I sent a belated card to my friend Berd last week. This card was a celebration card because she just had a birthday and also received a promotion with Stampin' Up! For her card I chose the stamp set, Color Me Happy which is a brand new set that is available only while supplies last.
I chose Lemon Lime Twist and Garden Green because Berd's favorite color is green. I colored the cute bird image with our brand new Stampin' Blends. These alcohol based markers just became available today and are currently available 26 exclusive Stampin' Up! colors plus a color lifter.
Here is a little introductory video about our new Stampin' Blends.
In addition to the new Stampin' Blends and Color Me Happy Stamp Set there is also a Color Me Happy Project Kit (144609) available. This adorable kit comes with all the supplies you need to create 16 cards using these fabulous new products.
If you are interested in finding out more about our Stampin' Blends be sure to let me know. I'd be happy to help you get your hands on these fabulous new markers as well as the adorable Color Me Happy stamp set.
It's funny that I designed a coloring card for Berd because she doesn't like to color. However her group name is Stamped With A Smile and she loves happy faces. So when I see the word "happy" I think of her and maybe when she tries these new markers she will discover that coloring can make you happy too! I know that's how it makes me feel.
Hope you all are having a happy day and a fabulous start to a new month.
Happy Stampin',

Eastern Columbia Building
During the past 21 issues, we've seen and covered a lot of Downtown. From City West to the Arts District, there's beauty on every corner but there has only been one building that truly sticks out as Downtown's jewel, the Eastern Columbia Building in the Broadway Theater District. As a Downtown based publication and design agency, there's no better place to be inspired than within this 1930s art deco building. Lucky for us, we're calling it our new home! We'll take gilded walls over exposed brick.
Together with Ferroconcrete, the branding and design agency that founded and incubates LA Downtowner, we've set up shop in this historic building where we continue to create award-winning branding, design strategy, and produce original content.
In the neighborhood? Come say hi.

Sauna Book Award and an Irish Poet
This weekend I had the distinct honor of watching my husband (and author Michael Nordskog) win Minnesota Book of the Year Award in the General Nonfiction category for their book, THE OPPOSITE OF COLD.
I've been waiting a long time to say that. Four years actually.
Four years ago, my awesome photographer husband, Aaron Hautala, and my awesome writing friend Michael Nordskog, hatched a book idea.
"Let's do a book on the northwoods Finnish sauna tradition," they said.
My husband, a Finn, and Nordskog, a sauna aficionado, declared this the most perfect plan ever, and so they pitched the idea to editor extraordinaire, Todd Orjala at the University of Minnesota Press. Over the gestation period of 48 months, give or take a few, THE OPPOSITE OF COLD was born.
Hundreds of Sauna photography shoots, one trip to Finland, millions of images, billions of words, several drafts, and the birth of two daughters (between our two families) occurred over the course of this book's creation. It has been a long haul, but watching Nordskog and my husband step forward, in front of more than seven-hundred literary moguls, publishers, editors, and their guests on Saturday night, made me shed more than a few proud tears.
Besides being overly proud of my my husband's accomplishment, I also had the distinct honor of meeting my new favorite poet. She was the guest poet at the awards event and I believe she won over even the most reticent literary moguls, coaxing them with lilting words and her sweet, unpretentious demeanor.
Welcome, if you will, Irish Poet Leanne O' Sullivan. She has done some AMAZING work. Bonus: she's Irish and her poems sound even more lovely when she recites them. Have a listen for yourself:
I had a chance to chat with her briefly at the awards event and I can honestly say she is one of the most warm and genuine writers I've ever met. While beautifully written, O'Sullivan's book, WAITING FOR MY CLOTHES does address some controversial issues, and she has been herald as a "young Virgil," by the poet Billy Collins. I look forward to reading her books for myself, but can only testify to their greatness from what small samplings I heard this weekend. I'll do a review when I get that far!
Here they are:
All of this to say, this week, I am especially proud to be among those who call themselves writers and readers.
And now, if you will please excuse me, I'm off to take a sauna and read some poetry in my sad-attempt at an Irish accent. Cheers!

Halaal fashion has become the new buzzword in the fashion industry as D&G, Nike and other major brands launch new collections of abayas and headscarves under their labels. In fact, Forbes called the launch by D&G, their "smartest move in years" and they have been hailed as 'progressive.'
For many, this was an exciting development in the fashion world but should this trend be applauded? Major fashion brands have made a calculated business moves empty of any real intention of being more inclusive of its Muslim clientele.
Look at the facts, D&G has 13 stores in the UAE and other surrounding Gulf states and the sales of luxury items in the Middle East reaching $8.7 billion in 2015 it is difficult to understand where the sincerity for inclusivity and not monetary standing reflects. Let us look further and you will notice that the sports collection in the ad campaigns has only Caucasian models. A fact many miss!
In essence, these brands are profiting and monopolising from something that does not belong to them. The pseudo incorporation of the hijab and abayas, pieces of clothing that many in the Western worldview as offensive and oppressive is providing them with monetary gain. Adding a bit of lace, ribbon and embroidering your name on it certainly does not change it from being oppressive and backwards to fashionable and beautiful.
The Western world views culture and faith as one and the same thing. This is yet another ploy as the fashion lines are marketed to the Middle Eastern clientele, a small but elite market, as opposed to the millions of Muslims in Africa, Asia and Europe.
And the Muslim world is amazed and impressed! What about the Malaysian Muslim fashion designers or the thousands of African, American and British fashion designers and bloggers that have been trying for decades to break into mainstream markets and pushing for inclusivity and representation in the fashion sphere? Where is the hype and talk about these women who share their passion for Muslim clothing and are creative, innovative and understand the needs of their fellow sisters?
Are we Muslim women allowing ourselves to be reduced to just the abaya and headscarf? Are we as Muslimahs perpetuating the lies of the Western world that Muslims women cannot enjoy the freedom to dress, be modest, follow trends and have fun with their clothing whilst keeping our religious laws?
More importantly, how can we allow those who stand in judgement of our religious dress code to understand our needs? Are we testifying that having a major brand fashion label attached to our clothing means it is more acceptable to us? This is subtle propaganda that distorts the narrative that many Muslim women within the fashion realm are trying to change.
As the world celebrates the so-called inclusion of the Muslim women into the fashion world, we fail to realise that we are being excluded and marginalised under the guise of "progressive thinking." Take away the recognised names from these lines and what we have are the same garments already created by Muslim and worn by Muslim women but not celebrated or acknowledged in the same manner.
Let's give the Muslim sisters the chance to flourish in this industry, by recognising their talent and skill and allowing them to stamp their names on the clothing we wear but more importantly let's put our stamp on the world as a united Muslim sisterhood in favour of our religious code which shows our love for our Creator.

