Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather fought on Saturday, May 2nd 2015 and it was boring af.
In fact, there was an unbelievable amount of hype surrounding the fight, the purse was around $180 million, Justin Bieber was involved in Floyd's opening introduction, entire countries were uniting behind their respective fighters, and the marketing for the damn thing was through the roof.
But the fight was boring.
Do you think that the UFC would ever put out any product as underwhelming as that? Probably not, right. Well, HBO Boxing's Jim Lampley thinks quite the opposite... at least as far as numbers are concerned.
He thinks that the UFC can never produce an event as epic or as large money-wise than boxing was capable of putting on with those two fighters.
Here's what he told Bill Simmons on his podcast.
"[UFC] make the top people fight against the top people. It's more like the NFL model where any given Sunday top guys are going to fight top guys. But of course what that eliminates for them is the pinnacle event. When everybody has four to five losses you can't put together Mayweather-Pacquiao because the public wants to see people rise up way above the normal universe and then get together in some sort of summit meeting and that's when you get the million buy Pay-Per-View, or in the case with Mayweather-Pacquiao the 4.4 million buy PPV.
"UFC will never be able to construct an event like that as long as they use the model they're using. I'm not saying it's wrong. I think there are intelligent reasons for them to do what they do but we're always going to have the bigger showcase events when they happen."
Then, when Bill Simmons mentioned that the UFC puts on more consistently high-quality events, Lampley doubled down, essentially.
"That's why they're doing so well. It's a lesser amount of rounds and shorter rounds and it's more violent so it suits cyber-era attention spans better than the 12-round fight does. There are a lot of reasons why for young people at this moment the UFC is probably more popular that boxing, but we're not going away.
"We're not evaporating from the landscape. We still have a certain cache which goes with 125 years of gloved prize fighting existence and all the socio-political impact that our fighters have had."
What do you think?
Should MMA fans feel insulted by these comments from one of the main boxing personalities out there?

Big perch dominate Wye catch
The River Wye perch shoals have made a revival this winter and Gary Baldwin took advantage by putting together a 25lb plus net of them during his latest outing on the venue.
After seeking advice from friends, the Hereford-based rod visited a local stretch armed with a sack of worms and within moments of chucking out a small feeder packed with freebies the tip wrapped round and a 2lb specimen was soon in the net.
Things got even better later in the day when he smashed his personal best with a 2lb 10oz fish fell for his lobworm offering.

A local aviation icon and legend was honored with a statue at The Works museum in Newark Saturday.
Jerrie Mock was the first woman to fly solo around the world in 1964, not to be confused with Amelia Earhart, who flew across the Atlantic ocean almost 40 years prior. Mock was a resident of Newark before making her coast to coast journey.
"She's a class 1943 Newark High school," said The Works Director of Development, Susan Leithauser. A Newark native who was a housewife in Bexley, Ohio in 1964, when she fulfilled a life long dream to fly around the world. "
Aviation workers, Mock's family, community members and state and local officials were at the unveiling to pay homage to a woman they say is an inspiration.
"This means so much for the Newark community and the Licking County Community, really as we honor someone who was such a pioneer for women, for aviation and whose life long dream was to be a pilot, and to go off and fly around the world, and she did it," said Leithauser.
Members of Mock's high school class, the Newark community and they Licking County Foundation all worked together to raise money to construct the statue that was created by Artist, Renete Fackler. September 14th is now proclaimed as Jerrie Mock day. Mock currently lives in Florida.

I recently finished off this little set from British brand Green and Spring and I enjoyed it so much I knew it deserved it's own post. In my opinion we don't hear enough about this brand, the 100% natural range is handmade in the UK and is free from parabens, sulphates, artificial fragrances, PEG's, glycols and petrochemicals. The packaging and plant extracts used are inspired by the British countryside and I adore the the beautiful birds used on every product.
The Relaxing candle set* £18 contains three small votives in the same scent, although small these candles pack a serious punch in the scent department and the scent throw of just one candle is enough to fill a large room, which I found really impressive. The relaxing scent contains essential oils of lavender, rosemary and geranium which creates a beautiful herbal depth. I think this would make a lovely gift as it comes delightfully boxed and the candles burn beautifully due to the high quality essential oils. Green and Spring is a brand I am looking forward to exploring more of and one I would highly recommend.

Park Meadows Mall south of Denver has a surprisingly large number of Mexican Restaurants in the area. Hacienda Colorado is across I-25 and south of the mall but a local favorite. Brewery Bar II is known for their Mexican food and great times and is in the Entertainment District south of the Mall by The Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant. This restaurant has a location in LoDo and is known for incredible margaritas with a second level bar and salsa dancing a couple nights a week. Los Dos Potrillos at 8251 S Holly is very popular for real Mexican fare. For a quick bite there are Chipotle, Baja Fresh and Qdoba surrounding Park Meadows Mall. Wahoo's Fish Tacos is the southern California favorite with two satellite outlets in Denver. (apparently the owners like to surf and ski) The authentic Las Brisas at 6787 S Clinton Street is an option as is Little Anita's at 6830 S Yosemite.
About Mexican Restaurants
Puebla is a province just south of Mexico City. Chefs from Puebla are known for their cooking skills and reliability and are sought after in American-Mexican restaurants. They take with them all their local knowledge and produce and develop many Tex-Mex dishes which the Americans love. Mexican cuisine is so popular that Mexican restaurants can be found in almost every town in the United States, including Lone Tree, and every city throughout the world. They serve not only the ex-Pat Mexican communities but all nationalities. New Mexico has a large Mexican community and actually has developed its own New Mexican Cuisine which can be enjoyed in many local restaurants there.

