Working His Way Back Into Shape, Bryan Goebel Tops PBA50 Security Federal Savings Bank Championship Qualifying
by Jerry Schneider | Monday, July 30, 6:36 PM
KOKOMO, Ind. - PBA Hall of Famer Bryan Goebel of Shawnee, Kan., who spent the first half of the year working himself back into shape after abdominal surgery last December, bowled a 1,807 eight-game pinfall total in the second round to emerge as the top qualifier in the PBA50 Security Federal Savings Bank Championship presented by Track Monday at Dave Small's Heritage Lanes.
Goebel finished with a 3,592 overall pinfall total for 16 games to lead qualifying bowling games of 216, 214, 228, 239, 223, 216, 245 and 226 in the second round.
"It was a good round overall but a little frustrating at the same time," the 10-time PBA Tour winner said. "It feels good to be the leader but with a little better (pin) carry I think I could have had a lot more.
"I'm just now feeling like I'm in good playing shape," Goebel added. "It's been a long road but I'm just now finding my way of throwing the ball. During the recovery I lost a lot of muscle so I've been practicing a lot to get that muscle memory back."
The 56-year-old Goebel owns one PBA50 Tour title which came in the 2017 Miller Lite Players Championship.
Finishing just three pins behind Goebel was fellow Hall of Famer Norm Duke of Clermont, Fla., who finished with a 3,589 pinfall. Duke had games of 235, 203, 200, 246, 232, 258, 205 and 213 in his second round.
Michael Haugen Jr. of Phoenix, who has a commanding lead in the PBA50 Player of the Year points race and is the only two-time winner this year, also advanced to the second match play round finishing eighth with a 3,453 pinfall.
Other players advancing to the second match play round were Ryan Shafer, Horseheads, N.Y., 3,575; Jack Jurek, Lackawanna, N.Y., 3,540; Harry Sullins, Chesterfield Twp., Mich., 3,518; Tony Johnson, Canton, Ohio, 3,506, and PBA Hall of Famer Doug Kent, Newark, N.Y., 3,496.
The top 16 players advanced to Tuesday's match play rounds with positions 17-25 and eight PBA60 players advancing to a cashers' round to determine eight additional match play spots. After match play the top five players will be determined for the stepladder finals scheduled for 7 p.m.

Russellville is filled with 27,920 happy, friendly and proud Arkansonians and their loving pets. One of the smaller cities in the state, Russellville is a close-knit community that makes every visitor feel welcome. Russellville has a rich military history; many men served in the state's military forces during the American Civil War and then later transferred to Confederate regiments by 1882.
Your new best friend can be found at the Russellville Animal Shelter. Their motto is "No-kill starts with you". They believe that the euthanizing of healthy and treatable animals is sadly often done for convenience sake. Their shelter does not and will not ever take up this practice. They strive to make their shelter a place of hope, love and community. For the pets staying with them, their shelter is just a pit stop on the way to a forever home. Their mission is this: "To save the lives of companion animals in the Russellville area by promoting adoption, education programs, services, collaboration efforts and advocacy to eliminate the killing of shelter animals."
The government also funds a local shelter/animal control unit. City of Russell - Animal Control rescues strays off of the streets while also enforcing laws that protect animals and keeping the public safe. They offer low-cost adoptions as their main goal is to get animals into loving homes. Also, for those looking to learn, they provide lots of information about pet ownership within the community. Come by and save a pupper today!
It's the "koolest place in town!" You and your pup can hangout outside while enjoying one of a multitude of frozen gelatos and yoghurts, gummies, chocolate confections (just for humans) and retro candies like Razzles or Chicklets. Don't forget to check out the gift shop for "quirky gifts and whatnots" for only the koolest of people. How about the classic "drinking bird", a lava lamp or a milk scented candle? Freddo's is one KOOL place to hang out with your furry little buddy. The staff is friendly (and of course very kool.) For all of those with a sweet tooth, Freddo's is waiting for you!
Since 1992, this day long, pet-friendly community event is filled with fun for the whole family! The event takes place each October in the downtown's famous historic district. Come enjoy a breakfast buffet held by the Knights of Columbus in the morning, and then explore the many events they have planned: arts and craft vendors, games, children's costume contest, live entertainment, pie and cake eating contests, car and truck shows and bike rides. You can even enter your pup in the Canine Capers Dog Talent Show! There are plenty of family-friendly events and lots of great food to feast on throughout the day. Happy Fall, Y'all!
This small-business is very much loved by the locals. You can create your own art on canvas, with Lane's help and instruction of course! Discover the talents you didn't know you had. The best part about this fun activity is that dogs are welcome! Patrons have said that the owner is dedicated to making sure everyone has a fun experience. It's family-friendly, and the staff is professional and encouraging. Classes and workshops are offered at the location on North Arkansas Avenue in Russellville, Arkansas. Try your hand or paw at some pretty fetching art!
After a fun-filled day at the park, check in and relax in the dog-friendly Cabins at Dry Creek. These cabins have wooded views and are complete with cable television, Wi-Fi, 2 queen sized beds, telephone, iron and ironing board, a mini-refrigerator and coffee maker. The cabins are all one floor and have large glass windows and glass doors that open out onto small private porches. Guests also have access to a game room and swimming pool not far from the cabin site. If you bring Fido, proof of current vaccinations will be needed. Relax in your comfortable bed and have sweet dreams of your getaway!

Today's post is two in one. Even though I had the drawing below ready to post, the afternoon turned hectic and I forgot to post it.
Day 2 of Toys and Games month. Day 1 was a vintage toy; today's post is of a character from a video game. No, I don't play #Overwatch but @krattle, someone near and dear to me, does. He tells me that Winston is a super-smart, genetically-engineered gorilla, whose favorite food is peanut butter--straight out of the jar. I just think he's cute.
Day 3 of Toys and Games month. BB55 is a model, kit-bashed by another someone near and dear to me, @profksergeev. Kit-bashing involves taking parts from separate model kits and bashing them together. I see the process as being located somewhere on the toy-game spectrum. Models aren't meant to be played with, but when finished they can look like something one would want to play with, and surely the hunt for various pieces to glue together in order to create something completely different could be considered a game. Kind of like life. That's my analogy and I'm sticking with it.

