Celtics rookie Kelly Olynyk was named the biggest steal of the draft, according to NBA.com's 12th annual GM survey.
Olynyk had 27% of the GMs vote. Kings rookie Ben McLemore was 2nd (13.8%).
Most Celtics fans went "who?" when the Celtics acquired the Mavs 13th pick and selected Olynyk. But his versatility and shooting touch have been a pleasant surprise throughout the preseason.
KO also ranked 5th in voting for the rookie who will be the best player in 5 years.
Other notables in the survey:
- Rajon Rondo ranked as the 2nd best passer (behind CP3 and tied with Ricky Rubio)
- Rondo ranked 5th in highest basketball IQ
- Avery Bradley ranked 4th best perimeter defender
- Nets-Celtics trade tied 1st in most surprising move of the offseason
- Kevin Garnett is named the 2nd best leader behind Tim Duncan
If you have work projects to avoid, I recommend reading the 56 question survey.

FRENCH CREEK - A cat in the town of French Creek has tested positive for rabies after an unprovoked attack on two people.
The Chautauqua County Department of Health recently submitted a cat specimen from French Creek to the Wadsworth Laboratory in Albany for rabies testing. On Tuesday, Health Department officials were told the animal tested positive for rabies.
On Friday, the unprovoked cat bit two Chautauqua County residents. Neither person was seriously injured. Post-exposure rabies treatment was ordered to prevent the development of rabies due to the bite victims' direct contact with the rabies virus through the cat's saliva. Three more animals that were in contact with the cat are now being tested for rabies.
Because rabies almost always leads to death without treatment, exposure must be avoided. Post-exposure prophylaxis is also expensive, costing about $2,500.
"This unvaccinated cat displayed obvious 'furious' rabid behavior by attacking the victims,'' said Christine Schuyler, Chautauqua County public health director. "Often times we also see where animals have 'dumb' rabies and act sleepy and sickly. No matter how sad it is to see an animal in need, keep away. It's just not worth the risk to you or your loved ones to be exposed to rabies. The most effective way to protect yourself is to learn about rabies and how to reduce the risk of exposure to yourself and your pets."
Schuyler gave several tips to prevent people and their pets from rabies exposure. They include:
Do not approach or handle any wild or unfamiliar domestic animals.
Keep bats out of homes and other living spaces by sealing small openings and keeping unscreened doors and windows closed.
If people or pets may have had contact with a potentially rabid animal, such as a raccoon, bat, skunk, fox or stray cat or dog, secure the animal if possible utilizing a barrier to prevent any contact and contact DEC wildlife officials or the Health Department for further guidance.
Wash any animal bites and scratches immediately with soap and water and contact your health care provider immediately. Call the Health Department to evaluate your risk of rabies, including whether rabies post-exposure treatment is recommended.
Keep your pet's rabies vaccination up to date.
Do not feed wild or stray animals and discourage them from seeking food near your home.
Keep garbage cans tightly covered and avoid storing any food, including pet food, outside.
Teach children to never approach any unfamiliar animal, even if the animal appears friendly, and to tell an adult immediately if they are bitten or scratched.
Rabies is a disease of warm-blooded animals caused by a virus. Raccoons, bats, skunks and foxes are the common disease carriers. The virus is transmitted to humans and animals through saliva. It can enter the body from a bite, scratch, scrape or open cut. Two forms of rabies exist. An animal has "furious" rabies when it tries to attack and bite. When animals have "dumb" rabies, they are listless and sleepy and have varying degrees of paralysis. Wildlife infected with rabies act differently than expected. For example, animals usually seen out at night will be seen during the daylight hours.
State law requires that all dogs, cats, and domesticated ferrets over the age of four months be vaccinated against rabies. For more information about rabies and upcoming rabies clinics, call the Chautauqua County Health Department at 866-604-6789.

Hi RaeVynn and Sabine
Thanks for stopping by and for you kind words of encouragement I live alone, so it feels really good to get some positive feedback
The before pictures were taken on my return to Norway in January 2012 having spent two weeks over Christmas and New Year in England. The weather had been awful the entire time I was there. I spent two weeks eating all the wrong stuff (lots of grains/carbs and chocolate) it was as if I was trying to kick-start myself into action. I think I was also coming off some sleeping meds at that time so I think I managed to look worse in that period than I had for a long time.. I am still taken aback when I see those pics ( I was tempted to post nicer before pics from around March!)
I promised myself in Januray that during 2012 I would to try to get myself as close as I could, to being the person that I can be. For the first three months I photographed my progress every week. Over recent months Ive tried to get to the gym at least once a week. For most of the year I have kept carbs below 100 grams a day (and several periods below 50 grams a day). Ive also cheated a bit; had my teeth whitened and used the sun-bed/solarium at the gym
Oh, I turned 52 a month ago.
Thanks again; you made my week
Just a quick update.
After a four week vacation over Christmas and New Year, I really struggled to get back on track. In total, I went about 8 weeks with very little exercise; and I strayed a little from my regular diet
I think I have lost a little muscle but the fat remains hard to shift. The following pictures we taken last weekend. I think I need some advice on diet; how do I build bulk/muscle while reducing fat.

Starboard EVO 90 - Drake Crossover 24cm Fin
Do you know if the Drake Crossover fin, with 24cm, is appropriate
to a Severne Blade 5.0 sail with a Starboard Evo 90 (2007),
in a lake with chop condition and 25 kts ?
Yeah, it should work pretty good. That fin has a really solid drive to it and I think it would have what it takes to make the E90 perfom on choppy lake sailing.
Thank you very much, I was in doubt between 24 or 25 cm lenght, but maybe the 25 give me more chance to overpower with a 5.0...

