There's discussion about how the absence of Philippe Coutinho might affect the match, a look at City boss Pep Guardiola's Premier League mindset, plus one former England, Liverpool and Real Madrid forward gives his take on the tactics.
First to City boss Guardiola, who was quizzed on facing Liverpool without new Barcelona midfielder Coutinho.
Ben Burrows writes in the Independent: "Pep Guardiola doesn't think beating Liverpool will get any easier now that Philippe Coutinho has left for Barcelona.
"The Spaniard's runaway league leaders face Jurgen Klopp's Reds on Sunday with the hosts set to take the field for the first time since the Brazilian completed his £142m dream move to the Nou Camp earlier in the week.
Liverpool v City: Kick-off time and team news
Liverpool v Man City: Where to watch
"Much has been made of how Klopp will look to replace Coutinho but while Guardiola believes Barcelona have themselves a fine player he doesn't think the side he has left behind will be much the poorer for his absence.
"'I think the quality of Coutinho is not in doubt. I think Barcelona have signed a top, top player. I think he suits perfectly the way Barcelona want to play, and have played for the past 20 years,' he said.
'But saying that, Liverpool have resources, and of course they are going to go into the market, and Jurgen knows exactly what he has to do, and what he needs for his team.
'Liverpool remain a top, top, top team. I think this season, they have played a lot of games without Coutinho, for many reasons, injuries or other reasons, and they were always a good stable team. That is not going to change my opinion about Liverpool for Sunday.'"
The 'foot on the gas' theme continues in an article on Sky Sports, where Guardiola repeats there is never any room for complacency in his teams.
Richard Cooke's report reads: "Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is refusing to describe his team as champions in waiting.
"City appear to be cruising towards their third Premier League title having won 20 of their opening 22 games - and drawn the other two - to open up a 15-point lead at the top of the table.
"But speaking ahead of Sunday's eagerly-anticipated match against Liverpool, live on Sky Sports, Guardiola insisted he is not taking anything for granted.
"'In football and in sport, anything can happen,' he said. 'Of course we can lose the title because you never know what is going to happen in the next 13 or 14 games you have to play. Of course, if we maintain our level, the consistency and the way we play, then OK, we have a chance. But you never know.
"'If we start to go down, and lose confidence, and don't play well regularly, then we will see. Maybe that is going to happen, and I am going to shake the hand of my opponents and congratulate them for being champions."'
Finally ex-England striker Michael Owen has cast his eye over the match in his Daily Mail column and regardless of the outcome is expecting a great game of football.
Talking about City's attacking brand of football, Owen says: "If you get it right, then it can look like City this season. And that's worth aspiring to.
"It's the basic essence of football — to excite people and make fans want to go to the game.
"The two coaches approach the games in slightly different ways. Guardiola's style is possession based, playing from the back. Liverpool like to win the ball in attacking areas, so you have a shorter distance to make rapid bursts to the goal and do so by hunting in packs.
"It has worked perfectly for Mohamed Salah at Liverpool... but both teams play on the front foot. There's no turning back with football like that. And you can't help but respond to the energy and attacking philosophy.
"It's much more difficult to create an attacking outfit than a defensive one. And it obviously incurs more risk."
We'll be back tomorrow with all the media reaction to the match!

We woke up this morning to a Winter Wonderland out our window (to us anyway). We already have about 4-5", and there's supposed to be another front moving through this evening, so maybe more! Bambi was admiring it from her perch....I wonder what she was thinking? :)
Joy didn't have a clue. Jason woke her up this morning and told her to come on in the kitchen and get breakfast "so we could get started on our schoolwork". She dragged out of bed and was very tickled to see the snowy white blanket over our backyard and the trees! Her normally mean ole homeschool teacher even let her off for the day, so we could go play. Although now that I think about it, there's still plenty of time....maybe some Math is in order yet....
And play we did. Actually, Jason and Joy played more than I did. I was official photographer.
There were snowball fights.
More snowball fights.
Daddy and daughter....
And it was a really good wet sticky snow....good for rolling into balls, and perfect for constructing a little snowman friend.
So she and Jason created our snow buddy....meet Boo Boo.
Doesn't he look like a jolly fella?
Joy, honey....you're losing your pants.....(pants on the ground)! (She was wearing some of my old sweats) :)
That's my feet....had to show you the 4-5"! I love the crunchy sound of the snow under my boots!
It's hard to wear this girl down....tire her out.....to make her want to go inside and get warm! Oh to have that energy again! Glad I'll have her around to help with Luke! :)
And of course, I had to capture some snow scenery photos for our picture album.
My mama and daddy's place next door...they have all the trees!
Oh, and the not-so-fun part about playing in the snow.....the mound of laundry!
It's snowing lots more as I type this so we'll see what happens after this front moves through. I can honestly say we've had our snow(s), and spring would be really nice! I can see why all of you folks in the north talk so much about spring and are so eager to send me some of your snow :)
Thank you for stopping by! :)

Wow, sounds like daddy and daughter had a great day in the snow. We had 23 inches at our place. No one really got to play much because there was too much plowing that needed to get done. Took my hubby over 8 hours to find our drive.
Enjoy the next front.