How do people/champions in Runeterra cope with PTSD (or avoid it, entirely)?
So...essentially, lore consequences. Given that if you look hard enough, there are stories about Iraq/Afghanistan veterans that find it hard to get back into civilian society due to injuries/PTSD/etc.--some commit suicide (quite a few, actually), and of those that do manage to live on that have seen some real stuff, a lot of them have PTSD. Given the background for some champs in LoL, how are they, well, *champs*, and not sleep-deprived-by-way-of-nightmares mental trainwrecks? Here are a couple of--but nowhere near an exhaustive collection of examples: Riven: poster girl for this, seemingly comes closest to all the champs for actually not just shrugging off seeing all her friends (and foes) just gassed and being the sole survivor. In Confessions of a Broken Blade, she even developed amnesia because the events hit her that hard--but *after* that story? The Riven in-game is, what...6 years after that event? It seems she's the one that most heavily displays the consequences of it, though if her redeemed skin is any indication, she overcomes PTSD. How? Irelia: family slaughtered at 14, spends the next 3 years fighting in a war, slaughters Swain's veterans and the guard of the general that killed her family, and said general himself--all at 17. The only consequences she displays is that she throws out a few more zingers here and there in her quotes. How is she not a complete mental train-wreck by this point? Sejuani: considering she's always been raised in brutality, how is she still able to essentially be a female Genghis Khan, when she's led from the front for as long as she has, and then the run in with mutated Volibear, how have her faculties not slipped? Is there some sort of special drug on Runeterra that keeps people that have seen a whole bunch of blood and horror from falling off the rails? How are some of these champs not just able to function, but fight with the best of them?

In case you haven't seen the video , you need to. The video from my understanding is of police responding to a domestic violence call. What ensues , is a white man scurrying around the front entrance of what appears to be his property as police close in. The man after what appears to be a limited attempt to leave the scene, turns to the 2 police officers, the man appears to have no visible weapons and appears to not challenge police physically and stops , stands still and raises his hands indicating surrender. It is at that moment , the man is then shot to death by the police.
I first viewed this video on LIVELEAK , but it has since then been removed. The video at the ABC KSAT web site has been edited also.
second source is GRAPHIC
Cops kill blacks...cops kill whistleblowers..cops kill bi-racial...cops kill Moslems...cops kill whites...COPS KILL YOU
This is the police state that Koch&Co ordered. They do not want anyone interfering with their business....no whistleblower,,,no white activists...no government regulator.
And Koch&CO want to change science...the world is flat, dinasaurs lived with man...life begins at conception....tar sands are good
And forget those pesky constitutional rights people were supposed to have. WE ARE AT WAR !!!!!
So, fight back
I am a non-violent person, so I fight back with words, SOME OF THE NASTIEST WORDS YOU EVER HEARD. I go for the gut...I put 15 corrupt companies out of business and 6 people in jail with my words. A contractor tried to have me thrown off a high school construction job...I gave him a 7,554 item punchlist. Cost him $1.2M to fix
IF you are a violent person, fight back with whatever you have.
Stay in Canada where you are safe and secure.
Don't let cops decide what a crime is. They have no JUDGEMENT...THEY ARE STUPID
72% of the people of Ferguson are criminals??
Cops use the law to punish and CONTROL the people..probably on orders from Koch&Co.
Stay out of domestic violence calls..it's a voluntary crime
Stay out of drug enforcement...it's a victimless crime
Stop traffic enforcement....let some volunteers video transgressors and issue tickets
There, now you can fire 80% of the cops..have them work at Walmart as security guards.

The following verse is
frequently quoted by men, but is misunderstood very much. "Men
are protector of women because God has made them excel over the other,
and because they spend their property on women, so good women are obedient
(to their husband) and guard their modesty. As for whom you fear rebellion,
admonish them, and then banish them from your bed (i.e., do not sleep
with them), or beat them (lightly). If they obey you, then seek not
a way against them, God is ever High and Exalted" (4:34)
Wife abuse is a major social
crime in American society. Close to 4 million women are physically abused
every year by their husbands, ex- husbands, or boyfriends to the extent
of seeking medical attention in emergency rooms according to a 1991
Senate report. Many such abuses are not reported by women for the fear
of divorce or further abuse. About three women die every year from such
abuse. Abuse is not only physical but also sometime sexual (rape), emotional,
or financial.
Unless Muslims guard themselves
to prevent such social crimes, they will become (and are becoming) a
part of our own society, just as divorce has become. Muslim women are
much less likely to report abuse and to whom will they report? to the
male Imam? Do we have a social support agency or should they call non-Muslim
law enforcement agencies and have their bread earners imprisoned? The
mention of "beat them lightly" in the Quran is not for all
women, but only those women who are rebellious (disloyal) and in stages
1) first you warn them; 2) you separate your bed from them; 3) beat
them lightly (with a traditional "toothbrush" or folded handkerchief)
before the final stage; 4) divorce, one of the most hated permissions.
The Prophet himself did not beat any of his wives and told Muslims,
"Do not beat God's hand maidens," and "How could they
beat their women in daytime as slaves and then sleep with them in the
Talking about women's status
in Islam is easy. To give them their due rights in practice is difficult.
The process can begin by giving them
1) equal say in the decision-making process in the home whether it is weaning of infant or education of growing children or financial matters;
2) full opportunity to learn Islam as well as "secular" education so that they can help their children learn since the first school is at home;
3) acquire skills to help the Muslim community whether in education, nursing, or professions in the less male contact areas; and
4) involve them in the operation and decision-making process in Muslim organizations and even in Mosques.
It is unfortunate and contrary to the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) that Muslim women are not encouraged to pray in mosques in Muslim countries.
My advice to married couples
for a happy marriage is no different than the advise given to them by
many counselors.
1. I suggest that both
of them be conscious of their personal appearance and try to remain
attractive to each other. It is not uncommon that women dress and put
on make-up when they go out, but don't do the same when they are inside
to please their husbands. Similarly, when men want their wives to be
very attractive-looking, they should also look at their own appearance
and especially their physical appearance so that they will be pleasing
to their wives. Both of them live in a society in which there are too
many temptations outside the home and, therefore, they should not give
any chance to others to succumb to such temptations.
2. 1 suggest both of them
be companions to each other rather than the role of the boss and the
one who is being bossed or upper-hand or lower- hand. If the two wheels
of a vehicle are of the same diameter, same air pressure, then the car
will go in a straight line, otherwise it will not. So, I suggest they
be each other's friend more than being their bed partner.
3. When they do commit
mistakes or injustice to each other, they should admit it and be forgiven.
They should be gentle in criticism and generous in appreciation. They
should never bring up their past because it is like undoing the dressing
and starting the wound fresh.
4. They should mind their
language. Sometimes we say things which we don't mean but it hurts other
people. As the poet says, "The wounds of blade many heal one day,
but the wounds of tongue never heal." So before we says something,
we should think how these words will affect the other person or if we
are the recipient of those words, how we would feel.
5. They should have a sense
of humor. One woman describes her husband in this way, that many men
had proposed to me and they liked me, but I chose him as my mate for
the rest of my life because he makes me laugh all the time. Life is
too short to be too serious. If we have a smile for each other when
we greet each other and. a word of kindness and of compassion, it has
a lasting effect. Again the poet says, "The sweet words of kindness
and sweet words of love make this world happy like heaven above."
6. Both of them should
share household duties together. It is not fair that women are used
as a cook and as a maid and as a babysitter while men enjoy all outdoor
and outside of the home social activities. The Prophet (PBUH), always
helped his wife in household work and he was an example for us.
7. They should find occasions
to give each other a gift or flowers or candy, whatever a small thing
that may be. This is not a western concept. In fact, the Prophet has
stressed that we should give gifts to each other because "giving
gifts" increases mutual love.
8. Wives should recognize
the economic means of their husbands and should not put any demand on
him that he cannot bear. If they do, he will either refuse or find wrong
means to earn extra income to meet her demands and both of which will
have wrong results.
9. They should be equally
involved in community work and efforts. It is not appropriate that mothers
have to bring children for Sunday school while fathers stay home to
watch football games. If learning Islam is good for children, it is
good for mothers and it is also good for fathers.
10. In matters of sex,
both them should be available to each other without putting an extra
burden on either one. Thus, the Prophet (PBUH), was a very modern man.
He encouraged foreplay. In a Tradition, he has said, "It is not
appropriate that you fall upon your wives like a beast but you must
send a message of love beforehand." Men and women both have physiological
desires. Each should respect the likes and dislikes of each other. We
should respect each others privacy because each of us needs some time,
moments of privacy, to be alone with our body or with our mind.