The weekly recruiting blog poll results are in from last week.
The question: What is the primary focus of your recruiting metrics?
The results:
In addition to the obvious quality of hire, there were 3 top picks for recruiting metrics presented at the Spring Kennedy Information Recruiting Conference that I previously highlighted.
Check back next week or subscribe to the recruiting blog feed for a post on creating an effective metrics portfolio.
This week's recruiting poll: How would you rate your organization's adoption of social media in branding overall, and for recruiting?
Thanks for the survey on the metrics, I am really working on driving home the need for recruiters to measure their success and be accountable for the job that they have been hired to do, produce quality hires. Great blog Jason. Margo

You can now listen to a recording of the 911 call made by the suspect in the Lincoln Tunnel shooting scare on Tuesday.
Donald Wallace, 39, allegedly made a hoax phone call to 911 saying a sniper was near the tunnel in Weehawken. A tape of the 911 call has been released, CBS News reports, calling the recording "chilling."
The caller said, "First get your hospitals up. The DC sniper is here in your city ... Get all your police ready and captivate. It's a cold one and you better win. I have a DC sniper that's driving into your city right now. One part methyl chloride three parts nitrate," according to Weehawken police.
CBS says the caller could also have been saying, "menthol chloride, three parts titrate," but the former is a nonexistent chemical and "titrate" is a verb, not a noun, meaning to measure the quantity of one chemical in a solution by adding another chemical to the point where a reaction occurs.
The phoned-in threat triggered a massive police response near tunnel on Tuesday, while two separate incidents then prompted notification of the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force, officials said.
During the chaos, the tunnel was shut while Weehawken and Port Authority police searched for the caller but could not locate him.
During the drama, some bus passengers bound for Hoboken had to get off their buses and walk the rest of the way, according to officials.
At 11:50 p.m. on Tuesday, Wallace, was arrested at 47th Street and 11th Avenue in Manhattan by PAPD detectives, Port Authority Police spokesman Joe Pentangelo told The Jersey Journal. Wallace was charged with making a terroristic threat and creating false public alarm, he said. He made his first court appearance Thursday.
Go to NJ.com/Hudson to hear the 911 call.

AMHERST -- Mount Everett's run to a state Division III softball championship came up just a bit short on Thursday afternoon.
Morgan Parmenter's RBI single in the top of the eighth inning broke a tie and Central Massachusetts champion Assabet Valley went on to beat the Western Mass. champion Eagles 3-1 at the University of Massachusetts.
Jennfer Casavant's RBI double scored Parmenter with an insurance run. Parmenter's younger sister Maddy retired the side in order in the bottom of the eighth inning, touching off a big celebration.
"I want that to be us," said Mount Everett pitcher Alicia Bazonski, who watched the Aztecs celebrate.
Assabet Valley will play for the state title. The game is set for Saturday at Worcester State at 1 p.m.
Morgan DeGrenier's RBI single in the third inning scored Brooke Morehouse, giving the Eagles a 1-0 lead.
Bazonski and the Eagles nursed that lead until the top of the seventh when Maddy Parmenter tied the game with a run-scoring single through the drawn-in infield.
The Eagles had a chance in the seventh as Sam Hoover reached third with two outs, but Maddy Parmenter struck out Emily Coon to send the game into extra innings.

Session 51 - Interstellar Medium II.
Display session, Thursday, January 08
Exhibit Hall,
One of the main components of interstellar gas is the warm ionized material, with an average value of N_HII/N_HI \simeq 0.37 , although the value in the Solar vicinity is not well known. We can determine N_HII along sight lines out of the Galaxy by measuring the X-ray absorption column toward extragalactic objects, since the soft X-ray opacity depends mainly upon the column of both neutral and warm ionized material (mainly through the sum of the HeI+HeII columns). For the extragalactic absorption targets, we use the isothermal parts of galaxy clusters.
At low 21 cm column densities, (N_HI,21cm = 1 to 5 \times10^20 cm^-2) there is a tight correlation between N_HI,21cm and that determined from X-ray absorption. However, the mean value of N_H,X/N_H,21cm = 0.85 (for H/He = 0.10), which is smaller than 1.0 and therefore unphysical; for the mean Galactic N_HII/N_HI ratio, it would be 1.23. An N_H,X/N_H,21cm of 1.0 can be achieved for a He/H ratio near 0.09, a value inferred from emission line studies of Orion. For any sensible He/H ratios, our work implies that the N_HII/N_HI ratio is well below the mean Galactic value. This shows that N_HII along sight lines from the Sun cannot contribute significantly to the far infrared residual, which Puget et al. (1995) attribute to the primary star formation epoch of galaxies at cosmological distances.

Vatican diplomatic immunity ploy to evade prosecution in child abuse blocked by US Supreme Court

Foodfacts.com wants to help you learn more about what controversial food additives are being put into your foods. You've probably encountered many products containing sodium metabisulfite without even realizing it. Sodium metabisulfite preserves food and is used extensively in commercial wine making. It is a bleaching agent in the textile, pulp and paper industries. It is also used in the chemical, pharmaceutical, film and photographic industries, and even in water and sewage treatment plants. However, pure sodium metabisulfite can be quite hazardous.
Sodium Metabisulfite in Food
Sodium Metabisulfite is commonly used as a food preservative for dried foods, like potato chips, raisins and apples, as well as fruit concentrate juices. As a food product, the safe daily intake of sodium metabisulfite has been determined to be about .7 grams per kilogram of body weight. However, those with allergies to sulfites — often exhibited by rashes, hives and wheezing – might try to steer clear of this preservative altogether.
Inhalation of sodium metabisulfite irritates your respiratory tract. Symptoms include coughing and shortness of breath. In some individuals, sodium metabisulfite may cause an allergic, asthma-type reaction.
Ingesting pure sodium metabisulfite irritates your gastrointestinal system as it reacts with acid in your stomach by releasing sulfurous acid. Ingesting high amounts may cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pains, circulatory disturbance and central nervous system depression. A fatal dose is estimate to be 10 g for the average adult.
Skin Contact
When placed in direct contact, pure sodium metabisulfite can irritate skin causing redness, itching and pain.
Eye Contact
Similar to skin irritation, direct contact of sodium metabisulfite with your eyes can cause irritation, pain, stinging, tearing, redness, swelling, corneal damage and blindness. These effects may be irreversible.
Allergic Reactions
Sodium metabisulfite causes extreme allergic reactions in certain sulfite-sensitive individuals, resulting in broncho constriction, shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing, gastrointestinal disturbances, rapid swelling of the skin, flushing, tingling sensations and shock.
Other Names for Sodium Metabisulfite
Sodium pyrosulfite; Disodium Salt Pyrosulfurous Acid; Disulfurous acid, disodium salt, Pyrosulfurous acid, disodium salt; Sodium disulfite; Sodium Pyrosulfite; Sodium disulfite; Disodium disulfite

To the Editor:
I disagree with the Times' Sept. 4 editorial, "Set N.J. standard for (public meeting) commenters."
I find it mind-boggling that anyone who works under the umbrella of constitutional protection of some of our most prized rights — freedom of the press and speech — would propose the infusion of the state officials telling citizenry how to control speech and time allotment at meetings such as those of the Washington Township Board of Education. The board is considering enacting its own limits.
Is the issue of local control of such low importance that the Times feels that state regulators or lawmakers are appropriate to make these decisions?
I thought that the citizens of the Washington Township school district elected nine very bright individuals to the board who can deal with this issue of speech and time allotment. Our school board has two lawyers on it, and the board has a paid solicitor. Local discussion of this issue can end in a policy that fits our district's needs.
We do not need the "nanny state" to guide us. They are not the intelligentsia in the township.
What if the school boards of 603 individual school districts in New Jersey are unhappy with any state rules? These intelligent people, elected by their citizenry, are happy with local control. They'd be forced to submit to a one-shoe-fits-all set of regulations.
Standards and quality bring people to Washington Township. Citizens of each district know what is best for them. Keep the state out of our back yard.
A good civics course would enlighten those who need to refresh their understanding of local control and freedoms.

