Saturday 18th April from 3pm
If you blinked at Easter then you missed out on our first delivery of CANimals from Modus Operandi Brewing from Mona Vale Sydney. What is a CANimal? A CANimal is a 946ml can that is filled & sealed directly from the source at the Brewery. It's a bit like a one use squealer that is recycled rather than refilled. We were lucky enough to get our hands their Former Tenant Red IPA & the Zoo Feeder IPA. Judging by the rate they walked out the door, you Crafty Folk were quite keen to try their beers. We were to and they were both sensational beers. Now the good news is we have another batch hopefully arriving TODAY! This time around it will be their Mona Pale Ale & some more of the Former Tenant Red IPA.
Our friends at the Stratch are hosting the Modus Operandi crew today featuring the MO beers on their taps tonight. And tomorrow April Grant from MO Brewing will be paying us a flying visit from 3pm to crack open a few CANimals and have a chat about their beers. Don't miss out on getting your hands on these award winning beers this time around.

Our Story
Our Story
SnoWhat became a dream for Jessica Bledsoe and April Boyd in 2010 after Jessica returned from living briefly just outside of New Orleans, where she was introduced to the soft, fluffy ice of a snoball. Knowing that she had to bring this sweet treat back to Louisville with her, she teamed up with her best friend, April, and they spent the next four years planning, saving, and dreaming. Their friend Kayla Allinger joined them in late 2014 and in April 2015, SnoWhat served its first snoball from a tent at The Flea off Market.
Today, you can find SnoWhat slinging snoballs from their food truck, Dolly, or at their store front located near the Louisville Zoo. SnoWhat supports Buy Local by purchasing their produce and herbs from local vendors or growing it themselves. They often team up with other local businesses to create custom flavors using their ingredients or by capturing the essence of their business. But don't worry—SnoWhat still carries several of the classic flavors you remember from childhood too! (Tigers Blood, anyone?)

Maskam Guest Farm – AncareneWouter von Gruning, South Africa23 March 2012
Sincere thanks and gratitude go to Ancarene for our very pleasant stay at Maskam Guest Farm during March 2012. The friendly reception by Whisky, the Sheepdog, the neat and well-kept Berggans cottage, and your recommendations of activities to do and places to visit was highly appreciated. Highlights during our stay include the beautiful mountain views, the starry night sky, and the absolute silence, driving the Gifberg pass, and exploring the Maskam 4X4 route on foot. Our self catering cottage was well equipped and meals and braaiwood could be arranged if required. Your effort in establishing the Maskam cottages and your passion for creating such a nice oasis in this region is truly appreciated. It is the perfect staging point for exploring this beautiful area even outside of the flower season. We will definitely recommend Maskam Guest Farm to our friends.

Originally published October 10, 2009 at 12:00a.m., updated October 10, 2009 at 10:38a.m.
The placekicker was talking about tackling.
This was Tuesday, an overcast afternoon, inside the Kansas University football complex. It was a rather odd scene, truth be told, this waif of a young man — at 5-foot-10 and 180 pounds, Jacob Branstetter is built like a very sturdy computer programmer — discussing big hits and wrapping up and the joy he derives from carrying out such acts.
At the same time, it is a subject in which the fourth-year junior, thanks to his violent and perpetual habit of darting downfield after kickoffs to hurl himself at opposing return men ("He's like a little heat-seeking missile," marvels one teammate), has become greatly adept.
In 2008, for instance, his first season as the team's starting kicker, Branstetter finished with seven tackles, one more than defensive end John Larson — a part-time starter — and two more than one of this year's surprises at the position, Jeff Wheeler. The list of players who've been on the wrong end of a Branstetter hit, meanwhile, is impressive. Jeremy Maclin, the former Missouri All-American and current Philadelphia Eagles receiver, has felt his pain. Same for flashy and talkative former Kansas State return man Deon Murphy.
Not surprisingly, this penchant for physicality has turned Branstetter into a bit of a novelty around Lawrence. Fans love him. A kicker who plays like a linebacker? That ranks right up there with the quarterback who runs around pumping his fist and thrusting his hips. His coach — when he's not imploring the player to play with some semblance of restraint — seems pretty tickled, too.
"What was it, 'Underdog' — 'Here I am to save the day?" Mark Mangino joked the other day of his kicker's considerable bravado.
About the only person who doesn't seem to find anything exceptional about the whole thing, in fact, is Branstetter. Ask him about his physical nature, he shrugs. Ask him about the fire with which he plays, another shrug. That's how he always has played, he'll say. Fast and furious, emotional, heart right out there on his sleeve.
"Some people say, 'Don't show your emotions, don't cry, don't yell, don't scream, don't get excited," he says. "That's not me."
And it is about this time that it occurs to you that maybe — like a poodle that grows to believe it's a rottweiler because it never has had any reason to believe otherwise — nobody has ever bothered to tell Jacob Branstetter that his job is merely to kick footballs.
• • •
No, sir. Not Gerald Branstetter. As his son racked up tackle after tackle during Kansas' run to an 8-5 record and Insight Bowl victory a year ago, Gerald didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. This was the same way the kid always played, as far as he was concerned.
Gerald hadn't played organized sports growing up — he was always a bit undersized — but he'd cut his teeth during neighborhood sandlot games, playing tackle football with no pads, suffering a broken jaw on one occasion, coming to cherish toughness and grit and the propensity to play with a certain amount of fire in the belly.
And early on, he'd made sure those blue-collar virtues had been fused into his youngest son, who never did hesitate to throw his tiny frame — perpetually speckled with bumps, bruises, scabs, scars — around the fields and courts and neighborhoods of Lawton, Okla.
Here's young Jacob walking his bike home from the park, the front wheel bent and twisted so badly he can't ride it — which is what happens when you and your buddies, inspired by the recent viewing of a Disney Channel movie, build a dirt ramp and then take turns propelling yourselves off of it.
Here's Jacob tearing around the base path of his Little League field, a gruesome bump bulging from his head. Earlier that day, he'd suffered another bicycle mishap, landing head-first onto the pavement. But he hadn't felt much like missing his baseball game on account of something so minor, and so he hadn't. At one point, he throws up on the field.
Now here's Jacob returning punts for MacArthur (Okla.) High — not because he's particularly quick or shifty ("Catch the ball, get a couple yards and get down was basically my job," Branstetter says now) — but because coaches have realized he's the only player cold-blooded enough to hang onto the football while a troop of corn-fed Oklahoma boys swarms him.
Yeah, physical well-being doesn't seem to rank too high on his list of personal priorities. Jump first, look for Band-Aids later.
Once, during a game late in his freshman football season, he suffered a broken collarbone that, according to the family doctor, would force him to miss the first month and a half of the upcoming basketball season.
"He said (it would be) six weeks," Branstetter says. "And I said, 'Nah, I'll be there in four.'"
Two and a half weeks later, he was shooting baskets.
The unfortunate part about the collarbone injury, though, was that he realized it meant he'd have to switch from his safety position to kicker and punter if he wanted to continue playing football. He elected to kick, and that was a bummer, because nothing takes the air out of a guy's sails like having to watch football's beautiful chaos from the sidelines, limited to a once- or twice-quarterly appearance for a kickoff or punt.
Still, it didn't take long for him to develop a talent in his new venture. In his sophomore year, he replaced the team's injured starter and helped MacArthur advance to the 5A state championship game. He committed himself to his new craft, whetting his appetite for contact on the few occasions when, during fake punt situations, he was allowed to tuck the ball, lower his shoulder and battle for a first down.
But even as he developed into arguably the best kicker in school history — when MacArthur special-teams coach Mike Moore Moore flips open the school's record book a few years later while speaking with a reporter, he has a hard time finding a kicking or punting record Branstetter doesn't hold — he longed to be out there playing safety or receiver.
"If we'd have ever said, 'Hey, we need you to run out there and play strong safety,' his eyes would have gotten big as saucers," Moore says.
Following a prep career in which he connected on 17 of 22 field goals and 142 of 144 PATs, Branstetter signed with Air Force. The next year went like this: After a few weeks at the Academy, he realized it wasn't for him, left school, headed back to Lawton, went to work at a local sporting-good store, got promoted to manager, exchanged e-mails with KU defensive coordinator Clint Bowen between shifts, accepted an offer to walk-on at Kansas in 2007, sat out a year, suffered through an eligibility mix-up that threatened to sideline him for the 2008 season, and then, a week into the season, finally found himself as the starting placekicker for the Kansas University football team.
He's been cracking skulls ever since.

