If shoveling snow causes you to feel not just back pain, but jaw pain and headaches, the problem might be related to TMJ.
Smart Shoveling
The first thing you should do if you are experiencing soreness and pain from shoveling snow is to make sure you are using proper techniques for shoveling the snow. Bad form can cause lead to additional exertion and possible injury.
- Make sure the shovel length is appropriate for your height. If you're bending down too much when shoveling, it puts your back at a disadvantage for doing the work.
- If you're straining to lift the snow, your shovel is too full. Remember, if the snow is denser, you should pick up less of it with each shovel.
- Lift with your knees, not your back, and use your abs to help stabilize your core and facilitate lifting.
- Twisting and bending are hard on your back–try to limit them.
- Rather than throwing the snow, walk it to where you want to pile it. If you have to throw snow, step in the direction of the throw.
- Take frequent breaks, even if you don't think you're tired. On breaks, flex your back backward to balance the amount of forward bending you're doing.
If you try these techniques, but you're still suffering back pain and related problems, you should talk to your doctor and consider the possibility that TMJ might be to blame.
Is It TMJ?
It can be hard to believe that your jaw is actually important to the work of shoveling snow–after all, you're not moving the snow with your mouth, right? But the truth is that whenever your body tries to leverage its strength, it employs your jaw to help brace and stabilize your head, neck, and spine. If your jaw isn't properly aligned, this clamping down can be painful to jaw muscles and potentially damaging to teeth. And it can lead to headaches when your jaw muscles pass on their stress to partner muscles in the head. And because your body may be less efficient, your back muscles may be working harder than they should be, resulting in excess back pain.
Stabilizing your jaw joint can help not just in shoveling snow, but in many daily tasks that rely on strength or balance. To learn whether TMJ treatment can help you, please call (610) 272-0828 for an appointment with a Philadelphia TMJ dentist at Dental Excellence of Blue Bell today.

In this workshop, we'll explore why form is relevant for contemporary poets, and how we can take advantage of form to strengthen both traditional and free-verse poems. Poetic form isn't just meter and rhyme--it encompasses a diverse range of vessels that poems can inhabit. Form can help focus our poems, and reinforce a tone beyond our written words. When we have writer's block, form can give us direction on how to keep writing. Over the six weeks of this workshop, we'll write in several forms, and explore what content works well with different types of forms.

De Waele, Jo Hilaire Agnes and Mucedda, Mauro and Montanaro, Luca (2009) Morphology and origin of coastal karst landforms in Miocene and Quaternary carbonate rocks along the central-western coast of Sardinia (Italy). Geomorphology, Vol. 106 (1-2), p. 26-34. ISSN 0169-555X. Article.

DOI: 10.1016/j.geomorph.2008.09.017
In the area of Punta Funtanas (Arbus, Central-West Sardinia) some small surfaces of Miocene limestones crop out, partially covered with Quaternary calcarenites and Plio-Quaternary basalts. The biggest of these outcrops forms a fossil wave-cut shore platform of up to 50 m wide with an altitude above sea level of approximately 4–5 m. On this platform a wide variety of dissolution landforms can be observed. These morphologies are related to the influence of the seawater (zone of wave action, marine splash and spray zone, up to progressively more continental environments) and to biokarst processes (erosional action of marine organisms, algae and micro-organisms) and are arranged in bands parallel to the coast, corresponding to different morphological zones. This paper describes all the karst landforms observed in this coastal area from a morphological and genetic point of view.

Weekly Recap
by Matt Naber | Aug 06, 2018
The first week of August brought $1.78 million worth of PRCA action, as cowboys competed at 33 rodeos across North America.
The fastest times and highest scores might not always make the record book, but they make a lasting memory for fans and competitors. With about 650 PRCA competitions across the Western Hemisphere each year, there are plenty of opportunities to make a memorable ride.
Although the prize money differs from one competition to the next, the judging remains consistent across the board.
In addition to the fame that comes with winning the most prize money, each ride was a chance to be the best of the week. Here's a look at the highest scores and fastest times for each event during that period.
Bareback rider Seth Hardwick made a 90-point ride on Frontier Rodeo's Gunfire at the Dodge City (Kan.) Roundup Rodeo, Aug. 5.
Steer wrestler Kalane Anders clocked in at 3.5 seconds at the Douglas County Fair and Rodeo in Castle Rock, Colo., Aug. 3.
Two sets of team ropers made 4.0-second runs this week. Clay Tryan and Travis Graves made their run at Kansas' Biggest Rodeo in Phillipsburg, Aug. 2. Derrick Begay and Cory Petska made their run at the Mountain Valley Stampede in Heber City, Utah, Aug. 4.
Saddle bronc rider Allen Boore made a 93-point ride on Burch Rodeo's No. 873 at the Home on the Range Champions Ride in Sentinel Butte, N.D., Aug. 4.
Two tie-down ropers made 7.5-second runs this week. Jake Pratt made his run at the Northeast Montana Fair & Rodeo, Aug. 1. Cody Craig made his run at the Big Sky Pro Rodeo Roundup in Great Falls, Mont., Aug. 3.
Steer roper Tuf Cooper made a 9.3-second run during the third round of the Dodge City Roundup Rodeo.
Barrel racer Rebecca Weiner made a 14.4-second run at the Gerry (N.Y.) Volunteer Firemen's Rodeo, Aug. 4.
Bull rider Braden Richardson made a 91-point ride on Andrews Rodeo's Dirty White Boy at the Wild Bill Hickok Rodeo in Abilene, Kan., Aug. 4.

The Minneapolites
While visiting and rediscovering your love for Minneapolis during the summer, can you imagine a better way to spend your time than taking pictures for a group of girls who blog about their love of Minneapolis all year round? I can't.
The Minneapolites are four fabulous ladies - Kristin, Elizabeth, Sam and Sarah - who write about "how to live well in Minneapolis, and on the cheap"; they blog about the best places to eat and shop, as well as great activity and lifestyle ideas. It's Minneapolis lovin' done right.
Kristin was a coworker of mine when I still lived in the Twin Cities, and she reached out to me about doing a session while I was at home last week. I'm so glad she did; it was fantastic to hang out with these four and visit some of their favorite spots around Minneapolis to snap some photos for their blog. They have a wonderful energy, and the conversation flowed effortlessly - also, have you seen four more stylish women? They rocked it in front of the camera.
Keep up the great work, Minneapolites, and thanks for such a fun session!
Check out the Minneapolites on their web site, and follow them on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & Pinterest.

This week has been one of planning "mindfulness" presentations for audiences of early educators, K-12 teachers, college communities and parents in Vermont, Massachusetts and California. Having heard the Dalai Lama speak at Middlebury College last Friday, I'm reminded of the wisdom traditions of the world and how they might offer tools for navigating this new century. His Holiness spoke of the need for "educating the heart" and creating "secular ethics".
While religions of the world have provided solace and moral direction, they have also brought conflict, pain and confusion. Meditation, through a calm awareness, has a role in helping us to see more clearly and beyond habits of the mind. Author and educator, Tobin Hart, found through research that "the wise" spent time in the wilderness; sometimes literally in the woods or on a desert, but always in the silent wilderness of their inner being.
In that contemplative way a certain sanctuary is created where one can feel inwardly safe and sure…able to open the heart and develop an ethical compass. Today we are all in such a hurry and there is so much "noise" that wisdom can be difficult to find.

