Published by Dekel O'brien at Sunday, December 24th 2017 04:21:39 AM under Chair
There are tons of chairs in the market, but there is no definite chair that suits everybody. It all depends on your size and how long you will be sitting on the it. Meshed, plastic, metal, wooden, foamed, fabric, or leather - all of these will give you different levels of comfort. Leather chairs, for example, are some of the most popular because they cushion your back and bottom evenly. They are also easy to maintain because they are waterproof. If you accidentally spill your coffee on a lether it, you can just wipe it and sit on it again without having to wait for it to dry up. The same thing goes with fabric upholstered chairs.
Everybody loves to redecorate rooms every now and then. Is not it amazing how sometimes just a few added touches can transform a room and give it a totally different look? Its fun to add different touches to a room to bring that added touch of style and pizazz but who has the money these days to totally redecorate a room? There are all kinds of things to buy such as flooring, furniture, window fixtures, and the list goes on and on.
First of all, when choosing accent chairs for your home be sure to factor in which style chair is appropriate for your room decor. Accent chairs are available in all shapes, sizes and varieties so you have a wide selection to choose from to fit your personal needs. It is important to really survey your room and decide which type chair would best fit in the type ambiance your trying to create. If you are looking for a stylish chair that adds loads of comfort you may want to go with an oversized lazy boy type chair. If classic style is more of what you are looking for you may choose a wooden straight back chair with padded seating and loads of detail in the wood carving. If you are thinking more along the lines of fancy elegance you may decide to go with a chaise lounge done in a beautiful fabric.

text: Desperate and unfortunate, lazy and hesitant, David, a 25-year-old guy, has failed as a student and lost the scholarship which supported him in the capital city. To get it back, he must pass an exam that will take place in a year's time. In order to let time go by, sit for the exam and finally get his independence back, David has come to live at La Pedrera, a small beach town where his father will abandon him after assigning the mission of building his own house during the winter. This is the story of the construction of this house as well as David's tragicomic fight to survive in a new world, a place where there are nearly as many dogs as men, where there are almost no women, where nobody wants to work and things are done out of friendship more than anything else.

