Whether the setting is Raleigh or Washington, the tax reform debate will inevitably come down to one Big Question: Are you willing to trade current tax preferences for lower tax rates?
Most economists think the answer is obvious. Of course households and businesses should be willing to trade in special credits or deductions for a broader, flatter tax system, they say. There is strong empirical evidence for the proposition that such a system lowers compliance costs and increases economic growth. It also tends to promote fairness in the tax code � assuming that tax fairness is (correctly) defined as avoiding political favoritism or large differences in taxes paid as a percentage of income or assets.
To some taxpayers, however, revenue-neutral tax reform that offers to trade lower rates for fewer preferences may lack appeal. If you work in a sector that benefits from special treatment, such as high-end real estate or wind energy, those breaks may well be more valuable to you than lower rates or compliance costs. Also, if you suspect that the terms of today�s tax reform won�t stick � that politicians will use lower rates as a pretext for abolishing tax breaks, then raise the tax rates in the future � you may say no even to a deal that appears to benefit you in the short run.
These are among the reasons why tax reform is a bit like a TV meteorologist. That is, it looks great from afar, or on a low-resolution screen. Close up, in high definition, imperfections become evident.
Still, we watch. And as for tax reform, we can�t afford not to move forward. Our effective tax rates on corporate income and capital formation are among the highest in the world. They reduce the competitiveness of our economy and reward current consumption over long-term, productivity-enhancing investment.
The key to unlocking the tax-reform door is to recognize that it isn�t really all about marginal tax rates. The best-available tax system isn�t the one that tallies up everyone�s gross income and applies a tax rate to it. Yet some descriptions of �tax expenditures� assume exactly that. They list both the mortgage-interest deduction (which truly is a special-interest tax break that disproportionately benefits upper-income taxpayers and those who build their homes) and the deduction for deposits into IRAs and 401ks (which is a policy for making taxes neutral with respect to current vs. future consumption). Such a description is utter nonsense and unhelpful to policymakers.
You have to start with valid definitions. Income isn�t just transferring cash from one pocket to the other. It is best understood as a current monetary return on some prior investment � a return on financial or physical capital, in the case of dividends and capital gains, or a return on human capital, in the case of wages. If government taxes the resources taxpayers spend to accumulate and deploy that capital in the first place, such as deposits into investment accounts or the rearing and education of future workers, then it shouldn�t also tax the return on those investments. Otherwise, its tax code discourages long-term investment in favor of short-term consumption. The results are complexity, unfairness, and weaker economic growth.
So a properly structured tax system would retain tools such as generous personal exemptions (especially for children) and savings deductions. These tools shield capital formation from tax at the front end, since the returns on that capital are taxed later. Reformers shouldn�t try to persuade or compel taxpayers to give up these safe harbors in the tax code.
On the other hand, narrow tax preferences for housing debt, municipal bonds, eco-friendly projects, or non-wage benefits favor some forms of capital formation and maintenance over others. Any sensible tax reform ought to reduce or eliminate them, in exchange for lower rates.
In reality, most households and small businesses take standard deductions and forego complex tax filings. They do prefer simplicity to preferences, and form a large consistency for tax reform. They deserve to get what they want.

I asked your opinion on whether I should upgrade all my gems to Epic Gems in the post Should I save the cash, or blow the mobs away?
Well the poll results are in, and it looks like I am saving the cash for retirement, or WoLK, whichever comes 1st.
Or once again, the bar chart for ease of reading:
Now I would look into donating it to Morane, if Morane was on my server and was Alliance. However as that isn't the case, I have thrown some cash to a begger to buy a flying mount.

…is because it keeps getting longer.
Of course, his lessons didn't change on the day of the attacks, but once students started showing up who had completely forgotten about it — "18-year-olds who were about seven when 9/11 happened" — he knew he had to teach it. But there are only so many hours of instruction in the semester.
That meant he had to start making cuts in his lesson plans. Take Watergate. Once, he used to spend an entire lecture on the political scandal, but now, he covers it in 10 to 15 minutes. "The New Deal is another really good example," he says. "When I first started teaching, I think I had three lectures on it." Now he's down to two, and that's changed the way he teaches, too. "I try to do it differently so that I won't overwhelm people with lots and lots of facts. And then they'll be able to understand more history, hopefully, through only having to know a little less."

