"A well-rounded portrait of an athletic giant. Recommended for libraries where baseball is popular."
School Library Journal
"Well researched and illustrated with archival photos, this biography tells a straightforward story with clarity and plenty of human interest, while providing related information in sidebars. Fans will enjoy learning why Major League Baseball's annual pitching awards honor Young as well as such matters as how the sport's rules have changed over time. An informative sports biography."
Carolyn Phelan, Booklist
"Young fans of baseball, future pitchers, and the casual reader will be well-served by Scott Longert's portrait of Cy Young, an exceptional individual who has not been given his due in literature written for young people."
Paula Geglein, collection development librarian and juvenile specialist, Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County
"Hits the mark wonderfully. An educational, and entertaining, lesson for grown-up and youngster alike."
Marc Bona, Cleveland.com
Cy Young was one of the hardest-throwing pitchers of all time. He recorded three no-hitters—including a perfect game—and accumulated more than 2,800 strikeouts on his way to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Scott H. Longert uses Young's life story to introduce middle-grade readers to the game, explaining balls, strikes, and outs in an easy-to-understand way. Longert narrates each season and each milestone game with an enthusiastic play-by-play that is sure to draw readers into the excitement on the field and in the crowd, fostering a better understanding of and a passion for baseball.
Baseball fans today know Cy Young's name chiefly through the award given in his honor each year to the best pitcher in the National and the American Leagues. Denton True "Cyclone" Young won more than five hundred games over a career that spanned four decades, a record that no other major league pitcher has come close to matching. In addition to being the winningest pitcher in baseball history, he was also a kind, self-effacing, and generous man. Born into a farm family in rural Ohio, he never lost touch with the small-town values he grew up with.
Scott H. Longert is the author of Addie Joss: King of the Pitchers, The Best They Could Be: How the Cleveland Indians Became the Kings of Baseball, 1916–1920, and No Money, No Beer, No Pennants: The Cleveland Indians and Baseball in the Great Depression. He lives in Beachwood, Ohio, with his wife, Vicki, their handsome golden retriever, and two cool cats. More info →

Kammie on First
Baseball's Dottie Kamenshek
By Michelle Houts
Dorothy Mary Kamenshek was born to immigrant parents in Norwood, Ohio. As a young girl, she played pickup games of sandlot baseball with neighborhood children; no one, however, would have suspected that at the age of seventeen she would become a star athlete at the national level. The outbreak of World War II and the ensuing draft of able-bodied young men severely depleted the ranks of professional baseball players.

So, how does it start? This being conformed to the world, letting Satan's influences in, turning away from God… I believe it is subtle. It starts small and before we know it we spend 2 hours during the day on Facebook, another 2 hours at night watching TV and we suddenly can't function without our music (which may or may not have been strongly influenced by Satan). And we have 'no time' for bible study or prayer. The reality is that we are called to light and are to have NO PART in darkness. 'Let not your heart turn aside to her ways; do not stray; into her paths.' (Prov. 7:25) It begins with 'straying.' Where are you straying? In what areas are you dabbling in sin? Are you compromising with what music you listen to? Does a favorite artist have just one song that is overtly sinful but you try to ignore that and continue listening anyways? By contrast we are called to do what is listed here: 'My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe my ways.' (Prov. 23:26) Have we truly given our heart to God? Are our eyes focused on Him and His ways?
'I will not look with approval on anything;that is vile. I hate what faithless people do; I will have no part in it.' (Psa. 101:3) That scripture cut me to the heart. How many things do I see every day that would fall into this category? Satan is doing a great work and it is all around us. This also made me ask myself, do I really 'hate' sin? David says in that Psalm that he hates what faithless people do and that he will have NO part in it! (Note that he didn't say he hated the people… he hated their sin and so should we.) There is nothing unloving about hating sin- remember that because this world will try to convince you otherwise! Are you taking any part in sin? If so, rid your life of it now and remember this command: 'Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.' (Col. 3:5) We must put to death those sinful things and we should not be watching movies or listening to music that promotes any of these things. They are ungodly and will be put to death upon the return of Jesus Christ. And by the way, if you are aware of the fact that a music artist is ungodly and you choose to continue to listen to it this is a form of idolatry. Nothing should be so important that we place it above God. Guilty? Me too.
When Alex & I first started throwing things away it got real. I can remember saying, "Man we're throwing away a lot of money here.' And then we remembered this: 'Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ.' (Phil. 3:8) Perspective. Then it didn't seem like a loss. It turned from mourning the loss of old loves to an urgent frenzy to remove any ungodliness from our home. (And a fervent burning desire to keep it out!) It's amazing how God works with us! Remember: obedience first, emotions follow.

Acupuncture Information
What Is Chronic Inflammation And How To Fight It Naturally
~by Dr. Greg Steiner
Inflammation isn't always a "bad" thing. In fact, inflammation is what helps us to heal. When the body has an injury, (ie. cut, bruise, infection, etc…) inflammation is the body's first response. This process includes redness, swelling, heat, fluid increase to the injured area and altered function. The intent is to repair, but sometimes it creates pain. This is called acute inflammation and its temporary and short term. The other type of inflammation is chronic and ongoing. Bad inflammation happens when the body thinks it has a danger when it really doesn't. It keeps releasing its own inflammatory compounds where the body starts attacking itself mistaking areas like joints or intestines as an invader (think autoimmune disease, asthma, ibs, arthritis).
We often think of inflammation as a physical injury but it's been found that putting the wrong kinds of food into our bodies can trigger it as well. Terms we hear often today like "leaky gut", "gluten sensitivity", "brain fog" and even the ability to lose weight could possibly be linked to chronic, low-grade inflammation. With that said, one of the best ways to fight off inflammation is by changing our diet. The biggest culprit that triggers inflammation is sugar. This includes desserts, pastries, sodas, coffee drinks and even fruit juices. Sugar goes by many names so look on ingredient labels for any word ending in "ose", like fructose or sucrose and stay away from them. Even artificial sweeteners like aspartame may trigger an inflammatory response. Opt for a natural sweetener like stevia which doesn't spike insulin levels, is low in calories yet gives the sweet taste desired. I've seen patients with chronic headaches have a relief in symptoms by simply reducing sugars (especially artificial sugars) in their diets.
Many of my patients have noticed positive results in their health by opting to follow an elimination diet where they exclude certain foods to determine if perhaps they were the reason for their malaise. Not everyone has negative results when they eat certain foods but they might feel improved symptoms by removing some known triggers. Besides sugar, these triggers include:
- Peanuts
- Alcohol
- Dairy-frozen, yogurt, ice cream, butter
- Gluten-wheat, rye, and barley products
- Refined carbs-white bread, white rice, potatoes and pasta
- Trans and Saturated fats-found in fast and fried foods, cookies, donuts and even crackers
- Processed meats-bacon, lunch meat, hot dogs
- Artificial chemicals-food additives, coloring, and preservatives
- High Sodium products-often found in canned soups & frozen meals
So with a long list of foods we should stay away from, what can we eat that are actually good for us? These include green leafy veggies like spinach, celery, broccoli, bok choy, and kale. Other anti-inflammatory foods include beets, berries, pineapple, along with wild caught (not farmed) salmon, bone broth, chia & flax seeds, coconut oil and spices including turmeric and ginger.
Remember, inflammation isn't always a "bad" thing. It's excess and continual inflammation that prevents us from staying healthy. Fortunately, we can fight it naturally by eating the right foods for our body, incorporating exercise and also reducing & managing stress in our daily lives.

