Valparaiso (15-6, 7-2 Horizon)
Game #22: Saturday, Jan. 29 - 1 p.m.
Butler (14-7, 6-3 Horizon)
Athletics-Recreation Center (5,000) - Valparaiso, Ind.
Next Up in Crusader Basketball: Valparaiso begins the second half of Horizon League play Saturday afternoon as it hosts Butler in the Horizon League Game of the Week from the ARC. The Crusaders closed out the first half of the league slate tied atop the league standings.
Last Time Out: Valparaiso could not overcome a nine-minute stretch without a field goal late in the second half Sunday afternoon, as the Crusaders’ last-minute comeback effort came up two points short in a 63-61 loss to Green Bay at the Athletics-Recreation Center. Valpo, playing without leading scorer Brandon Wood for the second straight game, was led by 17 points from Cory Johnson and 15 from Ryan Broekhoff on five 3-pointers.
Following the Crusaders: Every game this season will be available on the Valpo Sports Radio Network, with Saturday's game broadcast live on WAKE (1500 AM, Valparaiso), WEFM (95.9 FM, Michigan City) and WJOB (1230 AM, Hammond). Todd Ickow is back for his 19th season on play-by-play, while Adam Amin will handle the color commentary Sunday. As the Horizon League Game of the Week, it will also be televised across the Horizon League markets, including locally on Comcast SportsNet Chicago, with Greg Rakestraw and Bob Lovell on the call. The live audio will also be available at www.valpoathletics.com, as well as live video through the Horizon League Network and live stats.
Head Coach Homer Drew: One of only a handful of coaches at the Division I level coaching on a floor named in his honor, head coach Homer Drew is the seventh-winningest active coach in D-I men’s basketball. Drew enters Sunday's game with a 363-299 record in 21 seasons at the helm of the Crusader program and a 632-421 record in 32 years overall as a head coach.
Series Notes: Saturday marks the 100th all-time meeting between the two squads, with Butler holding the 67-32 advantage. The two squads are tied 24-24 all-time at the ARC, however. The Bulldogs have won all seven games since Valpo joined the Horizon League, including a 76-59 win in Indianapolis on New Year’s Day. Jay Harris and Cory Johnson tied for team-high honors in that matchup with 14 points apiece.
The Road Ahead: Valpo hits the road for the first time in three weekends next week, traveling to take on Cleveland State and Youngstown State Feb. 3 and 5, respectively. The next weekend brings Detroit and Wright State to the ARC.
Scouting Butler: The Bulldogs are 14-7 overall and 6-3 in Horizon League action this year entering Saturday’s contest. Butler outscores its opponents by eight points per contest, averaging 74.7 points per game. Matt Howard paces the Bulldogs with 17.9 points and 8.1 rebounds per game, while Shelvin Mack chips in 14.7 points per game.
First Place: Even with their loss to Green Bay on Sunday, the Crusaders remained in a tie for first place in the league standings with a 7-2 record. The seven wins in the first nine league games continue Valpo's best start in league action since making the move to the HL prior to the 2007-2008 season.
Home Court Advantage: Valpo has taken full advantage so far this year of the opportunities it has had to play in front of home fans at the Athletics-Recreation Center. Valpo is currently 7-2 at the ARC this year and is now 240-108 (.690) all-time at the ARC, including a 187-43 (.813) mark over the last 17-plus years at home. Valpo has also finished above .500 in each of the last 17 seasons at home.
Winning With Defense: Valpo has improved its defensive efficiency from 109.4 points per 100 possessions (304th nationally) a year ago to 94.3/100 possessions (62nd nationally) this year, a big key to their 15 wins so far this year. Seven times this year, the Crusaders have held a D-I opponent to 60 points or fewer, including four of their last six league games, and suffered their first loss of the season last time out when holding an opponent under 70 points (14-1).
How Improved It Is: Last year, the Crusaders surrendered a league-worst 74.3 points per game and gave up 71.8 ppg in league play only, which ranked ninth among the ten Horizon League squads. So far this year, it has been a 180 in terms of the defensive output, as Valpo is giving up just 64.4 ppg overall, which is good for third in the league. The defense has been even better in league play so far, as the Crusaders have allowed a league-best 60.6 ppg against league foes.
A Look at RPI: The Crusaders enter Sunday as one of three Horizon League teams in the top-60 in the nation in RPI in the latest NCAA report. Valpo sits at #57 heading into this week’s action, joining Cleveland State (#32) and Butler (#41) among the nation's best.
Who Needs Rally Caps?: Valpo erased double-figure deficits earlier this month in back-to-back wins over Cleveland State and Wright State, a common occurence this year for the Crusaders. In fact, the Crusaders are now above .500 this year in games where they have trailed by 10 or more points at any juncture, going 5-4 in such contests, while on the flip side, they are 14-2 in games where they have led by 10 or more points.
Sharp Shooters From Inside: Valpo has cemented itself as one of the best shooting teams in the nation this year, entering this week ranked 30th nationally with a .478 field goal percentage. The Crusaders have been especially proficient inside the arc, hitting at a .558 clip from two-point range, and have hit at least half of their two-point attempts in ten of their last 12 games, only failing to do so at Butler (12-of-27) and last time out against Green Bay (14-of-34). Among Valpo’s nine-man rotation, seven players are hitting at least 50% from inside the arc this season.
4 Wins x 3: Valpo’s win over Detroit Jan. 16 gave the Crusaders their third four-game winning streak of the 2010-2011 campaign, something that has not happened for Valpo since the 2001-2002 season. That year’s Crusader squad won seven straight between November and December, captured nine straight wins in the heart of Mid-Con play and then won five consecutive games entering the NCAA Tournament.
10 Wins Before the New Year: The Crusaders’ win over Ball State Dec. 28 assured Valpo of heading into the 2011 calendar year with a 10-4 record, matching a program record for most wins prior to January 1. The 2001-2002 team also posted a 10-4 mark prior to New Year’s Day 2002, while the 2007-2008 Crusaders went 10-3 in the 2007 portion of the schedule.
103-102: The antithesis of most of the Crusaders’ games this season was the 103-102 win in regulation at Oakland Dec. 21 to capture the Lou Henson Award Tournament. Some notes regarding that high-scoring victory can be found on page six of this release.
Dominating Defensively, Part 2: Valpo’s performance on the defensive end against Milwaukee last Friday was one of its best of the year. The Crusaders didn’t surrender a field goal to the Panthers until 13:46 into the game and ended up limiting UWM to 28.3% (13-of-46) shooting, including 9.5% (2-of-21) from outside the 3-point line. Valpo also forced 16 turnovers while giving up just 43 points, its best performance since holding Detroit to 41 on Jan. 8, 2009.
Dominating Defensively: Dec. 11's win over IPFW was right up there with the Milwaukee game for the best defensive effort by Valpo this year. The Crusaders held the Mastodons to just 13 field goals on 26% shooting and limited IPFW to just 47 points overall. In addition, Valpo held IPFW to just three 3-pointers on the evening and limited the Mastodons to just three assists, the fewest by a Valpo opponent since Dec. 30, 1999.
