As our anniversary year draws to a close, we find ourselves reflecting on the remarkable journey that 2023 has been for Recovery Devon. This year has been a celebration of resilience, community, and progress in the realm of mental health and wellbeing.
In a world that is more connected digitally than ever before, the scourge of loneliness and isolation persists, affecting countless lives. Recognising the urgency of addressing this issue, we were thrilled to earlier this year announce the relaunch of Happy to Share, a heartfelt initiative aimed at fostering connections, building communities, and combating the silent struggles of loneliness.
As part of our relaunch, we have been excited to create partnerships with like-minded organisations that share our vision where no one feels alone. These collaborations have strengthen our ability to reach a wider audience and amplify the impact of Happy to Share.
Firstly, our Mental Health Fair held in May stands out as a pivotal moment, bringing together from all walks of life to engage in open conversations about mental health. The diverse range of stalls, workshops, and activities served as a powerful reminder that our collective strength lies in embracing the richness of different perspectives.
Our Recovery Day in October was also a testament to the triumph of the human spirit. Personal stories shared, art exhibited, and collaborative activities underscored the profound impact of shared experiences in overcoming mental health challenges. It was a day dedicated to celebrating victories in Recovery in Devon, both big and small, and fostering a sense of unity within our community.
Recovery Day was a vibrant blend of familiar and new faces, symbolising the continuity of our community’s support. The presence of longtime members showcased shared history, while newcomers brought fresh energy, highlighting the inclusive spirit of our commitment to recovery and wellbeing. The mingling of old and new created a dynamic atmosphere, fostering connections and emphasizing the enduring strength of our community.
Community Development Fund
The Community Development Fund has been a driving force behind transformative initiatives since the fund began in 2016. The innovative projects funded by the community reflect a shared commitment to breaking down barriers and supporting Recovery of individuals who have faced struggles with their mental health.Congratulations again to our 2023 winners, your innovative projects have not only enriched our community but have also been instrumental in advancing mental health awareness and support.We delight in witnessing the ongoing success of your endeavors and eagerly anticipate what you will accomplish next. To read more about who this year’s winners are and what they’ve been up to, click here.
As 2023 comes to a close, we acknowledge and celebrate the transitions within our Recovery Devon CIC family. It is a bittersweet moment as we bid farewell to individuals moving on to new pastures, embarking on exciting journeys in the form of new jobs and well-deserved retirements. Their contributions have left a lasting impact on Recovery Devon, shaping the positive influence we’ve had on mental health and recovery in our community.
In the spirit of evolution and continuity, Sami and Jody stepping into the role of Co-Managing Directors for our organisation in September delighted us. Their collaborative approach promises fresh perspectives and innovative ideas that align with the core values of Recovery Devon.
Moreover, as we welcome this new chapter, we are also excited about the fresh perspectives and energy brought by some new board. In the new year, we look forward to introducing you to these individuals who will contribute their expertise and dedication to further advance our commitment to mental health, recovery, and wellbeing.
We remain steadfastly grateful for the continued support of our current longstanding, very experienced, and valued board members, who have been the bedrock of our organisation, providing wisdom and guidance throughout our journey.
As we bid farewell to this anniversary year, we extend our deepest gratitude to all those who have been part of this incredible journey.
To our dedicated team, board members, partners, and the larger community, your unwavering support has been the bedrock of our success. Together, we’ve established a space prioritising mental health, challenging stigma, and celebrating recovery.
Furthermore , we carry the lessons and achievements of the past year into the future. The legacy of our 20th anniversary will continue to inspire us as we strive for a society where mental health is not just acknowledged but embraced and supported.

The Best Music Podcasts To Binge While You’re Stuck In Isolation
May as well become a music expert while you're stuck at home.
As the coronavirus pandemic continues to unfold around the globe and we face the very real possibility of being confined to our homes for the foreseeable future, there’s no better time to lose yourself in hundreds of hours of dense musical analysis.
We’ve rounded up the best and most fascinating music podcasts for you to get stuck into — ranging from longform interviews and album dissections to close looks at iconic artists and festivals. There’s something for everyone, so get stuck in — after all, you may as well become a music expert while on lockdown.
Ever become so obsessed with a song that you want to pick it apart from the inside out? That’s the impulse behind Song Exploder, a podcast that takes a macro look at some of the biggest, most adored songs on the planet.
Artists are invited along to examine each layer of their own creations, sometimes telling stories of the fights that went on behind the scenes (as with the wild Warpaint episode), sometimes just leaning into the art (as with Courtney Barnett’s appearance).
Switched On Pop
If you’ve ever sat there wondering, ‘What obscure chord progression is this pop song using and does it come from classical music?’, Switched On Pop is going to be up your alley.
Think of it as a masterclass in songwriting, applying a scientific perspective to the earworms that have been stuck in your head for years. So next time you listen to Dua Lipa’s ‘Don’t Start Now’, you can tell your friends that the bassline is straight from Giorgio Moroder’s playbook.
Dolly Parton’s America
The great and curious unifying power of Dolly Parton is at the heart of Dolly Parton’s America, hosted by Jad Abumrad.
Exactly why does this country musician from Tennessee inspire such love and devotion from so many different demographics — from the LGBTIQ community to hardline conservatives. Featuring interviews with Dolly fans and analysis of her songwriting prowess, it’s a fascinating anthropological look at a music icon.
Inside The Big Day Out
As the title suggests, Double J’s Inside The Big Day Out excavates and examines the tumultuous history of one of Australia’s most beloved festivals.
Hosted by Gemma Pike, it takes us through the festival’s inception and mass expansion, through the tragic death of Jessica Michalik during Limp Bizkit’s set in 2001, to the event’s ultimate demise in 2014. Meticulously well-researched and well-presented.
Listen: Episode 1 – A Vision of Nirvana
Australia’s own Max Easton is the host behind the fascinating and informative Barely Human. A close look at some of the most subversive and avant-garde artists in music, the show places a discography in its proper context, examining the social forces that songwriters like Roky Erickson and GG Allin are responding to.
That level of detail means that you don’t have to know the artist in question before diving into an episode either — you’ll be transformed into a Death-head in minutes.
In each episode of Flopstars, music journalists Nic Kelly and Sam Murphy take a look at an artist or album that has shifted the pop needle — but for whatever reason haven’t managed to crack through the upper echelons of the charts.
The podcast only launched in February, and so far they’ve deep dived into Carly Rae Jepsen’s acclaimed album EMOTION, Charli XCX, Lady Gaga’s much-maligned ARTPOP, and Tove Lo.
And The Writer Is…
We’re obviously familiar with the artists that sing our favourite songs, but what about the people that write them?
And The Writer Is…, hosted by songwriter Ross Golan — he’s written with Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, and Nicki Minaj, to name but a few — features interviews with the world’s biggest songwriters and producers, from Jack Antonoff to Benny Blanco to Justin Tranter to Julia Michaels.
Australia’s own Sarah Aarons (she has writing credits on Zedd’s ‘Stay’ and ‘The Middle’, among others) features in one particularly good episode.
Punch Up The Jam
Punch Up The Jam is a podcast about love, hosted by people who are deeply in love with music. A portrait of sonic obsession, it sees the two hosts — Miel Bredouw and Demi Adejuyigbe — place their hearts right on their sleeves and go to bat for a slighted pop hit.
Adejuyigbe has sadly departed the show, leaving Bredouw as the sole host, but there’s still tonnes of episodes with him for newcomers to pore over, and Bredouw more than holds her own with her sheer, unrestricted passion.
The J Files
An Australian institution, The J Files is a loving tribute to some of the most important acts in the world. PJ Harvey, Jurassic 5, Nirvana — all of these artists have been given The J Files treatment, picked apart by professionals and by fans.
But the focus isn’t just on internationals, and a lot of Australian up-and-comers have been given that same level of attention and interest by the show. The recent episode about The Bamboos, for instance, was one of the best yet, a loving look at a soul institution.
Listen: The J Files
A serialised music podcast, Dissect is as much a work of deduction as it is anything else; an attempt to understand the creative forces that produced some of the most important albums of the last few decades.
The recent season on Kendrick Lamar’s Damn., for instance, is as compelling and fast-paced as any season of true crime television, and just as concerned with unpacking mysteries. There’s a reason why people have a straight-up obsession with this podcast — there’s nothing out there like it on the market.

