Reading Time: 5 minutes
Xanax, a prescription drug that is used to treat anxiety and panic disorders, is the brand name for the drug alprazolam. According to the NLM, "Alprazolam is in a class of medications called benzodiazepines. It works by decreasing abnormal excitement in the brain." The drug can be extremely beneficial to those who need it and take it in the doses recommended by their doctor. However, abusing Xanax is often done by those who want to experience the side effect of euphoria caused by high doses of the drug. Often, these individuals crush the pills and snort them in order to do so.
How Common is Snorting Xanax?
As stated by a study from the NCBI, "Snorting benzodiazepines appears to be more common than is currently appreciated." People who abuse benzodiazepines in this way often become extremely drowsy and will attempt to fight the urge to go to sleep. This can be one of the causes of the euphoria they feel.
"Benzodiazepines are among the most commonly prescribed depressant medications in the United States today" which makes them easily and widely available to those who might choose to abuse them (CESAR). Many individuals who do so are often adolescents or young adults, and these are the users more likely to crush the tablets in order to bring about their euphoric effects more quickly. According to the DEA, "Alprazolam and diazepam are the two most frequently encountered benzodiazepines on the illicit market." Other individuals who use these drugs illicitly often are frequent cocaine and heroin abusers looking for a cheaper high when they cannot obtain their drug of choice.
Dangers of Snorting Xanax
Abusing drugs for their euphoric effects is dangerous, but it is even more so when the individual who abuses them tampers with the drug's method of use. For example, the high from snorting Xanax comes on much faster than if the individual were to take the drug orally. This also means that the effects will diminish much more quickly, leaving the user wanting more. Someone who snorts Xanax is often more likely to abuse the drug continuously in order to prolong their high, an action of many individuals who abuse cocaine. This is called binge abuse, and it can lead to addiction much more quickly than abusing a drug orally.
The potency of the drug will also increase, giving a person a stronger high than if they just took it orally. Xanax was not meant to be crushed and snorted, thus its effects are intensified and made more dangerous by this action. Individuals who do snort Xanax are putting themselves in much more danger than those who take it as directed.
Xanax abusers also experience drowsiness and fatigue along with vision problems and even vertigo. These individuals are more likely to be involved in an accident as a result of their drug abuse and its effects.
According to CESAR, "Some benzodiazepines are eliminated from the body slowly. Thus, [abusing] multiple doses over long periods of time can lead to significant accumulation of fatty tissues."
This is called over-sedation and can lead to many dangerous effects such as:
- Impaired thinking and judgement
- Memory problems
- Confusion
- Disorientation
- Slurred speech
- Weakness of the muscles
- Coordination problems
A person could also overdose on Xanax after snorting too much which could lead to loss of consciousness and coma. According to the NIDA, abusing Xanax can cause intense respiratory depression. Many individuals who abuse benzodiazepines also do so with alcohol. This "further slows heart rate and breathing, which can lead to death."
Xanax Addiction
It is extremely likely that someone who snorts Xanax often will become addicted to the drug. An individual who experiences this issue will not be able to stop taking Xanax, even if they realize the dangers it is causing in their life. In addition, the individual will also experience tolerance to the drug's effects, causing them to take higher doses each time they abuse it in order to feel the same effects they once did.
Users become dependent on Xanax when taking it as prescribed over a long period of time, and those who snort the drug will also.
This is one of the reasons why someone addicted to Xanax should not merely stop taking it, as they will likely experience withdrawal symptoms such as:
- Seizures
- Tremors
- Blurred vision
- Headache
- Insomnia
- Weight loss
- Pain in the hands and feet
- Nausea and vomiting
- Depersonalization
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Hypersensitivity
According to the Semel Institute of UCLA, "In rare cases, withdrawal from the drug can also result in psychosis and convulsions." It is likely to cause suicidal thoughts, especially in younger individuals. Those who do become addicted to and dependent on Xanax after snorting the drug for a prolonged amount of time will need to attend formal treatment in order to safely go through detox and learn how to avoid the possibility of further drug abuse.
Long-term Health Effects of Snorting Xanax
Columbia University states that "respiratory problems, such as destruction of the nasal and sinus cavities and lung tissue" can result from inhaling prescription stimulants. Unfortunately, the same issue can occur when someone snorts Xanax and other prescription sedatives. The continuous introduction of foreign objects into the nasal cavity can have effects on this part of the body no matter what drug the individual is snorting.
Other health effects include:
- Mood disturbances
- Some individuals develop signs of mood disorders such as depression or bipolar disorder after abusing drugs like Xanax in the long term.
- Erratic behavior
- High doses of benzodiazepines can cause hostile behavior or cause users to act irrationally. This is very likely to occur among individuals who snort Xanax because they will be more likely to abuse continuous doses of the drug.
- Gastrointestinal problems
- Nausea, vomiting, and constipation are all common with Xanax abuse.
- Vision problems
- Some individuals experience blurry or altered vision when abusing Xanax.
Individuals who snort Xanax are extremely likely to become addicted to the drug while also experiencing extreme health issues and dangerous side effects. No one should snort Xanax as the drug is meant to be taken orally and by prescription only.

Legacy of Rot
House Canneth
The Creation House of Canneth is a now-defunct Craftsman Guild and Alchemist Conclave seated in the Northeastern region of Asalilia. The House was founded by <founders>, and are responsible for, at least partially, creating the race known as Warforged, including the player character called Canneth. It was dismantled and destroyed ten years ago by forces led by the avatars of Pelor and Ilmater on the grounds that the House's Artificers were enslaving the souls of long-dead warriors in an attempt to raise an army bent on conquest, on a day now held in celebration as the "Warforged Liberation Day".
In reality, most of the Warforged awakened by the House were re-educated for the age, and then given the choice of whether or not to continue supporting the House. It is unknown how many Canneth-Forged Warforged and House members still exist to this day, or how many of the House's Soul Forge's were destroyed or re-purposed. There are stories told by scavengers and looters, however, of vaults and strongholds hidden throughout Preiniell, with vast stores of armament and artifacts, including dormant shells of Warforged not yet infused.

