Caroline Rules is ruling the airwaves and tonight Caroline is discussing New Year's Resolutions! Caroline tells a touching story about Albie telling her to wear a seat belt when he was a toddler. She reveals that he had a lisp. I am sure our NJ stud will appreciate that.
Melissa is driving along listening to the radio show and I guess it's supposed to be foreshadowing because Melissa is listening as Caroline has a caller stating that her resolution is to be nice to people even if they don't reciprocate. Caroline says "do not let anybody intimidate you, especially if you want to do something pure and good in your heart." Next Melissa calls Teresa and attempts to set up a play date for the kids. Teresa is a hot mess and they all had the stomach flu. They agree to get together the next day, great idea Melisa, invite the stomach flu brood over for a play date! Teresa says in her private camera moment that she doesn't want to see Melissa. The worm, she is a-turnin'!
Jacqueline asks her father to speak to Assley about her attitude and lack of motivation. We learn that Assley actually has a real talent drawing and she is doing a sketch of Marilyn Monroe as her grandfather walks in. He encourages her to pursue the art as a career, but she is not enthused. She tells him she gets bored with her art and she doesn't go back to what she is working on and that…wait for it…hang on to your wigs and keys everyone…she doesn't like deadlines. Yea, well I don't either, but it's called life you little ass-hat! I swear she needs to be smacked. Her grandfather basically tells her the same thing, he says "life is a deadline, I'm retired and I still have deadlines!"
Caroline, our favorite diplomat, calls Kathy to invite her to the New Year's party. She is disassembling her pine cone display and we are treated to cut away shots of Albert shaving with a straight razor. I am not sure what the significance of this is, but he gets the job done. Kathy accepts the invitation and the theme for the new year is putting your best foot forward. I wonder if Kathy's son will put his best foot forward in his goody two shoe.
Assley goes to Chateau to meet Lauren and show her some sketches for tee-shirts that Lauren asked her to design. Assley shows her some half-assed shitty designs that Lauren hates and are nowhere near what she asked for. Lauren told her she wanted a face, to represent her makeup business name "Face", duh. She said the sketches looked like Assley did them in the car. What I don't get here is why Assley didn't present the sketches she already had of faces. She had the Marilyn Monroe and she had a couple others. Assley reminds me of someone that smokes pot…a lotta pot. No motivation, the attention span of a gnat, and her response to everything is "whatever." Assley is clearly pissed off as Lauren lectures her about her being the client, treating her as such, and that she only gets one shot at a first impression. To which Assley replies "whatever". Assley confides to the cameras that when she is a "professional artist" she is not going to have clients, it's going to be her vision or no vision. Sounds like a solid business strategy Assley. Lauren sends her on her way to work on what she asked Assley for an if she doesn't come up with it, "it's gonna be a shitstorm."
It's 3:45 p.m. at Melissa's and Antonia is asking when the Giudice girls will be there. She keeps saying "when are they gonna be here?" and it's kind of cute because she keeps repeating it and puts an emphasis on the word "here" when she asks for the third time. As if that would change the answer. Melissa doesn't have the heart to say "They will be here when their rude, arrogant mother feels like getting them here, honey. They can't help it that their mother don't give a shit about anyone but herself."
Teresa is trying to get the girls dressed and Milania is having a tantrum and she is throwing all her clothes on the floor. Teresa keeps scolding her and Milania keeps ignoring her. Back at Melissa's, they are getting impatient and annoyed with the lateness, but Antonia and Joey kill time in the indoor bounce house. Man, those kids have everything!
Finally, it's 6:28 p.m. and Teresa is driving over to Melissa's. Antonia is telling Melissa that Milania chokes her when they play and she too, is totally aggravated that they are so late. They finally show up and it looks like Milania has managed to single-handedly piss all of her sisters off on the ride over. Melissa offers Teresa something to drink and she wants wine, so they sit to chat while the girls fight over toys. Milania wastes no time rummaging through Antonia's toys, she pulls out a doll and says "I want this!" She is on a toy tirade! Melissa asks if the kids are hungry because she made some chicken cutlets because her kids were hungry and screaming. Teresa says no because they are going out to dinner, but G to the ia would like a chicken cutlet. Teresa backs off because G to the ia just came from gymnastics and is hungry. So…my powers of deduction tell me that Teresa did not intend to stay long for the play date. It's already 6:30 at this point and the kids haven't even had dinner and they are going out, so she probably planned to cut out after an hour. Heaven forbid she would be on time so the girls could have some real play time. There is no way you could play with all of the toys, including the bounce house in under an hour!
Melissa broaches the subject of Teresa and Kathy and Teresa shuts her down like a bad ferris wheel and of course is all wrapped up in her own side of the story. G to the ia wanted more to eat, but Teresa snaps at her and tells her to leave while she and Mellissa have it out. Teresa is just going on and on about ancient Kathy history. Teresa says that she can't figure out why Richie is so "into her" and that he is not a gentleman, he insults her. Melissa keeps going back and forth with her trying to point out the error of her ways and Teresa just keeps talking in circles. I have to say at this point, Teresa is just annoying me. She had us at the beginning of the season, we were all on your side Tre, but you have got to let this go! She's like a dog with a bone! Next, we learn that Teresa is doing another cook book and Melissa offers some recipes and Teresa says "no". Melissa talks about coming out with her album and Teresa jumps all over that opportunity to further insult Melissa by saying anyone can come out with an album, even Kim Kardashian. Sheesh, Melissa, it's a dog eat dog world out there and your wearing milk bone underwear!
G to the ia asks Melissa to sing, but she doesn't want to because she things Teresa is going to be like Ursula and take her voice. But she will give them a tour of the studio Joe built for her. Sidebar: I had to Google this because I didn't know what the Ursula reference was, but for readers as ignorant as I, it's a reference to a character from "The Little Mermaid" who took Ariel's voice. Melissa can't sing because she must rest her voice and Teresa is ticked, says "what does she think she's Beyoncé?" Teresa, once again, trashes on Melissa's childhood dream and says Joe only built the studio so that Melissa doesn't go to New York and that he will do anything if he can make money. Now Tre, that's just mean.
The Manzo girls are doing their hair for the party and Assley is texting Lauren to ask if she can bring more people to the New Year's party. Caroline puts the kibosh on that right quick. Her deft authority goes well with her "Grease is the Word" hair do.
Meanwhile, back at the Giudice's, Milania is once again wreaking havoc and tells her father "give me pizza, you old troll." Now that's bratty, but funny. Throw a Don King wig on da' Juice-man, and you've got yourself an old troll! Teresa is going on and on to her makeup artist how the girls are so well behaved, as the girls continue to fight and squawk at each other over the pizza. Apparently Milania is in the horrible fours. She puts on Teresa's leopard print high heeled boots and starts prancing around saying she's a "rock star" and she is spraying a water bottle all over. Yes Tre…really well behaved!
Melissa's makeup artist sets his makeup gun to "prostitution whooah" and starts doing Melissa up. It could be my imagination, but George the makeup artist and Joe appear to be flirting. Little Joe is sick and he has passed out head first into a bean bag and appears to have dislocated his lower body. Poor thing, he didn't even know what hit him. Melissa is questioning Kathy about how she is going to handle seeing Teresa. Then Melissa says that Teresa was going to put an old family picture of Melissa in the new cookbook to be mean and show people what she used to look like. They show a picture of Melissa, and she really doesn't look too much different. As Melissa tells this story, she breaks out into her impression of Teresa, which is actually pretty funny. Teresa says Melissa used to wear too much makeup and to Melissa, dem's fightin' words.
Lauren talks about how she wants to get engaged so she is wearing a fake ring on her ring finger. She talks about her sausage fingers and then she and Caroline get in to the age old debate, is it better to look good or feel good? Caroline says "if you're a busted mess, but you're happy and comfortable, what's wrong with that?" Well Caroline, Fernando would disagree with you, "It is better to look good, than to feel good." You look mahh-velous!
The Brownstone is a hoppin', that place is like a license to print money. The ladies go up to the private washroom and Teresa starts rehashing Christmas Eve with Caroline. Caroline is trying to explain her stance and Teresa is looking at her like she has a third eye. Teresa admits that she is irritated that Caroline invited Kathy, but again Teresa, not your party.
The Boys II Manzo's are making fun of Caroline's coif. Albie says she looks like an old English Princess and that she has the whole Wyatt Erp thing going on. Christopher says she looks like a 50's greazer that is going to pull out a razor blade at a malt shop. Maybe that was the significance of the earlier random shots of Albert shaving with the straight razor. Hmm…there may be a greazer knife fight here yet!
The Gorga's arrive and whadda ya' know, Melissa is wearing a hat! They all greet one another and Kathy presents Caroline with a basket of home-made baked goods. Teresa then mocks Kathy's cooking and says that her cookbook influenced Kathy to start cooking. Well, hate to break it to ya' Tre, but Kathy is a baker, which is way different than cooking. Baking is actually a science, and Kathy happens to be the Albert Einstein of Baking. Her desserts are off da' hook.
Maybe the name of the show should be changed to "The Teresa Giudice Show", it's all about her! Melissa is chatting with Jacqueline and they talk about how when it's your blood you need to forgive and forget. I hope Melissa can forgive her makeup artist and I hope she does not forget to remove her eye makeup before she goes to bed. She is going to need a gallon of paint thinner to get that clown shit off.
We have the Daily Double of Douchery with Richie and Juicy joking around at the bar. They are calling each other "dickface" and "mofo", etc. They both look totally wasted and they can't talk right, they're hugging and slobbering all over one another. Teresa says Richie is being nice and pleasant to be around. I guess she enjoys seeing Richie and Juicy act like blathering idiots together.
Ashley is trying to coax a drink at the bar although she is under age. Caroline ain't havin' it and the Manzo Army is on her like flies on a rib roast. Richie's daughter, Victoria is dressed like an extra in a Poison video and she is approached by an older man at the party. Richie totally loses his shit on the guy and Joe jumps in on the interrogation, but he exits quickly and without much of a scene.
Melisa is trying to have the blood conversation with Teresa about Kathy. Teresa says that Kathy left a bad taste in her blood. She is just saying you should forgive Tre, not go all Twilight on her ass! So on top of not making any sense, Teresa is yammering on in this howler monkey mode. Teresa, please, can we use our indoor irrational skank voice? The looks on Caroline's and Jacqueline's faces are hilarious. They can't take it anymore. Caroline is trying to reason with Teresa and it's a lost cause. Geezz, why does Caroline have to do all the heavy lifting?
It's a night of fun-filled frivolity at the Brownstone…there's enough juice there to keep them all fat-n-giggly and the clock strikes midnight. Caroline stands on the steps overlooking the room and she reflects on the good ol' fashioned family grab-ass that lies before her.
Everyone is hugging kissing saying happy new year, and then there is a very disturbing shot of Juicy rubbing his meaty paw all over the front of Teresa's dress. He really is an old troll, an old, barbarian, slobbering troll.
Looks like next week it goes down between Jacqueline and Assley. Apparently, Assley's mouth writes a check that her fist can't cash. Now dem's fightin' words!

