TAMPA — Everything changed in a matter of seconds on a late spring morning in South Florida's grove lands.
Barbara Shuck was at the wheel of the family's Oldsmobile Cutlass, heading to a nearby plant nursery to buy a few saplings. With her were her husband, Pat, and their 18-month-old son, Ryan, strapped in a car seat in the back.
As she crossed an intersection on the tree-canopied country road outside of Homestead, another car seemed to come out of nowhere, slamming into them on the left side.
Pat Shuck, uninjured, pulled himself from the crumpled vehicle. His wife had a broken neck but was still breathing. His son, turning blue, was not.
Heart racing, he cradled the limp toddler and ran to a nearby house to call for help. As the local fire-rescue unit raced to the scene, Pat gave his son mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Slowly, Ryan's cheeks pinked up.
He was far from out of danger, though.
With traumatic brain and neck injuries, Ryan was given a 50 percent chance to make it through the night. And when he did come out of his coma, he was paralyzed on his left side.
After six weeks in the hospital, Ryan came home. He was too young to comprehend the words delivered by the doctors to his grieving parents: Your son will have a very difficult life, and certainly not a productive one. It's unlikely he will have much brain function or motor skills.
He defied them all for 29 years.
Ryan never considered himself "different."
He wore a leg brace, rode a three-wheeled scooter, fished, bowled and played baseball. He was a fierce competitor, besting two-handed opponents in endless rounds of Nintendo.
When Ryan's younger sister Kellyn started crawling, she followed her brother's example, using just one arm and one leg. That's how she thought everyone did it.
The family — which grew to three girls and a boy — settled in Temple Terrace after Pat retired as a commander from a 24-year career in the Coast Guard and got his dream job teaching and coaching at Tampa Catholic in 1996.
There would be numerous trips to Shriners Hospital and other medical facilities in attempts to help Ryan walk again. Though he would endure more than a dozen surgeries, most related to his back, he never complained.
"It just wasn't his nature," his mother, Barbara, says. After a particularly painful procedure in fourth grade that left him flattened, he even refused to take Tylenol. All he wanted to do was return to school as soon as possible.
Ryan's drive to be like everyone else was stronger than the obstacles he had to overcome. Because of his disability and stunted growth — likely caused by the accident — he only grew to be 5-foot-3, and he had to work three times harder to maintain a semblance of normalcy.
Privately, family members knew nothing was easy for him. The rest of the world saw otherwise.
"He was just one of the Shuck kids," recalls Kellyn, a marketing coordinator who now makes her home in Memphis with her husband and son. "For vacations, we would all pile in the car and travel sea to sea. Whatever adventure we took, Ryan was right there in the thick of it."
A sports fanatic, he was a boisterous supporter of every home team; the Rays, Buccaneers, Lightning and University of Tampa Spartans got his undivided loyalty. When his dad's alma mater, Indiana University, played Maryland in the Final Four in Atlanta, he was right there with Pat, cheering on the Hoosiers. He went to the Indianapolis 500. Crowds weren't easy to navigate in his condition, but they never deterred him.
"I don't think there was anything he wouldn't try," Pat says with a chuckle. "That doesn't mean he was successful at everything. I can tell you that golf definitely didn't work out."
At Tampa Catholic, Ryan would park his scooter near the side entrance and laboriously climb the stairs, step by step, using his good hand and leg to hoist the rest of his weight. With near-perfect attendance and a strong work ethic, he would eventually graduate with honors.
When it was time to get his driver's permit, he and Pat went to a special class for disabled drivers in Orlando. Ryan passed with flying colors. After getting a Ford Explorer outfitted with controls designed for one-handed drivers, he took over carpool duties, driving his sister and friends to school.
It wasn't until Ryan's graduation day in May 2000 that Kellyn began to see her brother in a different light. All those years of him downplaying his accomplishments and striving to be like everyone else melted away when his name was called in the auditorium.
Hundreds stood and gave Ryan a rousing standing ovation.
"I was overwhelmed," she says. "Here I was in the presence of someone so truly spectacular my whole life. How did I miss this? So I started to pay more attention."
In 2012, Kellyn ran her first big race, the Boston Marathon, in honor of her brother. In telling his story, something he only reluctantly agreed to, she raised more than $10,000 for Team Hoyt and the Hoyt Foundation, a nonprofit that builds the character and confidence of disabled young Americans through sports and community activities.
The University of Tampa was the right choice for Ryan. Close to home, but not too close, and just big enough with about 4,500 students at the time. As always, he wanted to be independent and live on campus. His favorite expression —"I can do it myself" — served him well as he established life on his own.
That didn't mean his parents weren't worried.
"You were always afraid of getting the call, such as an accident or something," Pat says. "But we had no choice but to let go. Ryan wouldn't have it any other way."
With his positive vibe and outgoing personality, Ryan made friends easily at UT, where he majored in sports management. Larry Marfise, the school's athletic director, had Ryan in one of his classes and calls him "the most inquisitive young man" he's ever known.
"He always came prepared and with a million questions," Marfise says. "And what a sense of humor! He was a joy to be around."
It only took one time for Marfise to learn that Ryan did not want special treatment. The athletic director ran into him at a Spartan basketball game and offered him help in navigating the bleacher steps.
"He just looked at me straight in the eye and said, 'We all have handicaps. Some are just more visible than others.' Then he proceeded on his own."
When Ryan graduated in 2004, Marfise admits he "teared up a bit" thinking about how UT was losing one of its most passionate supporters. But the university never lost Ryan, who continued to be an involved booster.
"We have students who get their diploma, never to be seen again," Marfise says. "Not Ryan. He never let the challenges of his disability keep him from being engaged at this school. I wish we had a lot more kids like him."
