Welcome to the Wild Card round. I don't love these short slates, but I'm too much of a degenerate to not play. I'll scale back my entries this week, and maybe build a couple teams with some contrarian plays. This week's write up will be shorter than normal due to a much smaller player pool, but I'll give you my thoughts on a few places I'm going. The format is also going to be a little different as I'm going to give you the more obvious plays along with some contrarian plays that I think have a chance to pay off.
Click Here for this weekends DraftKings recommendations.
Week 17 Plays
Obvious Play: Ben Roethlisberger ($8,500) – Big Ben is exceptional at home and he is one of the biggest favorites of the weekend. He is going to be chalky, but there aren't any other negative points to mention.
Contrarian Plays: Eli Manning ($7,500) – I like Manning this week. He is an exceptional playoff quarterback, and the Green Bay defense is decimated. They were bad going into last week and they ended up with a bunch of back ups to the back ups on the field. Manning has thrown for 250+ yards in six of his 11 playoff games and has thrown for multiple touchdowns in seven of those 11.
Matt Moore ($6,900) – Moore hasn't been completely incompetent as he has thrown for eight touchdowns in his three starts. In a game where the Dolphins are expected to be playing from behind, he could approach 40 pass attempts, which he hasn't done yet. He's the definition of contrarian, but if the high owned options happen to bust and Moore throws for 250 and three touchdowns, you're WAY ahead.
Running Back
Obvious Plays: Le'Veon Bell ($10,300) – In the same boat as Roethlisberger, but an even better play. I'm not sure you can fade Bell this week. Just play him and differentiate elsewhere.
Lamar Miller ($7,100) – Miller will probably be the second highest owned running back. His price is good and he already had one solid game against Oakland earlier in the year. He's a safe bet for around 20 carries and a couple targets. He has a pretty safe floor with an enticing ceiling.
Contrarian Plays: Ty Montgomery ($6,800) – This is a contrarian play as the masses will be on other pieces of this offense. Montgomery should get plenty of pass game work and he should see more carries this week than he saw last week. I think we see 12-15 carries and around five targets. He has solid upside.
Paul Perkins ($5,900) – Perkins has been the obvious best running back on the Giants in recent weeks, and if the Giants want to win this game, he gives them a much better chance than Rashad Jennings. He won't be highly owned, and as I mentioned above, the Packers defense isn't near where it was to start the year – especially against the run.
Wide Receiver
Obvious Plays: Antonio Brown ($9,100) – I feel like a broken record here, but I like the full stack with the three B's from the Steelers.
Odell Beckham Jr. ($8,900) – If I can only play one of these top two guys, it will be Beckham Jr. Cue the broken record again, but I think the Giants pass game is going to shred this Green Bay pass defense. This game has shootout written all over it!
Contrarian Plays: Sterling Shepard ($5,100) – If I'm counting on a huge game from Manning, I may be tempted to grab another piece of this pass game and Shepard is too cheap. The targets are there, and he's scored two touchdowns in the past three weeks and saw 11 targets in one of those games.
Kenny Stills ($5,000) – Stills is a home run threat and he would be the guy I'd stack with Moore. Stills has double digit fantasy points in his last four games, five of his last six, and 10 total games on the season. I'll probably be looking at him regardless of whether or not I play Moore.
Tight End
I'm going to change up the format for tight end, because I don't have a strong take for or against many guys. The one I do like is CJ Fiedorwicz ($5,300). Fiedorwicz is a first option for Brock Osweiler and he's a big red zone target. I think his price, targets, and ceiling match up perfectly this weekend.
Defense/Special Teams
Obvious Play: Houston Texans ($4,800) – The Texans are the obvious play, facing the Raiders third string quarterback, Connor Cook, in his first career start. This may be the other spot on my roster that I just go with the chalk.
I like Nick Novak ($4,500) at the bare minimum kicking in his home stadium, where the roof will likely be closed.
Week 17 Stay Aways
Aaron Rodgers ($8,600) – Rodgers has been exceptional down the stretch, and for that reason he'll carry a lot of ownership this weekend. However, the Giants secondary has played very well this season. If they played this game 10 times, I think Rodgers would probably pay off his salary five to six times. I'm willing to take the chance this weekend, that this will be one of the four to five times that he doesn't.
Zach Zenner ($6,200) – Zenner is projecting to be the second or third highest owned running back. He has played well, but that alone has me on the opposite side of him this week. The chances of him putting up a big game against Seattle is minimal. Last week was the week to jump on Zenner. Now, let's sit back and watch a large portion of the field go down in flames with Zenner this weekend. (FULL DISCLOSURE: As a Lions fan, I will be ecstatic if he blows up here and dominates the Seahawks. I just don't see it.)
I'm going to steer clear of Jay Ajayi ($8,300) this week as well. He'll be one of the higher owned options as well and in a game where the Dolphins will probably be playing from behind, I just don't see Ajayi getting many chances past the first few drives. His price is too high for me.
Thomas Rawls ($7,100) hasn't shown a pulse in weeks now, so I'm not going here either. The Lions have allowed very few rushing touchdowns on the season.
Well, that's it for the Wild Card round. Be sure to follow me on twitter at @mrclutchdfs if you want to get any updates from me on which way I'm leaning on some of these plays come Saturday.

I know nothing of this LA-based Canadian singer-songwriter other than he turned up on that pretty good tribute to the Band, Endless Highway, that came out last year. (He did a fine version of Stage Fright)
But this rollicking, often urgent-sounding acoustic driven folk-rock is an excellent showcase of his many talents, from finger-picking to intimate ballads sung in a pack-a-day, whisky-cured voice.
With a small band (of multi-instrumentalists so you get piano, trumpet, accordion, organ and so on) Reynolds has been winning an increasing critical reaction Stateside for his his live shows -- but in the absence of seeing him, this will do nicely for now.

