Punches! We finally have punches in a NBA fight! Robin Lopez and Serge Ibaka didn't land many of those punches but their fist fight was a lot more entertaining than the usual hold me back stuff we have been getting and funnier than the recent Ice Cube movie 'Fist Fight.' The game turned out to be a pretty entertaining one too, with the Raptors coming out with a two-point victory in OT.
After the game, Ibaka took another shot at Lopez with this comment.
"I'm not just going to be out there and watch a man like him punch me and walk away."
A crazed looking Lopez, who is mostly known for punching mascots and did fight the Raptors' mascot before this game, said he expects to be suspended and Ibaka's punch just "grazed him," even though he had a pretty noticeable mark on the side of his face.
The best comment of the night went to Robin's brother Brook Lopez, who jokingly said he's pulling for Ibaka in a grudge match and how Robin would have been on the ground if he was out there.

Greater Clark County Schools implements Ford Next Generation Learning
Greater Clark County Schools is implementing a new teaching model to better prepare students for college and careers.
Superintendent Andrew Melin announced the district's partnership with Ford Next Generation Learning.
It starts next school year with career academies for freshmen at Jeffersonville, New Washington and Charlestown high schools.
The program is designed to integrate core academic knowledge with real world skills.
"Getting kids more directly involved, more hands on researching, reading, writing, presenting, looking at real life problems that are out in the community -- I think that's very essential because it increase the relevancy to students," Greater Clark County Schools Superintendent Dr. Andrew Melin said.
Greater Clark hopes to expand the model to 10th through 12th grades by the following school year.
Melin said Ford Next Generation Learning has been tremendously successful in Nashville and other communities.

