Omega 3 (2006) & Macular Degeneration
This article discusses two key studies about the relationship between omega-3 intake and macular degeneration.
Design of the Studies:
- Observational prospective study -- mean follow of 5 years
- Observational retrospective study
- 2895 adults > 49 years of age at baseline for whom baseline food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) data were available.
- 681 elderly male twins of whom 222 had age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and 459 did not.
Main Outcome Measures:
- FFQ data were analyzed, looking for variables associated with the risk of AMD.
- Subjects were grouped by smoking status and by quantity and quality of dietary fat intake.
Key Findings:
- Subjects in the highest quintile of omega-3 fatty acid intake had a 59% lower risk for AMD compared with those in the lowest quintile of intake (95% CI, 0.22-0.75). Those eating fish once per week had a 42% reduction in risk compared with those with a minimal fish intake (95% CI, 0.37-0.90). Those consuming fish > three times per week had a 75% reduced risk (95% CI, 0.06-1.00).
- After multivariate analysis, those consuming fish > twice per week had a statistically significant 37% reduction in risk compared with those consuming less than one serving per week. Those with a median intake of 350 mg of omega-3 oil (the top quartile of intake) had an adjusted 45% lower risk of AMD compared with those consuming only 60 mg/day (the lowest quintile of intake, p=0.02). The protection associated with EPA/DHA intake occurred primarily in those consuming relatively low levels of linoleic acid (adjusted odds ratio of 0.23, p<0.001). Current smokers had almost twice the risk for AMD compared with those who never smoked (p=0.06).
Practice Implications:
Allopathic treatment for AMD is relatively ineffective for most patients. Until now, most of the emphasis in prevention and treatment in the realm of natural medicine has focused on the use of lutein and zinc, though a small body of evidence suggested fish consumption might reduce the risk of AMD (Arch Ophthalmol 2000;118:401-4). Both new studies confirm a strong and consistent inverse correlation between EPA, DHA, and fish consumption and AMD.
The study by Chua and colleagues also tracked alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) intake -- the vegetarian omega-3 oil that partially bioconverts to EPA. In terms of 5-year risk for early AMD, ALA showed the same protective effect, as did EPA/DHA. However, though this difference was not statistically significant, for late AMD, those in the lowest quintile of ALA intake had a lower risk than those consuming more ALA. Until more is known, therefore, there is little reason to assume ALA has the same protective effect that EPA and DHA appear to have.
Chua's findings regarding associations between total fat, monounsaturated
fatty acids, trans fatty acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids [PUFA], and
saturated fatty acids, and AMD risk conflict with previously published
research (Arch Ophthalmol 2003;12:1728-37). Therefore, we don't know enough
about the possible effects of these variables to alter clinical practice.
Findings from the study by Seddon and colleagues, suggest that cessation from smoking combined with a modest increase in fish or omega-3 fatty acid intake would literally cut the risk for AMD in half. Implementing appropriate changes could save vision in many elderly people. But what sense do these findings make?
Experimental reports show that DHA protects against retinal oxidative damage. Also, an inflammatory component to AMD has been reported, and EPA and DHA have known antiinflammatory actions. That said, for the most part we still do not understand how EPA and DHA protect against AMD.
Despite a lack of understanding, encouraging patients to increase intake of fatty fish makes sense. After considering the favorable risk-to-benefit ratio, an argument can also be made for discussing supplementation of EPA/DHA with AMD patients. Optimal dosing remains unclear, but even a few hundred milligrams per day of EPA plus DHA would reach well into the dietary intake reported by those experiencing a protective effect.

SACRAMENTO – The California Technology Agency today launched the California GeoPortal, an interactive and user-friendly gateway to thousands of geographic data sources around the country.
"California's new GeoPortal organizes important geographic data and makes it more accessible and useful," said Secretary Carlos Ramos. "This innovation increases government transparency, boosts efficiency and saves the State money."
The California GeoPortal helps find solutions to real-world problems such as locating a new business or helping choose a new place to live. The GeoPortal gathers thousands of data sources such as demographics, environmental hazards, school information and transportation, and makes the information more accessible and useful. The GeoPortal strengthens these databases by combining information and making it customizable.
"For the first time in our history, California is taking a statewide approach to sharing data and mapping it to provide a visual location based view for our stakeholders – both public and private industry," said Scott Gregory, California's Geographic Information Officer. "By making these diverse resources accessible and relevant, it becomes a very efficient and powerful decision making tool for all Californians."
"The GeoPortal is a groundbreaking tool enhancing collaboration and data sharing among the public and private sector," said Carl Guardino, the Chief Executive Officer of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group. "Business will have accurate and relevant data at their fingertips, supporting their decisions to help grow California's economy."
California's GeoPortal is a comprehensive catalog of thousands of data sources from federal, state, county, city, tribal and education geographic resources. Users can access the GeoPortal from the web without having to login to another system, streamlining access to government derived and developed data.
"The ability to share geospatial data through a single public source will be a tremendous benefit to the academic institutions in California," said Dr. Shawna Dark, Department of Geography Chair, California State University, Northridge.
The GeoPortal is a service offering by the California Technology Agency to state and local agencies and departments at no cost. It is a tool to be leveraged by organizations to catalog and manage their geographic data resources. Organizations will be able to register their geographic data content on the GeoPortal and securely manage their information. It has a robust set of management tools that allow organizations to edit, upload and maintain geographic information. The end result is a more comprehensive and authoritative data resource for geographic data in California.

