Treating Weight Loss
at the Root Level
Get to the Root of Your Weight Problem
We are here to help you get the body and health you deserve
Have you tried popular diets such as Atkins or South Beach, or even completed a commercial weight-loss program such as Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers, only to lose a few pounds and then gain it all back? If you're tired of weight-loss gimmicks and dead-end diets, it's time for you to consider medical weight loss.
Medical weight loss is rapid and safe weight loss under the care of a medical doctor. It does what other diet programs cannot: "Identify and treat the root causes of weight gain by reversing the medical causes of weight gain, restoring a healthy metabolism, and blocking excessive food cravings through natural and prescription methods."
Why Medical Weight Loss?
It is reasonable to ask "Why medical weight loss versus other non-medical weight loss programs?" And the answer is that the body resists weight loss through several hormonal, metabolic and behavioral pathways. Only a medical doctor with a focus on and special training in weight loss understands the body systems sufficiently to treat the root causes of weight gain.
Non-medical, commercial weight-loss programs only scratch the surface in treating excessive weight gain, which has led to billions being spent every year on dieting and weight loss programs, but with very low success rates. Additionally, commercial weight-loss programs are unable to provide the monitoring by a trained physician of safe weight reduction if prescription appetite suppressants are used based on a person's unique health status.
Progam Design
Our weight-loss program is designed to be in-depth, personal and life-changing. Dr. Brown's philosophy is that excessive weight gain is a multi-layered process involving much more than just will power and calories in/calories out.
By the time most people consider medical weight loss, they have already tried several commercial weight loss programs and fad diets but are still unsuccessful at sustainable weight loss. The truth of the matter is that after so many unsuccessful attempts to lose weight some people may have lost confidence in their ability to succeed at sustainable weight loss. Thankfully medical weight loss provides a solution to this very common situation.
With your positive desire, persistence, and determination to be healthy and lose weight, our program restores your confidence that you can achieve your ideal body weight. Our program identifies and resolves whichever psychological barriers that are standing in your way. And it reverses any medical causes of weight gain, restores a healthy metabolism and blocks excessive food cravings through natural and prescription methods.
The program is most effective over either six or twelve months, depending on your unique needs. It is divided into a three-step medically supervised program to help you accomplish your weight loss goals safely and quickly. The first step is the active weight loss phase which lasts until your desired weight is reached. The second step is the transitional phase where you add certain types of foods back to your diet and begin to accelerate physical activity. The third step is the maintenance phase where you will maintain your ideal weight with our continued support. Over the period of the program you will have one to two monthly face-to-face or live video, life-changing sessions with Dr. Brown and/or health coaches. Each session addressing and implementing the focus points as outlined below based on your unique health status. The reason the program works best over a minimum six months of duration is that the weight didn't come on overnight and won't go away overnight. You need time, space, and support to build the new habits you need to get the results you want.
Dr. Brown's program is a serious program designed for people serious about losing weight and improving their health. Click learn more to get more details about the program's structure.

During program, you're under the direct supervision of a medical doctor. It is certainly okay for other non-physicians to encourage and instruct people on weight loss, but only a medical doctor has the extent of knowledge to understand the complete picture about your health and can safely prescribe weight loss regimens.
It is virtually impossible to get better at something, even weight loss, without honest feedback on how you're doing. We act as your accountability partner to give you the honest and constructive feedback you need to get better one change at a time. And our feeback always comes from a place of mutual understanding - not jugdement.
We've found after proper behavioral counseling, food education, and metabolic damage repair, that most people don't need prescription medications for weight loss. But if you're unique health and life situation requires it, FDA approved prescription medications are available under the direct care of Dr. Brown.
COME OFF Rx MEDICATIONS
We don't believe that it is necessary for people to count calories chronically when they re-learn how to eat. Over the first one to two weeks of the program, you'll maintain a calorie diary just to get a true sense of how many carbs and calories you consume daily for a complete picture of your diet. After this period, trust us you will not need to count calories anymore!
We'll be there for you.For many people, losing weight and maintaining is a lifelong journey. Like any journey, staying on the right path isn't always easy. Continued and ongoing support is one of the most important components of long term weight control. After completing the program, you can have periodic drop-ins and followups.
Under the direct supervision of your primary care doctor and Dr. Brown, you may be able to stop certain prescription medications as your weight and health returns to normal. This program is all about returning the body back to its natural state and avoiding unhealthy man-made toxins and prescription medications if possible.

He is engaged to actress Kerry Washington (2007).
Growing up, he would usually get casted as the funny friend or kid-next-door. But in Honey (2003), it launched a new outcome for him as the villain.
At the end of every week, Christian, David, and the other Newsies cast members would pull special pranks on director Kenny Ortega , many of which included filling his trailer with newspapers and soaking him with waterguns before leaving at the end of shooting.
His younger brother, Lev, also appeared in Newsies as an extra.
David Moscow: (about Aaron Lohr) He was doing stuff to me!
David: It's pretty strenuous, because everything is really physical. All the things we do is running around, and jumping, and dancing, and singing and so it's-you get home and you're really tired and you, basically crash.
David Moscow: I don't make-cause trouble to anyone! Did anybody tell you that?

