I totally understand it being such a huge decision. I have three girls and all of them have gotten their vaccines at the suggested age & we have never had any problem whatsoever. I know this is a very personal decision, but it sounds like you are leaning towards spacing the vaccinations out and if that makes you feel more comfortable do that!!

I went back and forth on this for a while. So far, we have given Eisley all of her vaccines on schedule but I do have a couple friends that have decided to use the Dr. Sears schedule of delayed vaccinations!

I'm struggling with the same thing, we have our 2 month soon. I know i am not giving my little guy the hep b, i don't think it is needed. As the other 4 go i was thinking about splitting them up or waiting all together, but i don't have allergies or anything.
If that is your main concern i would just split them up so if he does have a reaction it's easier to know what it's from.

I want to warn you about putting off the DTaP vaccine. Pertussis is on the rise in the US and when babies contract it, it can be deadly. The vaccination requires a booster in adults (I'm sure you were forced to receive it) but most adults are up to date with their immunity. 83% of deaths occur in children under 3 months.
This is from the Sounds of Pertussis website:
Nationally, pertussis is on the rise.8 This disease is potentially fatal, especially in infants.1,2 In 2008, 16 of the 18 deaths from pertussis in the US were in babies aged 3 months and younger.8 And 61% of babies younger than 12 months who get pertussis end up in the hospital.

There is a major out break of Pretusus going around the country right now, which is part of what the TDaP vaccine prevents. Good luck and keep praying mama!

I agree with the pertussis comments. With the season upon us and those icky germs everywhere, I think it's important for both parents and babes. As a NICU nurse, I've seen many babies come back in with some nasty, nasty respiratory issues and to have it be one that's preventable is unfortunate. That said, I don't hate the altered vaccine schedule. You know what's best for your little man!

I personally have not had any problems with my two boys following the schedule, but go with your gut mama. He is your baby and you are his mama. You know what is best. I just think it's extremely important to get them vaccinated one way or another.

We probably all know the second commandment:
"You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below." (Exodus 20:4)
But what does that mean for me? How can I apply that to my immediate life? The Bible clearly warns against the Buddha type carven image we all know as an idol, but is there a deeper meaning here? The verse above states that we are not to create an idol in the form of ANYTHING. So if anything can be turned into an idol, how do we avoid turning something into one? Let's take a moment to put a definition to the word "Idol". I believe we can consider anything that we place above God, whether it's a person or an object, as an idol. The first commandment talks about worshipping false gods:
"You shall have no other gods before me." (Exodus 20:3)
What exactly is God talking about here, though? The Oxford Dictionary defines a god as "an image, animal, or other object worshiped as divine or symbolizing a god". So essentially, God is telling us not to worship any images, animals, or objects before him. Let's think of another god then, as an idol. Something we're placing before God. So any image, animal, or object that we're worshipping instead of God is an idol, a false god. Now you're probably thinking… Well, that's great, but what does it mean to worship? Worship is defined in the dictionary as: "Great admiration or devotion shown towards a person or principle or object". So if I were to turn something into an idol, I would need to devote more time to, and admire it more than God. What do we have in this day and age that we spend more time with and find more interesting than God? What things would we rather do than our devotions?
Idolatry doesn't end with literal objects, though. Even if you aren't placing any person or thing above God (which I'm pretty sure, with some examination of your life, this won't be the case), idolatry is also a matter of the heart – pride, self-centeredness, greed, gluttony and a love for possessions.
Ultimately, Idolatry is a rebellion against God. When we place other gods/idols over him, we're saying to Him "I like the benefits I'm receiving from my relationship with you, but I don't find you important enough to give you the highest priority in my life."
But why is idolatry such a big deal that we're spending an entire month on the subject? Well, what does Scripture have to say?
"You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods." (Exodus 20:5) (NLT)
Idolatry's a big deal because God says it is. I chose to use the NLT translation for this verse because I love how they phrase the "why" we must not bow down or worship other gods. Because he is a jealous God that will not tolerate our affection for other gods. I don't know about you, but not being tolerated by the creator of the universe doesn't seem very fun to me. Now, generally God doesn't open up the ground and swallow people whole anymore, and for that I am thankful. But what will your answer be to God one day when he asks you "Why did you find this more important than me?"
So now that we know why idolatry is such a big deal, what should our response be? What does God desire of us?
"Whether therefore you eat, or drink or whatever you do, do all for the glory of God" (1 Corinthians 10:31)
We are called to do EVERYTHING for God's glory. Is playing a computer game glorifying God? Is listening to music glorifying to God? Is watching a movie glorifying to God? How many things can you actually think of in your everyday life that bring glory to Him? What does the Bible say we MUST do?
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal." (Matthew 6:19-20)
God doesn't want us to invest in earthly, material objects; but in heavenly, holy ones. One of my favourite parts of the Bible is where Solomon writes this after he has followed worldly pursuits for a time:
"'Meaningless! Meaningless!' says [Solomon]. 'Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless.'" (Ecclesiastes 1:1)
Solomon, with all his wisdom, had come to the realisation that all the riches and pleasures in the world mean nothing. He then goes into detail following this verse about HOW everything is meaningless. Solomon continues like this for the whole book, until the end where he says this:
"Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil" (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14)
What I'm trying to say is, we don't need idols. We have God, and we are called to serve Him.

