Clinical Preventive Service Recommendation
Hypertension, Adults
Grade: A recommendation
The AAFP recommends screening for high blood pressure in adults aged 18 years or older. The AAFP recommends obtaining measurements outside of the clinical setting for diagnostic confirmation before starting treatment. (2015)
Grade Definition(www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org)
Clinical Consideration(www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org)
Hypertension, Children and Adolescents
Grade: I recommendation
The AAFP concludes that the current evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms for screening for primary hypertension in asymptomatic children and adolescents to prevent subsequent cardiovascular disease in childhood or adulthood. (2013)
Grade Definition(www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org)
These recommendations are provided only as assistance for physicians making clinical decisions regarding the care of their patients. As such, they cannot substitute for the individual judgment brought to each clinical situation by the patient's family physician. As with all clinical reference resources, they reflect the best understanding of the science of medicine at the time of publication, but they should be used with the clear understanding that continued research may result in new knowledge and recommendations. These recommendations are only one element in the complex process of improving the health of America. To be effective, the recommendations must be implemented.

TEL AVIV (May. 15)
Hundreds of firefighters over the weekend battled crop and field blazes, touched off by a blistering heat wave and a dry wind, known as the Sharav.
Farmers have estimated the damage in the millions of dollars from fires and withered crops. Daytime temperatures generally have been in the high 90s and hit 103 to 105 degrees Fahrenheit on the coast and in the Negev.

Olsson injury gives Idowu golden chance
Phillips Idowu yesterday had the biggest obstacle in his path towards triple jump gold in Osaka removed when Christian Olsson pulled out of the world championships with injury.
Olsson, Sweden's Olympic champion, was in Japan training when he aggravated the hamstring he tore at the Golden League meeting in Rome last month. "I just felt something go in the back of the thigh," he said.
Even though the 28-year-old Londoner Idowu, the Commonwealth Games champion, has been suffering with a back injury, he will now be presented with his biggest chance ever of succeeding his former British team-mate Jonathan Edwards on the global stage.
Idowu is one of Britain's best hopes of winning gold in Osaka because of his ability, if he is in the right frame of mind, to produce one jump which the others cannot match. The other side to him is that he has in the past failed to deliver on his potential. After reaching the Olympic final in Athens in 2004, Idowu failed to record a legal jump and two years before that he led the Commonwealth Games in Manchester before being beaten into second place by Edwards.
Yet, as he showed at the Golden League in Oslo in June, he has the ability to beat the best. On that night he jumped 17.35m, defeating Olsson by two centimetres and setting himself up for a summer which has since been disrupted by that back injury.
The American Aarik Wilson, who has jumped a season's best of 17.58m, will be one of the biggest challenges to Idowu but the absence of Olsson will take away a significant psychological barrier .

Online magazine Vice posted a muckraking piece Monday about how avowedly liberal media outlets such as the Nation, the American Prospect, and Mother Jones pay their editorial interns measly stipends that often don't even amount to the minimum wage.
The practice of paying interns a pittance — or nothing at all — is hardly confined to liberal opinion journals, of course. Lots of media organizations — probably a large majority, in fact — do it. But, as Vice notes, the liberal outlets also regularly run articles calling for a "living wage."
The article is particularly tough on Mother Jones, which was named after a labor rights organizer. The interns reportedly got paid the equivalent of $6 an hour, despite the fact that the magazine is based in California, which currently has an $8 minimum wage (Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation in September to make it $10 by 2016).
The situation there was reportedly so bad that one anonymous former intern told Vice: "During our first meeting with HR at Mother Jones, we were advised to sign up for food stamps."
Mother Jones has indignantly denied the report. At least, the food stamps part. The magazine's public affairs director, Elizabeth Gettelman, told another online magazine, The Wire:
That's actually not true, we've never advised interns or fellows to sign up for food stamps. It is true that the stipend level qualifies them for food stamps, as do most internships, and our HR director has, in the context of explaining their stipend, said as much, but we've never encouraged anyone to sign up.
So, no, the interns were never advised to sign up. Mother Jones's HR merely said food stamps were available to them and they could sign up if they wanted to.
Mother Jones has also announced that starting next year it will make intern pay in line with the state minimum wage.

After Tuesday night's loss to the Vikings, the Eagles suddenly have nothing to play for Sunday against the Cowboys. It seems likely that the Eagles will play Kevin Kolb at quarterback for most, if not all, of Sunday's game. The Eagles could rest other starters besides Vick, too.
But in a conference call with reporters at Valley Ranch, Eagles coach Andy Reid said he has not made up his mind about who will -- or won't -- play against the Cowboys.
"I've been on both ends of that," Reid said. "I've rested guys before and lost and gone on to the playoffs and done OK. And then played them and lost. I've had both experiences. Any game we go into, obviously we want to win. That's the way we will approach it this week. We're going to approach it like we want to play very well against the Dallas Cowboys and do our best to win the football."
The Eagles are locked into the third seed and will play the first weekend -- Jan. 8-9. The league is expected to give them a Sunday game since they played a postponed game against the Vikings last night. That means Philadelphia will have three games in 13 days.
Vick was banged up against the Vikings, limping off at the end of the game.
"He hurt his quad a little bit," Reid said. "If we had to play today, he probably wouldn't be able to do it. By Sunday, he should be able to function pretty good."
Kolb began the season as the Eagles' starter. He could end the regular as the starter, too. With Vick hobbled, the Eagles offensive line not playing well, and the game having been rendered "meaningless", it seems pointless for the Eagles to even think about subjecting Vick to unnecessary hits.

