If you've ever run a full 26.2 mile Marathon, then you surely have learned a great deal both about yourself and about what it really means to run a marathon. Although we all dream of crossing that finish line, the journey to get there is what it's really about. Here are 26 things I learned about running 26 miles.
- Although I love running more than anything, waking up at the crack of dawn every day makes me question my love of running.
- Even though I can run for hours straight, and like to believe I am made of steel, I will always inevitably be exhausted before the end of the day.
- It's uncomfortable asking even my closest of friends for donations in my fundraising efforts.
- Having the goal of a marathon gets rid of any shopping guilt on running gear and gadgets.
- My alcohol tolerance level went to non-existent. And I was alright with that.
- There is nothing worse than a long training run done on a treadmill.
- I was always sore and craving a massage no matter how much I stretched.
- Distance seriously gains a new perspective and hills become breakfast.
- Chafing is just a part of Marathon training that can't be fought and it comes in the most uncomfortable of places.
- A long run is the ideal time to my clear my mind and come up with solutions to world problems.
- I was secretly happy when I got injured because I finally got to rest without feeling bad about it.
- My playlist and the beat of my favorite songs is the only thing that can get me through a tough run.
- Eating properly for training is one of the hardest things to master. Too much carb loading leads to stomach problems while not enough leads to serious depletion.
- Checking the weather every few minutes as well as hoping it would change became my new obsession.
- I learned a comeback for everything anyone said against running such an unnatural distance.
- All runners are connected, and I really felt this through simple looks of approval, high fives or thumbs up from my fellow runners.
- My social life completely changed and I was always ready to be the first one to leave the party or fall asleep at the table.
- I got sick a lot and the miles challenged my immune system constantly.
- On early morning runs, I would see people coming back home from the night before. It made me appreciate where I was at, and also despise it at the same time.
- I discovered new parts of my city that I would have never otherwise found. Getting lost definitely had its advantages.
- I actually gained weight through Marathon training due to all the muscle gain, glycogen storage and desire to never move again after a long run.
- I will never have nice feet again, but that's the pride of being a distance runner.
- The big day is the often the only thing that kept me motivated and picturing the finish line. Also that Facebook post after.
- Tapering felt so wrong and scary.
- Running a marathon really means that impossible is nothing and gave me a new perspective on life and myself.
- Even after all the training, I still had thoughts of stopping during the Marathon. But there really is nothing like crossing the finish line, a feeling of satisfaction that lasts forever.

It is the responsibility of insurance companies to assist policyholders with their claims. Their duties include investigating damages, determining if the damages can be covered and paying the correct value for the damaged items or property. However, if an insurance company fails in its responsibilities by violating the duties put forth in its contract, is considered to be acting in bad faith.
If you feel that an insurance company isn't negotiating in good faith, what can you do to address this? Your first attempt to address insurance bad faith can be to write a bad faith demand letter. A bad faith demand letter is a formal written call to action to an insurer, explaining the bad faith practices that the insurer has engaged in; for example, improper investigation of, or the refusal to acknowledge, your claim.
A bad faith letter is written on behalf of a person, group of people or family that has signed the contract to be insured under a policy for a particular type of insurance, whether it be disability, life, health, earthquake, fire, flood, property, vehicle, homeowner, rental, title, liability, and more.
Writing a bad faith demand letter is the first step towards resolving your bad faith claim. Since a bad faith letter is written to point out the faults in practice that an insurance company has committed, the letter is most effective when it is detailed, brief and forceful. Your bad faith claim needs to be presented very clearly, with a thorough demand for action by the insurer.
Here is an example of the type of style and content that your bad faith letter should have, although more details should be added according to the specifics of your case.
To Whom it May Concern at X:
Please accept this letter as the claimant's formal written demand for the available policy limits in this case; i.e., $600,000.
We contend that your failure to offer the available policy limits to protect your insured, is an instance of bad faith. Please be advised that we are fully prepared to present the claimant's case in court.
The full $600,000 policy limit will protect both your insured from a larger judgment, as well as your interests. My client will accept $ (X amount of dollars) as the full and final settlement of his/her claim.
Please inform our firm of your response to this settlement demand within the next 30 days.
Before writing a bad faith demand letter, it is best to speak with an experienced bad faith attorney from the law office of Hagen and Rosskopf, LLC. In addition, our firm can help by doing the following for your case.
You don't have to put up with an unethical insurance company. If you have experienced bad faith from your insurer, the GA accident lawyers at Bruce A. Hagen can help. Contact us today to get started!

From Ineed2pee we have this hot little Asian she is in the shower in leggings. She is so desperate to pee and is grabbing her crotch desperately trying to hold her pee in. We can make out her bulging bladder as she jambs her hand in her crotch harder. She really is trying to hold in the flow. She gets a wave of pain and she can't hold on, she starts to pee in her leggings. She is pissing in her leggings and she has rivers of piss running down her legs she is wearing leg warmers and they are soaking up her piss too. This is a great leggings pee.

