It's. It's. Do you like here you wanna learn how to make your own beer it's time for just grew brought to you by now every traditional group here's your host Jeremy White. Merchandise to I look at that actresses just early morning turbulent for doctor here on his morning happy Saturday. Spring we are in spring and so official that is what the long term forecast hopefully. Brocade for the next couple months now you know temperatures. It's supposed to get up into the fifties. All next week and even sixty maybe tomorrow so. Good stuff lots to get through today were a talk about formulating recipes. Barley wine I've got a question on might. Tegra raider all that how to clean it because I've got a specific thing I wanna do but before it's all that. A new hop prize home when we avail I mentioned before. No we just found out we were giving some and that's comment and so this is one that was popular for the past two years it's and Americans he hop. That has a nice tropical fruit play deeper in the channel later under the tropical fruits shall more pineapple. And so it was a good hop for summer when he won that interest into pearl. It's one I know I talked about a lot on the show so I can telly and think about one. So few parties have every C top prize home we got a new one for yeah. So prominent and again we limited quantities so if you really want to call I'd give pre order and and we are starting to get some of the rise homes in and slowly so we got a couple of them last night. Arm expect a call for us in the next two weeks we don't have all the Fridays and yep porn star putting aside matching up with names on the pre order until you pre ordered. Expect called the next two weeks otherwise if you're looking to comment and just grab one. I think next week we should have from. Some open for sale and I and so with the weather we're game I would say go ahead and get plan. Poker very good we're gonna get to some other things the U behind deadline is April 26 the upstate New York home brewers association competition. People point six the deadline for that were also approaching national home brewed day which comes up enough early may. Which is right after the Kentucky Derby via so. This is why am approaching you with a recipe for relation Wanamaker right now and you'd suburban style but the timer silent on the dirt rural Romany suburban style mental expert. It's a terrible idea but first Texas delegates who I've mentioned this on a show earlier I finally got around to. Pouring out for some you know for year old remember your best front. I poured out. A lot of fear I had to call it on a couple of kegs that world I'm me a New England IPA when the bills played the rams. To let you know how long hated man. And before that one I made a harvest ale kind of and they were just sit and and nobody was drinking. This is the one disadvantage that we don't often talked about was tagging systems. If you put a beer on tap that doesn't. Can consume great noise canceling especially if it's like night PA or something like that the release intended to be consumed fresh. Your aspirations to drink it. Diminishes the keg its older and so they do eventually sitting around where few of bottles it's going someplace cold. If you want me another batch of beer grab some more bottles but if you only have a limited number tags. You can really cannon pinch yourself they're. And a corporate space. On and it happens and yet stinks. Yeah I had to dump a lot and I you know as I'm dumping my taste on you weren't that bad. But it's just not something that since I'm the one that's home all the time I would call often drink Boris. If I make a pretty sweet awesome stout. I'm not a sweet stuff Austin's now I I will drink it so to that a minute. For primary customer and in you save a lot of money home you know that's if you have to count on some beer once while still saving money. And you get to brook and that's where I won on that or wannabes like I need to get my style budget. Down so I need to make an off someone that's all save all hundred bucks a month because that is by these fifteen dollar styles of it as people Madrid and the other and it like I just. Mike Dietrich and and trying to. So anyway before we Tibet so in the process I'm pleaded not like clean lines I'm basically going to. You know I move the keg or greater I'm. Everything like start fresh and the lines that go about the tower from you guys that would probably a vote of freezer with the temperature gates thing. I wanted to know if it's worth it and how. Tedious it is to take the lines that gulf from the inside of the tolerated applauses. I think I should just replace those radically knows I think edges replace. If this system's been sitting around for awhile and you have the ambitions replace your draft lines I and always encourage people to it because if you end up using a system consistently in take care from their gonna sit their first year and so if you don't have. And a little bit of staining or something like that from beer sitting in the lines. I always encourage people just to change it. It's going to be can be easier to clean down the road Ian Anderson meet you field the better. Now the power always cable tricky and in the first thing everybody tries to do is get their fingers in the air and somehow kit. The arm holds up the bar inside the towers of the nobody's if you haven't looked in time to draft how ports three inch tube usually about eighteen inches long. It has the camp at the top so pursing kept the top comes off. Arm and then when you look inside to see a bent. Elbow coming out of a change in hand if you're pro strategist disappearing into the darkness. On and so what you need to do is on hook. The and yet the cap. So take the hose off the bar to the disconnect. And then go up to the tower. Pop a little off and then go you'll see a single brass not behind the faucet. What you do is on screw that not try to hold onto it's it doesn't fall back on the power in the new poll Fossett holds an all. All the way out through the power that we can put down a table you can clean the part. You can give screwdriver on it tick off that votes are and then to reassemble simply put everything back together and start fishing. The line on the tower. And that's. OK so it's it's fairly simple little bit harder and doing just a regular offered Fossett something mounted on the door. But worthwhile to do with your inspired. Bit. I think I images seems. And what's the shelf life funnels on on hoses and how many Beers have they gone through I would say I've had the power now for almost what three years and old peers have gone through their like I wanna say it's probably time. That's kind of a shame. Over three years or twelve years well logs through those hotels a random it was a if it probably more than twelve Beers but anyway but I had him for three years and I've put lots of different kind through. And I actually usually cleaners I was mentioning that I had to it's called power punch that's the one ahead in the green solution. Which you might you might dimension is more for industrial lines not necessarily. Not necessarily full home brew of food great purposes and general on anything it's food grade is gonna work you know and and could be safe. The question becomes is how was that treating your equipment in one residues or precipitate some might leave behind and I did your dad having that you're having that blocked and I casing anything you should be okay. I think he won that took the proper cleaner for cleaning out your lines are cheap enough so I use. Combination. I usually just be bright to talking to 99 for app on top. Citric acid at five dollars for pound. Cotton's Darcy and four dollar for five ounces using a fifth amounts each tuchman and all those can go through those lines Karen and they also those lines you've got it in the American cause any damage and need chrome idol in the protein silicone or stainless steel brass copper parts. And so you don't have to worry about finding any cream precipitated. Or black and chrome or anything from. And he take the PA tree action. Jump in with the citric acid obviously PH reactions were positive. So stripping off we have a lot of minerals and stuff like that from parts same thing for the the connects the detractors political as the ball went our connectors if there's a little pro chip on the OCC that flat in dent in the top. That is first standard screwdriver you can actually take those a perk clean a lot of people don't realize that so when they have problems the Clark argued knew what. You can open that up we carry all the parts for insight so. If one happens to fall down with saint. You know we can replace of Korea but. The other easy to take part should look at the insight every once in awhile a lot of top bits how many arts inside the dollar to violence through that or is it. It's pulling apart like everything is gonna be under a little bit of tension beard and him a pop at your happy spring birds washroom Papa. Arm and then you have the camp and there shall walks from the cap whose only a couple of parties and there but inside that's boring. You tend to get some bits he might wanna open those up wanton so those same kind of thing you're due out and depth are sent our and you write in its not something I do every. And we talked about this couple weeks ago. About every industry standard was every two weeks decrease he's your chapel Aldrin and we're not gonna do about it and so I traded to a between every cac. And I don't just assemble. I don't even back sukur talked about ID to me you'll be easier on myself. Instead of hooking up faucet to flush my lines of up to the disconnect. So make my elect will be here I was Greek cleaning. But I do that between every cat. All right but I wanna do it accuses you you know two in overtime I'm at the point where. I wanna like completely. Like new refurbish my own. Keys are systems so to take animal park to soak every part. On a good ego and that Elena filled with a good beer look I'm I'm ready to find. The right recipe. On the efforts taken somebody else's at this point I sure I'd love to make my own or tweak somebody else's. But I want to make a big awesome. Stout. Or robust pour even you know like I don't even need to go to him so. We are back with talk about that if you are looking for love or recipe if you are trying to find that. You know we won. That's our topic coming recipe formulation where do you find. That's up next as we continue here on night vision just threw it yet. Jerry white here for Niagara tradition home brewing supplies. You're listening to just brew it which means. Either you home brew or your thinking about it. Wherever you are the process Niagara tradition home brew is your source for everything home brewing. Do what I did give circuit and you'll be well on your way tiger traditional there to answer your questions give you advice and as I try to become a more season Braugher and art can count. On nighter tradition to be there with a supplies and the advice I need. Now Irish edition home brewing supplied. 