Ryan wanted to work, but his degree, technology skills, sharp wit and engaging personality were not enough to break through unspoken barriers. The first thing they likely saw, his dad says, was the disability, worsening every year with severe scoliosis. It put him at a disadvantage in a competitive job market. It also got in the way of his unfulfilled dream of having a girlfriend, getting married and raising a family.
His parents established a savings account for him early on to make sure their son would have an income. It afforded him some luxuries that he embraced: taking cruises with friends, visits to Las Vegas and New York City, attending professional and college sporting events. As in his high-school days, he had a specially outfitted Ford Explorer to get him places. He added a pillow on the driver's seat to give him some height.
Ryan bought a two-bedroom condo at The Madison at Soho, located right behind MacDinton's, one of his favorite watering holes. He was a fixture in the South Howard neighborhood, negotiating the streets and sidewalks with his three-wheeled Pride scooter. Local wait staff and restaurateurs — Bella's, Bern's Steakhouse, Soho Tavern, The Patio — all knew him by his first name. And wherever he went, he quickly made new friends. They gave him a host of nicknames. The Shuckster. Muttley. Speedy. And his favorite, the Mayor of Soho.
"He had such a big voice for a little guy," says Jeff Single, operating manager of The Patio on south MacDill. "He was so smart and so genuine. But what I'm always going to remember is that cackle when he laughed. And did he know how to laugh."
Though Ryan spent a considerable amount of time atop a bar stool, it wasn't for the drinking. It was for conversation. He would nurse a bottle of Coors Light, only drinking it halfway, "until the Rockies lose their blue."
He had a standing appointment with personal trainer Mike Roshaven at Blast Fitness Performance Center in Tampa for an hour every Tuesday and Thursday, which he kept faithfully for 10 years. The two came up with creative ways to work out, given his physical limitations. Their business relationship quickly became a long-term friendship.
"He was amazing, always looking for ways to challenge himself," Roshaven says. "Ryan never looked for shortcuts."
Of the hundreds of people Roshaven has worked with over the years, he says he will remember Ryan for the "warmest smile and the fewest complaints."
"He showed me that it isn't the body that you come into the gym with that will determine your outcome," Roshaven says. "But it's the heart within that leads you to success."
The close-knit Shuck family uses any excuse to get together for barbecues. On May 12, the celebration du jour was Mother's Day.
Oldest sister Jamie came to her parents' house with her husband and three children, and youngest sibling and bride-to-be Nikki with her fiancé. Missing were Kellyn, back home in Memphis, and Ryan.
Where was Ryan?
Hours passed. They couldn't reach him by text or phone — very unusual. Pat checked Ryan's Facebook page and saw no activity for the past 24 hours, also uncharacteristic of his son. He tried to keep the worry off his face.
"Think I'll head over to his condo and see what's up," Pat offered.
He tried not to think of all the possibilities as he made the 35-minute drive across town.
Ryan's truck was there; so was his scooter. Pat entered the too-quiet condo and called out his son's name. With a sense of dread, he quickened his pace and went straight to Ryan's bedroom, where he found his son's lifeless body. There were no signs of a struggle or an accident; he seemed to be at peace.
Pat wanted to slam his fists into the walls. Instead he collapsed, crying like a baby. His best friend in the world, the boy he carried on his shoulders at the old Sombrero to watch the creamsicle-orange Buccaneers, had died alone at home. This time, he wasn't there to save him.
Ryan was just 31.
It is still raw and painful to think about, much less talk about. Without his steady faith, "there would be no way to handle this," Pat says. When Barbara feels overwhelmed by the incomprehensible loss, she shuts her eyes and thinks of her son running free, in a place where his body is whole again and he no longer has to struggle.
An autopsy found no obvious cause of death, other than reoccurring problems brought about by his childhood head and neck injuries.
Kellyn has her own theory.
"He packed in more living in his short time and worked harder at it than most people do over a full lifetime," she says. "And then his heart just gave out."
No one was ready to say goodbye. Not his neighbor Kevin Logan, retired from the Army, who still looks out in the courtyard, expecting to see his affable buddy pulling up in the scooter, ready to share a funny story or rant about the Rays' lineup.
"He never quit. Just living his life, he taught us all about patience and passion," Logan says. "He taught me about the meaning of what a true friend is. That's what he was to me."
This community of friends has found a way to honor the young man who made such an indelible impression on each and every one of their lives.
Eddie Kabbage, a bartender at MacDinton's, was part of a loosely formed group that got the idea going. After getting Pat and Barbara's blessing, he helped assemble a board that put together the Ryan Shuck Foundation. The nonprofit will sponsor four to six events a year, splitting its fundraising efforts between charities that help the disabled and a scholarship for a disabled student in Ryan's name at University of Tampa.
"If he was around, he would not want all this attention," Kabbage laughs. "But then he would think about it and know that it would help someone, and he'd get over it."
Fellow board member Larry Whitman, agrees.
"There's a good chance he'd be ticked off at us for being so emotional about his passing," he says.
But they're doing it for a reason: Ryan's example is a reminder to smile, conquer life's challenges and be kind to others.
The first event is Sept. 8: the Running 4 Ryan 5K Run for Fun at Al Lopez Park, followed by live music and food at MacDinton's. Coors Light, naturally, will donate a few kegs.
Ashley Cantin, a former Tampa Catholic classmate of Ryan's, will take part. She knew him casually from school, but didn't think too much back then of what he had to overcome to be part of the mainstream. Then four years ago, she gave birth to Sandra, who is afflicted with severe cerebral palsy. Her daughter is unable to speak or walk.
"Ryan is our inspiration," Cantin says. "He taught us that it's not OK just to be satisfied with the status quo. If all she ever does is learn to hold her head up, then that's something. We'll work together and we'll work hard, and maybe that little push will turn into something bigger."
Barbara Shuck used to wonder if her son had many friends. As close as he was to his family, he wanted his own space. He preferred that she wouldn't make surprise trips to his condo. Did people accept him for who he was and see the beautiful human being she knew him to be?
She sees now that she had nothing to fret about.

