There Is SO much guilt associated with cancer…
What did I do to make this happen? Was it my diet? My lifestyle? Where I lived? The stress in my life?
Why me?
Why not her or him? (And then the guilt of wondering why it shouldn't be someone else…)
And the worst, why am I cancer free?
Why me?
Why not my cousin, who is now stage 4?
Why not my friend's 12-year-old daughter, Gia, who has been fighting Neuroblastoma her entire life?
Why not Tuesday?
As the 30th approaches, I always think of Tuesday. And honestly, it's not like I don't think of her daily anyway.
How can I not? I work in the oncology field because of Tuesday…
But, as the day she left this world draws closer, there's a deep hurt and deep sadness that overwhelms me.
And I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like for her family…
And today, this year, I'm left wondering…
Why me?
Why am I N.E.D?
Why did God take Tuesday and leave me?
I try to tell myself there's bigger purpose in everything and that sometimes we're just not meant to understand the answers to these questions until we're standing in front of God himself.
But sometimes I just think I'm not sure I'll ever understand…

The discovery of a life time! You want to have massive Erections in less than 15 minutes, incredible control of your sexual performances and an 'unbelievable' new level of self-confidence?
If you answered yes:its for you
There are tons of natural testosterone boosting supplements out there on the market, and though we've looked at a lot of them, sometimes it seems like we've barely scratched the surface.
So when a reader asked me what I thought about Spartagen XT, it didn't surprise me that there's one I hadn't heard of.
There are hundreds, with new ones coming out each day.
It could be possible you're suffering from symptoms of andropause — the male version of menopause. Many men accept that this is just part of getting old. Some men refuse to slow down and thankfully there's now a way to help take back control.
Your masculine drive is what can make you feel like a man. In 2014, eHarmony conducted a survey of its female members, and revealed that confidence is one of the top traits that women are attracted to. When you begin to lose that drive, it can seriously impact your confidence and self-worth.
If low performance is stopping you from keeping your partner happy both in and out of the bedroom, it can put a strain on your relationship. Spartagen XT can help renew your vigor, stamina and energy so you can put a smile back on her face.
But once I had heard of Spartagen XT, I knew I needed to check it out.
My first impressions were that Spartagen XT is fairly typical for a supplement of its kind.
They claim it increases free testosterone in your body so you can increase lean muscle mass more easily, so you can have more endurance and stamina, so you can lose fat more easily, and so you can regain that libido that has been diminished over the years.
So in order to determine if Spartagen XT can distinguish itself from the pack, we moved on to the ingredient profile.

About Sisterland
A world ruled by women. Perfect in theory - but in practise it all goes horribly wrong.
The House Where It Happened
Inspired by a true but little known story.
How a powerful elite squandered Ireland's wealth.
Ship of Dreams
A small group of survivors meet on one of the Titianic's lifeboats saved from death by random chance.
The Hollow Heart
The true story of a woman's desire to give life and how it almost destroyed her own.
The Unforgettable Journey
We met only once but that encounter never leaves me.
She was already on the train when I boarded – I took the seat opposite.
The train jolted forward and she dropped her book.
I picked it up, glancing at the title: 'Le Voyage Inoubliable' by CC Bell.
I reached into my pocket and showed her what I was reading: 'The Unforgettable Journey' by CC Bell.
She shook her head when I spoke in English. Instead of talking we gazed at one another.
Another passenger sat next to her. But we two inhabited a world of our own.
We pulled into a station and the guard chanted its name. She gasped, gave me a parting look and was gone.
Wait! She had left her weekend bag under the seat.
I wrenched open the window and called out, throwing it to her on the platform.
A whistle blew and we were separated. I knew nothing about her – and everything.
The passenger who had joined us earlier returned from the buffet car.
She frowned at the empty space. "Have you seen my bag?"