J.R. Moehringer grew up captivated by a voice. It was the voice of his father, a New York City disc jockey who vanished before J.R. spoke his first word. Sitting on the stoop, pressing an ear to the radio, J.R. would strain to hear in that plumy baritone the secrets of masculinity and identity. Though J.R.'s mother was his world, his rock, he craved something more, something faintly and hauntingly audible only in The Voice.
At eight years old, suddenly unable to find The Voice on the radio, J.R. turned in desperation to the bar on the corner, where he found a rousing chorus of new voices. Cops, bookies, soldiers, and stumblebums, all sorts of men gathered in the bar to tell their stories and forget their cares. The alphas along the bar, including J.R.'s uncle Charlie, a Humphrey Bogart look-alike; Colt, a Yogi Bear sound-alike and Joey D, a soft-hearted brawler, took J.R. to the beach, to ballgames, and ultimately into their circle. They taught J.R., tended him, and provided a kind of fatherhood-by-committee.
Torn between the stirring example of his mother and the lurid romance of the bar, J.R. tried to forge a self somewhere in the center. But when it was time for J.R. to leave home, the bar became an increasingly seductive sanctuary, a place to return and regroup during his picaresque journeys. Time and again, the bar offered shelter from failure, rejection, heartbreak, and eventually from reality.
In the grand tradition of landmark memoirs, The Tender Bar is suspenseful, wrenching, and achingly funny. A classic American story of self-invention and escape, of the fierce love between a single mother and an only son, it's also a moving portrait of one boy's struggle to become a man, and an unforgettable depiction of how men remain, at heart, lost boys.

"Mosaika - Canada through the Eyes of Its People" Radiates a Nation Rich in Achievement, Culture and Values
KITCHENER, Ont. - (February 27, 2013) - For the fourth consecutive summer Christie® 3-chip DLP® projectors will be lighting up Ottawa's famed Parliament Hill with a rich and engaging display that attracts more than 250,000 visitors annually. The gripping narrative of Canadian history via the National Capital Commission's sound and light show, "Mosaika - Canada Through the Eyes of Its People" begins July 10 and ends September 7 this year.
Accompanied by lights, a 5.1 surround system, and audio track produced by Groupe Phaneauf, the four Christie Roadster S+20K and five Christie Roadster HD18K projectors paint a video canvas onto the 472-feet long by 246-feet tall, six story high Parliament Building Centre Block including the iconic Peace Tower in the middle. One portion features a dramatic 3D segment where the entire structure appears to move in and out in 3D space.
A Journey in Three Acts
Act One explores Canadian landscapes and our founding peoples. The journey begins at Canada's beautiful west coast, then soars eastward, over the Rocky Mountains, through the foothills and prairies, across the Great Lakes, down the St. Lawrence River, into the Atlantic Ocean, and then northeast to modern-day Newfoundland and Labrador. From here, the audience is taken north, passing ice floes and polar bears, into Canada's Arctic region, where the aurora borealis dances in the velvety night sky. Along the way, the audience discovers the gorgeous mosaic of natural landscapes, flora and fauna that make up Canada's diverse natural world.
Canada's founding peoples are also introduced in Act One, and the storyline carries the audience beyond Canada's Confederation in 1867. 'Mosaika' presents how multitudes of people, ideas and voices have combined in a great discussion to create this country.
Act Two presents Canadian achievements. It begins with the railroad - the great iron link that tied the country together and encouraged westward expansion and settlement. Other achievements are explored, in war and in peace, social achievements that helped to create Canada's rights and freedoms, as well as Canadian achievements in the arts and culture. Great Canadians are encountered, including Agnes Macphail, Tommy Douglas, Terry Fox and many others.
Act Three is a discussion of Canadian values. In the third act of 'Mosaika,' Canadians from across the country are seen and heard, discussing what is important to them, what it means to be Canadian, and their hopes for the future. Their encouraging and inspirational words drive 'Mosaika' toward its emotional climax.
From History to Projection Mapping Reality with Christie Reliability
Jean-Marc Beauvalet, manager, technical services, National Capital Commission (NCC), said the NCC used two Christie projectors for the predecessor of the current show; however, 'Mosaika' was one of its first forays into multi-projector use and projection mapping.
"Because of our experience with them, we were fully confident using the Christie projectors for 'Mosaika,'" said Beauvalet. "Christie has played an important role in helping us achieve our goals with this presentation - to reflect what Canada and its history are all about."
"We had used Christie projectors before and were fully confident of their performance - and, as the projectors play such a crucial role, that made everything else easier to deal with. After Moment Factory - the show designer - did a full pixel mapping of the buildings, our biggest challenge was how to repeat the placement of these projectors to ensure a perfect performance every night. The solution they came up with for the projectors that stayed on the hill was to have the projectors on hydraulic lifts with repeatable heights; they have a sensor that stops them at 120 inches so every performance is exact."
Not only the production itself but also the public and media reaction impresses the NCC.
"The projection mapping creates something magical that people aren't expecting - they don't expect to see their Parliament Building transformed into such beautiful colors and delightful imagery. People say, 'this is incredible. I never thought I would see anything like this in my life.' It's an honor to see visitors and Canadians with smiling faces telling us how wonderful the show experience was," Beauvalet concluded. "With the help of Christie, we have achieved our goal with this presentation - to instill a strong feeling of pride in our country and our capital with a one-of-a-kind free nightly show. I can say that Christie and its technology are extremely reliable. They deliver exactly what they say they will."
"'Mosaika' is an extraordinary accomplishment that presents the history of Canada in a way that is entertaining, educational, and visually compelling," said Kathryn Cress, vice president, global and corporate marketing, Christie. "We are very proud the National Capital Commission selected Christie projectors to be part of this exceptionally innovative and memorable event."