Ere Perez Oat Milk Foundation Shades
Latte – porcelain skin tones
Honey – light skin tones
Chai – light to medium skin tones
Caramel – golden warm skin
Brew – medium to deeper skin tones
Mocha – for deeper skin tones
- This gorgeous liquid foundation is best applied with the unique Ere Perez FOUNDATION & CONCEALER BRUSH for optimum coverage, using the wide flat end of the brush.
- Pump the foundation onto the back of your hand.
- Apply to face with the brush, beginning close to the centre of the face. Areas such as nose, eyelids and inner cheeks are a good place to start.
- Continue with application, bearing in mind you may not need to cover all the way up to the hairline or jaw. In fact, it's often best to stop before these areas and blend well, to avoid that obvious 'foundation line'.
- Once the foundation is on your face, it's time to blend, blend, blend! This will help to disguise redness, pigmentation and uneven skin tone.
- With the small, pointed end of the brush, you can apply foundation to trickier spots such as the corner of the eyes or under the nose to get the same affect. Remember to blend!
- You now have the perfect canvas for blush, bronzer, eye makeup and lip products.

Requiem for the Moseley-Braun Campaign
When Carole Moseley-Braun came into the presidential race, reportedly with encouragement from Dick Gephardt, it was no secret that her mission was to neutralize Al Sharpton if (scratch that, when) he said anything that embarrassed the Democratic party. Expectations were not high.
Even in this context I was underwhelmed by her early debate performances. After the first debate on September 4th I noted in my blog that she "confuses me." Particularly puzzling was her claim that everyone in America gets health care. By the time of the late October debate in Detroit, however, she started to impress me.
After that debate I gave her the "Most Candid" award, commenting on my blog that, "Her answers on tough issues like Iraq always acknowledge the facts as they are, not some alternative universe where Bush isn't president." (Incidentally, Wes Clark was the "Biggest Phony".) Since that time she has consistently presented a levelheaded analysis of the Iraq problem, even in the pre-capture days when the boys were having fun grinding Bush's nuts in the Mesopotamian sand.
One of Carol's favorite tropes is that, "When you're born Black and a woman…" Here's another one: When you're a Black, female Democrat, people assume that you are far Left. In fact, Moseley-Braun's beliefs put her right in the center of the Democratic party. Yes, she was against the war, but so were the vast majority of Democrats. Yes, she supports taxpayer-financed, universal health care, but so do 62% of adults according to a recent ABC / Washington Post poll. If her policy stances alone disqualify her as a serious candidate, then there is something very wrong with our political system.
Although Moseley-Braun is officially retired as a presidential candidate, she deserves consideration for the role of vice president. Kerry appears to be thinking about it – it seems that at every debate he gives some indication that he is fond of her (platonically speaking). Wesley Clark, in particular, would do well to give her some consideration. After all, when you're born white and male, and you're a retired general, and you've spent most of your life saying nice things about Republicans, you could do worse than have Carol Moseley-Braun at your side at the Democratic convention.Posted by Woody Mena at January 17, 2004 10:18 PM

