Yesterday around 3 or so pm my little 9 (Around nine) pound miniature poodle threw up. Just got up from a nap a threw up. In like 6 different places. But more like perging, it wasn't chunky. Then every little bit he'd have to go back out and puke some more. We made threw last night he slept all night, then this morning he threw up again around 7 or 8 am, then he's been fine, until about 30 minutes ago, he threw up again. Then about 5 minutes after that he threw up again! After I got him to drink a good bit of water, (he hasn't had any since yesterday, or food, but he did eat a little bit of chicken baby food today) Now my brother thinks he's wheezing a bit, and he's shivering a little bit. His nose has been dry but now it's wet, but I'm not sure if it's from drinking the water ( that was around 5 or 10 minutes ago) or if he's getting better. Please help, any advise will be welcome. Also someone suggested giving him Pepcide AC or something like that. We haven't taken him to the vet yet, the nurse said we should wait tillthis after noon and he seemed to be getting better but now I'm not so sure. Advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Sarah and Shadow Oh I'm Sarah and Shadow, but my name is not showing up right now on the profile!

ok i know this seems stupid...but this girl is getting out of line. let call my friend sarah. so sarah and me went to my other friends birthday, lets call her taylor. well, i was making chocolate milk, then after i put it all away sarah wanted to make chocolate milk too. while we were doing it, somebody spilled some chocolate powder on a dish towel. im not even sure who's fault it is, although sarah blames it on me (although it may have been hers when she was stirring or mine when i put the chocolate in). well, sarah sees the chocolate, and goes and pours some water on the towel (lol). well, then she and this other girl went and hid the towel. i felt really bad, but i didnt want taylor to get in trouble on her birthday. so, sarah and this other girl went crazy laughing about it all night (they named the towel). i told sarah and the girl i wouldnt tell taylor (not promised). well, later, i just told taylor because i felt really bad about it and knew if her mom found it she would get into huge trouble. so i just told taylor the truth and that she should throw it in the wash. well, then, sarah found out. she has always been an overreacting person that can never accept the blame for herself, that dwells on things for months. she wasnt mad because i told- she was mad for me making her "look bad". however, i told taylor that it was both of our faults! and then, sarah said "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT IF YOU HADNT SPILLED THE CHOCOLATE THEN THIS WOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED SO JUST ADMIT THAT THE BLAME IS ALL YOURS!!!" i just told her i took an equal part of the blame that she did, and she should learn to take responsibility. please help, i know this could be somewhat my fault (if it was me, tho we're not sure) but who do you think should take the blame? thanks <3 yeah i wish i could yell at her but i found out that just makes it worse and she just fights back...then the CUSSING fight starts and it gets ugly from there (thats sarah for you)

Why regulation matters, in U.S. and China STANLEY CROUCH SYNDICATED COLUMNIST Last week, as John McCain and the Republican Party had to walk off the plank into shark-infested waters created by deregulation, the Chinese continued their record of scandalously tainted products and blasted their international reputation on a far lower scale than the way the trust in the American economy was dealt some low and diminishing blows by Wall Street. Both the American capitalists and the Chinese totalitarian capitalists distinguished their regimes by revealing a fundamental indifference to individual human lives and the impact had on them by unsafe or predatory practices. But our scandals have made the American version of the blues focus on a two-part theme: disillusionment and loss of confidence in how our economy has been run, and a deep disappointment in our political leadership. It was not always like it is now. Whether or not we bought the ironclad cliché "the rich get richer while the poor get poorer," we naively thought the economy could handle itself and that those in positions of authority and leadership would look out for everyone else. We thought that, at least partially, because the Republican Party always talked of deregulation as the high road to profit, the less impediment to travel the better. The trouble seems to finally come down to a sense of entitlement that has spread across society from the top to the bottom. This sense of entitlement has done many things to our people. Anyone who knows why laws exist should have been very wary of the deregulation trick bag because it goes against everything that we have known about human nature for ages. Limitations exist primarily to provide order. Though our version of capitalism actually is about bringing the profit motive in line with morality and ethics, it should always have been clear that some human beings will sell anything they can in any way that they can -- if they are not watched. That is why we have food and drug acts, which prevent the kinds of things that recently took place in China, with many thousands of babies being sickened by milk products that the manufacturer knew included an ingredient that also killed a handful of babies. We know well that that is not a Chinese problem as much as it is a human problem. The Republicans seemed not to believe this. So the Republicans moved to liberate the business community as much as they could from scrutiny and limitations in the marketplace. They seemed against all but restrictive laws against obvious things such as selling poison for food. McCain supported that vision of business, and ran himself ragged last week as he proved Barack Obama's observation that the senator from Arizona didn't need to debate his opponent, he needed to debate himself! McCain shot off his mouth and grandstanded as though being consistent or maintaining his own way was much less relevant than taking attention away from Obama, who had begun to take a lead in the polls. In that light, it was McCain's leapfrogging from one opinion to its opposite, or not knowing the facts when he was in the process of making a proclamation that belittled what he had previously said -- and himself in the process. McCain soon discovered that Sarah Palin had become an albatross and appeared with her in yet another Katie Couric interview, sure then she would not blow more holes into the hull of his campaign. That he cannot appear with her in Thursday's debate may end her whole national story and truly suspend his campaign. Perhaps most unexpected is the way that conservatives have begun to serve John McCain his head on a plate. George Will, easily one of the most eloquent and intellectually stimulating conservatives, has recently charged McCain with not being fit for the presidency. He has become disgusted and disturbed by all of McCain's turnabouts and his melodramatic posturing of ideas that have no nuance and no heft. McCain's cancelling his campaign in order to apparently try to steal some heroism from the financial crisis as proof of his leadership abilities, was, for Will, the final straw. Now that the House Republicans have stopped the $700 billion handout and McCain did no more than make claims to have stopped a campaign that the Huffington Post proved he did not, the senator is down on one knee and would have been down for the count had Obama in last week's debate kept reminding him that the war in Iraq is costing billions to trillions of dollars. That at least partially explains some of our economic woes. If the bailout fails a second time, those Republican bulls might be swimming in the blood flooding Wall Street if and when the Chinese come shopping, just to see what they can buy for $700 billion. That's another fact about the purity of money: It has neither friends nor enemies, only those who possess it and those who move it.

