Dog training collars have created a good buzz across the canine community. Many pet product manufacturers are making good business by selling electronic dog training collars. It is however important for the owners to know the features of a good dog training collars, so they can buy the right thing for their dogs.
Training your dog by using a electronic dog collar is completely a humane process and doesn't create any kind of discomfort to your dog. The low static stimulation that a remote training collar gives to a dog helps him/her to concentrate on the verbal commands that the trainer delivers. Doubtlessly the stimulation training system is million times more safe and humane and more effective than the traditional choke collar and prong collar training process. With a remote control electronic dog training process discards the need for the choke chain or prong collar.
Area of the field of operation (distance between the transmitter and the dog wearing the collar) is another thing. A good device features an effectiveness from a distance up to 500 feet and the trainers gets good control and the dog soon identifies the commands. However, there are better devices that covers even up to 800 meters. The contemporary hi-tech devices works on remotes with transceiver technology and has gained a great popularity among dog lovers. The LCD screen is an added advantage in the better ones and it helps you by clearly displaying your dog's activities.

Dog bark collar has created a good buzz in the market and is used by many professional trainers who train their dog to bark or stop barking on command. The device works in a very simple principle where a Sound Impact Sensor detects sound vibration as the dog start barking and generates a ultrasonic sound as the mode of correcting the undesirable barking. As soon as the dog perceives the ultrasonic sound from the collar worn around his neck, he stops barking and this is what the trainer encashes while training the dog not to bark or only to bark on command.
Dog bark collar training is based on 3 basic principles:
First - Determining the reason(s) of barking is the most important phase of bark collar training... This helps the trainer address the root cause of the problem.
Second - Deterring nuisance barking... In this phase the trainer uses the bark collar. The device helps in making barking a bitter experience for the dog because it generates the ultrasonic sound which is unpleasant for the dog. By this, the barking itself becomes unpleasant for the dog. Plus the trainer doesn't reward the dog for barking.
Third - The dog gets rewarded for stop barking. when the dog stops barking the trainer praises him and reward him with his tidbits, which encourages the dog not to bark.
Technology based dog training methods have never been so easy until such devices was invented. You can find more information on dog bark collar here: http://www.dogbarkcollar.com
All pet food companies claim to offer perfectly balanced nutritional benefit through their commercial food brand, but not all of them do as they say. While most of them are engaged in ballooney talks, some ethical manufacturers try to offer perfect nutritional values in their foods. Most of the commercial dog food manufacturers use more fat and protein in their food, which helps them easily convince the owners by showing faster development. Most dog owners have been accustomed to believe in the myth that high levels of fat and protein is important for their dog's perfect growth. Big Mistake!
The science of choosing the dog food for your German Shepherds should neither be based on the higher level of fat and protein, nor on the cost. It is unwise to believe that higher the cost is, better the food. On the other hand, low cost food should not be considered economical. Higher levels of fats and proteins hugely magnifies the chance of dogs getting obese, and more prone to conditions - especially related to heart. Low cost foods, however, are mostly of low quality and lack in nutritional values and eventually lead to a series of nutritional deficiency disorders.
German shepherd Dogs were bred for working. But they have found their space in the drawing rooms in apartment. In most cases the amount of exercise that are given to the GSDs in families are much below the required level. It is hence important to understand how much fat, protein and carbohydrate does your German shepherd Dog need, based on the volume of calorie it burns each day. Germans Shepherds are easily prone to gain weight - especially if they are kept on high level of fat and protein and does not get enough exercise.
It is also important to understand the digestive system of German Shepherd Dog breed. German Shepherd has a short colon. Comparatively high fiber diet is a great option for this breed. This reminds me of William D. Cusick who published his first book - "Canine Nutrition & Choosing The Best Food For Your Breed Of Dog" in the year 1990 states: "The German Shepherd originated in the Alsatian Region of Germany..." He says, "The German Shepherd is unique because it has a very short colon in comparison to other breeds of the same body weight. For this reason a high fiber diet is required to slow the movement of food through this breed's digestive track, thereby allowing more time for the nutrients to be drawn out. This high fiber diet will result in a larger stool but better assimilation of the food." In this context I would like to mention that high fiber is not always a very good option for your German Shepherds, or any other canine breed. Fiber, which is an insoluble carbohydrates, blocks enzymatic digestion in the small intestine of the animals. High fiber sources are almost the sources for carbohydrates too, such as soya, rice, oat etc. Hence, it is suggested not offering too much of high fiber diet - especially soybean, corn are not very good for dogs. Give him green! Veggies are also rich in dietary fiber and is important for dogs! okra (lady's finger), leafy greens like cabbage are important ingredients. Most important of all is Spinach that very high nutritional value. Spinach is the significant source of antioxidants, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K, magnesium, manganese, iron, vitamin B2, calcium, potassium, vitamin B6, folic acid, protein, phosphorus, zinc, niacin and most importantly omega-3 fatty acids. If you choose to pick a commercial food, it is important to choose the one that comes closest to the recommendations by AAFCO.
Correct food for a particular dog
With unlimited number of choices it becomes really tough and confusing to choose the right food for your German Shepherd. Remember the selection of food may vary from dog to dog within the same breed. If you have more than German Shepherds, it is not necessary that all dogs should have the same food, just because they are all GSDs. But the dog food should be "complete and balanced" for "a particular life stage", according to AAFCO. There is no standard for phrases like "good quality food" and "premium food". Choosing the correct food for a particular dog involves a series of factors to be considered.
Protecting your dog is one of the most important things that should be kept in the forefront of your mind - especially if your dog is aggressive, not properly socialized and pregnant. It is important to fence your dog's yard. A physical fence is highly preferred over the electronic ones if your dog is not well trained. If you are planning to install an electronic or electric dog fence consider training your dog perfectly. All you need is to invest some time in training your dog to use the fence.
The basic principle of a dog fence training is to teach your dog to retreat back as soon as the hear the beep sound. However effective it is, no containment system will work for you if you cannot train your dog to identify the sound to hold back. The training is easy, and easier if you can hire a professional dog trainer for a few weeks. All you need to do is to introduce your dogs to the containment system and teach them what exactly you want them to do (hold back - not moving ahead) when the hear the alert beep.