Check this out:
I really do not expect anything other than this to happen in India, especially because the student traveling has a respect for education. Though she could try to be more brave, yet, how do I now what consequences she is facing? Please do not mind me talking about India so much, as it does not even relate to me one bit. My goal is to try to expose corruption because it is very demeaning, and in India's case there is a lot. You can blame the government, after all, where is law and order?

Discover Boulder, CO
Built at the foot of the Rocky Mountains' Flatirons and just 40 minutes from the heart of Denver, Boulder, CO, is the perfect place to rent an RV. Between the outdoorsy culture and the breathtaking hikes, vistas and views, Boulder RV rentals offer an unmatched chance to experience the raw power of the American West. The land out here is untouched and untamed. Although a Boulder motorhome rental will put you just 30 minutes from nearby Longmont, CO and about 20 minutes from Broomfield and Lafayette, the sprawling Rocky Mountain National Park is this city's backyard. Book an RV in Boulder County today to see why so many have come to visit this unique city.
The Great Outdoors
The outdoorsy soul could not ask for a better city than Boulder, CO. It boasts over 300 miles of hiking and biking trails, along with 45,000 acres of untouched open spaces. If you're looking for an easy hike that still offers stunning views of the surrounding area, take your Boulder RV rental over to the Flagstaff Nature Center, which gives easy access to the family-friendly Boy Scout Trail.
Feeling a little more adventurous? Check out Eldorado Canyon. This magnificent area features towering sandstone cliffs studded with 500 rock climbing locations. Be sure to keep an eye out for the local wildlife, too. The mountains around Boulder hold everything from the relatively gentle mule deer and elk to black bears, coyotes and mountain lions! No view is like the last in Eldorado Canyon, either. The area is blanketed in Douglas firs, ponderosa pine savanna, prairie, and shrubland, so there's something new to check out no matter where you go. Eldorado State Park offers opportunities for fishing, horseback riding, hiking, mountain biking and much, much more.
Other parks to check out with your Boulder motorhome rental include Moraine Park, a gathering place for more than 3,000 elk and 800 bighorn sheep, and Golden Gate Canyon National Park, which is comprised of 12,000 acres of meadows and aspen forest. And of course, don't miss out on the famous Rocky Mountain National Park. It's the third most-visited national park in the country. And if you're feeling up for a challenge, be sure to check out Boulder's most popular trail, the Royal Arch Trail. It's a pretty strenuous hike, but the trail's massive namesake sandstone arch more than makes up for it. You can see the entire city of Boulder and beyond, framed beneath the rock.
Other great trails around the city include the Canyon Loop Trail, which offers unmatched views of Boulder Canyon, Walter Ranch Loop, just west of Boulder, Wonderland Lake Loop Trail, in the foothills of North Boulder, and Mallory Cave Trail (note that the cave itself is closed several months of the year for the sake of its bats).
RV Parks
There are a number of nearby parks equipped to house your Boulder RV rental. In Longwood, for instance, you'll find Countrywood Inn & RV Park, a 20-space area that comes with high-speed WiFi, showers and restrooms, a laundromat, and other facilities. It's just 15 minutes out from Boulder, and prime sailing and motor boating areas are just 10 to 35 minutes away. A little further out, in Wheat Ridge, you'll find Prospect RV Park, which offers full hookups. It's just a few blocks from a Walmart and Camping World Superstore, and good shopping and restaurant areas are nearby.
If you're looking to get a little more primitive with your rental, you might consider Peaceful Valley Campground. That's located in a glacial valley on the banks of the Middle Saint Vrain Creek in Rocky Mountain National Park. At an elevation of 8,500 feet, Peaceful Valley is near a number of top-notch trails, including Sourdough Trail and Buchanan Pass Trail. Be aware, though, there are no utility hookups available at this campground, and the maximum vehicle length is 45 feet.
Exploring the City
In addition to these unmatched hiking opportunities, your Boulder, CO motorhome rental will also bring you in touch with a thriving local community. Explore the University of Colorado Boulder's beautiful campus and amenities, including the Fiske Planetarium, the CU Art Museum (spanning 10,000 years of human cultural development), and the annual Colorado Shakespeare Festival. In downtown Boulder, be sure to check out Pearl Street, a four-block pedestrian mall with gardens, art and public performances. Also, remember to swing by Boulder's Celestial Seasoning's plant. They're the largest tea manufacturer in North America, and you can see their production floor, taste all their famous teas, and even catch a whiff of their mint room. It's all totally free.
If you're still in the mood for more tea after all that, take a quick break at the Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse, built by artisans from Boulder's sister city, Dushanbe, Tajikistan. The entire interior is covered in vibrant carvings and paintings. And while you're out experiencing some of the local culture, why not head over to the historic Boulder Theater. The theater's been in operation since 1906. Boulder also has a thriving mountain bike culture. The majority of residents own one, and every Thursday in the spring, summer and fall, thousands take the streets in themed costumes for the Boulder Cruiser Ride.

