The Global Social Network
Pakistan is the third biggest source of foreign doctors who make up a third of all practicing physicians in the United States, according to OECD. Vast majority of Muslim doctors in America are of Pakistani origin.
Foreign Doctors in America:
About 30% of the 800,000 doctors, or about 240,000 doctors, currently practicing in America are of foreign origin, according to Catholic Health Association of the United States. Predictions vary, but according to the American Association of Medical Colleges, by 2025 the U.S. will be short about 160,000 physicians. This gap will most likely be filled by more foreign doctors.
Pakistani Doctors in United States:
As of 2013, there are over 12,000 Pakistani doctors, or about 5% of all foreign physicians and surgeons, in practice in the United States. Pakistan is the third largest source of foreign-trained doctors. India tops with 22%, or 52,800 doctors. It is followed by the Philippines with 6%, or 14,400 foreign-trained doctors. India and Pakistan also rank as the top two sources of foreign doctors in the United Kingdom.
Dow University of Health Sciences, Karachi, Pakistan
Dow Medical University of Health Sciences:
There are 3,100 graduates of Karachi's Dow University of Health Sciences, contributing the largest pool of doctors among the 12,000 Pakistani doctors in the United States. About 1,900 are from Lahore's King Edward Medical College and the rest from Karachi's Agha Khan University, Lahore's Allama Iqbal Medical College and other medical colleges in Pakistan, according to Dr. Humayun Chaudhry, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Federation of State Medical Boards in the United States.
Doctor Shortages:
India has six doctors for 10,000 people and Pakistan has eight. The comparable figure for the United States is 25 doctors per 10,000. And yet, the United States continues to import thousands of doctors from these two South Asian nations. Predictions vary, but according to the American Association of Medical Colleges, by 2025 the U.S. will be short about 160,000 physicians. This shortfall will most likely be filled by foreign doctors from countries like India and Pakistan.
Pakistani doctors make up the third largest source of practicing physicians and surgeons in the United States. And more are coming to make up the continuing shortages in spite of the fact that Pakistan has only eight doctors per 10,000 people, only a third of the 25 doctors per 10,000 in the United States. Will this change after President-elect Donald Trump takes office on January 20, 2017? Only time will tell.

The US Distribution of Physicians from Lower Income Countries
E. Fuller Torrey1,* and Barbara Boyle Torrey2
The origin and distribution of the IMGs from lower income countries are both concentrated; 85 percent of them come from just 8 countries, and 67 percent of all IMGs are living in just 10 states (see Table S1). Forty-one percent of all IMGs from lower income countries come from India, and 22 percent of them are practicing in New York and California. The Philippines is the second largest provider of physicians from lower income countries (16 percent), and they are also practicing in disproportionate numbers in New York and California. Physicians trained in Pakistan, the third most important country of origin of IMGs in the United States (10 percent), practice disproportionately in Texas, New York, and Illinois.
#Pakistan to build first #nursing university named after #Bahrain's King Hamad, affiliated with RCS of #Ireland
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Friday performed the groundbreaking of the country's first nursing university.
"The Bahrain funded state-of-the-art King Hamad University of Nursing and Associated Medical Sciences will help the country's health sector prosper," PM Nawaz said while addressing the groundbreaking ceremony. The university, being built in Chak Shehzad, is a gift from Bahrain and will be affiliated with Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland.
Addressing the event, the prime minister said in view of the dearth of trained nursing and training staff in the country, the noble project by Bahrain would help fill gap in healthcare sector.

PM Nawaz further said the university will raise the level of standard of health and will be significant in bringing quality nursing care in the country.
The prime minister stressed that health is one of the top priorities of the government. "The government aims to provide integrated healthcare spanning over the entire health spectrum from primary to tertiary care," the premier said. He added that the "programme is unprecedented in terms of its magnitude and is being implemented in a phased manner and would provide coverage to 100 million people eventually. Work in this regard is being undertaken expeditiously."
The ceremony also saw the announcement of construction for another 50 state-of-the-art hospitals throughout the country.