Following the debacle of Labour's defeat in the Glasgow East by-election, there will be a predictable clamour for Gordon Brown's scalp. As a Labour activist since the age of 16, what is happening to my party and to this Government is nothing short of a tragedy. But what is truly galling is that the vacuous and timid nature of our own party, over many years, is the root cause of our current predicament, and is the reason why the proposed solutions for improving our prospects seem so flawed.
That Gordon Brown was the heir apparent, whose dominance of the party was such that he was unopposed in the leadership elections spoke of a crisis of mammoth proportions at the top of our party. While the Tories held an open and exciting leadership election, which engaged the public, we held a moribund coronation followed by the ultimately misguided crowing which preceded the election that wasn't to be. That there were no senior or junior cabinet members prepared to offer a vision of the future of Labour politics in the UK was sad, and will now cost us dearly in the next General Election. The Labour Party seemed happy to accept this as a fait accompli. We hypnotised ourselves into believing that we were virtually destined to remain in power by virtue of the man who brought us prudence with a purpose.
That he may well have done. But the economic miracle of the Blair / Brown decade is unravelling, and what is left in its wake, is a vacuum , where there ought to be vision, and purpose. Those who talk of a leadership challenge later in the year, are tipping David Miliband and James Purnell as favourites. But here lies the danger, brought about by the lack of radical thought and policy discussion in the party during the last decade. If the solution to our current problems is to elect an overtly Blairite member of the Cabinet to lead the party and the Government, what hope is there that they will offer the vision necessary to reinvigorate the party, and more importantly, to reconnect with a completely disillusioned electorate.
We have allowed ourselves to become the party which, under Gordon Brown's leadership, has acted most swiftly, when trying to ram home huge 'establishment' projects like replacing Trident, or nuclear power stations. We have shown an almost complete lack of dynamism on environmental issues, until only very recently, with the renewable energy proposals. We had appeared to be almost entirely in the pocket of both the large energy companies, and their supporters in the office marked 'macro is best' at the Treasury. This allowed David Cameron to do the unthinkable – successfully present the Tories as the party most concerned about the environment. We abandoned the little man, who would have liked to be supported by his Government as he sought to take individual action by installing a wind turbine. We allowed the Treasury to convince the Government that big is always better – small 'c' conservatism of worst, and most dangerous kind. We enfeebled ourselves in thrall to huge economic interests, and in so doing showed the electorate our true colours.
On communities, we still seem to think that top down is best. In education, we persist with the over-burdening and over-testing of both children and teachers. On housing, we have quite simply failed to provide enough new, affordable homes for the private sector, or social homes for those who cannot get on the housing ladder. Why? Because we were in thrall to the market, and the boom in house prices. Why did a Labour Government allow the housing market to so singularly fail those who should be our core supporters? Why, because we were seeking to appeal most of all to the property-owning hoards of so-called middle England. We allow the perception to take hold that we care more about the wealthy, than those who are struggling to make ends meet, despite the admirable efforts of the Prime Minister to tackle poverty.
On welfare reform, we ignored the one Labour MP who actually possessed vision and the steadfastness required to enact it – Frank Field. In fact, the Prime Minister's belief in statism led to Field's sacking and thus our party presiding over the perpetuation of welfare dependency. It all could have been so different. The Prime Minister has a Business Council, but he doesn't have a council of public sector workers to advise him on how to deal with their concerns and improve services.
And yet we are faced with the prospect of a paralysed Brown premiership, lumbering on until May 2010, or that of a young leader such as David Miliband or James Purnell, both of whom are arch-Blairites and have done very little outside of politics. Do they offer the vision required to provide some radical solutions to the problems which Britain faces. I sincerely hope so, but in my heart of hearts, I must confess that I do not have much hope of this. I do not believe that the party knows what it stands for anymore. I know for sure that those talked of as potential future Labour Prime Ministers, have not done anything to show that they have what it takes to offer leadership and vision, or to do anything to rock the applecart in a way which leads to a fairer Britain. That is why the propects for my party are truly bleak.
These are just some early morning ramblings. I'll no doubt cheer up later!