Brazilian Sugarcane Industry Launches Education Campaign on Fuel's Benefits
Apr 9, 2010 - UNICA
WASHINGTON, DC - As Earth Day approaches and Americans seek out environmentally friendly energy sources, the Brazilian Sugarcane Industry Association (UNICA) today launched an expansive national awareness campaign to explain sugarcane ethanol's benefits.UNICA's education campaign will include a new website, SweeterAlternative.com, online, print and radio advertising, new research and a high-profile partnership with the Indy Racing League.
"Unfortunately, Americans cannot fully benefit from this clean, less expensive alternative while Congress continues to maintain trade barriers against imported ethanol," Velasco continued. The U.S. government currently imposes a $0.54-per-gallon tariff on ethanol from most foreign countries, making sugarcane ethanol practically unavailable in the United States. By contrast, imported oil enters America duty free. The 54-cent import tax on ethanol will expire at the end of this year.
Last week, Brazil took an important first step to build an open and global biofuels marketplace by eliminating its tariff on imported ethanol through the end of 2011. UNICA is asking the Brazilian government to make the tariff elimination permanent if Congress will do the same and drop the U.S. tax on imported ethanol.
"Consumers win when businesses have to compete in an open market, because competition produces higher quality products at lower costs. The same principle holds true for the renewable fuels market where competition will create a race to the future and generate better alternatives for consumers. Americans will benefit from having the sweeter alternative - sugarcane ethanol - available as an option at the pump," Velasco concluded.

LA duo Wildcat! Wildcat! have teamed up with rapper Wynne for their latest release which marks a surprise shift in tone from Jesse Carmichael and Jesse Taylor's previous material.
Relentless still taps in to the duo's earlier synthgaze sound by showering Taylor's cascading vocals over Carmichael's starry backdrop of electronics and percussion, but it's also of a more decadent lyrical flavour and opens with a looping piano melody that acts like a sonic timebomb counting down to Wynne's fast-lipped, tempo-altering rap which cuts in mid-way through proceedings and is backed by an array of atmospheric backing calls. From that point, Relentless hits it hard, the whirring beats and darkening euphoria jarring and amplifying until it all suddenly evaporates in to a spectacularly haunting outro.
Check it out for yourself below.

Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich points out that Trump says he has no problem with a company moving jobs from one US state to another. So an employee with a union job in Indiana could be told the plant is moving to a union busting state like Mississippi and if he wants to keep his job, he is going to have to move too and work for lower pay. Reich also pointed out that United Technologies has lots of profits stashed overseas and they are counting on Trump and the Republicans to give them tax breaks if they bring some of that money back to the US, something I call "tax amnesty".
- Tom Blake said...
Now the word is that it is only 800 jobs, and the other jobs were never expected to move. When a local union president pointed this out via Twitter, Trump launched Twitter attacks on him which were followed up by threatening and harassing calls from Trump supporters.

My experiences with UPS have been bad every time. Once I ordered flowers that the vendor shipped via UPS and UPS held the flowers in their warehouse for a week!
Another time, I purchased an item to be delivered to my office. For some reason the Suite number was not added to the shipping label. The vendor called back requesting UPS add the suite number within the window of time accepted. Rather than accepting the change they have refused to deliver the package.
Now I have to drive 20 minutes out of the way to get the package from the UPS shipping facility.
The vendor was apologetic and said that they did everything correctly, but someone at UPS did not make the changes per their own policy! I am at the point where I have considered not shopping from vendors that use UPS!