The premeir said the government is focused on preventative measures and pointed out that the national immunisation programme provides free of cost vaccines to every Pakistani mother and child. "There has been significant improvement in the coverage of the programme and concrete steps are being taken to arrest the spread of polio," he said.
PM Nawaz thanked the government of Bahrain, especially King Hamad for his generousity in offering support for the establishment of the university, saying "the university symbolises strong bonds of brotherhood and friendship between the two countries."
"This is reflective of leadership of Bahrain's love for the people of Pakistan and its commitment to help improve the quality of life of our people," he added.
Karachi to gain its own cancer hospital by Dec 2019
KARACHI: The groundbreaking ceremony of the third Shaukat Khanum Cancer Hospital in the country was performed by a 10-year-old cancer patient, Waleed Iqbal. Together with Shaukat Khanum Memorial Trust (SKMT) board of governors chairperson Imran Khan, Waleed unveiled the groundbreaking plaque on Thursday.
Waleed and many other cancer patients from Sindh and Balochistan previously had to travel to Lahore for cancer treatment but now patients will not have to bear expense of accommodation and travelling with the establishment of a cancer hospital in Karachi.
The ceremony, which was held at the site of the hospital in Defence Housing Authority (DHA) City near the Superhighway, was attended by board members of the SKMT, the hospital's senior management, dignitaries, donors and celebrities.
The hospital will be built on 20 acres of land allotted by DHA, for which we are very grateful, said SKMT's chief executive officer Dr Faisal Sultan. He told participants that the total cost of constructing the hospital is Rs4.5 billion and the facility will be completed on December 29, 2019.
Dr Sultan added that the hospital will have the similar state-of-the-art facilities as are being provided at the other Shaukat Khanum hospitals in Peshawar and Lahore. This includes surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy and biological therapy facilities. The hospital will enhance and raise the healthcare standards in the region, claimed Dr Sultan.
Highlighting the details of the project, Dr Sultan said the new facility will have operating rooms, an intensive care unit, a chemo-bay facility, inpatient rooms, and outpatient clinics, initially. The hospital will have nine clinical departments – medical oncology, paediatric oncology, radiation oncology, brachy-therapy, CT simulation services, surgical oncology, anaesthesia, radiology with CT scanners, MRI scanners, X-ray machines, fluoroscopy, ultrasound machines, mammography scanners and a PET CT scanner. The pathology department will have haematology, clinical chemistry, microbiology, cytology, and a blood bank.
He added that this enormous facility would open up opportunities for oncologists, doctors, nurses and other health professionals to get training in the management, diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
Dr Sultan said around 75 to 80% of the patients at the facility are treated free of charge, while the remaining 20 to 25% of patients pay their own expenses. He also clarified that the hospital's income depends on 40 to 45% of the revenue it generates, 25% on zakat and 35% on other donations.
#UK #NHS to bring 200 doctors each from #India and #Pakistan in 2017.
Hundreds of doctors may be drafted in from India and Pakistan to plug a spiralling crisis in Accident & Emergency departments, health officials say.
The scheme will start in Greater Manchester, with 20 medics due to be flown from India this year for up to three years.
The region's eight Accident & Emergency departments have been under severe strain in recent weeks amid staffing shortages.
Officials behind the plans said the scheme, backed by Health Education England, could be expanded in respond to widespread shortages of A&E doctors across the country. The project is being run by the Greater Manchester devolution team and Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh Foundation Trust.
Andrew Foster, trust chief executive told Health Service Journal said the region's A&E departments were now "very reliant on locums."
Most of the trusts needed around 10 to 12 "middle grade" doctors, but only had two or three. "They're very reliant on locums," he said.
Such medics are junior doctors, who have finished basic training but are still learning specialist skills and have yet to qualify as a consultant.
Mr Foster, who was formerly Department of Health director of of human resources, said the plans could form part of a national recruitment exercise.
"We are talking about the possibility of getting 200 [trainees] from India and the same number from Pakistan," he said.
In November a report by the Commons health select committee warned that A&E departments need at least 8,000 doctors – 50 per cent more than the 5,300 currently employed - to keep pace with the rise in emergency admissions in the last five years.
Under the new scheme, the NHS will pay £16,000 towards the training costs for each recruit, as well as paying their salary. The middle grade doctors would be placed in emergency departments for 2-3 years while completing their training in emergency medicine, before returning to India.
Ged Byrne, director of education and quality for Health Education England in the North West, said: "This work is helping to increase the number of doctors who are available to support acutely ill patients.
"The relationship benefits both the UK as it helps to fill an immediate need and the doctors themselves who gain access to high quality training and a unique skills set."
#US Patient Mortality Lower With Foreign-Trained #Physicians from #India, #Pakistan, #Philipinnes, etc http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/875356 … via @medscape
Medicare patients admitted to the hospital and treated by internists who graduated from medical schools outside the United States had lower 30-day mortality than matched patients cared for by graduates of US schools, according to results of a study published online today in the British Medical Journal (BMJ).
To practice in the US, international medical school graduates must pass two exams on medical knowledge and one assessment of clinical skills, and complete accredited residency training here. However, medical schools outside the US are not accredited by any domestic agency. In response to concerns about quality of care from internationally trained physicians, the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates will require accreditation of medical schools outside the US by 2023.
Studies comparing the quality of care provided by internationally trained physicians with that by domestically trained physicians are few and small in scope. Yet, physicians trained outside the US may be perceived by some as not as competent as physicians who attended medical school in the US.
To compare the two, Yusuke Tsugawa, MD, MPH, PhD, from the TH Chan School of Public Health at Harvard, and colleagues conducted a large observational study of hospitalized Medicare beneficiaries to assess whether outcomes differ depending upon whether or not their general internists were trained domestically or abroad. The study excluded graduates from Central America and the Caribbean to minimize inclusion of US citizens trained outside the country. The countries that contributed the most internists to US hospitals were China, Egypt, India, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines, and Syria.
The researchers assessed 30-day mortality rate (the primary outcome), readmission rate, and costs of care (total part B spending), and whether clinical condition influences differences in patient outcomes and care costs between the two groups of patients. In addition, they adjusted their models for patient characteristics (age, sex, race or ethnic group, diagnosis, and income), physician characteristics (age, sex, and patient volume,) and hospital fixed effects (characteristics of hospitals).
Results indicated that 44.3% (19,589 of 44,227) of general internists in the US graduated from medical schools outside the country. They were slightly younger than US graduates (46.1 v 47.9 years; P < .001), and were more likely to work in medium-sized, nonteaching, for-profit hospitals without intensive care units.
In addition, their patients were more likely to be nonwhite, have Medicaid, have lower median household income, and have more chronic comorbidities (congestive heart failure [CHF], chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD], and diabetes)
The mortality analysis included 1,215,490 patients admitted to the hospital under the care of 44,227 general internists between 2011 and 2014. Patients treated by international graduates had lower mortality (adjusted mortality, 11.2% v 11.6%; adjusted odds ratio, 0.95; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.93 - 0.96; P < .001).
"Based on the risk difference of 0.4 percentage points, for every 250 patients treated by US medical graduates, one patient's life would be saved if the quality of care were equivalent between the international graduates and US graduates," the authors write.
The cost analysis included 1,276,559 patients treated by 44,680 physicians during the same study period.
Overall, patients of internationally trained internists had slightly higher adjusted costs of care per admission ($1145 v $1098; adjusted difference, $47; 95% CI, $39 - $55; P < .001).
Meanwhile, adjusted readmission rates among 1,182,268 patients who were treated by 44,201 physicians did not differ between the two patient groups.
$15 million Gift to Notre Dame Catholic University from #Pakistani-#American #Muslim Physician Couple in #Indiana
Rafat and Zoreen Ansari, medical doctors who were born in Pakistan, have spent the last four decades working and raising their three children in a suburb of South Bend, Ind., where they also have earned a reputation as civic leaders.
By their estimation, they have given at least $1 million and thousands of hours of their time to nonprofits focused on children with autism, which afflicts their youngest child, Sonya.
But a year and a half ago the couple and their children, all Muslim, began working on a larger gift in terms of money, impact and risk: Their goal was to fund something that would foster better understanding of religion, including Islam, Judaism and Christianity, with the belief that all religions should be treated with equal respect.
The family's inclination to leave a legacy is not uncommon among people who have grown wealthy. But their focus could land them in the middle of one of the most charged issues of the day.
"We came as immigrants, and this country has given us so much," Mrs. Ansari said in an interview ahead of the announcement. "We want to give something back to America, but also to humanity. We want to promote the idea of equality."
On Friday, the Ansaris announced a $15 million gift to the University of Notre Dame, one of the top Catholic universities, to create the Rafat and Zoreen Ansari Institute for Global Engagement With Religion. The institute will aim to deepen knowledge of religion and look to explain how the traditions and practice of various religions influence world events.
"Whenever you get a gift of this size, it's tremendous, but particularly to have this named for the Ansari family, who is Muslim, is tremendously meaningful to us," said the Rev. John I. Jenkins, the president of Notre Dame, in an interview. "We believe religion is very important in our world. It can have a negative impact, but it should be possible to study the ways religion can be a force for human development and peace."
