"Last weekend I had the pleasure of taking Lisa's Discovering Your Psychic Self. She is a phenomenal teacher, great presentation and lots of fun activities. She has written a guided meditation that she started class with. It brought tears to my eyes to sit with my higher self for a moment. This class definitely validated question I've had about energy with the activities we did. She guides you through everything. Giving encouragement and ideas on how to tune into spirit and yourself in your own personal way. That atmosphere was warm, non-judemental and enlightening. Lisa presents and laugh alone will fill your heart with joy. She actually was the first person I've ever had a reading from. She is so in tune and dead on with things no one would know about you. Thank you Lisa for what you do. Keep inspiring and heal the world. 😇" -- Danielle Justice, OH (February 2019)
"I attended the Discovering Your Psychic Self class taught by Lisa Noland-Shalosky. It was the first class I've ever taken about developing my intuitive side and the first class at the Reiki Center. I was nervous as often happens when I try something new, but Lisa was fabulous and immediately made me feel comfortable!
The class was super fun! One of the first activities was a beautiful meditation! It was written by Lisa and was incredibly moving and lovely. The meditation definitely put the entire class in the right mind-set for the rest of the day! The class was very hands-on and Lisa had several activities, plus psychic tools for us to try and experience. Lisa is a gifted teacher and led us through each new section with lots of knowledge and humor!
I wasn't sure if I had psychic abilities or not when I decided to take the class. I found out during the class that some psychic methods and tools speak to me more than others, which is valuable to know. And the best part is that I discovered that I have more psychic ability than I thought! Lisa was kind, encouraging, warm, and fun! I highly recommend this class and Lisa as a teacher! Thank you, Lisa! You touched my heart!" --Janelle Ozmun, OH (February 2019)
"I absolutely loved your class. You are a very skilled spiritual teacher and I'm so happy to have met you. I'm excited for your next class." -- Kim, OH (March 2019)
"I attended Beginning Mediumship taught by Lisa Noland-Shalosky. It was awesome! I went into the class not knowing what to expect. I'm not one of those people who have talked to spirits since I was a child or have had ghosts appear to me. I didn't know if I had the ability to do this or not, but I knew I had an interest in Mediumship. The class was filled with information and activities, but the best part was that Lisa made it such a safe place to learn! Her teaching style is warm and encouraging. Oh and lots of fun! I started the class unsure and hesitant, but by the end of the class, Lisa had taken me to being confident and able. Before I knew it, I was conveying messages from souls of loved ones to members in the class! This experience was absolutely transformative for me! Truly life-altering! I feel like Mediumship is a glorious gift I was given, but just discovered! I don't know if I would have identified any of this without Lisa! I am very grateful to her and appreciative of her gifts, which led me to mine!" -- Janelle Ozmun, OH (March 2019)
"I cannot extol the benefits of Lisa's Psychic Development classes and workshops enough. If you find yourself on a spiritual path and are interested in advancing your psychic skills or are
merely interested in various subjects, I would highly recommend these classes and workshops. Lisa presents them in a way that gives each person a chance to participate, take an active part, and have questions answered in a safe and loving environment. Besides learning, you find yourself making many new friends with like interests. Thank you Lisa, for helping me remember to follow my inner guidance, connect with my "psychic self" and stay true to myself and my beliefs." – Psychic Development Class Student
"I am honored to have been part of Lisa's first Psychic development class. The class was fun, inspiring and very informative. Lisa is a great teacher and friend who truly cares about people. She helped me to feel more of the special connection we all have with Spirit. Not only was the class helpful in developing my psychic skills and awareness, it also expanded on my spiritual experiences. To be honest I never felt like I was psychic or could be psychic. I thought this was reserved for a select gifted few. During the course of the class I discovered that not only does Everyone have the ability to be psychic but I also discovered I already was an Empath and Claircognizant. For me these abilities do not appear overnight but are already part of us and with discovery and practice I can expand them to a greater capacity. I thank Lisa for giving me the confidence and knowledge to better myself and discover these wonderful talents we all have access to. She is a very gifted psychic and teacher but to me her biggest strength is her heart. It is an absolute pleasure to know Lisa, many thanks" Psychic Development Class Student, David Howard, Columbus, OH
"Lisa's personal story is such an inspiration, the epic triumph over following societal expectations to realize that Universal guidance had even bigger plans! Her classes/workshops have transformed my life in such a very positive way. Even though I awakened long ago, I, too, was still on the journey society had laid out for me, but Lisa's story touched me and gave me the strength to remember to look within to a higher form of guidance. In Lisa's psychic development classes I learned to re-trust my intuition and "psychic self" and further develop my own connection to be led moment by moment to my true purpose. Lisa provides a loving and safe environment for people new to spiritual growth as well as advanced courses for those looking to continue to hone their psychic skills. Because of Lisa's classes and advice, I have again started to follow my inner guidance to allow each moment unfold as it happens. Lisa is a loving teacher, guide, friend, and a reminder to us all that, anything is possible if we just listen to our own inner wisdom and Universal guidance." – Psychic Development Class Student, Alison, Columbus, OH
"I decided to take Lisa's Psychic Development class to enhance my gifts. What I got out if the class was so much more. Lisa taught us so many different modalities that were new to me. She showed me that I can not only enhance the gifts I have, but I can gain new skills with practice. Through the class, I also developed new everyday coping skills that were appreciated by the people in my life. Also, I became friends with the other class members. I feel like I have gained a new community, and all around life enhancement through her class. I would recommend it to anyone and would love to take it again." -- Psychic Development Class Student, Jen Paul, Columbus, OH
"I took Lisa's 'Discovering Your Psychic Self Class'. I really enjoyed it and learned so much. Lisa knows her stuff; she did an excellent job of answering questions. She created a friendly, comfortable environment and was very encouraging. The exercises and homework she had us do really helped me develop my intuition. She also provided great material and book suggestions for us to continue studying and developing our skills on our own. It was a wonderful experience and I feel it was money well spent." -- Psychic Development Class Student, Erin S., Columbus, OH
"The river of love flows to you and through you. Allow yourself to bathe in that love and accept this divine gift of love and light that is rightly yours...always!!!"