... the ... Democrats and Republicans still spot and although the tax-cut deal but then maybe actually a deal in the watch will tell you about ... right and right now on the New Saab good afternoon and welcome ... I'm Simon Constable Paul O'Brien you for the entire show on Simon ... this should be fun let's go straight down a Washington D C when Jerry Sithe is standing by ... and Jerry what is the latest ... while the latest is there's a mounting pressure on Republicans in the house for the people who've stopped when everybody else in town seems to want which is a two month extension of the payroll tax ... reduction into next year ... while negotiations continue on a four year extension the pressure on House Republicans ... to back off of their position get something done to the Derica wrap this up before taxes increase on the first of the year ... is getting higher Mitch McConnell the Senate Republican Leader today open the can down said ... House Republicans on a just pass this thing and get this all on the same page ... what's happening behind the scenes is the House Republicans have started to talk about ... what might be a kind of a face saving compromise which is to turn a two month extension ... into a three month extension still a temporary extension but they can say the change that now have a ... reason to vote for something different ... the rationale for doing that isn't entirely nonsensical that for a business point of view having a three month extension if it were to be only that ... were the least a quarter of the year as opposed to two months and its major plan for ... of for businesses enough to make accusations about tax reductions in the tax deductions no such thing so ... it may be that this three month extension idea ... provides a vehicle for House Republicans to back down and and that's more were talking in them in the background but on on the southeast we still call them going at it let's have from the president why now ... it ... the ... the people standing with me today can't afford any mortgage ... they can afford to lose a thousand dollars because of some ridiculous ... Washington state law ... the house needs to pass a short-term version of this compromise and that we should negotiate ... an agreement as quickly as possible to extend the payroll tax cut and unemployment rose ... for the rest of two thousand and twelve it's the right thing to do for the economy ... in its ... most of Chorley the right thing to do for American families all across the country ... this is not just my view ... just a few hours ago ... this is exactly what the Republican leader of the Senate said we should do ... and we also heard from Dongfang as well he's in the House and House Speaker let say what he said ... it sold the breeze and present the others all one big reason why we need to do a foreigner ... biomass jobs ... of the near bill ... that was the spigot on Banda so that this all going at it did Jerry aam ... that sounds like they both won a one-year deal with the summit thousand so square and this was a neat trick is not ... well they're not really everybody wants a one year deal that it's it's really a strange standoff in the sense that everybody agrees that the payroll tax cut should be extended in everybody agrees that it should be done for year ... and then eventually that's what will happen ... that that this dispute is over details and pay for steady pay for it ... I'll what you're hearing in President Obama is ... a leader in pretty much knows that he's one of the politics of this I even House Republicans admit that they come up on the short end of this as a political matter ... Mr fatalistic about that ... um and so the president is treated standout mounted to walk away at the House Republicans and they have taken Tele get this resolved ... House Republicans decree freshman among the House Republicans of them don't like the idea of extending the tax cut all the tickets from being ... so Security system ... some of them really do believe that you shouldn't ashore traditionally do a long-term one and let's get on with that ... aam but the problem is that they did not pay for that in a way that Democrats will agree ... but the odd thing as I said is that ... everybody agrees that one extended and everybody agrees that one extended for year the kids is we just can't figure out how to do it ... but politically in this is when Mitch McConnell said what he said today that his colleagues in House ... Republicans ... are losing ground on this one and many Republicans most probably want to get out of the position and is in the euro had Amec House Republicans still ... and Jerry mechanically how this is more given that ... so many of the representatives ... have actually taken off are really the holidays ... will they have a ... you know ah Chua wrote in a Washington or ... will it be about to get back on a plane and then go back to the state ... it's a it's a good question I what I've been told on the course is the house is still here because they're the ones who haven't figured out what to do about it they can pass something if they change but the Senate passes what I've been told is the Senate can pass that deploys leadership agrees ... by unanimous consent which is to say whoever happens to be in town ... comes into the chamber in a state is anybody injected doing this and nobody objects and therefore isn't it it's an amendment to what the house in authority Pasternak call hundred senators back to town on Christmas Eve to do that so ... I think there is a mechanical ... legislative way to do that ... without having to reconvene all of Congress and that seems to be the path toward resolution of most people are hoping for ... a candidate based on what he is watching Congress is now likely to happen ... I'd say more likely than not ... you know when you get into a situation ... in which you have a minority ... in Congress that is trying to defend a position ... that ... even many of their own people have decided is a losing proposition ... I may find some way to to close it down and move on fairly quickly ... that's what's happening today the search is underway for the basic set face saving compromise ... for House Republicans ... you know it's not easy because they're a lot of ... freshman Tea Party House Republicans who really don't care what anybody thinks they ... like to say they came here to change the way Washington works and don't care figured we liked or not they don't care about the politics of and I think yet to take them at their word when they say that ... but the clue in to pressure to do something is growing ... and I think in in the circumstances normally that's enough to produce a result ... Alan Thompson thank you Brian much Jerry side with a Wall Street analysts ... covering the situation in Congress ... this is dysfunctional as have up ... well that's good news to anyone traveling by plane this holiday season is a new safety initiatives on why we got a neat pass to all the Wall Street on loss Ashley is it's it's a ... story in law sent me to tell us ... all about it and what so what's happening ... long-term trend or should they be improving in the US ... and down ... the regulators in the ... airline officials trying to come up with ... new ways of measuring risk because they're so few people at that ... in the US that they've come out they have come up with a different Arctic to prevent that otherwise ... you really can't show any improvement to the bottom line here is that increasingly ... the focus is on things that happen on the ground for takeoff after touchdown ... problems that occur from planes moving around and blending into the on the wrong path the way onto the wrong runway twenty two that fighting off with with that with great wit ... and flickered and went for a rainy ... or smelly runway show the emphasis is now on trying to reduce the risk ... that occur from aircraft moving around and ... aam and when you bring on the ground rather than India ... he didn't seen this'll be the of the safety record has ... shown some improvement ... in commercial airline is that ... you know here in New York ... we were all I'm just appalled ... at the tragic death of white people ... in a private plane crash ... I that that encourages yesterday morning ... is there ... thinking you know is are commensurate move on in in in safety ... among some of these private private aircraft ... certainly there are one of our and discussion of the need to ... improve the safety of both general aviation and business aircraft ... general aviation ... of course had to work out if you represent and didn't have to do but ... the rates are significantly higher ... and um that the way to deal with that with different than for airline Amenas much it's much easier ... for safety experts to figure out training ... changes in training and equipment and ... teachers ... and air traffic control procedures as well the deal with airlines and how to make airliners ... of ... course they get much more difficult to deal with a different ... no ... group of ... business ... aircraft operators and general aviation ... pilots some of whom are really we can pilot ... they're often called and we don't have ... the kind of love ... a good day period and who have the pressure on and ... and frankly I know resources ... to deal with improving safety so ... can you question specifically yet to block the top and concern about ... the higher ... tax rate for smaller aircraft will general aviation ... aircraft ... and there are efforts underway to ... improve that but it ... hit the floor with a lot ... sometimes we have safety initiatives with regard to commercial airline as having an ends up making on trips More on Constable is is then likely to happen with these ... on the ground safety initiatives ... no not at all I think that ... at every party solo and now the ... experts are starting to talk about ... how he single fatalities per one hundred million departure ... from the Federal Open special rate that they're actually looking at ... precursors to try to figure out what ... would be a problem down the road so the focus is on reducing risk ... and and that they're so few back and they really should have any impact on ... our operations and to all of them are just right the key ... thing that could create problems ... out of the system but it won't have any effect on ... aam ... controls or ... a corporation airports or anything like that that that much more shovel ... and much more difficult to act ... what sounds like tough when when when thank you very much Andy Pasztor all the Wall Street tunnel and Los Angeles' ...

