Chris Johnson wasn't happy about surrendering the 11-yard touchdown pass from rookie quarterback Kirk Cousins to wide receiver Pierre Garcon that helped the Washington Redskins tie the Ravens and then win, 31-28, in overtime last Sunday.
At the same time, however, the cornerback said he had no regrets about trying to jump what he thought was an in route by Garcon.
"As a vet, I gave up a play that I didn't want to give up. It stuck with me for a couple days," Johnson said Wednesday. "But as a corner, you have to be aggressive, but you might give up a play. I've been playing like this for nine years, and I don't want to ever take away my instincts and aggression to be a complacent corner. So that's how I looked at it."
On that specific play, Johnson – who has been the fifth defensive back in the team's nickel package – said he understood the circumstances of the third-down situation from the Ravens' 11-yard line with 36 seconds left in the fourth quarter and played the percentages.
"I'm looking at third-and-5, a rookie quarterback that hadn't played all game, and they had to convert that," Johnson recalled. "So I knew the play. So I jumped it. [Cousins] wanted to throw it, and if the edge would have been up the field, he wouldn't have been able to get out of the pocket. So when he scrambled, Garcon kind of diverted his route. I should've ran back to my man and made that play. When I saw him throw the ball, I knew I couldn't get there. I thought I was going to be able to jump it and knock it down. I did everything I could do on the play. It was just a good play by the rookie quarterback."
Johnson factored into an earlier play on that drive. On third-and-6 from Washington's 40, Johnson appeared to break up Cousins' pass to Garcon. But Johnson was flagged for pass interference, which gave the Redskins a fresh set of downs.
Johnson said Washington was the beneficiary of some hometown cooking by the official.
"To me, that's more of a homer call," Johnson said. "Normally, the field judge would call that. The sideline judge called it because he was on the sideline where the team was, and when they went into disarray, it's like a forced call. He had to call that. But I looked at the play, and as a corner, you have the right to go for the ball, too. That's what I was trying to do, and it was just a bad call."

quote:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
quote: How can they (i.e. the gods) meet us face to face till we have faces? The idea was that a human being must become real before it can expect to receive any message from the superhuman; that is, it must be speaking with its own voice (not one of its borrowed voices), expressing its actual desires (not what it imagines that it desires), being for good or ill itself, not any mask, veil, or persona. -- C.S. Lewis
quote:I'd register my real name and use it, but Porteiro would never stop calling me pooka anyway.
quote:I certainly remember (When? Maybe before first grade.) thinking that I was good and smart and strong and pretty and a worthwhile person.
quote:But it became clear in that moment that my body was full, and knew it was full, but there was a mental compulsion for me to eat that would never be satisfied.

Whenever I come out Atheist .. they assume I must have no ethics or morals whatsoever and that I am willing to do just about anything --- like lie, cheat and steal.
Anyone else have this happen to them?
Views: 4865
That wasn't my experience. Just lucky I guess. My relatives were liberal protestants.
and no .. I haven't told my family
Ah, see, I didn't know that about you. Is that part of what you were upset about? I was luckier than you in that regard I guess. Ever since I met my birth-mother and realized just how much more seriously religion is taken in the deep south than it is here on the east coast, I began to think that I might really have dodged a bullet there after all. A big, Texas-sized bullet. It wasn't hard telling my adoptive parents, but my mother's family was a bit of a different story. Once everyone on that side knew, most of them weren't all that bothered by it actually, or if they were they never made me feel it, except for my grandmother's sister, who I really liked, and she just hated me suddenly and we never spoke again since. Just like that. But my family is very well-educated and nothing like fundies at all (and Jewish, which was kind of a special way to grow up here in the US to be honest). Anyway, if you feel like sharing, we're all (supportive) ears!
I've never hidden the fact that I am an atheist and I have been questioned only a few times on the source of my morality. As others have said, actions speak far louder than words. Steph, don't be put off by their stupid comments - many people carry chips on their shoulders and will bark at anything outside of their own territory. Sometimes, the questioning can be genuine intrigue born of ignorance, but assertions held firmly by people who will not hear otherwise such as these are worth ignoring.
Oh, wait -- I do know what this is like. Sorta. It's a much-touted story of mine around these parts.
I was in seventh grade. My classmates were discussing nothing in particular, and I didn't discuss anything at all. Pretty soon, the conversation shifted to religion. Someone decided to put me on the spot.
Classmate: Hey, do you believe in God?
Me: No.
Cue widespread shock.
It was insane! They just could not fathom how I could think such a way. In fact, this one girl -- she said she couldn't be my friend if I was an atheist. I've locked myself in the closet ever since.
Something similar happened to me in one of my biology classes .. I wore a Darwin shirt and the girls in my group didn't want me in their group any longer. So I was not as willing to be out as an Atheist after that.
Well. That's a burn on their part, if ever I've seen one. >_>
Maybe you could tactfully point out to these people that their moral depravity radar must be pretty weak if they didn't detect your supposed turpitude before you came out! How come their omniscient, omnipotent god didn't put a big pulsing neon sign above your head so's his fleecy little flock could spot the wolf among them?
I get the old "you're just rebelling against God because you're angry at him" crap all the time, but no one has actually told me I'm immoral yet.
Yeah .. I've heard that one too. That is a good suggestion.

