They are asking why they will be asked to sacrifice so much to pay it, while the wealthiest in our society continue to reap the benefits of the President's tax cuts...."
".....our soldiers continue to fight the fight virtually alone because this Administration has damaged our relationships with our friends and allies to such a degree that most are not willing to commit meaningful numbers of troops or financial contributions to what they view as America's misadventure. The President's speech before the United Nations did nothing but perpetuate his foreign policy of petulance...."
"....To succeed, we will need the assistance of our allies and the international institutions that this Administration has so recklessly alienated. To rebuild those relationships, credibility must be restored to every aspect of the operation.
Until we have new leadership at the Department of Defense, that credibility will be nearly impossible to achieve. Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz must go."

well with only 10 days left before the Challenge finishes I have my work cut out to get to my 1000 point target. My painting time has been severely limited over the last few weeks as work and family life have left
I very much doubt I will hit my objective of a top ten spot now, though I will keep trying. I should at least get the 6 Tigers done, and am also trying to complete my British for the Anglo - Zulu game that myself, Kevin and Kelly have been developing based on muskets & tomahawks. (these 2 elements should at least get me to my target points)
It also does not help that Curt's project in grey scale has had me drooling and wanting to try this on a Viking, and any little fragment of painting time has seen me trying to work out how the hell I get it looking right. I'm not satisfied with my results so far, and trying striped trousers in grey scale is not at all as easy as I thought it would be, in fact painting using this technique is very hard to get right. But as they say practise makes perfect.
Right that about wraps up this quick update, as there is a load of rubbish on TV tonight, the kids are quiet so I'm going for a few hours painting time.

It was very discouraging to see the lack of

I would say wait for the video, but
because the action in the movie will come
across better on the big screen than it will

Surprise Seat Belt Checks at Rock Bridge High School
Related Story
COLUMBIA - A 2012 report done by the Missouri Safety Center showed that only 66.5% of Missouri teenagers wear their seat belts.
As part of the statewide Click It or Ticket Campaign the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety's Central Region conducted surprise seat belt checks Tuesday at Columbia high schools. The surprise seat belt checks were meant to promote the importance of wearing seat belts as well as to remind teens that the enforcement of seat belt wearing is heightened during the Click It or Ticket campaign.
The surprise seat belt checks caught Hickman High School students off guard Tuesday morning as they pulled into school and Rock Bridge High School students Tuesday afternoon as the students left. Police officers and other officials gave students candy for wearing their seat belts and stern warnings for not wearing them.
Event organizer Dianna Johnson says she hopes this warning will teach teens the importance of buckling up no matter how far their destination.
"There is a high percentage of accidents that happen very close to where you work or live, so it's important to always have your seat belt on no matter how far you're going," Johnson said.
Johnson says Missouri needs to work toward the national average of 86% of drivers using seat belts.
Rock Bridge student Deven Niederhelm says he doesn't mind the reminder.
"I think it's good. If students realize that they can be pulled over and ticketed for doing that [not wearing their seat belts] then it might encourage them to wear their seat belts more often," Niederhelm said.
Niderhelm says he always wears his seat belt because he knows the importance of the added safety. According to the Missouri Safety Center, wearing a seat belt can reduce the risk of fatality by 45%.
The Click It or Ticket campaign began May 20 and goes until June 2. For more information click here.

I'm a little obsessed with facemasks, I've got to say. I used them very regularly and I know exactly what I like, and what works on my oily, blemish prone skin. Recently my skin has been struggling with the acne medication I use and the hot weather, so it's became quite dry in areas.
I've been wanting to try a sheet mask for a while, so when I got the Keeome Hydration Therapy Mask, I was quite excited to try it out. I see photos of people using sheet masks all over social media now, so they must be good, right?
These masks retail at £35.00 for a pack of 6, which means they're around £5 - £6 each. My 'go to' Jeunesse Montagne masks are £1 each, so that's quite a difference already. Although I don't think £5 is terrible if the mask itself does a great job.
I was quite taken aback when I opened the packet. I expected it to be a little wet, being a hydration mask. But this thing was absolutely soaking. It dripped all over my hands, arms, legs (I was sitting), and all over my desk and carpet. It was very messy. Which was more an inconvenience than anything else, because I suppose, it was supposed to be hydrating?
The mask was quite big for my very small head – seriously, I'm 5'1, I have a pea head compared to most people. So I wasn't too surprised it didn't fit well. I had to fold it over around the edges of my hairline, and found it hung off my chin a lot.
|It's so big!
You're supposed to keep the mask on for 25 minutes to feel the full benefit, and they also recommend using these 2-4 times per month. I have to admit, I found it hard to keep it on for 25 minutes. I really didn't enjoy the feel of this mask on my face. To me it just felt greasy. Maybe that's just because I usually have fairly oily skin anyway.
I found it kept slipping down, and I was constantly having to adjust it, rather than being able to just leave it and get on with what I usually do when I use a mask. That could be because my head was a little too small for it, or because it was so wet. I couldn't tell.
When I took the mask off, I rinsed my face with warm water as it says to do. I found it still left a strange residue on my face even after a couple rinses. My skin did feel very soft and supple though, I have to say. It just felt like it still had a weird layer across it. It seemed to make my blemishes a little angry too, those bad boys were very red after using the mask.
|The weird residue still on my skin
I think this mask would be great for people who perhaps struggle with dry skin, but for me, it just didn't feel right? It almost didn't feel clean. I have to admit for the price, I expected different results. Although it wasn't a terrible product, I've used better. I don't think I would use sheet masks, or hydration masks again. I'll stick to what I know works for my skin!

Excitement builds for retired racehorse show
By Susan Salk on February 21, 2012
This week, three ex-racehorses will prance into the spotlight of the Pennsylvania Horse World Expo as remade creatures.
Their heads will reach down into the bridles for connection. They will move up slowly into the trot, and will canter into a pretty frame, just weeks after running their last competitive races.
In proving how malleable their minds and willing their spirits, horses with names like Four X The Trouble, Brazilian Wedding, Solidify, an alternate, and High Level, will advance the pioneering work of The Retired Racehorse Training Project.

Donna Brothers thinks fast in the irons
By Susan Salk on February 17, 2012
Dirt stung her face and bounced off her goggles like gravel on a windshield from a speeding truck.
She flinched, and crouched lower in the saddle.
Beneath her, the striving, rushing Thoroughbred waited for a signal: where did she want him to go? They'd rocketed from the gait and had surged only a few paces when, in her peripheral vision, a solid wall of galloping horses squeezed from the right toward the rail; and, horses to her left struggled to hold their position.
In the thick of her first race, the petite, 21-year-old "girl jockey" had mere seconds to make a plan.
"There's nothing in the world that could have prepared me," says NBC Sports broadcaster and former jockey Donna Barton Brothers.

Lazarus rises from field, free of laminitis
By Susan Salk on February 14, 2012
When he was so sick with toxic laminitis that his feet hurt too much to stand, the bay Thoroughbred nicknamed Lazarus would lie down in a tranquil pasture near his barn. And, Kristen Shellenbarger would lie down beside him. As she reached out to caress her first horse, dread of his impending euthanasia gripped her. She made the appointment because, at this point, all medical advice pointed to this sad, inevitable conclusion, she explains. "I didn't want him to be in pain, and I didn't know what else I could do for him," she says, adding, " I'd just lie […]

The other problem - certainly not important when compared with the tragedies of the fires - I lost internet connection for 4 or 5 days! How I have come to depend on net connection for immediate weather, news, and just plain connection to friends and family! I was changing my ISP to get better speed and lower cost - and it looks as if it is all going to be worth it! - but in the process I was switched off from one service before the other was available. It will be great to now be able to watch videos on many of the bird blogs without waiting several minutes for them to download!
OK now for the birds. These photos were taken a few weeks ago on one of the very high tides when most of the Mullens roost was underwater. This one little sand bank stays out of the water and I have watched small shorebirds gather there over the past years. It's good to know they are still using it on very high tides. There is water on both sides of the sand bank and because the birds usually gather on one side it is possible to stand on the other side without disturbing them. They seem to feel secure enough to stay where they are without moving too much - possibly because they can only see my head and shoulders above the sand because I am standing in waist deep water on my side of the bank. The other week there was a mixture of Red-capped Plovers (a resident shorebird) and Red-necked Stints (a migratory shorebird). BTW the Stints only get their red necks when they put on breeding colors just before they migrate back to the northern hemisphere. They are the smallest shorebird to migrate here.
Both of these birds are tiny - about 150mm or 6 inches. The little ripples breaking against the sand looked like major waves behind the birds.
One of the Stints stretched a wing and gave me a good look at the feather details.

LLcoolJ beats up thief in his house
Early Wednesday morning, LL Cool J busted a burglary suspect who had broken into his Los Angeles home. The actor-rapper, whose real name is James Todd Smith, discovered the man just before 1 a.m., when the alarm system in his Studio City residence was tripped. A scuffle ensued, but the "NCIS: Los Angeles" star — whose arms (and abs!) are legendary in Hollywood — took down the trespasser and detained him while one of his daughters called 911.
When officers arrived, they took the man — whose name has not been released — into custody. The suspect, who will be arrested on suspicion of burglary, had minor bruises.
It's really no surprise tough guy LL Cool J — who has shared his fitness secrets in books including "LL Cool J's Platinum Workout" and has one of the most chiseled bodies in the biz — was uninjured during the fracas. Further, nothing was taken from the home, which he shares with his wife, Simone, and four children: a son Najee, 22, and daughters Italia, 21, Samaria, 17, and Nina, 11.
When reached for comment about the incident, a rep for LL Cool J told omg!: "LL Cool J and his family are safe and thank everyone for their thoughts and concern. As a father, husband, and citizen, he is committed to keeping his family safe and is cooperating with authorities on this private matter."

Save the River Records
Save the River Records
This collection documents the activities of Save The River, from its founding in 1978 to present, although some of the earliest years have gaps. The original order of the records is uncertain, reflecting the early evolution of the organization. The collection has been arranged into series in consultation with the current administration of Save The River.
Save The River was founded in 1978 as a non-profit environmental organization in response to plans to allow winter navigation of the St. Lawrence River and Seaway. Coming just two years after a commercial shipping oil spill that released over 300,000 gallons of crude oil into the river, a group of over 500 concerned citizens led by activists Abbie Hoffman and Johanna Lawrenson formed the organization, defining its mission "to restore, preserve and protect the ecological integrity of the Upper St. Lawrence River through advocacy, education, and research." –From: Save The River Strategic Plan, 2015-2018

By Phil Hecken, with additional commentary by James Huening
Just in case you hadn't yet heard, there will be a football game played today at historic Wrigley Field — the first football game at Wrigley since 1970, when the Bears last played there, and the first time in more than seventy years that Wrigley will play host to a college football game. In fact, there have been more professional hockey games played at Wrigley in the last 39 years than there have been football games. That's about to change when the Northwestern Wildcats host the Illinois Fighting Illini.
I had actually been planning this post for some time, even
coercing requesting a bit of assistance and perspective from James Huening, who has attended more than his fair share of events at the Friendly Confines, although never a football game. It was just going to be a "secondary piece," following my lede — which will now be bumped until tomorrow. Why the sudden change of heart? Because now the game will be played under "Wrigley Rules."
While this is pretty much of a gimmick, it's a pretty cool one. Much like the Winter Classic Hockey Game played at Wrigley a couple New Years' ago, it will probably be much more about the "experience" than the actual viewing pleasure. Sure, there will be some good seats, but it's pretty clear from the configuration that there will be as many bad seats as there will be good ones. No matter, it's sure to be a memorable game for all in attendance.
Before we get into the "Wrigley Rules," JTH had origianlly penned this for today's post:
For the first time since I was just one week old, football will be played in Wrigley Field. Perhaps fittingly, that game pitted the Chicago Bears vs. their long-time nemeses, the Green Bay Packers.
The Bears moved out of Wrigley Field after that season because the NFL mandated that every team's home stadium hold at least 50,000 spectators.
Today's contest features in-state rivals Illinois and Northwestern looking to take home the Sweet Sioux Tomahawk. Check that. It's 2010. That means it's the coveted Land of Lincoln trophy that will be up for grabs.
Interestingly enough, early in the 1970 season, the Bears played one home game at Northwestern's Dyche Stadium, as it was known then, before deciding to make Soldier Field their full-time home
The fact that today's game is between two NCAA teams rather than NFL isn't the only difference. There won't be any temporary grandstands and actually the field will be oriented east-west rather than north-south. This means that there will be two full 10-yard endzones — no need to stuff padding in the visitors' dugout.
What else can we expect to see? Green "Ivy" in November? Check. Purple Marquee? Check. Now will the concession stands have a special beverage on the menu for the occasion?
Now, when this game was first proposed, more than a year ago, it brought back memories to some of when the Bears played at Wrigley. However, the field was oriented in a north-south direction. This of course allowed for temporary bleachers, but also made for a very snug fit in the south endzone. You can see the difference graphically here and here. I'm not sure that second graphic actually shows just how tight a fit the eastern end zone will be against the outfield wall.
When I began this post (earlier this week), I originally wrote, "I'm not sure whether the goalposts attached to the wall is really cool — or potentially really dangerous (not the goalposts themselves, but the fact that there is no room outside of the endzone to maneuver. Everytime I see tight end zones I always am reminded of stuff like this — granted, that's not going to happen at Wrigley, but when irresistable forces meet immovable objects, we know who the winner is going to be."
Whether or not this was prescient or common sense, we found out yesterday that today's game will be played under new ground rules, or "The Wrigley Rules." The geniuses who planned this game obviously hadn't taken the safety factor into play when they changed the orientation of the field. Well, now (perhaps a little late, dontcha think?), they have. Here's how today's game will differ:
1) All offensive plays will head toward the West end zone, including all extra points and all overtime possessions.
2) All kickoffs will be kicked toward the East end zone.
3) After every change of possession, the ball will be repositioned for the offense to head toward the West end zone.
4) As a result of a coin toss held by the conference office Friday morning, Illinois will occupy the West team bench in the first half and Northwestern will occupy the West team bench in the second half and for all overtime periods.
I asked James for his reaction to the rules change. "So now it appears that another wrench has been thrown into the works," he says. "I understand that the game has changed over the last 40 years, but the outfield wall is padded, isn't it? I have no idea how soft the padding is, but I've definitely felt the boards and glass of a hockey rink and I'd imagine that the padding is considerably softer. Somehow they managed to play a hockey game at Wrigley Field a little less than two years ago."
According to the Big 10, both Illinois and Northwestern expressed concern (the same concerns most of us had been voicing here for at least a week) and adopted the above "rule or field adjustments to provide the safest environment for the student-athletes." The Big 10 had to request these waivers (although it's hard to fathom anyone with a functioning cranium wouldn't have immediately approved them).
For a bit of perspective on the hazards of playing football at Wrigley, Jim offers this, "Legend has it that there was no padding (in left field back then) until after the time that leather-helmet era Bears fullback Bronko Nagurski ran head-down for a touchdown and didn't stop running until he was stopped by the brick wall. Nagurski is said to have gone back to the sideline in a daze and told coach George Halas 'That last guy gave me quite a lick.'"
Today's rule changes were determined to be the best of all options and will be in effect for this game only based on the unique layout of the field. According to Big 10 Commish James Delaney, "Both Illinois and Northwestern did significant due diligence over the past 18 months, but after seeing the actual layout of the field, all parties felt that it was appropriate to adjust the rules to further enhance the safety of our student-athletes." Well, yeah.
While I commend the Big Ten for their concern for player safety, wasn't this something they might have considered before they set this whole thing up? I realize one cannot tell from conceptual diagrams exactly how the field would look, but when you're planning on attaching goalposts to a solid brick wall, with just a modicum of padding, which means your endzone ends where the wall begins you probably know long before the day before the game it's not a good idea.
Even Jimbo agrees, "Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to play the meatball fan card here. I understand that it is a safety issue," he says. I myself use a seatbelt when I drive. "I wear a helmet when I ride my bike. When I play hockey, I wear more than just the required gear (I use a neck guard, mouth guard and full cage) so I'm not questioning anyone's toughness or anything like that. I simply believe that this eleventh hour rule change might be a bit of an overreaction."
How big an overreaction, Jim? "Really, how often is there a play at the back of the end zone? And again, there is padding on the wall," he notes. "It's not as though there's barbed wire or a pit of crocodiles. And I kind of feel bad for the folks who have seats in the right field bleachers. Unless a punt or turnover returned for a touchdown, all the scoring will be at the opposite end of the field. Although, I guess it is possible that a missed field goal could be returned for a TD."
"Of course," he does add, "There is always the possibility that they'll see two points for the defense on their end of the field."
So what does this mean for the viewers and the fans? Well, for those watching on TV (and now you know you will), probably not a lot — except there will now likely be more ample time for commercial breaks, as teams will be required to change direction with every possession change. However, the fans who bought seats by the east end zone will probably feel a bit gipped. The only way they'll see any points scored is when you have a punt returned for a TD, a safety, or an INT taken to the house. And all PAT's will all be kicked into the western end zone, and that really sucks — I mean, who amongst us wasn't hoping to see an extra point sail across
Waveland Sheffield Avenue? I know I was.
Remember when you used to play touch football in the street with an odd number of kids, and you had a "designated quarterback"? Or when you played baseball/softball with only six or seven players and you used a "half field"? Kinda feels like that now. But at least no one will involuntarily pull a Gus Frerotte
If nothing else, the Wrigley Rules will probably fuel more interest in this game even more than it would normally have. This morning, you can watch the ESPN Game Day crew live from Wrigley, but the game will be on ESPNU (so I'm not sure how many of us will be able to actually see it). Official kickoff is 3:30 Eastern/2:30 Central time.
Colorize This!
Occasionally, I will be featuring wonderful, high-quality black and white photographs that are just begging to be colorized.
Last weekend I challenged some of the more adventurous to colorize a few photographs, which Paul had featured in columns earlier that week: This full panoramic shot of the 1918 Chicago Cubs, as well as a smaller section of that photo. Also, I thought this photo of Doc Crandall of the Federal League St. Louis Terriers would make for a good colorization.
At first, I didn't think anyone would take me up on the challenge, but as the week progressed, three of you stepped up to the plate.
George Chilvers took on the challenge of the cropped 1917 Chicago Cubs.
Ian Carr not only colorized the 1917 Cubs, but he also did four(!) versions of Doc Crandall, each slightly different patch: bluish-purple, red, a red field with blue letters and what is probably the most likely, a blue field with red letters.
Finally, Dylan Buell not only colorized Doc Crandall, but he also colorized the entire 1917 Cubs panoramic portrait.
Great work gentlemen.
For the coming week, I'm hoping a few more of you will participate. And with the big football game in Wrigley today, this week's challenge will be Bronko Nagurski, pro football's "60 minute man." Two photos to choose from: this classic, which should look something like this. The second photo isn't quite as awesome, uni-wise, but it's still pretty sweet. I believe the colors for that would be an orange jersey with navy blue numbers outlined in white, blue stripes, and navy blue undersocks with white stripes. I am not sure about the pants, but they're likely khaki.
Give it your best shot! You can send all your submissions directly to me, and I'll post everyone's efforts next weekend. OK? OK!
Uni Tweaks
Catching up with the tweaks, but they keep coming in (which is good), so lots to get to today. If you have a tweak, change or concept for any sport, send them my way.
You guys have been pretty great keeping to the ~50 word limit per team tweak, and it's greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Now, on to today's tweaks:
Starting off the show is Larry Grace who has an Atlanta Braves tweak for us:
I was inspired by the look of the old BP jerseys, so I added red and some piping to their current road alt to separate them from the Tampa Bay Rays.
Larry Grace
Next up is UW favorite Bowen Hobbs, who has several tweaks across three sports: MiLB, NCAA Football & the NBA:
Hi Phil,
I've been working on a little college football and Minor League Baseball lately, plus I tweaked a Bucks concept I did a while back.
Starting with the Bucks:
I showed the previous version in my blog (44th & Goal), but I updated the buck's neck since I last showed it. The design plays off of the old "Irish Rainbow" jerseys.
Logos / Home & Away / Alternate
Iowa Hawkeyes:
I've always thought the current logo looked like a chicken, so I decided to make it a hawk. The uniforms are pretty conservative, using a two-stripe scheme that is consistently displayed throughout.
Logos / Home / Away / Alternate
Erie SeaWolves:
I did this one over the summer. The current logo looks like an old sailor tattoo, and the type is awful. I went with the parent club's (Tigers) color scheme and custom typography. My favorite uniform in the set is Alternate 3, as it uses a wraparound cap and jersey design.
Logos / Caps / Uniforms 1 / Uniforms 2 / Uniforms 3
Bowen Hobbs
And closing down the tweak show today is Ian Carr with a "North Stars" concept:
Hi Phil,
got one for ya; North Stars.
This is my first one. I loved the old North Stars logo and color scheme. Loved the Stars "Star Jersey". Combine the two and Voila! I tweaked the jersey star JUST a bit to go with the shoulder yoke.
Thanks mucho to all the concepters. Back tomorrow with more.
Orange Crush
Last evening, the fourth-ranked Boise State Broncos did something they've never done before. They
were visible on their home field broke out an all-orange uniform and promptly went out and annihilated Fresno State.
Seeking to make a statement both sartorially and with the BCS committee, the Broncos were no longer camouflaged on the smurf turf, but were much more so when they were putting up sixes, which they seemed to do quite often. I needed to get to bed early last night, but the game was
already 44-0 in the early fourth quarter ended 51-0. I ended up watching it till the end.
This was the first time Boise has worn orange jerseys since they installed the blue turf. I wasn't paying close attention, but apparently Boise played in a Bowl game in their own stadium a few years back, and they were actually the visiting team — so they wore white then. They still looked awful, but much less awful than when they go mono blue. The new orange unis were basically the same as their usual blue ones, only they swapped out the blue for orange. Their gray/silver numbers and file folder accoutrements remained in place. *Sigh*
I'm really pulling for either Boise or Texas Christian to make it to the BCS Championship Game this year. Of course, if Oregon and Auburn remain undefeated, there's little chance of that happening. However, I'm increasingly hearing rumblings that even if Auburn loses the Iron Bowl or the SEC Championship Game, even then they might play in the BCS game. That will really prove how much of a bias those who rate these teams have towards BCS conferences (or against non-BCS teams). Of course, we still have a long way to go before we face that scenario, but I would hope that if Auburn or Oregon were to lose, TCU and/or Boise would get a title shot if either remains undefeated. The BCS is already broken (we won't get into a playoff today), but Boise is certainly making a case that they deserve a title shot — whether it's with an invitation to the "big game" or via a "+1."
That's just about all for today.
Oh yes, there is another college football game today that is being played in a baseball stadium. Army vs. Notre Dame in New Yankee Stadium. But nobody cares about that one.
And for those of you into orange monochrome, Miama will be wearing theirs today againt Va Tech. As far as uniforms go, I really will need to see this one in action, but you know how I feel about the whole Pro Combat ethos. That helmet sure looks purdy tho, doesn't it?
OK, y'all. Have a great Saturday.
"Fear the Deer" is ridiculous "" tho except of the constant prospect of smashing into one with my car. Fear the Deer wandering into my yard & getting into my trash? This machoism in sports is getting redundant. — 'concealed78'

BAGHDAD, Oct. 24 — The Blackwater USA compound here is a fortress within a fortress. Surrounded by a 25-foot-high wall of concrete topped by a chain-link fence and razor wire, the compound sits deep inside the heavily defended Green Zone, its two points of entry guarded by Colombian Army veterans carrying shotguns and automatic rifles.
In the mazelike interior, Blackwater employees live in trailers stacked one on top of the other in surroundings that one employee likens to a "minimum-security prison."
Since Sept. 16, when Blackwater guards opened fire in a crowded Baghdad square, the compound has begun to feel more like a prison, too. On that day, employees of Blackwater, a private security firm hired to protect American diplomats, responded to what they called a threat and killed as many as 17 people and wounded 24.
Richard J. Griffin, the State Department official who oversaw Blackwater USA and other private security contractors in Iraq, resigned Wednesday.
For weeks, not a word has emerged publicly from the compound, as the F.B.I., the American military and the Iraqi government investigate the Sept. 16 and earlier Blackwater shootings in Iraq.
But in recent days, that secretive Blackwater world has begun to fray under so much scrutiny, said four current and two former Blackwater employees. They described a grating sense among many of Blackwater guards, especially those with years of experience, that the killings on Sept. 16 were unjustified.
"Some guys are thinking that it was not a good shoot, that it was not warranted," said one Blackwater contractor, using military jargon for an episode that results in a wrongful death. "I don't think there was criminal intent involved. I just think it was the application of the use of deadly force gone horribly wrong."
He added, "To mitigate one threat, 17 people had to die?"
Blackwater employees are aware of the conclusions of Iraqi investigators: that Blackwater never received fire and that any threat was illusory. Like the company in its official statements, the guards appear to believe that three armored Blackwater vehicles received several rounds of gunfire somewhere in the city that day, and that this might help explain why the guards fired into Nisour Square.........

So to work around this, I ginned up a set of masks that sit on top of each image. The execution is simple – 3 identical divs, rotated around the central point of the image. Combined, they result in a perfect hexagon. With the mask in place, I applied a bit of jQuery to fade in / fade out the text and overlay.
Neat little trick to create interactive hexagons with CSS, although without any responsive web design abilities. It's possible to create the hover effect with CSS too, without using jQuery.
It's worth noting I've seen this technique used before this post was created with responsive web design in mind. You can see it in action here.

PUIG launches the Radiator side panels.
The new radiator side panels are designed to fulfill a double function: Protect the radiator of the motorcycle and improve its aerodynamic condition creating a continuous air flow.
Puig's main goal has always been to improve the experience on board the motorcycle and give the rider additional protection to ensure maximum comfort while riding.
On this occasion, the Catalan manufacturer has turned its efforts into improving the front end of the motorcycle, its radiator. The protective panels are made of ABS, a highly resistant to impacts material and with a high aerodynamic performance. Such caps perform successfully the tasks entrusted to them.
First due to its location, the panels serve as additional protection for the radiator and second, they act as an aerodynamic element creating a continuous air flow that deflects outwards, improving the aerodynamic condition around the rider's legs and protecting them from possible inclement weather.
Thanks to its sporty design and its two finishes, matt black or carbon look, the radiator side panels by Puig will fit perfectly with the looks of the motorcycle and will enhance its competitive nature.As for the assembly, it is an easy piece to install, which does not require modifications to the original base of the motorcycle and it comes with visual instructions to facilitate its correct placement on the vehicle.

My four year old has
three two more days of preschool before summer strikes.
I still haven't registered him for PreK. Registration was in February.
He's not signed up for any summer activities.
My 5 month old still doesn't nap.
My four year old definitely doesn't nap.
I work from home.
My husband works out of state almost weekly.
I'm in severe denial.
About my babies growing up.
About how I'm going to maintain my work load with no summer help.
About only having two more days of preschool. Did I mention that already?
Is it still denial when I'm actually completely aware? Hyperaware. That it's time to make some decisions and stop putting them off.
Time to pick a preK.
Time to admit that my youngest may never nap well. That I probably need childcare for him too.
Time to publish the giant backlog of posts I have because I never have "enough time" {<– ha} to put the finishing touches on them.
Or maybe I'll just blissfully keep my head buried in the proverbial sand and try my hardest to keep my babies my babies just a little bit longer.
Yeah, that last one I think.
Because we all know babies don't keep.

Rick Rodgers: Chocolate Bûche de Noël
Posted by The Secret Ingredient on December 10, 2010 · Leave a Comment
Christmas is about tradition, especially the wonderful dishes that you make only once a year to celebrate the season. I don't have a drop of French blood, but I did do a stint cooking for a French diplomat's family, which required that I learned how to make a mean chocolate Bûche de Noël. Shaped like a Yule log, this is the classic French Christmas dessert. The recipe, from my book CHRISTMAS 101 follows.
This recipe is surprisingly easy, which is just one reason why I make it year after year. It can be made two or even three days ahead of time, loosely covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated. In this case, just be sure to let the cake stand at room temperature for an hour or so before serving so it can soften and lose its chill. I suggest a high-quality chocolate, but not one with a cacao content of over 62%. A lot of people confuse the chocolate issue, and believe that the higher the cacao content, the better the chocolate. Actually, it only means that the chocolate will be more bitter, and especially if kids are eating the dessert, you don't want it to be too bittersweet. And, high-cacao chocolates can be tricky to combine with cream to make ganache, and integral part of this recipe. Happy Holidays, or should I say Joyeux Noël!
Chocolate Bûche de Noël
Makes 8 to 12 servings
Make Ahead: The bûche de Noël can be baked up to 1 day ahead. The chocolate leaves can be made up to 3 days ahead.
Chocolate Roll
- 6 large eggs, separated, at room temperature
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 3⁄4 cup granulated sugar
- 1⁄3 cup Dutch- process cocoa powder, such as Droste, sifted, plus 2 tablespoons for finishing the cake
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
- 2 tablespoons boiling water
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
- Grated zest of ½ orange
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1⁄2 cup heavy cream
- 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier or other orange-flavored liqueur or frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
- Sprigs of fresh juniper or pine, for garnish
- Chocolate Leaves (recipe follows, optional)
- 10 to 12 store-bought truffles
- 2 tablespoons Dutch-process cocoa powder, such as Droste, for garnish
1. To make the chocolate roll, position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350°F. Lightly butter a 15 ½ × 10 ½ × 1-inch jelly-roll pan. Lightly butter the pan and line with waxed paper.
2. In a greasefree large bowl, using a handheld mixer at low speed, beat the egg whites until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and increase the speed to high. Beat until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in 1 ⁄4 cup of the granulated sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
3. In another large bowl, beat the egg yolks with the 1/3 cup cocoa powder, the remaining ½ cup granulated sugar, and the salt on high speed until the mixture forms a thick ribbon, about 2 minutes. Stir about a quarter of the whites into the yolk mixture, then fold in the remaining whites. Scrape into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
4. Bake until the cake springs back when pressed in the center, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Sift the remaining 2 tablespoons cocoa powder over the top of the roll. Place a large sheet of aluminum foil over the cake and place a baking sheet over the pan. Invert the cake onto the foil. Carefully peel off the waxed paper. Cool completely.
5. To make the filling, in a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the boiling water. Let stand for 10 minutes to soften the gelatin. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, heat ¼ cup of the heavy cream until just warm. Add to the gelatin mixture, stir to dissolve the gelatin, and cool for 10 minutes. In a chilled medium bowl, beat together the remaining 1 ¼ cups heavy cream, the confectioners' sugar, orange zest, and vanilla until just stiff. Beat in the gelatin mixture.
6. Spread the filling over the cake, leaving a 1-inch border. Using the foil as an aid, roll up the cake from a long end into a tight cylinder. Transfer the roll to a long platter, seam side down. Cover tightly and refrigerate until the filling sets, at least 1 hour or overnight.
7. To make the ganache, in a medium saucepan, bring the heavy cream to a simmer over medium-high heat. Remove from the heat and add the chocolate, corn syrup, and Grand Marnier. Let stand until the chocolate melts, about 5 minutes. Whisk until smooth and transfer to a medium bowl placed in a larger bowl of ice water. Let stand, stirring often, until chilled and thick, about 5 minutes. Whisk just until soft peaks form—do not overwhisk. Immediately spread the ganache over the roll. Using the tines of a fork, make wavy lines in the ganache to simulate bark. (The roll can be prepared up to 1 day ahead, tented with aluminum foil and refrigerated.)
8. To serve, tuck the juniper under the roll, decorate the cake with the chocolate leaves and truffles, and sift the cocoa powder over all. Serve chilled or at cool room temperature.
Chocolate Leaves: Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Place 4 ounces finely chopped bittersweet chocolate in the top part of a double boiler over hot, not simmering, water. Stirring occasionally, heat the chocolate until almost completely but not quite melted. Remove from the heat and let stand, stirring occasionally, until completely melted and tepid, about 10 minutes. Holding a lemon leaf in the palm of your hand, and using the back of a teaspoon, coat the underside of the leaf evenly with the melted chocolate. Avoid getting the chocolate on the other side of the leaf. Place the coated leaves on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate until the chocolate is firm, at least 30 minutes. (The chocolate leaves can be prepared up to 3 days ahead and refrigerated.) Carefully pull the leaves away from the chocolate and discard. Store the chocolate leaves in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Makes about 12 chocolate leaves.

Security Improvements To Be Discussed In Cedar Falls
Officials in Cedar Falls are getting together to discuss security improvements and crime prevention efforts in the city.
Mayor Jim Brown and police administrators have set up a meeting to talk about possible changes in the College Hill neighborhood near the University of Northern Iowa campus. That meeting is scheduled for Wednesday (Jan. 9, 2019).
Cedar Falls Public Safety Director Jeff Olson said late night activity on College Hill occasionally brings about criminal activity. City officials and late night business owners plan to discuss improved methods of security and what they can do together to prevent crime and apprehend those who commit crimes.
City officials decided to review security measures in the College Hill area of Cedar Falls after two 18-year-olds from Waterloo were injured in a New Year's Day shooting. According to police, someone fired multiple shots from a handgun into a group of people in the 2200 block College Street around 1:45 AM on Tuesday. Corey Dunn, Jr. and Sincere Jones, were both treated for gunshot wounds at the hospital. The suspect got away.
According to Olson, Cedar Falls leaders are committed to doing what they can to assure that the city's crime rate remains one of the lowest in Iowa. He said local officials are also reviewing street and parking lot lighting, along with improved camera usage in the College Hill area.
City officials plan to hold a similar meeting with downtown Cedar Falls businesses in the near future.

Ever since Jake Locker hurt his hip and knee in Week Four against the Jets, signs pointed to him making his return to the lineup after the Titans' bye in Week Eight.
That plan took a turn this week when Locker returned to practice and coach Mike Munchak refused to rule him out of the game. Locker practiced again on Friday and Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean reports that he took the majority of the reps in both individual and team drills.
Munchak said after practice that he hadn't made a decision about whether Locker or Ryan Fitzpatrick would start against San Francisco and that the team would be discussing it into the weekend. The coach knows that Locker has practiced well and that he wants to play, but said that the team had to weigh other concerns as well when making their choice because they don't want to put Locker back in the lineup too soon.
"Ryan is going forward like he is starting and I am sure Jake in his mind is [also]," Munchak said. "Jake wants it. I don't know that he'll be 100 percent honest with us, unfortunately. … He knows how important he is to team. But he understands what we have to do and he'll go by ultimately what we decide is best, even though he may not agree with us, because there's a lot of football to go this year. We want to make sure we are doing the right thing."
Locker was off to a great start before his injury, completing 62.2 percent of his passes and throwing six touchdowns without an interception. Fitzpatrick hasn't been nearly as effective and the Titans have lost both of the games he's started after starting the year 3-1 in games started by Locker.

Notice the word Cain, in JOHN's name. That's no accident. Everything is backwards my friend, and guess who Cain really is ! It's not John. But, don't think for one second that John is not the one. HE IS NOT McCain by accident at this point in time. Everything in this world, this alphabet, is twisted and upside down TO CONFUSE YOU. The resurrection of McCain was something no one would have bet on. The neocons left him in the middle of BF skid to nowhere, without so much as a plane ticket home. It is destiny for Clinton and Romney, and Obama is the safety net Trojan Horse for Romney's peeps. WAKE UP. And, I wonder what mighty force of sheer WILL, intervened and picked him up, gave him a drink, and put wind beneath his wings.
Not Rush Limbaugh
Not Christ Matthews
Not Wolf Blitzer
Not Pat Buchannen
Not Bill Bennet
Not Ann Coulter
Not Hannity
Here's who put the wind under his wings: TRUTH, JUSTICE AND THE TRUE AMERICAN WAY.
You Knights Templar (Free Masons) may have thought you built this for yourself, but a funny thing happened on the way to 2012. TRUTH, and a nation full of natural LIE DETECTORS, along with a intervention of true Power. Not magical power. There is a big difference.
You left your finest patriot for dead. But, it's not about patriotism is it. It's about war and death, and Patriotism is the way you get there. You have done your homework on the American Psyche. You know what motivates this free people. You use the media to show them how incredibly horrid it is all over the world, then you scare people here in hopes they will do ANYTHING to save themselves. But, who actually creates much of this HORRID all over the world. Trickle down death.
That is your biggest tool. PATRIOTISM.
You parade it through the collective consciousness, trolling for wafflers. Hoping, with all your magical mind that there will be critical mass, so you can bomb, kill and mame innocents. The more blood the better, because you live for skulls and bones.
I am an anti war liberal democrat, but I see who YOU are and what you are doing. No, I don't agree with John AT ALL on the war, but somehow I understand he IS THE ONLY ONE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT who I believe to my core, will not lie to us. I believe he honestly wants to fight terroism. Not to take over countries and their resources, and to settle ancient scores, but because it will keep our country safe. No, I don't agree with the method, but I know John McCain would never INTENTIONALLY hurt the American People. I can't say that about Clinton, and I can't say that about Obama. Sadly. And, if there is one thing I know for sure, it is this: If this country remains in the Satonic strangle hold of the far right (who despises Jesus), we are in for a nightmare of a proportion you cannot even imagine.
The real CAIN, is BAIN, and it's founder. The real Able is the one WHO IS.
The people have spoken, over and over, and they will speak again on Tuesday.
THE ANTICHRIST WILL NOT RULE THIS EARTH. We got your number. It's 666, just like you promised. But, hidden in the backwards English alphabet, where you thought no would ever find it. I found it. That's not all I found. As you well know by now. Your mask fell off, and your Jesus Hating, Child Murdering, Blackwatering Selves have been revealed.
Please pray for John. His mission is blessed by truth. You don't have to believe in a God to understand what I am asking. To each their own. My definition of God is wide open these days.
Be well, and please, if you are reading this, and it makes you mad, then I would begin now to wake up. You have four years. After that, you will be lost a very long time.

Florida recount. Perhaps he is sending a message across the state that a Romney fix won't fly. The state that gave us George Bush with it's VOTING FRAUD and Katherine Harris, is on notice. This Governor will not tolerate a fraud for Romney. I doubt the polls are that close anyway. The media is owned. Just watch cable news for a few minutes. So, give us a tight poll, and we'll believe it tipped in favor of the person who didn't win.

Press lauds Romney's victory in meaningless Iowa contest, yet barely acknowledges Texas Congressman's sweep of Alabama and New Hampshire
Paul Joseph Watson
|reddit_url='http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/august2007/200807_straw_poll.htm' reddit_title='Establishment Media Ignores Ron Paul Straw Poll Success'
digg_title = 'Establishment Media Ignores Ron Paul Straw Poll Success'; digg_bodytext = 'The establishment media has sought to bury and scoff at Ron Pauls dominating success in the Alabama and New Hampshire straw polls, while exalting the meaningless Iowa contest as a bellwether benchmark of national sentiment simply because their stooge Mitt Romney was the winner.';
The establishment media has sought to bury and scoff at Ron Paul's dominating success in the Alabama and New Hampshire straw polls, while exalting the meaningless Iowa contest as a bellwether benchmark of national sentiment simply because their stooge Mitt Romney was the winner.
The Texas Congressman completely demolished the opposition in the Alabama straw poll, achieving 216 votes (81%) compared to Romney's 14 and Giuliani's 7.
He also trounced the contest's only southerner, Mike Huckabee, by a clear 210 votes.
The Alabama state primary will play a very prominent role in next year's presidential election because it is expected to be moved forward and become one of the first. Ron Paul was also victorious in New Hampshire this weekend after garnering 73% of the vote at the Strafford County GOP straw poll.
All the candidates had representatives in New Hampshire and Paul easily beat off Tancredo and Huckabee, who were there in person. A PR attempt on behalf of the Romney campaign to place signs all around the venue got a return of just 26 votes.

The significance of straw polls can be debated back and forth, but what can't be argued is the fact that Mitt Romney received lavish coverage from the media after his success in Iowa – despite the fact that the Iowa straw poll has historically proven to be meaningless – yet Paul's victory in Alamaba and New Hampshire was met with muted dismissal.
"Now, granted, Alan Keyes won the last contested GOP straw poll in 1999, followed by Orrin Hatch, with eventual nominee George W. Bush coming in third," writes Outside the Beltway's James Joyner, "But Pat Robertson won the Iowa straw poll in 1987 and the press still pretends that contest is meaningful. Indeed, the winner in Ames has only gone on to win the nomination once. George H.W. Bush won the poll in 1979 and went on to lose the nomination to Ronald Reagan. Then, Bush lost the poll in 1987 (to Robertson) only to win the nomination. The other George Bush won in Ames in 1999, though, and also won the whole thing. So they're 1 for 4!"
If the race was on a level playing field and the establishment media afforded as much attention to Ron Paul's success as they gave Mitt Romney after the Iowa straw poll, the Texas Congressman's campaign would be given unstoppable momentum, which is why at every turn the press have sought to dismiss, ridicule and ignore the only Constitutional candidate on the roster – Congressman Ron Paul.
What are the odds. You don't wanna know. You might rather ask…WHAT IN BLAZES DOES IT MEAN. It means anyone but THESE TWO. Otherwise, prepare for a painful future.

A Denver woman who donated her family's
vast ranch to promote hands-on agriculture education at the
University of Wyoming and Colorado State University says she's
disappointed the schools haven't made better use of her gift as a
teaching tool.
Now the universities are preparing to sell the Y Cross Ranch.
Amy Davis says if she could do it all over again, she wouldn't have
donated the property between Cheyenne and Laramie in southeast
Both schools acknowledge they haven't put the Y Cross Ranch to
maximum use. The agriculture dean at the University of Wyoming,
Francis Galey, says that as a working ranch, the Y Cross is a
difficult place to hold classes and host students.
University officials say the proceeds from the sale would
support scholarships in agriculture education.

Ok so in my last post I think I left off at Somerset House, which was lovely. The mulled wine was definitely a new experience and not one I think I could repeat very often, unless in small doses. Since the event is sponsored by Tiffany's all the hot drinks are served in Tiffany's cups. Unfortunately I didn't get any photos of them buuut I have heard that the Tiffany's hot chocolate is rather amazing so a return trip is definitely in order.
From Somerset House we walked up to Convent Garden which has definitely been one of the my favourite places so far. To compare, it is kind of like two massive Brisbane arcades running parallel to each other. They open up on to a huge court yard which has, yet another, massive Christmas tree. The decorations inside are my favourite though.
After Covent Garden we headed to China Town for dinner before heading to the Embankment to begin the three hour wait for the fireworks which looked something like this...
The fireworks were absolutely amazing and a very fitting end to a very long and jam-packed day. My next post will cover New Years Day and Monday. Hopefully I'll manage to catch up with my posting some time soon.

#Review: Oracle Of Philadelphia – Elizabeth Corrigan
Carrie's life has never been normal. She bears a power unlike any other. A power she wishes she could get rid off. It's not because she knows about what it can do. It's because she'd rather not know how things actually turn out. Known as the Oracle to many, she can foretell of things to come. Good or bad, she can see it all, and it sometimes wreaks havoc in her own life.
Determined to live the best life she can, Carrie immerses herself in her beloved diner. It might not be in the best of neighborhoods, and the food can be crappy on occasion, but it's her own slice of Heaven. Part of her, however, knows that she can't outrun her destiny. God knows she's tried, but when you know anything and everything, people are going to come at you no matter how hard you try to hide from prying eyes.
Her life is soon turned asunder when she meets Sebastian, a good man who's turned his life upside-down in order to save his sister. Carrie can't fault him for selling his soul to a demon in order to do just that. He has a heart of gold, and it shows in everything he does. So much so, that it stirs her own heart, making her yearn to help him in every way possible.
Deep inside, Carrie knows she should let things go. That she's shouldn't give Sebastian the helping hand he seeks. Doing so means she'll get into her own brand of trouble, but there's no way she's going to let him delve into the deepest darkest pits of Hell in order to achieve his goals. With no other option but to assist him, she soon comes to the realization that she'll need to give up a good many things in order to come out on top. The question is, will she be able to retain her sanity, her freedom, and the person she's now become once everything is said and done?
A wonderful start to what seems to be an awesome series, the Oracle of Philadelphia will take you for a ride as you strive to understand the goings-on between good and evil. A truly unique look at the machinations between angels and demons, Elizabeth delivers a thought-provoking story that leaves you wondering as to whether Heaven and Hell could truly be like what she depicts them to be. I'm certainly hooked, and look forward to what book two brings to the table. Trust me, you're going to want to dive into this series, too!

Carrie works at a diner in South Philadelphia, dispensing advice to humans and angels wise enough to seek her counsel. But there are some problems that even the best advice can't solve.
Her latest supplicant, Sebastian, is unique among those who have sought her aid. He sold his soul to a demon in exchange for his sister's life, but his heart remains pure.
Carrie has lived for millennia with the knowledge that her immortality is due to the suffering of others, and she cannot bear to see another good man damned when it is within her power to prevent it.
In order to renegotiate his contract, Carrie must travel into the depths of hell and parley with the demons that control its pathways. As the cost of her journey rises, Carrie must determine how much she is willing to sacrifice to save one good soul.

Our main source of support for the Refuge is, and has always been, through donations by wonderful people who know the inestimable value of protecting habitat in order to protect wildlife. Along the way, we had developed a few items to sell, promoting the Refuge and providing an alternate, but small source of support. As you might know, merchandising is extremely expensive, with high risks in terms of inventory, shipping issues and potential for returns. Combined with the cost of the items to us and the labor involved in this enterprise, these result in very little usable income for the Refuge. As a result, we limit our merchandise to those which can be supplied, from start to finish, by third parties. We will add to the items below as we find companies that can provide this service for us.
We will continue to provide certain educational materials free of charge (see below).
These are now supplied through Galloree.com. Here we have T-shirts with different styles, colors, designs and sizes. Below are samples of some of the colors and styles (click for larger view). Please go to Galloree.com to see more.
We have prepared prints of several of the wonderful watercolor illustrations by Refuge co-founder, artist, writer and naturalist Hope Sawyer Buyukmihci. These can be purchased through Zazzle, which fulfills orders from the public on our behalf. The images below are of reduced quality to show you what is available. You can click on each to see a higher resolution image; the copyright overlay will not be on the distributed prints.
The following are not currently available. If there is enough interest to warrant the expense of preparing them for sale, we will do so. Click on the caption for a print to send us a message with your preference.
These are free with a stamped, self-addressed, letter-sized envelope (please apply additional postage if ordering multiple items), or are available for download through links below:

Snoring and Mouth Breathing: Warning Signs
Mouth breathing, as opposed to air flowing freely through the nose, is a common phenomenon. What isn't common knowledge is how this impairment of air can adversely effect your health. Snoring is mouth breathing at night, typically the result of phlegm blocking nasal passages.
Phlegm accumulation can create masses, such as cysts, polyps, or tumors, anywhere in the body. Whether nasal obstruction is caused by phlegm, or the congealed phlegm of polyps or cysts, the resulting blockages can impair breathing.
Think of air passing through a trumpet or clarinet. The air blocked by pressing keys creates a range of sound. In a similar manner the obstruction of air flow through your nose and throat is the main reason for snoring.
Snoring causes more problems than loss of sleep for those subjected to the noise. Granted, sleep depravation for a partner or spouse is no trivial thing health wise. However, the health implications for the person snoring is rarely considered and more extensive.
Snoring and mouth breathing mean a reduction of available air. The louder and more annoying the snoring, the greater the nightly struggle for oxygen.
Try breathing through your mouth while pushing your tongue back as far as it will go. It cuts off your flow of air. Now try breathing through your nose with your tongue pushed back in the same position. Unless your nasal passages are clogged you should still be able to breath just fine.
If forced to breath through the mouth while reclining, the tongue or uvula can block the air supply, causing sleep apnea. Other structural issues such as a deviated septum can also impair the normal flow of air through the nose, in which case surgical intervention may be required.
Sleeping on the side or propped up can help prevent the obstruction of air through the mouth and reduce snoring but doesn't resolve nasal obstruction. A dry mouth at night can be an indication of mouth breathing.
If oxygen is cut off while sleeping, the body's instinct is to wake up just enough to remedy the situation by moving the tongue out of the way to obtain air. With sleep apnea, the cycle goes on throughout the night, waking just enough to gasp for air then falling back asleep.This method of sleeping causes sleep and oxygen depravation, which can lead to hypertension and strain on the heart. Recent genetic research suggest sleep depravation damages DNA.
Oxygen depravation impairs the body's ability to build and regenerate cells and deprives the cells in your body of energy needed to function. Oxygen depravation prevents the efficient burning of wastes and toxins in your body through oxidation. Oxygen depravation impairs the function of your brain: cognition, memory, and the ability to direct your body's movements. Five minutes without oxygen and the brain starts to die. Nine minutes results in brain death. Sleep apnea creates much shorter lapses of air than this but even minimal, chronic oxygen depravation to the brain is consider a probable component of neurological degenerative diseases.
All the cells in our bodies thrive in an oxygen rich atmosphere. What thrives with lack of oxygen are bacteria, fungus, viruses, parasites, and cancer cells.
Making sure our bodies have enough oxygen helps keep us mentally and physically strong with a robust immune system.
So what can be done to eliminate snoring and mouth breathing?
First, eliminate dairy from your diet. Once your air pathways are clear you can eat it again infrequently, but discontinue use if phlegm or impairment of breathing recur. Dairy creates a huge amount of mucus and phlegm. Yes, this includes butter and yogurt.
Second, minimize all damp foods: oily or greasy foods, nuts, seeds, nut and seed butters, cold foods, iced foods or drinks, raw foods, alcohol, and sugar, including all foods sweetened with anything except pure stevia.* ( No one should use artificial sweeteners since they cross the blood brain barrier, causing neurological disorders. Also they are extremely addictive.)
Third, increase cardiovascular exercise. If unable to exercise do deep breathing exercises. The heart is a muscle. Cardiovascular exercise strengthens the heart just like muscle building exercises strengthen other muscles. A strong heart pumps more oxygen throughout the body. Cardiovascular exercise also increases deep breathing, which improves lung capacity and the amount of oxygen drawn into the body.
Fourth, clean out your nose and sinuses daily. When you're in the shower, blow and clean out your nose. Steam from the shower loosens phlegm so it's more easily removed. Once or twice a day snort some warm, filtered water with sea salt dissolved in it, or use a nette pot. If you use a nette pot, be sure to rinse it regularly with boiling water or run it through the dishwasher to kill any bacteria or mold inside.
My protocol for patients who snore, predominately breath through their mouths, or suffer from phlegm obstruction varies per patient, depending on individual needs. Diet and digestion have to be addressed. There are foods that contribute to fat and phlegm production and those that aid in breaking them down. Any impairment in digestion can contribute to phlegm production.
One common denominator in phlegm obstruction is the body's inability to digest fats: the liver and gallbladder are necessary to break down fats.Those who've had their gallbladder removed should take a bile supplement with each meal. There are Chinese herbal formulas that assist in breaking down gallstones to prevent gallbladder impairment or removal.
Sugar consumption also contributes to phlegm. If you have sweet, alcohol, or junk food cravings chances are you have an overgrowth of Candida, which thrives when given food or drinks high on the glycemic index. I prescribe supplements for my patients that curb these cravings.
Cysts or polyps in the nasal passages or sinuses can obstruct air flow. Herbal formulas dissolve these types of masses.
Snoring and mouth breathing are not something to laugh at; not a mere annoyance. Snoring and mouth breathing are the body's gasp for help and a warning of health issues on the horizon if ignored.

Assignment: Human Angel May 6, 2012
Your mission...
Should you choose to Remember is...Human Angel is time to awaken and evolve.
Is to evolve your light, open your heart and stand in your power. It is time!
Is to evolve your light, open your heart and stand in your power. It is time!
You are a Lightworker and a Human Angel...Now What?
Eons ago, you accepted a contract. A mission to boldly return should man reach a stage in their evolution for a great shift. That time is here and that time is now.
Welcome to Assignment: Human Angel.
As you step fully into this contract you have begun to question your reality as you remember there is more. As you begin to awaken your inner knowingness and remember you are more than just a physical being have a physical journey, life as you know it begins to change.
Welcome lightworker, welcome Human Angel!
I first heard the term Lightworker in the late 90's from Doreen Virtue's book "The Lightworker's Way". It is an awesome book that I encourage anyone just beginning to give it a read. I felt much less strange knowing that there were more of us. This is her journey of awakening her healing and clairvoyant powers. I first heard the term Human Angel at a Lightworker workshop with Steve Rother, author of Re-member and several other wonderful books. Chances are if you are reading this article, you are a lightworker and a Human Angels.
When I began the Angel Assignment mail out it was to help the listeners of Calling all Angels with prayers, affirmations, and homework from the angels. I had to stop putting it out as typing had become a challenge. Recently I have felt guided to start it up again and it seems to be taking on a transformation very quickly. The angels are such great coaches when we open up ourselves to their guidance. As I am trying to work smarter with the ideas they drop into my consciousness, I find that they are helping in wondrous ways. So, now this will be known as Assignment: Human Angel. It will contain teachings to help us evolve with more ease and compassion as we we traverse these shifting times together. If there is a topic or area you would like more information about, please send us an email.
Opening your heart is not always easy, especially if you have felt let down or hurt by others. However when you do allow for yourself to love and be vulnerable, it is a journey worth taking. Holding our hearts only hurts ourselves. It makes the world seem dark and unsafe and nothing is further from the truth. As a lightworker, you have come to Earth at this time to teach about love. It when you open you heart that you truly understand the grandness of this mission and the importance of your becoming a role model of peace. The key to teaching about love is to feel it for yourself and your life first. Spend some time contemplating what you like about yourself. Make of list of these aspects. Don't be shy, this is only your list and no one else needs to see or understand it. Next, change the word to love in every sentence and create cards with these affirmations on them. For example, one of the things I like about myself is "I like that I can create space to let others know they are not alone on this journey." when I convert that statement to Love. It is so much more powerful. "I love that I can create space to let others know that they are not alone on this journey."
As you continue to do this for every aspect in your life, you will find that you are more frequently in a state of centeredness, love, compassion, and peacefulness than in any other state. You will also, by virtue of the Law of Attraction, attract more of that energy to you, and create a circle of friends of a similar vibration. You will act like a beacon to help teach others about peace, which is a Divine mission indeed.
Love and eternal Light, Sharon

Literacy–and education in general–is very important in our house. We've been reading books to our kids since before they could sit up. We've been encouraging them to practice writing their letters since before preschool.
And it's paid off. My kids can now either read or sound out words, depending on the child and their age. It's an amazing thing to watch. One moment you have this tiny little baby who can't do anything for themselves, and a few short years later they have the skills they need to consume any bit of knowledge they seek after. I'm simultaneously proud and awestruck.
Along the way, we've used some tools that have been super helpful. They just happen to be pretty darn frugal, too.
ABCmouse.com has been one of our favorites since toddlerhood. It's a curriculum disguised as a computer game, built by educators. The kiddos actually beg me to play it.
Not only has it been a huge help in teaching them how to read, but it's also been great for teaching them computer literacy. A year-long subscription is affordable as far as I'm concerned, but you can check and see if it's a good match for your kids by trying it for free for 30 days.
Super Why
True story: sometimes our kids watch TV. We noticed that after they started watching Super Why their interest in reading in general skyrocketed. It's not like they weren't interested at all before, but they started working harder at things like writing their letters and learning what the heck a "rhyming word" was.
We did this for $0 through Netflix, but the program will likely get rotated out eventually. You can also find episodes at Barnes & Noble.
Alphabet Magnets
Before they could write, we would practice "writing" their names on the fridge with their alphabet magnets. As they got older, we started using them to sound out words. Today, we're using them to sort out when to use a capital and when to use the lowercase.
We got ours for free at the library, but you can find an affordable set via Discount School Supply.
Magnetic Doodle Board
Our magnetic doodle board was the number one thing that encouraged our kids to work on their fine motor skills–which enabled them to write letters. While we're definitely going to work on writing more legibly with lined paper, this device is what sparked interest at all.
Our first was a hand-me-down, and the second was a birthday gift. You easily find one for under $25, though, if you're buying new.
The Library
The library, of course, has been our number one tool to teach our kids literacy. Every time they go, they have the freedom to pick out a book that meets their current interests. When they were younger, we did weekly story time. Every year, we participate in the summer reading program. As a reward, the library gives them a book to take home for keeps.
The best part of the library? It's absolutely free, and odds are, there's one near you.

Energy efficiency can enhance human health
- by reducing greenhouse gas emissions,
- improving outdoor air quality,
- and decreasing acid rain.
It can change our lives, and the lives of our patients and children.
When you think of clean energy what comes to mind?
A change in power plant behavior (or really the behavior of the humans that run them)?
Reduced CO2 emissions?
A fundamental overhaul of society's way of thinking about our dwindling resources?
Me too...
And although there is something we can do about that, there are few among us that have the time and inclination get involved in these global issues. If that's you - you can still make a difference so don't stop reading!
What Can We do?
Its simple, we can change our behavior. If every nurse in the United States became more aware of his/her power usage, collectively we could impact the entire Healthcare industry.
Nurses are the biggest workforce in the Healthcare industry. You may have heard that before… but did you know we are the most trusted profession too? Above doctors, above psychologists, above religious leaders – the nurse.
It's not surprising really, we put our heart and soul into caring for our patients, but can you imagine if we use that trust to influence the minds and behavior of those lives we touch?
We can actually become the key to that fundamental overhaul of society's way of thinking about our dwindling resources.
How we can change the world
Set the example
Change our own behavior. Become more away of what we are doing.
You know what to do, it's the simple things we all know about - Switch the lights off – use energy efficient lightbulbs – don't leave cell phones charging - switch off all machinery that's not being used…
All that stuff, we know it, but let's live it. Every energy efficient decision is a gift we give ourselves, and one another
Talk about it with your coworkers, your patients, and your family. You can do this naturally without launching into a 'Save-the-Planet' lecture. Phrases thrown in here and there, explanations when you make decisions to conserve energy – show that you are passionate about health, show how that extends to our environment and what we the health of future generations.
Learn a little and make decision makers aware
If you have influence with the decision makers of your organization make them aware of steps they can take to improve energy efficiency.
Check out Energy Star's Building Upgrade Manual, which talks about thing such as Healthcare facilities examining and analyzing energy use to determine where it could be possible to cut back.
The US Department of Energy also provides several energy efficiency fact sheets on buying energy efficient equipment including:
- How to Buy an Energy Efficient Commercial Unitary Air Conditioner
- How to Buy an Energy-Efficient Water-Cooled Chiller
- How to Buy an Energy-Efficient Air-Cooled Chiller
- How to Buy an Energy-Efficient Commercial Boiler
- How to Buy an Energy Efficient Commercial Heat Pump
- How to Buy an Energy Efficient Ground Source Heat Pump
- How to Buy an Energy Efficient Centrifugal Pumping System
Use your energy, your enthusiasm, to influence the world around you.
Nurses changes lives every day, we can broaden our sphere of influence to include changing the environment.