Series 33 Preview: Cubs at Giants
Giants catcher and reigning NL MVP Buster Posey is having another stellar season. (Photo by Ezra Shaw/GettyImages)
World Series champions two of the last three seasons, the Giants are in a tailspin this year. They're 17-30 since June 1, when they were 29-25, and now sit seven games back of the surging, first-place Dodgers. Even worse is that they've been getting blown out more and more in the month of July, as their starting pitching has been an utter disaster except for Madison Bumgarner (and Chad Gaudin's eight starts). The Giants offense has rarely been able to carry the team, but this year they are outplaying the pitching staff. Unfortunately for them, it hasn't been enough. That said, they've been much better at home, where their mound mistakes can be covered by both a spacious outfield and fielders who can roam it effectively.
HITTING: 3.9 Runs Scored/Game (10th in NL)
Catcher Buster Posey, the reigning NL MVP, is just a slight tick off last year's pace, but he's still a one-man wrecking crew. If not for Cardinals backstop Yadier Molina, Posey would easily be the best at the position. Only Posey, first baseman Brandon Belt and right fielder Hunter Pence have double-digit home runs this year. Still, when you take into account their spacious home ballpark, the Giants feature some well-rounded position players. Second baseman Marco Scutaro, 37, has extended his career since being traded to San Francisco, and he pairs an average glove with an all-fields contact bat. Shortstop Brandon Crawford, 26, looks more capable with the stick each year, though his calling card is some of the best range and glove work in the game today. And, when healthy, third baseman Pablo Sandoval still brings average-to-better work at the plate and in the field. The Giants carry three switch-hitters (Sandoval, Tony Abreu and Andres Torres) and three left-handed hitters (Blanco, Belt and Crawford), so manager Bruce Bochy has options aplenty to load up on the platoon advantage.
PITCHING: 4.5 Runs Allowed/Game (13th in NL)
The Cubs will face what was formerly known as San Francisco's top three—but is now a top one and two shells of greatness. After six straight seasons with a sub-4.00 ERA (and four of the last five below 3.00), Matt Cain takes the hill tonight with an ERA sitting squarely at 5.00. What was a consistent ability to use his fastball up in the zone to induce lazy pop-ups has become a concerning tendency to leave hittable pitches over the plate. Manager Bruce Bochy has limited Cain's usage of late (2.1, 0.2 and 5.0 IP over his last three starts) and thrown out a vague sense of "precaution." What we do know is that Cain is using his fastball less and his slider more than ever, to the diminishing effectiveness of both. Bumgarner starts Saturday's game, and the young lefty is pitching as well as ever. He has a career-best 2.93 ERA, .193 batting average against, and 25 percent strikeout rate, easily making up for an uptick in walks (to a still below average 7.1 percent). Cubs hitters have a tough assignment against Bumgarner. Righties will have to guard against cutters and sliders inside, while protecting against soft stuff away. Lefties will see fastballs located in all quadrants but will have to stay back on breaking pitches. And Bumgarner often pitches backward. Then there's Tim Lincecum, coming off a 148-pitch no-hitter followed by an eight-run, 3.2-inning start. After five straight stellar seasons to start his career—including two Cy Young Awards—the diminutive righty is in the midst of his second subpar season in a row. There's a good chance the Cubs will see plenty of the eight-man bullpen, a good-but-overworked squad capped by closer Sergio Romo and his physics-defying slider.
Samardzija gets the start in spring home opener
(Photo by Stephen Green)
Jeff Samardzija came into Spring Training last season just looking for a spot in the rotation. He comes to Arizona this year as one of the best young arms in the game and a possible Opening Day starter. On Sunday, he'll take the hill for the Cubs in their Cactus League home opener against the defending World Champion Giants.
That's quite a transformation for the 6-foot-5 former Notre Dame wide receiver.
As absurd as it may sound, Samardzija—yes, former million-dollar draftee turned minor league bust turned major league reliever turned frequently brilliant starter Jeff Samardzija—may be ready to take yet another step in his unusual career arc and become the piece that every team desires, a true font-of-the-rotation ace.
"Jeff was the one [in our starting staff] who matured as a pitcher [last year]," said pitching coach Chris Bosio. "[He went] from a pretty good pitcher to I think in that top five, maybe top six category as far as starters in the National League. I thought he had a very nice season, but we're expecting bigger and better things out of Samardzija this year."
That's high praise for the tall right-hander, as Bosio seems ready to put him in the same category as elite pitchers like Clayton Kershaw, Stephen Strasburg and Cole Hamels.
As outlandish as Bosio's claim may sound, there are signs Samardzija may actually deserve such acclaim. Conventional wisdom among scouts is that—unless you're Randy Johnson—you have to carry three plus pitches to be among the true number ones in baseball. Having always been blessed with one of the hardest fastballs in the game (an offering he commanded exceptionally well last season), Samardzija has finally honed his slider into an above-average pitch. He also developed a splitter that proved to be his go-to, put-away pitch when he got two strikes on an opposing hitter.
Last season, the Shark led the Cubs in games started, innings pitched, quality starts, strikeouts and complete games.
According to PITCHf/x data, of starters who tossed at least 150 innings, Samardzija was third in fastball velocity (behind Stephen Strasburg and David Price) at an average of 95.96 mph. But, naturally, you need to be able to do more than just throw a ball hard to succeed; a pitcher needs to convert that heat into strikeouts. Samardzija's 12.1 percent swinging strike rate and 24.9 percent strikeout rate ranked sixth and seventh (minimum 150 innings), respectively, in all of baseball.
If Samardzija can improve on his career low 7.8 percent walk rate from last season (the league average usually hovers around 8.0 percent), reduce his home runs allowed (he gave up 20 long balls in 2012) and develop that all-important consistency every pitcher needs, he'll be primed to take another big step in his development.
If and when that time comes, he'll officially earn the label "The Man." But the always confident Samardzija isn't one to shy away from the spotlight.
"That's what I signed up for," Samardzija said. "If you don't want those expectations for yourself, then you may as well go play somewhere else. That's just kind of a given. There's going to be pressure, and there's going to be a lot riding on what you do."
The Cubs will run out most of their projected starters today at HoHoKam against Giants righty Matt Cain. Cain is coming off another exceptional season, which saw him compile a 16-5 record and a 2.79 ERA in 32 starts. That was good for sixth in the 2012 NL Cy Young voting.

