Martha's Vineyard Film Center, Vineyard Haven, MA.
The 3rd Annual Spectrum (LGBTQ+) Film Festival opens Friday, May 1-3, 2020
Spectrum is a four-day film festival that presents a world perspective on LGBTQ+ stories, people, and issues through a variety of films and includes guest speakers, discussions, and a special event for LGBTQ+ youth. The 2019 SPECTRUM Film Festival will be held at the Martha's Vineyard Film Center in Vineyard Haven from Friday, May 1st, 2020 through Sunday, May 3rd, 2020.
The first and only festival of its kind on the Vineyard, the SPECTRUM Film Festival adds to the Film Society's consistent efforts to broach subject matter not usually covered by major Hollywood motion pictures. The Festival draws moviegoers from the Cape Cod & Islands as well as the greater Boston area.
Following the theme implied by the name of the festival– "Spectrum" or 'Wide-Ranging'– the films we show at the SPECTRUM Film Festival are wide-ranging, indeed. They originate from various countries; cover gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender story-lines; combine comedy, drama, romance, documentary genres in both short and full-length formats; and focus on a variety of topics including legal matters, aging, parent-child relationships, religion, cultural changes, illness, and suicide.
The Martha's Vineyard Film Society announces that its third annual SPECTRUM Film Festival to be held from Thursday, April 25 to Sunday, April 28 with eighteen different events in four different venues over the course of the festival.
Focused on presenting a wide spectrum of LGBTQ stories, people and issues, this year's festival has grown significantly with the addition of collaborative partnerships with other Vineyard non-profits: Featherstone Center for the Arts, Martha's Vineyard Playhouse, Alex's Place (the teen center at the Y), The Animal Shelter of Martha's Vineyard, and the Martha's Vineyard Library Association. Apart from screening fifteen feature films, this year's offerings include a live theatre play reading, a discussion of this year's all-island "Teen Read" novel DEAR RACHEL MADDOW with author Adrienne Kisner in attendance, a white-line printing workshop at Featherstone, a writing and art contest open to all middle- and high-school students, as well as an Open House for parents and teens at Alex's Place. Thanks to local sponsors, like MV Bank and Tilton Rental, several events this year are free to the public and, like last year, tickets for teens to all events are free.
A variety of guests will also appear in recorded video messages introducing many of the films. Currently among those submitting are U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg, the Mount Holyoke College a cappella group the Victory Eights, members of the NYC Gay Men's Chorus, and several of the producers and directors of our 2019 festival films.
The variety of feature films to be shown this year includes narrative films about advocates of gay rights activists, poet Emily Dickinson, members of the South African military choir, and Oscar Wilde. Documentary subjects range from dog rescue and Studio 54 to lesbian film history and transgender bodybuilding competition. There is also a youth event, an evening of award-winning short films, and the New England premiere of the current production of Matthew Bourne's SWAN LAKE (now touring the UK). Festival screenings will be not only at The MV Film Center this year but also at The MV Playhouse which will also be home to a reading of Terrence McNally's play MOTHERS AND SONS.
This year's Opening Night Event starts off with a festival welcome message from Senator Elizabeth Warren followed by GREAT SHORTS, a compilation of nine award-winning short films (including the recent Oscar nominee MARGUERITE). These films cover the spectrum of LGBTQ representation and include the world premiere of MORE THAN HE KNOWS, a narrative short directed by GLAAD Media Award-winner Fiona Dawson (director of last year's documentary TRANSMILITARY) who will be in attendance to conduct a post-screening Q&A. A post-show dessert and wine reception (sponsored by Tilton Tents) concludes the evening.
This year, all monies raised from the sale of festival t-shirts will benefit four of this year's SPECTRUM collaborators: The Martha's Vineyard Library Association (for the purchase of additional young adult novels for LGBTQIA youth), The Animal Shelter of MV (to pay for spaying and neutering), Alex's Place teen center (for youth programming) and MVRHS's Gay-Straight Alliance (for student field trips).
Tickets for SPECTRUM events can be purchased on the MV Film Society Website or at the door (pending availability).
All-Access Pass Holders will receive entrance to all events except MOTHERS AND SONS and the White-Line Printing workshop at Featherstone.

Object Title
Centrefire automatic rifle - Kalashnikov AKMSU
about 1977
Object Number
Gifted with the Pattern Room by the Ministry of Defence, August 2005
Physical Description
Ostensibly a 7.62x39 equivalent of the AKS-74U, though examination and communication with Russian specialists makes clear that this is a composite piece that was never adopted by the Russian authorities. The receiver is Chinese, with two rivets per side on the trigger guard interface and thicker gauge stamped steel in the receiver itself. The trunnion block is Russian original and is marked for Tula, dated 1977. This is five years after development began on the 5.45x39 AKS-74U, making this an unlikely development. The flash-hider is well-made, but conforms to no known factory-produced type, and is extremely loose-fitting. Weapon is believed to have originated in Afghanistan or Pakistan, and to be a product of local gunsmiths known to produce fantasy pieces of this nature. Despite this, Royal Ordnance produced a report (RD/PR/49/86 - Evaluation of the Soviet 5.45mm RPK 74, 5.45mm AKS 74, 5.45mm AK SU and 7.62mm AKM SU - see PR archive foreign weapons box files). This gives no provenance for the piece, but assumes it to be a failed forerunner of the AKS-74U. It details firing tests carried out and includes a photograph of the impressive muzzle flash produced by such a short-barrelled 7.62x39 weapon type

Surfing Patch – Endless Summer Scene
This nice 100% embroidered rectangle patch depicts the classic Endless Summer Poster Scene known around the world.
ts title comes from the idea, expressed at both the beginning and end of the film, that if one had enough time and money it would be possible to follow the summer up and down the world (northern to southern hemisphere and back), making it endless. The concept of the film was born through the suggestion of a travel agent to Bruce Brown during the planning stages of the film. The travel agent suggested that the flight from Los Angeles to Cape Town, South Africa and back would cost $50 more than a trip circumnavigating the world.
After which, Bruce came up with the idea of following the summer season by traveling up and down the world.
Measures: 2.5″ W x 3.5″ H

This past weekend, The Boy and I were in Utah with my family for our annual trip to an amusement park. When we returned on Monday evening, the kittehs were not happy with us. We had, after all, been gone for days or months or years.
Never fear. I am very good at buying forgiveness.
I stepped out onto the porch to get the mail. Obi went to the door with me, ever obsessed with the possibility of a miller. About 20 flew out of the mailbox as I pulled the envelopes out. They were gone before I had a chance to react.
As I stepped inside, though, I saw wings fluttering on the stack of papers in my hand. "Obi! You've got mail." I held the envelope down at kitten height. A happy brown kitten knocked the miller to the floor, then took his moth to the cave to play.
Oliver required a gift as well: my stinky shoes.

