Working in the City period, many would like to leave it behind for the night.... Now dealing with the current issues at hand afflicting the PPD, there is a cry for more Police Officers! A lot more!
HIRE MORE POLICE OFFICERS! Let them live where they want! These men and women work hard to provide for their Families for protecting ours! I know some Philadelphia Police Officers who would LOVE to live in the suburbs! God knows how many times they have asked over the years- Give them more help!
It is now time to put this issue to bed and let them live within a reasonable distance from the City- Look! Bensalem to Philadelphia is a 8 minute shot down I 95! How hard is that to change regulations in becoming an officer? You will get more in return of you give just give them what they deserve.....
Psssst.... And let the State Police patrol the Major highways- Gives the locals more time helping and assisting in their neighborhoods that they are assigned to :D
Do you think that assult rifles should be legal? These guns should only be in the hands of the Military and the Police- That's it! Why is this a constant question? That these weapons of destruction should be available to any civillian?
Why is the race card always being used? Because it can and the card is in play- This card will always remain in play, in any race- It has nothing to do with being "Black" so let's get that straight from the door, before leaping in...
Why can't the Police do more? Because they are not given enough resources to protect and serve or do the job they love! Blame the greedy sob's in office- Why pay taxes when it's only going in the "fat Cat's" pocket? it's not going to the police? Or to the most vital areas of the City that can most definately benefit, like say, hiring more Police Officers?
Sure! I breastfed for 45 months- It was so beneficial and look what I just read....
WASHINGTON (May 6) - A new study provides some of the best evidence to date that breast-feeding can make children smarter, an international team of researchers said on Monday.
Children whose mothers breast-fed them longer and did not mix in baby formula scored higher on intelligence tests, the researchers in Canada and Belarus reported.
About half the 14,000 babies were randomly assigned to a group in which prolonged and exclusive breast-feeding by the mother was encouraged at Belarussian hospitals and clinics. The mothers of the other babies received no special encouragement.
Those in the breast-feeding encouragement group were, on average, breast-fed longer than the others and were less likely to have been given formula in a bottle.
At 3 months, 73 percent of the babies in the breast-feeding encouragement group were breast-fed, compared to 60 percent of the other group. At 6 months, it was 50 percent versus 36 percent.
In addition, the group given encouragement was far more likely to give their children only breast milk. The rate was seven times higher, for example, at 3 months.
The children were monitored for about 6 1/2 years.
The children in the group where breast-feeding was encouraged scored about 5 percent higher in IQ tests and did better academically, the researchers found.
Previous studies had indicated brain development and intelligence benefits for breast-fed children.
But researchers have sought to determine whether it was the breast-feeding that did it, or that mothers who prefer to breast-feed their babies may differ from those who do not.
The design of the study -- randomly assigning babies to two groups regardless of the mothers' characteristics -- was intended to eliminate the confusion.
'MOTHERS WHO BREAST-FEED ... ARE DIFFERENT'
"Mothers who breast-feed or those who breast-feed longer or most exclusively are different from the mothers who don't," Dr. Michael Kramer of McGill University in Montreal and the Montreal Children's Hospital said in a telephone interview.
"They tend to be smarter. They tend to be more invested in their babies. They tend to interact with them more closely. They may be the kind of mothers who read to their kids more, who spend more time with their kids, who play with them more," added Kramer, who led the study published in the journal Archives of General Psychiatry.
The researchers measured the differences between the two groups using IQ tests administered by the children's pediatricians and by ratings by their teachers of their school performance in reading, writing, math and other subjects.
Both sets of scores were significantly higher in the children from the breast-feeding promotion group.
The study was launched in the mid-1990s. Kramer said the initial idea was to do it in the United States and Canada, but many hospitals in those countries by that time had begun strongly encouraging breast-feeding as a matter of routine.
The situation was different in Belarus at the time, he said, with less routine encouragement for the practice.
Kramer said how breast-feeding may make children more intelligent is unclear.
"It could even be that because breast-feeding takes longer, the mother is interacting more with the baby, talking with the baby, soothing the baby," he said. "It could be an emotional thing. It could be a physical thing. Or it could be a hormone or something else in the milk that's absorbed by the baby."
Previous studies have shown babies whose mothers breast-fed them enjoy many health advantages over formula-fed babies.
These include fewer ear, stomach or intestinal infections, digestive problems, skin diseases and allergies, and less risk of developing high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that women who do not have health problems exclusively breast-feed their infants for at least the first six months, with it continuing at least through the first year as other foods are introduced.
I am pissed! Pissed off at all the moaning and crying about what goes on in Philadelphia! Actions speak louder than words people! Doesn't anyone get that yet? Talking about gun gun control, our officers being shot and killed- Children being caught in the cross fire of a gun fight because of drugs or whatever- A Joke to say otherwise- Well let's see- Who are the shooters? KIDS!
Do they think that they have to be tough like thugs because it's their lifestyle? Their music sure reflects it! Many songs consist of abusing women, killing cops, doing drugs- The kids hear this and think it's actually okay- And again, let's blame this bleep on the parents- Probably getting to high to know where their kids are anyway! And if not, where are you? Do you know where your kids are? NO! You don't and that makes you the cause!
ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS AND THERE ARE NO EXCUSES! TAKE IT FOR WHAT YOU WANT!
The bread here STINKS! Nothing like Gino's or Pat's- Heck, I will take any sandwich that comes from philly these days- I found a place that delivers the meat and the rolls for out of staters like me- I am going to try them-

Rubber found in a hotdog! Okay, I know that is gross but do we really know what we are eating when we are looking for a quick meal? Anyone who has had children knows that there is going to be a night where mommy or daddy does not feel like cooking. So mommy or daddy finds an easy dish or decides on take out. There is nothing like biting into a peice of chicken to find pink meat- (KFC) Hearing that McDonalds is now using "real chicken" ... If you think that your eating real chicken, think again. If you think your eating real beef, think again. If you knew how these meats were prepared, you would never eat fast foods again. Put it this way... It would be beneath your best pals choice in food. FIDO!
Stick with your local pizzaria. It's worth 20 minutes.
Watch out folks if you have not encountered the tummy bug- Throwing up is pretty violent and it lasts about 14-18 hours- May have fever and chills- You feel like total and utter crap but it goes away fast but BEWARE! It hits fast and it's highly contageous and all you can do is ride it out!
There were a number of cars broken into, in Village Green, located on Hulmeville Rd.
There were some valuables in these cars but they were not taken
Insurance Information was also spread out on the front seat
