Why do people get married?
The reason could be…. a public demonstration of their commitment one to another in front of family and friends, or the desire for their union to be not only legally recognised, but also by their own personal faith or religion. It can also represent the perfect opportunity for a girl to live out her childhood fantasy of being a true-life princess for a day, and wedded to her very own prince. On the other-hand it could just be "any excuse for a party"!!!
Whatever the reason, congratulations are in order!

What's in a Gluten-Free Shopper's Grocery Bag?
Thanks for your feedback. I will be out of the office from Tuesday, April 28 until Monday, May 4. If you need some blog stimulation in the meantime, please read what Lia, a gluten-free foodyi, has to eat in her grocery bag. I will respond to your interest when I return.
This trip [to Whole Foods] was very motivated by cravings. I am also proud of myself for keeping my bill under $30, almost unknown at a whole paycheck/whole foods. And that $30 will provide me with 2 meals with about 2-3 servings each, which means about 5 meals total. I can't stand wasting a shred of food, so I stretch out every bit until it's gone, and (mostly, somewhat) fresh.
Clockwise from the quinoa pasta:
Quinoa Pasta: I had this at my friend tif's house a few nights ago and it blew my mind with how wheat-like it was (i am gluten-free). And it's also super cheap! It's light and stringy, just like i like my linguine. I guess its pretty hard to fuck up linguine. I want to make it with a pesto-walnut sauce, but not this time around. These will go with kale, garlic, onion, and…
2 Yellow Tomatoes! …for the pasta dish. I couldn't resist. Theyre just so pretty! I love tomatoes in everything so i had to buy them for this dish. normally I wouldn't include them with the kale, but just a little for color will be nice.
1 Hothouse Cucumber: for my sandwich tonight/next three days. It was fresh, firm, like a cucumber should be. This was a craving of mine today– it was included in my simple yet satisfying sandwich that i made, which I will elaborate more on in a bit.
Firm tofu: tofu is great. Tofu is a staple of mine, because it can do it all. Sometimes it can vaguely (with a lot of imagination) taste cheese like (okay, this is a stretch maybe), and it's just SO good on a sandwich. plus, unlike extra firm, it's light in the tummy. Extra firm is too heavy for me. This is perfect. Great for steaming and crumbling and puree-ing.
Unsweetened Soymilk: For my cereal. boring. staple.
Texas Yellow Onion: Another staple. gotta always have onion and garlic in the house. This is for the kale pasta dish.
Pitted Kalamata and Green Olives with Peppers from the Olive Bar: these were central to my craving today. I love these pitted marinated olives, the kalamata ones (or i think they might be of the provencal variety), which are nice and salty and taste oh so good with a bit of roasted cashews as a snack. I like olives because theyre hearty too. only need a little bit. this was a more splurge-y item, a novelty item, but at $3.90 for the satisfaction that will keep on coming for at least 3 more times, I was fine with it.
Kale: KALE! my favorite veg. Well, tomatoes are my favorite, but these maybe are in the top 5. kale is so so good for you– beta carotene, vitamin C, cancer fighting!! This veggie does it all! eat eat eat eat
Garlic: I hate how Whole Foods sells garlic by the bitsy this way, but a head from Ralphs will usually sprout before i can finish it. It was either this or the elephant garlic which was truly elephantine. Like the size of the onion, almost.
Gluten-Free Loaf: yummmmmmmmmmmmmmm gluten free bread! What I miss most about not eating gluten is fresh bread. I love bread. Whole Foods has a gluten free bakery (but not at every Whole Foods i dont think) and charge an arm and a leg for it, but what the hell, it's such a rarity. Once in a while I gotta let myself live. This is made with tapioca flour, chickpea flour, brown rice flour and some walnuts in it. It was so good with my sandwich tonight: sliced tofu, avo, cucumber, tomato, marinated olives, and a little olive oil/balsamic/S+P. I like to keep it simple.
Dates (not pictured): Nature's candy. I ate them for dessert with some cashews.
I'd say all in all it was a pretty satisfying trip. Whole Foods takes a lot of will and determination to navigate through on a dime, but if you're willing to not read every anecdote next to peruvian mountain goat cheese for $18.99/lb. I think you'll make out alright.

Few home improvement projects are more important than hurricane protection. Yet choosing the right system -- shutters, panels or other products that are supposed to keep people and property safe -- can be immensely challenging.
As the Herald-Tribune's Kate Spinner reported Sunday, consumers can be easily confused -- if not outright misled -- about storm products' ability to withstand powerful hurricanes.
Florida has set standards for storm protection products, but some manufacturers don't undergo the specific testing to see if their systems measure up.
Consumers can spend thousands of dollars on materials of unproven value -- a life-and-death gamble when a hurricane is on the way.
Deceptive marketers should be held accountable. But the public also needs stronger consumer protection tools and simpler information to compare shutters, panels, window film and such.
Many factors complicate the hurricane protection picture. For example, even the strongest shutters can fail if the window framing is too weak. Code-approved panels can deteriorate after years in the sun. Window film can reduce flying glass but may otherwise be inadequate.
Consumers need to know this information, in user-friendly terms.
The International Hurricane Protection Association advises consumers to ask these questions before buying storm protection:
"Does the product have an approval number issued by the Florida Building Commission or the Miami-Dade Building Code Compliance Office? ...
"Does your insurance carrier accept the product as hurricane protection?"
State officials also advise the following, posted at the My Safe Florida Home Web site (www.mysafefloridahome.com):
"Get at least three estimates from different contractors for the same job.
"Make sure that the contractor you choose is licensed by the state of Florida or your county government. To verify if a contractor is licensed, visit https://www.myfloridalicense.com/licensing/wl11.jsp?SID or call 850-487-1395.
"Ask your contractor for references, and follow up with those references.
"Read your contract very carefully, including warranty information on any products used to strengthen your home.
"Make sure that the products used meet code requirements in your area and all appropriate building permits have been pulled."
Another informative pamphlet -- a "shutter selection matrix" from the Institute for Business & Home Safety -- lists the costs, pros and cons of various storm protection systems. On the Web, it is available at http://www.ibhs.org/publications/downloads/20070425_093852_26797.pdf.
Many Florida homes should have stronger storm defenses; the 2004-05 hurricane seasons made this painfully clear. But residents need real protection, not the empty promise of untested products.
Storm, and consumer, protection
Few home improvement projects are more important than hurricane protection. Yet choosing the right system -- shutters, panels or other products that are supposed to keep people and property safe -- can be immensely challenging.