Film Club: The Last Station
The Last Days of Tolstoy’s Life
Friday, February 5, 2010
Credit: Sony Pictures Classics
Critics Beth Accomando and Scott Marks discuss "The Last Station" on the KPBS Film Club with Maureen Cavanaugh.
On this month's edition of the Film Club, we discussed "The Last Station" (opening February 5 at Landmark's La Jolla Cinemas), which just garnered acting nominations for Helen Mirren and Christopher Plummer. You can listen to our discussion.
Michael Hoffman’s The Last Station, based on Jay Parini’s novel, chronicles the last days of Russian author Leo Tolstoy’s life. Central to the story is the battle that flares up between Tolstoy’s wife, Sofya (Helen Mirren) and the author’s chief disciple, Vladimir Chertkov (Paul Giamatti). Toward the end of his life, Tolstoy back-burnered his literary work and focused on promoting a utopian philosophy. But in Hoffman’s hands Tolstoy’s work and legacy are given far less attention that his tumultuous private life. So “The Last Station” plays more like an Access Hollywood expose than a Frontline investigation. This means that we end up with a lot of screaming and emotional outbursts than on ideas and substance. Tolstoy’s philosophy is not something that is ever seriously discussed or explored because the film would rather focus on shrill arguments between Sofya and Chertkov over the not-quite-dead-yet Tolstoy’s legacy and who has legal rights to it.
The film is not without its pleasures, though. Helen Mirren and Christopher Plummer have a grand ole time locking horns like some aging but not tiring Beatrice and Benedick or Kate and Petruchio. But you get the feeling that they are overacting to compensate for the weak script and unfocused direction. Mirren’ performance even takes on comic overtones as Sofya employs every emotional manipulation she can to try and hold on to her husband.
“The Last Station” (rated R for a scene of sexuality/nudity) is well-acted and competently crafted but it never manages to be truly compelling because Hoffman doesn’t display any passion for his material. He doesn’t seem much interested in Tolstoy’s work or ideology but rather in trying to turn his last days into a tabloid headline of a film.

Rules and regulations of casino game shows online
When playing any type of game, there are certain rules that you must follow. With online casinos that is definitely true. Slotzo doesn’t just let you bet and play whatever you like.
You may not be aware of this but casino game shows are no different. They too have a list of rules and regulations that must be followed in order to create a fun experience for all. This may seem like a downside but these rules are in place for a reason.
If you aren’t familiar with these rules then let this be an opportunity to brush up on exactly what you should be doing when you play live casino game shows online.
The age that you are able to gamble is different depending on what country you are playing in. It usually lines up with what age you are considered an adult. In the UK it is 18, the USA its 21 and in parts of Europe it is 16.
That means that you need to be this age when logging on to play a casino game show based in this country. It is not hard. After all, that is why the old T.V versions used to be on so late.
To have an online casino account your age will need to be verified and that is how sites like www.slotzo.com keep you safe and honest whilst playing.
Wait for your window
Spin and win casino game shows offer a certain window of opportunity to place your bet. When playing on the T.V there was more leeway with this as you had to physical call in via telephone and speak with a host. That made the betting window wider and more adjustable.
Online there are no such delays. Make sure that you know exactly how much you want bet and wait for the opportunity or you could miss out entirely. There are no do overs. It is not a hard rule but something to be aware of. Sites like slotzo frown upon players that constantly miss their window as it hinders other players and ruins there enjoyment of the game.
Card counting is not accepted by all
This is very circumstantial but casino game shows like blackjack allows players to utilise a strategy known as card counting. Some players are happy for you to do this but since you are playing online you are playing with people all over the world. That is a problem as card counting is illegal in certain countries and so it best avoided altogether.
Good casino sites like slotzo shuffle their decks every round so that card counting is made impossible but is still something to be aware of when playing elsewhere. You could get into a lot of trouble.
Be respectful of all players
As mentioned above, online casino game shows are played by a mix of players from all over the world. That means that there are a number of variations in the way certain players will play and bet. It is hard to adjust to but the most important thing to remember is patience. Another player may stumble over a language barrier or be entirely new to the game. There is no way of knowing. That is why it is best to exercise the best manners and respect whilst playing a casino game show online.
Everyone wants to have fun after all. Try out some different casino game shows at slotzo to put this in practice.
The world around you
Not only should players be mindful in the online space but also of the real world. It is great that we can play casino game shows anywhere with an adequate internet connection but always be aware of where you are and what is going on. Don’t start a game of poker if you know that your internet connection is likely to drop out.
It is extremely frustrating when a poker player disappears from a lobby and the rest of the group has no idea whether or not they will return. They may choose not to continue altogether.
Also, ensure that your internet connection is safe. Not only could this be detrimental to yourself but those that you play with. Site like slotzo are incredibly safe but you never know how safe you are when transferring money whilst out and about. Be careful
I hope that these rules and regulations are already second nature to those of you that play casino game shows online. If not, now you are fully equipped to play courteously and responsibly.

In order to protect yourself from scams, understand technology, evaluate investment opportunities, understand the latest market trends, and take control of your financial decisions, it is important to conduct your own research in the cryptocurrency space. It allows you to make informed decisions based on your own analysis and evaluation of available information.
How to investigate crypto projects? With the help of the extensive resources available in the open Web3 ecosystem, of course, including white papers, Discord channels, and blockchain explorers.
Most crypto projects have their own white papers, Discord channels, and detailed reports on the underlying smart contracts that you can view using a blockchain explorer (like Etherscan). The openness of Web3 allows you to look beyond the hype and check some things out for yourself.
Let’s start with blockchain basics. Every crypto project, token or platform is based on smart contracts. Since smart contracts are blockchain-based tools, all important data is recorded and available for you to view.
You may be wondering how to access this data exactly – this is where blockchain explorers like Etherscan come into play. Blockchain explorers are similar to search engines designed specifically for blockchain; they can analyze large amounts of on-chain data for a specific blockchain and show you the results of various queries related to the project you are researching.
By looking at some key metrics in a blockchain explorer like Etherscan, you can get a very clear picture of a project. These include:
1) Contract Creation Date.
Here you can see the creation time of the smart contract underlying the project, letting you know how long the project has been running. This may help identify rug pulls since such projects are expected to be short-lived.
2) Total Token Supply.
Viewing a project's total token supply gives you an overview and indicates how many projects each token will purchase. Purchasing 1,000 tokens may seem like a lot, but when the total supply reaches 50 million, you’ll quickly understand the influence you have in the project.
3) Token Allocation.
Again, you will gain important insights by looking at how these tokens are allocated. A supply of 50 million coins may seem normal, but if you notice that 10 million of them are all in the same crypto wallet, it could be a sign that this is an unstable project or even a robbery because only one person owns it.
4) Wallet Transaction History.
When you view a project's smart contract data, you will also see a history of all transactions that the project has ever made and the wallet IDs with which it was interacted. If many transactions are actually just tokens circulating through the same few wallets, this could indicate, for example, wash trades to increase the price and image of the project. If you are looking at a token you want to buy from a large collection and its smart contract transaction history only shows some recent contract interactions, it is most likely a fake smart contract. Regardless, checking out Etherscan will give you a behind-the-scenes look at the projects you care about.
Before analyzing this data, you must determine the smart contract ID of the project you are working on. It will appear on the project's official website, the project's OpenSea page, the white paper, and even the GitHub page. It may also appear on the corresponding CoinMarketCap or CoinGecko page. After copying this ID, you can go to a blockchain explorer (compatible with the project's underlying blockchain) and enter the copied smart contract address. You can access all of the above metrics and more to understand your prospects.
Discord started as a social hub for gamers and developers, but has grown into one of the central communication platforms on Web3. More or less every crypto project has its own Discord server that serves as a hub for the community to ask questions, collaborate, and share alpha. But fundamentally, Discord is a source of information where you can learn about a project’s community and even its founders.
- Evaluate the team's projects. For example, if you have questions about the prospects or technology of your project, this is a great place to start. A responsive team is always ready to answer your questions and concerns, which is what you would expect from a real project staffed by hard-working founders. On the other hand, unanswered questions or a central team that doesn’t respond at all could be a sign that the project has no vision or, even worse, is a scam.
- Assess the community’s sentiment. Browsing community reviews can also reveal a lot about a project. If most reviews seem to be praising the item or urging you to buy it quickly, you may find that the item isn't all it seems. Discord is about real community, not shilling.
You can also check how the community feels about the project - for example, whether they are engaged, disappointed, or have important alpha information to share about an upcoming release. #nonbankdefi
Regardless, looking at activity on Discord is another great way to gather information about your planned project, and should definitely be part of your research.
A third important resource for your own research are white papers. In Web3, most projects have their own white paper, and the purpose of this document is to provide an in-depth understanding of the project's underlying technology, its specific use cases (if any), future roadmap, and underlying team. All of this will help you evaluate whether the project has a bright, realistic future.
The first thing you should look for is the use case for your project - is there an application within an existing company or industry? Who are the competitors – does the project have to be based on blockchain? If the answers to these questions aren't clear, consider whether the project's utility can outweigh the hype.
White papers often mention the founding team, which can be valuable information. If the founding team already has a history of success in the DeFi or NFT space, the project may look more attractive. However, if the founder isn't mentioned or doesn't have a clear track record with crypto projects and their potential use cases, you may want to dig deeper before making a decision.
Finally, every white paper should contain a roadmap showing how the founders plan to develop the project in the future. This is your chance to understand their intentions and decide whether you think the plan is realistic before intervening.
These are just a few key resources for understanding the Web3 space and secure interactions - but there are hundreds more, and that’s why your own research is crucial when investing in cryptocurrency projects. Taking the time to DYOR will help you make informed decisions and navigate the ever-changing world of cryptocurrency with confidence. Remember to always check your sources, ask questions, and stay up-to-date on the latest news and updates.