Benjamin Franklin Benjamin Franklin was an accomplished printer, scientist, statesman and diplomat throughout his life. He was very successful and discovered many useful tools. Childhood, education, family, career, achievements and struggles are the main points in his life. First is his childhood. He was born Sunday, January 17, 1706, in a Puritan part of Boston. He lived in an active house which was a tiny rented house in Boston. He had many household jobs, which included getting wood together, chopping it for the family’s fire, supplying water and cleaning the house. After his jobs, he liked to be outside, explore Boston, and read. Once he was older, his father chose his occupation. First, he wanted him to make tapers. Ben didn’t enjoy this job, and his father thought he may enjoy printing. Ben accompanied his brother, James, in this job. The next topic is education. Ben was educated in English and literature, by his mother possibly, at the ages of three to four. He educated himself in swimming, sailing and rowing when he was a child. He was born into a Puritan family, but never adopted the religion. He was very intelligent, more than most of his companions. When he was old enough for school, his father first sent him to Boston Latin School in 1714. The next year, his father reconsidered, and sent him to George Bronwell’s School. There he learned English, literature and arithmetic. Third is his family. Ben was always nice to his family, and had good relationships with all but one of his family members, his son William. When Ben was born, he was the 15th child to his father and 8th child to his mother; his father had remarried. His parents were Josiah and Abiah Franklin. He had 14 siblings. Later on, he married Deborah Read. He had two sons, William and Francis, and a daughter, Sarah, but he liked to call her Sally. Frankie was born on October 20, 1732, and died on November 21, 1734 at the age of two. Then there are his careers. When he was young, he first made tapers. Then he was put into printing. He was very smart and made many discoveries. He is most known for being a writer and scientist. Later on in his life, he owned a printing press and a library. After that, there are his achievements. Ben was very successful. He had many inventions and writings. One of his favorite writings is “Poor Richards Almanac.” One of his famous inventions was the Franklin stove. He helped form the Declaration and other important documents such as the Constitution. He helped form America and its government. He founded the Postal Service. Finally, there are his struggles. He dreamed about going to sea at the age of ten, but instead was put to work in his father’s career. He also had to do other jobs his father decided for him that he did not enjoy. One was the printing press. He did like it, however, but he did not like the fighting he had with his brother. That eventually caused him to runaway to New York City. He secretly boarded a boat set to sail there. He and his son had different ideas about the war and weren’t very fond of each other. At 79, Ben was diagnosed with gout. This disease made him very sick and sometimes he couldn’t walk, stand, talk, or write. At 84 he finally died peacefully at his house in Philadelphia in the evening of April 17th, 1790. Early life, schooling, relatives, jobs, accomplishments, and hardships were important roles in his life. He had a very interesting life, and discovered many theories and created many inventions. Some of which continue to have an impact on our lives today.

Innocent Death Beep… Beep…Beep… At promptly 7:00 a.m., I awoke to the sound of my annoying alarm clock. I hate Mondays, I thought, angrily throwing the stupid alarm clock across the room. With a loud clatter it fell to the floor. It was probably broken, but I didn’t care. I hated that alarm clock anyway. Dragging my feet in to the bathroom, I began my usual routine. As I walked into the cold bathroom, my feet hit the glossy tile floors. I could easily smell the Lysol disinfectant when I trudged in. The crisp white towels were in a stack next to the marble sink. I snatched one, and ran it under hot water. Putting it up against my face, I felt relieved and comforted. I was too relaxed. I set the towel down and got dressed. I almost tripped on one of my brothers boxers.. In a hurry, I stood up and walked out, relieved that I made it out without a loud pounding on the door from my upset brother. Quickly, secretly fearing my brother's wrath, I returned to the bedroom to dress for school, wasting some time before eventually selecting my black jeans and rocker T-shirt. But of course I took too long. Then there was a loud pounding on the door. I sighed and opened the door. He was standing there, his blonde hair shining in the light. His green eyes were flashing. His muscles flexed as he saw me. "About time!" He said. "Do you know what I have to get ready for today? Sheesh! There's a party after school today that I CAN'T miss! Not to mention I gotta try to hook up with the hot girl in my chemistry class for the party. And I have to make sure I look good for all the ladies in the school. So get out of my way, dork." He said, and shoved passed me, pushed me into the hall, and closed the door in my face. "I'm surprised you even made it to Chemistry. Thought you'd still be in fifth grade, with your F's and D's." I muttered. "WHAT!?" He yelled through the door. "Nothing!" I snapped, and walked back to my room. I still find it amazing mom and dad haven't grounded him for life yet. Constant parting...more worried about looking good and being popular than his grades. I ran a hand through my plain black hair looking at my brown eyes. "Although I wouldn't mind looking a little better myself..." I shook my head to get the runaway thought out of it. "Silly. Just being silly..." I muttered, and walked downstairs. “Hi mo-, wow” I said as I walked down the stairs and quickly gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. There was a feast on the table! Eggs, bacon, cheese, toast, chicken. “Good morning sweetheart. It took me an hour, but I thought I would make a descent breakfast for a change!”, she said with a pleasant voice. “Awww thanks mom. But I’m running really late. So thanks, but bye”, I said in a hurry. "You haven't eaten anything," She said, obviously disappointed that I didn't appreciate the breakfast she made me. "It looks really great, Mom, it does. But if I stop to eat I'll miss the bus. Look, I'll grab some toast and eat it on the way, ok?" I said. She smiled. "Alright. Have a good day dear." She said, and kissed my forehead. "Moom" I whined. She smiled at me. I grabbed a piece of toast off the table just to make mom happy. As soon as I closed the door, I tossed the toast under the bush where the birds could have it. I then ran to catch my bus - I barely got to it in time. “Hey Summer,” Marty, the bus driver, said in his accent, “How are ya?” “I’m good. And you?” I responded back “I’m good too. Have a great day kido” He said “Thanks Marty,” I said and began to head to my seat, next to Sean. There is one thing that you need to know about Sean. Me and Sean have been best friends as far back as I can remember. We grew up together, him being the boy next door; our parents being friends. The moment we were first sat down in the playpen beside each other, we were stuck to each other like glue. I was right beside Sean when he took his first step, we learned how to ride bikes together, I went into the first day of kindergarten clutching my Power Puff Girls lunch box and Sean’s hand. In fourth grade when I had a B minus in math Sean helped me with homework every afternoon, when we were younger we spent winter days helping one another search for hidden Christmas gifts, in seventh grade Sean helped me decide what to wear to my first date to the movies, in sixth grade I helped him get ready for basketball tryouts, in eighth grade he gave me a shoulder to cry on after my first breakup, freshman year- this year-I taught him how to be the kind of guy girls love, and I was the one who helped him get through the time his girlfriend- Sarah- cheated on him. We were always there for each other. Always. Following the average Monday routine, I lazily advanced through the schools corridors in order the reach my next classroom. Having re reached the door to the class room, the school bell rung. Oh, no I thought to myself. This is the 2nd time this month that I was tardy. As the door creaked open I prepared myself for the class and took out my supplies. “ Mrs. James, do you think you can just burst into my class like that, and get away with it?” Mr. Stuart said in his high pitched voice. “Well no but-”he interrupted as I searched my mind for new excuses as to use. “Detention”, he said, pleased with himself. “Detention?”, I repeat him. “Now class, take out a pencil and pen, pop quiz time.” He continued, ignoring me. The rest of the day passed as planned. We took our science test, got tons of homework, and so on. As I shut the door of Mr. Stuart’s room, I was glad I was finally free from this wretched place. Then I remembered how late I was. I knew mother would throw a bombshell. I ra I ran as quickly as I could. With that I turn around, put the key in the keyhole, unlock the door, and walk inside my house. The moment I walk into my house I know something was not right. For one, my Mom wasn’t immediately all over me complaining that I’m an hour late from school. Secondly, it's too quiet. My mother doesn't understand the concept of peace and quiet. Lastly, I can see my mother crumpled on the floor, unconscious. And it looks as if, possibly, she's not breathing. My first response is to check for a pulse. I put my fingers to her neck- nothing. I rush to give her CPR, which causes me to see the blood. Oh God, way too much blood. I look for the wound and can't seem to find it, until I look at her head. A huge bullet hole, right through her head. I start to panic and cry. "Mom! Mom wake up!" I scream at her, though I know she won't. I know a dead person when I see one. I start sobbing, but then during a moment when I stop my sobbing my f sobbing my for a moment to breathe- I heard it. Someone was walking up the basement stairs. I could clearly hear their footsteps, I could see their shadow. My back was to them, and I knew for a fact that they can see me. I knew that I would soon die. Before I really even got to live. I got a measly fourteen- a few months before fifteen- years. There are so many things I wish I'd done while I still had a chance. "Well, well Summer, fancy meeting you here," I hear a familiar voice say. I turn around to see a familiar face. "You?" I breath out. “Bye, Summer.", he said in his low-toned voice I took a deep breath, and with all the courage I have, said, “Bye, dad”, I cried. And then I feel something hard-a baseball bat possibly- hit my head with tremendous force. With a loud boom I fell to the floor, blood rushing everywhere. To be continued…………. WHAT CAN I PUT TO THE BEGINNING TO MAKE IT MORE INTERESTING!!!