I hope everyone is enjoying a wonderful Friday! Our week has continued to be busy with preparing for our trip to Michigan. Most of the cleaning and organizing is done now, but most of the packing still is not. We leave tomorrow morning and will be gone for two weeks. It will be wonderful for Lewis to get to see his grandparents and everyone else on Chris' side of the family, and he is quite excited about the trip! (Although I think he will be a little less excited once he realizes we are spending two days in the car before actually getting there!) We'll have limited internet access and I'm not bringing my laptop along, so I won't be updating here at all in the next two weeks. But I promise lots of photos and stories when we return!
Month: June 2014
Jam-Packed Weekend Fun
Summer is such a wonderful time with so many options of fun things to do, and we have been very busy here trying to do a little bit of everything! We also are leaving this Saturday for a trip out to Michigan to visit Chris' family, and planning and packing for our trip is adding an extra level of busyness to our days this week.
Lewis is at such a wonderful age right now. Old enough to have fun going out and doing things, and to really participate, but the world is still new enough to him that every little thing is still a fun adventure!
Saturday morning we were busy running errands. First a quick trip to the AT&T store, then we split up and Lewis and Daddy went to Pet Smart and Barnes & Noble while I went to get my hair cut. Lewis loves the pet store and all the different animals that can be seen there. Barnes & Noble has a fun train set and other cool things in their kid's section, but unfortunately the one near us is closing soon. Once we met back up after my hair cut, we had to head over to Target for a few things (and yes, we came out with three times as much as what we went in for).
We went home, had lunch and a nap, and then on to the next busy thing: Lewis' first trip to Hoffman's Playland! Hoffman's is a small local amusement park with a lot of rides geared specifically towards young children. This trip was organized as a family day by Chris' work. We ran into a few other family's there but mostly wandered around doing our own thing.
We started out with Lewis and Daddy riding the carousel, then moved on to the boat ride which someone had recommended to us.
This was Lewis' first time riding on a ride all by himself, and we were very proud of him for having fun and not freaking out that Mommy and Daddy were standing outside the fence.
After the boats Lewis and I rode a hot-air-balloon ride together, and then we discovered one of his favorite things at the park: A Humpty Dumpty statue!
We went in the arcade area and Lewis sat on a couple of games there but we didn't actually play anything. He also rode on a caterpillar train thingy with Daddy.
We wandered around a bit more, then discovered that we had lost Lewis' wrist band (which he had refused to use so it had been going in and out of Daddy's and my pockets.) It was getting towards dinner time anyway so we posed with Lewis' most favorite thing at the park: The Clown trash cans!!! We had just enough tickets for the three of us to ride the carousel one more time together, then we left to go get dinner.
Sunday was another busy day for us. We decided to go strawberry picking in the morning because it was pretty much our only chance to go: by the time we get back from Michigan and then go to Vermont for a reunion with my extended family strawberries aren't going to be in season any more.
We normally go to Bowman's Orchard for apple and strawberry picking, but they don't open until noon on Sundays, so we decided to give Altamont Orchards a try instead. It was a bit farther of a drive, but we liked the atmosphere there and will probably go there again for our strawberry needs next summer.
I wasn't really sure what to expect from Lewis, but he did great. He stayed on the paths between bushes, and asked me or Daddy for help when he wanted to hop over to another row. He also (mostly) only picked berries that Daddy or I showed him were good and ripe, and didn't try to eat anything disgusting. Win!
After lunch and nap at home again, Sunday afternoon was time for a swim in the pool before heading out for our weekly grocery shop.
It was a very busy weekend, but definitely fun and worth all the busyness!
ICAD With A Toddler
As you have probably noticed recently if you've been reading my blog, I am having a lot of fun creating daily index cards with the ICAD challenge from Daisy Yellow. Tammy, who writes the Daisy Yellow blog and runs the ICAD challenge each year is very supportive of the idea of children participating in the challenge too, and even has a special FAQ page dedicated to a kid-version of ICAD. When I decided to do the challenge I knew I wanted to get Lewis involved too. He loves art projects, especially getting to explore Mama's supplies.
I'm keeping it relaxed with him, not pushing him to create when he doesn't want to, and trying not to interfere with his creative process when he is creating. We've only missed two or three days so far, but he has also created multiple cards on some days so it actually evens out to him being approximately on-track with the challenge. When we first started I thought he would create maybe one or two cards here and there, but he's really gotten into the creativity more than I ever expected.
I love art and creative expression, and I try to keep art a part of Lewis' daily life as well. He has his own "art drawer" alongside all of my art materials, and free access to paper, markers, stickers, colored pencils and washi tape. Pens, pencils, crayons, and chalk are all readily available for him to use as well. However, I've found that starting this challenge with him has made me even more open and ready to let him explore a variety of art materials at any time of the day. It's so easy to grab an index card (or three) and sit down with a few materials to start creating. I've been trying hard not to say "no" if he ever asks for art materials or shows an interest in creating. He spots the glue stick up on the table and asks for it? Great! Lets sit down together, find some paper we can cut or tear up, and glue it on a card! He spotted me writing on the grocery list and wants to use my pen? Sure! Here's an index card to 'write' on!
Some days I suggest art materials or lay them out for him to find, other days I wait for him to find his own inspiration. Some of his cards have come from letting him explore the same materials I used on my card that day, other times it is just a case of him wanting to use his markers. For his stamped card I laid out a few stamps on the table one day and waited for him to notice them. When he did, I asked if he'd like to give them a try and we sat down together to explore stamping.
The index cards seem to be a fun size for him to work on. I've seen some suggestions to give toddlers huge paper, big enough so they can paint or color in the full area of where there arm can reach, and of course this is fun and a good art activity sometimes. But, I think tiny paper is just as appropriate. He seems to have no trouble creating his art in the small space, and if I am worried about mess I just place the card on top of some bigger paper or a newspaper. Often these cards seem just-right for his toddler sized attention span. Sometimes he wants to continue creating after he's done one, but there have also been many times when one card seems to be just the right dose of art.
We are having such a great time creating art together and exploring all these materials. I can't wait to see what Lewis creates throughout the rest of this challenge (and beyond)!
Photo Friday
Happy Beautiful Sunny Summery Friday everyone! It's been quite nice weather here all week, so of course we have been enjoying as much outdoors time as possible. Last weekend we went to the Strawberry Festival. Lewis enjoyed some strawberry shortcake for his lunch (we had real food first, but he wasn't in the mood for most of what Mommy and Daddy picked, and pretty much just ate part of a pickle and a few bites of hamburger, but once we got dessert he decided he was hungry after all!) Lewis and I also went swimming this week for the first time this summer. The water was still rather chilly which Lewis wasn't sure he liked, but he did have fun sitting on the edge with his feet in and making wet hand prints along the side.
ICAD Week 2
Here are my cards from week 2 of ICAD! I'm a bit late getting these posted, which doesn't surprise me since Photo Friday seems to be the only thing I reliably post anymore.
I'm still having a lot of fun with this and enjoying exploring different materials and techniques with my cards. Lewis has continued to join in too, and I'm finding that the challenge is helping me be a bit more adventurous with which craft supplies I allow him to try out.
The theme for Week Two was "Collage and glued creations," which I sometimes followed and sometimes did not, which is pretty normal for my art anyway. I did the same with the daily prompts, sometimes using them and sometimes not. So here are the cards!
#8. Mandala. This one I did use cut and glued paper, with some doodling over top. The background is watercolor.
#9. Prompt was alphabet, which I disregarded in favor of doodling another mandala on another watercolor background.
#10. The Beatles. Thought about which song would be the most fun to create a card from, decided to learn to draw a walrus. Just used pencil, and followed a "how to draw a walrus" guide I found online.
#11. Disregarded "toy camera" prompt. Created some found poetry by altering a book page, and attached on a card which was already decorated with a marker background.
#12. Paisley. Doodles on watercolor. Had fun drawing these, but prefer the regularity of mandalas.
#13. Skipped "book review" prompt. Got crazy idea to glue yarn onto card. Sketched a simple pencil outline of a flower, started adding yarn. Did not have fun. Very fiddly and my hands were covered in glue. Had to take a break after a while and come back to finish it in the evening because I was getting too annoyed with it. I like the finished product though!
#14. Magenta. Dug through my art supplies and junk mail for anything magenta I could find. Used a bit of everything. Crayon, various colored pencils, marker, watercolors, two kinds of tape, collage bits.
When I took my photo of all the cards together I was thinking that they seem very unrelated in terms of materials/subject/style/whatever, but now that I've listed these seven together I am seeing somewhat of a common thread with flowers/mandalas/doodles and also the watercolor backgrounds. It will be interesting to see how ALL the cards look together at the end of July!
Photo Friday
It's been a bit of a rainy week here. Lewis and I have been keeping very busy with art, dinosaurs, a bin full of rice, hide & seek, puddle splashing, play-doh, and much more! We're a bit tired of being cooped up inside, but lucky for us this weekend is supposed to be more nice weather and tomorrow is the strawberry festival!
ICAD Week 1 In Review
The first week of ICAD is complete! If you haven't joined in on the fun yet, there is still time – there is no right or wrong way of doing this.
I have been having fun creating this week, setting aside some time for myself once Lewis goes down for his daily nap, or sometimes working together with him while he does his own coloring/painting/whatever. The weekly theme was "Text" and I think I managed to include some form of writing on each of my cards. I followed the daily prompts every day except one, but I think I may choose to move away from the prompts a bit more as the challenge goes on. So, here are my cards for the week!
#1. The prompt was "Prism." I sketched the prism and rainbow, colored the rainbow with Crayola washable markers, then painted on water to bleed the colors. Wrote the haiku with Super Fine point Sharpies, then dabbed black ink all around for the background.
#2. The prompt was "Circus Tent" which I chose to skip. When I finished the Prism card, I showed it to Chris and declared "1 down, 6o more to go!" His response was "Good luck with that!" When I saw this same phrase on a newspaper headline the next day I knew I needed to work it into a card. Watercolor background, pen, and cut-out phrases glued on.
#3. "My Name Is." Simple colored pencil drawing.
#4. Puzzle. Crossword puzzle with a quote written onto it, doodles, some squares colored in black, and a bit of paint.
#5. Galaxy. Wasn't sure where to go with this prompt, so I started looking through my box of random papers/junk mail/etc. I have collected, and found this Justice League comic book, which came out of a cereal box. Collage made all from pieces cut from the comic.
#6. Nail Polish. Previously made background with watercolors and watercolor pencils. Dripped and dribbled on teal nail polish. Glued on words.
#7. Yellow. Collage bits with yellow, orange, and black doodles. This is basically a mini version of a journal page I did a while ago, but it's what came to mind when I read the prompt.
That's it for this week! I'm having a lot of fun and enjoying the added creativity in my days. The challenge is already getting me to try new things and use materials that have been sitting around unused for ages. Stay tuned for more weekly installments of ICAD cards, and at some point a post about creating cards with Lewis (yes, I know, the toddler cuteness is the real reason you all read my blog.)

