Beginning with a couplet from Carmina Gadelica and with grace notes from the same source. I have a charm for the bruising a charm for the blackening a charm for cheats and impostors. I summon from the cold clear air from the bare branches of the trees from worms coiling under the ground – charm against cruel intent charm for neglect charm against wicked indifference: may it lie on the white backs of the breakers of the sea may it lie on the furthest reaches of the wind. A salve for those who would grudge against the poor a salve for those who would harry the innocent a salve for those who would murder children: may it lie in the stoniest stretches of the hills may it lie in the darkest shelving along the shore. A salve for those that would cram whatever life they have with possession – for the rage of owning without entitlement for the desperate murderous possession of things: may it lie on the cloud-banks that range across the sky may it lie on the face of Rannoch Moor in its remoteness. A charm against mystification by doctors a charm against deception by the self-appointed a charm against horrific insistence: from the breeze that stirs the last of the yellowing leaves from the slanting of the sun as it falls though the window. A salve against grasping a salve against preaching a salve against promises exacted by threat. Grace of form grace of voice grace of virtue grace of sea grace of land and air grace of music grace of dancing. A salve against the uselessness of envy a salve against denial of our own best nature a salve against bitter enmity and silence Grace for beauty grace of spirit grace of laughter grace of the fullness of life itself. A salve to bind us a salve to strengthen heart and happiness: may it lie in the star-blanket there to spread over us may it lie in the first light at the waking of day.

Browsing the obits, here's a favorite saying Dr. Sacks loved to quote, which perfectly encapsulates his view of medicine as treatment of the individual. It is from Sir William Osler: "Ask not what disease the person has, but rather what person the disease has." As in "... has in its grip." So true! **sigh** Lost another one, dammit.

It Is Time To Nominate – Ruggas.co.za 2018 Awards
It is that time of the year when we reward the stars of schoolboy rugby. As with the previous two years, we have made some changes to make the process even more credible and fair.
The Categories:
- Rugby Player of The Year - It is simple nominate and vote for the best schoolboy rugby player of 2018.
- Forward of the Year - Again nominate and vote for the best.
- Backline Player of the Year - Again nominate and vote for the best.
- Most Valuable Player of the Year - This category is to reward a player that is not necessarily the star of the team but if you take him out of the game he is sorely missed.
- Team of the Year - Again nominate and vote for the best.
- School of the Year - This category is not necessarily for the best performing school in the country but we aim to reward a school who is investing a lot in promoting rugby AND their results are significantly improving. It, however, does not exclude top rugby schools as the amount of work they have to put into rugby to remain at the top is also remarkable.
- Coach of the Year - Again nominate and vote for the best.
- Photographer of the Year - All photographers that contributed to Ruggas.co.za is eligible.
07/08/2018 - 25/08/2018: Nominations by the public to be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com with a short justification of the nominee and a photo attached. Only nominees with more than 100 nominations will be published on Ruggas.co.za.
28/08/2018 - The nominations received will be narrowed down to the top 10 by the "9 wise men" in a secret vote.
29/08/2018 - 13/09/2018 - Voting by the general public to determine the top 3 nominations online @ ruggas.co.za.
15/09/2018 - Vote by the "9 wise men" in a secret vote to determine the winner.
20/09/2018 - Announcement of the winners at the Awards Ceremony held at Stellenberg Hoërskool.
The 9 Wise Men:
This panel consists of respected members of the schoolboy rugby community and no myself will not be part of this panel as I am known to be biased towards a certain Afrikaanse Hoër Seunskool and Steve Hofmeyer's song "Maak alle Affies wenners" will be appropriate if I have any say in the process.
The panel consist of members of the media, parents and schoolboy rugby lovers who I do believe have the integrity and knowledge to ensure that the best will be awarded.
All the boys that allowed us the public to enjoy their performances on the rugby field are already winners. A boy giving his best in the u/15 H team is as important as the fortunate 30 boys selected for the 2018 u/18 international series. Myself and all involved in schoolboy rugby just want to say thank you for allowing us to watch, enjoy and celebrate.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada – The mother of the Las Vegas police officer killed in the tragic mass shooting earlier this month has died after suffering a heart attack hours after his funeral.
According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Sheryl Stiles was in town to lay her son Charleston Hartfield to rest when she had a heart attack while riding an escalator and fell down it, sustaining damaging brain injuries in the process. With most of her family in town for Hartfield's funeral, they made the tough decision to take her off life support two days later.
"I was sitting up in the room crying," her brother Lewis Stiles recalled hearing about the tragic news, according to KVVU. "We came to bury my nephew and then the next thing we know, I have to bury my sister."

