The rapper revealed, "I've been eating a lot lately to gain weight. I managed to gain 10 kg (~22 lbs)." DJ Kim Tae Kyun replied incredulously, "Where," bringing laughter to the studio.

Sleepy explained, "I even exercise to put on weight. Recently, I didn't want to eat breakfast, but I forced myself to eat after I woke up. Eventually, I would actually feel hungry after waking up," detailing some of the changes to his lifestyle that will lead him to bulk up.
The rapper shocked the DJs and the other guests by also revealing that he only used to eat one row of gimbap a day.
Glad to hear that Sleepy's found a healthier way to manage his weight!

Has anyone tried Green Mountain Coffee? If so what do you think?
I love their coffee, especially their signature blend. It has hints of nuts and spices, but not overpowering. I went to college in Vermont, where Green Mountain is from; my college had free coffee from them. It was wonderful to get a huge mug of their coffee for late night studying!

Snapseed update brings it up-to-date with other photo editors
When Google bought Snapseed, the assumption was that they's simply shutter the app and roll those features into Google+ Photos. Google instead let the app languish, largely untouched, while updating Google+ Photos several times. Today, Snapseed gets its first major update since 2012, when Google purchased the team behind it, Nik Software. With version 2.0, Snapseed gets a few standard photo editing features like lens blur and a non-destructive editing feature that copies edits to new images. The changes affect both Android and iOS, too.

"It is the brain, the little gray cells on which one must rely. One must seek the truth within – not without." –Hercule Poirot
Sometimes the words are so complex, are so complicated things… What if our brains could communicate with each other, what if they could transmit the needful knowledge or information.
The professors, researchers at Washington University believe that the interconnection and communication between brains is possible.
They find out that the certain technology exists right now and they performed a demonstration of this incredible research.
Literally, imagine you are a brilliant scientist, but not a brilliant teacher. So how you're going to explain a complex knowledge? With a help of this tech you are letting someone to enter into your brain and take the knowledge as it is.
The performance was completed successfully and this is not just a fluke.
The team performed tests using 6 people divided into three pairs: one is the receiver the other one transmitter. The transmitter wears EEG machine which reads the brain waves while sitting before the computer game. Their task is to defend the city in the game by cannons however they are not able to interact with it directly, they are allowed only to track thoughts via i-net to their partners being somewhere across the campus.
The info receivers also wear headset device, kind of swimming cap with a help of which brain controls head movements.
Maybe this turned out to be too tough to explain how the system works but this is something which will explore in the nearest future.

Saturday activities: sleep in, brunch on the town, ice cream and coffee, movie at home. In other words, nothing special but cozy and relaxed. The weather is warm, so I wore an easy breathy silk Gucci dress I got on eBay sometime ago. Even though it is a simple dress overall, the side drape design and two hidden pockets make it quite lovely. It is a bit hard photograph the drape, but if you look hard enough, you can see in the 2nd picture. I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend!

WASHINGTON - The Obama administration is preparing to announce that it will provide $35 billion to help state and local housing finance agencies, many of which were hit hard by the economic crisis and forced to curtail or suspend tax-exempt bond programs that allow them to provide affordable mortgages. But the window for $20 billion of the assistance may close by the end of the year.
Under the program, which could be announced as early as today, the Treasury Department would create a market for tax-exempt multifamily and single-family HFA bonds by purchasing up to $20 billion of them through government-sponsored enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
The administration also would provide up to $15 billion of liquidity to help HFAs remarket their variable-rate debt obligations.
However, the Treasury Department's lawyers have been insisting that any HFA bonds the Treasury purchases through the GSEs be issued by Dec. 31, 2009, the sunset date for the department's authority to buy securities from the GSEs under the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008.
If they stick to their guns, the HFAs would have less than three months to issue the bonds.
Congress tried to provide relief for the HFAs under HERA by giving them the authority to issue an additional $11 billion of new housing bonds through 2010 to finance affordable single- and multifamily mortgages. It also provided alternative minimum tax relief for housing bonds and granted states a 10% increase in housing credit authority in 2008 and 2009 to produce affordable rental housing.
Armed with these new resources, HFAs were poised in 2008 to produce 100,000 affordable homes in addition to another 250,000 homes produced as a result of annual housing bond and credit allocations, according to the National Council of State Housing Finance Agencies.
But the act did not anticipate the full extent of the economic crisis. With the decline in investor income, financial institution deleveraging, and growing uncertainty about the economy - especially real estate - investor demand for housing bonds and credits diminished significantly. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, historically large purchasers of housing bonds and credits, have been out of both markets since 2006, sources said. Other traditional bond purchasers, such as banks, mutual funds and insurance companies, have limited their purchases or dropped out of the housing bond market altogether.
As a result, state and local HFAs have been unable to sell long-term housing bonds at interest rates low enough to allow them to lend the bond proceeds affordably, despite a growing demand for mortgages.
As of Sept. 25 of this year, authorities have sold only 91 single family housing bond issues with a total par amount of $4 billion, compared to 232 issues totaling roughly $10 billion last year and 355 issues at $16.1 billion in 2007, according to Thomson Reuters.
The HFAs sold only 42 issues totaling almost $1.7 billion of multifamily housing bonds as of Sept. 25 of this year, compared to 98 issues totaling almost $2.6 billion during the same period of 2008 and 106 issues totaling over $2.0 billion in 2007, the company said.
Housing groups such as the NCSHA and the National Association of Local Housing Finance Agencies have been pushing administration officials for help for months.
HFAs also have had trouble remarking their VRDOs. The financial institutions they have traditionally relied upon to remarket them and serve as buyers of last resort have either withdrawn from the market, been downgraded by credit rating agencies, or are charging excessive fees and imposing unfavorable terms for providing this liquidity, housing sources said.
A number of HFAs unable to find buyers for their VRDOs have been forced to convert them to "bank bonds," requiring them to pay them off under accelerated amortization schedules at high interest rates.
Housing groups argue that the VRDO payments, at a minimum, reduce HFAs' productive housing activity and, at worst, threaten their financial health.
According to Thomson Reuters, only 14 single-family housing VRDOs totaling $630.3 million were credit enhanced through Sept. 25, compared to 72 totaling $2.8 billion during the same period in 2008. Only 42 issues of multifamily VRDOs totaling $1.4 billion were credit enhanced through Sept. 25, compared to 125 issues totaling $3.2 billion during the same period the previous year.