With a loud clatter it fell to the floor. It was probably broken, but I didn’t care. I hated that alarm clock anyway. Dragging my feet in to the bathroom, I began my usual routine. As I walked into the cold bathroom, my feet hit the glossy tile floors. I could easily smell the Lysol disinfectant when I trudged in. The crisp white face towels were in a stack next to the marble counter top sink. I snatched one, and ran it under hot water. Putting it up against my face, I felt relieved and comforted. I was too relaxed. I set the towel down and got dressed. I almost tripped when I slipped on my jeans. The wash cloth had dripped water and my back almost smacked the bath tub. In a hurry, I stood up and walked out, relieved that I made it out without a loud pounding on the door from my upset brother. Hurriedly then, secretly fearing my brother's wrath, I returned to the bedroom to dress for school, wasting some time before eventually selecting my black jeans and rocker T-shirt. But of course I took too long. I sighed and opened the door. He was standing there, his blonde hair shining in the light. His green eyes were flashing with irritation. His muscles flexed as he saw me. "About time!" He said. "Do you know what I have to get ready for today? Sheesh! There's a party after school today that I CAN'T miss! Not to mention I gotta try to hook up with the hot girl in my chemistry class for the party. And I have to make sure I look good for all the ladies in the school. So get out of my way, dork." He said, and shoved passed me, pushed me into the hall, and closed the door in my face. "I'm surprised you even made it to Chemistry. Thought you'd still be in fifth grade at best, with your F's and D's." I muttered. "WHAT!?" He yelled through the door. "Nothing!" I snapped, and walked back to my room. I still find it amazing mom and dad haven't grounded him for life yet. Constant parting...more worried about looking good and being popular than his grades. I ran a hand through my plain black hair as my normal brown eyes turned thoughtful. "Although I wouldn't mind looking a little better myself..." I shook my head to get the runaway thought out of it. "Silly. Just being silly..." I muttered, and walked downstairs. “Hi mo-, wow” I said as I walked down the stairs and quickly gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. There was a feast on the table! Eggs, bacon, cheese, toast, chicken. “Good morning sweetheart. It took me an hour, but I thought I would make a descent breakfast for a change!”, she said with a pleasant voice. "You haven't eaten anything," She said, obviously disappointed that I didn't appreciate the breakfast she made me. "It looks really great, Mom, it does. But if I stop to eat I'll miss the bus. Look, I'll grab some toast and eat it on the way, ok?" I said, grabbing a piece of toast as I spoke. She smiled. "Alright. Have a good day dear." She said, and kissed my forehead. "Moom" I whined. She smiled at me. I grabbed a piece of toast off the table just to make mom happy. As soon as I closed the door, I tossed the toast under the bush where the birds could have it. I then ran to catch my bus - I barely got to it in time. “Hey Summer,” Marty, the bus driver, said in his accent, “How are ya?” “I’m good. And you?” I responded back “I’m good too. Have a great day kido” He said “Thanks Marty,” I said and began to head to my seat, next to Sean. There is one thing that you need to know about Sean. Me and Sean have been best friends as far back as I can remember. We grew up together, him being the boy next door; our parents being friends. The moment we were first sat down in the playpen beside each other, we were stuck to each other like glue. I was right beside Sean when he took his first step, we learned how to ride bikes together, I went into the first day of kindergarten clutching my Power Puff Girls lunch box and Sean’s hand. In fourth grade when I had a B minus in math Sean helped me with homework every afternoon, when we were younger we spent winter days helping one another search for hidden Christmas gifts, in seventh grade Sean helped me decide what to wear to my first date to the movies, in sixth grade I helped him get ready for basketball tryouts, in eighth grade he gave me a shoulder to cry on after my first breakup, freshman year- this year-I taught him how to be the kind of guy girls love, and I was the one who helped him get through the time his girlfriend- Sarah- cheated on him. We were always there for each other. Always. Following the average Monday routine, I lazily advanced through the schools corridors in order the reach my next classroom. Having reached the door to the class room, the school bell rung. Oh, no I thought to myself. This is the 2nd time this month that I was tardy. As the door creaked open I prepared myself for the class and took out my supplies. “ Mrs. James, do you think you can just burst into my class like that, and get away with it?” Mr. Stuart said in his high pitched voice. “Well no but-”he interrupted as I searched my mind for new excuses as to use. “Detention”, he said, pleased with himself. “Detention?”, I repeat him. “Now class, take out a pencil and pen, pop quiz time.” He continued, ignoring me. The rest of the day passed as planned. We took our science test, got tons of homework, and so on. As I shut the door of Mr. Stuart’s room, I was glad I was finally free from this wretched place. Then I remembere Then I remembered how late I was. I knew mother would throw a bombshell. I ran as quickly as I could. With that I turn around, put the key in the keyhole, unlock the door, and walk inside my house. The moment I walk into my house I know something was not right. For one, my Mom wasn’t immediately all over me complaining that I’m an hour late from school. Secondly, it's too quiet. My mother doesn't understand the concept of peace and quiet. Lastly, I can see my mother crumpled on the floor, unconscious. And it looks as if, possibly, she's not breathing. My first response is to check for a pulse. I put my fingers to her neck- nothing. I rush to give her CPR, which causes me to see the blood. Oh God, way too much blood. I look for the wound and can't seem to find it, until I look at her head. A huge bullet hole, right through her head. I start to panic and cry. "Mom! Mom wake up!" I scream at her, though I know she won't. I know a dead person when I when I see one. I start sobbing, but then during a moment when I stop my sobbing my for a moment to breathe- I heard it. Someone was walking up the basement stairs. I could clearly hear their footsteps, I could see their shadow. My back was to them, and I knew for a fact that they can see me. I knew that I would soon die. Before I really even got to live. I got a measly fourteen- a few months before fifteen- years. There are so many things I wish I'd done while I still had a chance. "Well, well Summer, fancy meeting you hear," I hear a familiar voice say. I turn around to see a familiar face. "You?" I breathed out. “Bye, Summer.", he said in his low-toned voice I took a deep breath, and with all the courage I have, said, Bye, dad-” And then I feel something hard-a baseball bat possibly- hit my head with tremendous force. I'm on the floor unconscious before I can even say his name. To be continued………….

