Hatters striker Harry Cornick would love a trip back to his former side AFC Bournemouth in tonight's FA Cup third round draw.
The 23-year-old joined the Cherries in September 2013 after a successful trial from non-league Wessex League side Christchurch, making just one appearance during his time on the south coast, that in the FA Cup.
Then, Cornick came on as a 71st minute substitute as Bournemouth triumphed 5-1 at Rotherham United in the third round, while he had loan moves to a number of clubs, before moving to Luton in August 2017.
On the chances of revisiting Dean Court, Cornick, who scored the winner in the 1-0 triumph at Bury in the second round yesterday, said: "I would like a trip back to Bournemouth, back down to the south coast, that would be nice."
Team-mate Jack Stacey meanwhile, wouldn't mind returning to his former side Reading, who he played six times for between July 2014 and June 2017, or getting one of the Premier League teams that enter at this stage.
He added: "That (Reading) would be a good one. It would be nice to go back there and see a few friendly faces, anyone above League One, we'll be happy with.
"Anyone maybe in the Championship or Premiership away would be a good experience for us and a nice test for us to see where we're at."

PGA Tour Betting Odds
Welcome to PGABettingOdds.com, the home of the best professional golf odds found anywhere on the web. Each and every one of the contributors to this site is a longtime golf enthusiast and has their finger on the pulse of the game – we keep up with all the news, betting trends, player rumors and general goings-on of the PGA Tour because we love the "Gentleman's Game." It should also be noted that the members of the staff play a lot of golf in their spare time too, but trust us when we say you don't want to know how bad we are at the game. You didn't come here to listen to our golf stories – you're here for our hot take on PGA betting odds, so let's not waste time and jump right into what you're going to find on this site.
Latest News & Ramblings What's Going On This Week In Golf
First and foremost, we are going to educate you on how to bet on PGA golf tournaments online. Information about this kind of betting is of crucial necessity for several reasons, not least because betting on golf does not work the same as it does when putting up money on other sports. For instance, you won't be putting on golf odds against the spread like you can with basketball or football, and golf is unique amongst most other sports in that there are many more ways to wager other than just picking the winner or the margin of victory
Secondly, we also aim to give you some insight into how to choose which sportsbook websites you can and should use when you're ready to put money on PGA tournaments. Just having the odds and understanding how betting works on a conceptual level is pretty much worthless in and of itself if you cannot find a bookmaker that will allow you to wager – and, more importantly, win – real money using those PGA Tour betting odds and betting lines. To this end, we have done the legwork for you, and we've invested a considerable amount of time and energy researching the best legal online PGA sportsbooks, and in the process we've come up with several trusted sites that feature odds for PGA Tour events that are simultaneously legal and year-in and year-out reliable as well.
The bottom line is this: you definitely don't want to get stuck with a rogue site that's just going to run off with your money after you make a deposit or one that takes forever to pay out when you win your wagers. Last, but certainly not least - this site is dedicated to keeping you updated with what's happening on the PGA Tour from week to week. Look out for our up-to-date coverage of every single event, including the four Major tournaments too, along with other things like our picks for the winners and of course, the PGA Tour betting odds for this week's upcoming competitions.
Different Types Of PGA Betting Odds And How To Bet On The PGA
Depending on your experience with wagering on sports in a general sense, figuring out how to bet on the PGA might be fairly simple or it could involve gaining a whole new knowledge base before you're ready to get in on the action of sports betting, particularly with regard to betting on golf. To start with though, let's assume you already know how to place a wager at a legal online sportsbook like Bovada, BetOnline, SportsBetting, BetDSI, 5Dimes or Bet365, and so we'll first talk about the different ways you can actually go about placing wagers on golf specifically.
The most common type of PGA Tour betting odds are the ones found on betting lines involving which player will win a given tournament outright. While betting lines of this type are fun to look at, talk about, and – ultimately – to wager on, there are many more betting types which could offer bigger payouts or a higher chance of success for your money. That being said, let's take a little time to do a more in-depth look at the different PGA golf tournament odds that are commonly available at the aforementioned leading betting sites listed further down the page.
Odds To Win - This is most common form of PGA Tour betting odds. It involves simply picking which golfer in the field of entrants you think will win the event outright, and if you are right, you win the bet and the money according to risk/reward ratio as stipulated by the odds. It's that simple. The odds to win are available in the days leading up to the first round (golf tournaments are almost always multiple day affairs) and are adjusted following the completion of each subsequent round due to shifts in the leaderboard. You should also be aware that odds (known as future odds) for Major tournaments on the PGA tour are available a few months ahead of time in most cases, giving you the most opportunities possible to win big by wagering on golf online.