My top ten favorite words are featured at The Broke and Bookish this week. Go check everyone's list out!
Here's my list:
1. Atrocious: "Utterly revolting, or of very poor quality". This is one of my favorite words to use when describing something I don't like.
2. Facetiously: "Joking or jesting often inappropriately". I love this word because all five vowels are in alphabetical order. I know there are other words like this, but this is the first one I remember learning.
3. Lackadaisical: "Lacking life, spirit, or zest". This is such a fun word to say, which seems kind of ironic considering the definition.
4. Dessert: "A usually sweet course or dish (as of pastry or ice cream) usually served at the end of a meal". I love dessert. Cake, pie, cookies, pudding, brownies, ice cream, you name it I will devour it (especially if it has chocolate in it).
5. Wanderlust: "Strong longing for or impulse toward wandering". Ahh..the travel bug. I love traveling to new places and exploring.
6. Onomatopoeia: "The use of words whose sound suggests the sense". Another fun word to say and I love words that are onomatopoeia's: buzz, hiss, beep, knock, sizzle, zap, squish.
7. Oxymoron: "A combination of contradictory or incongruous words (such as cruel kindness)". Ever since I was first taught this word in elementary school I've pictured an 'ox' and a 'moron' in my head.
8. Surreptitious: "Done, made, or acquired by stealth". It's like clandestine...but way cooler.
9. Pterodactyl: "Any of various pterosaurs (suborder Pterodactyloidea) of the Late Jurassic and Cretaceous having a rudimentary tail and a beak with reduced dentition". My favorite dinosaur! Who doesn't love dinosaurs?
10. Beach: "A shore of a body of water covered by sand, gravel, or larger rock fragments; a seashore area". I've always lived within 15 minutes of the ocean. I love it, it's one of my favorite places to be.

Unlike the human lung, monopodial canine airway branching follows an irregular dichotomized pattern with fractal features. We studied three canine airway molds and found a self-similarity feature from macro- to microscopic scales, which formed a fractal set up to seven scales in the airways. At each fractal scale, lateral branches evenly lined up along an approximately straight main trunk to form three to four two-dimensional structures, and each lateral branch was the monopodial main trunk of the next fractal scale. We defined this pattern as the fractal main lateral-branching pattern, which exhibited similar structures from macro- to microscopic scales, including lobes, sublobes, sub-sublobes, etc. We speculate that it, rather than a mother-daughter pattern, could better describe the actual asymmetrical architecture of the monopodial canine airway.

