Topic: What seafood contains
Published: 27.03.2019 Updated: 18.06.2019
We also do research into how food from the oceans can contribute to global food security. Amongst other things, food security means having safe and nutritious food available at all times. In other words, we must have enough food to feed the world's population, and it must contain the right nutrients.
Seafood contains nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, iodine and selenium. These nutrients are not found in many other foods.
Nutrients in seafood
Fish and other seafood are a source of high-quality proteins. Seafood also contains marine-derived omega-3 fatty acids that our body struggles to make itself.
Fatty fish is a source of vitamin D, while lean fish like cod is one of the best sources of iodine within the Norwegian diet.
Omega-3 fatty acids
There are two main types of omega-3 fatty acids in our diet.
Plant-derived omega-3 fatty acids are mainly found in plants and farmed meat. The highest levels are found in certain plant oils.
Marine-derived omega-3 fatty acids are almost exclusively found in fish and other seafood. This is one of the reasons why the health authorities recommend including seafood in our diets. Fatty fish is especially rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Cod-liver oil and other fish oils also contain high levels of marine-derived omega-3 fatty acids.
It has been documented that the marine-derived omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease when consumed in our food. (FIND OUT MORE ON OUR PAGE ON HEALTH).
Plant-derived omega-3 can be converted into these fatty acids in our body, but the process is inefficient.
Omega-6 fatty acids
Linoleic acid is an essential omega-6 fatty acid that is important for our skin, mucous membranes and cells. Our body cannot produce linoleic acid itself, so we must consume it in our food.
Omega-6 fatty acids are mainly found in plants and in foods made from farmed animals. Plant oils such as soybean oil, maize oil and sunflower oil are particularly rich in omega-6 fatty acids.
Modern agriculture has increased the omega-6 levels in many types of food, including meat, eggs and dairy products. With our modern diet, it isn't difficult for us to obtain enough omega-6; in fact, the reverse is true. Recent research indicates that a high ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids can lead to weight gain and obesity.
On account of the plant-based ingredients in their feed, farmed salmon also provide just as much omega-6 as omega-3. Nevertheless, farmed salmon contain high levels of marine-derived omega-3.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is stored in our liver. Fatty fish, fish liver and cod-liver oil are all rich in it.
In Norway, vitamin D is added to some types of milk and dairy products. In summer, our body can make vitamin D in our skin with the help of sunlight. For the rest of the year, our diet determines our vitamin D levels.
The most important role of vitamin D is to maintain a stable level of calcium in our blood. Serious vitamin D deficiency can lead to skeletal disorders, such as rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults. The consequences of mild vitamin D deficiency are less well documented.
The Norwegian population generally has good vitamin D levels, particularly in summer. However, part of the population has low vitamin D levels in winter. Children, pregnant and breastfeeding women and the elderly are most affected. As people with darker skin types produce less vitamin D in their skin, non-Western immigrants are particularly at risk of vitamin D deficiency in Norway.
Selenium is a chemical element that is found in lean and fatty fish, as well as in products made from grains. Elements found in small quantities in living organisms are known as "trace elements".
Selenium plays an important role in areas such as reproduction and our immune system. It may also play a role in cardiovascular disease, cancer and mental health.
We have 5-15 milligrams of selenium in our body, in our cells and tissues, with most of it being in our liver and kidneys. We consume it through a variety of foods.
Our daily intake is thought to be 70-80 micrograms, but the amount we need has not been ascertained.
Nutrients and unwanted substances interact
When we eat, we don't eat nutrients or unwanted substances one by one. We eat a combination of them – the whole food product, in other words. When discussing how food products affect our health, we have to take into account all of their contents. Their combined effect may be different from the sum of their individual ones.
Even if a food product contains substances that may be harmful to health, their negative impact may be outweighed by positive ones. The dietary advice given by the health authorities is the result of weighing up positive and negative impacts. The reason they recommend eating a certain amount of seafood per week is that research shows that the positive impacts are bigger than the potential negative ones.
For example, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations recently confirmed that the protection provided by marine omega-3 fatty acids against cardiovascular disease is much more significant than the risk of developing cancer due to unwanted substances in seafood.
Unwanted substances in seafood
All food contains certain levels of unwanted substances. In the case of farmed fish, these may be substances that are used to make food production more efficient (such as delousing agents), or substances in the environment from either natural or human sources. They include organic pollutants such as dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs, as well as heavy metals like lead and cadmium. Seafood may also contain parasites and bacteria that either affect its quality as a food product or cause illness in humans.
The Institute of Marine Research monitors the levels of unwanted substances in various types of both farmed and wild seafood.(link to article on safe seafood).

Arsenic is a heavy metal that is found in small quantities all over the Earth's crust. It is also produced by industrial activities and was previously used in agriculture as a pesticide.
Marine fish contain arsenic in over ten different chemical compounds, the majority of which are organic compounds that are not poisonous.
Inorganic arsenic compounds such as arsenic trioxide are carcinogens, and they also affect our nervous system. The oceans contain organic compounds of arsenic that are soluble in water.
The main compound found in fish and other seafood is arsenobetaine, which is a non-toxic form of arsenic. Humans absorb arsenobetaine, but they excrete it unchanged.
Published: 29.03.2019 Updated: 12.06.2019
Cadmium is a heavy metal that is found naturally in the environment, including in soil. Cadmium has also been used in a wide range of industrial processes, including in batteries and mining, and to protect steel against rusting. It is transported in both the water and air, and enters the oceans via rivers.
Grain products and vegetables are the most important source of cadmium in Europe. Cadmium isn't absorbed much by fish, but it can accumulate in crustaceans.
Cadmium, which has a long half-life in humans, can cause cancer. It can also accumulate in our kidneys, leading to kidney failure, as well affecting our ability to reproduce.

Mercury is a heavy metal found in various chemical forms. The most toxic form is organic mercury, also known as methylmercury.
Mercury occurs naturally in the environment from sources such as volcanic eruptions and degassing. Human activities such as mining and industry also lead to mercury emissions.
Methylmercury is passed from the mother to her baby during pregnancy, and large quantities of it can cause deformities in the child. It also affects the mental development of both foetuses and infants, and may reduce learning ability and negatively affect fine motor skills.
Fish and other seafood, and particularly lean fish, is currently the main source of mercury in our diet.
Dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs
Published: 29.03.2019 Updated: 12.06.2019
Dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs are organic pollutants that contain chlorine.
These days, most dioxins come from combustion, and of the 210 different dioxin compounds, 17 are particularly poisonous. Polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs, are a group of industrial chemicals that were developed in the 1920s. PCBs were used in products like transformer oil, paint and refrigerants, but they were banned in Norway in 1980.
12 of the 209 PCB compounds are referred to as dioxin-like PCBs, because they behave in the same way as dioxins. Dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs are both hard to break down and fat-soluble, which means they accumulate in the food chain and in the bodies of fish, other animals and humans. They are found in fatty fish, meat, dairy products and eggs. In fatty fish they are found in the fillet, whereas in lean fish they are in the liver.
Dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs are carcinogens and during pregnancy they can cause foetal deformities.
Brominated flame retardants
Published: 29.03.2019 Updated: 12.06.2019
Brominated flame retardants are a group of around 70 substances that contain the chemical element bromine. They are used in a variety of products from textiles to electronics to prevent them from catching fire.
These chemicals reduce the risk of fire by raising the ignition temperature of materials. Brominated flame retardants are particularly widely used in electrical and electronic equipment, paint, car parts, synthetic textiles, furniture, construction materials and packaging.
Many of them are considered persistent organic pollutants, and most of them are now illegal to use. We are exposed to these chemicals through the air and our food, and in the case of seafood they are found in fatty fish.