IRVING {AP} Trent Green is getting a pretty good idea of how cozy Kurt Warner had it leading the St. Louis Rams offense last year.
Green threw touchdown passes of 15 and 48 yards and safety Keith Lyle returned a fumble 42 yards for another touchdown, leading the Rams to a 24-17 victory over the Dallas Cowboys in the preseason finale for both teams Thursday night.
Keeping stars healthy for the opener was more important than tuning up for the regular season. St. Louis (2-2) kept Warner and running back Marshall Faulk on the sidelines in pads, while Dallas (0-5) let running back Emmitt Smith wear shorts as he capped a preseason in which he never played.
The Cowboys extended their preseason losing skid to 14 of 15. This was Dallas' second winless preseason in the last three years after two in its first 38.
Green played the entire first half and was 9-of-12 for 171 yards. The players around him made him sparkle.
Isaac Bruce caught a pass on his back, then lateraled to Ricky Proehl for a 50-yard gain. Chris Thomas had two steps on two defenders when he caught a bomb, then walked into the end zone when the beaten Cowboys collided and fell.
Az-Zahir Hakim made Green's short TD pass look easy by speeding past his defender on a perfect post pattern. And when a drive stalled at the Dallas 6, Jeff Wilkins salvaged it by kicking a 24-yard field goal.
Dallas opened the game with its first-string offensive line and tight end David LaFleur together for the first time this preseason. Their protection helped Troy Aikman go 6-of-7 for 71 yards in his only two drives.
But the results weren't that good as the Cowboys continued to struggle deep in enemy territory.
Aikman's first series ended with an underthrown lob to Joey Galloway that Dexter McCleon intercepted in the end zone. The second one started on the St. Louis 34 and ended four plays later with a 44-yard field goal by Tim Seder.
Clint Stoerner drove the Cowboys to two touchdowns in 21/2 quarters: an 8-yard pass to Wane McGarity and a 7-yard run by Michael Wiley that was set up by a 26-yard reception by McGarity. McGarity also had a 51-yard punt return.
James McKnight was another plus for Dallas, catching four passes for 70 yards. He made some nice moves after one short catch, turning it into a 36-yard gain. He also made a downfield block on a long running play.
Wiley was the culprit on Lyle's touchdown. After gaining 23 yards on four straight carries, he fumbled on the fifth and the safety scooped it up and ran it back with only Stoerner chasing him.
The best news of the game was that neither team suffered any serious injuries. The worst of it was a strained hamstring that knocked out Dallas receiver Chris Brazzell in the second quarter.
Warner sat to protect him from getting injured and to rest a sore right shoulder. He was on the field 90 minutes before kickoff, lobbing the ball 12 and 20 yards for about 15 minutes.
Prior to the game, the Cowboys reached an injury settlement with quarterback Paul Justin and claimed tight end Chris Fontenot off waivers from Oakland. Dropping Justin saves Dallas saves $500,000 in salary cap money.

Orochimaru was shaking with jittery laughter as he ran up the stair two at a time. "I did it!" He said as he threw open the door of his apartment and kicking it shut with his foot. "They're all dead, no one can get to her anymore!" he screamed with laughter.
He collapsed against the wall, still roaring with laughter as his blood coated hand searched for the light switch. He found it and turned it on. His laughter halted and his smiled disappeared as his eyes landed on the woman standing in the middle of his living room with her arms crossed and head down.
Usually, Orochimaru would been quite turned one by the sight of his girlfriend standing clad only in one of his shirts, but it was what was on the shirt that caused his stomach to go cold.
She was wearing the white, blood-stained, long sleeved shirt and jeans he had been wearing when he had broken Deidara's arms and pulled most of Ino's hair out. She knew the truth, she knew what sin he had committed.
"You like it?" she asked in a low voice.
Orochimaru stared at her in fear. "I…"
She walked slightly closer to him. So beautiful.
"Does it look better on me…than it did on you when you slaughtered Deidara and Ino?"
He gasped at the coldness and hatred in her voice.
"I knew something like this would happen." She rasped, her hand clutching on of stained areas on her chest. "You were always shooting death glares at people who even batted their eyes at me and would threaten any one, man or woman, who tried to talk to me. But…" Her hand clenched the shirt even tighter; her face was plagued with anger and…guilt?
"Why?" she screamed at him. "Why Deidara and Ino? You knew what they meant to me!"
Orochimaru looked at the ground.
"Why!" she shouted again, causing him to jump slightly. "Damn it, answer me!"
Tears were swelling up in the corners of her eyes now. Crying was something she hadn't done since the night Itachi and Deidara raped her and she went to Orochimaru for comfort. There was always something about him that made her fell so at ease and happy, even when he acted like an ass. But now that the images of the comrades whom she had hated yet loved so much were flashing across her mind, she hated him.
"Because…" he choked out, his hands curled up into fists and he looked up at her. His hair covered half his face, as if he were deciding between the right and wrong. "Because…I love you, Anko."
Anko's eyes widened and her stomach went cold; there was something so wrong about how he said that.
"I love you, Anko. I love you so much."
Anko started to step back as he staggered closer.
"I don't want anyone to hurt you…like Itachi and Deidara did."
She gasped. "Itachi? You got Itachi, too?"
"I had to." His shaky reached out to her, but she ducked from it and ran, only to be grabbed surprisingly gently.
"Anko." He said as he tried to contain her. Her struggles caused both of them to fall back onto the floor. She kicked and tried to squirm out from under him but he in such a gingerly way forced both of her hands beside her head and straddled her to keep her from kicking her. "Anko, stop."
He forced his mouth down on hers and muffled her screams of hate and pain. They remained in that position until Anko could only shake.
"I can't imagine," he stated in between pecks around her neck. "someone else ever kissing you," his hands cautiously left her wrists and traveled slowly to the area below her breasts "touching you," one of his hands went back up to a strayed tear and wiped it away and cupped her cheek "or loving you, Anko. I want you to be mine and mine alone." He eased off of her slightly. He was going to allow her this one choice, or she could join her "friends" in the afterlife.
Anko stared at him in disbelief. Was this truly who she had fallen in love with a year ago? This possessive, crazed, yet wonderful monster, who was willing to destroy her demons for her. Her own shaking hands traveled to his waist, holding it like he had held her arms, keeping him from an escape. One reached up to cup his cheek. "I…"
She did love him. She loved his strength, his jealousy, and every little thing. However, there was a time when she felt the same about Itachi, Deidara, and Ino.
"I do understand…but loved them, too."
Orochimaru frowned.
"Just please get off me."
His teeth gnashed together and he yanked her up with force he had never used on her. He threw her into a wall and grabbed her shoulders to keep her in place.
"How can you not understand?" he raged. "Do you not remember the night you came to me after what they did to you?"
Anko squeezed her eyes shut, the memories nowhere near welcomed.
"Itachi and Deidara drugged and raped you! And that fucking Ino just watched. So help me God, Anko, I stayed neutral for your sake then, but I will be damned that I'd do it now just because you fucking forgave them!"
"Shut up!"
He yanked her chin up. "No, dear, you shut up." He kissed her harshly, not caring if it hurt her. One of his hands crept down to the jeans she was wearing and tried to undo the buttons while she struggled.
"Orochimaru," she got a leg to his stomach. "STOP!"
She kicked him so that he stumbled back and fell over the coffee table sitting there.
He stayed on his side for a moment, his adrenalin slowly fading away. He was no better than them, forcing himself on her like he had tried to. He sat up on one knee and stared at her curled up form on the wall. She looked so scared, so much like she had that night two years ago. He watched her stand up, her arms curled against her chest.
Something was controlling her actions. The thing made her walk to him, to stare at him, to crouch down to his level. She was looking at the face of a monster, which thought of her to be his whole world. This was so terrifying to her, yet so wholesome. Her slender arms circled his neck and closed him in a tight embrace.
"You're crazy." She cried. "You're so fucking crazy."
He copied her motions. "But you love it so much."
A few hours later, Anko was staring at the shadows dancing on his wall to the rhythm of his hand stroking her back.
She was covered with sweat and his body was burning next to her, yet her entire being was still so cold. But there was no longer a sense of remorse or anger, just fulfillment. She kept trying to think of why she had felt that way earlier. She knew it had something to do with two blonds and a pacifist liar, but she couldn't even remember what they looked like so she couldn't match up anything.
Her memories of her old world were fading like the scent of blood on the clothes Orochimaru had ripped off of her.