Head To Head - Internet sportsbook sites like those we recommend for our readers will often offer odds on head-to-head matchups between competing golfers within a PGA tournament. These betting lines are usually not handicapped using strokes, but instead have their handicaps based on the payout – for instance, a bet on one player that has lesser chances of winning in the matchup would pay more on a $1 wager versus the other golfer in the matchup. Also, head-to-head PGA tour betting odds can be for the entire tournament or on just a single round depending on the stipulations of the wager.
2 Ball / 3 Ball - Making bets on odds of either of these types are very similar to the head-to-head odds w already mentioned above. However, betting using this method is done based on groups and pairings instead of head-to-head matchups between two golfers. Also, these varieties of bets are by their very nature only calculated by the individual round and the lowest score for that given round – basically, which ever group or pairing within that round will win the wager for the bettors that bet on them. Unless otherwise noted, a tie results in a "push" and wagers on all sides of the betting line will have their money refunded.
The first two rounds of any given tournament (which most often occurs on Thursdays and Fridays) are usually shown as "3 Ball" lines because there are typically going to be three golfers to a group at that stage of a tournament, while the final two rounds of the tournament can be done as "2 Ball" lines. This is due to players being eliminated from play as the tourney progresses (meaning a bettor will be either able to wager on one golfer, or even on the event of a tie). Finally, "Mythical 2 Ball" betting lines enable a bettor to choose between either golfer in the pair with a tie resulting in a push situation.
PGA Betting Props - Bettors of all stripes love prop bets no matter the sport, and golf is no different in that regard. Props encompass several ways to get in on the action such as top-5 or top-10 wagers (in which you only have to pick a player to finish in either fifth spot or tenth spot or better on the leaderboard) or who the leader will be after first, second or third rounds of the tournament. Other popular PGA Tour betting odds of the prop variety include betting lines on what the nationality of the outright winner will be (usually this kind of prop is only available in on of the Majors), hole-in-one props, and many more. If you're interested in prop bets, head over to the specials betting section at Bovada, BetOnline, SportsBetting, BetDSI, 5Dimes and Bet365 for more details.
Live PGA Betting - This betting method is a new form of wagering on the internet that even most longtime sports betting veterans are not entirely hip to just yet. Live in-play PGA betting on golf tournaments is a revolutionary wagering method in that the bettor can place bets between shots, while the odds to win the tournament are themselves updated from hole to hole. There is literally no telling what kind of props and different kinds of odds you might encounter when using the live betting app (which is free for account holders to download) that most of the leading legal offshore sportsbooks offer. Seeing as live in-play PGA betting is so different from traditional betting methods, we will do our try to get a video posted in the near future in which we will show exactly how live wagering works within the context of popular PGA golf tournaments.

2018 Masters Betting Odds
The Masters is the first Major Championship of the PGA season. The 2018 Masters will be held beginning on Thursday, April 5th. Unlike almost other Major tournaments on the PGA Tour, the Masters always take place at the historic Augusta National Golf Club. Once the dream of Bobby Jones, the Masters Tournament – held annually just outside the small town of Augusta, Georgia. This course and its accompanying tournament is now among the most prolific and important golf tournaments held anywhere in the world, and it's arguably the greatest tournament out there.
Currently, the 2018 Masters betting odds available at Bovada and Bet365 (the best online sportsbook sites for most bettors in the US and international bettors, respectively) indicate that Dustin Johnson and Jordan Spieth are almost neck-and-neck in terms of their chances to win. Bovada.lv lists both Americans with +750 moneyline odds, but Bet365 has Johnson as the narrow favorite with fractional odds of 8/1, while Spieth is going for 12/1, just behind Irishman Rory McIlroy (+1000, 10/1). Longtime PGA Tour fixtures like Tiger Woods (+1600, 28/1), Phil Mickelson (+1800, 33/1), and Bubba Watson (+2000, 50/1) are all still in the mix, if, however, with much longer odds, as is 2017 Masters winner Sergio Garcia (+3300, 25/1).
2018 PGA Championship Betting Odds
If the Masters is the first Major tournament on the PGA Tour, the PGA Championship is, naturally, always going to be the final Major tournament on the calendar of the tour. For 2018, the PGA Championship will the signature event of the Professional Golf Association of America and will be played on the sprawling, historic Bellerive Country Club, which is located outside St. Louis, Missouri. Bellerive previously hosted the U.S. Open in 1965 and the 1992 edition of the PGA Championship as well.
Unlike the other three Major tournaments, there are no amateur golfers that are permitted to compete in the PGA Championship. Often referred to by the sobriquet "Glory's Last Shot," owing to its position as the final Major of the season, the PGA Championship holds special significance with players. In essence, the Championship is a chance to put an exclamation point on a season or, for some, the chance to validate what might have otherwise been an unsuccessful one.
