From facing a bill of $390 for some medication, just one medication, my husband was able to get it for $18.95. We couldn't believe it, we thought it was a joke! I thought it was a scam! ... We're currently saving about $600 a month just on 4 different medications. That makes a huge difference. — Rebecca
Blink has changed my life because after I lost my job... I was unable to afford prescriptions because I had no health insurance, like many of us Americans. With Blink, I was able to get all my prescriptions. — Farrian

Were the Cubs suffering from a post-Milwaukee hangover in Friday's 3-0 loss to Pittsburgh, or would things have been different if they had been able to play a night game at Wrigley Field?
The question can't be answered, but the Cubs are hoping to do something in the future regarding the city ban on playing home night games on weekends.
As the team prepares for next Friday's 20th anniversary of the first scheduled Wrigley Field night game, the Cubs plan on asking for a change in the city ordinance prohibiting Friday and Saturday night home games, according to club sources.
The shutout loss to right-hander Jeff Karstens could be used as Exhibit A in the Cubs' argument for Friday night games. Making his Pirates' debut, Karstens blanked them on five singles over six innings, and three relievers held them hitless over the final three. The Pirates scored three runs off Jason Marquis (6-7) in six innings and their pitchers cruised through the Cubs' lineup.
"Everybody needs a day off," third baseman Aramis Ramirez said. "We play a lot of day games … and it's hot."
In February 1988, when the City Council gave its approval for a limited schedule of Cubs night games—eight in '88 and 18 games through 2002—it did so on the condition that no night games be scheduled on weekends. The idea was to curb rowdiness and ensure local residents an easier time finding parking. Sunday night games are allowed to accommodate national TV and postseason play only.
The Cubs will argue the influx of bars and restaurants in Wrigleyville the last two decades has changed the area so drastically that parking would be an issue regardless of whether the Cubs are playing at night. And many residents have permit parking on their streets anyway.
In 2004, the Cubs won city approval to increase the number of night games to 22, then 26 in '05 and 30 in '06. Eventually the Cubs would like to have as many as 40 night games a year.
For now, however, they're just hoping for the option of scheduling night games on Fridays and Saturdays to help the players beat the summer heat and give their bodies a few more hours to adjust after returning late Thursday from some of their road trips.
The Cubs played a day game Thursday in Milwaukee and were home about two hours after they finished. But they looked lifeless against the Pirates, hitting into four double plays.
"I can't say 100 percent we didn't have a letdown," center fielder Jim Edmonds said, citing Karstens, who was acquired last week from the Yankees. "It would be a shame not to give him the credit he deserves."
Edmonds noted that the Cubs had never seen Karstens and didn't have much video on him.
"We have a lot of guys who swing the bats hard, and sometimes we try to do too much or are out in front. Obviously we have to be a little better at situational hitting."
Manager Lou Piniella didn't have much to say about the loss, other than to deny there was a collective hangover from the sweep in Milwaukee.
"I don't see why there should be a hangover," he said. "There are 54 games to go. If you get a hangover this quick, I don't think that's an excuse. Give their pitchers credit."

White Stuff Promotion Code: 20% Discount And Free Delivery
Sometimes it's just nice to wear something that's got a bit of quality, here's a promotion code for the White Stuff for you to help soften the blow.
- Discount: 20%
- Minimum Spend: £0.00
- Promotional Code: FLOOD
- Expiry: 10 JULY 2010 (so you've got ages to muse)
Click HERE to go to White Stuff
When I had my first child way back in 1994 my wardrobe had to deal with a bit of separatism and snobbery! At one end you'd find the ridiculously cheap day to day stuff that's sacrificial after just one season because they stretch, shrink, fall apart etc but were only ever destined to be covered in general baby skank and muck and grime so that was ok; at the other end were the nice things, the things that were expensive by comparison but were made to last and some of them have done to this very day.
White Stuff was always a place I'd go and drool and dream and only very occasionally dare to buy from, things are different for me now but if you're still in the clothing separatist phase then why not use this voucher code to treat yourself to something nice to wear in the summer and change in to when the kids have gone to bed (that's what I used to do to try and keep hold of some sort of 'sophistication').
I really, really like these Dolce pants, they just look so comfy and perfect for relaxing in when all is finally quiet on the western front. Team it up with a white Brighton vest and a pair of these faboosh flip-flops and I reckon you'll feel casual yet elegant whilst you sit outside in the warm evening sunshine with something long and cold to drink.
There are some great things for our PlayPennies dads too, how about these shorts with this white shirt and these flip-flops...? This is just a flavour of what White Stuff has to offer so now it's over to you!
Thanks to ycsb over at HUKD!

- kippy8% quidco too, thanks
- MargaritaTried on 16/5/2010, it is not working...
- Sarah K.Hmmm, it worked ok for me the other day, but you're right it's not working today. Maybe give them a call on 020 7735 8133 (they're lines are open 10am - 4pm on Sundays) or drop them an email to: email@example.com I'd ring - the team on the phones are lovely, I've spoken to them. Let us know what they say if you do decide to call - perhaps they'll apply the discount for your order over the phone! Sarah
- MargaritaHi I have already rang them and email them. The lady on the phone said that it is not a promo code that they are running and asked where I had it from. I said from Topcashback (it is there as well). Then she suggested to ask the provider why the code is being accepted but does not reflect the amount. But I don't know the original source of the code. Where did you get yours from? It's a shame as the items had been in my basket for a few days now and as the code should expire in July I didn't rush...
- BeetlegirlThank you worked first time i managed to save nine pounds on my order.
- Pennythank you! This code worked when I used it this evening (2 June).
- VickyFLOOD just worked for me on 6th June and saved me £7.40 plus free delivery - THANKS!! :-)

25 hours in and finally made it to level 4. (loving the pacing, and the sidequests I've found have been a blast.)
and another aspect I really love about this game, is finding the items (jelly blob, amber relic etc.) is not easy. Like some games, you can just hack away at enemies and they have a 90% drop rate on items like this but in SS it's a lot harder to get the items. (killed around 200 bats and have only maybe claimed 11 claws if that)

