Limbaugh falsely implies Bush visited Dover to honor soldiers
Dissecting President Barack Obama's recent visit to Dover, where he saluted America's war dead on camera, right-wing radio personality Rush Limbaugh echoed the words of Elizabeth Cheney, falsely implying that President George W. Bush had done the same, but without the cameras.
"I don't know why he went to Dover," Cheney said during a Fox News radio interview on Thursday. "I think that it is clearly important for a commander in chief, whenever he can in whatever way possible, to pay tribute to our fallen soldiers, our fallen military folks. But I think, you know, what President Bush used to do is to do it without the cameras. And, um, I don't understand, sort-of showing up with the White House press pool, with photographers, and asking family members if you can take pictures. That's really hard for me to get my head around."
"President Bush used to do it!" said Limbaugh, as though to imply that the former president would visit Dover to honor the war dead, much as President Obama did earlier this week. "Boy, we didn't know it! She just told us something we didn't know. Bush used to do it, but there were no cameras. He did it privately with the families."
While Cheney's statement that President Bush used to "pay tribute" to fallen soldiers "without the cameras" is technically correct, it is deceptive in the context of President Obama's actions. Speaking about Obama's visit to Dover, then claiming that Bush "used to do it" sans media, is wrong because President Bush did no such thing.
"Mr. Obama's predecessor, President George W. Bush, visited the families of hundreds of fallen soldiers but did not attend any military funerals or go to Dover to receive the coffins," CBS News reported on Friday.
President George H.W. Bush was first to institute a policy banning media coverage of America's war dead returning home for burial. President Obama repealed that rule after just over a month in office.
During the early hours of Wednesday morning, President Obama gave a very public tribute to Army Sergeant Dale R. Griffin, of Terre Haute, Ind., who died in Afghanistan. It was the first time in decades a U.S. president and the media have been present to observe American caskets being unloaded.
Speaking to The Oregonian, the family of fallen soldier Pfc. Christopher "Ian" Walz — who was also received during Obama's visit to Dover, but was not photographed by the media — called the president "very genuine."
"[Ian] would have been really proud," Katrina Walz told the paper. "He really liked Obama."
Under the Obama administration's rules, individual families are given control over whether or not the caskets of fallen loved ones may be photographed by media. During Obama's visit to Dover, only one family authorized the media's presence.
"A majority of Americans favor allowing the public to see pictures of the military honor guard receiving the war dead at Dover, with about 60 percent responding positively and a third answering negatively in polls posing the question in 1991 and 2004," The Washington Post reported in February.

Cheerleader who was punished for taking a knee during football game wins $145K settlement
A former cheerleader for Kennesaw State University who took a knee during the National Anthem during a football game has been paid $145,000 in an out-of-court settlement, according to the Marietta Daily Journal.
Tommia Dean sued KSU's then-President Sam Olens, alongside Scott Whitlock and Matt Griffin who worked for the KSU athletics department at the time, after her public protest with four other cheerleaders which took place in 2017. She dropped her lawsuit after settling with the Georgia Department of Administrative Services for $145,000.
Trump appointee flails in Senate hearing as he tries to explain contradictory Pentagon statements
In the wake of news reports that the Trump administration is considering sending an additional 14,000 troops to the Middle East, potentially doubling the current amount of US troops sent to the region since May, the Pentagon's attempts to deny the revelations aren't going to well, according to Task & Purpose.
In a statement, Pentagon spokesperson Alyssa Farah said that there are no plans for a troop increase "at this time."
"As discussed in the hearing today, we are constantly evaluating the threat situation around the world and considering our options," Farah said. "We adjust our force posture and troop levels based on adversary action and the dynamic security situation. Secretary Esper spoke to Chairman Inhofe this morning and reaffirmed that we are not considering sending 14,000 additional troops to the Middle East at this time."

text: The research in Dr. Greenberg's laboratory is focused on the emerging field of sociomicrobiology. He is principally concerned with three aspects of sociomicrobiology: I. The biochemistry and molecular biology of environmental sensing and response in bacteria with a particular emphasis on a form of chemical communication between bacteria termed quorum sensing. II. The mechanisms by which bacteria switch from a nomadic existence to a sessile biofilm lifestyle and the mechanisms underlying the ability of biofilm bacteria to survive the action of antibiotics. III. The ways in which clonal populations of bacteria can discriminate themselves from other clonal populations. All of these phenomena are of importance in pathogenesis. Dr. Greenberg has concentrated much of his effort on Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic pathogenic bacterium that can cause both acute and persistent biofilm infections. Quorum sensing allows certain bacterial species to monitor their own population density and respond by activating transcription of specific sets of genes. Current investigations of gene regulation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa serve as the model for this type of sensing system. The Greenberg lab is studying the binding of the signal to the receptor, the synthesis of the signal, the mechanism of gene activation by this chemical communication system, and the targets of quorum sensing control. Quorum sensing in P. aeruginosa is required for biofilm development and this has led to an effort to understand gene expression in biofilms. The Greenberg lab has identified key regulatory elements that define commitment steps in the development of biofilms and these serve as targets for novel antibiofilm therapeutic development.

