Diamond 81: Give me Clarity
Diamond 81: Give me Clarity
At the control room of Giovanni's mansion, Pixel was going to check the status of the security system. Strangely enough, she found a man passed out on the floor. He was wearing a standard Team Rocket uniform. She looked towards the large computer screen that glowed as the center of attention of the room. "Deactivated?"
Pixel hurried to the controls and tried to reactivate the security system. The alarms and cameras were both off. Was that man a traitor or an infiltrator? It didn't make sense that he was left on the floor, though he had no visible wounds. Maybe someone hit him with a blunt object and knocked him out. Either way he was still suspicious.
Pixel didn't know what in the world was going on, but someone locked her out of the system. Her ID and password were rejected. For all she knew, there could be any number of intruders in the mansion. She let out Prism, the Porygon, out of her lucky seven mini-laptop. "Prism, we need to activate the security system again. Actually, I'll leave you to it, there's an important guest I need to make sure is alright. I'll notify HQ just in case."
Pixel looked at the unconscious man suspiciously. She didn't want to leave him unguarded, so she released Pyro from his pokeball. "Watch this man, if he moves, incinerate him." The Charmander gave a little salute and glared at the unconscious man intensely. Pixel also released Peachy from her pokeball. "Get ready Peachy, we might have to deal with intruders!" The blue haired girl and her Pikachu rushed to find Delia.
xoxox xox xoxox
While Ash rested, Delia took a walk through the mansion. She passed by a spacious balcony overlooking a medium sized indoor pool. The one outside was much larger and had a tall diving board. On the opposite wall there hung a painting of Giovanni with his Persian. "Enjoying your stay, Delia?"
Delia turned around to face the unknown woman that stood about five feet away from her. She had long faded pink hair and olive skin. Her brown eyes seemed to carry a large amount of anger. "Who are you?"
The woman grinned, "I suppose you could call me your rival." There was nothing that truly stood out about her civilian clothing. Her boots were a bit odd, several sizes much too big for her, though they somehow stayed in place, even if she moved with a limp.
"Rival?" Delia didn't understand what she was talking about. "What do you mean by that?"
"I guess you'll never know," the unknown woman pointed a gun at Delia.
"If you're my rival I challenge you to a pokemon battle," Delia insisted.
"Fine, choose your pokemon," the unknown woman grinned wickedly. Delia released Cloyster from his pokeball. "I changed my mind, battle denied," the woman prepared to shoot; she wasn't willing to settle this in a pokemon battle. She would only be satisfied by Delia's death.
Cloyster jumped in front of Delia as a loud bang pierced the air. He had hardened his shell as much as he could. The bullet was caught in his shell, though it thankfully didn't perforate the shield to reach his vulnerable body. "Cloyster!" Delia yelled in agony, she recalled Cloyster into his pokeball for safety, "I'm sorry Cloyster, I'm so sorry!"
Down the hall, Pixel was alerted by the noise and hurried towards it. "Jump!" She called out to Delia as she threw Peachy ahead. Delia jumped off the balcony into the pool below and out of the way of Peachy's attack. "Thunderbolt!" The electric attack caught the woman off guard.
The mysterious woman was electrocuted and thrown several feet back. She dropped her gun to the floor below and banged her head against the wall with the force of the momentum. She struggled to get on her feet and release one of her own pokemon. "Fearow, razor wind!" The pokemon speedily attacked, sending a storm of cutting wind to Peachy. While the flying pokemon attacked, the woman jumped on his back to make her escape. "Flygon, Garchomp, attack!" She released two pokemon just before Fearow's attack culminated.
"Peachy!" Pixel called out to her pokemon with concern.
"Chu!" The electric pokemon was still able to battle. With Pixel's path blocked, Fearow was able to escape through a window with the mysterious woman on his back.
Delia returned to the top of the balcony and stopped Pixel before she could issue a command, "wait! Don't provoke them. Their trainer is gone and they don't look hostile."
Pixel looked at the Flygon and Garchomp. Delia was right, they were just standing there. "Why would she run away if she had these pokemon to fight for her? Why would she leave them behind?"
"She's not their trainer," Delia concluded, "they don't know her. It looks like they've been taught not to listen to strangers." She noticed them looking at the painting on the wall. "Could it be? Is he your trainer?"
The two pokemon nodded. They had been trained by both Giovanni and Luke, when Giovanni was busy. Luke taught them to recognize Giovanni as their main trainer and not to follow orders from anyone else, unless Giovanni told them to.
"Delia is the boss' lady, listen to her and I'm sure you'll see your trainer again soon," Pixel told the two pokemon. They were very strong, but relatively docile as long as they were not provoked or ordered to attack.
In a few seconds, the mansion was flooded with an army of black uniforms with red Rs. Delia was dripping wet from head to toe, but there was no time to waste. She had to make sure Ash was alright. The Rocket girl and the two pokemon followed Delia down the long elegant halls of the mansion. They reached Ash's room and Delia rushed inside.
A smile of relief formed on Delia's face as she realized that Ash slept through the whole thing. He was laying in bed in the same clothes, though he was missing his hat and shoes. He was stretched out it every direction, as if his arms and legs were reaching for the edge of the bed, which was still far from his reach. Ash had enough to think about already and didn't need any extra stress. The rooms must be sound proof. Delia turned back and left her son to rest.
xoxox xox xoxox
The area around the mansion outside was also flooded with Rockets. "I found someone!" One of the Rocket grunts spotted a figure laying on the ground. She was someone from Team Rocket and she was injured. They assumed the intruder must have attacked her.
The Rocket woman lay motionless on the ground, face down. There was blood on the back of her head, sticking to her ebony hair and a blood stained rock nearby. It had been removed from the decorative circle of stones around the tree that currently shaded the unconscious woman from the sun. She was wearing a more business-like version of the Team Rocket uniform and her left leg was in a brace. A disk was on the ground near her.
xoxox xox xoxox
Inside the mansion, after checking on Ash, Delia closely examined Cloyster. "Oh no," her voice was full of concern and worry. "Stay still, I'll get it out," She reached into his shell with one arm and held her other hand on the other side. She pushed the bullet out and it landed on her palm. She examined the hole on Cloyster's shell. "I'm so sorry. I should have thought of the consequences before calling you out. I thought she would battle, I thought she agreed to that. I didn't expect her to shoot."
Pixel quietly watched Delia tend to her pokemon. "You had to call him out. Cloyster survived that, but you wouldn't have."
Delia looked up for a moment, from checking for any unnoticed injuries inside Cloyster's shell. He was alright on the inside at least. "You remind me of when I used to feel invincible with Team Rocket. It's an amazing feeling, but you shouldn't lose track of reality."
"I know the risks, but I'm not afraid to face them. I've found what I really want to do and I've been training for it. Team Rocket isn't just my escape anymore," Pixel smiled.
"If you keep looking at me like that, your adventurous mood might get contagious," it was dangerous. Delia didn't want to fall into the excitement as she had in the past. She might get carried away and lose sight of herself. Lately she wondered just who her true self was. Pixel only continued to smile at the prospect. Thankfully, Cloyster's shell could be repaired. He would be all better soon, as if that hole was never there. He knew that Delia was telling the truth about not intentionally using him as a shield. When it came down to it, the bullet was aimed at Delia, not him. It was Cloyster who willingly jumped in its path.
xoxox xox xoxox
Later, Ash yawned and stretched. It took him a moment to realize where he was. The bed was too big and soft to be part of the accommodations of a Pokemon Center. He sat up and allowed all his newly acquired information to resurface. He was in Giovanni's mansion. Giovanni was the leader of Team Rocket, he was... his father.
Ash was completely at a loss of what to say to him when he saw him again. His mother didn't seem to blame him. She didn't hold Team Rocket against him. Team Rocket was a criminal organization. Was it truly capable of affecting Kanto in ways that were not always negative? The advancements fueled by Team Rocket came at a heavy price. Was it alright to be accepting of that? Would the good outweigh the bad if he was better informed?
His mother's values were something he was familiar with. He had been raised that way after all. She set that aside and made an exception for his father. Ash didn't fully understand that. He would keep the secret, for the time being, he wouldn't speak of Team Rocket. Until he sorted things out in his head, he wouldn't even tell Misty. He didn't want to drag her into an uncomfortable situation or danger. Nonetheless, he had a feeling that he would eventually end up telling her anyway.
Ash allowed himself to fall back into bed, turning his head to the side. "Pikachu, what are we going to do?"
The little yellow pokemon sat beside him, looking as puzzled as his trainer for a moment. "Pikapi..." Pikachu's expression changed and he smiled, "pika chu!" It was as if he was trying to tell Ash he was thinking too much and worrying too much.
"Pokemon are pretty carefree," Ash couldn't help it but to smile back. "I guess I won't rush things." He examined the fancy clock on the wall with golden numbers on blue glass. He had slept for longer than he thought. "Let's have an afternoon snack."
Pikachu agreed and hopped on Ash's shoulder. The young man put his shoes on, which he had removed for his nap, and grabbed his hat. His hair was a little more rebellious after being rubbed against the pillow. Ash adjusted his hat on his head and opened the large door of his room. There were two Rockets standing left and right of the door. Ash came close to calling out for a Thunderbolt from Pikachu, but stopped himself from falling into the habit.
He proceeded to walk down the hall in search of his mother, without saying a word. One of the Rocket grunts stayed next to the door, while the other followed him. "Why are you following me?" Ash finally questioned, with a slight edge to his tone.
"The lady ordered that you be kept safe," the Rocket following Ash replied.
Before Ash could say anything, another Rocket approached from down the hall. "The security system has been repaired and the mansion is clear. We can lessen the guard now."
Ash listened to the exchange, "does that mean I can walk around on my own?"
"Yes, sir," the two Rockets chorused.
