What We Know About Pope Benedict's Resignation
In stunning news, Pope Benedict XVI announced Monday morning from the Vatican that he will resign his position as head of the Catholic Church, effective on February 28. This has already set off a flurry of speculation, largely because no pope has voluntarily done so since the year 1415.
The news is still coming in, but here's what we know so far:

Good afternoon, everyone...
This week I go for my point shooting class. Except for a few rounds here and there, I've never really practiced this. Any tips or suggestions that you can offer?

There's a "Point Shooting Class" down here??
Where? I gotta sign up.
Us point shooters are regarded as untouchables () in the FTF Shooting caste system of social stratification.
Maybe taking this class (no pun intended) will elevate me to "Slumdog Millionaire" status.
Just one...start with a .22, or better yet a CO2 powered Airsoft pistol it's a LOT cheaper than a 9mm or above. If you're in an area where you can shoot after dark, that's great.....easier to not cheat using a pistol w/o night sights.
There was a recent report put out I saw on PoliceOne.com or Officer.com (can't remember which) researchers found that most LEOs involved in shootings didn't use their sights at distances closer than 15 yards, regardless of lighting. From 15 yards and further all of them used their sights.
best thing is lots of 22lr trigger time mixing in centerfire to keep you hand in. im not sure one can be "taught" to point shoot since thats just another term for instinctive shooting. how can you be taught an instinct??
you need to develop muscle memmory and the only way to do that is by LOTS of shooting.
i think you are better off investing the money in some ammo. or investing it a class you get taught real pistol technique as in sight alignmet grip trigger squeeze.
the more practice you get the faster you get.

These temporary structures were eventually replaced by wooden buildings, most of which burned in the Great Sonora Fire of 1854. The town was then quickly rebuilt, largely with brick.
Many historic buildings from those times remain. The Gunn House, now a hotel, was once the office of the Sonora Herald newspaper, established in 1854. A few blocks west of Washington Street on Bradford sits what was once the county jail, now a museum, with a few jail cells still intact. A tiny park near the museum has early gold mining equipment—an arastra, a stamping machine, and a Pelton water wheel.
A block west of Washington Street is the Tuolumne County Courthouse, built in 1898 of distinctive yellow pressed brick. It is still used today.
At the north end of the street is the well-known Red Church, built in 1860. Across the street is the Morgan Mansion. The Fire Museum includes a small park with a hand fire cart.
Sonora has many places to eat, from coffee houses to formal restaurants offering Mexican (of course), Chinese, Thai, pasta and Italian, and Barbecue and steak.
Informal places include sandwich shops, including bagel sandwiches, hot dogs, pizza, and light fare at various coffee houses, and ice cream. One sandwich & ice cream store has a historic saloon bar and the downstairs bookstore has the look of an underground quartz mine.
There is also shopping, with gift shops and antique stores carrying many unusual items.
What's New:
A sandwich and ice cream store, the Sonora Creamery, has moved from East Sonora to the south end of Washington Street in downtown Sonora.
It was originally known as Sonorian Camp, and miners from Chile, Peru, Argentina, France, and other countries came as well as Mexicans. The Mexicans and South Americans, unlike the Americans, brought their women. Later women from France and elsewhere, hearing of the large population of women, came here too.
Weekends in Sonora were a wild scene, as miners from camps all around came to town for supplies and recreation. There was much gambling, drinking with the most expensive spirits, bull fights, even fights between bulls and Grizzly bears. Many costly items were on sale that miners could pay for with the gold they had recovered with only a few hours of work.
In late 1849 a town government was established with the name of Sonora, with a Town Council who were Americans but sympathetic to the foreigners. The town organization allowed the construction of a hospital, needed because large numbers of the Mexican miners were suffering from scurvy. The population was about 5,000.
In June 1850 the new California legislature's ill-conceived Foreign Miners Tax took effect, levying a $20 per month tax on all foreign miners, far beyond the ability of the average miner to pay. Overnight the population of the town decreased by four fifths. The town became dangerous, with many people attacked in their tents while sleeping or on the roads, by marauders who were thought to be Mexicans.
Sonora's town leaders hired a well-known attorney to challenge the law as unconstitutional, but this was unsuccessful. Eventually, however, the tax was repealed, then later followed by a tax at a much lower rate.
After the placer gold from the streams was mostly played out, Sonora continued as a gold-mining region because of its substantial underground "pocket" mines, in which highly concentrated gold could be found in the quartz. This was before the technology existed to extract gold from low-grade quartz and gold rock. Sonora's pocket mines and its status as the county seat and business center of the Southern Mines allowed it to survive while many other mining camps became ghost towns.

Lately, I really struggle with the question; why do liberals want to spend my money (for me)? Come with me as we search for the answer to this question together.
… Hey, wait a minute. I might be on to something. Heaven on Earth. That's it! Heaven on Earth. Liberals want to make Heaven on Earth. Hurray! We're going to have Heaven on Earth.
… What? Are you kidding me? I'm a little embarrassed to continue. "What a cheap ass". Oops. Sorry, did I say that out loud? Strike that from the record and I'll try to compose myself as we move on.
… Do liberals want to rewrite the Bible? Some claim that they want to rewrite the U.S. Constitution. I'm not so sure about that. I think liberals just want to ignore the Constitution. It would be way too much work to rewrite the whole thing. Maybe, liberals just want to ignore the Bible. I don't know.
…Guilt. Why do liberals (and progressives) feel so guilty? What did they do?

