The man who guided Wimbledon to one of the biggest FA Cup Final shocks of all time with victory against Liverpool will be taking supporters through the entire 90 minutes exactly 25 years since that memorable match on 14 May, 1988. Supporters can still book a place for this event at the Cherry Red Records Stadium next Tuesday night using the details at the bottom of this page.
“I inherited a squad with a lot of inner belief from Harry Bassett,” said Bobby, who is pictured above right with then Wimbledon assistant manager Don Howe after they masterminded the 1988 triumph. “We went on a pre-season tour of Sweden and during a meeting in a hotel four or five of the players stood up and had a few things to say. The players said they had been successful by playing in a certain way and asked me to consider not changing to a passing style. It was based on the players doing their jobs well and working hard for each other.
They may have been known as the Crazy Gang, but Bobby added that Wimbledon’s players left no stone unturned in their preparations for the 1988 final – including practicing penalties the day before.
Bobby will be providing a unique insight into just how Vinnie and the rest of the Crazy Gang upset the side that dominated English football in the 1980s next Tuesday when a full re-run of the 1988 FA Cup Final will be shown.
Each attendee will be able to redeem their ticket at the bar for a drink up to the value of £3. Tickets are £3 for this event.

Although the almond tree is native to the Mediterranean region, this beautiful tree has adapted to the climate of Kashmir. Big and shady, these trees grow up to a height of 15m and have large oval leaves tinged with red and fleshy fruits. These fruits turn bright red from green during the mature phase. The fruits of the almond tree are very aromatic and sweet.
Almonds are considered the healthiest nuts to eat because they have the highest protein content of any nut. Almonds are also a rich source of calcium and many minerals, such as potassium and phosphorous. Almonds help in lowering cholesterol levels and contain oleic acid, which helps maintain a healthy heart.There are two types of almond tree: bitter and sweet. Almonds grown in Kashmir tend to be slightly bitter but the sweet ones are imported into India from Afghanistan in great quantities.
The almond in Kashmir is synonymous with romance in Kashmir. Ancient Indian literature depicts heroines as someone having dark almond shaped eyes which symbolize beauty and appeal. The heart suit in a pack of playing cards is often called badam or almond in many Indian languages. The Mughals were great patrons of art and lovers of cuisines. As a matter of fact the almond was introduced into Indian cookery by the Mughals. They also contributed a lot to the increase in the use of the almond motif in textiles, weaving and sculpture.

The Eastern Conference Finals are set after the Boston Celtics took advantage of a great fourth quarter to storm past the Washington Wizards and win a tense Game Seven at home. The home team took all seven games in the series, so I guess that is why you fight for that top seed all season long; unless you are Cleveland of course. The Cavaliers took their foot off the gas so dramatically that they literally GAVE the top seed back to Boston in an act of seeming disinterest/disrespect.
Now, the Eastern Conference Finals are set to begin, and the Celtics are in a comfortable position, at home, with home court advantage with a trip to the Finals on the line. Will that home court advantage be enough to push them through? Will it be enough to even make this a competitive series? Vegas is definitely skeptical of Brad Stevens cast of almost-stars, installing them as a significant underdog. 5 Dimes has them at +400 against Cleveland’s -500, Bovada is a little stingier on both sides, offering Boston at +375 and Cleveland at -550. Either way, the money favors Cleveland by a very healthy margin.
Is an upset possible? Even more importantly, is the 4/1 flyer a worthwhile Lotto ticket? After all, the Celtics are deep and have home court advantage?? Let’s take a look at some interesting wagers for the Eastern Conference Finals.
I am not usually a huge fan of 1/5 odds. That is a lot of money to lay down for a pretty modest return. The risk vs. reward spectrum gets a little too wide for my liking, but barring a LeBron catastrophe, it is very difficult seeing this team lose the series. Compared to the Golden State Warriors opening at -1100, it seems like a steal. The Cavaliers sleepwalked through the Indiana series, looking unimpressive at times, but still garnered the series sweep. They hit the accelerator a little bit for Toronto, and blew the doors of the Raptors to the point where poor DeMar DeRozan did everything but wear a LeBron James jersey to the Game Four postgame presser. They didn’t just beat the Raptors, they utterly demoralized a franchise. I think that was a sign of where this team is right now, and I have a feeling the same thing is in store for the Celtics.
Now, before tip-off, the Celtics could very well learn they now possess the top pick in next year’s NBA Draft, so “decimate the franchise” could be an overstatement; were Cleveland to sweep the C’s out the door after a regular season that earned them the #1 seed – it would be a STRONG signal that their collection of ‘good’ to ‘very good’ (and one ‘excellent’ in I.T’s case) players is lacking the true STAR power to win an NBA title. It could lead to a massive roster shake-up, even with the potential #1 pick in tow. Whether Jimmy Butler or Gordon Hayward are big enough stars to make the difference, I remain skeptical. But if Cleveland does what I think they are about to do to Boston, they will have to consider some massive offseason moves.
No offense to Kelly Olynyk, but I don’t think he is netting 26 points in a game to bail out the Celtics against the Cavs like he did in Game Seven against Washington. The Celtics got above-average contributions from Avery Bradley in the Wizards series and got excellent play out of Al Horford, but they don’t have a trio that can dream of competing with LeBron, Kyrie, and Love over the course of a long series. Their best player, Isaiah Thomas, is asked to do more and complies more counting stats, but is no better than a push with Kyrie. Kevin Love is better than Al Horford, and the remaining supporting Cavs cast all play their roles with aplomb. They have excellent defenders like Shumpert, rebounders and rim protectors in Tristan Thompson, and can spread the floor with some of the most lethal shooters in the league, including newly-acquired Kyle Korver. This team is FAR more than just their Big Three. The Cavs are better two through ten, and the #1 -LeBron, is ridiculously and obviously unequalled.
The proof to me was contained in the final meeting between these teams in the regular season. With home court advantage on the line and both teams playing at max effort, Cleveland went IN TO Boston and beat them with a yawn. They overwhelmed Boston; a casual dismissal of any threat to their Eastern Conference supremacy, and while Boston would never say it aloud, I think they KNOW IT too.
To me, the question in this series isn’t “IF” Cleveland wins, but how quickly. And we shall discuss that prop wager next.
Here is where the wagering possibilities get interesting. Do you give Boston a puncher’s chance with home court advantage and some of the glaring defensive metrics that plagued the Cavs in the regular season? After all, Cleveland was just 22nd in defensive efficiency to Boston’s 22nd. If so, you can get a really nice price for Cleveland winning in six games. That would do a lot for the home court advantage factor, allowing them to split the first two at home and stave off elimination in Game Five before capitulating in Cleveland in Game Six. I like that value at +240.
I also like the “doors blown off” in “time to reevaluate our entire roster and philosophy” fashion that LeBron has done to more than a few teams over the last decade (Chicago, Indiana, Toronto…) and a sweep. Forget those defensive metrics; the Cavs didn’t put out much effort for a lot of stretches this season. This team CAN play defense, they just have to WANT to. I think they will WANT TO starting tomorrow night. Somewhat surprisingly, Vegas doesn’t find a sweep to be too far-fetched either, as it is priced at just +300.
I can’t envision this series going the full seven games. Cleveland doesn’t NEED to be at home to win, and they showed that clearly at the end of the season with the massacre in Boston. I think that game result was a big reason they chose ‘rest’ over ‘fighting for home court advantage’ the final week of the season. After that game, they knew Boston was no threat and decided to play the long game and get healthy for the eventual Golden State trifecta. This week, that prescience comes to fruition.
LeBron can score. Obviously. But it isn’t his primary objective or competency. He is much better when facilitating and getting the entire team involved. If you have to pick your poison, you are mathematically better off with LeBron scoring 35 to 40 and hoping his teammates don’t get confidence from knocking down a ton of open shots. That means no cheating off Kyle Korver or JR Smith or Channing Frye. It means no double teaming on the block or running extra defenders at pick and rolls. It means everyone staying home and hoping instead of helping.
It also means LeBron having a monster 40-point effort a time or two in the series.
I think those monster games where Boston tries to play the slim percentages and refuses to help on ‘Bron is enough to get his average north of 30 in this series. The only downside to this wager is the possibility of a blowout game or two where his minutes are curtailed.
Conversely, I don’t see why Cleveland would have any opposition to trying everything to neutralize I.T. His teammates had a few good games in the Wizards series and carried them to wins. They also had a few poorer games and the Celtics got smoked. If I am Cleveland, I am trying to cut the head off the snake and eliminate Thomas’s offensive outbursts. Kyrie isn’t a great defender, but the Cavaliers do have plenty of other people who can help. Don’t be surprised to see more talented, bigger and physical defenders get turns on I.T. and for Kyrie to slide to the less-dangerous Avery Bradley. If Avery Bradley can score 25, so be it, but they won’t let Thomas be a one-man band.
Game One seems to be the game where the underdog generally has the best chance to steal one; however, today the underdog is at home, fresh off an emotional Game Seven victory and the road team is the well-rested favorite. I think Cleveland gets the jump on the Celtics Wednesday night and immediately steals back what the Celtics worked so hard for all season long; home court advantage. That makes the minus 500 series price potentially the lowest that number will ever be, so if you like the Cavs in the series, I’d get in early. Boston has the home court, but I don’t see any way Warriors vs. Cavaliers III isn’t part of our June viewing pleasure.