Field Notes from the Reservation: The dogs, a trench and other glimpses into La Plant
Alex Gross
Today's post is brought to you by Ben and Maeve, two volunteers spending their week in La Plant with the Saint Michael's College M.O.V.E. group of Vermont.
As outsiders at the Cheyenne River Reservation, our group of Saint Mike's comrades has experienced moments of ignorance, instances of understanding, and in both cases, glimpses into the reality of life in La Plant. Throughout this, we have all been fortunate enough to forge friendships with both the local people of La Plant and the Simply Smiles staff. All of these people have contributed in their own way to an incredibly eye-opening exchange of story, culture, knowledge, and emotion.
There are three dogs. Well, there are more than three dogs, but Cowgirl, Lady, and Copper have spent the most time around our group; and hence play an integral part in the group dynamic. In the mornings, we drive the bus from the community center to the high school where Simply Smiles hosts the morning walking program - Walk On! - at the track. The dogs follow, entertaining themselves by barking at and sometimes coming close enough to nip at the rubber tires of the 40 foot school bus, constantly pushing the limits of imminent death. This, of course, creates high anxiety for the school bus travelers who can't understand the sheer stupidity of the carefree animals. But despite their actions, they are so darn cute.
The best and worst part is that other canines in the town join this mayhem, a parade of pets pawing the line between life and death. Brian has given Copper the nickname "Burrito" for the shape of his body. Not only has he given the dog another name, he even claims Copper is his ideal pet dog. Despite the ticks that haunt the grassy prairie, Brian will pet and play with Copper endlessly, sharing and participating in the lively and exuberant nature of the playful so-called burrito. Unlike dogs where we're from, these ones sleep and live outside, their allegiance undetermined by a bag of dog food or a PetCo bed. To the dogs where we come from, Copper, Lady and the other dogs of La Plant would appear to live freely, but dangerously. This inherent freedom mirrors that of the endless prairie that seems to go on forever here in South Dakota, and is foreign to us tree-and-mountain-dwelling Vermonters.
At a very specific location of this expansive geography, our group has been doing our part to contribute to the construction of Simply Smiles' current home-building project. This week, we strapping young college students have been working to dig a trench for the water and electric lines of the new house. We're (generously) halfway there, and it's been hard work. As we strenuously pick at the difficult "gumbo" earth, we can hear the age-old work songs of laborers everywhere. Or, that's just the voices in our heads induced by the hot summer sun. Too exaggerated? Maybe. The point is, it's hard work but ultimately for a good cause.
If doing what we can to labor for a week eventually brings someone a warm new home, we've paid a small price. And don't let us lead you to think it's been all work, we've had plenty of fun as well!
When we're not singin'-and-a-diggin', we're playing basketball, making friendship bracelets, and even baking up cupcakes with the kids. Oh, what a time to be alive. In the afternoon, Simply Smiles hosts a day camp for all of the fun-loving kids of La Plant. Much of that time has been spent losing to the incredibly talented girls of the local high school basketball team, and it's been an honor. There's also various arts and crafts (friendship and rubber band bracelets, cupcakes, etc), yoga, gardening, and piggy back rides.
So many piggy back rides!
We really feel like we're at camp with them, and we're probably having as much (if not more) fun as they are.
Now that we're on the eve of our final day with Simply Smiles, we're not sure what to say other than thank you.
Not only have we been humbled by the labor, the stories, and the basketball talent, we've been uplifted by the spirit of the people. The Lakota people, their history, and the enduring nature of their culture will have lasting impacts on us all as we go forward.
We're honored to be Simply Smiles ambassadors as we return to our respective journeys in life.
With lots of love, all the best and many smiles,

Vancouver Island Wedding Photographer // Russell + Hjordis (Disa) at bird's eye cove farm
One of my first weddings of the 2015 was Russell + Disa's at the beautiful and scenic Birdseye Cove Farm on Vancouver Island. This wedding was such a great way to kick off my season! The day was filled to the brim with love and emotion. Every detail was well thought out and the weather was awesome, making for some breathtaking photos.
If Russell and Disa look familiar it may be because you've seen their session in Iceland that I shot in July. Disa is from Iceland and by some stroke of luck Jaimie and I were already planning a trip there and we arranged to shoot Part II of their wedding there shortly after their wedding in Canada. I thought it was incredibly special that they had their portraits done in both of their hometowns, and I was so honored to capture their story.
Russell and Disa are such a down-to-earth couple and everything about their farm wedding was so fitting with this aspect of their personalities. There were so many personal touches to their wedding that just made it extra special, and also demonstrated the tight bond that both of them share with their families. Russell's sister, Amina, did all of the flower arrangements and they were some of my favorite florals of the year. Disa's mom baked a whole table of traditional Icelandic desserts, complemented of course by the classic Scandinavian dish of strawberries. The dancing continued well into the night as well as rounds of celebratory cigars.
One of the best parts of my job is when clients turn into friends, and I can say that I became fast friends with these two. Jaimie and I are travelling back to Denmark later this year and we are hoping to get a chance to visit these two in their new home city!
I was very excited that this wedding was recently featured on Great Canadian Weddings.

I just ordered my rubber stamp, business cards and oversized postcards from Vista Print. I'm being frugal so it'll be 14 days before I see them in person. Hoping all goes well!