It has been almost four years since one of the most remarkable men I have ever known left this world to be with Jesus. Don Normand blessed my life in so many ways and I shall be forever greatful to God for giving me such a friend. Don was a Father to me in the absence of my own Dad. He was a spiritual mentor and pastor to me in the ministry. His example of loving people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ set the bar very high for me. He was by far the greatest soul winner I have ever been blessed to know personally. He won souls by the thousands in mass evangelism meetings, revivals and crusades, and one on one. He never met a stranger and never backed away from a challenge. I learned much by watching him work. He was a man's man. A great outdoorsman, he could fish, hunt, swim, fight, and joke with the best in the world. He was friend to Presidents, Kings, Generals, wealthy business people, Rabbis and Priests, common laborers and children. A great story teller and humorists, he was able to hold large audiences spellbound until he landed them safely into his gospel net. He loved Jesus with a passion. One of his last words to me was, "I cannot wait to see my King Jesus". His only regret was in leaving his beloved Cindy behind but he knew Jesus and their children would take good care of her. I learned much from this man about a lot of things. The fact that he included me as a part of his family and circle of friends is one of the greatest honors in my life. I truly miss him! I often find myself wondering what he is doing up there (with a big smile on my face).
Thank you Lord for Don Normand!

Marking Time by April White
4 stars!
"I loved history, any kind of history, and even better if it was hidden, secret, or underground."
You know you enjoyed a book when you made an entire pinterest board inspired by it. And I don't even use pinterest very often, so there.
Marking Time is a book my friend Wendy told me to read AGES ago and I always meant to. Then my friend Cyndi told me to read it. Then I met April herself (who is lovely). Then Penny Reid also recommended it. And yet I waited:
SO I FINALLY READ IT!!!! Thanks for the recs ladies!!! And it was wonderful!
Marking Time is about a teenage girl named Saira who discovers she has the ability to travel through time when she time travels to London in the time of Jack the Ripper. Thus begins a race to find her mother and save her before it's too late. Along the way Saira meets the enchanting Archer, a student, who explains the Immortal families to her and Saira discovers some shocking truths about who she really is.
"Then my rescuer turned to look at me and I felt his eyes reach right down into my guts and tangle them up in knots. With that look I knew I'd jumped straight from the kettle into the fire."
My undergraduate degree is in general history and something that bugs me a lot of the time in books with historical aspects is when facts are not correct (even though I don't really use that degree anymore). So I was blown away by the amount of research White must have done for this book because there was not one single moment where I thought to myself "this would have never happened". NOT ONCE. I mean, it is a fantasy book so of course not everything is realistic. But on the historical details she nailed it.
I really enjoyed this book, it was so refreshing to read something unique and original. It's not quite a YA book despite being a young adult, and it's not quite a romance novel despite there being a sweet romantic storyline that made me smile. What you get is an action packed adventure story that you won't ever forget. I also love the potential this series has and cannot wait to pick up the other books and read them.
I think taking forever to read this book worked out in my favor a bit as the fifth book releases soon so I can read them all at once. It's another reason YOU should pick up this book. AND this book is FREE on amazon. So what are you waiting for?
"'Perhaps your friendship with your mother is just shifting to something more… adult.' That felt like a huge responsibility. If I forgave my mother for hiding the truth from me, then I had to totally own my part in our relationship. I couldn't play the little girl anymore. I couldn't hide behind her authority and rules and then get mad when they didn't fit. I'd have to make my own choices and take charge of my own well-being. It's one thing to say 'I'm old enough to make my own rules' and it's a totally different thing to make the right ones. And live by them."

Relationships for life
The Relationship Principle: The Power of Supportive People
We all need someone to believe in us, encourage us when we have setbacks, and ultimately celebrate success with us. But such relationships are rare: 25% of people say they have no close connections. 50% of marriages will end in divorce. 70% of employees dislike their boss and don't care about their coworkers. Love, friendship and teamwork are in short supply.
The study of people engaged in successful relationships shows that they:
- generate 5 positive interactions for every 1 negative encounter
- use Inquiry to gather facts and an understanding of the other person's perspective before advocating their own point of view
- develop an appreciation of what Others need in conjunction with their own desired outcome in order to work out a win-win solution
- find a mentor or hire a Positive Psychology Coach if they need help
Consider your own ratio of positive/negative feelings that you're experiencing, for that's what determines the emotions that you bring into your relationships. In the last 24 hours count the number of times you felt irritated, humiliated, contempt, disgust, embarrassed, guilty, distrust, sadness, stress, or fearful. Then calculate the number of time you felt amused, amazed, appreciative, encouraged, inspired, curious, joyful, loved, proud, or peaceful. Is your own positive/negative ratio above the 5/1 threshold?

Tonight's game at the Toyota Center is going to be insane!
This will be a matchup for the "insanity" ballers: "Vinsanity" and "Linsanity." The former is Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Vince Carter, who already has 15 years of league ball under his belt. The latter is Houston Rockets point guard Jeremy Lin, who is about to tip off his second season with Houston out of his fourth in the NBA.
Upon the Mavs' return to Texas from last week's out-of-state preseason games, they blast off in Rockets nation.
Both of these "Lone Star State" teams have three victories going into the third week of this 2013 preseason.
The Mavs have a 3-0 record on the road this preseason with an 0-2 mark at home thus far. They were beaten by the New Orleans Pelicans, thanks to turnovers, and the Orlando Magic also got the best of them in a less than magical outing. They did manage to defeat the Memphis Grizzlies, after minimizing turnovers, and got wins over the Indiana Pacers and the Charlotte Bobcats, also on the road.
The Rockets also lost to the Pelicans in their preseason home opener but have come back with victories for the rest of their preseason games. Most recently, they won at home last Wednesday night, against the Magic, the former team of their new center, Dwight Howard, the "D12" alias who Dallas had also pursued when he left the Los Angeles Lakers last season.
The second half of the first preseason week leading into the first half of the second week were of international variety for Houston and Indy. Their overseas voyage treated the former more favorably with victories because it won both its exhibitions against the latter. First, the Rockets won as the guest team in Manila Philippines, my native country. Next, as the host team in Taipei, Taiwan, "Linsanity" put it down in his motherland.
Perhaps flying the friendly skies all the way to Asia provided the Rockets with opportunity to rest after its first home game Stateside. That could be both a disadvantage, with a long break after a long trip, and an advantage, if they used their off-game days to practice for this week. After hosting the Mavs tonight, they will visit the other Texas team, San Antonio Spurs, who are this year's Western Conference Champions. Then they will leave Texas to visit the Grizzlies before returning to Houston to host the Bobcats.
The Mavs' pros include having PG Jose Calderon back from injury as he helped the team tip their preseason win-loss record at two apiece to the winning side of the scale when he made his Dallas debut in Charlotte this past Saturday. Plus, Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle has played more reserves while resting certain healthy key players to preserve their vitality, including "Vinsanity" against Indy last Wednesday. That was when small forward Shawn Marion, a.k.a. "The Matrix," set the pace by leading in scoring, after he sat last Monday's game against Orlando.
Tonight's projected Mavericks starters include my dubbed-Dynamic Duo, "Nowellis," power forward Dirk Nowitzki and shooting guard Monta Ellis, as well as SF Marion, center Samuel Dalembert and PG Calderon.
Houston's projected first five lineup, aside from the aforementioned center "D12" and PG "Linsanity," consists of PF Chandler Parsons, SF Terrance Jones and SG James Harden.
Oklahoma City Thunder SF Kevin Durant, former teammate of Harden, commended the trademark-soul patched guard as one of the top 10 players in the NBA, as opposed to divo/drama king-"King LeBron James" sidekick guard Dwyane Wade of the 2012-13 NBA Champions, the Miami Heat, who the Mavs beat in the 2011 NBA Finals.

