'Story', a retired, racing greyhound turned service and therapy dog, thought spending Saturday afternoon at the Kutztown Fair, (Kutztown, PA), was a really good MOOOOOVE. 'Story's' racing name was, 'Boc's Top Story', but they don't use the long racing name in the kennel on a daily basis. since she responds to the name, 'Story', we didn't bother to change it when she was adopted. Having walked past most of the livestock pens, all of the animals made a point of sticking their head through the openings i n the pen in attempt to meet Story. She showed no interest until this particular cow showed interest in her.

This week I have been encountering once again the way in which men and boys are faced with the most impossible odds when they come to face the life trauma that is family separation.
I have also, once again, been spending my time digging around in the policy and practice surrounding our separated families and considering the ways in which, simply by virtue of being a man and a father, is to face serious and objective discrimination.
As part of this project I have been conversing with leading thinkers in the field of helping men and boys. In doing so I have been startled by the way in which the narrative about fatherhood after separation, has been shaped by the overpowering but erroneous reality that is portrayed by our discriminatory social policy.
Let me get this straight right from the start. There is an objective, gender biased approach to social policy surrounding the family in the UK. Fathers are, without doubt, being routinely and actively discriminated against when they face family separation. This is not about mad men making themselves out to be hard done by, or bad men manipulating reality to get revenge on women. This is cold hard reality. Social policy in the UK discriminates against fathers after family separation, whilst at the same time, making out that it doesn't and, worse, using smoke and mirrors to point the blame at fathers for their own suffering. That's a triple dose of delusion for separated dads to cope with, the horror of facing family separation, the lack of access to services to support them through family separation and the blame for having caused it in the first place.
An example of how separated fathers are discriminated against can be found in the scrutiny of the Children and Families Bill which is passing through Parliament right now. This bill contains the proposal to change the Children Act 1989, to incorporate a directive that children should have a relationship with both parents after separation. Not because, in the words of Edward Timpson, Minister for Children, the 'government intended to change anything, but because the government wanted to 'make fathers feel that something had changed.'
The cleverly used words, repeated throughout the scrutiny of the Bill, offer an insight into the reality facing fathers. It is not that anyone is going to admit that there is discrimination written into our social policy, the often used tactic instead, is to blame fathers themselves for feeling discriminated against. To shore up this illusion, academics like Liz Trinder Joan Hunt, are used to deploy the smoke and mirrors effect. I notice that Liz has been actively submitting written evidence and Joan Hunt in fact has rushed out a piece of research to demonstrate the fact that there is absolutely no bias against fathers in the family courts, its all down to fathers' perception of bias (again).
I am not one to be satisfied with surface thinking and I have, in recent days, been digging down into the history of our social policy around the family, to understand at a micro level how this was designed to deliver the kind of outcomes we see today.
One of the biggest issues that we face as a society is, in my view, the generational problem of fragile families and the way in which fathers are seen as disposable. As a result of my conversations this week, I was really surprised by the way that the narrative about fatherhood is not only shaped by the historical impact of our social policy, but by the men and fathers who seem to accept the implications of that history. I wanted to understand further, not only what that social policy has done to fatherhood, but what it has done to fathers perceptions of themselves as people with an essential and important role to play in the family. Because if conversations with leaders in the men and boys movement, appear to replicate the assumptions in gender biased and discriminatory social policy, what hope is there for change? Put another way, when the dominant discourse about men as fathers in 2013, is shaped by the social policy that was written by feminists in 1974, what hope do we ever have of creating a society in which fatherhood is celebrated and supported for all of the wonderful things that it brings to our children's lives, in a way that no longer references the definition of acceptable fatherhood espoused by those women?
Lets unpick this a little bit.
There is an advert currently showing which has appealed to many fathers. This ad shows two boys having fun, the reveal being that one of the boys is actually the other's father. The message that accompanies this advert is 'its good to be a dad, its better to be a friend.'