I've been asking these types of questions for a while for lack of answers, and I hope this is the last one. I used to have 2 orandas, and 2 bubble-eyes. I returned the orandas because all I could get was a 10-gallon tank. So now I have 1 2-inch bubble-eye, and one 1 1/2-inch bubble eye. Yes I know that the tank should be somewhat bigger. Should i return one, or keep both of them. I have a 10-gallon filter and an air stone. I make weekly 25% water changes. Any tips? P.S. (To Sarah) Since you're probably gonna answer this Q., please don't berate me for having a small tank, since I just want answers. Same goes for all of you. You can criticize me, just don't get mad like Sarah.

Beep… Beep…Beep… I woke up to the sound of my annoying alarm clock. Today was going to be the best day of my life, it was my birthday! If I only knew what was to come. Crunch! As I smacked the snooze button, the clock went flying to the wall. It was probably broken, but I didn’t even care. I hated that alarm clock anyway. Dragging my feet in to the bathroom, I began to get ready for school. I quickly went to the bathroom to get freshened up and to put on my clothes. I decided I would wear my black jeans and my rocker Tshirt with the treble notes embroidered at the edges. I quickly splashed my face with water and left before my brother made a big fuss about me taking too long. My brother’s life was perfect at school because he was the most popular kid. The kid that everyone knew. The kid that wore the expensive outfits and whistled at girls as they walked through the hallways. Moron. The girls, of course didn’t mind, with his blond hair, huge muscles, and sparkling green eyes. But at home he wasn’t the same. He was constantly fighting with our parents about his grades, his inappropriate clothes, and his constant partying. I, on the other hand, obeyed my parents and respected everyone. I wanst the smartest of all students, but at least I tried. I had dull brown eyes, plain black hairand a very slim body. “Hi mo-, wow” I said as I walked down the stairs and quickly gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. There was a feast on the table! “Good morning sweetheart. Happy Birthday!”, she said with a pleasant voice. “Awww thanks mom. But I’m running really late. So thanks, but bye, ” I said in a hurry. “But you haven’t ate anything”, she said a little disappointed that I didn’t appreaciate her breakfast. “Ill grab toast on the way. Thanks again.” I said as I shut the door behind me. I made it just in time for the bus. “Hey Michael,” Marty, the bus driver, said in his oh so-believable accent, “I heard it's ya birthday. How old are ya? 9..10..11?” “Marty,” I scowled him. I felt a little embarrassed as everyone turned and faced our conversation. “Oh I’m just kiddin. Happy birthday kido,” he finished. “Thanks Marty,” I said and began to head to my seat, next to Sean. There is one thing that you need to know about Sean. Me and Sean have been best friends as far back as I can remember. We grew up together, him being the boy next door; our parents being friends. The moment we were first sat down in the playpen beside each other, we were stuck to each other like glue.

We were always there for each other. Always. “Once a year we celebrate with stupid hats and plastic plates, the fact that you were able to make another trip around the sun. And the whole clan gathers around gifts and laughter too will bound, we let out a joyful sound and sing that stupid song. Happy Birthday, now your one year older. Happy Birthday, your life still isn't over. Happy Birthday, you did not accomplish much. But you didn't die this year, so I guess that's good enough,” he sand looking very pleased. “Umm, thanks?” I said, a little sad that my best friend found my birthday a joke.. “O, I’m just joking with you. Happy birthday, dude, ” he said “Thanks,” I answered. Following the average Monday routine, I lazily advanced through the schools corridors in order the reach my next classroom. Having reached the door to the class room, the school bell rung. Oh, no I thought to myself. This is the 2nd time this week that I was tardy.

ok needed a reason to show of my new pics of Ace, so i dedicate these pics to the people who believe Pit Bulls are "child killers" This is Ace he is 7 months old, I've owned him for about 3 weeks, he came from a home where they abused him, he lived his life on a 3 foot chain, had mange no hair on face or chest, and they cut his ears their selves, he was not fed nor given water often. He weighed 30 lbs. when they had him, and now weighs 63 lbs (not even 2 months later). Even after all that this dog loves people, children, dogs, cats etc. He has one of the best temperaments I have ever seen in any dog. http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm19/sarah_md_ks/?action=view¤t=AlanahandAce006.jpg http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm19/sarah_md_ks/?action=view¤t=AlanahandAce009.jpg http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm19/sarah_md_ks/?action=view¤t=AlanahandAce005.jpg http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm19/sarah_md_ks/?action=view¤t=AlanahandAce016.jpg That is Ace with my 4 year old daughter. Legit: If a dog that has been knowingly teased by a neighborhood child, finally had enough and bit the child, do you think that dog should be euthanized? Why? when a dad was a kid they owned a GSD the neighbor kid always teased him threw rocks, sticks etc. one day the kid threw a rock and hit the dog in th head, the dog jumped over the fence, chased the kid. the kid got inside and shut the screen door and ran into his room, the dog jumped through the screen and went in bit the kid one time and then went and sat by the front door and waited until the mother let him out, he then went back and laid on his porch, he was euthanized. how kenny thats a stupid answer, first off the question wasn't even directed towards Pit Bulls. and second what fairy town do you live in? kids tease dogs all the time, kids love to see what they can get a way with... Pit Bulls got their bad rep from people like you who know nothing about the breed, and follow along the news and other ignorant people. lol my spelling is off today, sorry.

ok, so i was sharpening a large chefs knife, and i was sharpening it quite fast, and it slipped in the steel and sliced into my knuckle on my index finger, i quickly put it under the cold water tap, and noticed it had the black dust from the steel in my cut. i tried to clean it out but some is still in there. i can not open the cut again because its gone through to my bone and really hurts. how long will this take to heal? and will the black dust off the steal infect it? im quite worried about this. i have 2 plasters around it but a bit of blood is still coming through and my fingers gone like a purple colour. any info would be really helpful. and is there any ideas on how to make it heal faster? thanks in advance, sarah.