Book Reviews
If you're interested in submitting a book review, please fill in our online form.
Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan
This was a really fun book. Not exactly deep, but if you're looking for pure entertainment about the super-fabulously-eccentric rich, this is a good pick. Pure candy!
The Power by Naomi Alderman
I really wanted to love this book. It got great reviews on Goodreads, which I usually find to be a reliable source. In this book, teenage girls everywhere suddenly discover that their bodies can produce a deadly electrical charge. At first there are just a few who have this power. Then suddenly all girls and eventually all woman can tap into this power – which of course, changes the whole power dynamic of men and woman the world over. I really liked the fascinating premise of the book. Unfortunately, it just didn't hold my interest after the first half of the story. Give it a try, though. I'd love to hear other people's perspectives on this book. Submit your book review so I can hear what you think about The Power. I gave it 3 stars.
Still Me by Jojo Moyes
The third installment in the life of Louisa Clark, Still Me delivers another engaging look at Louisa's quirky and lovable unique self. Now in New York, Louisa finds herself in a new country with a new, difficult employer. This book doesn't disappoint, even after the high expectations I had after reading Me Before You. Definitely recommended!
The Boy in the Snow by M.J. McGrath
The two-week 1,150-mile Iditarod dog sled race from near Wasilla to Nome, Alaska, forms the backdrop for McGrath's outstanding second mystery featuring half-Caucasian, half-Inuit Edie Kiglatuk (after 2011's White Heat). A native of Ellesmere Island, Edie comes to Alaska to help her ex-husband, Sammy Inukpuk, who's trying to regain his self-respect by racing. In the forest outside Wasilla, Edie encounters a mysterious bear that leads her to the frozen body of a baby boy lying in the saddle of a snowmobile. Edie, a homesick, guilt-ridden "outsider in her own world," seeks to untangle the disturbing truth behind the infant's death, aided by her policeman friend, Derek Palliser, who's also assisting Sammy in the race. McGrath has a firm grasp on a little known culture, its values and language, and excels at bringing to life such characters as conniving Anchorage mayor Chuck Hillingberg and his power-hungry wife, Marsha. This affecting novel should melt even the most frozen human hearts. – Quote for Publishers Weekly review
City of Women by David R. Gillham
Excellent story, recommend it highly. The main protagonist was annoyingly bland for a large portion of the book, and a reluctant 'supporter' of the resistance. However, I came to think this was intentional, reflecting a realistic struggle for a person – a very ordinary, typical person – who would rather just do nothing and try to survive. A brilliant depiction of how extraordinary circumstances force morality, in one direction or another. Several complex characters, making decisions and acting under the most horrific circumstances. All about 'What would you do?'
Everyone Brave is Forgiven by Chris Cleave
This novel is set in Britain at the time of WWII, from the declaration of war to the end. The narrator is the typical cute but plucky daughter of a high-ranking cabinet official, supporting characters are her best pal and 2 young men who are also close friends. Begins with young people struggling with 'doing the right thing' when the country goes to war. And then reality hits. This book captured me from page 1. Great character development, evocative on setting. I recommend other titles by this author as well.
No Easy Answers by Deanna Lueder.
Written with a generous heart, these are closely linked short stories. Main character Lexie walks us through her long days as a child protection social worker. She deals with tragic cases involving child abuse and neglect with great sensitivity and no judgement. Lueder writes with great talent and honesty evoking compassion and empathy in the reader. I had tears in my eyes but came away at the end having the greatest respect for social workers and the knowledge that it is rewarding work.
Road Ends by Mary Lawson
Good but not great book. The author certainly captures the snowy environment of a small Ontario town and keeps the story moving as we move from character to character. I liked the way plot points developed through each point of view.
Ulysses by James Joyce
I had to check excellent, because how could I not with a work that is considered the greatest work of modernist literature. But Ulysses is a slog. Joyce created several distinct sections of the story of a single day in Dublin….June 16, 1904. Fantastic word pictures throughout, and some observations that are so unique, and a web of characters that he manages to keep aloft… but it is not an easy read. Take your time to appreciate the literary genius of the man who veers into drama in one very long section, punctuationless stream of lascivious consciousness in Molly's soliloquy, and a catholic mass-type call and response section that contains superlative language and a lot of humour, too.
A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara
Possibly one of the greatest books I have ever experienced. The story-line centers around the unspeakable childhood trauma of one of the main characters and how everyone around him has adjusted their lives to deal with it. I could not put this book down. Although many parts are not for the faint of heart, it is a book that will leave an impression on you long after the last page has been read. Beautifully written and achingly honest.
The Garden of Evening Mists by Tan Twan Eng
A wonderful read! It includes much of the 20th century history of Penang and detailed information on the complexity of Japanese gardening. It is an illusive mystery and is intriguing and informative.
Man Seeks God by Eric Weiner
Only book I have EVER laughed out loud! Highly intelligent, witty,hilarious, thought provoking, best-of-its-kind-ever book. Educational and every page highly entertaining.
Sarong Party Girls by Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan
This is about a Singaporean woman named Jazzy and her desperate quest to find a white husband. I picked up this book because I thought it looked like fun. But the quote on the front also intrigued me. Ruth Ozeki, author of A Tale for the Time Being, said that the author of this book was "saying something profound and insightful about the place of women in our globalized, capitalized, interconnected world." When I started reading it, I found it funny and entertaining, yes. But I kept waiting for the depth and insight Ozeki seemed to have gotten out of this book…. I kept waiting for…. more. There must be more to it! This book has great reviews from Kirkus , National Book Award winners, and celebrated authors such as Ozeki and Paul Theroux. I was just expecting more from it. I was definitely left wanting.
Before the Fall by Noah Hawley
Before The Fall is like a cross between the Goldfinch and Gone Girl. It's tempting to call this a a literary thriller but it's so much more. The perfect summer read.
Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi
Amazing book! What a read! It starts in 18th century Ghana with 2 half sisters and follows the lives of their children and their children's children up to present day. Each generation struggles, living in Africa and America – wars, slavery, the civil rights movement. You can see how the lives of each generation effected the next. Well written and constantly engaging the reader. I loved this book!
Red Notice by Bill Browder
A true story that was so compelling, I could not put it down.
Bill Browder was a real maverick, and fighting against Putin, well, he's amazing!
The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper by Phaedra Patrick.
Arthur Pepper, age 69, just lost his wife. Going through her things, he finds bracelet of hers that leads to clues about her former life before they met and fell in love. Arthur travels the world to discover more about his much-loved and missed wife. It's a charming book about love, moving on and finding adventure and meaning after losing a love. He's an endearing character. Recommended.

Judges 10:1-18
A brief summary was given of two Israel leaders after the villainous Abimelech. We had Tola who ruled for twenty three years, and Jair who ruled for twenty two years. Not much story were however told of them.
Israel however sinned again against God by worshipping other gods. This time around, he sold them unto the hands of the Philistines who oppressed them for eighteen years. The distress led Israel back to God, and they cried in repentance again.
This time, God reminded them of all the many times he had delivered them, while they kept turning against Him. He told them to run to their gods and see if they will deliver them. Israel surrendered to God, and told him to do with them as he pleased. They put away they gods and served the Lord. The Lord's soul was grieved for the misery of Israel, He is indeed a merciful God.
What happened next after this experience? Israel prepared to go to war, but they need a leader. Who shall arise first to war against the Ammonites? We continue tomorrow.
Some verses to remember
Vs :16 And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served the LORD: and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.