NEW DELHI: Starting December 1, the city’s homeless would be able to test the Delhi government’s mohalla clinic project at two locations—Dandi Park on way to ISBT Kashmere Gate and Sarai Kale Khan.
Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board had originally started off with a plan to set up half a dozen mohalla clinics at places of high concentration of homeless. Some of the possible locations were Bangla Sahib Gurdwara, Geeta Ghat, Dandi Park, Sarai Kale Khan, near Jama Masjid and Shakurbasti. While only two would be functional now, a third would come up later at Shakurbasti where there is a night shelter.
Winter aggravates sickness among the homeless and only the severely affected reach hospitals. These clinics could offer the most basic healthcare facilities, it’s hoped. As of now, there are 198 night shelters. By the first week of December, 62 temporary shelters would be added as well.
The mohalla clinic model would be the same as in other parts of the city, but since these would come up near night shelters, there could be some changes such as doctor timings and structure of the clinics. So far, there are no dedicated dispensaries or clinics near the night shelters. The sick are mostly dependent on shelter staff and caretakers for their medical needs.
At Yamuna Pushta, all homeless are referred to a recovery shelter at Geeta Ghat where a doctor is available for a fixed time. After treatment, most homeless return to the streets or the Geeta Ghat night shelter. This time, though, DUSIB would add a recovery shelter at Sarai Kale Khan, the third after the ones at Geeta Ghat and Kalkaji.
With no separate facility for women, DUSIB plans to divide the recovery shelter to accommodate ailing homeless women.
DUSIB officials said 19 rescue teams with vans are on alert and would be out on regular rounds from next month to help the homeless.

Steven Greydanus on "United 93"
It is not exploitative. It is not manipulative. It is not strident or judgmental. It does not demonize or lionize anybody. It is as restrained, as respectful, as deeply moving a tribute to the passengers of United Flight 93 (not to mention assorted key players on the ground) as I can imagine a film being.
As a New York area resident who watched the WTC burn and fall with my own eyes, I am deeply appreciative of this film. My brother-in-law, who was actually in the vicinity of Ground Zero during the attacks, was my very reluctant guest tonight, having felt strongly ahead of time that he would never watch any film on this subject, but afterwards he was very grateful that he had been imposed upon to see it, and said afterward that he hopes that resistance to the subject matter will not prevent the film from finding the success it deserves.
Paul Greengrass has done an amazing job here. He has resisted all manner of temptations regarding conflicting agendas of various kinds, and against all odds he has told the story of Flight 93 with (what seems to me) extraordinary integrity.
Are these the extent of his comments or is there a link for more?
It will be interesting to see how viewers respond to the film, depending on whether or not they were eyewitnesses to the horrors that day. Will eyewitnesses apply a different criteria to the film? Personally I am not going to see the film because for me I cannot help but think about the other films the director has made, and how they were meant for entertainment, etc blah blah blah. (Oh the terrible burden of the cinephile!) I struggled with the same thing over The Passion of the Christ. However, I chose to see that particular film because I love Christ. In the case of United 93, I love the passengers because of their experience, but I do not want to have any kind of vicarious exposure to it. Seeing United 93 will not cause me, a non-witness to 911, to reasses my feelings about what happened on that day; neither will it create a new guage upon which I rate heroism. I am already convinced the passengers were heroic. The film will not change my mind about that.
The issue of eyewitness -vs- non-eyewitness is interesting. For me, as an eyewitness, I’m interested in media interpretations of what I experienced so I can arrive at a possible fuller understanding of what happened. Being there, I know how limited my understanding actually was. Perhaps those whose primary experience of 9/11 WAS a media interpretation, don’t want more interpretations?
As to this being purely a commercial film, who are we fooling? This isn’t the latest Jerry Bruckheimer production. On the other side, I do know some who were there who will NOT want to see this film simply because they don’t want to relive the trauma of that particularly beautiful autumn day.
the films doing good on rottentomatoes.com so i’m talking that as a good sign…and i want this film to be good…i think this film will be much better received than Stone’s movie.
Speaking of eyewitnesses, many of the characters “on the ground” are actually played by themselves — including the head of the FAA.
Of course, in one very important sense, this is NOT an eyewitness movie, because none of the people who witnessed the events aboard Flight 93 are alive to tell the tale.
Personally I am not going to see the film because for me I cannot help but think about the other films the director has made, and how they were meant for entertainment, etc blah blah blah.
Admittedly I have not seen Bloody Sunday and I would love to watch it. But I am one of the few in the world who actually did not like The Bourne Supremacy.
BTW I do not mean to suggest that I think Greengrass is aiming to entertain with his film. Especially after reading Greydanus’ review, I am confident that it is sensitive and appropriate for the subject.
That being said, I have been exposed so much through the media to the events in 2001 that I struggle with finding my genuine reaction to it. Seeing a movie about that day would probably dilute my experience even further. While I do look to the arts for succor and understanding, in the case of national tragedy I think I would prefer to explore it through a different form than film.
That being said, I have been exposed so much through the media to the events in 2001 that I struggle with finding my genuine reaction to it. Seeing a movie about that day would probably dilute my experience even further.
There’s nothing narcissistic about feeling bombarded with messages about how you’re SUPPOSED to feel. I sympathize with you. I still cling to my memory of what that day was like for me and for Anne. I don’t want anyone to twist my own thoughts and feelings to fit their particular agenda, be it political, spiritual, or whatever.
Just as I don’t want to watch my wedding day from the angle of someone else’s video camera, and have my own personal perspective on the day overwritten by what a machine captured, so I don’t want the memories of that day that drive me to meditation, prayer, and vigilance to be replaced by manufactured images that take me into “the heart of the horror.” What was done was shameful. If I care about children victimized by rapists, I don’t need to see footage of “the act” in order to understand what happened. Similarly, I didn’t NEED to see “The Passion of the Christ” to understand what Jesus went through.
Having said that, I know there are people who need the reminders, or who are seeking to understand, or who want to honor the memories of brave people by showing their bravery. I have no problem with that, so long as no one declares what the RIGHT or WRONG response to it is.
So no, you’re not being narcissistic. You’re in line with folks like Walker Percy and even T-Bone Burnett who have written about the tendency of our media-addicted culture to turn to other people (who often have questionable agendas) to provide their perspectives and opinions for them.
So while people pack the theaters this weekend, Kool, I’ll join you in steering clear and guarding my personal memories and perspectives against the kind of thing that can inadvertently distract or delude us or even damage an individual’s experience.
When I watch “Hotel Rwanda,” I’m trying to understand something, cure my ignorance, and become informed. But this… this happened to all of us, vividly, in ways we’ll never forget. Personally, I don’t need to be reminded about the day that hit me like a Mack truck.
I know the feeling. I’ve spent the last 2 days alternating between resolutions and returning to my baser instincts.
It can be difficult to be creative when you lapse into old routines and settle into the comfort zone.
Don’t know if you had a chance to see this article on what makes art Christian. It’s short but makes a few good points on the Christian label and how God made us in His image.
So it can be a bit dispiriting to return to the same ol’ routine, even though I’m thrilled to see my co-workers again. I hope the momentum from the Workshop will carry me for a long time to come, but I fear my mind will quickly become crowded with the busy-ness of the everyday.
At last, someone says it out loud: Air vents are not for people!

