Liverpool defender Martin Kelly admits he has had to be patient after recovering from a cruciate knee injury that kept him out of action for more than a year but he is now desperate to get an opportunity to impress.
The 23 year old was pushing Glen Johnson for a regular starting berth at right back and was a member of the England squad that travelled to Poland and Ukraine for the European Championships in the summer of 2012.
He started last season in impression fashion but would suffer an ACL rupture of his right knee against Manchester United in September 2012 that would keep him on the sidelines for some 12 months.
Kelly would return to first team action against United a year and two days after suffering the injury but a minor knock in the 1-0 defeat would again force him out of contention.
Having now returned to full fitness Kelly is eager to impress manager Brendan Rodgers who has been forced to experiment with his defence because of an injury to first choice right-back Glen Johnson.
"I feel good and I'm back to full fitness," Kelly told the official Liverpool website. "I came on against Manchester United and took a little knock there.
"That's why I haven't been involved in the last couple of games, but I'm back in training now, so I'm happy.
"The last 12 months has taught me to look after myself. My body needs to be able to cope with the demands of the Premier League and over the past 12 months I've been getting to a condition that will cater for that.
"You've got to have patience in football as well as knowing that when you're given your chance, you've got to take it. Football is that sort of industry and all footballers know that.
"It's taken a long time getting back to full fitness. I feel really strong physically now and I'm just biding my time waiting for my chance. I'll grab it with both hands."
With Johnson still injured and yet to return to full training, and with Jordan Henderson and Raheem Sterling being asked to play out of position as wing-backs in recent weeks, Kelly may well have an opportunity once Liverpool return to action against Newcastle on 19 October.

Long story short, I'm completing a branding task for a (hypothetical to be clear) fashion brand. Taking most of my inspiration from Scottish themes and hoping to use a Gaelic (or Scots) word as the brand name.
Anything evoking nature, "the great outdoors", wildlife or the general feel/features of highland/rural Scotland would be appreciated. Preferably short (3-5 letters) and pronounceable/memorable to an English speaker. Not exactly a proficient Gaelic speaker myself so don't discount anything for being too obvious!
I know its a long shot, and probably a little out of the ordinary, but any help would be much appreciated!

As we head into 2014, big changes are gearing up for the New Year. The markets are climbing in the right direction. There is an uptick in local employment around Mid-Northern Michigan, and the price of gas, although up and down, is not anywhere near four dollars a gallon as it can be at times. It is the time for optimism. And it is a good time in this economy for salespeople.
In a positive environment sales people can create their own success. It has been often said that sales is an easy profession. But it is challenging because it involves self-motivation and direction.
Three areas of professional sales success involve very simple variables:
- Sales growth: Selling is a relationship business that involves cooperation. The stronger the relationships, the stronger the salesperson. By paying attention to every customer and getting referrals, growth is almost a certainty.
- 24 Hours: On any given day, every day, it is critical to stay focused on productivity. Spending effort with little or no results will often challenge the most dedicated professional. If cold calling is not working, we can offer the correct Dale Carnegie Training that supports success.
- Income: Money makes living possible. To paraphrase Mr. Carnegie, winning sales and influencing success comes from making an income. If we are working a lot of hours and we are making very little in return, the sales career will end before it ever can grow.
Sale growth, time and income determine success and opportunity. Selling moves the Mid-Northern Michigan economy in the right direction. Without salespeople, the economy here and across the country would be worse. As Dale Carnegie once said with much forethought: "Letting people talk, allows you to listen."
If we focus on getting better and keep doing what we do best; everyone benefits.
This post is brought to you by the good folks at Dale Carnegie Training of Mid-Northern Michigan, providers of professional development and management development courses and information in Mid-Northern Michigan. We'd love to connect with you on Facebook and LinkedIn.

The garden hose wreath has been making the rounds on Pinterest this season and I just couldn't ignore it! After a long winter I was actually looking forward to adding a cheerful splash of color to my front door and a decorative wreath sounded like the perfect solution.