When Your Restaurant Has A Leaking Roof: Controlling The Flow To Keep Your Business Running
If you own a business, then you understand the importance of keeping all maintenance up to date. The problem is that it can be hard to remember everything. While the roof of your building should be properly maintained to avoid leaks, there are times when this task is overlooked and the need for an emergency roof repair occurs. When your restaurant roof has a leak, this can cause you to have to shut down until the repair is made. You may have damage to your furnishings, and food you have stored in your kitchen can get ruined. If you have a leak in your commercial roof, this needs to be addressed right away before it has a huge impact on your business.
When You Have a Small Leak in Your Restaurant Roof
A small leak should be able to be repaired fairly quickly. If your restaurant is leaking in a back room, it may be possible to remain open while you wait for a roof repair. If your roof is flat, the leak may be caused by a puddle of water that has accumulated up on your roof. A professional roofing contractor will be able to identify the source of the leak and repair the problem accordingly.
If Your Roof Continues to Leak
When your roof continues to leak after a repair, you probably have a more extensive problem with your commercial roof. It could be time to resurface your roof or to replace your existing roof with a new one. If the roof is leaking in several places, it is likely that you will need a completely new roof to fix the problem. Water damage to your restaurant can keep you closed for weeks, causing you to lose business while you wait for the repairs and cleanup.
Problems with Water Damage
If you don't get a leaky roof fixed, you may end up with the smell of mold or mildew in your restaurant. The moisture in the air caused from consistent leaks will cause your restaurant to have a noticeable odor. In addition, your ceilings, walls, and furnishings can slowly get ruined if you don't take care of a leaky roof or the damage it causes right away.
To keep your business running smoothly, contact a commercial roofing contractor at a company like Specialty Commercial Contractors LLC if you notice a leak in your roof. Don't ignore even the smallest leaks, as they can turn into bigger problems if you don't fix them right away.

I have spent the last 8 or so hours gluing, cutting and sticking over 600 favours for a wedding that I have tomorrow. My fingers are sore and (weirdly) one of my eyes is red.. Yes.. Just the one!
I need to be back at the bride's apartment tomorrow at 7 clock in the morning.. Bright eyed and bushy tailed. It's 11.30pm and I am still awake.. There is something wrong with this picture..
I don't usually set alarms but I feel like tonight I may have to.. And then place the phone on the chest of drawers by the window..
I am going to dislike what I've done in the morning!

So what exactly is TAB POS Consulting all about?
Quite simply, The Advanced Business (or TAB for short) Consulting was started after spending years watching businesses choose a point-of-sale system that was not the right fit for their operation and their goals.
Do any of these frustrations sound familiar?
- Struggling to get the numbers/reports from the POS system to optimize your business?
- Feeling like you are in impromptu I.T. professional?
- Always stuck on the phone with support?
- Or, is the system just not easy to use?
A POS system should not be a hindrance to your operation. It should be there to help you more efficiently manage your business and contribute to your marketing operations,
Every restaurant functions differently. Sure, there are similarities, but a solution for one restaurant may not be the right fit for another, thus the goal is to determine the needs of your operation and deliver the best fit.
Let's ensure that you are choosing a POS system that will truly be an asset to your bottom line!

Runty & Stubbs - Release Night? EPIC FAIL.
these two are too feral and scared of people to be pets.. but at the same time they are not quite feral and independent enough for the outside world i think.. they haven't been outside since they were taken away from their mother.. these two are such a unique case. their siblings were tamed and became sweet adoptable kittens but runty and stubbs just couldn't get used to people no matter what we did. now they're fearful adults who grew up indoors. but because they grew up indoors they are scared of the outdoors. and the reason why they spent so much time indoors is because i was trying to socialize them but failed miserably. fuck fuck fuck. i've got indoor ferals. what the fuck am i going to do.
last night i wrapped my hands in a large towel and put them one by one into the carrier. of course they hated my handling them that's why i needed the towel to protect myself. once in the carrier they started hissing and spitting of course. i brought the carrier outside and placed it on the ledge in the driveway where i feed daisy mama cat everyday. that ledge is a little feeding station i guess and sometimes daisy mama's stray friends romeo and tybalt drop by for a meal too. its high enough that the dogs can't bother cats up there eating and there's a tree next to it for shade and a little shelter. anyway once on the ledge all a cat would have to do to leave my yard is jump through a gap in the wall. i placed the carrier in front of the gap. i put food and water at the carrier entrance. then i opened the door backed off and waited.. and waited.. and waited.. no one came out of the carrier.. the two raging balls of fur i expected never came flying out of the carrier.. after three hours (around 1am already) we decided to call it quits and bring them back in the house. once they were back in the house they were bitchy of course and untouchable.
what should i do now? just keep bringing them out in the carrier every night until one day they want to explore? or continue with the taming process that has produced no results for months?

