Episode 79 could it be time to cut back the booze or cut it out completely? with Gemma Acreman

Epiosde 78 - An inspirational fight for survival with Author and Tedx speaker Natalie Queiroz
I recently had the pleasure of being a speaker coach for the incredible author and motivational speaker, Natalie Queiroz. Natalie was eight months pregnant when she was stabbed by her partner in the most vicious attack imaginable. In the space of nine minutes, and in broad daylight, Natalie was stabbed twenty-four times with a carving knife. She suffered horrific wounds to her lungs, liver, stomach and uterus, whilst the knife missed her baby by a margin of two millimeters, before the arteries in her wrists were methodically severed by the hooded attacker she finally realised was her partner and the father of her unborn child. She is still standing and stronger than ever, what an inspiring mojo injection this week. I hope it helps and gives you a mojo injection (stay tuned until the end to remember that there is hope and that faith is always stronger than fear). Jojo x

Affirmative action and the Supreme Court
October 15, 2012 § Leave a comment
As the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Fisher v. University of Texas, there was a lot of talk about the hypothetical minority student who took the seat away from the white student who sued. Here's my story about that student on the Atlantic's website. And my dispatch from the argument itself.

Senator Mike Duffy painted a much different picture of the man to whom he funnelled $65,000 to act as a middleman between his Senate office budget and various people he contracted for services.
Gerald Donohue, who testified two weeks ago at Duffy's criminal trial, appeared as a sometimes confused witness who couldn't recall anything about an extensive research project on aging he said he conducted for Duffy. Drugs he takes for several medical problems may have affected his memory, he said.
Duffy is facing 31 charges of fraud, breach of trust and bribery over his expenses. Eight charges relate to contracts routed through Donohue, including about $30,000 paid to Donohue himself for what Duffy described as writing and editorial services as well as advice on web design and dealing with a changing media environment..
Donohue, a former TV technician, HR manager and union negotiator, earlier told the court he had never written speeches or reports for Duffy, and had no web design technical expertise, although he said he knew what worked and didn't work with his family company's web page.
The RCMP allege Donohue did little or no work for the money he received.
Duffy described Donohue as his "number 1". He'd known Donohue since 1988 when he started working at CJOH, the CTV affiliate in Ottawa, although he said he rarely saw Donohue socially.
Donohoe, he related, would coach him, over late night calls or when Duffy was on his phone in his car, about how to present himself to the Conservative caucus and to former Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
"And Gerry Donohue rehearsed me , 'You say this, he'll say that, he'll say this', back and forth. And I'd rehearse with him on the phone. So we would play act how I was going to get my message across to someone who didn't want to listen. He has a wealth of knowledge about a lot of things and he would provide that context."
Donohue did his work from home because he couldn't get a parking spot near Parliament Hill and his poor health didn't allow him to walk far, Duffy said
He had no political experience other than having been a Liberal riding association in B.C., yet Duffy, who'd hosted a national political talk show for decades, said Donohue became his political and policy adviser.
He counselled Duffy on how to tell Harper E.I. cuts in Atlantic Canada would not go over well.
"In the Harper government the policy started at the top and was pushed down," Duffy told the court. "It wasn't bottom up, it was top down. And there was no room for adjustment, let me just put it that way. Gerry Donohue was my key adviser on how to tell the boss that some of these policies were not only wrong, but more importantly, socially unjust."
Donohue was not only a skilled negotiator, said Duffy, but knew what would go down with "the people in Tim's." His pay worked out to about $30 an hour for 200 hours of work over four years, Duffy said, adding consultants on "Sparks St" are paid $200 an hour and up to $600 for a rush job.
The RCMP accuse Duffy of using Donohue to maintain a slush fund in order to pay out contracts Senate administration wouldn't approve
Earlier Friday, Duffy spent much of his testimony justifying his travel at public expense to five out-of-town funerals.
Duffy said the subsidized travel was legitimate because the deceased were the kind of VIPs whose funerals the Senate allows senators to bill for, or because he conducted Senate business on the days the funerals took place.
He said he did not to travel to Charlottetown at Senate expense on Valentine's Day in 2012 for the purpose of attending his cousin's wake. The trip, he said, was taken so he could participate in a meeting that was part of his Senate business.
The one-day February 14 flight from Ottawa to Charlottetown was to talk with Charlottetown city councillor Cecil Villiard about sewage problems in the city, he said. Duffy said Charlottetown wanted federal cost-sharing to help comply with an Environment Canada order to clean up the city's harbour, plagued by overflows from the wastewater system.
"The city had been very insistent. They really wanted hand-holding," Duffy said, adding he hadn't had time to meet Villiard on the previous weekend on his "routine trip" to P.E.I.
Coincidentally, he did go to Mary McCabe's wake on the same day as the meeting with Villiard, he told Justice Charles Vaillancourt, but it wasn't an event he had to attend because he'd seen his cousin days before she died.
Some criminal charges involve his attendance at funerals. Senate rules say senators may not bill for funerals of friends or relatives. Exceptions are granted for funerals of parliamentarians and dignitaries, or "VIPs".
Duffy also expensed a trip to attend the funeral of Isobel DeBlois; he said he couldn't recall ever meeting her but thought she might be a friend of his mother. She was a descendant of one of the fathers of Confederation and a member of a prominent P.E.I. family, Duffy said, a heritage he thought qualified her as a dignitary.
"I was representing the government of Canada, the Parliament of Canada, the Senate of Canada at the funeral of a distinguished Canadian," he told the court, adding he preferred the word "distinguished" over "VIP."
He described Cliff Stewart, whose funeral in P.E.I. he attended, as a "war hero" and a "superspy", explaining Stewart had been recruited by the British during the Second World War to drop from a plane into enemy territory to gather intelligence. He was known as "the spy from P.E.I."
Duffy added that, on the day of his Stewart's funeral, he had lunch with then-federal Fisheries minister Gail Shea's chief of staff to discuss issues relevant to the Island, meaning that public business as a senator was the purpose of the trip.
On the day he attended the funeral of Robert LeClair, a popular P.E.I. basketball coach whom Duffy said he "knew distantly in high school", he met with a former provincial deputy minister of health who was on loan to ACOA, the Atlantic Canada Opportunity Agency.
For each funeral — including one in Halifax for Jaqueline Doyle, whom Duffy described as the wife of Garth Proud, a former bassist for singer Anne Murray — he told his defence lawyer, Don Bayne, he attended for personal or private reasons.
"Did you believe it (the funerals) to be a valid part of your duties as a senator which would attract Senate resources?" asked Bayne.
"Yes," said Duffy.

