Puig has big time talent -- But, man, is it raw
It was interesting to see Yasiel Puig in person for the first time Monday night at Busch Stadium.
The guy is definitely a huge talent, there's no getting around that. But he doesn't seem very interested in honing the finer points of the game.
He made several long throws that caused the crowd to ooh and ah over the course of the evening. No one seemed to notice that he constantly over-threw the cutoff man on several occasions, he made an error casually fielding a ball in the first inning that allowed St. Louis second baseman Matt Carpenter to get to third base and eventually score one of two runs the Cardinals would notch on the evening. Later he caught a pop-up running in to the infield then tried to flip the ball in one motion to his second baseman with his glove. The result was an errant "throw" which left the infielders scrambling after the ball while Puig strutted back to the outfield.
I wish the Redbirds would have tried to run on Puig late in the game when he held the runners to first and third with a 200-foot-plus throw to third base. The ball sailed over the head of the second baseman and shortstop who were prepared to cut it and, while it made it to the third sacker, it pulled him about 15 feet off the bag. If the runner would have kept going, he would have been safe. If the Cardinals would have pushed it, that play could have made the difference in forcing extra innings.
The only runner the Dodgers actually threw out on an outfield assist came when Allen Craig was nailed on a play at the plate early in the contest. And that came on a relayed throw.
Several people near me in the crowd were discussing that "Rick Ankiel only wished he could throw like Puig." Doubtful. When Ankiel made throws from the warning track to third base on the fly they were also on the money.
I can't wait to see what happens with Puig's showboating style of play in the post season. It's cute when he disrespects his teammates -- like he did when he screamed at veteran Adrian Gonzalez for stopping at third base when Puig wanted an RBI. When the intensity and the level of play are turned up to 10, that style of play isn't going to fly.

Crispy Hash Browns
I'll cut to the chase. Grate your potatoes if you want crispy hash browns that cook all the way through. That's the secret.
Just like the biscuits we've made together that uses grated butter, this simple recipe - is it even a recipe if there are only 3 ingredients? - bows down to the grater that's usually an overlooked tool in the big ol' kitchen drawer.
I will say the best thing about these hash browns is the fact that it takes less time to make than cooking store-bought frozen potatoes. I've stood in front of the stove for too long, too many times, before I learned my lesson that frozen potatoes never get crispy. NEVER. At least for me anyways.
Make these into smaller rounds because you get even more crisp and it's easier to flip ... I can tell war stories about flipping one huge hash brown another time. I plated these with bacon, strawberries, and a basted egg on top that's usually the star of brunch. But today, the hash browns get to wear the tiara.
Crispy Hash Browns
Makes 8 - 3" rounds
2 Large yukon gold potatoes
1 tsp salt
About 4 TBSP vegetable oil
Wash and dry the potatoes, then grate with the skin on. Put the grated pieces on a few paper towels or clean kitchen cloth, and blot out as much moisture as possible.
On high heat, add enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Cooking in batches, carefully add small clumps of the grated potatoes, then flatten with a spatula. Add a small pinch of salt. When the edges start to turn golden (about 8 minutes each side), flip to the other side, being careful not to splash oil.
Put the hash browns on fresh paper towels to remove excess oil, then let them slightly cool on a rack so they stay crispy.
- Using a grater to shred the potatoes into small pieces helps to cook the hash browns faster and all the way through.
- Yukon Golds are naturally buttery, so they'll taste better than a russet potato.

You've all heard it – "you are what you eat" and if this is true that mean most of us are "additives". Sure, this is a disturbing notion; food additives are associated with various health problems, from minor allergic reactions to life threatening cancers. So, for those of us who are distraught by the thought of consuming additives, pink slime and other impurities, it's time to go organic. Building your diet on organic foods will not only help you live healthier but it will also benefit the environment.
What Are Organic Foods?
"Organic' is the term used to describe the production of agricultural produce. Organic foods include plants produced using environmentally friendly methods on organic farms. Simple techniques such as animal manure, crop rotation, composting and biological pest control are key ingredients in organic farming.
Organic foods also include meat from animals reared and fed in natural living conditions. They are produced in accordance to organic farming guidelines that are devoted to working in unison with the environment rather than against it.
Organic Farming strives to:
Avoid the production of genetically modified organisms (GMO)
Improve farm animal's welfare and reduce the use of pesticides and chemicals in farming.
Encourage consumers to purchase food produced locally and in season.
Protects biodiversity by encouraging natural habits for animals, plants and wildlife.
It's Raining Pesticides and GM Foods
Trace the origins of the corn in your cupboard or the meat your refrigerator. What are the chances that they were produced locally on an organic farm? Over the last few years the industrial food market has somewhat "swallowed" the organic market and its consumers. GM foods first entered Britain, as animal feed but today there are large quantities of these foods being imported for human consumption. If you trace the foods in your home back to the farm, there is a high chance you will end up on a foreign farm washed by chemicals and harboring genetically engineered organisms (GMOs).
Genetically engineered foods (GE foods) are derived from plants and animals who's DNA has been altered through genetic engineering. Although genetically engineered foods received a lot of backlash when they were first introduced in the 1970s, they form a major part of our diets today.
For example, potatoes, one of the major sources of carbohydrate is now being engineered with a bacterium found in soil known as, Bacillus Thuringiensis (BT). This is to help the plant produce bacterial toxins on its own in order to repel insects. However, is it worth it? In my opinion, there are other healthier ways to get rid of insects on a farm.
Maize, sugar beet, soybeans, wheat, rice and canola are just a short list of imported crops that are now been genetically manipulated for the benefit of corporate producers – it does more harm than good for the consumers. Adding to this, farmers are now washing their produce with glyphosate and other chemicals researchers are finding it in the air and surrounding streams. Therefore, there is a great possibility that your diet is built mainly on genetically engineered foods.
Health Benefits of Going Organic
It's up to you – the consumer – to choose a healthier path. Eventually the producers will have to listen to your demands and jump on board. Therefore, try putting your money where your mouth is. Choosing organic food in the current industrialized market is a direct vote for a more sustainable and healthier future. Here are a few reasons why your next meal should be organic:
Healthier and More Attractive Body
What you put on your grocery list plays a major role in helping you lose weight. Imported wheat, soybean, potatoes and other crops grown in sterile soil are not only distributed to your local market vendors, they are also used to feed farm animals. This results in foods that are fattening with empty calories and a number of health risks. In addition, chemicals present in conventionally produced foods increase hunger cravings, forcing you to overindulge when eating. Some food additives are also allergenic and can increase insulin levels in humans, creating serious problems for people with diabetes.
We all love the idea of eating healthy for the aesthetic benefits – having the perfect body. However, your decision to go organic should not be based solely on the desire to be "perfect" but more so your goal to live a healthy life. A healthy body is an attractive body, eliminating all impurities from your diet will help you stay younger and live a more energetic life. Therefore, start focusing on improving your health as the major benefit of eating organic foods and everything else will fall into place.
No Chemical Threats
Consuming foods that are grown organically is the best way to avoid chemical poisoning from conventionally grown food. Numerous chemicals are used for agricultural purposes today, with the average annual application per farmer equating to 15lbs. Although most of these chemicals are approved by the Environmental Protection Agency, 90% hav estill yet to be adequately tested for potential long-term health problems.
Medical findings have revealed that pesticides used on farms enhance the aging of the nervous and immune system leading to severe health problems that may occur later in life. Poor foetus development, learning disorders and neurological problems such as depression, poor memory and behavioural issues have been linked to agricultural chemicals in the past. Opt for organic crops and meat that are produced locally, rather than imported GM foods to avoid lifestyle diseases.
Organic Foods Are Better Sources of Nutrients
Organic foods have a greater supply of minerals and vitamins compared to industrial produced foods, courtesy of the rich supply of nutrients found in chemical free naturally nurtured soil. The Soil Association conducted an investigation to compare the amount of vitamins and minerals found in organic food vs industrial foods. Their findings revealed that organic foods are richer in vitamin C and other minerals such as magnesium, calcium, chromium and iron that are essential for good health. Below is a brief breakdown of the findings:
Iron – 20% more
Vitamin C – 28% more
Magnesium – 30% more
Phosphorous – 13% more
Organically grown foods such as lettuce, potatoes, cabbage and spinach had a higher amount of minerals (Cleeton).
Enjoy it! It Taste Better
Give it a try today! Foods that are grown organically usually taste better than conventional foods since they are fresher and richer in nutrients. Crops are more likely to flourish in a friendly environment while rooted in nourishing biologically active soil. This is especially true for organically grown heirloom vegetables that are produced to satisfy your taste buds.
If we had to produce our own food, we would not have time enjoy eating them. Luckily, we do not have to spend our days farming in our backyards. However, this does not let us off the hook. We still have to be cautious about where the food at our tables is coming from so that we can avoid unhealthy eating habits. Your youth, health and longevity is on the line.

