Banish the Winter Blues with a SAD light box
It has been scientifically proven that low levels of light make many people feel fed-up, tired and less energetic, which helps to explain why lots of people find winters so depressing. So, if you spend part of the year feeling less than your usual bright and active self, then a SAD light box like the LitePod is for you.
Despite its size, the Litepod 10,000 lux light box can deliver a full treatment in 45 minutes to 1 hour.
· Small, discrete and stylish;
· Perfect for use in the office or around the home;
· Ideal for using next to your computer or below the screen;
· Light weight and portable;
· Treatment time 45 minutes to 1 hour, but it can be used for longer as it is an excellent working light.
Light levels determine the sleep / wake cycles of both animals and humans. The desire to sleep is brought on by the secretion of Melatonin, and the bright natural light or the light from a SAD lamp significantly reduces Melatonin, greatly improving our energy levels. Typical symptoms of SAD are depression, lethargy, anxiety, craving, social problems, sleep problems and loss of libido. These symptoms can be commonly resolved through the use of the Litepod light box.

Dear Sirs
I just want to say how delighted I was
with your company. I ordered my lightbox on the Thursday afternoon and it
arrived at 10am on the Friday morning! I have only been using the equipment for
about 5 days and already I can notice the difference.
I have felt unwell in the wintertime
for as long as I can remember but now I am no longer depressed, have far more
energy and just feel I can face life again.
Thanks again.

Violent scenes erupted following Middlesbrough's game against Sheffield United Saturday involving more than 200 fans.
Children as young as 10 were injured in the clashes and one police officer was hospitalised .
Cleveland Police said five people were arrested but more are expected as the investigation into the disorder continues.
The violence started following a pitch invasion by some Sheffield United fans after the visiting side thought they'd snatched a late equaliser against Boro, only for the goal to be disallowed.
The violence then continued outside the ground, with hundreds of fans involved and dozens of police and stewards called to try and keep the situation under control, the Gazette Liver reports .
One Sheffield United fan told The Gazette that fans were "chucking things at each other", adding: "It got heated."
Cleveland Police have now issued a statement condemning the violence and launching an investigation.
They say a police officer was injured and taken to hospital and that five people have so far been arrested on suspicion of a number of offences.
Those arrested are currently in police custody, though the number is expected to rise as the investigation into the violence unfolds.
Assistant Chief Constable Jason Harwin said: "We will absolutely not tolerate violence of this nature and we will work to identify the offenders and bring them to justice.
"The vast majority of fans accept that football is a family game, watched by children, parents and grandparents. It's terrifying for children to witness such violence, or be innocently embroiled in it as their parents frantically try to keep them safe.
"Unfortunately a small minority of people behave in a manner which puts innocent fans at risk. We will be working closely with Middlesbrough Football Club and Sheffield United as part of our investigations."
Anyone with information, or who may have any images that may help police with their investigations are asked to call Cleveland Police on the non-emergency number 101.

Spurgeon vs. Galyon, etc.SPURGEON COLLIDES WITH GALYON
Some Hybrid Calvinists dislike the term "decision" in the matter of salvation, and some talk about a so-called "decisional regeneration" idea in an effort to discredit the use of the word "decision."
So be it. They can choose their own poison. But to try to drag Spurgeon into their leaky tent is preposterous.
SPURGEON vs. GALYON
In the case of James Galyon, it is indeed "2 Worlds Collide" -- namely, Galyon's Hybrid Calvinist World colliding with C. H. Spurgeon's world.
Spurgeon preached the Gospel to "dead sinners," called upon the dead sinners to repent and believe, and thereby he made converts to Christ.
The Pedo-infected Hybrids (on the whole) rely on "infant regeneration," which is supposedly an "inheritance" in consequence of the infants being born to believers. That is why there are no "evangelists" among the Hybrid Calvinists. Their chief business is to seek proselytes to Hybrid Calvinism from among believers who were previously converted by "non-Calvinists."
If thou believest in Jesus Christ and him crucified, in the moment that thou believest, this great change of nature is effected in thee; for faith has in itself a singularly transforming power. . . . . So, faith towards God in itself produces a total change of mind in the man who has it. But, beside that, there goes with faith a divine energy which changes the heart of man.
(Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, Vol. 41, page 235, Despised Light Withdrawn).
Spurgeon did indeed teach that there was a pre-faith work ("prevenient grace") done by the Word and Spirit in the sinner, such as in the case of Lydia, but Spurgeon did not call this the "new birth" or "regeneration," as if one is born again before he has believed on Christ.
The fact is, Spurgeon said the sinner is "not saved" by the preceding or prevenient work before he is brought to "decision," or faith (Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, Volume 11, Year 1865, pages 596, 597).
Ian Murray Acknowledges Spurgeon's View
No less than Pedobaptist and Hybrid Calvinism advocate, Mr. Ian Murray of The Banner of Truth, has often in the past twisted and spun Spurgeon in an effort to make a Hybrid Calvinist out of Spurgeon. But it seems that Murray, for some unknown reason, in more recent times, has felt under obligation to acknowledge the fact that Spurgeon indeed held that faith "occurs at the same time as the new birth" (The Old Evangelicism, page 65), which conflicts with the "pre-faith" notion of the Hybrids.
This acknowledgment was called to my attention a while back by a brother Ian Elsasser and I am deeply indebted to him for the reference. If some Hybrid Calvinist tries to use Murray's past twists of Spurgeon to teach Hybrid Calvinism, you can refer the person to Murray's acknowledgment in this book published in 2005 by the Banner of Truth.
We have also before called attention to --
Here is C. H. Spurgeon's Immaculate Syllogism, which is based on 1 John 5:4. This is on page 142 of Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, Volume 17, 1971, Sermon #979, "Faith and Regeneration" which Galyon has posted on his blog:
"Whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world:
But faith overcomes the world,
Therefore the man who has faith is regenerate;
And what means that but that he is saved, and that his faith is the instrument by which he achieves victories."
To state the syllogism summarily:
1. "WHATSOEVER is BORN OF GOD overcometh the world."
2. But FAITH overcomes the world.
3. Therefore, the instant that FAITH is born in a man by the Word and Spirit he is BORN OF GOD in that instant -- and not before.
There is no way under the Sun to squeeze a "born again before faith" situation into that syllogism!
No one can find a person who is "born again" who does not have faith in Christ!
FAITH is that which is BORN OF GOD,
therefore the man who has faith begotten in him
is REGENERATED -- and NO OTHER!
Until faith in Christ has been born in a man, the man has not been born again. It's that simple.
There is simply no room in Spurgeon for the Pedobaptist/Hardshell doctrine of "regeneration precedes faith" -- advocated by the likes Turretin, Shedd, Berkhof, Spoul, Packer, and Packer's disciple, James Galyon -- which alleges that "regeneration" is a separate and distinct preceding act distinguished from effectual calling simultaneously by the Word and Spirit.