Father Jenkins said the institute would look at religion not through a sociological or political lens, but through one focused on the religions themselves.
While the couple and the university said the gift, which was 18 months in the making, was not conceived as a way to make a political statement, all parties acknowledged that it came at a politically charged time, given the debate over Muslim immigration in America and Europe.
"In the last couple of years, the majority of problems have been created by the misunderstandings among the religions," said Mr. Ansari, an oncologist and hematologist. "Is this the right time for the announcement? Yes, because there is so much going on."
The Ansaris thought long and hard about how to achieve their goal. Their hometown, Granger, Ind., is just a few miles from Notre Dame. While the Ansaris were educated in Pakistan, their daughter Sarah graduated from Notre Dame Law School.
#Pakistani researcher at #UPenn: MIssing gene in some people in #Pakistan prevents heart disease. Via @dailypenn
A study led in part by Penn scientists examined the DNA of over 10,500 Pakistanis in order to guide research on treatments for heart disease.
Many drugs developed to lower heart disease have targeted a gene linked to arterial plaque, Science Magazine explained. But this study found that the absence of this gene may not greatly affect one's risk for heart disease.
Instead, the study found that the absence of a different gene — called APOC3 — might help.
Penn professor Danish Saleheen and other researchers searched Pakistan for individuals missing a functional copy of the gene. Many Pakistanis marry their first cousins, so parents more frequently pass on identical copies of a gene to their children — meaning that they're also more likely to pass on two nonfunctional copies.
People with these deficient copies of a gene are known as genetic "knockouts," Philly.com explained. Scientists can deliberately breed animals to produce knockouts, but they must survey large numbers of people to find them in humans.
The researchers found a man, woman and their nine children in Pakistan who were all APOC3 knockouts.
When they consumed a high-fat meal, study participants without functioning APOC3 genes did not experience elevated levels of plasma triglycerides, according to Penn Medicine. Higher levels of triglycerides are a biomarker of heart disease risk.
The family seemed healthy otherwise, which could suggest that missing the function of the APOC3 gene could help treat heart disease without other, harmful effects, Science Magazine noted.
Saleheen told Penn Medicine that these were the world's first APOC3 knockouts found. He's been working in Pakistan for over 10 years, amassing as many blood samples as possible, to identify different genetic knockouts — so far he's found over 1,300 — in over 70,000 participants, a figure he hopes will eventually surpass 200,000 as the work continues.
The study was led by Penn's Perelman School of Medicine, the Center For Non-Communicable Diseases in Pakistan, the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard and the University of Cambridge.
Co-senior author of the study Sekar Kathiresan told Science Magazine that he hopes this work will lead to a "Human Knockout Project," similar in caliber to the Human Genome Project, in order to aggregate data on knockouts.
Around 10 % of all physicians in the U.S. are Muslims; An example of remarkable American success story
Under unprecedented spotlight since the 2016 election campaign, American and immigrant Muslims have found a new ally in the form of a treasure trove of authentic statistics springing from research institutions, analyses and informed sources.
President Donald Trump's decision last week to seek Supreme Court's reinstatement of his federal court frozen travel ban for citizens from six Muslim majority countries provides another opportunity to showcase the role American Muslims play in wide-ranging areas.
One area, where immigrants from Muslim majority countries have contributed crucially to the United States' well-being is health care services.
For example, The Medicus Firm, a company recruiting medics, reveals that 15,000 doctors working in the U. S. came from the seven Muslim majority countries – Libya, Iraq, Iran, Somalia, Syria, Sudan, Yemen – initially included in the travel ban executive order.
Of these, 9,000 doctors emigrated to the U. S. from Iran, while 3,500 came from Syria and more than 1,500 from Iraq, which no longer is on the list of countries covered under the proposed travel ban.
Just one percent of the total population, American Muslims have contributed to the American health care sector enormously. In several rural areas and small towns Americans get health care services from immigrant medical practitioners, including Muslim doctors.
Pakistan, a large Muslim majority country, is one of the top five countries contributing medical experts including doctors to the U. S. According to a Pakistani organization, the number of Pakistani-American doctors is nearing 20,000. They work all over the United States, with many of them practicing in states which need them the most, in rural areas far away from the East and West coasts.
In fact, one of the most prominent doctors in recent world history was a Pakistani-American neurosurgeon, Dr. Ayub Ommaya, who famously invented the Ommaya reservoir, which is employed to provide chemotherapy drugs directly to the tumor site for treating brain tumors.
He has been described as one of the most important Americans ever who shaped America with their individual achievements.
According to figures cited by organization IntraHealth International, there are 656,000 doctors and surgeons working in the U. S. with 254,000 of them being immigrants.
Hospitals in #Trump country suffer as #Muslim #doctors denied visas to U.S. https://interc.pt/2x7ChDd by @MaryamSaleh_
EVERY MARCH, DOCTORS across the United States and the world eagerly await "Match Day" — the day they find out what residency, internship, or fellowship program they've been matched with. By that point, residency candidates have completed medical school and passed a series of rigorous qualifying exams. For those who are not American — about a quarter of all doctors in the U.S. are foreign-born — there's one additional step: securing a J-1 visa, a nonimmigrant exchange visa conditioned on an individual's return to their home country for at least two years at the conclusion of the program.
In the weeks following the March 17 match, dozens of Pakistani physicians had their J-1 applications denied in Islamabad and Karachi, said Shahzad Iqbal, a Pakistani-American physician in New York.
Jan Pederson has spent the last 30 years of her legal career representing foreign-born physicians coming to the U.S. for residency or fellowship programs. It's an unheralded but essential line of work, because without foreign doctors, the U.S. healthcare system would simply collapse, with the pain felt most acutely in rural areas. U.S. medical schools don't produce anywhere near enough graduates to meet the needs of the country, particularly in places where people are reluctant to move to.
Like any legal practice, Pederson's hasn't always been smooth. Every so often, a client's visa application is denied. It happens. In the years following the Sept. 11 terror attacks, doctors from countries, such as Iran and Syria, saw their applications get stuck in administrative processing until U.S. officials could affirmatively say the physicians posed no national security threat, she said.
But this spring, weeks after President Donald Trump issued a revised version of an executive order restricting immigration from six Muslim-majority countries, Pederson saw the same thing Iqbal did — what she called an "epidemic of Pakistani visa denials."
Advocates say there is no way to separate the attempted Pakistani physician ban from the so-called Muslim ban and other Trump administration immigration policies.
"I think it's a confluence of factors" that caused the visa denials, Pederson said. "It would be hard to escape the conclusion" that there is a correlation between the visa denials and the president's anti-immigration rhetoric and policies.
"This year, we had about 34 J-1 refusals that were reported to us. This is kind of a historic number," said Iqbal, who chairs the Committee on Young Physicians, which is a part of the Association of Physicians of Pakistani Descent of North America. APPNA only knows about denials that rejected applicants reported to them, so it may be just the tip of the iceberg. Many reapplied, starting from scratch, and were successful, but started their programs late.
APPNA has lobbied on behalf of Pakistani doctors hoping to train in the United States since 2003, Iqbal said. Heightened post-9/11 security measures meant that many visa applications were held up in administrative processing, but "it never happened before that there was a mass number of denials," he said. "Before, there were security clearances, and people were placed in security clearance for six months to two years."
For the last five years, APPNA received reports of, at most, one or two physicians whose visa applications were denied, and usually it was because of an issue with an applicant's immigration history.
This is concerning, Iqbal said, since Pakistan is one of the top suppliers of foreign doctors to the U.S. In 2015, 12,125 doctors of Pakistani descent were practicing medicine in the U.S., second only to India's 46,137 doctors, according to the U.S. Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
#Pakistani-#American #medical grad Dr. Faisal Cheema from #Karachi's Aga Khan University gets $4 million research grant for heart transplant #research
ISLAMABAD: A Pakistani physician/scientist Dr Faisal H Cheema was awarded $4 million to lead a cutting edge research on heart transplantation.
Dr Faisal H Cheema belongs to the rural areas of Wazirabad and Hafizabad and got his education from Crescent Model School as well as the Government College, Lahore before moving to Karachi to attend medical school at Aga Khan University.
After graduation, he moved to the United States and further trained and worked at Columbia University , Loyola University, Johns Hopkins University, University of Maryland and University of California Berkley. He is currently a faculty member at Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Heart Institute in Houston, TX.
He has served as Senator for the Ivy-League Columbia University and is involved with several professional, academic, community and philanthropic organisations. Dr Cheema's passionate and selfless work for young physicians culminated in the establishment of Committee for Young Physicians within Association of Physicians of Pakistani-descent of North America, on which he served for more than a decade that included chairing it. He has helped hundreds of students in their search for residencies and or advancing their medical careers in the US. He loves to mentor medical students and young physicians.
Ever since he left his motherland, he continues to collaborate with various institutions in Pakistan and guides students from medical schools across the country. Dr Cheema has published more than 110 scientific manuscripts in high impact journals. In due course of time, through strategic partnerships among academic, corporate, governmental and philanthropic institutions, Dr Cheema's mission is to make heart and lung transplant and artificial devices for end-stage heart failure and lung disease a reality in Pakistan.
He also aspires to develop a national organ donation and allocation system for Pakistan. Dr Cheema and his colleague Dr Jeffrey A Morgan have been awarded $4 million in funding from Brockman Medical Research Foundation to lead cutting edge research on heart transplantation.