Whilst I absolutely 'get' why so many fathers are delighted to see this ad (makes a real change from mums and shopping), the message that it is perpetuating comes straight out of the feminist approach to reforming masculinity.
There was a time when fathers represented the outside world to children, they brought authority and, in healthy relationships, provided structure and security as well as continuity and consistency. In short fathers were respected and respectable, they were valued for the role that they played in their children's lives.
During the seventies however, when, as Julie Bindel and other feminists of note have said, the family was 'discovered to be a place of oppression, violence and abuse,' with men and fathers being held primarily responsible for this. In the subsequent feminist analysis, that our society is governed by a 'patriarchal system', fathers and the family became a target for radical reform.
This notion, that our society is still inherently oppressive towards women, has been used to justify four decades of social policy around the family which is, today, objectively discriminatory against men, particularly in their role as fathers. This institutionalised acceptance of the notion that 'patriarchy' is somehow a compelling and universal truth, has ensured that not only were our narratives about men shaped by the feminists in the last century, they continue to be so. So much so that even those men who are engaged in trying to find equality in family life, are bewitched by it. Fatherhood is, it seems to me, all about being best mates with your children these days, its all about nurture, its all about being as close to mothering as it is possible to be. Forget the hormones, forget the neuroscience, forget the difference that masculinity brings to family life. To be an acceptable dad now, is to be your child's friend. Not only entrenching the idea that men are boys who never quite grow up properly, but removing also the potential for anything about what makes a man different to a woman or a father different to a mother, to be celebrated.
This eradication of masculinity in all its difference, in both its positive and negative forms is, I would argue, no accident. Starting in 1973, with the change in the divorce laws, and moved on throughout the seventies by a raft of social policy reform enacted in the shadow of the newly defined 'patriarchy' this is a conscious and determined strategy which was encapsulated by Harriet Harman in a report for IPPR called 'The Family Way' in the nineties.
This report, in which Harman and her co-authors said "it cannot be assumed that men are bound to be an asset to family life or that the presence of fathers in families is necessarily a means to social cohesion", built upon the earlier implementation of the Children Act 1989 which was introduced in 1991 with the remit to (amongst other things)
• reinforce the autonomy of families through definition of parental responsibility;
but which also contained the following;
"The rule of law that a father is the natural guardian of his
legitimate child is abolished". – Children Act 1989, Part 2 (4).
Is it becoming clear yet that what happens to fathers after family separation in the UK at least, is the result of gendered policies which were put in place to address social changes occurring some forty years ago?
Or that gendered narratives of what it means to be a 'good' man and by association a 'good' father are managed not by men and fathers themselves, but by the parameters set by a feminist engineered policy framework that was developed in the seventies?
As it is 2013 now, and men are very difference creatures to what they were purported to be back then, lets, for once, step out of that historical feminist framework and look at the world of separated families through another lens.
Let's look at the world without our assumptions, which are shaped by the messages in our social policy and practice and our beliefs about ourselves. Let us, in looking through this lens, for once not assume that the family has separated because the father in the family was violent or abusive. Let us not assume that he was having an affair or that he did not do enough, spend enough, care enough. Let us look at this family without our feminist spectacles, which are coloured by behaviours seen in men and women in 1973, and see two people in 2013, whose relationship has ended and consider what each of them might need to help them through what is such a difficult emotional time.
Let us, as we look through this lens, value, equally, the different things that mothers and fathers bring to their children's lives. Let us consider the ways in which children benefit from relationships with each of their precious parents after separation. And now let us consider the different ways in which our mother and our father are treated in our society which is not infused with some mysterious 'patriarchy' but which is, instead, just a society in which men and women experience different things at different times and different influences shape their different lives.
What would we do differently if we considered each parent to be inherently valuable to their children's well being? What would we deliver differently to support each of these people to give their children the things that are so valuable? How would we speak about these two people? How would we arbitrate between them if they could not agree on how to give their children their equal but different valuable input?