*The suggestion will continue as long as needed
After finishing our inventory and weapon effects, we're designing a more advanced combat system that will define how a weapon will damage a target. Since this system is as important as any other feature, we're looking for your opinion and suggestions so that we'll hit the mark.
Here's how the new combat system works:
Armor rating and armor integrity
Most creature in Legends of Ellaria has an armor rating and an armor integrity. Before calculating any damage, the armor rating is calculated based on the integrity of the armor. For instance, if you have an armor of 16, with an armor integrity of 30 out of 60, your actual armor rating is 8 (50% integrity).
Physical damage vs armor and armor integrity
Any weapon (except for some magic effects) has a physical damage. The physical damage is calculated against the armor, and needs to be higher than the armor in order to cause damage to it's target. For instance, if your armor is 8 and you received a damage of 5, you won't suffer any damage.
However, every damage that your armor absorbs will lower your armor integrity, which degrades your armor and makes it more ineffective with each blow. For instance, if you have an armor of 16, with an armor integrity of 30 out of 60, and you received a physical damage of 10, then your armor will only absorb 8 points of damage (50% current integrity of the 16 armor rating). You will then receive a -2 health and a -8 armor integrity (22 out of 60), and will now have an armor rating of 6 instead of 8.
* Depending on your character level, armor integrity slowly regenerates over time
"Ignore armor" effect
Most piercing weapons will have a smaller damage, but will have an "ignore armor" effect. The ignore armor effect ignores some of your armor without causing any damage to your armor or to your helth. For instance, if a weapon has 5 damage and 6 "ignore armor", and you have an armor of 8, then 2 points of damage will be absorbed by your armor, and your health will drop by 3.
* The ignore armor doesn't damage any of your health or your armor integrity.
Fire, Frost and magic effects
Once the physical damage is calculated, other effects may damage you:
- Fire damage - ignores half of your armor for damage calculations
- Frost damage - any damage that penetrates your armor is doubled
- Magic damage - ignores all of your armor
Although these effects are more useful than a regular physical damage, they have the following disadvantages:
- Weapons that holds these effects are rare and expensive
- Magic projectiles that holds these effects don't usually do physical damage
- None of these effects drops your armor integrity(no, fire damage will not melt an armor )
- Resist fire, frost or magic effects can negate these effects
Here's an example:
If you have:
Health - 50
Armor Rating - 16
Armor Integrity- 45/60
(Actual armor rating - 12)
And recieved the damae of:
Physical damage - 5
Ignore armor - 5
Fire damage - 6
- The ignore armor will drop your armor rating from 12 to 7
- The physical damage will not penetrate, but will drop your armor from 7 to 2, and inflict 5 points of damage to your armor integrity
- The fire damage will ignore half of your armor (one point), and will do a damage of 4 to your health.
The result will be:
Health - 46
Armor rating - 16
Armor integrity - 40 / 60
(actual armor rating - 10)
With this in mind, blunt weapons will do more physical damage but will have less armor piercing. Arrows will have more "ignore armor" than actual physical damage, and swords will have a balance between armor piercing and damage.
We will appreciate any suggestion or feedback on this topic. Since this suggestion is also a discussion, you can post any comment as long as it's related to this topic.

Eran CreevyDirector and Screenwriter
Eran Creevy grew up loving movies working in his Dad's video shop, drawing comics, photocopying them and selling them to kids in his neighbourhood. He began his career in the film industry as a runner in post production and subsequently as an assistant director on a number of movies. These roles included working as a runner on films such as Layer Cake, Wimbledon, Bridget Jones 2 and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and as a set assistant for Woody Allen.
When the opportunity to direct his first music video came along Eran jumped at the opportunity resulting in THIS IS REAL, for Asher D. With Rory Aitken and Ben Pugh producing through their company Between the Eyes, Eran directed music videos for Riz MC (who as Riz Ahmed later starred in Shifty) the Ministry of Sound, the Utah Saints, and Take That among many others. Music videos led on to commercials for brands including Coca–‐Cola and Nike.
Eran, however, was obsessed with movies and focused on writing Shifty, his first screenplay which was subsequently selected for the Film London Microwave scheme. Shifty, was critically very well received and nominated for 5 British Independent Film Awards in 2008 and Eran was nominated for a BAFTA in the category of Best Debut by a British Filmmaker. Eran also won best screenplay and the bronze horse at the Stockholm Film Festival and the WGGB best screenplay by a newcomer award. Shifty played at the London Film Festival 2008 and was released theatrically in the UK by Metrodome in April 2009. Shifty has made a number of international sales including a recent sale in the US.
Eran then wrote and directed Welcome To The Punch, developing the project again with Ben Pugh and Rory Aitken of Between the Eyes. Welcome To The Punch was completed in June 2012 and has distributed by Momentum Pictures in the UK and by IFC Films in the US in March 2013. Welcome To The Punch was Executive Produced by Ridley Scott of Scott Free Films.
Eran is currently in pre–‐production on Autobahn, a project being set up with Ben Pugh and Rory Aitken under the new management and production company 42, which is set to shoot in Germany in March 2014. Eran also has several of his own original ideas in development as well as developing a number of projects with other writers that he would like to direct.

2013 Lincoln MKX Brings More Luxury to Crossover MarketBy blogsadmin | Posted in Lincoln MKX, Vehicle comparison on Thursday, March 21st, 2013 at 3:28 pm
2013 Lincoln MKX vs. 2013 Buick Enclave
The days of one manufacturer's vehicle being head and shoulders above that of a competitor are gone or exceedingly rare at best. Because of the ubiquity of technological advances, a clear winner in any segment is difficult to declare. At Mike Castrucci of Alexandria we are taking a look at comparing a couple of relative newcomers to the game, looking at the 2013 Lincoln MKX vs. the 2013 Buick Enclave. Both are midsized crossover SUVs that are long on luxury, competitive in their pricing and have an impressive array of standard features.
Without an engine no vehicle will go anywhere, so that is as good a place to start as any for looking at the 2013 Lincoln MKX vs. the 2013 Buick Enclave. The Lincoln MKX has the bigger engine sporting a 3.7-liter, V-6 with 305-horsepower at your disposal. That power is transmitted to the wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission. You also have a choice between front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. Front-wheel drive models will get 19 mpg (city) and 26 mpg (highway); that number falls off a bit to 17 mpg (city) and 23 mpg (highway) with all-wheel drive. The Buick entrant has a 3.6-liter, V-6 that produces 288-horsepower and also has a six-speed transmission and a choice between front- and all-wheel drive. The new Enclave doesn't quite have the fuel-economy of the 2013 Lincoln MKX in Cincinnati, with 17 mpg (city) and 24 (highway) with front-wheel drive and with the all-wheel drive those scores drop a few miles per gallon more.
Many of the standard features in the comparison of the 2013 Lincoln MKX vs. the 2013 Buick Enclave are just about identical. Where the Lincoln SUV starts to pull away from its General Motors rival, is the standard luxury that comes in the base trim model. The 2013 MKX comes with standard leather upholstery, keyless entry and ignition through the use of coded keyfob. The new Lincoln MKX also comes with a SD card reader so you can view digital photos on the go as well as customize the touchscreen interface that operates the MyLincoln Touch telematics array.
To take a test drive near Cincinnati with the 2013 Lincoln MKX contact a Mike Castrucci of Alexandria sales professional today. Also don't forget about the rest of our new Lincoln cars in Cincinnati as well as our inventory of the best used Ford cars near Cincinnati.