What you need to know about glaucoma
| By Dr. Ronald Hoffman
Did you know that glaucoma is the second most common form of progressive blindness in the U.S., after macular degeneration? Or that it is the leading cause of blindness among African-Americans and Hispanics? In fact, glaucoma is estimated to affect over 4 million Americans—but only half of them know it.
Heralded by losses at the periphery of vision (the opposite of macular degeneration), once glaucoma has robbed a patient of vision it cannot be restored. So our best bulwark against blindness due to glaucoma is early detection, along with careful treatment and monitoring.
Glaucoma is associated with high intra-ocular pressure (IOP)—from a mechanistic standpoint, elevated pressure of vitreous fluid impinges on the optic nerve where it enters the eye. Optometrists and ophthalmologists routinely measure IOP when patients come in for eye exams, and medication can be given in the form of drops that lower pressure within the eyeball. If that fails, tiny holes can be drilled with precise laser surgery to create outlet channels in the trabecular mesh work of the eye to help drain the pent-up fluid.
But there’s more to glaucoma than just elevated IOP. “Normal pressure glaucoma” develops when the optic nerve shows signs of damage in the absence of high IOP. This implies that glaucoma may have a metabolic component, apart from the damaging effects of physical compression on the nerve ganglia that transmit light impulses from the eye to the brain.
When it comes to nutritional strategies, the likely implication is that there may be a two-fold strategy for glaucoma sufferers: 1) interventions that lower IOP and 2) interventions that prevent neurodegeneration of the optic nerve.
It has been acknowledged that some of the most prevalent subtypes of glaucoma are associated with metabolic syndrome, features of which are obesity and high blood pressure. Therefore, weight loss, exercise, sleep, and a low-carb diet, along with insulin-sensitizing nutrients—all of which help reverse metabolic syndrome—may be central to management of elevated IOP.
With regard to prevention of neurodegeneration, measures that can enhance circulation or support mitochondrial function within the neurons may be helpful. Traditional circulation boosters include fish oil, magnesium and ginkgo biloba. In fact, ginkgo has been shown to help restore visual fields in patients suffering from normal pressure glaucoma, and a recent scientific review proposed magnesium supplementation for glaucoma patients.
In an animal study, Omega 3 fatty acids were found to decrease IOP by promoting fluid outflow from the eye. When tested in humans, in combination with Vitamins B and E, DHA (docosahexanoic acid) has been shown to improve visual fields and retinal sensitivity in patients with glaucoma. In other studies, patients with glaucoma were found to have lower levels of omega 3 fatty acids than those without.
Much has been written about the potential for antioxidants to combat the neurodegeneration that is associated with loss of vision in glaucoma, but unlike macular degeneration (where comprehensive human trials have conclusively demonstrated the value of antioxidants), the use of antioxidants for glaucoma is less substantiated by clinical research in human subjects. Nevertheless, EGCG from green tea, known as a potent antioxidant, has demonstrated effectiveness in an animal model of glaucoma; Alpha lipoic acid has also been shown to limit glaucoma-related retinal ganglion cell death. Astaxanthin has demonstrated neuroprotective effects in the eye. Vitamins A, beta carotene and other carotenoids like lutein and zeaxanthin, C, and E and the minerals zinc and selenium have also been suggested to be beneficial.
When vision cells malfunction, likely culprits are the mitochondria, the powerhouses of energy-hungry photoreceptors in the eye. To this end, it is noteworthy that the latest research has revealed that nicotinamide (vitamin B3) can stave off vision loss in an animal model of glaucoma. It is thought that B3 acts a building block for NADH (nicotine adenine dinucleotide), a crucial energy compound. A more targeted approach might involve dosing with nicotinamide riboside (Niacel), a more direct precursor of NADH which has been demonstrated to raise NADH levels in human trials.
Patients ask me about Coleus forskohlii eyedrops, delivering 1% forskolin, which are safe and effective for glaucoma according to limited studies. But with the relatively effective prescription eye medicines that are available, I’m not sure that herbal eyedrops add much benefit, unless you’re intolerant to the other meds. Coleus may not work as well when taken orally, but a recent study showed that, when teamed with the potent bioflavonoid rutin, it could reduce IOP in patients poorly responsive to multi-drug therapy.
Along similar lines, a product (Myrtogenol) containing a mixture of pine bark extract (Pycnogenol) and bilberry was shown to reduce IOP and enhance ocular blood flow in subjects with glaucoma. This makes sense, because bioflavonoids, and in particular proanthocyanidins, are known for their ability to reduce venous and capillary leakage, and hence attenuate edema and fluid accumulation. Melatonin has been proposed as a free radical scavenger that may ameliorate glaucoma. Other studies have linked insufficient vitamin D to glaucoma, with the conclusion that “a low vitamin D level might render the optic nerve or its environment more vulnerable to glaucomatous insult.”
Finally, there is an herb that is particularly effective for lowering IOP: marijuana. Cannabis’ glaucoma-protective effects were first noted among ganja-smoking Jamaican Rastafarians, racially similar to African Americans in their genetic predisposition to glaucoma, but remarkably free of it.
It turns out that marijuana lowers IOP, and can be effective in ameliorating the debilitating headaches and eye pain experienced by sufferers of advanced, drug-refractory glaucoma. Moreover, new research suggests that marijuana compounds may be anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective. Some research suggests that cannabidiol (CBD) can deliver the glaucoma benefits of pot, but its not clear if it’s effective in the absence of THC, with its potential for “stoner” side effects.
So to summarize, if you have glaucoma:
- Optimize your weight
- Eat a low-carb diet to combat insulin resistance
- Exercise, but go easy on heavy weight-lifting or inversions which might increase intra-ocular pressure
- Don’t smoke!
- Get frequent eye checks, and remember to take your prescription eye drops
- If you’re taking an anti-hypertensive drug, particularly if you’re over 75, make sure that your medication isn’t causing your blood pressure to dip too low, especially at night while you sleep, which has been demonstrated to impair circulation to your eyes and worsen glaucoma.
- Don’t overdo it on coffee or decongestant ingredients in cold or allergy medications; bladder medications, antihistamines, oral steroids and steroid eye drops, and certain antidepressants have also been associated with glaucoma worsening.
- Take a good Omega 3 supplement
- Take chelated magnesium
- Take antioxidants (mixed carotenoids, vitamins A, C, mixed tocopherol E, zinc, selenium, alpha lipoic acid, lutein, zeaxanthin, and possibly astaxanthin)
- Take ginkgo biloba standardized extract (40 mg 3 times daily was used in the study)
- Take EGCG capsules (one twice daily) or drink several cups of green tea daily
- Take Niacel 250 mg twice daily
- Consider a potent bioflavonoid or proanthocyanidin (rutin, grape seed extract, bilberry, and/or pycnogenol) formula
- Take melatonin 3-5 mg at bedtime
- Make sure your serum 25(OH) vitamin D is 40 ng/ml or greater
- Consider marijuana derivatives under the guidance of a health practitioner experienced with cannabinoid prescribing.