"Um... thanks..." Ash hurried away as fast as he could. 'That was weird,' he thought.
xoxox xox xoxox
When Ash found his mother, she was in the company of another woman, who was being tended to by a doctor. They seemed to be in the middle of a conversation. Delia had since changed out of her wet clothes and Pixel had returned to the Viridian headquarters. Delia managed to talk Flygon and Garchomp into following Pixel, promising that she would take them to Giovanni.
"It's just not my day," Iblis sighed as the doctor finished bandaging her head. "First I get my ankle broken and then I get knocked out." She held an icepack to her forehead. She could feel her head pounding with frustration. "None the less, we should get to work. It's a good thing that strange woman who attacked me didn't seem to care about stealing anything." If she lost the disk with information about the investigation, it would have been quite troublesome.
Delia shook her head, "you need to rest. I'll look at the files and type up any information I can come up with," Delia paused, noticing Ash had entered the living room. "You should think about your health, not just work," Delia finished naturally, as if they were discussing some non-urgent business report. She smiled at Ash, as if calling him over, "this is my son, Ash. Ash, this is Iblis, she's..." someone who worked for Team Rocket and was injured on the job, "a friend," Delia finished, although she didn't really know Iblis well enough to truly be her friend.
"Ah yes, the Indigo League Champion," Iblis smiled, as if she didn't notice her own injuries at all. "It's a pleasure to meet someone so talented. You're an inspiration to all of Kanto and beyond. You will be participating in the next Indigo League championship, right?"
Ash was feeling uneasy because of his encounter with the Rockets, but his mood took a sharp turn upon receiving the compliments. He smiled from ear to ear, "I'll be there and I won't let you down!"
"You truly deserve all your success, best of luck," seeing Iblis being so nice to Ash, Delia felt better. She remembered her friends from Team Rocket, that was the Team Rocket she wanted Ash to know about. There was much more to them than a band of criminals.
Ash's ego trip was rather short. Just as quickly as he set aside his thoughts about Team Rocket, he picked them up again. The doctor silently left. He had a red R on the right top corner of his white lab coat. Ash's mind had focused so much on that little detailed that if someone asked him what the doctor looked like, he wouldn't really know. All that he would be able to say would be that the doctor was a person with a small red R on a white lab coat.
He wanted to have a nice conversation with his mother and her friend. He wanted to put aside his thoughts and confusion. He wanted to live in the moment and get lost in the feelings of accomplishment that came with thinking of his achievements. He knew he couldn't do that. It was only a matter of time before Giovanni returned and Ash was in no way ready to face him. As things stood at that very moment, Ash had no idea what he would say or how he would react if he saw Giovanni face to face again.
It was a strange feeling unlike anything he had ever felt before. Ash never had a father; he never had a man to look at and think 'one day I might be like him.' He had his mother and Professor Oak was very supportive as well, but it wasn't the same. When he was younger, he focused more so on what he had then on what he never knew. He was alright, though curious.
Finally, Giovanni entered the picture. Ash's buried curiosity and the feeling of missing something resurfaced without him even realizing it. Not knowing what he was doing, he unconsciously looked to the man he thought was only his mother's boyfriend for a paternal figure. Unconsciously he wondered if having Giovanni around was like having a father. He wondered if admiring his achievements was like looking up to a father. He wondered about many things.
How did Giovanni speak to him so calmly knowing who he was? How did he keep his questions quiet? Did he have questions? Ash would assume he should. The young man felt overwhelmed with a look of desperation suddenly invading his face. He simply couldn't keep up with his racing thoughts. He wanted some sort of resolution, a closure that would bring stability. He wanted to once again think he understood his life, knew where he came from and where he was going.
"Ash?" Delia's soft voice rung out full of motherly concern.
Ash searched for something to focus on, "you're hurt," he finally pointed out, referring to Iblis. It was obvious; it was the thing that stood out the most at that moment.
"There's no need to worry," Iblis smiled as she took in Ash's expression. "You have a kind heart, I can tell. Well, I'm sure you must have things to talk to your mother about." Iblis got up, "I'll speak to you later, Delia. It was nice meeting you, Ash." She left the room as swiftly as she could, aided by a crutch. She was a proud woman, who would much rather get around herself, instead of accepting help from anyone.
As soon as Iblis was out of the room, Ash let himself fall on the couch next to his mother. After allowing things to sink in, he was ready for another long talk, which Delia was expecting.
xoxox xox xoxox
Meanwhile, Giovanni was in his above ground office at the Viridian gym. He was informed about the situation at the mansion, but it looked like everything was under control. He decided to wait a little longer before going back, so that Delia would have enough time to talk to Ash after things settled down.
He had given her a quick call and was informed about what happened. Iblis had apparently gotten caught in the chaos, but recovered and intended to discuss the attempted murder investigation with Delia to build a better suspect profile. Building profiles to predict behavior was something Iblis did often, thus adding her to the investigation was only natural.
While Giovanni kept up with his work, Luke emptied his pockets, setting their contents on Giovanni's desk as he searched for something. A black wallet, a Seaking keychain with several silver keys and a pack of seasalt flavored gum, no pokeballs. Luke's only pokeballs were on his belt and those contained his own pokemon. "Dude, I'm like totally sure I like delivered them, you know? They're like not on my pokeball belt, they're like not in my pockets, they're like gone, you know?"
"I don't need to tell you how much it will bother me if you lost them," Giovanni was in a very bad mood. The only reason he didn't explode was because he knew Luke was usually careful with pokemon. He wouldn't just lose them, thus Giovanni gave him the benefit of the doubt. "Are you sure you left the pokeballs on my desk? I didn't see anyone come in here and I was only gone for a few minutes." The boy who dared to challenge him for an Earth badge was far below being a worthy opponent. There was nothing of importance in that office in comparison to the other one. It hid no real secrets, hence why the security wasn't as tight. Sometimes guests had to come in and he didn't want the office to look suspicious.
"I'm like totally sure Flygon and Garchomp like won't listen to like anyone else, you know?" Luke insisted. "If someone like took them, they'll be like totally sorry, man!"
A knock on the door interrupted the conversation. "I'm busy," Giovanni replied, his mood worsening.
Giovanni was about to express his disapproval to Luke when a voice from outside his door insisted upon the interruption. "Boss? I have your pokemon with me and they're getting impatient to see you. They won't go into pokeballs unless you tell them to."
"Come in," Giovanni finally agreed. He watched as a blue haired girl opened the door and entered the office followed by Flygon and Garchomp.
"Pixel, you found them!" Luke recognized her as one of Comet's friends. He was glad the two missing pokemon had been returned.
"Actually, I didn't really need to look for them," Pixel voiced.
"Explain," Giovanni insisted impatiently.
"I'm sure you must already be informed about the incident in your mansion," Pixel began. Giovanni nodded and she continued, "when the intruder escaped, she used these two pokemon to block my path and create a diversion. At first I thought they were her pokemon and prepared for a battle. Then Delia noticed they weren't hostile. They recognized you from a painting, that's how we knew they were yours. Delia talked them into following me here; they wanted to be returned to you."
"You see, dude? I like totally told you they would like not listen to like anyone else, you know?" Luke smiled proudly. He tried to take Giovanni's attention off his little slip off leaving the pokeballs alone on his desk and towards the job he did training the pokemon. "They're like Queen, like loyal."
Giovanni allowed the happenings to sink in, "it seems you did a good job training them after all," he gave Luke some credit, then looked at Pixel, "and you helped Delia, even though in the end the attacker escaped. I was unsure if Archer's suggestion to give you another chance would work out, but it seems you've become more dedicated. I understand that it was your Porygon which restored the mansion's software." Against the odds, she had faced an armed opponent to protect Delia. The would-be murderer escaped, but Delia came out of it unharmed.
"Yes..." Pixel was taken by surprise; she didn't expect to receive any special acknowledgement for what she did. Maybe the fact that it concerned Delia was the key factor. "I'm a Rocket, that's what I do. My specialty is more about technology, but I'm not afraid to face danger."
"Pixel's like a good girl, I mean like a good rocket, you know?" Luke added in his recommendation. Pixel was currently in a relatively low rank, but she had potential. Luke knew because of how Comet spoke of her.
"Make sure you don't lose that determination," Giovanni retrieved an upgrade from his desk drawer and gave the disk to Pixel. "Continue your training and don't disappoint me." Reading between the lines, this signified a promotion.
"Yes, sir!" Pixel chirped, pleasantly surprised.
"This mystery is about to be solved," Giovanni declared, "as soon as we know who stole Flygon and Garchomp, we'll know more about who's been after Delia." Whoever it was must have some kind of inside connection that was about to be discovered. In the end, the theft might have been a blessing in disguise. It was odd that the killer would make such a bold move to steal his pokemon; it would be a costly action. "Luke, we'll speak of your promotion later, for now just stay with your usual duties."
While Giovanni spoke to Pixel, Luke had unwrapped a piece of gum and put it in his mouth. He accidentally swallowed it upon hearing Giovanni's words. "My like what?"
"You've made up for the past; I'm moving you up in rank. I know you don't like executive positions and prefer training pokemon. That's your specialty, so your new position will be related to that." He would guide the Rockets to become stronger while at the same time keeping an eye on them and assessing their loyalty. The new internal training program was still under development. "That will have to wait until things calm down; everything is too busy right now."
"That's like awesome, thanks man!" Luke cheered.