The Next Best Thing: A Novel by Jennifer Weiner
Buy Book | Kindle
Weekend Edition: 'Best Thing' Would be Equality
Jennifer Weiner writes what is often referred to as women's fiction. But that term is imperfect for a lot of reasons. And so, we'll just refer to her as the author of multiple best-sellers. Weiner's written a bunch of hits, like "Good in Bed," and "In Her Shoes," which became a hit movie starring Cameron Diaz. She also created and ran the ABC Family television series "State of Georgia." In her free time, she live tweets the "Bachelorette." Her latest novel, "The Next Best Thing," draws on her TV experience. It's about a young woman who moves to L.A. and creates her own sitcom - with mixed results.

Michelle Obama's Dress for Less
Michelle Obama chose a dress by White House/Black Market for her appearance on The View. Her brand choice leaves us wondering: Is the potential first lady to-be making more than just a fashion statement?
Check out these looks for less that we found available at other stores!
The original dress Michelle wore, from White House/Black Market $148. You can try to get it, but it's currently sold out.
On sale for $69.99, this version from JC Penney looks so much like the original!
|At $47.99, this dress from Sears is another great option.
If you want a little more coverage, this dress from Chadwick's will do the trick. $49.99.
Add a little color with this version from Chadwick's. Super cute. $34.99.
With an empire waist and deep V, this dress from Newport News is totally flattering. $59.00.
Let me start by saying all these dresses here are really great summer dresses. Black and white is always so crisp and definitely will have people looking your way. Next, let me say that I love this lady…despite all the negative press, she comes across as a very down to earth person. That has always been one of things that endeared Laura Bush to my family. Perhaps the presumptive First Lady can be more open about the fact that women in this country don't have to buy $400 purses and Jimmy Cho shoes to look and feel good. With the economy being what it is, now is the time for everyone to practice a bit of frugality and save for a rainy day. Because if oil prices and the cost of food keep rising it could very well be pouring before the end of 2008.
I watched The View the day Michelle Obama appeared. This dress kept her poise and prestige look but also gave her a little summer-dress flare. I also think that this is a good dress for women of color. A good investment for this season!
An impressive share, I simply given this onto a colleague who was doing somewhat analysis on this. And he in reality bought me breakfast as a result of I discovered it for him.. smile. So let me reword that: Thnx for the deal with! However yeah Thnkx for spending the time to discuss this, I really feel strongly about it and love reading extra on this topic. If attainable, as you turn into experience, would you mind updating your weblog with more particulars? It's highly useful for me. Big thumb up for this weblog publish!

CONOVER, N.C. – Tina Yang was disappointed the rest of her California Baptist University teammates would not be accompanying her to the NCAA Division II Championships. Yang used the opportunity to represent the Lancers well, however, as she stands as the overall leader through one round of the championship.
After a pair of sixth-place finishes at the PacWest and Division II Super West Regional, Yang has her eye on more. She carded a one-under-par 70 at the Rock Barn Golf & Spa Wednesday to lead the field of 72 individuals at the championship tournament hosted by Lenoir-Rhyne.
It was Yang's putter and irons that led to her posting the only under-par round on the first of the four-round, 72-hole tournament.
"Tina played great today," head coach John Hackney said, "she literally had one bad shot all day today and she putted like a [Ladies Professional Golf Association] player out there.
"Our concentration today was speed on the greens and her gauge was exceptional. She had complete control of the ball with her putter."
It was one of those rare displays of brilliance, said Hackney, who has more than 16 years of experience coaching at the collegiate level.
"It was the most fun I've ever had watching one of my college golfers play," Hackney said. "I'd say it's the best round I've seen from one of my female golfers ever."
Yang hit 13 fairways and 12 of 18 greens on the day, while finishing off half of the holes with one putts and recording six birdies. She played the front nine one under after birdies at holes No. 1 and 9 and a bogey at five.
The back nine started out as a bit of a rollercoaster ride for Yang, who never lost her composure to finish her round in strong form. A birdie at 10 appeared to give her a strong start on the back before she carded a double bogey at 11 to put her even on the day. Unfazed, Yang responded with a par and pair of birdies at 12, 13 and 14, respectively, to move back to two-under.
Another double at 15 put her on level footing again before a birdie at 16 put her back under par, which is where she finished the day after she closed it out with two pars.
Both doubles came with a bit of bad luck. The double at 11 came due to the hilly golf course, as she laid up her approach shot right at the pin, saw it bounce and then watched it roll down the hill and off the green. She chumped her chip back onto the green, as it rolled just about five feet for what Hackney called "her one bad shot of the day." Yang responded with a key putt to limit the damage with a double.
On 15, Yang got a ball stuck in a divot and had her ensuing shot go in the water. Still, she had no problem coming back from a tough bounce or two Wednesday.
"Whenever she made a double she would come right back with a birdie or two," Hackney said. "Her bounce back was awesome. She's confident, she's played in a number of big tournaments and she knows there's no pressure, it's just her and the golf course."
Yang also got a little help in leading the field, as she sat in second when she came off the course after Rollins' Halley Leadbetter was four-under par with three holes to go. Leadbetter stumbled on her way back into the clubhouse to finish even 71 to end the round.
There is a six-way tie for third place, with Lynn's Jessica Bradley and Louise Manalo, St. Leo's Marie Coors, Haley Haught of St. Edward's and Michelle Schambs and Bethany Darrough of Findlay and Central Oklahoma sitting all turning in one-over 72s Wednesday.
"It was a good start, it's what we wanted," Hackney said. "She just had one of those days. You're not going to have one of those days all the time, but she executed our game plan coming into today."
With rain in Conover's Thursday weather forecast, Yang is scheduled to tee off with the leaders in the last grouping at 10:20 a.m. EDT.