Placebo bassist and co-founder on popularity in America, the new album, and strange touring partners.
Placebo may be finally ready to take their proper place in stardom here in the United States.
The band – consisting of Brian Molko (vocals, guitar), Stefan Olsdal (bass) and Steve Hewitt (drums) – have been a fixture in the native England and the rest of Europe (if not all over the world) for several years now. First gaining attention as Ashtray Heart, the band garnered attention with their eponymous 1996 debut under their recent name. While the UK press loves mocing lead singer Molko for gis flamboyant ways, the band has gained a powerful fan following abroad.
In The United Sytates, however, the band had a cult following. With the exception of "Pure Morning" (from Without You I'm Nothing), not much had been heard from or about the band here overseas. That has changed within the last year, as their newest album, Meds, has slowly but surely gained attention. With "Running Up The Hill" featured on television shows such as "Bones" and "The O.C." and an upcoming feature spot on the Coachella Festival lineup, Placebo may soon be a household name in the United States as well as the United Kingdom.
Recently, 411 had a chance to talk to co-founder Stefan Olsdal about the band's upcoming prominence in the United States. On the phone from Europe, Olsdal was gracious and forthcoming about the new record and breaking over here.
Michael Melchor: What led to the decision to re-release Meds? I know that the album was leaked initially before it came out on Astralwerks and a couple newer singles have been let out recently; I didn't know if that had anything to do with it, or if it was simply remastered and you'd decided to put it out there?
Stefan Olsdal: Well, there was a slight change in record company; we're still under the EMI/Virgin umbrella. Also, it was one of those things that just happened to try and give it another push, you know? Some was editing; it's going into the K-Marts and stuff like that so we have to sort of tone down on the swearing a little bit and change a couple tracks. Also, things are starting to happen in the States, so we wanted to give it a second push.
MM: That's something I was going to ask about, also – I've noticed you've been building quite an audience here in the U.S.; the song "Running Up The Hill" has been featured on a couple shows over here, you've been on tour with She Wants Revenge and not only completely sold those out, but were in demand to be the headliners for all but three shows – very well done, by the way...
SO: Oh, thank you.
MM: I was going to ask what it was like building that audience and finally getting that kind of attention over here after being around as long as you guys have now?
SO: It's cool, you know; we've had more success here in the UK in the beginning of our career and Europe had taken to us, also. We've always had kind of a cult following in the States; we'd spent a couple months touring each album [in the U.S.]. There seems to be more of a connection over there and things are starting to happen now; we're playing Coachella and we'll probably do another headlining tour. We've always done a couple shows, but now we're getting more attention. The MySpace page has gained a strong following and has had a really positive response. So we're just kind of building on that, you know, and we have a hard time saying "no" to people that want to see us play. [Laughs] It's a new place for us to go to.
MM: You touched on something else I was going to get into with this year's Coachella Festival – if there was any idea for some sort of set list yet?
SO: The set list is based around Meds right now; we figure we're playing to a huge audience of people that don't know us and many are seeing us for the first time. We'll also sprinkle some older stuff as well.
MM: Right – introduce them to where you are now and give them a taste of what came before.
SO: Exactly.
MM: Very good. How did you get involved in it – were you contacted to play or did your management reach out to someone there?
SO: Yeah, it was a conversation between the organizers who contacted our management. It's been in the cards for a while, actually. They called us about it and we'd heard a lot of good things about it but we've never been to it – we haven't been as spectators, either. Everyone who talks about it just loves it.
MM: Nice. I was going to ask about some of the style changes as far as the music goes as well. Black Market Music was more guitar-driven and raw, while Sleeping With Ghosts was more electronic and leaned more toward that style. With Meds, it sounds like you've gone back to the more guitar-driven style, although more refined, obviously. Is there a preferred style or does it come down to whatever you're feeling and maybe the mood of the music itself at the time?
SO: I think Meds was kind of a reaction to Sleeping With Ghosts; we'd pushed the mix between rock and electronics to its logical conclusion. We felt we'd done that with Sleeping With Ghosts. With Meds, we wanted a return to rock and a return to the feel of being in a room together and performing as a band together like it was 10 years ago when we did the first album. Kind of keep things fresh again and to get away from sitting behind a computer screen all day and playing with loops and samples. We wanted a return to analog; more of a guitar base and a live feel.
MM: To sit down and play and see how it feels again.
SO: Right, to become a band again; it's so easy to put an album together on computer and you can lose emotion and personality. While we've played for a long time, we haven't been good musicians [recently], so we wanted to go back to that as well. [Laughs]
MM: [Laughs] Well, you're not bad musicians at all. We know that. Is there anything you can tell us about any U.S. tour plans coming up?
SO: Well, we'll be there around Coachella, but we're not sure what's going to happen after that; we're still working on it. But I'd say maybe around April and May, we should be [in the States].
MM: Is there anyone you'd like to tour with? I know you've played a few spot shows with The Cure; I didn't know if they'd be a possibility. Or is there someone else you'd like to go out with?
SO: I wouldn't mind being out with ABBA. [Laughs]
MM: [Laughs] Nice!
SO: In seriousness, Sonic Youth would be cool. So, yeah, those two – Sonic Youth and Placebo with ABBA headlining.
MM: Very good. Hell, I'd go. [Laughs]
SO: [Laughs]
MM: The last thing I wanted to hit on was how the band got involved in the "Global Cool" organization and in fighting global warming?
SO: They got in touch with us and, if there's anything we can do to help, we will. We've been involved with charities and awareness groups in the past and if we can spread some kind of positive message in anyway, we'll do it.

Catching Up on 'Dynasty' Episode 7: "A Temporary Infestation"
Dynasty is currently on a hiatus for winter break, but I still have a couple of episodes to catch up on, which seems to be a common theme here at MFST as of recently. So, I haven't reviewed the show since after the show's sixth episode, which I did in a big catch-up article but now, I need to catch up on all of the episodes leading up to the midseason finale. First up in this mini catch-up is episode seven of Dynasty:
Blake and Cristal announce and enjoy their newly engaged status while as Alexis replaces the fake baby in the nativity scene and replace it with the real baby, leaving the rest of the family to deal with it. Her plan works and Sam takes responsibility for the baby for the time-being and gets Kirby to help find a nanny while Alexis calls CPS, or at least that's what she tells everyone.
Cristal and Blake are supposed to be in their post-engagement bliss but Alexis apparently says something that bothers Cristal enough to mess with her. Long story short, Cristal pays off a maid to kill her plants going into her newly refurbished loft, tries to get Alexis to believe in it happening because old Cristal's spirits being angry at her, and then Alexis getting back at her and getting Cristal to admit that she killed the plants on purpose. At first, it seems like Alexis has won the war when in reality, Cristal was playing a larger game. The video of Cristal admitting to killing the plants didn't really phase Blake, as she'd hope, but for a while there, Alexis felt pretty proud of herself. Cristal, however, is onto her when it comes to baby Matthew (or Little Blake as they've all been calling him), Claudia, and potentially Hank.
Culhane works with Jeff in this episode by organizing a poker game. At first, it seems like it isn't going to happen because Monica is also working with Fallon and Broken Glass Recording Artists, her new potential business endeavor, but they end up just doing both at the club. Unfortunately, however, Culhane sends a smoke bomb into the club so that both of his worlds (the one with Ada and the other with Fallon) collide after Ada meets Fallon pretending to be someone else. By the end of the episode, Fallon tells Culhane that she and Liam kissed at the party, but that it's over between them now and Culhane is just the great supportive fiancé that he is.
Final Thoughts
Blake and Cristal already being engaged seems a little premature, but after losing the first Cristal, I guess I can understand why he wants to be with someone and why he seems so urgent in wanting to start a life with someone. That aside, it'll be interesting to see where the feud between Cristal and Alexis goes and who's going to win out in the end. As for Culhane, he seems to be way over his head with the whole Ada situation, especially since if Fallon knew about it, she'd probably resolve it a lot faster.