Here's the post from Liberty Without Apologies blog. (H/T Well Spent Journey)
I believe Scott Walker is the best possible candidate for the Republican 2016 election. I have believed this since before I moved to Wisconsin, and living here has solidified that belief.
I understand that Rand Paul is by far the most popular candidate for libertarians. I lived in Kentucky during Rand Paul's primary fight against McConnell toady Trey Greyson, although I stayed home, as he was dominating in the polls. I did vote for him for Senate. I'm proud of my former Senator (I have since moved to Wisconsin, which has a conservative Tea Partier and a Marxist lesbian in the Senate) and think he's doing a fine job.
He lists five reasons why he likes Walker.
Here are the first three:
1. Competence matters as much as ideology. I remember when Democrats enthusiastically elected a charismatic, ideological liberal with almost no real experience running anything. He then proceeded to screw up one of the most important left-wing issues so badly that Democrats barely even want to say the word "healthcare" anymore, let alone make you extravagant promises about it. Obama's self-defeating hubris is the only reason we have a chance in 2016. If Obamacare had been a smartly devised system of creeping bribes like Medicare was, the fight would be over. Ideologically, I like Rand Paul, but I have simply no reason whatsoever to believe he would be a competent executive. He's a risky unknown, and the Presidency is too important. If he turns out to be incompetent, four years of an incompetent executive ensures the liberty movement will be finished for years as a voice in the Republican Party and in American politics as a whole. Scott Walker's proven he can establish the kind of record that makes limited government more popular, not less. We're not talking about Chris Christie's progressive Republicanism. We're talking about a guy whose signature accomplishments are cutting off public employee unions and balancing the budget.
2. Institutions matter. If there's one thing that characterizes Scott Walker's tenure as governor, it's disarming, defanging, and throttling institutions that serve as the source and foundation of left-wing power. We don't just need someone who likes capitalism and freedom in the White House. We need someone who understands how the institution of government has been turned into a tool for destroying the right and creating reliable, government-worshiping, Democrat voters. I know Scott Walker understands this, because he's made it central to his agenda while governor. And I know he doesn't just understand it, he knows how to do it.
3. The federal bureaucracy has metastasized. Scott Walker has an army of boring, pudgy, bespectacled guys quietly doing everything they can to undermine and confound the progressive agenda at state bureaucracies. He knows who to get the right people doing the grunt work of reforming government. The greatest enemies a Republican President will face are the permanent employees in executive branch agencies, not Congressional Democrats. The petty functionaries that weaponized the IRS are smart, they are vicious, and they will fight. I know Walker knows they need to be fought, and I know that he knows how to win, because he's winning his fights here in Wisconsin. I'd have more faith in Rand Paul if he'd been the governor of Kentucky and successfully fought the public school establishment or something, but he hasn't been, so I don't have it. Making speeches on the Senate floor is important, but it's not the same as going through the laborious grind of cleaning out a bureaucracy that's metastasized and is feeding on the body politic. Paul is probably more ideologically libertarian than Walker, but Walker's won as many battles against government as you could hope to get out of any governor.
I think that in 2016 we should be looking at candidates who will take the fight to the Democrats. We don't need another Mitt Romney. I want to see a candidate who sticks his neck out for what he believes in and comes out on top. Real accomplishments, this time. Not rhetoric. Why do we always have to care what our opponents think of us? Why not just beat them up and then be magnanimous in victory? If he runs for President on the platform of zeroing out manufacturing income tax, he will win. Every union worker will vote for him.
During the Christmas vacation, I read governor Walker's new book, which was a Christmas present from my friend ECM. If you want to learn more about governor Walker, I recommend picking that up. I actually got the audio version, and it's read by governor Walker himself.
Frankly, there is only one person running in 2016 right now who destroys government, and it's Walker. I want to see them out of a job, or with their salaries and benefits chopped. No mercy. Walker is the man who can do it, because he's done it. Over and over and over again.