We Need More Money Than a Blind Cat
OK we admit it. We're not as cute as blind cats.
We are not going to shelter the world underground in 2012 or whenever the next disaster hits.
We're not building playgrounds, sending wheelchairs to children in the jungle, or giving teddy bears to tornado victims. But, gosh darn it, people LIKE us here at the Straight Spouse Network.
And now we want you to like us enough that we get $25000 from Pepsi to fulfill our goal of having a real live group of speakers to talk about helping straight spouses wherever anyone wants to listen. We need the money for the recruitment, training, promotion and travel of speakers who can and will tell our story our way. People who know how to communicate our story to the media. People who the media can and will call on.
Imagine, people on TV telling our varied stories for more than a few minutes on some talk show where people actually listen and ask questions. Imagine that information about where someone struggling with the discovery or disclosure of a gay spouse can turn for help actually gets on the air! Imagine, local community centers or church groups would actually have someone available to talk to them about our real, ongoing and complicated lives as part of a mixed orientation family – most of us are divorced, yes, but like many divorced couples, we are still family when it comes to the parenting of our children. Imagine – you tell your friends finally about the reason your marriage split up, and hey, they actually met a real live person at some event SPEAKING about how this feels, how to help, what to do. Imagine, a gay rights group gets to hear someone who is confident, prepared, and honest discuss the very real effect of coming out on our lives, and the closets we are often consigned to. Imagine. Someone besides you has actually heard of this happening. Someone is speaking publicly about it, without fear, and without pushing anyone else's politics, faith, or social agenda. Several someones in fact. Men and women of all races and creeds and cultures.
OK, do more than imagine. Go to Facebook, and vote for us on the Pepsi Refresh page. This is important – vote for us EVERY DAY.
Tell 10 of your friends to do the same. Tell them to tell their friends. You'll be amazed – gosh, even if they don't know that YOU'RE a straight spouse, they probably know somebody like that…… You can also like the Straight Spouse Network on Facebook while you're there. We're very likable.
If this voting sounds familiar, its because we tried to get this grant last year. We just did not have enough people voting. More people were interested in helping blind cats than in helping us.
You don't have to tell people the reason why you voted for us. Say its for one of the girls at work, or one of the guys in your running club, a neighbor of someone you carpool with. But vote. You don't need to apologize for it. You can register through the Pepsi site, so it never shows up on your Facebook newsfeed.
You can also get some extra votes by entering codes from specially marked Pepsi bottle caps, up to five extra codes a day. With those codes, you can vote for us FIVE TIMES A DAY. Don't have a code? Well, not to worry. Someone will probably share one with you. Just ask.
Vote for the Straight Spouse Network.
Every. Single. Day.
Because we're not as cute as blind cats, and we need a lot more help.Read More

Hi, we have found some visitors in our garden - they are bright green caterpillars with darker green chevrons on them. They are currently sitting on my Acer in the garden. Does anyone know which species they are? My husband wants to get rid of them but I would like to know what they are before we do. Also if anyone knows what they eat and whether we could leave them be.
Thanks for your help

Fresh, cool and packed with nutrients, spring rolls are a great way to eat right without heating up your kitchen as we enter the dog days of summer. In this recipe from Jazmine Cafe (614 S. Carrollton Ave; 866-9301; www.jazminecafe.com) chef Linh Pham, tofu provides a healthy dose of protein and B vitamins, while avocado offers heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and vitamins K, C and E. For extra flavor and protein, serve them with peanut-hoisin sauce.
Chef Linh Pham's Vegetable Spring Rolls
Makes 8 Spring Rolls
Spring Rolls
2 ounces rice vermicelli
8 rice wrappers (8 1/2-inch diameter)
1/2 ripe avocado, cut into eight slices
1 package firm tofu
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 head of lettuce, chopped
Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Boil rice vermicelli 3 to 5 minutes, or until al dente, then drain.
Remove tofu from container and dry. Cut tofu block into eight slices. Lightly fry each side of the tofu in pan until golden, approximately 1 to 2 minutes on each side at medium heat. After tofu has cooled, cut each slice in half lengthwise.
Fill a large bowl with warm water. Dip one wrapper at a time into the water for 1 second to soften. Lay the wrapper flat. (If the wrapper still feels hard, it will soften while you put ingredients together on top.) Lay one piece of avocado directly in the center of the rice paper lengthwise. Directly below it, lay two pieces of tofu, one beneath the other. Below the tofu, lay a small amount of noodles. Then place a small amount of lettuce and herbs below the noodles. The ingredients should be nicely arranged one beneath the other going toward the bottom end of the rice paper.
Fold each side (left and right) of the rice paper toward the middle. (If both of the sides meet and stick together in the middle when you fold them, the rolling process will be much easier). Fold the bottom edge of the rice paper over the lettuce to cover it (this should stick the bottom of the rice paper to the previously folded sides), then reach back to the folded bottom edge and roll the rest of the filled rice paper upward.
Peanut Sauce:
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup hot water (boiling if possible)
2 tablespoons peanut butter
2 tablespoon crushed peanuts
Sriracha hot sauce (optional)
Mix the hot water and peanut butter. Once the peanut butter is more liquid in consistency, vigorously whisk in hoisin sauce. It should turn a light brown color. Mix in crushed peanuts for texture. Add sriracha for a spicier taste.

It's Mother's Day. I'd love to write a post about how much it means to me to be my children's mother. I tried last year, writing about my son and my daughter. But really, I can't write what I feel. I am nowhere near an eloquent enough writer to be able to express the joy, pride and happiness I get from parenting these two children, the most precious gifts I've ever received.
So, I'll leave it at that. My love is unexpressable.
Happy Mother's Day to all of you fabulous mothers out there!

Wisdom is deep and wide understanding of the world that we live in. That understanding relates to people, situations, events, habits, rules and things. This understanding helps us to act in a best way in specific situation. Wisdom does not necessarily depends on intellect and education, but is more related to experience, flexibility, willingness to understand others, ability to change and adopt. It is said that wisdom comes with the age.
Although grandmothers tend to have an answer for all, scientists warn us, based on extensive research, that wisdom does not come always with age. The researchers concluded that older people are not necessarily wiser than younger ones and that in some situations, react unreasonable.
Ursula Staudingerm Professor of Psychology at the University of Jacobs in Bremen says that old people cannot accept new things as well as young. "Older people are not open to new experiences, and furthermore over the years become intolerant. This combination is not an indicator of a person of wisdom," Staudinger says. Professor Staudinger is studying the wisdom of since 1985. and conducted many studies.
"Our studies have shown that the wise can be called less than one per cent of population" Staudinger says. This becomes visible in situations when it is necessary to solve problems, since people usually get too emotional. "It is easier to give wise counsel to other than ourselves."
This applies especially to older people. The study showed that older people had worse results than the younger in the evaluation of their virtues and weaknesses. Staudinger argues that this is because in the last phase of life people think about the whole of their life and they try to distinguish the positive events that would keep them from bitterness of bad things. In addition, older people are less critical of themselves, while younger people more easily analyze their life.
The wisdom does not come necessarily with the age. The ability of being wise is not directly related to aging, but to what we experience and how we perceive, memorize and use this experience in the future. Ability to accept changes is very important for the making wise decision. We are living in the age of rapid changes. What was fact yesterday could be obsolete today. Accepting the new things and using the experience from the past can help you in making good decisions.
Do not expect to become wise just because today you are older than yesterday. Do not except to be appreciated by the others, only based on your age. Be wiser by accepting new things and knowledge. Be ready to admit the mistake. Do not reject the opinion of others. Wisdom is the ability that can be learned and improved. It takes time and requires openness, but the result justifies the effort. Be more wise today than you were yesterday

