It was HALLOWEEN 2007 when I mentioned here in my blog this 1998 compilation CD entitled "Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Halloween" and so It's about time to feature the CD itself here on my little blog "The Doctor Is In" for MY HALLOWEEN WEEK 2009 Special. So how did the term HALLOWEEN evolved? Halloween which is originally spelled Hallowe'en is shortened from All Hallows' Even – e'en which is a shortening of even, which is a shortening of evening. This is ultimately derived from the Old English "Eallra Hālgena ǣfen".It has It's roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian holy day of All Saints Day. Here in MANILA It's most associated with the EVE of UNDAS(All Saints' Day), which is November 1st which is then followed by "All Souls Day" which is November 2nd. YUP!! HALLOWEEN is on the EVE of October 31st.
It was 2001 when I purchased this CD on the now Defunct TOWER RECORDS at MAKATI. Originally released back in 1998 by Rhino/Wea, this 15-track collection of basically HALLOWEEN MUSIC spans on the NEW WAVE GENRE and It's SUB-GENRES. It brings about the danceable and noisy music that's very fit for the occasion. My favorite in this compilation would be OINGO BOINGO's "Dead Man's Party". Hmmmp!! The song title speaks for itself. He He He!! Some dark and eerie music in the line-up like THE RAMONES "Pet Sematary", B-52's' "Devil in My Car" and of course who wouldn't forget the SIX SONGS in the compilation with the same title "HALLOWEEN". Well, we also have THE DEAD KENNEDYS in the CD which I featured here on my blog before. So do we hear goblins, witches, and any of those creatures of the dark? Naaah!! PINOY are just well-known to be very superstitious. This is indeed a great compilation of Halloween Party music that would keep you awake all night long. Ha Ha Ha!! I uploaded the whole CD but due to lack of time I wasn't able to indicate the song titles and the artists on each music file. The TRACKLIST is already here so It would at least help you okay. So guys just ENJOY THE MUZIC!! We JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH right?

6 Industry secrets to Making The Most Money Your Vacant Baton Rouge Property or home
After you get done laughing, you're probably asking yourself… why is that baby so freaked out about house vacancy? Trust us, it's for a good reason! There are many dangers that come along with owning a vacant property, but luckily, for you, we have created —
1. Get Rid of It Quickly, Or Else…
Sell a vacant home swiftly is essential. Liabilities of a empty property can include:
Wanton damage and Theft
Trespassing or Squatting
Weather Deterioration
Ignoring Regular Maintenance
Fire or Water Damage
2. Determine the Retail Value & Make Your Best Guess For the Cost of Repairs
Having an appraisal gives you credibility as a seller, and reduces the time taken to negotiate. Buyers who can see an appraisal will feel more comfortable with your asking price and, in-turn, with their offer price. Whether or not you plan to fix the property before you sell, make certain to get repair estimates from more than one contractor. Your "handy dandy cousin" may "know" what s/he is talking about, but believe me, ask for many different professional opinions it will save you time, money, and give you a step up when negotiating the sales price. Make the negotiations as hassle-free as possible on yourself… get quotes on any percieved problems/needed repairs.
3. Leave The Utilities On!
Papa, always insisted that you turn off the lights before you left, but in this case leave the utilities on:
Keeping the utilities on will help prevent weather damage
If the utilities are shut off, the buyers get the idea that the property is in need of more repairs than it actually does, for example, "Well, sweetheart the lights, heater/ac, or water don't work, that will cost us a pretty penny."
Keeping utilities on will probably also make it more pleasant for everyone visiting the house. It is hot out here in the summer and chilly in the winter.
4. Have To's If You Are Making Repairs
If you are the DIY-er type and want to get the house ready before sale, unless you can produce quality work…. please don't. First of all, you will have to spend time and money on the house, and if the repairs are not extremely effective you will more than likely be throwing your time and money out the window.
If you're going to attempt the repairs yourself, and somehow don't complete all those "super uncomplicated" repairs, make sure to disclose them to the buyer(s). Most people don't know this, but you can still be found culpable for problems you do not notify the buyer about, even in an as-is sale. We're not saying it's not possible, but be sure you measure twice and cut once.
5. Sell The Dream- Stage The House
People buy with their emotions, make your house light, bright, charming, nothing says home more than a batch of freshly baked cookies. Tell me this… who doesn't love the smell of freshly baked cookies.
An empty house with no furniture makes prospecitve buyers work too hard to imagine what it could be.. Staging your house helps buyers see how each space can be used.
6. Lock the House
Lock the house up! To protect your house from criminals, make sure the house does not look vacant. Here's some tips:
It gets dark, the lights come on!
Be sure that miscellaneous items are picked up by someone. One of the best signs that no one is or has been home is the pile-up of phone books, door hangers, newpapers etc. Ask a local community kid, $5 goes a long ways when your 15 yrs old.
Have your trustworthy "local night watch" neighbor who may or may not have a gun keep an eye on the house. Believe you me- s/he'll enjoy the authority/responsibility you've entrusted them with.
Or you can make it look like your house is full of people. Anyone remember the party scene from Home Alone?
You could quite possibly do all the above, or you can call Glymph Properties.

It's titled "2 Owls". The media is mixed (ink, handmade paper and acrylic paint on canvas). The canvas is 1.5" deep so it can stand on its own without hanging. Or, you can hang the work.
Beatrice also made this lovely drawing of a ladybug that's been attached to canvas in a similar fashion to the "2 Owls". This piece is entitled "Ladybug". It is 6x6" in size and is 1.5" deep so it can be hung on the wall or stand on its own.

Ten Sails
Ten Sails handmade from a batch of reclaimed English oak timbers. Rescued by Sticks & Stone the timbers previously were a part of Chatham Dockyard in Kent. This historic dockyard was closed in 1984 & has been subject to renovation since then. The beam used to create the Chatham Steps would have once formed a part of an original historic building on the site.
The Royal Dockyard at Chatham closed in 1984. This brought an end to the 400 years of fleet support and warship design, building and repair on the River Medway. Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust was established & was tasked with the stewardship of the dockyard.
The Historic Dockyard is the most complete dockyard of the age of sail in the world. There has been a continuous process of investment since 1984. The majority of the dilapidated buildings & infrastructure have been renovated so they are safe to be used once more. The removal of timbers from these buildings meant that we were able to rescue them from this site.
Chatham Dockyard depicts all elements of the age of the ship-building process from ship design through the preparation and working of timber and iron, the manufacture of rope, sails, flags, paints, rolled lead and galvanised iron, to ship construction, repair and refit on the slips and in the dry docks. The Ten Sails is full of the dockyards history through the character in the timber & the addition of refurbished metal work.
This wine rack is a characterful piece full of heritage. As it's name suggests the Ten Sails can hold 10 bottles of your favourite wine.