It was a great experience and hope you will have an opportunity to experience it soon!" – Janet Stafford, OH

-- Rev. Rose Fier (Reiki Rose Healing Arts), IN

Lisa, my outlook has completely changed because of time spent with you and I am forever grateful for the messages I received today. I can't speak highly enough of you! Thank You!!" -- Bobbi Baker, OH
"As this year almost comes to a end I can say with great confidence 2014 will be a dandy. Lisa, God and the Angels brought you into my life and you have single handedly help guide me through some dark hours and teach me so much about myself. I consider you a life coach, spiritual advisor, an Angel and a friend. I wish the very best for you in 2014 and always. May your years be as blessed as you have made mine in the last four months. I cherish and appreciate you! Thank you Lisa!" -- Leigh Everett, OH
"You did a reading for me and 4 other of my friends who are flight attendants the other day. I just wanted to thank you again for your help and guidance when you spoke to us. Your gift is beautiful and incredible that has the power to REALLY raise spirits to cry with joy and faith. With every fiber of my very being Lisa, thank you. Thank you for reconfirming that what I have been feeling is real. Thank you for giving such light and love to my friends. Thank you for believing in all of us. The gift that you have has the power to change hearts and souls to raise up to the highest level of greater good." -- Eukeria O., Columbus, OH
"I chanced upon Lisa at a Readers Day & immediately noticed how present & open she was. It was clearly a pure joy to her to be of service. I brought some deep wounds with me & Lisa read the situation with such acquity. She immedately knew this was a matter beyond words & choice. She cupped her hands & acted as a vessel while I "poured out" the pain of my past experience...She took that energy all in with such love & awareness as to the magical role she was playing. As a reader/counselor I was so impressed with the way she graciously gave from the heart. I look back & feel so much healing took place by being so powerfully witnessed. Thank you Lisa, truly." -- Jenny Sieck, OH - Inner Voice Intuitive Guidance & Sacred Braceles Intuitive Designs
"I have had an individual reading with Lisa and it was awesome. She has a strong connection to spirit and is able to give the most needed message. Although I had come to her with some questions, she helped me to see there were underlying issues that I need to attend to first. She taught me that if I can solve those issues other things I want will fall into place. The second time that I saw Lisa she was holding a group channel. The energy in the room was amazing and calming all at the same time. I felt connected to her and the rest of the group. I feel that is a testament to her desire to connect to people and give them the support and help. I believe she helped me and everyone in the room with their own questions and connection to spirit. I left the event with new friends and connections, and a better sense of who I am." -- Jen P. Columbus, OH
"Hi Lisa, just wanted to say that your impromtu reading during our meeting at Serendipity Stables was exactly in synch with the path I followed. You told me that the energies in San Diego were good for me. Well, I moved to San Diego last fall to be reunited with my sweetheart, my first love. It is as you said. Your reading really gave me the courage to stay on my path and follow my heart." -- Lou P., CA
"My experience with Lisa was very powerful! I have spoken to psychics before but never to a medium and since my sister passed years before I was anxious to see what would happen. My sister did indeed come through and with Lisa's help I was able to have some answsers to things I had always wondered about since my sisters passing. We cried together, we laughed together again for the brief moments Lisa helped us to share with one another, it was wonderful! I was also able to meet Gaia, Mother Earth, channeled through Lisa....what an incredible blessing!!! That was an experience I will never ever forget! I feel much more connected to the earth again since my meeting with Gaia. I feel special and beautiful again. The experience was indeed a game changer for me. The energy that Lisa shared with me was so wonderful and I cannot thank her enough for sharing her gift with me and others like me!!!" -- Mandy J, OH
"I want to thank you for allowing me to learn from you and become a different person. Your guidance along with my mother's has become so positively influential I don't think I would have gotten through the last 7 months. You help me draw strength and inner peace and I have learned to love myself through my times of weakness. I think the world of you and I am so excited to continuously learn from you. Thank you Lisa" -- Leigh E., OH
"I have had the pleasure of working with Lisa over the past few months and have created a strong bond and kinship with her. While I have talked with other psychics in the past, I've never experienced the deep sense of comfort and encouragement that I have since meeting Lisa. Lisa's compassionate nature and her guidance have helped me to grow and explore the depths of my mind, feelings, and emotions. More than a reading into what's to come, Lisa is able to impart insight into her readings and always maintains a balanced and open approach to connecting you with your higher self. I always leave my sessions with her feeling energizing, renewed, and centered and have found great inner peace through working with her. She is a truly talented spiritualist and a great friend!" -- Cat L., Columbus, OH
"I met Lisa through a mutual friend, I had no idea what to expect when I set up my first appointment with her. And was I surprised! Lisa helped me realize my true calling as a writer and what my path in life should be. She had come in my apartment that I just had moved into and she told me my dog Bella needs to hear that I will be back soon. I was shocked that she had told me that because I had been having issues with my dog Bella since I moved there with her barking until I came back home. Since that meeting Lisa and I have become great friends and I know when ever I need to ask a question if I am on the right path she will know and tell me. Luckily for me, I didn't just find a great psychic but a great friend as well! " -- Christy G., Columbus, OH
"Words cannot express the gratitude I feel for Lisa Noland. She has truly changed my life in so many ways, through her ability to guide with spirit and her amazing and beautiful energy, she has a gift that allows people to see within themselves their own divine journey. Lisa is not only a guide through spirit her soul and generosity through love will change you as a person. Lisa's presence can only make you smile and see the world in a whole new light. Lisa is the definition of love and how to life a life of love and gratitude. Her guidance have lead me on the most amazing journey and because of Lisa and her true gift I am a better person. I cannot say enough about Lisa and how she opened my eyes to a beautiful life." -- Liz B., Columbus, OH.
"Thank you so much for the reading and gifts you gave me this past Friday. You really helped me sort out some of my guilt issues as well as give me lots of advice on handling issues with my thoughts. The breathing technique you showed me was awesome too!! Thank you for being so kind." -- Jennifer M., Columbus, OH.
"Lisa is a unique individual, one of the kindest, caring people I have ever met. Too many, she is a true friend, but to me she is beyond that. She did readings for my daughter and me while we were in Columbus, Ohio. The setting was informal, she put us at ease and began interacting with us. After the session was over, both of us were crying with tears of happiness. The things she told us were true and helped both of us come to grips with who we are and why we do the things we do. It was and incredible experience for both of us. The icing on the cake was when we went outside, there was biggest most beautiful rainbow in the sky that we had ever seen. This brought special meaning to both my daughter and I. Lisa, thank you so much." --Larry, Kansas City, MO.
"I have had readings before Lisa, but I must say I've never felt a connection before I met Lisa and the great work she does. I remember asking her about my grandma, (only one I have a relationship with)....but when Lisa started talking to me, much to my surprise, it was my grandmother whom I've not seen since I was 15 and had passed away 5 years ago. Lisa could not have known anything about her, yet she told me things that only my family knows. Lisa is not just someone who speaks to the spirit world, but she is one of the most loving and genuine people I've ever met....and I'm a better person because of her!" In my thoughts always, --Donna Miller, NC.
"Lisa is possessed of a rare gift, generously given to anyone wise enough to receive it. If you have found this site, you are more than halfway to her other 'sight' as visionary and medium. I recommend Lisa to anyone who truly seeks to connect with the invisibles; past, present and future. With Lisa, the spirits wisely broke the mold--and we all benefit." --Nancy L Segal; Author Nancy's Truth©, Phoetics ™
"Lisa is such a beautiful spirit….she continues to amaze me with her insight and always manages to bring me to a place of peace and balance…trusting beyond my own understanding. She has a gift…and IS a gift." -- Joan S., OH
"Lisa is truly one of a kind. When I met her I felt an instant connection as well as a huge energy pull. Once I sat down for a reading with her, hoping to get some guidance on some decisions I needed to make and a family friend came through asking to speak with me. I had never mentioned this friend to Lisa, and hadn't thought about her in a while. Lisa immediately said her name and chills went right through me. Speaking to Lisa always gives me a sense of peace and helps redirect me to my purpose. I refer all my friends and family to Lisa so I wanted to share here on the website as well!" --Allison S., CO.
"One of my best friends had been passed away for 14 years when I had my first reading with Lisa. When she told me a male was with us I assumed it was my Papa who I had hoped would show up. When Lisa started describing me "cheersing" with a pint glass I knew it was my friend Ronald Cooper who had passed away of a heart attack at the age of 35 and whom we had just had our 14th fundraiser for. I teared up immediately and couldn't believe he finally had come to say hello! She described him and how he loved children, how he dislikes pictures of him at my favorite pub, and said he'd always be a thorn in my side. Lisa gave me the most meaningful reading I've ever had and I own a metaphysical shop!" --Melanne McAnally, OH