From the Wolves:
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kevin Love suffered a mild concussion and neck strain in last night's game at Denver, and stayed overnight at a hospital for precautionary reasons. After further evaluation today, Love's diagnosis remains unchanged and he has been cleared to return to Minneapolis. He will not play in tonight's game vs. the L.A. Clippers. In the upcoming days, Love will be further evaluated by the Timberwolves medical staff, and an update to his status will be provided when warranted.
As Zach describes on Truehoop today, even mild concussions are serious. Still, its good to hear that Love's injury is not more serious than that.

You've undoubtedly heard the phrase, "You get what you pay for". Have you ever bought something thinking you were getting a great deal only to get it home and not live up to your expectations? Guess what? The same thing happens in Bankruptcy. What do you look for? Cheap service or knowledge?
K is for Knowledge
A recent article by the U.S. Court system indicates a growing trend of pro se bankruptcy filers (those who filed bankruptcy without the aid of an attorney). The article represents that between 2-4 percent of Nebraska bankruptcy cases are filed pro se. An interesting statistic from the article is that 31% of all U.S. pro se filings are dismissed without a discharge of debt. Clearly, these debtors needed proper knowledge from an attorney to represent their best interests.
I wouldn't advise an individual to file a case on their own. Too many times I've been sitting through the meeting of creditors and have witnessed situations where debtors have improperly filed their case and documents or have relied on non-lawyers, known as "bankruptcy petition preparers", and have had a difficult meeting, which should have been simple.
Similarly, I wouldn't advise someone to consult with a "bankruptcy mill law firm". These are law firms who claim to "specialize" in nothing but bankruptcy. The problem with these firms is that they process your paperwork in a "one size-fits all" type of way. No bankruptcy is ever the same as the next. There are situations where you need extra help with special situations that arise. These law firms will abandon you if a creditor contests your bankruptcy, forcing you to either go on your own or find an attorney who is willing to provide the appropriate knowledge to the situation.
Would you file a bankruptcy on your own or go through a bankruptcy mill if you knew that with just a little extra knowledge you could wipe away a second mortgage through an adversary proceeding, void the lien on a car loan, discharge student loan debt or dispose of tax debts?
Caldwell Law provides that knowledge for a reasonable price. You're not a one size-fits all template or simply a client number. We take great care to thoroughly review your situation and devise whether bankruptcy is the right option for you and if so, which chapter fits your goals and best interests.
Does it cost a little more? Maybe, maybe not. But wouldn't you be willing to pay a fair price for the benefit of knowledge? That's what a lawyer should do.