The Chopping Block went back and took a closer look at FSU's spring game. Here are some things that stood out on video when re-watching the contest.
The quarterbacks
We have dissected the quarterback play at length the last couple days, so we won't rehash the breakdowns.
Instead, we'll take a look at a couple noteworthy aspects and highlights from the game.
First, let's look at the likely starter.
Sean Maguire
--It was a disastrous start for Maguire, who forced a ball into pressure for a pick six on his second attempt of the game. Ja'Vonn Harrison didn't help him out by running the wrong pattern, but this was one of a couple instances where Maguire would've been better served throwing the ball away.
--There was a lot to like about Maguire's performance, however. He rebounded well and was stellar in the second quarter. Most notably, he did a really nice job stepping up in the pocket and making big-time throws under pressure.
--Here's another nice throw in the second quarter. Again, we're seeing the requisite arm strength to play at a high level, consistency is the main concern.
--Then we get to the second half, and Maguire regresses. He seemed disinterested at times and struggled to make crisp throws even though his reads were usually correct.
--Here's another example of the ball simply not getting to his intended target in the second half. The entire starting offense appeared lethargic and just went through the motions.
--When Maguire was on, however, he was great. Back to his top drive in the second quarter: A nice side-arm pass to Harrison, followed by an absolutely perfect deep ball, again to Harrison.
Overall it was an average-at-best performance for Maguire and the starting offense, but there were enough bright moments in there to build off of.
J.J. Cosentino
It's difficult to judge Cosentino's performance. He was a beneficiary of his talented but raw receivers simply being more athletic than a second-team secondary that was primarily comprised of walk-ons. So while he was responsible for some big plays, he wasn't always as precise as you would like.
--One thing Cosentino very well was hit his intermediate throws. He consistently found the open receiver and then put the ball in the right spot; these weren't necessarily difficult throws, but that's partially because Cosentino made them look easy. Here's an example of a decisive throw that went for 10 yards in the third quarter.
--The deep ball, however, was off. Cosentino's calling card is supposed to be his arm strength; he clearly has the arm talent and velocity, but his accuracy on deep throws was lacking Saturday. There was one pass in particular, a long completion in the fourth quarter, that could've been a touchdown. Instead, FSU settled for a 37-yard pass because the ball hung in the air and forced a wide-open Ermon Lane to slow down.
De'Andre Johnson
Of all the quarterbacks that played Saturday, none are receiving more buzz than Johnson. The true freshman did a lot well in the spring game, although he showed his inexperience as well.
--Johnson got his first snaps late in the second quarter and tried to take full advantage. He came out firing, taking two deep shots down field immediately. His first pass, to Lane against scholarship cornerback Malique Jackson, resulted in a pass interference call. He set the tone with this throw, though, and showed that he could air the ball out despite his diminutive stature (6-2, 177).
--Later, we see how Johnson manages a two-minute drill to end the first half. There was some good: first a pass over the middle of the field for a first down and then a scramble for eight yards. But there was bad, too: He took a sack instead of throwing the ball away, a costly mistake in a two-minute drill. He recovered to deliver a beautiful pass to Lane for a 42-yard score; it was an easy throw to make since Lane was open downfield, but Johnson put the ball exactly where he needed to.
--Johnson's performance, like Cosentino's, is undermined some by the fact his level of competition wasn't close to what Maguire faced. That being said, there are some minuscule moments worth looking at when analyzing Johnson's performance. For instance, how does he do under duress? It's hard to fully interpret this because tacklers had to lay off the QBs, but we see him get sacked in our first example: Pressure comes from his blind side, Johnson stands and delivers, but is late and takes the sack. Two plays later, facing fourth and nine, Johnson again faces pressure from a blitz. For a second time in a row, he stands tall and doesn't flinch as he completes his pass downfield to Mavin Saunders, who used his size to go up and bring the ball down for a first down. The difference, this time, is that Johnson got the ball out quick enough, showing good instincts and the ability to learn on the fly. Sure, he was helped out by his athletic tight end making a play over a walk-on, but he got the ball in a good play on a desperation pass on fourth down and gave his guy a chance. That is pretty advanced for a first-year player.
Running game
We won't spend as much time on this, but there are a few things worth focusing on.
First is the dedication to a power-running attack. That could be FSU's calling card this year and the Seminoles emphasized that aspect of the offense on Saturday. The first-team offense ran for 103 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries, with some of that production hampered early on because Dalvin Cook's runs were stopped short while he was wearing a no-contact jersey. The running game picked up after he was allowed to go full contact,
--On Cook's second touchdown of the afternoon, we saw the ceiling of what FSU's offense can be. Cook was powerful and quick, but the blocking up front was excellent. RT Brock Ruble sealed off the defender and TE Ryan Izzo sealed the edge as LG Kareem Are pulled around Ruble to pave a path for Cook. It was a textbook power run.
--We've seen Fisher go with plenty of two-back sets in the past, but he could lean heavily on this formation in 2015 because of 1. The depth at running back and 2. The shakiness of the passing attack. Here, Cook and Mario Pender line up in the backfield twice in a row, and run with success on both occasions. Because both backs are explosive, defenses cannot cheat one way or the other.
--The addition of freshman Jacques Patrick adds another dimension to the run game. His power is well documented and his speed surprised some on Saturday, but his ability to quickly cut and maneuver in traffic was arguably the most impressive aspect of a performance in which he rushed for 81 yards on 16 carries.
Defensive ends
Finally, we'll cap off with a couple clips from defensive ends. The Seminoles struggled to consistently generate pressure on the quarterback last season, something the team worked diligently on improving this spring.
A lot of that improvement boils down to how the defensive ends do. On Saturday, a couple players stood out.
--First we'll start with Rick Leonard, who was named as the co-defensive MVP for the spring. His job will not be to regurally get to the quarterback, but instead disrupt the timing of throws with his length and size (6-7, 273). Stats will show that he didn't get to the quarterback once, but he directly impacted a couple of Maguire's throws.
--Finally, we'll look at Lorenzo Featherston. We already know he has the athleticism to get to the quarterback, so the evolution in his game must come against the run. In order for FSU to use Featherston as much as it would like, he must demonstrate better awareness than he did last year when guarding outside runs. Featherston sniffed out one zone read early in the game and then did an excellent job taking on a blocker and then crashing down the line of scrimmage on this particular play. He made his presence felt all game and dominated the second-team offense to finish with six tackles, two sacks and three tackles for loss.

