My Health Care Regime is Renewed
If something doesn't feel right about a professional's treatment or work with you, leave and look elsewhere. Trust your instincts. You know best about your body. After losing my amazing chiropractor who left her practice on a leave of absence, I spent weeks trying out several other chiropractors and getting adjustments that not only hurt but caused muscle spasms and neck pain. I knew what worked for me after the healing results of my first chiropractor but the others I tried thought they knew better than me and my experience of what worked for my body. On the verge of giving up, I found Dr. Straus and found hope again. She listens. Her assessment is more thorough than any I've ever received. I respect her self-confidence and humility and her obvious enthusiasm for her work. My faith in the chiropractic method for healing as part of my health care regime is renewed. So grateful!

Went Above and Beyond
Dr Cathy went above and beyond during my first assessment and even helped my son Jake. Thank you so much Dr Cathy for everything today. Looking forward to next week.

Exceptional Experience
My first experience with Lydia and Dr. Straus was fantastic. Welcomed with a friendly face. Dr. Straus listened to everything I said and was amazing at explaining everything and amazing with the baby. Barely a peep from baby Peyton :) my overall experience was exceptional. I look forward to coming back.

Welcome Baby Matthew
Dr. Straus kept me feeling good though my pregnancies. However, when I was told that my third baby was transverse at 30 weeks I was looking for a natural solution. Dr. Straus informed me that she has special training in baby positioning and prenatal care. She used the Webster technique and gave me exercises to align the pelvis and allow baby to turn into an ideal position. After every appointment the baby would move a lot into different positions. After 2 weeks baby was head down again! I went on to have an epidural free vaginal birth. I am so thankful.
Testimonial from V & R
V and R began seeing Dr. Cathy in 2008. They were feeling work related back pain and general fatigue. They continue to see Dr. Cathy as they enjoy that freshly adjusted, loose, pain free feeling as well as less pain and fatigue between appointments. They have been bringing their children in for wellness care since they were newborns. R feels that he is able to enjoy his spare time with his family since he can work all day and still feel pretty good when he gets home. V finds picking the boys up and nursing her baby more comfortable because of her regular adjustments. Their first son was very colicky and had problems with torticollis, latching for breastfeeding as well the bones in his skull were misaligned following his traumatic birth. V says, started taking him to see Dr. Cathy in the height of the colic and while it took time to get him in the clear, I was always impressed with how calm and cooperative he was during his adjustment. He just seemed to know it was good for him!
Why do I get Adjusted?
I used to have chronic ear infections and was on antibiotics 3 times in 3 months when my daycare provider suggested I visit Dr. Cathy. I haven't had an ear infection or had to be on antibiotics since! My parents feel that Dr. Cathy is engaged in my care. They say it is obvious she cares and we love that she takes her time with him. My chiropractic experience has made me a happy, healthy boy which makes my parents happy too.
Linda T.
In 1994 I was walking across a street and was hit by a car. I pole vaulted across the hood of the car and had damage to my brain, neck and back. I was never a big fan of chiropractors as I did not like to be jumped on or have my neck cracked. My family doctor suggested that I try a chiropractor but I was hesitant. One of my neighbours had referred me to Dr. Straus and told me she was very good.
What I liked most about Dr. Straus was before she even did a treatment she sent me for an x-ray to see exactly what was going on in my back. I was very impressed with this. She did an analysis on a special machine that could determine where I needed the most help. I like the fact that we sit down on a regular basis to see what progress I have been making with my treatments. No one has ever done this for me.
I would never consider changing doctors as Dr. Straus and Kathleen are so wonderful. From the minute you walk in they make you feel comfortable. Not only do I get a treatment for my neck and my back, she is concerned about my well-being. I had gone through a tough time when my husband passed away and I truly believe that the chiropractic treatments helped in my coping. In addition to my adjustments, she also adjusts my knee that has arthritis in it. I have noticed a big difference in the agility and do not have the same pain as before. I would highly recommend chiropractic treatment as it has changed my life.

Why our Family gets Adjustments
I was diagnosed with scoliosis as a teen and have been seeing Dr. Cathy ever since. My husband's major complaints were headaches and heartburn ~ after educating him on the possible benefits (and some nagging) he began to see Dr. Cathy as well. Naturally, when our children were born they began seeing Dr. Cathy for wellness care.
Dr. Cathy first saw our oldest daughter on the way home from the hospital. She has had the colds that come with being school age but has only had two ear infections that required a visit to our medical doctor. Our younger daughter's first adjustment was at 30 hours old and has never needed any medications for colds or infections.
Dr. Cathy has also helped our family with enuresis ~ bed wetting, headaches, back discomfort, thumbs, knees, ankles, sinuses along with other minor ailments over the years. I encourage everyone to have a Wellness Chiropractor as part of their health care team as Dr. Cathy has been an invaluable asset to ours!
With thanks,
Kathleen R.
Nursing & Chiropractic Care
I brought my son in to see Dr. Straus when he was 7 months old because we were having lots of issues with breastfeeding. He had difficulty latching on and staying latched on and he seemed uncomfortable during feedings.
After our first visit I notice an improvement immediately. When we got home and nursed, he stayed latched on for 10 minutes which was unheard of for us during the day time. He finished nursing and switched sides, which was also completely unusual! I stopped needing to pump after feeds.
We are still nursing after 14 months and very happy to be nursing since it's a great way to reconnect at the end of the work day and we both get lots of sleep through the night because of nursing.
Thank you,