The Emergent Challenge
This article is based on real events, and is also aimed at encouraging fellow Muslims to continue their quest for greater autonomy in empowering themselves. From time to time, we are confronted with personal and collective matters. How we respond to our problems makes a tremendous difference in solving the issues, and it also has a dramatic impact upon our lives. The name of my family member is purposely excluded (and is referred to as "our family member"), although those who are aware or know our family will understand the nature of the intimate details.
An emergent crisis in our family began over a sustained number of days; we were on high alert! We knew to contact assistance and advice through the direct help line, and (MSSN) Muslim Support Services Network. The direct Help-line Number is 224-4324 or 244-3242; there are also alternate numbers that can be reached from any area code, including international connections. It is a vast service that avails help for any and all circumstances with a highly receptive, accommodating listener / advisor, and a100% response rate.
During emergencies, whether large or small, it is important that those being affected have reassurance, guidance, and attention. The family that experiences crisis must also know how to respond, and not panic although the situation can be emotionally exhausting, tense, and stressful. This is why real help and support services are extremely important in the step-by-step process toward stability, and /or resolution of the problem.
Our family member was experiencing specific health challenges; we had to make a consultative family pro-active decision in order to get immediate assistance. Our former family experience, including our professional background shaped our decision and course of action. The days that ensued were filled with sleepless nights, very long hours at the hospital (Sinai Hospital, NW Baltimore- where our family member was already affiliated with out-patient services), constant traveling back and forth, shifts of visitation, consultation with medical professionals, and support agencies. In as many days, another Muslim family didn't hesitate to assist us, while we endeavored to seek much needed help.
Primarily, we used the above Direct Help-Line: 224-4324 etc., others that knew what we were going through also said they would seek the action line in our behalf, and they did. So, what is this "Help-Line" and number? It is the formulary number of salah (prayers, which Believers make each day from the rise at morn (Al-fajr), until the retirement before bed (Al-ishaa), and then some in the latter third of the night (including: Qiyam-ul-Layl and Tahajjud).
With such a support network, and constant determination the resolution process in our case became more defined. It required persistence, inquiry, review, and finally a reasonable treatment plan. Unfortunately, the mundane aspect of fulfilling the needs of our family member was fraught with obstacles, uncertainty, and frustration. During the week of the impending tribulation, our family immediately assumed the first responders' mode. We were already predisposed to the initial course of action we had to take...
Prior Knowledge And Preparedness: Keeping Spiritual, Intellectual, Psychological, And Cognitive Health
What was the problem that led to the crisis? In the previous years, our family member experienced extreme anxiety challenges, which led to certain levels of disorientation, discomfort, introversion, and a sense of social instability. Sometimes symptoms can manifest in the form of extreme moods swings, anxiety, phobia, paranoia, depression, fits of crying, aggressive behavior, suicidal tendencies, hallucination, hearing voices, insomnia, experiencing nightmares, schizophrenia, hysteria, or bipolar disorders. It depends on given circumstances, thus an individual can manifest isolated symptoms, only one, or a combination of them. Additionally, certain other forms of physiological and psychological disorder will also affect a person's ability to rationalize properly, complete analytical tasks, articulate, or process simple and more complex information. Nevertheless, none of these symptomatic behaviors can be properly assessed or evaluated without proper diagnosis, by a trained professional. Once a diagnosis is properly made, and symptoms well-defined, a course of action along with a treatment plan can be implemented.
Part of the regimen of treatment will often be centered on administering medication when applicable, non-drug counseling, check-up, on-going therapy, continued education concerning personal experiences with the disorder, in-patient or out-patient clinical care, and personal management. Respectively, professionals in the field of psychiatry, psychology, social work, care-giving, along with additional medically trained individuals work together to establish a more holistically-centered, individualized needs assessment. This will help to expedite an individual's ability to cope with identified problems, and apply suitable alternatives to deal with them effectively.
More serious problems may require a protracted or even aggressive intervention. During the stabilization phase or normalization period, professional counseling through routine out-patient sessions will offer monitoring of a person's progress. Such sessions can be less clinical in nature and more casual- as clientèle / consumers advance in progressive independent functionality in their daily lives. A special team of people help to administer care to persons in need that have specific health challenges of the above nature. When care is given properly, in a broad range of methods and/or applications, the prognosis or outcome can be dramatically beneficial. This means that positive results will enable the individual to resume their basic daily tasks, with little problems.
In our family member's previous case, progressive improvement, stability, and optimum functionality etc. was easily achieved. As such, personal management (of the disability) under the circumstances became second nature, and episodes of distress were kept to a bare minimum, if any. I mentioned all of the above things, because it represents similar challenges that other Muslim families face. Recently, unanticipated events occurred and it posed serious challenges to our family as a whole. Our ability to respond to the crisis placed us in a position to make difficult decisions, which might have otherwise been in the hands of individuals that did not have our family member's best interest at heart. It is true; we decided to seek medical assistance or intervention, and then pursuant to this we encountered a number of unexpected, unpleasant barriers. It was certainly not what happened before; instead, we were in the defense mode...!
The Afternoon Of The Emergency Stems A Long Day's Journey Into Night...!
Particular procedures, protocols, and strictures of legal consent were implemented as routine steps. Before long, our family member was in the hands of the hospital administration, admitted, and legally bound. The pertinent personal circumstances at intake precipitated the long, arduous, and traumatic experience encountered by our family member. The initial procedure of admission began a twelve hour ordeal that resulted in medical clearance, and then discharge. Again, after a rough night the admission process started over again resulting in a ten hour ordeal, and then final admission. After all of this, our family member was now a patient in observation, in the psychiatric unit. This does not necessarily mean an individual is suffering some incurable disease or malady. But, it does mean that an individual with a former history will be attended to until a level of stability is attained that is acceptable, by the attendant physicians managing the specific case. From there, an individual enters the next phase of consultation, referral, and evaluation, to learn if a transitional stage for returning home can be recommended.
Generally, it is a process that must involve the entire family; a comprehensive cumulative plan is developed, implemented, and followed. Each component of that plan is extremely important, or indispensable. This time around the primary events did not coincide with our anticipated expectations. Already, in just a few days, we were feeling great apprehension for our family member. Of a sudden, our right to know what was happening on the patient's end was abruptly cut off! This was quite unnerving to us, and produced a far reaching impact. It was not like the previous years where we were completely included in the (step-by-step) process of health treatment, repercussions, and final resolution. Now, it was not going very well!
*As a side note, it is extremely important to establish legal rights that will protect a patient. Consent is the legal term that is used in order to obtain access to information, and data related to a patient's treatment and progress, which will be considered private. In this case, a family should act to establish power of attorney so they become legally responsible, and can access vital information if necessary. That can be done with the prior knowledge and agreement of an individual that is under treatment, or for other related reasons.
A Rising Tide Turns Into A Tsunami...!
In a matter of hours, we discovered that our family member was confronting a traumatic experience that seemed rather extra-punitive, as opposed to remedial. During the initial intake process she was given a psychotropic drug, to calm her down; this was rather unsettling since there was disorientation, but no particular aggressive or violent behavior. There was a period of unclear thinking.
In the following days we discovered that our family member was assessed as aggressive, uncooperative, refractory, impulsive, perceived as personally threatening by some of the staff, and then summarily sedated, and then for a number of hours locked in a so-called therapeutic [dark] "quiet room". There was improper clothing, no undergarments beneath the hospital gown, no access to bathroom facilities, and no creature comforts other than an uncovered thin plastic mat, on a bare cold concrete floor, with a drain in its center. They were left alone, confused, frightened, cold, shivering, isolated, barefooted, feeling ashamed, wet from being unable to use lavatory facilities, and kneeling in the middle of the floor. This was the result of the procedures used by the hospital staff and management that administered to our family member, in that facility. She was forcefully dosed again and again with neural-inhibitors, used to control certain types of anxiety, and other reactions. The repercussions were averse. We were told by hospital authorities over the phone, that they observed our relative "crawling" around on the floor while in confinement. When we heard directly from our relative, it was explained that the perceived "crawling" was an effort to find a clean place on the dark floor that wasn't wet, and since they were in an impure state they could only implore Allah's Help by staying on their knees, and repeating dua'a over and over!
"Be sure We shall test you with something of fear and hunger, some loss in goods, lives, and the fruits of your toil. But give glad tidings to those who patiently persevere. Those who say, when afflicted with calamity, 'To Allah we belong, and to Him is our return.' They are those on whom descend blessings from their Lord, and mercy. They are the ones who receive guidance." (2:155-157)
It was necessary to be vigilant, and focused while on this emotional, hypertensive roller coaster. As Muslims we have an obligation to the Believers while making strong efforts to safeguard our well-being at every level. Sad to say, when we arrived at the facility to check on the situation, we witnessed other Muslim patients that were also present. We did not know their disposition, but we made dua'a for them, and this reflected Muslims that were making dua'a for our family.
We confronted the care providers, in a formal meeting. We required them to give a play-by-play explanation of the former day's events. To our dismay, there was but little acceptable explanation for their behavior toward our family member. In a short time after this, a former patient was discharged and on our way home with us! For all intents and purposes, procedural care was not administered properly, in our estimation or to our satisfaction. What is more, while the tears flowed from their grateful eyes, our family member gradually recounted to us the horrific ordeal that was encountered. Not every moment in the experience was negative, and some individuals along the way were supportive, empathetic, and sincerely helpful. Yet, from the outset we perceived developing difficulties; this was our visceral intuition.
Resolution And Encouragement
Upon discharge from the facility, the slow clarity of mind started to come to light, Qur'an was constantly recited and remembered, while adkhar continued intermittently. Questions began to flow like water in a stream; we all spoke in a calm manner. The response was positive, and the lapse of time, events, and places started to make sense again. Things started to align in the mind of our relative. We felt relieved, after experiencing periods of depression, yet entertaining hope in Allah that things would change, for the better.
This was a test, and we comprehended that it was a way for Allah to draw all of us close to Him. In any event, we recognize it as a continued strengthening of iman (faith) in Allah, and in our ability to be patient, persevering, and composed. We are empathetic toward other families that encounter and will encounter such tests; we must ever turn toward Allah for His Guidance, inspiration, and compassion.
There is one thing to consider: Muslims are affected by many challenges, and they are also afflicted with an array of infirmities of varying degrees. One of those afflictions is mental health; it affects the well-being of the individual, the family, and the society at large. It affects Muslim and non-muslim families alike. We are not immune to the situation that was described above, nor are we excluded from being candidates for other health problems. The fact of the matter is that many Muslims are in deniable about such things like mental health problems, and a pervasive array of other health issues like: substance abuse, domestic (spousal abuse) violence, learning disabilities, sexual abuse, sexually transmitted diseases, promiscuity, teen pregnancy, runaways, gang affiliation, recidivism (returning to incarceration), illiteracy, autism, high school drop-out rate, homelessness, chronic unemployment, and a combined plethora of unresolved socio-religious issues.
Comprehensively, Muslims must continue their endeavor to learn about the circumstantial conditions that can affect individuals and their families. They must also learn how to combat the challenges that will occur, have an action plan, and comprehend the steps necessary to initiate a resolution and recovery. Support through the power of prayer, dua'a, sabr (patience), positive thinking, and pro-activity are components of healing. They are also components of perfecting iman, through the progression of sincere practice.
Sometimes it appears that the odds are overwhelming, but Allah says: Along with every difficulty comes ease and relief... The Muslim Support Services Network is always available, no matter what the circumstances, time of day, morning, noon, or night.
O ye who believe! Persevere in patience and constancy; vie in such perseverance; strengthen each other; and fear Allah; that you may prosper. (3: 200)