The singers that inspired me was from the Temptations; Eddie Kendrick's was a great inspiration because of his high pitch tenor, David Ruffin, who had that old soul of a raspy voice, Paul Williams, who wasn't afraid to take big risks, Otis Williams who knew how to come in with the harmony and Melvin because of his great bass drive.
I have no set sound; I love and enjoy every bit of music. I want to go above and beyond the peek of music. I want my audience to experience a life changing move of music. I believe
life is music and music is life. I want my audience to say to themself "Kenny Sway music inspired them to move on and hold back nothing from life". I want my audience to know, that my gift is from God, and when I sing; I want the audience to experience the love and heart of Jesus Christ in any song that I sing and know that we as one can make the world a better place for all man kind; living in peace and harmony.
My first song after elementary school, was a song called (Relax). I grew and matured in my music, performing in Washington, DC whenever and where ever I could perform with my band the Unknown; most of the time we perform on the streets of Washington, DC. My music has touched everyone and moved them in one way or another. I want to thank everyone that has supported me and those who continue to support me and continue to believe in me, thank you. Remember, your dreams are already your reality; for God I live and for God I'll die. Hear me, see me on Youtube-Kenny Sway, Instagram- kenny_Sway, Viemo-Kenny Sway and SoundCloud-Kenny Sway.
Jenna Glatt is an exceptionally gifted soulful singing sensation with an impressive track record. Raised in Ottawa, Canada, Jenna began singing when she was very young, winning her first competition at age 8 which was followed by her first professional gig a few months later on Parliament Hill as part of the Canada Day Celebrations. Jenna knew from that moment on that this is what she was born to do.
This accomplished Canadian singer/songwriter has earned many awards and accolades over the years and is a Berklee (Boston) Grad. Jenna has appeared at many international music festivals and venues as well as on radio and television programs and has been collaborating with top level producers and songwriters in New York City, Los Angeles, Houston, Dallas, Nashville, Atlanta, Toronto, and Copenhagen.
Jenna's third album (R&B/Pop) of all original music is currently getting world-wide airplay in Canada, the US, and across Europe and she has been highlighted in many magazines and on numerous online stations/websites where she has been chosen as their featured artist.
Having massive international appeal, Jenna is the next Canadian superstar.
Actual Villains is a new project launched late 2015 by Andrew DeNeef & Jj Cooper the driving force behind Close to Home (Razor & tie records/ Artery Recordings 2010-2015).
One thing is clearly different about Actual Villains sound transitioning from Close to home. There's a more serious tone and the song writing has matured. They've turned away from breakdowns & screaming vocals that once defined them as a metal band and directed their focus into writing their catchiest, most real songs yet.
This hard hitting upbeat 4-piece has written a very diverse but cohesive debut self-titled EP, out now. (April 1st 2016).
Actual Villains sound seamlessly combines elements of pop punk and an active rock/radio rock sound reminiscent of bands like Taking back Sunday, Mayday parade, The red jumpsuit apparatus, Papa Roach, A Day to Remember, and Bring me the horizon.
The debut single titled Cave in is out now and getting radio play in southern Ohio and beyond. The band is currently gearing up to release their second single "Stay tonight" with a music video.
A native of Bridgeport, Connecticut, Solomon grew up as a PK (Preachers Kid) and was exposed to the ministry of music early in his childhood. He is the oldest of three siblings and began playing the bass guitar at age 15 with his familys gospel quartet, The Edmond Family. Solomons passion for playing the keyboard ultimately lead him to a career as a minister of music for over 25 years. He has since began focusing on the creation and production of the music that has always been a part of his being yet was forbidden to be expressed...Love Songs and Life Music!
In 1977, he moved to Atlanta, Georgia to attend the Atlanta College of Arts and pursue a degree in graphic design. He was very excited about a promising future as a design artist and dreamed of one day owning his own graphic design company. But little did he know, there would be a divine interruption of his plans one that almost took his life. While attending college, Solomon became deathly ill and had to drop out of school. He moved back home with his parents in South Georgia and was convalescent for several years. He was finally diagnosed with Sarcoidosis of the lungs.
Solomon made his debut in the Life Music category with his release of Together Again in 2007, a soulful compilation of jazz, rooted in gospel with a mild mix of Latin and R&B beats. The CD is a tribute to his first cousin, Jonathan Dubose. Solomon has since released CDs entitled Love Language, The B-Side, Smooth Soul and LIV. His latest release is entitled Your Face.

