Genre: Romantic Suspense, E-book
The only saving grace in this book is the steamy sex scenes. The plot is silly, and the characters are shallow, unlikable airheads, including the future doctor.
Tonia Fuller has made some poor life choices in the past. At 18, while working as a topless waitress, she met and married mobster Frankie Gobini. Now, Frankie is doing time, and Tonia is starting over. She divorced him, moved to Boston and changed her name.
Raphael Beauchamp is a medical student moonlighting as a paramedic. By the time of his second chance encounter with Tonia, he's falling for her -- against his better judgment. Tonia and Raphael join forces to determine what she has that the mob will stop at nothing to get. (CERRIDWENPRESS.COM, dl $6.49)

Developers often make use of constants to hold static values to use through the class or even through the application.Sometimes we use de const and sometimes the static readonly. They seem to do the same but aware of the differences.
ConstThe const field is a defined and evaluated at compile time and cannot be changed at runtime. So therefore a const member can only be of a value type, an enumeration a string literal or null. The initialization of classes and structures is done at runtime with the new keyword os cannot be used with const.It behaves like a static member but cannot be decalered like one.
public const string OwnerName = "Sottje";
ReadonlyThe value of a readonly fields can be initialized at runtime by declaration of using the constructor. When having multiple constructors, readonly fields have different values.A readonly member is not static by default. Make it explicit by using the static keyword.
public readonly string OwnerName = "Sottje";
public class MyClass
public readonly string OwnerName;
public MyClass()
OwnerName = "Sottje";

STACKS AND STACKS OF COOKBOOKS fill Dayton Titus's dining room.
"Help yourself," he said. "The kids have already taken the ones they want."
Post-it notes stuck up from the bindings.
"Did you mark your favorite recipes?"
"Hell, no. Gayle did."
Gayle Klingler Titus, who died in October 2011, was acclaimed in both the Mattole and Eel River Valleys for her cooking and baking. I wanted to load up the back of my car with the entire lot and spin out in the driveway before Dayton changed his mind.
I didn't, of course. I chose "Favorite Raisin Recipes."
I picked it out because of the cover line: From the Raisin Wives of California.
A raisin wife. That was a life possibility that had never occurred to me.
Before I baked anything, I went to the 'net. The Raisin Wives of California, a fairly new organization, was founded in 1972, a year before the cookbook was published.
I called the president, Lladona Estermann, who lives in Kerman. (The parents of Lladona and her husband, David, immigrated as children with their families from Indiana and Iowa, respectively, arriving in the Central Valley in the early 1900s. Once in the valley, both families became raisin farmers.)
"We only have about 30 members now," Lladona said, "we're down from well over a hundred members fifteen years ago. We're old. The young wives are too involved with their kids in sports.
Until that moment, everything I knew about raisins was centered on the vision of a dark-haired young woman in a red bonnet on a red box with a yellow sun.
"We Raisin Wives all belong to the Sun-Maid co-op," Lladona said. (Sun-Maid, 94 years old, is owned by raisin growers who live within 100 miles of each other in California's San Joaquin Valley.)
The dark-haired girl on the Sun-Maid box was Lorraine Collett Petersen. As Sun-Maid's website says: "In May 1915, she was discovered drying her black hair curls in the sunny backyard of her parents' home in Fresno…she was then asked to pose for a painting while holding a basket tray of fresh grapes. …the treasured original watercolor painting is today kept safely in a concrete vault at Sun-Maid's headquarters in Kingsburg, California…sometimes we forget that in 1915 there were no electric hair dryers…"
(The last comment reveals that no cynical editor touched the Sun-Maid website copy. I would have deleted that line with margin notes: "Off-point!" "Spoils original image!")
Tell me about making raisins, I said. I'd already consumed a bag via a Brandied Raisin Applesauce Cake (p. 9).
"We grow Thompson seedless grapes, same as green table grapes, except that our culture practices are different. We don't want ours to be great big, with tough skin. Raisin grapes have to be smaller. If they weren't, it would take forever and a year to dry. It takes four to five pounds of grapes to make a pound of raisins. We figure 2.5 tons per acre, if everything goes well. Lack of water, like now, you just never know. We just got our first water today — we can get water when the west side of the San Joaquin Valley can't — we get water from March or April through September or October, from a reservoir of melted snow in the mountains. Irrigation water comes through ditches from the mountains to the valley. We belong to the Fresno Irrigation District." (The FID, publicly held and controlled for nearly a century, serves 245,000 rural and urban acres in Fresno County.)
"This year, we've had 25% less than normal snow, and it's dry on top of that. If we don't get water that way, we have to pump ground water. Some farmers' wells are going dry.
"Anyway, Thompson grapes are also used for commercial sweeteners — they're very sweet — as a wine blend, and in one of the steak sauces. A1. They're green until they're really ripe, and then they're kind of yellow. That's when they're really, really good, but people won't buy them because they think the raisins have gone bad.