"Underdog," the animated TV series, started in October 1964 and ran in syndication until 1973.The floppy eared Beagle crime fighter has become an American pop culture icon.
The show began with a parody of Superman's famous opening. "Look, up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane, it's a frog. A frog?" Then Underdog would say in his wimpy little voice and characteristic rhyming speech "Not bird, nor plane, nor even frog, it's just little 'ole me, Underdog!"
Underdog was the crime fighting alter ego of mild mannered Shoeshine Boy. He was often called into action by his girl friend, TV reporter Sweet Polly Purebred, when there was danger. When she called "Oh where, oh where has my Underdog gone?" Shoeshine Boy would slip into a phone booth and emerge as a champion of truth and justice fighting arch enemies such as Simon Bar Sinister and Riff Raff.
Occasionally Underdog would lose his power (no, not kryptonite or catnip) but he carried an energy pill in a secret compartment of his ring. I'm not sure how his drug usage would play with parents today. Oh, wait, it was probably a Flintstone vitamin. Nevermind.
The super wimpy voice was provided by Wally Cox who played the title role in the TV show "Mr. Peepers" and for years appeared on "Hollywood Squares."
In the early 1940's DC comics sued Fawcett comics saying that Captain Marvel was a rip off of Superman. No such suit was ever brought against Underdog in spite of the similarities.
Dogs can get away with a lot.

I thought I should share it here too, for those of you that don't move around in the digital scrapbook circles. Hopefully you will see the versatility of going digital and how cool it is to create traditional pages from your digital kits and perhaps even change 'Hybrid' from being perceived as a dirty word to a very cool one! ;) tee hee
Here is the article, hope you enjoy the process...
Blurring the boundaries between Digital and Traditional Scrapping:
Step-by-step on creating a hybrid page.
Don't you just love getting value for money? In times like these our economy is not so fantastic so many of us are tightening our belts when it comes to spending money on the little extras. But hey now you don't have to! Why not consider using those digital kits you are secretly hoarding and use them in a traditional scrappy way. This quick tutorial outlines some really simple steps on how to create a fabulous hybrid page that will shine just as brightly as any of your traditional scrapbook pages.
Here is the digi version of 'I love Apples' using the Apple Orchard Kit. I also used the doily stamp as a mask and misted the background using a free splatter brush from DeviantART. Oh and another tip you can find lots of cool public domain images of Butterflies at TheGraphics Fairy. Gotta love that!
Country Fair Picnic Mixed Media
Bad Sewing Stitches by Traci Reed
Print all your embellishments on a 200gsm cardstock.
Ink and crumple the edges of your paper embellishments to grunge them up and make them more vintagy.
Mount your photo's on cardboard, this helps them become more rigid and also adds dimension to your page.
If you don't have a printer or access to one that prints in 12"X12" format you can with a little PS know how crop the digital paper version into quarters and then print each quarter onto a seperate sheet of paper. Carefully cut the printed squares making sure to crop as close to the edge as possible. But as it turns out you can get this very paper here from October Afternoon its a part of the 9to5 Patterned Paper Range
Line each edge up so the repeat pattern matches then tape the underside together to form a 12X12 traditional paper.
Now that all your embellishments are prepared you can begin constructing your page.
There is a great product called Grafix Rub-Onz which enables you to create and print your own customized rub-ons. Go here to see an indepth tutorial I did sometime ago on how to create with this product.
A little bit of machine stitching is lots of fun and adds an extra focal point to any project.
...and here is the finished hybrid page using all the fabulous digital elements and papers from the 'Apple Orchard' kit.
Hope you enjoyed this little scrappy adventure enough to give it a go and if you do you'll also think how fantastic it is that you can get even more use out of your digital kits, who'd have thought that was even possible!
Happy Hybrid creating!