American Med Supply July AED Giveaway Contest Winner
– Username: m_lapuebla is July's Contest Winner –
Allentown PA, August 1, 2011 Username: m_lapuebla is this months winner. With just 77 points, this is m_lapuebla's first win in the American Med Supply AED giveaway.
American Med Supply is having a contest to give away an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) in the month of October in support of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) Awareness month. Our goal with the campaign is to get the word out that defibrillators save lives and to eventually know that everyone in America within four minutes a working defibrillator. More than 80% of SCA victims survive when automated external defibrillation occurs within five minutes of the onset of sudden cardiac arrest.
Every year in the US, sudden cardiac arrest claims the lives of more than 350,000 people and hundreds of thousands more worldwide. Today, fewer than 5% of SCA victims survive, largely because trained first responders with an AED do not reach them in time. In most cases, their key to survival is prompt defibrillation therapy. When defibrillation therapy is delayed more than ten minutes, the victim's chance of survival drops to less than 5 percent. Defibrillators are life savers.
To raise awareness even further, every month leading up to October, American Med Supply is giving away great gifts and prizes like:
- $25 American Express Gift Cards
- $25 Gift Cards to Chili's, Macaroni Grill, On The Border
- $25 value Ultimate 234 piece First Aid Kit
- $75 value AHA & American Red Cross AED Trainer
- Grand Prize, an AED, a $2,100 value.

I've written about this before. However sometimes in life we need a few reminders. You know how it goes.
My relationship with raw cacao has come up again on my journey and I want to share it with you. Always in the hope that you will find it useful and it helps somebody else on their own journey to true health.
I have a love hate thing going on with cacao. I can't get enough! I get addicted. I rely on it, to stimulate me & power me through my day.
Plus it tastes delicious, and who doesn't love chocolate??
I also know that my unique body type doesn't do well with too many stimulants. Ie : caffeine. So this means, coffee, cacao green tea…
My heart beats fast, I feel hot.. this doesn't happen every time, but usually when i've had too much.
Over the last couple of week's of enjoying my hot chocolate tonic's daily, Ive noticed slowly, slowly, I haven't been feeling my best. A tired and wired feeling. A few headaches and pain around my liver. I am very in tune with my body so I can feel when something is off. Not quite right..
There's that voice in my head, saying it's the cacao Sarah, you're having it every day, its burning your adrenals out, your little kidney battery packs.
I ignored this little voice for a while, I just wasn't ready to admit it to myself. I was enjoying my hot chocolate tonics too much.
I talk about connection to ourselves all the time, and the magic within you.
I was ignoring mine.. and the other morning loud and clear my inner power, my intuition came through after I stood in the kitchen and asked myself "what do I need to do?" – Sarah, you have to give the cacao a break, lets build up your energy naturally without the morning stimulant. Your running off a false energy, not your own and you are becoming burnt out.
My inner voice was loud and clear!
I could not ignore my intuition any longer. So thats it, I'm listening now and taking action.
I'm going to explain why personally I feel too much cacao (like every day) can start to have a negative effect on health and why it has on mine.
I'm going to list the pro's & con's about cacao and how it relates in chinese medicine:
- Chocolate is said to fight fatigue and build up resistance.
- Cacao has properties realated to the heart, spleen and kidneys in chinese medicine. The sweetness of the chocolate works with our spleen so can calm our thoughts, make us happy and increase energy.
- Cacao is warming, so it's heat stirs the heart and making our blood quicken, stoking our fire energy. Strengthing our yang energy – kidney energy – sexual energy.
- It increases your physical energy, it stirs passion and moves Qi (energy) and blood.
- It provides a quick boost of yang, physical active energy.
- It helps to expel dampness, and stagnation and benefits the liver too. This is why if you are angry or stressed, you are attracted to chocolate as it temporarily gets things moving. (The liver is the seat of anger & stress)
However – here is what happens when it becomes too much of a good thing and you over do the cacao.
- Chocolate is powerful. It is medicinal. A little goes a long way.
- Too much overwhelms the body, particularly the spleen and kidneys.
- Consuming chocolate in excess can easily aggravate dampness (candida) which will make you feel heavy, lethargic, overweight and depressed.
- It can also exhaust kidney energy, yang energy. which means you can become unmotivated, apathetic, impotent and sore and achy.
- So too much chocolate overwhelms the spleen and leads to dampness.
Its all really a little lesson in balance. Moderation. Using food as medicine.
I'll be sharing with you how I feel over the next month of cutting out the cacao.
Let me know if you have had a similar experience with cacao? candida? dampness? adrenal health?
"The beauty in balance "
Love Sarah xx