A Big Victory: Valpo easily handled Purdue North Central Nov. 18, limiting the Panthers to just 44 points in a 98-44 victory. The 54-point margin of victory ties for the sixth-highest differential in program history, matching the winning margin in a 66-12 win against Chicago Tech back in the 1920-1921 season.
Offensive Explosion: The Crusaders lit up the scoreboard throughout their season opener against IU Northwest, scoring 59 first-half points and adding 52 second-half points. A short-range flip up and in by Cory Johnson with 5:49 to play put Valpo over the century mark as it utilized the third digit on the scoreboard for the first time since a 105-73 win over Longwood on Jan. 7, 2006. The 111 points matched the most the Crusaders have scored in the last 15 seasons as well.
Crusaders Match Attendance Record: Welcoming a top-20 team in Purdue to the ARC proved to be a formula for a packed house on Dec. 7. The game officially sold out four days in advance, and the attendance was announced at 5,432, matching the all-time attendance record at the ARC, first set on Feb. 5, 2008 when Valpo hosted a top-10 Butler squad.
Breaking Out the New Gear: The Crusaders unveiled their new uniform design Dec. 7 against Purdue, and also debuted gray uniforms in the nationally-televised contest. The grays will serve as alternate uniforms, mainly for use on special occasions, while Valpo will continue to wear white jerseys at home and gold uniforms on the road.
Valpo Tabbed Fourth in Preseason Poll: Valparaiso was picked to finish in fourth place in the Horizon League preseason poll, tallying 312 points in the polling. Butler, the reigning national runner-up and last season's regular season and tournament champions, was a unanimous selection atop the league standings. Detroit edged out Cleveland State as the second pick, while Milwaukee and Wright State were picked fifth and sixth, respectively. Green Bay, Loyola, UIC and Youngstown State rounded out the polling.
Wood Named Preseason First Team All-League: Brandon Wood was one of five players named to the preseason Horizon League First Team All-League squad as announced in mid-October. Wood, the league’s Newcomer of the Year and a Second Team All-League honoree in 2009-2010, led the circuit in scoring at 17.7 ppg a year ago, while his 565 total points tied for ninth-most in a single season in Valpo history. Also an NABC All-District 12 Second Team choice, he ranked among the league's best as well in 3-pointers per game (1.8, 6th) and free throw percentage (.813, 7th).
Johnson a Second Team Honoree: Cory Johnson also earned a spot on the preseason All-League Second Team after receiving Second Team and All-Newcomer Team honors last year in his first year with the Crusaders. Johnson averaged 15.6 ppg and 5.8 rpg a year ago, good for fourth and eighth among Horizon League players, respectively. He connected at a 55.6% clip from the floor, second-best in the league and 20th nationally, and hit better than half of his three-point attempts as well.
Oh Captain My Captain: The Crusaders will have a pair of captains for the 2010-2011 season. Cory Johnson and Howard Little will serve in the role, each for the second straight year.
Sun, Fun and Basketball: This year’s Crusader squad got the chance to bond as a team with a preseason foreign trip to Cancun in August, the first time Valpo has taken advantage of the chance to take a preseason trip. The Crusaders got 10 days of practice in Valpo before taking off for Cancun with all 13 players, including newcomers Jay Harris and Kevin Van Wijk. While down in Cancun, Valpo won all four games, including a come-from-behind 102-84 win over Pioneros de Quintana Roo, which finished third in the 20-team LNBP last year.
Players of the Week: Valparaiso has claimed three Player of the Week honors from the Horizon League already this season. Brandon Wood earned the Crusaders’ first honor of the year, sharing Player of the Week accolades after he averaged 28.0 ppg en route to All-Tournament honors at the Lou Henson Award Tournament. Two weeks ago, Cory Johnson was tabbed as the league’s Player of the Week after averaging 23.0 ppg in two league victories for the Crusaders, and then last week Wood was again honored after tallying 21.5 ppg in a pair of league road wins.
Wood Leads the Way: Redshirt junior guard Brandon Wood, who missed the last two games due to injury, has been a consistent double-figure scorer for the Crusaders this year one season after leading the league in scoring, scoring in double digits 14 times, including 11 of his last 13 contests. Wood has contributed all over the place for Valpo this season, currently leading the team in scoring (16.1 ppg), assists (3.6 apg) and steals (1.7 spg) and ranking second in rebounding (4.5 rpg). Wood finds himself among the league leaders in a number of categories as well, ranking third in steals, fourth in scoring, fifth in assists and eighth in assist/turnover ratio (1.64).
Johnson Keeps Producing: Fifth-year senior forward Cory Johnson has been a solid presence inside for the Crusaders this year, ranking second on the team and sixth in the league in scoring (15.8 ppg) while scoring in double figures 17 times this year. Johnson, the MVP of the Lou Henson Award Tournament and Horizon League Player of the Week earlier this year, paced Valpo with 17 points last time out against Green Bay, the seventh time he’s led the Crusaders this season. The senior also ranks among the league’s best in field goal percentage (.507, 9th).
Broekhoff Bombs Away: After playing just three minutes Friday due to injury, sophomore Ryan Broekhoff stepped up Sunday against Green Bay, connecting on 5-of-6 3-point attempts, including a pair in the final 10 seconds to give Valpo a shot at the win. Broekhoff, who averages 9.9 ppg, now leads the league in 3-point shooting at a .475 clip and is connecting at a .581 clip from behind the arc in league play.
Kenney Steps Up: With Wood out due to injury, sophomore Matt Kenney stepped into the starting lineup last weekend and produced in both games, averaging 12.0 ppg and 6.5 rpg over the pair of contests. In fact, over his last three games, Kenney has posted 13.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.3 steals per game. The sophomore matched his career high for rebounds with eight at Detroit and then tied his career-best with five steals last time out against Green Bay.
Cracking the Career Charts: A number of Crusaders have already cracked Valpo’s career charts in different categories or are on pace to do so very soon. Senior Howard Little took 10th place by himself on the career steals chart, tallying his 131st career theft against Green Bay, while he also continues to be on pace to set the program record for career games played, barring injury. Broekhoff’s career 3-point percentage of .412 is seventh-best in Valpo history. Wood and Johnson both have accumulated 50+ games played for their careers, allowing them to be ranked ninth (17.1 ppg) and 11th (15.7 ppg) on the scoring average chart. Johnson also moved onto the career field-goal percentage chart earlier this month, surpassing 500 career attempts, and currently ranks fifth, shooting at a .535 clip for his career.
Quickly: Freshman Jay Harris missed the second half of the Green Bay game due to injury ... Valpo’s bench was out-scored Sunday, 21-5, after having out-scored opponents in seven of its first eight league games ... the Crusaders did not attempt a free throw in the first half Sunday, the second time that has happened in the last four games (at Wright State).