Star Wars: The Old Republic Hands On

Star Wars: The Old Republic Hands On
BioWare sets us loose to explore the galaxy on our own.
Doesn't the group thing get in the way of the conversations?
I'd be pretty miffed if I wanted to ask a character for more story content, only to have one of my colleagues hit the 'just shoot him' option.
Republic Fighting Separatists? God, can they not come up with some cool name for an independent league? Like the League of Independence or something?
If not for the monthly subscription I would be getting it day one.
This is after playing the beta too.
Can you explain why a monthly sub is a deal breaker? This may not be the case with yourself, but many cringe at the idea of paying a $15 sub, but are quick to drop 60 bucks monthly on a new release, or even 20 bucks on a sale on Steam.
Just FYI, in that particular situation you'd actually still get the light side points for the decision you made, despite being overruled by the winning vote. =)
Too many half ass good F2P MMO's have started to blur the vision in regards to pay to play titles.
Frankly I could care less about sub fees or not, if the games good, I'll pay, if the game sucks I won't even play it for free...and the games I won't play for free is getting to be a pretty long list.
'the tractor beam has been powered down' this is from star trek. Am sure the star wars one is 'mag field'
EDIT wrong.
I kind of want to this just for storyline purposes. I would of been sold if the game didn't seem so black and white for the evil and good options. Sounds like if I choose to be a sith I'm stuck being one and my choices should be all be dark sided related, and the same vice versa.
Still, I really do want to check this out. I can't help but worry about it's future though, I hope enough players get it.
Wrong; It's the whole plot device that gets the millennium falcon stuck on the death star in A New Hope.
Actually the group convo system is kind of fun. Though only Bioware would make a game in the Star Wars universe, with literally uncountable race options, and give you five choices, two of which are Human. Lame. Lame. Lame.
I like what Star Trek Online did. A bunch of canon races to choose from and then "alien" where you get to make your own.
You can't defect (simply because they need to actual release the game some time this century), but you can be a light side Sith. Or at least less of an arse hole one, with the idea being that if you're born within the Sith Empire and are force sensitive, you're either forced to join or else you're killed.
There's 8, and they're all humanoids because they're the ones that speak English. A Wookiee sounds like a fun idea now, not so much after 200 hours of listening to him whine through every conversation.
This is what I thought as soon as they announced that feature, but no one seemed to care. Bioware said something along the lines of 'yer if you want to choose light side and your friends choose dark side and win the roll that will a fun thing that can happen'
No it will be annoying and I won't play with them again. You shouldn't have to pvp over a conversation option.
But at least with leveling more classes you get another chance to see the story options.
If it relates to your class story no one else will choose an outcome for you, if its a Flashpoint or Operation (a raid) then you can replay it anyway.
Because you could get GW2 and not have to pay for a sub? XD
I see a lot of references to "Separatists" there. Are you really sure about that??
I'm not quite the SW fanboi I used to be in times gone by, but I'm pretty sure the Separatists were the ones that got caned during the creation of the Evil Empire.
I'm also pretty sure that there were only 2 Sith around during that time.
Not to immediately call doom or anything, but I'm not sure the consistency people have got their act together on this one.
<----- Is less hopeful than ever for TOR.
Storyline and character development - all well and good, but what point is there to it if all the characters will ultimately have experienced the same events and have developed the same backstory? Roleplaying happens because players have different play styles and experiences during their game, not because their characters were shoehorned into the exact same plot.
This is really what I am worried about, as the game might provide a "rpg" experience, it might just kill the immersion for actual multi-player role-playing.
While this does look like an amazing game, and I would gladly shell out 60 bucks for it, it is not worth paying a monthly subscription. Maybe in time it will be able to stand up to the massive amounts of different content available in wow, but it won't at first, not by a long shot.
I just, i don't know. 15 bucks is a lot to drop every month i want to even boot the game. WoW hasn't been worth that to me for a long while, and it has from what i can see right now, waaaaay more content to go through. I love rpg's but as an rpg Not an mmo.
A mention of GW2 on a different MMO article? Shocking. This never happens, which isn't surprising because of the lack of quality.
Companions that look at your choices? Bioware have been forgiven of all my issues with them for that alone and is the first thing that has made me interested
It's a reference to the specific situation on Ord Mantell, not the seperatist movement in the prequels. I can't go into story details probably, but there are seperatists on Ord Mantell and they are the primary antagonists on the prologue planet for the trooper and smuggler.
WoW has been out and recieving regular content update and polish for years. This game is launching.
It's not so much the cost, it's the value of the experience. Maybe I don't want to keep paying for the same experience. Maybe I want to shoot Covenant, or run over old ladies, or blow up buildings, or build a tower, or dig a hole to the center of the earth. TOR (or any one game) simply can't contain all experiences at once and maintain a unified, coherent theme. Not even Minecraft has everything.
Even if you don't count the Empire and Republic Classes separately, you have to look at the Advanced Classes as full Classes...because that's what they are. Each Advanced Class has three Skill Trees (like WoW's Talent Trees) and 2-3 roles that it can fill. You can Spec within your AC, but you can't just swap ACs at will. So sure, WoW has 10 Classes...and TOR has 8 (if you don't count the *almost* mirror Classes on the opposite Faction). It is NOT 4 vs 10.
As to Races - TOR has several playable Races, just like WoW does - and each has its own Racial abilities (although the exact abilities have not been revealed yet, they *have* been confirmed). The Racial abilities in TOR, however, won't affect combat - so you won't have any of the bias of having to play a certain race in order to Min/Max your Character when playing a specific Class.
From what I played, it's really KOTOR 3 with co-op and multiplayer options.
Story takes center stage, which is a good thing, and you can play all the way to max level without ever grouping up if you don't want to. Though you miss out on a lot of the side-content and rare items.
People expecting a wide variety of aliens to play as like in SWG are going to be disappointed. Twi'lek is about as different looking head as you're going to get, the rest look like humans with different colors and facial features, and there's only 4 body types: 12 year old boy, skinny 19 year old, body builder buff, and wide-as-a-tank fatass.
I enjoy my time, but it's obviously nowhere near the depth the hype makes it appear.
There's a "dice roll", highest number pics what animation plays, but whatever YOU pick will still apply to your character. If your buddy wins a roll and kills someone, but you didn't, you'll see his animation play out, but you still get your lightside points.
Ah, that's a rookie mistake by Bioware there. If they'd only shot the control panel fron inside the room and locked you out, The Escapist could never have gotten away with this delicious review!
Too bad they're forcing me to be Han Solo in regards to the smuggler. Guess what, I fucking hated Solo. What makes Bioware think then that I need to dress in a jacket, have a Wookie and fly around in a god damn Millennium Falcon?
I'm guessing you don't need to wear a jacket, They can probably wear light armour, but i don't actually know, one of the other guys who has played the Beta can probably tell you. Is it only a Wookie? I though there were a few choices of what you get as a companion? You always had a Millennium Falcon rip off in the Kotor Games...The Ebon Hawk...so this is no different :P
OT: Sounds awesome! I'll probably get it a few month after release, but still, Glad to see an MMO that sounds like it will be able to stand on it's own 2 feet without getting drunk and collapsing...
Bah! Just earlier this evening I read a leak which seemed to hint very very strongly that Bioware have royally fucked up how they were going to tie up the Exile/Revan's hanging plot-threads from KOTOR II.
The only thing that was tempting me to even think about playing TOR was to see how events from the KOTOR series tied up. According to the leaked info, they buggered that one up. Unless it turns out that the leak was way, way off base, I'm going to be very sceptical abotu this. I'm sure it's a perfectly playable MMO, but as a long-time KOTOR fan, I don't want to play a game that actively shits on the legacy of its forbears.
Personally, I had a lot of fun in the beta. There are some visual...issues I have with it (desktop/interface is too big, et al), but they're cosmetic issues.
Found a new favorite race to play as well. :D
Each class has 5 companions, the Wookiee is just one of many smuggler companions. He's not even the first one. The smuggler is directly inspired by Han Solo, and is one of many direct inspirations from the movies. You can play him how you want though, so if you want the heartless, shoot first Solo, you can.
I know the leak you are talking about, and there's a strong possibility that the character that the leak refers to is not actually that character. I would recommend reading the Revan novel when it comes out. Devs have said that while references are made to KOTOR 1 & 2 the story of SWTOR was not made to finish the KOTOR story lines.
OT: I've seen enough game play and story footage to know that this is exactly the type of game I want to play, and I'm not the only one either. All of my wow friends are moving over too, gonna be a blast :D
I was in one of the weekend long testing things for SWTOR...I'm not going to break the NDA but *secret wink wink*
I believe you just broke the NDA.
if I remember the trailer correctly, in this game your level is represented by how many light sabers you can use at the same time, I wanna be the first guy to have 12, I'll throw seven of them, and hack away with the other 5.
Well, this is already a day one buy for me, but im Australian so im out in the Red Zone and have to order a Copy via amazon since EA decided to to sell it down under :-/. I do have one porblem that i would like to ask anyone who has been on the Beta, what races are there? i havent found a race list anywhere for this game so far. ive seen alot of people complaining that they dont want a game thats going to have over half the population on each side as force users, that honestly doesnt bother me as long as there not all HUMAN force users.
Personly was hoping to play a Barabel Jedi or maybe a Chiss.
WHAT?! Are you sure you're remembering right? There's no way Bioware would put something so ridiculous into the game.

1999 Chateau Suduiraut 1er Cru Sauternes (375ml)
Subscribe to stock alerts
Please enter your email address to receive stock alerts for this product:
- Closure: Cork
The botrytis affected wines of Sauternes and Barsac are amongst the world's greatest examples of sweet wine. The grape varieties used are Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle, and in many cases it is all three grape varieties that are use to create these great wines.
This shipment is entirely in half bottles, with several years bottle age already. The wines are remarkably versatile – being suitable for dishes such as pan fried trout, duck, fois gras, blue cheese and of course deserts such as crème caramel, fruit pies, fruit stews and fruit salads. Soft fruit such as ripe peaches, pear, apricots, nectarines and berries. Sauternes does not go with chocolate, so whatever you do not attempt that match at your next dinner party!
The 1999 Chateau Suduiraut is a 1er Cru Sauternes. Grown on a 70ha vineyard the wine is made from 80% Semillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc.