Do men like women who flash the flesh?
FilmMagic-Getty Images
Hot pants, mini skirts, exposed midriffs, side boobs...Mmmm.
Erm, ahem, splutter. Apologies. No, you haven't interrupted one of our regular afternoon naps.
No, we've been pondering this male fantasy list of female fashions for perfectly sound scientific reasons.
Because the latest study says men don't go for flesh baring females at all.
Can it be true? We spend longer than strictly necessary searching for an answer.
Men like demure
According to new research, poor old Rihanna wouldn't have much of a chance with the average bloke (we bet she's gutted). And if Kylie approached us in the kind of mini skirt that showed her famously pert bottom to best effect many of us would compliment her on a fine body of work but suggest she keep her other body more modestly under wraps.
At least, that's what you might conclude from a study which found that while 31 percent of men liked a revealing dresser, 54 percent said they preferred a woman in "classy" attire.
And what do they mean by classy? Well, according to the poll, 45 percent prefer a woman in the sort of styles popularised by the demure Duchess of Cambridge (though not in those French magazine photos).
In other words, we like women to leave, well, pretty much everything to our imaginations. Who on earth would have thought that?

Initially, there was a push backstage in WWE to have AJ Lee defending the belt against Naomi Knight in a straight up match, but for the sake of Total Divas, management opted to just throw as many of the girls into the match as possible. Cameron, Brie Bella, Nikki Bella, Natalya Neidhart, Eva Marie, Summer Rae, Emma, Aksana, Alicia Fox, Rosa Mendes, Layla El and Tamina Snuka are now involved.
March 25, 2014
In a singles match on Monday Night Raw, Kaitlyn defeated Alicia Fox. Kaitlyn is in the midst of a push, and WWE wanted a new face to put her over on television this week.
January 21, 2013
A good person to be friends with in WWE is the top star in the company. Antonio Cesaro has started to really bond with John Cena backstage, and the two of them have reported been hanging out before shows. Some feel that this could help Cesaro finally get that push that he deserves. It should be noted, however, that a friendship with Cena was not enough to get Big E Langston a big push.
September 8, 2014
There are speculations right now that Rosa Mendes could be on the receiving end of a push from WWE. She recently stated in an interview that she has never won a singles match via pin fall on television before. The belief is that she is planting the seeds for an underdog story line. Rosa chasing the championship could be a focal point on Total Divas.
August 23, 2014
There is a little bit of a dilemma backstage in WWE right now when it comes to the Roman Reigns push. Management does not want to put the title on him just yet because they feel that it would be more effective to let him do it at Wrestlemania 31. However, he has gone pretty high up the card already, as Randy Orton is near the top of the ladder. Management will have to figure out what to do with him over the next several months.
August 22, 2014
While management has seemingly given up on the Bo Dallas push, they do not appear to be in a rush to give him a release just yet. The belief is that WWE will keep him around for the time being and utilize him as a roster filler. Dallas is considered a good employee who shows up to work and does not cause trouble backstage. Another push seems to be out of the question, though.
August 18, 2014
Since he still has some backstage stroke, Batista is said to be using his political powers in an attempt to get WWE to push Titus ONeil, whom he calls a very close friend of his. The former world heavyweight champion has even publicly stated that he would be more than willing to be the person to elevate ONeil should the company decide to go that route.
August 15, 2014
Rumors have surfaced that Vince McMahon and company have given up on Bo Dallas. They do not view him as someone that will be a major asset to WWE. With his push being derailed on television, these rumors appear to lean closer to fact than fiction. Dallas had his push taken away almost immediately the last time he was on the main roster, so there are those that believe that this might be his final chance.
August 15, 2014
A little buzz was created this week when Dolph Ziggler defeated Randy Orton in the main event of a WWE live event. A lot of fans believed that this would be the start of a push for the former world heavyweight champion. However, that does not appear to be the case. Ziggler was simply substituting for Roman Reigns, who was on another tour. WWE usually lets the baby face win the final match of the night to send the live audience home happy.
August 11, 2014
Now that he has been given his release from WWE, Evan Bourne is opening up about allegations about his drug use backstage. The high flyer admitted that he did smoke marijuana. he also revealed that he failed the drug test because of synthetic marijuana. Bourne stated that he has apologized to Kofi Kingston, who he was teaming with at the time, for ruining their push.
August 10, 2014
On Monday Night Raw this week, fans witnessed Mark Henry making his return and attacking Damien Sandow. The belief is that he will be given a slight push from WWE, so that he can be utilized in an upcoming feud with Alexander Rusev, who desperately needs people to work against after he is done with Jack Swagger. Beating a performer as big as Henry should help further establish Rusev as a top level heel.
August 5, 2014
WWE has announced that Dolph Ziggler will be challenging the Miz at Summerslam 2014 for the Intercontinental Championship. While his popularity remains pretty strong, this is not a push for Ziggler. Management simply needed a mid card baby face to put over Miz. A title change is not expected to take place, as the company wants to see how far this Hollywood character can go.
August 5, 2014
Some bad news for fans who were upset with WWE giving Batista a big push upon his return. When he comes back around again, his push could be much bigger than the previous one. The former world heavyweight champion has gained even more name value since Guardians of the Galaxy is set to break a couple of records at the box office. A title reign for Batista is not out of the question.
August 3, 2014
Word going around right now is that Alberto Del Rio is not as vocal as he used to be backstage. In the past, he was known to be outwardly upset whenever WWE did not push him properly. Nowadays, though, it appears that he is content with just being there and collecting nice paychecks. He is not as adamant about being in the main event scene as before. The belief backstage is that Del Rio will leave the company sooner than later.
August 1, 2014
Even though the move was done at the last minute, the baby face turn for Jack Swagger has turned out a lot better than WWE had expected. Officials backstage are impressed with the audience reaction to the now patriotic character. A lot of that has to do with the heat that Lana and Alexander Rusev have generated. However, management will more than likely give a push to Swagger to see if the momentum can carry on.
August 1, 2014
While there are still discussions on a title unification program, there are now people backstage in WWE that are pushing for Sheamus to drop the United States Heavyweight Championship to Alexander Rusev. Some feel that it would give he and Lana a bit more heel heat. Plus, they can stall his push a bit by having him defend the belt against lower level opponents.
July 31, 2014
Since he has shown a willingness to not only do what is asked of him but to actually put in great effort in doing so, Damien Sandow has been earning a good amount of praise backstage by his peers in WWE. They are impressed by the fact that he has not grown frustrated with the new gimmick. Unfortunately for Sandow, though, management does not feel that he deserves a real push at the moment.
July 28, 2014
Alexander Rusev is posing a considerable problem for the WWE creative department nowadays. The staff was instructed to push him up the ladder, but they are now running out of options. His program with Jack Swagger has either ended or will end soon. Rusev cannot be placed into a program with someone lower on the card, and it's too soon for him to work against John Cena. Sheamus has been named as a possible opponent to help Rusev kill time.
