Sacred Heart Pioneers (7-5, 3-2 NEC) vs. Binghamton Bearcats (0-10, 0-4 America East)
Tuesday, April 16th | 3:00 PM
Campus Field | Fairfield, Conn.
SHU All-Time Against Binghamton: 0-3
FAIRFIELD, Conn. – Fresh off one of the most-impressive wins in program history, the Sacred Heart men's lacrosse team wraps up play from Campus Field with Tuesday's non-conference matchup with Binghamton. The Pioneers (7-5, 3-2 NEC) are coming off the program's largest conference win in program history and their largest victory since the 2007 season as SHU knocked off Saint Joseph's, 19-4, at Campus Field on Saturday. Meeting the Bearcats for the first since 2014, the Pioneers look to break through as SHU comes in with an 0-3 all-time record against Binghamton.
SHU dominated the action from start to finish, toppling the Hawks 19-4 in a 15-goal victory from Campus Field. On a day where the Pioneers held the Hawks scoreless for 32:18 straight minutes and outscored SJU 14-1 across the final 47:02 of play. This marks the largest conference win in program history, besting a previous 18-4 win over Wagner on April 2, 2011. Meanwhile, SHU's 19 goals scored set a new season-high (previous highest was in a 18-11 win over Furman) while the total stands as the Pioneers' second-most goals scored in an NEC game in program history. Brooks Dutton spearheaded a tremendous defensive effort, notching 13 saves while allowing a career-low four goals.
Despite trailing by two at the half, SHU used a dominating 6-1 third quarter advantage to post a crucial 11-8 road win over Bryant (4/6). The win snapped a two-game NEC losing skid for SHU and marked the first time in program history that the Pioneers have defeated perennial league power Bryant. Prior to the victory, SHU had gone 0-12 all-time against the Bulldogs and were outscored 154-79 (-75) in those 12 prior meetings. After not scoring for 20:55 straight minutes, SHU broke out with a six-goal third quarter, highlighted by a 4-0 run to end the period that saw all momentum swing in favor of the road side. Joe Saggese (two goals, two assists) led a balanced Pioneer offense that saw eight different players score a goal while five notched at least two points in the win.
Mount St. Mary's jumped out to a 5-0 lead and never looked back as SHU suffered a 14-10 setback (3/30) against the Mountaineers in their first NEC road game of the season. Trying to dig out of a five-goal deficit, the Pioneers got to within a 10-8 margin with 13:34 remaining and later closed the gap to 12-10 with just over five minutes left but that was as close as SHU would get for the remainder of play. Six different Pioneers scored in the loss, led by Joe Saggese who pumped in three while Alex Weiss and Logan Liljeberg added two apiece. Joseph CIpoletti produced a stellar effort on the defensive end, scooping up a career-high eight ground balls while matching his career-high with five caused turnovers.
A clash between two Top 10 scoring offenses in the nation heading into their contest (3/23) was anything but what fans expected. Both defenses shined, each holding the opposition to a season-low in goals scored but it was the Statesmen who made the key plays when it mattered most down the stretch to pull out the one-goal win. SHU was held scoreless for 22:37 consecutive minutes in the second half but still nearly struck for a game-tying goal in the closing seconds only to be denied yet again by the stellar play of Hobart goalkeeper Sam Lucchesi who made 20 saves on the day. This snapped a four-game win streak for SHU, which matched their Division I single-season program record while it marked the first time in 2019 that the Pioneers who held to a single-digit goal total. Brooks Dutton played great in the cage for the Pioneers, matching his season-high with 17 seasons while his .630 save percentage on the day set a new season-best.
A resounding start to the conference slate for SHU saw the Pioneers take down the defending NEC Champion Robert Morris, 18-16, from Campus Field (3/16). Four different Pioneers recorded hat tricks on the day (Tuttle 4, Saggese 3, O'Reilly 3, Weiss 3) as SHU snapped a three-game losing streak against the Colonials. The 18-goal total is the most goals scored in an NEC game for SHU since a 21-8 win at Wagner back on April 6, 2013. This also marks the first time SHU won a conference opener since the 2015 campaign while it also breaks a two-game home losing streak in the 2019 season.
A disappointing February that saw SHU go 1-3, including an 0-2 start at home, is deep in the past as the Pioneers won three straight non-conference road games to start the month of March. The season started with a close 13-10 loss at nationally-ranked Georgetown before the first win of the season came in a 18-11 offensive shootout against Furman. After a pair of home losses to Boston Univ. (16-11) and Fairfield (12-11), the Pioneers found their form away from Campus Field with an emphatic 17-16 road win over Providence that saw SHU erase a 10-5 halftime deficit. The strong run of play continued with a 12-11 overtime win at America East power Stony Brook followed by a come-from-behind 16-12 road win at Hartford last Saturday.
With more than half of the regular season completed, the Pioneers are well on their way to putting together one of the greatest single-season road records in program history. The Pioneers' four road wins is already tied for the most wins away from home in a single-season in the program's Div. I history (since 2000). SHU's has won four road games in a season twice before (most-recently in 2017) and the Pioneers have at least one away game remaining in their 2019 slate. The single-season program record for road wins is seven, which came in the Pioneers' 13-win 1996 season.
Since joining the Northeast Conference in 2010, the Pioneers have advanced to the NEC Tournament four times in nine seasons including four of the last six seasons and the last two in-a-row. Over the last three seasons (since 2017), the Pioneers are 10-7 in NEC play while owning a combined mark of 6-3 in conference games played at Campus Field.
The Pioneers were picked to finish third in the 2019 Northeast Conference Preseason Poll, as announced in late January, which stands as the highest preseason ranking SHU has ever garnered since the league's founding in 2010. Owning a mark of 3-3 in the NEC last season, the Pioneers earned a spot in the NEC Tournament in back-to-back seasons for the first time and fourth time overall. The seven-win season also tied for the third-most wins for the Pioneers since SHU joined the Division I level in 2000.
Through 12 games in 2019, the Pioneers are averaging 13.50 goals per game to give SHU the 11th-ranked scoring offense in the nation. SHU scored double-digit goals in eight straight games to start the season and have reached the 10-goals scored mark in 11-of-12 games in 2019. In the seven Pioneer victories this season, SHU is averaging an impressive 15.86 goals per game. Leading the charge offensively is the dynamic senior tandem of Joe Saggese (58P, 36G, 22A) and Max Tuttle (44P, 31G, 13A) who combine for 102 points (8.5 per game) through 12 games this season.
A balanced offense has been the Pioneers' biggest strength all season long and the goals have come from numerous sources as eight SHU players have tallied 10+ goals through 12 games. That total already signals a program record as SHU's previous highest total of double-digit goal scorers in a single-season was six (accomplished six times, most-recently in 2017). Joe Saggese (36), Max Tuttle (31), Connor O'Reilly (17), Alex Weiss (15), Logan Liljeberg (14), Drew Edwards (11), Reed Avveduti (10) and Jaden Walcot (10) have all reached 10+ goal totals and have combined for 144 of the Pioneers' total 162 goals scored this season.
The 2019 Major League Lacrosse Draft was a record-breaking night for the SHU men's lacrosse program as three current players – Max Tuttle (1st round, sixth overall, Denver Outlaws), Joe Saggese (5th round, 44th overall, Dallas Rattlers) and Landon Kramer (7th round, 62nd overall, Dallas Rattlers) – were drafted into the MLL. Prior to the 2019 Draft, SHU had three total players drafted into the MLL in the program's history (Brian Masi 2017, Tim Katz 2010 and Tony Tanzi 2008) and doubled that total in one MLL draft alone. Going in the first round (sixth overall) to the reigning MLL Champion Denver Outlaws, Tuttle became the program's first-ever first round pick and the highest overall pick in program history.
2019 Stats: 44 points, 31 goals, 13 assists, 47 ground balls in 12 games
Career Stats: 184 points, 126 goals, 58 assists, 128 ground balls in 58 games
Fresh off earning an Inside Lacrosse Midseason All-American Second Team nod, Tuttle currently sits behind teammate Joe Saggese (189) and Dave Root '96 (194) for the all-time SHU lead in career points (184) while ranking second in goals (126) and fourth in assists (58). One of the greatest players in program history, Tuttle recently passed Chris Lukowski '99 on the all-time points list at SHU and is just four goals away from the all-time goal record at SHU.
2019 Stats: 58 points, 36 goals, 22 assists, 30 ground balls in 12 games
Career Stats: 189 points, 118 goals, 71 assists, 87 ground balls in 56 games
Saggese recently passed Tuttle for second place on SHU's all-time career points record with 189 while also sitting third all-time in goals (118) and third in assists (71). Saggese scored five goals in a 16-12 win at Hartford to become the fifth Pioneer in program history to score 100 career goals. Off to a fast start in 2019, Saggese leads the team with 58 points this season and has gone for at least five points in seven-of-12 games in 2019. He leads the NEC in points (58) while sitting tied for first in goals (36) and tied for second in assists (22). Owner of the fourth-longest active point streak in the nation (43 games), his 4.83 points per game sit first in the NEC and 13th in the nation while he is currently on-pace to break the SHU Div. I single-season points record (Tuttle's 64 in 2018).
2019 Stats: 25 caused turnovers, 24 ground balls, three points (two goals, one assist) in 11 games
Career Stats: 38 caused turnovers, 50 ground balls, 17 points (six goals, 11 assists) in 45 games
Versatility has been key throughout Kramer's four-year career as a Pioneer, as he shifted from attacking midfield to a more defensive position late in his SHU career. Through 11 appearances in 2019, Kramer has 25 caused turnovers to go along with 24 ground balls. His 25 caused turnovers are tied for the ninth-highest total of any player in the country while he ranks sixth in the country in caused turnovers per game (2.27). He set a career-high with six caused turnovers against Fairfield (2/23) and recent tallied five caused turnovers in a road win over Hartford (3/9).
2019 Stats: 29 caused turnovers, 49 ground balls, three points (one goal, two assists) in 10 games
Career Stats: 60 caused turnovers, 98 ground balls, nine points (two goals, seven assists) in 47 games
A dynamic defender, Cipoletti is coming off a breakthrough junior campaign in which he led the team with 24 caused turnovers to go along with 40 ground balls and six points. Cipoletti's playing time has increased incrementally throughout his four-year career as a Pioneer and he's saving his best for last as he currently leads the team in ground balls per game (4.90, 43rd in the nation) and is excelling with 2.90 caused turnovers per game which ranks second in the nation. Cipoletti's 29 caused turnovers in 10 games this season leads the team and NEC, giving the Pioneers two players ranked Top 10 in the country in that stat category. His 60 career caused turnovers rank fourth all-time at SHU.
2019 Stats: 7-5 record, 11.94 GAA, 49.8 save percentage, 141 saves in 713:25 minutes across 12 games
Career Stats: 22-16 record, 11.07 GAA, 49.5 save percentage, 410 saves in 2271:30 minutes across 40 games
With nearly three seasons seasons under his belt, junior goalkeeper Brooks Dutton has a strong chance to go down as one of the best statistical goalkeepers in program history. With 22 career wins, Dutton is a near-lock to pass Matt McGreevy '98 (25 career wins) as the winningest goalkeeper in program history. In addition, Dutton already ranks fifth all-time at SHU with 410 career saves and currently owns the fifth-best career goals-against average at 11.07. Dutton recently posted his best game of the season, notching 13 saves while allowing a career-low four goals as he spearheaded a tremendous defensive effort in a 19-4 home win over Saint Joseph's. His .765 save percentage on the day also set a new career-high for the junior.