Police said the four-year-old, who is wheelchair-bound and has cerebral palsy and epilepsy, requires urgent and ongoing medical attention. The boy's mother, an anti-vaccination campaigner, has previously written online that the boy has cerebral palsy and epilepsy.

The name is an Italian masculine first name, meaning
"strong friend" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Arduino . It's a microcontroller based on a PIC chip family of
microcontrollers. They have a small programme preloaded to make it possible to programme them from
a normal PC – generally in some variation of " C".
Arduino is an open source hardware and software project, created to be as simple as possible. Arduino is not some hardware you should be afraid of. It comes in a variety of flavors and sizes. It is used by artists, hackers, hobbyists, and professionals to easily design, prototype and experiment with electronics. Use it as brains for your robot, to build a new digital music instrument, or to make your house plant tweet you when it's dry. An Arduino contains a microchip, which is a very small computer that you can program. You can attach sensors to it so that it can measure conditions (like how much light there is in the room). It can control how other objects react to those conditions (room gets dark. LED turns on).
The project is based on microcontroller board designs, produced by several vendors, using various microcontrollers. Microcontrollers use inputs and outputs like any computer. Inputs capture information from the user or the environment while outputs do something with the information that has been captured. A switch and a sensor could be a digital and an analog input respectively into the Arduino. Any object we want to turn on and off and control could be an output. It could be a motor or even a computer. These systems provide sets of digital and analog input/output (I/O) pins that can interface to various expansion boards, which are often called "shields", and other circuits. The boards feature serial communication interfaces, including Universal Serial Bus (USB) on some models, for loading programs from personal computers. For programming the microcontrollers, the Arduino project provides an integrated development environment(IDE) based on a programming language named Processing, which also supports the languages C and C++. The Arduino language is very similar to C. It's almost the same language but Arduino provides us with several libraries to make things a bit easier.

Welcome to the 100 Journal
At the beginning of 2016 I set myself the challenge to take 100 portraits. It was borne out of absolute boredom in the aimless recovery time following a minor op in the Autumn of 2015. Boredom can be just what you need sometimes, even though it may not feel it at the time.
The project turned into a time consuming beast, which is no great surprise given the challenge and sometimes I think, If I'd known at the time just how much effort it would take to complete it, I may never have started. So I just jumped straight into the project without a second thought and made it happen.
One thing I hadn't anticipated was just how broad the range of people I'd photograph would be or where the project would take me. I thought I'd struggle to find subjects, particularly if I was asking people who I had had no previous connection with. But nearly everyone I contacted was more than happy to give up some of their time to have their portrait taken which I found incredible.
The common theme that kept cropping up as I met people throughout the year, were the snippets of life stories that people shared with me. It's these stories that I felt were missing from the final collection of photographs. I completed the challenge by the end of that year with a 100 portraits in the bag but wishing I'd thought to gather people's stories along the way.
Two years on and it feels like the time is right to start revisiting some of the original 100 portraits and to see how things have changed for people in that time. I also plan to start finding new people to photograph and talk to and continue the 100 projects in a small way. So I shall gather these images and stories here on this blog. I hope you enjoy!

Israel and Jordan are joining forces to produce biofuel from agricultural waste in a project which will be showcased at Israel's Water Technologies and Environmental Control Exhibition (WATEC) this November. Run in cooperation with the Peres Center for Peace and using German technology, the project produces biofuel energy without harming food production and offers an alternative for removal and treatment of agricultural waste.
According to a report published on Green Prophet, the proposed project aims to naturally generate 8 million liters of biofuel from over 15,000 tons of dry organic waste, while running exclusively on its own independently produced energy and emitting no pollutants. Biofuels received negative publicity last year after farmers began growing crops solely for the production of bio-fuel rather than food, and were blamed with sparking the global food crisis.

There was a house on a hill in the city and it was full of us, our family, but then it began to empty. We fell out. We made a mess. We draped ourselves in blame and disappointment and lurched around, bumping into each other. Some of us wailed and shouted; some of us barely made a sound. None of us was listening, or paying attention. And in the middle of it all you, very quietly, were gone. Helen and John are too preoccupied with making a mess of their marriage to notice the quiet ways in which their daughters are suffering. Junie grows up brittle and defensive, Anna difficult and rebellious. When fifteen-year-old Anna fails to come home one night, her mother's not too worried; Anna's taken off before but always returned. Helen waits three days to report her disappearance. But this time Anna doesn't come back ...
A spellbinding novel in the tradition of Helen Garner, Charlotte Wood and Georgia Blain, Islands is a riveting and brilliant portrait of a family in crisis by the breathtakingly talented author of House of Sticks and Hope Farm.
Peggy Frew's first novel, House of Sticks, won the Victorian Premier's Literary Award for an Unpublished Manuscript by an Emerging Victorian Writer, and was shortlisted for the UTS Glenda Adams Prize for New Writing. Hope Farm, her second novel, won the Barbara Jefferis Award, was shortlisted for the Stella Prize and the Miles Franklin Literary Award, and longlisted for the International Dublin Literary Award. She has been published in New Australian Stories 2, Kill Your Darlings, Meanjin and The Big Issue. Peggy is also a member of the critically acclaimed and award-winning Melbourne band Art of Fighting.

Rams defensive lineman Ethan Westbrooks was arrested Sunday in Sacramento on suspicion of felony domestic violence, police said.
Westbrooks, 26, was released Monday, according to the Sacramento County Sheriff's Dept. website.
"We are aware of the serious allegations involving Ethan Westbrooks," the Rams said in a statement Monday night. "We are in contact with authorities and are gathering more information. Per team policy, we will continue to respect the legal process and have no further comment at this time."
In a news release, the Sacramento Police Dept. said it received a call Sunday at 9:06 p.m. regarding a custody dispute of a juvenile child.
Officers arriving at the scene observed that a woman had suffered upper-body injuries, the release said. The officers investigated and determined that the woman had been injured during a domestic violence incident involving the father of her child, the release said.
Officers went to another residence and located Westbrooks, where they took him into custody, the release said.
Westbrooks played high school football near Sacramento and at Sacramento City College before transferring to West Texas A&M. He signed with the Rams as an undrafted free agent in 2014.
Last season, Westbrooks played in 16 games, starting two, and made 24 tackles. He returned a fumble 77 yards for a touchdown against Tampa Bay.
Westbrooks is due to become a restricted free agent. Free agency begins Thursday.