New this year for the whole month of June!
A little history. . .
Beginning in 2000, with 150 Lavender plants and visions of Lavender fields for our future, Hurricane Isabel brought more rain than the Lavender could endure. So visions of Lavender fields gave way to becoming a nursery on a farm offering central Virginia's largest selection of USDA Certified Organic herb & vegetable plants along with classes on Herb and vegetable gardening for your continued success season after season.
We have since replanted the Lavender field in 2015 which is best enjoyed in early to mid June when the bloom is at its peak. Our field is open Monday through Saturday 10am to 4 pm. The entrance fee to the lavender field is $6p.p. which includes 20 fresh cut lavender stems and a sample lavender ice cream. Family entrance is $24 per family and includes 80 fresh cut lavender stems and 4 sample lavender ice creams. Children 3 and under are free. As our field has only recently been planted, we hope to have enough lavender blooms to harvest for the whole month, please come out early to avoid missing out. We will post regular updates on our website and on Facebook. Join us for our guided tour at 11am which is free with paid entrance to the field. Here you will learn more, not just about the lavender plant itself, but the oil and flowers it produces, and how we use them. No registration is necessary for the tours.

Hi there, I am writing a book for Columbia University Press on "coming out as atheist" and am still looking for submissions that can speak to aging as atheist. Please consider submitting a piece!
More details here:http://faculty.tc.columbia.edu/upload/meb2222/CALLFORSUBMISSIONS-Au...
Thank you!
Views: 294
I'd love to submit something; I'm 69 and have leukemia. I used to write for a living, but now I practice law. I tried going to the call for submissions page but it does not parse for me.
Wonderful, thank you! Essentially, narratives should speak to issues of confronting mortality and finding community as an older adult who is also a nonbeliever. I uploaded the pdf to this reply - hopefully that will work. If not, please shoot me an email at the address below and I'll send you all the information.
Atheists in America: Narratives from an Invisible Minority
Melanie Elyse Brewster, Ph.D
Email queries and submissions to: email@example.com
Atheists in America: Narratives from an Invisible Minority is a book that aspires to tell the stories of diverse
individuals who identify as atheist in the increasingly conservative religious climate of the United States. As discussed by
Cimino and Smith (2011), the practice of "coming out" as atheist has never been a matter of publicly identifying as
atheist along a well-worn and legitimate path; instead, coming out involves emerging from invisibility to claim a personal
and social identity that carries widespread stigma. There are few examples of "out" atheists in political offices, on sports
teams, or within popular media and celebrity culture—leaving atheist individuals little opportunity to model their coming
out process on the experiences of others. Thus, Atheists in America has two main objectives:
The primary objective of the book is to present personal narratives that will illustrate how people from
different cultures, religious backgrounds, cities, ages, sexual orientations, and family structures have reached their
identities as atheist. Beyond identity development processes, the second objective of the book is to elucidate some of
the many coming out routes for atheist individuals and shed light on how atheist people navigate social systems and
decisions to conceal or reveal their beliefs to others.
Extended submission deadline: August 1, 2012
I am gathering personal narratives that speak to the "coming out as atheist" journeys of diverse nonreligious
individuals across the United States. I have received an overwhelming number of submissions for narratives on some
topics (THANK YOU!), but still need narratives that address the topics listed below!
Atheists in America: Narratives from an Invisible Minority is under contract with Columbia University Press, one
of the most well-established and prestigious academic presses in the world. Your submissions may be edited for
length/content. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com with the prospective topic of your essay and with any
questions. Feel free to be open, creative, and conversational in crafting your narrative essay. The "coming out" stories of
contributing writers should each be about 1,500 to 4,000 words with content that aligns closely with one of the themes
Who's calling me an old Atheist ?
I never really had to "come out." I have always BEEN out (as an atheist). I was never any religion, and from the time I was a child, my neighbors knew (and accepted) that my parents were non-believers, and that my brother and I were, as well!
I'll have to ask my dad for the quote, but at one time, one of the neighbors told him that whenever someone asked her whether atheists could be moral, she would use my brother and me as positive examples.
Melanie, I believe you have it backwards. It should be the other way around: believers in the Holy Scripture and organized religions should be the ones coming out of the closet. Picture a teenager leaving his room and sitting down at the family dinner table.
"Mom, dad," he says grinding his teeth a little and wiping sweaty palms in front of the tableware. "Mom, dad, I feel I oughta tell you. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Virgin Mary, the resurrection of the body and our Lord Jesus Christ the legitimate son of God."
Shocked, his parents gasp for air and reel back, mouths open and tears in their eyes. "Oh, no, how could you do this to us? Have you no shame? Don't you know the damage the churches are doing to people?"
"I don't care. I flunked out of science class and this is the only thing that makes sense. Jesus, our Lord, is redeemer, the lamb of God."
"Whaaa! What have you been smokin'?"
I'm appending "A Compilation of Biblical Quotes" to show how whacky and bizarre these beliefs are. These were compiled by the feminist atheist writer and friend of mine, Barbara G. Walker. The material is copyrighted; it's the epilogue to Mirror Reversal, but you're welcome to use any part of it if you can see an appropriate spot in your anthology.
I once mentioned to Barbara, "It's like hitting them on the head with their own belief system."
To wit:
BIBLE MORALITY (compiled by Barbara Walker, author of Man Made God.)
Barbara asked me to add that this is from the King James Bible, as modern-day evangelicals have expurgated much of the really stupid and hostile quotations.
This compilation is incontrovertible, conspicuous proof that the Bible is a book written by idiots for idiots.
Read on, I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried. As always, comments are encouraged and welcome.