I went to a party this weekend and a girl (Anna) I've known since high school (she went to a diff h.s.) and goes to the same college with me now, showed up. We talked a lot more during the party than we have at school and I started dancing with her roommate Sarah first (forgetting she had a b/f) and she was telling Anna that I was a great dancer and Anna wanted to dance with me too, and got her turn. Soon after Anna and Sarah dance with me at the same time. But this is besides the point....we had a great time at the party and it was getting late so i was about to head out and i said bye to them but Anna and Sarah didn't want me to leave (partially maybe because they had too much to drink) and so i offered i'd take them back to campus, and the host offered them to stay over, but they left with me instead. On the ride back ( i wasn't driving for the record) Anna was kissing my cheek a lot and hugging me, cuddling/napping on my shoulder...and when we were walking back to her dorm we ended up holding hands but right before we got there she let go and goes "i'm so sorry!" and i was confused and asked "why are you sorry?" and she didn't answer. Last week Anna and I kept bumping into each other and her response was kind of "sad/stressed out" wasn't sure maybe she was stressed out with school. :-/ I'm starting to like her more, but i don't know what to do. She just broke up with her b/f 2 months ago who was a jerk to her by being controlling, jealous when she's around other guys, being 2 hours late all the time, and fighting with her for no reason making her cry and her parents didn't like that (We had a conversation about her past relationship because the same time they broke up, I came out of a relationship too which was a coincidence) This week I've been really sick, and I met with my friends (who are a couple) i'm kinda like the 3rd wheel, and she was walking to dinner too..and i asked if she wanted to join us and she was really excited to. But I don't eat in the dining hall because I can't afford it so my friends usually do it for me, but Anna brought me food, tea with honey, and water to drink first because the tea was too hot. I thought it was really nice and really was moved but i was scared to show it. advice/comments/insights? help please?

Ted Stevens was convicted of FELONIES, and he's still holding on to his Senate seat??? Between that and Sarah Palin, I'm seriously beginning to wonder what the hell is in the water in Alaska.

You'll notice here, in the Elections section, as well as all over the blogosphere and other media outlets, that far-right Republicans are very vocal. I won't go into too much detail, as we all know what I'm talking about, but since I'm posting here.. I'll use that as an example. Ask a question about Obama and you will have at least a dozen replies containing words like "socialist," "kool aid," and "terrorist." All such replies will have many, many more thumbs ups than thumbs downs. On the other hand, post anything positive about Obama or suggest that Sarah Palin can't turn water into wine.. and whoops, thumbs down for you. They talk quite a bit. They spout hate and nonsensical stories and pat each other on the back for doing it. Yet, look at the Obama win. It wasn't a close win. It wasn't a "late night" like the aforementioned folks promised it would be. It was a blowout. Americans overwhelmingly rejected the far-right wingers. Has the "silent majority" become the vocal minority? I'm reminded of the loud bigots you run into who start to make claims on behalf of everyone they think is with them. They'll start to spout hate, using nouns like "we," while - unbeknownst to them - everyone behind them quietly takes a few steps back to disassociate themselves. Is that what happened here?

I'm an American and I know that I can't stand her. But I'm a liberal. I know a lot of conservatives think she walks on water. I was just wondering what an outside opinion of her is, if you have one at all. I'm asking people from other countries because I'm curious about their opinions. I do recognize that there are more countries in this world beyond the United States and I wonder what they think. So I suggest that if you don't like my question then stay off it Jack asses.

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. (AP) – Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is looking toward her political future even as her political present has yet to be decided...... ....Palin spoke after touring Xunlight Corp., one of a handful of solar technology startup companies in Toledo, a struggling industrial city in northern Ohio. City leaders are hoping the solar companies will create jobs to replace some of those lost by auto-industry downsizing. But she made only a passing reference to solar power in her speech and instead renewed her call for more drilling in U.S. coastal waters. She repeated her signature anthem, "Drill, baby, drill," which seemed to fall a bit flat on the audience even as it's become a popular chant at her rallies. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081030/ap_on_el_pr/palin

Hello Sarah Jane, I'm in Cancun and its really an amazing place. The waters of the bay are calm and perfect for sailing, surfing, and underwater diving. Yesterday I swam with dolphins. I also went to see Ruinas El Ray. At night I have lots of fun. I went to Coco Bongo a really cool disco and danced all night. I am taking a boat to Cozumel tomorrow, I already planned my trip. I will spend most of my time in Cozumel diving in Chankanaab Park and exploring Punta Sur Ecological Reserve. Even though these places are amazing I still miss home. See you soon, Anna

Cnn went to Alaska and tested this and the only place you can see Russia from in Alaska is some little town with 3,000 people that she has never been to. Also, when you get to the area all you see is a river of water and a small mountain. You don't see anything of any importance. So what's the deal?

Previously on Survivor: Brian won the reward of an advantage at the next Immunity Challenge. He chose to keep it for himself. Day 30: The castaways head to the next Immunity Challenge. The challenge has everyone hanging from a bar suspended over the water. Brian’s advantage is that there will be a platform under his bar for him to stand on while holding the bar up. The problem is that if he brings his bar down too far the platform will release from under him and he will be left hanging like the others. Go! Though Kevin is usually good at challenges, his heavy body makes this one hard for him. He is the first to drop. Carl goes down next. It has been 5 minutes. Sherry drops. Sarah, Samantha, Brian, and Maggie are left. 8 minutes have passed when Sarah and Sam fall around the same time. 10 minutes go by. Maggie is struggling a lot. She knows that she needs this win though. Brian is overconfident as usual. After 12 minutes he accidentally brings the bar down too far. The platform drops but he tightens his grip fast enough to keep holding on. Maggie now knows that she can win this if she can try hard enough. 20 minutes have passed. Both castaways are barely holding on. Oh, oh! SPLASH! It is…Brian! Maggie wins Immunity for the 2nd time in a row! Back at camp a sudden paranoia overwhelms the group. Both groups suddenly need Maggie. “They need me now. They are stupid people. Let me say that again. Stupid Zevre members, stupid, stupid people.” she says. At Tribal Council, Jeff brings the harsh reality into play: “After 1 month in Cape Verde, one of you will be voted out tonight.” Who will be 10th person voted out and the 3rd member of the Jury: Samantha, Sarah, Brian, Kevin, Sherry, or Carl?