The Mile End is Montreal's hot neighbourhood. Heavily associated with its artists, particularly the band Arcade Fire, this section of Plateau Mont-Royal — adjacent what is colloquially known as the Plateau — has been touted worldwide as a hotbed of creativity. Despite all the attention, the neighbourhood still feels refreshingly off the beaten track.
The area charms with its low-density, low-rise buildings, many featuring Montreal's signature wrought-iron spiral staircases. Streets are tree lined and peaceful. Along the main drags, traditional Greek, Jewish and Italian merchants mingle with freshly opened shops, restaurants and bars patronized by newcomers. Swing a cat and you'll smack any number of artists and homosexuals.
Some people bemoan the gentrification of yet another Montreal neighbourhood, but at this stage of the game, the mix works. Old and new, anglo and franco, traditional and trendy — the current mix of inhabitants seem to have really hit it off, creating in Mile End a lovely and unique ambiance.
The incoming denizens have an undeniable hipster aesthetic, but don't let that put you off. Montreal's hipsters utterly lack the snobbery and aloofness that pretty much defines hipsterism in North America's bigger cities. Beneath the skinny jeans and behind the pornstaches, you'll find a crowd that's welcoming, charming and playful. If Williamsburg and Queen West are laughing at you, Mile End is laughing with you. So join in and have fun!
Start your day at Le Pick Up (7032 Rue Waverly). The traditional dépanneur, as the Québécois call their convenience stores, has been transformed into a quirky restaurant. The modest two-storey corner brick building has a picnic table out front and a patio out back. Inside, you'll still find milk and toilet paper for sale, but you really need to pull up a stool at the original lunch counter. Enjoy a hearty breakfast from the griddle and excellent coffee prepared by the cute staff. The menu is sophisticated without being expensive, and you can stock up on gum, snacks and beer before you leave.
If you prefer to breakfast chez vous, pop into one of Montreal's famous bagelries. St-Viateur (263 Rue St-Viateur Ouest) and Fairmount Bagel (74 Ave Fairmount Ouest) are both in the neighbourhood, baking the distinctive Montreal-style sweet and chewy breads.
A walk around the neighbourhood takes you to Drawn and Quarterly (211 Rue Bernard Ouest), the famous arts and literary comics publisher. Bucking a trend, the publishing house has recently opened a bricks-and-mortar shop in Mile End.
Drawn and Quarterly publishes comic books, sketchbooks and graphic novels, most notably by the likes of Julie Doucet, Seth, Chester Brown and Joe Matt. You'll also find works by gay and lesbian favourites such as Maurice Vellekoop and Debbie Drechsler.
If you're a CanLit fan, you might want to stroll by Wilensky's Light Lunch (34 Ave Fairmount Ouest), famously featured in Mordecai Richler's The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz. You may recognize the diner if you saw the film adaptation of the novel, starring Richard Dreyfuss. If you're in the market for some new duds, Local 23 (23 Rue Bernard Ouest) is a vintage store with well-chosen clothing and trinkets.
When it's time for your afternoon coffee break, head to one of the Italian cafés, Club Social (180 Rue St-Viateur Ouest) or Café Olimpico (124 Rue St-Viateur Ouest). Some hardcore locals simply move back and forth from one to the other. These are no-nonsense, old-school espresso bars with large, languid patios that offer you licence to linger — the perfect place to rest your pegs under a shady tree.
By cocktail time, make your way to La Buvette Chez Simone (4869 Ave du Parc) and think about staying for dinner. The wine bar stocks an impressive list of private imports and offers a light menu of tapas, charcuterie and cheese. The bar is unpretentious and laid-back, buzzing with the relaxed energy of its arty crowd.
After dinner, head to the Royal Phoenix (5788 Blvd St-Laurent), the anchor of the neighbourhood's queer scene. The bar and restaurant has a different theme each night, so it's an ever-changing experience with a diverse crowd. There are often four or five DJs working simultaneously to keep the energy up somewhere near the ceiling. Flirty bartenders exude warmth and smoulder with sensuality. Prepare to drink and dance till the wee hours.
Le Nouveau Palais (281 Rue Bernard Ouest) is an ideal spot to wind down the night. It's an old-school diner with fun, affordable and well-executed food. A full dinner menu is served until midnight, and until 3am a perfect post-drinking menu features perogies, poutine and burgers, all for less than $5.
By now, it's late and time for bed. This is Montreal, so chances are you're stumbling home with a new chum.
This is the second in a three-part series on Montreal. Last month, we looked at the city's new nightlife scene; read it at xtra.ca. Next month, we'll explore Montreal restaurants.

Dengurin (デングリン) is an enemy that appears in Super Bomberman.
Dengurin moves at a speed of 2, passing through Soft Blocks and changing directions at intersections. It often reverses directions without colliding with anything. It will harm players on collision.
- The name "Dengurin" comes from the Japanese word "dengurigaeru", which refers to the act of performing a somersault. In the game, Dengurin rolls around in a somersault fashion.