ACLU Asks Federal Judge To Immediately Block Enforcement Of South Carolina Jail Policy Banning Books And Newspapers
Policy Results In Unconstitutional Censorship
CHARLESTON, SC - The American Civil Liberties Union today asked a federal judge to immediately block enforcement of a policy at a South Carolina jail that effectively bans many books, magazines and newspapers from being sent to prisoners.
In a motion seeking an order enjoining the ban, the ACLU charges that officials at the Berkeley County Detention Center in Moncks Corner, S.C. are unconstitutionally refusing to allow prisoners to receive any materials that contain staples or pictures of any level of nudity, including beachwear or underwear.
"This is nothing more than an excuse by jail officials to ban books and magazines for no good reason," said David Shapiro, staff attorney with the ACLU National Prison Project. "There is no justification for denying detainees access to periodicals and in the process cutting them off from the outside world."
After the ACLU filed a lawsuit last year challenging an unconstitutional policy at the jail barring all books, magazines and newspapers – except for the Bible – from being sent to prisoners, jail officials responded by claiming they only banned materials containing staples and any degree of nudity. But as the ACLU points out in its motion, jail officials were selling detainees legal pads with staples in them at the jail commissary even as they were claiming to ban publications with staples as a supposed security risk.
"Jail officials are looking for any excuse they can come up with to obscure the fact that they are unconstitutionally censoring materials sent to detainees," said Victoria Middleton, Executive Director of the ACLU of South Carolina. "And in so doing they are failing to serve the detainees and the taxpayers of South Carolina. Helping prisoners rehabilitate themselves and maintain a connection to the outside world by reading books and magazines is a key part of what should be our larger and fiscally prudent objective of reducing the number of people we lock up by lowering recidivism rates."
Filed on behalf of Prison Legal News, a monthly journal on prison law distributed across the nation to prisoners, attorneys, judges, law libraries and other subscribers, the ACLU's lawsuit charges that jail officials violate the rights of Prison Legal News under the speech, establishment and due process clauses of the First and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution by refusing to deliver copies of the journal and other magazines and books to detainees.
The ACLU lawsuit charges that since 2008, copies of Prison Legal News and other books sent to detainees at Berkeley County have been returned to sender. The books rejected by the jail's officials include "Protecting Your Health and Safety," which is designed to help prisoners not represented by an attorney and explains the legal rights inmates have regarding health and safety – including the right to medical care and to be free from inhumane treatment.
There is no library at the Berkeley County Detention Center, meaning that prisoners who are incarcerated for extended periods of time have been deprived of access to magazines, newspapers and books – other than the Bible – for months or even years on end.
A federal judge on Tuesday granted a request by the U.S. Department of Justice to stand alongside Prison Legal News as a plaintiff in the lawsuit. Justice Department officials argue the jail's policy violates both the First Amendment and the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA), a law passed by Congress in 2000 to protect the religious rights of prisoners and other institutionalized persons.
Prison Legal News, which provides information about legal issues such as court access, disciplinary hearings, prison conditions, excessive force, mail censorship, prison and jail litigation, visitation, telephones, religious freedom, prison rape and the death penalty, has been published since 1990 and has about 7,000 subscribers across the country. It also distributes various books aimed at fostering a better understanding of criminal justice policies and allowing prisoners to educate themselves in areas such as legal research, how to write a business letter and health care in prison.
"It is unfortunate that rather than respect the rights of publishers to communicate with prisoners the jail continues to try to defend the indefensible by banning our books and magazines," said Paul Wright, editor of Prison Legal News.

