  1. DES MOINES, Iowa - A hunter is recovering after he was shot in the leg at close range by his dog, who stepped on his shotgun and tripped the trigger, an official said Tuesday. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21545181/ I'm sorry but X'D Animals strike back
  2. I check my email often as I am on many mailing lists and participate in a lot of email campaigns. Sure I got a spam filter on and whatnot but like everyone else in the universe I still get hit with the male enhancement emails First of all dickweed I'm a woman and don't have anything I need to make bigger. Second, are you fucking serious? The planet on which we depend to survive is in peril. Forests and rivers are dieing all around us, pollution is making us sick, and our own climate has reacted violently to our treatement of this lil blue gem in the solar system. AIDS has knocked down the life expectancy to 30something in some countries..... and yer only concern is a bigger wang? It makes me wanna puke from my toes up to think of the money wasted on dick research. The money spent on peni could be better spent on disease research or environmental clean up. No, I don't care how big neighbor Bob's dick is or how many times he can get it up. I care more about his wife with breast cancer and his drug addict kids with vd. I'm not gonna see his penis, but I am going to see his recyceling bin. Somebody really needs a reality check
  3. Autism screening urged for toddlers by age 2 Pediatricians group says early therapy can lessen disorder’s severity CHICAGO - The country’s leading pediatricians group is making its strongest push yet to have all children screened for autism twice by age 2, warning of symptoms such as babies who don’t babble at 9 months and 1-year-olds who don’t point to toys. The advice is meant to help both parents and doctors spot autism sooner. There is no cure for the disorder, but experts say that early therapy can lessen its severity. Symptoms to watch for and the call for early screening come in two new reports. They are being released by the American Academy of Pediatrics on Monday at its annual meeting in San Francisco and will appear in the November issue of the journal Pediatrics and on the group’s Web site. The reports list numerous warning signs, such as a 4-month-old not smiling at the sound of Mom or Dad’s voice, or the loss of language or social skills at any age. Increasing worries Experts say one in 150 U.S. children have the troubling developmental disorder. “Parents come into your office now saying ‘I’m worried about autism.’ Ten years ago, they didn’t know what it was,” said Dr. Chris Johnson of the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. She co-authored the reports. The academy’s renewed effort reflects growing awareness since its first autism guidelines in 2001. A 2006 policy statement urged autism screening for all children at their regular doctor visits at age 18 months and 24 months. The authors caution that not all children who display a few of these symptoms are autistic and they said parents shouldn’t overreact to quirky behavior. Just because a child likes to line up toy cars or has temper tantrums “doesn’t mean you need to have concern, if they’re also interacting socially and also pretending with toys and communicating well,” said co-author Dr. Scott Myers, a neurodevelopmental pediatrician in Danville, Pa. “With awareness comes concern when there doesn’t always need to be,” he said. “These resources will help educate the reader as to which things you really need to be concerned about.” Another educational tool, a Web site that debuted in mid-October, offers dozens of video clips of autistic kids contrasted with unaffected children’s behavior. That Web site is sponsored by two nonprofit advocacy groups: Autism Speaks and First Signs. They hope the site will promote early diagnosis and treatment to help children with autism lead more normal lives. The two new reports say children with suspected autism should start treatment even before a formal diagnosis. They also warn parents about the special diets and alternative treatments endorsed by celebrities, saying there’s no proof those work. Therapy techniques Recommended treatment should include at least 25 hours a week of intensive behavior-based therapy, including educational activities and speech therapy, according to the reports. They list several specific approaches that have been shown to help. For very young children, therapy typically involves fun activities, such as bouncing balls back and forth or sharing toys to develop social skills; there is repeated praise for eye contact and other behavior autistic children often avoid. Mary Grace Mauney, an 18-year-old high school senior from Lilburn, Ga., has a mild form of autism that wasn’t diagnosed until she was 9. As a young girl, she didn’t smile, spoke in a very formal manner and began to repeat the last word or syllable of her sentences. She was prone to intense tantrums, but only outside school. There, she excelled and was in gifted classes. “I took her to a therapist and they said she was just very sensitive and very intense and very creative,” said her mother, Maureen, 54. Pediatricians should send such children for “early intervention as soon as you even think there’s a problem,” Johnson said. Dr. Ruby Roy, a pediatrician with Loyola University Medical Center, who treats at least 20 autistic children, applauded the reports. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21515865/ the rise of autism is disturbing. ya gotta really wonder wtf caused such a jump in the disease. what are we eating or drinking or breathing or getting shot up with that has caused this??? It's a subject close to home for me as I have a cousin who is slightly autistic. Sadly he wasn't diagnosed until he started kindergarden and his first 5ish years in school were tuff on him and his parents. I fully support early screening. the sooner an autistic child can be worked with the better for everyone involved.
