Bill Ward / Day Of Errors Tour Dates Canceled
Posted on Nov.20, 2017, under Day of Errors
Hi Everyone,
It's with great, great sadness that I must tell you I have to cancel the Day Of Errors tour dates scheduled in December. I wound up in hospital this past weekend with heart problems. I am OK and in good recovery at this time. However, I've never experienced this particular type of heart problem before, and due to its nature, I had to make the decision to cancel the dates. I want to send my sincere apologies to everyone who was planning to come out to the shows. I'm so sorry we won't be making it – I was looking forward to seeing you all and sharing this music with you. I'll be in touch soon.
All my love,
All Bill Ward/Day of Errors tour dates have been canceled and will not be rescheduled. Tickets will be refunded at point of purchase. Tickets purchased through an online ticketing agency will be automatically refunded. Please allow 7-10 days for refunds to appear.

Statement About Black Sabbath
Posted on Aug.18, 2017, under Black Sabbath
Statement About Black Sabbath – Response to Tony Iommi
Hi Everyone,
I hope this day finds you all in good spirits and good health.
Again I feel in a position where I'm compelled to defend my actions in the period of 2011 up to, I suppose, today. Tony Iommi's comments and some of Ozzy's, remain in a place of disparaging remarks, which bring fault to my character as a person and a musician. I completely disagree with their comments. What they believe is quite opposite from my experience, especially in 2011 when no one spoke to me of being alarmed by my playing or my health. If they kept the info, which they so readily share now, to themselves in 2011, then let that be their shortcoming. How can I be judged that I could not do a tour when we were working on an album. How can I be judged in 2011 on health issues when none existed that would endanger a long term tour. They all know very clearly how well I prepare to tour. I did not know I was being judged in 2011, if that is indeed their truth.
Tony's comment (and I'm assuming it was in reference to me touring) was, "I don't think he quite realizes how hard it would have been on him" How can Tony say that. I know what it takes to tour. I've helped to set the physical and playing bar that was metal then and today. What an undermining, self-centered thing for Tony to say. What an inaccurate thing for Tony to say. I had played all the Ozzfests and Sabbath tours after the reunion. Keep in mind, they did one tour without me first, I think just to see if it could work without me. I'm sorry and mean no malice in saying this, but it was their fear, their mistrust, and their rationale that put back-up drummers on the stage at the reunion and other tours. I disliked that they did that, but understood they wanted to. I got on with my work, playing drums in Sabbath. Never once was a back-up drummer required, and no, I did not validate the fears of those who had fears.
I missed a European tour after my one and only heart attack in 1998. I can appreciate that Black Sabbath's interests needed to be protected for the sake of future commitments to the fans, promoters, and all involved.
Ozzy said the saddest thing is that he/Bill needed to own up to that. Own up to what in 2011. What was I supposed to own up to, when I felt exhilarated, confident, and strong. Own up to, I'm not up to this, I'm sick and can't play; those failings didn't exist in me, they still don't exist today. I had nothing to own up to, nothing to confess. The fact that Oz had reacted with sadness tells me he was already sold on his own judgement of me. And that is very sad to know.
Tony commented, "and it's silly really because it was over nothing." I have to confront that statement. I can't let that wash into my life and my family's life, and the lives of all those affected by an original band failure. It was something. It meant everything to thousands of people including me. It will always be something and it will always ring with truth, and actual correct accountability. By saying it was nothing, dishonours the credibility of our fans, and insults the very heart of what we all clung to, Black Sabbath.
I will have my experience in the time period of 2011 and Tony and Ozzy will have theirs. And, it's plain to me, we're as opposite and opposing as ever.
I won't forget Ozzy's last phone call of January 23rd or so 2012, asking when I would arrive in England to commence rehearsals. Why would he say that if my performance level of 2011 had already been judged.
I regret the loss of Ozzy's friendship.
I regret the loss of Tony's friendship.
Finally, and I've defended this many times, I couldn't play one gig or a couple of gigs here or there with a back-up drummer or no back-up drummer. To do that one gig would put me in an elitist position, and I can't do that for all the other fans who couldn't see that one gig.
I'm honoured to have been a part of Black Sabbath, and to have played with Tony Iommi, Ozzy Osbourne, and Geezer Butler.
Long Live Black Sabbath.
Bill Ward

It's been several weeks since I've done the Gatley run, sadly that puts me back on course for Wilmslow road, it wasn't too bad though.
I see a new shop has opened there on Stonepale, Bikehaus, looks pretty cool, liking the font and colour scheme:
Definitely gonna check it out, and well handy should I ever run in to trouble at that end of the Monday commute.
There's some pretty funny banter on here ahead of it's opening last week, which sadly I knew nothing about. Gutted, turns out Rollapaluza were there as well, would have been a top night!
I'm pretty sure as a young boy growing up in Gatley, that a cycle shop previously resided in exactly the same premises coincidentally.

I can still remember when I watched Jaws the movie oh so many years ago when I was just a kid. The big mouth and the sharp teeth haunted me for days that I had to keep on watching cartoons all the time just to veer away from the haunting thoughts that I'm having on my mind. It was a very scary movie and I guess that made me got so afraid to swim in deep waters up to now. It gives me chills.. ahhhh goosebumps.
Anyway, sharks are still ferocious and can kill people without any warning. However, there are some brave individuals who love to be around sharks that they can even swim with them or would dare to see them deep down the water.
These days, there are also shark print designs that are coming up and I bet shark lovers would want them on their shirts or other stuff that they can wear. Here are some shark print designs on various items.

