— For my wife, Rachael
After the accident I wasn’t swimming, but I wasn’t drowning either.
Treading water maybe? Holding my breath and going under, coming back up
when I had to. Metaphors fall apart. They always do.
A few times every summer Camp Manitou would have an “island swim” in
which campers could breast-stroke, crawl, and dog-paddle the half mile
to Birch Island and back again. This was in the early eighties, before
fears of litigation halted so many dangerous camp traditions. I often
think about how insulated my own son’s life has become in comparison.
When I was a kid, we didn’t wear helmets when we rode bikes. We played
“touch” football games with bone-crushing fervor. We sledded down
suburban hills and stationed lookouts in the road at the bottom to watch
for cars. We played street hockey literally in the middle of the street.
I think we accepted danger as a natural part of our lives back then. Or
perhaps we simply didn’t want to face the reality of danger.
Of course, at Manitou there were attempts to keep the campers safe.
Counselors would paddle out in canoes and kayaks to protect the swimmers
from errant ski and fishing boats, pulling boys out if they looked
exhausted. But with as many as fifty boys swimming at the same time in
dark, murky water as deep as twenty-seven feet in some places, there was
no guarantee of safety. The swimmers’ abilities varied. Not everyone
even made it out to the island, never mind the return trip. And pulling
an exhausted, weeping, fourteen-year-old into a canoe could often result
in both man and boy holding on to an overturned boat while waiting for
help. “We’ve got three more floaters,” Mel would broadcast on his
bullhorn, and the Whaler would lurch out after them, slowly picking its
way through the boys, trying not to swamp them in its wake.
Even crazier than the event itself was the fact that so many of us
signed up for it. Other than an achievement patch and certificate, there
was no reward for having finished the swim.
But most kids aren’t afraid of drowning. They can’t imagine death at
all, can’t imagine not being, because for a boy the world does not
exist without him in it. The camp itself came into being only when we
stepped off the bus in June, and though we had changed over nine months
of school — accumulating zits and hair in private places, having our
first wet dream and maybe even our first kiss — the camp magically
stayed the same.
From the shore the island, like the moon on a clear night, seems closer
than it is, as if you could reach a hand out and touch the egret’s
nest tilting in the highest tree. It’s not that far, you tell
yourself. I can make it easily. But then you swim two hundred yards, and
your arms start to hurt, and your back. You switch strokes and begin to
feel it in your abdominals and your neck. Muscles you don’t use on the
ball field begin to ache and cramp. And that island just looms out
there. You stop believing there is an end to all this water. You pick
your head up after three hundred yards, and some asshole guitar
instructor says from his kayak, “Come on, Joel. Only, like, a thousand
more yards to go.”
I remember sitting on the rocks of the island with my best friend, Neil,
staring at the boys spread out all over the lake, some still paddling
toward us and some back toward the beaches and the lodge.
“That,” Neil said laughing, “is a long fucking swim.”
What am I afraid of? Well, there’s swimming. I don’t like heights
much, either. I’m terrified of driving at night. And, of course,
there’s what might happen. The what if’s. Darius does not ride his
bike without his helmet, and then only as far as my eyes can follow from
the front steps of our house. And he goes sledding only at the park —
with me watching. I’ve gotten remarried, to Rachael, a beautiful, kind
woman who tries each day to pull me into the future with her, rubbing
the pain out of my legs, encouraging me to write, to live. But when
she’s late coming home from a night class, when she gets angry with me
and storms out for a walk, I sweat, I gasp for air.
Sometimes I fear the past, the memory of those moments when I felt lost,
when I wanted to take all the Percocet in the bottle by the bed and
simply float off. I know those times could come again. There is no
exemption from trouble for any of us.
But that’s not the greatest fear. Death is not the greatest fear.
Neither is loss.
A long fucking swim.
“I don’t want to get better,”the woman said, gasping, alternating
between defiance — her hands clawing the air or squeezing what flesh
there was around her bony knees — and a deflated calm. The
Compassionate Friendsbereavement group met in a small reading room at
the back of Saint Mary’s Catholic Church once a month. I was
relatively new. It had been only a little over a month since the
accident. My younger sister, Tina, would help me out of bed, belt me
into the car, and drive me out there, then sit with me as we listened to
the stories of other parents who had lost children. Tina thought that it
would be therapeutic, and in a way it was. The first time it was my turn
to speak was the first time I had told the story. It was the first time
I’d been able to speak of it at all. But in this moment, even as I
drifted in and out of the fog of narcotics, this frantic woman’s words
reached me, stung me awake.
“Why do I have to get better? For who? Oh, sure, for the first few
months everyone was willing to listen, but then it was like, ‘OK
it’s time to get on with it. Get back to your life.’ What life?”
The other parents in the bereavement group nodded supportively. Some
leaned into the words, as if walking against a strong wind. Some settled
back into metal chairs, arms crossed, staring up at the ceiling or at
the crucifixes on the walls. I remember one man who never said anything,
just moved his lips, silently mouthing the prayers and psalms that hung
everywhere. A young couple who had a lost a baby to cancer grasped each
other’s hands as if at any moment one of them might lose their grip
and be pulled out of the room and down the halls into the night. My
sister rubbed the back of my neck.
The woman went on talking. As best as I can remember, this is what she
said: “My husband used to come here with me, hold my hand.”She
pointed to the chair next to her, where she had placed a flowered
pocketbook, as if reserving the seat. “But even he is done with it.
‘We have to move on,’ he says. ‘Let go,’ he says. I tell him
he’s not living either — he’s just pretending, just going through
the motions. He says, ‘You go through the motions long enough, maybe
you can start remembering how to live. Maybe it becomes living.’ But
it doesn’t work that way. Or maybe it does for other people, but for
me there’s no getting past it or through it. It’s everywhere. He’s
everywhere. Except he isn’t.”
Her son was eighteen. She woke in the middle of the night to strange
sounds from the den — like a cat coughing up a hairball. But they
didn’t own a cat. And there was a shuddering sound. She got her
husband up, and they crept in. When they found the boy, he was already
having convulsions, frothing at the mouth.
“So it’s been ten years,” she said at the meeting. “So what?
Every day you wake up, and nothing changes. His room’s still empty.
He’s still dead. Family, friends, they act disgusted, like it’s
indecent to grieve your own child for too long. After all, he was an
addict, right? But everyone’s an addict. Addicted to something. He was
my boy, and people act like there’s a stopwatch or an hourglass, and
you only have so much time. They tell you it’s all part of God’s
plan. That’s indecent.” She stared hard at the priest who mediated
the group. “I’m sorry, but it’s true. And one day becomes another,
and each day it’s like you move further away. It’s like you were
walking together with someone on a path, and he’s stopped walking, and
you want to go back, but you can’t. You just keep moving away, and it
goes on like that until he’s so far back you can’t even see him
anymore. Can’t remember his face without looking at a picture. Can’t
hear his voice in your head. I should be a grandmother by now. You know
what’s indecent? Expecting me to get out of bed, make breakfast, and
act like everything is normal. Like I never had a son at all.”