Kingslea's Story
What is Liver Disease...
Get Involved
Liver Life Walk 2015, Nashville TN, Percy Werner Park
Road to a Liveration"
by Kingslea de Roode Merkel
Marrying the love of my life in November 2010 was the best day of my life.. I felt like a butterfly. Flying high overhead at peace, in love, and extremely happy.
I woke up and the world was yellow. I was Jaundice from my scalp to the ends of my toes. In February of 2011, after undergoing test after test I received the worst news I could ever imagined. "Your Liver is Dead and there is Nothing else we can do for you." My thought process went blank, my heart sank and all I could do was to take long deep breaths. Lets just say, "the honeymoon stage" was over. Just a few hours after receiving the news from the doctor, my mother had an appointment scheduled for me the next week at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Soon an overwhelming calm came over me because my brother was a patient at Vanderbilt and cured of cancer. I knew I was going to be consummed with faith and healing hands.
The car stopped.
Once at Vanderbilt I was diagnosed with Cirrhosis Secondary to Non-Alcoholic Liver Disease (jaundice ascites), Liver Failure, Splenomegaly (without thrombocytopenia), Pancreatitis, Hypovitaminosis D, Cholelithiasis, Esophageal Varices, and Hepatic Encephalopathy (liver causing mental impairment). The next steps on the healing hands road trip involve my weekly routine which includes constant testing, lab work, and a very long list of medications to keep me stable. Side effects that I live with day in and day out include: ammonia buildup, swelling, bruising, spider and vericose veins, sleepiness, confusion, dizziness, muscle aches, nausea, getting lost, loss of basic normal functions (walking, holding a glass of water), sluggishness, weakened muscles and bones, non-existence reflexes, weight gain/loss, loss of hair, loss of appetite, uneven hormone levels, sweating, shaking, and halted driving. Other treatments besides daily mdications include: compression tights, elevation of legs and feet, walking, bike riding, pilates, and a low-sodium eating plan. Through extensive research I have learned that when people, like myself, have liver failure they 1. need a transplant. 2. show improvements throughout time by liver regeneration and are kept stable by medications. 3. Do well for a period of time but eventually have a build-up of bile and the liver is unable to perform its functions of regulation, synthesis, and secretion, and thus, need a new liver. We now know my case falls under 1, 2, and 3.
Up the rolling hills and down the rolling hills leads us to the MELD Score.
The Model for End-Stage Liver Disease is a scoring system for assessing the severity of chronic liver disease. This score is now used by the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) for prioritizing allocation of liver transplants. The MELD score uses my values for Bilirubin serum (yellow breakdown, caused by my body's clearance of aged red blood cells), Creatinine serum (indicator of renal function) and the International Normalized Ratio for prothrombin time (INR) to predict my survival rate. The MELD score ranges from 6- 40. At Vanderbilt patients like me, with "A" blood type become competitive for organ offers when they have a MELD score of 25+.
WIthin the time frame of 5 years I have traveled many miles, up and down many rolling hills reaching low exit numbers and very high exit numbers unlisted. Since the start of 2015 I have gone from an 18 to a 13.
Down the hills we go; breathing in the crisp fresh air.
Fast Forward to August 7, 2015. I am Now Actively Listed on the UNOS Liver Transplant List at Vanderbilt Medical Center.
I have undergone an extensive series of evaluations to prepare for this challenging "road to a-liveration" and I AM READY!!! Nevertheless, I have no complaints. WHile given the growing severity of my current health status, I understand I am an extremely blessed person. I am loved by so many. I have a chance. My other organs are in great shape. I have a Dream-Team of doctors, nurses, psychologist, nutritionist, and counselors at Vanderbilt that are fully involved in my life. What's difficult and causes heart stopping thoughts is realizing that someone's life must end in order for mine to go on. I try not to focus on this but only the positives. Along my "Road to a-liveration," I have put all of my faith in GOD's Hands and I Believe he has a road map for all of us to follow. The best 34th Birthday gift I could ever receive in December would be the Gift of Life, From my Angel!
***Onto my next jouney...The creation of "The Kingslea Merkel Liver Disease Foundation***
I would like to say "Thank-you" for all of your Support and Prayers.
"To the World you may be One Person, but to the One Person you may be the World."
-Dr. Seuss

Congress slams government for removing import duty on wheat
The Congress on Thursday slammed the government decision to remove import duty on wheat, saying the union ministers "need education".
"There was no justification to remove the import duty on wheat from 25 per cent to 0 per cent. Our farmers are not getting access to the international market during this government's time," said senior Congress spokesperson Anand Sharma.
Sharma said the height of insensitivity of the government towards the farmers is evident in the official statement justifying its decision to remove the import duty.
"One of the reasons given by the government is that Indian wheat has gluten and allergens whereas the wheat from Canada and Australia has no gluten. This is an illiterate statement... They should withdraw the statement with an apology."
"Wheat contains gluten irrespective of where it is produced. Only millets, bajra and quinoa are gluten-free. This government's ministers need education about what is gluten-free. We will be very happy to educate them," added Sharma.

Havana is the pearl of Caribbean sea. The beautiful city with the large number of ancient walls, refined facades, nice balconies, sculptures and ceramic tiles has may places of interest to admire. The Colonial epoch has left the most part of Havana cultural heritage.
There was a plain wall in Mercaderes street in the center of Havana. It was situated in front of the splendid house owned by marquise de Arcos. In 1844 his house was the center of art and culture. The wall remained plain for a long time until the modern artist Andres Carrillo decided to decorate it. Andres Carrillo wanted not only to decorate it but also to turn it into a mirror of Havana history. He was searching for any information about the people who attended the art salon of marquise de Arcos for a long time. For several months Andres Carrillo looked for their photos, studied the clothes of that epoch looking through the press issues published between 1844 and 1845. In other words he fulfilled the great work. The "Mirror" created by Carrillo has the square of 300 meters and repeats the silhouette of the opposite building. The wall painting depicts 67 human figures belonging to various epochs. During his work Andres Carrillo tried using unusual techniques and mixing the materials getting new colors and textures. The basic material for the artwork was the stone powder mixed with acrylic resin. Using ceramics wold be too expensive and traditional painting would look dull and ordinary.
Andreas Carrillo also used sand of four shades: beige, black, pink and sienna. As a result he manage to get more than 30 shades. All the figures were created in the appropriate size and covered with thin layers of sand.
The wall in Mercaderes street is famous worldwide. Many tourists admire it and come to Havana to take pictures of this art object.

