We continue to find more and more information pertaining to how beneficial it is to laugh. Here is a great little video that is sure to make you think:
Commercial cleaning products, even "green" ones like Simple Green, clean faster than soap and water can. But this is because they contain small amounts of the most powerful grease-cutting class of chemicals known — glycol ethers.
Overexposure to glycol ethers can cause anemia, intoxication, and irritation of the eyes and nose.
In laboratory animals, low-level exposure to glycol ethers has caused birth defects and damage to sperm and testicles. The most commonly used glycol ether, 2-butoxyethanol, has been shown to cause liver cancer in animals. AlterNet reports:
"You are exposed to the glycol ethers when you inhale them as the cleaner is used … Most glycol ethers can silently penetrate your skin and enter your bloodstream … If that were not enough, the glycol ethers also go through natural rubber gloves and many types of plastic gloves without changing their appearance."
The typical American home contains 3-10 gallons of toxic materials, in the form of about 60 different kinds of hazardous household cleaning products. That's right, the very things you use to clean your house are actually the primary sources of toxins and indoor air pollution that Americans expose themselves to year after year. And many of the new "green" alternatives now being offered by major corporations are only green in name, as you will soon discover.
The Cost of Cleaning Your Home
Having a clean home should never cost you something as valuable as your health, but that's exactly what you're putting at risk when you use household cleaners and laundry detergents filled with many of the hazardous chemicals on the market today.
The problem is, when the chemicals in these common household products hit your skin and lungs, they go directly into your bloodstream, bypassing your body's natural defense system against toxins (the liver and kidneys).
This type of indoor pollution is particularly harmful to your health because just one application of a typical household cleaner can leave dangerous chemicals lingering in your indoor air for hours at a time. For people who spend a large amount of their day indoors, this can amount to a frequent chemical attacks on your lungs.
So, which Ingredients are Toxic?
Some of the ingredients in common household cleaners, laundry detergents, and even "green" cleaners that can create a toxic indoor environment include:
- Glycol ethers – Widespread use in paints, perfumes, soaps, cosmetics and foods. Cause fatigue, lethargy, nausea, and possible liver and kidney damage.
- Phthalates – Cause reproductive harm, endocrine disruption, cancer, organ damage.
- Perfumes – Cause headaches, sinus problems, asthma, may cause intoxication and "addiction."
- Phosphates – Manufacturers have reduced eliminated phosphates from laundry products, but no action has ever been taken on dishwasher detergents. Causes widespread environmental damage.
- Nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEs), a common ingredient in laundry detergents and all-purpose cleaners, is banned in Europe, and known to be a potent endocrine disrupter. It's already thought to be the cause of male fish transforming into females in waterways around the world!
- Formaldehyde, found in spray and wick deodorizers, is a suspected carcinogen.
- Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including 1,4-dichlorobenzene – Cause nose and throat irritation, dizziness, asthma.
- Petroleum solvents in floor cleaners may damage mucous membranes.
- Butyl cellosolve, found in many all-purpose and window cleaners. May damage your kidneys, bone marrow, liver and nervous system.
- Ammonia – irritating to the skin, eyes and lungs.
- Chlorine – irritating to the skin, eyes and lungs.
- Ethanolamines – irritating to the skin, eyes and lungs.
- Sodium Lauryl Sulfate – skin irritant, eye irritant, potential cancer causer.
Why "Green" Cleaning Products May NOT Necessarily be Green!
As more and more consumers are learning about the dangers of the products they use in their homes, "green" environmentally friendly options have sparked an industry revolution with a growing number of companies offering their own versions of eco-friendly cleaners. Some examples are Clorox Green Works Natural All-Purpose Cleaner, Simple Green, and Purex Natural Elements.
Unfortunately, the terms "green" and "natural" are nothing more than marketing terms; they're not rigid well accepted scientific terms, and they do not automatically equate to safety. This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who is even slightly familiar with how multinational corporations use marketing to manipulate the image of their products.
If you want a real treat, please pick up and read a highly recommended book on this subject called Subliminal Persuasion: Influence & Marketing Secrets They Don't Want You To Know. This book reveals the systematic techniques used to form opinions or ideologies, in ways that we never suspect. Multinational corporations, like big drug companies, are using these techniques all the time to deceive you.
Many large corporations are chomping at the bit, eager to reach into the wallets of modern, environmentally concerned consumers searching for green alternatives to the toxic stew of chemicals found in conventional cleaning products. "Green" cleaning products are a growing niche market, with green cleaning product U.S. sales totaling $100 million in 2010.
But most "green" cleaning products like Simple Green are still loaded with glycol ethers, which are anything but good for your health when inhaled or when they touch your skin. Folks, the simple truth is that if a substance cuts through grease and dirt any faster than soap and water, then there are chemicals in there that most likely aren't very good for your health.
Why Glycol Ethers are BAD for You
Glycol ether is a generic term for over thirty solvents derived from crude oil, all with different properties, which are used in applications ranging from paints to inks to degreasing agents and cleaning products. Generally speaking, glycol ethers are hazardous when they get on your skin or when they get in your lungs. This is especially true with cleaning products, which are often applied indoors and without proper ventilation.
The glycol ether named ethylene glycol monoethyl ether may be linked to lower sperm count in men, and has caused low birth weight and reproductive abnormalities in animal studies. Pregnant women and small children in particular should avoid expose to glycol ethers, as these groups are more susceptible to damage.