How Worker Co-ops Decide to Share Profits
Worker cooperatives can help build community wealth through sharing profits with workers. The Third Cooperative Principle is "Member Economic Participation" which describes how members invest into the cooperative and benefit from the surplus of the cooperative, as well as share any financial burdens it may have in difficult times. Similarly, the Second Cooperative Principle is Member Democratic Control, which is a key to this equitable sharing process as members decide how the surplus is distributed.
Your legal structure will determine different aspects of how the cooperative can distribute profit or surplus. For the sake of this blog post, I'm referring to Worker Cooperatives that are incorporated under corporate statutes. As incorporation statutes do change in different states, any of this information you would want to review with an accountant and/or lawyer in your state (and preferably one that knows co-ops – CDI can help you find one, get in touch.).
Cooperatives often define their profits as "surplus," but more accurately surplus describes the net income that is generated by members, also known as worker-owners, whereas profit describes the net income that is generated by non-owner workers. For example, if you had a total of 1000 hours worked in the year with 600 hours worked by worker-owners and 400 hours worked by non-owner workers, then 60% of the total net income would be the "surplus" and 40% of the total net income would be the "profit."
The profit generated by non-owner workers must be returned to the indivisible reserves of the cooperative and not distributed directly to the worker-owners. This helps to build the long-term capital of the cooperative and improves its financial stability.

Cloud Computing…isn't
By Deane Barker on June 2, 2008
Trends: Cloud Computing and Content Management: Fascinating commentary of how environmentalism and "cloud computing" relate. It discusses how cloud computing and the "you never have to throw anything away" mentality contribute to what seems to be an ecological disaster. Bytes on disk, it turns out, are not free, either in a financial or environmental sense.
In fact Cloud Computing simply means moving things to big and bigger Data Centers. Data Centers are anything but fluffy. They are huge, energy-sucking giants — many the size of small towns. They are environmental disasters and the only thing fluffy about them is the C02 emissions they belch out. Data Centers will in time according to The Uptime Institute become bigger polluters than the aviation industry. Data Centers require massive amounts of energy to operate — often as much energy is used to cool the centers as to power them. All that heat has to go somewhere. If you think your air conditioning unit is an ecological no-no, then consider the AC demands on a data center the size of 5 football fields […]
The argument at the end is that efficient email archiving management can reduce your stored email by 90%.