I received a Shark Rocket Complete with DuoClean Technology in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
I have had many different vacuums throughout my life, all of them claiming to be the most versatile and most technologically advanced. They all claim that they are ultra light and will pick up even the most stuck on particles – on all floor types. All of them came with so many attachments and I always wondered…
What are all of those Vacuum Attachments for?
There are so many different things to clean in a home and yet it always seemed like a vacuum came with too many attachments. I knew there were areas in my home that were not getting the deep clean they probably needed but I wasn't quite sure how to tackle those jobs until I figured out how to implement the many vacuum attachments.
Every vacuum seems to come with different attachments and I really don't know what they are actually called so I am going to do what I do with people I meet, give each one a nickname.
The Flat Ended Squeegie– One which is best for curtains and other fabrics you don't want to suck into the main base of the vacuum. It is quite challenging to vacuum curtains and almost always ends in a battle of tug o war but when I use this attachment, it makes cleaning the curtains easy.
The Rectangle Hair Brush– I love the bristles on this one, they are perfect for fitting into spaces that the rest of the attachments could never get into. The bristles slide in between vents so easily that I am able to get the caked on dust out of there, finally!
The Verticle Hairbrush– This attachment is much like the rectangle hairbrush but it allows you to clean in spaces that are as oddly shaped as it is like small shelves and woodwork.
The Motorized Brush- This one is pretty amazing! It allows you to clean upholstery that even has caked on dog hair, trust me I put it to the test! It is the perfect attachment for carpeted stairs and furniture that you reluctantly share with your hairy pets.
Being able to lift the canister off of the base of the vacuum allows you to reach high places with ease. There are so many different things you can do with all of these attachments.
Some of the ways to cut cleaning time in half and take advantage of the many uses of your vacuum attachments is to try out new ways to use each vacuum attachment.
Try using the vacuum attachments in more unconventional ways and you may be able to cut your cleaning time in half, try tackling some of these projects using your vacuum attachments.
- Furniture
- Curtains
- Crown Molding
- Trim
- Cabinet Tops
- Fan Blades
- Woodwork
- Bookcases
- Stairs
- Vents
- Screens
- Car
- Mattress
- Blinds
When cleaning carpet or hardwood the Shark Rocket Complete with DuoClean Technology makes every job easier.
It is so lightweight my daughter is able to push it around with ease. It reminds me of a self propelled lawn mower because it practically pushes itself through my home.
It's nice when you are able to enlist the help of your kids to clean up around the house. It teaches them responsibility and it is nice to have some help once in a while.
I love how lightweight it is and I especially like the ability to clean surfaces I have not been able to clean since I moved into this house.
I couldn't believe how many cobwebs there were in the corners of the ceiling but once that bright light from the Shark Rocket Complete with DuoClean Technology lit up my living room I was able to give it a good clean.
Have you found any unconventional ways to use your vacuum attachments that have helped give your home a deep clean?