- fractal main lateral-branching pattern
pulmonary airways are organized in a complex branching arrangement to facilitate gas exchange in the lung. The branching airways in animals, such as the mouse, rat, dog, pig, donkey, and horse, are considered to exhibit a monopodial branching pattern (9, 14–17, 23), and the monopodial airway also has been used as the airway model for environmental research to compare with the human lung in aerosol deposition (2–5).
Existing theories for airway branching are based on a "mother-daughter" pattern and have been considered as either divergent or convergent (7, 19). However, this branching pattern involves a complicated airway tree structure with ∼20 orders or generations. When branches divide with unequal diameters or there are trichotomic branching structures (6) in the monopodial branching pattern, it is difficult to accurately determine the branch generation or order number. For example, it is hard to understand how a branch could have a zero length in the canine airway tree (8).
A universal pattern frequently found in nature is the fractal form (1, 13). Fractal geometry, first described by Mandelbrot (11), exhibits a self-similarity feature at different scales. The structure of the airway tree has been previously described as following such fractal geometry (11, 20). The monopodial canine airway is asymmetric, with branches laterally arising from a central trunk (22, 23). Our hypothesis is that the monopodial canine airway follows a fractal branching pattern with a main lateral-branching structure. We examined canine airway casts to identify whether a fractal feature of self-similarity exists in the monopodial branching system, and we quantified the branch geometry in the main lateral-branching pattern at various fractal spatial scales.
We made silicone molds of canine tracheobronchial trees, as previously described (21). In brief, the intact lungs from three normal adult mongrel dogs (weight 20–40 kg) were excised postmortem after the dogs were used for other research purposes. The lungs were inflated with compressed air at 25 cmH2O and dried for >48 h until the weight was constant. Then, we injected silicon sealer into the airways of the dried lungs via the trachea. After the silicone cured, the lung tissue was removed by immersion in sodium hydroxide solution (10 M). We measured lengths and diameters of the branches of the canine airway mold (Fig. 1) with a caliper and determined the relationship of branch geometry to the branching generation. All procedures were carried out in accordance with institutional guidelines at the University of Kentucky.
We found a self-similarity feature in the canine airways of each lobe at different magnifications ranging from macro- to microscopic scales, i.e., lobe to sublobe, sub-sublobe, etc. This pattern was evident at all scales of the airway. For example, in Fig. 2, we show five fractal generations in the intermediate lobe airways.
Main lateral-branching pattern. We define our terminology as follows. Main trunk is an approximately straight airway, from which arise lateral branches, and each lateral branch becomes the main trunk of the next smaller level or scale. Segment is the interval between two adjacent branching nodes along the main trunk. Fractal scales are each fractal level of the main lateral-branching structure, making up the entire canine airway. Generation refers to the branches in the main lateral-branching pattern.
The general structural features in the main-branching pattern of the monopodial canine airway, as seen in these three lungs, were as follows.
First, in the monopodial airway tree, branches laterally arise from a main (approximately) straight trunk to form a plane or wing structure. There were three to four similar two-dimensional (2D) lateral-branching wings surrounding a main trunk with an angle ranging from 90 to 150° degrees apart. This arrangement formed a three-dimensional (3D) structure to fill the relevant space (Fig. 3). We labeled the lateral-branch structures as A, B, C, and D wings based on their sizes, ranging from the largest to the smallest. The airway structure of the intermediate lobe shown in Fig. 2 is a specific sample of a lobe exhibiting three 2D lateral-branching (A-B-C) wings. The number of 2D lateral-branching wings surrounding a main trunk depends on the relevant space in the lung. For example, the cross section of a lobe cut perpendicular to the main trunk of the lobe will be triangular, because there will be three 2D lateral-branching wings with an angle of 105–150° apart. If the cross section is an approximate diamond shape, there will be four 2D lateral-branching wings with an angle of ∼90° apart.
Second, the branch conception here is not the same as the mother-daughter branching pattern described in other models (7, 8, 19) in which a segment arises between two adjacent branch nodes. In the main lateral pattern of the monopodial canine airway, we considered the branch to be a segment as long as the whole, straight trunk and tapered in diameter regardless of how many lateral branches developed from it.
Third, based on this branch concept, we conceived a new branch-generation system for the monopodial airway following a pattern of irregularly dichotomized branching. In Fig. 4, we show the designation of the branches in a 2D lateral-branching wing with six generations.
Fourth, for each wing, a quantitative relationship existed in the 2D lateral-branching structure. For example, there was a strong relationship between the log branch generation number and log branch length or diameter at the branch root in the intermediate lobe (Fig. 5, B and C) (P < 0.01). All correlation coefficients for the log-generation number vs. log-length or log-diameter regression exceeded 0.95. The relationship of length vs. diameter (at the root of the branch) in the A lateral-branching wing was also highly significant (P < 0.002) (plot not shown).
The lateral branches in a single 2D lateral-branching wing also evenly branch off from the main trunk. For example, the intervals between two adjacent lateral branches in the A lateral-branch wing are approximately the same at any fractal scale in the intermediate lobe airways (Fig. 6B) (P < 0.03), and the interval is proportional to the main trunk length. We may obtain an equation from Fig. 6B as 1 See Fig. 7 for the tail length, interval, and lateral-branch number. We also found, in the case shown in Fig. 6B, that the relationships between the scale number and average interval or total lateral-branch number (Fig. 6C) were 2 and 3 All parameters were significant (P < 0.007).
Combining Eqs. 1, 2, 3, we got 4
We measured the other two airway trees and found the formula to be similar. Combining all data from the three canine airways together, we obtained 5
Thus the set of five equations with 10 parameters shown in Fig. 6B can be reduced to one equation with only two parameters (scale number and tail length). With those quantitative relationships, it is possible to predict the main trunk length of the main lateral-branch structure if we know the scale number and the tail length in this 2D wing of the intermediate lobe of the canine monopodial airway.
Fractal main lateral-branching pattern in the canine airway tree. The fractal main lateral-branching pattern is a pattern that exhibits similar structures at different spatial scales from macro- to microscopic scales, including lobes, sublobes, sub-sublobes, etc. For example, the fractal scale number shown in the intermediate and other lobes was as many as seven because a similar main lateral-branching pattern was shown at different spatial scales of at least seven levels. (Figure 2 only shows the 5 largest scales because the smaller branches are too small to display in detail.) Thus, if the total irregularly dichromatic branching scales in each lobe are seven, and at each scale there are at least three 2D lateral-branching wings, then, for the canine lung with six lobes, the total number of the smallest branches shown in the airway casts (which is all that we could measure) will be at least: 27 × 37 × 6 to ∼1–2 million.