How much of the Word of God is stored inside of you?
I find it interesting that the longest chapter in the Bible is the one that contains the verse "Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee." I used to balk at memorizing more than 3 sentences. Eventually with much labor I was able to memorize a chapter of Revelation word perfect but without much joy and it eventually slipped. I managed to memorize the first chapter of James and 1 Corinthians 13 which have still stuck with me. But until I made the plea that the Lord give me strength of mind I never really made much progress.
I would encourage everyone to pray that prayer for help to memorize God's word. It may not seem like He has answered at first but this where faith comes in. If you believe He has answered even though you don't feel it, you can set your efforts to memorize a little at a time and it will become easier quicker than you think.
With two 15-30 minute sessions a day, by His grace, I have memorized Matthew chapter 1-8, and with 2-3 occasional glitches, the whole of Psalm 119.
Psalm 119
Psalm 119 is a precious chapter to me. It is an invitation to plea for something that God longs to give us. The continuous theme of Psalm 119 is a plea to know the Law of God. And if you consider that Christ is the embodiment of the Law, it is a longing to know the Lord, which Christ says is eternal life (John 17:3). The connection between Christ, the Law, and the meaning of righteousness becomes clear, especially in the light of the words near the end of the psalm "My tongue shall speak of Thy word, for all Thy commandments are righteousness" (v. 172).
What is the response that God will give when you make this prayer your own? Often, as we go through life we realize--looking back--that we can never of ourselves truthfully make some of the statements in this Psalm. Neither can you truthfully make many of the pleas because you realize that your heart is carnal and, "....the carnal mind is at enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be." (Rom 8:7). As you behold the depths of your enmity against God's law, Satan will be on hand to oppress you with thoughts of hopelessness. But if, by reaching out the hand of faith, you cry for this prayer to be your own, Christ will answer as follows:
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they SHALL be filled.
Do you catch that? The Holy Spirit has--through your prayer--made you feel your need, and you realize you are poor in spirit. Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is yours. You will mourn for your sin, and be comforted. Meekness will come as you realize you deserve nothing good, yet it is given you (Psalm 103:10). And a hunger and thirst for righteousness, for an experiential knowledge of the Lord through obedience to His righteous commandments will be awakened, and therefore, satisfied.

Fastest Man on Earth
There are a plethora of nicknames that we issue to the athletes we follow as sports fans. The King. Air Jordan. The Great One. Tom Terrific. However, the title "The Fastest Man on Earth" is by far the coolest out there. Speed is an asset in every athletic activity. Whether its basketball, football, baseball, hockey, lacrosse, tennis or soccer…if a competitor has a ton of speed, they automatically have an advantage. Therefore, to be literally the fastest man on the planet Earth has a special relevance to it, and Usain Bolt has proven that he an athlete that all can greatly admire.
For the second straight Olympics, he has won gold in both the 100 meter and the 200 meter dashes. He ran the 200 meters in 19.32 seconds, which was a little less impressive than the 9.63 100 meter time he put up on Sunday for his first gold. After his performance on the track, Bolt said "I've done something that no one has done before, which is defend my double title. Back-to-back for me…I would say I'm the greatest." While humility might not be a part of Usain's repertoire, speed certainly is. It is so damn hard to be considered the fastest man in the world and win both distances one time. To come back four years later, and four years older is damn near impossible. However, athletes of Bolt's magnitude don't understand what the word impossible means.
Bolt is also one of the best showmen in the sports world. He doesn't appear to have any pressure on him at any point in his races. He rolls up the starting line with a huge smile, acknowledging the crowd with his entertaining antics. He regularly pretends to be a DJ spinning records, then holds up his index finger and flexes his arm, pointing like a Greek God. During the Beijing Olympics, he turned around and finished a gold medal race backwards, facing his opponents. Today, during his gold medal run, he was looking at the crowd and then put his finger to his lips, making a Shhhhh gesture to the crowd. Bolt stated he did so because "that was for all that people that doubted me, all the people that was talking all kinds of stuff that I wasn't going to do it, I was going to be beaten, I was just telling them: You can stop talking now, because I am a legend." Then he dropped down and delivered 5 push ups just for good measure right after crossing the finish line.
The 6-5 sprinter towers over his opponents. He makes the second, third and fourth fastest men in the world look like children. In an Olympics that have featured great performances from Michael Phelps, Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh, the entire U.S. women's gymnastic team and others, Usain Bolt's brilliance, dominance and swagger have been by far the most memorable athletic demonstration of the Olympic Games. He has elevated his status in the world of sports to that of Jordan, Ali, Pele, Gretzky and the few others who don't need a first and last name for total recognition. His teammate Johan Blake ended up winning silver in both Bolt's golden sprints, yet he had nothing but praise for his fellow Jamaican countryman who cost him the ultimate prize. After the race, Blake said "Definitely, he's a legend. He motivated me a lot. It's his time. It's going to be my time soon." It might be your time at some point Johan, but I don't see the "fastest man on Earth" slowing up anytime soon.

