All I can say is, sleep deprivation will destroy you, destroy your will to live or to even get out of bed, which is a snow-ball affect! I won't even say what meds my Dr put me on to make sure that I could sleep—another story and I am tired so will take my meds and go "beddy-bye"! Best of Luck to you too!!! You are not alone, maybe not as severe, or more so, it doesn't really matter, we are all struggling with something. may God bless each and every one of us, and others too! Amen! PR
I am also T2 with sleep apnea. I have slept with a Bi-pap for 11 years and have been on meds for diabetes for 6. My dad died a couple of years ago because he refused to take care of his diabetes. My sister has it, and my mom.
The depression gets the best of us at times. Once you start getting some REAL sleep you will feel a lot better. Getting the blood sugar numbers under control helps also. Hang in there—it does get better. Not to say that you won't have some bad days—we all do. But, this too, shall pass!
Thanks for the encouragement .The doc has had me on three different kinds sleepin meds since I can not ge used to the dang mask.Ilways eem to takethe mask off once I fall alseep.I know thing will get better, but it isjst getting there.
It took me a few weeks. But once you start getting sleep, even a few hours of real sleep, you will notice a difference.
Sometimes, life is kind to you and other times, not so much.
I try to take each day as it comes. Yes, it does like to sneak up on me and several days will just attack me all at once lol
What I do when I find myself in this situation is that I let it all out. Then, I force myself to go out and look at stuff and find one nice thing and just focus on that for awhile. Sometimes, I'll treat myself to a movie and sneak in my own goods so I'm not tempted by that darn popcorn (I can't have the salt).
Educate yourself: education is indeed empowerment. Find what works for you and go from there.
I hope you feel better.

(Reuters) - The Detroit Pistons named Stan Van Gundy their head coach and president of basketball operations with hopes he can reshape the struggling franchise, the NBA team said on Wednesday.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed but multiple reports said Van Gundy, who will be formally introduced at a news conference on Thursday, agreed to a five-year pact worth an estimated $35 million.
"Stan is a proven winner in our league," Pistons owner Tom Gores said in a statement. "He instills his teams with passion, purpose and toughness. He is a great teacher who will help our players grow and develop."
Van Gundy, who will have final say over basketball decisions as part of his new role, takes over a once-proud franchise that has fallen on hard times and missed the playoffs in each of the last five seasons.
He replaces head of basketball operations Joe Dumars, who stepped down from the position last month, and interim coach John Loyer, who took over in February when first-year coach Maurice Cheeks was fired after only 50 games.
Van Gundy has an career regular-season record of 371-208 in seven-plus seasons as a head coach and has reached the NBA playoffs seven times.
He served five years as head coach of the Orlando Magic from 2007-2012, where he led the team to five playoff appearances, including an NBA Finals appearance in 2009.
Van Gundy also served as head coach of the Miami Heat for two-plus seasons from 2003-05 and his 112 coaching victories with the team are the fourth-most in the franchise's history.
"Stan is more than just a great coach, he's a great leader," said Gores. "What I'm most excited about is how Stan can help us shape the franchise and instill what it means to be the best."

Also part of Vivid Sydney is an exhibition by Colors Magazine, Happiness - A Survival Guide. It wasn't a big exhibition. But oh, I loved it so!
Happiness can be such an elusive thing but I really liked the way this exhibition dealt with it. Serious enough yet tongue in cheek at the same time.
Not related but after we checked out the exhibition one beautiful evening, we crossed the road and chanced upon these tents selling lotsa yummy food! Ah, love the little surprises we encounter in traveling. I guess that's why T and I never plan our travel itineraries down to the details. Going with the flow is fun! Try it!