Prayer Targets: Revival Prayer; First Liberty; Perkins; Hogan; Judges; Elections; Title X
May 16, 2018
Pray without ceasing. (1 Thessalonians 5:17)
Dear Praying Friends,
The works of E.M. Bounds (1835-1913) are essential reading for true prayer warriors. Bounds wrote for many audiences but especially fellow pastors, for whom he was deeply burdened. He saw the pastors' secret prayers and praying example as the key to praying churches. From his Purpose in Prayer:
All revivals are dependent upon God, but... what is the duty we, as co-workers with God, must undertake? First and most important - we must give ourselves to prayer. "Revivals," Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman reminds us, "are born in prayer. When Wesley prayed England was revived; when Knox prayed, Scotland was refreshed; when the Sunday School teachers of Tannybrook prayed, 11,000 young people were added to the Church in a year. Whole nights of prayer have always been succeeded by whole days of soul-winning."
The God of revivals is willing to hear and to answer the faithful, believing prayers of His people today. Wherever God's conditions are met there the revival is sure to fall. Professor Thos. Nicholson, of Cornell College, told this story. "There had not been a revival on his circuit in years, and things were hopeful. During more than four weeks the pastor had preached faithfully, visited from house to house, in stores, shops, and out-of-the-way places, and had done everything he could. On the fifth Monday night many of the men could be found in the lodges, but only a few at the church.
"The pastor went home, cast down, but not in despair. Though the meetings had been the subject of hours of earnest prayer, locking the door, he took Bible and hymn book and began to inquire more diligently of the Lord. Only God knows the anxiety and faithful, prayerful study of that night. Near dawn great peace and a full assurance came that God would surely bless his plan and the chosen text was of the Lord. The pastor slept about two hours, but all day his assurance increased.
"Toward night a pouring rain set in... we reached home, wet, supper-less, a little late, only to find no fire in the church, no lights, and no signs of a service. The janitor presumed the rain would prevent it. We changed the order, rang the bell, and prepared for war. Just three young men were the congregation, but in 'full assurance' the pastor delivered the message he had prayed out the preceding night, as earnestly and fully as if the house had been crowded. Then he made a personal appeal to each young man in turn. Two yielded, and testified to faith before the meeting closed.
"The tired pastor enjoyed sweet sleep. Rising a little later than usual, he learned that one of the young men was going from store to store throughout the town telling of his wonderful deliverance, and exhorting the people to salvation. Night after night conversions occurred. Two weeks later, 144 people testified to saving faith in a 45-minute period. All three churches in that circuit saw revival, family after family joined the church and the membership more than tripled [several persons saved went on to become ministers]. Probably none of the members ever knew of the pastor's night of prayer, but he is persuaded that God does for those who thus pray what He does not for those who do not pray – that "more things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of."
All true revivals are born in prayer. When God's people become so concerned about the state of the faith that they lie on their faces day and night in earnest supplication, the blessing will surely come. It is the same all down the ages. Every revival of which we have any record was bathed in prayer.
Richard Baxter, it is said, "stained his study walls with praying breath; and becoming thus anointed with the unction of the Holy Ghost he sent a river of living water over Kidderminster." Whitfield prayed, "O Lord, give me souls or take my soul." After much closet pleading, "he once went to the Devil's fair and took more than a thousand souls out of the paw of the lion in a single day."
Are we concerned about the coldness of the Church? Do we grieve over the lack of conversions? Does our soul go out to God in midnight cries for the outpouring of His Spirit? If not, blame lies at our door. If we do our part, God will do His. Around us is a world lost in sin, above us is a God willing and able to save; it is ours to build the bridge that links heaven and earth, and prayer is the mighty instrument that does it. The old cry comes to us with insistent voice, "Pray, brethren, pray." (E. M. Bounds, Purpose in Prayer, Ch. 12)
America is Championing Religious Liberty Again – President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, the people they have appointed to serve in the Executive Branch, and a variety of Advisory Committees are producing radical and welcome changes across the board in America. But the administration's attention to religious liberty at home and abroad can be characterized as nothing less than extraordinary. Less than three months from the time he took office, on May 4, 2017, the National Day of Prayer, the president signed his first religious liberty executive order (read "One Year Later: The Impact of President Trump's Executive Order Protecting Religious Liberty"). Last week, on his second National Day of Prayer, May 3, 2018, President Trump issued yet another religious liberty executive order, this time repealing some Obama orders that were not very helpful to religious liberty and replacing them with true religious liberty measures. He changed the name and focus of President Obama's "White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives" to "White House Faith and Opportunity Initiative" (read Executive Order on the Establishment of a White House Faith and Opportunity Initiative). Under President Obama, the related President's Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships appointed LGBT activists to serve as "faith-based" advisors.
One of the purposes of the offices in the administration's executive agencies and departments will be to make sure that faith-based organizations are able to compete for federal funds with non-faith based agencies without discrimination and in keeping with their faith tenets and standards. It also provides for constant feedback from the faith community directly to the White House and each of the executive agencies, and much more.
The president recently appointed and the Senate confirmed Governor Sam Brownback to serve as Ambassador at Large for International Religious Freedom at the State Department, reporting directly to the Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and strengthening his office to function as it was intended prior to its degeneration under the Obama administration. The president's actions and appointments have revived America as the foremost advocate for religious freedom in the world again. Advocates agree that the absence of U.S. influence in promoting religious liberty led to significant deterioration of religious freedom abroad. Under President Obama, religious liberty was not a priority and the State Department actually advocated against religious liberty, pushing instead LGBT rights, abortion rights, and liberal political correctness through its State Department policies and through our embassies – actually insulting Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Our embassies actually celebrated "Gay Pride Month" in June, and flew the rainbow flag to display their support.
Another sign that religious liberty is in the front seat in American foreign policy again was the announcement yesterday that Family Research Council President Tony Perkins has been appointed to the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) (more good appointments are coming). The selection of Tony Perkins as its newest member for a two-year term promises a more active and robust USCIRF in the days ahead. The USCIRF was created by the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998. Commissioners are appointed by the president and the leaders of both political parties in both Houses. USCIRF's principal responsibilities are to review the facts and circumstances of violations of religious freedom internationally and to make policy recommendations to the president, the Secretary of State, and the Congress. Tony will continue as President of FRC and needs your prayers now more than ever with this additional, vital role.
- God, please help the president and Congress keep religious liberty, our first liberty, a top priority in U.S. domestic and international policy. With true religious liberty, people will be free to seek you, openly proclaim you, and testify openly to your love and great power. Men, women, boys, and girls will be able to convert from other faiths or no faith to genuine faith – without coercion or restraint by government or from others. May America be a force for religious liberty around the world more than any time yet in American history. Lord, we intercede for Tony Perkins that you will enable him to adjudicate cases and guide our leaders to rule with righteousness and justice, keenly understanding the importance of religious freedom and liberty of conscience. May he do it well, without diminishing the effectiveness of his outstanding leadership of FRC. (Gen 2:16; 41:32-46; Lev 25:10; Ezr 2:68; Ps 54:6; Is 61:1; Dan 5:11-14; Mt 10:8; Rom 1:16; Gal 5:1; 1 Tim 1:5; Rev 21:6)
Finally, For Your Prayer List: (1) Yesterday, Maryland Governor Larry Hogan signed into law Senate Bill 1028 (Youth Mental Health Protection Act), which essentially abandons parents and children to their own resources by prohibiting licensed counselors, therapists, and other health care professionals from providing guidance to minors regarding same-sex attractions or gender confusion except to support their pro-homosexual or pro-transgender feelings. (2) While liberals are fighting tooth-and-nail against the confirmation of Trump federal judicial appointees, the president is breaking records in the number and speed of his successful judicial confirmations by the U.S. Senate, especially appeals court judges – those from which future U.S. Supreme Court Judges will likely to be chosen. All have been purportedly judicial conservatives who will interpret the Constitution as intended by the Founders and not according to the interpretation of liberal activists of the 21st century who write law from the bench. (3) The judiciary shift, which may be the president's greatest legacy, could be upended unless Americans elect more conservatives to the U.S. Senate in November. (4) President Trump's HHS is expected to issue regulations soon like those introduced but never fully implemented by the Reagan adminis tration. Title X family planning funds recipients would be required to be wholly separate, physically and financially, from any abortion services. This would prevent most Planned Parenthood locations from receiving Title X funds. As in Reagan's day, abortion advocates are preparing to fight.
As always, thank you for praying!