BAYHAWKS TAKE ON ROCHESTER RATTLERS SATURDAY AT 7:00pm
The Washington Bayhawks will take on their Eastern Conference rival Rochester Rattlers at George Mason Stadium, Saturday, June 7, at 7:00pm
The Washington Bayhawks will take on their Eastern Conference rival Rochester Rattlers at George Mason Stadium, Saturday, June 7, at 7:00pm. The Bayhawks enter the game ranked second in the Eastern Conference, to the Rochester Rattlers, with a record of 2-1 after dropping their opener to the Philadelphia Barrage and beating the Denver Outlaws and Chicago Machine the last two weeks. The Bayhawks look to overtake the Rattlers for the top spot in the East with a win this Saturday. The Bayhawks split last years two games against the Rattlers and lead the all-time series 14-6.
The Bayhawks are led by All-Star midfielder Kyle Dixon who's 14 points through three games has him on pace to break his career best 41 points last year. Dixon is coming off of a seven point game against Chicago last weekend. The Bayhawks have used their strong attack led by Conor Gill, who has scored 13 points in the first three games, along with Buggs Combs and Matt Ward. The Bayhawks have used balanced scoring from their midfield to compliment their attack with Dixon, Brendan Healy, Derek Cherney, Bill McGlone, and Billy Glading each recording points in each of the first three games. The Bayhawks will use a good offensive showing and strong defense, led by Chris Garrity in goal, to defeat the Rattlers.
The Rochester Rattlers are currently ranked first in the Eastern Conference with an undefeated record of 3-0. The Rattlers are led by last years MLL MVP John Grant Jr. who has put up 22 points in the so far this season. The Rattlers have a used a high powered offense that includes Casey Powell, Joe Walters, and Jeff Zywicki. The Rattlers have outscored opponents 17-1 in the fourth quarter, including a 5-0 fourth against the Philadelphia Barrage last week.
The Game will be broadcast live on Comcast Sportsnet on Saturday, June 7, at 7:00pm, along with encore showings Sunday, June 8, at 1:00pm and Sunday, June 8, at 7:30pm.

K. Frew took 26 faceoffs for Washington in the game (winning 11). S. Doughtery took the last 2 faceoffs for Washington and won zero of them.
The Bayhawks went 11 of 28 total on draws for this game. Maybe Brekan can actually help in that department?

Bayhawks gain Eastern Conference Lead in victory
Fairfax, VA- The Washington Bayhawks (3-1) returned home to George Mason University to take on eastern conference rivals, the Rochester Rattlers (3-1). Going into tonight's game, the Bayhawks will face the only undefeated team remaining in the Major League Lacrosse. Kyle Dixon was named the Bud Light MVP player of the game with his 6 point performance.
Coming out strong the Bayhawks Matt Ward found the net giving the Bayhawks a quick 1-0 lead for Washington. The Rattlers quickly answered back by Jeff Zywicki and John Grant netting back to back goals giving Rochester a 2-1 advantage. Kyle Dixon was nearly impossible to stop tonight as he totaled 6 points (5 goals and 1 assist). Dixon led the Bayhawks in the first quarter netting 2 of his 5 goals from the outside to bring the game to a 4-3 lead over the Rattlers. The Bayhawks and the Rattlers would end the first quarter tied at 4 apiece.
Dixon continued to lead the attack into the second quarter by scoring his third straight goal early on to give the Bayhawks a 5-4 lead. Rattlers Defensemen, Brodie Merrill and Pat Dutton, quickly shutdown the Bayhawks momentum by evaporating a two goal lead tying the game at 6 apiece. Chris Garrity continues to show off his ability to handle the one on one situation by keeping the game close with 16 saves at the half.
Entering the third quarter Billy Glading came out strong for the Bayhawks with an early goal to break to put the Bayhawks up by one. Casey Powell tallied a two goals and an assist to record his 201st career point which marks not only a team but a league record that was previously held by Bayhawks Mark Millon. Late in the third quarter severe weather had moved in the local Northern Virginia area causing the game to come to a halt with 2:39 left in the third quarter. The teams and fans waited patiently off the field but MLL officials decided to call the game due to inclement weather, officially giving the Bayhawks the win, 14-11.
The Washington Bayhawks will return home next Saturday June 14th to take on the Long Island Lizards (2-2). The Bayhawks had another great turn out at George Mason stadium and would like to give thanks to all their fans and sponsors for their support in attendance and look forward to seeing them next game.

Hello again. I have an array of friends names and I want to print it in reverse. I know this question seems a bit lazy, but i really have tried casting the string as ints and even using lazy = String,valueOf(i) etc but No luck so far. Thanks
//FriendList.java public class FriendList { public static void main (String[] args) { String [] friends = {"danny", "vic", "Laura", "Mike", "Jenny", "Asrath"}; System.out.println ("My first 6 best friends are: "); for (String lazy : friends) System.out.println (lazy + " "); System.out.println ("Now them in reverse"); //Problems begin here for (String lazy = friends.length; lazy >= 0; lazy--) System.out.println (lazy + " "); } }

Thanks to the Great Recession, we're all pretty skittish about declaring good times ahead. The latest unemployment figures from New Hampshire only fuel this negativism, indicating slippage in what has been a regional economic sweet spot.
Numbers are handy but not everything when it comes to reality. So don't turn to the dark side just yet.
If you talk to people who work with companies and employees, the local economy just keeps looking better -- brief pullback aside.
Delise West is perfectly situated to tell us, that is if you can catch her between consulting jobs for clients.
The founder of Human Resource Partners started the business out of her home almost exactly 10 years ago. It was the good times, the boom times.
Since then, she has ridden the economy along with her customers into the doldrums and back out again, growing to a handful of employees and two offices. She's just hired another person, in fact.
West works out of the firm's Dover office at the 2 Washington St. mill downtown. There also is a Human Resource Partners office now in Concord.
West's company offers "customized HR solutions." This means they'll do all the things related to employees that companies can't do or don't want to do. They even will tell you what you don't know you should be doing, such as staying ahead of government compliance watchdogs.
This means everything from handling all HR functions for a small company, to contracting to create a new pay scale for a firm.
The worst of the decade for West's customers was spring 2009. That was when 30 to 40 percent of her clients were asking Human Resource Partners to help them downsize the workforce.
Today, the firm has no requests booked to tell people they are no longer needed. None.
Instead, one of the busiest areas for the firm has been compensation. As in finding updated ways to reward workers so they don't leave.
It's been like this for six months or more. And it's a far cry from the dark days of 2009.
What's happening is companies are seeing good employees leaving for greener pastures as the job market has opened up. They want to know how to massage their compensation so they can keep them and even attract more workers
It's not just about just money, said West.
Compensation these days is a complex area that includes a lot more than what's left after increased taxes.
The mantra is being "fairly" compensated in a way that also makes employees feel they are part of the firm's success.
This can include a base salary plus other sums tied to company performance. It also means ensuring workers stay excited about what they are doing, understanding how they can advance in the future and feeling appreciated.
A lot has to do with communication, said West. The days of top down, being-left-in-the-dark management just don't cut it today if you want to maintain a strong workforce.
Another busy area of work for HR today is succession planning for manufacturers.
West said companies that make things are struggling to attract and maintain younger workers as older skilled employees start to eye retirement. Manufacturers that need hands-on workers to build things are finding it hard to attract young folks who'll learn the process and stick around.
Building high-tech widgets every day, even using specialized machinery, apparently does not appeal to the young. The need to make it interesting for them is why West is so busy.
It is a dilemma that again points to renewed economic activity. These all are good problems to have and reason to expect better days ahead.
If you have any doubts about this, ask an HR professional on the front lines.