Other than various illnesses (last week's was short as I had a belting migraine and couldn't think of much to say), what's been happening here? Well, we've been getting a few things sorted around the house so that our kitchen is much more usable and there is somewhere sensible to put stuff in the bathroom as the following pix show:
Just like the first place we stayed in, we don't have a bathtub or even a shower tray here, but you get used to it pretty quickly, and it's amazing how many things we think necessary aren't at all really!
This is our balcony with the utility and bin area. The 3 tubs on the lower left are boxes for paper and plastic/metal recycling and the general waste bucket. The organic waste is kept tightly in the fridge out of the way of any cockroaches looking for a good feeding place! I was going to say 'uninvited guests', but, frankly, many people just plain do invite them in by leaving food and dirty waste around, water on the kitchen floor and also leaving thoroughfares open. We've got nets on the gratings, stuff something up against the back door and Martin is about to silicon the bit around the gas inlet pipe etc so that all entrances are well blocked. Some of the locals have said to me, 'Cockroaches? Oh, you get used to them!' But I don't really see one needs to if one is scrupulous about waste disposal and cleaning. I've never seen Martin so keen on washing up – so living near nasty household pests has its positive points after all!!=)
Martin's suit is hanging out there to dry after a good soaking on the way home from the min last night! The weather has been very changeable the last few days and whilst I'm not going to go to the point of saying, like Rosie, that there's a nip in the air when it drops to 34oC, the quality of the heat has changed and it's much more bearable these days – much drier. Having said that, there's been a typhoon in the area (just a regular one – nothing to worry about and it didn't even hit the island) thus some wind and rain the past few days. No air con needed today, I've just opened the windows and the balcony door and the wind blows nicely through.
School is still going well and we're both happy with our marks and progress. Sir says he's not bothered what grades he gets as long as he makes progress, but I can't afford to be that easy on myself as I have to get over 80% each term in order not to lose the next month's scholarship instalment. The funding body wants their money's worth and, whilst you can see their point and on the whole it's an idea I support, it can make it a bit stressful at times. Oh, we found out yesterday that the girl who I got a pic of sleeping on the desk one break time is actually a sister! She asked Martin if we were in the truth yesterday as she thought we must be. (Nice compliment, no?) She never says a word unless spoken to directly, so I've had no chance to get to know her, but now there's more reason to try again to get her to talk. I think 8am classes are not the best option for her – or me, for that matter!!
Discovered this flower growing in one of the tubs on our balcony. Isn't it a lovely colour?
We've had some interesting visitors lately. Not just humans (a former student of Martin's who was working at Huddersfield Uni came home to Taiwan the other week and called in to see us 10 days ago), but insects as well. Yes, we have a few ants as most places seem to here and the occasional mossie gets in, but whilst I was pouring over my textbooks the other day, what I thought was a small cockroach seemed to fall onto the back of my desk. It was actually a cricket! Goodness knows how either it, or the centipede we found strolling across the living room floor on Sunday, got in, but they do! The occasional 'lone ranger' I can cope with anyway! I'm not a big fan of the mid – large scale insect. Anything bigger than we get at home is a shock to the system, even for someone whose trying not to be a scaredy cat!!
Martin's got a couple of decent calls going and has been going with the local bros on some of their calls and studies as well, and a sister who lives around the corner has asked me to go with her on some of the studies she's started recently. I'll have to perch on the back of her motorbike to get there though, so I'm not really looking forward to that – I don't have a very sensible sense of balance! Anyway, I'll give it a try and, as long as she doesn't mind being clung to for dear life, I daresay we may make it intact! She said some of the places are up hills and off bus routes. More on that later…
That's about all for the news post this week. Janet asked for some photos of the Hall and the shops, so I'll try and get some like that this coming week and get them posted soon. We'll probably have a 'play day' next Tuesday and go somewhere touristy that I can show shots of next Thurs/Fri too, so look out for that. We should be able to get a clearer idea of budget when the bills come in soon, so then I can start sending some things home. Who wants a Chinese name chop? If you do, e-mail me the characters for your Chinese name and I'll get you one. It'll only be the cheapest type (about £1 – we're only students), but they're fun to use. Saw some coolie hats in a shop in the next street on the way home today and, no, I am NOT sending you one of those, Clive!!=) If anyone wants a coolie hat, they've to come and get one themselves. Deal??=)

Beware of Gorilla Glue

Beware of Gorilla Glue
A warning for pet owners.
It sounds odd, but local veterinarians say it's a common problem involving dogs and glue.
A Lexington woman says her German Sheppherd Judah got into a bottle of Gorilla Glue.
It expanded in Judah's stomach.
Surgery was required to save the dog's life and remove the cantalope-size mass.
Vets at Woodford Vet Clinic say it's the third case they've seen in six months of dogs ingesting Gorilla Glue.
As for Judah, the dog is recovering and will be back to normal in a couple of days.

