Man Is Told He'll Never Recover From Injury – Now He's Proving Everyone Wrong By Traveling 2,300 Miles in a Wheelchair
Back in 2006, Janne Kouri suffered a spinal cord injury that resulted in him being paralyzed from the neck down. He was then told by doctor after doctor that he would never recover from the injury and would not live a normal life, but Janne was determined to prove everyone wrong.
After two months of rehabilitation, Janne moved back to Los Angeles and immediately started the nonprofit organization called NextStep Fitness, and he has dedicated himself to helping paralyzed folks ever since. One year after his own injury, Janne opened his first state-of-the-art fitness and rehabilitation facility in Los Angeles. He has since opened locations all over the country in cities like Phoenix, Atlanta, Kansas City, Orlando, Raleigh, and Las Vegas.
Janne is currently on the adventure of a lifetime as he is traveling over 2,300 miles from the west coast to the east in his wheelchair.
"It's been an adventure and I'm having the time of my life," he said of the "Rise For Paralysis" trip. "Just having the opportunity to see the country from a unique perspective is amazing. We've met so many wonderful people and great organizations along the way, it's been more than I could have ever hoped for."
To make this journey, Janne has been using a Permobil chair and a Bowhead, which is a special bike created for those with paralysis. He is hoping that his trip will show the world that people who are paralyzed can still live adventurous lives.
Highlights of Janne's trip so far include throwing out the first pitch of a Cincinnati Reds game; rolling into a stadium with Rumble the Bison to deliver a half-court basketball in Oklahoma City; meeting with wounded veterans and team members from the Wounded Warriors Project in Phoenix, Arizona; and speaking to physical and occupational therapy students at the University of Tennessee. He has raised over $290,000 so far, and his goal is to raise $500,000 by the time he reaches his alma mater of Georgetown University, on May 15th.
Find out more about his incredible journey in the video below!

An enthusiastic Leonardo DiCaprio tells me that Jack Nicholson is joining him and Matt Damon in Martin Scorsese's "The Departed" for WB, starting in April. Nicholson would play an Irish gang boss while the younger duo are opposing undercover cops. A femme costar is yet to be chosen to play a cop psychiatrist, Leo said. Nicholson tells me the role "could be interesting," and admits he's been "looking for a bad guy -- I did three comedies." And hasn't been in front of the cameras for almost two years. He's met with both Leo and Marty with whom he's been friends "for many years and we'd been looking for something to do together." And he worked with Matt Damon on a charity benefit show. As for playing a Boston Irishman, Nicholson laughs, "I won't have to act much".
Scorsese said he'll also meet with Leo this afternoon to talk their next pic, "The Departed" for WB, starting in April. "For me to do another gangster movie -- it had to be something special," and Scorsese admits the William Monahan script about the Boston Irish is indeed "special." Matt Damon co-stars and a top femme cop role is open.
Tattle was chatting yesterday with lovely Eva Mendes ("Out of Time") and brought up the topic of gossip to the woman who was identified in many places, as Matt Damon's girlfriend. (Mendes is in "Hitch," opening Feb. 11, and it's good.) How much of the gossip, we wondered, was true.
"I read everything about myself," Eva said, "and there's nothing true so far that's been written about me."
"As far as gossip... . I think I read that Kate Hepburn said once that she'd only care what was written about her if it was true, and I have to say that I agree with that kind of mentality."
What about that whole Matt Damon thing?
"That's not true."
That's not true?
"That's not true. And it never was. We're very dear friends and we'd all go out together and no one would mention his girlfriend or my boyfriend. They'd just mention us. That's how it works."
Well, ain't that a kick in the teeth.

CCBF is the only book fair fully dedicated to books for children aged 0-16 years in the Asia-Pacific region, and is a major hub of rights activity for children's literature. The focus of this delegation is to increase opportunities for Australian children's authors by providing access via their representatives to China's growing market for children's books.

The Australia Council will support delegates with $2,500 each towards the cost of attending. Supported delegates will be responsible for all costs associated with attending the fair including flights, insurance, visas, accommodation, freight and registration. We will hire and coordinate branding of a shared stand for the Australian delegation to use at the fair. Prior to the fair, CCBF organise the Shanghai Visiting International Publishers Project (SHVIP) a fellowship project exclusively dedicated to children's publishing. SHVIP takes place in Shanghai from 11-16 November. The program offers a small group of participants the opportunity to gain detailed insight into China's publishing landscape and visit CCBF from an exclusive perspective. CCBF manage the selection of delegates for SHVIP. Applications for SHVIP close 24 June 2019, via the CCBF website.

A combination of pressures prompted Derby City Council to review its on-premise data centre strategy in 2015.
Lack of cyber security expertise within the NHS
A new survey of NHS trusts has revealed a large disparity in cyber security skills and spending across the NHS, with most trusts lacking sufficient in-house cyber security expertise.
The three-month Freedom of Information campaign, undertaken by Redscan, surveyed more than 150 NHS trusts in the UK and reveals a wide imbalance in employee cyber security training and spending between trusts, with a worrying number of NHS trusts likely to be failing to meet training targets on information governance.
The investigation shows that NHS trusts employ just one qualified security professional on average per 2,582 employees, although 24 out of 108 responding trusts having no employees with security qualifications.
With NHS trusts spending an average of £5,356 on data security training, the findings also reveal a significant proportion of NHS organisations conducted such training in-house at no cost or only used free NHS Digital training tools. The variation in spend, which ranged from £238 to £78,000, was also exemplified by the fact that only 12 per cent of trusts had met the NHS Digital mandatory information governance (IG) training requirements that 95 per cent of all staff must pass IG training every 12 months. A quarter of trusts had trained less than 80 per cent of their staff.
Mark Nicholls, Redscan director of Cyber Security, said: "These findings shine a light on the cyber security failings of the NHS, which is struggling to implement a cohesive security strategy under difficult circumstances. Individual trusts lack in-house cyber security talent and many are falling short of training targets; while investment in security and data protection training is patchy at best. The extent of discrepancies is alarming, as some NHS organisations are far better resourced, funded and trained than others.
"The cyber security skills gap continues to grow and it's incredibly hard for organisations across all sectors to find enough people with the right knowledge and experience. It's even tougher for the NHS, which must compete with the private sector's bumper wages. Not to mention the fact that trusts outside of traditional tech hubs like London and Cambridge have a smaller talent pool from which to choose from."