Written By: Joel Palmer, Op-Ed Writer
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) will be increasing its focus in the next year on ensuring that certain mortgage borrowers don't face credit discrimination.
The CFPB recently released its fifth Fair Lending Report, which summarizes its supervision and enforcement activity in the past year as well as its priorities for the coming year.
In the report, the CFPB outlines three priority areas where it has identified "substantial risk of credit discrimination," including redlining, mortgage and student loan servicing and small business lending.
"In the coming years, we will increase our focus on markets or products where we see significant or emerging fair lending risk to consumers," including mortgage loan servicing, wrote CFPB Director Richard Cordray in the opening of the report.
Specifically, the CFPB will evaluate whether lenders have intentionally avoided making loans to applicants in minority neighborhoods, a practice known as redlining. In addition, the bureau will analyze whether borrowers who are behind on their mortgage payments "have more difficulty working out a new solution with the servicer because of their race, ethnicity, sex, or age."
The Fair Lending Report outlines the bureau's risk-based process for determining its supervisory and enforcement priorities. The process includes the quality of an institution's compliance management system, as well as past consumer complaints,enforcement history, analysis of HMDA data, and input from advocacy groups, whistleblowers and government agencies.
Based on what it determined to be the highest risks to consumers, the CFPB has focused the past five years on ensuring that consumers are not excluded from or made to pay more for mortgages, indirect auto loans, and credit cards because of their race, ethnicity, sex, or age.
The report indicated that "emerging fair lending risks in other areas" led to the re-prioritization for this year.
The report highlighted fair lending enforcement in the previous year. It included a summary of the joint action between the CFPB and the Justice Department against BancorpSouth Bank for what it termed "discriminatory mortgage lending practices that harmed "African Americans and other minorities." The bank was accused of:
• Illegal redlining in Memphis, Tennessee, between 2011 and 2013. The agencies alleged that the bank structured its business to avoid and discourage consumers in minority neighborhoods from accessing mortgages.
• Discrimination in mortgage underwriting. The bank was accused of denying mortgage loans to African-American applicants more often than white applicants in similar situations.
• Pricing discrimination. The agencies also accused BancorpSouth of charging higher interest to African Americans.
A consent order entered into in July 2016 required BancorpSouth to pay $4 million in direct loan subsidies in minority neighborhoodsin Memphis, $2.78 million to affected consumers, and a $3 million penalty.
The report also covered an October 2016 warning letter to 44 mortgage lenders and mortgage brokers for potential violation of requirements to collect, record, and report data about their housing-related lending activity. According to the report, however, the CFPBmade no determination that a legal violation occurred.
Another section on rule making covered the CFPB's amendment of Regulation C, the status of the new uniform residential loan application, and the recent proposal regarding amendments to Regulation to facilitate Regulation C compliance.

Architecture fascinates me. Take the Ba'hai Temple in Delhi, India (similar to Sydney's Opera House) – how did engineers structure the concrete to form the petal shape that is iconic to both these structures?
When modern architecture is so fascinating, imagine how much more enchanting ancient architecture can be. Take this picture, for example. It's the roof of a centograph in Madore, Jodhpur, handcrafted in rock in a time before machines and moulds. Each of the 8 female figures on the dome is carved in a different pose – one playing the cymbal, another the flute, and another a drum. Some of the detailing has worn off with age, but close examination shows the care with which details have been carved.
The concentric carved rings of the central dome have been planned in such a way that when viewed from below they look like carved lace, but when examined closely, the carving, though detailed and symmetrical, is not very fine. Without the help of computer modeling, design moulds or mechanical tools, these artisans of yore created poetry in stone.
The Architectural Marvels series is an ode to these long-forgotten craftsmen.

Airline Shuffle of the Deadby M-Rebeiro
Two women were arrested in April 2010 when they attempted to board a dead relative onto a plane in Liverpool.
Staff became suspicious when the widow and step-daughter of 91-year-old Curt Willi Jarant tried to check him onto a flight to Berlin. The pair told authorities they believed he was asleep, which would be reasonable considering his condition. They were arrested on suspicion of failing to give notification of a death. In September of 2010 they were acquitted of all charges as pathologists determined that the man had actually died at some point between getting into the taxi and arriving at the airport.

Feigning Surpise at US Credit Crash?
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan told Congress on Thursday he is "shocked" at the breakdown in U.S. credit markets and said he was "partially" wrong to resist regulation of some securities.

How can someone as smart as good old Alan be shocked? What's to become of the rest of us who don't have near as many braincells?