The Palin money shot
High above the tanneries in Fes. The iconic sight we came to see didnt let us down
A brief update. 750 days after our
in Peru and chilled2thecore are no longer simply Matt and Carla but the new Mr and Mrs Parry.
I won't bore you with the details, this is a travel blog after all, photographic evidence can be found if you
hard enough, but this amazing event did mean one thing. A Honeymoon. The chance to explore. And the chance to travel.
Since returning from our RTW adventure nearly 2 years ago we have been lucky enough to attend two weddings abroad, one in Spain and one in Italy, as well as visit my parents in France. All good trips but our honeymoon would be our first trip away alone and we wanted an adventure into the unknown. So where to go?
Being right back in the rat race meant restrictions on time away from work and after 5 days for the wedding itself we were left with just 10 days.....10 measly days.
Morocco is a 3 hour flight away and we think (because nobody really seems to know or care if it's adopted BST) the exact same time zone as London. I seem to remember my N.B.F. Michael Palin quite
If Topshop did Burkas
Sunset in Essaouira
liked it (he now lives down the road and I managed to accost him in a local bistro) and ever since watching an episode where he visited the ancient city of Fes I have always wanted to go. So with my new Wife's agreement (of course) we reloaded our backpacks, boarded a plane and decided to document what happened, as we did at every stage of our last big adventure, right here on Travelblog.
Fes - Where the streets have no name
If you fancy an easy job, I would suggest air hostess on Royal Air Maroc airlines. OK our flight was half empty and had less passengers than our wedding had guests - most of whom were returning home and had brought their own food onboard - but when I went in search of a butty and a beer I found our 3 flight attendants asleep and a little put out when my forced cough woke them.
By 4pm we had landed, collected our bags and arrived via taxi on the outskirts of the medina. Here our host Didier, a French man who managed our riad, escorted us to Dar Roumana where we freshened up before heading
May the force be with you
Marrakesh deffinately has a star wars feel when you get of the beaten track
out to explore.
Fes is amazing and quite simply the most untouched city we have both ever visited. None of the typical trappings of modern capitalism are found in the medina. No advertising hoards, no working ATM, no chain stores or restaurants, no cars, no mopeds, no neon, not even any street names or road signs exist within the 16km perimeter wall that is home to nearly 400,000 people who call themselves the Fassis.
It is honestly like no other place we have ever been. The narrow streets, community spirit and completely confused layout reminds us of a favela; but it is a safe and religious city and after accepting that as a tourist you stick out like a sore thumb, you quickly grow to trust the locals who prove to be warm and friendly but mostly just polite and willing to help (for a small fee of course).
This lack of pretence means that none of the public spaces are gaudy, spectacular or over the top. The only grandeur is behind the wooden door of the riads which remain private spaces. Even the largest mosques are simple in construction, although most are just windowless rooms covered in prayer
Sunset in Essaouira
The wife takes a stroll
mats and absolutely none are open to tourists or non-practicing muslims.
This is our first experience of a truly Islamic city and with 35 mosques within a stone's throw of our riad the call to prayer from each separate one echoes across the city at 4 set times throughout the day and night. It is an amazing sound, especially at 3.45am and is part haunting melody and part argument in a donkey sanctuary - but however described it only adds to the mysticism of a truly amazing place.
We visit the tanneries, the main attraction, and my main memory from Palin's visit and they don't disappoint. Climbing up onto the rooftops of the surrounding leather sellers you get a bird's eye view of the artist's palette of dyes used to colour the leather that Morocco is famous for. A stubbornness to stick to tradition means that pigeon shit and cow piss are still used, so it absolutely stinks especially in 42° dry desert heat - the sprig of mint they hand you to hold under your nose does absolutely nothing but add a minty edge to the stench - but boy is it worth it for the view.
dayglo at daysend
sunset in Essaouira is a laid back and pretty fashionable time of day, even the burka seems to become a fashion item.
Fact: Getting from A to B In Fes is impossible without getting lost. As far as we can work out only 2 streets have any sort of name and as soon as you turn off one of them into the souqs you're lost within seconds. At this point you can do one of 3 things: 1 - Get pissed off because you are a bloke who a) hates getting lost and b) hates asking for directions, 2 - Just go with it and keep wandering around until you get back to one of the main streets or 3 - Befriend a local 10 year old boy called Haffid who for 50p will get you back to where you want to be. During our 3 days in Fes I try all three and would strongly suggest that options 2 and 3 are the best, and I'm sure the wife would agree.
Our status as honeymooners means we had upgraded to a swanky boutique riad run by Dider, his Kiwi girlfriend Justine, a local boy called Mohammed and tortoise called Eddie. And what a place it is, 5 rooms painstakingly restored with traditional mosaic and wood carving, beautiful lighting and lavish furnishings
Wooly hat time
45 degrees in Fes
- a complete oasis hidden away from the heat and the madness of the medina. Plus it is one of the only places to get a cold beer in a city that 'officially' remains dry.
The Fassi's refusal to give in to the tourist means that restaurant options are limited, but Didier is a trained chef so on our second night he agrees to cook for us in the riad's beautiful candlelit courtyard. He heads off to a local souq to get a chicken slaughtered and grabs whichever ingredients look freshest and produces one of the best meals we have both ever tasted - at least since the local B'sara soup we had enjoyed in the middle of the souq served from a large cauldron stirred with a wooden oar and delivered through a hole in the wall earlier that day.
Other less successful culinary delights included Air Maroc's so called 'chicken' sandwich and a local delicacy called a pastille - basically an Eccles cake filled with shredded meat....mmmmmmmmm
We left Fes feeling equally amazed and bewildered, ready to move on but lucky enough to have experienced such a truly unique place. Next stop Marrakesh.
How to blend into the streets of Essaouira
....or maybe not ?
8 hours on a train upon which the entertainment came mainly from the array of passengers who came and went from our carriage, and we arrived at a swanky station that would put even Euston or Paddington to shame. We expected Marrakesh to be more commercial and even before we left the station we passed a KFC and a McDonalds - although thankfully they looked empty (McTagine anyone?).
Our introduction to Marrakesh was a difficult one - an angry taxi driver who had no idea where he was going ended up dropping us off somewhere near our riad before arranging for 3 menacingly ugly youths to take us the final few minutes on foot (who then sneered when I tipped them an amount that the kids in Fes would have been delighted with - cheeky bastards).
P'tit Habibi riad again proved to be a wonderful barrier to the madness beyond its generic wooden front door. Only 4 rooms, yet another tortoise and an altogether more hip, shabby chic feel with an added touch of Ikea for good measure. A quick freshen up, yet another mint tea (my pee is starting to smell like Wrigley's by now) and
Eddie racing across the mosaic
Tortoise #1 of our trip. It is believed they bring health to the families who own them, although it hasnt been to healthy for Morocco's tortoise population.