Much Ado About R'Ships: Part 1: Men & Women Crosswired
This is a topic that I've been wanting to touch on for a minute, but wasn't sure how to attack it (because the man/woman topic gets maaaad cliche'). How honest to be? How raw to be? What to cover that hasn't been done to death? What not to say? What will women think? What will my girl think? Is this even necessary? Are just a few questions that came to mind
….and will now be ignored as I jump into this ongoing battle to the death of man verses woman ….or should I say woman verses man for all those 'chivalry IZ dead' f**ckers?
This was originally suppose to be one post, but it took me a week of off and on writing to finish it and I found myself going in a bit so I decided to split it into 3 parts that I'm going to post over the course of this week.
-MEN & WOMEN ARE WIRED DIFFERENTLY (Duh)
What inspires my urge to talk about this decomposed defeated donkey of a subject was something as simple as reading this whining lil female's status update about how "Men Ain't Sh!t".
Social Media has granted us the ability to stalk each other at every turn, even if we're not in the mood to stalk. We can read each other's minds at all times and while sometimes this can be a great, hilarious, entertaining, inspiring and poignant thing…most times, it's become a tool aimed at bashing the opposite sex. Facebook, Youtube and Twitter give us all a power that previous generations never knew. Using just these tools you can become a celebrity, make a career, get your voice heard by millions of people around the world, find lost loves, lost family (I personally found my #biopops and 4 siblings I never knew all on FB, seriously), express our true selves or even who we wish we were to the masses…yet in this abundance of power, the most I see are groups of people complaining about how hurt they are and blaming the entire opposite sex for their pain.
: "Men ain't shit, they ain't a piece of shit, the aint shit crust or shit tarts, they aint shit particles, they ain't shit aroma, they aint the toilet paper that you wipe the shit up with, they aint the toilet water that flushes the shit down the toilet bowl when ya done shitting, they aint even the sneaky shit hanging at the top crevices of the shitter that is harder to clean so alot of people miss it and end up having folk coming over and shitting on top of their toilet crevice infested shit…nope…they just ain't shit…they're just waste"
:"Don't trust a b!tch, they're all h%es…except fo' my mama and my lil sister who probably gon grow up to be one too…which is kinda f*cked up…but yeah…i miss my baby, but f*ck her though….i knew i shouldn't have hit her in the face with that shovel…damn…"
:"All men are dogs…all of em…wish I had a boyfriend though…I might just turn gay, wait…that means no more d**k…damn…"
: "I can't believe I trusted her, after she dumped her boyfriend to get with me I should've seen the signs…she said she only cheated on a few of her exes but it was going to be different with me…she only wanted him for the money, she wanted me for love…and just a little of my money…she ruined our love, it's all her fault"
It's all retarded and no, I'm not banging on or blaming social media..I'm banging on the people whining on social media. There's a clear cut difference between a "vent" and a "whine." When you vent, you get it out of your system then do something about it, eventually this problem has been conquered because you #TookAction (As my dude @Kloud_Stryfe always says). But, when you whine (you know the complete opposite of 'vent' is coming right?), when you whine you just complain about your same problems over and over again, making the exact same maneuvers expecting different results (the definition of "insanity"). If you are 25 and older and still can't figure out life's not to difficult 'puzzle of constants' when it comes to relationships, then you're either slow or not paying attention….
…fareal, to put it simply, if you're 25 and older and still got the nerve to say "Men/Women Ain't Shit" "Men/Women Are All The Same"….then denial be damned if no one has told you yet, here's the magical answer: the problem…IS YOU Muth@FU*K@!
Any ladies want to entertain me for a few paragraphs or guys wanna see if I'm keeping it 100 or not…then click that "Read the rest of this entry" button..if not, then click here
…and still come back and click "Read the rest of this entry" button
1) Everyone's different
2) Nobody's perfect
3) Relationships are work, if you can't handle the bad times, don't get in one
4) Just because you want it to work out doesn't mean it will OR SHOULD
5) In MOST arguments, YOU are WRONG too #viceversa
6) Carrying old baggage into new spaces only contaminates the new space
7) No Trust, No Bond, No Point
8 ) Friendship is the foundation (natural friendship is EVERYTHING)
9) No Communication, No Relationship
10) You CAN NOT grow, grow together, forgive, forget or move on if you don't LET GO of old nonsense (especially if it's been settled)
11) Love ain't positive or negative, it's just Love
And those are just a random 11 that spew off the top of my head when thinking about what's a 'constant' in all relationships. There's many more fac(e)ts like these and the faster that more of us would recognize and submit to them, the better off we'd all be.
I'm not an expert on the topic of committed relationships. Hell, I just got into my first committed relationship since high school (Eleanor McMain HS C/O 2004!) about a year ago. Honestly (like many single men), I'm use to juggling women…at one point it was like a sport, then eventually it became me actually looking for someone to be with but I'd keep meeting girls that I either had zero interest in, minimal interest in or I'd almost want to be with but something I couldn't put my finger on was holding me back. Eventually, and surprisingly to many who know me, I found someone who I believe works for me….the most perfect person for you just clicks and many times it's one whose flaws compliment yours. Yeah, flaws….having things in common is definitely ideal, but can you tolerate those things about them that drive the piss out of you, forever? If there's someone for everyone, know that that crap that you couldn't deal with with your ex? There's always SOMEONE who CAN and will. Settling down doesn't have to mean settling.
Not many people realize that there are complexities to juggling and I'm not trying to glorify it as you'll eventually read in 'The Single Man's Mind', I'm just throwing it out there to say that living on both sides of the fence gives a person a different sort of insight than your average f*cker blogging about love and relationships. Hell, most of the love bloggers are women and the ones that aren't are men ready to kiss that female posterior seat cushion, writing as if they are catering to females (bias) or men that think they are pimps….
I don't have a vagina, a$$ doesn't have a magnetic attraction to my lips and my last name ain't 'Slickback' so this read may be a lil different. I'm not an expert on women, I'll never say that…to be an expert on women you'd have to be a woman, no man can fully understand a woman like a freaking woman (if a man could, it'd take the fun out of it anyway)…so in my vice versa voice, I'm telling you that being a man, makes me an expert on men, or at least the average man, so that's the POV I'll be speaking on below. Not coming from the super dog ni@@a, not coming from the super good boy, but just the average dude you'll probably run across while dating. Once again, this is from a MAN's point of view and I'm speaking mainly to WOMEN. Much of what's below can be flipped for both genders, but I'm giving the heads up on from where I'm speaking to avoid unnecessary b.s debates. #LEGGO
This is the simplest and most important piece of the puzzle. If people would just accept, nope not just understand this…because a lotta people do understand this statement but they won't ACCEPT it, yes ACCEPT IT. I swear, if more people could fully let that fact set in and work with patience within the parameters of it, then most relationships may be saved instantly. We ARE all human but the genders react to, understand, approach, attack, look at and process things in, at times drastically, different ways. The general consensus is (and insult in the minds of some) while both genders use emotion and logic when making decisions, women's brains are more "emotionally" tilted while men's mind's are more tilted towards the "logical" aspects of a situation.
This 'emotion' verses 'logic' debate tends to garner either a nod or a pissy face from women. Most men usually agree with it though.
No, it's not saying that women don't use logic, everyone does. Simply put, without attempting to explain the pseudo-sciences of all the experiences I've had and you've probably had that can both prove and disprove both sides of the emotion -vs- logic debate, I'd rather wrap it up in a super basic, easy to understand and guaranteed to make sense nutshell, going back to how both genders PROCESS information *drum roll*
STOP expecting MAN to think like WOMAN. STOP expecting WOMAN to think like MAN. And most importantly for self, DON'T expect anyone to think exactly like YOU. It's all a losing effort. For some it's common sense, but the irony of common sense isn't that tired joke: "it ain't always common"…it's really the fact that it's so common that most people overlook it or completely ignore it at times when using it would matter most. Hindsight makes your errors in judgment apparent eventually, but many times it's stuff you already knew, that was simple as hell that the chemical imbalance of the brain called "love" may have blocked you from seeing at the time. This common sensical statement needs to be repeated any time you find yourself slipping into a negative space with your significant other.
"THEY are NOT ME, so I've got to work with them"
No matter your gender, by the age of 25 you should have noticed certain similarities that all women/men tend to share? Also, you should have noticed certain similarities that many of the ones you date tend to share. Everyone's Different, so no I'm not saying super box a person into that "All Men/Women Are The Same" nonsense, there's ALWAYS exceptions (this statement will keep being repeated), but certain things when comparing how (if you're a woman) your 'girls' or you would act verses how your man reacts will show A) listening to your girls at all costs may be shooting yourself in the foot, because (though they may mean well) they can't think for him and B) a lot of men react to certain things the exact same way, so to continue getting mad at a guy who is basically just responding to things like any guy you date would is a fruitless mission. If you've had 5 boyfriends in a row all getting annoyed every time you do a certain thing, then 9 times out of 10 your next 5 boyfriends will be annoyed by it too. Use some sense in the matter. There are certain things that don't even piss me off when my girlfriend does it, because I've gotten to a point where I just write it off as "Sh!t that Women Do." Whether it is a random mood swing or an annoyance of estrogen origin, if it's something that my last few girls use to do that got under my skin as well, it just can't get under my skin anymore because I've accepted it as female type sh!t. Is this a sexist mind frame to have on both sides? Possibly…will it reduce wrinkles and grey hair? HELL F**KIN YES!
Though it can be unfair at times, we all generalize. You just have to know on what level to generalize without getting crazy with it. I can generalize that most women would love a good listener, someone who shows them affection and who can remember to put the seat up when pissing. Generalizing a gender as to saying that the entire gender is evil or doomed to be screwed up is a bit extreme….aight, not a bit extreme…it's super extreme, counterproductive, immature and nutty.
Check out this excerpt from relationship advice examiner, Sunny Wheeler's article on the topic. It shows a classic misunderstanding between man and woman.
" I've been chatting with a guy ("Miles") that I met about three weeks ago. We haven't had a date yet but we talk several times a week and text once or twice a day.
When he asked me how I was, I told him about a very upsetting phone conversation that I had with my ex-husband. I told Miles that of the top three most awful, humiliating conversations I've had in my life, this was number three. Miles then proceeded to tell me what I should do and how I should have handled the conversation. He also told me to stop acting like a victim. When I told Miles that all I needed from him was some concern and compassion, maybe something like, "Gee that sucks. I'm sorry you're going through that." He said, "Oh so I should lie to you?" He said that just because he wasn't giving me compassion in the way that I wanted to hear it, that I was trying to manipulate and control the conversation.
Miles also said that he was "the most compassionate man you'll ever meet!" When I disagreed with that statement he expresses shock that I would call him mean. I said, "I never called you mean. I'm simply disagreeing with your statement that you are the most compassionate man I will ever meet. I know plenty of other guys who are more compassionate."—TheExaminer.com
In this situation, Miles was being mad pushy, but also very honest and Sunny was possibly indeed playing the victim, but only meant to vent not be preached to. He felt he was showing her compassion by even stepping out of his bounds and giving her advice. As men, many times we don't care to give a woman advice about another man. Most guys that do are either in the "friend zone", a relative or is just trying to have sex with the girl by getting rid of the other guy through "advice." So for dude to actually take the time out and try to help, in his mind was a positive step. How he went about it? Jury's still out on that one.
A majority of men from the onset just want to sleep with the woman anyway. FROM THE ONSET, it's one of the basic receptors in initial attraction and engagement.. Men approach based on what we see, women accept the invitation based on what they see as well as what he said (his presentation). For a man, if you look good, many times (at first) it doesn't matter what a woman says. Him wanting sex doesn't make him a pig, it's all he wanted from first 'seeing' you and approaching you, what else could he go off of? He was suppose to know that you had a glowing personality from first sight? It's through getting to know you that his feelings get involved, whether you have sex or not has nothing to do with it. He'll know through conversation if he just wants to have sex or is interested in a deeper connection. Many men, if bored by a female, will throw them in the "Just Tryna Hit It" box and you'll know if he's "Just Tryna Hit It" based on his actions and conversation topics (i.e: sex convos, mad kiss assery and compliments, fake interest in anything not involving the previous two).
Sunny wanted her definition of compassion, Miles was just trying to get her problem squashed which was his definition of it. In Miles' mind, he was helping Sunny and only meant to come from a place of care. Many times, men just want to get a situation handled and scrapped. How to make 1 + 2 equal 3 #asaptually. If we vent, after we've exhaled it out of our systems we're on to shooting the target. Being trained from birth to forgo emotion, "be a man" (on to the next adventure) it's almost natural to try not to wallow in problems or yearn for/expect compassion…it gets perceived as being weak when we do…problem is we can easily come across as insensitive without realizing it all due to our processing not being in tune with our woman's (and vice versa!). Can men work on it? Yes we can and should, just the level of work needed varies from man to man and he can only know if/what to work on by getting to know you….everything takes time…and hell, you women need work too.
This was just an example of the many disagreements that pop up through misunderstanding of intent. It's impossible to go through each and every example, but at times, before going apesh!t because he "just doesn't understand", sit back and think of why and how a misunderstanding came about. At it's core, was it just some "man sh!t?"At it's core, was this guy really trying to harm you or does he really just not understand where you're coming from. If his intent is sincere and his actions come from a place of care, then try not to get in his a$$ too much about perceived insensitiveness (among other things) because he'll just believe that you're the one trippin for not recognizing his efforts and more fights will ensue.
Sunny expected Miles to automatically know that she wanted just an open ear and she wasn't wrong for this hope, Miles didn't process it like this and wasn't wrong for thinking how he thought, but they were both wrong for not taking into consideration the other person's thought process…
Girls are brought up to be in touch with their "feelings" and really connect most of their issues with said feelings, for better or for worse. The maternal nature of women is one of their most endearing attributes and this nature is stemmed in emotion, so it's not like men hate the emotional side of women…it just can become taxing since we don't always understand it as best as we'd like to. While certain things make sense and other things are predictable, there's still a lot that just seems illogical to men when women say or do it, once again attempting to make a list of the many things that come up that strikes men as weird would take forever, just know that some frustration you may have in us stems from our confusion towards you (vice versa? yay? nay?). Moving forward, communication rectifies all but before communication, cutting the corners and seeking a better understanding ourselves is a viable option too…then communicating effectively on top of that seals the deal.
LISTENING and striving to understand all sides is just as important as speaking your mind when communicating
Two people together create a chemistry that is unlike any other chemistry another two would create, which means that chemistry will bare it's own triumphs and trials. This can't and won't be changed, communication and common ground can always be found but the ongoing debate and struggle between the two genders genetically cannot be avoided. The best way to combat the unavoidable is patience and also NOT immediately TAKING THINGS PERSONALLY.
So often, we find ourselves tirelessly jumping to the negative conclusion, when really if we'd assess situations a bit more thoroughly, looked at the character of the person we're with and trust we know who they are…then many troubles could be avoided through open ears and actual discussion, instead of debates soaked with Mortal Kombat style sensibilities.
Shouts out to Raiden!
Different wiring still can lead to perfect connections, just gotta be prepared going in for work. Know from the beginning that when things are great, cherish those times and feelings because that's what you'll have to draw on when your wires get crossed…and know that your wires are SUPPOSE to get crossed, the puzzle is how to move forward when they do and growing together in the aftermath of adversity. Our different mindsets are ultimately what's intrigues us all. Accepting these differences aren't so anyone can have a crutch for complacency or a bed for excuses, if you don't get anything else from this post or the parts to come, know that my main urge is for us all to grow together, that's what all relationships are about. But, you've got to know self, be open to understanding and respect the 'constants' to even have a chance at being successful in any r'ship…period.