5 Relationship Red Flags That Don't Have to Be Dealbreakers
Has he entered his third decade of life without a solitary long-term relationship? Or are things only so-so in bed—because he clearly needs a little schooling? "Eek. Red flag!"
Okay, not so fast. Having a checklist of classic deal breakers may not be your best strategy for ultimately winding up with a winner. Dating coach Evan Marc Katz says the smart, successful 21st-century woman especially has the tendency to look for flaws early on and nix men quickly—no one wants to waste their precious time, after all. But this habit may lead to you kicking a lot of decent guys to the curb.
"There's this temptation to move faster, but people reveal themselves slowly, over time," Katz explains, insisting that a dose of discernment can go a long way. "There's always nuance in every situation. We can talk about red flags and generalizations, because there's no other way to talk about people—but we need to have the wisdom to realize that generalization isn't always reality."
Let's practice that sage wisdom. Here are a few red flags that may not be as bad as you think.
1. His past is filled with a long trail of women.
If his figurative black book is as long as the dictionary, don't panic. According to Katz, many men want to reach a certain place of emotional and financial readiness before settling into that super-committed, long-term relationship. "He might have been having fun until he was ready to settle down and isn't necessarily a womanizing terror," Katz says. "It's not realistic to expect he wasn't going to date or have sex with anyone until he was ready to meet The One."
Katz says what matters are his intentions now. Figuring those out comes down to ascertaining his character. Does he have a history of cheating, or has he been faithful in past relationships? Does he treat people respectfully, or do you see signs of uncaring behavior or entitlement? If there are other big red flags, that's an issue. Trust your gut.
2. He's not one for foreplay.
Everybody knows that women need some extra attention before doing the deed... right? Even if it seems your guy is the only one who didn't get the memo, it doesn't have to be a dealbreaker, says couples counselor and psychologist Karla Ivankovich, PhD, an adjunct professor at the University of Illinois, Springfield. Since lots of men grew up with the quick encounters of hookup culture, they may need a little help fostering a deeper, closer intimate relationship.
"Communicate," says Ivankovich. "If your partner is receptive to exploring your intimacy together, set parameters for how to go about this. Discuss the idea that talking about sexuality and preferences in an intimate way is very different from the physical act of having intercourse." But note that it's equally important. If he's not open to improvement so everyone's happy, it's best to move on.
3. He's behind in his career.
So, you've got the corner office, and he's still trying to "make it" in an unconventional career path. If he seems to have all the makings of a supportive partner otherwise, don't be so quick to write this guy off. We're a generation that's raising the bar on happiness and that isn't keen on settling for a ho-hum career, which means it's taking some people longer to figure out who they want to be. "Ask yourself if he's got realistic dreams, or is he living in a fantasy? Does he have a plan, or is there no follow-through?" Katz says, noting these aren't questions you'll likely be able to answer after just one or two dates. "You have to see how someone reveals himself over time."
4. He can't seem to say "I love you."
If his inability to say those three little words has you reeling, calm down and chill out, says Ivankovich. There are many reasons a guy might not be able to say "I love you" besides the fact that he doesn't feel it, especially if he's generally an affectionate good guy otherwise.
"Before running for the hills, first see if you can address why this is an issue," Ivankovich explains. "Maybe he fell hard in a past relationship and his words were rejected. Maybe this was not modeled in the home he was raised in." If you can show him those words are safe with you, he may suddenly feel he can be vulnerable—and won't be able to stop showing you the love. "Far too often, the younger generation is quick to dispose of things that don't work for them in the moment," says Ivankovich. "But the truth is, life and love are about commitment and sustainability."
5. He won't bring you around his family.
He's got a big family gathering on Labor Day and isn*'*t inviting you? What gives?
Since mom and dad are generally still pretty involved in the lives of their adult children, Ivankovich says it's very possible he's taken an ex around his parents before—and that she either didn't mesh with the clan or didn't get rave reviews. "While this has nothing to do with you, it can have everything to do with meeting the unrealistic expectations of parents in 2015," she explains. "For your partner, quite possibly, he may want to solidify your commitment to ensure you are not going to be harmed by critical family members." So if your relationship is still in early stages, let him get to that big introduction when he's ready. If you're committed and solid, and he's still trying to keep you hidden, then it's time to ask questions.
You can write anyone off for his history or flaws. But if you do, you may just write everyone off. The real deal-breaking red flags: "Liars, cheaters and emotional or physical abusers are never an option," Ivankovich says. Otherwise, take each man on a case by case basis and give him time to reveal his character to you, naturally.

Yahoo! Unveils Web-Based Messenger App
I've been singing the praises of Meebo to friends, colleagues, and family, ever since we featured the AJaXed-out app as one of PC Magazine's Sites of the Week, back in January. There's a lot to like about the IM-aggregator, but when it comes to convincing that stubborn lot of Trillian devotees, my response always boils down to two words and one hyphen: Browser-Based.
It seems like a minor thing, but being able to run IM clients on any computer with an Internet connection, without having to download an app, is a beautiful thing. The ability to confine all of your chat windows into a single browser tab is fairly amazing as well.
One wonders if the folks over at Yahoo! have been riding the Meebo train as well. Yesterday the company announced a browser-based version of their Messenger client, which you can check out over here. The web-based version of Messenger is fairly similar to Meebo, expect, you know, without all of those other pesky clients like Gmail and AIM getting in the way of some serious chatting--also, the interface isn't quite as smooth. The company opted to separate different chats with tabs, ala Firefox, which I don't quite dig as much as Meebo's individual browser-based windows. The app offers emoticons, conversation archives, and thankfully-subtle alert sounds--it also marks the first time that the service is available in Vietnamese.
The app does lack some of the features of the full version, including voice. Instead of being a full version of the service (though, the company is touting it as the first brand new version in six years), it's more lite--a standalone version of the feature being bundled with latest version of Yahoo! Mail beta. Certainly worth checking out for Messenger diehards. For all of those who simultaneously use other services, there's really no compelling reason to switch from Meebo.