Gene Haas Foundation donates $50,000 (USD) to Skills Canada
The Skills Canada National Competition was held May 27 – 30 in Saskatoon, SK. This year's competition welcomed more than 500 young competitors from all over Canada, and thousands of spectators cheering them on. Haas Factory Outlet – A Division of Thomas Skinner is honoured to have contributed to the success of the event. HFO-Thomas Skinner, with the support of Haas Automation, provided the machining centres for the competition – two ST-20 CNC 2-axis lathes and two VF-2 CNC vertical machining centres – as well as a Haas Mini Mill for the Try-A-Trade® station.
The Gene Haas Foundation donated $50,000 (USD) in scholarship funding to Skills, to be distributed to the winners of this year's competition. The Gene Haas Foundation was formed in 1999 to fund the needs of the local community and other deserving charities, at the discretion of its founder, Mr. Gene Haas. High on the list of priorities of the Gene Haas Foundation is supporting manufacturing education, which encompasses many types of programs that inspire and educate young people about careers in manufacturing. In addition, the Gene Haas Foundation provides scholarship funding for students to attend colleges that teach machining-based skills.
"We are very proud of our sponsorship role with Skills Canada, and are excited to be a part of moulding the next generation of skilled trade workers in the metalworking industry," says Paul Krainer, Owner and President of HFO-Thomas Skinner. The Haas machines were equipped with tooling supplied by Sandvik, and students were provided with precision measuring tools provided by Mitutoyo – both supplier partners of HFO-Thomas Skinner.
HFO-Thomas Skinner also provided the manual lathes and mills used in the Precision Machining competitions. In addition to sponsorship of the Skills Canada National Competition, HFO-Thomas Skinner and Haas Automation are also proud suppliers of both the BC Skills and Alberta Skills Competitions held earlier this year.
"As the shortage of skilled workers continues to rise," says Krainer, "we believe it is the responsibility of the business community to get involved and promote education of trade and technology. We take that commitment very seriously, and are proud to support this great event. We would like to congratulate all of the competitors in this year's competition, and look forward to being a proud sponsor of the Skills Canada National Competition for many years to come."
The Skills Canada National Competition not only provides a platform for young Canadians to showcase their skills, but also provides an opportunity for visiting students and school groups to take part in a variety of Try-A-Trade® and Technology stations. Activities ranged from changing tires on a real NASCAR racecar at the DeWalt booth, to using a virtual welder to "weld" a bead across a coupon at the Government of Saskatchewan booth.
As part of the Try-A-Trade® opportunity, a Haas Mini Mill was set up, and anyone attending the event was encouraged to step-up and have a real, hands-on experience running the machine to make a personalized key chain to take home.
Special recognition goes the following competitors for finishing at the top in their events at this year competition:
Precision Machining – Post Secondary
Phillip Beug, SK – GOLD; Patrick Unruh, MB – SILVER; Cory Mailman, NS – BRONZE
Precision Machining – Secondary
Catherine Gagnon - Côté, QC – GOLD; Jorn Peeters, AB – SILVER; Johannes Kister, MB – BRONZE
CNC Machining – Post Secondary
Jake Langley, NS – GOLD; Evan Sherren, PE – SILVER; Alexandar Bozinovski, ON – BRONZE

"We were fortunate enough to get a Crysis 3 Multiplayer pre-alpha code and were able to download and play the game throughout the weekend. This is, of course, the pre-alpha version of the game. That's pretty early on in its development.
Check out the really cool montage we put together for you over the weekend.
You don't have the option to customize a class, but they do provide you with four pre-set classes to chose from. The Active Camouflage and Maximum Armor is available to all four classes, just like in the previous Crysis. We discuss many classes and more of our feel of the beta."
Any fans, I just wish it was a public beta for all of you to try. What do you think about Crysis? I enjoyed a full weekend of action with this. As usual, Crytek is a masterpiece : )

Recently got Bold News theme and I noticed there are two options for home page display. Under General Settings, there is a Post Content option where you can pick either Excerpt or Full Content. Choosing Excerpt shows only a preview of each post, but displays the current number of comments on the post. Full Content shows the entire post but not the number of comments.
Is there a way to have the home page display Full Content for all posts AND display the number of comments as well? Would love to look through the WooTheme support forums but it seems I have to pay extra on top of what I already paid for the theme.
The blog I need help with is moirasplace.wordpress.com.

Re: Carmen GRIMWOOD Allende de Ballivian, place of death?
Freddy Mendez 11/01/09
Hi Freddy,
Thanks for your reply.Although I had found and downloaded the full-text of the biography of Adolfo Ballivian that you referenced, I had not yet encountered therein the date of his marriage (which is listed as Dec. 22nd, not 21st).
With regard to Carmen's birth date, until now I had it as 1828, based on the following anonymous and unsubstantiated (no micro-film) IGI entry:
However, I find the date that you provide (1835) more crediblein light of the mention of her extreme youth in the section of Adolfo's biography where their courting is described.If born in 1835, she would have turned 16 shortly before their marriage.
Many thanks,
Philip Decker

Here's a really bizarre setup for victim blaming: in India, the state-owned Indian Ordnance Factory (IOF) has just started marketing what it calls a "handgun for women." The Nirbheek, as the model is known, is being proposed as a handy self-defense tool for young women who might be at risk of rape. The idea of arming the populace as a defense against rape isn't new (it's very popular in the United States), but it has a number of problems, all of which may come to bear in this situation.
This gun is made from a lightweight titanium alloy, making it discreet and easy to handle — all the better to fit in your purse, my dear! In a rather sexist comment, the general manager of the IOF explained that the gun comes in a maroon velvet case "because women love their ornaments."
Yet, this supposed solution to rape isn't being marketed at a very accessible price point. The Nirbheek retails for almost $2,000 US, which is well over the average annual income for Indians, according to Al Jazeera. Critics of the gun have pointed out that women most at risk of rape are low-income women, and thus are unlikely to be able to afford a gun that's worth more than they make in a year. Furthermore, of course, there's the problem that the majority of rapes in India, as elsewhere, are committed by people known to the victim, not strangers who leap out of bushes who can be easily frightened off with handguns.
The IOF says that "once a target of rape whips out a handgun, the element of surprise is sure to scare the life out of most of the persons who attempt rape." However, that may not necessarily be the case. Aside from the fact that victims may know their rapists (in as many as 94% of cases in India according to some studies), which would probably make it hard for them to overcome the emotional barrier involved in aiming a gun at a friend or acquaintance, they may not be able to act quickly enough to draw, ready, and fire a gun. The marketing of a gun to women as a rape prevention tool also reiterates the myth that rape must be violent — and women must physically resist rape with every available tool — for it to "count" or be considered a "real rape."
While brutal gang rapes in India have caught the news recently, these aren't the only rapes happening in the country. Cynical critics of the Nirbheek point out that it may just be a marketing ploy capitalizing on the atmosphere of fear created by heavy reporting on such violent incidents — as though Indian women can be scared into buying a gun by fearmongering about rape.
Gun ownership is a serious responsibility, and experienced gun owners not just in India but around the world caution that simply buying a gun doesn't protect people from violence. People need to be comfortable and familiar with the weapons they own, and they need to be prepared to fire them. Furthermore, a gun in the hands of an inexperienced person can often become a weapon turned against that person. How many Nirbheeks will be used to commit rape at gunpoint as a rapist wrestles the weapon from the hands of a victim?