I recently stumbled upon this April, 2011, Charles Davis post, entitled "I'll take the reactionary over the murderer, thanks," in which he decimates the liberal argument that, compared to Obama, Ron Paul is a corporate shill who will send the country back a few decades (or more).
As the title indicates, Davis argues we should be far more concerned with Obama's murderous foreign policy – the one that kills innocent civilians, shields torturers from accountability, and starts wars of aggression destined to incur blowback – than with Paul's freewheelin' capitalism that would allow big corporations to control the government. Two reasons: Paul vows to totally reverse that murderous foreign policy, and the liberal criticism of Paul is already our current status quo under Obama. Read the post; Davis fleshes the argument out well. Not to mention Paul's plan to end the disastrous war on drugs, crippling the poor for a senseless puritanical fantasy.
The point is, you can't tout your progressive values and continue to think that Obama is going to act in your interests more than Ron Paul, because that's not only false, but the exact opposite is true.[1]
That all sounds pretty convincing. But my qualm with the piece is how it lays this all out in depth and detail, and yet dismisses the argument's logical conclusion: voting for Ron Paul.
Some disclaimers: (1) I'm not (necessarily) advocating for Ron Paul. I'm curious about how voting for him now might effect longer-term goals. (2) I know that Davis is an anarchist (think more Chomsky's definition than "Lord of the Flies"), and that asking why an anarchist wouldn't vote is as idiotic as it gets. But I will anyway. (3) I don't think this is the same as arguing that Democrats are – ever so slightly – less evil than their Republican counterparts, chiefly because I just don't think they are.
My question is tactical: even if Ron Paul would continue to mostly serve corporate interests, and even if those interests run directly against the needs and interests of the citizenry, doesn't the fact that he would end the global war on terror and the domestic war on drugs factor rather largely? Put another way, even if Paul wouldn't serve your longer and longest term goals, don't his extremely progressive short-term goals count for something – a step in the right direction?
Many contend that electing a single person is never going to constitute meaningful change, especially not change that works so strongly against the status quo. Yet as commander-in-chief, Paul would be able to actually withdraw from these aggressive wars and – this is key – stop murdering people. Furthermore, in the post in question, Davis himself makes the case for Paul's unilateral potential in the war on drugs:
"Paul, on the other hand, has called for ending the drug war and said he would pardon non-violent offenders, which would be the single greatest reform a president could make in the domestic sphere, equivalent in magnitude to ending Jim Crow." [Emphasis mine]
It remains difficult to reconcile that potential with the absolutist view that, categorically, "the electoral process [is] primarily a distraction, something that diverts energy and attention from more effective means of reforming the system."
My primary hesitance in not advocating for Ron Paul, and for short-term goals in general, is born from the spirit of Occupy Wall Street, which for now brings back the confidence and ability to demand big, serious change to our system. "Dear 1%," one #OWS sign reads, "We fell asleep for a while. We just woke up. Sincerely, the 99%." I like the sound of that. (For the record, and this may well be irrelevant, Ron Paul has supported the Occupy movement.) The question remains, though, and I'm not just asking Davis, I'm asking people on the left throughout the country: if Ron Paul could produce that substantial change, and at least reverse our two biggest, most crippling wars – on terror and on drugs – isn't that worth something?
1. As many argue, the primary cause of this mentality is partisanship, or what Glenn Greenwald terms 'tribalism.' People are often eager to toe the party line because allegiance to a monolithic party gives one a sense of values, without needing to actually confront those values head-on. Ron Paul has run as a 'Libertarian' candidate before, with little success, and has supported third-party candidates in the past. I think it's worth noting that if he ran as an Independent in 2012, instead of as a Republican he could more clearly show progressives what is already true, that he's to the left of Obama on some major issues.