text: 'I know Portugal pretty well and the Alentejo region, to the East of Lisbon, in particular; I have even made wine there a few times, so when a wine comes along that turns an established region, and the Queen of all Portuguese red grapes, on its head, I sit up and listen; Literally, 'Naked Touriga', this wine uses Portugal's most famous red grape and strips it of any clothing. This is inspired because Touriga, so often, relies on oak for succour. Via Nua takes its fruit from infertile, rocky, schistous soils, lets it ferment naturally and then only spend 3 months in steel tanks before bottling it with all of its flavours still raging.This tactic captures all of the vital essence of this grape like never before. Even the alcohol is a shock – a lowly 13%, which is bizarre considering that this grape forms the backbone of the finest Vintage Ports ever made. Only 9900 bottles were made and only a fraction of these has made it to our shores, so phone Swig immediately if you would like to taste this wine. Winemaker António Maçanita knows what he is doing and I feel that he might change the paradigm for Touriga Nacional, because this rose petal, fresh blood and liquorice-scented wine is sheer heaven.

Edgar Wright is busy prepping what Simon Pegg calls "his little Marvel movie" Ant-Man. In the midst of a very busy schedule, the director has taken some time to promote the Blu-ray release of the final entry in the Three Flavors of Cornetto Trilogy, The World's End.
For the uninitiated, The World's End follows five friends - played by Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Paddy Considine, Martin Freeman, and Eddie Marsan - who were best friends as teenagers and come back together as adults in order to head to their home village in order to conquer a 12-pub crawl they failed to complete in their youth.
Along the way, they discover that you can go home again, but if you do, you may find that it's been taken over by a conglomerate of alien species that want to draw you into their homogeneous peace-loving Network - by force if necessary!
We were able able to talk to Wright about the film, his approach as a director, some misconceptions about his work, and drunken defense tactics.
Edgar Wright: Comic-Con Test Footage is a Good Indication of Ant-Man's Look
Man With a Plan:
As we discussed in our pub lunch with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost piece, one big misconception about the Cornetto films is that they are improvisational. "I think people think people that all comedies are improvised," Wright reflected.
"We write things so that they're very tight and specific with a beginning, middle, and end," the director continued. "People ask us if it's improvised and I think that's a credit to the actors making written dialogue feel naturalistic."
Wright actually takes great care to plan each set day meticulously. "Some directors just storyboard the action, but I like to storyboard everything," Wright said. "I just don't like going to work without knowing exactly what I'm doing. Of course there's always the chance for things to change on the day. We also rehearse with the actors before hand, which can be rare. It cuts down a huge amount of the on-set discussion time. We've done the scene, we know what we're doing."
The World's End: Pub Lunching with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost
Drunken Brawling and Defense Tactics:
Wright has an eye on the details in all areas of production, including the "Pub-Fu" fight sequences featured in the film.
"The idea is that you're more courageous when drunk than when sober," Wright said. "We tried to make a different style for each person. Simon is fueled by pure anger. Nick has got a mix of rugby and wrestling moves, which he really is a rugby player and very fast and strong. Paddy has some boxing. And Martin's fighting style is really just about trying to get away. It's drunken brawling and defensive tactics. And really the blanks (the robotic replacements for humans who will not submit to the will of the Network of aliens) are not trying to punch them, they're just trying grab their faces, so it just becomes a slap fight."
Trojan Horse Movies:
Though they are comedies, Wright's films will often have dramatic undertones. The World's End has some particularly dark elements. "You get to tackle themes in a different way in genre," Wright explained when asked if he would ever take on a straight drama. "So there are people who may watch something in a comedy or a science fiction film who may not watch a drama about the same things. So, in a way there's something about smuggling a different theme under the radar. I kind of think of the films as Trojan horses in that they tackle a lot of themes in a comedy, and I think in a way I like doing that. I think maybe The World's End is perhaps a little more obvious in terms of what it's about. On the flip side, if there was something I felt passionate about I'd direct a drama. What's crazy to me, and what I feel good about, is that it's great to direct a science fiction comedy that also fits that brief from writers that says, "Write what you know." We've fit something that's very personal to me and Simon into an invasion comedy."
Nostalgia and Starbucks:
The two biggest themes in The World's End are about the need to grow up and move past the things of childhood and the potential detrimental effect of an increasingly homogenized world. The film doesn't take a definitive stance on either maturity or the loss of individualism.
"Nostalgia is dangerous, and it can be dangerous to recreate former glories and go backwards," Wright says. "But on the flip side, the whole film is inspired by the bitter-sweetness everybody feels about their hometown, both loving it and hating it at the same time...There's a very important moment at the end of the film where Simon makes a decision where he accepts himself as he is, rather than who he thinks he was or ought to be."
As far as global homogenization is concerned, the director has mixed feelings there as well, "The fun thing about making a comedy is that you can make things black and white. So of course in reality the solution is somewhere in the middle, but in our film it's either you accept the alien control and homogenization, or you go back to the dark ages. It's funny to make that a stark choice. I'm very much a Mac consumer and sometimes I feel like they're in charge of my record collection. There are days that I want to toss my computer out into a lake and in another way, they're great. So I can sympathize with Gary's fantasies of going off the grid. I don't think I'd ever do it...but it can be liberating to be stuck without a phone. You think, 'Oh, yeah, I used to do this for years. I remember.' It's not so much about Starbucks, that's meant to be familiar and comforting. I do despise the idea of different pubs trying to be unique and yet looking exactly the same inside.Where I live there are ten pubs and seven are identical. That seems more insidious to me. I want places to be unique..."
The director does note that most of the characters in the film are happier in the post apocalypse than in the real world. So, there's that.
The World's End and the Cornetto trilogy, which includes Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and The World's End, are available on Blu-ray and DVD now.