Rituximab in the treatment of acquired hemophilia.
ABSTRACT To review published literature evaluating the use of rituximab for treatment of acquired hemophilia.
An English-language literature search was conducted using MEDLINE (1966-January 2006). References of identified articles were subsequently reviewed for additional data. Search terms included rituximab, acquired hemophilia, and inhibitors.
Available data suggest that B-cell depletion by rituximab in patients with acquired hemophilia may contribute to the eradication of inhibitors to coagulation factors. B-cells have been shown to be essential in the development of autoimmunity or an acquired immune response. Beneficial effects of rituximab, after failure of established therapies, have been reported in case reports and one small, open-label trial.
Although data are limited, administration of rituximab appears to be an effective option for treatment of patients with acquired hemophilia after established therapies have failed. Patients given rituximab experienced cessation of recurrent bleeding, normalization of factor VIII activity, and eradication of inhibitors. A complete response to rituximab (undetectable inhibitors, normalization of factor levels) generally occurred several weeks to months after initiation of therapy.

Magic Tool By Marc Petijean
NZ Standard Delivery for this product: $8.40 per order
Overseas: Tax Refund & Delivery Info
The Magic tool will definitely become an indispensable tool to every fly tier soon
It will enable all of you to tie all kinds of flies and to use all sorts of components at one and the same time without any problem at all.
You can create any pattern you can possibly think of which you may not have been able to realize up till now. Mixing nice different colours and/or different types of feathers (soft and stiff), including dubbing and/or synthetic material ... the Magic Tool will do the trick !
The idea consists of placing all materials needed for a fly (dubbing and/or regular hackles and/or CDC feathers, etc..) in one of the 3 clips. Use the stem of the feathers or a tinsel wire to push the center of all components through the opening of the clip and both sides of all materials used will stand straight up together. Having trimmed off the excess on both sides, including the stem, it is then easy to transfer the materials from the clip by grabbing the tips with one of the two clamps. Place all materials held by the clamp into a dubbing loop and wrap your 'hackle substitute' around the shank of the hook very easily.
The MAGIC TOOL Standard comes with
2 clamps and
3 wooden 'Equalizers' which can be used for winding and cutting synthetic materials such as Flashabou and Crystal Flash in small strands of exactly the same size and instruction for use.
The Magic Tool MAGNUM is for larger flies, and comes with table clips, clamps and full instructions. Three wooden dowels are also supplied to help with winding and cutting synthetic material such as Flashabou and Crystal Flash in small strands of exactly the same size.
1 table clip (65 mm)
1 clamp (78 mm)
3 dowels ( 10, 12, 15 mm)

A seed, by design, is programmed to grow -- satisfy its basic requirements, and the rewards will be immeasurable. Although some types of seeds are best sown directly in the garden, many annuals and vegetables, especially frost-sensitive ones that require a long growing season, are ideal for starting indoors and transplanting out once the weather warms. Starting seeds indoors gives you an early start on the season and allows you to try more varieties than will be available locally.
Seeds: Purchase high-quality seeds packed for the current year. Before using them, test old seeds, and always store seeds correctly for later use.
Choose containers based on your needs and preferences. Thoroughly clean terra-cotta or plastic pots before reusing them for seed starting. Use large clay or plastic pots with drainage holes, also known as community pots, for starting a group of seedlings.

During a typical week, hundreds of thousands of nursing home residents are administered antipsychotic drugs for diagnoses in which the drugs are not approved. Nursing home facilities are responsible for ensuring all patients are treated with the utmost respect and care. However, all too often we find nursing home residents being given mind-altering drugs that are not medically necessary and can actually increase the likelihood of a death occurring.
A new Human Rights Watch report highlighted one specific occurrence of this – administration of antipsychotics to nursing home residents with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia. Antipsychotics are intended to be used for patients with specific psychiatric diagnoses such as schizophrenia, not for patients with Alzheimer’s or dementia.
So why are these drugs being administered to people with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia? In short, because it makes the jobs of nursing home staff easier. These medications suppress behaviors and often cause patients with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia to fall asleep – making them easier to take care of.
To read more on this report, click here.
Federal regulations require individuals to be fully informed about their treatment and provide the right to refuse treatment. However, nursing homes often fail to obtain this consent and administer drugs without consent.
If you are concerned about the treatment of your loved one in a nursing facility, take a stand. Talk to the nursing home director. Talk to the nursing home’s doctor. Demand a medical explanation for the drugs they have prescribed. Be your loved one’s advocate and remember you are their voice.
If you are not getting the answers you need, contact the experienced Raleigh nursing home abuse attorneys at Henson Fuerst by calling (919) 781-1107.
Our law firm has been representing nursing home residents for more than 30 years. If you believe a loved one is a victim of severe abuse and neglect, or have additional questions or concerns, contact Henson Fuerst today at (919) 781-1107.

