As I've shared yesterday's story about the Sioux Falls driver who assaulted a bicyclist, other bicyclists I know have shared similar stories. It seems all the serious riders I know have had run-ins with motorists who refuse to acknowledge their right to the road.
Many of us are fast enough that we come pretty close to riding at the speed limit, so we're not really slowing things down. Most of our major streets in Sioux Falls are wide enough to permit sharing the lane - giving motorists enough room to obey the three-foot buffer mandated by city law.
Should we bike on the sidewalk? No!
But even slow cyclists have a right to the roads. Drivers sometimes tell me to bike on the sidewalk. If they weren't driving away so fast, I'd take the time to let them know what a stupid idea that is.
If you're one of those drivers who wonders why I'm not on the sidewalk, here's why:
- It's more dangerous. People pulling out of driveways don't look at who is coming down the sidewalk. Try this sometime and you'll see what I mean. You probably don't look either.
- It's more dangerous. Sidewalks are for walking. I think that's why they're called sidewalks. (See that word "walk" in there?) Which means that they're not engineered for biking. Telephone poles and guy wires and signposts for motorists jut out of and across sidewalks all over town, making it easy for anyone going at a decent pace to get knocked off their bikes.
- It's much slower. Bicyclists on the sidewalk must stop at every intersection, even if there isn't a stop sign. At every intersection. Ride a bike to work tomorrow and stop completely every few hundred yards if you don't get my point. You will get it very quickly.
- In some cases it's illegal. For instance, in downtown Sioux Falls. This is because
- It's more dangerous. Small children are on the sidewalk. People walking dogs are on the sidewalk. Wheelchairs and strollers are on the sidewalk. People leave things on the sidewalks.
- Also, it's more dangerous. Many sidewalks simply aren't maintained for biking. Branches are not trimmed well, and if the concrete joints aren't level, they can ruin a wheel.
So not only do we have the legal right to be on the road and to occupy the lane, as you can see, biking is our best option.
And no, driving is not our best option. I will admit that if you're driving a car that weighs several tons, you're safer than I am when I'm straddling a twenty-pound aluminum frame. But what I'm doing is better for all of us, even for you. Think about it:
- Bicycles cause almost no road wear, so we save the city from having to pay for the damage that heavy cars quickly cause;
- Bicycles use no fossil fuels, at least not directly, so we don't increase dependence on foreign oil. We're patriots like that. If you like enriching OPEC, I guess that's your right, but I don't quite get it;
- Bicycling is better for my health, which means that I am probably decreasing everyone's health care costs and staying healthy and productive.
- Bicycling is also better for your health, because bikes don't pollute. So that clean air you;re breathing? You're welcome;
- Bicycles take up less space on the road and in parking lots, which means the road is less congested, and you get a better parking spot. Again, you're welcome.
You and I have the right to drive on public roads maintained at public expense because we all agree it is worth paying for, and the laws make it possible and safe. Those same laws, and that same public opinion, supports the right of bicyclists to use those same roads.

Ovarian cancer ( ovarian ) is a kind of rare but often fatal disease and can strike at any time in the life of a woman.
Until recently, ovarian cancer is known as the "silent killer" because it usually is not discovered any symptoms until it is known to have spread to other parts of the body . But now researchers have found that the symptoms associated with ovarian cancer may help in early detection.
Experts at Northwestern Memorial says the best protection is prevention methods , understand the risks and recognize possible signs of ovarian cancer .
"Currently, there is no reliable screening test to identify early ovarian cancer . Important for women to get healthy, and immediately go to the doctor if there is a change in their body ," said Diljeet Singh , MD, a gynecologic oncologist and Director of the prevention Program , Northwestern Memorial Hospital ovarian Cancer early Detection and .
Screening for ovarian cancer early because it will improve the survival of a person for five years , which was 30 percent to over 90 percent. But the symptoms of ovarian cancer , often similar to other conditions making it difficult to recognize.
Singh said that women should be aware of possible warning signs that include abdominal bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain , difficulty eating or feeling full quickly , urinary disorders and increasing the size of the stomach.
Singh said that if women experience symptoms is important in every day for two to three weeks , it is recommended to consult your doctor immediately.
Although the symptoms are not obvious , but there are factors that may be able to develop the disease , including carrying a BRCA gene mutation , there is a history of breast cancer or a family history of cancer ovarian over age 45 and obesity . In women at high risk, it is recommended to begin screening at age 20 to 25 years.
According sigh, there are several strategies for monitoring women at risk for ovarian cancer , among others, by clinical examination, ultrasound and physical blood tests every six months . "The purpose of this program is to help women understand their personal risks more equally to help develop methods of prevention and early detection ," he said .
Studies show that there is a way to reduce the risk of contracting the disease from a woman. Women who use birth control pills for at least five years, three times less likely to get cancer of the ovary. In addition, a permanent form of birth control such as tubal ligation is known to reduce the risk of ovarian cancer by 50 percent .
" A diet rich in fruits and vegetables , exercise regularly , maintain a normal body weight and stress management is one way for women to help reduce the risk of ovarian cancer ," he said .