People are being encouraged to have their say on how the budget for subsidising bus travel in Staffordshire can be best spent.
All bus journeys made in Staffordshire are operated by either private bus companies or by voluntary and community organisations.
Although more than 90 per cent of these trips are made without any subsidy, the county council currently pays as much as £10 per passenger journey where there are too few people using them or not enough money paid to make the service commercially viable.
In 2016, the council agreed to review these subsidised journeys and has now put forward four options on how the smaller £1.3m subsidy "pot" could be best spent next year.
The different options consider a range of factors including; the amount of subsidy, number of passengers, education, employment and health travel and access to other public transport.
Although no decision has been made, the preferred option would maintain the greatest number of journeys currently subsidised.
Mark Deaville, Staffordshire County Council's Cabinet member responsible for transport, said:
All bus journeys in Staffordshire are operated by private bus companies or voluntary and community groups – and 90 per cent of these are made without any subsidy.
However, some people might be surprised to hear that we do still subsidise some journeys on buses by much as £10 per passenger trip because they can't be run on a commercial basis.
As a county council we have to balance how much of taxpayers' money we can afford to spend on subsiding travel against the need to protect the funding of statutory services such as adult social care. This year we will need to spend a record £300m on care alone.
Some authorities have stopped subsidising buses, but in Staffordshire £1.3m will still be spent on this next year and the public consultation is the chance for people to have their say on subsidised bus travel and how the budget we have available for next year can be best spent."
In brief the options are:
- Option 1: This is the preferred option as it maintains the greatest number of journeys currently subsidised by the county council – and the lowest subsidy per passenger trip at £1.60. There would be no Dial-A-Ride services
- Option 2: Maintains fewer bus journeys, but maintains the South Staffordshire and Staffordshire Moorlands Connect. These Dial-A-Ride services would be subsidised at £8.20 per passenger trip
- Option 3: Protects even fewer supported local bus services, but keeps all four existing Dial-A-Ride services, except Border Car, at an £8.80 subsidy per trip
- Option 4: Provides a county-wide network of dial-a-ride services at an average cost of £10 per passenger journey. No other bus journeys will be subsidised
As well as continuing to subsidise some journeys the council remains committed to helping the community and voluntary schemes to flourish.
Full details of the options and how to have your say will be available when the consultation goes live on July 24 at www.staffordshire.gov.uk/busreview
The consultation runs for eight weeks and closes on September 17. People can have their say online or find out more at their local libraries from later that week.
The final option will be agreed by Cabinet in the autumn and changes implemented in April 2018.

When I was in my twenties and living in other parts of Canada, there was nothing I enjoyed more than bringing my friends home to Newfoundland. I couldn't wait to show the place off with visits to George Street (hot Nfld guys), Cape Spear (the most easterly point in North America) and Signal Hill (great for parking with the boys you meet on George St.) What I loved more than anything was that those friends fell in love with Newfoundland too.
When I started writing romance, I couldn't imagine a better setting for my stories. There's such a mix of urban and rural cultures, and I love the juxtaposition between the two. Over the years I've submitted to traditional publishers and received the subsequent rejection letters. I often wondered if it was the location. I even thought about changing it, but in the end, I know who I am as a writer. I'm a Newfoundlander, and for me, the greatest compliment I think a reader could ever give me is to feel compelled to learn more about this awesome rock in the sea. That's why I decided to self-publish Against Her Rules. This novel wouldn't be the story it is if it were set anywhere else.
I believe without great characters, especially the supporting cast, and a setting ripe for romance, a novel just can't flow. One of the most interesting things that's happened since publishing Against Her Rules is the feedback from my fellow Newfoundlanders. They're surprised they are enjoying a romance set here. I guess if you live in a place you can't always see the beauty. I sometimes wonder if I hadn't lived away for so much of my adult years if I would see it myself? But I'm so glad I do.
One of my favourite passages in the novel has nothing to do with the romance—it's the reaction my hero, Cam, has when he first spots the Heart's Ease Inn. Here's an excerpt:
At first glance you'd think this was a desolate place. Its isolation and the sparse landscape made you think of loneliness. But then subtle things stood out. The blue jays fighting over seeds in a feeder shaped like the sun. Crisp white sheets flapping in the air, despite the mist, the clothesline dancing in the wind. Even the way all the tips of the small juniper trees pointed in the same direction.
Looking toward the water, the view was breathtaking. White caps formed on the waves, and still he could see gulls riding them out with ease, as if this was their own personal surfer's nirvana.
Shutting off the engine, he stepped out and took a deep breath. The wet, cool air filled his lungs. He smiled. This might be a good project after all.