I grabbed a 15-foot garden hose, a handful of flowers, a pair of gardening gloves, and some burlap ribbon, and I got to work!
Could putting the garden hose wreath together really be that easy? More importantly, would the hose actually hang well on my door? I had to find out!
Take a look below as I determine whether the garden hose wreath is a Pinterest win or a Pinterest fail!:

Part of the Extreme Mammals exhibition.
"Check out the ossicones on that giraffe." OK, that may sound a little weird, but it's better than "Look at the tooth on that narwhal."
Either way, we're talking about headgear here--from the relatively small ossicones on the head of a giraffe to the large left incisor that projects from the narwhal whale's upper jaw as a tusk. Strangely enough, as many mammals that developed horns, antlers, tusks or ossicones--from deer and sheep to cattle and goats--no early mammals had horns on their heads.
Despite that original lack of headgear, some mammals, like the male moose, evolved antlers as wide as a car over millions of years. Others, like Embolotherium andrewsi, developed horns as support systems for their giant noses (and to head-butt rivals).
But why? Why do we now see these extreme examples of headgear when mammals once roamed the earth with plain-old heads, bones and teeth?
Defense, recognition and mating--three common reasons threaded throughout evolution. Nearly all mammals with headgear are prey animals and sometimes use their headgear as defense against would-be attackers.
Most mammals with headgear live in social groups rather than alone--using headgear as a quick way to recognize kin. For male mammals, head "decor" can be an eye-catching way to advertise vigor and desirability to females and strength and dominance to males.
Fun Facts
- The ossicones on a giraffe are made up of bony cores that develop first within the skin as a knob of cartilage. Ossicones later "ossify," becoming bone. A baby giraffe's ossicones lie flat against the head at birth, popping upright about a week later.
- Made up of branched bones shed annually, antlers regrow each year from a permanent bony base. At first, antlers have thin, hair-covered skin called "velvet" that eventually falls off, leaving antlers sharp and shiny. Antler bones grow incredibly fast--up to an inch a day.
- The Marco Polo sheep is the world's largest sheep (three to four feet or 1-1.3 meters tall at its shoulder). At home on the steep hillsides and mountains of Central Asia, a male will fight for females by rearing up from a distance and then racing toward its rival, crashing into him horns-first.

For experienced, fit walkers who do not mind easy scrambling but are not climbers, this is the finest way to climb Ben Nevis. This is a truly spectacular route incorporating two Munros. It will live long in the memory and does true justice to the mountain.
Ben Nevis is the highest mountain in Britain. This route is the standard, so-called Tourist Route up the mountain. It is straightforward, if strenuous, by hillwalking standards, but the less experienced should read all the precautions.
This straightforward Corbett makes a good short day out. The ascent is not too steep and rewarded by a plateau traverse on springy turf to the summit trig point with excellent views to Ben Nevis, Loch Arkaig, Loch Lochy and all the surrounding mountains.

text: Duterte had announced the 'separation' from the US after meeting his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping [EPA] President Rodrigo Duterte has backtracked on his comments about the Philippines' "separation" from the United States, saying severing of ties was not in the best interest of his country. Following a meeting between Duterte and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on Thursday, the tough-talking president announced "separation from the United States, both in military but economics also". "America has lost it," Duterte was quoted as saying in a transcript of his speech released by the Philippine Presidential Communications Office on Friday. The Philippines' Duterte inches away from US and closer to China "I mean, I realigned myself in your ideological flow and maybe I will also go to Russia to talk to [President Vladimir] Putin and tell him that there are three of us against the world: China, Philippines and Russia." However, following his return from China on Friday, he announced that the statement meant Philippines' foreign policy "need not dovetail" with that of the US. "It's not severance of ties. Severance is to cut diplomatic relations. I cannot do that. Why? It's in the best interests of my country that I don't do that," Duterte said in his hometown of Davao. Duterte's visit to Beijing capped a series of recent declarations blasting the United States and President Barack Obama. Duterte was quoted by the Manila-based website Rappler calling Americans "loud, sometimes rowdy. Their larynx is not adjusted to civility". In response, the White House said Duterte has made too many troubling statements recently that lend uncertainty over its ties with the US and are at odds with their alliance. "We've seen too many troubling public statements from President Duterte over the last several months," White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters. "And the frequency of that rhetoric has added an element of unnecessary uncertainty into our relationship that doesn't advance the interests of either country." Duterte has also repeated his denunciation of Obama on Thursday as a "son of a whore".

