some key appearances in the Twilight series. Amy's parents and aunt get shown briefly at her wedding, I believe, and then not really again after, because the only characters Moffat felt were relevant to Amy's story were the Doctor (main male character), Rory (boyfriend/husband), and River (daughter). As for her job, well, she's a kissogram. And that's fine if that's what she chooses to do, but clearly it's not something she was passionate about as she later drops it to be a model (unlike Martha with her medical degree, as she later uses that in UNIT—and sure, that's not what she was originally going to do, but it's an understandable leap considering what she went through during the Year That Never Was). Meanwhile, you have River, and she does have parents—but her parents are Amy and Rory, who are with the Doctor, so that doesn't help her have a life outside of the Doctor, either. She does later become a professor, but again, that's due to the influence the Doctor has had on her. And then you have Clara, who is heavily played up as a love interest to the Doctor (which I mean, I ship them as well, so I'm not complaining too much there), whose parents are dead, and who has some kids that she nannies. So she's a bit better, and it seems like Moffat's learning, and then you learn that—as mentioned above, her entire existence hinges on her saving the Doctor. She exists to save him. Her life, in other words, revolves around him. These ladies' lives revolve around the men in them. We almost had a winner with Clara, and then lost it. And that's a problem to me.
And before I go further, let me just say that this is a problem not only for the lady characters, but also for the supporting cast, and the supporting cast is important to tell a fulfilling narrative. Rose Tyler came packaged with her mother, Jackie Tyler, and her kinda-sorta boyfriend Mickey Smith (best friend Mickey, really, if we're going to be honest). Jackie and Mickey gave Rose a reason to return to London periodically. They shaped her character because although she no longer had a shop job to return to, she felt incredibly guilty for making her mother worry for a year and for making Mickey go through all those police questioning sessions, and it was clear that these three people cared for each other dearly. Rose did choose to keep traveling, but it's very, very clear that she intends on keeping better contact and that she's going to come back for visits (which she does).
And on top of that, Jackie and Mickey got some of the best character development in New Who's run, imo. Jackie went from being an overprotective, suspicious woman who didn't care for change and wasn't open to the Doctor's world at all to being a fiercely protective, loyal, brave woman who was willing to hop across dimensions if it meant keeping her daughter safe. Mickey went from being a somewhat cowardly boy who was complacent with his mediocre life to being a courageous, clever man who was willing to travel the world if it meant defending it from any threat. Seasons one and two were great not only because of Rose, but because of the development we saw in the side characters of Jackie and Mickey as well.
And we got Martha with her medical degree and her family (and her family played a pivotal role in the dealings of season three), and Donna with her mother and her grandfather, Wilfred Mott, who becomes a companion himself. Rose, Martha, and Donna were not only fleshed out as real, breathing characters because of their families, jobs, and lives, but their families helped flesh out and impact the narrative and make the story more emotional and compelling.
By removing that element, Moffat is not only making Amy, River, and Clara suffer, but he's making the narrative suffer as a whole. I think that this is not only because he thinks sassy = strong without anything else added, but also because while Russell T. Davies focused the story of Who on the companions, Steven Moffat focuses the story of Who on the Doctor. RTD's Doctors got full arcs, yes, but seasons one and two are definitely about Rose and her story. Season three is about Martha. Season four is about Donna, and the End of Time is about Donna and Wilf to an extent as well, as much as it's about the Doctor's impending regeneration. Russell T Davies fleshed out his companions and made them people because they had stories to tell, because the Doctor—for all his brilliance—was not the hero of these tales. (Also note that while he didn't get to do quite the same for Jack in DW, that's what Torchwood is for.) The companions were the stars. The companions were the heroes. The companions look like giants to the Doctor because they are the reason for the show.
It's not so in Moffat's Who. In Moffat's Who, it's about the Doctor's pain, the Doctor's tragedy, how the Doctor deals with this and how he experiences that, and what the companions offer him. The "mystery wrapped in an engima" that they are, riddles for him to solve or lovers for him to caress in scenes of sassy flirtation. They are side characters to his story, whereas it can be easily argued that it was the other way around in RTD's era. And I think that's where the biggest difference comes in.
