Ukrainian born actress Milla Jovovich revealed that she is "heartbroken and dumbstruck" after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The star of The Fifth Element and Resident Evil expressed her feelings in a lengthy and heartfelt Instagram post.
"I am heartbroken and dumbstruck trying to process the events of this week in my birthplace of Ukraine."
"My country and people being bombed."
"Friends and family in hiding."
Her mother being Russian, Jovovich shared how having both Russian and Ukrainian ancestry made witnessing the horrors taking place in her home country all the more painful.
"My blood and my roots come from both Russia and Ukraine."
" I am torn in two as I watch the horror unfolding, the country being destroyed, families being displaced, their whole life lying in charred fragments around them."
Witnessing the footage also reminded Jovovich of the stories her Serbian father told her about growing up in Yugoslavia, and increased her dismay that war and violence continue to be a consistent problem all over the world.
"I remember the war in my father’s homeland of former Yugoslavia and the stories my family tells of the trauma and terror they experienced."
"War. Always war."
"Leaders who cannot bring peace."
"The never ending juggernaut of imperialism."
" And always, the people pay in bloodshed and tears."
Jovovich also included a link in her profile which provides information on how to aid the people of Ukraine.
While Jovovich closed the comments section on her Instagram post, several of her fans took to Twitter to express how moved they were by her words.
Jovovich is one of a number of celebrities either born in Ukraine or with deep ties to Ukraine who are using their voice to express their support during the Russian invasion.
Adam Nimoy pointed out his late father Leonard's Ukrainian roots.
Oscar winner Marlee Matlin shared her family's Ukrainian connections as well.
Ashton Kutcher, who's wife Mila Kunis was born in Ukraine, tweeted his support for Ukraine in a simple, concise tweet.
Hayden Panetierre also shared a heartfelt post on Instagram, citing her ties to Ukraine and urging her fans to come to the aid of the Ukrainian people.
Panetierre has a daughter with Ukrainian born boxer Wladimir Klitschko, the brother of Kyiv's mayor Vitali Klitschko.
"I have personally witnessed the strength of the Ukranian people who fought so hard for their independence and have continued to passionately defend their country over the years."
"What Putin is odin is an absolute disgrace!"
"For now, I ask for those of us who can't be there to stand shoulder to shoulder in solidarity with the peop,e of Ukraine and shor your support for #democracy."
Wladimir Klitschko, for his part, took to Instagram to thank all his European friends who have come forward in their support of Ukraine, offering an English translation in the video's caption.
"Thank you to all our European friends who support Ukraine and Ukrainians with all their hearts and want to help us! "
"Accounts have been opened in national banks of several countries for donations to help Ukrainians."
Maksim Chmerkovskiy, a former pro dancer on ABC's Dancing With the Stars, and who is currently a judge on the Ukrainian version of the show, has been documenting the invasion and its aftermath regularly on his Instagram account, posting a number of sobering pictures and videos.
Maksim's brother Val, also a former pro dancer on Dancing With The Stars, recently posted a video of a protest against the invasion he attended in Hollywood.
Earlier in the week, Val posted a heartfelt message about how he and his family fled Ukraine when he was a child to avoid war and conflict, only to find his brother there today amidst the invasion.
"My parents fled this country for this exact reason."
"Not because it wasn't good to them, but because their kids would see war eventually."
"It's a cruel Irony that 28 years later my brother is in a bomb shelter in Kyiv."
"If they hadn't left, I would be on the front lines defending my home right now."
Val stood firm in his belief that the invasion had nothing to do with the people of Russia, and that president Vladimir Putin was solely responsible for all that transpired.
"The Russian people don't want this."
"We stood by each other's side."
"I am a proud Ukrainian, and now the world will finally know the difference."
"And to all my Russian friends, this might be the best and only time to stand up to your dictator."
It hasn't only been celebrities with direct ties to Ukraine who have been stepping up in support of the country's suffering and displaced people.
Celebrity power couple Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have both tweeted their intent to support matches of up to $1 million to come to the aid of displaced Ukrainians.
All of the funds raised will go to the United Nations High Commission for Refugees, who have promised to send "lifesaving aid" to roughly three million Ukrainian refugees.

Information in the COVID-19 Era: Between the Reality and the Fantasy
Written By Ngozi Perpetual Osuchukwu
Information is a great resource, no doubt. Now, when it is embellished with literacy and use of media, it becomes more value added. The use of graphics, tables, figures, pictures and data has made information to be easier for some people. This is what information on COVID-19 comes with, majorly. The essence is to ensure deep understanding from the elite, the average, the children and the illiterate. The picture and graphics depict simple messages to be followed without too much grammar, thus reaching everyone, everywhere and everytime. But then, it still requires some level of information literacy to pick the real message that is authentic and authoritative.
The various sources of information packaged in many formats on COVID-19 have become sources of worry. One begins to wonder which is true and which is false. It becomes so bad when many people do not even check the authenticity of what they see or read. For this group, they waste no time in forwarding or copying and pasting. All they care for is to be the first to share the sensational information without caring about the authenticity and the aftermath.
Over the social media and internet, various information criss-cross at alarming frequencies, causing great stress. But one thing remains certain: COVID-19 is real and we must not joke with it. Thus, it becomes necessary that some sort of sanity is employed to minimize misinformation, disinformation, malinformation and various fake news, for health sustainability.
It is on this note that Nigerian Library Association themed the 2020 Library Week “Library and Information Services During and After COVID-19”. This is to ensure that effective information and updates are shared to every sector. All the guidelines and protocols established by NCDC must be duly followed.
In view of this, information and messages are packaged in different media and taken to different schools and public places to remind everyone the importance of staying safe while using the facemask, regular hand washing and use of sanitizer. Let no one be decieved to play with his health. Health is basic and life is dear.
We enjoin everyone to keep taking safe actions. Be part of herald of authentic message instead of sharing or posting what you are not sure of. Shun information misconduct, add your voice and take actions in creating the society we want. To stop misinformation in this COVID-19 era, there must be sanity in sharing messages. It is the acceptable way of building safe humanity and community. Thus, with misinformation and disinformation under control, the exaggerated and inaccurate information will be reduced to the barest minimum. Achieving this requires the supports of both individuals and groups. We must join hands to sanitise and edify the society by saying no to fake information.