TULSA (AP) - Homicide is the leading cause of gun-related deaths of youth in Oklahoma.
Of 23 child and teen-age victims of guns, during the period between April 1, 1999 to March 31, 2000, the Oklahoma Medical Examiner's office ruled 11 deaths as homicides, seven as suicides and five as accidental shootings, a study by the Tulsa World found.
The study took in records from law enforcement agencies, the Child Death Review Board and the Medical Examiner's Office.
In 13 of the 23 deaths, the firearm came from either the victim's home or a friend's home. All but two of those were found to be unintentional or suicides.
Two of the homicides, which involved siblings accidentally shooting each other, were found to be unintended.
Suicide is the third-leading cause of death for Oklahoma youth 10 to 19 years old.
Preventing gun deaths in youth is the focus of the Million Mom March which will be held Sunday in 57 cities across the nation including Tulsa.
In Tulsa, two groups will march on Mother's Day promoting gun-related issues.
Oklahomans for Gun Safety is pushing for a child-access prevention law that would require gun owners to store their weapons so that children could not get at them.
Citizens for a Safer Oklahoma will march in support of gun owners' rights. The group opposes new restrictions on firearms and more rigid enforcement of existing gun laws.
One instance illustrates both sides of the issue.
An argument between two teen-age boys over the sale of a car became deadly when the seller used a gun to settle the score.
Artie Burton IV had purchased the car from high school classmate Courtney Crenshaw. But Burton reportedly became unhappy with the car and wanted his money back from Crenshaw.
In the ensuing debate, Crenshaw allegedly kicked in the door of Burton's apartment and shot him four times as he took refuge in a closet. Burton was unable to fire a stolen gun that he kept in the closet.
The presence of a gun turned what could have been a fistfight between two teen-agers into a killing. But the outcome could have been different if Burton had been able to reach his gun.

Fox Business's Charlie Gasparino gets a wild scoop on Stevie Cohen, whose SAC Capital pleaded guilty to mass insider trading earlier this month and agreed to pay a $1.8 billion fine.
So New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, a frontrunner for the GOP nod in 2016, personally invited his friend to the governor's victory party:
Cohen was among the roughly 2,400 people who attended Christie's victory bash at the Asbury Park Convention Hall, as well as a private dinner Christie had with a handful of supporters, according to people close to Cohen with direct knowledge of the matter. Cohen was one of the few who received a personal invitation from the governor to attend, these people say…
Christie and Cohen are said to be friends; one person with direct knowledge of the matter said the New Jersey governor had heard that Cohen was depressed amid the legal pressure, including last week's guilty plea, and "told Steve to get off his couch" urging Cohen to attend his victory celebration.
Gasparino reports the "the invitation came just hours after Manhattan US Attorney Preet Bharara announced a plea deal with Cohen's hedge fund that includes the largest fine in the history of insider-trading cases, a guilty plea and an agreement by SAC to end its business of managing money for outside clients."
Just amazing.
— Dean Baker catches The New York Times perpetuating the zombie lie that the euro crisis was caused by governments overspending.
The Times:
"The announcement, by Olli Rehn, the European Union's commissioner for economics and monetary policy, is aimed at keeping tighter reins on national finances to stave off the kind of overspending that fed a crisis that nearly destroyed the euro."
In short, in the real world, the euro crisis is about a collapsed housing bubble leading to a severe recession. Te budget deficits were an outcome of this collapse…
In fact, of the current group of euro crisis countries, only Greece, and arguably Portugal, had a major deficit problem prior to the collapse. Italy's deficits were not especially large and Cyprus, Ireland, and Spain all had budget surpluses on the eve of the collapse.

MILLVILLE — Due to the overwhelming request Levoy Theater officials have has from their supporters, the Board of Directors is giving back a piece of history to its patrons.
In the form of a brick.
Theater officials announced recently that they are selling a limited number of 1912 bricks from the facade that collapsed Jan. 3 of this year.
"When the partial collapse of the Levoy occurred, we received an outpouring of response in support of the project," said Lauren Van Embden, chairwoman of the theater. "The public seemed to feel the loss of the building very deeply and a new found connection to the Levoy was born out of memories and experiences each individual had there."
Levoy bricks will be available at the following locations:
*Riverfront Renaissance Center for the Arts, 114 N. High Street.
*Guilty Pleasures, 202 N. High Street.
*Steelman Photographics, 315 N. High Street.
*Apron Strings Bakery, 400 block of High Street at intersection with Oak Street.
*LaBottega of Art, 508 N. High Street.
In exchange for the brick, theater officials are asking for a minimum $10 donation to be made to support the reconstruction of the theater.
More than two dozen bricks were sold Thursday and dozens more will be available at Third Friday.
Each brick is stamped with the Levoy name and the year 1912, along with a number indicating the brick's authenticity.
Bricks also come with a certificate of authenticity from Joseph Pierce Sr., founding member of the Levoy Theater Preservation Society.