I keep thinking that the REAL Republican Vice-Presidential candidate is really wrestling with terrorists in the bottom of an airplane, and they desperately are trying to be freed. And then I wake up, and I see Palin on the news. My eyes begin to water, my stomach tightens, and begin to feel like I want to throw up. Has this all been a bad dream?

broke but she waited until the conference was over before flying back to Alaska to go to a hospital there in Alaska? If this is true - wasn't the baby in any danger?

I have a baby bearded dragon, at the moment he cant walk well as his front legs get caught on everything, also his mouth is open all the time, and now when he drinks water (which i have to make him do or he does not drink at all) he looks like he is heaving and then all the water comes back up and its like he is being sick on water. i then cant touch him after because he just heaves. and also his throat looks like its fall of water aswell if someone can let me know asap it would be really great. thanks, sarah. picture of his thoat avalible and also a video of him trying to walk

"I know how western states are growing with dynamic strength. Senator Obama does not understand these issues." I beg to differ McCain, go put your head in the sand. The hole in your head is growing and it is killing you, we will not allow you to stick us with that sick piece of mud sarah palin, it just ain't happenin'. If you agree with me - the answer is NO. If you disagree with me - the answer is YES. Tell us why you answered the way you did, don't leave us hanging.

Is there a hole in the hull of the good ship McCain? They are letting on water fast. Charles Fried, a professor at Harvard Law School, has long been one of the most important conservative thinkers in the United States. Under President Reagan, he served, with great distinction, as Solicitor General of the United States. Since then, he has been prominently associated with several Republican leaders and candidates, most recently John McCain, for whom he expressed his enthusiastic support in January. This week, Fried announced that he has voted for Obama-Biden by absentee ballot. In his letter to Trevor Potter, the General Counsel to the McCain-Palin campaign, he asked that his name be removed from the several campaign-related committees on which he serves. In that letter, he said that chief among the reasons for his decision "is the choice of Sarah Palin at a time of deep national crisis." http://blogs.tnr.com/tnr/blogs/the_plank/archive/2008/10/24/reagan-appointee-and-recent-mccain-adviser-charles-fried-supports-obama.aspx What does this say about McCain, his campaign, and his laughable selectionof Palin for VP?

Sarah Palin was invited to meet with the Pope while both were vacationing in Venice. The liberal press reluctantly watched the semi-private audience, hoping they will be able to allot minimal coverage, if any. The Pope asks Governor Palin to join him on a Gondola ride through the canals of Venice. They're admiring the sights and agreeing on moral issues when, all of a sudden, the Pope's hat (zucchetto) blows off his head and out into the water. The gondolier starts to reach for the Pontiff's cap with his pole, but this move threatens to overturn the floating craft. Sarah waves the tour guide off, saying, 'Wait, wait. I'll take care of this. Don't worry.' She steps off the gondola onto the surface of the water and walks out to the Pope's hat, bends over and picks it up. She walks back across the water to the gondola and steps aboard. She hands the hat to the Pope amid stunned silence. The next morning the topic of conversation among Democrats in Congress, CBS News, NBC News, ABC News, PBS, CNN, the New York Times, MSNBC, Hollywood celebrities, and most of the people in France and Germany is: 'Palin Can't Swim.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Come on people she walked on water and all the media wanted to write was something negative so they said she couldn't swim.

I'm talking pre-election. During the 1988 presidential campaign. Once Bush was in office, yeah, I've still got a copy of the Quayle Quarterly, somewhere; but Quayle was never "vetted," never persecuted in the way Palin is being dogged on the campaign trail, now. He *was* called into question for draft-dodging the official, legally acceptable way (exercising his family's power), but as someone who was a voting adult in 1988, I don't remember any barrage of baseless attacks towards Quayle like what's being lobbed at Palin, now. And Quayle's ticket, like the Obama/Biden ticket was the popular, winning ticket. Nevermind how Trooper-gate pales in comparison to Quayle's National Guard "service." For those too young to remember some of Quayle's great quotes as vice president, as you cackle about how "unintellectual" Palin is (yet never questioning the irony that Clinton is too intellectual) try this one on: When he addressed the United Negro College Fund, whose slogan is "A mind is a terrible thing to waste," Quayle said: ". . . you take the United Negro college fund model that what a waste it is to lose one's mind or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is." or this one: The Chicago Tribune and other publications were quick to recycle Quayle's November 18, 1989, astronomical observation: "Mars is essentially in the same orbit . . . somewhat the same distance from the sun, which is very important. We have seen pictures where there are canals, we believe, and water. If there is water, that means there is oxygen. Oxygen, that means we can breathe." ...and that's just the most widely publicized quotes. He made press statements about how helium explodes, there was the issue of his ignorance of the spelling of "potato." Dan Quayle was a blithering idiot who only had a high school diploma, let alone his college degree, for the same reason he was able to get a part-time desk job as "service" during the Vietnam War: his family had money and power. It completely blows me away that anyone would attempt to challenge Sarah Palin's credentials--most especially people like Colin Powell, who voted for that Bush/Quayle ticket--when we've seen the likes of Dan Quayle blubber through 4 disastrous, if sometimes hilarious, years. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Quayle Palin has certain issues of creed with which I don't agree, but she's at least as qualified as Harry Truman, and I believe that man completely, effectively, and successfully filled the shoes of president, in spite of being intentionally kept in the dark about global politics up till the point he was sworn into office. I believe the only people who don't believe Truman was a great president are those too young to have had significant input from people who were adults during his presidency. Like Harry Truman, Palin doesn't pretend to be something she isn't, and the woman can lead. We just have to keep her from ever becoming a Supreme Court justice. It blows me away how many "progressive" people seem completely blind, oblivious, to all the sexist, woman-bashing that's at the heart of all this Palin chatter. Yeah, sure, "Ellen" can cling to Barack's promise of things like legal gay marriage, but the truth of the matter is, if Barack is pressured by certain influential political groups, he'll vote it down in a heartbeat, the same way this past June HE VOTED IN SUPPORT OF BUSH's FISA crap on HR 6304, after promising he'd vote against it; the same way he claimed he could no more disown Wright than his white grandmother, and a few weeks later not only renounced him, but formally withdrew his membership from the church he'd belonged to 20+ years. ...suddenly, thinking of the Bush/Quayle ticket of 1988, and knowing that Colin Powell definitely voted to have that man, Dan Quayle, one step away from being president, what ***does*** his endorsement say about the Obama/Biden ticket????