Why I support starting Christmastime early
The season of giving seems to have turned into the season of being pissed off — at non-traditional Santa displays, at coffee cups that don't adequately express the holiday spirit, at the people who are pissed off about the Santa displays and coffee cups. But the biggest so-called controversy is when we should start celebrating Christmastime, as every year it starts creeping earlier and earlier in an attempt to capitalize on the holiday shoppers who are chomping at the bit to start spending money.
Some stores are rejecting that notion, in a savvy marketing move to gain publicity (and therefore, dollars) by bucking the trend. "See us, we are keeping the sacred holiday timeline!" they shout. "We uphold all the traditional values you hold dear!"
Normally, I would agree with them. I hate the commercialization of Christmas, I hate change, and I love companies that seem to stand up for what's right in the face of what makes money.
But not this time.
"We haven't even celebrated Thanksgiving yet!" you exclaim. "The day after Halloween, the stores roll out the Christmas decorations! It's just wrong! Can't we have one holiday at a time?"
This is a fair point. But here's the thing — Thanksgiving just doesn't have much of a lead up to it. It's one day, and besides a bit of preparation at the grocery store or a day of pie-baking, there's not much that happens in advance of the holiday. It doesn't need time to celebrate besides the actual day.
Don't get me wrong. I love Thanksgiving. It's just not that exciting. It's a cozy, stay-home-and-stuff-your-face-and-watch-football kind of day. It doesn't need nearly a month of lead-in time.
But Christmas does — and more. Every year after Thanksgiving, I scramble to get in all my Christmastime reveling in the month before the holiday hits. Never mind the shopping — what about Christmas parties and cookie baking and Christmas movie watching and Santa trains and tree trimming and caroling and card writing?
It's nearly impossible.
I've often thought that the holiday season needs to be more spread out. Wouldn't it be great if we could take the calendar and just move things around a bit? There's really nothing of interest that happens between January and April. It's such a boring, dreary time of year. What if we could add in a little more time between the summer and Halloween, and then between Halloween and Thanksgiving, and finally (and most importantly) between Thanksgiving and Christmas? Then all the holidays could get their due, no one would be complaining that Thanksgiving is getting the shaft, and we'd be saved the boring-ness that is the winter and early spring. (At least the winter has the possibility of snow days. Don't even get me started on the drab, dull, brown month of March.)
So this year, I've decided I'm OK with the blatant disregard of Thanksgiving in favor of a jump-start on Christmas. Turkey Day, I haven't forgotten you. I will look forward to your yummy deliciousness, Macy's parade, football, and my favorite (only?) Thanksgiving movie, Home for the Holidays.
But Christmas, I welcome you early. I don't mind if radio stations have started playing Christmas music already — just today I heard "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," my all-time favorite holiday song from my all-time favorite holiday movie, Meet Me in St. Louis. I don't care that I'm currently watching a Christmas commercial for the Hess truck that came on during a football game in which the players are dressed in bright red and green (a subliminal message?).
I embrace the winter-themed decor in stores, traditional or not (after all, I never believed in Santa anyway). Even though I'm still eating Halloween candy (what? better me than my two-year-old), I will start thinking about my holiday eats and actually might start my Christmas shopping.
I love Christmas, so I don't mind jumping on the early bandwagon.
How do you feel about starting Christmastime early? Do you think we should wait until after Thanksgiving?
Foggy Mommy goes international!
Just wanted to share that my Huffington Post piece "Why I Don't Plan on Telling My Kid About Santa" has been picked up by Kidspot, an Australian parenting site, and Huffington Post Brazil!
Do parents face peer pressure too?
After my Huffington Post piece about how I don't plan to introduce the concept of Santa to my son, I received a lot of feedback thanking me for going against the grain of what's "expected" for your kids at Christmas. I've also read a lot of other articles, and heard from other moms in my FB groups, about the pressure they feel Elf on the Shelf puts on them. Coming up with new and exciting poses for a creepy elf doll every night? No thank you!
But this got me wondering: We talk about the peer pressure that kids face, but is there a sort of peer pressure for parents as well? As if you need to follow certain trends, or just "the way things are done," and if you don't, you – or worse, your kid – will be ostracized?
This worries me, because in many ways I don't feel like I'm the "typical" parent. I don't follow all the rules, Santa being one of them. For all the positive messages I got from secret Santa-haters (people who secretly hate Santa, not people who hate participating in secret Santas), I bet there were a lot of other moms who thought I was downright weird for not including him in my child's Christmas celebrations. Maybe this explains why the piece itself got ten thousand likes, but when I posted it on my own Facebook page it got a grand total of…three.
Because of my past experience with struggling to have a child, I still sometimes feel like I'm on the outside looking in. So things that might seem to other moms who fell into motherhood easily to be just the way things are done, don't seem that way to me. I already feel like I'm an outsider, like I'm different, that that is all strange and new. So I just don't "get" many parenting trends.
I blame Pinterest for a lot of it. Like Martha Stewart's magazine, looking at all the cute and crafty ideas for everything from birthday party decorations to desserts to Elf on the Shelf setups has the (unintended?) consequence of feeling that you need to aspire to do them; and that if you don't, well, you're just not as crafty or smart or involved as the moms who do. I love looking at that stuff, I admit it. But I do feel inadequate afterwards, because I know I don't even have it in me to attempt any of it. It just exacerbates my mom guilt.
And it's not just about making things. It's also about what family activities you do, what traditions you have, what social expectations exist for us as parents. And a lot of that is fueled by social media. For example, I never did the monthly sticker pictures – every month in the first year of your child's life you put a sticker on his onesie and take a picture (and, even more importantly, post it on Facebook). Although, I admit that I did do the ubiquitous smash cake for LM's first birthday. Other items to check off your family Facebook to-do list: Taking a hayride to a pumpkin patch in the fall. Getting professional holiday photos done. Sitting on Santa's lap. Everything is a photo opp, and though I love taking pictures, I hate that there has become a social expectation that you will have certain photos for every season, and you will dutifully post them on FB just like everyone else.
Does this mean that I'm a secret non-conformist?
I'm sure it will only get worse when my son starts school. At holiday time, maybe he'll come home asking why we don't have an elf, or why he doesn't get gifts from Santa. Or he'll ruin Santa for kids who do believe, the way I outed St. Nick to my first-grade class, and then all the other moms will hate me.
I don't know how I will handle that when it happens. For now, I'm still working on not comparing myself to other moms or my son to other kids. I'm trying to make peace with being a mom who's, well, maybe a little lazier than others; or maybe one who just puts more emphasis on different things. Maybe there are other kid-related activities I would rather spend my time doing instead of coming up with 30 ways to position an elf. So maybe our family will have other traditions that aren't the norm.
The interesting thing is, I don't know any actual moms who make me feel peer pressured (yet, anyway). But somehow the inertia of Facebook and Pinterest put forth the idea that there are all of these "things" I need to do in order to be a good mom. I'm tired of holding myself to some impossible, cookie-cutter standard that probably doesn't really exist anyway. I just don't have the time, or the energy, or the inclination.
Do you feel parental peer pressure? Do you think it comes from social media, or other moms, or both?
Why Santa won't be visiting this year (or ever)
No, it's not because LM has been naughty! Check out my latest Huffington Post piece to find out why I'm not a believer.
Bah, humbug! Merry Christmas!