In 2018, the leading golfer on Bovada's futures betting boards is Jordan Spieth with +1000 odds to win, but Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson have the same chances of winning outright as well. Japanese sensation Hideki Matsuyama (+1600, 25/1) and American Justin Thomas (+1600, 14/1) are practically tied on the betting boards in real terms. Australian Jason Day is close behind, with Bovada listing him a moneyline of +1600 and Bet365 giving him 14/1 odds to win the 2018 PGA Championship.
2018 U.S. Open Betting Odds
The United States Golf Association is - as you likely can figure out just by looking at the organization's name alone - the governing body of professional golf in the U.S., and it is in charge of putting on the U.S. Open. Year-in and year-out, the U.S. Open is regarded as the most difficult tournament to win, due to the nature of the setup and difficulty of the courses chosen for this prestigious competition.
Easy courses simply don't get picked to host tournaments of the magnitude of the Majors, and the 2018 edition of the U.S. Open is no exception to that rule, as Long Island, New York's Shinnecock Hills Golf Club is the designated site of the multiple day competition. Shinnecock's position as one of America's leading golf courses is legendary – the Southampton-based course, which is home to what many historians claim is the oldest formal organized golf club in the US – hosted the U.S. Open four times in the past and is already scheduled to host the 2026 edition. The 2018 U.S. Open will be held from June 14-17 and features a field of 156 golfers, one of the biggest in the PGA Tour.
As of right now, Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy are all tied on the betting board at Bovada, with each elite golfer boasting equal +900 moneylines at the Latvia-based site. However, the three leaders have fractional odds that put them in a slightly different order – Johnson takes the forefront with 8/1 odds, followed by McIlroy with 10/1 odds and Spieth rounds out a very elite top three with 12/1 odds on the board.
2018 British Open Betting Odds
The oldest of the four current majors that take place each year is the British Open, and its worldwide fame is held in such high regard that this tournament is often referred to simply as simply "The Open." Rich in history and ripe with tradition, the British Open is put on by the Royal & Ancient, the governing body of golf in Europe, and has been held annually since 1860 at various locations scattered around the islands of the United Kingdom.
For the 2018 edition of the British Open, the tournament will be held at the Carnoustie Golf Links in Angus, Scotland, in what will be the eighth time in history that the Open Championship was held there. Founded in 1850, this course is separated into three different smaller sub-courses, but even the largest of them, which is the par-71 Championship course, is quite a bit shorter than most other PGA Major courses. Canoustie totals out at 6,941 yards – almost a thousand yards shorter than some other Majors-tier courses.
The 2018 British Open Betting Odds available at our favorite legal offshore PGA betting sites once again favor the trio of Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson. The three men have the same +1000 moneyline odds at Bovada, but Bet365 separates them thusly: Spieth 10/1, McIlroy 11/1 and Johnson 12/1, so they are very clearly basically evenly matched. Much will depend on how each golfer performs in the months leading up to the British Open's 2018 edition, set to be held from July 19 through the 22nd.
FedEx Cup
In an effort to produce more intrigue throughout the season outside of the majors, the PGA created the FedEx Cup as a season-long championship starting in 2007. The FedEx Cup is, in essence, a playoffs system or a season-long points race wherein the PGA's players accumulate points by way of wins and top finishes. The FedEx Cup points carry over from tournament to tournament throughout the year, and at the end of the season, players try to qualify for the FedEx Cup Playoffs.
The playoffs themselves consist of four events, where the top-125 players qualify for the first playoff event. This first event would be Northern Trust, formerly known as the Barclays. Through each playoff event, the field narrows down. The Dell Technologies Championship (which used to the Deutsche Bank Championship) is the second of the playoff tournaments, featuring the top-100 in the points standings. From there, the top-70 moves on to the BMW Championship. The final playoff event is The TOUR Championship, where just the top-30 golfers in the standings will qualify to make it to compete at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. Though the field is considerably whittled down by this time in the playoffs, one of the things that makes the FedEx Championship so popular is that there are a number of scenarios that could transpire at the TOUR Championship to where every player in the field has a statistical chance to win the FedEx Cup.
The 2018 Northern Trust
Formerly referred to as the Barclays, the Northern Trust (and before that as the Westchester Classic) is the first FedEx Cup Playoff event held annually on the PGA Tour. The 2018 Northern Trust's venue varies from year to year, but for the 2018 edition it will be held at the Ridgewood Country Club in Paramus, New Jersey. The top 125 players on the point standings will make it into the FedExCup Playoffs but they won't be able to rest because only the top 100 golfers get to go on to the Dell Technologies Championship, the next FedEx Championship tournament.