(Greek hagiasmos, Latin sanctificatio) is, according to Christian belief, the process by which the Christian is transformed into ever greater holiness and likeness of Christ.
The Lutheran theology describes sanctification as the realization of God's holy will on the people. Within the Catholic Church, sanctification is perceived as a work of God in and with man, not something that the person is aware of, and it does not differ sanctification from salvation or repentance. After the Reformation, different moments of salvation were distinguished in psychological and educational interest. Sanctification was then denoted as man's moral transformation.
Sanctification is emphasized particularly in Methodism (including the Salvation Army) and charismatic Christianity, primarily holiness movement, but also in the Pentecostal movement and the faith movement. In these contexts, sanctification is described sometimes as deliverance from the power of sin, that is, the restoration of man's original goodness as nature. Sanctification Doctrine has also affected the Baptists, Congregationalists, and Presbyterianists.

According to Sanctification doctrine, sanctification is done by grace. Some preachers describes sanctification as a process that leads to humble and open mind.
The New Testament describes sanctification sometimes as something that God does and sometimes as something you do for yourself (The apostles urged Paul to let sanctify themselves in Acts 21:24-26). A related concept is the transfer. It denotes a Christian who decides to give his unqualified assent to what God wants to do. The believer puts his life in God's hands and prays that his will completely receive advice.
Father of Methodism John Wesley spoke of a Christian as a person seeking the state of Christian perfection (English Christian perfection), which can be reached during this mortal life. This term is rarely used outside of Methodism. Within Methodism also occurs concept evangelical sinlessness, as opposed to sinlessness and perfection in the Old Testament sense, which demanded own performance and was not done by grace. Wesley, however, took away from the concept of sinlessness. In sanctification movement this is equivalent to the concept of entire sanctification. Today many preachers nuanced this proclamation, and usually refers to the concept of holiness as a process or path, and perfection as a goal to strive for but never achieved in this life.
Some preachers say that although all Christians are tempted and make mistakes sometimes, so does sanctification that it is not normal for a born-again Christian to daily commit willful sin. God has already forgiven sin once and for all. Hence, these preachers strongly emphasize on regular confession of one's sins and asking for the forgiveness of sins.