Sticking to the exercises we know, and those we can do best is always tempting in the gym. For many, developing our more glamourous muscles is a much more attractive proposition than just working on cardio.
However, a growing movement in exercise is now promoting the development of a functional and well-rounded athlete. This can provide certain benefits, physically and psychologically, yet a lot of fitness goers are not aware of how to adapt their training or of the benefits of doing so.
Across elite sport, this concept is being adopted to help the development of young athletes, and some aspects are beginning to be adapted into amateur sports and fitness training.
What’s the benefit of increased functionality
Increased functionality in fitness terms focuses on not just being big, or just being fast, but being fast, strong, toned, and flexible.
One of the major benefits of this is reduced injury risk. Over training one area can cause overuse injuries. By spreading the training load, and adding more flexibility and balance work, you protect yourself from strains and injuries.
Adjusting your workout methods to develop functionality can decrease the likelihood of burnout too. This can increase motivation and emphasize enjoyment and add variation to workouts. By focusing on a range of exercises, the risk of burnout, overexercise, and lack of motivation is reduced.
This makes it easier to stick to your workout plan and continue working towards your fitness goals.
Top 5 Ways to Maximise Muscular Functionality
So here are 5 methods you can use to improve your functionality and develop all-round movement.
1. Bodyweight Exercises
Bodyweight exercises are great for building strength without the need for weights. Using bodyweight alone you can enhance any muscle and tone every part of your body.
The most obvious benefit of bodyweight exercise is that you can do them anywhere. You don’t need weights, resistance bands, you don’t even have to wear workout clothes, just find a small space and perform a few exercises. So, no excuses now for not doing your daily workout.
Bodyweight exercises, and particularly plyometrics and explosive-type activities, can improve strength very quickly. They can provide fast results, enhancing speed and increase strength. You can dramatically increase strength and sprint performance by combining resistance training and plyometrics in as little as 6 weeks.
Even just adding a few plyometric exercises as part of a bench press or hack squat routine can greatly increase strength.
By making small modifications to your exercises as you get stronger and fitter, bodyweight exercises work for any level of fitness. You can adapt most to make them harder or easier by changing reps, body position, or changing the length of breaks between sets.
Balance and flexibility are often overlooked in the gym. Weightlifting in particular places a specific focus on the trained muscles, so often a padded seat or armrest helps provide balance. As a result, there is little improvement in balance in weight training. By adding bodyweight training to your fitness routine, you can greatly improve your balance, functionality, and flexibility.
2. Incline Trainers
Gliding incline trainers are becoming a staple part of home gyms these days. They are a fantastic, low-impact way of toning muscle and building strength. Crucially, they offer the opportunity to develop and work almost any muscle from the shoulder right the way down to the calves.
They aren’t useful for getting big, but for defining muscle and building strength and flexibility gliding incline trainers are perfect. They offer a full range of motion and use bodyweight resistance to really push and define muscles.
Most incline trainers come equipped with a set of workouts you can do to help you get started. Using these as a starting point, you can start developing excellent workouts that target a wide range of muscles and movements.
3. Cardio/Strength workouts
By simply combining your cardio and strength workouts you can really develop athletic functionality, toning muscles, building strength, and increasing balance.
HIIT workouts using dumbbells are a great way of doing this. The use of dumbbells adds extra resistance which can tone and develop your muscles, whilst the high-intensity movements build balance and increase cardio. All the while you will burn loads of calories.
It’s best to start with a low-weight when doing this for the first time and build up gradually as you get stronger. This helps you ensure you are using the correct form and working the right muscles for each exercise.
Some good exercises for increasing strength, cardio, and mobility include:
- Squat into a shoulder press
- Reverse lunge into two bicep curls
- Press-up to row
In a HIIT format, these exercises should be performed as quickly as possible. Try to maintain correct form but don’t worry about holding at the top of the press up or bottom of the squat, just keep moving. I found throwing in a few bodyweight exercises alongside during your workout can work well too.
4. Participate in multiple sports
Different sports require different movements. In order words, the more sports you take part in, the greater range of muscles you will be using. There are a lot of shared fundamental movements, but specific techniques in sports require certain muscles that won’t be used in other sports.
Sport can also develop coordination, strengthen bodies, and promote physical fitness.
Participation in a variety has benefits beyond movement and using different muscles. Psychologically it can be a very rewarding learning and mastering new skills and often is a more enjoyable way of keeping active and maintaining fitness.
Sport has a massive social aspect too, particularly at an amateur level where joining a sports club or team can present a new social group, new friends, and more social interaction which many people can thrive off.
5. Positive mindset
A healthy mindset is vital when building any fitness. When developing functionality, results may not initially be as visually obvious, but if you’re training well and using the correct form the benefits will follow. It’s important to maintain a positive mindset and set yourself SMART (specific, measurable, adjustable, realistic, time-phased) goals.
Aspects like sleep are vital for maintaining a positive mindset, helping you be ready and prepared for what the next day throws at you. A healthy diet also contributes to a healthy mind so be sure to keep a close eye on your nutrition.
Doing things like taking notes of your exercise and which ones went well, which exercises felt good, and which ones didn’t is a great way of giving yourself focus for your workouts. Reviewing your goals at the start of the day can help you to re-focus as well.
Stress is another factor that can damage your mindset, and it’s worth looking at methods of de-stressing to help you stick to your fitness goals. Box breathing, visualization, meditation, and body scanning can all help you identify emotions and de-stress in your fitness journey.
If you can center your workout programs around these 5 methods, then you will be well on your way to developing a functional, healthy body. Enjoying your workouts and the fitness journey is a vital aspect too. Keeping a positive mindset using the strategies above plays a big role. Finally, making exercise a social thing by trying out different sports allows you the opportunity to interaction with others.

The bit on the back…
The day Martha Winter decided to tear apart her family began like any other day.
The house has soft, purple wisteria twining around the door. You step inside.
The hall is cool after the hot summer's day. The welcome is kind, and always warm.
Yet something makes you suspect life here can't be as perfect as it seems.
After all, the brightest smile can hide the darkest secret.
But wouldn't you pay any price to have a glorious place like this?
Welcome to Winterfold.
Martha Winter's family is finally coming home.
Firstly thank you to Headline for approving me for a copy of the 4th part in this serialised title via NetGalley. This is the 4th and final part of this novel. You can read my review of the 3 previous parts here –
So far Harriet has introduced us to all the characters in Martha Winterfold’s story and has unveiled some long buried secrets that have massive repercussions for the family. The story is narrated by the characters in turn which allows you to see the story from all aspects and it’s great especially when you’re reading the story in parts. The full length novel is out now and you can check it out on Amazon here.
At the start of this series I was intrigued by the unique stories each of the characters had and also the impact they had on Martha’s story as a whole. I was looking forward to seeing how that was going to work out in the end and now I know! It’s been quite a journey for the characters especially in my opinion for Cat, Bill and Florence.
My favourite character throughout has been Cat. I liked her determination and resilience which seems to come from having an absent mother when she was young. I feel like her story drew me in the most and I felt eager to see her story have a happy ending.
I did feel that for all the other characters too, however I couldn’t see how it was all going to come together. Harriet pulls you into this family’s story and it’s impossible not to feel the tugs on your heart strings as it looks like everything might fall apart. I definitely recommend you read this book.


Berkley: Trilene’s new XL Armor Coated
Though Berkley’s new Nanofil Uni-Filament Line has drawn much of the attention at ICAST this year, company spokesman Clay Norris says that Trilene’s new XL Armor Coated is equally worthy of attention. The line is a “co-extrusion”, with a harder, more abrasion-resistant exterior extruded over a soft, flexible interior filament. The result is a monofilament line that is 40 percent more abrasion resistant than conventional nylon mono, and 30 percent more flexible, says Norris. The line is available in clear or green colors, and in tests from 6 to 20. A 220-yard spool is $8.99 for up to 8-pound-test, $9.99 for higher tests.

