A quick afternoon update. . .
1) The Phils play their first game of the spring tomorrow, when they will host Florida State in an exhibition at Bright House Field.
2) The only two regulars who will not start the game are Jimmy Rollins, who has been excused to attend the Motown tribute at the White House, and Chase Utley, who Charlie Manuel says is suffering from some body soreness due to his intense training thus far.
3) Pete Orr will start in place of Utley at second base. Wilson Valdez will start in place of Rollins at short stop.
4) I didn't get a chance to catch Cole Hamels live batting practice session today, but everybody I've talked to said he put on a show. Manuel's eyes lit up when I asked him what his gut feeling was about Hamels this season. Hamels shattered a few bats today, including those belonging to Valdez and non-roster invitee Brandon Moss.
5) Speaking of Valdez, he's agreed to terms on a contract for 2011. It's pretty much a procedural thing. I don't have the terms.
6) Drew Naylor is scheduled to start tomorrow against FSU. Cole Hamels is scheduled to start Saturday in the Grapefruit League opener against the Yankees (it is on the road in Tampa). Hamels will be opposed by Bartolo Colon. On Sunday, Joe Blanton will face Ivan Nova in Clearwater.

The Nieman Foundation houses a dynamic set of initiatives to promote and elevate the standards of journalism and educate and support those poised to make important contributions to its future. We do this through our fellowship programs; our publications, online and in-print; and programming that convenes some of the leading thinkers of our time.
Nieman began as a fellowship for select journalists to spend an academic year at Harvard in pursuit of individual study plans to strengthen their knowledge and leadership skills. That program recently celebrated its 75th anniversary; more than 1,400 journalists from nearly 100 countries have been awarded Nieman fellowships since 1938. Recently we added a short-term visiting fellowship for individuals with a specific project to enhance journalism who would like to spend up to 12 weeks at Harvard advancing their idea. Visiting fellows have included digital innovators, technologists, academics, and journalists from the U.S. and abroad.
For both groups of fellows, Harvard and Nieman offer the rare gift of time to think, learn, plan and create in a rigorous academic environment. Following their work on campus, our fellows have gone on to assume senior leadership positions in newsrooms, produce groundbreaking journalism in every medium, launch entrepreneurial projects, and win the industry’s top honors.
Nieman is the only fellowship program that also houses an array of publishing and convening initiatives focused on journalism. These include:
- Nieman Lab, an online reporting enterprise focused on the future of news and innovation. Nieman Lab has a staff of reporters writing daily about the most significant developments in journalism and has become a leading source of news about digital media for an international audience;
- Nieman Reports, a website and print quarterly that explores contemporary journalism’s most important challenges and provides a forum for the industry’s leading voices on issues of ethics, values, innovation and more. It also serves as a town square for Nieman’s global alumni network;
- Nieman Storyboard, a website that showcases exceptional narrative journalism and the art and craft of reported storytelling. Storyboard has become an important gathering place for the top practitioners of narrative journalism to talk about what works and why.
In addition, Harvard’s beautiful Lippmann House, where Nieman is located, is the convening center every year for dozens of seminars, master classes, conferences and awards ceremonies. These bring together not only our fellows but the broadest-possible array of those practicing, celebrating, challenging and advancing journalism.

Oh, the guy that said that is a dork! For our purposes, we will call him Francis. "His name is Francis." "His name is Francis." I mean come on, how hard is it to recall the appropriate slang and use it correctly? Perhaps when they teach ebonics, they should educate every white boy that is trying to be cool. Fo' rizzle Malibu!
So the saying should read, "here's the low-down."
I haven't posted in a few days, perhaps I am a slacker, possible. Perhaps, I want to keep all info to myself, naaa. Perhaps, I just had better things to do. Ya might ask what is better than posting a blog? Well, reading blogs is fun. Watching sports and eating wings is super fun!
Actually, I am pretty busy! I do have a real job, kinda! I do have a family which is important to me (more than this blog). I do train a few clients here and there (not as much as I would like). I do watch football and eat wings and nachos! On top of all that, I am attending grad school. How crazy, it is pretty much a full time occupation in itself. Yikes--what a time management exercise this semester is turning out to be. Ok...done with the self pitty and rambling nonsense.
I did take the weekend off, partly on purpose, partly due to weather and partly due to back fatigue. I delayed my ride on Sat due to the nor'easter we experienced here at the beach. I accidenally got into some projects on Sunday then ate wings and nachos and watched football. Go Vikes! Most importantly, I nursed a back injury sustained from running on Friday. I had a feeling and it just kept getting worse. That is ok, I know what to do now days. Rest, swings, stretch hip flexors and Zhealth.
Pull ups 3x15
Evil wheel 3x5
Pull up 16K 5x3
hang leg raise 5x5
My super duper training plan may have to change. I may need to prepare for a strength course with Pavel in December. So I may change some of the emphasis of the program a little to ensure I am ready. Read: add push ups and pistols.

“…what Alison Redford taketh away….. Alison Redford giveth back?”
Well… you might say… here we go again.
Since the 2012 election, I have been somewhat of a political agnostic. My experience helping build the Alberta Party into a new moderate option for Albertans was an experience I would never give back, yet one that opened my eyes to the difficulties and challenges of partisan politics.
Let’s not go into the story on why it didn’t find greater success, as it would take a book to do it justice; but I can summarize pretty much where I feel the movement Peaked: Just prior to The selection of Alison Redford as PC Party leader. It made sense really. On paper, the Premier was the perfect blend of potential. Our first woman Premier, young, a human rights lawyer with international experience, and yet a reputation for sternness when needed.
But perhaps what Alison Redford taketh away….. Alison Redford giveth back?
After a couple years of an Alison Redford PC Government, it’s possible the conditions are emerging for the Alberta Party to be considered again as an option in the provincial political landscape? What are some of those things?
- The likelihood of a Wildrose government. Danielle Smith is leading the only real organized opposition to the government, and on many issues, is looking more like a Premier than the Premier. They are beating the PC’s at their own game, raising piles of money from a very broad base of support, and they have very much softened their policy positions. The Wildrose will not make the same mistakes the next election, they did the last one.
- The Alberta Liberals seem to be struggling with sustainability. Under the highly polarizing and some might say damaging ego leader Raj Sherman, it seems almost all large donors have left and so too much of the new blood needed to backfill this vacuum.
- The PC Government under Alison Redford has acted erratically on many huge issues, and less than ever, we really don’t know their vision. They have tried to be everything along the political spectrum, and seemingly are beating themselves in the process. Even some bright lights in the party (yes they are there), have been dulled by the overbearing control from a Madame Premier who calls all the shots. These are the last couple years:
- The PC’s have completely abandoned any sense of good fiscal governance. With consecutive multi-billion dollar deficits, the Premier ridiculously projects a policy that there can be no new taxes, there will be more savings, and all while unprecedented spending, amazingly outpacing our rapid population growth.
- The PC’s seems to have alienated much of their large urban base, with erratic stances on things like the Edmonton Arena District and University funding, the PC’s and Edmonton’s Mayor (and his supporters) have lost some love for each other. In Calgary, the erratic and knee-jerk Flood response zoning policy failed to consult the City and it’s very popular Mayor . Both Mayors were snubbed by the Premier’s office as she created it’s “Annual Economic Summit” to talk about the provinces future economy. Two very popular mayors, in two very centrist/PC towns. (Let’s be honest. Calgary and Edmonton and urban Alberta SAVED the party from a Wildrose onslaught in the last election).
- Major political crises, handled with knee-jerk reaction, abandoning most forms of good governance and their own politically appointed support base. The AHS Board debacle, and the recent disturbing pattern of interference with their own appointed post-secondary governance, and backtracking on “do-nothing committees“… and on and on.
- Beyond all the erratic governing, not surprisingly, the party is losing its once formidable machine. Donations and membership are waning; and what were once high-profile positions, local CA boards and the Provincial Board, has been filled with supporters that although surely well-intended and impressive in their own right, lack the big-name sparkle a governing party would want as beacons in the community. When I look around, there may still be loud support at the lower levels of the party, but among the high-profile and influential in each major community, the Party (or maybe better said the Premier) has lost many outspoken positive evangelists.
But… back to my point. The Alberta Party. What to do with this table scrap of the past election?
Firstly, I am happily surprised the experiment from 2009, 2010 and 2011 has somehow persisted. The retail support of the party has virtually disappeared, but as I revisited it over the last month, what I saw surprised me. Several new faces among their support and a fresh commitment to stay the course; build it responsibly, and maintain commitment for a fresh political palate. A new home for moderately minded political Albertans.
** Special shout-out to current Alberta Party President Will Munsey, who seems to personally embody almost every example of the Province. A rural farmer, who also works as a unionized train engineer; an entrepreneur who fits perfectly selling his fresh foods and plants to Urban local-food enthusiasts. Will holds a masters degree and has lived for two-decades abroad. He speaks fluent Japanese and knows a thing or two about the colourful language of hardworking Albertans as well. This man has been instrumental in holding the party up, even if just above the waterline, saving it from possibly drowning.
That said, the Alberta Party will not form the next government of Alberta and it would be a twice in a century story for them to form government in even two elections. But when I spent some time talking to each of the candidates currently running for leader of this boutique movement, I found a whole new extreme practicality. The two Calgary based candidates are similar in professional background, as computer and technology service consultants, yet they are also unique in their own approach. Yet again, as they are diverse, they also seem to typify the party in several ways. Fresh, young, new to the scene and VERY gosh-shucks idealistic.
So where am I going with this? Well I am asking myself once again, is it time to give the next chapter of this young book, another look? As I said, can the Alberta Party form the next Government, of course not. The real questions, which I WILL be asking at the only Edmonton leadership forum event, will be around how each of these men will lead the party over the next couple years to continue it’s growth?
How will they make it more sustainable, perhaps more applicable to all Albertans? When will Albertans understand the policy of the party in practical terms? How will that be developed? Finally, how will they afford to keep the lights on, or better said, how will the Party get better at the Business of Politics. Something it has prided itself on shunning… clearly a mistake if it wants to bridge itself to the mainstream.
So… I invite you to join me as I ask those tough questions of each candidate. On Wednesday September 4th, (The Facebook event link for more information) – Edmonton will have it’s only opportunity to meet the candidates, ask them some tough questions, before you decide if you want to buy a membership, which is required to vote in this race.
A race that by many will be considered irrelevant… unless you love the challenge and risk of building something new… and some of us Albertans certainly do.

Master P‘s looking out for the people of New Orleans who’ve been devastated by yet another hurricane … by sending them some clean water.
The business mogul — who hails from NOLA — was out in Beverly Hills Tuesday when we asked how he’s planning to help his city, and he says his water company, LA Great, is providing aid to those who’ve been impacted … especially the most vulnerable.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Master P tells us he’s also looking into other ways to send relief and make sure people are getting fed too, while asking everyone to send prayers and come together to help in any way they can.
Though New Orleans’ bolstered levees and floodgates held up against Hurricane Ida’s force to protect the city against the same type of destruction as Hurricane Katrina 16 years ago … the storm still left a million people without power and resulted in 4 deaths.
Master P says it’s going to take a while for NOLA to recover, but it’s clear he’s trying to expedite the process … and he’s confident the city will stay strong and loving in the face of another hardship.

Colon and Rectal Surgeons of Greater Hartford
Colon and Rectal Surgeons located in Bloomfield and South Windsor, CT
Though rectal and colon cancer have many similarities, treatments are different. Due to its location, surgical treatment for rectal cancer is complex, and other treatments are often needed to improve outcomes. The experienced team at Colon and Rectal Surgeons of Greater Hartford work with a multidisciplinary tumor board comprised of pathologists, radiologists, and medical and radiation oncologists to assist in managing your rectal cancer care. We also offer advanced minimally invasive surgical options for removing the cancerous tissue. To discuss your surgical options for rectal cancer, contact the office in Bloomfield, South Windsor, Enfield, or Plainville, Connecticut, by phone or book online today.
Rectal Cancer Q & A
What is rectal cancer?
Rectal cancer is a cancer that develops in the rectum, the last portion of your large intestines where your body stores stools before evacuation. Because of its location and proximity to other organs, treatment for rectal cancer is more complex than colon cancer.
You could be at risk of developing rectal cancer if it (or colon cancer) runs in your family, you have an inflammatory bowel disease, or you have a history of polyps. As you age, your risk of developing rectal cancer increases.
What are rectal cancer symptoms?
Rectal cancer doesn’t always cause symptoms and might only be found after a colon cancer screening. The American Cancer Society recommends adults start colorectal screenings at age 45 — sooner if you have colon cancer risk factors.
Rectal cancer’s most common symptoms are:
- Change in bowel habits (constipation or diarrhea)
- Narrow stool
- Blood in your stool
- Mucus in your stool
- Pelvic pain
- Unexplained weight loss
If you’re experiencing these symptoms, contact Colon and Rectal Surgeons of Greater Hartford to schedule an evaluation.
How is rectal cancer diagnosed?
The team at Colon and Rectal Surgeons of Greater Hartford diagnose rectal cancer during a colonoscopy. During this procedure, the colorectal specialists use a colonoscope, a thin tube with a light and camera, to evaluate the lining of your rectum and colon.
If your specialist finds any abnormal tissue, samples are taken and sent to the lab for evaluation. Your specialist also removes polyps from your rectum and colon during your colonoscopy. Though often benign, over time, polyps can turn into cancer.
How is rectal cancer treated?
The experts at Colon and Rectal Surgeons of Greater Hartford work with a multidisciplinary tumor board to determine the best treatment for your rectal cancer. Your treatment plan can include a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and/or radiation therapy.
The experts at Colon and Rectal Surgeons of Greater Hartford specialize in rectal cancer surgery and use advanced minimally invasive techniques, including:
- Robotic surgery
- Transanal excision
- Transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS)
- Advanced laparoscopy
- Transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME)
The type of surgery best suited for you will depend on the stage of your cancer, where it’s at, the size of your tumor, and your overall health.
For expert surgical management of your rectal cancer, contact Colon and Rectal Surgeons of Greater Hartford by phone or book an appointment online today.

Nutrition can be a tough business because everyone wants to make a dollar and sound nutrition is typically not the easiest or most tempting option. We love to opt for the "lose 10 pounds in 7 days juice clease" rather than commit to daily exercise. It is amazing the amount of junk available at the click of a button. Sometimes scientific and sound is not sexy. Other times, it is too hard and unrealistic, but I have been searching. I have been looking for sexy, sound products that make life easier to offer my readers. Abrea Nutrition is excited, ecstatic, and head over heals for this new company!!!!! It is everything I was looking for and some. Check back tomorrow for all the info.

I sense that most people are experiencing some fatigue these days. This is uncharted territory that we are in. I mean, who would have thought Tom Brady would choose the Bucs?
Ok, I meant the other thing.
I don’t want you to burn anymore brain calories reading this blog so I am going to list things I am doing to cope with this mess. I am sharing to spur on your imagination to consider what you can do to cope with this crisis.
- Overarching theme: This is a season. I am viewing it as such. This means I am giving myself grace and extending as much grace as I can to others.
- Overarching theme 2.0: Because this is a season, I am changing things rapidly to stay fresh. If something works today, but not tomorrow, change teams like Lebron James!
- Overarching theme 3.0: Just kidding, enough.
Here we go…
- I am exercising the same or more with more focus on flexibility and mobility.
- I am measuring the amount of coffee I am drinking at home so I don’t drink 2.5 pots. A Venti or less per day in my aim.
- Red wine with Sarah is just about mandatory. I am sorry Jenny Craig, but I am not measuring my wine. I will use common sense, however, and listen to my wife!
- I recommend listing to your spouse all the time, not just during a pandemic.
- I drink a minimum of two large Nalgene water bottles through the day – think I am type A?
- I nap during business hours. Ok, this is only my dream world. But, naps on weekends are mandatory. Wait a minute, nothing is mandatory per my themes above.
- I am journaling when I feel like it. My prompts are: What am I mad about, sad about, anxious about, glad about?
- I am eating a small piece of the darkest chocolate available after dinner. Savor it! This advised somewhere in the book of Leviticus. Really!
- I am limiting news.
- I am not feeling guilty the days I do not limit the news.
- Re-adjusting and limiting the next day. News fatigue makes me feel like I just shot 109 for 9 holes.
- I am listening to music and sports radio in the car (as opposed to audio books and podcasts).
- I am taking long bike rides when the weather allows.
- I am slowing down my reading. Less is more.
- I am going all Nancy Reagan on 95% of webinar invites (i.e. “just saying no.”)
- I am immediately deleting any email with the phrases like, “do you have 10 minutes to spare” or “can you direct me to the appropriate person that can…” This usually leads to some journaling about one of the questions listed above.
- I am writing notes of encouragement. You, the BIB reader, might get one. This has been awesome and life-giving.
- I am identifying exactly what I need to do in my calendar (less is more again). Next step is hugely important…
- I am leaving LARGE chunks of time open or unscheduled for whatever comes up regarding this crisis. Leaders must maintain margin right now.
- I walk our production floor every day I am physically at the office. This is life-giving.
- When someone comes to my mind work wise, I send them a note, text, or email.
- I have asked customers and friends these simple questions, “How are you doing? What can I be praying for?” “How is your family doing? Is there anything I can help you with?”
- I have carved out 5 minutes for silence and prayer prior to lunch each day.
- I am continuing in my morning Bible reading, prayer, and prayer time with Sarah in the evenings.
- I am driving home occasionally in silence.
- I am using noise cancelling headphones a lot at when working at home (3 kids!).
- I am talking with Sarah about our mutual schedules and expectations. We are communicating, not assuming.
- I am watching every second of “The Last Dance.”
- I am keeping T.V. habits to pre-pandemic levels.
- I am keeping social media habits to pre-pandemic levels (iPhone users: Go to SETTINGS, SCREEN TIME, APP LIMITS, and you can set your limit on any app on your phone. My Facebook, Instagram, Twitter is set to 13 minutes per day. I know that is a random figure. I started at 20 minutes and have been working down. I don’t feel guilty with 13 minutes while 33 minutes makes me feel like I shot 109 for 9 holes again.
- I intend to give myself more grace when I do play golf again…
- I am also allowing myself to mourn, be sad, and feel emotions during this.
- It is also okay to laugh when something is funny. You have my permission, not that you needed it.
I hope the lists above spurs ideas for healthy coping mechanisms.