Lopez will sign a one-year deal for the team's bi-annual exception, worth $3.382M, after spending last season with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Detroit Pistons
Pistons' Andre Drummond Says Pairing with Blake Griffin 'Nightmare' for Teams
Detroit Pistons big man Andre Drummond is a big fan of playing alongside forward Blake Griffin and believes it gives the Pistons an edge over their opponents.
In fact, Drummond believes that he and Griffin pose a "nightmare" challenge for opposing teams.
"I think for me, my job is to make his game as easy as possible on the offensive end. When I get him open, he usually makes the right plays," Drummond said, accordig to The Associated Press.
"It's a nightmare for teams. You've got to really pick your poison, who you really want to get going, and it's scary when we both get it going."
Drummond is putting in a solid season, averaging 17.4 points and 15.0 rebounds per game this season.
Eastern Conference
Heat's Dwyane Wade Reflect on Final All-Star Game
After making his final appearance at an NBA All-Star game as an active player, Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade took time to reflect on the experience as he enters the final few months of his NBA playing career.
"Whatever my legacy is and whatever it will become, it's what I've been building since anybody ever heard my name or before that," said Wade, soon turning his attention to the remainder of the season, according to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
"So at the end of the day, when it's over, I think that the respect that I've been getting from fans around the world, fans in arenas, the players that I'm playing against, that's the thing that makes me fill my heart with joy. Because I just want a respect for what I bring to the table, and that's in both on the court and off the court. And I've been getting that."
Wade will be calling it a career at the end of the season.
"So I've just got to keep it going. I'm 37 years old, I'm a young man in life. I've got a long life ahead of me, and I'm destined to do other things that's great. So see what that is."
Boston Celtics
Celtics' Jayson Tatum Addresses Trade Rumors
Ever since New Orleans' Pelicans superstar Anthony Davis put in a trade demand rumors have been running non-stop about which teams, and which players, will be a part of his exit from New Orleans.
One player in particular, Boston Celtics' star Jayson Tatum, has been rumored to be a main piece in a potential trade that would land Davis in Boston.
Tatum, isn't concerned with the constant chatter.
"And my response is always the same; control what I can control, I don't take it personal. I understood coming in that it is a business. They have to make the best decision for them, whatever that may be. Especially right now; I can't control it." Tatum said, according to NBC Sports' A.Sherrod Blakely.
"You learn pretty quickly that when you are under contract, you don't have too much say-so," Tatum said.

Hello friends!
I'm taking a break from the Toddler Boxes this week. No worries...more are coming! With all the beautiful weather we've been having, I wanted to share a super easy outdoor game to play with your kiddos. I call it Letter Hop!
Start by writing all the letters of the alphabet on the ground using chalk. We used our driveway, but the sidewalk is good too. You could probably even use any flat space at your local playground as well. Then, all you do is call out letters for your kids to find. Abbey knows all of her letters, and LOVES to play letter games, so this is perfect for her. She loves to jump on the letters I ask her to find.
There are lots of ways to personalize this game to keep your kids interested. Ask for the letter sound instead of the letter, or have early spellers spell out words. Tons of options!
Another bonus? You can get your kids moving! Have them hop, skip and jump to different letters.
p.s. Can we talk about those pigtails for a second? They're pretty much my favorite thing right now!
Now...on to more fun. It's Kid's Co-Op time! Link up your fun stuff, and check out all the goodies! Remember, if you link up here, your link will show up at over 60 different blogs!

Last week, Tom Woods interviewed Ralph Nader about left-right cooperation on his daily radio show and the OffNow campaign came up in the conversation.
Nader rose to prominence as a consumer advocate and political activist. He recently released a book titled Unstoppable: The Emerging Left-Right Alliance to Dismantle the Corporate State. Woods focused the discussion on the power of cooperation between the left and the right on issues where the two sides can find agreement.
"I am very ecumenical in the sense that I want to work with people who agree with me on really really important things," Woods said.
About half way through the interview, Woods brought up OffNow's efforts to stop NSA spying as a perfect example of cooperation across traditional party lines.
Another nice coalition that's forming around the NSA, and I'm happy to see, among left and right," Woods said, going on to explain the strategy of shutting off water and other resources to the NSA at the state and local level.
"We can't control Washington D.C. right now, but we can do things at the local level, and you've got people all over the spectrum working together," Woods said.
Nader agreed, saying cooperation leads to success.
"Once you have a left-right tidal wave heading for Washington from around the country, the politicians run for cover."
That's the goal of the OffNow campaign: to work with like-minded people across the political spectrum and create a tidal wave that will obliterate illegal spying.
OffNow has enjoyed a great deal of success in joining individuals and organizations that normally don't play in the same sandbox. From Tea Party groups to Greenpeace, people with vastly divergent viewpoints have come together agreeing that warrantless spying must stop and then working together to make that happen. We even cracked party lines in several state legislatures with Republicans and Democrats cosponsoring the Fourth Amendment Protection Act.
The political class in Washington D.C. wants to keep us divided and fighting among ourselves. That way, it can continue its bipartisan attack on our civil liberties without any interference. It's time Americans realize that an out of control, unaccountable power-hungry federal government presents a true threat, come together and create that tidal wave.
Get involved with the OffNow campaign through the links below.

Full disclosure: I met J. Kelly Hoey about a year ago when she came to Detroit, as part of the Comcast Tomorrow Tour. I had been following her on Twitter for a while, and she was always super nice and engaging. When I saw she was going to be speaking in my city, I had to go. And much to my surprise, she was the same way, in real life, as she was on social media (Rare, I know).
Later, when she announced she was releasing a book, January 2017 couldn't come fast enough. Why? I knew "networking," as I had experienced it, was broken and I wanted to know how to fix it. I also knew, first hand, she was a natural at the art of networking. Trust me when I say that Build Your Dream Network is the essential networking playbook. Here are a few of the main takeaways I learned from the book:
Making Genuine Connections
Build Your Dream Network makes crystal clear what networking should be about versus what a lot of us had experienced – making genuine connections. Networking isn't about seeing how you can wrangle your way into using other people to get what you want, it's about giving as much, if not more, than you get and continuing to nurture the connections that you make.
Look To Help
One point that Hoey makes in the book, that made total sense and completely eases the pain of networking, is the mindset of looking to help. When you approach networking from a mindset of giving versus getting, it completely erases nervousness and tension. Looking to help others shifts the focus from you and puts it on those you're meeting, resulting in genuine engagement.
Choose Wisely
Some of the traditional networking advice that I'd heard, in the past, from "experts" is that you should always be out networking and meeting as many people as you can. Personally, following that line of advice had led me to attend many an event, with no clear objective, resulting in a lot of wasted time. Build Your Dream Network clarifies that, in order to make the most of networking, you have to do your homework ahead of time and establish clear objectives. Bottom line: If you can't explain what you plan to accomplish by attending a networking event, you shouldn't go. Being selective about the events you attend and setting clear objectives will save you a lot of time, energy and frustration.
In an ever connected world, it's essential that we all learn to master the fine art of networking. Social media makes it super easy for us to access just about anyone, anywhere, at anytime. Learning to translate that access into genuine, real life connections, however, is what truly matters. Build Your Dream Network will help you do just that.

January starts a new year with Cookbook Countdown. Why don't you choose a book, or two, or more, from your cookbook shelf and join in?
Afterthought: I very much liked that the pressure cooker saved forty-five minutes of cooking time for this dish, and will definitely look at similar recipes. It occurred to me later, though, that the house didn't have the wonderful smell of an Indian dinner, either during and after the cooking.