Chelsea against Arsenal. One of the most anticipated fixtures in English football. From a fan's perspective, THAT Wayne Bridge goal and THAT 6-0 victory on Arsene Wenger's 1000th game all provide fond memories of the occasion. However, the Gunners fans appear determined to overshadow what is sure to be a great game of football with protests against their penny-pinching board.
The Arsenal hierarchy are renown for tightening their belts and leaving Wenger short. After all, the Frenchman has recently confirmed that the club offered a measly £92M in exchange for AS Monaco sensation Thomas Lemar, as reported in the Daily Mail.
The infamous 'DT', a regular on Arsenal Fan TV, has revealed that the Arsenal faithful are set to stage a protest against Stan Kroenke at some point during their visit to Stamford Bridge in two weeks time.
There is another much bigger protest planned against Kroenke, cannot reveal details yet until given the all clear.
— MR DT © (@MrDtAFC) 3 September 2017
There is a time and place for this kind of thing, against one of your arch-rivals in a game that could have serious significance in your season is probably not either of those. Though, Arsenal fans do not appear to be deterred. Twitter user @southerngooner has provided further insight into the nature of the protest, posting a photo of a bunch of fake £50 notes with Wenger's face on.

If you're planning on grabbing a post-match pie and mash in SW6, we doubt that the cafes and restaurants in the surrounding area will consider these notes legal tender. It's worth a try, though…