The first three months of the regular season made it abundantly clear the Detroit Pistons were finally on the track to longstanding legitimacy in the Eastern Conference. Led by young stalwarts Andre Drummond and Reggie Jackson and finally molding to Stan Van Gundy's ballyhooed two-way coaching ethos, the Pistons' immediate playoff hopes were real and their promise for the future obvious.
Still, there was a near-consensus belief that Detroit, with one of the league's thinnest benches, was a piece or two away from making meaningful noise come the postseason – whether just two months or even two years and two months down the line. Not anymore.
According to ESPN's Chris Broussard, the Pistons have acquired Tobias Harris from the Orlando Magic in exchange for Brandon Jennings and Ersan Ilyasova.
Michael Scotto of Sheridan Hoops initially reported the teams were in advanced discussions of the league's first trade before Thursday's deadline.
Detroit's justification behind this deal needs no explanation. Jennings, who was enjoying a breakout season before rupturing his Achilles last March, was stuck behind Jackson as the Pistons' primary point guard. And despite the belief of many that they could coexist in the same backcourt for lengthy stretches, the fleeting defensive engagement of both players always made that pairing untenable.
Ilyasova, meanwhile, never quite found his niche in Detroit the way he did with the Milwaukee Bucks after being traded to the Motor City last summer. His shooting numbers across the floor are down compared to career norms, and the seven-year veteran has lost the knack and overall aggression that once made him an extremely underrated rebounder and playable defender.
The Pistons had a hole at power forward next to Drummond, basically, and Van Gundy – making his second blockbuster trade as his franchise's decision-making czar – has plugged it by trading for Harris.
The 23-year-old isn't a floor-spacer of Ilyasova's caliber, but a far more valuable offensive player nonetheless. One of Detroit's biggest problems offensively has been a lack of off-the-dribble verve and overall dynamism after the vaunted Jackson-Drummond high ball screen stalls.

Stings and insect bites Wasp stings cause the most allergic reactions in the UK.
One or more stings, over a period of time, may be required from a particular insect to sensitise your immune system and cause an allergic reaction. Twenty per cent of people who have experienced an allergic reaction to an insect sting or bite will have milder or no reaction the next time they are stung or bitten by the same type of insect. Therefore, it's impossible to predict the outcome of the next sting for any individual. If you're sensitised to wasp venom, it's unlikely that you'll suffer the same response to bee venom. What does a bite look like?There will be one or more swollen red bumps on the skin. In the middle, you will often see a small hole, which might have the insect's sting sticking out of it. If you wake up in the middle of the night having noticed a painful or itchy lump, check to see if other parts of the body are affected. If there is only one bump, or four or five of them close together, you have probably been stung or bitten. Fleas often bite four or five times in the same area so you may find a couple of these clusters on your body. Some children's diseases can also cause bumps and red, swollen skin. louis vuitton shoes new zealand If in doubt, consult your doctor. What are the symptoms of insect bites?The skin becomes red, swollen, itchy and can be painful. These are the most common symptoms. Sometimes bites cause an allergic reaction. Bites can become infected by scratching. Look out for a rash or swelling louis vuitton bags 2014 collection that gets worse instead of better. If this happens, see a doctor. See a doctor immediately or dial 999 for an ambulance. How to treat an insect bite or stingRemove the sting. Use tweezers to prise it out or scrape it off louis vuitton neverfull authentic with your fingernail, or a credit card. Do not attempt to press out the sting, as this will only help the poison spread under the skin. Wash the bite with soap and water, then cool off the skin with ice cubes or an ice pack that has been wrapped in a cloth or thin towel. Rest the affected area and elevate it if possible to prevent excessive swelling. Do this immediately after the victim has been stung. If necessary, use a painkilling cream or gel or an antihistamine to soothe the itch. If you or a member of your family are allergic to insect bites, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before going on holiday. They may tell you to take an antihistamine with you in tablet form; or adrenaline as an EpiPen injection. If so, make sure you ask how to use them correctly.

This can be particularly useful if they have previously experienced an allergic reaction following a bite or a significant localised reaction with swelling of over 10cm diameter.

Despite those two sequels, the original The Matrix is still a visual feast with its action-freezing bullet time sequences. And just like with slow motion, everything is cooler when filmed in bullet time, so Japan's NHK has developed a multi-viewpoint robotic camera system that can be easily setup at live events.
Previous systems used a series of fixed cameras so bullet time sequences could only be captured when the action happened where they were all pointed. But the NHK's new system uses eight cameras mounted to remote control pan and tilt heads. So they can all be panned and tilted in unison from a master control panel, with custom software determining exactly how the remote cameras need to be positioned for smooth bullet time results.
We might not understand cricket over here, but you give us bullet time instant replays and North American audiences will be glued to their TVs.