A star is type of astronomical object consisting of a luminous spheroid of plasma held together by its own gravity. The nearest star to Earth is the Sun. Many other stars are visible to the naked eye from Earth during the night, appearing as a multitude of fixed luminous points in the sky due to their immense distance from Earth. Historically, the most prominent stars were grouped into constellations and asterisms, the brightest of which gained proper names. Astronomers have assembled star catalogues that identify the known stars and provide standardized stellar designations. However, most of the stars in the Universe, including all stars outside our galaxy, the Milky Way, are invisible to the naked eye from Earth. Indeed, most are invisible from Earth even through the most powerful telescopes.
Binary and multi-star systems consist of two or more stars that are gravitationally bound and generally move around each other in stable orbits. When two such stars have a relatively close orbit, their gravitational interaction can have a significant impact on their evolution. Stars can form part of a much larger gravitationally bound structure, such as a star cluster or a galaxy.

Last weekend the Premiers, Division 1, Colts and Division 2 sides played at Vogeltown Park in fine and warm conditions. The Premiers, Division 1 and Colts sides played Inglewood while the Division 2 side played Toko.
The BCD Premiers hard to fight hard against Ingelwood before coming away with a 23-20 victory. Old Boys started well with a sustained period on attack leading to a penalty for Old Boys to lead 3 nil. Inglewood then got onto attack and scored after a line-out drive which was converted. Late in the first half Jackson Carrington scored in the corner to lead 8 – 7 at half time. The second half was a pulsating affair with Old Boys kicking a penalty followed by a well taken unconverted try to Inglewood from a chip & chase for them to lead 12-11. Old Boys then had a period on attack and Jamarl Hapi scored out wide to lead 16 12. Inglewood then kicked a penalty before prop Victor Beech crashed over for a converted try to have Old Boys in front 23-15 with 10 minutes left on the clock. Inglewood bounced back well to score to trail by 3 points into the final minutes but Old Boys defence held allowing them to hold on for a 23-20 victory. Unfortunately key players Jamarl Hapi, Regan Verny, Brayton Northcott-Hill and Mitch O'Neill picked up injuries that will likely see them on the sidelines for a couple of weeks. Players to stand-out for Old Boys were Michael Loft, Jayden Ford and Regan Verney. The Premiers finished the round in 6th position 6 points behind 1st round winners Coastal (3 points now that the points are halved) in what is turning out to be a closely contested competition.
Alsco Division 1 played positive rugby for much of its match but couldn't overhaul Inglewood going down 36-27. Up 27-14 after 10 minutes into the 2nd half, Old Boys needed to consolidate and focus on keeping Inglewood pinned in there half. Instead, a number missed tackles allowed Inglewood to gain valuable territory and momentum to see them run out winners 36-27 denying Old Boys valuable points. The result will be a valuable lesson team going into a big game against Southern this coming weekend, the first of the second round. Some soul searching and commitment are required if this team wishes to play 7 or 9 more weeks of rugby. The team, very capable with good attacking structure, will need to harden its resolve defensively for the next few weeks. The team welcomes back Ant Taylor and Luke Nolly this weekend as well as the input of Gerard Mills from Premier duty. Player-of-the-Day match was Sean McKerrow for an 80 minute effort both on attack and defence. The team finished Round 1 in 3rd position, 6 points behind leaders Coastal.
Pepper Construction Ltd Colts finished Round 1 with a 54-13 victory over Inglewood. Leading up to the match the Coaches have had the luxury of a large squad (27) to choose from but with a number of injuries and the unavailability of other players the team went into Saturday's game with 19 players and no back reserves. While scoring plenty of tries the team was unable to play the game at a pace and with the width they wanted and lacked accuracy in execution in various parts of the field, in particular in its own 22. Inglewood used its huge forward pack to good effect on the back of a high penalty account in its favour to pressure the Old Boys defence scoring 5 tries in the process. The injury toll continues to rise with Terrell Erwood joined by midfielder William Luff meaning the pressure will be on the midfield in the upcoming weeks. Old Boys finished Round 1 unbeaten and as a team are pretty clear about how they want to continue to play the game and what areas need to be worked on. Cullen Murfitt continues to knock goals over from all over the park – he has now scored 86 points with 71 from the boot. Jarrod Ritson and Finn Hosking have scored 5 tries each. The team has scored 264 points and has had 104 scored against.
The Sterile Services Division 2 side enjoyed a tough match against Toko. It's great to see Toko field a side this year, as it looked at one point that they would have to pull out due to lack of playing numbers. Games versus Toko have traditionally been a forward battle and so it was again. Old Boys was fortunate enough to have sufficient players ourselves and fronted up well in the first quarter of the game. Toko scored first and Old Boys replied quickly with winger Rikky Enoka managing to evade a few tacklers scoring in the corner. Just before the half time whistle Toko managed to score again out wide after creating an overlap. The second half was much of the same with the battle being up front with Riaan Du Plooy tackling his heart out and Brent Cannard doing a great job in the front row. Unfortunately Old Boys was not able to score anymore points and as they began to tire Toko capitalised to score 2 more converted tries to take the final score 24-5. Belying his size and stature, Mike Carruthers fronted up brilliantly all game and tackled tirelessly to take the Player-of-the-Day award.
The NPOB Junior Club enjoyed another full morning of matches around the province on a perfect day for footy. This season the Junior Club has around 280 registered players and is fielding 17 teams in the U6 to U13 grades. The commitment and skill level of all players is very impressive and all games are played in great spirit. The Club would like to thank coaches and managers for all of their efforts and the enthusiastic parents who cheer from the sidelines positively.
Off the field the Club held an enjoyable social night at the White House on Saturday night with a golfing theme. All teams were well represented.
This weekend (18th May) sees the start of Round 2 with all senior sides playing at Vogeltown Park. All teams will be looking to start the 2nd half of the season well. Matches details are as follows:
Other key events and dates over the coming months are:
Updates on these events will be provided in due course.
The Club produced an Anniversary book for the past 100 years (Authors Chesty Earle, Paul O'Neill, Alistair & Marilyn Reid) and we still have some available @ $25.00 each. This is a great record of the history of the Club and would make a wonderful addition to your book collection or as a gift.

I love saving money and finding a good deal, especially when it is easy to do and not overly time consuming. That is why I am happy to share a great money-saving special now through Thursday, April 30th, 2015 at Walmart for their Stock Up and Save Event! During this limited time promotion, shoppers can save some serious cash while purchasing P & G products that we use and shop for all the time. I love how this sale allows me to buy items I personally need and that my household uses at rollback pricing and super low prices!
We live only minutes from a local Walmart location, so for sales like this one it is simple for me to pick up (and stock up!) on items I know we love from Proctor & Gamble. Here is a listing of some items from the sale that you can add to your shopping list:
· Tide Liquid Laundry Detergent
· Tide Simply Clean and Fresh Liquid Laundry Detergent
· Charmin Ultra Soft or Ultra Strong Toilet Paper
· Bounty Mega Roll Select-A-Size Paper Towels
· Luvs Super Absorbent Diapers
· Pampers Swaddlers Huge Pack
· Tampax Pearl Plastic, Super Absorbency

When my kids were babies, I used both the Pampers and Luvs brands and can attest that they are soft, snuggly and keep your baby and their sensitive skin as dry as possible!
When I was at Walmart, I picked up Bounty Mega Roll Select-A-Size paper towels and love how easy they make kitchen clean ups! With two very active and sometimes messy kids, it can take a lot of effort to keep your kitchen and living room clean especially after we do our #CookingWithKids when I let them take culinary control! Tough enough to last more than one wipe and absorbent for those juice and milk spills, they are always something I like to stock up on!
Keeping with the "active kids" tradition, doing a lot of laundry comes with the territory! Stock up on Tide detergent and get set for the summer! With sports, swim and camp you can pretty much guarantee your laundry detergent will go unnoticed and you'll be happy you stocked up when the savings were prime!