Thursdays in the Park - When Coffee Isn't Enough: Reflecting on Relationships & Gospel Witness
"When we dip into the pockets of our resources, at the end of the day the most valuable thing we can pull out is hope. We give the gospel. And the gospel is only truly given when we stop long enough to see the person in front of us." Laurie Nichols
Don't miss the important point there. Jesus never saw the person in front of him as a chore, task or project. He saw a unique individual, with unique hopes and hurts, formed in the image of God. And he treated them as such. So must we.
Two hours of your week + you being the wonderful you God made you to be in exchange for the possibility of a healed spirit and transformed life.
Is it worth the price?
Think about it.

Spring into Spring!
Spring is a time of new beginnings, when we traditionally look to let go of the old and embrace the new. It is the perfect time to de-clutter and revitalise our homes and surroundings. This period in nature's cycle is also a great opportunity to extend these new beginnings to ourselves, re-evaluating our mental patterns and habits or strategies that we have come to use to cope and make sense of our daily lives.
It is very easy, particularly over the winter months, to fall into bad habits that can have a negative impact on our physical and mental health and wellbeing, such as unhealthy eating, poor sleep patterns, and/or a more sedentary life style. Together these aspects of our lives can lead to a detrimental effect on our health that can be difficult to overcome.
Yoga is a wonderful tool to help address these issues, working on mind, body and soul to create lifestyle improvements that can become tangible and visible almost immediately as we begin to make a commitment to regular practice.
Focusing particularly on mental health, in the winter months, the body and mind can often almost go into hibernation mode, preferring to stay inside in the warm, socialise less often, comfort eat and sleep more. We become more lethargic and lack can in motivation. All of these things can lead to negativity, for instance if as a result we may have gained a little weight, thus feeling less comfortable with our bodies. We may feel sun deprived and perhaps have shied away from social interaction with friends and family, due to the winter weather.
Spring is a great time to begin to embrace life more heartily once more, resolving to get out and about more often with the improved weather and giving us more opportunities to engage in outside and social activities. With an increase in the hours of sunlight, there are more light hours in the day to engage in positive activities such as yoga.
Our yoga practice can give us a wonderful opportunity to set new intentions or resolutions to take better care of ourselves with the coming of Spring. Here's a small list of ways we can use yoga to improve how we feel mentally and physically.
The breath – yogic breathing exercises are a great way to help us develop a calm and even state, by slowing the breath and encouraging a sense of calm within body and mind. Physically too controlled breathing or pranayama helps our breathing by bringing improvements to conditions such as hay fever and asthma, by increasing lung capacity and clearing the sinuses. Breathing practices such as analoma viloma (alternate nostril breathing) leave us feeling relaxed and centred as well as helping us with issues such as insomnia.
Balance – Any simple balance that we perform helps us to centre ourselves and improves our focus. The control and concentration required enables us to turn our attention inwards, keeping our attention in the present moment and helps us to engage with the feedback that our body provides to us. Arrow, wobbly man and tree (Vrksasana – see image above) are nice simple, subtle balances that can be practiced anywhere, or whilst we are engaging in another activity (such as queuing or washing up even)!
Flowing Movement – Flowing sequences such as Suyra Namaskar (sun salutations), Sun Power Series 1 and Chandra Namaskar (moon salutation) are great for cardiovascular fitness and getting our endorphins going to bring us into a more positive state of mind. Yoga poses activate the parasympathetic section of our central nervous systems and release the relaxing, happy-making hormone, oxytocin. Again, the focus on the postures and the breath naturally calms the mind and helps us to stay single pointed in our focus on the present moment. These sequences have the added bonus of simultaneously working almost all the muscles in the body, helping us to stay supple and improving our vitality and overall fitness.
Relaxation and Meditation – Taking time out to be still and focus inwards helps us to clear our mental clutter and gives us the opportunity to set intentions for positive changes we wish to make within ourselves. The first step in creating change, is, after all, to affirm and set the intention in motion for what which we wish to achieve! Once we give an idea clarity and focus with our thoughts, it becomes easier to make our wishes reality and create change in ourselves.