July 27, 2014
Rumors are floating around right now that WWE officials have banned Antonio Cesaro from utilizing his giant swing move. The belief is that the company does not want him to accumulate more fan support because the move has proven to be massively popular. Management is said to be holding off on his face turn and big push because they want to focus on Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns first.
July 26, 2014
Rumors are floating around that WWE is going to be splitting up Curtis Axel and Ryback very soon. Since neither guy has a ton of momentum right now, it does not appear that the move is being done to give them a push. WWE views Axel as just a guy on the roster nowadays, and Ryback has been in the doghouse with management for quite some time now.
July 23, 2014
"Dolph Ziggler has got to be one of the toughest men to put on a pair of boots, but he's going to be like Mick Foley in another five years because that kid beats his body up more than anybody on the crew. I do know this, in my dealings with him, when I'm his producer, he gives everything he's got. He does some really phenomenal and athletic stuff." - Arn Anderson thinks WWE should push Ziggler
July 20, 2014
While he receives a bad rap from a lot of fans due to WWE giving him a heavyweight championship run a couple of years back, Miz is actually very much a student of the game. He has remained motivated despite not being given a push in a while. Miz has also been studying legendary actor Andy Kaufman, who will forever have a place in wrestling history thanks to his memorable story line with Jerry Lawler during the 1980s, so that he can improve his gimmick and character.
July 19, 2014
Those that watched Summerslam 2014 saw Nikki Bella doing her much rumored heel turn. She is expected to work in that role on television going forward. However, WWE did something peculiar at a live event in Sacramento over the weekend. Nikki worked as a baby face. She teamed up with Emma to defeat Alicia Fox and Layla El. The face team even attacked Rosa Mendes, who was portraying a heel character. No word yet on why WWE opted to do this.
August 24, 2014
With AJ Lee finally making her return to WWE, the competition in the divas division just got a bit tougher. Someone is going to be losing television time. Naomi Knight and Cameron appear to be safe, as they have a heel turn story line in progress. Summer Rae and Layla El appear to have their weekly television spots secured for the time being. Paige is going to be working a program against AJ, so she should be fine. The belief is that Alicia Fox will be the one demoted, even though her character was gaining a little bit of momentum over the last couple of weeks.
July 5, 2014
There are rumors floating around that Paige simply is not a priority in WWE at the moment. Aside from management not giving her much of a story to work with and very little character development, the company also opted to remove her match against Alicia Fox this week from the Hulu version of Monday Night Raw. WWE does not deem it to be important enough to make the cut.
June 11, 2014
Now that she has successfully defend the WWE Divas Championship against Alicia Fox, it looks like Paige is moving on to another challenger. Based on a press conference video, it appears that the next challenger is Cameron. The move could be designed to help promote her new music. It could also be WWE filming footage for the upcoming season of Total Divas as well.
June 3, 2014
In a match designed to be the buffer between the two main event features at Payback 2014, Paige successfully defended the WWE Divas Championship against Alicia Fox via submission. Afterwards, Alicia continued her story line of going crazy whenever things do not go well for her. The audience reacted more to the post match antics than the actual match.
June 2, 2014
For story line purposes, WWE is reporting that Tony Chimel has suffered a concussion after being slapped by Alicia Fox, the diva who is currently working a story where her character is frustrated with all of the losing that she has endured over the last year. Alicia even mentioned on Twitter that she has sent him flowers. Chimel is actually fine.
May 15, 2014
Fans who watched Monday Night Raw saw Alicia Fox throwing quite a fit at ringside after losing her match to WWE Divas Champion Paige. The company also released a video on the app, where Alicia approached Stephanie McMahon and quit the company. Early rumors floating around are that Alicia, Damien Sandow and several other WWE stars are working a story line about lower level performers being frustrated.
May 12, 2014
Even though she defeated AJ Lee and is the current WWE Divas Champion, management is still using the same strategy on Paige as they do with other new performers. She has been working against lower level opponents like Aksana and Alicia Fox. That plan is not working out as WWE expected, as fan reaction has been a bit disappointing during the matches.
April 27, 2014
Even though she has not been featured all that frequently, Aksana has been booked for the upcoming tour of Europe. The company views her as a bit of a draw in that part of the world. The belief is that WWE will have her teaming up with Alicia Fox to take on Nikki Bella and Brie Bella at those shows. The Total Divas stars will likely go over in these bouts.
April 22, 2014
A video of the first title defense by former developmental star Paige, who worked a match against Alicia Fox on Monday Night Raw this week, since winning the WWE Divas Championship from AJ Lee the night after Wrestlemania 30.
April 16, 2014
With so much mystery surrounding her absence over the last several months, Layla El has finally made her return to WWE over the weekend at a live event in Waco. She teamed up with Alicia Fox to defeat Natalya Neidhart and Eva Marie in a tag team match. Some were under the belief that she would never be healthy enough to wrestle again, but that has now been proven false.
March 16, 2014
In an attempt to appease CM Punk, it appears that WWE gave AJ Lee the night off while the rest of the company was filming Monday Night Raw in Chicago. Management opted to do a random tag team match with Brie Bella, Nikki Bella, Aksana and Alicia Fox instead of building up a Divas Championship program for AJ at Wrestlemania 30.
March 4, 2014
As many of you already know, Miz is getting married to Maryse Ouellet in a couple of days, but he had one more assignment to complete for WWE. He had to represent the company at the Hall of Game Awards, and he brought along his lovely bride to be with him. Management also sent Alicia Fox to the event as well.
February 18, 2014
WWE posted this picture of Alicia Fox from her Valentine's Day photo shoot.
February 17, 2014
While many in the company are pushing for her to be elevated, it appears that Eva Marie is still struggling in the ring. Her taped match against Alicia Fox was removed from Smackdown this week. Several fans in attendance have stated that the segment was quite sloppy. Eva is expected to be heavily featured when Total Divas returns for its second season.
February 15, 2014
It appears that the eye injury suffered by Naomi Knight has worsened, as she did not work the WWE live event in Oakland this weekend. That left the inexperienced Cameron to work a single smatch against Alicia Fox. Naomi was injured during a match on Monday Night Raw against Aksana, which she still managed to finish.
February 8, 2014
If Nikki Bella and Brie Bella get their way, then there would be a tag team division for the divas. To prepare for that potential addition by WWE, Alicia Fox and Aksana have focused more on being a team. Alicia has even started to call themselves Foxsana.
February 6, 2014
Vince McMahon took Eva Marie, Alicia Fox, R Truth and Big Show with him on an overseas trip to visit the troops. The WWE stars are now returning to the United States to spend some time with their families for the holidays.
December 21, 2013
Vince McMahon, Eva Marie, Big Show, Alicia Fox and R Truth are set to take a special trip overseas to visit with the troops. WWE has not yet revealed which country they are heading to, and it's likely they won't do so until the stars return home.
December 18, 2013
Alicia Fox takes a break from the hectic WWE to ride bikes with her best friend.