Loved the small family type setting. Loved the " no facility look and no facility smell" It seemed very homey. They were so nice and welcoming. Many activities for mom to do.
Bickford of Crystal Lake was number 3 of our final 3 choices for my father, who lives independently, and his wife, who requires assistance. They were looking for an apartment where they could live together; however, those that were available were too small, and my father expressed that he was not comfortable in such a small space. Bickford is inviting and homey, and the grounds were beautiful. I think that it would be a wonderful community for those who require assistance with daily tasks; however, my father is more independent than most of the residents we observed. He felt that it was not a good fit for them.
Stopped by on the spur of the moment. They were nice enough to give me a tour. Memory area small # of residents. Very clean. Their assisted living is much bigger. Looks like good selection of food but I didn't get to try it. Bring your own furniture. Pricing is not straight [removed] rate for room+care rate +community fee. More expensive than others.Private pay only. Is a great place.
Home-style environment
I love Bickford for its home-style environment, small resident size and professional staff. Mom attends activities with the caregiver's assistance, however, does not remember what she has done when asked later.

Staff could use better communication!!
My wife has recently made the move into this community but is currently in the hospital due to health reasons for a short period of time. I am a little disappointed in the staff right now as it is impossible for me to communicate with them. Every day when I call I seem to get the run around and passed around instead of the answers that I need for my wife to return.

Nice experience in her last days.
The staff at Bickford made my loved one feel very comfortable in her last days while she was there. Everything went very well.

Other Communities Couldn't Compare
We toured a few communities but none of them gave us the feeling that this one did. The community just gives off a feeling that your family there. The staff and residents seem generally happy and they enjoy each other. They offer a lot of activities to do. The food seems ok mom is not a big eater anyway so it would be hard to judge.

Smaller community!!
I have no complaints about the tour I had taken at this community for my father. The staff where on time to our tour and made sure to accommodate our needs during our visit. The facility was a lot smaller then a lot of them I had looked at but the only problem was they did not have respite available in the memory care unit.

Helpful Staff!!
I have no complaints about how things are going for my mother since she moved into this community. The staff are friendly and attentive to her needs as well as comforting. She has had no problems with the meals and enjoys participating in activities with the other residents from time to time. Overall we are pleased and would recommend it to anyone.

Good Tour of This Community
My tour of this community was a good one. The community looked nice. Everything looked well-kept. The staff I met was nice, and friendly. Everyone was kind to my family, and myself. It was a good experience, but it wasn't the one for my mother, and her needs.

My mother is still adjusting to all of the changes. The Bickford of Crystal Lake has been wonderful, I do not live in the same state but over the phone, they sound like they're caring and taking care of my mother.

So far All is Well
This is a nice community, and so far my mother is doing well since her move here. She is safe, and receiving good care. They have good staff at this facility. I know she is in good hands. So far everything is working out pretty well for my mother at this community.

Very nice active community!
The community at Bickford of Crystal Lake is wonderful. The community offers a variety of activities for the residents to enjoy. They offer activities for the families of residents to partake with their loved ones. They encourage family gatherings and invite families to join in. The staff that offered the tour were very friendly and accommodating. They were kind enough to offer us a meal when we took the tour.

A Great Place to Live and Visit!
My sister and I are extremely happy with Bickford of Crystal Lake, IL. This is a community in the truest sense of the word. Our Mother has been thriving in this environment, and we would highly recommend this community to anyone who has a family member in need of memory care assistance. We really are fortunate, and we were most impressed at how quickly Bickford made room for our Mother who was briefly in a not very satisfactory place. They sensed our urgency in getting her relocated and took the ball and ran with it. Special cudos to Debbie and Flavia in making that happen so quickly. And huge thanks to the nurses and regular staff members who are so caring and attentive to our Mother's special needs. We are so happy to welcome the new year 2016, knowing that our Mom is getting the best care possible!

Very good
The only reason we chose another community was that there was just more light at the other one, but this one was also very nice, very good. It was lovely, very lovely, but just a little less like home, but we really liked this community.

Sharon was very informative and personable. Answered questions easily, involved other staff with tour, excellent room sizes and configurations, both in assisted living as well as memory care area. Discussed fees, med dispensing, nursing staff availability, activities, safety, dining, other residents and more. This facility is #2 on my final list

Visited Bickford on a drop in visit and met with director. Place seemed very nice, no smells except syrup, clean, lots of sitting areas with couches. Presented itself as a "home" environment not hospital like. Dresses all patients and has them up and about. Memory care unit Ratio of 1:7 staff. full nurse on staff. Happy CNAs. 14 units for memory care. Like a family. Monthly fee is $5300+ - $6190 Level one or two rates. Does NOT provide any furniture..even a bed.

Very nice. Rooms have limited space for Mom's belongings and clothing. Public lounge spaces are limited, but perhaps enough. Very family-like feel. Could deal with dog, but did not get into extra charges associated with the dog. Good location. A lot of social activities. Subsequent to tour, Social Director followed up- good conversation. Invited us over for a picnic.

We began our quest into senior living because of our love for our beloved mother, Mary Bickford, whose needs became too great for us to manage. As we researched senior living options, we were shocked at our findings. The options offered too much or too little – none met her needs and nothing felt like home. Since we couldn't find what we wanted, we decided to create what we needed. Our main desire was to create a place that helped her achieve an equivalent peace and happiness that she had earlier in her life.
We understand that selecting a senior living community for your loved one is one of the toughest decisions that you will ever face. We will work with you to ensure that the transition is as easy and comfortable as possible. Whether your loved one is at home, in the hospital or even in another state, we can work with your hospital, insurance company, and doctor to make your difficult decision easier on you and your family. Aging can be difficult – but we've also seen the beauty in aging. Our mother's happiness inspired us. We created Bickford for her and now we're devoted to serving yours. We look forward to meeting you soon.