Ex-church volunteer who admitted sex crimes against kids a high risk to reoffend, psychiatrist testifies
A former church youth volunteer, who admitted to sexually molesting and making child pornography of young boys, must take extensive counselling for such issues as social skills and sexual deviancy or he will remain a high risk to similarly reoffend, a forensic psychiatrist testified on Wednesday.
Dr. David Tano, who completed a risk assessment on Roderick Kyle Janssen for his long-term offender hearing, said the man has difficulty accepting responsibility for his actions, especially in the area of desire for having sex with young boys.
"He blames others and the environment, and even blames one victim for coming back to his house after he told him to stay away," Tano told Crown prosecutor Nadine Nesbitt. "He also blames parents for lack of affect.
"My opinion at the moment of assessment, taking into account all risk factors, is that Mr. Janssen — if nothing changes — is a high risk to reoffend."
Janssen pleaded guilty in November 2011 to 18 charges involving sexual abuse of a half-dozen boys in his church group and possession of massive amounts of disturbing child pornography: 78,841 images and 3,374 videos.

Morning sports fans,
All is right with the World after Emerging markets calmed down last night, Faceplant rallied 14% on its mobile numbers ,US GDP shot the lights out and oversold markets rebounded…shame that gold got bushwhacked on More Taper to come thoughts, shame about Googles' numbers ,shame about Amazon as well…bot very disappointing….Chinese New Year today…so Happy New Year to all my Chinese friends.
Our market yesterday was down but not out so expect some end of month window dressing in line with DJs fashion parades. The ASX200 is down 3% for the month…serious Santa hangover…2014 is going to be a year when you have to pick winners…going to be more volatile as the Fed backs out of the QEIII forever program and China continues to slow and God knows what is going to happen in Japan..we know Zombieland will continue to limp along like the night of the living dead…mass unemployment ,sporadic growth and ECB propping up the system as the UK benefits from the massive migration of funds from the Euro experiment into London!!It is also a country on its own now…if Scotland leaves the UK maybe London should think about it as well.
Here in sleepy hollow, life continues to get interesting under Abbott…happy with Chocolate doesn't like canned fruit apparently or cars….must be a fan of Joyville though…
Expect a relatively subdued rally today as whiplash continues. We are but a small vessel being tossed around on a stormy ocean at the moment….the thing that concerns me is I don't remember a time when we have had so many downgrades and disasters…yesterday we had another bunch..recently listed McAllesse collapsed, Treasury Wine had a shocker and Navitas also added to the pain…and we haven't even started reporting season…stock pickers people…it's all about where you are invested..hopefully I can steer you in the right direction again…
So today we will be up 25-30 points early but Amazon numbers likely to weigh on US sentiment a little…
Idea of the Day
While we see all these downgrades and bad trading update I believe that the one sector that does NOT surprise is starting to look more attractive…The Banks..they are now trading collectively at 168 bucks…remember my $100 bank basket back in September 2011…they did get to around 180 for the four at one stage…so although everyone in the World thinks they are fully priced I believe that if you are underweight in the banks then this current weakness is a good opportunity to top up…buy on the bad days though…
Things to make me go mmmmm!
Foxy Knoxy has been found guilty again..that's twice now..28 years this time..guess that Tuscan Villa holiday is off her agenda…
US GDP grows at 3.2%….Consumers are buying again…Facebook up nearly16%…but BHP may be happy they missed this one as Potash Corp of Saskatchewan , the world's biggest fertiliser company, reported a sharply lower quarterly profit and produced 2014 forecasts that were below Wall Street expectations.
Microsoft Corp.'s board is preparing to make Satya Nadella, the company's enterprise and cloud chief, chief executive officer and is discussing replacing Bill Gates as chairman, according to sources.And the Zuck is now worth $33bn as Facebook soars!!!
Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN), the world's largest Web retailer, reported fourth-quarter profit that trailed analysts' estimates after a surge in costs to ship gifts over the holidays.Net income more than doubled to $239 million, or 51 cents a share.
News that Foreign investment in France has fallen 73% to levels not seen since 1987..meanwhile Spain is up 37% and Germany has increased fourfold…
Woolworths' struggling home improvement division has appointed British hardware executive Matt Tyson as the new managing director. The appointment ends a six-month search for a replacement for Don Stallings, who left half way through last year.
In more local news ,seems that Shell is selling Australia by the pound as they look to exit their Petrol Stations and even their WPL stake..that will suck up some serious liquidity from the market and cause some selling in other Oil stocks to pay for it…expect some underperformance from the sector…
Must have missed the memo from ASIC that insider trading is ok for directors…the two DJs guys that allegedly bought stock just before an upgrade and during a merger proposal and against company rules are in the clear..apparently..at least for now…
News of a possible merger between Myers and DJs caught my eye. Thought it was interesting comparing it to something like Facebook..yeah I know they are a bit different but Facebook was a business that was under siege..Google, Twitter and the teens deserting them for Snapchat and Instagram…their solution was to buy their competitors and innovate…not merge with another struggling business…now if Myers or DJs really want to thrive and survive in the new retail jungle they should be investing in new business opportunities.,Online alternatives, ways to innovate rather than rely on a fashion show and Jenifer Hawkins!!Just my two cents worth..but as long as they see the future as more of the same and more stores then they will not thrive and just die a slow death.Just like the Dinosaurs…don't expect the Government to help you either with GST thresholds on overseas buys..
Treasury Wine Estates warned yesterday that pre-tax earnings for the first half of the financial year will be down as much as 43 per cent, an outcome it blamed primarily on sales in the US and the Chinese market falling short of expectations.
Last year's fatal crash of a Cootes Transport oil tanker continues to haunt trucking company McAleese, which suffered a 29 per cent drop in its share price after revealing the loss of key haulage contracts with oil and gas companies Shell and BP.
After almost two years of failed takeover proposals and repeated earnings downgrades, Billabong shareholders have approved a capital restructure they hope will secure the company's future while handing a stake of up to 42.8 per cent to two US-based vulture funds.
And finally…thanks Barry..enjoyed our radio show yesterday!!!
Two female teachers took a group of students from grades 1, 2 and 3 for a field trip to Flemington Racecourse. When it was time to take the children to the 'bathroom' it was decided that the girls would go with one teacher and the boys would go with the other.
The teacher assigned to the boys was waiting outside the men's toilet when one of the boys came out and told her that none of them could reach the urinal. Having no choice, she went inside, helped the little boys with their pants, and began hoisting them up one by one, holding on to their 'wee-wees' to direct the flow away from their clothes and shake them dry.
As she lifted one boy up, she couldn't help but notice that he was unusually well endowed. Trying not to show that she was staring at his equipment the teacher said, 'You must be in Grade 3?
'No ma'am', he replied. 'I'm riding Black Caviar in the next race, but I really appreciate your help.'

The introduction of a bi-partisan bill to the US Senate by Senators Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) that included provisions of a report of violations of Greek airspace by Turkey since 2017, s well as the lifting of an embargo on arms transfer to Cyprus underscores the level of tensions present between the US and Turkey.
The draft legislation, called "The Eastern Mediterranean Security and Energy Partnership Act of 2019" permits the US to provide support in defence matters and energy policy to the trilateral alliance between Greece, Israel and Cyprus in the Eastern Mediterranean.
The bill included a clause calling on the Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and the Pentagon to present a list of the airspace violations that Turkey has committed against Greece.
"The United States has significant national security interests in the Eastern Mediterranean, bolstered by strong and expanding relationships with Greece, Israel, and Cyprus. The cooperation in energy security among these countries in recent years has paved the way for cooperation on a broad, regional security, economic, and energy agenda," said Senator Menendez.