What Was It My Doctor Said? The Funders Behind the Movement for Open Notes/ Rob McCarthy
Can the simple act of sharing a healthcare provider's notes with a patient improve health outcomes? The OpenNotes movement thinks it can and, today, millions of patients in 37 states have access to notes in their medical records.
If you've ever been at a doctor's office, worried you won't remember all the things they're telling you, you'll be able to grasp the logic of OpenNotes. Good things happen when patients are able to access and review what a healthcare provider thought and said during a visit. They are more likely to take medications as prescribed and follow recommended treatment plans. This means that the care they receive is more likely to be effective. In turn, that can help cut medical costs.
OpenNotes owes its start to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which funded a 2010 year-long trial in which 105 doctors shared chart information with some 19,000 patients in Boston, rural Pennsylvania and Seattle. The experiment found that reading notes helped patients "feel more in control of their health and health care." RWJF funded additional efforts to develop the idea and, overall, has given more than $8 million in grants to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center for work to develop OpenNotes.
In 2015, other funders got behind the OpenNotes movement, including the Commonwealth Fund, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the Peterson Center on Healthcare, and the Cambia Health Foundation.
Some state funders are also looking to foster the spread of OpenNotes. The New York State Health Foundation, or NYSHealth, has an open RFP right now for grants of up to $100,000 for up to 10 hospitals that are willing to share doctors' notes with patients.
These grants are offered as part of NYSHealth's program on empowering healthcare consumers, which is a big focus right now among many health funders, as we've reported often. The foundation explains that this grantmaking aims to increase "consumers' and patients' choice and control." It sees enabling patients to access their own notes as a key to such empowerment.
If OpenNotes sounds like a new app or a healthcare data platform, it's really not. New York hospitals and healthcare systems can incorporate OpenNotes into patient portals, if those exist. A simple printout of the doctor's notes from a visit will suffice, too, because this work isn't about a technology.
Patients and family members often do their best to take notes during a visit and ask questions, so OpenNotes is a backup in case they missed anything. Patients overwhelmingly use OpenNotes when it's available, and they like it. The burden on the doctor is minimal, and research has found that 80 percent say it doesn't create more work for them.
If NYSHealth can advance the use of OpenNotes in New York, it will be another important gain for a patient empowerment movement that keeps gaining steam. That philanthropy has played a decisive role in scaling OpenNotes is a reminder that even in a sprawling $3 trillion healthcare system, strategic investments by comparatively tiny funders can have significant effects.

A few weeks ago I wrote about The Story of Miss Mary McCarry. In that story I mentioned that Mary was the second child of Irish immigrants Patrick and Margaret(O'Connell) McCarry. I knew from the 1900 census that they had 6 children but only 4 were living at that time. When I wrote about Mary I said that I had only accounted for 5 of the children. Yesterday I found information about John.
The 1880 Census found the family living in Lenox, Madison, New York with 4 children. They had another child, Margaret, still living in NY in 1881. City Directories had them back in the Manayunk section of Philadelphia, PA before 1894. This was where their family was. I just did not know when they did return or when or where this 6th child had been born and what his story was. Yesterday I found his death certificate. According to this certificate he was born in 1884. And he was born in Manayunk. So the family had come back to Philadelphia by 1884. But this was a death certificate and I knew that he was not still alive in 1900. So the rest of the information was sad but expected. John died 19 May 1894 at 10 years old. Cause of Death was peritonitis from appendicitis. But something not expected, when he died at 10 years old he had an occupation listed as a mill hand. How different "childhood" was for our ancestors.