An interesting cruise for less than US$100 per night for 34 nights (obstructed view cabin). Ft. Lauderdale-Panama Canal-Limon (Puerto Rico)-Guajaquil (Ecuador) - Lima (Peru) - Easter Island (Chile) - Pitcairn (British) - Papeete (Tahiti) - Auckland (N.Z.) - Burnie (Tasmania) - Sydney (Australia). Taxi from Fort Lauderdale airport to ship is US$20. The only problem is the free shuttle dumps you at a different terminal to yours. A clean ship built for 700 pax. max. and because of the low number of passengers on board a friendly atmosphere develops and one gets to know the different nationalities and passengers meet on the same tables in the restaurants and get to know one another. The itinerary mentions equator and dateline crossings, which hides the fact of many days at sea and which are not really destinations but at least the King Neptune party breaks up the days at sea. Pitcairn was not a destination but was truthfully advertised as a cruise past and islanders came on board to sell honey, souvenirs and stamps and one could meet relatives of the mutineer Fletcher Christian. But what nearly led to mutiny amongst the passengers was the disaster of not getting off the ship at the mysterious Easter Islands. This led to far too many days at sea between Lima and Papeete (Tahiti). One must assume many bookings on this Pacific Princess world cruise were due to the magic that Easter Island evokes. But it is a fact that only one in four ships can berth due to swell (Source: National Geographic) and had that fact been made available in the Princess literature, then passengers would have been more understanding of the possibility of disappointment. A suggestion would be to nominate an alternative, like Bora Bora to break the many sea days. Those of us craning our necks to see the Moais (stone statues) of Easter Island at the railings on deck 9 also missed the commentary from the bridge, which apparently pointed out the locations and names of the various platforms (Ahus). As compensation the ship steamed around the island. There must have been communication problems with the outside speakers close to the railings. And to add salt to the wounds we all missed out on the Tapati Rapa Nui festival, which lasts for 14 days on the island at the beginning of February when we were there. If one does not mind non-working air-conditioning and older busses, then independent travel can make the excursion costs drop by half compared to what Princess charges and shuttle busses from Princess from the ship sometimes drop passengers off nowhere near tourist bureaus, where further excursions can be booked. The entertainment on Pacific Princess was commendable, the library well-stocked, the staff courteous and helpful, cooking and dancing classes, trivia challenges, films, lectures by experts, like the talk about the Concorde by a retired Concorde pilot Captain Les Evans filled the sea days. Every interest is catered for and Christian and Jewish mass is conducted. The food was simply overwhelming in its variety, especially during Sunday brunch at sea. Prepared by internationally well-known chefs the food included all known sea foods plus escargot, pheasant, etc. and international themes ensured every nationality did not have to miss out on their favourite foods. The patisserie section with its specialities like Sacher Torte and Linzer Torte was just too tempting. Read Less

6 Steps to Actually Make Your Dreams Come True
"If you can dream it, you can do it. The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing. All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them." – Walt Disney
[Don't worry. This isn't an ethereal, head-in-the clouds approach to following your dreams. I'll offer real, practical advice that you can put to work today.]
Dreaming is great. It should never be stifled, always encouraged. But by itself, it's not enough. If you really want your dreams to come true, you need a plan. Here are six steps you can take to actually make your dreams come true.
- Define. Then Commit
This is not as complicated as we make it. You don't need to define your life purpose and what every day will look like from here on out. Instead, start with what you love. It really is that simple. What makes you happy? What do you love to do? What makes you come alive? What do you sit and think about the most? Take that idea and start to define it. The dream may change slightly as time goes on, but for now define it as best you can. Gary Vaynerchuk, for instance, is dead set on buying the New York Jets one day. That's his dream. It's huge and may seem impossible right now, but it's defined. (By the way, he's worth between $10 – $20 million right now. The Jets are worth about $1.3 billion) The more clearly you can define your dream, the more likely it is you will achieve it. With a distinct, measurable goal you know exactly what you're after, then you can take very intentional, focused action.
- Take action. Every. Day.
This may be the most important thing you can do when going after a huge dream. Most people never move from dreaming to doing. Once you've defined your dream, taking action is easier. You'll experience a sort of euphoria the first couple of days you do this. Then the enthusiasm starts to wear off. It's like starting a plan to lose weight or trying to write a book. It's a big undertaking that takes continual effort day in and day out. It'll get hard. It won't always be fun. But it's the necessary process to bring a dream to life. Buying the Jets takes a $1 billion+. Gary Vaynerchuk is doing little things every day to grow his wealth. Do something every day to get closer. Every. Day.
- Love yourself.
This is an often overlooked step in the pursuit of dreams. You are an amazing person with unlimited potential. Treat yourself like you deserve to achieve your dream. Be positive. Don't play the victim. You are good. You are capable. You are loved. It's amazing how the mind opens up – creativity, energy, attitude, etc. – when you love yourself.
- Get rid of fear.
You will always be able to think of plenty of reason why it won't work. Fear tries to paralyze us in our pursuit of reaching our dreams. Most of the fears that hold us back are hidden well beneath the surface. We may not even know they are there, but they call the shots. They hold us back. They make us shoot way lower than what's possible. Fear can take many shapes like fear of failure or fear of what people think. Fear is often what's driving our common excuses. "I don't have time right now." "I don't have the money right now." "I'm not good enough yet." Get rid of all your excuses. This may sound crazy, but go after your fears, find out what they are…hunt them down. Once you expose them, you can get rid of them. For an amazing strategy to do this I recommend #Fearhunters by Noah Elias. It will change everything for you.
- Treat little decisions like big ones.
Little steps taken over a long period of time make a huge difference. It's easy to look at our dreams and try to figure out how to jump from step one to step ten in one jump – how to bring the future, fully completed version of our dream into the present. That never works out so well and can be super discouraging. Instead, figure out what you can do today to move a little closer to your dream than you were yesterday. If you want to be a writer like J. K. Rowling, don't try to write an entire book series today, just write one page a day. If you want to be the next Walt Disney, like Noah Elias wants to be, don't take out a huge loan to build a movie and animation studio, start by creating one art piece at a time. Walt drew a little cartoon mouse one day. The he kept drawing and kept growing. The little things also include habits. If you have tons of free time, use it to create or learn something that brings you closer to your dream.
- Actually believe that your dreams are fighting to become a reality.
This isn't some hokey mystic concept. Your dreams do want to become a reality. Once you start really pursuing them with all your heart, you'll notice that some things just happen to help you reach them. J. K. Rowling was rejected by 12 publishing companies before someone paved the way. That someone was an eight-year-old girl who happened to be the daughter of the president of a publishing company. Harrison Ford couldn't land any good acting jobs so he took up carpentry. One day he was called to install cabinets for George Lucas. We all know how that went. There are a TON of stories like these. It's hard to explain, but just believe that your dreams are fighting to come true. Things will start falling into place if you'll be persistent.
Our dreams really can become a reality if we have the courage to pursue them. It'll take a lot of work. You'll get tired. You'll want to quit and go after something easier until the "time is right". But that time will never come. Be courageous and start today. Then just keep going. Keep moving forward one step at a time.
"…but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible." – T. E Lawrence