What can be done? Coaches call check with me's all game? Another player like an OL call part of the play? We have to think of something people! Post your suggestions and I will send them to Kelly.
Easy. Give him reps and he'll learn.
Here is what I suggest: the offensive and defensive team captains schedule
"flag-football scrimmages" twice a week beginning in June when the whole team
is on campus.
Let's say Golson is the QB. The plays are signaled in from the sidelines and
stop-watches are used so that Golson only gets the prescribed seconds to
get a play off. Teo (or some other captain) calls defensive signals, both of the
"vanilla" variety and those designed to confuse Golson.
The full playbooks for both offense and defense are available for use and
are introduced as the summer progresses.
Scoring can be similar to what was used in the BG game.
The whole point is to have regular scrimmages in shorts (no pads since
no tackling) where the QBs are forced to practice the things they are
1) Golson---time management to get plays in and communicated
to the offense;
2) Golson---defense switching coverages, blitzing, faking blizing,etc.
to force him to recognize defenses and be able (within the time
allowed to get a play off ) to audible to another play
3) Hendrix---defensive switching to get him more used to seeing
the field and to get him to recognize coverages and audible
to another play;
4) Rees--to refine his understanding and get him to avoid
minus yard plays like the plaque;
5) Kiel---all of the above, including just his running plays
against a relatively "vanilla" defense at this stage;
6) Defense---learning to deal with a running QB; focus
a lot on our defense backs turning to look for the ball;
Point: Golson, Hendrix can learn plays, can in fact improve
accuracy and timing with receivers with 7 on 7 drills and
the like but what we need for Golson and Hendrix especially
is a continuation of Saturday where each is forced to get
plays in from the sidelines, recognize the defense, audible if
they have to and execute all without being forced to call
time out. And to do it, again, and again, and again-----
So, this has to be a "true team" effort (offense/defense)
to help get your Golson and Hendrix ready to be the starter.
And, it has to be, as near as possible, to "live game" situations,
with the whole offense and defense doing it--perhaps once or
twice a week.
The flag part is to emphasize we don't want tackling---it is a
scrimmage with the purpose of getting our QBs ready, not
to prove we can bust tackles, etc.
And, perhaps the offensive and defensive lines don't really
block and shed blocks with intensity, just enough to make
it realistic for Everett and Andrew and Tommy.
Finally, they can add wrinkles but the key is for Golson to
read the play that is called, communicate the called play to
the team and gradually learn enough to recognize
the defense so that he can audible into the right play. And,
to do that, he must have the experience of actually doing it, so, let's
"voluntarily" as a team provide the means to do it--a series
of controlled scrimmages as near as possible fashioned after
game conditions where he gets the feel of actually running the
Obviously, just a thought, but, I started a similar thread
entitled "what's going to happen this summer" and got one
response so thanks Irish Cedar for putting it in a way to

Golson ran scout team all last year. Practiced with the second team all Spring while Rees and Hendrix practiced with the first team. Golson ran most of the plays in the Spring game with #2 offense. Still did OK.
Give him 1st string reps and focus and attention -- see how fast he picks up running the offense.
No big deal. It will come.
Can't teach someone athleticism. They either have it or they don't.
"Having the right to do something doesn't mean it's right to do it." -- Chief Justice Warren Burger
Question for Staff/Everybody: I understand that the NCAA has to put limits on the number of team practices during the spring and the number of mandatory hours players put into football activities. What I don't understand though is: once classes end for the semester and final exams are complete why can't Golson work with Coaches Kelly and Martin this summer before fall camp starts to learn the play calls and hand signals better and generally work on his overall game?
It seems to me that Golson has a great opportunity in front of him, but time is of the essence. The physical tools are there but the mental part of the game is not (e.g. knowing the play calls and leading the team). He has approximately 3 months once final exams are complete to focus on nothing else but getting ready for fall camp. I wish he could stay on campus and work with the coaching staff because while I'm sure he can learn a lot on his own working with the coaches would probably acclerate the learning curve dramatically.
I'm really rooting for Golson to start because the spring game demonstrated that he has the best and most accurate arm on the team in addition to his ability to run and make positive yards when there's no one open. The touch he showed on the TD pass to Ben Koyak throwing over the LB and dropping the pass right in front of the the CB was so impressive. Golson seems to really understand how to throw through "windows". Hendrix tries to throw the ball through people instead of over and around them and Rees can't push the ball down field due to a lack of arm strength. Golson is our best playmaker at the QB position and he needs to play.
They need to use this year to build for the future. Hendrix and Rees can't take us where we want to go. Golson and Kiel have the upside to do so. Golson is the best option for this season and possibly beyond. We really need to focus on developing these two young kids. Our running game and defense are good enough to win 8 games this year even with a limited playbook. If Golson develops faster, then the playbook can expand as the season progresses. GO IRISH!
A lot of unneccessary effort that could possibly result in NCAA violations if coaches were found to be involved in your scheme in any way. The other players aren't responsible for Golson learning the playbook or hand signals. Golson is. From the sounds of things, he hasn't done his homework and is relying totally on his athleticism to win the job. Street-ball isn't going to do it...he needs to be better prepared individually.
Whoa. He ran the scout team offense last year. New OC with new terms & signals. Our "veteran" QB Rees was flagged for a delay as well... Now who isn't doing their fan homework?
OK, so everyone in here is breaking out the Golson Champagne. I'll jump in with a comment.
The thing that they will(and I am pretty sure ARE already doing) is 7 step drops and also placing emphasis protecting Golson's back side, as much for fumbling as his health. I noticed GAIII/Riddick fan to the left on 3 passing plays. My guess is that these two things help make up for his lack of height and protect him because they trust his arm will deliver well to 4 or even just 3 targets. And if no one can break free, the hope is that HE will and either pick something up on his own or find someone in secondary routes in the chaos. It is THIS TIME he'll need to gain awareness of who might be breathing down his neck and be a threat to knock the ball loose. But he could be exciting and threatening during this very time. Lets hope so.