Chesapeake Energy last month settled with the shareholder suit ... it's not final yet ... like it which is going to pay back twelve million dollars that the company paid him for a clutch of his personal maps and sold to Chesapeake it decorated the offices ... the minutes of personal financial trouble into thousandeight ... um and the company decide to step in and suddenly these maps that's hotter than the tradeoff is that the twelve million or so the race to pay that back ... with a very tiny amount of it and they get a job I'm just aren't all that is sort of ... you know I thought we eliminated cronyism in the boardroom and and you know ... back scratching by board members of the CEO ... we have and have done well ... this ... occurred in two thousand ate ... on ... Friday it was notably part of the of the package that RIM was a hundred twelve million dollars a year included attention but as of the things is a very sizeable ... the depths ... of the console back I got the attention of shareholders to said wait a second why are we ... buying antique maps from somebody on ... the twits that is that really in the interest of shareholders and ... of the disciples though ... so he's going to have to be staffed with that ... the Dalby Antofagasta mass back when he does it does I have it ... any other examples of this old line took it on Andria you'll get double for anti people ... aren't so of the Cubbies run into trouble by good services profit projections sales projections it's under ICC investigation for couple of things including possible bribery overseas ... of it and so she's up cut been guided out of the CEO position ostensibly a cut on ... his palace the CEO of the sensibly at her home to up the wrongdoing but I think the board instead of what artists well ... whatever sewer line manager usually when things go badly badly they can fire ... in the case of injury and she's good to be the executive ... chairman of the coffee on and what a sad until wilted two year deal ... after ex CEO gets found they obviously have not caught the big ones in that she is Einstein as Scott says it's got a big pay package attached to it on it's a million dollars salary Billy dollar of a target bonus ... for milk potentially up to four billion dollars of father of five one target set of ... it's a lot of money for somebody who has ... not performed well for company ... it's just work that ... were sold the board is really teaching or less ... I mean she's really be taken to the which it yet ... I mean what can we do when even ... your advocacy groups that have called for ... a truly independent boards and directors to act ... in the interest of shareholders not the CEO ... we're making progress in these initiatives well evidently on in some cases yes and evidently not on if other words don't feel pressured to do something more up on them it's ... another example is a looks ... like here you have a new president of the company but he's been around the company for quite some time of the scandal reckoning that's the accounting ... scandal ... and shareholders on a high degree of foreign shareholders saying ... behold forty s got you you've got it you gotta get they would like ... to see ... this as this accounting scandal goes back years and years and years and it's a craft club the Japanese corporate governance ... of an opaque like a lot of confidence ... so ... but the island was the new president to know he's from inside the company ... and he's trying to make these incremental steps be beginning to what was is all a bit of a war doesn't need to go and baby Ali against a ... stone to stone you scratch my back and I'll scratch my back that I felt like that but I think the shareholders and our say on UTX on that tell ... you that you gotta go but shareholders may feel it's it's it's more high level of comfort and yet we watch all the ... thank you very much the embossing check out his column but this is much more on that we didn't have time to get to ... what you think is selling a week as a business will be the easiest thing in the well but it's a bit more problematic map ... which is why we gotta Steven Andrew de Angelo than the stalls all the Discovery Channel's we bourse may come to us from Oakland California on the top ... on the screen ball ... toss my own business selling wheat ... Rio for her recital Center five years ago ... in order to provide a model of best practices of legitimacy and transparency for the industry which had little about up so the time ... we have ninety five thousand registered patients and received a six to eight hundred patients per day ... okay um again where were a little clip of the show right now ... this ... really ... the sea of red dirt ... as ... for the industry as it changes every time you see a lot of ... the tentative dog or cat flap and a bigger pots ... and ... then I was with the ... radar ... the euro also ... the wall ... she ... will grow we are going to work sixty hours into ... that full time occupation ... well I was forty six a miracle ... and I've stayed tolls about the economics of the business he said you know this is profitable got goodness knows ... my college roommate had managed to finance his studies academic studies ... of being in your business ... yeah I know we are true or not profitable and that by tomorrow we are a not for profit organization if you take a look at Ariki financial metrics are cost of goods are honest our percentage of a budget that is devoted to payroll ... you find that they run much much higher than a profit making ... business would be running we are a non profit community service organization ... so one of the particular business problems for you in and selling leaves I mean it's it's it's a regulated ... to regulate substance right ... it is regulated by the city of Oakland Raiders not regulated by the state of California whereby the U S federal government so the biggest problem we have right now is that the federal government despite an abundance of scientific evidence ... continues to maintain that there is no medical use for cannabis ... and yes the soul ... you know are you ... putting yourself at risk of prosecution ... but Deans quite so open about the business you do I mean ... when you better off but don't ... try to keep a low profile ... sure you know what I was trying to do is make a bunch of money and fly under the radar that's exactly what it would give ... my mission is to bring the truth about the candidates ran to the world however and ... it didn't that was very important that we will never see ... I think that the American people in the world that they see ... how we handle this medicine and how we treat our patients ... they will come support but were due ... to the process it's all about patients were occasions ourselves ... and so um it's not the same as um you know selling who we knew we prefer to use the word cannabis ... it's not it's not the same as Ullman's Collett said ... Noble said Mr. Hromadko ... site deductive gentleman do you think your opponent so in this op opened it to your ... hearing on demons or they just ... basically now it's ... it's not right and they don't want it ... I think we've made huge amount of progress over the course of the last several years if you take a look the most recent CBS News poll on the subject of Boeing to seventy seven percent of American citizens were ... derided patients to get medical cannabis so ... I think that what we're seeing is that as the medical use of cannabis spreads more people see that it works for your personal experiences with veteran or relative to Pursell experience with the ... support is growing everyday ... about twenty percent of our patients are over the age of fifty five so ... were really serving the TV that time he says ... and ... we ethylene about thank the much Steven Andrew channels of the discovery channel we did was that that ... check out that well Sunday while the man who built Citigroup is selling his last ... for about seventy million baht from a friend Johns's on the site tells all about is ... that's how we'll be off ... the bus or a bad day for the much money it's actually not that much of the odds of it ... as as the note dated as I become covering the wealthy ... so it's it's about two hundred feet ... of evidence that the only option may it's pretty nice but that's considered a mid sized dog crate in in in today's world we ... large gotten the worlds five hundred and thirty six feet long so this is less than half ... that size ... again as an upgrade from its present not which is around a hundred fifty feet ... aam but that the problem right now is for these midsize yes this is two hundred feet long now ... it is a nice guy it's made by finish it which is that the rolls Royce of got makers ... it's got an elevator which is ... unusual for yet this small ... and that's got a big state room ... to really nice dining areas but the that the issue is ... to see any just sold his house for eighty eight million dollars ... as in Central Park ... it was a record price Manhattan ... this is part of what people are calling the greatest yard sale of the of the year were Sandy soul is ten thousand hours got ... selling God is not as easy as selling a penthouse in your ... mortal either that ... or is this what I was the job what I'm Simon Constable that's it that's new supper now comeback at five for Opinion gentle ... there with lots of opinions of the great afternoon