Stop Smoking
<!--Id is null-->
Stop Smoking Products at Walgreens
When you quit smoking you can lower your risk for a number of health problems including lung disease, lung cancer and heart disease. Still, "kicking the habit" isn't easy, especially if you've smoked for many years. The good news is that thousands of people successfully stop smoking each year. A number of products are available to help you make the transition to a smoke-free lifestyle a little easier. First you need to make the decision to quit.
Nicotine Replacement Therapy
Cigarettes are a source of nicotine, an addictive chemical that smokers crave. Many people experience nicotine withdrawal symptoms when they try to quit "cold turkey." These withdrawal symptoms may increase the desire to smoke. Nicotine replacements supply your body with smaller, controlled amounts of nicotine to help relieve some of the withdrawal symptoms. This may reduce cigarette cravings. Nicotine replacement is available in a number of forms including patches, lozenges and nicotine gum. Your body absorbs nicotine at a slower rate when using replacement products. Plus, you aren't exposed to the other toxins in cigarettes like tar and carbon monoxide.
How do Nicotine Gums Work?
Nicotine gums are one of the most popular options for nicotine replacement therapy. These gums come in a variety of bold, tongue-tantalizing flavors like fresh mint, fruit and cinnamon. They're usually sugar-free so you don't have to worry about tooth decay. They are great for freshening your breath too! Nicotine gums are available in a regular dose as well as a higher nicotine dose for heavier smokers. Always follow the directions and don't chew more than the recommended number of pieces per day.
How do Nicotine Lozenges Differ from Gum?
Nicotine lozenges are another popular option. Like nicotine gum, they supply your body with controlled doses of nicotine to help reduce the desire to smoke. Unlike nicotine gum that you chew, lozenges are meant to dissolve slowly in the mouth until they disappear completely.
Do Nicotine Replacement Products Have Side Effects?
It's possible to experience mild side effects like heartburn, rapid heartbeat, gas, headache, stomach upset or insomnia when using nicotine replacement products but these are usually not severe enough to cause concern. Don't smoke if you're using any form of nicotine replacement product. This could lead to too much nicotine. It is also important to take the product as directed and use it only for as long as recommended.
Other Options
Some nicotine withdrawal systems use cigarette filters that gradually reduce the amount of tar and nicotine you take in with each cigarette. You would begin with the first filter and gradually work your way down to the last one. Each progression reduces your exposure to tar and nicotine more. By the time you reach the last filter, you've reduced your exposure by 90%. When you reach this level, you may be able to quit smoking without experiencing withdrawal symptoms. It's a step-by-step filtering system designed to gradually wean you off of nicotine.
Commit to Quitting
Quitting smoking isn't easy but smoking aids can make it a little less challenging to kick the habit so you can enjoy the health benefits of being smoke free.

HTML 5 is making some things easier to use. The first is the DOCTYPE. Located at the top of a Web page before the opening BODY tag, the DOCTYPE describes the syntax for the page. The roots for the DOCTYPE lie in SGML. Bearing this in mind, all DOCTYPES for HTML 4 and XHTML require a DTD (Document Type Definition) to describe the content. This is all gone in HTML 5.

Digital Transformation is much more than a buzzword. The radical shift to digital mechanisms for almost every process is evident across all industries and verticals.

Fashion royalty on Prince Harry's guest list
The VIP list for Prince Harry's charity match at the Greenwich Polo Club Wednesday includes a who's who of the high-fashion world. The attendees include models, designers, actresses and retailers, most with ties to Stephanie Seymour, the former Victoria's Secret and Sports Illustrated model married to billionaire Peter Brant, founder of the Greenwich club.
Other models on the list include Karolina Kurkova, a former Victoria's Secret Angel; Carolyn Murphy, who posed for Sports Illustrated and is known for being the face of Estee Lauder; and Delfina Blaquier, who modeled in a Ralph Lauren fragrance campaign with her famous polo playing husband Nacho Figueras.
Designers expected to attend include Jason Wu, who designed both inauguration dresses for first lady Michelle Obama; the iconic Valentino, who designed dresses for Jacqueline Kennedy and Audrey Hepburn; and Giancarlo Giammetti, president of the Valentino Fashion House.
The list continues with actress Elizabeth Olsen, younger sister of twins Mary-Kate and Ashley; and Haley Bloomingdale, whose family founded the famed department store. Lauren Santo Domingo, contributing editor at Vogue and co-founder of the online fashion retailer Moda Operandi is also expected. She grew up in Greenwich.
The Sentebale Royal Salute Polo Cup is taking place for the first time in Greenwich. Sentebale -- which means "forget me not" in the African language of Sesotho -- is a charity Prince Harry started with Prince Seeiso, of Lesotho, in memory of their mothers, in 2006.
The charity works with local grassroots organizations to help some of the tiny African country's children get support to lead healthy and productive lives.
Fittingly, Prince Harry's charity work this week will honor his late mother, Princess Diana, in the wake of Mother's Day.
Royal Salute is the maker of a Scotch whisky that has supported the sport internationally.
The polo match will wrap up Harry's week-long tour of the states, which started Thursday with a visit to Washington, D.C., and will include visits to parts of New Jersey affected by Hurricane Sandy and events in New York City.
While the presence of the fashion elite adds to the glamour of the match, tickets to the invitation-only event are rare. There are only a total of 400.
"That's too bad that the tickets are restricted, said Rick Adams, a Greenwich resident who said he would like to attend. "There's room over there for a lot more."
Will Sabel, a real estate agent from Stamford, said he knows some people attending the event who have made significant donations to the charity.
"I was trying to hop onto a friend's company to get access to the event," he said.
One event sponsor, the St. Regis Hotel on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, is sending a group, including Dave Marr, senior vice president of brand management for Starwood Hotels & Resorts, headquartered in Stamford.
"Given that Starwood's home headquarters is Connecticut, what a privilege to continue St. Regis' support for Sentebale at the Greenwich Polo Club," Marr said. "With Prince Harry and Nacho Figueras on the polo field, it is sure to be a memorable day."
As Prince Harry makes his way around the country, first visiting the Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C., anticipation is building for his arrival in Greenwich.
The owners of Atelier360, a boutique on Greenwich Avenue, is having a tea and celebratory Pimm's Cup Wednesday from noon to 6 p.m. Along with serving tea and sandwiches, they will feature British designers at the store.
"We're calling it, 'The British are coming, the British are coming,'" said Alyssa Aftab, who does public relations for the store. "We're having high tea all day."
Items they will feature include a leather handmade flask and cup set by Daines and Hathaway, along with clothing from the sustainable fashion movement, an eco-friendly trend popular in England.
"We're having cocktails all day for free," store owner Veronique Lee said. "We're also having little tea sandwiches, we're asking customers to dress up and wear hats and we'll be having high tea. We're going to have fun."