First bath
The night we came home Lucas got his first bath...I cannot believe how horrible he screamed considering I had yet to hear him really cry. It was so heartbreaking to hear him cry but it was refreshing to smell a clean baby! We survived and now I get to cuddle with my sweet smell good baby.

Belly fat is a metabolically active type of fat that sits deep inside the abdominal cavity. It surrounds internal organs and releases compounds that make you vulnerable to metabolic disturbances, heart disease and inflammation.
Belly fat may be dangerous, but it's also responsive to traditional weight-loss strategies of diet and exercise. One pound of fat equals 3,500 calories; thus, to lose a pound, you must consume 3,500 calories fewer than you burn. In a week, you can't afford much more than a 3,500- or 7,000-calorie deficit without severely depriving yourself of nutrients and solid food. This deficit means you'll lose 1 or 2 pounds per week.
Some people can lose more than 2 pounds in a week with a dedicated fitness program and serious dietary restrictions.The time and effort required to lose weight that quickly is grueling and usually unsustainable, though. Even if you can lose a notable amount of weight in a week, a lot of it will be water weight -- not true belly fat. Weight you lose quickly is likely to be regained quickly too.
If you want to get a flat tummy , please call us , we suggest you the right beauty product to help you.

"When your Good Workout Week Has a Hiccup"
So you have sweated it out, made some PR's, and completed 2-3 workouts so far. BUT then the inevitable happens….Did you drive all the way to the gym and forgot your sneakers? Halfway through your workout week and extremely sore? Didn't pack your post-workout snack and hangry (opted for last nights pizza instead of the much needed carbs & protein)? First thing, remember that every challenge and obstacle is only going to make you more mentally tough. This will lead you to be able to continue your fitness journey with more ease! Don't let this one "bad" moment take away from your PR's or THREE completed workouts. Our brain is wired to focus on the bad rather than the good but you can retrain your mind to focus on all the positive moments you have collected so far. And that tomorrow is a new day!! Stay in the moment and don't let a little hiccup keep you from further progressing and challenging yourself 🙂

Heading Home
Posted May 25, 2008on:
It's kind of scary how much I've enjoyed this trip. My brother was critically ill, so this was far from a relaxing vacation. And as I mentioned in my post the other day, I'm staying in a very modest hotel, but it has seemed like heaven.
And I haven't had any real responsibilities. Someone else is cleaning my room – every day! my husband and daughter are fending for themselves at home; other than blogging, I haven't been working (that's the best part) and I haven't cooked or washed a dish since Wednesday. And the hours I've had alone at the hotel – pure bliss!
I guess the lesson is that I need to find a way to create more space for solitude, creativity and renewal in my daily life. I'm alone a lot during the day, but I'm either housecleaning or working – or feeling guilty that I should be doing one or the other. And being alone is not the same as solitude.
I'm going to try two ways to find the time and the space I need. One is something I just read about the other day called time striping, which I think might suit me better than the other systems I've tried for managing my time and my work. The other is the unschedule from Neil Fiore's The Now Habit, which encourages you to calendar the things you want to do before scheduling the things you "have" to do.
My organizing and decluttering project is still important to me, and essential for my serenity and peace of mind, but I really need to get this time management thing figured out and make more room for joy in my life.
Summer is coming and it feels like the perfect time for a fresh start. I hope One Bag Nation will help me stay on track with these resolutions; I'll definitely be posting about my pursuit of joy – along with order, serenity and peace of mind.
2 Responses to "Heading Home"
One Bagger:
This morning, I linked to your blog from Unclutterer. I have only had time to read "Heading Home." I was stunned by the similarities between where you are and where I am (or at least where I WAS).
I have already read the sources you cited. I have a home office that I have begun calling, "The Pit." I, too, spend a lot of time alone. I don't really do things I enjoy with the time, but I don't really get much accomplished with it either. I mostly just feel overwhelmed and anxious. I NEED joy in my life! And I need to actually FOLLOW one of the schedules I have made for myself.
I have always found a conundrum in my motivations: Weight loss is the best motivator for losing weight, and accomplishment is the best motivator for accomplishing.
I was plugging away to the best of my current abilities, thinking I might just barely see a pinpoint of light shining around the bend… behind some really large trees… and a mountain.
Then, our younger son, who went through a divorce this past year, announced two weeks ago that he was moving back home! YIKES! And bringing his two dogs-the-size-of-ponies (80-120 pounds). DOUBLE YIKES!
Any thoughts of organization, joy, and serenity have flown out every window in the house!

This looks good, folks. Like hella good. It 's a really cool, short Australian film called Arrowhead: Signal that has been optioned to turn into a TV series (although some sites are reporting a feature film, so things are confusing right now) I hope that American TV picks this Australian series up when it starts airing. There is a short film to watch at the link and also a making of documentary. Sweet! Sorry he didn't get his funding for a film (if you believe io9), but now we get a series. Yay! Or Australia does. Like I said, I hope that someone in America realizes it needs to be aired here if the show turns out to be as good as the short film.

Computer forensics is a fairly substantial area, and for this reason the courses are normally separated in to 2 parts, ENCE I and ENCE II, here we will discuss both of the courses, how you will benefit and what you can expect to learn and gain experience in through taking the training.
Through some hands on exercises, real life simulations and text book work you will gain knowledge and confidence in the following areas which you can then take back to your workplace or use your knowledge towards a new career in computer forensics;
What constitutes digital evidence and how computers work
An overview of the EnCase Computer Forensic Methodology
Basic structures of the FAT and NTFS file systems
How to create a case and how to preview/acquire media
How to conduct basic keyword searches
How to analyze file signatures and view files
How to restore evidence
How to archive files and data created through the analysis process
How to prepare evidence for presentation in court
How to verify the evidence file
The above topics will give you the base knowledge in computer forensics and upon completion of this course you may find you want to enhance your new found talent and take the eNXCE II course also.The ENCE I is ideal for security professionals and litigation staff that are new in their field or wish to expand their knowledge, you will learn proper handling of computer evidence and then through all the stages to analysis, and finally how to properly archive data so it may be stored and retrieved as required.
Once you have gained the skills from ENCE I moving on to ENCE II you will learn;
How to create and use of logical evidence files
How to locate and recover deleted partitions and folders
How to conduct keyword searches and advanced searches using GREP
Students will gain an understanding of the EnCase Virtual File System (VFS) and Physical Disk Emulator (PDE)
Students will learn about the Windows® Registry
Students will learn how to deal with compound file types
How to export files, directories and entire volumes
How to identify files using hash values and building hash libraries
How to identify Windows XP operating system artifacts such as link files, recycle bin, and user folders
How to prepare reports and evidence for presentation in court
How to recover artifacts such as swap files, file slack, and spooler files
How to recover printed and faxed pages
As you see the ENCE II is more involved and your computer forensics experience from the ENCE I and your workplace will be of a great assistance here.To find out more about the computer forensic courses and what is right for you visit www.KnowledgeCenterInc.com for more details.

Small town celebrations! We have enjoyed/participated in Johnstown BBQ Days since we moved here in 1989. Early in the morning the first Saturday of June 1990 we were scared to death when we woke to fire engines going up and down every street with their sirens blaring and megaphones shouting "Get out of bed!" We didn't know the firemen wanted everyone to be at the fire station for breakfast; we just thought the town was on fire!! Nowadays, Johnstown has grown so much that our area of town does not get the continuous supply of sirens it used to. We can actually turn over and go back to sleep. All the years Randy and Tim were teenagers, they got up and went to the fire station to eat breakfast. Rowen has gone a few times, but I have never gone. But we don't sleep in on BBQ Day. There is always a cause to be involved in. Some years we have walked the parade in support of various candidates, but in the last 12 years or so, some in our family have either helped with the museum activities or parade entry or the parade organization itself. Randy and Tim used to love helping with the parade, and wearing STAFF shirts!
This year, Jeffrey drove the ACE float in the parade, and Rowen and I helped staff the Parish House Museum. Emily walked in the parade with other historical volunteers, and Beth and Jason took pictures.