Skip to comments.Obama's Germany Address a Little Anti-Christesque. (Vanity)
Posted on 07/24/2008 4:38:59 PM PDT by no dems
Did anyone notice that when Barack Hussein Obama spoke to 200,000 people in Germany today (Thursday) that he addressed them as "Citizens of the world.....this is our hour"?
He very eeriely, sounded just like I've always imagined that the Anti-Christ would sound when he makes his world debut.
I'm not saying he is; I don't think he meets all the qualifictions. Just my observation.
Granted. So is decaf. And a nice walk on a sunny summer afternoon.
Free beer, brats, and rock/reggae music.
Right ! now ! ha ha ha ha ha I am an antichrist I am an anarchist Dont know what I want but I know how to get it I wanna destroy the passer by cos i I wanna be anarchy ! No dogs body Anarchy for the u.k its coming sometime and maybe I give a wrong time stop a trafic line Your future dream is a shopping scheme cos i I wanna be anarchy ! In the city How many ways to get what you want I use the best I use the rest I use the enemy I use anarchy cos i I wanna be anarchy ! The only way to be ! Is this the m.p.l.a Or is this the u.d.a Or is this the i.r.a I thought it was the u.k or just Another country Another council tenancy I wanna be an anarchist Oh what a name Get pissed destroy !
The double header uber-favorite band free rock concert before he spoke...
(several FR links to it)
He could advertise to give away beer, hotdogs, and rock music performances at an abandoned field in any rural area of America and at least that many freeloaders would show up for the event.
Obama is going to "empower" "W".
You betcha.
Are we really certain that the dear old Associated Press didn't use one of those people fill-in programs. Or maybe used a photo from an old soccer lovin' crowd.
I'm not trusting the photo-shopping, plagiarizing media these days. Can you tell?
180 degrees from all of Barry O's arrogance is John McCain who went to New England to talk to people, not put on a media show. So he only had one reporter show up at the airport to meet his plane. Did McCain cancel his trip for lack of interest?
No, indeed. I'm warming up to McCain more and more as I see him compared to the media freak show that's going on in Barry O land.
You know, I try to walk one to three miles each summer evening; for real. But, thanks to Dolly in the Gulf, no walk today.
I'll consider switching to decaf. I already drink the "half caf" that has half the caffeine.
THE Antichrist is the final expression. These precursors, as individuals, manifest various characteristics of the final expression, which is why we are called to try the spirits.
I am lucky enough to live in the greatest country in the history of the world- bar none, nothing else comes close. I want a president, and a congress that works to keep us the greatest. I have no objection to helping other counties. In fact,I think we're obligated to introduce and teach other lands the benefits of capitalism and democracy. I want a president whose main concern is maintaining our greatness while pulling other countries up to our level. I don't want a leader whose trying to drag us down to theirs.
Please forgive my ignorance re: your post; but, am I missing something here?
I had it on BBC this morning they were saying something like 80% of them would vote for Obama.
Daniel 11:32
"With flattery he will corrupt those who have violated the covenant, but the people who know their God will firmly resist him."
And know for something completely different...and seeing as we are referring to Obama, I think this is appropriate.
After all they are celebrating "O"ktoberfest in Germany:
(Go to .51 for all the fun).
No, but I did smell sulphur.
yes...the pic I tried to link to was blocked.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! And see my last post.
Very good, my friend. You know The Word; I can tell.
Got it! Thanks.
I posted yesterday that seeing him at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem gave me the willies....
The guy really creeps me out.
What Obama doesn't realize is that America doesn't want our President to be a Citizen of the World. We want America's Commander in Chief to be a Citizen of the United States. And that's why he's going to lose.
I love my Brit cousins but they do not understand the Germans are just expressing their desire for a weaker America . 80% would vote for him to be president of the U.S.A. , he could not get 5% as President of the Father Land .
Perhaps there is a whiff of it, but he's definitely not the actual AC.
As I read Daniel 10-11, long before the AC appears, there is a long, detailed series of back and forth wars between Europe (the North) and the Middle East (the South).The beginning of that sequence is a massive conquering campaign by the Fourth King of Persia/"Ram", kicking off these back and forth wars that would appear to last generations before the actual AC.
A wannabe anti-Christ?
They had two very popular (in Germany)bands perform before he spoke.
**He very eeriely, sounded just like I've always imagined that the Anti-Christ would sound when he makes his world debut. **
Did he follow it up by singing the Communist International?
Yup. Obama is just a conditioner. He's not fooling enough people. "The very elect"
They had two very popular music acts on before him.

ROCKFORD – Ideally, basketball teams want to be playing their best basketball at the end of the season.
That is the case for O-K Red rivals Rockford and Grandville who concluded the regular season Friday in a game that went down to the wire with the host Rams coming away with a 50-43 victory.
The win enabled Rockford to secure a piece of second place in the final O-K Red standings while Grandville finished fourth overall in the league. The game also enabled both teams to carry momentum into next week's state tournament that begins on Monday.
"I thought this was a real hard-fought game," Rockford coach Jessica Yonkers said. "It was definitely a battle and my kids did a great job of executing in the fourth quarter."
Rockford's executing was at its best at the end of the game when the Rams outscored Grandville 9-2 in the final minutes of the game. The run broke open a game that was tied at 41-41 and enabled the Rams to wrap up the regular season with a 10-9 overall record and 6-4 league mark.
Rockford opens state tournament play Monday when it travels to Lowell.
"There are some very good teams in our district but we are confident," Yonkers said. "We've been improving all year. We've come to compete every night and if we do that next week we have a chance. We are rebounding much better than we were at the beginning of the season on both ends of the floor."
Senior center Lauren Imhoff leads the Rams in rebounding while junior Logan McCane leads the Rams in scoring at 14 points per game.
Grandville finished the O-K Red season with a 5-5 record and an 8-12 overall mark.
"I thought it was a great game," Grandville coach Charlie Kleinheksel said. "Both teams played hard. I thought our girls played hard and they stayed to our gameplan."
Grandville opens district play on Monday when it faces Jenison at Jenison.
"We are playing as good as we have all season, Kleinheksel said. "I think we are ready for the tournament. The key for us it that we have to make sure that we defend consistently and take care of the basketball. The girls are really playing well together and the team has come together and has learned how to play as a team."

Mayor's meeting series still being planned
PARKERSBURG – Mayor Bob Newell said he still plans to hold town meetings this fall, but hopes to have two commissions up and running before the series begins.
In June, Newell said three town hall meetings would be held in September and dates, times and locations would be announced after the beginning of the new school year.
The meetings afford residents a chance to speak to Newell and other officials about concerns and to receive updates on projects and changes throughout the city. The meetings were not held last year because it was an election year.
On Tuesday, Newell said those meetings have yet to be scheduled.
"These meetings are always well-received," Newell said, " but I want to have them after I get the current commissions appointed."
Also in June, Newell announced he would re-activate two commissions, one on crime and delinquency, the other on parks, which were established more than 30 years ago through city ordinance but have not been in use in recent years.
Newell said the intention is to have the Advisory Commission on Crime and Delinquency and the Advisory Commission on City Parks represented by residents members from all nine city districts, but he has had difficulty in filling those slots.
Newell said it was especially important to have the crime commission appointed because he wants to use the meeting series as a kickoff for the commission meetings.
"The plan is to have the commission meet once a month in a new location each time, preferably in the evening when residents can attend," he said. The mayor's meeting series "is just an easy way to roll out that this commission is up and running."
Newell said he also hoped to have the final report on the baseball feasibility study being conducted by consulting group AECOM. Newell said the report, which was based from business and resident surveys, has been completed, but city officials asked for the report to be expanded and clarified before presenting it to the public.
Newell said he expects the report to be available within the next several weeks.