Jagan, I haven't used any of the server side processors, but on the client side have used "FormsPlayer" (http://www.FormsPlayer.com/) with some excellent results, and am currently working with an in-house ActiveX dll written as a client side component (written in VB it uses the IE "HTC" architecture and therefore sits very comfortably with style sheets, and can easily be customised for non-compliant extensions to the xForm specification). It is my belief that client side processing makes better use of the xForm features such as relevance checking and instance validation with schema without "bothering" the server. I don't fully understand why so many companies put more processing power on every desktop than NASA used to get to the moon, then overload a couple of servers with all their applications.

Cheap hostel outside the city centre Apr 18, 2013
This cosy hostel is suitable for few days, it is quite far from the city centre and the riverside, but it has some restaurants and also the Russian market just outside of it. I've stayed in the 4-bed dorm on the second floor, bathroom was shared and the free WiFi service was working perfectly. Beds were queen size, the dorm with a balcony is located upstairs at the end of the corridor which presents, on the side of it, private rooms and the bathroom, which is spacious and clean and no problems for hot showers. On the first floor they have the kitchen and a bar, and every everyday they offer discounts on the third cocktail purchased. Value for money it's average but the only downside is the location, you could only walk to the Tuol Sleng genocide museum which is just 1.5 km far, and a ride to the central market requires 20 minutes with a tuk tuk, be prepared to pay 5/6 dollars for it, all the drivers will tell you that the traffic here is challenging and deserve that price. I'm wondering if this hostel/guesthouse is still there, because after my staying the website in which I booked asked me to give a feedback, I did one month later but the venue wasn't offered anymore.

Dreams of international medicine
Scott Jelinek, a newly minted college grad from Wellesley, is deferring his admission to medical school to work with underprivileged students in Colorado.
After three different trips to Kenya, Uganda, Ghana, and Mozambique, the Boston College graduate still wishes to do more before he gets down to the business of providing safe medical care to the rest of the world, according to a press release from the college.
Jellinek was a Boston College Presidential Scholar who majored in international studies with a concentration in health care policy and a minor in theology. He was accepted into the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York.
"After graduate school, I plan on working in the area of global public health and focusing on disparities in health education and working with policy in the public service sector," Jelinek said in the statement.
He said he intends to follow in the footsteps of Dr. Paul Farmer, a Massachusetts native and one of the founders of the worldwide public health organization Partners in Health.
"I always knew when applying to college that I was interested in medicine and traveling," said Jelinek, "but it was not until I read a book on Dr. Farmer, and then going to Ghana, that I realized my interest in medicine, service, and international travel was a passion for international public health."
At his recent graduation ceremony, Jelinek was awarded the Mary A. & Katherine G. Finneran Commencement Award, given to the student who has achieved outstanding success in studies, while also devoting time and talents to other activities for the enrichment of the college and student life.
He also was inducted into the Order of the Cross and Crown, an honor society for graduating senior men and women who, while achieving an average of at least an A-, have established records of unusual service and leadership on campus.
Jelinek has already shared his data and research findings at a number of academic conferences and has published articles in Boston College's economic research journal, The Eagletarian, and in the University's bioethics research journal, Ethos, according to the release.
Jelinek will study public health and global health at Mount Sinai. He will also obtain a Masters in Education from Teach for America, which he will earn while teaching science to secondary school students.

A teenage driver has slammed his car into an apartment block in Melbourne's inner south-east after a police chase, forcing an early-morning evacuation for residents.
About 20 people had to be evacuated from the three-storey block at the corner of High Street and Punt Road in Windsor.
Scene at the corner of High st and Punt rd Windsor where a car crashed into a block of flats earlier @theage_photo pic.twitter.com/sRn2cukolY — Penny Stephens (@byPennyStephens)
June 8, 2014
Police noticed a man driving erratically on Dandenong Road about 3.25am on Monday, spokesman Senior Constable Adam West said.
They initiated a chase after the car slowed and turned into Chapel Street, but soon called it off due to safety concerns, Senior Constable West said.
The driver then sped up and crashed into the block of units.
Metropolitan Fire Brigade spokeswoman Heather Stockton said crews arrived at the scene just before 3.30am and evacuated about 20 residents from the block. A specialist MFB unit stayed overnight to stabilise the building, she said.
Engineers are due at the site later on Monday. The car has been removed from the wreckage.
Residents told radio station 3AW they felt the building shake as the car smashed into the kitchen of a corner unit.
Ambulance Victoria spokesman Ray Rowe said paramedics treated the driver at the scene, but did not take him to hospital. No one else was injured in the crash.
Victoria Police spokeswoman Kelly Yates said the 19-year-old Hallam man was breath tested and recorded a blood alcohol level of 0.117.
She said police suspended the teenager's licence, and he is expected to be charged on summons with offences including evading police, reckless conduct and driving in a dangerous manner.

House Speaker Pete Kott says creating the permanent fund dividend program was one of the worst mistakes Alaska ever made.
The Eagle River Republican said he does not propose eliminating the dividend because it has become an important part of the economy. But he said the Alaska Permanent Fund, the state's oil-wealth savings account, needs to shift from being a "sacred cow" to become a "cash cow for the state."
Kott and leaders of the House Finance Committee discussed proposals dealing with the permanent fund and the budget during a news conference Monday.
The comments came at a time when Republican Gov. Frank Murkowski is considering introducing a proposal to use income from the fund to pay for government. It's also a time when the fund's losses in the stock market for the first time threaten the state's ability to pay dividends to residents.
"Many Alaskans believe this is an entitlement. I don't," Kott said. "I think the permanent fund dividend was one of the worst things we got ourselves into a number of years ago.
"But having said that, since we're there, I think it's important to recognize that the dividend has played an important part in the economy of Alaska, and to just cut that off would be, I think, totally an embarrassment to this Legislature and to the state," Kott said.
Alaskans receive dividends every year based on an average of the past five years' income from the $22.5 billion permanent fund. Last year's dividend was around $1,500 per person.
Kott and Finance Co-Chairmen John Harris, a Valdez Republican, and Bill Williams, a Saxman Republican, were asked about a bill introduced Friday by Rep. Harry Crawford, an Anchorage Democrat.
Crawford proposes using some of the $1.9 billion Constitutional Budget Reserve, a state savings account, to pay dividends should the permanent fund losses continue.
Dividends are supposed to be paid from the earnings reserve account of the permanent fund, but because of declines in the stock market, there may not be enough money in that account to fully fund the dividend this year.
The constitutional budget reserve was created by voters in 1990 and has been used in most years since to make up for state budget shortfalls. At the state's current rate of spending, the budget reserve account is expected to be empty by June 2005.
Crawford said he knows using money from the fund to pay dividends this year would hasten the day the budget reserve runs dry. But he said Alaska's economy will suffer a double hit this year if dividends can't be paid, and if Murkowski makes deep cuts in the budget. Murkowski is scheduled to reveal his budget Wednesday.
"It will absolutely devastate the economy if there's no permanent fund dividends," Crawford said. "I don't intend to sit around here and let the economy tank by just saying we lived well in the good times and we're going to live real bad in the bad times."
The Republican majority leaders voiced little support for Crawford's plan.
"What would the constituents out there think? 'We're just trying to change the formula for our political behind,' " Williams said. "I don't think we should. We should stick to what the formula says."
Many other important needs exist that the state cannot fully fund, such as education, public safety and transportation, Williams said.
Kott said the Crawford proposal is a "novel approach" that deserves a look. But he said Alaskans need to recognize that the permanent fund will go up and down with the market, and how much is available for dividends each year is not up to the Legislature.
"We'll have those $1,500 dividends and we'll have those $200 dividends," Kott said. "That fluctuation is built into the system right now and there may be a point where there is no dividend."
House Republican leaders expressed more interest in an idea being considered by the Republican governor. Murkowski is considering a constitutional amendment that asks voters to change the method of determining annual payouts from the permanent fund. The proposal also may include a provision to replace state funds spent on education with permanent fund earnings.
Murkowski's spokesman John Manly said the proposal is being considered and the governor may outline it further during his budget address to the Legislature on Wednesday.
The concept - without the provision for spending part of the money on education - was recommended by the permanent fund board two years ago.
The board's proposal assumed the fund will grow by an average of 8 percent a year. It called for using 5 percent of the fund's market value each year for dividends or other spending. That would leave the remaining 3 percent of growth for inflation proofing.
Proponents say that proposal would provide for a less volatile income stream than the current method of determining dividends.
"I'm beginning to lean more in that direction," Harris said.