Alistair Is Best Young Stonemason In UK
8:26am 30th December 2013
A Weymouth College student has been named the best young stone mason in the UK.
Alistair Mason won a gold at the Worldskills UK Competition.
Fellow student Jordan Vincent was highly commended for his work.
Alistair now hopes to represent the UK at the World Skills event in Sao Paulo in 2015.
The College has been a world-leader in stonemasonry for some years now and Alistair is the latest in a long line of outstanding young stonemasons to have emerged from this programme.
College Vice-Principal Rob Jones said: "We are incredibly proud of Alistair's success and the efforts of the stonemasonry department, which has rightly earned a reputation as one of the very best in the world. To produce gold and silver medallists in the last two international competitions, and to have another potential medallist in Alistair is testimony to the outstanding work of the department. It's very satisfying to see Weymouth and Portland leading the way for stonemasonry in the UK."

Community Supported Agriculture
We are sold out of CSA shares for the 2017 season, but please read on to learn more about what CSA means to Bumbleroot! The goal of our CSA is to build a sense of community around our farm by providing fresh, nutritious food to local families. We hope to form strong relationships with people from our community who are interested in eating healthy food, knowing where that food comes from, and supporting the farmers that grow it.
What is a CSA?
A CSA is a mutually beneficial exchange. You become a CSA member when you buy a share at the beginning of our growing season. Your investment helps us with our early season costs (seeds, tools, compost, etc.). In return, we provide you with a weekly share of our harvest all season long. Our CSA lasts for 20 weeks, from early June through mid-October, and each week you pick up a box containing a variety of the freshest in-season produce available on the farm.
How much Does A Share Cost?
We offer two sizes, a small share ideal for individuals or couples, and a family share for a family of 4 or for two couples to split.
Individual Share: $400 (Divided by 20 weeks, you are paying just $20 each week)
Family Share: $550 ($27.50 worth of produce per week)
The bonus is that each week we give you at least 10% more value in your box than what you paid for- that means you're receiving a better deal than you would at the grocery store or the farmers' market. You can count on even more value in your box during peak season when tomatoes, summer squash and cucumbers are flourishing. Your early investment is key to helping us get our season started!
What can I expect in my box?
We aim for 6-10 different types of vegetables and culinary herbs in your box each week; a colorful selection of what is ripe and ready to harvest in the fields. Our goal is to provide you with a great value and a wide range of delicious produce including salad greens, cooking greens, root vegetables, fruiting veggies, and alliums (scallions, onions, leeks). The bounty on the farm changes throughout the season, and your box may be a little heavier in August than it was in early June. See examples of different boxes on our "What's in your box" page to decide which share size is best for you.
Where and when do I pick up my share?
Our 2017 pick-ups will take place every Wednesday, beginning June 7 through mid-October. See below for pick-up locations and times:
Windham Pick-up:
Bumbleroot Organic Farm
Hours: Wednesday 4:30-7pm
Come to the farm to pick up your share, walk around the farm, and chat with the farmers!
Address: 196 Highland Cliff Road in South Windham (20 minutes from downtown Portland and 10 minutes from downtown Westbrook)
Portland Pick-up Locations:
1) Portland Food Co-op
Hours: Wednesdays 4-8pm
This year the Co-op will have an unmanned pick-up on Wednesdays to offer extended hours and more convenience for our members. Boxes will be dropped off at the Co-op by 4pm and will be available to pick up through 8pm when the Co-op closes.
Address: 290 Congress St. (at the bottom of Munjoy Hill)
2) Rosemont Neighborhood
Hours: Wednesdays 4-7pm
Hosted by one of our members, we will leave the boxes and flower shares in their garage and you can swing by and pick yours up between the hours of 4pm and 7pm.
Address: Edwards St. (private address)
Flower Shares
Our 10 week personal flower CSA is sold out for the 2017 season, though we do still have business shares available. The cost of our personal flower share is $120 for ten weeks of mixed bouquets, beginning at the end of June. You will receive a medium-sized bouquet each week for 10 weeks - all the flowers are grown, gathered and arranged on the farm in Windham. Business flower shares are $200 for 10 weeks and are arranged in a vase, jar, or vessel. Flower share pick-ups will take place at the same time and place as our vegetable share pick-ups.
How do I pay?
You may purchase your share online here or send a check made payable to Bumbleroot Organic Farm at 196 Highland Cliff Rd. Windham, ME 04062. Thank you for supporting our farm!