Had a great weekend up in Glencoe meeting up with old and new faces from OutdoorsMagic.com. We had Friday off so decided to head up and do Meall a' Bhuiridh and Criese, two Munros that Elaina hadn't done. In the event we only did Meall a' Bhuiridh as we spent so much time chatting to a couple of other walkers. Not a particularly exciting hill what with all the skiing infrastructure about but there were some interesting bits…
We arrived at Signal Rock Cottage just after 4pm. We've stayed here before and after a chat with Slawek and Luiza we had a quick shower before heading for the Clachaig Inn for dinner. Eventually the rest of the crowd arrived although we did have to bring Polly the Parrot out to attract some of the OM folk who were on their first meet! Highlight of the night had to be the arrival of Sir Jimmy Savile! Have to say he's looking well for someone who's going to be 83 in a few weeks time!
Saturday morning saw reasonable weather to start with as some of us met at Mamore Lodge.
We set off along the landrover track with the aim of doing Binnein Beag. It's a long walk in to the remotest of the Mamore Munros and it wasn't long until we realised as we approached Loch Eilde Mor that we had walked past the turn off that takes you around the shoulder of Sgurr Eilde Beag. A quick re-assessment saw us take the path up the east side of the Allt Coire nan Laogh (a route we had taken in reverse last winter when the stream was in spate!). We eventually got back on the planned route and carried on towards Coire an Lochain below Sgurr Eilde Mor. The weather had deteriorated by this time and Sandy and Louise decided to make Louise's first Munro Sgurr Eilde Mor rather than Binnein Beag.
The rest of us carried on hoping for the weather to clear and with immaculate timing it did as we approached Binnein Beag.
We did have discussions about going on to do Binnein Mor but the weather was still being temperamental and the realisation that it would probably add a good couple of hours to the day made it an easy decision to take the long path back to Kinlochleven for Haggis Fritters and Steak and Chips at the MacDonald Hotel!
It was late by the time we got back to Glencoe and the campers decided to stay at the camp site. Elaina and I headed for the Clachaig planning to meet Ian Gallagher of Kendall Mountaineering Services who had taken three OMers scrambling on Ben Nevis. Unfortunately the pub was mobbed and we didn't realise that they had decided to go through to the Lounge Bar. So we just had the one pint before heading back to the B&B.
Sunday saw ourselves, Sandy and Louise heading for Glen Nevis and a walk up to Steall Falls and a play on the wire bridge!
On the way back we were interviewed by someone from the John Muir Trust who were doing a survey to find out if people thought the path to Steall was appropriate. There have been several accidents, some fatal, and the Trust are looking to be able to justify not making changes to the path. Hopefully our response will assist in that aim as it would be crazy if health and safety concerns led to "improvements" being imposed!
Sunday night saw us back in the Clachaig for a really excellent night with a dozen of us staying on to the bitter end of a cracking weekend. It's a good sign when you are having to be chucked out of the Clachaig at closing time on Sunday night!
On Monday we all headed home but not before we introduced Iain to the joys of the Real Food Cafe! Two egg and bacon rolls, a very large coffee and a large hot chocolate later (and that was just for Iain!) we parted company with plans already in hand for the next OM meet in Great Langdale in the Lakes.
Got home and watched a recording of Sunday night's "Munro – Mountain Man" programme in which I made a fleeting out of focus appearance in the background of the Clachaig Inn as Nick Crane was interviewing folk for the programme – you'd think I was never out of the place!

There is a growing movement on the Internet. That movement is to bring to an end an era. That era is known as Internet Explorer 6. For those who don't know what Internet Explorer 6 is, its called a Web Browser or a program that you use to visit web pages like this. Surprisingly many people don't know what a web browser is, they just know you click on the Blue E to get on the Internet. This program is more commonly known as IE6
"Why is this a problem?" you ask.
IE6 is nine years old. In computer terms this is ancient. It is buggy, prone to hackers and others who want to do ill-will to your computer.
Internet standards have evolved considerably and there are many new features that web developers could use to make your Internet experience much better. Today's browsers are hundreds of times faster when working with sites like Facebook and YouTube. And IE6 is filled with quirks that take web developers considerably longer to work around.
With the new features available to web developers, we can produce some extraordinary experiences for you. Making them work in IE6 seriously limits our ability to make your Internet time the best that it can be. For the betterment of the Internet we need everyone who can upgrade do so. Several major sites have announced that they will no longer be supporting IE6.
IE6 users represent around 20% of web users, so most people have upgraded. However for this blog, around 50% of you are still using IE6.
We know that there are several reasons why you cannot upgrade to a more modern browser. Perhaps your computer is running an operating system older than Windows 2000. Perhaps you are accessing this site from a computer at work where your IT department has it locked down. Those reasons are hard to deal with. The other reasons you might not is you fear change or you feel you lack the skill to install new software.
In the latter case, Microsoft certainly has not built Windows as a platform to make that easy. Its full of technical mumbo-jumbo and scary, multiple step processes that are indeed frightening. For your benefit, you should not let these two reasons from keeping you from a better Internet.
Firefox 3.5
Firefox is a very fast, reliable, stable browser and its the most flexible and expandable.
Apple Safari
Safari is the fastest and most standard browser available, though it has fewer add-ons compared to Firefox
Google Chrome
Google Chrome is based on the same engine as Apple Safari, so it is very fast and has good standards support, but its the newest player and isn't as expandable.
Internet Explorer 8
IE8 is the latest browser from Microsoft. It is much better than IE6 with standards support and is quite fast.
Note: Installing IE8 will replace your IE6 installation. Installing the other browsers will just add their functionality to your system.
Leave a comment below about what browser you use and why? Also take the poll in the sidebar!