Wow, that is quite a quandry. Do Rubty and Stubbs like other cats? I've known people who have had semi-feral cats as pets. These kitties can't be petted, but they get along well with the other cats in the house. So in a way, they are kind of the "pets" of the tame kitties that live there...
Oh, and your failed release experience kind of reminds me of a cat named Hilton we once had at our shelter. He was pretty feral (he used to RUSH the front of his cage when we opened it to feed him or change his litter box - no joke!), and we caught him with the intent of neutering and then releasing him into a feral cat colony. Anyway, when they tried to release him, he would NOT leave that carrier, and after like four hours, they brought him back to the shelter. Long story short, the experience of almost being back out in the wild must have "scared him straight." It's like he was a totally different (and nice) cat! After a few weeks, he was actually exposing his belly to be petted. True story!
I guess the reason I'm telling you all this is that you just never know. Hang in there, know that you are doing wonderful work, and follow your heart. You'll know what to do. :)

I think it's probably worth keeping up with some taming activities since they've decided it's too scary outside now.
If you can, get hold of some Valerian Root Herb - it stinks. Really stinks. It smells very similar to what comes out of cat anal glands, but it's useful in taming because it smells of cat.
Rub some on your hands and just leave your hand (maybe with gloves on) near them in their cage (ten inches ish away is a good distance) - cats seem not to be able to resist the smell, and with time may start sniffing it, moving closer to you and rubbing their heads against the yummy smell. This will let you gradually start using a finger to pet their heads, use a cat tongue lick motion to start with and let them take the lead.
No guarantee it will work, but I've used it several times to sway a cat away from the dark side of not tame/not feral.
You might want to wear a gas mask whilst you do this. Really the stench is grim. Valerian is quite calming, unlike catnip and also unlike catnip, all cats get off on it.
Best of luck :D

Cops' New Toys
Liuzhou's cops sure like their new toys. Three years ago, they took to patrolling the streets on those ridiculous self-balancing scooters which were all the rage at the time. It didn't last long. Like petulant children, they threw them aside and searched for the next toy.
Now we are informed that the local constabulary has been provided with the latest fad – drones and selected officers are being trained in their use in crime prevention and detection.
According to their guff "Liuzhou City Urban Management Law Enforcement detachment is committed to creating "science and technology urban management". The recent introduction of two high-end unmanned aerial vehicles, the establishment of an unmanned aerial vehicles brigade and air law enforcement, will achieve water, road and air three-dimensional law enforcement coverage."
"Then we'll all head off back to the cop shop for a nice cup of tea."
OK. I added the last sentence.

GMail for Domains?
By Deane Barker on February 8, 2006
GMail code hints at coming domain feature: These guys did some snooping around in the huge JavaScript code libraries for GMail and found some code that leads them to some cool conclusions.
Their next big move will likely be GMail for domains — a powerful way for anybody who owns a domain to utilize GMail as a mail server, not just a client. Yahoo has their own small business mail product which does precisely this, and now evidence suggests Google is planning the same.
You gotta be careful what you put in your JavaScript files.

Delicious vegetarian meals, home made breads, juices and house wines are served daily as the sun rises and sets over the mountains of the Oisans ranges.
This is an ancient village where time has been preserved in the twists of the timbers that support the tumbling tiles and wood piles high beside the cow shed door and yet, we can potter up the road and with one ski-lift are deposited into the heart of one of Europe's favourite ski areas, Alpe d'Huez.
Pumping pistes and the life affirming backdrop of the alpine scenery make this a retreat that offers both peace and passion for the ultimate ski-yoga getaway. Our yoga space looks over the mountains, with eyes drawn towards the rising sun or moon, high above the valley floor.
This environment is perfect to breathe deeply of life, to restore and revitalise as the practice soothes tired muscles, calms the mind and prepares the body lovingly for the skiing in your day ahead.
The company is warm, like minded and welcoming, with participants returning annually to experience the dream fusion of a holiday that facilitates skiing in one of the world's top resorts and the yoga instruction of a senior inspirational teacher.