Recently a friend was ranting to me about a segment of The O’Reilly Factor he had watched, where a conservative African-American radio talk show host, David Webb, was commenting in agreement with O’Reilly on the George Zimmerman
fiasco verdict. My friend made the statement that Webb was a nothing but a “white man in black skin”.
He then went on to inform me of a survey he had seen which stated that 70% of white people in America agreed with the verdict. I asked him, how many black people did he guesstimate also agreed with the verdict. The question caught him off guard and he struggled to answer… “maybe 1%”. I told him it was probably closer to 70% than 1%.
I also told him I totally disagreed with his categorizing of Webb and that he was indeed a “black man in black skin”. There is one group of people who hate poor black people more than white people do… and that’s the black middle and upper class. They are quite adept in their use coded intellectualized language in their condemnation of their less fortunate brothers and sisters. Which is why despite their political affiliations, cultural heritage, gender or sexual orientation, many in the black middle and upper class are more sympathetic to the white supremacy based thinking on black criminality of a Bill O’Reilly, a Sean Hannity and even a Barack Obama.
Regardless of their eloquence, when you break it down, it’s black on black hate speech… steeped in self-hate. Whether it’s the comments of David Webb, Don Lemon, Barack Obama, The Conservative Black Chick, the article below by Project 21 member Derryck Green… all are reflective of the internalized “divide and conquer” strategy within the African-American community.
Race Fatigue by Derryck Green
Help me, I’m suffering from acute race fatigue!
After gavel-to-gavel coverage of the George Zimmerman trial, I need a break. After all the post-verdict anger, lamentations and inane discussions about what it is to be a black man in America, I’m exhausted.
After watching President Obama liken himself to Trayvon Martin, I’ve had enough. All this talk about race seems intentionally shortsighted and disingenuous. It simply implicates whites and infantilizes the black man. And those needing to hear straight talk the most are shortchanged by the soulless profiteers of the racial grievance industry.
I’m tired of Trayvon Martin being compared to Emmett Till – which, by extension, projects a racial ethos similar to that of 1955 upon contemporary America. Martin was no Till, period. Martin was not some kind of martyr. Please, already.
I’m tired of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. being photoshopped into a hoodie. This is nothing short of repulsive, and it denigrates the memory of Dr. King’s contribution to racial justice. Our nation shall forever be in debt to Dr. King. The same cannot and should not be said nor insinuated about Trayvon Martin. There is no comparison.
I’m especially exhausted of hearing condescending white progressives encouraging blacks to maintain a false narrative of victimization. The embarrassing demonstrations increased racial fatigue because those engaging in them did so at the expense of their dignity and credibility. These people – willfully or through neglect – ignored the facts and evidence of the case in a grandstanding attempt to make whites feel responsible and guilty for perpetuating racial discrimination. At the same time, whites feel obligated to perform penance of indeterminate length – defined by the racial grievance industry – without assurance of absolution.
Meanwhile, black-on-black crime is much more destructive and prevalent than a “white Hispanic” killing a black male. The charade is disgusting, and I’m tired of it. The Zimmerman trial wasn’t about race. The FBI’s investigation found absolutely no evidence of racial bias.
Martin was criminally profiled. In the 14 months prior to the fatal Martin-Zimmerman confrontation, the Retreat at Twin Lakes apartment complex was burglarized eight times – with all suspects being roughly the same height, build and color as Martin.
Thus, Martin wasn’t stalked or “hunted down like a “rabid dog” because he was black. As noted during the trial, suspicion was raised because of Martin’s behavior and because he fit a very specific criminal profile.
Blacks aren’t helpless victims abused by “the system.” The facts prove it. The reason that blacks – specifically black males – are disproportionally represented in the criminal justice system is because we commit a disproportionate amount of violent crime. Period.
According to FBI statistics, of the 2,938 murder offenders counted in 2011, 1,803 offenders were black. The total number of black murders in 2011, regardless of age, was 2,695. Of that number, 2,447 had black offenders. Blacks are complicit in their own demise. The system that blacks fear, which they claim is out to get them, is – in reality – blacks themselves.
In other words, there are too many black and progressive fingers pointed outward and not enough pointed inward. This is because there’s no political capital to be gained by doing this – no emotions to be exploited and no one to morally indict as racist.
Does racism exist? Yes, of course. But no one race is responsible for all – or even most – of it. Does racial discrimination exist? Yes, again. And there always will be on this side of heaven.
For blacks and their enablers to continue to foment this notion that racism is America’s number one problem, however, is self-defeating, immoral and perpetuates a lie. Too many blacks have no idea how irresponsible and embarrassing they look in all of this. And I fear, very soon, they will be called on their Dream-killing commodification and idolization of race.
By then, I hope I’ve recovered from my race fatigue.
Nick Westbrooks said:
Reblogged this on The Manuscript.
I hate the O’Reilly Factor. I can’t believe the guy is allowed to have a show considering what he is saying these past few months. I grew up poor but now consider myself middle class. I know how hard it is to change your situations. His views are very ignorant.
Sadly, many black folks here seem to believe there is only one reference to look at, learn from, emulate, and even deal with.
This mentality has only contributed to a stagnant growth and slow development for many, and especially for ” their less fortunate brothers and sisters.”
Despite all this, there is hope, because the demographics in this country have changed enormously.
Many different groups have been making strong inward roads politically, economically and socially , thus contributing steadily to the creation of a a vibrant new society right here in this country .
I am very optimistic with what I see happening among Latinos, Caribbeans, Africans, Asians, immigrant Muslims and that of other groups at this historical juncture.
We must aim to create a new society where free people can quickly discern and call out injustice whenever it is perpetrated, and not be afraid of offending anyone.
This is why I believe that some time soon, the leadership ( of these two obsolete political parties) will be transformed to much more relevant ones.