Welcome to the hilarious, strange, elegiac, outrageous world of David Sedaris. In Naked, Sedaris turns the mania for memoir on its ear, mining the exceedingly rich terrain of his life, his family, and his unique worldview-a sensibility at once take-no-prisoners sharp and deeply charitable. A tart-tongued mother does dead-on imitations of her young son's nervous tics, to the great amusement of his teachers; a stint of Kerouackian wandering is undertaken (of course!) with a quadriplegic companion; a family gathers for a wedding in the face of imminent death. Through it all is Sedaris's unmistakable voice, without doubt one of the freshest in American writing.
One of the most talked-about, most enjoyed bestsellers of the year, Naked offers a collection of hilarious, touching, genre-bending vignettes. . .

As CNN on Monday breathlessly announced yet another poll from media sources bearing good news for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, there was one very loud, dissenting voice.
Kathleen Willey, who accused former President Bill Clinton of sexual misconduct while she was a White House aide, started an avalanche of attacks against CNN by delivering a succinct denunciation of the network.
The flareup started innocuously, with CNN's Jake Tapper tweeting out a preview of coming attractions.

A little while later, Willey pounced.

Willey had one more shot.
"journalist?" How much is she paying you? BYW when are u airing Charles Ortel' interview? Afraid of the truth? I was there.
— KATHLEEN WILLEY (@kathleenwilley) October 24, 2016
Her tweet referred to Charles Ortel, a writer and financial expert who has been critical of the Clinton Foundation.
Advertisement - story continues below
Willey, who first told her story of being sexually assaulted in 1998 as part of the investigation into Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky, has returned to the national stage this year in support of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
She found support for her position on Twitter.
@kathleenwilley A poll of 2,000 Democrats and 5 Republicans finds that Hillary will win with 99% of the vote….
— AW777 (@TAW111) October 24, 2016
Trump has also questioned the accuracy of polls, roundly attacking them as an example of media bias.
Advertisement - story continues below
"What they do is they show these phony polls where they look at Democrats, and it's heavily weighted with Democrats. And then they'll put on a poll where we're not winning, and everybody says, 'Oh, they're not winning,'" Trump said Monday in Boynton Beach, Fla. "The truth is, I think we're winning."
Trump has indicated he sees media bias and dubious polling as an extension of a larger issue in the campaign.
"There is nothing the political establishment will not do, and no lie they will not tell, to hold on to their prestige and power at your expense. The Washington establishment, and the financial and media corporations that fund it, exists for only one reason: to protect and enrich itself," he said earlier this month.
"The most powerful weapon deployed by the Clintons is the corporate media," Trump added. "Let's be clear on one thing: The corporate media in our country is no longer involved in journalism. They are a political special interest, no different than any lobbyist or other financial entity with an agenda. And their agenda is to elect the Clintons at any cost, at any price, no matter how many lives they destroy. For them, it is a war — and for them, nothing is out of bounds."