I have been asking myself this question my whole life. Several "quirks" have set me firmly apart from normalcy for as far back as I can remember. Certain things that seem easy to regular folks,take heroic levels of concentration for me. Smells and sounds that don't bother other people can make me flee to a dark,quiet room.
Pain is more intense for me than it is for normal people. Actually,EVERYTHING is more intense. There is growing physical evidence of it. You can feel it if you touch the muscles that make up my back or neck,or run your fingers over my scalp. My muscles are ropey and knotted. I'm an active,ambitious person but the intensity and the pain make me tired. So tired that,often,my mind just shuts down. My IQ drops from 125 to about…I don't know,right now I'm too tired to do math in my head.
These quirks have slowed down my one overarching goal in life - to change the world.
There have been other distractions as well –business,motherhood and marriage.
Besides figuring out how to change the world,and nurturing my beloved distractions,my life has been a quest to find out exactly what is wrong with me and exactly what I can do to make it better. This quest has led me in and out of the offices of healers of every stripe.
My quest has led me to read hundreds of books on physical and mental disorders,psychology,neurobiology,self-help,nutrition,exercise,human and animal behavior,parenting,cognitive evolution,spirituality and emotional healing.
I have tried on (and eventually discarded) diagnoses and labels too numerous to list.
If you have similar quirks and would like to read what I found most helpful. You can find some of the better books at the Sensorina Store . Purchase your books there and help support Sensorina,and me.
A couple of good reads about "Sensitivity"to get you started…
"The Highly Sensitive Person."
"Too Loud,Too Bright,Too Fast,Too Tight."
And,if you want to change the world —you'll find my most recommended book on that topic there as well.

Manage your copyright online
As a copyright owner, get the tools to manage your content, find videos with matching content, and apply the right policies to control your content.
Protect your copyright on YouTube
Fans from around the world come to YouTube to watch their favorite content, whether it's Psy showing his iconic dance moves in "Gangnam Style" or Life Noggin answering questions such as "Why Do We Cry?" YouTube's tools help our partners and creators share digital content with a massive audience while exercising control over their intellectual property.
YouTube has actively worked with government policymakers, industry representatives, and creators to protect individual expression and intellectual property. We've also invested heavily in technologies like Content ID to support rights management across our platform. Since being launched, Content ID has generated over $2 billion to rightsholders.
As a business on YouTube, to open up opportunities for maximizing your revenue, you'll want to devote sufficient resources to copyright management. By doing so, you can protect your intellectual property and (if you have access to Content ID) effectively monetize user-generated content that uses your copyrighted material.
Distinguish Content ID claims from copyright takedowns
Copyright owners have several recourses to handle infringing content on YouTube. If you have Content ID enabled for your business, we recommend completing the "Rights enforcement with Content ID" course.
Content ID claims
Content ID is an industry-leading copyright technology that provides rightsholders with new ways to manage and monetize their content on YouTube. Launched in 2007, Content ID compares videos uploaded to the site with reference files provided by rightsholders. Think of this as a digital fingerprint that Content ID derives from a source and then compares against potential matches.
When a video matches a source, it is "claimed", and rightsholders can choose to make money from it; leave it up and track viewing statistics; or block it from YouTube. The majority of partners monetize their claims, but if you choose to block, we immediately block the video from being viewed and alert the uploader.
Copyright takedowns
YouTube complies with notices of copyright infringement pursuant to the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and in line with the notice-and-takedown provisions of applicable national law. DMCA takedowns are formal, legal requests that require specific elements in order to be complete and actionable. The fastest way to do this is via our webform. We also accept free-form copyright infringement notifications, submitted by email, fax, and mail.
Remember to verify your rights and consider factors such as fair use or fair dealing before submitting a copyright takedown notification. You must include your contact information, signature, video URL, and other specific elements with your notification.
Note: In accordance with copyright law, we require complete copyright notifications for each removal request. If we receive a valid infringement notification, we remove the video from YouTube and issue a "copyright strike" to the uploader. Users who receive three strikes may have their accounts terminated.
Methods to manage copyright on YouTube
Content ID claim
Copyright takedown
You apply for access to the tool You must be signed in to complete the webform Scans an unlimited number of videos 10 URL limit per complaint Immediate enforcement of policy Quick removal per DMCA/notice-and-takedown process No copyright strike for user
Copyright strike for user
Partner responsibility
While YouTube has a robust system for processing takedown requests, it's your responsibility to use the system correctly. Only initiate a copyright takedown when you have a good faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, agent, or law. Misuse of the process may result in account suspension or legal consequences.
Content ID is designed to streamline rights management, but you should always operate within the scope of your rights. For example, if you've licensed news footage for a documentary video, you may be able to share that video on YouTube, but not claim other videos that have licensed the same footage. Abusive or fraudulent claims may result in penalties including legal liability and termination of partnership.
Did you know?
- YouTube has paid out more than $2 billion to rightsholders who have chosen to monetize claims for user-uploaded videos.
- Our Content ID system won an Engineering Emmy in 2013, cited as a "unique achievement that operates at unparalleled scale."
Evaluate disputes and counter-notifications
If a video on YouTube has been claimed through Content ID or removed due to a copyright takedown, the uploader should assess who has the appropriate rights (or whether it's a legitimate case of fair use). When copyrighted material was included without explicit permission, the uploader may delete the video or seek to license the content from the rightsholder.
However, if the uploader has sufficient rights (or believes the video qualifies as fair use), they may choose to contest a Content ID claim or copyright takedown by filing a dispute or counter notification, respectively.
Claim disputes and next steps
Content ID claims can be disputed by the video uploader, from the "Copyright Notices" section.
Action Result
- Disputes a Content ID claim
- Temporarily suspends the claim
The claimant (who owns the Content ID asset) is notified of the dispute, and can take one of three actions. If no action is taken within 30 days, the claim is released.
Action Result
- Releases the claim
- Makes the claim inactive
- Reinstates the claim
- Makes the claim active again
- Issues a takedown
- Removes the video
For a summary of the entire dispute process, including appeals, read here.
Counter notifications and next steps
Counter notifications for takedowns must be submitted by the video's original uploader or an authorized agent such as an attorney, using the webform in the "Copyright Notices" section.
Action Result
- Submits a counter notification
- Forwards information to the claimant
Once a counter notification is initiated, the claimant (who filed the copyright takedown) will have 10 business days to seek a court order to keep the content down. If YouTube doesn't receive evidence of action filed, we'll restore the content and resolve the strike after the 10 business day window has elapsed.
Action Result
- Retract the takedown
- Restores the video on YouTube
- File a court order
- Keeps the content off YouTube
For a summary of the entire counter-notification process, including retractions, read here.
Did you know?
- Retracting a copyright takedown will restore the video on YouTube if it hasn't been deleted by the uploader, and remove the associated copyright strike on the uploader's account.
- If a claimant doesn't respond to a Content ID claim dispute within 30 days, the claim will expire and become inactive.
- If an uploader appeals a Content ID claim you reinstated, you have several options as the content owner, including issuing a delayed copyright takedown.
Stay clear of copyright violations
Copyright infringement—violating any of the exclusive rights granted by copyright—can have serious consequences. On YouTube, partners get one "partner strike" for every copyright strike issued to a managed channel. Repeated violations may result in suspension of your YouTube partnership.
From a legal perspective, if found guilty of copyright infringement, someone can receive substantial fines (up to $150,000 per work infringed in the U.S.). Violations of copyright law can result in other civil or criminal remedies. For these reasons, it's essential to educate your teams about copyright and YouTube's policies.
As a business, you may have many channels that roll up under your purview. To avoid accumulating partner strikes, consider how you select channels to ensure they pose a minimal risk, and think about what internal controls you can have in place on your channels. Partners may explore counter notices or retractions if the strikes were issued in error.
Because copyright can be complex, we encourage our community to understand the rules. For copyright owners and creators, abiding by these rules can help prevent conflicts and enable a positive experience on YouTube.