In summary, we propose a new main lateral-branching pattern for the monopodial canine airway. The basic structure of this pattern includes one main trunk and three to four similar 2D lateral-branching structures (wings) surrounding it with an angle ranging from 90 to 150°apart, forming a 3D structure to fill the relevant space from the macro- to microscopic scales in the lobe 2. This main lateral-branching pattern exhibits a self-similarity fractal feature at different spatial scales from lobe, sublobe, etc. to form a self-similar fractal set, which includes up to seven levels of main lateral-branching structures.
We believe that this proposed fractal main lateral-branching pattern better describes the actual asymmetrical heterogeneous architecture of the monopodial canine airway than other patterns. The reasons are as follows.
First, this branching pattern describes the 3D structure characteristics of the monopodial airway, such as the canine airway, in which a series of lateral branches monopodially diverge dichotomously from the main trunk (22). Thus, when two lateral branches in different lateral-branching wings monopodially arise at the same site of the main trunk to form trichotomic branching structures, it will be a simple matter to determine their branching generation numbers as the model of Horsfield et al. did (8). This main lateral-branching pattern points out the fractal 3D asymmetrically branching structure, which other models have been unable to because they only focused on each individual branching node or branch segment between adjacent nodes based on the mother-daughter pattern. We believe that this main lateral-branching pattern in the monopodial branching airways must play an important functional role in preferential distribution of ventilation to peripheral regions of the lung, especially during higher inspiratory flow rates, because the approximately straight monopodial main trunk in this airway arrangement may support an optimal internal flow for faster convective gas transport with less energy dissipation during high-airflow ventilation (3, 12). Thus homogeneous and synchronous gas exchange can be achieved in the whole lung in the narrow, cone-shaped, canine chest, especially during the heavy breathing demands associated with either chase or escape activities. A recent study (18) on the guinea pig lung using functional magnetic resonance microscopy showed that hyperpolarized helium was rapidly distributed within the straight main trunk in the monopodial airway during inspiration, indicating the main lateral-branching structure facilitates gas transport within a straight trunk, leading to fast and simultaneous gas exchange in the whole lung.
Second, compared with other models involving 17–20 generations/orders (6, 8, 19) based on the mother-daughter branching pattern, the monopodial canine airway tree only has up to seven fractal scales based on the main lateral-branching pattern, which simplifies the geometric structural description of the monopodial canine airway. Also, this scheme emphasizes the overall fractal arrangement of the monopodial airway from macro- to microscopic spatial scales, which is not found in other models because they only focus on single branching nodes or segments in the mother-daughter branching pattern.
Third, the main lateral-branching pattern presents a more robust quantitative picture of the arrangement of the canine monopodial airway than other methods or models. Thus this fractal main lateral-branching pattern appears to give a better description of the 3D architecture in canine airway tree.
Kitaoka and Suki (10) suggested a formula to describe a method for predicting the diameter of the branches determined by the rate flow through them 6 where d0 is a diameter of the parent branch and d1 and d2 are the diameters of daughters 1 and 2, respectively. We applied their formula to our data considering a lateral branch monopodially dichotomizing from the main trunk as the daughter 1 branch and the main trunk before and after this branching node are the mother branch and daughter 2 branch, respectively (Fig. 8, left). We can then calculate the value of n based on the diameter ratios of two daughters to the mother branches as d1/d0 and d2/d0 based on Eq. 7 derived from Eq. 6 7
We found there to be a linear relationship between the daughter diameter (at the branch root) and the mother diameter (Fig. 8, left) of a lateral-branching wing in the intermediate lobe of the canine airway, indicating that the diameter ratio of the lateral branch (daughter 1) to main trunk at each node along the main trunk within this 2D wing was the same. This result was repeatable in all other lobes. The diameter ratio of d1/d0 or d2/d0 in this lateral-branching wing could be obtained from the slope of the linear regression. Then, we could calculate the n value with Eq. 6 for each lateral-branching wing based on the slope shown in the linear regression plot (Fig. 8). For example, the n value of the intermediate lobe of one canine airway cast shown in Fig. 8 is 2.40. We found that n values could be different in different 2D lateral-branching wings surrounding a same main trunk. Such n values ranged from 1.6 to 2.4 in four lateral-branching wings in the left-top lobe of the canine airway tree at the first fractal scale. A smaller n value indicates a smaller lateral-branch diameter compared with the main trunk diameter, and a smaller lateral-branch diameter indicates a shorter length of a lateral branch in this wing. Thus the lateral wing size is dependent on its n value to fill its relevant space. This result quantitatively describes the 3D branching structure in the main lateral-branching pattern. Thus, based on these specific features of the main lateral-branching pattern, it may be possible to predict the lateral-branching node locations and branching geometry in the monopodial canine airway. The same features shown in the branching structure of the intermediate lobe also appeared in other lobes in the monopodial canine airway (data not shown), and the results were repeatable in all three canine airway casts (Tables 1 and 2).
Several possible errors might exist in our analysis. First, the morphology of the silicon airway cast may not accurately duplicate the original because of lung drying and silicon shrinkage during the process of making the cast. Second, some peripheral bronchioles were not captured in the cast if the silicon sealer did not reach all terminal airways. Also, we analyzed the structural geometry in the main lateral-branching system with simple regression analysis. This may be too simple to describe the geometric features of the monopodial airway. The fluid dynamic implications of this main lateral-branching pattern are also not well defined and need to be investigated further. In addition, we found that the monopodial, asymmetrical branching pattern mainly appears in the more proximal conducting airways rather than in the peripheral small airways of the canine lung. One possible reason for more symmetrical branching structures in the peripheral airways may be as follows. The canine cone-shaped rib cage limits the space for lung development. Thus the major conducting airways project into a gradually reduced space. However, there are some regions in the lobe where branches may develop into a gradually increased space, for which a symmetrical branching arrangement is more appropriate.
In the monopodial canine airway, we also found that, at the same fractal scale, 2D lateral-branching structures surrounding one main trunk may have different lateral-branch numbers or segments of different diameters or lengths. This may reflect the different space available for filling in the lobe. We speculate that the branching architecture of the airway is regulated by both flow dynamics for efficient gas exchange and the relevant space available within a fractal scale, the lobe, and the rib cage.
In conclusion, this fractal airway branching pattern could better describe the actual asymmetrical heterogeneous architecture of the monopodial canine airway without the problem of inappropriate ordering of the parent and daughter branches.