2018 Dell Technologies Championship
The 2018 Dell Technologies Championship will be contested, as always, at the TPC Boston in Norton, Massachusetts. There will be 100 players in the field, with 30 having been eliminated by the time the final putt drops on Sunday evening at the previous tournament in FedEx Playoffs. The various golfers in the field are narrowing down into truly elite territory, and nobody wants to miss the cut, which includes on the best 70 players in the world.
2018 BMW Championship
The BMW Championship is the final test for top-70 players to try and earn their way into the season finale, the TOUR Championship. When players start the 2018 PGA season, it is definitely one of the goals on their checklists. Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania will host the 2018 edition of the BMW Championshp, where 70 golfers will enter but only the top 30 finishers will go on to duke it out for the FedEx Cup Championship at the TOUR Championship.
2018 TOUR Championship
Making it to the 2018 TOUR Championship will be quite an accomplishment for all players in the field. It signifies a very successful season, with the chance for it to get even better Entering the TOUR Championship, any player in the top five spots on the rankings will win the FedEx Cup with a win at East Lake Golf Club. Players outside of the top 5 also have a chance to win, although it can't be said that they truly have control of their own destiny. Instead, a win for any player outside the top five spots on the leaderboard going in will have to hope and depend on a misstep from a higher ranked player on the field, though with competition this fierce, that isn't as unlikely a scenario as you might think.

The Official World Golf Rankings are tabbed at the end of each week and formulated accordingly including the previous week's results. There are a number of factors that go into determining the player rankings. It begins with ranking each tournament on the schedule for all professional golf tours across the world. This includes the PGA Tour and nearly a dozen others.
Player rankings are also tabulated depending on how a player finishes in the tournaments that they play. This dates back to a two-year period for the Official World Golf Rankings. Finally, there is a ranking average that is calculated for the two-year window, where the number that you see when looking up the rankings is shown. This is the combination of all the rankings that are put together. World Golf Rankings are critical for players, as they determine many of the automatic entries into the biggest events in the world.
You can find the latest World Golf Rankings for the 2018-2019 PGA Tour season here on this page, which will be updated every week as each tournament through the season passes.
Where To Bet On The PGA Online
Knowing where to bet on PGA golf can be almost as important as knowing how to do it. Getting stuck with a sub-par (no pun intended) betting site can make for a bad experience with wagering or even the ultimate taboo – that of course not getting paid even though you won a bet, all because the site or sites you chose isn't trustworth. Also, bettors should demand a high-caliber betting site which can provide consistently good PGA betting odds as well as odds for all the other sports and big events. That being said, betting on golf isn't all about just putting money down on your pick; it's also about getting money in and out of the sportsbook.
As we said earlier, we have several recommendations as the best sites for betting on the sport and individual tournaments. These sites always have the betting types we've talked about above and have friendly interfaces which make it easy for even the newest online bettor. We know this because we use these sites when we want to wager too. These are the very same sites we rely on and we know that you can too because we follow this game as close as anyone. Put your trust in these books.

American Book Awards from the Before Columbus Foundation
Congratulations to Sasha Pimentel Chacón, author of Insides She Swallowed(West End Press), and Karen Tei Yamashita, author of I Hotel (Coffee House Books), whose books have both been awarded the American Book Award from the Before Columbus Foundation. The American Book Awards, established in 1978 by the Before Columbus Foundation, recognize outstanding literary achievement from the entire spectrum of America's diverse literary community. The purpose of the awards is to recognize literary excellence without limitations or restrictions. There are no categories, no nominees, and therefore no losers. The award winners range from well-known and established writers to under-recognized authors and first works. There are no quotas for diversity, the winners list simply reflects it as a natural process. The Before Columbus Foundation views American culture as inclusive and has always considered the term "multicultural" to be not a description of various categories, groups, or "special interests," but rather as the definition of all of American literature. The Awards are not bestowed by an industry organization, but rather are a writers' award given by other writers.

So recently I discovered the not so secret world of planner enthusiasts. I love to plan things but sometimes it's just all in my head and I get forgetful. And while Facebook invites and the iPhone calendar are nice sometimes a girl needs a little more to keep her on track. I have heard a lot about the Erin Condren planners and loved the design, but it's June and I want a planner now! Plus EC's format just didn't fit what I was looking for so as much as I really wanted one it just wasn't the planner for me.
Luckily, a friend recommended Plum Paper Designs and it turned out to be just what I was looking for, well almost. For starters, PPD allows their planners to start any month of the year - I personall treat my birthday as my "New Year" so this is perfect. Also, PPD offers four types of weekly layouts which is nice. Finally, PPD has several add on sections which just so happen to be pretty in line with my goals for my upcoming 31st year. Although EC offers similar goal tracking notebooks they are separate entities and I want all of my stuff together in one notebook. As a plus, PPD is a lower price point.