Well I would argue that in this world, through this lens, our social policy would not divide separated parents into carer and provider through a 'gateway' entitlement called Child Benefit which is paid primarily to mothers because of the belief that mothers always spend their money on the family, whilst fathers spend it in the pub. Instead we would support mothers and fathers to make a parenting agreement in which each would assume a portion of the care for their children and then, we would assess their financial capacity to deliver that care. A baseline assumption, about how much it costs to raise a child would be used to define how much state support, each parent would receive. An exchange of funds may become necessary under this approach to ensure that children are not dramatically better off in one household than the other.
Through this lens we would see that children are safe and secure with mothers and fathers and that there is nothing biologically determinant about care that makes mothers better at it than fathers and we would apply, across all of our determinations about post separation parenting, a safeguarding procedure that is based upon the reality of risk to children and not an assumption. In carrying this out we would use the statistical evidence that shows that mothers and fathers can be a risk and we would ensure that we understand, in each individual case, what that risk is.
Through this lens, the post separated family looks like a mother caring for her children for part of the time and a father caring for them for the rest of the time. Through this lens we would value equally the different things that children receive in this arrangement. We would also, however, recognise that children living only with one parent miss out on the experience of two parents in relationship with each other. We would, therefore, ensure that relationship support, both pre and post separation, was made available throughout the land, in ways that were easily accessible to men and women.
And finally, the world through this lens is governed, is by a children act in which the natural guardians of a child are, equally, its mother and its father.
How different does that world seem to the one that separated fathers must currently negotiate? Now, tell me again that there is no bias against fatherhood, its just that fathers think there is. Feminism. It is impossible to do anything inside or outside of the field of the family and social policy, without reference to it. Until it is recognised, named and acknowledged, as the driver of the outcomes that we have seen in the family for the past forty years, we will not be able to move on.
Every time I write about feminism on this blog there is a really big reaction. From the anti-feminists to the pro-feminists, the idea of a world without feminism is a huge talking point. I wrote recently of my recovery from feminism and my understand that this 'ism' had shaped my life negatively, not positively. As I continue to explore the world outside of the dominant feminist discourse, I am finding out just how powerful this 'ism' actually is. From the creation of a non-existent 'patriarchy', to the inculcation of the belief that everything personal has to be political, this belief system has shaped our social policy, our practice around the family, our support to mothers and even the very ability of fathers to conceptualize their role as men. So powerful is this driver of behavior and thought, that I have, in recent months, been accused of being unprofessional for even daring to write about it.
And yet daring to think about it as well as write about it has brought me closer than I have ever come to being able to help the families that I work with. The power of liberation from the strait jacket of the thinking that shaped our social policy in the 1970's has done nothing but expedite my ability to understand the reality facing families and to actively work to assist them.
I was recently very privileged to meet Erin Pizzey and spend time talking with her about the work that she did in the early seventies at the outset of the liberation movement. Her views, which I realise I have increasingly come to embrace, are that second wave feminism hijacked the social policy agenda in the nineteen seventies and prevented assistance being given to both men and women during times of difficulties. And that social policy, which was designed by feminist academics and set within a framework of patriarchy, has dominated our consciousness ever since.
Fathering in the post separation family? I look back at Harman's words and I understand that it is no accident that men struggle. I come forward to the present day and think about fathers as their childrens best friends and I see fatherhood set within the parameters of what is acceptable to women. And a narrative about masculinity which has been shaped by forty years of feminist social policy.
And all of it disposable in a world shaped by women,
When you're a boy.

If Springside School hadn't pulled some athletes up from its JV basketball team for its last few varsity games, the Lions would've had almost as many players out of uniform as ones who dressed for competition. Nevertheless, the injury-riddled franchise held its own in the first half of last Friday's Girls Inter-Ac League contest at Penn Charter, and led the Quakers 22-16 at the intermission.
Charter regrouped at halftime and came back with a vengeance, as senior point guard Aleesha Powell posted 11 of her game-high 15 points during a 16-0 third quarter. Springside rallied, but got no closer than six points in the final frame, and PC pulled away again to win 45-33, reaching a record of 8-1 in the Inter-Ac and 18-3 overall.