If you look closely at the 4th picture in this sequence you can see something that resembles a baby bottle nipple? Baby Deaner is a BOY!!!!!! I could not be more thrilled. I really didn't think that we would be able to find out today because I am only 14 weeks and 1 day today. However the doctor seemed pretty confident that it was a boy and it didn't take her long to find the evidence. Take a look at the rest of those pictures! Have you ever seen a baby so cute in your whole life!! I think the first one looks like he is stretching out his neck! I can't believe how much bigger he has gotten! The news was very exciting! I told the doctor about all our upcoming traveling and she is completely fine with me traveling to the States at the end of April/beginning of May. She is a little more skeptacle about us going to Greece at the end of May. I am really stressed out about that. Especially since our tickets are bought and hotel booked! She didn't think there would be anything wrong but she said that if I needed medical attention for any reason, I would not want to be in Greece. Apparently Greek hospitals don't have the best reputations? Anyways, I am going to hope that the trip works out and that I am worrying for nothing.
I have to work tomorrow and I hoping that it goes well. I am a bit nervous about it since I am actually the kindergarten teacher tomorrow and not just the aide! However there are THREE aides in the room so surely things won't be that bad? God help me. I'm off to bed!

Schloss Johannisberg
Most people would be really excited about having dinner in a place like this on any given night. Deaner and I are eating here tonight and I have to admit that I am less than thrilled about it. Castle Johannisberg is famous for it's wines and this office event is first and foremost a wine tasting. UGH. Why must I be put through the torture of watching everyone else sipping tasty wine while I can't? Awful if you ask me. I am hoping that it still turns out to be fun and that the food is good but I am skeptacle! Typically I would have tried to bail out but there is an Engineering conference this week and there are a lot of people in town and Deaner felt like we had to make an appearance. I'm sure it had nothing to do with the wine!
Tomorrow is the day I have been waiting for for the past 4 weeks! I get to go to the doctor in the morning! Yea!! I will be 14 weeks and 1 day. I am holding on to a slim hope that their might be a chance the doctor will be able to tell the sex tomorrow. I know it is early but just maybe I will be put out of my anxiety ridden state and we will be able to find out. If not, it will just have to be at the next appointment! Which I am hoping the doctor will let me come back a bit earlier than 4 weeks if we can't find out tomorrow. I'm sure my sleep will not be great tonight! I'll definitely be posting new pictures of the baby tomorrow so make sure to check back! Happy Hump Day!

Ok, I just have to mention this before I frantically start tidying up the house before my dinner guest arrives. When Deaner and I went to the thrift store on Saturday I happened to eye this little gem up on the shelf. For those of you not up on your bottled water skillz, this is a bottle of Voss water. Empty, I might add. Now, I don't know about y'all but I don't think I would ever purchase an empty used bottle of water. For $3!!!! I doubt that it cost that much WITH the mineral water in it! I am going to just have to chaulk this one up to someone accepting it without knowing what it really was. Otherwise I am going to start saving my Evian water bottles and selling them to the thrift store. I also feel like telling the hotel restuarant owner that someone is stealing his big beer mugs and selling them to the thrift store as well. I mean, I know they belong to the restaurant as I ate there for 5 months straight! Lesson learned, you can sell ANYTHING to the Wiesbaden Spouses Club Thrift Store.
Now I am off to finish up dinner and straighten some things up!

Just Forget It
I just wrote a big ole long post about my day today and our weekend and for some reason it erased. I cannot be bothered to reproduce it because if I do, I might pull out my hair. The gist of it was this. My husband likes to make a huge mess on the weekends. I think he does it just so I will have something to do on Mondays. If it gets anymore out of control, I am going to have to start laying some ground rules. I cleaned the whole house today. All the sheets in both bedrooms are clean and the whole house is vacuumed. I said this before with a lot more detail and several funny antics. However, I can't be forced to reproduce it now! My feet hurt from standing on these marble floors all day long.
I told y'all about our weekend but really it wasn't so exciting that I want to write about it again! The highlight of the weekend was the fact that Deaner let me purchase a deep fryer on Saturday afternoon so that I can make chicken fingers once in a blue moon. I made some Sunday night and they were fantastic. Here is a picture of our fry up!I am sure that it will be retired for awhile right after we make chicken fingers for Steph and Jon this weekend! :) Have to enjoy it a bit more before Deaner forbides it's use around the house! Plus, the clean up is not that practical!
Anyways, I will try and be more on my game tomorrow and perhaps Blogger will cooperate with me a bit better. We have a friend coming for dinner tomorrow whose husband is in Africa for 10 days. Yikes. At least when Deaner travels it is only to England! Wednesday we have a work dinner with Deaner's office. I wouldn't mind so much except that it is a wine tasting in a Castle near our house. Not being able to drink is bad enough but when the whole event is centered around drinking wine, it is becomes a bit annoying. Thursday I have a doctor's appointment which I CANNOT wait for!! I love going to the doctor. And Friday I am subbing for Kindergarten. Hopefully it will be a fast week! Hope everyone is having a great day!