In his first new show in two years, the master of surreal comedy joins forces with a Camembert piglet join forces to tackle the big issues, such as terrorism, immigration and Ant 'n Dec.
Fans of comedy will need no introduction to Paul Foot - a man often described as a sublime and original comedy genius. In between regular outings at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and collaborations with other big-hitters, such as Noel Fielding and Russell Brand, Paul has found time to get back on tour with the show that offended a thousand piglets. Ahead of his date at the Colchester Arts Centre next Thursday, September 21st, Colchester Life pinned him down on a few burning issues:
How did you settle on the name 'Tis A Pity She's A Piglet' for this tour?
I saw a piglet, and I thought it was a pity she were a piglet and not a person. People have slightly better lives than piglets do. All that mud. I can't bear to think of it.
Have recent issues helped to inspire it?
Not the title, but yes, parts of the show itself are inspired by certain recent events. There's flavours of all your favourite tropical issues such as terrorism and astronomy and Spiderman. It's all in there.
What can audiences expect from it?
I don't know. I don't even know what to expect from it. It's half surreal, half silly, and half hard-hitting satire...and one third trout.
How would you describe your sense of humour?
I mainly laugh at wedding cakes falling over, or newsreaders messing up. I love it when weddings go wrong though. That's the funniest thing in the whole universe.
You have an extraordinary ability to create hugely funny sets based on topics many may
never consider an area for comedy. How do you come up with these ideas?
What? People don't think the dwindling numbers of Shire horses is an area for comedy? I thought everyone laughed at stuff like that. I guess the ideas just come from seeing a Shire Horse, or ordering a Chinese takeaway, or taking a walk by a pond. All sorts of ways.
To what extent do you improvise in your performances?
It depends which performances. My tour shows are very carefully planned and executed, even if they don't look that way. But when I do my Secret Shows for my Connoisseurs, I sometimes improvise the whole show, for 2.4 hours.
You previously worked on a skit about film ideas. Do you have any plans to write a script for
film or TV?
No. I love stand-up comedy. It is my job, and my hobby, and it's my only focus. All my creative energy goes on writing my stand-up shows. That's what I really love doing.
How do you try out your new material?
I often try out my new material at my Secret Shows first. So the top Connoisseurs of my comedy see it first. And then I try out the comedy at various shows I do around the country. I eventually premier the new completed show at the Edinburgh Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland, Sturgeon.
What do you wish you knew when you started out in comedy?
I wish I'd known that, one day, I would be successful. Nowadays, weird and surreal comedy is quite popular, but when I started out I was one of the only weird ones, and no-one wanted the weird comedy. I was spectacularly unsuccessful for about 14.3 years, earning no money and getting booed off stages. And it was very difficult, but I stuck to my instincts, and one day, after 14.3 years I became an overnight success. It would have been nice to know in those long years that it would all be OK one day.
Do you notice any differences in audiences around the country?
Not really. I find that, wherever I do a show, the people that come to see me are very plugged in and sophisticated. They know what to expect and they come to see the surreal humour. The shows are always wonderful and filled with top quality people.
Don't miss the chance to see this surreal and hilarious comic at the ever-reliable Arts Centre. Tickets are still (just!) available here.

Andy's Letter: Happy Birthday to Me!
Happy Birthday to Me! If you know me well enough to know the date on which I was born in 1962, you might be scratching your head right now. No, not the date my Mother gave birth to me. The birthday I am referring to is Jan. 10, 2001. That is the day my "counts" started to increase during my fight with cancer. I will spare you all the details, but up until then I had been on the losing ends of round after round of treatments. That day the auto stem cell transplant was the treatment that finally worked. The nurses refer to that day, Jan. 10, 2001, as my new birthday because that was the day I stopped dying and started my new life.

Born in June 1980 of black and Caucasian parents, Jerimiah is a loving and personable young man.
Riding his bike and playing basketball are his favorite outdoor activities. Going to church and being involved in church programs has been important to him.He likes music and drawing, and his teacher has noticed that Jerimiah's clay pots show a particularly good sense of symmetry and balance. When the teacher noticed Jerimiah doing a rather difficult adult wooden puzzle, he suggested further tests to determine Jeremiah's true abilities. The test scores indicated that he has above-average intelligence and he can perform quite well when his attention is focused appropriately.
But a past of abuse, neglect and abandonment by his mother has left Jerimiah with some significant emotional problems and some very difficult behaviors. He is very emotional and generally feels that he isn't liked by others. Sexually inappropriate behavior, fighting and vulgar language make him difficult to be with sometimes.