Have you ever gotten some news that pretty much kind of change your whole perception of how you are I'm what?!? Hi guys and welcome back to my videos I as you guess from the title of the video this is my DNA results test woop woo so I'm going to be giving you a run down of three things first of all why I decided to take the test test second of all little bit about the process and finally the results yeah I know what my fingers doesn't work so first of all reasons why I decided to take the test As you guys know from my channel if you guys have been following me I'm a Chinese Adoptee and I decided to the test because i as an adoptee I just don't know anything about my ancestry about my possible health or traits or anything so really for me a DNA test was something, an insight to effectivley who I am I guess an insight to where I come from and what my parents might have been like and things it was really a desire to know one's origins and I've always been told you don't look Chinese so there's always been that kind of question the back of my mind even though I've always said that I'm Chinese I've never said otherwise, I decided to look online and have a good different companies that do tests i decided to go with 23andme, which is an american company and the reason why decided to go for 23andMe is that I felt that they had a really detailed ancestry composition, they looked really user friendly and they have a detailed health composition as well also from 23andMe you can use the results of that and download the raw data and i'm upload it to different websites the process of getting results , so first of all you have to go on the website and buy the kit, the kit is not cheap guys I will not lie to you i bought it was around £125 I think that is something you have to really consider when you buy a DNA test, it isn't a cheap thing and I think many people say "Why do you need a kit to tell you that you're asian?" you probably know that I mean granted, I was figured that anyway but it wasn't it wasn't really that for me, I think it for me personally whatever results were going to be I said to myself i'm not gonna be disappointed because at least then I'll know because I come from a position where I don't know anything knowing something at all just be great and I always said to myself I'm not asian, if I'm not Chinese I'm not going to be disappointed because at least I know, at least I have that information I did send the kit off in July as we notice now it is October the reason for this delay is because they lost my first shipment and it about four weeks to discover that lost it so I start again and I didn't get another one until august, so I sent it off in about September, so it is about about 4-6 weeks , so according to the 23andMe and the speculative results which there are 50% sure that this is what my DNA is is I'm majority Chinese, 90% Chinese 7.5 % Korean 0.3% Japanese and a little bit less mongolian, they also have a list of Health and traits results luckily I was really glad to see that I didn't in didn't have any inherited conditions or I was interested to find out that it said that I most likely Lactose Intolerant as we know with genes that you can possess genes obviously it depends environment factors and things which genes get turned on and off so obviously even though I may posess these genes these may not exactly apply to my life also on 23andMe there are these the option of finding your relatives while the most interesting thing about being part korean was in fact that most of my relatives were other Korean adoptees which is interesting because i'm a Chinese adoptee but most of my close relatives which was 3rd to 6th cousins or Korean adoptees, I didn't find anything obviously any kind of close relatives but I didn't expect to, I decided to upload my results to WeGene WeGene is a chinese company which specifically deals with asian origins and others but it's has a much larger database than 23andMe one of the main reasons I wanted to go with 23andMe actually was that I was really keen to upload it on WeGene it came back with only 79% Chinese I really think that between this variation I'm somewhere between 60 to 90 % Chinese that the other half, it said was entirely Korean so I am 1/5 Korean Korean now the reason for this variation within these results is exactly clear but I can say that WeGene has a much larger database for asian ethnicity and asian origins so in some ways I feel like I'm more inclined to say that this might be more accurate, but it is undeniable that both tests confirmed that i'm at least part Korean which was kind of a pretty big surprise for me I never really thought about it What was interesting as well about WeGene was the fact that it said that I was Northern Han which would explain the Mongolian as well and have tiny little bit She so it's pretty interesting now look into the history of how Chinese and Koreans cross over as well and I guess it's so now i'm going to look forward to looking into in the future, so with regards to how I feel about now being Chinese and Korean because i know that there's definitely a good chance that i am somewhere between 7% and a 1/5 Korean possibly even one of my grandparents or even just further back than that I could be Korean with regards about how I feel i'll be honest with you guys, not that different you know I think that's all thats going to change now is that when people asked me what ethnicity I am I'm gonna say Chinese and Korean, some people have asked me saying "Do you feel less Chinese now knowing that you're not full Chinese? " I don't personally because i know i'm still between 60-90% Chinese, i'm still Chinese just because I'm now Korean doesn't mean that I'm not trying anymore, I can be both, I think it's always i'm now probably use this opportunity to discover more about my Korean side you know, it's going to be a great opportunity even more food travel places and maybe learn the language which sounds pretty cool and yes it's pretty cool and you know I guess in the end of the day now I kind of feel however else feels that now I know, it's just a fact it's not something that agonise over anymore, I used to think about it about it for ages, and now that quest is over and I guess that's been fulfilled and now that i have I guess, I just I feel ok I don't feel sad about it anymore I don't feel that I'd really like to know anymore, because now I know if you have any questions for me or any questions about DNA results feel free to drop in the comments below don't forget to Like subscribe this video and I don't know if guys know but i have snapchat now don't forget to add me on snapchat which is NaoImHere and also don't forget to check out my interview which I did recently with "Our Chinese stories" about being a Chinese Adoptee In the United kingdom okay thanks so much for watching this video guys i hope to see you soon and I guess it's 안녕히 가세요. Anyoung hee gaseyo from me guys need to work in that Korean but yeah peace out. bamboo sheets

I highly recommend it. – I told you recently that I had just gotten sober off of smoking meth, yeah I was doing that for about two years. I did try heroin, one, one time, I didn't like it, and thank god for that, um. – Why did you think you needed that? – I was really sad that mom passed away, and it felt like it was the only thing I could do to keep my mind off of losing her. So I love you, thank you for keeping me alive, but that's that. – Okay, why did you choose to adopt? – I never was one of those people who felt like I needed to have a biological child. But then as soon as I met you and you came toddling up with your little glasses I knew that you were my daughter. – Your mom wanted to have kids, and um. – Didn't you have a vasectomy? – and I had a vas– like a reverse? – Yeah I had a vasectomy and I had it reversed, well very difficult to get pregnant with that consideration, so we wind up going, you know what's our choices, adoptions.
– You adopting me, kind of got thrown on you. – No it was never thrown on me trust me I was fighting for you. – Don't you dare start crying yet. – I was just so happy to get you. – Oh my crybaby (laughs), play a new game, take a shot every time you cry. (both laughing) – What's something you wish I had done differently, around your adoption? – You and mom both handled it better than I could have ever hoped for.
I've always known that I was wanted, I think it was perfect just the way you did it. – You tried to be my friend too much, so when I got older and you tried to be a parent it was really hard for me to look at you like that. – I have no other kids, just her. – Her one and only. – I mean I don't want, I never wanted my cousin to pass away to get her. – But you did, and I'm here. Don't worry I'm happy to be with you. – No 'cause I don't think you really understand that I wanted you, so bad. – I never doubted that you wanted me, but now I know, I know and I appreciate it, I love you, I do.
– Do you send nude images to the people you're dating? – Oh my god. – You don't have to answer it, I know that you do. (laughing) – Let me just drink. – Wait I already answered it for you, no this is fun, shit if I looked like you I'd be naked right now. – Oh my god. (laughing) – Here we are, last one, do you wish you had been raised by your biological parents? – Fuck no, no, you've shown me so many things. Whether it be compassion for other people, or the genuine thirst for knowledge that you've had, or how many times you got up to help mom when she was sick. There are so many things, and I would never give them up, for any person even my biological parents. – You are my real mom, you raised me and they didn't, so I'm thankful for you. – Thanks, I'm thankful for you too. – Honestly, it breaks my heart to even think about not having my mom, so I don't even want to put myself in that scenario. I would do anything to be with her, but I would love for her to be here with us.
– The only thing I would never have wanted, was your father to follow. If I could get away with it I probably would've run him over. – Yeah so– (laughing) – I don't wanna cry, uh, I like you. – I like you very much – you da best. – You're my best friend, honestly, like seriously you're my best friend. – You're not my best friend (laughing) – So fucking rude. – Remember what I used to tell you? – Yeah okay you're famous saying, I don't like you but I love you. Well I like you and I love you, asshole.
(both laughing) – That was good. – Yeah it wasn't bad – Was that fun? – Yeah it wasn't nearly scary as I thought it was gonna be. – I'm glad you did it. – I know (laughs). – I think it was good, it was a lot more eye opening than I thought 'cause I thought we were really open with each other, but then realizing that there are a few questions that I never thought to ask, or like there are a few questions that I never wanted to fucking ask. But, but I like to know more about you, and I'm glad that we did this. – Absolutely. (laughing) .