So yesterday my planner arrived! Here's a look at what's inside:
The cover is s nice card stock and then comes with a plastic frosted covering, which I actually do not like, I would say this is the only real "flaw" with my PPD Planner.
Doesn't the cover look so much nicer without the frosting? A lot of girls carefully snip off their covers, laminate with 10ml pockets and snap it back on, I plan on doing the same.
But here's what's inside:
Each monthly tab area has a notes page, calendar monthly layout and weekly layouts.
In the back is a section for special dates and a pocket for stickers or whatever odds and ends one wants to keep in their planner. Another slight complaint here is that I really wish the pocket was laminated to be more sturdy.
Now, if I had stopped there at the standard planner I would have spent $31
But, my favorite thing about PPD is they allowed me to add several sections to my planner to suit my planner needs. For this year I really want to focus on Household Organization, Wellness , and growing my Young Living team. And it just so happens PPD offers sections for each. I did a post on each section so I can come back and talk more about how I'm using each section.
My Home
Direct Sales
Overall I am pretty pleased with the purchase. I also purchased my own laminator since I'd like to have some interchangeable covers and dashboards and by the time I was had a few I liked on etsy I realized I could save by making myself. I'm kinda obsessed with it already!

Gifts for Tree-Hugging Kiddos
I know a few adventurous toddlers who thrive in the outdoors. I'm always looking for new gifts that will nurture their love of nature. Some of these ideas I've already purchased and a few I look forward to purchasing as my nieces and nephew grow up.
One of my nieces has an eclectic fashion style, so I like giving her "Camping T-shirts" to add to her collection. One of my favorite finds is this Happy Camper eco-friendly hand-drawn t-shirt featuring a tent, campfire and s'mores. You can buy this t-shirt for $22 from the Etsy shop GrowingUpWild. Kelly, the owner of GrowingUpWild, has even more items for infants that are equally cute and green!
In addition to camping, my niece also loves to read. Just about every children's book series has a camping story, and I'm pretty sure she's read them all. Multiple times. So what else does a nature-loving bibliophile need?
A head lamp and a camping chair!
Lego has some adorable head lamps. Fire fighters, construction workers, and police officers. I like this Darth Vadar Head Lamp, which I found on Amazon for $13.61. Funny that the stormtrooper head lamp costs more at $17.95. Perhaps a disturbance in the Force?
REI's dark plum Camp Chair for Kids looks quite sturdy. With six great reviews on their website, $24.50 seems a reasonable price for a light-weight chair that could go from backyard to mountain adventure!
But then I found this Happy Giddy Child's Outdoor Chair at Melissa & Doug. It's currently out-of-stock online, but they are making more. At $19.99, no wonder this chair sold out! And how can I resist a chair that looks like it was custom-made for a book worm?
By chance, I stumbled upon Babiators at my eye doctor's office. I was looking at this rainbow of sunglass options, and I thought, "Why wouldn't you want your kiddo protecting their eyes?" Well, kids do lose things. And sunglasses break easily.
Not these! These sunglasses are made for kids, so the frames are flexible and the lens is shatter-resistant. The original Babiators are just $20! They come in two different kid sizes and ten colors. If you register your Babiators within 30 days of purchase, they'll even send you a replacement pair if you lose them or break them. Amazing!
To keep my nieces and nephews questing, I like to find play sets that encourage their imagination. These accessories are so versatile. They can be used on camping trips, in the backyard, or inside for some role-playing fun on rainy days.
Melissa & Doug have this Backyard Explorer Costume Set for $29.99. Amazon sells the nine-piece Learning Resources Camp Set for $22.18 and the Gardening Tools Set for $10.95. And for storing some of these great play tools, why not a Camping Rocks tote bag from Cafe Press for $16.99?
For trips with kids, including any with long travel time, be sure to grab a copy of The Kids' Book of Questions. I haven't purchased this book for my nieces and nephew yet. They're still too young for the questions, but I have used this book with middle school students. They love considering the various scenarios. The questions provoke fantastic conversations that can make time go by quickly!
For days when the weather is just too unbearable to be outside, I like to find puzzles and maps that let my nieces and nephew explore from their living room.
This Animal Map of the World is visually stunning! The Discovery Store sells this hand drawn beauty for $14.95. I love that it combines geography and biology. I'm not sure that I will ever tire of scanning the various images and information.