Some of the German Shepherd Dog breeders, I have noticed, stress on making money by breeding and selling puppies. Most of these breeders have not read the breed standards thoroughly, while others are negligent about understanding the main purpose of breeding German Shepherds. The motive of this discussion is to remind the so called German Shepherd breeders of their responsibilities towards development of the breed. However, some breeders are really doing great by breeding good stock.
It is important to understand that German Shepherd breed standard is a set of regulation that chiefly applies to the show dogs. The main criteria of breeding is not to enhance the look, but to retain the working ability of the breed. Most renowned and reputable breeders still spare less thoughts over the look of the dog. They still believe that "UTILITY IS THE TRUE CRITERION OF BEAUTY". Although the working heritage of this breed has diluted to the great extent, still there's no point in breeding bulkier, over-sized, heavy boned dogs that could be considered as a showcase dog, rather than actual GSD. So called breeders should meet at least the most important requirement for instance sound temperament, correct anatomy, proper size, etc. However, coloration is not that important in a working dog. Most show people have been motivated by a few non-educated breeders to run after rich markings. It is immensely important to remember that "NO GOOD DOG IS A BAD COLOR". Your dog with improper anatomy and size is not going to win an award just for his rich color and markings.
As a continuation of the GSD breed standards, I would rather say that GSD people should not consider taking the breed standard as just a breed guideline. Didi you know that the breed standard has been recently amended in terms of hair types? Please read about it here
Although flat headed breeds that have protruding eyes are more prone to eye discharge problems, yet many German Shepherds have this common problem. Part from discharged eyes, German Shepherds, alike any other breed can have eye problems. Eye problems in GSDs are often time noticed in old dogs. Some of the very common symptoms of eye problems in your GSD are however:
German Shepherd owners often complain that their adolescent German Shepherds are limping. This might be something that can be of real concern for the owners! Both panostitis (pano) or hip/ elbow displasia - two most dangerous genetic disorders, can be the cause, although it's not always true.
Panosteitis in the GSD used to be too common, as for some of the other large breeds like Golden Retrievers, Rottweilers, Dobermans, Labradors, Mastiffs and Great Danes to mention just a few... With the rising awareness and consciousness, the diseases like displasia, panostitis (also called long bone disease, shifting leg lameness and growing pain disease) have brought under control to a great extent through selective breeding. Not to be confused between the two, dysplasia is caused due to looseness occurs in the the hip or elbow joint(s), while panostitis is inflammation of long leg bones. Although with selective breeding and planned breeding programs the chances of having displasia and pano are very rare these days, but still dogs bred by novice, irresponsible and illiterate breeders can produce progenitors with such disorders. If your young or adolescent German Shepherd is limping or exhibiting signs of pain in his bones, chances are their that s(he) is suffering from the shifting leg lameness. It is essential to check out the other symptoms in order to confirm that your GSD has displastic hip or pano.
Symptoms of Panosteitis in your young German Shepherd
Firstly consider the age... the onset of panostitis in GSD is noticed between 6 to 18 months of ages. However middle-aged German Shepherd Dogs may be afflicted to the condition, though not very common. Other symptoms include:
a) pain is acute and noticed suddenly.
b) pain causes lameness
c) pain gets shifted from one leg to the other.
d) your dog may be reluctant to go walk
e) intensity of the pain can be fluctuating
f) your GSD can suffer loss of appetite
g) your dog may have an increase in the numbers of white blood cells. elevated white blood cell, accompanied with fever and sometimes tonsillitis
Symptoms of Displasia in your GSD
a) displasia - both elbow and hip are caused by deformed joint (looseness) and results in arthritic changes in the joints
b) the mobility of your dog will be compromised
c) cause inflammation, accompanied with joint pain
d) the pain is maximum in the morning at the time of rising
e) your dog will have problem during small jumps
f) your GSD will stop eating, causing weakness
These are the most common and talked about inheritable orthopedic conditions, that are of really issue of concern of you, if your GSD exhibits all or most of these symptoms. After the thorough examinations, the vet may recommend the suitable medication. But the prime most important thing is that, physical exercise or work will worsen up the conditions. However, Hydrotherapy sessions can help your GSD puppy recover from the the hip displasia. Check out the other common genetic ailments in German Shepherds.

If you are planning to groom your German Shepherd Dog by yourself at home, ther's nothing like that. Assuming that he is conditioned to grooming that includes bathing, nail clipping, brushing, ear cleaning, it is important to plan a routine work for maintain your German shepherd's hygiene at home itself. It is better for your GSD and you both to carry on a weekly grooming session for your GSD at home, which may save a good amount of money. You cannot find a professional dog grooming parlor that can offer a satisfactory service at less than $30 per grooming session. Do-It-Yourself Dog grooming for Rover will save you at least $1000 annually. In the down trodden economy, it is worthy enough to think of saving a few dollars.
German Shepherd sheds heavily and throughout the year. Regular (twice a week, if not daily) brushing is highly recommended. Brushing your German Shepherd's coat will; keep him fresh and free from dead follicles, tangles and mattes.
Problem is if you are not an experienced owner, you might end up with the worst experience in your life if Rover has not been conditioned to grooming, bathing, or nail clipping. Fact remains, no professional groomer will be eager to groom a full grown GSD that has not been socialized and seasoned with experiences like grooming. If he is not well trained and conditioned to such situations, good chance is there that he is going to attack the stranger who's going to approach him with tools and apparatus. Grooming starts at home and in the early stage. Behavioral grooming is teaching him how to behave in the way desired. Obedience training at the early phase of his life finds the most vital role to play here. Behavioral grooming is the start of all kind of grooming in a dog and especially for large and giant breeds like GSD, Labrador, Doberman, Great Dane, Irish Wolf Hound etc. behavioral training has an immense significance. Check out a few economic tips for German Shepherd grooming

Many of us feel like we do all we can to protect our kids and our kids aren't at risk, yet statistics show that any child could be a victim. Studies reveal that about 20% of women and 10% of men experienced sexual abuse as children. Sexual abuse crosses all socioeconomic groups, all racial groups, all ethnicities, and all neighborhoods. Often the perpetrators are the least suspected: a family member, a coach, a neighbor.
Signs of abuse in kids can be subtle. They are often attributed to something else.
If kids do try to talk about feeling scared or not safe with someone: LISTEN. They don't make this stuff up!
I appreciate the organizations that require background checks on all adults around kids. I have had my background checked on many occasions: job related, coaching my daughter's cheerleading squad, volunteering at my children's school, and volunteering at a local children's theater. I was never offended by these requests and always supported these checks, but some parents grumble. I suspect they just don't understand. Many schools, sports organizations, and scouting organizations require teachers and volunteers to have routine background checks. Does yours?
Do you ask if the adults supervising your children have had background checks?
Most do not.
I am not even sure how I feel about this. I suspect it gives a false sense of security, knowing that many abusers have many victims before being caught. They would have normal background checks. They are often personable, friendly, someone who grooms victims and their families to gain trust.
If background checks aren't full proof protection, what should a parent do? I believe that the best protection about abuse is to show love to your children, educate yourself and them about abuse, and frequently talk with them.
Knowledge is Power!
- Teaching kids about proper boundaries is important. Let them know that their swim suit area is private, and no one should be able to look or touch there without permission from mom or dad.
- Young children should learn their full address, phone number, first and last name (and first/last names of parents).
- Remind kids that there are no secrets between kids and their parents. They can tell you anything. They can keep your birthday gift a surprise though! Secrets that scare them are especially important to tell! They will NEVER get in trouble for telling about a scary secret.
- Know your children's friends, their friend's parents, teachers, coaches, piano teachers, etc. Offer to help as much as possible at school and activities.
- Be sure there are no secluded areas in the places your child goes. Kids should always remain in a group with adults. A minimum of two adults is safest.
- For your protection, if you must take other kids to a public restroom, stand in the main door with it open and let the kids go into stalls alone.
- Teach kids that adults will never need help from kids to find a missing puppy. Adults can ask other adults, not kids, for directions if lost. Give examples and role play.
- Caution kids when they wear shirts with their name clearly posted on the outside that strangers will "know" their name. Stay especially close when your kids have their name displayed. It is easier for a stranger to trick them: "Johnny, your mom told me to come get you. She is hurt. Come with me." What kid wouldn't question that???
- Question about new toys or gifts. Kids might earn token gifts from coaches or teachers as a reward system, but if your child is getting bigger, more expensive gifts, that is a cause for alarm.
- If kids are lost, have them find another child to ask for help. Usually the other child has a safe adult with them that can help. (Plus kids are less intimidated talking to other kids when they are already scared and lost.)
- Parents of today need to learn about protecting kids on line. Bullying now does not stop in the safety of one's home. On line threats, photos, and comments follow kids everywhere and are very dangerous. Keep computers in public areas, monitor cell phone use, teach kids to never give identifying information on line, and use a computer monitoring system.
- Abusers often target kids who are feeling unloved. They groom those kids (and their families) by befriending them, making them feel special, and giving them gifts. The kids start to deeply care for that person, and then the confusion of feelings does not allow the child to easily tell on the person. Show your kids love in many ways: time spent one on one talking and playing (not watching tv), show interest in your children's activities, give good touches (ruffling hair, pat on the back, hugs), and build your child's self confidence.
Building confidence in kids is tricky. Be careful in how you word things... it is always okay to say "I enjoyed watching your game," whether your child was the star player or had a horrible game. You can say something about how proud you are of the effort they put into something even if the outcome wasn't good. Try to avoid saying "better next time," since that means they didn't do well this time. Praise frequently and honestly from the heart.
- Create a safe environment at home. If kids witness fighting among parents, or parents don't treat others with respect, the children will learn that this is acceptable behavior. They have a strong potential to get seriously injured at home or to enter abusive relationships as adults. Seek help if your home is not safe! Use a public computer if yours might be monitored and click here or call 1.800.422.4453 (1.800.4.A.Child) from a safe phone.
- Learn more about protecting against abuse and what to do if you suspect it. There are on line resources, such as TheSafeSide or PreventChildAbuse, and locally The Sunflower House to learn about abuse. GetNetWise and NetSmartz411 have information about keeping kids safe on line.