Pumpkin patches and corn mazes… is it really autumn if you haven't enjoyed these? I got to take Tin-tin to his very first corn maze this weekend. We were visiting my folks out in the country, which was an absolute blast, and it reminded me that I really do want to live on some acreage… more on that later. The pumpkin patch was full of activities including a trampoline pillow, inflatable slides, and a tractor train ride. By the time we got to the corn maze, my little guy was getting worn out. We entered the maze and made a few turns, maybe 10 minutes of adventure, when he matter-of-factly announced,
"I want to get out now."
Erm… isn't that what we were doing? Wandering around until we found our way out? That's kind of the point, buddy! Fearing a meltdown, I tried to think of alternatives. "Do you want to just cut through and go straight out, buddy?" Cheating is better than crying any day, and desperate times call for desperate measures. It would surely take us quite awhile to move forward, so what other choice did we have?
"No, let's just go back."
… oh. I didn't even think of retracing our steps. As we simply walked back the way we had come, and back out of the entrance, I had to smile. I wonder how many times in life we get stuck in a false conundrum, when there's a simple answer. I've always enjoyed the quote, "Don't stay committed to your mistake just because you spent a long time making it." When you realize something isn't for you, it's okay to just call it quits and figure something else out. If you feel like you don't have any options, try asking a kid. They'll think of something.

Eight Australian pines at South Inlet Park in Boca Raton will be saved.
The trees were scheduled for removal as part of Palm Beach County's plan to protect restored dunes from the pines, which can provide harmful competition for native plants. Residents had argued that the trees should stay.
Through an agreement reached between Boca Raton City Council member Susan Whelchel and County Commissioner Mary McCarty, the county, along with volunteers, will remove seeds, seedlings and needles that could lead to further encroachment on the dune.
Anyone interested in volunteering to save the pines should call McCarty at 407355-2204 or Whelchel at 561-393-7703.

Firearms from the household have been an age-old American heritage. Indeed, the right to keep arms is a critical part of the Constitution. More than 50% of U.S. households have at least one firearm, often purchased for protection. No matter the reason for ownership, safety is a top priority. Did you know that a gun in your household is 43 times more likely to injure or even kill a family member than an intruder? Firearm injuries are among the leading causes of death in children, including accidental shootings, suicide, and murder.
To prevent a tragedy, it's important to educate everyone in the household about gun safety
Pediatricians frequently question parents about firearms in the home – more than 40% of U.S. households with weapons also have kids. The American Society of Pediatrics even offers safety guidelines in its Keep Your Family Safe By Firearm Injury program. The safest path of all is to not allow firearms in your house, particularly handguns.
But many households have multiple guns
Maybe someone in the home collects firearms or enjoys target shooting. Or perhaps the family has inherited grandpa's set of shotguns and hunting rifles. Kids are kids – that a hidden gun will soon be found. And even children acquainted with gun safety can make mistakes. Ensure that your child or children know that a gun is not a toy. Teach children not to deal with a firearm unless in the presence of an adult. A good rule of thumb that the smallest child can understand: Never point a gun at another human being unless you would like to shoot and kill them. It's crucial to store all weaponry and ammunition safely.
Store firearms and ammo separately, and lock them up
Storage chests, locking gun examples and trigger locks are among the options. Local sporting goods stores or gun dealers offer useful choices. For those looking to safely and stylishly display gun collections, check out local furniture stores or online for everything from simple cases to handcrafted Amish gun cabinets. Look for sturdy construction along with locking drawers and doors. Trigger locks are a lock that closes the trigger of your weapon that will not allow you to use the gun without the knowledge of the owner.
This lock is installed directly on the trigger of the firearm
Locking the flip-flops of this device is designed to lock the clamp or hook. Universal: suitable for most conventional models of weapons from gas and pneumatic pistols to hunting rifles. It is great as an additional security measure. They are useful when going on a hunt, hiking in the shooting range and keeping at home. Trigger locks consist of two components: one of them passes through the bracket and is closed with a key or code mechanism. After the locks are installed, it is impossible to take a picture. It's made of high-quality special alloy. Have original rubber gaskets to avoid scratching or damaging the weapon. These locks are available in various forms.

Hockey is the oldest known ball and stick game. Records exist of it having been played in Persia in 2000 BC. In medieval Europe, pictures of men playing a game with hooked sticks appear on stained-glass windows at both the Canterbury and Gloucester cathedrals. It became so popular by the Middle Ages that it was banned in England for a time because it interfered with the practice of archery, which was the basis for national defense. The name hockey probably derives from the French hocquet, or shepherd's crook, and refers to the crooked stick.
India dominated the sport for three decades, winning all six Olympic gold medals and 30 consecutive games from 1928 to 1956. The first Balbir Singh, who was followed by four more players of the same name who also played for victorious Indian teams, scored five goals in a 6-1 gold-medal victory over the Netherlands at Helsinki in 1952.