Assassinous Act | TRS072
Weather patterns around the world are shifting…and although it's fortunately cooler than usual here in California this summer, tempers are still on the rise, tensions ride high, and criminal intent is always in the air! Our latest release reflects these sentiments…and for TRS072 we are bringing back an artist that we released last year. We are very pleased to re-welcome Morgen Wurde, aka Wolfgang Röttger, and his latest release, Assassinous Act!
We had told Wolfgang earlier in the year that we would be doing a "crime release" of sorts in the near future, and he promptly and enthusiastically agreed to compose a fictitious soundtrack for us to this non existent crime that is reflected in the packaging for TRS072. He has done a fantastic job to that effect! Dark and ominous at times…mysterious and reflective at others…the thirteen tracks here take us through the conception of the crime, to the actual acting out of it and beyond, to a final redemption and reckoning of sorts. With his "accomplices", Maria Estrella Aggabao and Georges-Emmanuel Schneider, he has indeed provided us with a fitting soundscape to this release!
As usual this release will be available in two physical versions. The absurdly appropriate deluxe version is composed of an actual "crime kit"…each of which comes contained in a zippered, textile evidence bag, and is hung and labeled with a hand distressed and numbered toe tag. Every bag contains all that you should need to figure out the parameters of this crime! The actual potential murder weapon in the form of an antique ice pick w/bullet attached (not live ammo), a vintage mug shot and fingerprint card, a copy of an antique fingerprinting magazine, a hand typed out and repurposed evidence envelope with factory pressed "soundtrack" disc inside it, a hand modified blood spatter test card, a mysterious vintage coat check tag with brass key attached, (what's in the locker?), and other evidentiary objects of interest to anyone trying to figure this crime out!
Put this evocative soundtrack on while studying the objects at hand, and see if you can solve this whodunnit!
This release also comes in a lovely digipak edition of only 100 copies.
It is also available digitally here at our Bandcamp page
This release will ship the week of August 21st 2017.

Investigators arrested a third grade teacher in Springtown who they believe brought drugs to school and got high every morning for seven years.
Vicki Bruce has taught at Reno Elementary School in Springtown, about 30 miles west of Fort Worth, for about 10 years, according to a report from Fox KDFW-TV. She was arrested Wednesday and released on bond.
According to an arrest warrant first obtained by KDFW, the 46-year-old teacher told Texas Rangers that she used methamphetamines before going to work "on-and-off" for the last seven years. She told investigators that she had been buying $60 worth of meth every week for the last seven years.
Bruce told Texas Rangers that she didn't have the drugs in the school, but that she had then in her car in the parking lot.
Investigators say Bruce kept the drugs wrapped in aluminum foil in a photo album in her purse.
Wise County Sheriff David Walker said that as of now, the teacher will be charged with possession of methamphetamine and possession of a controlled substance in a drug-free zone.
Bruce was arrested and booked into the Wise County Jail on Wednesday. She was released on a $25,000 bond.