How to Be Single
|Release Date:
|February 11, 2016
|Review Date:
|February 11, 2016
|Blake Leath
I saw this one solely because the time was convenient and I knew nothing about it! In fact, without my readers on, I couldn't quite tell from the poster who starred.
Fortunately, it had Leslie Mann, who dolls up nearly everything she's in, particularly The Other Woman.
How to Be Single, however, is very ho-hum.
The target demographic appears to be women with wine, as I believe I was the only man in a theater of perhaps eighty gals who were both loud and proud to be out for Ladies' Nite. The film felt way too Carrie Bradshaw for my taste(s), with two or three funny lines surrounding alleged fortune cookie wisdom, but primarily striking me as an homage to loss and loneliness.
Dakota Johnson does not harm herself here, which seems like progress for a budding career that began on shifting sand. Alison Brie continues her character from Mad Men and Community. Nicholas Braun and Anders Holm play louses (lice?), precisely as Holm did in The Intern. Jake Lacy, picking up where he left off in Love the Coopers, is a goofy, adorable, jock-like man-thing, something equivalent to Bonanza's Hoss. Jason Mantzoukas approaches funny, but tries too hard and falls short. Colin Jost's teeth make an appearance, pearly, plentiful and proud, as always. And Rebel Wilson, playing the same character from Pitch Perfect, Bridesmaids, and Night at the Museum is running perilously near pigeon-holing herself as a one-speed lawnmower. "I'm the funny fatty," she remarked recently, and if she's not careful she'll wind up at the bottom of a rabbit hole from which her career cannot escape alive. She strikes me as quite talented, but she—like Melissa McCarthy—must remain vigilant, always guarding against being typecast as one-trick ponies (like Chris Farley). Each can achieve this best, one supposes, by diversifying (like Jonah Hill), and posthaste.
Story-wise, here's my chief complaint: it's exceedingly circular and repetitive, à la Groundhog Day (which, to be clear, is a far superior film). We find ourselves at five or six separate Happy Hours, in particular, and I felt woefully disconnected from those years and that drama onscreen. It really does seem to go on and on and on, finally ending in a Wild sort of way, which is telegraphed so loudly early on that you'll come to see it as the only possible light at the end of the tunnel but worry that it is, indeed, an oncoming train.
Anyhoo, How to Be Single will be gone in a flash, a lite belch with no aftertaste. It was, at most, a Valentine affair anyway, and now that February 14th has come and gone, so too will the sentiment.
Soon enough, we'll find ourselves in the March-April Dry Spell, typically the two bleakest movie months of any given year, a proverbial Death Valley between Oscar contention and May action, and the season which usually dredges up flicks by the likes of Liam Neeson, Nicolas Cage, and Selena Gomez.
To survive, keep your eyes on May. It's always prettier come spring.

The Cold War
Back when my daddy was a kid their was this war calld the cold WAr. It was between america and rusha and it was really bad. It was so bad that my daddy said he used to hide under his desk at skool ro rusha woodint see him.
It all started when Rusha killed the Zar and started to have a communism. A guy named Lemon started it all but he died and they froze him like Walt Disney. A communism ment that everyone had to be poor and wear silly clothes like fuzzy hats with ear muffs and not be jewish. Once everyone was poor and not jewish they made this thing called a spudnick and shot it out into space. Everyone in america got freaked becuz the rusha had a spudnick and we didn't.
But then we remembered that we had a bunch of nucleer mistles and rusha didn't. We started to make lots and lots of them and also a lot of desks for our dads to hide under in school. There was this guy called Krucheff who was king of rusha and he didn't like president jfkenidy. He got so mad at him one time that he took off his shoo and made jfkenidy smell it. Then becuz he was a bad guy, he sent all his nucleer mistles to cuba which is near porto reeco where my family goes for vacayshun.
The guy that ran cuba was this guy named fiddle castro and he was bad too. Luckily, we put a bunch of pigs in their bay and they gave up and took all the mistles away. Someone got so mad that they killed jfkenidy and everyone got the day off from school. My dad said it was sad becuz kenidy was a cathlic like we are and nobody gives any dam respect to an irish cathlic, dam it. Then daddy drank a lot.
Know what else was bad? There was this guy called mCCarthy and he was in our goverment. He said that everybody was a "rooskie" and a "cummie" and he got a lot of people in trouble. He had a list that he wouldnt show anyone which is like when my mom gets me a present for Christmas but she wont show it to me till Christmas even thoo she got it after thanksgiviving. mCCarthy was a dork and noone liked him and when he was all like "'the army has cummies in it.' They were like "'no way, dork' and then nobody listen to him anymore and he drank himself to death like Mom says Dad is gonna do someday.
The cold wAR lasted a long time but nobody got killed even thoo it was a really bad war to have. It ended in 1989 which is when I was born which is why I don't have to hide from spudnick under my desk at skool. Rusha is still around and its way big too, but they don't have as many nucleer mistloes anymore. They have a king now named Poopin and hes not as mean as the old ones. They are all still poor too but we aren't becuz my famly has 3 cars and 2 dogs and a swiming pool.

I was recently asked by a client how to get rid of ants in the lawn. I have to admit that this is a difficult subject to tackle. A plague of ants in the lawn can be uncomfortable at best and at worst will destroy the lawn by creating mounds of finely tilled earth that can kill the grass.
There are proprietary branded products on the market that are supposedly good at killing ants, but from experience they have no use in the lawn as the ants do not take them back to the nest, which is what needs to happen in order to stop this problem. An old wives tale states that boiling water poured onto the nest will do the trick, but to be honest if you want a scorched lawn and a more visible ant's nest, then this is the path for you. The problem here is the nest will be deep underground so the trick is to upset the natural balance.
Personally, I have found that the best action is a multiple approach.
The first approach is to buy a besom or a Town and Country stiff brush and just brush the mounds away; making sure the soil is dry first of course. If the soil is wet, you get an ugly smear so best wait, or instead hose the mound away. The idea here is the ants do not like to be disturbed and you will give the local jays and robins some food into the bargain.
The second phase, given the British weather is usually damp, is to dress the nest with a mixture of Armillotox and water from a watering can (follow the instructions carefully). The scent will put the ants off the lawn altogether as they communicate by chemical smell, but this may take a summer of repeat treatment to work.
Finally, there is the ultimate solution. Buy borax powder from the hardware shop and mix it with a sugar solution, making sure it is not entirely dissolved. (A sugar solution is basically a cup of water mixed with two table spoons of sugar). Place the mixture next to the nests in a small open container. The worker ants will take the concoction deep into the nest and will unwittingly poison their sisters. If the sugar solution proves too hard, mix the borax with honey. Please be aware, when dealing with poisons, be sure to wear suitable clothing and to make sure it is safe from harming others - children and pets should be kept away from the areas.
If all goes well the ant problem will disappear never to return.