The http://www.tstripeseqt.com/nmd/adidas-nmd-r2 Primeknit Japan Pack Core Black was introduced a couple weeks ago and the sneaker has finally arrived at select retailers. The upper features a black stripe Primeknit pattern with a "Brand With Three Stripes" text in Japanese and it sits on top of a contrasting white Boost midsole. The translucent rubber outsole finishes the sneaker off by adding a nice touch.
This http://www.tstripeseqt.com/ comes constructed out of a Primeknit upper that has been colored in black with a subtle texture placed throughout. Additional features include a black leather heel tab, an elastic ankle, "The Brand With The Three Stripes" text in Japanese on the Three Stripes branding on the side panels, a full-length white Boost midsole, and a gum rubber outsole.
The http://www.tstripeseqt.com/nmd/adidas-nmd-r2 you see above comes dressed in a Grey and Shock Pink color scheme. The open mesh upper comes dressed in a light Grey hue, as does the heel tab and laces. A darker shade of Grey is spotted on the Three Stripes to create a semi-tonal look up top. So, where's the Pink? It's kind of hard to tell with this picture, but the Pink hue claims the entire pull tab on the heel, that's it. A White Boost midsole and Gum rubber outsole complete the look of the shoe.
Dubbed the adidas http://www.tstripeseqt.com/ Raw Pink, what really set this pair apart from past releases is the new geometric shadow knit pattern placed on the Primeknit-constructed uppers.The adidas NMD R2 starts off with a Raw Pink upper paired up with asymmetrical EVA plugs. Creating contrast to the shoe is the Trace Green hits noted on the sock-like collar and stripe detailing on the lateral side. A tonal suede heel tab, a Black and White branded heel tab, White Boost midsole and Black outsole complete the major components of the shoe.

You may know Phil Amazing Telfeyan by his stage name, Phil, or by his legal name, Phil Telfeyan. But no matter how you've heard of him, you are certain to enjoy his company and his magic.
Things to Know:
1. Phil does not accept money for his services. He will only perform for you if:

3. Don't expect any dog-shaped balloons or spectators being cut in half, because Phil only performs card magic.
4. Phil's performances are family-friendly, but they are best suited for folks aged 16 or older (younger kids tend to prefer clowns and other hijinks, which Phil also loves but sadly which he is incompetent to perform himself).
5. Phil lives in Washington, D.C.; he will happily take public transportation to perform at your event within the D.C.-metro area. For other locations, if you can get him there, he will perform at your event.

"Phil's magic is the best magic you will ever see in your life, even if you plan to live for an unusually long time (i.e., like if there is a history of longevity in your family, or if you have a very healthy lifestyle, or if you have somehow figured out how to extend your life beyond the normal timeframe). Basically what I'm saying is that Phil is great, his magic is great, and you'll be very happy to have hired him for your miscellaneous-event-of-any-kind."

— Kristina, Phil's agent
"Phil's magic left me with a sense of infinite wonder and amazement — and a deep longing to see more. If I never get the chance to meet God or fall in love, I will still die happy knowing that I've seen Phil's magic."
— Zach, someone who used to owe Phil money

Affliction does not come of itself; it does not spring up from the dust of the earth, nor grow naturally from the ground, as plants do; nor has chance anything whatever to do with it. As common as it is - affliction does not come without a cause, or without being sent on purpose by God.
Yet affliction does fall to the lot of all. No one, however prosperous, is without sorrow and trial. Sooner or later: "Man is born unto trouble - as surely as sparks fly upward." As surely as sparks go up from anything burning, or from iron beaten on the anvil - so surely does trouble in some shape befall every man who is born into the world.
Whence does it come? God sends it - or at least allows it to come. But it is not saying too much, to say that He sends it.
When Adam fell and sin and death entered into the world - then trouble came too. This was God's appointment. He said to Adam, "Because you have listened unto the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you - cursed is the ground for your sake; in sorrow shall you eat of it all the days of your life; thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to you; in the sweat of your face shall you eat bread, until you return unto the ground; for out of it were you taken - for dust you are, and unto dust shall you return."
And not only is trouble in general appointed to man by God - but each man's particular trouble is of God's appointment as well. Your troubles and mine do not come forth of the dust or spring out of the ground. They do not arise by chance or accident. God sends them! Sickness and sorrow are ordained for us by Him--each sickness and each sorrow as it comes. We do not see the hand that sends them, but a hand there is--the hand of God!
Job's troubles were many and great--yet let him not despair. Everything was in God's hand. All that happened was ordered by Hima - ll was subject to His control. "At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship and said: "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. The Lord gave - and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised." Job 1:20-21
To all who truly know God - it is a most comforting thought that their affliction comes from Him. It seems to take away the strangeness and the bitterness of it. When once they can realize His hand, then in all their sorrowful thoughts about their afflictions - they think about God too, and this comforts them. It is no longer mere trouble - but trouble which God has sent. If He has sent it - then it is wisely and kindly sent. Is there not a hidden blessing in it? Then the heart goes in search of the blessing and begins to ask why the trouble was sent, what it was meant to do, and how far it has done what it was sent for. And this is the very way to find the blessing.
Besides, when the sufferer thus sees the hand of God in trouble - he reasons that God will never let the trouble be too great. If He sends it - He will not send it too sharply, nor too heavily. There is no chance about it. All is measured and dealt out by an omnipotent hand of wisdom and love! The affliction, therefore, cannot become too sore. When the right point has been reached, when the fit time has come - then He who sent it will say, "Hitherto shall you come, but no further!"
(Francis Bourdillon, "Man is Born to Trouble!" 1864)

Being told that I had cancer was the last thing I expected when I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Hodgkins Lymphoma half-way through Year 12. It was 2015 and the doctors found a tumour the size of a tennis ball underneath my sternum.
During the end of my last chemo cycle I got a virus that ended up causing septicaemia and my kidneys started shutting down. I had to be on fluids 24/7 for over a week! I got so puffy in the upper body I could hardly move. I didn't eat for over two weeks, but yet I gained 7kgs from the water retention in my body. I was released from hospital after that stint the night before my formal, which I attended in a wheelchair. I had to just wear something out of my cupboard, as the formal dress I bought only a few weeks before did not fit me any more because of my weight gain.
When cancer struck my world, as it has so many others, I really didn't know what to do. I was suddenly overwhelmed by medical language and terms that I still don't know how to pronounce. But somehow, with the loving support of my family, I found a way to get through it. Even in my worst times during chemotherapy and radiotherapy I always knew that this was hopefully only a short term regime. Now, having been through and finished treatment, there is a normal life ahead. A life without daily visits or long term stays at the hospital.
My Scar Stories portrait symbolises the mental strength I had during my treatment. I believe that I mostly maintained a positive outlook throughout my cancer journey. Although this being easier said than done, it allowed me to look ahead to the future that I will have and treasure.