What you’ll find here: The Great Smoky Mountains, according to the National Park Service, is, “the most biodiverse park in the National Park system…featuring over 19,000 documented species” and up to 80,000-100,000 species that haven’t been documented yet.
What you can’t miss: Often referred to as Wildflower National State Park, the Great Smoky Mountains offer over 1,500 different types of flowering plants.
Know before you go: April 24-28, 2018 is the Spring Wildflower Pilgrimage. The annual event offers professionally-guided walks to explore all that the Park has to offer. You can register online for this event starting March 1.
Airport to fly into: While you could fly into Nashville (a three-hour trip to the Park) or Charlotte (a two-and-a-half-hour drive), the 10-hour road trip is a relatively easy one!
One thing you should definitely pack: A good daypack. Between hiking, participating in a wildflower walk and searching for wildlife and historic buildings such as the charming Caldwell House, you'll fit a lot in a day. Be sure to pack your favorite GoMacro or Clif Bars and plenty of water in your HydraFlask.
What you can’t miss: The warmer Spring air begins to thaw out all that’s been frozen, creating peak waterfall season in March, April and May. Yosemite Falls, the highest waterfall in North America and the sixth largest in the world at 2,424 feet tall.
Know before you go: Tioga Road and Glacier Point Road remain closed for the season, often through April due to lingering snow. Focus your plans in the Yosemite Valley and Wawona areas.
Airport to fly into: SFO. Yosemite is approximately a three-hour drive from San Francisco.
One thing you should definitely pack: Walking sticks. With so much to explore, a set of sticks will help absorb some of the impact from its varying terrain.
What you can’t miss: The poster child of Arches is “Delicate Arch” or perhaps “Windows,” but there are literally thousands of unique and beautiful formations. Explore!
Know before you go: March marks the beginning of busy season for Arches due to its beautiful, mild climate. Be prepared to get your day started early to ensure you can find parking at the trailhead of your choice.
Airport to fly into: Salt Lake City is a 3.5-hour drive from Arches. That said, flights in and out of Denver are often easier to come by. Your drive from Denver would be a beautiful 5.5-hour road trip through ski towns like Copper and Vail to name a few.
One thing you should definitely pack: Your camera. This Park is an outdoors-lover’s dream! You don’t have to be an expert photographer to take home some beautiful artwork (literally any shot of Fiery Furnace is sure to please!) to hang when you get back to Milwaukee. Or get super creative and bring your GoPro along so you don't miss a thing!
What you’ll find here: Miles and miles of beautiful red sandstone, slot canyons and a wide array of plants and animals.
What you can’t miss: You really can’t go wrong hiking here, but the Canyon Overlook Trail provides some unparalleled views of Zion Canyon without a long hike (it’s just a mile round trip). If you want that killer view with a bit more hiking involved, try Angel’s Landing.
Know before you go: Spring is considered Zion’s “off-season,” but keep in mind it’s the sixth most-visited National Park in the US, so crowds are inevitable. That doesn’t mean that you won’t be able to find some peace and serenity, just plan accordingly and be sure to research how to achieve exactly what you’re looking for.
Airport to fly into: Las Vegas is just about a 2.5-hour drive to Zion. Between low cost flights and a pretty solid daily schedule to and from General Mitchell Airport, it’ll be easy to find a flight that works with your preferred schedule.
One thing you should definitely pack: Gore-Tex boots. There are several opportunities to hike through some standing water, but to keep comfortable and safe, you’ll want to have the protection of boots that have a Gore-Tex component to them.
Average temperature in March: Highs of 56F during the day and lows of 30F at night.
What you’ll find here: According to the National Park Service, the country’s largest cacti, which stands over 45ft tall. The Friends of Saguaro National Park cites that saguaros that tall can weigh an impressive seven tons or more. Appropriately named, there are hundreds of thousands of saguaros throughout the park.
What you can’t miss: Ancient rock art, called petroglyphs, seen throughout the park and thought to be created by prehistoric Hohokam, who lived in the region.
Know before you go: There are campsites only available in the park’s East District – Rincon Mountain District. All campsites are backcountry wilderness sites meaning you have to hike in (vs. driving in to your site) with all of your supplies, including water (as there isn’t running water available).
Airport to fly into: Though Tuscon has an airport, there aren’t direct flights from Milwaukee. We recommend flying into Phoenix Sky Harbor and renting a car for the two-hour drive south. There’s of course plenty of glorious hiking in Phoenix, too!
One thing you should definitely pack: Hiking boots. With over 150 miles of trails to explore in moderate heat, you’ll want reliable and breathable footwear to ensure that your journey is an enjoyable experience.
Ready to adventure out? Hike on into Yellow Wood for more tips on where to go in the National Parks and gear that will get you through it comfortably. See you soon and happy trails!
What you’ll find here: Adventure awaits on our region’s gem. There are 1,000 miles of trail to explore and one of only eleven National Scenic Trails.
What you can’t miss: If you’re staying close to home, check out Parnell Tower, a 60-foot observation tower nestled in the Kettle Moraine State Forest. You’ll indulge in breathtaking panoramic views extending about 25 miles. Know before you go: Depending on which segment you opt to hike, there may be State Park entrance fees. Plan ahead by checking out the Ice Age Trail Alliance for info and recommended day hikes.
One thing you should definitely bring along: Perhaps our favorite part of staying close to home? You’re welcome to bring your pup along for your adventure along the Ice Age Trail.

what did other mechanics do? did they try to repeat the symptoms?. Maybe temp sending unit is picking up false temp from sun?.By overheating do you mean actual overheating or is gauge reading it as such?. Is fan turning on when engine temp is hot? if yes at what temp reading?.Maybe temp sending unit failing to tell fan to turn on?If dash lights died maybe reason for fan not coming on to cool fluid.
fan works and runs, dash lights dead,actually over heats, runs rough, gauge soars, also replaced battery, and alternator,hoses,radiator, mechanics actually started working on car for free, was a challenge, even replaced some parts for free.