The Dangers of Pulling Out of a HDB BTO Flat Purchase
Have you thought of the risks involved from pulling out a BTO flat purchase? If not, read this post extracted from MoneySmart's Blog to have a clearer picture of the losses you can incur from backing out.
It was not so long ago when getting allocated a HDB Built-to-Order ("BTO") flat was as difficult as striking the lottery. Hence, it was not uncommon for dating couples to submit an application for a new flat just for fun, since it was so difficult to get one anyway. And the cost of doing so was pretty negligible, just $10. Stories of friends who were serious about settling down but vexed with failing to get a BTO after 6-7 tries (over 1-2+ years) were not uncommon. If only one could trade options for BTO… you can imagine how hot the market would be.
Fast forward to today, things have improved and the backlog of first-time BTO applicants has largely been cleared. Getting allocated a BTO is no longer so difficult. However, for couples who apply under the Fiance/Fiancee scheme, keeping the BTO or the relationship for that matter hasn't gotten easier. Statistics show that 22% of those who apply for BTOs subsequently give it up within the next 4 years. 1 in 5 couples is quite a high statistic.
Sometimes, life happens. Despite the best intentions, relationships don't work out. And due to the peculiarity of our system, many couples do ballot for flats before they get married, some even before the proposal. BTOs take a few years to build, during which time most of these couples do register for their marriages and collect the keys to their BTOs. However, what happens to couples who break up?
There are a few scenarios, depending on when the decision to give up the flat happens.
Scenario 1: You pull out of purchasing your BTO after selecting a flat unitAt this stage, you have gone for your HDB appointment to select a particular unit. The HDB officer briefs you on the procedures and financing options, including applying for a HDB loan. You pay a $2,000 option fee for a 4-5 room flat or $1,000 for a 3-room flat.
Basically, what you have now is the option to a brand new BTO. Substantial consideration has probably gone into choosing your ideal block, floor, facing and unit number for the estate you had initially balloted for. Depending on your queue number, you may have had choice pickings if you are at the front of the queue, one of many average units if you are somewhere in the middle, or if your queue number exceeds the number of units available, you hoped and prayed that people before you would give up on the selection so you would get a unit. Or you may pass on this round and ballot again in the next new launch of BTOs in order to select a choice unit.
It will probably be up to 4 months before your next appointment to sign the Agreement for Lease with HDB.
What happens if you pull out now?
- You forfeit your $1,000 or 2,000 option fee, and
- You are barred for ONE year from the date of cancellation of your BTO before you can apply for another BTO, including DBSS, EC; or a resale flat with CPF housing grant or which has been announced for SERS.
So you lose some money, and incur a one-year opportunity cost before you are able to select a HDB flat again.
Scenario 2: You pull out of purchasing your BTO after signing the Agreement for Lease before collection of keysNow, this starts to get serious.
If you pull out of your BTO flat purchase after signing the Agreement for Lease, you stand to lose:
- 5% of the flat purchase price,
- Any expended legal and stamp fees, and
- You are barred for ONE year from the date of cancellation of your BTO before you can apply for another BTO, including DBSS, EC; or a resale flat with CPF housing grant or which has been announced for SERS.
- Not to mention, if you have signed on a bank's letter of offer, you may be subject to cancellation penalties.
Pulling out of a HDB BTO purchase can potentially burn $10k to $30k of your hard-earned money.
Not to mention potential penalties from cancelling any mortgage taken from your bank. Cancellation fees can be a % of your mortgage amount. Assuming a 80% loan, and a 1.5% cancellation fee, this can incur another $2.4k to $4.8k monetary loss for you.
Not a pretty picture. For DBSS or EC, forfeiting a unit would incur even more severe losses of 20% of your purchase price, instead of 5% for HDB BTOs. Of course it would be better to be certain of your relationship before applying for and signing the Agreement for Lease. However, such things are easier said than done. One can only take comfort in the fact that money lost can be earned again. Relationships lost can be built again. Also, if you were to half the losses among both parties, it could make it less painful.

Great app easy to use however I think its a little pricey, Id like to see a little more for the money.
This app is great~! If you're like me, you may not know exactly what should be in a press kit. Every 5 years or so, someone may ask for it, but I never have one. Now I have the framework to build it and the ease to do it in my "spare time". The fill-in questionnaire style format makes it easy to do over time. I love that it is chunked down into smaller sections so you can accomplish something even in the first few minutes of having the app. The rest will take a little time to amass for most of us: testimonials, awards, etc. So you can hit the ground running and get started right away. I wasn't charged anything and I'm really grateful for this app. Thank you~!

That's the sad, sad truth; I don't have the money for it. Weirdly enough, I don't think I'll ever have the money to buy all the new releases right when they come out. Maybe it's my stingy Dutch upbringing (is that seriously still what foreigners believe btw?), but I just don't think it's worth it to buy them as soon as they come out. Is that just me?
There are so many books that I want to read, and so many that I've never even heard of that are probably amazing. A whole bunch of those can be gotten from second hand stores (if you want to own a copy), a library or friends. Sure, I can (in the future) spend all of my hard earned money on new shiny books. But there's no guarantee that they'll make me happier than all those well-loved books waiting in the second hand stores. Thus, I like to save my money and be very picky about the books I pre-order. After all, the next big thing in bookland is always right around the corner.
What do you think? Do you want all (or most) of the new releases as soon as they come out, and do you then also buy them all? Or do you find (just like me) that sometimes money is better spend on things that are not books? Let me know in the comments below!

Bottle caps are very efficient for their intended purpose but they are a pretty useless item once removed. Squeeze a little fun out of them before you throw the little metal crowns away, with the Cap Zappa! As well as opening bottles, the Cap Zappa can launch them into the air and shoot them at a distance of over 5 meters. Perfect at parties and as part of drinking games, pop the cap, aim and fire, but do be careful where you shoot. Launching things into the air never loses its novelty factor!

iPhone OS 3.1.2 jailbroken on all Apple Devices
And Geohot does it again. After delays with the Dev Team's reds0wn (Windows jailbreak application) for iPhone OS 3.1(.2) many people wondered if we would ever see a Windows jailbreak for the iPhone 3G S and OS 3.1.2. Well tonight at a little past midnight it happened. George Hotz released his new blackra1n jailbreak. This new software is a "30 second ALL device 3.1.2 jailbreak." He does caution that you cannot update to 3.1.2 on the 3G and 3G S using iTunes if you want to maintain an unlocked phone but that otherwise this is the tool you have been waiting for (me included). I grabbed it just after it was released and began the tack of not only upgrading but jailbreaking my iPhone 3G S.
It actually tool longer to update the phone than it did to jailbreak it. To maintain my applications I used AptBackup and made a backup of my phone before the upgrade. I downloaded and installed the new 3.1.2 using iTunes (I am not interested in unlocking). After the update and the backup restore I ran blackra1n. Time from beginning to end;
2 minutes to download iPhone OS 3.1.2,
4 minutes to upgrade iPhone 3G S from OS 3.0.1 to 3.1.2
34 seconds to jailbreak my iPhone 3G S without a hitch in Window 7 Ultimate x64.
If you have an iPhone of any flavor now is your chance to finally enjoy your iPhone free of Apple's and AT&T's stifling grip.