Agencies give tips on wildfire risk mitigation and management
TOPEKA, Kan. – Newly-elected Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly proclaimed Feb. 4-8, 2019 as Wildfire Awareness Week.
"Kansas, like any other state, is susceptible to wildfires," said Sen. Tom Hawk who joined in the proclamation signing. "Wildfires can easily get out of hand. One of the critical pieces of combating wildfires is that we have people at the local level who are trained and have the right equipment to fight those fires. Because every minute that passes means that a wildfire can become a real disaster."
The 2019 wildfire season is projected to have an earlier start with a slight increase in predicted fire weather events in the southwest and central areas of the state. This is the same area that experienced significant fires in the last three years, including the Starbuck and Anderson Creek fires, burning over 800,000 acres at a cost of more than $80 million.
According to fire officials, nearly 95 percent of all wildfires result from the activity of people, and subsequently, a significant number could be prevented by taking proper actions toward fire safety. Every Kansan can implement practices highlighted during Wildfire Awareness Week to prevent dangerous wildfires.
The Office of the State Fire Marshal and Kansas Interagency Wildfire Council suggest that to mitigate the risk of wildfire and reduce potential impacts if a wildfire does occur:
- Check the forecast before conducting a prescribed burn to ensure proper conditions.
- Avoid activities that could spark fires, like welding, grinding and cutting, near buildings and potential fuel sources like dry vegetation.
- Do your part to reduce the risk of loss from wildfire to your home and property.
- Report fires to 911 immediately. Wildfires spread quickly – a quick response can reduce the impact of a potentially devastating fire.
- Check burn piles after the burn is completed. Embers in debris piles can reignite even after several days, and spark a new fire.
- Maintain a safe distance from wildfire and other emergency scenes. Emergency personnel need space to perform fire suppression activities and fire directions can change quickly, endangering bystanders
Throughout the 2019 Wildfire Awareness Week, the Kansas Interagency Wildfire Council and participating agencies will remind Kansans of the dangers posed by wildfires and the simple steps that should be followed to prepare for and prevent them.
Follow the hashtag #WildfireKS on social media during Wildfire Awareness Week to engage in the conservation. Be sure to like and follow @WildfireKS on Twitter and @KSKIWC on Facebook to see the latest on wildfire in Kansas year-round.

Reads of the Week
- Great read on the CIA's secret sites in Somalia from The Nation. Always a great site for solid investigative reporting.
- Slightly cloying Peter Biskind profile of Warren Beatty and the making of Reds. Not a film I've ever felt quite as fond of as Biskind appears to, but undoubtedly the kind of film that you would never get made, let alone seen, today.
- Nice mini-memoir of a life growing up with Christian contemporary music in the 1990s alternative scene. Not music I know personally, but still an engaging piece.
- Terrific profile of Bridgewater Associates founder and guru Ray Dalio. Read this article with the thought in your mind that his man manages the largest hedge fund in the world and, further, note the justification he gives for blending his spiritual enlightenment with a socially bankrupt form of finance.
- The best though… an astonishing account of the revolution in Yemen from those on the ground. Utterly superb journalism at a time that is vitally important.

Southwood Golf & Country Club is busy preparing to be a host venue for the 2017 Canada Summer Games.
The club has been readying the course, facilities, and staff for this world-class event. Things like security, transportation, volunteers, and clubhouse services are already being put into place.
The course has a long history of holding large events, hosting both the Canadian Men's Amateur Championship and the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (now USports) University/College Championship in 2014.
The current course opened along the LaSalle River in 2011, however, the club itself is 122 years old, making it the oldest club with the newest course, said Jeff Scott, the General Manager of Southwood. The original course was located next to the University of Manitoba on Markham Road.
Canadian golf course architect, Thomas McBroom, designed Southwood. With five tee boxes and yardage ranging from 5,314 to 7,311, McBroom turned Southwood into a championship golf course that grows with golfers.
Southwood has a combination of hills and open spaces, giving it plenty of great vantage points for spectators. Those looking to watch the tournament can move around the course with ease or stay put and surround themselves with the action. Standing on the 10th hole permits a view of golfers playing the par 3 11th hole, putting on the 12th green, teeing off on n.13, and making approach shots on the 17th hole.
Scott is excited to showcase Southwood to both golfers and spectators.
"Being a private club, people don't get the opportunity to see what Southwood has to offer," Scott said. "[The Canada Summer Games] gives us the opportunity to show off the facilities, but also give back and make sure we are promoting golf in Manitoba."
Catch all the birdies, eagles and maybe even an ultra-rare albatross August 8-11 during the Hottest Summer in Half a Century. Southwood Golf & Country Club (80 Rue des Ruines du Monastere) is just minutes outside the south perimeter and only 30 minutes from downtown Winnipeg.

Book your tickets here to visit Small Change. This home is open for pre-booked tours only, the address will not be displayed.
Small Change Design and Construction, has developed a number of standard designs for small homes, the Norlane house being an example of her 'XS Quark' model customised, to suit the block. She has built another one next door to her own home.
Walking into the house, an entry space opens into a bright kitchen/living room area. There's a study nook at the extension of the entry, facing the bedroom which has a built-in robe. A bathroom and laundry are tucked into the south-west corner of the house. To create room for storage, the house has a loft perched above the kitchen, accessed by a ladder.
The tiny size of the dwelling is belied by the generous feeling of space created by the high vaulted ceilings of a steep, gabled roof made of Custom Orb steel, and it is the combination of clever design and size (and consequently low embodied energy) that makes the home most appealing from a sustainability point of view.
A north-facing orientation, polished concrete waffle pod slab and double-glazed windows with thermally improved aluminium frames provide the passive solar credentials. Two ceiling fans are used to move air around and a split system air-conditioner is in position to heat and cool as needed. "The house is very stable temperature-wise," Sally says.
But it is the home's tiny size that remains its raison d'être and most outstanding feature. There is a growing interest in tiny houses in Victoria in recent years, largely due to the unaffordability of larger, more standard housing, and granny flats are starting to be more common in major cities in Australia. Tiny houses recommend themselves strongly on sustainability, she says, in both reducing energy bills for homeowners and greenhouse gas emissions through less embodied energy.
This home is an example of comfortable and practical, sustainable living that can appeal to many. It represents the meeting of canny, green design and affordability. "With the very high vaulted ceilings it feels surprisingly grand," Sally says. "It actually feels huge, like the Tardis."
Designed by Sally Wills of Small Change Design and Construction

This house achieved a NatHERS rating of 7 stars using NatHERS accredited software (FirstRate5). Find out how the star ratings work on the Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS) website.