notes: ghost riders, by richard grant
ghost riders; travels with american nomads, by richard grant, abacus 2003
"in recent decades the idea has become lodged in the cultural mainstream that north america was a peaceful, harmonious eden before the european conquest, peopled by gentle-hearted, noble-spirited environmentalists. it's an idea which attracts understandable support among modern american indians, or native americans if you prefer, although some find it patronizing – a new twist on the noble savage routine and of no use in solving their current problems." p35
"i turn the key and get the tucson oven-door treatment: a blast of superheated air in the face. i look around at the betrayal of my nomadic principles, the end of the nomadic experiement that was my life. well, maybe it doesn't look like much to you: a few articles of thrift-shop furniture, a lumpy worthless futon bed, from peace-a-shit hippie futons, the absence of tv and vcr, and the bare walls. but observe the sleek, black, dust-covered nine hundred-dollar stereo system and the stack of cds next to it. for some reason, i can drive happily for days without listening to music, but back here at home base i need it constantly. something about the rhythm and the passage of songs helps to break the feeling of dead, calm, empty stasis.
"observe also the computer, printer and fax machine/answering phone, which i once made a living without, and which have not plunged me into debt. "'debt: an ingenious substitute for the chain and whip of the slave driver,' as ambrose bierce defined it.)" p91
"still, if i was trespassing in this valley in the nineteenth century, cultural relativism would not be on my mind. i would have felt, presumably, the same way that almost all whites felt about apaches at the time. gruesome stories, images and stereotypes would have paraded through my mind, and fear, as it usually does, would turn to hatred. call in the army! exterminate the brutes!" p96
"bad planning is the mother of adventure." p98
"the ancestral conflict of nomad and settler is inbuilt and unavoidable, and founded in these two colliding philosophies of land use. the first settlements began on riverbanks, and as they divided their labor, and formed into hierarchies and states, they yearned to expand their power and take control of the nomad spaces gnawing at their fringes. the free flow of goods and people is a natural affront to a strong state. it calls for the establishment of fixed borders, the building of roads, the imposition of taxes, tariffs and systems of land ownership, the establishment of police agencies and bureaucracies to enforce the new order. the state can't help itself, any more than a cancer cell expanding its territory in a human body. this is what states do." p100
"'I've seen the planet on fire, everybody barbecued,' he says a few minutes later. 'i was up there with them, you know, looking down, so i asked them straight out, 'what the hell is going on down there?' they were real casual about it: 'oh, the humans blew up their planet again. they do it all the time.' well, that's the kind of insanity we've got to checkmate. big time. what people need to do is just turn everything off – the computers, the tvs, the lights, the electricity, the nuclear generators – just turn all that shit off and see if there's still a brain inside your skull. we've got to wake up the people before it's too late." p104
"this is the secret to a calm and restful night's sleep in rattlesnake and scorpion country: total exhaustion." p106
"within their clan structures the ulster scots had strict, patriarchal lines of command but their history had left them with a deep hatred and suspicion for all external, institutional forms of authority – governments, armies, laws, courts, judges, tax-collectors, state churches – and indeed for anyone to whom they weren't related. in northern britain, before they got to ireland, the border presbyterians had been known as 'crackers' (loutish braggarts) and 'rednecks' (fiery religious dissenters). these pejorative terms crossed the atlantic with the and are stil used to describe their present-day descentants.* (*the original derivations of these words have been obscured in popular american usage. 'cracker' is widely believed to refer to slave overseers, cracking their whips, who were mostly poor southern whites of scotch-irish descent. and 'redneck' is generally thought to derive from the strip of sunburned skin between the collar and the hat, common among bigoted rural whites in the south and the west – a region largely pioneered and settled by the scotch-irish." p121
"sam houston, a scotch-irish frontier boy who went on to become a us senator, fell into the fourth category, running off to join the cherokee as a teenager. 'the wild liberty of the Red Man,' he said, was preferable to the 'tyranny' of his older brothers, who headed the fatherless family. later in life, after he had been governor of tennessee and taken his position in the senate, houston went back to live with the cherokee, although this time it was for an extended bout of alcoholism, brought on by an unhappy marriage. he pulled out of it and went on to become the president of texas.
"'thousands of europeans are indians,' noted hector st john de crevecoeur, a straight-laced farmer who harbored a secret envy for their free and easy lives, 'and we have no examples of even one of these aborigines having from choice become europeans!'
"it is an undertold story in american history, because it runs contrary to the dominant theme of the conquest, and because it strikes at the european ideas of racial and cultural superiority that were used to justify the conquest, in particular the notion that sedentary christian civilization is the pinnacle of human progress, and god's plan for north america. the long hunters, the roaming buckskinned traders like jack hayes, the captives who refused to come back, the runaways and later the mountain men: all these groups, to some extent, rejected civilization as too constrictive and went native. as bil gilbert writes:
'it is small wonder that some white frontiersmen found this life-style appealing. they discovered that simply by joining the savages, they could live and enjoy themselves as only the richest and most powerful europeans, the royalty and rulers, were able or permitted to live – that is, with almost total personal freedom…[it] had a persistent unsettling and subversive influence on the frontier and, therefore, on the american imagination. working like a chronic low-grade fever, the notion that only a feral man can be genuinely free constituted the most ironic legacy of the forest wars – the final revenge of the shawnee, cherokee and iroquois." p126-127
"'in america you grow up with that cowboy ideal, that you should be independant and self-reliant and value your freedom above all else. that's what the films, and tv, and books, and popular culture tell you america is all about. then you find out that, in reality, society wants you to be exactly the opposite: obedient, fearful, dependant, basically a good little wage slave. my reaction was to get a motorcycle, wear a lot of black leather and chains, and develop an extremely confrontational attitude.'" p167
"the science is inconclusive, but there has been a lot of talk lately about certain enzymes and flushing mechanisms that europeans use to break down and process alcohol, and which american indians (and australian aborigines) seem to lack. whether it's genetic or cultural or both, there is no doubt that the longer a people has lived with alcohol, the less prone they are to alcoholism. mediterranean europeans, with seven thousand years of drinking behind them, have a 10 per cent susceptability to alcoholism. northern europeans, with fifteen hundred years, have a 20-40 per cent susceptibility, with the highest rates among russians, poles, irish and scots. american indians, with three hundred years of exposure to alcohol, have a 80-90 per cent likelihood of becoming alcoholics if they start drinking." p184-5
"in 1885 senator henry dawes made a tour of indian reservations in oklahoma and delivered his report to the lake mohonk conference – an annual gathering of influential whites who called themselves 'friends of the indian', and were dedicated to advancing their red brethren towards white civilization. the senator brought dispiriting news: 'there is no selfishness, which is at the bottom of civilization.' the tribes were still living within communal social structures. they were still sharing all their food and possessions with their kinfolk. they were more impressed by displays of generosity than the accumulation of private wealth.
"'we need to awaken in him [the indian] wants,' said another conferencee. 'in his dull savagery he must be touched by the wings of the divine angel of discontent…discontent with the tepee and the starving rations of the indian camp in winter is needed to get the indian out of the blanket and into trousers – and trousers with a pocket in them, and with a pocket that aches to be filled with dollars!…this is the first great step in the education of the race.'
"the result of the conference was the dawes act, which authorized the breaking up of the indian reservations in oklahoma. communal land was to be divided into privately held 160-acre allotments, to encourage respect for private property and the nuclear family. by happy coincidence, the dawes act also freed up 28,500,000 acres of 'surplus' land to the clamoring white settlers, and activated the oklahoma land rush.
"it sounds like a cynical excuse for yet another land grab, but the conferencees firmly believed they were doing the best for the indians. it was an article of faith in the nineteenth century, held to by capitalists and marxists alike, that all human societies progressed through inexorable, unwavering stages of history. from wandering savagery, the first stage of progress was sedentary farming, which gave rise to the division of labor, private property and social hierarchies, which in turn produced civilization, feudalism, capitalism and industrialism. and like lenin, stalin or mao, american leaders felt it was their duty to speed the inevitable process along by forcibly imposing a more advanced culture on the laggards.
"of course, these processes are not inevitable, especially when it comes to nomadic tribes. nomadism generally develops in opposition to sedentary agriculture, not as a stage towards it. looking out over the entire span of history, one can produce a few isolated examples of nomad tribes who voluntarily settled down, or were lured into settlement against their better judgement- like the scythians. but it usually takes starvation or military defeat to get tribal nomads to settle – a choice between settlement and death. this has always puzzled the civilized, made them curious what is the big attraction? why would people choose hardship over comfort? the civilized betray the answer through their repressed envy of nomads and their propensity to romanticize nomads once they no longer present a threat." p195-6
"in addition to rejecting the materialism and competitive individualism of western civilization, medicine wing and his cohorts also came to reject its rationalist underpinnings – the dictates of logic, the demands for empirical evidence and scientific proof, the whole linear cause-and-effect, cartesian logic trip. look what it had produced! a culture of greed and spiritual emptiness nuclear weapons, alienation from nature, a suicidal, matricidal war against the earth." p220
"traditionally, grandparents have been a rooted, stabilizing force on our societies, orienting their lives around their homes, communities, children and grandchildren. the images and cliches we hold of retirement are sedentary in nature: the armchair and slippers, grandma baking cookies in her kitchen, a well-tended garden. we think of old age as a time of slowing down and solidifying, of moving about less and less until you stop moving altogether.
"the eisenhower generation has staged a mass rebellion against this model of retirement. some thirty million retirees have left behind their homes, families and communities and struck out for new sociological frontiers. the bulk of this movement has come to rest in the new corporate-managed, age-segregated retirement communities in the sunbelt (where no under-fifty-fives are allowed to live), but a significant minority has chosen to abandon sedentary living altogether. after a working life spent paying off mortgages, raising families and accumulating possessions, they were called by the other american dream – 'burn down the house and saddle up the horse,' as mike hatfield described it. or more precisely, sell the house and buy an rv with the proceeds." p287-8
"all the world's major religions were dreamed up by desert wanders, which is why they focus on deities who live in the sky." p305