Kansas senior defensive back Justin Thornton was watching ESPN the other day. Some NFL highlight show. Keyshawn Johnson was hosting, he thinks. Anyway, at one point he saw something that — given the level of tenacity he has come to expect out of his own team's kicker — made him shake his head in disgust.
"One of the return men broke a kick, and one of the punters didn't even come close to making a tackle," says Thornton, the Jayhawks' third-leading tackler this season. "I was like, 'Man, if Branstetter was out there, he would've laid the wood to that guy.'"
This is the way the team's defenders talk about their placekicker. Cold-blooded, they call him. Toughest kicker in the Big 12, for their money. On the sidelines, after Kansas touchdowns, they make a point to gather and watch as the Jayhawks prepare to kick off.
A Branstetter kickoff is kind of a happening.
When prompted, they can roll through Branstetter's Greatest Hits with relative ease — although, due to sheer volume (he's up to nine career tackles after four games this season), the process of selecting a favorite can get tricky.
There was the Missouri game last year, when he twice corralled and once upended the eventual first-round NFL Draft pick Maclin to save a would-be touchdown.
Then there was the Crib Controversy of 2008. In one last season's most memorable moments, Murphy, the Kansas State returner, vowed to "take one to the crib" in the days leading up to his team's meeting with the Jayhawks.
Well, these words got back to Branstetter, who was not particularly amused, and so it was no real surprise that, by the time Kansas had wrapped up a 52-21 victory over the Wildcats, Murphy had a total of zero kick return yards, and Branstetter had finished with a career-high three tackles.
"He's had so many, but I'd probably say the Missouri game last year, when he flipped Jeremy Maclin," says KU punt returner/defensive back Daymond Patterson.
Then, without a hint of humor or irony, Patterson adds this about the Jayhawks' starting placekicker: "Branstetter, he's one of the more sure tacklers on the team."
• • •
The problem is that his genes betrayed him.
If it weren't for the cruel realities of Branstetter's physical makeup — despite a steady diet of protein shakes and creatine, he struggled to put on weight in high school and is resigned to the fact that he'll probably never reach 200 pounds — he'd be playing safety or receiver or some other position in which he could get his uniform dirty on a regular basis.
This inability to transform himself into a more menacing figure, though, hasn't kept him from trying anyway.
"He put on about 15 pounds in the offseason," Mangino says. "Now he's really cocky."
Indeed, Branstetter possesses a certain innate self-confidence not typically seen in specialists. When Kansas coaches elected to attempt a fourth-down conversion against UTEP last month instead of sending Branstetter out for what would have been around a 50-yard field goal, for instance, he was visibly distraught on the sideline.
"Oh, he was mad," says older brother Jared, who, along with the rest of the Branstetter clan, attends every Kansas game, home or away. "If it was his choice, he'd be out there on the field every play, whether it's back there throwing the ball or catching the ball or (whatever)."
Instead, he uses his limited on-field time (he's also 3-of-5 on field goals this season) to take out his aggression on those players with the gall to try to return one of his kicks for a significant gain.
And this is the charm of Jacob Branstetter: that a player whose position is based almost solely on discipline and precision and restraint, is a guy who plays with more emotion than anyone on the field. A daredevil. A wildman. The Renegade Kicker from Lawton.
Each time he darts downfield, legs churning, full-speed ahead, he's risking disaster. Forget injury. Forget the damage that one blind-side block could do. Without the kicker staying back to act as a safety valve, the likelihood of an opposing player returning a kick for a touchdown — one of the sport's most momentum-swinging feats — grows significantly.
Improbably, Mangino has been lenient with his ball-of-fury kicker up to this point — "I've quit telling him," the coach says, exasperated, "but I hope he doesn't get hurt doing it, because we're really thin at that position" — though that understanding figures to end the first time a returner gets past Branstetter and finds himself with a clear path to paydirt. Especially considering the team's margin for error over the next two months — with games against ranked opponents Oklahoma, Texas, Nebraska and Missouri — will be minuscule.
For his part, Branstetter seems to understand the risk of his tight-rope walk. It's something he has clearly considered before. While there is a certain pride associated with kicking off — a certain power that comes with rendering a talented return man obsolete — there is also a responsibility that comes with the job.
It's just that, well, he can't really help himself.
This was the message he was attempting to relay Tuesday, in a meeting room in the team's football complex.
"We've got to sometimes take those chances," Branstetter said. "... I'm sure (quarterback Todd Reesing) will throw a ball sometimes maybe coach Mangino wishes he wouldn't have thrown. But if he throws it and we score a 50-yard touchdown, he ain't gonna say nothing to him about it — nobody's going to say anything, because Todd's a great athlete, and he's a gunslinger. He makes plays like that. And I have that same mentality when I go in to tackle people. I understand maybe if I miss, he might go for a touchdown ... "
And here, the renegade kicker pauses briefly, breaking into a devil-may-care grin.
"But I haven't missed yet."
• A previous version of this story contained an error.
"Not surprisingly, this pension for physicality.."
Isn't it a penchant?
This guy is AWESOME!!! His biggest tackle has to the one he made on Maclin at the end of the Misery game last year. Branstetter and Ravens punter Sam Koch are my favorite K/P ever. Fearless!!! And it's got be humbling to a return man to get lit up by one of these guys!
sweet article.
very good article Doogie! Its awesome we have a kicker who is out there thinking "I want to drill somebody!" But its probably not a good thing if our best tackler is our kicker
Hey gongs way to be a douche Doogie writes one of his best articles and the only thing you can do is nitpick about some petty grammatical error - get a life
Does anyone know of the website to watch it on?
Not the first time I've seen it, but always happy to see an article about kickers. Like this kid's attitude.