Leave Financial Assets in Canada? The U.S. Wants to Know About Them
Many Canadian expatriates are familiar with United States income taxation of residents on their worldwide income. One can become a U.S. resident for this purpose one of two ways: under the "green card test" pursuant to which one becomes a U.S. tax resident upon becoming a lawful permanent resident of the U.S. (i.e., obtaining a green card), or under the "substantial presence test" pursuant to which one becomes a U.S. tax resident through physical presence in the U.S. for a number of days during the year and the prior 2 years which when adding the days spent in the U.S. in the current year, 1/3 of the days spent in the immediately preceding year and 1/6 of the number of days spent in the second preceding year, equals or exceeds 183. A "closer connection" test may prevent U.S. residence under the substantial presence test for expatriates in the U.S. fewer than 183 days during the year. In addition, the U.S.-Canada Income Tax Treaty provides a "tie-breaker rule" for dual U.S. -- Canadian residents. Once you are treated as a U.S. tax resident, you become subject to U.S. income tax on your worldwide income. What you might not be as familiar with are duplicative filing requirements that you become subject to in order to report certain foreign financial assets once you become a U.S tax resident. First, a United States person, which includes a U.S. resident for income tax purposes, that has a financial interest in or signature authority over foreign financial accounts with an aggregate value exceeding $10,000 during the calendar year, must file Form TD F 90-22.1, Report Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (commonly known as the "FBAR," short for Foreign Bank Account Report). For this purpose, a "financial account" includes a bank account, securities or brokerage account. It also includes commodities futures or options account, an insurance policy or annuity with a cash value and shares in a mutual fund or similar pooled fund. A "foreign financial account" is a financial account located outside the U.S. It includes an account with a branch of a U.S. bank located outside the U.S. You would have a financial interest in an account if you are the owner of record or holder of legal title over the account or an agent acting on your behalf is the owner of record or holder of legal title over the account. You can have a financial interest if in an account if you own more than 50% of a corporation, partnership or other entity that is the owner of record or holder of legal title over the account. You also can have a financial interest by virtue of being treated as the owner of a trust or by having a greater than 50% beneficial interest in a trust that is the owner of record or holder of legal title over the account. You generally would have signature authority if you have authority to control the disposition of assets held in the account by direct communication (whether in writing or otherwise) with the financial institution that maintains the account. You should note that you could potentially have signature authority over an account by being an officer or employee of an entity that owns the account. If you are required to file the FBAR, it must be received by the IRS on or before June 30 of the year following the calendar year being reported. The penalties for failing to file the FBAR are severe. Absent reasonable cause, a civil penalty of up to $10,000 may apply for failure to properly file this form. The penalty increases to the greater of $100,000 or 50% of the balance in the account at the time of the violation in case of a willful failure. Under a recently announced voluntary disclosure initiative, taxpayers with undisclosed foreign accounts, income or assets can come forward voluntarily and be subject to reduced penalties and avoid criminal prosecution.
Second, beginning this year (generally for the 2011 calendar year), a specified individual (including a U.S. citizens or U.S. tax resident) who holds an interest in "specified foreign financial assets" having an aggregate value in excess of $50,000 on the last day of the year or $75,000 at any time during the year (or $100,000 and $150,000, respectively for married taxpayers filing jointly) must report such assets to the IRS on Form 8938, Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets to be attached to the individual's U.S. income tax return. The definition of "specified foreign financial asset" is broader than the definition of "foreign financial account" under the FBAR rules. A "specified financial asset" includes a depository or custodial account maintained by a foreign financial institution. It also includes the following assets held for investment and not in a financial account: stock issued by a foreign corporation; interests in foreign partnerships; notes, bonds, or other indebtedness issued by a foreign person; interests in a foreign trust or estate, swaps, options, derivatives, etc., with a foreign counterparty. Further, a "specified financial asset" includes an interest in a foreign pension or deferred compensation plan but does not include an interest in social security, social insurance, or similar program sponsored by a foreign government. Significant penalties apply for failure to file. The initial penalty for failure to file is $10,000. If the failure continues for more than 90 days after the IRS mails notice of the individual's failure to file, an additional penalty of $10,000 for each 30-day period (or fraction thereof) following the expiration of the 90-day period (up to a maximum of $50,000). There is again a reasonable cause exception.
Beginning in 2014 (for calendar
year 2013), foreign financial institutions will be required to report to the IRS
information regarding their U.S. account holders or face 30% withholding on
certain U.S. source income. Guidance regarding these new requirements is still
being developed. You may receive a request from non-U.S. banks or financial
institutions for further documentation if your accounts have certain US.
indicia. Some countries will enter into agreements with the U.S. to collect this
information from their financial institutions and report to the IRS. This
reporting does not relieve you of the requirements of filing FBARs and/or
8938 should they apply.
Expatriates with assets in Canada or elsewhere need to be cognizant of their U.S. reporting requirements or work with tax professionals who are. If U.S. reporting requirements applied in the past and you failed to comply, you should contact your U.S. tax advisor to determine the best course of action.
Circular 230 Notice: In order for us to comply with certain U.S. Treasury regulations, unless expressly stated otherwise, any U.S. federal tax advice that may be contained in this written or electronic communication, including any attachments, is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, by any person for the purpose of (i) avoiding any tax penalties that may be imposed by the Internal Revenue Service or any other U.S. federal taxing authority or agency or (ii) promoting, marketing or recommending to another party any transaction or matter addressed herein.

Speaker 3: Jud Wilhite
I had heard of Jud Wilhite only briefly and in passing so I was interested and curious to hear him speak. He is the Senior Pastor of Central Christian Church in the Las Vegas area which is definitely an interesting place to be! Jud encounters extremely broken and desperate people everyday and to hear him talk about them and about his passion for them was fascinating.
"Put your hand to the plough and don't look back."
"Reach out to the broken and you will always have an audience."
"Two questions: Who's hurting that we can help? Who needs to be reached but isn't?"
"The 'up and in' are just as broken as the 'down and out'."
On issues that come up: "Major on the majors and minor on the minors."
"See restrictions as an opportunity – fight the martyr mentality. Stop focussing on what you don't have and focus on what you do have (the gospel)."
Acts 3v6: But Peter said, "I don't have any silver or gold for you. But I'll give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, get up and walk!"