Wine delivery made easy
Living in a digital world, we now have almost everything available at the click of the button—including wine. Whether you are throwing a dinner party, planning a wedding or just stocking up on a few bottles to enjoy yourself, wine delivery can be a great time and money saver. Let's face it, the ease of purchasing wine online and having it delivered to your door is a convenience that we are happy to provide.
Wine delivery laws
While we'd love to be able to offer wine delivery to every state in the U.S., we are restricted by state laws and we ship our wines in accordance with California alcohol laws. We recommend, to avoid disappointment, that you check our terms and shipping policy before placing an order. When you have successfully placed an order on selectwine.com, we aim to have your wine delivery reach you ASAP, i.e., orders placed and received on Mondays or Tuesdays by 5:00 p.m. (EST) will be shipped the same day, weather permitting.
Specific wine delivery times are determined by the courier company once the box leaves our warehouse. To make sure your wine order reaches you in a respectable timeframe, we advise that you use a commercial address for shipment as signature is required upon receipt. The persons ordering and signing for the wine must be aged 21 or older. We cannot deliver wine to PO boxes or AOP addresses.
Summer solutions
As we approach the summer months, it is important to note that wine cannot be shipped across country by ground during this period of time, due to higher temperatures and the potential damage it can have on the product. To solve this issue, we offer a couple of options:
- Customers can take advantage of free summer storage. This is offered at no additional cost and allows our customers to purchase our great finds at a great price, while the inventory is available. We will keep your wine at our warehouse until the temperatures cool and we are sure it is safe to ship without incurring heat damage.
- Pay additional shipping charges to have wine shipped overnight in packaging that will keep it cool. This is for those times you just can't wait and it will cost more than our standard $9.99 for up to 12 bottles.
Best wine pricing
In addition to making your wine delivery and shopping experience as easy as possible, we strive to keep the overall costs to our customers as low as possible. We do this by shopping the market to find the best wines, some that you know and some that you may not have yet discovered. We work with winemakers and distributors and save you money by not having the extra expense of a brick-and-mortar store. Combine this with our flat rate shipping for up to 12 bottles, which you can also mix or match to fill a case. This keeps your wine collection that much more interesting!
Our mission at selectwine.com is to bring our customers the best selection of wines, at the best prices and deliver them right to your door. Think of it as happy hour prices from an à la carte menu.
At selectwine.com we also pride ourselves on making the purchasing and wine delivery process as easy as possible. That is why we give our customers the option of accessing our website, to shop anytime from anywhere, or for a more personal touch, you can call us directly to place your order by phone at 949.903.3316 and speak to Matt, our resident wine sage, to answer questions and provide recommendations. If you don't like either of these options, or you are experiencing technical difficulties with our website, please email firstname.lastname@example.com and we will work with you to rectify any issue or take your order via email.