As I grew, the passionate way my family communicated (translation: yelling) proved to be too much for me. I was deemed "sensitive" or "delicate" because the noise of their boisterous conversations and debates would leave me jittery and nervous. I noticed, though, that none of that drama crossed the threshold to the kitchen. In that fragrant room, people cooked and worked in perfect harmony, telling stories, sipping wine, laughing, smiling, sharing tips and ideas. No one was allowed to argue, cry or create havoc in the kitchen. "Take it outside" was the refrain should any "senza senso" (nonsense) find its way into the room.
I asked my father to build me a step stool so I could reach the counter to learn more by watching and helping my mother, and I have never looked back from the stove. To this day, the kitchen is precious; cooking is my job, but I love every second of my time in this room. Here are some pairings I love with recipes from my new book, Back to the Cutting Board.
Candied Parsnip and Carrot Tatin
Pairs With: Nero D'Avola from Sicily
This pretty cake is a splendid sweet and savory side dish. Smothered in caramelized, sweet root vegetables, and topped with an orange-scented glaze.
Makes 6-8 servings
Savory Cake:
2 ½ cups whole wheat pastry or sprouted whole wheat flour
generous pinch sea salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
Generous pinch sea salt
1/4 cup avocado or extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 – 1 cup unsweetened almond, oat, or soy milk
2 teaspoons avocado or extra-virgin olive oil
4 small carrots, halved lengthwise
4 small parsnips, halved lengthwise
Organic soy sauce, to taste
4 tablespoons brown rice syrup
Grated zest of 1 orange
Juice of 1 orange
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, combine the dry flour, baking powder, sesame seeds, baking soda, basil, rosemary, and sea salt and mix well. Set aside.
Begin the topping: Heat the oil in a 10-inch ovenproof skillet (I like cast iron for this recipe) over medium-high heat. Stir in the carrot and parsnip halves, season lightly with the soy sauce, and stir until shiny with oil. Arrange the vegetables in a decorative pattern, covering the bottom of the pan. Add the brown rice syrup, and orange zest and reduce the heat to medium. Cook until the glaze reduces is thick and syrupy and the veggies are golden brown, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally so you can feel the glaze thicken. Remove from the heat and add stir in the orange juice.
Mix the oil into the dry cake ingredients, and then slowly add stir in the 'milk' until a smooth, spoonable batter forms. Spoon the batter evenly over the cooked vegetables, taking care not to disturb your pattern. Bake for about 35-40 minutes, until the center of the cake springs back to the touch. Cool the cake for about 10 minutes. Run a sharp knife around the rim of the skillet to loosen the cake. Place your serving platter over the skillet and carefully invert the cake. If any of the vegetables stick to the pan, simply remove them and replace them on the cake top. Serve warm or hot.
Fried Tofu with Black Bean Sauce on Scallion Pancakes
Pairs with: Vernaccia from San Gimignano
Calm, cool tofu comes together with dramatic, spicy beans to create a centered focus, with vitality to burn. Dishes like this make you "simmer,", so your energy doesn't fail you. Served over a simple scallion pancake, this dish is a meal on its own.