Sen. John McCain's toughest opponent between now and November is likely to be a surprisingly nimble politician with an Islamic name, and it's not who you think it is.
It's true that Sen. Barack Obama has been an able challenger, but for McCain, the bigger concern in the short term may be dealing with Nuri Kamal al-Maliki, the elected prime minister of Iraq, whose inconvenient call on Monday for the United States to either leave Iraq or to set a timetable to do so has, in an instant, reset the dynamic of the Iraq war as a foreign-policy issue for the White House and a political issue for the McCain campaign.
This is McCain's dilemma now: waging a political campaign whose stay-the-course militaristic underpinnings vis-à-vis Iraq have been suddenly undermined by the Iraqi government. It is only the latest of challenges before him.
◊ ◊ ◊
Maliki on Monday confirmed that his government was considering a short-term agreement with the United States that would extend the presence of American troops and include a timetable for withdrawal, The New York Times reported.
On Tuesday, through Mowaffak al-Rubaie, the Iraqi national security adviser, Maliki made it clearer still. "We will not accept a memorandum of understanding without having timeline horizons for the cessation of combat operations as well as the departure of all the combat brigades," he said in a phone interview with Campbell Robertson of The Times.
Team McCain — along with the State Department of the same Bush administration that McCain says he thinks independently of — have said that something was lost in translation, that Maliki was speaking more in the context of a domestic politician, appealing to his constituency with a proposal rather than a plan; that any withdrawal plans will be determined "by the situation on the ground" — a position more or less identical to what Obama has maintained for months.
But McCain has already been on the record about where he stands on such a scenario. He laid it out at a speech before the Council of Foreign Relations on April 22, 2007:
"Well, if that scenario evolves, then I think it's obvious that we would have to leave … if it was an elected government of Iraq … I don't see how we could stay when our whole emphasis and policy has been based on turning the Iraqi government over to the Iraqi people."
The McCain campaign will almost certainly refine its policies on this matter. As it is, the McCain shibboleth of opposition to a withdrawal timetable — one of his foreign-policy campaign weapons and the same "tantamount to surrender" club he's tried to beat Obama upside the head with for months — has been neutralized as a campaign issue.
◊ ◊ ◊
McCain is vulnerable on another war-related front. His campaign's obsession with Iraq as the front line on the war on terrorism largely overlooks evolving events in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Obama's months-ago pivot toward national-security issues linked to those two countries puts him in a position of forward thinking — the Democrat considering the next theater in the war on terrorism, rather than the last one.
By continuing to focus on Iraq, and especially in the wake of Maliki's demands, McCain has effectively positioned his own campaign behind the curve on this aspect of national security.
Under new management, Team McCain has retrenched somewhat, with a new round of campaign ads in the battleground states, ads intended to reintroduce McCain to the nation. One of the ads is instructive as much for what it doesn't say as for what it communicates, at times movingly:
For all its documentary power and its assumption of the national symbols and verities, this ad preaches mightily to the choir. It doesn't take us anywhere we haven't been with McCain already; it fails to suggest how McCain would embrace not only force but also the strength of diplomacy in his foreign policy; and it offers no outreach to the millions of younger, disaffected voters he'll need to prevail in the fall. It's an eloquent line in the sand, but it's the same line in the sand McCain has drawn in the past to distinguish himself from Barack Obama.
◊ ◊ ◊
More concerning for voters may be the baseline of terrorist fear McCain has sought to evoke in the nation as a reason for making him president. This came clear in June, when McCain chief strategist Charlie Black said, in a Fortune magazine interview, that another 9/11-style terrorist attack would play to the Republicans' advantage.
This followed McCain's own statement to CNN in December, after the assassination of former Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto, that her killing would burnish his credentials on foreign policy. Team McCain's play of the fear card didn't go unnoticed.
"If this were just one comment by John McCain or one comment by his chief strategist, that might be forgivable or an apology might be credible," said Democratic Rep. Robert Wexler of Florida, an Obama supporter, on MSNBC June 25. "But this is now the second, possibly the third instance in which the mindset of John McCain is becoming quite evident … he appears to be calculating the value of a terrorist attack or an assassination to his campaign. And that's quite eerie."
All of which is why McCain is hobbled, at least briefly, by Maliki's call for withdrawal from Iraq. With his CFR speech last year, with Maliki's demand for a pullout, and with the loss of the boogeyman of unbridled chaos in Iraq he's waved in front of the American people, McCain is forced into having to actually articulate a policy on the war on terrorism that doesn't feature Iraq as the main attraction, a policy that entertains (for him) the unthinkable: a timetable for bringing American forces home.
◊ ◊ ◊
Warm-fuzzy patriotic ads won't change voters' perceptions of McCain as an ardent and eager hawk; all the campaign retooling and staff-shifting in the world can't alter the public's foundational perception of McCain as first and foremost a cold-war champion of military force at the utter expense of diplomacy.
But then, subtlety and nuance aren't strong suits for the Republicans. For the last seven-plus years, they haven't had to be. John McCain has been and is now as much a victim of that fact as a beneficiary of it.
And sadly for McCain, that lack of subtlety and nuance in foreign affairs makes perfect sense: When you have crafted your political persona, generated so much of your political capital on defining yourself as a hammer, it's no surprise that the world at large looks like nothing but a nail.

Reason and Emotion
I am simple.
I fly in dreams and I am a feminine soul: I am a girl.
I plant flowers built from embraces
Of soul-woman that waits to play
On being (and getting) a true love
From and for someone.
I am moon.
Energy of light expecting more shining
I am able. I walk in winds
Pleasant or hurricanes, I distribute joy
And even sad I spread the hands out.
I am a woman who misses love (saudade)
I am you, I am myself

North Sea Brent crude oil traded in the narrowest price range since 2006 last year, according to the EIA. Moreover daily fluctuations were the lowest in a decade.
North Sea Brent is used as benchmark for the price of oil from Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. From the report:
"Price volatility in 2013 was at its lowest level over the 2006-13 period, as many of the factors that had been driving instability in oil prices were mitigated.
"Despite Libyan outages similar to those in 2011, Saudi Arabia maintained its production to smooth out the effects. Rising U.S. oil production also helped offset some of the losses of oil on world markets, resulting in supply being more in line with market expectations. The economic recovery became more evident as the European debt crisis waned and U.S. unemployment fell."
"The minimum closing price for 2013 was $97.69 per barrel (bbl) on April 17, and the maximum closing price was $118.90/bbl on February 8, representing a trading range of $21.21 for the year," they noted.

Review: The World's Greatest Detective
Title: The World's Greatest Detective
Author: Caroline Carlson
Publication Date: May 16, 2017
Genre: Middle Grade/Mysteries
Recommended If You Like: fun mysteries, throwbacks to the Golden Age of mysteries, strong kid protagonists
I received an ARC of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This did not affect my opinion of the book or my review itself.
The Book:
Toby Montrose has been passed around from relative to relative, ever since his parents disappeared in a boating accident. Now he finds himself with his Last Relative, Uncle Gabriel, who lives on Detective's Row and has fallen on hard times.
Toby dreams of being a detective himself, and when the most famous detective, Hugh Abernathy, opens up a contest to determine the World's Greatest Detective, Toby knows he has to be a part of it. But when the game is no longer a game, Toby must solve a real-life murder.
What I Liked:
This is such a fun book! It reminds me of the kid-centric mysteries I used to read when I was younger, and always enjoy revisiting. The mystery is clever, and the characters are really likable and easy to root for.
I also loved the nods to other famous literary detectives. There were some definite homages to characters like Sherlock Holmes and Miss Marple that really made me grin.
Anything I Didn't Like?
There really wasn't anything not to like about this mystery. I'm hopeful it becomes a series!
I would definitely recommend this read. It won't take you long at all, and you'll have a lot of fun while reading.