Ambien has become a popular prescription drug to help peolpe with anxiety and sleep. But like any other drug, it can have troubling effects on those who take it. One of the regular questions we get is can I get a DUI if I have taken an Ambien?
Under Florida law, one can get a DUI by being under the influence of alcohol, a controlled substance, or a chemical substance. Clearly, Ambien is not alcohol, so is it one of the others? Surprisingly, Ambien is neither a conrolled substance or a chemical substance. This means that if one is under the influence of Ambien and drives, one cannot be found guilty of DUI.
This may be either a relief or troubling. It may be a relief if you have been prescribed Ambien. However, it may be troubling because of the stories circulating around Ambien and driving. At Soler & Slack, P.A., we hear many stories about those who take Ambien and drive. One of the more bizarre is an individual who took an Ambien and went to sleep in his home in Sarasota. He woke up in a jail in Polk County under arrest for DUI, not remembering any of what happened.
While the above story is frightening, for the person who took the Ambien and for the other motorists, it is not really that common. Under Florida law, he was not convicted of a DUI because Ambien is not a controlled or chemical substance under Florida law. This, however, may change. Even though one cannot be convicted of DUI, one should always take new medication with caution and avoid driving until one knows how one will be effected by the medication.

Real Estate Team vs an Individual agent
I'm sure you have been noticing the increase in Real Estate Teams in our market and for good reason. The big questions is, what is the difference between a real estate team vs an individual agent. Let me explain. A successful and highly referred individual real estate agent can only handle up to a certain amount of business on their own until they hit a ceiling or worse – a burnout. The best agents in the business have a desire to help everyone who calls upon them for their real estate needs.
Some successful agents will work as a team without expressing it in a logo or making it public knowledge. They may hire an assistant to do paperwork or hire a newer agent to cover some showings but no one succeeds alone.
When it comes to publicly marketed Real Estate teams, like The Pro's Real Estate Team, we are proud to give credit where credit is due. On a real estate team, each individual agent works on specific tasks they are great at and they focus on getting even better at the one job. For example; I am the listing specialist, I work with sellers to determine a price that will make the home sell, I help get the property ready for the market, and I answer any questions pertaining to hiring our team for the job. My marketing department handles all of and only the marketing. This allows them the ability to properly market a home without feeling rushed or making mistakes. If I was in the middle of a marketing campaign and had to run out to several appointments I might forget something important. Our buyer specialists work solely with helping buyers find the right home that fits their needs. There is no need to rush them as they do not work with complex listing marketing or having to go on appointments with sellers. They spend their days sorting through property, running market analysis to determine if homes are price right for their buyers and showing homes that work.
Related Article: How to buy a home – The Process
We find buyer agents are people who like to work with people however they are not always the most detail and organized of the group. They are great at listening and analyzing needs but not so much filing documents. Our team has a specialized Administrative department that prefers keeping things tidy around the office, watching contract dates like hawks, and protecting our client's assets through coordination of all the steps both buyers and sellers have to go through in the real estate transaction.
Working with a team, you know you are in good hands, because there is a specialist in every aspect of your journey. Buying and selling real estate is a journey for sure.
I look back on my individual agent days and wonder how I ever got along without my team.
Related Article: How to gain more profit on the sale of your home
When interviewing a real estate professional whether on a team or an individual make sure you ask for specific track records of past sales, their role on the team, the number of people employed by the team, the breakdown of the team structure and who you will actually be working with along the way. Don't let an individual agent tell you not to work with a team because you will get lost in the shuffle- from my own experience as a team owner and a busy successful individual agent- the team is well oiled machine that functions at much higher level of business than anyone ever could handle alone. It's easy, Just Call the Pros.
If you happen to be a real estate professional reading this and you're wondering how you can get the help you may need to avoid success burnout or you want to know how to find a role where you can specialize on a pre-existing team, you too can Just Call The Pros. We are growing with every new and happy client we serve.

Nicholson, David. Flying Home: Seven Stories of the Secret City. Arlington, VA: Paycock Press, 2015. 147 pp. $12.95 (paper).
Reviewed by Brian Gilmore
In the 1937 essay "Blueprint for Negro Writing," Richard Wright wrote that "no theory of life can take the place of life." It is, according to Wright, "the task of the writer to plant flesh upon those bones out of his will to live." Considering Wright was writing what James Baldwin and others once deemed "protest literature" the effectiveness of his writing was rooted in his ability to make his characters come to life in a meaningful way.
Though Washington, D.C. writer David Nicholson did not choose Wright's burden of making protest literature soar as art, Nicholson does take Wright's words to heart in Flying Home: Seven Stories from the Secret City, his debut collection. Nicholson's characters and their troubled, complex lives, become flesh and bones but also rich and meaningful. Many of us know characters like Tyson, the former Negro League ball player in Nicholson's "Seasons." Here, "flesh" does get placed "upon those bones" and what happens to Tyson becomes important—one of the key components of accessible storytelling. Continue reading this post…