What are the short, medium and long term implications of taking action in Lybia?
The 'no fly zone' over Libya and subsequent strategic bombings have raised many questions relating to the short, medium and long term implications of taking action. I think we all agree that a peaceful outcome is what is needed, but how can this be achieved when we have effectively taken sides with those uprising against Gadaffi. I understand that action had to be taken, but how can we now bring the crisis to a peaceful end?

Mar 23 2011: All I can say is that the Arab Revolution had to happen exactly at this moment, and I think its going to get worse before it gets better. We can talk and argue and counter-argue about the current state of the Arab wars until we are blue in the face, and as much as it does make sense to some and its complete lunacy to other, it will end, eventually,in whatever shape or form. We must also try and remember that GOOD will triumph over EVIL, ALWAYS!!! As with slavery and Apartheid here, this too shall end, the sad fact is that people are dying, innocent women and children who never asked for all of this are finding themselves in the centre of it all. Having said that, the World cant bury their heads in the sand and hope this to go away on its own. Good men and. women have to stand up and intervene and try and save as many lives as possible.

Mixing business and pleasure with this melodrama based on Poe's The Raven, written a year before Pierrot lunaire.

Elsa Bienenfeld Stands Alone
Whenever I return to my research on Schoenberg's Pierrot lunaire, I find myself fascinated with Elsa Bienenfeld. Her reviews of Pierrot and other modernist works reveal an amazing insight into contemporary music.
Dr. Elsa Bienenfeld (1877-1942) studied musicology with Guido Adler and composition with Robert Fuchs, Alexander von Zemlinsky, and Arnold Schoenberg. In 1903, she became the first woman to complete the Ph. D. in musicology when the faculty of the University of Vienna accepted her dissertation, "W. Schmeltzl und sein Liederbuch (1544)."
She must have been a formidable presence. In their correspondence, Schoenberg writes in a voice he reserved for peers. Even her stagey placement in the photograph of a musicology conference (she is the fabulously-hatted woman in the second row, far right) suggests a certain deference.
After the Anschluß she was deported from Vienna, the city of her birth, and executed in the concentration camp Klein Trostinetz, near Minsk.
I'm happy to learn that others are taking stock of Bienenfeld's work, and I enjoyed reading this informative thesis by Kelsey Draper.

LAS VEGAS -- A bullying video that has gone viral with more than 50,000 page views with juveniles attacking a reportedly special needs boy is sparking outrage with parents.
Parent Tawanna Henderson is a parent of Roy Middle School eighth grader and said the video could open a Pandora's Box for more aggressive behavior from teenagers.
"It's getting really bad and soon it's going to get to a point where these kids are going to start loosing their lives behind this stuff and that's what we don't need," Henderson said.
8 News Now obtained an exclusive interview with one of the boys who admits he's in the video. The juvenile said the attack was in self defense with the victim starting the altercation.
"He started it over here behind my house and they just caught the end of it on video," said the boy.
The bullying attack was recorded on an IPad and posted on the internet for thousands to see. Fifteen-year old Nadia Cantu said technology and social media has made it easier for bullies to target their victims.
"I think people should be cognizant as to what they are saying and just think about how that's going to affect the other person," Cantu said.
Cantu said she combats bullies by building self confidence and training in mixed martial arts under the direction of Keebo Robinson.
Robinson is the founder of the Fight Foundation, a non profit organization helping kids deal with bullying.
"It's one thing when you're face to face with some people, but now as it becomes a social epidemic where it's not one on one anymore," Robinson said. "it becomes two on one and three on one, and a hundred against one, and a thousand against one and those are pretty outstanding odds."
Robinson said teaching confidence is one thing, but parents also need to be involved in their kid's lives.
One of the mothers, who claims she's the parent of one of the boys in the video, posted on our Facebook page.
"I'm so sorry that this was posted and sorrier for the hurt that was caused to the boy in the video. There is no reason for that kind of behavior; my son will be punished for his actions."
The Fight Foundation holds monthly events and other workshops for kids to learn ways to deal with bullying.

I stayed at The Ballard House Inn while on business. I stay in hotels and felt i needed a night of homey comfort. I received more than what I expected. My hosts Lynn and Brian made me feel like this was my home. The accommodations were very clean and very nice and tastefully decorated - I felt at home. In the morning Lynn and Brian prepared a very delicious two-course breakfast. It was a definite departure from the typical hotel and certainly a bed and breakfast that is worth going back to!

Brian and Lynn made us feel right at home, a very nice couple, who go above and beyond to provide extras not found at other B&B's.