So … this was a long, rambling mess that got away from my original point, but I think this new epiphany still stands. Moffat writes the Doctor as the most important person in the universe. RTD wrote the companions as if they were the most important in the universe. YMMV on which is better, but, well … I think we know where my opinion stands on this.
And I still maintain that Moffat's writing suffers in direct response to his approach.
*appreciative, highly impressed applause*
Damn. That commentary fully expresses a lot of the things I feel about Moffat's Who, and does it really well. I am doing a slide on what Moffat thinks is a 'strong female character' and I could never put my feelings into words half as well as this. I salute you, that was a brilliant piece of commentary.
You know, I love Doctor Who, Eleven is my favorite doctor and I do love River and Amy but this is all true.
And I can't take it anymore. I hate what Moffat's doing to him.
I also wholeheartedly agree that he doesn't know what makes a strong female character. And he thinks if they're sassy they are strong.
And for me Clara being "born to save the doctor" was the limit.
I couldn't not reblog and respond to this shit storm of stupidity.
Lets break this down a bit yeah?
Just gonna get this bit out of the way first:
Racist. Who has he ever been racist to? Are you claiming this because he hasn't included any minorities in major roles? RTD only had two minorities and they were both black. No other minority has been a prevalent in Doctor Who. Know why? Because its England and the vast majority are White people. Out of 53 million people only 4.1 are Asian and 1,8 million are Black. The rest are White or mixed.
Bisexual erasure and Asexual erasure? Do you go after every T.V show and the writers that don't include Bisexual and Asexual characters? I'm sure you don't since that would be almost every show on the air. These are minorities and yes they should be represented. But RTD didn't have any Asexual or Bisexual characters either and you're not calling him out as an "Asexual and Bisexual erasure". Captain Jack Harkness was not Bisexual he was more close to being Pansexual(another minority you don't see very often in T.v).
" And more". Could you not think of any more things to pin on Moffat?
Now lets move on to the main point of this post. Sexism. "Amy's life revolves around our straight white male protag" So did Rose's,Donna's and Martha's. Rose ditched Micky countless times to go with the Doctor. She straight up left him in an alt universe and thought nothing of it because she still had the Doctor. This was actually one of the reasons Micky stayed in the alt universe. He felt he had no place back home because his girlfriend had replaced him with the Doctor. Who btw jokes that Mickey is "the tin dog" of the trio. The only time we see Rose choked up is when she can no longer be with the Doctor. Donna when the Doctor drops her off goes looking for weird things because she know the Doctor will show up. He's kind of the center of her life as well due this fact. The only reason she stopped looking for him is because she can't remember him. And then we have Martha who spent how long telling everyone about the Doctor. Traveled the world to tell everyone about him. Yes it was to save everyone but still she was centered on the Doctor. Her whole existence was to tell the world about him. Amy's was so they could tear it down later. As seen in " The God Complex".
"She forcibly kissed him the night of her wedding to another man. and its played off as a joke" This would be sexist towards men as its a double standard. RTD did the same thing with Rose and Madame de Pompadour. Yet again we don't see any of you taking out your pitch forks over those.
"Being used by the government for her baby/basically a human incubator" This was a tragic event. She wasn't "just a human incubator" this whole plot point had to do with finding out who River was and how she was important. It had to with the emotional roller coaster of losing your child just to find out she has been with you the whole time.
"Often referred to as 'The Legs' " This only came up once as a once off because she she has long legs. It was a joke that never came up again except in fan made stuff.
River Song:
All the points brought up here I've already gone over. The same goes for Clara. With these exception:
"Shes killed over and over" So was Rory.
"Clara exist to be useful to him" So are all the other companions. The reason he picks up humans is so he's not lonely. This has been brought up multiple times since the show came back on.
" Is it an evil spirit?

The New Orleans Police Department has released its report on sexual assault allegations against former Saints player Darren Sharper that were filed in September.
In the report, the victim said she met Sharper on September 23, 2013 at a bar during a night of heavy drinking. She said Sharper took her to his apartment at the end of the night and sexually assaulted her. The victim said she did not consent to the encounter, according to the police report.
Last week, Los Angeles police arrested Sharper on suspicion of rape. The LAPD said he is accused in two different attacks. Sharper was booked and released on $200,000 bail last Friday.