How adorable is this cute little jumper dress? Normally £18.00, it's been reduced to £9 at Mamas and Papas.
I don't know about you, but I find myself resisting the whole pink and frilly thing when it comes to cute clothes for little girls. I was just looking for something a bit special for my daughter to wear on Easter Sunday, and stumbled across this.
I love it cos it looks easy to wear, can be worn again (not just on special occasions) and it won't break the bank. It's also 100% cotton and machine washable at 40 degrees. Super-easy to co-ordinate with tights or leggings and every day shoes, too, without needing a whole new set of accessories to go with it.
It's often tricky to find long-sleeved dresses at this time of year, too, but based on today's weather there's no way I'm cracking out the kids' summer wardrobes yet.
Standard delivery costs £4.95 so it'll set you back £13.95 in total. Bargain!
Just let me get mine ordered first before y'all make stocks sell out...

Weekend Rides: Paradise Loop
Paradise Loop is a classic bike ride in the Bay Area (Strava route). Being a new, but very determined biker, I was nervous about the elevation, traffic, and difficulty. Here's a Snobby Foodie's Guide to Paradise Loop - complete with 2nd brunch.
For the most part, I didn't feel like I was going to be hit by a car. Most of the route has designated bike lanes. On some of the streets in Tiburon, where the speed limit is 45- I would be cautious.
Best Time to Do It: Spring to Fall
What to Bring: See accessories list for beginner road cyclist.
Difficulty: Moderate with a little elevation.
If you want to make it a bit easier on yourself & shorten the ride to 30 miles, eliminate the Golden Gate Bridge portion of the ride. (Strava segment)
Brunch & Coffee : M & H Bread and Butter
Bike Paradise Loop
Coffee & 2nd Brunch: Cibo Café

The forecasted historic Juno blizzard of 2015 with a projected two to three feet of snow was pretty much a bust. Manhattan saw only 8 inches to a foot snow. Pretty significant if the media hadn't talked it up so much. Here is my personal batch of 'photos of NYC during Juno blizzard'. From Soho, to Midtown, to beautiful Central Park, these pictures encompass the stark evening and lonely streets before the storm, to the snowmen and sledding families the morning after.
Photos of NYC During Juno Blizzard: Evening of the Storm:
Photos of NYC During Juno Blizzard: Morning After:
In the afternoon before the storm, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced all vehicles would be banned from the road in conjunction with a full halt of the city's subway and bus system starting at 11pm on January 26th. Of all the residents in New York City less than 1/4th drive themselves around. With no way to get to work the majority of businesses had planned to not to open their doors come Tuesday morning.
The storm was a dud comparatively. With school and most work cancelled, and a lift of the travel ban come 8am Tuesday morning, New Yorkers headed out for a snow day.
My thanks to Tony Northrup for giving me the heads up on the birding scene in Central Park.
Thanks for viewing photos of NYC during Juno blizzard - please share if you enjoyed them!

How a MicroLaserPeel removes years from your appearance
This superficial skin resurfacing laser treatment by Sciton works by removing the thin outer-layer of dead and damaged skin to uncover the healthy, younger-looking you beneath. What sets the MicroLaserPeel apart from other resurfacing treatments is its precision depth control, which allows for adjustments based on your specific skin concerns and needs.

During your MicroLaserPeel treatment, the beam is administered to the skin of your treatment area, removing the thin layer of damaged skin that is causing you to appear older or tired. Removing this layer of skin stimulates your body's healing response, resulting in the growth of new cells to create a new, healthier surface of your skin. Complete healing of the skin typically takes about 3-4 days, after which you will notice improvements in your skin's tone, texture, and color.
Most areas of skin can be treated with a MicroLaserPeel, including the face, neck, chest, and hands. Your MicroLaserPeel will be customized to treat both your unique skin type and your specific concerns. With shorter recovery times and quick, noticeable results, the MicroLaserPeel has come to be known as the perfect "weekend peel."