The card of Durability is not describing the physical attribute of that characteristic. The toughness at job right here is of character – the proper control of feelings and needs. This card symbolizes determination, resolution, activity and also resolution. Aspects that are not associated with this card are concern, nurturing and forgiveness. It is all about control of the self and of the surroundings. There is a deep seated power right here, one that relocates delicately but victoriously. This state of being is accomplished by adequately managing your psychological side with your additional rational mental adeptness. If this card appears in a tarot studying, whatever objectives you seek can be achieved if you are prepared to be patient cartomante .
The Hermit has a purposeful cause for shutting himself off from the globe cartomanzia . He isn't really simply an antisocial penny pincher. He is looking for his inner scoop with just the assistance of a minor lantern and also the sound of the tone within. The planet's interruptions could obscure that facts and also make it more challenging to make use of those helping tools. He has currently done much job to relaxing his inner chaos however the outside disorder around your man is avoiding the job from being completed. It is a purposeful as well as required seclusion. When the project is done, he will certainly go back to the world enlightened. If this card shows up in your tarot studying, now is the moment for self reflection – to determine who you absolutely are and also just what you long to be. If the card describes a specific complication, that problem will have to be fixed prior to any other development can be made. If the card describes an individual, a coach may will enter your life as well as quick guide you to self discovery.
Though it bears the same name as a tacky televised online game tv show, the Wheel of Ton of money is energy in its most potent form. This is the cost behind our lives, the driver that sets up the couple of fate as well as fate in movement. The shape of the tire is agent of the life cycles that all of us should traverse in our pursuit to a correct life as well as knowledge. Fortune and also fate appear to be points that we could not forecast but we can. Yet tarot studyings and other divinity approaches can idea us in to our fates as well as fate works on that cycle. Every start has an end – and also a brand-new starting point right after that. Change is unavoidable and also in the event be welcomed and learned from. When the bad spells are overwhelming you, bear in thoughts that it is only a matter of time before the happy times obtain their turn.
Justice is not referring to the rules as well as guidelines made and also imposed by guy. He presides over the constant legislations of the world that keep things running as they are suggested to. Induce as well as impact are among the locations that Justice is in control over. Though we have long considering that determined the relationship in between these areas, we are still unable to forecast exactly what particular impact will certainly be produced by every reason. Naturally, karma would even be a law that Justice would certainly impose. If you act in a beneficial way, positive things will go back to you. If you act in a negative manner, beware which will come back.

Chris has his own room!
Well Chris finally has a room of his own! HE has several mounts (deer heads) that he is always wanting to hang...I of course do not want a bunch of dead animals adorning my walls, so our compromise...they go to the cabin, but I still didn't really want them in the living room, so one of the guest rooms is where the deer have found their home. I got pretty creative (on Chris' suggestion) and painted (free hand) a camouflage pattern on one of the walls, with the other walls green. I am pretty impressed with my artistic talents, so here is the proof for all of you!

U.S. extends long-standing sanctions on Sudan• www.reuters.com
U.S. President Barack Obama Tuesday extended sanctions on Sudan for another year, saying Khartoum's policies had not yet improved enough to warrant their removal.
Obama's order maintains several sets of U.S. sanctions imposed since 1997 which restrict U.S. trade and investment with Sudan and block the assets of the Sudanese government and certain officials.
The United States had offered Khartoum the chance to put relations on a better footing if it cooperated with the January referendum that set South Sudan on the path to declare its independence on July 9.
While the vote went off relatively smoothly, Khartoum and the South Sudan government in Juba have remained at loggerheads over the main oil-producing border state of South Kordofan, where rebels and government forces have repeatedly clashed since June.
Violence has also broken out in Blue Nile and Abyei states, while U.S. officials say they have not seen sufficient progress in western Darfur region, where mainly non-Arab rebels took up arms against Khartoum in 2003 leading to a harsh government crackdown that Washington and some activists labeled genocide.

President Trump has guided his organization to implement the country's migration laws all the more forcefully, unleashing the full constrain of the central government to discover, capture and oust those in the nation unlawfully, paying little heed to whether they have carried out genuine violations.
Reports discharged on Tuesday by the Department of Homeland Security uncovered the wide extent of the president's desire: to announce wrongdoings by undocumented outsiders; strip such settlers of security insurances; enroll nearby cops as masters; erect new confinement offices; demoralize refuge searchers; and, at last, accelerate extraditions.
The new authorization approaches put into practice dialect that Mr. Trump utilized on the battle field, boundlessly extending the meaning of "criminal outsiders" and cautioning that such unapproved foreigners "routinely defraud Americans," dismiss the "administer of law and represent a danger" to individuals in groups over the United States.
Regardless of those affirmations in the new records, look into shows bring down levels of wrongdoing among workers than among local conceived Americans.
The president's new movement strategies are probably going to be invited by some law implementation authorities around the nation, who have required a harder crackdown on unapproved foreigners, and by a few Republicans in Congress who have contended that careless authorization energizes a ceaseless stream of unapproved outsiders.
Be that as it may, taken together, the new strategies are a dismissal of the occasionally more controlled endeavors by previous Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bramble and their forerunners, who tried to adjust securing the country's outskirts with financial, strategic and compassionate points of confinement on the practice of laws go by Congress.
"The dedicated execution of our migration laws is best accomplished by utilizing all these statutory experts to the best degree practicable," John F. Kelly, the secretary of country security, wrote in one of two reminders discharged on Tuesday. "Likewise, division staff might make full utilization of these specialists."
The quick effect of that move is not yet completely known. Advocates for workers cautioned on Tuesday that the new outskirt control and requirement mandates would make an environment of dread that was probably going to drive those in the nation illicitly more profound into the shadows.
Organization authorities said a portion of the new strategies — like one looking to send unapproved outskirt crossers from Central America to Mexico while they anticipate expulsion hearings — could produce months to put in results and may be restricted in degree.
For the time being, alleged Dreamers, who were conveyed to the United States as youthful kids, won't be focused on unless they carry out wrongdoings, authorities said on Tuesday.
Mr. Trump has not yet said where he will get the billions of dollars expected to pay for a huge number of new outskirt control specialists, a system of confinement offices to keep unapproved foreigners and a divider along the whole southern fringe with Mexico.
Be that as it may, politically, Mr. Kelly's activities on Tuesday serve to fortify the president's remaining among a center body electorate — the individuals who accuse unapproved foreigners for removing occupations from nationals, carrying out egregious wrongdoings and being a money related weight on elected, state and nearby governments.
What's more, as a result of the progressions, a huge number of outsiders in the nation unlawfully now confront a far more noteworthy probability of being found, captured and in the end expelled.
"The message is: The movement law is ready to take on the world," said Mark Krikorian, the official chief of the Center for Immigration Studies, which underpins limited migration. "That abusing migration law is no longer an optional offense."
Attorneys and advocates for migrants said the new approaches could even now be tested in court. Maricopa County in Arizona invested years safeguarding its sheriff at the time, Joseph Arpaio, in government court, where he was found to have oppressed Latinos.