Man: MY ADOPTION DAY WAS APRIL 20, AND IT WAS A WEEK BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY, AND I TURNED 18. Man #2: I WAS 17 YEARS OLD WHEN I GOT ADOPTED. Man #3: I WAS 18 WHEN I GOT ADOPTED. Man #2: SO, I CALLED MY MOM — AT THE TIME, MY FRIEND'S MOM — AND I TOLD HER, "HEY, MS. JULIE, YOU KNOW, I'M IN A SITUATION RIGHT NOW, AND, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY, I DON'T HAVE A HOME TO GO TO. I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN NEXT." IT TOOK SOME TIME. SHE THOUGHT ABOUT IT FOR A FEW SECONDS. AND SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE WOULD — YOU KNOW, SHE WOULD DO WHAT SHE HAS TO DO. SHE WOULD COME AND VISIT ME, AND, YOU KNOW, HER SMILE WOULD JUST LIGHTEN UP MY DAY. Man #1: I MET THEM THROUGH AN ADOPTION PARTY. I ACTUALLY DIDN'T KNOW, BUT — I HADN'T HEARD ABOUT A FAMILY GOING TO BE THERE TO SEE ME. I HAD SOME VISITS WITH THEM AFTER, SOME DATES WITH THEM, GOING OUT TO DINNER, STAYING OVERNIGHT. AND IT WAS GREAT JUST BEING ABLE TO CONNECT WITH THEM RIGHT BEFORE THE ADOPTION SO THAT I COULD KNOW THAT IT WOULD BE A PERFECT FIT.
MY ADOPTION DAY WAS FILLED WITH A LOT OF JOY. Man #3: I MET MY FAMILY IN WEDNESDAY'S CHILD. THE ONLY THING THAT I REMEMBER IS MY MOM CRYING WHEN THE JUDGE SIGNED THE PAPER. SHE WAS EXCITED. SHE… BECAUSE WHEN THE JUDGE SIGNED THE PAPER SHE INSTANTLY STARTED CRYING. I HAD A HOME TO GO TO, AND I HAD A FAMILY THAT CARED FOR ME AND SUPPORTED ME, ANYTHING THAT I DO IN LIFE. Man #1: A COUPLE OF TIMES, I HAVE BEEN PLACED IN FAMILIES, AND IT UNFORTUNATELY DIDN'T WORK OUT FOR THE REASON THAT IT DID, BUT EACH AND EVERY HOUSE THAT I'VE BEEN IN HAS MOLDED ME TO THE PERSON I AM TODAY, AND I DON'T REGRET THINGS HAPPENING THE WAY THEY DID. Man #2: IT'S JUST, WHEN I LOOK BACK ON EVERYTHING THAT I'VE GONE THROUGH AND I SEE EVERYTHING I LONGED FOR IN THE FAMILY — INSIDE OF MY FAMILY THAT I HAVE NOW. Man #3: I DON'T TELL THEM OFTEN THAT I LOVE THEM, BUT I SHOW THEM HOW I LOVE THEM. Man #1: I MEAN, TODAY, I DON'T NEED TO SAY A WORD ABOUT NOT HAVING A FAMILY, 'CAUSE I KNOW I HAVE ONE.
ONCE I GO OFF TO COLLEGE, I'LL HAVE A PLACE TO COME BACK HOME TO. BUT IT'S MUCH MORE THAN JUST THAT. IT'S BEING ABLE TO BE ASSURED THAT IF I'M EVER IN ANY TROUBLE, I HAVE SOMEONE TO CALL. Man #3: A WORD CAN NEVER DESCRIBE THAT. IT'S THE FEELING OF LOVE, OF BASICALLY IF I GO, LIKE, TO A UNIVERSITY, I KNOW THAT I HAVE A PLACE AT HOME TO BE SAFE AND BE LOVED. Man #2: I'VE LONGED FOR CONSISTENCY.
I'VE JUST LONGED TO BE LOVED. I'VE LONGED TO BE, YOU KNOW, HELD. I'VE LONGED TO BE IN A HOME. AND WHEN ADOPTION WAS FINALIZED, YOU KNOW, I JUST CRIED, BECAUSE I JUST THOUGHT THAT EVERYTHING I WANTED, I SEE IN THIS LADY. Man #3: IT'S TEAMWORK. SO BASICALLY, WE SUPPORT EACH OTHER THROUGH EVERYTHING. Man #2: IT'S GONE FROM NIGHT TO DAY IN A SPAN OF, YOU KNOW, I GUESS, TWO, THREE, SIX YEARS. Man #3: I LOVE MY PARENTS. I REALLY DO. EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT. THE HOLIDAY IS DIFFERENT. Man #2: IN MY HOME, WE HAVE A PRETTY DIFFERENT HOLIDAY EXPERIENCE, AND IT'S ONE THAT I'LL SHARE WITH MY KIDS. MY MOM, SHE DOES THIS THING WHERE, EVERY CHRISTMAS, SHE BUYS US PAJAMAS, AND IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW OLD WE GET. WE STILL GET THE PAJAMAS.
AND MY FIRST HOLIDAY — CHRISTMAS, ACTUALLY — SHE BOUGHT MY BROTHER AND I A PAIR OF PAJAMAS, AND, OF COURSE, THEY WERE DIFFERENT COLORS. AND, YOU KNOW, YOU WOULD THINK THAT THE OLDER YOU GET, YOU KNOW, YOU WOULD KIND OF GET TIRED OF PAJAMAS, BUT EVEN AT THE AGE OF 22, I STILL WANT THOSE PAJAMAS. Man #1: MOVE-IN DAY WAS ACTUALLY CHRISTMAS EVE. SO CHRISTMAS WAS THE NEXT DAY. AND I REMEMBER JUST GOING DOWNSTAIRS AND SEEING ALL THE RELATIVES AND SEEING HOW DIFFERENT — AT THAT MOMENT, I KNEW IT WAS DIFFERENT. THE FAMILY DYNAMICS WERE DIFFERENT, BECAUSE IN OUR HOUSEHOLD, WE DON'T WRAP GIFTS. THEY'RE ALREADY OUT. Man #2: HOLIDAYS ARE JUST SO FUN, HAVING A FAMILY THERE.
