Aston Villa fans were expecting an avalanche of goals when Ross McCormack arrived from Fulham for £12 million in the summer.
Just two have arrived for the Scotland striker, but it hasn't been for the want of trying.
McCormack's apparent struggles haven't been eased by Jonathan Kodjia's explosive goalscoring spree which has made him Villa's first choice striker at present.
McCormack was deployed behind Kodjia by Roberto Di Matteo in what was a very attacking line-up, but new manager Steve Bruce has been forced to sacrifice the Scot in a bid to solidify the team.
McCormack has, through no great fault of his own, been the fall guy. His early season form showed plenty of promise. A first goal against Huddersfield Town and a second against Nottingham Forest suggested a spree might not be far away, but minor knocks halted his progress.
We are approaching a crucial time in Villa's season. Strikers are being linked with the claret and blues every day, with Abel Hernandez and Jordan Rhodes the two most prominent names.
But McCormack can divert his manager's attentions from bringing in a new man by recapturing the form he showed at his previous clubs.
So why not start against two of them? Cardiff City gave McCormack his big break in English football and he repaid them with 24 goals in his first season.
Just five followed the following campaign with McCormack forced to play out wide due to the partnership of Jay Bothroyd and Michael Chopra.
He left the Bluebirds for Leeds United in 2010 but began life in Yorkshire much more slowly than he had done in South Wales.
McCormack didn't score in his first 19 appearances for Leeds and only managed two before the campaign was out.
The following season was a breakthrough one for him at Elland Road. 19 goals in 49 appearances justified the money Leeds had spent on him. But his big season with the Whites was the 2013/14 campaign.
McCormack plundered 29 goals in 53 appearances and looked to be on the verge of a Premier League move.
He opted for recently relegated Fulham in what was a Championship record £11 million at the time.
Provided Bruce selects him, the next two matches could be crucial in shaping McCormack's season.
He has the opportunity to prove he can be the main man when Kodjia heads off to the African Cup of Nations in January.
Nobody has a better record at this level than McCormack in the last 10 years.
McCormack has made a career out of taking chances, let's hope he takes the next one.

Freedom of information in China has been – and will for some time remain – a contentious issue for us out here in the west, but most of us tend to agree that the situation is dire, with internet in the country being heavily monitored and censored by the government. What's less often suggested is that there are actually promising signs that people are finding ways to freely communicate with each other beneath Beijing's radar.
In a recent TED speech, prominent Chinese blogger Michael Anti has been talking about ways in which Chinese 'netizens' have been finding alternative ways to communicate. While Twitter, Facebook and Google are all banned, this has allowed for services such as Weibo and Baidu to come to prominence, which are currently used by around 300 million people.
Anti argued that the nature of the Chinese language means that it is easer to conceal words and forms of communication in ways that they can't be detected by the censoring authorities. For instance, who would've thought that the opposition between the free-speaking netizens of China and the government is described on the country's net as that between a Grass-Mud Horse and a River Crab?
He added that the lack of access that local authorities have to internet data (which is all kept in Beijing) makes the system more transparent, with only one set of rules that netizens must adapt to, rather than many.
Check out the full speech below to see another side to the debate over Chinese internet censorship.