Edible histories: rice
Categories: History of food
From the banks of the Yangtze River to the larder of Mrs Beeton: Mark Riddaway on the remarkable history of rice
Alongside wheat and maize, rice is one of the three staple foods relied upon by billions of humans for the majority of their daily calories. It underpins everything from sushi to gumbo, from congee to risotto. Its benefits are manifold: while demanding of labour and water, it yields far more calories per acre than other cereals. It is highly adaptable, with cultivation possible everywhere from flooded river valleys to rain-fed uplands. Once milled, it can last almost indefinitely, providing a defence against famine and making it a perfect commodity for long-distance trading. And, perhaps most importantly, it tastes amazing beneath a chicken bhuna.
The seed of a species of domesticated grass known as Oryza sativa, it is a crop upon which whole cultures have been constructed—quite literally in the case of China, where glutinous rice, cooked into a thick porridge and mixed with slaked lime, has been used as a form of masonry mortar for at least 1,500 years, including in the construction of the Great Wall.
And it is in China that the story of rice begins, in a swampy field beside the Yangtze River. According to a landmark study from 2011, it was here that Neolithic farmers first began cultivating the wild rice species Oryza rufipogon, kicking off a process of selective breeding that saw it evolve into Oryza sativa: Asian rice. Unlike wild rice, Oryza sativa is dependent on human intervention for propagation. This mutation, which created a perfect high-yield crop, occurred between 8,200 and 13,500 years ago.
From prehistoric China, domesticated rice spread slowly but inexorably across Asia over several millennia. By the mid-3rd millennium BC, Oryza sativa was being grown in the Ganges basin of northern India, where it was seemingly hybridised with long-established but inferior local varieties to create the subspecies indica.
A foreign oddity
From China, Oryza sativa migrated to southeast Asia, Japan and Korea, all of which were established as domesticated rice-growing cultures by the end of the last millennium BC. From India, it spread through Afghanistan and Iran, into the Middle East and north Africa, although its journey from foreign oddity to widely grown crop was often glacially slow—in Egypt, for example, it was only widely adopted after the 7th century arrival of the Arabs.
Europe came even later to the party. The ancient Greeks and Romans knew about rice and valued it for its supposed medicinal properties (Dioscorides wrote that rice is "moderately nutritious and it binds the bowel"), but neither culture embraced it as a foodstuff.
It was the Moors who brought rice cultivation to Europe, following their conquest of Sicily and the Iberian peninsula in the 8th and 9th centuries AD. Alzira and Xàtiva in the province of Valencia—the traditional home of paella—were established as rice centres by the 12th century, and the Portuguese also became skilled growers.
In the 15th and 16th centuries, a few progressive European nobles and monastic orders cottoned on to the fact that rice cultivation could help ward off the brutal famines that swept the continent every time a wheat harvest failed, and so started small-scale production. In France, the Camargue region—the delta of the Rhône—became a centre of rice cultivation, and remains so today.
Malaria and child labour
One of the first written references to Italian rice dates from 1475, when the Duke of Milan sent a sackful as a gift to the ruler of Ferrara—the accompanying letter made clear that rice was already an established crop in the Duchy of Milan. A boom in northern Italian rice production followed, although this was slowed in the late 16th century by laws designed to counter the spread of malaria and the use of child labour.
In Italy, rice has been on a journey over the centuries, from exotic Roman medicine, to innovative Renaissance famine-prevention device, to unloved staple of the poor, to centrepiece of several classic northern Italian dishes: Milanese risotto, the 'risi e bisi' of Venice. Over the centuries, producers in Lombardy, Piedmont and Veneto have developed a rice culture of typically Italian complexity and sophistication, which has become a source of great regional pride.
In the cold and frosty British Isles, where such cultivation has never been an option, rice has instead remained an imported commodity. When it first arrived on these shores in the Middle Ages, it followed many of the same Asian trade routes as spices and was similarly costly and exotic. The oldest known English reference to rice is found in the accounts of the court of Henry III, which state that between Christmas 1233 and the following Easter, the Countess of Leicester's household munched their way through 110 pounds of this valuable import.
Medieval English rice dishes were sweet, savoury or often both at once, enriched with liberal quantities of almond milk. The Forme of Cury, a royal cookbook dating from around 1390, contains this pithy little recipe: "Take rice and wash them clean and do them in earthen pot with good broth and let them seethe well. Afterward take almond milk and do thereto and colour it with saffron and salt, and mess forth."
Luxurious dishes
Around three decades later, the compiler of the Liber Cure Cocorum, writing in verse in a northern English dialect, listed numerous luxurious dishes containing either rice or rice flour. These numbered among them 'blanc manger': at first glance a conventional sweet pudding of rice, almond milk, sugar and fried almonds, but with the distinctly medieval addition of some chicken.
British consumption of rice grew over the centuries as trade (and relentless empire-building) increased the availability of this once-extravagant grain and reduced its price accordingly. But it still retained an air of exoticism, evident from the lack of distinctly British recipes developed to incorporate it. Hannah Glasse, in her Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy (1747), used rice in recipes with such cosmopolitan names as "To dress mutton the Turkish way", "To make a currey the Indian way" and "To make a pellow the Indian way".
The closest we have to native rice dishes are probably rice pudding and kedgeree, the latter inspired by an Indian breakfast dish but Anglicised to the point that its Asian roots are all but lost: the kedgeree recipe in Mary Harrison's The Skilful Cook (1884) contains rice, smoked fish, hard-boiled eggs and—other than the grain itself—not the slightest hint of anything remotely foreign.
The gradual incorporation of rice into the British diet was in part fuelled by the growth of a rice-growing culture in the American colonies, particularly Carolina, which opened up a whole new route for importation. But this development had darkness at its heart.
Wild grass
The overwhelming majority of rice cultivars eaten around the world today (of which there are hundreds) come from the Oryza sativa species. But around 2,000-3,000 years ago a second species, Oryza glaberrima, was domesticated in west Africa, entirely independently, from a different strain of wild grass.
The parts of west Africa where rice cultivation thrived were among those most horribly brutalised by the Atlantic slave trade in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, and it was during this period that production of rice took hold throughout the Americas. The Portuguese took African slaves to Brazil, the Spanish took them to Latin America, the British took them to North America, and the agricultural knowhow and forced labour of these slaves turned the New World into an engine of rice cultivation.
The most famous American rice, known as Carolina Golde, was a cultivar of Oryza glaberrima, meaning it came from an African source. One famous origin story tells of sea captain John Thurber's ship being repaired in Charleston 1685 and a sack of Madagascan rice left behind in part-payment, kicking off a rice cultivation boom. Far more likely—and far less edifying—is that African rice arrived in Carolina on slave ships, used to keep slaves (barely) alive in transit.
Slaves with rice-growing skills attracted a premium as Carolina rice became a valuable commodity. In 1691, an act was passed that permitted the people of Carolina to pay their English taxes in rice. In 1700, 330 tonnes of Carolina rice were shipped to England. By 1770, annual exports had hit 42,000 tonnes. The human cost of this trade was considerable.
The American Civil War
After the American Civil War, as the southern slave economy collapsed, Carolina rice quickly disappeared, replaced by more conventional Oryza sativa varieties grown in Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas.
Rice consumption in the UK continues on a steady upward trajectory. In much of the rest of the world it remains as fundamental to daily life as it has for thousands of years—still feeding billions, still bulking up a bewildering diversity of dishes, still keeping the Great Wall of China standing strong.


text: Wild Market Wild Ginseng and The Wild Ginseng Market is not as other Ginseng Markets are; Wild Ginseng is the best Quality of all ginseng because it is all Natural and Wild. Let me explain first by talking about the three ginseng`s that are not wild: These are farmed, woods grown, and wild simulated. 1 – Farmed Ginseng is grown in beds like vegetables, a lot use many chemicals and unnatural methods to grow under imitation shade and they know how old the roots are in every bed before they dig them. The ginseng is not wild so they are able to pre set there prices every season because they are farm raised. Therefore, they know the prices before season. 2 – Woods grown ginseng is a little better ginseng than Farmed because it is grown under the natural forest canopy; however, it may be fertilized or tilled soil and other things such as chemicals that may be used in growing this ginseng. The seed is planted and not wild sown therefore, they know the year and age of every bed and can pre determine prices. 3 – Wild simulated is the best of these 3 and most likely will have no chemicals or tilled ground and the overall quality is better than the first two. Still they too can predetermine the age of their ginseng because the seed was planted, so they know how much seed was planted and when it was planted. Wild Ginseng Is an all Natural Ginseng Root that was put in the Mountain by the Creator. It has not been touched by man and there is no tilled soil thus, causing the stress rings of all wild ginseng. It has no pesticides or chemicals; it is WILD and there is no other ginseng that compares to it in quality, PERIOD. Wild Ginseng season opens up in September on the 1st day in KY, TN, & VA. These are the three States that we represent as Dealers. Most of the time the wild ginseng tops will die out in mid to late November, I have seen rare seasons when the tops lasted till early December but, that is rare. So we have between two and three Months to harvest all fresh wild ginseng that will be harvested before the tops die and seeing that you can not keep it fresh for long periods of time before the sale, fresh wild ginseng sales usually ends by middle to late December every season. Do not be deceived there is no way to buy fresh wild ginseng after late December. Websites lie all the time. Our prices are based on my knowledge and experience of the crops every season. Our prices are not based on what others say or do or others prices. This is why we have so many customers that deal with us and this is why they continue to buy from us year after year and never look anywhere else. Our customers are very happy. We invite them to our business and to our home; we tell them the truth through this site and we show them the truth at our own home and that is why Taylors Fresh Wild Ginseng is well established in the Appalachian Mountains of KY, TN, & VA: This information that I give you on our website is not found on many websites; because many do not sell wild ginseng at all and they can not prove that their ginseng is wild. I can, and that is why I share this information with the world. We are not ashamed of our ginseng and we are not ashamed to call it what it is and that is True Wild American Ginseng. Take care of your body first. Billy Taylor.