By Schmoel Yitzhak
According to my weathered edition of Roget's Thesaurus, there are more than forty synonyms for the word STUPID.
A couple of my favorites are addlebrained, boneheaded, empty-minded, rattlepated and thick-witted.
After reading a communique from Washington, D.C., I will submit yet another alternate to duncical.
Leon Panetta.
His official, diplomatic title is United States Defense Secretary. But based on his most recent statements, Panetta sounds as if he's auditioning for the role of Dopey Dildock.
In a prepared statement to reporters, Panetta called on Israel to take diplomatic steps to address what he described as its growing isolation in the Middle East.
Now, wait just a minute, can Panetta --= this latest mistake appointment by erroneous president Barack Obama -- be serious?
Consider for a moment the possible countries from which Panetta would like Israel to de-isolate itself. Let's start with the next-door neighbors.
Bashar al-Assad's country is at war with itself. Conservatively, more than 4,000 Syrians have been killed by Assad's regime. Does Panetta suggest that Benjamin Netanyahu embrace the mass murderer? Even his Arab brothers have turned their backs on the Syrian.
Hezbollah, itching to start another war with Israel, runs the country with a little help from the Lebanese Army which seems to exist only to assist Hassan Nasrallah. Lebanon's last "gift" to Israel was a rocket attack on the Galillee. I guess that rules out any lovey-dovey moves with Israel's Northern neighbor.
That would be a possibility if the year was 1948 and a megalomaniac such as Recep Tayyip Erdogan did not exist. As Panetta knows only too well, over the past year Erdogan's attitude toward Israel has escalated from hostile to malevolent to poisonous.
The Muslim Brotherhood is in the process of taking control of the nation previously run by Hosni Mubarak. What do we know about this group? Well, the respected Simon Wiesenthal Center has this to say about the group that will lead Egypt's next government: The Brotherhood is an enemy of democracy and peace, is hostile to Israel and -- in time -- will kill the Egyptian-Israel peace treaty.
One group makes no bones about its desire to wipe Israel off the map while the other wants to form a "unity government" with the group that wants to exterminate Israel. Both Hamas and the PA militantly refuse to recognize Israel as the Jewish state.
That takes care of every single country surrounding Israel. Each one has deliberately chosen to isolate Israel while the Middle East's only legitimate democracy would have to surrender Tel Aviv, Haifa and Jerusalem to satisfy the Arabs and to end what Panetta calls its "isolation."
Surely, the U.S. Defense Secretary knows better but he works for a president whose behavior toward Israel in virtually every area of meaningful security is either blatantly or -- depending on the occasion -- subtly hostile.
Panetta: "Unfortunately, over the past year, we've seen Israel's isolation from its traditional security partners in the region grow."
Is this man sane? When one considers the obvious facts, can one take this man seriously?
Assad is busy slaying his own countrymen by the thousands. If he wasn't so distracted by a Civil War, he'd love to slay Israelis.
Nasrallah is stockpiling bigger and longer-range rockets and -- guess what? -- they're not being aimed at Iran.
Erdogan has spent the last year trying to find ways and means to goad Israel into war.
The Muslim Brotherhood enjoys Jew-hating as its national pastime.
Hamas-Fatah would end Israel's isolation if Mahmoud Abbas took over the Knesset and Bibi was exiled to Norway.
That should explain why "stupid" is an understatement in describing Panetta's formula for ending Israel's "isolation!"

$2,249.00 $2,495.00
The Shelford 5052 echoes the simple and definitive 1073 feature set with a vertically-oriented mic pre, high pass filter, and 3-band inductor EQ, while also incorporating modern capabilities like the variable Silk / Texture control from the Portico II Series and simultaneous pre / post "tape" operation. Utilizing class-A, discrete, +/- 24V topologies with custom-wound transformers and inductors, Rupert Neve designed the 5052 as a vintage-style channel strip that captures the soul of his classic designs, without the previous compromises.
The 5052 preamplifier has 72dB of discrete, class-A gain coupled with serious square-core transformers. The output transformer features the Silk Red / Blue and Texture controls from the Portico II Series to hone the harmonic content and tonality of the output stage. The mic pre section also includes a sweepable 20-250Hz high-pass filter, Mic / Line selection, 48V phantom power, and polarity reverse.
The 5052 has a transformer-coupled output, which allows the 5052 to feed a tape machine or DAW directly from the mic pre while still using the EQ and Silk / Texture in a dedicated analogue mix path such as that found with a 5088, 5060 or vintage console. This output can also be used to insert a separate compressor between the mic pre and the EQ, or it can allow the 5052 to work with two separate sources.
The low frequency band can be used as either a shelf or a peak filter, adding punch, dimension, and immense control to your low end. The 5052's inductor midrange band is ideal for sweetening vocals and instruments while bringing them forward in a mix. Additionally, the mid frequency band's proportional "Q" response makes it well-suited for minimizing problematic frequencies in a source.
The 5052 receives +/- 24V rails from an external DC power supply using a 4-pin connection. There are currently two options available: the RND 5-way brick supply and the RND 25-way 2U rack-mount supply. The back panel of the 5052 includes three XLR-F connections for Mic In, Line In, and EQ In, and two XLR-M connections for Mic Out and Main Out. The 5052 chassis is a "half-rack" format, and can be mounted in RND's new 2 –way and 4-way vertical racks in addition to the existing 9-way racks and the 5088 penthouse.

An estimated 25 percent of all school children in the United States have some type of vision problem significant enough to affect daily life and school performance. Similarly, despite the proliferation of hospital-based newborn hearing screening programs, a significant number of children with possible hearing loss are not receiving prompt diagnosis and treatment. Children enrolled in Medicaid are entitled to a comprehensive array of preventive and ameliorative care through the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit. As states have increasingly turned to managed care entities (MCEs) to fulfill their Medicaid administration obligations, these companies are charged with affirmative duties to ensure children receive EPSDT benefits. A new report surveys the contracts governing states' relationships with MCEs to document the extent to which the contracts address children's hearing and vision services and how these services are monitored.

A proposed motorcycle helmet law in New Mexico would allow motorcyclists the choice of not having to wear a helmet if they paid a fee of $692 when registering their motorcycle. Proponents of the law sought to strike a balance between individual liberties and protecting the public's health; opponents felt the law was discriminatory towards motorcyclists.