Thankfully Nathan's eye is healing nicely and he is able to open it almost 95%. He is in good spirits and coping with it as well as a 4 year old can. We are seeing a lot of change in his personality and thing that the move and accident are all taking a toll on him. I hope that he is able to settle down when we are on the road.
Our wonderful friends Denise, Brendon and James bought dinner over for us tonight and we have polished of a lovely bottle of red.
We managed to scam dinner on Wednesday night too. An awesome roast with Chris, Pete and Lachie. Chris even gave us a doggy bag of baby food for the Princess.
What are we doing leaving all these wonderful friends????????
Tomorrow is our "send off" which Neil insisted on having. I would have been more than happy to slip away quietly and can just see myself spending most of tomorrow arvo in tears. I have managed to find a few photos and start a photo wall which I am hoping friends will be adding to tomorrow.
Neil ended up having to get a specially engineered tow hitch for the van as the Patrol is so high. The blokes said they had never engineered something so extreme for towing a van!! Then we hook the van up and realise that the back of the car is a fair bit lower than the front due to the weight!! Neil had to go and get some new airbag suspension thingies which he assures me were essential, along with the other $30,000 worth of "stuff".
We still haven't packed the van. I think we are too damn scared that it isn't all going to fit and we have no idea what to do with it if it doesn't... I am thinking that the local dump master is going to get a work out!!
My next post will actually see us on the road, wish us luck. xoxo

From my house Trader Joe's isn't a convenient trip to the grocery store, but it's well worth the dollars in gas to buy their Harvest Grain Pasta. It's a fun combination of Israeli style couscous, orzo, baby garbanzo beans and red quinoa.
Don't think this is another recipe for a company that sent me products. Trader Joe's didn't send me their pasta for this easy pasta salad recipe, I discovered this delightful combination of grains all by myself. Every time I shop at that store I find something new to try.
To bolster my pasta recipe with colorful nutrition, I added a bowl full of finely chopped red onion, zucchini and tomatoes, then tossed it with a simple dressing.
Healthy cooking tip . . .
If you'd like to shave a few calories from this dish, leave the pepitas and Parmesan in bowls on the side and let folks help themselves. This salad has enough crunch and flavor to be satisfying served without them.
Happy, healthy cooking!
Serves 10 – 3/4 cup servings
- 16 ounces Trader Joe's Harvest Grain Blend or orzo, cooked according to package directions,
- 1 medium zucchini, chopped into small pieces
- 2 cups tomato, chopped in small pieces
- ½ cup red onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- ½ cup basil, sliced into small ribbons
- ¼ cup pepitas, toasted
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
- Cook pasta according to package directions and allow to cool.
- Combine zucchini, tomatoes and red onion.
- Combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic and basil in a bowl and then toss with pasta.
- Combine pasta and vegetables, then add pepitas and Parmesan cheese.
- Chill for 30 minutes and serve.

It's only now, one year later, that I'm able to write about it. There's still the occasional shaking and clinging to the sheets at three a.m., and there's an arbitrary flashback I now understand is common to people who suffer from post-traumatic-stress syndrome.
It was Halloween 2009. Halloween fell on a Saturday. I recalled my own youthful exuberance when Halloween fell on a Saturday. So swept away was I in my own reminiscences that I actually allowed my then seven year-old son to convince me that having an open house Halloween party for the entire town was a great idea.
I handed out flyers and sent emails. I chased sales and hoarded party food—I had an obscene amount of Lays Potato Chips in my pantry and made enough chili con carne to start my own greenhouse effect. I lucked out in the decoration department—since the exterior of my house is in a state of total disrepair, all I had to do was throw some dollar store cobwebs over the hedges and I had an authentic haunted house. I tried to talk my 6'5" husband into playing Lurch, but he lacks my joie de vivre.
Unfortunately, the day began with a drizzle and when me and my friend Marian set out at noon to trick-or-treat with the kids I learned that if you stand in the drizzle long enough you get soaking wet in a slow torture kind of way. Along the trick-or-treat route, my husband, Jim, joined us.
"How long is it going to take you to notice what your husband did?" Marian queried.
"What are you talking about?" I asked.
"Take a good look at him and tell me," she replied.
I walked up to Jim and studied his face. Something was definitely different, but…
"He shaved his mustache," she shouted in frustration.
I looked at him and began to internally freak out. I've known the man for 26 years and in all that time I've NEVER seen him without facial hair. For confirmation, I cautiously pulled his face closer to mine. Yes, his upper lip was as naked as a baby's bottom. Amused, he grinned from ear to ear, again shocking me because his mustache had hidden his upper teeth and this was the first time I had ever seen them, and to tell the truth it startled me.
"Do you like it?" he asked.
I replied, "You had to do this when we're having a huge party tonight?" Poor man, he looked like Charlie Brown without the benefit of a sheet with holes under which he could hide. But I had no time for placating because I had to get home and get the house and food ready for a party of…I have no idea how many. That's the problem with open houses; you could get 5 people or 500.
At first, no one came, but somewhere between no one arriving and 8:30 the house became standing room only. My wrist began to ache uncorking so many bottles of wine, but it was a good pain! The kids went off by themselves allowing the adults to forget we were adults and act like this was a house party and our parents were away for the weekend. It was exciting and fun to stand around talking and laughing about things that had nothing to do with kids. We even applauded when a child came downstairs (read: Narc) to tell us that everyone was emptying their loot bags in my son's room. "Fantastic!" I remember saying. Anything that gave us parents a chance to talk without interruption was good.
When everyone left, and the magical effects of the wine wore off, my house looked like Candy Land on an acid trip. As I climbed the staircase, my foot stuck to the Mary Janes that were cemented into the carpet. The sheets on all of the beds had to be changed because chocolate (at least I was hoping it was chocolate) was smeared all over them. Clinging to the walls were Skittles and gummies, the floors contained landmines of crushed candy corn. Someone TP'd my bedroom, and the shower curtain rod was split in two. We finished cleaning somewhere around dawn vowing never again…
So the party this year is Saturday before Halloween. Should I send out flyers, or is this good enough?