Like Twice Review
I must admit I love to get stuff in the mail. I know gasp. I also am addicted to shopping. I am addicted to frugal fashion finds. Thus having a deal site makes sense. I know that I can get better deals on the internet than in the stores. I also know what brands look good on me and how to score them for 50% or more off their retail price. I recently went to lunch with another blogger and she shared this awesome site Like Twice. I thought oh she looks cute I am positive this is something I should check out for you.
I went to their site and I signed up for a free $10 credit. You can see my jcrew jacket that I got for $10 off was a real deal. I got my jacket quickly and it looked just like the picture. It fit perfectly and I love it. I am going to shop there all the time. Twice consignment is my new favorite store. I am even going to consign my own clothes on there. It is so much easier to find nearly new clothing on their site then searching the racks of goodwill. I also know they are in great condition and will arrive nicely packaged. This site is the real deal. I suggest you sign up while they give you $10 off your first purchase. I am sure you can find something cute!
$10 off <—
What is your best fashion score?

Dark Water and Death in Heaven (2014), the last two episodes of Peter Capaldi's first season as Doctor Who's 12th Doctor, took the programme further than ever before into the realms of the metaphysical.
Head Writer and Executive Producer Steven Moffat followed the continuity pyrotechnics of the previous year's 50th anniversary celebrations with a quieter, yet still complex and multi-stranded, Doctor Who series finale exploring themes of death, bereavement, remembrance and the afterlife.
The two-part story gave the most radical twist yet to a much-reinvented villain, yet faithfully recreated a single iconic shot from a black-and-white 1960s episode. It functioned as a seasonal 'special,' drawing inspiration from its broadcast between Halloween and Remembrance Day. As a story featuring 'Cybermen from cyberspace,' it may also be TV Doctor Who's closest approach to the science fiction subgenre of cyberpunk.
Black Archive range editor Philip Purser-Hallard has written prose fiction for various Doctor Who spinoff ranges, the Devices trilogy of urban fantasy thrillers, and a doctoral thesis on science fiction literature.

In Native Son, Richard Wright suggests an inevitable fate for Bigger Thomas. He works for the Daltons, driving Mary and her communist boyfriend Jan around. Mary gets drunk and as Bigger puts her to bed, he suffocates her for fear that she will betray him when Mrs. Dalton enters the room. She goes away, but Mary is dead. He cuts her up and burns her in the furnace. Bigger discovers during the ensuing chaos that Dalton owns the filthy flat where his family lives. Bigger is asked to clean the furnace. Mary's bones and earring are discovered in the ashes as Bigger stirs them into a cloud. He writes a false kidnap note for money and he and Bessie try to run away. The kidnap note is most interesting in its invisibility to the whites – "do what this letter say," it reads, and is signed "red." It is a color deterrent whose own diction, in the form of a missing letter, should give itself away, but somehow does not. No one in the house sees him as clever enough to write it – or to write anything, to be a man of letters, as it were. Bessie is paralyzed with fear, so Bigger beats her to death with a brick. The only money he has is from her pocket. He is captured by the police. Jan hires him a communist lawyer, Max.
Biblical allusions to Job abound in the novel, but are delivered with an ironic tone, since Bigger must answer to himself in the end, not God. Max is just "the man who had lured him on a quest toward a dim hope" 352. His moment of "I-I" in the final pages of the novel is both self-articulation and split consciousness. He has been abandoned by language itself, and has no recourse to art to comfort him: "Distractedly, he gazed about the cell, trying to remember where he had heard words that would help him. He could recall none. He had lived outside of the lives of men. Their modes of communication, their symbols and images, had been denied him" 353. It is almost as though Wright suggests that if he did have aesthetics, he could have been saved. What he realizes is that "Max is not a friend" either, and that "anger was useless" 353. What is left with Max is the memory of the night of questioning: "You asked me questions nobody ever asked me before. You knew that I was a murderer two times over, but you treated me like a man" 354. Max ends up spewing some Communist stuff about how belief and fear hold up the material world of men: "Die free… Every time you try to find a way to live, your own mind stands in the way… because others have said you were bad and they made you live in bad conditions" 357.
Bigger's self-realization is not exactly what Max was hoping for: "They wouldn't let me live and I killed… what I killed for, I am! It must've been pretty deep in me to make me kill!… What I killed for must've been good!… I didn't know I was really alive in this world until I felt things hard enough to kill for 'em" 359. Max is horrified, but Bigger ends with a wry smile.