Don Bendell
A few months ago on TV, Senator John Kerry, you angrily asked a detractor, "Are you questioning my patriotism?" He responded that he was not, but I sure am. Rather than deciding which power tie you should wear each day, I feel you should be in an orange jumpsuit in a federal penitentiary for treason. You betrayed all my fellow Vietnam veterans, our POW's, our loyal Montagnard allies (at the cost of many of their lives), and you betrayed me. Your entire political career was launched when you spoke before Congress in 1971, using eloquent testimony written by Bobby Kennedy's head speechwriter, but based on outright lies from 7 men from the Detroit Winter Soldier Rally, who all claimed to be Vietnam veterans that committed atrocities such as those you described. As you well know, only 2 of those men were even in the military, and they were never in combat, and the other 5 all claimed to be Navy SEALS in the Top Secret Phoenix Program, but they were never even in the military. It did not matter to you. In fact, Congress investigated and discovered that most of the so-called highly-decorated veterans at the Detroit Rally were also not even in the military. You did not care. You were on your way towards the Presidency then, with no regards to who got hurt along the way, including all of us Vietnam veterans. John Kerry, like a chameleon, you change your appearance to fit the environment you are in at the time. You do only what is politically-expedient for you, no matter who gets hurt. You always have. You always will.
Now, 250 sailors who served with you in Vietnam, and who know what you are really like under the stresses of combat, have condemned you [i] and declared you "unfit to be commander in chief of our armed forces." Your boss in Vietnam and his boss are included in this list, and these men even started their own website http://www.swiftvets.com/, but the liberal media flatly refuses to expose this to the American public. You publicly said that you witnessed atrocities, so you literally called these honorable, brave men, who served alongside you, "war criminals." And you call yourself a man of honor?
The doctor who treated you for your first wound, for which you received your first Purple Heart, Dr. Louis Letson [ii], now a retired practitioner in Alabama, swore: "I simply removed the piece of metal by lifting it out of the skin with forceps. I doubt that it penetrated more than 3 or 4 mm. It did not require probing to find it, did not require any anesthesia to remove it, and did not require any sutures to close the wound. The wound was covered with a band-aid."
It has been reported that you got that wound by firing an M-79 at rocks on shore nearby, after a boat-mate warned you not to, and a tiny sliver ricocheted and nicked you. 3 or 4mm's? "lifting it out of the skin?" John Kerry, in fact, all three of your Purple Hearts in Vietnam were for wounds that only required a band-aid. Little wonder you do not wish those records released so those you have swayed can see the real you. And you call yourself a "man of honor."
You were awarded the Silver Star for beaching your craft, chasing a wounded Viet Cong and dispatching him with a head-shot, but John Kerry, he had been already wounded by your boat-gunner employing twin .50's. In other words, you killed a man who had been wounded from less than a hundred yards away, by a pair of Browning M2 .50 caliber machine guns, which shoot 1,100 rounds per minute of six-inch by half-inch cartridges at a muzzle velocity of 2,930 feet per second, and a range of 4.22 "miles." Do you have a clue what happens to a man who has been shot in the hand, foot, leg, arm, or anywhere by such a round, let alone torso or head? According to the USAF, an earlier version of the same machine gun in WWII fired on Japanese Zeros from B25 Mitchell Bombers, would cause the "enemy plane to explode." I shot a 50-pound bag of rice hanging under a bamboo tripod from the same approximate distance with one round, center mass, and the whole bag exploded everywhere from the impact. You ran down a man wounded by such a weapon and "dispatched him." No wonder you have publicly-stated that you committed war crimes. And you call yourself a man of honor.
Regarding your television ad showing you in Vietnam: Every guy I ever knew in Vietnam who was filmed was shot with a usually shaky hand-held 8mm camera and always looked at and joked for the camera, except for you, John Kerry, the patrolling actor, who cannot even carry an M-16 correctly, and you claim "to be a man of honor."
The real "JFK," John F. Kennedy, FDR, Harry Truman, LBJ, Richard Nixon, George H. W. Bush, Dwight Eisenhower, no other President, except Abraham Lincoln; during a time of war, has been so publicly chastised, slandered, and denigrated like you and your supporters have been doing to George W. Bush during this dangerous and critical time in US history. Have you tried to quash their attacks and cared about our country's security? Or did you encourage your attack machine to play right into the enemy's hands and add fuel to their propaganda machine, and yours? And you claim to be a man of honor.
You are rated as the "most" liberal Senator in the US Senate, and your running mate as the 4th most liberal Senator, but you spin it for the American public to seem like you are "middle of the road." You are rated as the wealthiest Senator in US history and you and your supporters have spun it like George W. Bush is the spoiled rich kid. And you claim to be a man of honor.
I receive tens of thousands of e-mails by veterans and active military serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, almost totally supportive of President Bush, for many reasons. For example, many have heard that George W. Bush and his wife privately and quietly go to military hospitals and visit wounded soldiers all the time and visit with families of KIA's, without cameras around, because they truly care. The only time you have ever visited them has been when there was a "photo op," because you have never been into "we," only "me." And you claim to be a man of honor.
If President, you would have our brave young men and women risking their lives, not for the red, white, and blue, but for the powder blue of the United Nations, and would put their lives and safety under the command of foreign officers who are trained by people we have trained, with the hopes that particular commander is not one of the corrupt ones in the UN, a crap-shoot at best.
When you chaired the Senate Select Committee on MIA/POW Affairs and closed the books on it in 1992, [iii] at the same time that your first cousin, C. Stewart Forbes, was making a one billion dollar deep sea port deal with Hanoi and was also being awarded the exclusive real estate development rights for the entire country of Vietnam, [iv] you shredded documents, which absolutely proved the existence of living American POW's, ignored 42,00 pieces of evidence, and closed the books, saying there was no significant evidence proving any Americans still lived. And you call yourself a man of honor.
Why does what happened three decades ago pertain to today? You betrayed many in our country then, and if elected President, you will do it again. A leopard cannot change its spots, but a chameleon changes colors whenever it's advantageous.
I ran into an orphaned, unsighted chameleon in the jungle, and he asked me what type of animal he was.
I said, "You have beady eyes, you're slimy, very low, you change colors to blend into your environment, whenever you move you look crooked, and it doesn't look to me like you have any testicles."
The chameleon responded, "Heaven help me. I must be John F. Kerry."
John Forbes Kerry, I do not hate you. My words are direct and strong, because I simply do not like you, respect you, or trust you, and do not want our country put in harm's way by your Presidency, because, unlike you, I am a man of honor. You are not. Never will be. You are simply a chameleon. We are at war, and you have already proven the type of loyalty you display to American's fighting men and women during war.