vCrypt-capable Nvidia ccMiner fork for Mining vDinar (VDN)
VDN (vDinar) is a relatively new regional-oriented crypto currency that has been getting more attention lately. It was CPU-mineable up until recently, though it seems that there is a ccMiner fork available (source) supporting the vCrypt algorithm that the coin uses for mining. The vCrypt algorithm is not entirely new mining algorithm, it is more like a variation of the Scrypt-N algorithm, though you are not able to mine vDinar with regular Scrypt-N miners.
Unfortunately there seems to be no binary version of the ccMiner for for Vcrypt, because it seems that the GitHub source of the Veles miner fork of ccMiner is incomplete and many people are having trouble compiling it by themselves. That is why we have compiled a 32-bit Windows binary of the miner with VC2013 and CUDA 8.0, it supports Compute 3.0, 5.0 and 5.2 and should work with pretty much any more recent Nvidia GPU. Do note however that the vCrypt algorithm is pretty heavy on the CPU, so you may have trouble achieving maximum hashrate if you have a slower dual-core CPU like the commonly used Intel Celeron processors for GPU mining rigs.
Performance wise you can expect something like 900-950 KHS from a GTX 1080 Ti, 700-ish from GTX 1070 Ti, 450-500 from GTX 1060, but that is only if you have a high-end CPU. With a slower processor such as Intel Celeron G3930 for example you might be getting just a fraction of the actual hashrate, because of the slow processor performance and the miner maxing out the CPU usage. You can try running multiple instances of the miner for better results and also feel free to play around and experiment with different launch settings to see if this might improve the situation with performance and share your findings, but again, have in mind that to get good performance with vCrypt on a multi-GPU mining rig you will need a really high-end CPU.

Contrary to 1995 movie Hackers, breaking into a computer system does not involve colorful cartoon characters. The act can be accurately represented visually, however, as proven in this excellent video created by Ben Reardon of Dataviz Australia.
Reardon's visualization transforms the act of hacking a voice over IP server into a strategic dance. The hacker shoots streams of red and white dot scans into the server, attempting to access user accounts, represented by blue bubbles. If the two meet, user accounts may be compromised, something we'd hate to see happen to anyone.
The server responds by releasing honeypots, shown here as green bubbles. These packets of disguised data will trap and confound the hacker's scans. The hacker responds by increasing the scans, attempting to flood the server to the point where the honeypots become ineffective.
In this demonstration, slowed down by 25 percent, the server is triumphant. This is just one of countless such attacks that occur every second, according to Reardon.
Sometimes it helps to visualize the process in order to better understand what occurs during events the human eye can't catch. It might not be as entertaining as the stage-diving data thieves depicted in the movies, but it's definitely a more effective learning tool.

Okay get this:
I'm a woman.
I'm an atheist.
I'm gay.
I have attended pro-choice protests.
I live in Alabama.
Yet I have not yet been beat up. Why is this? I'm living loud and proud, and I know there are haters out there, but nobody acts against me when I'm on my own. (When I'm out in public with a girlfriend, it's another story. People get hostile then.)
Oh wait, I forgot, I'm trained in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and could take on pretty much any attacker without a problem, so long as they weren't armed. Even if they were armed, I know how to disarm them and how to operate a gun. So I'm in a pretty good position. It would take multiple attackers with guns in order to take me down. So instead of getting beat up, I would probably be the one doing the beating.
Is it possible that people sense that I am strong and that is why they don't mess with me? And how come more gay people don't learn martial arts so that they can defend themselves?
Views: 423
I'm lost...do you desire a good ass whipping?
Most people are too apathetic or concerned only with themselves to give a rats ass about another person
Maybe I'm sheltered but it seems to me that females get the lesser end of the harrasment stick in the gay arena. I'm sure if you run your mouth to the right people you will get the fight that it seems you are seeking. However, I'd say you are a bit arrogant in your assumption of how bad ass you may be. I don't care what BJJ you know, you simply are not built to take a solid punch from say a guy even my size or bigger. That being said, how often do you hear of a man beating up a lesbian? One of the core tennants of martial arts in general is to avoid the fight at all costs. You seem like a persons with "small-man's disease" just waiting to show off your mad skills. I'll admit though, if you can move like Rhonda Rousey, I'd love to see a few girls test you out.
Bill Hicks on Alabama Xians. (054-1:25 if in a hurry)
I'm not looking for a fight, I just find it interesting that no one has harassed me, ever. There are a lot of muggings in the area where I live, but nobody's tried to mug me. If I sound arrogant, you have to understand that I actually did have an incident in India where I had heat stroke and I fought off orderlies in a hospital (my heat stroke caused me to become confused and think they were trying to hurt me). It took 10 of them to strap me down and administer a sedative. I didn't wake up until like two days later.
Oh, and in India, if I had not been hospitalized so early, I might have had to use my martial arts, because the men were horrible pervs. Most of the people I was with were female, and many were young and hot. I am not extremely hot but I do have DAT ASS so I was followed around as they were. Men even took photos of my butt. It was extremely uncomfortable to be stared at wherever we went. And then men would try to close in on some of the females I was there with. I was ready to take them down swiftly if they tried anything. I'm glad I didn't have to, though, because it would probably get me in trouble with India's law to break somebody's arm or whatever.
I have been trained in BJJ, Taekwondo, Muay Thai, Ninjitsu, Japanese Jiu Jitsu, Karate, and Krav Maga (by a former IDF Commando none the less) and Army Combatives (as I am also a member of the armed forces). I have been training in martial arts my whole life. I heavily doubt that people can sense it. The reason that people would leave me alone is because I am a 200 pound 6' 1" male who looks like I chew nails for breakfast. I also look like a complete muscle head (I'll admit it). I usually wear a beat up looking leather jacket and a military style (high and tight) hair cut. It's all about how people perceive you. If I walked up to someone and started a highly intelligent conversation they would be flabberghasted because I don't look like the intelligent type. Appearances do a lot. That, and I seriously doubt anyone really cares that much that they just HAVE to beat you up. It is a lot of trouble and the law doesn't protect them and they know it. I am thrilled that you haven't been beaten up, I would just take that as a good thing and leave it at that.
As far as handling an armed person, just hope they do what so many armed people do in the movies and on TV by poking their gun into the personal space of the person they are threatening.
It's hard to disarm someone who's 8 or 10 feet away.
Better yet (if you're the armed person), shoot first, fight after.
I've always found that trouble just slides off me - it's always been like that. If it doesn't, then apparently I have something of a reputation, I don't know where that came from. Something like what Kairan said.
Indeed it is! Lol thanks for the pic!