Geek War Trailer (2010)
28 February 2010 75 mins
Geek War tells the tale of a mysterious VHS tape that dwells in the comic book shop of Deathbone (Billy Garberina), the eccentric barbarian shop owner. Deathbone has priced this tape at 1500 bucks and in 25 years nobody has ever forked over the cash to buy it, until now. Thus begins the Geek War. Both Max and Papillion fight to claim the tape as their own from the clutches of Tangerine, the hot girl in question.

Girl learns Snoop Dogg was her Secret Santa, returns favor
MADISON, Ala. (WTXF/STORYFUL) - Before Christmas, a Reddit user received a package in the mail as part of the site's Secret Santa gift exchange. Was she in for a surprise!
After sorting through the items, including a drone and some Snoop Dogg-branded clothes, Erin realized her Secret Santa was the rapper himself.
So Snoop Dogg is your reddit Secret Santa, huh?
Erin couldn't leave it at that. She canvassed Reddit for ideas to on what to send Snoop Dogg and eventually decided to mail him some local treats from her town of Madison, Alabama.
Included in her hometown haul were a batch of whiskey from a local distillery, cigars, a tobacco pipe and some lotions from a nearby store.
Thursday, Erin posted photos of her selection on the site and they quickly went viral.
It's not clear if Snoop Dogg has received the package yet, but when he does, he'll likely share the news on his Reddit or Twitter account.
Let us know if you see it!

1 July 2016
Today marks 100 years since the start of the 'Battle of the Somme' – it was fought between 1 July – 18 November 1916 in Somme river, north-central Somme and south-eastern Pas-de-Calais Départements, France.
Over one million people died during the Battle of the Somme.
Famous writer J.R.R. Tolkien was an officer in this terrible battle, and was one of the lucky men who returned home.
Haunted by his experiences in the battle, he escaped into his writing, and created a world that has lived on for generations.
This battle also known as the 'Somme Offensive', was a battle of the First World War fought by the armies of the British and French empires against the German Empire.
It was the largest battle of the First World War on the Western Front and one of the bloodiest battles in human history.
The casualties in the war were from French, British and German forces in the hundreds of thousands.

(NEW YORK) — Forget looking for brightly colored eggs in patches of grass, or even sprinting at full speed for some sweets.
Around the U.S., there are some Easter egg hunts, in honor of the Christian holiday, that went above and beyond.
At Boise State University in Idaho, one student built a robot called the "Turtlebot" to dole out eggs. Kids were encouraged to run around the school's blue turf to search for eggs at its "Easter Egg Hunt on the Blue" event, held on Saturday.

And at City of Life Church in Kissimmee, Florida, candy seemed to be falling from the sky Saturday. On the church's baseball field, kids not only met the Easter Bunny, but they also enjoyed a helicopter candy drop that didn't disappoint.

Vehicle2010 Audi S5 Premium Plus quattro 2dr Coupe AWD (4.2L 8cyl 6A)
ReviewMy first Audi and this car is awesome! The S5 is worth the extra $. Great sound, performance, style and handling. I've only had for 1 month so far, but all is good. The "new" navi system & tech pkg is nice and my two kids are fine with back seat area (rare for a coupe). The only option I ordered was the "Prestige Pkg". I'm not a track guy but I do enjoy performance driving. I've heard good things about Spt Diff, Drv Select, and Drv Asst pkgs as well. This is my 1st Tiptronic (all previous cars were 6sp) and I like the "sport option" shift mode as well as the "paddle shifting". I'm through the break in period and the car is a delight to drive. It's my daily driver, no regrets.
Best FeaturesOf course headlights, 3g MMi navi, body style, rear headrest pwr seat switch (easy for back seat passenger to exit), interior layout/seats, smart key, "sport mode" option w/tip, rear LED lights, reliable bluetooth.
Worst FeaturesBring back folding outside mirrors, adaptive hdlgts, rearview camera should be standard w/navi. Be aware of some early 10' factory builds that haven't included the new control arms. If not there can be a steering wheel vibration that can only be corrected through "updated" control arms.