In the average person, the activity of one brain hemisphere is dominant over the other, called brain lateralization. This hemispheric imbalance leads us to experience the world in a black and white way, perceiving separation over connectedness. When brainwave entrainment is used to synchronize brainwave activity in both hemispheres simultaneously, a person can more easily integrate information from all parts of the brain and solve problems with greater intelligence and sensitivity.
Today, EEG machines are used for diagnosing epilepsy and sleep disorders, for determining dosages for anesthesia, and measuring the brain activity of people in comas or suffering from brain trauma. EEG machines also continue to play a role in researching and understanding brainwave entrainment and developing new and better methods for delivering the benefits of this form of brainwave modification.
With each increment of reduction in adrenal function, every organ and system in the body is more profoundly affected. The body does its best to make up for underfunctioning adrenal glands, but it does so at a price. Many people who feel fatigued and exhausted eat more to provide additional energy. Thus, adrenal fatigue also can promote obesity and its inherent risks.
On the other hand, natural bioidentical progesterone can be extracted from the wild yam. This is a little bit more complicated and expensive. However, the progesterone from wild yam does not cause the type of side-effects the progestin did. Plus, natural progesterone cream from the wild yam is vegan. Many companies will add vitamin E and other healthy fats that can be absorbed by the body. This benefits not only our hormonal health, but our heart and our whole body.

Headaches: There are several reports of brainwave entrainment providing therapeutic benefit for those suffering from general headaches or migraines. A study in 1985 analyzed photic stimulation within the theta range (5 Hz to 8 Hz) and discovered that this protocol provided significant headache relief. A total of 19/24 participants noted that the “slow wave” photic stimulation provided “complete relief” from chronic headaches and migraines.

Hi Sahil, it’s hard for me to speak about other people’s tracks and videos, as I don’t know how they created them either. If you’re interested in a particular track/video and unsure about it, try asking the creator a question or two about the track, what frequencies were used and for how long, what software they used etc. Then make your own judgement based on how they reply to you. Jason
It is important to take an objective look at published scientific evidence to determine whether brainwave entrainment is an effective treatment for certain conditions and/or symptoms. Most preliminary evidence suggests that while the technology will not cure any condition, it may be a successful adjunct treatment when used carefully with the proper protocol.
Have you ever found yourself in a tough situation where you couldn’t think of a way out? If you have, it might be due to a lack of Alpha brainwave activity. It’s been proven that increased production of these brainwaves allows people to deal with and solve problems at a faster rate and with far fewer difficulties. This is made possible thanks to the brainwave’s ability to get rid of “mental blocks” that prevent solving the problem at hand.
I would like to share with you my experience after using EquiSync for three weeks. First of all, I am so amazed how fast I can put myself in a meditation state. During meditation, I feel some kind of a sensation I could not explain. I feel the rain dropping on my face and sometimes my legs. I feel the breeze of a tropical weather as if I was in the forest. I always sleep for a very short time at night and I have a very high sense of smell all my life. Using equisync I still sleep less, but am more relaxed when I wake up. During meditation, I can also smell the forest as if I am in the forest.
Reading can be a wonderful (and healthy) escape from the stress of everyday life. Simply by opening a book, you allow yourself to be invited into a literary world that distracts you from your daily stressors. Reading can even relax your body by lowering your heart rate and easing the tension in your muscles. A 2009 study at the University of Sussex found that reading can reduce stress by up to 68%. It works better and faster than other relaxation methods, such as listening to music or drinking a hot cup of tea. This is because your mind is invited into a literary world that is free from the stressors that plague your daily life.
Insomnia: Perhaps one of the most promising uses of brainwave entrainment technology is for those struggling with insomnia. While the technology is unlikely to provide a “cure” it may help those who have a high level of arousal or are “keyed-up” – reduce their level of internal arousal and sleep. Specifically insomnia that is induced by excess stress (e.g. beta activity) would likely benefit from slower wave stimulation (e.g. alpha activity) to aid the brain in transitioning into sleep.
In general, we are accustomed to being in the beta brain rhythm. We are in a Beta brainwave pattern when we are consciously alert. It is the default and dominant brainwave for most of us most of the time. We are in Beta when we feel agitated, tense, hurried, pressured, afraid and stressed. The frequencies range from 13 to 60 pulses per second in the Hertz scale.
In simplest form, they are an audio technology which are used for (safe) brainwave entrainment. Our subconscious mind operates, throughout the day and night, in various brainwave state frequencies, measured in cycles per second (Hz) These frequencies range from the slowest (Delta) frequencies experienced in deep, dreamless sleep and in deep meditation where your conscious-awareness is fully detached, to the fastest (Gamma) frequencies associated to stimulating flow states, high-level thinking and information processing. There are actually 5 known brainwave state frequencies each having their own set of unique characteristics:
It’s the one thing that you actually have the power to change. There may not be a cure or a reliable way to reduce the volume, but you can change your emotional reaction to the sound and dramatically improve your quality of life. The Tinnitus Relief Project is an album of brainwave training audio tracks created to accompany the Rewiring Tinnitus book.
You don’t have to run in order to get a runner’s high. All forms of exercise, including yoga and walking, can ease depression and anxiety by helping the brain release feel-good chemicals and by giving your body a chance to practice dealing with stress. You can go for a quick walk around the block, take the stairs up and down a few flights, or do some stretching exercises like head rolls and shoulder shrugs.
It may be that you had the volume too loud, but I would expect you to hear the effects of that straight after you’ve stopped listening, not on a day you haven’t used them. It might be something similar to muscle memory, where you suddenly remembered the sound and sensations it gives you as if you were hearing it again. I don’t know how long you’ve been using this type of thing for, but maybe it’s something that will settle down and disappear once you become more accustomed to the sound.
In the Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon chapter, it was revealed that Anabel had become a member of the International Police. She, along with Looker first appear investigating Po Town, where several Ultra Beasts had appeared before breaking out and wreaking havoc on Ula'ula Island. Shortly after arriving, Anabel and Looker meet with Sun and Moon, a pair of children who had previously faced the Ultra Beasts. While she questioned Sun and Moon about the beasts, Anabel had Looker go off to investigate the rampaging beasts to find information on them as well. After receiving the information, Anabel sent out her Mismagius to battle Blacephalon, another Ultra Beast that emerged from an Ultra Wormhole.
An invigorating, brain-sharpening session, this audio starts at 14Hz, a beta feel-good frequency and SR harmonic. It then steps up in six-minute harmonic increments, gradually up to gamma 39Hz, leaving you feeling mentally stimulated and full of energy. A binaural beat track supports the main frequencies for those wearing headphones. Uplifting background music with embedded amplitude modulation provides a further layer of entrainment. Excellent for use as a morning alarm clock, ahead of a big night out, or to inspire those tired trips to the gym.