The West Jersey Football League had an interesting weekend last weekend. A couple of divisions were just about decided while a few are now wide open.
Fourteenth-ranked Woodstown High School got another solid performance in a comeback from back-up quarterback Jared Carney. He ran for 75 yards and a pair of touchdowns as the Wolverines scored 20-unanswered points to knock off Gloucester Catholic and assure at least a share of the Diamond title.
In the Classic, Dylan Cummings led Pennsville with a pair of TDs in the air and a pair on the ground to give the Eagles at least a share of that title.
In the National, Triton upset Clearview behind four touchdowns from Faheem Boyd. He ran for 319 yards and three scores, adding another on defense. The win opened the door for No. 10 Kingsway in the division, and the Dragons knocked it down by defeating Pennsauken, 55-19. Justin Morrison scored three TDs on the ground, including one from 75 yards out, to lead the Dragons.
Things also got interesting in the American when No. 3 Cherokee defeated No. 5 Eastern. With No. 7 Williamstown getting three touchdowns from Marques Little and two from John Chamberlin to defeat Lenape, the Braves, Vikings and Chiefs are all tied at 3-1.
• RECORD SETTING: When Penns Grove defeated Salem back in Week 4, the Red Devils made a little school history. The win was their 16th straight, which set a school record. The record was previously 15 set back in 1962-63.
The 16-game win streak is not the longest unbeaten streak in school history however. The Red Devils went 24 games without a loss in the early 60's, but a tie with Delsea caused the win streak to end in the middle.
• THE BRIGHT LIGHTS: For the first time since 1991, Clayton will play a Friday night home game under the lights. The Clippers have installed temporary lights for this season as they look for a more permanent solution.
• RUNNING TO THE TOP: Gloucester running back Ben Boyer became Camden County's all-time leading rusher last Friday night when he ran for 147 yards against Wildwood.
He brought his career total to 4,375 yards, topping the old mark of 4,322 set by Bishop Eustace's Mike DiMaggio in 2006.
Boyer also ran for three touchdowns in the game, bringing his career total to 53. He is now just nine behind Paul VI's Jon Grimes and Eatern's Adam Taliaferro for that Camden County record as well.
• COLONIAL CONQUERED: The Colonial Conference could have its champions by the end of the weekend, and they could both be undefeated.
In the Liberty Division, No. 6 West Deptford will host Haddon Heights. With the win, the Eagles will finish their division schedule with a record of 5-0 and the title. Paulsboro has the same opportunity in the Patriot Division when they head to Audubon.
No matter what happens this weekend, each team has already clinched at least a share of the title.

It's been crash central in Oregon since the snow showers hit, blasting the region.
Oregon State Police said Saturday at mid-day that since Thursday, troopers have responded to about 600 accidents. Most have resulted in dents and minor injuries but a female passenger died on Friday on Interstate 84 near Rooster Rock when the vehicle she was in slid in icy conditions and slammed into a tree. The man who was driving suffered serious injuries.
And besides the accidents, troopers have helped about 900 motorists needing assistance.
It's dangerous out there: Stay home, if possible. If you do have to drive, be extremely careful. Plan extra time for traveling.
And for the latest hazard information, check the Oregon Department of Transportation's website.

2009 iSonic 86 vs 94
Hi Kevin,
I've been thinking of buying iSonic 94 or 86. I have Tabou Manta 108L. and 6.5 m GTX (and 5.6m Remedy). I'm 66 kg and I surf in Alacati. You know the conditions here very well I watched you this year when you came for PWA. My worry is windy days in Alacati is not so often. Generally 18-22 knots. We dont see 27-30 knots too much. What would you suggest for 18-20-22 knots?
I also would like get your opinion about fins. I read at the forums that drake fins are not so good for the iSonic.
For Alcati I would go with the 94. A bit bigger as it is pretty flat there. I think it will help you out if you get some debiochet fins. They are really good.
Thanks Kevin,
It really helped me. I was thinking the 94 but wasn't sure. Your suggestion made me certain. Thanks for the fin info aswell...
Which fin for is94
Hi Kevin,
I know that iSonic 94 comes with drake 340. Which fin should I buy for use with 5.6 m. Would 32cm (Deboichet sl4) be allright?
YEah the Deb SL 4 would work great!!
Considering my light weight, I think it would be better to go with SL4 30 cm.
I have ordered the 94. Look forward to use it next season :(
Great. I would maybe go with 32cm sl4.
I've just read from the ask our team forum that "the SL5 line for the iSonic 87 are really amaising..." What is the difference between sl4 and sl5? and I'm a little bit confused about the size. For my weight and 5.6 m wouldn't 30 cm be better? Thnx..

Peter Toscano, 20, and his father, Gerald Toscano, 47, face multiple charges connected to the Oct. 19, 2008 slaying of Jordan Voorhees, 22, formerly of Bloomfield, said Paul Loriquet, Essex County Prosecutor's Office spokesman. The victim, the cousin and nephew of the suspects, had been living in the Toscanos' home for six months before the died, Loriquiet said.
Investigators said Peter Toscano allegedly fired multiple shots killing his cousin at his Smallwood Avenue home. Gerald Toscano allegedly assisted his son in removing Voorhees' body from the home.
Detectives believe that the father and son disposed the body in the nearby marshes of the Meadowlands in Kearny and dumped the body.
Voorhees' body was never found, despite a nearly two-month search by the New Jersey State Police, Belleville Police Department, Kearny Police Department, Bergen County Sheriff's Office and the Essex County Prosecutor's Homicide Squad.
A weapon was recovered at the home. The Essex County Prosecutor's Crime Scene Unit seized the truck and rowboat and other evidence. The investigation is continuing.
In the indictment that was returned Friday, Peter Toscano was charged with murder, conspiracy to commit murder, unlawful disturbing and concealing human remains, hindering apprehension or prosecution, obstructing the administration of law, tampering with physical evidence, and two weapons offenses. He is currently being held at the Essex County Jail in lieu of $750,000 bail.
Gerald Toscano was charged with conspiring to commit murder, unlawful disturbing and concealing human remains, hindering apprehension or prosecution, obstructing the administration of law, and tampering with physical evidence. He is currently out on bail of $75,000.