Aston Commissioners Recognize Joseph W. Owsley, Sr.
by Loretta Rodgers.
Aston Commissioners, during the July 15 meeting, presented a proclamation to longtime resident Joseph Owsley, Jr. on the event of his 90th birthday, which he will celebrate on August 22.
Joe moved to Aston with his family in 1955, where he and his wife Mabel resided on Seward Lane for more than 60 years. They raised their seven children in the township, and six continue to live in the Aston.
Their son Rick, for whom the field house at the Aston Community Center is named, died several years ago.
Joe was a basketball coach for the Aston AA organization, loved to play softball, enjoyed a good game of golf, and was an avid bowler.
He was a member of the Green Ridge Fire Company when it was housed at Dutton Mill and Chrystal Roads. He ans Mabel attended Mount Hope United Methodist Church.
Joe and Mable are the grandparents of 15 and great grandparents of 15.
"This gives me great honor to read this proclamation to a gentleman that I knew when he was called The Colonel," said 5th ward Commissioner Jim McGinn. "At one time when I decided to run for commissioner, his family had nine votes and his son Ricky was good friends with the Feeley family, who had another eight votes. So, I was up a lot right from the beginning."
Owsley was on-hand at the meeting with his children, grandchildren and many other family members.

Joe Dante has just finished shooting a 3-D teen thriller, "The Hole." He talks about the 3-D process in an interview in this month's Cahiers du Cinéma:
I had planned some things that turned out to be very hard on viewers' eyes. Say you have a close-up of a puppet—we have a clown puppet in the film. You can use the 3-D effect so that instead of his nose coming out, his other features are pushed in. They become concave, as if you were looking from inside a mask. We tested several ideas like that which turned out to be pretty unpleasant—they make you take your glasses off and run screaming from the theatre. Maybe one day a director like Lars von Trier will experiment with it.
According to Dante, shooting in 3-D increases a film's budget by only twenty per cent, so it's not beyond the realm of possibility.