GREAT NECK, N.Y. — FamilyPet Network has re-launched its revamped e-commerce platform, Coupaw.com — a site that offers pet owners deals on a wide variety of pet care products and services.
The newly designed site features a streamlined user interface, an improved shopping cart and faster order-to-checkout processing speeds. Coupaw.com offers daily deals to users on items like pet supplies, treats, pet sitting services and home goods.
"We are very excited to re-launch Coupaw.com and make this platform accessible to more people throughout North America," said Jared Katz, VP of business development for the FamilyPet Network. "Our goal with this redesign is to make it even easier for users to search for great deals based on their individual needs, giving them direct access to the products and services that are applicable to them."
FamilyPet will offer more new deals — up to five on a daily basis — which users can view by categories that include all dog, all cat, toys, chews/treats, home goods, accessories, health and clearance items.
The new site also provides a higher level of customization, so users can change their profiles as their pet care needs evolve. Families who have just welcomed a new puppy into their homes, for example, can easily adjust their user profiles to reflect the fact that they may now have the need for chew toys and puppy food.
FamilyPet is also leveraging social media to keep existing customers happy with discounts and credits, while enticing new users to shop on their site. Existing members will receive a referral code, which they can post to Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites, and when others sign up and make a purchase using the unique code, the members receive a $10 credit toward their own accounts.
"Coupaw.com continues to change the way that pet owners find the products and services they need to properly care for their pets," said Katz. "As we keep growing, we will continue to feature the best deals possible on a daily basis."

This is our families new favourite dinner! So easy to make, one pot means hardly any dishes and so flavourful. We add a little extra sriracha because we like it hot and sometimes chicken for some added protein. Definitely a must try, you won’t be disappointed.
Ian Ramzy a year ago
Not good, way too much soy sauce and just not a good flavor
joseph gil a year ago
very good, I used a different kind of noodle but it still came out incredible
Eagan a year ago
it's alright. i'll probably make it again, but it's a basic, quick dish.
MasterLineCook a year ago
Prepared as directed - delicious!!! May add some shredded chicken and bell peppers next time I make it.
Clapper a year ago
Seriously delicious. left out zuchini, added a range of other stir-fry veggies, added a little bit of honey, hoisin and toasted sesame oil to the sauce mixture. definitely doubled (at least) sauce ratios.
Jim VP a year ago
Good recipe, but noodle heavy. Next time I would half the noodles and double the vegetables to bring a more even balance.
Rhoads a year ago
This is a good and has great spice! It does make up a lot
Nicoline S. a year ago

Samara 2 years ago
Absolutely delicious. I did not have any peanuts so I used 3 1/4 teaspoons of creamy peanut butter. Great kick and made a super satisfying but easy lunch.
Sarah B 2 years ago
I also put more veggies in- think I’ll try sesame oil and sesame seeds with it next time too- maybe some lime juice as well?
Lita P. 3 years ago
I followed the recipe to the tee with the exception of adding carrots. While it indeed was spicy (which we love) I felt the flavor was very bland. I also felt the ratio of noodles to vegetables was to low on the veggie side. My family did enjoy it and I will make this again but adding more veggie and osome apple cider vinegar and sesame oil to the sauce to bring out more flavor.
Allyssa D. 3 years ago
I didn't use quite as much spice, didn't add mushrooms and added chicken to the recipe. Next time I would add more vegetables. Was delicious.

I left off the egg to make the dish vegan (i put the red pepper flakes in the sauce instead of in the egg). Added broccoli and a squeeze of lime and it's delicious! Super easy and quick prep and leftovers!

Legislation includes reforms sought for over a decade; Requires voter approval of bonds
(AUSTIN) — Today, the Senate approved Senate Bill 2190, a major step to protect taxpayers while honoring our obligations to the men and women who risk their lives to safeguard our communities.
SB 2190, authored by State Senator Joan Huffman (R-Houston), is the result of years-long negotiations between the City of Houston, municipal employees, police officers, fire fighters and taxpayer advocacy organizations to solve the financial crisis plaguing city’s pension funds.
“A combination of unrealistic investment assumptions, unsustainable employee benefit packages and the City of Houston’s failure to fund its annual obligations have produced $8.1 billion in unfunded pension obligations and fewer police officers on the streets,” Huffman said.
“The prospect of higher taxes or bankruptcy for the City of Houston are not acceptable. To be clear, the pension reform legislation advanced by the senate is only one step in a long and difficult process. The City of Houston, municipal employees, police officers and firefighters have all made concessions and commitments that, if honored, will finally improve the financial health of our pension funds.”
Senate Bill 2190 Highlights:
- Requires voter approval before City of Houston can issue bonds to fulfill past obligations
- Reduces unfunded pension obligations by $2.54 billion
- Provides roadmap to “cash balance” plans to reduce costs for new employees
- Secures reduced benefit concessions from public employees
- Prevents City of Houston from raiding pension funds to pay for non-pension expenses
- Requires City of Houston to payoff unfunded pension obligations over a 30-year fixed/closed amortization period
- Strengthens pension fund investment guidelines
Statement by Lt. Governor Dan Patrick:
“Senate Bill 2190 goes a long way in protecting the pensions of our first responders as well as the interests of Houston taxpayers. It addresses a problem that has been building for thirty years and will help put the City of Houston on sound footing. This has been one of the most challenging pieces of legislation to pass in my ten years in public office because there are so many stakeholders. However, in the end, the vast majority of those stakeholders agreed this is the best way forward. I commend the commitment, leadership and hard work of Sen. Huffman and all those who helped pass this historic legislation.”
Statement by Ray Hunt, President of the Houston Police Officers Union:
“The concerns with Senator Huffman’s bill regarding police pensions have all been addressed to our satisfaction. We applaud Senator Huffman and her colleagues who voted yes along with our friend Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick for staying the course to get this important legislation passed in the Texas Senate.”