fringe and lace crop top - Postlapsaria (coming VERY soon)
DKNY cami
Jessica Simpson jeans
hat - Urban Outfitters
sunglasses - c/o Juicy Couture
Frye boots - c/o Frye (visit us at the Brooklyn Flea this Saturday!)
I've been getting a lot of inquiries about Postlapsaria's relaunch and believe me, there is no one who wants the site back up as much as I do! My friend has been redoing the site and we had a bit of a hiccup in the process, which set back the relaunch a little more than expected. I'm having all of the clothing photographed before I leave for Florida, so I finally feel like I can start wearing some of the garments. I was hesitant to do any previews because I'm not doing pre-orders - some of the items are really limited, depending on the fabric (there are less than ten of this top in this fabric). However, since everything but the photos are done, I'll be giving my readers sneak peeks throughout the next couple of weeks!

The Genetic Alliance UK submitted a presentation entitled The Wales Webinar on the Consultation on the UK Plan for Rare Diseases. The alliance believes that everyone living with a rare disease should be able to receive high quality services, treatment and support. The aim of their stakeholder engagement project was to encourage those affected by/interested in rare diseases to respond to a government consultation on a rare disease plan. The UK has never had a comprehensive plan a for rare diseases, even though 1 in 17 people will be affected by a rare disease at some point in their life, which amounts to approximately 3.5 million people in the UK. Samantha Reeve, Policy Research Officer for the alliance further discusses their experience with AnyMeeting.
"We held four events, in which participants watched live and put questions to the chair of RDUK, Alastair Kent. More importantly, AnyMeeting's recording function meant that our members could access the webinars at any time. In total, 408 people watched our recorded meetings for England, Wales, NI, and Scotland. Our members were really grateful that they could watch the slides whilst hearing Alastair explain things, and have the opportunity ask questions at the end."
"We really enjoyed hosting these webinars, being able to connect with our members who can't attend events. As a small charity, being able to use a free meeting service was fantastic! The stakeholder engagement event was really successful, and although we are waiting for the rare disease plan to be published, we think that it will reflect the interests and experiences of our members. It will also help patients access services and treatments like other patients, in no small part thanks to anymeeting!"