IT'S DIFFERENT THAN SPENDING — YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE IF I HAD TO SPEND THOSE HOLIDAYS ALONE. IT'S NOT EVEN ABOUT THE HOLIDAY. EVERY DAY IS A HOLIDAY, HONESTLY, WHEN I GET THE CHANCE TO BE WITH MY FAMILY. Man #3: SOCIAL WORKERS HAVE A BIG IMPACT ON EVERYBODY. Man #1: THE SOCIAL WORKER IS THERE TO FIND YOU A HOME, AND YOU'RE THERE TO PUT YOUR 2 CENTS SO THAT YOU CAN MAKE SURE THE PLACEMENT IS THE RIGHT PLACEMENT. Man #2: BE AS CONSISTENT, YOU KNOW, SUPPORTIVE, ENCOURAGING. US KIDS, YOU KNOW, TEENAGERS, WE HAVE THE TENDENCY TO BASICALLY LIVE OFF OF THE SOCIAL WORKERS' DESIRE AND THRIVES IN ENCOURAGEMENT AND SMILES. Man #1: IT'S GONNA MAKE THEM FEEL LIKE THEY'RE WORTH SOMETHING, AND THEN IT'S GONNA MAKE THEM FEEL LIKE THEY'RE ON TOP OF THE WORLD. Man #2: BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE JUST NEED SUPPORT.
AND, YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, SOCIAL WORKERS ARE THE CLOSEST THING TO THE KIDS. Man #1: I BELIEVE THE SOCIAL WORKERS PLAY A BIG ROLE IN THE EFFORT THAT THE CHILD OR KID HAS SO THAT THEY CAN KEEP THEIR GOAL OF ADOPTION OR WHATEVER GOAL THEY HAVE STRONG. Man #2: YOU ALWAYS GIVE US HOPE THAT THERE'S SOMEONE OUT THERE THAT WILL BE WILLING TO LOVE US. Man #3: SO, BASICALLY, SOCIAL WORKERS ARE THE BOMB. .

what's this 18 years old when she put her newborn daughter up for adoption and she has spent the last few decades searching for her with no luck that is until her daughter who had no idea who her birth mother was used one of those at home DNA testing kits in moments they're gonna meet each other for the first time right here but first their story watching I was 18 when I had her I loved her from the very start and I would always have loved her what I wouldn't been able to give her anything else but love and you can't do that to a baby how baby needs more than love I've always known that I was about to the only information that I had was that my mom's a twin I thought about her a lot her birthday Christmas Mother's Day wondering where she was and how she was doing and if she looked like me I always had this if but I always knew I did the right thing I had a great time a great family great the best friends we traveled every year we camped every year so that a good life I searched for her for 26 years I just kind of went I was adopted I probably wasn't wanted at that time and I think I just went with that that that's what it was and why would she be looking for me the adoption records were sealed so everything always came to a dead end I was raised completely Italian and polish and I really wanted to know was I really Italian and polish so I asked my husband and I said will you please you kept me a DNA test for Christmas I said I might ask it was a close relative they said that we likely shared the same grandparents so I connected to the one cousin said is there any chance that you have an aunt that is a twin and so that he sent me back a message he's like I have an aunt who is a twin and she gave up a child for adoption in the late 1970s he's like when's your birthday and so then I said I'm back June 12 1977 and immediately sends me back a message my aunt gave up a baby June 12 Oh and Roseann fuller joins us now Roseann thank you so much for being here so you did you know that you were adopted growing up I've always known I was adopted okay your parents were open about that yes they were and what age were you when you decided to consider finding your birth mom it was I thought about it more as I got older probably in my teens and progressively as I had gotten older but my initial desire to do the DNA test wasn't to find my birth mother it was figure out the Italian are you really silly ancestry yes okay and when you did look into like could I find my birth mom is even possible did you get anywhere no no because through the Catholic Charities it was completely sealed so there wasn't any information to be had when they say sealed it C it's C like you're not gonna get it it doesn't if the birth mother and birth father don't want you to have it so you decide to do the DNA test figure out whether you really are Sicilian and you thought the big shock might be you're not Sicilian I thought that would be the big shock yeah but there was something else on that 23andme result sheet you got that said what it links you with all different DNA relatives and on that one of the DNA relatives was someone they said would be my first cousin and likely that we shared the same set of grandparents so when you call this guy and you exchange the information about do you have an aunt that's a twin and did and he's like yes and she gave up a baby on how long did the whole thing take between let me see my results and oh my god I found my birth mother we started messaging back and forth probably Friday afternoon and by Saturday afternoon mystery solved we know Wow how does your mom feel about the whole so that sometimes it's hard on the mom it's I think it's been hard on my mom yeah but it should it be I mean it's you know no my mom is my mom she will always be my mom yeah no matter what you know to know to know who your birth mom was I think I wanted to know like health information and you know you like as soon as you look at yourself you see families and you say this person looks like this person and and I had no there was no backdrop there was no frame of reference for me and so I was kind of just curious about that so you figure out who it is and you and she have spoken on the phone we've spoken on the phone we've seen pictures we've seen each other we're Facebook friends and you haven't met in person yet until today so why is that why did you choose I think I've been a little slow on it I think everything that like Kathy has told me I've had to process it and I had to like think about it and so I think I've just been like testing the waters and going kind of slow with that sitting here now I mean I'm doing an interview you're sitting there thinking in a minute I'm gonna meet the woman who gave birth to me and what will you be looking for you know like if it's one thing to see pictures it's another to be staring face-to-face with this genetic link I think just a connection like do we look the same do we have the same mannerisms yes yes do it yes well I have to tell you that Kathy has told us she is so excited and nervous for this she has not been able to sleep a wink in days she's here and when we come back the moment we have all been waiting for Roseanne we'll meet a birther a happy face to face we're back now with Roseanne fuller she recently found her birth mother who gave her up for adoption 40 years ago that woman's name is Kathy Smith and she's on the other side of this wall the two have spoken to each other on the phone but they have never met in person until now are you ready Roseanne and Kathy why don't you two walk forward and say hello to each other you could just take a seat right there how you feeling nervous oh it's scary right it yeah it's gotta be how are you feeling now I'm okay yeah right I was just saying during the break for us this is this is great TV and for you this is something that's far more emotional and involved Kathy take us back to that you know 40 years ago you were just 18 years old and and why did you decide to give her a rose Anna um I could only give her love my family was behind me I have a really close family and from the time I knew I was pregnant I wanted her to have a family a mom and a dad that would be able to love her more than I could love her mm-hmm and just as much and there was no dad in the picture in in your case and and you did have a secret that you had to reveal to Rosanna when you guys spoke on the phone about the night she was conceived yeah which was what his date rape and he took off when he realized you were pregnant yeah how is that Roseanne when it when you learned that I can only imagine that really bothered me yeah that really bothered me I guess I always think you know everyone should be having a good time when kids are made and that really bothered me a lot yeah the you managed to get through him and a lot of women would have made a different choice but you decided to have the baby and there was a moment in the hospital first she didn't think he wanted to see her no and then you changed your mind can you tell us about that in the hospital the last day I was in the hospital I had to hold her I just there was me and I carried her for nine months and there was something that told me I had to I had to hold her so it was feeding time and they brought her in a knife at her and it was time to give her back and as soon as I gave him back to the nurse she started crying like it was like I'll ask goodbye but you gave her over anyway yeah and I know all these years you've thought about her and you had no idea you had no idea that you guys were living 20 minutes away from each other no no no I mean so it's possible you passed each other in the grocery store or on the street we could have absolutely yeah and had no it you could have been like ma'am I was in first in line there right and I mean in a way it's fortuitous that you took that test when you did because you separately unbeknownst to you of course we're going through a medical issue that can be genetic that you ultimately told Roseann about what what is it let's cut the factor 5 deficiency that causes blood clots and there's something that if you have this it's it's helpful to know about it in advance because I had a double pulmonary embolism and so she told you about this and it is that something you can test for to see either yes I've already have itas been waiting to hear back on the results I think God you did it right absolutely that's that's so imperative to know that information can I ask you as a as a mom gave up her baby for adoption what did you worry what was your greatest worry over over the 40 years that she had a good life I wasn't I was my biggest fear is that she my biggest fear is I wanted her to have a good life one that I couldn't give her Roseann how has your life been it's been a great life and you have a cousin you're having Mary because my parents are great I have the best friends we've been friends forever I have a great life thank you both for doing this thank you for sharing your story with us and all the best to you both thank you hello today

My name is Angela Tucker. Being adopted and raised by white parents created a unique lens through which I view the world shape my identity, and think about the word family.