RDB Consulting, an ICT outsource and consulting company has recently reacquired full control of the organisation by completing a transaction to purchase their outstanding shares from The Webcom Group. The Group had acquired a 50% stake in RDB Consulting when founder and current CEO Jaroslav Cerny sold half of the private company's shares in 2009.
The buyback will enable the company to develop a sharper emphasis on its core business, as RDB Consulting now represents 100% of its own interests once more, enabling the organisation to maintain its high service levels to customers through improved business operations and focus.
In addition, the transaction will allow RDB Consulting to implement a performance bonus scheme for all employees – across the board. By providing an incentive that is directly linked to the health of the company, performance of individual employees and customer satisfaction, employees will become more acutely aware of the importance of maintaining RDB Consulting's high service levels.
Says Jaroslav Cerny, CEO at RDB Consulting, "We experienced significant growth over the last year and motivating our employees with performance bonuses will allow us to maintain our high service delivery standards."
"Having not just weathered the economic recession but also growing through it, we took the decision to invest back into our business, using our excess capital to repurchase company stock. Regaining full control of our business once more not only shows our confidence in our ability to further grow and serve our market, it will also allow us to reinforce our areas of core business," says Cerny.
"Our positive cash reserve stood us in good stead with the acquisition of our outstanding shares. We are looking forward to the growth and change this move will gear us for in 2012," he concludes.