The Mind & Body Connection To Stress & How To Manage It
~by Dr. Greg Steiner
Everyone encounters stress; it's just a part of daily life. Some have more than others but understanding how it impacts us physically and emotionally and building resilience and knowledge of how to combat it are keys to a healthier and happier existence. Our mind and body are connected in that our minds control our thoughts and how we think affects how we feel. Ever see someone who's angry? Usually their body is tense, with an aggressive type of posture. Someone who is sad or depressed usually exhibits a slumping posture with shoulders rolled forward and chin downward.
Stress affects the body by influencing hormones. If a tense situation occurs, hormones are released controlling heart rate, adrenaline, and breathing and getting the body ready for "flight or fight". The release of these hormones can result in a wide range of reactions to stress such as a decrease in testosterone (which decreases the ability to build or keep muscle) or increase in cortisol (which is often seen as fat around the midsection). It can also cause fatigue, loss of appetite, pains in the body including headaches, lowered immune system, stomach problems, insomnia, and muscle tension.
Stress also affects our mind by causing us anxiety, restlessness, lack of emotion, inability to focus, anger, sadness and depression. These type thoughts influence behavior and can lead to over/under eating, drug or alcohol use and social withdrawal.
Fortunately, stress can be controlled! We can decide to think in a way that will yield a positive outcome. When you start to get control over something, no matter how small, you have a foundation of success to build upon. When you adopt an optimistic attitude, organize yourself and tasks and work towards some type of end goal, you are able to get a handle over stress. Some additional ways to manage stress include:
- Get good, non-interrupted sleep
- Exercise-running, weight training, any physical activity that makes you feel good
- Find a support system- getting help from others, talking to a friend or loved one
- Nutrition-eat foods with omega oils, include greens and nuts. Stay away from refined flours and sugars
- Relaxation-yoga, meditation, deep breathing
- Find a Hobby
- Use a Planner-prioritize and make check lists
- Listen to music
- Play with a pet
- Acupuncture
Changing our mindset can do wonders on combating the effects of stress on ourselves. Instead of thinking of stress as a threat, view it as a challenge. Instead of pressure, see it as an opportunity. Instead of it being debilitating, see it as energizing. All in all, by focusing on possibilities instead of problems, we change how we see things and can change our life for the better.