Government's budget: only cuts and crumbs for Sask. families
$52 million cut from health care, $23 million from education, nothing for seniors care homes
The provincial government's 2014-15 budget squeezes families and the services they count on, ensuring for another year that the strong economy will benefit government, not people.
Despite having over 50 per cent more revenue coming into government's coffers, the budget cuts health care, offers not a single new dollar to address the seniors care crisis and heaps financial strain on municipalities, schools and universities.
Six out of seven budget must-haves laid out by the NDP have not been met.
"The message this budget sends everyday families is to brace themselves – the things they count on and really need improvements to are going to get even worse," said Trent Wotherspoon, NDP deputy leader and finance critic. "Saskatchewan people are working harder than ever right now. They deserve a budget that uses the strong economy to benefit them – now and in the long-term. They deserve for the strong economy to translate into better hospitals, smaller classrooms and a better cost of living."
"Instead, the government invests in pet projects, leaving just crumbs for real families and the things that matter."
Saskatchewan families have raised concerns over the high cost of living while the basics they count on – like education, health care and seniors care – get worse.Read more
NDP lists budget priorities
The official Opposition is setting its expectations for the provincial budget and outlining the priorities Cam Broten and the NDP MLAs will look for in the government's budget on Wednesday.
"For me and my team, politics isn't just about the province doing well – it's about people doing well. That's the lens through which we'll be looking at this budget," NDP Leader Cam Broten said. "Saskatchewan families aren't benefitting enough from the strong economy, even though they're working harder than ever. Families are being asked to pay extra far too often, these days, in an economy that already has a high cost of living. And, the basics we should be able to count on, like health care and education, are suffering cutbacks and getting worse while this government prioritizes things like spending millions on out-of-country consultants.
"I want to see a budget that uses the strong economy to make life better for the people of Saskatchewan. And, I want to see a budget that fixes the basics of health care, seniors care and education instead of blowing money on this government's pet projects."Read more
Grain announcement too little, too slow says NDP
The federal government's plan to move grain is too weak and too slow to help producers with grain still in the bins. Both the amount of grain the two big rail companies will be required to move, and the penalties for not doing it, are too small.
The government announced today it would give the two big rail companies four weeks to get up to 11,000 cars per week – or be fined $100,000 per day. 11,000 cars per week is about the same number of grain cars CP and CN were running in the fall.
"The federal government is treating the two big rail companies with kid gloves – and the Sask. Party government is patting them on the back for it," said Cathy Sproule, NDP agriculture critic. "Today's announcement does nothing to compensate producers that have already lost billions, and the 5,500 cars required from each company only reflects what the rail companies have already promised for spring. This just isn't good enough to resolve the crisis, and it hasn't been well received by the producers I'm hearing from today."Read more
Job losses in education and health concerning
Despite the strong economy, 1,400 health care and social services jobs and another 1,400 education jobs have been eliminated over the past year, according to Statistics Canada – a concerning trend, according to the NDP.
"This government has record revenues, but Saskatchewan families tell us that's not translating into better services for them," said Trent Wotherspoon, NDP Deputy Leader and finance critic. "When it comes to the basics, things are getting worse. There aren't enough front-line health care workers. There are too many cuts in overcrowded classrooms throughout the province, and our kids just aren't getting one-on-one attention when they need it.
"This government is spending $40 million on American LEAN consultants, but is not making sure we have enough teachers and educational assistants, or health care professionals to deal with long waits and overcrowded hospitals."Read more
NDP introduces bill to create minimum standards in seniors care
The NDP has introduced a bill that, if passed, will require the government to establish minimum quality of care standards that apply to seniors care homes throughout the province.
Bill 606, The Residents in Care Bill of Rights Act, is a private member's bill introduced by NDP health critic Danielle Chartier. It requires each seniors care home in Saskatchewan to have a Residents' Bill of Rights that guarantees respect, dignity and safety for seniors in Saskatchewan care homes.
"Saskatchewan has a seniors care crisis, and a significant part of the problem is the government's elimination of minimum standards that has led to understaffing, underfunding and absolutely unacceptable treatment of people," said Chartier. "Our parents, our grandparents are being left to soil themselves because caregivers don't have time to help them to the bathroom. They're not being given the time or help to eat meals.

Already very popular in Holland, please check:
The company that builds the dutch 'bierfiets', de Caféracer, also builds a bicyclebus for children. I will send some pictures separately.
How slow is it exactly? I've piloted ZEMs and Conference Bikes enough to know that the bigger they get the slower they go.
Shame really. I'd love to see a few of these – ridden by real cyclists – race each other around a crit circuit!
James, How does one buy this. Need to know as I am interested in buying couple of them.
Do contact me.
I know there are other companies doing this. There's one in downtown Nashville. Where does one go about purchasing one of these pedal-powered pubs?
Looking to buy one.. prices?

Press Release
April 2011
The response to a modern Landini tractor shown in an historic colour scheme
at an exhibition in Italy last autumn has inspired the manufacturer to produce
a limited production run of the model.
Instead of today's familiar Landini blue, the Powermondial 120 Classic will be
turned out in historic Landini colours of metallic grey with yellow wheels and
graphics. It will also sport additional equipment, including leather-look driver
and passenger seats.
Beneath the revived colour scheme is a thoroughly modern tractor featuring a
transmission with three-speed powershift and power shuttle, powerful threepoint
linkage and a Perkins 'electronic' engine with up to 121hp output.
Just 54 examples of this special edition will be available worldwide – the
quantity chosen reflects the 1954 launch of the Landini L55, one of the most
powerful 'hot bulb' engine tractors of its time. And only six of these tractors is
currently destined for the Britain – making it a very exclusive machine indeed.


text: Ammende Villa offers an airport shuttle (available on request) for EUR 150 per vehicle roundtrip. The restaurant is perfect for a bite to eat, and you can unwind with a drink at the bar/lounge or visit the sauna for a relaxing end to the day. A terrace and a garden are other highlights at this upscale hotel, and rooms offer 24-hour room service and LCD TVs.