According to the American Heart Association, 35.7 million Americans have a cholesterol level of 240 mg or higher, putting them at serious risk for heart disease. If you have a cholesterol level of 300 or more, this is cause for concern. Cholesterol by itself isn't a bad thing; everyone needs some amount of cholesterol to assist in hormone production, provide vitamin D and aid in digestion. When you have too much cholesterol, though, elevated risk of diabetes, heart attack or stroke comes into play.
Total Cholesterol Number
Your total cholesterol number is calculated by using three different numbers: low-density lipoprotetin, or LDL, high-density lipoprotein, or HDL, and triglycerides. To travel throughout the body, cholesterol is encased in a protein shell called a lipoprotein. This is what keeps the cholesterol and fat from sticking to your arteries. The difference in the thickness of the protein casing is what makes LDL different from HDL.
With LDL, the protein shell isn't very thick, thus allowing cholesterol to seep through and stick to your arteries. If cholesterol builds up in the heart, it can cause blockage and result in a heart attack. If outside of the heart, cholesterol or "plaque" buildup can become dislodged, traveling to the heart, lungs or brain. This can lead to a stroke.
The National Heart Lung and Blood Institute notes that less than 100 mg of cholesterol per 1 dL of blood is optimal; 160 to 189 mg is high, and 190 mg and above is very high.
HDL means the protein shell is thick, enabling it to carry the unused cholesterol to the liver. The liver then gets rid of the excess cholesterol, either by turning it into energy or through urination and defecation. Normal, or "heart-helping" HDL levels, according to the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, are 60 mg and above; 40 mg or lower is considered a major heart disease risk.
Triglycerides also are a factor when calculating cholesterol. They are the chemical form of fat that is turned into energy. If the energy isn't used, it is stored in the body -- unlike the HDL, which is discarded. The normal range for triglycerides is less than 150 mg, while 200 to 499 mg is considered high, and 500 or above is very high.
Making healthy choices can lower your cholesterol from the high-risk 300 range to a less risky number. Smoking or maintaining a diet that is high in saturated or trans fats can play a huge part in contributing to your high cholesterol. Age has long been thought to be a factor, but according to a study published in the Journal "Gerontology," unhealthy cholesterol levels in older people may actually be related more to poor health than to age.

ISLAND ‘COMFORT TOYS’ TO AID AMBULANCE AND OTHERS The popular Macleay Island Craft Group is at it again. The group meet on Mondays at the Macleay Island Community Hall and work on projects and individual craft pieces, learning new and some long-lost skills in the process. The latest is the making of ‘comfort toys’ for those islanders less fortunate. The comfort toys are mostly small dolls made from wool and stuffing. The majority of them are being produced for the Macleay Island Ambulance Service. These lovely little figures will be used to pass onto sick island children or islanders with dementia when they are being transported to and from hospital. The craft group have come up with quite an array of clever dolls that are definitely ‘cute’. We happen to know that the ambulance stations on both Macleay and Russell Islands would appreciate receiving donations of similar like-minded toys. The Macleay Island Craft Group recently completed another major project that involved making a ‘love rug’ for the people of Lismore, following their devastating floods several months ago. So successful was the work, that it is now being exhibited pride-of-place at the Lismore Art Gallery!

Get unplugged, and get outside
Can it really have reached the point where many of today's children don't know how to function in nature? By that we don't mean surviving in a barren wilderness, but literally the ability to appreciate the outdoors.
Apparently so, according to a book by Richard Louv called "No Child Left in the Woods," in which he diagnoses something called Nature Deficit Disorder (see our story on page 41). Louv says children whose lives are saturated with TV, computers and high tech gadgets are experiencing a significant disconnect with nature. Screen time is replacing green time.
Many of today's parents likely remember their own childhood, when the order to "play outside" was an everyday command. In the summers, it wasn't uncommon for a kid to leave the house in the morning, return for lunch (maybe), supper (definitely), then head back outside until the streetlights came on.
But this is a different world, and while it's fun to wax nostalgic, the reality is today's kids are presented with challenges their parents never faced, including negotiating their way in a society that seems to value hyperconnectedness above all else. Many kids are tempted to spend far too much time texting, Instant Messaging, gaming and iPodding, essentially isolating themselves not only from others, but from the natural world beyond their doors.
Parents are also complicit, though often with the best intentions. Kristen Steinmetz of the Broad Meadow Brook Wildlife Sanctuary tells The Landmark this week that the reasons children have come inside are many, ranging from their tight activity schedules - which detract from unstructured outdoor play - to parents' fears about West Nile Virus and Lyme Disease.
To that we would add concerns about child predators, which have made many parents reluctant to allow their kids out of their sight well beyond the age that previous generations roamed the neighborhood and beyond.
But parents also need to be concerned about the rate of childhood obesity and other illnesses largely borne from inactivity.
While returning to school and its hours of sedentary classroom time doesn't help the situation, families need to cultivate ways for their children to take advantage of the green spaces available to them, even if it's their own back yard. They can start by pulling the plug.