More people than ever before are making the decision to travel round the globe. Some want to do it on their gap year between school and university, They save for airfare part of the year, travel the other. And some take a sabbatical from work to do it or do it between jobs.
There are various different routes you can take and 'round the world' doesn't tend to mean actually covering that much ground. A lot of gap year travellers, in particular, stick to a fairly well beaten track that often includes an English-speaking country.
The route will be something like South America, Australia, Asia then home. Gap year students tend to hark mostly from the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and, to an extent, Israel.
Those who include tours or projects in their itinerary may be more likely to travel to more exotic destinations with less other tourists there. But even in those cases there are running themes – monkeys in Burma, turtles in Costa Rica… you get the picture.
You hear stories of students choosing to be brave and going to environments that are too alien to them at first, such as Japan and India, and if they're alone probably having a good cry to themselves for the first couple of weeks. But bizarrely, it seems to be those same students who decide to return to the countries they found so difficult to get on with at first just a few years later. Really submerging yourself in another culture can create a bond between you and a place for a lifetime.
So a word of advice – take the plunge. This isn't to say that the Inca Trail isn't worth it, or Byron Bay isn't fun (if you enjoy dancing on tables with drunk, young people). Lot's of the places on the well-beaten list are on there because they are really special destinations. But if you really want to discover other places, choose Argentina and Chile in South America and stay a while; skip Australia and go there on a holiday when you're rich… go to North Korea! Okay, you don't have to choose North Korea. But some of the most exciting tales and adventures are those that feature the people who live where you're going, rather than the millions of Brits you made friends with on a project where you did a spot of gardening.
Before you decide where you want to go, stop and have a think about whether you know anyone at all who lives somewhere exciting. Kudos if you know someone in Thailand or Japan or… well anywhere they don't speak your language and you don't speak theirs. If you can meet up with them even if just for a couple of days, a whole world can be opened up to you. They can take you to all the local places and maybe order food on your behalf. Those experiences are golden.
So see if you can arrange an itinerary with a difference. One which really enlightens you.
John Hutchinson has enjoyed travelling since he was a young boy when his parents first took him to visit family overseas. Since leaving home, John has tracked down family all over the world and regularly jets off to faraway lands to see distant relatives.

Silent VoicesBook - 2011
From the critics

CommentAdd a Comment
As a fan of British mystery the novel was a perfect nighttime's read with
The usual twists and turns one expects
Without being long winded.
Ann Cleeves paints the perfect picture
Of English life (that is, from my entirely American standpoint).
Throughly enjoyed it!
An intelligent and well-written mystery featuring the protagonist Vera Stanhope. The strangled body of a social worker is found in an upscale health club. Vera follows clues that include the death of children and decades during which adults did not cope with their roles in the deaths.
Silent Voices. by Ann Cleeves.
After having enjoyed the TV adaption of some of her other novels this is one I haven't seen on the small screen. The TV Vera is gentler, less gritty than her her alter-ego in the novel. But I digress.
This master of murder mystery has crafted another of her tales that keeps you scratching your head until you get to very near the end. My only reservation about this story is that it is so jam-packed with a variety of characters I often found myself a bit at sea about who was who --- especially after a a two day break from reading. Best not to take a break but rather to read straight through. Not at all a daunting prospect.
All in all, a mm well worth reading.
Cleeves keeps the reader guessing who did the murders until she reveals all. She knows how to pace all of the information too. Just when I got tired of following the clues and learning about the background of all of the characters, she moves quickly to put an end to the novel. Another good read, this one about child murders and why that would happen.
Vera will tell you she's not gunning for Nicest Cop Award. She's blunt, frequently to the point of rudeness. But to her credit, is dogged & tenacious in hunting her prey. Vera is not out to make friends, but to solve murders; and she's very good at that!! I am hoping the new television series based on Cleeves' Vera Stanhope books makes it's way across the pond on either TVO or WNED. I believe Brenda Blethyn will make a superb Vera. She is one of Britains greatest actors around.
If you're looking for what I think are reffered to as "Cozies", as in a cozy, mild read by the fire this might not be for you, but read it anyway because it is a very well written mystery.
I had not read any of Annn Cleaves books before. This one I enjoyed, it kept me guessing 'til near the end who dun'it & why.
Vera Stanhope is quite a character & she sure loves to eat !
I enjoyed this and the detective is a quirky character. I see there are DVDs of the tv series Vera based on these novels which should be interesting. I do prefer her stories set in Scotland though.
A really good mystery novel. I love Ann Cleeves as an author, particularily her recent 4 books set in the Shetland Islands. This one is a Vera Stanhope book. But you don't really need to have read any of the other books with her as the lead detective. Ann Cleeves does a great job in moving the plot forward and slowly introducing possible suspects. The setting of her books (in this case rural england near newcastle) are always really interesting and different then ones by american or canadian mystery authors. My only critique would be that this novel has a large cast of characters and at times I kept forgetting who was who. Also, there are a lot of english terms that take getting used to but this also adds to the authenticity of the book. A great read for mystery fans.

A timber beam does two things – it's a structural member that has a set of design values attached to it and secondly, has varying aesthetic features depending on the source material.
What is a Glulam beam?
Glulam, short for glued laminated timber, is an engineered wood product manufactured by gluing together pieces of timber, known as laminates. This process produces larger size and longer length members, which can be curved, cambered or straight.
How are Glulam beams constructed?
Long finger-jointed lengths are graded individually, with bottom laminations being the strongest timbers which can be made in lengths up to 18 meters.
What are the benefits of Glulam?
- It's a locally available and sustainable product
- The appearance creates warmth and ambience
- Glulam can be made into various shapes and sizes, curves & moulding
- Incredible strength to weight ratio (1.5 – 2 times that of steel)
- Glulam's durability allows for internal & external structures (Class 1 to 3)
- Glulam behaves extremely well in fires with engineers allowing for 1 hour burn time. The structure is designed to remain stable with only 30% of the timber fibre being charred.
- Glulam can be made with a 600-meter camber to allow for deflection under load. This also restricts sagging in the member.
GL10 White Cypress Glulam
Durable "Class 1" timber that looks stunning
GL13 Radiata Pine Glulam
For ease of use and consistent colour with sound structural properties.
GL18 Vic Ash Hardwood Glulam
Strong, stable and visually appealing.
GL18 Mixed Species Hardwood Glulam
Strong and dense with diverse and rich colouring
GL21 Spotted Gum Glulam
GL21 Spotted Gum is a premier laminated beam