For those of us married, we've uttered those vows. We don't really think too much about sickness, especially in our 20's and 30's. The last year in our house has lead to much sickness and in many ways it has strengthened our marriage.
Last year, I got MRSA (nasty staph infection, as detailed here: AMD MRSA). We were both scared (loss of life and all) and my wife was a real trooper during that time – shuttling two kids to and from the hospital. She was a good and attentive and empathetic trooper about the whole thing. I loved her so much for that.
Now I'm trying to return the favor. Let's say I'm not exactly Florence Nightingale on the bedside manner. When Holly went in for her surgery on Monday I was scared. You just never know — anesthesia doesn't put me very much at ease. She ended up fine (hip surgery – at 38 yrs old) but had a lot of pain, was drugged up, and obviously on crutches. I've been helping her for the last few days, making sure she's ok. I'm not a very doting nurse, but I make sure she has what she needs and try to keep other people like the kids or her mom out of her hair. Just like she took care of me, I am taking care of her in the ways I know how. I give her food, drink, some love, but I am not real empathetic – it's a personality flaw of mine. I have to help her to get dressed/undressed, taking care of entertainment, kids. Wake up every few hours to make sure she's taking appropriate medication, checking her ice machine and temperature, all that stuff. I do it because I love her and she has done the same for me, no questions asked since marriage is the ultimate team.
It's very difficult to see a loved one injured or ill. It puts me in an emotional place I rarely go as things are completely out of our control, and as one who likes to manage most details in their lives and have control over them, it's very uncomfortable. I also talked to my dad tonight, and found out my mom was in the hospital having a second heart stent (the first was a few years ago). I could tell he felt helpless in the situation and we talked a little about my mom's health. My dad eats pretty healthy and takes care of himself very well, even doing run/walk half marathons the last few years. My mom eats like shit, and digs in her heals when you tell her she needs to change her diet. My father feels helpless against this, and hopes she changes, but it's not his choice. He loves my mom and they've been married forever, and sickness or health he's in it for the long haul. But I think it's very selfish to put that burden on someone when general health is very much in your control through simple diet.
There are good times and bad in all marriages, and we sometimes need to forget all about ourselves for the benefit of your lover. Sacrifice, even small ones, help strengthen the bond, and really doing things like this unconditionally isn't a sacrifice.
So that's where we are at these days as the kids start their summer vacation. The good news is that it solved her problem, the surgery was a success, and after a lengthy rehab, she'll be pain free and back to normal. Though the next month to six weeks will especially suck (crutches) as she literally tries to get back on her feet.

At this point it feels like most Duke highlights are just about the same. There's a bunch of ridiculous Zion Williamson dunks, RJ Barrett has some acrobatic alley-oops and dunks of his own and the Blue Devils are blowing teams out.
Tonight against Hartford was no different. And it doesn't get old either.
Duke won by 30 at Cameron Indoor Stadium, with Williamson scoring 18 points, 12 rebounds and a handful of monster dunks (as well as misses) that had the crowd absolutely roaring. Barrett dropped 27 points and notched 15 rebounds of his own as the two college stars dropped double doubles on the night.
Though they're ranked No. 3 in the nation behind Gonzaga and Kansas, these guys are the best show in college basketball right now.

Festival Location
In 2012, Creative World is proud to partner again with the Stolo Nation Indigenous people of Mission, BC for this festival in the beautiful grounds of St Mary's. The Stolo Nation are the People of the River. Stó:lō elders describe their connection to the land in the statement "we have always been here."
St Mary's, Mission, BC
Nestled in the rugged Coast Mountains across the Fraser River north of Abbotsford lies Mission, so named after the first and largest mission in the Pacific Northwest, the Roman Catholic St. Mary's Mission, founded in 1861. Now owned and operated by the Stolo Nation, St Mary's offers a panoramic view of the mighty Fraser River and its beautiful valley. The Mission was founded by the Oblates of Mary Immaculate, a Catholic order from France with a doctrine of educating the poor. Mail arrived marked to "The Mission" and it is this that gives the town it's name. St. Mary's Mission and Residential School remained open and operating until 1961. It was at this time that its students were moved to the new government-run St. Mary's residential school adjoining the eastern edge of the old Mission Property. In 1965, all of the buildings of the Mission were demolished due to deterioration. Today, the only physical remaining traces of St. Mary's existence are some cement foundations that you can see scattered throughout the park. The park has spectacular views of the Fraser Valley, and on a clear day you can see the grand snow-capped peak of Mt. Baker in Washington State (below).To learn more about the Fraser River Heritage Park, go .
St Mary's is located just east of Mission, B.C. just off Highway #7, a one hour drive east of Vancouver, and north of Bellingham, WA. From Highway 1 (Trans-Canada), take Exit #92 / Highway #11 North to Mission, and east on Highway #7 (Lougheed Highway) past Stave Lake Street (which goes to the Fraser River Heritage Park). You will see the entrance to St Mary's on your left up a steep driveway.
Local Attractions
Located beside St Mary's, the Fraser River Heritage Park offers an enticing variety of events for the entire family. Enjoy a guided tour of the historic grounds or take a map and stroll at your own pace. A highlight of the visit is the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes, a reconstruction of a six-sided white shrine built in 1892 to become a focal point for retreats, pilgrimages and passion plays for people throughout the region.
Learn about Rivers, Rails and Robbers at the Mission Museum, where the historic legacy of the community and surrounding district is preserved. Features include Mission's largest artifact, a 1907 BC Mills prefabricated building, local history displays, and heritage walking tours.
For something a little different, watch for bald eagles, trumpeter swans and blue herons. These beautiful birds use Mission's waterways and meadowlands as feeding ground in the winter months.
Seeking solace and solitude? Look no further than Mission's Westminster Abbey. Overlooking the Fraser River and far from the maddening crowd, the Abbey is one of two Benedictine Monasteries in Canada, home to a community of Benedictine Monks, offering a reassuring anachronism for explorers of all kinds.