1296 shared drive near military entitle wanna open monitor Friday eleven to seven Saturday's ten to four. And 24/7. And NT home brewed dot com now Iger tradition home brew. Paid him a visit and remember to just Peru. I welcome back tonight traditions just through adherence ESPN. 1520 Jeremy Reich guys. All right recipe. Inspiration formulation that we are today you. You wanna find something that you Wanamaker and your next great beer word use are well aware how do you get either the the blueprint or just a template. Or down right to just give me some great to make I think the hardest part and I can say this is a definitely true for me personally and I've BBC it in the shop all the time when people come in the real excited group. Deciding exactly what super. In doing that having a clear focus of what you're trying to do and so accurate talking about you wanna make appear to have toppled it to a imperialists out for an export robots Porter. Pick a clear example of what you wanna do. Whenever you look at recipe formulation you've come across a lot of ingredients that may be never used before that you are really intrigued by Ike. And you can either build appear around those ingredient but they don't fit the style appear your trying to meek. Com don't try to put him in and again I'm really guilty of this so I find new ingredient ever Saturday I think of what I wanna hear about untapped. In the and I try to force those ingredients in some way. Sometimes it works out sometimes it causes some problems but they make bad beer. With those ingredients that doesn't really fits dialogue doesn't have that perfect balance. So the first thing going Kurt people who do is pick a certain style. Coach me be the BJ CP guidelines look at what the classic examples are Korda at your dad to kit look at what the most popular. Brands are and then go out and and give yourself a mixer sixer. In trials pierce while you're trying them try to figure out as much as he can take some notes. Fer you know what ingredients or use. What statue canyon on the bureau there starting Greta V finishing gravity I'd be use what battering her finishing apps they use who they get their malts from. Anything you can find raven down while you're trying to appear. A lot of times too you can look up some cloned recipes while trying to appear. So see what other people trying to match said exact beer put together what worked out well for them right Augusta. Put it down keeper with each of the Beers keep the bubbles around. And then when you go to formulate your recipe I'm not seeing picture paper and copy the recipe. But look at what your favor points for from each beer Belgian favorite parts out of each recipe. You know I'm kind of put it together can personalize your own style freer preferences. CC okay what the yeast that would really like the Roma coming off this one. Like that deep chocolate you know I think I want you sustained specialty bearings as this other stout. And run on this one had a little bit of finishing top ones in classic for stop and I really liked it a maternal figure out what they're doing. For finishing up. So once you kinda. Put all of these things together again you have all your parameters that you wanna hit now we know what you're alcohol is he wanted to you know what color you want to have your terminal gravity your bitterness. Flavor Roma from your crops and poster ease our profile now you have a more clear picture of what you want upper. In a hard thing to do. Is going to be to stick to that. On Danica and it it's hard to kind of not throwing a couple of over ingredients used the yeast that you bought out of impulse you know there autonomy if you know. Style blogger. And you know because all I bought the seasonal arteries and have a news media try to stick every ingredient. Being for that style appear. Another couple buries the belt points one nipple home brew series in whether a you can buy a beer and around the neck it says it is yet. And I think that's probably what I'll do is that takes him amendment robo spore that I won makes a unit that's a perfect example where hey here's how to do it you know I'd make it there's a bunch other ones out there to com. Brokering company Natalie they give you pretty much prior recipe they don't you view I think is far it's Chris percentages. But they give you just about everything else and if you remembering the long enough you know that those like finishing gravity scholars gonna depend a little bit on your system. So I want applaud those numbers and two something anyway and adapt a recipe for your system. And it's used to give their recipes right on the bottle as well and so robberies I guess now that. A lot of competition and craft. Brewing and and I think the consumers becoming more snappy and so rumors are putting more more information about their appear on the bottle. Mean if you buy and I EPA. And I think this is something that I. For coming up by like PA's. One and with finishing cops are. You know I'm interested in nova ops I want and a one on tasting especially for op I haven't tried arm torn wanna know that before it by the beer. Burst through the putting this information ball appear. So some of those recipes my purity on about. So pickle there but corporate website first marker as much as you can. In and start putting together recipe whistle fever parts of the Pearson and also an important part is no what kind of beer is going to be. Good or bad for whatever kind of system you have for instance I don't. I've not bottled that much idled at the tag which means. In materials are probably not gonna happen I have a rule of mine. My house where if it's. Over. Getting pushed a little bit with the East Coast IP is my old are always beats 7%. Pushed it to eight point five hunt. Recently but it appears over eight point 5% has more than two counts of roasted our league has any type of have peace spice in it. Arm I don't put it on. Oh and I used to have the seven yet you clots which also. Slowly being moved up a lot why is that did you that rule because of some of the same years that I really wanna consume fractions of curing systems really nice for. Taking him out of a second theory in drinking the next day carbonated coal rate ago. On and especially with a lot of these East Coast Elson doing PA's. These are into it could fresh and they happen to be mostly around eighty I'd be used in 8% so. I'm going to be making those enemies and joining them fresh I don't want to make many batches and I don't want to model. So. He set the Canaveral but as emperor you can you can ban them nobody I mean that the were the initial rules because the tagging system just can't keep it as pressure saying yeah I can imperial stout experience. American. Obviously can impure real style it's something you might have we all wanna first Pruitt. And it's kind of sitting there. Aging I'll start trying won every couple of nights I'll try to hold off for weaker to and they don't want and all that infrastructure. That easy access you know quick turn over infrastructure checking system. Tied up by a beer than trying to Ager feel like it really Neitzel put more time. Now offering impulse Peru's imperial stout now you know going into spring and summer. I Bobble. It's going to be phenomenal come fall winter. Okay and I'll really proud of paper effect on the tagging system could be trying to force myself through this and at the keg in June when it seem all. Hoping 85 degrees out and you know Sonny and I would much Trevor have it's no bells in the L war two ankles aren't out. And all a lot of people do have your own large users filled with twelve caps are more. But I don't. Two tipped bunker and I can keep from circular otherwise and a bottling and they don't like to. So all so proper review we know what we want to brew we have been radiance in front of us. In now or deciding how much this is really where you have remembering for awhile a recipe calculator. Comes in here and he. Use one that you trust. Try to used to seeing one over and over again because you can start back filling information and on and in cute little bit more accurate results. So I really like jumpers from a lot of people the shop like pearl man software. And there's a bunch other really popular ones out there try Koppel. Find out which one you like the best in the released are trying to fine tuned I'll use that. You'll find out the media at least you're perceived bitterness might be a little bit