Maple bacon walnut pie is just what your holiday dessert table needs. The savory bacon bits are the perfect counterpart to the sweet, maple syrup-covered walnuts.
Cookies get all the hype during December and pies are left behind with Thanksgiving, but if you ask me, pies are still a key player in the dessert realm at Christmastime. This past weekend I made a maple bacon walnut pie and it was just what I needed.
No, you did not misread that sentence, this pie has bacon in it—and it works. It creates a savory, salty flavor, which offsets the sweet maple syrup and crunchy walnuts.
If you are a fan of pecan pies, then you should definitely try making this one. It has a similar consistency (think gooey and crunchy at the same time), but has a delightful bacon flavor in every bite.
And like pecan pies, this maple bacon walnut pie freezes beautifully—perfect for the busy holiday season. Just let the fresh pie cool completely, then wrap tightly and freeze.
You can defrost the pie in the refrigerator, or if you’re in a rush, put it in the oven at 200° F for 20 to 30 minutes. The OXO glass 9″ pie plate I used is made of thermal shock resistant borosilicate glass, which means it can go from freezer to oven without the need to thaw. How perfect is that?
I also had a lot of fun using the OXO double pastry wheel on my pie crust. I was able to trim the edges right there on the pie plate, which has a generous rim making it easy to transport from the oven to the table! I also used the pastry brush to apply an egg white wash on the crust (making it nice and shiny).
If you signed yourself up for bringing a dessert this holiday season, definitely try making this maple bacon walnut pie. It’s something out of the ordinary, but will still satisfy everyone’s sweet tooth.
Preheat oven to 400° F. Place pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
In large bowl, beat eggs until slightly foamy. Whisk in browned butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and maple syrup until combined. Stir in flour, milk, and vanilla. Add walnuts and bacon and stir until fully coated.
Pour filling into pie crust. Bake 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 325° F and bake until filling no longer jiggles in the center, 40 to 50 minutes more. Cool completely (ideally overnight in the fridge) before slicing and serving.
Making this maple bacon walnut pie ahead of time? Let the pie cool completely, then wrap tightly with plastic wrap and freeze. Thaw in the refrigerator, or reheat for 20 to 30 minutes in a 200° F oven, or until warmed through (perfectly safe to do with the OXO glass pie plate).
Disclosure: This post is not a paid advertisement. I am not compensated for this recipe or blog post, but did receive at no charge the OXO Glass 9″ Pie Plate, Glass 1.6 Qt Loaf Baking Dish, SteeL Pie Server, Double Pastry Wheel, and 1″ Pastry Brush to assist with this post. My opinions are my own. Special thanks to OXO and their Blogger Outreach Program!
Made your recipe today and it was delicious! Thank you for sharing.

If all goes well, it's possible that progressives will grab 10 and perhaps even 12 spots on the 22-member board of ed in November's municipal runoff.
Fortunately, some clear heads are running again, namely Irene Atkinson in Parkdale-High Park, Liz Hill of York South-Weston, and Stephnie Payne of York West.
In Don Valley East, progressive Liberal Shelley Carroll is up against incumbent Doug Stephens, and the smart money says Stephens is toast. In Broadview-Greenwood, Lilein Schaeffer is stepping down and Paula Fletcher will take her spot on the Jack Layton ticket.
Two strong new candidates also look like shoo-ins. Former vice-chair of the board Sheila Cary Meagher is making a bid in Beaches-East York, and Coleen Gardhouse, past president of Toronto's OSSTF, looks unstoppable in Scarborough Centre.

The façade is the building’s interface with its environment. It is here that building physics parameters such as heat, moisture, sound, and light interact with the building. All these influences need to be controlled by the building envelope in order to ensure the comfort of the user and the functional performance of the architecture.
This introduction explains the most important phenomena and then relates them to design and building practice – which materials react in which way to these factors? How do façade systems deal with thermal energy, moisture, sound, and light? This practice-oriented book – a result of a cooperation between architects, structural engineers, and building physicists – describes the most important façade types and materials under the aspect of their building physics performance. Numerous schematic drawings produced specifically for the publication illustrate building physics principles for students and practitioners of architecture.

Trading Bitcoin comes with a great deal of risk sometimes but these can be avoided very easily. In this article, we’re going to discuss the trading Bitcoin risk that every trader takes and how to make sure that your investment is successful.
Bitcoin is a highly volatile digital investment, and I’m sure that even cryptocurrency enthusiasts know that well. However, it’s also one of the fastest growing digital assets today. It has been growing due to the growing community behind cryptocurrencies and specifically Bitcoin. You might think that volatility is a bad thing for traders, but you would be wrong. When there’s high volatility in the market, the price shifts are pretty unpredictable. However, the general trend of the coin remains the same. Thus, if you have a solid reasoning for why Bitcoin will rise in value today, you should buy even though it’s a volatile market. However, you can only make money from rising markets in Bitcoin trading. Shorting is pretty complex in the real world, that’s why we suggest using CFDs of Bitcoin. You can be careful and avoid the Bitcoin risk of trading.
Leverage trading is essentially like buying commodities on a loan from your broker. You need to put in around 50% of the trade, the rest of it is paid by the broker. Think of it like this, the bigger the loan that the broker is ready to give you, the bigger your trade size can be.So the profit would be all yours, minus the capital that was borrowed. Therefore, it’s pretty useful to trade on margin since you can make higher trades. For example, leverage trading lets you bet much more than the capital you have. That means you could invest $5000 in a $50,000 commodity. If the price of the commodity rises by 50%, your profit on an investment of $5000 would be $25000. If you didn’t use Bitcoin Leverage Trading, your profit would be around $2500. Be careful, however, this brings on many risks as well. Beginner traders should always be very careful with trading in Bitcoin leverage. Even though this increases the Bitcoin risk of trading, you can set stop losses to minimize losses.
The risk-management tools that are offered to each user on Plus500 are a great way to minimize your risks. These tools allow you to minimize your loss when for example you speculate that Bitcoin prices will rise, and it eventually plummets, the program will automatically change your position when the price drops to a specific level. This is called a guaranteed stop loss and it’s very useful for day traders. Hedging is also one of the most important tools in trading since one needs to implement risk management strategies in volatile times. Hedging in trading refers to opening two positions in the market. If you were to make a profit on one trade, you’d make a loss on the other. For example, you go long and short on the same asset, which would technically nullify any losses or profits. Thus your total capital stays protected. This tactic rather than strategy is very important in volatile times. You can read about more Bitcoin strategies in our article here.
You can use Plus500 for trading and benefit from these risk management strategies and our article on how to invest in Bitcoin using Plus500.