"It's unbelievable to me how hard these kids play every single day," Coach Brian Morris said of his Lions, "except we forgot how to play basketball in the third quarter."
Powell's performance for PC was complemented by 10 points from Brianna Butler (four assists), nine from fellow junior Dianna Thomas-Palmer, seven from senior Kendall Stokes, and four from junior Danielle Sienko. Thomas-Palmer was the overall leader on the glass with nine rebounds, including some grabs at key junctures in the second half.
Led by junior Michelle Boggs' 14 points and senior Brenna Coll's 11, Springside also logged four points from junior Alexis Giovinazzo and two apiece from sophomore Gianna Pownall and freshman Julia Schumacher.
The game began as many people expected, with PC zipping to an 8-0 lead as Stokes sank a three-pointer and a free throw. The Lions got on the board with a Boggs lay-up five minutes into the action, then back-to-back buckets by Giovinazzo closed the gap to 8-6 for the end of the quarter.
Butler opened the second round with a successful drive, but the Quakers only hit one more field goal before halftime. For Springside, Boggs nailed three lay-ups and Coll lofted a "three," and at the end Schumacher and Pownall scored from the lane to give the guests a 22-16 advantage at the interlude.
The Quakers had a lot to talk about in the locker room, particularly with representatives from Penn State and Louisville among the college coaches observing the game.
"We were rushing our shots," Butler explained. "When we set up we should've run our plays through and worked for better shots. We also needed to play tougher defense and not let them have easy baskets like they had in the first half."
Powell ignited on offense as the second half got underway, blazing to the hoop for two lay-ups and then knocking down a three-pointer that put PC ahead, 23-22. A free throw by Sienko and a put-back by Thomas-Palmer raised the count to 26-22 with 2:50 remaining in the third quarter.
"Our kids stopped running down the floor," observed Springside's Morris. "We still need to play smarter in some ways, and we made some mistakes with the ball. You're not going to beat a Penn Charter when you don't use your heads and you allow second and third shot opportunities."
Powell continued to be the catalyst as Charter added another six points to its lead in the final 44 seconds of the period. The Iona College recruit stuck a pair of free throws and then stole the ball back, converting off the turnover with 24 ticks to go. Springside lost the handle on the ball once more, and it skittered over midcourt towards the right baseline at the other end. Powell saved it before it went out of bounds, and after a missed shot by the Quakers, Thomas-Palmer was there for the follow at the buzzer, sending the hosts into the concluding stanza with a 32-22 lead.
Applying pressure on the Springside ballhandlers was a key to the turnaround for Penn Charter.
Butler remarked, "That way, we could get our steals, and get out and get our transition going, which is how we usually play."
The score spread out to 35-22 early in the fourth round, then the Lions put together a 9-2 run punctuated by two three-point shots by Coll from opposite sides of the floor. After the score seesawed from 37-31 to 39-33, Charter called time-out with 2:06 on the clock, and the Quakers didn't give up any more points the rest of the way.
Two flawless foul shots completed a six-for-six night at the line for Butler, and the last four PC points came on a lay-up by Thomas Palmer and single free throws by Stokes and Sienko.

The Vietnam War was going strong when the Nixons entered the White House in 1969 so it isn't surprising that Christmas that year was a study in contrasts. Pat Nixon personally supervised an elaborate plan for decorating the White House. For the first time in a quarter century, wreaths were hung in every window. In the Great Hall stood a 19-foot fir tree with ornaments that featured the flowers of the fifty states, such as the ones on our tree. Meanwhile, outside the White House a conflict was waging between those supporting the war and those who were opposed to it. In response to the National Christmas Tree, war protestors set up their own tree and decorated it with soda pop cans and tin foil peace symbols.