often calculations that it's using it using ranger something like that you might know that you need to up your cropping. Compared to what it's gonna tell you. You mowing no cure all method fermentation and control a little bit higher attenuation of the scene yeast then what it's protecting your kid at that temperature. So he went one up those attenuation some more you can dude back input and those programs. The more. You know consistency you're gonna get when you group. And the other thing I really like to do is look at the BJ CP pipelines once before I make my final decision. And the reason I do that is if this is a really good beer I want to entry to a competition Mitterrand. All right put you know war and screw ball ingredient and there are by the dropped something that might have been classic for the style by decide to enter it. I notes and do well. Soul always take one last look at the BJ CPI and kind of before. You start. Currency by 121 last week to the recipe and then here's the biggest thing. Go back to me that your and take good notes on the recipe about how the beer taste power turned out what problems he had during brewing. And if you really want good recipes. You're gonna have to produce steam beer for five times. Armed. You're asking me for sale or did you get this bureau DG your flagship right on the right trying capsule. On and you look at a lot of recent practice of making a bad time for from a system. And dumping it. Because the northern rock and hit the steps they wanna find out what their. You know mansion house efficiency is wanna know what they're gonna Gifford and UH another easy one and what are you for Saudi bill occur props. Allman saloon to you mean recipe once and your system you don't know what you're gonna get and so if you really wanna kick good recipes. Take notes make more than once. A five minutes left here wanting you might decide to make his Barley wine we may all trillion that's with five minutes should rarely audience on the aisle join if you got a whole show this against him for next week. And I think we we we can get into a little bit here because rebuke beef cheese enough vomit that we really need to get into it so let's talk about what last week. Our early lines the ultimate appear not to put on ten of Barley wines come from ingress rumors and we really didn't see them. Being called Marley whines until the 1872 when they asked me their number one to beat 8%. Dark beard and called up early problem Barley wine relieved because. They were competing with French. And wine growers since it's kind of more sophisticated. Averaged. And so when they may peace be strong ails the the mean BP early days for cast age. They were saying this is something. That requires law more picture requires a little more Asian Lamar ministries and get it. Where exposed to be you know something's meant to be stepped in and joy it. On global leader you saw attending come out with a goal of Barley wine are similar to what we seen the American style now but these were biggest. The biggest years. That you could find. In the root them. Re using what's called the party system. Arms have you been re all green heard about this especially if you drew. Figures to be like me hopefully he's been telling you that you need to be doing its effort to catch because we have a three fight deal and that appears to Olsen in the national. When you pull off a bureaucracy at the pre boil gravity of 7080 points. The sparks it's coming off after that may be 3345. Point two graphic. On and so what the English for a would do is they would take a first run ins and usually. Take a little bit and last but higher gravity. Then what they would need. For starting boil graphics are what I usually do. Is I tried this barge to what I want mind body to be takes seven an Afghan notes usually actually a little bit high with 1618. Pounds agreement there. So what I do is they begin adding water. In till I get my pre boil graphics if it's eighty points now our net eaten an Afghan strategic alone offered the boy oh. Put that into its second pot may do another arch and that's the second running spear answer free beer coming off your big Barley wine your bigs doubt. Super pure light PA. On and so they did this to me inquiries hole more efficient in hand. I would say some of my fever appears come out of the party guy operating system you'll hit Fuller and they make almost their full line. Awful one match. They actually go back and he had roasted malts to try to get the later pierce appeal that dark and dismal open more gravity. On the par early one insecure security data they forgotten all they're still alive and while they're just not an every day beer I think of some of my favorite examples and so that the tenant. A lot of good clone recipes port flying eyes and has her. That's a great one to try. In the mother wants a few around all the time Alex here about a big foot great divide old rough and off but it early wind it's obviously appears it's neat to be. Age again not want to put on tap but that second running spear that some want to put on him on personally I usually do. The first batch of three gallon so might mean for drawings will be three you know best. Many meet fife he'll patched. For the second. So I'll have mine like American style Barley wine three gallons to bottle full for case HO very nicely maybe dual but okay aging and a throwback to the English breweries. And then five gallons of usually an American pale well. And you can even given. I PA if you don't mind having low departure malt extract of the social second run things but yet you have five you don't really great free beer. On the second just dead east. I just like that her big foot and old broth Ian the other it's not a matter into these. Are not naming names. Flower panel who are here. Barley one's gonna have some parents in it. It's a beer can take the abuse of any seller if you have a Barley wine in your outrage drink it. That's fine. Put it away to favor the age like lines obviously in the name. Arm and you're looking for something when you have a full draft system excellent you have every keg filled. Looking for something to groupies just one vehicle for punishment and do some bottling. Go for par and you can still get a keg beer off the back. All right. Did you get everything you needed a parliament we have do another show or on time here they'll do definitely in and I don't I don't know limit you when you know did you in this small box on parlance here.

|Cristina singing her heart out
Photo: Alex Beetham
It was a shock to everyone -- so abrupt. So unexpected. It was a dream she never woke up from.
I knew Cristina Taborda mostly from skateboarding, but I had also begun to quietly follow her artistic career.
|Cristina's Sensory Inn -- 'Precious, fragile & powerful'
I remember speaking to Cristina at a holiday party, the year before she left us. I asked where I could get her music. She flashed that gorgeous smile of hers, and laughed.
"How sweet of you to ask!" she said. Then she gave me a hug.
She was beginning to perform regularly in numerous venues around town. She had an expressive voice, an infectious exuberance, and a restive talent. Who among us wasn't secretly in love with her, a little?
|Anima Fado. L to R: Larry Lewis,
Cristina Taborda, Nuno Cristo
To my disappointment one day, I discovered that CBC Radio had changed their online archives -- the concert was no longer available for streaming. The memento of her voice was silenced.
So I wrote to them, and asked if it was possible to get a copy.
Months passed, without any response. I assumed I would never hear back. My note was lost in the ether. But then amazingly, about a year after I wrote in, someone found and replied to my message.
(I don't want to get anyone in trouble, so I won't name names. I sincerely thank them for their help.)
It took some patience, but recently I finally managed to obtain this pair of audio recordings of Cristina, singing for Anima Fado on May 19, 2010, at the Lula Lounge.
I invite you to listen -- carefully.
LINK: Cristina Taborda with Anima Fado, set 1
The songs -- in particular their thematic content -- have acquired a wistful poignancy, now that she is departed.
"Fado is songs of destiny from the narrow cobbled streets of urban Portugal. The mysterious song of Lisbon, Fado is not only music and poetry but life itself."
-Anima FadoHere's the second set:
LINK: Cristina Taborda with Anima Fado, set 2
[The video photographs are not from the concert that evening; they are lifted from Cristina's Facebook page...]
There is a complex word associated with fado, saudade, that is briefly discussed near the end of the second set (~15:53). Subtleties and nuance often get lost in translation, but saudade nevertheless seems to capture how many of us feel about the loss of such a bright, vibrant talent.
The days pass by, ever onwards. Though our memory fades, and the light dwindles in the distance, still there remains a place in our hearts where she touched us; still do we long to see that smile once more.
You are missed, Cristina.
Please enjoy, and share!

Myths and Misconceptions About Sleep
Myths and Misconceptions About Sleep
When it comes to sleep, there are a lot of beliefs and misconceptions that people have whether it's about falling asleep, staying asleep, waking up and just sleep in general. Some of these beliefs may be relatively harmless but there are some misunderstandings about sleep that can have serious complications if repeatedly done or not done. There are some misconceptions that don't provide any help in relieving sleep deprivation which can lead to health problems. What are these common misconceptions? Here are just a few of the myths and misunderstandings that most people have regarding sleep.