Ethoxyquin (EQ) is a synthetic antioxidant that is often added to fish meal to prevent it from exploding during transport by sea and storage.
Feed containing fish meal therefore also contains ethoxyquin, and it can be transferred to the edible part of the salmon. It is illegal to use ethoxyquin as a food additive.
Ethoxyquin is transferred from the feed to the fish fillet, but there it is quickly transformed into other compounds.
With the help of new analytical tools, researchers have ascertained which compounds ethoxyquin is transformed into in the fish fillet. They found many different compounds, with the most common one being ethoxyquin dimer (EQDM). Ethoxyquin dimer has a long half-life and takes a long time to disappear from salmon fillets.
There is no evidence of exposure to ethoxyquin causing any harm to humans, but in experiments, mice given high doses of it showed signs of oxidative stress and of disruptions to their metabolism of fat that could be a precursor to fatty liver.
Published: 29.03.2019 Updated: 12.06.2019
Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) is a synthetic antioxidant that is mainly added to fish oil to prevent the fat from going rancid.
Fish oil is used as an ingredient in fish feed, and some BHA is therefore present in that fish feed. BHA is less widely used than the other synthetic antioxidants. It is used in some food products such as cake mixes, snacks and powdered milk. In seafood it is found at very low levels in farmed salmon that has been given feed containing BHA.
There is no evidence of exposure to BHA causing any harm to humans, but experiments on rats have shown that it can be carcinogenic if taken in large doses.
Published: 29.03.2019 Updated: 12.06.2019
Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) is a synthetic antioxidant that is mainly added to fish oil to prevent the fat from going rancid.
Fish oil is used as an ingredient in fish feed, and some BHT is therefore present in that fish feed. BHT is found in many food products such as sauces, chewing gum and food oils, but in seafood it is only found in farmed fish that has been given feed containing BHT. This is the synthetic antioxidant most commonly found in fillets from farmed salmon.
There is no evidence of exposure to BHT causing any harm to humans, but experiments on rats have shown that it can be carcinogenic if taken in large doses.

The body needs iodine in order to produce the thyroid hormones T3 and T4. These hormones are produced in the thyroid gland and regulate our metabolism throughout our life.
Iodine plays an important role in regulating the metabolism of adults and is important to the growth and development of children. Norwegian studies suggest that mild to moderate iodine deficiency in mothers may be associated with impaired cognitive development in their children.
Lean fish is the food in the Norwegian diet with the highest iodine content, but dairy products are nevertheless the population's most important source of iodine.

Over 300 surface sediment samples from the Central and South Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea were investigated for the preservation state of the aragonitic test of Limacina inflata. Results are displayed in spatial distribution maps and are plotted against cross-sections of vertical water mass configurations, illustrating the relationship between preservation state, saturation state of the overlying waters, and overall water mass distribution. The microscopic investigation of L. inflata (adults) yielded the Limacina dissolution index (LDX), and revealed three regional dissolution patterns. In the western Atlantic Ocean, sedimentary preservation states correspond to saturation states in the overlying waters. Poor preservation is found within intermediate water masses of southern origin (i.e. Antarctic intermediate water (AAIW), upper circumpolar water (UCDW)), which are distinctly aragonite-corrosive, whereas good preservation is observed within the surface waters above and within the upper North Atlantic deep water (UNADW) beneath the AAIW. In the eastern Atlantic Ocean, in particular along the African continental margin, the LDX fails in most cases (i.e. less than 10 tests of L. inflata per sample were found). This is most probably due to extensive "metabolic" aragonite dissolution at the sediment-water interface combined with a reduced abundance of L. inflata in the surface waters. In the Caribbean Sea, a more complex preservation pattern is observed because of the interaction between different water masses, which invade the Caribbean basins through several channels, and varying input of bank-derived fine aragonite and magnesian calcite material. The solubility of aragonite increases with increasing pressure, but aragonite dissolution in the sediments does not simply increase with water depth. Worse preservation is found in intermediate water depths following an S-shaped curve. As a result, two aragonite lysoclines are observed, one above the other. In four depth transects, we show that the western Atlantic and Caribbean LDX records resemble surficial calcium carbonate data and delta13C and carbonate ion concentration profiles in the water column. Moreover, preservation of L. inflata within AAIW and UCDW improves significantly to the north, whereas carbonate corrosiveness diminishes due to increased mixing of AAIW and UNADW. The close relationship between LDX values and aragonite contents in the sediments shows much promise for the quantification of the aragonite loss under the influence of different water masses. LDX failure and uncertainties may be attributed to (1) aragonite dissolution due to bottom water corrosiveness, (2) aragonite dissolution due to additional CO2 release into the bottom water by the degradation of organic matter based on an enhanced supply of organic matter into the sediment, (3) variations in the distribution of L. inflata and hence a lack of supply into the sediment, (4) dilution of the sediments and hence a lack of tests of L. inflata, or (5) redeposition of sediment particles.