Your kidneys filter waste and excess fluid from your blood, making urine. The urine then travels from the kidneys to the bladder through tubes called ureters. The bladder stores urine until you have the sensation to void. If your bladder is injured or diseased, you may not be able to urinate in the normal way.
A urinary diversion is a way to release urine from the body when you can’t urinate because the urinary system is damaged or not working. You will need a urinary diversion, for example, if your bladder has been removed to stop the spread of cancer, or if your bladder has nerve damage. Any problem in the bladder that blocks the flow of urine and causes it to accumulate in the ureters and kidneys may result in the need for a urinary diversion.
A urinary diversion may mean a urostomy, which requires a pouch to be worn outside the body, or a continent diversion, which involves the creation of a pouch or bladder inside the body, usually using part of the digestive tract.
The ileal conduit is made from a short segment of the small intestine. The ureters are attached to one end of the conduit. The other end is placed at the skin’s surface to create a stoma.
A surgeon creates a urostomy by redirecting your urine to an opening created in the abdomen. The opening is called a stoma. Two main types of urostomy are available.
- Ileal conduit. To create an ileal conduit, the surgeon takes a short segment of the small intestine and reconnects the remaining intestine so that it functions normally. One end of the removed short segment of intestine is placed at the skin surface to create the stoma. The ureters, which normally carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder, are then attached to the other end of the segment of intestine. The urine travels through the newly formed ileal conduit and the stoma into an external collecting pouch. The pouch has an outlet for releasing urine into a toilet without removing it from your stoma.
A stoma is an opening in the abdomen used for releasing urine from the body.
- Ureterostomy. Very rarely, the surgeon connects the ureters directly to the abdominal wall to create a stoma. Like the ileal conduit, a ureterostomy requires a collecting pouch placed over the stoma because there are no muscles around the stoma to control the flow of urine.
In a ureterostomy, the ureters are connected directly to the abdominal wall to create two stomas.
Another method of storing and eliminating urine is the continent diversion. In this method, the surgeon creates a pouch, or reservoir, inside your body from a section of your stomach or small or large intestine. The ureters carry urine to the pouch, where it is stored. Depending on the type of continent diversion, you may or may not have a stoma.
- Continent cutaneous reservoir. This form of continent diversion does include a stoma. This method requires you to empty the reservoir, the internal pouch, regularly through the stoma using a catheter or thin plastic tube.If your urethra is preserved during the operation, you may be able to have a urinary diversion that does not require a stoma or catheter.
With a continent cutaneous reservoir, an internal pouch stores urine. The patient uses a catheter or plastic tube to empty urine through the stoma.
- Bladder substitute. This method lets you urinate through your own urethra as you did with your original bladder, or you may have to empty using a catheter through your urethra. The surgeon creates an internal pouch that stores urine as your bladder did. It is connected to your urethra so you may be able to empty your bladder in the normal way, although you will need to use different muscles to expel the urine.
With a bladder substitute, the patient can urinate through the urethra.
Caring for Your Urinary Diversion
After your surgery, a wound, ostomy, and continence (WOC) nurse can work with you to help you learn how to take care of your urinary diversion. WOC nurses are experienced and knowledgeable, so don’t be shy about asking questions if you have any concerns.
If you have an ileal conduit or ureterostomy, you will work with your doctor or WOC nurse to learn how to change your pouch. Your pouching system may consist of two pieces—a barrier that sticks to your skin and a pouch that attaches to the barrier. In some systems, the barrier and pouch are a single unit.
A two-piece pouch system. The square barrier sticks to the skin. The pouch attaches to the barrier
Using a Catheter
If you have a continent reservoir, you will learn how to insert a catheter through the stoma or your urethra to drain your reservoir. You may do this either by standing in front of the toilet or by sitting on the toilet and then emptying the catheter between your legs. In the first few weeks, you will need to use the catheter every couple of hours. Soon, you will be able to go 4 to 6 hours between catheterizations. Wash your hands with soap and water each time you use a catheter.
If you use a pouch, you can clean your skin with a wet towelette or washcloth as you change the pouch. Let your skin dry completely before you apply the new pouch. If your skin becomes irritated, you can use protective skin wipes or an ostomy powder designed to protect the skin around a stoma.
If you have a continent diversion, you will need to irrigate, or flush out, the reservoir using sterile water or normal saline and a syringe. Since the reservoir may be made from a part of the intestine, it may produce mucus that normally lines the digestive tract. Irrigating or flushing the reservoir clears this mucus from the reservoir. Talk with your health care provider about how often you should irrigate the reservoir.
Urostomies and continent urinary diversions can get infected. Symptoms of infection include
- dark urine or urine containing excess mucus
- strong-smelling urine
- pain in the back
- poor appetite
Call your health care provider if you notice any of these warning signs. Drinking eight full glasses of water every day can help prevent infection by flushing out bacteria.
You probably will be able to eat your normal diet. You may find that some foods, such as asparagus and seafood, cause urine to have a stronger odor. Talk with your health care provider about your dietary needs.
Wearing a urostomy pouch does not require special clothing. Modern pouches are designed to lie flat against the body so they can’t be noticed. You may wear the pouch tucked inside your underwear or between your underwear and your outer clothing. Women may wear a pouch under a girdle as long as it is made of stretchy material. Men may wear the pouch inside an athletic supporter.
You will need to restrict your activity during the first 2 to 3 weeks after surgery. Avoid driving and heavy lifting to help your stoma heal. Once healed, you should be able do most of the activities you enjoyed before your surgery. The only exceptions may be contact sports like football or karate. If your job includes hard physical labor, talk with your doctor and your employer about making adjustments to your job responsibilities.
You may worry that people will have negative reactions regarding your surgery. Most people will never know that you are wearing a pouch, unless you choose to tell them. Friends and relatives are likely to be aware of your health problems, but only a spouse, intimate partner, or primary care taker need know the details of your urinary diversion surgery. Still, many people find being open about their situation is easier than keeping it a secret. You can choose how much you will share about your condition.
You can still maintain a satisfying sexual relationship with your partner. Your doctor or WOC nurse will tell you when you may safely resume sexual activity after your surgery. Talk with your health care provider about any concerns you have with maintaining intimate relations. Your nurse or doctor can give you information about ways to protect your stoma during sex. You may also want to ask about specially designed apparel to enhance intimacy for people with ostomies. Communicating with your partner is essential. Share your concerns and wishes, and listen carefully to your partner’s concerns.
Hope Through Research
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) has many research programs aimed at finding and improving treatments for urinary disorders. Researchers supported by the NIDDK are working to understand the growth of bladder tissue in order to find artificial methods of generating that kind of tissue. In an experimental setting, a patient whose bladder must be removed may be given a replacement bladder made from bioengineered tissues instead of from a segment of the patient’s bowel. The bioengineered tissue would function much more like a natural bladder.
National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse
The National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse (NKUDIC) is a service of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). The NIDDK is part of the National Institutes of Health of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Cupertino (CA) – Apple has backed down from its legal bullying of the Web site Bluwiki, a site hosting content for iTunes database exploration.
According to Apple Insider it all started when Bluwiki offered a set of anonymous user-created wiki pages where users explained how to sync media with iPods and iPhones without the use of iTunes.
Apple was furious that someone would dare use its iPods without iTunes and threatened to sue Odowork’s Bluwiki even though it did nothing to suggest anything illegal.
iTunesDB uses iTunes’ database file system and creates third-party software that can replicate the sync functionality of iTunes for iPhones and iPods without forcing users to run Apple’s own media software.
In November 2008, Apple slapped writ after writ on Bluwiki. It claimed that iTunesDB violates the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)’s rules on circumventing copyright locks and successfully frightened OdioWorks into taking down the wiki entries.
But things started going badly for Apple when the pressure group the Electronic Frontier Foundation took up the case and started firing off a few legal writs of its own. In April 2009, the EFF returned fire, suing Apple on behalf of OdioWorks. In a writ they asked a court to reject Apple’s claims and allow Bluwiki to restore the pages.
Now it seems that Apple has sent a letter withdrawing its cease and desist demands, and EFF responded by moving to dismiss its complaint against Apple.
Red-faced attorneys at Apple have said that the outfit no longer has, nor will it have in the future, any objection to the publication of the iTunesDB Pages.
As the EFF points out, while it was nice that Apple retracted its baseless legal threats, it was disappointing that it only came after seven months of censorship and a lawsuit.