Though their love remains strong, the pressure of constant danger has taken its toll on Alice and Daniel's relationship. Paralda's assassins continue their murder spree in New York City, targeting girls who resemble Alice in an effort to fulfill the air king's deadly directive. As if life wasn't complicated enough, the couple must also fiercely guard the secret of Alice's emergent powers and true identity from everyone--including their closest friends--to protect her safety.When I read Lynn's novel Thin Air, the first book in this series, I was mesmerized by Lynn's poetic language and I was very glad to see more of it in Friendly Fire. See my Thin Air review here and since this book is a sequel, I recommend reading book 1 first!
Enter Ash and Terrance: two former elementals, each with their own set of reasons for transmuting to the human plane. For Ash, the material realm represents freedom and the possibility of fulfilling a forbidden wish. Terrance has only one aim in the mortal world: to win Alice's heart. And it seems he'll stop at nothing to achieve his goal.
Alice and Daniel's relationship has become rocky with the ever present threat that looms over her, and they find themselves facing more danger to stay together. This book made me dislike Daniel, a lot. I found myself no longer rooting for them and their relationship (but not rooting for the other leg of this love triangle either). Daniel became an overbearing jerk, trying to control not only Alice's appearance but her as well. I loved him in the first book, but was very disappointed with his change in overall character. I'm sure there's reason to his madness, and it is explained, but I just don't see why she puts up with it.
I've enjoyed following these characters in their growth and getting reintroduced to their friends, especially Dante, and meeting Ash was interesting and heart breaking. I didn't know which direction Lynn planned on taking Ash's character, that was definitely a mystery.
The overall feel of this book is rather depressing, focusing on more and more drama as the pages unfold.
The ending of Friendly Fire was a pure shock to me, I'm still not completely over it. I enjoyed reading more of Alice's story and can't wait to see where Lynn takes the next installment. This book was a fast read for me, but I felt it lacking a little of the surprise element (no pun intended) that I found in book 1, being a second book it is much more than a filler book with quite a bit happening throughout the pages!

Adroc ThurstonRenton's father was a military researcher considered a hero by the military. Original author of the Ageha Plan, which he then sought to have buried as being far too destructive to ever be implemented. His team was conducting experiments involving the Seven Swell phenomenon. It's revealed in a conversation between Eureka and Renton that Adroc vanished during an experiment on the Amita Drive. He prevented the full destructive force of the experiment from being unleashed by removing the Compac/Amita Drive from its socket in the Nirvash, interrupting the transdimension rifting that would have led to the planet's destruction, but in the process was himself taken bodily into the rift it created; nothing of him or his uniform remained, save the Compac/Amita Drive. He was later declared dead, and a massive monument, now largely unvisited by an uninterested public, was erected in his home town of Bellforest.
Adroc has no voice actor throughout the series. The only scenes in which he appears are either narrated flashbacks or non-speaking roles.

Time and Cricket
A complex relationship
Anna Monks
The first time I went to Lords I wondered why the weather vane was forged as Old Father Time. The grim reaper did not seem an obvious motif for a sporting venue. Now I know better: for cricket's complex relationship with Time makes it the great game that it is.
Many sports are played to a time limit and some have a set number of goes: cricket magnificently uses both methods to produce its array of marvellous contests.
If you are following a test match click the image below to find the current time at the ground.
The Cricket Time Equation:
5(Days of Drama) = 1( Great Test Match)
We who love Test Match Cricket experience the full drama of an unfolding day when we watch or hear a game.
The drama starts early with optimistic speculation as the dew dries off the ground. The mid-morning sees batsmen and bowlers asserting their rights at the crease while our stomachs dream of lunch.
The sluggish afternoon plays out for the winning side with hopes of reviving tea.
But the waft of the early evening breeze across the ground awakens us to fresh dramas as the spinners and seamers find their magic or refreshed big hitters send the weary fielders lolloping to the boundary.
Five days sounds such a long time for a game, but the most memorable matches finish with a run chase against the clock on the fifth day or a war of attrition to make it a draw. The Test becomes a mirror for human endeavour as the long awaited deadline produces heroic surges of determination.
The old clock above the pavilion steps is the bowler's friend and the batsman's enemy or is it the other way round? My friends, it depends on the match!

Owning the Beautiful Tanya James
Tanya is a rare beauty with a stunning figure. She's a tall blonde with an amazing rack and legs that go on forever. First, we had Ms. James pose for us in her black and pink outfit. Then, we tied her wrists and yanked down her top and panties exposing her massive tits and sweet pussy. For the finale, we removed her clothing totally and tied her to a chair rigging a vibe to her cunt. Bound and gagged to the chair, Tanya can only give in to the pleasures and that's exactly what she does as we vibe her until she cums like crazy. Beautiful Tanya poses for us as we tie her in red rope and remove her clothing. Her beautiful tits and body serve as perfect fodder for our dastardly plans. Once Tanya is gagged we tie her tightly to the wheel and harness the magic wand to her smooth pussy and flip the switch. Tanya's heaving breasts create a beautiful sight as she begins to submit and mashes her cunt down hard on the vibe's head until she has a colossal orgasm session. First we dress Tanya in some pink lingerie then get her down on the bed so we can take some pictures of her. Then, we get her naked so we can see her amazing body and tie her hands and ankles. After watching Tanya struggle on the mattress, we tie her legs spread-eagle and rig the vibe to her snatch. Tanya writhes on the bed as the vibe teases her clit. Her amazing tits heave and her muffled moans increase in volume as we watch her cum for us. We ask Tanya to pose for us in her blue dress and she willingly complies by slowly displaying her body. We then gag her pretty mouth and Tanya disrobes revealing her amazing tits, long legs and shaven cunt. Next, we take our slave and restrain her to the iron pole in leather straps and harness the wand to her pussy. As the vibe whirs, our strapped slave struggles at first then, gives in and grinds her twat down against the vibe's head until she reaches a shuddering orgasm.

God's Kingdom and the American Dream
If I'm honest with myself, I struggle with the desire to pursue the American Dream. I want a house of my own, two cars and a good stock portfolio. I want to be able to provide what my kids want so that they can live a comfortable life. I want a job that pays well enough that we can save money each month and have enough to give away. I don't want to live paycheck to paycheck. I want to be successful.
What is wrong with desiring success and wealth?
A man once ran up to Jesus and asked him what he needed to do to inherit eternal life. This man had kept all the Ten Commandments but wondered if there was something more. "One thing you lack," Jesus said."Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."
For this man, wealth and success had become an idol. Jesus did not say that there was something inherently wrong about wealth and success, but for this man it was in the way of following Jesus. The man couldn't fathom giving it up.
After a failed small business, we do not have a big bank account or stock portfolio. Thankfully the only debt we have now is school debt. But I am tempted to seek the American Dream and put my trust in money and what it brings. For me, it's Satan's way of shifting my focus away from seeking God's Kingdom.
For now as we focus on seeking God's kingdom, it seems to run contrary to the American Dream. In a lot of ways we are living like missionaries. We did not chose my job for the paycheck but for Kingdom values. We might never be able to buy a house or build a big savings account. At least for Hillary and I seeking Kingdom values instead of the American Dream puts us in a position where we have to trust God for the future. We can't trust in our finances.
What do you think? Can we seek the American Dream AND seek God's Kingdom? How do we balance wealth and success with following Christ?
If you want to dive deeper into these ideas, check out David Platt's book Radical.