It's no big secret that I harbor a certain disdain for the media. I have mentioned here several times my lamentations over the fact that the media has long since abandoned any sort of objectivity when it comes to how it treats damn near anything; in particular politics, and politicians.
We all know that MSNBC is simply the Democrat's mouthpiece, and that Fox News is the Republican's mouthpiece. What's utterly baffling to me though is how both of those "news" outlets balk at anyone who dares to point out these networks definite biases, or they will simply cut that person off, and say, "Okay, we've run out of time and have to go." In the process of them defending themselves they will throw the other network under the bus as the one which is full of bias, but most certainly not them. Oh no, they (whichever one is on the defensive) are the network which is spreading the truth, and setting the record straight. Yeah, whatever helps you sleep at night.
Now I have also said multiple times that when it comes to each of our personal biases it is next to impossible to fully divorce us from them. We carry them with us wherever we go, and they will creep into even the most objective journalist's writing. The problem though is that a journalist should be in the businesses of reportage. Unfortunately though, there are too few journalists these days, and too many editorialists. A journalist should be reporting the facts. However an editorialist expresses and presents their opinion as fact. You know what they say about opinions – everyone has one; and by insisting that yours is better than every other persons only makes you an asshole – but that's just my opinion; I could be wrong.
Now, going back to a lack of any attempt at journalistic objectivity and the obvious slant and bias that appears in many media outlets, a recent entry on Reason.com's blog, Hit & Run, highlights just how some who purport to be journalists are all snug in bed with their favorite politician(s) – in this case President Obama.
The basis for that blog entry comes from a December 2nd article on Politico entitled "Left Wing Media Has 'Issues' with President Obama," and as this article reports, and the Reason.com entry editorializes, there are some (Hendrik Hertzberg) who have come right out and say that now that President Obama has won reelection they can now start asking President Obama the hard questions, and be more critical of him … Um, okay, thanks there folks for making sure that your chosen profession (journalism) maintains its position as the "Forth Estate/House" of government. Your job is not to be silent for fear that asking those tough questions, or being even a little critical might cost a politician their reelection bid. Your job is to ask those tough questions, expose fallacies, be critical of errors and failures, and hold ALL of our politicians accountable – regardless of whether doing these things might hurt your favorite politicians' chances of winning reelection. Willful blindness is complicit guilt, and zealotry.
Very few people really like zealots. They cannot be reasoned with because of their blind allegiance to whatever they have such zeal for. We all have a friend who has their favorite sports team, and they simply think that team hung the moon – particularly when that team is winning. I have friend who is a Notre Dame alum and carrying on a conversation with him about his alma mater this year is torturous, due to his over the top zeal for his team being #1 and playing for the National Championship. He cannot, and will not acknowledge, or recognize any faults with his beloved Fighting Irish and refuses to even allow for the possibility that Alabama could, quite possibly, win that game.
That's college football though, and the blind zealotry of fandom for some comes with the territory; most of it is harmless, and none of it really affects the governance of our country. Being a political zealot though is another thing. Being blind to your favorite party's errors, misdeeds, mistakes, and stances on issues that you feel are wrong, simply because it might hurt someone's chances at getting elected should make you feel dirty; particularly when your job is to report on government. Having such an allegiance to a political party over your own individual beliefs, your professional duties, and even over the country you live in is not healthy for either you, or your country – though it probably does help the party to have a nice little devoted zombie in their ranks.
Conversion and zealotry, just like revelation and apostasy, are flip sides of the same coin, the currency of a political culture having more in common with religion than rational discourse. (Norman G. Finkelstein)

The romantic relationship between St. Paul City Council member Amy Brendmoen and Parks and Recreation Director Mike Hahm violates no official city rules, but it has irked some city advocates.
They point to an upcoming series of budget discussions between the council and department leaders as an example of the tricky political tightrope that the two city leaders will have to navigate in the coming months.
That, on top of a sensitive vote about privatizing the management of the Como and Phalen golf courses, has put the relationship under a microscope both officials call unwarranted. Romantic relationships between adults who work closely together are fairly common in government and any other milieu.
"I make policy decisions based solely on what I believe is in the best interest of the citizens of the ward, and of the city," said Brendmoen, who has represented Ward 5 since January 2012.
The council member said she took care to consult with the city attorney on ethics rules. "My colleagues and I need not recuse ourselves from votes unless the vote would create personal financial gain," she said.
Nevertheless, her professional life and Hahm's have intersected on a regular basis. Funding for parks, playgrounds and rec centers is always a politically sensitive issue in St. Paul, where many centers have lost staffing or have been leased out to private nonprofits for management.
This month, she voted with the rest of the council to move $91,000 from the $6 million remodel of the Palace Rec Center on West Seventh Street to complete two bikeways on Griggs Street and Jefferson Avenue.
In January, Brendmoen sided with the council majority in a 4-3 vote to privatize management of the Como and Phalen golf courses, a proposal that had been encouraged by Hahm and the mayor's administration.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with their relationship, but I do think she should be excusing herself from certain votes," said Ward 5 resident Dan Zangs, who opposed contracting with Prom Catering to manage the two golf courses. "That to me is weird. It doesn't look right."
In a separate decision, the city chose last year not to renew its lease with Black Bear Crossings, a cafe located by Como Lake. Alongside the mayor's administration, Brendmoen and Hahm had been critical of the vendor, and cafe owner David Glass — a possible city council candidate — is suing the city for defamation and damages.
Hahm said his relationship with Brendmoen was disclosed to the city attorney and his city colleagues, and he has taken care to keep his personal life and the decisions he makes as parks and rec director separate.
"My work is professional, transparent and performed faithfully and impartially according to the law and the best of my ability," he said.
Hahm was appointed by the mayor and his position was approved by the seven-member city council in January 2009. The council meets with each director to discuss proposed annual budgets as part of an overall city budget process that is voted on in December. The council can also vote to add or remove spending items to the mayor's budget proposal.
Brendmoen was elected to represent the North End and Como area in November 2011 and has chaired the Housing and Redevelopment Authority since January. She had been married since 2001 but filed for divorce in January. The divorce was finalized a month later.
Since then, she and Hahm have neither advertised nor made a special effort to hide the fact they're now dating. City Council President Kathy Lantry said the relationship breaks no rules, as Hahm reports to the mayor, and not to any one particular council member. Lantry said she's seen no evidence of impropriety.
"First of all, Amy's one vote," Lantry said. "And Mike Hahm has to follow the direction of Christopher B. Coleman. I have much confidence in Amy as a colleague and Mike as a director that they have enough professional acumen to wade through this."
City Attorney Sara Grewing said city ethics rules would require council members to remove themselves from votes where they hold financial interest, including monetary gain by the public official's spouse, employer, dependent or a person who lives with them.
"It does not apply to other relationships, friends or family members," she said in a statement.
Tonya Tennessen, spokesman for Coleman, said: "In a strong mayor structure like ours, the directors are appointed by, get direction from and carry out the agenda of the mayor. Mayor Coleman appointed Director Hahm in 2009, and appreciates all he is doing to carry out the mayor's vision for vital public spaces that are so integral to St. Paul."
Romantic entanglements between public officials are hardly unprecedented.
Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges is married to Gary Cunningham, who sits on the Metropolitan Council, which is working closely with the city on a controversial alignment for the Southwest light-rail line, among other issues.
During the St. Paul mayoral administration of Norm Coleman, Tim Fuller served as fire chief while his wife, Martha Fuller, served as finance director. Under Mayor Randy Kelly, she served as director of planning and economic development while her husband continued as chief.
The relationship between Brendmoen and Hahm has nevertheless raised hackles with some supporters of Black Bear Crossings' Glass.
Glass has made public that Brendmoen visited him in April 2013 and questioned whether his venue was drawing enough business to meet its "public purpose." He said she encouraged him to take on a partner, such as the popular Sea Salt Eatery in Minneapolis.
Soon after, the Parks and Recreation Department informed him the city would not honor the option in his contract for a five-year lease extension.
"The city first contacted us about alleged breaches only after Amy Brendmoen had determined that she wanted another vendor in our space," said Glass in a statement last December.
"Until that time, we received nothing but praise from the parks department," he said. He noted he had improved the once run-down pavilion and maintained it for 13 years.
Glass declined comment this week, citing ongoing litigation, but he has since spoken of possibly running for city council against Brendmoen.
"I told him I would support him if he did," said disability rights advocate Rick Cardenas, who uses the pavilion for meetings and trainings. "I thought it was a little bit of a conflict."
Hahm said he would not comment at length on pending litigation except to say the "city's dispute with the current vendor has been very public and widely reported upon."
Brendmoen said her "advocacy toward realizing the highest and best use for the Como Lakeside Pavilion is certainly not personal."