Nach Baliye 7: Mrunal and Sharad eliminated
The latest couple to bid farewell to the Nach stage is the writer-actor jodi of Sharad Chandra Tripathi and Mrunal Thakur.
The couple before stepping into the reality show kept their relationship under wraps. The duo did churn out few impressive performances.
Chetan Bhagat had his share of 'writers' bonding with Sharad making for a fun watch for the viewers.
Their eviction will be showcased in the coming days.

The book, compiled by writers and researchers Alex Strick Van Linschoten and Felix Kuehn and recently published by Columbia University Press, purports to show another side to the picture of the famed bearded beheaders.
The collection "goes beyond humanizing the Taliban toward understanding them," says a jacket blurb by Harvard's Michael Semple, a former deputy European Union representative n Afghanistan.
"Anyone claiming to be an Afghan expert should read this book before giving their next opinion," writes novelist Mohammed Hanif, author of "A Case of Exploding Mangoes."
Military and intelligence analysts might find it well worth pursuing, at least as a "know thine enemy" exercise. But it falls a bit short of what American readers may see as great poetry.
For example, there's the catchy "Strike the enemies of our village with stones!"
"Youths! Be alert! they are spying on our village.
Depart for Jihad; this is a legal obligation.
Kill the traitors of the village in the mountains.
The army of the crazed crusaders will withdraw."
In Pashtun, it likely sounds more poetic. And remember, these are supposed to be memorized and sung.
Then there's this one, entitled "Give me your turban," written by a woman who's not happy with some of her fellow Taliban:
"Give me your turban and take my veil,
Give me the sword so that the matter will be dealt with.
. . .
Don't just call yourselves men, how long will you lie there
You sit among the girls; may calamity fall down on your
But there are other poems, such as "Great Guiding Star."
"When you were born, time brought changes;
Stars were falling on the earth, beauty brought color.
Spring arrived everywhere, red blossoms hugged each others
As you brought the love from love's world."
Heckuva a lot better than:
"There once was a guy from Kabul

AFAIK onlysuse's Linux port is currently using Xen's PAT support, and it does notactually use the WT cache attribute. Then Xen's PAT[0-3] would match whatLinux expects, and Linux apparently does not risk using PAT[4-7] because ofprocessor errata so their values are irrelevant. Linux can check that it isrunning on Xen with suitable PAT setup by reading MSR_IA32_CR_PAT andchecking PAT[0-3], and only enable PAT usage in case of a match. -- Keir