The Weight of Mankind
M.L. West, Indo-European Poetry and Myth (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2007), p. 23:Newer› ‹Older
Some myths that occur both in India and in Greece can be traced to the far-reaching influence of Mesopotamia. For instance, in one of the poems of the Greek Epic Cycle, the Cypria, it was related that once upon a time Earth was oppressed by the excessive numbers of people milling about on top of her. Zeus took pity on her and conceived the plan of lightening the burden by means of the Trojan War. A similar myth is found in the Mahābhārata. The earth once complained to Brahmā of the ever-increasing weight of mankind, and Brahmā created death to alleviate the problem. Some have inferred from the coincidence that an Indo-European tradition lies behind the story, although it appears only in a late phase of the Greek epic tradition and at an even later date in India. What is more to the point is that a similar myth is attested over a thousand years earlier in Mesopotamia. The natural conclusion is that the Greek and the Indian poets were both using a motif somehow derived from Mesopotamia, not one inherited from Graeco-Aryan antiquity.56
56 Cypria fr. 1; MBh. 1.58, 3.142, 11.8.20–6, 12.248–50, etc.; V. Pisani, ZDMG 103 (1953), 127 f. = Schmitt (1968), 156 f.; id. (1969), 64 f.; Durante (1976), 61; W. Ruben, Sitzb. Ak. Wiss. DDR 1973 (24), 50–5; C. Vielle in L. Isebaert and R. Lebrun (edd.), Quaestiones Homericae (Louvain–Namur 1998), 275–90; West (1997), 480–2.

I would like to suggest and alternate recipe. As far as freeware tools go, You might want to look into PHP3, it fits the bill of a "Dynamic Page Language". Its free, well supported, runs on most platforms, I think there is even a Win32 version. It runs as an Apache-Mod (so its fast) and has a lot of hooks into Databases built in.

Full Question
A recent court case involved a situation in which a prison system had taped a prisoner's confession without his knowledge or the priest's. (The prisoner and the priest communicated through a glass partition, I understand.) A Protestant minister told me that the tape should be allowed in court because the Bible requires us to tell the truth, not keep secrets, and thus there is no basis for a priest-penitent privilege.
The Protestant minister is flat-out wrong. There are multiple verses in the Bible that talk about not revealing secrets (e.g., Prv 11:13, 12:23). While there is a biblical requirement not to lie, there is no biblical requirement to spill all the truth one knows whenever anyone asks.
Second, the minister appears to admit that the attorney-client privilege is valid and to be honored. But if what he says about the Bible requiring full disclosure to the authorities were true, this would demolish the attorney-client privilege as well, since what the Bible says about truth-telling applies just as much to lawyers as it does to priests.
Third, society deems the attorney-client privilege beneficial, even if some guilty people go free because of it. How much more beneficial is the priest-penitent privilege, which entails a requirement of true contrition! The advantage to the many in knowing that their sins will not be broadcast justifies the practice, even though it means some people guilty of criminal offenses (which are by no means the worst offenses discussed during confession) will escape civil (though not divine) justice.
Fourth, the Bible requires us to confess our sins to others (Jas 5:16). On the Protestant model one confesses to just anybody and does so for purely therapeutic purposes, not for absolution. Even in that model the confider-confidant privilege would be needed. People need to know that their sins will not be publicly revealed, or they will not confess them.
Finally, Catholics believe that the priest, in administering sacraments, assumes the role of Christ; what is said by the penitent is as inviolate as anything said directly to God in prayer.

Whenever speaking, to religious people, on the topic of personal perspectives, I, often, find the term, atheist, to be, a bit, confusing, for many. It's not hard to see, why, they get hung up, on the idea of, "You don't believe in god?", because the very word means, nothing more than, I don't believe in god/s. It leaves open, so many, other possible beliefs. It is also, as David Eller pointed out in his book,"Atheism Advanced", it speaks the "Christian language", using their terms and concepts, to describe what we think. I like his suggestion, to use the term "discredist" as a more comprehensive description, of our views. But, after hearing of the term "Pearlist", I feel like my pesonal veiws, on everything, are quiet accurately described, by this term. Hence, this group was created to promote the idea, and discover how other people feel, about the subject.

I am anxiously awaiting a home cooked meal from Joe.
That's right friends, no hotdogs and macaroni to be had tonight. Homemade mini cheeseburger pies. I found the recipe on Pinterest, made them one football afternoon, and Joe loved them. Now we have finally recovered from holiday weirdness, and are getting back to our schedule, so Sundays are once again Joe's night to cook. Though if I were a smart lady, I would change that to Wednesdays so I don't have to worry about cooking after lab. But that's alright, because it means that I have perfectly lazy Sundays. I've watched two Hallmark movies already today (no judging).
We visited First Baptist today, and the people were really nice, but a lady gave a "testimony" that turned into a 45 minute advertisement about the crisis pregnancy center. Which is fine, I guess, but it's not a testimony. And then the pastor proceeded to quote some crazy inaccurate statistics about abortion and threw in some bible verses here and there and it was the hardest I've ever tried not to roll my eyes ever. We will probably end up back at the Presbyterian church with the stuffy music but sermons based on truth. So there's that.
Things are going well for us, I think. We are in the midst of transition and learning, but not freaking out (yet). Joe is now speaking to the ground beef as it cooks, so I should probably go check on that. He tries, and that's what counts!

Aviation Hall Of Fame Honors Six
The National Aviation Hall of Fame, based in Dayton, Ohio, this week announced the names of six aviators who will join its roster of air and space pioneers in 2014. The list includes Alan and Dale Klapmeier, founders of Cirrus Aircraft; Emily Warner, who flew for Frontier Airlines in the 1970s; the late Steve Wittman, of Oshkosh; Bert Acosta, an early 20th-century test pilot; and USAF Brig. Gen. James McDivitt, whose career spanned the Korean War and the Apollo program. The list was unveiled at a dinner held in Dayton on Tuesday to celebrate the 110th anniversary of the Wright brothers' historic flight in Kitty Hawk.�A black-tie dinner and ceremony to honor the aviators will be held in Dayton in October. The public is invited; tickets are available from NAHF.
Candidates for the Hall of Fame are nominated and voted on each year by a group of more than 120 aviation professionals. NAHF, a nonprofit group, was founded in 1962 and operates a 17,000-square-foot public Learning Center in Dayton, adjacent to the National Museum of the United States Air Force. The Learning Center features interactive exhibits, a youth education program, and public outreach programs, and the October enshrinement ceremony is held there. The NAHF has so far inducted 219 air and space pioneers.