Halley O'Brien brings us her SnoCountry video snapshot from Loon Mountain in northern Vermont, 265
crow Loon-flying miles north of Newark, N.J.
Here is Loon's Mountain Report Summary for today:
Today may be the first full day of spring, but don't tell that to the 11 inches of powder that blanketed the mountain earlier this week. We're enjoying mid-winter conditions here at Loon, with exceptional late-March skiing and riding on 60 of 61 trails today. With 98% of the mountain now open, you'll have plenty of soft corduroy to shred at first chair, and you won't have any trouble finding leftover powder stashes in Upper Walking Boss Woods, Bucksaw, or any of the other tree skiing areas that reopened yesterday.

Oregon State Senator Betsy Johnson once called Freel "The most powerful voice on the North Coast of Oregon" as a nod to the veteran broadcaster's reach and influence as the morning news anchor and commentator on KAST AM 1370. Tom Freel has gained the trust of generations of listeners as the morning voice of common sense and no nonsense on Astoria's heritage radio station.
Tom Freel began his radio career in Portland, Oregon on News Talk KYXI AM 1520 where he learned the broadcast profession in a fast-paced metro newsroom environment. He soon earned his place as a reporter and a news anchor. Tom's daily afternoon drive feature "BREAKTHROUGH" on science and technology innovations in the Northwest garnered awards from the Associated Press and the Oregon Association of Broadcasters.
Tom's coverage of a jetliner hijacking and subsequent crash in a northwest Portland neighborhood in 1979 was carried on CBS radio nationwide and was lauded by CBS News Executive Vice President Emerson Stone as "Invaluable to CBS news at a tough time of the day and far from any network bureau" Tom became a regular contributor to the network news coverage. In 1980 his coverage of the eruption of Mt. St. Helens won best coverage in metro Portland from Associated Press.
Tom moved his family to Astoria to take over programming duties on KAST AM and KAST FM in 1981. Held that position until the stations were sold and was named Operations Manager for New Northwest Broadcaster's Astoria Cluster in 2002. He was responsible for programming and day-to-day staff operations of seven radio stations serving Clatsop and Pacific counties. Under his direction, the KAST 1370 news team won various coverage awards from the Association Of Oregon Broadcasters for special series reports and website coverage. In 2007 Tom won "Best News Coverage" and "Best Breaking News" awards for coverage of a devastating multi-day wind storm that cut off Northwest Oregon and Southwest Washington from the rest of the world. The Mayor of Astoria made an official proclaimation recognizing the vital importance of Tom's personal contribution to that coverage when KAST was the only media source broadcasting emergency information 24 hours for days.
In 2009 KAST won recognition for it's outstanding community service from the National Association of Broadcasters. In 2010 Tom served as Vice President and General Manager for NNB Radio Astoria. It was the capstone experience of his career. The stations were sold to Ohana Media Group and Tom stepped down from the manager's post to go back to doing just those things he truly enjoys as News Director and Morning Host. In 2014 Tom was promoted to KAST Program Director in addition to directing the efforts of the news department that provides content to the other radio stations and social media connections in the Astoria group.
Tom Freel introduced the concept of local talk radio to the lower Columbia audience with the creation of "Coast Watch Call In" in 1986 and the program has provided an important community forum. In 1994 Tom introduced the concept of a full time news and talk station in a small market with a strong emphasis on local news. Freel is the person other talk show hosts call for his opinion on issues affecting the coasts of Oregon and Washington. He has been a guest commentator on the Lars Larson show on several occasions over the years. In 2003 Tom Freel was honored by the Oregon Association of Broadcasters as "Oregon Heritage Broadcaster of The Year", recognizing what was then over 20 years on the air on KAST.
When the station facilities moved into the city Of Warrenton in 2009 the city commission welcomed Tom with a special recognition noting his many years of providing unbiased news coverage and providing a community forum on his morning talk program and welcoming him and his staff.
Tom has served as the President of the Astoria Lions Club and went on to serve Lions Clubs International as Oregon District Governor for the charitable organization in 2003 and has served on a number of non-profit boards for organizations including the American Cancer Society North Coast Chapter, Pioneer House Homeless Shelter, and Board of Trustees for the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.
Tom and Linda Freel have been married for 43 years and have two children and two grandchildren to spoil.

Heading into the 2014 NFL Draft on May 8, we'll be profiling some of the top players that project to be a good fit with for the New England Patriots. The series continues today with Georgia Tech linebacker Jeremiah Attaochu. Click here to see the full series.
Jeremiah Attaochu
School: Georgia Tech
Position: Outside linebacker
Height: 6-foot-3
Weight: 252 pounds
Georgia Tech outside linebacker Jeremiah Attaochu is relatively new to the game of football, as he starting playing the sport in high school. But after a solid pro day and an excellent career at Georgia Tech (31.5 career sacks, school record), the Nigerian-born outside linebacker has shot up the draft boards and is arguably one of the best pure pass rushers in the 2014 draft class. At only 21 years old, Attaochu is still somewhat raw, but his effort jumps off the tape and his motor off the edge is unmatched.
Prospect Breakdown
When watching Attaochu, there is one thing that jumps out: his extremely high motor off the edge. Attaochu is one of the class' top pass rush talents and there is not a play that he takes off throughout any game.
Attaochu is built and plays like a pass rushing 3-4 outside linebacker. He has a lightning-quick first step off the edge coming out of a two point stance and plays much better standing up. Attaochu was injured for the NFL scouting combine. But at his pro-day he ran a 1.55 10-yard split -- which would have been the fastest out of all of the linebackers in the combine -- on his unofficial 4.58-second 40-yard dash. Attaochu explodes off the edge and consistently finds a way to get to the quarterback. He is extremely active and uses his body very well to dip and bend around opposing tackles for sacks.
While Attaochu primarily worked as a standup edge rusher in a 3-4, he can still work out of a three-point stance. Here he is against Georgia using his quickness off the line, beating the tackle inside for the sack. Here is Attaochu lined up in a three-point stance and he stunts inside the A-gap for another sack against Clemson.
Some of his weaknesses show up when team run directly at Attaochu, whether it be standing up in a 3-4 or in a three-point stance as a 4-3 end. For what he brings as a pass rusher, Attaochu lacks in physicality against the run. If he wants to be anything more than a 3-4 rush outside linebacker, Attaochu will have to be more physical at the point of attack. Far too many times he got knocked back off the ball against the run, something that he will have to improve upon to be an every down defensive player in the NFL.
Although he may not do well when the ball is being run right at him, Attaochu's motor is for real. He does not give up if the play is going the other way and he will make plays across the field in pursuit. Here, Attaochu shows great play recognition on the screen pass coming his way and although he does not make the play, he slows down the runner enough for his teammates to clean up the play.
Where would he fit in New England?
Attaochu fits the mold as a prototypical 3-4 pass rushing outside linebacker. Right now he would not fit the Patriots' base 4-3 defense but he could be used as a pass rush specialist on third down, kicking Chandler Jones inside to create more of a pass rush. Belichick would love the effort that he puts out on every play, as he never gives up and fights until the whistle blows on every down.
Jones and Rob Ninkovich played roughly every snap in 2013 and they were not able to generate pressure later in the season when fatigue set in. Attaochu is not an every down 4-3 defensive end but he could help with the pass rush in obvious pass situations. If the Patriots were to select Attaochu, expect him to gain more muscle mass to transform into more powerful, every down player coming off of the edge in Belichick's defense.
Where could the Patriots draft him?
The arrow has been pointing up for Attaochu and it looks like he will be a late first or early second round selection in the 2014 NFL Draft.