Designer Tracy Reese was to Today this morning, talking about how thrilled she was to find out that Michelle Obama had chosen to wear her dress at the DNC on Tuesday night. "We were warned there was a possibility, but they weren't sure until the last minute," Reese told Natalie Morales. "We were all crowded around and listening to every minute. It was such an amazing night."
While the dress was custom-made for FLOTUS, don't worry — mere mortals will be able to buy a version eventually. "It was something that we are planning for later so we are trying to rush it through the cycle so more people can get their hands on it sooner," Reese explained. She promised the frock would be under $500. Then all you'll need to get the look is a grayish manicure, some killer biceps, and an impassioned speech.

2012 Tempranillo
Join the Twisted Few!
Tempranillo! The grape that made Calaveras County famous! (OK, along with frogs, Mark Twain, and an infamous archeological hoax...)
Tempranillo! Ten years ago you couldn't even say "Tem-prah-NEE-yoh" and now, you - ladies and gentlemen - from what was only an inarticulate mass of Cab-swirling tissue, I give you a Cultured, Sophisticated Tempranillo lover about town!
Now get out there and put on that ritz!
The color in the glass is like red onion skin.
Sniffy Sniff Time - Bright fruit on the nose, with some cherry fruit, hints of tobacco leaf, and maybe a touch of clove.
Tasty Taste Time - Cherry fruit flavors, some leather notes, a bit of oak, and maybe a hint of vanilla? Medium tannins. A bit of heat on the finish.
So, I spoiled myself (almost said soiled myself, heh heh...which may be appropriate also, come to think of it), over having the 2010 River of Skulls for my first wine. The Tempranillo does not compare to that (and it shouldn't be, I know). It's a very good Tempranillo. Not quite as smooth as some I've had, but still very good overall.
Rubber Chicken Thoughts, by Sir Cluckles - Bawk, bawk, bawk! Bawk BaGawk, bawk. Buk buk buk, Bawk, buk buk buk. Bawk bawk!
Bas vers le haut, Mateys...Arrrr!
Yep. Another day, and this wine has a much smoother texture, more like velvet from a wench's red dress a brushed up against in Tortuga last week.
I'm also getting a bit of smokiness on the nose, reminding me of that nice time me and the boys had pillaging that small village on the coast, there was much smoke in the air that night, to be fair.
Sir Cluckles had this to add - Bawk bawk, Ba-Gawk!
So, looks like I'm sayin' to give this one here a bit of breathing room to really enjoy it's fine quality...enjoy!
Bas vers le haut, Mateys...Arrrr!

Grey's Anatomy megapost
Another branch on the Shepherd family tree will be identified on Dec. 6 when Neve Campbell makes her Grey's Anatomy debut as Derek's previously unnamed fourth sister Lizzie — and we've got a first look at the Party of Five star's arrival.
Spoiler alert! Loretta Devine has wrapped her Emmy-winning role as Grey's Anatomy's Alzheimer's-stricken Adele Webber; her final two episodes are set to air in December and January. "The whole time we were doing it, I kept saying, 'Just shoot me!'" Devine says of her emotionally taxing scenes. "It was so painful."
And the pain will endure for Devine, who isn't happy that Adele's death allows her widower, Richard, to pursue a full-on relationship with Dr. Catherine Avery (Debbie Allen).
"Every day, I said, 'Can I please come back to haunt her?'" jokes Devine, who will soon by directed by Allen on Lifetime's The Client List. "Meredith's dead mother comes back on the show all the time, and there was that one dead guy [Denny] who stayed on as a ghost forever."
While there wasn't an on-set party thrown in her honor, Devine did get to enjoy some cake on her last day, she says, "because it happened to be Ellen Pompeo's birthday." Ah, forget the cake. This tearjerker could earn her another golden statue.
Yes, Grey's Anatomy's Dr. Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson) will ultimately end up in a wedding gown — but whether or not any vows are exchanged with her fiancé, Ben (Jason George), remains to be seen.
"Bailey is not participating," explains Wilson of the nuptials, set for the madcap December 13 episode. "She already had a wedding with her first husband, so she's not excited to make the same vows in front of the same people again. Plus, she has a lot of patients in the hospital. It's a particularly hectic time for her to get whisked off to a wedding. People might show up, but Bailey's priorities get diverted."
That means it's up to friends (like Cristina, Callie and Richard) and family (Miranda's mother Elena [Bianca Taylor] and cousin Claire [Kelli Kirkland]) to try to get her to the church on time.
"Cristina says the reason she agreed to her own wedding ceremony is because she knew it was important to Owen," says Wilson. "And the Chief talks to Bailey about how nervous he was when he married Adele and that he regrets spending so much time at work when he could have been savoring his relationship."
Entourage grad Constance Zimmer has booked a recurring role on Grey's Anatomy, TVLine has learned.
The actress will play Dr. Cahill, a super-confident, self-possessed, laser-focused professional with a wicked sense of humor.
Neve Campbell Guest Stars
"Love Turns You Upside Down" - The new batch of interns find themselves involved in all the drama at Seattle Grace: Meredith asks Heather to go above and beyond to help fix Derek's hand; Cristina starts a healthy competition between Stephanie and Leah, which inadvertently leads to a medical emergency for Cristina's patient; Alex sees Jo in a new light as they work to save a baby's life, and April teaches Shane a valuable lesson during "lumps and bumps" duty, on "Grey's Anatomy," THURSDAY, DECEMBER 6 (9:00-10:02 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.
Emmy Award Winner Loretta Devine Returns as Adele Webber
And Neve Campbell ("Scream") Guest Stars
"Run Baby Run" - As the rest of the doctors prepare for Bailey's wedding, Richard helps her through a bout of pre-wedding jitters. Meanwhile, Lizzie butts heads with Meredith, and Callie and Jackson try to convince Derek to participate in a risky surgery that could fix his hand, on "Grey's Anatomy," THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13 (9:00-10:02 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