New local independent Record Store! Hundred Records/
We are very excited that our customers now have a nearby independent local record store to cater for all their musical needs!
Hundred Records in Romsey opened last November and offers a wide range of music on both CD and vinyl!
This is great news for the increasing number of customers who have bought turntables from us and are either re-engaging with the unbeatable sound of vinyl and wanting to add to their album collection or those new to LPs and starting from scratch .... as it were!
Take a look at the store website www.hundredrecords.com and pop along to Hundred Records, 47 The Hundred, Romsey, SO51 8GE.
Browsing through LPs and CDs is a far more pleasurable experience than buying on line and you are sure of a friendly welcome from Mark.

We've already experienced a 100 degree day here in Michigan. It's been an unseasonably warm, sunny May, and we've been outside from sun up till sun down planting our lavender field for our U-Pick season.
My 19-month-old daughter has inherited mine and my father's pale Irish skin, which when exposed to the sun, rather than tanning, it turns red and then later peels…nice! Needless to say, we go through sunscreen in this house like water.
Not only is store-bought sunscreen expensive, it's also filled with chemicals. Your skin is your largest organ and something doesn't sit right with me in lathering my family head-to-toe in ingredients I can't pronounce.
Over the years I've done research on homemade sunscreens and they all have one thing in common; Non-Nano Zinc Oxide.
What is Non-Nano Zinc Oxide?
"Zinc oxide is found in the Earth's crust as natural mineral zincite." TrueNatural.com Unlike chemical sunscreens, Zinc oxide creates a physical barrier on the skin. The zinc reflects the sun away from the skin and blocks the rays.
Non-Nano is a fancy word meaning that the zinc particles are not fine enough to enter the bloodstream. So it safely sits on top of your skin and is not absorbed.
I found my package of Non-Nano Zinc oxide on Amazon.
Beeswax in Self-care Products
When making your own health and beauty products, beeswax can be a very useful ingredient. When thinking of beeswax, think waterproof and lending a solid texture at room/body temperature. Many times when making these kinds of products you're adding lots of liquid oils like olive, sweet almond or grape seed. Coconut oil also has a melting temperature right around body temp. So to give products like lip balm, deodorant or in this case, sunscreen a more solid texture, beeswax is perfect!
To learn how to render your own usable beeswax from your hives visit my post Mind Your Beeswax
It also gives the sunscreen waterproofing power. So if you're planning a day at the beach this sunscreen should stay on in the water as well as most sunscreens. (check often to see if re-application is needed) As far as I can tell, the zinc oxide provides an SPF of around 30.
After reading through lots of recipes online, I finally settled on one from the YouTube Channel Farmhouse on Boone.
olive oil
shea butter
coconut oil
non-nano zinc oxide
cocoa butter, optional
A ¼ cup of each will fill an 8oz mason jar.
Directions: Melt all oils over a double boiler. Add Zinc Oxide. Let cool till it starts to solidify then whip it with a whisk to give it a creamy-white texture. You can add soothing essential oils like lavender too.
We used this sunscreen exclusively over the Memorial Day weekend. My daughter was outside playing in her new kiddie pool and sandbox most of the weekend and has absolutely no evidence of sun exposure whatsoever. I applied it to her in the morning and again in the afternoon when the sun was really direct.
How does it feel?
I'd compare it to a commercial sunscreen in feel. It starts out a bit greasy but absorbs quickly as you rub it in. It does not break out my face at all.
The zinc oxide also gives your skin a very subtle translucent film. If you're careful to rub it in well, it's not noticeable at all.
I shared this recipe on our Iron Oak Farm Facebook page and a few readers made it. They agreed that the texture was very nice and the white color disappeared after rubbing thoroughly.
To be honest…I'm completely sold on this product. I really don't see buying commercial sunscreen again. If you try it, let me know what you think!
The same day I made this sunscreen, I also made a batch of homemade deodorant. For the recipe on that check out my post Beeswax in Your Armpits.

Does this sunscreen prevent tanning? Or does beeswax itself prevent a tan? Thanks. 🙂

In the three plus years that Bron and I have been together, I've never known him to have more than a banana for his breakfast before going to work in the morning. Actually, neither of us have ever really bothered with breakfast, as that little bit of extra sleep has always won out over food. But suddenly, since being made redundant in August, he's discovered the power of breakfasting.
It sounds like a good thing – and it is a good thing, I suppose. That mysterious 'they' always say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, after all. Except that Bron's new breakfast fetish means he - or we - have started buying three key ingredients we never really bought before: milk (plastic bottle), Kellogg's Special K cereal (cardboard box, but plastic bag inside), and walnuts (plastic bag). Not exactly reducing our plastic intake.
How did this happen? I can't exactly stop him, but I must admit I feel somewhat annoyed about it.
And then I find myself pouring out a bowl of cereal when I get home from work, 'Just to tide me over until tea is ready.' Damn! So now I'm helping him get through this plastic badness even quicker. Besides which, I've been reading Felicity Lawrence's book 'Eat Your Heart Out' which has some very bad things indeed to say about cereals. I feel so wrong on so many counts, but temptation is such a hard thing to conquer.
I must try harder to convince Bron of his evil plastic and breakfasting ways, except my track record on this count is rather slim to date as he seems to have developed immunity to my charms. I guess he knows me too well and can see what's coming… I'll have to think up some new tactics.

ZigZag is a podcast hosted by Manoush and Jen, founders of Stable Genius Productions. They're documenting the process of starting a media company while trying not to simultaneously become bad mothers, bankrupt themselves, or destroy their wonderful creative partnership.
Meet the Stable Geniuses
Manoush and Jen just formed a new kind of media company. But is it possible for them to simultaneously be entrepreneurs, mission-driven journalists, and good mothers without falling off a financial cliff? They quit their public radio jobs to find out. Just as panic starts to set in, they meet a mysterious funder with an intriguing proposal.
Men, Women and Vulnerability
With Civil's token launch looming, Manoush and Jen go for one last gut check with the guys who helped inspire their meta journey: Alex Blumberg and Matt Lieber, co-founders of Gimlet Media. Season One of their hugely successful podcast StartUp documented Alex and Matt's own entrepreneurial highs and lows. But the two women want to know: how did living out loud affect their psyches and families? And does gender change the story?
Listening to Anthony Bourdain
Anthony Bourdain did a very unusual interview a few months before his death: he spent an afternoon with Maria Bustillos, founder of Popula.com and the first journalist to join the Civil platform. Now, for the first time, Maria shares her audio recording of their time together; hear Bourdain's take on Obama, his choice words for other celebrities, and why he felt he could never share his happiest travel moments with his TV audience.
"ZigZag looks like a dry prospect but there is drama and jeopardy in spades, and Zomorodi's wryness and warmth as a presenter ensure we are rooting for her to succeed." - Financial Times