There were booths in the park all afternoon, free tours at the Museum, duck races on the irrigation canal, a play at the high school, and the fireworks at nightfall. Plenty of stuff to do in Johnstown on BBQ Day!

Skip to comments.So What if Van Jones Resigns? Other Extremists Wait in the Wings
Posted on 09/04/2009 10:43:41 AM PDT by Welshman007
Van Jones, self-avowed Communist and Barack Obama's 'green jobs czar,' is rumored to be resigning.
So what?
Obama has more radical, leftwing extremists already in the White House and an entire pool of these nutcases from which to choose yet another Marxist for the job.
In fact, Obama's senior political adviser who has been with him since the early days of his political career in Chicago is another extremist. Her name is Valerie Jarrett, and her views on a variety of issues mirror those of Jones, Emanuel, Lloyd, and Holdren.
(Excerpt) Read more at examiner.com ...
Pretty dumb question the author asks. It will give Glen Beck and others plenty of additional chances to continue to expose Obama and his ilk as the Marxist-Socialists that they are. The country is catching on and it is the unveiling of Obama's "associates" that is a key feature of this situation. That is, if the One does not move to keep them from the airways.... and in that event, watch out.
Aside from the humiliation factor and a small amount of public embarrassment for Obama, Van Jones is just one of several "acorns" in the Obama organization, of which he's the CEO.
Stupid voters elected him right along with the democrat majorities in both houses of congress.
Van Jones is not going away. He might resign, but he's not leaving "the scene." He'll manage to do feed off the taxpayer by the billions and create hate and discontent.
I believe this may be the one hang-up the O Admin may have about sacking this guy. The minute they let him go it will only juice-up the witch hunt after any/all of the remaining czars. It will legitimize (in the MSM sense) more scrutiny of the whole bunch and I think they are afeared of that.
Special Zoo.
I hope Van Jones stays, and 0bama vigorously defends him in public.
"Pretty dumb question the author asks."
Like saying if you kill the visible roaches there'll be more coming out of the woodwork. Well I got news for him - we got more cans of RAID.
The best thing to do with these vermins is to keep shining some strong light on them - and spray and stomp on them while they scatter.
Its going to be like "whack-a-mole" ... bang one down and another will pop up. But isn't that the "joy" of the game, otherwise who would every play it? (hmmm whack-a-czar ... has a nice ring ... maybe the beginnings of a marketing plan?)
Bingo! They have to be very careful. I am predicting a round of "the new McCartyism" accusations. That should do the trick.
If Van Jones resigns, it will be a beginning. Perhaps the beginning of the end of the Obama Administration.

In an earlier blog, I discussed the benefits of Vitamin C. Some benefits discussed include; anti-aging & the prevention and correction of sun damage. Unfortunately, the expensive Vitamin C products are not always stable and effective. When exposed to air, vitamin C undergoes oxidation and becomes not only ineffective but also potentially harmful (oxidized vitamin C may increase the formation of free radicals). So many of the Vitamin C products we buy, may be ineffective a week after opening or sometimes sooner. Another issue with Vitamin C products that are bought in department and drug stores are that they claim to give amazing results from the Vitamin C, but don't contain nearly enough quality Vitamin C to product results.
***The cheapest and most effective thing to do is make your own. Make batches weekly to ensure quality, and store DIY (do it yourself) product in a small dark amber, air-tight bottle to avoid oxidation.
Here are 2 great recipes I found on a website=)
Vitamin C Serum #1
This serum is quite flexible, but you need to make new batches regularly so it stays fresh and potent.
- ½ teaspoon l-ascorbic acid powder
- 3½ teaspoon distilled water (bottled water is fine, should be at room temperature)
- 1½ teaspoon vegetable glycerin or aloe vera gel
- 1 amber or dark blue glass bottle
1. Make sure your glass bottle is sterile by boiling it in some hot water. You can also sterilize it with some rubbing alcohol.
2. Wait for the bottle to cool and dry completely.
3. Add the l-ascorbic acid to the bottle.
4. Add the distilled water.
5. Swish around the bottle or use a stirrer until all the l-ascorbic acid is dissolved.
6. Add the propylene glycol or glycerin or others.
7. Mix well (cap the bottle and keep shaking until everything is blended or use a stirrer) and use up as early as possible.
Vitamin C serum #2
This vitamin C serum mixes vitamin C with ferulic acid and E. Ferulic acid stabilizes the vitamin C.
This vitamin C serum mixes vitamin C with ferulic acid and E. Ferulic acid stabilizes the vitamin C.
- 2 shot glasses
- 1 oz. cobalt or amber dropper or pump bottle
- 1 tsp L-Ascorbic Acid
- 1/4 tsp (1 ml) Vitamin E (equals 1%)
- .5% of Ferulic Acid (1 good pinch)
- 2 tsp SKB (Sea Kelp Bioferment)
- 3 + 1/2 tsp of distilled water
- 1/2 tsp of vodka (vodka will dissolve the FA so it's not gritty, and it also keeps the ph low enough.)
1. In first shot glass, put 1 tsp C into the 3 + 1/2 tsp of distilled water. Put on the side, stirring occasionally till FULLY dissolved (This can be anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour, so have patience.)
2. In 2nd shot glass put in 1/2 tsp vodka, and sprinkle the FA in and mix. When it has dissolved fully, add in the vitamin E + SKB and stir it all up well.
3. When the LAA has fully dissolved in the 1st shot glass, mix the contents of both glasses together, stir very well, and carefully pour into your 1oz bottle.
4. Keeping it in a cool, dry and dark place or the fridge will keep it potent and stable.


text: Another question to ask is whether our technological advancement is achieving its full potential. If not, what factors might be negatively influencing this potential? Government intervention through regulations, the resistance of technological implementation by unions concerned about job loss, and even the re-purposing of technology towards areas in which it will not flourish or come to full fruition—all of these contribute to the slowing of advancement. Other concerns involve the length of time it takes for technology to move into our culture, and this can be affected in a number of ways. Consider the time it sometimes takes technology to move from early adopters to mainstream use, or the time required to build particular infrastructure to support new technology (for example, car charging stations are still not prevalent in the U.S.) How is one to accurately measure the rate of technological advancement, especially when all these and other factors are considered?