Makes 4-5 servings
Scallion Pancakes:
1 cup whole wheat pastry or sprouted whole wheat flour
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons avocado oil, divided
½-2/3 cup spring or filtered water
3-4 scallions, finely minced
Fried Tofu:
1 pound extra firm tofu, 1-inch cubes
Avocado or sunflower oil, for frying
Black Bean Sauce:
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil or avocado oil
1 jalapeno pepper, diced; do not seed
1 red onion, diced
organic soy sauce
1 cup winter squash, finely diced
1 cup fresh/frozen organic corn kernels, fresh or frozen
Dash organic soy sauce
2 cups cooked black turtle beans
spring or filtered water
2-3 fresh scallions, thinly sliced, for serving
Prepare the pancake batter by combining the flour, salt and baking powder, and salt. Use a pastry blender or two knifes to cut in the oil until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Slowly mix in the water to create a thin (but not runny) pancake batter. Fold in the scallions. Cover and let the batter rest for 15 minutes before proceeding.
Meanwhile, cube tofu and pat the tofu cubes dry. Heat about 1/4-inch oil in a deep skillet and shallow fry the tofu until golden brown on all sides. Drain on paper and set aside.
Prepare the black bean sauce by heating the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the jalapeno and onion with a pinch of salt for 1 minute. Add the winter squash and corn, with a splash of soy sauce and sauté' 1-2 minutes more. Mash half the beans with a fork or potato masher and mix in with balance of cooked beans. Stir beans into the skillet with the remaining beans. Season lightly with soy sauce and add a small amount of spring or filtered water. Stir in the fried tofu cubes. Cover and simmer over very low heat for 5-7 minutes while you make the scallion pancakes.
Make the pancakes: Pre-heat oven to 200°F. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil. Drop tablespoons of batter in the hot oil to make 3-inch pancakes. Cook until golden brown, turning once to brown both sides. Transfer the pancakes to a baking sheet and then to a warm oven while making the balance of pancakes. You should be able to make 8-10 pancakes.
To serve, place 2 pancakes each on 4-5 individual plates. Top generously with tofu and black beans. Sprinkle with scallion slices and serve hot.
Cook's Tip: Use seasonal vegetables, so I to vary this dish. In summer, swap out the winter squash for zucchini or yellow squash.
Apple-Cranberry Crisp
Pair with: Prosecco
Sweet and tart fruit covered by a tender, cakelike topping is one of the most wonderful, homey desserts. Easy to make, delicious, and beautiful, you get it all with this one. Baking the fruit gentles its simple sugars, and the topping gives you the satisfaction of flour without eating too much of it. The tart flavor of the cranberries balances the sweet apples perfectly. I love to serve this with a cold glass of sparkling prosecco to make any evening a bit more festive.
Makes about 8 servings
Fruit filling
3 to 4 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
¾ cup unsweetened dried cranberries
1 tablespoon avocado or extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the baking pan
2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
2 tablespoons Suzanne's Specialties brown rice syrup
½ cup rolled oats
1 cup whole wheat pastry or sprouted whole wheat flour
½ cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground allspice
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground allspice
¼ cup avocado or extra virgin olive oil
½ cup Suzanne's Specialties brown rice syrup
¼ cup avocado or extra-virgin olive oil
About ½ cup unsweetened almond, soy or other non-dairy milk
½ cup coarsely minced pecans
Preheat oven to 350°F (175C). Lightly oil a 9-inch –square baking dish.
Make the filling: Mix the apples and cranberries with the oil until coated. Stir in the arrowroot and brown rice syrup and spread evenly in the prepared pan.
Make the topping: Combine oats, flour, salt, baking powder, spices, and sea salt in a medium bowl. Mix in the brown rice syrup and oil to make a soft dough. Slowly mix in in the "milk" to make a thick, spoonable batter. Fold in the pecans.
Spoon the topping, by dollops, over the surface of the fruit, covering it almost completely, but allowing some fruit to peek through.