|Club Bisexual
Short review: Club Bisexual is such an easily navigate site, mostly because there's not a lot of content weighing it down. You'll find nothing but movies here, along with a nice amount of bonus sites to ease the pain of what this site lacks. It was a nice website, just not enough offered to really bring it rated highly in my book. The membership may seem high for what's offered here, but the bonus sites help.
Content Amount: This is where the site lacks in my opinion. The amount here is really nice, the bisexual theme is always a great draw. They do offer a nice amount of bonus sites with membership so that adds to the luster of price. Over 350+ offered videos up to 27 min. o

Drs. Michael Roizen, M.D., and Mehmet Oz, M.D.
Q: I'm 45 and healthy, but I want to make sure I don't get osteoporosis when I'm older. Should I be taking calcium supplements now, or is that risky? -- Shirley L., Fresno, Calif.
A: Good question! There's been a lot of news about the risks and benefits of calcium supplements for men and women, and that's got some folks wondering whether to continue with the supplements they're already taking. Today, 43 percent of the U.S. population pops a daily pill that contains some calcium.
A consistent level of calcium (and magnesium, plus D-3) is necessary for healthy nerves, muscles and organs, not to mention bone strength. Chances are you need a D-3 supplement: 1,000 IU a day is what we take, and we have an annual blood test to make sure our levels are 50-80. And a supplement of 600 mg of calcium with 300 mg of magnesium daily is safe to take and may provide benefits.
But you can get too much of a good thing from calcium supplements. One study showed men 50-71 who take a 1,000 mg daily calcium supplement increase their risk of dying from heart disease by 20 percent. The reason? Calcium gets into the lining of the blood vessels, making arteries stiffer. However, 1,000 mg calcium a day from food is part of a bone and heart-friendly diet. (Over 70? Go for 1,200 mg a day from food.)
And the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recently announced calcium supplements may not be the right choice for women who want to protect their bones. There just isn't proof that a daily supplement of 400 IU or less of vitamin D-3 and less than 1,000 mg of calcium prevents bone fractures. Are larger doses of calcium helpful or risky? No one knows yet. So women 19-50 should aim for 1,000 mg of calcium a day from food; women 51 and older, 1,200 mg calcium from food and 1,000 IU D-3 from a supplement.
We suggest: To protect your heart and keep bones strong, start with plenty of weight-bearing exercise in addition to walking 10,000 steps a day, and get calcium from food. Here's what some tasty choices contain: 1 cup plain, nonfat yogurt, 490 mg; 1 cup cooked kale, 180 mg; 1 cup of cooked spinach, 260 mg; 3 ounces canned salmon, almost 200 mg; a 3-ounce serving of sardines, 325 mg; an ounce of sesame seeds, 280 mg; 1 cup soybeans, 261 mg; 1 cup cooked turnip greens, 200 mg.
Q: We're trying to get pregnant. I've heard so much about how chemicals in plastics can harm a fetus -- and cause a child to have learning problems and illnesses. So, I want some advice on how to protect my baby. -- Alice W., Milwaukee
The latest info on these chemicals indicates that exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) and its cousin BPS in the womb or as an infant increases the risk of childhood asthma and learning disorders. It does this by disrupting hormones and changing the function of a gene important to learning in kids (and adults).
Even more unsettling is the fact that small amounts of BPA seem to interfere with brain development by blocking the action of a protein that instructs neurons where to go.
So, what can you do to protect your future child? First, you want to reduce YOUR exposure to BPA.
1. Check the plastic ID code on the bottom of polycarbonate bottles and packages: No. 7 means it could contain BPA.
2. Don't take thermal cash register receipts. Touching the receipt and then your mouth is the No. 1 way to end up with BPA and BPS in your system.
3. Avoid canned foods: They're lined with resin that contains BPA, unless marked BPA-free.
4. Don't microwave polycarbonate plastics (hard, clear, lightweight). BPA can leach into your food. Avoid putting them in the dishwasher, too.
5. When your child is born, follow the same precautions regarding bottles, food containers and toys. Wash your hands before preparing food or touching your baby -- especially if you have recently handled a receipt.