Traffic was particularly noisy and we are not used to a soft bed. Wonderful dinner recommendation, very helpful with our continued travels.

This was a quaint bed and breakfast. The entire facility was clean and inviting. Brian and Lynn were very nice and offered good suggestions for local attractions. The breakfasts were fantastic! Will recommend to friends and family.

Lynn and Brian exude hospitality -- they are charming, witty, caring and attentive. The House itself is a history lesson you can sleep in -- with a view that alone is worth the price of admission. Everything was immaculate -- obviously the result of a great attention to detail. Snacks and drinks are ever-present, and the breakfast was wonderful and relaxed --and I noticed that they cater to all of their guests 21st century dietary requirements. Let them direct you to nearby Rattlesnake Mountain. A 20-30 minute hike will give you a view that just may make you decide to settle down in New Hampshire.

Country inn with spectacular view and cozy sitting rooms
5 on August 25, 2014
This was our first Bed and Breakfast - I may never stay at at hotel again! The 1783 Inn was gorgeous - 12" floor planks upstairs - beautiful details! All of the rooms - our suite and all the common rooms were immaculate! The porches were so restful - the lemon blueberry bundt cake, vegetarian lasagna for breakfast (filling and delicious) I can't wait to go back!

My husband and I stayed here one night for a wedding. We were pleased with how clean and updated the room was. We were a little early upon arrival but were able to check in early and Brian and Lynn showed us around. We had some time to kill so we enjoyed some complimentary wine and sat out back on the porch swing. It was so peaceful looking at the amazing view. Breakfast was delicious and our hosts were great!! I wish we could have stayed longer!!
4.6 on August 22, 2014
What a fantastic stay! Lynn and Brian are exquisite and entertaining hosts. They provide a clean, comfortable and inviting inn. They take a genuine interest in your vacation. We thoroughly enjoyed our daily chat with them. Breakfast is wonderful! Lynn cooks the savory and Brian the sweet. We had a tasty egg dish with garlic home fries one day and blueberry pancakes with sausage on another day. Newton, the giant golden retriever, is a delight! When we came back in the evening we enjoyed a complimentary glass of wine and homemade cookies. We felt like we were at a relative's home as we ascended the stairs to our suite each night. Can't wait to go back to the see the gorgeous view from the back porch. Highly recommended!

Lynn and Brian are great hosts. Our room was perfect as was our breakfasts for our 2 day stay. We had a beautiful porch which looked down upon the Valley. The complimentary wine wasn't bad either. We had great conversations with fellow guests while we were there. We will certainly visit again.