About 3 years ago, physicians in Quebec noticed an alarming pattern in patients with diarrhea. “All of a sudden, we were having patients so sick that they needed the ICU [intensive-care unit],” says doctor and epidemiologist Sandra Dial. The same illness was also sending patients to the morgue as never before. They weren’t succumbing to the ailment that brought them to the hospital. Instead, they seemed to have gotten sick from their antibiotic treatment.
As an antibiotic attacks its target, it can also kill harmless flora, the term for the billions of bacteria that live in healthy intestines. Invaders, mainly the pathogen Clostridium difficile, can flock to the colon’s open real estate.
Doctors treat C. difficile by suspending the culpable antibiotic therapy and administering a different one. While usually curable, the diarrheal disease recurs repeatedly in some patients and occasionally causes life-threatening inflammation of the colon.
C-diff, as it’s called, is a rising problem across North America and in parts of Europe. A virulent, once-rare strain has driven a string of recent outbreaks and is suspected to be responsible for much of the overall increase in the disease. New resistance to widely used antibiotics seems to have made the microbe more likely to cause diarrhea in sick and elderly people.
At the same time, scattered cases of C. difficile among people not normally susceptible to it have researchers concerned.
Before December 2002, Dial had seen only three cases of C. difficile in 8 years at the McGill University–affiliated ICUs where she works. Then, she says, “we had five patients in 1 month.”
Parallel epidemics were soon under way elsewhere in the region. More than 7,000 C. difficile cases occurred in Quebec hospitals in 2003, affecting up to 2.5 percent of patients. By early 2005, 30 centers in the province were seeing at least five times as many cases as they had identified in previous years.
In the United States, “the rate of C-diff in hospital patients doubled between 2000 and 2003,” says L. Clifford McDonald of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta.
In response, researchers have identified unique characteristics of the newly virulent strain—and have revealed a grimmer picture of C. difficile than the one familiar to most physicians.
“Ten years ago, we didn’t believe people died of this,” Dial says. “It was very unusual. Now, unfortunately, it’s not unusual.”
Previously, elderly people staying in health care facilities and nursing homes were virtually the only targets of C. difficile. Now, the bacterium is gaining notoriety for illnesses in seemingly vigorous people.
Last year, for instance, the pathogen felled a 31-year-old Pennsylvania woman who was pregnant with twins. Early in her second trimester, she went to the emergency room with worsening diarrhea. Despite treatment that night and during two subsequent hospital stays, within a month she delivered stillborn fetuses and died of complications of colon inflammation.
In the Dec. 2, 2005 Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, McDonald and his collaborators in four states describe this case and 34 other recent illnesses caused by C. difficile contracted outside health care facilities.
To tease out the changing characteristics of C-diff, Jacques Pépin and his colleagues at the University of Sherbrooke Hospital Center in Quebec combed through data on 5,619 hospital patients treated between January 2003 and June 2004. Nearly 300 of the patients had developed the disease.
Compared with the other patients, those who’d contracted C. difficile tended to be older and to have had longer hospital stays. Those infected were also more likely to have recently used an antibiotic of the cephalosporin family, the team found.
Those antibiotics had been previously linked to outbreaks. The diarrhea-causing bacterium is usually resistant to cephalosporins, but normal colon bacteria are not. Therefore, the drugs create a wide-open opportunity for C. difficile. Swallowing a spore of the bacterium during cephalosporin therapy could result in an infection that otherwise wouldn’t have gained a foothold.
In the Nov. 1, 2005 Clinical Infectious Diseases, the Sherbrooke researchers also link C. difficile to a class of antibiotics that had only infrequently turned up in earlier work. Fluoroquinolones, the most widely used antimicrobials in the United States, fight infections of the respiratory and urinary tracts, the skin, and other tissues. Ciprofloxacin is the main drug in this class.
In early 2004, researchers at Sherbrooke and 11 other Quebec hospitals joined forces to investigate what they regarded as the province’s plague. Led by microbiologist Vivian G. Loo of McGill, they ultimately studied 1,703 patients who acquired C. difficile during the first half of that year.
The infected patients represented 2.25 percent of all people hospitalized at the 12 centers during the study. That reflects an infection rate four times as high as that in earlier data.
Almost 7 percent of the 2004 infections were fatal. That rate, too, is at least four times as high as that found in the past, Loo says.
As in the Sherbrooke study, patients who developed C-diff were more likely than other patients to have used fluoroquinolones while hospitalized, the researchers report in the Dec. 8, 2005 New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).
More than 80 percent of the infected patients had acquired a single, fluoroquinolone-resistant form of the pathogen, making that strain primarily responsible for the Quebec outbreaks, Loo’s team concludes.
A novel mutant
To characterize the guilty strain, Pépin, McDonald, and six collaborators analyzed 124 C. difficile samples taken from Sherbrooke patients in 2004 and early 2005. They also looked at 30 recent samples from other patients in Quebec, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
Disease-causing C. difficile produce at least two colon-inflaming substances, called toxin A and toxin B. Rare strains that make neither toxin don’t result in illness. Scientists have occasionally identified strains that produce a third toxin, called binary toxin.
The new outbreak strain always produces binary toxin, the researchers determined. Furthermore, they found, it produces 16 times as much toxin A and 23 times as much toxin B as typical hospital strains of C. difficile do.
Genetic traits also set apart the dangerous strain. For example, the researchers identified a standard C. difficile gene that was uniformly mutated in the samples. The mutation may account for the excess production of toxins A and B, the team suggested in the Sept. 24, 2005 Lancet. Extra toxin may lead to more severe diarrhea, and, therefore, greater spread of the pathogen in hospitals.
The mutant strain, which the researchers labeled NAP1/027, had infected patients in all three countries in the study.
It has also caused recent outbreaks in the Netherlands and Belgium, says Dale N. Gerding of Hines Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Illinois.
Until recently, NAP1/027 was rare, he says. “It was definitely present in other hospitals 20 years ago, but it wasn’t causing epidemics,” he says.
Gerding, McDonald, and their collaborators made that assessment after comparing 187 recent samples of C. difficile, collected between 2001 and 2003, with more than 6,000 older samples. About half of the recent samples were NAP1/027.
Genetic similarities indicated that 14 older samples dating to 1984 were of the same, newly troublesome strain. NAP1/027 made binary toxin in the 1980s, but it was not resistant to most fluoroquinolones before 2001, the researchers report in the Dec. 8, 2005 NEJM.
“Fluoroquinolone resistance is unusual and new for this strain,” Gerding says. Use of those antibiotics in hospitals has increased tremendously over the past 2 decades, which could explain the success of the newly resistant variant, he says.
But Dial suggests that antibiotics aren’t the only medications contributing to the epidemic. She and three McGill colleagues have found possible links between C. difficile infection and some commonly used drugs, particularly acid reducers that treat heartburn, indigestion, and stomach ulcers in millions of people.
In studying a U.K. database that doesn’t track individual strains, Dial’s team found that people who acquired C. difficile outside the hospital were three times as likely as uninfected people to use proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), such as Prilosec, and twice as likely to use H2 blockers, an older class of acid reducers.
Dormant C. difficile spores are resistant to acid, but replicating cells are susceptible. So, normal concentrations of stomach acid could suppress the organism’s activity—until a person takes an acid reducer, Dial says.
Use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is also slightly elevated among the people with C. difficile, her team reports in the Dec. 21, 2005 Journal of the American Medical Association.
Gerding, along with doctors from a Portland, Maine, hospital, separately found an association between PPIs and C. difficile. Robert C. Owens Jr. of the Maine Medical Center presented that finding at the Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy in Washington, D.C., last December.
But Gerding says that it’s “an open question” whether the acid reducers contribute to infection. Data sets analyzed by Loo and by Pépin don’t suggest a link.
In any case, says Gerding, “antibiotics are still the overwhelming risk factor.”
In the United States, the newly troublesome strain continues to spread. “CDC has documented the strain in 16 states,” McDonald says.
In Quebec, the worst-hit Canadian province, diligent efforts in hospitals have brought the new bug under control—to a degree. Compared with the epidemic’s early&150;2003 peak, says Loo, “our rates are halved.” But they’re still significantly elevated from pre-epidemic rates, she notes.
Hospitals employed a multifaceted approach to rein in the epidemic. First, they increased the frequency of cleanings. Rooms with C. difficile–infected patients now get scrubbed down twice a day, Loo says. And to fight C. difficile‘s hardy spores, bleach has been substituted for gentler agents.
Second, hospitals spent new funds from the Canadian government to buy more of their most frequently used medical items, such as blood pressure cuffs, so that equipment that might pick up spores doesn’t get shuttled from room to room. “We also eliminated rectal thermometers,” Loo says.
Furthermore, hospitals installed more sinks to encourage hand washing and created new rooms to reduce patient crowding in some older hospitals.
“We also changed our hand-hygiene practice,” Loo says. “Alcohol hand rinses decrease the concentration of the bacteria, but washing at the sink was still better.”
Finally, she says, the hospitals made an effort to educate physicians and medical residents on appropriate antibiotic use. That effort has somewhat reduced unnecessary administration of fluoroquinolones and other drugs, but more progress is needed, says Loo.
Fire with fire
At the December conference on antimicrobial agents, Gerding described new tests conducted on a strain of C. difficile that might prevent, rather than cause, disease.
Scientists had previously observed that hospitalized people who already carry a harmless form of the bacterium are unlikely to pick up a disease-causing strain. So, Gerding and his team took a non–toxin-making strain from a healthy person and introduced it into laboratory hamsters. Then, they exposed the animals to a strain that normally kills hamsters within 48 hours. The hamsters stayed healthy.
Gerding says that he is seeking the Food and Drug Administration’s permission to test the protective strain in people.
While the approach is “counterintuitive,” says McDonald, “there’s a couple of lines of evidence to suggest it holds promise.”
Other experimental approaches aim to strengthen the gut’s defenses. The closest to fruition, according to McDonald, is a strategy in which a polymer binds to and inactivates the bacterium’s toxins. Genzyme Corp. of Cambridge, Mass., developed the polymer, which it calls tolevamer. After promising preliminary results, the company launched a treatment trial that it projects will include more than 1,000 C. difficile–infected volunteers by the end of this year.
A positive outcome could lead to the first treatment for the antibiotic-associated illness that does not employ an antibiotic.