At lunch today, a friend asked how he could do a better job of being a marketplace minister. He said he struggled with his "calling" and his daily ministry at work.
We either struggle or we simply check out. If you struggle, you're making progress. And if you don't struggle with being a marketplace minister, you're probably not in the marketplace or you don't consider yourself a minister. Besides, I'm not sure I would trust anyone who said they were a good marketplace minister . We cannot live up to the call of God. He has a tremendous job for us. We would never succeed except in his power and might. But he also gives us joy and peace as we struggle and follow him. We're never as good as we could be but we can experience great joy simply pursuing God and fumbling along.
As we talked, I thought of 5 daily actions that will put any marketplace minister in a position to see God create meaningful outcomes.
In full disclosure, I haven't done a very good job of being or doing the very things listed below, either. No one will do as well at these actions as we would like, but we all have to start somewhere.
The 5 daily actions I thought of are that we can pray, appreciate others, know what we believe, serve others, and speak for ourselves. Every day we can do these and provide quality work for our employers. Let's explore each, the first 2 in this post and the last 3 in our next post.
Pray Daily
Everything starts with prayer. God is in charge and he is working his plan. When we pray, we tell God we're available. We punch in. We submit to his guidance to make us into the people he wants to use. We conform our lives to his and we begin to love what he loves. We pray for our coworkers, too. God will give us a heart for others and he will also give us ideas of how to pray for others and what actions we can take as his helper. Everything begins with prayer.
Appreciate People Daily
When you're praying, ask God to give you an appreciation for everyone you meet and the people you interact with daily. Some may rub you the wrong way. Others may even be enemies. But remember, God created them and he was happy when he did it. Find what God enjoys about each person. Make it a game. Try to find things to appreciate. Notice things about people. What do they enjoy? Have you noticed what makes them smile? What changes their demeanor? Some people who are quiet may get excited when you talk about their kids. Others who are boisterous or controlling may behave differently after you listen carefully to them. Appreciate people. Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also (Matthew 5:21).
Until our next post, pray for your friends and coworkers and ask God to show you what he appreciates about them. We all want to be with people who appreciate us. Each person is created in the image of God and we can find things to appreciate about them. So, for now, pray and appreciate and then check out part 2 next.

Closing Oceano airport
Los Osos developer Jeff Edwards recently advertised a "public meeting" at Rabobank in Grover Beach for Wednesday, March 17, to discuss his plans for the Oceano County Airport.
I attended that meeting ... make that I "tried" to attend that meeting, so I could learn what his ideas are. It turned out that Edwards controlled who came to his meeting. As far as the public was concerned, we were told we couldn't come in. So 50 or so of us who were denied entry stood outside and talked about what a country we live in where a person can claim to have invited the public and then deny them entrance.
All I can say is that Edwards must think the public (who own that little airport) are really stupid and will give him permission to put millions of their dollars in his pocket.
Someone is putting up significant dollars to try and destroy the Oceano airport and deprive this community of something that is nonreplaceable. It would be my guess that this money is coming in from outside the county and is to be used through Edwards to try to influence the Board of Supervisors.
I wonder who is footing the bill?

Vital children's program
I am writing to commend the City of Arroyo Grande's Children in Motion program. At a time when we are bombarded with reports of neglected/endangered children and when state budget cuts threaten the quality of our children's educations, it's reassuring to know that on a local level, our city leaders are committed to our children's well-being.
The Children in Motion program fills a need for dependable, quality child care that not only keeps our children safe and engaged in fun, challenging activities, but also enables parents to work and contribute to the community with the assurance that the program reflects local values and interests while building upon the top-notch educations our area schools provide.
The commitment of the staff is evident in the wide variety of activities offered and in the individualized attention the children receive.
Although the program most directly benefits the families served, it also provides a vital service to the entire community in keeping our children safe, engaged and out of trouble; in complementing the efforts of our overburdened school teachers; and in reinforcing the sense of community our area is known for.

Classes should stay free
I only partially agree with your editorial "Fees better than loss of classes" (March 11) regarding the upcoming plan to charge for classes in Cuesta College's Emeritus Program for people over age 50.
Yes, class fees may be fair for all who attend Cuesta College as students seeking degrees or certificates or people who only want to expand their knowledge of the world and their friendship circles.
However, the Emeritus Program allows low-income seniors the same opportunities open to those who can afford memberships in health clubs like Kennedy Club Fitness, classes at the Osher Institute at Cal Poly or classes costing money via city recreation departments and at private studios of music, art, dance, etc.
The Emeritus free classes leveled the playing field. Now I fear the playing field will be bumpy and lower-income seniors will have to do without the classes or go without some essentials. I did note that scholarships will be offered and can only hope that your readers will generously support this effort to help.

Listen to your soul
How much did it cost taxpayers for morons to mail out 120 million census letters telling us we will receive a census letter next week? We know who the head moron is because he signed the letter: Robert M. Groves, Director, United States Census Bureau. This is one of the reasons why the national debt rises out of control. Every government agency deliberately spends more than it has so they can ask for more next year. As their departments grow, so do their salaries and their illusions of grandeur.
Human systems of government do not work and may never work for everyone. Personal peace is the best we can hope to achieve, so choose ethical investing. Our life and our death will go more smoothly if we invest in food crops than if we invest in weapons and exploitation of others. Don't wait until you are on your deathbed before you realize the harm and pain your actions may have caused to others. Listen to your soul.