We know it!!
Your face…
I think i would quit literally go insane if I didn't have the Internet. I guess the hardest lesson on in my life is learning that you can really be alone in life and have no one and that person is me. :(
And the blows just keep on coming!!!
Sometimes you just want to be loved back…. Is that so much to ask for? Am I really that person that gets to be alone forever? Shit!
Ok so I'm not always the best person, I have flaws, I make mistakes, I love people I shouldn't and they don't love me back. But I'm not manipulative and I generally care about people so why isn't it enough? Rather why do I care that it's not enough? It's a lot easier to say you don't care and still have ppl in your life then to say it and still be alone.
I'm mad at her for being like everyone else. I'm mad at him for not caring as much as I did. I'm mad at him for not seeing I needed more. I'm mad at her for changing. I'm mad at him for not noticing how much I love him. I'm mad at her for not being there when I needed her. I'm just mad at the world and in reality I'm supposed to accept that it's my fault and I need.to.take the blame. Well I simply just can't. I'm not perfect but I'm not that flawed either…. I can't accept the wrongs of everyone and myself …. but either way I'm still alone I'm.still.talking to.a computer I'm still unloved unwanted and hurting.
I hope he can learn to forgive me one day. :(
I'm sorry that I hurt you, made you mad, and ruined your night. I do take 100% blame for that. Its something I have to live with everyday of MY life, cuz I miss you and I'm trying not to care about it anymore…. Everything just kept getting worse and worse and no matter what I did I couldn't make it better. It was like the things I wanted to say just didn't come out the way I wanted them too… and it's always been like that with you. I wish more then anything that I didn't care that you don't care (Id literally do anything to get you to forgive me!) but I'm not like that. I guess I just wanted you to know… No I needed you to hear….that I am really am sorry.
I'm human Nick…I got drunk and mad… I didn't try to kill of a race of humans or ……….some other god awful thing…. I fucked up! There are reasons I am like I am though…… There are reasons I do the things I do…. Dumb or smart…. I'm not perfect but at the end of the day who is?
I'm really not as shocked as i used to be when other ppl let me down now days, even if I am the reason they are doing it. (Which Is why I don't like getting close to ppl in the first place) but you were different and interesting and I liked that, so I took a chance. It failed. Ppl come and ppl go….I just hate the fact that I put myself in a position to be let down in the first place …. I try to tell myself I am relieved but relief doesn't feel like a chunk of lead in your gut… that's disappointment. Disappointment in myself, in letting someone like you and Bri down, because It really sucks when the ppl you care about the most don't care about you anymore. I cant think of anyone I hate more then missing you I'm sorry I'm not an easy person to get along with – I guess I am just a fucked up girl looking for her own piece of mind and failing at it everyday. I may not have the prettiest face or the skinniest waste, or be the greatest person, and I KNOW I have an obsession with trying to figure out what everyone is thinking. I have over active tear ducts and I'm so pathetic that the most exciting thing in my world is knowing that someone wants to be my friend (too) and actually gives a shit about me!…… but I have a huge heart and even though everything I try….I fuck up in the end…. I DO TRY. And yet for some reason that doesn't seem to be good enough for people… What can you do when your good just isn't good enough? I tried until I just couldn't try anymore. You don't know what it feels like to be worthless when nothing you do matters- I feel like that everyday!!!
Pleasing ppl is impossible but pissing them off is piece of cake. I should no longer give a fuck… I mean, I do, but fuck. It's hard to find ppl that will like you no matter what and if I have learned anything from this and the idiot I am as a person… its that sometimes its not the pain that makes us suffer but its our own negative thoughts that make things seem worse… I'm guilty of that 100%! But thank you for giving me a chance……
. Please forgive me one day.
I'm torn between shutting the world out and going back to being super mom/work lady with no social life or trying to fix me and have friends etc. I throw myself into school because its easy. Facing what's after school is what's hard. Providing for kids is easy…. Having that mom/child connection …. That's what's hard. I can teach any kid to walk talk play clean etc but anything to do with emotions is hard. I was supposed to slow down and enjoy life but now I remember why I never did that in the first place …. What's to enjoy about it?
The funny thing is, is that life is really simple but we insist on making it complicated for some reason. But at some point we have to face the decision and choose between what is right and what is easy. But sometimes the wrong choice can bring us to the right place, who knows right?
I won't get into how Kyle and I came to be (for now) but I have been with him on and off since I was 16. We have history to say the least. And let me tell you, fairytales don't always have a happy ending. I guess love is a funny thing the way it fades without warning… and when it's gone, TRUST ME it is gone. I was really sad about it for a while, and in the worst kind of way. The kind of sad where you know deep down that there's nothing you can do even though you wish you could. I'm thinking all love ever does is break and burn in the end anyway.
God I really loved him… I loved him in a I get the last piece of cheese cake, hold a radio over my head outside your window unfortunate way that makes me hate you …love him. And it really fucking sucks when the people you care about most don't feel the same way. When the person that meant the whole world to you can turn into a complete stranger in one mistake.
I knew when I married him I shouldn't have. God I've never admitted that out loud before, but I thought maybe one day I'd be what he needed. Maybe it wouldn't be this bad forever…
People think that being alone makes you lonely but I don't think that's 100% true, being surrounded by the wrong people is the loneliest feeling in the world. I know I have my kids but I can't lean on my kids. WTF kind of mother does that? They are so young and I can't lean on them like that. They don't deserve that. Kyle is/was my mess, not theirs. So I do what I need to do, and honestly what am I supposed to do? My whole life had been around him, I have two kids with him, and he is all I know. I have always felt that no one else would ever love me anways. So I first tried to accept that this was it. This is what love was and it wasn't going to get any better. That love isn't anything like the movies; there is no princeor knight in shining armor. There is no grand jesters, (at least for me anyway) and I should BE so lucky to even have him in my life. I mean look at my track record…..everyone else left. My dad, my step dad, my mom, family, friends…. You can only be unlucky for so long before you start to see a pattern. But what can you do when your good just isn't good enough? Sometimes we hit the point where we change or self-destruct. I have hit that point too many times in my life. And so I sat there slowly drifting away from everything I once knew and loved. And I was sad. Have you ever felt rejected by those closest to you?
And then I got mad……. He broke me into a million tiny little pieces and left me all alone so many times… wtf did he expect? I mean FUCK HIM for giving up on me, FUCK HIM for making me cry, fuck HIM for thinking he could treat me like that and I wouldn't care, FUCK HIM FOR TREATING ME LIKE SHIT AND EXPECTNG ME TO STILL LOVE HIM, FUCK HIM for walking all over me, FUCK HIM for breaking his promises, FUCK HIM for not caring enough when I needed him, FUCK HIM for all the nights I cried myself to sleep, FUCK HIM for wasting my time and giving me mixed signals, and FUCK HIM for not seeing what he had in front of him for SIX YEARS!!! FUCK HM FOR THINKING THAT HIS ACTIONS didn't HAVE A CONSEQUENCE! So I gave up. I started doing things that I wanted to do. He didn't want to go to the club, so I did. He didn't want to take me on dates, so I took myself. He didn't want to do things that I liked so I did them by myself or with other people. I honestly just kept telling myself "Whatever at least I tried." All I ever wanted from him was to love me the same way that I loved him. But he made me feel like I was unlovable. He always made me think that I was just that easy to forget, and no matter how many times he left and came back it never changed. Sure he would apologize but Sorry's are easy its taking responsibility for the things that you have done that is hard and he never did that. I wished so hard that he would feel the same way; I wished every day that he would need me the way I needed him, and I prayed that every time he left me, that without me, his heart would break too. I wished he would spend his night's awake and wonder wtf I was doing… I just wanted to feel important to him. And it killed me that he never fought for me… Why didn't he fight for me? To be loved back by the person you love is the best feeling in the world….. To not be is the worst. Not being enough is a terrible feeling too. Sometimes I wish I could have been better so that he could have loved me the way that I loved him…before I stopped. Eventually my heart just became so tired. It took six-seven years but it happened. I guess some people are meant to fall in love with each other but not be together. There is a difference between loving the idea of someone and actually loving who they really are.
Have you ever looked back at your past and realized you were such an idiot? "We accept the love we think we deserve", and my insecurities let me accept his. You know what the one wrong thing we do when we fall in love? We expect. And it just ruins everything. I have had to learn that people change, feelings change, it doesn't mean that the love wasn't real it simply means that sometimes people grow apart. And that's what I did.
I don't really know what I am doing, what's going to happen, but I guess its ok, I guess sometimes you miss the memories and not the person. Being unwanted isn't exactly a new thing for me. It's really hard to find people who will love you no matter what….family or friends. Trust me I would know. How? Well that's a different part of me…..