In the countdown to the Christmas break I didn't get time to check out an announcement from MyHeritage about a new collection of newspapers, but I made a note and finally got round to exploring the records over the past weekend.
I'm glad I did. The new collection has rich pickings potential for Irish family historians on both sides of the Atlantic.
The collection is a new and exclusive compendium of historical Massachusetts newspapers. Spanning 1704–1974, it holds 239 titles published in various cities in the state, and its database holds an impressive total of 6,072,877 searchable pages.
It's been created with a particular emphasis on papers from Boston and surrounding locales, making it fertile ground for hunting down ancestors from Ireland, and has been produced by MyHeritage in partnership with the Boston Public Library.
Having made a search for the surname Santry (for my one-name study), I was almost overwhelmed with the number of results. My goodness, the Santrys loved sport! But rather more importantly I also found many reports and announcements relating to marriages, births and deaths, the marketing efforts of an unexpected chiropodist, court cases, a bankruptcy, trade union meetings and society events. A real pot of gold! It's going to take me some time to transcribe/copy all my findings!

have i told you before? have i?
that i like to lie in bed at night with the lights out and watch little movies like this one on my ipad.
just before i fall asleep.
dreaming of bus rides through snowy hills.
and little cafes just like this one.
Charles Bukowski’s Nirvana from Patrick Biesemans on Vimeo.
How beautifully paired, the little film and the poem. I sometimes get that “curious feeling that everything is beautiful”. I call them my ecstatic moments.
Always enjoy visiting you MaryAnn for I never know just when you will enchant me with a special offering such as this. I have heard of Bukowski but never read him….never been patient enough with poetry, but I will have to check him out. Would be nice to have a video and Paul G’s amazing readings to assist me. Make up my failure of imagination. sigh.
I enjoyed this a lot, and it’ll send me off to search for more, thanks. It reminds me a little of Jack Kerouac, though I’m not comparing.
Love the little film, thanks for sharing.
mesmerizing. *sigh* thank you for sharing.
I loved this, every little thing… even the aluminum pie pan, but I have to ask (because: 1. I am an idiot. 2. They don’t teach this at my school), how is this a poem?
Delightful video! And speaking of delights, is it the 15th yet? I can’t wait for your class to start!
Hello sweet girlie! Happy holidays to you! What a very delightful way to spend the evening in the dark! You are my kind of gal! How the heck are you!?
Love that so much. Thank you for sharing. I’m not familiar with Bukowski – but I can tell you now, I will be.
Charles Bukowski and diners…heaven. From the time I was a little girl I’ve LOVED diners. Still do. On vacations my favorite part would be to have my Mom, Dad and siblings all in a booth, in a diner, while traveling on the road. Thankyou for starting my busy day off with such a beautiful piece accompanied by my own beautiful memories! By the way…for those wanting to know the voice, it is Paul Giamatti, the marvelous character actor. In the movie Sideways (he starred in it) he spoke of Charles Bukowski.
Loved that. Thanks for sharing and now I must buy some Bukowski. Too bad that guy can’t read it to me. Somehow, I don’t think the voice in my head can match the complexity of his.
Ahhh…western North Carolina, land of Andy Griffith, Aunt Bea and Mayberry, I live nearby. Sweet little piece, but marred for me by one visual detail. I’m not trying to be a stickler or a spoilsport, but a disposable aluminum pie plate? Really? If the setting is a fuzzy, distant past, the pies would have been baked on premises in a reusable dish.
That lapse was a visual red flag of anachronism for me and the camera returned for a second peek(where granted the dish was less obvious). Funny what draws our attention.
nice way to fall asleep. last night watcge The best marigold hotel. a kindly movie.
ahhh…my brother is a HUGE Charles Bukowski fan- I will need to forward this on to him…thank you!
Magic Mary Ann!!! Pure and sweet magic. The video reminded me very much of a scene from Mad Men, one of those scenes that feel out of place amid the story line but reveals something deeply significant about one of the characters. Something that knowing it changes your perception of the character, the story beneath the story. Thanks for sharing this gem with us. Sweet Dreams.

We all know we are supposed to exercise daily. Most folks have stories about a treadmill that doubles as a coat rack or planter in their basement. Many have purchased expensive gym memberships that go unused.
Usually, it’s because at some point we decide we must make an investment in physical fitness, so we invest dollars in work out equipment or a fancy gym membership, thinking that will force us to do what we don’t feel like doing.
Unfortunately, until we make the commitment to move our bodies daily, we are doomed to feel guilty about the financial investments without the time and energy investments to match.
What if we decide to commit to moving our bodies daily with a much smaller goal in mind?
It’s like the old joke, “How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.” Experts say we should walk 10,000 steps a day. You can pick up an inexpensive pedometer at any big discount store. You wear it on your waist, and it tracks each step you take during the day. It’s an excellent way to create your own baseline so you know the average number of steps you take in a normal day.
Even if you find that without official exercise, you clock 5,000 steps a day, you know you can take a 30-minute walk daily and make up the additional 5,000 steps.
All the research studies suggest that folks who simply walk 30 minutes a day add years to their life, as well as life to their years. They feel better. They act and think young. They decrease their risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes. Once you get in the habit of doing a daily walk, you will notice that you don’t have the same energy on the days you miss, and your mental outlook is not as rosy.
Some folks like walking with their iPod, others like to listen to the sounds of Nature- dogs barking, birds singing, and yes, even horns honking occasionally, if you live in the city.
Others prefer the company of a walking buddy. Whichever your preference, getting your body moving on a daily basis is critical to your sense of well-being.
Look for ways to move your body, even when you’re sitting in your chair. Flex your legs, make circles with your arms. You can still join a gym, and work out on machines, or use your home treadmill. However, the fresh air will do you good. Even when it’s cold, wear layers, like a hat and scarf–and go for it!

Applewood Hall, one of Norfolk’s leading wedding venues, was nominated as a Regional Finalist for Best Countryside Wedding Venue, East of England at The Wedding Industry Awards 2018.
Kiera Goymour, Applewood Hall’s resident Wedding Planner attended the awards ceremony last night, alongside in-house caterer Dawn Seager, where they were thrilled to meet fellow finalists and celebrate a fantastic year of weddings.
Having only launched their new ceremony room and wedding garden earlier this year, Applewood Hall’s mantra of “Your wedding. Your way” is clearly appealing to prospective brides and grooms who can create a completely bespoke wedding day whether an indoor or outdoor ceremony, choosing from over 70 locally inspired mouth-watering dishes, wandering the grounds and even having photos with some of the exotic animals at Banham Zoo adjacent to the venue.
With new facilities due to be unveiled in 2018, including four luxury Shepherd’s Cabins and a special Couple’s Cabin complete with king-size bed, a big bathtub perfect for two as well as a complimentary welcome hamper of local Norfolk goodies, it is very much a case of watch this space as Applewood Hall continues to go from strength-to-strength.

A NSW senator is concerned by the “stampeding” of SMSFs into property investment, and intends to launch a Senate inquiry into property investment advisers.
Although the proposal is not yet finalised, Nationals Senator John Williams told SMSF Adviser the inquiry should, among other things, look into the extent of regulation and oversight of the property investment industry and the extent of investment in this sector through SMSFs.
Further, it should look at the qualifications and accreditation currently required to provide proper and qualified advice to potential investors, and any scope for tightening these qualifications.
Mr Williams expressed concern about the lack of regulatory oversight for property investment advisers.
“I can go to my hometown tomorrow, hang a sign out the front that says ‘John Williams, property investment adviser’. I don’t need do any study, I don’t need any experience, I don’t need any licence, I have no oversight of me – that is wrong,” Mr Williams said.
“And I bet you if I was to do that, I would advise people to invest in a property that just happens to return me the greatest commission,” he added.
Mr Williams floated the idea of ASIC having regulatory oversight of advisers on property investment.
“ASIC has done a good job when it comes to financial planning regulations here, obviously, and I think they need powers to clamp down on property spruikers,” he said.