High street chain tell NME they're still hopeful for the future though
A spokesman for HMV has admitted that they failed to fully realise the impact that the internet would have on their business and that they are still paying for their lack of initiative in adapting the store for the online world.
The company's chief executive Simon Fox admitted earlier this week that they had endured 'disappointing' sales over Christmas and were widely condemned by business analysts for their failure to deal with the competition from online stores.
Speaking to NME, a spokesman for the entertainment retailer said that though the company were working hard to compete with online retailers, they wish they had embraced the internet's power earlier on.
Asked about whether they felt criticism they had received for failing to adapt to competition from online retailers had been unfair, HMV's spokesman said:
Clearly, we wouldn't be where we are today without having made some mistakes and the seeds of many of the challenges we now face were actually sown a good 10 or more years ago. There were an amazing generation of people who worked here then – incredibly passionate about music and highly driven, that helped to make HMV a powerhouse of music and entertainment retail, but, ironically, that very same culture arguably blinkered us to some of the changes that were beginning to bubble away around us, including the first stirrings of the internet.
They continued: "It meant that we didn't fully anticipate and act on the opportunities that could potentially be developed online, whereas others did. If we could go back a decade, that's the one thing we'd change."
The spokesman went on to say that they believed HMV was the poster store for the difficulties suffered by music industry in adjusting to the internet and the rise of illegal downloading. They also said that the chain were developing new facilities to make sure they weren't left behind again.
The spokesman added: "Because HMV is a well-known brand, it seems to symbolise many of the changes taking place in the music industry. There's still a lot that we've done right and with some exciting ideas and new developments on the way, we're now looking forwards again, bringing in a full multi-channel experience in which music will play a key part, that will fully bring together our stores with our online and digital services in a way that no one else really can."