Welcome back guys and this video is inspired by my video for my friend alex Brenna, if you want to check out alex's video please do i'm going to put the picture in the video in the link there as well and I've decided to try out this Spoken word prose, poetry thing let me know what you think and if you enjoy it give it a thumbs up Dear Birth Parents, I've been thinking for all my life over the questions and thoughts that I have and even though my questions are as long as their infinite so it's the time lost between us, I know none of this would make sense to you now, there were no words to bridge the gap that our languages face, no actions to bring by the past no thoughts that can be written I am a stranger to you and your ways we're separated by oceans mountains and skies even though I carry your DNA and you have lived through my whole life as your survivor I would fool myself if I said it felt like you never really left instead it feels like a carry the makings of strangers, who crafted by face from their own fantasize that they gave me that grandma's nose let me see them dad's eyes but none of these may true anyway and I wouldn't recognize them as they're all strangers now who I am is a body caught between two lands and unable to meet the ties a forgotten girl who was left before she was found but she was somebody's baby before she was an orphan, you are the only people that I am related to and yet i will never meet you or anyone i am half of both of you whether you meant for this or not, this is all I have to remember you by this body, this ship that carries me through my life, that makes people around me ask questions of why I speak good English and where I really come from and why I look different for the rest of my family that sets me apart from my friends from society is a constant reminder of who I am and where I come from and the constant notion that I don't belong.
As I grow old I'll grow old with what you gave me and i'll see your faces in the mirror as I wither and age but I won't recognize it any day, I have so much to tell you about my life what I've done who I've become, in the end I can't communicate my loss and sadness to you as you'll never know, although I can't imagine the situation you're in and why you had to make this decision a month after I was born, I don't blame you for what happened I want to but I just can't because I don't know you, but I'm angry about the system for putting it's people at risk leaving so many babies unwanted, a system devised to keep the population down, but looking at all the many broken hearts and forgotten children orphanages, it hardly feels like success, when people talk about loss they mean a person that presence or feeling and I have lost all of those things but most of all I've lost myself my identity my culture and even my name I am a leaf to the winds of change, I am caught in the irrevocability of time a victim to the system and I see so many like me whose lives are filled with questions and just blank spaces and the closest thing not go to the answers themselves they are throwing questions as if there were stones a heavy weight to carry and when sent into the vast ocean of answers just buried beneath the water never to be seen again and they are sad because they'll never know any of this this poem and this fantasy is the closest thing now get to knowing and this haunts them until the very end, I don't think anyone can really understand that what it's like to grow up apart from yourself and your culture and your kin, however I have to move on I carry a pain that is inseparable from Who I am my pain is my struggle and my strife it is my weakness and my will survive I will live with it without falling to pieces and this is my promise is to myself I will make something from this there will be beauty and happiness from the ashes and fires that cinder my past and even though we may never meet I'm glad to be your daughter thank you so much for watching guys and I hope you enjoy this video if you did you get like share comment subscribe us usual stuff and hopefully see you in my next video, peace out !
I am asking for your help to help me fulfill a promise I made one week ago today I told two young brothers I will do my very best to help them get adopted together those were my words back in November of last year two brothers and separate foster homes desperate to live together they captured my heart as part of a Wednesday's child report which is why I wanted so much for you to see what happened this week the brothers were seven and ten years old when I met them last October and one tray and kealan had been in child protective custody for three and a half years almost the entire time they had lived in separate foster homes the boys initially need a time apart to heal from their trauma but told me how much they longed to be together one day you guys are just about all each other has anymore right so you want to make sure you're women this kind of emotion seeped out of both tray and kealan every time they saw each other it was only once a month and they never wanted to let go if you could have any wish come true right now what would that wish be them we're gonna do our very very best to make sure that happens one month later someone stepped up he saw our story I was crying mostly because they just pulled at my heartstrings and I felt an instant connection with the boys and I said I've got to figure out how to get these boys in my home and learn more about them we're gonna go in this store this is where we're gonna have our pictures named now 8 and 11 Trey and kealan had been living with Robert Beck ever since but nothing formal that part took time no sir the brothers have no idea that time is now hi guys remember me and guess what today is Adoption Day seven months later the anguish of being a part is over and these two brothers get to grow up together just like that good job guys Trey and Kailyn are chosen and loved by a father older brother and a village of helpers if I adopted and I felt good tell me what happened today okay I'm talking how does that feel good are you happy yes thank you it's easy to see over the last several months the brothers have gone from surviving to thriving just being able to give them a forever home and know that they're forever – is just super special what do they mean to you I love them with all my heart all three of them what happens now in your life I go home you

Eugene attorney Gwendolyn Griffith has joined the tax practice group of Tonkon Torp LLP in Portland. Her practice is focused on advising clients of closely held businesses in matters of taxation, succession and estate planning, and the formation, reorganization, purchase or sale of businesses. She also advises many Oregon nonprofits as general counsel.
Griffith's nearly 30-year career includes both practicing and teaching law. Before joining Tonkon Torp, she was a partner for nine years at Speer Hoyt PC in Eugene. For the past 18 months she also has served as Executive Director of the Oregon Facilities Authority, a state agency responsible for facilitating the issuance of tax exempt bonds for nonprofit organizations. "Affiliating with Tonkon Torp's tax practice offers me the opportunity at this stage of my career to work with an outstanding group of attorneys whose practices complement my own," she said. "I'm delighted to be part of this dynamic firm."
Griffith earned her law degree in 1981 from Stanford University, where she was editor-in-chief of the Stanford Journal of International Law. She holds a B.A. in economics, with highest distinction, from Rollins College, Winter Park, Florida.