Taxing college endowments will make higher education less affordable
What George J. Mitchell says below is broadly reasonable but he fails to address the fact that many colleges have become Madrassas of the Left. That is a considerable betrayal of their mission and Republican legislatures have noticed. So special treatment of the colleges is harder to justify -- and taxing them is a sign of that. The tax is small so far but colleges would be wise to see it as a shot across the bows
Growing up in a small town in Maine, I never thought we would arrive at a time where the value of a college education — long the hope of everyone who wanted more for their children — would be questioned by some Americans, including by some of our government officials.
Nothing was more important to my parents, who had no education themselves and very little in the way of material resources. My mother was an immigrant. My father was the orphan son of immigrants. They were right about the power of education, and because of them and because of the openness of American society, all five of their children graduated from college; I was able to become majority leader of the US Senate and to engage in activities of which they could not possibly have ever dreamed.
My path in life is linked directly to my education and to the people who assisted me along the way. That's why, since leaving the Senate, I have worked to ensure that students in Maine with the talent and ambition to go to college have a helping hand that will allow them to get there and to thrive. It's also why the current doubt by some about the value of higher education is so deeply troubling.
Today, our colleges and universities — the engines of opportunity, economic growth, and scientific discovery in America — are under fire for any number of asserted transgressions. Most of all, they are criticized for being too expensive and for not controlling costs. Tuition and fees have certainly increased, and that is a legitimate concern. But so have the funds set aside by our nation's strongest colleges and universities for financial aid. In fact, during the past decade, the actual price at many of these institutions — the amount paid by students after financial aid is factored in — has closely tracked inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index.
These colleges and universities are following through on their commitment to low-income and first-generation college students and to diversity of all kinds. And they are doing it with endowment resources provided by donors who understand the immense value of higher education and who restrict their gifts for this purpose.
Concerns about cost were clearly behind the recent move by Congress to impose an unprecedented and self-defeating new tax on the endowment earnings of our most respected colleges and universities. But this tax makes no sense. It hampers efforts to make college affordable for students who would be unable to attend without financial aid.
I was one of those students when I was admitted to Bowdoin College. I graduated from high school at the age of 16, insecure, uncertain, and as naive as a human being can be. It was only because of the generosity of others that I was able to enroll and graduate four years later. I have no doubt that Bowdoin changed my life. In addition to learning from great professors across the curriculum, I gained resilience, the ability to think critically, empathy for others, how to adapt to change, and how to take advantage of new opportunities — abilities that are considerably more important today. Most important, for the first time in my life I gained a measure of self-confidence.
There is nothing wrong with holding our institutions accountable, and some recent criticism of our colleges and universities is surely warranted. But reasonable accountability is a far cry from the astonishing views, revealed in recent polls, that these institutions are having a negative effect on America or that a college degree isn't worth the cost. Without our colleges and universities and the opportunity they provide, America would be unrecognizable.
The good news is that these schools are seeing record applications, partially because of the aid and opportunity they provide and also because Americans from every corner of our country and from every circumstance know — as my parents did — that higher education changes lives. Rather than disparaging our colleges and universities and imposing new taxes, we should acknowledge and celebrate the central role they continue to play in the American dream and in the strength of American society. We can do so by making college available to more of the talented young men and women who want to improve themselves and their country.
Repealing Gun-Free School Zones Act Would Make Schools Safer, Kentucky Lawmaker Says
Schools would be better protected from mass shootings if federal legislation enacted in 1990 that bans guns from school zones is repealed, a Kentucky congressman says.
"I have used the statistic on 'Meet the Press' Sunday that 98 percent of mass public shootings happen in gun-free zones, and I believe that we should put our children in the category of the 2 percent, instead of the 98 percent," Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., told The Daily Signal in a phone interview Thursday. "We should put them in the category which is much less likely for them to be engaged by a shooter."
The Crime Prevention Research Center found that from the 1950s through July 10, 2016, 98.4 percent of mass shootings have happened in gun-free zones, The Blaze reported.
Massie, who was first elected to the House in 2012, says he has introduced his repeal bill the first week of Congress of each term he has served and says it would help solve the school shooting epidemic.
"All of the naysayers don't even look at the data that we already have, because if they did, they would see that the scenarios they are worried about—for instance, a teacher shooting a student, or a student taking a teacher's gun, or a cop showing up and shooting a teacher—those don't happen," Massie said, "but what does happen is that these kids are safer, and these mass shootings don't happen in the schools where the teachers carry and the public knows that the teachers carry."
The 1990 law, called the Gun-Free School Zones Act, makes it "unlawful for any individual knowingly to possess a firearm at a place that the individual knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, is a school zone," according to Massie's website.
The Kentucky lawmaker hopes his legislation, the Safe Students Act, will gain traction as the gun control debate heats up in the wake of the Feb. 14 Parkland, Florida, high school shooting that left 17 dead.
President Donald Trump voiced support Wednesday at a bipartisan meeting of lawmakers for arming teachers.
"I was mostly appalled by the meeting yesterday, and the president's comments, but at least he did repeat that statistic that 98 percent of mass public shootings happen in gun-free zones, and I mean, there's no better argument for repealing the 1990 Gun-Free Zone Act than that statistic," Massie said.
The Kentucky lawmaker said his state is leading the way on gun measures that keep students safe.
"They're not a problem in the private schools in Kentucky that allow teachers to carry. I talked to a Kentuckian who was in D.C. this week, and he said that he is so glad that his child's school allows teachers to carry, and they can do that because they are a private school," Massie said. "And we just had our first public school in Kentucky vote this week to allow teachers to carry in their schools."
Hans von Spakovsky, a senior legal fellow at The Heritage Foundation, told The Daily Signal in an email that he recognizes why Massie thinks the Gun-Free School Zones Act should be repealed.
"I understand the sentiment and purpose behind this bill," von Spakovsky said. "Gun-free zones stop law-abiding citizens from being able to defend themselves. They don't stop criminals."
New Poll Shows Major Backing For Teachers Being Armed at School
Over the past two weeks, President Trump and a number of lawmakers have magnified the idea of trained teachers being able to carry concealed firearms inside their classrooms.
"We have to take steps to harden our schools so that they are less vulnerable to attack. This includes allowing well-trained and certified school personnel to carry concealed firearms. At some point, you need volume. I don't know that a school is going to be able to hire a hundred security guards that are armed," Trump said during a meeting with the nation's governors at the White House earlier this week.
Now according to a new Morning Consult/POLITICO poll, the concept has significant backing.
Hundreds of school districts across the country already allow for staff and teachers to carry firearms on campus. In 18 states, adults with legal carry permits are also allowed to carry into schools after being granted permission from administrators.
"Texas authorized schools to adopt policies to implement a school marshal program where individuals would be trained to have a weapon and to be able to use that weapon. And we now have well over a hundred school districts in the state of Texas where teachers or other people who work in the school do carry a weapon, and are trained to be able to respond to an attack that occurs," Texas Governor Greg Abbott said during the White House meeting.
"Now, it's not always a schoolteacher. It could be a coach, it could be an administrator, it could be anybody who works in that school. But it's a well-thought-out program with a lot of training in advance. And, candidly, some school districts, they promote it. Because they will have signs out front -- a warning sign: "Be aware, there are armed personnel on campus" -- warning anybody coming on there that they -- if they attempt to cause any harm, they're going to be in trouble," he continued.
For years, the Ohio based organization Faster Saves Lives has been providing firearms training for teachers free of charge.
FASTER stands for Faculty / Administrator Safety Training & Emergency Response.
Created by concerned parents, law enforcement, and nationally-recognized safety and medical experts, FASTER is a groundbreaking, nonprofit program that gives educators practical violence response training.
Funded by donations, classes are provided at NO COST to your school district!
The program offers a carefully-structured curriculum offering over 26 hours of hands-on training over a 3-day class that exceeds the requirements of the Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy.
The purpose is not to replace police and EMT, but to allow teachers, administrators, and other personnel on-site to stop school violence rapidly and render medical aid immediately.
When violence strikes and students' lives are on the line, every second matters. Faster response is better response.

Great job! I like what you did with the pic, with the wings and the feather floating around, all very nice effects. The sky also looks very cool, i like how on the right the dark fades into a lighter color :) The shooting stars also look nice.
Nice work on this!

Excellent wallie. I love the angel wings and the floating feathers, they're beautiful. Starfield is just right, and I love the transition from fading sunlight to nightime. The fading outline of the city skyline is brilliant! Just visible enough to make it a feature of the wallie but not distract you from the overall wallie. *+favs*
tecnophreak Mar 04, 2005
wow! a wall of this caliber and only 7 favs? for shame people! awesome awesome wall. i would work on blending the planets with the stars better, though. great JOB on the feathers, also. +fav!!!!

Hehe, pretty cool War Of Genesis wallie, tiantito! ^_^' I like your starfield and the two light moons on the left, makes the winged guy more heroic! Also, the character looks so killer, with his badass wings and the mist on the bottom gives great atmosphere! Love it, tiantito! [+ 2 favs] XD
Tirdaelyn Mar 05, 2005
Wow, this is really nice. The wings make an already very good looking Demian look really darn cool. I like the background, it works well with the image. The fog is also a nice added touch. Those wings though, they are utterly beautiful. Amazing. +fav
calisqo Mar 05, 2005
wow ^^ a nice twist on the char there.
The wing looks pretty convincing.
And the bg u did is nice too ^^
The cloud especially
overall nice work ^_^ keep it up
Stolen Mar 05, 2005
I like the star scape with the fact that its not overloaded with hundreds of stars beyond belief...it gives it a nice calmer image of the sky!
i like the smoke/fog that surrounds the man at his feet...its nice, because its been layered and has lots of depth to it, whereas some people who use this effect then to just use one layer, and it looks slightly bizarre. This looks good because he seems to be completely submersed with it!
Its a nice take on a battle of angels idea, and I think that it seems to come off a lot more meaningful than it first appears, and the extraction is good, so it doesn't look dodgy either!
Thank you for submitting it!