Floor puzzles are particularly appealing to the teacher in me. Building good spatial thinking skills just makes packing the car for those camping trips easier. Even though Melissa & Doug recommend these puzzles for ages 6+, younger children can still manipulate these pieces easily and watch as the four foot puzzle takes shape. The cardboard is extra-thick so the puzzle pieces are pretty durable. And the $12.99 price is reasonable for the number of times these puzzles will get pulled out. I love the Safari Floor Puzzle with its image of the African animals at the watering hole. Reminds me of Simba and the circle of life.
Regardless of where the adventure takes place, what child doesn't like having a buddy along for the journey?
Now in my family, my brother has the market cornered on stuffed animal purchases for the nieces and nephew. He loves finding exotic animals to add to the family menagerie. I will take credit for pointing him to the Sierra Club's Adopt a Wild Animal stuffed animals and puppets collection. For $39, you get the stuffed animal or puppet, a sticker, and an 8-page booklet. Standard shipping is free and 83.3% of every dollar you give to the Sierra Club goes to implementing conservation programs. If my bother doesn't get the snowy owl, I will have to. Who could resist naming her Hedwig?
While I tend to be more gift-conscious around the holidays and birthdays, I do Pin year-round any inspiring finds on my Pinterest board "Gifts for Tree-Hugging Kiddos."


text: As reported previously, the vinyl version of this Love & Rockets tribute (featuring Snowden's cover of No Words No More) is a limited edition Red & Blue 12″. This is out now on Justice Records, and we now know the pressing is just 1000 copies. Grab them while you can, I just did a quick search and found buying two copies got me free shipping at Tower.

Choosing a healthy breakfast cereal can be an overwhelming task. Nowadays at least one whole aisle of the supermarket is dedicated to breakfast cereals. Many of them flaunt nutrition claims and jargon across their packages. It often seems impossible to find a cereal that's high in all the good stuff (fibre, low GI energy) but low in all the bad stuff (fat, sugar and salt).
What to look for on a label?
All food packages have Nutrition Information Panels which list essential criteria (energy, total fat, saturated fat, carbohydrate, sugars, protein, fibre and sodium) per serve and per 100g. The 'serve' size varies anywhere from 30g to 50g serve in cereals so when comparing two products it is always best to use the per 100g column.
Try choosing a breakfast cereal with:
- Total fat <12g/100g
- Saturated fat <2g/100g
- Sugar <20g/100g
- Fibre >6g/100g
- Sodium <400mg/100g
Ingredients list:
- Look for cereals with the shortest ingredients list. This goes for all packaged foods as the shorter the ingredients list, the less processed the food
- If cereals have >12g total fat/100g, check the ingredients list to see if the source of fat is healthy (e.g. nuts) or unhealthy (e.g. vegetable oil)
- If cereals have >20g sugar/100g, check the ingredients list to see if the source of sugar is natural (e.g. honey) or added (e.g. molasses)
Examples of muesli's which meet these criteria:
Brookfarm, Coles, Just Organic, Lowan, Monster Muesli, Morning Sun, Uncle Toby's
Examples of cereal's which meet these criteria:
Goodness Superfoods Protein 1st/ Digestive 1st/ Heart 1st, Sanitarium Weet-bix, Sanitarium Light n Tasty, Kellogg's All Bran/ All Bran Apple flavoured crunch, Kellogg's Guardian, Vogel's Ultra Bran, Be Natural Wholegrain Flakes Cereal/ Manuka Honey, Spice Clusters & Flakes Cereal

The title of this 400+ page book doesn't fuck around. That is exactly what you get here. Author Bob Mehr thoroughly captures The Replacements timeline from each member's childhood to the band's bitter demise. If you are are "just the facts ma'am" kind of information seeker, I can't imagine a better read about the band however for anyone looking for a story told through the lense of an outsider with an angle or opinions, you may feel like I did after taking their story in, suffocated by too many details. By the last page I felt sick to my stomach and mostly horrified. I grew up bowing to the alter of this band's music but the force behind their catalog is a freight train of emotional damage that leads to epic reckless behavior magnified by addiction and mental illness. It can all almost be too much. It reads more like the world's longest police report. Trouble Boys is the Lars von Trier approach to storytelling. The camera never leaves anything to the imagination. Just when you don't think the story could get any darker, it does. Oh dear God it does.
I have to wonder, if you knew nothing of The Replacements' music or the key roll they play in the history of great American Rock music, would this book derail you from ever being able to listen to their music and enjoy it? Should you separate the art a group of people make from the very people who created it? It is a tough call when the two are so tangled together. I don't regret reading the book but I will definitely not hear their records the same way again. I don't think I like the people who made these records but at least I have a fuller understanding of how they came to be and why.
The silver lining for me as a music fanatic is this book also highlights the musical influences of the band of which there are MANY. Years ago I helped to create a radio program called Cause & Effect that is still being produced on WRIR but now by other DJs carry on the tradition. Each week a musician or band is selected and they trace their musical roots for two hours. They don't just play songs from their discography but they play the music that helped shaped their style as well as the current bands that exist because of them.