HARTFORD, Conn. — Joe Linta played football at Yale before making a living as an NFL agent and football coach at Hamden Hall. Yet he wonders if it is worth it for his son to play.
A recent study by Boston University on 202 former football players found much evidence of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). The study stopped short of proving the condition, a progressive degenerative disease of the brain, is prevalent in all football players. Yet it once again raised concern.
"My son T.J. (a quarterback at Brown) is in a game against Columbia last year and he got whacked hard after someone missed a block," Linta said. "He fell hard and his head whiplashed back into the turf. He wasn't throwing up or anything, but he clearly had a moment of memory loss and dizziness for maybe 45 minutes to an hour. It took him nearly a day to recover.
"As a parent, I would look at that and say (football's) not really worth it and, God forbid, if he has one more (blow) of any significance, I'm going to have the conversation with him about whether it is really worth it.
"He's an example of a kid who is going to go out in the world and have opportunities for jobs. Is it really worth it? But it's something he wants more than anything and I am supportive of him _ to an extent."
The study confirmed that the high percentage of brains donated by families of players with multiple concussions or troubling symptoms before they died had CTE.
Football is a collision sport and vicious hits have been glorified. There have been famous, defining hits, such as Chuck Bednarik on Frank Gifford in 1960, or many on Oakland QB Kenny Stabler, whose brain showed Stage 3 CTE (of four stages) after his death. But the ongoing awareness and concern with head injuries continues to shift the landscape. Long gone are the days when ESPN fed clips of brutal hits to its audience in a segment that was called "Jacked Up." ESPN took heat for magnifying such things.
"We used to get that criticism years ago when we did the 'Jacked Up' segment (ended 2006)," ESPN's Mike Soltys said. "But our coverage has evolved as everyone has become even more acutely aware of CTE/head injuries/concussions. We have also been aggressive in covering the story."
High school coaches spend a lot of time teaching proper tackling techniques and schools are required to educate parents and players on the signs and symptoms of concussions.
The NCAA imposed a rule this year that prohibits two-a-day practices, long a staple of the preseason for college football teams. According to a study by the NCAA's Sport Science Institute, 58 percent of concussions that happen in football occur during the preseason.
Teams can still hold two practices a day, but one needs to be a "walkthrough" with no contact, no helmets, no pads and no conditioning activities. Three hours of recovery are required between practices. Teams are still permitted to hold 29 preseason practice sessions, the same as before.
A class action lawsuit brought on behalf of current and former NCAA student-athletes in all sports is pending before the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. A preliminary settlement has been reached that says any NCAA athlete who played before July 15, 2016 "may be entitled to free medical screening and may receive free medical testing, known as 'medical monitoring,' up to two times over the next 50 years." A final hearing is scheduled for Sept. 22.
The BU study left "unanswered questions," said lead author Ann McKee, a BU professor of neurology and pathology.
Dr. David Wang of the Connecticut Children's Medical Center in Hartford agreed.
"In my opinion, the news was more a headline sensation," he said. "It's the same thing we've all been saying for a long time. Boston University has offered many updates on their study.
"The most difficult thing we are dealing with here is that we don't have a way of measuring it or diagnosing it in a living person. So therefore, we don't know who has it. The reason the numbers are so big in these headlines is (the subjects) are the people who have chosen to donate their brains to research. These are people who had exhibited signs and symptoms of CTE or those who family members thought they had it. Since that's the research pool, you expect the numbers to be high. I believe the data is skewed. We are limited by our inability to diagnose it in living people."
The NFL has recently seen a number of players in their 20s suddenly retire, making reference to concerns over health.
Former Bills' linebacker A.J. Tarpley retired at 23 after just one season, saying on Instagram, "I suffered the third and fourth concussions of my career this past season and I am walking away from the game I love to preserve my future health."
Former Yale running back Tyler Varga retired after one season with the Colts because of a concussion. "In the end, you just have to weigh the risk vs. reward, do a cost/benefit analysis, and I ultimately decided it wasn't worth the risk," Varga told an Indianapolis radio station.
Ravens offensive lineman John Urschel, 26, announced his retirement July 27, just before training camp. A team source said Urschel's decision was linked to the results of the study. Urschel is pursuing his doctorate at MIT.
"The more options a kid has in life, outlets for careers, the more likely they will pay attention to advice," Linta said. "But there will still be a majority of players who disregard that and feel like it's an inherent risk in the career they've chosen. Still, I would not believe that every single guy who plays football has it."
With concerns about repetitive hits and starting to play too young, U.S.A. Football, the national governing body for amateur football, has proposed a different youth game because of declining participation and fear about safety. The game would look more like flag football. Each team will have six to nine players instead of 11. The field would be smaller. Kickoffs and punts would be eliminated. And players would start each play in a crouching position instead of in a three-point stance.
"With the negative press that football is receiving, coaches cannot use the old methods of coaching because that is what they did when they played," Platt-Meriden coach Jason Bruenn said. "Today's coach has an almost unlimited ability to learn the newest safest techniques with the Internet. I know coaches who are videoing practices where tackling techniques are being taught to prove players are being taught the appropriate techniques. Moving forward, in order to better teach proper skills, more time is needed with players. That's right I said more, not less, time with the athletes. I would love to see an additional week added to the start of football where basic skills like tackling and blocking against dummies could be taught prior to putting on pads."
A lot of what coaches can do seems to come back to proper technique.
"You don't want to run into something with your head. There's no way in the world I would ever teach that," UConn offensive line coach J.B. Grimes said. "It's a physical game, it's a tough game played by tough people, but there are some things you can't do. You can't out-tough a hamstring, you can't out-tough a heart attack, and you can't out-tough a concussion."

Fourteen Days into Feb. - 2014 @ Friday, February 21, 2014
A lovely rose, from the travelling florist near Purple Peanuts on the 14th.
$20 roses (a single rose that is) at Flinders. Bottom right picture.
Love V'Day crafting! Crayons for Kinder, Confetti Deco Hearts
Mini Cone & Meringue Tops. Burt's Bees Lip Balm.
Things to do with Raspberry M&Ms.
Cookies are always a good idea. But I'm more of a cupcake person.
LuxBite - Cupcake Central - Le Petite Creperie
Death by Food. Please don't use packet mix cheesecake.
Lily found & bought this card, she then framed it!
This only works if you work with bitches, you're a model or you work in an office.
Friday Dessert at LuxBite. I like it but don't love it. Loved the white chocolate mousse, but not so much the jelly within. We shall be back to try other things! Met Cate, a food blogger. It is not cool that they decided to extend the special another week. Le beau & I could have gone together.
Love those roses, would have bought them if I wasn't going to work. That and we were out of hands. Hopefully we can get a special request. I'd estimate it to be around $20-$25 as each flower is normally $5. Free hug! I've never seen this here before. Another balloon guy, on the opposite corner.
Back to the office to get water, and a trip to Purple Peanuts to get dinner.
Thought we knew the way to work and got lost... But we got there eventually!
In between that we spotted a florist selling roses for $5/$10 depending on size.
I wanted to get one after work and he gave me one for free. :) Next Thursday and still alive!
A girl drew cats on cardboard. Lots of cats on cardboard,
various designs and sizes, I bought one for Lily.
Love these, but we're out of space for deco things that aren't framed.
The highlight of the expo!
That's very creative! Made at the drawing table (we have glue & scissors).
Work has asked for pictures, but I kinda failed to take pictures of people...
What do you like to take pictures of?

The Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda faces military action after missing the deadline to disarm. 16 Jan 2015 20:38 GMT | Politics, Democratic Republic of Congo The Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR) had been given until January 2 to disarm, but failed to comply. Now the UN is pushing a military offensive to dismantle the group that has been active in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). It is expected to be the most significant military action against the group. But what are the chances of success? And how much of a threat is FDLR to the region?