Crooked Horn Bino System Review
Binoculars are as much a part of hunting as hiking boots and a skinning knife; few hunters leave home without them. Nearly all manufacturers of binoculars will include a neckstrap, either fancy or plain, with the purchase of a new set of binoculars. Neckstraps are a great way to carry binos for a short while on scouting trips; but spend a day hiking with heavy bouncing binos on your chest or stomach. After a few hours of bouncing binos, you'll quickly start packing the binos away where they are least accessible when you happen to jump game a few hundred yards away when coming around a ridge.
One solution to the bouncing bino problem is to use a more advanced bino strap system. Crooked Horn Outfitters developed their Bino System as a way to securely hold the binos to your chest at all times where they are ready for quick use when afield.
The Bino System has two straps that go around your arms and are bound together in the back by a piece of leather. On the front of each strap is a quick release retainer that holds each side of the binocular to a strap holding it securely to your chest. This keeps the binos out of the way when you're not using them, but still keeps them quick and easy to access.
In order to attach the binoculars to the quick release retainers, Crooked Horn includes a set of zip ties and steel rings. Simply zip-tie the rings to each side of the binos where the neck strap would usually attach. Then snap the rings into the quick release retainers. Crooked Horn has a brief video on YouTube that shows how to attach the steel ring to the binoculars.
When using the Bino System afield it will not completely eliminate bounce especially with heavy or large binoculars. However it does eliminate most of the bounce and places most of the weight of the binoculars on the shoulders rather than the neck. Over the course of several days the Bino System is much more preferable to a neckstrap if you will be hiking any length of time. Another bonus to the Bino System is that they keep the binos attached to the hunter at all times, this may seem trivial, unless you have set down your binos (just for a moment!) then accidentally walked away.
Crooked Horn also manufactures a few acces...

My teenage son Karl became withdraw after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year. At this rate he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.
One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help. "Please God, I can't do anything more for my son. I'm at the end of my rope. I'm giving the whole thing up to you."
I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. "I want to talk to you about Karl's absences." Before he could say another word, I choked up and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. "I love my son but I just don't know what to do. I've tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It's out of my hands." For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, "thank you for your time", and hung up.
Karl's next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll. In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, "Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?" I nodded. "That was I. I thought I'd play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That's when I knew I had to make you proud."
61. by saying "Karl became withdrawn", the author means that the boy changed entirely and _____.
A. preferred to stay alone at home
C. refused to talk to others B. often escaped school D. began to dislike his mother
62. There was silence on the other end of the line because _____.
A. the speaker was too moved to say anything to the mother
B. the speaker waited for the mother to finish speaking
C. the speaker didn't want the mother to recognize his voice
D. the speaker was unable to interrupt the mother
63. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Children in single-parent families often have mental problems.
B. Mother's love plays an important role in teenagers' life.
C. Being understood by parents is very important to teenagers.
D. School education doesn't work without full support from parents.

Throughout the centuries, conquest, war, and unspeakable acts of racist violence and colonial dispossession have all been justified by citing Western civilization's fundamental opposition to the irreconcilable differences represented by indigenous tribal peoples.
This Colloquium presentation is based on Professor Williams' recently published book, Savage Anxieties: The Invention of Western Civilization. In the lecture, he will explore the history and consequences of the denial of indigenous peoples' human rights to lands and resources in the West from the time of the ancient Greeks and Romans up through Canada's 21st century treaty negotiations with First Nations in Britsh Columbia and its 2007 vote against the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