This is standard in any election...as is press conferences and talking with reporters. Same with going on Sunday talk shows such as Meet The Press. We all know why... she makes polls drop whenever she speaks to any interviewer. But the medical records issue is a real puzzler. She's obviously healthy...it appears. There were, though, pictures taken of her a month or so before her childs birth. There was no indication in her appearance, that she was pregnant. also, she left Texas when her 'water broke' Isn't it dangerous to fly, what, 1700 miles in that condition? Maybe a woman could answer that one...I don't know But it all seems suspicious. What is she hiding if she's healthy and did have that baby?

Sarah and Jack are lying dead on the floor..surrounding them on the floor is a pool of water and broken glass. The windows are open and the curtains are blowing in the wind.. what happened? i know the answer but do you? XD

Previously on Survivor: Kevin won Reward and the chance to give everyone in except one person a letter from home. He chose to leave Maggie out. Day 27: Gorvre goes to their next Immunity Challenge. In this challenge, everyone will go underwater and hold their breath. The last 2 still under will move on to the final round to play for Immunity. Go! Everyone is under water. Sherry is the 1st to surface. Carl is up next. After Carl, Samantha comes up. Next is Evan. Maggie, Sarah, Brian, and Kevin are still under. Maggie’s face turns purple and veins in her neck start to bulge. Bubbles shoot up…Brian is out. Maggie’s chest is heaving and her eyes are bloodshot. Sarah surfaces and Maggie comes up after her gasping. Maggie and Kevin move on to the final round. In this round, the two players must carry a 50 pound weight currently submerged, to shore and over the finish line. Go! Kevin starts out in the lead. His brute strength puts him at a vast advantage. Maggie quickly falls behind. Alas! Kevin missteps and his foot lands on a shard of coral. Blood fills the water. Kevin surfaces and yells out. Maggie makes a comeback. Kevin realizes this and heads back under. The water is red and he can’t see well. It takes him a little bit to find the weight. By this time Maggie is on land. She nears the finish. Kevin approaches ready to take the lead back. However, it’s too late. Maggie wins Immunity! Back at camp, Sarah, Sam, and Brian meet. They don’t know whether to go after Evan or Kevin. Kevin, Carl, and Sherry still have their sights set on Evan’s elimination. Evan and Maggie meet. They discus a few things but are unsure of what do to. Now for your part: Who will be the 9th person voted out and the 2nd member of the Jury: Carl, Sherry, Kevin, Evan, Sarah, Samantha, or Brian?

it's my english media GCSE coursework. any suggestions how to improve? these are only the first few paragraphs. The action-thriller film ‘The Prestige’, which was made in 2006, was produced by three different people; William Tyler, Aaron Ryder and Emma Thomas. The film, which was directed by Christopher Nolan, stars actors such as Hugh Jackman as Angier, Christian Bale as Borden, Scarlett Johansson as Olivia, and Michael Cane as Cutter. The film’s main plot consists of two cunning magicians, both trying to master the complex ‘Transported Man’ trick. Both will do anything to accomplish the trick. Angier clones himself every night, and then drowns the clone in a tank full of water, whereas Borden has a secret identical twin, masked as his assistant ‘Fallon’. Both then take it in turns to be Boren and Fallon. Neither magician discovers the others secret until the very climax of the film, where a dying Boren tells Angier his secret. In this essay I will talk about what clues there are to us in the film that Borden has twin and Angier is cloning himself, as we do not find out until the end either. One clue which is significant in telling the audience that Boren is an identical twin is when Borden is demonstrating Sarah and her a nephew a magic trick in which he appears to make a bird and cage disappear into thin air, but Sarah’s nephew understands what is happening, and exclaims “you killed it!” and cries. Then, Borden produces a perfectly alive and intact bird, to try and prove to the child that he didn’t harm it. The boy then says “That’s not him. Where’s his brother?”. This shakes Borden slightly, as he thinks the child may have inadvertently discovered his secret. This clue is masked by Borden by him acting as though it hasn’t affected him, and he carries on as he would normally do, but at the end of the film we discover that Borden is masking his nervousness. An essential clue in helping the audience realise that Angier is cloning himself is when, near the beginning of the film, we see a black cat being placed into a ‘teleport’ machine which Angier is paying John Cutter (played by Michael Caine) to construct for him. Cutter then test the machine by turning it on and, to Angier’s disappointment, it appears that nothing has happened. However, the cat then runs out of the building, and Angier exits as well, only to see two identical cats sitting outside fighting. This shows us that the machine is, in fact, a cloning machine, but we think nothing of it, because Angier appears to be irritated with Cutter for building a machine that doesn’t seem to work, though at the end we discover that Angier’s machine that ‘doesn’t work’ does indeed work perfectly, just as a cloning machine.

16 years ago a woman and a merman had a daughter. Then the father and mother of the baby both die and the baby goes to live with her mother's sister and husband. So this 1/2 mermaid is 16 and has the appearance of just a normal teenager. She lives a normal life with the exception that if she gets in contact with water she turns into a mermaid, complete with tail and gills. So she tries to avoid water and still live her life. But then this surfer moves to town and she falls in love and tries to keep her secret from him. She also has to put up with the cliche stuff like school, homework, teachers, parties, friends, mean girls, popularity. Do you think this sounds good or not? I know I didnt explain it very good. But I need your opinion on my character names Girl- Raine Surfer- Ace Mother- Anna Father- Nevell Aunt- Sarah Uncle- Bob Other Characters: Claire Dakota Jemma Grace Faith Tanner Colby Jovial