Worksheets and lesson ideas to challenge students to think hard about crude oil, alkanes and alkenes (GCSE and Key Stage 3)
The chemistry of carbon compounds is an exciting one. Why is it that organisms on earth have evolved to be primarily carbon based? What other elements could life-forms have utilised? Organic chemistry provides a great context to consolidate students' understanding of bonding, chemical reactivity, enthalpy and separating techniques. It also opens the door to the fabulous world of polymer science.
Where to start?
A link to the Bloomberg Energy and Oil prices. Show your class the price of crude oil as you introduce alkanes – this will inspire any future oil tycoons in your class and show them the importance of distillation in producing more expensive products.
Fractional distillation of crude oil
A great animation to help students understand what is happening inside a fractional distillation column.
GCSE worksheet on the language of fractional distillation of crude oil. The worksheet helps students correctly use the key terms: volatile, viscous, boiling point and fraction. Scaffolding is used to help students gain an understanding of these key terms so they can eventually write their own paragraph explaining how fractional distillation works. This resource was made in collaboration with Sana Badri. (PDF)
GCSE questions and activity on the fractional distillation of crude oil. Students think deeply about what would happen if the fractionating column was set up incorrectly. They are also given a photo of a range of different fractions and predict where in the column they formed. (PDF)
Alkanes and Alkenes
GCSE worksheet on drawing alkanes. Students complete a simple table to write the displayed formula, molecular formula and name of the first seven alkanes. This could be easily adapted for alkenes. The exercise determines whether students understand the concepts of general formula and homologous series. (PDF)
GCSE worksheet to compare alkenes and alkanes. Students complete a modified Venn diagram to compare the structure, reactivity and properties of alkanes and alkenes. This can be completed in groups or individually. A word bank is provided to help support and focus students, if required. (PDF)
The journey of a hydrocarbon – combustion, polymers and cracking
GCSE worksheet on the journey of a hydrocarbon. Students use a series of images to describe the journey of a hydrocarbon. It helps students make links and understand how the processes of cracking, fractional distillation, combustion, polymerisation and global warming fit together. (PDF)
Polymers and addition reactions
You can help students to understand polymerisation by performing the following model. Ask students to build an ethene molecule using molymods. Then ask five students to come to the front of the class – get each student to break the double bond. The link up the monomers. Bring further students to the front of the class until you have a molecule of poly(ethene). You can repeat this activity with propene if you have time. Question around the energetics of the reaction i.e. bond forming and bond breaking. Why are polymers so inert? Why don't plastic bags rot?

I was quite concerned to see Trump talking about "Red Lines" in response to the latest obvious false flag chemical weapons massacre in Syria. His skepticism of the prevailing narrative is well known, so i was quite surprised that he would so quickly seem to drop it in Assad's lap. I've seen quite a lot of commentary to the effect that he knows what he's doing, and his being several steps ahead of his opponents, playing 3-d chess, etc., but I have to confess that I was losing faith in the guy, and even Vox Day was getting a little wobbly -
"At some point, Donald Trump is going to have to realize that there is a reason the neocons and their global policeman approach failed:"
Fortunately, The Conservative Treehouse has a good explanation of Trump's strategy;
" Knowing the rather extensive ground work that has already taken place, there's no immediate reason to believe Putin and Assad do not recognize President Trump's larger strategy."
I guess I'm just not used to a President that can be trusted. It has been nearly 30 years since we've had one that didn't totally suck. Here I go hoping again...

Doctor Who thing of the day: the TARDIS at Hornsey Library
In Crouch End, North London:
Via @thevoiceofboo, who also informs me:
Upstairs in the IF gallery cafe. The cafe is run by a pirate too. And you can go in the TARDIS.
Sounds like an especially cool library.
(If you stumble across a cool Doctor Who thing, feel free to email me with a link.)

Stephen Covey made the word "paradigm" a household term when he authored his famous book, "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People." He defined the word paradigm as "the way we view the world," which is a result of all of our life experiences leading up to a particular moment and human interaction. He further stressed that every individual is unique and sees every interaction with another person through a unique lens that is based on family upbringing, religious beliefs, socio-economic status, education, friends, jobs, race, gender and many other factors. If you have any doubt about this concept, consider what would happen if you gave 100 people from similar backgrounds $1 million to spend on whatever they wanted. What are the chances that any two of these individuals would spend the money in precisely the same way or even remotely on the same things? No two of us are exactly alike, and no two of us have the exact same view of the world. Therefore, every interaction with another person means that we are listening, observing and interpreting whatever is being said through a different set of lenses. We simply do not see everything the same as the person to whom we are speaking.
Understanding that everyone has his or her own unique paradigm and embracing this rather than fighting it or ignoring it is truly the holy grail of human interaction. You cannot be effective with other people if you only see things through your own paradigm and fail to recognize that they probably see it slightly or entirely differently. Why is this important in the club business? Because all we do is deal with people day in and day out. Customers, members, employees, owners and vendors all bring their own paradigm to every interaction. To be effective with all of these people, we must first understand that they see things differently than we do.
So how does this apply to the club industry? Suppose you have an employee who continually sits through meetings and never speaks his or her mind, but then the moment the meeting has ended, you learn that that employee is grumbling to fellow employees or customers about something that should have been discussed in the meeting. You may have even gone to the extent of pressing everyone at the meeting to speak up. However, this particular employee, through no fault of yours, may have come to this job with a paradigm that taught him or her that it is never safe to speak your mind to management. Instead, this employee's experience has taught him or her that managers are out to catch you doing or saying something wrong so they can get rid of you. As honest and open as you may try to be, this employee will not trust you until having worked with you for many years and personally observing that you provide a safe environment where employees are encouraged to speak up. If you want to get this employee to talk, you will need to work harder to win him or her over.
Suppose you have a member who continually complains about everything imaginable with the attitude that management will never do the right thing. No matter how much you try to win over this nay-sayer, you cannot get him or her on your side. Most likely, this member has experienced other clubs or organizations that patronized their members or clients—or worse yet, simply ignored them. This member will not stop complaining until he or she sees a longtime, consistent pattern of acting on issues in a timely and sensible manner. You have to "kill them with kindness" and make certain to follow through on all promises. Over time, the member may begin to believe what you say.
What if you have an owner whose paradigm is that you can't trust anyone, especially your employees? No matter how much you want to convince the owner that you are trustworthy, he or she will always be suspicious due to prior experiences where he or she has been burned. Only time will convince this skeptic that you and your team can be trusted to protect the owner's interests at every turn.
Understanding the other person's paradigm takes extraordinary listening skills. We need to seek first to understand, which is one of Covey's seven habits. To truly get where the other person is coming from, we must become experts at reading body language and emotional signals that tell us not only what is being said but the deeper meaning behind it. Only after understanding where the other person is coming from can we be effective at finding solutions to the problems we face every day in our clubs.
Yes, this can be harder than simply making knee-jerk decisions based upon our own limited understanding and one-sided view of a problem, but the rewards of learning to understand and embrace the fact that others may see it differently can be almost magical. Instead of working in a world of continual confrontation, you can begin to live and work in a world of solutions and mutual benefit. Less stress, less time wasted on doing battle, less cost and far more harmony.
This may all sound a little too "warm and fuzzy" for some, but you only need to work at this if you want to be more effective in dealing with other people. If this is not important to you or to your success, just ignore the advice and continue to see it your way.