ARES have top notch externals. Few others come close.
However, their internals are crap and proprietary. Their guts aren't Tokyo Marui compatible like everyone else. Granted, their internal designs are innovative (like quick-swap springs), but the parts are made of substandard, cheap materials. Good luck finding spare parts when they break. And it WILL break. The only question is how long until it happens.
Dealing wiht ARES customer support is an exercise in frustration at best. If you do a bit of searching, you'll find a LOT of ARES owners that now own really expensive paperweights that they never even got to a game before the internals decided to snack on themselves. ARES support is pretty much non-existent and there are no spare parts available.

The projects are done! Time to hit the road
25 August 2016 | Puerto Escondido, BCS, Mexico
The cockpit with its fresh new coat of KiwiGrip
Terry sanded and prepped the cockpit seats for the KiwiGrip, while I set up shop at the nearby hotel and sewed up a new sailcover for Cetus.
He'd already removed the old teak from the cockpit early in the month, so it only took him a couple days to get everything sanded and patch some bad spots. He then put a coat of white paint over it to ensure the KiwiGrip (also white) wouldn't have any dark spots showing through.
Meanwhile, back at the hotel, I cut out the panels and began sewing the 18 foot long sailcover. That's why it was important to me to have more space to work on this project than I have on the boat.
To simplify making the sailcover I had purchased a kit from Sailrite which worked out great. They sent the fabric pre-marked with the pattern as well as all the thread, zipper, snaps, bias tape along with some easy to follow instructions.
I was able to finish the sailcover the day Terry finished the cockpit prep, so on the 3rd day we combined our forces and put the KiwiGrip down in the cockpit -- then left the boat to give it a full day to dry.
We'd already moved our clothes and everything we would need on our drive north off the boat so on the forth day we went back to the boat just to check everything out and put the final touches on putting her away for a month and a half.
So Cetus is sitting safe and snug in a berth in the little Puerto Escondido Marina and we are now on our long drive north.

A disorder characterized by the onset of myoclonus in adolescence, a marked increase in the incidence of absence seizures (see EPILEPSY, ABSENCE), and generalized major motor seizures (see EPILEPSY, TONIC-CLONIC). The myoclonic episodes tend to occur shortly after awakening. Seizures tend to be aggravated by sleep deprivation and alcohol consumption. Hereditary and sporadic forms have been identified. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p323)
A disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of paroxysmal brain dysfunction due to a sudden, disorderly, and excessive neuronal discharge. Epilepsy classification systems are generally based upon: (1) clinical features of the seizure episodes (e.g., motor seizure), (2) etiology (e.g., post-traumatic), (3) anatomic site of seizure origin (e.g., frontal lobe seizure), (4) tendency to spread to other structures in the brain, and (5) temporal patterns (e.g., nocturnal epilepsy).

An anticonvulsant effective in tonic-clonic epilepsy (EPILEPSY, TONIC-CLONIC). It may cause blood dyscrasias.
An autosomal dominant inherited partial epilepsy syndrome with onset between age 3 and 13 years. Seizures are characterized by PARESTHESIA and tonic or clonic activity of the lower face associated with drooling and dysarthria. In most cases, affected children are neurologically and developmentally normal. (From Epilepsia 1998 39;Suppl 4:S32-S41)
A subtype of epilepsy characterized by seizures that are consistently provoked by a certain specific stimulus. Auditory, visual, and somatosensory stimuli as well as the acts of writing, reading, eating, and decision making are examples of events or activities that may induce seizure activity in affected individuals.

Johnny Nash, the singer of the hit song I Can See Clearly Now, whose song topped the charts in 1972, died on Tuesday.
This news was officially confirmed by his son, Johnny Nash Jr., to the Associated Press, who said that his father died of natural causes at his home in Houston. However, there was no specific cause of death given.
A peek into his career
Nash began his career as a singer when he was a child in the church in Houston, Texas, where he was born. Being a teenager, he participated in a local variety show where he sang R&B covers. And in his late teens, he made his major-label debut with 1957’s A Teenager Sings the Blues.
Over the next years, his cover of Doris Day’s A Very Special Love made his first charting single. Nash continued to release various singles and bagged another chart hit with 1965’s Let’s Move and Groove Together.
Nash became famous for his hit song I Can See Clearly Now, which topped the charts in 1972 in the US and UK.
The song returned to the radio when Jimmy Cliff’s cover was featured in 1993’s Cool Running. Nash began his career recording pop songs in the late 1950s and later traveled to Jamaica, where he founded JAD Records with Danny Sims.
When I Can See Clearly Now hit the charts in 1972, Nash was in his early 30s and had lived several business lives show back then. Ten years later, he was co-running a record company where he had become a rare American-born singer of reggae and helped to launch the career of his friend Bob Marley.
I Can See Clearly Now
Nash sold more than 1 million copies of the single that made him an international star, especially in Jamaica, where he became one of the first non-Jamaican singers to record reggae.
I Can See Clearly Now, reportedly written by Nash while recovering from cataract surgery, was a story of him overcoming hard times and that itself raised the souls of countless listeners, with its pop-reggae groove, promising of a “bright, bright sunshiny day.”
Nash and Sims went ahead, signed Bob Marley and the Wailers, and Gloria Gaynor, and Jimmy Cliff. Johnny adored reggae, and he loved Bob and the guys.