Africa in 140 characters3
Africans are talking! Yes in 140 characters. Many have noticed the rise of Africans bloggers and interesting tweets about Africa recently. I love it! Why this is happening, asked the top Bloggers from the Twitter community… Well African has stories to tell I replied. For decades the Africa story has interested millions of individuals. The real stories have not been told or most them were reported inaccurately. For the African people, the oral tradition they are used to is linked to their way of life. Most African societies place great worth in oral tradition because it is a primary means of conveying culture. It is also a mode of transmitting feelings, and attitudes. For centuries, African people depended upon oral tradition to teach the listener's important traditional values and morals pertaining to how to live. Oral tradition delivers explanations to the mysteries of the universe and the meaning of life on earth. In African religion, it is the guiding principle in which to make sense of the world. Oral tradition is non-written history, its spoken word only. Historically, most African societies did not have an invented alphabet. Before the invention of written language, and before the advent of widespread literacy, oral tradition was much more of a daily presence in people's lives than it is in our world today. Nowadays, popular forms of storytelling in Western culture include movies, television and Social Media (Twitter, Facebook etc…).
West African storytelling, the Griots are the keepers of the culture, as their amazing memories and storytelling abilities allow them to keep alive the culture, history, and genealogies of their people.
We know that in Africa a voice was the vehicle in which knowledge was passed on from one generation to another. A single Voice unified a family, clan, or community. Enforcement of customs depended on voice. When a person died…his or her voice was no longer to be heard, it was as if a whole library had been destroyed. Voice is important in Africa. …Most African people did not invent an alphabet for the art of reading and writing. Therefore they could not keep written records of their history. Instead they passed on information form one generation to another, by word of mouth.
Not only Social media is encouraging African people to write, tell and share more stories that can be archived for the next generation it is also one of the vehicles of the Rebranding of Africa™. style-name:"Table Normal";
I have seen the rise of excellent news site like allafrica.com and Africa ITnews

Affectionately known as "Father Charlie", Reverend J. Charles Cheverie was born in Charlottetown in 1932. He earned a BA from St. Dunstan's University, one of UPEI's predecessor institutions, and an L.Th. from Holy Heart Seminary. He also attended the Catholic University of America where he received a M.Sc. and a Ph.D. Father Charlie was ordained in 1957 for the Diocese of Charlottetown. Father Charlie was Professor of Biology at St. Dunstan's, and then UPEI, for thirty-eight years, until his retirement in 1997. Since retirement he has served as Chaplain at UPEI. Through much of his teaching career, he was the parish priest in Covehead, PEI. He feels that the Lord has greatly blessed him in the enjoyment and fulfillment he has had through communication with youth in university life. He has received several teaching awards, the Rotary Mentor Award, as well as the Order of PEI. And, he is also a Paul Harris Fellow, was conferred as Professor Emeritus with UPEI and was named a UPEI Founder in 2009. Fiddling has always been an important part of Father Charlie's life. He became involved in the revival of traditional fiddling in PEI around 1976, and in 1982 focused on the Queen's County Chapter of PEI Fiddlers during a time of low interest. Today he is very pleased with the number of young people who are playing the fiddle, some of whom have gained national and international recognition. Sports and athletics played an important role in his life at SDU. Hockey, and especially football (rugby) provided an excellent opportunity to build friendships with team members and fond memories from trips to other universities. Among his many contributions to student life at UPEI, Father Charlie has been a tremendous support to students who have pursued a. B.Sc., with the goal of entering the field of medicine. He has served as a medical school reference for many worthy students. The Father Charlie Cheverie Award was created in his honour.

Author: Brandon Sanderson
Genre: YA
Summary: More than anything, Joel wants to be a Rithmatist. Chosen by the Master in a mysterious inception ceremony, Rithmatists have the power to infuse life into two-dimensional figures known as Chalklings. Rithmatists are humanity's only defense against the Wild Chalklings — merciless creatures that leave mangled corpses in their wake. Having nearly overrun the territory of Nebrask, the Wild Chalklings now threaten all of the American Isles.