off we went to continue our difficult introduction to the city outside. That evening it rained, kids swore at us, taxi drivers got lost (again) then we got lost so had to pay menacingly ugly kids to help us find our way (again). It rained some more and we generally wished we had stayed in Fes......the only advantage was that getting hold of a beer (to calm the nerves) proved to be a whole lot easier....and after sinking a few we headed off to bed feeling a little pissedand travel worn but hopeful for the following day.
It's easy to compare two places when visited one after another; it's also easy to judge one against another, but after waking up to sunshine Marrakesh seemed a much more welcoming place. OK the ancient untouched feel of Fes isn't apparent in most of Marrakesh and cars replace donkeys, sneers replace smiles (most of the time), thousands of satellite dishes, like sunflowers pointing towards the sun, dominate the roof terraces and the wind is more hand dryer than hairdryer. But it's as equally fascinating a place and after getting our bearings, we clearly started to exude much more certainty and confidence and
Reflections of Fes
Deep in the souqs, probably lost again
the locals seemed to read this and backed off looking for the next new arrivals and actually became much more welcoming and jovial. The Moroccans are a deeply religious people, so most are just trying to make a living and not trying to fleece or rob you - and it appears the more trusting and interested in them you are, the more welcoming they are in return.
We end a lovely first day with a terribly, terribly middle class evening with 2 trainee surgeons (plastics and orthopaedics) in one of Marrakesh's trendy but expensive restaurants overlooking the storks that nest in the walls of the medina.....me and the wife are on honeymoon after all.
By the time we are preparing to leave Marrakesh the locals seem much more accepting of our visit, all except one menacingly ugly kid
who remains my nemesis throughout the whole three days (he claims his English isn't very good, but seems to understand the phrase 'little f*cker').
On our last evening we pass through the grounds of the mosque close to our riad, there are a large number of blind folk who live within the grounds due to a donation given to the mosque
Medersa bou inania
The buildings in Fes may not be spectacular but the mosiac even in the toilets makes a great photo. This mosaic is on the internal courtyard of the medersa, which unlike the mosques does let sweaty tourists inside.
years ago specifically for the blind. When we give some money to one of them he takes us over to where the main group sit, get us to join hands and they all sing a blessing to us both. After this we head off to the main square to take in the madness of the food stalls, snake charmers and acrobats who gather after darkness falls.
The banter with the stall holders is hilarious and my lack of hairstyle gives them an easy excuse to grab my attention:
'Bruce Willis, you want food?'
, or
'Oi skinhead'
, but by far for the most original and well researched
Heston Blumenthal, you hungry? We have snail porridge and egg 'n' bacon ice cream for you'
Essaouira (pronounced Essa Weerer apparently)
And relax......take a 3 hour bus journey to a small ancient white washed medina that when compared to Fes not even the wife can get lost in, with a long sweeping beach, cool sea breezes, clear blue skies, wonderful sunsets, quiet candlelit seafood restaurants, the most romantic boutique hotel room we have ever stayed in and you have the perfect location to unwind after 2 very
Tortoise number 2 in Marrakesh
Its amazing how much poo can come out of such a small animal
crazy cities.
Madada Mogadar is a 6 room place with another French manager, another helpful local named Mohammed (but no tortoise)a breakfast terrace overlooking the ocean and a huge colonial style room complete with Bose sound system and a bath tub that could quite easily fit the majority of people staying in the hotel - never mind just me, Carla and a whole load of rose petals (honeymoon don't forget).
We settle immediately and arriving at lunchtime head straight to the port where a few savvy fishermen have set up makeshift places that will BBQ any of the day's catch you fancy at a reasonable price. All very Heath Robinson but fresh sardines, king prawns, octopus and squid hit the spot and set the tone for what proves to be fantastic food throughout our whole stay.
Apparently Essaouira and nearby Diabet are the only places that Hendrix 'holidayed' in his 27 years and he seems to have left behind the 60's bohemian feel which has recently been revived by the French riad and restaurant owners as well as the local dope sellers and patisserie boys (who as well as cream buns sell moon/happy/space cakes).
It's still really Moroccan
Sunset in Essaouira
A great memory from our last night in morocco
but so much more laid back than both Fes and Marrakesh - we get more noise and hassle from the seagulls than the stall holders, who add Fabien Barthez to my list of lookalikes, but who mainly leave us alone to wander along the narrow streets. It really is just the sort of place that you 'saunter' in absolutely no hurry whatsoever and needless to say we both like it almost immediately.
As well as the medina, Essaouira has a beach. And a very long beach at that, which we walk along as far as the tide will allow us on our first day. We make the same walk on Sunday, when the place transforms into something similar to the beaches in Rio. Families flock en masse, teenagers play keepy uppy, the speakers designed to usually make the call to prayer instead (and for some unknown reason) blast out R&B ballads while the local youngsters strut their stuff to Usher and Akon. There's not quite the same level of posing and raciness as in Rio but we do see a couple of fellas holding hands and although the women don't opt for thong bikinis they do a decent line in
Trying to blend in
Head scarf..check. Henna tatoo....check. Trying too hard......check
beachwear burkas.
Come dusk there's a sort of Ibizan feel to the place, mainly as the sunsets are so spectacular and although the booze is still not 'flowing' there are a few terrace bars that seem to have the full box set of 'Cafe del Mar' CD's on loop and if it wasn't for the whiff of mint tea you could almost be on the white isle during the sunset hour.
The whole alcohol thing is strange. For a place that doesn't allow or certainly condone alcohol consumption, Morocco produces its own wine and beer, which are both very nice - although for obvious reasons a tad expensive. We discover in Essaouira a sort of prohibition style Victoria Wines - a much cheaper, hidden away back alley place located behind a non-descript blue door which although we think is legal (its mentioned in our guide) seems a bit nudge, nudge, wink, wink especially when all of your individual purchases are wrapped in newspaper and its staff always seem on edge when taking your money. I find this place quite exciting and make a visit at about 5pm every day so that I can sink a few cold ones at our
Fassi peek-a-boo
riad before we head out to a restaurant where any booze is a good 4 times more expensive and probably even bought from the same place.
During our 5 days by the sea we do very little in the way of activities beyond eating, sleeping, walking, drinking and reading. We do consider visiting a hammam (a sort of local sauna cum wash house) but after realising that men and women have to go at different times throughout the day and remembering Palin's visit where he was slapped around by a half naked, hairy fat local guy - we decided to give it a miss. We do however decide a camel ride along the beach may be worth the effort/cost and on our third (or maybe fourth) day head off in search of camels at the far end of the beach.
We choose our camel man based on his big smile, but mainly because he has the Arabic version of my name.
Majoob then puts us on the back of two camels one called Sultan and the other I am not sure of as every time I ask Majoob its name he replies with a deep throaty noise that I