The Sword of Simón Bolivar is the second episode of the first season of Narcos.
Communist radical group M-19 makes a move against the narcos, while Murphy gets an education in Colombian law enforcement from his new partner Peña.
It's clear, even through just two episodes, that Narcos is going to have trouble fleshing out the story of drug kingpin Pablo Escobar, American DEA agent Steve Murphy, and the complex politics of the War on Drugs. Narcos is ambitious in its scope, doing what it can to tell a story that spans decades and has implications beyond that, but it's also hindered by such a vision. It's why moments of promising character development, like tonight's formation of the Medellín cartel, are often presented as mere exposition via Murphy's voice-over.
Still, after a scattered premiere, Narcos finds more steady ground in its second episode by mostly limiting its time jumps and fleshing out how Murphy and Escobar came to be intertwined. The episode begins with Murphy and his wife Connie trying to get through customs in Colombia. It's 1981, eight years before Murphy tracks down Poison, has him killed, and is thus on Escobar's hit list. Right now, he's just a DEA agent looking to get started in Colombia.
The Murphys, and their cat, are detained though, under the guise that the cat doesn't have all the proper forms. That's really just an excuse to get Murphy detained and get some information on him before they let this US citizen into the country. With the Murphys are detained for the majority of the episode, Narcos dives into the ever-expanding empire of Pablo Escobar.
Escobar, after getting rid of Cockroach, is now running super labs where they produce 10,000 kilos of cocaine a week, enough for $5 billion of revenue in a year. That's great business, but it's making it difficult for Escobar to hide his funds. He can't very well launder it through his small taxicab company, so what does he do? He buries it and sews it into his mother's furniture, and has his accountant, who goes by the name Blackbeard, keep track of where it's all going.
As great as business is, there's a looming threat, a group of guerrilla communists called the M-19 who Murphy says "read too much Karl Marx for their own good." Led by a history teacher labeled Ivan The Terrible, they plan to kidnap the sister of the Ochoa brothers, one of the more important players in the trafficking business. When M-19 steals the sword of Simón Bolívar, sending a message to the government, and coming back into play with the narcos later, they think they've finally found a way to notoriety.
The truth is though, the kidnapping is just fuel for Escobar's fire. He calls a meeting of all the local kingpins and families, saying that now is the time to form a coalition. Escobar proposes that he retains control of all day-to-day activities, while the rest of the cartel provides funding and receives not only profits, but security from further kidnappings. With everyone in agreement, Escobar names the group: Death to Kidnappers.
While Escobar is certainly busy expanding his operation, he's also working his way into the political sphere. When he's interviewed by a local reporter, he speaks of creating a Medellín free of slums, where his money can be used for hospitals and schools. It's here that Narcos really struggles with its scope. The scene is meant to lend the audience some understanding of Escobar's vision, and to further cement him as a true anti-hero, as a bad man who also does good things. But, the story must span decades, so such insights are rushed, and we're once again ushered away by Murphy's voice-over to a string of sex scenes.
While Escobar ends up sleeping with the reporter in question while also telling her to never disrespect his wife Tata, Murphy's new DEA partner Javier Pena—played with ample charisma by Pedro Pascal, better know as Oberyn Martell on Game of Thrones—is having sex with Helena, a hooker who also happens to be his informant. She tells Pena that there's going to be a party in Medellín, that all the high-class hookers are being sent there. Pena sees this as a sign that all the top guys in Colombia's drug trafficking empire are meeting up, so he sends her in to get information.
After the meeting where the Death to Kidnappers cartel is established, Helena is back in Gacha's room, post-sex, giving him a massage to relax him. Unfortunately, Helena is so eager to get a visa that it ultimately causes her downfall as Helena's inquiry about the meeting is obvious to Gacha.
Realizing that she's an informant, Gacha has his men capture her repeatedly torture and rape her.
When Pena realizes that Helena isn't coming back, that her cover is likely blown, he takes two of the local militia and heads out to find her. He leaves Murphy behind because he's about to torture and kill some people to get that information, and he doesn't know if he can trust his new partner.
A few bodies later, Pena finds Helena in an apartment, bloodied and beaten and being raped by one of Escobar's men. He quickly kills the men and wraps Helena in his jacket, promising her that he'll get her out of there. That might be true of the apartment, but a visit to the U.S. Ambassadors office earlier in the episode suggests that getting her out of the country isn't going to be so easy.
Meanwhile, Escobar, wielding new power, wreaks havoc on the M-19 camps and takes pictures of their bodies hanging from trees. He's sending a message, and M-19 leader Ivan The Terrible hears it loud and clear.
He releases Marta Ochoa unharmed and hands himself over to Escobar, asking him to finish the job, but to do it with Bolívar's sword. Escobar is craftier than that though and understands that Ivan could be useful to him alive. He spares his life and tells him that from now on they'll be working together.
Back at the airport, the Murphys finally get through customs, but not without Steve's passport being photocopied and sent to the entire cartel. After making themselves at home for a while, with Connie looking to help out at a local hospital and Steve adjusting to his new job, the two return home to find their apartment broken into and their cat strung up from the ceiling. More messages being sent from the cartel.
Murphy and Pena are ready to send their own message though. After Murphy confronts Pena about ditching him back the the rendezvous, he tells him that no matter what it entails, he's all in on the War on Drugs and taking down whoever is involved. Back at the office, he maps out the whole cartel. "Meet the Medellín cartel," he says before Pena crosses off three of the men. Surely they won't be the last to get a red X through their photo.