She began her legal career in Florence, Italy on a one-year Ford Foundation Project on Comparative Law. Following her return to the U.S., Griffith joined the Dallas, Texas firm of Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld and taught international tax law as an adjunct professor at Southern Methodist University. From 1986 to 1999, she taught law at Florida State University, University of Richmond and Willamette University. While managing her Eugene law practice, she also was a visiting professor at the University of Oregon School of Law.
"Gwen has impeccable credentials and tremendous knowledge and experience in all types of tax law," said Michael M. Morgan, chairman of Tonkon Torp's managing board. "She is a fantastic addition to our tax practice group."

Ex-Seattle 'enforcer' to be D.C. archbishop
Note: This column has been altered. The date on which seven new Catholic priests in the Archdiocese of Seattle would be ordained was given incorrectly.
If the Vatican were looking for a place to get the flavor of Catholicism in America, a good observation point would have been Monday's baccalaureate Mass for Seattle Prep's Class of 2006.
The sanctuary at St. Joseph's was packed, unlike great cathedrals in post-Christian Europe.
A prolonged ovation greeted the person that the graduating class picked to give a "Reflection." A popular dean of students, Jim Flies was "reassigned" last winter, prompting a brief walkout and a protest petition signed by 400 students.
Flies gave a succinct, eloquent talk.
The congregation was stirred again hearing an emotional thank-you letter from a classmate's mother. Mother and son face deportation. The Class of '06 has collected money to pay their legal bills.
The grads left an unmistakable impression. Highly motivated and inspired by faith, this is not a crew from which to demand the "3 D's": discipline, docility and dogma.
Two ceremonies in June, one in each Washington, prompt a discussion of the recent history of Catholicism in our "unchurched" corner of America.
At 10 a.m. Saturday in St. James Cathedral, seven priests will be ordained -- the largest group of new priests seen in the Archdiocese of Seattle in 35 years.
On June 22, Donald Wuerl will be installed as archbishop of Washington, D.C., a high-profile position that usually brings a cardinal's red hat.
Wuerl was sent to Seattle 20 years ago and assigned by the Vatican to take over "problem areas" such as sexuality and marriage from Archbishop Raymond Hunthausen.
The Vatican investigated Hunthausen after a gay-lesbian Catholic group was allowed to celebrate a Mass in St. James Cathedral. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, oversaw the Seattle inquiry. He is now Pope Benedict XVI.
The arrival of Wuerl led to revolts of both clergy and laity, described by writer Kenneth Briggs in his book "Holy Siege." The Vatican agreed to a face-saving deal. Hunthausen's authority was restored and Wuerl withdrawn.
Hunthausen "appeared to have gained even greater stature in the eyes of his flock as the result of the controversy," Briggs wrote. "Such was his high standing that the charges by Rome were largely sloughed off as nonsense or condemned as persecution.
"When Rome had struck its hardest blow by sending Bishop Wuerl to usurp some of the archbishop's authority, it had been a huge outcry from the archdiocese that had led the Vatican to negotiate a settlement."
What's happened since to the principals in this drama, and successors, reflects on a flock that will not behave like sheep.
At home in Helena, the Newman Center at Carroll College bears his name.
Father Ryan presides over a growing congregation in a church where a secular city goes to pray in times of trauma.
Ryan was briefly in the ecclesiastical doghouse last year for acknowledging that Ratzinger was not his first choice for pope.
Brunett has done heavy lifting. He is the Vatican's man on Catholic-Anglican dialogue at a time of strained relations over consecration of a gay Episcopal bishop. He has dealt with priest pedophilia charges under the scrutiny of a local media deeply suspicious of church motives.
Brunett has put it on the line for economic and social justice.
St. James hosted a "Service of Reconciliation" at St. James during the bitter 2000-01 Seattle newspaper strike. With Cardinal Roger Mahony of Los Angeles, Brunett had been a defender and advocate for immigrants seeking a better life in the United States.
Seen as a Vatican enforcer in Seattle, Wuerl has shown a different face in 18 years as bishop in his native Pittsburgh.
He took an early, tough line on removing priests accused of sexual abuse from parishes. He flew to Rome at one point to demand a rehearing when a church court ruled that he acted improperly against one priest.
The stand ruffled feathers. Under Pope John Paul II, Wuerl was passed over when openings came up in the powerful Boston and Philadelphia archdioceses.
Wuerl has been a diplomat at other points. Rep. Mike Doyle, D-Pa., recalled to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette being cornered by his bishop on the House's draconian immigration bill. "Do you really want to put us in jail for helping people?" Wuerl asked.
Wuerl has declined to deny the Eucharist to Catholic politicians with pro-choice views.
Wounds have healed from the mid-1980s struggle over authority in the Archdiocese of Seattle, and prelates appear wiser.
A spirited, involved laity helped make it happen.

5 out of 5 stars (based on 2 rated reviews)
We would also like to mention that we have loved living in Becquerel Court and we couldn't have had any better property managers or landlords. But we now take the next important steps in our lives and become homeowners.
Kind regards
Joe & Lindsay
Working with Unique Properties was not only a great experience on a professional level, it was also a joy.
Simon understood from the minute go what the building and our flat are about and what type of people would be interested.
Although we are now living abroad we have never felt removed from or out of touch with the process and neither did we feel the need to chase. When in the run up to exchange the process became challenging his calm collected manner, advice and counsel gave us the long breath we needed.
For us it was the 9th time we were buying or selling a flat and Simon has genuinely changed our view of what an estate agent is like. His dedication was beyond the call of duty, our home was his baby as much as it used to be ours His no-bullshit and no-nonsense attitude in combination with real advice and honesty are not only very refreshing, but also something you can depend on. We have recommended him to close friends who are equally enthusiastic as he sold their house in record time.
We feel very lucky to have had the chance to work with Simon and we would definitely do so again. A wonderful man to do business with
Stella & Steve Goodwin, Limehouse Cut, Bow. E3
Thank you, Simon, for all your help in a very difficult transaction. We could never have done it without you!
There are more problems ahead no doubt but - for now - we're celebrating!
Mike and Jessica
We sold our property through Unique Property Company and were delighted with the results. Having previously engaged a mainstream agent, we found that the sort of people they had showing the property just didn't have the vision and couldn't get there heads around our unusual space just off the Kings Road.
We decided to seek an alternative route and Instructed Unique. They found a buyer within a relatively short period and successfully sold the property in a sensible time frame. Simon took calls at times that other agents wouldn't, and kept in regular contact with us even though we were often out of the country in another time zone.
We'd have no hesitation is recommending Unique Property Company to anyone selling unusual property, especially if its the personal service that you require.
Peter Marlowe
Buying a new home is incredibly stressful mostly. All the things you hadn't realised, all the pernickety dealings with surveyors, mortgage companies, planners, agents and so on. But Simon Stone at Unique Property Company is a dream to deal with. Always calm, always positive, always available with information, solutions and reassurance. I hope never to move again in my life, but if I do we'll be using Unique Property Company for sure.