Airlines face Ebola fallout
Health experts say travelers face little risk of contracting Ebola on airplanes, but the disease's arrival in the United States is bringing new worries about its ability to hop between countries and continents.
Those concerns escalated with Wednesday's statement from United Airlines that the Ebola patient now being treated in Texas probably connected through Washington Dulles International Airport on Sept. 20 while en route from Brussels. Federal health authorities have said the patient's trek originated in Liberia — one of several African countries suffering from the fast-spreading Ebola outbreak — but posed no danger to fellow passengers because he had yet to become contagious.
Story Continued Below
Customs and Border Protection officers are watching for signs of the disease in U.S.-bound travelers, with help from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Meanwhile, airline crews are getting reminders about standard procedures for dealing with infected passengers — including tools like gloves, goggles and antimicrobial wipes.
( Also on POLITICO: Communication lapse in Ebola case)
This kind of response has worked before: Health authorities contained a 2003 SARS outbreak that had spread to the U.S. through air travel. And unlike SARS, an airborne disease, Ebola can be transmitted only through direct contact with bodily fluids. The U.S. also has relatively few direct flights to and from Africa.
Even so, Ebola fears helped bring down airlines' stock prices Wednesday, contributing to a 200-point drop in the Dow Jones average. Stock prices for American Airlines, United, Southwest and Delta Air Lines all fell around 3 percent.
So far, U.S. authorities show no signs of escalating their response by barring flights from countries where Ebola is rampant. While the Federal Aviation Administration has broad latitude to limit the travels of U.S. airlines, it has less clear-cut authority over foreign carriers — and in dealing with Ebola, the agency would most likely follow the lead of the CDC or the White House.
An FAA spokeswoman declined to say Wednesday whether the agency could ban flights to or from certain regions based on health concerns, saying she could not get into "hypothetical situations." She repeated that the CDC is the lead agency but that the FAA "will make decisions as appropriate."
( Also on POLITICO: 6 facts about Ebola)
CDC Director Tom Frieden told reporters Tuesday that the Ebola patient being treated in Texas didn't show symptoms on his flight to the U.S.
Frieden said he doesn't think any danger exists for "anyone who was on the flight at that time."
The passenger — identified by The New York Times and other news outlets as a Liberian man — had initially flown from Liberia to Brussels before flying to the U.S., according to news reports. The Wall Street Journal quoted a spokeswoman for Brussels Airlines, "the only carrier that serves Monrovia from Brussels," as saying that "we cannot exclude the fact that this passenger had been on board, but we cannot confirm it."
United said Wednesday that it believes the patient flew from Brussels to Dulles on Flight 951, then to Dallas-Fort Worth on Flight 822.
"While the CDC states it is unnecessary for it or the airline to contact others who were on the patient's flights, United is providing information about the flights United believes the patient took based on information provided by the CDC," the airline said. "We are ensuring our employees have this information and suggest that any customers who have concerns contact the experts at the CDC for further information."

Country Girl
I've been wanting to do a painting where you paint the background, put stickers over the top then paint over your background and stickers, then pull the stickers off to reveal a pop of background from where the stickers were. Well, I finally did it. I finally bought some stickers, and sat down and did this project. Originally, when I thought of doing this, I wanted to use the saying: You can take the girl out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl. Unfortunately, stickers are pricey, which means I would have to buy multiple packs just to use certain letters. I'm on a budget, so, I decided to switch my quote up. I decided to just use Country Girl. Boom. Only one pack of stickers needed.
I knew that I wanted a camo background, so I pulled out my green, brown, bronze, and gold colors, along with black and white to mix and get different tones. After mixing, I decided to pick one color and spread it all over the canvas, then I gradually added more colors while it was wet. When the paint is all wet, it mixes together quite nicely. I let my background dry overnight since I had started in the evening.
The next day, I checked my paint and decided that it was dry and pulled out my stickers. I picked out the letters I needed to use and laid them out on the canvas. After I figured out how I wanted them to look, I flattened out the stickers and chose my top color that I wanted to use. I decided to go with black and painted over everything. After covering the canvas with paint, I let it dry.
After the paint was completely dry, I pulled off my letters to expose the background. It came out to look really nice. I was very happy with my little experimental project.

Monique and De'Andre's Downtown Grand Rapids Winter Engagement Session
Monique and De'Andre contacted me a while back to have some engagement photos done around downtown Grand Rapids. Winter sessions are always a little tricky when you're attempting to do anything other than bundled up photos! They had such classy looking outfits on though for some other photos we'd planned inside, that I didn't want to have them covered up in photos. So they were both amazing sports at the few that we did outside on the blue bridge, but we definitely wanted to do most of them inside on that chilly day!
If you are more into a city or upscale theme for your engagement photographs, I'd love to take you to downtown Grand Rapids to do them! Literally any season of the year, there are always places that you can go that make creative and interesting backdrops. Get in touch if this is your style!

The Bible says that we are to be transformed by the renewing of our mind. The transformation from making the same old mistakes, being controlled by other people and circumstances, escaping anger, depression, jealousy, and more begins with the way we think. We must change the way we think to experience the full measure of God's power in our life. The Transformation Classes teach basic principles that help us align our thinking with the Scripture. Through many years of counseling, I realized that many of us suffer from wrong thinking in the same areas. From this realization, I put together the Transformation class to address four basic thought patterns that lay a foundation for further spiritual growth. I hope you will join me for the next Transformation Class on July 6 from 9am-3pm. Childcare and lunch will be provided. Please sign up on your Connection Card or on the form below.