Here are some important steps that can help you maintain your air conditioning units running at peak efficiency.
Check for EER ratings before buying an air conditioner
To keep a check on your electricity bills, it best to buy an air conditioner that has higher EER (energy efficiency ratio). Devices with higher EER ratings will cost less to operate.
Clean the filters of your air conditioners regularly
Dirty filters are the main reason to decrease the efficiency of you is A.C unit thus it is recommended to clean your air conditioners filter regularly during the cooling season. Look for the filter's MERV (minimum efficiency reporting value) which usually ranges from 1 to 12 for home AC units. The higher the number, the better filtration it provides.
Fix all the air Leaks
Your air conditioner's ducts can lose up to 30 percent of airflow through leaks. Thus is very important to seal all the leaks properly. Use foil tape to seal small gaps and duct mastic for larger ones. For window AC units, stuff foam between the device and the window frame, taping as needed. You will find a lot of domestic air conditioning service companies over the internet that can help you get all these fixes done professionally.
Insulate your ducts properly
Decent effort on ductwork can increase the efficiency of your air conditioners. Ducts in hot spaces like upper attics should be wrapped to keep the air within them cool. You can use spray foam, batt insulation, or rigid-foam insulation. Seal batt and rigid insulation with foil tape.
Service your Compressor/Condenser
Make sure to ask your air conditioning installer to install your air conditioner 24 inches of clear space in all directions. Thus get rid of nearby shrubs, tall grass, leaves, and hanging branches surrounding your air conditioners space around your house.
Do not make it work so hard
It's best to keep your air conditioning units cool by taking some simple measures. Keep blinds or shades down during the day and use a ceiling fan to circulate the cool air evenly around the room. These practices can extent the life of your air conditioners and make them work more effectively.
Ask a professional to maintain you air conditioner
Ask the dealer who installed your air conditioner to put you on a yearly cleaning schedule that goes beyond just cleaning the filters. Its best to schedule this air conditioning maintenance before the cooling season starts and make sure it includes the following tasks:
1. Cleaning or replacing filters
2. Inspecting and cleaning coils
3. Replacing or adjusting fan belts
4. Lubricating bearings and motors
5. Cleaning fans and blowers
6. Examining controls and safeties
7. Checking refrigerant and pressures
8. Attesting and verifying operating temperatures

Some Things You Might Want to Know About Bubble Soccer
Posted: May 17, 2017
People are already going ga-ga about this new kind of recreational sport that has taken over the minds and hearts of the people. They are calling it bubble soccer, or more simply, bubbleball. If you have already have an earful about this exciting sport, then it's time to go over the tiny details that matter. Bubble soccer is a unique contact sport that is keeping people engaged over the weekends these days. Just like laser tag and other kinds of recreational sports, this one was an instant success since its launch. Here are some details that may complete your idea about the sport.
How Did It Become So Popular in Such Short Time?
It definitely raises a lot of questions, but the answers are pretty straight forward. The sport may have, in the opinions of many, started as a little joke, but at this stage, it's a pretty cool and wildly joke. Its long-standing popularity has shown to the people that it is not a lark, but something that is going to stay. The first thing that makes bubble soccer so popular is its entertainment potency. The sport offers both comfort and enjoyment, thrill and laughter, together. How many recreational sports are out there in the market that offer all this at the same time? Not many, if you ask me. That explains why people have instantly fallen in love with this unique sport.
What's the Cost of Playing a Round of Bubble Soccer?
There are two ways in which you can enjoy this sport. You can book a place to play bubble soccer or go ahead of others and buy a full kit for your personal use. Both come for a price, but evidently, hiring the grounds for an hour or two will cost a lot less than buying the complete supplies. If you are a fan who likes to play very often, then going for the latter option makes a lot more sense than frequently hiring fields for a round of soccer bubble with your friends. Of course you have the option of splitting the cost with your friendsif you are playing with them. A third option is to go for a bubble soccer rental that doubles the fun and saves much of the expense. The game kits come together with safety appliances.
Details of the Game
A game of bubble soccer lasts about 24 minutes, each half running for 12 minutes. However, you can shrink the time to 10 minutes for each half, depending on the availability of the ground and your convenience. There is a half-time interval during which players can relax and sip some energy drinks before returning back to the field. The players, like regular soccer, are divided into two teams. Only in this case, the teams consist of 5 players each. The teams can have one female player at least. Substitutions are allowed for all ready players in case the need for it arises.

The IDL relies on lawyers, journalists, researchers, advocacy organizations, and other donors for its collections. We collect internal corporate documents acquired via litigation, Freedom of Information Act Requests, partner libraries, and private collections. If you would like to donate documents, please contact us. We accept anonymous donations.
Truth Tobacco Industry Documents
The Truth Tobacco Industry Documents (TTID) archive (formerly known as the Legacy Tobacco Documents Library) was created in 2002 and is our largest archive with over 14 million items. TTID was built to house and provide permanent access to tobacco industry internal corporate documents produced during litigation between US States and the seven major tobacco industry organizations and other sources. These internal documents give a view into the workings of one of the largest and most influential industries in the United States
Drug Industry Documents
The Drug Industry Documents Archive was created in 2006 in collaboration with UCSF faculty members C. Seth Landefeld, MD and Michael Steinman, MD. Originally established to house documents from an off-label marketing lawsuit against Parke-Davis, the archive has grown to include documents from additional sources illustrating how the pharmaceutical industry, academic journals and institutions, and continuing medical education organizations operate in ways that are detrimental to public health
Chemical Industry Documents
The Chemical Industry Documents Archive was created in 2017 in collaboration with the UCSF Program on Reproductive Health and the Environment (PRHE). These internal company documents highlight the chemical industry's knowledge of the risks associated with toxic substances such as benzene and attempts to intervene in government standards and minimize the information about adverse effects to workers and the public.
All materials are digitized and publicly available online at the Industry Documents Library website.