The week started with Chennaiyin FC firing four past the best defense in the League as Delhi Dynamos were ate the wrong end of a thumping. Then it was the Highlanders who kept their qualifying hopes intact as they earned a credible point away at Goa after an entertaining 1-1 draw.
Kerala Blasters added more misery to Mumbai City FC's season as they netted a late equalizer in a 1-1 draw, a result which left both the teams on the brink of elimination, before FC Pune City's campaign took another turn for the worst as an Iain Hume inspired Atletico de Kolkata handed them a 4-1 bashing at the Salt Lake Stadium.
Delhi Dynamos bounced back from their 4-0 reverse with a 2-1 win against NorthEast United in Guwahati thanks to a late Gustavo Dos Santos goal before the week concluded with FC Goa hammering ten man Kerala Blasters 5-1 in Kochi to send them packing and earning a semi-final berth for themselves.
The team of the week reflects the results as Chennaiyin FC have four players, followed by Atletico de Kolkata and FC Goa with three each. It wasn't a great week for defenders and that sees the Team of the Week take shape in a 3-4-3 formation.
#1 Goalkeeper
Amrinder Singh (Atletico de Kolkata)
The Atletico de Kolkata goalkeeper had a good game in goal for the champions against an FC Pune City side which didn't test him a lot. He was alert when required, seen by when he parried an Adrian Mutu free-kick to safety.
However, there was little he could do for Mutu's wonderful individual goal which went straight in. Singh continued his good form between the sticks and looked solid all evening. Amrinder has managed to marshall the Atletico defence very well and has led them to the joint-best defensive record in the league.
#2 Defence
Bernard Mendy (Chennaiyin FC)
After coming under a lot of criticism for his performances this season, Bernard Mendy produced a stellar performance against Delhi Dynamos and was in command of his box against the likes of Robin Singh and Gadze.
The Chennaiyin FC skipper won almost all the aerial duels with the two powerful forwards, thus nullifying their threat.
Arnab Mondal (Atletico de Kolkata)
Mondal was a rock at the back for Atletico and dealt with the danger of Mutu and Tuncay Sanli very well. He took care of everything that was thrown at him and was good in the air while also making some crucial tackles to take the ball off the feet of Tuncay and Mutu.
Sandesh Jhingan (Kerala Blasters)
The Indian National Team centre-back had a mixed week in defence for Kerala Blasters. He was fantastic against Mumbai City FC in their 1-1 draw in Mumbai where he made some vital interventions to deny Sunil Chhetri go clear on goal.
He also made some important blocks to prevent Mumbai City FC from doubling their lead in the game. He was good against FC Goa too, until the Blasters were reduced to ten men, and was exposed too much later in that game.
#3 Midfield
Bruno Pelissari (Chennaiyin FC) – Left Wing
The Brazilian was a constant menace on the left side in their 4-0 win over Delhi Dynamos and managed to squeeze a shot past three defenders for his goal. He never allowed the Delhi Dynamos backline to rest and was relentless in attack, combining well with Jeje and Mendoza to keep the defence guessing.
Raphael Augusto (Chennaiyin FC) – Central Midfielder
Raphael Augusto was one of the best players of the week as he completely dominated the Delhi Dynamos midfield. He provided some excellent through balls and also broke up the Delhi attack on several occasions.
Most importantly, he kept the Dynamos' most important player, Florent Malouda, quiet.
Leo Moura (FC Goa) – Central Midfield
A major contender for the Player of the Season, Leo Moura is a permanent member of the ISL Team of the Week. Once again, he was excellent in both the games FC Goa played and racked up three assists in two games.
His assist for Reinaldo's goal against NorthEast United was one of the finest ones seen this season and showed his wide passing repertoire.
Mandar Rao Dessai (FC Goa) – Right Wing
The find of ISL season two once again impressed, this time in a wing-back role. He provided an assist and a goal in FC Goa's win over Kerala Blasters and terrorized Deepak Mondal throughout the match.
He struggled at times defensively in this new role, but did enough for Zico to keep faith in him for the matches to come.
#4 Attack
Jeje Lalpekhlua (Chennaiyin FC)
Jeje was Chennaiyin's fox in the box against Delhi Dynamos and netted two crucial goals which helped his team decimate the Dynamos and massively aided their goal difference. He also assisted Chennaiyin's opening goal and was a livewire in attack for the Chennai outfit, helping them get back in contention for a spot in the semi-finals.
Reinaldo (FC Goa)
It was a superb week for the Brazilian centre-forward as he scored four goals in the week. The first one was the most crucial as his goal earned Goa a point against NorthEast United. He was simply scintillating in Kochi and was involved in all the five goals, scoring three of them as FC Goa booked a semi-final place with a 5-1 win over the Kerala Blasters
Iain Hume (Atletico de Kolkata)
Hume put up an exhibition of finishing as he scored yet another hat-trick in Atletico de Kolkata's 4-1 win over FC Pune City. The Canadian got his tally up to nine goals for the season, just one behind Stiven Mendoza in the race for the Golden Boot.
Hume's goals helped Atletico de Kolkata book a semi-final berth and also helped push his team to the top of the standings.

Day 5:
Day 8:
Broccoli Sprouts – anti-cancer, anti-ageing, anti-inflammatory, anti-fat. Are you missing out?
- The mason jars to make broccoli sprouts that I use (Shown in the video) are these ones, I recommend buying a total of 4-8 jars to produce a big enough batch each month
- The seeds I use (shown in the video) are these ones.
If you haven't heard already, Broccoli sprouts are *incredible* for your all-round health. I was told about them by an old friend a couple of months ago.
He raved about their benefits, and he was right. This isn't just another cool fitness fad, these are the real deal backed up by a whole library of scientific research.
Just after I take them I always feel an incredible boost of energy, strength and vitality.
I did a bit more research – it turns out that broccoli sprouts are scientifically proven to prevent and fight cancer, detoxify your body, reduce inflammation and super charge your overall health in every other respect. The superfood of all superfoods?
I don't think the amazing benefits are all too common knowledge in the health world (yet) (at least I haven't heard them mentioned once in face to face chats with fitness pros in the UK) so I thought i'd share what I've learned to date in a written guide on the subject, including how to incorporate them into your daily meal or diet plan.
Scientific papers supporting the amazing properties of broccoli sprouts
The days of 'bro-science' on the internet are over. I don't support or endorse anything that doesn't have a weighty amount of scientific literature behind it – thats why I am a big fan of time under tension training. Broccoli sprouts are no exception. Here are the papers I read before trying these things and incorporating them into my meal plans with clients:
Broccoli sprouts: An exceptionally rich source of inducers of enzymes that protect against chemical carcinogens
Broccoli Sprouts, cancer prevention and detoxification
Sulforaphane and Other Nutrigenomic Nrf2 Activators: Can the Clinician's Expectation Be Matched by the Reality?
Antioxidant capacity of broccoli sprouts subjected to gastrointestinal digestion
Broccoli Sprouts Cheat Sheet
- To get the science bit out of the way, the magic 'ingredient' in Broccoli sprouts is something called Sulforaphane.
- In scientific study after scientific study Sulforaphane has been shown to have an incredible number of health benefits (including preventing and fighting many types of cancer and tumours).
- The volume of scientific literature supporting Sulforaphane makes the health benefits of broccoli sprouts (which are very, very high in Sulforaphane) incredibly difficult to ignore or deny.
- Broccoli sprouts are baby plants (i.e. not fully matured vegetables) that contain 100x more Sulforaphane (the good stuff that your body loves and that fights cancer) than normal broccoli.
Ready to give them a try?
How to make Broccoli Sprouts
What will you need to make broccoli sprouts?
- Mason jars x 4-8 (if you are preparing them for the entire family (highly recommended to help them all stay healthy – you will need more) – this will save you time.
- Organic broccoli sprouting seeds – these are dirt cheap and probably the single best coniferous vegetable you can eat, worth every penny!
- A cool, dark space to store them.
- A little tender loving care 😉
Instructions – How do you make them? (It's easier than it sounds!)
- These refrigerate well for about 2-3 weeks so make sure you prepare enough broccoli sprouts to maximise efficiency.
- Start by taking a mason jar and filling it with two tablespoons of broccoli seeds, don't exceed this amount since the seeds grow and will be overcrowded if you use too much.
- Put the sieve lid on the mason jar, make sure it is on tightly.
- Rinse the seeds with a small amount of water by swilling the water around, make sure all the seeds are well rinsed;
- Drain away all excess water;
- Repeat this process 4-8 times with a new jar each time – depending on the amount you want to make (4 jars usually lasts me just over a fortnight but if you are cooking for a family you will need more).
- Put all of the jars into a cool, dark place such as a kitchen cupboard.
- It is very important to position the jars using the angled bracket around the lid so that the top is facing down to allow all excess water to drain – if you do not do this your seeds will mould and you'll lose the magic;
- Put a waterproof tray like this one underneath the jars so you catch any excess water, clean this every now and then to remove any old water;
- Each day you must rinse the seeds by topping up the jar with a little water and swilling and draining – twice a day else they will go mouldy (I set an alarm on my phone to do this at 6a.m. (when I wake up) and 8p.m. (just after I come home).
- By day 8 you should rest the sprouted seeds in their jars in indirect sunlight on a window sill – this will give them a nice green apperance.
- Day 9/10 – refrigerate them, they are good to use now for around two weeks!
- The whole process takes about 10 days but boy, is it worth it.
Here is an update from day 5 of the process (half way!):If you have any questions about broccoli sprouts, please leave them in the comments below and i'll get back to you ASAP!
Cheers to your good health!