The First Four Miles/
Good news! In case this writing career doesn't pan out, I suspect I have a strong future in 1-900 phone sex lines as every day I get better and better at this heavy breathing thing.
Yes, today was a running day.
In fact, today's run was one of the longest tempo runs of the FURMAN FIRST program: a one mile warm-up followed by 10 miles at marathon pace, or 8:23/mile for me. Here is what I learned from today's run:
- Overdressing is a bad thing
- I must remember to pack sunglasses for Boston
- Starting out too fast will always come back to bite me in the end
- I sound (and possibly look) like an asthmatic walrus the first four miles of any run
- There is a lot of guano on the Greenway
I struggled to hold pace today. Which makes no sense as Barefoot Josh and I ran a faster pace than this for the same distance two weeks ago. But as several of my running friends point out, there's just no telling who's going to show up on any given day for a run. Some days are just better than others.
However, if I needed a reminder that so much of this running business is mental, I had it today.
I pushed myself through the last two miles, taking several walk breaks, then hauling a** the last half mile to make sure I made pace. Once the official run was over, I took a deep breath, relaxed, and went into a slow and easy cool-down run for a mile. The difference was immense. No strain, no heavy breathing, just a nice easy pace. No worries...
I looked at my watch at the end of my cool-down mile and guess what? I ran it at race pace - an 8:23. But since I didn't HAVE to run that fast and wasn't worrying about pace, it all came easy.
MENTAL. I just have to get my head in the game.

When news broke that Joel Silver was producing a Shane Black-penned and directed Lethal Weapon 5 the internet went crazy with the prospect of another Riggs and Murtaugh adventure.
However, the main sticking point appeared to be Mel Gibson. Would the star return to his trademark role of Martin Riggs, considering the amount of time that had passed since the last installment?
These guesses and rumors were recently shot down by original franchise director Richard Donner - who says that Mel turned the flick down.
The Reason?
Donner wasn't asked back to the party.Donner told The LA Times:
"Mel turned it down. I would like to think that Mel turned it down because I wasn't involved. Knowing Mel, I would like to think that. Would that be the kind of thing he does? It sure would be."
Donner went on to say that he pitched an idea to the studio a few years ago - but they weren't interested. Not only that -but Silver tried to screw Donner over by waiting for his contract to lapse. Donner said:
"Joel Silver tried to ace me out of it. He tried to put it together but made sure he didn't do it until my contract was up. You know, it's typical of the man. A guy who wasn't even around at the beginning when we started on the first one. He came in late."
"It's too bad, actually, because Channing Gibson, who wrote the fourth one, and Mike Riva, a designer on three of them, and myself and Derek (Hoffman) had an incredibly strong story for the fifth movie. But we weren't given the opportunity and I think maybe I could have convinced Mel to do it. But Warners chose to go with Joel Silver."
So there you have it - no Dick means no Mel.
God bless him, too. There is very little loyalty in Hollywood these days and it's good to see somebody stand up and say "No, I don't care about $30 million, I want to work with my friend."
With a bit of luck maybe Warners will decide to bring Dick by on board so we can have Martin Riggs stand proud where he belongs; beside other 1980's icons like Rambo, Rocky, John Mc Clane and Indiana Jones.

Regent Street Apple Store is portal to magic twilight fairytale kingdom*
INQ takes an exclusive peek into what we imagine the new store to look like
IN A WORLD that many can only dream of, fireflies dance in the night as children's laughter echoes around the balmy twilight.
It's a little like stepping into Narnia, but Narnia on a midsummer's night with shiny boxes tempting us with their blue glow, punctuating the edible candy flowers that bloom as talking cows call us 'dearie'.
This, dear friends, is the world of the new Apple Store on Regent Street in London. Some say its allure is so great that a gorilla frustrated by not being able to get a pair of hairdryers for his iPhone 7 escaped his enclosure. Such is the siren song of the shop.
They say that if you whisper 'Oh Genius, where art thou?' he will come to you, dressed in cloaks emblazoned with a holy symbol of a half chewed piece of fruit, and lay hands upon your broken, drillhole-bezelled device, fixing it with the power buried deep within the building, which is said to be built on a ley line between this world and the next.
The security guide is a magic pixie who will instantly send shoplifters into a 1,000-year slumber, probably caused by implanting the Michael Fassbender film about Steve Jobs on a perpetual loop in their heads, which would send anyone to sleep.
In this land made of wishes lie meadows of dreams, where if you half close your eyes you can see a world where everything is pure and new and homogenised and changes all the time.
On a patch of sunbeam, you can watch TV in a way you never have before, or gaze in wonder at devices that will enslave you with their retina displays, make you want them, need them, and pay well over the odds for them.
It's a place that is new, yet a place you've always known. An oasis in the middle of one of the busiest cities in the world. A place of wonder. A place of joy.
This, friends, is how we imagine the new Apple Store on Regent Street. However, despite the INQUIRER's continuing growth in readership to almost four times what it was three years ago and our dedicated coverage every time Eddy Cue so much as farts, we still didn't get a f*cking invitation to the press day, so we've had to f*cking make it up.
We hope we got it part right. Thanks a bunch, Apple. It's not 2001 anymore, there are other websites out there and other websites, like ours, have changed a lot.
As our friends at The Register recently, and we think brilliantly, pointed out, there's something a bit rotten about how Apple treats loyal members of the press.
By the way, you will note who wrote this. It wasn't who you'd expect. (#android4eva).
Anyway, the Apple Store, Regent Street, London reopens tomorrow (Saturday) and apparently has some trees in it. Pop along. They'll probably give out free balloons or some sh*t. µ