From a very young age, and before she was able to do anything but watch, Hannah has sat up on the work surface next to me while I cook. Initially it was just a way to get dinner cooked, but over time it's given her the opportunity to see what I'm doing and sample bits and pieces as we go along. Now every time I cook I have my very own helper!
As an unintended bonus I've also found it a great way to introduce Hannah to new food. She has a tendency to be a bit of a fussy eater but I've never wanted to spend time creating fancy pirate ships out of fruit or vegetable clown faces just to encourage her to try something. Luckily I've not had to as she seems to lose her fear of the unknown when she's sitting up next to me seeing food being prepared.
On a day to day basis I'll let Hannah do something simple like help me prepare vegetables, peel onions, mix sauces, put chopped vegetables in a pan or roll out her own dough for pizza.
As she's got a wee bit older and more capable and because she enjoys her time in the kitchen we've started doing a lot of baking together. We make anything from a simple biscuit or cupcake to muffins or bread. It can be a messy business at times, especially where flour or icing sugar is concerned but luckily I have a willing volunteer to help clean up!
Lewis has started in much the same way as Hannah in the kitchen. At first, he watched from his high chair while he played with some utensils but now he's at an age where he wants to do exactly what his big sister does. When we're baking I have to find bits they can both do or try to teach some turn taking. Look out for posts tagged 'baking with two' to see how easy (or otherwise) it is to have two toddlers in the kitchen together.

Masked gunman robs U-Save Mart on Benning Road
A gunman wearing a mask and gloves robbed the U-Save Food Mart at 1326 Benning Road late Friday, Columbus police said.
The owner wasn't injured in the 9:11 p.m. holdup.
In a report, the owner told police the gunman entered the business, pointed a pistol at him and demanded money. The robber took an undisclosed amount of money and fled through the front door.
The robber was described as black, about 5 feet, 8 inches to 5 feet, 11 inches tall and slender. He wore a black mask, black bandanna, gray shirt and black gloves.
Police said the holdup remains under investigation.


text: The development and expansion of market solutions is one of the mostimportant changes in Swedish education in the last 30 years. The aim of the article is todescribe and analyse how students and staff in upper secondary schools perceive the impactof market competition on teachers' work. Three groups of actors in two Swedish regionswere interviewed: students, teachers and principals. The interviews were carried out at eightschools in five municipalities, at both public and independent schools. The results show thatcompetition relations are more complex than is often assumed. Intensification of teachers'work is a common theme in the interviews. Traditional professional values and identities arechallenged by the market competition and a market-oriented teacher is shaped – whetherthe teachers like it or not. The extension of teachers' tasks is increasingly about marketing. Anew type of service-minded and flexible teacher is created. Regarding the effects ofcompetition on teacher performance, the results are contradictory. The quality discourse isproblematised as there is no evident link between winners in the school competition and thequality of teaching and student outcomes. The Swedish case is interesting in theinternational literature as an example of a rapidly growing upper secondary school marketwhich is closer to the logic of the market than many other nations' school systems.

In the wake of a powerful 8.9 magnitude earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan on Friday just prior to the close of stock trading, stocks fell along with oil prices, and bond futures rose.
The Nikkei was down 1.7% at an intraday and five-week low, and the Hang Seng in Hong Kong dropped 1.8%. In Singapore, Nikkei futures plunged 3%. Japanese bond futures, on the other hand, rose more than a full point even as cash bond trading was suspended. Oil tumbled as well, as Japanese industry shuttered in the aftermath of the quake. Gold had been falling after it had hit record territory on Monday, but on news of the quake regained lost ground, with spot gold bid at $1,416.90 in early European trading.
Reuters reported that the yen also fell against the dollar. The quake is the largest to hit Japan since recording began 140 years ago, and it was followed by a tsunami that had already done tremendous damage in Japan but then continued on its way to other land masses in the Pacific Basin.
While it was not expected that market losses would be long term—Mitsuhsige Akino, a fund manager at Ichiyoshi Investment Management, said in the report after the market closed on Friday that Japanese stocks "will probably fall on Monday, especially of those companies that have factories in the affected areas, but on the whole the sell-off will likely be short-lived"—damage was extensive and bonds would be affected. Yasuo Yamamoto, senior economist at Mizuho Research Institute in Tokyo, was quoted saying, "This will certainly lead the government to compile an emergency budget. The government would have to sell more bonds, but this is an emergency, so this can't be avoided."
The influence of the quake on the price of oil was also likely to be only temporary, given that the unrest in the Middle East/North Africa (MENA) region continued. Although Japan is the world's third largest consumer of oil, on Friday it was reported that Libya's output had fallen to only 200,000-300,000 barrels per day with the halt of production at the offshore Al Jurf oil field.

Ultra Motor introduces the A2B Electric Bike
Photo by Yours Truly
If you're looking for a vehicle that has the heart of a bicycle and the soul of a scooter – do I have the thing for you! The A2B by Ultra Motor is a Light Electric Vehicle (LEV) that addresses the need for zero-emission transportation while offering high torque pickup, extended range and reliability. I stumbled upon it at EcoFocus, the new press showcase event by Pepcom highlighting green design & technologies. The next day I was able to take it for a test drive at Vespa Soho in New York City. I wasn't sure what I would think about the LEV. At first glance, it looks like a slightly overweight bike. It's designed for urban or suburban commutes. The frame is a TIG welded 6061 aluminum body which makes it around 70 pounds (32 kg) in weight . The battery and motor are incorporated into the design so the bike looks like a bike – and not like a bike that had the bright idea of an electric motor after-the-fact. I rode a white one, but you have four colors to choose from (silver, white, blue and black).
No Driver's License Required
There's no need for a driver's license with this LEV as I was informed during my test drive. If a vehicles has an engine smaller than 750 watts and a maximum speed of 20 mph or less (which the A2B easily meets), no driver's test or classes are required…at least in most places. It's a good idea to check with your local Department of Motor Vehicles to be a 100%.
The bike comes with one battery installed that will provide up to 20 miles of travel with an option to add another battery that will double the traveling potential. The battery takes about 3.5 hours to charge and can be plugged into a standard wall outlet. I thought the weight would be an issue especially up hills or on the open road. During my test drive, I happily found the opposite was true. I started pedaling on a slight incline with no problem and continued upward for a few hundred feet. Plus with a little gas (or electricity in this case), I surmounted the hill with no effort at all.

For the Green GearHead in You
The A2B is unique in a couple of ways: first it is one of the only (it might be the only) electric power-on-demand bicycle on the market today. The throttle is on the right handlebar just like a motorcycle. The oversized comfort saddle puts you a bit higher than a standard two-wheeler which provided me a little more of an ability to navigate through traffic. Along with the higher seat, the A2B has full suspension so the ride is smooth even over potholes. The front suspension is an Ultra Motor shock-absorbing front fork (80mm travel) while the rear is a shock-absorbing swing arm (150mm travel).
Other features include a lithium ion battery, two 20 x 3.0 Kenda Kraze tires, and Avid BB5 disc brakes on the front and back. There are 250 dealers across the United States – so you don't have to live in New York City to take one for a test drive. At around $2,699.00, I would need to save up to buy one, but I think it's worth the scratch. If you wanna be a trendsetter and eco-friendly, this bike is for you. Plus, it's a super fun ride with easy mobility and high performance - what else could you ask for?