Old habits die hard so when I read a book like Trouble Boys, I still take notes. Thanks to the sites like Spotify I can than instantly build playlists out of those notes from the book. Like a crazy person, I have built 9 playlists that carry nearly 30 hours of music. These playlists are the music companion to the book so as the reader comes across a music related reference, if they had music on Spotify, it was added to the playlist. Much like book itself, if you an absurd amount of detail with nothing spared, these playlists are for you. However for me, this part of the story leaves me feeling an emotional bond to the band that the book helped to erode. As crazy as the members of the band could be, as crazy as their lives would become, each band member was also an obsessive music mans. They liked so many different genres and it is that wide style spectrum that shaped the band's distinct sound and progression from album to album.
These 9 playlists tell the story of The Replacements that I would rather remember them by.
Trouble Boys 1 : The Replacements Story (Chapters 1-5)
Trouble Boys 2 : The Replacements Story (Chapters 6-10)
Trouble Boys 3: The Replacements Story (Chapters 11-15)
Trouble Boys 4 : The Replacements Story (Chapters 16-20)
Trouble Boys 5 : The Replacements Story (Chapters 21-25)
Trouble Boys 6 : The Replacements Story (Chapters 26-34)
Trouble Boys 7 : The Replacements Story (Chapters 35-48)
Trouble Boys 8 : The Replacements Story (Chapters 49-56)

Located between Geevagh and Riverstown in the townland of Ballinphuill, Lough na Suil (which means 'Lake of the Eye') lies on the edge of the battle site, not far from Heapstown Cairn.
It is said that once in every hundred years the lake mysteriously empties overnight and refills itself. Records show that this did indeed occur in 1833, 1933, and then at intervals of twenty years or so, until most recently in 2006 and 2012.
But is this due to magic and myth, or is there some other, more realistic explanation?
The most popular reason given for this sudden mysterious draining of the lake lies in the structure of the ground beneath it. The basin of the Lough rests in a karst limestone layer which is full of underground caverns and rivers. As water seeps through cracks and fissures in the limestone, they eventually widen over time to become sink holes. These holes often become blocked with mud, silt and other debris which on occasion collapses, causing the Lough to appear to empty almost overnight.
There is another reason, though. Some believe that the lake empties once in every hundred years to ensure people never forget the atrocities of the Battle of Moytura which took place there. Needless to say, I like this idea!
In mythology, Lough na Súil is where Danann High King and Master of All Arts, Lugh Lámfhada defeated his grandfather, the Fomori Giant-King, Balor of the Evil Eye.
He killed him by famously throwing his spear (although some versions of the story claim it was a sling-stone) an incredibly long distance into Balor's eye, thus earning himself the epithet 'Long Arm', or in Irish Lámfhada (pronounced La-wa-tha). Balor fell face down into the ground, his evil eye burning a great crater in the earth which filled up with water, and so the Lough was formed.
After the battle, Lugh cut off Balor's head and hung it in a nearby hazel tree. Over the course of many years, the poison from his evil eye dripped down into the tree's roots. Finally, the tree was overcome by the poison and split apart.
Seeing this, the sea god Manannán decided to harness the powerful properties of the wood and make a shield from it. Unfortunately, in the felling of the tree, eighteen men were killed by its poison, and a further nine killed as they fashioned the wood into the shield.
Manannán covered it with the skin of a sacred bull and marked it with druidic symbols, probably Ogham. Eventually, he gave the shield as a gift to Fionn mac Cumhall.
There is a Neolithic court tomb with a U-shaped court leading to a gallery of four chambers located on the battle site, known as The Giant's Grave. The cairn infill material is long since gone, but the stone outline can still be seen. As Balor is the only giant mentioned in the mythology of the battle, it is quite possible that his body was carried here by his men and the cairn raised over him.
In 1929, Fr Sharkey, a local parish priest marked the 3000th anniversary of the Battle of Moytura by predicting the emptying of the Lough, and organised a huge festival in celebration of the event.
Unfortunately, the waters failed to recede to order, and the Lough did not drain until 1933, four years later. Apparently, a huge number of fish were found wedged in a muddy hole in the lake bed some fourteen feet deep, and consequently shared out amongst the astonished local population.

Jean Chretien the Greatest Ever
I've said this before and many of my friends will attest to it. History will show in decades to come that Jean Chretien was the most successful Prime Minister in the history of Canada.
Today was the first step in that acknowledgement...the Order of Canada. Too bad there's not some kind of World Leader Hall of Fame. That would be the next step.