100 Weird Phobias that really exist!

Negative Thoughts and Mental Health Chat Rooms.
Hello dear bloggers. Once again I have been seriously neglecting my blog, and eventually the guilt takes over and I feel the need to write, even if I feel there is nothing particularly interesting to write about. But hey don't disappear just yet. I know this isn't the most attention grabbing first paragraph but lets see where my typing leads us.
Ok the Secret. I wrote a quick post about this because while I was listening to the audio I felt totally inspired. It grabbed both my attention and my imagination and I totally believed what I was hearing. I'm not going to say my opinion has changed now, its not that at all. But life can be pretty busy at times and basically I haven't had a chance to listen to the rest of it. There are a few interesting tips and good ways of looking at things, so when i eventually get back to it, i will take notes and post some info on here.
So what agoraphobic type issues do I have to talk about? Well since i no longer live my life obsession over agoraphobia I have stopped researching it as much. This includes self help books, audio, video etc but last week I decided to have a little look online. Im afraid I still didn't find the golden ticket, you know 'the cure'. What I was actually looking for was a video of someone having a Panic attack. Since Youtube pretty much has videos of anything, i thought that would be the best place to look. Maybe I wasn't looking very well but I actually couldn't find anything! Ok i found 2 videos. One is a man in a taxi driving through New York (i think) and if im honest I wasn't sure if it was a spoof. The next one I found was a man on a plane having a terrible time. This one seemed much more believable but actually a bit distressing. I suppose I was looking for someone like me, just sitting at home or out doing some shopping. Something more realistic. Anyway no such luck but what I did find was videos upon videos from people claiming 'Stop panic Attacks now', 'What to do if you panic in a supermarket' etc. Do you guys watch these videos and find them of any use?
I told you on previous posts that i was having a bit of a bad time with my anxiety and what felt like the onset of depression. Thankfully this has passed but at the time i decided that when I next had a panic attack I was going to film it from start to finish. Well unfortunately and fortunately I didn't have one again, but the little bit i did post on here before of the aftermath of quite a bad attack worked as quite a good distraction at the time.
What I also did was bought a notebook which i decided I would carry everywhere with me. I had done this before but with a piece of card with things written down to help me mid panic, you know that point when your heads all over the place and you cant quite concentrate. I'm sure many of you have tried the same thing or at least written down affirmations somewhere. When I think back to just over a month ago I was actually in a really bad place. I can admit I was having totally crazy thoughts, the worst Ive had in years. I was very down and everything was a bit gloomy for me. Talking to Jorg about this he tried to give me a kick up the bum and get me thinking positive. One of the tasks he gave me was that every night when I was writing my diary I was to list 5 positives from that day. I don't know if this is what has helped lift my mood but it does help you focus throughout the day and notice the little positives which you might have ignored in the past. Anyway, back to my notebook, i will share with you what I have wrote down. This is a bit of advice to myself either to calm me when I'm in a panic, remind me of reality or give myself a bit of metal motivation. See if it makes sense for you... No laughing ha
- This is your anxious head doing your thinking. Ignore it. Your thoughts are not rational right now.
- Breathe Lynn. In through your nose while counting to 3. Hold it for 3. The slowly out of your mouth for a count of 9.
- You are where you WANT to be (this one if for when i am away from home. I would want to run while panicking but this is a reminder that I am doing what i WANT to do. so no running!)
- See this hard time as a challenge
- This is a good way to get even stronger
- Be stubborn
- You have a choice here. Do you choose to give into this? No!
- Everything you want to do - you can do it! It is ALWAYS easier than your head tells you it will be.
- Go out everyday and do SOMETHING. No matter how small.
- Always attempt things that scare you. When you succeed you will feel the buzz. If you panic well at least you tried it. If you don't at least try it, you will never get anywhere, you'll kick yourself and the anxiety will have won.
- When your anxious, think of someone really confident and imagine what THEY would do in that situation.
- Kick Ass!!!
Wow what words of wisdom ha. Most of this is totally common sense but it is so easy to forget common sense while in the grip of panic. The most difficult thing is changing your thinking isn't it? When your in that mind set it can completely absorb you, and this is what I was going through for a couple of months.
One night I was thinking about my day and realising the mental struggle I had just gone through. A day of voices in my head. No no not the crazy voices where a little demon is telling me to do bad things. Just the anxious voice and the realistic voice. I realised the conversation throughout the day would probably go like this...
- Bad - Morning. I'm still tired and feel a little anxious. Maybe I will panic in a minute
- Good - No you wont. You know you can sometimes feel like this when you just wake.
- Bad - Yeh but maybe it wont go away this time
- Good - It will, it always does
- Bad - Ugghh look at that grey sky, a depressing day i should stay in
- Good - Don't be silly, life goes on. Ill go do something productive
- Bad - Like what. I don't want to go far. All my friends are busy. Ill stay in
- Good - No you will go out and feel better for it
- Bad - (walking to the shops) have u got your phone, you might panic while walking here
- Good - Got it, but wont need it
- Bad - Might need it actually. Might panic in this shop and totally freak out
- Good - You'll be fine
- Bad - Nah you might panic real bad and need help and not be able to walk
- Good - Not gonna happen
- Bad - Well that wasn't a great day, you didn't do much, didn't see anyone
- Good - but I still went out so that's good. I didn't sit in and mope
- Bad - yeh but your alone now with nothing to occupy you so you will prob get anxious
- Good - No i can relax and have a nice time just chilling out
The sad thing about this is that it goes on constantly throughout the entire day with far more negative thoughts than I even realise. But when I thought about it that night I felt utterly exhausted! What a battle to put myself through every. single. day. For you guys out there going through the same thing, my sympathy is with you because its bloody awful! But on a positive note, like I always say, 'this too shall pass'. I have had some really dark times but they do always pass. Its just important to have patience and not beat yourself up too much. At least that's what I try to do.
For women out there, have you noticed a change in your mood at your time of the month? I didn't for years but recently it has become more and more apparent that my cycle affects me. When I was at my lowest it was coming up to that time of the month and for the first time in over a year I just cried. I felt so down and totally hopeless. Yeah we all get PMT but for it to actually affect my thoughts and anxiety was quite new. The answer to this??? I don't know. I just tell myself that it will be over in less than a week and knowing there is possibly a reason that I am more anxious seems to help.
While online I also noticed more and more mental health chat rooms. Do any of you use them? I understand that maybe people find comfort in these chat rooms, talking to people who understand them and can empathise. But I take a different view. Yes I have agoraphobia but this doesn't define me. When you eat, sleep and breathe that you are an agoraphobic then I would say your gonna find it pretty difficult to move on from it. There is far more to me than that. And sometimes, when I am feeling good I can actually forget about it and have a 'normal' life. It is not the be all and end all. And when in these chat rooms I feel it is a reminder of an illness. Ok i realise that people in there have fun and joke around and stuff. But I feel like in the back of my head the reminder would always be there that I am in this room because I have a problem. And these people have a problem. And then eventually someone new joins and they ask what your problem is, and you tell your sordid tale all over again. And really what is this doing to help you? Also what if you are attempting to get better and your trying out some new therapy or relaxation method and one of the members quickly tells you 'Oh I tried that and it didn't work'. Well talk about a confidence booster. Do we really need to hear about peoples failures? I say this because in the past i DID try these rooms. When I was at my most desperate I would turn to such websites for help, but I never found it. I was so desperate to find that agoraphobic who had been cured. Who had gotten over it and could tell me how they managed it. But I never found one person on there who had overcome agoraphobia. And this actually made me think that NO ONE had ever gotten over it. All the therapies and other methods I tried seemed completely pointless. I guess the simple answer to this is that all the agoraphobics who have truly got over this are out enjoying life and are too busy an occupied with other things to sit down and go on to a chat site to talk about an unpleasant part of their past that they would rather forget. And then these is the final point that sadly you will find people in these rooms who are so completely frustrated, sad, lost, desperate with life. And Even though they think they want to get better, they never really try anymore. And so when you start making progress and getting your life in order they will quickly beat you down because they don't want to hear about someone having successes when they themselves are failing. Do we need that? I don't.
I admit i don't find it helpful but forgive me if you don't agree. If you find these sites helpful, or you've found a recovered agoraphobic then good for you. We all find different things that work for us. But I would like to think that if someone told me they were trying a new technique that had failed for me, that i would still encourage them and give them as much hope as possible. We all need to see light at the end of a tunnel, and not that of an oncoming train. It actually makes me regret previous posts where I have talked about nothing working for me but imsure even in those I would have said that just becayse it didnt work for me... it may work for you.
Ok the guilt of not writing my blog for a while is lessened slightly the only issue I have now is that i think this post is rambling nonsense ha.
What do I have coming up? Not a great deal. Out everyday walking and driving. Spending as much time with Gerry as possible. Seeing the kids as much a possible but I am enjoying the change in weather. Already it is having a positive effect. It is still cold but the sun has been shining lately and today I was buzzing. I have been very busy lately and my thoughts have calmed, I am just living at the moment and not having these mental battles as much. I have some more dental appointments coming up and im ok with this. Finally all the cosmetic stuff is starting so I will hopefully have a smile to be proud of soon. Oh And I have been looking into Volunteering! I have found an adult literacy class and am hoping to be getting involved with that as soon as possible. The class is for adults who cant read or have very limited skills and I have offered myself as a tutor. I would love the chance to do it and help people out in someway, i think it would be very rewarding and to be honest I need to find something to do with my time. I am still a long way away from returning to work although I do look locally for any part time positions which may be available. No such luck as yet. And so I bid you goodbye dear reader. And if you have read this far than I congratulate you and thank you.

The Secret
Ok who's read this? 'The Secret' by Rhonda Byrne.
My parents read it and they were talking about it for days. Then I heard some celebs mention it on TV. My curiosity got the better of me. What's it all about? It's about positive thinking and the law of attraction. Exactly what Jorg has been teaching me. I thought I had anxiety figured out, and have known for years that its my thoughts that cause my feelings, but lately this has been even more obvious. I have a feeling quite a few of you will have read it already but I am going to post some of the best bits.
In the meantime, if you have read it, whats your thoughts on it?

Warner Bros. and Paramount are competing for the rights to developing a film based off the popular video game series Splinter Cell. According to Deadline, the studios are in talks with video game developer Ubisoft, which means that the movie will be based off the games rather than the Tom Clancy novels that inspired the series. Paramount is reportedly the frontrunner to acquire the property, which follow the adventures of covert operative Sam Fisher and his cool night vision goggles. There have been six games thus far with the seventh in the series, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, having recently been revealed at this year's E3. Because video game adaptations tend to be terrible, Ubisoft is determined to have more control over the property (they're also taking the same approach with the adaptation of Assassin's Creed). At least they learned a lesson from Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.
If Paramount picks up Splinter Cell, they will be even deeper in the Tom Clancy business. The studio is still trying to develop a reboot of the Jack Ryan franchise with Chris Pine as the new handsome-desk-jockey-hero with Kenneth Branagh set to direct. Paramount is also developing an adaptation of the spinoff novel Without Remorse, which features the far more interesting character John Clark (previously played by Willem Dafoe and Liev Schreiber). Hit the jump to see the trailer for Splinter Cell: Blacklist.