can't decipher - so let's just call him hungry.
We walk along the beach, across a pretty treacherous river, past a castle made of sand, over some sand dunes, past some ancient ruins before passing through a building site that apparently (and I am guessing in about 300 years) will become a luxury resort and golf course. We eventually, after what seems like hours, make it back to the beach and it's only at this point, after my inner thighs ache so much that they start to spasm that Majoob tells me it's OK to ride side saddle for the last 100m (I am still bow legged writing this). But it was worth it just to see Carla bonding with yet another large, smelly and slightly disobedient animal.
As already mentioned Essaouira has some great restaurants and we decide we will try 4 different places revisiting our favourite on the last night. The winning restaurant is found on the fourth night, called Elizir its run by a local guy who loves his food and spent some time in Italy. Its a really funky place, almost like eating in a Camden retro furniture shop and the Sea Bass is quite
The newly weds
Hanging out in Marrakesh
simply the best looking and tasting fish we have ever eaten. The only reason we don't return on our final night is that asking so many questions about the food and decor the owner seems to think we are some sort of critics and gives us free deserts and asks us to write down the name of the guidebook our review will appear in (we give him the blog address and feel to embarrassed to return the final night)
Back to normality
I sit writing this final paragraph under a warm blue sky waiting for a large blue taxi to collect us and return us to Marrakesh where our flight back to the UK awaits. They say the travel bug gets you and although this is our first taste of travel in any similar format to that which we experienced during our RTW trip (OK we splashed out on accommodation and food but essentially this hasn't been a typical honeymoon) we both feel ready to move on - but if we are honest not to move on back to the UK but to the next unknown location.....Casablanca, the Sahara, Central Africa...etc etc
But this time it's
Sunset in Essaouira
not to be and our new adventure, marriage awaits us back home (Carla is drawing up a marriage mandate as I write!)
Morocco has been fantastic. It's not easy to warm to the Moroccans but after 10 days we both have. They are a proud religious nation, they can be loud, brash and a pain in the arse but they can be equally welcoming, warm and peaceful. Of course some of them are idiots but the majority are not.
But what stands out most is whether rich, poor, young, old, able or disabled they all seem to look out for each other ................. and I like that!!