don't laugh its' not funny! (And it hurts a bit)
Seems that gut problem I had at Hardmoors wasn't intestinal but muscular. Mind I do think something else was going on given the sweating and over drinking. I did think it a bit funny that after I'd slept a bit I didn't really have any problems.
The following week was a short 3 miles hill race around Penshaw monument. I scattered my mum's ashes here as it is where she played as a kid so I try and do the race every year then have a wee chat with mum. It's always a fast and furious affair and always well contested among local clubs and especially between Sunderland strollers and Sunderland harriers. Young Yusuf came with us keen to get the last few races in before he went back to Turkey.
At the start he whispers, Flip we are the only fat boys here! Aye I say, they're all young whippets. Then of course I had to explain what a whippet was. Anyway the race is off and I'm over the hill ( yes I know ) and about a mile in I can feel something again in my lower abdomen. Nothing great, just uncomfortable and very much like how my gut started to feel about 10 miles into Hardmoors. Anyway finished the race in a PW with and the ache never really got any worse. After I was slightly ache in the lower abdomen and on my hips but nowt much.
Following week it was Whorlton fell race and yet again I have the same feeling but much worse. It's particularly bad going downhill. I love to say I enjoyed this race btw but apart from one climb and a short run across the meadow at the end it was really a hard packed trail race.
It did finish in front of Whorlton castle but not one of my favourites. Mind the pub from which it started, a few hundred yards away from the finish was grand . After I tried to explain where it hurt but I find I'm it's still really not easy to identify anything exactly except to lower abdomen. There is also a slight discomfort in my balls and i'm a bit nauseous. Afterwards I was a bit sore on my hips and to the right of the pubic bone but again when not running I didn't feel too bad.
This was Yusuf's last race with us and I think everyone thinks the same as me, it's been an absolute pleasure to have our forever smiling young Turkish friend with us this short time.
With having to miss the whw (and heck I really missed being there but just could not justify the costs when work is fairly low at the moment) I had signed up for a race I've always wanted to do, the Durham Dales challenge. This is a great 30 mile LDWA race form Woolsingham over to Middleton in Teasdale and back across some lovely moors. With this problem in mind, I did think maybe I should change down to the 16 mile event but after talking to a few who had done it I was assured that if I had a problem I could pull out and they would get me back. I was also intrigued by the route over to Middleton, something I've looked at many times but never got around to doing. I also wanted to see if this problem comes on again and try and identify exactly where it was hurting. I could hardly go to the Doc's or the sports fizz with such a general complaint.
To cut a long story short the same discomfort in my lower abdomen just above the pubic bone and mainly to the right (but sometimes across in a band right acros form lower hip to hip), discomfort in my balls again.(don't worry ,I had a good mate die of testicular cancer who could have been saved if he had just gone to the docs early so I do check these things) and again a bit nauseous.
As I went on I felt as though I was doing something damage. As it happened I had found myself running with a Durham fell runner and he asked me to describe exactly what I was feeling.
Amazingly he said, I think you *MAY* have what's called a pre hernia or sports hernia that he had had a couple of years ago.. It's a fairly vague term that isn't easily defined and you'll get a lot of conflicting info on it (heck how right was he ! ). He went on to say, he was lucky and rest and rehab had sorted him out but others are not so lucky. I'd never heard of this. That settled, I did have a problem and pulled out at 15 and got a ride home. (Which was a pity as it was a lovely route).
Hard to give up something like this. I had entered to make me cross train after all the foot problems and apart from really excited by all the newness of it, it cost £250-00! (And it's the cheapest in the country – not cheap these things) . but if can't run 16 miles and really have no idea how the 3.8 k swim , 6-7-8 hours on a bike will effect it never mind the marathon , I had no option. My 2nd A race down the pan!
So lots of googling and heck vague isn't the word. Pre hernia, sports hernia or Gilmores groin and none of them are a hernia or even a Hyena! (which is good). Went to the docs and who agreed that's what it is. New Younger Doc btw who is much better than the old one, not that I go there often.
Yes I know I shouldn't have but I do love this race. Went straight from the doc's ……. The word vague has cropped up a lot here and even when I've been reading the net stuff it's one of the things that comes up – hard to pinpoint or the pain or problem. Thought I do this 6 mile and see what it felt like again -ever hopeful it's miraculously cleared up. Not to be- struggled big time and even worse I had to ease right up on the downhill (which is where I usually do well) and did a face dive in a bog that seemed to jolt it. Got the same queasiness and balls and abdomen problems. Two years ago , still not fit I did 58:30. Not sure what it was this year but way over the hour. Still a fine race this one, and believe it or not I won a prize…... In the pub after every finisher is called out in order and get wine or beer. I think there were 125 runners! (It's a fiver to enter btw)
So ..
Been in contact with the sports Fizz (who is a good runner and Triathlete in the same clubs as me) and going to see him next week but early exchanges reckon some specialised abs strengthening stuff will help. Apart from that from what I can see it's all rather vague. It seems some folk will be out for a long time with this and possibly need surgery and some get away with 6 weeks not running.
Obviously I hope I'm in the later category but Lakeland 100 (27th July ) my 3rd A race has to look doubtful now and my UTMB points. Lakeland isn't really a race you can nurse an injury around.
Never mind, we'll see how the next few weeks go and I'll do my 9 mile trail loop a few days before Lakeland and make a final decision but as I said it's doubtful.
Mind I'm still positive. Shite happens as they say and looking around there are some folk who would love this to be their only problem.I intend to come out of this fitter and stronger.