One particular of the excellent positive aspects of operating with the digital medium is to be offered with an inexhaustible, inventive possible and I adore to get inspired by experimenting with some types and filters and to find my themes in a playful way. The purples for examples are a lot more in the style of pointillism- loose mixtures whose gradient is disturbing to us. But even the chaos is not constant- they would allow us to rest. Abstract paintings are a great addition to any art collector's property or office and are simply available for any individual to proudly show. In the latter half of the 20th century, Abstract Expressionism would surface among a swiftly changing art globe. Bigger pieces of canvas art soon would center on the artist's intensely emotional approach to art.
As property decor decisions are really personal, the choice of employing abstract art can significantly boost the really feel and appear of a area and blend well with the decorator's private style of expression. A feat not simply achieved as some abstract art will be lost to those hesitant to look further that what they plainly see – as a partnership with abstract art is a very private one. An unnamed buyer bought the piece at auction in 2013 for $142.4 million which is the highest sale at auction to date. While these paintings represent some of the most well-known and high-priced paintings in the planet, abstract art is extensively available and can be a lot less expensive. There are many prominent painters who have furthered the reputation of abstract paintings.
Modern abstract art hints of realism and countless art genres from diverse periods, creating today's abstract art more pluralistic in character than ever. In the latter component of the 20th century, abstract artists would express themselves via Pop Art, Conceptual Art and Overall performance art – introducing consumerism and political views into their representative operates.
In today's 21st century, modern day abstract paintings can be challenging to summarize, as the current movement is nonetheless emerging – almost not possible to classify. Abstract art, which is greatest described as art that requires liberties with what is depicted in the outside planet and focuses more on feelings and expression, has turn out to be widely well-liked more than the last numerous decades. Following stretching Abstract Expressionism to its limits, a myriad of art movements would emerge all expounding upon earlier ideas of abstract art. When on display, these artists' use of bold colors and expressive shapes and patterns make the abstract painting the focal point of the area. Art enthusiasts ought to be capable to discover a enormous selection of abstract art at a wide variety of price points by utilizing sources such as net sales and neighborhood vendors.
Edvard Munch – The Scream" This piece of art is probably the most effectively-recognized of these costly modern art paintings and the most mimicked in pop culture. This was specifically noteworthy as this abstract art piece was developed during Planet War I when the shortage of even basic necessities produced paintings a pure luxury. A new art genre, expressionism, would purposefully gravitate the art globe towards embracing emotion by way of painting, as opposed to tangible objects. Similarly, interior designers and art lovers are drawn to abstract art, as properly, for this feeling of individuality.

Pixs & Story by Linda Kissam
It's a shame that not much has been written about Desert Hot Springs near Palm Springs, CA. I am not sure if those who know about it don't want others to be "in" on the values and fun of it all or the press just hasn't discovered it yet. No matter, I've been there, experienced its rich treasures, and am here to tell you – it's a great place to relax and rejuvenate. It hasn't wrapped itself in the glitz and glamour cloak of its neighbor Palm Springs yet, but …it can certainly hold its own until that time comes and is worthy of a 3-day stay. If you're the kind of traveler who can appreciate the raw essence of a natural jewel, this is the place for you.
Desert Hot Springs is built over one of the world's finest natural hot mineral water aquifers. Naturally occurring mineral waters bubble to the surface making this a mineral bath and spa destination. There are over 22 unique (many family owned and operated) inns where you can Zen out, relaxing in polished marble resorts, retro-hip motels, clothes optional, or dog friendly retreats. Almost every inn has spa treatments available on property, so you can just roll from the comfy rooms, to the pool, to the mineral baths, to the spa treatments. No need to bring your own stash of designer bottled water as the city boasts pure and delicious award-winning municipal drinking water.
I'd forgotten how good the health benefits of mineral-rich, hot springs can feel. Mineral waters around the world are famous for their healing attributes, and Desert Springs is no slacker in this department. What a treat to experience stress relieving natural heat, while minerals absorbed through my skin rejuvenating my body. Ready to relieve sore muscles and treat the stiffness that accompanies arthritis, the water in Desert Hot Springs is rich in silica, leaving the skin soft and smooth.
This destination is perfect for some serious alone time, girlfriend getaways, or some romantic rejuvenation. There are a variety of inns to choose from. My favorites are below, but whatever you're looking for…it's here for you. You may also like to enjoy some local "flavor" by trying Aqua Soleil's light and delicious recipe for chilled avocado soup with tomato salsa.
Aqua Soleil: This was my host hotel for two days. Savvy General Manager Sabine Pollerman welcomed me with open arms. I must say the ground floor suite she assigned me was amazing. Just imagine your own mammoth Jacuzzi in your suite. By count I think I could have gotten at least 10 people in it. Also, lots of space to work on the computer or lounge on the couch. If I were writing a book, I'd like to start or end it here. The grounds were immaculate and inviting with a large swimming pool, two Jacuzzi's and inviting well-kept outdoor conversation areas. Sabine tells me that her goal for her guests is for them, "To relax, refresh, and leave with abundant energy to return to their normal life." The on property spa offers a variety of treatments and uses the upscale Body Deli products. Think Blueberry Fusion Micro-Scrub. Sabine encourages potential guests to check the property's Web site for specials, and to call front desk manager "Ella" for any daily deals not shown on the website.
El Morocco Inn & Spa: A Moroccan inspired luxury inn in Desert Hot Springs, CA. run by owner Bruce Abney, one of the most gregarious inn keepers I have ever met. A day here is not only going to provide relaxation via the natural hot mineral water pool and spa, but when the evening rolls around… charm and deliciousness is the order of the evening. Between the delightful Bruce and the Inn's signature cocktail, "The Morocco-tini" you'll be raising a glass to pure relaxation. And hey…make sure you ask Bruce for the Sultan's "Tent Tour."
Dog Spa Resort: This is an inn created from the ground up for dog lovers. Dogs vacation free with their owners. The owner and inn keeper are outstanding guardians; you're going to love this place. No size limits or breed restrictions. Soak, swim, and rejuvenate in some of the world's finest hot mineral waters. Does it get any better? Yup! The pet nanny is on duty from 12 – 6pm to care for dog guests while you play off site. The rooms are large, clean and gorgeous. All you have to do is pack your bag, grab your significant others and get ready for a unique experience.