Year of inscription on the World Heritage List 1992
Criteria (iii)
Year(s) of inscription on the List of World Heritage in Danger 1997-present
Previous Committee Decisions see page http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/570/documents/
International Assistance
Requests approved: 0
(from 1996-1997)
Total amount approved: USD 106,000
For details, see page http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/570/assistance/
UNESCO Extra-budgetary Funds
Previous monitoring missions
UNESCO/ICOMOS missions in 1997, 2001, 2003 and UNESCO/ICOMOS/ICCROM mission in March 2005.
Factors affecting the property identified in previous reports
Looting; lack of adequate protection, management, and conservation of the site; Lack of management mechanisms and tourism pressure; poor state of conservation of the property and insufficient implementation of the recommendations of the joint missions.
Illustrative material see page http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/570/
Conservation issues presented to the World Heritage Committee in 2005
The World Heritage Centre received a report on the property, dated 8 February 2005 by the site management authority.
The joint UNESCO/ICOMOS/ICCROM mission, as requested by the Committee visited Butrint in March 2005. The Round Table concerning the preparation of a management plan took place from 28 to 29 March. The full report of the mission is available at whc.unesco.org/.
The mission visited the property to assess the current state of conservation and to evaluate the extent to which the recommendations of the two UNESCO/ICOMOS missions of 2001 and 2003 and the respective Committee decisions have been followed up. The members of the mission met with the Minister of Culture and had a series of meetings with the site manager, relevant authorities and concerned stakeholders. The mission obtained information from the Butrint Foundation and the representatives of institutions and other stakeholders concerned with the site.
The property was included in the List of World Heritage in Danger following the civil unrest and the instable situation at the property of spring 1997. At that time the site museum was looted and equipment was stolen from the property. When the property was put on the List of World Heritage in Danger, the property had no management authority, no management plan and no adequate protection system. These issues were among the reasons for retaining Butrint on the List of World Heritage in Danger, though some of the original reasons for this listing no longer exist: the looting stopped at the end of the 1990s; the site has a manager, dedicated staff and a management plan that is being updated; legislation and management regime are in place, and both have considerably improved since the property's inscription on the List of World Heritage in Danger List. As a result of all those positive changes, and considering that the conditions that have justified the danger listing of the property no longer prevail today, the mission recommends its removal from the List of World Heritage in Danger, in accordance with paragraph 191 (b) of the Operational Guidelines (2005). The competent authorities of the State Party have expressed no objection to that proposal.
The mission specifically noted that a management plan for Butrint (2000-2005) has been prepared by the Butrint Foundation in cooperation with the Butrint Office. The Plan was based on extensive consultation and involvement of all stakeholders, local, national and international, with a series of workshops in Saranda on various aspects of the management of the site. This plan has not been officially adopted and cannot be considered either as a practical and efficient working tool. An update version is currently under preparation taking also into account the RAMSAR Management Plan. The mission underlined that legislation and management regime are all in place, and both improved considerably since the inscription of the property.
The site manager intends to have the current management plan (2000-2005) undergo an update process as part of the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) funded Coastal Zone Management and Cleanup Project in Albania, as from September 2005. This update process will address all issues relevant to the conservation and management of the site and also the issues that prevented official adoption of the current management plan.
Furthermore, the mission underlined the need for the State Party to continue its efforts towards the improvement of the general situation of the site while finalising the overall Management Plan and ensure its adoption. The State Party should make every effort towards the creation of conditions that are conducive to obtaining synergy between the various institutions involved in the site in the preparation of the Management Plan and also to ensure rigorous control of the site management and to prevent any illegal development in the property.
While the members of the mission agree on the principle of recommending deletion form the List of World Heritage in Danger, there is no unanimity on the timing and the modalities of this action: whereas some members propose a deletion with immediate effect, other (including the mission leader) hold the view that it should be considered for removal by the Committee in 2006 only, on the basis of a further assessment report to be prepared prior to the 30th session of the World heritage Committee in 2006.
Therefore, two options for a Draft Decision are submitted to the World Heritage Committee:
Analysis and Conclusions of the World Heritage Centre, ICOMOS and ICCROM
Decision Adopted: 29 COM 7A.27
The World Heritage Committee,
1. Having examined Document WHC-05/29.COM/7A,
2. Recalling its Decision 28 COM 15A.28, adopted at its 28th session (Suzhou, 2004),
3. Thanks the State Party of Albania for the submission of the progress report and for the organization of the Round Table as requested;
4. Acknowledges the considerable efforts by the State Party to contribute to the improvements in the state of conservation of the property, its gradual return to normality and its legal protection;
5. Endorses the recommendations made by the joint UNESCO/ICOMOS/ICCROM mission of March 2005, and calls upon the State Party to give appropriate attention to their timely implementation;
6. Requests the State Party to:
a) ensure that the management and conservation plan of the property be finalized, if necessary with the assistance of the World Heritage Centre, taking into consideration the recommendations of the 2005 Round Table, as well as be approved by the relevant authorities of the State Party and submitted to the World Heritage Centre;
b) take all necessary measures to prevent any illegal development or inappropriate construction in the property;
c) ensure that strict control is exerted on the site management and that the relevant legal provisions of the 2003 Law on Cultural Heritage are applied; and
d) consider inviting a joint mission of UNESCO/ICOMOS/ICCROM in 2007 to assess the implementation of the Committee's decisions and submit a report on its findings;
7. Further requests the State Party to provide a detailed implementation report on the issues above as well as a copy of the updated management plan by 1 February 2006 for examination by the World Heritage Committee at its 30th session (Vilnius, 2006);8. Decides to remove Butrint (Albania) from the List of World Heritage in Danger.
Decision Adopted: 29 COM 8C.3
The World Heritage Committee,
1. Following examination of state of conservation reports of properties on the List of World Heritage in Danger (WHC-05/29.COM/7A and WHC-05/29.COM/7A.Add),

- Turn the handle so the brush is facing up. Push the brush base upward until it releases (you might need to loosen the screws on the underside first). Remove the brush from the handle.
- Affix new brush, then reattach the scrubber side.
- Hand-wash.

Effects of these policies
THE CHANGES ARE MAJOR Nobody is expecting these changes to be a smooth transition to a fair society where we have full employment without growth. It is going to be a great disruption but with care it can be managed smoothly. This change is transformational. With unearned income a thing of the past and the opportunity for everyone to be employed gainfully, we won't have to spend time wringing our hands about the gap between rich and poor. With a comprehensive policy to contain alcohol marketing and gambling our citizens will have real hope for the future and it will reduce our prison population. Everyone will be happier. It's just that it's going to be a bumpy ride. Going over a waterfall means we have to hang on to our boats and trust there is calm water at the bottom. But the change isn't optional. Do we want a future of economic and social chaos, food riots, fascism, invasion, starvation and war? When we think of the storms our grandchildren will be forced to endure do we really have a choice? Yes it's a hard problem. Yet somehow it's a paradox – although things are going to get desperately dangerous and urgent we must act positively and full of hope. Come with us on this journey.But there are signs of hope as the mainstream media is trying to come to grips with the major economic and environmental problems facing us all. Worldwide many are looking for new solutions to wealth disparity and habitat destruction. The motivation of those behind the Occupy Wall Street movement is not going away and governments probably know this. Corporate rule is no longer an option. People know we need a Plan B. It's all got to be done in the right order. We believe our solution of creating tax vouchers and linking them to full ground rent are unique. There are many challenges and it will take all our collective genius to steer our way through it all. Pain will happen. There will be a total change in our patterns of investment. The introduction of ground rent by the method we propose will gradually change patterns of land use and have a downward and stabilising effect on land prices. Dropping GST and income tax and implementing a Citizens Dividend will put many bureaucrats and accountants out of work and lower prices. Taking away the bank's privileges, bonuses and power will meet with massive resistance from vested interests worldwide. There will be pressure for all countries to do this together and we can't wait. Imposing more petrol taxes will push up the price of everything and cause changes to the transport and employment patterns.