First, arrange it so the coaches are not involved. End of NCAA violation.
Two, "learning the playbook and signals" is not the problem. The problems with
Golson, and Hendrix for that matter, revolve around two issues:
1) reading the hand-signals and communicating the initial play to
the offense without calling time-out after time-out after time-out;
2) being able to read the defensive coverage, anticipate defensive
switches and then, audible into the right play.
Consider: Rees, at least, audibled on Saturday a number of times;
neither Golson, nor Hendrix did once----not a particularly
comforting thing when we are faced with what the DCs of Michigan,
Michigan State, Stanford, Oklahoma, Miami, USC, not to name
the Pittsburghs of this world will do to confuse the living hell
out of him.
And, this arrangement actually helps out the entire team just
as scrimmages do--hell, our DBs can practice turning their
heads to find the ball.
The question posed by Irish Cedar was whether we board geniuses
had any ideas to help. What I find amusing is that threads that
complain about this and complain about that are well visited;
threads that actually ask for imagination and positive steps to
aid the team receive meager feedback.
To some extent, we all realize that BK and his staff are not
going to accept our ideas--that's pretty much a given. But,
from what I saw, Golson should be the starter based upon
"art"; he needs help learning the "science" and it doesn't come
from simply learning the playbook.
This post was edited by hemy 2 years ago
The only thing that really needs to be done is work the offense around Golson's abilities much like Auburn did with Cam Newton.(I'm not saying run a bunch of QB zone reads, but make it easier for the guy) If the offense is a little to complex than simplify it. Golson has a strong arm, and great pocket presence from the 2 blue-gold game performances I've seen. From anyone who was at the game Saturday and the others who watched on tv or online, Golson is a PLAYMAKER and brought some SWAGGER to the offense that we haven't had since Brady Quinn's final years. Coaches gotta do whatever it takes to put EG in drivers seat. As always....GO IRISH!
It seems to me that if Kelly gets the play signaled in right away, much of this issue goes away. If Golson is looking to the sidelines immediately after the whistle and Kelly is having the next play signaled in, it will speed things up for Golson pre-snap as well.
Having said all that, I think Golson needs to live with the playbook on his lap and spend an hour or more every day watching film. It will come to him.
At one point were not sideline picture boards used? The placard code may be a way of getting a play in until Golson would get more experience and reach a comfort level.
I recall it was Tommy Rees's Freshman year that BK started to do this. He had to get spoon-feed a brand-new Freshman QB.
Don't know why they can't do something like that for Golson until he gets up to speed.
I think that Kelly brought the getting the team in the offense to have something to say that was l;acking in his game. It is but they do not want to pick a qg before Fall so it is Kelly's job to give areas that need to improve and not to pick the quarterback now. You guys need to do less team leaf readings and mor waiting to see how thi works out. I honestly think anyone of the three can end up starting still but they all have to improve areas of weakness.
Listen very closely to Coach Kelly's post B-G scrimmage interviews...He isn't pleased with Golson's ability to manage the offense AT THE PACE he wants the Irish to run. (I believe someone else astutely referred to it as "being reluctant to hand over the keys to the Ferrari")
Golson has had ample opportunity to learn the playbook and hand signals. He is now in his 3+ semester (counting last year's summer classes) of college. Why wasn't he the guy last year signalling in the plays? Why did Kelly entrust that to a non-scholarship player rather than an heir-apparent QB? What was Golson doing last fall on the sidelines?
I may be connecting the dots a little differently than you might, but I don't think I am far off the mark. Golson may have more raw ability to run this offense the way Kelly wants to run it than anyone else on campus, but he doesn't know the playbook well enough yet to just hand him the keys.
It's not that I don't like your flag football concept. I just think it has the potential to get the Irish coaching staff in trouble. It's also a lot of work for other players to do just because one person hasn't done his homework adequately enough to date.
With all that said...I do believe that Golson is the right person to take the Irish to the next level this fall...IF he earns it. Right now "earning" means he needs to put his head into the playbook and stop depending solely on his God-given talents. This is not high school, where he was better than 99% of the people he lined up against. Even he has admitted so much...
As I said earlier, BK+staff are not really going to do anything we suggest in this thread. However,
the thread does offer the opportunity for folks to suggest viable things to do instead of waiting until
later and then criticizing after the fact. What I had hoped with the flag football concept was
something like this scenario:
The captains (not coaches) say to the team--"we really have a chance to do something
this year if we can all improve and really help our QBs and DBs, especially corners, improve.
What we're going to suggest is scheduling maybe once a week some type of scrimmage
where we can get all the QBs (not just Everett) improve the timing on getting plays in
and called (remember TR struggles in this department also), where our defenders can
practice on calling signals themselves and disguising plays, where our dbs can really
focus on turning their heads with the ball in the air, where our corners can work to
contain on read-option and similar running plays,etc."
Let's assume Everett, Andrew, Tommy and Gunner have the playbook down cold.
That situation, in and of itself, does not help get the plays in and communicated
at the tempo we need and certainly does not help with reading the defense, seeing
the field and reacting according. Andrew might even learn how to "read" a linebacker
drop, for example.
It just seems to me that we can better utilize the three months of summer to address
the most serious weaknesses that could adversely impact next season. Yes, on
August 4th, the coaches take over but we may be running out of time.
I don't know how the coaches cannot be involved to make this worthwhile...the timing involves getting a play from a coach (Kelly, I presume from what I have read, after he has talked to his eye in the sky (pressbox)), who then relays the play to his designated hand-signaller (QB in a red shirt), who then relays the play to the QB on the field.
Listening to Kelly describe what happened in the B-G scrimmage, Golson was having trouble picking up the hand signals and translating that into the proper play call (formation, snap count, etc). Fixing that problem has virtually nothing to do with what is being proposed in the flag football concept...It has everything to do with Golson doing his homework and being better prepared to take himself and this offense to the next level. We're not even to the point where Kelly is discussing Golson's ability to read defenses and audibling. That comes AFTER he masters the first part...getting into the proper play at the line of scrimmage to begin with!!!!
Certainly, it should help if he could get more reps with the first team in practice. However, he first needs to make sure Kelly is comfortable enough to do so and deprive others (mainly Hendrix) of that same opportunity. His physical ablilties are not holding Kelly back, his mental preparation is...Kelly said so himself ("he's giving me a heart attack").
Pretty sure the"heart attack " comment was receding to the int's that Rees and Hendrix threw as much as anything Golson did wrong...
CITY OF CHAMPYINZ!!!!!!
I am really not trying to be argumentative and I really could not
care less about the "flag football concept" since it was first, only
a suggestion and secondly, Kelly's not going to authorize the
captains to do it, anyhow. I would like to focus on your comment:
"Golson was having trouble picking up the hand signals and
translating that into the proper play call." Obviously, this can
be because he doesn't know the plays---more time "studying"
the playbook. But, what if he knows the plays but can't read
the signs quick enough, can't communicate them quick
enough (I assume Kelly feels getting the play from the press
box to the sideline is not the problem). All I am saying is that,
especially if Kelly continues with the "3 QB rotation" system
come August camp, Golson may not have enough repetitions
to emerge as the starter.
And, at some point, if Golson's the man, he will have to
learn how to audible, especially as the season progresses.So,
I was simply trying to get him more of an opportunity to have
defenses try to confuse him over the summer and only as and if
he progresses enough that the captains think it appropriate.
I just feel the 7 on 7 and other type "drills" even if done
during the summer will not help either Golson or Hendrix
be the starter--and thus, we are by default left with TR
as the most "comfortable" choice.
What "exercises" or "drills" would you suggest? I am being
serious (not sarcastic) and I think Irish Cedar wants us
to come up with some concrete ideas.
It's hard to cure a problem when all we know is the symptom and not the underlying cause. If it has anything to do with Everett's "study habits", those have to change. You always hear about the great ones who virtually live in the film room. That's your template, Everett, if you want to be great. Maybe some Big Bang kind of nerd can develop a game for him that simulates the experience of reading the play signals from the sideline, lining up the offense and reacting to the defensive formations. Maybe he's just slow on the uptake, and simply needs more time, and it will kick in. I was that way with girls.
Seriously, there are some good thoughts on this thread, even amidst mild discord. I have nothing, here, but I do think we need more info about the nature of the problem, and not just its manifestation.
I may not be pretty, but I'm fast.....
POTW 1/31/11 - 2/6/11
Good and fair questions...if what you are suggesting is the case (possible learning issue with Golson???, here's what I believe to be the best course of action:
I believe it begins with giving Golson more preparation off the field prior to the beginning of fall practice. . Put him in a room with a coach and maybe the designated hand signaller (DHS). Have the coach(or DHS) signal in the play. Have him decipher the signal and tell the coach what play he wants to run, what the formation is and what the snap count is (based largely on how long it will take to put anyone in motion if desired). All of this can be timed to simulate a play clock. This tests his knowledge of the play book and the hand signals without the pressure of the field (defense, down and distance, etc). Demonstrated mastery of this is required before progressing to the next step.
That would be...on the field in 7 on 7 live drills (not concentrating yet on reading the defense yet). Only after Golson has demonstrated mastery of this pre-play process, should anyone be concerned with his abilty to read the defense and change the play at the line of scrimmage. Then it is back to the film room where, using the same set up, Golson is now confronted with a defense on film. Same process as before...signal in the play, decipher the signal, call the play (formation, snap count, etc.), turn on the film, recognize the situation (defense, down and distance), either change the play or run the play as called...all while being timed with a play clock in the room.
Once that is mastered..take it back to the field in more live situations, either 7 on 7 or full team scrimmage and always with a play clock. Incidentally, based upon what I observed in the B-G scrimmage, I believe all of the QBs could benefit from this preparation, not just Golson. However, I believe Golson is probably the one most in need of it. The question I am begging to ask Kelly and staff is..."What has Golson been doing for the past year plus???!!!!
This post has been edited 2 times, most recently by Toro 2 years ago
Thank you. Excellent post. Your plan accomplishes exactly what I want to happen and
does it much more efficiently than the "flag football" approach I suggested earlier. How's
that, Irish Cedar??? But, I assume no coaches would be involved per your earlier comment
(I note the DHS is not a coach), although they might "set up" the program. Secondly, I
totally agree that all QBs could benefit and thirdly, I too, wonder what has been going
on with Golson (Hendrix as well) over the past year, plus?
I simply can not understand why ND is in this pickle. A "Tony Rice" type QB that
can't be "trusted" to play because he can't get plays called, set formations and count
and eventually, change or run the play. It shouldn't be this hard.