Bill Belichick's first draft pick as an NFL head coach was a safety. It was 1991. We thought he was nuts.
The top cornerbacks were on the board and, besides, nobody in football's modern era had ever taken a safety as high as No. 2 overall. A safety!
Well, not only did the late Eric Turner outplay the corners picked below him, Belichick also showed that he knew way back when which direction NFL offenses were heading with their multiple receivers spread out and their big, pass-catching tight ends creating mismatches for little corners and bulky linebackers.
Fast forward a couple of decades and, well, it's good to be an NFL safety.
Ed Reed and Troy Polamalu are wrapping up Hall of Fame-caliber careers. Seattle won a Super Bowl by crushing Peyton Manning with a dominant secondary featuring the league's best safety tandem in Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor. And a month after the Saints gave Jairus Byrd a safety-record $26.3 million guaranteed at the start of free agency, Thomas topped that this week with an extension containing $27.8 million guaranteed.
"You need safeties that can cover slot receivers and also play the deep middle of the field as well as down in the box," said Alabama's Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, the top safety available in next week's draft. "You need more versatile [interchangeable] safeties in this league right now."
Safety hasn't overtaken cornerback in terms of overall value, but it is pulling closer. Clinton-Dix and Louisville's Calvin Pryor, the top free safeties, should be selected somewhere among the second 10 picks, while Jimmie Ward, the highest strong safety on the board from Northern Illinois, could sneak into the bottom of the first round.
"You have to do so much [at safety]," Pryor said. "It's not like a corner where you just think pass all day most of the time. You have to think and adjust during the game."
Justin Gilbert, CB, Oklahoma State
Probably as close to a shutdown corner as there is in this draft. A 6-foot, 202-pound playmaker who led the Big 12 with seven interceptions last fall. Also had six kick return touchdowns in his college career. Bears probably hoping he's still around at No. 14.
Darqueze Dennard, CB Michigan State
At 5-11, 190, he's not quite as big as Gilbert. But he's still a sturdy corner whose multiple skills helped lead the Spartans to a surprising spot ahead of Ohio State in the Big Ten. Beat out Gilbert and others to win Thorpe Award as nation's best DB.
Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, FS, Alabama
Has shown the ability to play both free and strong safety. Has the size (6-1, 208), instincts and enough speed to make plays against the deep ball and come up in run coverage. Clearly the best safety available.
Brock Vereen, SS, Minnesota
A 6-foot, 199-pounder who some believe could sneak into the third round. Known as a smart, instinctual player. Older brother, Shane, a running back, was a second-round pick of the Patriots in 2011. Father was a receiver and ninth-round pick of the Buccaneers in 1979.

The Andrew Kukes Foundation for Social Anxiety (AKFSA) and Friendship Circle in West Bloomfield are partnering to expand Friendship Circle's UMatter program, focused on teen mental health. AKFSA will co-sponsor the program, providing a $250,000 grant in a five-year commitment.
The UMatter program strives to help teens and young adults who find themselves in isolation with a variety of programming focused on the idea that everyone truly matters. The program is facilitated by the UMatter Teen Leadership Board, a group of teens from area high schools who assist their peers by working to reduce the stigma that surrounds mental health to provide support and friendship.
"When I began as director of our Daniel B. Sobel Friendship House, which focused on isolation and life crises, my attention was drawn to the great need for teens to have positive messages about mental health issues. Out of those conversations, UMatter emerged," said Rabbi Yarden Blumstein, director of Friendship Circle's teen division of the Morrie and Sybil Fenkell Volunteer Club.
UMatter was launched in 2015 with one teen adviser and 15 teen leaders. In 2016, UMatter trained more than 300 individuals in suicide prevention and hosted four successful events.
In 2017 and 2018, public high schools and private middle and high schools are examining relationships with UMatter. Walled Lake Consolidated School District, among the largest districts in Oakland County, already has confirmed participation at all three of the district's high schools for a UMatter Week. West Bloomfield High School and three other districts in the tri-county area also are considering hosting UMatter Weeks.
"With the support of the Andrew Kukes Foundation, we are focused on introducing 10 new high schools to hosting UMatter Weeks to reach more of our young people with the message that they are not alone and mental health deserves the same attention and care as our physical health," said Rabbi Levi Shemtov, executive director of Friendship Circle.
"We started the Andrew Kukes Foundation six years ago, not only in tribute to our son Andy, but to help families and friends understand they need to be aware and involved in the mental health of those they care about, rather than just hoping things will work themselves out," said Jeff Kukes, co-founder of AKFSA. "To honor Andy's memory, it is important to us to support young people engaging their peers because the younger they receive support, the better the outcome."
Andy Kukes took his own life after searching for years for the proper diagnosis and treatment of his social anxiety. Mental health professionals agree that the transitions from middle school to high school and high school to college are especially difficult for teens coping with mental health issues, and early intervention is critical in helping them overcome those challenges.
More about UMatter is available at Friendshipcircle.org/umatter. To participate or host a UMatter Week, email firstname.lastname@example.com or contact Yarden Blumstein at email@example.com or call (248) 788-7878 ext. 208.