Pervaiz Elahi nominated as Punjab Assembly speaker
11 August, 2018
Pervaiz Elahi the PML-Q leader and former deputy prime minister has been nominated as Punjab Assembly speaker. The PML-Q, which won four NA seats, had earlier announced its support for the PTI both at the Centre and in Punjab.
During Gen Musharraf’s regime, Mr Elahi had served as the chief minister of Punjab.
At the press talk, Mr Qureshi thanked the party allies namely PML-Q, Balochistan National Party, Muttahida Qaumi Movement, Awami Muslim League and others for supporting the PTI. He said the PTI wanted to have a meeting with all parliamentarians of the PTI and allied parties to chalk out the future line of action. In this connection, he added, a grand meeting of parliamentarians would be held on Aug 13.
He said the PTI would support BAP president Jam Kamal for the slot of Balochistan chief minister.
Mr Qureshi said the PTI also made some senior party leaders as focal persons to have close coordination with the parliamentarians. For this, he said, Mr Khattak would look after the KP and Fata region; Mr Alvi would take care of parliamentarians elected from Sindh. Shafqat Mehmood would coordinate with MNAs from central Punjab, Chaudhry Sarwar would coordinate with members from west Punjab, while Amir Kiyani would coordinate with north Punjab and he himself would coordinate with members from south Punjab.
Asked about the delay in commencement of the NA session and subsequent election of the PM, Mr Qureshi said: “It was because of some legal compulsion and the process of finalisation of election results by the ECP.

Very welcoming, efficient, polite, timely experience. Advanced information answered all the questions I had. Respectful of the COVID-19 safety requirements. All team members put me to ease. They instilled my confidence that all would go well. We highly recommend Dr DiLella.
I am very happy with his sessions with Jacob. He is articulate,and informative and patent to both myself as well as my client your patient. He works the mucels needed to reach his potential. He gives him the workout that seams to be working for him. I have sat in on many sessions with several therapists o er the years I am very please with Vero Orthopedics. I however am surprises at the new rehab facility. I would have thought the floor space woulf be larger then the other the working floor space it about the same. Yes the windows and high ceiling and reception, lobby area give the Illusion of a larger. But actual work area seems ro be the same. That is unfortunate for emplyees as well as patients. With a full scehdual it will be as crammed as the other but noisier than the old facility. It is a beautiful building. In my opion it just needs adustments.

Lexington, KY – August 5, 2011 – There was nothing but sunshine at the Kentucky Horse Park for the third day of the Kentucky Summer Classic. Today, talented horse and rider combinations competed at the Rolex Stadium during the High and Low Junior/Amateur-Owner Jumper classes. Taking home the blue ribbon in the High Junior/Amateur-Owner Jumper class was Christina Kelly aboard Creata Van Ten Biesen, posting the target time for the jump-off as the first duo to compete in the class. Michael Murphy mirrored her success aboard Ultrafox in the Low Junior Jumper class, claiming the blue with no pair coming near his jump-off time.
Leopoldo Palacios of Venezuela used the many of the same obstacles from last night’s $25,000 Hagyard Lexington Classic in the High Junior/Amateur-Owner Jumper class today in the Rolex Stadium. The obstacles included a liverpool, two vertical-oxer double combinations, and a vertical-vertical double combination. For the jump-off, riders began with a single vertical bending to a single oxer bending to the vertical with a turn to a single oxer. Riders then faced the vertical-oxer combination with a left rollback to the single oxer finishing the jump-off with the yellow-and-white-striped vertical.
Twenty-four horse and rider combinations attempted the first round in the High Junior/Amateur-Owner Jumpers; however, sixteen succeeded into the jump-off with an amazing eleven riders going double clean. Christina Kelly was the first to do so with Creata Van Ten Biesen, owned by Diamond Edge Farm of Nicholasville, KY, setting the jump-off target time from the start at 36.864 seconds.
“It felt great to be the first one in, I was hoping she would get into the jump-off, and once she did, we just went fast and clear,” described Kelly. “It was intense watching everyone try and get our time; one girl was really close and I was a little bit nervous, but it worked out and I was so happy to win!”

check to make double sure. The only hard part is getting the holes
exactly the right size and exactly the right spacing. Use a V-block to
accurately drill the first hole centered in the bar at the same
distance from the end as in the original; then use a long roll pin to
pin the old and new rods together. Clamp the two rods together in a
vise so they cannot wander side to side and drill the new rod through
the hole in the old rod. Cut the rod to match the old rod length and
you should have a perfect new rod. Check that everything lines up and
make the second one the same way.
If you have a good enough drill stainless steel would be ideal. Chrome
plated would be my second choice, but any steel will work. 1045 steel
is good quality and 1095 is better. I would NOT use the cheap Chinese
crap that most home centers and hardware stores now carry if you want it
Have I done this before?

i put a thermal cob mixture on the bell and the barrel of my heater that i think has too little sand (because i didn't want to run out of sand before the job was done).
i removed large cracking pieces and reapplied a thermal cob mixture containing more sand on the barrel and it seems to be ok (haven't used the heater yet this season).
i patched the dozens of hairline cracks in the thermal cob layer on brick sides of the bell with the sandier thermal cob mixture. however, cracks re-emerged as it dried so i'm adding more sand to to the thermal cob mixture.
how wise would it be to remove all the existing thermal cob from the sides of the brick bell before applying the latest, sandier batch of thermal cob VS. patching over the existing cracks?