"We start picking the first of September. We put the bunches on paper trays, craft paper, like grocery bags, 2 feet by 3.5 feet. We put the trays between the rows. All hand work. The raisins dry there, in the sun. Then, we put them in big boxes and take them to the Sun-Maid processing plant in Kingsburg, where they're cleaned and stemmed and fumigated for mites."
What happens to the grapeless vines, I wondered.
"We shred the canes, stack them in the middle of the rows, and a machine cuts them up and works them into the ground. We're trying not to burn anything. We have the worst air quality in the state. The prevailing summer winds from the north blows in the junk from the Bay Area, there's a dust from farming, trucks on I-5 and the exhaust…"
I had a question for the expert. We have a grapevine at our place, tiny purple wine grapes that came from Italy as grew from a slip carried in Paolo Gabrielli's coat lining. Years ago, I was told by Fulmina Borges that the time to prune the vine was after the first full moon in January.
I mentioned this tip in an effort to wow the president of the Raisin Wives of California with my knowledge of the lore of viticulture.
"Never heard of that one," Lladona said. "We prune after a frost. Otherwise, the leaves are still hanging on the vine.
"You can't see to prune if the leaves are on."
There's so much life wisdom in that comment, I have nothing to say.

Sunday night the streaking Vancouver Canucks came to Denver to play the Colorado Avalanche in a heated matchup between the two division rivals. The Avalanche began the game in second place in the Northwest Division, six points behind the first place Canucks.
After a very intense and physical contest that left the crowd biting its collective nails until the end, Canucks' goaltender Roberto Luongo shined bright as the 'Nucks were able to hold off the Avs and win, 2-1.
"Anytime you play those guys it's just a matter of inches," said Avalanche forward Paul Stastny. "And if one of ours that almost went in [got in] or if one of theirs doesn't, it's a whole different game."
As soon as the puck dropped the physical aggression commenced, with the animosity between the two rivals being clearly demonstrated as they took turns landing big hits on each other. Aided by solid offensive pressure and a couple of power plays, the Avalanche spent most of the first period in the Canucks' zone. However, despite having good scoring opportunities and launching many hard shots, Roberto Luongo's stellar play kept the Avs off the scoreboard.
Then, with the Avs on a power play and 1:45 left in the period, the 'Nucks snatched a loose puck, skated it down the ice with a two-on-one attack, and Alex Bolduc wristed the puck past Avs goaltender Craig Anderson for his first goal of his career, and the 'Nucks a 1-0 lead after 20 minutes
The Avs once again brought serious waves of pressure onto the Canucks' side of the ice in the second period, but once again they were unable to figure out how to get the puck past Luongo, who made one excellent save after another to keep the Canucks' 1-0 lead intact.
The physical intensity also continued into the second period as an abundance of pummeling hits were being delivered on both sides. During one stoppage a shoving match nearly developed into an all-out team brawl, and the Avalanche wound up getting a power play out of all this after order was finally restored by the referees. However, the Avs struggled to set up their plays, couldn't release any shots and were unable to capitalize on the opportunity.
The Canucks began the final frame skating with fire. They brought a relentless surge of pressure onto the Avs' side of the ice, and after passing the puck around the zone and launching multiple shots, the puck deflected off the glass and right to Vancouver forward Mason Raymond who promptly slapped it into the net to extend the lead to 2-0.
Then, with six minutes left in the game, the Avs' offense finally scored on Luongo; bringing a wave of pressure on a good offensive shift, Stastny — who was positioned in front of the net — took a tight pass from Matt Duchene and back-handed the puck past Luongo to score. Although the refs at first ruled that Luongo had made yet another brilliant save and that it was not a goal, the ruling on the ice was overturned and Stastny scored his 300th career point to cut the Canucks lead down to one.
In the closing minutes of the game the Pepsi Center crowd was holding its breath as they watched their desperate Avs skate with determined rage and attack the Canuck zone with incessant fury. The Avs had the opportunities, but they were out dueled by Luongo and when the last second ticked off the clock a disappointed Avalanche team left the ice to mourn a tough loss.
"I'm disappointed because we missed two quality chances at the end," said Stastny after the game. "We had chances to tie it and just couldn't do it."
Perhaps the most disappointing aspect of the loss for the Avs was the missed opportunities in which they had good chances to score but couldn't connect with each other or with the net. However, their inability to hit the net was also due to Luongo — the game's indisputable first star — looking like an impenetrable brick wall as he made one difficult save after another throughout the game.
"[Luongo] played a good game," said Stastny. "He played his angles well…and he did a good job of controlling his rebounds; whether we shot it at his chest or whether he came out to play a good angle, it was tough to see net when he challenged us."
Luongo made 31 saves and in the final few minutes withstood a massive Avs attack by making a series of beautiful saves to protect the lead and seal the victory.