Five stars!
Lindsay Mackie
You wouldn't expect to develop a friendly relationship with the estate agents who are selling your property. Simon and Lewis, however, who run Unique Property are not only experienced estate agents but are people you can talk to as well. My property appealed to a niche market and took quite a time to sell. Simon and Lewis remained unfailingly patient and positive throughout the whole process and helped to steer my sale to a successful conclusion. I can certainly recommend Unique Property.
Unique property are a rare breed. They have assessed the market in such a way that sets them apart from the mainstream property agents: they understand the evolution of people's needs for tenants and landlords in both sales and lettings. They pursue real valuations instead of over inflated valuations. Unique and indispensable for a modern approach to property. JP Defaut
Having bought and sold property regularly over the last 25 years, I am pleased to say that Unique Property Company is - without question - the best estate agents that we have ever dealt with. Great communication, solid advice, persistent and patient are just some of the qualities we have seen from Simon Stone and his team. Would not hesitate to recommend them - if you need more info, please contact me.
Sold by Unique Property Company.
Unique Property and Simon Stone were key to the process of achieving the smooth sale of my property.
Organised and highly professional with a flair for promotion which resulted in a speedy and conclusive sale.
I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Hello, my name is Doctor Jeff Aberle and in
this video we are going to discuss the most common causes for headaches. And most of you
that have headaches that are going to be watching this really don't know where they're coming
from. You're probably thinking it's stress related. You've probably been checked out
for any oddities like cancer or tumors inside the brain. I mean sometimes those are very
sudden and acute onset types of headaches and sometimes they're slow onset. That's not
what I'm going to be talking about here. I'm just going to be talking about the typical
headache and the reasons for it and how to go about solving it. So here I have a 3d model
and we're going to use this to discuss the headache type cycle that people have. And
some people can get headaches behind the eyes, around the eyes, in the temples, sometimes
on the side of the head, sometimes over the top of the head and all the way down to the
back. So they start down around here and come up around the head into the eyes. So all these
different types of headaches, believe it or not, are somewhat related. And they are caused,
often times, from a thing called a cervicogenic headache. Now cervicogenic just means coming
from the neck. And there's multiple reasons for this again. Let's look quickly in terms
of structure. We can't get into a lot of details because there's just a lot of animations that
would have to be made to get into a ton of the details. But when it comes to the neck
musculature it will all relate to some of the deep muscles that we'll show. So here
I'm going to take away the Trapezius. And down in here some of these people get there
headaches through these muscles. This is the Splenius Capitus muscle. Both sides here.
I thought you could see the label, but you can't. And, then we take away the Splenius
Capitus muscles and we've got these muscles and they're called Semispinalis Capitus muscles.
So we'll take away those again because headaches can come from these where these muscles tighten
up. And we're going to hide those. Hide That. Now we get into some of the deeper muscles
of the neck. And if you have headaches and you've stuck your finger up here and pushed
on these muscles. Not this one per say. I'll remove that one. But some of these smaller
ones. You can feel these are very tight and contracted. And when you push on it, it either
relieves your headache or it actually increases it. And if you massage that, it might increase
your headache while you're massaging it, but then it relieves it a little bit afterwards.
So why is that the case? Well if these muscles are contracted in the neck, they can cause
a lot of distortions up here. And they can also trigger this, thing called, um. This
concept where you get kind of like an ice cream headache concept. Where the pain fibers
from these muscles, as they're going into the brainstem, the spinal cord. They can actually
kind of like cross talk with the Trigeminal nucleus. And that concept will actually give
you headache pain along the face. The eyes usually and up into the forehead and down
through here. And that can happen very easily from that Trigeminal nerve/nucleus influence.
And that's from pain fibers being stimulated through here. And you don't necessarily feel
the pain here, that's the odd thing. I'm not really describing it perfectly. It's actually
called nociception. But it's the pain fibers, the nociceptors, which detect injury are actually
being fired and on their way up to the brain, they cross talk with the nucleus that handles
and is responsible for facial pain. And that's how you can get facial pain sometimes from
these spots right through here. That's a very common reason. The other thing that can happen
is you can get distortion in the meningeal tube that's deep in the spinal cord here.
And we're not going to go into that. I think it shows it here somewhat. The lighting just
isn't right. You can see the spinal cord in there, ok that yellow thing. And that yellow
thing has around it a tube like structure called the meninges. And that, if that thing
gets twisted and distorted in such a way, that too can give you intense headaches. And
until you get those meninges released with some specific chiropractic adjustments through
the Advanced BioStructural Correction technique, you're not going to relieve that tension.
And then the headaches will just come back and come back and come back. And then they'll
never seem to go away except temporarily. So you have to get at the root of the cause.
So that explains some of the mechanical things and your posture and everything is all related
to this. You have somebody with a very forward head posture, there's no way this is ever
going to go away on them in a permanent manner. You have to change the structure and change
the posture. Because what happens to a lot of people is their head is so far forward
that this neck instead of going at a nice curve like this. Notice how it's curved coming
up. You'll see it back here. Their head is far forward and their neck is actually straight
or reversed going this direction. And all these muscles up here have to contract just
to hold the head level with the horizon. So if you can picture this whole vertebra right
here being shoved forward a couple inches. This head would go down and be looking down.
But you then use these muscles back here to contract and tilt the head upwards so you
can still look straight. That keeps these muscles tight and contracted and there's no
way they can't contract, otherwise you'd be looking down at the ground all the time. And
you tend to want to look out into the horizon. It's just how humans are. So that is a big
reason why we get the headaches. The mechanical reasons like I said can be handled with Advanced
BioStructural Correction. The nutritional reason for these headaches are very exciting
actually. You can actually have. I'm not going to get into too much detail on this. But you
can have a nutritional deficiency which causes these muscles right through here to tighten
up. And chiropractors will go in and they'll feel the muscles right around this C2 and
just locked up and tight as can be. And they go ahead and adjust this area and it gives
you relief for a few hours and it tightens right back up again because the nutritional
reason has never been addressed. And boom, you're back to hurting again. Another nutritional
deficiency can cause these muscles to tighten up. And that's kind of a bizarre one. You'd
never think that. But when they tighten up due to this nutritional deficiency, that too
will give you headaches. Now what's interesting about this one down here is if these ones
here that prevent this vertebra C2 from moving real well, you'll also have some sort of dizziness
or vertigo. Sometimes it's just positional. And this doesn't happen with everybody. But
if they do have this where they bend over and they get up and they feel a little dizzy
consistently, then they probably have this nutritional deficiency that's causing this
to stay contracted. And you need to address that. And I have the technology in my office,
I have the training to handle those nutritional deficiencies. So you deal with all these little
tiny muscles here with nutritional deficiency. You deal with these small muscles here with
nutritional deficiency. And then mechanically you've got to address this. Because if these
have been tight for a long time, you've got to address the mechanics of the problem. And
deal with all the postural problems that have happened in the entire body over the many
years you've had problems. And that's how you go about solving the headaches. And it's
usually fairly quick and fairly easy to get rid of even chronic headache problems that
people have had for many years. Now only occasionally is it challenging, but in case you might consider
yourself challenging but it's probably a very simple case. And just cause you've had it
a long time doesn't make it challenging. It just means that nobody has found the right
reason for you yet. And so you come into the office and I find out what's going on here,
get it handled, and then your headaches go away. And then you figure out how to prevent
it and how to solve the problem so you don't have to deal with headaches on a regular basis
if at all. I can't remember the last time I had a headache. And that's how I got into
chiropractic was with headaches. So I hope that explains a few things. These problems
in the neck cause pain to come over the back of the head into the eyes, into the temples.