We need to get some health inspectors into MLB, because the league just cannot stop serving up all this fake beef. More often than usual this season, it seems like teams are looking for the smallest of faux pas just to have an excuse to rush onto the field and perform some masculinity.
Tonight, the tofu came from the Nationals and Pirates, when Adam Eaton and Francisco Cervelli pulled off almost a shot-for-shot remake of a Joey Votto and Eric Kratz discussion from last month. Inexplicably, Eaton and Cervelli's brief jaw session over the strike zone required the entirety of both teams' dugouts and bullpens to run to the rescue.
Once again, this is all sizzle and no steak.

BIRMINGHAM, MICH. — Joel Embiid gets a day of rest.
The 76ers center will not play in Friday night's game against the Detroit Pistons at Little Caesars Arena. This comes after the All-Star looked weary while having one of his worst shooting performances in Wednesday's 113-102 loss to the Toronto Raptors in Canada.
The MVP candidate made just 5 of 17 shots (29.4 percent) en route to finishing with 10 points, 12 rebounds, five assists, four turnovers, and two blocks. He also looked sluggish on the defensive end. The 7-foot-2, 270-pounder was a step slow, was moved off his spot, and had a hard time keeping Raptors reserve center Jonas Valanciunas in front of him.
But Embiid has really looked out of sorts lately on the offensive end. He has shot a combined 14 for 42 in the Sixers' last three games against the Raptors, Memphis Grizzlies (Sunday) and Washington Wizards (Nov. 30).
Embiid's 892 minutes played are the fourth most in the NBA behind guard New Orleans Pelicans point guard Jrue Holiday (946), Golden State Warriors small forward Kevin Durant (929) and Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson (892).
Karl-Anthony Towns of the Minnesota Timberwolves has the second-most minutes played by a center at 842.
The Sixers (17-9), however, have played more games that most NBA teams. So Embiid ranks tied for 25th in the league at 34.3 per game. The Grizzlies' Marc Gasol, who is tied for sixth, is the only center averaging more minutes (35.6).
It's not surprising that Embiid wanted to play Friday.
"If he could, he'd play 48 minutes," Sixers coach Brett Brown said. "And I feel that if there's any responsibility that we have as an organization is to preserve our player's health. It was clear to us and Joel that he was fatigued over the past few games, especially."
Brown added that his responsibility is deciding how to get his players to April, when the postseason begins.
"How do you deliver them in a healthy, spirited fashion when it matters the most?" he said. "So the decision to sit Joel tonight is mine. It's always delivered with the purpose to try to help him."
Brown said Embiid is not injured, and is with the team here in Michigan.
The coach said he hasn't decided whether to start Amir Johnson or Mike Muscala at the Pistons (13-9) Friday. Johnson received a Did Not Play, Coaches Decision on Wednesday. However, Muscala is one of the team's best contributors in a reserve role. The Sixers might decide to keep him there.
The Sixers will miss Embiid's presence against fourth-place Detroit. The third-place Sixers are two games ahead of the Pistons in the standings. The teams will play again on Monday in Philadelphia before the Sixers face the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday and the Indiana Pacers on Friday during their three-game homestand.
Friday's game is "at Detroit. They are one of the East's better teams," Brown said. "You are looking forward to seeing us play against that type of competition. But when you step back and look at with your big boy's hat on and sort of from a lens of responsibility, it's not even close.
He needs rest. That's the bottom line.
With Embiid's absence, folks in Detroit won't get to see one of the league's biggest player rivalries between Embiid and Pistons two-time All-Star center Andre Drummond.
Embiid dominated Drummond in a 109-99 victory at the Wells Fargo Center on Nov. 2. Embiid had 39 points and a game-high 17 rebounds and did most of his damage in the first half, scoring 32 points and hitting 15 of 17 foul shots.
It's not surprising that Embiid came out fired up against Drummond. The two have a history of going back and forth with each other. So much so that the Sixers' standout said, "I feel like I own a lot of real estate in his head" after frustrating Drummond in the Pistons' 133-132 overtime victory Oct. 23 in Detroit
"I knew that after the trash talk I had last game, I knew that he was going to be excited," Embiid said back on Nov. 2. "That's why I get all those guys that guard me, because I know they are going into a matchup so excited. I'm going to take advantage of that."
After that game, Embiid posted on his Instagram page and on Twitter: "I own a lot of real estate in @andredrummondd head and I'm on my way to build more #Bum #TheProcess"

He didn't stop there. Embiid also posted on Instragram a video of Drummond dancing with the caption "mood."

The extension of permitted development rights to allow homeowners to extend their properties without a full planning application – as well as high street conversions to offices and homes – has come into permanent effect.
The regulations, which were laid before Parliament earlier this month, do not include the right to allow upward extensions.
Under the rules, homeowners can put a single-storey rear extension on their property of up to six metres for terraced or semi-detached homes – or eight metres for detached homes.
You should however note, that if you do wish to extend this far, you will still need to apply for a neighbour consultation and consideration to neighbours will still apply.