I haven't talked about my cat much recently. I knew when the time was right, I'd tell the story. Now feels like the right time to talk about how he went missing 4 months ago. But first, let's start at the beginning.
Prior to my birthday, I began thinking about getting a pet. Dog or cat, dog or cat? I weighed the pros and cons in my mind. A dog would be great because I could take him out with me when I go to grab a beer with friends. I could walk him, and I'd get exercise as a result. On the other hand, there would be all of the potty training, etc. I also couldn't leave him alone for very long since I don't have a backyard to leave him outside while I'm gone. With a cat, I couldn't really take him anywhere or get exercise walking him; however, I could leave him unattended pretty easy.
I decided a cat would be the most practical choice, so I planned to go to the Humane Society to adopt one as a birthday present for myself. On October 10th, I did just that, and Durden became my new roommate. He was very shy at first, but eventually he came around. He seemed to enjoy hanging out on the couch with me in the evenings while I watched TV, so if I was out for the evening, I tried to spend some time on the couch before I went to bed. I work from home, and when he felt too ignored, he'd visit me at my desk and be sure to lay right in the way.
The first time he got out was kind of funny. I was bringing in groceries, and he used the opportunity to dart out the door. He didn't go very far into the outer hallway. He walked maybe 6 feet, looped back around, did it once more, then came back inside. The second time wasn't as humorous. He decided he was ready to explore the apartment complex, so when I left the door open too long this time, it resulted in about an hour of me following him around before I was able to grab him.
Most nights he would decide that right when I was ready to go to bed was the perfect time to meow at the window or the patio door as if he was dying to go outside and check out what was out there. I started keeping a water gun on my nightstand, so when he would start making a lot of noise by the window, I could squirt him. That helped some but didn't remedy the situation completely.
Then I decided to get a harness. I thought how great it would be if I could satisfy his curiosity about being outside and get that out of his system. If it worked, this would also allow me to get some exercise. It was also encouraging to see an Instagram account where another cat owner was doing this with his cat. Wednesday, November 16th was the night I tried the harness on Durden. I remember the date because that's the last time I saw Durden. After following him around the apartment complex for a few hours and unsuccessfully grabbing him, he eventually went into the woods behind the complex where I couldn't follow since the underbrush was too thick. Putting up flyers yielded some calls and texts of alleged sightings, but as I walked around to investigate, I usually found imposter orange cats.
As I walked around the apartment complex, I began to learn just how many stray cats were here. A few of them could be found frequently in the same area, and a couple were even friendly. One of the friendly cats had just one eye, which was sad since the injured eye was still open. This cat was friendly, too. He'd let me pet him, and I'd see him frequently when I walked around the other side of the apartment complex. One day as I'm walking around, I encountered the tenants of the apartment where I usually saw him eating. I asked if he was theirs, and they said he wasn't. They just left out food for him since he was always around, but they didn't know if he belong to anyone. As much as I felt sorry for him, I had no plans to pick him up and walk him all the way back to my apartment to take care of him, especially since I was hoping my own cat would come back.
In addition to posting flyers and walking around, I left food and water out on my lanai, and I left the screen door cracked enough so Durden could get in. I was hoping he'd come back on his own. Even though he didn't, I got to witness other nearby cats appreciate the food. It was pretty consistent, though. The same two or three cats would come on the lanai to eat, and I'd never see any of the cats I encountered on the other side of the complex.
On the evening of Wednesday, January 18th, something changed. For the first time, I saw a grey tabby on the lanai. After a closer look, I noticed it only had one eye. It was my friend from across the way. I opened the glass door, and he came right in, making himself at home. I left the door open for a little bit to see if he would leave, but he was pretty comfortable staying. I closed the door and decided to take him to the vet the next morning, hoping to get his eye fixed. That night, he seemed pretty happy to be inside. He even slept on my bed. I began to wonder if this was the friendliest stray cat ever or if he had been someone's and been abandoned.
The next day, I take him to the vet to get checked out. When they evaluate him, they discover that he's neutered but not microchipped. Except for the eye, he's in good health. Unfortunately, the eye issue had to be addressed by a specialist, but I'm more than willing to handle that, especially if I get to keep him. Shortly after I get a call from the vet with this info and letting me know I can pick him up after work, I get a knock on the door. Some lady has lost her cat, and my neighbor wonders if I might have seen him while I was out looking for mine. She hasn't seen him in about 5 days… and he only has one eye.
I give her the story of how I first encountered him and what led me to taking him to the vet, probably too much info, but I didn't want her to think I just stole her cat. Thankfully, she provides the backstory also. Apparently, he's been in their family for about 12 years. His name is Striper, and he's an indoor/outdoor cat. She says she took him to the vet years ago, and the vet advised that he was stressed about being kept inside. Ever since, she's let him have his freedom. She says he usually comes around when they pull up to the apartment. She also mentions that they took him to the vet about the eye, but the vet told her it's fine as long as it's not bothering him, which is the same thing the vet told me.
I forget if it was one or two nights later, but guess who was back on my lanai waiting for me to let him in? I really expected that after putting him in a carrier, taking him to a strange place to get poked and messed with, and his owner picking him up, that I probably wouldn't see him again. I figured he'd associate my apartment with that experience. But here he was. I opened the door, and he came right in. This has become a routine now for the past two months. He'll come in to eat and chill out, then he'll ask to go outside. He's only spent the night once or twice more, though. Usually after he leaves in the evening, I won't see him till the next day. And I haven't heard from his owner either, so I assume he's going over there to check in regularly. I keep expecting a knock on the door from her.
Although he's been a regular visitor for the past two months, I was curious to see if he would still come around after not seeing me for five days while I was out of town. It didn't take long for that mystery to be solved. Shortly after I got home I opened the sliding door since it was cool out. A few minutes later, my little visitor is in the kitchen asking me to feed him.

Heads up, everyone - we'll be moving this thread to the forum section of the latest game soon.
Heads up, everyone - we'll be moving this thread to the forum section of the latest game soon.
A rather spoiler heavy review of issue 2 of inferno. https://iearths.blogspot.com/2018/07...mb-raider.html
The issue is out Wednesday 11th.
Just finished reading issue #2 of Inferno. Enjoyed it much more than the first one. Nadija is a very interesting character. I like her!
That ending, though, what the hell, Lara?
^ Exactly what I was thinking. Shouldn't she know better? Anyhoo, enjoyable issue.
More news, though not a comic exactly. The details don't seem to be finalized just yet. So I won't make a thread. Perhaps an official announcement will be made at SDCC, but a Tomb Raider colouring book is being release by Dark Horse Comics. Any artists out there can take part in the comp and five winners will have their art featured in the book.
Thanks to Treeble.

Final details to the competition and a cover for the colouring book. https://www.darkhorse.com/Blog/2734/...er-art-contest
If anyone from here enters, good luck!
^Love that cover! Great to see Classic Lara there!
Inferno #3 preview. Looks like Lara's going on a trip down memory lane .
I still don't have issue 1 of Survivors Crusade, I'll have to have a comic binge when I get it (hopefully before Shadow is out)
Finally a preview for issue 4: https://www.darkhorse.com/Comics/29-...ider-Inferno-4
^Finally! Was't this supposed to come out before Shadow's release?
Anyway, maybe it's just me, but I think it feels a little contrived that Jonah found Lara all the way down that tomb in the middle of nowhere; so much so the comic has a whole page of exposition of Jonah explaining how he had been following Lara throughout Survivor's Crusade. Which imo completely undermines what felt like really good character work on the first issue of Survivor's Crusade where Jonah and Lara had their falling out. I mean, I knew they had to patch things up between them since this has to lead into Shadow, but to completely backpedal on Jonah's character development feels cheap imo.
Yeah, the comic was due before game release. Not sure what happened. Unless they needed to change something? Yeah Jonah needs to stick to his guns more. In Rise: J: You're mad, Lara, I can't support you! *angry face*, L: some Trinity dude stole my book!!! *sad face, J: off we go then! Now: J: I'm done following you like a lost puppy! *precedes to follow her to the ends of earth. . I wonder if there will be more comics following Shadow. And how long we'll have to wait.
So I just read the last issue and I thought it was very meh... they hyped Inferno so much and it definitely didn't deliver imo.
I did receive the Path of the Apocolypse book which was the post Shadow book and I didn't see it at first, but it is a retelling of the game. They did talk about some stuff that we didn't see and I haven't gotten far, I think I'm on Chapter 3 so far. I thought we would be getting a book like the other two which aren't related to the games but still has Lara of course. I thought that's what I ordered but I know that's not it.
Complete volume of TR Inferno coming soon:https://mobile.twitter.com/i/web/sta...89049089998853Update 9/1: out today.https://twitter.com/DarkHorseComics/...83500012613632