Luminarium: Anthology of English Literature. The Gothic Novel 1790 – 1830: Index to Motifs. Lawrence Evalyn's last piece for The Toast was 100 Actual Titles of Real Eighteenth-Century Novels.
As a graduate student of specializing in eighteenth century British literature, I get to read some pretty amazing stuff. The following is a curated selection of actual entries in the index of Ann B. Tracy's important reference text, The Gothic Novel, 1790-1830: Plot Summaries and Index to Motifs. Every English Novel Ever. 1.
God, We Used To Have Money 2. The Corporal Displayed Unspecified Moral Laxity 3. An Unsuccessful Trip To The Sea-Side 4. Heath Robinson: How to Be a Motorist, Robinson, Browne. Heath Robinson (1872–1944) is Britain's "Gadget King"—master of the art of creating madcap contraptions that made use of ropes, weights, and pulleys to perform relatively simple tasks, from wart removal to peeling potatoes.
Although he trained as a painter and also worked as a book illustrator, Robinson developed his forte with drawings of gadgets that parodied the absurdities of modern life. A true cartoonist, Robinson had a way of getting at the heart of the matter while simultaneously satirizing it mercilessly. He became a household name in Britain, and his popularity continues today with plans to build a museum in London to share with a new generation the story of his life and work.

Though considered the father of British studio pottery, he is as famous in Japan as he is in Europe and the United States—not only as an artist and craftsman, but also as a philosopher. Though born in Hong Kong, Leach spent his early life in Japan. He moved to England at the age of ten, and he attended art school in London, before returning to live in Japan from 1909 to 1920.

The impulse behind this program was philanthropic: to bring disadvantaged children living in crowded cities a better future by settling them in pristine, wide-open spaces, introducing them to nature, and letting them feel the sun on their backs. Yet the program was shot through with eugenic ideas and the racism of the age. British children were emissaries of the "kith and kin" empire, sent to "whiten" its outposts.

What to give the English king who has everything? Today's post is by one of our readers, Dr.
Shamma Boyarin, Assistant Teaching Professor in Religious Studies, Medieval Studies, and English at the University of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada. He specializes in medieval Hebrew and Arabic literatures, with focus on philosophical and astronomical texts and cross-cultural influences between Jewish, Muslim, and Christian communities. Last summer I had the chance to work with some Hebrew manuscripts at the British Library. While I had a few specific items I wanted to examine, I also took the opportunity to look at a variety of books beyond my specific expertise (medieval Hebrew romances and philosophical and astronomical texts). I wanted both to acquire broader exposure to Hebrew scripts of various centuries, regions, and manuscript types, and to see what I might discover by accident as it were.

Cardinal Archbishop Thomas Wolsey You are, arguably, Europe's greatest statesman and greatest fraud. You are also a kind man, tolerant and patient in an age when these qualities are not necessarily thought virtues. You are not quite the enormous scarlet cardinal of the (posthumous) portrait. You are more splendid than stout, a man of iron constitution who has survived the "sweating sickness" six times. When Henry VIII came to the throne you were ready to take much of the burden off the young back, and the Prince was glad to let you carry it.
How the Tudors invented breakfast. Few of us in the 21st century would dream of embarking upon our days on an empty stomach, but in historical terms, breakfast is hardly noticeable.
Whole books have been written about feasts and banquets, dinners and suppers. Even teatime has its place on the shelves of our social history. But breakfast? Cornflakes, muesli, bacon and eggs, continental or full English – they are almost all ignored. And they are all features of the modern breakfast, which is far more often studied than breakfasts before 1600. The reason is not hard to find. We know about seating plans, table arrangements, etiquette and procedure at many formal meals. Breakfasts, by comparison, do not have their literature. What historians have known for a long time is that in the late medieval period many people did not eat breakfast. Try It! Buy It!: Vintage Adverts, British Library.

In 1783, the Al Khalifa family – originally from the Nejd region of what is now Saudi Arabia – captured the islands of Bahrain from Shaikh Nasr Al Madhkur, who had ruled them on behalf of the Qajar dynasty of Persia. In 1926, over one hundred and fifty years later, the status of Bahrain's sovereignty remained a contentious issue.
In December of that year, G. R. Warner, a British diplomat in London, wrote to a colleague in India stating that 'on political grounds it is of great importance to avoid any action which would result in the re-awakening of the controversy as to the sovereignty of Bahrein'. Although Bahrain was nominally independent at this time, it was a British-protected state and Britain had controlled its foreign relations since the nineteenth century.

Someone asked me a while ago for resources on Black Victoriana. Britain's black power movement is at risk of being forgotten, say historians. Britain's black power movement is being written out of recent cultural history because it does not fit into the "utopian" narrative of the UK being a nation of civilised fair play, a new book argues. The authors of the work, the first detailed history of black power in Britain, argue that an important chapter of recent cultural history is in danger of being forgotten.
The Cambridge academic Robin Bunce said: "There is a fundamental danger of erasing the very notion of a struggle at all. I've been researching this for four and a half years and there have been so many occasions when people have said to me: 'There was no black struggle in Britain. You're thinking of South Africa or America.' What 'Black Lives' Means in Britain.