FBI attempts to
link anthrax incidents
WASHINGTON (AP) - A letter mailed
to Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle
contained a potent form of anthrax that
appeared to be the work of experts, the sen-
ator and other officials said yesterday while
hundreds of people took precautionary
doses of antibiotics.
The FBI was investigating similarities in
handwriting and threats between the spore-
spiked letter sent to Daschle in Washington
and a letter containing anthrax sent to NBC
in New York.
"Obviously, these are difficult times," said
Daschle, as the Senate - and the nation it
represents - grappled with the unsettling
threat of bioterrorism.
Investigators have found that the strain of
anthrax on the letter mailed to Daschle's
office was "a very potent form of anthrax
that clearly was produced by someone who
knew what he or she was doing," the major-
ity leader said.
Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine), who
attended a closed-door briefing on the sub-
ject, said the strain found in the letter to
Daschle was "very refined, very pure," mak-
ing it more dangerous.
Early testing indicates that the anthrax
from Daschle's letter is a purified form that
could be used as a weapon, a law enforce-
ment official, said last night, speaking on
condition of anonymity. Additional testing
was being done late yesterday.
A thousand miles to the south, Floridian
Ernesto Blanco lay ill in a hospital with the
inhalation form of anthrax, less than two
weeks after a co-worker died of the. sane
In New York, headquarters for many of
the nation's high-profile news media corpo-
rations, officials said they expected full
recoveries for two people infected with a
less lethal form of the disease. They includ-
ed an NBC news employee and the 7-
month-old son of an ABC producer.
Yet, five weeks after terrorist strikes
killed 5,000, the nation reeled under a con-
tinuing series of disclosures involving let-
ters tainted by anthrax bacteria, spores
discovered in a postal facility in Florida,
countless innocent scares and not a few
Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge
said the government is boosting its reserves
of anthrax antibiotics and smallpox vaccine.
Officials said later the administration may
eventually consider inoculating children for
smallpox, which some believe might also be
used as a weapon by terrorists.
Since Oct. 1, FBI Director Robert Mueller
said, "the FBI has received more than 2,300
incidents or suspected incidents involving
anthrax or other dangerous agents."
Mueller told reporters there were "certain
similarities" between the letter opened at
NBC and one unsealed in Daschle's office
across the street from the Capitol several
days later. Both were postmarked in Tren-
ton, N.J., and Mueller said there were simi-
larities in handwriting, as well. Two
officials, speaking on condition of anonymi-
ty, said the letters contained similar threat-
ening messages expressing anti-American
and anti-Israeli sentiments and included a

Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, a distinguished scholar at the Business School's William Davidson Institute,
answers a question from the audience yesterday after a speech at Hale Auditorium.
Aibright: We 1mus strik
back against 'pres evil'
Officers from the U.S. Drug
Enforcement Administration arrested
a University student and another men
for possessing materials necessary to
produce Ecstasy in a Church Street
apartment yesterday morning. -
LSA senior Arthur Reigle, 26, of
Kalamazoo and William Biddix, 27, of
Onsted were charged with possession
of equipment to manufacture con-
Susan Feld, a spokeswoman from
the DEA's Detroit office, said the
charge is a four-year felony, but the
men will be facing additional
charges because marijuana and
small packaging materials were also
found in the apartment at 1016
"They had purchased and received
equipment to manufacture Ecstasy,"
she said. "They hadn't started making
it because they were waiting on the
last chemical to be delivered.
"Several of the chemicals were haz-
ardous and could have done damage to
the neighborhood.... Those have been
removed. They'll probably face
charges for some of the chemicals, and
the marijuana charges."
Feld said she could not comment on
how DEA officials learned that the
men had materials to produce Ecstasy,
which is also known as MDMA.
Biddix and Reigle were arraigned in
U.S. District Court in Detroit and were
released on bond pending further
Judy Paron, property manager for

the apartment building, said she never

LSA junior Daniel Aghion, who
lives across from Reigle's apartment,
said he woke up around 8:15 a.m. and
saw DEA officials setting up a light
fixture shining into Reigle's apartment.
"They had DEA bulletproof vests
on and police jackets," he said. "Some
of them had guns strapped to their
upper thighs. At one point there were
two or four wearing gas masks."

Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright told a crowd
of more than 1,000 on campus yesterday that the Sept. 11
attacks were "crimes of the purest evil, wholly unjustified by
any reason of politics, culture or faith" and demanded a firm
and united response from the United States.
"I fully support President Bush's decision to order a mod-
erate and carefully targeted military strike on Afghanistan,"
Albright, who is a distinguished scholar in the Business
School's William Davidson Institute, said she chose to forgo
telling stories of her experiences as a female secretary of
state to focus on the test facing the nation: striking back in
the fight against terrorism.
She added that the United States is doing everything pos-
sible to minimize civilian deaths, combining military
response with humanitarian help in an attack against those
who commit and facilitate terrorists acts, not the people of
Afghanistan or individuals of the Islamic faith.
"There was not a trace of religious commitment or social
conscience reflected in the planning and execution of these
crimes, she said. "The perpetrators could not have been fol-
lowers of Islam, for by their acts they have betrayed the most
cherished tenets of that benevolent faith."
She also commented on the fact that as lives on every
continent have been changed by terrorism, it makes sense
that people from many nations are ready to respond.