Back to journal style. I like recording everyday of life with Sofia as long as I have time to do it. 🙂 Although it might look boring to you because it tends to be repetitive, I like it that way, wonderfully ordinary. 🙂 I'm a creative of routine, I like to know what to expect and mix up a bit from time to time.
Still raining here, so stay-in for the 4 or 5th day in a row.
Sofia woke up at 7:15 am. After changing and feeding her, we did a bit of FaceTime with Star for some daughter-dad interaction! 🙂 Sofia is changing everyday and I feel bad that Star can't be present for the moment, but that's temporary and we do what we have to do to make it less painful.
I made my recent favorite breakfast combo
gluten free pancakes with almond butter sauce
scrambled eggs with ketchup
I like to have eggs in the morning but still loving the pancakes, so why not having both? 😉
Sofia looked me curious
although she sleeps a lot during the day, when she's awake, she's AWAKE and wants to look everything everywhere
mom made some vegetarian dumplings for me in the morning
and I had some pomelo (obsessed with it!) while reading
For lunch, mom wanted to have italian rice with seafood casserole, so I google the recipe and made it for her
she also had some sweet potato fries
italian rice with seafood casserole
It's really easy to make. Sautee rice, onion, garlic, frozen corn with a bit of butter, add the seafood mix, season with S+P and parmesan, top it with cheese (cheddar + mozzarella) and bake at 400F for 10 min.
I had few bites and it's delicious. I had to restrain myself not to have too many bites since cheese is not breastfeed-friendly.
My lunch
roasted squash turkey pastel, bok choy and corn
decaf cappuchino
Afternoon was spent napping and reading. I finished Teach Your Children Well and once again, I learned so much from it. Her writing is clear and precise and give good examples. Will talk about it more later.
My friend Sarah paid me a visit in the evening, just before she was going to the hospital. She was going to be induced today and last night was the first part. She's already 41 weeks and still no dilated at all. Praying for her!!!
leftover bok choy
silken tofu with asian duck egg
My PM routine.
7:30- finished nursing Sofia and put her in the crib. Asleep baby! 🙂
Skin care PM routine: cleanser, eye cream and moisturizer. Sometime I also use toner and serum.
Night snacks:
white fungus soup
I do corn every single night, kabocha 2-3 times a week.
Stuffed with night snacks, ready to pump!
Then, I watch half of a movie or tv series and go to bed before 9pm.
Q: What's your night routine?
Q: What's your favorite night snack?

So, I call every ENT in the phone book yesterday morning, trying to get Emma an appointment for her lump thing. Most of the people tell me that they don't have any available openings for at least a month. I finally get one for next Tuesday, but I knew I needed to find something sooner. Emma's chin was starting to get pinkish & warm, and the PA had said that those were both signs of an infection. So, I'm starting to freak out. I get another appointment for Friday morning, but I ended up calling them back & asking them if I thought I should just take her to the ER because I thought she was getting an infection, or could it wait until my appointment. They ended up squeezing her in, and she was able to see the ENT. He didn't confirm that it was the thryoglossal duct cyst that the PA had thought it was, and instead called it a "midline neck mass" which doesn't sound much better. He said it could be any number of things, but that most likely it was the cyst. But he said in order to confirm that, he'd have to do a head CT, and all sorts of tests, along with a biopsy. Major stuff. Plus he said that all the biopsy would show now is infected cells, so we would have to wait until the infection was gone anyways. So, Emma's on antibiotics for 10 days, and we'll have to do the medical stuff when we get back home. I'm kinda hoping it will shrink & go away for right now, but on the other hand, if it does, there won't be anything to take samples of, and we'd have to wait for it to show up again. I'm hoping they'll do the biopsy & CT scan at the same time, because I know they're going to have to put her out for those. They put her out last year when she got a CT scan to try & find out what was causing her Bell's palsy. Not a fun prospect but at least I'll have Jeff around for support this time.

Download "So Portland" Exclusive Partnership with VTech Album For FREE RIGHT NOW
I was actually inspired to knock out "So Portland" by the fact that I already had the title in my head, but never really put it all together to get it out there to the people.
I have always been very proud of where I came from, and I always like to put it out there that quality hip-hop comes out of Portland. We have never been looked at as a hot bed for urban music, but I feel like we hold it down in grand fashion and we are putting out some very high quality music.
I wanted to give the people a recent recap of some of my work, as well as new and exclusive tracks that hadn't been out there yet for release.
On this project was able to release material that we did with E-40, BG of The Hot Boys, Luni Coleone, Jake One, Bosko, Maniac Lok, Kenny Mack, Pricy, Toni Hill, J. Townsend, and Chris Ray.
This project is an example of where I have come from to where I am going. One of my favorite tracks on this album is "Young Mix A Lot", as it pays tribute to a NW legend, who we had the privilege of working with. Another standout track is "Blacktop" which features Pricy. The feeling of this song just puts me in a good place, and is going to be released on my upcoming album "Incredible". Another song that really means alot to me is "Jesus Juice", as I am a very spiritual person, and I was just putting a spin on the Michael Jackson term for wine, but really just saying come take a sip of what makes me create great music. I had a lot of blessings over the years, and gotta pay my respects.
Another fine point about "So Portland" is that it is entirely clean and kid friendly, so you can play it in any environment.