Fast Arriving Friday!
When you pretend to be a day behind all week long, Friday arrives a day early!! If only we could do this every single week!! So, now it is Friday and I am looking forward to spending a nice relaxing week with my husband. We have no big special plans and I have no problem keeping it that way. I think that tonight we are going to go out to dinner and then come home and catch up on some TV shows. I have no idea what we will do on Saturday and Sunday and frankly, I don't really care! The weather is supposed to be crappy, which is par for the course, and I don't mind chilling out.
It just dawned on me yesterday that I never finished post pictures from Prague! Only a week late now! Here are a few from our day of sightseeing on Saturday. We were really lucky with the sunny weather but don't be fooled, it was still FRIGID! When we left our hotel in the morning to set off on our adventures I realized this "structure" that I had clearly missed in the dark the night before.This is one unlucky dude! First we walked back to the Old Town square to check it out during the day. It was just at beautiful in the sunshine! In the picture below, the Astronomical Clock is apart of the tower to the left.Close up of Deaner in front of the Astronomical Clock. You can tell by his attire what the temperatures were like!Deaner really wanted to climb to the top of the Astronomical Clock tower and against my will, I agreed to do it. I could just imagine myself huffing and puffing up the stairs to the top and I was not looking forward to it. Luckily for me, there was an ELEVATOR!! And I STILL got the credit for agreeing to walk up the steps because I didn't know about elevator until after I agreed to go up the steps! From the top of the tower we had some awesome views of the entire city.The views were so cool. Afterwards we walked to the tram stop to ride up the hill to the Prague Castle, which you keep seeing in the background of all these pictures. It was a funny experience since we couldn't figure out how to pay once we got on the tram! Thank goodness the ride was short and we were able to hop off without getting arrested! The castle was beautiful up close and we had a beautiful walk back down the hill afterwards.After walking around the Castle and Church grounds we started the walk back down the hill. Which perhaps had the prettiest views of all.We had a few more adventures during the day including riding a funicular up a hill and seeing a "house of mirrors". I felt a little mislead by this "house" of mirrors since it was really only one room and it took about 5 seconds to walk through it. Deaner looked at me and admitted that he might have made a mistake by making us pay the admission. But it was pretty funny. We had another delicious dinner that night and Sunday after a good breakfast we headed back to Germany! Thankfully we weren't accosted by any car jackers on the way home and the trip home was easy. Sorry for so many pictures but once I get started I just have to post all of them! I hope that everyone has a great weekend!!

Bathing Suit Review
I know I promised I would write about this bathing suit when I received it.I have to admit that I was getting a little nervous about it while I was waiting for it to arrive. I kept thinking about how skinny those mannequin legs were! When Deaner called to let me know that it was delivered I was anxious to try it on. I mean, if it wasn't going to fit then it just needed to be returned and banished from my memory. Surprisingly, it fit just fine and I like it a lot. Turns out your legs don't actually HAVE to be that skinny! There is plenty of room to "grow" in all the right places. It's a winner and I am keeping it. Here is the best part. For some reason Old Navy felt the need to send me not one, but TWO bathing suits. Don't worry, I already double checked my bank account and they only charged me once! The order numbers and batch numbers are exactly the same on each invoice so it is clear they just double sent it. Now for the real question. Do I send one back and try and get another color? I mean, while I am really happy to have TWO new bathing suits, I don't really need two pink ones. I am undecided. Thoughts?
Today I actually had a pretty long day. I went with my friend Barbara to my first spouses club luncheon. It was a lot of fun. There were tons of raffle prizes, a silent auction and a live auction. Who knew? I don't think it will be my last time! We ran a few errands afterwards and it was almost 4pm by the time I got home! Deaner came home from the gym and made us some amazing Philly Cheese Steaks for dinner. Yum! Now we are vegging on the couch watching American Idol. Unfortunately now all the bad people are getting kicked out so I am losing interest. I really only like the tryouts. Going to have to find a new show now! Tomorrow Steph and I are having lunch at our FAVORITE place, Vapiano! I am really looking forward to some fresh mushroom pasta! YUM! Does it seem to anyone else that everything revolves around my eating these days? I might have to do something about that. I would say Happy Wednesday to everyone but I am pretending it is still Tuesday so that Friday gets here faster! So, Happy Tuesday!

Prague, Part I.
What a fun weekend we had this past weekend in Prague. Deaner and I have a really hard time finding cities where neither of us have ever visited and while this was no exception, it was a new city for me! We set out for Prague on Saturday morning after Deaner got in late on Friday night from England. His delayed flight set us back a little bit in the morning but we were on our way by 10am. Surprisingly it was a pretty easy drive to Prague. We did encounter a shady situation right after crossing over into the Czech Republic. Shortly after driving over the border a black BMW drove up next to us and 4 adult men were motioning at us to pull the car over to the side of the road. At first I thought they were telling us that something was wrong with our car but none of our dash lights were on and nothing felt wierd. They cut us off in front of us and two of the men were waving their arms outside of the car for us to pull over. Deaner slowed down on the shoulder and the car started to speed up behind us like they were going to rear end us. Luckily my husband came to his senses and muttered something about reading about something like this happening and he took off again. The BMW immediately hung back and did not attempt to follow us again. We pulled off the highway at the next crowded gas station and of course nothing was wrong with the car. I have a feeling that if Deaner had been retarded enough to stop, we might not be the current owners of a Crysler Crossfire!! The only other anxiety I experienced on the way to Prague was that I was in a panic thinking that I forgot my hairbrush. For those who know me, you know it is hard for me to leave the house without my hairbrush. I don't know why I just don't like to have unbrushed hair. If I had forgetten my brush, there would have been no way to function without one, and finding another one was really the last thing I wanted to deal with. Thankfully, when we arrived at our hotel, it was in my bag. I'm still grateful!!
I was pleasantly surprised at how nice our hotel was. It was gorgeous, our room was enormous and it was in the perfect location. Here are a few pictures of our hotel room. I take them because we like to be able to post reviews on hotels we like on Trip Advisor.We had heard a few horror stories about hotels in Prague and so we were thrilled with ours. Also, there was free parking in a secured courtyard which made it completely worth it. We arrived around 4pm or so we didn't have a ton of daylight to burn once we arrived. We headed towards the old town and walked across the Charles Bridge.We found a fantastic little Italian restaurant that was in a back alley and had awesome food. I couldn't believe how cheap it was compared to going out to dinner in Germany. We are constantly ripped off in Germany by the quality of food in restaurants and with how expensive it is. We called it an early night because it had been a long day and we knew that Sunday was going to be a day of sightseeing. I am going to leave the rest of the pictures to post tomorrow because frankly, I am sick of uploading them now! I have a big pot of homemade spaghetti sauce on the stove right now and it smells delicious. I can't wait for Deaner to get back from work so that we can eat dinner! Is it sad that I am excited about this and it is only 3:50pm in the afternoon? More pictures tomorrow!

White Cheese Dip Recipe
I just realized that I have been meaning to post this recipe for awhile now and I keep forgetting. Since I have out my recipe book right now I will go ahead and post it. I asked my favorite mexican restaurant in Atlanta, Taxco, how they make their white cheese dip. Since I can pretty much scarf down a bowl of it myself I figured it would be a good idea to learn how to make it here. Here is the recipe. YUM!
White Cheese Dip
2 cups finely grated Land O Lakes White American Cheese (You can find this in the deli section of the grocery store. I normally have them cut me approximately a 1 pound block)
4 oz jalapenos drained and finely chopped
1/2 cup half and half (do NOT use fat free)
2 tablespoons very finely minced onion
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Put all ingredients into the slow cooker/crock pot on low/medium. Cheese will melt to right consistancy in about 20-25 minutes. If you turn the slow cooker up, be aware of the sides will burn. Serve hot. YUM!!!

Finally Friday
I felt like Friday was never going to come this week! And now I feel like 9:20pm tonight is never going to get here. Deaner didn't even have to work today and he couldn't get an earlier flight than that! Another dinner alone! UGH. We are going to leave for Prague in the morning and come back on Monday afternoon. I am hoping that we won't freeze to death but from what I have seen, the highs are in the 20's and snow is in the forecast! Just can't seem to get away from it!
I have nothing else to report today. Monday I will have lots of good pictures to post and hopefully some good stories to tell!