You might think Shimek’s parents would be proud to say “my son, the doctor,” but not in this resolutely traditional Orthodox shtetl. To study medicine, he essentially rejected their tight-knit community. Unfortunately, that also meant turning his back on Buzya, the love of his life. He will return hoping to rectify that mistake, but time marches on in Eva Neymann’s Song of Songs (trailer here), which screens during the 2016 New York Jewish Film Festival.
Based a several Sholem Aleichem short stories, Song of Songs paints an almost naively nostalgic portrait of Russian shtetl life, at a time pogrom concerns were never idle or baseless. Life went on regardless. For young Shimek, this involved elaborately constructed fantasies informed by Kabbalah, wherein Buzya was the princess and he was her knight-protector.
Although Shimek studies with the local rabbi, he only distinguishes himself with discipline problems. It is almost inevitable that Shimek would leave for more cosmopolitan pastures. Ironically, in his absence, Shimek’s parents adopt Buzya, in spirit if not in law, arranging a much more suitable match for her than their rebellious son.
In terms of mise-en-scene, Song is exceptionally accomplished. Production designers Gennadiy Popov and Ilya Iovu make the wooden shtetl house look properly hardscrabble and strangely charming in an old world kind of way. Cinematographer Rimmvydas Leipus duly lenses everything with the glow of romanticized memory. To set the indefinable mood, Neymann uses vintage popping and hissing records of Jewish recording artists, including Jolson and Haifitz, who are not necessarily era-appropriate, but still fit the tenor of the time.
The problem is Neymann’s cast is practically just another set of props for her to manipulate. Subtle and reserved performances can be a revelation, but here they are often just quietly unobtrusive. We can one hundred percent believe these are the weathered, reticent shtetl denizens, but they all leave us on the outside looking in.
Song of Songs is the sort of film you respect rather than feel affection for. Nevertheless, its humanistic portrayal of shtetl life arguably comes at an opportune moment. This is after all, a Ukrainian film, arriving at a time when Russian propaganda would have the world erroneously believe the nation is dominated by goose-stepping National Socialists. Song of Songs is a scrupulously classy, admirably literate production, but mere mortals may have trouble fully embracing it when it screens twice this Thursday (11/21) at the Walter Reade Theater, as part of this year’s NYJFF.

In honor of International Women’s Day (3/8), I’d like to suggest everyone read a story recognizing two heroic women.
Written in 1975 and set in Egypt, Woman at Point Zero by Nawal El Saadawi is a fictionalized memoir. Sharing the narration, Nawal is a reporter who interviews a female prostitute prisoner, Firdaus, who is sentenced to death for murdering her pimp. Firdaus recalls her life story with a unsentimentalized voice. Assaulted through female circumcision, sexual harassment by her uncle, prostitution, and homelessness, Firdaus reclaims her body through financial independence. Her attempt for attaining respectability makes her a great heroine for me as well as Nawal El Saadawi for braving to tell the story.
Two of my favorite books set in Africa illustrate anti-colonization. They are Heart of Darkness by J. Conrad and Waiting for The Barbarians by J. M. Coetzee. If your tastes run to the heavy-hitters in literature, well, you’ve probably already read them! If not, you are missing out.
Last King of Scotland (2006) is a powerful British film. Forest Whitaker earned the Best Actor Oscar for his portrayal of Ugandan President Idi Amin. Take a look at the preview. It reveals the pattern of how dictators begin as revolutionaries who seem like saviors, but once in power, they throttle and kill the very people they wanted to save in the first place.
There are many South African films and books about the ills of the society. Nelson Mandela deserves a blog in his own right. I think of the recent film starring Morgan Freeman in Invictus, but if you don’t know much about Mandela, I recommend the documentary made in 2004 called Life and Times of Nelson Mandela.
I am a fan of science fiction films, so when the film District 9 (2009) came out, I ran to see it. It’s a fascinating allegory of the extraterrestrial race forced to live in slum-like conditions on Earth. Obviously illustrating the polar sides of the segregated blacks and the Afrikaners in Johannesburg, the film shows a twist of the unlikely friendship between the white man and the alien. There’s a trick of the film. You the viewer, who in the beginning of the film cringes at the alien, find yourself empathizing with the creature. The “humanizing” of the alien asks the observer to reevaluate racial prejudice. I loved the film. Here’s a trailer for you.
The quintessential S. African text is Cry the Beloved Country written by Alan Payton in 1948.
If you read this in high school, you probably didn’t like it much. Try reading it again. The descriptions of South Africa are lyrical. It’s the story of a Zulu pastor Stephen Kumalo and his son, Absalom. It demonstrates a people driven by racial injustice. Try watching the film version starring Richard Harris and James Earl Jones.
Blood Diamond (2006) is a perfect film, in my estimation. One interesting aspect demonstrates how war-lords kidnap and brain-wash their boy victims. How they turn them into murderers makes the film original for me. Here’s a film that brings awareness and assists change. Based on a true story, DiCaprio played Archer, the smuggler turned informant. Hounsou, as usual, played the distressed father superbly.
Please watch the award-winning 2010 documentary from PBS, Frontline World. “Ghana: Digital Dumping Ground”. Where do the pitched computers and outdated technology go? One dumping ground is Ghana.
The sad part of this blog is I could go on and on about the issues of the continent. I’d rather write blogs about how beautiful Africa is and ignore the issues. I never once mentioned Ethiopia or the AIDS problem. Where, I ask you, is there not a problem facing Africa? I applaud the books and films that attempt to raise awareness. Whatever it takes to bring about change. Awareness is the first step. Then what?
I’ll add the book recommendation to my summer reading list, thanks!
I’ve read Heart of Darkness and Waiting for the Barbarians. Not easy reads. I just recorded Cry, Beloved country but haven’t watched it yet.
The acting is very nice and the cinematography is sound. I love the shots of the countryside. Hope you like it as much as I did.
Well, wow! Thanks so much! Of course, I accept and thank you! I’m an admirer of your blog, so it means a lot that someone out there thinks my blog worthy of reading….
Are African films, by definition, only those that are sub-Saharan?

Flossing matters. Flossing will keep me healthy. Flossing is of the utmost importance!
But, I might not floss tonight.
Tonight my grandson lies sleeping in the guestroom.
I will sleep with him so that he won’t wake in fear.
His mom and dad are wide-awake – keeping watch over baby brother.
First a fever, sudden seizure, breathing stopped, baby brother is limp and blue.
CPR! Ambulance! Emergency Room! Life and Death in the balance.
But my grandson, sleeping sweetly, does not know how close we came to death.
He does not know how scary it is for us because we do know how close.
I rushed to hospital to wait, to help…..oh, if only I could.
To be there for the answer, no matter what it was.
To see my son – a man, a father – look so frightened, so in need.
Into his heart to make strong and brave, my son, a father.
If I could give him that…well that would be more than almost anything I had ever given.
Fall silently and embarrassedly from his eyes.
What could I offer, but love?
And a mother’s promise that everything would be okay.
How many times have I said those words?
Never knowing if they are true.
Hoping, please, yes, let it be okay.
Sleeping grandson dreams with a little smile on rosy lips.
He does not know how scared the adults were.
He is having an adventure.
Food from a vending machine.
A late night ride with grammy and grampy.
No pajamas packed, he sleeps in his favorite superhero undies and rumpled T-shirt.
I look at his sweet face, so free from fear and I know that flossing takes too long.
Of hope and rainbows and everything will be okay.
I will sleep with him so that I won’t wake in fear.
I have no time to waste. I will not floss tonight.
First and foremost, I am a mother and grandmother. I formed my opinions about life at an early age and they haven’t really changed much since then – I believe war does not create lasting solutions, love will be the real revolution, and the human heart can expand until it holds love for the whole world. I have been a teacher, a newspaper columnist, a bank teller, a house cleaner, an executive director of a non-profit dedicated to education advocacy, a diversity trainer, AIDS activist, a group facilitator, and a waitress. Whatever it took to raise 5 kids and remain true to my values. I can’t carry a tune, but I love to sing and don’t know any steps, but I love to dance!
I have always used writing as a way to reflect on my own life and as a way to examine life’s big questions. I have just started blogging recently. Mostly I have been concentrating on fiction and poetry.
My first novel, I CALL MYSELF EARTH GIRL, is now available on Amazon.