Hospital Beds
As the name suggests, hospital beds are specialty beds used in hospitals and other long-term care facilities. They are designed to provide optimal body alignment and health benefits to patients. Hospital beds must also provide the medical staff with full access to patients. For this reason, hospital beds are adjustable (just like commercial adjustable beds) and use an electric motor to change the bed's positions. Hospital beds can also include heat and massage features, which can provide additional therapeutic benefits to patients. However, unlike their retail counterparts, hospital beds generally have a limited number of positions, based on eating, working, watching television, reading, relaxing and sleeping.
Hospital beds are designed to enhance the abilities of individuals who are confined to beds for either a short period of time or a prolonged period of time, depending on the situation. As noted above, this type of bed is very effective in making it easier for ill or injured individuals to move, sleep and eat. This type of bed also helps doctors and nurses perform their duties for individuals who find it physically impossible to sit up.
Hospital beds are used at home in cases of long-term home care or home rehabilitation. Most people will opt to rent the bed, if possible, because hospital beds are very expensive to buy. A twin size hospital bed starts at over $1000. Even renting a hospital bed can become very expensive because of the technology and the effectiveness of this type of bed. It's best to research all your options before you decide on renting or buying a hospital bed.
Perhaps in the future the cost of hospital beds may lower, but for now, they are basically too expensive for the average individual (or family) to own. If you think you need a hospital bed, do some research and you may find a bed for a lower price or a discounted bed that suits your needs. Otherwise, your best option is look at some adjustable beds, which offer some of the same features. This type will likely accommodate your needs and more importantly suit your budget.

Visualization Technique
I remembered how my first year battling this disease that I always relied on meditation and visualization to keep my mind in the right place:) Over the last few months I would do a bit here and there, but I needed to step it up to a daily practice once again. Health is not just eating organic, whole foods, supplementation and planning your day wisely, it's also what we put into our thoughts and soul. This is one of the visualization techniques I am doing at night now, which I wanted to share with those of you out there who may be in this precarious stage, like me. It's the time when the battle gloves need to come off because I am nearing my last chemo treatment this week and I'm tired of the strong fight from the past two years. As a friend who created an awareness group called "Fighting Fabulously" Shauna, I agree and I think I have, but now it's time to relax with the calm knowing that my cells will know what to do to heal and purge the many toxins I have assaulted upon my immune system in order to knock down the beast! Time to breathe and know that my cells will do their job as I rebuild and keep my mind calm. I have a few of these I have written myself and recorded in the studio along with some of my music on www.ReverbNation.com under "Rachel Petz Dowd" if my readers want to take a listen to my own stuff . But this other one I found a short meditation/visualization on YouTube and seems perfect for those moving out of battle mode into the resting/building stage. It can be helpful for any disease or condition I think.... I hope you enjoy and benefit as well!
Feeling The Side Effects:(
Sorry I've been out of touch the past few weeks. I guess it is almost 2 years since I started fighting this damn C thing, and finally the side effects of chemo have reached me and affected my body. All the prevention, dietary support and supplements to alleviate symptoms worked for the most part...until now. After my 3rd treatment I was able to avoid taking the additional anti-nausea scripts thanks to acupuncture patches, but after 2 days my feet began to go numb and I also have nerve tingling up my left leg as well. In addition, I went to a lymphatic specialist who told my my left arm has some swelling as well as my lymph nodes in my neck and left leg because of the "war zone" going on in my body at the moment. This time coming out of radiation and complete depletion was not a good way to begin the last phase of chemo in year two, but I am almost finished.

Not Erdoğan (2)
2 Comments · Posted by Andrew Stuttaford in history, politics
With Islamist Turkish president Erdoğan continuing to take advantage of the failed coup that he has described as a "gift from God", here's another quote from an infinitely greater Turk, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk:
Religion is an important institution. A nation without religion cannot survive. Yet it is also very important to note that religion is a link between Allah and the individual believer. The brokerage of the pious cannot be permitted. Those who use religion for their own benefit are detestable. We are against such a situation and will not allow it. Those who use religion in such a manner have fooled our people; it is against just such people that we have fought and will continue to fight…

Given the news from Turkey, a quote or two from Mustafa Kemal Atatürk seemed appropriate:
I have no religion, and at times I wish all religions at the bottom of the sea. He is a weak ruler who needs religion to uphold his government; it is as if he would catch his people in a trap. My people are going to learn the principles of democracy, the dictates of truth and the teachings of science. Superstition must go….
We do not consider our principles as dogmas contained in books that are said to come from heaven. We derive our inspiration, not from heaven, or from an unseen world, but directly from life.
As We Await the End Times

The art of writing a first paragraph is said to lie in the ability to draw the reader in.
I would say that Lily Lynch's remarkable new piece in The Balkanist passes that test very well indeed:
Harun Yahya is said to be the messianic leader of an apocalyptic Islamic sex cult. He's also the owner of a Turkish television station called A9, and the host of his own religious talk show, which just might make your eyeballs pop out of your skull. The entire set and everyone on it glow like irradiated ultraviolet rays. Five amazing looking women usually co-host the show, wearing things like false rainbow eyelashes, wigs, and diamond-studded Versace bondage gear. The backdrop is a blinding fake lavender cityscape. Conversations often focus on how materialism and Darwinism are dead, how to recognize the face of a real Muslim, and how Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan — with whom the host is rumored to enjoy friendly relations — is "one of the important figures for the End Times".
This is a story with everything: murky political connections, the Huffington Post, creationism, "a pair of hunky twins named Onder and Ender", a harem, Madonna, aliens (maybe), conspiracy theories, abandoned conspiracy theories, litigation and a zoo.
Wait, there's more…
But you will have to read it for yourselves.