Why The Headies Awards May Not Hold On March 24th, 2O18
The 12th edition of Nigeria's biggest and most prestigious music awards, Hip Hop Music Awards largely known as The Headies Awards may not hold on the proposed date, 24th of March, 2O18 if the silence of the organizers is anything to go by.
Normally, the nominees list would have been released weeks before the awards, but nothing has been heard or seen from the organizers. The last press release was in January which they categorically made a statement on the year in review and the four new categories added, but ever since then, there has not been any update on the awards.
The big question is, has The Headies Awards been postponed?

A dreamy palette of baby blue and creamy white hit the runway for Kenzo's Fall 2013 Collection. Colour Blocking and a dreamy Cloud print were splashed on shirts and outerwear giving a lighter option for the coming season. I am particularly fond of the colour blocked bomber which against a black background gives the illusion of a really skinny arm. Bottoms reminded the same across the board, slim and belted leaving room for the outwear to be large and block-like. Now to get me some Baby Blue...

Don Williams, head sketch artist for Disney. If you see a Disney Character on a brochure, billboard, or anything that doesn't animate, Don Williams drew it. He has been with Disney since the mid '70's; but it wasn't always that way. Last month I saw Don (I'll call him "Don" and pretend we are close friends) do some live sketches (amazing) and tell his story. Seems that in the 1970's Don was a banker and aspiring artist in the New England area . Loved to draw Disney characters. One month Don hung some of his art in the bank for customers to see. A local news crew did a feature story. One of the bank employees (a janitor) was so taken with the art that he sent the news video to Disney. The Disney company and Don eventually began communicating and told Don "You are good, but we need to see more. Do some sketches and send them to us." For years, Don's dream was to work for Disney. He did about 100 sketches the 1st week and sent them South to Disney. They responded: "Keep them coming." Don continued his pace; for 2 years. 100 sketches a week for 2 years. Do the math. It's pretty impressive. As time went on, Disney was not pursuing Don so he decided to pursue them. He quit his job at the bank and loaded up the family and moved to Orlando with no promise of anything. He figured that being closer to Disney would get him closer to his dream. Continuing to draw 100 sketches like a mad-man, Don went to the Human Resource department day after day for a job, any job, at Disney. As he was about to take a job in a Disney related hotel as a night shift maintenance supervisor, a sketch artist job in one of the parks came available. With his foot finally in the door, Don continued to work and years later found his way to the top of the Disney art department. Sounds like Don wanted the job pretty bad.
So I am reading in Acts last week and a similar thing happened (hang with me here). Acts 1 – Jesus is gone, Judas has killed himself and the disciples are looking for someone to replace Judas. So they get together and one of them says " . . .it is necessary to choose one of the men who have been with us the whole time the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, beginning with John's Baptism to the time when Jesus was taken up from us." (Acts 1:21-22). Evidently there were some (other than the 12) who followed Jesus wherever he went. Guys who so much wanted to be part of WHATEVER Jesus was doing that they didn't wait for an invitation. It didn't matter that they wouldn't get to sit around the table, or be spoken to directly by Jesus. Like Deadheads in a van heading to the next venue, these guys left everything for 3 years, just to go from place to place for one reason; they wanted to be wherever Jesus was, and they wanted it bad.
The spirit of God has put dreams in our hearts and minds. Some of us are convinced that he is birthing dreams. So do we wait? Fall back asleep and hope that the dream continues only in our mind? It time to pack up, get sketching and follow God wherever he is moving. The question is . . .
How bad do you want it?

As I was thinking about what to write this week and tossing ideas around in my mind, I just couldn't justify writing about anything without giving thanks to all those people who have been generous and kind beyond explanation since my surgery. I wanted to share what it means to be blessed, and what being blessed does not mean.
Being blessed does not (necessarily) mean pain-free living
Being blessed does not (necessarily) mean instant recovery
Being blessed does not (necessarily) mean no surgery
Being blessed does not (necessarily) mean living in an 'easy season' of life
Being blessed does not (necessarily) mean everything goes perfectly
Being blessed does not (necessarily) mean you get to do what you want when you want
Being blessed does not (necessarily) mean avoiding hardship
Being blessed means friends bringing dinner every night for 2 weeks
Being blessed means my sister-in-law lending me tons of shirts so I don't have to buy any button-downs
Being blessed means coworkers sending me a gift basket of teas & sweets that just so happened to arrive during my toughest day
Being blessed means my mother-in-law missing church to sit with me and take care of everything
Being blessed means my mom driving over four hours one way, armed with frozen meals, to take care of me
Being blessed means having a great job that lets me take all the time off that I need
Being blessed means having health insurance
Being blessed means countless calls, texts, and messages sending prayers my way
Being blessed means knowing I have a friend to call on when I needed a ride to a doctor's appointment
Being blessed means my husband sleeping on the couch since I can't sleep in our bed for awhile, and getting up several times each night to give me medicine and check on me
Being blessed means that I have not been in need or want for anything since my surgery
Being blessed means this...and so much more. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to all those who have blessed me. I am truly grateful.

Katie Taylor goes the distance in successfully defending world title
Bray boxer pushed all the way by Jessica McCaskill in York Hall but emerged unscathed
Taylor and McCaskill in action. Photo: Tim Goode/PA Wire
Katie Taylor ended the year with a successful first defence of her WBA World Lightweight title at London's historic York Hall in Bethnal Green.
It closes a stunning first year in the paid ranks with a tough and hard fought unanimous points win over American Jessica McCaskill, bringing Taylor's record to eight wins from eight professional outings and also claiming the first headline act in Britain for a woman's professional fight.
"It was a very, very tough fight. It was probably the toughest fight of my career," said Taylor afterwards.
It has been just over 12 months since the Bray 31-year-old turned the disappointment of a failed trip to the Rio Olympics in 2016 into a meteoric rise to the top of the 135 lb weight division, where she is now well placed to unite the belts in 2018.
Her promoter Eddie Hearn and manager Brian Peters have promised at least one fight in Dublin, probably in the Three Arena. It would be Taylor's first meaningful bout in her home country since she first fought in the National Stadium as a teenager.
McCaskill had been calling out Taylor for several months after the frustrated Irish champion had aired the view that it was proving difficult for her to attract quality opponents, while the coach of the American 33-year-old Rick Ramos stung when he said Taylor was not respecting women's boxing
As little as Taylor allows grudge enter her thinking, McCaskill's camp had certainly pressed some of the right buttons.
But from the first round Taylor fell into her groove, instantly assuming a technical superiority with crisp jabbing, as puncher McCaskill (5-1 before the bout) stood solid also jabbing with her left. It was a sounding out round for the title holder, a combination coming early in the round but Taylor was content to fight from a distance.
The champion slipped in the second but was on her feet in an instant as McCaskill tried to draw her in. But Taylor held her discipline, taking a step back and out of range, although the American kept marching forward her punches largely falling short.
Although Taylor was warned by English referee Howard Foster for holding in the third round, McCaskill began to mark up, a swelling on the left side of her forehead testament to the blows penetrating her defence. But the American kept coming forward and into the fourth round was trying to load up with her big right hand and also suck Taylor into some close work.
Hand speed superiority and an unwillingness to get involved kept Taylor in front. Despite her inclination to go toe-to-toe, Taylor remained patient and kept boxing from a distance.
It continued that way into the fifth round with Taylor finding a way through with her right hooks and while McCaskill stayed durable and bravely kept coming forward, the sense was she was that her greatest hope was a mistake from the champion or a misstep.
There was a taste of what the American was looking for when she wobbled Taylor with a left hook at the start of the sixth and brought up the tempo but Taylor went into the seventh clearly ahead.
Warned in the seventh and a point deducted from Taylor for holding again, McCaskill continued to rough up the champion in perhaps Taylor's worst round of the fight.
The closing rounds were tired exchanges with Taylor trying to stay safe with scoring and moving, but clearly out boxing her opponent.
McCaskill looked for a dramatic big finish in the 10th round but it didn't come, Taylor beating her to the punch and continuing what she had begun in the first round.
It was a brave effort from the 33-year-old but the three judges went with the common view that Taylor would finish her 2017 eight wins from eight.
The score cards showed the belt would remain in Dublin, the numbers 97-92, 97-92, 98-91 in favour of Taylor. Still a winner, still a WBA lightweight champion.