I've gone to church my ENTIRE life. All 27 years of my life. The first 18 were at a church that became a second home to me and a second family. When some things went downhill at said church, my family left and I stayed because I'm a people-pleaser and my family would love me anyways, long story short. Then I went to this Bible college for a couple years. When I came back from college, I ended up at a different church that has been helpful in my walk and I have made countless friends. So, needless to say, I have had Jesus stuff around and ingrained in me my entire life.
I would use all of these words to describe myself.
A few weeks ago at our family reunion, I had some drinks. Drinks mixed with cold medicine makes a person feel a little intoxicated way more quickly. I had SO much fun. I didn't blackout or have a hangover the next day, but I did feel free to be me per se and I didn't have a care in the world. I remember a cousin saying "Sarah, I have known you your whole life and have never heard you say so many words." The next day though, I felt weird. Awkward maybe. By the end of the day I believed the lie that I was only fun buzzed…or people only enjoyed me while I was drunk…or that I was only me when I was drunk. I proceeded to be intoxicated a few more times since then…not blackout, don't remember anything intoxicated…but through it I realized that I am rigid at times. I don't do what I want to do for fear of offending someone or being judged by someone. Not only am I rigid, I read into things FAR too much. But then again, this one I already knew. I loved the feeling of being able to be just Sarah when I had a little bit to drink.
I have believed so many lies my entire life because someone else told me to or said it was a thing. That's what this all boils down to. I believed the lie that alcohol was bad. I believed the lie that if I drank alcohol I was bad. I believed the lie that I had to be perfect, rigid, and no fun. I believed that I was boring and had to stay boring. No changing allowed.
As we grow and go through different situations, more of who we are and how we are broken is revealed.
I was fearful that I had been someone else my whole life and my friend said the above quote. This makes sense. I have always been me. I am free to be me. I don't need to pretend anymore. No more facades. Vulnerability is a must. Sharing my soul when I want to is a must.
There is something really refreshing about unplugging and restarting. So, that's where I'll be. Unplugged from social media for awhile. Sifting through layers of onions. Pushing past my facade that I've put up for so long. Reprogramming my mind and heart. I'm all about creating a new me. Not a completely new me, just letting the real me come out in a new way.
-Sarah (:

Safety Tips For Our West Coast Road Trip
Being a single mom is an all day, everyday job. You don't get a lot of breaks or time to not be a mom. One of the things that are really important to me as a mom is making sure that Reese is fearless and doesn't allow "being a girl" to stop her. So many times as women we are told not to do certain things (like travel) alone because they just aren't safe.
When you're a single woman and you're traveling, that can become even more complicated. Not only are you concerned about keeping yourself safe, you also have to protect these precious babies of yours. That doesn't mean that you have to stop traveling altogether, that just means that it is time for you to start considering safety first.
Reese and I are headed out this summer on a West Coast road trip and before we do that, I have to check off some items on my safety list. The main objective is to have a great time, and we can't do that if we don't get there in one piece! If you're thinking about packing the kiddos up for a road trip, make sure you keep these safety tips in mind:
Oil Change
For starters, if you're going to be taking a road trip, you're going to need to make certain that your car is in tip-top shape. Part of good car maintenance is getting your regularly scheduled inspections and maintenance, especially oil changes. To keep my car in top condition, I prefer ExxonMobil Mobil 1™ High Mileage oil. If you're a hands-on girl, and you know how to change your own oil, you can grab that blend right off the shelf at your local Walmart.
If you're not handy at all, don't worry. You can still use this blend, Walmart's Auto Care Center can change your oil in a breeze. While you're getting your car maintenance, enter Walmart's Earth Day Driveaway Offer. Mobil 1™ is giving Walmart customers a chance to win a Chevy Equinox, plus $10 off their next Mobil 1™ purchase at Walmart – see the rules at the end of this post. West Coast Road Trip
Emergency Kit
There are certain emergencies that are likely to come up when you're traveling, and much of them are car related. It always really important to be prepared just in case. Put together an emergency kit that includes:
- Spare tire and/or a fix a flat product
- Jumper Cables
- First Aid Kit
if you have all of these items on hand, you'll be able to deal with whatever comes at you while you're on the road.
Emergency Roadside Service
Emergency roadside service is a lifesaver. If you can't change your tire, if you run out of gas, if something goes wrong with the car that you can't identify, they will be there. It is like having a handyman available to you no matter where you are. West Coast Road Trip
If you haven't looked into these types of services yet, you are cheating yourself. Take the time to check and make certain you haven't already paid for this service. Certain car dealers provide roadside assistance when you purchase a new car. Many cell phone providers offer roadside assistance for an additional fee on your bill every month and you can even get it covered under your auto policy. There really is no excuse to be stranded on the side of the road with no help.
Be Well Rested
Never drive when you are tired. Driving when sleepy can actually be just as dangerous as drunk driving. I know that people glorify not stopping to rest on the road, and getting there all in one shot, but you don't have to be anyone's hero. Plan on taking breaks along the way. When you're driving, especially with your children, you want to be alert at all times.
Watch the Gas
The very last thing you want is to be stuck on the side of the road after having run out of gas. Not only does it put a damper on your time schedule, it can be scary and unsafe and lastly. it's kinda embarrassing (especially as a woman).
How do you avoid that mishap? You absolutely must watch your gas meter. Keep an eye on your gas, especially when you are driving late at night, in unfamiliar territory, and in unknown locations. It is a terrible feeling to need to get gas and drive mile after mile with no way to determine if your car will make it to the gas station. You don't want that with your babies in the car. Fill up as soon as the sun goes down, just in case and never let the tank dip below half.
It doesn't take much to stay safe on the road, just a little prior planning before you hop behind the wheel. You absolutely can get this done! West Coast Road Trip

From 2000–15 the world of international development focused on the millennium development goals and the ambition to address extreme poverty on a global scale.
In 2015 the deadline came and went with around one million people still living on less than $1.25 a day, more than 800 million living without enough food to eat, and women fighting for their rights. As a result the UN developed 17 sustainable development goals (SGDs), which focus more broadly on sustainability, equality, education and ending poverty.
With this in mind, what do the SDGs mean for the IOP's capacity building work, and how do we as an organisation feed into the wider objectives? The most relevant goal for us is to "ensure inclusive and equitable education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all".
There are several projects within the IOP's international programme that fit into the concept of promoting education. The IOP for Africa project is one example. This project delivers practical physics teacher training in Ethiopia, Ghana, South Africa and Tanzania with a focus on simple experiments that can be transferred to the classroom. The SDG link comes from supporting teachers and teacher-trainers who transfer the knowledge gained to their students, continuing the cycle of learning in schools.
Our entrepreneurial workshops are another example. These focus on closing the gap for scientists and engineers who possess knowledge around their chosen subject but who don't have the right skills to turn ideas or research into a commercial enterprise. The workshops include sessions on networking, the art of presentation, financial modelling, and the nuances of intellectual property. A number of sessions are tailored to relate to in-country situations. For example, a recent entrepreneurial workshop in Tanzania included sessions from government departments, incubators based in Dar es Salaam, and the local patent office.
In addition to promoting learning opportunities, we also make an effort to make the workshops inclusive and equal with the call for applications going out across host nations, with emphasis on getting an even split between male and female participants. On the last day of the workshops participants are tasked with presenting a business pitch to a panel of judges and often the ideas that come through in that exercise are heavily linked with other SDGs. For instance, during the workshop in Tanzania, participants presented concepts that aimed to develop inclusive education material, sustainable food products and sustainable housing. The concept of the workshops also encourages productive employment through the creation of businesses and by extension the creations of jobs – indeed, the concept of job-creation is constantly promoted during the workshops.
The IOP's international programme also includes collaborating on the creation of a STEM centre of excellence in the Mtwara region of Tanzania. This is a partnership with the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Tanzania and several other national and international organisations. Again, it will promote the importance of education and create a place where STEM education can be supported in a sustainable way.
Overall, the IOP's capacity-building programme fits well with the wider international development objectives of the SDGs. We'll continue to work with our partners to expand our reach to develop sustainable programmes in a variety of low- and middle-income countries to help as many people as possible to benefit from the opportunities that science and technology can offer.