-Know when to fold´em!
Intelligence.. recent events has me brooding over the importance of this warfare tool..
And I realized that it is most important in all things,
knowing what goes on.
"It is a common mistake in going to war to begin at the wrong end, to act first, and wait for disasters to discuss the matter."
- Thucydides
Firsly, I´ve begun to play a little good ol´ Poker while my ships are being refitted or repaired..
Most relaxing to be chatting with some other capsuleers and risking my hard-earned ISK in other things then my ships.
And it is most important to know your fellow players, how they play, what bluffs might work and what cards might come up.. the more intelligence you possess the better choices you can make.
Secondly, when I need to sit at a safespot and wait out a Criminal countdown, I´ve also begun playing an old game on my ships computers "Starcraft"
Not played in a while so I am a little rusty, but my lack of experience I make up with keeping good tabs on my enemies.. It is much easier to fight on my terms then on his.
So once again good intelligence helps profoundly.
Sadly the old AI of that game is cheating.. damn maphacker!
Thirdly, most importantly, the other day I joined a fleet camping at a gate in a system not far away.
I wont get into details as there might be sensitive information, and also I was just a soldier, so I never understood exactly what went on.
But I was thoroughly impressed by our FC´s (Fleet Commander) skills and methods:
The voice-comms were kept to a minimum to ensure that valuable information got through unhindered.
He had scouts in all adjoining systems, and could separate possible threats quickly as intel was passed to him of shiptypes and corp-affiliations.
A fleet soon formed in a system ahead of us, and he knew always their members and shiptypes.
As half of it disappeared we knew they were after us, but up to something, and yes.. our scouts behind us soon relayed they were sneaking up the rear.
I dont know if they thought they would surprise us, that we did not know they were coming.. that we did not notice they popped up on local comms.. that we did not see their scan-probes..
But we did, and were never in any danger.
He had us aligned to warp-out spots, but still sitting still.
We could have moved to safety long before their "ambush" came but I guess he wanted to tease them.. because just as they made their move, we were gone.
Initially I had been somewhat nervous of such gatecamps, as I have to put such a big and costly ship on the line, but when certain FC´s are in charge, I am never worried.
And, on the topic of poker and FC´s, here is my re-make of:
"The Gambler" (Earthen singer K. Rogers)
On a cold space evenin, in a freighter bound for low-sec,
I met up with an FC; we were too tired to sleep.
So we took turns a-starin, out the window at the darkness,
til boredom overtook us, and he began to speak.
He said, son, Ive made a life, out of leadin fleet engagements
And knowin what their ships were, by the intel from my scouts.
So if you dont mind my sayin, I can see youre out of Iskies
For a taste of your long-limb roes, Ill give you some advice.
You got to know when to hold at the gate, know how to spot a bait.
Know how to get away, and know when to flee.
You never count your troopers, when youre engaged in a battle
Therell be time enough for countin, when the fightins done.
Now every FC knows, that the secret to survivin
Is knowin who to sacrifice, and knowing who to keep.
cuz there has to be a winner, and there has to be a loser
And the best that you can hope for, is to die in your sleep.
So keep your scanner open, and let a word not be spoken
have eyes on both front and back, and look for combat probes.
You will never loose a battle, and you will rule on the killboards
if you know your own forces, and what your enemies do.
You got to know when to hold the gate, know how to spot a bait.
Know how to get away, and know when to flee.
You never count your troopers, when youre engaged in a battle
Therell be time enough for countin, when the fightins done.
"When generals cannot assess opponents, clash with much greater numbers or more powerful forces and do not understand the level of skill of their own soldiers, they are beaten."
-Sun Tzu

Hello, I'm Mildred Yulo-Gonzales and I'm a devoted wife to Raffy and doting mother to three adorable children, Tessa, Gregory, and Bryan. I am proud to say that I had reached a level of bliss with the domestic life I have created, until two years ago when my youngest son, Bryan, told me, "Mama, I'm gay." It's a whole new ballgame being a parent to a gay son but I try my best to make it work. His dad and I always encouraged him to be the person that he wants to be so he is now "working" as a styling intern for a new fashion blog. It is called Style Bitch. Needless to say, we worry.
Anyway, Bry's decision to pursue a career in the "arts" actually unleashed a creative hunger inside of me. I am Vice President for Sales to a top insurance firm in the day, but now, I have more to say, more to share. So I have decided to become an online columnist for TEAM. Now, now, lower your eyebrows. Before you accuse me of being yet another product of this tita phenomenon, I am not your typical tita from New Manila. I have opinions—opinions that matter. (Let me tell you: I was once a writer for our school paper in Maryknoll—and that one time was so fulfilling.)
So in this column, my first foray in this changing media landscape, I will discuss something that I have been obsessed about for the past year: Netflix. The online streaming service has become the glue that holds our family together, and recently, Bryan and I came across this documentary, Tickled. Let me tell you: it's one of the most horrific things I have ever watched. It is far scarier than those Paranormal Activity films or any Star Cinema comedy starring Vice Ganda.
Tickled is a documentary about "competitive endurance tickling," an activity where gwapo white men, most of them blond, are restrained to a bed and tickled for as long as they can take it. It sounds playful and stupid enough that when a television reporter from New Zealand came across it, he featured it in his local TV show, which is like Mga Kuwento ni Marc Logan but with lighthearted brevity and actual research. Let me tell you, the television reporter went all Nancy Drew on this underground tickling thing, leading him to open a Pandora's Box of blackmail, extortion, and the sleaziest looking D.O.M. (Dirty Old Mastermind) you will ever lay your eyes on. This villain is like someone who subscribes to FHM just for show but secretly goes to gay spas for happy endings. (Please, I am aware of those things.) Tickled is thrilling and disturbing stuff that you cannot invent and you'd have to watch to believe.
After watching Tickled, I needed some mother-son debriefing with Bryan. I asked him, "Bry, is that what gay men are into? Is that what's considered kinky nowadays?" He stared at me with a look that says "Was I really birthed by this woman?" So before he could muster anything, I added, "Yes, you were and I did not put you through school to not be able to converse with your own mother." You see, I am no prude and I am well aware of fetishes like role playing and those S&M things, but Bry tells me those things are basic.
Bryan tells me he doesn't feel comfortable discussing sex and fetishes with his mother, even after I threatened to tell his friends that he screams like an eight year-old girl every time he sees James Reid's Century Tuna commercial. So I did my own research online. Let me tell you, my confusion with everything I read (anal beads, snow blowing, bukkakes, among others) made me finish half a bottle of red. I have asked people from TEAM if pegging is really something that will keep my marriage alive.
As a mom who wants to understand her gay son, I've realized that fetishes are maybe not the most ideal topic of conversation for our bonding moments. Thankfully, Netflix has a laundry list of gay content that I have since added to My List – The Bridesgroom, Holding the Man, and this series called RuPaul's Drag Race. Its synopsis describes it as one part America's Next Top Model and two parts fabulous. Now that sounds like bliss.

Today is Thanksgiving in the US. It's my favorite holiday, as all my relatives will gather in my mother's house and feast for hours. It truly is a nice way to think about the previous 12 months and realize what indeed you are thankful for. Here in Beijing, I'm thankful that I found the wonderful Schoolhouse restaurant in Mutianyu. I'm going there on Saturday for their annual Thanksgiving meal.
I'm also very thankful for my good health, and I am reminded of that blessing every time I walk into my clinic. And while we hear a lot of negative health stories coming from the US, it's nice to take a step back and realize that health both in the US and the world is far better than it was a few decades ago. The Wall Street Journal has a nice article below discussing these 20 major advances: U.S. Health Statistics Improve – WSJ.com.