I agree with ^^. I lost my husband to suicide in April of 2011. Thankfully I did not see it happen but I was the one to find him and those images are hard to hold. There wasn't anything at all that anyone could say in the beginning to help although I really felt like I was grasping trying to find that comfort. The best thing that you can do is to be there for her, to listen to her even when she repeats the same things over and over again.
Also, make sure you have someone you can talk to about your grief. I definitely wouldn't talk to your friend too much about your own pain at losing him and what happened for a little bit. At least until she can get through some of the shock she's going to be in for a while.
Huge hugs and thoughts to you and your friend. I absolutely hate it when I hear another family is going through this. It's really something she'll always carry. It truly feels like a life sentence. I hope that with some counseling and great friends (like you) she'll be able to put her life back together and find some peace for herself and her son.

Dallas, Texas (PressExposure) October 19, 2009 -- Self Help authors such as Wayne Dyer and even Dr. Phil have attempted the bridge between self help secular wisdom and inspired Christian self help. A new author, Reece Manley, may have made the connection missed by others in his work Spirit Thinking: Your 30 Day Guide to Enlightenment.
âWhat Dr. Manley has done is to combine the effectiveness of cognitive theories with spiritual principles and, in my opinion, has brought about the first true Christian and spiritual self help programming,â says Craig Matthews, Ph.D. âAs a secular counselor, I am impressed by the approach of Spirit Thinking and the results they are obtaining through the commission studies of TRI Consulting seem to bear out one simple fact: Christian self help is effective if done correctly.â
âWhat I tried to do with Spirit Thinking,â says Dr. Reece W. Manley, DD, M.Ed., MPM, âIs combine functional parts of cognitive psychology with spiritual principles in a way to bring about almost immediate effects on our thinking. Once thinking has been inspired, behavior quickly follows suit. While traditional psychologists are tied to the limitations of the human brain, I believe those working through a Christian self help or spiritual self help work are unlimited in their reserves to draw upon because the source of change is the Creator of us all.â
TRI Consulting has rated the approach of Spirit Thinking as being effective in initial results in reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety, addiction disorders and increasing self-esteem and a universal positive outlook. âChristian self help can now claim an effective tool in Spirit Thinking. Christian self help author Reece Manley seems to have the lead on the pack,â says Dr. Williams.
Spirit Thinking is based upon Dr. Reece W. Manley, DD, M.Ed., MPMâs Spirit Thinking: Your 30 Day Guide to Enlightenment which is widely available, including on Amazon.com. A number of churches, including the United Church of Christ, and service organizations such as the YMCA are being offered the project for consideration in their ongoing development.

Retired MP Tony Windsor says Howard-era mismanagement of the mining boom will return to haunt Prime Minister Tony Abbott.
The former key federal independent has backed a union report's calls for a sovereign wealth fund to help share the benefits of the resources industry among more Australians.
Mr Windsor launched the report, commissioned by the Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union, at an event in Sydney on Tuesday.
The report found that although the resources boom had helped shelter Australia from the worst of the global financial crisis, governments had "squandered" a chance to efficiently share its profits.
It argued Norway had done a better job of maximising the permanent gains from oil and gas extraction in the North Sea.
The report called for Australia to follow the Norwegian model and establish an Australia Development Fund to use some of the proceeds of resources development for long-term projects.
Mr Windsor said it was a sensible approach.
"During the Howard years we really didn't take advantage of the boom, we created a lot of middle-class welfare," Mr Howard said.
"I think a lot of people are aware now that you can't just go through boom cycles, issue currency to the community, and then when the bust comes - and Abbott's going to face this exact problem ... it's very difficult to take it back.
"The concept of a fund is that it does take advantage of the good times and smooth out the ripples."
The report found that the thriving resources sector had boosted jobs but the fly-in fly-out (FIFO) nature of much of the employment did not help mining towns.
It did however increase cost-of-living pressures for the towns' permanent communities.
And the share of income going to employee compensation has declined over the past 20 years, the report found, from 30 per cent to 20 per cent.
CFMEU president Tony Maher said the profits from Australia's mining boom had largely been exported.
"Too much has gone into the pockets of shareholders and management, overwhelmingly based overseas, and too little to the Australian community that owns the resources," he said.
Can't say I'm generally a great fan of special rules for one particular sector of the economy (positive or negative).
Lets just have consistent rules regarding tax and other areas of policy across the whole economy and keep things simple.

Winter is horrible for my diet. As soon as the cold winds start blowing, all I want to do is curl up on the couch with a warm plate of gooey cheesy hot food and hibernate until it is above 60. Unfortunately, that is not really an option for me, and I am trying to eat as healthy as I can before all of the Thanksgiving/Christmas dinners.
This morning I was craving a Philly sandwich. I decided to try to make a healthy low carb version in the crock pot as I have been feeling extremely lazy lately.
This is fast, filling, and healthy :)
- 1-1.5 lb. Flank Steak
- 1 8 oz. package sliced mushrooms
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 cups beef stock/broth
- 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
- 2 tsp. Italian seasoning
- Mayo to taste
- Sliced provolone
- Buns/wraps of your choice
- In a large skillet, heat up the oil and brown the steak on both sides.
- Meanwhile, in the crock pot, place sliced onion, seasoning, and mushrooms.
- Place meat on top and add broth.
- Cover and cook on High for 5 hours or Low for 10.
- Shred meat with two forks and serve on bread of your choice with mayo and cheese.