Dylan Cook got an eye-opening experience this summer when he attended a weeklong career-exploration camp for deaf and hearing-impaired students at the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, N.Y.
Dylan, who recently marked his 18th birthday, was one of more than 200 high school-aged attendees at Explore Your Future, a career exploration camp at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf on the RIT campus in Rochester. Campers the last week of July got a taste of possible careers in computer art design, lab science technology, business, computing, engineering and, for the first time this summer, health care.
Dylan has just started his senior year at Florida School for the Deaf and Blind in St. Augustine. When he's not at school, he lives with his parents, John and Glenda Cook in Ormond Beach. He also has an older brother, 29-year-old J.R. Cook, who is married and lives in Houston, Texas.
The Ormond Beach teen said in an e-mail that the camp, while fun, had a serious mission.
"The entire program is basically about reviewing your strengths and weaknesses and guiding you in a direction so you are successful," he wrote.
Dylan said he really liked the camp's exploration labs.
"The investigative computer lab was awesome. It was like a robotic class with Legos," he wrote. "The after-class activities were pretty awesome, also. We did everything from bowling to ice skating, and a theme park. The program is very organized and informative. I met students from all over the country."
There wasn't much he didn't like about the camp, although he confessed, "some of the lectures were a little long."
Dylan earned a scholarship to go to the Rochester Institute camp.
"I had to write a paper about what I wanted to do in the future and what my goals were. Your grades and your ACT scores had to be at a certain level to apply also," he said in his e-mail.
For several years, Dylan has wanted to design video games, his mother said in a separate telephone interview. And the teenager said that's still his goal - maybe.
"I pretty much still am focused on game design. However, they have a career exploration program I'm looking at also," he wrote.
The youngster's hearing was damaged by a high fever when he contracted roseola at about three years of age, Ms. Cook said. The impairment wasn't diagnosed for several years, and by then the boy's hearing was severely limited in one ear and almost completely gone in the other.
Dylan attended public schools in Ormond Beach until he got to middle school, which was not as good a fit for his outgoing personality. So his parents enrolled him in Florida School for the Deaf and Blind.
At first, they took him back and forth every day, but eventually Dylan asked to be a boarder at the school, Ms. Cook said.
"He made honors dorm in record time," said the proud mother, who is an executive at a Holly Hill company.
While Dylan's post-high school goals are still not finalized, he would highly recommend the Rochester Institute's program to other hearing-impaired teens.
"Absolutely I would! It was the most informative program I have found out there," he said.
Rochester Institute of Technology offers programs in computing, engineering, imaging technology, sustainability and fine and applied arts, as well as support services for students who are deaf or hard-of-hearing, said spokesman Greg Livadas. The college has about 17,000 full- and part-time students in more than 200 career-oriented and professional programs.
The National Technical Institute for the Deaf is one of nine colleges at Rochester Institute. It was established by Congress in 1965 to provide college opportunities for hearing-impaired individuals who are underemployed in technical fields, Mr. Livadas said. More than 1,350 of a record 1,547 students at the institute are deaf or hard-of-hearing. (The others are hearing students enrolled in interpreting or deaf education programs.)
Explore Your Future is an outreach program offered in the summer for high school juniors and seniors who are expecting to go to college. The goal is to get the students thinking about which careers and majors may suit them. About 80 percent of the EYF participants end up applying to the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, Mr. Livadas said.
The National Technical Institute for the Deaf also has a Center on Employment, which helps students in finding co-op and permanent jobs upon graduation, he said.