National Parks Service: Wheeling Heritage Re-Authorized
WHEELING — The National Parks Service deemed Wheeling Heritage worthy of continued funding, renewing the organization's authorization this week.
Last fall, the federal agency did a required evaluation of Wheeling Heritage — the first of the group since Wheeling was declared a National Heritage Area in 2008. The resulting report by the NPS had to be sent to Congress before House and Senate members could vote on re-authorizing federal funding for Wheeling Heritage.
As the clock ticked down this month on the current fiscal year, Congress still had not received the report or the request for re-authorization, according to information provided by the office of U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-West Virginia. Failure to secure the authorization by June 30 would have resulted in Wheeling Heritage having no funding for fiscal year 2020.
Earlier this month, Manchin sent a letter to Dan Smith, acting director of the NPS, asking when the report would be sent to Congress. He also highlighted the important economic and cultural effects Wheeling Heritage has had on Wheeling and the surrounding community.
This week, Manchin received word back from Smith the report had been finalized, and was on its way to Congress.
While approving Wheeling Heritage's authorization, Congress also assured a $2 million funding cap for Wheeling Heritage. When combined with community donations, drawing down on the $2 million should keep Wheeling Heritage in operation for at least the next four years, according to executive director Jake Dougherty.
He reports this year's annual budget for Wheeling Heritage was $596,000.
"We received the final step when the letter was delivered to Congress from the National Parks Service saying we had met our mandate, have been good stewards of the federal money, and should continue operating," Dougherty said.
"This is all very good for Wheeling and Wheeling Heritage."
He explained the federal funding provides the foundation for the group to operate its core programs pertaining to the preservation of downtown building, and assisting start-up businesses and organizations to grow. But Wheeling Heritage still needs community support to operate, according to Dougherty.
"We're very fortunate to have such a generous community," he said.
In a released statement, Manchin commended Wheeling Heritage's effort.
"It is great that Wheeling Heritage has finally been approved to continue getting the funding it needs," Manchin said. "Wheeling Heritage brings joy to so many and attracts countless tourists, which are vital to Wheeling's economy. I have been fighting to make sure NPS expedited their review of Wheeling Heritage because I know just how important it is to our state.
"Although I am disheartened that it took so long for the report to be reviewed, I applaud Acting Director Smith and NPS for their quick response to my letter and look forward to working with them to fast-track this process in the future," he said.

Crock Pot Bread Pudding
Bread Pudding Crock Pot Recipe
A crock pot bread pudding is the best option when you are cooking for a family or you just want to make multiple meals ahead of time. It is easy to make a large batch in a crock pot (slow cooker). While I love my Mom's recipe that you cook on the stove top and in the oven, it is intended more for a single serving.
One of my favorite aspects of a slow cooker bread pudding recipe is that you don't need to scald the milk. Standing in one spot and just stirring kind of drives me nuts. With a bigger serving it would just take even longer. So when I want to get my breakfast meals prepared ahead of time, for the mornings that I have to go to work, I prefer to use my crock pot.
When it is done cooking I can leave some serving dishes in the fridge and freeze some more for later. It is also perfect for a nice family breakfast. It is something you can do even on a busy morning. Since you can start it the night before and let it cook overnight (if your crock pot has a timer).
If you want to make it into a dessert you can serve it with ice cream or top it with some caramel sauce.
Cook Time
Total Time: 3 to 3.5 hours
Serves: 4-6
- 8 Cups of Cubed Bread
- 2 Cups of Milk
- 4 Eggs
- 1/2 Cup of Sugar
- 1/4 Cup of Butter

- Crack open the 4 eggs into a large mixing bowl and stir them to mix the yoke.
- Add the milk to the bowl
- Melt the 1/4 cup of butter in a microwave (or stove top) and then add it to the mixing bowl
- Add the sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to the bowl
- Stir the ingredients to mix them together.
- Grease the crock pot
- Place the cubed bread in the crock pot
- Pour the liquid mixture from the mixing bowl over top of the bread
- Stir it gentle to help coat all of the bread.
- Set the crock pot to low and cook for 3 to 3.5 hours.
Is Bread Pudding For Breakfast or Is It a Dessert?
Hello! at this moment, im trying it out! the bread pudding, were using wheat bread, well...bc theres no white bread
This looks delicious!!!
Sounds delicious..
I will definitely be trying this one! great pic :)
Wow, hadn't thought of a crock pot for bread pudding ... HEY! I say it is good whenever.
This looks wonderful, and I'll try it for both breakfast and dessert! I'll use gluten-free bread for my daughter with celiac. I just know everyone will love it! Thank you!