The fatal shooting of a 19-year-old Baltimore man at Towson Town Center Monday night was not a "random" act, Baltimore County Police Chief Jim Johnson announced Tuesday.
Johnson, speaking at a press conference at the Baltimore County Public Safety Building in Towson on Dec. 20 said, "We know now, based on the investigation so far, that this absolutely was not a random act of violence" adding that detectives have also ruled out the possibility of a robbery as a motive for the killing.
Rodney Vest Pridget, 19, of the Baltimore area, died of gunshot wounds outside Nordstrom at about 6:20 p.m. Dec 19.
According to Johnson, the victim and the assailant were in the mall prior to the shooting, although Johnson could not say whether the parties were engaged in a dispute or if the victim and his assailant had a relationship prior to the shooting.
But after police established that the attack was not random, Johnson emphasized that mall-goers should not fear going to the mall to finish their holiday shopping.
"Our shoppers are safe in Baltimore County," Johnson said. "We want our people, our citizens to come out and feel safe with the children."
Fifth District County Councilman David Marks wrote in an email Tuesday morning that he was "obviously upset" by the incident and had been in contact with Johnson, Towson police and mall management.
Marks said he had received about a dozen calls and/or emails from concerned constituents Tuesday, and at the news conference announced that ultimately, mall-goers will "be more safe (now) than … before" the shooting.
Johnson said technology has played a "significant role" in helping the investigation so far.
In addition to cameras inside the mall, Johnson said information gleaned from outside cameras that are now required at shopping centers by county law have helped advance the investigation. Johnson would not say exactly what the video showed.
In 2005, County Executive Kevin Kamenetz — then a County Council member — championed a bill requiring cameras be installed at area malls and shopping centers that contained at least 15 storefronts. This, in the wake of a February 2005 fatal shooting of a popular St. Paul's School teacher.
Contacted the day after the shooting, Kamenetz told the Towson Times that he was "pleased that the surveillance cameras are another effective tool" in helping police solve crimes. Police "cleared 100 percent of the homicides committed in Baltimore County in 2010," Kamenetz said.
Johnson said the department is "optimistic" that they will ultimately clear this case.
"We have hard-working detectives and field personnel that are running out many leads at this time," Johnson said.

\"As he said this, he spat on the ground and made clay of the spittle and anointed the man\'s eyes with the clay, saying to him, \"Go, wash in the pool of Siloam\" (which means Sent). So he went and washed and came back seeing…\" John 9: 6-7
This might be one of my favorite stories of the Bible. A man blind from birth was miraculously healed. It was so miraculous that nobody believed it was actually him until his parents vouched for him. Even more amazing was HOW he was healed. Jesus took some spit and mixed it with dirt to make some clay, smeared it in his sockets and created new eyes for this man. Then He sent the man to wash in the waters of Siloam.
Just like in the Old Testament story where Namaan was confused and even insulted by the too-simple instructions to bathe in the river 7 times to be cured of leprosy, we are surprised by the ordinary but moreso because it\'s spit.
Why would God use spit and dirt and why on the Sabbath? Jesus could have chosen any way and any day to heal this blind man but He chose the Sabbath.
While I don\'t know the entire significance, a few things come to mind. This reminds me of Genesis where God created Adam out of dirt and anointed him with life. The bible doesn\'t make it a point to tell us from which material the animals were created but it does tell us He made Adam from a handful of dust and that he breathed life into his nostrils. Dust seems to be a theme lately. On Ash Wednesday we put ashes on our foreheads to remind us that we are dust and to dust we shall return. Breathe and water are a theme for life or the Holy Spirit. Maybe when God adds His breath or His spit to dirt He\'s adding life.
When I was on a field trip to Lost River Caverns with my child\'s class once, I remember the tour guide pointing out several minerals underground. I recognized them and the thought occurred to me that the same minerals that make up the dirt also make up our bodies. Iron is in our blood, calcium makes up our bones. We are a complicated system that is partially fueled by zinc, magnesium, iodine, copper, cobalt, and so much more. In essence, we are dirt and water; nothing more than a sophisticated colony of particles from the ground held together by God\'s spit.
But Jesus did not come to die for a bunch of dirt. We know that God looked at His creation and called it \"very good\" right before He declared the Sabbath for Himself.
When Christ chose to use dirt to give life to this man\'s eyes He was perhaps reminding us where we came from and Who gives us eternal life. The man was was cured of blindness, yes, but He was given so much more than vision.
Maybe Jesus chose the Sabbath to reestablish the correct order of things. Man was not made for the Sabbath but the Sabbath for man. Christ was reminding us that His mission and the most important work of creation was to restore man out of the ashes to life and so He healed the man. As Lord of the Sabbath, the One Who brings dirt to life, He is the One who declared this order in the first place.

The robots around us are designed by humans to look cute and like a friend. However, these machines are controlled and dominated by humans, like slaves. We chain robots like slaves or dogs or lock them up like birds in a cage. In this work we show the robots behind the design, reconfirming the relationship between humans and machines as artifacts. In the installation, you will hear the screams of many slaves. The infrared ray camera allows the robots to sense and follow the audience about, showing their blind loyalty. However, ultrasonic speakers relay the robot slave's motor sound and signal tone, which is like a scream, via the stethoscope. In the performance, slave robots move in sync with their master's bones and muscles, screaming as they go.
The development of robot and artificial intelligence will lead to robots taking charge of the earth in the future. Machine waste installed around the robots symbolizes the robot remains on the Earth.