Dramatic and spontaneous natural disasters garner substantial humanitarian aid—as they should. But long-term chronic environmental pressures such as heat stress also put tremendous strain on rural households, especially households in less developed countries that rely on agriculture.
People migrate in response to immediate disasters as well as to longer-term environmental strains. Humanitarian aid can potentially reduce the need for both kinds of migration.
Migration From Environmental Stress
Environmental factors have always shaped migration. In the ancient Sahara, archaeological and anthropological evidence suggest that humans migrated as shifts in the monsoon patterns allowed them to move deeper into the desert. Alternatively, periods of droughts forced people to leave the desert in search of water and pasture land for their animals—much like contemporary nomadic populations.1
More recent examples are also useful. The dust bowl in the United States from 1931 to 1939 led to massive soil erosion and a drastic reduction in soil productivity. Billowing clouds of dust buried farm equipment and buildings. Hundreds of thousands of residents had no choice but to leave the Great Plains.2
Humanitarian Aid and Migration
Today, environmental catastrophes fill the news. Typhoon Haiyan devastated the Philippines in November 2013; and a massive tornado carved a 12-mile path through Oklahoma City in May 2013. Over $4 billion are spent on emergency relief for natural disasters every year.3 But dramatic environmental disasters aren't the only reasons people migrate.
Comparing Floods and Heat Stress in Pakistan
To shed light on migration in the face of different environmental challenges, a recent study in Nature Climate Change focused on rural Pakistan over a 21-year period. The migration histories of over 4,000 individuals between 1991 and 2012 were examined by researchers Valerie Mueller from the International Food Policy Research Institute, and Clark Gray and Katrina Kosec from the University of North Carolina's Population Center. They linked rainfall and temperature data with migration data.
Their research found that heat stress rather than floods was most related to migration. Heat stress in rural Pakistan is intense during the wheat-growing season, from winter to spring. Also, poor households tended to move longer distances, suggesting that migration is important as an adaptive response, especially among the most vulnerable populations.4
Environmental Pressures Act on a Continuum
Research in other regions has also documented the migratory impact of long-term chronic environmental stress. In dry rural regions of Mexico, migration to the United States increases in times of low rainfall.5 In India, a severe drought in 2003 led nearly all households in the small village of Khaliakani to send at least one migrant in search of income elsewhere.6
An environmental driver of migration, drought, as a longer-term chronic stress, is at one end of a continuum. Sudden catastrophic events are at the other end. In the case of chronic long-term migration, a family may not move but will send someone from the household to seek labor elsewhere and send remittances home. On the other hand, acute and sudden natural disasters may result in refugee streams, although relocation may be short term.
Difference Pressures Require Different Policies
Humanitarian aid in the wake of natural disasters is essential. Yet the impacts on rural livelihoods of longer-term environmental pressures should also be recognized. Sustainable development requires policies and programs to help rural residents adapt to weather-related risks. Such responses might include capturing rainfall for irrigation ("rainwater harvesting"), using heat-resistant seed varieties, providing agricultural insurance, and improving weather forecasting.

Things to Consider Before Buying a Best Inexpensive Vacuum
There are various things that you need to consider when shopping for best cheap vacuum cleaners under $100. In this guide we'll take you through some aspects that you should consider before settling for your ultimate within budget vacuum cleaner.
While it's important to get a vacuum cleaner that won't break your budget, you'll want to maintain a certain quality standard. You don't have to compromise on quality when shopping for a best inexpensive vacuum. Many models in the market run below $100 but will not give you the service you want.
While none of the above-reviewed vacuums is going to give you a lifetime service, they'll undoubtedly get the job done without putting holes in your pocket. You want best vacuum cleaner under $100, but not one that you'll have to replace after five months. Price doesn't always reflect the quality of a vac as you can find a model going for $30-$40 and has all the qualities you want.
The size of your home
Every vacuum usually comes with different features, which determines the cleaning area. If you own a big house, then you'll need a vacuum cleaner with pretty powerful suction. Also, you'll need to consider things like battery life and cord length.
You don't want to move up and down, plugging and unplugging the power socket. A durable battery ensures that your vac is constantly powered for longer cleaning time. Regular charging might interfere with the quality of your machine.
Vacuum Type and Features
It is crucial that you check on vacuum type before buying. If you can't clean your floor surfaces by bending, then you can choose an upright model. Robotic vacuums are ideal for small carpet floors with hidden corners and edges. Other features that you may want to check are bagless, HEPA, the capability of removing pet hairs and others.
Go for a bagless model
If you want to keep maintenance costs down, then you'll probably want a bagless canister vacuum featuring washable and reusable filters. This is the most effective way to go over long-term costs. Always look for cyclonic suction when buying bagless vacuums as this feature helps in preserving filters and maintaining suction. The cyclonic suction prevents finer debris and particles from entering filters.
Choose a vacuum with a powerful motor
You want to spend your money where it really counts, that's on the motor. The power of a vacuum motor determines its suction. Most best vacuum for under $150 designed to compete with high-end models usually feature the same features and attachments as their expensive counterparts.
However, they're mostly under-powered. With sufficient suction, your vacuum cleaner can work on nearly any floor surface. So, always ensure you get as much sheer power as possible. Go for a machine with much power to give you decent suction.
Keep your flooring in mind
Depending on whether you have a carpeted floor, tiled floor, hardwood or all the three, you'll need a different vacuum type. We highly recommend that you choose a product that performs a decent job on each floor type. Depending on whether you have hardwoods, carpets, tile, or all three in your flooring, you'll need a different type of vacuum.
We recommend getting a vacuum that can do a decent job on all of them. If you have carpeted floors, you need powered beater brushes that can dig into carpet filters to get rid of hair and dirt. For hardwoods, look for a vac with soft bristles that protects your floor from scratches as you clean.
FAQs About Best Budget Vacuums
The following are some of the frequently asked questions by new users, planning to buy best affordable vacuum.
How often should I change my vacuum cleaner bag?
Change your cleaner bag immediately it is filled to the indicator line. Even though some vacuum cleaners come with check bag indicator lights, we recommended that you check the bag by yourself and change it before it reaches three-quarters full.
You should change the bag more often if you vacuum fireplace ashes or if you own a pet. Always check the dirt level in your vacuum bag before every use, just to be on the safer side.
How often should I change the vacuum filters?
You don't need to replace your vacuum filter as often as cleaner bag. You only need to replace if it's excessively dirty or damaged. HEPA filters responsible for removing dirt particles need to be replaced after every 6 months. You can use your device manual to locate the vac filter and search for the best model options available.
What's the difference between an upright and a canister vacuum?
Canister vacs are generally more versatile than upright models. However, both are great in handling carpet cleaning, cleaning of bare wooden floors, vacuuming stairs, sucking up dirt from hidden edges and corners.
Is it safe to use powder fresheners with a vacuum cleaner?
There's nothing wrong with using powders provided you have a good vacuum cleaner. You however need to ensure that your canister bag is clean. These powders can cause your bag to clog, which will force you to change regularly.
Final Verdict
Why should you pay more for a vac machine when there are quality models out there at relatively cheaper prices? In this article, we've reviewed what we believe to be some of the best value budget vacuum cleaners under 100 dollars. Price is a significant factor when making any purchase.
While most high-end vacuum cleaners retail at around $300 or even more, there are a variety of inexpensive models out there. You can find a vacuum cleaner selling for under $100 but has similar capabilities with the expensive counterparts. However, you should be careful with the vac model you choose, as there are plenty of low-quality vacuum cleaners within this price range. We recommend Bissell 9595a Vacuum With Onepass (Best overall).
Just because you're shopping on a budget doesn't mean that you should compromise on the quality. Always make sure you get something that's up to all your cleaning tasks. Just ensure that you're focusing on the right factors before buying and read customer reviews on authentic buying sites to get an insight of the models that you prefer.