We always talk about guys missing time with bye weeks and having to scramble to find a replacement. But the bye weeks are over. Then there are the guys on the injury report, and when they go down, you find yourself in a fix. I'm looking at you Arian Foster, Julio Jones and Aaron Rodgers. Those three derailed fantasy seasons all on their own.
There are also guys that simply underachieve. I'm not talking about 12th rounders. I'm talking about guys you targeted in your draft or in a trade. Two words: Trent Richardson. The guy was a first-round pick and he's been triggering gag reflexes for 11 games. Ray Rice has been a mess this season. David Wilson was a disappointment when he was able to suit up, and now he's done for the season.
So it's Week 13, it could be that you finally need to take a chance on someone rather than go down with the S.S. Roddy White. Some may want to "dance with the guy you came with," but if he brought you to the dance on the back of his tricycle, I think you can ditch him at the punch bowl.
Below, I'll list a player with some upside for this week, their Week 13 matchup, and the percentage of leagues in which he is owned according to our friends at
DISCLAIMER – The hope is that you don't find yourself in a situation like this. The hope is that you dodge the bullet. But hope won't help you come Sunday.
Let's move on to this week's targets, keeping in mind that these aren't every week starters. Instead, these are guys that should only be used if you're in some kind of roster emergency. In case of emergency, break glass.
Josh McCown
at Minnesota – 23 percent. McCown has done a nice job filling in for Jay Cutler. With Cutler still on the mend, the Chicago Bears will look to McCown once again in a big divisional game in Minnesota on Sunday. Coming off a game in which he topped 300 yards and threw two touchdowns, McCown will look to keep the Bears atop the NFC North. Working in his favor is the fact that no team has been more generous to opposing fantasy quarterbacks than the Vikings, and that Bears defense hasn't been stopping anyone lately. We project 330 passing yards and two scores for McCown.
Ryan Fitzpatrick
at Indianapolis – 20 percent. Like McCown, Fitzpatrick has filled in adequately, stepping in when Jake Locker was lost for the season. He has no problem slinging it around the yard, but his challenge has always been decision-making. You'd expect more from a Harvard graduate, but he throws into coverage with the best of them. But with Kendall Wright and now Justin Hunter stepping up, they may have something in Tennessee. Indianapolis has looked kind of terrible over the past few weeks, getting torched by Case Keenum, Kellen Clemens, and even Fitzpatrick himself. We've projected 255 yards and two scores, and I like Fitzpatrick to outperform those numbers.
E.J. Manuel
vs. Atlanta – 20 percent. Manuel is now back and healthy. Two weeks ago, he burned the New York Jets for 245 yards and two scores, and now he gets an Atlanta defense that is much weaker against the pass. I expect Manuel to continue to put up numbers on Sunday, even with some rough weather and possibly some snow. Our site projects 230 yards and two scores for Manuel.
Running Back
Brandon Bolden
at Houston – 15 percent. Bolden found himself thrust into the limelight on Sunday night after both Stevan Ridley and LeGarrette Blount fumbled against the Denver Broncos. He came on to run 13 times for 58 yards and a score, and he figures to lead the committee this week in Houston. He should get plenty of opportunities, as the New England Patriots should have the lead for the majority of the game. Houston has been run over by Rashad Jennings and Maurice Jones-Drew in the last two weeks. I like Bolden's chances of matching the projected 60 rushing yards and a touchdown.
Benny Cunningham
at San Francisco – 19 percent. When Zac Stacy was knocked out with a concussion last week, Cunningham came on to run for 109 yards and score. Stacy is still going through the league's concussion protocols, and while the St. Louis Rams are hopeful he will be cleared for this week's game against San Francisco, they still don't know yet. Even if Stacy does suit up, Cunningham may still get some opportunities. While San Francisco is coming off a solid defensive game against Washington, it was against Washington. This is a situation to monitor, but I think Cunningham has a nice game if Stacy sits this week.
Dennis Johnson
vs. New England – 12 percent. When Ben Tate couldn't get anything started last week, Johnson came in to provide a spark against Jacksonville, running 13 times for 74 yards. It's important to note that the Jaguars are terrible against the run, but Johnson did enough to earn some more touches. Tate is still expected to start, but Johnson may get enough opportunities to make things interesting. Unfortunately, the Houston Texans are likely to trail most of the game, making Johnson more of a stash than a play for this week.
Wide Receiver
Julian Edelman
at Houston – 48 percent. Edelman has been inconsistent, as Tom Brady has spread the ball effectively. Edelman turned into Brady's security blanket on Sunday night, reeling in nine passes for 110 yards and a pair of scores. He hadn't found the end zone since Week 1 when he also caught two touchdowns. It's tough to count on that kind of production, especially since the New England Patriots figure to establish a lead early on versus the Texans. In any case, I like Edelman to outperform the projected 30 receiving yards, with him getting in the end one once again.
Justin Hunter
at Indianapolis – 6 percent. Hunter has been in the dog house for the majority of the year, not because of talent, but rather because he's a bit of a knucklehead. He had a big game last week in Oakland, catching six balls for 109 yards and a touchdown, and he's likely to have a similar role this week with Damian Williams expected to miss the game. As I mentioned earlier, the Colts defense has been roughed up lately, and I like Hunter quite a bit more than our projection of three catches for 40 yards.
Brandon LaFell
vs. Tampa Bay – 25 percent. LaFell is a hit-or-miss fantasy receiver, as he seems dependent on the big play for value. He's also the third option in the Carolina pass game, behind Steve Smith and Greg Olsen. With the Buccaneers coming to town, Cam Newton and all of his receivers get a boost. I like LaFell better than our projected 30 receiving yards, and I like him a lot more if Darrelle Revis is able to play and match up with Smith.
Good luck in Week 13.

…is Jim "The Evil J" Winter in January Magazine. He says some wonderful things about the book, and I appreciate the detail he goes into communicating what happens in the opening—and getting it right. There's a lot going on, and some earlier readers had trouble keeping things straight.
But Winter's not just patting me on the back. He brings up one detail that, for him, just didn't work. And it's something that has nagged at me ever since I wrote it, wondering if people would buy it. He's the first person to bring it up, so I know that while it works for most, it doesn't work for all. Which is fair enough. But in the end he seems won over by the novel:
In The Tourist, Olen Steinhauer has composed a hugely complex successor to The Spy Who Came in from the Cold. Unlike most espionage tales written in the years since that classic work first saw print in 1963, however, he manages to give his characters — even the most reprehensible ones — a human side and a degree of warmth. Spying is a nasty business that chews up and spits out the people involved in it. The Tourist shines a light on the mortal costs.