All-day restaurant Portland set to launch in the New Year
Co-founded by Will Lander (co-owner of The Quality Chop House) and Daniel Morgenthau (previously of 10 Greek Street), the venue will offer modern British dishes with north European influences.
The menu, created by head chef Merlin Labron-Johnson (previously sous chef at In De Wulf in Belgium), includes starters such as white bean soup with winter truffle or mackerel with turnip and wasabi; and mains like pumpkin gnocchi with chestnuts and brown butter; or spiced barbecued pork belly with grilled red cabbage and mustard seed.
For dessert, diners have a range of options, including lemon meringue tart and rice pudding.
"We're very excited about [Labron-Johnson] bringing something slightly different to the London dining scene, still with the same emphasis on seasonality and using the best possible British ingredients available, but with some northern European influences. His cooking is slightly lighter than the food at other restaurants, and has more refreshing acidity as opposed to lots of butter and oil," Morgenthau told BigHospitality.
Located at 113 Great Portland Street in a former clothes showroom, the venue will have a 'light and airy' design in order not to distract from the restaurant's main focus: food, wine – the list will include 45 seasonally changing wines – and service.
"Our philosophy in terms of food, wine and service carried through the design, so rather than going for a concept-led design, we just wanted to think about all the aspects of restaurants that we enjoyed and bring that into the design. Everything that from our experience at restaurants we thought customers would enjoy – that's been the driving force throughout," he added.
One-site restaurant
The two long-time friends have no plans to roll out the concept.
"It's very much a one-site restaurant. We're just trying to build a really strong kitchen and front of house team, and it's quite unique to the location and space we've created. Will and myself want to be there the whole time so it's not something that we plan to replicate," Morgenthau concluded.

All-nighters are pointless and counter-productive, new study shows
You've already failed so you may as well just go to bed
We've all sat in the library at 6am, with no sleep and an exam on the horizon — desperately cramming your entire course into your head.
But according to scientists, staying up for an all-nighter is not only pointless, it's counter-productive.
A new study has revealed that when you don't get much sleep, your memory is much worse.
Sleep is important to turning what you read into what you can actually remember.
During sleep, the memory neurons work most effectively – so cramming a session in the library all night won't help you remember vital information.
The recent study was carried out by boffins Paula Haynes and Bethany Christmann at Brandeis University in Massachusetts and suggests your brain is trying make you sleep so you can convert all you've learnt into long term memory.
Sleep expert Dr Andrea Grace said: "Students will always stay up all night, it's a part of being a student and when a lot of university library's stay open 24 hours a day it is going to happen"
She continued to say that pulling an all nighter is "not very good for you or your health over all.
"If you miss out on sleep you end up being more susceptible to accidents and to infections. Emotional difficulties such as depression and anxiety are increased.
"Being up all night in front of a screen, the staring at the light that is produced by the screen is harmful to your eyes and the light will cause your eyes to be over stimulated making it very hard to get to sleep at say three o'clock in the morning when you get to bed.
"Cramming doesn't store any more longtime memory, its completely useless for learning anything longer than a few hours. being awake all night is really not good for you."

Canadian police say they've finally identified the mystery woman who performed library sex shows at two locations as well as number of coffee shops in Windsor. She was arrested and possibly faces a number of indecency charges. Moreover, she was allegedly fired by the internet porn website she worked for. At a number of the libraries where she filmed her online solo erotica shows, children and non-consenting adults were in view, according to an IB Times report.
Alexandria Morra, referred to as Alexa by some reporting sites, is the woman authorities and viewers only knew as "Lilsecrett" until she was arrested Friday. Morra allegedly put on dozens of live sex shows at several Windsor public library locations over a span of time.
Using a laptop, the brazen woman exposed her breasts, genitals, and buttocks, and used a number of adult sex toys to pleasure herself in front of her notebook's webcam while she chatted with customers/viewers on the website. Perhaps the most egregious part of her exploits involved the performance of her raunchy sex acts while other library patrons were in the background. In one of the videos, the woman is exposing her partially nude body while unsuspecting kids and adults were present.
Windsor authorities and library officials have been hard at work trying to identify the woman behind the illegal library sex clips, and apparently received a break in the case. However, it's unclear what led them to the webcam model's identity, but Kitty Pope, the library CEO, told the National Post in Toronto that back in January, workers asked a patron to leave because they suspected her of performing indecent acts.
"We were pretty shocked. We learned about a young person in the library in January who was taking inappropriate pictures of herself. When staff discovered this, they tried to find out who she was. She wouldn't identify herself so they asked her to leave."
Reporters tried to contact the woman's employer about her involvement in shows of a sexual nature at Windsor library locations. The only thing learned was that she [Morra] is no longer employed because she "violated company policy." Evidently, the website that employs models who expose themselves in various stages of nudity forbids filming of men and children.
The woman's arrest in Canada is the second such arrest this year involving indecent exposure in public places. Kendra Sunderland, an American woman, was arrested this year for recording her nude body parts in a library at Oregon State University.
On why a woman records sex shows at a public library, one report said it's the thrill of doing it without getting caught. In addition, models can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars for baring it all in the strangest of places.