White Sand Beach
White Sand Beach Description
White Sand Beach is the three kilometre stretch of sand that was the first of Koh Chang's beaches to offer visitor accommodation in the form of basic bamboo huts. Today things have changed a great deal and White Sands has more hotels, restaurants, bars and other tourist facilities than anywhere else on Koh Chang.
Fortunately the steep hill behind the beach limits development to a narrow strip along the road. Since Koh Chang is a national park there are also rules governing the height of buildings so it is refreshing that there aren't any buildings of greater than three or four storeys to spoil the views. These factors allow White Sand beach to retain all of its charm and if you look back at the island from the sea you are treated to a glorious vista of rainforest-clad hills rising to the unfeasibly sharp peak of Chom Prasat mountain climbing over 600 metres above. If you are feeling particularly intrepid then local guides will be happy to point your way across the dense jungle slopes and lead you to amazing views from the peak.
The beach itself is a long expanse of sand that has a relatively busy southern part and a more secluded northern stretch that is sheltered behind the buttress of rock occupied by the appropriately named Rock Sand Resort that bisects the beach. The northern stretch is accessible only by foot along the sand or by driving there down the world's steepest road (probably).
In terms of accommodation White Sands offers the full range of one to five star options. Obviously you will pay a premium for beachfront but there are some good mid-range bungalows right on the sand and if you are prepared to walk a little way to get to the water then there are some very economical places to stay.
Staying at the island's most developed beach has advantages; there are scores of restaurants that offer the food of all kinds of nationalities. There are some nice little rustic bamboo beach bars, bars that offer live music like the famous Oodie's, the 'mini-Pattaya' section on the main road is home to a bevy of beer bars and there is now even a nightclub called One.
In terms of infrastructure there are plenty of banks and exchange places on the main road as well as several small supermarkets and plenty of gift shops, travel agents, diving businesses, opticians, tailors, jewellers, pharmacies… If you need it it's here.
White Sand Beach Places to Stay
As we said above White Sand Beach has a range of accommodation to suit all budgets. Some of the smaller places don't offer advance bookings so you could just take a chance and book something when you arrive – but this is a bad idea at the busier times of year.
Below we list some of the better places that you can reserve in advance.
4 Star and Above
Chang Buri Resort & Spa has two hotel blocks on both sides of the main road. It is a couple of minutes from the beach but there are two swimming pools and the waterfront one offers a great panorama down the beach.
KC Grande Resort & Spa. The ever expanding KC Grande is in the process of building another hotel block on the hill side of the road. Their current rooms include a three story hotel block and lots of luxury bungalows that sit slap bang on a huge stretch of beach.
Koh Chang Kacha Resort & Spa. Koh Chang Kacha is another large beachside hotel on White Sands. They offer beachside bungalows or rooms in a new and luxurious hotel block.
3 Star & Below
Paddy's Palms Resort. The Rooms at Paddy's Palms Resort offer some of the best value on White Sand Beach. The Resort is located behind Paddy's Palms Irish Pub on the way up the hill out of White Sand Beach. There is car parking (a rarity for White Sand Beach) and the rooms are located in two low-rise blocks beside a nice pool garden with great views of the mountain behind.
Buffalo Bill Hotel This small hotel offers good-sized, well equipped rooms above the popular Buffalo Bill Steak House just a stone's throw from the beach.
Plaloma Cliff Resort A well established White Sand Beach Resort that has waterfront bungalows a short walk from thebeach proper as well as rooms in a hillside block with great views.
Sang Arun has comfortable modern air-conditioned bungalows and is in a great position right on the sand in the centre of White Sand Beach.
Rock Sand Resort is an attractive place perched on the hillside at the north end of White Sand Beach. It is accessible only by walking up the beach so you are assured of peace and quiet and excellent views.

I used to love seeing squirrels come up and nibble on the feed I'd put out in our bird feeder. Well, let's just say I didn't love seeing them as much when I went up into my attic after hearing some scratching around up there. Turns out I was fully infested and they were everywhere. Trent was amazing and walked me through every process explaining it all before taking action. I couldn't have asked for a better, more personalized experience. He gave me his cell number and was always professional and polite through the entire process. Thanks to Trent and the whole Dr. Critter team.

Rockledge /rkld-ld/ is the oldest city in Brevard County, Florida. The city's population was 24,926 at the 2010 United States Census, and is part of the Palm BayMelbourneTitusville Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Rockledge was officially founded on August 7, 1887, making it the oldest incorporated municipality in Brevard County. The name Rockledge, attributed to Gardner S. Hardee, an early settler, comes from the many ledges of coquina rock that line the Indian River.[citation needed] Other sources refer to a man named Cephas Bailey Magruder, who built his home after settling in the area in 1876 near the Indian River. Magruder called his home "the rockledge home" and the name was eventually attributed to the whole town. It was originally referred to as Rock Ledge; the two-word name persisted through the 19th century.[11] Early industry in the area was based on the citrus trade and accommodation for tourists traveling to South Florida via the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway of the Indian River.[citation needed]
Towards the early part of the 20th century, Rockledge was known as a resort town. In the winter months, the population would rise from 200 to almost 2,000 people. Up until about 1911, access to Rockledge was via boat and rail. Steamboats in the Indian River connected with Henry Flagler's trains to bring people to the North. Small boats, sailboats, and small launches frequently stopped to unload freight and passengers. Most of the tourists in this time were wealthy and would use the boats to connect to the rail system at that time. After World War I, the automobile allowed the average person to travel to the area and their encampments dotted the area. The Dixie Highway was completed in 1915 and spanned most of Florida. In the 1920s, US1 was paved and replaced the Dixie Highway.[12]
President Grover Cleveland and his wife visited the city in 1888.[13]

April 1, 2015: Castle of Silence
We found Laya's Pendant in the Castle. Even though Laya can't equip it, I still gave it to her to hold.
We went to the temple. It reacted to Laya's Pendant and teleported us to the planet Elysium, which Siren programmed to plunge into the sun of its system.
We went to the town of Aerone and found the hidden path to the moon known as Dahlia…
There, a guard told us to find the Aero Parts for Wren down the stairs. "Use them to reach the sky city on Frigidia." Oh, boy. "There, you may find the strength to combat evil."