Santa Clara senior pitcher Matt Travis chronicled his travels during the baseball team's recent roadtrip to San Diego, Calif., for their three-game series with Tony Gwynn and the San Diego State Aztecs. Below is a diary of the days in the life of a collegiate baseball player during a weekend series a road trip.
Feb. 13th, Thursday
We were leaving for the airport at 11:00, so I woke up a little bit before 9 to pack my stuff, and get down to the locker room to put my baseball gear together. Our flight was at 1:30, so when we got to the airport we had some time to kill. We were a little hungry, so Joe Diefenderfer, Mark Folgner, Ryan Chiarelli, and myself walked through McDonalds to grab some health food. Once we arrived in San Diego the coaches grabbed the vans, and we headed off for the hotel. When we got to the hotel we tossed our stuff into our rooms changed into our practice gear and drove over to San Diego State's practice facilities to get a quick workout in. We finished up and got back to the hotel around 8, then Joe D, Dave Mandley, and I were picked up by Joe's sister who was taking us back to her place for dinner. After she fed us pasta, salad, and bread, we hung out watching TV. When we drove home, it was really raining hard, and we wondered if we would even get to play the next day. We got back to our room 10 minutes before curfew and retired for the night.
Feb. 14th, Friday
The alarm went off at 9:00 am, but Joe and I, who I roomed with, didn't really move till about 9:30. We headed out for breakfast to the Waffle Spot down the street, and noticed that luckily it had dried up and the sky was clear. When we got there some of our team was already there, but were finishing up and leaving. We finished breakfast just in time to get back for the scouting report meeting in the lobby, but then had tons of time to kill before we left for the park. We headed back to our room to hang out, and relax. My parents were staying at the same hotel as us, so I went up to their room to say hi, and see how they were doing. When we finally got to the park, it was still a little wet, but definitely no problem. I was starting on the mound that day, so I really didn't have much to do before the game. I pitched ok, but gave up three runs, and pitched 6 and 1/3 innings. I wasn't all that disappointed in my outing, but since we ended losing, I was bitter after the game. This was a problem since I was expected to go out to dinner with my parents and some family friends. I didn't want to go but felt obligated, and ended up having a good time catching up with my friends. I got back to the hotel before curfew and hit the sack pretty hard.
Feb. 15th, Saturday
The day after a starter toes the rubber he has his longest run of the week, in order to flush out his arm. I really don't like running distance in my uniform, so I got up at 6 am and headed down to the work out room in the hotel. It was pretty bad, but had a treadmill, so I was set. After running, stretching and doing some sit-ups, I took a shower and went back to bed until 8:45. Joe and I got up, ate, and headed down for the vans at 11:15. The game went much better this time, and we won 9 to 6. Everyone played well, and our hitting was at its best. A.J. LaBarbera hit a sweet homerun, and we scored throughout the whole game. To top off the day Tony Gwynn got tossed out in the top of the 9th. For the stupidest reason too. The umpire said he didn't have a team jacket on, and he did so they argued, and that was that. After the game we all headed over to our teammate Scott Longergan's house in Poway, Calif. It was about a 45 minute drive but it was worth it as everyone was in good spirits, and the food was awesome. We stayed until about 8, then headed back to the hotel for a good nights' rest. The next day would be real important, and we all wanted to win pretty badly. Joe and I hung out watching the Muhammad Ali story, and packing our clothes up until we shut it down around 11:30 and went to bed.
Feb. 16th, Sunday
Sunday morning I didn't get up for breakfast, because I had some granola bars, and I was tired and wanted to sleep in. We checked out of our hotel and headed out to the field the same as before. The game didn't go so well, and we lost 9 to 3. I was in the stands the whole game doing the radar gun to check the velocity of our pitchers, so I saw the game from the fans' point of view. Our coaches were pretty upset, and the rest of our traveling back home was quiet and filled with disappointment. The plane ride home went by fast though, since I was pretty beat from sitting in the stands, and eating tri-tip. I slept most of the way home, and read a bicycling magazine that I bought in the airport. We got back to school around 9 p.m. or so, and our road trip came to an end.

As a Pagan, Goddess-worshipping witch and priestess, I have over the past thirty years celebrated the Winter Solstice in a variety of ways. As my path evolved, I made appropriate changes and adjustments, but never quite found that which truly felt right. In 2007 however, I came across a rite for Helios on one of the Hellenistic reconstructionist groups I belong to which provided the inspiration I needed.
While that rite, celebrated over three or nine nights, was dedicated to Helios, mine would be dedicated to those goddesses I most revere. While celebrating the season of turning inward for renewal and hope, I would honor the darkness of the days as looking inward for wisdom, finding that wisdom and then honoring the return and growth born of that wisdom, the return of light.