In a sport known for lies, one of the biggest fibs is put forth by fishermen who have caught nothing.
"Oh, it's great just to be out in nature," they say. Of course there is some truth to that statement, but when we fish, all of us want to catch something. You can certainly put me in that latter category, but every now and then the beauty and wonder of the natural world will surpass my desire for fishing fun.
My kayak has really added to my enjoyment of the wild. When I bought that little hunk of plastic about two and a half years ago, I wasn't positive it would be up to the challenge of floating me into the new fishing grounds that I hoped for. The very first day I took the Green Peanut out I left my fishing rod at home and launched it into Below Creek near High Bridge. It really is against my nature to be on the water without fishing gear, but my confidence level in the kayak was sorely lacking.
That first launch did not go very well. It was winter and the water was cold. I found out I could not get into the Peanut without getting my feet wet. Once in the thing, I was pretty wobbly. As I began to paddle, I shook my head in the negative. This was not a good beginning. Working to find my center of gravity I was constantly close to tipping over. Before long I was about a quarter mile back into the swamp in a narrow canal. At that moment the jury was still out on whether I would be a kayaker or not.
Just then something happened. I heard a loud grunt come from up ahead. As a hunter, I knew right away that it was a wild hog. Looking back I am forever grateful to that pig for diverting my attention from my unsteadiness. Now, I was stalking an unsuspecting animal. Just up ahead a big boar was rooting along the edge of the canal. Notoriously nearsighted, I knew if I could approach quietly enough I would be able to pull right alongside. With great stealth, I was soon no more than 20 feet from the big boy. I could see the large teeth that jutted menacingly upward from its lower jaw and watch its tail wag when it discovered a buried treat. I forgot I was even in the Green Peanut. Finally it sniffed the wind and knew I was there. As it trotted away, I was left with a mental photograph that is still vivid to this day.
Now years later I was fishing in much the same area. The kayak is now my trusted friend and an almost constant companion. On this chilly winter morning, I noticed something diving up ahead. I assumed it to be cormorants and paid little attention, but as I drew closer I heard the telltale snort of river otters.
The Below Creek area maintains a healthy population of otters and it is not unusual to see them. As animals will do, they spotted me long before I was close enough to be a threat. I stopped paddling and drifted toward the three fury frolickers. As the mature otters dove and swam about, it was clear their curiosity was getting the better of them. Often they would stop what they were doing to cock their heads and stare at me. With all three submerged, I waited to see where they might surface. Plop! Plop! Plop! Three heads came up right alongside the Peanut. They were so close I could have touched them with my paddle. They all looked at me and then at each other. It was as if they were seeking reassurance I meant no harm. As they tilted their heads and stared, their bright eyes glowed as the water dripped from their big bushy mustaches. I was thrilled to see them. On a given signal they all submerged and reappeared on the opposite side of my boat. Trying to get a different perspective I suppose.
After this staring session lasted a good 30 seconds I whispered "looking for company fellows?" That didn't seem to frighten them, but soon one gave a loud snort and away they went. As they motored away, they would stop every few feet and look back at me. Still unsure if I was friend or foe..
I went on to have a good day fishing and landed and released five red fish but the memory I will keep from that day won't be about fishing.

The Vamp is the latest project I have supported on Kickstarter and is one of my favorites so far. It is a tiny little device created by Paul Cocksedge that integrates a bluetooth receiver, battery and amplifier - allowing you to turn any speaker into a high tech bluetooth music system. Brilliantly it can work with anything from small surround sound speakers right up to the hefty floor standing variants, and when pair up with a vintage speaker found at an old second hand store it will look and sound great. And as it powers itself it is ideal for sitting outside in summer with some great music
Best of all at £35 it's cheap as anything so go and buy one HERE

A California resident's 49-year-old mother was visiting from Howrah, India when she was killed in a car accident on Aug. 7. Her 31-year-old son was driving the vehicle when he suddenly swerved into oncoming traffic. The cause of the auto accident was still under investigation at the time of the report.
The Woodside car accident occurred on Skyline Boulevard, just south of La Honda Road, where the son was driving his parents on a sightseeing tour. Just before 7 p.m., he lost control of his Toyota Camry and swerved into the oncoming lane. The Camry collided with a Chevrolet Monte Carlo, causing the Camry to overturn. The son, unhurt in the car accident, was able to pull his 61-year-old father from the overturned vehicle. The father suffered moderate injuries and was taken away by helicopter to Stanford Hospital. The mother was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators are looking into the cause of the accident, but they say that it doesn't appear that alcohol was involved. The driver of the Chevrolet suffered only minor injuries, but there has been no word on how the father is doing at the hospital.
A car accident is a serious danger to all drivers on California roads. A car accident victim can suffer from severe injuries, permanent disability or even death. An experienced personal injury motor vehicle accident attorney may be able to help in the recovery of compensation for the negligent actions of another driver. An attorney could investigate the accident and may help to determine fault and the proper measure of damages.

Ease of Use
Even though this medication is prescribed for sleep I do not get what I consider to be full benefit from this drug. It still takes 2-3 hours for me to fall asleep and I only sleep about 5 hours total. This is in spite of the dosage being raised several times.

Finding the right doseage is the key to using this. Most use 50mg or 100mg but I've found that 150mg gives me a great restful sleep of at least 8 hours. Thus far, I have had no serious side effects.

Ease of Use
i have been taking 50mg a night for 2 weeks and it is not doing anything to help me fall asleep. I will take it and lay in bed for hours before I finally drift off to sleep. Going to give it another 2 weeks because it can take up to 4 weeks to be fully in your system. That's when you know whether you are going to benefit from the medication or not. So far it has been a NOT.