It seemed to him that in Annawadi, fortunes derived not just from what people did, or how well they did it, but from the accidents and catastrophes they dodged. A decent life was the train that hadn't hit you, the slumlord you hadn't offended, the malaria you hadn't caught. – from Behind the Beautiful Forevers –
Author Katherine Boo spent four years following the individual lives of people living in the Annawadi settlement – an Indian slum which sits near the Mumbai airport and in the shadow of opulent buildings where the wealthy regularly live their lives.
The airport people had erected tall, gleaming aluminum fences on the side of the slum that most drivers passed before turning into the international terminal. Drivers approaching the terminal from the other direction would see only a concrete wall covered with sunshine-yellow advertisement. The ads were for Italianate floor tiles, and the corporate slogan ran the wall's length: BEAUTIFUL, FOREVER BEAUTIFUL, FOREVER BEAUTIFUL, FOREVER. – from Behind The Beautiful Forevers, page 37 –
The contrast between the wealthy and the poor in India is stark and Boo's wish was to document "the distribution of opportunity in a fast-changing country." Does she do that? Yes. But she also examines the lives of women in poverty, the effect of corruption on disenfranchised people, the idea of justice and equality, the power of hope even when hope seems elusive, and the struggle to be "good" in the face of unrelenting, heartbreaking poverty.
Behind The Beautiful Forevers reads like a novel, and perhaps it would be easier to read it if one believed the "characters" between the pages were fictional rather than real. There is Abdul, a Muslim teenager whose organizational skills allow him to be one of the more successful garbage sorters in the community; and the politically savvy Asha, a forty year old mother who sells her body and bargains her morals to make a better life for her daughter; and Kalu, a teenager who flirts with drugs and steals scrap metal on his road to finding the "good life"; and Sunil, a boy who seems to have stopped growing while he battles rats, gangs of bigger boys, and fate while he searches for garbage to sell; and Meena, a young woman whose future is so bleak that death is more preferable; and finally Fatima, the "one leg," whose spite costs her not only her very life, but the lives of her closest neighbors. There are others, of course, all battling to survive in a world we can only imagine and even then, we fall short.
Somehow in this book about desperation and poverty, Boo manages to carve out some hope between the pages. Sunil regularly climbs to the top of a roof four stories above the ground where he enjoys the exhilarating vista of open space. It is here he watches the planes leave the ground and soar into the sky, where he can view the rich people arriving at and leaving the terminal. It is here, high above the reality of his world, where Sunil can imagine himself becoming "a middle something."
Sunil thought that he, too, had a life. A bad life, certainly – the kind that could be ended as Kalu's had been and then forgotten, because it made no difference to the people who lived in the overcity. But something he'd come to realize on the roof, leaning out, thinking about what would happen if he leaned too far, was that a boy's life could still matter to himself. – from Behind the Beautiful Forevers, page 199 –
Katherine Boo's remarkable book is sad. It is heartbreaking. It pulls the reader up short, has her gasping for breath as she immerses herself into the world of these survivors. Boo writes: "If the house is crooked and crumbling, and the land on which it sits uneven, is it possible to make anything lie straight?" And this is, perhaps, the central question posed in Behind The Beautiful Forevers. The world feels broken in the Annawadi slum, and yet the luminous lives of its inhabitants offer some hope for answers.
Katherine Boo offers us a glimpse into inequality and poverty. It is a personal glimpse, an unforgettable one. But it is not an isolated one. All over the world the disenfranchised struggle to not only survive, but to elevate their lives. They fight against government corruption, unfair justice systems, and cultures which divide rather than unite people. Behind the Beautiful Forevers is a reminder that a slum is not just a slum – it is a community of people just like ourselves only with less opportunity.
Pulitzer Prize winning author Katherine Boo snagged the National Book Award and was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award for Behind the Beautiful Forevers. This is a powerful, must read book and one I highly recommend.

How to Save Edited RAW Files in Digital Photo Professional on Your Canon EOS 6D
Digital Photo Professional doesn't store changes you've made to RAW files after you edit and close the application on your EOS 6D. You'll need to save the changes by saving the image in another file format. When you launch Digital Photo Professional again, you can apply different edits to the RAW file and save the image with the new changes using a different filename. To save your edited work:
With the image you just edited still selected, choose File→Convert and Save.
The Convert and Save dialog box appears.
Enter a filename and location for the edited image.
If desired, you can use the same filename. The file format in which you can save the image won't overwrite the RAW file. You can save the new file in the same folder or create a new folder in which to store your edited images.
Choose a file type.
You can save the file in any of the following formats:
Exif-JPEG: Saves the edited image as a JPEG file.
Exif-TIFF (8Bit): Saves the edited image as an 8-bit TIFF file.
TIFF (16Bit): Saves the edited image as a 16-bit TIFF file. The file size of this format is considerably larger than the 8-bit TIFF format, but you have more information to work with if you edit the image in an application like Photoshop.
Exif-TIFF (8Bit) + Exif-JPEG: Saves an 8-bit TIFF file and a JPEG file.
TIFF (16Bit) + Exif-JPEG: Saves a 16-bit TIFF file and an 8-bit JPEG file.
If you choose a JPEG option, you can specify the quality.
Accept the default JPEG quality of 10 or drag the slider to specify a different quality.
The default setting of 10 produces a high-quality image at the expense of a large file size. If you specify a lower quality, the image quality is poorer and the file size is smaller. When you specify a lower quality, Digital Photo Professional compresses the file and data is lost.
Accept the default resolution of 350 dpi (dots per inch) or enter a different resolution.
With most printers, you can get by with a resolution of 300 dpi.
Accept the default option to embed the ICC (International Color Consortium) profile or click the check box to reject the option.
Your best option is to embed the profile with the image.
(Optional) Select the Resize check box.
If you use this option, the Width and Height text boxes appear with the current dimensions of the image. The Lock Aspect Ratio check box is selected by default. If you deselect this option and change one value, the other value won't change and the image won't look right.
(Optional) Enter a new value for width or height.
When you enter one value, Digital Photo Professional does the math and supplies the other value as long as you enable the Lock Aspect Ratio option. (You did enable it, didn't you?)
Click Save.
Your changes to the image(s) are saved.

Textbook Rentals
Q: How does the rental program work?
It's easy. You can shop online at our website or come into the store and select your textbooks for the term.
When purchasing your books, the cashier will tell you which books are available for rent and the pricing, giving you the option to either purchase or rent the book. If you select the rental option, you will be asked for some personal contact information along with a debit or credit card to secure the rental. At the end of the term, you return the book to the bookstore during finals week.
Q: Why should I rent from the bookstore versus going online?
The bookstore offers many advantages to you versus renting your textbook online including:
- You receive competitive pricing. Online is not necessarily a better price.
- You are assured the correct book based on the order received
directly from
the instructor.
- You do not have to wait for the book to be shipped to you.
- You do not have to pay shipping to receive or return the book.
- You will receive top-notch customer service.
Q: What if I do not return the book?
If the book is not returned, your credit card will be charged for the used retail price of the book, plus a $25 penalty if applicable.
Q: What if I decide I want to keep the book and use it for future reference?
You should inform the bookstore as soon as possible, so that we can attempt to find a workable solution.
Q: Why are not all books available for rental in the store?
Rental availability is based on the market value and national demand for the title. Not all books meet this criteria.
Q: Is renting the textbook a better deal than purchasing it?
We offer you the option of purchasing the textbook new or used or renting it. It is up to you to decide which option best meets your educational needs.
Q: Where do I return the book at the end of the term?
To any bookstore location, but preferably where you originally rented it.
Q: What if I drop the class or do not need the book once the course begins?
Our textbook rental program follows the same return policy as purchasing the textbook. You have until Friday of the first week of class, in most situations, to return your rental.
Q: Why do you need a credit or debit card now? Is it charged when I pick up the book?
The only charge associated with renting the textbook is the rental fee. Your card is not charged for any additional fees unless the book is not returned. We require you to use a credit or debit card to ensure that the textbook is returned.