The East Kentwood Falcons and West Ottawa Panthers have been two of the most explosive offenses in the OK Conference so far this season. Many expected this matchup of OK Red leaders to be an offensive shootout. These folks would be halfway correct as East Kentwood topped 50 points for the third straight contest. A surprise to many however would be that the Falcons defense would intercept Isaac Van Dyk twice and hold the Panthers to just seven points in a 56-7 defeat.
This game was a blowout from the beginning as the Falcons scored the first fifty-six points of the ball game. They were led by a strong game from quarterback Kyle Dent. Dent finished the game 10/16 for 148 yards and 3 touchdowns. He also recorded 12 carries for 83 yards and another touchdown. Two of these touchdown passes went to Ryel Daye who hauled in five total catches for 83 yards.
Star tailback Kionte Blakely had another stellar night for Kentwood as he had just 11 carries but he racked up 113 yards and two touchdowns. He also returned a kickoff 85 yards for a touchdown.
Late in this contest, West Ottawa finally scored when Van Dyk found Blake Bosma for a 13 yard touchdown pass. Van Dyk finished this one 7/16 for just 54 yards and a touchdown. The highlight for West Ottawa offensively was Max Voet, who had fifteen carries for 124 yards.
East Kentwood is now 3-1 on the year and 2-0 in the OK Red. Next week, they have a huge conference matchup against Grandville. West Ottawa now also is 3-1 on the season and 1-1 in the Red. They will travel to Caledonia next week in an OK Red contest.

Rose dental...Lovely setup, Lovely staff and I highly reccommend!
"Rose Dental"!... What more can I say? The word "Rose" speak for itself. I unfortunately been to a lot of dentist dealing with my dental issues as well as dental billing issues from other dentist. Rose dentist was able to provide me with the proper information, dental care and a "peace" of mind that most dentist had no knowledge of doing so. Dr Zina is very well knowledgeable and when you have a concern about any dental information she will answer it and if she don't know the answer she will find it for you with the upmost accuracy. Dr Zina Staff as well are wonderful... Sara for example is definitely on point and applies her customer service as well as any other knowledge for Rose dental patients she acquires. Sara is very pleasant and always greets you with this adorable smile. I always say, "she must be advertising for *Rose Dental* with that smile". Now Joan will definitely multitask with her skillful dental assistance and keeping you company as well with her charming ways of making you feel right at home. Bella!!! I don't know why but I feel like Bella is the heart of *Rose dental*... Need I say more? Nevertheless ,To The Rose dental staff... Thank you so much for all you have done and you are all definitely "ROSES"! Sincerely, Tyrone Clinton

Detailed, very professional, very friendly, great experience
The offices were beautiful -- hardwood floors & bright colors (reconstruction of a former house) with state-of-the-art equipment and computer screens so that you (as a patient) could actually see what the dentist was seeing during the examination. Every member of the staff, including all professionals, were friendly and genuinely happy to have you there. The cleaning and the exam were thorough with full explanations for dental care (by patient) and future planned dental work (by dentist).