When a state is deeply in the red, budget increases should be scrutinized. But in California, where the state faces, according to Governor Jerry Brown, a $1.6 billion shortfall, there's still always money aplenty for illegal immigrants' causes.
… but only in programs that help California's vanishing citizen middle-class
California's Middle Class Scholarship program (MCS) is on Governor Jerry Brown's chopping block. Intended to pay for up to 40 percent of UC and Cal State students' tuition fees, assuming their families' incomes and assets, minus home values and retirement accounts, don't exceed $156,000.
By next summer, Governor Jerry Brown predicts that California's budget deficit will hit $1.6 billion. And California's insurmountable Wall of Debt, an aggregate of its current and long-term debt plus unfunded obligations, is a staggering $443 billion. In light of California's disastrous fiscal nightmare, Gov. Brown proposes to cut public school spending, and re-evaluate other costly entitlement programs the state can no longer afford.
California is flush, or so it would seem. Recent headlines cheered a soaring budget surplus that may have increased by $8 billion over the last several months. The total is four times the original $2 billion estimate and is attributable to stronger-than-anticipated income tax receipts.
When I read that an inability to speak English isn't a deterrent to receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), I wasn't surprised.
Here's an update on the other side's amnesty jargon. Outdated are comprehensive immigration reform and legalization. The latest trendy phrase is "path to citizenship," no doubt the result of market research into what resonates best among those amnesty advocates need to convince. "Amnesty," suggestive of forgiving criminals, offends. The softer "path to citizenship" may resonate positively with the undecided.
Illegal aliens often seek medical care in hospital emergency rooms. So imagine that Jane, a hypothetical illegal alien, went to a Houston, Texas emergency room with something as simple as the flu. The hospital doctors and nurses review her symptoms, maybe observe her overnight, possibly prescribe medicine and release her the next day.
In the 1930s, San Bernardino was a prime winter vacation destination for Hollywood movie stars seeking to get away from what they considered to be chilly Los Angeles weather. Just as winter ended, two major league baseball franchises, the Pittsburgh Pirates and the St. Louis Browns held their spring training camps in Berdo, as its many admirers lovingly called the Inland Empire city.
According to the World Bank Factbook 2011, the US is the top migrant destination country and had the largest inflows of migrants between 2005 and 2010. As of 2010, the total number of immigrants in the US is 42.8 million. The top country with the number of emigrants (those leaving their home country) is Mexico at 11.9 million. The top migration corridor is the Mexico-United States corridor with 11.6 million people.
As an oldster of 80 with two jobs, a large family to see to, and enjoying a wonderful married life with lots of sports and social activities I disagree totally with the stupid economists who think we oldsters can't take care of ourselves and that the dwindling population of younger people should have to pay and take care of us. That is the stated reason for advocating that European nations, Japan and the U.S. have more children. These economists think that we need more workers to put money into the Social Security programs of each nation. But because the U.S.