Rhodes Theatre newcomer Karen Gooding went to see this year's panto, Snow White, for us.
Here's what she made of it.
Taking our seats in The Rhodes Theatre you could feel the excitement already building for the performance of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Looking around at the children’s faces it is easy to see why this time honoured tradition still packs theatres everywhere.
As a newcomer to Bishops Stortford I wasn’t sure what to expect from this pantomime. What I got definitely exceeded all my expectations and I came away feeling captivated, jubilant and overjoyed.
The entire set is brilliant, the costumes colourful and the complete production cast are amazing. The Queen, played by Katie Miller, is full of energy, charismatic and larger than life.
She holds the audience, both young and old, with the added bonus of using today’s social media resources to bring the traditional story into the 21st century.
This is both extremely clever and holds the attention of the audience being so current.
Snow White, played by Abbie Middleton-Evans, is just as perfect as you would imagine and her voice is mellifluous. Looking round at the little girls near me, also dressed as princesses, they sat on the edge of their seats hanging off her every word.
Prince Pleasing, played by Buck Braithwaite, and the Henchman played by Drew Gregg have a fantastic on stage relationship and both voices are powerful and controlled.
This brings me onto; for me the star of the show, Muddles, played by Terel Nugent. Despite having his knee strapped up because of an earlier injury, he definitely brings the stage to light.
He is extremely entertaining, humorous and proves he can ad-lib when required! His connection with Snow White is both charming and their on stage presence a delight.
And finally the dwarfs!The idea is brilliant and a credit to Phil Dale and will leave you laughing out loud.
If you want to be entertained, laugh, watch the delight on the children’s faces and come away feeling joyous and glowing in the aftermath of contentment, you should go along and give your support to Phoenix Theatre Acts.
I now cannot wait for next year’s performance.

I have a few Nuget packages that I maintain, and when I get a new PR or add a new feature or bugfix, I like to try and get the change out quickly. Unfortunately, this is a somewhat manual process for me currently, and I don’t do it all that often, so I screw it up a high percentage of the time. Or I end up putting it off because it’s not something I can just click a button to perform.
This post serves to document the steps I need to take when making an update to an open-source project that has an associated Nuget package. I’ll update it as necessary to suit my needs, and hopefully others will find it useful as well. Eventually I’ll try to automate it, but for now a manual, error-prone process is improved by a standardized process with a checklist, which in turn is improved by a scripted version of the same process.
I’m trying this out as I write this using my GuardClauses project. The steps should be pretty much the same for SmartEnum or any of my other open source projects that are published as NuGet packages.
Clone the repository and/or get latest on master.
Build the solution and run all unit tests.
Open a terminal window in the project’s folder.
Navigate to the /bin/release folder.
Go to NuGet.org in a browser and get publication key – copy it to clipboard.
In terminal, run dotnet nuget push -s https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/package -k [key] Ardalis.GuardClauses.1.2.5.nupkg It will likely take several minutes for the new package to appear in nuget.
This should automatically produce a new Release on GitHub as well.
That should do it. You can also blog/tweet about the new release so people know about it.

"Note the Orwellian form of it (a lie is a truth; we do not censor but you can not write it!)"
Incredibly Merck formula and Patent rights* for CQ10 were sold to the Japanese circa 1958 as this would compete with their blockbuster drug Diuril. Fortunately, the Japanese were able to synthesize large quantities of this nutrient, where is it has been used for over 30 years as an effective treatment for heart disease.
Theheart.org, a large cardiology site that receives sponsorship from the drug industry, is generally a well-regarded source of information for health-care professionals. The editorial board lists 85 doctors in 19 countries. Three of the eight editors, including the editor-in-chief, have declared they own stock options in the website's parent company.
I am not an MD, but I run health-heart.org, one of the top "heart disease" sites (focusing on nutrition, health and heart disease: cause and prevention) you will find via Google. I also have four references to my name in the medical search engine, Medline. As such, I was granted access to the content of theheart.org and to its Forum, a kind of chat room. Ordinary people looking for heart disease, drug and device information regrettably are denied access to this site.
I contributed for some time to the Forum where doctors and other interested parties discuss problems and strategies. I pointed out things such as the benefits of omega-3 oils in the prevention of fatal irregular heart beat in a heart attack (and there is medical unanimity about this). Other points I raised were about the potentially enormous benefits of having low levels of a "blood toxin" we all have, an amino acid called homocysteine. Again, there is unanimity that the only treatment is a multiple-vitamin with high-dose B vitamins. So far so good.
My troubles started when I pointed out that cholesterol pills of the statin family (Lipitor, Zocor, Mevacor, Lescol, Pravachol, Crestor and the withdrawn Baycol) have nasty side-effects, such as faint or massive muscle pain, and that they have not been shown to prolong life in ordinary high-risk people, and may even cause cancer.
Let me explain: Statins are crow-bars in your cell machinery making a fundamental chemical called mevalonate. This chemical contributes to the production of about 2 grams of cholesterol your body needs each day for hormones, cell and brain function and digestive bile-acids. Moreover, other vital stuff made from mevalonate is also no longer made in the same (sufficient) quantities when statins are ingested. This list is very long and it includes the likely anti-cancer agent squalene and the vital anti-oxidant and energy producer CoQ10. Not enough CoQ10 and your heart, brain and nerve cells can die from lack of energy or they can mutate from lack of DNA protection.
The problem is that statin drugs lower your CoQ10 (one of the things that makes your "bad" LDL-cholesterol particle remain beneficial) as they do LDL. Blood is like homogenized milk; all the fatty stuff travels in little balls. While CoQ10 keeps it healthy, you can damage LDL and make it "bad" by having these droplets transport trans-fats, homocysteine or oxidized cholesterol from, for example, dried egg or milk powder.
If, for example, Lipitor, the worlds largest selling drug, lowers LDL by 40%, it also likely reduces your CoQ10, potentially resulting in muscle pain. For instance, a Canadian (but amazingly, not American) drug ads warn this CoQ10 reduction produced by statins may be harmful in heart failure (if not cancer as well). A large Italian study was conclusive about the huge benefit of supplemented CoQ10 in heart failure, eclipsing the action of any existing drug. Such supplementation may well resolve statin-produced muscle or joint pain.
Now, realize that you or the system spends about U.S.$1000 per year to be on a statin, and that the PROSPER trial found significantly more cancer in the statin group and that there are at least 3 reasons (squalene, CoQ10 and angiogenesis) why that might make biological sense.
Now lets get back to the fiasco at the Forum. Suddenly, one and then two of my postings on these issues disappeared and the editor at theheart.org sent me an e-mail, asking me to refrain from repeating my attacks on statins and the statin trials. He said the site welcomed a diversity of opinion, but contributors who repeated the same message in a number of different ways needed to be limited.
But then when I posted a critical reply to a person who I felt repeatedly argued in favor of the benefits of statins, and in this case, a newly approved statin, Crestor, I got booted from the Forum.
And so it happened. Information and access pulled. How often and how systematically is negative trial data cleansed from the pages of the health web sites that are trusted by many doctors?
Cardiologists, much like car mechanics [CARdiologists], need clean data and theheart.org certainly provides a great deal of information about drugs and devices in terms of "standards of care." But often this information is really about "standards of repair." Both doctors and mechanics are very useful in fixing damaged piping or replacing parts, but neither is very schooled in resolving the underlying problem of rusted or deposit-filled piping or arteries. Prevention, that is. One may by-pass or mechanically expand a local artery blockage but all agree, this is only symptom relief, not life extension. This is because the underlying processes continue.
Clearly, heart disease and other blood circulation conditions are not drug deficiency diseases as they are made to appear in some promotions and the science is solid that they may be caused, to a large extent, by low omega-3 and B-vitamin intakes and for which no prescriptions are needed. The fatty "blocking type" deposits in arteries appear to be unique to low-nutrient intake humans as this phenomenon is not described in free-living animals.
Mortality data is surprisingly hard to find in most statin studies. For example, the doubled mortality in the statin groups in the now 12-year old EXCEL study was so well hidden, that I might bet your MD could not find it. Similarly, the latest Lipitor studies were stopped while reporting cardiovascular benefit, yet clearly before they would potentially reconfirm a zero all-cause mortality benefit, or establish harm from CoQ10 lowering and from cancer.
Doctors need sound and varied information to make important judgments in order to fix and prevent. The way to a cardiologists heart, I know, is via the studies they should have read and may have missed. Medical web sites suppressing information and access can cause harm to the profession and to patients.