I struggle with this every day myself. In fact, I woke up this morning and realized I'm the heaviest that I've ever been and it sucks, I'm not sure what I hate more, dieting or seeing the numbers on the scale riseReplyDelete
My entire life my weight has always been up and down. And now that I have to take multiple medications, it's even worse. I downloaded an app called My Fitness Pal. I started using it everyday and before Christmas, I had lost somewhere between 7-9 lbs. During the Christmas holiday, I ate poorly and didn't use My Fitness Pal. Now I have gained all the weight back. *Sigh* But shit happens and I just need to get motivated again.
Well that's great that you are making a resolution to love yourself no matter what! I was actually 30 lbs overweight in college and I look back and WISH i had gone to a therapist about myself esteem. I joined weight watchers too and joined a great gym and I feel 10x better about myself. But sometimes it's all about your self-esteem and motivation that really can make or break your weight loss.ReplyDelete
This is great! In the first part of last year I lost about 20 pounds and have mostly kept it off, but I still struggle with the scale too. And with looking in the mirror and not being satisfied with what I see. It's a constant struggle!ReplyDelete
I struggle with this constantly. Lately I've become convinced Chris is going to break up with me because I've gained a couple of pounds since we started dating. I *know* he doesn't care about that, but it is still in my head all the time.
So I applaud you for your positive affirmations and thank you for this post. I needed to read it today.
Thank you for this. I struggle with this every day. It's something I'll definitely be working on with you!ReplyDelete
I struggle with the scale and how I think I look all the time. It gets old! I think that society and the media keeps driving home what we "should" look like and it really messes with people's minds!ReplyDelete
I've struggled the past few years with my weight and I make every excuse in the book for it. I think you are beautiful and true with the fact that we always find something wrong with ourselves. Thank you for this post.ReplyDelete

Remember the post about AFRIKOA [read here] – the most delicious bean to bar chocolate? Their chocolate story really inspired me to see what out of the box recipes I can try with it. I stumbled on the best mint chip ice cream recipe ever – yes it is that delicious that I am willing to claim it!
I have been looking for a Mint Chip ice-cream recipe that is egg free and found one recently on baked bree. I adjusted it a bit (added less sugar, 2% milk and some other things) and gosh! Now seriously it really doesn't get any better than this! It has a delicious minty freshness with just the right amount of chocolatey taste.
I used the 55% Semi-sweet Afrikoa chocolate chips in my recipe and it was just the right amount of bitter & sweet with the mint.
Give it a go and let us know what you think!
|Prep Time
|1 hour
|Cook Time
|10 min
|Passive Time
|1.5 hours
- 1 1/2 ml Full cream milk
- 3/4 cup Sugar
- 3 cups Fresh Cream
- 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 cups Fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 cup Bittersweet / semi sweet chocolate Afrikoa 55% Semi-sweet works fantastic!
- While heating up the cream add the fresh mint leaves to your pot. Do not let the cream boil. As soon as it is heated turn off the stove top.
- Let the mint leaves soak in the cream for about an hour.
- Add the sugar and vanilla to the pot and stir until the sugar is dissolved
- Add the milk to the mixture.
- Pour the mixture into a fridge safe container through a sift to remove all the mint leaves. Squish every last bit of mint essense out of the leaves into the mixture by using a spatula or spoon.
- Place the mixture into a fridge for 2-3 hours or overnight for the best results.
- Pour the ice-cream mixture into your ice-cream maker and follow your machine's instructions. Churn for about 30-40 minutes.
- Melt your chocolate bits in a seperate bowl in your preffered method. I like to just pop it in the microwave until 3/4 are melted and stir it so that everything melts. This helps the chocolate not to form hard pieces.
- Now add a thin layer of ice cream to the bowl you will be freezing the ice cream in. Top it with a layer of chocolate whirls like in the picture, and continue making these layers till your ice cream and chocolate is finished.
- Put this back in the freezer for 2 hours or until completely frozen

The good folk at Winter Goose Publishing (WGP) have been hard at work getting The Northern Line ready for publication in March.
My collection will be among several exciting poetry offerings from WGP just in time for April's National Poetry Month.
Here's the blurb:
"Dominic Stevenson takes you on a journey down The Northern Line with a rucksack of memories over his shoulder.
"Leaving breadcrumbs along the way, he reminds us that we must unite when experiencing our toughest of times. In the face of strife we must love more fiercely, with more intensity, and more often than in times of societal ease. Only by rising, roused by love for those who love beside you, can tyranny and misery be conquered.
"The Northern Line isn't just a way of getting from A to B inside the walls of London. It's a journey itself, a way of life."
My hugest of thanks to Jessica and the designer at WGP for their work.
There will be an exact date for launch soon, and I'll be doing some readings around that time also – so keep an eye out!