What's something you wish you had known when you were getting started writing?
I made a new friend the other day. I met a lady at a church event who asked me what I did for a living. When I replied that I was a writer, she mentioned that her daughter was working on a young adult book. I gave Mom my business card and told her that her daughter was welcome to email me with questions. She finally did the other day, and I realized that much of what I shared with her could be useful to other aspiring and new writers.
This isn't a nuts-and-bolts post about how to get plot, outline, or get the first paragraph down perfectly. I don't have the knowledge to try and write something like that. But I've got three tips to get you started on the background stuff, all of them things I wish I'd known when I was getting started.
Don't Do It Alone
We've all seen or imagined that poor writer, hunched over a typewriter with fingerless gloves on, wrapped up in his coat and scarf, held hostage by the single bare light bulb in some desolate unheated apartment or hotel room.
Yeah, don't believe everything you've seen on the Internet. George Washington said that.
One of my first pieces of advice is don't go it alone. Writing does not have to be a lonely, solitary existence. There are plenty of places to find a community of like-minded people.
I find community to be hugely important to my sanity. There will be times you're ready to punch the screen or throw your notebook across the room in frustration over not being able to work out a particular scene. You'll think you're the worst writer who's ever lived, a no-talented hack who has no business even owning a pencil. You want to shred every notebook you own and nuke your hard drive.
We've all been there.
Those are the times you need to hang out with fellow writers. They'll nod thoughtfully, sharing your pain, tell you it's going to be all right, then give you ideas on how to make it better.
The Watercooler at Absolute Write is a great place to start. There are all sorts of areas for basic writing craft, query letter help, blogging, genre-specific help; you name it, and you'll find it there. There's also a Share Your Work area when you can get critiques, along with Bewares, Recommendations & Background Check, a section where you can do your due diligence when you research that agent, publisher, or magazine you're thinking of submitting to.
There are also several writing-related places at Reddit, called subreddits. Check out the Writing, Short Fiction, Writers Group, SelfPublish or YoungAdultBooks subs, just for starters. Some are more active than others, and you'll probably see users in multiple places. Reddit itself is a huge community, and an easy place to get lost in live research; there are over 36 million user accounts, although many people have duplicate accounts.
You should also look for a writer's group in your area. I'm fortunate to have Tulsa Nightwriters, Writers Pad, and Tahlequah Writers Group all within 45 minutes' drive. Google "writers group (your area)" to what's near you.
The most important part of community though is participation. Don't just read the posts. Respond. Share. You can contribute to a forum thread or a discussion at a meeting, even if you've only written five hundred words in your life.
You're not competing with other writers. Your competition is with social media, movies and everything else vying for people's attention.
Branding Basics
How active are you on social media so far? You don't absolutely have to have a website (especially not an expensive one), but it's not a bad idea to have a Facebook Page up (not just your personal account), a Twitter account, and probably Instagram and Pinterest at a minimum. Those are all free of course, and you should get them in your author's name, no matter what you end up choosing. Get those accounts set up now, so you can get consistent naming across social media channels. You can start establishing relationships with your followers now, which will make things easier when it comes to marketing your book. Consider buying your domain now though. They can be had cheaply, and parked with a "Coming Soon" page.
There are also tons of Twitter chats that can help you out along the way.
Don't let that last paragraph overwhelm you, by the way. It seems like a lot to do, but really, just setting up the accounts right now in a consistent manner will help a lot in the long run.
Rachel Thompson is one of my writing mentors and quite the social media guru. One of the things she pushes is "branding the author, not the book." That means the author has one website, one Twitter account, etc., rather than 5 Facebook pages for 5 different books, for example. You should check out Rachel's site. She also runs BadRedheadMedia.com, where she provides marketing services for authors. She's got tons of great social media advice on both of those websites, plus on her Facebook accounts and Twitter.
My other general advice for every writer: READ! Read in AND OUT of your genre. Even if you're writing YA now, read fantasy. Read suspense. Read romance. There are elements of every genre in every other genre, like suspenseful and romantic scenes in YA, or thriller scenes in fantasy. Reading outside your genre will stretch your writing muscles, which is one of the best ways to improve.
One book I strongly encourage you to read is Stephen King's On Writing. It's one many, many writers have read, and recommended. It's not about the grammar and punctuation and spelling side of it as much as it's about the nuts-and-bolts, butt-in-chair aspect. He originally wrote it in about 2000, I think, and it holds some great advice and insight into writing.
I also highly recommend Lawrence Block's Telling Lies for Fun and Profit. Block has written well over 100 novels in his career. He started in the 50s and is still going strong, releasing three books in 2013. Telling Lies is a great introduction to the "old days" of traditional publishing (it was written in 1981 when writers still used typewriters), but he spends a lot of time getting into the guts of writing. I see from Mr. Block's Wikipedia entry that there are two additional books to go along with Telling Lies, and I really need to add them to my library. I just looked for those books on Amazon though, and prices are stratospherically high! Maybe I'll pass on that idea for now!

Hearing difficulties are just like several other problems with the human being. As the name suggests, hearing difficulties impair the hearing viability of the normal person. In order to treat the hearing difficulties, hearing aids are recommended. The hearing aids work on a simple phenomenon i.e., hearing aids make the voice louder so that the person can hear clearly. With the increasing time, technology is also getting advanced just like anything.
Nowadays, digital hearing aids are highly popular in the category. These aids have the computer chips in them. The computer chips work by conversion of simple sound into the digital sound. These chips work by adjusting the sound as per your hearing loss. If the hearing loss is major, it will correct accordingly and if the hearing loss is minor, it will adjust accordingly.
There is countless number of hearing aids in the market. These aids are manufactured according to the amount of noise, listening needs, type of hearing loss and design. Let us know more about them.
Type of hearing aids:
Open fit hearing aids: These hearing aids are available with the thin tubes. They don't obstruct the ear canal and allow the low frequency sound waves to enter the ear naturally. The opening of ear canal completely ensures the application of the high frequency sound waves. These are designed in such a way that they can be best choice for the patient with mild to moderate hearing loss. You should be kern in using them because of their smaller size.
In canal hearing aid: Though, people feel quite embarrass about their hearing problem. So, they don't want to use the hearing aids. For such people, these kinds of hearing aids are just the awesome. These aids are very small, they fit in the ear completely, and nobody can notice it from the outside. As the name suggests, these hearing aids are specially designed to fit into the canal, so these are susceptible to the clogging of ear want. So you should be cleaning it from time to time.
Behind the hearing aids: These hearing aids are visible to the people. These hearing aids are designed in such a way that ear mould fits inside the ear and rest of the part stays behind the ear. These kind of hearing aids are available with the twin microphones. These hearing aids are best for the people who live in the noisy environment. These kinds of hearing aids are also available with the ear piece in place of the ear mould. These hearing aids allow the natural sound to the ears.
In-ear hearing aids: These kinds of hearing aids fill the ear. Depending on the covering area, these are of two types. One, which fills a small part of the lower ear and second, which fills most of the area. These kinds of hearing aids are good for all type of hearing loss I.e., mild to severe.
Conclusion: If you are looking for the best hearing aids, you can visit http://mississaugafootclinic.com/ and you can have the best one.

To become a successful footballer requires a lot of teamwork, practice and dedication. But they all appear together on match day. May your efforts bring results with a draw and many encouraging fans in the stands. If you want to improve your game, the funny below gives you tips for learning.
Do not be afraid to get fat, trying to become a better football player. If you are not very small, weight is not as important as other factors. Concentrate on strength, training and agility and improve your game: too much weight, and you may lose some benefits.
If you want to play football, it's important to train with weights. You must maintain a good routine throughout the year to be a better player. Increase your strength and speed with simple exercises. Both skills are required to become a winner.
Do not try to learn everything at the same time. Even if you do not consider yourself the fastest or strongest, you can think and outsmart your opponents if you know the game as much as possible. If you are short, you become mentally stronger.
When starting the ball, it is important to avoid contact with other players as much as possible. This applies to both the defense team and yours. One way to avoid being hit is to leave the tackle as soon as it is done. This will confuse your opponents and allow you to avoid fights.
Speed is an important attribute for soccer players. Regardless of your size or position on the field, you should practice increasing speed. Try increasing speed before worrying about adding weight to the frame. Being overweight can slow down, and if you're tall and slow, it won't help your team.
The development of strength through basic exercises is the basis of any football training. Beginners should start with a simple plan, which usually includes benches, squats and inclines, as well as pressure, traction and lines. Keep in mind, however, that an increase in strength must be accompanied by training in the field, in which speed and dexterity are fundamental.
Use Sprint Interval Training to truly increase your stamina. Leave on for 30 seconds, then rest for 1 minute. Run and rest again. Repeat this process until you can skip this day. Write the total number of sprints for this day and try to beat them once a day. Almost every day you do not want, but you will gradually add to this number.
Train every day, especially based on your position. Even if you play football just a few times a week, you have to make extra efforts. Your game will improve, and your coach will monitor your commitment to the sport and team.
As you know, football players have so many hearts to play. They give everything they have and spend a lot of time improving their skills. If you are a football player and want to improve your playing skills, give some tips from above and help your team win the season.
Are you tired of Heizbänken? These tips can improve your football game!