PAM Awards 2015
Pertubuhan Akitek Malaysia(PAM) Awards 2015 awarded GDP Architects with 6 awards in 5 categories. PERMATApintar Auditorium & Sports Park won Gold and Silver respectively, and Perdana Canopy a Silver in the Special Category. GDP architects also received commendations for the KKR2 Tower, 1Sentrum and Nu Sentral.
KKR2 – Architecture Malaysia
The KKR2 building was featured in the December, 2014 issue of Architectural Malaysia 'Offices' special.The newly completed, 37 storey office tower is located on Jalan Sultan Salahuddin, Kuala Lumpur, providing a new workspace for the Malaysian Public Works Department (Jabatan Kerja Raya or JKR). The building will also serve as the new headquarters, centralising a growing workforce that was previously dispersed throughout various locations.
Perdana Botanical Garden – Art In the Park

In part one of this series, we discussed how to use biblegateway.com's basic study functions, such as the concordance and reading parallel English versions. These are suitable for Bible students at all levels. In installments two and three we will cover the more advanced features. Most of these will be more useful to pastors and others who are interested in using the biblical languages for sermon preparation or other higher-level study.
We previously learned how to use the parallel button in order to read multiple English translations on the same screen. After you open parallel versions, the concordance function will search all of them at once. If you enter a term or phrase in the search box while multiple versions are on the screen, the result will be a greatly expanded list of verses that are marked by the translation that each one appears in. This may alert you to differences of opinion on what exactly is meant by each translation in a given verse. For example, if you open up the NIV, the NASB, and the New Century Version (NCV) in parallel, and do a concordance search on "love," you will turn up 861 results. The very first result, Genesis 4:1, appears only in the NIV. Why only the NIV? The other two versions choose different words to express that for which the NIV chooses "love." At this point there are two options. One is to click on the verse address to the left, which will bring up Genesis 4:1 in the NIV. You can then open the NASB and NCV in parallel to it. The other option is to click on the "other translations" link just beneath and to the right of the verse. This will display a page containing all of the English translations of Genesis 4:1 that are accessible through biblegateway.com. In this way you can multiply the scholarly expertise of different translation teams by comparing and contrasting them, while keeping it in a language (English) that you understand well.
Here is where the study capabilities for pastors and scholars really come into their own. If you have some ability in Hebrew or Greek, you can use the parallel function to set up an interlinear Bible by selecting biblical Hebrew or Greek to appear beside the English version of your choice. Interlinear Bibles are great for those who have had basic Hebrew or Greek and want to use them in ministry, but are not comfortable enough with them yet to rely on the original language text by itself. Both biblical Hebrew and biblical Greek are included among the world languages contained in the drop-down menu that is used to select versions to read. The Aramaic portions of the Old Testament are displayed when biblical Hebrew has been selected for display, and an Aramaic passage, such as Daniel 7, is entered in the search box. If you are conversant in another language, such as Spanish, you can read Spanish and English side-by-side in the same way.
The Hebrew text available on biblegateway.com is the Masoretic text as found in the Westminster Leningrad Codex (WLC). The WLC is an electronic representation of the standard scholarly edition of the Hebrew Old Testament, the Leningrad Codex B19a. It is maintained by Westminster Theological Seminary (WTS). The consonants, vowel points, and accent marks are displayed. It is not a perfect copy, and researchers at WTS are constantly correcting it to agree with the hardcopy facsimile edition of the original. You can find it beneath the English and Spanish versions under the heading עִבְרִית (the letters for "Hebrew"). The size of the font may be difficult to read, but that can be helped by pressing Ctrl-+, which will enlarge everything on the screen.
Four different Greek editions of the New Testament are available: the Stephanus, the Westcott-Hort, the Scrivener, and the SBL Greek New Testaments. They may be found very close to the Hebrew in the drop-down menu, beneath the English and Spanish versions, and under the heading κοινη (the Greek word for "koine," the language of the Greek New Testament). The Stephanus and Scrivener versions are based on the Textus Receptus, the Greek text behind the King James Version. New Testament scholars today generally consider them to be less reliable than today's standard scholarly version. If you prefer to use the KJV, then the Stephanus and Scrivener editions will be very helpful. The Westcott-Hort New Testament is the 19th century forerunner of today's scholarly edition. The SBL Greek New Testament is an alternative modern edition.
In the next part we will continue with the strengths and weaknesses of the original language study tools that are available on biblegateway.com, and survey some other resources as well. May the Lord bless as you keep studying and preaching!

Sensational Summer Chickpea Salad
This salad is a snap to make and especially delicious with freshly cooked garbanzo beans, but canned (BPA-Free) work as well. The fresh corn adds a hint of summer sweetness, a nice balance to the tang of your favorite salsa. I love it for sharing at picnics and potlucks, since you get lots of flavor, fiber and protein for your buck. Serve as a side dish or over a bed of mixed greens or shredded kale for a simple, satisfying lunch.
To prepare beans from scratch, soak for at least 8 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse beans, then add to a large stockpot and fill with water to cover the beans by at least 6 inches. Turn heat to medium-high and bring to a low boil, then reduce heat to simmer and cook for 1½ to 2½ hours, until tender.
Drain and rinse your garbanzos, whether they're cooked or canned, then add to a large salad bowl. Add remaining ingredients, stir to thoroughly combined and serve at room temperature.
Note: Sensational Summer Chickpea Salad is even better when it's prepared an hour or so ahead, or better still the day prior, to really let the flavors meld.

Sizzled Sprout and Carrot Slaw
Sautéed fresh mung sprouts, scallions and fresh raw carrots combine to form a sweet and savory Sprout and Carrot Slaw the likes of which you've never seen. This simple recipe comes together in ten minutes or less, but you may want to let it marinate for an hour after you make it to really let the flavors meld.
Heat the coconut oil in a medium-sized sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add Mung beans, green onions, garlic and Bragg's or salt. Sauté on medium heat for 5-8 minutes until beans begin to soften, than add remaining ingredients and cook, covered for 5 minutes longer, lowering heat to medium. Combine all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Serve warm or cold.

Nutty Sprout Crunch Salad
Makes 6-8 servings
Nutty Sprout Crunch Salad is a great way to prepare fresh bean sprouts. Both lentils and mung beans are simple to sprout, requiring only a few days before they're ready to eat,and so easy to prepare. Steam them with the rice and toss into the veggie blend. Add a touch of sweet citrus to complete this savory, satisfying one-dish meal.
Prepare your rice by rinsing it in a fine sieve until water runs clear, then transferring to a medium pot. Add 2 cups of water and 1/2 tsp. salt and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium low and simmer until the water is absorbed, 40-50 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside for 5 minutes then uncover and fluff with a fork.
When the rice is done cooking, mix your sprouts into the rice in the pot, cover and let sit for at least 5 minutes. This mixture can be made ahead as well.
Divide the orange into sections and cut each into 4 pieces. Prepare the rest of the ingredients before adding each of them to your large salad bowl. Pour in the rice and sprout combo, the warmer the better, then combine all ingredients and mix well. Enjoy!