In a multi-step progression, Heschel administrators guide our 8th grade students and parents to select high school programs to which the student is most qualified, as well as to those which are well aligned with the family's educational goals and philosophy. Each November, Heschel hosts a High School Night in which eighth grade students and their parents are invited to hear a panel of Heschel alumni articulate their experiences from a range of schools, both public and private... Jewish day schools as well as secular independent schools.
We offer to meet with each family to discuss options and prioritize their interests. After students are accepted to their individual schools, administrators work with families to evaluate their options and decide on a school that will offer their children maximum success. Administrators visit prospective schools and meet with Directors of Admission to ensure a smooth transition for our students. In addition, Heschel administrators follow up with a meeting to learn of the progress and success of each student. Our students demonstrate a high rate of acceptance to their top choices and thrive in their respective schools.
Recent graduates are currently attending a variety of respected independent and public schools including The Archer School for Girls, Brentwood School, The Buckley School, Calabasas High School, Campbell Hall, Chaminade College Preparatory School, Cleveland High School, Granada Hills High School, Harvard-Westlake, Los Angeles County High School for the Arts, LA Hebrew High, Marlborough School for Girls, Milken Community High School, New Community Jewish High School, Notre Dame, Oak Park High School, Oakwood School, Providence High School, Sierra Canyon School, Taft High School, Thousand Oaks High School, and Viewpoint School.
"The Heschel journey is distinct for every child. Working with parents, we guide students on a path that is compatible with their aspirations and abilities."
--Larry Kligman
Head of School

I've just read this article about the future of education and several new tendencies that are taking place, and I found it really interesting.
Here are some excerpts:
"Around the globe, economies are shifting away from machine-focused industries and toward human-powered creative industries. Many adults are caught in the middle of this awkward shift, educated for the industrial age but trying to make a living in the information age. In an uncertain moment, they can be nervous about letting young people find their own way forward."
"John Abbott, director of the 21st Century Learning Initiative, has thought a lot about these issues and surmises that society must decide what it wants to be: interconnected individuals responsible to a community or a world filled with "consumers," dependent on products, services and authority figures. Shifting to an education model that produces people who thrive on interconnectivity will take a dramatic revisioning of society. But that type of shift might be just what is required to ensure that the education children receive in the future meets that dramatically different end goal."