Reinventing the Miami Tower
Reinventing the Miami Tower
The iconic Miami Tower is a 47-story office building located in the heart of downtown Miami. This prestigious address is the home to many of Miami's established and most influential firms. The building with its modern design is famous in the Miami skyline for its color-changing lighting scheme and has frequently been featured in films and television shows.
Miami Tower used 352 large 1,000 watt (1,100 watts with ballast) metal halide fixtures located on the north, northwest and west façades of the building and in various setbacks on the 13th, 20th and 31st floors. The Tower also used 30 bulky 400 watt (465 watts with ballast) metal halide fixtures on the 46th floor. Creating the color effects on the building was costly and required a maintenance crew to use cumbersome and expensive gels. In order to fully light the exterior, building management also leased space on neighboring roof decks where they housed additional lighting fixtures at a cost of $110,000 annually.
Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL), the building's management company, knew it was time to investigate a new lighting system that was not only more energy-efficient, but would also allow the building to keep its visibility in the night skyline. Facility executives tasked Jones Lang LaSalle's Energy and Sustainability Solutions (ESS) experts to seek a better alternative. The group called on LED Source® to help find a replacement for their 16-year old lighting system.
LED Source® recommended a Philips Color Kinetics LED lighting solution. The new LED lighting system would be more energy efficient and allow for the creation of custom light shows at the push of a button, without costly gels or maintenance processes. It would also allow the building management to house all of the lighting on-site, saving the yearly lease fee.
At first, the JLL team was tentative about the new technology. To prove that the LED lighting system would provide more vivid lighting than the aging metal halide fixtures, LED Source® produced a full 3D rendering of the building. They then invited JLL's management and ESS team to see the capabilities of the proposed system in person during a test on the west section of the building. To further the case, LED Source® also worked with JLL's ESS team to provide a cost comparison of the new LED system, which showed that the total replacement proposal would have an annual reduction of 807,688 kWh –including a savings of 91.9% annually in exterior lighting energy costs. In addition, JLL would subsequently save $259,767 annually in energy, maintenance and operating costs.
The total number of fixtures at Miami Tower was reduced from 382 metal halides to 216 with the new LED lighting system —168 ColorReach Powercore fixtures and 48 ColorGraze Powercore fixtures.
The state-of-the-art compact LED light arrays not only provided a more vivid exterior illumination, significantly decreased lighting energy consumption and improved aesthetics, it also eliminated over 1.2 million pounds of greenhouse gas emissions annually.

State officials are putting together an organization that will use a network of volunteers to identify any possible terrorist activity that could occur around probable targets such as water reservoirs or railroads, a Jefferson County official said.
The organization, known as West Virginia Watch, will be headed up by a statewide coordinator named by Gov. Bob Wise, Jefferson County Commission President James K. Ruland said last week.
Each county will be asked to name a coordinator, who will oversee a group of volunteers, Ruland said.
Each volunteer will be responsible for keeping an eye on specific landmarks or facilities that could become a terrorist target, such as a water reservoir, an electric generating facility or a rail yard where railroad cars filled with chemicals are often located, Ruland said.
For the volunteers, the task can be as simple as observing the facilities every day on the way to work.
Any suspected terrorist activity would be reported to the state director through a toll-free telephone number, Ruland said.

The Americans: Renewed for Season 2Matt Richenthal at . Comments
The Americans will be sticking around FX for at least another season.
Four episodes into this brilliant new drama, the network announced today that it would be coming back in 2014 for 13 more episodes.
"The Americans has quickly established itself as a key part FX's acclaimed drama line-up," said FX President John Landgraf in a statement. "Executive Producers Joe Weisberg, Joel Fields and Graham Yost and their collaborators are telling riveting and deeply emotional stories and the performances of Keri Russell, Matthew Rhys, Noah Emmerich and the entire cast are simply outstanding. The show is truly worthy of its widespread critical acclaim and we are confident that its quality will continue to yield a robust and passionate audience."
The series posted the most-watched premiere in FX history last month when 5.1 million viewers tuned in, and will wrap up the opening season on May 1.