As noted earlier, it was recently revealed that Vince McMahon once proposed a shoot fight with UFC President Dana White. White laughed the challenge off, telling Vince that he was "crazy."
Top UFC superstar Chael Sonnen - who is an obvious major wrestling fan, although he won't admit it - took to his Twitter to respond to McMahon's challenge and to issue one of his own.
"There's easier ways to commit suicide, Vincie-boy. Aren't you about 45 minutes from the George Washington Bridge? @wwe," Sonnen wrote. "Reason your guys work in a ring and not an octagon is because nobody on your roster can count to 8, you DOPE. Just because your teeth are fake that don't mean they can't get PUNCHED OUT, y'big mark! Itd be entertaining to see Dana sweep him under the rug. He could use the one on top of Vince's head.
"You'd be so punch drunk against Dana even your straight edge Champion @cmpunk will feel tipsy. Ill help you out and tag along because you can't spell box office without S-O-N-N-E-N. how bout it? Vince w/ Punk vs Dana w/ Chael P?"
You can check out footage of Sonnen discussing training with Steve Austin last year in the video above. He was also interviewed by WWE.com last October about which wrestler had the most dangerous submission hold, and tried to get CM Punk to be one of his cornermen for a fight on FOX.

PITTSBURGH — Police ordered protesters to disperse at the Group of
20 summit last week with a device that can beam earsplitting alarm
tones and verbal instructions that the manufacturer likens to a
"spotlight of sound," but that legal groups called potentially
The device, called a Long Range Acoustic Device,
concentrates voice commands and a car alarm-like sound in a 30- or
60-degree cone that can be heard nearly two miles away. It is about two
feet square and mounted on a swivel such that one person can point it
where it's needed. The volume measures 140-150 decibels three feet away
— louder than a jet engine — but dissipates with distance.
Putnam, spokesman for the manufacturer, San Diego-based American
Technology Corp., said it's "like a big spotlight of sound that you can
shine on people."
"It's not a sonic cannon. It's not the death
ray or anything like that," Putnam said. "It's about long-range
communications being heard intelligibly."
During the Pittsburgh
protests, police used the device to order demonstrators to disperse and
to play a high-pitched "deterrent tone" designed to drive people away.
It was the first time the device was used in a riot-control situation
on U.S. soil, according to American Technology and police.
who heard it said authorities' voice commands were clear and sounded as
if they were coming from everywhere all at once. They described the
"deterrent tone" as unbearable.
Joel Kupferman, who was at
Thursday's march as a legal observer for the National Lawyer's Guild,
said he was overwhelmed by the tone and called it "overkill."
"When people were moving and they still continued to use it, it was an excessive use of weaponry," Kupferman said.
"Vic" Walczak, legal director for the American Civil Liberties Union in
Pennsylvania, said the device is a military weapon capable of producing
permanent hearing loss, something he called "an invitation to an
excessive-force lawsuit."
The operator of the device is usually behind it and not in the path of the focused beam of sound.
Palmer, director of audiology at the University of Pittsburgh Medical
Center, said 140 decibels can cause immediate hearing loss. But there's
no way to know if anyone was exposed to sounds that loud without
knowing how far away they were, she said.
Putnam and public safety officials said the complaints prove the device worked as designed.
have to put your hands over your ears and cover them, and it's
difficult to throw stuff," said Ray DeMichiei, deputy director of the
city's emergency management agency.
Police said they used the
device last Thursday to issue prerecorded warnings to disperse when
hundreds of demonstrators, including self-described anarchists, without
a protest permit held a march that threatened to turn violent.
of concerns about the volume, police were careful to use it about 12
feet off the ground mounted on a tactical vehicle, so no individual
would be directly in its path or too close to it, Assistant Chief
William Bochter said.
"The only way anybody gets hurt is if the deterrent is on full blast and they stand directly in front of it," Putnam said.
regional counterterror task force bought four of the devices from
American Technology using $101,000 in federal Homeland Security funds,
DeMichiei said. Because the amplified message was prerecorded, police
could be sure the protesters heard exactly the instructions police
desired and have confidence those in the back of the crowd could hear,
Bochter said.
Such devices also have military and commercial
applications. Putnam said the primary purpose is to transmit specific
orders loudly and clearly.
They have been used against protesters
overseas, and police in New York threatened to use one during
demonstrations near the Republican National Convention in 2004.
said the city of San Diego uses them to instruct people to leave large
sections of beach after festivals. It has also been used in SWAT
In military applications, it allows ships to hail
approaching vessels and determine their intent, the company says. Cargo
ships use them to tell pirates that they had been spotted. When the
pirates know they have lost the element of surprise, they will not
attack, Putnam said.
Putnam said those complaining about the
device have probably exposed themselves to sounds nearly as loud at
rock concerts, and for longer periods of time. Walczak, the ACLU
attorney, isn't buying the analogy.
"People don't flee the front
row of a rock concert. Why would they be fleeing here?" Walczak asked.
"Because it's loud, it's painfully loud."