Benedict XVI abolishes Limbo
Pope Benedict XVI has abolished Limbo and we talk with Dr Paul Mc Partlan, member of the International Theological Commission.
Stephen Crittenden: Welcome to The Religion Report.
MUSIC - from the "Adagio" by Samuel Barber
Stephen Crittenden: Whenever I hear that music I think of Limbo; but it's official, the Pope has abolished Limbo, the strange space where Catholics used to be taught dead babies go if they haven't been baptised, perhaps to mix with ancient Greek philosophers.
Pope Benedict has approved a report by the International Theological Commission, saying that Limbo needs to go, and he says that Limbo was only ever a hypothesis.
Well there's been a lot of public interest in this story this week, and here at The Religion Report we wonder whether by closing the door on Limbo, Pope Benedict may be opening a window onto a much larger and more interesting subject: the question of whether perhaps everyone is going to heaven.
Professor Paul McPartlan is an English priest who teaches at the American Catholic University in Washington, and he's a member of the International Theological Commission. Professor McPartlan, thanks for joining us. One reaction from Catholics that I've heard a lot this week is the Pope can't abolish Limbo, it never existed.
Paul McPartlan: Well first of all thank you very much for inviting me on your program, it's a great pleasure to be with you. There is indeed a certain sense in which that reply is correct, because what the International Theological Commission is saying in our report, which has just recently been published, is that Limbo was a place that for all sorts of very understandable reasons, was believed theologically to be a serious option, largely in the Middle Ages of the Church's history, but in fact now we think there is a better way in which we can give an account of the mysteries of salvation which Limbo served at one point, but we think there are better ways of expressing it now. So we're not exactly saying at all in fact that there is a place called Limbo and its inhabitants have just been moved on somewhere else. We're saying that now in fact the existence of such a place, which was always something of a theological theory, is not now deemed to be the best way of describing of God's purpose.
Stephen Crittenden: Tell us how the theory originated, and also when did the word 'Limbo' start to be used?
Paul McPartlan: Well the word 'Limbo' really in the way that we have come to know it, really dates from around about 1200, but I suppose the story starts much earlier, particularly in the dispute between Augustine and Pelagius. We believe, and I think it's important to say first of all that of course the church only has a mandate to teach what has been revealed, and of course not everything has been revealed, and it's important to know when something hasn't been revealed; it's important to know when the church comes to the threshold of what has been revealed. So what has been revealed in this area? Well first of all that God wants everyone to be saved. Paul tells that to Timothy in his first letter to him. But also Jesus, at the end of Matthew's Gospel, says 'Go and baptise everyone'. And so we believe that everyone in some sense is in need of baptism; there must be something wrong in a sense, and it was really thanks to Augustine that we got a greater clarity about what was wrong, the sense of original sin. And he was very much in dispute with Pelagius who had a sense of the original innocence really of babies. And Augustine thought 'Well no, this can't possibly be true, it doesn't accord with the Gospels'. And therefore there's only Heaven and Hell, and if Jesus said to go and baptise and these infants haven't been baptised, then I think with great reluctance, we must say he believed that they must be in Hell, but probably just on the threshold of it. And of course 'threshold' is in Latin, 'limbus', which is where I suppose the idea originates. And so he thought that these infants were in the threshold of Hell.
But nevertheless, in the Middle Ages that kind of threshold idea really in many ways, and the story does get very complex, and we give an account of it in the report, that place that had been if you like, the threshold of Hell, in some ways became a sort of middle place between Heaven and Hell, a place that wasn't the beatific vision of Heaven, it wasn't a state of damnation in Hell, it was the sort of place of natural happiness, and that's I suppose Limbo that people are most familiar with, a place of natural happiness.
Stephen Crittenden: A bit like Australia really.
Paul McPartlan: (laughs) Having visited Australia a few years ago, I found it a wonderful place.
Stephen Crittenden: Probably for most Catholics, Limbo has been regarded as trivial or even as a folk tale for a long time, but for others, it's a belief that has been deeply ingrained since childhood. Is the church being a little too casual about this announcement? I mean what does it do to people's faith when they're confronted by the idea that these places are intellectual constructions, not physical realities?
Paul McPartlan: Well I think when you say intellectual constructions, you know there's a danger that that sounds a little bit like idle speculation, and we must certainly say this was never idle speculation. This was a very seriously thought out answer to a very serious pastoral problem. But perhaps I could just recall something that happened to me last Autumn, because after our meeting of the International Theological Commission in Rome last Autumn, and I came back here to the USA, and I'd given an interview just before I left Rome, and we were discussing the sort of ideas that were starting to take shape in this document, and that was reported. And suddenly out of the blue a lady telephoned me and said that she was just so delighted to hear the news of what might be taking shape as the church's new formulation and presentation of this aspect of our faith, because she herself, about 20 years ago, had lost a baby in very tragic circumstances, this baby had never been baptised, and she was terribly distressed, and she had wanted to know even then, what had happened to her baby, would she see her baby in Heaven, would she ever be reunited with her child? And she said she was never able to get a serious answer, and she'd lived all this time not knowing, and this troubled her so much that even speaking to me on the telephone she was becoming really very upset. And I think we have the sense here that there are many people in that sort of situation, it's a real pastoral conundrum.
Stephen Crittenden: Indeed, and what does the church say to all those people? People who have lost babies who have I guess had grief inflicted upon them for all those years.
Paul McPartlan: Well what the church says and what is very much the watchword of the new report, is the word 'hope'. The message of the report is I suppose you could say, 'Are we entitled to hope that such infants may be admitted to the vision of God in Heaven?' - and the report says 'We are entitled to hope that that may indeed be the case'. In other words, we don't have sure knowledge, this has not been revealed to us, and we mustn't presume to have knowledge, but from all that we know about God and his purposes and his ways, are we entitled to hope that such infants may indeed enjoy salvation and the vision of God and that we may indeed be reunited with them.
Stephen Crittenden: I wonder whether the figure of a theologian like Hans Urs von Balthazar isn't hovering behind this story, and whether in closing the door on Limbo you're not perhaps opening the door on a much wider and more interesting question. It seems to me there's been a bit of a sensibility shift in recent years, that perhaps the last few Popes, maybe even the last half dozen Popes, have been undercover universalists who really do either believe or hope that we're all in the end going to be saved, and doesn't the abolition of Limbo open that question up a bit further?
Paul McPartlan: Well this of course is a very ancient conundrum in the church, and great figures in the church's history have debated this ever since the earliest centuries. You're quite right to mention Hans Urs von Balthazar as somebody who in recent times has revived discussion of this, but of course it's not only him by any means. We can think also of Karl Rahner and his understanding of the work of grace; we can think of Henri de Lubac, we can think of so many great figures who lay behind the Second Vatican Council and its reflections. And of course it has always been believed that we are indeed entitled to hope that all people may be saved. We must believe that there is such as place as Hell, we must believe that we are born in original sin and that something has got to happen for us to get into Heaven, we don't just merrily go into Heaven without some definite change from the state in which we're born. But are we entitled to believe that either through the ordinary channel which is baptism, or through the mysterious action of God himself in his love and mercy, many, many people, and perhaps even all people find their way into Heaven ultimately, well we are entitled to hope.
Stephen Crittenden: You know, I wonder whether this isn't partly a reaction to the Holocaust that people can't believe in any other eventuality any more. But I'll just get you finally to comment on my suggestion: do you think the present Pope and perhaps more especially the last one, were, are, universalists?
Paul McPartlan: Well what I would say, just to wind the history back just a wee bit further, to the Second Vatican Council. At the time of the Second Vatican Council when opinions were being canvassed in many quarters as to what the Council should declare, what it should discuss, what it should reflect upon, there were many people who wanted to take what had been that theological opinion from the Middle Ages that there was a place called Limbo, and that unbaptised infants definitely went there. They wanted the Council to declare this definitively so that it became the clear doctrine of the church. And in the discussion that preceded the Council, it's very interesting to see that this was proposed and that those who were preparing the drafts for the Council said actually Well no, the Council isn't going to reflect on this; it was sifted out, if you like, at that stage. First of all because they said there's simply no fixed consensus in the minds of the faithful about this. And secondly they said 'It's not actually the faith of our people, the "Sensus Fidelium". In the hearts of believers we sense that there must be a possibility that such infants are saved because God is merciful.' And of course Pope John Paul who was a young bishop at the Council, one of the great themes of his pontificate is the theme of divine mercy and of course he actually died on the vigil of the Feast of Divine Mercy just a couple of years ago by a strange mystery of providence. And I think there's a sense that 30, 40 years after the Council now, perhaps we're at a providential time for returning to reflection on this very serious pastoral issue, with a greater sense of divine mercy, with a greater sense of hope, there's been a great development in the theology of hope in recent times; a great sense also that we simply do not know all the mysterious ways of God, and the Council was very clear that there are things that happen in a way that's known only to God and we cannot presume to say exactly how they happen, but God's ways are mysterious.
Stephen Crittenden: Wonderful having you on the program; thanks very much for your time.
Paul McPartlan: It's a great pleasure, thank you.