What To Expect
We ski in a wild and natural mountain environment. To ensure that you have a safe and enjoyable day and do not hinder the members of your group, you must be an advanced skier/rider. If you have not done backcountry skiing/riding, a reasonable comparison would be that you can comfortably ski/ride most terrain types in variable conditions at resorts in the western states.

- Be sensitive to and respectfu
- of the patient's and family's wishes.
- Use the most appropriate measures that are consistent with patient choices.
- Encompass alleviation of pain and other physica
- symptoms.
- Assess and manage psychological, socia
- and spiritual/religious problems.
- Offer continuity (the patient should be able to continue to be cared for, if so desired, by his/her primary care and specialist providers).
- Provide access to any therapy that may realistically be expected to improve the patient's quality of life, including alternative or nontraditiona
- treatments.
- Provide access to palliative care and hospice care.
- Respect the right to refuse treatment.
- Respect the physician's professiona
- responsibility to discontinue some treatments when appropriate, with consideration for both patient and family preferences.
- Promote clinica
- and evidence-based research on providing care at the end of life.

Terry Shaunessy is president and portfolio manager at Shaunessy Investment Counsel. His focus is on exchange traded funds (ETFs).
Top Picks:
Horizons S&P/TSX Equal Weighted 60 ETF
Each stock represents 1/60th or 1.7 per cent of the portfolio which contrasts to the market-weighted TSX 60 benchmark in which Royal Bank represents 8.2 per cent and the top 10 positions account for 46 per cent of the index. On a sector basis, the top 3 sectors of the TSX 60 are Financial Services (36 per cent), Energy (24 per cent) and Materials (13 per cent). The top three sectors of the TSX 60 EW are Energy (25 per cent), Materials (18 per cent) and Financials (17 per cent). The bottom line: if cyclicals outperform banks, you win!
Guggenheim S&P 500 Equal Weight Index ETF
Same story as HEW but this time each holding is 1/500th or 0.2 per cent of the total portfolio (talk about breadth) which contrasts to Exxon at 2.8 per cent and Apple at 2.6 per cent in the market weighted S&P 500. The sector profile is similar to the S&P 500 with Financials, Technology and Consumer Discretionary topping the list in the mid teens range but the sheer number of stocks in the equal weight index gives you more opportunity to gain. RSP ( up 26 per cent) is outperforming SPY ( up 20 per cent) on a one year basis ended June 30 – and that pattern should continue for a while.
iShares MSCI Europe Financials ETF
U.S. financial stocks fried the large cap U.S. benchmarks in 2008/2009 and U.S. bank stocks led the recovery to new highs in 2012/2013. The same thing is happening in Europe. Every big European financial stock is in this ETF starting with HSBC at 13 per cent of the total.
Past Picks: January 16, 2013
iShares Russell 2000 Index Fund (CAD-Hedged)
Then: $18.86
Now: $22.40
Total return: +19.33 per cent
Vanguard Canada S&P 500 Index ETF
Then: $25.74
Now: $30.87
Total return: +20.83 per cent
iShares S&P/TSX Global Base Metals Index Fund
Then: $13.76
Now: $11.41
Total return: -16.40 per cent
Total return average: +7.92 per cent
Market outlook:
We remain at maximum equity exposure in all of our accounts which is defined by a range of 65-90 per cent of total assets depending upon the client mandate. We look for economic growth to accelerate in the next 12 months on a global basis as Europe emerges from its austerity program producing a positive export picture for Asia. The U.S. will continue to motor along so that by year end 2014 there will be synchronized expansion among major economies, which will be good for natural and as well as human resources. Mid and long-term government bond yields will move up by 75-100 basis points but nothing meaningful will happen to short rates. Higher interest rates will not de-rail the expansion. Under these circumstances, earnings and dividends will rise at a rate that is much faster than expected, fundamentally supporting higher stock prices. We expect the 10-year bond yield to rise to 3%-3.25 per cent in the next 12 months and forecast an S&P 500 index level of 1900-2000 by year end 2014. The TSX should also come back to life powered by natural resource stocks. The Euro 350 offers the best potential gain over the next six-to-nine months led by banks and forex gains. Our equity portfolios are 50-per-cent U.S., 25-per-cent Canadian and 25-per-cent EAFE.
In addition to rising equity markets, we look for the breadth of the market to widen so that ETF investors may want to allocate a portion of their large-cap Canadian and U.S. index holdings to equally-weighted index ETFs. Equal dollar indexes tend to significantly outperform the key large cap benchmarks (S&P 500, TSX composite) when the majority of the industry sub-sectors are advancing. A market cap weighted index is always selling losers and buying winners on a re-balance whereas an equally weighted index is always selling winners and buying losers, which produces the outperformance when sector leadership rotates.