Beginning as a studio for one man's
urban planning business, Arbor Vitae
grew into an atypical residence for
University students. With five resi-
dents living in a loft with no "real ceil-
ings" or individual bedrooms, trust is a
vital part of Arbor Vitae.
For some students at the University,
"alternative" living arrangements like
Arbor Vitae offer better and more
interesting housing on campus than a
typical apartment or residence hall.
Students who choose to live in alterna-
tive housing can pick from a host of
settings in which to spend either sever-
al months or a whole year, like the loft
setup of Arbor Vitae.

is the 23-foot ceiling and the spacious-
ness. The second thing is people like the

Discover the Truth About CBD Oil For Dogs
Many pet owners may be asking what is cbd oil for dogs? This type of oil is considered highly beneficial because it is non-toxic and completely natural, unlike many pharmaceutical drugs. The name “cbd” stands for cannabidiol, and is the main chemical in cannabis, and its derivative products such as hashish. In fact, the CBD is also the primary component of some non-psychotropic substances and certain antidepressants.
Why is CBD oil for dogs good? First, it is one of nature’s best kept secrets! It is a plant substance that is highly effective in relieving canine seizures, and is an effective treatment for various forms of cancer. Even more impressive is the fact that it is so gentle on your dog’s system that it can be used to help treat other ailments as well. CBD is also known as “the joy organics treats”, because it is effective at promoting the brain’s release of pleasure.
Now, that you are aware of the incredible benefits that CBD has to offer, how can we put it to use in our dogs? If your dog is showing signs of negative behavior, or is otherwise miserable, you should consider adding CBD into his or her diet to relieve their suffering. If you’ve ever taken a look at the ingredients of commercial dog food, you will find that most of them contain ingredients that are incredibly high in fat, carbohydrates, and protein. These kinds of ingredients are actually toxic to the brain and can cause negative side effects such as anxiety, depression, and hyperactivity.
Therefore, if your dog has one of these problems, then it is imperative that you make the switch to organics. There is a top-quality, organic option available called CBD oil for dogs that can help your pet heal. Not only does this treatment have no negative side effects, but it also provides your dog with almost no calories. If you want to make sure that you get the absolute most from your supplement, then choose organics. This is the best deal for your pet.
In addition to helping pets heal from negative symptoms, CBD has been shown to help reduce the symptoms of anxiety in dogs. However, many natural supplement products are simply not high enough in CBD to be effective, so you may have to experiment with different levels of CBD. The thing that makes CBD so effective at easing anxiety is that it is a completely natural substance, so it goes well with a wide variety of foods. And since it is derived from cannabis, it is one of the most reliable therapies available.
Hopefully this brief article has given you some insight as to the best way to give your dog the most benefit when it comes to treating anxiety and other disorders. If you’re concerned about the potential harmful side-effects of prescription treatments, then consider CBD as an alternative. If you’d like to learn more about dosage recommendations, you can purchase a CBD for dogs guide for high-quality information. Take control of your dog’s health today!

A string of hot prowl burglaries are occurring in San Diego Country Estates, and Detective Tom Seiver with the sheriff’s Ramona station advises residents to lock their doors.
A hot prowl burglary is one in which the burglar enters a home when its occupants are inside, Seiver said.
In the Country Estates incidents, the suspect entered homes via an unlocked sliding glass door or front door while residents slept. The first was in December, and the last was May 27, said Seiver. Most have occurred from midnight to 4 or 5 a.m. in the area of Rainbird Road, Four Corners, and Barona Mesa Road.
“It seems very impulsive, but it’s starting to escalate,” said Seiver.
In most cases, the burglar took money, small electronics, jewelry, or tobacco products such as cigarettes and a can of chew, said Seiver. But in one incident, the person or persons entered a master bedroom while a man and woman slept and took a wallet from a pants pocket. In another, a woman woke and saw a person standing in the kitchen, said Seiver. She yelled for her husband, and the suspect fled.
The detective believes more hot prowl burglaries have occurred than are reported, since some items taken are small, and victims “may be disregarding it or explaining it away.”
Seiver encourages residents to report any suspicious activity. He learned about a possible peeping Tom after the fact, because the victims didn’t report the incident when it occurred.
“If you see any suspicious activity, suspicious people on the trails in the middle of the night, report it,” said Seiver. “Report suspicious people loitering in the area or trespassing on property to the Sheriff’s Department.”
Reports may be made to the sheriff’s Ramona office at 760-789-9157 or Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477.
If an incident is occurring, call 911, said Seiver.

Data provide evidence for the roles of HSPG2 in controlling/modulating fibrogenesis, promoting tissue repair whilst limiting damaging fibrosis even though many of the tissue repair activities can also contribute to fibrogenesis if not resolved on time. Its anti-fibrotic activities are mediated through modulating cell adhesion, proliferation and migration of key inflammatory and ECM producing cells. [review]
Molecular analysis results revealed a novel homozygous variant in the HSPG2 gene (MIM 142461), NM_005529.6(HSPG2):c.4029 + 1G>A, consistent with a diagnosis of Dyssegmental dysplasia, Silverman-Handmaker type.
The results of the present study suggested that the compound heterozygous mutations in HSPG2 may be responsible the induction of Schwartz-Jampel syndrome type 1 (SJS1), and demonstrated the genotypephenotype associations between mutations in the HSPG2 gene and clinical characteristics of SJS1
The differential immunoexpression of perlecan and biglycan in these types of ameloblastomas suggests their participation in the developmental process of these tumors.
The Mechanistic studies showed that CSPG4 bound to perlecan via hydrophobic protein-protein interactions involving multiple sites on perlecan including the C-terminal region.
The results indicate that increase of heparan sulfate content and up-regulation of perlecan/HSPG2 expression in glioblastoma tissues contribute to tumour development through the transformation of brain extracellular matrix into tumour microenvironment, and represent negative prognostic factors for glioblastoma progression.
Mutations in this gene are responsible for the allelic Skeletal Dysplasias Schwartz-Jampel syndrome type 1 and the Silverman-Handmaker type of Dyssegmental Dysplasia, both of which are autosomal recessive.
Perlecan functions in autophagy and angiogenesis where its proangiogenesis activity is counteracted by endorepellin, the C-terminal fragment of perlecan, in these cellular and morphogenic events. (Review)
We found that perlecan expression decreased during chronological skin aging. Our in vitro studies revealed reduced perlecan transcript levels in aged keratinocytes. Perlecan down-regulation in cultured keratinocytes caused depletion of the cell population that expressed keratin 15.Finally, we found defects in keratin 15 expression in the epidermis of aging skin.
Putative stem cell populations associated with hair bulbs, humeral perichondrium, humeral and ulnar rudiment stromal/perivascular tissues expressed the Chondroitin sulfate motifs 4C3, 7D4, and 3B3[-] along with perlecan in close association but not colocalized.