Can Enemies Become Friends?
The Anabaptist Network are hosting an important event on peace and reconciliation on the 12th March 2016.
'Can Enemies Become Friends?' will take place at Bloomsbury Central Baptist Church from 10-4.30pm.
David Porter is the Archbishop of Canterbury's Director for Reconciliation. He is an experienced community relations activist, peacebuilding practitioner and community theologian and has thirty years' experience in regional, national and international faith-based organisations. He will present two plenary sessions:
• 'Who do you say that I am?' Exploring the issue of identity and suggesting that conflicts are best understood as identity-based conflicts.
• 'Peace without God?' Breaking down a false dichotomy between vertical and horizontal reconciliation and valuing the repair of human relations even where there is no explicit divine component.
Workshops on various dimensions of reconciliation and peace-making will be led by members of the Anabaptist Network and friends from Christian Peacemaker Teams and Christian International Peace Service. There will also be books and resources available.
Please book your place (£20 or £15 concessions) here

Fleshlite forum
Fleshlite forum i guess my only real concern would be getting it delivered. You will also get an autographed postcard and a free 2 oz bottle of lube. The STU Fleshlite forum bumps rub you on the way in, but the ridges really grab your penis on the way out. First You have to choose which entry You prefer. According to the staff at the Pleasure Chest, there is a definite trend toward going green with sex toys. Be sure to get your Fleshlight today. In fact, shes fleshlite forum open sesame. The Endurance Jack got an extra huge bumps and a extremelly tight canal. Its fleshlite forum better than the real thing in the sense that theres no performance anxiety. Only intimacy with God can fill the deepest needs inside of us. Meant for the men who like the tightest sex penetration, but also preferred by men who have below average girth. You will be completely amazed at how good it looks and feels to plunge between the soft cheeks of the new Mini Maid. Original Fleshlight are classic, the others are just a fleshlite forum clone. From the late 1920s and well into the 1970s, they were difficult to find. I think the men are having way more fun than the women in the audience are, because they get to grab and touch everything with no holds barred. The Super Tight diameter is the same as the Speed Bump, Wonder Wave, and Super Ribbed, with the slight difference that the canal diameter is consistent from beginning to end, while the other three are tapered from larger to smaller.

Striders 4 Steph: Avon Walk For Breast Cancer
UPDATED Germantown resident Susan Burkinshaw is spending most of her free time these days walking and it is all for a good cause.
Burkinshaw is the captain of "Striders 4 Steph," an 18-member team training for the Avon two-day walk for breast cancer set for May 3 – 4 in Washington, D.C.
"I've been doing the Avon Walk since 2003, when one of my friends, who was finishing chemo, did it, so we did it with her – some of us on this team are alumni of that team, and some of us on this team joined in subsequent years when our friend Robyn died and we kept walking," said Burkinshaw.
The other members on her team this year, include: Christina Atkinson, Stacie Berman, Yvette Bradle, Toni DePaul, Tanya Edwards, Stephanie Gebhardt, Colleen Leith, Milissa Long, Julia McCarty, Sandra McDarby, Jean Moccarski, Julie Parsley, Erica Petrolle, Ronda Plante, Shannon Riley, Lily Rogers and Laurie Schatz.
They are all Montgomery County residents, representing the communities of Boyds, Clarksburg, Damascus, Gaithersburg, Germantown, Olney, Rockville and Silver Spring.
"This is my 9th walk," said Burkinsaw. "Some team members have walked three to five previous [walks] and for many it is their first."
So how do they train to walk 39 miles in two days?
"We walk! Generally to Starbucks and back, or including Starbucks in our route," explained Burkinshaw. "Today we did an 11.5 mile walk, but our walks have generally ranged between 5-10 [miles]. We are going to try to do another couple of long walks on back-to-back days to help ease the pain of walking 26.2 miles on Saturday followed by 13.1 miles on Sunday the weekend of the walk."
According to the rules for the walk, each participant is required to raise $1,800 per person but Burkinshaw said her team members are trying to raise more.
"I have raised about $2,000 most years that I've walked," she said. "That puts me at about $18,000 for local breast cancer research in the Washington, D.C. region since I started walking. This year our team hopes to raise $40,000 together."
According to the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer website, Burkinshaw's team is currently in 8th place for all registered teams in the Washington, D.C. walk.
You can follow the fundraising progress of "Striders 4 Steph" online and you can donate here.
Since we began this article, the team moved up from 9th to 8th place compared to all other teams registered for this event.
What else should you know about this dynamic group of women?
"We are walking this year with our friend Stephanie, who just finished chemo last month – she wanted us to all walk together, including her mother, her sister and our friends," said Burkinshaw. "So we are walking!"
Of course they are. That's what friends are for.

Varner People flee from what was described as twin explosions at the finish line of the Boston Marathon(Photo by WBZTV) Update: Tues., 9:00 a.m] President Obama's frequent addresses to the nation are helping ease fears in the aftermath of Monday's twin explosions in Boston. For the second time in less than 24 hours, the president took to the airwaves, this time to announce that authorities are investigating the blasts as "acts of terrorism." Whether the work of domestic or foreign terrorists remains unknown Update: President Obama spoke to the nation later Monday, cautioning Americans to wait for answers: "We still do not know who did this or why. And people shouldn't jump to conclusions before we have all the facts." Obama, perhaps tuning into a nation's gnawing anxiety, added: "But make no mistake – we will get to the bottom of this. And we will find out who did this; we'll find out why they did this. Any responsible individuals, any responsible groups will feel the full weight of justice." Earlier: The explosions disrupting the 2013 Boston Marathon were horrific, and the horror continues as news reports come in of horrible injuries, including multiple amputations. The blasts went off about four hours after the men's race started; thousands of runners were still finishing the race. The epicenter of the blasts was the finish line. Someone, or something, had a cruel sense of timing. The blasts sent fireballs and plumes of smoke engulfing runners using up their last bit of endorphins to finish the race. Answers are desperately being sought as we urge each other to refrain from speculation, even about whether the blast came from a bomb or something else. Boston Police and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosions are just beginning their work. Was the explosion was an act of terrorism, either from sources outside of the U.S. or within? Or was the cause was something more mundane: a gas pipe explosion. A part of the race had been dedicated to the shooting victims of Newtown, Conn. Someone should now dedicate a future endeavor to the Boston Marathon victims. What a horrible ending to what had been expected to be a great day for the 27,000 or so Boston marathoners representing 96 countries. This race is one of the premier events in the running world. Athletes have to qualify for entrance. Now we pray they live to run, walk, or smile another day. In tragic events such as this one, social media shrinks the world, quickly becoming a virtual bulletin board to search for loved ones or assure those searching for you. #PrayforBoston quickly began trending Twitter. The tech savvy plugged into geolocators to track loved ones. Marathon officials tracked runners by their bib number or other identification here. The New York Times offered a frightening sense of scope: The blasts occurred while thousands of runners were still finishing the race. The Atlantic magazine published a compelling timeline across social media. Injured man at the finish line of the 2013 Boston Marathon(Photo by Charles Krupa / AP) The public's initial shock soon gave way to grim action. Boston news reports showed runners who kept running all the way to hospital emergency rooms to give blood. People took to Twitter to help police spread the word about avoiding the streets around the explosion so rescue crews and police would not have to contend with traffic. President Obama was briefed on the Boston explosions by Homeland Security adviser Lisa Monaco in the Oval Office. The president called Boston Mayor Tom Menino and Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick to express his concern for those who were injured and to offer support. Meanwhile #PrayforBoston Comments | Topics: boston marathon