What does it mean to be filled with joy? A young mother of three with a new baby on the way just lost her husband in a car accident this past week in the small California town that our family calls home. Where is the joy in that? A friend is working through the process to adopt a child who has called her, "Mommy," for about a year now and the system is getting more convoluted, not less, as time goes by. Where is the joy in that? A beloved relative is in the hospital with bleeding in his brain. Where is the joy in that? I have a nephew who I have only seen in pictures who is celebrating his 2nd Christmas and a trip to visit and take in that moment with my own eyes isn't in the budget. Where is the joy in that?
This Sunday, our church will light the candle of JOY on the advent wreath. First was hope, then came peace, now JOY. I have been reflecting on the idea of JOY in preparation for this coming Sunday, and frankly, no revelations were happening in my heart, mind or soul. But I kept looking. This morning, I picked up the devotional book (Jesus Calling, by Sarah Young) and there it was. Staring me in the face on the page designated to read on December 10th of each year. Even so, I didn't recognize it right away. It was couched in a lesson on security. "Make Me the focal point of your search for security," it started. My mind started to wander. Clearly, this wasn't going to illuminate the Bible's teaching on JOY for me. Alas, I kept reading, albeit a little miffed and disappointed.
"Make Me the focal point of your search for security. In your private thoughts, you are still trying to order your world so that it is predictable and feels safe. Not only is this an impossible goal, but it is also counterproductive to spiritual growth. When your private world feels unsteady and you grip My hand for support, you are living in conscious dependence on Me. Instead of yearning for a problem-free life, REJOICE that trouble can highlight your awareness of My Presence. In the darkness of adversity, you are able to see more clearly the radiance of My Face. Accept the value of problems in this life, considering them pure JOY. Remember that you have an eternity of trouble-free living awaiting you in heaven." - taken from the inspiration Isaiah 41:10; Psalm 139:10; James 1:2.
Could it be that JOY and security are tightly bound together? The newly widowed mother whose life suddenly looks nothing like she planned, the friend called "Mommy" by a child born to another waiting on the legal system to make it so, the uncle in the hospital whose physical health is fragile and uncertain, the aunt who has no assurance of when she will see her nephew. We all have something in common. We all lack the security of knowing the future. This devotional reminded me that we can all have something else in common too, if we will choose it: a heightened awareness of the presence of God that others on more seemingly steady ground cannot know. These areas of our lives where security is stretched thin and it feels like we are walking on spider webs where they should be pavement, these are the moments, the days, the seasons where we can experience what it is truly like to be carried in the arms of God.
I remember as a little girl, as I was getting a bit too big to be carried places on a parent's hip or shoulders. I would take utter delight in the moments when I could "trick" my Daddy into believing that I had fallen asleep on the couch in the evenings. Without fail, he would scoop me up and carry me to bed. Tucking me in and kissing me on the forehead, while I pretended not to notice, as I faked sleep. Once he was out of the room, I would open my eyes and smile, relishing the moment. There was something so special about being physically carried by someone who loved me so tenderly.
We don't have to fake neediness on earth. We are needy. Sometimes our neediness is more obvious than others, and in those moments (as others feel sorry for us) we get to stop pretending that we have it all together. We get to stretch up our hands, with tears in our eyes and cry out, "Daddy, God, I NEED you!" And after He has carried us for a season, through things we couldn't handle on our own, we can open our eyes as we find ourselves resting in the evidence of His security and smile in a knowing way that others can't. We can remember the feel of His strong arms and the sound of His heartbeat and His kiss on our cheek, and His loving words, and we will know a deeper joy than we could ever feel without having been carried.
Consider it all joy, if your predictable, safe world is anything but predictable and safe this Christmas season. Your Daddy will carry you through it.
He sent His one and only son, Jesus, to be born of a virgin, to live a sinless life, yet die a sinner's death on your behalf and to be resurrected from death to eternal life just to make a way for you to run into the arms of His perfect Father and call Him your own at such a time as this. I pray that you will let Him.
So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. - Isaiah 41:10
7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,”
12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you. - Psalm 139:7-12
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds - James 1:2
In February, when it became clear that we would be moving out of rural America, where a monthly mortgage payment on a 2,400sf house was right at $1,000, into one of the most expensive urban areas in the country, where you can't even find a tiny, one bedroom apartment in a bad neighborhood with rent at that price, we had to adjust our thinking. What had been unacceptable to us for the previous 13 years (aka: the thought of apartment life), shifted to becoming highly desirable as we began to get an idea of what it would cost to live in the DC metro area. An hour long commute to and from work, would have been completely unthinkable in any other context and yet here, shockingly, it doesn't seem so bad because it would save thousands of dollars each year. Our perspective had to be altered to suit our new reality.
It was funny to me today to hear myself tell Jason how much I was loving apartment life. I love it because the apartment is small so it is easy to clean. I love that we have absolutely ZERO responsibility for keeping up a yard or maintaining the exterior of our dwelling. I love that we don't accumulate too much "stuff" because there is just no where to put it. I love that it is easy to heat and cool. I love that we have free access to a swimming pool (that we don't have to maintain) and a fitness center. I'm just altogether completely pleased with something I DID NOT WANT in the first place. Go figure.
When Jason and I got married almost 15 years ago, we lived in an apartment for two years. We hated it. We complained about it. We desperately wanted a house, where our neighbors weren't so close and where we would have more space. We then rented two different houses for 3 years total and we complained about each because, although each had their merits, neither was "our own place." We then bought our first house and the excitement quickly wore off and we complained about all the things that needed to be done to fix the place up and make it more modern and more "us." After three years, and a lot of home improvement projects, we moved across the country and bought a bigger, nicer house and thought we had arrived. Turns out, bigger, nicer houses take bigger wads of cash to maintain. They can also be harder to sell, and when it was time to move on from there, it took two and a half years to find someone who wanted to buy our bigger, nicer house. Boy did we complain about that! In the meantime we came to know the joy and heartache of renting OLDER homes (80-100+ years old). Everyone who visited us raved about "the character" and "the potential," while we put off saving for Tim's college education in order to pay the astronomical heating bills for those old houses and , you guessed it, we complained.
So here we are living in an apartment - back to square one - and paying more for it each month than we ever dreamed of paying for housing in our lifetime, and we are happy. It is up to us now, to catch a clue and stay that way, and stop complaining. Obviously, each living arrangement has its ups and downs - but at the end of the day, it is a roof over our heads and a place to sleep, prepare and eat meals, and be a family. It could be better and it could be worse.
Someone posted this quote on Facebook today: "That thing you are taking for granted is the very thing someone else is praying for." I'm taking two lessons from that today:
1. Habitual complaining is lame. It shows utter disrespect for those who are going without and a lack of trust in the One who directs our paths. May I learn contentment and joy in the here and now, whatever and wherever that may be.
2. I should always examine why I am praying for the things that I am praying for. Bigger, better, cheaper and easier aren't the goals of life. If I am praying for something that someone else is taking for granted... maybe it is because they are self-centered... but maybe it is because it isn't really worth praying for to begin with.
"This then is how you should pray:
‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one."
Amen. Have I told you how much I love our little apartment?
This is Luke McMaster. He is a multiplatinum song-writer who recently launched a solo career with a billboard hit song - "Good Morning Beautiful." About a month ago, just before Christmas, a friend of mine from childhood was facing a heart surgery for her 3 year old daughter, Elouise. Prior to her surgery, Elouise's grandma introduced her to "Good Morning Beautiful" and it became her favorite song. They tweeted Luke McMaster (a stranger to them) a picture of Elouise listening to the song before going into surgery. He promised to record a special version just for her.
The thing is, he actually did it.
He chose to be delightful. He didn't have to. Elouise came through her surgery beautifully and would have lived a happy life without a personalized version of a billboard hit song. But he did it anyway. This isn't the first story or video to inspire this kind of attitude that I've come across lately: Jon Acuff wrote this blog post called Choose To Be Delightful about his experience at Trader Joe's, and if you haven't been watching the Kid President videos... well then you are missing out big time!
I guess the theme is, Why NOT be delightful?! It only takes a few extra moments of your time and makes a HUGE difference in the world around you.
P.S. You can get Luke McMaster's debut album, "All Roads," on iTunes or Amazon. (not a paid endorsement, I just think it is great to support artists who take the time to be delightful)
I laugh easily. Sometimes, I laugh a tad bit too loudly. I have learned not to be self conscious about my laughter because laughter is one of God's precious gifts.
A couple of days ago I wrote a post about some brain research that I have been doing, and I mentioned how when the brain senses a threat to our physical or social well-being the amygdala releases electro-chemicals that produce an instantaneous sense of dread and a readiness to act and defend/protect ourselves. This is a good thing... except when it isn't. We've all been there. Something bad ALMOST happens, then it doesn't yet we can't shake that heavy feeling of foreboding for a long time afterward even though the threat is gone. We want to! Logically we know there is nothing wrong, but it takes awhile for those electro-chemicals to dissipate. For me this happens whenever there is a close call on the road. When an accident ALMOST happens, but doesn't. It seems to take ages before I can feel light-hearted and relaxed again.
Guess what brain research has shown us? Laughter is the thing that can restore balance in the brain faster than anything else! Its almost like your brain hears you laughing and goes, "Hmmm, I guess this isn't the end of the world. If she can laugh about it, or during it, there must be hope! Guess I'll settle down."
The Bible alluded to this long before any MRI or CT Scan or EKG of brain activity appeared on the scene. Check it out:
Proverbs 17:22 ESV "A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones."
In Pastor Rick Warren's article, "Learn to Laugh" in the Christian Post he says this: "Humor is an amazing thing. It’s a tension dissolver. It’s an antidote to anxiety. It’s just like a tranquilizer, but without any troublesome side effects. And it’s free! You don’t even need a prescription. Laughter is life’s shock absorber. If you want to have less stress in your life, learn to laugh at your circumstances. Somehow, you must find the fun in the frustrating." So true! The other day a friend texted me a picture of a bottle of RID and the bad news that lice had made an appearance in her family. Ugh. By God's grace, after commiserating with her misfortune, I immediately texted back something like this: "You can do this! Secret prize is in store for whoever in your family comes up with the funniest lice or nit joke. Go!" Our families, separated by more than half the country, spent the next several minutes texting made up jokes back and forth and giggling. My favorite was, "Why did the lice cross the road? To get to the hairier side." Hardee-har-har.
What a gift we have in laughter, let's not neglect to open up and use that gift often and well, avoiding finding humor in the crude or crass, yet fully appreciating the whimsical, silly, ironic, delightful things that God brings to mind and helping others to do the same.
Need a little help getting the giggles started, try these:
If I had gone to the Cheesecake Factory today by myself, I never would have tasted these. These are Avocado Eggrolls and they are DELICIOUS. I never would have ordered them on my own though. Never. I have my standard order and I don't vary from it much. I have my Cheesecake Factory favorite and I stick with it.
But today, I went with my husband, my son, my mother-in-law (Sandy), and my father-in-law (Jim). Jim and Sandy like to go to the Cheesecake Factory near their home sometimes and just order appetizers and drinks. Having tried several appetizers, they now know what they like best, so they ordered the avocado eggrolls and some calamari for us all to enjoy before our entrees, and I am so glad they did! I enjoyed every bite.
So this got me thinking... We really are better together, folks. We weren't meant to walk through life alone - picking out our favorites (places, food, books, movies, jobs, stores, bible verses, activities, etc.) and sticking with them. We were meant to walk through life together, to rub shoulders with many different people and experience their favorites along with our own; opening our senses to the world as THEY perceive it. We won't always love the world as others show it to us. Sometimes we won't be able to relate at all, but even if we don't share their view we will have a clearer, broader perspective when all is said and done.
Once during my childhood my grandparents traveled from Florida to visit my family in Arizona. We were so excited to take them to see the Grand Canyon! We couldn't wait to show off the beautiful scenery and watch them take their first breathtaking glimpse of God's creative power on display. I will never forget them getting out of the car taking a look over the edge and NOT BEING IMPRESSED AT ALL. It was just a big hole in the ground to them. For a long time this frustrated me. I just couldn't understand it. I even blamed them for not having a stronger reaction, but at the end of the day: they saw it. Whether it moved them or not, they saw it. They had that experience in their back pocket for the rest of their days and no one could take it from them. For me the Grand Canyon was a place where God was to be worshiped and where my imagination ran wild. For my grandparents the Grand Canyon was a place that made them glad they lived in Florida where there are lush green trees and warm, sandy beaches and not in Arizona where deserts are beautiful, but harsh and desolate too.
Regardless of whether our time spent with others trying new things, exploring THEIR favorites, shows us what we have in common or brings into stark contrast our differences, it is time well spent.
So my question today is, when was the last time you sampled someone else's favorite anything? When was the last time you stepped out of your routine and asked someone to show you a piece of the world through their eyes? A new sight, a new taste, a new perspective/opinion, a new hobby, a new labor, a new way of doing something you've always done?
You never know... it might just be a hole in the ground, but it could be THE GRAND CANYON! It's worth a shot.
One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp is a best selling book. Many, MANY have read it and been changed by its message. I have resisted. I have resisted because I am prone to resistance. I am known to resist the new and the popular at times. Why? Who knows. Chalk it up to whatever makes most sense to you and call it a day. What matters is that whatever wall I had built up around this book and whatever reasons I had that were keeping me from receiving its message are now gone. Today, Ann released on her blog the first 20 minute video that will be a part of a DVD set that will be available to help small groups process One Thousand Gifts together. I watched it. I now "get it." I had to let Ann know.
Go to Ann's blog to watch the video. It is moving and poignant and refreshing. I'm looking forward to seeking out the 1,000+ gifts that God has given and continues to give in my life and naming them.
Happy Independence Day! We Ritzes are getting ready to do what many other Americans are anticipating today as well - spending time with friends, enjoying hamburgers and hot dogs from the grill, making homemade ice cream, playing games, relaxing and hopefully taking in some fireworks later this evening. This morning as I think about what this day means to our country, I am also pausing to think about the the idea of independence, and how truly illusive it is.
It seems that, as individuals, just as we declare our independence from one person, idea, season of life, pattern of behavior, or situation - another area of dependence is revealed. We cannot escape it. Our country has not been able to escape it either. Dependency is a lifelong lesson-learning opportunity. Figuring out what we are dependent on, deciding if it is a healthy dependency, and if the extent of the dependency is appropriate and then adjusting relationships and behaviors as needed to bring balance. We do this over and over and over again throughout our lifetime.
We seek this balance in each of our relationships, in our work life, in our financial planning, in our decision making, and in our spiritual life. When we become overly dependent or overly independent in any area, things start to breakdown and we begin to suffer and, as much as we don't want to admit it, those closest to us suffer as well.
I once heard this quote: "The only entity that can completely control your life without ultimately destroying it is God." He is the only One we can ultimately be wholly and completely dependent on without negative consequences. Jesus himself said in John 15:5 NIV, "I am the vine, you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit. Apart from Me, you can do nothing." YOU CAN DO NOTHING apart from Him. If that isn't a call to acknowledging complete dependency on God and God alone, then I don't know what is. When anything else in our lives, other than God, demands this kind of dependency we get very uncomfortable very quickly, and if/when we become this dependent on anything other than God things fall apart just as quickly.
On this Independence Day, as we celebrate the blessings of life and freedom in the United States, let us also consider the reality of our own dependency on God and ask ourselves a few penetrating questions to see if we are experiencing the most life and freedom in Christ possible:
1. What one thing or person in my life do I feel like I truly cannot live without? Why? Do I really have any control over whether or not this thing/person remains in my life?
2. What good thing am I doing in my life right now that I would likely stop doing if I didn't have the support I currently have? How did I become dependent on this support in order to do the right thing?
3. Who am I allowing to depend on me inappropriately and how? Why have I allowed this? How can I stop this for that person's benefit?
4. How am I demonstrating the reality of my dependency on God on a daily basis? Can any one else in my life tell that I acknowledge this dependence? What is one change I can make today to release my dependency on people/things and embrace my dependency on God?
I am currently reading the autobiography of Helen Keller. I am barely 100 pages in and I have already become enthralled with the world and life of this remarkable woman who lost both her hearing and sight at the age of 18 months (due to illness).
Before language had been fully developed in her mind, she was thrust into a world where her only means of interpreting the stuff of life would be her sense of touch, taste, smell and imagination. She couldn't see the love in her parents eyes or hear their words of affection. Their identity in her life became an amalgam of how they smelled, what they did for her and exposed her to, and how they touched her. She had no way of expressing her needs and wants other than crude pantomime, and she had no way of contemplating anything that wasn't concretely observable through her remaining senses. Talk about a dark existence.
Enter Ann Sullivan, the woman Helen would come to affectionately call "Teacher." When Ann first met Helen (almost age 7), she brought her a doll as a gift. In the days ahead as Ann tried to break through the darkness in Helen's mind by teaching her language by spelling out words in her hand using the manual alphabet, Helen would, understandably, become frustrated and angry. In one moment of particular frustration, she took out her aggression on the doll: "I became impatient at her repeated attempts and, seizing the new doll, I dashed it upon the floor. I was keenly delighted when I felt the fragments of the broken doll at my feet. Neither sorrow nor regret followed my passionate outburst. I had not loved the doll. In the still, dark world in which I lived there was no strong sentiment of tenderness.”
On that same day as God would have it, Helen had a breakthrough. Ann took her outside to the well on her family's property and poured the cool well water over her cupped hands and then spelled the word W-A-T-E-R into her palm. "Suddenly I felt a misty consciousness as of something forgotten – a thrill of returning thought; and somehow the mystery of language was revealed to me. I knew then that w-a-t-e-r meant the wonderful cool something that was flowing over my hand. That living word awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, joy, set it free! There were barriers still, it is true, but barriers that could in time be swept away.”
While this story in and of itself is truly amazing and wonderful, it is what happened next in Helen's account that captured my attention even more. When they came back to the house after her encounter with w-a-t-e-r, this is what she recounts: "On entering the door, I remembered the doll I had broken. I felt my way to the hearth and picked up the pieces. I tried vainly to put them together. Then my eyes filled with tears, for I realized what I had done, and for the first time I felt repentance and sorrow.”
How remarkable this is to me! It wasn't until the light shined into Helen's dark world through the gift of language that she was able to step outside of her own self-centered existence to grieve over the ramifications of her actions. The doll immediately became, not just "one more thing in a dark world to be touched and examined," but rather "a gift" from someone who cared enough about her to work with her through her frustrations to help her get to a place where the light could shine.
Perspective is a gift. How many things in our lives do we (literally, or figuratively with our words) "dash upon the floor" in frustration all because we lack the perspective?
This is how Helen describes the end of that blessed day in her book: "It would have been difficult to find a happier child than I was as I lay in my bed at the close of that eventful day and lived over the joys it had brought me, and for the first time longed for a new day to come.”
Perspective. Light. Grace. Living Water. The Word. These are the things that brought Helen Keller out of darkness, out of that unfeeling place and into a state of mind that could make a blind and deaf child joyful and thoroughly excited about the days ahead. Because of the love of God, the best teacher of all, these things still have this power and always will.
The words of Jesus from John 7:38, "He who believes in me, as the Scripture said, 'From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.'" NASB
I am laying on the chaise lounge under a quilt, hair pulled up, looking pathetic; and thinking about blessings. I think it is time to count my blessings - it has been too long and I have so much to be thankful for. So, here goes. A list of ways God has blessed me lately:

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Philadelphia’s idea to combat the overdose crisis with a so-called safe injection site is being met with strong opposition from the state’s top cop.
The city’s approach is unconventional, but it’s also illegal, in the eyes of Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro.
“I’ve made it clear to the city there would need to be changes in federal and state law to allow that,” he said.
Shapiro says his office is focusing on punishing dealers, holding drug companies and doctors accountable, and access to treatment.
“There’s no safe way to inject yourself with this kind of poison,” he said.
Shapiro points to a bust Sunday at a house on 4th Street in Feltonville, where two men were arrested and agents seized more than $2.5 million worth of heroin and fentanyl.
“One dose of this poison right here can kill you,” he said. “We just took 250,000 of those doses off the streets.”
Overdoses, largely fueled by opioids, last year claimed more than 1200 lives in the city.
Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner does not appear to be concerned about the legal hurdles the plan faces.
“The DA’s office is not going to stop good people from saving lives,” Krasner tells CBS3. “That’s the bottom line. We have three to four people dying a day in Philadelphia. We need to create a situation in which they can survive long enough to get their lives together, get rehabilitation.”

While Londoners complain of poor work-life balance, high living costs and seemingly endless Tube strikes, the capital has become even more attractive to foreign executives than ever.
A survey of 400 foreign-born executives, by foreign direct investment agency Think London and Cranfield School of Management, found 93% believe working in London would benefit their career.
This belief is borne out in the findings – of those polled, 60% have been promoted during their time in the capital and almost 80% expect further promotion when they leave.
Eight out of 10 of those interviewed said that colleagues in their home country viewed a move to London as very important to their career development.
Contrary to fears voiced by the CBI and others, foreign executives did not worry about excessive red tape, according to one of the report’s authors, Michael Dickmann.
“People said to us that a strong attraction [of coming to London] was they perceived there was less red tape to deal with than in other places,” he said.
Dickmann said another key draw was that people in the UK accepted different cultures, making it more attractive than the US.

Donohoe was the representative for Pennsylvania’s 5th congressional district and was a Democrat. He served from 1911 to 1915.
From Apr 1911 to Mar 1915, Donohoe missed 161 of 542 roll call votes, which is 29.7%. This is on par with the median of 32.2% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Mar 1915. The chart below reports missed votes over time.
We don’t track why legislators miss votes, but it’s often due to medical absenses and major life events.
|Time Period||Votes Eligible||Missed Votes||Percent||Percentile|
|Dec 1911-Mar 1912||58||18||31.0%||60th|
|Dec 1912-Mar 1913||67||18||26.9%||54th|
|Dec 1913-Feb 1914||24||7||29.2%||62nd|

As Christians we are called to love and protect life. To hold to the belief that abortion is acceptable or OK in “certain circumstances” goes against our call to love and uphold the dignity and sanctity of life. Abortion is a violation of God’s commandment – thou shalt not kill – and a hatred or at best a disregard for life.
The Nativity story is a story of a crisis pregnancy: Mary was not married, there was a threat of her being stoned to death for being pregnant and not married, Joseph could have left her, Mary and Joseph had to flee from Herod, and they did not have a lot of money. These are all the classic arguments people give when having an abortion and God shows, through the Holy Family, that these excuses don’t matter. Abortion under no circumstances is valid.
Below is a poster that is thought provoking. It shows on one hand the lack of love, faith and hope in the pro-choice mindset. On the other if this situation played out in the same way today the reason for Christmas might have been aborted.

- Once the drugs and alcohol are out of your system, you move to the core of your treatment. The majority of time is spent in therapy, reflecting on the feelings and issues behind your drug and alcohol use. Other forms of therapy here use art, music, horses, adventure, and eye movements to bring awareness to any subconscious feelings that may be holding you back. You’ll also work with the medical team to stabilize your brain and cravings.Between the emotional sessions and medical evaluations, you have time to relax with activities like yoga. Your meals are cooked by a personal chef. You’ll make friends with people who will support you long after treatment, and even help you have some fun while you’re here.
- You’ll be trained on the JourneyPure app, which will reward you for making healthy choices after you leave. It also connects you with your Recovery Coach, who has been there before and will be there for you if you’re ever feeling triggered.

Linda Barry combines funny comics, drawings, and text in a book for adults about how to get your drawing juices flowing. There's how tos are more for an adult who just wants to get started drawing. Her own comics and art are what is really inspiring for me! I also enjoy her commentary and questioning about the drawing process and creativity. In one comic the dialogue says, "If you use coloring books past the age of ten, you will wreck your imagination forever. Who says? All the scientists. Just warnin' ya."
"When you are little you will draw pictures for no reason.
What does a line do? It's not something that you are good at or bad at. It's something else.
You move your hand and you scribble all you want and it feels very good. I can remember that feeling.
What makes us start drawing?
What makes us stop?"
I think this book is probably more for adults, as some of the pages have some adult-like things on them-- such as a monkey smoking cigarettes. However, most of the pages you could show your children who are aspiring comic artists.
Here are some of the pages from her book Picture This.

DR. SHAQUILLE O’NEAL Ed.D., as he calls himself on Instagram, is making Charles Barkley look good with his golf swing.
He stopped by a TopGolf and called himself the “Shadow Golfer”. Well, this Shadow Golfer does not know how to swing a golf club. I mean his follow-through is just horrific! There isn’t a follow-through at all really, it’s just a let go of the club kind of deal.
I would not want to be on the course with this big guy. To be on the receiving end of that club getting launched would not be fun.
When he doesn’t whiff it, I’m sure it goes far, but still. Golf is just not his thing.