Recently I went and saw the movie Captain Fantastic at a local theatre here in Victoria, BC. It was a drama with funny moments sprinkled throughout it as we follow the adventures of Ben (played by Viggo Mortenson) and his family after the passing of his wife. In particular, I enjoyed the spotlight on books that came with the viewing experience – although I admit to not being quite as immersed in the literary world as the family in this film! I'm also not living off the grid like this family.
Ben, Books & Family Life
In Captain Fantastic, Ben has a unique vision of parenting, to put it mildly. He and his six kids live in the wilderness of the Pacific Northwest, where he regularly puts them through tough physical and intellectual challenges as his form of education. Books are a huge part of this homemade curriculum; he assigns books to each of the children and asks them to present analyses to him of what they read as a way to strengthen their critical thinking skills.
The kids are growing up talking about the evils of Marxism one moment and hunting for their next meal the next moment. Now this is an interesting take on homeschooling. Oh, and, rather than celebrating Christmas, the family celebrates Noam Chomsky Day instead. This was not my childhood of trying to escape gym classes (awkward, skinny me) and I don't recall learning anything about Marxism until I was a young adult.
Books in Captain Fantastic
As I watched the movie, I couldn't help but get excited about all of the books being mentioned in the movie. I am such a bookworm – and proud of it! As I left the theatre, I commented to my group that I wanted to read some of the books mentioned and also research about outdoor life. Am I the only one who likes doing research out there or do you enjoy learning too? Just curious about you blog readers.
There are many books the children read as Ben drives them around in a bus called "Steve" (the bus is also where they live). There are shelves of books inside, and many of them are mentioned throughout the movie. The kids are reading advanced books that include:
- Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond
- Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
- Middlemarch: A Study of Provincial Life by George Eliot
- The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
More about Literature and Captain Fantastic
In doing research (woohoo!) for this blog post, I discovered that actor Mortenson writes poetry and also owns his own publishing company called Perceval Press. He composes music too. So, he is a creative.
Also, the writer and director of Captain Fantastic is Matt Ross, whose name might sound familiar if you are a fan of American Horror Story. I'm not a horror fan and instead take under the blanket like it is my long-awaited home during any scenes that are slightly scary.
Ok, back to the movie. Captain Fantastic is one heck of an offbeat movie. But it had heartwarming moments and did make me laugh. It also horrified me in parts too! It had some good reminders too about how wonderful living simply can be… including the moment when Ben and his kids turn down the opportunity to stay in a relative's basement overnight as they want to spend the night instead sleeping under the stars. They really should bring their books with them, though.
The problem here, of course, is that not everything can be taught in a book. In fact, the oldest son Bodevan says to his dad at one point in the movie, "Unless it comes in a book I don't know anything!" Aha, there is a difference between being book smart and street smart. Bodevan, for example, lacks the social understanding of how to act toward girls, as shown in a few of the scenes.
Could you live in the ways described here? Also, have you read any of the books listed above? I have not read any of them… yet.

"Oil Change"
Just needed an oil change. Got my vehicle in within 10 minutes of my arrival but took too long to be completed. Was there over an hour. Eric was very nice and helpful but looked worn out. Everybody was coming to him for everything.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
England with the Norman Conquest of 1066. Hodgekiss is a name that comes from the Norman personal name Roger. Hotchkis was a baptismal name which means Roger. As the naming tradition grew in Europe baptismal names began to be introduced in many countries. Baptismal names were sometimes given in honor of Christian saints and other biblical figures. There are very few Christian countries in Europe that did not adopt surnames from these religious figures.
Hodgekiss Early Origins
Shropshire where they held a family seat from very early times and were granted lands by Duke William of Normandy, their liege Lord, for their distinguished assistance at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 A.D.
Hodgekiss Spelling Variations
Hodgekiss Spelling Variations
Anglo-Norman names are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. When the Normans became the ruling people of England in the 11th century, they introduced a new language into a society where the main languages of Old and later Middle English had no definite spelling rules. These languages were more often spoken than written, so they blended freely with one another. Contributing to this mixing of tongues was the fact that medieval scribes spelled words according to sound, ensuring that a person's name would appear differently in nearly every document in which it was recorded. The name has been spelled Hotchkiss, Hotchkis and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
For many English families, the political and religious disarray that plagued their homeland made the frontiers of the New World an attractive prospect. Thousands migrated, aboard cramped disease-ridden ships. They arrived sick, poor, and hungry, but were welcomed in many cases with far greater opportunity than at home in England. Many of these hardy settlers went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations in which they landed. Among early immigrants bearing the name Hodgekiss or a variant listed above were: Richard Hotchkiss, who settled in Virginia in 1635; Adam Hotchkiss settled in New England in 1659; William Hotchkiss settled in Maryland in 1775.

I ordered the medium in this jacket and it was too snug on me- 5'6" and 140 pounds- but it fit my daughter who is taller and twenty pounds lighter.
The sleeves are long- which is great for wind protection. The lining is dreamy soft. The pockets are fabulous.

Verified Buyer Reviewed by omg224 from Chicago on Sunday, March 1, 2015I haven't yet been able to wear this jacket by itself as it is too cold in Chicago this winter, but I have layered it under two of my lighter weight down jackets(a Patagonia Fiona parka and a Mountain Hardwear down "sweater"). It is cut kind of narrow but is not restricting. I am 5'6" and 140# with wide shoulders and a Medium fits fine. It hasn't been warmer than freezing here in weeks and this jacket has kept me toasty as an underlayer. I look forward to wearing it on its own this spring!
Verified Buyer Reviewed by Irina from Boston on Tuesday, February 24, 2015This is probably my 20th purchase of Icebreaker and so far the best. This jacket is perfect. I'm size 6-8 US and got M, there is a room to wear my cascade jacket underneath, but not anything thicker. Hood fits very well, sleeves are on the longer side for sure as many other reviewers pointed. But for the otter jacket it's fine.
Verified Buyer Reviewed by Dusty Trail from Colorado on Friday, December 19, 2014I bought this jacket because I walk to work and often it is cold and rainy.
I had no problem with staying dry but the big surprise was all the compliments from my co-workers about how good it looked.
It's a must have for the winter weather if you want to go out in style!
Verified Buyer Reviewed by Breannan from idaho on Friday, December 12, 2014Fits great, had good length in the back to cover your tush but the sleeves seem a bit long. Or maybe I have short arms. It is very water resistant the water beads right off of it. It regulates temperature well. I stay warm when its cold and cool when warm and it cuts wind well too. I bought the male version of this jacket for my boyfriend and we actually held water in it for 5 mins with no signs of absorption. He loves his jacket as well.
Reviewed by stagehand, cyclist from San Francisco on Wednesday, November 19, 2014I wore this jacket to work outdoors today. I can't speak to how it holds up under a sustained heavy downpour, but this jacket performed admirably in light showers with sporadic brief spells of heavy rain. I remained dry and warm.
My job is physical with lots of bending, climbing, stretching and reaching. The jacket doesn't ride up or constrict any of my movements.
I love the long angled sleeve cuffs. They keep the tops of my hands covered without interfering with my grip on the handlebars of my bike. There's a bit of extra length in back as well so I'm covered even when riding.
It seems well-constructed and durable. It's a medium weight, enough to block wind and add the right amount of insulation for my cold morning and night-time bicycle commutes.
The fuzzy pocket lining is glorious.
I'm 5'4 and my measurements are 35", 29", 38". The Medium fits great and looks flattering even with room for a warm layer underneath.
A coworker remarked, "You have such cute rain gear!"