A Spatial Assessment Tool was developed to help identify landscapes within the Goulburn Broken Catchment that are vulnerable to climate change to assist in focusing adaptation. The Tool can also help identify priority landscapes for carbon farming activities (mitigation).
The Tool assists NRM planners to develop scenarios of climate change impact based on spatial data and to incorporate any relevant local knowledge. Criteria can be weighted to assign higher importance to certain criteria over others with specific criteria and/ or criteria weighting able to be changed between scenario runs, providing flexibility to customise inputs (Kelly and Davy 2014).
The Tool is not an end in itself, but instead is a means to help NRM planners and decision-makers to understand their complex planning and decision-making environment. The Tool is not for operational or every-day use, but can be used at strategic points in NRM planning cycles. It can also be updated as new information becomes available. The Tool runs assessments for the whole of the Goulburn Broken Catchment but users can extract subsets of this data and analyse them using GIS.
The Tool's data library contains spatial information that represents the vulnerability and priority assessment criteria. The Tool has the capacity to include additional criteria and associated data. The actual number of criteria and data sets deployed to inform this Plan reflects the available information, difficulty to create or represent criteria spatially and the project budget.

49ers Tennis Team at the Cal NIKE Invitational
2010-09-23 · By Editor
2010 Big West Freshman of the Year Jaklin Alawi and senior Deborah Armstrong lead the 2010-11 Long Beach State women's tennis team into action this week, as the 49ers start the fall season at the Cal NIKE Invitational.
Long Beach State will have seven players in action this weekend as the 49ers start off the season in Berkeley. Sophomore Jaklin Alawi begins the season as the highest-regarded 49er, ranked #100 in the Preseason Singles Rankings by the ITA. Alawi, who earned First-Team All-Big West honors in both singles and doubles in addition to her Freshman of the Year nod, went 21-13 in singles in 2010, including 16-7 in singles while primarily playing at No. 1.
In addition to Alawi, a veteran 49er squad returns every member from the 2009-10 squad that went undefeated during the regular season in Big West play. Senior Deborah Armstrong enters the season with an opportunity to take over a number of Long Beach State career records, most notably the overall wins record and the doubles wins records. Armstrong starts the year fourth all-time in overall wins with 142, and needs just 11 wins to become the all-time leader in doubles wins at Long Beach State.
Also returning for the 49ers are juniors Anais Dallara and Rachel Manasse. Both Dallara and Manasse have won 20 or more singles matches in both campaigns for the 49ers, and anchor the considerable depth for the LBSU lineup.
Junior Julie Luzar and sophomores Anna Jeczmionka and Sarah Cantlayround out the 49ers' that saw action during the year last year, and all three will be competing this weekend in Berkeley.
The 49ers also welcome to the court sophomore Klaudia Malenovska, who after a lost season is now eligible to play in fall tournaments. The highest ranked recruit out of last year's four freshman, the Slovakia native hits the court for the first time this weekend.
While Manasse will be held out in the final stages of recovery from an offseason, the other seven players will be competing in singles play. Malenovska and Alawi will form a new doubles tandem, while the 49ers turn to their pairings that played down the stretch in Big West play in Armstrong/Dallara and Cantlay/Luzar.

I looked up at the clock tower. Shivering I climb into the car, but I know that time is still moving. Next year I will be twenty-three. There is no hope left of having that bitter sweet teen romance. So how long do I have to wait for my first true love?
Is he even in this town?
This country?
This time-line?
Forget all of my posturing about being single and proud. Just like everyone else I want to be loved and to love.
With all my heart.

'Diana pregnant when she died'
The investigation into the death of Diana took a new turn with Mohammed Al Fayed, the father of Dodi Fayed, insisting that Diana was pregnant when she died, reports Vijay Dutt.world Updated: Feb 19, 2008 02:50 IST
The investigation into the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, took a new turn on Monday, with Mohammed Al Fayed, the father of Dodi Fayed, who was killed along with Diana in the car crash in August 1997, insisting that Diana was indeed pregnant when she died. He also claimed she had told him that Prince Charles and Prince Philip — her ex husband and ex father in law, respectively — were trying to eliminate her.
Deposing at the Royal Courts of Justice, where the fresh inquest into Diana's death is being held, Fayed declared: "Diana told me on the telephone she was pregnant. I am the only person she told."
Insisting he would not make allegations, he nonetheless went on to add: "She told me she knew Prince Charles and Prince Philip were trying to get rid of her." He further claimed that French intelligence services had helped their British counterparts carry out Diana's murder.
Fayed maintained that his relationship with the royal family soured once Diana's relationship with his son became known.
After Fayed finished, the coroner, Lord Justice Scott Baker, summed up to the jurors. "It's his belief that a decision was taken to kill both Diana and Dodi. He places Prince Philip at the heart of the conspiracy," he stated. He added, " You will have to listen carefully to the witnesses you hear to see whether there is any evidence to support this assertion."