Pre & Post Surgery Prep for a Quicker Recovery
~By Dr. Gregory Steiner, DC, MPhil
After over 25 years as a Natural Health Practitioner, I've come across a multitude of patients who used Chiropractic and Acupuncture therapies to either forgo their surgery or to prepare for an upcoming procedure. I've also utilized these therapies on myself pre and post for knee surgery due to years and years of martial arts, over exercising, improper techniques, poor diet and ignorance in my youth. Surgery was performed to re-implant my own cartilage back into my kneecaps. I created a protocol for the first surgery and then tweaked it two years later for the second surgery. The results of preparation pre and post were incredible and I've been able to share this protocol with my patients for their own rehabilitation success.
First and foremost is the concentration on nutrition. My patients and myself included, have used proteolytic enzyme supplements to prepare the body and help reduce inflammation. These enzymes are designed to speed up the chemical reactions in your body and speed up your own repair process. You should also focus on a more anti-inflammatory diet and consume foods like green leafy vegetables, walnuts, avocados, and herbs like garlic and ginger, and especially turmeric. Stay away from sugars, white flours, and fast foods while also reducing dairy products pre and post-surgery. I also liked to sip on branch chain amino acids pre and post.
Prehab also includes exercise. Whether it be plyometrics or weight lifting, the goal is to activate the nervous system and get it charged up. Anesthesia from surgery affects this, they create "nerve blocks" and it can take a while before they start firing up again. It's not just about lifting a bunch of heavy weights but using them in a controlled manner to activate the nerves as well and fire them up.
Acupuncture combined with electrical stimulation can also help. I've used general points to boost energy and decrease stress and specific master points to help reduce inflammation and increase circulation to affected areas. Chiropractic is very good especially if the upcoming surgery is joint related. The goal here is to get the joint in the best alignment as possible prior to procedure.
Getting the mind and body ready for surgery and preparing yourself "pre-hab" and "rehab" can result in quicker and less painful recovery helping get you back to doing what you love to do in the shortest time possible.Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )
Headache from the Neck? Dealing with the "Cervicogenic Headache"
Almost everyone has had a "headache" but did you know there are at least 150 different types of headaches? There are vascular, condition specific, tension, cluster, migraine, environmental, disease related and the list goes on. One of the most prevalent headaches I see at the clinic is that which is called the "Cervicogenic Headache". It's classified as a secondary headache which means that its caused by another issue other than directly in the head. Pain is perceived as occurring in a part of the body other than its true source, a type of "referred pain". Simply put, perceived in the head from a source in the neck.
By identifying the type of headache, corrective measures can then be taken but it's not always easy to determine the headaches because many symptoms and patterns are similar. Cervicogenic headaches often feel as painful as a migraine and typically pain is located on one side of the head. The pain seems to start at the back and wrap itself up and over the top to the side of the head. Cervicogenic means that it's coming from the neck, though neck pain may not be felt. There are structures right at the base of the skull where it attaches to the spine along which arteries and nerves run. If they get irritated or compressed, it can be problematic. If you push at the base of the skull, it's extremely tender, even light pressure above the nerve can hurt too.
For these types of headaches, a chiropractic adjustment can help dissipate that pain. What happens here is that proper motion and relationship is being restored within the structures. Abnormal tensions are reduced, pressure is lessened, muscles start to relax, and blood vessels return to normal flow and things start to heal in fairly short order.
Patients who are prone to neck and shoulder pain may experience these types of headaches more so than others. It can be aggravated by sitting at computers or excessive cell phone use, especially with forward head posture because there is so much tension on the back of the neck. If the head is dropped forward, the muscles then try to pull backwards, creating a kind of tug of war. When the neck is out of alignment for long periods, chronic headaches can develop. One of my top recommendations that you can practice at home and at any time is having good posture. When you correct your posture, you take tension off the neck. This can substantially reduce the occurrence of headaches.
Another recommendation is acupuncture. It can relax the muscles and also provide extra effects on the top of the head right in the muscular tension itself. There are specific acupuncture points we use that directly target headaches. While chiropractic can work at the source of the headache, acupuncture can work directly on the source itself. The good news is that there are natural therapies that can be used to help these headaches instead of ongoing dependence of medication.Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )
Stopping Neck & Shoulder Pain
By Dr. Greg Steiner
CA Acupuncture & Chiropractic
Neck and shoulder pain come in many shapes and forms. There's the sharp & stabbing type, sometimes coming from an arthritic joint or perhaps from something as simple as bending it in the wrong direction. Sometimes it feels like it's a grinding sort of pain and other times it feels heavy and stiff. Whether the neck pain is a muscular or pinched nerve type, it usually doesn't originate just in the neck but the uppermost part of the back, where a lot of muscles are activated and connect. In order to be thorough and correct the problem, all these areas need to be addressed and assessed.
Oftentimes, headaches are caused by neck & shoulder issues. If the muscles in the front of the neck are spasming, it can create a headache on the side of the head. Tight trapezius and shoulder girdle areas can refer pain up the back of the head, and at the base of the skull, the deeper layer or muscles, when contracted or spasming can irritate blood vessels or nerves and produce "migraine" symptoms.
The feeling of an electrical shock or jolt running down the arm may indicate a nerve compression of some sort while a tightness or achy pain could result from a muscle strain from training at the gym.
The type of pain itself can often help identify the problem and therapies to be used for pain relief. Ice packs are great to help reduce sharp pain while a stiff pain can be helped with ice and then heat. The most effective therapy I have found is a combination of both chiropractic and acupuncture. The chiropractic adjustment can help relieve muscle tension and restore some motion on just the first visit. Subsequent visits keep increasing that range of motion, resulting in pain relief and longer term can restore proper alignment. Add in the use of electrical stimulation and infrared heat and spasms and tightness can be also be reduced. Acupuncture can also give a pretty satisfying analgesic effect by helping reduce muscle tension and inflammation.
One thing that can help reduce and prevent neck & shoulder pain is to focus on mobility and correct posture. Gentle stretching and proper movement can keep the areas flexible and lubricated. If you sit at the computer all day with your head leaning forward and hardly move, the strained position will eventually destroy the curve of the neck. Inflammation also occurs, and nothing seems to fit in the right place. The ligaments are no longer in the correct position and the front muscles start to shrink (because they are always contracted) while the back of the neck muscles are over stretched and weakened. A great deal of this can be remedied by taking breaks to gently stretch the neck & shoulders, having the computer monitor & chair at the right height, as well as sitting tall and upright with the head in alignment with the shoulders. The earlier you catch & remedy the problem, the faster you'll see relief and following these simple suggestions can help deter that pain from the start.Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )
The Concussion & Whiplash Connection
By Dr. Greg Steiner
CA Acupuncture & Chiropractic Clinic
Head injuries can happen in a variety of ways and are more prevalent in activities that involve a lot of physical movement. Playing an aggressive sport like football, soccer, wrestling, or any such type; one is bound to get knocked or bounced around a bit. Following a hard hit to the head is a possible concussion. A person can bounce back normally from a low-grade concussion but there are warning signs to look for and keep in mind:
Nausea and vomiting
Blurred vision
Lethargic and slow to move
Unable to concentrate or remember
Balancing or coordination problems
Slurred speech
Ringing in the ears
With these symptoms there is some varying degree of concussion experienced and should be looked over by a physician to be on the safe side. Simply put, the impact on the head causes the brain to bang against the inside of the skull and create swelling or trauma. The extra pressure can lead to cognitive impairment and some of the symptoms seen. Something else that is often overlooked is the neck trauma. If a person gets concussed, they often get whiplashed. Sometimes with a hit, the head snaps which jerks the neck back and forth. Maybe there's a fall, so there could be a twist in there too. So, the secondary damage is what happens within the neck area.
Recently I had a patient who took quite a hard fall and had symptoms of a grade 1 concussion but also had a quite painful neck afterwards. Often the neck or back issue isn't felt until after the concussion settles down. Even if the concussion problem heals, there can still be a problem in the neck which could last for several days or even months. With whiplash, such as in an auto accident, if the person is young and healthy, there could be damage up to a point but if you deal with a slightly older individual, who has an arthritic neck and their joints don't fit or align properly, their tissues and muscles are less elastic and they are likely to be damaged far more seriously.
Chiropractic care and acupuncture can be very helpful. It is important to gently work and mobilize the neck and examine for proper function and proper movement very carefully. The upper back should also be checked because a certain amount of neck pain often originates from the upper back. All the muscles and tissues are connected to one another so we work with the upper back to make sure the spine, joints, and muscles are working properly because they are the base that the neck sits upon. The acupuncture can help with relaxation of the injured muscles helping reduce inflammation and being able to help with decreasing pain as well.
Accidents happen, it's a part of life, but getting the proper treatment and care is an important step which shouldn't be missed.Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )
Thinking About Acupuncture, Don't Fear the Needle
~by Dr. Gregory Steiner
Many of us have heard about the benefits of natural healing, the thought of not being dependent on medications, the ability for the body to function optimally based upon proper diet and exercise, and holistic therapies that can heal us of afflictions. Eastern medicine has educated us on the benefits of massage, herbal and aromatherapy, and even acupuncture. Unfortunately, many of us are reluctant to seek acupuncture treatment because we have a fear, a fear of the unknown and a fear of needles. But what does the "typical" thought of needle conjure in the mind? Maybe we were traumatized when we received immunization shots as a child, anesthesia shots for fillings, or some other type of injection leaving our brains to associate needles with pain and uncomfortable situations. Luckily, acupuncture performed correctly by a trained professional causes virtually no pain!
I'm afraid of needles, does acupuncture hurt?
Rest assured that acupuncture needles are in no way similar to hypodermic needles. First of all, a medical hypodermic needle has a hollow point and sharp edge and must "break" the skin to either insert or withdraw fluid. Acupuncture needles are solid, round-point thin and wire-like and are sterilized and disposable. With their small size, they are more comparable to a strand of hair. They are hardly like needles at all. The depth the needle goes is so shallow that it doesn't even draw blood. A helpful comparison is that between 20 and 40 acupuncture needles can actually fit inside the hollow shaft point of a hypodermic needle (depending on size). These needles are so small and thin that some of them can actually be passed through a balloon without popping it!
What does it feel like?
Many patients describe the feeling of the needle as either a tingling or pulsating sensation, or a dull ache which soon passes, or not feeling anything at all being inserted. It only takes a second for the doctors to insert the needle and when working with an experienced practitioner, should relatively be painless. If by chance, there is discomfort, the needle can be quickly removed and repositioned. Pain isn't something that should be felt or elicited; in fact, the acupuncture is used to do the opposite and help alleviate pain.
What is it used for?
Acupuncture can help with a variety of issues, including reduction or elimination of pain, whether it be for the back, neck, shoulders or joints to name a few. It can help with headaches, stress & anxiety, and even help balance the body which in turn can positively affect the thyroid, menstruation issues, and hormones. It has also been used to increase energy levels and has been effective in weight loss and allergy symptom relief. The list can go on and on for the benefits that acupuncture can provide.
What is Sciatica and What Can I Do About It?
~by Dr. Greg Steiner
Sciatica is something that strikes terror into the hearts of people who have had it before. It's referred to as a pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which branches from your lower back, through the hips or buttocks down the hamstring and into the leg. Some people have described the pain like a blood pressure cuff contracting around the ankle. They may feel a fire or electricity in the leg or even weird sensations of ants crawling on them, but whatever it is, it's not right and it usually gets worse with sitting. They'll start sitting sideways or in different positions and do anything to get comfortable. Rarely do pain meds even help in this situation. Some folks think that it has to do with circulation, but that's not the case. The simple formula is that numbness + tingling = nerves. If you cross your legs too long and your foot goes to sleep, you've basically cut off some nerve for a time and when it starts to fire again, it hurts for a bit and then it's ok.
There are a couple of different causes for Sciatica. Sometimes it will be a twisted muscle or vertebrae in the back, with muscles pulling this way and that which tugs on the nerve and makes pain go down the leg. Another way is when someone bends and picks something up, the disc between the vertebrae can be squeezed and when it bulges out, it pokes a nerve. If it pokes a nerve, it doesn't hurt where the nerve gets poked, it hurts down the leg.
If left untreated, sciatica can lead to surgery but we prefer a much more conservative approach. We'll go through a checklist to determine exactly where the problem is and we work with it to see if it starts to feel better by using chiropractic, acupuncture and body mechanics modification. Other things that can help relieve sciatica that you can do at home include:
- Specific exercises for pain relief
- Icing –best used when sore or swollen
- Heat – best used when the area feels stiff
- Natural anti-inflammatories/ herbal therapies
- Trigger points for self-massage
One of the best things you can do for Sciatica is prevent it in the first place. The biggest cause of sciatica is actually lifting or handling objects incorrectly. So, be sure to "Think before you lift". Ask yourself, "Am I standing in the correct position?", "Are there any handling aids that can help?" The second biggest cause is sitting down for too long which can decay the spine & disc. When you sit too long, your spine is not moving and flexing thereby prohibiting an adequate supply of nutrients to the area. If you still feel the pain, just be sure to get checked out with a thorough exam to determine exactly what the problem is and how it should be handled specifically to your needs.