Myth #1: Taking a Drink at Night will Help me Get to Sleep
While alcohol does make you a bit drowsy with a couple of drinks, by no mean is it a solution to help you get enough sleep. What happens is if you drink a shot of vodka or a bottle of beer before dozing off, you're sleeping patterns will be disrupted. You might end up being awakened in the middle of the night or the wee hours of the morning. Worse, by the time you wake up from your seemingly peaceful slumber in the morning, you'll feel like you didn't get a wink of sleep at all. There is a type of sleep that is called restorative sleep which allows your body and your mind to rest at an optimum level. But that level of sleep can never be achieved with alcohol.
Myth #2: Exercise will Help me Tire Out and Get to Sleep
While it is good for you to exercise if you want to get some sleep, exercising during the late hours isn't advisable. What happens during exercise is that the body's hormones rise, like epinephrine and norepinephrine, to support the bodily functions involved in exercise. While you will indeed feel tired out after a workout session, you may be unable to fall asleep immediately because these hormones still heighten your senses. What you can do is time your exercise session properly like in the afternoon so that you can feel tired by the time night comes and you'll be able to get to sleep later in the evening once your hormone levels return to their normal levels.
Myth #3: Tiring my Eyes will Help me Sleep
While activities like watching television or reading a book can be helpful in getting you to sleep, it is sometimes not advisable. This is because these activities may be stimulating for you and trigger you to keep being awake instead. Furthermore, these activities aren't also advised at night since they have a tendency to damage your eyesight which isn't very healthy for you. Similar to exercise, doing these activities in the afternoon or the early evening can help a lot in getting you to sleep. It isn't advisable to watch TV or read a book late at night, especially in the dark since there is a high risk in damaging one's eyesight.
Myth #4: There's no Harm in Using Sleeping Pills
This is a huge misconception that a lot of people have which entails dangerous effects on one's health. While sleeping pills are still widely available in a number of pharmacies, they aren't really meant for helping you get to sleep. These sleeping pills are also called opioid analgesics which are actually meant for patients about to undergo a surgery. The purpose of these drugs is to provide a pre-analgesic stage which supports the main anesthetic agent that is later going to be used right before surgery. By no means are they really meant to help relieve insomnia. This is easily shown as how patients who underwent surgery and received analgesics to prevent or minimize pain during and after surgery never wake up comfortably or it seems like they're still quite tired even after sleeping for six to eight hours straight. It should also be noted that these sleeping pills are still filtered out by the liver, causing liver damage if taken too much. This can lead to life-threatening signs and symptoms like loss of consciousness, abnormal respiratory rate and rhythm, abnormal heart rate and rhythm, a drop in blood pressure and more. A good example of this is how a lot of people have attempted suicide by using sleeping pills.
Myth #5: My Body can Learn to Sleep Less
Allowing your body to learn or conditioning your body to sleep lesser than what you're used to may be possible but it isn't a healthy thing to do. Our body needs a set number of hours so that it can recover. If it does not get the rest that it needs, the several body systems falter and decrease in their function. If you condition your body to get less sleep that it needs, it can have repercussions on your body in its physiological aspect. While you feel that you get enough sleep with going for just about four or five hours a day, your body may feel otherwise. Even if you feel well-rested, you may experience signs and symptoms like listlessness, decreased concentration, daytime sleepiness, nausea and more.
Myth #6: There's No Harm in Taking a Few More Caffeine
Caffeine in itself is a big no-no if you want to get a good night's sleep. However, there are some who believe that getting one more cup of coffee can help you get to sleep more quickly. Another popular belief among people is that eating a small amount of chocolate just before going to bed can help in an easier time to fall asleep. The problem with these is caffeine is a stimulant which is both found in chocolate and coffee. Add to that the sugar content in both which increases the glucose levels in our blood, therefore adding more energy for our body. If you take a hefty amount of both of these compounds, chances are you'll be wide awake at night. But it isn't the end when it comes to caffeine and chocolate. You can still consume them but plan it out hours before going to sleep.
Most Rewarding Hobbies
Most Rewarding Hobbies
Taking up a hobby is a good way to pass the time. While that is true, what most people overlook is that hobbies actually are more than that. They're an outlet wherein we can release some stress in a healthy manner. We can achieve a sense of relaxation by doing them and we can develop different sets of skills with continuous practice. But what are the most rewarding hobbies that you can take? Here are just a few examples.
If literature is your passion, then writing might just be the perfect hobby for you. Ever wanted to write that novel you've been thinking of writing since high school? Ever wanted to make a world of your own in the form of words and paragraphs? Writing is also a potential money earner for you as there are a lot of sites online that pay for freelance writers. It's also a way of expressing yourself through artistic literature and you develop your talent in language as well.
Playing instruments is one of the best hobbies to take up. This is because it's a healthy way of letting out stress while also producing beautiful music in the process. Playing the guitar, piano, flute or any kind of instrument brings an enlightening feeling for both the musician and the audience. Looking at someone playing an instrument makes you want to play as well.
Take a camera and go out into the world to capture the most pristine moments that you come across everyday. Photography is one of the most popular hobbies today that taken up by both the young and the old. It's a newfound field of art that captures the present compared to the usual painting, drawing or sketching. Professional photography is another way of earning cash as well.
If the kitchen is your type of playing field, developing your skills in cooking is also an excellent hobby. You explore different techniques in cooking up dishes and experimenting on the various ingredients that you come across. Not only that but you also develop your taste, eventually allowing you to sharpen it to the point that you can tell what's lacking in a food, if it's too much salt or what you can put to make it taste even better.
Art and Crafting
Painting, drawing, sketching and just anything artistic is a great way to pass the time and also do something productive. You're releasing stress in one of the most efficient manner since you're producing a work that you can display and be appreciated by other people as well. Making crafts is a good way of developing your fine motor skills and creativity, that's why arts and crafts is one of the subjects taught to children at an early age.
One of the most endearing and heart-warming hobbies is taking care of pets. It teaches you responsibility of taking care of an animal as it's easier said than done. It also gives you one of the best rewards that you can ask for – friendship. Click here for more……
Missing Roof Shingles?
Missing Roof Shingles?
In the general structure of almost every type of housing unit in the world, it's safe to assume that the roof is the most vulnerable structure of your home as it is the most exposed part of the house and takes the brunt of the punishment that Mother Nature incurs from time to time. May it be the heat or the cold, the rain or the sun, the snow or the hail, your roof is the one responsible in shielding your home and protecting your from all these things. But when it gets damaged to an extent, some of its parts may be removed. One of these parts is the roofing shingles that serve as the layer to the roof. This is usually the case during strong winds when the shingles just loosen their grip and then fly off. But what happens when roofing shingles are missing from the roof? Here are some facts.
Weakens the Structure of Your Roof
The layer of roofing shingles provides a durable protective shield for your roof. Once they're missing or removed, the overall structure of your roof is weakened significantly that it can lead to additional damage if things like rain, heat or hailstorms happen. The layer beneath the roofing shingles can easily be damaged, making way for additional repair costs on your part.
Exposes Your Roof to the Elements
Roofing shingles provide a protective layer which encapsulates your roof. Without them, your roof is left exposed to the elements like rain, sleet and snow which can deal more damage now than when the roofing shingles were still adequately intact on your roof. Though at times there are only portions of your roof where the shingles are missing, these are usually the parts where damage is expected to happen because protection is now robbed from your roof.
Make Your Home Prone to Leaking
Since one of the roles that roofing shingles provide for your home is protection, having them missing lets water seep through the pores of your roof. Even the tiniest openings or gaps can lead to leaks inside your house and they are not pleasant.