'The Walking Dead' Midseason Finale Review: 'Start To Finish' Is a Different Kind of Bloodbath
Recap and review of The Walking Dead – Season 6 Episode 8 – Midseason Finale – Start to Finish:
The Walking Dead appeared to spend a lot of time hyping up a bloodbath for its midseason finale. However, "Start to Finish" is a different kind of bloodbath: the literal kind. In lieu of actually seeing ANYBODY die onscreen tonight, we instead get a sequence in which the group drenches themselves in walker guts and blood, and attempt to escape Alexandria altogether. It's an intense scene that once again illustrates why this is one of TV's most pulse-pounding, nerve-wracking shows. But the finale leaves us dangling in anxiety, and it'll be up to the viewer as to whether or not this is a bad thing.
I don't know that anyone was necessarily expecting a finale that would leave viewers twisting in the wind to such a degree. I know I wasn't, even while I figured there would be cliffhangers galore. But even with that recognition, the episode's biggest moments are all left up in the air. For example, early in the episode, we see Maggie (Lauren Cohan) get stranded atop a scaffold by the surrounding walkers. Towards the end, we finally see Glenn (Steven Yeun) and Enid (Katelyn Nacon) ascend a tree that will allow them to enter Alexandria. Glenn makes eye contact with Maggie and…well, that's it. Similarly, the member of the Wolves that Morgan (Lennie James) has trapped is discovered by Carol (Melissa McBride), leading to a standoff in which Morgan is defending the murderer's life with his own, while Carol nearly guts Morgan with a brass knuckle-mounted knife just to get at the chance to kill the injured Wolf. Eventually, Morgan renders Carol unconscious by slamming her on the ground, and this gives the Wolf the opening to knock out Morgan. The Wolf takes Denise (Merritt Wever) hostage, and Tara (Alanna Masterson), Eugene (Josh McDermitt) and Rosita (Christian Serratos) can do little else but look on as the town's only doctor is dragged away, at gunpoint, by a total psychopath. And…once again…that's it. It actually gets kind of frustrating when virtually every single plot point lingers unresolved. Granted, this isn't exactly new for The Walking Dead, but this is already a season that's come under fire for having very little happen, and so it seems like even more of an argument in the favor of detractors. I mean, we didn't even get Daryl (Norman Reedus) and his group this week (well, outside of the post-credits prologue for the next half of this season). With that said, I still thought the episode managed to pack in some interesting, if incomplete, character moments.
Carl (Chandler Riggs) and Ron (Austin Abrams) have their big blowout, wrestling each other for the gun only to be interrupted by the invading walkers. It's a conflict that could have given the episode some much needed emotional weight, since Ron feels Rick (Andrew Lincoln) is a murderer for killing his dad, while Carl is quick to remind the kid that not only was his father a murderer too, he was also "an assh*le." And then…well, that's mostly it for that story, as Ron is left to stew over how handily he got served by Carl, as the larger threat of the encroaching walkers takes hold. And I get why it had to be that way. But in a finale this overstuffed, you'd think the creative forces behind the scenes would give us at least some semblance of closure on a storyline. Hell, we don't even really get closure on the arc of Deanna (Tovah Feldshuh), which is perhaps the biggest missed opportunity this week.
In short, Deanna spends the episode slowly dying after falling on a table saw while running from the walkers. In this instance, it was a freak accident that kills her, and not even the broader threat of the walkers, or the transient villainy of other humans. It was a simple mistake. And while I suppose there's a certain poetry in that tragedy, and while I also appreciate that her imminent death brought Deanna's relationships with the other survivors into stark relief, her death felt strangely hollow. Feldshuh is an outstanding actor, and she did a terrific job with what she was given, as she served as a motivating influence for Michonne (Danai Gurira) and a conscience for Rick, who is reminded that now the Alexandrians are his people too. But despite having an entire episode to prepare for her departure, it all still feels abrupt, particularly when she opts not to kill herself in the final moments, and instead decides to use her remaining bullets on an advancing horde of walkers. The episode doesn't pretend there's any way Deanna was coming out of this alive, which makes me wonder why they felt the need to cut away from her death. Perhaps it was a touch of too much bleakness and horror for a season characterized by death, anguish and uncertainty? I'm not sure. But Deanna's death felt far less impactful than it should have, and I consider that a shortcoming of the episode.
Of course, there were things I did like about the episode. Jessie (Alexandra Breckenridge) doing her best to keep Sam (Major Dodson) from falling apart amid the pressure of the zombie invasion felt authentic and true-to-life in ways very few things do on shows like these. Sam is a scared kid, and prone to make mistakes that could potentially get people killed, such as in the cliffhanger when, covered in zombie guts and walking through the horde with the group, he begins calling out for his mother. Louder and louder, Sam calls out for Jessie, and with each shout, the walkers seem to recognize a presence. Everyone in the group (Rick, Michonne, Carl, Judith, Jessie, Ron and Sam) are all linked, hand-in-hand. If one of them goes down to a walker, it's possible all of them will get caught up in the chaos. And that's a genuinely anxiety-inducing plot point on which to end the midseason, even though I sincerely doubt we'll lose anyone in that group right away. I just think it felt like something that would happen in a situation like this. Kids get scared, mistakes happen, and people are put in a position to pay for those mistakes. It's an element I've always appreciated in The Walking Dead's storytelling. I've also always enjoyed the action, which this episode had in spades. Whether it was Michonne lopping off walker heads left and right, or Morgan and Carol's epic throwdown, this was an action-packed hour. And what was lacking in plot developments was delivered in frenetic, fast-paced setpieces.
In the pantheon of midseason finales for The Walking Dead, I'd probably rank this somewhere in the middle. "Start to Finish" isn't great TV, but it isn't bad either. If you go in with lowered expectations, I imagine this will play far better than if you're expecting huge deaths and game-changing choices. You could argue Deanna's death was huge, and that Morgan's choice to fight Carol in order to stick to his principle that all life is precious is a huge choice. But I doubt we'll see the fruits of any of these developments until somewhere in the middle of the second half of this season, which returns this February. Until then, I'll be anxiously awaiting the arrival of Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), whose arrival was setup in the post-credits scene. The Walking Dead appears to be heading in an even darker direction, if that's even possible. And I can't wait to see what that kind of grittiness looks like.

Here a few tips to Advertise Your Garage Sale
The type of advertising you do depends on the area that you live.
This works best for those people who live in areas that already get a lot of traffic and typically have a large number of garage sales already nearby.
If you live in a more rural area or not a in a highly populated residential area it is important to put ads out to tell people where you are located and give them enough information about what kind of goodies you will have at your garage sale that will entice them to make the drive to your sale.
I think the only additional marketing you may consider is your local newspaper.
Some areas don't have a well established Craigslist, so people still use the newspaper when trying to find upcoming sales.
Garage Sale Signs
Make sure your signs are clear and point people towards your sale.
It's good to use the same kind of sign, so they know that they are still heading to the right garage sale.
Make the arrows big and clear.
For tips on garage sale signs, see my tutorial on Garage Sale Signs Here…
Putting your Garage Sale Ad on Craigslist
For your ad on Craigslist, put a description that will entice people.
Use words like Huge… Big… or A Lot of Great Items.
Put categories of things, like "Baby Stuff" "Electronics" "Antiques", "DVDs", etc and even list some specifics items in your ad that may draw people to your sale.
You can put times in your ad, but be careful about putting your exact address unless you are okay with 7am early birds knocking on your door.
I suggest just putting either your street or your neighborhood and the street your neighborhood is off of and telling people to follow the signs.
Create a Multi-Family or Community Sale…
Another great way to market is to join together with a couple other houses and your street and do your garage sale the same day. This way you can market Multi-Family Garage Sales, 3 Houses participating.
You can also split the cost of a newspaper ad if you need that in your area and you will get a better turnout.
There are lot of people that go to garage sales, so just do what you need to let them know where you are, then get ready for them to come! You are now ready to move on to the next section…