No second chances
I am writing with a sad and heavy heart. I've grown tired of hearing about innocent, beautiful children being hurt and killed by multiple sex offenders.
Why do these people get more than one chance? I understand that there's always a possibility that someone could be wrongfully convicted. However, with the new DNA technology, I feel the odds of wrongful conviction have changed drastically. Our laws should state if you hurt a child (for example: rape, murder or molest), you must be in prison forever. Period.
There should be no good behavior, no second chances and no reduced sentences. I am done with turning on the news and hearing these gut-wrenching stories. I've reached the point in my heart where I am going to start holding my law-making representatives fully accountable for these horrific crimes. At this point, the ball's in their court.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18):
Let your inner social butterfly out to play. Friendships and social gatherings will be a priority, but you may have to strike a balance between obligations and wants. Under pressure from others, you could realize a limitation of being in a physical world; you can't be in two places at once. It's okay to say no. Prioritize your activities according to meaning.
Mercury is retrograde until December 6, and you could have slight professional detours. If so, take a break and refocus. Pushing forward in a time of reprieve results in frustration. Follow the flow. Jupiter in Sagittarius helps expand your future vision. Brainstorm and your innovative ideas could soon pay off.
With the extra motivation needed to improve finances, think about shifting your energy around money before taking practical steps. One of the best ways to do that is to help someone in need or contribute to your favorite cause. Ritualize the process by practicing gratitude. Another way to shift money energy is to release shame about past decisions or debt. Start 2019 with a clean slate by committing to feeling more prosperous.
Challenging conversations with your partner early in the month could lead to minor misunderstandings. By December 16, you will reach an understanding. Draw closer to one another as 2018 ends by focusing on your connecting points instead of challenges. If you are single, enjoy your freedom as you balance an active social life with you time. If a lover from the past wants to reconnect, then proceed with caution.

Common Questions
Where am I staying on this trip?
You'll be staying at various local three to five star hotels or lodges along your route, some of which are very iconic properties with great locations, views and history. All our accommodations are carefully selected by our Canadian Insiders. We'll make sure that wherever you stay, you get the best value and comfort based on the seasonal availability.
What is included in the price?
Typically we include and pre-book all your main trip components so you don't have to worry about your connections, places to stay, or activities on your trip. You'll receive a complete travel package with detailed documentation and our Canadian Insiders remain at your disposal before and during your trip to answer your questions.
Can I customize this trip?
Your trip can be as rich as you'd like, and completely arranged around your interests and needs. The greatest benefit of working with us is our local knowledge. You can request your personalized trip plan to decide what you'd like to see and do.
If your trip is a special occasion, we'll make sure it is unforgettable. Or if you're traveling with a group, we'll take care of the logistics so you can share time together stress-free.
What are the best ways to travel around Canada?
Canada has a network of spectacular roadways, train routes, ferry crossings, and float planes. We can arrange for you to travel by car or to sit back and relax.
When is the best time to see wildlife?
That depends on the destination and type. As a rule, the main feeding and migration seasons are best for wildlife experiences. Tell us which animals interest you and we'll make your trip coincide with the best viewing season.
Is this an escorted tour?
With the exception of our guided wildlife trips, our vacations are not typically 'escorted.' We combine the best of both worlds – the reassurance of seamless connections, customer service support, and scheduled activities, plus the freedom of 'independent' travel. You are not tied into a specific group, or a rigid daily itinerary. This allows us to personalize your trip to suit your occasion, interests, and timeframe.

The temperature varies from mild to hot, depending on location. Northern Canada will range between 50°F to 64°F (10°C – 18°C) in summer. The interior of BC, prairies, Ontario and Quebec can reach temperatures around 95°F (35°C). Canada's west coast, mountain regions, and Maritimes enjoy milder summer temperatures. They range on average from 59°F to 77°F (15°C – 25°C).

E13: How do bodies do rhetorical work? (w/ Dr. Stephanie R. Larson)
This episode contains graphic language depicting instances of rape and verbal imagery illustrating acts of sexual violence.
On today's episode, Calvin and Ryan sit down with Dr. Stephanie Larson, Assistant Professor of Rhetoric at Carnegie Mellon, to discuss her recent publication in the Quarterly Journal of Speech (QJS), "'Everything inside me was silenced': (Re)defining rape through visceral counterpublicity."
This article is part of Professor Larson's larger body of work on contemporary rhetorics of rape culture. We discuss two of her case studies: a publicly delivered letter by Emily Doe and a multimodal art piece employed by Emma Sulkowicz, both crafted to call attention to the actions of the men who raped them. In her analysis, Stephanie aims to answer questions such as: How do women discuss acts of sexual violence committed against them after legal discourse fails to recognize these acts as criminal? She theorizes that victims use visceral language to call attention to their physical bodies, specifically their points of violation, thus inciting empathetic and emotional responses from the audience. She goes on to argue that this type of public performativity has the potential to shift public standards of judgment in cases of sexual violence.
The episode closes with Stephanie's thoughts on feminist magnitude and how it has shaped the #MeToo movement in online discourse. She also offers her take on why Christine Blasey-Ford's testimony in the Supreme Court confirmation hearing for Brett Kavanaugh did not capture audiences in the same way, suggesting that the use of online platforms and collective sharing of personal testimonies facilitates more affective and effective engagement with audiences.

World Cup season is upon us! The global event that football fans around the world have all been awaiting has started. All eyes are on the 32 national teams that will be competing in Brazil for the next five weeks.
I was 11 years old when my country, France, hosted and won the World Cup in 1998. The national pride when Les Bleus lifted the trophy before the eyes of millions of people around the world was overwhelming. Surely any event driving this much passion globally should never be called into question? But my grown-up self now wonders if all this enthusiasm could be used to drive much needed positive environmental change?
The rules of football mean that teams are judged on the goals that they score. But wouldn't it be interesting if a country's environmental footprint and sustainability efforts were also accounted for?
Imagine if countries were awarded extra points or a few goals head start for more competitive national footprint and sustainability efforts? In a SustainAbility-organised World Cup, countries would also compete on their 'externalities' like their water footprint or clean energy track record. I have a feeling the outcomes of each game would look dramatically different from say, Goldman Sachs' predictions or Stephen Hawking's formula.
Over the next few weeks we shall show you our picture of the World Cup by presenting the SustainAbility scores of some games. To do so, we shall expand the focus beyond pitch prowess to sustainability performance. We'll rate them on their goals but give them a head start if they are already ahead of the opposing team on key indices. These include water footprint, energy sustainability, ecological footprint and rankings on the human sustainable development index and social progress index. The winning side in each area in each game will be awarded one goal head start against the opposing team for each area. Whilst this is an admittedly overly simplified way of assessing sustainability performance, we hope that it stimulates some supporter soul-searching or at least bar room banter—not just on the final scores, but also on the broader impacts of these countries on the global scale.
Which countries will benefit from this new scoring system? And which countries will it handicap? Will the big names of football still lift the trophy or will we see a new order emerge?
Stay tuned to follow our view on the true scores of the World Cup by following @SustAbility on Twitter or by using the hashtag #TrueScore. Let the games begin and may the best team win!