This article must be talked about; it just cries “WRITE ABOUT ME”, and so I will (I am obliged to).
The future of sex in the UK seems to be “if you have a vagina, you can put any man in prison unless he records the whole seduction process or makes you sign papers where you write down everything that happened in meticulous detail.” This is not a joke, this is actually happening.
The Article Itself
Let me dissect the article a little. Subtitle: “New guidance will be issued to all police forces and prosecutors as part of a ‘toolkit’ to move rape investigations into the 21st century” (emphasis in this article always mine).”
To begin with, notice how the law addresses solely women being raped by men, even though in 2011/2012, 6.61% of victims of sexual assault and rape (combined) were men (page 20, figure 3.1). Also, there were 9,000 males raped per year versus 69,000 between 2009-2010 and 2011-2012. I’m guessing, however, that males are irrelevant in the eyes of the law and do not deserve a law to be applied to them; laws must be applied preferentially to one group, not justly to everyone.
It was necessary to quote it in full. From the moment the law gets the Royal Assent (the formal date that the law comes into force, when the Queen signs it), ALL police forces and prosecutors in this country will have to change their views of rape, of consent, of sexual assault and of how to pursue claims related to those. Thus, it will change the whole methodology itself.
Further, it proclaims to be a “progressive”™ change into the legal system. Apparently, if a woman does not inform in a legally verifiable (!) manner anyone who will provide that evidence in a court (police, witnesses etc.) of her consent then she can sue for being raped. This is considered progress™. The word itself comes from pro- (forward) and gradi (to walk): progredi in Latin, meaning thence “to walk forward”. In a way, we are walking forward; however, in front of us I see a cliff and not green pastures.
“men accused of date rape will need to convince police that a woman consented to sex”.
Good luck with that, fellow UK males! Make sure you bring papers from your lawyer (your solicitor) with the right phrasing and a pen so your sexual partner can sign them. If you don’t have any, then be sure she consents to a short video of her saying she consents to sex. It could sound like this: “I, (insert female name here), hereby declare that proud of the law, I consent to (number of minutes) of sex with (male name) in (positions named/described).”
With a hand on her chest and tears in her eyes, while singing the national anthem, she would be credible.
“Alison Saunders said rape victims should no longer be “blamed” by society if they are too drunk to consent to sex…”
This is perfectly true; we should blame the evil patriarchy for selling alcohol to women. The only rational answer is to ration the alcohol allowance of each person. Similar to how people in the Soviet Union were only allowed one bread per day per family and one kilogram of cooking oil per week, so shall women be allowed two martinis OR one beer OR half a shot per evening.
Do not teach women not to get blackout drunk; that is a grave error. Teach men to only have sex with women when women are fully sober and to always refuse to hit on a drunk girl. In fact, men should be given breathalyzers and they should ask every woman to blow into it. If she is too drunk to drive then she is too drunk for sex.
“Campaigners described the move as “a huge step forward” in ensuring fewer rapists escape justice.”
They spelt innocent men wrong, they wrote it as “rapists.”
Nevermind, also, that a woman (on the same website) wrote about the absurdity of victims never bearing any responsibility for their bodies, minds, and wellbeing. Just ignore her, she might have been a patriarchal double-agent.
“We want police and prosecutors to make sure they ask in every case where consent is the issue – how did the suspect know the complainant was saying yes and doing so freely and knowingly?”
Indeed, how does the suspect know she was saying yes? Are the following clear indications or are they worthless?
a) the woman was undressing herself
b) the woman was undressing the man
c) the woman was kissing the man
d) the woman did not push him away when he started kissing her
e) the woman did not try to run away or try to hit the man or try to stop him when he was putting a condom on (assuming he had one)
Do the above prove consent had taken place? Does the woman need to explicitly state consent?
“The new guidance also covers domestic violence situations and those where ‘the complainant may be financially or otherwise dependent on their alleged rapist.’”
In other words, if you are married and your wife has a much lower income than you (which means you are a male provider), then she can sue you any day she likes for being raped. Once that happens, you wake up in court for having provided for your family and YOU need to provide evidence that she consented to sex last week. Good luck to all married UK men!
“The most recent figures showed that just 15,670 women reported rapes to the police, often because they thought it would be impossible to prove the offence, or because they did not have any confidence in the police’s ability to help them…”
To address that, Alison Saunders thought it’s a good idea to trust hear-say evidence and bypass every legal requirement that took centuries to develop to prevent malicious prosecution that lacks evidence. Obviously, the police is also not worthy of women’s trust. The police clearly cannot help anyone with anything. In fact, we would all have been better off reporting crimes to Don Corleone.
The only logical conclusion when you don’t like the laws of a country (or when they allow others to end your life in a few minutes, just by talking) the only solutions are a) to change the laws, or b) to move out of the country. Changing the law is impossible at the moment since feminists enact laws. Of course, in the future Sharia Law may gain more power; presently, there are 85 Sharia courts in the UK.
Moving out of the country seems to be the only sensible thing for an individual. Of course, there is also option c: behave well towards your woman and hope (yes, HOPE) that she doesn’t get bored by you and that she doesn’t start loathing you. This is based mostly on luck, for unless you are an alpha provider who alternates between alpha game and romantic game, then you can never be sure of what may happen.

It doesn’t matter who you are, we ALL experience lack of motivation. When you first start a project, or an idea, or a new life change, you are EXTREMELY motivated and happy! You wake up feeling positive, gung-ho and ready to tackle whatever it is HEAD ON!
But… after a few days or weeks that lack-luster feeling starts to trickle in and you start to get in that vicious “I will do it later” mentality. That’s when later becomes a day, then a week, then a month and eventually you are back to square one again.
Don’t you think it would take less effort to actually just DO IT rather than start and stop again and again and again? Sure it would! But how? How can you stop the roller coaster?
Honestly, I have dealt with this my entire life. I am a master-procrastinator. I hate to admit it but it’s the truth. However I have developed some key habits to help me stay focused, motivated and to help me actually get shit done!
1 – Remember your WHY
Why did you start? Sometimes I will write this over and over again. I have post it notes on my desk, on my computer, on my coffee maker; anything to help remind me WHY I started to begin with. And when the going gets tough I will focus on this one thing – my WHY.
And you must truly be honest with yourself your goal. Are you doing this for YOU? Do you REALLY want to do this or are you trying to please someone else? If you are not mentally “in the game” then you are setting yourself up for failure. Avoid this by figuring out what YOU truly want!
2 – Create a SUCCESSFUL environment
Your environment needs to support you and your goals. You need to create environments that will contribute to the overall success of your end result. Look closely at the people you surround yourself with. Are they rising you up or keeping you down? Examine your work area. Is it filled with things you love or do you dread the time you have to spend there? If you are not fully happy with your environment this will affect the overall success of your desired outcome.
Environment is a HUGE factor for me! I must have my office area a certain way – colors, feelings, sounds, smells… all of these elements are crucial to my work success. If I have a fitness goal then I must surround myself with fitness – getting a gym membership, investing in some home equipment, signing up in an online fitness challenge group are all huge motivators for me.
Take a few minutes to examine the areas in your life that could be holding you back. This could be a great time for you to make a much-needed change!
3 – Look at the past
There are not many times you should look at the past but you must continually examine what you have accomplished! In the times you feel frustrated with your progress just take a moment and see how far you have actually come! If your brain is not allowing you to see that then talk to someone who has seen you progress through your journey – let them be the reminder!
My husband is really good about praising me when I need it the most. I will vent my frustrations at him and he is very quick to state my progress and how far I have come. This little pep talk always takes me to the next level. I work harder and my progress is elevated!
This is also a great time for you to write your achievements down and to re-evaluate your steps. Maybe something isn’t working out the way you thought. Constantly working at your goals is a great way to keep that momentum going!
4 – And maybe you SHOULD quit
You need to get honest with yourself here. If you are struggling to find enjoyment in a goal or task then you need to figure out WHY. Is this something you REALLY want to be doing? Go back to number 1 – YOUR WHY. This is why it is so important for you to create goals that are for you and only you. At the end of the day if you are striving towards something that will please and benefit someone else you will lose steam quickly and end up failing.
Maybe it’s not the right time for you to tackle the goal. Instead of disappointing yourself just back off and tackle it when you feel the timing is better. Give yourself permission to forgive yourself and know that you are not a quitter or a failure. Timing really is everything and you don’t need to feel ashamed.
I certainly hope these tips help you stay motivated! I would love to hear about your goals and ways that you keep motivated – share below!

Thermal Concrete Wine Chiller: This chiller by Angle 33 looks great and works exceptionally well. We now use ours almost every evening. The wine thermal can act as a chiller but we find it works best to maintain temperature for a perfectly chilled or cellared wine. The thermal is chilled in the refrigerator so ice is never used. The attractively colored thermal concrete is sealed so it does not sweat or get wet on the sides and bottom. Therefore there is no sloppy ice chiller drip.
The Angle 33 Thermal is hand crafted in Montana (see how it is made here). Priced at $64.99, the Angle 33 Premium Concrete Thermal is as handsome as it is functional. Angle 33 also offers matching coasters.
Grapeseed Oils and Flour: Earlier this year we found these delicious grapeseed oils from Salute Santé! in Napa, CA. They make a high smoke point cooking oil as well as herb-flavored and grape variety-specific finishing oils. GMO free, they have replaced olive oils in our kitchen. The gluten-free grapeseed flour is a great addition (20%-30%) to whole grain bread flours and gluten-free flours, creating a nutty richness.

Six is a number of balance, so it makes sense that the Six of Wands shows a time when the strife and competition of the past have been overcome, and you can enjoy the spoils of victory. This is one of the most powerful of the Minor Arcana since its meaning is so one-sided yet so full of depth at the same time. Though it is a purely physical victory that has been gained, not a spiritual one as in the Sun, that does detract from the momentary pleasure and acclaim. Not every victory must be a spiritual one - victories in the material world as just as enjoyable.
Sometimes, when surrounded by more spiritual cards, it is true that the Six of Wands can refer to a spiritual breakthrough. But most often it refers to the surmounting of obstacles in your everyday life through confidence, quick action and dedication to your goals - the Wands ideal. When this card makes an appearance, it is a sign that your goals are about to be reached, and your hard efforts will be recognized by all. The recognition may be elaborate or subtle, but it will be there in some form. You can see all of life's battles through to their end, and what is more, you can win them too.
As with all Wands cards, however, there are inherent dangers in playing with the Six's fire. With victory will often come pride and arrogance, and the notion that you are the best, and no one can be greater than you are. To think such things is to invite disappointment later on. While it is true that for every winner there must be a loser, it is also true that, on the average, you will lose just as often as you win. Always keep in mind, when this card's energy empowers you, how you would feel if someone made you feel inferior. Rein in your ego and make your victory all the sweeter.
Sometimes the Six of Wands indicates the successful formation of a friendship or a romantic relationship, tending to favor the former because the Wands suit tends to focus on morality more than emotion. It is a sign to relax and enjoy the fruits of one's labors. But under no circumstances is it a shady tree under which to sit down and fall asleep. The most important work still lies ahead. This is a reminder that you are on the right track, but that there is still a long way to go. So travel in confidence and high spirits, knowing that when you do reach your destination the reception you receive will be one worthy of a king.

Move over Bullitt Mustang, there’s another shade of green in town—Ford is introducing an all-new color called Need for Green—that looks a lot like Kelly Green to us.
The bright color is sure to stand out around town like the Incredible Hulk at a Thor convention and it definitely seems destined to lead a St. Patrick’s Day parade at some point as well.
“This is a color Mustang fans will celebrate because of its confident and youthful attitude,” said Barbara Whalen, Ford color and materials manager, in a statement.
“Need for Green is vibrant and jumps out at you, giving Mustang owners a look that definitely stands out in a crowd.”
If the new color doesn’t make you green with envy—the Mustang Shelby GT 500 was also teased this week and looks like a real beast.
Ford says that Need for Green will be available for the 2019 Mustang lineup this summer. Now seems like a good time to start stashing away some greenbacks for a down payment.

Release Date: October 22, 2009
For immediate release
The Federal Reserve Board on Thursday issued a proposal designed to ensure that the incentive compensation policies of banking organizations do not undermine the safety and soundness of their organizations.
The proposal includes two supervisory initiatives. One, applicable to 28 large, complex banking organizations, will review each firm's policies and practices to determine their consistency with the principles for risk-appropriate incentive compensation set forth in the proposal. These firm-specific policies will be assessed by supervisors in a special "horizontal review," a coordinated examination of practices at the 28 firms. The policies and implementing practices adopted by these firms in response to the final supervisory principles will become a part of the supervisory expectations for each firm and will be monitored for compliance.
Second, supervisors will review compensation practices at regional, community, and other banking organizations not classified as large and complex as part of the regular, risk-focused examination process. These reviews will be tailored to take account of the size, complexity, and other characteristics of the banking organization.
"Compensation practices at some banking organizations have led to misaligned incentives and excessive risk-taking, contributing to bank losses and financial instability," Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said. "The Federal Reserve is working to ensure that compensation packages appropriately tie rewards to longer-term performance and do not create undue risk for the firm or the financial system."
Federal Reserve Governor Daniel K. Tarullo noted that the proposal on compensation practices is an important part of the Federal Reserve's ongoing effort to improve financial regulation.
"Today's proposal is but one part of a broad program by the Federal Reserve to strengthen supervision of banks and bank holding companies in the wake of the financial crisis," Tarullo said. "In customizing the implementation of our compensation principles to the specific activities and risks of banking organizations, we advance our goal of an effective, efficient regulatory system."
Flaws in incentive compensation practices were one of many factors contributing to the financial crisis. Inappropriate bonus or other compensation practices can incent senior executives or lower level employees, such as traders or mortgage officers, to take imprudent risks that significantly and adversely affect the firm. With that in mind, the Federal Reserve's guidance and supervisory reviews cover all employees who have the ability to materially affect the risk profile of an organization, either individually, or as part of a group.
The findings from these reviews will be incorporated into the banking organization's supervisory ratings. In appropriate circumstances, the Federal Reserve may require an organization to develop a corrective action plan to rectify deficiencies in its incentive compensation programs and processes.
To monitor and encourage improvements, Federal Reserve staff will prepare a report after the conclusion of 2010 on trends and developments in compensation practices at banking organizations.
Comments will be accepted on the proposed guidance for 30 days after publication in the Federal Register, which is expected shortly. The Federal Register notice is attached.

Munchkins Bitcoin Slot Review
Munchkins from MicroGaming is an older bitcoin slot from 2005 based on 5-reels, 3-rows and 15 fixed paylines offering up to 15,000 coins per payline!
Munchkins finds its origins dating back to 2005, so the graphics are no doubt a little dated. Still, if you’ve ever had the munchies, then you can probably relate to this bitcoin slot. The munchies here are a little unconventional though. That’s evident by the symbols that include homework, a wallet and keys that all have teeth marks in them. The lower-value symbols include the A, K, Q, J and 10 poker symbols. You’ll hear the sound of crickets chirping and mild-mannered audio effects whenever a win is triggered.
Munchkins can be played with bets that range from the low end of 0.01 to the high end of 75.
The wild can serve up some delicious delights by substituting for all other symbols except the scatter. The wild can line up on a payline to reward you with 5, 50, 1,000 or 15,000 coins with 2, 3, 4 or 5 symbols. The cream-stuffed scatter symbol can appear on any of the reels with 2, 3, 4 or 5 in any position crediting 1x, 2x, 20x or 60x. With three or more, 20 free spins are awarded with 2x multipliers.
Munchkins bitcoin slot is unfortunately not available on mobile but you can still enjoy the game on desktop.

Heather LaMarre, assistant professor of strategic communication at Temple University's School of Media and Communication in Philadelphia, says Republicans and Democrats are tapped into social media, where citizens are expressing their opinions on a platform unavailable during the last shutdown in the mid-1990s.
"You can be sure that both parties are closely monitoring the the digital public sphere, carefully measuring public sentiment and quickly adjusting their strategies in response to public perceptions," LaMarre says in a statement.
The longer the federal government shutdown goes on, the more the two political parties are stepping up their performances in a game of political theater that is risky for everyone involved, LaMarre says.
"The political posturing is getting stronger by the day as Democrats and Republicans try to win over public opinion, but if people begin to see that all essential services are still being provided and the government shutdown has not disrupted their daily lives, the Republicans stand to come out ahead, especially given the problems being experienced with the [Affordable Care Act] exchanges," LaMarre said.
LaMarre says Democrats are betting outrage over the closing of government parks and services will sway public opinion, while the GOP hopes its stand on the Affordable Care Act will ignite its supporters.

Lafarge is pleased to announce that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) of the United States of America has cleared the acquisition by Lafarge of Blue Circle Industries PLC.
This acquisition was already cleared by the European Commission on 1st March 2001 and, subject to a divestment undertaking, by the Canadian Competition Bureau on 11th April 2001.
In North America the divestment undertakings required by the Canadian Competition Bureau and by the FTC include in the Great Lakes area two cement plants (Bowmanville and St Marys), a grinding station, several cement shore terminals and various concrete, aggregates and asphalt/paving assets.
Such requirement is already largely satisfied by an agreement recently made with Votorantim for the sale of most of these assets for USD 727 million.
A lime plant in Alabama and another cement terminal in New York State are also being sold pursuant to these divestment undertakings.
As a result of the clearance of the FTC, the scheme of arrangement is expected to become effective on 11th July 2001, after the sanction of the High Court scheduled on that date. The trading of Blue Circle shares shall therefore be suspended one day before and their de-listing should take place one day after such sanction. Blue Circle shareholders are being informed through a circular requesting them to return by 6th July 2001, the form of election for the consideration to be paid for their shares. This consideration shall be received by them no later than 25th July 2001.
With the acquisition of Blue Circle, Lafarge, world leader in building materials, will also become the leading cement manufacturer worldwide with an annual capacity of over 150 million tonnes.
So the world builds better

A durable and decorative gold finish.
Widely used for plumbing fittings, sanitary ware, lighting, and many other household items. If you are looking for the quality of go gold but with a practical durability then this is the finish for you.
We have added small traces of other metals like nickel to the gold in order to tone it down and improve the hardness / durability. This has lightened the colour down from our rich “gold” colour to a more widely appreciated 18 carat shade. The colour combined with increased hardness has made this the most popular of all the finishes that we produce.
The vats are laboratory analysed and maintained in order to produce a consistent colour and ensure the hardness factor is kept at an optimum.
Here at Douglas we do not deal in “gold substitutes”, all our gold finishes contain the “real thing” and therefore always enhances the value of any products that pass through our processes.
Douglas have done nothing but a superb job. Every time I need something finishing these guys always do a top, professional job. Thanks for your all your help....more

FAMILY THREATENED ON VACATION.
HUNTED AND WITH NO CHANCE OF RESCUE.
HOW WOULD YOU SURVIVE?
An idyllic family vacation in Barbados goes terribly wrong when Torsten Dahl is spotted by the one man with reason to hate him most in all the world.
With his marriage already crumbling and his defenses down, Dahl is finding it hard to switch between the soldier's discipline and a family unit. When their hotel is attacked by gunmen they are forced to flee blindly with no phones, no ID, and no money. It gets worse when Dahl realizes his wife, two daughters and himself are being singled out and hunted down by a dangerous army that includes corrupt local authorities.
As the chase continues through Barbados's darkening streets, aboard a pirate cruise ship, and amidst a festive carnival parade, Dahl realizes there are even deeper nightmares abroad tonight. The island's prime minister is under threat. The leader of one of the world's most violent drug cartels has arrived.
And though instincts say run, hide, just survive, there is only one thing a man like Dahl will do when his wife and daughters come under direct threat.
Stand His Ground.