The Guardian:
One of Saudi Arabia's leading conservative clerics has said women who drive risk damaging their ovaries and bearing children with clinical problems, countering activists who are trying to end the Islamic kingdom's male-only driving rules.
A campaign calling for women to defy the ban in a protest drive on 26 October has spread rapidly online over the past week and gained support from prominent women activists. On Sunday, the campaign's website was blocked inside the kingdom.
As one of the 21 members of the senior council of scholars, Sheikh Saleh al-Lohaidan can write fatwas, or religious edicts, advise the government and has a large following among other influential conservatives.
His comments have in the past played into debates in Saudi society and he has been a vocal opponent of tentative reforms to increase freedoms for women by King Abdullah, who sacked him as head of a top judiciary council in 2009.
In an interview published on Friday on the website sabq.org, he said women aiming to overturn the ban on driving should put "reason ahead of their hearts, emotions and passions".
Meanwhile, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Turkey's prime minister and a figure that The Economist persists in describing as "mildly Islamist", reminds an audience that Turkish women are not, in his view, having nearly enough children (the birth rate in Turkey is a little over 2, a tally that has, mercifully, fallen by more than a half since the late 1970s);
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has urged a group of women in Mediterranean Turkish province of Denizli to have at least four children rather than his previously advised three…Erdoğan has noted in the past that Turkey's annual population growth rate should be at least 2.5 percent and if Turkey continued with its existing trend, its population would rapidly become an aging one after the 2030s. Erdoğan has also linked aging populations and low birth rates in European countries to economic recession.
And that last sentence tells you all that you need to know about Erdoğan's grasp of economics. The European recession has many causes, most notably a dysfunctional single currency, but the continent's low birth rate is not one of them.

The Economist reports:
On July 5 the mufti of Trabzon gathered with other citizens for the first Friday prayers of the holy fasting month of Ramadan, not at a mosque but at an ancient Byzantine church. The gathering was a symbolic re-enactment of the conquest in 1462 of this ancient Greek Black Sea port by Mehmet II, the Ottoman sultan who had wrested Constantinople from the Byzantines in 1453. He marked his victory by converting the Haghia Sophia cathedral of today's Istanbul into a mosque.
Haghia Sophia's sister of the same name in Trabzon is less grand. Yet with its dazzling frescoes and magnificent setting overlooking the sea, the 13th-century building is regarded as one of the finest examples of Byzantine architecture. As with other Christian monuments, the Haghia Sophia in Trabzon has become a symbol in the battle between secularists and Islamists. It was converted into a mosque around the 16th century and, after other incarnations, became a museum in 1964. But the Islamists won the last round in 2012 when a local court accepted the claim by the General Directorate of the Pious Foundations, the government body responsible for Turkey's historic mosques, that the Haghia Sophia belonged to the foundation of Mehmet II and was being "illegally occupied" by the culture ministry.
The decision provoked surprising anger in a city notorious for its ultra-nationalist views. "It's about erasing the Christian past, reviving Ottomanism," says a local historian. "There are enough mosques in Trabzon, half of them empty, what was the need?" chimes in Zeki Bakar, a neighbourhood councillor. A lawsuit has been brought to undo the conversion.
Even so, the mildly Islamist Justice and Development (AK) government carried out the conversion in time for Ramadan. A red carpet now obscures exquisite floor mosaics. Shutters and tents beneath the central dome shield Muslim worshippers from "sinful" paintings of the Holy Trinity. Shiny steel taps with plastic stools for ablutions clutter a once-verdant garden filled with ancient sculptures….
Erdogan's "Interest-rate Lobby" and Other Stories
2 Comments · Posted by Andrew Stuttaford in Uncategorized

So what have those scamps from Turkey's "mildly Islamist" AK (the Economist) been talking about lately?
Here (reported in Hurriyet) is President Abdullah Gül, an individual generally seen as more emollient than thuggish Prime Minister Erdogan:
Islam and migrants have been a reality in Europe for centuries. As long as the continent of Europe doesn't approach segments which are different from the majority with tolerance, particularly in regards to religion, an occurrence of new inquisitions and Holocausts, as well as incidents evoking Srebrenica, are probable.
Perfection it's not, but Europe has, of course, handled its growing Muslim minority with a great deal of tolerance. Talk of new Holocausts is ludicrous. What Gül wants is deference, something else altogether.
And then there's this (via Bloomberg):
The head of Turkey's Capital Markets Board confirmed June 26 that his staff had begun an investigation into stock-market volatility during the protests. According to traders in Istanbul, the demands to hand over all e-mail traffic with foreigners, among other records, are unprecedented.
The board's assurances that such investigations are routine might be easier to accept if Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan hadn't promised to "choke" those he believes to have engineered the protests in order to cause a stock-market collapse. He has accused some companies of abetting "terrorism" and claimed that an ill-defined "interest-rate lobby," committed to raising Turkish borrowing costs for profit, is part of the conspiracy.
Ah, "the interest-rate lobby"…
In recent days, Erdogan has threatened retribution against some of the country's biggest banks and industrial conglomerates, leading to a steep fall in their share prices. He repeatedly said that Koc Holding AS, an industrial empire owned by a secularist family against which Erdogan bears deep grudges, "cooperated with terror" and "will have to account for it." The alleged crime was opening the doors of one of the company's hotels to protesters as they fled police.
Ugly though all this is, the fact remains that, despite a dip from previous highs, Erdogan is enjoying approval ratings of over 50 percent and his AK party is still the country's most popular. That's a matter for Turks to decide for themselves, of course, but, if, as Barack Obama, David Cameron and others would like, Turkey is admitted to the EU, the same electorate that so appreciates Erdogan will, thanks to its numbers, have a not insignificant influence on decisions that affect all EU citizens.
That does not strike me as a good idea.