ANALOG INCLINATION MEASURING SENSORS "LEVELMATIC 31" and "LEVELMATIC C"
LEVELMATIC 31 and LEVELMATIC C analog sensors are analog sensors with an analog voltage / current output signal. This sensors have specifically been developed to be mounted on machines. Since the sensors are mounted in a tight, weatherproof, and shock-resistant housing, inclination measurements are possible even under difficult conditions. The sensors are easy to use, and requires little in technical know-how.
1. Family of LEVELMATIC sensors
The LEVELMATIC sensors have established themselves in the market as the benchmark when it comes to high precision measurement in demanding applications with analog output. The LEVELMATIC-family of sensors features the following characteristics:
- High resolution and high precision
- Excellent temperature stability
- Measuring range of ±2 mRad to ±20 mRad, respectively ±15° and ±30°
- High immunity to shock
- High immunity to electromagnetic fields
- Simple handling
2. LEVELMATIC 31 and LEVELMATIC C
Common characteristics of the two sensors:
- The measuring element is based on a pendulum swinging between two electrodes. Depending on the inclined position of the system, the pendulum will change its position in relation to the electrodes and in so doing, the capacitance between the pendulum and the electrodes will change.
- The sensor cell is completely encapsulated and thus protected against changes in humidity
- The output of the measuring value is a voltage which can be measured with commercially available electrical measuring instruments.
Difference in characteristics of the two sensors:
- The pendulum of the LEVELMATIC 31 is larger, which provides a significantly better signal-to-noise ratio for smaller inclinations. The LEVELMATIC 31 is therefore better suited for high precision applications where only small inclinations are measured.
- The mass of the pendulum of the LEVELMATIC C is smaller than the one of the LEVELMATIC 31. This provides a higher stability if the sensor is permanently inclined
- LEVELMATIC C has a wider measuring range
- The LEVELMATIC C has an additional current loop output with 4..20mA The following list of characteristics should allow a proper differentiation and proper application of the 2 sensors:
The following list of characteristics should allow a proper differentiation and proper application of the 2 sensors:
- High resolution, high precision for inclinations up to ±20 mRad (roughly 1.15°)
- Excellent signal-to-noise ratio
- Excellent repeatability
- Excellent linearity
- Good temperature stability
- Maximum inclination corresponds to an output of ±2000mV
- Excellent precision for inclinations up to ±30°
- Supply voltage can be chosen between ±12 V and ±18 V DC
- Excellent repeatability
- Excellent long-term stability in inclined position
- Excellent linearity
- Excellent temperature stability
- Maximum inclination corresponds to an output voltage of ±1V, ±2.5V, or ±5V and an output current of 4..20 mA
Calibration Certificate:
LEVELMATIC-sensors can be delivered with an internationally recognised Calibration Certificate against a surcharge
Also the following expressions are common for an inclination sensor:
- Tilt sensor
- Analog inclinometer
- Analog inclination sensor
- Analog inclinometer
- Analog inclinometer sensor
Measuring task / Goal:
Measure deviation from anticipated angle on different angular positions. As the centre of the axis of rotation is often not accessible, an additional challenge is added to the task. In many cases the measured values are entered in the CNC controller for corrective action. In order to include errors due to mass of the machine components, the measurement should therefore be collected near by the cutting position. Uncertainty of measurement should not be greater than 1 to max. 2 Arcsec.

Don't mix! With our snow week, we decided to start Griff on baby food a day early 2.18.15. I thought he liked them. Then, after a few bites, it all came back up. The same thing keeps happening. We never had this with the girls.

It was great to recently speak with one of the world's leading most experts in the field of brain research and cognitive science, Dr Art Markman.
I reached out to Art originally as a part of a research project I was conducting, and before long I knew I just had to get this guy on my podcast. Man...the information blew me away.
As you listen and draw knowledge from Art's 2+ decades of knowledge, take note: I did NOT send Art any of the material in advance....yet he simply reels off the answers with zero hesitation (the true sign of expert in my opinion).
I got to ask some really great questions and I really enjoyed spending 45 minutes with Art.
You can view his bio at the bottom of this post, and check out the show notes (including how to get in touch/buy his book) below also.
- How long has brain psychology and studying of the brain been around?
- What is the validity of long term studies and are they accurate?
- I ask Art if there are any myths that have been busted recently that were once really popular?
- Why Art really loves the mind.
- What the whole 'trusting your gut' thing is all about (and whether it is real).
- The goal setting process from Art (someone who literally studies the brain day in, day out).
- How long to create habits?
- Why did Art learn to play the saxiphone in his 30's?
- And was there 'knowledge transfer' from his younger days of playing the piano.
- What is 'visualisation' all about and is it scientifically proven to work?
- What's happening when we 'see' food/desirable object? Why does it make us want it?
- What Habit art is working on right now?
- Bringing in new habits and not being overwhelmed.
- What is the real deal with Multi-tasking?
- Why rats are constantly used in scientific studies?
- Can we ever 'manufacture' a brain?
- Where is the brain cognition and science world heading?
You can get in touch with Art here:
You can read his bio here:
"Art Markman is the Annabel Irion Worsham Centennial Professor of Psychology and Marketing at the University of Texas at Austin. He is also the Founding Director of the Program in the Human Dimensions of Organizations. The HDO program brings the humanities and the social behavioral sciences to people in business.
He got his ScB from Brown University and his PhD from the University of Illinois. Before coming to the University of Texas, Art taught at Northwestern University and Columbia University.
Art's research explores thinking. He has studied the way people form and use analogies, the mechanisms of decision making, the modes that allow people to form categories, and the influences of motivation on reasoning. Art is also the executive editor of the journal Cognitive Science and is a former executive officer of the Cognitive Science Society.
Art has always been interested in bringing insights from Cognitive Science to a broader audience. To that end, he writes blogs for many sites including Psychology Today and Fast Company. He consults for companies interested in using Cognitive Science in their businesses. Art is also on the scientific advisory boards for the Dr. Phil Show and the Dr. Oz Show.
Along with Bob Duke, Art hosts the radio show Two Guys on Your Head for KUT Radio in Austin. Two Guys on Your Head is available as a podcast on iTunes and Soundcloud. You can also follow the show on Twitter.
When he's not doing things related to Cognitive Science, Art can be found spending time with his family or playing sax in a blues band."

ST. LOUIS – Two people died Monday after falling down an elevator shaft while doing renovations on a building on Washington Avenue.
St. Louis police, firefighters, and EMS responded to the old International Shoe Building, located in the 1500 block of Washington Avene just before 11 a.m.
According to St. Louis Public Safety Director Jimmie Edwards, the workers were in a lift box cutting cables when, for reasons unknown, the cable holding the lift box snapped.
The workers were not identified.
OSHA responded and is now heading the investigation. The subcontractor had obtained a permit from the city to perform internal demolition work on the building, Edwards said.
Work at the site has been postponed until further notice.
The 160,000 square-foot International Shoe Building was constructed in 1909 and designed by Union Station architect Theodore Link.
The renovations were being done to convert the building into a 142-room hotel.