How to Get to a Brighter Tomorrow
Posted by
Parents often invest a considerable amount of time involved in their child's education. This morning I spent an extra 25 - 30 minutes at my child's school after drop off. Today's agenda looked like the following: check in with my son's fourth grade teacher regarding the research project due tomorrow, speak to the nurse regarding medication and its side effects; and touch base with all to ensure that our child is in a position to succeed. I haven't had coffee yet!
The business of this morning, though, is the norm. I probably spend extra time 2-3 days a week at my son's school because of check-ins, scouting, volunteering, chaperoning field trips or visits for parent invited activities. This time, of course, doesn't include time my spouse may spend. We truly feel that the time we spend at our son's school is very beneficial to his success in a rigorous environment.
My husband and I often wonder how parents who perhaps have less flexibility in their work do all of this. We recognize that we operate from a seat of relative privilege; our resources and schedules allow us to be involved in our son's education in a meaningful way. But what about our fellow community members who even if they very much want to be more involved, just cannot? How do we even begin to ask the right questions about these issues?
My husband comes from a family where his mother earned both a bachelor's degree and a master's degree as did her two sisters. Although our household represents four total college level degrees, I am empathetic to the needs of underprivileged students, and my passion for the disenfranchised and under-prepared in our communities runs deep. I am a first generation college graduate. As I knew that it would, attending Indiana University changed my life. Graduating from IU allowed me to give back for many years to the non-profit organization that helped me to get into college. Years later I married a man who cares as much as I do about our community and families on the educational fringes.
We found ourselves in the Bedford Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, NY asking, "Why shouldn't parents and children in that community be able to access a quality education for their child"? That led us to try to open a quality charter school in that community. We returned to Indianapolis with yearning passion unquenched. We understand that it is important to use our voices to speak for the multitude with no voice. We still need answers to so many questions.
How do you know when your child is being failed by the school they attend? If you never had a positive personal school experience, where do you find the knowledge and ability to speak to your child's teachers and school leaders?
What courses should your child be taking to prepare for college? If college is not the proper option for your child, how do you help support their career in a skilled trade? How can you afford these options?
We have institutions and non-profits that are helping more young people, African Americans in particular, into colleges and universities. Now, research is showing that keeping them there through to graduation is the next challenge. What are the building blocks that keep students in college and successful to graduation?
I realize that I have raised several questions (and, yes, there are plenty more), but these questions have a purpose. These questions represent the dialogue that must be had in our community to improve our society. In this time of chatter about broken systems and politics, lives and futures are at stake. I find myself often overwhelmed by the responsibility of being my son's advocate in the area of his education. If I dare add the issues of gender (male) and race (African-American) it can take my breath away. I do believe that as Malcolm X said, "education is the passport to the future". I'm a living testimony to that fact.
How do we help others to prepare today for their brighter tomorrow? Share your thoughts in the comments below, and on social media using #AmGradIndy.

I know the prohibition of the use of 'design language' is de rigueur around the biological sciences but one can't help it. Those tiny proteins that are doing what they do -- reading instructions and carrying them out -- look like and are behaving like machines. Not only machines, but programmed machines. It's what prompted Nobel Prize winner Sir Francis Crick, after taking a look at the genetic code, to remark, "Biologists must constantly keep in mind that what they see was not designed, but rather evolved. " Biologists must keep reminding themselves, despite what their instincts and common sense are telling them, that these intricate processes occurring in cells are a result of random chance and necessity. But even his resolve about this wavered a bit when he advocated some sort of directed panspermia.

DNA Translation
Code, transcription, translation. There's no way around it. One has to use the language of computer programming and information technology to talk about this stuff. The genetic code is a set of specific instructions written using a 4-character alphabet (A,C,G,T) much like a machine code is written in binary. Then nanomachines read and translate the four-character machine code into a higher level code composed of 20 characters (the amino acids) which is then used to make proteins: enzymes, blood vessels, skin, hair... It's like translating this:
01010100 01101111 00100000 01100010 01100101 00100000 01101111 01110010 00100000 01101110 01101111 01110100 00100000 01110100 01101111 00100000 01100010 01100101to this:
To be or not to be
so it can be performed on stage by Patrick Stewart. And of course to do that youll need something like this. Even ignoring the obvious chicken-and-egg problem this presents, the origin of the genetic information is already a doozy for scientists and is probably getting them very excited.
Some guy called Bill Gates, who I heard knew something about computer code said, "DNA is like a computer program but far, far more advanced than any software ever created." ( In this book. Not to misrepresent Mr. Gates though. I bet he'd rather keep reminding himself that what he sees in DNA was not designed but rather evolved.)
Oh, and for the record, that idea that all those nanomachines in the cell are the result of random events that somehow fell together? I think it's BS.

What a wonderful day at the Museum of Liverpool. We found out about how our city has changed over time which links to our Geography topic.
Mrs Carlsen was blown away with the maturity of the children during our Philosophy for Children session. We asked the question – Does the perfect home exist? The debate started with the children talking about wealth and money in order to have the perfect home. The children took the debate to another level when they started talking about how perfect homes, are about family and relationships.
In our science lessons we are studying materials and their uses. We had fun examining the properties of materials.
We have had a great start to Year Five starting with a maths investigation!

Information For
College of Liberal Arts & Social Sciences > Academics > Catholic Studies > About > Faculty Spotlight > Paula McQuade
We sat down with Paula McQuade to discuss her forthcoming book Catechisms and Women's Writing in Seventeenth-Century England. McQuade is a Professor in the Department of English and an Affiliated Scholar in the Department of Catholic Studies. Her new book, published by Cambridge University Press, will be available July 2017.
Catechisms and Women's Writing in Seventeenth-Century England is a study of early modern women's literary use of catechizing. By studying female catechists, Paula McQuade shows how early modern women used the power and authority granted to them as mothers to teach religious doctrine, to demonstrate their linguistic skills, to engage sympathetically with Catholic devotional texts, and to comment on matters of contemporary religious and political import - activities that many scholars have considered the sole prerogative of clergymen.

Tiger Woods finishes one stroke back, but future triumphs seem likely
You believed. I believed. We all believed Tiger Woods was going to win on Sunday at the Valspar Championship, that he was going to sweep away a decade's worth of injuries and scandals with a stroke of his putter. It wasn't to be on this particular day … but Woods had a chance to win the tournament on the week's final hole, and not even the hardiest Tiger fanboys would have expected that as recently as four days ago.
Woods, who finished at -9 to winner Paul Casey's -10, spent the first three days of the Valspar, a tournament he'd never played before, lurking with the expert timing of a master showman, ascending the ladder with scores of 70, 68, and 67 to climb right to the top of the leaderboard. He held a share of the lead for a moment Saturday, and entered Sunday a single stroke behind Corey Conners. ("Corey who? Tiger will SMOKE him," you thought. So did we all.)
Sporting the familiar red-and-black, Woods stepped to the first tee at 1:50 p.m. local time. He'd entered the final round of a tournament within one stroke of the lead 69 previous times in his career, and he'd won 62 of those — an astonishing closing percentage. The 10-deep galleries, stuffed with "get in the hole" and "Bababooey" bros who'd come out of retirement, fully expected to see Woods step right over the bodies of his competitors like — to reference another 2000s icon — a striding Allen Iverson.
When Woods curled his eagle putt on 1 to within inches of the hole and tapped in for birdie, grabbing a share of the lead on a Sunday for the first time in forever, disbelief radiated. Could this really happen? Could we be looking at one of the all-time great comebacks in sports history?
Maybe, but it wasn't going to happen Sunday. The first indication that Woods wasn't on his game came on the fourth hole, when he slopped a 5-foot par putt past the hole to give back his birdie. And even his moments of swagger, like a gorgeously arcing tee shot on the 6th, didn't translate into on-card success.

— PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) March 11, 2018
Woods played competent, competitive golf for the rest of the afternoon, which is more than anyone had any right to expect prior to Thursday. But it wasn't good enough to keep pace with co-leaders Patrick Reed and Casey, and it wasn't bad enough to keep him out of the hunt until his final holes.
There were chances, so many chances. Woods left putt after putt on the course, none more painful than two long-but-makeable chances on 13 and 14. Had he converted either of those, he'd have been within a shot of the co-leaders, with opportunities to turn up the heat on the final holes. Woods rolled onward, unable to close the two-stroke gap at the top of the leaderboard.
And then — just to remind us of who we're still talking about here — Woods went and dunked a 44-foot birdie putt on 17 to get within a stroke of the co-leaders. He stood in the middle of the fairway on 18 with a chance to win the tournament outright, then stood over a putt with a chance to force a playoff with Casey, and who ever thought that would happen again?
So what undid Woods? Pressure? Perhaps. In the years after his scandal, Woods developed an ugly habit of collapsing on Saturdays at majors. (And then he stopped making cuts in majors, and then he stopped even playing in them.) How he'll do at Augusta, presumably his first major since 2015, remains to be seen, but at least at the Valspar, he seemed to harness the demons in his skull through the first three rounds. He wasn't able to convert the Sunday putts that he'd dropped all week, and that, in the end, undid him.
"I keep getting a little better and a little sharper," Woods said after the round. "I had a good shot at winning this golf tournament. A couple of putts here and there and it could've been a different story."
The astonishing putt on 17 aside, Woods didn't have much to offer on Sunday. But the fact that he was playing with a late Sunday tee time at all is a tremendous victory in itself. And it's a strong indication — not a hint, not a hope, but a thirty-foot-high neon sign — that Woods still has some career highlights ahead. And that's something that none of us expected.

Friday, 6th December.
The next excerpt from 'For Their Tomorrow' is reproduced below and introduces a major coincidence into the story, which will have repercussions throughout the rest of the novel and also far into the future.
In the same way Archibald Willoughby had stared down the twin barrels of a shotgun, completely unaware the gun was not loaded, Harry could not possibly have known that the presence of the man in the vicar's garden had absolutely nothing to do with Jessie. It was one of life's quirks – an alignment of coincidences; a mere brush of a stranger's hand in a crowded place. The truth was that Archibald Willoughby had been in Lyverton for a completely different reason. Despite being the keeper of nobility's dirty secrets, it was a reason that was entirely legitimate – well, at least it had been to begin with.
A group of people were milling about under the yellow orb of a gaslight at the end of the road as Harry approached the main street.
'Please, sir, he said to the policeman who seemed to have the situation under control. 'Can you come to the vicarage? We've just found a man in the garden – we thought he was drunk at first, out stone cold, but now the Reverend thinks he might be dead.'
'Not as dead at the woman in t'ouse over there,' replied the policeman, nodding in the direction of a row of thatched cottages. 'Been done to death, she 'as. Then 'ad a shovelful of ashes chucked over her to mop up the blood.'
Harry gulped. Could it be that Archibald Willoughby had something to do with the dead woman?
'What happened?' said Harry.
'Her ol' man caught her wi' some young toff, by all accounts, then bashed 'er 'ead in wi' the coal shovel when he came home full o' ale. He was caught down by the quarries. Been taken into custody. Now … what was it you were sayin'?
Take a look at this (click on this link) about some amazing coincidences. As the story unfolds in 'For Their Tomorrow' the reader will begin to wonder if they really ARE coincidences or if something else is at work – something no one fully understands. In 'The White Cuckoo' Tammy has a strong sense of the links with Jessie almost a hundred years previously.
"Synchronicity is the experience of two or more events, that are apparently causally unrelated or unlikely to occur together by chance, that are observed to occur together in a meaningful manner."
The concept of synchronicity was first described as above by Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung in the 1920s.
The concept does not question the notion of causality. Instead, it suggests that just as events may be grouped by cause, they may also be grouped by their meaning."
Throughout time, there have been numerous coincidences that connect the past with the present.
I find the topic fascinating, particularly one of the most famous examples involving Edgar Allan Poe. The synchronicity is manifested in Edgar Allan Poe's sea adventure novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym, when incredibly he appears to have written about an event that will happen in the future. The tale includes a scenario about three men and a sixteen-year-old boy who are drifting at sea in a lifeboat after being shipwrecked. Desperate, on the brink of starvation, they decide to draw lots to determine which of them will be killed and eaten. The cabin boy, Richard Parker, picks the dreaded short straw and is promptly stabbed and consumed. On July 25, 1884, forty-seven years after Poe stopped working on the novel, a 17-year-old cabin boy named Richard Parker was killed and eaten in an identical incident at sea. Richard Parker was on his first voyage on the high seas, boarding the Mignonette in Southampton bound for Australia. In the South Atlantic ocean it encountered a hurricane and sank. A few survivors managed to board a lifeboat, but it had few provisions and after 19 days the situation was desperate. The men discussed drawing lots to choose a victim who would be eaten by the others, but in the end agreed the victim would be Richard Parker, who had become seriously ill from drinking seawater. The remaining crew survived on Richard Parker's dead body for another thirty-five days until they were rescued by the S.S. Montezuma, coincidentally named after the cannibal king of the Aztecs.
The Richard Parker story is recorded as one the best 'coincidences' by author Arthur Koestler. Weirdly, the Richard Parker synchronicities have continued and a relative, Craig Hamilton-Parker, has a web site documenting them.
Yan Martel's 'The Life of Pi' was, of course, inspired by the Edgar Allan Poe story.
Have you any amazing examples of coincidence in your own life? I should love to hear about them if you have!

Witchcrafting: Crafts for Witches
Lynn Woike January, 2015
Candle Crafting
Merry meet!
Candles are a symbol of Imbolc, which is also known as Candlemas. With some advance planning, you could make your own this year.
The easiest way is to buy beeswax sheets and roll of square-braid wick. (The larger the finished candle will be, the larger size wick you'll want.)
You simply cut the sheet as wide as you want the height of the candle to be. A straight edge and a craft knife work well, but other items in your kitchen will also suffice. Cut the wick about an inch longer than the wax.
With a blow dryer, warm up one end of the sheet. Place the wick close to the edge and carefully fold the end of the wax over it and press it down. Warm the whole sheet, which will make it easier to roll the candle. (Candles can be made without the blow dryer as long as you are not working in cold conditions.) Carefully roll up the candle as tightly as possible, checking to make sure the edges are straight. Gently press the end of the sheet into the candle to seal it. Clip the wick to about 1/4 inch before lighting.
Concentrate on your intent while making your candles, perhaps chanting or first casting a circle. Dried herbs or scented oils can be sprinkled onto the wax before rolling.
With no previous experience, my first time I made several sets of votive-sized candles in the four directional colors that have served me well. I find it meaningful when the candles on my altar are ones that I've made.
Other candles that might interest you can be made by melting wax and pouring it into a mold or container. Pre-made candles can be customized by dipping them in wax to which oils, colors, herbs and crystals have been added.
A word of caution: wax is extremely flammable.
Merry part. And merry meet again.