Bose Noise-Masking Sleepbuds
- Brand: Bose
- Product Code: Bose noise-masking sleepbuds™
- Availability: In Stock
Sleep. Finally.
We've all been there. Those nights when you just can't sleep because annoying sounds—like snoring, traffic and loud neighbours—are keeping you awake. So we decided to do something about it—by creating sleepbuds with built-in noise masking technology. Designed for comfort, these tiny, truly wireless sleepbuds deliver uniquely engineered sounds that mask unwanted noise and lull you to sleep. So you can wake up refreshed and ready to take on the day.
Bose sleepbuds™ are designed to help you sleep. Instead of streaming music, they deliver soothing sounds that cover up unwanted noise and help you fall asleep and stay asleep. Choose from ten pre-loaded soothing sounds, some optimised for masking and others for relaxation.
The tiny earbud nodule and soft StayHear+ Sleep tips (in three sizes, S/M/L) are designed with side-sleepers and people who toss and turn in mind. They fit comfortably and snugly in your ear for a good night's rest.
The rechargeable silver-zinc micro batteries provide up to 16 hours of use on one charge.
Truly wireless sleepbuds™ with no cables in your way, so you can move freely throughout the night.
The included charging case is a convenient place to store and protect your sleepbuds™ when they're not in use. The case also provides one additional full charge when unplugged—perfect for travel.
Using the Bose Sleep app, you can set wake-up alarms that only you can hear, so you won't disturb the person sleeping next to you.
A better solution for unwanted noise
Instead of streaming music, Bose sleepbuds deliver soothing sounds that mask unwanted noises at night. And while we're the first to champion the use of active noise reduction, we've discovered that, when it comes to sleep, noise masking technology is a better solution for the range of sounds that keep you awake—especially voice-based frequencies. So, all you'll hear is a soothing sound that helps you fall asleep and stay asleep.
One app for better rest
Getting to sleep is hard enough. So we've designed the Bose Sleep app to make it easy to set up and customise your sleep settings. Just download the app, select a soothing sound, choose your volume level and determine how long you want to use your sleepbuds during the night. Use the same settings every night, or experiment with different options to find what works for you.
Sleep has never sounded so good
Enjoy the rhythm of rolling waves crashing on a beach. Let yourself be lulled by the gentle rustle of leaves. Feel the crackling comfort of a campfire and the evening serenade of crickets. Choose one of 10 pre-loaded soothing sounds that have been selected and tested to deliver the most effective noise masking and relaxing experience. And because we're always working on giving you the best possible experience, more soothing sounds will be available through future software updates.
Comfy and Cosy
No two ears are alike. So, to fit most ear sizes and shapes, and to accommodate side-sleepers, we took scores of three-dimensional scans of ear geometry and used them to create a tiny earbud nodule that's barely larger than a pea. The sleepbuds™ come with three sizes (S/M/L) of StayHear+ Sleep tips and are designed with a pliable fin that conforms to the upper ridge of your ear. So go ahead and snuggle into your pillow. Curl up on your side. Or stretch out and hog all the covers. Your sleepbuds™ will fit comfortably and snugly in your ear all night long.
Much more than a case
This combination storage and charging case protects and recharges your sleepbuds™ while not in use. It's magnetised, so it keeps your earbuds in place while they charge. And when unplugged, the case also delivers one additional full charge—perfect for when you're on the go.
Sleepbuds:2.38 x 2.69 x 1.42 cm (HxWxD) (2.3 g each)
Case:2.70 x 7.70 x 7.70 cm (HxWxD) (111.41 g)
- Bose noise-masking sleepbuds™
- Charging/storage case
- 3 pairs of StayHear+ Sleep tips (S/M/L)
- Wall charger
- USB cable
- Drawstring travel pouch
Additional details
- Rechargeable silver-zinc batteries

But within a few minutes the oxidation came back. We tried buffing and hand rubbing and the same thing happened. Any thoughts? Can the oxidation become so bad that it cannot be removed? Thanks

Andrew McCann, Jamie Masse and Patrick Thompson blocked a cattle truck from leaving the Frontenac Penitentiary. The blockade was part of a peaceful protest. They were convicted of mischief and received conditional discharges. Their appeal to the summary conviction appeal court was dismissed. They appealed to the Ontario Court of Appeal: 2015 ONCA 451.
On appeal the appellants presented arguments that ultimately were based on the assertion that "the court below erred in finding that their peaceful protest was not protected expression under s. 2(b) of the Charter" [@3]. The court rejected this argument:
The impediment to this argument is that the appellants did not serve a notice of constitutional question as required by s. 109 of the Courts of Justice Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. C.43. A Charter argument was not made at first instance and in fact the appellants, who were self-represented, disclaimed a Charter argument. [@4].
The failure to serve notice was fatal the court held:
Notice of a constitutional question is not simply a technicality. The jurisprudence of this court confirms that it is mandatory: Paluska, Jr. v. Cava (2002), 59 O.R. (3d) 469 (C.A.); R. v. Briggs (2001), 55 O.R. (3d) 417 (C.A.). Section 109(2) of the Courts of Justice Act provides that where notice has not been given, a remedy under s. 24(1) of the Charter shall not be granted. The notice requirement is important for the reasons expressed in Briggs at para. 44 – to put the government on notice that the legislation is being challenged and to give it a full opportunity to support its validity. It also ensures that the court has the benefit of a full factual record.
We agree with the respondent that the appellants' submissions raise the constitutional applicability of s. 430(3) of the Code. This court has no jurisdiction to grant relief in the absence of notice or in the absence of the circumstances discussed in para. 23 of Paluska, none of which exist here. Moreover, the appellants concede that the record before us does not permit us to assess the Charter arguments or to grant a Charter remedy. [@6-7].
McCann is a helpful decision which clearly recognizes that notice is not merely a procedural formality, it is a substantive pre-requisite to the consideration of a constitutional issue. In the absence of notice the court lacks jurisdiction to grant a remedy. This principle has universal application; it is unaffected by the importance or prevalence of the issue at hand. While the issue is well settled law, it seems that remains at issue in some cases: see Nicholson, 2014 OJ No 3860 (where the court overturned a constitutional ruling by the lower court which proceeded in the absence of notice). McCann therefore offers a helpful reminder from the Ontario Court of Appeal.