South America is one of the seven continents. It is south of North America and is bordered by the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. South America is known for its jungles and tropical climate. Its primary languages are Spanish and Portuguese. Brazil, Peru and Colombia are located here.
During the time he was considered a fugitive from justice, Howard Stark planned to travel to Rio de Janeiro, spending no more than three days in New York City in order to recover one of the inventions stolen from the vault under his mansion.
A group of former HYDRA scientists, seeking asylum in Peru following their defeat in World War II, developed a weapon for the Peruvian government using the Tesseract fuel cells first designed by Arnim Zola. The weapon was lost during a battle in the jungle, and ended up incrusted inside an Incan temple in the Llactapata region.
- "That photo was taken five years after Nick and I met, when I was at State Department in Bogotá."
- ―Alexander Pierce
Alexander Pierce was destined with the State Department in Bogotá, when a group of Colombian National Liberation Army members was able to take the United States embassy. Though security was able to take Pierce out safe and sound, the rebels managed to take hostages, including Pierce's daughter.
Nick Fury, deputy chief for the S.H.I.E.L.D. station in Bogotá, and whom Pierce met five years earlier, elaborated a plan to storm the building through the sewers and presented it to Pierce, who preferred to use the diplomatic path and negotiate the liberation of the hostages.
Fury ignored Pierce's direct order and carried out an unauthorized military operation on foreign soil. When the rebels, who did not intend to negotiate, put a kill order on the hostages and stormed the basement, they found it empty, as Fury had already taken the hostages out, saving the lives of a dozen political officers, including Pierce's daughter.
This particular incident made Pierce promote Fury to Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., but, on the other hand, made him realize that the path of diplomacy was useless, beginning to share HYDRA's goal of establishing a new world order.
In 2002, Phil Coulson was assigned a mission in Peru with a hundred men at his disposal. Coulson was stationed at Cusco undercover in an R.V., getting the assistance of Camilla Reyes, a member of the Policia Militar de Perú during his mission.
Hunt of Bruce Banner
General Thaddeus Ross, responsible of the hunt of Bruce Banner, figured that he could be anywhere in the world, after Banner's track was lost following an incident in the jungles of South America. Ross theorized that Banner he even could be in places such as Paris or Venice.
Unbeknownst to him, Banner traveled to Rio de Janeiro, working in a soft drink bottling factory. The Plant Manager pinpointed that he was the first American he recalled looking for a job in Brazil.
Cure for Gamma Poisoning
Bruce Banner settled in Rocinha, the largest Favela in Brazil, juggling his job in the bottling factory with attempts to find a cure for his condition. In order to control his emotions and heart rate and prevent his transformations, Banner also studied martial arts and meditative breathing techniques with a Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor. This lessons allowed him to control and prevent his transformations for five months.
Banner suffered a cut in the factory, and although he ordered to stop the machines to clean it and avoid any contamination, his blood dripped into a soda bottle sent back to the United Stated. Later that same day, Banner noticed one of his co-workers, Martina, being harassed by a man, and his first impulse was to leave to not lose control of himself. However, his conscience made him approach to peacefully try to drive the molester away. The man confronted Banner, but the Plant Manager appeared and stopped the potential fight between them.
The search for a cure for his condition drove Banner to study a flower described in the book "Inventory of Rare and Endangered Tracheophyta of Amazônia", and he finally received it that day. Banner contacted a man who helped him through his research, code named "Mister Blue", to inform him of the discovery. Blue advised him to try a high dose of the component extracted from the plant, and he was able to produce a serum using homemade laboratory equipment.
Banner tried the serum on a blood drop, and while it seemed to be successful at first, it triggered a reaction that made the cells explode. Informing Mister Blue of the failure, Blue insisted to meet Banner in person, as living with Gamma poisoning could be more dangerous than the eventual risks of their meeting, and convinced him to send a blood sample.
A few days later, Banner received news from Mister Blue, as preliminary blood tests showed significant gamma reduction, but as he asked for more data, Banner realized he should return to Culver University to retrieve it.
- "It's a possible gamma sickness. Milwaukee. A man drank one of those guarana sodas. Guess it had a little more kick than he was looking for."
"Where was it bottled?"
"Porto Verde, Brazil."
"Have our people look for a white man at the bottling plant. Tell them no contact!"
- ―Kathleen Sparr and Thaddeus Ross
General Thaddeus Ross managed to locate Bruce Banner after learning that a man in Milwaukee suffered a severe case of Gamma poisoning after drinking from the bottle that got impregnated with Banner's blood. Ross assembled a military unit led by Russian-born British special operations expert Emil Blonsky, to capture Banner.
Ross and his unit located Banner's house and burst in to shoot him with tranquilizer ammo, but Banner fled through the window and momentarily hid in Martina's house to deceive the military. Blonsky and the other soldiers pursued Banner through the streets and rooftops of Rocinha, while Banner tried to slow down his heart rate to prevent his transformation.
While fleeing Banner came across General Ross, realizing he was the man behind the chase. He also ran into the molester from the factory, who pursued Banner with his friends to the bottling factory in order to beat him. Blonsky located Banner in the factory and approached to witness the appearance of Hulk, as the transformation was triggered by the men beating him.
Hulk easily knocked out the men, and a ferocious battle between Hulk and Blonsky's team started. Their tranquilizer ammo proved ineffective against Hulk, who finally managed to escape, and Blonsky was the only soldier to end the encounter unharmed.
Ross and Blonsky returned to Banner's house to search for evidences that would indicate Banner's next step, finding a photograph of Betty Ross and Banner's computer. Blonsky asked for the nature of Hulk, and Ross confessed that Banner was that creature, without further details.
São Paulo Mission
Loki tried to taunt Romanoff mentioned some of these events during his time as a prisoner inside S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier. Loki implied that Romanoff caused a bloodshed there while she was trying to interrogate him.
In 2013, a group of archaeologists discovered an Incan temple in Llactapata and started studying its artifacts, discovering that one of them appeared to be impossible. The leader of the expedition informed the authorities about the discovery, and they dispatched a squad of soldiers from the Policia Militar de Perú under the command of Camilla Reyes in order to secure it.
S.H.I.E.L.D. also learnt about the discovery and sent one of its teams led by Phil Coulson to examine and retrieve the object. Coulson's team arrived at the area, that had presented a spike of violence due to rebels attacks, so Agents Grant Ward and Melinda May took necessary precautions to assure their safety.
Agents Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons discussed the fauna of the country upon arriving, with Fitz happy about the possibility of seeing one of the 32 species of monkeys in the country, while Simmons was more worried about the 200 species of snakes and other dangers, such as earthquakes, malaria, and dengue fever.
Skye tried to convince Coulson to warn the local communities about the danger the 0-8-4 might pose, as both rebels and guerrillas had been active in the area, but Coulson dismissed the idea citing an example of how keeping contained the information of an Anti-Matter Meteorite that was about to hit Miami helped avoid spreading panic. Her role during the mission was to create a diversion, something that was totally against Skye's philosophy.
Coulson went to interview the lead Archaeologist, who informed him about the discovery, and led them to the location of the 0-8-4 imbedded in a wall of the temple. Coulson asked the Archaeologist to evacuate the site with his team until the risk the object might pose was determined.
Fitz and Simmons started studying the item using their D.W.A.R.F.s, and Skye tried to find information about it on the internet, but there was no data stream about it. Simmons determined that, according to the fossiliferous rock formations of the wall, the item appeared to have been in the rock for 1500 years, while the temple was constructed about 500 years, and theorized its possible alien origins. On the other hand, Fitz discovered that the craftsmanship of the object was similar to German items.
Arrival of the Police Forces
Grant Ward and Melinda May briefly chatted outside the temple, about May's reputation and her nickname, the Cavalry, earned after a mission in Bahrain, but they realized they were being surrounded by Peruvian soldiers. The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents easily defeated the first ones, but they were surrounded by Camilla Reyes' squad.
Phil Coulson exited the temple to explain to the soldiers their purpose there, and recognized Reyes from a mission they performed together ten years earlier near Cusco, before Reyes' promotion to the rank of Comandante. With the situation seemingly solved, both parties lowered their weapons, and Coulson formally introduced Reyes to Ward and May, and ordered them to accompany the rest of the team.
Reyes wanted to speak to Coulson about how to proceed regarding the discovery on Peruvian soil, but Coulson let her know that an 0-8-4 superceded all national claims. Reyes lowered the tone of the conversation, and they started to catch up about what happened since their last encounter.
Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons continued to study the Peruvian 0-8-4, discovering that it had a functioning power source but the readings had no sense. Skye, confused by their terminology, intended to go outside to check on Coulson, but Ward arrived to inform them of the soldiers' arrival. Skye and Ward clashed about their opinion of the motivation that drove local rebels to fight the authorities. Ward tried to rush Fitz and Simmons in their analysis.
Reyes invited Coulson to some of what she defined as the best chocolate in the world, produced from the cocoa that grew in a secret valley in Peru, and asked for a chance to keep the device. As Coulson assured they could find a way to solve this respectfully for her country, they were attack by a group of rebels.
Local rebels attacked the excavation site, destroying vehicles with heavy gunfire and endangering the mission that Phil Coulson and his team were tasked to perform. Coulson aided Camilla Reyes and her squad in fighting back the rebels.
Grant Ward took the 0-8-4 from the wall despite Leo Fitz's warnings of how dangerous it could be if unproperly handled, and exited the temple to clear a path for his teammates. Reyes was surprised to see that Coulson's agents were not combat experts as she thought, but Ward used a Thunderstick to clear their escape path.
Melinda May arrived in the S.H.I.E.L.D. SUV, shielding her teammates from gunfire, and both the Peruvian soldiers and the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents managed to escape to the Bus, departing Peru to a S.H.I.E.L.D. containment facility despite Reyes' wish to head to a Policia Militar de Perú airfield in Iquitos.
Off the Grid
She chose that location as Coulson would probably go to South America because he spoke Spanish, though Coulson corrected her that he spoke "vacation" Spanish. May even dared to guess that Lima would be his most probable destination given his love for the growing food scene.
Assassination of Alejandro Castillo
John Garrett sent Deathlok to the city of Bogotá with the assignment of killing Alejandro Castillo, Colombia's most notorious drug lord, even despite his known ties to HYDRA, intending to make the assassination publicly known to gather the attention of the United States Armed Forces and propose to them the sale of the Deathlok Soldiers.
Having arrived at Bogotá, Deathlok tracked Castillo and pursued him, letting witnesses even take a picture of him, smashing through several walls until he reached Castillo, killing him with a single punch that smashed his head.
Cybertek sent many of its shipments related to the Centipede Project and the creation of the Deathlok Soldiers to many countries around the globe, including Brazil, in order to hamper their tracking while they were re-routed to the Barbershop Headquarters in Cuba.
Antoine Triplett managed to identify many of them, learning that their destination point was in Havana, letting Phil Coulson and his team guess where John Garrett established his base once he revealed himself as a HYDRA operative.

Tonight was a breakthrough in my process of discovering the “joy of fitness.” I was informed that in the early morning, by 6:30 am, the place is full — the fitness center . . . Who in their “right mind” would think of exercising that early in the morning. Oh actually — not any right-minded people — nope, only left-minded people. My first day at the fitness club was completely overwhelming and stimulating — sounds, bodies, TVs, machines everywhere.
The contraptions look daunting. I see an eerie similarity to a Medieval torture device. But no, these are modern engineered machinery to improve human condition and endurance. Go “figure.”
And by the way, I have to take breaks often to build my brain muscle i.e. — writing a blogpost. Tonight was a new adventure for me. I was sensing a need to try something different and this week I visualized my plan. There it was right beneath me . . . as I tread lightly on the mill. I set the speed to low, held onto the side posts — and flipped around. That was it. My mind slipped into a form of euphoria. I was treading backwards!
Don’t think that’s an easy task for someone — particularly me — who can trip and fall on a flat, dry, non-moving service while not even walking!
Can’t say I’m adept with large motor skills, but this was a breakthrough. I hadn’t been that coordinated since the days of marching band. We were expected to march in tempo, hold an instrument, count, turn on cue — and even walk backwards.

GoPro’s latest product marks a huge turning point for the action camera maker as it sees them offering a budget model once again.
After a few years of concentrating on flagship products, launching and killing off a drone and seeing its share prices drop off the map, GoPro has taken a step or two back and decided that it once again needs to offer a budget model.
GoPro is calling the new camera the Hero, and are aiming at the user who has always fancied a GoPro camera but can’t quite stomach the GoPro pricing, but with that said sub £200 action camera has a lot going for it.
Firstly, the Hero shares its body with the more expensive Hero 5 and flagship Hero 6. This means it also shares the same levels of waterproofing without the need of an additional case and also a touchscreen on the rear.
The top end features don’t end there though. Like its more expensive brother and sister, the Hero boasts voice control, electronic image stabilisation and can make use of those 1000’s of GoPro accessories that are already on the market.
Corners have had to be cut to lower the RRP of the Hero though, and it only manages to record video at a maximum resolution of 1080p @ 60fps. It also lacks advanced GPS features, faster 5Ghz Wifi protocol and will shoot still at only 10 megapixels.
However, these slightly lower specifications should result in better battery life, and will mean your SD card will be able to record more before filling up!
The GoPro Hero is listed on the GoPro website now, but you may notice that the minuscule Session range is now missing. Unfortunately, the release of the Hero means the end of the Session, with GoPro claiming that most customers require a touchscreen over a compact size.

For some reason, I’ve been inundated with customer service battles lately. Because of the ice storm, many of y’all have, too. It’s never fun. I’ve heard some pretty horrific stories about one of the big cable companies (starts with a C).
We’re battling with the U.S. Postal Service again. In the grand scheme of this life, it isn’t a big deal. My health doesn’t suffer because I didn’t get my March issue of Vogue in a timely manner. It is annoying to discover that we’ve missed a birthday party or wedding shower because we didn’t get the invite. Wait. Maybe this isn’t so bad.
The other day, our mailbox contained our neighbors’ checks, their bank statement and an envelope from The National. Based on a quick pat down, that envelope holds some pretty valuable badges. I’ve already walked them next door. I hope anyone who gets our mail is doing the same.
I’ve introduced myself to our various mail carriers. I’ve visited the post office. I’ve also called the customer service line. Nothing helps. I’ve done everything short of actually getting angry. Getting angry rarely produces any result other than, “Wow, that lady is crazy.” I’ll admit it, though: This is making me a little crazy.
I can usually negotiate with customer service reps and salespeople. I’ve had a call center job before. Their job isn’t easy, and most of the general public isn’t all that nice. While the younger me acted rather aggressively when trying to get my way, I’ve learned it doesn’t help. Sadly, many service-oriented people seem surprised by pleasant behavior. Try it. If you look them in the eyes and genuinely mean your “please” and “thank you,” you’ll get better service.
That being said, a certain firmness or gun sticking is required. Last week, a good friend was nearly duped. He was in an already vulnerable situation, dealing with a funeral home. It doesn’t matter which one. I think this was an isolated incident for this particular home, though I know things like this happen all the time. My friend, Timmy*, didn’t want to haggle with them, even though he had a prearranged contract with said funeral home. He threw up his hands and assumed they were correct.
One phone call and three or four questions later, and the funeral home realized their mistake, saving Timmy about a thousand dollars. I wasn’t mad at the salesperson — just asked them to clarify. It was worth the ask. A thousand dollars worth it. That may not be much to you, but I can think of about a thousand things I’d do with an extra thousand dollars.
I’m hoping to be as effective with the USPS. I’ve dealt with some very nice people, but they can’t seem to solve our issue. It’s been going on for two years now. I know, I know. I shouldn’t rely on the mail anyway, when I can get electronic versions. I doubt my wine of the month can be emailed. Whoever has my Publisher’s Clearinghouse prize had better fess up. There’s a small reward for any and all of my missing mail.
According to the USPS, sometimes people have days when they don’t get any mail. The last time they said that, a battered bundle of rubber-banded mail showed up 10 days later. They also told me I could mail my complaint via U.S. post, and they’d respond via U.S. post. The wonderful ladies at the Hill station tell me I need to find the zone supervisor for my route this time around. I’m optimistic. If anyone knows his/her drink of choice, let me know. I’ll come bearing a handle of tequila if it means we’ll get our mail.