Bountiful Sprouted Lentil Salad
Bountiful Sprouted Lentil Salad is all about abundance; abundance of flavor, of satisfaction and of uber-rich nutrients all in one amazing dish. To be sure, sprouted lentils, tofu and millet all top the list of protein-rich foods fueling this wonderfully savory one-dish meal.
Substitutions: Lentils are easy to sprout in just a few days, but if all you have on hand is dried, don't let that stop you from trying this deliciously simple dish. Quinoa or wild rice can be substituted for millet too.
Add 2 ½ cups water to a medium sauce pan, pour in millet, and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 25-30 minutes longer before removing from the heat. You'll mix this in with the salad when it's prepared.
Add coconut oil to a medium sauté pan. Turn the heat to medium and all cabbage, scallions, salt and Braggs (if using), then saute for 2 minutes to coat. Add lentils, tofu, water and chutney and cover the pan, lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until cooked through. Add millet and stir to combine. Serve warm or chilled.
Options: Add fresh cilantro, ginger and garlic or basil for more flavor if you're so inspired.

Tangy Orange, Fennel, and Kamut Salad
6 servings
Whole-grain kamut is making a comeback, and Tangy Orange, Fennel, and Kamut Salad is a flavorful way to enjoy it. This highly nutritious grain is the perfect alternative to brown rice; the nutty flavor and substantial texture make a wonderful combination in this dish. I prefer to soak my kamut for at least 8 hours or overnight before cooking, but it's not a must-do if you find yourself in a time crunch. Serve as a side dish or over some fresh arugula for a yummy main dish.
Place kamut in a saucepan with 2¾ cups water and salt. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 50 to 60 minutes over low heat, until almost all the liquid is absorbed. Turn off the burner, but leave the pan on the stove. Add fennel and scallions to the pot, cover, and let sit for 5 minutes longer. Remove from heat and cool for 30 minutes, then add the remaining ingredients. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Minted Quinoa Tabouli
4 servings
This savory salad tastes so fresh, you'll love our high-protein version of the classic summer favorite. Best to enjoy when cucumbers and tomatoes are fresh and in season. I love using my mini food processer for chopping the herbs, which saves a lot of prep time; but it's a pretty minimal effort either way. The quinoa may be prepared in advance for this dish, since it's served cold.
Bring 2 1/2 cups of water to a boil in a medium-sized saucepan. Add quinoa and black lentils, bring to simmering, then reduce heat to low; cover and cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and allow quinoa mixture to cool. Mix in remaining ingredients and serve warm or cold.

Moroccan Harvest Salad
If you're not familiar with the wonders of quinoa, it's time to give this high-protein plant food a try! Light, yet hearty, sprinkled with subtle hints of sweet, this exotically spiced quinoa salad not only tastes amazing, it's a super simple one-dish meal. Or serve it alongside a dish of beans and greens for a scrumptiously satisfying dinner. Leftovers make a fabulous lunch throughout the week.
Add water and quinoa to a large saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes before adding carrots, parsnip, currents and tomato sauce. Bring back to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes longer until veggies begin to soften, and turn off the heat. Add remaining ingredients and let sit covered for 8-10 minutes before serving.

Kale and Sweet Potato Salad with Ginger Miso Dressing
Kale and Sweet Potato Salad with Ginger Miso Dressing 6 to 8 servings
Minimalist that I am, I wasn't remotely interested in cooking with steamer baskets until I learned this incredible recipe in a cooking class. I love that the steamer method is low-tech, easy to learn, and fast. At home I use a bamboo steamer, which creates an interesting and not unpleasant scent while steaming. And believe me, this is a recipe worth steaming for!
Note: you'll need two stackable steamer baskets for this dish.
Add 6 inches of water to a large saucepan and bring it to a boil. Place the sweet potato slices on the bottom steamer basket, and greens on the other one. Place the sweet potato basket over the pot of water and cover; steam for 7 minutes. Add the greens layer, cover, and steam for 5 minutes longer. Check the sweet potato slices for doneness, and once tender, remove from heat.
Add to a bowl, toss in the scallions, and let cool for 20 minutes or longer before tossing in sprouts and adding dressing. Serve salad at room temperature or make ahead and refrigerate, adding dressing right before serving.
Ginger Miso Dressing Makes ½ cup
This is the dressing flavorful enough to transform iceberg lettuce and cello tomatoes (remember those?) into delicious cuisine in certain Japanese restaurants. Imagine how good it'll be with fresh organic greens or mung bean sprouts.
Combine all ingredients and serve. Stays fresh in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.

Mediterranean Lentil Salad
This scrumptious high protein salad is surprisingly simple to pull together. The combination of lentils and quinoa produces a nutty taste and pleasing texture for a hearty lunch or side dish. Toss in some oven roasted cauliflower and serve over arugula for a wonderfully healthy meal.
Give your lentils a quick rinse to remove any debris. Add 8 cups of water to a large saucepan and pour in the lentils and quinoa. The water should cover the lentils by at least 4". Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat, add a sprinkle of salt, and simmer for 15 minutes before adding onion, celery and sundried tomatoes. Return to a simmer and cook 10-15 minutes longer, until lentils are tender. Remove from the heat, drain and pour the mixture into a large serving bowl. Add remaining ingredients and serve warm or cold.

White Bean Caesar Salad
4 to 6 servings
A good Caesar Salad is always a treat, yet when loaded with all of the oil and cheese the traditional recipe calls for, not the healthiest of fare. This delicious vegan version is simple to prepare, while the white beans add a hearty dose of plant-based protein. Kids have been known to tussle over the last remaining lettuce leafs (and croutons), so be sure to prepare accordingly.
To prepare beans from scratch, soak for at least 8 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse, then add them to a large stockpot and fill with water so it covers the beans by at least 6 inches. Turn heat to medium-high and bring to a low boil, then reduce heat to simmer and cook for 1 ½ to 2 hours until tender. Drain and rinse in cold water to cool.
Add the first 10 ingredients (cashews to capers/fish sauce) to a blender. Puree until smooth. Add the lettuce to a large serving bowl and toss with dressing and beans. Season with pepper, add croutons, and serve.

Shitake Kale Salad
A true power blend, Shitake Kale Salad is one of my dietary staples. Packed with amazing nutrients, it's one of the few salads you can make ahead, since it will last, refrigerated, for several days.
Kale is considered one of the healthiest foods you can eat, since it's loaded with antioxidants, which help to neutralize harmful free radicals and is a great source of calcium as well. Some research suggests kale even helps reduce the risk of certain cancers. One cup of raw kale provides more than 100% of the daily recommended value of vitamins A, C, and K.
Easy to prepare, Shitake Kale Salad makes a delicious, nutritious side dish or light meal.
Combine kale and sesame oil in a large salad bowl. Lightly toss, then "massage" the kale a bit with your fingers to slightly wilt it. Add remaining ingredients, toss, and serve.