Print recipe HERE
Quinoa Crusted Fritto Misto
Who doesn't love a giant platter of crunchy, deep fried seafood and greens. All of the flavours are trapped inside the crisp batter. In this recipe the white wine and quinoa is added to the batter for ultimate crispiness. A side of lemony dill aioli will keep you coming back for more.
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook time 20 minutes
Serve 4-6
Ingredients :
1 Squid tube, defrosted if frozen and cut into 1cm rings
8-12 large raw prawns + raw prawn cutlets, thawed if frozen, deveined
½ packet FRESH GROWER Broccolini, halved lengthway
1 FRESH GROWER Fennel, stalk removed and cut into wedges
1 Red Onion, cut into thin wedges
For the batter
1 1/2 cups flour
½ cup rice flour
½ cup Quinoa
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
½ tsp Salt
½ cup dry white wine
1 cup cold water
Vegetable oil for deep frying
For the aioli
1 cup Mayonnaise
1 clove garlic, minced
Juice of 1 lemon
½ cup chopped Dill plus some extra for garnish
Lemon wedges to serve
In a large mixing bowl, mix together the flour, rice flour, quinoa, paprika, baking powder and salt. In a jug, mix the wine and water then whisk into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not over mix.
Heat the oil for deep frying to hot (180°C). When oil is hot, dip handfuls of vegetable into batter, letting excess drip off and slide into the hot oil. Fry for 2- 3 minutes, turning a few times, until golden. Transfer on to a kitchen paper lined plate. Fry vegetables and seafood in batches.
Meanwhile combine the Aioli ingredients together and place in a serving bowl.
Transfer fritto misto to a platter with the bowl of Aioli, garnish with some extra dill. Serve warm with plenty of lemon wedges and napkins.
Tip; Fry the vegetables first, then seafood. Pat dry the seafood with kitchen paper and dust with some extra rice flour before dipping into the batter will lessen oil splashes when frying.

Things we have learned through life are important to us all. I would like to share some of the most important things that I have learned in my life. I never look back and think: I wish this thing never happened to me. I tend more to think: I turned out to be the person I am today, possibly because of where I have been.
- Never leave, hang up the phone, or say goodnight without saying, "I love you." even if you are pissed off, because you never know if you will ever get the chance to say that again to the ones you really love.
- Wake up with a smile on your face and goodness in your heart; or at least after your first cup of coffee, because you never know what the day has to offer or where it may lead you.
- Always be prepared for any possibility because anything could happen and you may need to talk your way in to something or get yourself out of something.
- Make sure that you see the good in others, even when it is difficult to find.
- Don't live in fear or make decisions out of fear. It will never turn out to be where you wanted to land and living in fear is just not a way to live. Remember as my friend Bonnie always said," It's just a thing!" "It" doesn't have power over you.
- "I can get through anything" that life throws me. I learned this at a very young age. When I am in a bad way or having a hard time, I chant this to myself.
- Don't worry about things to come they are coming, whether you want them to or not, and you will not be prepared if you are busy worrying. It just doesn't change anything except how stressed you are and for me that could mean the difference between having a seizure or not.
- When life gives you, lemons make lemon-aide and sell it on the street in front of your house.
- Time waits for no one so don't waste it.
- Be patient with people you never know what they are dealing with.
- Be compassionate and have empathy but there is no need to carry everyone else's troubles on your shoulders just do what you can to help, even if it's just a hug.
- Your own History is like a dusty shelf, you may want to look at it, examine it, learn from it, and then clean the dam thing off. (Mom would be proud, lol)
- Ride your bike it keeps you healthy and strong and the scenery is beautiful.
- Laugh more but never forget it is all right to cry. Crying doesn't mean you are weak it just gives you stuffy head.
- You can never get all of what you lost back but it sure is worth trying and in the process you'll find new things that you do and like better.
- Never underestimate the abilities of others.
- Get rid of your anguish it only holds you back in life.
- Tell people the truth and don't humor them because it's easier.
- Be loyal to those you love even though they may not always treat you the same.
- If you have a poor relationship with someone remember someone has to make the first move to fix it. Try to be the first before you find you have nothing to talk to them about.
- Always say you're sorry when you realize you're wrong.
- Struggle makes you strong but it sure isn't fun.
- Bad things happen to good people but that doesn't have to make you a person who doesn't live well and love life.
- Stand up for those who can't do it for themselves.
- If you are like me and rarely ask for help, let someone help you. It is good for you to ask and good for them to be able to give. (I work on this all the time not an easy one for me).
- Last but never least, taking the shortcut may not be quickest way to get from one place to another.

Govt defends GST rate on sanitary pads and disability aids
The Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council defended the 12 percent tax rate on sanitary pads and placing disability aids in 5-18 per cent tax slab.
Government officials cited three reasons to justify the tax rates: To protect local manufacturers, avoid an inverted tax structure and to keep the new tax rate at the same level or lower than the old one. An official in the GST Council said on condition of anonymity that the issue was discussed in detail before finalizing a tax of 12 per cent on the product, reports Hindustan Reports.
"A 12 per cent GST rate is at par with its earlier tax burden including central and state taxes (or a bit lower depending on the state where it is purchased)," this person said. "Secondly, some of the raw materials used such as polymers attract a higher 18 per cent rate which makes it hard to reduce the tax rate on the finished item without adding to the cost of producers." While companies can claim credit for tax paid on intermediate goods, a huge differential between the tax rates on intermediate goods or inputs and that on the finished product would mean that they end up with tax credits that they can't use.
As far as disability aids are concerned the finance ministry said in a statement on Tuesday that many of the inputs used in the manufacture of these disability aids attract 18 per cent tax. In addition, the ministry said, 22 assistive devices and rehabilitation aids for physically challenged persons would attract a concessional 5 per cent GST rate.

Video: Frey vs Viking – Mat Wars part 82
This match starts unlike most, it seems like Viking is showing Frey some pins, as they are rolling around on the ground, Vikings shorts fall down some and Frey notices Vikings very pink wrestling shorts, and he can't help but to let Viking know how much he doesn't like them. Viking doesn't appreciate Frey's comments and before Frey can leave he puts him in a sleeper, but once Viking releases Frey, he clearly hasn't learned his lesson and keeps making fun of Vikings pink shorts, Viking replies with two mighty gut punches, he pins Frey's arm back and displays him for the camera, slapping Frey's stomach, but as usual Frey won't submit and keeps making fun of vikings pink shorts! Viking throws Frey against the wall and gives Frey two ab breaking punches, than lifts him up in a chokehold!