Pembrokeshire's celebrated coastline is arguably one of the greatest in the world. This stunning National Park was the first of its kind, designated purely for its coastline, and is worth visiting at least once in your lifetime. It has previously been ranked amongst the greatest in the world by a panel of National Geographic magazine experts, beating Costa Rica to tie second place with New Zealand's Tutukaka Coast. Along with dramatic sea cliffs and stunning wooded estuaries, Pembrokeshire is home to incredible beaches which have also been the recipients of a number of awards. Tenby beach in particular is a firm favourite with travel awards; golden sands, sheltered inlets and rugged scenery make many of the beaches on Wales' west coast an absolute pleasure to visit.
When staying at St. Brides the coast will, no doubt, be one of the highlights of your holiday. The Pembrokeshire Coast Path National Trail runs right past St. Brides Castle and will fuel you with endless walks. But for something a little different head round the coast a little way to discover a secret chapel made of stone...
If you venture south about an hour's drive, across the Milford Haven Waterway and through Pembroke, down to Bosherston you can explore a beautiful part of the coast that is home to a number of hidden gems. About a mile south of Bosherston you'll find a little car park and from here can make your way down a higgledy-piggledy flight of steps (the number of which is rumoured to change depending on the direction in which you are climbing), that descend the cliffs. You will come to a tiny old chapel which has been built into the limestone rock, perched on the edge of the cliff, overlooking the water.
The story goes that Govan was a monk who had travelled to Pembrokeshire and was in this spot on the cliffs when he was set upon by pirates. The rocks opened and a small cave appeared for him to hide in until the danger had passed. As a sign of gratitude Govan decided to stay here on the cliffs in order to always warn the locals of any imminent attacks. The chapel you see today is said to have been built over Govan's cave in the 13th century, though it's thought the site could have been a place of monastic importance since the 5th century.
Hewn from local stone and crafted delicately amongst the cliffs, this little chapel is being gradually reclaimed by the rocks. Through the small doorway you'll find two little chambers, and as you wander its rugged surroundings you'll be able to continue downwards to the outcroppings at the base of the cliffs - but do go careful!
If you really fancy stretching your legs and enjoying the sea air, there's plenty more to see. Rejoin the Pembrokeshire Coast Path and follow it (heading out on St. Govan's Head if you want) until you come to Broadhaven Beach. What has been a walk of dramatic cliff views now gives way to grassy sand dunes. Depending on the weather you could stop here for a beach picnic or paddle.
When you continue to curve inland you'll next come to the Bosherston Lakes with their marvellous displays of waterlilies and their lovable resident otters. It's a really beautiful area to explore, now part of a National Nature Reserve and cared for by the National Trust. Enjoy the change of scenery as you wander the wooded pathways and take in the peaceful lakeside habitats. When you eventually come to return to your car, loop round via the village of Bosherston in order to make use of facilities or stop in at the café for a pick-me-up cuppa.
This is a great little adventure that includes a whole range of scenery, an assortment of walking terrain and interesting history too! Take a look on google maps at the route.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Maryland's Malissa Boles and Katrina Colleton can be excused for feeling a bit star-struck as they practice for the U.S. Olympic trials in women's basketball.
Over on court 1 is Nancy Lieberman-Cline, a former Olympian and four-time All-American, juking a competitor out of her socks.
On court 3 is Cheryl Miller, another former Olympian and four-time All-American, providing the dictionary definition of denial defense.
On court 2, former Georgia All-American and two-time Olympian Teresa Edwards, widely acclaimed as the best women's player in the world, sweeps in for a layup.
So, what are Boles and Colleton doing in a place like this with players like these? After all, Boles and Colleton each have a year of college left, and most of the 56 invitees here at the Olympic Training Center have not only finished college, but also have played professionally overseas.