Reading the Labels Won't Always Help
I always advocate reading the labels on the foods and cleaning products you buy, but in the case of household cleaners even the most meticulous eye for labels won't get you very far.
Because many of the most dangerous chemicals will not even be on the label. The manufacturers have conveniently lobbied the government to exempt them from this requirement and can omit any ingredient that is considered a secret formula from its label. Many of these non-disclosed ingredients are actually toxic and carcinogenic.
Household goods are still very much an unregulated market. And, cleaning product manufacturers — even those that claim to be "green" — are not required by law to disclose all of their ingredients on their labels. So while it's still better to read the label than not, be aware that a lack of ingredient on a label doesn't necessarily mean it's not in the product!
How to Clean and Sanitize Without Harmful Chemicals
Some common household items, such as vinegar, baking soda, and lemon juice can get the job done just as well — sometimes even better — than their toxic counterparts. Here's a simple starter list of what you need to make your own natural cleaning products:
- Baking soda
- White vinegar
- Lemon juice
- Hydrogen peroxide
- Liquid castile soap
- Organic essential oils (optional)
- Mixing bowls
- Spray bottles
- Micro fiber cloths
For a great video on how to use these ingredients and other tips for cleaning your home without hazardous chemicals, please review the article: How to Keep Your Home Clean Naturally. For example, vinegar combined with hydrogen peroxide works exceptionally well as both a disinfectant and sanitizer.
Cleaning mirrors and windows is as easy as adding a quarter-cup of white vinegar per quart of water. Add a few drops of liquid dish soap to the mixture if windows or mirrors are really dirty, but be very careful not to use any that contain harmful antibacterial substances.
Most people know that baking soda is an ideal means to absorb odors in your refrigerator, but did you know it's also a real powerhouse when it comes to cleaning?
Half-a-Dozen Uses for Baking Soda
Here are half a dozen examples of how plain and simple baking soda can replace dangerous commercial cleaning products in your home:
- Use as a safe non-scratch scrub — for metals and porcelain.
- To clean your oven — simply sprinkle a cup or more of baking soda over the bottom of the oven, then cover the baking soda with enough water to make a thick paste. Let the mixture set overnight. The next morning the grease will be easy to wipe up because the grime will have loosened. When you have cleaned up the worst of the mess, dab a bit of liquid detergent or soap on a sponge, and wash the remaining residue from the oven.
- To unclog a drain — pour 1/2 – 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, then slowly pour 1/2 – 1 cup of vinegar in after it. Cover the drain and let it sit for 15 minutes. If it bubbles like a volcano, it means it's working as planned. Flush with a gallon of boiling water.
- Deodorize dry carpets — by sprinkling liberally with baking soda. Wait at least 15 minutes, then vacuum.
- To rid your garbage disposal of foul smells — add vinegar to water for ice cubes, then let a few of them get chopped by your disposal.
- To clean your silver — boil 2-3 inches of water in a shallow pan with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and a sheet of aluminum foil. Totally submerge silver and boil for 2-3 minutes more. Remove silver from the pan and wipe away the tarnish with a clean cotton cloth.
Genuine Green Products are Out There!
Dr. Bronner has long made a natural castile soap free of toxic chemicals. This is just one of many truly "green" products available to consumers who are discerning and want to avoid the glycol ethers and phthalates found in most cleaning and laundry products.
For the past four years I have been researching a safe alternative to conventional laundry detergents that are typically chocked full of perfumes, solvents and bleaches that don't belong anywhere near your skin.
I am pleased to announce that I have been able to develop a product that cleans your clothes just as good as conventional laundry detergent, but uses plant and vegetable enzymes to get the job done.
Final Thoughts on Green Cleaners
Don't be fooled by the marketing, or by ingredients that are purposely left off of labels.
The toxic chemicals listed above are found in a wide variety of everyday cleaners and detergents and pose a significant health risk. We are starting to see that now with increased and unexplained cancers, increased infertility and difficulty in reproduction, exploding neurological disorders, ADHD and autism in our children.
These diseases are thought by many to be linked to environmental causes. And many of the toxic ingredients in cleaning products are among the suspected culprits.
Remember, if you have trouble finding safe alternatives, there is nothing wrong with natural soap and water for cleaning most surfaces. It will take a little more elbow grease, and you'll have to rinse the soap off, but the benefit of avoiding toxic chemicals far outweighs any extra effort you might have to put in.
There are so many questions around the topic of supplementing your diet with vitamins and minerals that I wanted to share some facts:
Painless weight loss? If you're desperately trying to squeeze in workouts and avoid your favorite high-calorie treats, it can seem like there's nothing pain-free about it.
Yet while eating healthier and slipping in exercise does take some work, it really doesn't have to require heroic effort. Making just a few simple lifestyle changes can pack a big weight loss punch over time.
Here are some top tips on how to lose weight without sweating it too much.
1. Add, Don't Subtract
Forget diet denial: Try adding foods to your diet instead of subtracting them.
Add in healthy goodies you really love, like deep-red cherries, juicy grapes, or crunchy snow peas. Slip those favorite fruits into your bag lunch and breakfast cereal; add the veggies into soups, stews, and sauces.
"Adding in really works, taking away never does," says registered dietitian David Grotto, RD, LDN, author of 101 Optimal Life Foods, but do remember to keep an eye on overall calories. And don't forget to add in something physical, too, whether it's doing a few dance moves before dinner, shooting hoops, or taking a quick stroll.