Imagine Your Future As It Could Be
“All successful men and woman are big dreamers. They imagine
what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and
then they work every day towards their distant
vision, that goal and purpose.”
Brian Tracy, Self-Help Author and Motivational Speaker
As I see it . . . . . . .
Imagine your future as it could be . . . .
What you imagine your future to be . . . . is your to achieve . . . . when you believe in yourself and work hard towards achieving it.
Dream big dreams . . . . and then make every effort to turn your dreams into success stories.
Turn your dreams into goals . . . . and then take the actions on your goals to make them become a reality.
When obstacles occur on your success journey . . . . find the best way to work through them . . . . and do it with determination.
Success will be attracted to those who are willing to take the calculated risks to overcome their obstacles that stand in the way of achieving their goals and pursuing their dreams.
Imagine your future as it could be . . . . Make the choice to work toward achieving that future with passion and confidence. The key is to take action and to take action now.

This blog is written by Canadian journalist Donna Laframboise. Posts appear Monday & Wednesday.
On February 20th activist scientist Peter Gleick issued a public statement. He admitted to creating a false identity in order to steal the property (confidential documents) of a private think tank. There is a sound argument that, by doing so, Gleick has confessed to committing a federal felony called wire fraud.
According to Gleick himself, his actions demonstrated:
a serious lapse of my own and professional judgment and ethics…
In his own opinion, his “judgment was blinded,” his behaviour is something to be deeply regretted, and apologies were appropriate and necessary. In the opinion of the New York Times‘ blogger Andrew Revkin, Gleick had “admitted to an act that leaves his reputation in ruins” (for more info see here).
So how long did it take Gleick’s community to forgive and forget? A grand total of 17 days.
Not 17 years. Not 17 months. Not even 1 month. Two-and-a-half weeks later Gleick is back in the saddle.
Yesterday he delivered a speech to a two-day California Water Policy Conference. There was nothing minor or low-profile about it. The conference website clearly labels Gleick’s appearance as the opening, “keynote presentation.” Last night Gleick advised his Twitter followers that the experience had been great. Josh Rosenau, an employee at the National Center for Science Education, thought that observation so momentous he himself re-tweeted it.
So let’s think about this for a moment. Gleick has admitted to lying and stealing. Not for monetary gain, but to advance the climate change cause. Gleick is a water specialist. Presumably he also considers protecting waterways to be a good cause. So how were the conference attendees to know whether Gleick’s remarks about water were accurate and honest – or whether they were being spun and twisted by a man who, mere days ago, admitted that he can become so frustrated when trying to advance his cause, that he resorts to dishonesty?
Three hundred people were reportedly in attendance at the conference yesterday (backup link here). It’s difficult to believe that all of them are grateful for the fact that their keynote speaker was someone who remains under a cloud as we await word of whether criminal charges will be laid and whether the think tank will be filing civil lawsuits.
Among the conference sponsors we find:
In the past few weeks the California Water Policy Conference had to make a decision about whether or not to go ahead with its originally-planned keynote speaker. Its decision tells us a great deal about whether those talking about water issues in California can themselves be trusted.
Did they champion honesty and integrity? Or did they hand over their podium to a self-confessed liar and thief?

As part of a Record Store Day special way back on April 20th, we were absolutely delighted to kick off the show with Stina and Shona from Glasgow-based thrashing girl-duo Honeyblood before their set at Vox Box Records. We were treated to two new songs soaked in surf as well the terrific Super Rat which has been getting regular airtime on both on In Session and my new Scottish music show on Castle FM.
We chatted with the girls about their releases to date (a tape release on CATH Records which is now sold out), composing songs and the role of bad people, good people, and life in general which gives meaning to their songs, and the suitability of their “garage crunch-pop” label.
Before they play the T- Break stage at T In The Park, you can catch Honeyblood performing live in Glasgow on June 28th at The Old Hairdressers.
Full Session (including interview)
1. Bud (Live on In Session)
2. Super Rat (Live on In Session)
3. Kissing On You (Live on In Session)
4. Work Drugs – License To Drive (chosen by Stina and Shona)
note that the audio is different to the one in the podcast; the videos have the guitars turned up whereas the podcast has cleaner vocals. We’ve given you the option, let us know in the comments if you prefer one or the other as one version will appear on the upcoming third mixtape
Honeyblood – Bud (Live on In Session)
Honeyblood – Super Rat (Live on In Session)
Honeyblood – Kissing On You (Live on In Session)
In Session broadcasts live on Freshair.org.uk every Saturday from 6-7pm (currently on Summer hiatus) featuring a plethora of the hottest new music from the Scottish scene, a roundup of recent and upcoming gigs, and, of course, a guest performing live in the studio.

As long as you are wearing it in the right season you should do it. Like others have said, if you have the confidence, people will say that and think you are stylish, if you have no confidence, they will think you are oblivious to style.
First off, the shirt has to be perfectly tailored as Hawaiian shirts are notoriously cut way too large. Second, the shorts are going to make it really hard to pull off correctly. I think some slim chino's or linen pants would be much more believable. Good luck and I would love to see pics of the final product.

Seychelles and Bosnia and Herzegovina formalise their relations
The Republic of Seychelles has formally established diplomatic relations with Bosnia and Herzegovina yesterday in New York. Ambassador to the United Nations Marie Louise Potter initialed the document on behalf of Seychelles. The establishment of diplomatic relations seeks to promote mutual understanding and strengthening of friendship and cooperation between the two nations, guided by the principles enshrined in the United Nations Charter and in international law.
Her Excellency Ms. Mirsada Colakovic, Permanent Representative of Bosnia and Herzegovina to the United Nations signed the document on behalf of her country.
Ambassador Potter expressed Seychelles’ solidarity with the Bosnia and Herzegovina following the recent natural disaster that struck the country.
The Ambassadors discussed the potential for cooperation between the countries particularly in areas of Trade and Tourism. During the meeting Seychelles proposed to sign a Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) and Bilateral Air Services Agreement (BASA). They also sought to support in other their respective bids for the United Nations Security Council and the Human rights Council
Ambassador Colakovic acknowledged the contributions that small countries like Seychelles can bring to the Security Council, and the merits of urgent reforms that are required for the Council to fulfill its primary mandate of promoting and maintaining peace and security in the context of modern realities.
The Permanent Representative of Bosnia and Herzegovina also applauded Seychelles’ high ranking on the Human Development Index internationally and for its position in Africa in spite of having undertaken a series of difficult economic reforms.
Both Seychelles and Bosnia and Herzegovina have agreed to continue collaborating on global issues of mutual concerns.» All news

My two pups groom each other daily. The boxer cleans the big guys ears while you pet him. Not sure what that is all about - start to pet Chance, Carly comes to clean his ears.
The big guy will groom her, but only if he doesn't think you are looking. If he sees you looking, he stops. He doesn't want us to know he thinks Carly is the baby, too.

The music plays on and that’s how it is with the greats.
Tony Gwynn was just that, and is there anything left to be said regarding his passing?
Yes, especially if you’re fortunate enough to be a parent.
Gwynn’s accomplishments as a player has few peers. One could fill a column for a year on how he hit countless balls off a T, toiled in batting cages in the fading light, honed his craft like someone headed to the minors instead of the Hall of Fame.
But where did Gwynn’s drive, dedication and realization that there are no shortcuts to greatness stem?
It came from his dad and Gwynn made sure every day was Father’s Day by living his advice.
“If you work hard, good things will happen.’’
That was Charles Gwynn’s message and Gwynn never stopped drinking from that cup of knowledge. That quote is at the base of Gwynn’s statue. It’s near the foundation, of course, as those words were just that for his remarkable 20-year career.
Gwynn did the work and wanted the good. If he got a hit, he wanted two. Then two became three and if he had three, why not make it four?
Gwynn never squandered an at-bat. That would be cheating himself, and his dad, and it’s not hard deciphering which one would have hurt him more.
You sense Gwynn’s love for his father through his affection for his son, Tony Gwynn, Jr.
We’re reminded of that by Trevor Hoffman, another Padres icon not adverse to sweat.
“I remember seeing Anthony as an 8-, 9-, 10-year-old boy in the locker room and him looking up to his dad,’’ Hoffman said. “He wanted to learn so much. He was appreciative to be in the clubhouse and watching Tony be respective of the clubhouse.
“Yet Tony was giving Anthony a platform to spread his wings, be an individual and learn the game of baseball from one of the greats.’’
There’s no greater responsibility than raising a child. While most point to Gwynn’s astounding statistics, it’s the No. 2 he’s most proud of: his son, and Anisha, his daughter.
Gwynn loved yapping, that’s a given. But mention his son winding his way through the minors or daughter’s singing career and it was an automatic 15 minutes of GT — Gwynn Talk.
Their stars where shinning on their own and their superstar father swelled with pride.
Watching Gwynn swing a bat made us think we could do it; his stroke was so effortless and easy.
Then you contemplate trying differentiate a 95 mph fastball from a 12-to-6 curveball and good luck with that.
You couldn’t do it and that was as plain as the grin on Gwynn’s face.
But if you’re a parent, or a role model for a kid, you can BLT — Be Like Tony.
“It was great to be able to hear so many great words spoken about the man versus the ballplayer,’’ said Rancho Santa Fe’s Hoffman, when reflecting on Gwynn’s tribute.
“It is a rarity when there’s such talk about someone in his rarefied area as a ballplayer. There usually is a deficit in one area or the other. That wasn’t the case with Tony.’’
The same can be said of Hoffman, whose had the torch of being the Padres’ most noted ex-player passed to him.
Hoffman has the Gwynn gift, too.
He’s more proud of his three sons than any of his 601 saves. He said as much in his speech on that somber night, how he and his wife, Tracy, had their role models as parents in Tony and Alicia.
Gwynn handled his offspring as well as his 31-ounce bat.
You can be a hit by keeping Gwynn alive by furthering his appreciation for children.
“Any man would want their legacy to be about being humble, a great husband and a great father,’’ Hoffman said.
Which brings us back to music and isn’t how this column started? Hoffman never shook Charles Gwynn’s hand but he felt his beat.
“The one connection I probably had was his dad loved jazz,’’ said Hoffman, whose dad, Ed, was a musician. “I think Tony got a little tired of the rock ‘n’ roll we played in the locker room.
“He handed me a CD one time that was a compilation of a bunch of modern jazz and it’s still one of my favorites.’’
Gwynn’s gone. But he left behind more than what is on the back of his baseball card.

5 Reasons Why Cats Nurse on Blankets or Clothing
Have you ever had a cat who nursed on everything in sight? I never have, but in some ways I almost kind of wish I had. There’s something ridiculously cute about watching a cat knead and suck on blankets while purring his fool head off. Need proof? Check out this video!
Of course, if you live with a blanket or clothing sucker, I’m sure it’s not nearly as cute to you. If you’ve suffered from kitty spit-soaked bedding or ruined sweaters, I totally get that you’d probably trade your wool sucker for one of my feline family members.
You’ve probably also wondered why on earth cats get so excited about wool sucking. Well, wonder no more. Here are some of the most common beliefs about the origins of this behavior.
1. Early separation from the mother
This theory makes sense in some Freudian way, but I’m not sure it holds water. I adopted my cat, Siouxsie, and her twin sister when they were just six weeks old because back then I didn’t know kittens should be kept with their mothers for at least eight weeks. Neither Siouxsie nor Sinéad ever sucked fabric, though. I don’t know many orphaned “bottle baby” kittens, so I don’t know if this behavior is more common for them than for other cats.
2. The breed factor
Siamese and other Oriental breed cats are more likely to nurse fabric than other cats. Although there doesn’t seem to be any genetic cause for this, it’s well known that Oriental breed cats require a longer weaning period than most others.
3. A method for relaxation
Like thumb sucking in little children, nursing wool is a behavior that provides a sense of comfort and safety. A sensitive kitten may grow up into a fabric-sucking cat because that behavior reminds her of being safe and surrounded by her mother and littermates.
4. A demonstration of trust
If your cat takes to sitting in your lap and nursing your clothes, she’s showing you that she feels complete faith in your ability to protect her from harm. It takes a lot of concentration to nurse, and it would be hard for her to focus that intensely if she didn’t feel safe.
5. A way to cope with overwhelming stress
It seems counterintuitive that nursing behavior could show total trust or total freak-out anxiety, but it’s true. When a cat starts using behavior that reminds her of the safety of her kittenhood as way to comfort herself when she occasionally feels stressed, that’s cute. But when anxiety pervades every aspect of her life to the point where she’s suckling constantly in an attempt to self-soothe, that’s a problem.
So, what should you do if your cat is suckling on fabric and you’re concerned about it? First, you’ll need to get to the root of the stresses in her life and try to resolve them. Add vertical and horizontal territory for your cat, use interactive play as a tool to help her gain confidence, and perhaps even give her a short course of anti-anxiety medication to keep her from getting triggered into the nursing behavior when she feels stressed.
Have you had a fabric-sucking cat? Do you think it’s cute or icky? Do you know what caused it? What, if anything, did you do about it? Share your thoughts in the comments.

When Yari Sacco first arrived in Toronto for a six-month stay from Italy, the only person he knew was an uncle living in Oshawa with his family. But within the first couple of weeks, he had already begun to build up an extensive network of friends – artists, musicians, photographers, dancers, and other Italians living and working at the heart of Toronto’s creative life.
This is typical of Yari. The Italian-born photographer travels incessantly, almost compulsively, and he’s developed a knack for picking up friends as easily as he picks up languages (“After the first one it’s easier,” he says. “Your brain is working to learn something different.”)
As a result, he speaks not just Italian, but also Spanish, English and sprinklings of French, something he began to learn after he arrived in Canada in January. In fact, his former French teacher, Vincent – himself in the city on a one-year work visa with his girlfriend – soon became a part of his circle of friends in the city.
It’s natural that he is drawn to creative types because he is an artist himself. His university degree is in Fine Art, with a focus on painting. He has also been to all the major museums of art and history in Rome, Paris, Bilboa, Madrid, Barcelona and London.
But he admits that doesn’t like to paint.
“Because painting it’s very old, everything is done, with painting,” he says. “All the same style. Sometimes it’s abstract, but abstract was made in 1920 by Kandinsky. So why you make abstract now? Nothing change. If I paint Expressionism, like the painters during the 50s, it’s same. So with paintings you can create, you can make the same style that other painters they already make before, like pop art, or Realism, Surrealism. If I make a Surrealist painting like Dali, it’s nothing different, you’re just copying. It’s like a remake, like music.”
For Yari, his true sense of his place in art began when his father gave him a camera and he started to take photographs, initially blending them with his painting in collage-style art, before switching over entirely to photography. This was where he found his vision.
“It’s not just for the time, that it’s faster or what, it’s for the concept,” he says. “What image, what I have in my mind I can express with photography, I don’t need painting.”
He came to Toronto after a year of studying Photography at Escuela Arte Granada, in Granada, Spain, but that wasn’t the first place his photography took him.
Yari has hiked in the jungles of Thailand, photographed street life in Morocco, thrown all-night raves in Granada, and walked the pristine beaches of Guadeloupe. He’s photographed centuries-old architecture in his hometown of Calabria, and more recently, street festivals in Toronto. He has travelled all over Europe – Portugal, Spain, Greece, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, the U.K. and the Czech Republic – and through it all his camera has served as a living document of his explorations.
To many, and indeed to this writer, his life sounds glamorous, something to be envied by those bound to their own lives. But he is bluntly pragmatic about the instability of being an itinerant artist.
“Somebody else chose that we have to live with money, so you have to live with money, now. And sometimes here I was living with ten dollars a day. It was not easy.” Continue reading

Gotta be uncharacteristically quick and dirty on with this roundup, ’cause Tahoe be callin’, and we’re definitely not screening our calls for that one. In other news…
– Want a designer shopping fix? Noe Valley’s Cary Lane is having one of its every-so-often 40 percent off sales. It’s a great way to get some sweet deals – the merch is already marked down, so another 40 percent often makes the final price crazily low. We were pretty floored at some of the offerings one time we stopped in during just such a weekend sale. Good through Sunday.
– The spring collection from Bryna Nicole has launched.
– Grab Bags are back and more mysterious than ever at HomeRoom Clothing. For $219, you get a back filled with tons of merch, valued at up to $2,000.