text: 5 IAQ Myths That Jeopardize Workplace Wellness 12/29/2016 | By Justin Feit Misconceptions about the air you breathe can be costly A study from Harvard University and SUNY Upstate Medical University found that those working in high-performing buildings with green certifications perform better than those who do not. Occupants in these buildings had a 26.4% higher cognitive function score, 30% fewer sick building symptoms and a 6.4% higher rating of sleep quality. With these impacts in mind, it is important to consider IAQ in the scope of your building's health and wellness plan. Be sure you are taking the best measures with the air your occupants breathe by first understanding some of the biggest myths that can cloud IAQ judgment. Myth #1 – Providing high ventilation rates is too expensive. One barrier preventing FMs from investing in better IAQ is that they believe it will cost too much to improve. However, with the increase in productivity that good IAQ provides, it can eventually pay dividends. "People have the conception that it's too expensive to provide better IAQ and higher ventilation rates, but when you actually look at the data, higher outside air ventilation rates and better filters are low cost options," says William Fisk, Senior Scientist of the Indoor Environment Group at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. "The estimated benefits when you quantify financial gains from improved health, reduced absence or increased performance are many times higher than the implementation costs." An earlier study from Harvard and SUNY-Upstate Medical reveals specific findings about cognition in green buildings vs. conventional ones. The researchers found that crisis response was 97% higher in green conditions and 131% higher in green buildings with enhanced ventilation, strategy skills 183% and 288% higher, and information usage 172% and 299% higher. One key influence on lower cognitive abilities in poorly ventilated buildings is carbon dioxide. Bud Offermann, President of Indoor Environmental Engineering in San Francisco, notes, "People's productivity and cognitive ability degrade at elevated CO2 concentrations. You have improvement in cognitive abilities when you increase the ventilation rate past the ASHRAE guidelines in the reduction of CO2." Moreover, poor ventilation and filtration can contribute to Sick Building Syndrome. Pollutants, dust, pathogens and other materials in the air that trigger respiratory issues can proliferate illness in a building and exacerbate absenteeism. If untreated, poor IAQ can have critical costs. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cite $225.8 billion in productivity losses linked to absenteeism, equating $1,685 per employee. Fisk suggests the use of economizers because they "increase the average ventilation rates a great deal – they can double them – and they save energy." Measures like this can offset some of the costs associated with bringing in healthy air, and they will continue to do so in terms of productivity. "If you can tweak the performance of the individuals that you're paying by even a little bit, you're making a big impact on the bottom line," says Simon Turner, CEO of Healthy Buildings in Lake Forest, CA. Ultimately, taking a more proactive approach to IAQ will yield greater productivity and fewer absences, providing a significant return on investment. Myth #2 – All greenbuildings have quality IAQ. While the aforementioned studies both point out that the green buildings they researched have achieved better results from their occupants, it is important to note that the label "green building" can be deceiving in some instances because some certification programs do not prioritize IAQ. In an article appearing in the journal Building Environment, researchers from the University of Melbourne, James Cook University, UC-San Diego and the Technical University of Denmark address the often tenuous relationship between "green" buildings and IAQ, finding that some green practices have unintended effects. "Green buildings have the potential to promote more favorable IAQ," writes the research team. "However, 'green' does not necessarily guarantee good IAQ. Certification schemes may provide inadequate incentive in the credit system for improving IAQ." The only way to ensure that your building – green or not – is providing healthy IAQ is to be proactive in providing proper ventilation, the best possible filtration, regular maintenance and cleaning and diligent testing. Myth #3 – Natural materials will create cleaner air. Just as the label "green building" may not account for IAQ, products that boast being "natural" might be harmful to indoor air. There is a common conception that natural products are healthier than others simply because they are natural. But the truth is, being a natural product can mean almost anything, and what might be healthy in one aspect can be damaging in others. "Certain green practices and products could actually impair IAQ," explains the Building Environment study. "So-called green, natural or organic products or materials can nonetheless contain or generate hazardous constituents." Be wary of greenwashing because these labels may not have any legitimate reason for including green descriptions. What may seem to be a healthy and safe material might only be considered a natural or green product for marketing purposes. "Given that consumer products and building materials are a primary contributor to IAQ, truly green products and materials are essential to good IAQ," write the researchers. "However, products marketed as green and related attributes, such as natural and organic, often lack scientific substantiation and justifiable criteria for their claims." Although they aren't typically considered building products, plants are natural and quite literally green materials thought to help IAQ. But when they are implemented in indoor spaces, there is little scientific evidence to prove that they actually impact the air. "Plants don't do anything positively for the indoor air," says Offermann. "In fact, there are some potential downfalls – if they get overwatered, they're in a wicker basket that gets moldy, or people start spraying pesticides." If you adequately tend to the plants, they might look nice aesthetically in your building, but they won't do much for IAQ. Make sure you do research when picking out products and materials to find out how they actually impact IAQ while also making sure you are doing your part to ensure proper ventilation. Myth #4 – Testing IAQ will leave me vulnerable for liability. In the case of many IAQ issues, you need to perform specific testing measures to identify them because several are not detectable by sight or smell. Consequently, it is not uncommon for FMs to be hesitant to test for IAQ issues for fear of being held liable if the testing reveals a serious problem that affects occupants. However, it is quite the opposite. "It's a big misconception that testing or examining IAQ opens up some kind of Pandora's Box," says Turner. "There's an old school line of thinking that 'If I test for IAQ, I'm going to document bad things and that's going to give me a paper trail that will damage me from a liability perspective.' But you don't get sued for due diligence, you get sued for negligence." If there are IAQ issues that go undetected, you actually become more liable. So be sure that you are testing regularly and keeping lines of communication open. Turner advises using "a combination of air testing, physical inspections and good communication so that information about the building is getting to the engineers, to the property managers and ultimately to the tenants." Myth #5 – Targeting VOCs should be your first priority. Plenty of attention has been placed on the sources of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the industry because of the adverse effects they have on occupants who might breathe them in regularly. Found in paints, adhesives, flooring and other building products, VOCs can contribute to more acute issues like respiratory irritations, headaches, nausea and dizziness and to chronic exposures over long periods of time including liver and kidney damage, central nervous system damage and even cancer. But in most instances, occupants aren't breathing them in for extended intervals. "There's a great deal of effort put into minimizing VOC levels in buildings via low-emitting materials," says Turner. "It's good to put effort into employing good source control, but most buildings do not have VOC issues. We measure VOC levels in every building we go into, and we hardly ever find elevated VOCs inside the buildings." Most of the time buildings with high VOC levels have been constructed recently, which isn't to say that they aren't found in older buildings – it's just more common in new ones. Therefore, if not already eliminated through proper ventilation, VOC issues will usually be short-lived. "The levels of VOCs quickly die away over the first six months of a building's life – possibly sooner," explains Turner. "We find that the majority of IAQ problems that happen really come down to maintenance and operations, not elevated VOC levels." So while it is important to be conscientious when purchasing materials, nothing can really beat good and dependable ventilation practices.

I find it very interesting, (that's the word I'm choosing to use) that life has been so easy for me since about 2002 that I'd forgotten what it used to be like at times. Because it wasn't always like that (understatement) and I realize that I've been lulled into a false sense of security and well-being as a result of just how easy things had become in the last six years.
Now six years out of 47 is really nothing for anyone else to hate me for so give me a break especially since the relative calm was long overdue.
But, I have to say, lately it's as if the universe has decided that I needed a bit of reminding that maybe everything doesn't always go exactly the way I would like. What do you mean you didn't hire me? Are you a complete moron? Oh ya, people don't always get hired after just one interview at one place. Go figure? I'd forgotten that.
So in addition to it taking longer than I expected to get work, in addition to having a really bad haircut, in addition to not being able to get over this never ending cold in spite of Echinecea, Cat's Claw, Oreganum and sticking my head over a vat of boiling apple cider vinegar every morning, in addition to getting up in the morning, looking in the mirror and thinking, Did I have a stroke during the night? Is it possible that I have Down's Syndrome and I just slipped under the diagnostic radar for most of my life?
If that's not enough, let's just throw in some hot flashes to spice things up. This is a new experience for me and I've decided that instead of calling what I'm now going through the proper term - Menopause - I'm going to refer to it as Wasabi. Are you having a hot flash? No. No. I'm just having a wee bit of Wasabi. You know what I mean? It's the double-sided pain and pleasure that's a lot like when you ingest too big a clump of Wasabi. It's a love hate experience. I love wasabi. I love to hate how it feels going right up my nose into my sinuses. I love the shock of it because I must be a masochist at heart. I love to love the taste of the wasabi mixing with the soy sauce and the sushi. Yum.
And, while we're getting used to Wasabi let's add in a few other condiments. How about some Sake? It seems that I get to drink that every morning at 4 am. I'm not sure what other reason I have to be awake then,but I am, so I'm going to call it the Sake hour. Because it's time to get out of the sack, just because, perhaps I'm anticipating Sake, even though I've never tasted a drop of Sake in my entire life.
Then, a few hours later, at 6:00 am, it's time to get back in the sack because that's when it feels like I've had way too much Sake and i'm tired. If I actually had a job, there is no way I could possibly get up, get dressed, fix the monster hair and look like a normal human being with a functioning brain at 9 am. When I put it like that, I've just realized that I've now become my biggest liability. I'm like that teenage kid that can't function because they were up all night. But, I don't have a mom to get me out of bed.
The only saving grace that I can come up with at this point is that it could be worse. I could have teenagers in addition to all this. I could have a gorgeous, high maintenance teenaged daughter who was driving me nuts with her make-up and her brand name jeans and her skinniness and her high school dramas and her PMS and the never ending phone calls from me to her and her hating me and me hating her.
I could have a husband going through a mid-life crisis. Geez. He'd be taking his life in his hands. That actually brings a smile to my face just thinking about that. I'll give you something to have a crisis over sweetheart! Just stick around! It's the Wasabi talking.
When I put it like that, maybe things aren't so bad afterall. I just have to put up with my big whopping Wasabi self. I'll try not to beat myself with chopsticks or use them against anyone. Help me out here. Try not to give me even the teensiest little reason!