Lowers Overall Value of Your House
If you're on the side that has the desire or even just the thought of selling your house someday, having patches of missing roofing shingles isn't a good sign. Generally, it lowers the property value of your home and just the mere sight of it isn't really attractive for anyone looking to buy a house. It's very unpleasant to look at and it shows a lot of things about you and your house. It can mean that you, as a homeowner, don't take the responsibility of maintaining your home or how the house is made from low quality materials. Load more……
Completing a Home Improvement Project
Completing a Home Improvement Project
Conducting your very own home improvement project is a rewarding experience where you can gain valuable knowledge and skills in taking care of your home. It's also a fun experience that you can share with your family and friends. Doing it yourself also lets you save money for a great deal. Here are just some tips in finishing your own home improvement project.
New Coat of Paint
You'd be surprised at what paint can do. Applying a new coat of paint can give your home a refreshing new look unlike its previous appearance. If you choose to use bright colors, your home will grow with a lighting effect that will attract the attention of people. If you choose darker shades, your home brings a relaxing and serene scene instead.
Acquiring Contractors
Make sure you get trustworthy contractors if you want to procure of their services. Always ensure that they're licensed and have good reputation in their line of worth. Hiring someone who's trustworthy will give you relief knowing that your investment is in good hands once the project is finally completed.
Choose Economical
Expensive renovations aren't really very smart if they're just on a whim. Focus on more affordable home improvements that may seem simple but can last for several months to years. Spending too much on something trivial will only lead you to lose money. Make sure that the change that you make in your home is beneficial for everyone, not just you.
Compare Contractor Prices
When choosing a contractor, always get at least three different contractors since this will allow you to compare them. Compare the quality of the service that they provide, what kind of services that they can give and their reputation with their past customers should be put to your consideration when they give their price on top of everything else.

Cardiac Arrest
Cardiac Arrest
When the heart stops functioning, blood isn't delivered to the different parts of the body. This initiates a cascade of events which lead to deprivation of oxygen of the different body systems, unconsciousness, cell injury and death, compensation mechanisms initiated by the brain, cessation of breathing and ultimately, the end of life. This event is termed as cardiac arrest.
What is Cardiac Arrest?
Cardiac arrest is also termed as cardiopulmonary arrest or CP arrest and circulatory arrest. It is a state wherein there is the cessation of the normal spontaneous circulation of blood due to the heart's incapability to contract effectively, leading to a myriad of reactions that occur in a matter of seconds. Contrary to popular belief, cardiac arrest is different from a heart attack but it can be a cause.
In cardiac arrest, since blood doesn't circulate to the body, this leads to the deprivation of oxygen and glucose to the tissues. When there's inadequate amount of oxygen and glucose, both of which are needed by the brain to function, this leads to loss of consciousness then leads to abnormal or even absence of respiration. Brain injury is expected when there's deprivation of oxygen and glucose for more than 5 minutes. Longer than that, brain death or severe brain injury is to be expected.
Cardiac arrest is considered as a medical emergency wherein prompt intervention is needed. If left unanswered, it can likely lead to death or irreversible neurological and/or organ damage if a person is saved – death can occur in minutes and that small time limit is utilized by healthcare professionals to deliver interventions to save lives. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation or CPR and defibrillation are essential interventions in treating cardiac arrest and saving lives of patients.
Medical practitioners classify cardiac arrest into two types – shockable and non-shockable. This is determined by observing their ECG (electrocardiogram) rhythms to determine whether or not the cardiac dysrhythmia can be treated by delivering shock or defibrillation. The shockable rhythms are ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia. The non-shockable rhythms are pulseless electrical activity and asystole (flatline).
What are the Signs of Cardiac Arrest?
Cardiac arrest is characterized by the abrupt halt in the heart's contraction, leading to cessation in the blood circulation and leads to a number of events that can damage the tissues due to lack of oxygen and glucose. Healthcare practitioners watch for cues that indicate cardiac arrest to initiate emergency treatment quickly. Here are some of the signs that indicate cardiac arrest.
● Loss of consciousness
● Absence of palpable pulse
● Cessation of breathing
How is Cardiac Arrest Managed?
Cardiac arrest is considered as a medical emergency. Swift delivery of medical intervention is done, not only to revive the patient, but also to prevent or minimize the damage that oxygen deprivation has done to the tissues. The treatment of cardiac arrest lies in three main components – CPR, defibrillation and emergency medications.
In CPR, perfusion is promoted with each pump to prevent oxygen deprivation to the tissues. Defibrillation attempts to restart the heart by delivering a set electrical discharge. Emergency medications help in compensating the functions of the heart and other organs in order to revive the patient. Read more...…
It was back in 1978 that local musician Bob Cann had the idea that he would like to start his own folk festival to help revive and preserve the traditions of Dartmoor, and in particular, the traditional music, dance, song and crafts of the area.The
first three festivals were held in the grounds of Wood Country House near South Tawton, until 1981 when it moved to its present location in the picturesque village of South Zeal, on the edge of Dartmoor.Over
the years the festival has grown making it possible to invite a high standard of folk
artist from near and far, whilst maintaining its reputation for being a friendly, traditional festival.
must go out to all the past and present members of the Dartmoor Folk Festival Association, who over the years have given their time and effort voluntarily to the fund raising
, organising and running of the festival, which will hopefully enable it to continue as it is for the next generation to enjoy.Thanks
are also due to all those people who help us in setting up the festival, by providing equipment, transport and all those one hundred and one essential items that go to make up the weekend.

I Love White. I Hate White. White. Oh no, there is a little splash of my lunch on my white. Ick, how did my white turn this color after I washed it? Where did this yellow come from?
I have had less a love affair with white and more of a torrid relationship. I say yes when I mean no and I say no when I mean yes to white. But there white was all over the fall 2014 runways in NY, taunting me and I find myself torn between a dream of a crisp white wardrobe and the more dingy reality.
So when I acquired a pair of Chanel resin cuffs for RARE vintage, one in white with black CCs and one in black with white CCs, I thought this is a wearable white, a forever white. Well, they did not stay long at RARE vintage (and no, not they did not find their way into my closet : ) although I seriously thought about it...
I loved seeing a similar cuff on this lovely girl during NYFW with red nails, red lips and, gulp, a whole lot of white... Real girl, real vintage in Chanel cuffs:
and at RARE vintage...
|Chanel black and white resin cuffs with CC logo. SOLD.
love, kisses and vintage, Juliana

About Me – Serious Foodie
Welcome to Bowl Me Over! My name is Debra and I am the owner, creator, photographer and influencer here at Bowl Me Over – you can email me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com. I live in the rich, San Joaquin Valley and send you warm greetings from sunny Fresno, California!
Let me tell you a little bit about me. I am a serious foodie – I've been known as the go-to girl in our family for years, catering weddings and anniversary parties and in the summer help cook mountains of food for our family reunions. Often times things I create end up in a bowl, hence the name Bowl Me Over! I strive for good health, but food has to be full of flavor. A calorie is a calorie, but it's more satisfying to eat when the food is delicious!
Some of my best recipes started with an empty bowl and whatever odds and ends I had in the kitchen at that moment. Don't have an avocado for the recipe you just found and no time to run to the store? Try using up those artichoke hearts that are sitting in your refrigerator! Leftover cilantro from taco night? Throw it, guess where? In a bowl, of course, tossed in with tonight's dinner salad! I'll bet you'll have people asking why your salad tastes so amazing and fresh. Not enough leftover meat and potatoes for another meal? Add that with a few veggies to some stock or broth from your pantry and you've just made a delicious dinner for tomorrow night by cleaning up the kitchen!