Perlecan is a defining factor in both the biochemical and biomechanical properties of the pericellular matrix.
Exostosis-like, ectopic bone formation occurred in Hspg2 exon 3 null intervertebral discs, and differences were evident in disc cell maturation and in matrix deposition in this genotype, indicating that perlecan HS/CS chains had cell and matrix interactive properties which repressively maintained tissue homeostasis in the adult intervertebral disc.
Monolayers of murine hip articular chondrocytes from C57BL/6 and Hspg2 exon 3 null mice also displayed pericellular perlecan localisations, however type XI collagen was only evident in the Wild type mice
Confocal laser scanning microscopy co-localised perlecan with type VI collagen as pericellular components of intervertebral disc (IVD) cells and translamellar cross-bridges in ovine and murine IVDs.
Perlecan knockdown altered matrix organization and significantly decreased the stiffness of both chondrocytes and interstitial matrix as a function of age and genotype.
Perlecan is required for the chondrogenic and adipogenic differentiation from SMCs via its regulation of the Sox9 and PPARgamma gene expression, but not for osteogenic differentiation via Runx2
The reduced deposition of TGF-beta1 observed in the present study would be expected to impact detrimentally on the remodelling and healing capacity of skin in mutant mice compounding on the poor wound-healing properties already reported for perlecan exon 3 null mice due to an inability to signal with FGF-2 and promote angiogenic repair processes.
Hspg2 inhibits autophagy to maintain muscle homeostasis in mouse soleus muscle.
Perlecan HS has significant roles in directing the development of posttraumatic OA, potentially via the alteration of FGF/HS/FGFR signaling.

study found that while release of pre-synthesized perlecan causes an increase in LG3 levels during oxygen-glucose deprivation in fetal cortical neurons (FCN), it is the increased de novo synthesis of perlecan in FCN which may be responsible for increased LG3 levels during reperfusion
Blocking of perlecan by anti-perlecan antiserum inhibited the migration of vascular endothelial cells (VECs) and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells, and exogenous perlecan added to the culture medium promoted the migration of these cell types.
Hyperglycemia-induced structural changes in perlecan may result in a subendothelial matrix that is more favorable to retention of monocytes. 2 forms of perlecan exist in BAEC SEM, 1 with HS chains only and 1 with both HS and CS/DS chains.
results suggest that perlecan made by growth plate chondrocytes is a low affinity receptor for FGF-2 and acts to sequester FGF-2 away from the high affinity receptor
data show that growth plate perlecan binds to FGF-2 by its heparan sulfate chains but can only deliver FGF-2 to FGF receptors when its chondroitin sulfate chains are removed.
This gene encodes the perlecan protein, which consists of a core protein to which three long chains of glycosaminoglycans (heparan sulfate or chondroitin sulfate) are attached. The perlecan protein is a large multidomain proteoglycan that binds to and cross-links many extracellular matrix components and cell-surface molecules. It has been shown that this protein interacts with laminin, prolargin, collagen type IV, FGFBP1, FBLN2, FGF7 and Transthyretin, etc. and plays essential roles in multiple biological activities. Perlecan is a key component of the vascular extracellular matrix, where it helps to maintain the endothelial barrier function. It is a potent inhibitor of smooth muscle cell proliferation and is thus thought to help maintain vascular homeostasis. It can also promote growth factor (e.g., FGF2) activity and thus stimulate endothelial growth and re-generation. It is a major component of basement membranes, where it is involved in the stabilization of other molecules as well as being involved with glomerular permeability to macromolecules and cell adhesion. Mutations in this gene cause Schwartz-Jampel syndrome type 1, Silverman-Handmaker type of dyssegmental dysplasia, and Tardive dyskinesia.

On this 2 Days Marrakech Zagora Desert Tour you will explore the majesty of Morocco’s arid landscapes on a journey that is both distinct and thrilling! Our Marrakech Zagora Desert Tour is designed for individuals with limited time who desire to experience the beauty of the Sahara Desert. With travelers who share your values, you will embark on a two-day desert adventure from Marrakech that provides you with unforgettable memories.
2 Days Marrakech Zagora Desert Tour Itinerary:
Day 1: Journey from Marrakech – Ouarzazate to Zagora:
After being picked up from your accommodation, begin your lovely 2 Days Marrakech Zagora by traversing the High Atlas Mountains, namely the Tizi n’Tichka pass. We’ll pass through Berber villages and towns near the highlands on the way to Ouarzazate. This location is popularly recognized as the “Hollywood of Morocco”. We will stop here for lunch before continuing on to Taourirt Kasbah. Proceed to Agdz and then to Draa Valley, admiring the lovely scenery. You can stop here once to enjoy the breathtaking vista of the sea of palm trees. From here, we’ll go to Zagora, where you may have a thrilling camel ride and sleep in nomadic tents.
Day 2: Exclusive journey from Zagora – Dra’a Valley to Marrakech:
Waking up early will allow you to see the dawn, and after breakfast, a camel ride will be waiting for you. During your Marrakech Day Tours, we’ll next transport you through the Draa Valley to the famed KaDraaof Ait Ben Haddou.
This kasbah is known as a “fortified city” since it is positioned along the historic caravan route that connects the Sahara with Marrakech. This is situated on a slope alongside the Ouarzazate River and will showcase some magnificent heritage of Kasbahs that are still present. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and films such as Gladiator and many more were shot there. Arrive in Marrakech afternoon and check into your hotel. where the tour 2 Days Marrakech Zagora Desert Tour.