SOUTH PADRE ISLAND — Fans of banda music will soon be able to listen and dance along to the sounds of several musicians while having a close view of the ocean.
During a press conference held Friday afternoon, Cameron County officials, along with event organizers and sponsors, announced there will be a SPI Banda Fest at the Cameron County Amphitheater and Event Center.
The festival will have performances on Friday, April 10, by Banda El Recodo and Banda Los Recoditos.
Gerardo Ortiz will perform at the amphitheater the following day.
"These are major bands," Cameron County Commissioner Sofia C. Benavides said. "I'm thankful that they have chosen to come and take advantage of our venue and be able to offer this entertainment to all of the Valley."
The festival will be held during Semana Santa, or Holy Week.
According to County Venues Director of Marketing and Management Raul N. Garcia, Semana Santa is a busy time of the year for the Island because a lot of people travel from areas such as Mexico to celebrate the holiday.
"I think it's going to be an excellent two-day show," Garcia said. "We've been having very good feedback on it."
Ticket prices range from $50 to $250 and can be purchased online at https://tinyurl.com/vz5rj55.
"It's a brand new facility and it has really good views no matter where you sit," Garcia said. "Every seat is a good seat."
According to Garcia, SPI Banda Fest is going to be the third concert held at the amphitheater since its opening in October of 2019.
"It's been very successful," Garcia said. "We have projected right now about eight concerts that are already in the pipeline, confirmed that will be announced at a later date, but it's going to be a busy year."
According to Benavides, the Cameron County Commissioners Court invested about $30 million in Isla Blanca Park's recent improvements and projects such as its new pavilions, amphitheater, events center, beachfront boardwalk and parking areas.
"We did this because we wanted to make sure that we improved this area for more tourists to come in and see, but along with that comes welcoming all types of entertainment venues that come here," she said.
Benavides said this is an exciting time for Cameron County.
"We had a tax venue that we passed and with that money we've been able to invest money in here. We issued bonds," Benavides said. "So this is great. I think it's a great investment and we will be working to make it even better as time goes on."

Bill Johnson Returns to the Slopes
Timberline Lodge, Ore. (AP by Landon Hall)--Bill Johnson returned to the slopes Friday, skiing down Mount Hood just eight months after a frightening crash left the 1984 Olympic downhill champion in a coma with a brain injury.
``It felt great. I turned a lot,'' Johnson said after a warmup run.
He was especially pleased that he stayed upright on his skis.
``I didn't take a digger, and I'm not about to,'' he said.
Johnson did take a spill at slow speed during a longer run later in the day, but he got right back up, said coach and friend John Creel, who went with him.
``I tried to help him up, but he would have none of it,'' Creel said Friday night. ``He wanted to help himself up.''
Johnson has made quite a recovery since that day in March when _ at age 41, 11 years removed from competition _ Johnson fell face-first after his legs separated and he tumbled into two restraining nets during a race ahead of the U.S. Alpine Championships.
Johnson was unconscious when ski patrol medics and a race doctor arrived to treat him at Big Mountain Resort in Whitefish, Mont. He was in a coma for three weeks.
Johnson sustained severe head trauma, and needed a breathing tube on the mountain and a tracheotomy at the hospital. He bit his tongue during the crash, and it partially blocked his airway and bled into his left lung.
After recuperating in California, at the Centre for Neuro Skills, Johnson went to Oregon so his family could care for him. He has been at his mother's house in Gresham, not far from Mount Hood.
Creel, Johnson's coach before the crash, is now helping him with physical conditioning. He works with Johnson about once a week, and was urging him along at the mountain on Friday.
``That's amazing,'' Creel said after watching Johnson take a couple of quick tight turns on a warmup slope outside Timberline Lodge and snowplow to the bottom.
As heavy snow fell, Johnson was thrilled to be back on skis.
``The snow looks great,'' he said. ``It's nice out here. It's so sweet.''
Creel said his workout sessions with Johnson were ``getting too mundane'' for the Olympic champion.
``So we had to get him out here and give him a reason to keep doing stuff that's not fun,'' Creel said.
Creel said Johnson wanted to do a couple of more runs after lunch, but Creel told him, ``We're going to quit while we're ahead.''
``While we were on the chair I said, 'I'm proud of you,''' Creel said. ``He's worked so hard.''
Johnson was 23 at the Sarajevo Olympics, when he brashly predicted victory _ then went out and won the first downhill gold medal by an American. He wound up winning three World Cup races in 1984, but he failed to qualify for the 1988 Olympics in Calgary, and was out of the public eye before his comeback try this year.
After showing up at Timberline Lodge on Friday, Johnson and Creel waxed their skis.
``We don't want to go real fast,'' Creel told Johnson. ``It's slippery out there.''
Johnson then took off down the warmup slope _ gingerly, but looking confident.

I have everything printed and ordered a box of 1/2" binders from Staples, but I cannot for the life of me get the spine art all the way in without damaging it aka folding/creasing it up. I have it printed on thick paper too. Maybe my binders suck or maybe I just don't have the steady, patient hand to do this. Any suggestions are much appreciated! Mad Mike - amazing job on these!!!!I had a hard time with them as well, the half inch size makes the plastic very tight. My ultimate solution was to use the long flat metal rod from a hanging file folder (anything similar should work as well), first to stretch the pocket a bit, and then to help push the spines in. Practice on some scrap paper (I ripped and wrinkled a few at first). Go slow and steady and it should get there.