Learn What Vitamins And Minerals Are Good For Fertility
Your nutrition is important when trying to get pregnant. Below are extracts from my fertility book on what vitamins and supplements to take to increase your chance of conceiving and having a healthy baby.
You should try and have most of these vitamins in your daily diet, depending upon your infertility problem.
Agnus castus - can help to reduce PMS and regulate the menstrual cycle. However, it may have an effect on fertility hormones and could increase levels of LH, oestrogens or progesterone. I therefore do not recommend taking this supplement if trying for a baby. If you have PMS or an irregular menstrual cycle, acupuncture and Chinese herbs can be used instead.
Alpha lipoic Acid (ALA) - also known as thioctic acid. It's present in the body in small quantities where it reacts with B group vitamins to speed up metabolic reactions needed for energy production. It's a powerful antioxidant that enhances other antioxidants such as Vitamin C and E. I recommend a daily dose of 50-100mg.
Bee pollen - is a rich source of protein and vitamin B12 and is considered one of nature's most completely nourishing foods for people. In Chinese medicine, it is used to enhance jing, yin and blood levels. I recommend a daily dose of 2-5g.
Beta-carotene - is converted in vitamin A only when the body needs it. It is an antioxidant and can help to prevent damage by free radicals. Do not take if you have hypothyroidism. Beta-carotene can be found in spirulina, apricots, sweet potatoes, broccoli, pumpkin, carrots, mangoes and peaches. I recommend a daily dose of 3-6mg. Men should reduce their intake of this compound as it can reduce testosterone levels.
Biotin - is essential in the synthesis and metabolism of glucose, fatty acids, amino acids and stress hormones. As biotin has the potential to improve glucose metabolism by stimulating insulin secretion, it can be of benefit to women with PCOS, who are often insulin resistant. Biotin is found in meat, oily fish, whole grains, rice, nuts, cauliflower and egg yolk. More biotin is needed during breast-feeding. I recommend a daily dose of 30mcg increasing to 35mcg whilst breastfeeding.
Calcium - we all know that calcium is important for our bones. Around 99% of the calcium we consume goes into our bones and teeth. It plays an important role in blood clotting and the production on energy. Calcium is absorbed in the small intestine, which is dependent upon vitamin D. Calcium is found in milk and dairy products, eggs, broccoli, tinned salmon, nuts and seeds. I would suggest not sourcing calcium from dairy products as it can weaken the digestive system, which weakens the body and fertility. Caffeine affects the absorption of calcium. During pregnancy around 50% of the mother's reserves are taken by the baby, so stocking up before and not drinking coffee is beneficial. I recommend a daily dose of 1000mg, increasing to 1500mg when pregnant.
Chlorella - also known as blue algae is similar to spirulina. It helps to tonify the essence (jing) and is ideal to improve sperm quality. It contains vitamins B, C and E as well as zinc and iron. As it can boost the immune system (Th1 cells) much like spirulina, I would only recommend that men take this supplement. I recommend a daily dose of 5g.
Choline - is vital for the development of your baby's memory in future life. It becomes depleted during pregnancy and lactation. Egg yolks and green leafy vegetables are a good source of choline. I recommend a daily dose of 450mg.
Chromium - deficiency in chromium is thought to be common and linked to glucose intolerance, weight gain, depression, infertility and a decreased sperm count. Chromium is found in egg yolk, red meat, cheese, fruit, fruit juice, whole grains, honey, vegetables, black pepper and thyme. I recommend a daily dose of 30mcg.
Cod liver oil - contains important omega 3s and vitamin A. However, as the level of vitamin A within cold liver oil is difficult to determine it's easy to overdose on, which can lead to birth defects. I would therefore recommend avoiding cod liver oil supplements when trying to conceive or when pregnant.
Coenzyme Q10 - also known as ubiquinone, it is a vitamin like substance that processes oxygen in cells and to generate energy rich molecules. It is vital in male fertility where the man suffers from poor sperm mobility. Although popular on the internet for female infertility, there is very little research to back this up. It's only been shown to help atrial follicle count (AFC) when taken together with DHEA at a daily dose of 600mg and DHEA at 25mg. It's therefore assumed that it could help with embryo quality, but this is still unclear. Coenzyme Q10 is found in meat, fish, eggs, whole grains, nuts and green vegetables. I recommend a daily dose of 600mg.
Copper - is an essential trace element that is found to be deficient in most people. It helps with oxygen and iron transportation as well as the breaking down of fat cells into energy. A deficiency of can cause anemia, weight gain and fertility problems. Copper is found in liver, nuts, wholegrain cereals, dried prunes, avocados, artichokes, radishes, garlic, mushrooms and green vegetables. I recommend a daily dose of 1-2mg.
Dong quai (dang gui) - is a Chinese herb that's used a lot in Chinese medicine to tonify the blood, regulate a woman's menstrual cycle and relieve pain. It contains phytoestrogens, so should be used with caution if self prescribing. Dang Gui is a root and is split into three sections; the head has anticoagulant effects and should therefore be avoided in high doses in pregnant women or those breast-feeding, the middle part is a tonic, whilst the tail is used to move blood stagnation. Its use should be stopped one month before starting an IVF cycle. I would recommend seeing a qualified Chinese herbalist if you are considering taking this herb as it's difficult to know what part of the root is being sold in health food stores.
DHA - stands for docosahexaenoic, an omega-3 essential fatty acid. DNA appears to be essential in brain development and growth, ultimately affecting learning abilities. Around 50% of the brain's DNA is formed during the fetal stage, whilst the remaining 50% is formed in the first year of birth. DHA is especially important for breast-feeding mothers where it helps in the development of the baby's eyes and brain in the first 6 months of life. DHA has been shown to improve semen quality by reducing damage caused by free radicals (ROS). Consumption of polyunsaturated vegetable oil (omega6s) can inhibit the formation of DNA. Good sources of omega-3s are oily fish, algae, walnuts and flaxseeds. I recommend a daily dose of 14g.
DHEA - is a natural sex hormone that exists in both men and women that decreases with age. It increases male and female hormones. It has been shown to reverse some signs of aging, for example, poor egg quality and aging skin. The ideal daily dose is 25-75mg a day. Do not take DHEA in doses higher than 50-100mg a day or for more than 3 months. The body needs to create this hormone, so you cannot get it in foods like yam or soy. It is available as a supplement (not currently available in the UK). Soy (dan dou chi) and liquorice (gan cao) can increase the effects of DHEA in the body. Do not take if you have a family history of cancer, Autism or have high testosterone levels.
Folic acid (vitamin B9) - is well known for its benefits in fertility and the only supplement recommended by western medicine (4mg daily), yet only 28% of women take it when pregnant. It not only helps prevent a form of anemia but also prevents birth defects such as spina bifida when taken during the first few weeks of pregnancy. Folic acid also helps to offset the side effects of metformin, where it increases levels of homocysteine. Folic acid is found in green leafy vegetables and whole grains. I recommend a daily dose of 400mcg and 800mcg to lower levels of homocysteine. It's important not to overdose on folic acid, too much can be harmful to your baby. New research has found that mothers who had four times the amount of folic acid in the body doubled the risk of their baby developing Autism. Some cereals and breads are fortified (additionally added) with folic acid. Read the labels of foods you eat to make sure you don't consume too much in your diet.
Ginseng - is a root herb that boosts energy levels. It contains phytoestrogens, so might be a problem for women with high estrogen levels. It's generally ok to take during pregnancy but not when there are signs of hypertension, pre-eclampsia or immune type infertility. Recent research has shown that combining red ginseng with vitamin C can increase NK and T cell levels including CD25 and CD69. This could be a problem for women with immune type infertility and for this reason I recommend that women do not take this supplement. I would only recommend that men take this supplement. I recommend a daily dose of 5g.
Green tea - green, white and black teas all come from the same shrub; Camellia sinensis. Black tea is fermented green tea. The antioxidants in green tea extracts are 100 times more powerful than vitamin C and 25 times more powerful than vitamin E. It can help reduce excessive weight, blood pressure and blood stickiness thereby improving fertility. However, green tea still contains caffeine, which can affect the absorption of calcium. It also contains tannin, which can affect the absorption of iron. I would therefore limit drinking tea to a few cups a day and decaf if possible.
Iodine - is an essential trace element that is vital for the production of two thyroid hormones thyroxin (T4) and tri-iodothyronine (T3). A deficiency of iodine may lead to an underactive thyroid and in new-borns a condition called cretinism. In conjunction with iron, it helps to replace blood loss occurring during menstruation. Iodine is found in fish, seaweeds and unrefined sea salt. Most salts are refined and have been stripped of nearly all their sixty trace elements and replaced with fortified iodine. Try to use salt that hasn't been refined or altered. I recommend a daily dose of 200mcg.
Iron - is an essential mineral needed for the production of hemoglobin, the red blood pigment which transports oxygen and carbon dioxide around the body. Vegetarians, menstruating and pregnant women tend to be deficient in iron. Half of all women in Asia are iron deficient. Iron requirements double during pregnancy as a mother's red blood cell and hemoglobin count increases by 30%. Iron in pregnancy is important as a lack of it can lead to anemia, however too much iron in pregnancy may lead to pre-eclampsia, although this is rare. Iron together with vitamin B12 and folic acid are needed to increase blood levels. To absorb iron, there needs to be adequate levels of copper, B vitamins and vitamin C. Taking a liquid iron supplement is ideal in a glass of fruit juice as the vitamin C helps with absorption. Stools maybe dark in color, which is normal. If constipation occurs, try taking a 'friendly iron' supplement. Iron is found in red meats, sardines, wheat germ, whole meal bread, egg yolk, green vegetables and dried fruit. I recommend a daily dose of 18mg increasing to 27mg when pregnant. If your blood test comes back as iron deficient (ferritin ug/liter <30), then I recommended a daily dose of 100mg.
L-arginine - is an amino acid that can help with sperm health and improve fertility in women. L-arginine forms the basis of nitric oxide, am inactive free radical that is protected by antioxidants. Nitrtic oxide is found in sperm and is needed for good motility. Seminal fluids contain around 25% l-arginine. It also aids blood flow to the penis thereby improving erectile function. Research has also shown that it improves fetal growth in pregnancy. L-arginine is found in nuts, seeds, pulses, beetroot, onions, grapes, rice, egg yolk and red meat. Do not take if you have PCOS, diabetes or are breast-feeding. I recommend a daily dose of 15g.