Bulls Rumors Blog – The Chicago Bulls once again look poised for another deep playoff, despite their coaching change this summer. However, with Joakim Noah sidelined for the next four to six months, the Bulls are expected to be a player on the trading block weeks heading into the midseason deadline.
Joakim Noah playing his final game with Bulls: Several NBA pundits, including veteran NBA writer Sam Smith, believed the former Defensive Player of the Year played his last game in Windy City as he's set to become an unrestricted free-agent this summer.
It's a devastating injury not only for Noah but the Bulls' championship hope this season, having lost their main defensive man down low. On the other hand, it could be a blessing in disguise for the Bulls other bigmen like Taj Gibson and rookie Bobby Portis. They will be given chances to step up as they will share the chunk of Noah's minutes on the floor.
With regards to a proposed Bulls-Knicks trade involving Pau Gasol and Arron Afflalo by FanSided reporter Tom West of FanSided, the timing of this potential deal couldn't get any worse. Sending Gasol to the Knicks was feasible when the Bulls were in excess of big men. But with Noah down, the Bulls will heavily depend on Gasol to produce on both ends of the floor.
They can't afford to lose another All-Star big man just to address their need in their backcourt. Perhaps, Tony Snell or Mike Dunleavy can be thrown as trade chips, but not Gasol who has become the Bulls premier scorer in the paint the past two seasons. And honestly, the Bulls offense is just fine.
They are averaging 101.6 points per game via ESPN Stats, but are allowing opponents to score at least 100 points. All they need to do now is to recapture that furious defensive mentality they had under Tom Thibodeau and incorporate it with Fred Hoiberg's offense to make them a two-way juggernaut. With that, it's no longer a necessity for these teams to enter into a trade that involves two significant players on their roster. Gasol will stay with the Bulls and Afflalo with the Knicks.

Renting vs. Owning a Home
A financial plan makes the choice clearer.
Should I buy my first home?
It's easy to get tired of paying rent. And owning your first home is a rite of passage. But is it right for you? You need to account for all the expenses of home ownership. Your mortgage payment is just one element. You need to think about a down payment, closing costs, taxes, and condo and maintenance fees.
Sometimes waiting and saving some money while renting will help you build up a significant down payment. And a bigger down payment can mean you are debt-free faster.
Put your home buying plans in your financial plan
An MD Advisor can help you choose the right time to become a home owner. Your advisor will make sure your home-buying plans are integrated in an overall financial plan designed to support you through residency and your practising years.
To talk to an MD Advisor, contact MD Financial Management or call 1 866 243-9505.
Get the right mortgage
Fixed rate? Variable rate? A combination of the two? Your MD advisor and National Bank's Partnership Branch can help you find the mortgage solution* that best meets your needs.
Protect your most valuable asset
Your home might be your single most valuable asset. Ask your MD advisor how our insurance solutions can protect you, your family and your home from the financial impact of an unforeseen event.
We can help you choose between renting and buying a house. Contact an MD Advisor.

Over the past week I have been trying to incorporate more kale in my life since it is such a great fibrous green!
Here is a super easy and SUPER tasty dish that makes around 6 servings. I choose red lentil pasta because I was curious about how it would taste compared to brown rice pasta (it is softer and closer to texture of white wheat pasta); I picked it up from Noah's in the grain aisle. The mushrooms in the recipe have great anti-cancer properties, while the onion and garlic help boost immune function, and shrimp adds some lean protein.
This dish has lots of room for substitutions and additions making it gluten and dairy free. So feel free to get creative!
|Red Lentil Fusilli
- 250g red lentil fusilli (or whatever type of pasta you wish--brown rice or soba noodles work well too)
- 2.5 cups oyster mushrooms (add shiitake mushrooms too for extra flavour)
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1.5 spanish onions
- 2 cups cooked shrimp (tofu and chicken are good substituted as well)
- 3 cups kale
- 4 garlic cloves
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3/4 cups light parmesan cheese
- In a large stove top cooking pan start sautéing onion and mushrooms until onions are translucent and mushrooms are soft; keep covered
- Add broccoli and kale; keep cooking until kale is wilted and broccoli is soft
- In another larger pot cook pasta (al dente)
- While pasta is cooking add garlic and cooked peeled shrimp into the pan.
- Strain pasta and add to stove top pan with veggies and shrimp; remove from heat
- Drizzle olive oil over dish; just enough to cover lightly (approx. 4-5 tbsp)
- Add salt and pepper to taste
- While still warm you can add parmesan cheese (if you want an extra tasty dish and have no dairy issues!)
Bon appetit!

|Sea lion at Holywood
I took advantage of the one summerlike day this week and took Smudge to the beach with Julie and Minnie. A sea lion was basking on a rock but unfortunately as I got closer it dived into the sea.
The weather turned around completely so Miss K and I had a day inside and very appropriately watched Balamory episode about rain. As we learned about reflections we made an umbrella, puddle and a hand mirror.