SIMEDHealth is proud to announce that we have a new psychologist joining our team! Carmen Tozzo, Ph.D., is a licensed clinical psychologist who is fluent in both English and Spanish. She will start seeing patients in our Chiefland location in January. We talked to Dr. Tozzo about her background, her training in becoming a psychologist, and what she likes to do in her free time.
Why did you choose to become a psychologist?
I became interested in psychology as an undergraduate at the University of Iowa when I took a class in Behavioral Psychology. I particularly appreciate the evidence-based and scientific roots of this field. Afterward, I worked in the labs of the experimental psychologist, Dr. Isaacson, and clinical psychologist, Dr. Cynthia Belar, at the University of Florida. From those experiences, I knew I wanted to make this my life work.
After finishing your studies, what additional training did you do to become a psychologist?
Following graduate school, I completed my internship at Boston University Medical Center, a postdoctoral fellowship in Behavioral Medicine also at Boston University, and then a second fellowship in Neuropsychology at a hospital affiliate of Brigham's and Women's Hospital.
What conditions are you able to diagnose and treat?
I evaluate and provide care for patients with all types of mental health conditions, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, post-trauma, cognitive assessments, and stress-related disorders.
How would you describe your manner when talking with a patient?
My training and theoretical approach is cognitive-behavioral therapy, and I take a collaborative approach to treatment. On the outset, my clients and I discuss goals for treatment.
What do you enjoy doing outside of work?
Out of the office, I enjoy spending time with friends and family. I enjoy outdoor activities. I am an avid cave-diver and recently completed advanced training in this area.
What are you most looking forward to now that you've joined SIMEDHealth?
I am looking forward to collaborating and working with a great group of doctors, advanced care practitioners, and psychologists at SIMEDHealth. The energy and professionalism of the people I have met is contagious.

Now that the regular season is over it's time for fans to rally around the teams representing ELP in the playoffs. Go Rams!!!
Saw Tascosa destroy El Dorado last year with the triple option. They hardly threw the ball. The rams better be working run stopping. that is all they do
If MW plays a mistake free game coupled with a balanced run/pass attack they have a very good chance of winning the game. This could very well be their only playoff game so they need to play to win and figure out how to get the ball to their playmaker #4 Tyreese Andrus.
Dress warm. Amarillo tends to be kind of cool around this time
The Rams will be ready, dyed hair and all...lol.
Tascosa does what they do very well...they are well schooled at option football and they are very big and physical up front with good speed in the backfield....they are built for cold and wind...doesn't phase them at all...the key for Montwood is winning first down...gotta get Tascosa in 2nd and 7 or more...if you dont they'll hold the ball for half a quarter....
MW will definitely have their work cut out for them against Tascosa. A team that has perfected the triple option run scheme, which has been very successful for them this season. In addition to the run MW cannot match Tascosa in size or speed. Tascosa also has a very aggressive and physical defense to contend with. On top of that they will have the home field advantage.
MW has to control the clock. Having a lone RB in the backfield may not work against Tascosa, so put a lead blocker in front of De Anda and let him do the rest. MW has several good WRs that they can throw to, including Tyreese Andrus but the O-Line needs to give the QB time to throw the football. In for the MW coaches this is not the game to be conservative, it maybe time to dust off that old play book for this game.
So is this game being played on Friday or Saturday?
You lost me with your post. Nobody said anything about the Rams being a young team.
But anyway I stand by my comments. Montwood's offense struggled against Eastwood and Tascosa is a much better team. So if MW has any chance of winning this game, which I believe they do and will pull it out in the end, but QB Fernandez, RB De Anda, and WR Andrus must all have good games.
Defense: Tascosa is primarily a running team so you don't need to safeties.
But MWs defense needs to be very aggressive...and not stand around waiting for somebody else to make the tackle. LB Apodaca and DE/DT Frutig will be key on defense.
Now i know you dont pay attention mw doesnt use 2 safeties
I find it hard to expect MW to hold them down, they have a big line, not huge but over 250 across the line easily. MW just bot big enough to handle that line, MW linebackers are to small. I think this was discussed very early in the season. I would love to have MW prove everyone wrong on the LB's but when your LB are 5'8" 170 avg going up against 6'2 250+ linemen, kinda hard to stop the run.
I hope MW proves people wrong.
You are right, it's not something they do very often but they did use two safeties against Eastwood.
And how would you know? It's called making defensive adjustments during the game.
They told us this Friday at 6:30. Drive safe and good luck. It should be a good game.
MW coaches are absolutely clueless on both sides of ball tonight. Tascosa is having a field day running the same play over and over. #22 and #7 are constantly getting burned. The offense looks confused or maybe alittle shell shocked lol. But they better figure it out the second half or it's going to be a long ride home tonight.
27-10 Tascosa at the half
I think MW has given up.
Congratulations to the Montwood Rams on their great season and a share of the district title! Let's not forget nobody expected the Rams to make any noise this season under their new coach, thus proving a lot of people wrong that doubted them. On top of that the Rams have some good players returning for next season so I foresee another battle in 6A for district in 2017.
My son is the starting MLB for Tascosa. We to have a very young team. What I saw last night was a Ram team that played with a lot heart and they fought hard. The disadvantage they had was the offense we run. That offense is hard to replicate in practice and when it's hitting, it's hitting. Your boys came out fired up because numerous times I could hear the hits your guys were making and I sat at the very top. Montwood had some early mistakes or turnovers that didn't help them either. I'm saying it would have change the course of the game but it certainly didn't help them. I thought 51played a great game on the defensive side and it looked as if this young man fought hard the entire game. Everybody sitting around me was very impressed with your QB. Sure he made a few mistakes but he has a great arm. I see a lot potential with your team. Last year we went three rounds in and lost a close to Denton Ryan. After watching that game I really felt our athletic director should schedule games with teams from the metro. You guys , MW Eldorado and Americas, are in the same boat. You have a good foundation but you don't get better playing the same stale teams you only get better playing better talent. Permian central and Midland high all went out and scheduled better non conference opponents. We played the number 1 ranked 5A school in Oklahoma but lost the thing killing or stopping y'all from doing the same is your location. God luck next year.
Congratulations to the entire Montwood family of players, coaches, parents and fans on a great season. In to all the seniors, that are hopefully moving on to college, including those that decide not to go to college, good luck in all of your future endeavors.

Plans & Pricing
Does My Company Subscribe?
Netflix, the US-based online film and video service, made headlines when it launched in six European countries this September. But it’s just one of many players hoping to take advantage of increasing video consumption in the region. Total revenues generated by over-the-top (OTT) video—that is, video content streamed via the internet, rather than broadcast—in Western, Central and Eastern Europe rose 51% in 2013, to $3.2 billion, according to recent research by Strategy Analytics. Its “2014 European OTT Video Market Forecast” predicted further growth of 43% this year. In Western Europe, subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) services were expected to see the most dramatic leap: an estimated 103% in 2014 alone.
More widespread broadband provision, the explosion in connected devices and the growing range of video content on offer have all contributed to the rapid rise of OTT video viewing—and will continue to drive even broader adoption. An early 2014 “Socialogue” survey by Ipsos OTX and Ipsos Global @dvisor found that substantial numbers of internet users ages 16 to 64 across Europe were watching video in a variety of ways. Live TV was still the most popular, but in most countries monitored, streaming or downloading to a computer or watching VOD were the second and third most common behaviors.
Most of the revenue growth in Europe will be associated with online SVOD and ad-supported video, Strategy Analytics predicted. Ad-funded video services will generate less than half of OTT revenues in Western Europe in 2014, according to the report, but more than 60% of OTT income in Central and Eastern Europe.
Researchers emphasized that while consumers across Europe are embracing online video, “from a consumption, and even more importantly, monetization perspective, OTT video is just beginning to hit its stride.”
The report also pointed out that consumers are increasingly unconcerned about actually possessing video content in the form of a DVD or a paid-for download that they can own. Instead, having desired content on tap is more important—meaning that “accessibility and availability will trump ownership,” as one analyst noted.