There are many ways to properly take care of your beard and then there are wrong ways to take care of your beard. We will try to list a few key techniques that will help grow your beard like a boss. I know with our products you will be able to grow and maintain an awesome beard without a doubt. Always remember, if you're going to grow a beard, then you'll want to keep those whiskers as soft as possible. (Your significant other will appreciate it, too.)
To keep it healthy looking, condition it daily with a beard oil, which adds nutrients and will keep it soft feeling. Remember to always lightly brush your beard, this will help finely groom your beard and strengthen it overtime. Lastly, depending on the length or texture of your beard, find a beard balm that will condition your beard to help keep it inline. A large issue that almost every bearded brother experiences is itchiness. The cure? A beard oil or balm that uses calming ingredients like bergamot, cedarwood & pachouli. Having skin nourishing ingredients like Agran, Jojoba. Vitamin E, & Grapeseed oil will also assist in prevention.
Beard oil/balm benefits:
It will keep it healthy, moisturized, and after using for an extended period of time it will significantly make it softer. (Your skin beneath will never be healthier and enriched by the oils, which is often difficult to keep moisturized as your beard besomes more and more impenetrable.)
It will keep your beard smelling intoxicating, not only for you but for those around you.
Best of all, it will keep it looking great, well put together, and under control, which is what every beardsman aims for. You want to look awesome, right? Well, beard oil and balm tame your mane by preventing that scragginess and un-shapeliness look that nobody wants. You grow it and let us take care of the rest!

About San Francisco

Or, if you want to explore San Francisco's darker side, pre-book a tour of the infamous Alcatraz island and penitentiary, where gangland criminals like Al Capone paid serious time for their crimes a recently as 50 years ago.
Venture into the countryside around San Francisco and you won't be disappointed; there's wine country tours, visits to Yosemite national park and Muir Woods to explore as you get back to nature in the stunning Californian scenery.

A Moveable Feast
French wines and Kir Royales
Pricey and classically French
Mind-bogglingly precise
Start us off with an overview.Stepping into Café de Flore is like stepping into a time capsule, into an era when the Left Bank was a bohemian enclave for the likes of Pablo Picasso and Ernest Hemingway. The interior—red booths, mahogany, polished brass railings—has changed little since the Art Deco period, but anyone who is anyone knows that the best seats in the house are actually out on the sidewalk, where the people watching can't be beat and the city's café iconic culture is at its finest.
What's the crowd like?Sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with strangers at the sidewalk seating is part of the experience, as this institution is still a revolving door of Left Bank creatives and glitterati. Grab a table, bring a book, and spend the afternoon nibbling on croques mesdames and Kir Royales.
What should we be drinking?The wine and spirits list leans French.
And eating? What's good here?It doesn't get more iconically French than the menu here; go with the classics, like a simple quiche or duck confit.
How about the service—typically French, too?Although the staff is short on chit-chat, they weave through tables and balance impossibly full trays with ease and élan.
So why would you recommend this place, and when for?Although afternoons are best for perching on a table outside and enjoying the pulse of Boulevard Saint-Germain, there's also a vibrant after-dark scene. In other words, there's no wrong time to visit.
Got the skinny on this place? Let our editors know!

Last month, Chevrolet Philippines officially brought back the Camaro to the counrty to face off the Ford Mustang. However, it does not come with a V8 or V6 and instead has a turbocharged four-cylinder with 279 PS and 400 Nm of torque. With those kind of figures, it's main rival is the EcoBoost-powered 'Stang.
Across the Pacific however, Chevy has been busy giving the V8-powered Camaro SS a new look. No longer does it resemble its stablemates as it now comes with a slightly flashier front end. Say hello to the 2019 Camaro SS and its new mug.
While not immediately noticeable to the naked eye, Chevy actually incorporated some styling cues from the 'Shock' Camaro concept shown at last year's SEMA Show. Unlike the Camaro offered locally, the new Camaro SS offered stateside has a more aggressive look. It gets a thinner upper front grill, along with a repositioned 'SS' badge. Then there's the bigger lower front air intake, the new body-colored crossbar (previous model's was unpainted), and the wider corner air intakes which further add to the car's more macho looks.
"Customers spoke, and we listened. The overwhelmingly positive reaction to the Shock's stylized design helped prompt its transition from concept to production," said Steve Majoros, Director of Chevrolet passenger cars and crossover marketing.
Besides giving the SS a nip and tuck, Chevy also introduced a new V8 model dubbed 'LT1'. It gets the 455 PS, 6.2-liter V8 from the SS but is equipped with the styling elements and features of the 1LT trim package.
It can be specified with either a six-speed manual or a ten-speed automatic transmission, and comes with the following as standard: LT1 fender badges and black bow-tie emblems, SS-derived vented hood, 20-inch SS style alloy wheels, and an advanced touchscreen infotainment with Bose sound system.
With the Camaro getting some fresh upgrades in the US, hopefully this will allow Chevrolet Philippines to actually bring the V8-powered SS (or LT1) to the country. Because as much as the turbocharged 3LT RS looks and sounds good, there is nothing quite like a V8-powered American muscle.