Brief history of Morocco
In 788, about a century after the Arab conquest of North Africa, successive Moorish dynasties began to rule in Morocco. In the 16th century, the Sa'adi monarchy, particularly under Ahmad AL-MANSUR (1578-1603), repelled foreign invaders and inaugurate...

Regulatory Training for Members and Board Staff
All board members and board staff (administrators, licensing specialists, and attorneys) are eligible to participate. This training provides an in-depth understanding of your role as a regulatory board member or staff person in protecting the consumers of physical therapy services. We also provide an overview of the services FSBPT provides to our members.
Back to Top
In 1996, all FSBPT member jurisdictions adopted the uniform passing score for the NPTE, which is criterion-referenced and is widely accepted as the methodology for establishing performance standards for high-stakes examinations. This was a huge step forward in allowing greater mobility of PTs and PTAs throughout the United States.
However, some states still have requirements that vary for those that tested prior to the universal pass rate. At this time, PTs and PTAs that tested prior to 1996 have more than twenty years of experience and a license history. When a PT tested before 1996 attempts to move and does not meet the jurisdiction's test score requirement, they are unable to become licensed without re-testing. The therapist's continuing education, experience, etc. are not taken into account for licensure and the jurisdiction may lose a qualified licensee and potential tax payer.
Preceding the World Confederation for Physical Therapy Congress this year, the International Network of Physiotherapy Regulatory Authorities (INPTRA®) will be holding its biennial meeting in Geneva, Switzerland. Registration is now open. Visit the INPTRA 2019 conference page to view conference details, including the preliminary program, and to register.
The PT Compact bill, SB1106, has passed both the Senate and the House in Virginia and awaits the governor's action. Governor Ralph Northam has a month after transmission to either veto or sign the bill into law or it becomes law without signature.
The PT Compact has also been introduced this legislative session by five additional states: Arkansas, Georgia, Maryland, Michigan, and Nevada.
In February, Michigan became the eleventh state to opt into the Alternate Approval Process (AAP). Under AAP, when an applicant who is a graduate of a CAPTE accredited program registers for the NPTE, FSBPT will make the candidate eligible to sit for the NPTE provided that the candidate meets all NPTE eligibility requirements. Under AAP, FSBPT also handles the review of all requests for testing accommodations in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Contact FSBPT if your jurisdiction is interested in opting into AAP.
The FSBPT Foreign Educated Standards Committee developed model rules in response to multiple member requests for help drafting rules and to supplement the statutory language of the Model Practice Act (MPA). These rules help to improve the clarity of licensing requirements for foreign educated physical therapists and physical therapist assistants for examination versus applicants by endorsement.
The rules reflect recommendations from FSBPT and follow the MPA. Not all of the requirements are applicable for all boards, examples include jurisprudence examinations, supervised clinical practice, and criminal background checks.
In January, the APTA held its Combined Sections Meeting (CSM) in Washington, DC, which was attended by more than 14,000 physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, and students. In advance of the event, the 335 CSM educational sessions were imported into aPTitude to facilitate finding and recording them. In the coming weeks, FSBPT will verify the attendance for those 14,000 learners in the aPTitude system. Contact us at email@example.com to learn more or to experience how this functionality works for physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, and students.
The website dedicated to the FSBPT Continuing Competence Initiative has a new—but familiar—look. The continuing competence tools and services information (aPTitude, ProCert, oPTion, jurisprudence exams, and Jurisprudence Assessment Modules) have migrated to refreshed pages emulating the design and style of FSBPT.org. The continuing competence content remains easily accessible with a minimal amount of clicks. If you have not visited recently, please explore the new www.continuingcompetence.org.
Almost every state has begun the 2019 legislative session. Would you like to stay in touch with the legislative activity in your state?

In the News
Ohio passed a law that would require the re-evaluation of state licensing boards every six years. The law also gives those with criminal records the ability to learn whether their records would keep them from being licensed in a profession before they invest resources in education and training. "Previously an applicant might go through years of training and spend thousands of dollars only to find out when they apply for a license that their criminal conviction disqualifies them from licensure."
Ryan Nunn of the Bookings Institution has several suggestions for regulatory policymakers.
"Recently-graduated physician assistants who want to work in Illinois must wait months before they can treat patients. The current processing time for Illinois Physician Assistant applications is 8 to 10 weeks, according to the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR). For comparison, licensing officials in Wisconsin said they can process a PA license application in as little as eight days."
The California Board of Registered Nursing is requesting $17 million to expand staff to address significant licensing delays. "The board receives about 35,000 license applications per year. The budget request, which will be up to the Legislature to approve, says delays can make it more difficult for hospitals to meet nurse-to-patient ratios required by law and can drive graduates to work in other states."
"As many as 100 health care workers have lost their license to practice in Florida because they can't repay their student loans – a new crackdown potentially putting hundreds out of work, the I-Team found.
In the latest issue of PT in Motion, Eric Ries examines some of the causes and strategic solutions surrounding burnout among physical therapists and physical therapist assistants and he references a Federation Forum article, "Occupational Burnout in Physical Therapy: Clinical Implications and Strategies for Reduction."
"A bill introduced Monday in the Arizona General Assembly would allow anyone with an occupational license from a different state to automatically qualify for the same license in Arizona without having to retake classes and pass tests again—though they would have to pay a fee to the state board that administers the license, and would have to demonstrate that they were in good standing with the licensing authorities in their previous state. So-called 'universal licensing recognition' would make it easier for licensed workers to move to Arizona and would do away with time-consuming and expensive requirements for license-holders who want to move across state lines."
The Florida Division of Administrative Hearings recently issued a ruling stating that dry needling isn't within the physical therapy scope of practice and the board has no basis for adopting the rule.
In summer 2017, the Florida Board of Physical Therapy issued a declaratory statement proclaiming that dry needling falls within a physical therapist's scope of practice. At the same time, the board also authorized a physical therapist to provide dry needling services in his physical therapy practice. The Board moved forward with dry needling rule promulgation in February 2018 (proposed Florida Administrative Code Rule 64B17-6.008), following the decision that dry needling falls within a physical therapist's scope of practice and outlines the requirements for practicing dry needling.
In response to a request by the Florida State Oriental Medical Association (FSOMA) who oppose the rule, the board held a public hearing on the dry needling rule on May 3, 2018. At this hearing, the Board discussed the concerns of the legal counsel of the Legislative Joint Administrative Procedures Committee (JAPC) regarding whether dry needling should be considered part of the physical therapist's scope of practice and how dry needling and acupuncture are different. In response to JAPC's concerns, the Board amended the proposed rule in standards for hygiene and infection control.
In May 2018, the Florida State Oriental Medical Association, unsatisfied with the results of a public hearing held earlier in the month, filed suit with the Division of Administrative Hearings requesting blockage of the Florida Physical Therapy Board's proposed rule allowing certain physical therapists to practice dry needling. A final hearing was conducted in July 2018 before Judge Lawrence P. Stevenson, Administrative Law Judge. The overall ruling was that the proposed rule regarding dry needling is an "invalid exercise of delegated legislative authority." The judge ruled the Board does not possess the statutory authority to adopt a rule regarding dry needling because the Florida practice act does not support dry needling as being within the scope of licensed physical therapists. This ruling may be appealed pursuant to Florida Statutes; appeals would be governed by the Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure. There is no information at this time if the Florida Board plans to appeal the decision.
The College of Chiropractors of Ontario (CCO) has recently received criticism that the CCO is putting members' interest above those of the public they are charged to protect. Complaints include lax oversight by the regulatory body that allows "false advertising, out-of-scope claims, unethical business and clinical practices [to] continue without consequences."