Can one overstate the importance of having internet access? I'm not sure. It's increasingly important. It's been increasingly important for over a decade and we're not sure if it will ever stop increasing in importance onto eternity. It just might.
So you're traveling, and you don't have an international data plan for your phone. You want Wifi. Worry not, my traveling friend, as we'll tell you where you're most likely to find Wifi both traveling and on-the-go.
1. Look for Major International Chain
McDonald's, Starbucks and Apple stores are known to offer free Wifi, meaning you don't even need to buy anything, but you know, it couldn't hurt. Our recommendation is that you buy some fries or a coffee or something. If many people take advantage of free Wifi in a way that's detrimental to their business, it might become a less common business practice, and we don't want that, do we? We want to show appreciation, when we can, and when we can't... well you can't, don't beat yourself up about it.
2. Try the Public Library
Public libraries are usually great places to access the Internet. A lot of times you'll find internet access for free, maybe with time limitations, but free internet access nonetheless.
If you need a library card or something like that to access the internet in that public library, try explaining your situation to the librarian. Tell them you're traveling and don't have a library card but really need to use the internet. They'll be willing to help you out most times.
3. Check with your Hostel or Hotel
Chances are, if you're staying at a hostel or hotel, that they offer Wifi to their guests. It may be included, it may be charged additionally. The way we look at it, either way, it sounds like a thing worth paying for, specially since you can get Wifi at times when all other options aren't available. You won't have Wifi at all times, but you'll have the certainty that you can, at the end of the day, get in touch with your loved ones, send them a picture, let them know you're doing ok. Those kinds of things are important.
4. Buses or Trains
This is a bit of a long shot it really depends on where you are, but there's a trend among buses and trains to offer Wifi to their passengers. It's not true everywhere, but it's true in some places. If you're lucky enough to find yourself somewhere where this applies, take full advantage of it. You need to get around somehow anyway.
5. Ask Around
You might've traveled somewhere remote where there are no evident free Wifi spots that you can identify. Try asking a local: some local business owner or someone that looks like a local that you see is using a smartphone or any internet connected device. Don't ask them to use their network directly but rather ask them if they know any free Wifi spot in the area.
If they can't point you in the right direction, they might feel inclined to help you out anyway.
And that's it. Have a good one. If none of these tips help you find Wifi when you need it, we recommend that you drop to the ground, cry and plead to a stranger for help.
That was a joke.
Thank you reading this post. As always, we hope you enjoy our content. If you like, feel free to share it with your friends! Don't forget to check out our perfect travel organizer, trust us, it will make traveling so much easier. Goodbye Traveler!

Cirque du Soleil Luzia: A Waking Dream of Mexico– High Concept, Low Thrill
There were no oohs and ahs, no gasps, no children pointing and little laughter at Sunday afternoon's performance of venerable Cirque du Soleil. Though the audience clapped in time when commanded and two adult volunteers gamely allowed themselves to be made fun of, excitement was at low ebb for a high concept, otherwise pedestrian version of Cirque. With six shows in Las Vegas and 11 on the road, this one's looking pretty thin.
Fool Koller (a clown) is dropped into "a land of memories" -we're to know this how?- and appears intermittently throughout the show, often occupying the audience as lengthy set-ups occur. He wears no make-up, an uninteresting costume, and mimes without appeal.
None of the acts are innovative. We have hoop diving-enhanced by treadmills (a troop somersaults through hoops), a basic "Adagio" (partner dance), two cyr wheels (8' rings in which women spin and twirl), hand balancing, a football (soccer) demonstration (Pele was better), acrobats on low trapezes, acrobatics on an aerial strap (drenched and dipping into a pond), juggling (and dropping) short batons.
Highlights: A low key, low tightrope dance captivates. Swing to Swing with jettisoned performers flying between extra long swings, is skilled and originally configured. "Masts and Poles" spotlights seven strong, agile practitioners who pose, flip, wrap, circle, and drop suspended from by hands, arms, knees, or feet. Contortionist Alksei Goloborodko is the best I've seen. Seemingly boneless, the young man is lithe, graceful, and imaginative.
Set Designer Eugenio Caballero chooses a minimalist take with a "neutral stage… variation on the black box concept." Visuals feature an attractively lit giant disc "symbol of grandeur of Mexican architecture" and a "paper picado curtain" like the country's iconic cut-out lanterns – best seen when down between performance. A few giant, hand held leaves and some skinny trees comprise the rest of the set, each during one act. That's it.
Copious amounts of water rains on performers to no perceptible end. Granted, one cloudburst astonishingly features wet shapes – butterflies, flowers, foliage – cascading from above, but otherwise wet is wet. One sympathizes with thespians. Presenting Luzia in the round with the addition of a turntable stage and treadmills provides fluidity and sightline.
Wonderful, oversized stallion and jaguar puppets (inhabited by performers) might just as well be on display for lack of participation. There's a great deal of walking and standing around in this show. The company seems to deflate watching its peers. Energy flags. No perceptible choreography or organization is apparent when someone is not in a spotlight.
Costumes by Giovanna Buzzi consist of headpieces which are well crafted, but have little effect from a distance and performer outfits mostly in print-patterned white creating an uncolorful stage. That this represents a geography known for vibrancy seems to be a contradiction. Birds are winning, though not dynamic.
Mexican vocalist Majo Cornejo is splendid, but very underused. Highlighted musicians are also fine, especially Felipe Saray, but music is generic.
All in all, underwhelming.

Our business philosophy revolves around the creation of great business ideas that utilize technological innovations to solve problems. If a business we create shows promise, then we recruit a great team and invest a maximum of 250,000 US Dollars in that business. We then either 1) bring on outside investors in the form of venture capital or angel investment, 2) sell the business, 3) keep it private (if it is profitable), or 4) close it (if it is not).
We create businesses through our offices in North America (Silicon Valley), South Asia (Kerala, India), the Middle East (Bahrain), Africa (Mauritius), and South East Asia (Singapore).
The nature of our businesses means that we hold stakes in exciting companies across the world. These companies are united in their "DNA" at the time that we "create" them, by their ideas towards business success. They are united by the underlying belief (and basic economic principle) that success in business is achieved only if it results in improving the lives of customers, by offering them superior long-term value, thereby maximizing their utility.
MBA Fakhro Group holds, at its essence, a sense of its commitment to give back to the community by investing a part of its profits towards improving the lives of the people of the world.