PI: Roel Brienen (University of Leeds)
Overview: The Amazon rainforest may be very vulnerable to climate change. If the earth warms as predicted, much of the Amazon rainforest could disappear by the end of the century, as tropical trees should be unable to cope with higher temperatures and frequent droughts in the future. Such a 'die-back' of the Amazon rainforest could be disastrous for global warming, as the vast stores of carbon contained in the Amazon would be emitted back into the atmosphere as greenhouse gases. This will speed-up global warming. Such a scenario is predicted by computer models that simulate responses of vegetation to climate. However, it is still very uncertain how sensitive rainforest trees are to changes in climate like increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations, higher temperatures, and droughts. One way of getting insights into how trees will respond to future climate is by looking at how trees have responded to similar conditions in the past. An effective approach of doing this is by using tree rings, as they provide an historical archive of growth rates over their entire life (i.e., 200 years or more), which can be related to the climate conditions at the time of ring-formation. Therefore, I propose to use tree rings of tropical trees to assess how sensitive trees have been to changes in temperature, drought, solar radiation, and increases in atmospheric CO2-concentrations over the last century.
I will measure ring widths and stable isotope concentrations in tree rings to analyse the responses of tree growth to climatic and atmospheric changes. Ring width measurements will give insight in growth responses, and carbon isotopes will help understand the underlying processes behind any growth responses by giving detailed information on photosynthesis and plant water use. By linking year to year variation in growth rates to variation in droughts, temperature and solar radiation, I will determine the main climatic factors controlling tropical tree growth. My study will improve our understanding of sensitivity of tropical trees to predicted changes in climate and increasing atmospheric CO2 and allow a better assessment of the likelihood of the predicted disappearance of the Amazon rainforest over the next century.

As a member of the IWC, you are asked to participate in your group's bar duty once a year and to pay your dues on time. The rest is up to you. Obviously, the more active you are, the more you can get out of the Club. There are numerous activities and interest groups available, and you are more than welcome to set up one of your own. The area groups, in particular, can be very helpful in settling in and making those first important contacts.
Jo Stephenson runs the highly popular Baking Group which not only gives our ladies a chance to learn how to make all sorts of interesting tasty treats but because it's such a multi-cultural group we get to get to learn about each other whilst we sit down afterwards and try what we have baked. It's always such fun and always a 'hands-on' experience.
For many of our working/studying IWC members who are unable to join in daytime activities, we have decided to start a Ladies Night Out. The idea is for a small group of newcomers, as well as old timers, to get together informally one evening a month, either in town or at someone's house and do something 'gezellig' – watch a movie, go out for dinner, or just sit around and talk. The date, time, place and activity will be announced on our website, rather than in the newsletter, so be sure to check it regularly. Contact @Westerhof for more details.
Ladies, are you an enthusiastic reader looking for a chance to talk about books, pick up reading suggestions and meet new friends? You do not need to be a book critic to join the Book Club, just a book lover! We always welcome new members into our group, which meets approximately every six weeks in the evening from 8.00p.m. We have also shared favourite poetry and will at future sessions. Any poets/poems welcome! Please contact @Roeleveld. for information about our first meeting.
The country walk is organised every month, usually in the 3rd week on a different day. It is a walk of approximately 1½ hour that will lead you through the most beautiful parts of South Limburg. It is a nice way of getting to know the area. For details of the walk see elsewhere in the newsletter. Contact mail to:@Torres
We want to thank Agnes Mol for the many years of enthusiastic work in the Country Walk team. Jeanne Zwaans will take over Agnes work in our team. Applause for both.
Use up those old fabric scraps! All levels of proficiency are welcome at this group that meets twice a month in each other's homes. Fabric scrap donations are also welcome. Contact @Beurskens
Ineke van G. organises cultural trips on a regular basis for the club. If you would like more information please contact @Blair
Are you interested in coming along to an "art group"? we are amateur watercolour artists who are happy to host a Watercolour group once per week "Mondays" usually but this is not fixed. Help and advice freely given, if necessary. For further information call me or email. The dates are flexible as the group is still small. We can probably work with your schedule if you are interested in coming. Contact @Bodde .
Do you like cooking, or is it just a necessary evil? Want to learn something different with an ethnic twist AND have fun in the process? Why not try some different styles of cooking. After all, variety is the spice of life! Contact Martha Tuninga, @Tuninga
English as a second language, all levels. Weekly, on Tuesday afternoons. Contact @Roosmalen
Spanish conversation, Spanish natives and fluently Spanish speaking meet monthly, as convenient at each other's houses. Interested? Contact firstname.lastname@example.com. for more information. NEW! Beginners group Spanish lessons.
Dutch conversation, Dutch for expats, all levels. Days to be arranged. Contact @Westerhof
Japanese tea/conversation time! Nihongo no oshaberikai! We meet monthly at each others home. Interested? Contact firstname.lastname@example.com