Sorry I'm being a PITA, but I'm really not sure what I can/need post. Postfix/courier simply connect and request information based on filters. Binding is only necessary (apparently) to authenticate a user (Courier). The filter looks for (usually) the mailbox name/alias and whether the account is active, the physical maildir, etc. Logs don't appear to be showing much- nothing I can tell anyway. The problem is mainly to do with auth. Perhaps the best idea is to point me to some reputable and reliable sources of information on how to do this? I'll try and struggle along on my own until I have some more firmer evidence. Thanks for your help so far.

Adobe InCopy CS Streamlines and Enhances Collaborative Editorial Workflows
Tuesday, September 30, 2003
Press release from the issuing companySAN JOSE, Calif.--Sept. 29, 2003-- Adobe Systems Incorporated, the leader in network publishing, today announced Adobe InCopy CS, a new and improved version of the professional writing and editing program that integrates tightly with Adobe InDesign CS and the all-new Adobe Creative Suite (also announced today). InCopy CS puts copyfitting control back in the hands of editors. With a new editorial workflow technology that allows writers, editors and designers to work simultaneously on the same InDesign CS document, InCopy CS streamlines editorial revision and review cycles, reducing the amount of time it takes to get a publication to press. Previously only available through systems integrators and third-party developers servicing large publishing enterprises, Adobe InCopy CS will now also be sold directly from the Adobe store (www.adobe.com/store), bringing InCopy in reach of small editorial teams for the first time. "Customers working in smaller workgroups that have a need for a collaborative editorial workflow will greatly benefit from the tight integration between InCopy CS and InDesign CS," said Jim Heeger, senior vice president of Creative Professional Products at Adobe. "In addition, as InCopy and InDesign make headway in large publishing houses, our system integrators and third-party developer partners will continue to deliver the workhorse solutions required by editorial workgroups in large, database-driven, publishing environments." Originally designed for large publishing companies, InCopy CS is extending its market reach by providing a professional editorial workflow solution for small workgroups of less than 10 people -- in ad agencies, design firms, newspapers and magazines -- through an innovative bridge technology that enables InDesign CS and InCopy CS to work together right out of the package. With InCopy CS, writers and editors have more control over the integrity of their copy, reducing editorial revision cycles and enhancing collaboration among editors and designers. Maintain Copy Integrity Through Page Visualization Tight integration between InDesign and InCopy, provides 100 percent accurate line-break information, while alternative document views -- galley view, story view, layout view -- allow editors to see how the copy and page layout interact. Using text macros, keyboard shortcuts, dynamic spell checking, a Thesaurus Palette, and robust find and change options, InCopy CS users can quickly and efficiently perform everyday editorial tasks. Meanwhile quick access to detailed document statistics such as word, line and character counts, as well as vertical depth measurement, makes copyfitting easier. Work Smarter with Parallel Workflow Together, Adobe InCopy CS and Adobe InDesign CS set the foundation for a true parallel workflow between editors and designers. Using editorial workflow technology and simple file check-in and check-out, editors and designers can work on the same content simultaneously without overwriting each other's changes. In-line notes and change tracking tools let editors review and collaborate more closely, while support for XML allows InCopy CS to integrate into a wide variety of cross-media publishing workflows. "Adobe InCopy CS will be vital to our ability to publish across media," said Nick Passmore, Head of Editorial Systems Development at Guardian Newspapers Ltd. "Its native file format is XML, opening up exciting possibilities for generating new types of products and publishing more cost-effectively by using material in multiple presentations and media such as print and the Web." "Adobe InCopy CS software will be integral to our upstream publishing workflow, enabling copy editors to accurately copy-fit alongside artists who will be carrying out real-time design using InDesign," said Fraser Crozier, technical development at Pacific Publications. "InCopy CS offers greatly enhanced performance, bringing us closer to concurrent copy editing and design and a far more streamlined workflow." Pricing and Availability InCopy CS for Mac OS X version 10.2, Microsoft Windows 2000, and Windows XP (Home and Professional Editions) will be available in the fourth (calendar) quarter of 2003 to customers in the United States and Canada through the Adobe Store at www.adobe.com/store. Estimated street price for the full version will be US$249 for all platforms. InCopy will also be available through Adobe-authorized system integrators. Pricing and availability will be determined by systems integrators based on individual installations. For more detailed information about Adobe InCopy CS, please visit: www.adobe.com/incopy.

While the use of marijuana is considered mostly harmless, a new report reveals that heavy pot consumption may be the cause of a serious illness called Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS).
It seems that this mysterious sickness has started to appear more frequently in states like Colorado, which legalized the herb for recreational use several years ago.
Some patients are now showing up in emergency rooms with symptoms ranging from severe stomach cramps to heavy vomiting, but most doctors are failing to properly diagnose the problem because the true nature of this condition has been, for the most part, unknown.
Dr. Kennon Heard of the University of Colorado Hospital published a study in 2015 showing that cases of CHS had increased in Colorado ever since the state legalized medical marijuana. Those cases have now doubled since the state legalized the leaf for recreational use.
According to reports, there were 41 cases of CHS in Colorado in 2009, which increased to 87 after the passing of Amendment 64.
"It is certainly something that, before legalization, we almost never saw," Heard told CBS News. "Now we are seeing it quite frequently."
While these numbers hardly represent a major cause for alarm, physicians say that for those who come down with this rare syndrome, the damage can be rather serious – it can sometimes lead to extreme dehydration and kidney failure.
Strangely, the symptoms of CHS are often calmed when a patient takes a hot bath or shower. But so far, medical experts have been unable to establish any medical reasoning behind this treatment.
In 2014, HIGH TIMES reported that Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome was a very real condition and that it was often mistaken for Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome, an illness that is not caused by chronic marijuana consumption.
Fortunately, medical experts say that discontinuing the use of marijuana can alleviate the symptoms of CHS.
"Patients are given IV fluids and medication to resolve the vomiting and help with the pain," Heard told the Huffington Post. "But the treatment is really to stop using marijuana, or at least to cut back severely, and that's really the only way to make it better."