Natural Healing for Skin Problems
By Dr. Greg Steiner
CA Acupuncture & Chiropractic Clinic
Usually at some point in our lives, we experience some type of skin malady, be it acne as a teen, eczema, dry scalp, psoriasis or rash. The range of cause is diverse and can include exposure to external irritants (toxins/chemicals often found in soaps, lotions, and shampoos), infestation (ringworm), fungal, nervous system (shingles), allergies and even stress. Many of these external skin conditions are actually representations of an internal disharmony.
The standard medical approach is to treat the inflammation with an anti-inflammatory, but that doesn't always treat the cause of it. Traditional Chinese medicine views it a different way. For example, eczema is seen as an imbalance of body's energy which allows external pathogenic factors to attack causing itch, inflammation, as well as dry and red skin. Chinese medicine treats eczema not by suppressing the immune response but rather correcting the imbalances that are causing the eczema. By correcting or removing these imbalances your body is able to heal on its own.
Acupuncture has been used quite successfully for skin conditions. When the body is out of balance, there is often illness. If the skin problem looks red, this means the patient has heat (inflammation) in the blood. The redder the skin, the more heat in the blood. This gets worse in hot weather. Most cases of eczema involve heat (inflammation) in the blood. If the skin feels dry, this means the condition involves blood deficiency. If the skin blisters or oozes or has pustules, this means that the patient has a condition called "dampness" in Chinese medicine. Once those representations have been identified, the patient is treated accordingly. If the skin conditions are identified as "heat" then acupuncture points would be used to literally "cool off" or counteract the heat and restore the balance. Different points are used to restore and normalize things.
One of the greatest effects an individual can have on their own body is by modification of their diet. Omega oils and essential fatty acids like wild-caught fish and flaxseed oil are extremely beneficial and can reduce eczema and psoriasis symptoms. Refined foods and sugars have been determined to increase inflammation and therefore should be avoided. Those with food intolerances should avoid any potential allergens which could be gluten, dairy, shellfish or peanuts. There are also several Chinese herbs that work well according to the ailment which include Zhi Yang, Rhubarb, and Fen Ci. All in all, the best approach is holistic, which considers the whole body. Food choices, sleep, exposure, and even emotional health all play a role in our health and well-being.Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )
Slowing the Aging Process
~ by Dr. Greg Steiner
Growing old is inevitable, but getting old shouldn't be used as an excuse. For those who say, "I can't do this because I'm getting older", that's an insufficient answer. You don't have to fear aging and let it prohibit you from the things you want to do. There are a number of things that can be done to slow the process or at the least, allow you to age well.
Many processes going on in the body effect how we age. Circulation is one of them. It's similar to having narrow roads, with fewer trucks on the road making deliveries. Circulation is our transport system for our bodie's resources, namely oxygen and nutrition. As we age, we have a less efficient delivery system. Also influenced by age is mobility and elasticity. The gradual need for reading glasses demonstrates a decrease in elasticity in eyes. It's kind of ironic how we age that certain things get saggy while other things stiffen up. Hormones can also get out of whack. Testosterone & estrogen usually become unbalanced and growth hormone, responsible for repair also decreases. Imbalanced thyroid levels and insulin can lead us to suffer from fatigue and other issues. And let's not forget about inflammation. There is inflammation that comes from a recent injury (like breaking a toe), but there's also inflammation from an injury from 10 years ago. Some of this stems from scar tissue forming, which over the years becomes less elastic and reduced circulation in that area. Natural anti-inflammatories in the body work at a slower rate so we feel pain in that particular spot.
But know this, all of those things, at least by some degree are correctable. Stretching for elasticity and mobility is helpful, but won't necessarily solve everything. Due to the computer generation, people these days can barely turn their neck left or right. It's double the problem from what I was seeing 20 years ago. If the neck isn't kept flexible, it can promote shoulder pain and headaches as well.
Chiropractic can be very helpful in restoring and maintaining mobility and flexibility. Some people stretch and stretch yet still can't touch their toes. Usually this indicates a ligament issue. Their bones and spine aren't flexing. One of the secrets to having a bouncy, happy walk isn't about being flexible, it's about having your bones & ligaments moving properly. If everything is aligned and moving correctly, and the structure is perfectly aligned, the individual has a light, bouncy walk with or without flexibility.
Diet and exercise can help circulation. Acupuncture and herbs are also useful in promoting circulation as well as helping reduce inflammation. If you improve the circulation, you've got a better supply system which can transport out the waste products. The healthy diet can then provide the right nutrition to be transported in. Blood tests can determine how well hormones are balanced.
Everything is tied into one another. Just like a plate of spaghetti, if one noodle falls off, it usually takes several with it. Just be sure to treat all the issues together as a whole rather than trying to look at each "noodle" independently.Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) was eager to congratulate President Obama on the fiscal cliff talks today on FOX News Sunday.
"Hats off to the president. He won."
Republican Senator Lindsay Graham appeared on Fox News Sunday and said he believes the chances for a fiscal cliff deal before the December 31st deadline were "exceedingly good."
"I think people don't want to go over the cliff if we can avoid it," Graham told host Chris Wallace.
He also expressed his belief that the deal would likely be more acceptable to Democrats in Congress than Republicans. "It will be a political victory for the president."