2. Forget About Working Out
If the word "exercise" inspires you to creative avoidance, then avoid it. Maybe the trick to enjoying a workout may be to never call it working out.
So burn calories and invigorate muscles by beachcombing, riding bikes, grass skiing, making snow angels, hiking, washing the car, playing Frisbee, chasing the dog around the yard, or even enjoying great sex.
Food sensitivities are a huge underlying cause of inflammation. And chronic inflammation is the underlying cause of virtually every disease. Yet, modern Western medicine looks down upon food as a cause of inflammation. How is it that one can possibly believe that what you put in your mouth has no bearing on your health. That's exactly what's wrong with "health" care in the United States, we don't put enough emphasis on diet and lifestyle. We only look to symptoms to indicate what "treatment" is necessary rather than looking at what caused the symptoms in the first place, and food sensitivities are no different.
I highly recommend watching the food allergy video on Dr.Oz's website. He visually described what I've been explaining to hundreds of patients for 10 years. http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/are-food-allergies-making-you-fat-pt-1
With health care costs continuing to increase at alarming rates, it is more important than ever before to keep your employees healthy. Corporate wellness programs can help you do just that. There are many benefits of corporate wellness programs including that: employees tend to be more productive, have lower health care costs, lower rates of absenteeism and presenteeism, and have fewer workers' compensation claims. Because of the many benefits of corporate wellness programs most companies view wellness programs as an investment in their most valuable asset, their employees.
Benefits of Corporate Wellness Programs: Statistics
- Preventable illness makes up at least 70 percent of all illness and the associated costs
- The total cost of obesity to U.S. employers is $13 billion per year1
- Obese Americans spend about 36 percent more on health services and 77 percent more on medications than people of healthy weight. That's more than heavy smokers or heavy drinkers2
- Workplace alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use costs over $100 billion each year3
- Job stress is estimated to cost $200 to $300 billion annually in absenteeism, tardiness, and lost productivity4
- Workers' compensation costs for a smoker averages $2,189 compared to only $176 for a nonsmoker5
New Year's Eve has always been a time for looking back to the past, and more importantly, forward to the coming year. It's a time to reflect on the changes we want (or need) to make and resolve to follow through on those changes. Did your New Year resolutions make our top ten list?
1. Spend More Time with Family & Friends
Recent polls conducted by General Nutrition Centers, Quicken, and others shows that more than 50% of Americans vow to appreciate loved ones and spend more time with family and friends this year. Make plans to meet up with friends for an evening of camaraderie at a favorite restaurant or take the family to a popular place for family fun. Work shouldn't always come first!
2. Fit in Fitness
The evidence is in for fitness. Regular exercise has been associated with more health benefits than anything else known to man. Studies show that it reduces the risk of some cancers, increases longevity, helps achieve and maintain weight loss, enhances mood, lowers blood pressure, and even improves arthritis. In short, exercise keeps you healthy and makes you look and feel better.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's decision to stay out of the Republican presidential race means that the American people will be spared months of discussion about his ample waistline and the bad example it sets. Nonetheless, with first lady Michelle Obama urging everyone to get moving, obesity remains a political hot potato, or maybe a tater tot. Below, a helping of skepticism about the causes of Americans' poor eating habits—and the effectiveness of political fixes.
1. People in poor neighborhoods lack access to fresh fruits and vegetables.
Walk into nearly any supermarket in the United States, and you are immediately confronted with abundance—bok choy, mangos, melons and avocados from across the globe—where a couple of varieties of apples and carrots once struggled to fill shelf space.
But not everyone has easy access to this fruity phantasmagoria. If you're picking up ingredients for dinner at a gas station or a convenience store, you probably live in what eggheads have taken to calling a "food desert"—an ill-defined concept with powerful policy implications. A commonly cited 2009 statistic from the U.S. Department of Agriculture has 23.5 million Americans living in poor urban and rural areas with limited access to fresh food.
Making those food deserts bloom is a centerpiece of Michelle Obama's anti-obesity agenda. This January found the first lady smiling for the cameras with Wal-Mart executives in Southeast Washington and declaring herself "more hopeful than ever" as she tours the nation's produce sections.

Entrepreneur seeking an investment? Here's a survival guide
January 3, 2012 by Bernard Leong
Here's a situation which some entrepreneurs would go through. They decide to take in an investor or join an incubator program. In front of them, an investor asks for "x" % of equity. The entrepreneurs then speak to different people in the community to get some advice. The opinions will be diverse. They turn to US tech blogs, which give them a totally different picture. All this adds up to a lot of frustration.
Any entrepreneur has to deal with this potential scenario and negotiate in good faith with investors. To help you, here's a checklist of things to do before getting an investment deal.

Movie Review: Soul Surfer
An inspiring true story could have been a better movie
Soul Surfer
Rated: PG
Opens: Friday, April 8, 2011
Personally, I find the story of Bethany Hamilton to be truly inspiring. It blows my mind to see a young girl with only one arm compete in an intense sport like surfing. I want to surf now just because of her!
While the movie Soul Surfer has inspirational moments, it sadly does not do justice to the real life story.
The acting in the film, especially from the adult cast, is what makes this movie okay to sit through. With an over-sentimental script, you could almost see the actors struggling to make their lines not sound wooden.