If you want to visit Cusco, the capital of the Inca Empire that houses The Sacsayhuaman Fortress, one of the most finely worked stone structures from our ancient civilization, you must take a tour with Machu Travel Perú!
A brief overview of the Sacsayhuaman Fortress
The walls of the fortress are composed of different shapes of stones which were precisely cut to fit tightly together like a jigsaw puzzle. This exemplifies the precise masonry skills of the Incas.
Sacsayhuaman is located on the hill above Cusco, where you can get an incredible and stunning view of the magical city and its important landmarks, like Plaza de Armas and La Catedral. In fact, the fortress is a nice place to observe the preciseness of Inca design and architecture.
According to history, the Sacsayhuaman Fortress was used for military and religious purposes during the Spanish conquest, many rituals were held there. The Spaniards described it as a labyrinth of storerooms where the Incas kept food and weapons.
The Fortress is made up of three large terraces built in a zigzag pattern. The ramparts feature 22 salient angles on each level which represent the teeth of the puma. At the top of the fortress, there are also three guarded towers that were linked by a series of underground passages.
The Sacsayhuaman Fortress has been divided into three zones: The military fortress, the religious ceremonial site, and the parade ground.
The Parade ground runs in from of the ramparts on the ground level. It probably was a ceremonial square for military and religious events. Now, it is used for the spectacle of Inti Raymi (Festival of the Sun).
Opposite the hilltop fortress, across the Parade ground, is the "Rodadero". An area crowned by polished rocks which are known as the Inca's throne. The rocks make good slides, so "El Rodadero" is considered a natural hillside playground. The Inca youth played there for hundreds of years, and nowadays all the visitors climb the stones and have fun. It sounds really cool, doesn't it? So, don't hesitate, take a city tour in Cusco. You won't regret!
The Sacsayhuaman Fortress is, without a doubt, a clear example of the perfect Inca architecture and also great archaeological evidence of our majestic and historic past. You can have a chance to look into the wonderful Inca Empire history which contained about 100 different ethnic groups at its heydey.
In addition, Sacsayhuaman is a word in Quechua that means "satisfied falcon". The falcon was considered the guardian of the Inca Empire. The Sacsayhuaman Fortress represents the head of Cusco's famous puma shape and as we mentioned before, its walls represent the puma's teeth.
On the other hand, the colorful city of Cusco is an attraction by itself. The combination of the Inca culture and the Spanish culture makes Cusco a unique and incredible city full of history. Its Andean atmosphere filled with wooden balconies, narrow streets, Inca walls, and colonial architecture, offers a lot of things to do in Cusco.
Unquestionably, the capital of the Inca Empire is a great place to explore where you will learn about how the two cultures merged.
Sacsayhuaman Fortress and Inti Raymi
Each year on June 24, Cusco celebrates the Inti Raymi or Festival of the Sun, in honor of the Inca god "Inti". A theatrical representation takes place at Sacsayhuaman Fortress where you will witness a real interpretation of the stories about the Inca's heyday and great performances of traditional dance and music. So, if you want to be part of this terrific festivity and feel the energy emanating from the Inca stones, you must book a tour in Sacsayhuaman.
Sacsayhuaman Tips
- Sacsayhuaman Fortress is located on the outskirts of Cusco, like 2km far from the Plaza de Armas. But you can walk there in around 40 minutes, depending on if you are already acclimatized to the Andean altitude. Otherwise, a car ride takes around 10 minutes.
- A tourist ticket is required to visit the Sacsayhuaman Fortress. You can buy it at the entrance and use it also to visit other Inca ruins near Cusco such as Tambomachay, Qenqo, and Pukapukara. All of them are worth a visit.
Unforgettable Time
Machu Travel offers you an interesting itinerary with which you can see something fascinating every day. Sacsayhuaman Fortress is one but there are more attractions to see and get dazzled such as the wonderful Inca citadel of Machu Picchu, the stunning Sacred Valley, the impressive Cusco city and many more. Cusco tours will provide you with memorable and unique experiences.

Lab mission
Our laboratory is in the North Texas Eye Research Institute at the University of North Texas Health Science Center. Our laboratory is dedicated to dissecting the molecular mechanisms responsible for glaucomatous trabecular meshwork damage, elevated IOP, as well as damage to the retina, optic nerve, and visual sensing structures in the brain. Our approach utilizes in vitro, in vivo, and ex vivo model systems combined with advanced molecular genetics, physiology, and imaging techniques.
- Glaucomatous damage to TM cells
Elevated IOP is one of the primary risk factors in the development of glaucoma. The trabecular meshwork (TM) is a critical tissue involved in the outflow of aqueous humor and regulation of IOP. Changes in the extracellular matrix (ECM) environment in the TM can alter the ability of aqueous humor to properly drain from the anterior chamber. The involvement of TGF-β2 signaling pathways in the regulation of the ECM in the TM has been extensively studied. Recent evidence has implicated toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in the regulation of ECM and fibrogenesis in other tissues such as liver, kidney, lung and skin. Current studies in our laboratory are studying crosstalk between the TGFβ2 signaling pathway and the TLR4 signaling pathway in the regulation of the ECM in the TM. These studies could provide new targets to lower IOP and further explain the mechanisms involved in the development of glaucomatous TM damage.
- RGC death in PCG
Primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) is a severe form of glaucoma with age of onset from birth to 3 years of age. PCG causes high IOP, death/damage to RGCs and the optic nerve, and can lead to permanent loss of vision. The cellular mechanisms leading to RGC loss and optic nerve damage are unknown. Clinical studies have suggested that certain RGC subpopulations are more susceptible to glaucomatous damage. By identifying the pattern and timing of cell death of RGC subtypes, we can elucidate mechanistic pathways that predispose RGCs and their axons to failure and/or death. Recently a mouse model of congenital glaucoma was discovered. Mutation in the Sh3pxd2b gene (referred to as nee) causes anterior segment dysgenesis, elevated IOP, RGC death, and optic nerve damage. Our hypothesis is PCG phenotypes in nee mice cause RGC subtype specific cell death over time. We propose to identify RGC subtype specific cell death utilizing nee mice and substrains of mice with GFP selectively expressed by individual RGC subtypes. This unique study will help identify different susceptibilities in RGC subtypes to PCG induced cell death and help to determine the pattern and mechanism of cell death/damage leading to visual field defects in PCG.