For footballers, hamstring injuries remain one of the major reasons players spend time on the sideline.
The hamstrings are the group of muscles found at the back of the thigh. A strain has three levels of grading.
Injuries usually occur at the end of the swing phase in running, as the leg swings forward and the knee straightens. The hamstrings at this stage act to stop the forward movement of the leg and to bring the foot down.
There are certain factors that can increase the risk of getting a tear. These can include:
In order to assess and treat hamstring injuries, a distinction must be made as to whether the cause is a direct result of a specific trauma, for instance a sudden tear when striding, or is it due to a gradual dysfunction in the leg, pelvis or lower back.
For all initial injuries the immediate treatment is the RICER procedure:
An accurate diagnosis is essential especially if the injury is a recurring one. An assessment by a physiotherapist or a doctor will help to determine the exact cause of any underlying problem. A CT scan and diagnostic ultrasound can help clarify this. If there is a pathology with the lumbar spine that is causing irritation in the sciatic nerve, this may be causing the pain in the hamstring to resemble a tear.
This back related hamstring strain often feels like a gradual tightening in the muscles rather than a sudden sharp pain. It often produces a constant ache even when resting, but can also be a pain only when running or kicking. A physiotherapist will be able to diagnose the problem and concentrate treatment on mobilising the joints in the lower back to take the strain off the nerves. This type of injury can be very debilitating, and if not treated early can cause many weeks out of the game. In serious cases surgery may be required as well as an early retirement from the game.
When the cause has been determined to be coming from the muscle itself, the prescription of anti-inflammatory medication by the doctor and treatment by the physiotherapist using ultrasound and electrotherapy can help reduce inflammation and relax the muscle.
Soft tissue massage, once the bleeding has stopped will also control the formation of scar tissue. A stretching program will help to restore full range of movement. Initial stretches should be pain free and held for 20 to 30 seconds.
Rehabilitation of the injured hamstring goes further. It is essential to regain full strength in all the leg muscles once the pain has settled. This is essential to restore proper function in the lower limb. A balance in muscle strength between the quadriceps (front thigh muscles) and the hamstrings is vital.
Functional exercises are used as early as possible to avoid a loss of fitness and conditioning. For mild hamstring strains, it is now common to see the players doing light jogging after the acute stage of injury (48 hours).
This is only done if pain free and there is no striding out. When the inflammation settles gradually more difficult agility tasks are added. They may include backward, sideways and zigzag running. Straight line running is progressed gradually from ½ to ¾ then to full pace. Adding rapid accelerations and decelerations, changes in directions at speed and jumping will also make the training more specific.

CARBONDALE, Ill. — Southern Illinois was inspired offensively by coach Barry Hinson's return to the bench following a death in the family, and the Salukis shot 54 percent.
It wasn't nearly good enough against No. 8 Wichita State.
Fred VanVleet had 17 points, seven assists, two steals and no turnovers and the Shockers remained unbeaten behind 62 percent shooting, opening Missouri Valley Conference play with an 82-67 victory Thursday night.
"We're glad to get out of here with a win," coach Gregg Marshall said. "I knew that with everything that's been going on with Coach Hinson, the way the team had rallied around him and then with the tragedy with his family, we were honestly afraid that this team would pull out something special."
Hinson returned after missing one game due to the death of his son-in-law, 31-year-old Niles Thomason, on Christmas while visiting family. In an emotional postgame news conference, the usually fiery coach blamed himself for the loss, saying he just wasn't up to it.
He also pointed out that Wichita State was very, very good and coming off a Final Four appearance, and said the key to game was the "the little stinker VanVleet."
Last month after a loss at Murray State, Hinson called players "mama's boys," then later apologized for singling out a player for criticism.
"Tonight, I don't mind telling you I'm going to point the finger at me," Hinson said, his voice halting at times. "When you're 52 years old, you ought to be mature enough to at least figure out how to fake it, and get your guys energized.
"And I couldn't do that, so I take full responsibility."
Hinson said the death hit him hard on New Year's Eve.
"The biggest thing that bothers me is I'm a basketball coach and I'm a father and we fix things," Hinson said. "And I can't, I can't, fix this."
Cleanthony Early scored 23 points for the Shockers (14-0, 1-0), the preseason conference favorites. The 14-0 start is five wins better than the school's previous best and the 14-game winning streak matches the school mark set in 1953-54 under coach Ralph Miller.
"Like Coach says, it's easy to get a good look every time when you're setting yourself up," Early said. "It's easy to fall in love with just trying to score every time when you get a big lead like that but we stayed patient and stayed focused."
Sean O'Brien and Desmar Jackson had 19 points apiece for Southern Illinois (4-10, 0-1), which upset Wichita State at home last February the week after the Shockers had been knocked out of the Top 25.
"This group plays a little smarter than that group at times," Marshall said. "It starts with Fred."
Nick Wiggins added 13 points on 5-for-5 shooting for Wichita State.
Southern Illinois was out of it early despite its strong shooting. O'Brien topped his previous career best of 11 points.
Wichita State shot 59 percent to go with a 16-8 rebounding advantage and near error-free play while building a 49-32 halftime lead, committing its lone turnover with about 3 minutes to go.
The Shockers got contributions across the board with an 18-0 run over a span of 3:19 that made it 33-16 with just over 8 minutes to go. Darius Carter opened the run with consecutive baskets and the Shockers got three-point plays from Early and VanVleet plus 3-pointers by Wiggins and VanVleet.
Late in the half, Cotton and Early got behind the Southern Illinois defense on consecutive possessions in transition.
The Shockers are 30-8 on the road the last three seasons, best in the nation.

For more than a decade, Colorado has maintained a waiting list for most of its programs for people with developmental disabilities. Before the economic downtown in 2008, this often meant that a person with developmental disabilities who needed support to live as independently as possible in the community would have to wait 10 to 15 years before receiving services. The wait now is indefinite.
The issue is money, or the states lack thereof. Although the majority of Colorado programs for people with developmental disabilities is funded by Medicaid, the state has to match dollar for dollar with the federal contribution. During the last 10 years, Colorado has hovered between 46th and 48th in the nation when it comes to funding for developmental disabilities.
Since the recession, the situation has become dire. As a cost-savings method, Colorados Division for Developmental Disabilities has essentially closed enrollments into the program that provides residential (access to 24-hour) care. While people still can get on the waiting list, very few ever come off that list.
Historically, local communities managed their own waiting lists. When a person in a local community left a program (generally by moving out of state, enrolling in another program or dying), the next person on the list for that region would enter services. Now, when a person leaves a program, that slot is either left vacant or goes back to the state to use for emergencies across the state.
Under this system, even people in crisis situations are unable to access needed services immediately. There is a waiting list for emergencies. People with developmental disabilities can get on the emergency list only if they are homeless, experiencing abuse or neglect in their homes, or are a significant danger to themselves or others. People across the state are living in harmful or dangerous situations until the funding becomes available to support them.
In addition to these emergencies, thousands of people and families are living in stressful situations where the potential for harm may be imminent. Caregivers may be in a position where they are no longer in the emotional or physical condition to care for a person with developmental disabilitys basic needs. Yet because of the financial situation of DDD services, these caregivers have no option except to continue to provide the daily care their loved ones require, hoping against all reason that someday the needed services will be available.
Until then, organizations across the state such as our local Community Connections continue to help people and their families advocate for an end to the waiting. As the Colorado prioritizes its limited resources, the needs of these families must be heard. Because only a minority of people and families has the time, energy, resources or capacity to advocate effectively, it is up to their friends, neighbors and concerned community members to strive to correct the situation that leaves the needs of so many unmet.