Kevin Sorbo delivers my personal favorite performance of the entire film, being completely believable throughout. Dennis Quaid and Helen Hunt also did a great job playing Bethany Hamilton's parents. The younger cast was also fine, especially Ross Thomas and Chris Brochu (Bethany's brothers) and Sonya Balmores Chung (Bethany's rival).
And what about our star, AnnaSophia Robb? She's good in a role that is hard to play. Just one thing bugs me about her: she is unbelievable as a surfer. Robb's body type is very petite and different from the body double they used for the stunt surfing shown on screen. It's also different from Bethany's, who acts as the stunt double on many of the scenes after the accident.
To me, she also lacked that adventurous spark that Bethany Hamilton has in real life. But she brings Bethany's soft, caring side to the screen, and she does that very well.
The best parts of this film don't have to do with the central story. I was very impressed with the scenes set in Thailand, where Bethany went to do charity work with her church group after that country was hit by a tsunami. AnnaSophia Robb really shined when she reenacted how Bethany taught a little boy, and eventually a whole group of people, how to surf. This was also Carrie Underwood's best moment in the film. She plays Bethany's Christian youth group leader.
Overall, the film is pretty good. My biggest problem is that it could have been so much better.

Opportunity Village's Magical Forest
While we're sleeping off the rigors of overstuffing ourselves from Tom Turkey and his trimmings from Thanksgiving, big-name stars are keeping the entertainment scene wide awake, and everywhere you turn, snowflake lights are flickering brightly. The holidays are definitely here, and Black Friday becomes a massive and bizarre attraction in its own right.
Sage and funnyman Bill Cosby mixes humor and advice at Treasure Island, and Andrea Bocelli soars with his songs at MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Delta Blues (180 gram pressing with download)
LP (Item 617221) Arhoolie, 1964 — Condition: New Copy
Delta blues, recorded right near their source – an early Mississippi recording by Arhoolie Records – one that captures Mississippi Fred McDowell at his best! Fred's mostly on acoustic guitar, alongside his tremendous vocals – really stretched-out, well-inflected lyrics that could well stand enough on their own – but a few tracks feature a spare electric, sounding almost equally rootsy! Mrs McDowell sings on one track – and titles include "Black Minnie", "Fred's Worried Life Blues", "61 Highway", "I Heard Somebody Call", "My Trouble Blues", and "That's Alright". (Super-heavy pressing – just like an original – and with a bonus download card too!) © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama isn't on the ballot. Neither are all members of Congress, nor most governors.
But to varying degrees, the outcome of a few disparate elections Tuesday could provide clues about how people — particularly independents, who typically determine a winner — feel about their country, their president and the party in power one year after Democrats won the White House.
The results also could provide important lessons for Democrats and Republicans a year before the first major electoral test of Obama's strength: 2010, when there are 37 races for governor, at least 36 in the Senate and all 435 in the House.
This year, Virginia and New Jersey are choosing governors, voters in upstate New York and northern California are deciding who should fill two vacant congressional seats, and New York City and Atlanta are picking mayors. Maine will vote on whether to permit gay marriage while Ohio will choose whether to allow casinos.
To be sure, these races are hardly bellwethers; people are voting on local issues and personalities. Most voters in Virginia and New Jersey, for example, say their like or dislike of Obama isn't what will drive their decision. Still, national forces such as the recession are having an effect.
This much is clear: Tuesday will give a picture of public attitudes in certain places and measure which party has energy on its side heading into a high-stakes election year. Some questions will be at least answered partially.
Among them: Did Obama's campaigning in Virginia and New Jersey persuade the diverse voting coalition that lifted him to victory in 2008 to turn out for Democratic candidates in 2009? Did fickle independents stick with the Democratic Party? Did the out-of-power GOP overcome fissures within its ranks to find a winning strategy?
The answers to those questions and more will provide hints about the nation's possible political future and shape the actions of Democrats and Republicans heading into 2010.
Here's what was at stake onTuesday:
Obama's 2008 Coalition:
Does Obama have coattails?
The president won by cobbling together new voters from traditional Democratic base demographics, particularly blacks, youth and Hispanics, along with disaffected Republicans and self-identified independents nationwide and in traditionally GOP-leaning states such as Virginia.
The unknown is whether those voters will stay with Democrats or turn out at all if Obama isn't on the ballot.
Both embattled Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine in New Jersey and Democratic candidate R. Creigh Deeds in Virginia desperately need party loyalists and Obama 2008 voters to swamp the polls.
Corzine's challenge is complicated by independent Chris Daggett, who's siphoning away votes in the three-way contest that includes Republican Chris Christie.
In Virginia, Deeds is trailing Republican Bob McDonnell in polls largely because independents are tilting away from the Democrat. So the voters Obama lured into the electorate become even more important.
Obama went in big in both states, campaigning on the Democrats' behalf and allowing his image to be used in TV ads for them, linking himself to their fate.
He didn't really have a choice. The Democratic base would have chafed at the party standard-bearer turning his back on the rank and file, and Obama's influence will be questioned regardless of whether Democrats win or lose the races.
How do they feel?
Independents always have heft, but frustration across the country with both Republicans and Democrats is adding to it. How that anger manifests itself could signal anti-incumbent sentiment among a group that leaned left last year. Do independents stay home? Do they vote against the party in power?
Or, in New Jersey, do they vote for a third-party candidate trying to capitalize on the disillusionment? Can Daggett harness people's bitterness or will he become a typical spoiler because of financial and organizational deficiencies?