Eric J. Reed, 44, of Pennsauken, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Renée Marie Bumb in Camden federal court to an information charging him with one count of dealing firearms without a license and one count of transferring a firearm to a previously convicted felon.
Between May and Aug. 15, 2012, Reed bought 14 firearms from Pennsylvania gun shops and gun shows, which he then transferred for resale to his nephew, Ammie Steward, aka "Beav," aka "B," 37, of Pennsauken, a previously convicted felon who served a substantial prison term for manslaughter, according to documents and statements made in court.
Steward then resold the firearms, according to authorities.
Reed purchased the firearms in Pennsylvania after fraudulently obtaining a Pennsylvania driver's license. The 14 firearms included five pistols, seven handguns, and two rifles. Steward sold them to a witness cooperating with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Reed also admitted to using a power tool to obliterate the serial numbers on the 14 guns.
A number of the firearms were sold along with ammunition magazines, and seven of the guns were sold along with high-capacity magazines, according to prosecutors. On at least one occasion, Reed purchased and gave to Steward for resale a firearm (a Kel Tec PLR-16 .223-cal. pistol) along with a box of ammunition. On a separate occasion, Reed purchased and then transferred to Steward for resale a rifle that contained a bayonet. All 14 weapons are now in the custody of law enforcement.
On Dec. 19, Steward, pleaded guilty before Judge Bumb to one count of dealing firearms without a license and one count of possession of a firearm by a previously convicted felon. He is scheduled to be sentenced March 25.
The illegal dealing count to which Reed pleaded guilty carries a maximum potential penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The transfer of a firearm to a previously convicted felon charge carries a maximum potential penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Sentencing is scheduled for April 22.Contact the South Jersey Times at 856-845-3300 or at email@example.com Follow @theSJtimes

Ping Jill - thyroid (thyroid down stroke)
Co. I was going to try and call them last week, but my son is trying to
give his mom a stroke. The company that he works for, sent him out to
deliver a septic tank. The truck had no brakes. He found that out when
he went down a hill. They life flighted him to a hospital 45 miles away,
thinking he had enternal injuries. Thank God he is fine. And from the
looks of the truck, he's lucky to be alive.It's amazing how your life
problems are easy to forget, when someone you love is in trouble. Hugs
back to you J, Jill

Ping Jill - thyroid (thyroid cancer)
Phew ! What a relief to hear your son's okay.
Good thing the septic tank was empty eh? <g>
Does this get him in trouble? Is he the one supposed to inspect the truck he
drives (or a company mechanic)?
Jill, you must be exceptionally strong and patient.
Calling thyroid cancer a "life problem"...well, it is, but geez, don't you
feel some urgency to get that injection?
Hope you'll be able to contact them this week, if for no other reason then
I'll stop pinging (read "nag") you :-)

Ping Jill - thyroid (thyroid job)
Yes a big relief. The tank empty, weighs over 3 tons. My son made the
tanks and it was not his job to deliver them. His boss told him the
brakes were a little bad, not that there wasn't any. My husband and I
told him a week proir to this, Don't drive that truck, because it's
unsafe and would get someone hurt. Being 20 years old you feel
invinsible. Now he wished he would of listen. The good thing was, he got
a job offer with another company the day he got out of the hospital.
When one door shuts, another ones open.
J, I'm not that strong or patient. I've just learned not to fret
over things I have no control over. Sometimes I let things bother me,
than I remember things could be worse and to count my blessings. God
won't give me more than I can handle. I still have bad moments and would
like to throw myself a pity party. I've had 9 years dealing with this,
and I learned they wont get in a hurry, no matter how much I would like
them too. I hope you never stop pinging me. I don't see it as nagging
either my dear friend. Hugs, Jill

Hugs back at ya Jill,
I've been practising self-control here, but now that it's Thursday, I'm "hot on your trail".
Did you call them yet ? <g>
Meantime, how's the part time job going?
Also glad to hear that your son got another job. There's a new "report" out
here in Canada about general life expectancy (men vs women) and I think that
goes for jobs too.

Ping Jill - thyroid (thyroid job)
J, You are a well of information, how do you do it. And your memory is
excellent. I called the Doctors office Monday, they were supposed to
call me back the next day. I'm still waiting. I'll try again tomarrow.
The new temp. job is going good. I will hate it when it ends. But
somethimg else will come along, no doubt. My son hasn't started the new
job yet. Look like he needs a little P.T. to help the sore muscle and
knee pain. But at least he's alive and doing pretty good. I believe your
so right about the life expectancy, going for jobs too!! ((( J)))

Thanks for the hugs, Jill (much appreciated).
I'm not spamming (honest) but I tried Trager massage (for quite a while) and
it's the most wonderful thing for sore muscles and aches and pains. And so
relaxing. And of course, P.T. is helpful also, so hope your son feels better
Glad you're enjoying the new temp job too.
Will watch for your update

Ping Jill - thyroid (thyroid)
J, Well I called the doctors office on Friday, and that evening the
Doctor called me back. He asked if I filled out the paper work, and my
response was "what paper work". So I geuss I should be recieving it in
the mail. So much for communication. It's almost funny. I know you
wern't spamming, I think I could benifit from a few Trager massages
myself. Well maybe more than a few. Jill

oopsie ! Am I ever glad I nagged ...whoops pinged you.
Just think, we could have been here for months, waiting and waiting and
wondering what became of the injection.
What do you mean you "guess" you should be receiving it in the mail?
Did he not say exactly how the paper would get into your hands?
Can you not arrange to pick it up (or have it faxed) to you?
Well, anyways, two days in the mail, so I'll be bugging you again next Wed
Count on it, Jill !