Going into the Sahara Desert was a truly amazing experience! Riding camels into the desert and seeing the sand dunes is something that I will never forget! When we reached camp, Hassan was there to great us and poured us a cup of tea and brought us some snacks. We had a lot of great conversation with him but were unable to set him up with one of our daughters 😉 The camp was clean with a comfortable bed and a full bathroom!!! Very luxurious!!! The next morning, we had breakfast and then we rode ATVs in the dessert which was an indescribably fun experience. We never had to worry about our luggage, it was waiting for us in our tents when we got to the camp, and it was waiting for us at the van when we rode the ATVs out of the desert. Hassan and his team made this vacation 100% stress free and fun!
The only thing that I wish we would have done differently is I would have spent an extra night or two in the desert instead of just one.
Thanks for the great memories!!!

Facebook memories have been painful as of late. I keep seeing conversations from a year ago with some of the meanest comments and accusations.
"You're voting for a sexist."
"If you vote for Trump you're obviously against women."
On the contrary, I'm voting for a man whose administration holds the greatest chance at wrecking the worst genocide the world has ever seen, which includes about 30 million women casualties....so.
Still, many denied. To them I won't say "I told you so," because that only wastes time when instead I could be explaining how I was right and they were wrong.
Here’s what the Trump administration has accomplished during the first ten months, displaying a huge commitment to the pro-life agenda.
Mexico City Policy The Mexico City Policy withholds U.S. federal dollars from foreign non-governmental organizations that perform abortion procedures or provide abortion referrals. This law has volleyed back and forth like a partisan tennis match – rescinded or reinstated based on the party in control of the Oval Office. Presidents who have supported the policy include Ronald Reagan (who enacted the law), George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush, and Donald J. Trump. Rescinding residents of the Oval Office include Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. All of these presidents instituted national policy via executive order. This doesn't so much set Trump apart though, since every Republican since Reagan has instated it.
Hyde Amendment The Hyde Amendment is a legislative statute that bars federal funding of abortion procedures in the U.S. with exceptions for rape, incest, and significant risk to the mother's life. Under the Hyde Amendment, a patient can use federal funds at facilities that provide abortions, but would have to pay out of pocket for an abortion. The Hyde Amendment is reinstated or rescinded on an annual basis.
The House has passed the "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Discloser Act of 2017," which effectively would make the Hyde Amendment permanent law instead of annually reviewed. The bill currently is pending in the Senate, and President Trump has signaled a "thumbs up" once it reaches his desk.
The Hyde Amendment has been altered over the years, but Trump is the first president who has vowed to make it law. Undoing Obama's Planned Parenthood Regulation Shortly before leaving office, former President Barack Obama imposed a regulation that permanently prohibited states from withdrawing their funding to Planned Parenthood. Mr. Obama imposed the ban after several states began taking action in the wake of undercover videotapes exposing Planned Parenthood officials discussing the sale of aborted baby body parts. That permanent regulation lasted a few months into Trump's Administration. The Senate vote to overthrow the regulation resulted in a 50-50 tie, which required Vice President Mike Pence to step in and cast the tie-breaking vote.
Healthcare Reform Both the House and Senate's attempts to reform healthcare since Trump's election omitted funding not only from Planned Parenthood, but from any organization that provides abortions. Planned Parenthood receives approximately $500 million from the federal government. That's nearly a third of its entire budget. Planned Parenthood is also the leading abortion provider in the United States. Nationwide, there are fewer than a thousand Planned Parenthood facilities, while there are more than 13,000 federally-qualified healthcare providers that offer a broader spectrum of healthcare without performing abortions. The language in the bills redirects the funding from Planned Parenthood to these federally qualified health centers.
No other administration has moved this aggressively to defund Planned Parenthood's federal funding, which it started receiving taxpayer money in 1970.
The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act This bill will ban abortions across the nation at 20 weeks of fetal development and includes the same exceptions as the other bills. Republicans approved the measure in the House by a vote of 237 to 189 (3 Democrats joined the Republican majority) and if it passes in the Senate, it has already been given the White House's blessing. More than 20 states have similar bans citing scientific evidence that shows a fetus can feel pain at 20 weeks. States that don't yet prohibit abortions at 20 weeks may soon be forced to if the bill becomes law.
The White House released a statement ahead of last week's House vote that read, "The administration strongly supports H.R. 36, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, and applauds the House of Representatives for continuing its efforts to secure critical pro-life protections."
Birth control mandate rolled back Among the more controversial elements of Obamacare has been the birth control mandate, which requires companies include contraceptives in their employee health insurance plans. Last week, Pres. Trump announced the mandate will be rolled back and will allow companies to opt out on either religious or moral grounds. Hobby Lobby won a lawsuit challenging the contraception mandate ensuring religious institutions and "closely held for-profit corporations" receive exemptions. Now with the new rollbacks, even non-religious employers will have the option to omit birth control from their plans if they claim a personal moral or religious objection.
"The United States has a long history of providing conscience protections in the regulation of health care for entities and individuals with objections based on religious beliefs or moral convictions," the administration wrote in new rules," the Trump administration wrote when announcing the new policies.
Federal Government Defining Life at Conception The Department of Health and Human Services recently declared their stance of life beginning at conception. This will likely have significant implications as to the policies to follow on what is life and how life is treated.
Hi, my name is John and I love coffee. As I write this I’m sitting in a local roastery sipping a “mudslide” espresso with cream and two and a half sugars. There are few things in life that I feel merit precise orchestration with no room for error, coffee is one of them.
My life belongs to Jesus. I am his son and He is my King. His work in my life is reason enough for my faith to be made complete. He lived to die for me so that I may be credited righteous thus I will live for Him. I believe one area that has been greatly ignored by Christians is culture and politics. We must be active in representing our faith in these communities, but not in a relativistic or compromising way. Full bio


The SE “Mykolayiv Armoured Plant”, part of UkrOboronProm, has developed an upgrade package for the BRDM-2 amphibious armoured patrol vehicle, which was originally manufactured at the Gorkovsky Avtomobilny Zavod (GAZ) in Nizhny Novgorod.
The upgraded BRDM-2 is designated the BRDM-NIK by SE “Mykolayiv Armoured Plant”, and the enhancements are focused on improving the armor protection of the crew. It differs from the previous versions mostly in a modified configuration of the vehicle’s hull, which makes it possible to install additional types of protection. The BRDM-NIK received the enhanced protection of the frontal zone.
According to UkrOboronProm, the BRDM-NIK has a curb weight of 8,200 kg. The vehicle is powered by an FPT IVECO Tector (Euro-3) diesel engine with a power output of 150hp providing a maximum speed of 100 km/h and a cruising range of 1,100km.
The vehicle is fitted with the “Falkonet” combat module fitted with a 14,5mm KPVT machine-gun (500 rounds) and one 7,62mm PKT (2000 rounds). In addition, BRDM-NIK is equipped with new digital radios that provide reliable and secure communication.