There are some days when you pretend that things are absolutely fine or you are totally cool & composed when you're not-Well, this Sunday was one such day. I was super-bored for the heavy snow prevented me from going out and the weekend almost seemed like a house-arrest. The good thing was a day ago I procured a book called "I Am a Pencil" from the local library and with nothing else to do decided to read it. The book (a beautiful narrative of adventures of a teacher and his students) was such a nice read for I could correlate so many events there with that of my own ertshile teaching experiences and perhaps thats why I finished the book in 4 hours flat. As I patted myself (finishing a book can be a BIG achievement at times :D) and headed for the kitchen to do preprations for the supper, all of a sudden the conflicting forces (True Self Vs The Other Self) in my mind were at conflict again. It has happened before and believe me it can be really tough at times. Anyways the conversation went like:
True Self: Hey you did a good job-finished a nice book dude!
The Other Self: As if anyone cares...tell me did you make any new friends oflate?
True Self: Ummm yeah, I can write a quick email to Mr. Swope-the author letting him know his book was brilliant ! So there I have a new friend right..What say ?
The Other Self: Aggggghhhhh, weekend means stepping out from home, visiting a mall, watching a movie, hanging out with friends and NOT reading a book-do you get that?
True Self (Justifying): Yeah, I understand but you know there's kinda paucity of friends in this place :( so I am doing what appeals me the most. Whats wrong with that?
The Other Self (Pushing Again): Hey listen, friends don't come knocking at your door, you gotta explore new places, cultivate new hobbies, participate in community events and thats how you meet new people. You gotta do everything except sitting in home in your illusionary perfect world !
True Self (In Defiance): But books give us so much of inspiration and plenty of insights. Besides isn't the very fact that the distinguished authors spend so much of time (usually 2-3 years) putting their experiences down in black and white for the readers awe-inspiring in itself? I bet it is.
The Other Self (Taken a back): I am afraid I won't agree 100% with you on this note. Its authors' job to write. Its like you like writing elegant code and they like writing their musings - simple ! My point is go make friends-you need a few for your own good! Friends can teach you a lot more than books and bestsellers.
True Self (Turned Submissive): Yeahhhh, in this perceived land of opportunities, you get platforms to learn, to perform, to become independent but you are right-making good friends seems a herculian task :(
The Other Self (Elated): Daaaaah! Nothing is "tough" dude. Now would you please step out and go for a brisk walk atleast. I am sure you'll feel better!
You see-this is what happens when you try being a humble human being who is usually happy living in his own world of books, delicacies and internet. Your other self (mine is really ultra crazy and can crush me with ever increasing expectations)never lets you stay quiet and happy. Anyways, orders are orders-I put my amunitions on (2 Jackets, Leather Gloves, Fur Cap, Snow Shoes, Mini-Torch and my ultra heavy key-chain), took a deep breath and marched ahead on the assigned mission. To my utter surprise my so called march lasted for a mere 10 minutes! While walking past my car in the parking lot, I noticed an inquisitive looking lady shoveling snow from the area and I decided to lend a helping hand. And what a wise decision it was !
Within minutes we cleared the lot A space and as we headed for clearing the lot B, my true self reminded me about my goal for the evening (to make a new friend) and I thought it was time to talk. I learned that Stella (think I got her name right;)) is a real estate agent and has been living in New England Area since a decade and she really loves her profession. I too explained her what I do for a living(it was tough though;)) and soon we were talking about Indian/Western cultures, Economy, Financial Crises, latest bestsellers, movie releases and ofcourse the omnipresent snow in New England. She was particularly curious about the Indian Music and Dance Styles and told me that she felt very happy for the Golden Globe Award won by Mozart of Madras recently.Well Mr. Rehman you made all Indians so proud yet again and your speech was truly inspiring as well! We are sure that now Oscars are within reach too!
We (Me and Stella) talked and talked and talked and yet it seemed that we cleared the lot B in minutes (it was well past an hour though;)). As I said goodbye to her saying that I'll keep in touch via email, I asked myself do I want another snow storm soon-well may be Yes (that was my Other Self;) !
But on a serious note I am very happy at having made a new friend whose interests vary from reading to cooking to skiing to dancing! So, Thank-you Mr. The Other Self-sometimes your advice does work;) Besides it reinforces the notion that opportunies in life are plenty-we just gotta have a right focus and a right attitude!