With the BFTS back in action, PBR.com runs down 35 summer facts about the Top 35 bull riders in the world.
PUEBLO, Colo. – The stretch run to the 2017 PBR Built Ford Tough World Finals begins on Saturday with the Express Employment Professionals Classic, presented by Osage Casino, this weekend in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
With the Built Ford Tough Series returning to action, here is a look at the current Top 35 of the world standings and how each rider's summer went.
1. Eduardo Aparecido
World leader Eduardo Aparecido opted for rest this summer after returning home to Brazil following Last Cowboy Standing in May. Aparecido competed in one PBR Brazil event, going 1-for-2 in Frutal and sustaining a minor injury when he fainted and was stepped on by a bull.
The 27-year-old doesn't expect the injury to be an issue during the second half.
2. Kaique Pacheco
Pacheco returned home to Brazil for a summer slate of PBR Brazil events and went 12-for-20 (60 percent) to cut into Aparecido's hold on the No. 1 ranking.
RELATED: Pacheco stays consistent.
Pacheco, who placed fifth at the Allen, Texas, Real Time Pain Relief Velocity Tour event last weekend, earned only 75 points toward the world standings this summer, 60 of which came from winning the PBR Brazil Touring Pro Division event in Americana with a 90-point ride on Cassununga.
3. Derek Kolbaba
Kolbaba led all PBR riders this summer by earning 430 points toward the world standings. He earned 300 of those points by winning the first PBR Canada International Major in Quebec City, Quebec.
He followed up his Quebec victory by winning night one of the Bismarck, North Dakota, Real Time Pain Relief Velocity Tour event with an 88-point ride on American Gangster and 89 points on BC Circular Insanity.
Kolbaba concluded his summer run 9-for-17 (52.94 percent) in seven PBR-sanctioned events.
4. Jess Lockwood
Lockwood tied with Joao Ricardo Vieira for the most qualified rides (17) during the BFTS summer break. Lockwood went 17-for-28 at PBR-sanctioned events and earned the second-most points toward the world standings (372.5).
RELATED: Lockwood reboots over the summer.
Lockwood won the Binford, North Dakota, Touring Pro Division event and posted six Top-3 finishes as part of his summer run.
5. Chase Outlaw
Outlaw concluded his summer run with his best performance of the Built Ford Tough Series break this past weekend with two victories (Santa Barbara, California, & Livingston, Montana).
The Hamburg, Arkansas, bull rider earned 150 points toward the world standings in the span of three days after earning only 102.5 points through the first two months of the break.
His 252.5 world points this summer helped him leapfrog two-time World Champion J.B. Mauney in the standings.
6. J.B. Mauney
Mauney will miss the remainder of the 2017 season after undergoing reconstructive surgery on his right shoulder (free arm) after getting injured during the Calgary Stampede.
Earlier in the summer, Mauney defeated 2016 World Champion Cooper Davis in a $25,000 head-to-head showdown in Vinita, Oklahoma, by riding Cochise for 91 points.
7. Matt Triplett
After receiving a good luck drawing/letter from 6-year-old fan Harlee Ann Maddox, Triplett used an 86.5-point ride on The Kraken and 85-point ride on Just Juan to win the Big Sky, Montana, Real Time Pain Relief Velocity Tour event. Triplett then sent the belt buckle he earned from winning the event to Maddox.
RELATED: Triplett wins for young fan.
It was one of two summer victories for Triplett, who went 12-for-24 overall and picked up 210 world points.
8. Stormy Wing
Wing competed in very, limited action this summer. The 28-year-old competed in four events and picked up no points toward the world standings. However, Wing did make two noteworthy rides in Big Sky, Montana – 90.5 points on Red Dawn and 90 points on Red Sails In The Sunset.
9. Joao Ricardo Vieira
Vieira tied with Jess Lockwood for the most rides (17) during the BFTS summer break and used five Top-5 finishes to earn 105 points toward the world standings.
The 33-year-old also raised over $37,000 for charity by riding three bonuses bull in Brazil.
10. Cooper Davis
After bulking up with an additional 10 pounds of muscle in the spring, Davis has shifted his workout regimens so that he can drop back down to 145 pounds.
RELATED: Davis feels recharged.
Davis has lost 10 pounds during the summer break to get back to his preferred riding weight of 145 pounds. The third-year pro had packed on 10 pounds of muscle during the spring, but he decided after Last Cowboy Standing to get back to a closer weight that helped him win the 2015 Built Ford Tough World Finals as a rookie and then the world title last year.
Davis competed in only two events this summer – a second-place finish in Allen, Texas, and a fourth-place finish in Big Sky, Montana – and lost in his head-to-head matchup against J.B. Mauney in Vinita. The reigning World Champion was bucked off by Seven Dust in 2 seconds.
11. Mason Lowe
Lowe competed in five summer events, winning the J.W. Hart Challenge in Decatur, Texas, for 80 world points and going 3-for-7.
12. Rubens Barbosa
Barbosa went 3-for-14 in 10 events. The 33-year-old's best performance was a fifth-place finish in Rocksprings, Texas.
13. Cody Teel
Teel extended his lead for PBR Rookie of the Year to 191.67 points by going 12-for-24 in 10 events for 165 world points. The 2012 PRCA champion had a streak of eight consecutive rides in July.
14. Shane Proctor
The 2011 PRCA champion took a hiatus from PBR competition to focus on making a push at qualifying for the 2017 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.
Proctor is currently 18th in the PRCA bull riding standings and is roughly $6,500 from the No. 15 and final qualification spot.
15. Cody Nance
Nance pushed himself into the Top 15 of the world standings by earning 177.5 points in 13 events.
The 2009 Rookie of the Year won the first night of the Rocksprings, Texas, Touring Pro Division event and had seven Top-5 finishes.
Nance went 13-for-26 (50 percent) during his summer run.
16. Claudio Montanha Jr.
Montanha went 13-for-21 (61.9 percent) in six PBR Brazil events, but only picked up 50 world points. The rookie's best finish came at the Americana PBR Brazil TPD when he placed second.
17. Marco Eguchi
Instead of returning home to Brazil, Eguchi opted to stay in the U.S. and competed sparingly. Eguchi went 0-for-7 in six events.