"You know they're going to shoot from everywhere and that they're going to have guys crowding the net," said Luongo of the last minute Avalanche rush. "You just want to seal the ice as much as you can and make sure you're not giving anything down low or anything moving through…and we did a good job of not making mistakes and not letting them get any rebounds."

I hate celebrating my birthday.
There is really no place like home.
She is in college right now and living in a small unit near her school. This place is too small for five people, too crowded for four people, and too spacious for three people. Its outside has one canteen and two laundry shops. There are also small stores, fast food chains, grocery stores, coffee and tea shops near by. This place is most likely safe because of its friendly guards by the gate. She said that this place is "almost" like home as she emphasized the word, almost.
Why? Because there is really no place like home, her real home.
She can't stay there for a long time. Even though she didn't cried in her first day there, it doesn't mean that she's not missing home, that she cannot feel homesickness. It's just that before she made the decision of going to college far away from home, she set in her mind that a lot of things will be different, her environment will be different. she just readied herself.
It's too hard to leave the place where you grown up. Especially your home where your family and friends lives. She's living in her unit for almost one and half years and she can honestly say that she's not still used in living there. When she's there, she wants to get her suitcases and packed her clothes, she wants to grab a box where all of her books will fit and she wants all of her stuffs to be back in her bedroom. She want to go to her home, her real home!
However, as she thinking to all of this, she still ended up on standing up and saying to herself that "Hey! I need to be strong! I am here because I want and need to learn! This is for my career, for my family, FOR MYSELF!"
And so she guess that her mind is right and so her heart. She chose this because she love herself. She want to explore and the only way to do it is to be far away from home.
In the end, there is still no place like home but you need to think that you are doing a sacrifice for yourself.

For all of the latest updates on the Red Storm softball team, follow the team on Twitter at @STJ_Softball and stay tuned to RedStormSports.com
Hey Red Storm Golf Fans,
I am sure you have all been following the Ryder Cup action today, just as we have. It's been quite an exciting day, and an even better day for Keegan Bradley! We are currently in New Haven, Connecticut for the McDonald Cup, hosted by Yale. Our practice round was rained out today, giving us an opportunity to watch the coverage all day.
We were all in awe of Keegan's play today and were glued to the TV all day. Our team has been hard at work the past couple weeks getting ready for the tournament this weekend. Dylan [Crowley], Jeremy [Quinn], Ryan [Gay] and Mitch [Hadfield] competed in team qualifying to see who would play this weekend at the McDonald Cup. After a tough four rounds, Jeremy, Mitch and Ryan advanced through qualifying to compete this weekend. Dylan has traveled up with us and will serve as Assistant Coach on the course to help us out.
On a side note, I was fortunate enough on Thursday to be honored by the Monmouth County Freeholders at the Hall of Records in Freehold, NJ. I was recognized for my play this summer and they named September 27th, Ryan McCormick Day. It is quite an honor to have a day named after me! It feels almost like I have another birthday now! However, I am not the first person on our team to have a day named after me. On August 1st in Maine, it is officially Ryan Gay day.
Keegan has inspired us to play well tomorrow and we are excited to get out there. We are slated to start at 11 a.m. tomorrow, as they have cut 18 holes out of the tournament because of all the rain. The last time this happened at the McDonald Cup was two years ago, when we won the the tournament and took home the McDonald Cup. Lets hope that history repeats itself! Thank you all for your tremendous support of our program. Let's go USA!
Ryan McCormick '14

(x-posted at IndieFaith)
Here is a review I wrote of what I think is a very significant book for the church. If you decide to read the whole thing keep in mind your own theology and practice of communion.
William T. Cavanaugh's Being Consumed: Economics and Christian Desire is an excellent example of why the church needs theologians, good theologians. While Christian authors are turning increasingly to social and economic issues few are able to blend accessible language with substantial theological content. Many of the current authors addressing these issues articulate the demands of the Gospel in functional terms. Writers (and readers) look for practical ways to 'apply' the Gospel to our context. Most of us though with even a passing interest know what we should be doing to help our situation. We should buy fair trade products, support local economies and agriculture, plant a garden, compost, bike, buy twirlly bulbs, etc. And so much of the work of these authors is lost because their argument led entirely to doing and once we get there we realized we already knew that and so begin to feel frustrated or guilty.