I have been in England on vacation, and I don't want to be one of those bores who feel compelled to tell you every detail about every trip.
But the way I look at it, foreign travel has to generate more interesting material than my usual journeys back and forth to the Hernando County, Fla., Commission chambers. So here goes:
London is a livelier, more cosmopolitan city than when I visited 30 years ago, at least partly because of its membership in the European Union. There are more tall, modern buildings, more restaurants offering a greater variety of ethnic food, more people of color.
Of course, not everyone likes this, and it seems to me that prejudice, as long as it's framed as defending British culture, is more accepted here than in the United States. I can't tell you how many times I heard the following, clearly untrue statement about London: "You won't hear much English spoken there anymore."
I bet that little of this hostility is expressed directly because British people are polite.
I was skeptical about this standard generalization, partly because it is so standard, but I came to believe it really is true.
On our flight to London, the failure of my seat to properly recline drew a huddle of British Airways flight attendants who apologized as though this was a potential international incident and then quickly upgraded my wife and me to business class. Over the next three weeks, I didn't receive even the slightest bump on the street without hearing a sincere "sorry." Every driver on the narrow roads seemed determined to let us pass before we let them. Of course, the roads are very narrow, which, in part, explains these fine manners. It's a crowded place, and it takes some doing to get along.
This also may explain the importance placed on the social tradition of gathering in a pub and sipping amber-colored, cool-but-not-cold "real ale." On earlier visits, it seemed to me that drinking didn't get any better than this.
But now — and this is a stunning turnabout — our beer is better. Or at least it tastes better to me. Call me a provincial American, but I missed the hoppy zing of a good microbrew as much I missed free coffee refills.
Our soft drinks are worse, at least worse than their best soft drink, Ribena, a black currant syrup meant to be mixed with water. My kids quickly learned to stick to this and avoid the corrosively acidic British "lemonade." And I found that as an accompaniment to British people's favorite summer pastime — sitting and chatting in immaculately tended, fragrant gardens — a Ribena-and-water almost beats a gin-and-tonic.
One reason people here love sitting outside on sunny days is that there are so few of them, which also means Brits are extreme wimps about hot weather. The arrival of a warm front was a top national news story in our first week here, with bold headlines about the "searing" heat "gripping" the country and ominous warnings about the dangers of dehydration broadcast over loudspeakers in London's subway system. Seemed pretty odd to we Floridians enjoying mild breezes on the balcony of our rented apartment.
Maybe people in the United Kingdom treated this warm spell as the coming of a global-warming apocalypse because they actually seem to believe in global warming. You see giant blades of wind turbines slowly rotating on hilltops and in estuaries all over Great Britain. To help stabilize the production of such erratic sources of energy, a power station in Wales pumps water into a massive artificial lake when demand for energy is low and lets it flow back down over turbines when use is at its peak.
Brits hang out laundry not because they don't have dryers, but because they regard it as pointless to use them if they don't have to. And they drive sensible, fuel-efficient cars. I saw precisely one pickup truck in three weeks here, a tiny Volkswagen parked in a barnyard.
People here presumably need to haul stuff once in a while. They apparently don't feel the need to hog the road and more than their share of fossil fuels by tooling around in Ford F-250s.
Or maybe they just can't afford to because this place is expensive. Even when getting around London on public transportation, avoiding the most overpriced sights and consuming nothing more than prepackaged sandwiches and bottled water, pounds notes vanished from my wallet as if they'd evaporated.
And the price of fuel is downright crippling, about three times as high as in the United States. In fact, people here pay about as much in fuel tax as we pay for fuel.
Considering the conservation this encourages, I don't think this is such a bad thing.
If the County Commission wants to take up this issue when I get back to Brooksville, I'll really have something interesting to write about.