Regardless, Democrats and Republicans almost certainly will have to revamp their strategies to ensure they're attracting both independents and base voters next fall — or risk repeats of 2009's three-way races.
Virginia may offer the best measure of independent voters' sentiments.
This longtime Republican stronghold has become a new swing state in presidential elections largely because of the swiftly growing far-flung suburbs outside Washington that are filled with independent-minded voters. Obama targeted such areas to become the first Democrat to win the state since 1964.
New Jersey historically has been a Democratic-leaning state in White House races, and Obama has stronger ratings in the state than in Virginia. Yet, in New Jersey, too, independents' behavior will be critical given Daggett's candidacy.
The GOP:
Can Republicans win again?
For decades, Virginia and New Jersey have chosen for governor the party that's not in the White House. So Democrats say Republicans should win both.
But Democrats control the White House, Congress and the governor's mansions in both states. So a Democratic loss in either state will be a setback. And one or more victories will be heartening to a GOP that lost its grip on Congress and the White House in back-to-back elections.
Look to Virginia to see how Republicans may try to rebound next fall.
If McDonnell wins, it will be partly because he focused on pocketbook issues rather than emphasizing social issues even though he's a conservative and Deeds attacked him as outside of the mainstream.
This may be the take away: the economy trumps all. Social conservatives get on board.
Conversely, a special election in New York's 23rd Congressional District already has provided a troubling lesson for the GOP. The race underscored a deep schism between the Republican Party and its conservative base.
The party divided between GOP candidate Dierdre Scozzafava, who supports abortion rights and gay marriage, and Doug Hoffman, the Conservative Party candidate. That split threatened to give Democrat Bill Owens the win. Then, trailing badly in polls, Scozzafava bowed out Saturday, and the GOP establishment swung behind Hoffman as it looked to ensure a Republican victory in the longtime GOP district.
In that case, this is the take away: the GOP still isn't unified — no matter the Tuesday scorecard.

There's a first time for everything.
And the Havre Blue Pony boys' tennis team had waited a long time for this first time.
"Hopefully, it won't be the last," Havre head coach Sam Dierman said. "The boys have been outstanding all year. They got what they deserved."
The Ponies claimed their first-ever State A tennis title, while the Pony girls finished second, the highest finish that they have ever enjoyed.
"Overall, it was a remarkable finish to a season," Dierman said.
The boys finished with 28 points, two ahead of Miles City, who finished the tournament with 26 points. Bigfork and Hamilton tied with 19.
The girls finished with 18 points and were outdistanced by two-time defending champion Livingston, who won with 41 points. Stevensville placed third with 13 points.
No. 1 boys' singles' player Kellen Malone won his second-straight individual gold.
"I'm the only one that's ever done it at Havre High School and that feels pretty good to me," Malone said. "It was a dream come true."
The senior was the first Blue Pony to win back-to-back state individual titles.
"Kellen capped off an outstanding career," Dierman said. "He will be impossible to replace."
Malone went 4-0, defeating Sean O'Daniels of Miles City 7-5, 6-1 in the championship match.
"I thought it was a lot harder than it was last year," Malone said about his back-to-back state titles. "Everybody was after me and there was a lot of pressure to win."
Malone cited the championship match against O'Daniels as the most difficult. The two met last season in the semifinal match, with Malone coming out on top.
"He was tougher this year," Malone said. "He was stronger. He's got a better serve and he just gets everything back. He covers the court really well and he had a lot of long points."
However, Malone's seasoned forehand kept O'Daniels in check.
"I controlled most of the points with my forehand," Malone said. "It was definitely the key to winning."
Malone, who is looking at playing tennis at either MSU-Billings, Eastern Washington, or St. Mary's University in Minnesota, said the greatest accomplishment was the team title.
"It feels pretty good to be on it when you're a senior," Malone said. "We always wanted to be state champions and it feels pretty good. I thought that was the top accomplishment."
During the past 10 years, the Ponies have placed second three times, third twice, and fifth three times.
"We had taken second place a few times and always blew it," Malone said. "It was a relief to finally win one. It felt good."
Malone credited coaches Dierman, Nate Dorcheus, and Sarah Keller for the Ponies' success.
"Without them, I don't think it would have been possible," Malone said. "They helped us out when we were down. They got our heads up. That's pretty much what won it for us was our coaches. I give them a lot of credit for that."
The No. 1 girls' singles' player Teri Sherrill claimed her first-ever individual state crown. The senior was the first Blue Pony girl to ever be crowned state champion.
"Teri's hard work paid off," Dierman said. "She was incredible. Her determination would not allow her to accept defeat. She not only defeated the defending state champion in the semifinals, but she also defeated the girl who finished in second place (last season). As with Kellen, she is impossible to replace."
In doubles' action, senior Nick Heninger and sophomore Seth Maristuen placed third.
"Nick was so determined," Dierman said. "He gave up his singles game to play doubles with Seth so that the team would be stronger. It worked. His display of unselfishness is why we won the state championship. Seth will only improve and set a lot of records at Havre High School."
The two went 4-5 at the tournament, losing to Palmer and Sampson of Glendive in the semifinals.
However, they came back to defeat Sebastian Travis and Bud Kauffman 6-3, 5-7, 6-2 of Stevensville for third place.
In singles' play, sophomore Terrance Wells and freshman Cody McLain and, in doubles' play, the freshmen duo of Jeremy Heninger and Tyler Vincent each won one point. Those additional three points put the Ponies over the hump to edge Miles City for the title.