Unanswered: report with subreports in print different from screen
i have a report which works fine on the screen but not in printing.
group13 (keep together with first detail section; does this have an effect if only has subgroup?)
group14 (keep together complete group)
subreport11 next to subreport12 next to subreport 13
some records show only header of group13 on new page, then first detail record of group14 on next page and then an new blank page, although everything would fit in one page
tried a lot combinations
1.) different problem, change background-color to non-white color, then problem gone, then changed back to white background.color: problem gone
=> makes analyzing difficult
2.) one setting worked in printing the first 10 pages but not all of the pages, although no page from to or something would change the content size
i'm not sure if keep together works fine in subreports because we also had problems with page breaks
some setting works with non-white background-color settings but not with background-color white.
i think we don't have margin problems during printing, because with non-white-background-colors it works in some settings
any help welcome

"some records show only header of group13 on new page, then first detail record of group14 on next page and then an new blank page, although everything would fit in one page"
This sounds like a grouping properties and where the fields are positioned in the correct groups on the report as well as possibly a Force new page after section property of that section problem.
Without seeing your problem, I might recommend starting with a frest report and supreport. Then start tweaking it to fit your needs. Pay attention to where you put the fields for what groupings and the properties (ie. Force New Page (before/after section), New Row or Col, Keep together), and the group properties (ie. Keep together.)
I'm not sure if this would really have anything to do with the color background though and why that plays a factor.
Keep in mind that different printers and printer drivers and the report saved with those printer drivers as the default for that report can affect how it looks from computer to computer so you can't really compare what it looks like for one printer compared to another printer with the report saved with the first printer's settings.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — The Department of Human Services is responding to a federal study that indicates Oregon's child welfare system is failing to keep children in state care safe and healthy.
The Child and Family Services Review shows DHS failed in all 14 categories related to child welfare.
Eight years ago, Oregon failed 11 out of 13 categories.
The news comes on the heels of Director Clyde Saiki's admission in January that he can't guarantee all children in the foster system are safe.
"I cannot guarantee that every single child is safe," he said. "It keeps me up at night."
The statewide assessment reveals 542 children were abused between 2013-2015. Nearly 10% of them reportedly experienced repeated maltreatment.
It also shows foster kids in Oregon are moved at a higher rate than in other states, at 6.31 moves per 1,000 days. That's nearly 50% higher than the national standard.
Controversy surrounding Portland foster care provider Give Us This Day previously brought light to some of DHS' mishaps. Complaints included allegations that children were denied food, people were assaulted and even raped.
The review indicates caseworkers with DHS take too long to check on allegations of abuse and neglect. It found just over half of child welfare investigations are completed in time. The most serious cases require check-ins within 24 hours, but the state met that goal less than 2/3 of the time.
In a statement obtained by KOIN 6 News, DHS Director Clyde Saiki said:
"The disappointing results were no surprise to us. It is clear that DHS was not appropriately working and tracking the program improvement plan that came out of the 2008 CFSR. That plan focused on improving the timeliness of CPS response, preventing the recurrence of maltreatment in family care and residential settings and comprehensive assessments and training."

The hits keep coming from the good folks down on Maryland Avenue. Today, the U.S. Department of Education officially released its Investing in Innovation, or i3, grant RFP. For all of those districts looking to get a piece of nearly $650 million in i3 dollars, the clock starts … NOW. Full details on the grant process can be found here.
Community Investment in Education
For years now, those in the education community have noted that education R&D just doesn't get the love that R&D in other industries — particularly healthcare — receive. Yes, we throw a few pennies (in the global sense) at the issue through the Institute of Education Sciences and a few private sector interests, but investment in true education R&D is a pittance. It should come as no surprise, though, as attention to real, measurable, scientific education research is a relatively new issue (and we still haven't figured out how to adequately focus on the D side of education R&D).
Reading First, Last, and Forever
Sometimes, it is just tiring being Eduflack, particularly when it comes to the area of reading instruction. Time and again, I've pledged that I've written my last post on Reading First. Between the IES study and Congress' dismissal, RF has been written off for dead more times than a cat on her ninth life. It seems the final nail in the coffin has been hammered time and again over the last year or two.
A Farewell to Niffle?
This morning, the Obama Administration released its plans for the FY2010 budget. Most in the education community have been taken by some of the big items found on the education side of the ledger. Cuts to Title I. Significant investments in early childhood education. Reductions in education technology. But it was a $6 million line item that caught the eye of Eduflack.
The Data Is Always Bigger in Texas
At the start of the year, Eduflack made a couple of promises. I would seek to throw the spotlight on positive stories that were not getting the attention they deserved. I would look to education policy stories outside of Washington, DC. And I would continue to my Don Quixote-like obsession with continuing to push the notion that evidence-based reading instruction works, and that it can be proven in state after state.
Trust Us, We're With DCPS
Data can be a dangerous weapon. In public education, we use it to validate ideas, attack initiatives we are unsure of, and guide spending and policy decisions. Over the last decade, we've seen a massive transformation on data and research — what counts and what doesn't, what's good and what's bad, what's evidence-based and what's purely squishy. Through it all, though, we clearly know that data is an important component to an effective argument.
What's Next for Federal Reading?
For decades now, the federal government has made teaching children to read a national priority. Reading First is just the latest iteration of this commitment. The Reading Excellence Act came before it, with other federal efforts before REA. That's why Eduflack is always surprised when he hears from reading advocates who are gravely concerned that federal investment in reading instruction will grind to a halt this year when RF ends.
�A programmatic study, conducted by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Planning, Evaluation, and Policy Development (OPEPD) took this contamination issue into account, and its fall 2008 evaluation report identified real success in our federal reading initiative.