Undue authority of religious leaders is a topic that has strongly featured over the last few years, more so in other countries of the world than in South Africa. Recently the media reported on the South African pastor of Rabboni Centre Ministries of the Garankuwa Campus of the Technical University of Tshwane that instructed his followers to eat grass (Daily Sun, 10 January 2014 – Front page/Mail online UK, 10 January 2014). Photos taken show followers in different positions on a lawn busy eating grass. According to these reports eating grass would not only demonstrate that they are controlled by the Holy Spirit but would also bring them closer to God. Some followers even testified that since they have eaten grass their health have improved. A 21-year-old student reported that she has struggled with a sore throat that was healed after eating grass. Another women, 27 years of age, testified that she had a stroke 2 years ago that resulted in her not been able to walk. After eating grass she regained strength and could walk an hour later. When asked the followers obeying this instruction indicated that they did not believe that eating grass would make them ill. Photos published however, indicated that some followers got ill and vomited after eating grass. One believer of the church withdrew her testimony of deliverance from her blog because she believes that the minister's instruction to eat grass is a false doctrine. The media also reported on other accusations. The minister allegedly shouted, "sleep" in one of the meetings attended by approximately 1000 people and six fell asleep. Another photo shows the minister stepping on a member busy eating grass. The minister did not respond to the accusations despite a series of complaints that were lodged. On face book he described it as "God at work and that the people are testifying about it – To God be the Glory".
The case described above must be carefully analysed. Although the media has reported on the church alerting society about the dangers even of religion we need to analyse the situation more carefully. Without evaluating all the detail in the reports it is clear that followers were instructed to eat grass as the pictures show also based on members' confirmation. In light of that the focus of this post is on the underlying dangerous and undue influence of some religious leaders of which this particular case is a good example.
Although each religion in South Africa is afforded freedom of religion certain aspects of this teaching and occurance warrants serious consideration and evaluation.
The fact that human beings can be moved to eat grass must be a red light to any rational thinking human being. Although religion because of it's generally transcendental nature and origin is difficult to measure in concrete earthly criteria it may never be abusive or coerce people to do things that they would not normally do. The nature of religion in particular makes people vulnerable for abuse simply because of the belief that if God instructs believers must obey. This absolute authority is abused when a minister or religious leader establishes the belief with his followers that he/she hears directly from God and is representing God. The belief that the religious leader has godly sanctioning will give him or her unlimited authority that will lead to spiritual abuse. It is thus possible that members will do things that is out of the ordinary. When leaders are questioned about certain actions under their watch or leadership they simply justify it as "instructions from God" that they have only conveyed. Thus as mere conveyers of the instructions of God these leaders are exempted of any blame. Despite the fact that many followers are hurt in different religious groups as a result of the instructions of these leaders they believe that no finger can be pointed to them. These abusive leaders will also conveniently hide behind their right to religious freedom. The more important question that must be answered is: what about the rights of the followers that MUST be respected by the religious leader? The South African Constitution art. 15, clearly explains this right but also clearly indicates that participation in the activities of religion must be free and voluntary. The question is further, how free and voluntary can people act overshadowed by the belief that a religious leader holds a godly sanctioning and that disobedience to his/her instructions will result in some form of misfortune? Further, if followers are made to believe that obedience will bring them closer to God and ultimately result in their salvation but at the same time that disobedience will cause them to lose their salvation? This kind of rationalisation is made watertight by the fear-instilled belief that disobedience equals rebelling against God with consequences. From the above it seems clear that followers of some religious groups are placed in the proverbial "catch 22" situation that conveniently ensures unethical control over them not only in their earthly life but even their eternal destiny. This circular emotional/psychological dynamic definitely does not promote the concept of free and voluntary. A free and voluntary choice is based on the premise that a person when confronted with different choices applies his/her own logical, rational and emotional ability to decide. It does not mean that someone else subtly coerces an individual through their absolute authority and overrules individual choice. It stands to reason that religious leaders are viewed as figures of authority in society however this authority is not absolute. Religious leaders should remind themselves constantly of the possibility to abuse authority and put measures in place to ensure that it will not happen.
Can society simply look on while abusive religious leaders continue undisturbed? The answer is, NO! Society needs to be heard and must stand up for those entrapped in these religious groups that as a result of indoctrination and fear are not able to speak out. Society needs to be strong for those that are afraid that something bad will happen to them if they speak out. One of the fundamentals of the South African Constitution is that humans must be treated with dignity. This also applies to religious leaders. They must treat their members with dignity and respect and ensure that their actions never infringe on their members' rights or lead to undignified treatment.

ALBANY — Gov. David A. Paterson and his wife earned $269,815 in income in 2007 but gave only one charitable donation, worth $150, for the year, according to tax returns he will file on Tuesday.
The donation was clothing that his family gave to the Salvation Army, an aide said.
Mr. Paterson's charitable giving, as a percentage of his income, was the lowest of the three statewide elected officials who allowed reporters to examine their tax returns, or summaries of them, on the eve of the April 15 filing deadline.
Andrew M. Cuomo, the state attorney general, gave $14,000, or about 3 percent of his income, and the state comptroller, Thomas P. DiNapoli, reported total income of $143,027, with $3,065 — about 2 percent — given to charity.
Mr. Paterson's aides declined to respond to questions about his charitable contributions.
As lieutenant governor, Mr. Paterson's salary was set at $151,500 by state law. He earned $3,000 in outside income in 2007 for teaching a history class at his alma mater, Columbia University. His salary as governor this year will be $179,000.
His wife, Michelle Paige Paterson, earned $115,538 at her job overseeing wellness programs at the Health Insurance Plan of New York. She also earned $6,000 as a consultant to the National Urban Technology Center, a Manhattan-based nonprofit that creates technology-oriented curriculums for poor high schools and middle schools. Mrs. Paterson helped devise a childhood obesity initiative for central Harlem, Patricia Bransford, the center's executive director, said.Continue reading the main story
The Patersons, who own a home in Guilderland, an Albany suburb, and rent an apartment in New York City, owed $57,562 in federal taxes and $25,218 in state and city taxes, as well as $10,120 in local property taxes, according to the returns. They will receive a $4,386 refund in state taxes.
The family's returns reflected Mr. Paterson's relatively modest means compared with those of his predecessor, Eliot Spitzer, the scion of a wealthy real estate family. According to returns Mr. Spitzer released as governor, he earned nearly $2 million in 2006. His predecessor, George E. Pataki, often supplemented his income with paid speeches.
With Mr. Spitzer's resignation last month, Mr. Cuomo has emerged as the wealthiest statewide elected official, reporting total income last year of $545,000, most of it coming through his stake in EnTrust Capital Partners, an investment fund. Mr. Cuomo's share of the fund is structured as a blind trust to avoid possible conflicts of interest, his aides said.
Reflecting the typically lower salaries in the public sector, Mr. Cuomo's earnings were significantly more — about $1.5 million — in 2006, when he last worked full time in the private sector. (As attorney general, his salary is set at $151,500.) For 2007, Mr. Cuomo paid $138,000 in federal and state taxes.
Mr. DiNapoli, the state comptroller, reported total income of $143,027, with about $5,000 worth of dividends and capital gains income, most of it from telecommunications stocks. He made $3,065 in charitable contributions, most of them to Catholic-related charities and local community organizations in Nassau County, where he lives. He will receive about $8,000 in state and federal refunds this year.
Mr. Paterson and Mr. DiNapoli allowed reporters to examine their returns. Mr. Cuomo's office allowed reporters to review a preliminary summary prepared by his accountants. Neither the State Senate majority leader, Joseph L. Bruno, nor the Assembly speaker, Sheldon Silver, would release tax return information.
As permitted by law, both lawmakers earned substantial income at outside jobs. Mr. Silver is a lawyer at a Manhattan law firm. Mr. Bruno runs a private business consultancy out of his home. Both have declined to reveal who their clients are.Continue reading the main story