If you're like me, you have been making moves to live a more sustainable lifestyle. I have already done a lot in my personal life such as reducing meat and plastic. In this, I have discovered that as a musician there are a lot of ways in which I can cut down my waste. I'm here to share those sustainable-musician tips with you today.
Get Your Sheet Music Online
New technology makes it unnecessary to need sheet music on actual paper.
I know many musicians (myself included) who download PDFs of sheet music onto their iPad, laptops, or phones. The purpose of this is easy accessibility, convenience, and of course, to be paper-less.
Purchase Quality Items That Will Last You A Long Time
Part of sustainability is purchasing quality items made to last. This so you don't have to keep re-buying the same thing over and over again.
For example, you can avoid buying the cheapest headphones at the gas station. (You know the kind that last a month before one ear bud stops working).
Instead, buy quality earbuds that will last you a long time!
Another example is reeds:
If You Play a Reed Instrument, Try Synthetic Reeds!
Synthetic reeds are made of plastic and have a longer lifespan than regular cane reeds.
If well taken care of, synthetic reeds can last up to a year before you should get a new one. They are also less maintenance since they don't need moisture in order to sound. They also do not need breaking-in or trimming/cutting.
Regular cane reeds come in packs. But more often than not, not all the reeds in the pack are actually usable due to being cut unevenly. Therefore, buying cane reeds regularly can quickly become wasteful with all the packaging and unusable reeds.
Who Are Synthetic Reeds Good For?
If you double instruments, don't play often enough to need to buy reeds all the time, or if you just want to save some money, synthetic reeds are a great option. Plus, there are so many options out there to get different sounds with!
Synthetic reeds are primarily popular to musicians who play multiple reed instruments in one show. This is because synthetic reeds don't dry out after sitting for a while without use, like cane reeds do. Therefore, you can quickly and effectively get a response out of an instrument with a synthetic reed without having to wet the reed.
I personally use a synthetic for my clarinet since it is my secondary instrument which I only play for shows in which I need to double.
I also use a synthetic for my baritone sax because buying regular cane reeds for the bari can get really expensive really fast.
As for tenor (my primary instrument) I switch between cane and synthetic depending on what I'm playing. For example, for a jazz gig I will play a cane reed but for a pit orchestra I will use a synthetic.
Cutting down on the amount of cane reeds I go through by replacing them with a synthetic does really cut down my waste. (And saves me a pretty penny too!)
Pro tip: I and many others have found that Legere synthetic reeds are closest to getting an authentic cane-reed sound without the cane reed itself. 10/10 recommend if you are on the hunt for a synthetic.
However, there is a difference in sound when it comes to synthetic vs cane reeds. There may be a certain timbre you want that is only achievable with cane reeds. That is the reason many reed players still choose cane over synthetic.
Therefore, bringing me to my next point:
Take Care of Your Items So That They Last
If you prefer cane reeds, here you can find some great info on how to make them last longer, and get the most life out of each reed.
Taking good care of your musical items is essential for being sustainable. You will spend less, waste less, and cherish the items you do have more.
(Friendly reminder to wrap your cables appropriately)
Be a Sustainable Musician by Thrifting Your Gig Clothes
If your gig is not a black tie event for which you need a tailored suit, thrift your gig clothes!
There are many second hand stores that only except high quality or luxury brand clothing.
Secondhand stores like Plato's Closet have high quality, barely used items that look professional and brand new.
Another great option is Poshmark, where you can thrift shop through an app! I personally have sold some of my own hardly-worn professional looking gig clothes on the app.
Reusable Water Bottle/Coffee Cup + Straw
Yes, you've heard it before. But carrying a reusable bottle with you is one of the easiest ways to cut down waste. Plus, you'll be more hydrated if you always have some water with you.
Furthermore, if you had a late night performing, recording music, or studying, you probably cling to a coffee cup the next morning. Once you get in the habit of bringing a reusable coffee cup with you, it's just second nature and you don't even have to think about it.
Or if you're like me and drink iced coffee year-long, a reusable straw is a great option too!
Pro tip: it helps to have super cute reusable tools that you feel excited to use. Therefore, are less likely to forget them at home. Here's some really cute metal straws that I personally have and love! Plus you can get 15% off with code SALLYADRIANAM203–This is an affiliate code, meaning at no additional cost to the purchaser, I will receive compensation should someone chose to make a purchase using this code.
Any Other Sustainable Musician Tips?
If you personally have any ways in which you practice sustainability as a musician that was not mentioned here, please write it in the comments. I love finding new ways to practice sustainability!
Best wishes to you in your sustainable-musician endeavors!

As she did in episode 40 and 41, Della wears her pendant with the initials D.S. in script. Submitted by PaulDrake 33.
In the opening scene, Hans Breel drives a sports car up in front of an apartment building. When he applies the brakes, the front tag of his car has been attached so poorly that it almost comes off. The front tag, DHR 786 is the same tag that is on Carl Reynoldsí Pontiac in episode 44, TCOT Curious Bride. Submitted by PaulDrake 33.
+ Here's the scene at about 59 seconds, just before Breel comes to a stop; at 01:23, Breel enters the building. You will see the loose plate shake just after 00:59. Here's a later shot (13:32) of Breel's trŤs ťlťgant 1958 Simca Aronde Ocťane with promiscuous plate# DHR 786. That's the 1958 Edsel Citation 4-Door HardTop (from "CARS", above) beyond Breel's Simca. Looking through the Edsel's interior, it's Paul's black 1958 Thunderbird Convertible, white top up, with Sarah Werner and Paul inside, staking-out the location.
++ Here's a color photo of a '58 Aronde Ocťane. Those are SIMCA hubcaps, not Studebakers! Aronde Sports cars (60HP/90mph) were roughly equivalent in price & performance to the contemporary Triumph TR3, MGA and Alfa Romeo Giulietta.

About Our Prayer Chaplain Ministry
What is a Prayer Chaplain?
A Prayer Chaplain is a lay person who functions as an extension of the pastoral ministry of the congregation. A Prayer Chaplain is not a counselor or an ordained minister. He or she is a congregation member who wants to serve and to grow spiritually. Being a Prayer Chaplain is transformative soul work as it deepens one's spiritual path through prayer and service. No prior experience in prayer or praying with others is required to serve as a Prayer Chaplain.
What Does a Prayer Chaplain do?
A Prayer Chaplain:
- Is available to support others on their spiritual journey.
- Creates and holds sacred space.
- Lovingly listens and holds what is heard in the strictest of confidence, meaning that what is shared with the Prayer Chaplain is not discussed with anyone else, including the person who made the initial prayer request (ie listen, pray and release).
- Prays with others.
Prayer chaplains serve during Sunday services several times a month, holding spiritual space and praying with congregants before and after services. They also make monthly wellness calls to congregants who request them.
How do I become a Prayer Chaplain?
1) Attend our 2020 Orientation session with Rev Evin and Debbie Walker on Sat, February 01 at 1pm.
2) Complete our training program and make a commitment to serve your church community for one year (April to April). Our new Prayer Chaplain training program continues Sat, February 15 with a Special Presenter!
Stay tuned for more info and specifics; please contact Rev Evin at email@example.com or Debbie Walker, Prayer Chaplain Coordinator at email@example.com if you are interested or have any questions.