June 11 1am
Aldo Marquis CIT has news for us, again! "UPDATE: We've got another corroborating witness to the DC/EOP/Chaconas flight path." Good, since the Scoggins confirmation didn't turn out so well. This was the first post in the Chaconas thread since JFK shut it down a month ago to push out PBnJ. And there's news on other fronts, hints a-dropping at the LCF in the last few days, and I gotta say I'm scared that my whole reality is about to come crashing down! "They have no idea how wrong they are about to be," Marquis told Bitterman. "Paik's position didn't allow him to see what happened at the end of the Annex," he said in another thread. "We do have a better idea now, so just stay tuned."
Most ominously, Marquis announced "We now have an additional 6 NoC witnesses. 2 on audio recording and 4 on location, on camera. One of those was a surprise published account that we did not expect to get." Lemme guess – ANC folks and such who were north of the real path, and describe the plane as over them? Now CIT's collection has grown to "12 people who saw it on the north side of the Citgo." How many mention the Citgo? I'll have to wait and see. How many people south of the real path described the plane as 'over' them? But they don't count as SoC witnesses since they don't mention the Citgo, right? Now CIT's collection has grown to "12 people who saw it on the north side of the Citgo," he told critic Boboblaw, "leading us to believe the plane flew over. Leading us to believe in the second plane cover story. Leading us to Roosevelt Roberts who saw the plane flying away and thought it was a second jet in the area at the exact time of the attack."
Regarding that last, I'm still waiting for that full article and complete audio that was promised a couple weeks ago. One thing at a time fellas, lets see if one pans out before we start distracting people with something else that also won't. Not sure what they're saying at their own forum, but the word bombshell is probably in there somewhere, as they plan another of their regular bomb-dropping followed by another round by the dud truck, teetering and barely able to drive beneath its towering load anymore. Perhaps they will finally break the truck, which seems their only reachable goal.
'Hey, we're not confused about Roberts' account,' CIT will likely say. 'You're the one with the stupid "questions." Why don't YOU go ask him to explain it again?' Funny they should possibly ask that right after I led the post that direction. In other news, I've been "unusually investigative" lately in sending out, last Monday, a 'clarification packet' to Officer Roberts with all the contact info he could need. In nine pages (with plenty of space, mind you), I asked about all the little details I've been wondering about and made it near-impossible, if he answers anything, to continue the vagueness that's come across so far. I included a zoomed map for locating himself, lane 1, etc. if all south, and a wider view for the flight path he saw. I could have made better ones I suppose, but I felt rushed.
The way I see it there are three possible outcomes:
1) He doesn't respond, or does so in a curt and dismissive way. This seems most likely, but considering how he talked with CIT, I would find this a bit suspicious. They didn't just look up his number and call him, not by any means I've found, but likely got him to call them after an initial contact. Am I right, guys?
2) He responds in the affirmative of what I suspect – he saw 175 impact on TV and then saw 77 approach. I'll publish it happily.
3) He clarifies what CIT's been saying. I won't believe it, but I'll acknowledge it and, with his permission, pass it on. That in itself would be very interesting.
So each of these outcomes is educational in its own way, and it will have been worth the time in any case. He should have had the packet for over a week now, just long enough that the suspense is killing me and I'm wondering if he's planning to blow me off quietly. So now it's in the open, I can't be blown off silently. How loud it gets depends on me. In the chance he's reading this site, again, all I want is the honest and un-muddled truth, even if it's just that I fail, and we are waiting on a response. And again, Roosevelt, if you're reading this, all of this back-and-forth should not matter a bit for the outcome. Memories are memories, and if CIT can hear them, why not me?
Sincerely, Caustic Logic

Hello Caustic Logic,
You do good work. Nice to see people can stay calm after dealing with these punks for more than a handfull of days.