County commission maintains its stance on polling places
By Daniel Arens
It's election year in 2018, and for Mercer County, the big question has been the location and number of polling places in the county.
Earlier this year, the commission approved reducing the number of polling places to one site in the county. The rationale of the decision came after Auditor Shana Brost informed the commission they could save nearly $20,000 by the reduction. In addition, the increased use of vote-by-mail meant the commission felt that, logistically, one polling place would be enough.
The commission's decision calls for hosting the single polling place in either Hazen or Beulah, on a rotating basis. For 2018, Beulah will be the host city. Since that point, the Hazen City Commission has considered whether they wanted to establish their own polling place, at their own cost, or go along with the county plan, which would include providing city busing service for residents to get to Beulah if they wanted to vote at the polls.

Are you taking too much calcium? Having too much calcium in the blood is called hypercalcemia.
It can be brought on by a number of things including
- Taking too much calcium or vitamin D
- Elevated vitamin D levels
- Overactive parathyroid glands (hyperparathyroidism)
- Certain medications (eg, lithium, which can cause hyperparathyroidism)
- Dehydration
- Certain cancers (eg, bone, breast, parathyroid)
So how do I know if I'm taking too much calcium?
The amount of calcium in the blood that causes hypercalcemia will vary from person to person. Mild hypercalcemia may have no symptoms; the best way to check for it is with a blood test. Hypercalcemia is usually accompanied by some or all of the following symptoms:
- Headache – possibly secondary to dehydration as your body focuses on getting rid of excess calcium through the urine
- Increased thirst – you get thirsty, so you'll drink more causing you to urinate more
- Frequent urination – this is how the body gets rid of excess calcium
- Nausea – possibly secondary to dehydration
- Brain fog, confusion
- Fatigue
- Constipation
- Muscle weakness
Why should I be concerned about hypercalcemia?
Well, the symptoms can be pretty unpleasant. But if left unaddressed, it can lead to serious health problems over time. If the calcium levels get high enough some of the symptoms may present themselves.
Chronic hypercalcemia can lead to
- Abnormal heart rhythms
- Kidney stones or kidney failure
- Neurological problems (eg, brain fog, confusion, dementia)
- Osteoporosis – if your bones are giving away their calcium, as in the case of hyperparathyroidism, this can lead to thinning of the bones
So remember when taking calcium, it is best absorbed at doses of 500 mg or less and in the company of vitamin D. If you think you are experiencing symptoms of hypercalcemia, please consult with your healthcare provider.

I use to say, "I don't do balloons, and I can't walk stilts." This was my motto only because these are things that will take you away from the opportunity to be funny. You can be very funny with balloons, and I seen masters on leg extensions, but I'd rather play a mean ukulele, and take a slap into a standing back flip; so there is a list of four things that I can't do. But anyway, I think it is our friend Harpo who does the best Balloons that I have ever seen, he once gave my wife a rose balloon sculpture with the sweetest latex scent. I remember Terri, my wife, bought a stack of balloon books for her Jester gig at King Henry's – I think that they were written by someone named Dewey.

Balloons are just another vehicle for performance. The stereotype of a guy making dogs and swords is just as bad as a lot of the stereotypes of clowns out there. Balloons are a very versatile medium, and most people don't even know half of what is possible, including performance. Mr. Dewey has an extensive collection of balloon, and clowning books and is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. I hope that this blog post leads to more information for his project.

When I look into the history of Balloon I found that it started back in the time of the aztec peopl they would sacrifces animals and people they would disinbowel them and take the bladders and intrails and blow them up a form them into animal shape and burn them.
Of course e might want to double check this....if its true it would be really weird in his book!

No dog is a bully breed.
It's the owners that make a dog act aggresive, so it is not at all the dog's fault. However, many people seem to forget that and label an innocent dog a bully breed. When will people learn? Even the veterinarian staff who is supposed to welcome all breeds tends to exclude some.
What am I talking about, you ask? Well, I am talking about the people at Petsmart. You see, one happy-go-lucky pitbull was very excited to go to a party when his owner realized that he was not allowed because apparently pitbulls are 'bully-breeds'.
Just look at this face and tell me that this isn't an outrage.
Just look at the hat! He was ready for the barkarita!
Ashley was so dissapointed that she decided to tweet about it.
Hi Ash. All breeds, including pit bulls, are invited to our events and welcome in our stores. We're so sorry for the confusion, and we'll be sending you a party package to help make it up to you and Blu.
— PetSmart (@PetSmart) May 7, 2018
And even though people at Petsmart wanted to play it off as nothing, a twitter user had another plan for them.
That's funny because on your website it says verbatim that "bully breeds" are not welcome at group playtime or daycamp… as a pit bull owner who only shops at petsmart i'd really appreciate if you could elaborate on that??? pic.twitter.com/dwEbiBWDNG
— Megan Roberts (@megrob814) May 7, 2018
So as it turns out, you can shop at their stores but not be included in the parties if you are an owner of a bully-breed.
Hi Megan, we believe bully breeds can make great companion pets. They are welcome in our stores, adoption centers, grooming salons, PetsHotels, and training classes, but are excluded from group play in our Doggie Day Camps. 1/3
— PetSmart (@PetSmart) May 7, 2018
So when one user tweeted at Petco, they were more than happy to welcome more customers.
Hi there. We welcome all breeds inside our stores – This most certainly includes pit bulls! Petco does not discriminate. We look forward to seeing you all soon! 🐶🐾
— Petco (@Petco) May 5, 2018
And that is not all, Blu and her owner did stop by Petco afterall. Guess Petsmart lost a lot of good customers because of this.
How could anyone say no to this face? 😍 Thanks for stopping by to hang out with us, Blu and @ashleanin! We really do have the #cutestcustomers! #DontBullyMyBreed pic.twitter.com/ZOxjsMvEDn

Do you think there is such a thing as bully-breeds? Or is it all because of the owners? Comment down below and let us know.