Cavanaugh, while in no way neglecting what we would be doing, takes the theological and economic realities of being and of desire seriously. In the brief 100 pages of this book Cavanaugh addresses the issue of economics and Christian desire in four related areas. He begins first with examining our current economic market system, the so-called free market. Cavanaugh is not concerned with whether this system is good or bad in itself he limits himself to asking the question: When is a market free? The market is classically understood as free when employers, employees and consumers are not coerced in their choices. The system is regulated inherently by the demands of the consumer. The market is then considered free when individuals can pursue what they want without coercion within that system. Cavanaugh states that this view defines freedom negatively and carries no vision of its own telos (goal, end, purpose). In the absence of these things Cavanaugh compares the 'free' relationship between consumer and corporation to a poker game where you are free to play but your opponent has already seen your hand and knows your compulsion to play. So while the market is indeed based on our wants and desires and though that can provide some regulations Cavanaugh does not assume that our wants are really what we want. Leaning on the work of St. Augustine Cavanaugh introduces a positive notion of freedom which is not freedom to do anything but the freedom from everything towards God. In fact the current market promises of limitless freedoms turn out in fact to be an illusion and in the end unfreedom, restricting environmental health, fair wages, local diversity, etc. A market is free then to the extent that dignified relationships are nurtured with each other, with the land and its resources and ultimately with God which is the telos of human existence.
The second chapter challenges the notion that much of our trouble comes from greed or our attachment to things. Cavanaugh suggests that the issue is actually a profound sense of detachment. Most of us do not hoard we discard. We move quickly from one act of consumption to another. Our culture emphasizes not acquiring but shopping. We are detached from the site of production which has moved from the home, to factories, to across the ocean. Even much of the work we do is no longer related to the act of production or creation. We are therefore detached from the producers who make the products we purchase. Though we hear some stories of the work conditions of factories overseas we are not intimately connected to the particular conditions of we ourselves buy. Even companies themselves are detached as they contract out the work of production and focus on building the image that they can sell. And finally we are detached from the products themselves. We quickly discard the toy in fast-food kid's meal that was likely made under questionable conditions overseas. Companies of course support our detachment because if we actually valued something we bought it may be longer before we buy the next version of it. Cavanaugh suggests that we are in fact not too 'materialistic' but that we are in fact to perversely 'spiritual'. We are caught up in image and status so we hope that our purchases will take on a mythic quality, though the material thing itself will never satisfy. Into this cycle of endless consuming Cavanaugh introduces the Eucharist as relationship in which we consume but end up being consumed. Rather than the body of Jesus becoming just another commodity we are the ones consumed into the body of Christ. "Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them. (John 6:56). The body of Christ is the place of abundance and unity. It is this Eucharistic reality that restores us from our detachment and brings us into right relationship.
Chapter three explores the relationship between globalization and local expressions. These expressions are argued to be the different sides of the same coin. With the rise of multinational corporations the globe has become a single marketplace in which the cheapest labor is purchased in throughout which homogenous products are offered. Along side of this we witness the celebration of diversity and multiculturalism. There are increased attempts to preserve local expressions. This however, has simply fed into the global economic model where diversity is understood as a consumer choice as opposed to offering some sort of substantial expression apart from economics. In this model we become a pure consumer, a tourist, where even locations are consumed. It is again the body of Christ and the Eucharist that Cavanaugh evokes to respond to this situation. It is the incarnation of Christ, that is always local and particular, that bridges local expression and universal truth. In consuming the body of Christ in the Eucharist and becoming the body then we too allow ourselves to be consumed. "To consume the Eucharist is an act of anticonsumption, for here to consume is to be consumed, to be taken up into participation in something larger then the self, yet in a way in which the identity of the self is paradoxically secured" (84). Here the local is not overcome by the global but participates in it.
The final chapter names the current market system and the body of Christ as representing two economies. Our current market system is based on the assumption of scarcity. In this market we are formed as beings of endless desire and hunger to consume. We live always with the threat that there will not be enough to meet these hungers. Consumption is also the answer to the threat of scarcity, consume more so that there will be more. There is again a type of perverse theology at work here that hopes for the multiplying of loaves and fishes (93). The economy of the Eucharist is one of abundance. We become part of the sustaining life of God and not only that but we are united intimately with our neighbour. They are no longer an 'other' to be addressed but they are a part of our very body. This is the economy of the Kingdom and it is the calling of the church.
This book challenges to revisit the relevance and role of communion in our theology and church practice. In his account it is around this faithful expression from which the abundant economy of God emerges. The question becomes whether our own theology and practice allows the same sort of critique and response. Cavanaugh has offered us a rigorously theological account of contemporary economics. He has responded not with finding out what we can do but in understanding what we are when we enter into the body of Christ. It is perhaps this reality rather than a strategy for action that we must begin to take more seriously. This means having our desires consumed in the abundance of Christ rather than having our desires war with each other to consume what cannot satisfy.
If you found this post interesting, you might like to read these posts as well:
I agree heartily with the last sentence. If we look toward consuming items or services to placate a true desire to be with God we are missing the mark.
But I disagree with the notion that free markets are not really free and that they need, uh, unfreedom to be truely free. That's some Stalin-like newspeak if I ever saw it.