Ann Coombs, Crossed the Bar.Published on Tuesday, 01 March 2016 14:40 Hits: 1541
Category: Crossed the Bar
It is with so much sadness that I report that Ann Combs, member number 0128 from the Solent Branch has, after a short illness, crossed the bar.
Ann's daughter Lynn Saunders writes:-
I regret to inform you of the death of my mother, Ann Coombs on 16th February. Both my parents would tell me about the various functions they attended and enjoyed the time they spent with the RFA retirement section. They were extremely proud to represent the Association at one of HM Queen Elizabeth's annual garden party. However as my Dad's Alzheimers progressed attending functions became harder and when Mum was also taken ill in 2014 they were no longer able to attend.
Mum had been in hospital for 5 months last year and on discharge found she could not live on her own so went to Heathmount Care Home on the same complex as Dad. This allowed them to see each other whenever possible. Unfortunately this year Mum developed Jaundice and was readmitted to hospital where they discovered she had cancer and it had progressed too far for treatment. She died 2 weeks later. Her funeral will be held at the Wessex Vale Crematorium (HERE for the website and HERE for a map) on Monday 7th March 2016 at 11.30. All are welcome. We have chosen not to have flowers but donations are welcome to The Alzheimers Society c/o The Co-Operative funeral care service, 3 Lower Mead, Hillbrow Road, Liss, GU33 7RL (HERE for the website and HERE for a map) or by the following Justgiving page http://www.justgiving.com/Ann-Coombs

My operation is this Friday, to only be told today it won't be no endo specialist off the list, someone from their fertility clinic but does excision. I have no idea what to do I've waited best part of the year to get to this after 2 failed laparoscopies previously. I really thought going about it the way I did would of ensured it much more xx

Apparently I had a birthday recently, and apparently it was for a number that scares some people – I just saw it as another day and maybe a different box to tick on a form.
The birthday itself went off like any other day, came home, opened a couple of cards and a couple of presents from my Wife – some hot sauce, some Edinburgh rock and a mini drone! Followed by a meal in Table Table.
This weekend we went out with the parents and had a huge lunch at the Lamb and Flag in Wick (near Bridgend/Cowbridge).
As you've probably read before (and noticed via my instagram), I like food and appreciate good food and we had lots of this today!
Starters for me was a Ham Hock scotch egg with curried parsnip puree and Serrano ham, so good and is making me determined to perfect my own scotch eggs!
This was a perfect starter, just the right amount of food, not too much like starters in other places and the taste was out of this world. The ham hock worked, coupled with the runny yolk and the puree made for a happy Shrek!
Main course was a Day boat fish and triple cooked chips, today the fish was haddock. 2 large pieces of battered haddock, both with crispy batter that was light and crunchy and the fish melted in your mouth, plus no bones (I always seem to get fish with bones when I eat out!).
Triple cooked chips, well you can't go wrong with triple cooked chips, crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
I'm not a big dessert person, plus when I've had a starter and a main I don't want to stuff myself with a dessert just for the sake of having one, but my Wife didn't really have a starter so she was more than happy to sample the dessert menu!
She opted for Orange & Hazelnut Pannacotta with Orange sorbet, toasted hazelnuts and meringue pieces.
It's not a huge pub, it's cosy, very friendly, great atmosphere and good food plus an open fire which considering the bitterly cold wind today was nice.
A happy and full Shrek today! (albeit with a stupid amount of knee pain!)
Of course the pub is very old, it's not built for Shrek like figures such as myself so I had to duck! The doorway was shoulder height for me!
*This is a rare picture of me!

I started really learning how to cook during the last time I was unemployed, so at least I'd have dinner ready for my wife when she came home from a long day at work as a high school teacher. I figured it was the least I could do after spending about 30 minutes scanning the job boards in the morning and then spending the rest of the day surfing, biking or lounging in the hammock with a good book.
It was intimidating at first, especially since we tend to like Indian, Thai and similarly complex cuisines. I'll be honest -- some of the early experiments just sucked. But with patience (that's your best friend in many corners of life, but especially cooking), a nice variety of cook books and fresh, quality ingredients, I started to turn a corner.
After discovering Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything, though, the kitchen really started to get worked over. If you have one cookbook in your home kitchen, it should be that or Bittman's exhaustive How to Cook Everything Vegetarian. I plan on referring to both of those books often, and will simply abbreviate in reference: HTCE, HTCEV or just Bittman.
You'll see both successes and failures, gourmet and super-simple, while adhering to a vegetarian ingredient list (some vegan, but not strictly so -- I love butter and cheese, and we'll be getting eggs from our four hens once they're old enough, in October). What you won't find are processed foods, microwave directions or anything that takes the dignity or heartiness out of food. I think my ideas of food and good eating are very similar in scope to those expressed by Michael Pollan's important In Defense of Food.
And being a recession and all (we're tightening the belt ourselves), I'll try to highlight ways to save money without sacrificing the pleasure of a good meal. But it's important to point out that saving money sometimes costs more time -- so that's an important consideration (if you're unemployed, you have time, but it's also about kitchen management and efficient prep).
This evening we had a traditional Chinese-style fried rice, with Napa cabbage, green beans, green peppers and eggs. Now it's time to read some bedtime stories. Please come back and see me again soon.

This 17th Century play goes hand in hand with The Man of Mode, which I reviewed here the other week. Again, this play forms a part of the Restoration drama canon, and as such has many of the common features of it. Very bawdy (to say the least), this play questions relationships and hierarchies between men and women.
Horner (aptly named) creates a rumour at the beginning of the play that through some kind of venereal disease he has become impotent. This allows him to get away with far more licentious behaviour with men's wives than would otherwise be allowed. Alongside this plot, the audience follow the lives of many other characters. There is the not-so-witty Mr Sparkish, due to marry Alithea; Pinchwife, whose decision to shut his wife up from the contagion of London morals doesn't quite go to plan, and more.
As with The Man of Mode, many questions about gender roles and sexuality are raised in this play. The most potent of these (get the pun?) is the idea that as long as a man is impotent one's wife is safe with him. This largely dwells from the lack of contraception during this period - a man needed to make sure his heir was in fact his, so his wife had to remain untainted by any other man with the potential to produce offspring. I found it incredibly interesting that this was the key reason for keeping a woman faithful, rather than the spread of venereal disease or the idea of husbandly possessiveness (as is very prevalent in later literature).