The persistent validation vulnerability allows remote attacker to inject own malicious script code via persistent attack vector. The security vulnerability is located in the `Browser title` and `Description meta tag` parameters of the `Editing metadata` module. Remote attackers with privilege web-application user accounts are able to inject own malicious script code to the application-side of the vulnerable module. The validation of the `Search engine results preview` is broken and allows to execute any injected code by the `Browser title` and `Description meta tag` input fields. First the content is client-side included via POST and after the save the content is saved permanently in the database management system. Thus allows a privileged application user account like a translator or limited admin to inject malicious script codes. The execution occurs on each preview of the malicious injected item. The security risk of the xss vulnerability is estimated as medium with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 3.4. Exploitation of the persistent web vulnerability requires a privileged web-application user account and only low user interaction. Successful exploitation of the xss web vulnerability results in persistent phishing attacks, session hijacking, persistent external redirect to malicious sources and persistent manipulation of affected or connected web module context. Request Method(s): [+] POST Vulnerable Modules(s): [+] Forms - Categories - Properties - Metadata & Content Vulnerable Input Field(s): [+] Browser title [+] Description meta tag Affected Modules(s): [+] Editing metadata on review [+] Search engine results preview Proof of Concept (PoC): ======================= The persistent input validation web vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers with privileged web-application user account and low user interaction. For security demonstration or to reproduce the issue follow the provided information and steps below to continue. Manual steps to reproduce the vulnerability ... 1. Download and step the newst application version 2. Setup a full admin account and a restricted admin account 3. Login with a restricted administrator account to the web-application 4. Now move to the Forms - Categories - Properties - Metadata & Content Note: Restricted admins are allowed to edit on this part of the forms module the meta data 5. Now inject to the vulnerable input fields a script code payload with for example a cross site request 6. The first execute takes place as self-xss, click the popup and move to the save button (page buttom) 7. Save the content and logout as restricted administrator 8. Login as full admin and move to the forms module 9. Open the new entry of the restricted admin to edit or preview 10.

Long range Projections of Hawaii's Economy are produced and updated by the Research and Economic Analysis Division of the Department of Business, Economic development & Tourism (DBEDT). The latest update, dated July 29, 2010, shows growth of resident population averaging under 1 percent per year from 2007 to 2035. That amounts to an increase of about 25 percent over the entire period. However, within the population, residents 65 and over are expected increase in number by more than 3 percent annually for much of the 2007 to 2035 period. While this does not sound excessive, it amounts to more than a doubling of this older population between 2007 and 2035.

Sony Will Release at Least Five Smartphone Games By March 2018
Are you ready for PlayStation on your phone?
Sony is preparing to follow rival Japanese games publisher and console maker Nintendo into the smartphone game space in the year and a half ahead, reports Nikkei.
The company plans to create and release five or more phone games by March of 2018, and the games will be based on "popular PlayStation series" and may somehow link to Sony consoles. Some of the games may even be previously released PlayStation titles, as Nikkei says back catalog games that aren't playable on the PlayStation 4 could see a revival. The exact games are expected to be revealed before the end of the year.
As Sony announced back in March, a new division named ForwardWorks has been created to oversee the company's mobile efforts. At the time, Sony said it would "leverage the intellectual property of the number PlayStation dedicated software titles and its gaming characters," which aligns with Nikkei's new report.
The report also states that the handful (or more) games in the works for Sony's next fiscal year will be targeted to Japan and other parts of Asia. In its announcement earlier this year, Sony was even more definitive, stating that ForwardWorks' games were at the time only planed for release in Japan and Asia.
CNBC, however, reported today only that those territories will be the "first" to receive the games.
ForwardWorks' titles will be made available for both Android and iOS devices.

1. Configuration of the Room Entrance
1.1 Entrance to the room is made more difficult by the need to negotiate six steps.
1.1.1 The steps lead 'upwards', to a 'higher' plane.
1.2 The door is located on the stairs (second step) This poses a further, but not the final, difficulty.
1.3 Blocked by the risers, the door only opens outwards, away from the stairway, much like those pivoting barriers, at certain border crossings that are set up against concrete blocks, so they can only open opposite the direction of travel.
1.3.1Opening the door forces one to take a step backwards, down on the first step

text: We trained in the morning and another player joined the team from Australia. The morning involved a light training session with some scenes of play. We were given the afternoon off so after watching Liverpool v Aston Villa at 12pm, everyone went to sleep. The evening session started at 7pm and was pretty good. We played 6-a-side games – the first to 2 goals and winner stays on – then we had a 30-minute full 11-aside match.

Trigger warning.
Yes, yes, I know that's an obscenity within the mental health community. I am however, questioning my sanity and it's terrifying to be back here. This is why I'm not blogging/tweeting much, again.
|via pinterest
I wish I could say I knew what was going on. I wish I could say that 'this' was the point where everything shifted. I wish I was able to open my fucking mouth and tell my CMHT what is happening to me and just how scared I am. I can't, I'm not allowed. I can write.
The obvious point to make is that university has been incredibly intense and while I have loved every second of my time at the medical school, the pressure I feel is immense, I'm exhausted and it's triggered a lot of anxiety. To be honest, that's nothing really out of the norm. I'm finally studying a subject I have a lot of passion for and it's been reflected with my first exam, scoring a first, much to my surprise!
We're well aware that stress can make symptoms worse, and yes my anxiety has taken on a life of it's own. We expected that. What we didn't expect was depression to come crashing down with such force I am struggling to do the most basic of tasks. My body does not want to move anymore. It hurts and I get dizzy. Lily won't leave my side. She was much more independent a few weeks ago but now, she's always with me. Purring. I swear she knows when I'm about to cry. She'll go off into one of her loopy sprints around the house, jumping on all the furniture chirping like anything, just to make me laugh.
I can't tell anyone though. I have to put on a mask and fake my way through everything so they don't know what's going on. I don't know if my CPN knows or not that it's probably not me talking to her, because it isn't. I just sit there watching, entirely unable to say what I need to because something else has control. I'm not part of group treatment anymore because my stupid schedule is so packed I can't make it. What I do find... odd... is that an assessment with psychological services came through way.too.fast. We were discussing the option, but were in agreement that it'd be a way off because of the usual NHS reasons. Why is it suddenly within 2 weeks notice!? I don't know, but I'm (why do I want to type "we're") suspicious.
For a long time, I was anxious but didn't feel constantly scared and fearing for my life. We're back to that and it's exhausting. No matter how hard I push back on those thoughts/voices/whatever the fuck is taunting me, it just makes it worse. Some is specific, some is just a general 'the sky is going to fall down' type of feeling. I'm having the same nightmares, almost every night. It feels like a warning... so I stay inside 99% of the time.
There's more to this I want to say but I can't.... something is stopping me and the noise is ridiculous.
I want to drink. I am desperately wanting the oblivion that benzodiazepines gave me... the relief of putting something sharp into my skin and watching.... I don't know what else will make this stop.
I need to shut up.

Tip! Play this song while reading, I love it… x
Hello everyone!
Long time no see eh? You can already guess the excuse: we were too busy. However! This time it wasn't with the 'bored with homework' kind of busy, it was the 'yippie holiday' kind! We had two weeks off, and even though we still had some work to do, we were also able to relax. I went to the Belgian coast, like I do each year, together with my family. It was super cozy! We play games, walk on the beach, ride go-karts, eat waffles, … Wookiee got unleashed for the first time and she ran so fast, we couldn't keep up with her, not even a little bit! She's quite amazing when she's running on the beach.. Malteke prefers the daily walk through the streets, she's such a sweetheart. ^^ We also bought a kite, and it is so much fun! I can't believe we've never done that before.. The weather was pretty good too, considering that a week earlier it was still snowing like hell. And now, at last, the sun is up!! It's like 20° here now and we have all been longing for that for sooo long. About time! So, now that we're back together at school, and now that the weather is so nice, maybe we'll have the chance to make some more pictures. ^^
Also, I have been looking for a pair of jeans dungarees (never knew it was called 'dungarees' in English, I had to google it, it sounds kind of Australian, doesn't it?) since I was 14, and have now finally found a pair, I'm so happy!! After waiting for them for about 7 years, it's very exciting to finally have them.
Check out some pictures of me @sea, as well as my dungarees (love that word now)!
ps: we have some pretty awesome news, check out our facebook if you can't wait! If you can wait, you'll read it here soon enough!