Smith: Wade, Humphrey, Peterson 'not members of team'
Players enter 'not guilty' plea
Arkansas head football coach John L. Smith issued a statement Wednesday saying three players who were arrested in May in connection with a residential burglary are not on the team.
"Marquel Wade, Maudrecus Humphrey and Andrew Peterson are not members of our football team, and once the legal system has ruled on their status, we will determine their status with the team," said Smith, who was hired in the wake of the Bobby Petrino scandal.
The players, who are charged with felonies for allegedly burglarizing their fellow students' room, have entered not guilty pleas in Washington County Circuit Court.
Wide receivers Marquel Wade and Maudrecus Humphrey and tight end Andrew Peterson entered the pleas on Wednesday.
Smith said earlier that the three had not enrolled in summer school.
Judge Ray Reynolds' office confirmed the players entered the not guilty pleas.
Three other Razorbacks have faced charges this spring, including lineman Jason Peacock, who was sentenced last week to 10 days in jail after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor for stealing a student's debit card.
Wade was charged with residential burglary, while Humphrey and Peterson were charged with nine counts of residential burglary. The former Razorback players are accused of taking $5,000 worth of items from dorm rooms.

Calling all students and universities
The European Space Agency (ESA) is looking for innovative, imaginative ideas, concepts and technologies to enhance Europe's long-term Aurora programme for the robotic and human exploration of the Moon, Mars and asteroids.
Teams of graduate and undergraduate students from universities in Europe and Canada are invited to participate in this exciting programme by entering the Aurora Student Design Competition. Student teams will be expected to work with their professors and supervisors to produce a project relevant to the Aurora programme.
Each University, through its student team, can submit one project in each of the following five categories:
Flagship class missions
These are major missions intended to achieve important technological and scientific goals within the framework of the Aurora programme, such as carrying out a soft landing on a planetary surface or returning a sample from another object back to Earth. They may involve several independent elements, such as orbiters, sub-satellites, landers, rovers, penetrators, airborne robots, planetary ascent vehicles or re-entry vehicles.
Arrow class missions
These are cost-capped, rapid development missions to demonstrate new technologies or mission approaches (e.g. in preparation for more complex Flagship class missions). They might provide engineering or scientific data needed to constrain later mission designs. Arrow missions will also include concepts that exploit opportunities for 'hitchhiker' payloads to be carried on already planned European or international missions.
Human missions
Crewed missions beyond Low Earth Orbit, i.e. to beyond the International Space Station. The mission concepts might involve exploration of the Moon, Mars or asteroids, setting up of exploration-enabling space infrastructure or preparation/training activities required for later, more ambitious missions.
Surface robotics
Robotic systems enabling mobility or interaction of a landed or airborne spacecraft with the surrounding environment. They may include power generation, improved survivability, extension of lifetime and exploration capabilities, alternative locomotion systems, novel resources, such as energy or fuel, management approaches, alternative architecture, non-conventional materials etc.
New enabling technologies
Innovative technological concepts to enable or facilitate robotic and human exploration of the Moon, Mars and asteroids. Some of the key technology areas include power generation, propulsion, atmospheric entry, descent and landing, and communications.

I've been rolling on a hard-case tire for about 8 months on my rear wheel. Constant glass-shard flats and occasional snakebites finally pissed me off enough to swap out the OEM Bontrager Select 25mm tire for something beefier. A Little more than a month ago, my front OEM tire gave out, too. I replaced it with the 25mm Bontrager Race-Lite Hard-Case tire, too.
I haven't flatted once in the rear since I put this tire on. I haven't flatted in the front, either but it's only been a month.
One thing I noticed is that the rear seems to lock up a bit easier than the original tires. They also seemed to have a little bit of squirm to them when cornering hard, but I attributed it to the sidewalls being a bit less compliant.
Today, I put them to the test, unintentionally. I was coming down a steep viaduct and preparing to turn left. The left turn light went green, and I hammered to catch it while it was green. 40 MPH when riding down hill is easy to come by with this bike, and I was going about 40. I went to lean hard like you'd see a racer do, but the bike wanted to slide. I wasn't on the brakes, but I was going to wipe out if I didn't act fast. Not wanting to hit the front brake while it's washing out on the hot pavement, I opted to right myself a bit and hit the rear brake. It locked up instantly and I started skidding again. I counter-steered and feathered the front brake enough to scrub off some speed, but I wasn't going to make the turn. I finally got upright and feathered both brakes again to slow down as much as I could, and then ran head-on into a 4" tall curb between 10 and 15 MPH, doing as much of a bunny hop as I could muster. The front wheel bounced off the curb pretty good. The rear wheel hit hard. I got it shut down before I slid all the way into the concrete streetscape.
That mess narrowly avoided, I'm standing in a flower garden with my front wheel a foot away from a concrete wall. I click out and dismount, fully expecting a mess of mangled rims, broken spokes and pinch-flats.
Aside from two hefty skid patches on the rear tire (the worst shown below) and a roughed-up sidewall on the front, only one word describes the condition of my bike's rolling stock: "Unscathed"
I need to make sure the fork didn't take a beating, but I think these Hard-Case tires saved my wheels. They are, indeed, more bullet-proof than originally thought. Having said that, they don't grip nearly as well as my admittedly crappy OEM Bontrager Select tires. These are definitely not for racing.

Bontrager Hard-Case Tires: The good and the bad
I've been rolling on a hard-case tire for about 8 months on my rear wheel. Constant glass-shard flats and occasional snakebites finally pissed me off enough to swap out the OEM Bontrager Select 25mm tire for something beefier. A Little more than a month ago, my front OEM tire gave out, too. I replaced it with the 25mm Bontrager Race-Lite Hard-Case tire, too.

Noah, just how wide of a tire can you fit on that bike? I think you need to look at the Pasela Tourguards; I have over 5600 miles without a flat and I don't move for glass or road debris on my bike.

I can run 32s on it if I take the fenders off and if the wheels are 100% perfectly true. And with some more tweaking to the front brakes. I don't think they recommend any wider than 28.
These are great tires for being bulletproof. I just can't play wannabe club racer on this bike with these tires.

Whew, that sounds like a close call! I'm glad you are ok, as well as your bicycle.
Maybe get some 28s for that thing, I put 28s on my bike (it came with 25s) and there's no turning back for me, my traction is much better and if anything I feel faster because I don't have to slow down or ride around rough stuff. I'm amazed how many people ride 23s ...