As the son of a lowly chalkmaker at Armedius Academy, Joel can only watch as Rithmatist students study the magical art that he would do anything to practice. Then students start disappearing — kidnapped from their rooms at night, leaving trails of blood. Assigned to help the professor who is investigating the crimes, Joel and his friend Melody find themselves on the trail of an unexpected discovery — one that will change Rithmatics — and their world — forever.
Review: Brandon Sanderson is known for his world building, and he does not disappoint in his first YA novel! Sanderson is a master of pacing, so don't be worried about getting overwhelmed in this world he has created. Sanderson slowly introduces readers to the world of Rithmatists, Rithamtics, and Chalklings. It's a fun ride, with a murder-mystery intertwined as well!
Sanderson has added steampunk elements to the twenty-first century, along with a sort of magic. Rithmatists are able to draw–with chalk–cirlces, lines, and pictures that come to life. Wild chalkings are those chalk creatures that are untamed and are wreaking havoc on the United Isles. Oh yeah, Sanderson splits the States into Isles!
Joel, a non-Rithmatist, is obsessed with Rithmatics and finds himself in the center of a murder-mystery invovling Rithmatist students from his school. Melody, a Rithmatist who'd rather being drawing unicorns, also finds herself in the center of things, alongside Joel.
This is the first novel in a new series, so the pacing is nice and slow. However, the tension is kept high with the disappearance of students and new teacher who stirs the campus into a frenzy.
Recommendation: Read!

Bryan, OH - May 2007: Spangler Candy Company announced today that it will conclude the wholesale candy and tobacco operations of its subsidiary, Spangler Wholesale, on Friday, June 8, 2007.
The wholesale operations will be assumed by Superior Wholesale Distributors of Lima, Ohio, who will begin servicing Spangler Wholesale customers on Monday, June 11. Superior will continue to offer Spangler Wholesale customers a full range of candy, tobacco and food products.
Spangler will convert the former Spangler Wholesale location at 119 South Beech Street, Bryan, into a fulfillment center serving Spangler's growing internet business.
The fulfillment center also will manage orders for the company's "Save Wraps for Stuff" program, through which consumers can use Dum Dum Pops wrappers and cash to purchase premium items. Richard Trubey, Spangler Wholesale's General Manager, will manage the fulfillment operations.
Stan Stahl, sales representative for Spangler Wholesale, will join Superior Wholesale as a territory manager. Four of Spangler Wholesale's employees will be retained in the fulfillment center. Remaining bargaining unit employees will be eligible for positions at Spangler Candy Company's manufacturing facility in Bryan. Three full-time positions and one part-time position will be eliminated as a result of the sale.
Bruce D. Spangler, president of Spangler Wholesale, will become a part-time consultant to the parent company.
"The elimination of the wholesale business is consistent with Spangler Candy Company's focus on manufacturing confectionery products," said Dean L. Spangler, President and CEO of Spangler Candy Company. "For some time we have been concerned about the conflict of manufacturing and marketing children's candy products while also being involved in the sale and distribution of tobacco products."
"We manufacture 8 million Dum Dum Pops every day, and we are the largest candy cane manufacturer in the world," Mr. Spangler continued. "We are continuing to grow as a sugar candy manufacturer of global significance. This transaction allows us to focus our efforts on growing our core brands."
About Spangler Candy Company
In business since 1906, Spangler Candy produces a large line of quality confections including Dum Dum Pops, Saf-T-Pops, Dum Dum Gum Pops, Dum Dum Candy Canes, Circus Peanuts, Valentine, Easter, Halloween & Christmas Candies, Traditional Candy Canes & Cane Classics, and lollipops, marshmallow treats, and candy canes carrying Disney licensed brands.

Allyson is an adorable 5 year old girl who has been seen for speech and language therapy over the past year at the San Jose Scottish Rite Speech & Language Clinic. Her mother heard about our clinic from a friend of their family. Her mother and aunt originally brought her to the clinic because of a lack of language development, an increased use of "jargon" and because she was very difficult to understand. At this point Allyson was not using her language in a functional way and often repeated lines from movies and television programs.