Uses for coconut oil
Coconut oil is versatile and affordable. It's the oil of choice for frugal families. Keep some on hand to use in your kitchen for cooking and a myriad of other uses around your home.
How do you use coconut oil? Here are a few ideas:
Coconut oil is what the theaters use, and it's so good! Another reader, Tonya, shares: "We pop our popcorn in coconut oil on the stove in a big pot. When it's done, all I add is a bit of salt and it's just like going to the movies! My kids beg for my homemade popcorn!"
Homemade deodorant and toothpaste:
It's cheaper to make your own deodorant than to buy over-the-counter products. One reader, D.L. from Florida, shares: "As a part of my new 80/20 raw lifestyle I have really been putting a great deal of effort into thinking about not just what I put into my body, but also what I put on it. Everything you put on your skin is absorbed into your blood stream. If you wouldn't eat it, maybe you shouldn't put it on your skin. I have been using frugal and natural alternatives for several healthcare products."
D.L. shares the following recipes for homemade deodorant and toothpaste, both of which make great use of coconut oil:
Deodorant: Mix equal parts organic virgin coconut oil (melted), baking soda and corn starch and store in jar. Apply with your fingers or a cotton ball. The best time to apply deodorant is right after a shower and/or before bedtime.
2 tablespoons virgin organic coconut oil (Helps prevent periodontal disease and tooth decay)
3 tablespoons baking soda
20 drops peppermint essential oil
A few drops liquid stevia
Mix melted coconut oil with remaining ingredients and store in a jar. Coconut oil is anti-bacterial, so no need to be concerned with dipping your toothbrush in the jar.
Season cast iron:
While many people season their cast iron pans with animal fat, you can use coconut oil with wonderful results.
Hair and skin:
You can use organic, unrefined coconut oil on your hair and skin. On hair, you can use it as a leave-in conditioner, hot oil treatment (wash hair after treatment) or as a styling gel. You should notice results within a short time. Another reader, Cheryl from Ohio, shares: "It also cools hot flashes when you put a heavy coating on your scalp and hair (towel over pillow) and on your feet before bed. Wash it out of your hair in the morning. It leaves hair silky soft and helps with frizzy hair from humidity, too. I experienced fewer night sweats during menopause when I did this. Replace your moisturizer or makeup remover with organic extra virgin coconut oil. It's good for fighting acne or as an aftershave as well. It can also be applied and used as a bug repellent."
If you ever need to remove gum from hair, coconut oil can work to get it out. It smells better and is less messy than using peanut butter.
Homemade pancake mix:
If you make your own bulk pancake mix for your pantry, use coconut oil. Another reader, Karen from Kansas, shares: "Coconut oil is a good choice over shortening or vegetable oil if you are storing baking mix recipes made with all-purpose flour at room temperature, because it doesn't go rancid at room temperature."

Consumer Health Digest #06-13
Your Weekly Update of News and Reviews
March 28, 2006
Consumer Health Digest is a free weekly e-mail newsletter edited by Stephen Barrett, M.D., and cosponsored by NCAHF and Quackwatch. It summarizes scientific reports; legislative developments; enforcement actions; news reports; Web site evaluations; recommended and nonrecommended books; and other information relevant to consumer protection and consumer decision-making.
PBS features misleading "integrated medicine"report. The Public Broadcasting System has aired a 2-hour special, "The New Medicine," which portrays "integrated medicine" as a new way to provide personalized care for patients. The program states correctly that it is important to pay attention to patients' concerns and emotional needs, but it falsely portrays this as a new medical approach. Segments of the report suggest that relaxation therapy can be helpful in certain situations, but the program exaggerates its importance. Images scattered throughout the program depict the administration of acupuncture and therapeutic touch without indicating that neither has any influence on the course of any disease. A coordinated Web site states that "integrated medicine only uses complementary therapies for which there is some high-quality scientific evidence of safety and effectiveness," but its list of methods includes homeopathy, qigong, reiki, and others that are ineffective and/or based on nonsensical theories. The site also gives poor advice about finding practitioners and fails to address whether it makes sense to look for them.
Consumers Union pans hoodia. Based on lack of evidence, Consumer Reports on Health (CRH) has recommended against taking products containing Hoodia gordonii, an herb that is widely promoted as an appetite suppressant. Hoodia is a cactus extract said to keep South African tribesmen from feeling hungry during long hunts. CRH's literature search yielded only two reports: (a) an unpublished report from a manufacturer about nine volunteers who were followed for 15 days, and (2) a study in which the ingredient was injected into the brains of rats. Neither of these studies substantiates the claims made by hoodia marketers. The editors also noted that Pfizer had tried to develop hoodia into an obesity drug but had given up after failing to make an acceptable synthetic version. [Hoodia: Worth trying for weight loss? Consumer Reports on Health, Feb 2006]
Unlicensed naturopath receives 13-year sentence. Brian Edward O'Connell, has been given consecutive sentences of 5 years for theft, 5 years for perjury, and 3 years for criminally negligent homicide. He also received concurrent sentences of 12 months in the county jail for practicing medicine without a license and 24 months in jail for 3rd degree assault. For many years, O'Connell operated Mountain Area Naturopathic Associates in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, where he displayed numerous degrees and certifications claiming he was doctor and a naturopath. Investigators concluded that O'Connell had treated about 4,000 patients even though he had no license to practice medicine or naturopathy in Colorado and was not certified as any kind of health-care worker. (His only health-related "training" had come from the Herbal Healer Academy, a nonaccredited correspondence school in Arkansas.) He also testified (fraudulently) as a toxicology expert in many court cases. In this case, O'Connell was prosecuted for hastening the death of a 19-year old cancer patient by injecting a hydrogen peroxide solution. He also injected hydrogen peroxide into a 17-year-old female, which caused her to go into cardiac arrest. Another of his patients had terminal liver cancer and was told by O'Connell that a "black salve" compound would pull the cancer out of his body. Instead it created open, bleeding wounds that continued until his death. O'Connell also provided a "photoluminescence" procedure in which he would withdraw the patient's blood, run it through ultraviolet light, and inject it back into the patient's bloodstream. Earlier this year, while the jury was being selected for his trial, it came to light that O'Connell had misrepresented his toxicology-related credentials in a 1999 trial in front of the judge who was assigned to the current case. When told that prosecutors planned to file an additional perjury charge, O'Connell decided to plead guilty instead of going through the trial. [O'Connell pleads guilty during jury selection. News release, Feb 1, 2006, Office of the District Attorney of Jefferson and Gilpin Counties] Additional details about O'Connell's practices and "credentials" are spelled out in a civil suit brought against him by the parents of the 19-year-old boy. That suit was settled last year for an undisclosed sum. [Barrett S. Unlicensed naturopath facing wrongful death. Naturowatch, March 29, 2006] Questions remain about whether any of the cases in which he was permitted to testify as a toxicology expert will have to be reopened.
FDA warns WaterOz about illegal claims. The FDA has ordered WaterOz, of Granville, Idaho, to stop making illegal therapeutic claims for a dozen dietary supplement and herbal products. [Breen CM: Warning letter to Gregory W. Towerton, March 8, 2006] The company has been making such claims for several years. In 2000, the Internal Revenue Service launched a criminal investigation based on evidence that Hinkson had willfully failed to file income tax returns or pay Social Security taxes for his workers. The investigation led to the arrest of company founder David Hinkson for tax evasion, marketing adulterated drugs, selling misbranded and adulterated ozone generators, and structuring financial transactions to avoid bank currency reporting requirements. In 2004, Hinkson pleaded guilty to two of the product-violation charges and a jury found him guilty on 26 counts related to the tax misconduct. Archived versions of the WaterOz Web site show that from 2000 to 2002, the site contained "recommended protocols" for using 22 mineral products to treat about 100 "specific health issues" including AIDS, appendicitis, cancers, Down's syndrome, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and parasites. In 2002, the 60-page WaterOz Buyer's Club catalog offered about 200 products with false claims that more than 100 diseases and conditions are caused by mineral deficiency and can be effectively treated with the products. Despite the product-violation conviction, the site continued to advertise most of the mineral products with unsubstantiated health claims. In 2005, he was sentenced to 43 years in prison for soliciting the murders of a federal judge, a federal prosecutor, and an IRS agent in retaliation for the criminal case. It is not clear whether he still owns the company. Quackwatch has additional information about Hinkson.
Dental imposter arrested. Orlando Sotolongo Guarton has been charged with Medicaid fraud and practicing dentistry without a license in Miami, Florida. Press reports indicate that he practiced for a year by pretending to be Dr. Lorenzo Puentes, a licensed dentist. During this period, he extracted teeth, provided dentures, and issued prescriptions for antibiotics and painkillers. [Barrett S. Dental imposter arrested for Medicaid fraud.