During the months of January and February 2020, it seemed every weekend there was the threat of another storm for us to not look forward to. First, we had Storm Brendan, then it was Storm Ciara and recently, Storm Dennis. Although I enjoy a good thunderstorm now and then, having to cancel or postpone a ramble because of the weather leaves me frustrated and disappointed. But when you’re booked to head up onto Bodmin Moor, and the winds are set to be over 70mph, I do need to make the safe decision of postponing.
Luckily, on Saturday 22 February, there were no storms booked and so I could look forward to another Cornish Ramble. This time I took the group from the wonderful Cornish town of Penzance to the picturesque fishing village of Newlyn.
This ramble was another shorter walk that consisted of only 4-miles. However, if you’re after an easier walk that still packs a punch for your eyes, then look no further. This circular walk has glorious views and a darling little village for you to gape at in joy.
Starting at the Wharfside car park, you will make your way along the pavement towards the weighbridge office and along the cobbled passageway towards the Jubilee Sea Pool. Opened in 1935 to celebrate the silver jubilee of King George V, the pool is built on an area of rocks that had once been a traditional swimming spot. Designed to cope with storm waves (thankfully!) this pool was once borrowed and used as a gun battery during WW2. After various openings and closings of the pool, it was finally restored and reopened in 2016 and is now heated by geothermal energy. If you look behind the sea pool, you will also get a brilliant view of the stunning St. Michaels Mount, a tidal island in Mounts Bay.
Walking past the sea pool you will come to the beginning of the Penzance Promenade. Thanks to the storms, the seawall had taken a bit of a battering recently and so some of the prom had been closed off for safety. However, we could still get sight of the fantastic views and as we continued along this long and straight walkway, it gave us a chance to chat amongst ourselves and be thankful that the weather had turned out dry for us.
We reached an open area on the prom that meant we could get down onto the beach, which Purdy loved and proceeded to go skittering down the incredibly slippery stone steps and straight into the seaweed filled water. The group was smaller this time around with only 8 of us to navigate. But sometimes having a smaller group means you get to spend more time talking to each person. Wandering across the beach, chatting to the group and laughing at Purdy running around on the sand, I do sometimes have to remind myself how lucky I am to have such a beautiful home county where there is so much on offer, right on my doorstep. It’s easy to take it for granted.
As we reached the end of the beach and headed back up onto the pavement, we finally made our way around to the edge of Newlyn village. Here you will spot the Newlyn Art Gallery, which opened up in 1895 as an exhibition space for the Newlyn School of Art. On reaching Newlyn, this is a good spot to go off and do a little exploring – don’t forget to visit the harbour which has Cornwall’s largest fishing fleet.
Once exploring is completed, we carefully crossed the road and made our way uphill (the only part of the walk which leaves you a little out of breath) and past the gate of Lafrouda. Eventually you will reach Penlee Park, also home to Penlee Gallery and Museum which if open, is definitely worth a look around. Penlee House was originally built in 1865 and was sold to the council in 1946 so that the gardens could be used as a WW2 memorial and the house used as a museum.
The great thing about this route is that even though you may have left the views of the sea behind, you can still find beauty within the more built up areas; such as Penlee and Morrab Gardens. Morrab Gardens has plenty of space for families and kids to run about, couples to take leisurely ambles hand in hand around the winding paths, and groups of young people to hang out in clumps on the grass.
On leaving Morrab Gardens, the rest of the walk is then just a short distance to the car park. A short but fulfilling 4-miles.

After a long gap, train stations are being built again. But once upon a time there were some very lovely stations indeed.
In the week when Birmingham’s main station reopened after a £750m makeover, the National Railway Museum in York is using its latest exhibition to celebrate the architectural styles from the past that helped create “destination stations” across the UK.
Curved futuristic design on the outside – with a bright, airy feel on the inside – New Street station has been transformed by its 2015 revamp.
But the idea of making railway stations desirable places to visit in themselves – rather than just a place to travel to and from – is not new.
Ellen Tait, curator of the NRM’s new exhibition Destination Stations, says “the first trains ran in the early 1830s – but by the 1840s you had a plethora of monumental buildings which serviced this new technology”. […]

25 RAMSONS / WILD GARLIC seeds...
Warning: Last items in stock!
Ramsons, Wild garlic or Allium ursinum is a perennial herb bulbous family Alliaceae.
Allium ursinum in Latin is a fresh and shaded undergrowth plant 30 to 50 cm high.
It has white, star-shaped, white flowers during the spring.
Ramsons seeds of the bears are small and of black color, they resemble that of the black cumin.
This plant returns to vegetative rest as early as June, the foliage yellowed and remains at rest until the appearance of the new leaves at the beginning of March.
When the foliage is slightly wrinkled, it gives off a strong smell of garlic.
The bulb is eaten like garlic except that it is much more pungent and strong in taste.
Ramsons leaves are eaten as an omelette during the spring.
Wild garlic is a very ancient medicinal plant known to the Celts and Germans.
Remains have been found in Neolithic dwellings.
We eat wild garlic medicine to lower blood pressure just like the curry tree or goji berry.
This plant is also effective for treating asthma and bronchitis.
In recent years, wild garlic has regained popularity thanks to its high vitamin C content and its slimming properties.
The juice would help to lose weight.
Sowing seeds of wild Garlic:
Sow ramsons seeds in a box of fine potting soil, if possible stratify the seeds by leaving them outside during the winter or 3-4 weeks in the refrigerator.
Then sprinkle the seeds of the bears in a box of fine potting soil and then gently water with a sprayer.
Germination of ramsons seeds begins 3 to 4 weeks after sowing.
When the plants of Allium ursinum are 5 to 6 cm, transplant them in the kitchen garden, in a cool damp place and especially in the shade.