Its Been Too Long!
Well It has been a while since we posted a blog on the site and as I have never yet posted one I thought that it was about time for me to take up the mantle and write one.
I cannot believe as I am sitting here writing that we are once more coming to the end of June and the 2011 Speciality food show, when I think back to where we were as a business last year before we attended our first speciality show and where we are now I am truly amazed by what we have achieved.
This time last year we were just heading out to introduce to the world our range of dressings and deli oils for the very first time. I am pleased to report that 1 year on and the world (well at least Yorkshire) seems to like what we have made.
This year we are heading to the show with 2 new dressings and 2 new mayonnaises. We are launching a Smoked Chilli Dressing featuring 'The Chilli Jam Man' and a Fennel Seed Dressing as well as a Classic Mayonnaise and a Garlic Mayonnaise. These will all be rolled out into our stockists over the next few months and you will of course be able to come and try all of them on our market stalls.
Back on the farm we are nearly finished the sheep shearing season, (only 400 left to go) and are in preparation for harvest, which should start for us at the beginning of August. The rapeseed all looks well despite the pigeons best efforts, and although the dry spring weather will mean that potential yields will be down it is not going to be as bad as initially thought.
Dad (Ben) has just returned from his 3 monthly travels just in time for the busy season, I am sure that regular market goers will see him out and about soon.
We have also a busy summer of shows planned this year, we will be at Leeds Food festival on the 1st,2nd and 3rd of July, Yorkshire Show on the 12th 13th and 14th of July Driffield Show on the under the 20th of July and Ryedale on the 26th. We will be easy to spot as we will be there as part of the Deliciously Yorkshire areas in their branded marquees.
Anyway I am sure that that is about enough from me I hope I haven't bored anyone too much with my first blog I will try and blog again soon. I will also badger Dad to get one put up as I am sure he has many tales to tell from his recent trip.
Hope to see you somewhere soon.

Clint Eastwood Net Worth
Clint Eastwood net worth: Clint Eastwood is an American actor, director and producer who has a net worth of $375 million. Clint Eastwood was born on May 31st, 1930 in San Francisco. His father was a migrant worker and steelworker and his mother worked in a factory. His family often had to move throughout the West Coast so his father could find work. They eventually settled in Piedmont, California where Eastwood attended both junior high school and high school. After high school he became interested in acting, though it was an interest he chose not to pursue. Instead he took on a slew of other activities including piano playing, lifeguarding, and even a brief stint in the U.S. Army. He later moved to Los Angeles and married his first wife, Maggie Johnson. One of the lucky breaks he had in the Army would be when he met Chuck Hill. Hill had contacts in the entertainment industry and would later introduce Eastwood to the director of photography Irvine Glassberg who in turn introduced him to director Arthur Libin. Libin was impressed with Eastwood's good looks and movie star appearance. Libin saw potential in Eastwood and suggested he take an acting class. Eastwood followed the advice and began going on auditions. His first part would be in the film Revenge of the Creature. He landed his first big role in the western comedy "Ginger Rogers". This would lead Eastwood to land a few other parts but it was not until 1959 that he was cast in the television series "Rawhide", that his career really took off. The show ran for six seasons and would set up Eastwood as a star of the old west. In 1964 Eastwood was cast in his first iconic role as the "Man with no name" in Sergio Leone's "A fistful of dollars". The character would go on to "For a few more dollars" and "The Good, the bad, and the ugly". The film reconfirmed Eastwood as a western hero and he would go on to star in other westerns such as "Hang em High", "Paint your wagon", and "Two Mules for sister Sara". In 1971, he would take on his other iconic role in the movie "Dirty Harry". The film caused a stir because of it's take on the law enforcement in the 70s. The film also received criticism for the way it portrayed the African American community. Though it was met with some backlash, Dirty Harry would go on to become a classic in American cinema.
Eastwood also made his directorial debut with "Play Misty For Me". The film focused on an obsessive love affair. Though the film wasn't a commercial success it was a critical darling and it proved that Eastwood was more than just a simple actor. His choice to direct would pay off because he would later in the twilight of his career direct more often than act. In fact, his directing has earned him more awards than his acting. He even earned Best Picture Oscars for the movies "Unforgiven" and "Million Dollar Baby". Eastwood has been married twice times and has seven kids.