Christmas celebrations during the following years were not much better. In 1969, the train bringing the National Tree from South Dakota to Washington was twice derailed and a surprise storm on December 6th that year blew the tree down! In 1972, the Pageant of Peace was embroiled in legal controversy over the use of religious symbols. The nativity scene that had always been part of the pageant was no longer allowed. And in 1973, an air of gloom hung over the White House as the Watergate investigation continued.
Richard Nixon would not spend Christmas of 1974 in the White House. Driven from office that previous August, the only man to have resigned the presidency spent Christmas of 1974 with his family on their estate in San Clemente, California.

High Hopes and Inner Grooves
Album reviews: Bruce Springsteen and The Grip Weeds
By Jon Dawson
New album: High Hopes
Artist: Bruce Springsteen
Label: Columbia
Rating: 2 stars out of 5
Bruce Springsteen finds himself in a dilemma shared by many aging rock musicians. If he tries to do something different, longtime fans will complain that he's not singing about nights on the Jersey shore anymore. On the other hand, if he cranks out a carbon copy of "Spirit In The Night" he'll get slammed for pandering to his audience.
When an artist reaches Springsteen's stature, it's incredibly difficult to just follow the muse no matter what the consequences. After a few decades of slogging it out on the road and in the studio, no one should fault the guy for wanting to hold on to what he and the E Street Band worked so hard to acquire. That being said, the rivers of praise being heaped on the new "High Hopes" album borders on the bizarre.
Springsteen has notched up a few cool points by enlisting Rage Agaisnt The Machine/Audioslave guitarist Tom Morello to play on several of the songs on "High Hopes", but this is not really a new album. This collection consists of reworked originals, cover tunes and material previously issued only on live albums. A cynic may look at the enlistment of Morello as a way of dressing up a hodgepodge of tracks that would otherwise be seen as a collection of leftovers. It's also a way for Springsteen to earn points with a younger demographic. Anyone remember how well Neil Young was served by his association with Pearl Jam a few years ago?
If the songs on "High Hopes" had been included as bonus tracks on a box set, they would probably be more appreciated than they are in the context of a standalone album. On the Tim McConnell-penned title track, Springsteen's growling voice mixes amiably with an updated Bo Diddley beat, but Morello's shrieking guitar juts in like a warning from the Emergency Broadcast System."Harry's Place" is a pulsating keyboard rocker in the Foreigner tradition - which is odd enough - but Morello's guitar work only points out how outdated the rest of this song sounds.
A few songs work, most notably Chris Bailey's "Just Like Fire Would" and "Frankie Fell In Love,� not because they tread more familiar sonic territory but because they're not dipped in awkward drum machines and Tom Morello's air-raid guitar squalls.Separately, Springsteen and Morello are capable of great things, but the pairing of the two doesn't work - at least not on a musical level.
Whoever is being paid to push this album to the press has probably worn out a thesaurus trying to find ways to explain this interesting but unromantic musical marriage.
Classic album: Inner Grooves
Artist: The Grip Weeds
Label: Ground Up
Rating: 5 stars out of 5
When rarities albums are done right - such as The Who's "Odds and Sods" or Bruce Springsteen's "Tracks" - they are sometimes deemed as important as the main albums in an artist's canon. The new Grip Weeds collection "Inner Grooves" is one of those collections.
The Grip Weeds started issuing full albums with 1994's "House Of Vibes", and have gone on to release a total of six highly acclaimed studio LPs and the blistering live set "Speed Of Live". Factoring in additional songs released on various compilations and tunes that for whatever reason weren't released on albums, the Grip Weeds found themselves sitting on a small mountain of unreleased and rare tracks.
For those of you who routinely lurk around the internet looking for rare rock and roll gems, "Inner Grooves" is a welcome respite."Rainy Day #1 & 2" - originally released on the now out of print "Pop 2K" compilation and once performed live by the Grip Weeds on BBC Radio - busts the album in a powerful, uplifting manner. "Nothing Lasts" was originally recorded for the mammoth double album "Strange Change Machine", but it serves as a sterling example of how the Grip Weeds have been able to move forward artistically without losing site of what makes the band special.