Why Is My Pet cat Carrying out That? Tips For A Cat Parent
Appropriately outdoor cat cages education your cat has a unique expertise-set that no other pet can get you ready for. When you a solution to your dog being nicely-behaved, house skilled, and fun with other individuals, then you need to pay all the time from it as you can and practice the suggestions you discover in the adhering to paragraph. It's unlike your dog that you could keep outside the house about the sequence for weeks.
Be sure to make your cat's litter box thoroughly clean always. Most kittens and cats usually do not like try using a messy litter box, just like you will not want to use a messy bathroom. Scoop it one or more times a day. Empty and present it an effective washing once a week or higher as needed.
When you have outside cats, make sure to dissuade insects including coyotes, possums and raccoons by delivering kitty foods inside at night. Nourish your pet cats the first thing every morning, and be sure there is absolutely no food items left at nightfall. This may keep your pet cats resistant to assault and disease.
In the event you just became your cat you need to bring them to the veterinarian immediately, specially when it is a feral feline or kitten.

It is Vital To Stretch!
We are always told that we should stretch, but is it better before our workout, after our workout, on our rest days?
These are all great questions and I think they are all right answers.
Stretching is always beneficial and here are some important reasons why:
Improved blood circulation: The deep breathing in yoga and the deep pressure work in foam rolling work together to improve your blood circulation which is beneficial because it allows your body to begin removing toxins from your body, delivers more oxygen to your cells and allows for a more efficient transportation of nutrients to your body at a cellular level.
Improved flexibility: THIS IS SO IMPORTANT! I feel like we are always in such a rush that we don't give ourselves enough time to really listen to our bodies. Since my hips were tight they were causing my knee joint to strain due to improper alignment. My hamstrings were also very tight which was contributing to my back pain and my overall inflexibility was causing my poor posture.The reason why yoga and foam rolling were so important in helping me with my scoliosis is because when your muscles are tight they shorten and pull your body in different directions. When you stretch them and apply deep pressure to those tissues you are lengthening the muscles allowing for proper mobility.
Aerobic activity: Usually the energy you are exerting during yoga is at an aerobic level meaning that your heart rate is in a range that is optimal for reducing stress, depression and your risk of having a heart attack. It also improves your oxygen intake during exercise and increases your endurance.
Myofascial release: Myo-what? Our muscles and fascia, a connective tissue located right beneath the skin, make up the myofascia system. When we are injured or not flexible the muscle tissue and fascia can become connected which results in limited muscle movement and range of motion which causes pain and soreness. Using a foam roller to break this tension up will relieve muscle and joint pain!
Mental well-being: I am a very positive person! I love life, being in a good mood, helping others be positive and seeing the good in everything, even if it seems likes it really sucks. But something crazy comes over my mind when I do not work out and when I do not allow myself to have a little "me time". I start to think things "WHAT AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE??" and start to believe that I'm just destined to be lazy. Crazy, over dramatic thoughts that are a result of not giving myself enough attention!! Any kind of activity is the answer to shaking these feelings but yoga especially! Its meditation and breathing create mental calmness and clarity and it sharpens concentration and self-awareness.
Now you have the information you need to make the most out of your stretching and get the most from your workouts.