Preeminent Experience
The staff was extremely friendly. Bella, the office manager, was amazingly sincere and genuinely interested in ensuring I was comfortable. Just when I thought it couldn't get better, in walks in Dr. Aranbayeva. She was interested in solving the issue while ensuring I was comfortable and knowledgeable on what next steps were. She checked to ensure I was pain free during the procedure and even called me to check on my pain level. I have found my dentist for life! Thank you!

On 09/28/17 was my first visit. I had a minor emergency of getting my crown that fell off taken care of. I called and they got me in within a few hours. The staff is friendly and professional. Made me feel as if they just hadn't seen me in a while even though it was my first visit. They explained procedures thoroughly. Willing to work with you financially if need be. Office was clean. I have already recommended Rose Dental and her staff to a co-worker who if a bit skittish about seeing a dentist. I believe Dr. Aaron and her staff will completely put her at ease. Will definitely continue to recommend and I will be a repeat customer.

SAN JOSE, Calif., March 8, 2015 – God Bless Dr. Benjamin Carson. Dr. Carson, the retired Johns Hopkins neurosurgeon and potential GOP candidate for a run at the presidency, recently raised a minor political maelstrom again with comments regarding his views on homosexuality. He had not stirred up such a commotion across the nation since the 2013 National Prayer Breakfast, when Carson spoke out strongly against the dangers of "political correctness." At that time he said that, "PC is dangerous because it puts a muzzle on people from discussing important issues while the fabric of this nation is being changed."
As if by way of practical demonstration and in proving his point a little over two years later, he has stirred controversy to the point of having both the likes of Glenn Beck and Vice President Joe Biden devoting their attention to Carson's words, both uttering their own disparaging remarks regarding Dr. Carson. Yet Carson's statement, part of a pre-recorded statement that was conveniently set up to neglect the entire context of his interview, has been jumped upon by both the Democrats and the Conservatives, as well as the professional political pundits and self-proclaimed prophets of doom. Many of this politically enlightened class do not credit Carson's chances of being taken seriously for the GOP nomination for POTUS.
Joe Biden has attacked Dr. Carson and his comments. However, Biden and many others may have forgotten President Obama's infamous pre-recorded interview in late January of this year with GloZell Green, appearing in a bathtub of milk and cereal. At that time, Obama said that homosexuals make a "lifestyle choice" with their sexuality. Of course, when Obama says something like this it is perfectly acceptable, but the hypocrisy of the Democrats and the Left is absolutely astounding.
Related: Dr. Ben Carson and his strides toward replacing the Democrat agenda
And Dr. Carson, concerned about the fabric of this nation being changed is the one who stands out as the one out of step. People who are paying attention have trouble with such a blatant double standard.
The "Rev." Joe Biden, of course, is not a minister (far from it) or a paragon of virtue – especially when it comes to his own church's perceptions of many social issues. In his own book, "Promises to Keep," he proclaims, "My idea of self, of family, of community, of the wider world comes straight from my religion. It's not so much the Bible, the beatitudes, the Ten Commandments, the sacraments, or the prayers I learned. It's the culture." Any good person of conscience could conclude that if Joe Biden is trying to mount the moral high ground, he is going to have a long hike.
Ironically, the Democrats and many of their leaders are well out of the scope of moral virtue as defined, not by culture, but by holy writings from genuine religious movements and traditional religions. If a perceptive student of history remembers, as recent as the 2012 election cycle, Democrats were making a serious attempt to remove God from their platform. Changes regarding replacing the words "God" and "Jerusalem" in their official party platform only came after Republicans (most likely the conservative arm) took time publicly criticizing the opposition party for removing the words, while it appeared that a majority at the Democratic Convention disapproved of putting such "incendiary" words back into their platform.
At this time, despite being criticized for not being strong enough against the Obama agenda, Mitt Romney stated that taking God out of the Democratic Party platform was evidence that the party was "veering further and further away into an extreme wing that Americans don't recognize." In actuality, what Romney said in 2012 is more recognizable in 2015 as evidenced in the milk and cereal interview of the president of the United States. It seems that it will continue to be so. The Democrats have stitched together so many fringe elements under their umbrella that what appears to be a major political party is a party of older, die-hard, "dyed in the wool" Democrats, serious leftists and socialists, and younger people with incredible ideals but of little faith, except that proclaimed by the Rev. Joe Biden, et al.
On the other side of the political spectrum, the following of Glenn Beck witnessed a parallel expression of antagonism towards Dr. Carson's words. While it may be true that in the world within the boundaries of the political arena, there are those like Glenn Beck who have taken this recent opportunity to publicly write off Dr. Carson's viable chances in the race to become president in 2016, it never is that straightforward in the political arena. If one looks carefully at Beck's previous pronouncements on the air regarding Dr. Carson, he had never really jumped on the bandwagon of support for the good doctor. From a broader scope, it appears as if Glenn Beck saw an opportunity to further emphasize his personal opinion regarding Carson, which seems to be that Carson is not his favorite candidate.
What this series of incidences have in common is that they fundamentally prove that Dr. Carson is correct in his assessment of political correctness. The events speak for themselves, as well as the political fallout stemming from Dr. Carson's words. Being politically incorrect as Dr. Carson has proven himself to be, and the recent ensuing attacks against him for speaking his opinions, serves as the very examples of what he has warned against two years ago.
Related: Ben Carson promises a decision by May 1 (video)
This could be one of the most insidious forms of attack upon First Amendment rights in our country's history. In essence, Americans can only talk about freedom of speech or the right of freedom of the press. Carson's depiction of the muzzlling of political correctness is a reality.
To trample upon one's ability to express a desire for open dialogue on controversial issues is reminiscent of the gag order to suppress discussion of slavery in the halls of Congress several years before the outbreak of the Civil War. Intelligent leaders of the U.S. Congress were stifled in any genuine attempts to bring such a discussion concerning the evils of slavery out into the light of rational discussion. It seems that this is the exact type of danger concerns Dr. Carson. Of course, in that time period, it was the Democrats who were stifling public debate via legal decree. With PC, it is far easier with a lapdog media subservient to the party line.
It seems that today, the conceptualization of political correctness is for all practical purposes a gag order for intelligent people to have rational discussion on controversial issues. Again, at the heart of this reality are the Democrats. Insidious, yet effective. It seems that today, Democrat leaders in the government at all levels advocate such political correctness. It seems that today the mainstream media falls into lockstep harmony with the tunes of political correctness. It is much easier for the big business of the media elites, primarily sympathetic to the Democrats and dependent upon them for their talking points, to tell Americans how to think about anything from what soap to use to which candidates for political office to trust. It seems that is exactly why millions of Americans support Dr. Carson – he is fighting for freedom of speech!