Eguchi also invited his parents to visit him in Texas for three weeks earlier this summer.
18. Fabiano Vieira
Vieira had one of the stronger summer runs (295 world points) since beginning the break with a second-place finish at the PBR Canada Major in Quebec City.
REALTED: Vieira stays tough over summer.
Vieira finished the summer 13-for-22 (59.09 percent) with a victory at the Calgary Touring Pro Division event and six Top-5 finishes.
19. Silvano Alves
Three-time World Champion Silvano Alves headed home and competed in five PBR Brazil events before hosting his first Velocity Tour event stateside in Allen, Texas, last weekend.
Alves went 14-for-21 (66.66 percent), but only earned world points in one event with a fifth-place finish (12.5 points) in Divinopolis.
20. Dener Barbosa
The 2016 PBR Brazil champion finished in the Top 10 at three of the four PBR Brazil events he competed in. Barbosa rode 13 of the 16 bulls he attempted.
21. Guilherme Marchi
The 2008 World Champion was 11-for-15 (73.33 percent) in five PBR Brazil events this summer. Marchi's best finish was a second-place showing at the Americana qualifying event for Brazil's Iron Cowboy competition.
22. Ryan Dirteater
The 2016 PBR World Finals event winner competed in only three summer events. Dirteater went 5-for-6 at the prestigious Calgary Stampede in his last competition.
Dirteater also held his annual Roping for Wishes team roping competition Friday night in Tulsa.
23. Luciano de Castro
The 2015 PBR Brazil champion was 7-for-8 in three PBR Brazil events before he injured his groin in early July. Castro has since informed PBR.com his groin injury has healed with a month off.
24. Stetson Lawrence
Lawrence returned to competition on July 21 after fracturing his pelvis in Tacoma, Washington. The 28-year-old was 2-for-10, but he did finish in second-place in Livingston, Montana, last weekend with an 86.5-point ride on Sully.
25. Mike Lee
The 2004 World Champion has normally been the pillar for summer success, but this year Lee was only 11-for-33 (33.33 percent) in 12 events with two third-place finishes.
It is the first summer in six seasons that Lee has failed to win at least one TPD or Velocity Tour event.
Lee, who had to miss the last month of the BFTS first half because of a left elbow dislocation, also made the trip to Brazil for the two PBR Brazil events in Americana.
26. Gage Gay
Gay began his summer with an impressive 3-for-3 victory at the Deadwood, South Dakota, Velocity Tour event.
Gay rode Americana (88.5 points), Tequila Sunrise (86 points) and Redbone (85.5 points) to earn the victory and 80 of the 115 world points he earned this summer.
The 23-year-old was 8-for-14 (57.14 percent) in six events.
27. Brennon Eldred
Eldred pushed himself farther into the Top 35 with two of the best rides of the summer break – 91 points on Cooper Tires Brown Sugar and 90.5 points on Deep Water – during his first and third-place performances in Bismarck, North Dakota.
The rookie ended the first half ranked 35th in the world standings, but his two 90-point rides in 24 hours changed that.
Eldred then went 4-for-5 at the Calgary Stampede.
28. Troy Wilkinson
Wilkinson rallied for the 2017 PBR Australia title by getting hot at the last minute and catching some lucky breaks along the way.
After returning to Australia on May 20, Wilkinson went 10-for-20, including 2-for-3 at the PBR Australia National Finals, to finish a tight 50.83 points ahead of Aaron Kleier.
29. Koal Livingston
Livingston continues to try and ride through an unstable left shoulder (free arm) as he makes a push at qualifying for his first career World Finals.
The 19-year-old went 5-for-15 (33.33 percent) in 11 events. Livingston's best finish was a second-place showing in Rocksprings, Texas.
30. Dakota Buttar
The injury black cloud that has hung over Buttar during the first half carried over into the summer.
Buttar returned from a hyperextended elbow he sustained in April in Tacoma, Washington, for a month of the summer run before he punctured his lung on the first day of the 2017 Calgary Stampede in July attempting to ride Wyoming Storm.
The two-time Canadian Pro Rodeo Association champion then decided to take the rest of the summer off to heal up.
31. Ramon de Lima
Lima is inside the Top 35 of the standings after winning the Sterling, Colorado, Touring Pro Division event on Tuesday with an 88.5-point ride on Jaynette's Pet 2.
However, Lima is not competing in Tulsa because the draw was officially set by the PBR competition department prior to his victory vaulting him into the Top 35.
Sterling was Lima's second Touring Pro Division event win of the summer and helped him finish the summer with 205 points toward the world standings.
Lima went 16-for-29 (55.17 percent) in 15 PBR-sanctioned events in the United States.
32. Cody Rodeo Tyler
Tyler was able to maintain his Top-35 ranking this summer courtesy of a victory at the Touring Pro Division event in Thief River Falls, Minnesota.
The rookie went 2-for-2 with rides aboard Beernuts (87.5 points) and Pile Driver (86 points) in his first event with a Brazilian-style bull rope.
Tyler had decided to switch up his bull rope after dealing with a hand injury during the spring.
The 22-year-old is 5-for-13 (38.46 percent) since making the switch and added that he still has some work to do to get comfortable with the rope. He was previously riding at a 31.14-percent clip.
33. J.W. Harris
Four-time PRCA champion J.W. Harris was in jeopardy of being cut from the BFTS this summer before he headed to Australia in July.
Harris went 3-for-3 at PBR Australia's Last Cowboy Standing event to earn 80 points toward the world standings and maintain his Top 35 ranking.
The 31-year-old competed at only three other PBR events worldwide, going 0-for-5.
34. Emilio Resende
Emilio Resende dropped two spots in the world standings after competing in only three PBR Brazil summer events.
Resende went 2-for-4 and had a third-place finish at the PBR Brazil Iron Cowboy qualifying event in Americana.
35. Brady Sims
Sims has continued to rehab after undergoing surgery in April for a broken leg. The 23-year-old said on Friday night his recovery is going well, but that there still isn't a clear timetable of when doctor's will give him the all-clear to return to bull riding this year.
Sims is still holding out hope he can return in time to try and qualify for the World Finals.