Besides physics, my other primary area of research is related to visual cognition. Have you guys ever seen the Honda robot Asimo? I'm sure you'll recognize it from the picture below.
Asimo is the most advanced robot in existence. I found an awesome lecture on Youtube by one of the scientists involved in Asimo's creation. He's talking about its visual system and how it works. It's absolutely incredible. If you want to know what the subject of "visual cognition" is all about, jump to 20 minutes within this video and you'll actually watch Asmio's systems in action. You get to see out of its camera eyes and watch it process the raw information, track objects, and comprehend the environment.
This is an artificial robot doing the same things your brain does for you automatically. The most simplistic, everyday tasks you perform are actually mind boggling in complexity. The thing is, your brain processes all the information for you without you having to think about it, leaving you with a false sense of simplicity.
I've also found some interesting lectures on the same material online. In this next lecture by Dr. Scott Murray, you'll find out that your visual system heavily processes the raw sensory information from your eyes long before it becomes conscious to you. This is actually rather cutting edge research because his information related to V1 is different than what my neuroscience textbooks tell me, and they're only a few years old.
It's amazing to learn how your brain judges the "size" of an object. Our brains also perform some rather strange feats as they process the color information they receive. By the time you see something, you brain has already greatly filtered and processed the information, fusing it together with the context around it. You're only conscious of the end result, which is why this is very fascinating to me. Understanding all those intermediary steps is a passion of mine.
You'll be amazed as Dr. Murray moves colored squares in and out of pictures. He'll hold the square outside of a picture and say, "What color is this?" You'll say, "It's gray". Then when he places it in the picture, it'll turn blue right before your eyes. Is the square gray? Blue? I don't know.
As you take a stroll through your backyard, you'd be blown away if you knew all the things your brain processes for you. Say you see a tree several yards away from you. You walk toward it, then away from it, then move around it and view it from an angle, and so on and so forth. Throughout all of those complex changes in sensory impressions, your brain has computed and inferred that there is a tree, and that between your movements, what you're viewing is the same tree. It's judged its location relative to other objects. Even when changes take place, such as the limbs bending, and the leaves falling from the sky, it still knows it's the same tree. It logs memories of these experiences. It just does and sorts all of this information for you. It's only when you have to design a robot to do all these things that you start to appreciate how complex you are.
I study the brain because it tells us who we really are. I believe the space we're living within is way more complicated than what our brains are telling us. The space our brains work with is a product of natural selection, and is a rough approximation. Quantum mechanics and relativity point toward a deeper picture. I think to understand some of the more subtle mysteries, it'll take a deep understanding of everything the brain does.
Physics is plagued by overly simplistic concepts such as "observers" and "objects". There's models like the "many-worlds" interpretation, and that each decision splits the universe. But what are these "decisions" they're talking about? If you study neuroscience and the brain, you see that such conceptions are way too simple compared to what's really going on.
Our brains are almost hard wired to decode the sensory information in a certain way, and using that system we set constrictions on our level of understanding. As Richard Dawkins is always saying, we've evolved to move at slow speeds and deal with medium sized objects. Once you start dealing with the universe at the large scale, such as cosmology, or the small scale (quantum physics), the "virtual reality" which our brains are decoding and immersing us within based on sensory impressions is inaccurate and has to be abandoned.
People talk about "free will" like it's some ultimately simple thing. It's not. Philosophers such as John Locke have felt we have control of our bodily movements. This simplicity is assumed by many physicists when they talk about our actions influencing and modifying various quantum mechanical experiments. But decisions are not so simple. Take this next lecture for instance. When you look into your visual system closely, you find out that you actually have two visual cognition systems. One is related to conscious awareness of what you're seeing, whereas the other one plans bodily movements based on visual information. There are patients with brain damage who live with just one or the other, and it's pretty strange.
When you do something as simple as picking up a pen off your desk, the calculations and computations your brain performs are almost unbelievable. Multiple brain systems go into operation and trillions of neurons are firing off. And if you think some simplistic "you" is in control of that, all it takes is a little brain damage to set you back in your proper place.
I'll let Professor Goodale explain it. He does a wonderful job.

|In attempting to improve cooling and straight line speed, Robinson Racing hired the talents of designer John Mills to redesign their R&S MkIIIC. The Robinson MkIIIC raced during the 2002 Grand-Am season.
|Everything from the front wheel centerline forward was modified. The front mounted radiator was moved to the side pods with cooling air flow ingested at the front and blown through the front suspension. The standard MkIIIC splitter was redesigned, note the stiffening channels.
|The large vertical side pod mounted strake is unusual and somewhat contradictory to conventional thinking. The cooling chimneys are reminiscent of contemporary F1 cooling air flow exhaust management, though its application here is unique.