First Aid Remedy for your gardening medicine chest- #1 Remedy: First in First Aid for its ability to minimize trauma, bleeding, bruises and swelling after accidents and to relieve soreness, muscleaches, back and joint pain after trauma, workout, exertion, childbirth... Arnica comes first in first aid for its ability to minimize bruising, bleeding, swelling, initial shock and pain following injuries, dental work, surgery, childbirth... Whenever backs are lifting and joints are twisting, Arnica can minimize the swelling, bruising and pain that can aggravate the initial trauma. Even with no obvious sign of injury, Arnica helps ease stiffness, muscular soreness and pain following frights, exercise, overexertion, sprains, lifting, or even a strong cough. A dose before and after a workout can minimize the next day's stiffness and help the muscles heal. A dose after any head injury is highly recommended, but don't put off the ambulance just because it feels better. For its importance in minimizing trauma, Arnica should be in every room, playground, purse, tool box, first aid kit, office, sports arena and automobile. --------------------------------------
UPDATE on Important Legislative Issues
While HR 875 (DeLauro's bill) has been the primary target of oppostion via the blogosphere thus far, close scrutiny reveals that HR 759 is even MORE dangerous to small farmers, but HR 875 is still very dangerous, although its apparently only a placeholder bill. The danger in it is that it removes Food from FDA purview putting it under a new Food Agency separate from FDA, while LEAVING dietary supplements AT FDA (as if they are drugs which is how FDA has always thought of them.
This could turn DSHEA on its head.
Dingell's bill, HR 759 is called the Food and Drug Administration Globalization Act of 2009 (Introduced in House) http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.759:
Dingell has been our arch enemy for years.

Will House Bill 875 federalize all farms and ranches in the USA?
This Saturday at 9am Pacific, Michael Olson's Food Chain Radio hosts Pete Kennedy, Acting President of the Farm to Consumer Legal Defense Fund, for a conversation about the impact HB 875 might have on the nation's food chain.
Click the blue to listen on your radio, computer or IPOD: Food Chain Radio
Topics include how HB 875 would place every farm and ranch under the direct supervision of a new federal Food Safety Administration (FSA); how the FSA would have the power to access and inspect every farm in the United States, as well as the customer list of each of those farms; and whether the federalization of the entire food chain would make for a safer food supply.

National Weather Service meteorologists will stop yelling their predictions in written discussions of the day's forecast.
Since the time when weather reports were sent via wires and dial-up phone lines, forecasts have been written in all capital letters – a signal in today's viral computer age that denotes anger, excitement or just an attempt to draw more attention to the text.
But beginning next month, new forecast software will allow the National Weather Service to write in capital and lower case.
"Recent software upgrades to the computer system that forecasters use to produce weather predictions, called AWIPS 2, are allowing for the change to mixed-case letters," the NWS said in a statement. "The switch will happen May 11, after the required 30-day notification period to give customers adequate tie to prepare for the change."
The NWS said it has been asking for the ability to use lower-case letters since the 1990s, when the Internet and email became widely used mediums of communication.
Robert Garcia, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Miami, said forecasters may need some time to get used to the new format, but doesn't think it should be that big of a transition.
"It's kind of weird, but in everything else we write, messages and things, we don't use all caps yelling at each other," Garcia said.
Why the National Hurricane Center worries earlier forecasts may lead to distrust among public.
The official changeover date is May 11 when area forecast discussions, public information statements and regional weather summaries will all include mixed-case lettering.
Severe weather warnings will transition to the new type this summer.
"People are accustomed to reading forecasts in upper case letters and seeing mixed-case might seem strange at first," said NWS meteorologist Art Thomas. "It seemed strange to me until I got used to it over the course of testing the new system, but now it seems normal."
Officials note that forecasters will still have the option to use all caps in weather warnings to emphasize threats during "extremely dangerous situations."

The weekend before last we went to the pretty little seaside town of Shoreham, near Brighton to meet other Shih Tzu owners and their dogs. It was organised by a couple of fellow Shih Tzu owners from a group we belong to, and House of Hugo where the meet was held.
House of Hugo is a luxury hotel for dogs with doggy daycare, grooming, a doggy gym, its own reality TV show, hydrotherapy pool, and branded merchandise. You could say it's a pretty big deal around here!
It was the first ever breed themed meet at House of Hugo, and everybody was incredibly welcoming and friendly towards us and our dogs.
Once in the building (which by the way is huge), we were given a tour of the bedrooms which was what I was most looking forward to. Whenever I go on holiday I leave the girls with my mum, which is great, but means if I want a couple of days away with her then I'm stuck with who to leave the dogs with, as M is away all week with work. What I have done in the past is have my friend (who just happens to be their hair stylist dog groomer) kindly house sit for me, as I know they're being well looked after and are happy spending time with her. So understandably I was keen to see the rooms and facilities.
Aside from having a tour of the hotel we also took Indigo and Molly for a dip in the hydrotherapy pool, as they had never been swimming before, and then took them around the indoor agility course in the doggy gym. There was also a dog show and raffle later in the day, with some great House of Hugo prizes, followed by lunch in the main hall. However it was the hottest day of the year, so we missed this in favour of getting some fresh air.
If you'd like some more information about House of Hugo, you can do so by contacting them via their website which can be found by clicking here.