I also agree with the idea that we don't hoard, we discard. I think we do both but I also think that if I read the book I'd understand this better. We live in an era when it is cheaper and more staisfying to buy something new than to repair the old. Buying the new thing and discarding the old seems to make us feel some twinge of happiness.
I've often said, and I truely believe it, that we are not a happy society, we are an amused society.
The "happiness" that we feel when going to the movies or buying a new pair of shoes or going to a theme park, watching TV………this is not happiness, it is temporary and therefore amusement.
The thing is that we can afford to amuse ourselves constantly. So our lives have gone from seeking happiness and fulfillment to seeking amusement. Why work on your marriage, or relationships, or something wrong you've done when you can lay down twenty bucks and go to Fridays?
Thanks for the feedback but I think there was a misunderstanding in how I accounted for Cavanaugh's notion of a 'free' market. I abbreviated his argument to the point of losing some of the nuance. C advocates for a 'free' market which is still based on capital and private property he just doesn't assume that the current expression is as 'free' as it is claimed to be.
The 'unfreedom' that I referred to is the common result of the current market system. Infinite promises are made on behalf products and yet the result is poor labour wage, increased homogeneous expressions, and detachment from people and products. And ultimately dissatisfaction.
"Infinite promises are made on behalf products and yet the result is poor labour wage, increased homogeneous expressions, and detachment from people and products. And ultimately dissatisfaction."
I agree with all of this except for "poor labor wage". No doubt, some products are made by very, very poor people. But where capitalism exists the poor are often at least fed; where comsumerism is void the poor starve and die.
The "poor labor wage", if this be the case, is actually wealth to those with an empty belly.
"But where capitalism exists the poor are often at least fed; where comsumerism is void the poor starve and die."
Actually, I think any objective look at economic history and modern sociology would show that the exact opposite is actually true.
I thought the description of the ephemeral nature of the supposed freedoms of the "free market" was brilliant.
Pure laissez-faire capitalism creates an illusion of freedom while in reality it just disguises oppression by the wealthy as freedom.
I claim no authority on the status of overseas factory employment. It would be impossible to characterize it all the same way. The point C was making is that the situation is hardly 'free' when cooperations can shop around globally for the cheapest labour while the labourer's themselves have little freedom within the relationship.
[…] Cavanaugh argues in Being Consumed that consumerism is not actually an attachment to things. On the surface it appears that the […]

Comment: Re:The only good thing (Score 1) 511
You're still not approaching it from the RISK MITIGATION angle, which is the only thing that matters in this discussion.
Really? The only thing? Well, I'm glad you're hear to hand down some more 'sensibleness' like that.
To continue to argue against this point is to say people should take drugs if the statistics say it's mostly harmless.
Where have I said that? This is the second time you have made that assertion of me and I state, again, that I am not making a recommendation either for or against. I am pointing out the fallacies that you cling to. If an activity of any sort is misunderstood, misrepresented or poorly researched then you cannot make an informed decision about it. You are poorly informed. Clearly you find me saying that offensive.
Let me be plain. I do not think people _should_ do anything. I think that it is reasonable to let people make their own decisions and to assist them in making the best decisions by making sure they have accurate information and are capable of informed consent. That includes driving in traffic, using caffeine, taking antibiotics or using recreational drugs.
They test the materials for their tolerances. Then they build as far away from the thresholds as is physically and financially and ethically/legally possible.
So you are saying that first they thoroughly understand the materials they are working with, research the matter and then decide whether something is too risky to proceed, or whether it is safe enough? That sounds sensible. Why do you object so much when I suggest that this might be a good model for assessing drug use?
In the case of recreational drugs, NOT DOING IT is a completely REASONABLE decision regardless of the statistics because it DOESN'T COST YOU ANYTHING.
Friend, you drink tea. Therefore you use a recreational drug (caffeine). It has very few side effects and most people can use it sensibly and without addiction. A few do not. Clearly you have made the cost/benefit and risk/reward analysis and decided that, for you, tea is an acceptable recreational drug. In fact, you probably don't even consider it a drug because it is so socially acceptable and you are clearly incapable of objectivity (on this matter at least).
Fearmongering is not reasonable, no matter how you capitalise it. You have seen some examples of people who have used drugs and who have had their lives 'ruined'. You have chosen to blame drugs, even though most evidence shows that people who do struggle with drug addiction do so because they have deeper problems in their lives. By blaming the drug and asserting that "NOT DOING IT" "DOESN"T COST YOU ANYTHING" you get to ignore whether they are struggling with mental illnesses, whether their lives are so bleak and hollow that the temporary respite of narcotics is worth the escape, regardless of the price. You get to sit in lofty judgement and continue to deliver your homilies on how easy choosing not to use is. You refuse to accept the possibility that you may be wrong on a topic that you continue to demonstrate you have next to no experience in or with, and yet cling to your ignorance as a defence against having to consider that life might not be so black and white as you'd like.