Outreach Program- Smokey Mt
just for fun
My American missionary friend travels to the Philippine Island with a group of medical professionals for their missionary outreach program. She owns a purry Persian cat which she entrusted to the care of her younger sister. Three weeks passed by, my missionary friend phoned via long distance to her younger sibling. She asked how's everything at home.
After a casual chit chat she eagerly asked about her Persian pet . " Okay little sister how's my cat "
"She died", said her younger sister. There was a long silence.
My friend exploded in anger and disappointment. " You are very insensitive! Didn't you know how I 'am attached dearly to my cat. You should have broken down the bad news to me.
On my first call, you should have replied – 'she's playing on the roof'. That's when I asked you 'how's my cat?"
On my second long distance phone call, 'she fell down and she's in the hospital'
Finally on my third phone call I assume you already know what you should say, — " the vets did what they could but it's too late, she's gone" ….
"Well, you got it? So by the way how's grandma doing?"
"She's playing on the roof"

Introducing our newest product, the Thermodown 15 Down Quilt! It provides an incredible combination of versatility, warmth and comfort, and should become a key part of your backcountry adventures.
Backcountry quilts offer tremendous versatility that is unmatched by traditional sleeping bags. On cold nights, they can be completely closed up to form a standard mummy sleeping bag, complete with cinch cords at the foot box and collar to keep the warmth in. When the weather warms up, open up the quilt to provide the ventilation needed to keep you nice and comfortable. You can even adjust comfort throughout a backpacking trip as the weather changes.
Quilts are ideal for hammocks where a sleeping bag is inefficient and almost impossible to get into.
They are perfect for side-sleepers and stomach-sleepers that find mummy-style bags too constricting and claustrophobic.
Finally, use the quilt as a simple blanket while enjoying a backcountry meal or high alpine sunset.
The beauty of quilts is that they can be adapted to suit almost everyone, in almost every situation. No need to have several sleeping bags for different seasons or compromise by using the same one throughout the year.
Each quilt is filled with 22 ounces of high quality 700-fill power down for amazing loft and a temperature rating of 15F (-10C). With a size of 78 inches long by 56 inches wide, they are sized generously enough to accommodate almost every backpacker.
To help keep the quilt on your sleeping pad, we include two sleeping pad straps. They are super-simple to use and accommodate pads up to 30 inches wide. Using the straps will keep you on your pad at night and also prevent any drafts while you sleep.
If you pair our Thermodown 15 quilt with a compact and lightweight air pad, such as our popular ReCharge insulated pads, you'll have an incredible sleeping system that can easily fit inside the sleeping bag compartment of most multi-day backpacks.
We're really excited to add the new Thermodown 15 Down Quilt to our product lineup. It's extremely versatile and a great alternative to our traditional Thermodown 15 sleeping bag.
Get yours now in our online store or on Amazon.

Decluttering before you move is a smart way to keep your removal costs down. This means there's less to pack up and move, your move is more efficient and there's less to organise once you've reached your new residence. It can take some time and commitment but a good declutter is worth considering before you call in the removalists.
Even if you aren't planning on moving anytime soon though, an annual declutter can help keep your home feeling fresh and organised. Research suggests that living with clutter can have an impact on our mental health so it's worth keeping on top of.
If you're ready to give decluttering a try, there's a few different methods you can use. We explain some of the most popular methods below.
Room By Room
A traditional approach to decluttering, this method involves decluttering your house room by room. It's as simple as that, working your way through your entire house one room at a time until you have finished decluttering.
You could use baskets to help you organise items into different categories as you go such as:
● Donate
● Throw away
● Fix
● Recycle
This can be a good approach to use in conjunction with moving houses. You can pack up each room as you are decluttering, hopefully ending up with less boxes overall and a more efficient moving process, reducing your overall removal costs.
The KonMari Method
It seems like the whole world is currently decluttering their homes to the tune of the Netflix series, Tidying Up with Marie Kondo.
A Japanese author and organisational expert, Kondo uses the KonMari Method to tidy by category rather than by location. She suggests tidying in the following order:
1. Clothes
2. Books
3. Papers
4. Komono (miscellaneous items)
5. Sentimental items
In order to decide if you keep or discard an item you must ask yourself if it sparks joy. If it does you keep it and if it doesn't you get rid of it. She also recommends thanking items that no longer serve joy before donating them to charity or throwing them away.
With this approach, the whole house is worked on at the same time, moving through each category. This approach would be ideal for a yearly refresh of your house, or after you've settled in to your new home.
The Minimalist Approach
Minimalism is about having less things in your house, thereby reducing clutter permanently. While there are definitely extreme versions of this approach, it doesn't have to mean living in a near-empty house or never buying another thing again. It can simply mean keeping only the items you actually use, and asking yourself whether you really need an extra pair of shoes in your wardrobe.
This approach can be useful if you're downsizing your house or want to have a more positive impact on the environment by consuming less.
Some strategies you can use with this approach are:
● The Closet Hanger Method: Face all coat hangers in your wardrobe the opposite way to normal. As you wear items, place them back in the correct way. After twelve months, anything that is still facing the wrong way is donated or thrown away.
● Out of Sight, Out of Mind: This method can be extreme but would be best undertaken at the same time as moving house. Pack away everything you own into boxes. Only unpack items again as you need to use them. At the end of a predetermined time frame (such as three or six months) give away the unopened boxes or those with items you haven't used.
The F.A.S.T Method
Get rid of as much clutter as you can using the F.A.S.T method. This method has a rule for each letter of the word FAST:
F = Fix a Time: Set aside a day or time for everyone in the house to help with the decluttering process. This might be every Saturday, or for an hour or two each day.
A = Anything not used in 12 months: If you haven't used it in a year, it's likely you don't need it at all. Find unused items and donate or throw them away.
S = Someone else's stuff: If there are items in your house that have been borrowed from someone else, give them back. You don't need other people's belongings adding extra clutter to your house.
T = Trash: When it comes to decluttering, throwing items away is a good thing. Make it a competition and see who can throw away the most things as they work through their space.
A good decluttering of your house is bound to leave you feeling positive and refreshed, no matter why you complete it or which method you choose.
Are you moving house soon? Looking for help with packing?? At Hire A Packer, our experienced and friendly packing ladies can help reduce the stress of your move. For more information on how we can help you with your move, get a quote or call 1300 366 522 today.