Want to create and automatically mount Windows 7 shares in Ubuntu? Well, this brief tutorial is going to show you how to do just that. If you have both Windows and Ubuntu machines and you want to easily access files and folders on your Windows machine then file sharing is something you’ll want to enable. This tutorial assumes that both machines are on the same LAN (switch) and that both machines are able to ping (communicate with) each other. Without that, this is not going to work. This first step will be to create a share in Windows. Then we’ll install samba packages in Ubuntu and finally enable file shares.
- Create and automatically mount Windows shares in Ubuntu 12.04
To get started, start Windows 7 and click Start –> right-click ‘Computer’ and select ‘Manage’
Then expand ‘Share Folders’ and right-click on Shares and select ‘New Share..’
Then select the folder you wish to share by browsing to it. When done, click ‘Next’
Next, take notes of the share path. This is how you can get to this share from a remote location.
Next, set the permissions on the folder you’re sharing. Finally click ‘Finish’.
After that, search for ‘Manage advanced sharing settings’
And make sure sure to ‘Turn on file and printer sharing’
Save and you’re done.
On your Ubuntu machine, press Ctrl – Alt – T to open terminal. When terminal opens, run the commands below to install samba smbfs package.
sudo apt-get install smbfs
Next, create a Windows folder in your home directory by running the commands below.mkdir ~/Windows
After that, run the commands below to open fstab config file.sudo gedit /etc/fstab
Then add the line below at the bottom of the file and save.//Windows_Computer/Share /home/<username>/Windows cifs uid=<ubuntu_username>,user=<Windows_username>,pasword=<Widnows_Password> 0 0
Restart both computer, Windows machine first, then Ubuntu and go to your home directory to view your Windows content.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The eastern population of the Steller sea lion will be taken off the threatened species list, a federal agency announced last week.
The sea lions, whose range stretches from Alaska's Panhandle to California's Channel Islands, are the first animal to be delisted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in 19 years.
The agency earlier this year recommended delisting the eastern population of the Steller sea lions, an action sought by the states of Alaska, Washington and Oregon. Commercial fishermen also protested fishing regulations because of the listing.
"We're delighted to see the recovery of the eastern population of Steller sea lions," Jim Balsiger, administrator of NOAA Fisheries' Alaska Region, said in a statement announcing the delisting.
The delisting does not affect the threatened status of the western population of the Stellar sea lions, whose range goes from Cape Suckling, Alaska, to Russian waters.
The agency estimated there were about 18,000 animals in the eastern population in 1979, and the population was listed as threatened in 1990. In 2010 the agency estimated just over 70,000 sea lions.

just a quick update, i have a new phone.
it has a qwerty keyboard, like the one my mother washed.It's quite nice, but i much prefer the one which was washed, as it had colour on! (pink) this one is just black, it's still pretty groovy. & i went to get my sister from school, and i had my uniform on and a cardi, not hood or umberella, an well it rained.. when we got home we were soaked! It was pretty funny, we walked into a little newsagents so my sister could get a 20p pix up ^^ an the people in the shop laughed at us! it must have been pretty funny, honestly it looked as if we had gone into a swimming pool with all of out clothes on. I have loads of homework and revision to do over the weekend. On monday i have an exam :l we did a plan today, the task is to write an article to persuade people of an animal welfare issue, i hate when we have to write about thinks like this, i hate finding out about it, i know its actually a problem out there, but i feel so bad. I'm writing about unwanted pets. My headline at the moment is ' DONT FORGET THE SHELTERS!' it's a bit rubbish i need to think of something better, hopefully i will. I got pretty emotion whilst reading about this unwanted pets issue, i couldn't believe the statistics. i have nothing else to say.
i have started some research for my next photography post, i shall try to finish it this weekend, only trouble is i have so much homework and revision to do, and i'd get in so much trouble if my mum found out this blog was getting in the way of my school work.
till next time.
yes, i know i have a bum chin :(

9 Great Items Of Sex Furniture For Your Home Or The Dungeon
Embracing intercourse furniture is an idea that is great you wish to bring intercourse one step further or just find more convenience during sex and doll play.
The actual problem is the fact that you will find lots of choices to pick from, with just hardly any products being really worth every penny into the run that is long. Then comes the undeniable fact that these, usually bulky, things have a tendency to just take a large amount of space also. Continue reading

Nouri has 'serious' brain damage
Ajax Amsterdam midfielder Abdelhak Nouri, who collapsed during a friendly on Sunday, has been diagnosed with "serious and permanent" brain damage.
The 20-year-old has no chance of a full recovery, the club said yesterday.
The Dutch youth international's heart stopped while playing in a pre-season friendly against Werder Bremen in Austria.
He was revived on the pitch and airlifted to hospital, but Ajax have confirmed that although his heart is working normally, he has lost function in parts of his brain.
"The chances of recovery of these crucial brain functions is nil," the club said on their website. "This was probably due to a lack of oxygen supply to his brain."
Nouri, who made 15 appearances for Ajax last season, will be transferred to Amsterdam.
"We feel enormously for his parents, siblings and other relatives," Ajax director Edwin van der Sar said. "Their suffering is impossible to describe." - REUTERS

While high-profile hacking and infamous data breaches have raised security awareness this year, it remains to be seen whether or not IT security on the whole will improve.
While hacker groups like Anonymous and LulzSec have waged very public campaigns against corporations and governments, security vendors and solutions providers have struggled to stay ahead of the curve of new attacks, cyber-crime schemes and malware.
Has the flood of cyber-attacks truly raised awareness about the lack of IT security in both the public and private sector? Or are corporations and governments still woefully behind in protecting themselves from current threats? And how are VARs and vendors capitalizing on the rash of cyber-attacks this year?
CRN editors Stefanie Hoffman and Rob Wright discuss these questions and more in the latest CRN Podcast, which explores the current state of IT security.

We've shown you how to make authentic NYC pizza, but you had to hack an oven for the best results. Now there's a method for near-perfection with just a minute and 35 seconds of broiling.
Photo by The Paupered Chef.
At the Serious Eats blog, the Paupered Chef preaches about pie perfection. He agrees that the point of failure for homemade pizza tends to be the crust, because unless you've built your own pizza oven, odds are that you won't get the heat necessary from your standard oven for that straight-from-the-corner-pizzeria crispy-yet-chewy edge.
But wait! Don't throw out the pizza dough just yet, because the Paupered Chef has a solution:
The only equipment you'll need is a cast-iron skillet and your oven's broiler. You'll preheat the skillet on the stove over the highest possible heat for 20 minutes, then put the pan under the broiler upside down. A pizza slides on top of the pan's underside, and goes under the broiler for just 1 minute and 35 seconds. It comes out cooked through and bubbling, with artfully charred edges and crust and a chewy inside. And you'll be amazed.
As with any makeshift method, there are some limitations: your pizza can only be as big as your pan, so you're more likely to make personal size pizzas rather than the traditional 18-inch "large" pies. But with something this tasty, why would you want to share to begin with?
What are some of your favorite pizza hacks? Do you have a favorite topping combination? Tell us in the comments and, while you're at it, try to convince this intern that there is something better than a pepperoni/bacon/mushroom topping combination.

We’re driving back up the PCH to Monterey tonight–let’s get into it. This recap was a day late chiefly because I spent all of Sunday drinking$ 5 Cosmopolitans for pride, which entails I expend all of Monday asking myself why did you do that do that do that to me?
It’s Madeline’s turn to have a nightmare, which I guess constructs sense cause a) slaying and b) it’s apparently Halloween! I forgot that climate isn’t a thing in Monterey. She’s also now smoking, serving us big aim of Grease Sandy Energy. On top of that, Renata is simultaneously scheming her insolvency tribunal hearing and also her daughter’s birthday.? Por que no los dos?
Naturally, Mary Louise arrives with a cake and her chompers–in no way are those her real teeth, right? Uh oh, Mary Tyler Moore has a new Rhoda in township, and it’s M.L. who is moving into Jane’s building. Survey says she’s doing that to be closer to Ziggy and not cause it’s the only property in Monterey. Kind of like when Taylor Swift bought a house in Rhode Island to be closer to the Kennedys. Throwback!
Giving Madeline a breach, Celeste is now verbally sparring with Mary Louse until IT BECOMES PHYSICAL SPARRING WHAT IS HAPPENING. Celeste hits with a slap hear’ round the world after Mary Louise says she feels Jane wasn’t raped and Perry only was looking for anyone outside of their matrimony.
This scene of course ends with Madeline in her gorgeous kitchen, complaining to Ed about how people should be more considerate when planning parties( “we all have calendar apps on our f* cking phone”) and can I just say, preach?
Longing Looks At the Water: 2
In between scenes, we find Bonnie also staring at the water and Jane inviting her school yard crush to the disco party, an epoch he 1000% learned about during AP U.S. History last year.
Celeste, Bonnie, Madeline, and Renata all have the same calendar. pic.twitter.com/ s4igIkd7Jm
— bobby finger (@ bobbyfinger) July 1, 2019
All The Tense Coffee Dates
Mary Louise satisfies with Celeste and calls her unwell, conveying concerns about her grandchildren. I’m sorry, but is Celeste’s style inspiration Taylor Swift’s Red era with these whispy framed-bangs and coat? Mary Louise brings up that her husband left her and she had to learn how to cope–a fact that hmm …I’m not that sold on.
Over at Madeline’s, she tries to plan a couple’s workshop while Ed is still dedicate us Sulking Kid Who’s Grounded. Chloe, still being a 28 -year-old social media administrator in a child’s body, makes an’ opposites’ project for school where she says her mom is the opposite of a doorway because she’s unhinged. Snaps for Chloe and her future career on Thought Catalog.
Bankruptcy Is So In Right Now
The assets are being drawn up to get put on the line. Renata is still give us all the lines that would end up on T-Shirts for the Women’s March: “ I’m self-made.” She then get judged for getting botox, which, hey , not fair. On top of that, she needs to give up her Rolex and wedding ring right on the table — which I guess shows the practicality of belly rings in times like this. Impossible to see! And now their Tesla is traded for a taxi outside of the court house. Ouch.
Who Is This Theme Party For?
Amabella’s party is here and it’s disco themed, which I can’t imagine she picked. The moms have gone all out for this party, because when you’re 40 all you want to do is get ready for a topic party, apparently? While Renata is serving a disco bash, Mary Louise is planning on filing for guardianship of her grandkids–and make-up sure Celeste doesn’t have a lawyer to choose from to get her back. Back at Studio 54, Celeste and Bonnie are regretting the lie and saying Madeline is to blame for commence it. Very happy my major lies only including eating the rest of my roommate’s hummus and saying, “hmm no clue where it went.”
While they fight over gorgeous champagne flutes, we watch Ammabella having a slow dance and her dress is … literally the same as Renata’s. This is truly some Gypsy Rose Lee sh* t up in here, but I guess the Roman Empire was having a BOGO deal. Ugh, it’s hard to see Renata addressing how all of this will affect her daughter–and can I just say F* CK GORDON.
Jane is dancing with her date, which is kind of weird because the dance floor is like, only the kids–but then again, he prob is in the same history class as most of them. She’s happy, but then the second they get a little closer, she gets a flashback to the night of her attack.
Bonnie gets #ConfrontedOnTheDanceFloor by her mom, with her mama saying she doesn’t like the energy around her. Raise your hand if you have gone up to one of your friends at 2:30 AM after a vodka Redbull and said the exact same thing.
Nathan and Ed then do what any human would, which is fight in’ 70 s costumes at a child’s birthday party. THIS IS ABOUT HAPPINESS !! Coincidentally, that’s exactly what I shout at my brunch waiter when they say the two hours of the unlimited option is over.
No eight-year-old’s birthday party is complete without a disco dance reveal by who I can only imagine is Boyz II Monterey. They’re setting the mood for Bonnie and Ed, though.
Jane opens up to her boy about her past trauma, and he is super supportive of her…which merely constructs me feel like he can’t be trusted, because this is Big Little Lies .
Alexa, Play’ Fallingwater’
Bonnie’s mom has flashings of water visions and then faints. We’re at research hospitals, and it turns out Elizabeth had a stroke, and we find out that the last thing she saw before were flashings of water.
Madeline and Ed are home, and he’s drinking the classic Sad Boi Night Cap: an IPA. Jane and Celeste are now out at a bar, and I do love how their bond has been strengthened. Celeste remains for another drink alone, cause she’s a girl after my own heart.
Back at the hospital, Bonnie is looking over her mom as her daddy asks if she said anything to her mama to induce her stroke–nice papa!
Mary Louise is now eating stretchy cheese pizza that straight up looks like it’s from Chuck-E-Cheese–a place that Meryl Streep 200% doesn’t know exists. Honestly, she looks like a mess right now too. Why did the wardrobe department decide to give her a J.Jill cardigan, but then a men’s Old Navy top?
Jane goes to meet Bonnie at research hospitals, which is perfect because she caught her just as she was about to rip into the detective on their case. Does this detective have anything else to do but walk around Monterey drinking coffee? Dream job TBH.
Ambien Cool, Not All Uncool
Mary Louise brings the kids home first thing in the AM and Celeste seems…off. At first you can’t tell if she’s high, drunk, or sick( I can relate to that every Sunday morning ), until you realize that she definitely took another Ambien. She’s being very Countess LuAnn, owning it! I’m happy Heather Thomson wasn’t in their home because OH YEAH, CELESTE TOOK THE BARTENDER HOME. Wow that might have been one of the most awkward scenes in history, mixed in with a hot af flashbacks of them hooking up.
She confesses to Madeline that she did in fact take Ambien and didn’t remember he was in the house, which is so scary. Celeste, simply try melatonin or chamomile tea, please. Madeline is the true MVP of friends because her first response was “she shouldn’t have fallen the kids off that early, you have your own life.” And just like clockwork, Mary Louise reappears.
She confronts Celeste about how she feels she is a mess and shouldn’t be watching over the kids. This is going to get messy. Yeah, they’re at risk with Celeste, but were totally just fine with their abusive parent.
Renata’s Sweater Is Off The Deep End
What would happen if Ann Taylor had a one-night stand with Hot Topic and then find its route to California? The answer is Renata’s sweater. What is happening here? I guess when she tried to give this one to the bankruptcy court they were like … actually you can keep that. They’re sharing avocado toast( who shares toast ?) and catching up about Celeste when, you guessed it! Our detective is back, drinking coffee, and just…theorizing! Nancy Drew could never be this caffeinated.
Jane then goes to see Mary Louise because she’s worried that she’s just being a Pokemon Grandma, catching them all. She calms her down by voicing concerns about Celeste, which Jane pauses to consider. Instead of borrowing sugar from your neighbor in Monterey, you borrow theories about your friends. Kinda into it.
THE THERAPIST IS HERE !! And she’s assuring Celeste that she has doctor-patient confidentiality. Of course the true star of this reveal would have been able to her back.
Elizabeth eventually wakes up and we see that she has a vision of Bonnie killing herself in the ocean, which, sadly, could definitely be where this season is headed. Hopefully she’ll be able to help her and they can all go to another yoga retreat. Until next week!

Ever go through something because of a bad decision/situation and promise yourself you’ll never do it again? Only to realize mere weeks later you’re doing the same thing all over again? After some self-reflection, I found that I do it more than I’d like to admit.
Perfect scenario? Remember how I scratched my right eye a few weeks ago by not taking my contacts out? And I said I was going to take care of myself better? Well, guess what? I did it again – this time to the left eye. On the weekend before I had to fly to Kentucky for a customer meeting. Let me tell you – being in a room full of suits and trying to look professional, pay attention, and keep your eye from freaking out is not easy. Not sure how well I sold it, but I sure tried. My eye was red, angry and it hurt. Nothing like looking you shot up in one eye while trying to present corporate strategy, but hey. We got through it.
Today my poor eye is far less red, but it is still slightly blurry. I may need that eye patch after all 😉
Most of these lessons we go through are not just physical. For me, it’s usually a mental or emotional road I find myself going back down when prior experiences had already proven it was a bad idea. And what do I do? Do it all over again – but it looks or acts “different” so that makes it okay. Right? Yeah, nope. Not usually.
Buy why do we do these things over and over again? (Honestly, I’m hoping it’s not just me over here screwing up repeatedly). For me, it’s because maybe it feels good. Or sometimes it seems like the right thing and that makes it okay. Other times, we totally know it’s a bad idea and we do it anyway. Because it strokes our ego or makes us feel okay – or whatever.
For me, I usually have to go through things at least three times before I somewhat learn the lesson. (Sincerely hope I get my act together on this eye situation btw. Not going through this one a third friggin’ time). Most of the time it’s because I can’t see for looking. Or what’s right in front of my face. But honestly? Sometimes I don’t want to see it. Because I want whatever it is to go down. Then – you guessed it – it doesn’t always end well.
Most of the time it comes down to doing the right thing. Even though it hurts. And it’s hard. And it doesn’t feel good. But I’ll tell you this – it’s a hell of a lot better than doing something wrong willingly and then suffering the consequences. I’ve been there. And it sucks. Especially when that lesson took a long time to learn.
But where would we be without a little self-reflection? (Not self-degradation- please don’t do that.) Learn what you can from your situations and move on. That’s why we go through stuff – to learn from it. How you apply that lesson is what ends up shaping your character- and how you’ll respond the next time. Is it easy? Nope. Does it feel good? Hell no. But if you are honest with yourself, it will end up making you stronger and you may just make a better decision the next time.

Mike Rusten grew up in Plymouth, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis. God drew him to himself at a Billy Graham crusade when Mike was a junior high boy, and life was never to be the same. He graduated from Princeton University where he was president of the Princeton Evangelical Fellowship. There he majored in psychology, receiving honorable mention for the university’s Psychology Prize. He then received an M.A. from the University of Minnesota. His next degree was an M.Div. from Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia. This was followed by a Th.M. from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. His Ph.D. is from New York University where he wrote his doctoral dissertation on the book of Revelation. Along the way Mike also attended Dallas Theological Seminary and Jerusalem University College.
Mike and his wife Sharon have two children. Their daughter Marta MacDougall is a clinical psychologist at the V.A. Hospital in Philadelphia. Their son Mark is an ear, nose, and throat physician in Paducah, Kentucky. Marta, Mark, and their spouses have presented Mike and Sharon with four delightful grandchildren.
After finishing his class work at New York University, Mike served as the Assistant Pastor at Calvary Memorial Church in Orono, Minnesota. Then life began to take surprising turns. God opened the doors for him to become the owner of Cascade Lodge near Grand Marais, Minnesota which Mike operated with his father-in-law as a Christian resort. While still owning the resort, Mike started a Christian greeting card company, Morning Star. It grew to be listed in the Inc. 500 and Mike was elected to the Board of Directors of the Christian Booksellers Association. After selling the resort and the greeting card company, life took another unexpected turn as Mike became involved in electoral politics. He was the National Coordinator for the Freedom Council, the predecessor of the Christian Coalition. Then in each presidential election from 1988 to 2000 Mike was on the campaign staff of one of the candidates for president. During this time Mike also served for three and a half years as the director of adult education at Church of the Open Door, a church of 6,000 now located in Maple Grove, Minnesota.
Mike and Sharon have been members of Bethlehem Baptist since 1997. During that time they have written two books together. Mike joined the staff of The Bethlehem Institute (now Bethlehem College and Seminary) in 2003. He brought INSIGHT, the college’s first year program before the launch of CWIC, to Bethlehem and now is the director of the college’s Degree Completion Program.