Best Supplement for Bulldogs
written by: Stefanie Kyak
English Bulldogs deserve everything wonderful. They are our goofy companions with big personalities trapped in a short, stout, compact body – and our bullies make us literally laugh out loud all day long. We want to give them every chance to live long, full and happy lives.
In a Hurry? Skip Directly to Our Picks For Best Bulldog Supplement Using the Links Below:
Puppy / Skin + Coat / Senior / Joint + Hip
However, sometimes their metabolic systems work against that mission. Bullies can have sensitive tummies, skin, eyes and joints… It can be a real uphill climb sometimes.
If you're searching google for a supplement/vitamin for your bully I've no doubt, you already work hard to keep him happy and healthy.
All natural food sources. Healthy treat options. You exercise your stubborn, stout friend too… One of the first things a Bulldog owner learns about excercising is that with Bulldogs, games like fetch are more like "keep away" (Because she just doesn't understand that once she goes to fetch for the ball, it goes back to you…)
Despite all of the great care we take of our Bulldogs, many of us just want to be sure we're doing all we can for them health-wise. Veteran bulldog lovers would tell you that's where a great supplement should enter the stage.
How to Find a Good Supplement For a Bulldog
Getting the right food is usually tough enough and supplements can be overwhelming. For this reason, some Bulldog owners try to compensate by stockpiling one or two supplements they're most familiar with – like glucosamine or Vitamin E – but are unaware of the correct ratio of nutrients dogs require. Exclusively using just one particular vitamin can actually be harmful-wasteful at best.
An unbalanced diet will put undue pressure on the cardiovascular system. It places unnecessary risks on a k-9 like obesity, diabetes, osteoarthritis, and worst of all, malnutrition. It's for these reasons I want to encourage you to consider only supplements that include the whole spectrum of vitamins and minerals unless you've been otherwise instructed by your vet.
A great supplement will source nutrients from whole and natural ingredients – like Cod oil for Omega fatty acids and Brewer's Yeast for zinc and B-Complex vitamins.
Stay away from chemically sourced vitamins and minerals… as most supplements on the market use industrial waste products like cobalt, cyanide, hydrogenated sugar, acetone, and Isobutyraldehyde with formaldehyde because the shelf life is long and those supplements are cheaper to produce. Lastly, make sure there is no mention of corn and wheat in the ingredient list.
3 reasons The Missing Link Supplement is totally worth your while:
First, the product line uses wholesome, natural, plant-based, and human-grade ingredients. I find it reassuring that the ingredients list doesn't include chemically concocted serums with really, really long unpronounceable names.
What you'll find are herbal and natural super-foods (foods packed with a ton of nutritional value) that will simply add amazing benefits to your bulldog's diet.
- For example, The Missing Link is loaded with excellent nutrients like taurine (cardiovascular health, musculoskeletal health, retinal health), Vitamins B complex including B1, B2, B3, B6 and B12 (generalized metabolism and carbohydrates support) and yucca schidigera extract (reduces arthritis by restoring cartilage, reduces trans fat digestion and thus reduces cholesterol, reduces colitis and irritable bowel syndrome, and detoxifies the intestinal track) to name just a few.
- Those nutrients are drawn from all natural ingredients included in The Missing Link like beef bone, beef liver, carrots, dried fish, broccoli (folic acid), lemon balm, organic cranberries, organic dried blueberries, oyster (freeze dried), and more.
Second, the company is transparent as to where the ingredients come from – US, Canada, New Zealand and Argentina. Taken directly from The Missing Link's website, "Our premium ingredients are chosen individually based on efficacy, purity, and safety to ensure that our fur kids only consume the best whole food nutrition".
- As a bulldog owner, I want great ingredients that support my Bulldog's best chance at health and longevity. I also love the idea of supporting a 125-year-old company that has a long history of veterinarian approved, good ol' American ingenuity.
Third, even if your bulldog's digestive tract has been performing poorly, the natural dietary fibers, omega-3 fats, and pro-biotics will fill fight back vigorously. Like in human nutrition, these components mightily support colon health by creating a healthy microbe environment and initiating "bulking" (or the creation of indigestible substances that scrape and clean the colon as well as absorb extra water to produce healthy stools).
- The omega-3 fats in The Missing Link are not only great for skin and eyes, but help at the cellular level of a bulldog's system to aid in fat-soluble nutrition absorption as well as efficient cellular processes for maximum bulldog energy.
- Simply put, whole body nutrition will give our bully's a fighting chance at whole body health. The Missing Link provides all the answers to the missing links in a bulldog's nutrient needs. It is one of the best supplemental options out there because everything you need is in one convenient package.
For Bulldogs, The Missing Link does exactly what it's name suggests – it fills in the "missing links", or missing holes in a dog's diet, that can be left by the commercialized dog food industry. This supplement's producer has literally jam-packed it's product line!
Skin and Coat Supplement for BulldogsThis Skin and Coat formula is great for a Bulldog that experiences excessive shedding, dry and brittle fur, hot spots, tearing, inter-digital cysts, acne, sensitive pads and dry nose, as well as general skin irritations like flaky and itchy skin.
This is also a great supplement for Bulldogs with alopecia and bald spots caused by allergies. It supplements using natural oils like cod oil, vegetable oil, and olive oil (for a healthy production of skin protecting oils).
While this formula specifically targets skin and coat, it's rich and vibrant nutrient sources, such as Omega 3 & 6, enhance metabolism, strengthen the musculo-skeletal system, immune system and digestive tract.
This formula is also wonderful for eye heath and, thus, will help support and aid in easing discomfort due to conditions like cherry eye, conjunctivitis and dry eye.
More on Bulldog Eye Care in This Article.
Hip and Joint Supplement for BulldogsThe Hip and Joint formula is absolutely recommended for Bulldog suffering from or who are more prone to bone and joint abnormalities.
This product will noticeably help ease pain caused by arthritis. This thanks to the inclusion of a huge concentration of Omega fatty acids. These Omegas are awesome for muscle, tendon and ligament function and help control the deterioration of muscle and bone mass.
This formula from The Missing Link is specifically intended to target disorders common to bulldogs like hip dysplasia and elbow dysplasia, shoulder luxation, and spinal problems. Although none of these conditions can be reversed, this supplement is proven to work at soothing pain and discomfort.
The addition of Glucosamine (an amino sugar that aids in cartilage reconstruction and alleviation of arthritis to encourage mobility and fluidity in joints) handles all of this. It will also assist with generalized inflammation and difficulty in movement due to joint pain.
…"aging dogs may also have arthritis in their knees, elbows, and shoulders and cartilage loss or damage that respond to glucosamine and chondroitin." – PetEducation.com
This is the best supplement for Bulldogs that have become slow to rise to a standing position after sitting or laying, avoid physical activities that were previously enjoyed or appear to have lost muscle tone in the legs.
Bulldog Puppy Supplement
This formula will be a great beginning to your new baby bulldog's life! The omega 3 and 6 will help with brain development and immune system support, but also aid in the health of eye, ears, teeth, and gums.
Omega fatty acids are also thought to promote healthy and thriving heart function as well as decreasing inflammation.
As mentioned earlier, the wrong balance of even the best vitamins and minerals can be harmful and wasteful. The Missing Link is so cool because in partnership with a great dog kibble, it ensures your Bulldog puppy is receiving the best of nutrition.
The Missing Link's ability to help a young pup's growing body to function correctly and govern everything from digestion to bone and muscle growth pretty much makes it a must have.
Simply said – This formula will give your puppy a jump start on a healthy life!
Senior Dog Care Supplement
Like the a fore mentioned Hip and Joint formula, The Senior Health Formula is also great for bone and muscle health, but focuses on a wider range of healthy nutrition like overall metabolic support(metabolism) and skin and eye health.
Still, added super-foods like Green Lipped Mussels will support pain relief and joint support – again, excellent for Hip Dysplasia and spine issues.
*If your Bulldog is 6 years or older and doesn't show continuous signs of pain or weakness in his bones, joints or muscles, this supplement would be most fitting for him.
The Omega 3 & 6 nutrients will help with irritable bowel syndrome (reduce colitis and cleansing of colon) and eye sight support (encourages retinal health). The Senior Health Formula will give your senior bulldog more comfort and ease in stool production (better poo), inter-cellular energy production(more energy), and an immune system boost (less prone to illnesses).
Plain and simple, this supplement option will help your senior bulldog age with grace.
Supplement Dosage
Each of the formulas listed suggest 1 teaspoon per day for dogs up to 25lbs and 2 teaspoons per day for dogs weighing 25lbs-50lbs.
As with anything you give your bully, be sure to follow the dosage suggestions on the label for safety's sake. I also encourage you to slowly introduce into your Bulldog's diet any new supplement you decide to use. This final suggestion is standard with any new change in diet and will help ensure your Bulldog's tummy doesn't become overwhelmed.
Final Word on Bulldog Supplements
These four formulas target their own specific area of a Bulldog's body, but each of the products has a few things in common:
Each of these supplements has been especially known to fortify urinary tracts creating a reduction of uric acid, providing better defense against injury due to stronger bones and ligaments (due to oils and fat absorption). Also, Bulldog owners typically report their bullies inherit slimmer figures due to a more speedy and efficient digestive tract and less bloating thanks to pre-biotic and pro-biotic support.