Shares in organic dairy company WhiteWave Foods (WWAV) soared by 18.5 percent on July 7 upon news of an impending buyout. Danone, the French conglomerate, announced their planned acquisition of the Denver-based company for $10 billion in cash. That's good news for WhiteWave, a company that spun off from its parent company just several years ago.
There's an ongoing debate on Wall Street about the value of spinoffs and whether they're more hype than substance. One argument is that the individual parts of a company are worth more than the sum, while others think precisely the opposite. Activist investors regularly push companies to spin off their different divisions in the hopes of generating value for investors.
Some companies are often hesitant to do this, as they prefer to be diversified in the case of business troubles. The consistently "blue chip" Johnson and Johnson (JNJ) falls into that category. General Electric (GE), on the other hand, spun off its financial services unit in 2015 in order to focus on its core businesses.
Regardless of how one feels about spinoffs in general, there's no denying that the WhiteWave spinoff from parent Dean Foods (DF) was a wise move. Dean Foods has declined 6 percent in the same period, but now offers a modest dividend with a 1.9 percent yield. There's no doubt that Dean Foods' longtime investors were big winners in the spinoff.
A Risky Endeavor
Spinoffs are never a guaranteed success. While they seem to generate value in the short term, financial gains happen less often than you might think. A study conducted by accounting firm Deloitte and consulting group The Edge looked at 385 global spinoffs that happened between 2000 and 2014. What they found was that 38 percent of the spinoffs lost value in the first year of trading.
The report, which came out in 2014, came at a time when both activist investors and companies were interested in spinoffs. eBay spun off its PayPal division (which they actually acquired a decade earlier), while Hewlett-Packard split into two in the hopes of reviving its ailing businesses.
Today, the appeal of spinoffs is higher than ever. By one measure, 49 percent of publicly traded companies surveyed said they're planning on performing a spinoff within the next two years. While most of those plans may never come to fruition, it goes to show the popularity of the spinoff trend.
Why WhiteWave Worked
WhiteWave Foods didn't fall into the category of low-performing spinoffs. Instead, the company enjoyed massive 51 percent gains in the first year.
But then, the idea of Dean Foods spinning off its organic division was always appealing. Dairy is a difficult business that's at the mercy of fluctuating prices. Dean Foods' larger business was struggling greatly, but WhiteWave Foods, with its higher margins, fared much better when milk prices were low.
Existing shareholders were given shares in the new company, while the deal helped Dean Foods earn $589 million from the transaction. Dean Foods is undoubtedly a weaker company without WhiteWave Foods, but the spinoff was worthwhile to both management and investors.
What's Next?
The enormous value that WhiteWave generated for its investors makes their spinoff a model for other companies to follow. The steep rise in share price, even before the announced acquisition, was impressive. The acquisition made the spinoff even more successful.
Yet, as high as the share prices now are, not all investors are happy with the acquisition. Some say that Danone is seriously underpaying for WhiteWave Foods and that the company should hold out for a better offer. But even if a better offer doesn't come along, WhiteWave shows just how lucrative a spinoff can be to long-time investors.

With the launch of the new Continental GT Supersports, Breitling for Bentley has unveiled a new watch for collectors with the same name: the Breitling Supersports B55.
Breitling says they were inspired by the Supersports optional titanium exhaust when they selected the material for the new watch's case. That may be a bit of marketing speak but the light weight of titanium does helps the large, 46mm watch stay on top of your wrist.
For the first time, a Breitling for Bentley timepiece has been equipped with a quartz movement. It's a bit of a surprise but it seems the watch's designers wanted to utilize a rally keeping function that wasn't available mechanically. This also gives the watch the ability to talk to your smartphone for downloading data.
In addition to hours and minutes, the watch has a 1/100th of second chronograph and "chrono rally", "regularity rally", "chrono race" functions. If you've entered your Bentley in a road rally, you can time up to 30 stages with the "chrono rally" function. If you're on the race track, though unlikely, you can use "chrono race" to record split times for your laps.
Moving to the dial, Breitling has chosen carbon fiber for the material to frame dual LCD displays. The displays show information from the watch's special functions and can be illuminated by pressing the watch's crown or by tilting the wrist.
Production for the Supersports B55 is limited to 500 pieces.
Manufacture Breitling Calibre B55, officially chronometer-certified by the COSC. Thermocompensated SuperQuartz™, analogue and digital 12/24-hour LC backlit display. 1/100th of a second chronograph, UTC, "chrono rally", "regularity rally", "chrono race" functions, lap timer, electronic tachymeter, countdown, 2nd timezone, 7 daily alarms, perpetual calendar with week display, battery-charge indicator.
Titanium (500-piece limited series). Water-resistant to 100 m. Sapphire crystal, glareproofed on both sides. Diameter: 46 mm.
TwinPro, A double-layer red-edged and lined black rubber strap completes the look.

