  1. Fearful of cults...fearful of stalkers...fearful of two faced people.... Rather guyish. I always get the guy when a couple gets divorced. Doesn't matter that I never was attracted or that I tried to make her my friend as well... I always inherit the man when a couple breaks up. I feel like a dude. Sorta.
  2. Found a new band I love to pieces. This is a very spiritual song.

  8. <BR style="CLEAR: both"> document.write(''); document.write(Cutline[0]); Cameron Gudobba of the Robo Rovers team from Roberts Elementary School gets ready to launch the team's robot during a recent demonstration at the school. The team earned a third place overall championship award in the First LEGO League championship Dec. 5. By DEBRA KASZUBSKIEight teams representing six Utica Community Schools buildings demonstrated their robot maneuvering, teamwork, presentation and research techniques Dec. 5 at Lakeland High School in White Lake during the First LEGO League state championship tournament. The Robo Rovers from Roberts Elementary School in Shelby Township took home a third place overall championship award. The championship award is given to a team who performs well in technical, teamwork and presentation. Other UCS schools, including teams from Switzer, Burr and Crissman elementary schools, earned accolades in individual categories. There were 48 teams from schools located throughout southeast Michigan at the competition. "I really like LEGOs and programming, so I was really excited to do so well," said Stephen Odgen, 11, of Shelby Township, who was on the Robo Rovers team. Each team, made up of 9- to 14-year-old students, built and programmed a sensor-equipped autonomous LEGO robot which made its way through a field of obstacles while either avoiding or surviving impact. Matches were 2 1/2 minutes long, with all teams receiving the same supplies and mat for their robot to maneuver. During a recent demonstration to the school, the Robo Rovers' robot, dubbed Jacob Bilbo, made its way past obstacles and across the mat. Roberts' other team, Rockin' Roberts Robots, who also made it to the state tournament but did not take home any awards, also displayed its hard work. "For a rookie team to do so well at states is a great accomplishment," said Robo Rovers coach John Odgen of Shelby Township. "They worked very hard and I'm really proud." The Robo Rovers where also finalists in the Innovative Robot Design, Programming and Quality Robot Design categories. Preparation started Sept. 3 when teams received their supplies and a theme for a team project - the other major component of the competition. The theme, called Smart Moves, focused on transportation and required teams to think about how people, animals and information move throughout their communities. Then, teams picked one main mode of transportation to research and problem-solve. The Robo Rovers studied submarines and the risk of transferring people when not in port. They came up with solution to the problem called the SMaRT Bridge, a makeshift bridge that provides a stable support for entry into the sub. Switzer's team, E.B.H.H. (Every Bot Helps Humanity), earned second place in Creative Presentation for the team's demonstration of its Ultrasonic Bike Safety System, a device conceived by the team that's designed to prevent car and bike collisions. Switzer coach Eileen Shaughnessy of Shelby Township said judges liked the team's imaginative presentation and solution, which included a warning system to alert drivers when a bicyclist is within 15 feet of the car. "There are so many bikes in Shelby Township, especially near 25 Mile and Schoenherr, where we are. There are so many near-misses," Shaughnessy said. "I'm proud that (the team) came up with a potential solution to a big problem." The Chocolate Chunks of Doom, one of three teams from Crissman Elementary in Shelby Township, earned second place in Research Quality. The team studied airplane icing and microwave technology, and interviewed experts from Selfridge Air National Guard Base and Pentastar Aviation. Their solution was to use magnetron inside the fuselage to direct microwaves at the wing's edge to melt the ice. They also presented techniques to shield passengers. Their ideas also earned the team a finalist position in the Innovation Solutions category. "We found a new, creative solution that does not exist," said Chocolate Chunks of Doom coach Pascal Roy. The Burr Robodogs from Burr Elementary School in Sterling Heights earned second place in Teamwork, which honors extraordinary enthusiasm and spirit. Teams honored in this category also demonstrate the utmost respect to their teammates and encouragement to other teams. Beck Elementary School's team, Robo Phoenix, was named a finalist in Programming. "I'm very proud of them. They showed dedication, and I'm very impressed with coaches and the team," said Beck Principal Sally Klatt. Jet Force, another team from Crissman, and Ebeling Elementary School's Ebeling Burning Brain Bot Movers also made it to the state competition, but did not earn awards.
  9. Welcome aboard! Anyone who is related to Reverend Reverence must have at least a sliver of coolness...
  10. Like craaaap. ugh. Shouldn't have swapped spit with so many people new years eve shouldn't go naked in the snow shouldn't stay out partying till 6 am when I think I might be coming down with something I feel it was the longest nye celebration ever in my life lasted 3 days. Too much.
  11. Not getting sneezies thats for sure. Thats why I stopped getting drunk and making out with people. And I gottsa get up early ugh but playing ping pong and having a deer almost eat out of my hand? Made up for it. That and the Jagger is helping my cold not come on.
  12. I would be up for a shoot. Will do any style costume or makeup and willing to go anywhere...hell i have been hissed at for taking pics dressed up as a satan worshipper in a crack hood...lol crack heads no likey us when we go there at 3 am to shoot. gotta do it quick. its a good idea to scout areas in the day so you know exactly where your going at night.