Maritime history and intrigue in Bermuda
Caribbean cruise destinations
The island of Bermuda conjures up images of gorgeous colonial buildings hidden in the heart of a tropical paradise. You can dive into the British exclave's unique culture and natural beauty during a shore excursion on a Caribbean cruise.
The first stop you'll make on your trip to Bermuda is the port of Hamilton, the colony's thriving capital. Here, you can explore its winding streets as you marvel at the colorful architecture and take advantage of opportunities for world-class shopping and dining. For a different kind of urban experience, you can pay a visit to St. George. This former capital allows you to step back in time, as it features a quaint town square with replica cedar stocks as well as the oldest Anglican Church currently in use in the Western Hemisphere.
A similar historical attraction is the Gibb's Hill Lighthouse. This iconic tower is said to be one of the oldest cast-iron lighthouses in the world, making it a prime attraction if you're interested in the maritime structures. The building's lamp, which has been in operation since 1846, can reportedly be seen from up to 40 miles away.
Bermuda also has its fair share of museums and other educational attractions. One top destination of this kind is the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo, a huge complex that is sure to wow the kids. Here, you will find a bevy of different animals, including cockatoos, turtles and seahorses. One highlight is the 145,000-gallon "North Rock" tank, which features a replica coral reef.
Meanwhile, the Maritime Museum is a great place to learn about Bermuda's unique status as a way station for sailors crossing the Atlantic. Built in the island's biggest fort, this facility is home to exhibits detailing 500 years of seafaring history through shipwreck artifacts, authentic cannons and ocean-related art. The museum is situated in the heart of the Royal Naval Dockyard, a historic strategic outpost with plenty of interesting landmarks.
If you want to take advantage of Bermuda's natural scenery, pay a visit to the Crystal Caves. These amazing caverns contain a myriad of stalactites, stalagmites and even underground lakes. To end your shore excursion, visit Horseshoe Bay Beach and stretch out on its sparkling pink sand.

With the aid of an arthroscope, Dr.
Cherney can easily examine, diagnose, and treat joint problems
which, in earlier years, may have been extremely difficult to even
The arthroscope is a small
fiber-optic viewing instrument made up of a tiny lens, light source
and video camera. The surgical instruments used in arthroscopic
surgery are very small (only 3 to 5 mm. in diameter), but are
designed to present a magnified picture.
The surgeon inserts the arthroscope
into the joint through a tiny incision (about 1/4 of an inch) called
a portal. Other portals are used for the insertion of surgical
instruments. With small incision sites and direct access to most
areas of the joint, the surgeon can diagnose and correct a wide variety
of problems such as arthritis and ligament tears. Arthroscopy can
also be used in conjunction with open procedures, such as an
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL)
Reconstruction, as well as procedures dealing with the shoulder,
elbow, wrist, and ankle.
Traumatic Knee
Some knee problems result from a
single injury, such as a direct blow or sudden force that shifts the
knee beyond its normal range of movement. Other problems, such as
osteoarthritis, result from years of wear and tear on the articular
Inflammatory Knee
Inflammation that occurs in certain
rheumatic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus
erythematosus, can damage the knee.
history--The patient tells the doctor details about
symptoms and about any injury, condition, or general health issues that might be related to the the problem.
examination--The doctor manipulates and palpates the knee
to assess motion, laxity, function and location of pain. The patient may be
asked to stand, walk or squat to help the doctor assess the knee's
tests--Dr. Cherney uses a variety tests to determine
the nature of a knee problem.
Cuff Tear:
The rotator cuff is a group of muscles that allows specific
movements of the shoulder. Injury
to the rotator cuff can cause weakness, pain and loss of motion.
Due to the fact that complete tears to the rotator cuff do
not mend themselves, surgery may be indicated.
Rotator cuff repair is the closure of the tear which usually
includes re-attachment of the rotator cuff back to its insertion on
the humeral head. Special
arthroscopically inserted suture anchors facilitate the repair of
the rotator cuff to the bone.
Degenerative Joint Disease / AC Meniscus Tear:
Arthritis or damage to the meniscus cartilage in the AC joint
causes pain. Pain
mostly occurs with overhead motions and movements across the body.
Arthroscopic surgery includes
shaving a small portion off the distal clavicle to make room in the
joint and to remove torn meniscus cartilage.
Tear of the cartilage rim. The
shoulder is a ball and socket joint the glenohumeral joint.
The labrum is a cartilage rim that encircles the socket (glenoid)
providing depth resulting in increased stability for the shoulder.
A Labral tear may result from a single injury or chronic
overuse. Repair of the
torn labrum can be performed arthroscopically. This allows many athletes a safe and predictable return to
Abnormal joint motion caused by trauma (dislocation/subluxation)
or associated with generalized joint laxity.
When increased laxity around the shoulder causes symptoms or
recurrent dislocations, surgery may be recommended, to tighten the
ligaments around the shoulder.
Sprain (Shoulder separation):
Separation of the clavicle (collarbone) relative to the
scapula (shoulder blade). These separations are graded I – VI.
A small percentage of separations may require surgery to
relocate the joint and repair the ligaments that have been torn
during the injury. A
simple shaving of the clavicle tip may eliminate pain.
Syndrome / Shoulder Bursitis:
A painful process caused by inflammation of the rotator cuff
and the bursa that lies above it. If anti-inflammatory medication,
rest, therapeutic exercise and cortisone injections (possibly have
failed) to relieve symptoms, surgery may be recommended.
Arthroscopy increases the space available for the rotator
cuff by shaving the acromion and removing inflamed bursa.
Unlike typical fractures, which
involve bones snapping in two, stress fracture are microscopic
cracks that are often too tiny to show up on a routine x-ray. MRI or bone scans are often needed to make the diagnosis.