Pope encourages all Catholics to go on retreat
Pope John Paul II recommended all Catholics go on a spiritual retreat, when he spoke to pilgrims in St Peter's Square on Sunday. He said: "The most generous choices are the result of profound and prolonged union with God in prayerful silence." Recently returned from his own week-long retreat, the Pope told the crowds, life becomes radically different for the person who has found Christ. "In carrying the cross every day with faith full of love, we also experience, together with the weight and hardness, the force of renewal and consolation .... With Jesus, we receive this interior light especially in prayer." Reflecting on the Gospel of the day, which described the Transfiguration, he said: "On Tabor we understand better that the life of the cross and of glory are inseparable." He called Tabor the "mountain of silence and contemplation." The Pope encouraged Catholics to go on retreat, " in ways adapted to the different vocations and conditions of life." He said: "It is important, especially during Lent, that Christian communities become authentic schools of prayer, where we allow ourselves to be conquered by the mystery of God's light and love."

That's the sign they paraded around the stadium before the Super Clasico - River Plate versus Boca Juniors. Rated as one of the greatest derbies in the world, the fans have a history of getting out of control. Which would explain the battalion of riot police, firemen, and leaf blowers.
I first heard about the big game last week while in Uruguay. When I arrived in Buenos Aires, the hostel had tickets (via the tourist bureau) for $AR180 (about $US60), which was a little pricey. After some consideration, I decided to head to the stadium and try my luck buying a ticket off the street. I took the the Subte (subway), and it was easy to follow the crowd making their way to the stadium. Getting closer, I could begin to hear the roar of the crowd (and this was still an hour a way from kickoff). As the stadium came into view, the streets became a maze, as the police were blocking off most of the routes. Eventually, I found my way into the shadow of the stadium and eye the scalper´s row. The first guy I make contact with has a ticket for $AR50. Weary about a fake ticket (they forge currency like crazy here), I was a little hesitent at first, but soon decided to buy it - bargaining and shopping around - or the failure to do so - has always been one of my downfalls (anyone interested in a Mao watch?). Not even sure where my seat was, I headed into the den.
Entering the stadium, I was faced with nearly full stands - and this is still almost one hour before the game. On the field are the youth teams playing. The stands are filled with River red - banners and signs lining the railings, and red bedecked fans all over. In the left endzone (okay, I'm not sure what it's called in football parlance - goalzones??) are most fervent River fans, with huge banners, flags, and the ceaseless songs and chants. To the right, in the upper deck endzone, covered in blue, are the Boca fans, literally caged in. They are surrounded by a 15 foot high fence, topped by barbed wire and ringer by police. On either side they've kept the seats completely empty, like a lion's cage at the zoo. These are the cheap seats, kind of like the bleacher's, where the most ardent fans (and most ardent hooligans) sit.
As the game approached kick off, the fans started getting louder and louder. When they began announcing the teams, streams of toilet paper and an onslaught of confetti came raining down out of the sky (bring on the army of leaf blowers). River unfurled a gigantic banner across the upper deck - it most have been about 100 by 150 feet. A few firecrackers popped off, but I didn't see any fires or very many flares. The fans got louder and louder, with all the River fans around me chanting at the Boca fans. The Boca fans - more renowned for their violence, where definitely the more fervent, nearly holding their own vocally while being out numbered probably 10 to 1. The game itself (almost a side show to the activities in the stands) was back and forth, with not very many good shots on goal the first half.
At half time, they had a demonstration of blind soccer. Which, would tend to require some peace and quiet. Which they got, from everyone but the Boca fans. They kept up with the pep band, the singing, and chanting all throughout. I don't think the upper crust River fans appreciated that, and I don't think the working class Boca fans cared. If there was going to be violence today, this could be the tipping point. But we escapted unscathed.
The second half saw a little more pressing from both sides, but neither squad was able to push the ball into the net. The last 5-10 minutes saw River getting quite lazy, and they were probably lucky to escape with the point against the division leading Boca team. At the end of the game, All the River fans had to stay in stands until the Boca fans cleared out of the stadium and got a head start out of the neighborhood (I'm not sure if this was for the protection of the Boca fans or the River fans). This took about 20 minutes as the Boca fans kept up their cheers and songs and had to be goaded out of the stadium by the police.
I think I'm beginning to become to addicted to football games. I've now seen a club game in Uzbekistan, a Uruguay-Argentina World Cup qualifying game in Montevideo, and River-Boca. I'm almost ready to start planning trips around football games - so when's the next Celtic-Rangers game anyways?

No mas violencia
That's the sign they paraded around the stadium before the Super Clasico - River Plate versus Boca Juniors. Rated as one of the greatest derbies in the world, the fans have a history of getting out of control. Which would explain the battalion of riot police, firemen, and leaf blowers.