She may be Miss America, but for 50 years she's been married to television.
The tube has linked the contest from its Atlantic City, N.J., home to millions of heartland living rooms and made winners into stars. But lately, the relationship has turned bumpy as ratings dipped and TV executives took more control.
"If Miss America ever finds itself unable to be on television, I think it will probably go out of existence," said Leonard Horn, a former Miss America Organization CEO. "I don't think it can survive without television."
As the pageant celebrates its golden anniversary on the small screen at 8 p.m. Saturday on ABC, the show is getting its biggest makeover ever in hopes of reclaiming relevance in a world of multiplying entertainment options.
The master of ceremonies will be Chris Harrison, normally seen hosting "The Bachelor" and its sister show, "The Bachelorette." The swimsuits will be provided by Speedo -- and skimpier than ever. The program has been trimmed from three hours to two, but "off-the-cuff" backstage scenes have been added. And instead of seeing the talent performances of all five finalists, viewers will see only the final two.
Acting Miss America CEO Art McMaster disputes the notion that ABC has forced the competition to change, but said the television show was the essence of Miss America.
"We've never shied away from the fact that television is the catalyst that promotes the whole Miss America system," McMaster said. "It shows America what we're all about."
Alas, Miss America is no longer what it once was. In the 1950s and early '60s -- before cable, satellite dishes and DVDs -- the televised pageant was the Super Bowl of its day.
Television's money enabled Miss America, first held in 1921, to withstand the feminist backlash of the 1960s. Horn said that was because the pageant's scholarships kept women competing, sometimes despite their political objections.
One of the most famous Miss Americas was the first to be crowned on television: Lee Meriwether, who in 1956 became one of the first women on NBC's "Today" show and played Catwoman in the 1966 "Batman" movie.
Would she have gotten those breaks without her pageant being on television? "Probably not," she said, "because what it offered was more recognition."
Today, the program is not reaching as many young girls -- or anyone else -- as it once did. Some 27 million viewers saw the first televised Miss America coronation, making it one of the highest-rated moments in the history of television to that date. By 1960, the viewing audience had grown to 85 million.
But last year, 10.3 million viewers tuned in for the competition won by Miss Florida, Ericka Dunlap.
Pageant officials and TV experts said the general shrinkage of the network television audience was partly responsible for Miss America's long ratings slide.
But the event isn't doing well compared with other programming. For example, prime-time coverage of the summer Olympics on NBC attracted at least 18 million viewers each night -- and sometimes more than 30 million. Episodes of "CSI" competing with the Olympics drew bigger audiences than last year's Miss America.
Robert Thompson, a professor of pop culture at Syracuse University, said it was remarkable that the show had lasted as long as it had. He said he watched because it was part of his job, not because he enjoys it.
"What Miss America used to do, there were not a lot of opportunities to see that kind of thing that Miss America afforded: women parading across the stage in bathing suits and evening gowns," Thompson said.
On the other hand, Miss America has all the elements of some of today's most-watched reality television shows, Thompson said: "It's a contest that eliminates people and features beautiful young women. Those are hardly the kinds of things that are the kiss of death of a television show."

Day 10: This is a twist on the traditional mulled wine, it’s a mulled cider! To make an alcohol free version for kids/non drinkers, substitute the cider for pressed apple juice instead. There are some beautiful Irish apple juices to be bought at this time of the year. Personally I love both Stameen Farm and Llewellyns Orchard juices for local juices (and ciders) but whatever you can get your hands on is fine. Do yourself a favour though, don’t use juices made from concentrate, you just won’t get the same flavour.
- 1 litre of cider
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 pieces of star anise
- 3 cloves
- 2 all spice berries
- 1 lemon
- 1 apple
Take a large saucepan and put it on a low/medium heat. Fill the saucepan with the cider, and add the aromatics above. Slice the lemon and apple into thin slices and pop them into the saucepan too.
Stir with a wooden spoon and allow to warm through for about 20 minutes. Make sure it doesn’t come to the boil. Once warm through, serve immediately in mugs and enjoy.
This mulled cider recipe goes perfectly with blue cheese and crackers. The blue cheese is the perfect counterpoint to the sweet and tart drink.
Obviously the children had the non-alcoholic version which is actually my favourite.
If you have a slow cooker, pop all the ingredients in the slow cooker on high for 90 mins before serving.

The beauty of this stuffing recipe is that it can be made well in advance. No more faffing around the day before Christmas, if you make this stuffing this week and lash it into the freezer then it’s all good to go on the big day.
I was only chatting to Mam about this last night. We really love our stuffing in our family. This is the most basic, simple stuffing recipe that you can make. There’s nothing wrong with changing the spices or adding dried fruit to the mixture, we just like to stick with the classics!
To make life easier I’ve recorded this video to go along with the recipe below:
homemade stuffing recipe
- 2 onions, peeled and diced
- 100g butter
- 300g fresh breadcrumbs
- 1 pack of fresh parsley, finely chopped
- A couple of sprigs of fresh thyme, picked fromthe stem
- Salt & Pepper
Put the butter and the diced onions into a large saucepan. Cook on low until the onions become translucent (see through) and soft. Once the onions are cooked, pour the breadcrumbs into the saucepan and stir so that they soak up the butter and onion mixture. Add the chopped parsley and thyme, then turn off the heat. Stir well so that everything is mixed together.
Decant into a large freezer proof container and freeze for up to 1 month in advance of cooking the stuffing. Allow to defrost in the fridge for 24 hours in advance of cooking.
If you made it this far! This is a quick reminder that this recipe is Day 8 of ‘Christmas with Caitríona’ which is a 24 day series of Christmas content across my blog/YouTube channel etc aimed at saving you time and money in the run up to Christmas. I hope you like it and if so please do share the tips and tricks with your friends and family. Thank you as always for reading. Cxxx