Some gardeners do a lot more than just the lawn. John Rowland is a prime example of this. Gaby went to great lengths to keep her affair with John a secret. She once had to skip out of a party to mow the lawn in a dress and high heels. Landscaping never looked so good!

Amid being outnumbered again in St. Paul, NOM robodials for dollars
July 28, 2010
By Adam Bink
Today, despite the largest turnout of the tour, NOM was yet again outnumbered by pro-equality supporters today in St. Paul, Minnesota. Amid this news and other problems NOM has encountered overall on the tour, NOM is radioing in- or should we say, phoning in- for help.
We learned today that NOM, in advance of their planned stop in Des Moines this upcoming Sunday, is running robocalls in Iowa asking for matching funds to a $2 million "challenge grant" they have received, according to the Newton Independent. The funds will be used to "oust state lawmakers and judges who do not oppose same-sex marriages." We at NOMTourTracker.com have heard tell of the same calls being run in Wisconsin, as well, but no confirmation yet.
No doubt NOM chose, at least in part, these states to run calls in because it currently has some of the highest visibility among potential supporters in those places at this time. And no doubt NOM is using the tour and its publicity to help raise money for this challenge grant. Given the big dose of #FAIL that NOM has swallowed in stop after stop, it remains to be seen how effective that will be.
Folks in the comments, if you have received robocalls, or reports of them from family/friends/colleagues who have, please send details to email@example.com (NOMtour AT couragecampaign DOT org). Audio files or transcriptions are particularly helpful.

FIRST PRIZE: A pick of two of the above Pokemon.
SECOND PRIZE: A pick of one of the remaining Pokemon.
Good luck, and I hope my Pokemon will go to a good home! ^^
Here's the recipe since motherfuckers can't source their shit.
sweet baby jesus
I need to try and make this one day
Damn that looks tasty!! so cooking that this weekend
Maggie Menu
On the menu for Maggie tonight is puréed sweet potato, puréed brown rice, sprouted organic tofu, chia seeds, and digestive enzymes. Does she look excited? She is!
This dog does not look excited, this dog looks malnourished.
The diet you are feeding your dog places a huge burden entirely on the pancreas, forcing it to produce large amounts of amylase to deal with the starch, cellulose, and carbohydrates in plant matter. (yes, even with your supplements) The carnivore's pancreas does not secrete cellulase to split the cellulose into glucose molecules, nor have dogs become efficient at digesting and assimilating and utilizing plant material as a source of high quality protein.
When this stuff sits in the pet's intestine (yes even with your supplemented enzymes) it not only irritates the lining of the bowels but also provides the perfect warm, wet environment with plenty of undigested sugars and starches as food for bacteria.
I respect your choice in leading a vegan lifestyle, but please do not force this on your pet who does not recognize the difference, your dog absolutely needs a healthier diet or it is going to develop health issues and I guarantee you, will not live as long as it could otherwise.
side reminder that some dogs can have vegan meat and be completely nourished and content, loving and excited over their meals. See: Onision's two dogs, Dobs and Leelu. Actually, his name is Greg. He, his wife Lainey, and their two dogs are all vegetarian, and both Dobs and Leelu thrive. They look very well nourished, are energetic, very loving towards both Greg and Lainey, and they are fed vegetarian foods. Do dogs and cats eat meat? Absolutely. With the right nourishments, can they live, thrive, and live a happy and healthy life without it? You bet your sweet ass they can. Stop bagging on this person for feeding this to their dog. I may advise offering meaty treats to your pet, perhaps chop some chicken or throw in some cooked red meat, but your dog seems very okay to me. The meat would be an added bonus that may please your pooch and also provide additional protein and minerals. He/She seems healthy to me, and also seems interested in the food you're about to feed them. Do not let these people tell you that you're abusing your dog. If you choose to continue their diet in this way, I would definitely look more into different kinds of treats that would help with the digestion more, though I don't know too much in that area. Best of luck to both you and your puppy dog!
Hi hello you seem new to veterinary science and animal welfare in general so let me educate you on some topics that you are completely wrong about
1) "side reminder that some dogs can have vegan meat and be completely nourished and content, loving and excited over their meals."
This is an assumption. The assumption that dogs are omnivores remains to be proven, whereas the truth about dogs being natural carnivores is very well-supported by the evidence available to us and is understood by many science welfare groups, universities, and doctors of veterinary science.
Dogs and wolves share 99.8% of their mitochondrial DNA, those who insist dogs did not descend from wolves must disprove the litany of scientific evidence that concludes wolves are the ancestors of dogs. And guess what? The wolf is a carnivore. Since a dog's internal physiology does not differ from a wolf, dogs have the same physiological and nutritional needs as those carnivorous predators.
By stating otherwise you are ignoring and disregarding the work of contributing doctors, educators, and researchers who have compiled over 300 years of research and observations of the wild canine.
2) Do dogs and cats eat meat? Absolutely. With the right nourishments, can they live, thrive, and live a happy and healthy life without it?
No. But congratulations, you got one thing right, dogs and cats eat meat. Can they live a happy and healthy life without it? No they cannot. Cats and dogs health is largely dependent on the body's ability to digest and make use of the food that is a part of their natural diet that is supplemented from meats. By creating a lack of naturally produced (meat, not supplements) protein in the body of the animal, you are putting your animals at risk for something called protein-losing enteropathy. Although this condition can affect any breed or age of dog, some dog breeds are more likely than others. That being said, feeding your dog and cat an all vegan or vegetarian diet and expecting them to thrive on it is a gamble at best.
There is an entire array of problems that can arise from a lack of natural protein.
- Occasional bouts of diarrhea
- Chronic diarrhea
- Weight loss
- Lack of energy (lethargy)
- Difficulty breathing (dyspnea)
- Enlarged abdomen
- Legs and feet may be puffy or swollen (edema)
- Cancer in the intestines
- Infection in the intestines
- Bacteria such as salmonella(from rotting plant material)
- Fungal infection
- Intestinal parasites like hookworms and whipworms
- Inflammation of the intestines (inflammatory bowel disease)
- Food Allergies
- Stomach or intestinal ulcers
- Congestive heart failure
- Problems with the movement of lymphatic fluid out of the intestines (lymphangiectasia)
3) "He/She seems healthy to me, and also seems interested in the food you're about to feed them."
Hey, wrong again. This dogs nose is dried out, it is almost a pale white pink, this is an indication of dehydration or something more serious. The eyes are not clear and bright as they should be, they are red and puffy around the edges, the lining of the eyelids should be pink rather than red. This dog also has a blank stare on its face, and the nose is not pointing at the food, this means the dog is uninterested and is a sign of lethargy. This dog is begging for this meal to be something nutritious. I work at a highly respected veterinary hospital and I see this more often than you would think, I know how to tell when a dog looks malnourished, and so would you if you worked and studied every day in the field of veterinary medicine.
Next time I hope you will take the initiative to educate yourself on these and other important topics on the care for your animal, before you preach something you have no idea about.
As an owner of five dogs, I can say - FEED YOUR DOGS MEAT. IT'S GOOD FOR THEM.
i want more stories of boys growing up idolizing women
calling women their heroes, telling women they want to be just like them when they're grown up
men being fondly told anecdotes of how they're acting just like their lady mentors at that age
how everyone can see so much of those women in them
how they should be proud to carry that influence with them
ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ Here's a goofy little Bubbline comic because the Semester is over and it is time to dust off those comic drawing fingers and get back in the game.
These are some of the most important selfies of the year.
Its literally like shes wearing a mask
that aint even her face
its a mask of powder and well placed bronzer
she has a little penis on her nose in the third photo
a really excellent way to reduce anxiety is to pick up a new hobby. find something you're interested in, learn it, then use it as a healthy and productive way to cope.
So I've just noticed something mildly terrifying about the Pokémon X and Pokémon Y games. Specifically, with the Pokémon-Amie feature.
Here is my new favourite pre-evolution, Espurr:
Just look at that adorable little bugger! I have a massive soft spot for cats, and Gamefreak went and created something that looks like a bedraggled kitten that's been left out in the rain. I caught the hell out of the first one I saw. You've got a home now, little kitty. You've got a home now.
Oh, and what does the Pokédex have to say about Espurr?
It has enough psychic energy to blast everything within 300 feet of itself, but it has no control over its power. The organ that emits its intense psychic power is sheltered by its ears to keep power from leaking out.
Huh, that's kind of scary. No wonder it has its ears folded over! It's constantly trying to not murder everything around it! If you watch its battle animations, it does indeed lift its ears when you tell it to kill something.
This also translates to Pokémon-Amie, where you can pet it like a cuddly kitten instead of something that could remove you from existence with a sneeze. If your Espurr likes or loves you, it will get upset when you try to pet its ears. Makes sense, right? It's letting you know that you're doing the equivalent of juggling live grenades, and it wants you to stop.
However, if you have zero affection with it, it's totally fine with you petting its ears.
While you're letting the implications of that sink in, allow me to introduce you to Honedge, a badass Steel/Ghost sword. This is Honedge:
Now, what does the 'Dex say about this one?
Apparently this Pokémon is born when a departed spirit inhabits a sword. It attaches itself to people and drinks their life force. If anyone dares to grab its hilt, it wraps a blue cloth around that person's arm and drains that person's life energy completely.
Oh. Well then, that certainly explains why it gets angry when you try to play with its tassel. If you rub the tassel, Honedge will put up with that for all of two seconds before it jolts back, glares, and makes angry noises at you. It's doing its damndest not to kill you out of the goodness of its being, you asshole, the least you could do is not make its job harder.
…Except, wait, no. It doesn't get angry with you at all if it doesn't like you. If it has no affection for you, then it's happy that you're playing with the life-draining soul-sucking tassel. Seriously, you get the little hearts and everything. It will only get upset with you for touching the murder-tassel if it likes you.
Jesus, GameFreak. I mean, having the Pokémon get angry with you for being stupid makes total sense, and I applaud the attention to detail. It's the little things that make these games so much fun. But making the deliberate choice to specifically program the games so that the Pokémon only get angry with you for playing with death if they like you? Otherwise, they will have no issues with the fact that their trainer is essentially inviting Death in for tea, cakes, and an impromptu funeral?