Cloud computing is Internet based computing whereby services are provided to the end users on demand. In initial days, the computer was local, software and application was local and data was local to a user. As the internet technologies started to grow, the data was transmitted from server to local system, and finally the data ended up locally. Then, the few companies started architecting their site in order to use the capabilities of the browsers like Internet Explorer. The companies started to enhance the technologies and stared to provide the service through the Internet and hence evolved "Cloud computing". Cloud computing in general, is a service such as software, operating system etc., is available to the end user on demand and the user has to pay only for what he is using.
Security is only the major factor which, lot of them argues against cloud computing in Healthcare. A patient record is too personal and it is to be maintained with high security. In cloud based applications, the data will be maintained globally with the provider. As cloud based computing inherits the advantages of internet it also inherits the vulnerability of getting hacked by hackers. Since security is a threat in Cloud computing, the cloud computing providers like salesforce.com, Microsoft, Google, Amazon are providing higher level of security to the user data. The Cloud Security Alliance is a non-profit organization formed to promote the use of best practices for providing security assurance within Cloud Computing.
There is lot of advantages in cloud computing which overcomes its few disadvantages. With correct analysis of the requirement and implementing the hybrid of local and cloud computing applications, healthcare service providers can benefit improved outcomes. The Healthcare service providers can create integrated online environments where one user can create and store personal records, get information, find doctors, make medical appointments, communicate online, manage medications, share information with providers and more.

Handy, fingers-on expertise will set you up for the 21st-century workforce. In fact, many institutions of upper education nowadays supply MOOC's (Huge Open Online Courses), at no cost, to those non-credit score seeking college students from anyplace—in an try to battle again the rising value of education, amongst others.
These include the next: a) more packages to capacitate academics on DRRE and CCE in addition to on the utilization of educational materials; b) professional-energetic lecturers in engaging in various co and extracurricular activities; c) consciousness of education leaders and stakeholders of their roles and delineations earlier than, throughout and after disaster.
Two of its other legislation schools, Charlotte College of Law and Arizona Summit Law School, got a zone" rating by the Division of Education, which suggests the schools were close to not meeting gainful employment requirements, and should move the gainful employment customary in one of the subsequent 4 years to remain in good standing.
In this section, to be listed and discussed are the top universities/schools in the world after which evaluate them with the rating of that of African education. Within the spring of 2016, the Division of Education efficiently accomplished its second year of testing using the new Smarter Balanced assessments.

In the shower this morning, I found myself thinking about the same three women I am always intrigued by. These three women being none other than, Marilyn Monroe, Mae West and Elizabeth Taylor. Three women, that weren't afraid to be real, act real, and talk real. They were loved my many, chastised by some, judged for choices, labeled by mistakes and still all lived a life of great poise, intelligence and love.
The scandals around these women, their marriages, the famous birthday song to the president and high sex appeal made them extremely intriguing to me. Any woman, who does as she wants, who follows her heart, who isn't afraid to say what she feels and not always cross her T's or dots her I's, or this case, maybe not always crossed their legs, is my type of woman. They stood up for who and what they believed in, regardless of Hollywood's approval, or society's stuffy standards. They all literally broke the mold, and led the way for someone like me.
Browsing, the Biography isle at Barnes and Noble you just can't miss any book with the classically beautiful picture of Marilyn, or Elizabeth. I had just finished Jesse James' new tell all book, and I was thirsting for something new and inviting. His book was pleasantly surprising, along with my favorite ladies, I tip my hat to anyone, Man or Woman that can say in a nut shell – I failed, I need help, I hurt someone, I am not perfect- and be okay with it internally and publicly. Because I have done that all, and it takes a strong person to admit it. Looking, through the picture book of Marilyn and reading the quotes here and there, I realized how much I really needed to write my book. I have always wanted to tell my story, to be unafraid, and finally get it all out.
I have always been incapable of bullshit, and when I say that I don't mean my own, just others. My friends describe me as blunt, with mild use of a filter. Truth is, I think and believe the way I want, it is swayable by others, I may be enlightened or made privy to something I previously wasn't aware of, but my main core of thinking is unshakable.
What makes my life an interest to others, well first off I'm 32 years old, I've been married more times than many, okay not Elizabeth Taylor or Zsa Zsa, but by the time they were my age, I have beat them. I have lost a child, not by death, but by deceit. I've broken laws, I been cheated on, been an investigator, been abused, almost killed, I've been in love and then realized it wasn't love at all, I lived without a mother and refused to let it affect my life, I've lost a father who lost himself long before that.

in a very 1994 job interview with Yoshinori Nishi, Hélio Gracie explained, that he didn´t even know the word of judo alone, right until the sport arrived in the 1950s to Brazil, since he heard that Mitsuyo Maeda identified as his design and style "jiu-jitsu".
Jujutsu expresses the philosophy of yielding to an opponent's drive in lieu of wanting to oppose drive with force.