I'm so excited about my newest novella, Cross and the Cap. Writing this story has been nothing but fun, and I really think that will translate to you as you read her first adventure. You can check out the Amazon listing here: Amazon.com/dp/B071HRWK3V
I like to think of Cross's stories as being similar in tone to Deadpool (violent, irreverent fun) taking place in the WotA-Modern setting. Cross is foul-mouthed and vain, but possesses incredible power in the form of her trusty magick-shooting guns. She also has this annoying ability of being able to hear the narrator, and she doesn't exactly approve of everything he has to say either.
The WotA-Modern setting is basically our world with all the magicks, physics, creatures, and backstory of the WotA universe. You won't be meeting Val or any of his friends from the WotA-Main setting The Throne of Ao takes place in, but you will see creatures like laorcs, trolls, and fey exactly like how they are in WotA-Main.
During this timeline, magick has been sealed, placing an impermeable Veil in place between our universe and the font of magick. Experienced magickers are able to "reach around" the Veil and access magick, but this is much more difficult than you might think, and leaves humans (whom rarely manifest magick naturally) at an even bigger disadvantage.
Enter Cross and her .50 caliber magick. By putting all of her effort into loading custom shells with magick, she is unrestrained by the Veil so long her ammunition lasts.
A pre-order is going on right now, and the ebooks should be delivered around midnight PDT on Friday, May 19th. It's listed at my usual novella price of $2.99.
I can't emphasize enough how much more your sale counts as a pre-order. One of the most important aspects of Amazon's ranking system is velocity and all of your pre-order sales are tallied up upon release, making books shoot through the stratosphere of Amazon's rankings with enough pre-sales. The book is also part of the Kindle Unlimited program, so if you subscribe to Kindle Unlimited, please consider reading Cross and the Cap. Note that if you do have that subscription, it only counts for authors if you actually read the book. If you don't read it, our sales rank doesn't improve and we don't get paid.
Cross and the Cap does have explicit content and is not appropriate for children. If that scares you off, I completely understand. If you do end up liking the story, please consider leaving a review on Amazon. Cross and the Cap is meant to be an introduction to Vera Cross and her life, and I'm looking forward to writing her next adventure soon.
Thank you for your support,