These cool gadgets are often created and devised to surpass what people call “regular technology” which is accessible at the time of their creation and growth. In spite the truth that cool devices are technologically useful, they have become more an expression of fashion and trend.
These are just a few of the actually cool devices of last yr but 2010 has been lucky in the infinite checklist of new innovative products that got here out. On this world of know-how, kids are simply attracted to gadgets and gizmos, which is certain to turn them into technogeeks.
Like another Smartphone, the entire gamut of messaging, e-mailing, notes, Web and third-occasion functions are satisfied by the Android phone. E-mail, fax, internet looking and chatting are additionally current in mobile phones. Individuals who want Smartphones and the most effective-in-line OS can go for an Android cellphone.

Of course our primary reason for visiting Peru was to see Machu Picchu but we were pleasantly surprised by the other things Peru had to offer. We started our journey in Lima but only stayed one night on our way to Cusco. I had no expectation for Cusco but found an old, interesting city with some great restaurants, loads of shopping and the “hub” for most other destinations in the area.
Cusco is at 3400m which is especially noticable after flying in from sea level. But we took it easy the first day, drank lots of coca tea, and felt pretty good the next day. Our objective for Cusco was to plan and book Machu Picchu which may sound straightforward, but if you’re not on a tour, is anything but. Everything is booked separately – from Cusco you must take a 20 min. taxi to the train depot, a 3 hr train into Aguas Callientes, then a 20 min. bus up to the ruins – and separately, you also need to purchase the national park ticket and all these things book up so we were lucky to get it coordinated for a next day departure (although we only got our second choice Macchu Picchu ticket). It’s pretty easy to just go to the ruins but we wanted to climb one of two mountains above the ruins: Huayna Picchu (1st choice) or Machu Picchu Mountain. A combined ticket for ruins + Machu Picchu Mountain was 148 soles in Peru (about $50).
I had heard some negative things about the town of Aguas Callientes and we thought about spending only one night there but we opted to chance it and stay for 2 nights and I’m glad we did. The town was enjoyable and except for the tourist food (bad and expensive), I enjoyed it.
We got up at 4am the next morning, queued up for the first set of buses which departed at 5:30am, arrived at the ruins before the doors opened at 6am. Getting up there early is definitely worth it. We took some great photos then headed to the mountain to start the climb before it got too hot. The mountain opened at 7am (although the door remained locked well beyond, so a bunch of us snuck around the gate to start the climb). We got to the top around 8:30am after a moderate climb. It was cloudy so we had to hang out at the top for awhile until the clouds finally cleared up around 9:30-10am. The view was stunning and gave context to the challenging location of the ruins.
After the mountain hike in the morning, we headed back down (China ring on finger) for lunch on the lawn overlooking the site, fighting off several banana-loving alpacas, then explored the ruins. It’s pretty open, with only the Intihuatana stone and center lawn roped off. We did our usual trick of downloading a guide on our iphones so we gave ourselves the tour as we walked around.
Back in Aguas Calientes, we celebrated with a great dinner of alpaca steak then turned in early as John was feeling a chest cold settling in. We took the train toward Cusco but instead of going all the way, we stopped at Ollantaytambo to see some more amazing ruins. It’s a small town with a lot of character and a dearth of tourists (our favorite combination) so we walked around, enjoyed a coffee and lunch before heading out.
We took a collectivo from here back to Cusco (about 90 minutes) for 10 soles ($3) each! We decided to treat ourselves and stay at a nice hotel for a couple nights near San Blas Cusco – easy walking distance from everything. Finally had some chicha morado with some very delicious alpaca burgers. Next day we planned our trip to Lake Titicaca staying in Puno.
Our choices for getting to Puno were – fly (too expensive), tourist bus (8-10 hrs) or public bus (6-8 hrs). We opted for tourist bus one way as it stopped throughout the journey at a few interesting places along the way. Then a one-way flight back to Lima. The drive was a great way to see the country side and parts of the country we otherwise would miss.
We arrived in Puno and explored the town, it’s pretty cute and about the same “feel” as Cusco although it’s a bit smaller. It’s hilly and centered around the lake bay. There are cute restaurants, vendors on the street and it’s bustling with more locals than tourists. We arrange a half day tour on the lake for the next day to visit Uros – a group of floating reed island villages.
The pre-Incan Uru people have lived in isolation on these reed islands for centuries to escape fighting on the main land. They evolved from boats to islands which house up to 8 families. There are 44 islands which were designed to be mobile – and all house high watch tours used for communication amongst islands and for defense. They need constant maintenance and when walking on it, you sink a little- more in some parts!
Back in Puno town, we enjoyed a great dinner across from this square featuring two traditional Peruvian dishes- Papa Rellena- stuffed peppers with beef, olives, spices and Aji de Gallina – a chicken yellow curry with rice.
The next day we flew from Juliaca (near Puno) to Lima to start our 3 days of flying to get to Galapagos!

Published May 16, 2012 @ 7:08 a.m.
Most areas of Texas received rainfall last week. Portions of South and West Texas received up to six inches of rain while other areas of the state observed scattered showers.
Small Grains: Hay production was in full swing around the state. A lot of wheat and oats were being green chopped or baled for hay. Many grain producers were harvesting or getting ready to harvest with several reporting above average yields. In the High Plains, irrigated wheat was in good condition, while dryland wheat remained in need of moisture. In parts of North Texas, small grain harvest was put on hold due to rain.
Row Crops: In parts of the Northern Plains, dry conditions prevented the planting of row crops, though many producers were busy with land preparations and chemical applications. Some were able to begin planting irrigated cotton and peanuts. In most other areas of the state, rainfall helped to improve the condition of corn, cotton, and sorghum and soybeans. Planting was temporarily halted in parts of Central Texas due to heavy rainfall. In parts of the Southern Plains, cool soil temperatures delayed planting and slowed crop progress.
Fruit, Vegetable, and Specialty Crops: In North and East Texas, peaches and pecans continued to progress well. Blueberry and blackberry condition was generally good with harvest approaching. In the Lower Valley, harvest of vegetables and melons slowed, and melons appeared to be in very good condition. Onion harvest was delayed in the Edwards Plateau and South Texas due to wet fields.
Livestock, Range, and Pasture: Range and pastureland remained dry in areas of the Plains. Supplemental feeding resumed. In East and South Texas, pastures and stock tanks benefited from rain showers. Some producers concerned with the threat of wildfire applied herbicides to control weed and brush growth. Horn flies on cattle were also becoming a problem. Shearing and marking of sheep was wrapping up as producers made plans to ship soon.