Recovering From Brazos Bend 100 Pacing
Having just completed pacing at Brazos Bend 100 where everything was flat and I had to adjust to using the same muscles repeatedly, I'm starting to think about recovery and how I can best prepare for my next set of races. The Bandera 100k (pacing a superb athlete), and Rocky Raccoon 100 (shooting for sub 19 hours) are are going to be extreme iwith varying terrain and lots of speed, and they get me thinking about how I want to avoid past mistakes I've made in my recovery.
I was 10 days post Ironman Louisville and I may have made one mistake on my way to being properly recovered. What was that mistake? Deciding to ride 40 miles on the Saturday after the race was not a big deal. Was the problem that I rode my CX bike, which has knobby tires, so pushing the pedals takes a bit more energy? Nope, it was going out to run trails the next day. I thought I was running 5-6 miles, but wound up at 8 and on a humid day. That was not smart. When you combine those two items you end up with a body that isn't fully recovered.
Fortunately for me, I was smart enough to have recognized that problem and did nothing other than sleep in, swim, and jumped on the trainer to allow my legs to spin as I recovered. To that end, I was asked about preparing and recovering from an Ironman race or even a 100-mile ultra trail run. These are my tips.
The focus on nutrition is a key for me regardless of race prep or not, but during the week before and two weeks after a race, my focus on nutrition is on high alert. I focus on lean proteins such as eggs, tofu and tempeh. I try to get those into every meal so that I am healing my body from the inside out, repairing muscle tissue that has been crushed during the race.I also add in lots of healthy fats in the form of nuts, beans, avocado, and of course the previously mentioned eggs. When I do this, I notice that my body repairs quickly.
When it comes to spicing up my food, I add turmeric and cinnamon as much as possible.
Inactivity / Rest:
Of course, I started by saying I made a mistake by getting too much in too soon, but the key to recovery and taper is inactivity. It is hard for athletes to sit around and just enjoy life, but I find that when I do that, I am healing my body heading into the race, as well as healing it coming out of the race. This rest also gives me an opportunity to do things that are not swimming, biking, and running. I get closer to family and friends, but it also allows me to not get burned out.
This should go without saying. Sleep is a key to relaxing the body and mind. It is during sleep that our body resets itself, and leading into the race, it may be difficult to get enough. However, when you come out of the race, sleeping in for an extra hour or two, plus naps, is essential. Without a structured training plan, sleeping in until 8a or 9a is golden. You can still get a 1 hour workout in and still be done by 12pm so that you have the whole day ahead off.
When it comes to sleep after the race, I pay a lot of attention to my sleep environment. Not only does having a comfortable mattress help with my recovery, but I make sure to turn mine because I like to have a 'fresh' mattress to sleep on. I also make the room very cold and dark. Lastly, I do not want to be distracted, so I turn the phone to Do Not Disturb and let the world go.

3 Tips To Improve Your Health[caption id="attachment_7504" align="alignright" width="240"] Source: Health[/caption] 1. Sleep Sleeping is imperative regardless of what those people who tell you they can function on 4 hours of sleep. I say that is complete non-sense as I manage to get through on 6 hours some days but I know that will catch up to me. This usually happens during a peak week when I am asleep on the couch at 8pm and waking up at 5am for a solid 9 hours of sleep and getting up to go at it again. Lately I have been running on those 6 hours per week but two weeks ago after yoga was complete I came home and stared at my laptop and could barely read the words. I was wiped out and needed to sleep. I put my head down for a 30 minute nap because anything longer than that is sleep and would affect me that evening. I wound up waking up 3 hours later. Obviously my body required more rest because when I woke up I felt great and my body felt like it was healthy again. I have written about getting 8 hours of sleep previously, that you can read here but here are the highlights;
- Sleep deprivation was linked to metabolizing glucose less efficiently in addition to the fact that levels of cortisol were higher.
- The glucose levels for the group were no longer normal during the sleep deprivation week and resembled those found in the elderly. Since we know that glucose and glycogen (stored glucose) are the energy sources behind the ability of an endurance athlete to perform one can conclude that getting enough sleep is very important.
- What the study doesn't address is how much sleep is enough? I don't know that getting 8 hours is perfect but I do know that getting 4 hours is not enough and not just because of the glycogen stores, but because your mind is not in the game. You have a tendency to lose focus with sleep deprivation and this is caused by the increase in cortisol. If your mind is not focused then the task at hand is going to be more and more difficult to perform. Think about your best race and how well you slept the night before and think about your worst race and how you slept the night be.
2. Massage And A.R.T.Yesterday I rode a portion of the Ironman Texas course and then drove home and straight to a massage. That means that yesterday was 4 hours in the saddle, 3+ hours in the car and 1.5 hours on the table. How did this make me feel? I felt healthy on the bike, then a slug in the car and rejuvenated with a renewed focus after the massage. The massage was much-needed and being two weeks before the race it was perfectly timed. Regular massage can do a couple of things can help to improve the status of your health:
- Massage increases the blood flow to muscles to help speed the healing process by flushing out metabolic waste. By having the muscle healed faster an athlete can resume training at a quicker pace and build up their strength to compete at a higher level than before.
- In addition to healing quicker, a massage will allow an athlete the opportunity to reconnect with their body. The mind will be able to decipher which muscles are sore/fatigues and need to be treated more often. It can bring awareness to those areas that are not functioning properly and in the long run help prevent injury.
- Yoga is a form based movement. If you have poor form in yoga you will fall over. By focusing on your core you will improve your balance and a stronger core will lead to improved health.
- Yoga focuses on breathing. To get deeper into your stretches you need to breath and losing that focus will cause the body to not react the way we would like. Have you ever been so mad that you don't even realize that you aren't breathing which causes stress on the body. By focusing on your breathe your anger will come down and you will be able to make better decisions.
- Yoga has poses the force you to back bend and get the spine engaged. The spine is a key component of your core and having a stronger spine will also improve your balance.

And his darling wife is one of the best teachers at our gym. They were troopers traipsing through the dirt and trees for me. We had a lot of fun. This mama likes the more formal posed pictures, which, honestly, for me is a little bit harder. Hopefully we got what she wanted. They are a beautiful family so we were at a good starting point. :) The highlight of the entire afternoon for me was when I was doing pictures of just the girls. I had Dad standing behind me so that the girls would look at me and hopefully I could get some natural smiles. They begged him to to the "screeching pig" (I think that's the name... if it's not, it should be changed to that). And, boy, did he deliver! I about jumped out of my skin!!! It was hysterical. One he should definitely start doing in the dental office just to see people's reactions.