While the Grip Weeds have been hailed as a musical powerhouse from their inception, they also whip out the best harmonies of any band working today. The soaring, syrup-free harmonies on the Little Steven-commissioned acoustic version of "Every Minute" update the templates set by the Everly Brothers and Crosby, Stills and Nash. But, just when the Grip Weeds have soothed you into a false sense of serenity, the rare B-side "It'll Never Be Me" sashays in on a groove that could get even the staunchest wallflower out on the dance floor.
Guitarists/vocalists Kristin Pinell and Rick Reil prove themselves to be the most formidable string-bending duo in the business on the surging "In Waking Dreams". There is immense power in Pinell and Reil's guitar work, but also a healthy dose of finesse. Drummer/vocalist Kurt Reil is masterful at playing for the song, with enough air-drum worthy outbursts to make any stick fiend sore by just listening.
Although "Inner Grooves" is a compilation of rarities, there is a cohesion in its presentation. Even with the changes in songwriting and execution that naturally occur, there is a common thread that pulls all of the diverse strands of the Grip Weeds together.

Three days after she lost everything, Judy von Ahlefeldt's newspaper rolled off the presses like it has for the last 53 years.
Nothing stops the Black Forest News. .
Gone was her home of 43 years, her beloved mustang, Monty, and years of research on Black Forest. But the most destructive wildfire in Colorado's history could not take away the Black Forest News and Palmer Divide Pioneer.
Von Ahlefeldt, 70, knows everything about Black Forest. Absolutely everything. She even knew about the fire first.
"I knew about the fire before most people did because one of my friends called me at 2 p.m. telling me she saw smoke," she said. "I went around taking pictures for about an hour and then I went home. When I saw how bad it was blowing up, I started packing up."
Instead of family photos, a work-in-progress dissertation on the Palmer Divide or countless irreplaceable possessions, she took newspaper archives in the two hours she had to pack up her life.
"They can't be replaced, but everybody that lost a house lost those things," she said about the items she left behind.
Von Ahlefeldt is the owner, publisher, reporter, designer, editor, advertising representative, and photographer of the Black Forest News and Palmer Divide Pioneer, a community-based one-woman news organization, informing a few hundred readers each week on the happenings of the forest.
"I do the whole thing myself," she said. "I'm it."
In 1997 von Ahlefeldt purchased the paper from a neighbor who had purchased the paper from another neighbor years before. Since moving to the area in 1970, she has devoted her entire life to Black Forest. She has written a book, a dissertation, and, as you've probably figured, printed thousands of words on newsprint from her homegrown operation.
This week she missed her deadline - by two days. After all, she has to publish every week or she loses her legal status, she said.
When the newspaper came out this week, von Ahlefeldt went around handing out issues for free.
For 25 bucks a year, you can subscribe to the newspaper and receive weekly reports from what she calls an "ecologically and environmentally themed" publication.
Friday's headline? "Tragic Week for Black Forest: Most of forest devastated by extreme wildland fire. Many must hit the reset button and start over."
Now reflecting, von Ahlefeldt is trying to figure out what that button is.
The paper has a long, rich history of covering community news and the Black Forest fire isn't the first wildfire to threaten the 53-year-old institution; in 1965 another blaze almost burnt up the newspaper.
She walked away from the fire with a few personal belongings, an injured horse and a commitment to report the news as she always has before.
"The paper in the early days had sections on many different communities," she said. "It depended on what was going on and who owned the paper. It was always focused on the Black Forest community. It used to have a column called "the grapevine" and it was kind of a friendly gossip column."
For 20 years, it also had a column written by a sheriff's deputy where neighbors could learn who broke what law. Like other fixtures in the newspaper, the column went away.
Another fixture might disappear soon, too.
Looking back on all of her hard work, it might be time to hang up the notepad and pen.
"For the time being, I'm going to keep it going," said von Ahlefeldt. "I don't know for sure what's going to happen. I don't want to see the paper go, but there are things I need time for."