Turkey & the EU

Andrew McCarthy has a piece on possible Turkish membership of the EU up on the home page, very well worth reading in many respects, but not least for this observation:
In Turkey, the administrators of the Kemalist governmental model — comprising Muslims who understood Islam intimately — suppressed Islam not to deny freedom of conscience but to enable it. They were trying to forge exactly the sort of secular civil society Europeans revere. They knew it could not coexist with sharia. Thus, the government assumed supervision of the country's 80,000 mosques, vetted the imams, controlled the content of sermons and literature, and aggressively monitored the Islamic charities. The Muslims running the state realized that Islam would inevitably work against secular civil society if left to its own devices.
If you want to understand why Mubarak's approach in Egypt (political repression combined with the cession of large amounts of religio-social space to the imams) was, in the end, doomed to failure, that's not a bad place to start.
Andy explains how the incentive of eventual EU membership (forever being proffered, just out of reach, to the Turks) is being used to take distort the (admittedly very far from perfect) Kemalist model in ways that could have very dangerous consequences.
But at least we can for be sure (at least for now) that the French and German political elites are enough in tune with their electorates (for now) to stop—as they should— Turkish accession.
With others the case is not so clear.
Here's what Britain's David Cameron had to say two years ago:
ANKARA – Prime Minister David Cameron said Tuesday he was angered by the slow pace of Turkey's European Union accession talks and warned against shutting Ankara out because of anti-Muslim prejudice.
Cameron's strong support for Turkey's limping EU bid puts him in stark contrast to fellow EU heavyweights France and Germany who argue against letting the mainly-Muslim country of over 70 million people to become a full member.
Here's part of what I wrote back at the time:
That Cameron blames the Franco-German stance on "anti-Muslim prejudice" is an argument of the intellectually desperate. Then again, what else does Cameron have? As so often, he has failed to grasp just how deep the EU's federalizing project has already gone. Even if we ignore the phenomenal cost (of which cash-strapped British taxpayers would pay a disproportionate share) of such a scheme, admitting Turkey to the EU would give a country now led by genuinely popular Islamist thug a real say in the everyday lives of the British people. And then there are all those other things that would go with Turkish membership in the EU, such as, oh, the ability of a Turkish court to order the arrest and extradition of a British citizen from the UK to a Turkish jail with little or no judicial review. So much for Cameron, protector of civil liberties.
Oh, there's also this (reported by the BBC in 2009):
Mr Obama also said Washington supported Turkey's efforts to join the EU.
Smart diplomacy!
Erdogan, Again

Turkey's thuggish ("mildly Islamist", if you are The Economist) prime minister Erdogan is doing his bit to restrict free speech. The Seattle Times reports:
Prompted by the anti-Muslim video produced in California that has stirred deadly riots around the world, delegations from major Muslim nations have arrived at the United Nations prepared to demand international curbs on speech or media that they believe defame their religion or the Prophet Muhammad…. The demand for limits on anti-Islamic expression is coming from leading Islamic groups such as the Organization for Islamic Cooperation, and leaders as diverse as Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Recep Erdogan, Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Erdogan, who Obama views as a key ally, has declared that all 57 Islamic nations "should speak forcefully with one voice," and has called for "international legal regulations against attacks on what people deem sacred."
These leaders consider anti-Islamic material a kind of "hate speech" that should be banned around the world. They are expected to demand those regulations when debate begins Tuesday in the General Assembly.
"This has exposed a huge fault line in political philosophies," said Stewart Patrick, of the nonpartisan Council on Foreign Relations. "It may be irreconcilable."
May be irreconcilable. Good grief. Suggesting that it is not — maybe with some "dialog" here, or a bit of "inter-faith" there — will only encourage those who believe that there does indeed exist some middle ground where debate can be politely and oh so sensitively stifled. Just look at the U.K. if you want to see how that works.
To quote yet again what was written in Jyllands-Posten at the time of the Mohammed cartoons:
"Ytringsfrihed er ytringsfrihed er ytringsfrihed. Der er intet men." The translation? "Free speech is free speech is free speech. There is no but."

The Ottoman years

Frustrated With West, Turks Revel in Empire Lost:
Mr. Osman's send-off was just the latest manifestation of what sociologists call "Ottomania," a harking back to an era marked by conquest and cultural splendor during which sultans ruled an empire stretching from the Balkans to the Indian Ocean and claimed the spiritual leadership of the Muslim world.
Ataturk's assertion by fiat that Turks were "European" is bound to fail, because a flower can not blossom without its roots. If the Turks had accepted more aspects of European civilization, such as Christianity, then a civilizational shift might have been viable. But for nearly 1,000 years the Turks were the rulers of Islam. In 1600 all three great Islamic powers, the Ottomans, the Safavids of Persia, and the Mughals of India, were of Turkic provenance. Though Turkish potentates accepted the supremacy of the Arab religion and cultivated Persian poetry, their identity was fused with their role as the ruling race of the Muslim world. The iron hand of Kemalism kept this past from intruding upon the present for nearly a century, but I suspect that that time of ham-handed exclusion of what came before is coming to an end. Of course not all that Ataturk achieved can be reversed, his Romanization of Turkish and purging of Arabic and Persian loanwords, means that Ottoman literature is closed off to all except specialists in modern Turkey. The future will be based more on half-remembered glimpses and recreated myth than the flesh and substance of the past.
The limits of pluralism, and the necessity of an identity