Hey check out these Custom Hood Grills (Bundcur) made. These are raw (not finished) they need to be sanded primed & painted. But they are gonna be real Cool (literally)I’m gonna cut open up the back side of the Hood so these will be functioning air grills that will allow fresh air to flow threw this section of the Hood and cool the motor.
Look great but I would think you would still want a full size backing plate about 1/2" to 1" back from the grill to block rain from going straight in.
I was thinking of a backing that could be opened and closed. Example summer time take the insert out. And winter time you could slide it back in
the right thickness plastic liner behind it which was held only at the middle but had a stop at the top and bottom about 1" in would do the trick. ie based on speed of the oncoming air it would deflect and let air in but only until it bumped up again a stop. Could be attached only at the top too.
Just thinking of ways it would not have to have mechanical parts and require user adjustments. Something like 3mm plastic liner might work.
Great idea for the “flap” baffle. Flexible plastic (Mylar) should provide long life and 0 maintenance. While I live in the land of eternal sunshine, not all are so fortunate. These may work really well to keep my temps down while exploring the limits of high voltage in our GEMs
Will be looking into this further.
With my car having a big battery pack, I can drive non stop for much longer and at the end of my traditional 20+ mile loop I have a MONSTER hill to get over we effectionaly call it “Mt NeverRest” at the top of Mt NeverRest I can start to smell what I think is a Hot Motor. I think it’s the combo of me driving for 20+ miles and the motor would be warm and then we throw the hardest part of the cars duty right at the end when the car is already warm. I’m gonna stop right at the top of the hill and take a temp reading on the motor. It will be interesting to see what kind of temps I have AFTER the vents are installed.
Ok got the Grills sanded and painted looking good
Hey here is a Tip for Rattle can users. Take a heat gun and warm up the spray can. It does 2 things. The Heat raises the pressure in the can so it comes out with more pressure. And #2 more importantly it warms up the paint inside and it flows out and lays flatter. It also helps if the part your painting is room temp or slightly higher.
After test fitting these, as far as mounting I think I will Remove the hood bolt. Drill out the grill Aera and then use Double sided trim tape on the inner edge of the hood to hold them down. I’m sure the hood bolt going threw them will be enough and the trim tape will simply stop the edges from comming up
Grills looking good with black paint on them. Keep posting pics of progress. Use wire snips to cut out where your going to put bolt thru. Drilllbit may catch on mesh.
These are awesome. Nice work.
I was gonna remove the hood and lay it on my cart so I could put the grills in place and mark where the hood bolt go’s. I have some nice DieGrinder bits that I can use to make the hole and enlarge it. Then I will mark out where the edge of the grill is and that will be my cut line for the air vent. Any ideas on how large the vents should be. ???
Have u considered drilling holes for the air openings that way there is plenty of structure left to support the bolts. If you cut a large opening it may make the bolt look point weak and get stress cracks. What do u think?
That’s a good idea with the holes. I could use a set of these grills. How to order? Thank you
I was thinking that drilling a bunch of holes would be a good idea BUT! I also though about crap caught between the 2 . And I ask
Thought If I want these vents to be functional then open the grill up don’t mess around.
Looking at my 2014 and the pictures of the vents, I would have some concerns about taking away any amount of the structure supporting the hinge bolt. It would seem to be a high stress area. I think I’d stick with holes as opposed to the entire grill area.
Just my .02
I agree. I would just make a hole or vent near the top section
Those are very cool. I had graphic designed my own custom grill decals. Adding a grill, real or faux, is a nice touch.
Has anyone added LED fog lights or small light bar on bottom of nose? I would be interested in suggestions.
Well Just like most of the Girls on the Internet.
“They looks way better on Instagram then in real life”
After a few days the paint shrank a bit and you could see the sand marks. So I figured I could avoid doing some real work, by micro sanding the grills and spraying a nice gloss coat over the top. ( my go to flick can Rustolium 2x) in gloss black was empty so I had to use some off brand Gloss fingers crossed
Love my rustoleum! Not so sure about the other brands but I’ve used them all to various degrees of success.
Your tip about heating can and surface is right on. Ive done that for many years. Ive also found the rustoleum sandable primer goes a long way to preventing both shrinkage and sanding marks (proper prep given) leaving a professional grade exterior finish. Black in the sunlight will show every minor perfection, but man does it look good when clean! I swore I’d never have another black car until my Hellcat came along. At least my GEM’s white.

An Earthly Blessing is a gentle reflection on the miracle of God's arrival at Christmas in the recognisable jazz style of Will Todd. In the poem, written by the composer, the personal and individual nature of the Christmas story is brought out, and the music flows around the words, gradually building to the phrase 'open my heart' before returning for a gentle conclusion.

You have probably heard about the importance of taking other nutrients in your diet, especially about calcium, iron, and protein-rich diets but what about magnesium? Have you ever considered to how much magnesium can be vital for our health? If not, it is time then to reconsider this.
Magnesium is a mineral that is frequently overlooked, yet it is essential to our general health and well-being. Magnesium has a role in a variety of physiological processes in the human body, including energy generation, cardiovascular health, and nervous system function. Although maintaining adequate magnesium levels in the diet is crucial, many people might not be aware of this.
In this article, we will examine the function of magnesium in the body, how it affects health, what food are high in magnesium, and why dietary magnesium intake should be given priority. To understand why magnesium supplementation should have our attention and inclusion in our everyday diet, let’s explore the world of magnesium.
1. Why Do You Need Magnesium?
To explain the importance of magnesium, rather than using more scientific and medical language, I’ll try to make it simple for you.
Magnesium is like a superhero mineral that works behind the scenes, supporting various important functions. One of its key roles is in energy production, as it helps convert the food you eat into energy that fuels your body.
Magnesium also plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy heart by helping to regulate your blood pressure and heart rhythm, building and maintaining strong bones, as it works hand-in-hand with calcium and vitamin D to keep your bones healthy and resilient.
Magnesium is also involved in nerve and muscle function, helping your muscles contract and relax properly, and supporting healthy nerve signalling throughout your body.
If you are still trying to ignore the importance of magnesium, then heed my warning as magnesium deficiency can cause tiredness, muscular weakness, irregular heartbeats, and poor bone health. It also has an impact on mental health, exhibiting signs like anxiety, mood swings, and irregular sleeping habits.
In addition, chronic low magnesium and low dietary intake can increase the risk of illness over time like hypocalcemia, cardiovascular disease
and neurological manifestation, type 2 diabetes, and osteoporosis.
To combat these situations it is a must that you are taking a balanced and nutritional diet.
2. How Much Magnesium Do I Need?
One important mineral that is essential to many bodily processes is magnesium. Magnesium participates in approximately 300 enzymatic activities, assisting with everything from energy generation to neuron and nerve function, muscular contraction to bone health, and even aiding the immune system. Moreover, it helps with protein synthesis and the metabolism of other crucial minerals.
Magnesium is also widely known for its capacity to encourage relaxation and healthy sleep, which supports general well-being. Getting enough magnesium is essential for supporting numerous biological functions and preserving good health.
The National Institutes of Health’s Office of Dietary Supplements health professionals have provided a list of recommended dietary allowances for magnesium intakes for each age group and sex.
- Infants( Birth to 12 months): 30-75 mg
- Children (1 to 18 years) : 80 -360 mg
- Men (adult): 400-420 mg
- Women: 310-320 mg
- Pregnant Women: 350-360 mg
- Breastfeeding women: 310-320 mg
A tiny but important step towards improving your general health and well-being might be adding magnesium to your diet. You may actively support your body’s demands by ensuring an appropriate intake of magnesium through a balanced diet or supplementation.
Therefore let’s acknowledge the value of magnesium in our daily diets and motivate ourselves to give adequate intake of this mineral top priority for a better and happier life. Now, it is time to know about the best food examples that are rich in magnesium and also in your budget.
2. What Food Are High in Magnesium?