Hey all. I am not sure if anyone is interested, but I am trying to get some 32's for my XJ. I have 33's on it now, but I need those for the TJ, plus the 32's will give me a little more room in the wheel wells.
Anyway, I have a set of 4 BFG M/T's, 31x10.50x15 mounted on black steel wheels that I am looking to trade for some 32x11.50x15's. The 31's have about 80% tread on 3 of the tires, but one was worn out more than the others because of a bad alignment issue. I tried to rotate it better, but I waited too long. Because of this, the 4th tire is about 50-60%- still good tread though. I will trade with wheels or without, depending on your preference or the 32's condition. If I could get 32's mounted, then all the better.
So, I'm looking for some 32x11.50x15 MT's to trade or trade + $$. Let me know what you have and if you have pics. I also have pics of the 31's showing the tread, but here's a couple pics for now to show the tread a little as well as the wheel.

Who to Call When Searching Pressure Washing Company Near Me Charlotte NC
When searching for a professional pressure washing company in Charlotte, North Carolina, and surrounding areas, make sure to perform your due diligence prior to hiring just anyone. If you hire the wrong company, you may end up with serious regrets. Take the time to check their online reviews. Make sure they’re insured and aren’t simply a “fly by night” company. There’s a fine line between too much and too little pressure when it comes to cleaning certain surfaces. Too much pressure can damage your deck or paver patio and walkways. Too little pressure won’t clean the surfaces sufficiently.

This is a very common question and nobody seems to know the exact answer. At Renew Crew of Charlotte, we begin by applying our proprietary cleaning solution that’s designed to bring the discoloring agents from the interior of your deck’s wood to the surface. We’ll then agitate them using a brush until all those discoloring agents are on the surface. Next, we’ll gently rinse away those discoloring agents, making sure to use the correct amount of pressure that will guarantee that your deck’s wood isn’t damaged. After your deck has been cleaned and we’ve pressure washed away the discoloring agents, your wood will look like it just came from the lumber yard.
After we’ve cleaned your deck’s wood surfaces and your deck has completely dried, we’ll come back and apply our stain/sealant solution that’s designed to keep your deck looking new for years to come. In addition to giving your deck that new look, it will protect it from UV rays, water damage, dirt, grime, mold and foot traffic. It’s our 3-step process that separates us from all other pressure washing companies in Charlotte, NC, and surrounding areas.

Last week I missed Friday photos completely but this week I have enough for two weeks so I’m now ahead of myself without using the TARDIS.
This first one was taken last Friday night for Friday photos.
A fairly basic typo but when I saw it I smiled as it meant I had something for today.
I’ll be posting this one to #errantapostrophe. The Panda says apostrophes don’t like being left out.
Edit: It’s just been pointed out to me I misread this poster. Thank goodness I didn’t get around to posting to #errantapostrophe

Island overviewGeologist tell us that the Big Island of Hawaii first emerged from the sea about 700,000 years ago yet it rises from it's base in the central Pacific basin higher than any other mountain chain in the world - yes higher even than Everest! If you count the distance that the earth's crust has been pushed down by the enourmous weight of the island, the true height of the island of Hawaii is about 56,000 feet!(An admittedly dubious criteria but if you hear a figure cited in this range, you will know how it was derived.) From the bottom of the ocean, the distance is more like 32,000 feet, and even that makes The Big Island the highest in the world.
The Big Island has another unique claim-to-fame in that the current active cone, Pu'u O'o in the Kilauea area has been in continuous eruption for 23 years and shows no signs of stopping any time soon. The vent is in a continuous state of destruction and rebuilding and it's elevation changes as magma wells up and subsides in cycles but the generally accepted elevation for the Kilauea area is 4,091'. The elevation of the new cone, Pu'u O'o, literally changes by the day and is about 2,900' at present.
Pu'u O'o is the current active vent on Hawaii. This photo taken from the end of the jungle trail that leads to the peak. (above)
Like the rest of the Hawaiian island chain, The Big Island is a shield volcano, characterized by the hot, fluid lavas that flow down it's broad, relatively gentle slopes, resembling a warrior's shield laying convex side up on the ground.
Besides Kilauea, there are four more distinct volcanos merging to form the inland. The current high point, Mauna Kea, at 13,796' rises to a summit area studded with an array of major telescopes - and cinder cones. Adjacent, and to the south lies the broad-based Mauna Loa, at 13,677', currently the largest volcano and also the most massive mountain in the world.
To the NW of Mauna Loa, at 8,271', Hualalai rises over the town of Kailua-Kona. Last active in 1800-1801 the black landscape of its most recent eruption greets visitors approaching by air into the Kona Airport.
To the NNW of Mauna Kea is the extinct Kohala Mountains at about 5,500'. (no benchmark - had to extrapolate!) Kohala last erupted about 60,000 years ago and likely formed the first land that eventually became the Big Island of Hawaii.
There is now a new volcano erupting on the seafloor a few miles off the south shore of Hawaii called Lohihi. This seamount is currently about 3,000 feet below the sea surface and was last active in 1996. At its present rate of
growth geologists say it will emerge from the sea to become yet another Hawaiian island in about 50,000 years. (Of course, it could also merge with the rest of the island.) This estimate could, of course, change dramatically in short order should the activity accelerate.
Each of the Big Island's mountains are unique and distinct and each presents unique problems to those who would aspire to reach the summits.
In addition to the five major volcanic areas on the island are numerous smaller mountains and hills ("pu'u", in Hawaiian) studding the landscape, the largest of which is the picturesque Pu'u Waawaa on the NE flank of Hualalai.

Camping Trade Show Exhibits – For the Latest and Greatest Camping Gear
Those who said that it takes a lot of money to enjoy a vacation with your family probably haven’t tried going camping. People who love to go out of their house and do some outdoor activities with family and friends should consider camping. There is always a camping experience that is meant for everybody. Those who want to be alone with nature or those who want to experience the beauty and wonders of environment can always find camping fun and relaxing.
People who have already gone camping at least once in their lifetime are already aware of the importance of having the right camping equipment or tools. Although the idea of being one with nature should require less of your daily equipment and gadgets, having those that are essential to make the camping experience fun and memorable are necessary. Amenities or tools such as a tent, sleeping bag, backpack, camping stove for cooking, flashlights, multi-purpose knife, food and water containers are some of the things campers would always consider bringing with them.
Those who want to prepare for another camping adventure or their first camping trip can find those equipment from malls and shopping centers that specialize in selling camping equipment. You will find that there are lots of equipment that you can bring with you to make your camping experience less stressful and more enjoyable.
Camping Trade Show Exhibits
However, because of the many tools and equipment that shopping centers and shops can present in front of you, choosing the right camping tools might not be that easy. This is the reason why some seasoned campers would rather go to camping trade shows rather than flocking to shopping malls. Most of these campers believe that it is no longer fun to bring almost everything that you can find at home. Carrying everything you want to bring will slow you down and will just be very stressful.
Being in trade shows can make your camping experience better and more enjoyable since you don’t have to go to different shops and stores to buy your camping equipment. These trade shows also bring with them their best priced products and the most important equipment a camper must have in his backpack. The options are also vast since you can find different companies and people selling camping tools in one place. No wonder campers find trade shows as great opportunities to find the proper tools for camping.
Trade shows are not only good for the companies and people who join in the selling. People who are visiting the shows also find these trade shows and fairs as an opportunity to buy the right things and often at cheaper prices.
Camping Trade Shows Near You
So if you are still not complete with your camping gears and tools, check out those camping trade shows near you in the UK or in North America. Do yourself a favor and save yourself from the trouble of figuring out what camping equipment to bring. You can narrow down your options to that basic and important stuff by going to trade shows.
If you are selling your camping brand or equipment why not do so at a camping exhibition? Here is a company that specializes in trade show exhibits stands you can rent/buy in the USA.

For many years, we have known that smoking is bad for our health. Evidence suggests smoking tobacco significantly increases the risk of lung cancer, often leading to premature death. It also increases the risk of many chronic diseases (1).
At C3 Collaborating for Health, smoking cessation is one of the key behaviour changes we promote to address the escalating non-communicable disease epidemic. In support of No Smoking Day on Wednesday 13th March 2019, we thought it pertinent to summarise what progress the UK has made so far in the field of smoking cessation, and highlight what actions are currently in force to reducing smoking rates further.
The current landscape
In the UK, the number of people who smoke regularly is now at a record low, with 15.1% of the UK population reporting themselves as regular smokers (2). This has decreased from 20.2% since 2011 (1). The number of young people who smoke has also decreased, with 8% of 15 year olds admitting to regularly smoking in 2016 (3). However in spite of these trends, there remains a strong association between smoking and where an individual lives: most smokers live in the most deprived areas of the country. In 2016 the highest smoking rate was observed in Hastings, where 26% of the population smoked – the highest percentage in England – and the lowest rates in England were observed in areas of Surrey in which just 4.9% of people smoked (4).
What is the cause of reduced smoking rates?
This achievement can be attributed to a number of public health measures deployed in the UK over the past two decades. Perhaps the most well-known measure to date has been the smoking ban. Legislation that came into effect in 2006, made it illegal to smoke in all public enclosed areas and workplaces. In addition, more recent legislation includes prohibiting the advertising and promotion of tobacco such as the prohibition of tobacco products on display in supermarkets, and standardising the packaging and labelling of tobacco products. The government banned smoking in cars with children in the UK in 2015 in a measure to reduce the harmful effects of second-hand smoke (1).
What is left to be done?
Despite these legislative changes, and the fact that fewer people are now smoking in the UK than ever before, more is needed to be done to tackle smoking in the UK. Evidence suggests that smoking is the largest cause of preventable deaths, causing approximately 79,000 preventable deaths in England every year (1).
Every few years, a Tobacco Control Plan that outlines the key activities and outcomes to take action on smoking is proposed by the Department of Health. The latest Tobacco Control Plan, published in 2017, outlined the ambition to create the first ‘smokefree generation’ by 2022, with a plan to focus on prevention of smoking and reducing the uptake of smoking by young people. Their goal, through legislation against proxy purchasing (when an individual buys tobacco products on behalf of someone else), aims to reduce the prevalence of smoking in young people from 8% to 3% and in adults from 15% to 12% (1). The recent Tobacco Plan also includes actions on supporting established smokers to quit by providing resources and access to health professionals, and aims to eliminate the variation in smoking rates in different regional and socio-economic groups.

Nettle and pea soup
I came up with this recipe to use up the nettle leaves I picked in October during the mild autumn that saw many plants putting on a late spurt of growth. The leaves were steamed and then frozen. The peas were picked and frozen at the end of the summer. I used pheasant stock though chicken or vegetable stock would have been just as good.
So, to the stock add peas and nettle leaves, chopped leek and chopped onion or shallots, some herbs to taste, a couple of cloves of garlic, a splash of worcester sauce and a spoonful of marmite. Bring to the boil and simmer for about 20-25 minutes. Blend it before serving.

Cody rose from his horrible childhood to become a rich and well-adjusted man, kind of. Ben isn’t being honest when he goes to work for Cody and how that unravels is interesting. Both men try to keep things professional but it’s clear the heat between them isn’t going away. Each man did things they regret and I like how they tried to work through that. Although the romance is too quick for my taste, they did heat up the pages. Editing could have been gone over again, it is rough in many places. This story has great potential with flawed characters I wanted to see redeem themselves.
If you like office romances than Scoring The Boss is a highly recommended read!

The Notice of Agenda [PDF] is up, letting us know what will be handled on the 27th in bankruptcy court. All that is on the schedule is the motion [PDF] by Edward Cahn, SCO's Chapter 11 trustee, to approve SCO board members issuing some stock options to themselves after they forgot to timely do so, without first seeking approval or apparently even telling Mr. Cahn first. The story is they voted in August to issue them, but then they forgot to actually do so for some months.
I don't know why they bother with all the paperwork. In bankruptcy court in Delaware, the corporate debtor always wins and creditors get nothing, from what we've seen, or at least 99% of the time. They seem to like it that way.
[ Update: What'd I tell you? The judge has already signed the order. I have it for you.]
Approving this motion ... well, it sticks in my craw, for all the reasons I painstakingly outlined when SCO filed this beaut of a motion, mainly because of SCO's 2004 Change of Control Agreement, which I believe means this motion will drain money from the company, not pull it in, when it comes to the end of the almost impenetrable plan, but I'm not the one who gets to decide.
Here is the docket:
01/25/2010 - 1039 - Certificate of No Objection (related document(s) 1033 ) Filed by Edward N. Cahn, Chapter 11 Trustee for The SCO Group, Inc., et al.. (Fatell, Bonnie) (Entered: 01/25/2010)
Judge Gross generally does whatever Mr. Cahn tells him to do, so I don't know whether to encourage you to attend or not. No one has filed any opposition, which doesn't mean no one will speak at the hearing. But it is possible it will be rubber stamped in 5 minutes and you will have traveled for hours for nothing. I'll leave it up to you. I naturally would like to chronicle every little twist in the river until we reach the ocean, so to speak, particularly if I suspect a diversion of the some of the water to a private pond, but I'm also aware it's asking a lot. If you do decide to go, check with the courthouse before you set out. The Status line in the filing says:
"The hearing on this matter will go forward if the Court believes a hearing is necessary." And if he's just going to rubber stamp, why would he want a hearing? One issue mentioned in the motion is whether or not Mr. Cahn taking over as Chapter 11 trustee is a change of control event. If so, it matters a lot, but no matter what happens on the 27th, that issue won't be decided then anyway, I wouldn't think.
01/25/2010 - 1040 - Notice of Agenda of Matters Scheduled for Hearing Filed by Edward N. Cahn, Chapter 11 Trustee for The SCO Group, Inc., et al.. Hearing scheduled for 1/27/2010 at 03:00 PM at US Bankruptcy Court, 824 Market St., 6th Fl., Courtroom #3, Wilmington, Delaware. (Fatell, Bonnie) (Entered: 01/25/2010)
Updated docket, the order:
Obviously, this means there will be no hearing, so don't ask for a day off from work, whatever you do.
01/25/2010 - 1041 - Order (1) Confirming That Certain Stock Options Granted Post-Petition Were Awarded In The Ordinary Course Of The Debtors' Business (2) Authorizing the Trustee To Honor Certain Stock Options Exercised In Accordance With The Debtors' Books And Records (3) Confirming Notice As Given Is Sufficient And (4) Granting Related Relief. (related document(s) 1033 ) Order Signed on 1/25/2010. (GM) (Entered: 01/25/2010)
Update 2: Surprise, surprise. No hearing on the 27th. And Ocean Park submits another bill:
Most of Ocean Park's second bill, which covers the month of November, as you can see by the break down in Exhibit A, is for "Communication with potential lenders." $21,675.00. Next is "Analysis, Preparation and Execution of Restructuring Plan" at $12,729.00. A close third is "Analysis & Preparation of Budget & Reports". The grand total is $64,137.00.
01/26/2010 - 1042 - HEARING CANCELLED/RESCHEDULED. Amended Notice of Agenda of Matters Scheduled for Hearing. Filed by Edward N. Cahn, Chapter 11 Trustee for The SCO Group, Inc., et al.. Hearing scheduled for 1/27/2010 at 03:00 PM at US Bankruptcy Court, 824 Market St., 6th Fl., Courtroom #3, Wilmington, Delaware. (Fatell, Bonnie) (Entered: 01/26/2010)
01/26/2010 - 1043 - Certificate of No Objection (related document(s) 986 , 996 ) Filed by Edward N. Cahn, Chapter 11 Trustee for The SCO Group, Inc., et al.. (Fatell, Bonnie) (Entered: 01/26/2010)
01/26/2010 - 1044 - Certificate of No Objection (related document(s) 985 , 997 ) Filed by Edward N. Cahn, Chapter 11 Trustee for The SCO Group, Inc., et al.. (Fatell, Bonnie) (Entered: 01/26/2010)
01/26/2010 - 1045 - Second Application for Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses for the Period of November 1, 2009 Through November 30, 2009 Filed by Ocean Park Advisors, LLC. Objections due by 2/15/2010. (Attachments: # 1 Notice # 2 Exhibit A # 3 Exhibit B # 4 Certificate of Service) (Fatell, Bonnie) (Entered: 01/26/2010)
Wait a second. Wasn't the story that the board issued itself its "forgotten" shares in December? What about this Ocean Park entry:
11/19/09 - Mark Fisler - Managing Director - 3.5 - 1,487.50 - Review of e-mails from debtor. Review of stock option grant analysis. - 4
That's November. Not December. So I wonder now if Ocean Park at least knew about all this before it happened? May it was Ocean Park that discovered it? Here's an entry a few days' later:
11/23/09 - Mark Fisler - Managing Director - 1.7 - $722.50 - Review of emails. Discussion with Debtor on option program history. Review and modification of NDA for execution.
NDA? A couple of days later, we see it's about an "NDA to potential lender". And all through November, you see items about potential lender. On November 23, I see Bruce Comer spent 0.3 hours on: "Correspondence with strategic partner." On the 30th Vinod Bhat, an associate, "Completed package for potential Lender." This is January. So, what happened? I guess we'll find out in the December bill, unless there is some announcement before then, if it was successful. If not, the next bill will show more such efforts with other potential lenders.