The King Areus Awards
A highly inspiring and widely promising international conference titled "Sparta-Israel: Renewing an Ancient Friendship" took place in Sparta, Greece, on September 2 & 3, 2018 ( www.sparta-israel.org). The conference was organised by the Municipality of Sparta, B'nai B'rith Greece and the Greek-Israeli Cooperation Institute. It was meant to celebrate the ancient friendship between the Spartans and the High Priests of Judea, as initiated by Areus, the wise king of the Spartans, ca. 300 BC. The King Areus mission and the content of his letter, delivered to High Priest Onias, is mentioned in the books of Maccabees and in the historical works of Josephus. It begins: "Areus King of the Spartans, to Onias the High Priest, greetings. It has been discovered in records regarding the Spartans and Jews that they are brothers, and of the race of Abraham. Now that this has come to our knowledge, we shall be obliged if you will send us news of your welfare."
In the context of this significant conference and with the purpose of commemorating King Areus' extraordinary mission in cultural diplomacy, the Greek-Israeli Cooperation Institute announced the "King Areus Awards", planned to be presented yearly to distinguished personalities of Jewish descent. This year's awards, steeped in centuries long cultural symbolism, were bestowed as follows:

A job application document, handwritten by Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, full of errors, is likely to fetch $50,000 (£35,700) at an auction in March.
The form dates back to 1973, when 18-year-old Jobs who had dropped out of Reeds College, was seeking employment as an "electronics tech or design engineer."
This 'Steve Jobs Signed Job Application' will be put on auction by RR Auction.
"This remarkable employment questionnaire reveals Jobs's early aspiration to work in the fledgling tech industry, which he would soon revolutionise forever," the listing on official website reads.
In its description, the auction house writes, "Incredible job application questionnaire filled out and signed by Steve Jobs, one page, 8.5 x 11, annotated 1973 in another hand. Jobs fills out the document with his name, 'Steven jobs'; address, 'reed college'; phone, 'none'; and major, 'english lit.' In the middle section, he writes 'yes' in response to 'Driver's License?' and 'possible, but not probable,' in reply to 'Access to transportation?' With regard to his skills, next to 'Computer' and 'Calculator,' he writes, 'yes (design, tech).' At the bottom, he describes his 'Special Abilities' as 'electronics tech or design engineer. digital.—from Bay near Hewitt-Packard [sic].' In very good condition, with intersecting folds, overall creasing, light staining, and some old clear tape to the top edge. Accompanied by full letters of authenticity from PSA/DNA and Beckett Authentication Services."
The auction house further adds that the American entrepreneur had enrolled at Reed College in Portland, Oregon for the fall semester in 1972, "but dropped out after just six months to preserve his parents' meager funds".
"However, he hung around campus for a year and a half to audit creative courses, including classes on Shakespeare, dance, and calligraphy—these would help to shape his artistic worldview that influenced the innovation of the Macintosh computer," the note states.
On auction, is also a newspaper excerpt signed by Jobs covering the announcement of the first iPhone redesign - the iPhone 3G - in 2008, which is estimated at more than $15,000 (£10,700).
In April 1976, Apple Computer, Inc. was co-founded by Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne.

Wonder what it would look like if a year's worth of these 4" x 4" artworks dropped daily were put together in one place? Come meet the artist and discover why some artists leave their work in public for some lucky random stranger to find and enjoy! This exhibit will run the entire month of January, be sure to tell your friends and stop by the library to be amazed by this collection!

The Andalusian high court, TSJA, has annulled an infrastructure plan involving part of the Torreblanca area of Fuengirola, in a response to an appeal filed by home owners in a case that dates back to 2011.
The ruling, published last Friday, means that home owners in Lomas de Torreblanca (API-02) do not have to pay for the infrastructure improvements included in a special 'PEDI' plan, which was agreed with the Junta's planning commission and the town hall to allow the approval of a modification of the town's PGOU.
The town hall has said that it was expecting this outcome of the case and that it shared the demands of the owners who appealed.
According to official sources the town hall had already, in March 2014, agreed on a rectification of the part of the PEDI that affected the contributions from property owners. The sources went on to say that the town hall had called for the suspension of the case as the error had been rectified.
Almost a year ago, another group of Torreblanca residents (sector PMI-2) were relieved when the town hall temporarily suspended the charges it was going to make for road and utility improvements. These charges amounted to an average of 6,000 euros per household, depending on the property values.

No school at Williamsburg Friday
Williamsburg Independent School will be closed Friday as emergency repairs to one of the building's central air conditioning system units is performed.
Superintendent Amon Couch said with the warmer weather expected to last several more weeks, the repairs are necessary.
Closing school Friday gives the repair crew additional time to ensure everything is working before classes resume on Monday.
Couch said while missing a day of class this early in the year is unforeseen, there are contingency days built into the calendar to make it up.
The school board has plans for a long-term fix of the air conditioning system, along with the lighting and ceiling tiles. That work is expected to begin over the summer break in 2017.

ABOVE AND BEYOND! Denis was recommended to us by friends who had just moved to Fort Mill and thank goodness he was! We began the home search process out of state and Denis was always available by phone and email- almost immediately. We had done our research online- looking at homes, school districts and specific neighborhoods. No matter how much research we did, there was no substitute for Denis' knowledge.
After making recommendations on specific neighborhoods, Denis still look us to the areas that he felt would be less desirable to us so we could see first hand and make our own educated decision. His understanding of the market and attention to our needs allowed us to quickly narrow our search from dozens of homes to the final three. In the end we found the perfect home for us based on the neighborhood, schools, commute and amenities in the area. Though we knew we had to make a quick decision based on our relocation time frame, he did not pressure us, and even encouraged us to take a step back to make the right decision.
When we made our offer, he negotiated on our behalf and had the builder include upgrades we never would have thought possible. Above and beyond is the exact description for Denis and his services. His continuous personal touch, prior to, during and after our home purchase was incredible. From rescheduling his vacation, driving me to the airport, coordinating movers and offering daycare, Denis is top notch! We felt like we had to be his only clients and weeks later we still talk a daily basis.