600 vultures killed by elephant poachers in Namibia
As the illegal poaching of African elephants and rhinos reaches epidemic levels, other species are also suffering catastrophic losses as a direct result of poachers' behavior. A recent incident in July, where a poisoned elephant carcass led to the death of 600 vultures near Namibia's Bwabwata National Park, has highlighted how poachers' use of poison is now one of the primary threats to vulture populations. Poachers poison carcasses to kill vultures, since large flocks may give away the location of poaching activity, attracting the attention of law enforcement officials.
"By poisoning carcasses, poachers hope to eradicate vultures from an area where they operate and thereby escape detection," explains Leo Niskanen, Technical Coordinator, IUCN Conservation Areas and Species Diversity Programme. "The fact that incidents such as these can be linked to the rampant poaching of elephants in Africa is a serious concern. Similar incidents have been recorded in Tanzania, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Zambia in recent years".
African vultures are highly imperiled, and are under pressure from a range of factors, including habitat loss as well as poisonings. Drastic population declines over the last 30 years have resulted in many species being classified as threatened by the IUCN. On average, the number of vultures in West Africa has dropped by 42% during this time, with Rueppell's vulture (Gyps rueppellii) suffering losses of up to 85%….
The current decline may have serious ecological and human health consequences in the longer term, say IUCN experts. The loss of vultures would be keenly felt, because they play a critical role within an ecosystem. Their scavenging behavior does not endear them to people, but by quickly cleaning carcasses they limit the spread of disease to humans, domestic animals, and wildlife, as well as keeping populations of other species which spread disease in check. They also offer a valuable service to farmers, who would otherwise need to pay to dispose of diseased or injured livestock. Where vulture populations have recently crashed in India, increases in rabies and feral dogs can be directly attributed to the loss of these aerial scavengers.
Although poisoning by poachers is rife, farmers also use poison to reduce predator populations to safeguard their livestock, and this can severely impact vultures too. Kolberg sees limiting the use of poison in general as key to vulture conservation.