How Potentially Problematic is the New PUPPET MASTER?
"Satire is meant to ridicule power. If you are laughing at people who are hurting, it is not satire, it is bullying." - Terry Pratchett
If you've been under a rock this week, or simply couldn't pick Blade from Tunneler in a pint sized police lineup, you've more than likely heard about the world premiere of Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich that took place at The Overlook Film Festival this past weekend. From S. Craig Zahler, writer of Bone Tomahawk and Brawl in Cell Block 99, with a cast of recognizable faces from a company that has deep ties with the revival of FANGORIA, Littlest Reich is set up to be a sure-fire win.
That is until first word began leaking out post-screening. We've heard it's gory, bonkers, and hosts a body count that put all of the other installments to shame. But what has put a thorn in the side of many is the revelation that, yes, the Puppets this time are nazis. I am by no means a source on these films (I'll always defer to our resident Puppet Scholar Nat Brehmer), but from what I gather this new film co-opts (sorry, excuse me "reimagines") Toulon's tragic story, flips it on its ear, and rather than being about fighting nazis our puppet anti-heroes are actually nazis. And goddamnit Nazi's can kill whoever they want!
Or at least that's what early reviews have been leaning on. So when word spread that the body count is mostly made up of Jews and homosexuals, reviewers from Birth.Movies.Death and Bloody Disgusting waved that criticism away as glibly as "Oh, well, who do you expect Nazi puppets to kill?"
Sure, but when everyone can't join in the frivolity because those that they identify with are the only ones being slaughtered, unapologetically as one reviewer described, as the Puppets commit "hate crimes" we have a problem.
Four years ago this joke may have been funny, especially in a socio-political society where the thought of Nazi's rising up to cause violence and pain again was a distant one. Laughable. Who the fuck could side with NAZI's nowadays?
This isn't a matter of "PC Culture" or "Snowflakes" or any of the other number of alt-right buzzwords that have been sadly adopted by X'ers and Boomers as a way to push back on the progressive millenial idea that, OH I DON'T KNOW, maybe we should just treat people the way that we would want to be treated? With respect, dignity, compassion, and mutual joviality. A certain subsect of Cis-het White males will look at my words and, based on the early leaks and reviews, say "Why can't you just take a joke?" My only response, "After centuries of jokes, why is this still funny to you?"
Only a small few have seen the film, so who the fuck are we to know, right? But we hope we're wrong. We hope we see the point in the problematic tenor of Zahler's writing as we have in his masterpiece of pure cinema Brawl in Cell Block 99. We don't think he's a bad guy, just loves to play within the grimy spaces. But if you're telling me that our community is rallying behind a film that relishes in the murders of historically oppressed people and all you can drum up is "Well they're nazis so of course they kill Jews and homosexuals." then you clearly don't know people are still burning swastikas in this country.
Or if you do know, you clearly don't care.

Six months after Carter Murray took over Draftfcb as global CEO, the agency has simplified its brand and returned to its roots as FCB (Foote, Cone & Belding).
The move comes seven years after Draft and FCB merged to form DraftFCB.
"It's time to simplify our brand name as well to reflect our focused identity and direction," Murray said, adding that the firm is now equipped with a "seamless offering".
Howard Draft's role as executive chairman and key advisor to Murray will remain unchanged.
The new identity will see an important local element market-by-market with names of each city added on the new brand FCB, using a diagonal line through the B and the first letter of the local moniker.
But selective markets will see a slight difference with a new name added with the acquired company. Its London office, for instance, will be re-named FCB Inferno; if any specific expertise involved, the agency will take on that name of the specific field as with FCB Health in this case.
In rare cases such as New York, the added name will be a highly respected creative leader used for further enhancement on the office's reputation. For example, its New York office is being renamed FCB Garfinkel.
The rebranding comes with a new logo design which loosely depicts the colors of country flags from around the world. It is designed by Luis Silva Dias, chief creative officer of FCB International.
"All of the capabilities that made Draft such an industry leader remain essential to the future of FCB, including CRM, analytics, retail and activation. We will continue to invest in and deliver on all of these while ensuring a strong overall creative product," added Murray.

And more that just the poster, we have a pair of teaser trailers uploaded to YouTube, one for North Am auds:
And a Japanese version with some interesting extra footage at the end:
The teasers don't really hint at much of a story - they are just teasers, after all, but they definitely have me interested. When STID comes out in May it will have been four long years since they relaunched the franchise with 2009's Star Trek. See you opening weekend.

Apple Chips {recipe}
Apple Chips
These apple chips are super easy to make and so healthy! Which makes it an even better choice. I really can't keep these apple chips in the house long enough. As soon as they are out of the oven and cool enough to eat, my kiddos gobble them up! Even my husband adores apple chips! These apple chips work best with a sweeter apple. My kids love the Gala apple chips best and I would have to agree with them.
3 Gala Apples OR any sweet apples (Fuji, Red Delicious or Empire)
1 TBSP Cinnamon
2 tsp super fine sugar
- Preheat the oven to 200 F
- Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper
- Slice the Gala apples very thin(use a mandolin if you have one)
- Mix the sugar and cinnamon together
- Place the sliced apples and the mixture in a bowl and toss
- Place the apple slices on the prepared baking sheets
- Bake for approximately 2 hours, turning the slices once halfway through
- HINT: If your slices are thinner, they may be ready in less time, and if they are thicker, they may need a bit more time
- Cool and ENJOY!