Members of Windsor police's emergency services unit approach the front of a house in the 1500 block of Betts Avenue Friday afternoon. The standoff was linked to a shooting in the early-morning hours at a residence in Amherstburg. A man located inside the Betts residence was found dead.
One person is dead and a 31-yearold man is in a Detroit-area hospital in stable condition with a gunshot wound after a shooting in the early hours of Friday morning.
The chain of events began about 2:30 a.m. when Amherstburg police responded to an incident in the 100 block of Sandwich Street. An Amherstburg man was found shot and rushed to hospital in Windsor before being transferred to a Detroit hospital.
In Windsor, around noon, Amherstburg police officers and members of the Windsor police emergency services unit surrounded a residence in the 1500 block of Betts Avenue. Investigators had determined that a male wanted in relation to the shooting was believed to be in the residence.
The two police services secured the location and informed local school boards and the public that the target residence was contained and there was no threat to public safety.
Members of the public were asked to avoid the area.
Around 2 p.m., after making repeated attempts to communicate with the individual being sought, tactical officers drew their weapons and entered an unattached garage at the address.
Inside the garage, officers discovered a deceased male.
Betts Avenue was still closed as of 5 p.m. Friday, and police said it would remain so until further notice as the investigation continued.
West-end resident Travis Reitsma said he was biking home when he was confronted by the sight of police officers cordoning off the neighbourhood. "They've been standing around with assault rifles and encouraging the person inside the house to come out."
The Special Investigations Unit is looking into the matter. The civilian agency, which operates independently from police, investigates circumstances involving police and civilians that result in serious injury or death.
SIU has invoked its mandate and as such, the Windsor Police Service said it was not in a position to release any further information at this time.
Earlier Friday, Amherstburg police had shut down Sandwich Street between Texas Road and St. Arnaud Street to examine the scene of the shooting.
Several houses in an area just north of Grant Avenue were taped off. Sandwich Street was finally reopened to motorists around 1:30 p.m., but a section of Grant Avenue remained closed.
Despite nine hours of street closures, Amherstburg police stated there were no public safety concerns in relation to the investigation. Anyone who witnessed the shooting incident or may have information relevant to the investigation is encouraged to call Amherstburg police at 519-736-3622.
Anonymous tips can be made via Crime Stoppers at 519-258-8477 or www.catchcrooks.com.

LONDON — Handmade Films Intl. has teamed up with Madrid-based Ilion Animation Studios to finance and co-produce "Planet One," a $50 million CGI movie written by "Shrek" scribe Joe Stillman.
The film will be directed by Jorge Blanco, the lead artist on vidgame series "Commandos."
Production is set to start in May, with the theatrical release targeted for Christmas 2008 or Easter 2009.
Pic is an alien invasion story about the inhabitants of Planet One, and who have two antennae and eight fingers, live in a world strangely akin to American suburbia of the 1950s, with drive-in movies, picket fences and a persistent fear of alien invasion — which is fulfilled when a human astronaut lands in their midst.
Apart from contributing to the screenplays of all three "Shrek" movies, Stillman also worked with Mike Judge on his series "Beavis and Butthead" and "King of the Hill."
Ilion's Ignacio Perez Dolest will produce "Planet One," with Handmade's Guy Collins and Michael Ryan as co-producers, along with Albie Hecht, former head of Nickelodeon's film and TV entertainment department, and Lola Film president Andres Vicente Gomez.
Ilion is the theatrical production offshoot of Spain's Pyro Studios, creators of the "Commandos" vidgame series. Pyro is simultaneously developing a vidgame of "Planet One." Another sister company, mobile content developer LaNatro Zed, will cross-promote the movie on its cell phone network.

The Westlake City School District held a groundbreaking ceremony to celebrate the beginning of the construction project for the new elementary school building that will rise on the grounds adjacent to Westlake Porter Library.
The new building will serve Pre-K through fourth-grade students. It is set to open for the 2019-2020 school year. It will replace Holly Lane, Hilliard, Dover and Bassett Elementary Schools.
"We are excited to begin the next chapter in our district's history of delivering educational excellence," said Superintendent Scott Goggin at the Sept. 25 groundbreaking. "This new state-of-the-art facility will enable us to provide our students with the resources they need to thrive in a top-notch learning environment."
The event included a symbolic turning of the dirt by the Citizens For Westlake Schools campaign team, Superintendent Scott Goggin, Board of Education members, Mayor Dennis Clough, City Council members, elementary school principals and staff representatives and elementary school students.
The event also included remarks by the Board of Education, Citizens For Westlake Schools Campaign Director Jenn Frey, Mayor Clough and Westlake students. There were performances from the elementary choir.
The groundbreaking ceremony initiates phase two of the Westlake City Schools Master Facilities Plan.
"This project was made possible thanks to the commitment of the Board of Education and the efforts of the Citizens For Westlake Schools Campaign Committee," said Goggin. "We thank the Westlake community for supporting our pursuit of excellence for all Westlake students."
Following the groundbreaking ceremony, community members were invited to attend the Board of Education meeting at the Westlake Porter Public Library.