Cone Spotting
UB students, other college students search for, share cones
For some, the upside-down cone filling in a pothole near the UB Commons is simply that: an upside-down cone. For online lover of cones Kalil Hendel, it's "a sharp, absurdist commentary on the complex relationship between issues of public safety and the establishment response."
Welcome to Cone Spotting.
Cone Spotting is guided by the credo posted in its description: "spot those cones. pics from phones. never b [sic] alone." The one-and-a-half-year-old group has over 1,000 members across the world –– 1,261 at time of publication –– and over 750 of those are considered "active members," posting, commenting or liking pictures of cones at least once in the last week, according to Hendel, an admin and one of the early members of Cone Spotting.
Hendel, a sophomore mechanical engineering major, said the "infamous upside-down cone" at UB has popped up on his feed a couple of times in the past week or so. He "loves" it every time.
"A standardly oriented cone does not necessitate a pothole, and so appears innocent, but the cleverly inverted cone is indebted to the hole," Hendel said. "In fact, it would have no footing without it. This is the relationship between all cones and the hazards they represent."
Hendel said the pictures of cones popping up on his timeline are the best part of his daily social media experience. Most online content and real-world events are stressful, but Hendel said it's always great to see "cone bois."
Cone Spotting is part of a rise in niche Facebook groups that are often light-hearted, like Dogspotting, a group for posting pictures of dogs, and New Urbanist Memes for Transit-Oriented Teens, a group for discussions on urban planning, transit and general city life, often through memes. Cone Spotting serves as an intentionally odd, self-referential online community, taking the humor of these groups to absurd new levels.
Sociology professor Kevin Smiley said Dogspotting, in this case, acts as a frame for Cone Spotting, just as social justice movements act as a frame for climate and environmental justice movements.
"Niche groups like this never arise out of a vacuum but often out of related phenomenon," Smiley said in an email.
One of the most well-known figures in urban studies, Jane Jacobs, wrote about being aware of the "sidewalk ballet," the things that happen on neighborhood streets that make the city what it is. Smiley said he thinks the members of Cone Spotting are attuned with the streets they walk down, specifically enjoying the "mundane elements like random cones."
Tim McMahon, a freshman legal studies major, is particularly aware of the ballet.
Over winter break, McMahon's friend, who attends SUNY Plattsburgh, mentioned Cone Spotting to him, saying he would probably be good at it.
"Incidentally, I was," McMahon said.
He was one of the first to spot the upside-down cone sticking out of the ground. He took a picture and posted it in the group. A few days later, he saw someone else in the group had posted the same upside-down cone, much to his chagrin. Even so, McMahon said he enjoys walking around campus, always on the lookout for an orange piece of conical rubber.
"Before I was in Cone Spotting, I used to see a cone and I'd be like, 'Whatever, it's just a cone,'" McMahon said. "Now whenever I see a cone, I'm like, 'Oh, there's a cone right there!'"
On Tuesday, a cone spot reached one hundred reactions in the group for the first time, a milestone for Cone Spotting. The picture, taken in London by UB student Hugo Fernandez, a senior business and psychology major, shows two spiral cones that Fernandez referred to as "rare swirly boiz."
"It's a good laugh," Fernandez said. "Quality cones make quality 'cone-tent.' A variation on something we all see in urban environments is something people get excited about."
Puns play a big role in Cone Spotting. Hendel said the group has always encouraged creative captions for the "cone-tent" people post. One member posted a small pile of cones with the caption, "My favorite prequel is Star Wars: a Stack of the Cones." Others use words like "cone-grats" and "cone-struction." Hendel himself has a pet cone named "Conerad."
But the group is not without some "cone-troversy."
Kai Haskins, a senior business major at Babson College in Massachusetts, founded Cone Spotting in November 2016 after taking a few pictures of some aesthetically pleasing cones. Little did they know a cone-spotting group already existed: Cone Spotting (Official).
"I didn't bother to check," Haskins said. "It was such a ridiculous premise that it didn't even cross my mind that a group could exist already."
On Boxing Day 2016, Haskins received a message from someone telling them to shut down their cone-based group, claiming it was a copy of Cone Spotting (Official). Haskins said no, and the other group retaliated.
Several members from Cone Spotting (Official) joined Haskin's group and began posting non-cone photos, according to Haskins and Hendel. It was the first and only time the admin team of Cone Spotting had to take serious action, banning the "cone trolls."
Members of Cone Spotting (Official) could not be reached for comment.
Now, with over 300 more members in Cone Spotting than in Cone Spotting (Official), Hendel and Haskins said they feel as though they've won the rivalry. Simply passing the 1,000-member milestone was a big deal for the group. Hendel figured out who the 1,000th member was and sent them a cone in the mail.
endel said he loves the community, especially the interconnectedness of the small, close-knit group.
"It's a weird, weird feeling," Hendel said. "I know at some point in my life, somebody's going to recognize me and be like, 'Hey, aren't you from Cone Spotting?' And to be honest, I can't wait."

AACT Member-Only Content
You have to be an AACT member to access this content, but good news: anyone can join!
Why did you join Teams?
Started over 3 years ago by Carla Saunders.
Jennifer brought up a really good topic in the introduction thread, and I thought it might be good to start a new discussion for it. I'm wondering what you all are hoping for from this group (demos, general questions, specific topics you cover, or anything else), or why you hoped joining teams would be beneficial to you. Once I know what you all are looking for I'll be able to serve you better!
Just to tell you all a bit about me, I wanted to be a part of the teams because I love sharing my love of chemistry. I first got really excited about chemistry after having one great teacher, and if I can help someone else get excited about learning science I'd be over the moon.
I have experience teaching college students and doing outreach events (single day/ several hour demos or lessons) at high schools and middle schools, as well as a few children's parties. I also am currently studying for my PhD in chemistry, so I have lots of hands on experience (which hopefully will be of use to you guys).
I look forward to helping you guys in any way I can!

Diana - Demo Fridays sound like a great idea. There are a lot of really good resources for new demos, including the ACS website (https://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/education/whatischemistry/adventures-in-chemistry/experiments.html and https://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/education/students/highschool/chemistryclubs/activities.html.html) and the Journal of Chemical Education.
I get really excited about planning demos, so I'll put together some of the resources I've developed and pass them along in the next week or so. Most of the demos I do are geared toward younger kids (grade school - early middle school), but the demos can usually be adjusted for an older audience!

Hi Jennifer.
I've done several demos, but my current favorite is discussing ocean acidification. I use a basic solution with universal indicator, then slowly add in dry ice. I talk about sublimation, as well as acid base chemistry. Then I'll use cabbage water indicator to let students test the pH of different household acids/bases. It works well with grades ~5-10, depending on how in depth you go.
Then explosions are always good for demos - elephant's toothpaste is a good one (and pretty safe).

I joined teams to learn more about Chemistry, which I love and have been teaching for over 30 years! I always gain insight into another part of Chemistry, no matter with whom I converse--any new bit of info is a golden nugget to include in my next lesson, demo or year of the course. I do Demo Fridays with my students as much as possible, so love learning about new demos I can showcase. I am always looking for new labs to introduce and change out with my 'tried & true' ones. I am looking forward to a fun and rewarding experience with the three of you!

Just out of curiosity, what types of demos did you do at children's parties? Sometimes I am able to have professors from a local community college come and perform experiments for my students. The students really enjoy it.
I joined teams so I could find out how other teachers were addressing specific chemistry topics in their classrooms. I also wanted to be able to receive feedback on what I am doing in the classroom. Additionally, I want to make sure that what we are doing in class is accurate and has connections to the world beyond my classroom.