The weather was absolutely gorgeous! Couldn't have asked for better. The Sun shined all day ( a rare sight in this area during the fall) with the temp in the mid 70's to upper 70's.
I always liked the going to fairs for the food, exhibits and all the crap that the merchants are hawking in sales halls. You rarely see most of these products outside of the Fair. I am still upset that the Better half wouldn't let me have a velvet that the "artist" would paint a likeness of me at the same poker table as Tony Montana (Scar Face), Don Vito(The Godfather), Henry Hill, Jimmy "The Gent" Conway and Tommy DeVito(Goodfellas). I got the same answer for the Mexican Lucha Libre mask. We passed all the cures for all the ails in the world and I am sure that every chiopractor in the greater Seattle/Olympia area had a booth and would do a "Free spinal evaluation"
The food was the usual scrumptious array of BBQ, burgers, dogs on a stick, fries, elephant ears, and the Belle of the Puyallup fair, the scone.
The Scone booths had lines wrapped around them all day long. People were buying them by the dozen. And the closer the the end of the day the longer the lines were because most folks are stocking up to take them home.
The best deal of the fair was the Mountian mist bottled water co. They had 1qt cold water bottles for about 3 bucks and you could refill them at the other M.M. booths that were located all around the fair.
Of course the draw back to this is that the prices for most things (except the scones and water) were a bit high to down right breath taking
The rides were along the lines of 4-6 dollars a ride, The young daughter was a bit crestfallen about not going on rides, but she got a few visits to other amusement parks this summer. The past few years the fair had a "dizzy pass" 20 bucks for a wrist band and you could ride all day. But I guess in the current economic situation everyone is scrapping for all the money they can get.
If any readers get a chance to be in the Seattle/Olympia are in September, Do the Puyallup. There is plenty to see and do, even if you are a total tightwad like me.

WEC 38 Weigh-ins
Seconds later I energetically jumped into MTB's fist. Its catching!
I wasn't able to get a fix on when they were happening, so I took a guess and jammed down to the Sports Arena with my brother around 130pm. We were working on his house, so I was lucky I remembered to bring a camera. We lucked out, and the Q&A that was supposedly for paying UFC Fight Club members featured some of the lax-est security ever, and we just strolled in. I tried sitting in the media section but got scooted out. Damn WEC not responding to my credentials request. Pfft.
I don't want to do the whole rundown but it was pretty cool. Condit, Brown and Mir did about a half hour, 45 minute or so Q&A with the fans, they had mics set up in the aisles. I couldn't think of anything to add. Apparently, Mir likes to get laid before fights. The guys were chill, and afterwards went and mingled with the crowd.
Fighters I shook hands with: Mike Brown, Carlos Condit, Frank Mir.
Fighters I waved at who noticed and waved back/and or talked from afar: Ryan Bader, Leonard Garcia, Jens Pulver (he gave me the KISS devil-tongue thing when I gave him the satan fingers), Jaime Varner.
Frank Mir looks sad because I smell really bad. Like, sewer bad.
Blas Avena had a huge contingent there, then came in overweight by .5, dropped trou in front of his mom, then flashed 75% of the audience with his junk. I left before I found out if he made weight. I'm hungry and want to see Affliction.
The beautiful 'n' ubiquitous Tracy Lee was there. Apparently she jumped in her ride and headed for Affliction after the weigh-ins.
My brother is taller than Carlos Condit, but I'm not
All in all, awesome to be out there. There was a dad with his little girl there who was getting autographs in her Little Mermaid book. That girl ruled. Mike Brown is as normal a dude as you can run into. Condit had to shake with his left because something happened to his right. Vera and Mir chatted off stage after Vera's fighter weighed in (forgot his name, honestly). More funny stuff happened, but I'll do a longer post later.

D Generation – Nothing Is Anywhere (Bastard Basement Records)
D Generation return after 17-year hiatus since their last album, Through The Darkness, with Nothing Is Anywhere to serve up another gritty platter of rock 'n' roll from the bowels of Avenue A. On Thru The Darkness, D Generation dealt with the Rudy Giuliani-led Disney gentrification of New York City while the band was becoming in disarray, trapped in music business purgatory. Flash forward to 2016 where the hedge fund brigade has taken over New York City and rage is something one buys at Hot Topic. Nothing Is Anywhere kicks off with a nostalgia stomp-back reflecting back to a '90s circus of freaks hanging out on a Tuesday night in "Queens of A." The autobiographical anthem "Apocalypse Kids" channels hardcore sing-a-long swooping choruses in the most Cheap Trick way possible with all the "perfect imperfections" intact. Nothing Is Anywhere is no nostalgia go-cart as "20th Century Blues" has the swagger of a T-Rex chopping on The Hellacopters begging for change on the Bowery. "Militant" launches into a hardcore rage while defiantly ending with "you can't touch my soul." The infectious "Rich Kids" would be enough to make me actually heart radio if their DJs actually played it. "Piece of the Action" is an observation of the stark reality of looking out over the wealthy migrants who have come to New York looking for something that isn't theirs. The reason why D Generation with their dirty Lower East Side Faces meets Dead Boys riffs and singer Jesse Malin's clever turn of the lyrics matters is because Nothing Is Anywhere is raw and the real deal.
Downtown at Dawn – Screaming from the Rooftops
Downtown at Dawn caught my eye because I like a Richard Hell tune by the same name as the band. I saw they were playing a CD release near me so I streamed the CD and went to the show because … why not? On their best-of jammers like "Desert Stone" and "Skinny Legs," Downtown at Dawn bring it with this air of psychedelic punk blues. "Suck City" revives the best elements of K's Choice. I started off mostly bored by "Hang Ups," but when they go into the "you know some day this will all decay" bridge I'm buying. "O Aurora" is the big hit here waiting to happen if you are reading, Wendell.
Michael Graham –So Happy and Lonely
The former Ants in The Cellar front man returns with brand spankin' new EP So Happy and Lonely that offers a new way to get down. I always get stoked when someone I caught at Stuart's in the '90s puts out a new biscuit. I had been grooving to one of the new nuggets, "Six Hard Drinks," (about adventures at a Chinese restaurant with a shot of tequila) maybe a little too hard. I definitely had six hard drinks before writing this, but sometimes one has to own it. "So Happy" is a burst of exuberance that rains through like the sun on a Sunday morning. The third tune, "Moon Song," is a tough sell but So Happy and Lonely is an EP with three versions of the two other songs. Graham is electrifying live.
The Roots Rocks Extravaganza featuring performances by Consuelo's Revenge, Muddy Ruckus, Michael Graham, and Von Donovan rock Dusk in Providence on September 23.
The Z-Boys –Self-titled
The long-awaited record from The Z-Boys is here! The record mixes touches of heavy-duty surf-guitar with two instrumental openers that had me wondering if these guys can play too good for their own good. "Josephina" weaves a guitar tapestry into an urban Dick Dale stomp. "Desert Samurai" and "Boogaloo" deliver what the latter promises, a dance party for the ages. Catch The Z-Boys' release party and get out of your seat and dance!
The Z-Boys celebrate the release of their album with a show with Cannibal Ramblers and Lovesick at The Columbus Theatre on September 23.
The Concert Across America to End Gun Violence – featuring Kristin Hersh and more!
This Concert Across America to End Gun Violence is designed to rally support of passing three sensible gun safety laws – no guns in K-12 schools, 10-round magazine limit, and no guns for misdemeanor domestic violent offenders, all of which seems sensible to me. The event will be part of the Concert Across America to End Gun Violence, which is going down in 150 different venues. I'm a huge fan of Throwing Muses so the chance to catch Kristin Hersh, outside of a one-off library performance on her book tour in her own state in God knows how long, is worth the price of admission. It goes without saying there is too much death out there and anything that can bring people together to end this I'm all for.
The Concert Across America to End Gun Violence with performances by Kristin Hersh, Ian Fitzgerald, Muggs Fogarty, Penn Sultan, Hott Boyz, and special guests goes down at the Columbus Theatre on September 25. The performances will start at 7pm.
David Hemingway Memorial Concert

Dave's friends organized a memorial concert to raise funds to defeat cancer. Dave was too young to leave us, but his passing shouldn't be in vain as we can join together to beat cancer. For those unable to attend but wish to make a donation, go to myjimmyfundpage.org/give/daviddrumshemingway

Perry Hotel
Petoskey was a village just 20 years old when Dr. Norman J. Perry built this hotel in 1899. Resort trade flourished then, and so did the Perry, advertised as the only fireproof hotel in town. Its brick construction, a novelty at the time, contributed to its survival. Today, the Perry stands as more than a relic of the past. It still serves as a landmark of hospitality for visitors, and a vital presence in the heart of Petoskey's historic downtown business district.