International Humanitarian Organization Humanity First Germany donated Caritas of the Zagreb Archdiocese to transport children and adolescents with physical and mental disabilities. National TV Croatia HRT was generous and kind enough to broadcast live the donation event in its morning popular program Dobro Jutro, means Good Morning. In 4 minutes broad cast, from 07.45 to 07.49 minutes, Mr Sead Mulabegovic mentioned about Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat and its affiliated organisation Humanity First. How Humanity First was found and few details covering its international character and activities in Croatia.
S. Jelena Lončar , director of the Zagreb Caritas said,"This donation came to us at right time because the fourth van, which is necessary for regular transport of passengers, is no longer usable. Namely, for regular transport, about 60 children attending various educational centres or schools in Zagreb, we need at least four vehicles a day, as these facilities work in shifts, and are located in various parts of the city (in Dupaco, Autism Center, Dubrava Education Center, Grigor Vitez Elementary School, Suvag Polyclinic, Primary School, Goljak Education Centre). In addition, these same vehicles are also used to transport children as ambulances and / or hospitals, to various excursions, visits etc. The vehicles from Brezovica start at about 7:00 in the morning and return around 19:00 in the evening and each of them daily travels about 200 to 300 km. She then thanked donors for the donated vehicle, expressing hope for continued cooperation between these two humanitarian organisations.
The donors, including Mrs. Mulabegović's wife, Mrs. Nasiha, an Ahmadiyya and volunteer Balde Saiko Yahya, Caritas Director and Kljajic's manager, guided the guests through the housing units and other complex premises in Brezovica Road 98. During the tour, the guests observed more closely the noble work of the house. Currently the care home has 75 regular residents aged between 3 to 21 on long-term accommodation and 20 users (adults with disabilities) on daily stay. The devotion with which the staff takes care of these special needs children was worth praising. Every one in this home doing this service to humanity was marvellous human being.

Thursday, August 19, 2010
I'm taking the rest of the day off. I'm going to READ, baby! I just started ROSEMARY AND RUE by Seanan McGuire and I really want to get back to it. I haven't been so involved in a story for a while. It's about a fae community in San Francisco, and it's engaging and detailed and really creative.
(OMG, I typed "creature" instead of "creative" before I corrected it. Shows you where my mind is still at. I *literally* just sent in Bloodlands 3 a few minutes ago after a last polish.)
Ooo--I'm also reading PERSUASION by Jane Austen, just because I had a craving for... I don't know. Genteel romance? High-waisted dresses? Awesomeness?
Okay. I'm off. Hope you all are doing well. ; )

I've been neck deep in school work and have ignored the blogosphere for a bit. Finally got a moment to breathe and decided to stop by. GOod news about Andy Whitfield. My hubby and I love, love, love that show. You mentioned SMALLVILLE and SUPERNATURAL. What's the sitch on those shows? Tragically, there are 9 episodes of Smallville that I need to watch. I know! Horrible. My hubby won't watch that show with me anymore so I have to watch them when he's hanging out with his BF. But when he's gone, I end up reading! LOL. Congrats on getting B3 turned in. Working on revisions myself as part of a class project and I'm learning SO much. My mentor has been great.

Ahhh- WHEN do we get to see the books in the store? I can't wait....feeling a little impatient. Silly, because I have to wait anyway for my second paycheck of the year to buy books - school employee schedule. So in October, I'm having a huge book spree. I plan to spend at least $100 - on PaperBacks!!! you know that's a lot of books! :)
The more I read about your new series, the more I want to read the books.

Hey, you two!
Celise, great to see you, and I see how busy you are when I read your tweets! It sounds like this program has been such a great experience for you.
SPARTACUS just rolls so hard. I can't wait for the prequel and then the return of the series. This is the last season of SMALLVILLE, and at the C-C panel, they showed Clark actually flying without it being some huge mistake or fantasy, LOL. Lois opened a box with the Superman costume in it, too, so I'm hoping that we'll see him in it since this is the last season.
It sounds as if SUPERNATURAL is going to get back to its roots. They've taken care of the apocalypse mythology, so there'll be lots of "monster of the week" episodes. We're going to find out about the Campbell family's history as hunters, which should be fun, and it looks like Sam is going to be Dean and Dean is going to be Sam; what I mean by that is Dean will be the "family, home guy" like Sam was when the series started, and Sam's going to yank him out of that because he's the big hunter now.
I like it. :)
Mardel!Thank you! Bloodlands won't be out until August-Oct. of 2011. Such a long wait! I think we have the titles now though:
August: BLOODLANDS, Book 1
September: BLOOD RULES, Book 2
Ocotber: IN BLOOD WE TRUST, Book 3
I'm so envious that you're going on a spending spree!Do you have any books that you're just dying to buy (besides BLOODLANDS. wink!)? If you're looking for a good fae book, I'm currently reading ROSEMARY AND RUE by Seanan McGuire. Very much enjoying it. And I keep hearing that Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy books are amazing, so I bought one of those.
If you want to share your goodies from your buying spree, I'd love to hear what you got!