Become excellent at the revealed things. –Ben Stuart
When I have time I'm going to lead a weekly small group of women and talk about about God, our dreams, and pray about things that really matter in our lives.
When I have more money, I'm going to be generous. I'm going to give my money away to people in need, and I'm going to help sponsor kids in third world countries.
When my photography season slows down I'm going to sit down and write that book I've been talking about all year.
When I'm married I'm going to be such an incredible and attentive wife. We're going to do big things, serve others together, and invest into the lives of the next generation.
Do you notice anything in common with all of these statements that have out loud come out of my mouth this last year (multiple times)?
They all focus on the lack of something. The lack of time, finances, a partner. The allusive 'one day when…' then will I do great things, things that matter. Isn't it so easy to talk about the things we'll do one day when? I'm an expert at it.
One of my close friends and I have a 30 minute phone call every Monday morning at 8:30a.m. We go over our business goals for the week, things we want to pray about, and recount the previous week: goals, what we accomplished, prayers answered, things that still need getting done.
This Monday morning we were both exhausted. I was sitting upright in my bed, my knees in my chest, balancing the phone on my shoulder, and writing down notes as Lindsey talked about her past week. She was telling me about a speaker she heard on a panel last Friday, and he said, "become excellent at the revealed things'. She moved on and we talked about other things. But something struck me about it, and I furiously wrote down the quote with a star next to it.
Over the last few days I just can't get the concept out of my head: become excellent at the revealed things. I think there's an invitation in this for me, and for us.
His whole point was that we're so focused on the areas of lack in our lives. The unanswered prayers, the circumstances in our lives that aren't as we hoped they would be. And those things are very real. And unmet desires and longings and provisions are hard things.
But when we pause. Step back, and take an aerial view our lives, there are so many revealed things that we are ignoring because so much attention is going to the unrevealed. The places we're still hoping for.
To make it personal, I can get so focused on the fact that I'm single when I desire so much to be a wife and a mother. This desire of mine is such a good one. It's beautiful, and pure, and I pray for that man to be brought into my life.
But I want to live a life that holds the tension of the now, and the not yet. It's ok to hope and pray boldly for things I long for. I believe I pray to a God who hears, listens, and responds (even when He responds in ways I don't like).
My life is in full swing. We're mid story here folks. The reality is there are things that I can do and be now as a single woman that simply are not feasible when there's someone else in the picture. Now is the time for me to chase my big career dreams, to travel and take last minute trips and be adventurous and spontaneous. Now is the time when I don't have kids and have free time that I can volunteer at my church or for a non profit. If I want to be a generous married person, then I get to practice being a generous person today. A ring on my finger doesn't magically give me good spending habits. I've always wanted to mentor young people with my husband one day. Have people in our home, do life with them. If that's what I want then, then that's what I get to practice now.
Life won't slow down. Ever. For anyone. So I get to create space now to write my book, lead small groups, be generous, write articles that share my heart. If I don't then my life will turn into one big 'one day when', and then I'll get to the end of it not having done or been anything.
I may or may not get married.
I may or not be a millionaire that can fund education for kids all over the world.
I may or not be write a best selling book.
But I am here. And it is now, and I believe there have been a lot of beautiful things already revealed to me (and to you too).
And even if it's just little steps each day, I want to be faithful to the things and to the people that God has already put in my path.
I want to become excellent at the revealed things, and hope and pray and believe for the unrevealed.

13 children found "chained to beds" in shocking case out of Perris, California
Police in Perris, California discovered a truly shocking scene that would be more reminiscent of something from the dark ages on Sunday. 13 children were found being held captive at their home after their 17-year-old sister escaped the house and alerted authorities to their plight. When police entered the home they discovered some of the children had been shackled and chained to beds.
The girl was discovered by police officers after fleeing the house on Muir Wood Road. All of the children have been hospitalized after suffering from mal-nourishment. Some of the people being held at the house were actually adults but were so emaciated that at first Riverside County officers thought they were children. The ages of those involved were believed to have ranged from 2 to 29 years old.
After making the harrowing discovery in the house which was described as "dark and foul-smelling" police arrested David Allen Turpin, 57, and Louise Anna Turpin, 49 on charges of torture and child endangerment. They are being held in custody and the bail has been set at $9 million. The family is not believed to have been well known to neighbours in the local area, with one neighbour saying that the family "kept themselves to themselves." The 2 people being held are believed to have been the children's parents and no motive as to the cruelty has yet been established by investigators.

David will advocate for:
- Substantial increases in budget allocations to social services and community organizations
- Prioritizing hiring mental health first responders and other community based alternatives to policing and incarceration
- Strong safeguards against corporations polluting our city
- Accessible healthcare and healthy food
Our children deserve to live free from fear of all types of violence and to grow up in a healthy, well-resourced environment with accessible services and programs. Communities have a right to reimagine public safety and push back on institutions that cause and perpetuate harm. Everyone in Knoxville has a right to the physical and mental healthcare they need to thrive. Knoxvillians deserve to live in a city that works to build accessible hospitals and healthcare facilities, not close them.
Our communities need robust and full-funded services created by and for Knoxvillians. Police are not an appropriate response to many emergencies and chronic issues in our communities. We need services and first responders that fit our communities' needs and encourage community connectivity, not community division.
Essential programs and services include but are not limited to: youth engagement and mentoring, mental health and addiction recovery, job training and placement, access to low-cost, quality legal representation and medical care, homeless services, mediation and restorative justice processes. City support for nonprofit and community organizations that specialize in these programs and services must be prioritized in the city budget to ensure that our communities are well-resourced, healthy, and safe.

Augusta - President Donald Trump and former president Barack Obama were among those who hailed Tiger Woods on social media after his thrilling and emotional Masters victory on Sunday.
tweeted the US president Trump, who played a round of golf with Woods earlier this year.
former president Obama tweeted.
As Woods went on a charge on the back nine at Augusta National with birdies at 13, 15 and 16 to win by a stroke and claim his 15th major and fifth Masters, social media lit up in a frenzy of congratulations.
tweeted 23-time Grand Slam tennis champion Serena Williams.
Fellow golfers and former greats of the game were also quick to hail Woods' achievement in returning to the summit of the sport after multiple surgeries and a string of off-course problems since his 14th major win at the 2008 US Open.
Just two years ago his back pain was so bad Woods thought he might never play again, let alone win another major.
tweeted four-time major champion Rory McIlroy, who finished in a tie for 21st on Sunday.
added McIlroy after an emotional Woods hugged his mother, children and partner Erica Herman after his winning putt.
Aged 43, Woods became the second-oldest Masters winner, trailing only Jack Nicklaus who won at 46 in 1986.
said Nicklaus on social media.
Woods also set a record for the longest gap between Masters triumphs, the 14 years since his last win in 2005 eclipsing the old mark set by South African Gary Player who won his second Augusta crown in 1961 and his third in 1974.
said South African legend Player.
Other US sports stars were quick to join in.
NBA icon Magic Johnson tweeted.
the New England Patriots' six-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback Tom Brady said.
said three-time NBA champion Stephen Curry.
Woods finally found time to respond to all his well-wishers late on Sunday night.
he posted on his Twitter feed, @TigerWoods, along with a picture of him wearing his newest of five green jackets.

|Re: Tool to generate disclaimer, NOTICE, etc. files

The goal that I'm hoping to realistically attain is to have tooling automatically generate these files, thus alleviating a lot of scut work done by podlings and mentors.