Cruisin for a bruisin?/
A brave Johann Hari stows away on the big ship Neo-con. A must-read
The Iraq war has been an amazing success, global warming is just a myth – and as for Guantanamo Bay, it's practically a holiday camp... The annual cruise organised by the 'National Review', mouthpiece of right-wing America, is a parallel universe populated by straight-talking, gun-toting, God-fearing Republicans.
To my left, I find a middle-aged Floridian with a neat beard. To my right are two elderly New Yorkers who look and sound like late-era Dorothy Parkers, minus the alcohol poisoning. They live on Park Avenue, they explain in precise Northern tones. "You must live near the UN building," the Floridian says to one of the New York ladies after the entree is served. Yes, she responds, shaking her head wearily. "They should suicide-bomb that place," he says. They all chuckle gently. How did that happen? How do you go from sweet to suicide-bomb in six seconds?
The conversation ebbs back to friendly chit-chat. So, you're a European, one of the Park Avenue ladies says, before offering witty commentaries on the cities she's visited. Her companion adds, "I went to Paris, and it was so lovely." Her face darkens: "But then you think – it's surrounded by Muslims." The first lady nods: "They're out there, and they're coming." Emboldened, the bearded Floridian wags a finger and says, "Down the line, we're not going to bail out the French again." He mimes picking up a phone and shouts into it, "I can't hear you, Jacques! What's that? The Muslims are doing what to you? I can't hear you!"
Now that this barrier has been broken – everyone agrees the Muslims are devouring the French, and everyone agrees it's funny – the usual suspects are quickly rounded up. Jimmy Carter is "almost a traitor". John McCain is "crazy" because of "all that torture". One of the Park Avenue ladies declares that she gets on her knees every day to " thank God for Fox News". As the wine reaches the Floridian, he announces, "This cruise is the best money I ever spent."

Today marks the beginning of the new season as the teams prepare to retool after their season. Free agency has been exciting to watch as both the Patriots and Broncos have been resigning players from other teams in what appears to be an "Arms race" in the AFC. Meanwhile, the Superbowl champs Seahawks will be looking to add more pieces to their already
dominant defense while they can before they have to pay out their star quarterback Russel Wilson when contract negotiations begin. Follow the draft over the next 3 days and we'll judge their picks at the end for who came out ahead through the draft and who became a donkey. NFL season has begun!

A Simple Tool in Obtaining Clarity
My experience taught me that obtaining clarity saves a lot of time doing unnecessary work and a lot of frustrating feelings that can lead even to quitting on our dreams.
I remember Jim Rohn used to say "If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much."
I would know that. I conducted most of my life until few years ago without any clarity on what I wanted to do with it or on what my meaning was. I kept taking directions from anyone – family, friends, boss – I let myself be led by others until I realized that not only I had no plan for my life, but also other people had "serious plans" with me.
Because of the lack of clarity, I experience a lot of frustrating moments, felt unworthy, unfulfilled. Decisions were hard to take. My marriage was suffering.
Successful people fascinated me and I was reading about their everyday habits. That got my interest in productivity habits and I studied a bit. Among the habits of the successful people, one of them got my attention – writing. Writing goals in particular.
So, I started practicing writing. At the beginning, I felt stuck – I didn't seem to have goals…hold it! I did have goals. I just couldn't make the connection between what I used to think of as dreams or daily objectives and the "goals worth writing down".
And because nothing happens without a reason that was a time when a friend of mine became my coach. He taught me how to write my goals.
I began first by writing my daily activities – sort of a daily plan. That helped me a great deal with my work. I managed to finish tasks I was delaying and re-scheduling over and over.
Then, I started writing about my dreams. Little by little, I developed those dreams, splitting them into actions and eventually I really started working on them. Pretty soon, writing became the tool I applied in any tangled situation.
A while ago I attended a super webinar on mental and emotional clarity. One of the tools on the webinar was based was a kind of free writing. Writing from the heart, writing anything that goes into your mind and then letting go of your conscious mind and putting your emotions on paper.
I've done this too and it helps taking out emotions you were not aware you had. Seeing them on paper makes it real and it helps you deal with them. It's a way of letting go of the tension, resentment, fear … all kinds of negative feelings.
Besides obtaining emotional clarity, writing is a way of putting an order into your mind. It's like cleaning your mental clutter. At least, that's what it was for me. It helped me sort out ideas; make little drawers for each one, so that afterwards I could analyze each of them.
Writing helped me bring my goals into my reality to be able to work toward them.
It's a proven fact that writing shapes ideas. It's the first contact an idea has with the real world. Seeing something written down makes it closer to realization.
Just like Walt Disney said "If you can dream it, you can do it.", I also believe that if you can write down your dream, you make it clear in your mind and that's the first step in achieving it.
Writing is a simple and easy to use tool. There are no rules to it. You can start with as little as 10 minutes a day. I'm a morning person and I would advise to do it in the morning when you are not "intoxicated" with the usual daily activities, energies.
Don't worry if you don't seem to be coherent in your thoughts at first. Be patient and consistent. One day you will notice that your scattered thoughts come together.
Give it a try!