Skin ages indefinitely, but the rate at which it ages is controllable. Premature skin aging from the sun and other free radicals in the environment causes skin to lose its elasticity making it become thin and wrinkled. Taking precautions to fight free radicals as well as to keep the body hydrated from the inside out is the best natural way of getting rid of wrinkles on the face.
The Best Natural Way of Getting Rid of Wrinkles on the Face
Cleanse the skin with a milk and honey cleanser. Honey is a natural humectant which means it attracts and locks in needed moisture lost by mature skin. Milk contains lactic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid that exfoliates skin and prevents wrinkles.
Combine 1/2 teaspoon of honey and 1 teaspoon of whole milk and massage into the skin. Rinse off with lukewarm water.
Follow the milk and honey cleanser with a sugar scrub. Sugar contains glycolic acid which is another alpha hydroxy acid that goes deep within the skin to repair damage before it reaches skins' surface. The sugar will also remove dead skin cells for a brighter more youthful appearance.
Take 1 teaspoon of sugar and gently massage into the skin in circular motions. This will increase circulation in the skin to promote new cell growth. Rinse with lukewarm water.
Make an intense night wrinkle treatment by mixing 1/4 teaspoon of pure vitamin E oil and 1/4 teaspoon of olive oil and apply it to the face and neck. Vitamin E oil is an antioxidant that repairs and blocks free radical damage that causes wrinkles while olive oil makes skin more permeable for a plump and wrinkle-free appearance.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- After a sharp decline on Monday, the S&P 500 bounced back on Tuesday.
On CNBC's "Fast Money" TV show, Brian Kelly, founder of Brian Kelly Capital, said rising heating costs for consumers could crimp spending. Natural gas is up 25% in 2014 and propane costs could double for some customers.
Kelly said he would likely exit his long natural gas position sometime later this month. He added the S&P 500's selloff could continue if Wednesday's ISM data is weaker than expected.
Pete Najarian, co-founder of optionmonster.com and trademonster.com, said consumers are continuing to buy select items from Michael Kors (KORS) and Under Armour (UA) - Get Report while ignoring retailers such as J.C. Penney (JCP) - Get Report.
Guy Adami, managing director of stockmonster.com, agreed consumers are spending, but only in specific areas. He said the consumer does not appear as healthy as investors seem to think.
Dan Nathan, co-founder and editor of riskreversal.com, said the SPDR S&P Retail ETF (XRT) - Get Report has drastically underperformed the S&P 500, down 12% versus 5%, respectively. He added the weak January auto sales show that U.S. consumers are drained at the moment.
Paul Hickey, co-founder of Bespoke Investment Group, was a guest on the show. He said the recent 5% pullback in U.S. equities has been "very textbook." He added that at this time there doesn't seem to be anything that investors should worry about. His top sector picks include consumer discretionary, financials, industrials and materials. Of those industries, his top picks include Comcast(CMCSA) - Get Report, Bank of America (BAC) - Get Report, Alliant Technology (ATK) , and Dow Chemical (DOW) - Get Report.
Nathan said he is a seller of Google (GOOG) - Get Report. The stock is up 50% from one year ago but the company recently missed on earnings and has shrinking margins. He called the stock "priced for perfection."
Adami said he was surprised how much Google popped after earnings and said it could trade down to the low $1,000s.
Apple (AAPL) - Get Report has continued to hold the $500 level amid the market selloff. Najarian likes it that the company is likely to introduce wearable technology, which could add $17 billion to the company's revenue next year.
Microsoft (MSFT) - Get Report said one of its own executives, Satya Nadella, will be the new CEO. Adami called the stock "fine" at current levels and said it could be at $40 if it weren't for the recent weakness in the broader market.
Najarian likes Facebook (FB) - Get Report, which is up 15% in 2014. He said the company has figured out how to monetize mobile, which now accounts for 53% of its revenue.
Ted Bailey, founder, CEO and chairman of Dataminr, was a guest on the show. His company has algorithms dig through the 500 million daily tweets on Twitter (TWTR) - Get Report and provide relevant, actionable trading ideas to clients. He said Twitter is considered a public source of information and that creates no compliance issues for his company with the SEC.
Arm Holdings (ARMH) was the first stock on the show's "Pops & Drops" segment. Kelly said the company reported weak earnings but he wouldn't sell it short near $40 support.
OpenTable (OPEN) was up 3% and Adami said investors could buy the stock's recent weakness ahead of earnings on Thursday.
Yum! Brands (YUM) - Get Reportwas up 9% after reporting earnings. Nathan said he wouldn't chase the stock since it will likely hit resistance near $75.
RadioShack (RSH) fell 5% after announcing it will close 500 stores. Najarian said the move won't be enough and the electronics retailer will need to think of something else to turn itself around.
Terence Burnham, a finance professor at Chapman University, was a guest on the show. Because U.S. bank accounts are only federally insured up to $250,000, he decided to remove all of his money from his checking account. He reasoned that the risk-to-reward scenario was unfavorable.
Because checking accounts pay a 0% interest rate, there is no reward to having your money there, he said. Since banks borrow short-term money and lend over the long term, it puts depositors at risk if there is some sort of global financial crisis, he concluded.
Another guest, Matt Burnell, an analyst at Wells Fargo, removed Citigroup (C) - Get Report from his priority list but kept his outperform rating on the stock. He reasoned that the recent issues in emerging markets could weigh on Citigroup because the bank has so much exposure. He said today's U.S. banks have much higher capital requirements and liquidity to handle the type of financial crisis to which Burnham was referring.
Kelly is a seller of Japanese bonds.
Adami said HainCelestialGroup(HAIN) - Get Report might find support near $80 after providing lower-than-expected guidance.
Najarian said there was some unusual bullish activity in DirecTV (DTV) , with a trader buying a noticeable amount of September $80 call options.
For their final trades, Nathan is selling Google and Kelly is buying the United States Oil ETF (USO) - Get Report. Najarian is a buyer of Twenty-First Century Fox (FOXA) - Get Report and Adami is buying Ultra Petroleum (UPL) .