CHRIS SIMPSON SCORES FIRST EVER SLOCUM 50 – OLIVER JR. & POHREN ALSO SLOCUM RACE NIGHT WINNERS!thirtyfour
Chris Simpson Scores First Ever "Slocum 50" Win at 34 Raceway by Brian Neal
West Burlington, IA (Saturday, April 15, 2017) – The much anticipated "Slocum 50" was held on Saturday, April 15th at 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa, and with the weather forecast bleak everything was moved up one hour in hopes of beating mother nature. Many might believe a certain angel, Brent Slocum, was looking down on the track on this night, as severe thunderstorms moved into northern and west central Iowa much of the night. But nothing reached 34 Raceway until the night was completed and many had left for home.
The first feature to take to the track was the 20 lap WT Gabeline & Sons Trucking 305 Sprints, with Harold Pohren and Shane Quam drawing the front row. Pohren took advantage of his starting spot to grab the lead on lap 1 over John Schulz and Tanner Gebhardt. The action up front was slowed for the first time on lap 4, when Nick Guernsey and Donnie Steward spun in turn 2 to bring out the yellow. On the restart Pohren jumped back out front, with Schulz and Gebhardt still close behind. Just after lap 5 was scored complete the second caution of the race appeared, as Colton Fisher spun off the track in turn 2 to bring out the yellow. Pohren once again grabbed the lead on the restart, with Schulz and now Quam following. Just as Pohren started to pull away from the field, the final caution of the race came out
on lap 9. This time Brayden Gaylord spun off the track in turn 2 to bring out the yellow. On the restart Pohren moved back out front, with Schulz and Quam close behind. While Pohren paced the field out front, Ben Wagoner, who started 11th, used the top of the track to work himself into second on lap 18. But he wasn't able to chase down Pohren for the lead, as Pohren held on to pick up the win and the $1,555 top prize to go with it. Wagoner settled for 2nd and won the hard charger award, Schulz was 3rd, Quam was 4th, with Jarrod Schneiderman rounding out the top 5.
David Brandies and Abe Huls led the field to the drop of the green flag in the 20 lap Pepsi IMCA Stock Car feature, with Brandies jumping out front on lap 1 over Huls, and Tom Schmitt. The action up front was slowed for the first time on lap 3, when Schmitt, who was running 3rd, slowed with a left rear flat to bring out the yellow. On the restart Cody Washburne spun in turn 2 to bring the yellow light back on. The following restart had Redmann edge out Brandies at the line to lead lap 4. But Brandies would come back on the top of the track to take the lead back on lap 5. While Brandies and Redmann battled for the lead, John Oliver Jr., who started 9th, worked his way to the front. The great action up front was slowed for the third time on lap 7, as Schmitt spun in turn 1 to bring out the yellow.
Brandies jumped back out front on the restart, with Oliver Jr. and Huls close
behind. On the completion of lap 8, Michael Larsen got sideways coming off turn 4 and collected Ray Raker and Mark Bowman to bring out the fourth caution of the race. Once again Brandies grabbed the lead on the restart, with Oliver Jr. and Tom Bowling Jr., who over took Huls for third, close behind. Brandies then held the lead until lap 12, when he slipped high in turn 2 that allowed Oliver Jr. and Huls to go by for first and second. Then after the lap was scored complete Larsen spun in turn 2 to bring out the final caution of the race. On the restart Huls slipped under Oliver Jr. coming off turn 4 to edge him at the line by inches. Only to have Oliver Jr. slip back by to lead lap 14. Huls didn't give up though, as he was able to slip under Oliver Jr. to take the lead back on lap 17. But Oliver Jr. again slipped back by Huls to take the top spot back on lap 18. Huls tried to work under Oliver Jr. over the final 2 laps. But Oliver Jr. would hold him off to pick up the
win and the $1,055 top prize to go with it. Oliver Jr. also won the hard charger award. Huls settled for 2nd, Redmann was 3rd, Dustin Griffiths was 4th, with Bowling Jr. holding on for 5th.
The final feature to take to the track on the night was the 50 lap Corn Belt Clash Late Models, with Chad Simpson and Brian Shirley making up the front row. Chad Simpson, Shirley, and Chris Simpson raced three wide into turn 1 on the drop of the green flag, but it was Shirley who emerged from turn 2 to lead lap 1 over Chris Simpson and Chad Simpson. Coming off turn 4 to complete lap 2, Chris Simpson was able to slip under Shirley to grab the top spot away, with Chad slipping past Shirley for second one lap later. Chris was setting such a fast pace that he would start to enter lapped traffic by lap 9. Then by lap 14 he encountered heavy lapped traffic, which allowed Chad to cut into his straight-away lead.
While brothers Chris and Chad raced through lapped traffic, Bobby Pierce, who started 11th, was working his way towards the front. On lap 25 Pierce worked himself into 4th, as Chris and Chad continued to maneuver lapped traffic. Once Chris had a clear track in front of him, he started to pull away again. Then on lap 40 more lapped traffic allowed Chad to close back in on Chris' back bumper, which also helped Pierce to close in. Coming off turn 2 on lap 47, Pierce slid up in front of Chad to take over the runner up spot. But he wasn't able to catch Chris over the final 2 laps, as Chris went on to score his first ever "Slocum 50" win and the $10,555 prize to go with it. Pierce settled for 2nd and won the hard charger award. Chad Simpson was 3rd, Shannon Babb was 4th, with Shirley coming home in 5th.
Coming up next week, Saturday, April 22nd, at 34 Raceway is Mountain Dew Kick Start Night. The WT Gabeline & Sons Trucking 305 Sprints, Victory Lane Suspension IMCA Modifieds, Pepsi IMCA Stock Cars, Casebine Credit Union IMCA SportMods, Sunoco Fuel Mod Lites, IMRA Midgets, and Sonny's Market 4 Cylinders will all be in action on the night. All classes will be draw / redraw, with track points being awarded along with IMCA national, regional, and state points in the Modified, Stock Car, and SportMods.
Pit gates will open at 4:30 PM, the grandstands at 5 PM, hot laps at 6:30 PM, and racing at 7 PM. Grandstand admission will be $10 for adults, seniors (60+) and students will be $8, and kids 10 & under FREE! Pit passes will be $25.