Megan Fox dishes Transformers
Megan Fox shares insight to not only her role in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, but also how life has altered for the actress from Tennessee. Fox has gone from co-star to superstar in the span of the original Transformers to the highly anticipated sequel opening June 24.
Michael Bay, Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf combined to produce a $700 million monster in the original Transformers movie. The Revenge of the Fallen sequel more than achieves the Hollywood second chapter musts: things are more bombastic, bigger, better and breathtaking.
Don't miss our exclusive Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen early review here!
Fox Transformations
SheKnows:Megan, your world must have completely altered by the first Transformers and its global resonance.
Megan Fox: I think, the movie, its success and how well it was received, has opened a lot of doors for me career-wise and I've been able to be a part of some films that I don't really feel like I deserved to have been a part of and that's due greatly, if not solely to the success of Transformers. I just did Jonah Hex with Josh Brolin and Michael Fasbinder and John Malkovich and actors don't generally get those opportunities and, for me to have that is a huge blessing and that's because of the success of this movie.
SheKnows: Has your daily life changed?
Megan Fox: Sure. I mean being photographed at Whole Foods or coming out of Rite Aid with your shampoo bottles and stuff, that's new for me but that's not that crazy. You adjust to that, you acclimate to that pretty quickly.
SheKnows: In Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, you are first introduced in Daisy Dukes leaning over a motorcycle fixing it. Do you ever think that you are overexposed?
Megan Fox: Yeah, I have those moments on a daily basis. But, the process of picking those outfits, I don't have much of a say but I remember Mike (Bay) was auditioning Ramon and some of other characters and there was a room full of men upstairs in his office.
SheKnows: Did you have any say in these clothes that you would be wearing for 12 hours a day, weeks at a time?
Megan Fox: Shia, Ramon, two other actors and I had to come up and down and knock on the door and try on all my wardrobe and I had on like eighteen different outfits. There was like white jean shorts and pink belly shirt and white motorcycle boots and we went through a whole thing and Mike (Bay) was selecting them in the process of auditioning.
In the Foxhole: Working closely with the military
SheKnows: He can do it all, including as he always does, working with the military closely on this film. What was your experience?
Megan Fox: I think, just in general, I was really pleasantly, not surprised with them, but they're all extremely chivalrous and very respectful. Clearly because they're disciplined and they're so much better behaved than the rest of the cast is, (laughs) including myself though. They listen and take direction really well and we're just f***** off.
SheKnows: The fact Michael uses the real military is so visually pure...
Megan Fox: It added authenticity to the movie. I enjoy being able to walk on the set and there's a hundred real soldiers as opposed to walking on and it's a hundred actors from Orange County or L.A. in fatigues. It was just overall, a really pleasant experience for me. I have an immense amount of respect for the soldiers and for our troops.
Screen beauty
SheKnows: Some actors love to see their movies, do you have trouble seeing yourself on screen?
Megan Fox: I just saw it (the film) for the first time a couple of days ago when we were in London and I usually don't watch myself. I don't watch playback. I don't look at still photos. I have a phobia of it. I forced myself to sit down. I basically shot an entire glass of champagne so that I could get through the screening of it and I was really, really pleasantly surprised. Halfway through I was overcome with genuine emotion and I wanted to hug Michael. I had gratitude to him for making this movie. It so far surpassed by expectations. I think the character is sexy. Women in movies in general are sexy, especially in Michael's movies. He knows how to make movies that get people in the theater.
SheKnows: This is the second time working with green screen, has it gotten easier?
Megan Fox: It was definitely easier because we had seen them at this point. We've seen Optimus and we're heard his voice and we know how he moved. It's the same with all of the robots. Once you're able to visualize something's present, it's a lot easier to think and act with it. I think those scenes are some of the easiest to shoot. I enjoy them because we've gotten good at being able to synchronize and pick an eyeline and you basically scream your dialogue at it and you avoid the area where you know it is. I enjoy those scenes. We end up usually doing a ton of takes because ILM, you know, it needs to be specific. The light needs to be right and they need to be able to add it in and make it look the way that they do. It wasn't that difficult this time around.
SheKnows: How'd you guys unwind and stay healthy after crazy long days shooting a high pressure sequel like Rievenge of the Fallen?
Megan Fox: I know in New Mexico, what all of us did to relax after a hard day at work was to go drink at Chili's. We'd drink a lot. Then to stay in shape -- I didn't find the time or I didn't have the motivation. After we would shoot a 16-hour day -- no, that's not possible -- okay, we shoot 12-hours days. But, after 12 hours, I was too tired to work out. So, I didn't really maintain much.
SheKnows: How did Shia's injury affect production?
Megan Fox: If your question is 'did it set things back?' I think we were very lucky for Shia's commitment to this movie. He showed up with his injury and acted as if he didn't have an injury and still went balls to the wall and completely committed and did things that were not safe for him to do but he wanted this movie to be as real as possible so I think that helped everyone else a lot.
SheKnows: Next up is Jennifer's Body…
Megan Fox: I'm actually very happy with it.
SheKnows: How was working with the Oscar-winning Diablo Cody?
Megan Fox: Diablo is so wicked and funny and hard to really make a film that was up to her script but I think Karyn (Kusama, the director) did a pretty good job and I think it's one of the most interesting movies coming out this year for sure. It's offbeat comedy. It's inappropriate comedy which I find to be the funniest.