Hero Motocorp Maestro
Expected: early-2012 Price: Rs. 45,000-50,000
After having unveiled its first offering, the Impulse on-off road motorcycle, Hero MotoCorp is all ready to bring in its second product, the Maestro – an 110cc gearless scooter that will take on the Honda's Activa and the Suzuki Access. Shown at the company's launch in London alongside the Impulse, the Maestro is powered by an 109cc four-stroke, air-cooled, single-cylinder motor outfitted with an Advanced Microprocessor Ignition (AMI) system with an power output of 8.2bhp at 7500rpm. The design is conventional and follows simplistic styling without any fancy tit-bits but a rather subtle and elegant appeal to its form. The Maestro is expected to hit the roads by early 2012 and it will play a key role in MotoCorp establish its new identity in the Indian households.
2012 Honda Scooter
Expected: mid-2012 Price: Rs. 50,000-60,000
After having handed the Indian enthusiasts a fantastic product in the form of the CBR250R in the premium category, Honda has once again turned its attention back onto the volume segment and the first new product expected to roll out of their Gurgaon factory is an all-new scooter adding another model to the company's already illustrious scooter portfolio. The new scooter model from Honda is rumoured to be bigger in capacity taking it to 125cc and will feature telescopic front suspension with bigger wheels as well as more horsepower. The launch is expected to be sometime by this year-end or early next year. No technical data has been disclosed yet, but it is certain that the new scooter from Honda will pack in more punch than the Activa and the Dio.
2012 Yamaha Scooters
Expected: mid-2012 Price: Rs. 50,000-80,000
After having given some bumper motorcycle products in recent years, Yamaha India is now shifting its focus onto the scooter segment in the country, which is huge and growing at a solid pace. Currently, Yamaha is doing the necessary research on what scooters to bring into India from its huge scooter range. The scooters will be introduced in 2012 in India and they will be locally made at Yamaha's current production facilities in Surajpur and Faridabad. Expect the scooters to be just as stylish and upmarket as their motorcycles sold in the country, however, which also means that the products will also demand certain premium over its rivals. The made-for-India Yamaha scooter has been developed in Japan, similar to the first generation YZF-R15. The company has plans to invest about Rs. 10 crore in setting up a dedicated assembly line for its new scooter models.
Vespa LX125i Scooter
Coming in: Mid 2011 & Expected price: Rs. 50 - 70,000 (ex-showroom)
The legendary scooter brand Vespa is all set for another comeback in 2012, but this time it will be all by itself armoured with a scooter that clubs modern tech with retro charm. In all certainties, it will be the classic wasp-ish looking LX125 series of scooters from Vespa that will be launched in India to begin with. Piaggio Vehicles has already set up an all-new engine plant to make a range of engines and manufacturing lines for 125cc and larger petrol units is already in place.
2012 Honda Commuter Motorcycle
Expected: early-2012 Price: Rs. 40,000-45,000
After ending its 26 year long partnership with Hero Group, Honda is all geared to take on the commuter segment with a low-cost entry level motorcycle that the company will showcase at the 2012 Auto Expo and launch sometime in next financial year. Till the partnership existed, Honda was unable to enter the volume segment that has been dominated by Hero Group since the inception of its econo-friendly 100cc 4-stroke commuters during mid-eighties. With the joint venture ending last year, Honda is now free and determined to make its foray in the entry level market in order to achieve its target of selling 21 lakh units in the coming fiscal year. The new motorcycle will be a 100cc commuter unlike Honda's current low-capacity offering, the 110cc Twister, and it will be enticingly priced in the region of Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 45,000.

Milkweed Botanical Print, limited edtion, earth tones, square art, botanical art, organic art, flowers, pods, wall decor, sepia
Available in two sizes: 8.5 x 11" sheet size, (image size 7.25 x 7.25") Edition of 100
17 x 22" sheet size, (image size 10 x 10 ") Edition of 50
This limited edition fine art print is created from a process that blends my original photography, paint on Venetian plaster, and digital alchemy. Coming from a background in traditional printmaking, I bring a love of analog texture and paper and ink to all of my work, whether it is digital, mixed media or pure painting. This print is not a reproduction of a painting, but a contemporary print in which the print itself is the only form in which the artwork exists.
This print is part of a series called "The Gardener's Almanac of Irreproducible Phenomena" in which I attempt to capture the mysteries of my garden as it moves through the seasons. "Milkweed" is a botanical study of the butterfly's favorite flower in autumn. I think the pods are much more interesting than the blossom, although I am guessing the butterfly would disagree.
The finished piece is meticulously proofed and printed on archival paper with pigment inks rated to last for 100 years or more. The prints come with a certificate of authenticity verifying the edition number and the edition size.
These prints are traditionally numbered and signed in light pencil with the number on the left and the signature on the right, just below the image. They can be framed with or without a mat. The small botanicals are sized to fit Aaron Brothers Signature Frames, or frames from Crate & Barrel, but can also work in Ikea frames or others with a more vertical proportion.
*Prints are sold unframed.
Packaging Detail: Shipped flat in a sturdy cardboard mailer.

An astronaut has become the first person to brew a coffee in space.
Samantha Cristoforetti, from Italy, has the world's first orbiting barista after posting an image of herself sipping from a cup specially made for use in zero gravity on Twitter from the International Space Station on Sunday (03.05.15).
Alongside the snap, she wrote: "Coffee: the finest organic suspension ever devised. Fresh espresso in the new Zero-G cup! To boldly brew...(sic)"