Brewers Beat D'backs
End First Half On High Note
Wily Peralta pitched seven effective innings, Logan Schafer homered and drove in two runs and the Milwaukee Brewers ended a four-game losing streak by beating the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-1 on Sunday.
Arizona won the first three games of the series, mostly by coming from behind.
The Brewers prevented the sweep by roughing up Ian Kennedy (3-6) early with a string of two-strike hits and a second straight strong outing by Peralta (7-9)
Carlos Gomez hit a two-run single in the first inning and Jean Segura had three hits for Milwaukee, which ended a six-game losing streak to the Diamondbacks.
Miguel Montero homered for the second straight game, but Kennedy gave up four runs in the first two innings to remain stuck on 49 career wins for the seventh straight start.
Coming off his first complete game shutout, Peralta worked around base runners through the first four innings with the help of two double plays and a pickoff by catcher Martin Maldonado after Adam Eaton strayed too far off first in the third.
The right-hander extended his scoreless streak to 19 1-3 innings until Montero hit his first pitch of the fifth for his eighth homer.
Peralta stranded runners at second and third in the sixth inning and worked around another runner in the seventh. He allowed a run on seven hits and struck out eight.
Kennedy has struggled with his put-away pitches, a big reason he's labored through the first half of the season.
The right-hander again had trouble putting hitters away against the Brewers, allowing four straight singles to open the game - all after getting ahead 0-2 or 1-2.
The fourth one was by Gomez, who lined an 0-2 pitch through the right side for a two-run single and another run came in on a groundout by Maldonado.
Schafer drove in a run with a sacrifice bunt in the second inning and, after falling behind 0-2, led off the fifth inning with a homer that put the Brewers up 5-0.
Kennedy allowed five runs on nine hits in 6 1-3 innings, the second straight start he's allowed five earned runs. He hasn't won since June 1 against the Cubs.
NOTES: Arizona 2B Aaron Hill ended a 0-for-16 streak with a single in the fourth inning. ... The Brewers have more than 70 stolen bases (77) before the All-Star break for the first time since swiping 87 bases in 1993. ... Diamondbacks 3B Martin Prado made a pair of diving stops - one in each direction - to take away hits from Maldonado in the first inning and Jeff Bianchi in the sixth. ... Arizona opens the second half of the season at San Francisco on Friday. Milwaukee faces Miami at home the same day.

Goodman did make contact but Branch pushed just enough to gain separation for the TD.
I didn't think this would be a good game. NE is scary good. They are very much like the Packers in that it's very difficult to know who is going to be getting the ball on each play (accept near the endzone when there is a 100% chance Gronkowski will get it). Very good team – if they meet Balt next week, it should be a tremendous game.

The Red Bull Racing team had some fun with F1 emperor Bernie Ecclestone on his 80th birthday, giving him a walker tricked out with everything he'd need, including buttons for "nurse," "power," "money" and "tea."
You see, it's funny because they all hate him and he's so rich and powerful it's still endearing. (Hat tip to Nate!)

Chris Rock is maybe the best stand-up comedian of his generation, but his film career has been less than stellar. Maybe Melissa McCarthy is just the shot in the arm the man needs.
"I'm trying to romance her," Rock told the LA Times last month while at Sudance. He wants the "Bridesmaids" star to play opposite him as the other half of a hyper dysfunctional "Jerry Springer couple," in a new film he's currently writing.
In addition to her Emmy winning role on "Mike & Molly," McCarthy has two more sitcoms in development, and at least two other films in the works, so Rock's gonna have to hit his spot timing-wise. But if he does, these two could do some serious damage as a Springer-esque duo.
U.S. & World
Rock was in Sudance supporting his new film "2 Days in New York," writer-director-co-star Julie Delpy's sequel to her indie hit "2 Days in Paris." This new film finds the pair playing an otherwise happy couple who find their home occupied for the weekend by uninvited family members.

Adams' homer lifts Cardinals over Brewers
Brewers waste another strong effort by a starting pitcher
Matt Adams had a two-run home run and the Cardinals broke open a tight game with four in the eighth to beat the Milwaukee Brewers 5-1 on Wednesday night.
The Cardinals won their fifth consecutive game to maintain a one-game lead over Pittsburgh and a three-game advantage on Cincinnati in the NL Central. The Pirates finished a three-game sweep at Texas and the Reds knocked off the Chicago Cubs earlier in the day.
Milwaukee has lost three of five.
Brandon Kintzler (3-2) gave up three runs on two hits and a walk while only getting two outs. He surrendered a game-tying hit in the seventh before loading the bases with one out in the eighth.
Carlos Beltran's sacrifice fly off Michael Gonzalez scored Matt Carpenter to give the Cardinals a 2-1 lead. An error by catcher Jonathan Lucroy allowed Jon Jay to score and Adams followed with his 12th homer of the season.
Trevor Rosenthal (2-3) had a hitless eighth inning for the win.
The Cardinals broke through on an RBI hit from David Descalso. Matt Holliday led off with a single, the second hit against starter Marco Estrada, and moved to second on a two-out walk to David Freese.
Descalso sent Kintzler's second pitch down the left field line to score Holliday and tie the game at 1-1.
Estrada took a no-hitter into the sixth, losing it with two outs. Carpenter, who struck out in his first two at-bats, hit a liner that bounced just in front of the pitcher, nicked his leg and bounded to third baseman Aramis Ramirez. His throw pulled Juan Francisco off first base in what otherwise would have been a close play.
Estrada gave up two hits in 6?, struck out six and walked two. He's made six starts since returning in early August from the disabled list with a strained hamstring and has gone 2-0 with a 2.39 ERA in that span.
Cardinals starter Lance Lynn had one of his best outings in more than a month. He went six innings and struck out 10, the third time this season he's reached double digits and the sixth time in 61 starts. He also walked two, including Scooter Gennett in the second that led to the Brewers' run.
Carlos Gomez singled with one out and moved to second on Gennett's walk. On a successful double steal, Gomez came home when Tony Cruz's attempt to get Gennett bounced into centerfield.
Lynn lost his previous five starts leading into Wednesday's game as his ERA rose to 4.37 from 3.78. He last win came Aug. 4, when he gave up two runs in eight innings in a 15-2 victory at Cincinnati.
NOTES: St. Louis C Yadier Molina missed the game for "family matters," according to manager Mike Matheny. The Cardinals did not elaborate on the reason or say when the All-Star catcher would return to the team. ... St. Louis distributed 7,906 complimentary tickets to first responders and military personnel in honor of Sept. 11. ... Tyler Thornburg (1-1, 2.08) is scheduled to start for Milwaukee in the finale of the three-game set Thursday and will face Joe Kelly (8-3, 2.74). Kelly has won his past five starts. ... Hockey great Wayne Gretzky watched the game from the front row.

Tonight we introduce to you the miracle that is eden. Eden. provides gentle, natural and pure body products for men and women with plenty of unscented options for those who don't want any fragrance, but would like soft, supple skin in the dead of winter. Having used the lotions and lip balms myself, I have to say they definitely don't leave a residue. Here are a few products from eden. that would make great stocking stuffers or you could throw a few in a gift bag for a real treat!
The lip balm is delicious – we have ours in rosemary mint and it's damned near impossible to keep from eating it right off the stick. Ok, actually it's not impossible, but the flavor's good enough that I'd totally let people think that's what I do in the privacy of my own home.
Do you know what the grossest smell in the world is? It's the smell of Barbasol, or anything remotely like it. It's a step down from "axe" in my book. So! Make sure to throw one of these in your favorite arm candy's stocking (be they a he or a she) to make sure your face smells like a face and your legs smell like legs!
Cedarwood Sage lotion is the 'table lotion' we have on our shared workspace at work. It's hard to keep it in stock, sometimes people put it on their hands when they're not even dry, just to get the smell on them. Light, airy, but still seasonal, woodsy and rustic this is definitely a favorite.
Come visit Elise from eden. and all the rest of us at The Big Chill Holiday arts, crafts and vintage sale at 10 Mayo Street in Portland! Saturday, December 3rd from 10am-4pm. Yes!