When Opal finally becomes friends with Dunlap and Stevie Dewberry.
Author's Message
The author's message is that you should give people a second chance. This is the author's message because when Opal met Amanda she thought she was pinched face, so she called her pinched face Amanda. But Opal did not know that Amanda's little brother drown when he was only five. When Opal learned this the started being nicer to her. Also in the beginning of the book Opal gave Winn-Dixie a second chance because he was a stray.
Creative Connector
Winn-Dixie is based of a Berger Picard. A Berger Picard is a medium sized dog that is well muscled and longer than tall. The coat is harsh and crisp the touch, and is about 2-2.5 in. long all over the body. The strong thick hair is not fluffy and light, it doesn't fly around in the wind. The coat colors include grey, grey black, blue grey, and red grey. The ears are high-set and quite wide at the base.
Criminal-nature of involving crime
(Page 133 Paragraph 2)
Thunder- loud, explosive, resounding noise (Page 153 Paragraph 3)
Pathological- mentally disturbed condition (Page 162 Paragraph 5)
Ghost- soul of a dead dead person (Page 174)
Hymns- song or ode in praise or honor of god (Page 175)
Palmetto- any various palms having fan shaped leaves (page 45)
Irritating- annoying or provoking (page 53)

Throughout the book there were many connections. Some of the connections are when Winn-Dixie smiles he reminds me of my dog, she does the same exact thing. Another connection is when it says "she could'nt stop drinking" it reminds me of captain Jack because he always seems to be drinking. When Littmus walked home and it wasn't there this reminds me when I was looking for Sonic and where the Sonic should be in a dark alley. The last one is when Winn-Dixie tried to take the candy it reminded me of my dog when she tried to take my clean socks out of my hand when I was trying to put them on.

The climbing Morning Glory, as Ipomoea tricolor (syn. I. Rubro-caerulea) is called. Is a splendid pot plant for the cool greenhouse with its beautiful blue trumpet-shaped flowers. Botanically it is now called Pharbitis tricolor but it is still listed by nurseries under its former name. Heavenly Blue, a bright azure blue, is the most popular of its varieties; Flying Saucers has large blue and white striped flowers; Pearly Gates is pure white; and Scarlet O'Hara dark red. The flowers themselves last only one day but there are always buds opening to provide a continuity of colour over quite a long period.
Ipomoeas are raised from seed sown in late March or early April. Place them separately in 3-in. pots of seed compost and germinate at a temperature of 16°C. (60°F.). The seed coat is rather hard, and seed germinates best if it is chipped or soaked in water for 24 hours before sowing.
The resulting seedlings should be accustomed to full light as soon as possible and should subsequently be potted on into 4-in. and 6-in. pots when they are ready for these moves, using the John Innes No. 1 Potting Compost. The growths must be given the support of canes or wires to which the stems can cling and twist themselves around, for well-grown plants can reach a height of 8 to 10 ft.
Sometimes three plants are grown in an 8-in. pot with twigs, light trellis or wire for support. These plants should have John Innes No. 2 Potting Compost.
Plants raised in the greenhouse can also be planted in a sunny position in the garden in June. Again, they must be given support, and trellis on a sunny wall would be ideal.