Sep 19, 2018 - National Geographic Islander
This time of the year, the western part of the Galapagos is colder and chillier with changing conditions, but today is the exception to the rule. This morning was warm, and the ocean looked very calm. At 8 o'clock we were to disembark, and as we headed to the black beach of Urbina Bay we suddenly spotted a female humpback whale with its baby. It was great to have these cetaceans so close to us. These enormous creatures are seen from time to time, especially this time of the year, when they migrate from Alaska all the way down to South America to mate and have their babies. We were very lucky with this encounter.
After disembarking we walked around this incredible island. Isabela uplifted in 1954 when five kilometers of its coast rose several meters above sea level. Today the area is covered by vegetation, but you can see vestiges of it, such as sand dollars and sea worms attached to the rocks and big heads of white coral. Giant tortoises and the land iguanas are now the inhabitants of this place. We found a few of them along the trail. There were also different types of endemic vegetation, flowering mainly yellow and white colors. As another highlight, we spotted a very elusive bird that is nearly gone from the islands - the vermilion flycatcher. The Last time I saw one in this area was 18 years ago, so I was very happy with this great discovery! On our way back, the icing on the cake was a battle between two big male land iguanas. We sat on the trail and observed them while they fought.
We returned to the ship for lunch, and soon after headed to our next destination, Tagus Cove. This place has a lot of history and has been visited by the likes of pirates, sailors, and buccaneers. Each stopping along the way to make use of the giant tortoises as food for their long journeys. Charles Darwin also visited Tagus Cove. Now, we are ready to explore it! Some guests went to snorkel along the coast and swam with turtles and penguins. Many spotted numerous multicolor reef fish, rays, sharks and sea stars. Other guests preferred to kayak along the shoreline in search of sea birds, penguins, flightless cormorants and hawks. After our marine activities, we walked around Darwin Lake and took Zodiac rides. The landscape is covered in beautiful hues of gray. There is a big forest of palo santo trees. This time of the year they are dormant. During the rainy season, they bloom and become green with leaves.
Around 6 P.M. we returned to National Geographic Islander. The golden light was perfect for photography. The sun colored the sky with warm tones of red and orange. A great finale to a unique day in this inhospitable but surprising world.

"You're looking to answer one question: Are these people doers or grandstanders?" The Internet is a fickle place, especially when it comes to marketing. No matter how devoted your fan base, they will abandon you if you're not keeping pace with how people interact online. Today's thriving Facebook page could become tomorrow's virtual wasteland as more personal and efficient communication methods become popular. I'm a longtime member of an academy that shall remain nameless. At one time, it ran cutting-edge member engagement forums. But other social platforms now offer much better commenting and sharing capabilities, and I've grown accustomed to the ease and speed of these programs. The academy's system feels cumbersome by comparison. Frankly, it's tiring to use. I spend way less time using this platform now, which is a shame because I used to enjoy it so much. Without relevant engagement strategies, your early adopters will eventually abandon you for fresher, more user-friendly communities. And this is the crowd to watch, because if you're basing tech decisions on late adopters, you're already out of the game. Let's say you're running a marketing academy. Your students might want a Snapchat course today, but the ambitious ones will quickly move on to something else. If you don't pay attention to their changing demands, you're left delivering content to participants whose mentalities are hung up on trends from two years ago. When you're not listening to early adopters, you don't know what you don't know about your own business. Don't rely on the Luddites of the world to tell you what's up.
The Squeaky Wheel Doesn't Always Deserve the Grease
When identifying which platforms best suit your community, look beyond the squeaky wheels – you know, the ones who comment on every post and are lightning quick when it comes to offering unsolicited opinions. It's great that these people are engaged. But some might just like to hear themselves talk, and the chattiest members aren't always representative of the entire group. In fact, they're usually not. Dig deep to find fresh thinkers for your inner circle so you can get an accurate take on where your communications strategy needs to grow. Direct engagement enables you to cull valuable feedback from your social lurkers. These people consume your content and love what you're about, but don't typically engage in the forums. Whether this is due to shyness or busyness, you want to bring these folks into the conversation. Use the following tactics to connect with more of your followers:
1. Constantly redefine your audience personas.
Send out regular polls to find out what people are working on, what they value, where they are in their career progressions, and who they are more generally. If you spot someone who goes against the grain or is doing something totally unique, reach out to him or her immediately. I often find that people who get branded as "weird" end up being the thought leaders and truly innovative thinkers.
2. Engage the outliers.
Find out why these people do things the way they do, because their method might inform your next piece of content or your next big move. The most influential leaders do things differently – Steve Jobs and Richard Branson are who they are for a reason. "He's so successful because he followed the rulebook!" isn't something you hear often. Or ever.
3. Challenge your community lieutenants to share what they're doing and what gains they've made.
You're looking to answer one question: Are these people doers or grandstanders? Poll your members on when they launched their side projects, how many hours a week they devote to that hustle, and what successes they've achieved so far. Their answers should shape your next round of content strategy. Those who are keen to share their opinions at every opportunity but aren't actually creating something won't have much value to offer. The people who sit around saving articles to Pocket all day are not the people you want to build a business around. Seek out the community members who put your ideas into practice and who will promote your brand on their way up. The simple act of asking these questions says something about your culture. By reaching out - and listening - to those who benefit most from your content, you establish yourself as a leader who cares about real results. These ongoing conversations position you for long-term evolution and success.