Wells and McLain each went 1-2 at state.
"Without their contributions, we would not have been state champions," Dierman said. "They will be back next year and be bigger contributors."
Malone agreed with his head coach.
"It was our freshman and sophomores Cody, Terrance, Jeremy, and Tyler they got three crucial points for us," Malone said. "If one of them would have not won a match, we would have lost. They were the core players who did it for us. Me and Nick (Heninger) and Seth (Maristuen) we were supposed to go a long way," Malone said. "Those four really did it for us. Without them, we wouldn't have done it. I think that the boys winning state is a lot bigger than me winning state two times in a row. The first state (team) title is definitely the biggest accomplishment I've ever made."
The doubles' team of Tyler Croft and Levi LaPrath did not win any matches at state.
"Levi finished a very good career at Havre High School," Dierman said about the senior. "Tyler will be back next year and will only get better."
The Park High Rangers claimed three of the top four doubles' spots to claim their second-straight state championship.
"I knew Livingston would take first," Dierman said. "I figured if they took away enough points from everyone, we would have a chance to sneak in. We didn't just sneak in, we grabbed that second place trophy."
Sherrill led the attack, going 4-0 at the tournament. She defeated Marie Woltanski of Stevensville 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 in the championship match.
"Personally, I didn't really have a reaction," Sherrill said. "I was just like, Wow.' I was kind of shocked in a way. I knew that it, that day, had to be now or never. After all the years of hard work and, in one day, it's over. It was pretty exciting. I had all my family there and there was no better time to do it."
Sherrill, who defeated not only last year's state champion, but also last year's runner-up finisher, said she might have been a surprise at the tournament.
"They knew about me, but I think they expected to play each other again," Sherrill said. "They weren't really expecting me to do what I did."
Patience proved to be the key to beating Woltanski in the final match.
"She likes to hit and make me make a mistake," Sherrill said. "I had to play the game smart."
Sherrill finished in the top 12 at state her freshman year and in the top eight her sophomore year. The lack of improvement between the two years drove her to work harder to achieve this goal during her senior season.
"There wasn't much improvement," Sherrill said about the finishes her first two years of high school competition. "Dierman was so mad at me. He gave me the biggest lecture. He told me that I had to put in the work. Every day he told me to do this extra stuff. I kind of followed what he said. I followed it and it's been unbelievable. I wouldn't have done anything without him pushing me."
Sherrill is currently in Cheney, Wash., visiting Eastern Washington University with a chance to play tennis.
"The only way you're going to win is if you do extra stuff and play," Sherrill said. "Thanks to Dierman, Kellen, and my dad because they were always there to work with. They were always there to hit with."
The doubles' team of Kirsten Kuka and Tiffany Shrauger went 2-2 at the tournament.
"The positive things that these two girls did over their careers in tennis is amazing," Dierman said about the seniors. "They've been outstanding leaders throughout their high school careers. I can't say enough about them except they will be sorely missed."
Crystal Heggen, a senior, went 0-2 at state.
"Crystal was fabulous this year," Dierman said. "Her work ethic every day in practice paid off. She will be hard to replace."

Ladies and Gentlemens…
Step right up! This post will be a life changing experience. From now on… till your ultimate demise… you will, I trust, be playing a game called "Your Team."
Here's the I-dizzle:
Katy Perry: "Ur Team!" (points too… —>)
Then Skeet goes… "Oh GOOD one…"…waits… and then points out "Your Team!"
Then I come back with: "Ahhh touche… but this guy is SO your team:"
Skeet retorts with a whammy: "Okay, you wanna play? All of those freak show people that work out front of the Chinese Gruman Theatre… YOUR TEAM"
I ultimately end it with… "Aight..dats cool..but… YOUR TEAM!"
Look… The idea of the game is that in a parallel universe each person's team will one day join forces with their respective (usually ungrateful) team captains and play against each others teams in a round of volleyball… probably, most def naked.
The idea is to put the most retarded looking people on each others team.
Once I had someone select all of Vine Street (hoe Hollywood) for my team… BUT, also have I dished out "Burning Man and all the naked hippies that go… YOUR TEAM."
It's really about paying attention to your surroundings…
Usually I stick to people being selected… but sometimes the selected involves groups of people and stupid objects… I would start from the beginning and work your way up… watch your friends burn with hate for you and the team you choose them.
what it do, I sit on you.

Facebook Shares Hit $22 After Search Engine Announcement
Finally, a bit of good news for Facebook, Zuckerberg and the company's investors. Shortly after the embattled CEO spoke at TechCrunch Disrupt event recently about Facebook's intent to enter the search market, investors latch onto the news and had a bit of enthusiasm about the stock.
The stock jumped from $19.46 to $22 on the news and for many who's been watching the stock slide, the $2.54 gain was a breath of fresh air. Just a few weeks ago analysts were predicting that Facebook's share price will dip below the $15 a share mark. Needless to say this would have been a disaster and so it seems the announcement of intent to enter the search market is part plan, part PR stunt.
Whatever the case, Facebook search is leaving a lot of people excited about the future of the search market. Google of course is Facebook's biggest competitor but Zuckerberg feels the way in which Facebook will approach search will be radical and a welcome change: "search engines are really evolving to give you a set of answers, not just 'type in something and show me some relevant stuff', but 'I have this specific question, answer this question for me'."