Dr. Richard Callan outlines five main reasons a dentist-owner may want to hire an associate:17
Best Reasons
In our opinion, the best reasons create the most optimal situation for a successful associateship, particularly one involving the associate working as an employee vs. an independent contractor—this distinction will be addressed later.
Other Reasons
Our view is that the second "other reason"—having excessive facility resources, may lend itself more favorably for an associate working as an independent contractor. In effect, the associate would be building his/her own practice in the same location(s) as the current owner.

Smiths Luau - Our Experience
Posted byon
Smith's Tropical Paradise
Smiths Family Garden Luau
The Smith family own a beautiful 40 acre botanical garden off the Wailua River. Smiths's Luau is held here on most weekdays and run from 5:00pm – 9:00pm. After checking in you'll receive a complimentery neckless and have a professional photo taken of your group. From here you have the option of boarding a motorized tram that takes you on a guided ride through the garden. You can stroll the lush gardens on your own too. The Imu ceremony is held at 6pm, after which the bar and buffet dinner become available. It's all you can eat and drink.up
Our Experience:
Our personal guests love Smith's so we have gotten to know this place quiet well. Smith's garden is certainly the nicest location for a luau. Plants from all over Polynesia dot the landscape and are labeled neatly. The tram ride is interesting and you'll still have time to walk around if you check in at 5pm. Be on the lookout for peacocks, swans & some goats that make garden. The healthiest, most well fed chickens in the world live here. Replicas of Polynesian housing are spread throughout and it's interesting to see how people lived so very long ago.
The imu Ceromony, which showcases the cooking method call Kalua is when they cook the pig underground. Smiths family explains it nicely and makes you hungry, especially if you're downwind from the pig.. Get there a few minutes early so you can see it. Guests will encircle the oven andstanding room by the water is the last to fill up but gets you closest to the oven.
Smiths Bar opens at the conclusion of the Imu ceremony. The buffet opens a few minutes later and you'll need to instruction here. The food is excellent. Make sure you try everything and leave room for the dessert.
Safety Warning
The bar is only open for 90 minutes but this is more than enough time to get a healthy aloha buzz. If you drove here please have one designated driver. Taxi's are available and if you're staying on the eastside Smith's provides a free pick up and return from your resort.

My mum got me this burger press for Christmas that I still hadn't got around to using yet, so the other night I found a nice quick and easy (and low fat!) recipe for Spicy Turkey Burgers and decided to give it a go.
Ingredients (serves 3)
600g Turkey mince
4 spring onions
1.5 tablespoons of dark soy sauce
1.5 tablespoons of sweet chilli sauce
Chop the spring onions and add to a bowl with the mince, soy sauce, sweet chilli sauce and season well with salt and pepper. Mix them all together so it looks like this....
Next, shape into 6 burgers - if like me you have a burger press then you can do this without getting your hands dirty.
Now place under a preheated grill for around 15 minutes, turning occasionally.
I then served mine in ridiculously huge burger buns with some not so healthy (and lazy) oven chips - but I'm sure you could do better!

Filmmaking important to district, but when dealing with environmental issues, it's always better to err on the side of caution
Chamber defends North Bay's decision to ban fake snow
Peter Chirico
Special to The Nugget
On the lighter side of local news issues over the past few weeks, it doesn't look like the ban on artificial snow will be continued fodder for our community, given the weather this past weekend.
Welcome to winter and soon Christmas will be upon us. Next Sunday, the 18th, the annual Santa Claus Parade will start the Christmas festivities, and on the 30th the DIA Old fashioned Downtown Christmas Walk will celebrate its 30th anniversary. Here's hoping for great weather for both of these events.
In the opening of this article, the mention of the artificial snow ban, although given a winter reprieve, does give some time for both the film industry and municipal staff to find solutions.
The film Industry is important to our entire district and we all have to work together to ensure the momentum we have seen over the past few years, continues. Our municipal economic development department — Erin, Tanya, Leslie and Annemarie — have done a tremendous job in facilitating the industry, enabling it to become a significant economic driver for the area.
When dealing with environmental issues, it's always better to err on the side of caution and no doubt that was the premise of the ban. It was unfortunate that when the rumours began to circulate and social media was abuzz on the topic, it resulted in a lot of misinformation and speculation on the subject.
Decisions have to be made on many issues each and every day both in the business world and the municipal realm, as well. Looking back always provides us with 20/20 vision and, hopefully, with that look back on how it was rolled out, the lessons learned will provide some useful guidance for the future. I do believe the old adage "Don't shoot the messenger" should always apply.
On the economic development front, it was great news from both institutions of higher learning last week. Canadore College had held the grand opening of The Village on Nov. 2, and within a week announced a new partnership which will provide employment to up to 60 health-care providers.
As well, Canadore is looking to implement an accelerated PSW program in the spring of 2019. Working together with Canadian Shield Health Care Services Inc. of Sudbury, the college will utilize their services and graduate students ready for employment with them.
The good economic news for the region continued Friday afternoon when Nipissing University and NUSU held the official sod turning for the new 32,000-square-foot student centre, slated to open in 2020. The $13-million facility will be a great addition to student life at the campus, and the construction spending will provide direct economic spinoff to our entire community. We are grateful to both Canadore and Nipissing for the continued confidence in our community, along with the investments in new infrastructure and employment. Congratulations to both.
Peter Chirico is the president & CEO of the North Bay & District Chamber of Commerce.

Chaplains serve in many hospital settings, and some are assigned to rehabilitation units. They act as spiritual counselors to help patients, families, and the healthcare staff members:
Through periods of crisis
Reaffirm their spiritual beliefs
Maintain or establish relationships with a church or house of worship
Make daily rounds and on-call 24 hours a day pastoral services
Chaplains may be ordained ministers or priests, or may have attended a chaplaincy or pastoral care program through a university or hospital.
Because rehabilitation focuses on the whole person — physical, emotional, social, and spiritual, the chaplain often plays a special part in helping a person with a disability cope and recover. When a hospital or rehabilitation center does not employ a chaplain, the patient's own clergy or spiritual advisor often performs these functions.