So last time we revealed the problems we encountered with this year's crop of seedlings — that's to say, they just weren't making it. While things initially looked like they got off to a rip-roaring start, all was not well, and the bulk the seedlings that had come up were dying. So this past weekend, we decided to start over, in a sense, despite it being late in the seedling, um…season. This involved saving the seedlings that were doing okay and replanting the trays.
After reviewing the trays, we counted a few dozen seedlings — mostly tomato seedlings — that looked okay to move out of the trays. They still had leaves and weren't too wilted. Then we made a trip to our favorite dollar store to pick up about a million…or maybe just 50 little terra cotta pots. (In the past we used dixie cups to hold seedlings that were too young to put outside but too big for the seed trays. This year we decided to go with something more reusable, hence, the terra cotta pots.) And we also got a few plastic trays to hold the pots. We already had plenty of coir/seed starting mix, as well as a stash of soil, so we we're ready to go with our dollar store haul.
Back at the abode, we divvied out the pots onto the plastic trays and set about labeling them, filling them each with a bit of fresh soil, and moving the "good" seedlings to their new homes. Once that was done, we fully replanted most of trays according to our trays maps. We had to make a few adjustments, as in some cases, such as with the tomatillos and the special Planet Hybrid peppers, we didn't have any more seeds. In their places we planted more tomatoes and arugula.
So here we are, keeping close watch on the transplanted seedlings and waiting to see what comes of the newly-planted seeds. We're back on track with watering and aren't using the mylar "blankets" to keep things overly warm. Instead, we 're just going to hope for the best. Frankly, in a couple of weeks we'll be able to start planting seeds of lettuces, other greens, and peas outdoors. And shortly after that, it'll be time to plants beans, cucumbers, squash, and transplanting any tomatoes and peppers. So whatever makes it indoors, makes it, and we'll be grateful enough for that. 🙂

Welcome to my blog!
On July 18th I leave for a six (and a half) month trip around the world.
My first stop is in England, I'll be staying at the Buddhist monastery Amaravati for 3 weeks. Afterwards I will make my way through London, the rest of England, and Scotland, and onwards to Thailand, Australia, and New Zealand. I plan to keep this blog updated as often as I can manage. Though due to not being able to use phones in monasteries, as well as some national parks, there will be times where I will be off the grid for up to three weeks at a time.
The idea for the trip started out in late 2016 when I was contemplating the idea of becoming Buddhist monk. My idea was to visit various different monasteries, stay at them for long periods and get a sense of what it would be like to live that life style. Through that I hoped to gain a sense of whether or not I would like to become a monk, and if so, where I might want to do it.
At this point I haven't had a serious thought about becoming a monk in several months. But as a serious Buddhist I'm looking forward to experiencing the supportive environment that is conducive to a strong Buddhist practice. Additionally there is always the possibility that I will end up changing my mind and become a Buddhist monk, who knows?
In addition to visiting monasteries, I plan to do a lot of hiking in national parks, I'll be staying in many cities including London, Bangkok, and Melbourne, meeting new people and more! I'm also hoping to visit the great barrier reef. Visit Itinerary for a more detailed layout of my current trip plan.
This blog will probably be a mix of sharing my experience on the Buddhist path, pictures of my hikes and the cities I'm visiting. As well as any other stories I think are interesting.

Rockingham House was the home of John Berrien I (1712–1772) and George Washington's final headquarters of the Revolutionary War, located in the Rockingham section of Franklin Township in Somerset County, New Jersey, United States.[2] The house has been moved within southern Franklin Township several times, and is now closer to the Franklin portion of Kingston than to Rocky Hill. The residence is a featured part of the Millstone River Valley Scenic Byway. The oldest portion of the house was built as a two-room, two-story saltbox style house between 1702 and 1710; a kitchen and additional rooms were added on in the early 1760s, expanding with the Berrien family.[2] The first reference to the house as "Rockingham" does not appear until a 1783 newspaper advertisement to sell the house, a name given most likely in honor of the Marquess of Rockingham.
John Berrien[edit]
John Berrien I was a surveyor and land agent from Long Island whose business brought him into the Millstone River valley in the 1730s. In 1735, he purchased the small house that overlooked the river. Berrien eventually became a judge, first in Somerset County before eventually being named to the Supreme Court of New Jersey. His first wife, Mary Leonard of Perth Amboy died in 1758 without bearing children; the next year, he married Margaret Eaton, whose father founded Eatontown, New Jersey. Together John and Margaret had six children, four boys and two girls. John Berrien drowned in the Millstone River in 1772, leaving his estate in the hands of his wife. He is buried in Princeton Cemetery.
George Washington[edit]
General George Washington stayed at Rockingham from August 23, 1783 to November 10, 1783. He was invited to the area by Congress, who were headquartered in Nassau Hall in Princeton while awaiting the news of the signing of the Treaty of Paris to officially end the Revolutionary War. Washington was accompanied by three aides-de-camp, a troop of between twelve and twenty-four life guards, his servants and, until early October, his wife Martha Washington. He spent his time at Rockingham entertaining Congress and other local figures until word of the end of the War reached him on October 31. Washington composed his Farewell Orders to the Armies of the United States at Rockingham, a document dismissing his troops and announcing his retirement from the Army.
House sold[edit]
In 1802, Margaret Berrien sold the house to Frederick Cruser, who continued the expansion of the house. Storage space and servants sleeping quarters were added to the kitchen wing, a second-story balcony added to the front of the house, and the roofline raised to accommodate a third-story attic. The Cruser family occupied Rockingham until 1841. The house changed hands many times until the 1890s when the property was bought by the Rocky Hill Quarry Company.
1897 move[edit]
The first move of the house was in 1897 to remove it from the Rocky Hill Quarry Company property in Rocky Hill. Kate McFarlane and Josephine Swann helped create the Washington Headquarters Association of Rocky Hill, which raised the money to purchase the structure and move it away from the quarry. In August 1897, the house was opened to the public. In 1935, ownership was turned over to the state of New Jersey.
1956 move[edit]
By 1956, the quarry had expanded and the house again was too close to active quarrying. Rockingham was moved a half mile eastward along County Route 518.
2001 move[edit]
The house made its final move in 2001. It now sits on a 27-acre (110,000 m2) lot on Kingston-Rocky Hill Road, adjacent to the Delaware and Raritan Canal, on the outskirts of Kingston. The site reopened to the public in 2004 and is open year-round.