My kids loved the book Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. How they have enough to do a sequel to the movie I don’t know but the book was great. Yesterday afternoon was definitely overcast and surprisingly cool and it was time for some comfort food. We had some tortellini stuffed with cheese and prosciutto that I wanted to use and we needed to use some of the store bought tomato sauce we got for the homemade pizzas we made earlier in the week. But I wanted to create something and it’s been a long time since I made any sort of meatballs. Fortunately we had some ground beef on hand from a local farm.
This is a simple recipe which is perfect now the kids are back in school. The summer just flew by. Both are happy with the teachers they got and while they would prefer to still be on holiday it isn’t to tortuous heading off to school in the morning. 🙂
In a medium bowl I added the beef, one egg, 3 cloves of garlic finely chopped, fresh thyme from the garden and salt and pepper to taste.
As you hand mix this be careful not to manhandle it too much. My mixture was quite moist so I added a bit of panko bread crumbs to bring it together better.
To really give it some flavour I drizzled some real balsamic vinegar onto the mixture and incorporated it.
Form into smallish balls keeping them somewhat uniform in size. In a skillet with hot oil oil brown both sides.
Once both sides have been browned I finish them off in the oven at 400F/205C. This will only take a few minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside. I add them to the sauce and pasta towards the end to make sure they are warm. You don’t want to overcook them as they will dry out. In the skillet I sauteed peppers, onions, and mushrooms, added the sauce and balsamic vinegar. To finish I added some fresh basil. Once the pasta is cooked I tossed it in the sauce and added the meatballs.
Grate some fresh parmesan over it and enjoy! We had a lovely Merlot from Chile to pair with this dish.
Very good looking meat balls. With regard to going back to school —I was thinking how hard it must be for teachers going back. Can you imagine going back to teach in an inner city comprehensive after a month on the beach:)
Oh no, I wouldn’t have the patience! We’re lucky here that most of the teachers are really good and have a lot of energy.
Now this is my kind of comfort food, pasta with meat balls.Yours are the perfect size, too. I’m not a fan of the big guys. I bet your kids enjoyed this meal.
They did enjoy it! They are very easy to cook for so we’re lucky.
They sounds yummy!

San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich doesn’t expect Kawhi Leonard to return this season, he told reporters on Wednesday. Popovich did not officially rule out Leonard’s return, but said that to be ‘honest and logical,’ a return this year seemed unlikely.
Here’s video from Popovich addressing the media on Wednesday.
Here is the Popovich comments on Kawhi. Not ready to say he’s out for the season...just would be surprised. So, there’s that ... pic.twitter.com/C22ntHgbOY— Jabari Young (@JabariJYoung) February 21, 2018
Leonard has only played nine games this season beginning in mid-December and concluding with 28 minutes against the Denver Nuggets on Jan. 13. After that, the Spurs announced that Leonard would once again be shut down indefinitely, an issue that once again related to the troublesome right quad injury that caused him to miss training camp, preseason, and two months of the regular season.
According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Leonard has actually been medically cleared to return, but has decided not to:
If Leonard returns, it will be because he has decided he can manage the pain of the injury, according to the sources.
Here’s a timetable of Leonard’s injury, which has been strange and mysterious, especially since Tony Parker supposedly suffered a similar but worse version of the same ailment, only to return earlier this year.
San Antonio has been successful this season even without Leonard, who finished third in MVP voting last year, but they have recently slipped into a tie with the Minnesota Timberwolves for the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference. Since Dec. 30, San Antonio is only 10-13 in their 23 most recent games.
If Leonard can’t return this year, it would be easy to see the Spurs continue to slip and certainly hard to imagine them as realistic postseason contenders.

Lotus revived the Elite nameplate in 1974 with the introduction of the Type 75 Elite. The car was the first in a series of three models intended to take the company upmarket in the 1970s, with the other two being the front-engine Eclat and the mid-engine Esprit. The new Elite was a front-engined 2+2 hatchback designed in the typical Lotus fashion, with a fiberglass body mounted on a steel backbone chassis and independent suspension all-round. The rear suspension was noteworthy in that it utilized half shafts that acted as the upper suspension link as well as having inboard drum brakes (discs were introduced later). Motivation for this new car was Lotus's own 2-liter, 16-valve I-4 type 907 motor with 140 hp in U.S. trim. While the Elite was the first Lotus street car to use this motor, it had already seen use in the earlier Jensen-Healey convertible.
When introduced, the Elite was praised for its handling, comfort, utility, and design, but was criticized for reliability issues fairly quickly. This lackluster reliability was only further accentuated by the car's relatively high price and controversial kamm-tail styling. Lotus soon introduced different equipment and trim levels for the Elite with two of the noteworthy ones being the 503, which included power steering and air conditioning, and the 504 that offered a first for a Lotus: a Borg-Warner three-speed automatic gearbox. By 1980 the Lotus Elite benefitted from a galvanized chassis as well as a power bump in the form of a 2.2-liter version of the 907 motor, now called the 912. This improved Elite never came to the U.S. after Lotus's American importation agreement with Rolls-Royce was dissolved that same year.
With the previously mentioned criticisms noted, today the Elite represents a beautifully handling and relatively inexpensive way to get into four-seat Lotus ownership. Like many mid-1970s British cars, the Lotus Elite may require maintenance and parts sourcing at times, which can be expensive. The car, however, is quite affordably priced so as to lessen these pains.

Los Angeles Soccer: Palisades High School
Emmanuel Corona's bicycle kick seven minutes into overtime gave the South Los Angeles school a 2-1 triumph over San Fernando in the Large Schools final at Contreras Learning Center in downtown L.A.
The game was a rematch of the 2010 final, won by San Fernando.
Fremont (19-4-4), which last won a boys soccer title in 1993, appeared to score the winner with four minutes to play in regulation, when San Fernando goalkeeper Erick Garcia was whistled for a foul in the box, and Jose Alvarez converted the penalty kick. The Tigers (21-3-3) rallied on Omar Vasquez's header with 27 seconds to go.
In other City Section finals:
El Camino Real 6, Palisades 0: The Conquistadores (22-2-2) finished their easy march through the Divisional bracket, claiming their 11th top-tier girls title in a dozen years as Dylann O'Connor, Zoe Fishman and Jackie Hilario scored two goals each. Chatsworth also has 11 titles, most in City girls soccer.
El Camino Real, from Woodland Hills, outscored four playoff opponents, 28-0. Palisades (17-5-0), from Pacific Palisades, gave ECR its toughest battle.
Chatsworth High School was given a second chance when Granada Hills reported it had used an ineligible player in the CIF Los Angeles City Section girls soccer playoffs.
That chance didn't last long.
Top-seeded El Camino Real (21-2-2) romped into another title game, dismantling the Chancellors, 7-0, Wednesday evening to advance to Saturday afternoon's final against Palisades at Contreras Learning Center in downtown Los Angeles.
It's a rematch of last year's final, and ECR, from Woodland Hills, is looking for its 11th title in 12 years. Chatsworth holds the City Section record with 11 girls soccer championships. The Conquistadores have won their three playoff games by a combined 20-0 tally.
ECR romped to a 6-0 halftime lead as Dylann O'Connor scored two goals, and Zoe Fishman, Jackie Hilario and Carley McBeath each added a goal and an assist. It scored 20 goals in three shutout wins over the Chancellors this season.
Chatsworth (8-12-4) lost in overtime to Granada Hills in last week's quarterfinals, but the team was restored to the bracket when the Highlanders forfeited the victory Monday.
Palisades (17-4-0), from Pacific Palisades, won its semifinal Tuesday, with Katie van Daalen Wetters and Eve Babcock scoring in a 2-1 decision over Cleveland (13-9-5), from Reseda.
ECR won last year's matchup, 1-0, 27 minutes into overtime. Palisades' other trip to the final, in 2005, was a 4-0 loss to the Conquistadores.
El Camino Real High School's 10th CIF L.A. City Section girls soccer title required something extraordinary. Jackie Altschuld provided it.
The sophomore forward scored a spectacular goal 27 minutes into overtime Saturday night at Contreras Learning Center in Los Angeles to lift the top-seeded Conquistadores (20-2-3) past Palisades, 1-0, and into double digits.
ECR, from Woodland Hills, becomes the seventh team in state history to win at least 10 sectional titles and the second in the L.A. City Section. Chatsworth has won 11, but the Conquistadores' trophies have been won in 11 seasons.
Altschuld lifted the ball over a defender's head, raced past her to collect and fired into the upper-left corner with just three minutes to go before a penalty-kick shootout. ECR is unbeaten in its past 30 games against City Section opposition and is 48-1 in City playoff games since losing in the 2000 semifinals.
Dylann O'Connor nearly decided the match twice, but she hit the right post in the 69th minute and Pali goalkeeper Kiki Bailey made a superb save on her header three minutes before Altschuld struck.
Palisades, from Pacific Palisades, finished 24-1-0.
All L.A. City Section finals Friday and Saturday were played at Contreras.
In other championship games:
BOYS LARGE SCHOOLS
South East (South Gate) 0, Banning (Wilmington) 0, OT
(South East wins on penalties, 4-3)
Goalkeeper Juan Escobar was the hero, making two saves in the penalty-kick shootout to give the second-seeded Jaguars (20-2-11) their first boys soccer title. Escobar made a diving save on Alejandro Diaz on the fourth round of kicks to give South East command, then stopped Brian Gonzalez on Banning's next attempt to start the celebration. Escobar also made big saves on Joseph Jimenez and Peter Velazquez in the first 10 minutes and halted Jose Monroy one-on-one in the dying moments of regulation.