Initiated in 1984 to recognize utility managers who serve smaller communities, the AMP Seven Hats Award is presented annually to an official in a community of less than 2,500 electric meters. Award winners show skill in seven areas: planning and design, administration, public relations, field supervision, accounting, personnel or employee direction, and community leadership.
Awards were also given to individuals and communities in the categories of electric system sustainability, finance, innovation, public power promotion, safety and system improvement.

In coming years, effective tax rates may reach 50, 60, even 70 percent. This will be no socialist paradise. It will be a national nightmare, because even with confiscatory tax rates, politicians will still have no choice but to chop Medicare and Medicaid—leaving tens of millions of people without adequate health care. Retirement ages will be raised well beyond 70. And if you are in the military, start looking for another career, because everything from our aircraft carrier fleet to the man on the beat is going to be mothballed.
Sound unbelievable?
Here it is: One in seven households is on food stamps. Another one in seven Americans receives or lives with someone who gets Medicare. More than one in seven households relies on Social Security. More than one in four has at least one person on Medicaid. One in 50 households has a member relying on unemployment benefits. Thousands more have members on disability.
Add it all up and 49.1 percent—almost half—of America lives in a household where at least one member receives some type of government benefit!
Did you get that? Roughly half of America is on the government dole. Many households receive more than one government handout.
Greek historian Alexander Tyler wrote: "A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy …."
The democratic process becomes one big race to vote for the politicians promising the biggest handouts. Consequently, government finances continue to erode under the pressure of fulfilling the hundreds of campaign promises necessary only to buy votes. A similar process occurs when spending bills are sent to the House and Senate. To secure the votes needed to pass legislation, each congressman and senator gets his own special spending project included in the bill, to curry his vote.
According to official government statistics, America's total unfunded liabilities (primarily the amount we have promised voters in Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare) is now over $61 trillion. But the actuaries at the cato Institute, using real-world accounting practices that the government demands businesses use, say the shortfall is actually closer to $119.5 trillion!
Meanwhile, America's total gdp (the value of all the goods and services produced in the entire country for the year) is only a little over $15 trillion.
USA Today reports that if the government were to actually try to balance its budget, the typical American household would have had to pay nearly allof its income in taxes! That is just to balance the budget, never mind paying down the debt.
Even if starting tomorrow America said it would spend no additional money beyond current outlays for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and so on—the nation is still on an inescapable trajectory toward bankruptcy.
America's national debt, not including retirement liabilities, has already passed our gdp. Once a nation's debt reaches 90 percent of gdp, the risk of total economic collapse skyrockets. That's what happened in Greece. It is happening in Spain now.
And if nothing is done, it will happen in America soon too.
America's debt to gdp ratio is now around 103 percent! The big expenses like ObamaCare haven't even begun to hit yet—and already the government is forced to borrow one out of every three dollars it spends. And of those borrowed dollars, last year about 40 percent were printed up out of thin air by the Federal Reserve because America couldn't find any borrowers to lend it money at current rates.
America faces a mathematically certain nightmare. Just like in Greece, our economy is growing too slowly and tax revenues do not get close to covering all our spending "needs." Programs will be cut. Austerity will come to America. The government will print money. But as sure as 1 plus 1 equals 2, economic collapse is coming to America. The only question is how soon.

Are You Suffering from Social Network Syndrome?
What are your thoughts about social network syndrome? Do you feel you have a good balance with how you utilize social media?
2 comments:
I actually like social media (I like to think I'm not crazy about it). I don't think it has replaced face to face at all for me, but it helps me stay more connected to people i wouldn't otherwise have time to. However, I laughed reading this article because I do occasionally compare myself and then realize how stupid it is. After going on a 12 day trip this summer, I was home for maybe 5 days before I was looking at pictures on facebook wondering why everyone was on vacation except me haha. I had to give myself a quick reality check there :)ReplyDelete
Thanks, Kelly! I wish more people would give themselves a reality check!ReplyDelete

Before the newest crop of smartphones hit the market this year, the Nokia N8 was considered among the top of the line models. Its shot at fame was all due to the 12MP camera with Carl Zeiss optics. It also came in an affordable package which drew a lot of customers towards it. It may have been overtaken by Nokia's own Lumia series at this time, but we decided to take a look at the N8 any way. Before we get going, here are some of the specifications:
- 3.5" display at a resolution of 640 x 360 pixels
- 680MHz ARM 11 single core processor
- 16GB storage expandable to 48GB via microSD
- Dedicated camera button
- HDMI port
- 12MP rear camera with Carl Zeiss, Tessar lens with 2x digital zoom
- VGA front facing camera
- 720P HD video recording at 25 frames per second with 3x digital zoom
- Operating System: Symbian^3
- Weight: 135g
- Battery capacity: 1200mAh
So it's not exactly quick compared to similarly optioned phones. You will notice significant lag even while trying to do the most mundane of tasks on the N8. Considering how quick the phones in the market are these days, it really feels like you could be doing something more worthwhile with your time. In the looks department, the N8 scores well. It is very similar to the Lumia series that Nokia has introduced. You also get a dedicated camera button to showcase the 12MP camera. Once again, we just wish it were a lot quicker than it is. Taking a quick photo isn't possible. It will take you at least 7 seconds to start up the camera and take your first shot. And that doesn't take into account the recovery time after snapping a picture before you can take the next one. Take away the speed factor, and the pictures are quite crisp and detailed. But compare it to the new camera in the Samsung Galaxy S III or the HTC One X, despite having a lower resolution, the images are clearer and colors more vibrant in the Samsung and HTC. Battery life is also lacking and we were barely able to get 6 hours on a complete charge with heavy use.
Symbian is an operating system that is definitely not for everyone. It lacks the flair and look of the iOS or Android operating systems. And it also loses out in the quickness factor. With Nokia marketing their newer phones with Windows Mobile, one has to wonder how much longer Symbian will be around. Yes you do have app support with Nokia store, but it isn't enough to keep up with the big guns. There are other Nokia phones we would rather have than this one, at the same price point.
Our Rating:
The Nokia N8 is currently on sale in India for about Rs. 19,000 (~$380).

The Crumbs Project, which provides 'training for independence' pre-employment programmes for mixed ability adults, was founded by Anne in 1997. The concept arose from home, when her daughter was diagnosed with Schizophrenia at age 17. During a time when long-term stay in mental hospital was often normal, Anne identified a need for adults in long-stay care to have a pattern to their day, a skill at their fingertips and something to talk about.
'I wanted to create a social, safe place for adults suffering with mental health and later, learning disabilities and stabilised addiction problems to thrive' – Anne Gardner
Anne's caring spirit and selfless concern for others was evident right from the start. Having trained at Guy's hospital from 1949 to 1953, Anne went on to volunteer as hospital manager at St Ann's for about ten years before creating Crumbs.
Having recently celebrated its 20th birthday, The Crumbs Project has significantly boosted catering sales and helped their trainees to secure employment. Without a doubt, Anne's resilience and energising passion helped lead the project to triumph.
Her substantial work was duly recognised with an MBE in the Birthday Honours in 2008 for services to mental health. She was also appointed as life president of The Crumbs Project at the end of last year, where the charity's chairman Douglas Eyre presented Anne with a painting of a seagull- a memento of the book 'Jonathan Livingston Seagull' which she associated with her daughter Liz, and was the inspiration behind her starting the charity.
Douglas Eyre, the Chair of Crumbs comments on behalf of the charity.
'Anne, through her founding of Crumbs, has literally made a difference to hundreds of lives helping folks with special challenges in life towards greater independence. A strong, determined character who knew exactly what she wanted! But with a heart of gold, a keen sense of humour and always, even when struggling with great physical problems herself, a very graceful lady. She was also a dedicated family person and our thoughts and prayers are with George and her family.' – Douglas Eyre
Anne will be greatly missed but never forgotten. The Crumbs Project will continue to support her legacy of caring for others in her memory.