Liverpool Garden Festival site reopening delayed
The reopening of Liverpool's Festival Gardens has been postponed after the main contractor went into administration.
Mayfield Construction was close to completing the multimillion-pound restoration of the waterfront site.
It is hoped a new contractor will be able to finish the work on the gardens in time for them to open in September.
Owner Langtree is renovating the site, which fell into into disrepair after changing hands several times.
Langtree has drafted in temporary maintenance staff until a new contractor is appointed.
'Lose money'
"We are sad that Mayfield has found itself in this predicament having almost completed the works necessary at the site," said Langtree managing director John Downes.
"Good people have lost their jobs, the opening date for the gardens will unfortunately be delayed and we, like a number of other companies, are likely to lose money as a result of Mayfield's collapse."
Mayfield went into administration on 8 July.
More than three million people visited the site in south Liverpool after its official opening by the Queen in 1984.
The 1984 International Garden Festival was billed as a "five-month pageant of horticultural excellence and spectacular entertainment".
It contained more than 60 individual gardens, a Festival Hall, public pavilions and miniature railway.
Restoration work costing £3.7m, funded by the former North West Development Agency, began in February 2010.
It had been hoped the gardens would be ready to reopen this month.

Washing Dishes
My children thought it would be fun. I thought, what the heck! Something they could do for 10 or 15 minutes that would entertain them. And at worst, I might lose a bowl, and have soapy water pre-applied to some areas that needed cleaning anyway.
And then there is stacking.
I will not try to ask or understand the hows and whys of the saturated towel that was allegedly used for drying. I will forever remain perplexed by that because of the pools of water in and around the dishes. Two of the three children required changes of clothing after this little adventure. But, they all took turns at washing, rinsing and drying. And no one pushed anyone else off a barstool. And now I won't have to scrape the dishes before they go into the dishwasher. So that's cool.

Sweet! My 2.5 year old loves to help put things in the dish rack (when I am not using the dishwasher) and his stacking abilities are right on par with your kids'. But he loves doing it, so I can't deny him! ;-)ReplyDelete
what a great idea! I'm sure the kids had fun. :) Oh, and I love your blog title "momsense" how fun!ReplyDelete

It has apparently begun to dawn on the rest of Barack Obama's party that his strategy of insisting that everything he's doing is working great, and he's never made a national-security mistake, is electoral suicide.
The New York Times comically describes Democrats as "eager to put their own stamp on the fight against terrorism," which might be the least accurate statement the Grey Lady has published this year, and that's not an easy hurdle to clear. The only thing Democrats are less eager to deal with than Islamist terrorism is the FBI report on Hillary Clinton's email server.
According to the NYT, Democrat proposals include the creation of an "ISIS czar," which sounds like something that would come out of a satirical parody of Democrat national-security deliberations. I know – let's create some new slots in the bureaucracy! That always fixes things! We already have a position to handle ISIS, kids. It's called "The President of the United States." The problem is the occupant of the office, not its job description.
The Democrats also proposed what the Times describes as the "continuation of targeted airstrikes on ISIS strongholds and oil supply lines," without mentioning that we just got around to bombing those supply lines a few weeks ago.
They also want sanctions against nations that "facilitate financial transactions with ISIS," which ought to work as well as the sanctions that Obama just abandoned against Iran.
Then we've got Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid saying his caucus understands "the Syrian civil war will only be resolved diplomatically, with all parties supporting the eventual removal of Assad," a possibility that seems increasingly remote with Russia and Iran calling the shots after years of Obama weakness.
To address the threat of terrorism, Senate Democrats seek to "tighten a visa waiver program with friendly countries, study encryption technology and improve airport security," which is odd, because we've had a $7 billion Transportation Security Agency – another triumph of Big Government! – working on improving it for over a decade.
And, of course, Democrats are hell-bent on their stupid "strip Constitutional gun rights from people on the no-fly list," which is the only measure they're really interested in. They're back to talking about "closing loopholes," which should make every liberty-minded American nervous as hell. Also, they're pulling their usual bait-and-switch routine on gun control, because the list actually referenced by their legislative proposals is vastly larger than the "no-fly" list they keep mentioning.
Not a single one of these Democrat proposals bears the slightest relationship to what actually happened in San Bernardino. Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik didn't care about ISIS czars, they shopped around with other terrorist groups before settling on ISIS, they wouldn't have become peaceable model citizens if Bashar Assad was knocked off his throne, Malik wasn't on a visa waiver, she waltzed right through Obama's security screenings, the couple wasn't on any no-fly list, they passed rigorous background checks to get their handguns, and their rifles were apparently a straw purchase that was highly illegal under current law, possibly including weapon modifications that violated California law. It's almost as if violent criminals and jihad killers don't give a damn about Democrat gun control laws.
One Democrat-supported measure that would be relevant to what we know about the San Bernardino jihadis, and which might win bipartisan support, is highly problematic: Senator Dianne Feinstein's legislation to "require social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, to alert federal officials about online terrorist activity," as The Hill describes it.
Tech companies have generally opposed such legislation, and The Hill recounts another Democrat, Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon, blocking a previous attempt by Feinstein to move her legislation. Free-speech activists worry about vague language in the bill, and of course social-media providers are probably concerned they'll face legal and financial jeopardy, on top of compliance costs. However, there have been long-standing voluntary efforts to keep terrorist propaganda off social media, and those efforts seem to be intensifying after first Paris, and then San Bernardino.
Internet control is a very tough issue, because every effort to crush terrorist communications carries the threat of harming other forms of expression, creating censorship tools that could be misused for other purposes in the future. It's clear that social media is a powerful asset for the Islamic State, whose recruiting is reportedly still going gangbusters, despite years of effort to choke it off. In fact, their efforts are now expanding into China.
But Americans are both eager for security, and nervous about surveillance. "Social media companies shouldn't take on the job of censoring speech on behalf of any government, and they certainly shouldn't do so voluntarily," said Danny O'Brien of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, quoted in a USA Today story about Feinstein's legislation. "Who defines 'terrorism'? Does Facebook, for example, intend to enforce its policies only against those that the United States government describes as terrorists, or will it also respond if Russia says someone is a terrorist? Israel? Saudi Arabia? Syria? The same questions apply to the speech that might be targeted."
It's a tough call… much tougher than Democrats proposing useless, constitutionally-dubious gun-control measures for cultural-signaling purposes, or crossing their fingers and hoping the Syrian civil war ends soon.