One of the great things about humans is that we are all different shapes, sizes, and personalities. But despite these differences, one thing is becoming increasingly common – nearly two-thirds of us are considered to be overweight or obese and in Staffordshire, we're no different.
This means that the majority of us are putting our health at risk because we either eat too much or do too little exercise, or, in many cases both!
Whilst we may not think this is a problem, it really is. Being overweight or obese causes all sorts of health issues like heart problems, strokes, diabetes and some cancers.
Basically, being fat can make us ill and shorten our lives.
Is being obese the same as being overweight?
Both these terms mean that someone is heavier than would be considered healthy.
Overweight is used to describe people who are a little heavier and obese describes people who are a lot heavier than is healthy.
How do we know if we are overweight or obese?
For some people, it's obvious that they weigh more than is healthy, but for others, it can be difficult to recognise that they are unhealthily heavy.
Work out your Body Mass Index (BMI)
The most accurate way of knowing if you are putting your health at risk by weighing too much is to calculate your Body Mass Index. This is a recognised measure which takes account of your height and weight.
You can use the BMI healthy weight calculator to work out your score.
For most adults, a BMI of:
- 18.5 to 24.9 means you're a healthy weight
- 25 to 29.9 means you're overweight
- 30 to 39.9 means you're obese
- 40 or above means you're severely obese
Measure around your waist
Another really simple way to work out if you are carrying too much weight to be healthy is to measure around your waist.
Generally, men with a waist circumference of 94cm (37in) or more and women with a waist circumference of 80cm (about 31.5in) or more are more likely to develop obesity-related health problems.
Fighting the Fat
If you're concerned about your weight, there's a whole host of information, advice and guidance online to get you back on the right track. What's available in Staffordshire?
But managing your weight is not necessarily straight forward. It can be influenced by the decisions you make and the environment you live in.
The Big Fat Chat
Staffordshire's Big Fat Chat is a public debate around obesity and whose responsibility it is to do something to about it. Yours? Governments? Retailers? Employers?
What do you think?
Leave you thoughts and comments here and join in on social media. Our Twitter hashtag is #bigfatchat

BMI is a terrible way to check your health.

The CD in the outside world!
It is exciting to watch my disk begin to find its way into the outside world. So far Alles seems to be very much the hit single, I suppose not inappropriately given its rock and roll origins.. Somewhat ironic in that not a pitch of it was actually written by me, though. So far, it has been on the Sound Projector poadcast, Alex Ross's video of the day on The Rest is Noise and chosen by Tim Rutherford-Johnson for his radio show in the online literary magazine Little Star Weekly... Thanks to everyone for their help in getting this - strange even on a record about making strange - music out there!

Being an ex-dancer and a would-be artist, I found this fascinating. Even if it does not resonate with you in the same way, maybe it will spur you to think about combining two things you love into something new. Something that was made for you and by you. Very creative!

I am satisfied using their hosting services. The live help webchat was a godsend and the site itself has been very cheap and easy to use. Hostingsource is a good option to get stable hosting. Their control panels are easy to use and intuitive, as is their account and billing interface.

I've been with hostingsource for just under a year...their support is good, they always respond within a few hours, and often within a few minutes. Their servers are pretty good, and they have a support forum too. Reasonably priced and well supported. We're very happy.

For a web designer handling lots of accounts, I'd highly recommend Hosting Source service. The price is surprisingly low. Once in a while websites and email accounts are not accessible, though it could be a temporary is landing problem. I like this web host - that's all I wanted to say.

Being in the web development industry, I always wanted the perfect website that functions efficiently. I signed up for a VPS hosting package with Hostingsource and I am extremely happy with the way my website functions today. I would like to emphasize on two factors of the VPS provided by Hostingsource i.e. performance and network speed. I would proudly recommend Hostingsource to all the website owners who want to get the best from their websites.

I have my old photos and files back thanks to the great work from the team. They made it easy for me to understand what was involved and how to work with the new files. The costs were given up front and their record system gave me confidence that my equipment would be looked after. It was a very positive exercise.

Thank you very much, I want to go on record that I am very pleased with the support and the speed at which respond tickets. Your company is very good here in the USA this type of service is very bad. I am grateful for the help provided so far. Congratulations for the work done.

I am impressed with Hostingsource ssd vps service. Now I have so much more control of my web server and confidence being supported by this reliable web host. My wait times for phone support have been consistently under 1 minute and often less. Their reps seem to be, with few exceptions, knowledgable and equipped to handle just about every problem I've had.
|Wilfredo Thrush

My websites have been migrated into my HS server by their excellent support team and one thing I noticed after the migration was that their speed has been dramatically increased. I asked them for a reason for this and to my amazement they told me that they updated my server PHP version, optimized the server and configured a caching mechanism.
I'm also impressed with their tech support. I just ended a session with Hostingsource support and appreciated his technical knowledge and friendly demeanor.
|Douglas Brakefield
|1 Aug 18
I used reseller services for several years & became increasingly aggrieved by excessive charges for day to day essentials such as .Net support etc. Hostingsource solution offers everything I need at far less cost with better support and flexibility. Since migrating all my hosted sites in May 2018 I've seen 99% uptime with one minor outage of email (server failure) which was promptly fixed. In summary, good service, good value, good support.

Hostingsource is a hosting solutions website that has been around for over 10 months. Many companies are available for these services, but there were always issues. Hostingsource is always proactive in their approach and the occasions when something was not working, they were very quick to respond and address the problem. To business owners, you can expect the value of courteous, professional service. Hostingsource is a reliable hosting partner. They have excellent systems with high redundancy and extremely professional personnel.
|Isaac Sclafani
|27 Jun 18
I must say I first started using Hostingsource after talking to their IT expert a long time ago and today, I am really appreciative of their exceptional professionalism & deep knowledge (again) that lead me to decide on transferring other services from another vendor (previously arranged by my other partners) now to hostingsource as a one-stop point.
|Adalgisa Sal
|25 Dec 17
It's true hostingsource had major issues while they were moving their servers.
Support, has never failed me, always left with a problem solved. Uptime is great and i must also say that the speed connectivity is pretty fast. I like this host.
|Varga Malika

Great support with fast responses in both live support or through email. My site is almost always up (15 minutes downtime last month - up for about 99.98% of the time).

Skittlette Nail ArtHI Friends,
I am going to do a super quick post today on Skittlette Nail Art. You remember some days back I shared Daphne's Skittlette Nail Art?? Of course you do, because it was superb!!!I have tried a Skittlette this time for the 31 Day OMD Nail Art Challenge!! If you want to know what is Skittlette Nail Art read on http://www.chitchatnails.com/
Didn't I tell you this challenge is making me do all things I never thought I would be laying hands on :). I am super busy these days. Didn't I tell you I will be shifting and changing job??? So with my first day in office yesterday and hectic travelling for now, you guys will have to settle with short posts (if at all I am manage to post nail arts every day for the challenge).
Quickly to the post:
The pink on the fore fingers is the baby pink top which I wear at night mostly. They are translucent pink with random white (pearly white) stripes here and there.
The other two fingers with beautiful pastel colors polka dot is the three fourth pants I wear to sleep every night. They are called "Payjamas" in other words. I love this night dress of mine and I was wearing this after the tired first day of new job, so it became the source of inspiration.
And, the lips with hugs and kisses on my thumb has nothing to do with any dress or apparel piece. I was wondering what should I depict on the thumb , I was wearing no accessory at all, not even a watch!! So I depicted the "Attitude" that I wear!! I am a warm person by nature and I was in all lovely dovey mood. My family was pouring the on e as soon as I entered home after my first day at new job. They behaved as if I won a battle and reached home! Anyways, so I thought of sharing the love with you too.
Hope you like it!!