Target is paying more than $3.7 million to settle a lawsuit that said its hiring process, which automatically rejected people with criminal backgrounds, disproportionately kept blacks and Hispanics from getting entry-level jobs at its stores.
As part of the settlement, Target has agreed to hire outside experts to review how it deals with applicants who have criminal backgrounds.
Target says it has already made changes to its hiring process since it became aware of complaints from a job applicant more than a decade ago.
According to the lawsuit, blacks and Hispanics were harmed by the hiring system because they are arrested and incarcerated at higher rates than whites.
The suit cited "systemic discrimination in the criminal justice system."
Target had about 345,000 full-time, part-time and seasonal employees as of February.

In another landmark move to boost housing development in the country, the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN) in conjunction with the Nigeria Labor Congress (NLC), Trade Union Congress (TUC) and the Nigeria Employers' Consultative Association (NECA) have finalized plans to commence the implementation of a National Affordable Housing Delivery Program for Nigerian workers.
The housing scheme is a product of a strategic collaboration between FMBN and the country's leading labor unions towards gradually addressing in a structured and sustainable manner the housing requirement of their members currently estimated to be about 3,750,000 housing units.
This includes fast-tracking the provision of safe, decent, quality and affordable housing to registered members of NLC, TUC, and NECA that also contribute to the National Housing Fund (NHF), which the FMBN manages.
The pilot phase of the program aims to deliver 2,800 housing units in fourteen (14) sites across the country. This includes 200 houses in each of the six zones in addition to Lagos and Abuja.
The Groundbreaking ceremony of the project is scheduled for September at the 100-unit housing estate for Voice of Nigeria (VoN) in Abuja, Federal Capital Territory.
This will be followed by successive launches of the program in two states: Yola, Adamawa and Umuahia in Abia.
Group Head, Corporate Communications, FMBN, Mrs. Zubaida Umar said, the key features of the housing program are the emphasis on affordability and the focus on low and middle-income classes of workers. Planned house types therefore include fully finished semi-detached bungalows and blocks of Editor bedroom, two bedrooms, and three bedrooms.
"The designs of the houses are based on local and international social housing models that have been tested and proven to deliver housing units that are structurally strong, livable and at cost effective rates that fit the income of the targeted beneficiaries.
"To ensure successful execution of the program, the design and implementation plan was based on extensive deliberations and recommendation of housing experts. They drew from the theoretical and practical experiences of housing stakeholders, varied inputs, and consultations with developers, private sector players, research and analysis of housing projects locally and abroad," she said.

Loud local rockers Sparrows bask in debut US tour, exciting new releases
Adam Feibel | Fulcrum Staff
Dan Thomson picks me up in his van on the way to his band's last rehearsal before their tour. It's a big one—the tour, I mean, but the van as well. He tells me it's great for sleeping in, but a real pain in the ass to parallel park.
"I could do it if I had more time," he says. "But when I'm on a busy downtown street, I'd rather just walk further with all the gear than deal with that."
The van will take the loud and melodic Ottawa rock band, Sparrows, through 27 cities on the band's first American tour and longest to date. The band cut the tape in Burlington, Vt. on Aug. 31 and will head down the east coast to Gainesville, Fl. by Sept. 16, before heading right back up again to end in Rochester, N.Y.
This big leap for the band—which includes Thomson on guitar and lead vocal duties, bassist Brandon Desjardins, guitarist Devlin Morton, and drummer Rem Macleod—comes at a time of great opportunity for growth and expansion. Sparrows rereleased their debut EP, Goliath, on cassette tape through American record label Paper + Plastick, and are set to release a brand new seven-inch record they've been sitting on for months.
"Basically, the original plan was to have it out in May," Thomson explains. "And then with member shifts and everything, that didn't happen."
The band actually recorded the three songs in February with Kenny Bridges of the well-known Brampton, Ont.-based group, Moneen. Sparrows has toured aplenty, having played about 100 gigs in 2011 after the May release of Goliath, but tours, member changes, and other delays have gotten in the way of the new seven-inch.
We're now at the band's practice space, in between rehearsals of the band's 30-minute set. Thomson insisted I bring earplugs, but I forgot, of course, so he came prepared with an extra set. It's a good thing he did, because Sparrows' blisteringly loud and effects-laden brand of post-hardcore—influenced by bands like Small Brown Bike, Moving Mountains, and perhaps most noticeably, Moneen—ricochets off the walls of the dimly lit basement.
The band practices here three times a week, and it pays off. Sparrows' live show is loud, tight, and perfectly executed. The members are comfortable enough in their element to have a lot of fun while playing; you'll notice them swapping guitar picks, exchanging high-fives, and jumping off things while playing.
The current version of Sparrows has only existed since last winter, with the exception of Macleod, who was added a couple months later. Before that, Thomson played alongside a whole other group of guys.
This is more of a vacation than a tour, it's starting to become.
The band was also supposed to do their first U.S. tour back in July, but things didn't quite work out.
"Brandon unintentionally screwed that up," Thomson says.
"Fuck you," Desjardins laughs.
Thomson continues, "No, it's true! What happened was—and this was a couple days before we were going to cross—the first promoter called us in to the border, like you're supposed to do. And [Desjardin's] name got flagged at the border. And because we hadn't applied for work permits because we were going there and not getting paid, basically what was going to happen was that they weren't going to let us across because someone that shares his name is like, a really big drug dealer in Quebec.
"So, that kind of screwed our summer a little bit, and that's why everything's been pushed back now."
But this time, they've pulled out all the stops. In the corner of the room is a whiteboard with a list of all the things they need to do before leaving.
"I've been stressing about what I have to buy," Morton says, "but then trying to remember, 'We're going to the U.S., they have stores there. We can purchase some of these things.'"
Morton has been acting as a quasi travel advisor for the band for this tour. On top of acquiring American SIM cards for each member's phone, he also compiled an incredibly detailed tour booklet with information and trivia about each city they'll stop in and each route they'll take in between.
I pick it up and flip through each city's history, geography, population, and more, and notable attractions like the Ben & Jerry's headquarters in Burlington, Vt. and Yankee Stadium in, well, New York City. There are one or two pages for each city, and more for the driving routes. Seriously, this thing is almost as thick as my thumb.
Morton says later on he'll go over all the famous graves they should visit.
"This is more of a vacation than a tour, it's starting to become," Thomson admits.
There are still some dates that may be switched up, but they're playing it as it goes, with good humour. No matter how much you plan, some things will always be undecided. The show in Gainesville might get switched up, for example, but Thomson says, "Whatever, fuck it, it's Florida. There's water and food. And a hurricane, probably."
I ask them what else, other than handball—a game they described earlier as essentially squash but without the rackets—they do to kill time on tour.
"Write music," says Desjardins, but he's not talking about Sparrows.
"We can't say the name of the band, because it's very inappropriate and you couldn't print it," says Thomson.
I tell them to try me. Morton chimes in, "It's called Daft Cunt." Sorry, folks. Though he says his girlfriend—a University of Ottawa student, at that—helped come up with the name.
All potential offensiveness aside, Thomson says they're "pretty good at surviving with each other" on the road. They chat and keep themselves busy, and listen to a lot of non-musical audio.
"I've downloaded over 100 hours of stand-up comedy," Morton says. I truly believe he's not exaggerating. Louis C.K., George Carlin, Bill Cosby, Mitch Hedberg, and so on. "You can only listen to so much music," he says.
After a good bit of hanging out with Sparrows, I grab my stuff and head out because I have a meeting to get to and because I'm supremely allergic to Macleod's dog. But the band keeps at it, rehearsing another once or twice more before packing up. And then they're off on vacation.