  13. http://www.youtube.c...h?v=1sk3B6YSmt4 I tell you what, I lived with a colostomy for awhile...its no way to live. http://io9.com/5135741/stick-your-arm-inside-a-cows-stomach-no-seriously
  14. Prob going to go back to cooking all my own meals on one day then freezing the rest. I got lazy about cooking since the kids moved out. Not going back to vegan but am shopping at Randazzos fruit market from now on as well. Had no idea most shit is gmo now. And most people dont know this but...when you give animals a traumatic death...that lasts a few...not hang them up and bleed them? All that adrenaline gets stuck in the muscles YOU EAT and pretty much poisons it. It is sent to the muscles when the animal freaks from the way they kill them...its part of the flight or fight response. Thats why ranchers like a quick clean death. And males are usually castrated. Oh and the antibiotics cause cows DONT EAT CORN! And the growth hormones...ick! Since I stopped reading peta...cause they are totally on the other scale and go a lil over board in the other direction...anyway...I am not as informed as I was. What the hell is with these cows with open stomachs??? Going to the Amish market to get meat from now on.
  15. MADISON, Wis. — Texting while driving, smoking in public and cooking with artery-clogging trans fats will be that much harder under a bevy of state laws set to take effect around the country on Friday. Faced with huge budget shortfalls and little extra money to throw around, state lawmakers exercised their (inexpensive) power to clamp down on impolite, unhealthy and sometimes dangerous behaviors in 2009. Even toy guns were targeted. Among the most surprising new laws set to take effect in 2010 is a smoking ban for bars and restaurants in North Carolina, the country's largest tobacco producer that has a history steeped in tradition around the golden leaf. Starting Saturday — stragglers get a one-day reprieve to puff away after their New Year's Day meals — smokers will no longer be allowed to light up in North Carolina bars and restaurants. There are exceptions for country clubs, Elks lodges and the like, but the change is a dramatic one for North Carolina, whose tax coffers long depended on Big Tobacco. Virginia approved a similar law that took effect Dec. 1, but it's more accommodating to smokers because it allows establishments to offer areas in which to light up as long as they have separate ventilating systems. Not including Virginia and its partial ban, smoking will be banned in restaurants in 29 states and in bars in 25, according to the American Lung Association. And 12 more states — including Florida, Michigan and Arkansas — have passed laws requiring manufacturers to make their cigarettes less likely to start fires, leaving Wyoming as the only state without such laws, according to the Coalition for Fire-Safe Cigarettes. America's roads should be safer in 2010, as bans on texting while driving go into effect in New Hampshire, Oregon and Illinois. According to the Governors Highway Safety Association, that will make 19 states that have outlawed the practice, not including six states that prohibit using hand-held cell phones while behind the wheel. "This legislation is important and will make our roads safer. No driver has any business text messaging while they are driving," said Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White, whose office regulates drivers. Tina Derby, 42, of Warner, N.H., said she has no intention to stop texting while driving, despite the possible $100 fine she could receive. "I'd better start saving my money," Derby said. A new Arkansas law prohibits retailers from selling toy guns that look like they real thing. But it may not have that big of an effect. Imitation guns used for theater productions and other events are exempted, as are replicas of firearms produced before 1898, BB guns, paintball or pellet guns. Major retailers in the state also say they don't expect any major changes from the new ban. Bentonville-based Wal-Mart Stores Inc. says it already follows similar federal restrictions prohibiting the sale of realistic-looking toy guns. California will be the first state to partially ban the use of artificial trans fats in restaurants in 2010, following several major cities and fast-food chains that have erased the notorious artery-clogger from menus. Starting Friday, the state's restaurants, bakeries and other retail food establishments will no longer be allowed to use products with trans fats in spreads or for frying. Restaurants will still be allowed to use trans fats to deep-fry yeast dough and in cake batter until Jan. 1, 2011. And a new anti-paparazzi law is set to take effect Friday in the state with the movie star governor that will make it easier for celebrities to sue media outlets claiming invasion of privacy. Fans of dog races will have to find another form of entertainment in Massachusetts, as the 75-year-old tradition has been outlawed starting Friday. In New Hampshire, a new gay marriage law will replace a law that allows civil unions, which already provided gay couples with all the rights and responsibilities of marriage. Starting Friday, a gay couple in a civil union can get a marriage license and have a new ceremony, if they choose. They also can convert their civil union into marriage without going through another ceremony. Couples who do nothing will have their civil unions automatically converted to marriages in 2011. Conservatives are seeking to repeal the law. In Wisconsin, both same-sex and unwed opposite-sex domestic partners who work for the state and University of Wisconsin can sign up to receive health insurance benefits. A law that allowed same-sex partners to sign a registry to receive other benefits similar to what married couples get took effect in August. Some other laws set to take effect: _ Teenagers going to a tanning bed in Texas will have to be accompanied by an adult. _ Oregon employers are prohibited from restricting employees from wearing religious clothing on the job, taking time off for holy days or participating in a religious observance or practice. _ The sale of "novelty" lighters — devices designed to look like cartoon characters, toys or guns or that play musical notes or have flashing lights — are banned in Nevada and Louisiana. "They're cute, they're little, but they can be deadly," said the Nevada bill's co-sponsor, Assembly Majority Floor Leader John Oceguera, D-Las Vegas. ___ Associated Press writers Gary D.