Fucking hell drug users have the most inane justifications for their failures.
And you have the most self-righteous justification for your success. I get that you worked hard to get where you are, and I truly am happy that your life is going well. Being the child of poor migrants cannot have been easy, and it is to your credit that you have succeeded as well as you have. But hard work alone is not enough. Whether you realise it or not, your success is also dependent on a large number of factors over which you had no control. I know many people who have worked hard and continue to work hard who have not had your success. Difficult as your life may have been, others face greater difficulties. Perhaps they aren't as smart as you, perhaps they didn't have access to the education that you had. It sounds like your parents encouraged and taught you the value of saving and working hard. Not everyone has parents that can or will do that. Some have parents that abused them. Some have worked hard and then had chance take that from them. An accident. An illness.
By seeing drug abuse (not drug use - you continue to conflate the two) as the _cause_ of the problem and not a symptom, you get to maintain your moral superiority and to assert that their problems would go away if they just didn't take drugs. How simple. Why don't they just do it? Other people have tried to tell you how smug, self-congratulatory and unsympathetic that sounds. I'll go further. Your position is childish, selfish and ill-educated. Grow up. Seriously.
Teaching kids to not do something that is ENTIRELY VOLUNTARY is not "incomplete" or "incorrect".
Teaching them that 10% of drug users ruin their lives is. That's a statistic you just made up. Go on, back it up. Educate yourself. Try and find some real statistics on drug use vs drug abuse.
You realise that alcohol is a drug, right? That in small doses it is pleasant and even has some positive health benefits. Too much, too often and it is harmful. Dependency is harmful and addiction is harmful. It is responsible to teach people the facts and then to assist them in making informed decisions. You have chosen not to drink alcohol. That's your decision - but it's not the only 'correct' decision. Banning alcohol didn't work in the US. In fact, it caused more problems than it solved. Countries like Portugal have legalised and decriminalised a number of drugs and have seen a drop in usage as well as the associated problems of creating a black market for drugs (like crime).
Prohibition, scare tactics, misinformation and teaching people to 'just say no' have been shown again and again not to work. Accurate information, support for people who are struggling with substance abuse and a destigmatisation including decriminalisation have been shown to be far more effective.
Most people can handle caffeine. Most people can handle alcohol. Most people can handle a wide range of substances because their lives are generally good. The people who struggle with dependence and addiction do so not (entirely) because of the substance but because of the other factors in their lives.
I do not advocate taking drugs. I advocate making an informed choice based on accurate information. In all things. Like whether I drink tea or not, whether I drive in heavy traffic or not, whether a cider or two at the end of the week is acceptable or not.
I've seen people ruin their lives with alcohol. I've seen people ruin their lives with gambling. I've seen people ruin their lives chasing sex. Addiction and addictive behaviours are destructive. Alcohol isn't. Gambling isn't. Sex isn't.
Driving is "ENTIRELY VOLUNTARY" and has a higher death rate, per year, than all illegal drugs combined, so clearly teaching kids to "NOT DO IT" is entirely "REASONABLE" and "DOESN'T COST YOU ANYTHING". I mean, that's "RISK MITIGATION" and teaching anything else is "BULLSHIT" reasoning. Or, perhaps, you have made the assessment that given your knowledge of yourself, the benefits of driving outweigh the risks and that you can take steps to minimise or manage the risks that do exist and so driving is a reasonable choice for you to make. Not, perhaps, for someone who doesn't know how to drive (like me), but reasonable for you. Recreational drugs range from those that enhance certain faculties (like focus and attention), mitigate negatives (pain for the opiates, sleep for amphetamines) or provide profound new insights (like hallucinogens). Some are toxic in high doses. Some will rapidly reduce in effect if taken too frequently. Some will impair functions. Some will cause dependence if used to frequently. These are all risks that can be managed and minimised by people who are well informed and acting reasonably. Clearly you have chosen that the benefits do not outweigh the risks. That's perfectly reasonable. What is not reasonable is to insist that there are no benefits to anyone else and to claim that any risk is too much. _Everything_ has a risk of harm associated with it. Standing up (you might fall down), eating food (it might be tainted), breathing (you might catch something). You have an exaggerated estimation of both the risk and the harm of drug use because you fail to distinguish between 'sensible' us and abuse. My attempts to highlight this have been met with hostility and now swearing. We are no longer having a meaningful or useful conversation.
Be well.

The Fayette County Sheriff's office released a sketch of a suspect wanted in a reported rape.
Fayette County deputies spent two days canvassing neighborhoods in Tyrone aftera homeowner reported the incident on Tuesday morning
Numerous officers brought out bloodhounds and used a helicopter to search for the suspect.
The homeowner told the dispatcher a man with dark curly hair walked into her home and assaulted her before 10 a.m.
He was wearing a cap, hooded sweatshirt and jogging style pants.