A man caught on camera by Queensland Rail attempting to move a fridge on a train recently. Queensland rail urged customers to "book a removalist' – the video also shows a seperate incident of a man trying to move a couch. Public transport for moving furniture is a bad idea.
image credit: Fox News
The footage shows a man encountering some difficulty as he wheels a fridge, mounted on a hand trolley, from a rail overpass into an elevator.He then manoeuvrers it onto the Bowen Hills platform and into a waiting train.Queensland Rail issues plea to public not use railway to move large furniture and appliances.
Once down on the platform at Bowen Hills Station, Brisbane, Australia, the man wheels it in between commuters waiting for their trains in bizarre scenes. He then lifts it on to a train when it arrives.But trouble strikes when a transport policeman spots him and issues him a $252 fine (£149).
Queensland Rail posted the video on Facebook complete with a comedic soundtrack."While it's not a daily occurrence, these are certainly not the first oversized objects we've seen on the network. From lawn mowers and generators to surfboards and life-size mannequins, we've seen it all," a Queensland Rail spokeswoman said.

10'000 Calorie Challenge Explained + Tips For Completing The 10'000 Calorie Challenge
What Is The 10'000 Calorie Challenge?
The 10'000 calorie challenge is a food calorie challenge where one attempts to eat 10'000 true calories in a single day. This challenge likely got popular because of its prominent success on youtube. The reality is that it's fun to see people stuff their faces with food, so much food that it's sheer abundance is almost unimaginable. When performing the 10'000 calorie challenge, any food of any type is on the table. The general consensus is that food needs to be as accurately tracked as possible. There can be no guestimation factor, if you're going to go for the 10'000 calorie challenge, you NEED to make sure you actually hit your calorie numbers. The best way to do this is to download a calorie tracking app, we recommend MyFitnesspal.
Why Do The 10'000 Calorie Challenge In The First Place?
The honest truth is that the 10'000 calorie challenge is not the healthiest challenge to endure. Canada health guide's food estimated energy requirements recommend that 19-30-year-olds only consume between 1900 & 3000 calories. Therefore, that means the 10'000 calorie challenge is 3-4x above the average person's daily calorie requirements. That is almost a week worth of calories for some, in a single day.
The reason I decided to take the challenge, and the reason you perhaps should to, is to truly be able to comprehend what 10'000 calories actually is. Everyone thinks 10'000 calories it's not a big deal – until they try it. You would be amazed how much you have to eat to cross that finish line.
But hey, they call it a challenge for a reason...
Are you up for the challenge? That is an honest question to reflect on. Yes, It is fun to have a day of trying to eat your heart out without mental remorse. In fitness especially, we accept the reality of monitoring and limiting our diets for aesthetic success. This challenge allows freedom from those mental constraints, it can be an awesome challenge to see how much you can really eat.
The largest and most common reason to do the ten thousand calorie challenge is for the massive metric boost on social media platforms. Generally, we guarantee that we will make the money we spend on the challenge back from Adsense. These videos are guaranteed tens of thousands to millions of views which can lead to new fans, followers, and subscribers.
So What Are The 10'000 Calorie Challenge Rules?
No liquid Calories (Pops and juice do not count)
Must be completed in the span of one day (Cannot be past, or before 12am-12am on the day you start). Saying so, some people find it cheating to use the full 24 hours. If you really want to do the challenge, you need to do it in a normal time frame from waking up to going to bed. You can make your own decision about this, however, I personally think waking up to eat really ruins the fun of it.
All meals and eating must be shown (For video platforms to show legitimacy). Timelapses are very handy to condense the video.
All meals must be logged and tracked and up for public display to prevent cheating. Then again, if you cheat, you're only cheating yourself.
(Click to Watch) An example of a successful 10'000 calorie challenge that I did.
4 Helpful Tips to Complete the 10'000 Calorie Challenge:
1. Do not eat foods you like?
This may seem little backwards, but stick with me. YES, eat foods you like when doing this challenge, just don't go crazy on them. For instance, if ice cream is your favorite food, maybe just have one pint of Ben and Jerry's instead of 5000 calories of mouthwatering, delicious Ben and Jerrys. Why? Well, if you go too overboard, you're going to feel sick - and if your favorite food makes you sick, your body is going to try to remind you next time (hint-hint a nauseating feeling whenever you eat that food), to avoid that food that made you sick. Don't ruin your favorite foods by going to hard on them, spread them out!
2. What foods are best to eat?
You're going to want high calorie, low fibre, and foods that do not consist of a ton of food volume. The human stomach is impressive, and can handle/digest a lot of food, but it's better to do yourself a favor and try to find foods that will take up less space. This is the one day where you are going to want to avoid veggies.
Instead, high fat, carb foods are fine, do not be scared of your monstrous macros! Here are the top five Colossus Fitness Favourites:
Pizza (Especially Little Ceasers)
Ice Cream (Dairy Queen has some serious calories)
Chicken Nuggets

The Rev. Al Sharpton's daughter and ex-wife are going to trial on charges that they resisted arrest during a profanity-laden traffic stop.

Prosecutors say Dominique Sharpton told a police officer in October that she cut him off in traffic because she was in a rush to get to a theater.
Defense attorney Michael Hardy says no crime was committed and that the women were merely exercisig their right to free speech to complian.
She is charged with resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. Her mother is charged with obstructing governmental administration, resisting arrest and harassment.
After the October arrest, Sharpton railed about it on Twitter, questioning "how two unarmed women with no record could be taken in cuffs from a traffic dispute with NO personal or property damage involved," nor any allegations of drug use or drinking.
The post prompted Sharpton's 23-year-old daughter to tell her famously fiery father to "stay out" of the case.