Charlotte, NC –-(Ammoland.com)- On July 1, Idaho's Office of the Attorney General sent a letter to all states requesting them to consider and establish recognition of Idaho's license to carry a concealed weapon and/or enhanced license to carry a concealed weapon.
Idaho recognizes valid concealed carry permits from all states, but these formal agreements allow Idaho residents with a valid license to carry a concealed weapon to legally carry a concealed handgun for self-defense in certain other states.
Since then, Idaho has entered into full concealed carry reciprocity agreements with 14 states, bringing Idaho's total number of reciprocity agreements to 19. Of the 14 new states, South Carolina and Wyoming opted to recognize only the enhanced license to carry a concealed weapon. Not all states have responded to the letter at this time, so please check back for updates. For a complete listing of states that currently recognize Idaho concealed carry licenses (both regular and enhanced-only), click here. Please note – several states recognize Idaho concealed carry licenses in addition to those listed at the provided link; however, these states do not have an official agreement with the state of Idaho at this time.
Keep in mind: While visiting a state that recognizes Idaho's concealed weapons license, Idaho CWL holders are still subject to all laws of the state or locality that regulate the carrying of a weapon or a firearm.
Earlier this year, House Bill 192 passed in both chambers of the Idaho Legislature unanimously. This bill was introduced by the House State Affairs Committee and advanced by Senator Chuck Winder (R-20) and state Representative Joe Palmer (R-20). HB 192 created an enhanced license to carry concealed weapons option for those applicants who choose to undergo additional training for more carry benefits, and created expanded opportunities for reciprocity between Idaho and other states. These improvements took effect on July 1.

Happy Birthday, War Is Over
We now frame Birthday Number One records and sheet music going back as far as 1947, when the first regular weekly music chart was published in
Melody Maker
newspaper and broadcast to the United Kingdom on Radio Luxembourg on Sunday nights. *
This was the era of rationing and scarcity. The pop charts were based on sheet music sales; that was how most people bought music after the war. Recorded discs were a relative luxury.
Many of the artists are familiar names at least: Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Vic Damone, the Andrews Sisters, Vera Lynn. Some of the songs too:
Riders in the Sky
Tennessee Waltz
Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer
(If I Knew You Were Comin') I'd've Baked a Cake
But the music is from a different world. The songs are orchestrated; the mood is jaunty, soothing or quietly sad; there is no hint of angry rebellion or teenage introspection; the lyrics are often romantic of course but, as with films of the day like
Brief Encounter
, any sexual content is euphemistic or hinted at in a way that is undetectable to the younger ear.
The songs reveal nothing much about how the singer feels about his or her life. Virtually none of the singers wrote the numbers they performed anyway; the singer-song writer didn't exist. The most popular songs were usually recorded by several different artists and it was the publishers and song writers who took home most of the cash.
And while lovers of classical music or more adventurous jazz among the educated classes may have turned their noses up, these songs were known, sung and listened to almost everywhere by almost everyone. The charts reflected the whole country's favourite tunes in a way that the current charts simply do not.
I listened to all of the Number One songs while adding the charts to our website and the question occurred to me: has the style and content of popular culture ever changed so dramatically over a 70 year period in our history before? Even the Romans, Vikings and Normans probably left the indigenous British to enjoy their folk songs of the day much as before.
But then again, so much about the popular songs of the day is familiar. There are forlorn songs of unrequited love, quietly satisfied ballads where the guy and the gal have come together and plan to stay that way forever, songs you are meant to dance to, irritating novelty tunes that stick in one's head for weeks, try as one might to dislodge them.
There are songs from the big films of the day:
Galway Bay
from John Wayne's
The Quiet Man
The Harry Lime Theme
from 1949's sensational thriller
The Third Man
, and
I Taut I Taw a Puddy Tat
from the Sylvester & Tweety Pie cartoons were all Number Ones.
American influence was huge: cool and exotic then as now. The massive if temporary wartime population of GIs in England changed our tastes a little, and country songs, smooth singers and Doris Day found an easy path to our living rooms, pubs and dance halls.
And as is true now, songs hung around the radios for a long time and could top the chart for months on end. So
Shape of You
by Ed Sheeran was Number One for 13 weeks last year? Bing Crosby's
Galway Bay
didn't move from the top spot for 22 weeks in 1948.
For all that, this isn't pop music as we know it. Not one of these songs
. That didn't happen until Bill Haley brought chaos to our cinemas in 1956 with
Rock Around the Clock
, followed in time by Tommy Steele, Buddy Holly, Lonnie Donegan and Elvis Presley. Teenagers got interested, and the grown-ups became a little confused although the steady supply of love songs and novelty tunes never dried up and continues to this day. The road always has a middle.
You can hear the tectonic plates shifting in two hit versions of
Slow Boat to China
. Kay Kyser's orchestra recorded a smooth, cool version in 1949 which helped the song become a huge hit. But the exuberant, wonderful Emile Ford and the Checkmates gave it a beat and made it
in 1960 albeit safely and pleasantly.
My favourite example of this is
Tennessee Waltz
. A huge hit in 1951 for Patti Page, it's a sad, haunting, beautiful, catchy song about the very moment a love is seen to be lost to a rival. Given to the irrepressibly cheerful Alma Cogan in 1964 it becomes brassy, upbeat, a little bit shouty - and no longer a waltz. I love it.
Most of the official reference books and websites listing pop charts begin in 1952 when the first charts based on sales of recorded music were published. Radio Luxembourg's
Top Tunes
chart was based on the sales of sheet music, which outsold records until the 1950s partly because the raw materials and factory space needed to make the discs were in such short supply in post-war Britain.
Since it was based on sheet music sales, the
Top Tunes
chart was a list of songs by particular writers not performers. In our chart listings on this website, we have shown the name of the singer or band who we consider to have been the most well known performer of each song.