Hey, JREF scum! No, I'm ragin insane, just half-catatonic too due to a stroke they gave me so I seem calm. :)
And as little as I've seen you do great work too.
"This would be the explosion at around 9:10AM right?
This would be the silver aircraft flying over the south car park, right?"
Solid questions met with the same old appeals and then insults and provocation and let jfk do the rest
"And bobby earned a week off."
"good stuff. thanks JFK."
Aldo gets called for insulting you:
"Yes, that was my bad. Unfortunately, I found him whiny. I think I am given a little slack because we are constantly under attack. Anyways, I say good riddance to bad rubbish. He is a troll and nothing more."
Oops, the bads keep coming. I think they are constantly attacked becuase they lie real bad all the time and some people get annoyed?
I got in contact with Levi Stephens today. He was quite unaware that his photo has been used. He was also unaware that his words had been twisted to support their theory.
Anyway, on finding out, he must not have been too impressed by it, because his photo disappeared from http://www.thepentacon.com/Topic9.htm with hours.
Best part is this wouldn't have happened if Aldo didn't dare me to contact his witnesses - so I thought hey fuck it, let's do that.
I found Levi *immediately*. LexisNexis has given me the contact details for William Lagasse (He's a K-9 Specialist), Robert Turcios, Sean Boger (work & home), Mrs. Hubbard (Ceola is her name.. Lives with Christopher on the corner of Poe and 13th ROAD, not STREET. Craig identified the wrong house, she is on the southwest corner), Terry Morin (who now works at SPARTA just up the road)...
Boger is the one I am interested in talking to the most.
But the time difference is a bitch. And I don't feel right calling these people and interrupting their lives with this bullshit, you know?
I actually went to call the Arlington National Cemetary last night to let them know these fucks were going to be snooping around, but how do you tell that to the personal who picks up the general enquiries line, eh?
- Craig said...
>>>>He was also unaware that his words had been twisted to support their theory.
That's because no such thing happened which is why you will not say which words were "twisted", liar.
We were 100% truthful and Levi acknowledged as much. We have always said that he believed the plane hit the building and that he did not give us permission to publish our phone call with him.
Please feel free and call ALL the witnesses.
We encourage it.
That's the whole point about what we present.
It is independent verifiable evidence proving a military deception.
Even if any of the witnesses choose not to talk anymore they can all be subpoenaed when the time comes.
Thanks for helping to verify our claims.
It's about time that The Frustrated Fraud finally did as well.
I sure hope Roosevelt responds to him.
Oh and I did not report Hubbard's house incorrectly.
Maybe you should go pay her a visit and back up your bullshit accusation with evidence before spouting your mouth off.
Of course her account that the plane was white is the only significant part of her testimony anyway.
You think you are intimidating us but you are only doing us a favor.
Confirm away pseudoskeptic!
I sure would love to hear some audio of you interviewing any of the witnesses!
That would be great.
No doubt you won't bother because unlike us you don't care about providing evidence for your claims and will continue to spout more completely unsupported lies in a desperate attempt to personally discredit us.
Evidence pseudoskeptic, evidence.
- Caustic Logic said...
Cool, a fight at my blog I don't have to take part in.
That's amazing how much contacting you're doing, Bob. Puts me to shame, So does CIT for that matter, as far as volume. Did you ask Levi about his NoC claim, or record anything? Good luck w/some of them - Lagasse's been having his testimony "disprove the official stroy" since 2003 and has never done a thing to change it.
>>> I sure hope Roosevelt responds to him.
Thanks, Craig, me too.
Honestly, I'm a bit edgy about recording these people, and I don't really have the equipment to do so. At this stage all I am doing is simply making them aware that CIT are out there doing this in their name and we'll see where it goes from there.
The reaction for Levi indicated to me that he wants nothing at all to do with them, but I think we could correctly gauge that from the shit Aldo posted about him already.
He was dead easy to find, by the way - CIT found him from Myspace and actually had the nerve to lift one of his photos from the Pics section against his express permission.
I have only received one reply from Levi, and it was a short but courteous, thanking me for alerting him to what CIT were doing.
I have since sent a followup to Levi asking a number of detailed questions and I am currently awaiting a reply with no guarantee it will come.
What else was a blast was that during the course of my research I dropped Aldo's name at one point which was overheard by someone nearby that had actually been involved with Aldo's request for 9/11 footage from a major Hollywood company.
Small world, isn't it?
I am yet to contact the rest of them, I have just compiled their contact details. I'm a bit nervous about doing it actually... Perhaps I could send the information through to you and you might give it a lash?
Roberts was an elusive one, however. Didn't find anything about him at all.
Have you read this account before? Looks like a SoC witness:
Lt Gen Ron Kadish, Director of the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization at the Navy Annex:
"I walked in the office and stood peering out of the window looking at the Pentagon. As I stood there, I instinctively ducked at the extremely loud roar and whine of a jet engine spooling up. Immediately, the large silver cylinder of an aircraft appeared in my window, coming over my right shoulder as I faced the Westside of the Pentagon directly towards the heliport. The aircraft, looking to be either a 757 or Airbus, seemed to come directly over the annex, as if it had been following Columbia Pike - an Arlington road leading to Pentagon. The aircraft was moving fast, at what I could only be estimate as between 250 to 300 knots…The aircraft was at a sharp downward angle of attack, on a direct course for the Pentagon. It was "clean", in as much as, there were no flaps applied and no apparent landing gear deployed. He was slightly left wing down as he appeared in my line of sight, as if he'd just "jinked" to avoid something. As he crossed Route 110 he appeared to level his wings, making a slight right wing slow adjustment as he impacted low on the Westside of the building to the right of the helo, tower and fire vehicle around corridor 5."
So he's facing the west side of the Pentagon, meaning he cannot be looking out of the north-west or south-east facing windows, he is looking at the Pentagon with the Citgo gas station (or Quarters K Navy Exchange) directly between him and the impact site.
He describes the plane as coming in over his right shoulder, not overhead, which would put it to the right of the gas station from his perspective, therefore making him a....
SoC witness.
That account also seems to jive with what Terry Morin and Edward Paik have been saying.
Can you email me at email@example.com. I'd like to talk to you more privately if you don't mind.
Haha! I got my own email address wrong...
It's firstname.lastname@example.com.
I'll stop polluting your comments section now :)
- Craig said...
>>>>Can you email me at email@example.com

New Zealand's internet filtering system went live last month - but the government forgot to mention this to its electorate until its hand was forced by online freedom campaign, Tech Liberty. Thomas Beagle, a spokesman for the group, said he was "very disappointed that the filter is now running" and that its launch had been conducted in such a "stealthy mode". He added: "It's a sad day for the New Zealand internet." It's sad indeed, that things like this are possible in modern democracies.

Google Analytics is a fantastic free tool you can use to better understand your website and be more effective in your online marketing efforts. If your website strategy consists of "set it and forget it," you are missing out on valuable opportunities to gain insight into your online impact. Google Analytics can help you answer questions like:
How many people visit my site each day?
Which pages of my website do they visit most?
Where is my web traffic coming from?
How much time do people spend on my site?
What pages do visitors exit my site from most?
You might be surprised by what you find. For instance, you might discover that more people come to your website from your Linkedin profile instead of a web search, in which case you might want to put more energy into optimizing your website for search. Finding the answers to these questions can help you to see how effective your website is, and make adjustments to your online strategy accordingly.
Google Analytics delivers a plethora of data on your website and can be slightly intimidating if you're not familiar with it. To start, there are a few key metrics you can begin monitoring:
-Bounce rate. This refers to the percentage of people that come to a page on your website and then leave. Ideally, you want visitors to click to other pages on your site, meaning they're interested in getting more information. A high bounce rate (generally something over 60-70%) may can indicate that your website is not well targeted toward the majority of people who visit it, or it may be difficult to navigate. Consider reviewing the pages with a high bounce rate keeping mind that they should be user-friendly, keyword-optimized for your target market, and direct people to other pages on your site through links.
-Top entry pages. Google Analytics can show you which pages of your site most visitors enter through. You might be surprised to find that your homepage is not necessarily your top entry page. This can give you some insight into which pages are giving visitors their first impression of your site so you can structure and design them accordingly.
-Top exit pages. Much like the entry pages, you can determine which pages visitors are most likely to leave your site from. By pinpointing these pages, you may be able to determine if there's a specific reason people tend to leave your site. Maybe these pages have broken links, are poorly designed, have insufficient information, or otherwise function improperly. Once you understand why visitors are leaving your site, you can address those problems.