The Double Reverse
It's fourth and long. The Lions flag football team is pinned deep at their own end of the field. The undefeated season is on the line. The fans, parents, are on edge. Coach Holmes knows it is time – time to call the double reverse.
Seven year olds running the double reverse? I helped with practice earlier that morning. I watched Coach Holmes drill the team over and over. "We've going to keeping doing it until we get it right," he implores. And once they hit perfection, he had them do it one more time.
But now, it is different. This is real life. Game time. Season on the line. The players feel the pressure. The opponent has the momentum. Can this really work? It all depends on execution.
We plan. We train. When it is time, we must execute. We frequently see examples of this in Ironman racing. A well trained athlete with a solid race plan some how fails to follow his nutrition strategy. Or bikes to hard. Or, fails to properly prepare her transition bag. It all comes down to execution.
In racing, in life, in flag football, and in all we do, we must execute our strategies in order to fully succeed. All the planning, all the preparation, all the work, ultimately come down to execution. Strategies executed to perfection result in individual and collective success, satisfaction, and fulfillment.
So, back to the Lions. The quarterback takes the snap. The first handoff is perfect. The defense is not fooled and follows the first reverse. We are all tense….I knew what was coming. The last handoff – perfect! The ball carrier turns the corner to a wide open field. Coach Holmes smiles. The double reverse is executed to precision.
The Lions go on in win in a close game, well-played by both teams. After the game the Lions line up for photos to remember their undefeated season. Perfect execution.
Executing the Strategies,

Are you sitting comfortably? Then I shall begin. Once-upon-a-time there was a person who told a story. That person could be you.
Storytelling is more than just reading out a story that you have written. Stories define us and help us explore the world. They enable us to look at old things in new ways. The storyteller is the artist that guides us on the story's journey.
Since the first people sat around the first campfire, stories have been told. Although it is an ancient tradition, storytelling is still relevant today. Why do you thing films, books, and computer games exist? Stories are part of who we are.
Everyone has at least one story in them waiting to get be let out. Some of us, have many, many stories. Sometimes that is what drives us to become writers.
Jonathan Gottschall calls us the storytelling animal. In many ways we are, we live in stories. We create stories. We define our world with stories.
Professional Storytelling
Have you considered becoming not just a writer but a storyteller? Perhaps a professional storyteller?
The Society for Storytelling has a number of excellent resources including a guide to Becoming a Professional Storyteller and Telling Tales: A beginners Guide to Telling Stories.
What Great Storytellers Know with Matt Chan is a TEDx video that takes a novel look at storytelling.
If you decide to set up a storytelling event then the Society for Storytelling has a guide on Promoting Storytelling Events. Members of our charity can expect our full support in promoting local events and storytelling is no exception. We'd be delighted to get behind local storytelling events.
Next year, National Storytelling Week takes place from January 27th to 3rd February. So there is plenty of time to plan something (if you want to).
Talking of running events, have you considered setting up a Storytelling club or monthly storytelling gathering? Again, members of our charity can expect our full support in promoting such an event and the Society for Storytelling has guidance on Organising a Storytelling Club.
After all, we are wired for stories, says Lisa Cron.
Have you considered storytelling?