The Napa Local Food Advisory Council (LFAC) nurtures a sustainable local food system in Napa County by operating a public forum to share information on community needs and advising the Napa County Board of Supervisors on critical issues such as food education and promoting the production, distribution, and access to sustainable food. The council is made up of local citizens and elected officials, who are appointed by the Board of Supervisors, and share an interest in promoting local food production and consumption while decreasing food insecurity.
Get empowered and show your support for our local sustainable food movement! There are many opportunities for engaging with the LFAC, see below for details.
LFAC educates Napa County residents about the sustainable local food system by sharing information, policy updates, and resources. Informing you about how the system works, its impact on the environment, and how to get involved is crucial for building engagement and promoting action.
LFAC aims to improve access to fresh, local food to the community by advising the Napa County Board of Supervisors on critical issues and barriers. Residents with greater access to local food contribute to thriving farms, ranches, and markets, which is essential to maintaining the local food system.
LFAC understands and values production as part of the local food system. It will collaborate with the County to ensure residents, organizations, and local businesses have the information and resources to produce and share food successfully.
Attend a Meeting
LFAC meetings are a great way to get updates on the work being done around the Napa local food system in the County and gives you the opportunity to voice your concerns around local and healthy food access. Empower yourself and participate in the next LFAC meeting!
Meetings are generally on the 4th Monday of every other month at the UCCE Meeting Room located at 1710 Soscol Avenue, Napa from 4:00-6:00 pm. Agendas and meeting minutes can be found on the Agricultural Commissioners Page.
Meeting Agenda available at countyofnapa.org.

- City of Calistoga
To apply visit the County Clerk's Page or the City of Calistoga's Page
The Local Food Advisory Council creates small working groups (subcommittees) to take action on, or delve deeper into, a specific topic in order to report back to the full council and the Agricultural Commissioner. If you would like to participate in a LFAC subcommittee please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Small Scale Food Production
The small scale food production subcommittee is reviewing existing regulations such as Cottage Food, Approved Sources, Food Stand and Sidewalk Vendor to determine if and where improvement is needed. Current regulations are difficult to find, in disparate locations, and not necessarily aligned. Creating a single stop matrix can improve transparency, efficiency, and navigation across these access points for producers.
Community Gardens/Farms
The community garden/farm subcommittee is researching and surveying all current community garden spaces in Napa County. These may include traditional gardens, but also school, church, and business gardens.
County Food Policy
The county food policy subcommittee is reviewing current Napa County food purchasing policies and comparing them to other policies that support local food buying.
Connect with Council Members
LFAC members are dedicated to Napa's local food movement. They work to promote local food education, production, and consumption in the community. Get to know each Council member and understand why they are involved by reading their bios here.

- Victoria Bartelt
Chief Financial Officer, Bartelt Engineering; Farmer, Rusty Rake Farming Co.
Napa native
What expertise or experience do you bring to the council?
When my husband and I were starting our business and raising our children, it was my challenge to find inexpensive ways to feed three growing boys and a hardworking husband. I learned to glean excess fresh produce from others who were willing to share and quickly had to teach myself how to preserve fresh food. I shopped "u-pick farms" and grocery store sales, with primarily in season produce and I learned what to do with them. I may no longer need to plan my meals around the "sales", but food security will always be a topic I am passionate about. I look forward to educating residents on the value (both for health and taste) of fresh local produce over the "convenience" factor of the alternative which may be quick and easy but not necessarily the best choice. Also after a battle with breast cancer in 2009 I quickly adapted my diet to add more local fresh produce and remove as many carcinogenic items and food as possible in my diet. I believe my experience in these areas can both benefit and add a fresh perspective to the council.

DISCOVER MORAY | moray was
mORAY WAS
Brooding castles, ancient stone monuments, picturesque fishing villages and classical architecture. All provide markers in the timeline of Moray history and insight into what Moray Was. Whilst the human history and the political and demographic landscape of Moray has changed dramatically throughout its rich history, the irrepressible spirit of the Moray people has remained a constant. Moray Was is a whistlestop tour of that history.

A number of people in the world are interested in the concept of investing. Indeed quite a few of us are afraid of the very word 'investment' because of its negative associations it has with risks. The article below provides some tips that will help you to make wise investment decisions that will give you the desired yield.
Get the Help of Professionals
With the help of the right professionals and experts, you will be able to make great investment decisions.

Get in touch with a great investment advisor or even read books on the subject to become aware of the tips that professionals use. This way you will be able to make great decisions for sure.
Look for Forex currency trading brokers in your area and get in touch with them if you need to maximize your earnings. The help that you receive such experts will help you to navigate through the stormy seas of the stock market for sure!
Learn As Much As You Can
You need to become educated about the industry and all the possible investment options that are open for you. This way you will get the confidence to make the right investment choices on your own. If you rely too much on the support and information of external parties, you will not be able to operate your investment portfolio freely. This will limit your chances of making more money for sure.
You should always aim to invest in options that you are familiar with. If you don't do this, the whole process will seem daunting to you.
Invest In Yourself First
Most of us find wealth through the salaries that our jobs offer us! Not many of us can actually live without earning a salary. Investing in stocks, lands and gold is a great idea for sure. But the best investment you will ever make is the investment that you make on yourself! So become better at what you do and enhance your employability. This will give you the chance to earn more in the future. Pay attention to your personal growth and find ways to make yourself better every day.
Don't Overly Diversify
We all know that putting all your eggs in one basket will not be a great idea. But diversifying your portfolio extensively will also be a bad idea. You will not be able to keep track of all your investments this way and so you will lose valuable chances to increase your earnings. This will be an unfavourable situation for you for sure.
So try to invest your money in a few good stocks and monitor their performance diligently. This way you will be able to make timely decisions which will help you to enhance your earnings for sure.
Hope these tips will help you to maximize your revenue and become an esteemed investor!