Managed to nap again. I then awoke, grabbed a bowl of cereal. Sat down at the laptop and logged in. Found an email about a Childfree google hangout, thought "why not?" logged in, and found whoopee! Just on time to join in! (Didn't even think about the time zone differences or anything! No planning!)
perfect timing on my behalf.
Video chatted with Marcia Drut-Davis, her husband and another CF man named Dann.
Pretty cool to meet a famous CF person! (Marcia that is for anyone who reads this and unfamiliar with CF people in the news.)
Logged into facebook afterwards to do some more admin work. (I admin on a couple of groups and pages)... Unpaid but well worth the fun times that go along with it.
I'm on Facebook for a while, reading CF group posts and things and keeping an eye on people in the groups I watch over... and I get a PM from my little sister Rosie.
Rosie suggested I write a blog post about the word YOLO.
Now I am a huge lover of syntax, but the word YOLO is a weird one for me. I use it when I'm home with my family (around my younger siblings especially) but never with my friends in Wellington.
It's a weird one.
Anyway, the word YOLO.
YOLO stands for You Only Live Once.
You Obviously Love Owls (yes, yes, I do!)
You Only Love Once...
YOLO has a huge fan base. From pre-teens and teens to the old people...
This music video was one of the first places I'd heard of Yolo:
YOLO song by the lonely island
There's also the Urban Dictionary view of Yolo:
urbandictionary: yolo
Of course there's a plethora of Memes online as well... aren't they everywhere?
And then, just when I thought the YOLO craze was coming to a crazy downward spiral never to be seen or heard from again, this happens:
My precious dictionaries!
With the English language constantly evolving... new words being invented daily, and more and more people using the internet to share ideas, languages, thoughts, videos, songs and blogs... there's a higher demand than ever to include new words into the language at a faster rate.
I've been in contact with the Dictionary Centre at Victoria University (where I was doing some Linguistics Studies) and learned that a new word being used has to be used by a certain number of native speakers in certain contexts before it will be added into dictionaries. This means that although new words are being invented -almost daily- by teenagers and others in local society... that it does take some time for words to be accepted and widely used.

Democratic Congressman Brad Sherman admitted Wednesday he does not expect his articles of impeachment to actually oust President Donald Trump from office, but he said he hopes they can serve as a means to stop what he termed as Trump's impulsive governing style.
"The hope is that it triggers an intervention in the White House," Sherman, who represents parts of the Los Angeles area, told Fox News Channel's "Tucker Carlson Tonight."
Sherman said he hopes his actions persuade Trump's staff to tell him, "Now it's real articles, and for that and for so many other reasons, Mr. President, you've got to stop announcing reversals and foreign policy at 4 in the morning in 140 characters. You've got to stop making foreign policy in complete ignorance of the facts."
Sherman said he does not expect Trump to stop tweeting, but that he does hope to stop "incompetent, impulsive government."
"Look, this is unlikely to happen," Sherman said. "But again and again people close to Trump have tried to sit him down and tried to get him to be competent. If he's competent, and the fact that he obstructed justice will be ignored by the Republican majority, and then he will not be impeached."
Sherman argues Trump obstructed justice by threatening the job of former FBI Director James Comey, whom he eventually fired.
If for no other reason, Sherman said, Trump's people need to convince him his presidency is at risk.
"I think that if he continues this style of government for six months, eight months, more, it will be at risk," he said.

And finally I'm settled and all moved into my new space. I didn't move far.... just up a flight of stairs, but what a difference and what a delight! The saying goes... a change is as good as a holiday, and that couldn't be truer right now! I loved my old room don't get me wrong, and I spent just over 3 1/2 very happy years in that light and bright space. But I think there comes a time for us all to need just a tad more space - still in a shared house, cause that is how most of us Londoners live - by choice or not...
I am fortunate though, and very grateful to live in a beautiful house, in an area I adore - and sharing with some lovely new housemates. Its all good! And change is good.
The changing of the seasons, a bit more blue skies, but still that slight freshness and a bite in the air. I love knowing that spring is almost almost here! And I do feel like I am slowly waking from my hibernation, from that dark place I have fallen prey to.... the weight is lifting and I feel like I am slowly awakening my purpose again - stepping back into the path that will lead me towards the future....
So, with a grateful heart and from my cosy new bed - I wish you all a good night, a good rest and some sweet dreaming
Tomorrow awaits, and oh tomorrow I will welcome you with open arms, an open heart and big happy smile - tomorrow you'll be mine!
Image - just a little quick snap of my little sleeping arrangement in my new loft room.... more to follow soon

Today's Cato Online Forum essay comes from economist Laura Baughman, who laments the typical methodological approaches to estimating relationships between trade agreements and jobs, pointing out how those approaches seem to be used to validate a priori positions, either pro- or anti-trade, rather than reveal best estimates. While economists are better at estimating the relationships between trade agreements and output or between trade agreements and trade flows, Baughman explains that if the likely impact of on jobs is sought, there is a more objective approach to take. And the results of that method suggest that "it will be hard to argue that [TTIP] will not be a job 'winner' for the United States."
Read it. Provide feedback. And sign up for the Cato TTIP conference on October 12.