Show Your Wisdom While Choosing Personal Injury LawyersThursday, January 19th, 2017
There may arrive a period in your life when you have to see personal injury lawyers. If you have been injured because of a mishap at work, in a car or perhaps in a public place therefore there are certain things you will have to think about. You may want to know about medical expenses, a loss of earnings and some other health benefits you might be eligible to. There are numerous compensation lawyers to select from just like those that can be seen by the amount of different TV advertisements from businesses offering their services. Thus how do you know which one to select? Below are a few issues you need to ask before you get involved in a law firm or hiring KRW Personal Injury Attorneys of your choice.
Injury Types Matter
Among the first points you'll want to know is do they focus on the subject of injuries you have endured? Is it their expertise to handle a car accident, a case of negligence or a worker's compensation claim? It's important that they are experts in the field of personal injury where you have endured since you would certainly need a lawyer which is current and updated with the laws governing your form of claim. Maybe you're getting a claim for medical malpractice; obviously you would need an attorney which understands the medical terms. When it's a worker's compensation claim you would then want someone who knows the various laws that may apply in the State or territory where the accident occurred. Getting a lawyer that doesn't specialize in your kind of case could have you ending up wasting a lot of time and even worse your hard earned cash.
Costs are the next most important matter you should talk about. Don't sign any agreement with personal injury lawyers unless you are sure about what things costs and if something may change the sum of compensation you might receive. Ideally you need to work with an attorney who will be claiming their service fee from the other party involved in the incident. There are numerous lawyers that will do the job in this manner, ask for what charges you may be liable for and get a breakdown list of what these are going to be.

La Montaña Azul
Costa Rica
Pragata is the Cofounder of the Shaolin Wahnam Center "La Montaña Azul" in Costa Rica. He created the place together with his wife Anja Swaha Tiefensee and Rama Roberto Lamberti and his wife Adelaida Nieto and in the beginning of the new millennium. He has been resident teacher there from 2002 until 2009.
History, by Pragata:
After 20 years of being drawn again and again to India my love, I had told my friend Rama, whom I knew from India and had practiced Qigong with, before and after meeting with Grandmaster Wong Kiew Kit, that I would love to discover that continent (Latin America) with him.
When in 2001 Rama organized courses for Sifu Wong in Colombia, I naturally joined in the adventure. Together (After the courses) we went to a powerful ancient Mesoamerican Indian sacred place, a nearby mountain called Iguaque that Rama had discovered years ago in his quest of the Amerindian tradition.
Elated by the beauty and the pristine energy of the mountain, a vision dawned in him: a Shaolin Temple on this natural sanctuary of Pachamama, the mother earth of the Incas. Immediately the three of us agreed on the magnificence of such a project and Sifu simply said "Do it!"
After that, Sifu left South America following his teaching program around the world. Rama and I embarked on a pilgrimage in Inca land, through the Peruvian and Bolivan Andes, an adventure we had dreamt of accomplishing while in India on the banks of the sacred river Ganges in the Himalayas.
From Cuzco to Macchupicchu and on to the Titicaca Lake we experienced in these most amazing places the wondrous qualities of the Chi Kung that Sifu Wong had generously transmitted to us. The vision of a Temple of Learning and Practice of the Shaolin Arts remained vividly engrained in our minds and hearts.
Then, once again Rama went his way and so did I, full of this life energy in our hearts and ready to spread it out in other countries. Not long after Rama felt a very strong pull to go to Costa Rica. He knew it was a good and safe country in Central America, a sort Latin American Switzerland that in 1957 abolished the army and devoted the budget to social and cultural welfare. He also knew that one third of that country consists of National Parks and protected areas with an incredible diversity of primal, natural beauty.
Open and vigilant, moving one step at a time, in the course of four months and four trips to Costa Rica, following the signs that life was constantly sending him he found himself guided to discover the slopes of mount Chirripó, the highest mountain in Costa Rica. Immediately he felt at home, in an atmosphere similar to that of Macchupicchu, emanating power, peace and beauty
In the flow of life that had blessed our project since its very conception, a wonderful local family offered to sell part of their property to house the centre: 96 acres of pristine land and river bordering the Chirripó National Park. Dedicated workers appeared and our vision could then start to unfold and materialize. Work immediately began on the infrastructure (roads, ground leveling, electricity, water) and the first lodge was soon on the way.
Sifu was invited to check the location and in a moment of ecstatic happiness he said: "Here is the hidden garden of timelessness"…and walking about, declared: "I am so happy, I am so happy". Soon after in Malaysia A Feng Shui Master confirmed the excellence of the Feng Shui and offered guidelines regarding the building of the temple.
In the meantime I received an email from Rama describing all what was happening. I spoke with Swaha, my beloved companion. She spoke with Camilla, her 14 years old daughter. Together, we decided to go and check it out. I cancelled all my current programs and flew to San Jose. Rama was waiting for me. He took me to the "promised land": A big piece of land at the end of last dirt road of the valley, bordering the Chirripo national park. We were the last human beings on the mountain. All other inhabitants were living below us.
I had already created out of nothing a dream territory in south of France 25 years before. I was familiar with building and being a pioneer. I liked the challenge. Swaha came with Camilla 2 weeks after my arrival. On their first night, as Camilla was sleeping in a small tent, a group of coyotes had come to check us out. She heard them sniffing her presence just outside her tent, and realized she was living an extraordinary adventure. During the following days, we walked up and down this wild and enchanting land imagined all the possibilities and, soon enough, Camilla told her mother: "Do it, and make it a success!"
These words gave us the green light. Camilla came back to Denmark, in a great innovative boarding school, and Swaha and I stayed on, ready to dedicate ourselves fully to this extraordinary adventure, in partnership with Rama. Swaha dropped her career in Scandinavia as a theater and opera stage designer and was given the task to create a much bigger stage that was to become la Montaña Azul, a magnificent mountain retreat center hosting the Shaolin Wahnam Temple of Learning and Practice, and all the facilities to accommodate up to 40 guests. Swaha, Rama and I poured in all our efforts, money and talent , and in February 2004, students and practitioners of Qigong and Tai Chi Chuan came from all over the world for the inauguration of the Temple, honored by the auspicious presence of Grandmaster Wong Kiew Kit.
Life unfolded at La Montaña Azul, every year adding new elements of beauty.
Camilla was coming regularly for extended periods of time, becoming a seasoned Qigong and Tai Chi Chuan practitioner. My own daughters Vanessa and Felicie also came to visit, and so did my brother, but none of our friends, for whom Latin America was not on their route.
In the course of years, Swaha and I started to feel that we were too far from our roots, from our family and friends. We loved Latin America, its people, the inhabitants of our valley with whom we had created wonderful bonds, but a longing to come back to Europe, close to our daughters, brother, dear friends and India became more and more present in us, and by 2009, we were ready to hand over our share to eager Latinos willing to enter into this adventure where we left it. La Montaña Azul is continuing now without us. Rama and his wife Adelaida are now in command of the place, and a team of Latinos from Costa Rica, Venezuela and Colombia have taken over our shares.
As for us, we are starting all over again, this time in Portugal, in the wild south western most tip of Europe, close to our friends and family.
When looking back at what we created, we have a sense of having accomplished a remarquable work of art that can even be considered a masterpiece. We had given ourselves whole heartedly to the task; we leave the paradise we have created without regret. The circle is complete.
Life goes on. New adventures are ahead. All is good. We are blessed.