The jazz eminence Charles Lloyd has been many things since his rocketlike emergence in the 1960s: a breakout talent, a phenomenon, a recluse, a searcher, a rumor. On April 20 Mr. Lloyd, a tenor saxophonist and flutist, will be inducted as a National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master, the most prestigious honor for living jazz musicians. Still there persists something of the outsider about him, not least in his own mind.
"In some ways I feel that I've been misunderstood or overlooked," he said last month, as morning light filled his glass-walled room at the Standard Hotel on the High Line. "And yet how could you say that, when you seem to have had some success? That's all relative. One man's roof is another man's floor."
Hours earlier Mr. Lloyd had been onstage at the Village Vanguard, exuding a kingly poise. For the club's 80th anniversary, the pianist Jason Moran had arranged a week of special programming — saving the grand finale for the band Mr. Lloyd calls his New Quartet. The performance was a casual astonishment of postbop fire, bluesy crosstalk and lucid incantation for a crowd aware of its privilege. It was Mr. Lloyd's 77th birthday, and his first gig at the Vanguard in more than 40 years.
He has lived on the California coast for almost all of that time, since his dramatic withdrawal from superstardom in search of solitude, sobriety and clarity. His return to active circulation, chronicled over the last 25 years by the ECM label, has unfolded on his own unhurried terms. Especially since the 2007 formation of the New Quartet, with Mr. Moran, the drummer Eric Harland and the bassist Reuben Rogers, he has earned the reputation of an elder with his thoughts trained inward and upward.
He'll make his next New York appearance in the Sackler Wing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, home to the Temple of Dendur. As he did in the same cavernous space two years ago, Mr. Lloyd will lead his quartet alongside musicians rooted in modes of antiquity: in this case, Sokratis Sinopoulos, who plays the politiki lyra, a bowed lute, and Miklos Lukacs, on Hungarian cimbalom, a hammered dulcimer. The concert will be the North American premiere of Mr. Lloyd's "Wild Man Dance Suite," a searching, ecstatic piece that takes up the entirety of his new album, out Tuesday on Blue Note.
The album, "Wild Man Dance," reflects the compulsion to draw connections — between cultural ideals, between stylistic traditions, between modernity and what he calls "the wisdom of the ancients" — that has long been a priority for Mr. Lloyd. He's a pursuer of the universal, and a charismatic embodiment of his own utopian convictions. At the height of his fame, this made him an effective jazz emissary to the psychedelic counterculture. It can still make his music feel lighted with a larger purpose.
"We've played around the world," Mr. Moran said, "and people salivate when they see Charles walk onstage. He's regal. He plays with a lot of romance. But then he also plays with a lot of earthworm-in-the-soil intensity, too. He's always finding these pathways."
Mr. Lloyd, who surfaced at the Village Vanguard in a gray sports jacket, a fedora, a knotted scarf and his round architect glasses, still carries his tall frame with a watchful dignity. Sitting in his hotel room, on a couch overlooking the Hudson River, he spoke in an amiable gush, foraging often in the realm of aphorism, parable and metaphor.
"My music, it breathes," he said. "It's the mysticism of sound. I'm a sound seeker, and I'm enthralled with it, by what it can do to change the molecules and uplift people. They feel something when we play. I can't take authorship for that. I can take that I'm in service."
Mr. Lloyd's fans are familiar with his enlightenment agenda; his recent concerts have included recitations from the Bhagavad Gita. He now lives in a rustic villa designed by his wife and manager, the artist Dorothy Darr, in the mountains east of Santa Barbara. Remote in most respects, it's less than a 10-minute walk from his local Vedanta temple.
"I was a philosopher as a very young kid," he said, recalling long hours spent wandering the orchards of his grandfather's farm in Mississippi. He heard his earliest Delta blues then, played by a farm foreman, a moment he describes like a spark of ignition.
At Manassas High School in Memphis, one of his classmates was the trumpeter Booker Little, with whom he recalls studying Bartok string quartets in the school library. "We were under the influence of Phineas Newborn and his harmonic genius," Mr. Lloyd said, referring to a still-underrated piano virtuoso whom he regarded as a guru.
The tenor saxophonist George Coleman, who was a few years ahead of Mr. Lloyd at Manassas, also happens to be in this year's class of National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Masters. "We all played a lot," Mr. Coleman said. "That was a good thing about Memphis during that time. We weren't making any money, but we had the experience of being involved in jazz almost 24 hours a day."
Another Memphis hallmark was a busy dialogue between jazz and rhythm and blues. Mr. Newborn had played in a trailblazing R&B rhythm section, around the dawn of rock 'n' roll. Mr. Lloyd worked as a teenager with bluesmen like Howlin' Wolf and B. B. King. His distaste for what he often calls "lines of demarcation" can be partly traced to this time.
Partly, too, it dates to Mr. Lloyd's experience of the 1960s, which began with several years as musical director and composer for the Chico Hamilton Quintet, a coolly chamberlike group that also featured the Hungarian guitarist Gabor Szabo. Mr. Lloyd moved into a Greenwich Village loft and fell into bohemian rhythm, associating with painters and poets as well as the likes of Bob Dylan.
His style on tenor suggested an extrapolation of elements: the bark and brio of Sonny Rollins; the phrasing and spiritual inquest of John Coltrane; the weightless, susurrating style of an older giant on the instrument, Lester Young. But he was also working with fundamentals from the Delta, and with the stirrings of the time.
His first great quartet, with the pianist Keith Jarrett, the bassist Cecil McBee and the drummer Jack DeJohnette, released its debut album, "Dream Weaver," on Atlantic in 1966. Later that year, the band made a triumphant appearance at the Monterey Jazz Festival. Released as the album "Forest Flower," it sold more than a million copies.
"That group came together at a time when the socioeconomic and political environment of this country was opening up," Mr. DeJohnette said. "And we had a vibe. We could play grooves or we could play abstract. Nothing was ever done the same way twice."
Mr. Lloyd's quartet became a fixture at the Fillmore Auditorium, sharing the bill with acts like Jefferson Airplane and Janis Joplin. "I always saw him as the lead vocalist in a rock 'n' roll band," said the record producer Don Was, who as president of Blue Note made it a mission to sign Mr. Lloyd. "He seemed to be the first guy from the jazz idiom who, on a sociological level, had some connection to where the Grateful Dead were coming from."
But what endeared Mr. Lloyd to the Fillmore crowd had the inverse effect on some in the jazz establishment. Though DownBeat magazine anointed him "Jazzman of the Year" in 1967, the influential critic Martin Williams sniffed in The New York Times that "with wildly bushy hair, military jacket, and garishly striped bell bottoms, he looks like a kind of show-biz hippie." Like Miles Davis around this time, Mr. Lloyd was charged with crassness; unlike Mr. Davis, he also faced suggestions of charlatanism.
The bigger problem, as Mr. Lloyd remembers it, was that he began to feel like a commodity. "I would also medicate myself," he said. "I was getting off my spiritual moorings." He moved to Big Sur, and spent most of the next decade making music in idiosyncratic bursts — with Beat poets, or members of the Beach Boys.
He was coaxed out of retirement by the French pianist Michel Petrucciani, who had made a pilgrimage to see him in the early 1980s. But Mr. Lloyd didn't resume his career in earnest until after a brush with death, because of a rare intestinal disorder, in 1986.
His sound had become softer and more luminous, though he plays down the idea of a reinvention: "I'm big on tenderness sutras," he said. "Even during the obstreperousness of the '60s, and the so-called yelling and screaming on the horn, I was always a lyricist."
The body of work he amassed on ECM spans a small constellation of ensembles, including the devotional, shape-shifting trio known as Sangam, with Zakir Hussain on tabla and Mr. Harland on drums and piano. Mr. Moran said that while he grew up with "Forest Flower," it was a concert by Sangam a decade ago that drew him to Mr. Lloyd.
The New Quartet has had a similar effect out in the world. The pianist Gerald Clayton, who appears on "Wild Man Dance," recalls being awed by the band several times in concert; his point of entry to Mr. Lloyd's gifts as a bandleader had virtually nothing to do with the 1960s. "The point is to almost be child-minded," Mr. Clayton said, "like you're discovering music for the first time, every time you play. Then it's a really peculiar feeling afterward, different than I get from stretching out with guys my own age."
Mr. Lloyd offered his explanation for that. "They all do something else with their own stuff," he said of the musicians in his fold, chuckling, "but when they come here, there are other deities who are operating." Suddenly he was choked up, tears welling in his eyes. "And every night you have to mean all of that. And it has a vibration that keeps me humble, and wanting another chance to tell the truth."