This 'new approach' to search will no doubt be interesting and if Facebook can pull it off, it will give searchers a fresh way of solving their problems using search. Now all Zuckerberg and co has to do is roll out a timeline for implementation. That will really get the stock price rising again.

Ways To Look For Reliable And Affordable Doctors
With every person struggling to make ends meet in today's economic climate, discovering affordable doctors for your family members is crucial. Picking the wrong doctor could possibly suggest hundreds or even lots of bucks in additional medical expenditures, something that really few individuals can easily manage nowadays. Before you also start your search for affordable doctors, you have to consider your very own financial resources. Every person has a different interpretation of exactly what is "affordable".
When identifying exactly what you can easily pay for, you need to consider your whole finances and identify exactly how much cash can easily asign to medical costs. As a part of this spending plan you must call your insurance company and get a listing of exactly what specialists they cover in your location. Also talk with them exactly what kinds of protection they deliver and get a precise summary of your advantages, featuring any type of copays or deductibles.
If you have no insurance, try getting in touch with the local Oahu, HI hospital or health organization to inquire about any type of doctors in your location who might offer markdowns or payment support for individuals who are uninsured. Understanding exactly what fees you are accountable for, especially if you have to go in for routine therapies or check-ups is very important when organizing both your short term and long term finances.
If you do not know where to begin searching for affordable doctors try beginning with the national practitioner database. As soon as you have some names, give the state medical board a telephone call to examine that their doctor's permit is valid and to see if they have ever before encountered disciplinary action throughout their time practicing.
When you have a list of specialists, check to see exactly how close their workplaces are located to your house. While traveling a greater distance for much better therapy is not a bad thing, a nearer physician can conserve you travel time and cash, in addition to enabling simple accessibility to your specialist in case of unexpected emergencies.
Do not be scared to call different specialists and shop around. You will certainly be forming a long term relationship with them, and they will certainly be dealing with you one on one to sustain your health and the health of your household. Guaranteeing that you and your family members feel entirely comfy with your specialist and have the ability to speak with them about any type of problems or worries is merely as crucial as discovering affordable doctors.

It's July already, and plants are growing like there's no tomorrow. The hummingbirds are my constant companions in the garden, and the resident deer population comes by daily. There are two spotted fawns who now accompany their mother, along with a couple of her sisters. Life is good.
I see the fawns sampling plants that the older deer try. There are native plants that are poisonous for us, but only some of them are avoided by deer. It got me thinking: How do deer eat poisonous plants without apparent ill affect?
Deer are browsers. They thrive on a mixed diet. You've seen them eat a few roses, then saunter over to the abutilon and then mosey on to the daylily flowers.
Deer will eat almost anything, even plants with a strong scent, like catmint, lavender and thyme, when they are hungry or need water. They can even eat a few bites of various toxic plants, according to Tom Hanley, a wildlife biologist with the Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station.
"There seems to be threshold levels for the toxicity of different plants, and as long as deer eat below that threshold, they're OK," Hanley said.
Plant toxicity varies with the time of year, too, and flowers may be less toxic than leaves or roots. They just mix it up.
That explains the eating habits of deer, but what about us?
Many of us include native plants in our landscapes to attract wildlife and save water and resources. But some of them can be poisonous.
Here are some common native plants that you should be aware of if you have small children because of toxicity. This list comes from Borstein, Foss and O'Brien's "California Native Plants for the Garden."
- Coffeeberry: leaves, berries and bark
- California buckeye: all parts (poisonous to bees, too)
- Western azalea: all parts
- Elderberry: all parts except ripe berries and fruit
- Solanum: all parts
- Snowberry: berries
- California buttercup: juice of the plant
- Berberis: roots and leaves
- Prunus (cherry): seeds
- California poppy: all parts
- Lupine (annual): seeds, fresh leaves and stems.
Mostly, though, native plants make great additions to the garden. They tend to be well behaved and are rarely invasive. Birds and butterflies rely on them for food, shelter and nesting. And, best of all, they are beautiful.
When I'm designing with native plants, I find the following are fairly safe around deer. They are not perfectly safe at all times of the year, but they are usually avoided.
- California sagebrush (Artemisia)
- Wild ginger (Asarum)
- Dwarf coyote brush (Baccharis)
- 'Julia Phelps' ceanothus
- California buckwheat (Eriogonum)
- Douglas iris
- Sticky monkey flower (Mimulus auritanicus)
- Coyote mint (Monardella)
- Fuchsia-flowering gooseberry (Ribes speciosum)
- Salvia
Enjoy your garden. Let the deer browse elsewhere, and be aware of plants that might be toxic to children.

A Suitable Boy is a book that explores the depth of the human heart through one mother's search for a suitable partner for her daughter.
A Suitable Boy is a story set in a newly-independent India, against the backdrop of a colorful and multi-ethnic society. It spans a duration of eighteen months or so, and follows the intertwined lives of four huge families.
The protagonist is Lata, a 19-year-old college girl. Her mother, Mrs. Rupa Mehra, is on a mission to find the right groom for her. Mrs. Mehra's choice of a suitable partner for Lata collides with Lata's own vision of her ideal match.
As it turns out, there are three main suitors in the running - Amit, Haresh, and Kabir. Mrs. Mehra and her son Arun, both characterized by their strong personalities, try their best to influence Lata's choice of suitor, but Lata is just as determined to have her own way.