Wedding parties of 30 or less can use the Center's Peace Garden, complete with wooden gazebo and Tibetan prayer flags. The Sedona Room, with wood-beamed ceiling and cozy fireplace, holds 80 guests and is popular for winter weddings, says Nancy Spheeris, Sedona Creative Life Center director.
Zoning restrictions prohibit alcohol or outdoor live music, so receptions typically go elsewhere. However, the Center's beautiful patio with bronze sculptures and running water has hosted pre-reception gatherings. All celebrations must wrap up by 6:30 p.m.
Sedona Creative Life Center's reasonable rates are refreshing: $300 (Chapel), $200 (Great Room or Peace Garden), and $150 (Sedona Room). Rates cover a minimum of two hours; additional hours can be reserved at an extra cost. A $100 security deposit is required for the Chapel and Great Room. The Center allows rehearsals. Call 928-282-9300 or visit www.sedonacreativelife.com.
Tlaquepaque Arts and Crafts Village
Easily the most popular wedding location in Tlaquepaque Arts and Crafts Village – filled with romantic venues that set hearts aflutter while evoking images of old-world Mexican charm – is the Chapel with its white-wash stucco walls, tiled floor, hand-carved leather pews and painting of St. Augustine, Pope Pius X, St. Bonaventure, Samuel, Peter, and John the Baptist. The Chapel seats 35 in the pews (50 with added chairs). Flowers, dripless candles and decorations are permitted, along with live music (the Chapel has amazing acoustics).
Outdoor weddings (60-guest maximum) take place at Patio del Norte and Terrace, known for its stunning water fountain filled with seasonal flowers. The Patio and Terrace are also available for receptions. A popular option includes a ceremony in the Chapel, cocktails on the Terrace and a reception in the Patio. Patio del Norte and Terrace is the only wedding venue in Tlaquepaque where you can see the red rocks.
For larger wedding parties or brides who relish a long walk down the aisle, Calle Independencia, Tlaquepaque's main thoroughfare, can be reserved for weddings and receptions accommodating 100 guests, a buffet, and a dance floor with a DJ or band. Lights strung across the two buildings that flank Calle Independencia can add a festive touch. But if it's intimacy you want, reserve Patio de las Campanas, a cobblestone courtyard bordering the Tlaquepaque bell tower with a maximum capacity of 60 (ceremony and receptions available). The Spanish-style arches and bubbling water fountain give it a cozy, romantic ambiance.
Wendy Lippman, Tlaquepaque's resident partner and general manager, was married at the Chapel over Memorial Day weekend in 2001, followed by a reception at Patio del Norte, with a Native American blessing. Rene at Tlaquepaque catered the event. "It was pure romance," Wendy says. "With the candles, flowers and pink-hued lighting you could imagine it was anywhere you wanted it to be. Our guests were content and never bored."
Site fees range from $400 to $1,000, plus a cleaning deposit. Weddings cannot start before 5 p.m. and music is not allowed after 10 p.m. Tlaquepaque has a bridal changing room and La Sala de los Milagros – an indoor room for 100 people that can be used in bad weather. If you are not getting married at Tlaquepaque but wish to take pictures in its romantic settings, you must secure a photo permit in advance. Call 928-282-4838 or visit www.tlaq.com.

Aquatic-plant specialist and scuba diver focuses on the restoration of native plant communities in lakes, streams, wetlands and marine areas.
What do you do? I am an aquatic-plant specialist and scuba diver, focused on the restoration of native plant communities in lakes, streams, wetlands and marine areas [for Herrera Environmental Consultants in Seattle]. I conduct diver surveys, invasive-species-control operations and mapping. I also work from boats and from land (if I have to).
How did you get that job? I started with a strong interest in plants and soils. I had some wonderful mentors who got me connected to vegetation surveys and the UW Wetland Science and Management Program (Go, WSM class of 1999!). Once working at Herrera, I did a lot of wetland surveys, then got myself into deeper and deeper water: The Herrera dive team was looking for someone to swim behind the engineers and limnologists with a video camera. Offered a chance to fulfill my Jacques Cousteau fantasies, I accepted the challenge and have been diving for work ever since (that was 2004).
What's a typical day like? A typical dive day starts the night before with a pile of gear bins staged for the morning mobilization and a gauntlet of checklists to ensure all the pieces are accounted for. The van is loaded with the inflatable boat and outboard, and I pick up the rest of the dive team on the way to the site. We pack in as much coffee and calories as we can on the way. Once at the site, the van doors open, the crew piles out and a frenzy of dive gear set-up and boat mobilization begins. Once ready, the dive team conducts our pre-dive safety briefing. Then gear on, regulators in and over the side of the boat to begin the workday.
We'll often spend most of the day underwater — truly, a different perspective on the world — mapping plants, pulling weeds or collecting samples and video. Once we're done, everything gets shoved into the van, I pour a bucket of clean water over my head, towel off, and head home to rest up. The next morning will be spent cleaning gear to prevent spreading invasives.

What's the best part of the job? The best part of the job is to witness underwater life in all the surprising and amazing forms it takes. Ever seen a freshwater sponge, a bryozoan or an octopus blowing fresh water over its eggs? In the moments you have to reflect on your setting, it's pretty cool — like swimming in an aquarium. My greatest moment underwater was being wrestled by a river otter. Also memorable (but perhaps not great) are the impressively large leeches that occur in some lakes.
What surprises people about your job? People are surprised about the diversity of Puget Sound marine life and how hammered our freshwater lakes have become. Saltwater dives are surprising in the amazing beauty and diversity, even in areas you would expect to be highly impacted (like Alki — gorgeous!).
Freshwater dives in developed areas are kind of shocking in the amount of garbage that ends up in there (all of the fireworks, lawn chairs, beer cans and lawn darts are still down there, folks!). And this is just the garbage you can see. The water surface does a wonderful job of hiding what lies below.
Let's all work to make that world cleaner for all those who follow. And let's keep invasives at bay by always cleaning your boat and gear when you leave a lake. And never, ever introduce aquarium plants or animals to our native waterways! They have created a mess. Everyone can make a difference, and that is often surprising to most.

Feedback About Simple Bead Patterns:
"Honestly, I am remedial when it comes to bead weaving but, HANDS DOWN!, this tutorial provided the most clear, easy to read and follow instructions I have ever seen. It makes other bead weaving tutorials that also have a good rep for being "easy to read and follow" pale by comparison. I made my earrings without any coaching whatsoever and I can't wait to do the matching bracelet." - Pam
"I started and I can't believe I'm actually doing it! The instructions are very precise, clear and easy to understand. I am impressed with the overall quality of the instructions. They are very professional while still maintaining that bubbly, friendly atmosphere that I feel when I look at their website." - Alisa