Daily Wrap Up
Since Deaner has been out of town I have taken to getting in bed with my laptop at night. This would not go over so well if he was home because he already feels like my laptop and I have too close of a bond. He may or may not be right on target! Just so I don't forget, someone asked me yesterday where the maternity bathing suit was from. I ordered it from Old Navy and it was CHEAP! I think like $35. Try buying a real bathing suit for that amount! I'll post about it when I get it but there will be no pictures!
Today Steph and I ventured out just to see what kind of stuff Ikea had for babies. Answer? Crap. There was not one thing in the entire store that I would have purchased for a baby. Before anyone goes on a rant about how great Ikea is, keep in mind, this is Ikea Deutschland! There was nothing even remotely helpful. Afterwards we crossed the parking lot to Babies R Us, only to be disappointed again. I suppose that everything I buy will be ordered online from the United States. Grrrrrreat! At least I know ahead of time.
After our fruitless shopping venture we headed back to Steph's apartment and hung out most of the afternoon. Steph cooked an awesome dinner and it was nice to get to hang out with friends as opposed to being alone! Thanks for dinner Steph! Tomorrow I am having lunch with another friend and if I am really ambitious, I might go check the mail! Ha! Of course the gas light in my car is about to turn on so that may be the first order of business tomorrow. After tonight only one more night until Deaner gets back! I can't wait. Hope everyone is having a great day!

Day #2 Alone
Happy Tuesday everyone! I am a little bit late in posting today and I am not sure I even have a good excuse! I have been staying up super late with Deaner out of town and sleeping in every morning. I'm not going to lie, I have been sleeping a lot better doing it that way and I only have to get up ONCE a night to pee! This is a big improvement over 3 times when I go to bed around 10 or so!
Today was day #2 alone and it was fairly productive. While doing laundry today (I know it seems like we produce a lot of dirty clothes in our household, doesn't it?) I decided it was high time to clean out our laundry room. We are really lucky to have a huge laundry room but the problem is that we tend to dump the junk in there and unfortunately it is in a location where everyone who comes to our house can see it. It certainly isn't hidden. So it was tidy up day. I took lots of junk down to the garbage cans and did some organization. It looks a million times better! The next time I see a cardboard beer case thrown in there I am going to have a fit! :)
Deaner and I also booked our hotel in Santorini!! We have been reading reviews on hotels for the past 5 days and finally picked one. It is hard to pick a hotel because it seems like for every 5 good reviews a hotel gets, someone will write a terrible one that will make you doubt your decision. We use Trip Advisor A LOT living in Europe and it seems to be the most helpful. We finally found a hotel today that had 79 raving reviews and 0 negative ones. SOLD. We booked it and are really excited about it. Here are a few shots of the views and of the hotel grounds. I am getting excited just typing this!
Can we say AMAZING? I also ordered this today since I am assuming NONE of my current bathing suits are going to be fitting me at 7 months pregnant!I just hope it is as cute in person. Have no fear, I am certain my legs are as skinny as those legs on the mannequin! Anyways, if anyone has any tips on Athens or Santorini feel free to leave them on here! We will have a full day and a quarter in Athens and we will be in full tourist mode before relaxation kicks in Santorini.
That is all for the day. I enjoyed a wonderful dinner tonight with a friend of mine whose husband is in Armenia this week. It was fun to catch up and have some girl talk. It is the same couple we are going with to Garmish next month to ski with. Except I won't be skiing for obvious reasons! Boo! Hope everyone is having a good day! And seriously, why doesn't my spell check work anymore on blogger?? Any ideas?

Weekend Recap
Well there really isn't a whole lot to recap but it sounded like a nice title! Since I worked on Friday I was pretty tired by the time Deaner got home from work. We knew we were going to have a low key weekend and decided to head back to our old stomping grounds for dinner on Friday night. That is right, we VOLUNTARILY went back to the hotel where we lived for five months and had dinner at Little Italy. I'm not going to lie, we always liked the food, it was just the amount of time that we spent there when we were too lazy to walk out to dinner each night! I never thought I would say this but it was actually sort of a fun summer living in that hotel and venturing out on foot each night to find a place to enjoy dinner. It at least got us familiar with our new city. I am counting down the days until Day Light Savings time kicks in again and it is light here until 10:30pm and the sun is up at 4:30pm. I know it is going to be a hot summer, being grossly fat and all, but I am in desperate need of the sun. Anyways, I digress.
When Deaner and I got in the car to go to dinner on Friday night he broke the news to me that he didn't think that he was going to be able to travel home with me to Atlanta at the end of April. I sort of knew that this could happen but I was just waiting to find out for sure. I was hoping that I could go home for a week and a half and the he would then join me for another week. No such luck. When I asked him why he was so sure at this point he handed me a piece of paper with a flight itinerary on it. I didn't even really look at it closely before expressing my opinion on the fact that he had to go to England AGAIN. He sort of laughed and told me to LOOK at the ticket. Imagine my surprise when I realized that it was TWO plane tickets leaving from Frankfurt and taking us BOTH to GREECE!!! This is something that I was not expecting at all! Deaner explained that he thought we should take a big trip together before the baby gets here and we have both been wanting to go to Greece. We are spending two nights in Athens and then flying to Santorini for 5 nights. I could not be more excited (ok, well maybe I would be a little more excited if I knew I was going to be skinny in a bathing suit instead of super fat but I totally don't care)!! Since he decided to book us this trip he didn't think he should come to Atlanta with me just because it would be a lot of time away from the office. SO, I am heading home alone April 29th thru May 11th and then when I return, we will be leaving for Greece May 28th and staying until June 4th. It is going to be a GREAT Spring/Summer! I can't wait to be enjoying the views above this summer!!
Saturday was less eventful. In fact, I am trying to even remember what we did on Saturday. It sure wasn't much! We made homemade pizzas for dinner and watched TV. FUN! Sunday was a sad day because Deaner had to pack for England. I drove him to the airport at 3:00pm and he was on his way. Of course, it was sad. I wouldn't do well having a husband who travelled all the time when I couldn't go along! I hit up the commissary for the week on the way home and ate spaghetti for one last night. I actually stayed up and watched the first quarter of the Super Bowl but fell asleep shortly after that. Today has not been very eventful either! I have a big pot of soup simmering on the stove right now and I can't wait to eat it for dinner!! Is 5:35pm too early to eat!? I have also found a new drink that I love. People who know me know how much I hate to drink water. Gross. Don't ask me why, just don't like it. Yesterday I recieved a tip from Steph and ran with it. I put 2 crystal lite packets into a 1.5 liter bottle of sparkling water. YUM! The best way to drink water ever!
Tomorrow I am having dinner with a friend, Wednesday dinner with Steph and Jon and Thurday hanging out with another friend. I am surprised my week filled up like that but perhaps it will make it go by quickly! Deaner returns Friday night and we are leaving Saturday for Prague until Monday. I have never been to Prague so I am really excited. For now I think that I am going to go ahead and eat my dinner. I am single this week after all!! I can eat when I want!! Happy Monday!