All this stuff. It's very straight forward to solve and I hope this educational video
was very helpful for you. If you have any questions, please call our office or check
out our website for more information. Thank you.

Tomato Time
by Zoë Abram
Tomato time is here again! Before we even harvested any tomatoes, we'd spent a lot of time with the plants. We trellis the tomatoes, wrapping twine around stakes placed every two plants and tightly binding the tomatoes to force them to grow upright. We also "sucker" the tomatoes, which means pruning the side-shoots that appear in the crotch between main stem and leaves. If you let the suckers grow, the new stem competes for nutrients with the original plants: you may see more fruit, but the plant will struggle to ripen them all. Suckering also allows for more air to circulate, which prevents disease. Suckering is especially important for indeterminate varieties of tomatoes that will grow bushier and too heavy for their trellises if left alone.
These regular tasks mean we spent much of spring and early summer watching and waiting for the first tomatoes to ripen. It's amazing how different the foliage of each variety looks before the different tomato colors and shapes are evident. Unlike many newer and hybrid varieties of tomatoes which were bred for thick skins and easy transport, heirloom tomatoes were bred for unique taste and appearance characteristics. I'm continually amazed by heirloom tomatoes once they ripen, by the taste differences and the gnarled brown cat-faces and the sheer diversity of appearance.
In the pick-ups, you'll notice some of these varieties appearing. This past week you may have seen some of the Cherokee Purple. They are a deep, dusky color, but they might have green shoulders even when ripe. We've also been picking the first Prudens Purple, a pinkish tomato and Goldie, which is yellowish orange and sometimes as big as the palm of my hand. We're also growing a Ukranian red slicing tomato called Cosmonaut Volkov. The seed catalogue describes them as a "perfect blend of sweet and tart" and I agree! There are a few more varieties to look forward to: we're just beginning to see ripe Green Zebra and Striped German!
Some varieties are doing better than others. We're seeing a lot of blossom-end rot on the more oblong, dense, San Marzano Paste tomatoes. Blossom-end rot happens when plants have trouble uptaking sufficient calcium from the soil and also transferring it through the plant. We're picking off these tomatoes early, hoping the plants will recover and produce fully ripened tomatoes unencumbered.
There's so much to say about these tomatoes. Everyone has their own opinion about taste and the perfect ripeness. Along with the heirlooms, we also grow some irresistible hybrids: for example, there's no better sweetness to me than a bright orange Sun Gold cherry tomato. We hope in your share you enjoy exploring the different tomatoes! Let us know what you find!

Yulia Ushakova, hockey player from Spartak Moscow, was immortalized in a photo of the club announcing her right ankle injury. The picture in question, however, portrayed the beautiful Yulia dressed only with a thong.
The Spartak Moscow hockey has slipped on a classic banana skin and has done it against one of its players: the beautiful Yulia Ushakova.
The athlete of the Russian club, in fact, reported an ankle injury with the company that thought well to communicate it through their social channels: pity that was posted a photo of Ushakova lying on a bedside down dressed only with a thong. Look at the shot around here.
Of course, this photo has been around the web becoming viral with Spartak Moscow that was immediately accused of sexism and they immediately sparked controversy.
In the famous photo in which she is lying on the doctor's bed, the beautiful hockey player shows her feet. Perhaps you do not know that on the Wikifeet website you can find a complete collection of beautiful photos of Yulia Ushakova's feet. Wikifeet, in fact, is the definitive celebrity feet website.
Kontinental Hockey League is an interconfederal ice hockey competition attended by professional clubs from Russia, Belarus, China, Finland, Kazakhstan, Latvia, and Slovakia. Established in 2008, it is the successor of the Russian Superliga.
It currently has 27 teams, divided into 2 conferences of 2 divisions each. At the end of the regular season, the best 16 teams in the general classification qualify for the playoffs; giving life to eighths, quarters, semi-finals and finals for the Gagarin Cup, on the NHL model. The Kontinental Hockey League is commonly regarded as the second hockey world championship behind the NHL.
Spartak Moscow is a team that plays in the Kontinental Hockey League where Yulia Ushakova plays.
Yulia then posted a photo on her Instragram profile to confirm the extent of her injury as in the photo her right ankle is visibly wrapped: "I took a good ankle strain, but now everything is in order and I can go back to work and prepare for the next matches. "The Spartak Moscow player, a club that played in the Kontinental Hockey League, also explained how she works for the TV of the club when she is not on the field.
There are several wikis dedicated to Yulia Ushakova. Before we have referred to Wikifeet but if you love her as we love her you should visit too Wikidata e on the Russian Wikipedia.
Yulia Ushakova is not popular just on Instagram, because she has a very visited page also on VK. VK is the most famous social network in the Eastern Europe.
Julia Ushakova's height is 177 – 5′ 9.5″; bust 85 – 33″; waist 59 – 23″; hips 89 – 35″; shoes 39 – 7.5; hair Blonde; eyes Blue. Her weight is 55 kg.
Yulia Uskahova is also very famous as a fitness champion. Her body is so tonic also because she has participated in many fitness contests. She is a two-time world champion in body fitness, Honoured Master of Sports.
Yulia Ushkova was born 22 June 1990 in Tyumen, Russia. From early childhood she went in for sports, she started with gymnastics. At the age of 14 she began to engage in body fitness. She made her debut at the all-Russian and international competitions in 2005: Ushakova won the silver among juniors in bodybuilding at this competition. In 2008, she left sport under the influence of fatigue, but in 2010 she returned.
She graduated from high school with an economic dissertation at the Tyumen State University in the department of journalism.
She was one of the torchbearers of the Summer Universiade 2013 from Tyumen.
Now, she, works as a personal trainer. On May 13, 2018 entered the list of "violators of the national security of Ukraine" on the website "Peacemaker" for "deliberate violation of the State border of Ukraine" for the purpose of entering the Crimea.