Foods Proven To Prevent Alzheimer's Disease
Over 5.3 million Americans have Alzheimer's disease. And each year 700,000 of them die as a result of the disease. That's makes it one of the top 10 killers, and very little is known about it.
But the good news is that research shows that there are some powerful and effective ways to prevent the disease. And some of those ways are food. Eating the right foods have been shown to protect the brain and stave off disease.
In today's article, I'm going to focus on a group of nutrients found in food. These nutrients are called polyphenols. And they are proven to help prevent Alzheimer's disease. I'll tell you what they are and how you can find them to stay healthy.
Understanding Amyloid Plaques
One of the things that is known about Alzheimer's disease is that it is produced by a buildup of plaques in the brain. The type of plaques are called amyloid plaques.
Amyloids are a type of protein. They are the result of proteins folding incorrectly. And normally, in healthy people, amyloids are removed so they don't cause any problems.
Unfortunately, in some people, amyloids aren't removed quickly enough. So they build up, and they start to form plaques.
When the plaques are in the brain, the result is Alzheimer's disease.
So obviously, anything that naturally helps the body to remove amyloids will be protective against Alzheimer's disease.
Introducing Polyphenols
Polyphenols are a class of nutrients found in plants and animals. They do all kinds of important things such as controlling growth hormones, protecting against UV damage, and preventing infections. When we eat polyphenols, our health benefits. And one of the ways that science has shown that polyphenols help is by clearing out amyloid plaques.
Polyphenols are found in high concentrations in many fruits and vegetables as well as tea, coffee, and chocolate. And the polyphenol content of these foods may be part of why they are so healthy.
When it comes to clearing amyloid plaques, all polyphenols may be helpful. But only a few have been proven to provide powerful Alzheimer's prevention. They include myricetin, fisetin, curcumin, silibinin, catechins, and ferulic acid.
Myricetin is a polyphenol found in red grapes, cranberries, blueberries, parsley, currants, and walnuts. It's been shown to protect brain cells against the damage of amyloid plaques. And it is a powerful anti-inflammatory, which helps to prevent plaque buildup.
Fisetin is found in strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and apples (in the peels). In studies fisetin has been found to prevent amyloids from clumping together. That means they can't form plaques. What's more, fisetin has been shown to protect brain cells. It's been shown to not only reduce Alzheimer's disease, but also other brain diseases.
Curcumin is found in the spice turmeric. Turmeric has many brain protective effects, and curcumin accounts for one of them. Curcumin has been shown to reduce iron buildup, which is associated with Alzheimer's disease. And it is a powerful anti-inflammatory that reduces plaque buildup.
Silibinin is also known as silybin. It's found in the seeds of the milk thistle plant. Milk thistle seeds have been used for thousands of years to protect the liver and for general antioxidant benefits. But recent research has shown that they can actually prevent Alzheimer's disease. They do that not only by preventing amyloid plaques, but also by preventing excessive breakdown of important neurotransmitters.
Catechins are found in large amounts in tea and in chocolate. The most famous catechin is called EGCG, found in green tea, which is one of the reasons green tea is healthy. The catechins found in chocolate are only found in chocolate that is minimally processed. Look for dark chocolate or even better, raw chocolate (cacao). Catechins have been proven to block plaque build up and to even help reverse Alzheimer's.
Finally, ferulic acid is found in coffee, apples (in the peels), artichoke, and oranges. It's long been known that coffee consumption reduces Alzheimer's risk, and caffeine is one of the reasons. But ferulic acid is another powerful health benefit to coffee. So enjoy your morning coffee and a cup of orange juice, and snack on an apple in the afternoon for your health.
Putting It Into Practice
In the above, I've given you some powerful foods you can use to protect your brain. The key to success is that you have to eat them regularly.
If you enjoy coffee, then you've now got yet another reason to drink a cup or two in the morning. And if you enjoy chocolate, then you've got a good reason to eat a small amount of dark chocolate daily. When it comes to chocolate, however, highly processed chocolate has none of the polyphenols. So opt for minimally processed dark chocolate or raw cacao.
Be sure to eat a variety of fruit regularly as well. Oranges are a good choice. So are berries. Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries are packed full of polyphenols. Add berries to your breakfast both for the taste and for the brain protection benefits.
When it comes to curcumin, if you enjoy the taste of turmeric, a teaspoon of the powdered spice per day is the least expensive way to get the brain protection benefits. Otherwise, you can find encapsulated products.
Silibinin can be found in milk thistle seeds, which are available in supplement form.
You don't have to eat all of these things every day. But by being mindful to include as many of them as possible on a regular basis, you'll be keeping your brain in top shape.

The issue of stroke is particularly noticeable in neurology due to the high prevalence rate and serious consequences. Accordingly, telenurology is also intensively concerned with this disease pattern and attempts to contribute to medical progress in the field of neurology, using knowledge of the use of modern technologies. In Thuringia, the stroke telemedicine network "SATELIT" has existed for almost 5 years and has shown during this time that telemedical developments and application can help to contribute to the improvement of care quality in neurological diseases by means of computer-supported communication and network technologies. In Umbria, Italy a stroke network was successfully deployed since 2016 using fix units in the west of the county and mobile units in the earthquake area to the east. In addition to acute stroke treatment, the German Society for Telemedicine, in cooperation with the Hans Berger Clinic for Neurology at the University Hospital of Jena, will also be discussing with the First German Telenurology Congress the health policy and socio-political significance of the Telemedicine in neurology. The conference is aimed at clinicians, doctors, nurses, therapists and costumers as well as companies interested in current medical developments in the field of neurology, rehabilitation and aftercare. The focus of the 2017 Congress will be telemedicine in stroke care as the most important field of application. Other neurological applications such as dizziness, Parkinson's disease, or epilepsy are also being investigated. In addition, telemedicine products and latest developments are presented in an accompanying industrial exhibition.

This section of Splattered Apron is dedicated to reviews of recipes that I have cooked from a variety of sources such as cookbooks, internet recipes and random printouts. While I could blog about the process of making these recipes and include the recipe I feel like this would be stealing other peoples ideas. While some bloggers or cooks change one ingredient and list the new recipe as 'adapted by' this is not the purpose of this section. The recipe itself is still the idea of someone else, someone that understands a lot more about food and cooking than I do, so instead I am just going to write reviews on how I found the cooking experience when making these dishes. That for me means that the full credit is still going to the original author as it should be. We can all make little adjustments to recipes based on our metric system, oven and refrigerator specifications, and for this reason I do not think it would be fair of me to claim a recipe as partially mine when the original idea, or recipe I have cooked from is not.
I do have a section for recipes that I have entirely developed myself, and I am claiming full credit for these and I would appreciate anyone that re-blogs or passes these recipes on to credit the original idea to me. You can see these recipes here.
I really hope this section is helpful for you when you are choosing a meal or snack to cook. I lead a very busy life of full time work, commuting, hobbies and sports. Because of this I love simple recipes that do not take long to prepare during the weekdays, and soothing, satisfying meals I can sink my teeth into in the weekend. If having tips on how to simplify meals, or what to be concerned about when preparing certain dishes sounds like something that will help you then the reviews that I do will be exactly what you are looking for.