Feel Like Christmas
4 comments:
Merry Christmas, I hope you will get into the spirit in time!ReplyDelete
I also wish you Merry Christmas from Spain. Thanks a lot.ReplyDelete
Your words echo my own feelings. It is time for me to put on all the records my kids loved to play at Christmas and sing along with the Chipmunks. Sadly, Christmas has become just another day off of work, a day of stressing out over the gifts you are giving and the people who invite themselves into your home, a day of keeping up with what the guy next door is doing. I wish people would slow down, stand still, breathe in the true meaning of the holiday, the joy of loved ones to share it with. Blessings to You and Yours this Holiday Season and Throughout the New Year, from Port Huron, Michigan.ReplyDelete
Feliz Navidad celebro que hayas recogido el espíritu navideño para estas fiestas.ReplyDelete
Un abrazo

No matter how hard it is, you need to stay focused and alert when you are mourning the death of a loved one. During this time, the bereaved family needs to provide their departed loved one a decent burial. Luckily, there are many funeral care services to choose from.
To make sure that you are hiring the right funeral service, keep in mind the following questions:
1. What services do you provide? Funeral care services companies offers both burial and cremation services. If the deceased requested to be cremated, the loved ones should do their best to follow this request. Ask the company about their funeral packages. They usually let the family choose between different kinds of urns and vessels where the ashes will be stored.
2. What type of service fits our budget? Funeral care companies can help customize their funeral services to fit your budget. Do not be afraid to ask this question as they are always ready to help you out.
3. How much do we need to pay? Funeral companies usually have a list of funeral service packages with their corresponding prices. You can inquire about this by placing a phone call or dropping by their office.
4. How many years have you been operating? It is necessary that you hire a funeral care company with a lot of experience. The longer they have been in business, the better the service. Make sure that the company is reputable and duly licensed.
5. What information do you need to make the arrangements? Funeral care companies have funeral directors that can help you obtain the necessary papers and effects such as the death certificate and the urn or casket. For them to be able to help you with these, make sure you are able to provide them the necessary information.
If the deceased does not have a preplanned funeral care, the family should meet with a funeral care company. This might feel like a daunting task especially because everyone is in an emotional state, but funeral home directors and personnel can guide you in this difficult experience.

Week 2 is in the books and that means more definition of exactly who individual players and teams really are. At least that's the hope as we take a look at our favorites for some of the biggest awards Big Ten football has to offer.
That's right, we're back with our look at the races for the Silver Ball, Offensive and Defensive Player of the Year, Freshman of the Year and Coach of the Year. We now have a better sample size to pull from (and remember we're only taking this season in to consideration).
Given the struggles of some big named teams in Week 2, will any of them drop in the rankings? Are there any newcomers to the fold?
Let's get right in to looking at the players and coaches making an impact on the Big Ten through two weeks of play.