These Christmas Fruit Parcels are a lighter alternative to cakes and puddings and have no suet and very little fat, no eggs and can be prepared quickly. They can easily be adapted for vegans too.The beauty of the recipe is that it is great if you have a vegan/vegetarian/lactose intolerant guest.
With no eggs in the recipe either, the only thing you need to worry about is the wheat in the filo pastry but always check the labels for the exact ingredients.
Did I mention the recipe is refined sugar free as well? The only sugars in this dessert are those from the fruit. It really doesn’t get much better than that.
On Christmas Eve buy some fresh filo pastry from your local supermarket. You should find it in the chiller section. If you’re worried you won’t get some at the last minute then buy some now and freeze the packet of pastry until next week. In a pinch, some wonton wrappers will do either.
Christmas Fruit Parcels
- 100g Dried Fruit
- 1/2 Cup of Orange Juice
- 2 Cooking Apples (Bramleys are good or Granny Smith apples will do if you’re stuck)
- 1 Packet of Fresh Filo Pastry
- 30g Melted Butter (coconut oil for lactose intolerant/vegan guests)
The night before, make sure your filo is out of the freezer (if you put it there) and defrost in the fridge overnight. Pour the orange juice and dried fruit into a bowl then mix well and cover. Leave overnight and forget about it.
On Christmas Day, peel the apples then grate them into the dried fruit mix and stir well. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celcius. Spread out the filo pastry and cut the sheets into 4 equal (square) pieces. Most filo packets come with 6 sheets so this will give you 24 squares or 12 parcels. In the middle of 12 of the squares put a teaspoon of the mixture. Brush the outside of the squares with melted butter then bring the edges together to make the parcel. You will now have 12 parcels and 12 empty squares. Put the parcels into the middle of the empty squares, brush the edges again and bring those together so that each parcel has 2 layers of pastry. Put the parcels onto a tray lined with greaseproof baking paper then bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Once golden and crispy at the edges, remove and let cool for 10 minutes before serving with a dusting of icing sugar, maybe a splash of cream/brandy butter/custard/ice-cream on the side?
- If making this dessert for a vegan or lactose intolerant guest then substitute the regular (dairy) butter for coconut oil instead.
- If your guests don’t like dried fruit then don’t put it in at all but I’d suggest that along with the grated apple you could add some chopped crystallised ginger which will sweeten and spice the mix slightly.
- For a bit of punch add some whiskey or brandy when soaking the fruit with orange juice the night before if you wish.

I am working on a new book and have been plotting, planning, and designing for it to become a reality for almost two years. Seriously, you knew I could keep a secret after I didn’t reveal my last pregnancy online...

Normally when infusing alcohol with spices or fruit you have to wait a number of months for the best flavour. This is a cheat’s version, called dishwasher vodka, which if made today will be ready for drinking or gifting tomorrow!
When I first heard about this particular infusion trick I was a bit doubtful but hey I’m always the type of person to give something a go once. The original link I saw infused vodka with chocolate bars. That’s a shocking waste of chocolate if you ask me and as Christmas is on the way I’ve an alternative option which adds seasonal tones to your vodka. However, don’t let my Winter spices be the only way to infuse your vodka in the dishwasher. This is perfect with skittles but make sure you use just one colour skittles so that you don’t have a muddy brown colour vodka. Red or green colours work particularly well here.
The instructions are simple but follow them closely!
- 500ml Vodka
- 3 tablespoons demerara sugar
- 1 vanilla pod
- 1 stick of cinnamon
Half fill a glass bottle with a rubber stopper with vodka. As the vodka is going to be spiced and we are all on a budget I would suggest a bargain tipple from your local superstore such as Lidl (disclosure as you may already know I’m a Brand Ambassador for Lidl but they’ve not asked me to mention in this post).
Add 3 tablespoons of demerara sugar, 1 vanilla pod and 1 stick of cinnamon (or cassia bark) to the bottle. Note, in my pictures I used 2 sticks and I found this a little bit overpowering but if you like cinnamon go right ahead.
Make sure the bottle is closed & sealed tightly then shake well for 2 mins. Put some welly into it!
Place the bottle on its side on the top shelf of the dishwasher. Fill the rest of the dishwasher as normal and run it on a full “dirty” setting. For me that is 130 mins at approximately 60 degrees Celcius.
When the dishwasher is finished, leave the bottle to completely cool on the top rack.
DO NOT open the bottle until it is stone cold.
Once cold, shake the bottle one more time and leave standing upright for 3 hours. Serve on plenty of ice if you’re going to drink it neat. Decant into mini bottles or jars for presents and decorate the bottles with bows.
Mix with soda water or decent ginger ale for a bit of sparkle. Just to add the yellow/orange cubes are recyclable ice cubes; if you don’t like your drinks watered down they are the bizzo.

It’s not too late to make my Christmas Cake Recipe! Simply because it’s designed to be frosted or iced traditionally. It’s not quite as heavy as old-style cakes, nor as sweet, because the shot of espresso adds balance to the flavours. This is a firm family favourite in my house. Since I iced our cake last week the kids have been begging me to slice it early because they love fruit cake so much!
Some of you may have spotted this Christmas Cake Recipe in Lidl Ireland stores last year. I’ve had many requests to put the recipe on the blog and here you go!

- 165g Plain Flour
- 1 shot good quality Espresso
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 400g mixed fruit presoaked (at least overnight) in whiskey (100ml) & juice and rind from 1 orange
- 50g finely chopped crystallised ginger
- 50ml whiskey to sprinkle on the cakes while warm
- Mixing Bowl or Stand Mixer
- Wooden Spoon
- 1 lined circular 25cm baking tin
- Preheat your (fan) oven to 150 degrees Celcius and line your circular baking tin.
- Cream the butter and sugar together then add the treacle and mix in well.
- Beat the eggs into the mixture one by one until the batter is smooth and not lumpy. If it is lumpy then add a small spoon of the flour.
- Slowly beat in the flour, espresso, baking powder, cinnamon and ground ginger. The batter will become thick.
- Stir in the soaked mixed fruit and crystallised ginger along with the juices from soaking.
- Pour the mixture into a lined baking tin and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour 40 minutes (100 minutes) total.
- After 100 minutes, using a cocktail stick test the cake by poking right into the centre, if it is baked then the cocktail stick will come away clean. If the stick does not come away clean then bake for a further 10 minutes and test again.
- Once cooked remove the cake from the oven and sprinkle the top with whiskey and leave to cool covered with a clean tea towel.
- If you’re going to freeze the cake, then once completely cool wrap well with baking parchment before putting it into the freezer to protect it from burn.
- You can ice traditionally with marzipan then fondant icing, or you can frost it if you’re making this cake at the last minute. Here I’ve iced the cake traditionally using 1 roll of marzipan and 1 roll of icing from Dr Oetker Baking Ireland.
- To ice/frost beat together 150g unsalted butter, 50ml full fat milk and 400g icing sugar. Flavour as you wish although perhaps a little whiskey in the icing might add a bit of zing!
Disclosure: I received the roll out icing and marzipan in a sample package from Dr Oetker. I was under no obligation to mention or blog about their products. I just like using them.
With the Toy Show being on last night Christmas season has officially kicked off in Ireland; in fact I have a Christmas party to go to tonight. The kids are obsessed with Christmas and their pure joy and delight in decorations in the shops and music playing on the radio is brilliant. As usual for the start of December though I don’t have the decorations up and I’ve no Christmas Tree in the sitting room quite yet.
I know I’m not the only one. I suppose it’s a hangover from the days of being so stressed out about money that we tried not to put the decorations up early or the presents under the tree until we had them bought. It felt like we were making promises to the kids (and to ourselves) that we just couldn’t keep.
The memories of tossing in turning in bed at night wondering how to borrow from Peter and pay Paul will never go away. I hope that they never do because I understand now that they have (a) brought me to where I am today and (b) know exactly what it’s like for those who are struggling at the moment.
Over the next month I’ll have something new each day for you to read or watch. I’ll share my tips on how to prepare for Christmas on a budget; how to not to be a Mammy-martyr in the lead up to the big day, how to ask for help gracefully, and some budget present ideas for all ages.
For today, the first day of December, I’d like to ask you to add 1 small extra item to your grocery shopping this week to donate to your local food appeal. It needn’t be something expensive, even if it’s an extra tin of beans or a bag of rice. If you’d rather not add an extra item in, why not see if you have something in your cupboards already that you’d like to share. Here’s the list from the St Vincent de Paul for their food appeal (this is also suitable for the Lions Club food appeals). Click here for the St Vincent de Paul list.
I’ve got some bags of pasta and some tins of beans which will be brought to our local collection point this week.
Chat tomorrow. Cxxx