Sylvia Hatchell, hosting camp at UNC, denies allegations that led to her departure
In her first face-to-face interview since the university hired a law firm to investigate the culture of her program, former North Carolina women's basketball coach Sylvia Hatchell said she was "blind-sided" by the allegations against her.
Hatchell, who had coached at UNC for 33 years, agreed to resign from the university in April after the investigation alleged she made a racially insensitive comment and pressured players to play injured.
But Hatchell denied the latter allegation in an interview with The News & Observer on Wednesday at Carmichael Arena.
"All I can say is that I've never put a kid on the court, a practice, a drill or a game that had not been approved by the medical staff," she said.
Hatchell, 67, who is in the Naismith Hall-of-Fame, had coached at North Carolina since 1986. She won 751 games there, including an NCAA title in 1994. She also won eight ACC championships, the most recent in 2008, and took the Tar Heels to three Final Fours. Hatchell missed the 2013-14 season while undergoing treatment for leukemia, and returned the following year.
But on April 1, the university announced it had placed Hatchell and her coaching staff on paid administrative leave after "issues were raised by student-athletes and others," the school said.
The university then paid Charlotte-based law firm Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein $72,357.42 to conduct an investigation into the culture of its women's basketball program.
After more than two weeks, the university said in a press release that the law firm interviewed 28 people connected with the program and found that players and medical staff felt pressure from Hatchell to play injured. It also found that Hatchell made comments that were racially insensitive, and when confronted by players and others, did not respond in a timely manner.
When asked whether she used the word, "noose" in a comment to players, Hatchell said her attorney told her not to speak on the specifics of the investigation.
"There is a story and explanation to that, but I can't talk about it," she said.
Her attorney, Wade Smith, previously said Hatchell denied using the word "noose" or "lynch" to her players.
The university has declined to make the report public. Hatchell said neither she, nor her attorney have received or asked for the report.
Earlier, Hatchell and her program were a focus of the NCAA's investigation into academic improprieties at North Carolina that ended without any sanctions against the university.
In the interview with the N&O, Hatchell referred several times to her track record and statements some of her former players made in support of her.
"What I know is what I know, and that's what matters to me," Hatchell said. "Gosh, after 44 years of coaching, over 1,000 wins and all the other things, I'm not going to change overnight. You just don't become something that you haven't been for 44 years overnight."
The university felt otherwise. After Hatchell agreed to resign, North Carolina hired former Princeton coach Courtney Banghart to replace her.
In the separation agreement with Hatchell, the university agreed to allow Hatchell to host her annual youth basketball camp for children between 8 and 18 years old, one last time.
When asked why the university felt comfortable allowing Hatchell to host her summer camp on campus given the allegations, UNC spokesperson Steve Kirschner said the university saw no reason to stop her.
"Coach Hatchell successfully ran her summer camp for more than 30 years and asked if she could do so again, since so many families, many of whom have been attending her camp for a number of years, had already made plans to attend this summer," Kirschner said.
Hatchell said there were a few cancellations after the news came out that she resigned, but insisted that nobody came to her with concerns about her hosting the camp. She said almost 2,000 girls signed up and are participating in the camp, which started on June 28 and ended Thursday morning.
Hatchell walked into the UNC women's basketball museum at Carmichael Arena Wednesday afternoon wearing a UNC basketball shirt and Jordan shorts. She saw a plaque with her picture and a brief biography which included her accomplishments as a coach at the university.
Hatchell wore a puzzled look on her face. She said she figured it would be taken down by now.
Since she left the university, Hatchell, a cancer survivor, said she's continued to raise money for the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center. Her first grandchild was born on Monday. And Hatchell said she'll take at least a year off from coaching to focus on her work at the center, her businesses and helping women in coaching.
"I haven't stopped (coaching) for 44 years," she said.
In the meantime, Hatchell said she's waiting on her next opportunity, whether that is coaching or something else.
"Is it hard? Yes, it's hard," Hatchell said. "But it was hard when I went through leukemia, it was hard going through the NCAA (investigation), and now this is hard.
"But you grow and you look for the good in all situations. And then you look for those new opportunities. And I've got a long list of new opportunities with a new grandson and that's what I'm going to focus on."

Ages 13-17 / Teacher: Freddie Conner
This class focuses, among other truths. on the Bible as the basis for our confession; Christ, his person and work; Repentance and faith; The Christian Life; The Church: where did it all start? Why are we Presbyterian and Reformed? What is the meaning of the acronym TULIP etc. They will also focus on how God provides and gives growth, the meaning of the means of grace, the sacraments and more. Lastly they will also be talking on how to confess Christ to others.
Ages 7-12 / Teacher: R.E. Sean Hatter
Our Sunday School class for elementary children has recently been exploring the question, "What Is the Gospel?" Starting with Creation and working through Scripture, we are going beyond the basics to see God's redemptive plan throughout history, always bringing our lessons back to the central truth of the Cross of Christ to gain a better understanding of the work that the Lord Jesus has done on our behalf.
At the same time, we are also exploring the truth of God's Word as expressed through the questions and answers of the Westminster Shorter Catechism. Because the make-up our class can chage from week to week, we do not focus on memorization of the questions and answers (though we encourage it and sometimes do fun memorization drills in class), but rather focus on the truth that is being taught through the questions and answers. Our goal is to help nurture our children into a love for God's Word, to see how it applies to their lives here and now, and to always point them toward Jesus and His redemptive work.

LEICESTER, Mass. --- The Becker College football team lost 45-13 to visiting Endicott College on Saturday afternoon at Alumni Field on the Becker campus in Leicester.
October 20, 2018
Alumni Field, Leicester
Score: Endicott 45, Becker 13
Records: Endicott (6-2, 4-0 CCC Football) | Becker (0-7, 0-3 CCC Football)
• Endicott junior quarterback Joe Kalosky (Plymouth, Conn. / Lawrenceville School) threw for 268 yards and four touchdowns while running for a fifth.
• Endicott junior running back Hakim Fleming (Bridgeport, Conn. / Notre Dame) rushed for 81 yards and a score for the Gulls on 17 attempts, while fellow junior running back Greg Ruff (Saco, Maine / Thornton Academy) rushed for 45 yards on seven attempts.
• Becker sophomore Alpha Barry (Staten Island, N.Y. / Curtis) threw for 103 yards on the day.
• Becker sophomore running back David Collins (Staten Island, N.Y. / Curtis) rushed for 100 yards and a score on 19 attempts, arguably the best performance by a Hawk running back on the season.
• Becker sophomore running back Emeka Carranza (White Plains, N.Y. / Walter Panas) ran for 34 yards on 15 carries.
• Becker freshman defensive back Materrence Holloway (Tampa, Fla. / Hillsborough) tallied an interception with two pass breakups on the day for the Hawks.
• After Becker went three-and-out on the opening drive of the game, the Endicott offense took over at their own 29. The Hawk defense appeared to be in-synch, forcing incompletions on the Gulls' first two plays, including a near-interception on a pass breakup by senior linebacker Joseph Linnehan (Dedham, Mass. / Dedham) on second-and-ten. But on third down, Kalosky found a wide-open senior wide receiver Christian Cole (Goshen, N.Y. / Goshen Central) who exploded for a 71 yard touchdown reception as Endicott went ahead 7-0.
• On the ensuing drive, Becker faced a third-and-eight when Barry was intercepted by Endicott junior defensive back Jesse Simoni (East Greenbush, N.Y. / Columbia) who returned it all the way to the Becker 19, giving the Gulls a short field.
• The Hawk defense came to play on the ensuing drive, stuffing the Endicott running game with Becker sophomore defensive back Khalief Gamble (Gainesville, Fla. / Gainesville) breaking up the pass on third down and forcing the Gulls to settle for a 29 yard field goal from Endicott junior kicker Nick DiCairano (Trumbull, Conn. / St. Joseph) as the visitors took a 10-0 lead.
• After Becker went three-and-out on their next possession, the Hawk defense once again showed its mettle, allowing just one first down to the Gulls as the visitors punted for the first time in the day.
• Becker was forced to punt on their next drive with Endicott senior defensive lineman Connor Schinderman (Chappaqua, N.Y. / Horace Greeley) coming up with a hurry on third down to force an incompletion by Barry.
• On the Gulls' next drive, Ruff burst through for a 20 yard rush on second down to get Endicott near midfield, but the Hawk defense once again held, with Holloway breaking up the pass on third down. Becker took over at their own 19 after the punt.
• On the final drive of the first quarter, Barry engineered a 12 play drive that ate up 5:40 of clock, marching the Hawks into Endicott's red zone for the first time of the day. With first down from the Gulls' 13, the Hawks handed off to Carranza on three straight plays, but were unable to break through. Becker sophomore kicker Mac Kimball (Bow, N.H. / Bow) kicked the 30 yard field goal and the Hawks got on the board with the score 10-3 with 12:53 left in the first half.
• Endicott showed off its offensive prowess on their first drive of the second quarter, demonstrating why they lead the conference in total offense. Combined with a critical offside penalty called against Becker on fourth-and-one, Kalosky was setup for a 27 yard touchdown pass to junior wide receiver Justin McEwen (Meriden, Conn. / Maloney) as the Gulls went ahead 17-3.
• Another Becker punt after a three-and-out gave Endicott the ball near midfield to start their next drive, and they needed just three plays to capitalize. Kalosky kept it himself on the option as he burst through the Hawk defense for a 41 yard rushing touchdown, his second of the year. Endicott took a commanding 24-3 lead.
• After another Becker punt, the Hawks got a huge break when Kalosky was picked off on third down by Holloway to give Becker the ball back at the Gulls' 29.
• Trailing by three touchdowns and looking at a fourth-and-16 after a sack by Endicott junior defensive lineman James Lewis (New Fairfield, Conn. / New Fairfield) on third down, Becker elected to go for it. The Gulls made them pay for the choice, as Schinderman dropped Barry to give Endicott the ball back at their own 36.
• After the two teams traded punts on their next three combined drives, Becker was poised to get that ball back via punt with just under a minute to go. But Becker freshman punt returner Elijah Hill (Tampa, Fla. / Hillsborough) fumbled the return and the Gulls took over at their own 30 with 55 seconds to go.
• Facing third down with seconds to go, Kalosky found sophomore tight end Riley Shanley (Simsbury, Conn. / Simsbury) for a 24 yard completion to the Becker 19. But the officials ruled the clock had expired, and the teams went into halftime with Endicott still leading 24-3.
• Endicott opened the second half the same way they opened the game, with Kalosky finding Cole behind the Becker defense as the senior broke free for a 29 yard touchdown to put the Gulls ahead 31-3.
• Becker was forced to punt to open the second half, and it took Kalosky just five plays to find freshman wide receiver Shea McManaway (Lisbon, Conn. / Norwich Free Academy) for a 21 yard touchdown pass, as Endicott went up 38-3.
• Despite picking up two first downs on their next drive, Becker was once again forced to punt it away. This time, however, the Hawk defense held with Linnehan tackling junior wide receiver Zach DeNike (Old Tappan, N.J. / North Valley Old Tappan) short of the first down marker on third down. In Becker's first sign of life of the second half, junior linebacker Christian Perkins (Melrose, Mass. / Melrose) blocked the punt attempt as the Hawks took over at the Endicott six yard line.
• Three plays later, Becker finally found the end zone when Collins took the handoff and punched it through from the five to cut the lead to 38-10. That would be the final complete drive of the quarter.
• A galvanized Hawk defense allowed the Gulls just two yards to open the fourth quarter, forcing Enicott to punt after Linnehan forced a hurried throw on third down.
• Sparked by the defensive display, Becker's offense seemed poised to take advantage when Barry completed a pass to junior wide receiver Edwin Velasquez (Jupiter, Fla. / Jensen Beach) for a 51 yard reception to the Endicott five. But the Gulls stuffed three straight rushing attempts by the Hawks, forcing Becker to settle for another field goal from Kimball. That would cut the score to 38-13.
• Endicott did not let up. Taking advantage of a Becker penalty on the kickoff to give them a short field, the Gulls went 35 yards in just four plays to score as Fleming punched it in from the one to run the score up to 45-13 Endicott.
• That would hold up as the final score of the game.
Becker will be back on the field next Saturday when they travel to Curry College for a 1:00 p.m. game. Endicott is off until Saturday, November 3rd when they'll host Western New England in a 12:00 p.m. contest.