If a trip to a ski lodge is in the near future, it is time to start thinking about what to pack. Many novice and novice skiers wonder what they should take with them for their skiing holiday. And the packing list may require a trip to an outdoor store. At extreme temperatures, the main goal is to stay warm, dry and safe. And because you consume a lot of energy, you want to stay hydrated and keep your energy level up.
Led to a ski hut? Here is your shopping list:
1. Waterproof clothing. First of all you have to go to a ski hut and the temperatures are more likely than you expect. In addition to the typical items you can think of, such as heavy sweaters, hats and gloves, you should buy items such as waterproof socks in wool blend, waterproof ski jackets, gloves and pants to stay comfortable during long periods of activity on the slopes.
2. Ski socks. Ski socks are waterproof and help keep your feet warm and dry. They also offer extra stuff that you will be grateful for once you tackle the bumps and turns of the ski slope.
3. Neckerchief. A neck cover is a tube that is worn around your neck and can also be rolled over your mouth to protect you from the wind and cold during skiing or snowboarding. It may not be as fashionable as a scarf, but once you are exposed to the cold temperatures, you are glad that you have it.
4. Long underwear. To keep you warm, you want to dress in layers, including long panties or long underwear.
5. Ski equipment. You need poles, boots and skis, but you can rent these items at your destination. However, you may want to buy a ski goggles – which can be useful when it starts snowing – and grab a helmet and stuff for your trip.
6. Snacks. Do not forget that skiing is physically demanding! You want to keep your energy level up to standard by eating healthy snacks. Items such as pretzels, fruit and cereal bars, dried fruit and vegetables and nuts are great options to have on hand.
7. Drink backpack. It is important to stay hydrated while skiing and hydration packages are a good option if you accidentally take a water break. Hydration packs can be worn comfortably on your back and you can drink easily while you are active. Do not forget to refill them during your breaks!
8. Moisturizer. The winter is cold and dry. Pack a moisturizer for your face and body to keep your skin healthy and comfortable. You also want to buy a lip balm with sunscreen to moisten your lips in the right way and protect them from the sun.
9. Sunscreen. The risk of overexposure to the UV radiation from the sun is increased for skiers because of higher altitudes and UV rays that are reflected by the snow. To prevent an increased risk of sun damage and skin cancer, sunscreen should always be used during outdoor activities, even skiing!
10. Hand warmers. Hand warmers are small disposable containers that provide heat on request. They can be activated by air, a solution or on batteries and vary in stand-by for a period of one to ten hours.

National chain saves big with a simple servingware update
With food costs on the rise and pressure from their customer base not to raise menu prices, one national chain of buffet restaurants was looking for ways to cut food costs.
The search for savings took place, in part, during The NAFEM Show 2013, during which representatives from the chain discovered a line of mini stainless steel fry pans. New to the marketplace, the pans were developed to enhance the presentation of small, individual food servings – a trend in servingware that has maintained momentum across the industry.
Discussions commenced about how the pan might be able to not only boost buffet aesthetics, but also possibly cut down on the amount of food that customers heaped onto their trays. As with most buffet concepts, customers of the chain served themselves from large pans of food – contributing to a significant amount of uneaten food (and unnecessary food costs). Reps from the chain were intrigued at the prospect of less waste – and decided to move forward with a 12-store test. During the trial period, stores would serve two of the chain's most popular dishes, lasagna and chicken, in 3 oz. portions in the mini stainless steel fry pans.
(watch the video below)
The test results were staggering. Not only did the chain receive high marks from its customers on the new food presentation, but it also cut food costs significantly. As expected, reps from the chain noticed a large reduction in the amount of food customers were taking but not finishing. What's more, the pre-portioned pan servings made for less food being placed on the buffet at a time than before, leading to less waste due to food sitting for too long (and having to be discarded for safety reasons).
After the successful trial, executives at the chain wasted no time rolling out the mini pan system-wide – resulting in a 30 percent cost reduction in food costs for the items served in the pans; initial savings quickly covered the $250,000 investment the chain made in the new servingware.
This chain found a game-changer in a tiny serving pan at The NAFEM Show. Read about other E&S Success Stories that will be on display at The NAFEM Show, Feb. 7-9, 2019 in Orlando, Fla.

Missouri and Hillsdale College in legal fight over bequest
July 21, 2019
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — A small Michigan college with well-known conservative supporters is suing the University of Missouri over a multi-million bequest designed to promote an economic theory that espouses free markets and argues the government's only role should be to defend people and property.
Hillsdale College is a conservative liberal arts college in southern Michigan, with about 1,500 students. The college calls itself a "nonsectarian Christian Institution" and takes no state of federal funding, which allows it to avoid government mandates such as affirmative action or Title IX requir...