Cool Nutz Bio
- Cool Nutz Lifestyle Blog
- Portland, Oregon, United States
- Growing up in Northeast Portland, OR, Terrance Scott pka Cool Nutz always kept his eyes on the prize. Hip-Hop culture had always played a huge role in his life, but at no point did he think that Hip-Hop culture and business would mix to put food on the table. Using Run DMC's "Rock Box" as his initial inspiration, Cool Nutz teamed up with childhood friend Bosco Kante to start their pursuit of the dream. From the early days basement studio, to tours of Europe, Cool Nutz has represented Portland Hip-Hop not only on a local level, but has carried the city on his back on a global level. From the vocal booth to the boardroom, Cool Nutz and Bosko went from aspiring artist and producer to the heads of independent powerhouse record label Jus Family Records. Using Jus Family Records as the outlet to release albums from Cool Nutz, it was also the vehicle to release titles from G-Ism, Maniac Lok, Izaya, Luni Coleone & Cool Nutz, D.B.A., and Kenny Mack.

Jon Cooper featured artist

I'm a senior at St. Peters High School in Orleans, Ontario. I was looking for a new way to earn community service hours for my HS diploma and came across this event. I thought, 'I look out my window and walk or drive through my neighborhood everyday; so this would be a neat thing to do'. I was surprised at how few birds I saw. Maybe because it's the winter, maybe the area I live in? I live in a residential area, with schools, parks etc and trees all around, but I just didn't see that many when I was looking. The ones I did see, a blue jay, an American kestrel, some black crows and wild turkeys (not in… read more →
Many thanks to regular guest blogger Carlos Barbery for the following post. The Baillie Birdathon is the oldest sponsored bird count in North America. It raises money for bird research and conservation. The challenge is to identify as many bird species as possible within a 24-hour period. I was the featured birder for Innis Point Bird Observatory and chose to do my birdathon on May 19th. We started our Baillie Birdathon at 4:30am by heading up to Gatineau Park to listen for several target birds we had heard on our Owl survey in April. We were able to hear not one, but three Barred Owls, as well as an American Woodcock, but did not hear the Wilson's Snipe we had… read more →
Many thanks to guest blogger Carlos Barbery for the following post. Check out Carlos' impressive bio below! My backyard has had lots of very interesting birds. Our neighbourhood includes a Pine forest and is also right next to the Lac Deschenes IBA so we get a mixture of different birds. So far, we have had over fifty-six species that we've seen in our backyard and the list is growing. Many are foraging for insects on the trees and some are just flying over like Ring-billed gulls, Common Terns, Bald Eagles and Common Nighthawks. One of the most unexpected birds that was flying over but ended up landing in our backyard was a Wood Duck. We have the expected birds visiting… read more →
Get to know some of the species at risk in the Lac Deschênes IBA with the Species Spotlight, aka "Sp-Spot". Today meet the: Barn Swallow Scientific Name: Hirundo rustica SARA Status: No Status; Ontario: Threatened Taxonomic Group: Birds Size: An average length of 14.6-19.9 cm, weight of 17-20 g, and wingspan of 31.8-34.3 cm Characterized by its velvety blue posterior and long forked tail, the barn swallow is one of the most widespread species in the world that can be found on every continent except for Antarctica and Australia. It is a rather small bird which is easily identified by its distinctive flight behaviour in which groups of at least a dozen individuals fly close to the ground in zig-zagging… read more →

Franklin Graham posted this on Facebook about the Air Force Academy, which is under attack by an atheist group:
Atheist Mikey Weinstein and his ironically named Military Religious Freedom Foundation is now picking on the US Air Force Academy (Official) football team! After seeing Falcon players kneel in prayer before last Saturday's game against San Diego State, he says it must stop. He said Air Force players participating in public prayer "is a scandalous outrage" and calls it "a disgrace" and "a putrid example of Christian supremacy." Since when is voluntary prayer scandalous or putrid? The Air Force Academy now says that it will conduct an inquiry into the situation. I call this a foul! Join me in praying that the religious freedoms of these young men will not be taken away as a result of one bitter person bent on removing God and His Son Jesus Christ from everything in this country. America owes its blessings to Almighty God—and our founding fathers knew that.
Pray that the Falcons will be allowed to continue their voluntary time of prayer.
Graham asks for people to post comments in support of the football team. His Facebook account link is here: https://www.facebook.com/FranklinGraham/?fref=nf

Advances in manufacturing methods and material technology have meant that production of multi corner, double sided negative inserts can now be reliably formed with a large rake angle. This means the sharpness of conventional positive geometry inserts can be successfully combined with the strength and versatility of negative type inserts, and importantly, ensures that both sides can be utilised as a cutting edge. The overall positive geometry also gives far lower cutting resistance, and all the inherent advantages that brings, than would be possible with a true negative rake insert.
This technology has brought about the expansion of the successful AHX640W of cutters that were originally designed for use only on cast iron applications. A much larger range of materials from alloy and hardened steels through to stainless steels and super alloys can now be machined with the new AHX640S type cutters.
The AHX-S and the already existing AHX-W cutter, along with choices of fine or standard pitch types, now provides the user with an expanded choice. This is especially important with regards to the power available on a particular machine and ensures a high level of productivity. If a large number of teeth causes the power available on a machine to be exceeded, switching to a cutter with fewer teeth, but at a higher feed per tooth can prove beneficial.
The cutter bodies are available from Ø63 – Ø200 in both standard and fine pitch types. Additionally, the bodies are equipped with through coolant holes to further aid chip removal and promote longer tool life. The geometry of the 360 degree contact area on the clamping face also provides the essential insert anti-fly component needed for high speed productivity.
The unique heptagonal, 14 corner inserts are secured with a central clamping screw. This permits a much larger chip pocket design to cope with steel chips that are generally longer than chips formed when machining cast iron. A tried and trusted VP15TF Miracle based coated insert with a new MP chip breaker provides the performance and reliability needed to machine alloy steels, stainless steels and super alloys. In addition, these inserts can also be used at lower speeds on ductile and grey cast irons. Higher performance when machining cast irons with the AHX-S body can be realised by using the MC5020 grade with MK or HK chip breakers. The inserts also feature a corner number sintered into the face for ease of recognition when indexing.
Three different chip breakers are available to suit various applications. The MK breaker with a double positive cutting edge geometry offers low cutting resistance and makes it suitable for cast iron applications on less rigid and older machines and the new MP breaker is ideal for steel and super alloys and also cast iron. The insert chip-breaker range is complemented by HK and WK types for heavy and wiper style machining respectively.