More apartments are available to rent in the Tri-Cities as a result of almost $204 million in new construction during the past seven years.
Richland, which has the most new apartment complexes, had an 8 percent vacancy rate in May, according to a survey by EverStar Realty of Kennewick.
Kennewick's vacancy rate was 6 percent, while Pasco had the lowest at 5 percent, according to the survey.
It's the most availability the Tri-Cities has seen since 2007, when vacancy rates began to tighten, reaching 2 percent and less in 2010 and 2011.
The Tri-City vacancy rate has gradually eased since then.
The area had a 4.6 percent vacancy rate in March 2013, according to the Runstad Center for Real Estate Studies at the University of Washington.
The center has not issued vacancy rates for spring yet.
Developers aim for a 5 percent vacancy rate, which allows time for maintenance and repair, according to experts.
The Tri-Cities saw a boom in multi-family housing construction in 2012 and 2013.
Overall, the Tri-Cities has seen 21 new apartment and multi-family complexes finished in the past seven years. That's added about 2,000 new rental units.
Navigator Villas, a 176-unit fourplex project on Road 68 and Powerline Road in Pasco, was finished this year after the first units were permitted in 2012.
In May, about 56 percent of the units had been rented out, according to the survey.
Last month, a grand opening was held for the Lofts at Innovation Center, a 160-unit complex at 2895 Pauling Ave. in Richland.
More complexes are in the works. A 12-unit complex is being built at 2112 S. Rainier St. in Kennewick.
Pasco recently permitted a 38-unit project by the Housing Authority of Pasco and Franklin County at Fourth and Pearl streets.
A 642-unit apartment complex, Badger Canyon Apartments, still is in the planning stages near the southwest corner of the intersection of Ridgeline Drive and South Clodfelter Road in Kennewick. Edward Rose & Sons of Farmington Hills, Mich., is working through the site approval process, which has to happen before it can apply for building permits for the first phase of the project.
The first phase for Badger Canyon, at 10251 Ridgeline Drive, is proposed to include two 48-unit buildings and a clubhouse.
The friendlier market for rental housing hunters means more property managers are offering special deals on rent and deposits. Of about 75 multi-family complexes included in the recent survey, about 15 reported they were offering some form of a deal to new residents.
Still, affordable apartments for low-income families remain difficult to find.
Apartment complexes that those families can afford tend to have lower than average vacancy rates, with some reporting that they are 99 percent to 100 percent full.
Most of the newer apartment complexes offer rents that are out of reach for many low-income families.
Rents gradually have been increasing during the past decade. The average rent in Richland was $743 for a one-bedroom apartment and $846 for a two-bedroom apartment in May, according to the survey.
Average rents in Kennewick were $644 for a one-bedroom and $773 for a two-bedroom.
Pasco's average rents were $640 for a one-bedroom and $784 for a two-bedroom.

Slots to impact Detroit track
Officials for Magna Entertainment said on Friday that details about the company's plans for a racetrack in the Detroit area will not be finalized until Michigan has decided whether to allow slot machines at racetracks.
Magna, the largest racetrack operator in the United States, submitted a license application for a new dual-breed track 25 miles from downtown Detroit to the state racing commission on Thursday. The application calls for live racing as early as 2004, according to Annette Bacola, the chairman of the Michigan Office of Racing Commissioner.
The Michigan legislature is expected to address a number of bills late this year that would legalize slot machines or other forms of gambling at racetracks, which currently compete with 22 casinos in the state, including three in downtown Detroit. The bills are expected to be voted on in November, before this year's gubernatorial elections.
Magna chief operating officer Graham Orr said on Friday that the company would not provide details about racing dates, costs, or other details until the legislature had addressed the slots issue.
"We're not disclosing those numbers," Orr said. "We do have a business plan internally, obviously. Part of it is contingent upon what the future might bring."
The Detroit News reported in its Friday edition that Magna's plans were for a $200 million track. Sue Lloyd, Magna's manager of corporate communications, said she could not comment on the paper's figure.
Michael Tew, an analyst with Bear Stearns Equity Research who follows Magna, was surprised by the $200 million price tag. "That sounds like an awful lot," Tew said. But Tew also said that Magna could benefit significantly from slot machine gambling in Michigan, despite the existing competition from casinos. Racing officials blamed the new casinos for the closing of Detroit Race Course in 1998.
"In any market, slot machines at a facility are a huge contributor to earnings," Tew said.
Orr said that Magna has not yet purchased the land on which the track would be built, although Magna has purchased an option to buy the 212-acre site. He said that Magna's plans for horse racing of some type in Detroit "were set in stone" no matter how the legislature voted on slot machines.
Lloyd said Magna planned to have three racing surfaces at the track: a 1 1/8-mile outer dirt track, a one-mile inner turf course, and a seven-eighths-mile dirt track for Standardbreds.
Gary Twinkle, the executive director of the Michigan Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association, said that a Detroit track would be welcomed by horsemen, who have raced exclusively at Great Lakes Downs, a small track in rural Michigan also owned by Magna, since Detroit Race Course closed.
"[Magna chairman] Frank Stronach has always told us he wanted to get back to the city area, and we've always supported that," Twinkle. "We're excited, but as far as the details, I don't think anyone is ready to say much."