"WEASLEY!" a balding man boomed, and Rose looked up from the papers. "Bloody good job on the Forrester case! Coming for a drink with the team?"
"Thanks, Harold," Rose called back, smiling apologetically. "But I have other plans."
"Rosie," a woman named Janine said, as she passed Rose's desk. "The veil was the right choice - it's like you have an inner eye for these things!"
"Thank you, Janine," Rose said. "See you on Monday."
With a content smile, Rose leaned back in her chair, admiring her work. The papers in front of her were no boring documents at all. They were a decision between life and death, actually. Well, atleast to the soon-to-be married couple, anyway.
So much had changed in Rose's life; she had a job as a top wedding designer - and she was her own boss, too. Everything from the wedding invitations to the bride's gown was in her hands, and every couple had praised Rose from head to toe for the wedding she had individually designed for them.
Rose had her own apartment in the heart of London now. It was a simple, open loft-apartment - perfect for a designer, in fact. She rarely got any guests, so it didn't matter if the entire place was filled with ruffles, silk, flower examples, different shades of a certain colour, and literally decorated with photographs and Post-It! notes. It made perfectly sense to Rose.
Rose watched the empty office space before her, letting her eyes take in the empty desks, the quiet sound of the computers whirring everywhere. She was always the last one to leave - and not only because she had to lock up. In fact, she quite liked being the last one to go. It gave her the much awaited break from her hectic schedule to just sit back and take in everything she had accomplished.
It made her feel alive.
Rose sighed, as she pushed aside a few papers, and picked up a roughly drawn scetch of a wedding gown. She leaned closer to the dim desk lamp, narrowing her eyes at the soddily made drawing.
Her heart made an uncomfortable lurch, as she realized it wasn't just any wedding gown. No, it wasn't for a client - it was her own wedding gown.
Almost a year had passed since Rose had found out about Scorpius and Dom. Almost ten months had passed since the divorce had been official. Almost nine months had passed since she had seen Scorpius.
And for almost a year had she loved that bloody S.O.B undevotedly and utterly.
Rose dropped the drawing, and quickly gathered her things. She fumbled for her bag, and switched off the lamp, before walking down the dark aisle, passing desk after desk. She patiently waited for the elevator to come back up, tapping her foot calmly against the stone floor.
Rose took a step forward, but froze, as she saw someone standing in the elevator.
It was Dom.
"Rose," Dom breathed, her hair pulled in a messy ponytail.
"Dom," Rose said icily. "How did you get in?"
"I snuck in when a balding man left," she said quickly, as Rose shoved past her.
"I'll fire Harold," Rose muttered angrily, pressing the elevator button impatiently.
Of course she wouldn't actually fire him.
Maybe just send him to the next in-laws meeting.
"Rose," Dom said again, as the elevator started to move down, painfully slowly. "I miss you."
"Right," Rose said, staring stubbornly ahead.
"I know you saw me two months ago," Dom accused, taking a new approach to the situation. "In the park, Rose - I know you saw me, and I saw you!"
"How lovely," Rose said, as the elevator reached the first floor. "Remind me to never go to that park again, then."
"Rose!" Dom called after her, as Rose walked out.
Rose ignored Dom, nearly smashing the door in Dom's face as she gracefully exited the building. She was aware of Dom following her the entire time, until she finally had had it. Rose swivelled around, almost making Dom bump into her.
"What do you want from me, Dom!?" she snarled, her cheeks red. "You got what you wanted; you got Scorpius all for yourself! Why aren't you enjoying your perfect life, huh!? What more could you possibly want, huh!?"
"I WANT MY BEST FRIEND!" Dom yelled, breathing angrily. "I want my best friend back, I want... I want..."
"Too bad you can't always get what you want," Rose growled, turning around.
"It never meant anything," Dom called after Rose, making Rose stop again. "He never loved me, I never loved him - I realize that... now."
Rose looked down, but didn't turn around. She waited for Dom to continue with her pathetic pleading, but there was no sound. For a moment Rose was sure that Dom had left, but as she looked around, the blonde girl was still there, looking desperately at Rose.
"You expect me to forgive you," she started slowly. "On the basis of your remorse, is that it?"
"No," Dom whispered. "Just... give me a chance, Rosie..."
Even if Rose felt immense hate towards Dom, it still pained her to watch Dom hold back tears. She had been Dom's best friend for such a long period of time to know that Dom didn't show emotions too well, and seeing Dom like this was... painful.
"Scorpius loves you," Dom continued. "And I'm not here to talk for him, believe me," she quickly added, as Rose glowered at her. "If you would only see the state of him, Rose--"
"I've seen him," Rose snapped, clenching her jaw. "Nine months ago."
"Then you know he's not well, Rose," Dom said.
It was true - Rose had never seen Scorpius in a worse state. Even if she had only seen a glimpse of him, it was enough to tell her he wasn't well. His hair looked like it needed a cut. He hadn't shaved for weeks. His clothes looked like something he had picked from the floor without bothering to check if they were clean or not. It seemed like he only bothered to leave his house to escape the feeling of being trapped.
And James had told Rose that he still lived in the same beautiful house that had once been her home, too. Apparently, nothing had changed; not one single furniture had been moved, not a single picture on the wall had been lift down.
As Rose had heard, not even their wedding picture from the bedroom.
"I think he's about to lose it," Dom said quietly, looking down. "For good, Rose..."
"What's it to me? He's no longer my husband," Rose spat, and spun around again.
She hadn't taken more than two steps, when Dom spoke again, "He needs you, Rose!"
Rose stopped, and took a deep breath. "No, he doesn't."
"Rose, he won't listen to anyone else than you!" Dom cried. "He'll listen to you! Try to get this into your stubborn head, Weasley! You have to help him!"
Rose looked at Dom over her shoulder, just as a cool wind brushed a few curls of her dark hair over her shoulders. "Why should I?"
"Because," Dom started, her voice trembling. "B-because you're irreplacable."
Rose stared at the house towering over her. She carefully pushed open the gate, wincing at the loud noise it made. As she let go of it, it fell right off, and she stopped to stare at it.
In all honesty, the place was a dump.
Rose let her eyes quickly take in the front lawn, as she wlaked slowly towards the front door. The lawn was pretty much dead; it had an ugly yellow colour to it, and all the beautiful flowers were gone.
Dead, no doubt about it.
"What am I doing?" Rose murmured to herself, but pressed the doorbell anyway. "This is insane..." she muttered, and looked over her shoulder to take in the hideous state of the yard.
But if Rose thought her being there was insane, it was nothing comapred to what she was faced with as the door opened. She looked around quickly, finding herself eye to eye with Scorpius Malfoy, her ex-husband.
He wore a plaid shirt that hung loosely over his body, and under it a white t-shirt - well, atleast it probably used to be white once. His jeans were a few sizes too big, and Rose could tell Scorpius had been forced to make soem new holes in his belt to keep his jeans from sliding down.
He was a mess. Just like the yard.
"Scorpius," Rose said formally, staring at him with mild disgust.
He said nothing, just stared at her with wide eyes, and a Firewhiskey bottle hanging from his hand. He leaned heavily against the door, his entire body tense.
"S-Scorp?" Rose said carefully, tilting her head to the side with a frown. "Can you hear me?"
"Yes," he croaked at last. "I'm... I'm just... a little... shocked. To see you. Here," he said, frowning slightly. "Are you real?"
Rose felt the corner of her mouth twitch. "As far as I'm aware, yes, I'm real," she said.
Scorpius let his eyes run over her body, and Rose shifted uncomfortably. She had forgot just how piercing his eyes were, and it didn't make it any easier that Scorpius was entirely open with his stare, not even trying to hide the sudden lust in his eyes.
"I'm here to talk sense to you," Rose stated, folding her hands awkwardly, trying to signal that she was there only because she was forced to.
Which wasn't exactly the case.
"Talk sense? To me?" Scorpius repeated quietly, before scoffing loudly. He pushed himself from the door, and swayed back inside, shaking his head in disbelief. "Then you might as well leave..."