Ambassadors Theatre.
West Street
(5mins) Take Cranbourn Street away from Leicester Square until St Martin's Lane, where you head left up to West Street. The theatre's on your left past St Martin's Theatre.
Age Restriction: Suitable for ages 14+
Following its previous appearance at the St James's Studio in 2013, Mike Davis and Rob Crouch's one-man show, Oliver Reed: Wild Thing, makes its way to the Ambassador's Theatre for two performances in April. Featuring Crouch in the role of Oliver Reed and with Kate Bannister directing, the show is likely to be as successful in its new West End home as it was at the St James's venue last August, where audiences with theatre tickets were able to journey through the life of one of great actors of the 20th century.
Oliver Reed appeared in a wide range of well known movies during his career, ranging from the likes of The Trap, The Three Musketeers, The Adventures Of Baron Muchausen and, his final role, Gladiator. The latter was released after his death in May 1999 and it led to a posthumous BAFTA for Best Supporting Actor. He is regarded as one of the greats of the 20th century and his work continues to be held in high regard to this day.
And bringing him to the stage of the Ambassador's Theatre will be Rob Crouch, who has previously appeared in short films and in Oliver Reed: Wild Thing at the St James's Studio. He will play the actor in a one-man performance in which he downs drinks and delivers his life story to the audiences of the West End. It is a stand-out performance from Crouch and one that will likely attract great praise in 2014.
Oliver Reed: Wild Thing appears at the regular home of Stomp, the Ambassador's Theatre, for performances on Tuesday 1st April 2014 and Tuesday 8th April 2014.

Whole Foods scrambled last week to deal with a flap over a Ramadan Halal foods promotion, in the wake of criticism by anti-Islam bloggers and subsequent accusations that the supermarket chain caved by backing away from the campaign.Here's what happened:
In a July 27th post on the official Whole Foods blog, a writer for the blog My Halal Kitchen talked up the store's selection of products from Saffron Road, a company that makes Halal frozen food products, and encouraged readers to check them out when preparing for Ramadan. There was no plan to market the partnership between Saffron Road and Whole Foods in stores, according to Fast Company reporter Neal Ungerleider, who initially wrote about the promotion.
But never ones to overlook Sharia creep into the food supply, a few right-wing bloggers picked up the story and blasted Whole Foods for promoting Islam.
On July 29, anti-Islam blogger and commentator Debbie Schlussel called Whole Foods "anti-Israel" and accused it of "whoring itself out to Islam for profits." Schlussel continued:
Here's a tip, Whole Foods: there is NOTHING "cosmopolitan" about Islam. In fact, Islam is the antonym to cosmopolitan. Retro is in. Retro back to the year 622 and the values of savages will NEVER be in.
Whole Foods . . . For the Organically Conscious Jihadist. Way more humane because, hey, "free range chickens" can run away from the IED. allahu natural fruitbar.
The right-wing sites Free Republic and Bare Naked Islam reposted the original Fast Company report — though Bare Naked Islam also suggested that "maybe we should send Whole Foods these videos of halal slaughter," and posted a number of said videos.
Shortly after, the Houston Press obtained a letter from one region — the Southwest Region, which oversees stores in Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma — that cites "negative comments from some [customers]" in backing away from the promotion. "While we want to continue with the program," the e-mail said, "it is probably best that we don't specifically call out or 'promote' Ramadan."
The e-mail adds: "We do need to hold off, however, on displaying any Ramadan signs in our store at this time."
The story went viral, and set off a slew of outraged blog posts and tweets, like this one from author and activist Reza Aslan (via The OC Weekly): "Thank you Whole Foods for caving to Islomophobic zealots & canceling #Ramadan promotion. Now can u get ur customers to wear deodorant?"
But Whole Foods has denied that it was backing off its campaign, and pointed out that the e-mail did not come from corporate leadership. Whole Foods PR representative Kate Lowery told the Houston Press: "To set the record straight, Whole Foods Market is NOT cancelling our current halal promotion, which is centered around the timeframe of Ramadan."
"We never sent a communication from our headquarters requesting stores take down signs at all," she continued. "We have 12 different operating regions and your [sic] reacted by sending out directions to promote Halal and not specifically Ramadan after some online negative comments and after viewing signage made by one individual at a store that didn't point to these products."
"Every region operates autonomously," spokeswoman Liz Burkhart also said, The Atlantic reports. "They have their own set of leadership, their own offices. Unfortunately one region reacted by sending out directions to promote halal and to focus less on specifically Ramadan because they got some negative online comments."
The Council on American-Islamic Relations came to Whole Foods' defense as well. "Whole Foods should be commended for reaching out to Muslim Americans consumers though its Ramadan promotion by being inclusive of various ethnic and religious traditons in America," said Munira Syeda, spokeswoman for CAIR's chapter in Greater Los Angeles.

There were flying snowballs, sitting snowmen and speeding skiers.
It was the year's first natural snow of the season, which brought up to 8 inches of snow this week to the San Bernardino Mountains.
Tire chains were required on Highway 330 above Snow Valley Mountain Resort in Running Springs, but that didn't stop locals and flatlanders alike from enjoying the fresh white stuff, building snowmen and tossing snowballs at each other on Friday, Nov. 30.
Resorts were gearing up for what they hope will be a busy season.
Bear Mountain Ski Resort already has opened for skiing. Officials at Mountain High Resort, which has yet to open, were hoping the new snow would allow an opening this weekend. Snow Valley is set to open soon, if weather conditions stay favorable.

October 21, 2001
Unable to work any longer, I got into bed and slept. The covers were hot and stuffy, but I was too far gone to think of removing them. Then the phone rang and it was J. She said she felt like a switch inside her had been turned on.
"I have a love/hate relationship with the switch," she said.
Later that night I dreamt that J said that the reason she'd been so distant was because I had mistaken her for someone else. Then she introduced to me to another woman, someone who did in fact resemble her. "This is the person you thought was me," she said.
The woman merely smiled.
It occurred to me that the two women hadn't necessarily told each other everything.

With school back in session its time for after school snacks! Here's a fun and healthy treat sure to please.
This green smoothie recipe has a mild sweet flavor. The spinach primarily provides the color, while the flavor comes from the banana and nut butter. And the nutrition is something you can feel good about feeding your kids.
- 2 cups fresh or frozen spinach
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 2 bananas, peeled and quartered
- 2 heaping tablespoons peanut butter (or your favorite nut butter)
- 1 teaspoon ground chia seeds or ground flaxseed (optional)
- Add the almond milk and spinach to your blender and blend until smooth.
- Add the rest of the ingredients in the order listed and blend again.
- Give it a taste!
- If you're serving this as smoothies, pour into glasses and enjoy. Or if you're making popsicles, pour into your favorite icy treat molds and freeze before eating.
Servings: 4 smoothies; popsicle count will vary based on size of your molds
At this point you can adjust the recipe to suit your individual tastes – more liquid, more fruit, even more nut butter. The important thing is that it tastes good to you and is good for you!