I enjoy giving back to the community and served as a board member at the CCHAT Center in Sacramento, CA. The CCHAT Center is an amazing school that helps profoundly deaf children learn to listen and speak. My favorite contribution was when my brother and I collaborated and launched an annual wine tasting fundraising event for the school. Of course, in addition to chairing the event, I was in charge of making sure we had FABULOUS food! With the help of generous donors and volunteers, the event continues to raise thousands of dollars to help educate deaf and hard-of-hearing kids.
Now in Fresno, I volunteer for Cake4Kids. As a volunteer, I bake and deliver custom birthday cakes for children in the foster system. We aim to raise these children's self-esteem and confidence with this seemingly simple gift on their special day. It may just be a cake, but the children we bake for know somebody took the time and effort to do something special just for them.
My blog is about food, family, travel and love. I have successes and sometimes….failures. I try to keep it real – so let's do this together! Don't ever be afraid to pop me a note or ask a question to clarify a recipe. I wouldn't be here without YOU! My email is email@example.com I answer all my emails so pop me a line, I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Advanced Search
A recent report from Forrester Research shows that early Windows 7 users are pretty happy with their decision. While the company only interviewed 40 customers (this is far more anecdotal than scientific), it found they like the new features that replace third-party products such as VPNs and encryption.
On the downside, Forrester believes that two-thirds of XP apps don't work with Windows 7. I'm not sure where they're getting this; I only had a problem with a driver for an old LaserJet 1000 printer (which Redmond Report reader Mike G. helped me fix).
I like Windows 7 a lot, but it still crashes when it goes to sleep. I hate waking up to a bunch of auto-saved docs I have to sort through. What about you? Any problems with Windows 7? Report glitches and glories at firstname.lastname@example.com.

This little scooter also featured a continuously variable transmission that wouldn't allow it to start rolling with engine speeds higher than 1,800 rpm. An optional sidecar was available, but that would have been a decidedly tortoise-like option, as the Topper attained at most a modest 7 hp. Unfortunately, Harley missed the boat on the late '50s American scooter craze, as the Topper saw limited commercial success and was only produced until 1965.

As a member of Columbus REALTORS® and the Columbus and Central Ohio Regional MLS, there are a lot of rules and policies by which you must abide. The Rules and Regulations are based upon a core set of rules provided by the National Association of REALTORS®. This is the larger body of REALTORS® nationwide. The local association, Columbus REALTORS®, must adopt and comply with most of these rules in order to receive the protection and oversight of the National Association.
The MLS Policy Violation Manual details the MLS policies created by the local MLS leadership. The MLS Committee and MLS Board of Directors have created and approved this list of policies that affect day-to-day operations and requirements of listings entered into the MLS. Local agents and brokers review change requests and policy issues that arise during the normal course of operations of the local MLS. Violations of MLS policy can incur MLS fees and fines. Some violations provide a warning prior to fine assessment. Other violations considered more severe or immediately impacting other agents receive an immediate fine without warning. The MLS fines procedure was created in 2006 as a deterrent to the addition of incorrect data or improper use of the MLS database.
Any agent who is a member of the MLS can submit a request to change or add an MLS policy. All requests submitted by an agent must first be reviewed and signed by that agent's broker. This request is then reviewed by the MLS Committee. If approved, the request is presented to the MLS Board of Directors for final approval. If approved by the MLS Board of Directors, the policy is added to the Policy Violation Manual and agents are notified of the new policy requirement. Any listings added to the MLS will be required to abide by the new policy.
There is a warning prior to receiving a fine for this violation. MLS Policy requires that the listing's status be changed to "Closed" within 72 hours.
Listing is required to be marked Closed on MLS:
Sold date is Thursday = Listing must be closed on Monday
Sold date is Friday = Listing must be closed on Monday
Sold date is Saturday = Listing must be closed on Tuesday
Sold date is Sunday = Listing must be closed on Wednesday
Sold date is Monday = Listing must be closed on Thursday
Sold date is Tuesday = Listing must be closed on Friday
Sold date is Wednesday = Listing must be closed on Monday
Actual full text of the policy:
1.02.04 – Non-Reported Closing (Solds)
Fine with Warning
Warning, $100, $200, $500
All sales closed must be entered within 72 hours from the actual closing/funding date except if the 72-hour deadline falls on weekends and federal holidays whereby the closing information is to be entered the following business day except HUD listings that are to be updated within 72 hours of either (1) Asset Manager's notice of closing or (2) the county auditor or Realist published sale information for the property.
Looking for Auction Properties?
Auction properties in MLS are included in searches for Active status properties. The Auction Y/N field makes it very easy for an agent to search for only Auction properties or even to specifically exclude auction listings from the search results. When a listing is entered in the MLS, the agent is required to make a selection in the Auction Y/N field. If Yes is selected, the Auction Date field will also be required.
Additional Auction details such as type of auction can be selected in the Additional Acceptance Conditions field.
The Auction Y/N field was added to the default Residential Quick Search in March 2018 to make it even easier to filter Residential listing as "auction" or "not auction".
If Yes is selected in the Auction Y/N field on the Quick Search screen, only properties that have been specifically been marked as "Auction: Yes" by the listing agent will appear in the search results. If "No" is selected, then auction listings will not be returned in the search results. The Auction Y/N field can also be used for Saved Searches that are attached to Subscriptions and Client Portals. This allows the agent to choose whether their client receives Auction listings as part of their News Feed or Portal matches.
The auction selections entered by the listing agent will appear on the MLS reports. The Auction and Auction Date fields will appear only on the private version of the reports.

The Great Canadian Identity Crisis: Karen Solie's 'All That Is Certain Is Night Lasts Longer Than the Day'
The South Saskatchewan River at Empress, Alberta. Photo by Emdx
My impending visit home to Canada seems to have brought on one of my bouts of Canadian identity crisis and questioning why exactly I left at all. Canadian identity crises (or simply, THE GREAT CANADIAN IDENTITY CRISIS) are quite complicated. If you are Canadian you will know what I mean, and if you aren't, you won't. But you could try looking up "western alienation" and "the two solitudes", for starters. Those are just two aspects of The Great Canadian Identity Crisis, but they will give you some clues.
Karen Solie is becoming a key Canadian poet at high speed, it seems. Her new Selected Poems, The Living Option, which has been published by Bloodaxe Books specifically for the UK/international market, has been extremely well reviewed. Writing in the London Review of Books, Michael Hofmann said: "Introducing Karen Solie, I would adapt what Joseph Brodsky said some thirty years ago of the great Les Murray: 'It would be as myopic to regard Mr Murray as an Australian poet as to call Yeats an Irishman. He is, quite simply, the one by whom the language lives.' Solie is Canadian [...] and, yes, she is the one by whom the language lives." Not bad at all. I seriously regret not seeing her at Poetry Parnassus, but maybe I'll catch her somewhere else someday.
Solie was recently interviewed for The Poetry Trust's Poetry Paper, along with other poets, about how landscapes and places affect their writing. She is from Saskatchewan and now lives in Ontario. "I've grown to love Toronto," she said. "It's a vibrant, crazy and often very warm city." However, she also lived for a time in my hometown of Victoria, BC, and said: "I had been living in Victoria, on Vancouver Island, writing my English PhD dissertation, when my resources ran out. Despite its beguiling and temperate Pacific character, Victoria requires an iron will from its residents and I did not have it." I have heard all sorts of things said about Victoria, both positive and negative (and I have said some of them myself), but this was a new one on me. I am still so intrigued by it that I sincerely I hope I can ask Solie what she meant, some day.