Hey, did you know that Company of Heroes, the beloved PC RTS game, was getting a film adaptation? No? Neither did anybody else until the trailer hit. How's it look?
Uh, well, see for yourself…
We really hate to say this, but everything about this movie screams "stinker." First of all, the plot seems uncomfortably balanced between retro cheese (THE GERMANS HAVE A NUKE OMG!) and overly solemn "Grandpa was awesome, and then he got shot, because war is tragic" melodrama. It's pretty clear this was intended for theaters at some point, considering the budget is a bit higher than one might expect. Secondly, the cast is of the "anything for a check" variety. Also, we're pretty sure Neal McDonough is legally required to be in every movie about World War II anyway.
Thirdly, it's from Destination Films, mostly notable as Sony's extremely weird direct to video division. Seriously, this is the company that released both the legendarily amusing Bats and Satoishi Kon's classic Tokyo Godfathers: These guys will pretty much put out anything.
Finally, the director, Don Michael Paul is mostly notable for making one of the last Steven Seagal movies to hit theaters and Who's Your Caddy?. He does at least know his film history: A few of the shots are evocative of the classic war film Battleground, although reminding us of a movie that's a lot grittier and has 100% more Khan (Ricardo Montalban is part of Battleground's ensemble cast and it's considered among his finest work) than this movie is likely a bad idea.
No word on a release date yet, but we're betting this hits around the time Company of Heroes 2 comes out, early next year.

CID Lt. William "Scott" Bireley retires after 44 years of service
After more than four decades of serving in law enforcement, Delaware County Criminal Investigation Division (CID) Lieutenant and Bomb Squad Commander William "Scott" Bireley of Aston will be officially retiring from the force on July 11, 2018. Lt. Bireley began his career in law enforcement on December 10, 1973 as a Police Officer for the Chester Police Department. For 15 years, he served the Chester Police Department as a Certified Fire Investigator and expert to the cause and origin in fire and arson-related cases, and as a member of the Chester Police Department Narcotics Unit. Lt. Bireley joined the District Attorney's Criminal Investigation Division as a detective on July 10, 1989, where he served for 29 years and moved up through the ranks. In May 2010, he was promoted to Sergeant and then promoted to Lieutenant in February 2013. Lt. Bireley was named "Policeman of the Year" in 1981, and he is a 2016 honoree of the Philadelphia Crime Commission awards for his investigative work on the June 2015 Yeadon homicide of Thomas Childs that resulted in the conviction of Rodney Talbot Shelton. Lt. Bireley is well-known as a Certified Fire Investigator and bomb expert, and as a result, he has been called in to assist and provide expertise on cases in the Philadelphia region, and across the country.
"On behalf of the District Attorney's Office, we wish Lt. Bireley the best in his well-deserved retirement after more than four decades of dedicated service to the residents of Delaware County," said District Attorney Katayoun M. Copeland. "As one of the best arson and explosives experts in the region, Lt. Bireley will be greatly missed, and there is no question that his years of dedicated service have made Delaware County a safer place to live, work and raise a family for our residents."
Photo caption: On June 28, 2018, Lt. William "Scott" Bireley was joined by CID detectives and staff, colleagues, former peers, and family to be recognized for his longtime service at the retirement celebration held at the Kings Mills in Aston.

One of the things that I've had a lot of fun with is building a sophisticated search engine where I (and you) can do things like find songs that someone has tagged as Waltz and someone else has tagged as Foxtrot. Or find all swing songs that are in a particular tempo range. There are lots of neat things that you can do with the Advanced Search system if you've got some knowledge of dance and music and want to dig deep into these corners of the music4dance catalog.
But what if you just want to search through the catalog the same way you would on Google or Bing? For instance, what if you're looking for a song that has been tagged as Wedding and has the words "Love" and "Time" in it? With simple search you can just type Wedding Love Time into the search box and you'll get some useful results. You can further refine the search by using some of the standard search modifiers like + and – and putting quotes (") around phrases to be more precise about your searches (for instance try "First Dance" +Foxtrot +Rock). But if you're the type that doesn't bother with that on Google you should be fine not worrying about it here as well.
More information is available on the help page but you should be able to go to Simple Search from the "Music" menu on the music4dance home page and dive right in.
This is a BETA feature because I haven't fully integrated this search with the basic and advanced search features, so let me know what you're missing the most in this simple search method and I'll get those pulled back in first. As always, please send me feedback or just respond to this post with any issues or ideas.

This carving is in Butternut, approximately 3 feet tall and about 12" wide. I was asked to carve it for someone who was no longer able to continue to carve. It was a facinating project, the first time I had done anything like it. I found the butternut wood to be a little tough to go cross grain but other than that it finished up well. The important part is the working through the project and enjoyment that it brought the individual.

Wow, very nice! 3' tall! That sure makes a statement!

Good work, I can't imagine carving for a carver that could no longer carve. It had to be very emotional and it is expressed in your carving. You can feel his pain.

Thank you for saying that. I didn't know how. I don't think I have ever been so tied up in knots over a carving. The gentle man I carved for is so very good. When I delivered it, I wanted to stick it in the door and leave before he said anything. He was so very appreciative and left me feeling that passion counts.