Discover the vibrant arts and culture of Tampa Bay.
Arts and culture are a major part of the lifestyle around Tampa. And since the Villages of Citrus Hills is located just over an hour to the north, residents here have the luxury of helping themselves to those cultural amenities any time they want.
Whether you are looking for museums, fine art galleries, an enthralling ballet performance, or a symphony experience, you can find all types of cultural attractions just a short drive south in Tampa.
Here are some of the most popular venues in Tampa that you will want to explore.
Tampa Museum of Art
The Tampa Museum of Art officially opened in 2010 and has become the top venue to see modern and contemporary art. There is a strong focus on visual arts, contemporary photography, and new media.
Every Friday night from 4 pm to 8 pm, the museum runs its "Art on the House" special where the traditional admission fees are waived in favor of a "pay as you will" model. This is a great way to kick off your cultural trip to Tampa.
Tampa Theatre
Designed and built by John Eberson in 1926, the Tampa Theatre is simply stunning. Shows here are typically film screenings of classic movies, but on occasion there are also live performances.
Regardless of what type of show you plan to see, the Tampa Theatre itself is worth the price of admission. Taking in a classic film here following a delicious dinner makes a wonderful night.
Henry B. Plant Museum
Henry Plant was a railroad tycoon operating in the Tampa area during the late 1800s. He famously constructed the Tampa Bay Hotel, which was the most over-the-top hotel of its time.
Today, that hotel has been restored and houses the Henry B. Plant Museum. This is a truly unique museum experience because each exhibit showcases what staying at the hotel would have been like during its prominence.
If you are in the mood for traveling back in time, this is the place to be.
David A. Straz, Jr. Center for the Performing Arts
With five theaters and a rehearsal hall, the Straz Center for the Performing Arts is THE place to catch a live performance in Tampa. You can find everything here, including ballet, opera, symphony performances, and Broadway musicals.
You'll have to check the upcoming schedule, but if you are looking to catch a live performance in Tampa, there is a good chance it will be at the Straz Center.
The Dali Museum
The Dali Museum celebrates the life and work of Spanish artist Salvador Dali. It is an interesting concept for a museum to focus specifically on one artist. The result of that concept is that you can learn much about Salvador Dali with a visit here.
The museum itself opened in 2011. It contains nearly 100 of Dali's oil paintings dating back to 1904. In addition to the paintings, there are many other examples of his work in other mediums.
The Mahaffey Theater
The Mahaffey Theater combines the stunning elegance of the Tampa Theater with the impressive live performance calendar of the Straz Center. Throughout the year, you can see everything from Broadway musicals to the famous Florida Orchestra at The Mahaffey.
Florida Museum of Photographic Arts
The Florida Museum of Photographic Arts is Tampa's photography museum. In addition to an impressive permanent collection and constantly rotating exhibits from world-renowned photographers, the museum also hosts photography classes and has its own "Photography League."
Whether you are looking to catch a live performance, view a stunning photography collection, or explore what staying at the Tampa Hotel would have been like in 1880, there is no limit to where your mind can wander along the Tampa cultural scene.

Recreation: Mike Woody named tennis Facility Manager of the Year
Bianka Lamade wasnt the only champion crowned at the conclusion of last Sundays USTA/Dow Corning Womens Challenger.
While Lamade was recognized for her achievements on the court, tournament director Mike Woody received accolades for his achievements off the court.
Woody, the managing director of the Midland Community Tennis Center, was named recently as the Midwest United States Professional Tennis Association Facility Manager of the Year.
He was presented with a plaque commemorating the achievement following the singles final of the Dow Corning Challenger.
"It is pretty special because, as with any kind of award, you can recommend yourself or someone else can recommend you," Woody said Thursday. "I didnt recommend myself, so Im pretty excited because somebody on my staff nominated me.
"Its exciting when someone on your staff thinks youre doing a good job."
The staff of which Woody speaks consists of nine USPTA-certified tennis professionals, seven part-time tennis instructors, and 16 full- or part-time business and office employees.
Aside from overseeing that staff, Woody serves as the president of the USTA North Eastern Michigan Tennis Association.
The criteria for Facility Manager of the Year include initiative, imagination, competitiveness, direction, and leadership.
Among the MCTCs achievements under Woodys direction are bringing tennis to 14 different cities parks and recreation departments within the North Eastern Michigan Region, providing free tennis lessons to members of the Midland community on local middle school and high school courts, and helping the MCTC to become recognized as one of the top promoters of grass-roots tennis promotion and development.
According to Woody, just going to work every day is an award in and of itself.
"The plaque is nice, but the team of people I work with is the most exciting thing for me," he said. "Every time I come into the tennis center, thats my award."

DR. WHITAKER Forward Plus
Forward Plus has been designed to include every nutrient that your body needs for optimal health. The Forward Plus program is based on three important formulas:
The Forward Plus regime provides a superior combination of nutrients for supporting the health of your heart, bones, immune system, brain and much more. Forward Plus provides unprecedented cardiovascular support with natural vitamin E and fish oil for normal cholesterol, blood pressure and triglyceride levels. Studies have consistently shown that antioxidant vitamins, especially vitamin E, can help to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. The evidence for fish oils is even stronger, with studies showing that omega-3 fatty acids help to reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease and cardiac events like heart attack and stroke, and also help to balance cholesterol, triglyceride and blood pressure levels. In fact, it has been suggested that a deficiency in omega-3 fatty acids is the sixth highest cause of preventable death in the United States each year!
Forward Plus also contains optimal amounts of folic acid, vitamin B12 to help maintain normal homocysteine levels and arterial function. Research has shown that elevated homocysteine levels are a serious risk factor for cardiovascular disease and stroke. Folic acid, and B vitamins like B6 and B12 are essential for the elimination of excess levels of this toxic amino acid, and studies have shown that supplementation with these vitamins is effective for reducing homocysteine, thereby improving cardiovascular health.
As you pass 50, you also need enhanced bone nourishment. Forward Plus includes an outstanding mineral complex that gives you more absorbable forms of the most important bone-supporting nutrients, such as calcium and magnesium, as well as highly bioavailable forms forms of zinc, copper and manganese for optimal absorption. Reduced intake of minerals like calcium, magnesium and phosphorus is common as we age, and has been associated with a much greater incidence of osteoporosis. Supplementation with these essential minerals is thus very important for maintaining strong, healthy bones throughout life.
Finally, many patients are also worried about retaining their mental sharpness as they age, for this reason, Forward Plus contains several nutrients such as Alpha-Lipoic Acid, vitamin D3, vitamin E, fish oil, lutein and bioflavonoids with research supporting their role for the promotion of mental clarity and cognitive function.
2 packets per day, one with the morning meal and one with the evening meal or as directed by a health care practitioner.

Vincent Adultman is a recurring character throughout Season 1 and Season 2 of BoJack Horseman.
Vincent is an alleged adult male whose face resembles a young boy named Kevin. He has blonde hair, blue eyes, freckles, and braces.
He wears a long brown, double-breasted, button-down trench coat, a black undershirt, a brown fedora with a red band, blue jeans, white socks and blue sneakers with Velcro straps. His right hand is a broom and left hand is a mannequin hand.
Princess Carolyn first meets Vincent at a bar in Horse Majeure where she flirts with him in order to make BoJack jealous.
According to BoJack, Vincent is "very obviously three kids stacked on top of each other under a trench coat."
He and Princess Carolyn date for several episodes throughout the series before breaking up in After the Party.
Season 2
In After the Party Princess Carolyn notices a boy crossing the street with his mother that looks just like Vincent. Later, the boy, named Kevin, stops by her apartment and claims to be Vincent's son.
While he steps into the bathroom, Vincent shows up at her apartment as well. As one would expect, the two characters were never seen at the same place at the same time. By the end, however, Princess Carolyn breaks up with "Vincent."
He does appear again in Higher Love, but he has not been seen since.
BoJack believes that, due to Vincent's behavior and appearance, he is three children stacked on top of each other, the voiced character being Kevin.
- Princess Carolyn (Ex-Girlfriend)
- Kevin ("Son"/Himself)
- Unnamed Woman ("Ex-Wife"/Mother)
- Possibly two more children
Memorable Quotes
- "I like business... transactions."
- "Would you like a alcohol?"

- "Business-wise, this all seems like appropriate business."
- "I went to stock market today. I did a business."
- "Princess Carolyn, stop embarrassing me!"
- Even though BoJack says that Vincent is clearly three children, we have not met any of his possible children that would make up Vincent except for Kevin.
- The episode After the Party seems to suggest Vincent is three children stacked on each other, but it's not explicitly shown.
- Vincent is a reference to recurring tropes in media referring to children stacked on each other and dressed under a trench coat and fedora.
- He is voiced by Allison Brie, who voices Diane.