Moving up from primary to secondary school is an exciting and significant event in a child's life. It is an important milestone which, for many parents and teachers, marks a change in expectations regarding crucial life-skills such as self-organisation and independent working.
Here at Parkside Academy, we understand that this is a challenging time and do our best to support pupils and their parents through the transition process:
- Your child's new Year Leader will visit their primary school and spend time getting to know your child; this may take the form of a meeting with the Year 6 teacher, a transition session for the pupils and/or small group sessions.
- Pupils will visit Parkside with the rest of their class from Primary school on Induction Day. Induction Day gives pupils the opportunity to get to know our school buildings and meet some of the key staff in school. Perhaps most importantly of all, your child will meet their form tutor and the rest of their tutor group.
- Currently, we run evening transition sessions for parents. These are designed to, hopefully, give parents greater peace of mind about the transition phase: 'Getting to know your school', 'Supporting your child's learning at Parkside' and 'Being Safe at Parkside'. These sessions are an opportunity to meet other parents in a relaxed and informal way, meet key members of staff face to face, familiarise yourselves with the school setting and find out who is available to support you and your child.
If you have and questions or queries about the transition process, please do get in touch.

Tokyo — Japanese shipbuilders received export orders for a total 1.53 million gross tons across 21 vessels in August, up 100.2% year on year and surging 161.8% from July, and posting the first year-on-year rise since May, Japan Ship Exporters Association data released Thursday showed.

A JSEA official said the increase may be the start of a rush of orders in the lead-up to the International Maritime Organization's requirements to use lower sulfur fuel from January 2020.
He also noted that while the volume of new orders received in August rose, backlog orders held by shipbuilders at end August fell. "Shipbuilders won't be able to lift their production speed soon, so lower steel consumption by shipbuilders will continue," he said.
Backlog orders for vessel exports held by Japanese shipbuilders stood at 28.08 million gross tons across 502 vessels at end August, down 5% on year.
A Tokyo-based trader said he heard Japanese shipbuilders were currently receiving more inquiries from overseas customers. "We are sure customers are also comparing quotes from shipbuilders in South Korea and China, but we hope they would be attracted to Japanese technologies to correspond to new regulations, and order Japanese vessels," he said.
Ordinary carbon steel orders booked by Japanese shipbuilders totaled 281,000 mt in June, down 8.4% on year and down 4.8% from May, according to latest data from the Japan Iron & Steel Federation.

The one day, policy-focused event, held at The Square in Brussels (the venue is literally a square glass box in the heart of Brussels), centered around the questions:
"How can we create the conditions to allow science and technology to flourish? What social, economic and environmental challenges must we overcome? Who is responsible for driving the European science base forward?"
Attendees, mainly but not exclusively from Europe, represented universities, research institutes, intergovernmental organizations, policy boards and industry.
At the EGEE booth a surprising number of people hadn't heard of grid computing before and were amazed to hear about the extent of the project.
"And it works or it's just an idea?" one booth visitor asked. "It works! It works and is used by thousands of people every day," we replied.
To give delegates a deeper introduction, EGEE's Rosette Vandenbroucke, coordinator of BEgrid, the Belgian Grid for Research, gave a masterclass, garnering a lot of attention and questions.
At the day's closing session panelists from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, CERN, the International Council for Science, the European Society for Human Reproduction and Embryology, the Science Policy Working group of EUROSCIENCE and the European Research Area Board gave their thoughts on ways to help science and technology in Europe, inviting comments from the audience.
The discussion brought up issues such as funding flexibility, cross-border competition and collaboration, free movement of people and ideas, risk-taking, public outreach, early science training for students and media-training for scientists (a subject near and dear to this bloggers heart!).
One of the more interesting ideas put forth drew heavily on the US Man to the Moon mission. In 1961 US President John F. Kennedy announced his support for a manned moon landing when addressing Congress:
" ... I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth. No single space project in this period will be more impressive to mankind, or more important in the long-range exploration of space; and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish."This startling ambitious goal galvanized the research community and created the conditions ripe for innovation. Not only did the US achieve its goal, but the entire economy benefited as well.
Could the launch of a similarly lofty mission – perhaps a zero-carbon economy? – benefit Europe and the world at large? Time is running out to adjust the human contribution to climate change.
"We are at a critical time," said Chairman John Wood in his closing remarks. "If we don't do something now future generations will judge us very harshly. We all have to do something. Science and technology are – not the whole, but part of – the solution!"

Basketball, Startups, and Life
When you watch the San Antonio Spurs (or the Atlanta Hawks this season), you get a sense of a system at work on the court. There is chaos, the players are moving and cutting all over the place, and then a pass is made to the open man and an uncontested layup results. It's like magic.
My partner Andy wrote a post about chaos and startups a few days ago that briefly touches on basketball. He talks about the Zen Master Phil Jackson:
Phil Jackson believed this too. He wrote "the road to freedom is a beautiful system." The winningest coach in NBA history believed that his success was developing a framework for his players to guide the dozens and dozens of decisions that they have to make each game, each play. He actually believed then, that his job as a coach during games was just to watch. If he had helped the team develop the right framework, then his role would at its optimum – at decision-making time – simply to sit back and let them process.
Andy's point is that those advising and investing in startups should do the same – help the startup team develop a framework for making decisions and then sit back and watch them do it.
One thing I know for sure is that those who advise and invest in startups cannot and should not meddle in the day to day decision making. It's harmful and hurtful to the startup and those that lead it. So operating at a higher level, helping to set the framework for decision making and then sitting down and watching the game be played, is certainly the way to go. Of course that doesn't mean abdicating the responsibility to have the right team on the court at the right time. Coaches do that and advisors and investors should too.