NASCAR driver Matt Tifft to have surgery on brain tumor
Xfinity Series rookie Matt Tifft will have surgery to remove a low-grade glioma in his brain, Joe Gibbs Racing announced Tuesday.
Tifft, who is also a finance major at UNC Charlotte, is expected to undergo "rehabilitation soon and once cleared by physicians is expected to return to racing," according to a JGR statement.
The tumor was discovered when Tifft, 20, was being treated and evaluated for a disc condition in his back. The disc condition was the reason given for why he missed Saturday's race at Iowa Speedway, a race won by his replacement driver Sam Hornish Jr. David Ragan will drive Tifft's No. 18 Toyota in Friday's Xfinity race at Daytona International Speedway.
Tifft, who is from Hinckley, Ohio, had consecutive eighth-place finishes recently and won the pole at Talladega Superspeedway in May. He is a member of this year's NASCAR Next class.
New Chase rule
NASCAR announced that a driver on an "open" team who makes the Chase will be guaranteed a spot in each race of the postseason. Open teams, who are not part of NASCAR's new charter program, must qualify for each regular-season race on speed, while charter teams are guaranteed spots. Rookie Ryan Blaney, who drives for the Wood Brothers Racing open team, is close to a spot in the Chase. He's 17th in the standings but doesn't have a win.

1. Major New Features
1.1 Administrators: More flexible reporting
Offline Reports on current 90-day transactions. A new option to request that a report be run offline offers more flexibility than is available online. With the new option, you'll build the report you need, give it a title that makes sense to you, and notify whomever you wish that it is ready for download. The pages to define the report are similar to the Ask/Reports, but have additional features that can save, schedule, and hold reports for pick up.
Ask/Reports/Offline offers the following additional flexibility:
- Group administrators can get reports on all institutions together. S/he no longer needs to pull up one institution at a time to see patron-supplied data
- Request any report for a period of up to 90 days at a time.
- Request reports by Descriptive Code.
- Include Question field with patron data
- Request that report be sorted by any of numerous sorting options
- Save and run again at another time
- Save up to 25 reports, with up to 5 active (scheduled or completed) at any one time.
Users select limiting criteria and then the fields and report format they want. This is a two-step, two-page process. You must select Schedule and/or Save before it is possible to move on to the second, Field Selection page.
Reports are run during the night (Eastern Time, GMT -4) on the replication server to ensure no impact on system performance. If you provided an e-mail address, you are notified that your report is ready for you to download. To download, go to the Ask/Reports/Offline module, click on the Completed tab, and then on the Download link. From there, follow the standard instructions to save on your hard drive.
1.2 Administrators: Forms Manager
This release introduces the new Forms area in the Administration module, under the Institution tab. The Forms area is the first step toward a new Forms Management facility for QuestionPoint administrators. It consolidates various settings related to configuring your virtual reference presence
Now available in the Forms area are:
- Open WorldCat settings
- Question Form Location (for template based or locally hosted web forms)
- Viewport Location
- Practice Chat configuration (formerly Chat Form tab, see below for more)
- Chat 2 (Preview)
Future releases will incorporate new capabilities, including form customization and branding. Watch the QuestionPoint blog for information.
1.2.1 Chat 2 (Preview): Next generation patron interface
This release also introduces the Preview of the next generation patron interface with a working name of "Chat 2". This Preview version is available for use with your production chat queues and includes
- A faster, lighter weight patron experience
- A single URL for easy placement and marketing
- An interface optimized to work universally for all patrons, including those with accessibility needs and those using screen readers
- Patron preferences, including colors scheme, font, and chime for new messages
In the coming months additional features will be incorporated into this next generation patron interface, including branding, form customization, page pushing and co-browse. Please watch the QuestionPoint blog for updates and to share your thoughts.
A view of the new form is available in Administration/Institution/Forms/Chat_2_(Preview). Administrators can use the URL provided there, which includes the institution's ID, to try out the form and have others try it, or to use it as a link on the library's web site. The form is a "production" form (i.e., it is not a practice form), so Flash-based chat users must select your Primary Queue to work with it. The form is currently also useable with the html-based chat monitor interface.
It is important to note that the librarian's experience will be no different when chatting with a patron who is using this form. Both the standard form and this new form deliver the same experience for the librarian. And the library can link to both forms if they wish, from their portal page.
The following images illustrate what the patron sees or experiences. The last image shows the preferences the user may set once he has submitted his question. A chime alerts the user to a librarian response, so they do not need to be continually concentrating on the chat page. They can choose from 4 fonts and font sizes. They can also select different colors for the font and background, to facilitate viewing for those for whom black on white is not ideal.
1.2.2. Chat Form tab is renamed to Practice Chat
Administrators will see the newly renamed Practice Chat tab when they enter the Administration/Institution/Forms area.
Use this form to build a practice chat form. From the My QuestionPoint home page you can test what you configure here to see how the form will appear to your users, how it will be displayed in the QuestionPoint librarian's interface, and how the various form elements can be reported on from the reports module.
You can configure a form of up to 10 fields. If you select from the top 13 fields, your reports can be handled in a standard way, and personal identity information will be dropped when the transaction is moved to Service History archive. If you choose to include your own labeled fields, all data will be displayed and retained in the Service History.
2. Additional New Features
2.1 Administrators: BME-level Announcements area on home page
On the My QuestionPoint home page, all users will now see three levels of "announcements."
- A new group announcement area will follow the systems area, if your group administrator chooses to use it.
- The institution announcement area will be the third, with no changes from today's functionality.
Because you may conceivably need to scroll down several times to read all the announcements, new links, showing the date of last posting, are added at the top. You can see immediately from the date whether a new announcement has been added and link immediately to it.
2.2 Ability to send e-mail to patron for notification purposes only
Librarians can now send information to a patron without changing the status of the question in QuestionPoint. This will be useful to let a patron know you are working on their question or that you have referred it to another library. This is done using the new Send Message button on the Answer Question page.
Note: Any patron attempt to reply to these messages will be received at the library's FROM address (the address set as the Outgoing Address in the Administration module), but the reply will not appear in the question history. This insures the status of the question will not change. You may wish to set up a script, if you intend to use this kind of notification, that cautions the patron to not reply to this message.
2.3 Administrators: Ability to send e-mail to all librarians within a BME
In Administration/Subscription Group/Reports/Current, administrators may select "List of Librarian Accounts" to see a list of all current librarians in the group, each with his or her e-mail address. This "report" can be exported, saved to an Excel file, and the e-mail column then saved as a distribution list in the administrator's e-mail client.
2.4 Patrons who provide screen name but no e-mail
The term "anonymous" will no longer appear when the patron gives no e-mail address. Instead, "no email provided" is the indication.
2.5 Institution name and question date in public Knowledge Base records
Heretofore, knowledge base records, when searched by librarians who are not editors or by the public, did not show the institution(s) involved in the question and no dates. With this release, those shortcomings have been remedied.
2.6 Help on patron Logon page in other languages
The patron's logon page will now link to Help in Dutch, Spanish, and French, if those languages are selected as the interface language.
2.7 Administrators Link to custom survey
Administrators can choose to display links to their own independent survey if they wish. This allows institutions to use surveys that were specially developed for them and that may be more general in nature than a response to a single question. Please note that answers to these surveys are not brought into QuestionPoint or in any way included in QuestionPoint survey reports.
2.8 All timestamps include seconds
All displays of timestamps now include seconds, e.g., 11:45:57. This change extends to reports, question lists, and displays of full questions/transcripts.
2.9 Retired News
The News feature within the QuestionPoint application has been discontinued. You will no longer see the News tab at the top of the My QuestionPoint home page. To keep up to date with QuestionPoint events, conferences, changes, and best practices, go to the blog at http://questionpoint.blogs.com.
2.10 New Descriptive Codes available
The following 5 new descriptive codes have been added:
1. Interlibrary Loan (ILL)
2. Electronic Resources
3. Referred to home library
4. Non-affiliated
5. Item Request
3. User Apparent Fixes
3.1 Administrators: Edit an SUP policy pages
A BME administrator can once again edit the policy pages of any of the group members.
3.2 Export of reports
Librarians can once again export reports that are accessed via My QuestionPoint/Reports.
The IP address had inadvertently been overlooked in the last release when, for statistical purposes, we saved a "shell" of records that have been deleted. The IP address has now been removed, to insure privacy.
Librarians with permissions to view and/or edit their library's profile will now see a "Search Policy Pages" link on the My QuestionPoint home page, lower left column.