Looking around the web, there seems to be some tasty articles floating around that might be interesting to you Austin foodies out there. Especially with the creation of FoodPress.com by WordPress.com that focuses on food blogs, I thought this to be especially appropriate.
First, the new Wendy's fries that should be soon making its appearance at Jester, the Union, and other Wendy's across Austin. Especially for food lovers and for people who want to know what's going into their food, Wendy's will be giving their fries a makeover by making sure you know where the fries are coming from by showing a little potato skin. 😛
The reformed fries are just one of many changes being made by Wendy's to add "more natural" foods to their menu by making sure its customers can see where the ingredients came from. The fries won't be healthier, but they will hopefully be tastier with the calorie boost. Sodium content may increase, but if you're worried these new changes will affect price, be worried not. Wendy's fries will still be coming out as cheap as ever.
Which reminds me, have you tried a McRib yet? The tasty effervescent McDonald's sandwich that some McDonald's foodies travel miles across the country to taste. They are now available nationwide at McDonald's for a limited time only and will soon be taken away, lost to the hidden recipe vaults except for its rare sightings around the country. Interested in the myths, I decided to finally try this legendary sandwich. I went to the McDonald's near campus on MLK and looked hard for the sandwich, but couldn't see it on the menu. Deterred by its game of hide-and-seek, I almost didn't order it, but asked for it anyway. The guy immediately knew what I wanted and apparently it is one of those secret, off-menu sandwiches.
Biting into a McRib with wild berry smoothie at hand, I waited for a tastebud explosion. Sadly, that did not happen, but I'll admit it was quite a tasty creation. The McRib is basically a sub sandwich with a barbecue pork patty inside. Pickles and onions lay secretly underneath the bread as a surprise crunch and extra addition of flavor that certainly brightens up the dish. At first, I was just eh, but as I continued to eat it, I really learned to appreciate the subtle crunchiness of the onions playing with the sourness of the pickle and tasty barbecue sauce on the fatty pork. Altogether, a rather delicious sandwich and one I will surely eat again before the McRib goes back to its elusive status. I definitely recommend trying before it disappears! Rating: 😛 😛 😛 😛 😛 just so you can say you've seen the legend and it was good (or bad, depends on your capacity for fast food nutrition).
Finally, a fun article that appeared on Yahoo! recently: 10 Fast Food Items Turned Into Fancy Dishes. I couldn't believe it until I saw it, but there they are, some of the most delicious looking fast food dishes I've ever seen. It's crazy what you can do with enough imagination and experimentation.
The article touts the ability of a blogger, Erik Trinidad, to make fast food into a fancy looking dish, blowing away the stereotype of fast food sandwich, drink, and fries. My personal favorite is the Jack-In-The-Box Bento Box that really looks like something I'd like to take to school. If you're tired of eating the same fast food every day, why not try one of the Fancy Fast Food methods to make fast food the right way?
Thanks for checking out some tasty articles and next will finally be a BBQ post (with pictures!!!). A must for a blog about Austin, Texas.

Do the origins of some religions relate to epilepsy?
See my most recent YouTube video:
Does An Ancient Babylonian Medical Treatise Have An Amazing Insight...
Two of my other YouTube videos that are very relevant to this topic:
Heaven Within You: Ecstatic Seizures
Please let me know what you think.
Views: 275
I recently purchased the book "Sleep Paralysis: Night-mares, Nocebos, and the Mind-Body Connection", by Shelley R. Adler. I haven't read all of it, but it seems pretty good so far.
"Paralysis" occurs to almost everyone during REM sleep (in order to prevent the acting out of dreams). It is a problem if it DOESN'T occur. The sleep paralysis that you refer to seems to be when someone becomes conscious during this paralysis. It is absolutely harmless... unless people harm themselves by fearful reaction to it. Much of the response to it is cultural, especially the dream accompaniment. Some Japanese horror fans have reported seeing Sadako--of The Ring (Ringu)--and get a big thrill out of this! When I had my own sleep paralysis experience, I already knew about the paralysis that accompanies REM and so it just amused me to finally experience it.
Adler thinks that the sleep paralysis experience you are talking about occurs primarily when people sleep on their backs. This was the case with me (and I rarely sleep on my back), and when I asked a friend about his own experiences he said that this was the case with him as well. Perhaps there is something to that idea.
Your video "Heaven within You: Ecstatic Seizures" is quite remarkable. When you asked the question at the very end of if the experience of heaven can be experienced again without a living brain, it reminded me of something I heard last summer. Apparently, the religious may be changing their tone about their traditional views of the afterlife.
Last summer, I was house-sitting for my father while he was in Montana. I was visited at his door by two Jehovah's Witnesses who wanted to talk to me about the afterlife. Although I don't believe in the afterlife, I'm not rude, especially since he seemed to be with his son at the time. I stood in the doorway and listened to his speech. He said that the dead are not really conscious of anything. According to him, upon reaching heaven the soul exists in an eternity of mindless bliss.
To me, this view of the afterlife begs a question; if this is what we have to look forward to in the afterlife, then why even have an afterlife at all? Why would a god give us life after death if that life is essentially the same as being comatose for the rest of eternity?
I always bring this point out when Johovah's Witnesses come to my door. I ask them, quite honestly, "Aren't you diminishing your own odds of getting to heaven by trying to convert more people?"
Mark- I think your You Tube videos are fascinating, and I thank you for taking on this study. I've said for a long time that I think some day, we will look at religious people as having a form of mental illness. Your study, however, illustrates that it may be a neurological effect (at least in forming religions... I still think people willing to follow the "enlightened ones" must have some form of mental issues to continue to buy into these ideas).