Quentin Tarantino: The Hits You've Never Heard Before
The huge impact of the early films of Quentin Tarantino upon modern cinema is hard to argue against, but his " jukebox " approach to selecting music for those 1990s movies gave new life to a good few forgotten hits of the 1960s and 1970s. Unlike the 60s and 70s, it is hard to move these days without pop music being played somewhere as background noise, yet the catalogue of tunes one hears in shops, cafés, restaurants, at weddings, in the background of TV and

Whatever Happened to the 12-inch Single?
It's long enough ago and we all have different memories of 1980s pop music. Was it the Cure or Bon Jovi? Kylie & Jason or New Order perhaps. Phil Collins or Mel and Kim? But one thing they all have in common, and which arguably defined the 1980s, is the 12-inch vinyl single.

All Hail the U.S. Male?
By August 1977, the great teenage revolutionaries didn't mean a lot if you were a teenager. People's dads liked Elvis Presley; people's long-haired elder brothers liked the Beatles. Cliff Richard and the Stones were still chugging along. Old Elvis and Beatles songs briefly re-appeared in the Top 20 while their films were on television a lot of the time.

The KLF: Back Soon

The Abbas and the Papas
Abba were top of the charts 40 years ago while in April 1967 the Mamas and the Papas were No. 2 with what we would say is their finest moment -

. The similarities are delightful, although the Mamas rarely had success with the sweet gloom that Abba did so well.

Pick the singles chart that suits you
If you don't like the way streaming has changed the look of the national Top 40 pop charts, then you can ignore it and choose a different one instead. Think you should still have to "buy a single" for it to count? Believe the charts should just be based on vinyl single sales like they used to be?

It's about the people.
Hard to elaborate. But I will try...
In April, Operation Walk Syracuse went to Ghana, in sub-Saharan Africa, and traveled deep in-country to provide joint replacement surgery to a population of people who otherwise would never have access to that kind of technology.
And, this fall, currently, Operation Walk has traveled, once again, to Antigua Guatemala, to provide the same life-altering joint replacement surgery to a population that otherwise might never experience the benefits of that technology.
Over the past six months, I have tried to write objectively about this experience, because it is an incredible experience, and words simply don't describe it adequately. No, really... it's AMAZING.
However, as I walk upon the cobblestoned streets of Antigua Guatemala, a city renown for being one of the oldest in the Americas, I must face the truth that this Operation Walk trip is very different from that which visited Ghana in the spring.
There. I said it.
Ghana, as a nation, is perpetually at risk,: from poverty, from governmental disruption, from radical religious fundamentalism... but Ghana possesses a populace that is overwhelmingly appreciative of our contributions. The people of Ghana were truly indescribably appreciative of our efforts.
72 short hours in Antigua Guatemala, Guatemala have demonstrated that this is a nation with resources. I just spent an hour in a bustling nightclub in Antigua Guatemala.
*(OK. I am going to clarify one thing: the name of this city is "Antigua Guatemala, Guatemala." There is NO COMMA between those first two words. Listen: I was an English major back when correct pronunciation and punctuation really mattered. I am getting it right. Wlads: trust me.)
Antigua Guatemala It is among the most beautiful and charming cities on the globe, and its populace, driving their Volkswagen GTIs and Lexus crossovers... they get it. Seriously. They get it.
Remember Columbus? (See also: Columbus Day...). Columbus came through here. Granted, Columbus was a busy guy. He sailed from Spain... he enslaved hundreds...). He saw a lot of central America, and he probably saw more than he documented. But when you hear that Antigua Guatemala is one of the oldest cities in the Americas, you can believe it. It's amazing, and you should check it out.
Today, our first surgical day, we replaced 16 joints, in patients who otherwise would have never experienced joint replacement technology. Some had postoperative pain. Some had postoperative nausea. One guy, in his 70s, had both. Not pretty. But his right knee was straight, for the first time in 50 years.
It's about the people.
In Ghana, we replaced joints in people who had no money. They had no opportunity for advancement. They had nothing but a wildly crooked knee, or a horribly dysplastic hip, and pain. And when we left, they had none of those things.
In Guatemala, the same people had hip or knee replacement surgery, and, for the first time, they had a straight leg, they had a knee or hip that moved normally, and they had pain.
And that is literally all they had in common with their Ghanaian counterparts.
In Ghana, we rode in a van from the barbed-wire-reinforced hotel to the barbed-wire-reinforce hospital, and back.
And we replaced joints.
In Antigua Guatemala, we have walked the charmingly cobblestoned streets of Antigua Guatemala, from a lovely Italian restaurant, back to our four-star hotel with a feather bed and 102 channels of cable...
...and we have replaced joints.
... and I can tell you… our interaction with the patients has been EXACTLY THE SAME.
It's about the people.
They get it.
Maybe they have nothing. Maybe they have a little more than that. But not much more.
But they have need. They have a bad hip or knee that's simply impossible (no... IMPOSSIBLE) to live with. And we fix that.
Hey: We FIX that.
Today we replaced 16 joints. They all did great. That's pretty cool. Tomorrow, we are going to replace 20 joints. That's about 20% more cool. Anyway you slice it… It's pretty freaking cool.
It's about the people.
Whether they have nothing, or whether they have a little something... they need our help. And we can provide it. That's amazing. That's a gift that few people can provide. We are incredibly, immeasurably lucky.
By giving, we receive. (Come along with us...)
Today was surgical day number one. Tomorrow is surgical day number two. I am sitting on a dark street curb, on a beautiful, cobblestoned street, in the oldest city in the new world. And tomorrow, I will help replace 20 joints.
It's about the people.