More side-splitting entertainment from TV Licensing this week, with the release of a series of videos proclaiming how oppressed its minimum wage, door-knocking cannon fodder are.
We have previously commented on the irony of TV Licensing producing videos condemning the "bullying" of its miscreant goons, when many of those goons are actually the most prolific bullies in the school yard.
It is a fact, although conveniently forgotten by TV Licensing, that on a pro-rata basis its goons are far more likely to commit acts of intimidation, fraud, theft or assault than fall victim to them. Over the years we have seen numerous cases - far too many to count - of TV Licensing goons acting dishonestly on the doorstep.
Every day TV Licensing goons hammer on the doors of thousands of legitimately licence-free properties, with only on thing on their minds: how to sell the occupier a TV licence. If they can't sell the occupier a TV licence, then they'll often settle for getting them done for TV licence evasion instead.
TV Licensing goons, who are employed by Capita Business Services Ltd, are required to achieve at least one "Code 8" prosecution statement every hour of the working week. As we've previously discussed, we consider that target nigh on impossible to achieve by a scrupulous goon playing to the rules. Alarmingly, TV Licensing goons face disciplinary action if they fail to nab the required number of "evaders", which sometimes skews their interpretation of the legislation and, indeed, the truth.
Anyhow, the focus of today's post are the recent videos starring reformed alky-turned-funnyman Rob Delaney, who fortunately has a Wikipedia page. The premise is that three TV Licensing goons - Anser Hussain, Phillip Carvill and Chris Morgan - go about their "normal" doorstep routine, which is then reconstructed and evaluated in the classroom. Delaney throws in a few "witty" (or rather "shitty") one-liners for good measure.
We should add at this stage that contrary to the image TV Licensing is trying to portray, none of the goons depicted are regular door-knockers. They are actually Area Managers, who have no doubt been specially groomed for the role. Carvill in particular is a regular TV Licensing pin up, having previously featured in promotional photographs (like the one shown above).
The opening line of the video above shows Delaney knocking at a door and gleefully announcing "Hello, I'm from TV Licensing". He appears blissfully unaware, as a newcomer to these shores, that TV Licensing goons never volunteer their identity and rarely confirm it at the first time of asking. Indeed, recent video footage shows some TV Licensing goons point blank deny their affiliation with the BBC's militant revenue generation arm.
At various stages of the video Delaney belittles the three bemused goons by teasing their appearance and mannerisms. Delaney also takes the opportunity to ridicule the notion of private property and flippantly suggests that a passing member of the public meant there was "clearly a criminal element" living nearby.
In another of the videos Delaney defends the continuation of the TV licence fee, stating: "I've lived here for nine months now and British television is so far superior to American television. I'm worried that if the BBC was damaged or harmed in anyway - for example, by the licence fee being taken away - that the UK would just turn into a grey, rainy version of Florida".
Several alternative versions of the video have appeared on YouTube and TV Licensing has been quick to file copyright claims to have them removed. In a worrying development, TV Licensing has also asked YouTube to remove videos that do not include any of its copyrighted material.
Remember that anyone who does not legally require a TV licence has no legal business with TV Licensing. We advise anyone in that situation to ignore TV Licensing completely. Bin TV Licensing letters and keep their goons out in the cold.

"Knowledge is power. Information is liberating." Kofi Annan.
When I was diagnosed, one of my first questions to Dr Powrie was "can I still climb mountains and run long distances?" He told me that it would be complicated, and that I should maybe reign in my ambitions.*
I'm not going to reign in my ambitions.
Having diabetes makes doing prolonged physical activity a more risky because of the risk of experiencing a hypo (low blood sugar). It is particularly important to bear this in mind when half way up a mountain, because it is hard to get a paramedic up a cliff, and it can endanger the diabetic and his companions.
Fortunately, mountaineering is already a risky business involving lots of kit. When climbing a mountain, or descending a snowy slope on skis, one has to constantly assess risk of falling, of weather, of avalanches etc. So I already have transferrable skills I can use to manage diabetes – it's just an additional risk factor to manage, and it requires another load of kit.
The desire to keep on doing all this stuff has given me the motivation to learn as much as I can about the condition, and part of that is to collect a load of data. I'm suffering from a bit of "computer programmers block" at the moment and can't quite decide how best to organise the mountain of data I'm creating every day. The crux of the problem is as follows: a normal person has to eat the right food to fuel their body whilst spending a day running or climbing. I need to do that, but also take the right mix of long and short acting insulin, and the right amount of carbs to stop me from experiencing hypos.
I've already found, for instance that if I'm running fast (for me, I'm defining a "fast run" as any distance up to half marathon) my blood sugar generally goes up for the first 45 minutes of exercise. If I'm doing less intense exercise, my blood sugar will go down. If I've taken short acting insulin before exercising (for instance if I've gone for a walk after lunch) my blood sugar will drop fairly quickly. It's all very complicated and whilst my intuition is improving, I think I need to analyse the data more formally as well to give me the best chance of optimal blood sugar control, and decrease the probability of bad hypos.
I've created some charts to help me. Here's an example of two runs I did – one half marathon (fast) and one run over two and a half hours which involved a climb of 1200m (slow).
The data collection will continue, and I'm really looking forward to doing more long runs to find out about my insulin and carbohydrate requirements.
*I don't want to make Dr Powrie sound like a killjoy. It was good of him to manage my expectations. I'm very lucky to have found such a good doctor and I have found him very supportive over the past two months.

Cogmed Working Memory Training is a home-based computer program that helps people of all ages with attention problems by training and increasing their working memory capacity. Clinically proven results demonstrate that after training, people improve their ability to concentrate, control impulsive behavior and better utilize complex reasoning skills. In the end, better academic and professional performance can be achieved.
We use working memory every day. It is the ability to keep information in your mind for a short time, focus on a task and remember what to do next. With a working memory deficit, it is difficult to stay focused, ignore distractions, plan next steps, remember instructions, or start and finish tasks. Studies show a deficit in working memory often leads to difficulties in school, especially in reading comprehension and math.
After completing the program, parents and teachers typically report that students have improved social skills, take more initiative, remember instructions and complete assignments more independently. Adults complete the training intervention to improve their professional performance and attentional stamina. Call or email for more information or to schedule a free consultation.