Partnerships to help asylum-seekers at Tukwila church take shape amid city's state of emergency
The growing number of migrants looking for asylum at a church in Tukwila prompted the city to declare a state of emergency on Friday.
The city is asking for help from state, county, and federal governments, and hopes to meet other priorities at the local level.
“The Tukwila community has always been welcoming to refugees and immigrants from around the world. Many new arrivals to the United States have called Tukwila home in their pathway to citizenship,” said Mayor Allan Ekberg.
Jan Bolerjack is a pastor at the Riverton Park United Methodist Church in Tukwila, where roughly 180 to 200 migrants are currently taking shelter. She said there’s a lack of regional infrastructure to help asylum-seekers like them.
“We promote ourselves as welcoming in the Pacific Northwest, and yet we've forgotten this whole group of people that are our new neighbors,” she said.
Bolerjack added that roughly two families arrive each day. To her, this is a racial equity issue — the majority of migrants seeking asylum at the church are brown and Black people.
“The question would be, if these were white bodies, would we not be responding the way we are? I think that's the question.”
On Monday each week, Riverton Park offers asylum-seekers legal consultations about their immigration cases — and there’s always a line. Accessing a consultation requires planning in advance.
The waiting around at Riverton Park also extends to handling basic housekeeping needs, like cooking a meal or drying one’s laundry.
Bolerjack said local nonprofits have been helping out, but they have limited capacity.
Bolerjack, partnering nonprofits, and Mayor Ekberg have said they are nervous about getting people into more substantial shelter before the cold sets in.
The Washington State Department of Social and Health Services is slated to create a task force, made up of state and local officials, to identify how to best respond to the needs of asylum-seekers, across jurisdictions. The agency oversees services for new immigrants.
“We know people and families are suffering, and our city, county, and state governments must work together to offer a collective response,” said Norah West, a communications director for the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services. "How that response will look, which agencies will provide resources, and in what capacity are all in the process of being determined.”
A coalition made up of immigrant and refugee service providers and other nonprofits in the community is forming, Bolerjack said. The coalition will address issues like how non-government organizations can help address safety, housing issues, and legal concerns.


Practice Debate Topic: Discussing the rehabilitation and protection of rights of IDPs, with special emphasis on African nations.
Conference Topic: Addressing the Refugee Crisis in Ukraine
United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees
The UNHCR is directly responsible for handling Refugee situations on a global scale. This includes protection, provision of basic facilities, advocacy, resettlement, and monitoring of the refugee population. The UNHCR works to ensure the above criteria through compliance with the 1951 Refugee Convention, the 1954 Convention on statelessness, the 1967 protocol, and other regional-based treaties for safeguarding refugees. All problems related to immigration, IDPs, statelessness, and asylum fall under the mandate of the UNHCR. The High Commission works under the supervision of the 3rd General Assembly which allows it to address problems related to refugees on a global scale to a national basis if required to combat them irrespective of geographical barriers.

Like to consider myself as an adventurer which typically means participating in a variety of voyages. Even though I’ve embarked on a few of those over the past few years, there is one recent adventure that does not fall into the ‘voyage’ category. This adventure did not involve traveling much further than to work and the gym. Will admit, at no point in the time it took for this story to play out, did I ever considered it an adventure. However looking back on all that I’ve done and learned the past months, I’m calling it an adventure now. Continue reading
Happy New Year! It’s that time of year again when people want my help or opinion on “getting in shape for the New Year”. I get these questions because people have learned that I have a few years of weight training under my belt and continue to educate myself on body recomposition IE; getting stronger and losing body fat.
These conversations over the past few weeks with various people, got me thinking that it would just be easier to share the truths of exercise and fat loss I have learned, here on my blog. Continue reading

If my bike trips had themes, the one for the 2017 Fargo Sub-48 it would be; just how little training can I get away with and still make this happen? I did not start summer with the intention of riding only a hand full of times, then participating in a two-day bikebacking excursion. Quite the contrary, actually.
October 1st, 2017
Last night was another round of waking periodically because of numbness in an arm from sleeping on my side in one spot for too long. Each wake cycle is a different aspect. One time I can hear somebody in another tent near me rolling around on yet another noisy sleeping pad. “Who would buy those damn things?”
As we head into warmer days the single question many people have been presenting to me lately is: “Have any biking trips planned this summer?”
Well, I have two answers for that question. Yes and sorta.
Thursday, June 8th
Friends and family seem to be always asking what my next biking adventure will be? Gee wiz… Just one time I ride a mountain bike for a few miles and a few days, now I’m ‘the biker guy’? I do have other aspirations. There are many things I would like to see and do, that do NOT involve peddling my butt there. Will say the adventure about to embark on, sailing a boat several hundred miles through the largest fresh water lakes in the world, was nowhere even remotely near my bucket list. Sometimes an opportunity presents itself and like that, you have a new bucket list.
Friday, June 9th
Sleeping in the front birth of the boat puts me directly under a clear hatch, which in turn provides me an awesome view straight up the mast rising 52 feet above the water. My first morning sleeping on the boat I woke to that view, however it looked as though the harbor was socked in with fog. Closer examination reviled that it was just a layer of dew on the glass. Waking this morning provided the similar foggy view but this time the mast was much more visible than yesterday. Now it is true, the Harbor indeed is socked in with fog.
Sunday, June 11th
Docking just shy of the drawbridge in Houghton in the wee hours, we were up a little bit after 8:00 am when hours of the bridge resumed. After some breakfast, we radio the bridge operator and were told he would open it at 9:00 for us. Continue reading

This Blog post will encompass three days worth of travel. Because well… It seems like one long day. So here we are with one big post.
The approaching storms that, on the radar, looked like they might enter our area overnight never amounted to much. However to borrow, and slightly modify, an old pilot’s saying: It’s better to be here in the harbor wishing we were out there, than out there wishing we were here. Continue reading
Thursday, June 15th to Saturday, June 17th
Woke up in Mackinaw Island harbor with much calmer waters as the winds had greatly subsided over night. Today’s weather report is not great but it does indicate winds that may be favorable for putting up sails for south travel on Lake Michigan. Glad to see though the one biggie we now look for in any report. No storms predicted. Continue reading

Who gets food stamps in America?
Green (Living) Review
MAY 14, 2012
by Michael Smith (Veshengro) The claim is often made that it is primarily African-Americans and then Hispanics who are the main recipients of food stamps and welfare in the USA but statistics show an entirely different picture. According to sources Caucasian-Americas are the largest group of food stamp recipients with 36%, with African-Americans 22% and Hispanics at 10%.