Turkish shipyard Numarine Yachts announced that its first flagship, M/Y Marla, won in the “Best Explorer Yacht” category at the Asia Boating Award 2018. The 32.5 meter yacht was delivered to its owner last summer. Its design is minimalistic and sophisticated—the perfect example of a compact explorer yacht. Despite its size, the vessel offers incredible volumes of internal living spaces on board, accommodating 12 guests comfortably with ample space and a variety of materials chosen by the owner, such as marbles, woods, leather, and brass.
M/Y Marla was designed by naval architect Umberto Tagliavini, a long-time Numarine collaborator. The yacht is capable, comfortable and efficient, with special care to reduce noise and vibration, featuring highly modern technology for easy manoeuvrability. The displacement hull allows a top speed of 14 knots with a cruise speed of 12 knots. M/Y Marla has proven seaworthy and was rightfully recognized for its aesthetics and performance.
The award ceremony took place at ONE°15 Marina, Singapore.

According to the latest anti-abortion news, the Appeals Court has determined that “Texas can cut off Planned Parenthood funding"
I am a long time Republican who has grown weary of the Party's current platform of right-wing extremism in too many areas of our daily lives.
I believe as Gov. Rick Perry does that the Federal Government should stay out of our daily personal lives and state affairs.
I believe as Perry does NOT, that State Government should stay out of our personal lives. During his tenure as Governor of Texas, Perry has shown time after time that he and the state want to control more aspects of our daily lives, especially those of women.
With this latest appeals decision on the extremist right-wing anti-abortion agenda, Perry and Texas Legislators have been provided the extreme right to legally tell women and various health care entities like Planned Parenthood what they can and can not do.
Before my fellow GOP members point a finger at me for saying these things, I do not believe that tax dollars should go to paying for abortions, but I believe that women have the right to make educated decisions about what they will do with their respective bodies and with any fetus inside those bodies. Otherwise stated: I am pro-life up until the individual woman has the right to determine her actions for herself. Government should not have that right --- but as of today in Texas, it does.
Despite what the Appeals Court determined, the state's interference in women's lives is still unconstitutional. Anyone with half a brain can see that. The fact that the Appeals court ruled in favor of Perry and the state shows how far right extremist our court system and Texas has become.
Perry continues to complain about and fight against Federal interference in State and private agendas, but here in Texas as our Governor, Rick Perry believes he is King with divine rights and the court has just reaffirmed his belief. Something stinks like week old fish, deep in the heart of Texas.

Joanna Lumley has confirmed that Absolutely Fabulous creator Jennifer Saunders has an idea for a movie version of the cult classic.
There's just a tiny twist - Joanna will have to 'pressure' Saunders into turning the idea into a script.
The star of French and Saunders just needs some gentle prodding to get going, claims Joanna: “Yes. She has the idea.
"I think with a little bit of, not too painful, pressure, a little bit of vice-like grip and a Chinese burn on the arm, up behind her back, she always needs a little bit of urging, I think it’ll happen.
"Jennifer tends to work to deadlines," the actress told Jonathan Ross. "So we’ve got to create a deadline and then get her there.”
Asked whether she could reveal a snippet of a hint about the plot, the actress remained tight-lipped, saying: “No, I can’t. I can’t, it would be so wrong.
"And then she’d go back into this camel state she sometimes lives in. I don’t mean literally, what I mean is she goes into this sphinx area where she just won’t speak again.
"So I won’t tell you anything about it. But I think it’s always time to goad her along by saying, ‘Yes, we will do it. Yes, it’s going to be written, and it’s going to be fabulous.’"
Jennifer recently told GT magazine that Joanna was the driving force behind the movie.
"Well Joanna really wants a film. I don't think she's up for a TV series," says Saunders. "I think she wants... [as Joanna Lumley] a lovely film. South of France, darling. Lovely film in the South of France."
The Jonathan Ross Show airs tonight at 10.50pm on ITV1.

A week ago from today the Bridger Foothills Fire burned through the canyon. But instead of focusing on what happened, the community is coming together to move forward.
“My wife and I were talking and she said well wouldn’t you want somebody to be able to call at any time of the day, email them and they will have answers for you and I said absolutely and she said well be that person,” explained Jared Kaplan, a resident of Jackson Creek.
After residents were able to return, 36-year-old Kaplan quickly became the go-to person for help. But he also came close to experiencing the results of the fire, firsthand.
“The sheriffs rolled in on Saturday around 3 o’clock and said get out now it’s coming and we did,” he said.
The fire was right in their backyard.
“It was just a big smoke plume and then when the wind kicked up, it was gigantic. It looked like a volcano,” Kaplan explained.
After a few days, neighboring residents joined together to help each other out.
“There’s a Facebook page here about the information, and I was like amazing. So, Evan Locke who created that page, is a lifesaver for everyone here and just went through that page and started giving out the correct information that everyone needed,” he said.
Which turned into a system of neighbors helping neighbors with Jared serving as a community leader.
“I didn’t even hesitate. I said absolutely. I just wanted to do it because I’d want somebody as a resource for me if I had that. That’s who I’d want to be," he said.
And if there are any victims out there struggling, Jared has a message for you.
“I know you guys are trying to be the strong person for your family. Don’t. I’m here. Let me be that person for you guys, and let me guide you. It doesn’t hurt to ask for help. Trust me, and if you’re going to ask for help, now is the time to ask for it.”
A week ago from today the Bridger Foothills Fire burned through the canyon. But instead of focusing on what happened, the community is coming together to move forward," he encouraged.
The Bridger Foothills Fire Relief Fund is still active and taking donations.

text: So, last night, I work on Lehman's Chicago style crust. I halved the portions I'd been using, but didn't half the yeast (due to it being a tiny packet and wanting to try a sub roll anyway). So, tonight was pizza night. My daughter helped me make the pizza. My wife had used all but about a pound of cheese and had used my crushed tomatoes. It was Hunt's spaghetti sauce for the sauce -- how sad is that? But by golly, I was making pizza. As stated, my daughter helped me with rolling out the dough, saucing, cheesing, and loading it with 'shrooms. She loves her 'shrooms. So, out of desperation to have enough food, I took the remaining dough (that should have been pizza #2) and made bread sticks. This round of pizza was about the crust, plain and simple. My single sub roll is in a baggie waiting for tomorrow (simulating a real restaurant not using everything hot out of the oven). So, my daughter tears into the bread sticks, actually SHOVING them in her mouth. The pizza is just sitting on her plate, not even touched until the very end. This is the pizza she helped make and she's gobbling up the bread sticks (Little Ceasar's crazy bread type). Needless to say, my question about how good the crust is was answered. The recipe is a keeper! It's easy to like the food you make, but it's even better when other people like it.