Once when he was standing on the shore of Lake Gennesaret, the crowd was pushing in on him to better hear the Word of God. He noticed two boats tied up. The fishermen had just left them and were out scrubbing their nets. He climbed into the boat that was Simon's and asked him to put out a little from the shore. Sitting there, using the boat for a pulpit, he taught the crowd. When he finished teaching, he said to Simon, "Push out into deep water and let your nets out for a catch." Simon said, "Master, we've been fishing hard all night and haven't caught even a minnow. But if you say so, I'll let out the nets." It was no sooner said than done—a huge haul of fish, straining the nets past capacity.
They waved to their partners in the other boat to come help them. They filled both boats, nearly swamping them with the catch. Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell to his knees before Jesus. "Master, leave. I'm a sinner and can't handle this holiness. Leave me to myself." When they pulled in that catch of fish, awe overwhelmed Simon and everyone with him. It was the same with James and John, Zebedee's sons, coworkers with Simon. Jesus said to Simon, "There is nothing to fear. From now on you'll be fishing for men and women." They pulled their boats up on the beach, left them, nets and all, and followed him.
-Luke 5:1-11
For anyone that's a fisherman, they know that the best time to fish is at night, because all of the fish are near the top of the water because it is the coolest time of day. When the sun it out, the fish swim to deeper water to stay cool.
Simon Peter was a fisherman through and through. It was his specialty. He knew everything there was to know about fishing. Therefore, he knew that the best time to catch fish was at night, which is why he tells Jesus that they had been fishing all night. They were in the process of cleaning their nets, which was a time consuming process, especially when you are tired and frustrated from catching nothing all night, when Jesus approached Simon Peter.
After Jesus taught the crowd that was following Him, he asks Peter to get in the boat with him and cast his nets one more time. I can imagine what Peter's thoughts might have been: "Jesus, that doesn't make sense at all. The sun is out now, and the fish have gone deep into the water. We won't catch anything. Plus, if I throw the nets out there again, I have to start all over and clean them again. I'm too tired and too frustrated to deal with that right now. Even more, you are a carpenter. What does a carpenter know more about fishing than me? Fishing is my specialty. Again, this doesn't make sense Jesus, but I'll do it because you said so."
We all know what happens next in the story. Simon Peter has to call for help because the nets become so full with fish, that the nets begin to break and the boat begins to sink. They fill the boats with so many fish that they both are almost sinking. Peter can't believe what just happened. None of it makes sense to him, and all he knows to do is to tell Jesus to get away from him because he is a sinful man. When they get to the shore, they leave everything to follow Jesus.
I think all of us have that one thing that is our specialty, just like fishing is Peter's specialty. We know a lot about that topic or occupation, and no one else can tell us anything we don't already know. We are fine with God coming into our lives and working on other things inside of us, but we don't need God to help us in that area of our life, because we got it covered — it's our specialty. However, that's usually the one thing God wants to put His finger on and say, "I want to deal with THAT." It's uncomfortable. It doesn't make sense. But the moment we let Him deal with that thing in our lives, we begin to realize that our identity was found in that specialty, instead of our identity being found in Him. And once that is brought to the light, we then can truly leave our former identity behind, and step into our true identity in God and follow Him without any distractions.
Remember all those fish that they caught — enough to almost sink two boats? That was probably the most money that Simon Peter had even seen in his life, laying right in front of him. In doesn't make sense for Peter to leave behind the biggest catch of his life that would bring him and his family more money than they have ever had. But I think it's important that scripture points out that they left everything behind. They could have just left their boats and nets, but taken the fish. Instead, they left it all, including the fish. I think it beckons us to ask the question, "How badly do we want to follow Jesus?". Because following Jesus, at times, is not going to make sense. It's going to cost us something. For Peter, it was his identity as a fisherman, and the most money he had ever seen laying in front him. Ultimately, you could say it cost him his life.
Just like Simon Peter, it will also cost us our lives as well. If we truly want to follow Jesus, we have to leave everything behind, not just the boats and the nets (our identity/specialty), but the fish too (our well-being and entire lives). Matthew 16:25 doesn't make sense: "For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it." But we have to learn to follow Jesus even when it doesn't make sense. How badly do you want to follow Him?
(This blog was inspired by Pastor Billy Water's message: "Following Jesus When It Doesn't Make Sense" [Wellspring Anglican Church])

Chocolate Lover's Mug Cake
My husband and I like to stay home on Valentine's Day to avoid the
hustle and bustle

To make the doily banner, I simply punched out the letters with my 2" scallop punch. I then glued the letters to the center of the doily, threaded through some baker's twine and simple as that, I had a banner!
To make the burlap banner, I had a left over piece of burlap from a feed sack I used for a home decor project. I cut it to size, hot glued the paper banner to it, added some festooning with hot glue and then glued a pocket for a wooden dowel I had. Again, so easy!
Thanks for looking!

As we gear up for the 'big day' here is a look back at past Grimaldi weddings:
Princess Grace wins, no contest, of course.
Perhaps I ought to do a post on Belgian royal weddings. Ironically given her glamorous reputation, Lilian Baels was the only bride not to have a grand fairytale dress. She was married in a secret ceremony in a simple little black dress, nothing special.

Charles Hadley Blanchard
Charles Blanchard has been active as a weaver and artisan since he began his career in an artists' community in Georgia in the late 1960's. Since that time he has integrated many of the world's weaving traditions and techniques into his unique work. His initial interest was in reproducing traditional Early American patterns in fine linen. Soon he was inspired by saddle blanket designs and their use also as area rugs and wall displays.
Charles has traveled extensively in Europe, Africa and Asia where he has studied and been influenced by the delicate grass weavings and dance mats of West Africa, the bold colours and designs of cotton dhurries of India and the exotic geometric patterns of Nepalese and Tibetan prayer rugs. The elegant designs of the Celts as well as Islam similarly influence his work.
Charles designs unique, one-of-a-kind area rugs and weaves them on a Harrisville Rug Loom. His hand-woven area rugs are a heavy, weft-face twill in a size attractive for home use as wall hangings, prayer rugs or yoga mats. His use of colours and designs spans the range from bold and dramatic to subtle and intricate.
Charles was born in 1947 and was raised in Springfield, Illinois. He received his BA in literature from the University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee, and his MA in Communications from the University of Illinois, Springfield. He taught English in the Peace Corps in Cameroon, West Africa.
Charles works with a variety of fibers including linen, many kinds of wool, silk, alpaca and worsted acrylic. His pieces are available for purchase from his extensive inventory or by commission.
You can see more of Charles' weavings in his studio, DYBERRY WEAVER, on Main Street in Narrowsburg, New York

As a resident with great appreciation of Topsham, and executive director of the Retail Association of Maine, I am frustrated with BYOB-Midcoast's proposed 5-cent tax on plastic bags in Brunswick and Topsham. It is difficult to understand why we would place restrictions on a 100 percent recyclable, reusable, American-made product that is the most environmentally friendly bagging option.
There are several issues with BYOB's arguments. Contrary to their beliefs, plastic bag and film recycling is one of the fastest growing segments of the recycling industry. Even though more than 90 percent of Americans reuse their plastic bags, more than 1.17 billion pounds of bags and film were recycled through retail drop-off locations in 2014 alone. In fact, seven in-store recycling drop-off points are conveniently located within 10 miles of Topsham at stores such as Hannaford, Lowe's and Target.
Second, the notion that plastics are the most numerous pieces of trash found in our oceans and beaches is simply not true. According to the 2015 Ocean Conservancy Report, of the more than 33,000 items collected from Maine's waters, less than 1 percent were plastic bags.
Finally, there is no evidence to support the claim that bans and taxes have any real environmental effect. For example, a Washington Post investigation found that Washington, D.C., collected roughly $10 million since 2010 from its 10-cent bag tax – without making any environmental progress.
What Topsham and communities around the country should focus on is recycling. We can and ought to be working together to find better recycling-based solutions. That is the path best for the residents of Maine.