i found a intact male Chihuahua (mix maybe,not sure)...i already posted ads on a few sites. but he is really skinny i can feel his spine very good and his hip points are starting to show, he has a great temperament, and got along with my Pit Bulls great. anyways i was thinking what if he just got lost today, that would mean his owners were not taking care of him, and i wouldnt want him to have to go back there... but im not sure, should i give it a few days and then maybe try to find him a new home? i dont really want to take him to a shelter, and i cant keep him (although im already attached). If i were to find him a good home, would i be able to make a neuter contract? or is there any where i could take him and have him neutered? i dont have the money to get it done or else i would..also i've noticed that both his eyes are watering, what could this be? i have no clue how long he was lost for, all i know is it has been raining these last few days, and he smelled like he's been playing in trash or something very odd smell to him, i did give him a bath.any help much appreciated. heres a few pics of him...does he look purebred or what could he be mixed with, either way he is cute as hell he had no collar or tags, i put this collar on him http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm19/sarah_md_ks/?action=view¤t=dog050.jpg http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm19/sarah_md_ks/?action=view¤t=dog049.jpg already spoiled : http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm19/sarah_md_ks/?action=view¤t=paco005.jpg http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm19/sarah_md_ks/?action=view¤t=paco001.jpg on a lighter note, i get to bring my new Pit Bull home tomorrow YAY!!! Ace: http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm19/sarah_md_ks/?action=view¤t=Ace.jpg yea i noticed i didnt take the best pictures, but believe me he is to skinny...a gave him a handful of my dogs food, and he ate in like 5 seconds, he even started to choke because he ate so fast, not that that proves he's underweight but i can tell he is. yea i already posted a few ads on him, so i am trying to look for them, i actually just got an email saying their Chihuahua has been missing for a couple weeks, so that could be why he is so skinny, she is supposed to be sending pics now, ill keep you all updated. if not good idea on the adoption fee covering the neuter, i didnt even think about that. thanks lilronell, me and my dad painted it, its still not done yet though. cstw, you obviously cant read because if you could you would have noticed that i said IVE POSTED ADS ALREADY. DUMBA**.... read before answering. if a dog has balls then he's not neutered...a little science for ya....and common sense, which you lack. umm no i wasnt assuming that the dog wasnt cared for, i said either he has been lost for a while... or if he did just get out today, then yes maybe he wasnt being well taken care of... a dog doesnt go from normal body weight to ribs showing in one day. thanks asaiza, i agree with you...at least some common sense and reading ability exists.

I'm more like a "Bottled Water Beyonce" My husband is like a "Red Wine Richard" In Sarah Palin's view, we are not included in the considerations of main stream America. Who are you?

Sarah Palin unlawfully abused her power as governor by trying to have her former brother-in-law fired as a state trooper, the chief investigator of an Alaska legislative panel concluded Friday. The politically charged inquiry imperiled her reputation as a reformer on John McCain’s Republican ticket. Investigator Stephen Branchflower, in a report by a bipartisan panel that investigated the matter, found Palin in violation of a state ethics law that prohibits public officials from using their office for personal gain. The inquiry looked into her dismissal of Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan, who said he lost his job because he resisted pressure to fire a state trooper involved in a bitter divorce with the governor’s sister. Palin says Monegan was fired as part of a legitimate budget dispute. The report found that Palin let the family grudge influence her decision-making even if it was not the sole reason Monegan was dismissed. “I feel vindicated,” Monegan said. “It sounds like they’ve validated my belief and opinions. And that tells me I’m not totally out in left field.” Branchflower said Palin violated a statute of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act. “I disagree,” said Palin attorney Thomas Van Flein. “In order to violate the ethics law, there has to be some personal gain, usually financial. Mr. Branchflower has failed to identify any financial gain.” The statute says “any effort to benefit a personal or financial interest through official action is a violation of that (public) trust.” Palin and McCain’s supporters had hoped the inquiry’s finding would be delayed until after the presidential election to spare her any embarrassment and to put aside an enduring distraction as she campaigns as McCain’s running mate in an uphill contest against Democrat Barack Obama. But the panel of lawmakers voted to release the report, although not without dissension. There was no immediate vote on whether to endorse its findings. “I think there are some problems in this report,” said Republican state Sen. Gary Stevens, a member of the panel. “I would encourage people to be very cautious, to look at this with a jaundiced eye.” The nearly 300-page report does not recommend sanctions or a criminal investigation. The investigation revealed that Palin’s husband, Todd, has extraordinary access to the governor’s office and her closest advisers. He used that access to try to get trooper Mike Wooten fired, the report found. Branchflower faulted Sarah Palin for taking no action to stop that. He also noted there is evidence the governor herself participated in the effort. Wooten had been in hot water before Palin became governor over allegations that he illegally shot a moose, drank beer in a patrol car and used a Taser on his stepson. In proceedings revealed by the report, former Alaska State Trooper Col. Julia Grimes told investigators that Sarah Palin called her in late 2005 to discuss why Wooten hadn’t been fired, and Grimes told her the inquiry was confidential by law. “Her questions were how can a trooper who behaves this plagiarism who cares this is a question not a research paper for school its not going to be graded so your point is

alot of people are saying that sarah palin's baby, trig, is not really her's. that in actuality he belongs to her oldest daughter, bristol. i did some checking and earlier photos of her during the time she was supposed to be pregnant with trig seem to offer some validity to this theory.then there is the fact that bristol was removed from school for 5 mos. claiming she had a case of "mono". and lastly, when mrs. palin's water broke, she left an event in dallas to fly all the way back to wasilla for the birth. she didn't arrive at the hospital for a full 22 hrs. after her water broke. i don't know what species of anything on earth can do that, but all this info that is coming to light is definitely bringing some validity to this "theory". so what do you think? no cynicism please. thanks for your opinions on this matter.

Twilight It was just an ordinary day for a sleepover. The sun was bright, the sky was blue and the day itself seemed cheerful. It was just me, Gabbi, Gabby, Elisa and Sarah at Sarah's sleepover. We didn't think we would make any new friends that day, but we were wrong. The beginning went by as usual. Water fights, truth or dare and balloon fights filled our day until we decided to go onto the trampoline. That's when we saw something black run across Sarah's lawn and up a tree. It was quickly followed by something orange, but the orange blur didn't follow it up the tree. At the top of the tree was a black cat staring straight down at us. Near the bottom with us, was Sarah's cat Mango looking right at us. Moving Mango away from the tree we tried to coax the poor cat down from the tree. Sarah grabbed it when it was in reach and put it on the ground. Mango chased the black cat up the tree a few more times until we took a hold of the black cat and got it away from Mango. We decided to name the cat Twilight because she was a charcoal black with bright yellow eyes. She would watch us on the trampoline and would even jump up and purr at us. Sometimes she would even go under the trampoline and stare up at us with her neon yellow eyes. She was a sweet and innocent cat. But night approached and we all had to go inside Sarah's camper for the night. We watched a movie and talked quite a bit. Though, when Elisa had fallen asleep Gabby, Gabbi, Sarah and I were still not tired. We decided to go out onto the trampoline in the middle of the night. We ran out of the camper laughing and whispering until we got onto the trampoline. Not long after we had started jumping, we heard something jump onto the trampoline with us. Looking around to see what had jumped up, we saw a pair of bright yellow eyes in the dark. Screaming we backed away from the eyes until we heard a soft meow and saw Twilight emerge from the shadows. We went up to Twilight and started laughing about how paranoid we had been. We eventually went back into the camper and fell asleep. The next day, we all had to pack up our stuff and get picked up to go home. Twilight had ran off in the bushes that morning, and Sarah's stepmom said it was best that he didn't hang around and start to think that this was his home. Sarah later found out that his family had been on vacation and she returned her back to her family. (Thank-you so much if you help me out)