In 1999, an endowment fund was started between the Manitoba Métis Federation and participating Manitoba universities in order to create available funds for issuing scholarships and bursaries to Manitoba Métis students. The awards come from the interest on the capital contributions to the fund, creating a legacy for future generations.
To date, contributions from all parties totals over $12.9 million dollars with over $1.8 million in awards being distributed. Award amounts vary at each institution from $500 to $3,000 with the average being $1,500 per student.
These awards are available to Métis students attending participating universities in Manitoba.
Students are required to complete an application that may consist of one or two parts - depending on their university. The Louis Riel Institute confirms that, as a Métis student, the applicant is eligible for the award and the university chooses the recipients. Students are eligible to apply for this award every year that they are attending the university.
Students who are interested in applying for this award can contact their university directly or contact the LRI to request an application and further details.

Sir Walter Raleigh is thought to have been the first person to smoke tobacco in the UK, and is thought to have done so just two fields away from where the Long Arms pub is located, in South Wraxall.
With the recent smoking ban, and credit crunch, the pub has lost several of it's regulars and landlady Jacqui Price, is hoping that running this course will help the problem. She herself will be participating in the course, and she will be encouraging her customers to do so also.
She is using a hypnotist to run the course, in the hope that her customer's habits can be changed permanently, without them having to spend money on expensive anti-smoking aids.
Ms Price said: "It's ironic that we are running a stop smoking course somewhere so closely associated with the start of smoking in this country.
"We hope a place on the course might be a nice present for somebody. Giving up smoking is hard enough, so it would be great if people were able to enjoy themselves and have a drink while they're doing it.

No matter how durable earbuds you buy or the brand you choose, they are small and prone to damages. Most commonly the cables weaken and break overtime. Sometimes, the audio jack malfunctions and very often the earplugs suffer wear and tear. No brainer; it's in human nature to throw a product in the bin when it's not working anymore, so are the poor little earbuds.
On average, the earphones on the very low-end costs around $5 and some premium ones come under $50 and some above $100. But if you throw them away every time an issue occurs, you'll be losing too much of your money each year.
Here are some of the most common damages that earbuds suffer.
- Audio Jack Failure: Plugging-in and out your audio jack with force can result in a broken wire or damaged jack.
- Torn Earplugs: The foam tips on your earbuds, if not taken care of, will eventually tear that can even damage your earcanal.
- Broken Cords: The most common damage earphones face. Majority of the people end up breaking the cord in an attempt to untangle it.
Well, here are some tips on fixing your earbuds.

David Wright said he doesn't know when he's going to be back with the Mets, but he's confident that when he does return, the stress fracture in his lower back won't be a lingering issue.
"If they allowed me to do what I want to do, which is play right now, then it would affect me," Wright said before the rest of the team left for Milwaukee, where they begin a 10-game road trip tonight. "But once it heals properly, it shouldn't hurt me. I think it will be behind me."
That's likely going to be the nagging question until Wright proves otherwise, especially after the Mets learned last week it would be another three weeks until the third baseman can resume baseball activity.
"That's why they're saying three more weeks, so that I'm fully-recovered," said Wright, who doesn't figure on getting back until July. "Obviously, it could impact you long-term if you come back too soon, and they said it's something I could I hurt more by playing through it. And then you're not out weeks, but months or maybe a year — especially if you have to get surgery. They're being as cautious as they should be."
Although Wright is confident he won't be bothered by the injury long-term, he admitted he will have to alter his workout routine, at least mildly.
"Once I get back, I'm going to keep doing the core [exercise] program I'm doing now, even after I'm healthy," said Wright, who played with the injury until finally being put on the disabled list on May 18.
"The doctors told me there are two different aspects of core muscles: The ones you work on when you do sit-ups that look good at the beach and then there's an inner-layer that supports your spine and your organs," said Wright. "Those are the things I'm working on now and will have to continue to strengthen long-term."
Beyond that, Wright said doesn't intend to change as a player.
"I've always taken pride in going out there all the time and I don't expect to be any different in the future," Wright said when asked if he would now be more likely to speak up if something is bothering him physically. "I plan on playing the way I've always played and if, God forbid, something happens, it happens. I can't change the way I play the game because I'm scared of getting hurt."
Wright said he isn't overly concerned about having more problems with the back, which he said doctors were fairly certain was the result of the now-infamous play against Houston on April 19, when Wright made an awkward move while attempting to tag Carlos Lee at third base. Wright added doctors didn't think it was an aggravation of a previous injury or a result of any other form of activity, like weightlifting.
The injury won't be completely out of his mind anytime soon, but Wright said he is hopeful he won't have to deal with it again.
"I guess it can be serious if you don't do the proper things to keep yourself healthy, but I plan on doing those things," Wright said. "That's pretty much all I can do."


text: Wrinkles, gray hair, poorer physical and cognitive health: these are some of the common manifestations of aging. But could it be possible to reverse the aging process in the future? Studies are increasingly suggesting so. In simple terms, aging is defined as the process of becoming older, which involves a number of biological mechanisms that lead to deterioration of health – both cognitive and physical – over time.

|Bugs Bunny tricks Yosemite Sam in Bugs Bunny Rides Again (1947)
In 1945, on May 5th, the cartoon, Hare Trigger, was released, introducing my favorite Bugs Bunny antagonist, Yosemite Sam.
Sam's blustery anger and gun-happy personality were always good for a laugh. Unlike Elmer Fudd, he was a villain, not a bumbling huntsman. Whether holding up a train or terrorizing a town, Yosemite Sam was always looking to cause trouble. And I found it satisfying to see the tables turned.
Sam might say "Why I'll blast the varmint wide open!" but he'd usually end up on the receiving end of the blast. ;-)
Here are a couple vids:

I was riding on a Tuesday afternoon and been riding a horse who's attention span is maybe 10 seconds. He's capable, agreeable and a big suck so a good ride if you can sort yourself out with him, but I have been struggling with him after the BSJ and been unsuccessful. All the bad habits and fears and paranoia rears its ugly head when I ride him. But, I didn't take the tumble from him... it was from another bombproof solid been-there-done-it-all hunter mount. The line approach was perfectly fine but my upper body went down, my mind stopped riding, and I decided that it would be better to bail than pull myself together.
|My own version of "summer of George"
After knee surgery and a hot pink fibre-glass cast, I have been forcibly admitted to my own "summer of George"; spending days indoors (not a bad thing with the temperatures we've been having), permanently in my pyjamas in the same chair getting caught up on a lot of TV and blogging. But, I had so much planned this summer and all of it has been dashed to pieces. Needless to say, I've been depressed on several occasions and I regularly have to be reminded by the ever patient and supportive +ADW that "LIFE HAPPENS" and at least I'll be getting better day by day--it isn't permanent, he'd add.
With all the new found free time, I have been reflecting (see, obsessing) about why I'd have two falls within a small time-frame. I'm not implying I was an amazing rider previously, but I was far more willing and confident about jumps, courses and anything else that was thrown at me when I rode. I rarely refused to ride a jump and wanted to learn everything and anything and a greener horse was not usually something that unsettled me either.
I tell myself it's not that I am incapable of riding... a few things come up though:
- Not reflecting on my lessons to determine what went well and what needs improvement--I've gotten complacent and stopped blogging regularly this year.
- Ignoring my developing physical limitations that hinder me, and not righting them with more fervor.
- Allowing negative self-talk to interfere with my self-confidence when riding.
- Expecting perfection without more work from myself.
I'm sure everyone can relate to at least one of the thoughts above, getting in the way of their own successes. It is my unwavering goal that I will take this lesson with enormity and rectify the 'wrongs' that I have let creep in.

SAN FRANCISCO --The people who crack down on crime were honored Thursday in San Francisco when the district attorney's office handed out justice awards to over 20 individuals.
They included crime victims, police officers and prosecutors.
Officer Gary Peachey and inspector Mike Philpott were recognized for getting key information that led to the arrest of a drug dealer who set a woman on fire seven years ago.
Also honored was a victim of scammers like those who targeted the Chinese community. Susan Wong was robbed but helped police identify the crooks.
Some of those recognized have been placed in the witness relocation program because of the danger they face for cooperating with police.

How To Enjoy Social Party When You're A MomFeatured November 23, 2016
On 9th November, I attended my company's annual dinner. Apparently, it is the annual dinner that everyone is looking for since it's been a few years since the last one. The dinner was at Sunway Resort & Spa in Bandar Sunway and before I forgot to mention, the theme was Ruby. You know the ruby red and ruby stone, yup that kind of theme.
|What I wore:
Long red ruby dress - Jesvyn SCM (RM 45)
Satin silk printed shawl - gift from my mom (FOC)
Nude clutch - Bonita (RM 39)
Bracelet & Necklace - Old collection
As a mom, of course there would be the guilty feeling of having good time without your kid(s), in my case without my Hanna. But remember this post ? Now, I know that I need my alone time. But how to enjoy it if I am constantly thinking about my kid. Well, I'm going to share my tips with you guys.

Pulitzer prize-winning author Jared Diamond to deliver 2006 Distinguished Lecture at Case Western Reserve University
Author to speak on his latest book, Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed
Jared Diamond, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Guns, Germs and Steel: The Fate of Human Societies will deliver the 2006 Distinguished Lecture at Case Western Reserve University. Diamond will speak about his most recent book, Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed Wednesday, March 1, 2006 beginning at 5 p.m. in Severance Hall, 11001 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland. The lecture is free and open to the public.
"It is a pleasure to welcome Professor Diamond to the Case campus as our 2006 Distinguished Lecturer," said Case President Edward M. Hundert, M.D. "His brilliant and thought-provoking books have received great critical and popular acclaim. The Case community eagerly anticipates his talk."
Diamond is also the author of The Third Chimpanzee, which won The Los Angeles Times Book award for the best science book of 1992 and Britain's 1992 Rhone-Poulenc Science Book Prize; and Why is Sex Fun? He says of his work, "I've set myself the modest task of trying to explain the broad pattern of human history, on all the continents, for the last 13,000 years. Why did history take such different evolutionary courses for peoples of different continents? This problem has fascinated me for a long time, but it's now ripe for a new synthesis because of recent advances in many fields seemingly remote from history, including molecular biology, plant and animal genetics and biogeography, archaeology, and linguistics."
In addition to being a renowned author, Diamond is a professor of geography and physiology at the University of California, Los Angeles. He has received a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship as well as research prizes from the American Physiological Society and the National Geographic Society.
Diamond holds a B.A. from Harvard and a Ph.D. from Cambridge University. Diamond has been elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the American Philosophical Society. He is a founding member of the board of the Society of Conservation Biology; and a member of the Board of Directors of World Wildlife Fund/USA.
Case inaugurated the Distinguished Lecture series in 2005 with a talk by the noted Harvard University psychologist and cognition expert Steven Pinker.

Most of our regular blog readers are probably wondering if we've stopped publishing the other stuff we used to earlier. We promise we'll be back to our regular publishing schedule soon - but for now we are enjoying the immensely diverse stories that we've received for the #6FrameStoryChallenge. We hope you are enjoying the wordless stories that land in your inbox or your feed these days too.
For a break, we wanted to share a cute little story of how one of our book covers landed on a cake. Our colleague (Karthik Shankar) is busy working on the open source story platform we are creating and swimming in conversations about technology, Creative Commons, fonts, stories and more. No wonder his son's birthday cake had an image from one of our Creative Commons licensed books.
When we teased Karthik and asked him if he attributed the tasty derivative according to the license, pat came his reply :
"Attribution was at the top of my mind (considering all the research I've been doing recently). Therefore, hit upon the idea that the best way to attribute was with a physical copy of the book. Fortunately, I had 'The Jungle School' at home. Once the cake was at the venue, I kept the book next to the cake. Over the next two hours, I initiated *many* conversations about the author, illustrator, Pratham Books and what Creative Commons means."
Belated Happy Birthday Adhvay! Wishing you a year full of tasty surprises, joyful reading and a lot of fun.
(P.S - We are already wondering what next year's cake is going to look like. You do know you have lots of options, no?)