Special equipment: 12-cup standard muffin tin, rimmed baking sheet
1. In a medium bowl, stir together the rolled oats, creme fraeche, milk, and butter with a wooden spoon until combined. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs together and stir into the oat mixture. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cherries and continue to stir until well combined.
2. In a separate small bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and stir until well mixed. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet oat mixture. The batter will be gloppy. Transfer the batter to an airtight container and place in the fridge. Let the batter sit for at least 8 hours or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
3. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F/180 degrees C, and place a rack in the center of the oven. Line the cups of the muffin tin with paper liners, coat liberally with nonstick spray, or butter and flour them. Spoon about 1 cup/240 ml of the batter into each muffin cup, filling it all the way to the brim and wa-a-a-y over. (It will seem like there's too much batter for the tins, but if you want the characteristic muffin top you need to overfill them. You can make smaller muffins if you prefer and reduce the baking time by about 10 minutes.) The batter will be stiff and firm.
4. To make the topping: In a small bowl, stir together the oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the muffins and place the muffin tin on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown on top and spring back when pressed in the middle with a fingertip. Let cool in the tin on a wire rack for 20 minutes and then remove the muffins from the pan.
5. These muffins taste best the day they are made, but you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you keep them for longer than a day, refresh them in a 300 degrees F/150 degrees C oven for 5 to 6 minutes. Or, you can freeze them, well wrapped in plastic wrap, for up to 1 week. Reheat directly from the freezer in a 300 degrees F/150 degrees C oven for about 10 minutes. Cranberry Variation For a winter version of this addictive muffin, substitute 1 1/2 cups/150 g chopped fresh or frozen cranberries for the cherries. Proceed as directed.
At Flour, we offer a range of muffins that vary with the season. In the spring you might see raspberry-rhubarb; during the cool fall months we feature roasted pear with ginger. These seasonal muffins are made with a simple standard muffin batter that we've used for years and that I share in my first book, Flour. A while back we wanted to introduce a new muffin to the mix-something that was a bit heartier and maybe even healthier, with an emphasis on whole grains. Brian, one of our pastry chefs, offered up this recipe, which we've tweaked over the years to make it ours. I didn't realize how beloved it had become until Flour was published. In between raving about their success with baking cupcakes and homemade Oreos, readers bemoaned the absence of this recipe and made many a desperate request for it. I'm happy to oblige here.

Protests against Donald Trump are pretty routine by now. After all, he is a divisive, historically unpopular president, and manifestly unfit for the job. However, no one has seen a protest quite like the one that comedian Jay Malsky. When Malsky was visiting the Hall of Presidents at Disney World while on vacation, he decided it would be the perfect time to protest against Trump.
Standing in front of the robotic likeness of Trump that can only be described as bizarre and creepy, even for Trump, Malsky loudly chanted "Lock him up! Lock him up!" just like Trump's people love to do to Hillary Clinton.
Here is the video of that moment:
I protested @realDonaldTrump at the #hallofpresidents cuz I'll never get this close in real life probs. #lockhimup pic.twitter.com/jKOQShIdz8
— Earnest Gay Thoughts (@JayMalsky) December 27, 2017
Malsky's antics did not go unnoticed, of course. Security was called, and Malsky was led away in order to explain what he was up to, and why he was shouting at a fake Trump. The video went viral, and Malsky sent the following statement on his protest to Splinter via email:
Donald Trump is a mad man with fascist tendancies [sic] who has persuaded millions of middle-class Americans to vote against their own interests. So I was worried I'd be put on some sort of list (if I'm not already) and probably incur the wrath of ignorant sheeple. But I figured a bunch of them would be at this ride and wanted to show their kids what a protest looks like before Trump murders democracy. If people are upset that I disrupted their family vacation, I hope they'll think about the thousands [of] children being taken away from their parents because of Trump's racist immigration policies, or the parents of the hundreds of trans people murdered each year by transphobic and homophobic people, or the negative impacts of the tax bill on poor and middle-income Americans. I encourage anyone outraged that I interrupted a ride at Disney to check their privelege [sic]."
Malsky also praised Disney's security team, saying that they "could not have been more professional and courteous to me once they made sure I wasn't a legitimate threat to anyone."
Kudos to this awesome, brave comedian. This sort of thing could get one into a lot of trouble these days, but we must stand up while we still have the right to do so. The future of the republic depends upon it.

Sept. 16, 1938-Dec. 1, 2012
Dennis E. ?Norman? Getty, 74, of Billings, Mont. passed away peacefully Dec. 1, 2012.
Dennis was born at home in Dundee, Mich., on Sep. 16, 1938, to Clyde and Helen Getty. The oldest of three siblings, Dennis spent his younger years in Dundee before his family moved to Curtis, Mich., in the upper Peninsula, where he attended and graduated from Newberry High School.
Following graduation, Dennis tried a variety of things before linking his career to his love of aviation when he went to work for United Airlines, where he earned numerous awards and promotions over a career spanning more than 40 years.
Dennis married the love of his life, Rose Marie Getty, June 1, 1957, in Monroe, Mich., and began a journey together that would last for 52 years.
Dennis was an accomplished outdoorsman who loved hunting, fishing and hiking. He loved to read and was an avid student, whose pursuits included fly tying, early American history and archaeology, among others. Dennis loved cooking with his wife, Rose, and they would spend hours in the kitchen perfecting recipes for their family cookbook.
Dennis moved to Billings with Rose in 1984. Although not a native of Montana, they would ever after consider this to be ?home.? Dennis would retire from United in 2001 and enjoy his life with Rose until her passing in 2009. This loss left a void in his life that is now filled as they are once again together and at peace.
Dennis was preceded in death by Rose, his loving wife of 52 years, and his father.
He is survived by his son, Mark; daughter-in-law, Souther; mother, Helen Braun; and sisters, Charlene Breitner and Paula Laroy.
A private memorial service was held celebrating his life, followed by interment at Sunset Memorial Gardens in Billings.

Medical questions & health advice by board certified doctors
"Are adolescent issues the reason my son is acting out?"
My son won't talk to my husband and me. He's in trouble at school and he won't say why. What should we do?
I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your son. The teenage years are a particularly difficult time for both parents and children. At this time, your son is experimenting with independence and learning to be autonomous and to have his own sense of self identity. Obviously this can create conflicts between what he wishes and what you as parents think is necessary for him. The most important strategy is to make sure that you do not close off any lines of communication with your son. In particular, make sure that you give him space to talk about any issues he is facing. Ask open ended questions and if he chooses not to disclose any information, do not feel rejected but rather let him know that you are always there to talk whenever he needs. At the same time, if you have serious concerns about your son's school performance, or any possibilities of bullying, substance abuse, or other serious problems you may want to discretely talk to your son's school principal or main teachers to see if you can gather any additional information and see if they also have concerns. If you need an advocate or someone to help you think through these issues, talk with your son's pediatrician. Good luck.

One advantage of photographing aquarium specimens over wild specimens in the ocean is the lack of damage to the leafy appendages. Another advantage is not having to travel to their breeding waters, since many aquariums around the world now have seahorse exhibits, featuring both "leafies" and "weedies" as Leafy and Weedy Sea Dragons are commonly called by divers. Three of the most recently added seahorse & sea dragon exhibits in the United States are at the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport, Oregon, the New Jersey State Aquarium in Camden, New Jersey, and the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The Tennessee Aquarium also has an excellent online store featuring books, videos, coffee cups and other accessories depicting these most famous of ocean creatures.

I have a 4.9m2 Blade II. The problem is that when I've been flying it for a while on the ice of an lake it gets full of snow. While it's snowing at the same time it gets filled even sooner. There doesn't need to be much snow inside and the kite gets really difficult to control.
So do you have any advice - how to get the snow out from the kite most efficiently while still outdoors? I would like to fly it longer than an hour..