At home Allyson's family speaks primarily in Indonesian. She is exposed to English at school and also uses some English at home as well. Her mother initially reported that Allyson's delays were noticed when she was speaking in both English and Indonesian.
Allyson has made great gains during her treatment over the course of the last year. Initially, she was a very shy, quiet little girl. Simple questions such as "how are you?" were confusing…..Allyson would respond by saying her name. She was unsure of her age and unable to shake her head to indicate yes or no. Most of her language was very difficult to understand. Allyson relied heavily on gestures to indicate her wants and needs. She used mainly 1 and 2 word utterances. At four years of age, she was judged to have a moderate to severe language disorder.
As Allyson became more familiar with her therapist and the expectations of her therapy sessions, she began to progress. She is now a very engaging and funny little girl who can make her wants and needs known. Many of her goals have been met and new ones have been created over the past year. Currently, therapy goals include age appropriate vocabulary and basic concepts, following 2 step directions and answering "when" and "where" questions. Many speech sounds are also being targeted, such as /sh/ and final consonants in 2 and 3 syllable words.
Allyson's mother stated that prior to services at the clinic, "My child was very quiet and seldom spoke. She mostly used body language to express her needs. Now she talks so much more and knows a lot more vocabulary." She feels that Allyson is now more confident to make conversation with people. She stated, "My experience at the clinic has been very pleasant and has helped our family very much."

This weekend I watched two very different season finales, on two very different British imports: "Downton Abbey" and "Doc Martin". My British readers have already long-since seen both; for my American readers who may not have caught them yet, I promise no serious spoilers. However, you may still want to bookmark and return to this piece after you have seen these episodes, if indeed you plan to do so.
Now I know, I know, after the scathing piece I wrote regarding happened to Anna early on in this season of "Downton Abbey", I am clearly a hypocrite for getting drawn back into it again. Unfortunately "Downton" at times is rather like a bag of Fritos. It can be addictive, salty, and pleasurable, but it has little nutritional value. Plus, you really aren't supposed to eat it all in one sitting, unless you have a morbid desire to experience heartburn and indigestion.
In the end it turned out that the "Downton Abbey" finale was just as bad as inhaling an entire bag of corn chips. Remember at the end of Season 2, when Matthew finally proposed? Or at the end of Season 3, when he bit the big one? The highlight of the Season 4 finale was two characters wading in the sea at Brighton, hand in hand. In fact, that pairing was trending last night on Twitter across the U.S., probably because it was the only item of note in an otherwise dull finale.
We all know that "Downton Abbey" is little more than a soap opera masquerading as a costume drama, given its ridiculous plot devices and wincingly bad historical anachronisms. However I did come back to it even after what I had written previously, for the simple reason that there is so little of any merit on television. Should I watch a 256th version of a show about cops tracking serial killers who employ particularly gruesome methods of torture? Or should watch a supposedly funny show about a group of confused people having no moral center beyond the old, "if it feels right to you then it must be right"? There are many things wrong with "Downton", but there are moments when one is reminded that there is in fact a moral center to the universe, even if popular culture elsewhere would have you believe that the only true Polaris to human existence is self-worship.
Moreover, one keeps coming back to "Downton Abbey" because, let's face it: it looks great. The cars, the homes, the clothes, everything is just wonderful eye candy if you appreciate beautiful things. Try flipping through the channels some evening, and pause to consider, visually, what you are looking at, and ask yourself how aesthetically pleasing it truly is. How much ugliness can we look at, night after night, in our entertainments and not have it affect us in some way? That is not necessarily a reason for "Downton" to survive as a series, of course, but when considering the viewing alternatives, it was overall a far better choice to make.
I also caught the finale of Season 6 of "Doc Martin", which although well-liked, has never been a cultural phenomenon in the way "Downton Abbey" has been over on this side of the pond. I have never been an unreserved fan of the show, finding some of the characters rather repetitive and twee, although it is generally entertaining and does its job well. For once you get into it, there are enough good performances – particularly Martin Clunes, Caroline Catz, and Eileen Atkins – to keep you interested.