It is officially Idaho spring bear hunting season. If you are not hunting with us (which we obviously hope you are) then hope you are hunting with another Idaho bear hunting outfitter. And at the very least heading out to the woods to give a try yourself in a DIY type hunt. Which ever route you choose we wish you the best of luck and great times in the Idaho backcountry! Related Posts Idaho Spring Bear Season "Officially" Opens in Backcountry Units It is almost time for my second favorite time of year…spring bear season! It "officially" opens in many back country units like where we guide in the Middlefork zone on April 1st. I say officially as that is when it does open, but with this years late and heavy snowfalls, I am confident the bears will not be waking from their winter slumber for at least a few more weeks, at least at our elevations. The snow is still quite visible around here, and I am sure is still quite deep in the backcountry where we will be conducting our spring bear hunts, but with the warmer weather patterns and the official opener, I can hardly wait to get on the back of old Diesel and begin setting those baits. Thanks to those who are joining us this spring. We look forward to a successful hunt! Front range hunts in Idaho open April 15. Good luck to all those hunting Idaho spring bear hunts this year! If you are hunting Idaho spring bear season this year, please note that we are now in the bear baiting and bear baiting supply business. We are currently carrying stock of bulk bear baits and are working on scents to attract bears to your bear bait. We have applied what we have learned over the last nine seasons of bear hunting in Idaho and gathered that knowledge into one place. We used to have to go to 3 different places to obtain all the "ingredients" to what we consider a successful bear baiting venture and are now offering it in one location and for less money than you can find it elsewhere. If you are interested in learning more about baiting bears, either in Idaho or whatever state you are hunting (provided it is legal there) contact us and we would be happy to visit with you about it. Idaho's Spring Bear Season Officially Opens Today! Although it has been a mild winter, it still seems like it has been a long one waiting for spring bear season to finally arrive here in Idaho! April 1 is the "official" opener for many of the backcountry units, but in normal years the bears are still comfortably snuggled in their winter beds under feet of snow. This year bears have already been spotted out cruising the south facing hill sides looking for that new green growth they need to get their stomach working after a long winters nap. We can't wait to get out there and and get after them. We hope you will join us or at least another Idaho outfitter for an Idaho outdoor adventure to remember. See more about Idaho outfitters at www.IOGA.org If you have not made your plans for where to hunt spring bear this season, we still have a few openings available to Bear hunting over bait in Idaho's famous Frank Church River of No return wilderness area. This is a drive in camp with all access to bait sites after that accomplished by horses or mules. We are in a 2 bear area and wolf season is open as well during the hunt. We have a high percentage of color phase bears and usually amazing scenery to enjoy while in the "Frank". If you are a do-it-yourself or DIY bear hunter, we are selling bear bait again this year. Contact us for pricing and availability. Wild Idaho's Spring Bear Season OFFICIALLY Arrives! It can only mean one thing when we are hauling hay, chained up in the old Dodge over high mountain passes, shoeing horses at the trailhead and crossing rising rivers, all in the same day! That's right…spring bear season has arrived and word at the trailhead from the guides is we have active baits, hunters have arrived and we are heading in for our first of eight straight weeks of bear hunting in Idaho' famous Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness area big game unit 27, where bear tags for a non-resident are offered at the reduced price of 31.75 and there is a 2 bear limit. Idaho ranks highest in the lower 48 for an opportunity at a color phase bear as well. Access in to these backcountry units is challenging at best and downright exhilarating at their peak. Access requires either horseback, boat or plane to arrive at your final hunting destination. But the reward for your troubles can be a nice Idaho spring bear and a look over some of the roughest country in the lower 48. Spring bear hunt prep work hauling in the hay and bait 2015 Idaho Spring Bear Season Begins with a Trophy Class Bear Our first official week of spring bear hunting in our backcountry unit 27 in Central Idaho began with a father son combo from Nebraska and when we went to sit a couple of baits within ear shot of each other, Cam (the son and youth hunter) and I were greeted by the sound of a rifle report just towards the end of legal light. With curiosity getting the best of us, we sprinted over to where his Dad Jeff had been sitting and he and his first year guide, Jacob Roy, were no where to be found. A quick look through bino's showed a big black blob near the bait and two people cautiously approaching the blackness. Once I heard the victory whoop, I knew the big black blob was a bear. He looked big in the bino's and we were not disappointed when we got there to help with the skinning chores. This thing was a true trophy bear. It was pure black with no tan or white anywhere, squared 7 feet and its skull measured 22" (with a tape measure) making it the largest bear ever harvested with us here at Wild Idaho Outfitters. Congratulations to Jacob Roy for his first guided bear credit and to Jeff F. For his first bear as well! Spring Bear Season is Almost Here and There are a Few Spots Left Bookings for this years 2014 spring bear season have been brisk and we are grateful that so many hunters are putting their faith and hunting dollars in us and Idaho. That being said, we have just a few more spots left for this spring 2014 Idaho spring bear season. Most weeks are already booked but we have room for a couple of hunters May 18-23 and June 8-13. If you have that high school senior graduating, what would be a more perfect High School graduation present than a spring bear hunt in Idaho's famous Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness area? Book your spots today before they are all gone. Our backcountry Idaho spring bear season "officially" begins April 1 but because of snow pack and elevation, our season begins May 4. Hope you can make it and we look forward to meeting and hunting with those who have already booked a spring bear hunt with us! Remember too, if you cannot make it this spring, we still have openings for fall bear hunting season. 2010 Idaho Hunting Season Comes to a Close Hunting season in Idaho's backcountry unit 27 comes to an official close on November 18 and this year the snow began to roll in about then. So after 2 days of packing out camp it was time to chain up and haul livestock over the pass to winter quarters and begin the drying out of tents, tack and equipment. Riding in to pack camp after the last hunter leaves is always sort of a bitter sweet journey. First you think "whew" we made it through and then you think "hell this is a lot of work" and then finally it sets in…the dreaded PHD; street name Post hunting depression. A common malady with most hunting/outdoor enthusiasts that find themselves suddenly thrown from the great outdoors into the great indoors due to a monster snowstorm and no open season…but wait now may be the time to take up mountain lion hunting, predator hunting or even cross country skiing. My cure for PHD thankfully came fast and came in the form of a to-do list that can't possibly be finished by spring bear season, so there is no time to waste pining away that hunting season is over. Time to get to work planning for next hunting season:) This years season was pretty amazing. From some trophy deer to an amazing drop camp bull, to a 100% success rate on spike only elk hunt in Utah making new friends and getting to hunt again with some old friends. It was a pretty amazing year. We really appreciate each and every hunter we hunted with this year. I hope your Holidays are perfect! Comment (0) Comments are closed.