The name was suggested by Wanneroo Joondalup RSL warden and WA Naval Association of Australia secretary Douglas Valeriani.
Mr Valeriani, who has raised the flag at the memorial every day for the past eight years, said the path had not been named before and Walk of Remembrance felt 'fitting'.
'I firmly believe that today's citizens owe a great debt to those that made the supreme sacrifice so we can enjoy our life in freedom,' he said.
'I once saw a saying, 'We gave up our tomorrows, so you could have your todays'. This is so true.'
Wanneroo Cr Dot Newton presented a report to name the path and it received unanimous support at the April 29 council meeting.
'The naming of the pathway will acknowledge that this area has our respect for those men and women who gave their lives in order that we may live in freedom,' the report said.
The naming will require about $500 depending on the materials for the signage.

Kundiman Day 1 1/2
The students arrived yesterday and it was good to see some familiar faces. We had a circle meeting after dinner where we introduced ourselves and it rained. Outside one of the windows, you could see the water pouring down the steps in a large stream.
In the evening, we shared one poem. All the poets were fantastic. We were even in tears for some of the readings.
I picked up Lawson Inada later that evening and he was is usual self: charming as all heck. I consider Lawson kindred of sorts because we know some of the same Japanese American families from my home town.
The next day, we did the usual orientation stuff and students broke into their respective workshop groups. I'm a bit tired at the moment, since I didn't get to bed until around 2AM and I've been up since 7AM. I'm on a break right now, so I may take a nap.
Anyway, I've been snapping away with my digital camera, so I'll post some pictures soon.

STUDIOCANAL has nicely sent over a nice little featurette about the making of the film. Not only that, it also talks about Germans on "British soil" when they invaded the Channel Islands.
It's not only a romance but there seems to be a mystery wrapped up in the film with our heroine determined to discover the truth behind someone's disappearance.
Lily James plays free-spirited journalist Juliet Ashton, who forms a life-changing bond with the delightful and eccentric Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, when she decides to write about the book club they formed during the occupation of Guernsey in WWII.

OF Cody Asche assigned to LHV for Major League rehab assignment.
LHP Mario Hollands assigned to LHV for Major League rehab assignment.
RHP Ben Lively promoted to LHV from Reading (AA).
RHP Mark Appel placed on the DL (right shoulder strain).
Printable Roster
Lively wears #19, Asche gets #40, Hollands #41
The IronPigs have now made 40 transactions over 46 games
We touched on Mark Appel earlier in today's "IronPigs Today" column. It's not a good thing, and I'm hoping for the best because I really like the player and I really like the guy.
I'm not sure Hollands ever played for the 'Pigs, did he? I kinda remember him making the Phillies from AA a couple years ago. He looked decent in Reading the other night. 90-92 T93 if I recall. He was pounding the bottom of the zone and looked to have some decent movement on his pitches.
Lively finally makes AAA after spending parts of this and the previous two seasons at AA, since coming over from the Reds organization (ironically, getting his first AAA start against their affiliate tonight) for OF Marlon Byrd. He's really had 47 starts at AA, and it's about time for the next test. Many were predicting his start this season to be in AAA; however, with the log-jam of starters and his uninspiring numbers last season, you could really see why they started him in AA–as they did with Asher. Lively has thrown better this season, too. He's keeping the ball lower and controlling his fastball better, which is allowing his secondary pitches to play up. While his walks and strikeouts are similar this season, he's doing much better at pitching to contact and getting quick outs.
Asche hasn't looked great so far in his rehab, but Monday night when I saw him in Reading, he was just missing on a few pitches. He should get his timing down as he works here, and hopefully we can be the beneficiary of some big games before he goes back up to the big leagues. He's one guy who's certainly done it at Coca Cola Park before!
See you at the park,