Time to rebuild, to rethink and, eventually, to overcome.
For one, she hopes to republish her book, "Thunder, sun and snow: The history of Colorado's Black Forest."
"These are days no one wanted to happen," she wrote in the latest issue. "Despite the beliefs of people versed in wildland fire, forest and ecology that it was a matter of 'when' and not 'if.' Any way this is viewed, it is a huge tragedy for people, for animals and for the ecosystem as we knew it."
Aside from a brief message to readers, von Ahlefeldt refrained from making herself a part of the story - a saga she thinks is far from over.
As she correctly notes at the end of an editorial, "The rest of the story of this fire must still happen."

Measuring Fats, Oil and Grease (FOG) in Wastewater - Water and Wastewater - Water Treatment
It is estimated that 23-28% of Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs) are due to Fats, Oil and Grease (FOG). With significant growth in the commercial food sector on top of other high FOG producing industries such as metal processors, meat packers, cosmetic manufacturers and industrial laundry establishments, the need for publicly owned treatment plants (POTWs) and industries to regulate and monitor FOG is crucial to public health. Besides clogged sewer lines, high FOG levels also disrupt the effective operation of a wastewater treatment plant. An important feature of any FOG program is locating and monitoring high oil and grease producing industries and food service establishments. InfraCal TOG/TPH Analyzers provide a simplified procedure for FOG analysis based on solvent extraction and infrared absorption which can give the regulator or operator an on-site result in less than 10 minutes.

Welcome back from the three day holiday. I hope that you had a good Memorial Day. We didn't do anything special, just visited our family and hung around the house. Our daughter spent the holiday at her friend's pool which allowed my husband and I to have a "Lost-athon." We caught up on all of the TV episodes of Lost that we haven't watched. That was fun because we never watch three in a row. This weekend was also great because my husband did most of the cooking (yay)!! I am in a rut again with food. I just don't want to try too many different things because I like to feel good so I prefer to eat the foods that I know are safe.
I have been trying this new protein antioxidant drink called Mix1 to see if it will be a good additional source of nutrition. Has anyone heard of this drink or tried it? I have not been fully able to test it yet because in order to know if it is the culprit of any intestinal issues I have to keep everything else a constant. I have to make sure that all other foods that I eat don't cause any problems and not eat anything that may cause doubt as to whether the problems come from the drink or something else. So far, I have not been able to do that since we have been visiting our family pretty frequently and I have ended up eating something new on each occasion.
I have been taking it slow with this drink just because it has 3 grams of fiber in each shake and a lot of green tea (without the caffeine). I have only tried the blueberry vanilla and the mixed berry flavors and both tasted good. But I did get some gas but am not sure if it was from the drink or not. I have had bad experiences with teas but I am being cautiously optimistic since this is green tea without caffeine. These drinks are interesting to me because they have so many nutrients and are lactose, gluten, soy and caffeine free and I get a lot of gas from the Ensure and Boost. I was having some problems with the slim fast also but am not sure if it was really the slim fast or the stress from the hurricane. It is so hard to be sure of what bothers you.
I think this drink could have real potential to save me on travel or when I cannot find anything safe to eat. I just want to make sure that it is safe. So, if you have tried this drink let us know how you have faired.

Snowden says won't return to the US because he can't get a fair trial under current law
WASHINGTON – Former NSA contractor Edward Snowden says there's no way he can come home to a fair trial under current U.S. law.
In an online chat Thursday, Snowden said returning would be the best resolution. But Snowden said he can't return because he wouldn't be allowed to argue at trial that he acted in the public interest when he revealed the National Security Agency's mass surveillance programs. Snowden says Congress should strengthen legal protections to cover all whistle-blowers.
Snowden is living in Russia under temporary asylum. He faces felony U.S. charges of theft of government property and unauthorized release of national defense information and classified intelligence.
The chat was sponsored by a group raising money for his defense, which promoted it as a chance for Snowden to answer the public's questions.