I just finished Vali Nasr's Forces of Fortune: The Rise of the New Muslim Middle Class and What It Will Mean for Our World. Very much in the mold of Fareed Zakaria's The Future of Freedom: Illiberal Democracy at Home and Abroad. Nasr is the author of The Shia Revival: How Conflicts within Islam Will Shape the Future, and the son of the prominent Islamic philosopher Seyyed Hossein Nasr (of the Traditionalist School). The prose is engaging, and Nasr is both erudite and analytically focused. As an ethnic Persian the depth of his knowledge definitely exhibits particular biases, Asian Islam beyond Pakistan hovers on the margins of his narrative, less out of intent and more out of limitations of the author's own knowledge base I suspect. Nevertheless, the focus on Egypt, Turkey, Iran and Pakistan is certainly not hobbling in any way, as these are very important Muslim nations.
Forces of Fortune is very much about the social implications of material conditions. In other words, the relative economic stagnation of the core Muslim world in relation to the developed world or the BRIC nations. Nasr's argument is that in the 20th century Muslim elites saw in the West an object of emulation, and fixated on the exoteric aspects without comprehending the deeper structural preconditions of prosperity. Kemal Ataturk exemplified this, he forced Turks to re-conceptualize themselves as Europeans by battering them, both psychologically and literally. He demanded that Turks look the part of Europeans, that they change their dress and switch to a Roman alphabet from an Arabic script. In addition to the cultural shifts Ataturk also set the tone through an emphasis on top-down institutional development, in particular state control and guidance of the economy. In Nasr's telling Islamic revivalism was a natural and reflexive reaction by the lower middle class and petite bourgeoisie to this assault from on high. They were culturally and economically marginalized by Kemalism, Nasserism and the Shah's White Revolution, and the present is their revenge. Though we are aware of the international scope of Islamic revivalism, the tendrils of Kemalism, and the example of Turkey as an Islamic nation who beat back European colonialism on the fields of battle, also extend across the world. Not only did Ataturk influence Reza Pahlavi, but his model was influential in the thinking of autocrats such as Pervez Musharraf.

To further revive the milk industry and improve the quality of domestic dairy products, the State Council has released a circular to guide the industry's development.
It expects the industry to increase its own production capacity through technological innovation, system reform in management and cost reduction while increasing efficiency. Development of the industry should also be coordinated with ecological development.
By 2020, progress should be made in building a modernized milk industry, with more than 99 percent of the products qualifying and re-use rate of the waste in cattle raising reaching more than 75 percent. The whole milk industry should be revitalized by 2025, with milk source bases, product processing, quality and industry competitiveness reaching the world's top levels.
To improve milk source bases, the government urges efforts to consolidate the current bases in the north, while expanding new areas in the south. It calls for developing standardized cattle breeding methods, improving the quality of milk cows through big data and online evaluation platforms, and producing high-quality fodder for the cows.
According to the circular, the State Council encourages the integration of dairy enterprises, promotion companies and e-commerce retailers, in order to lower costs while enhancing efficiency to increase the competitiveness of dairy enterprises.
Regulations and rules on dairy products will also be improved, with strengthened supervision through the whole production process of dairy products.
More strict measures will be taken to ensure the quality of formula milk powder for infants, and illegal actions such as mixing inedible ingredients and overuse of food additives will be strictly banned.
It clearly forbids importing milk powder in bulk and splitting them before sales, while encouraging companies to set up their own milk bases to improve the quality for infants.
Dairy enterprises should also make efforts to improve their image through activities such as inviting visitors to the farms, publicizing the production process to inspire market consumption.
The government will provide policy support in breeding and product processing, and help strengthen coordination among different regions and departments, according to the release.

Today we (Crystal and me) made it to Strömsholms-slott (castle to you and me) after a morning catching up on work, starting off a curry that would be good and properly yummy for dinner time.
Sweden has a lot of castlesand in the area around Vasteras alone - there are two main ones that I know of - the one in the centre of town (that was closed yesterday) and Stromsholm where we went today. The drive out of Vasteras towards Stronsholm was lovely - bright sunshine, blue skies, light breeze and different shades of green everywhere.
There were quite a few of the original buildings around the castle still around including the original kitchen which is now a cafe that served some very simple meals, cakes, tea and coffee- Fika country. We had time to kill since the English tour (according to the web site) started at 3pm. So we followed tradition and had some cake and coffee (or fruity tea in my case).
The lovely tour guide (it was just me and Crystal in the group) was very informative, enthusiastic and very knowledgable. She was also very very patient since we both asked a lot of questions. Learnt a lot of the kings and queens of Sweden and the lineage (don't ask me to repeat but there's a pretty good update on Wikipedia) but the decor in the rooms were quite spartan but the furniture is still standing even after 300+ years and its some pretty good furniture in very good condition, considering its wood. As my mom (rest her soul) used to say, they made them to last in those days.
Was a very satisfying day. Tomorrow its the big capital. I travel by train (love trains) and am hoping to go on a walking tour around the old town, Vasa museum and if time permits, the farmer's market. So I'm off to do some quick research.

Goffs UK are pleased to announce a second additional date to the 2018 sale calendar, the December Sale at Doncaster, which will be held on Friday 7th December with specific sections for Horses-In-Training and Flat mares and foals.
The one-day sale takes the number of annual Goffs UK Horses-in-Training Sales to eight and also provides an alternative outlet for flat-bred foals to British breeders.
Goffs UK Managing Director Tony Williams commented:
"We place great importance on our Horses-in-Training and Point-to-Point Sales, and the December Sale will provide another viable outlet for trainers following the early season headline NH meetings, such as the Ladbrokes Winter Carnival at Newbury.
"The sale also reacts to feedback from a number of breeders last year requesting that we offer a flat foal session given the increasing size of the foal crop and the pressure for places at the traditional outlets for the category. The date will allow breeders to prep foals for this sale alongside drafts for the major foal sales and offer their horses before Christmas."
This year will also see Goffs UK launch the inaugural Goodwood Sale at Glorious Goodwood on Qatar Sussex Stakes Day, Wednesday 1st August. A boutique sale, the Goodwood Sale will offer high-end Horses-in-Training and Breeding opportunities.