Day 04 - Canyonlands National Park
Enjoy a morning trip to Castle Rock with spectacular views of Book Cliffs and Arches National Park – from the top of a mesa, enjoy views that extend out to Arches National Park, Colorado, and the La Salle Mountains. A lecture by a local Navajo connects you to the sacredness of the desert, to the ancient spiritual life that transcends today's world. Depart for the little town of Moab, then on to Canyonlands National Park, whose countless canyons, mesas and buttes shadow the Colorado River and the Green River. These rivers divide the park into four districts – today you'll explore the northern section, Island in the Sky, where among other formations you'll see a famed pothole arch, Mesa Arch, overlooking Buck Canyon. There is no better way to experience Canyonlands than at sunset – and the setting sun, during a picnic dinner at Dead Horse Point overlooking the U-turn in the Colorado River, is nothing short of inspirational.
Hotel: Red Cliffs Lodge (Breakfast and dinner)
Day 05 - Bryce Canyon

Day 06 - Zion
Another independent Dawn Patrol is available this morning – a hike along the rim of Bryce Canyon to catch the shocking array of colours illuminated by the first rays of light on the hoodoos below. More of a series of horseshoe "amphitheatres" than a canyon, morning walks reveal millions of pinnacles positively glowing. This afternoon, depart for Zion National Park; en route you'll learn about the park's complicated creation via a filmby Ken Burns, who shares his favourite memories of the park. Upon arrival, Ryan Paul, Curator of Frontier Homestead State Park Museum (formerly Iron Mission State Park), entertains with a lecture on "singaways" and the contribution of the Union Pacific Railroad to the story of the national parks.

Late afternoon, internationally acclaimed environmental historian and author Alfred Runte gives a talk on the history of the railroad in the national parks. This evening, you may choose to do an independent Sunset Scouts' visit to the Virgin River, a tributary of the Colorado River that earned the designation "wild and scenic".
Hotel: Zion Lodge (Breakfast and dinner)
Day 08 - Grand Canyon
Leave Zion, and en route to Grand Canyon National Park get a guided tour of fascinating Pipe Spring National Monument to learn about Paiute Indian and Mormon pioneer history.

The Shanghai Composite Index has been moving in the range of 2,800 and 3,200 points over the last three weeks. The market would turn south every time it rebounded close to 3,200 points, which has become a resistance level for the near term.
The benchmark slipped below the 3,000 level at one point on Sept. 15, but stabilized at the close. It could, however, slide again to the 2,800 mark in the coming days.
The market always reacts more dramatically to bad news than to good news, given the generally bearish sentiment. A state-owned enterprises (SOE) reform plan released last weekend has failed to inject any impetus. By contrast, rumors of clean-up of off-market financing have stoked panic.
The so-called off-market financing is actually margin financing and short-selling. Investors borrow money through financing companies to buy stocks. There are different estimates on the actual size of the off-market financing, ranging from 500 billion yuan to nearly 2 trillion yuan. Nevertheless, the rampant off-market financing has driven up the mainland market in the first half of this year.
As of September 11, authorities have cleaned up 3,255 accounts, representing 60.85 percent of the total accounts, in margin lending curb since this July. And there are 2,094 accounts yet to be cleaned up.
The market turnover of Shanghai and Shenzhen has continued to decline due in part to the deleveraging effort, falling from a peak of 2 trillion yuan to below 500 billion yuan.
The deadline of the "clean-up" move will arrive at the end of this month, which has re-ignited market fears that liquidity could contract further. The SOE reform plan has not given any boost for the market. The capital injected by the "national team" has failed to change the market direction.
Beijing has announced various measures to rescue the market in recent months. However, stocks have continued to trend downward.
State financial institutions and government funds — the so-called national team, have targeted financial plays and oil giants in their purchasing moves. This is the reason why, for example, China Life Insurance (601628.CN), Bank of Communications (601328.CN) and Agricultural Bank of China (601288.CN) outperformed on Sept. 15. The stocks lent some support for the Shanghai benchmark.
In contrast, the Shenzhen market, which is dominated by private and small firms, has largely been neglected by the "national team". As a result, the Shenzhen Composite Index has tumbled to the bottom of the year at 9,290 points, marking a drop of 16 percent so far this year.
The National Development & Reform Commission has announced a string of infrastructure projects, more than double the number announced in July and August. However, the news has only stimulated certain relevant stocks.
The A-shares market may not be able to find momentum anytime soon due to overwhelming negative sentiment, despite various stimulus measures from Beijing. The market may set new lows if there is no new incremental liquidity.
Investors do not believe in the "reform bull" story any more. Given this, the government should let the market proceed with the correction for a while.
A-shares have yet to reach the rebound stage in the short term. That said, it would be a good buying opportunity for long-term investors. They could gradually collect some stocks that can sustain high earnings growth, and wait for the market rebound.

Gays In The News: Murray Healy
Murray Healy joined burning torch-waving anarchists as they surrounded the Cereal Killer Cafe in East London's Brick Lane last weekend.
He is part of the Class War group who claim the brothers behind the diner draw in well-off "hipsters" from outside the area who are forcing up property prices and driving locals out.
But when The Sun on Sunday approached Healy, who was born in West Sussex, about buying and selling a flat for a £35,000 profit he threatened to throw urine on our reporter.
We confronted him at his £580,000 home in Kennington, South London, which was built by developers on the site of an ex-council block, the type of development Class War opposes.
Fashion mag editor Healy, 46, pulled out a bottle of yellow liquid and said: "This is a bottle of p*** and I'm going to pour it on you." ...
The Sun On Sunday.
Fagburn's close personal showbiz pal Murray, there.
PS Here's an interview with the fash mag slag - which omits his tenure at Boyz, surely a career zenith.
PPS Mr Healy's sublime book, Gay Skins: Class, masculinity and queer appropriation, was re-printed last year.