3 psychological effects of horror movies on children – what parents need to know
Since the first horror film premiered in the late 1890s, parents of young children face a tough challenge: Should I let my child watch scary movies? The effect of horror films on children has been more closely studied in recent years, warning parents to proceed with caution. Here are three of the psychological effects of horror movies parents need to know:
Adverse effects on children can linger into adulthood
While the short-term effects of horror movies often include restless sleep and trouble eating, long-term effects can bloom later in adulthood. A study conducted at the University of Wisconsin in the 1990s found that over 90% of college students surveyed were still experiencing "lingering effects" from a horror film viewed during childhood. The study also found that the younger a child was when they saw scary content, the stronger of an impact the media had on them.
Scary movies can desensitize children to violence
Viewing horror movies can "desensitize" children to real-life aggression and violence. The National Institute of Mental Health has identified some psychological effects on children who consume violent media, including:
- Less conscious of others' pain and suffering
- A heightened sense of fear in any situation
- Increased aggressive behavior as teenagers and into adulthood
Higher risk of anxiety disorders and phobias
Some children find it challenging to distinguish fantasy from reality. Exposure to scary movies can challenge a child's cognitive ability even further, heightening their risk for long-lasting effects including anxiety disorders and phobias.
Deciding what movies your child is allowed to view is ultimately your decision. However, it's important to be aware of the research on possible psychological effects of horror content on young minds. If you are concerned that your child is showing signs of more troubling issues, the Holiner Group provides adolescent and child psychiatric services to the Dallas and Mckinney area.

from Darrel Williamson "I found these while looking inside the Outpost in between China and Germany. It is in the middle building in the Outpost where you can buy souvenirs. You will need to look up near the back wall. There are two "hidden" Mickeys. The first is on the luggage tag: "M. Mouse". The second is on the voyage sticker on the suitcase just right of the luggage tag. The Cast Member wondered what I was doing, and when I informed him, he said there were not any Hidden Mickeys in there. However, I found these, and he seemed very impressed and didn't know of them."

Public Health Institute and California Project LEAN Reiterate Support for Federal Soda Tax Bill
March 26, 2015
Statement from Lynn Silver, MD, MPH, Senior Advisor, Chronic Disease and Obesity Prevention, Public Health Institute
"The Public Health Institute and California Project LEAN (Leaders Encouraging Activity and Nutrition) once again commend the leadership of U.S. Representative Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) for today's reintroduction of the Sweet Act, groundbreaking federal legislation which will create new incentives for manufacturers to reduce the sugar content of sweetened beverages.
"Sugary drinks are linked to obesity, diabetes, and heart disease – costly and often deadly diseases. Diabetes alone costs the nation $245 billion dollars a year, according to the American Diabetes Association. Today's sodas contain roughly 16 teaspoons of sugar per 20 ounce bottle. Rep. DeLauro's bill will place a graduated excise tax on manufacturers and distributors of sugar-sweetened beverages – resulting in roughly a one cent per ounce tax – and create real incentives for manufacturers to put less sugar in soda.
"The Sweet Act works not only to reduce sugar content in beverages, but also promotes innovative solutions to keep people healthy. Rep. DeLauro's bill will direct resources from to the tax to the Prevention and Public Health Fund, the nation's largest source of dedicated prevention funding to reduce chronic disease – particularly in vulnerable communities.
"Local and state soda tax proposals are cropping up across the country and demonstrate growing public support for creative solutions that prioritize health and reduce health care costs – like new statewide efforts to decrease SSB consumption in California. It's time for the United States to take action on the national level.
"The Public Health Institute and California Project LEAN applaud the leadership of Rep. DeLauro and the other courageous politicians who are championing this critical issue. We urge our legislators to add their support to the Sweet Act, and stand for the public's health."