Chelsea Football Club is pleased to announce Thibaut Courtois has today signed a new five-year contract.
The goalkeeper joined the Blues from Genk in 2011 and returned to Stamford Bridge this summer having spent the previous three seasons on loan at Atletico Madrid, where he lifted both the La Liga and Europa League titles. He was also an important member of the Belgian side that reached the World Cup quarter-finals in Brazil this summer.
Courtois said: ‘I’m very happy with this new deal, it’s really nice to have signed this new contract for five years.
‘My future was already sorted but it’s nice to know I’m going to be here for another five years and now I can just concentrate on playing games.’
The 22-year-old has started each of our three league games this season, impressing with his shot-stopping and dominance of his area.

HOOVER, Ala. — Look out, Steve Spurrier and Les Miles. Arkansas Coach Bret Bielema might just be the SEC media days' new quote king.
Bielema called out one coach, poked fun at a reporter and referred to himself as a homeless man yesterday on the second day of the event.
Bielema joins Kentucky's Mark Stoops, Auburn's Gus Malzahn and Tennessee's Butch Jones as new faces in the country's toughest league. That's the most first-year SEC coaches since 2005, when the league had new coaches at LSU (Miles), Ole Miss (Ed Orgeron), Florida (Urban Meyer) and South Carolina (Spurrier).
None of the newcomers had more to say than Bielema, the former Wisconsin coach who made the surprising jump to Arkansas in December.
He got into a spat with Auburn Coach Gus Malzahn on the dangers of the hurry-up offense on defensive players. He called out a reporter for sleeping on the front row and told the media to predict his squad as low as possible.
"The same group that's going to vote us a certain place is the same group that a year ago today had us in the top five," he said.
Arkansas finished last season at 4-8.
Bielema, an ex-nose guard for Iowa, expounded the most on his scheme. He enjoys old-man football.
"Yeah, we wanted to play a little bit of normal American football," Bielema said in response to a question about his offensive approach. "We wanted to line up with a tight end and a couple of wideouts, a tailback and a fullback, see what we can do.
"If we have to put five wideouts on the field, that makes us have the best chance of winning, that's what I'll do. I don't think that is."
Later, in other Hyatt ballrooms, Bielema said he saw Florida Coach Will Muschamp at a Kenny Chesney concert over the summer and described Stoops as "short, red-haired and angry" as a player at Iowa.
Stoops started things off yesterday morning as the first rookie coach to take the dais. Moments after stepping onto the platform, Stoops, clearly nervous, received Question No. 1: What do you think about your brother Bob's critical comments about the SEC?
"That's got to be my first question?" Stoops shot back with a smile.
Oklahoma's coach said in May that the SEC is a top-heavy conference. He called out the "bottom six, seven, eight, whatever they are. How well are they doing?"
Kentucky finished last in the conference last year. Mark Stoops has not spoken with his brother about the comments but said Bob was only defending the Big 12.
"With that being said," Mark Stoops said, "I don't think any of us need to defend what's going on here in the SEC."
Jones, who's taking over his third program since 2007, used notes when addressing reporters. Malzahn, amid short answers through a country drawl, said his goal "is to play faster than anybody in college football."
Bielema stood out from all of the rookies, delivering an entertaining debut despite being awed by it all.
"I've had a couple media days in my past," he said, "but nothing to the extent of today."

"Attention deficit disorder or attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder is a condition characterized by inattentiveness, restlessness and difficulty concentrating" source
and "affects between 3-7% of American children." source While the exact cause is unknown, it may "include adverse responses to food additives, intolerances to foods, sensitivities to environmental chemicals, molds, and fungi, and exposures to neurodevelopmental toxins, such as heavy metals and organohalide pollutants." source
ADD/ADHD can be a sensitive topic among parents because there are so many opinions on how to treat it. While some children may end up needed stronger intervention, it's always a good idea to take the natural route first as much as possible. That way you don't have the effects of medication to counter with as well.
Since I prefer to start with a natural approach to anything that comes up in our life, essential oils, food and chiropractic care would be the three areas I would pursue initially to help our child manage his ADD/ADHD.
Essential Oils have become a big part of our everyday life and help with numerous ailments. The oils that doTERRA recommends for dealing with ADD/ADHD are In Tune, Serenity, vetiver, basil and lavender. These oils may be used topically or aromatically. The best way to use them aromatically is with a diffuser, but you can also inhale the oils directly from the bottle or apply them to a tissue or cotton ball. The nice thing about a diffuser though is that you can get more even distribution and use it in a child's room over night or during the day.
The body absorbs oils fastest through inhalation and second fastest through application to the feet or ears. One option is to combine equal parts lavender and basil. You can diffuse these or apply 1-3 drops on the crown of the head. Or, you may apply these oils by simply putting 1-3 drops on the bottoms of the feet and/or the spine.
Food affects us in so many ways that it is worth pursuing as a natural treatment for ADD/ADHD. I never knew how much a particular food could affect someone until I had two babies who reacted to dairy in my diet while breastfeeding and having one child live with peanut and tree nut allergies. While choosing a whole foods diet may be challenging at first, it is certainly worth pursuing for the health of your entire family. I personally know of a mom who chose a whole foods/fermented foods diet for her family and was able to radically reverse her child's autism. Her son's transformation story is incredible!
"Nutrient deficiencies are common in ADD/ADHD. Supplementation with minerals, B vitamin complex, flavonoids, and the omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids have shown promising results." source "A Purdue University study showed that kids low in Omega-3 essential fatty acids are significantly more likely to be hyperactive, have learning disorders, and to display behavioral problems." source Personally, our family absolutely loves Barlean's Fish Oil and we try to take it on a daily basis.
According to a study published in the 2011 Lancet Journal, "a diet free of processed foods significantly reduces the symptoms of ADHD in 78% of 4-8 year old children. This 5-week study involving 100 subjects found that 63% of them experienced a relapse in ADHD symptoms upon re-introduction of problem foods into the diet." It has also been found that some children react adversely to food additives that are common in so many of our processed foods. (For further study, please click here.)
While the case may not be as strong for chiropractic care in helping with ADD/ADHD, it is still a broad spectrum wellness option worth pursuing. Our family has benefited from chiropractic care over the past couple of years and can certainly be one of the key factors in overall good health. Click here for several case studies on the benefits of chiropractic care in treating ADD/ADHD.
Have you had success in helping your child deal with ADD/ADHD by pursuing any of these natural options?

The Jan. 19 editorial “Enviro-zealots are wrong on natural gas” asks “Why is Massachusetts trying to cripple its only reliable source for generating electricity?” Renewables are becoming very reliable, and continued research will make them more so. They are also getting cheaper, which makes gas-powered energy companies, who want to keep the money flowing into their pockets, nervous.
Natural gas does emit less carbon than coal and oil, but is it really a safe “backup” for wind and solar power? Natural gas is mainly composed of methane, which is more efficient at trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide. A given quantity of methane has 84 times the global-warming potential of carbon dioxide over a 20-year period and 28 times over a 100-year period. Natural gas is thus a more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. A 2011 Cornell University study found that the leak rate of methane may be high enough to jeopardize its global warming advantage over coal.
Locking money into gas-line infrastructure would discourage the development of solar and wind energy by taking the pressure off. Let’s not listen to those whose profit motive would bind us into long-term investment at the cost of safety and survival.