Report from Eagle Radio News
6:01am 6th October 2014
With temperatures dropping, our attention turns to winter and potentially, the risk of more flooding. But how well prepared are our councils for more bad weather? We put this question to every council in our two counties.
All of them came back to us saying they have got a multi-agency flood approach.
A number of them also said that they have held community flood meetings, secured flood funding, and hope to have volunteer flood wardens ready for winter.
Over in Guildford, Lead Member for Environment, Matt Furniss, tells us about a new type of sandbag they are hoping to get: "Sandbags in themselves aren't actually that effective and we are investigating new technology particularly with them.
"So they're sandbags without sand, that actually inflate when they come into contact with water, they are proving much more effective."
He tells us when Guildford Borough Council is hoping to have all of this ready for: "We are hoping to have everything in place by December this year so if there is a repeat which we are hoping there isn't then everything it prepared.
"Residents can be assured that all of our emergency teams aren't having much leave over this Christmas just as a precaution."
Here is a breakdown of what each council in Surrey and Hampshire is doing in preparation for more flooding:

Story: In 3010 the computer viruses have been evolved and became able to travel through air and infect any electrical system and destroy it. Electrical companies have developed hardware circuits (called circuit breaker) to destroy any incoming viruses. Everything was good till Kathomee virus invented. This virus initially invented to infect Pace Makers and destroy it using shocking bullets leading to heart failures. So get ready Kathomee virus for destroying humanity.
Synchronous Virus: This virus can shoot shocking bullets when the bullet charger(called rotor) is in the direction of shooting. Asynchronous Virus: This Virus shoots at any time but bullet charger (rotor) must pass on the direction of shooting at least one time before shooting. Goal: Your mission is to destroy circuit breakers attacking you, so this will cause lots of shocking increasing shock rate. When shock rate exceed a certain limit the pace maker is destroyed and you win the level. WASD/Arrows: Move Left Mouse: Fire Space/Ctrl: Use Kaboom (If you have)

Referred By A Medical Professional
Medical professionals often refer patients to the Male Infertility Guide website as part of the process of helping them to optimize their fertility potential from the male side. Men who are referred to this website generally fall into 2 basic categories:
#1) Men with normal semen parameters who want to further improve your fertility potential as much as possible
#2) Men who have been found to have abnormalities on their fertility testing or have known fertility risk factors.
Normal Semen Analysis Testing
The semen analysis test is the single best predictor of a man's fertility potential that the field of medicine currently has available. However, we know that the semen analysis only gives us a rough indication of a man's true fertility capabilities, and misses many subtle factors that may be present on the biochemical and genetic level. Plenty of men with "normal" semen parameters are actually sub-fertile, and most men with normal testing can potentially benefit from some basic self-guided interventions to help optimize the quality of his sperm. The Sperm Boot Camp takes men through a review of the steps that men can take to maximize the quality of their sperm through non-invasive lifestyle-related changes. These changes can both increase the effectiveness of his sperm in establishing a healthy pregnancy as well as improve his overall general health.
Click the link below to get started with the Sperm Boot Camp
Abnormal Fertility Testing or Known Fertility Risk Factors
Abnormal fertility testing can include abnormalities on semen analysis testing as well as hormonal abnormalities (such as low testosterone levels). Other men have known fertility issues- examples include men with a history of spinal cord injury, varicoceles (dilated veins in the scrotum), or the use of hormonally active supplements (e.g. testosterone injections, anabolic steroids, etc.). A 3 step approach is generally advised in men with known fertility problems to optimize their chances of establishing a healthy pregnancy as well as evaluate for any underlying general medical problems (such as testicular cancer, diabetes, or hormonal abnormalities) that can be contributing to their fertility problems.
Step 1: Sperm Boot Camp
Sperm Boot Camp is a self-directed program that reviews the basic lifestyle-related fertility risk factors and makes recommendations that can help increase male fertility potential.
Step 2: Medical Optimization Program
This section addresses medically-related problems that can negatively impact sperm quality and discusses strategies to effectively manage them. This is generally undertaken in coordination with a medical care provider with training in managing male fertility issues.
Step 3: Comprehensive Couples Planning
Once the pertinent male and female fertility issues have been addressed, all couples can potentially benefit from the Comprehensive Fertility Plan section of this website which integrates the male and female factors into a combined approach to design the most effective overall treatment strategy based on the couple's individual needs.