Rose stared after him, completely stunned. She did not drag her arse across the city on a Saturday, to the countryside, just to be told by her stupid ex-husband to shove it, because it seemed to have no effect on him whatsoever.
Rose followed inside, and slammed the door after her. She flinched as she was greeted by the strong scent of alcohol, which only grew stornger as she walked towards the kitchen.
"I am not a pathetic phonebook seller you can turn away just like that!" she exclaimed, as Scorpius leaned against the counter, his forehead resting against the cupboards. "I am your ex-wife!"
"Because you chose to be," he whispered, without looking at her.
"Because you forced me to make that decision!" Rose shot back.
"Because I loved you too much to begin with!" Scorpius boomed, suddenly wheeling around to stand face to face with her, so that Rose had to retreat several steps - only to feel the dining table hit her thighs. "I loved you... so much" Scorpius said fiercely, his warm breath smelling strongly to old alcohol. "That it hurt to even think about what a rejection from you would feel like. You can't even start to comprehend the pain... the pain to simply love you, love you more than my own life..."
Rose stared at his face so close to hers, feeling scared for the first time in her life in his presence. She had always felt entirely safe with him, but this was different. They were different now. He had changed, she had changed... and while she had changed for the better, he had changed for the worse.
But deep down he was still the same boy who had after some stammering and stuttering asked her out - and proposed later on in life. He was still that same awkward boy - he had just forgotten.
Without even realising what she was doing, she gently placed her hand against his cheek. She watched as Scorpius closed his eyes, and leaned into her palm, inhaling deeply. She didn't move, as he carefully tilted his head, kissing her palm gently.
Suddenly, the entire situation hit Rose like a Bludger in the guts. She was suddenly very much aware of Scorpius' other hand, resting almost casually against the table, only inches from her body. He was still kissing her palm, and her other hand had somehow curled around Scorpius' neck, her fingers running through his hair slowly.
With a quick movement, Rose wheeled away from him, but was caught by surprise as Scorpius grabbed her wrists tightly in his hands, spinning her around again, and against the wall. Rose gasped, as she felt him press her hard against the wall, but before she could utter another word, his lips were already on hers.
For a second or two, Rose fought against it. She tried to push him away with her own body, but soon realised it was pointless. Not only because she knew he was stronger, and ahd the upper hand, but also because she knew she didn't want him to stop.
She had missed him.
So much. More than she had even realised.
"I love you, Rose Weasley," Scorpius whispered huskily against her lips, his nose bumping against hers.
"I love you too, Scorpius Malfoy," Rose said, blinking away the tears.
Then he kissed her again, harder than before.
And the room spun around, and around and around...
Rose couldn't wrap her head around the current situation.
She had been absolutely sure that she would never be in this kind of situation; with Scorpius Malfoy's arms around her naked body.
She hadn't slept all night, and she knew Scorpius hadn't, either. She pretended to be asleep everytime Scorpius checked if she was sleeping. It was difficult to pretend to be asleep when he kissed her neck softly, sighing contently.
But most of the day, Rose lay very still in his arms, watching the sun rise entirely, and set again.
And it wasn't until the sun was almost entirely gone, when Rose decided it was time to 'wake up'.
"Scorp?" she said with a tiny voice.
"Yes?" he murmured, as if he knew she had been awake the entire time.
"You really fucked me up," she said, staring at the sun disappearing behind the trees.
He knew what she meant.
"I know," he said quietly, and Rose felt him grow tense.
"I don't know if I can trust you," she continued.
"I know," Scorpius said again.
"It could happen again," Rose said.
"It won't," he said firmly.
"You say that now," Rose accused, and squirmed in his arms to see his face. "But how will I know?"
Scorpius stared at her for a moment, before getting up from the floor. Rose blushed faintly, as she realised she was staring at his body, before he snatched his pants and pulled them on. She quickly wrapped herself in the sheet that had covered the sofa earlier, and stood up. She watched Scorpius disappear around the corner, and heard him go upstairs. After a moment of doubt, she followed.
All the furnitures she passed were like the ones in the livingroom; covered with white sheets. It looked like no one had lived there in years. The dust was covering every surface, and Rose let her fingers run along the dark wooden table with family pictures, at the top of the stairs.
It was as if she had never left the place.
It was like coming home again.
She heard a door creak, and continued down the corridor. She saw that the bedroom door was slightly open. Rose carefully entered the room, expecting to see more covered furnitures and dust.
Instead, she met the exact opposite.
The bedroom seemed to be the only cleaned room. There was no dust, no covered furnitures - in fact, it seemed like someone had spent a great deal to keep it clean. The bed was beautifully made, with Rose's favourite flowers, daisies, on her side of the bed.
What caught Rose's eye was a familiar piece of clothing; the blue cashmere sweater she had bought for Scorpius - neatly folded on his side of the bed.
"This is not how I left it," she pointed out, touching the sweater carefully. "I fold the shirts--"
"The other way," Scorpius finished with a smile. "I know. I... I tried to fold them like you showed me, but... you're right handed, I'm not. It didn't look good, so I folded them like I always do."
"The wrong way," Rose whispered automatically, remembering the ancient argument she always had with Scorpius about how he folded his clothes 'the wrong way'.
"Yeah," Scorpius murmured.
Suddenly, a thought hit Rose. "Wait," she said, looking around at him. "Did you use this sweater? I thought you hated it!"
"I did hate it," Scorpius said, meeting Rose's gaze. "I... I just... it's quite pathetic, but if it proves just how much I actually love you, then maybe..."
"Yes?" Rose urged, her eyes tightening.
"I used to sleep with it," he said, suddenly looking embarrassed. "It... it smelled just like you. It reminded me of you. I... I felt like a child who had his blankie."
Rose stared at him, her eyes wide with surprise. She hadn't expected to hear that. In fact, in a way, the sweater had somehow become a symbolic thing. Scorpius had hated it, and now he didn't. It was just the same with Rose, in a way; she hadn't realized just how much she loved Scorpius, until he wasn't there anymore. She knew she loved him, and she couldn't really imagine life with anyone else but him. Even in her dreams, there was a man, the man of her dreams. She had always told herself the face was blurry, but now it all made sense; it was always Scorpius Malfoy.
And in a way, it had all been for the better. If she hadn't divorced Scorpius, she would never have found herself, found the strength to challenge herself. Rose had become independent, and done things she never thought she would've done.
"I..." Rose started, taking a deep breath. "I can't trust you. Not yet."
Scorpius stared at her, before he reached out towards Rose's hand. Rose pulled away, shaking her head. "I forgive you," she whispered, when Scorpius opened his mouth to speak. "But I'll never forget," she said, glancing at him. "I was a real mess, Scorp."
"I'm sorry," he said, his voice shaking with emotion. "I..."
"I believe in second chances, Scorp," Rose said suddenly, looking away. "I think everyone deserves a second chance."
This time, Rose let Scorpius take her hand, and he gave it a gentle squeeze. "Do you mean that?"
Rose looked at him, her eyes sincere. "Yes," she breathed, nodding. "I do. I love you, don't I?"
Scorpius let out a relieved sigh, before wrapping her in a tight hug. "I love you, Rose Weasley."
Rose let out a shaky laugh against his shoulder, and wrapped her arms slowly around him. "Don't screw this up, Malfoy..."
"I won't," he promised.
"You better not break my heart again," she whispered, shaking her head as she closed her eyes.
No one would ever place Scorpius Malfoy.
Because he was irreplacable.
A/N: This part was a liiiiiiittle bit longer, but MWEHH! I personally can't stand cheaters, even if I think everyone deserves a second chance. Cheating is just... not right. Anyway, I wanted to challenge myself and see how it would turn out to write something like this. I'd really appreciate it if I wouldn't get any "OMG NO YOU BITCH!!!! WHY WOULD ROSE DO THAT HUH!?" reviews, because I find no satisfaction in reading stuff like that :D I'm personally quite proud of the outcome in this fic ^_^