Deputies are releasing few details at this time, but did say nothing was stolen from the home.
Neighbors identified the victim as a stay-at-home mom in her 40's.
Paula Drive is a cul-de-sac and the incident has made neighbors suspicious.
Investigators are seeking assistance from anyone in the area that may have seen anything suspicious. Call 770-716-4814 with tips.

Symptoms of speed drug addiction can be similar to symptoms caused by use of other stimulant drugs. However, when people are addicted to amphetamines and meth, they will exhibit most, if not all, of the following symptoms of speed drug addiction. The intensity of symptoms may depend upon level and frequency of use. Symptoms and meth effects come on rapidly from first use, and intensify with meth addiction.
If you see a loved one exhibiting these symptoms, please find out what is going on with them before it is too late. As needed, get assistance from an effective drug rehab center, such as Narconon.
Key Symtoms
- Disruption to normal sleeping patterns. All stimulant drugs will disrupt sleeping rhythms, but the meth high, particularly crystal meth, lasts longer and is more intense that other hard drugs such as cocaine. Similarly, when the crash finally happens – depression is deeper, anxiety more intense, and symptoms of physical distress more overwhelming. Lack of sleep due to meth addiction, elevates feelings of stress, leads to increased levels of cortisol in the body, exacerbates paranoia, and can lead to psychotic behavior.
- Loss of appetite. Chronic loss of appetite leads to poor nutrition, increased irritability of the nervous system, hormonal imbalance and premature aging.
- Weight loss – occurs due to lack of food, and increased motor activity. People addicted to amphetamines may appear gaunt, their eyes glassy, staring, with the pupils dilated, sometimes with rapid eye movements.
- Euphoria, uninhibited behavior and aggressiveness can each occur with amphetamines use.
- Increased sex drive and libido. Although paradoxically, using amphetamines can lead to sexual dysfunction, meth effects can include an intense sexual arousal, leading to aggressive or intimidating behavior, and promiscuity.
- Irritability, restlessness, anxiety and panic. Hyperarousal and being in "action" mode can make users trigger happy, miss social cues, create misunderstandings about peoples intentions and motivations, and an inability to concentrate or focus on meaningful tasks and work.
- Confused, disorganized behavior can occur with methamphetamine use, and this can be intensified when users choose to binge on amphetamines, going for days without sleep. Users might speak incoherently, or appear overly enthusiastic and elated about some event or idea or in withdrawal appear overly depressed and morose.
- Hallucinations and convulsions as meth addiction symptoms will indicate that mental function has been impaired by either intense or chronic meth use. Symptoms of schizophrenia have been noted in methamphetamine addicts.
- Meth mouth. The chronic use of meth causes tooth decay, and diseases of the gums. Lips might appear to be cracked and sore, cheeks sunken and hollow, with aging lines etched around the eyes, nose and mouth. Methamphetamine addicts look ill, and haggard in their appearance, this being contributed to by the many toxic chemicals used in the preparation of speed drugs. Article about meth mouth from the California dental Association.
- Skin, muscle and lung damage. The skin, as result of vitamin deficiencies from drug usage, is the site of much damage with chronic meth use. The face can appear blotchy, and pale, and strong chemical odors are emitted from the skin. Users might complain of "meth bugs" which are caused by nerve damage, and lead the meth addict to scratch and pick at the skin, causing lesions and scarring. Wounds remain open leaving users vulnerable to infection. Muscles waste and can become afflicted by tremors and spasms. Convulsions can occur with chronic meth use. Damage to the tissue of the lungs can occur when meth drug is inhaled – this can lead to permanent breathing difficulties and emphysema.
The Facts About Meth
The facts about meth are that as a powerful stimulant drug, and with addictive use, the body simply suffers a physical and mental "burn out" syndrome, and opportunistic infections and diseases are not warded off by a depleted immune system. Both body and mind become exhausted, and with no opportunity for rest and recovery, damage to the body can become permanent and lead to premature death.
The elevation of stress response chemicals in the body is normally a call to action, particularly a physical response. With continued meth use, and no actual threat or danger to actively engage with and so discharge the high levels of "flight or fight" chemicals in the body, the excess of stress related biochemicals disrupts other hormonal regulation, and can lead to auto immune disorders. Methamphetamine use, effectively puts a toxic stress on the body.
The original "pleasure" obtained from using meth, the euphoria, cannot be maintained with long term use because continued methamphetamine effects cause neurotransmitters and nerve cells, that originally activated such feel good chemicals as serotonin and dopamine, to become dysfunctional and permanently lost. The meth user eventually is unable to produce the chemicals needed to feel positive, secure and happy. Depression, stress and fear become a way of life, with the drug user unable to break free of their addiction. Chronic meth addicts eventually have to use meth simply to try and feel "normal". Reference: Meth Effects on the Brain.