Meet Skylar Hamilton
Just a few years back Brandon Palaniuk used the exposure from the Bassmaster Classic as a springboard to launch a brilliant career. Now another charismatic young pro, Skylar Hamilton aims to do the same.
The 21-year-old from Dandridge, Tennessee punched his ticket to the Classic when he won the Bassmaster Central Open on the Arkansas River earlier this year, winning by an ounce with a total weight of 45 pounds, 6 ounces.
Another great catch for Hamilton is his new 21-foot Xpress Bass Boat that he will fish from at the Classic on Lake Conroe near Houston, Texas.
Clay Connor, Marketing Director for Xpress Boats, feels that Hamilton is quite a catch for the company as well.
Hamilton looks forward to fishing the Classic. He figures the bite may play to his strengths.
"With few exceptions, if I have to fish deeper than 10 feet I'm out of my comfort zone," says Hamilton. "I believe the Classic will be won from somewhere between 8 foot of water up to the bank."
Likewise, Hamilton says aluminum boats fit his style of fishing, while adding some value that anyone can appreciate. For starters, the durability of aluminum is unmatched. "It is nice to not worry so much about hitting a stump or a rock when I go to move."
Of course, there are other advantages. "The biggest thing people worry about with an aluminum boat is how it rides," says Hamilton. "I rode in a 19-foot Xpress and it was fine, but when I drove the 21-footer, it was on another level. That extra bit of length really levels out the ride. It changes how the boat sits in the water. That makes a big difference because that's another concern everybody has with aluminum – the way the wind pushes them around but that's mostly due to the fact that the nose sits up out of the water so high. I've run an inferior 17-foot aluminum boat with a 70 horse on the back and, if I packed my weight right, it sat fairly level. This 21-footer from Xpress already sits in the water better and, of course, it runs smoother too."
Another benefit of a bigger boat is the bigger motor that it can tote. Not only does the extra length help, but Xpress is the only aluminum boat maker to offer a pad hull design. And that is the key difference, according to Connor. "That pad hull design is what allows our boats to get up and run like a glass boat. It is what separates an Xpress from all other aluminum manufacturers. Nobody else offers a pad hull. You can hang a Yamaha 250 SHO on our 21-footer."
Hamilton said his Xpress boat runs better than at least a couple of brands of fiberglass boats he has fished before.
Regardless of the physical advantages of aluminum – lighter weight, durability, speed – it may be the fiscal rewards afforded by a quality welded boat that seal the deal for most anglers. Hamilton notes, "College fishing and high school fishing is a big deal now. We've got all these young anglers coming along and I don't want them to think they have to have a $70,000 fiberglass rig in order to compete. I will be fishing the Classic and the Elite Series in a 21-foot Xpress."
Aside from the sticker savings, lighter rigs burn less gas, both on the lake and while being towed over the road.
"And with the money you save by buying an Xpress, you can afford to add a lot of nice features such as Power-Poles, an upgraded trolling motor and really nice electronics."
Speaking of electronics, Hamilton says his Raymarine unit was instrumental in his win on the Arkansas River. That was a shallow water affair. The upcoming Classic should be as well.
By the way, given John Cox's recent Forrest Wood Cup victory, from an aluminum boat, Hamilton has a chance to make it a clean sweep for metal craft in championship events. Let's see if this young pro can make a splash on bass fishing's biggest stage.

About Honduras (HN)
The Central American country of Honduras (HN) is bordered by Guatemala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua, and features coastline on both the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. It's a beautiful country renowned for ancient Mayan ruins, fine beaches, and coral reefs, but unfortunately marred by widespread gang violence, so it's important to review official travel alerts before visiting for updates
Most visitors to Honduras make a beeline to the resorts found in Tegucigalpa, Copán, San Pedro Sula, La Ceiba, and Roatán (on the Bahia Islands).
Its tropical climate is consistently warm year-round, with September through February the wettest months, and thus, least popular with travelers. Honduras is very popular with tourists on a tight budget, but many areas of the mountainous interior are no-go zones for foreigners (and city-dwelling locals alike). It's an up and coming destination on the ecotourism circuit, thanks to the Río Plátano Biosphere Reserve located in the lowland jungles.
Getting around
By far the most safe, efficient, and cost-effective mode of transport for travelers is to rent a car in Honduras. However, like the country itself, the Honduran car hire experience can be both good and also fraught with hazardous conditions. The road network covers every destination — with the exception of the interior — but it's impossible to make a blanket statement about the roads themselves.
The main highways are far and away the preferred routes for jetting from place to place, but there may be occasions when you need to use the unpaved rural roads, which is where the trouble starts. Law enforcement is virtually non-existent, and local driving habits create greater hazards than potholes. Honduras is the kind of place where you either stick to the main highways or you don't go. And be mindful of the condition of your Honduras car hire before pulling off of the pick-up parking lot. Make sure everything works and all pre-existing damage has been documented.
Choosing your car
Cheap car rentals in Honduras are supplied by the most trusted names in car hire: National, Sixt, Thrifty, Dollar, Avis, Budget, and Europcar. Choose from minicars, compact sedans, economy 3-door hatchbacks, fullsize 4-doors sedans, SUVs, specialty vehicles, estate wagons, and 7-12 seater minivans.
Tips and advice for renting a car in Honduras
U.S. currency is widely accepted in Honduras, and in some cases, the preferred method of payment.
Check with your mobile wireless carrier about their international roaming charges. SIM cards are only available for Honduran citizens and permanent residents. Meanwhile, cellular coverage is pretty sketchy outside of the major cities and resorts.
Definitely check with your home country's state department (or equivalent) for travel warnings before planning a trip to Honduras, and likewise, booking a car hire in Honduras.
The Honduran people are very happy to see you in their country, but it's considered impolite to ask a question of a stranger without first introducing yourself.
For outdoor activities and wilderness excursions, be advised that remote areas are teeming with creatures and critters that can and would just as soon kill you as look the other way. Meanwhile, diseases like malaria and dengue fever are still prevalent throughout the country.
Don't drive at night. Theoretically, you shouldn't even go outside at night — unless staying in an upscale area or an all-inclusive resort.