Ask Elizabeth is the complete guide to teen life. Drawn from the many workshops Elizabeth Berkley has conducted with teen girls across the country, Ask Elizabeth brings these revealing and intimate conversations to life on the page.
Much like a private diary, the book is a personal resource that girls can turn to when they seek answers to teen life's toughest questions. It contains real and practical advice, anecdotes, and Elizabeth's own life lessons in answers to frequently asked questions from Elizabeth's workshop, such as: What do you do when you look in the mirror and don't like what you see? or How do you get a guy to know you're alive?
Along with a panel of experts, Elizabeth advises girls in matters of sex, nutrition, fitness, body image, personal relationships, and more.
Elizabeth worked with us directly, in collaboration with her husband, Greg Lauren, and sent us personal ephemera which was used throughout for collage spreads in addition to my own calligraphy, photography, and ephemera to create the feeling of a hand-made book to be enjoyed and passed on to continue Elizabeth's story and message.

What I've Been Told Lately…
What I've been told lately is that people have found themselves attracted to URBhana, like a lighthouse on the stormy construction site of Gay St. Most people have shared that the name URBhana came to them via either email, word of mouth, or ESP. One particular story I'd like to share is this: during one First Friday event, an agoraphobic woman found herself at the end of the sidewalk of Gay St. and really did not know which way to go or what to do. All of a sudden she looked up and saw some people in front of the door of URBhana and said to her boyfriend, "I need to go there." She entered into URBhana on that First Friday, and on that particular evening we had a theater group and oil paintings and portraits. The air conditioning wasn't working so well, and it was hot and crowded. Something shifted inside of her (call it URBhana's energy 🙂 ) and she found herself opening up and talking to Angie Collins, the creater/founder of the Awakened Woman Workshops, and myself, Angela Howard, founder of URBhana. She lit up so much that we asked her to be a presenter at the next Awakened Woman Workshop. On that Saturday, we witnessed a most vibrant, wide-open, confident, creative writing and play-wright master (she just received her Masters degree from UT) sharing poetry from her play "Exposed" and singing at the top of her lungs to the tune of "Fat Bottom Girls."
If there is anyone else out there with an URBhana story, please share it because it is fascinating what URBhana has already started to create in downtown Knoxville.

Riemst Vooruit – René Beusenstadion
After I visited 'FC Veldwezelt' I went on to visit 'Riemst Vooruit'. It was very easy to get in as it's just an open stadium.
The club which is found in 1954, plays in the Belgian 8th division in a very small stadium. As I didn't met anyone at the ground and as I couldn't find any information about the club (except their stadium name; René Beusenstadion), I had to find René Beusens!
And as soon as I found him and his number I took my phone gave him a call to ask for some informations. He told me he is their chairman and that he is in his 80's, so he might not remember everything correctly.
The club is found in 1954 and still plays at the same location. In the past they only had 1 player who became very known in Belgium, Daniel Nassen. This is actually a very funny fact as he has been coaching my favourite team, KVK Tienen, for years.
The club never played higher than the 5th division of Belgian football in which they relegated each time after their first season. When money became more important in football, they club relegated to the 7th and 8th division, in which they still play today.
In the past they still had very hard but beautiful derbies against Vlijtingen VV (5th division) but nowadays almost every game is a derby, which makes them in the end just normal games.

Kanye West has strong opinions about awards shows. Anyone who has forgotten this salient fact can find a reminder in West's latest explosive interview with Access Hollywood. The rap superstar spoke out against what he sees as undeserving recent winners of the Grammy Award for Album of the Year…including, you guessed it, Taylor Swift. Oh dear. Here we go again!
"Where's our instant replay clock?" West asked, according to Access Hollywood. "Why are the last four Albums of the Year: Taylor Swift, Dixie Chicks, Ray Charles and Herbie Hancock? Like, you know, with all due respect… that's inaccurate." (Speaking of inaccuracies, he forgot to mention Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, who won in 2009. Maybe he's a fan.)
Instead, West suggested a few albums he'd rather have seen win. "It's like 'SexyBack' — you know what I'm saying? Like [Justin Timberlake's] FutureSex/LoveSounds, Gnarls Barkley. How about Usher — Confessions? How about albums that sold 10 million?"
Lest you misunderstand the motivations behind these words, West clarified the larger social significance involved: "I pinpoint the Grammys and the VMAs because they have to take responsibility, because they mean something to us. Little kids, 6 years [old], that are singing in front of the mirror. They're also thinking about their Grammy speech; they're thinking about when there will be a VMA so these people, whoever run them… they have to take some responsibility to say what really happened in culture this year because we're marking it down."
What do you think? Is West right about those Grammy winners? Did Justin Timberlake deserve to win over Dixie Chicks, or Usher over Ray Charles? Check out the the Access Hollywood clip after the jump and sound off in the comments.