I was strolling through Home Depot yesterday and finally saw the new line of grills from Weber, the 2018 Weber Spirit II series. I loved them.
The new Spirit grills are exciting because for the first time there is absolutely no reason at all to call a Spirit a cheap knock off of a Genesis. From a performance standpoint the Spirit II grills come with the GS4 high performance grilling system, are iGrill compatible and have the exact same cast iron grate material as a Genesis.
You can get more information on the GS4 High Performance Grilling system in this article on Weber Spirit vs Genesis grills. One difference on the GS4 system for the Spirit II is the burner tubes. The new Spirit has the same cylindrical burner tubes as on past models and NOT the tapered rectangular tubes found on the Genesis II.
From a reliability standpoint the warranty on the Spirit has been upgraded from five to ten years, again, the exact same as a Genesis.
There are two versions of the Spirit currently available. The E series have lids made of porcelain enameled steel and are available in some beautiful colors including black, red, sapphire and ivory. The S series have lids made of stainless steel and are currently only available at Home Depot.
The Spirit II grills are available in a two burner and three burner configuration. None of the Spirit II grills currently offered have a side burner.
Weber Spirit II E 210 Specifications
- Burners: Two Primary Burners with no Side Burner
- Primary Grilling Area: 360 square inches
- Grate: Porcelain enameled cast iron
- Warming Rack Area: 90 square inches
- Heating Capacity: 26,500 BTU/hr
- Dimensions: 44.5″H X 48″W X 27″D
- Weight: 103 pounds
The reviews for the Spirit II 210 are overwhelmingly positive. Here is a snapshot of the reviews that were posted over on Weber's site as of 7/19/18.
A 96% recommendation rate and a 4.7 star rating after 662 reviews is pretty impressive. I always cross check other sites to make sure the manufacturer isn't playing with the reviews on their site so I pulled the reviews from Lowes as well.
The reviews from Lowes customers are nearly identical to what is on Weber's site.
Customers love this grill.
Weber Spirit II E 310 Specifications
- Burners: Three Primary Burners with no Side Burner
- Primary Grilling Area: 424 square inches
- Warming Rack Area: 105 square inches
- Cooking Grate: Porcelain enameled cast iron
- Heating Capacity: 30,000 BTU/hr
- Dimensions: 44.5″H X 52″W X 27″D
- Weight: 114 pounds
The reviews for the Spirit II 310 grills are nearly identical to those for the 210 series. Here is the 7/19/18 snapshot from Weber.
The Spirit II 310 sports a 94% user recommendation along with an overall 4.6 star score after 664 reviews.
Both the two and three burner Spirit II grills will be available as natural gas models in black only.
In addition to the obvious upgrades, what I love about the new Spirit grills is the styling. The Spirit used to be a "boxy" looking grill that was highly functional but not much to look at. The Spirit II is sleek and beautiful.
Here is the promotion video from Weber for these grills. It only takes two minutes to watch and gives you a close up look at all of the features.
Whether you are talking about performance, reliability or looks there is now absolutely nothing inferior about the new line of Spirit grills. I think Weber has hit a home run with these things but it does leave open an obvious question.
Now that the Spirit II grills have ticked off all of the important boxes, why would anyone buy a Genesis?

Utility Locating in Washington, PA for Precision Pipeline
Precision Pipeline is in the proces of installing a pipeline in Washington, PA to Delmont, PA. Precision Pipeline had made their PA One Calls, but still had a lot of private utilities that were not covered by either One Call or the maps. Precision hired GPRS to sweep the entire right of way, a total distance of 50 plus miles. In the picture below we see a gas and water line that the home owner thought was on the other side of the street.

I noticed the new poll on this site asking if Bo Pelini is the right coach for the Huskers. I was very surpised to see the more people chose "Wait and see".
Can anyone tell me why Bo is not the right coach? If everything he has accomplished in his career and the changes that he has made at Nebraska since he started don't make you want to camp out right now at Memorial Stadium until the spring game then please tell me what are you waiting for.
Husker Nation is coming back and as…Continue

The last couple of weeks have been hell to watch on TV and listen to on the radio. All the talk is of who will coaching where, speculation speculation everywhere.
ESPN made many mistakes during this period, including saying the Bo Pelini was out of the running and that Les Miles was going to Michigan. Kirk Herbstreit even went so far as to say on Game Day that Miles had taken the job at Michigan, which prompted Miles to have an impromptu press conference to state just the…Continue

City hopes to keep NFL Rams in the city with new stadium.
On Saturday I wrote about National Car Rental registering domain names related to naming rights for a sports stadium.
I predicted that it was for St. Louis. St. Louis is working on a plan for a stadium to try to keep the National Football League Rams in town, and National Car Rental is based in St. Louis.
Turns out I was right. The company is pledging $158 million for National Car Rental Field, a proposed stadium on the Mississippi riverfront in St. Louis.
I sent that story to a St. Louis Post Dispatch sports reporter on Saturday. He should have taken a look earlier.

I promise you, this is my last Ultra post. And not just for this year. Finally. After four times definitely my last visit of Ultra Europe in Croatia. Routine? Age? Troubles? Many many questions. I don't know the real answer. Maybe a mix of all those reasons.
Although my first ever Ultra Beach should have made it to a real highlight. Summer, sunset, a huge beach, just positive vibes and a relaxed mood, cold beer. Something like this. Reality: a hotel park of approximately 100 square meters (excl. pool), about 5000 party people, no view on the DJ and beer stockout after two hours.
So we left after an hour. Pissed. But there was a beach bar on our way home and it really saved our evening. A small bar directly on the beach, lots of beer, space to chill, fantastic atmosphere, and beats on Ultra level. Thanks.

Casinos with Real Dealers Available: Playing Real Casino
Playing in an online casino takes place in two ways: first, it is a game against itself, as in computer games; and the second one plays with other people, like in live poker rooms. In any case, players have the opportunity to gamble and enjoy their favorite casino games in their homes.
However, playing with other people is really more interesting and fun, especially in a casino. Therefore, the appearance of a casino with real people really opened up many incredible opportunities for online players. There are many benefits that can be obtained from the live casino employees.
You can also try this site for reliable reviews. This will give you a more objective insight regarding both the pros and cons before you start.
The first advantage is true fun and excitement.
The staff of the live gaming sites offers a true land-based casino environment. This is achieved through the transmission of video in casinos and games, as well as in studio casinos. The studio casinos are designed and decorated to look like real casinos. In addition, all the basic concepts of real casinos are also included in the casinos of study.
Therefore, with all these inclusions, the players could not detect the difference between these live and real casinos in general.
The second advantage is that real dealers shuffle cards and spinning wheels for games such as blackjack and roulette. The presence of these live distributors shows that games are played in real time, not just on the computer. In addition, the housing staff also provides a special aura that is unique only to the casino.
The third advantage is the authenticity of the games.
Blackjack and roulette are the two most popular casino games that are played in the live casino. Like in real casinos, players in live casinos also play for fun and for money. Therefore, if these are some of the objectives set for casino players, the authenticity of the game is very important. Since time immemorial, players have always doubted the authenticity of computer games, so these games are becoming less popular. However, in gaming sites with real people, players are sure that the games are real. If these games are real, the bets and the chances of winning games are also real. Therefore, live gaming sites eliminate the doubts that cause most online casinos.
These advantages are probably the reasons why more and more people participate in live games every day. Sites with live distributors totally involved in online games. In fact, online sites with live people have recently become the most popular and visited. Several gambling websites have included live personnel in their list of features.
In addition, each of these sites offers individual and unique characteristics. Casino players will surely enjoy these games as well as real casino games.