Lycopene - is a powerful antioxidant, more so than beta-carotene. It has been shown to increase sperm count, motility, morphology and reduce DNA damage. It is found in tomatoes, watermelon, pink grapefruit and other fruits with a red color. It best absorbed when heated, as cooked tomatoes release five times as much as raw tomatoes, i.e. a pasta or pizza sauce. Adding olive oil increases the absorption of lycopene by three-fold. I recommend a daily dose of 20mg.
Maca (lepidium meyenii) - is often referred to as Peruvian ginseng, it increases energy levels and stamina and is used as an aphrodisiac. Research has shown it to be of benefit to male sex drive, performance, sperm count and motility, whilst in women it may increase LH levels, when taken in high doses (50-100g a day). Traditional dosage of maca in the Andes of South America ranges from 50-100g a day. I recommend a daily dose of 10g for better energy and 50g a day for those with male infertility or women with low LH levels.
Magnesium - is the fourth most common metal found in the body and yet deficiencies are commonly seen in people. It is needed for the function of over 300 enzymes. A deficiency of magnesium can lead to cell death. Amongst its uses is its ability to regulate the interaction of fertility hormones to their receptors. Chocolate contains high levels of magnesium, however before you go out and stock up on your favorite bars; it is often made with refined sugars and hydrogenated fats. Magnesium also contains theobromine, a caffeine like substance that if eaten daily, reduces overall mineralisation of the body. Magnesium is found in beans, nuts, whole grains, seafood and dark green, leafy vegetables. I recommend a daily dose of 375mg.
Manganese - is an essential mineral involved in several aspects including the production of fertility hormones and blood clotting. A deficiency is related to blood type deficiencies within Chinese medicine including poor memory, nails, hair and infertility. Manganese is found in black tea, whole grains, nuts, seeds, fruit, eggs, milk and green leafy vegetables. I recommend a daily dose of 2mg.
Melatonin - is a powerful antioxidant produced by the pineal gland that reduces levels of free radicals, which can reduce egg and improve sperm quality. Melatonin production decreases with age. It is mainly produced at night when we sleep, therefore sleeping enough can help to maintain good levels. Melatonin is found in foods such as tomatoes. Within the body, high concentrations are found in the female reproductive organs. Drugs such as aspirin and NSAIDs can reduce the pineal gland's production of melatonin by 75%. I recommend a daily dose of 1-3mg.
Myo inositol - is a B complex vitamin found in meat and plants. It's useful in maturing eggs in women with poor egg quality or PCOS. Myo inositol is found in fruits, beans, grains, and nuts. Fresh vegetables and fruits contain more myo inositol than frozen, canned or salt-free products. I recommend a daily dose of 250-500mg.
Passionflower - (passiflora incarnata) has been shown in research to improve libido function, increase sperm count and fertilisation. It contains apigenin, which can increase testosterone levels.
Probiotics - probiotics that contain lactobacillus reuteri have been shown to reduce the damage caused by anti-biotics, improve cognitive function and increase levels of oxytocin, which contribute to reduced weight gain, breast-milk production and reduced Autistic traits. I recommend a daily dose of 5-10 billion CFUs. Always buy probiotics that have a long shelf life.
Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) - is a vitamin like substance that is a powerful antioxidant. Preliminary research in animals has shown that it can improve fertility and the growth of offspring. I recommend a daily dose of 300mcg.
Royal jelly - also known as bee's milk, is the sole food of the queen bee and baby bees. It is a potent energy source, rich in vitamin B5, A, C, D and E plus amino acids, essential fatty acids and minerals such as acetylcholine, potassium, calcium, zinc, iron and manganese. In Chinese medicine, it helps improve jing, yin and blood levels, whilst strengthening the reproductive systems in both men and women. I recommend a daily dose of 50-100mg.
Selenium - is considered the most important trace element in our diet. It is important for both male and female fertility. Low levels have been linked with miscarriage and pre-eclampsia, whilst in men it can help with poor sperm motility. Selenium is found in Brazil nuts, fish, poultry, meats, whole grains, mushrooms, onions, garlic, broccoli and cabbage. Selenium is lost in a man's semen. I recommend a daily dose of 100-200mcg.
Spirulina - is a super food and known as blue-green algae (arthrospira platensis). It's packed full of protein with more than 60% per 100g. It also contains high levels of iron and vitamin B12, all the essential amino acids as well as essential minerals and vitamins. It can also help with weight loss. It contains 180% more calcium than whole milk, 670% more protein than tofu, 3100% more beta-carotene than carrots, 5100% more iron than spinach. However, some research studies suggest that taking spirulina can increase TH1 cytokines, which can affect implantation. I would therefore recommend only men take this supplement, as it's a great substitute for meat. I recommend a daily dose of 5g in tablet form, as it doesn't taste nice.
Ubiquinol - is the activated form of Coenzyme Q10. It is a powerful antioxidant that reduces oxidative stress, thereby improving the HPA and HPO systems and increasing levels of FSH and LH. I recommend a daily dose of 150mg.
Vitamin A - is important in maintaining sexual health and fertility. However, is it important not to exceed the daily dose when pregnant, especially during the first seven weeks. Taking double the recommended dose can increase the risk of birth defects. Foods that contain high levels of vitamin A include fish oils (cod liver oil), liver, pates and fortified foods such as cereals and flour. I recommend a daily dose of 800mcg or take beta-carotene instead as it can be converted into vitamin A when the body needs it so reduces the chances of overdosing.
Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) - is needed for the production of energy and red blood cells. The body can only store it for one month. It is present in lots of foods, however food preparation drastically decreases levels of vitamin B1, for example meat that has been frozen looses 50% of vitamin B1. Vitamin B1 can be found in whole grains, oats, pasta, meat, seafood and nuts. This vitamin is destroyed by drinking large amounts of tea or coffee. I recommend a daily dose of 1.5-2mg.
Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin) - can be stored in the liver for several years, however vegetarians, especially vegans tend to be deficient in it. In conjunction with folic acid it is needed when new genetic material is made during cell division, which helps to prevent birth defects such as spina bifida. It also benefits men with a low sperm count. Vitamin B12 can be found in oily fish, such as sardines, red meats, white fish, eggs and diary products. I recommend a daily dose of 3-5mcg. Be careful not to overdose on vitamin B12, as too much can be harmful to your baby. New research has found that mothers who had very high levels of vitamin B12 in their body tripled the risk of their baby developing Autism. Read the labels of foods you eat as some foods such as bread and cereal are fortified with vitamin B12, so don't consume too much in your diet.
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) - is important in the production of energy and the metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. It is needed to convert B6 into its active form and helps with PMS. Vitamin B2 can be found in whole grains, eggs, dairy products, green leafy vegetables and beans. This is the vitamin that turns urine into a bright yellow color. I recommend a daily dose of 1.6mg.
Vitamin B3 (Niacin) - is important in the production of energy and the use of oxygen in cells. Vitamin B3 can be found in whole grains, nuts, meats, poultry, oily fish, eggs, dairy products and dried fruit. I recommend a daily dose of 15-20mg.
Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) - is important in the production of energy and adrenal gland hormones during stressful times. Vitamin B5 can be found in whole grains, beans, eggs, nuts, green leafy vegetables, meats and royal jelly. I recommend a daily dose of 6mg.
Vitamin B6 - is essential in the action of over 60 enzymes and can help with PMS. Vitamin B6 can be found in whole grains, meat, oily fish, bananas, nuts, green leafy vegetables, avocados and egg yolks. I recommend a daily dose of 2mg.
Vitamin C - cannot be stored in the body so regular intake is necessary. It is needed for over 300 metabolic reactions and is vital for reproduction. It helps with the absorption of iron. It is important in protecting sperm quality by stopping it from clumping together and protecting the sperm's DNA. Research has shown that taking vitamin C daily can increase sperm count, morphology and motility. As vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant it reduce free radical damage to eggs and sperm and benefits implantation. Vitamin C is found in most fruit and vegetables and green leafy vegetables. I recommend a daily dose of 1g.
Vitamin D - is found in 5 different forms (1,2,3,4 & 5). Some vitamin D3 is made from sunlight when the UV index is higher than 3, when not using sunscreen. Due to the risk of skin cancer caused by too much sun exposure, it is recommended to expose the skin to 10-15 minutes of sunlight before using sunscreen. Even low sunscreens such as factor 8 reduce vitamin D production by 95%. A lack of vitamin D can cause rickets in children. Vitamin D is found in sardines, herring, salmon, tuna, eggs and butter. I recommend a daily dose of 15mcg in the summer months and 20mcg in the winter months.
Vitamin E - is an antioxidant that protects sperm and egg from free radical damage and is important in antibody production. Vitamin E is good for men with poor sperm motility and egg fertilization. Vitamin E can be found in wheat germ oil, soybeans, eggs, spinach, leafy greens, Brussels sprouts, walnuts, pecans avocados, butter. I recommend a daily dose of 12-15mg.
Vitamin K - is essential for normal blood clotting. A deficiency can lead to heavy periods and bruising easily. Vitamin K can be found in cauliflower, broccoli, dark green, leafy vegetables, egg yolk, alfalfa, safflower, kelp, soybean oil, yoghurt, rapeseed, olive oils, tomatoes, meat sand potatoes. Vitamin K is commonly given to newborns. I recommend a daily dose of 100mcg.
Zinc - is an important mineral for male fertility that plays a crucial role in the sensitivity of bodily tissues to circulating fertility hormones. It is vital for sexual maturity. A deficiency of zinc can lead to low testosterone levels and delayed male puberty. Each ejaculation contains around 110mg of zinc, therefore excessive sperm loss or a poor diet can lead to a deficiency of zinc. It is also important in sperm health as zinc helps to maintain the DNA in the sperm head, whilst also ensuring the sperm do not become too excited and release the enzyme acrosome before a woman's egg is released. During fertilization, zinc is released causing a "zinc spark" a flash of light at the moment of conception. Zinc can be found in red meats, liver, pumpkin seeds, whole grains, ground mustard, eggs and cheese. I recommend a daily dose of 15mg.

NEW YORK (AP) — Justin Timberlake is the headliner at the Super Bowl halftime show, but he's following Leslie Odom Jr. and Pink in musical performances.
Odom sang "America the Beautiful" before Sunday's game backed by Minneapolis-area singers from the Angelica Cantanti Youth Choir and Commusication program.
Pink sang "The Star Spangled Banner," after taking what appeared to be gum from her mouth. It wasn't clear if she sang to a pre-recorded track; the performance had an orchestra accompaniment, but there wasn't one on the field.
No players from New England and Philadelphia were kneeling or sitting during the national anthem.