Combine IoT and Blockchain and in principle, you make an irrefutable, secure and lasting technique for chronicle information prepared by "Smart" machines. This system of interconnected gadgets will have the capacity to collaborate with their condition and settle on choices with no human intercession.
The world is as of now brimming with connected devices — and more are coming.
In 2017, as per examiners Gartner, there were an expected 8.4 billion IoT gadgets. By 2020 that number could surpass 20 billion, and by 2030 there could be in excess of 500 billion. The ramifications of this transformation in availability stretch out a long ways past just cell phones and private houses. Truth be told, it's going to be connected on a modern scale to everything from refrigerators to cultivating to social insurance, in a way people can scarcely envision.
Any reasonable person would agree in a couple of years time, the physical world will be to a great degree interconnected and rather savvy. Be that as it may, this additionally speaks to an issue, since in their present frame, IoT gadgets are astoundingly shaky. Programmers have up to this point figured out how to control embedded cardiovascular gadgets, completely incapacitate autos remotely, and dispatch the world's biggest DDoS assault.
The security issue is a standout amongst the most convincing purposes behind using blockchain.
At present, any disappointment in an IoT biological community uncovered different gadgets, enormous measures of exceedingly close to home information (for instance, Smart home gadgets approach suggest insights about our lives and day by day schedules), inventory network accomplices and the network in general. Such security defects ordinarily rotate around three territories: validation, association, and exchange. Gadgets that check, associate or go through inappropriately with different gadgets are largely real concerns.
By utilizing blockchain to oversee access to information from IoT gadgets any assailant would need to sidestep an extra layer of security that is supported by probably the most vigorous encryption principles accessible. What's more, on the grounds that there's no concentrated expert, single-point disappointment concerns turn into ancient history, regardless of how populated a specific system is.
Oversight is another indispensable part that blockchain adds to the IoT condition.
With information exchanges occurring between various systems possessed and directed by numerous associations, a lasting, changeless record implies custodianship can be followed as information (or even physical things) go between focuses in the store network. Machines will record subtle elements of all exchanges that happen between themselves, with no human oversight. Without the private keys giving compose access to the blockchain (which for this situation would be held by machines), no human will have the capacity to overwrite the record with off base data.
Smart contracts are a genuine distinct advantage for IoT applications.
Through encoded rationale it is conceivable to make assentions which will be executed when certain conditions are met. This is to a great degree valuable for a wide range of situations. A most fundamental model is that you can approve an installment, when conditions demonstrate that conveyance of an administration has been given. Along these lines all collaborations between a purchaser and their associated gadget (or undoubtedly between associated gadgets) are taken care of in a straightforward, untamperable and frictionless way.
There is even a feeling that blockchain and IoT union will turn into a need sooner or later.
Under the predominant IoT worldview, gadgets are associated by means of a unified distributed storage and preparing administration. This is unsustainable long haul, similarly as with the quantity of associated gadgets and thusly information volumes expanding quickly, the frameworks dealing with this are probably going to get exceptionally enlarged, bringing about bottlenecks and wasteful aspects. Blockchains can comprehend this because of their dispersed nature, where the information stockpiling system is copied over the hundreds (or thousands, or millions) of gadgets which make up the system. This gigantic measure of repetition implies information will dependably be close nearby when it's required, chopping down exchange times and significance one server disappointment will be of no result to business movement.