Spica Parent's Name:
Do You Have a Blog About Your Spica Journey?
Spica Baby's Name:
Spica Baby's Age When He or She Was First Casted:
7 months
Weeks In The Cast:
Favorite Spica Journey Memory:
Getting the cast off?! Haha, no... Within 6 hours of getting home from the hospital after Maura's closed reduction she began slowly army crawling down the hallway- grunting and groaning as she went. It was that moment that I realized how determined and strong she truly is.
Biggest Lesson Learned:
I learned how capable we, as a family, are of handling challenges. This was very unexpected and new territory, but my husband and I stepped up to the plate and got through every day for our daughter. We're capable of more than we knew.
What Do You Wish You Knew:
Casts vary. Our cast came up higher, but was looser and had a wider diaper area than others I saw. What worked for one person might not work for your cast. I was able to ask our ortho in advance what ours would be like, which was very helpful.
Favorite Gear or Must Have Item:
Spica table for meals, we still use ours with our rhino brace! My daughter also loved the cast cooler. But honestly, Maura played on the floor like she did before her cast and got along just fine.
Final Thoughts or Advice:
Don't wish away the time in the cast. Your child is only this young once. It's easy to get caught up in the negative thoughts, the "she should be standing, etc." but try to focus on what your child can still do. Gross motor milestones might be stalled, but your child is still developing in so many other ways!

This summer at camp we have the opportunity to host some pretty interesting individuals! Keep reading for a little information about our guests.
The evil supervillain Dr. Grubseel has come back to camp for the first time since the 80's and is absolutely appalled by how much camp has changed. Back in his days as a supervillain camper, he didn't have air conditioning or water bottle filling stations. Also, he really can't get over how we play 9-Square instead of 4-Square now. "Too many squares" says Grubseel in his convincing Eastern-European accent. This yellow-jumpsuit-clad supervillain is set on changing camp back to the way he remembers it, and our elementary campers have taken it upon themselves to stop him! It's time for them to train as superheroes and defeat the evil Dr. Grubseel. Of course, every good superhero needs a trainer and mentor. Luckily for us, an insurance agent named Shane Williams has been hanging out around camp lately. He knows a thing or two about training superheroes, and has agreed to help. Some year round staff have claimed that he looks a lot like an old superhero legend, The Bearded Wonder (But it's totally not him, we promise!)
Here's a pic of Dr. Grubseel in case that helps you understand
Anyway, I have a feeling that Grubseel has his work cut out for him. Shane Williams seems to know what he's doing, and these Elementary Campers have their hearts set on thwarting Grubseel's plans once and for all.
Another exciting event happening at camp this summer is the ACTUAL OLYMPICS! For some reason, the 2016 Rio Olympics needed to be relocated, and Camp was chosen to be the host. They also needed to replace some (all) of the athletes, so we've given our Middle Schoolers the chance to step up and compete in the events! They've been training hard, and I really think they've got what it takes to bring home the gold medal. Of course, that is if they can impress the judges. Especially the oldest and crankiest judge in all Olympic history, Mr. Grubseel (No relation to the Supervillain, we promise). He's been all extra mean lately, and nobody can really seem to guess why. It does seem to happen around a certain week every summer though. Anyway, Grubseel may be a cranky old man, but he can't take away the spirit of the Olympics! Our Middle Schoolers are primed and ready to perform to the best of their abilities.
Strange occurrences seem to happen in threes, don't they? They certainly do at camp. In addition to the exciting things that our Elementary and Middle School campers get to do, our High Schoolers have been learning about how to open holes in space/time and travel to the future/past and also outer space! All of this is thanks to the help of time travel scientist, Ingo Weindenhover. He has somehow collected the keys to time, and brought them to camp this summer! We're not sure where he got them from, but it must be a legit source and nothing at all will go wrong. Dr. Weindenhover is quite respected in his field, after all. Our High School campers are going to be spending their week zooming through space and time with Dr. Weindenhover, and it will all be very educational.
All mystery aside, we are so excited to have each and every one of these campers here this week, and for the 6 weeks after that. Our hope and prayer is that we will experience God through all of the wacky things we do this week. We believe in building a strong community through sharing common space, intentional conversation, worship, and (of course) getting a little weird. Campers, thank you for choosing to spend your week here with is. Parents and churches, thank you for bringing your kids to us. Thank you for believing in us. Thank you for supporting camp with your prayers. We couldn't do this without you.
Grace and Peace