When I began this healthy hair transition some 11 months ago, I planned for a long LONG term transition. I'd seen vloggers who still had their straight ends, even with like 12-15 inches of curls! Sure, I thought, I'll just grow new hair and keep the old, too. Nbd.
But the more bloggers and vloggers I read and watched, the more I noticed a recurring theme: mid-transition-chopping. That won't happen to me, though. Right? Wrong.
I've been trimming the straight ends on a monthly basis, a very small amount to preserve what wee length I do have. Last month, though, something changed. So much of my new curls had grown in that I could actually go a few more days before resetting my twist-out. When that happened, when the curls were allowed to roam freely amongst the satin pillow, they started to morph from twist-out curls to their own pattern. This whole time I haven't been focusing much on my curl pattern because all the advice I'd taken in from Youtube heroes said 1) Beware curl envy and 2) You won't know what your curl pattern truly looks like until the straight ends are gone. So, as it began to peek through for the first time I had to face the facts, you guys.
Cute cute cute! Spirally, tiny, happy curlies! They look a lot like Mama Sunshine's but are thicker (and a bit more prone to shrinkage, I think). CUTE-cute…until you get to the ends where they would deaden into a jagged, ugly straightness.
Until I couldn't take it anymore.
Riddle me this: why, when you tell people you cut your own hair, is it assumed that you've undergone some sort of trauma? Can't reasonable, responsible people snip their own tresses sometimes? When I find a reasonable, responsible person I'll ask, but me, I handled it. And all that Youtube advice was right. My curls were cute with the straight ends weighing them down, but once I cut those off, things changed. It looked shorter than short without the extra weight.
Guess how many fucks were given. Guess! That's right, folks. Zero fucks given.
Here we are, almost a year later, and my healthy hair journey is zipping right along.
The hair in the photo above is a 5 day old twist-out that was rubbed down using the loc method and shrunk to its heart's content. Is it better to be lazy? No. Is it better to be able to make lazy look good. Yassssss.
Booyah, baby!

7-14 dni
A clothes dryer stand made from solid sycamore, with 12
drying cords in the colour you choose. An indispensable item in every
household, which is also pleasing to the eye. Simple to operate and stable.
Once folded, it takes up as little space as an ironing board. With a tension
cord mounted vertically, you can be sure that the dryer will not fold inward,
even with heavy wet things placed on it.
The frame is bolted together with metal screws, which are hidden under wooden plugs.
Cords are made of polypropylene, so they will not discolour your clothes and
will not stretch.
This is a flagship product of Woody Woody, simultaneously functional and an
expression of Scandinavian aesthetics. The dryer stand name reflects the co-designer's
love for numbers and her habit of counting everything in sight, including the dryer's
carrying capacity. "156" stands for the number of socks that the dryer stand can
Dryer stand dimensions when unfolded: 93cm high, 114 cm wide, 72 cm wide
Dryer stand dimensions when folded: 142 cm wide, 9 cm wide, 72 cm wide
Total length of the cord is: 12.5 m

ABOUT: Cultures of Resilience (CoR) are the interwoven narratives, ideas, things and performances that, together, create the cultural fabric of an emerging sensibility: a resilient network capable of navigating the turbulence of our times. Art and Design practices have the potential to catalyse creative assemblies, to contribute to environmental stewardship and social renewal.
EVENT: CoR Exchange is a cross-University of the Arts London (UAL) event that will take place from the 23 to 28 of March 2015 . It's a component of a two year initiative instigated by Chair Ezio Manzini, the aim of which is to enhance the UAL's contribution to a more resilient and sustainable society.
STRUCTURE: The CoR Exchange is where various research clusters present, perform and share their ongoing research. The Exchange space will evolve as micro-events, temporary exhibitions, performances, discussion or short workshops leave various traces that accumulate into an evolving exhibition and archive.
PROGRAMME: For the CoR Exchange an insurgent group of researchers that I am part of, are planning to organise a live tracing workshop.
We have enabled the values of competitive markets to dominate contemporary cultural production, we inhabit a mono-culture of evaluation, and this is not resilient. Taking our model from resilient ecosystems - where bio-diversity is essential for their reproduction- we intend to explore different, varied, evaluative communities.
For the week long festival, we will begin a mapping/tracing for the Anthropocene Atlas: London (TAAL). We will tease out and trace the Universities financial entanglements, resilient organisations and communities, our aspirations, allotments, the Universities energy use and providers, environmental NGO's, networks of empathy, and much else besides.
These tracings will enable us to visualise evaluative networks, and assess their resilience.
We will run a live mapping/tracing workshop, to research in-real-time, and share the results of that research on Tuesday 24th March, 10am -1pm.
See some images of the event or the souvenir pamphlet
We are inspired by counter cartographies and the project is related to Tracing Values and Geneva Exchange