It's Friday, and I am still alive!
I made it thru the week of subbing twice. Some may laugh at me for only working two days this week and thinking that it is an accomplishment but I am proud. And exhausted. And sick as a dog. Don't ask me how I am sick AGAIN after the debacle over Christmas, but I am. I have another cold that is making me feel like death. I can't breath, my nose is raw and I have no energy. I am hoping that this one doesn't last a week like the last one did. I don't know if it is my immune system being down because I am pregnant OR the fact that I have been around kids this week. They do carry the bubonic plague after all!
We have nothing exciting on our plates this weekend. We are going out to eat tonight and have no plans tomorrow. Deaner leaves on Sunday for England for a week. It should be a low key weekend and considering how I feel, that is a good thing. I hope I can tough it out because this no medication thing is really killing me!

I am happy to announce that I survived my day of subbing yesterday. However I was so completely exhausted that there was no way in the world that I was going to be able to blog about it yesterday. I arrived at the school at 7:30am on Wednesday and I met with the Special Ed director to be "briefed" on my TWO (not ONE as I was originally told) Special Ed kids. The director told me that he wasn't going to lie to me and tell me that they were easy kids to tell with. Grrrrrreat! I was freaking out. Long story short, it ended up being a pretty good day. The two kids I was incharge of were pretty much fine. The little girl was really sweet and I liked her a lot. The little boy was a little more high maintenance. He actually got mad at me in the lunch line because he dropped his fork on the floor and I told him he had to get a new one. This resulted in him hitting me but luckily it was right as his normal aide arrived and she was able to deal with him. As it turns out I was in the same class for the rest of the day just in a different role. It was not bad and I somewhat enjoyed my day. Minus the fact that I could barely keep my eyes open when I got home. I mean I felt sick I was so tired.
Tomorrow I have fourth graders and I am hoping that they are a little lower maintanence than the kindergarteners. And I am also hoping that the teacher leaves a very detailed outline of what needs to be done. Including lots of movies! My friend has a son that is in the class so I plan on using him as my information source! I already told Deaner that I probably won't be up for much tomorrow night! Too bad it is Friday!
Deaner has to leave on Sunday for England. Bummer! He is going to be gone all week long and I will be home alone! Boo!! I am going to try and work as much as I can and I have some dinner plans but I am thinking that it is going to be a long boring week without him. I couldn't tag along on this trip because he has to go to like 4 different places and honestly, I didn't feel like being in the car that much. If I don't end up working very much, it is going to be a long week. The very least I could do it make some money!
It is worth noting that today the temperature in my car said that it was 40 degrees outside. I don't remember the last time I saw the temperature even in the 30's! Maybe we are turning the bend, but something tells me not to count my chickens before they hatch. Today I met Deaner for lunch, ran to the commissary for a few things that I keep forgetting that we needed (including toilet paper and kleenex!) and then came home and changed the sheets in our room and cleaned up a bit. I have the windows upstairs open since it is so "warm" outside! Hopefully it will air out our house a little bit. Deaner had the sniffles a few days ago and now I am sneezing and coughing up a storm. I am afraid that I have another cold and I am not pleased about it. Anyways, I am off to try and be a little more productive before Deaner gets home from work. We will how that goes! Wish me luck tomorrow! PS--I know I have totally been slacking on the pictures lately but I haven't had a chance to even use my Christmas present yet. Deaner came home last night and told me that we are going to Prague next weekend for Valentine's Day so I should have a chance then! I can't wait!

Lord Help Me!
I truly had nothing to write about today until a couple of hours ago. I had absolutely nothing to do today and was dreading the boredom. I cleaned the house a little, played on the computer a little and even put away all the laundry (there was A LOT of it). I have been sort of disappointed that the school hasn't been calling me more to substitute but since I get so nervous to sub anyways, it has been a double edged sword! As I was arriving home from a short walk this afternoon the school called. They asked me to sub tomorrow and of course I said yes. Then she told me that the first half of the day would be for the one on one aide for a special education child. Oh great! What have I gotten myself into now? I obviously have nothing against kids with special needs but I hardly know how to sub anyways. Nor do I know where anything is! I was fairly impressed to hear that all kids with special needs actually get a one on one aide for the entire school year. I just hope I can live up to my duties tomorrow! I keep telling myself that it is only for 3.5 hours so how awful can it be? Anyone with any ENCOURAGING words are welcome to leave them for me! To say that I am nervous is an understatement!
The second part of my day will be spent as the kindergarten aide. I am not as worried about this considering that I have done it before. I just have to get through the day! And then I am subbing for 4th grade on Friday. I'm sure I will be nervous again but I've got to get over it! I'm just trying to think about the money. Surely I will survive, right?

Mundane Monday
Happy Monday everyone! I hope that everyone had a good weekend! Ours was pretty fun. Friday night we found a new restaurant in the next town over and it was good. I didn't love my entree but I thought our appetizer was good and I'll definitely try it again and get something else for dinner. Saturday we did a bit of shopping and then had dinner with some friends on Saturday night. Sunday the sun actually came out in Germany. It was a monumental event. Unfortunately when we were at lunch on Sunday afternoon I started seeing halos and bright lights and was having blurred peripheral vision. This happened to me about a year ago and I was afraid that I was getting a migraine. Afterall, those are all the signs that a mirgraine is coming on. It is so scary! I came home and laid down in our bedroom with the blinds down for the rest of the afternoon. Booooooooring. The only day of the winter that the sun was out! At least I managed to keep the actual migraine from ever becoming full blown. I don't feel 100% today either and still sort of have a dull headache. I'll take that anyday over a migraine though so I'll consider myself lucky.
I just caught a little bit of the Grammy's as it was being replayed on AFN. I have a few comments to make. First of all, when you have to bleep out half the song because of explicit lyrics, it really doesn't do much for the viewers watching at home. In fact, it is kinda ridiculous. Secondly, what was Lady GaGa wearing on her head? That thing was not a hat. I feel sorry for the guy that was sitting behind her. My last observation is how in the world Taylor Swift won album of the year. I mean I am not knocking Taylor Swift but she was up against Beyonce, Black Eyed Peas, Dave Matthews??? It sure doesn't make sense to me!
Anyways, not much else is going on. I am fighting the urge to take a nap. I know that if I do, I will never have a shot at sleeping tonight. I already had lunch with Deaner today and hit up the commissary. Now I am just doing laundry and cleaning up the house. I don't know how it manages to get so messy on the weekends but I know who I am blaming!! :) We are probably going to be booking tickets to the US soon and I can't wait! We are thinking of going for the first two weeks in May and that means that I won't have to wait that much longer!! I'm off to make my bed and keep cleaning up! Happy Monday!!