3. How Can I Raise My Magnesium Levels Quickly?
Want to swiftly increase your magnesium levels? You have choices! Start by increasing the number of foods high in magnesium in your diet, such as nuts, seeds, dark leafy greens, legumes, and seafood. Consider taking a magnesium supplement For a magnesium boost. Well, If you’re unaware of magnesium supplements? I’ll tell you what it is
Magnesium supplements are consumables that add another source of the mineral and help you to recover from Magnesium deficiency. Magnesium citrate, magnesium oxide, magnesium glycinate, and magnesium chloride are just a few of the different forms that these supplements can take.
A popular kind of magnesium supplement that is highly bioavailable—i.e., quickly absorbed by the body—is magnesium citrate. Due to its capacity to encourage bowel movements, it is frequently used as a moderate laxative and is beneficial for people who are experiencing constipation.
On the other hand, magnesium oxide has a larger magnesium concentration but is less easily absorbed, making it less suitable for people who have poor stomach absorption or who want a fast-acting magnesium supplement.
Magnesium glycinate, which is chelated, or bonded to glycine. The majority of people handle this form well without experiencing stomach pain thanks to its high bioavailability and mild nature. It is frequently employed for its relaxing effects and may be helpful for people who have sleep or anxiety disorders.
Magnesium chloride may be absorbed via the skin and is frequently used externally. Because of its potential advantages in easing muscular cramps, enhancing skin health, and fostering relaxation, it is frequently used in formulations of magnesium oil or lotion.
You must make sure that all the magnesium supplements you chose to come from reputable suppliers who subject their goods to testing to verify their quality and purity.
It is usually better to receive magnesium from a well-balanced diet that includes foods high in magnesium. Magnesium supplements, however, may be useful for persons with magnesium insufficiency or certain medical issues. Supplements shouldn’t be used as a substitute for healthy food and a way of life. Like any dietary supplement, magnesium supplements must be used wisely and in line with a physician’s recommendations to ensure their effectiveness and combat magnesium deficiency.
4. Risk of Excessive Magnesium Intake
While magnesium is a necessary element that is important for many physiological processes, taking too much of it can be harmful to your health. Overconsumption of magnesium, which for people is typically between 350 and 400 mg per day, can result in hypermagnesemia, a disorder that is characterized by high levels of magnesium in the blood.
Constipation is one of the primary side effects of consuming too much magnesium. Magnesium has a laxative effect and too much of it can cause diarrhoea, cramping in the abdomen, and upset stomach. Your digestive system may be upset, which might be uncomfortable and inconvenient.
Kidney function impairment is another danger. The levels of magnesium in your body are filtered and controlled by your kidneys. Nevertheless, if you ingest too much magnesium, your kidneys may find it difficult to digest and get rid of the extra, which might result in kidney damage and malfunction, especially in people who already have renal issues.
Moreover, too much magnesium can cause symptoms including low or high blood pressure, weariness, nausea, dizziness, and fatigue. In extreme cases, it might even cause cardiac arrest or respiratory failure, but these things don’t happen very often.
The likelihood of health consequences of excessive magnesium consumption is higher with supplements and medications than with dietary sources. Magnesium can occasionally mix with medications such as diuretics, antibiotics, and muscle relaxants, leading to unfavourable side effects and even dangerous interactions when used excessively. Before starting any new supplements, it is always advisable to see a doctor, especially if you have any underlying medical conditions, are pregnant, or are breastfeeding a baby.
5. To Sum Up
It’s Obvious to underestimate the significance of appropriate nutrition and the part it plays in our general health and well-being in today’s fast-paced environment. But, to stay healthy, it is a must that you know your balanced diet. Ask yourself, What am I eating is it providing the necessary nutrient required for good health or not?
Taking steps to increase the number of foods high in magnesium in our diets is good for both our physical and mental well-being. Increasing your magnesium intake can benefit your heart health, your blood pressure regulation, sugar management, bone health, physical stamina, and a healthy immune system. Magnesium has also been demonstrated to encourage rest, making us feel more at ease and invigorated.
There are many healthy and delectable alternatives available, ranging from leafy greens and almonds to grains and salmon. Beans, bananas, avocados, dark chocolate, and fatty fish all provide pleasant and inventive methods to enhance our intake of magnesium. Planning our meals, including these items in our snacks, and paying attention to what we choose can help us increase our intake of magnesium and benefit from this essential vitamin.
In a world where fast-paced lifestyles and processed foods are prevalent, prioritizing the consumption of magnesium-rich foods is a simple yet powerful means of improving health. Therefore, let’s push ourselves to make thoughtful decisions and appreciate the variety of foods that are high in magnesium that are readily available to us. Magnesium can nourish and revitalize our bodies and brains, and you deserve it.
To live a better, happier, and more energetic life, let’s start today by including tasty and nutritious foods that are high in magnesium into our daily diet.