Unlike the "Downton Abbey" finale, there was serious drama at the conclusion of "Doc Martin" this season. However there was also one of those rare moments when one sees two good actors doing a superb job addressing serious matters that come up in the lives of human beings, wherever they happen to sit on the social scale. For this reason, "Doc Martin" actually had something better and more relatable to say, despite "Downton" trying to hit all the buttons of lust, murder, rape, and so on. And of course like "Downton", "Doc Martin" is also beautiful to look at, albeit for very different reasons, thanks to the magnificent Cornish coast.
For the finale of "Doc Martin", a conflict between Martin and Louisa comes to a head, which at first I must confess I found incredibly irritating. Louisa knew what Martin was like, I was thinking to myself, and she married him anyway: she made her bed, now she must lie in it. Yet seemingly within weeks of their wedding, she tires of the trials of living real married life, where all is not sunshine and rainbows.
Interestingly, in the resolution of this crisis it is the taciturn Martin who, with his methodical nature, proves to have a much better grasp of what the term "marriage" actually entails than does the romantic and breezy Louisa. It is Martin who realizes what his duties are, and that in order for things to get better, he is going to have to change, and to work with her together on their marriage. As someone who has always been painfully shy and withdrawn after years of abuse at the hands of his parents, for Martin to stop trying to shield himself is a major triumph. When he does so, at the end of this season, the man of principle within is still there, it is not merely a facade.
In sum, then, both these finales have their high and low points (and the reader is certainly welcome to disagree with my thoughts on each by leaving comments below.) Both are lovely to look at it, albeit for different reasons. And both provide the benefit of making you think, rather than just sitting back and allowing your brain to atrophy. Given these factors, you could do far worse than to add them to your television viewing.

WFMU showcases 14 bands at SXSW tonight
WFMU, the free-form community radio station in Jersey City, N.J., will be broadcasting live from South by Southwest this evening, beginning at 8 p.m. ET. The station teamed up with Aquarius Records to showcase 14 bands at Spiro's in downtown Austin. Half of the sets will be broadcast live and others recorded for a later date.
Hear the fade down of NPR's Day to Day and News and Notes
The last broadcasts of NPR's Day to Day and News and Notes transmit today from NPR West, the network's production facility in Culver City, Calif. If you can't listen live on an NPR station, audio streams from both broadcasts will be available via the shows' websites (here and here) after 3 p.m. ET. The blog LA Observed has an appreciation of the "nice job" that Day to Day has done in saying good-bye to its listeners.
Pledge program prompts columns
An online column about a PBS pledge-drive special, The UltraMind Solution, has sparked a debate on Salon.com. The show offers a combination of books, DVDs and home questionnaires to reportedly help participants sharpen their minds and lessen depression and anxiety. The program ran during pledge drives and related items were given as pledge bonuses. Dr. Robert Burton, a former hospital chief of neurology, calls physician and author Mark Hyman's medical theories a "fringe opinion" and is troubled by the show's appearance of an infomercial. Hyman responds that his program is based on sound medical research and is grateful for PBS's "courageous stand" in airing the show.
It's a beautiful day for Fred Rogers news
Mr. Rogers has arrived in Pittsburgh. Well, actually it's a 7,000-pound figure of the late PBS star. The nearly 11 foot tall likeness will be the centerpiece of a new Tribute to Children park on the Ohio River facing the city. The legendary Mister Rogers' Neighborhood was produced for more than 40 years at the WQED studios in Pittsburgh. In other Fred Rogers news, everyone is encouraged to wear a cardigan sweater -- his trademark -- today in honor of what would have been his 80st birthday. Family Communications is hoping to turn his birthday into an annual tradition of community service, to be known as "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" Day. "The sweater is the fun part," says Margy Whitmer of Family Communications, the show's producer and distributor. "It reminds you of Fred."