I have particularly enjoyed this poem of Solie's, 'All That Is Certain Is Night Lasts Longer Than the Day'.
ALL THAT IS CERTAIN IS NIGHT LASTS LONGER THAN THE DAY (Karen Solie)
As a description of changing identity over a lifetime, this poem could hardly be better. Mysteriously, I also feel as though it is about Canada. (Is that "In time you've learned that to behave badly isn't/necessarily to behave out of character"?) This is the self as place and journey, which feels very appropriate for Canadians. I read it and I think about trying to avoid regrets, which is valuable in itself. And the final lines are beautiful:
A mist not unlike it walks the morning streets, comments on
the distinction of Ottawa from Hull, Buda
from Pest, what used to be Estuary from what used to be
Empress and the ferry that once ran between them.
Ottawa is separated from Hull only by a conjunction of rivers, but Ottawa is the country's capital city, in Ontario, and Hull is part of the French-speaking province of Quebec. As for Estuary, it is a ghost town in Saskatchewan close to the tiny village of Empress, Alberta, and the two are also separated by rivers. Understanding the geographical nature of identity: this is really Canadian.

That the residents of a particular city can have a pronounced character all their own is something which has long intrigued me. And I have often suspected that key features of that character are mostly, or even entirely imperceptible to the residents themselves--they can only be properly apprehended by outsiders. This may be one reason why you are mystified by Solie's statement--but I too am intrigued by it, and wonder what exactly she meant! Another side to this mystery is how cities one has never visited before, or even thought much about, can seem instantly like home to a person arriving there for the first time. This was my happy experience with Toronto, though I have been unable to puzzle out why it should be so. I also don't know whether it was the metropolis as a physical reality, the people I found there, or the circumstances under which my stay took place which conduced to the powerful feelings I had--and have--about the place.ReplyDeleteReplies
I agree with everything you've said here! Each and every one of us has a blind spot or twenty, and they can certainly be associated with the place you've grown up in - you can just be too deep in it to see. I did ask my mum what she thought about Solie's comment, given that she was an emigrant to Canada (although she's now lived there the majority of her life) and I thought she might "get it" a bit more - but she was a bit puzzled by the comment too. She thought that perhaps it had more to do with Solie's perspective/what she was going through at the time, than Victoria itself; and this may be right. I mean, if Solie had for instance said "Victoria people are cold", I may not necessarily have agreed, but I would sort of get where she was coming from. As you can suggest, it can be so hard to unpick your reaction to a city (good or bad) from your circumstances at the time, the people involved, etc; and after all, why should you...these factors form your reality of the place. I was in Toronto for a few days at the start of this trip, for the first time in many years, and though I certainly had fun with friends, family, good restaurants, etc etc, it's not a city that makes an enormous impression on me, though overall I do like it. Then there are cities I was mysteriously beguiled by, far mor than expected, like Cairo or Bucharest; and cities I feel like I should have loved, but didn't really, like Amsterdam and Vienna. First impressions can mean a lot too. I first visited Vienna when I was seven, ate something bad and got very sick. Many years later on a second visit as an adult, I had wonderful experiences like fantastic art and the Spanish Riding School, but it's still not a city I have warm feelings for. I do wonder if feeling awfully ill the first time coloured all my impressions.Delete

Happy Valley, Secret Life of Babies, Amber – best TV on tonight
Sit back and prop your feet up for our top telly picks tonight Tuesday 3 June
Tourism to the Dorset coast spiked in the aftermath of Broadchurch, but somehow I can't see Happy Valley doing the same for West Yorkshire. However lovely the area looks, the events we've seen unfold in Sally Wainwright's fictionalised Hebden Bridge – drugs, murder, rape, kidnap – would make any visitor think twice.
They've also made for one of the most emotionally gut-wrenching contemporary dramas BBC1 has shown. We've been riveted by the ordeals of police sergeant and grandmother Catherine Cawood, a wise and capable woman in a town full of nasty, clueless men. What a performance Sarah Lancashire has given – working with some of the best dialogue you'll hear on TV.
Every minor character bursts with complicated, convincing life, but as the finale opens, many have reached rock-bottom. Catherine has to keep to her word and tell Nevison about the rape. Ashley is out on bail – and looks like a hunted animal. And if you've been wondering all along why Catherine is estranged from her grown-up son Daniel, we find out. But more important than all this: where is Tommy Lee Royce?
Secret Life of Babies – 9pm, ITV
The first two years of our life are critical in terms of our development. We grow to half our full height; we learn to walk, communicate, differentiate colours, understand danger; and we develop a sense of self. Yet we remember none of it.
Some of the snippets of scientific information in this film are fairly well-known facts but there are some jaw-dropping ones lobbed in there, too. Such as that babies don't have kneecaps when they are born; and that they have a natural aversion to green plants but are not scared of ferocious animals.
Perhaps alarmingly for new parents with a tendency to swear we learn that they understand three times as many words as they can say. All this is accompanied by shot after shot after shot of gorgeous little babies crawling about and looking unbelievably cute.
Fourteen-year-old Amber is dropped off by her dad near a friend's house in the suburbs of Dublin. Except she never turns up there. She just disappears.
However, this small-budget Irish drama series is not yet another police procedural. Instead it's a story of grief, loss and damage that explores the anguish felt by her recently separated parents Sarah and Ben as the days turn into weeks and then months. It uses the neat dramatic device of having each of the four episodes follow events chronologically as seen mainly from the perspective of one of the people involved, starting with Sarah; Waking the Dead's Eva Birthistle gives an exceptionally harrowing performance as Amber's mother.

Since the Paris marathon in April a lot has happened in my running world, but there hasn't been a great deal of running worth writing about. I have been involved in running in other ways – meeting my coach, Nick Anderson, and starting preparing for the Florence Marathon in November. I've been reading lots of great running books, some entertaining and others more factual. Learning about coaching thanks to meeting Bud Baldaro. Writing for Ransacker and reviewing some shoes for the site. But running… well there were a couple of 10Ks, then I came fourth in the Urban Trail de Luxembourg and then there was the disappointment of 23rd place in 1:20 at the Southend Half Marathon, but really in the space of eight weeks, that wasn't very impressive.
However there was something coming up that I was really excited about. A new challenge that I was sure would test me in new ways – the Swiss Alpine Marathon in Davos.
As mentioned earlier, I had run the Urban Trail de Luxembourg in May and done rather well. Before that I had run in an off-road half marathon in Portland. So I thought I had some idea of what was in store for me in Davos. Well, the short answer to that is; that I didn't have a clue!
Julie and I had been in Switzerland for 3 weeks by the time we lined up for the Davos marathon. We had been to her sister's wedding and then embarked on a 10 day hike called the Tour de Cervin. At the end of that we had met up with a guide and spent 3 days in the mountains attempting a couple of summits – the Mont Blanc de Cheillon and the Pigne d'Arolla for those interested. On the plus side we had been walking for at least eight hours a day (excluding a couple of rest days) and we had been at altitude, so we were confident that this would have been good preparation for the race. On the down side I had wrecked my feet in hard mountaineering boots and I hadn't actually run a step for 12 days. Which way would the scales tip?
In reality I don't know if the race was a success or not. Within 5km of the start I was walking – the hill was so steep that I had no choice (although it is worth noting that everyone around me was walking too). I seemed to spend a huge amount of the first half of the course – the up-hill bit basically – walking and trying desperately to get enough air into my lungs. Even when I felt that I was merely slowly staggering my heart-rate was up in the 170s. There were moments when the switch-back that climbed heavenwards would flatten out and, as if on a long rope, the whole line of runners would break into a trot. But this was not racing as I knew it.