While the novel is fundamentally a love story, it brings together several other compelling stories about a multitude of characters. The book is divided into 19 parts. Each part reveals the plot from a different perspective, while firmly holding on to the threads of the primary storyline.
Opening with a setting at Brahmapur, the capital of a fictional province named Purva Pradesh, the story takes the readers through various Indian cities including Kanpur, Delhi, and Lucknow. It weaves a rich tapestry of themes and characters, exploring issues like land reforms, the Indian caste-system, Hindu-Muslim strife, and complex family relationships. Above all, it delves into the vast range of human emotions, from happiness to sadness, and from love to hatred.
A Suitable Boy was first published in 1993. It garnered high critical acclaim for its remarkable exploration of a diverse range of subjects and its intuitive grasp on the nature of the human heart. The book went on to win the WH Smith Literary Award (1994) and the Commonwealth Writer's Prize for Best Book (1994). This particular edition of the book is a 2000 reprint.

I first read this book when I was in class 8, then in class 12, then in college and now when I am 24.
It meant different things to me at all ages.
A great book which if you have the patience to read, will show you what an Indian family is like .
Set in the times of post-partition India, it takes you through the life of Lata and how everything comes together to find a suitable boy for her.
Awaiting eagerly for Vikram Seth's A Suitable Girl.
Let not the size of the book let you down. The book is perhaps not supposed to be read over a fortnight. I just like many of the other readers read it over a expended period of 3 months - few pages at a time. It was always a joy to keep coming back to the book whenever I found time.
One would just wonder at the research put in by the author - one of the finest in English literature today. To weave such a rich story requires a in-depth study of diverse fields such as politics, fine arts and literature. And in no place has detail been spared. As has been said in some reviews, it is difficult to believe the author is one person - Vikram Seth. The author makes the scene pop right out of the book.
The characters are so masterly woven that they remain fresh in one's mind even after you finish the book. I would not give any spoiler alerts but would like to add that the last 100-150 pages just bring up the excellent climax to this tome.
One of the best fiction I have read.
Thanks Flipkart for the excellent service.
A masterpiece. Set in post-independence, post-partition India, the novel vividly follows the story of four intertwined families over a period of 18 months as a mother searches for a suitable boy to marry her daughter. It takes us into the richly imagined world of large extended multi cultured families and weaves an accurate and compulsively readable tale of their lives and loves. What joys of excellent storytelling....
The story is so engrossing, each character so completely developed and believable, that is it hard to move on once you turn the last page. I secretly wished that the novel never ends.
The characters were so real, that you miss them as if they were a part of your life. An absolute masterpiece of prose.
Basically a story of a mother searching a suitable boy to marry her daughter.
Spun to this main story are a lot of social scenarios. The pathos of muslim women and the conserved life in the muslim society.
Then there is a whole act about the Zamindari Abolition Law. Don't be scared-it's not a lesson in law as it sounds!
Ghazals make rounds as life takes ups and downs with the characters.
By the time it's ending you would agree like me with the Observer's review about it:
"As with all the great books one feels only dismay as the pages on the right of the tome start thinning out"
This book was one of the best books I have read. I am a slow reader taking all the time to savour the moments in the story and this book gave me many. I lived the characters for more than 4 months. A good book makes you laugh and cry along with it and this is just that. I felt like an invisible extra character in the lives of the character. If only one is very patient they can have 1500 pages of bliss. Thoroughly enjoyed patiently and now impatiently waiting for the Suitable girl.
This book might seem a little intimidating considering the 600 + pages, but the jewels inside, the master storytelling and the...

Czech Republic
Fuksa Robert
Transcarpathian Ukraine, formerly the Upper Hungarian Lands within the Austro-Hungarian Empire, became a part of the Czechoslovak Republic after World War I. Twenty years later the union split up; nevertheless, even its short existence initiated cordial and profound relations between the two countries. About 35,000 Czechs, Moravians and Silesians lived in the region in the early 1930s. As a result of the Munich treaty, the southern part of the Sub-Carpathian Region passed over to Hungary. With another treaty - that of July 29, 1945 - Czechoslovakia acknowledged the fact that Sub-Carpathian Ukraine had been annexed by the Soviet Union. What memories of Czechoslovakia do the locals have? What do their grandsons, seeking work in the Czech Republic, think about us? Can they speak Czech? Are there still traces of Czech buildings and infrastructure?
Still Shooting

The Children of the Moment - II. The Boys from Torysky
The natives of an eastern-Slovak Roma community reflect on their childhoods, on traditional Roma life and craftsmanship. Thirty years ago they left Slovakia and settled in Brno (Czech Republic). Although they are today permanent resident of Brno, we can still find traces of their origins - of the village of Torysky, which is permeated by Slovak-Ruthenian culture with Roma elements.
Friends Through Life and Death
The story of American aviators, shot down in an airfight on December 17, 1944 at the village of Troubky in Moravia. the second pilot Edmund A. Kasold, jr. and navigator Thomas W. Qualman survived and tried to escape. With the help of the fearless local people, who risked their lives on a daily basis, they set out on the adventurous wanderings.

my grandfather has taken a sudden turn for the worse. it's times like these i wish i had spent more time with him (and learned spanish to better communicate with him). :(
so you can learn as much as you can and spend some quality time w/ him. I never got that w/ either of my grandparents. I also know how tough it is to watch a parent and grandparent get sick going through that. if you need to talk, let me know.