Belle and the Band
ACTU presents Folk Music Friday
At noon Friday, Feb. 20, Arts for the Community at Thomas University (ACTU) will present Belle and the Band as part of the Friday at Noon series in Balfour Chapel on the Main Campus of Thomas University.
"This is a bit of a departure from the classical artists we usually present, but these musicians have been creating music together for over 10 years, and they are a really tight group, musically speaking," said Dr. Karl Barton, series coordinator.
At the melodic intersection that connects folk, bluegrass, and acoustic jazz, Belle and the Band features Kathryn Belle's soaring vocals with Kevin Robertson, guitar, Mickey Abraham, mandolin, and Mike Snelling, bass.
The program will include selections by Bill Monroe, who is considered to be the "father of bluegrass," as well as country music legend Bill Cochran. The program will also feature some more traditional folk music and original compositions by Kathryn Belle.
The concert is free and open to the public. A complimentary luncheon will follow the performance. For additional information, visit thomasu.edu/actu or call (229) 227-6964.

18 Ohio wildlife officers cited for hunting issues
December 13, 2013 at 04:13 PM
The Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Eighteen more state wildlife officers are being referred for possible criminal prosecution after a follow-up investigation into illegal hunting while on duty uncovered additional cases, the state watchdog said.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources said it immediately would place 17 officers on administrative duty and remove their law enforcement powers pending an internal investigation. The 18th officer, a supervisor, has retired.
Inspector General Randall Meyer found in comparing deer harvest and payroll records that the officers had hunted while on duty or were off duty at the time their deer harvests were recorded and therefore falsified payroll records to collect pay for hours not worked.
The inspector general's report said "lack of accountability and supervision along with failure of wildlife officers' compliance with the communication policy" was not only a legal issue but a safety concern.
Meyer launched the probe after an earlier investigation resulted in the convictions of two Brown County officers. He said he suspected it was more than an isolated incident.
Natural Resources spokeswoman Bethany McCorkle said the department has responded to activities highlighted in the probes, which go back as far as former Gov. Ted Strickland's administration, with updated protocols and officer education.
She said an internal investigation would be conducted, allowing the officers to present their sides of the story before a determination is made on any further disciplinary action.
The department's 140-member Wildlife Division has at least one wildlife officer in each of the state's 88 counties. Officers identified in the probe were from Adams, Belmont, Butler, Champaign, Columbiana, Defiance, Fayette, Franklin, Gallia, Geauga, Highland, Hocking, Holmes, Mercer, Sandusky, Stark, Vinton and Wyandot counties.

Hello Everyone!
Good morning! I just wanted to post a quick update on things. I am still doing well at my job and mentally. It feels so good to be giving back and helping others journey the mental health road to recovery.
I hope all of you are doing well.
Moving On…
Hello everyone. Just a quick update on the job front. I interviewed for a case manager position at another company and got the job! I start the new job on February 13th. It saddens me that I am leaving my job but I feel that several negative things have happened since I've been there…and I've only been there a month tomorrow. First, the case manager that I was hired to replace decided to stay amd I was moved to a lesser paying position with a second shift schedule. Second, I was lied to about not working overnights and weekends. I learned this week that I will be working every other weekend.
I am excited and nervous about the new job. They seem nice and welcoming. I look forward to the new adventure ahead…
A Step Backwards
This week I experienced some disappointment. The case manager that I was going to replace decided to stay. This meant there wasn't an opening for me as case manager. I've been transferred to another job as a Residential Sepcialist which pays less. I was hurt, embarrassed, and disappointed by this occurrence but not deterred from my goal. I came home, cried and decided to accept the new position. My goal is to work my way back to case manager.
Sometimes, life throws us a curveball that knocks us down. Don't let this keep you down. Stand up, cry (mourn the loss), dust yourself off, and keep moving forward. I refuse to be defeated!
Good morning! Just a quick update on how I'm doing at the new job. I am doing well. Next week will be a true test because I will no longer be shadowing anyone…I will be on my own. It is scary but I have confidence that I can do it. I need to remind myself that I am a beginner and be patient with myself.
It feels so good to be working again in mental health. It is where I belong. I have the personal experience to help others. That is what I want to do.
Wishing everyone a smooth and fast-moving week.
Never, Never Give Up…
First of all, I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year! It is a time of fresh starts and saying goodbye to what hasn't been working for us.
Well, tomorrow is the BIG day! It is the first day of my new job. Why is this important, you ask? It is my first full-time job since going on disability in 1998 for Major Depressive Disorder. I am grateful to finally be in a place to not only work in the field that I have dreamed of working in but to also give back…to help others navigate toward their own mental health recovery…to provide hope in an otherwise dark, and discouraging place.
As I begin this new and exciting endeavor, I hope to also write more on the blog about mental health and encouraging words. Our world is full of negative and disouraging messages. These messages do not help us or encourage us. I want to do my part to add some positive, realistic, workable messages to the world. It was difficult for me to find those when I needed them over the years.
If you are going through a rough time and things seem hopeless, all I can say is to not give up hope. If you are feeling hopeless and tired, please reach out to someone. This can be God, a relative, friend, your therapist, the internet…whoever it is…reach out. If you do not have anyone, which there were times when I didn't feel I had anyone to talk to, there are Warm Lines out there where someone will listen. To find a Warm Line close to you or a toll-free one, visit http://www.mhselfhelp.org/warmlines-index/. A Warm Line is a non-crisis phone line where you can call and talk to someone. To learn more about what it is like to call a Warm Line, check out https://www.madinamerica.com/2014/06/warm-line-expect-call-one/.
I want you to start believing in yourself. Living with a mental illness can be so overwhelming that some of us have been bedbound for days. The secret is to start out simple. What is one simple thing you can do for that day? When I was bedbound, I wish someone had told me this. No, I don't mean pushing me to do something…that would just make me feel worse. I mean someone who had lived through it themselves, providing me with support and encouragement…start very simply. It is okay for the goal to be as simple as sitting up in bed for five minutes. It doesn't have to be elaborate. This is how I had to begin my journey toward recovery. I took it slow when I was extremely depressed and I cheered myself on when I made a simple, single step forward. I want you to do the same, if that is what you need to do. Don't give up…allow yourself to take the time you need. Recovery is not a competition…it is the walk of your life…at your pace.
If you have lived with mental illness, what are some things that have helped you? I'd love to hear from you. Please share.