Then came the downhill. I thought that the climb had been tough. We had climbed almost 2000m from the start, from blazing sunshine right up to the snow line. Now we had to get down…
The decent was murder. Bounding (or should that be crashing) from one rock to another creates such huge internal shocks that within minutes I had a stitch that I thought could be terminal. My quads screamed for mercy. After three hours my calves started cramping. I was thirsty and hungry. The compeeds I had applied to the blisters I had been cultivating for the proceeding three weeks had melted away in the furnace like conditions inside my ASICS Trebuco and the rubbing had started again. The desire to stop was immense.
However this was what I had wanted all along – a really big challenge. The question "can I do this?" hung in the air until the last kilometer. The views along the entire course were spectacular. The trail was like nothing I had run on before. The support, even at the very top of the passes we crossed was phenomenal. The helicopters buzzing above the runners added a massive air of excitement to the event. And I have never experienced camaraderie between competitors like it before.
I finished in 4:37:44, 95th out of 775. I sat on the warm grass under the bright blue sky in the finish area with a medal around my neck and a glass of alcohol free beer. I felt absolutely fantastic. And I knew for absolute certain that I will be back for many more races in the mountains… so Sierre-Zinal 2011, anyone?

Design and Production of Dental Prosthetic Restorations: Basic Research on Dental CAD/CAM Technology
Ralph Luthardt/Anke Weber/Heike Rudolph/Christine Sch�ne/Sebastian Quaas/Michael Walter
Dental prosthetic restorations (crowns and FPDs) are currently produced mainly by conventional dental technology methods. The automation of the production process can be achieved by the use of CAD/CAM techniques. In addition, it has become possible to use materials that previously could not be processed for technical reasons or could not be processed economically, especially high-performance ceramics. Although CAD/CAM methods for producing fixed restorations are of increasing interest, little information has been published about their mode of operation and functionality. To date, studies have focused mostly on special systems. However, basic studies are lacking. Basic research on the most important aspects of CAD/CAM fixed dental restorations from the viewpoint of production, information technology, and dentistry/dental technology are the subject of a current research project. The aim of this study is the presentation of preliminary results. The CAD/CAM process for fixed restorations was analyzed and broken down into single steps. In order to examine the influence of the single steps in the process chain, a computer test model with the teeth of the maxilla and mandible in static occlusion was developed and reverse engineered. While producing the test model, fundamental knowledge regarding the manufacturing of dental restorations with functional occlusal surfaces was gained. The intersection of the maxillary and mandibular occlusal surfaces allows the quantitative analysis of occlusal contacts analogous to the conventional technique. Furthermore, a quantitative assessment of the size of the occlusal contacts and the measurement of intersection is possible.

Andrey Lamov and Tove Alexandersson conquered the first individual titles of the World Ski Orienteering Championships WSOC 2015. They are, for the best reasons, the two major figures of the Championships so far.
Sharing the individual titles of the recent European Ski Orienteering Championships, they were the great entertainers of the final Sprint held the early afternoon today, in Budor, Norway. We speak about the Russian Andrey Lamov, the Bulgarian Stanimir Belomazhev and the Swedish Erik Rost, the three athletes who, in this order, occupied the podium in the Men Elite class. After the gold medal won yesterday in the Mixed Sprint Relay, in partnership with Iuliia Tarasenko, the Russian Andrey Lamov returned to show up at the highest level, getting to overcome all his opponents. Lamov was the fastest with a time of 16:04, leaving behind him, with the difference of four thin seconds, the European Champion of Sprint in title, Stanimir Belomazhev. Rost finished third with 15 seconds more than the winner. Great figure of the 2013 World Championships, in Kazakhstan - where he won the world titles in Sprint, Middle Distance and Long Distance - the Swedish Peter Arnesson would finish fourth, ex-aequo with the Russian Eduard Khrennikov.
Leader of the IOF's World Ranking, the Swedish Tove Alexandersson was absolutely devastating, snatching the third world title of Sprint in a row and doing it with the biggest advantage ever in the history of the Championships in this distance, since it was introduced in 2002 (Borovetz, Bulgaria). Alexandersson fulfilled her course in 13:51, defeating the Norwegian Audhild Bakken Rognstad, by the significant margin of 48 seconds. The Swedish Josefine Engstrom finished in the third position, with more 53 seconds than Alexandersson. European Champion of Sprint currently, the Russian Iuliia Tarasenko was "out" of this final, finishing in the 19th place (!) at 4:57 of the winner.
In the World Junior Championships, held in parallel with the WSOC 2015, victories for the Russian Vladislav Kiselev and the Norwegian Anine Ahlsand (Norway). Moreover, the Norwegian junior girls played a very high trump card in the first day of the JWSOC 2015 by completing the podium altogether. The same happened with the Russian female team in the European Youth Championships, that engross the three places of the podium, with Anna Petrova to get the highest step. In the M17 class, the victory went to the Swedish Henning Sjökvist.
Men Elite class
1. Andrey Lamov (Russia) 16:04
2. Stanimir Belomazhev (Bulgaria) 16:08 (+ 00:04)
3. Erik Rost (Sweden) 16:19 (+ 00:15)
4. Peter Arnesson (Sweden) 16:31 (+ 00:27)
4. Eduard Khrennikov (Russia) 16:31 (+ 00:27)
6. Andreas Holmberg (Sweden) 16:44 (+ 00:40)
Women Elite class
1. Tove Alexandersson (Sweden) 13:51
2. Audhild Bakken Rognstad (Norway) 14:39 (+ 00:48)

Some Thoughts on Free Will and St John Cassian
"God made man upright, but they have sought out many schemes." Eccl. 7:29, NKJV.
The word tranlated "schemes" in the Septuagint version is logismous, and may be translated variously as thoughts, reasonings, reckonings, judgments, decisions, imaginations, questions, inventions, or devices. This implies a free will on the part of man and, moreso, implies that man was created in the image and for the likeness of God, but through his own devices chooses to rebel against his own upright and God-like qualities.
St John Cassian (360-435), sometimes called Cassian the Roman, was a deacon who spent a lot of time in monastic communities in Bethlehem and Egypt. He is known for his writings the Intstitutes and Conferences. The latter may be considered somewhat controversial since they are supposedly critical of St Augustine of Hippo. These criticisms have prompted many in the West to label him semi-Pelagian. However, a thorough reading of his works should reveal that if he was semi anything, he was semi-Augustinian, having more in common with him than with Pelagius.
In the 13th Conference, Chapter XII, he wrote:
For we should not hold that God made man such that he can never will or be capable of what is good: or else He has not granted him a free will, if He has suffered him only to will or be capable of evil, but neither to will or be capable of what is good of himself. And, in this case how will that first statement of the Lord made about men after the fall stand: "Behold, Adam is become as one of us, knowing good and evil?" Gen. 3:22. For we cannot think that before, he was such as to be altogether ignorant of good. Otherwise we should have to admit that he was formed like some irrational and insensate beast: which is sufficiently absurd and altogether alien from the Catholic faith. . . . Adam therefore after the fall conceived a knowledge of evil which he had not previously, but did not lose the knowledge of good which he had before. Finally the Apostle's words very clearly show that mankind did not lose after the fall of Adam the knowledge of good: as he says: "For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things of the law, these, though they have not the law, are a law to themselves, as they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness to these, and their thoughts within them either accusing or else excusing them, in the day in which God shall judge the secrets of men." Rom. 2:14-16.