I'm really busy again and I'm afraid you won't see much relevant content anytime soon here.
This time, I'm working on a kernel patch that does some prefetching. I hope I'll finish this assignment in time and won't have to fix it in March. It's due next Monday and I'm already tired. It's no good when you find solitaire interesting. It's much worse when you wanna switch places with Britney Spears because she doesn't have the operating systems class. I know she's double-divorced, her kids have been taken from her, photographers follow her all the time, she's addicted to smoking, she has family issues, her mental health is questionable, but at the moment, I claim she doesn't know her luck.
Wait, didn't I say I was happy, I wanted this myself and stuff? I still do, but the end of the semester is coming and I'm really tired of it, and my health issues (which I didn't exactly ask for and don't make me as happy as compiling the Linux kernel) don't really help.

Nice work TK, a well thought PIECE and well narrated, thank you!
Thank you emmanuel for the kind comment.
Should I get a job or should I start a business? This is a genuine question we hear every now and then, especially from fresh graduates and members of the about-to-graduate crew.
Whether you get a job or start a business, it is still work; and no form of work is more dignifying than the other. It is understandable that people lean towards either of these two options based on their personality types, experience, resources, life goals and even age but it is just not acceptable to undermine the power of any; landing a corporate job is not inferior to starting a business. The world needs "9-to-5" workers as much as it needs "business owners". And guess what? Both of them are entrepreneurs…
If you're still making up your mind which is for you, consider this post as a snack to interrupt, help clarify your thoughts and lead you towards the answer you seek. How do you know which is for you? Here are some questions that will help you make up your mind, or at least know yourself some more…
WHO AM I and WHAT AM I LIKE?
• What type of person are you? What are your personality traits?
• What opportunities excite you and why?
• Are you more of a 'thinker' who enjoys innovating, or a 'doer' who enjoys working with things in the real world?
• Do you consider yourself to be an artistic, creative person, or are you more interested in routine, concrete activities?
• Are you a seller or a builder?
• What are you amazingly good at? What are your precious gifts?
• What do your friends always say you'd be good at, or suggest you should do for a living? If you don't remember, then go ask three of them.
• Are you more cooperative or competitive?
• Do you prefer helping others, leading and influencing others, or not working with people?
• Do you prefer to strategise or implement?
• When was the last time you massively over delivered on something? What was it and why did you work so hard?
• Are you proactive or do you prefer to be given specific guidelines and clear instructions
• Would you like to work overtime?
• How much control do you need to have over your own time?
• Where do you want to live?
• How much money do you really need?
• Is there a good chance you will make as much money as you want or need?
• What is your definition of success?
• What really motivates you? Money? Influence? Work-life balance?
• If you did not have to get a job or start a business, how would you fill your twenty-four hours daily?
• What is your desire? Do you want to be rich or famous?
• What would you like to be known for?
• What would you like to accomplish before you die?
• Are you making your choices to please somebody else?
• Assuming you had a job, what do you think you will like most about your work?
• Can you truly succeed at this job or business you desire to do? If not, why not?
These questions are important because they reveal parts of yourself that you have not previously considered and unveil thinking patterns you were not previously aware of. So, what do you think?
Whatever you choose, don't chase money or famous success; decide to make a difference… Decide to be your best and success will find you.

Fact or fiction: Romney's speech checked
Gov. accepts GOP nomination
Gov. Mitt Romney's acceptance speech Thursday night at the Republican National Convention was big on ideas and emotions.
And like most convention speeches, it was short on specifics.
But where the presidential hopeful did offer details, NewsCenter 5 checked the facts.
"You know there is something wrong with the kind of job he has done as president when the best feeling you had was the day you voted for him," Romney said.
This is a tough claim to measure, but NewsCenter 5 took a look at two major consumer confidence indices -- from the Conference Board and the University of Michigan -- and found most Americans actually feel better about the economy today than they did when President Barack Obama was elected.
Then again, the president's approval rating has slid from the traditional bump after he was elected.
"Unlike President Obama, I will not raise taxes on the middle class of America," Romney said.
Emerson College's political science professor Gregory Payne said that claim from Romney is false.
"Small businesses and the middle class, at least from objective sources, seem to have gotten some tax reductions," Payne said.
Romney could be driving at the individual mandate in Obama's signature health care reform law, but the fact remains: The president extended the Bush tax cuts, slashed the payroll tax and offered a tax credit to middle class families in his stimulus.
"Unlike the president, I have a plan to create 12 million new jobs," Romney said.
Romney hasn't released many details of his economic plans, but estimates indicate a Romney economy could add 12 million jobs.
The same data from Moody's Analytics predict the economy would add about 12 million jobs under Obama, as well.
"Family income has fallen by $4,000," Romney said.
Incomes have fallen steadily since Obama took office, but some of that decline took place in the 13 months before he was sworn in.
"I think one of the strongest points for the governor was when he did echo Ronald Reagan's 'Are you better off now than you were four years ago?'" Payne said.
Payne measured the speech a mixed bag, both on the fact-or-fiction standard, and in terms of how well Romney managed to connect with voters.

SIALKOT - A large number of Sikh Yatrees including male and female have accused the Indian government of creating hurdles in the immigration process at Indian side, not allowing maximum number of yatrees to reach Gurdwara Darbar Sahib Kartarpur-Pakistan.
The Sikh Yatrees said that the Indian is not "happy with the opening" of Kartarpur Corridor project, due to which the Indian government is not facilitating the Sikhs properly besides creating "seen and unseen hurdles" in their way to reach Kartarpur.
Sardar Inderjeet Singh from USA said, "Pakistan has won hearts and minds of the Sikh community. Leaving across the world by opening Kartarpur Corridor for ensuring their visa-free entry to this Gurdwara, which has become World's biggest ever Gurdwara".
Sardar Badal Singh from India said that Pakistan is providing all the world class facilities besides rendering them splendid hospitality to the Sikh Yatrees reaching here through Kartarpur Corridor.
Preet Kaur informed that Indian security officials were busy detecting technical faults and errors in the passports and other identity documents of the Sikhs during their online registration for Kartarpur visit, besides, adopting delaying tactics.
Sardar Amar Singh narrated that the Indian security officials have been creating security hurdles for the Sikhs by not clearing them deliberately for kartarpur-Pakistan visit.
Naseeb Kaur from Australia said that this nasty practice by Indian officials has reduced the number of Sikh Yatrees reaching Gurdwara Darbar Sahib through the corridor.
Sardar Sarbjeet Singh from Canada said, "Kartarpur Corridor project is a great reality and India must accept this reality, saying that India must stop adopting delaying tactics in online registration of the Sikh Yatrees for their Kartarpur visit".
They urged the Pakistan government to take serious notice of the Indian atrocities and evolve a foolproof strategy to facilitate the Sikh yatrees.
The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has arrested as many as 59 accused Pakistanis, deported from Turkey, upon their arrival at Sialkot international airport here today.
According to the senior FIA officials, the FIA has sent the accused behind the bars after registering separate cases against them. Further investigations were underway, in this regard.