Legal action against the Government over the 2001 foot and mouth outbreak moved closer after a ministry vet admitted failing to carry out a rigorous inspection of the farm where the outbreak began.
The disclosure came in a written submission to the Anderson inquiry, which is seeking lessons from the £8 billion outbreak.
Jim Dring, who was a Ministry of Agriculture vet, admitted that it would not have occurred if he had reviewed the licence of Bobby Waugh, the Northumberland farmer, to feed swill to pigs. He inspected the farm 10 days before the outbreak.
"Had the inspection been more rigorous, had the licence not been renewed, or renewed only subject to radical revision of the Waughs' patently deficient feeding technique, this awful epidemic would never have come about."
Swill users, who were closed down by the Government after the outbreak on the Waugh brothers' farm, are considering legal action against the Government.
Lynda Davies, of the Association of Swill Users, told Farmers' Weekly: "This shows us that Maff/Defra bears a huge responsibility for the spread of foot and mouth."

Fila at the U.S. Open: Jankovic, Pliskova, Shvedova, Isner, and Seppi
The Open is the final chance of the year for the big clothing brands to present new gear to their consumers. And so it is with Fila, whose new Heritage Collection will be worn by their team at Flushing Meadows. We've got more info on the line we previewed almost a month ago. For the Women's Heritage Collection, black takes the place of navy in their traditional color palette, joining the classic shades of red and white. In all, the line for women consists of six different tops, including four tanks, as well as cap sleeve and ¾ long sleeve styles.
Here are the looks Fila's pros will be wearing at the U.S. Open:
Jelena Jankovic
JJ's pieces are designed with color-blocked patterns and contemporary blurred stripes to create a flattering silhouette and offer a modern aesthetic. The bottoms, including a pleated skort in red and black color options as well as a black short with a stylish striped belt, allow for easy coordination with any of the collection's tops.
The tennis dress also comes in black and white.
Karolina Pliskova
Two flattering Heritage Dresses (like Pliskova's, above) with curve-defining cut lines and color blocked patterns, bring a fresh femininity to the classic Fila design. Rounding out the collection is the Heritage Jacket, which steals the show with its high cropped, waist-accentuating peplum.
Yaroslava Shvedova
The Men's Heritage Collection features a fresh new take on Fila's staple crewnecks, polo shirts, short, and pant styles. While classic red, white, and blue shades are plucked directly from the brand's archives, new details such as pinstriped textured mesh, ergonomic seam lines, contemporary patterns, and high-quality stretch fabric give the iconic collection a fresh and updated style.
John Isner
The line features five different silhouettes of tops, including three crewneck options and two polos shirts. The Heritage Short, offered in both white and navy hues, pairs back to each top. The collection would not be complete without the Heritage Jacket, which now sports a pinstripe pattern and a raised rubber logo.

2 Days on a Canoe
The real deal.
A two day adventure on the rivers of central Java. An opportunity to enjoy nature from a different point of view.
Day one we paddle on the Oyo river, a soft flowing river sometimes with some exciting rapids, amidst surreal beautiful nature. Before sunset, we set up camp on the riverbank. We help the guide prepare a local meal and spend the rest of the night enjoying the peaceful and quiet ambience.
The second day starts with a big rapid just before the Oyo river joins the Opak river. From here on we paddle through a more inhabited area and enjoy watching village life on the river banks. Just before reaching the ocean, we get out of the water and walk to the fish market. The fresh fish is prepared for us in a cozy restaurant overlooking the ocean.

I'll be swatching these VERY soon but in the meantime, the gray creme contains fine silver glitter (so pretty), the blue creme is actually a true teal (my camera's making it look blue), the black is a jelly-creme with metallic gold glitter shards (I posted sneak-peek swatches on Instagram today both with top coat and without top coat) and the glitter polish contains blue and holo stars and fine holo glitter.
Please check back soon for my full review of the Get Spotted kit! In the meantime, have you purchased anything from the new Fing'rs display yet?
And thanks again, Jolie Mann, for the tip on where to find this display in San Diego. I really, really appreciate that!!