Australia will win the Cricket world cup and rest is hype
Its not just me a fanboy saying it experts like tony Greg have already called it for Australia go listen to it here.Here are my reasonsFirst one, they were number 1 for the last four and 11 months. All their loss of form in the last few months did is give some excitement to the world cup rather than it being an all Aussie affair.Second one, recently they released the best Australian one day team ever to play for australia. It was not just some random stuff they sent in polls to all the players ever to play the one day game for australia and out of it 80% of the players polled in for these results. And the team wasAustralia's greatest ODI XI Adam Gilchrist (wk), Mark Waugh, Ricky Ponting, Dean Jones, Steve Waugh (capt), Michael Bevan, Andrew Symonds, Shane Warne, Brett Lee, Dennis Lillee, Glenn McGrath, Greg Chappell (12th man). Bold player for current team.Out of which five players are currently in the side, how many other countries are good enough to say that. Out of this five, two players are hurt but the player replacing them are even better or as good as them. For Bevan we are getting Hussey who is the best one day player according to the ICC one day rankings.Third one, its a good thing that they lost these matches now. At least now they know they have a weakness and will work on it. Imagine if they would have lost all those six matches in the world they would have been out of the tournament. They need some thing to get them going and this is as bigger a reason as anything. So watch out for the wounded ego's. They will come back strong.Fourth one, Last night i saw a well known astrologer Bejan Daruwallah predict on tv that Australia will be no.1 and india will come 2 or 3rd.Some more cricket world cup predictionsBest player - PontingBest Bowlers - Nathan BrackenHighest Total - Above 400 ( Small ground and non test playing nations )Other teams who will impress - New Zealand, South Africa these two could also be the loser in the final.Here is a poll from the www.baggygreen.com

I am a crier normally. Movies, commercials, Biggest Loser. Anything where the underdog comes out on top. They all make me cry.
Multiply that by 100 right now. Thank you, Hormones.
There's a teacher at school that for whatever reason Cannon doesn't like her. I don't know if it's that she always talks to him in a baby voice (would annoy the hell out of me) or if it's that she's just not his other teachers or if he gets a weird serial killer vibe from her. Whatever the reason if I drop him off in the morning and she's the only one in his room it's game over. This morning was one of those mornings. He clings to me like a spider monkey. Then his cheeks turn red. The bottom lips comes out and the tears start. He tries SO hard not to cry but can't help it. This morning I cried with him. Nothing like leaving him with the school director while he screams 'mommy!' and I have tears running down my face. For the record, I don't like the teacher either (only for whatever the reason he dislikes her is... it's not like he's anti-social).
Then tonight. Dan's gone. Sleep patterns are messed up. We've been going to bed at 8 instead of 7 and tonight 8 turned into 9:15. Screaming, crying, tears, falling asleep on my shoulder, more tears when I put him down. I cried with him. Then I crawled out of his room on my hands and knees. Dignified.
Night night.
The Best part? I had a Ted Drewes to reward myself (if you're from St. Louis you know what a reward this is, if you're not you should visit just to get some).