It can be challenging to deal with a defensive insecure individual. They often appear confident and self assured until they open their mouth. They are usually self centered because they have not matured beyond the stage in life where they think everyone is thinking about and judging them.
The first step in dealing with an adult that is insecure and defensive is to recognize them as such a person. Look for the fast defensive responses that they may give to even the smallest criticism. I have encountered adults who are so defensive that they hear criticism even where it is not intended. To deal with these people you will have to have a lot of patience and tolerance. You will have to decide if they are worth putting up with. Do you have to work with them? If so you will have to use a lot of tact. You may even have to bite your tongue to keep from responding inappropriately to their pettiness.
The next step you will need to take, is to do everything in your power to assure this person you are not a threat to them. They may not be easy to convince. Remember this person has never grown up emotionally. You may just have to be straightforward if all else fails and tell them to get a grip.
Next, you may have to be a little nosy and dig into this person's background to find out just why they are so defensive and insecure. I have noticed that some people are threatened by others only if they see them as a threat on the job or in their friendships. If you are an outgoing friendly person who has a lot of charisma they may be especially threatened by you and respond in a childish manner. Be careful if this person is in a position of power and has the ability to affect your employment. Use your best judgement and try to get them to understand you are "not out to get them".
One last step to take is to try to be understanding if you suspect the person is not quite as intelligent as they have led others to believe. They will really feel threatened by someone they perceive as smarter than them. I am not suggesting that anyone should hide their intelligence. Just don't flaunt it where it is not wise. Use tact!

Caps, Gowns, Tassels and Masters Hood
You very possibly filled out a form early in the year as to where you wanted to pick up your garb, your height, weight and head measurement. If you did not do this, please contact your coordinator and provide them with that information. In May, you may start to pick up your cap, gown and tassel at the location you specified. Please check at your specified location to know if it is possible to pick up your cap and gown. Bring ID, as we want to confirm that we are giving you the correct package, and that we check off that you have picked up your garb.
You must be on the official list to pick up garb. If you did not turn in your information, we will put together cap, gown and tassel for you. ID is required for this also. We do not give garb to anyone. If you need someone to pick yours up, please contact us and let us know who will be coming in for you.
When you get your garb, hang the gown. It will be wrinkled from being in a package. You can steam it, hang it in the bathroom when you are showering, or put it in the dryer at very low heat with a damp cloth. DO NOT IRON. It will melt. You will receive your hood at the ceremony. The hood must be returned after the ceremony, before you leave the graduation venue.
Hood Return
If you do not, you will be charged $150.00. You will not receive your diploma until this fee is paid. That being said, returning your hood is really a very easy process. Where ever graduation is being held, there will be signs letting you know where to go for hood return. The staff working this area will have the list of graduates. They will cross off your name when you turn in your hood. Make sure you wait to give them your name. You will have time to take photos and visit with family and friends after the ceremony, so there is no need to rush. Just make sure you leave the graduation venue with only your cap, gown and tassel.

Strong Powerball ticket sales since a Wednesday night drawing with no big winner have further padded an already large jackpot, lottery officials said Thursday afternoon.
It now stands at $600 million, with the cash option moving up to $376.9 million, according to the competition's website. It is now the largest Powerball jackpot in history, according to lottery officials.
The next drawing will be held on Saturday.
Prior to the strong Thursday sales, the lack of a winner on Wednesday night had left the pot at $475 million, with a $302.4 million cash payout. The total was then bumped to $550 million Thursday afternoon.
Wednesday's five white winning numbers were 2, 11, 26, 34 and 41, with 32 as the red bonus number. The jackpot is won by matching all five white numbers in any order and the red bonus number.
Annuitized winnings are paid out over 29 years, while the cash payout option is one lump sum payment.

Buddha Bowl
Spring is here but I still want a bowl of warm and nourishing goodness in the evening. Cook from stratch or throw together some leftovers. Here is my favourite combination but use whatever you like to build your own 'Buddha Bowl'.
The Method:
- Toast the cumin, coriander seeds, turmeric & dried chilli flakes in a dry frying pan until you start to smell their natural oils release and then crush the warm spices in a pestle and mortar. Fry some ginger and garlic in a little coconut oil and add the spice mix.
- Toss in the the rice and lentils and slick with the flavoured oil for a minute or two.
- Off the heat, top with whatever 'goodies' you fancy. I am greedy and used them all!
Filling, nutritious and delicious. Eat warm for dinner or cold as a rice salad for lunch.

These are some melt in your mouth gingersnap cookies that have been made in my family for many years now. Gingersnap cookies are a highly addictive, sugar coated cookie. That gets it's chewy texture and spicy flavor from adding dark molasses and ground spices (cinnamon, ginger and cloves) to the batter. These are great to eat along with a good cup of coffee or a tall glass of milk.
These gingersnap cookies do differ from traditional gingersnaps somewhat, in that these cookies are more tender and chewy than the more traditional version. These are one of my favorite cookies and I think you and your family will enjoy these as well.
- 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup shortening
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup dark molasses
- 1/3 cup cinnamon sugar
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Sift the flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt into a mixing bowl. Stir the mixture to blend evenly, and sift a second time into another bowl.
- Place the shortening into a mixing bowl and beat until creamy. Gradually beat in the white sugar. Beat in the egg, and dark molasses. Sift 1/3 of the flour mixture into the shortening mixture; stir to thoroughly blend. Sift in the remaining flour mixture, and mix together until a soft dough forms. Pinch off small amounts of dough and roll into 1 inch diameter balls between your hands. Roll each ball in cinnamon sugar, and place 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake in preheated oven until the tops are rounded and slightly cracked, about 10 minutes. Cool cookies on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container.

It is estimated that ten per cent of the population have dyslexia.
Therefore, it is more than likely that you will have dyslexic employees within your organisation. Also, a number of them may not know it as they have not been identified.
Dyslexic adults may find it hard to find a job because of their dyslexia difficulties and may not even tell the employer of their difficulties, because of their bad experience at school or in other jobs.
They often have low self-esteem and lack confidence, especially if their difficulties were not recognised before and they were deemed laze or stupid.
Dyslexia is not just a difficulty with reading, it is more than that. Since the severity of dyslexia varies, so do the strategies that help dyslexic people overcome their problems in employment.
That is why it is important to treat each dyslexic person as an individual, what works for one may not necessary work for another. They may have difficulty with reading, spelling, writing, short-term memory, time keeping and organisational skills. Nevertheless, dyslexic people also have real strengths including problem solving skills, practical tasks and enhanced creativity.
They can be strong in the areas of design, art, music, architecture and engineering. Also, many of the difficulties can be overcome with the right support. Here are a few suggestions on how you can support a dyslexic person in the workplace, which can also be beneficial for all employees.
Employers: Helpful Hints:
General difficulty with reading:
Difficulty with reading and writing:
Spelling and grammar errors:
Verbal Communication
Difficulty remembering and following verbal instructions:
Difficulty with hidden meanings in conversation:
Time and Work Planning
Concentration difficulties/distractions:
Coping with interruptions:
Remembering appointments and deadlines:
Organisation of property:
Organising workflow:
General difficulties
Reversing numbers:
Directional difficulties:
Short term memory problems especially names, numbers and lists:

Recipe: Apple Raspberry Quinoa Crumble
Quinoa for dessert? You bet your buttons! Our Toasted Quinoa Flakes (Hot Cereal) add a subtly nutty flavor to this sweet, but not-too-sweet dish. It's the perfect way to end a meal with no regrets.
For the filling:
- Four apples, peeled and diced
- 1/8 cup water
- 1 Tbs cornstarch (or arrowroot, or starch of your choice)
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- dash sea salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon

- 1/2 cup Toasted Quinoa Flakes
- 1/2 cup almond meal
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- In a large bowl, mix together the apples, water, cornstarch, sugar, salt, cinnamon and lemon juice.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the quinoa flakes, almond meal, coconut sugar, cinnamon, sea salt and coconut oil until small crumbles form. Add the walnuts and stir to combine.
- Divide the apple mixture into four small oven-safe bowls and add a handful of frozen raspberries to each bowl. Top with crumble mixture.
- Bake for 45 minutes until filling is bubbling hot.