In true Self fashion, I am a month behind in getting Jenna her monthly mantra — but what's a girl to do, right? I mean, I made a pretty for her, so we're all good :)
My favorite and best mentor/teacher in college would say this to us all the time, "use the KISS method — keep it simple, stupid." It's stuck with me through the years and I cannot help but think of it everyday as I work. It's a pretty good thing to live by too, I love simplifying — albeit that is difficult sometimes :)
Welcome to my favorite holiday of the year! I hope you are all celebrating in your red, white and blue — I will be wearing my American flag suspenders, for sure! Happy 4th!
I realized that I do a lot of work and forget to share it :) I designed this logo a while back for a local wedding planner. But let's get real, she's my cousin and she's awesome. If she had a website, I would link to it, but alas, it is not complete. I will be in due time and I will be sure to post again about it — shameless family-promotion.
I don't have much to say today — just that this kitty was super cute, and she's Portugeses, so I love her. And that my week was full of making art (yay! I finally want to make art again!) and patterns and I really enjoyed all of that.
My dear friend Jenna has a motto each month — this month is was You Only Live Once. I've been wanting to make her a little something for her monthly-motto for some time now, so now was the time. And hey, maybe I'll consider blogging again too! Just maybe. No promises ;-)
This is a very rare and extremely desirable piece of art. If you are interested in purchasing, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. The price will be disclosed at that time. Thank you.

Coloring the Six-Day Feast
The beginnings of coloration on the icon panel of "Ptah-Sokar-Ausir"~ an original Kemetic icon by master iconographer Ptahmassu Nofra-Uaa/ Panel 1 of The Sacred West Triptych
Today marks the First Quarter Moon, known to the Ancients as the Six-Day Feast- observing the passing of six days after the initiation of the lunar cycle on New Moon day. This day begins the "Filling of the Wedjat Eye", that is, the steady expansion of lunar light which reaches its maximum capacity on the day of the Full Moon. Between today and January 23rd, the Netjeru associated with the lunar cycle each grant a portion of sacred power to the construction or "filling" of the Wedjat Eye, the reservoir of sacred power that may be channeled into endeavors of the temple or shrine. Any activity conducted during these seven days will be granted the empowerment of the Wedjat Eye's glorious expansion.
I am currently in the process of layering color on my icon of Ptah-Sokar-Ausir, having begun with the Netjer's sacred eye and working my way outward in a clockwise manner. Coloration and the actual manner in which it is accomplished are governed by a strict ritual protocol in which each action of bringing a divine image to life is treated as a holy act. Color (iwen) is holy within itself, as each color embodies the specific qualities of a deity's manifestation in the natural world- a reflection of the Gods as tangible, visible powers (bau).
All of the principal colors I use in my icons are precious natural mineral pigments like lapis lazuli, amethyst, jadeite, and garnet. These substances are close to the Gods because they are naturally occurring, and thus retain the spiritual properties absorbed by their evolution in the earth. Their colors are also hallmarks of the Gods, and any consecrated object composed of their qualities will naturally attract the Gods to it, thereby solidifying its presence as a sacral vehicle.
Thus far, Ptah-Sokar-Ausir's sparrowhawk/ falcon face, tripartite headdress, and Atef crown have been brought to the brink of completion; though certain shading and highlighting details remain. My readers will see in the accompanying pictures the raised relief gilded ring that forms an unmistakable solar attribute of the Netjer's Atef crown with its twisted golden ram's horns. This feature is the future setting for a spectacular fire opal, which interestingly enough has a natural iridescent pattern resembling the markings of the Wedjat Eye.

Lack of enough nutrients in the body has been known to be root of several health conditions. When a person's body fails to properly absorb the nutrients that it requires, due to presence of nutrient depletions, their immune system will be weakened making them prone to diseases.
Antioxidants protect one's body from reactive oxygen species such as hydrogen peroxide which may otherwise affect their body's health. Deficiency of Selenium, which is one of these antioxidants, can lead to Hashimoto's. Low levels of antioxidants can expose the body to hydrogen peroxide when iodine is processed which can damage the thyroid. Other antioxidants include vitamin E, Vitamin C, manganese and beta-carotene.
Stomach acid deficiency interferes with the body's ability to digest nutrients such as proteins. This will eventually lead to decreased levels of iron, zinc, amino acids and any other nutrients retrieved from proteins. The affected person may experience a number of symptoms when their body is in such a situation especially after taking meals that are rich in proteins. Some of these symptoms include heartburn, gas, bloating and a heavy stomach especially after meals.
There are medications such as Pepsin and Betaine that can help the body increase the production of digestive acid. Apple cider vinegar and lemon juice have also been found to be useful in the increase of stomach acid. However, it won't be necessary to take any medications or remedies once the body resumes its normal acid production.
B12 deficiency can also result to Hashimoto's and low production of stomach acid. Lack of B12 in the body can also lead to a number of other health conditions such as indigestion, anemia, inflammation and underdevelopment of the villi which acts as storage for digestive enzymes. B12 play a role in digestion through an enzyme in the stomach known as protease and hydrochloric acid. B12 supplements are often recommended to vegetarians since they are normally found in fish, meat and dairy products.
It is important to support the digestive system and make sure it functions properly since it is a waste to eat proper meals yet the much needed nutrients cannot be extracted from them.