Thai Cabbage Salad
This simple coleslaw-style Thai Cabbage Salad tantalizes with a light and zesty finish. It's so easy to prepare, I frequently mix one together as a last-minute salad option, since I always have cabbage and carrots on hand and all it requires is a bit of chopping.
Combine all ingredients in large salad bowl. Best to let the spices blend for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Ahmadiyya ComplexBody vows to thwart bigots siege plan
The South Asian Peoples Union against Fundamentalism and Communalism (SAPUFC) yesterday vowed to resist the move by a group of religious fanatics to lay a siege to the Ahmadiyya complex in the capital on August 27.
It decided to mobilise public opinion against the fanatics move and organise a massive gathering in front of the Ahmadiyya complex on that day.
Religious bigots will have to pass over our dead bodies if they try besiege the Ahmadiyya complex, General Secretary of the SAPUFC Shahriar Kabir said at a roundtable on Attack on religious minority and our responsibility held the Jatiya Press Club.
The government alone will have to bear the responsibility if religious bigots to go on with their offensive programme on August 27, he said.
Religious and ethnic minorities in the country are under thereat of extinction and passing their days in insecurity due to the governments repressive attitude towards them, Shahriar alleged.
Speaking on the occasion, Justice KM Sobhan said the government itself is violating human rights and is also encouraging others to follow its path.
Article 40 of the constitution guarantees the right to exercise religious belief independently but the government has failed to uphold this right, he said.
Prof Mir Mobassher Ali said religious bigots would even seek a change in the countrys constitution to declare the Ahmadiyyas non-Muslim. No Muslim country has done this, he mentioned.
They (religious fanatics) had requested the OIC (Organisation of Islamic Conference) to adopt a resolution to declare the Ahmadiyya as non-Muslim but the OIC did not pay heed to their demand, Mobassher Ali told the roundtable.
President of the SAPUFC Prof Kabir Chowdhury said all progressive political parties should come forward to make its August 27 programme a success.
A group of people in the name of religion has become active to take the country to backward, he said.
The roundtable was also addressed by journalist KG Mustafa, General Secretary of Bangladesh Indigenous Peoples Forum Sanjib Drong, Prof Borhanuddin Khan Jahangir, Prof Nim Chandra Bhoumik, Abu Osman Chowdhury and former ambassador Waliur Rahman.
Meanwhile, different rights bodies and social organisations have served legal notice on the secretaries of the home ministry and religious affairs ministry and the inspector general of police, demanding arrest and punishment of Khatme Nabuwat leaders for planned attack on Ahmadiyya mosques.
The organisations including Ain o Salish Kendra, Bangladesh Legal Aid And Services Trust, Jatiyo Ainjibi Parishad, Kormojibi Nari, Mahila Parishad, Naripokkha, Nijera Kori and Sammilita Samajik Andolon also served legal notice on the deputy commissioners of Dhaka and Khulna .
They demanded immediate steps to protect the religious rights of the Ahmadiyyas and punishment of those responsible for violating their rights.
Khatme Nabuwat defiled of Ahmadiyya mosque in Khulna in presence of police and threatened to besiege the Ahmadiyya complex at Bakshibazar in Dhaka, said a press release quoting legal notice.

Goutezol Gout Remedy

" Peter from Chicago
The results were sufficiently impressive to give hope and encouragement to any gout sufferer who tries this diet as accurately as possible. The study was conducted in 1999. Unfortunately it has not been followed up by a much larger one designed on the same lines. If conducted, such a study would expand our knowledge of natural gout treatment, perhaps considerably. A natural gout cure is what most gout sufferers want.
About a year later, five of nine patients had no more gout attacks and three had just one attack. So there was a further decrease in attack frequency overall. One patient gained weight after the end of the study. He must have given up on the diet. He suffered three attacks over three months. His blood uric acid levels rose with his weight.
NB. The contents of this article contain medical information not medical advice. Please always discuss remedies with your doctor or other health care professional before implementing any treatment.
A gout is a type of arthritis, which is the inflammation of your joints. In got cases, the attacks cause severe pain, sewlling and redness. These gout attack symptoms happen very sudden, without any further warning. To heal a gout case is impossible, because their exists no cure. However, there are things that can be done to control and treat your gout case.
Gout is one of the most common forms of arthritis (joint inflammation). Gout is condition that results from crystals of uric acid depositing in tissues of the body. Gout usually affects the first metatarsal phalangeal joint of the big toe (hallux) or the ankle joints. Gout most often affects the big toe but can also affect the ankle, knee, foot, hand, wrist and elbow. Approximately one million people in the United States suffer from attacks of gout. Gout is nine times more common in men than in women. It predominantly attacks males after puberty, with a peak age of 75. In women, gout attacks usually occur after menopause.
- another drug used to calm down the gout flare symptoms is colchicine; its effect can been seen in a few hours time; Besides these drugs that are used to reduce the symptoms of a gout flare, there are also other drugs for preventing the gout attacks from happening. Allopurinol or probenecid lower the levels of uric acid that you have in your blood, thus reducing the risk of another gout attack. They are only given to the gout patients that suffer from many gout flares or have kidney stones because of the uric acid. However, if the levels of uric acid are lowered too sudden, this may trigger a gout attack as well. To prevent this from happening, doctors also prescribe colchicine to gout patients who take drugs to lower the levels of acid. Furthermore, the therapy with acid- lowering drugs is not started when the patient is suffering from a gout attack.

It occurs more frequently in countries that have a high standard of living. The most common sign of gout is a nighttime attack of swelling, tenderness, redness, and sharp pain in your big toe. There may also be the feeling that the skin around the area is stretching or tearing. There seem to be a number of factors that can cause people to develop gout. Some medications can prevent uric acid from leaving the body. Cyclosporine which is a medication used to suppress the body's immune system and prevent rejection after organ transplant, also increases the risk for developing gout. This can cause a build up of uric acid crystals.
Herbal remedies for gout have become very popular in recent years. There is very little evidence right now that shows alternative therapies are effective for gout. Uricinex is a breakthrough herbal product that we have recently discovered. Blueberries are high in anti-inflammatory compounds called anthocyanins, which help ease the pain of gout. Other herbal treatments that have shown some success include vitamin C - Taking supplemental amounts of vitamin C helps some people to reduce the uric acid in their blood. Taking 2-3 teaspoons of black cherry juice a day helps some people. Cherries are a popular home remedy for gout.
- the most used gout drugs are anti- inflammatory drugs which have no steroids; ipubrofen is usually prescribed to a gout patient; this is a very used drug, because after taking it, the pain and inflammation that is caused by the gout flare will pass in a couple of hours;
To control and treat a gout takes more than medication. A diet and probably a change in your lifestyle must also be made if suffering from a gout. The medication that you will be prescribed to treat your gout case depend on some factors. Your doctor will give you the proper gout treatment after taking into consideration your age, state of health, other medication that you take and last but not least the severity of your gout attacks. The main drugs that you will be given are anti- inflammatory medicine:
How many Amercians suffer from chronic symptoms of arthritis? 40 million! Are there several forms of arthritis? Yes, there are more than one hundred forms of arthritis and the causes of many are unclear. The two most common forms of arthritis are osteoarthritis (commonly referred to as simply arthritis) and rheumatoid arthritis. Gout is a less common form of the disease.
So a fall of 1.7 mg/dL, given these numbers, is quite significant, although you should note that many gout sufferers have UA levels much higher than 7.2 mg/dL, and some gout sufferers do not have excess uric acid.
The study can be found online if you search "Beneficial effects of weight loss associated with moderate calorie/carbohydrate restriction, and increased proportional intake of protein and unsaturated fat on serum urate and lipoprotein levels in gout: a pilot study." Copy and paste this into a search engine search box and hit enter.
Were the study patients taking long term medications, such as Allopurinol, for their gout? They were not. They were only taking medications for gout attacks. The study report did not say how much water they drank. Most gout sufferers know that drinking lots of water helps to remove uric acid. In gout treatment there are always caveats. The study was small. Only 13 male gout sufferers. The study lasted just four months, although there were follow-up results after one year (median). The researchers noted a connection between weight loss and a fall in uric acid levels in another study and expected the nutrient proportions (40:30:30) contributed to the uric acid fall. They thought that the dietary measures caused the desired improvement in insulin sensitivity.

Goutezol Gout Treatment
I was only 30 when I got a gout attack. Goutezol really helped me to get over the attack in just two days and the ebook helps me with watching what I'm eating. My uncle have had gout problems too, so I recommended your product. Thanks a lot!
" Matt, California
After four months on this diet the effects on uric acid levels and gout attacks were quite impressive.
Weight loss and uric acid levels
Weight loss over the period was almost 17lbs (7.7kg) i.e. at a rate of about 1lb a week. All but one of the patients lost weight. The median uric acid (UA) fall was 1.7mg/dL.Another very interesting finding was that a more elevated blood uric acid level at the start of the study, meant a large fall of blood uric acid by the end of it. Uric acid levels normalised in 7 of 12 patients who had raised levels of uric acid (UA) before the study.
This study, based on the Zone diet, did have a positive effect on markers of insulin resistance: triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol ("bad" cholesterol) fell. HDL cholesterol ("good" cholesterol) did not fall. But my purpose in this article is mainly to describe its direct effect on uric acid levels and gout attacks.
This is the second article of a series about this diet. Please see Natural Gout Treatment - The Rules Of A Gout Diet That Had A Lot Of Success, for the first article.
What kind of cause can trigger arthritis? While genes appear to be a contributing factor to arthritis, there are other causes. Researchers believe that environmental agents -- a virus, or even stress, can trigger the disease in people who are genetically predisposed to it.
Alcohol and certain foods can trigger a gout attack. Events such as strokes, heart attacks or surgery may also cause gout. Gout is strongly associated with obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes. Because of genetic factors, gout tends to run in some families. A variety of treatments can help you manage your gout. Traditionally treatment for acute gout has consisted of colchicine , which can be effective if given early in the attack. Gout often is treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) such as naproxen (e.g., Anaprox, Naprosyn) and indomethacin (e.g., Indocin), usually for 3-7 days.
To prevent future attacks, your doctor can prescribe a medicine to reduce uric acid buildup in your blood. Changing the way you eat can help you conduct your gout. Eat a healthy mix of foods so you get the nutrients you need. Limit foods like meat, fish, and beer. Drink plenty of water and other fluids.Life style changes such as limiting alcohol consumption, and limiting meals with meats and fish rich in purines can also be helpful in controlling gout. Weight loss may be very important this condition. You should also avoid certain animal proteins, such as: seafood; liver; kidney; heart; gizzard; sweetbreads; meat extracts; and gravy.
In the study report, uric acid levels were expressed as mmol/l. In this article I have converted these mmol/l numbers to mg/dL, which is a more frequently used measurement.

One participant did not have a raised UA level before the start. It was about 5.9mg/dL. But we already know that gout can occur in people with normal uric acid levels, so this was not unusual.
And gout attacks?
Results overall were expressed as a median. Before the study, participants had at least two attacks in the preceding four months. Median monthly attacks before the study were 2.1. After it, attacks fell to 0.6. The fall in the number of gout attacks occurred in all except one patient. The exception participant had shorter and less severe attacks. Eight of the 13 did not have a gout attack during the four month study period, although as mentioned, they had all had at least two in the previous four months and, as noted above, the median was 2.1 a month, or one attack a fortnight, (every two weeks).
Note especially that the mean uric acid (UA) fall was 1.7mg/dL. In a couple of cases it fell by 2.2 mg/dL and by 2.5mg/dL respectively. Hyperuricemia, (excess uric acid), which may lead to gout, is reckoned to exist if the UA levels exceed 7.2 mg/dL (men), and 6.0 mg/dL (women). The usual UA target in gout treatment is 6.0 mg/dL (somewhat less in women) because at this level the MSU crystals, formed mainly from uric acid may dissolve. (It is the immune system's response to these crystals, which it regards as foreign bodies, which causes the pain and inflammation of gout).
Does arthritis affect more women than men? Rhemathoid arthritis is two to three times more common in women than men. Men, however, are at greater risk than women of developing gout.
When does arthritis appear? Rheumatoid arthritis -- one of the many forms of arthritis -- typically begins at 20 to 50 years of age, although it can develop in childhood.
- corticosteroids are the alternative for a gout patient who can not use the nonsteroidal drugs; these as well reduce the inflammation caused by the gout in no more than a few hours; you can find this type of gout drug in form of pills or injections;

Savory pancakes are a big part of Korean home cooking. Koreans make pancakes with all sorts of ingredients — kimchi (kimchijeon), seafood and scallions (haemul pajeon), potato (gamjajeon), zucchini (hobak buchim), etc. This buchujeon (부추전) is made with buchu (부추), Korean garlic chives. It's another very common pancake at Korean homes!
Garlic chives have dark green flat leaves and a delicate garlic flavor. Korean garlic chives are thinner and tenderer than Chinese garlic chives commonly found in America. For this recipe, I used Korean garlic chives I grew in my backyard, but they are also available at Korean markets. If you can't find Korean chives, you can use the Chinese variety for this recipe. Look for ones with thin and narrow blades.
Buchujeon can be made simply with buchu, but I also added thinly sliced onions here. It adds delicious sweetness to the pancakes. Sometimes, I also add thinly sliced perilla leaves (깻잎, kkaennip) and/or chili peppers. If you like it a bit meaty, add some minced pork.
Korean pancake mix (buchim garu, 부침가루) is best to use for Korean savory pancakes. The ready made mix includes cornstarch, and/or rice powder for crispy pancakes and is flavored with garlic and onion powder and seasoned. If you can't find it, use flour and add a couple of spoons of cornstarch or rice powder and season with salt.
When savory pancakes are seasoned with gochujang (Korean chili pepper paste) and/or doenjang (Korean fermented soybean paste), they are called jangtteok (장떡), so the red version of this pancake I am showing here is actually called buchu jangtteok (부추장떡). You can simply add gochujang, doenjang or a combination. In this recipe, I just used gochujang. It adds a nice spicy kick to the pancakes.
You can make 2 large pancakes with this recipe. Cut into small pieces before serving or simply let the diners tear with the chopsticks as they eat. Or, make a few small pieces instead.

Buchjeon (Garlic Chive Pancakes)
- Makes 2 large pancakes or 6 small ones
- 1 cup Korean pancake mix buchimgaru, 부침가루
- 3 ounces garlic chives buchu, 부추
- 1/4 medium onion
- 1 teaspoon soup soy sauce or regular soy sauce or fish sauce
Optional Spicy Version

- Heat one tablespoon of oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Ladle the mixture into the pan, and spread it evenly into a thin round shape. Cook until the edges turn light golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low if the pancake browns too quickly. Turn it over, adding more oil to the sides of the pan, and press it down with a spatula. Cook until the other side is light golden brown, about 2 minutes.