This is your chance to be a star. Enter the 2011 Teen Substance Abuse Awareness Through Music contest, hosted by the GRAMMY Foundation and MusiCares in collaboration with the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Teens who submit an original song or music video promoting a healthy and drug-free lifestyle have a chance to win an invitation to Los Angeles to attend the 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards rehearsal for a backstage experience and other awesome prizes. Visit NIDA's National Drug Facts Week page for more information about the contest.
SBB recently talked to Super Star (his legal name), who is a member of the ROCKSTAR SUPERSTAR PROJECT. He told us about his real-life experience with drug addiction, and even a few tips about being a rock star. This is a project he started with his twin brother Rock Star (also his legal name) to help others learn from his experience.
What is the ROCKSTAR SUPERSTAR PROJECT?
I started the ROCKSTAR SUPERSTAR PROJECT (RSSS) with my twin brother to increase awareness about addiction, celebrate recovery from it, and spread hope to those affected by it. Our mission is to get people talking about how substance use, affects teens and their families, and to involve them in important conversations about drug and alcohol abuse in homes and schools across America.
My brother and I are showing people it is fun and cool to spread the facts about drugs and drug abuse. For middle schools and high schools, we host live Skype sessions and give a presentation called "Got Serenity?" We also released a music CD called Serenity, focused solely on beating addiction. On the CD, we worked with some of our own rock 'n roll heroes who share our passion about sobriety. We published a book called The First 30 Days to Serenity, and we'll be taking our Rockin' Recovery Tour to cities across the United States during the month of September in honor of National Recovery Month.
Why did you create RSSS?
I fought drug addiction for 15 years. When I was 21, I remember getting high and swearing to myself that I would not go back for more drugs when they ran out, but I did. I remember thinking I probably had a problem, but I couldn't stop. I tried to quit hundreds of times, but even a heroin overdose was not enough to stop me.
My addiction cost me a lot: all of my friends left me and my family lost hope and stopped calling me. It wasn't until I made the decision for myself that I finally stuck with it. Even after 3 years sober, the trail of devastation caused by my drug use has not been fixed, and I'm still working to get back the trust that I lost during my drug use.
Getting sober was not easy, but by staying sober, I realize I can give people hope of overcoming dependence on drugs and alcohol and the despair that can come with it.
Who is your greatest influence?
Paul Stanley from Kiss. He made it to the top of his profession by choosing to stay away from all the substances that destroyed many of his peers. I respect him for encouraging others to stay on the right path, and I am proud that I can now call him my friend.
What advice do you have for aspiring rock stars?
Hold your ground. Believe in yourself, perfect your craft, and remember that the person you see in the mirror is the most valuable thing you have. The beauty that lies within us is what will allow each of us to achieve our dreams, whether it's becoming a Rock Star or Super Star or something else! Finally, always love, always encourage, and never let despair get in the way! Rockstar Superstar Project
I checked out their website and they are doing great things to spread inspiration and hope to teens! Keep up the great work Rock Star and Super Star! I'm going to share this with my kids' school.
2 of the most wonderful inspirations out there right now
this is a very interesting idea these gentleman have here
Great that you are trying to support prevention and recovery. Thanks for all you are doing!!
hanks for all you are doing!! [commercial link removed, per guidelines]
Great that you're fighting drug abuse but too bad that your campaign is spamming people's Inboxes with unsolicited emails. I've been getting spam emails about the Rockstar Superstar Project on your behalf from reverbnation.com everyday this whole week. It started with a bogus confirmation email and hasn't stopped since then. While I applaud your efforts, you need to find a more legitimate way to promote your project than spamming people's Inboxes.
@cannabis dispensaries You are right, there are differing opinions about the value of medical marijuana and so "the jury is still out." Just as a reminder, NIDA is a research organization; we do not set policy, including policies around medical marijuana. Research supported by NIDA has found that some of marijuana's components, when extracted, serve as effective medicine. Two FDA-approved medicines are currently available, and more may be on the way. However, the scientific evidence to date is not sufficient for the marijuana plant to gain FDA approval. While some individuals may feel that marijuana has helped their symptoms, there have not been enough clinical trials showing that marijuana's potential benefits outweigh its known risks. More research is needed.

From Halibut to Sleeper Sharks
I transferred to UAS with a varied array of university attendance already under my belt. I had previously been enrolled in other schools in Utah, Anchorage, Hawaii, and Mexico. While all were important experiences, none offered the comprehensive, stimulating, and personalized education I found at UAS. The transfer to UAS represented a marked change in my perception toward education and of self application. Course enrollment and attendance were no longer jaded tasks, but were healthy challenges. I found that I truly love formal education when it is taught by exceptional and enthusiastic instructors, and the classroom frequently seeps out into the wilderness. Both are commonplace at UAS. In my two years studying at UAS, I was able to more than get my feet wet in marine biology. Aside from everyday classes that took me out voyaging on boats, tromping through forests, and prodding through tide pools, I was able to spend the summer of 2006 researching sleeper sharks with Beth Mathews, a UAS faculty member. Here, I played an active role in planning and implementing research on sleeper shark diet and distribution. I spent my time both interviewing long-line fishermen and fishing for these massive 9-foot sharks. Somewhere mixed in the moments of pulling slimy 100 lb halibut into a boat, measuring hematocrit of squirming spot shrimp, necropsying harbor seals, and tagging sleeper sharks, I met the true biologist within me. It has always been there, but it truly needed the rigorous scientific training and preparation UAS provided me in order to be of any use. I have recently graduated and for the first time, I feel that I am a capable biologist. This milepost is far from the end of the line, as I am already planning graduate school studies and summer field research employment. In graduate school I anticipate studying fisheries and their interactions with marine mammals.

As Unions, Students Join Occupy Wall Street, Are We Witnessing Growth of a New Movement?
"As the Occupy Wall Street protest enters its twentieth day, New York City's most powerful unions are set to march today from City Hall to the movement's encampment in the Financial District. The demonstration will be bolstered by the walkout of potentially thousands of students at major public universities in New York City where tuition rates are on the rise. Meanwhile, similar "occupation" movements are springing up in cities around the country. On Tuesday, the Greater Boston Labor Council, representing 154 unions with 90,000 workers, supported the Occupy Boston encampment for shining "a spotlight on the imbalance of power in our nation and the role that Wall Street has played in devastating our economy." We host a discussion about whether the Occupy Wall Street movement is sparking a diverse, grassroots movement for economic change. We're joined by Kai Wright, contributor to The Nation magazine and editorial director of ColorLines.com, where he wrote "Here's to Occupying Wall Street! (If Only That Were Actually Happening)." We also speak with Arun Gupta, an editor with of The Indypendent, and of "The Occupied Wall Street Journal," a newspaper affiliated with the Occupy Wall Street movement, where he published an article titled, "The Revolution Begins at Home."...."

Someone else asked about the purpose of the tumbleweed badge before, 2 but I think this badge should possible be "burninated".
Yes, burninated. Burninate the tumbleweed badge!
Although others have said "it's a consolation prize", really it seems it's actually awarded to questions that border on "too localized" -- some really specific task to some particular API, browsing some the awardees there.
Even if it is genuinely a good question, being the recipient of tumbleweed seems to say "hey, good question, sorry nobody here's interested." Which I don't think is a good sentiment. For me
It's the only badge with a negative connotation, really, the only badge which you probably don't want. And people don't seem to want negative connotation badges! (last few (negative) answers have negative suggestions
(It would be delicious irony if I got tumbleweed for this.)