  4. parental control helps, but peer pressure the media and hormones rule adolescence. you'll see when yer kids get older how truely shitafied things are. I tried to do the whole positive role models thing. My son had Steve Irwin as a lil one, and my daughter had/has Raven (I like her cuz she's not an anorexic skank)

  8. ya can start purchasing booze on 8am on a Sunday here....
  9. so cabbit and I were talking about ... nevermind. up here where I live ya have to buy liquor in the liquor store but ya can buy beer anywhere. The grocery store, Walmart, the gas station. wait, the gas station? yes, but why? so we can booze and cruise apparently We got a lotta DWI problems up here and its fatal. NYS passed a law a minute back letting the liquor stores be open on sunday. under the law they have to close 1 day of the week, a day of their choosing. can't smoke in public (not even outside in some places) but in my county alone I can but liquor at the liquor store till 10, beer and such in the store till midnight (including the gas station) and anything I want from a bar until 2 am. Every Day. I've lived in other states and had to go to specific stores for beer ... and Canada X'D Different then here. Think I might live in an alcoholic state What's it like where you are?

  11. I can honestly say that mostly hate snow. Driving in it sux, shoveling and plowing in it sux. The cold of winter sux, heating costs suck. I do like how pretty snow and ice can be. I like that the snow covers all dead and dormant things. I could live without winter but there is no place I'd rather live then here. >.<
  12. FB48n9rBQ04 I'll toss my theories out there. 4 of the 5 final cylons were aboard the Galactica, they heard the music and gathered. To me this screams out loud the 5th of the final five was elsewhere when the music played. So who does that leave? Zarek aboard the Astral Queen and Starbuck who was MIA. Bummin for me, I hate pointing the finger at my girl, but Starbuck's gift of foresight, disapperance and reapperance, and all her special little chats with the nutbag cylon obsessed with her put one hell of a glaring spotlight on her. I think Laura is in touch w/ the cylons (the dream in the opera house) because of the blood she got from Hera that sent her cancer into remission. Its back and thus 1. she is the dieing leader that will lead them to earth and 2. she's not a cylon. I think the 7 recyclable cylons split w/ the 5 because of humans. The 7 wanted war and retrebution, the 5 wanted to co exist. The final 4 revealed are all 'good guys' with carers serving humanity except Anders who was an athlete in his life before the war began. from the trailer I hope the fucker Laura shoots is Baltar X'D but I doubt it. It will probably be the 6 on board (to get her back to a resurection ship and help from the inside) or its her assistant Tori because she did something bad for the fleet (which would indicate the 5 don't have humanities best interist at heart) or they want to see if she'll resurect. The 5 have not been boxed so... If Starbuck is not a cylon then she is being led by some god(s)ly force. Tigh who insists on living as Tigh may do something to jepordize the fleet thus prompting the old man to ask him whats wrong with him. Its a cylon trap; one of the 5 betrayed the fleet or Starbuck did being mislead by her visions. pure speculation but fun to try and figure things out. Season 4 looks like it will be kick ass. and the one I think Xena erm I mean the 3 that apologized to one of the 5 was apologizing to Tigh for the cylons putting his eye out