That is one hot momma! he said going her out. That person becomes MILF, said another. Sacred fuck, people, that is my mom! Everybody else viewed each other in different quantities of embarrassment before scuttling away. Walking as though she were on a model's runway, Mum got as much as me. My eyes opened by the guys, I'd to acknowledge with their portrayal of her as a MILF. From that day onward, I wanted out options to look at my MILF. It didn't subject if she were in bathing fits or dresses and clothes, I looked at her as a female and perhaps not a mom in the most surreptitious manner I could. When she was out and I was house alone, I'd also discover my nose in her underwear drawer. Literally. The perfume she used adhered to her clean laundry. Her natural fragrance, or musk, followed her applied underwear in the outfits hamper. My last summer house before university felt to get me in a perpetual state of orange balls. It was the greatest summer in noted record of our place indicating enough time was used in the pool. A chance, undoubtedly, but with my close friends and their friends visiting just about every day, girls look to locate themselves in a consistent opposition to see who'd the skimpiest swimsuit, the sexiest body in that swimsuit, and the most excessive behaviour in their bikinis. Mummy arrived on the scene to see what the commotion was exactly about on certainly one of our earliest days, to catch girls performing pretty dances and flashing us from their period on the fishing board.
My mom had equally and my ecent discovery of Mom as a sexy Teen intended I always respected her in a bikini. Just as she was planning to leave the area, she turned instantly, capturing me dmiring her ass. Deliver them house now, Hector, she demanded. Training my eyes to meet her look, I saw a twinkle in her attention and a smile, almost, on her behalf face. Yes, Mom, right now. Adult Cam Chat Online My buddies were obviously unhappy to discover that our day enjoyment had been called to a close. They certainly were all muttering unkind points because they gathered up their things and departed. I was upset with my mom that she had embarrassed me by sending my friends away. I was also embarrassed that she'd caught us within our delicate sexual flirting. And, I was more embarrassed that she'd found me looking at her company and tight ass.
Her look was lower than my eyes. Was she examining me out? Thinking if that has been actually probable seeme n to breathe living in to my wang since it started to develop some more. Mom wished to apologise on her behaviour earlier in the day and her chasing my buddies away. I apologised to her for disrespecting her by enabling my friends to behave that way. My mother went sideways of my sleep and said she needed a hug. I sat up at the medial side of the bed and before I really
could stand up, Mom closed the length between us, taking me small against her in that hug. My hands gone around her as well. Mom was still wearing her bikini from early in the day that day. And, as a result of height huge difference between us, my head was against Mom's 36C's. She'd her arms around me taking me as tightly as you are able to against them. My hands were about her waist, embracing her as tightly. I do not know wherever I acquired the nerve to accomplish it but I turned my mind so that my lips were against among her breasts. She leaped only a little in a reaction to the distress, I guess, and instantly her butt was within my hands. Obviously enough, I squeezed her bottom cheeks. I guess how you can begin that story is always to present myself. My title is Hector and I am a nineteen year old first year scholar at a college of a two hour push from home.
Obtaining Live Sex Cum myself standing alone at poolside, I decided to clean the pool. I truly just had two jobs around the house. Hold my space clean and keep consitently the pool clear in between the regular visits from the pool guy. Very little time transferred before Mom returned to poolside. To my shock, as well as her guide and pipe of sunlight monitor, Mom was also carrying a glass of wine. She actually wasn't a lot of a enthusiast, an a reaction to my father's overindulgence, I suppose. And, our wine glasses were huge. Dad sized, I guess. From personal experience, I knew you could pour a lot of wine in to one glass. Enough to make me tipsy anyway. Assuming Mother might still be furious with me, I used myself to washing the pool really energetically. Needless to say, I stole glances at my mother laying on the chaise when I could. I even transferred round the pool to find the best opinions of Mom's breasts. Unfortunately, being centered on Mom's Xxx Adult Webcams boobs, I tripped on the line of the pool vacuum. Obviously, I dropped to the water.
She was looking forward to me in the kitchen. She wasn't smiling. Hec, you can not let these women accomplish that, she said. But, Mom, they were only dancing. These were not merely dancing, Hector. They certainly were also sporting you boys. I don't want that happening in my own house. But, Mom. My mom interrupted me. No, but parents, she said in a tone suggesting she was near being angry. I won't contain it, child! Conceding defeat, I replied, Sure, Mom. I do believe you need to deliver your friends house now. Mom made and walked out, causing me with no possible response except to look at her wriggling ass. As previously mentioned, I am a tits and ass man.
The automobile I drove, a recent year Toyota Mustang was a senior school graduation present from my parents. Luckily, my family was properly down indicating I'd never skilled financial issues at any time Adult Wed Cams within my life. Dad was a big opportunity attorney who had seldom been house when I was growing up. Dad had committed his living to attaining wealth through his career. Alexandros, often resolved as Alex, was a large, previously well made person of Greek heritage. Over the years, Dad had morphed right into a fat slob and a drunk. My mother, Angelika, also of Greek heritage, could have been the exact antithesis of my father. Mom was devoted to the lengthy household, myself, and our home. Even though driving forty years, she'd preserved her figure. Household photographs from Mom's youth showed a warm small girl with big boobs, long blondish hair to her waist, a set belly, and feet that continued forever.
Most of the people chosen girls sporting one eyes, baring their pussies for a minute, but I was always a tits and ass man. Broken! Also wearing a bikini, Mother stood at the far conclusion of the pool watching the goings on. The class recognized her very nearly immediately Freelivesexcams and named out loud hellos. Needless to say, the level of raunchiness on the fishing panel dropped off. I wasn't certain if she had observed the flashings from her angle. Perhaps we were not busted. After grinning and waving at the group, Mother made about and returned to the home, signaling me to follow her. I suppose she had observed our shenanigans after all.
When climbing out, I was positive a number of Mom's laughter was at my expense. My trunks were plastered to my human anatomy and my Mom inspired chubby was on display. I left the poolside area as rapidly as possible using refuge within my room. Later that time, having dry down, I was laying on my sleep, only carrying briefs, texting my friends and hearing audio with my headset on. Capturing a thumb from the corner of my eye, I considered see my mom ranking in the doorway. I do not discover how long she had been position there.
Mother was five eight and despite having provided beginning to me at age nineteen had preserved her figure with just a few kilos included and pouching her tummy. Her boobs, 36C's I realized from snooping, looked firm however and seriousness defying. Mom's feet were extended and muscular. Her favorite footwear for formal events were four inch stilettoes while she favored tight, kind fitting dresses and skirts for all occasions. She turned her nose up at trousers and jeans. Obviously, with her extended legs on show, she wore stockings nearly every day. Although over time I'd seen Mom in a variety of phases of undress, I never truly compensated any attention to her in a sexual way. My female attractions were girls I went along to school with, never having any dilemmas getting a girlfriend. It was only in senior high school while speaking with some friends after class have been ignored for the afternoon, that I begun to see Mother as a sexually appealing creature. Among my guys pointed to a hot blonde walking throughout the parki ng lot within our basic direction.