A pool filter is a sand-filled pressure vessel that cleans pool water as it passes through the vessel. A Pool filter removes impurities such as dirt, leaves, grass, hair and even removes bacteria from a swimming pools water. Pool filters are simple, effective and require very little attention.
A Pentair pool filter will help keep your swimming pool water clean, clear and inviting all year round.
Pool Filters
The Triton sand filter has set the industry standard for effectiveness, efficiency, long runs between service and providing years of dependable, low maintenance operation. Triton features a special internal design that keeps the sand bed level, ensuring even water flow and resulting in the most efficient filtration possible.
Thanks to patented ClearPro Technology, Triton II now produces dazzling water clarity. However, Triton II remains blissfully simple, requiring less maintenance than either cartridge or D.E. filters. Just an occasional backwashing with a simple turn of a valve for the clearest water, year after year.
Traditional sand filters can only remove particles in the 50–100 micron range, but the Tagelus filter with ClearPro Technology removes particles up to five times smaller…well below what your eye can detect. And that's the difference between a clean pool and one that truly sparkles with clarity.
Cristal-Flo™ sand filters will keep your pool water crystal clear and sparkling clean for years. The Cristal-Flo™ filter is the perfect high performance sand filter. It's incredibly simple to operate and maintain, and it's built with long-term reliability in mind.

Why we need to talk about suicide
Posted on 6th February 2017 at 10:46
It doesn't matter what angle you come at this topic – the question "why?" is there. To those left behind when someone has completed suicide "why?" is the burning, spear of agony that destroys sleep, destroys relationships and often destroys lives.
More than 6000 people a year end their own lives in the UK and that figure is growing. Why?
Every 4 minutes in the UK someone attempts suicide – once every 90 minutes someone succeeds.
These figures are shocking and bewildering to most who read about them, and a nightmare for those directly affected so who or what is responsible?
The answers inevitably are complex and varied and it is too easy for those of us not on the frontline to think it's tragic but there's nothing I can do. Wrong. There are things we can all do:

Development and Peace
The role of Moral and Ethical Values through spiritual practices is not only important, but foundation of global peace.
The word " Development " is commonly used in public life. It is essential to understand this so called Development in terms of its impact on human life and society, its contribution to our planet and its strength on sustainability. The Development can be economic, mental and social. Where all have different results. Therefore, we must study before making a plan for the development. It may help the society and it may have adverse impact on the society. It needs carefull handling.
Peace is nothing to do with Development and if we want peace on this planet, it can not be achieved by only dialogues, it needs trust, values and inspirations, which can be gathered through the spiritual belief and followings.
Therefore, it is suggested that religious and spiritual path must be adopted for long lasting and assured results in any kind of conflict or differences amongst us, society or huminity.

Recently I've heard Archive.org name dropped by a few friends of mine, especially in regard to their live music archive. I checked it out, and I can say that I'm very impressed. For a long time lots of bands, mostly of the jam band variety, have allowed for fans to tape their live shows and trade them. Archive.org's Live Music Archive just provides a good clearinghouse for all of these files. The files are only from artists who have given the ok for them to be posted, and they allow any band to opt out if they want. Much of this work has been done by eTree already, but Archive.org provides much better UI then the esoteric eTree community.
A big bonus for me it that the files are provided in lossless formats (SHN or FLAC) instead of lossy formats like MP3. I can't call myself a huge audio snob, but MP3s do seem to be missing a bit of *ommmph* to me compared with CD audio. While almost all the bands are jam bands of some sort, there is still a very interesting range of musical styles. Below are some of my favorites that I've pulled from the site.
Mutual Admiration Society – This band is a funky combo of the bluegrass band Nickel Creek, former Toad the Wet Sprocket frontman Glen Phillips and ex-Led Zeppelin bass player John Paul Jones. Check out this concert for instrumental virtuosity, insightful lyrics and an excellent recording job.
Ryan Adams – One of the starters of the current alt-country surge. I enjoy both his older, quieter music and his newer, more rocking numbers. The only downside is Adams' rambling on-stage dialog, perhaps some people find it endearing, but it just bugs me.
Bela Fleck and the Flecktones – The Flecktones are another band that is difficult to fit into a normal genre. The Flecktones play jazz-fusion tunes, lead by Bela Fleck on the banjo and Victor Wooten (arguably the world's best bass player) on the bass. Check out a great recording (from on-stage mics) here.
Soul Coughing – You might know them from the radio song "Circles." But they have a bunch of other great songs. Check out Moon Sammy, Super Bon Bon and Janine on this show.
Robert Randolph and the Family Band – Randolph has gained a lot of attention recently for his pedal steel guitar playing, appearing on the cover of Guitar Player and at Eric Clapton's Crossroads guitar festival. Check out the band in excellent form here.
Other Bands:
Progressive Rock – Godspeed You Black Emperor, Mogwai
College Alternative – Guster, Jason Mraz, Of a Revolution, Jack Johnson
Jam Bands – Rusted Root, Grateful Dead (Everyone should try them at least once)
Rock - …And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead

Setting up a self-hosted ELK Stack¶
This tutorial will walk you through setting up a self-hosted Elasticsearch - Logstash - Kibana (ELK) stack on Aptible Deploy.
Create an Elasticsearch Database¶
Use the
aptible db:create command to create a new Elasticsearch
aptible db:create "$DB_HANDLE" --type elasticsearch
Add the
--size X option to provision a larger-than-default Database.
Set up a Log Drain¶
In the Dashboard, create a new Log Drain:
Then, select Elasticsearch as the destination
Finally, save the Log Drain:
Set up Kibana¶
Kibana is an open source, browser-based analytics and search dashboard for Elasticsearch.
Follow the instructions at aptible/docker-kibana to deploy Kibana on Aptible Deploy.
Set up Log Rotation¶
If you let logs accumulate in Elasticsearch, you'll need more and more RAM and disk space to store them. To avoid this, set up log archiving.
We recommend archiving logs to S3. Follow the instructions at aptible/elasticsearch-logstash-s3-backup to do so.