I have decided to do it. I AM Going TO HAVE CELLULAZE!
After years of being in great physical shape, It has been very hard for me to see cellulite appear where I have never had it. Just the thought of going to the pool or beach is upsetting.
Seeing is believing:
Being an Aesthetician for Dr. Bednar Plastic Surgery has given me first hand knowledge of what these patients have experienced. The before and after affects of cellulaze are simply amazing and I want it.
Stay tuned as I have this procedure in the coming days.
Cellulaze! - Charlotte, NC
I have decided to do it. I AM Going TO HAVE...
I have decided to do it. I AM Going TO HAVE CELLULAZE!
Tomorrow is the day! I am getting my Cellulaze...
Day One -post -op and feeling great! I had...
I had Cellulaze, Saturday, June 23rd @ 9am.
Waking up from surgery, I felt no pain or nausea (which was a big concern for me).
They had provided me with medication to counter any of those concerns.
I left the office in a compression garment, which I am to wear for 3 days.
I feel very large and swollen in the garment, but that is expected.
At home I slept very comfortably, most of the day. I was able to just relax and watch television without the feeling pain and discomfort.
Saturday night, I slept like a baby (propt up with pillows)
We will be posting before and after pictures soon!
Day 2-I went into work to treat a few patients...
After getting home I knew I needed rest and a much needed shower.
For the first time, I pulled off the garment and then the dressings. The dressings or pads have adhesive so they stung a bit more than I thought. ( I'm a bit of a baby when it comes to this stuff).
I handwashed my garment and threw it in the dryer, showered and by the time I was out, my garment was ready to wear! I suggest doing this so you don't have to be out of it for very long. Take it from me, you want the support of the garment!
Looking in the mirror, I couldn't tell a difference yet from the surgery (feel swollen and tired) but my husband swears he already can see less cellulite ..TMI ;)
Rest is needed but all in all, it has been a very easy surgery thus far.
Day 12 I feel great! I can already see results...
I do have soreness, simular to a heavy workout.
Correction to earlier blog-
I did say in a previous blog that I only had to wear my compression garment for 3 days and what I meant to say 3 weeks.
I am tired of wearing it but wouldn't think of taking it off for the sake of great results.
Back from a week's vacation at the beach! Great...
I feel like getting back into my regular workout schedule, as well.
Keeping you all posted:
I want to make sure you know that I am still sore...
I just want to make it clear that the healing is happening and takes some time.

Glad you had a fun vacation Lorriearc! Will you wear your garment when you start your workout routine back up, or are you planning to go without it?

I do feel some heat & tingling throughout the day (just on my outer thighs where the doctor administered the laser treatment.
At first, this surprised me that I'm feeling this now, more so than weeks prior, but this is just a normal healing response.
It is not in any way keeping me out of work or keeping me from resuming my regular daily life.
Also, I'm very happy to get the "go ahead" from Dr. Bednar to resume my excerise regimen.
As I leave for the beach tomorrow, I will carry my garment to wear off and on (probably at night) but I'm excited not to be taking all those dimples with me.

Congrats on your freedom from the garment! Please let us know how it goes when you start exercising. I hope you have a fantastic time at the beach!

Glad to hear you are feeling ok! Do you think the smoothing you are seeing is due to swelling? It seems that has happened with some of the other community members, then in the 3rd & 4th week the swelling goes away & the dimpling returns. :-/

Hoping all goes great - looking forward to hearing about your story!! It seems some ladies have ended up purchasing a second garment so they can wash one & wear the other. Are you planning to do this, or just go with the one?

In 1887, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior:
Have you ever felt like you were witnessing something big? That suddenly, even if in a small way, you were a part of something that was about to make a difference?
I had that feeling last week, and I hope many of you did, too, or will soon enough.
I had just walked outside the Taylorsville City Commission meeting, where, in almost a moment's notice, a state senator and a representative from our congressman's office had shown up to take part in the discussion about Taylorsville's levee.
The postgame handshake is one of the fundamentals of sports taught from the earliest ages. From the time kids are old enough to chew on their glove, put on an oversized football helmet, or use their short legs to chase down a soccer ball, the gesture at the end of the game where winners and losers meet and congratulate each other for a "good game" is almost universally observed.
One week out of every year is set aside as National Newspaper Week — a week when, on a national scale, we celebrate the importance of newspapers, their trustworthiness and their value in your lives.
This year's national theme is "Your community, your newspaper, your life."
Sound familiar?
During the other 51 weeks of the year, The Spencer Magnet's slogan is "Your community. Your newspaper." But we are also about "Your life."
America's theme today is 'force'
By John Shindlebower
This week, you'll notice the addition of a few lines onto our What's Happening disclaimer. In addition to pointing out that our free community listings are for public meetings, notices and events hosted by not-for-profit organizations, we've felt it necessary to point out a few things that, time after time, we get asked to list in that section.
This week we added the following: Events, contests and open houses hosted by businesses do not qualify for a listing in What's Happening.
As we move into fall and our schedules become full with our kids' homework and after-school activities, it's always a good time to focus on their safety, too. Much like the calls and e-mails I receive from constituents in need of the Veteran's Crisis Hotline, I also receive a number of calls and emails from constituents looking for information on the Amber Alert program, as well as the best way to get information on sexual predators in the community.

For those of us who wonder at perfectly good furniture put out for the trash (and even carry it home sometimes), this auction is for us! Proceeds benefit Housing Works. So, take a look and start bidding!! (Thanks for the tip, Livia!)

These are cool. The best is the send-up of Droog Design's milk bottles. Wary Meyers made it with milk cartons. I love the fur bike rack, too!
Absolutely- such smart ideas all around.

Emergency responders were called to the rear of the building in the 500 block of E. Baltimore St. downtown shortly after 6 p.m. for the shooting, said Anthony Guglielmi, a police spokesman.
"We're looking into the circumstances surrounding how and why the gun fired," Guglielmi said.
No further information was immediately available, he said.

TEAMS: Miami Heat
TEAMS: Miami Heat
She wasn't with him shooting in the gym, but it surely is costing Dwyane Wade a shiny penny or two in order to free himself from his marriage to his ex-wife, Siohvaughn Funches-Wade. If you want to be a single man with an attractive movie star standing next to you, it comes with a hefty price tag. How much exactly? Well according to Gossip Extra, Wade is paying his ex-wife a grand total of $25,000 a month. The bill doesn't stop there. Wade also pays an additional $10,000 a month to cover her living and traveling expenses. In addition, she was also awarded a lump sum payment of $1 million once the divorce became official last year. Is it cheaper to keep her? Well $35,000 a month plus the million in the bank…. That's not chump change I can say that much. Although with Wade cashing in as a NBA champion, I'm sure he won't be hurting for a few pennies. A trail is set for early June for the two to workout and determine the remainder of distribution of marital assets. Yes you read that correct. Wade is still on the hook and is expected to hand out more money come late June. The information surfaced after Funches-Wade submitted paper work to the courts asking to spend more time with her two sons. For the most part the details of their divorce remained unknown. However, those days are long gone now. I would ask if we could all get along, but its apparent the answer is no. Hopefully the court system can come up with a good resolution so these two can live peacefully even if it's apart.

Design solar cloth dryer
I believe solar cloth dryer (SCD) is equally important for saving electrical energy if not more in developed countries. Look how hot it is now outside, but all of us are still using electrical cloth dryers, double waste of energy (releasing heat to the house). Could SCD work like a rotating cage (net like) operating outside? so there is no hassle for using a large space or taking time to hang cloth.

edward long 100+Aug 1 2013: The military has used net bags for years. They keep the laundry separated. They are good for washing and drying. They serve as soiled laundry receptacles. They are lightweight, transportable, and durable. They are easily marked by a tag. They collapse ionto a very small space when not in use. They are sanitary. So, however your design develops hold-on to the idea of net bags! Also remember moving parts mean reduced reliability. Build a prototype ASAP! Go get'em!