Narconon: a Solution to Speed Addiction
People using methamphetamines and anyone observing apparent symptoms of meth addiction in a loved one, can take hope that full recovery from amphetamine use and meth addiction can be achieved – a full return to good health – using the natural, drug-free Narconon alcohol and drug addiction recovery program, offered in Canada by Narconon.
Graduates of the Narconon program testify to having fully recovered from all drug use and drug dependence, including methamphetamines, returning to the community to lead fulfilled and happy lives.
To find out about the qualifications to be able to do the Narconon program, please call 1-877-782-7409.

Kaze no KizuTalk0
this wiki
Kaze no Kizu (風の傷, "Wind Scar") is a special technique and signature attack of the demon sword Tessaiga, currently wielded by Inuyasha.
This attack is accomplished by finding the rift, or scar, between two powerful yōkai auras of Tessaiga's wielder and the opposing demon. Once the rift is found, the wielder of Tessaiga can swing the sword into the rift, releasing a powerful energy wave that has the power to kill 100 yōkai in a single sweep.
Although Inuyasha came into the possession of the Tessaiga, ironically it was actually Sesshōmaru who used the technique first, even though it was his first time using the sword: a testament to his natural intelligence and skill as a swordsman. Not only did Sesshōmaru use it intentionally, but he also knew what it was, likely from observing his father use it.
Inuyasha used the Kaze no Kizu for the first time unintentionally when he was trying to save Miroku so he wouldn't use his Wind Tunnel. When the wielder becomes proficient enough, the Kaze no Kizu surrounds Tessaiga and can be used at will.
Built upon this attack is the more powerful attack called Bakuryūha. Inuyasha first used Bakuryūha while he was fighting Ryūkotsusei, the demon that Inuyasha's father sealed away. Inuyasha, again accidentally, used Bakuryūha when he tried to use Kaze no Kizu. Defeating Ryūkotsusei resulted in Inuyasha's mastering of the Kaze no Kizu and Bakuryūha, thus making Kaze no Kizu usable even without considering the yōkai aura.
The Kaze no Kizu can only be performed if one uses the Tessaiga. The only exceptions are in stealing Tessaiga's power and absorbing it into one's own sword, as with Kanna's Mirror Demon, as well as the demon sword Dakki, which was wielded by a swordsmith named Tōshū.

Unhappy with the state's government, a few rural counties in north Colorado want to secede and become their own state.
UPDATE: A growing number of northeastern Colorado counties will ask their residents in the fall if they want to secede from Colorado and form a 51st state, according to an MSN News report. As many as 10 northeastern Colorado counties could vote to secede and form a 51st state of North Colorado, but the vote would largely be symbolic.
Previous story:
TRUE: Though proponents face a long and difficult road
Leaders from a few rural counties in north Colorado say they're fed up with their home state and have started looking into the process of secession, which would effectively make them the 51st state, reports The Denver Post and others. The plan was first hatched last month during a Colorado Counties Inc. conference, reports the Post.
Weld County Commissioner Doug Rademacher tells MSN News that the plan came about because of frustration with the Legislature and the governor's office, both of which are controlled by Democrats. Like Weld, the counties looking into secession are all rural and have become upset, Rademacher says, at attempts to further curb Second Amendment rights, along with what he and others see as high taxes on the lucrative fracking and oil industries.
"Frankly, they can't afford to let us go," Rademacher says of Colorado. "The state has balanced its budget off of Weld County and our energy money."
Rademacher admits that he and his fellow proponents have a long road ahead of them. Successful secession depends on a ballot initiative, then votes from the Colorado General Assembly and Congress, both of which are likely unwilling to further dilute their legislative powers.

Game Recap: Cubs 7, Cardinals 3 - Everything Happens
Back to that Friday-written Series Preview. I wrote:
if Lohse had to exit even earlier on Sunday, and if Wainwright stayed
in too long on Sunday night and gave up bundles of runs in the 7th or
Phase Two: Complete.
Granted, the Cubs didn't chase Lohse particularly early, but the Cardinals were forced to turn to three relievers to get through the final 4 innings of today's game. That puts them at having used 5 relievers in the past 2 days. Chances are they will recycle a few for tonight's game, but the Cubs only need to take Wainwright for rides early and often or exploit him in the late innings to pretty much accomplish everything we could've hoped for.
This afternoon's win came from the arm of Carlos Zambrano -- who had one rocky inning and was otherwise on his game -- and also from his bat, along with Micah Hoffpauir's. The Hoff gave the Cubs an early lead with a 3-run, 1st inning homer and Carlos put them ahead for good in the 4th with his solo shot. By the time the Cardinals' defense collapsed and the Cubs tacked on 3 more in the 7th it was already over.
So, points to the Cubs who kept Lee and Ramirez in reserve for tonight's game, and who are now on track to get back into the race for the division in epic fashion.
Everything happens. Maybe even a few Cubs surprises.