Even with a longer health-span, that is longer lives and longer active lives, I don't think anyone imagines octogenarians playing golf and windsurfing but looking like their skin is about to fall off their bones. Appearance is important psychologically and also physically when you consider that the skin is the largest organ of the body providing protection against infection and helping control temperature.
Radical life extension advocates typically suggest that we will want to revert to our 20-something bodies, but in the meantime I'll be tracking scientifically proven products that keep skin and hair healthy.

The following article appeared on the American Thinker on September 11th
The fantasy that without discrimination, every demographic slice of the nation would be proportionately represented in every aspect of human endeavor – good and bad – has become official dogma in much of government. The end result is often tragic. Let's hope this step by the Portland Police Bureau does not end up allowing gangs more leeway to inflict harm on others.
Will Racke of The Daily Caller writes:
Portland police will no longer maintain a database of suspected gang members, due to concerns that the vast majority of people with the gang label are racial minorities.
Starting Oct. 15, the Portland Police Bureau will end the 20-year practice of issuing gang member designations, which police say can lead to "unintended consequences" and a lifelong stigma even for those who have given up the gang lifestyle. Officials intend to notify the approximately 300 people on the gang list that the bureau will purge all records related to the designations, The Oregonian reported.
The official position seems to be to imply that this is mostly cosmetic:
"There are still criminal gang members. That doesn't go away because we don't have a gang designation," said Capt. Mike Krantz, according to The Oregonian. "We're not pretending gang violence doesn't exist. We're just taking this one thing away."
Notice how carefully constructed this comment is. The good captain is not saying there will no impact, that law enforcement will be unaffected. In fact, the logic that created the database must include a reasonable expectation that it would be a useful tool.
I don't have to tell you why this change is being made: cowardly, virtue-signaling politicians and bureaucrats surrender to "community activists."
City officials and community activists had long urged the bureau to stop attaching the gang designation to criminal suspects, claiming the practice disproportionately impacted people of color. A review of police data by The Oregonian last year found that 81 percent of the "criminal gang affiliates" in Portland's database were racial or ethnic minorities.
"This is too long coming," said Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, who is also the city's police commissioner. "It was the right thing to do."
Let's hope there is no increase in gang-related violence, especially on the part of former members of the list. Their victims may not agree that removing this tool was "the right thing to do."
Meanwhile, in Portlandia, this group of Mennonites...
...are just as likely to be gang members as this group.I guess it is time to start rounding up Mennonites along with all those other under-incarcerated ethnic groups.

My first thought was to make an apple pie. Then, upon more thinking I realized I've never made a pie before, and now doesn't seem like the time to start.
Then I was thinking apple cider. I absolutely love apple cider, yet I've never made it. Now seemed like the perfect time to start (and it seemed easier than learning how to make pies) however, once I considered the stuff I'd have to buy (whole cloves, cinnamon, allspice) this idea also hit the scrap pile.
I finally decided on apple crisp. Still contains apples, AND delicious!
I thought we had a recipe in my family recipe binder (I'll be doing a post on this later!) but couldn't find it. :( Instead, I pulled out my trusty Betty Crocker book.
Well, the end result was a little disappointing. Very edible, but disappointing.
So that's the reason there's no recipe with this. It's not good enough that I'd recommend it. If you have an apple crisp recipe that you think is the best, I would love if you shared it!
Check this idea out:
