It's time to look at a relatively obscure Mario game known as Hoops 3 on 3. Basketball and Football are the two big sports that never got a home console game to themselves and at this point I'm wondering if they ever will. Nintendo has been moving away from sport titles after all and maybe they just didn't know how to pull it off in a satisfying way. Ah well, at least when I get Sports Mix, I'll get a taste of what a basketballl game would have been like. Hoops does do a good job on the DS though and is a lot of fun so I'll take what I can get.
The game really focuses on tournament mode and vs mode. I believe that there may be a mini game mode as well but I didn't end up trying that one. There are 4 tournaments to play through and each of them have 3 rounds except for the final tournament which is 4 rounds. This is less than most Mario sport games which tend to have 6 tournaments but I suppose it's because the developers wanted to make sure it didn't get tedious. 4 tournaments is a fine number I suppose.
The game is definitely meant for those who are right handed as you use the control stick/pad to move and then you use the stylus to shoot or pass. You can also dribble faster by tapping the screen a lot which I did for fun a lot, but never in a way that was particularly useful. It was just a lot of fun to tap away. You are able to use super attacks which can't miss and can't be blocked, but I couldn't figure out how to use it. I chalked it up to cheesy A.I. game mechanics and called it a day. There are a bunch of techniques that I didn't learn here and I suppose I could have finished the tutorial, but why bother right? I can beat these guys using pure fundamentals!
Each game is 5 minutes long which is divided into two halves. For the first 2 tournaments you will probably want to consider just holding onto the hall and not scoring after you take the lead to make the game go quicker. After all, scoring just prolongs the game so if you have a safe lead then you don't need to go further. Do make sure that it's a safe lead though as a normal shot is worth 20 points and any coins that have been accumulated by the enemy are added to the total. You can easily see a 40 point lead get wiped away with a single shot. For my gameplay tip, I would recommend running to the bottom side of the court and just running back and forth. The computers usually can't catch you and if they get bold and try to undercut you, just head up. This strategy is close to full proof for 50% of the game.
The game definitely went all out when it comes to the visuals and the sound. The graphics are on point and have aged really well for the DS. The character models are sound and a nice amount of effort went to the gameplay elements like the actual basketball and the courts. Everything is very vibrant which is nice to see. Same goes for the soundtrack. It's fun to hear all of the iconic Mario themes like Bowser's Airship. We even get a brand new song which talks about how they are all heroes. It's definitely catchy and I hadn't been expecting a lyrical song like this one to pop up. I'm certainly glad that it did though as the song gives the game more personality. Then we've also got Mario's sound effects. He talks a little more than usual here like even speaking during the song. Most impressive for the usually silent main character.
As far as the length goes, that is naturally less impressive. The tournaments will take you a little less than 2 hours. This means that the game will live or die on its replay value. You do unlock the tournaments for a second time which you can try clearing on hard mode. I'm sure that would be a reasonably fun challenge. Then the rest of the replay value is in fighting other players in vs mode. Definitely a longer experience back when the DS servers were still functional. Still it will be a fun 2 hours so if you can get the game for a good price then you will be set. 25$ is certainly pushing it though so I'd recommend thinking long and hard about it. I suppose it beats most other 25$ purchases if you look away from the medium though.
Overall Mario Hoops 3 on 3 may be a very short title but it is quite polished. A good amount of effort was put into the game. The basketball gameplay is on point and it could be used exactly how it was here in a new Switch game at some point. I do like how they made longer shots a little more realistic to score as you can shoot a ball from very far away and then jump after it go force the ball in. It wouldn't have gone in without your intervention so that's why jumping after it is extremely important. Against a real opponent you will definitely have to huddle since they will have the same idea. In this game you feel powerful on both offense and defense which is important. There are also quite a few advanced gameplay mechanics that will help you out once you take the time to learn them. When you buy the game, prepare yourself for the intense secret final boss!
Overall 7/10

Vertigo is a very specific kind of dizziness: the feeling that you're going around and around or that the inside of your head is spinning. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common cause of this condition.
Each part of the name describes a key part of the inner-ear disorder:
- Benign means it's not very serious. Your life is not in danger.
- Paroxysmal means that it hits suddenly and lasts a short time.
- Positional means you trigger the vertigo with certain postures or movements.
It's common, and usually can be treated in a doctor's office.
In rare cases, the problem can be serious if it increases your chances of falling. If you get these attacks often, it could point to other medical conditions. They're often hard to diagnose, though.
What Causes BPPV?
Inside your ear are tiny crystals of calcium carbonate. You might think of them as "ear rocks." They're also called "otoconia."
Sometimes the crystals come loose from their normal spot in your ear and move to other areas, including the canals in your ears that sense your head's rotation. Once there, they can clump together.
Because the clump is heavy compared with other things in your ear, it will sink to the lowest part of your inner ear.
When you turn or change position, the clump will cause the fluid in your inner ear to slosh around after you've stopped moving. That creates the sense that you're moving even though you are still.
There are any number of ways you could trigger BPPV:
- Rolling over in bed
- Getting in and out of bed
- Bending over
- Tipping your head back
- Quick head movements
If you move one of these ways and find yourself dizzy or it seems as though the room is spinning, you may have BPPV. Other symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and losing your balance.
Usually, you can expect to have rhythmic eye movements when you get BPPV. Your doctor might call this "nystagmus," and it's what she'll likely look for if she thinks you have vertigo.
Who Usually Gets It?
You're more likely to get BPPV if you're older. That's because parts of the inner ear start to show wear and tear.
In many cases, it simply comes on without warning. In people younger than 50, head injury is the most common cause of BPPV.
Other causes include:
- Having your head in the same position for a long time -- at the dentist's office or the hairdresser, for instance
- High-intensity aerobics
- Riding a bike over rough trails
- An inner-ear disorder such as Meniere's disease
- Being in the hospital or on bed rest at home for a long time
- A certain type of migraine
When to Call Your Doctor
If you have dizziness off and on for more than a week, you should make an appointment with your doctor.
You may be able to figure out before your visit which ear is affected. Here's how to do that:
- Sit on your bed so that your head will hang over the edge when you lie down.
- Turn your head to the right and lie down quickly.
- Wait 1 minute. If you feel dizzy, the right side is affected.
- If you don't feel dizzy, sit up, wait a little bit and repeat the test with your left side.
- If you feel dizzy when you repeat the test, your left side is affected.
Call your doctor at once if you're dizzy or:
- A new or severe headache sets in.
- You have a fever.
- You're seeing double or not at all.
- It's hard to talk.
- You're falling down or you can't walk.
Your doctor will ask questions about your general health and your symptoms.
She will also look for the telltale eye movement of nystagmus. She may ask you to lie on your back on a table with your head tilted back off it. This is to show whether you can control your eye movements.
Your doctor also will look to see if symptoms of dizziness happen when your eyes or head move in a certain direction, and if doing so makes you dizzy for less than a minute.
The doctor might also conduct a test using infrared goggles.
Your doctor may be able to stop your BPPV with a treatment in the office that moves the loose crystals in your ear into a spot that will cause less trouble. To do this, she most likely will use the Epley maneuver. A less common action -- at least in the U.S. -- is the Semont maneuver. Each one takes about 15 minutes.
You will have to rest in the office for about 10 minutes before you can go home to make sure you don't have any quick episodes of vertigo as the crystals resettle.
You will need someone to drive you. Wear comfortable clothes so you can move easily.
Once you get home, you'll need to follow specific instructions. These may include:
- Sleeping with your head at a 45-degree angle -- either in a recliner or propped up on a sofa -- for 2 nights.
- Keeping your head vertical for 2 days. You may have to avoid certain exercises and modify your movements during shaving and washing your hair.
- For a week, you will need to avoid head movements that might bring on BPPV. You may need to sleep with two pillows and avoid sleeping on the affected side.
In very rare cases, you might need surgery to cure the problem. It involves plugging part of your inner ear to prevent the small calcium crystals from moving in your ear canal.
Surgery carries a small chance of complications, including loss of hearing.
What Can I Do at Home?
Even after successful treatment for your BPPV, it can come back. However, you can come up with a plan at home to help keep future bouts at bay. You should:
- Be aware of your chances of falling.
- Sit down at once if you feel dizzy.
- Use good lighting if you get up at night.
If your BPPV comes back, you can take steps to deal with your symptoms until you see a doctor. For instance, you can:
- Avoid sleeping on the affected side.
- Sleep with two or more pillows under your head.
- When you wake in the morning, lift your head slowly and sit on the side of the bed for a moment before you stand up.
- Avoid bending over to pick things up.
Your doctor may teach you a maneuver you can try at home to move the loose ear crystals back into a better place.

Painting trim
9 comments
Isn't white a funny "color"? Our white is actually off of a green card but doesn't look green at all. The tones just went well with everything else in the house so we've used it ever since. (BM Snowfall White). So I say stick to your guns!ReplyDelete
Adding the tint only makes the paint a bit more opaque and it is not necessary if you like the color of the base. I have used the regular base white for painting my signs for years and just recently started to have the tint added. We live in a small community with a small hardware store so I am quite well known to the paint counter lady, she is very well versed in paint and she told me that about adding the tint. Benjamin Moore Simply White is most likely what you would be looking for in a tinted version of white, it is the same tint as the base white. I like their Natura brand as it has no odor/VOCs but excellent coverage.ReplyDelete
Goodness, it seems like you'll be painting non-stop for a least the next month. It does make a big difference though and I would do it also. I like the new wall color you have picked out - - more true grey I think.ReplyDelete
I love the white trim,,,,I have Benjamin Moore Grey Owl as my wall color and I love it! Have fun painting!! It will look awesome!ReplyDelete

Thank you for shearing that all of painting pictures. All wall panting and Room decoration is very beautiful. Looking very nice.ReplyDelete
Love it! I want to do the exact same thing in our house. We painted all of our taupe trim "white" ten years ago, but we used BM Linen White, which is very creamy. Now, I'm ready for WHITE, not cream. :) The sad thing is, that we just painted our kitchen cabinets, which took forever..., and of course, we matched them to the Linen White trim. Ugh. I made that decision because we were planning to sell and we just wanted it done, but now we've decided to stay, and I'm really not happy with the cream cabinets. My husband swore he would never EVER paint cabinets again, so... looks like we'll be saving up for a while to hire a painter. ;)ReplyDelete

Okay, the Kane/Bret Hart thing was kind of predictable but no less fun to watch. I'm still dying to know how the GM is, man. I wonder when they'll tell us.
Interesting, they used Daniel Bryan as a pro in that match. (Unless this happened on NXT already and I missed it, haha.) I like it. It was a great move putting the rookies on such a big show, though. The match seemed to go pretty well.
Um, that Divas match barely existed. Which is a shame because I was actually looking forward to it. Whaaaat. They want to unify the Divas belts now? I'm annoyed. The Divas Championship (that not so great looking pink thing) is still very new, and I really love that Womens' belt. I can only guess which one they'll get rid of if that do that….Plus, I think having two titles right now is a good thing because the quality of the womens' wrestling is increasing right now and having the belts on each show could be really beneficial.
Thought the JR shoutouts were nice. Every time they show a clip with him announcing I miss him!
Wow, okay. The whole Nexus/Undertaker thing….that's like, WWE passing the torch right there. I'm certainly not saying 'Taker's done, because he will be around forever. But like…having former "rookies" who haven't been around that long and giving them such a major push, now with beating up the UNDERTAKER, that is a big deal. Hello, run-on sentence.
Ha, Swagger vs. Bourne. Two guys who lost their momentum a bit, sadly. And then Del Rio. Interesting. Gosh I love that Shooting Star Press, though. I'm a little worried that Del Rio's schtick is going to get kind of old if he keeps doing the exact same thing. Gets heat though and that's what they're going for.
Ehhh don't like seeing the SES without Serena. She helped balance them (I kind of made that up but it's really kind of true). Punk's promo was funny, though, and very well done. Show always cracks me up though. Man, I was really hoping The Rock was there, though. I also can't believe they let Punk mention that Katie Vick thing….
Edge is another one who just nails his promos and matches all the time. Always entertaining! I have to say I enjoyed the last few falls of the match with Orton and especially the last one with Barrett. It was just fun to watch and not completely predictable.
Overall I thought RAW was pretty good. Some of the matches were a little short for my liking, but I enjoyed the flashbacks they had and I didn't see anything really stupid that upset me as can sometimes happen. I like it when they bring in the Superstars from other brands, it's fun and you can get some great matches.

Note: I received this mug for free from GoneReading.com to honestly review. That said, I've purchased things from their site and actually love them, already.
You're probably asking yourself how I could possibly review a coffee mug because, well, aren't they all the same? And to this, I will respond: NO. Not all coffee mugs are made equally. Some let the heat out and burn your hands, some are too small and one Keurig pod practically overflows it, and some are tall and skinny while others are short and wide (which is a personal preference).
So, beyond the fact that this coffee mug is amazing and covered in literary lines, it also meets all of my qualifications for a good mug. It doesn't burn my hands, it's big enough not to overflow, and it's on the "stouter and wider" side, but not so much that it's a big old saucer. Plus, it's a conversation starter. I've been using it at work and everyone who sees it asks me about it, which then leads to conversations about books, which of course is the end goal of any good conversation.

By Chris
Nothing strikes fear into the hearts of parents everywhere more than The Talk. You know the one I mean. In the top 10 of memorable parenting events, it ranks up there right after sleeping through the night and potty training, and right before sending them off to college.
What I didn't realize before I had a child this age, was that there wouldn't just be The Talk. There would be many talks. And that it wouldn't get easier, from my perspective at least.
When my oldest son was about 10 years old I brought up the topic in the car one day when we were alone. He had never asked any real questions about the process, but he is an avid reader and knowledgeable about all things animal and reptile. And based on things he had said, I had the impression that he had some idea about the mechanics. We'd had vague discussions in the past that seemed to satisfy his curiosity, but I felt like he needed more information than he had asked for. I certainly don't want him getting misinformation from other kids or thinking that it is a taboo subject.
I was thankful that I was driving and that it was dark in the car so he couldn't see my face when he called it "mating," and I was thankful that I was able to play off my laughing as a coughing attack when he exclaimed, "Wow, you mean you and Dad did that SEVEN times?" And then he shuddered.
"Why did you tell me this?" he asked, as we pulled into our driveway.
"Uh, I thought you might be curious and interested."
"No, not really. It's not like it's any big deal or anything."
Oh my son, soon enough it will be a big deal, I thought at the time, such a big deal in fact that your brain will seemingly stop working and you will think of little else.
I'll be the first to admit that I am at a loss. Having grown up as an only child with a single mother, I am clueless about anything Y-chromosome related. I want my husband to step forward and talk more with him, and his younger brothers, but it doesn't seem to come up naturally in conversation for them either.
I am talking about more than just the mechanics. You know, the feelings and emotions and fantasies and dreams... Now I am shuddering and resisting the urge to put my hands over my ears and shout, "La, la, la, I can't hear you."
I don't think I am ready for this. Two-year-olds are much easier in retrospect. Their needs are simple. And yet, I haven't found a way to make him stop growing up.
So, Internet, I ask you: How did you handle these "talks"? Are books the way to go? Any tips or tricks? If I send them away to military school, will they tell them there?
Chris is a writer, artist, wife and the mother of seven children. She lives in an historic old house in New England that is perpetually under renovations.

The Meaning of Dreams and Your Life – Carl Jung's Dream Theories and Real Love Challenges
Carl Jung was the only one who managed to discover the real meaning of dreams. I continued his research, proving that his theories were important discoveries. All the other methods of dream interpretation are misleading attempts to understand the meaning of dreams based on suppositions.
You may think that I'm exaggerating. There are many other scientists in our world who have seriously studied the meaning of dreams. How can I despise the value of their work and declare that only Carl Jung was correct?
I'm more than sure that only Jung was correct because he cured my neurosis with his knowledge. After finding sound mental health, I cured many other people with his method of dream interpretation.
Only Carl Jung cared about understanding the dream logic, without distorting the meaning of dreams with his personal opinion. He made a very arduous research, analyzing the symbolism contained in dreams, religious manifestations, and artistic expressions of many different people from various civilizations. He related this knowledge to the mysterious chemistry of the alchemists. Then, he related his findings to his experiences as a psychiatrist.
Dreams follow the unconscious logic, which is not based on selfishness, like the logic followed by our conscience. We are very selfish creatures, and this is why we protect our ego more than anything else. However, our ego is absurd because it is ignorant and insatiable.
Dreams are basically warnings and lessons that protect our mental stability and correct our behavior. For example, the figures of the animus or anima, which represent our perfect match, protect our mental health from many traps. Love is near craziness because it makes us become even more selfish than what we usually are.
The animus or anima are archetypes because they represent human experiences that belong to humanity in general. Archetypes represent the repetition of the same life situations in the lives of all human beings.
Everyone looks for his or her perfect match. This is why the animus and the anima are very important archetypes that frequently appear in young people's dreams. Through their images, the unconscious mind teaches all dreamers all the aspects of a love relationship, giving them many lessons and warnings.
The animus or anima are not merely symbolic representations. They represent a real human being who is the dreamer's perfect match. Some day the dreamer will meet his or her perfect match in real life. Dreams prepare all dreamers for this meeting.
Thus, the unconscious lessons in dreams are not theoretical. They prepare all dreamers for facing the challenges of love with caution.
The dream symbols are the same for everyone in our world, in all civilizations and historical times. However, dream symbols are definitions that depend on the way they are used in order to give a certain message to someone. This is why you must always relate all dream symbols to your life in order to perfectly translate the dream messages.
I greatly simplified Jung's method of dream interpretation for you. This means that now you can immediately understand the important messages that preserve your sanity. In other words, now you can avoid repeating common human mistakes, and find true happiness in life.
Christina Sponias continued Carl Jung's research into the human psyche, discovering the cure for all mental illnesses, and simplifying the scientific method of dream interpretation that teaches you how to accurately translate the meaning of your dreams, so that you can find health, wisdom and happiness.

According to a 2012 report by the National Shoe Retailers Association, the average American woman's shoe size is between size 8 1/2 and 9. This is a worldwide trend, as a 2012 British report found that the average British woman wears a British size 6, or U.S. size 8 shoe.
Women's shoe sizes have been increasing since the beginning of the 20th century. This seems to correspond with the increase in the average female height and weight throughout that time period. Experts also theorize that this growth may have something to do with processed food consumption stimulating growth hormone production. Taller women tend to have larger feet.

Falling asleep can be very difficult if you have insomnia causes. Many people cannot fall asleep once they've laid down. If you often find yourself tossing and turning for hours or even being unable to go to bed at all, continue reading this article to learn more about how you can deal with this problem.
Keep an eye on the ventilation and temperature conditions in your bedroom. A room that is too hot or cold can make you uncomfortable. This make it harder to sleep in that room. Keep that thermostat at around 65 for better sleeping conditions.
Be sure to get ample physical exercise. You might not know it, but office workers are more affected by insomnia than others are. It is important to get plenty of exercise to become tired in order to get good sleep. At the very least, try to walk for a mile after a long day at work.
Your bedroom should be a zone of comfort if you want to avoid sleep issues. Avoid alarm clocks with a display that is too bright. Get a decent mattress that properly supports your body well.
Try going to sleep by having your body in a north to south plane.Keep your feet south and your head pointed north.It sounds kind of weird, but many swear by it.
Write down all of your pre-bedtime activities. The journal can reveal some thoughts or activities that keep you pinpoint what is causing your insomnia causes. When you know the root of your problem, you'll be in a better position to make some changes.
Try rubbing your stomach. Keeping your stomach stimulated is a great way to beat insomnia. Rubbing your tummy improves digestion and relaxes the body. You probably would never think that your stomach might be the problem, so this could be the tip you've been waiting for!
Don't drink anything for a few hours before going to bed. This can interrupt sleep and make your insomnia causes worse, so avoid all beverages in the last three hours of your day.
Many people find themselves watching their clock which makes insomnia causes worse.Worrying about being late to work or not looking after the kids can also keep you up all night.
Exercise is a great way to improve your sleeping ability. Be sure you're done with exercising about 3 hours prior to bed to avoid it negatively affecting your sleep pattern.
Practice breathing deeply when you are in your bed. Deep breathing can cause your entire body to relax. This can help push you over the edge to sleep. Take deep breaths over and over. Inhale through the nose and exhale through your mouth. It may only take a short time before your mind and body are ready to sleep.
Classical music might help you fall asleep.Many people swear that this type of music helps them sleep. It is relaxing music that you may need to find sleep quickly.
A supplement called 5-HTP may be helpful in doses of 100mg at night could help you sleep. This dosage has been shown to help people with depression sleep better. Speak with a doctor before using this medication.
Do you remember getting bedtime stories to you when you were little? Try listening to an audio-book and letting it play as he or she reads a beloved story.
Hot water bottles can be used in bed. The warmth of a hot water bottle soothes and relaxes you. It's a simple but effective way to drift off more quickly. Put the bottle directly on your stomach. Breathe deeply and let the heat go through your body.
It would be a much better idea to talk to your doctor about the issue to see if he may be able to provide alternatives for you.

Prenuptial agreements are becoming more and more common for married couples these days. Because of cultural changes, younger generations are now entering into marriage with a different perception of prenuptial agreements than the generations before them. A significant number of millennials now think that having a prenup in place before marriage is a good idea.
Prenuptial agreements are also popular among people who are going into their second marriage. People who are marrying for a second time tend to have job security, homes, and are usually financially established. This means they have more assets to lose in the event of a divorce.
Sadly, not all marriages will stand the test of time and about half of all couples will wind up getting divorced. Although some people are still hesitant to get a prenup, we explain the benefits of having a prenuptial agreement in place.
What Does a Prenup Do?
A prenuptial agreement is a marital document you make prior to getting married. This legal document details who gets what assets and why in case of divorce.
Prenuptial agreements can be used to:
- Define marital or community property
- Support your estate plan
- Protect the property you had before marriage
- Clarify special agreements or arrangements made between spouses
- Outline procedures and rules for deciding future issues
The biggest benefit of having a prenup is that it essentially establishes the ground-rules for your marriage. It can also decrease future arguments over property and assets, especially when both parties feel that the agreement is fair. Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements can also be used to help make your will. Because your descendants and heirs cannot change the conditions of your agreement, it will ensure that your wishes are followed after you die.
Can a Prenup be Voided By the Court?
A prenuptial agreement can be voided for the following reasons:
- The prenup is not in writing
- Assets were not disclosed
- The prenup was singed under pressure or coercion
- The prenup contains invalid claims
Although prenuptial agreements are often stigmatized by the public, they can actually help strengthen your relationship. Making a prenuptial agreement requires open and honest communication about things like money and debt. Speaking about such issues can eliminate misunderstandings between you and your spouse that might otherwise cause a rift in your relationship.
Do you need help drafting your prenuptial agreement? You should immediately consult with our family law attorneys. At the Law Offices of Steven P. Monaghan, we are here to answer all of your questions and concerns. Let us put our skills and experience to work for you today.

New from the National Academies Press:
In the past decade, few subjects at the intersection of medicine and sports have generated as much public interest as sports-related concussions – especially among youth. Despite growing awareness of sports-related concussions and campaigns to educate athletes, coaches, physicians, and parents of young athletes about concussion recognition and management, confusion and controversy persist in many areas. Currently, diagnosis is based primarily on the symptoms reported by the individual rather than on objective diagnostic markers, and there is little empirical evidence for the optimal degree and duration of physical rest needed to promote recovery or the best timing and approach for returning to full physical activity.
Sports-Related Concussions in Youth: Improving the Science, Changing the Culture reviews the science of sports-related concussions in youth from elementary school through young adulthood, as well as in military personnel and their dependents. This report recommends actions that can be taken by a range of audiences – including research funding agencies, legislatures, state and school superintendents and athletic directors, military organizations, and equipment manufacturers, as well as youth who participate in sports and their parents – to improve what is known about concussions and to reduce their occurrence. Sports-Related Concussions in Youth finds that while some studies provide useful information, much remains unknown about the extent of concussions in youth; how to diagnose, manage, and prevent concussions; and the short- and long-term consequences of concussions as well as repetitive head impacts that do not result in concussion symptoms.

Your family and your love must be cultivated like a garden. Time, effort, and imagination must be summoned constantly to keep any relationship flourishing and growing.
~ Jim Rohn ~
Family Closeness
Feely Bag
Get two bags or two old socks. Place identical items in each of the two bags or socks. Some suggested items to use are: bottle caps, cotton balls, small sponge pieces, keys, large buttons, etc. Show your children the two bags and match each set of two items one to one. In this way, the child will see and understand that there are two identical items of each kind. Refill the two bags or socks and give one of the bags containing identical objects to the child. Take one of the objects out of the bag and show it to the child. Tell the child to feel in his bag for an object that is just like the one that you took out of your bag. Remind the child to "feel" not look.
Questions for stimulating discussion in your family.
Opposite Sharing
Brooklyn Lindsey in Opposite Day presents the idea of talking in opposites as a way of helping young people share. In essence this means answering a question the opposite of what you really think.
Using opposites, get your family member to tell you in a few sentences what they really think and feel about:
- Making mistakes
- What makes them happy
- Their favourite hobby
With your family read Mark 10.13-16
(for a way of explaining/talking about this reading with children look at http://www.sermons4kids.com/against_us_or_for_us.htm
Questions for Discussion:
- Why do you think people brought their children to Jesus?
- Why do you think the disciples were telling them not to come?
- What do it mean to receive the kingdom of God like a child?
Prayer and Celebration
Praying in the moment
Praying in the moment means helping children to learn that God is with them every moment of the day. Whenever you are about to do something significant, whether it is the first day back at school or the start of a day at a fun park, pause to thank God for all that lies before you and invite Jesus to be with you that day. If it is something hard you are about to do ask God to help you and give you the things you need to confront it.
Family Time
Story Night
Dedicate a night to telling stories. Ask each member to bring and tell a story. This could be something that happened to them, a story they have made up or the retelling of a story that they have read. Stories are not allowed to be read.

Something called a "flexible classroom" is being this year at Minter Creek Elementary School. When asked for a definition of this new concept, Principal Ty Robuck said, "I'll show you."
Leanne Mebus sat in her second-grade classroom at her learning table listening to a student read from his fluency folder. Three other students followed along in their own fluency folders. The folders contain 14 vocabulary-appropriate reading exercises, about 200 words long, and exercises.
The student reading snapped his fingers to indicate a period. Mebus discussed difficulties that came up in the reading as they arose. One point she discussed was the information provided by capital letters. She provided individual instruction to four students at a time for the duration of the reading sessions. There was a feeling of accomplishment among the students as the number of errors declined during the exercises.
While this went on, most of the rest of the students were paired up on the other side of the room, taking turns reading quietly to each other; each was a reader and a coach.
The second-graders at Minter have been grouped into three classes according to their reading ability. Students in the advanced group are provided enrichment opportunities when they become proficient in the skills being taught. Extra help is given to those in the least proficient group.
Learning Assistance Program coach Sally Gallagher and the three second-grade teachers evaluate the students every six weeks. A student who is progressing well may be moved to a more proficient class, while one who needs more help can move to where more help is provided. The classrooms are adjacent to one another so students who move just go to the class next door.
"Students whose parents read to them have a big head start when learning to read," Gallagher said. "One of the most important factors affecting student performance in school is their parent's attitude toward learning. If their parents think learning is important, then students generally do well."
Gallagher said the reading program has been in use for five years and students have improved every year. It is federally funded under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Title I provides financial assistance to schools with high percentages of children from low-income families to help ensure that all children meet academic standards. A similar, state-funded program called What I Need (known as WIN) is used for the fifth-grade math classes.

Midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek claims he is eager to repay Chelsea's faith in his abilities after putting pen to paper on a brand new contract that will keep him at Stamford Bridge for a further five years. The 20-year-old academy graduate has gone on to make 13 appearances for the club since debuting as a late substitute during a Champions League win over Sporting CP back in December 2014, scoring his only senior goal to date in an FA Cup third-round defeat of Scunthorpe.
Speaking after his extension was announced, Loftus-Cheek told Chelsea's official website: "I'm delighted to sign a new contract at Chelsea and my focus is on working hard in training every day in order to push on and establish myself in the team. It really means a lot because this shows the club believe in me so I'm really happy.
"The club have done so much for me since I started here as an Under-8 and now I want to repay the faith they've shown in me with my performances on the pitch."
Chelsea have been routinely criticised for failing to provide a clear pathway for youngsters into their first team over recent years and whether or not Loftus-Cheek continues to buck that trend depends on exactly who is appointed as the permanent successor to Guus Hiddink this summer.
The England U21 international has featured four times under the club's interim boss, although appeared to be subject to something of a tough approach from predecessor Jose Mourinho. He was singled out for considerable criticism following a post-season friendly against Sydney FC in June 2015, with the player's former boss casting doubt upon a back injury while chastising his defensive effort in comparison to Nemanja Matic and John Obi Mikel and stating that their relationship had taken "one step back".
Mourinho continued that stance in the aftermath a Premier League meeting with Aston Villa in October. Loftus-Cheek started that 2-0 victory at Stamford Bridge, but was substituted at half-time amid subsequent claims that he needed to "look to the intensity and the defensive tactical work that people like Ramires, [Cesc] Fabregas did and he didn't". The manager further stressed that he had to compare himself to others in order to see why he was not kept on for the full 90 minutes.
Despite those issues, however, Loftus-Cheek looks set to be afforded more playing time between now and the end of the season.
"In the upcoming match games there will be options as well," Hiddink was quoted as saying by the London Evening Standard when asked about the midfielder in his latest press conference. "I have him in mind to start of course.
"We have analysed him in training and the way he has to progress. He is working on that and it will pay off. He's a young guy. When I came here I thought he was 23-24, but he's 20. It indicates he has a future. We are working on a specific plan and what he can improve on. It will pay off in the upcoming games. I don't give any guarantees but he will have his minutes."

Cargo on some Mexican trucks headed to the U.S. may soon be inspected by American officials before trucks get to the border, allowing the trucks to skip long lines at ports of entry.
The Mexican Ambassador to the U.S., Arturo Sarukhan, told the NAFTA 20 conference in San Antonio last last week that the two countries are days away from unveiling the initiative, according to published reports.
The ambassador said there initially will be three inspection sites on the U.S.-Mexico border, and said U.S. Customs and Border Inspection officers will be in Mexican territory conducting the inspections, reports the Texas Tribune. However, he declined to pinpoint those locations. In addition, the start date for the program is uncertain.

For decades, Superman has captured our imagination with his powers, one of the best-known being flight. Yet not many toys have focused on this aspect of Superman to create something fun and exciting. Luckily, thanks to this summer's Man of Steel movie, The Toy Book received quite a few Superman items, some of which made good on the promise of taking playtime to new heights. I'm happy to share these flight-centric toys with you.
Superman Man of Steel Flight Speeders: Solar Force Launcher: "Faster than a speeding bullet" is often used to describe just how fast Superman is. Thanks to Mattel's Solar Force Launcher, he doesn't travel quite that fast, but he's fast enough, and can traverse a decent distance when he comes soaring out of this lightweight toy, which resembles an alien spaceship from Man of Steel. The cockpit on top swings open to allow any 3.75-inch Superman figure from Mattel to be placed inside. However, in the event that there's an emergency at the far end of the backyard, pressing the plunger shoots a Superman foam figure in trouble's direction.
Man of Steel Swingshot Superman Figure: In Man of Steel, Superman eventually gets that whole flying thing down. But he's far from graceful at first. That was especially true for landings. The Man of Steel Swingshot Superman Figure, also from Mattel, lets kids re-enact those awkward first flights. He's meant to be airborne, so after grabbing the plush doll by its long cape, kids can swing Superman around and around, before letting him go and, basking in the glory of Krypton's Last Son, watching him sail through the air. Luckily, not only can the doll's durable body survive all kinds of impact, but it's soft enough that every landing is a safe one.
Superman Flying Heroes Action Figure: A personal favorite of mine, send the world's greatest superheroes up, up, and away with The Bridge Direct's Flying Heroes line. Each comes with a hand-held launcher and a six-inch-tall action figure. Place the figure on the launcher, give the cord a good pull, and stand back as the likes of Superman, Batman, and Wolverine lift off helicopter-style. While The Bridge Direct recommends adult supervision for this particular toy, it's a lot of fun for users of all ages. It's also worth noting that the sculpting and attention to detail are impressive: in the case of Superman, the toy captures his iconic spit-curl and all the fine points of his classic costume.
And while Flying Heroes Superman appears to be holding wings when stationary, whenever he does go spinning through the air, his arms rise up to shoulder height, resulting in it looking as if his cape is whirling around him. It's a neat visual; not unlike that time in the comics when he had to become a human drill and dig his way to the Earth's core. Or when his costume got soaked and he had to dry it really quickly. (Okay, I may have made that last one up. But I'm sure he'd do it if he had to!)
The bottom line: There's something about hitting a plunger, flicking one's wrist, or pulling a cord and causing something to go sailing through the air that feels strangely liberating, and makes these toys as super as they are.

I should be, I really, really should be.
I even have a rare free evening tonight. No plans with friends or with The Beau. No working late. Most evenings, when I'm not busy, I work out, which for some reason takes far more time than it should. Get home, feed the cat, do a couple things around the house, then it's 7pm and I finally get on the treadmill. An hour there, then stretch, cool down, wind down, and it's already 9pm.
But no workout tonight, since I had a laser treatment today and am not supposed exercise afterward.
What to do, what to do…
I could blog!
Or, I could make Bacon Caramels!
Okay, Bacon Caramels are done, now I can blog.
Or, I could finish sewing an eyemask!
Okay, done with that, now I can blog.
Or, I could watch the Bacon Caramels set! (Hurry, set, hurry, so I can eat one.)
Oh, crap. It's after 10.
Maybe I'll blog tomorrow…

Chris Weitz Talks About 'Breaking Dawn'
Director Chris Weitz (The Twilight Saga: New Moon) was recently interviewed and discussion of Weitz directing 'Breaking Dawn' was brought up. Here is what he had to say about it:
"The fans have been enthusiastic about the footage and the trailer, and the studio responds to that by feeling good about me. We'll have to see how people feel about the entire movie, not only the studio but the fans, before the verdict is out whether I direct number four. David Slade is doing a great job on the third film, and by the time that comes out, he'll be the flavor of the moment."
Weitz also discussed the story of the second film, including that Edward Cullen was absent for a good part of 'New Moon', saying, "We didn't want to shoehorn him into the story, I did alter the visuals of the story in the sense that in the book, Kristen [Stewart]'s character has aural hallucinations — she hears his voice — and we've built in a very beautiful subtle effect so that we see him as well. But those are brief, if impactful, moments. A lot of the film is sustained by her loss and Taylor [Lautner]'s character bringing her back to life."
His current project 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon' opens in theaters November 20th.Recommend0 recommendationsPublished in Movie News, Movies

Pineapple Upside-Down Cake Sundaes
Who doesn't like a good pineapple upside-down cake? How about an ice cream sundae, or even better, a sundae with cake in it? A pineapple upside-down cake is a pound cake that has some of my favorite fruits on it, pineapples and cherries, mixed with butter and sugar on top of the cake. The fun thing about this cake is that when it is done baking, it is turned over and served upside-down. Add some ice cream with the cake and you have yourself one delicious dessert to enjoy. What's a better dessert to have than some ice cream with …

It doesn't get any better than that. It's s'mores you can eat with a spoon!
This recipe is not allergy-friendly and is definitely one I can't eat without substituting some ingredients, so I …
Red Velvet Whoopie Cakes
Whoopie pies/cakes are a dessert I have enjoyed since I was a child. A soft cake texture mixed with cream in the middle. It's similar to an Oreo, but the outside is made out of cake and is bigger than an Oreo. It's one of the best desserts out there for a cake lover. I remember enjoying them while getting cake stuck to my fingers and having to lick it off my hands, which was the best part. I always enjoyed how soft it was and how you got some filling in each bite.
The whoopie pie is a Pennsylvania …

Gluten-Free, Paleo, Vegan, Dairy-Free and Refined Sugar-Free No Bake Breakfast Brownies
Brownies for breakfast? Sounds good to me! How could you pass down a sweet for breakfast? What better way to start off the morning than a no bake, gluten-free, Paleo, vegan, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free breakfast brownie. That's right! This brownie is allergy-friendly and perfect for anyone who is on a diet. They are healthy brownies and you don't need an oven to make them. You do, however, have to refrigerate them for about 30 minutes, so they are not a brownie you can eat right away.
These brownies are soft, chewy and rich in flavor. They are perfect for chocolate …

Healthy Alternative: Applesauce
Have you ever tried using applesauce instead of butter or oil while baking? I have and the foods taste just as good for less the calories. Ever since I started baking, I have used applesauce in pretty much everything I've made. The cool thing about it is that no one has noticed the difference. The only difference I have noticed is that it tastes healthier, but still taste just as delicious.
Applesauce is a good source of fiber and contains small amounts of beneficial vitamins and minerals. A one cup serving of unsweetened applesauce provides 11 percent of the daily value …

Good Afternoon Delta Gammas,
I am so honored to be joining the DG Technology Team in its first blogging effort! This is my second Convention; I attended Palm Desert in 2008 as a volunteer and swore I would never miss one again if I could help it. I really HOPE we will be able to give you a glimpse into what an amazing experience Convention is! So enjoy the blog this year and start a piggy bank now to join us in two years!
This year I have the special privilege of helping out in certain areas with Council, Panhellenic, and Convention Staff. This all came about because I am in the Graduate Program for Higher Education Administration seeking a focused degree in Student Affairs at the University of North Texas. I currently work in the Office of Greek Life at UNT, and when telling this to Fraternity President, Beth Searcy, we began discussing options of an intership to see Greek Life on a national level! I'll be working with NPC delegate Barb Probst on the Panhellenic Luncheon, with Stacie Hauserman and EO staff assisting with errands and conference needs, and the rest of the time helping Beth where I can!
My HOPE is to be able to share my experience with you as I serve in this capacity! It ought to be quite a whirlwind!
Megan Petter

Denver is my 2nd Convention!!!

Robert Rodriguez has no problem blending sex with violence. He replaced one of Rose McGowan's legs with a gun in Planet Terror, and now he's strapped a pair of firearms to the breasts of Sofia Vergara in Machete Kills. The flick is the second in a planned trilogy (the third film supposedly takes place in space), and centers on Machete's (Danny Trejo) quest to stop an eccentric billionaire arms dealer who has plans to spread war and anarchy across the planet. Hopefully, Rodriguez won't make the mistake of the first film by relegating Machete into a supporting role in his own movie, but judging by the number of stars, it looks like that's exactly what will happen.
Hit the jump to check out the titillating poster, and click here for what Vergara recently had to say about her role. The film also stars Michelle Rodriguez, Amber Heard, Charlie Sheen, Lady Gaga, Antonio Banderas, Jessica Alba, Demian Bichir, Alex Vega, Vanessa Hudgens, Cuba Gooding Jr., William Sadler, Marko Zaror, and Mel Gibson. Machete Kills opens September 13th.

The hump, long ears and bushy tail distinguish the Indian cow. Cows are EVERYWHERE! Because the cow is respected as a sacred animal to the Hindus, it's allowed to roam unharmed. They act as litter vacuums and they are pretty used to the traffic and the rhythm of the city. Instead of being viewed as walking hamburgers, in India, the cow is believed to be a symbol of the earth (it gives so much yet asks nothing in return). Cows form the core of religious sacrifices, for without clarified liquid butter, which is produced from cow's milk, no sacrifice can be performed. The cow acts as a surrogate mother by nourishing people with milk even though she hasn't given birth to us. So the cow is truly the mother of the world. From the ancient age in India, people have been drinking cow's milk, rather than the milk of other animals and it just so happens to be the healthiest. Fittingly, selling beef is banned in many Indian cities.
I will now take a moment to talk about poop. The respect and regard paid to cows in India is well known, but the importance to rural Indians of the dung and urine of this sacred animal is often overlooked. Cow dung is used as a cooking fuel, sanitizing cleanser, construction material, insulation, waterproofing for walls and floors in rural houses, a cultural symbol in religious worship, fertilizer, and an electricity generator. I often saw people preparing cow chips (hundreds upon hundreds) to be sold and/or put to good use. The urine of cows is considered an elixir of life and is used as a natural remedy for liver and heart conditions as well as for enhancing mental and physical strength and increasing longevity. The urine of a cow is said to balance bile, mucous, and airs, which cause disease when they aren't in balance. Even the ash formed from the burning of dung as a fuel can be used as a cleaning agent for household utensils or used as a fertilizer. Like the Native Americans used every part of the buffalo, Indians have made sure cow waste is not, well, wasted.

Hi friends,
It has been a hectic summer, but regrettably not on the road.. :-(
When I turn the key, nothing happens except that the tank, oil and pressure needles jump.
The problem started last season and gradually got worse. In the beginning it happened from time to time, but it was just to try again and it would always start. This spring it took maybe five attempts before it would crank, then 10, then 20 and now it is completely dead.
Today we loosened the switch to take a look at the back. It´s dirty and should be cleaned. The red/white wire was loose, so we connected it again, but nothing changed. I should have studied the wiring diagram and done more research, but starting to get desperate. I´m more or less retarded when it comes to electricity, so please go easy on me.
Any input to narrow down the problem would be greatly appreciated. Is it the switch or could the problem be somewhere else??
Thanks, Radmund

You simply can not make this up.
It almost reminds one of this blast from the past.
A website of news, commentary, culture, & jackassery in the Jackson, Mississippi area.
You simply can not make this up.
Reminds me of The City of Madison Politics...
I miss Walter Cronkite.
Funny stuff!
Reminds me of a couple of weeks ago when the forecast included wind speeds as high as 27 MPH and the Kroger in Madison was full of sheep getting "prepared." Probably some of the same sheep that were heading to their favorite football campus the Saturday after Katrina in 2005 when gas stations everywhere were running out of fuel.
As for Fake News, it's always been fake. The Clarion Liar was lying 30 years ago just like it does today. But, the internet and sites like these have made it probable that we will catch them and given us the ability to call them out.
Journalism 101…you don't report the news, you "make it!"
How so, 11:11?
Or how about this bit of drama from NBC?
More flooding in New Jersey
Very funny. It's sad how tv media likes to think people buy into all their hype. I guess gullible people are everywhere. It's also a shame you can't find real news on the TV. Trump is 100% right on target about fake news. I call TV news (local & national) the nursing home news. If you want real news you have to search it out online by using your brain. You can find it on social media if you put your mind to it and THINK.
Jim Cantore would never do that. //roll eyes//
Here is a slightly longer version.
Old news. The weather channel would piss on a tree and call it acid rain if it brought in more ratings. They were bought out.
Get Wunderground
You realize that wunderground was bought out by The Weather Channel right?
They do this with all news. It's in their DNA to lie. Wake up sheeple!
News is sold as a commodity. That means it's part of the "free enterprise system" and it's life therefore is dictated by the marketplace. They must give people what they want. Not necessarily the truth. Nothing more disgusting than a dyed in the wool capitalist complaining about "fake news".
the medias favorite thing to report on is themselves
Hurricanes support an industry, including weather reporting, clean-up contractors, FEMA, etc. It's big business.
MSM media is systemically rotten to the core. The Internet exposed it all for everyone to see. Now they want to censor and control the information available on the Internet.
I miss Walter Cronkite.
So you miss the days of America having only three TV network gatekeepers?
8:18 is truly a socialist. What makes you think all Capitalists want to watch fake news? Some of us don't invest in media, unlike you if you have a 401k that does. This is just the beginning of what communism is about. Feed the people all the fake news. Tell them everything is a myth and shove the major networks down our throat with their version of what they think is right for you. HRC would love to tell everyone that she is not a liar and you all would believe it.
I wish Walter Cronkite was still able to report. They don't make them like that anymore. Our generation screwed the media up very bad just for money and ratings. Reporters should tell the truth even if it hurts. If they are good at it then they will succeed and climb the ladder. If they are bad then they won't. Simple. Maybe I see it wrong but I don't think I do.
Local news is poorly disguised advertising. National news is 5 minutes of content wrapped around 20 minutes of pharmaceutical sales.
Go back to bed, 4:00 a.m. Football games in Mississippi were cancelled when Katrina hit. Although many of us did sit in gas station lines for over an hour.
Walter Cronkite had us all fooled. He was the original liar but we never knew it. He was totally complicit with the fake news from the administration via Westmoreland. Every night we listened to Cronkite lying about Nam numbers.
Is that Brick from the movie Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy? @8:18 I have no problem with them producing a product for sale. The problem is that product is presented as truth, and their fake outrage if they are called on it. The main sources of "news" has been propaganda for over 100 years. Yes @11:21, even Walter Cronkite. It is usually the gullible, the young, naive, or the supposed progressives that take this propaganda at face value. The progressives claiming to be open minded. My experiences with these progressives, it appears they are so open minded their brains have fallen out.
Think about all the corruption reported on here at JJ that none of the other media in the metro+state doesn't cover and hasn't EVER covered.
OK - 3:47. I thought about it. What next?
OK - 3:47. I thought about it. What next?
Hit the tip jar. You're probably too cheap.
What is the best source of online news? (excepting KF, of course)
10:59 AM, I suppose I was dreaming on that Saturday after Katrina on September 3, 2005 during the fuel shortage while seeing SUVs full of sheep heading to Starkville?
But then why do we get this via Wikipedia?
September 3 (2005) MSU beat Murray State (Jr. College?) 38-6 in Davis Wade Stadium, Starkville, MS with 41,143 in attendance. "Allegedly" the game started at 6:00 PM.
Looks like somebody is guilty of more FAKE NEWS.
Cronkite was a Martha's Vineyard east coast elite liberal, but he kept his left leanings to himself on the air.
I don't recall him censoring the battlefield news from Vietnam, but I do remember the graphic battlefield videos on the evening news which fueled the violent protests and terrorist acts back home.
Let me say first, that I in no way supported the Vietnam police action. This comment concerns propaganda passed off as news. Cronkite is the one which really began to present something other than facts, and events. It was damaging enough, the previous 50 years or so, with the news media, mostly print versions, later radio, of course television, selectively reporting and slanting the facts and events. Cronkite opened the doorway to where we are now. I remember as I watched Cronkite say, not in so many words, that we, the U.S., was not capable of winning this engagement. History has shown this to not be true. This man had not the knowledge, or expertise to make this judgement. Yet, he took his prominent position, used the trust of the American people to sway the decisions of the leaders of that time. It was a troublesome time. Evening, after evening giving death tolls for the day. Showing the body bags of our fine young men being brought home, with the right vocal tone inflection giving the viewer a feeling of discouragement, and defeat. The unrest in the streets, and college campuses. Yes, I remember, but I digress. The propaganda machine has been a well oiled mechanism. It had been being built for several decades, Mr. Cronkite, bless his anti American heart, put it in operation.
10:22 You do not have to be a socialist to understand that the marketplace, i.e. supply and demand dictate production, be it cars, corn, soft drinks or news. The truth is one thing (go to church and pray for it) the news is another. If you want the news to be nothing but the truth you will have to establish a non-profit organization probably state controlled (impossible?) which most people will probably find boring anyway. And it will obviously be considered socialist. The news business has never, never, presented the real truth. People would not buy it.
The social media comic parodys are best..about 7 out there..the one made by the firemen...using a hose, leaf blower, chairs and bicycle pulled across by rope, debris thrown at the reporter is best...its on Kelly Lacour ladt tweet about fake hurricane coverage...Wolf Blitzer also got caught with a fake wind gate coverage on Florence
Friend in Charleston said that a couple of the news crews brought big fans with them.
Choco rations are up 26 percent.