SMC Basketball: Saint Mary's travels to face winless Hornets
Alex West | Wednesday, January 21, 2009
Saint Mary's (8-7) looks to bounce back from its first MIAA loss of the year when it plays at Kalamazoo (0-13) today.
The Belles will look to use their height inside and speed in the transition game on offense against the Hornets, who rank last in the MIAA in scoring defense and give up more than 75 points per game.
Coach Jenn Henley said the Belles will also need to play well defensively.
"We need to do a better job on defending the drive and shutting down Kalamazoo's inside game," Henley said. "Our focus continues to be on defense, regardless of our opponent."
The Belles lost 77-72 to Albion last Wednesday, dropping their conference record to 6-1. Kalamazoo's latest lost came against Albion last Saturday by a score of 68-38.
Although the Hornet's still remain winless, Henley said she doesn't believe her team will overlook them.
"In this league, you can't overlook anyone. Records and standings never truly indicate the strength of a team," she said.
She also said the Hornets' defense could test the Belles.
"They play a lot of different defenses, so we need to be able to recognize what they are playing and execute our offense," Henley said.
Belles leading score Erin Newsom is coming off of an 18-point effort against Albion. She averages almost 15 points and more than nine rebounds a game this season to lead the Belles in both categories.

Report unlocks the power of the private sector; Breakthrough recommendations must now be put into action
WASHINGTON, DC The National Space Society hailed the Aldridge Commission report as a powerful plan to transform our nation's space exploration efforts. The report's recommendations open the path to vigorous space exploration with far-reaching benefits for the country.
"This report is fueled with a tank full of breakthroughs," said NSS Executive Director George Whitesides. "Combining an emphasis on affordability with the powerful effect of a fully engaged private sector, the commissioners have set out a plan that will transform NASA and lead the way to a spacefaring civilization."
NSS is particularly pleased that many policies it has long advocated found support with the Commission. Above all, NSS hails the commissions strong statement that a primary focus of the Vision should be the commercialization of space.
"Encouraging private industry is another way of saying encouraging private citizens," said Whitesides. "This report sets a course for a future in which space is as diverse as our world, with members of the public living and working in space."
The Commission's support of Centennial Challenge prizes, tax incentives, regulatory relief and property rights are the breakthrough ideas that will open the space frontier. These ideas have long been advocated by NSS as low-risk, low-cost strategies that unlock the potential of American private sector, saving taxpayer dollars and establishing sustainable growth in space.
"We look forward to working with NASA, Congress and the White House to ensure that these cost-saving breakthroughs are embedded in our nation's space efforts," concluded Whitesides. "The next step is action: defining specific goals and objectives, and getting down to work."
Finally, NSS congratulates the Commission on its focus on inclusion as it went about its work. Inviting comment from a wide range of parties, including direct response from the public in a series of regional hearings, the Commission has set an example of openness that should be embraced throughout the space community.
# # #
The National Space Society (NSS) is an independent, international, grassroots organization dedicated to the creation of a spacefaring civilization. NSS has more than 22,000 members and 50 chapters in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Australia, Germany, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. Founded in 1974, NSS is widely acknowledged as the preeminent citizens voice on space.
Individuals who wish to show their support for space can do so via www.nss.org/join or www.nss.org/donate.

How much do you weigh? Are you happy with it?
I'm 5'7", and weight about 170lbs. Before I got pregnant with my son in 2010, I never weighed more than 130. I hate my body with a passion, and think my fiance is crazy for thinking I'm sexy. I want to be 130-150, tops.
I'm 5'2" and 150 lbs. The most I've weighed is 160 and that's when I was 9 months pregnant, then a few years after my DS was born I gained it back. I want to get down to at least 130. My BF likes me the way I am, which makes me happy to a point...and that point ends when I look at myself in a mirror :-( I absolutely hate the way my stomach looks.
I hover in the 145-150 range (5'4"). I wouldn't mind if I lost 10 lbs. or so, but I'm content. I'm pretty fit, with a little tummy that says, "We grew two babies here!" :) DH loves my body and I don't mind it (at worst), so, like I said, content.
I hate how I look, but it is hard for me to move a lot.. ( I have a spine injury).. I have tried to lose weight but can't. I don't eat that bad and not that much. I don't know what to do.. If anyone has any suggestions in what I can do message me..
I walk as much as I can, do stomach crunches, squats, leg exercises
I'm 5 3" and I'm in the area 145-150, I only got to that after my 5 yr old, I have a little more belly than I need, apart from that I'm happy. I was around 110 for over 10 yrs before child, working on getting the belly down.
Believe it or not, alot of men like women with more meat on their bones compared to skinny girls. I prefer myself to be inbetween both, but could use to lose 20 pounds. I do hate my fat ass, but I find if i wear bigger clothes I don't feel as bad about my body when I wear my right size I won't tell how much i weigh because i never lost my baby's baby fat and I also have hypothroidism which made me gain over 30 pounds I can't get rid of. Does anybody know what are the best diets, such as jenny craig or weight watchers?
i would LOVE to weigh 170. i am 5'7 and about 330 i have tried everything but starving myself & can't seem 2 loose it. i have two kids a 2 1/2 year old & 5 month old
I have no idea what I weigh as I haven't stepped on a scale in YEARS! I judge by how my pants fit. If they are getting too tight then I cut back on the crap. I am fairly fit but could stand to do a few dozen sit ups/day. My tummy isn't as tight as it was 3 kids ago!

No one likes paying a toll to cross a river, but there really aren't any other options.
You must pay up… unless you are this driver in China. He was so determined to get out of paying the fee to cross the Yellow River that he drove straight onto the ice.
This act only saved him pennies.
Onlookers obviously watched in horror. Some said they could even hear the ice crack under the weight of the silver-colored car.
The driver, however, made it all the way across. It took ten minutes to get to the other side of the bank, and he revved his engine with satisfaction.

Hi guys
I've arrived in Sydney for a 3 month unplanned adventure, have been before so not totally lost but looking to see a bit more of the country this time. So I'm looking to do the east coast, perhaps by the greyhound. However unsure how best to plan. I want to go to Brisbane so don't know whether to start from there and miss out cairns ( apparently not much to see between cairns and Brisbane?). Also any ideas on the best bits to see along the coast? I've got Whitsunday, Agnes water, Fraser is, surfers paradise, Byron, port Macquarie.
I'm flexible on when I'm going so anyone lone travellers out there with similar plans feel free to contact me!

I really need some help from people in here who have done this before.
I had a back injury 5 years ago, I started taking Hydrocodone and eventually went from one a day to more than 10 a day.
I finally decided that its not worth it anymore to be addicted to this stuff.
In the last 20 days, I have been using the slow withdraw method. I went from 10 a day to down to 1 pill a day. But for some reason I just can't stop with the one a day. My body hurts, I have a constant headaches, my bones hurt. I just can't make that final step. I know it's going to be painful, but for how long? Has anyone else done it this way? How do I make that final step?

OXNARD, Calif. – Cornerback Orlando Scandrick suffered a nose contusion while breaking up a pass in Thursday's afternoon practice.
Scandrick suffered the injury while diving to deflect a sideline pass to Terrell Hudgins. Athletic trainer Jim Maurer held Scandrick's nose with a towel while escorting him off the field.
"The helmet came down on the ridge of his nose," Mauer said. "There was bruising and the bleeding was inside the nose."
The injury won't prevent Scandrick from playing Saturday against Houston, Mauer said.
"He should be good to go," Mauer said.
Rookie Akwasi Owusu Ansah worked with the first-team nickel package for the remainder of the workout.
In other injury news, receiver Kevin Ogletree returned to practice after missing two workouts over two days with a hamstring injury.