Eating in is so much more easy than going out and more affordable and tasty. Here are two good reasons:
I made pot roast again. It was a precooked one for $11 from Costco. Morton's of Omaha, USDA Choice! It is really fabulous. It comes in a plastic bag and you heat it up by boiling it in hot water or the microwave. So while I was boiling...;-) I chopped up some fresh beets and carrots. I tossed them generously in Garlic infused olive oil, kosher salt, Italian seasoning and lots of cracked black pepper. 425 degrees for 30 minutes and you are good to go. So delicious!
A friend of mine told me today that fresh beets and goat cheese were made for each other. In tasting the raw root veges I got inspired with a raw vegetable/salad idea. I'll be making it as soon as I get more fresh beets! They taste like earth! Stay tuned for more healthy paleo-inspired eats!
One of my all time favs is below. It consists of beef tenderloin, salt pepper, sweet potato and heat. Oh and some good Pinot Noir. Not too shabby for a Monday night dinner. The plate looks unfinished and meager without a salad but this post is about the food, not the photo of the food!
I bought the peeled beef tenderloin from Costco and it's great! I cut 10 substantial steaks from the $50 piece of meat. I've used their unpeeled ($4/lb less expensive) tenderloin and you truly lose a lot of meat skinning the sinew, fat and connective tissue off of it. So I was happy that they sell a tenderloin ready to cut into steaks or cook in one piece. I highly recommend it. It's an easy, fancy, delicious paleo meal. Throw the left over steak on a salad the next day. Or make an extra steak specifically for that reason!

Fox News Has Best Quarter Ever/
Thanks to Donald Trump, Fox News just had the highest-rated quarter ever in cable news history in 24-hour viewership.
Fox News once again topped cable in both primetime and total day according to Nielsen Media Research. E
From 6AM-11PM, Fox's program lineup broke a network record with the highest-rated hours ever for a quarter.
The O'Reilly Factor not only had its highest-rated quarter ever in history, but it broke all previous records in cable news history for the highest-viewership ever for any given program in a quarter.
While CNN boss Jeff Zucker has called this the "golden age of CNN," his network showed the least amount of growth in the quarter.
MSNBC also had record growth in total viewers, jumping 55%. in total viewers. But the network still finds itself well behind Fox News in the ratings.

The victim of alleged racist abuse on a Manchester tram has spoken about his ordeal saying he feels Brexit may have 'pushed people' to justify this behaviour.
The incident occurred yesterday morning when Juan Jasso, a U.S Army veteran, was told to 'get back to Africa' reports the Manchester Evening News.
Two men, aged 18 and 20 were arrested in connection with the incident and have been released on bail. A 16-year-old boy is still in custody.
Mr Jasso, a sport lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University, said things escalated after he confronted the three passengers for using foul language.
He told Channel 4 News:
It was really early in the morning, there was children about and I could tell from other people's faces on the tram they didn't really appreciate the language which they were using.
I thought I would step up and say something, and I didn't really appreciate it either.
"I consider the UK to be my home" – the American man who was verbally abused on a Manchester tram speaks to Jon Snow.
Posted by Channel 4 News on Tuesday, June 28, 2016
Mr Jasso said he did not feel threatened by the men, but that it may not be a good idea for other people to challenge trouble makers because: "You don't know how they're going to react."
When asked by John Snow if he thought the attack was anything to do with the Brexit vote he replied:
I think there was an undertone there before, but I think the result maybe has pushed people to justify that they think it's okay now to act out in this way, which obviously it's not.
It's not acceptable in any terms, in any way, shape or form, because obviously people feel threatened by it and people are coming here to contribute.
Mr Jasso said it was only the second incident of its type he had experienced in his 18 years in the UK.
However it is feared the referendum result may have led to a rise in racially motivated attacks as some sources claim a 57 per cent increase in reported hate crimes since Friday.

I don't often do this, but I wanted to share a personal journal entry from earlier this year. As many of you have gotten to know me, you know that I often look back at times in my life that when situations feel hard or things seem particularly great. I always try to learn from what I did that was working or maybe how I got it one situation or another.
