As I continue to write this blog daily, I am aware that a few themes emerge regularly: exercise, weight, body image, new treatment or study information, and diet/complementary therapies. Here is another entry about herbs and supplements and other things you might be using or considering. As always, the bottom line is that most of these things have not been tested; we have no idea whether there are potentially negative interactions between them and chemotherapy or hormonal therapy, and it is really important to speak with your doctor about anything you are taking. Ideally, you would also tell your doctor if you are using acupuncture or massage or Reiki, but, frankly, those "exterior" treatments are not going to mess with your chemo, so it is probably less important to discuss. The primary reason that I hope you mention any use of other treatments is to educate your doctor about the possibilities and any value that you are finding.

About Dietary and Herbal Supplements
Last Updated: May 24, 2010
This section has been reviewed and approved by the Cancer.Net Editorial Board, 05/10
Key messages:
It's important to be an informed consumer before taking dietary and herbal supplements.
Talk with your doctor to learn about possible bene?ts and risks, interactions with current cancer treatments, side effects, and other considerations.
People living with cancer may consider taking dietary and herbal supplements as a way to boost health, improve nutrition, or reduce treatment side effects. It is important to discuss the possible bene?ts and risks of speci?c supplements with your doctor before taking them.
Types of supplements
Dietary supplements. These products have one or more dietary ingredients—including vitamins, minerals, herbs, enzymes, amino acids, and hormones—that people may decide to add to their regular diet. Dietary supplements can be bought without a prescription in pharmacies, grocery stores, and health food stores as a pill, capsule, tablet, liquid, or powder.
Herbal supplements or botanicals. These products—including tablets, capsules, powders, and tea bags—are dietary supplements that contain plants or ingredients from plants.
Supplements as complementary and alternative medicine
Supplements are considered part of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), a diverse group of treatments, techniques, and products that are not considered conventional medicine. A conventional treatment has been scienti?cally tested, found to be safe and effective, and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Supplements can be used as either complementary medicine or alternative medicine. Learn more about the de?nitions of complementary medicine and alternative medicine.
For example, if someone takes an herbal supplement to help reduce nausea during chemotherapy, it is considered a complementary therapy. Many supplements can be safely used with a doctor's guidance to manage side effects of conventional treatment or to improve a patient's physical or emotional well-being.
Meanwhile, if someone takes large doses of that same herbal supplement in an effort to cure the cancer, rather than undergoing chemotherapy, it is considered an alternative therapy. Claims that supplements can cure cancer have not been proven, and some supplements can be harmful to a person's health.
Evaluating the safety of supplements
It can be dif?cult to determine the safety and effectiveness of dietary supplements. Information about dietary supplements is often based on anecdotal evidence (people's personal observations) instead of scienti?c studies. People commonly believe that, because herbs and other supplements are "natural" and have been used for centuries for medicinal purposes, they are safe. However, safety varies depending on the dietary supplement's ingredients, dose, preparation, and effect on the body.
The FDA regulates dietary supplements differently than prescription or over-the-counter medications; it does not approve dietary supplements as safe and effective before they are sold. The FDA can only claim that a supplement is unsafe after consumers have reported problems with it. Thus, the degree of quality control depends on the manufacturer, the supplier, and others in the supplement's production process.
It is important to note that claims made on supplement labels can be confusing. The FDA allows dietary supplements labels to include one of three types of claims: a health claim (which describes an FDA-approved link between a food, food component, or dietary supplement and a disease or health- related condition), a nutrient content claim (which describes the level of a nutrient or dietary substance contained in the product), and a structural or functional claim (which describes how a dietary ingredient is
intended to affect the body's structure or function). Product labels with a structural or functional claim must also include a disclaimer that reads, "This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease." In other words, the claim probably has not been rigorously tested and may not be true.
People undergoing cancer treatment must be extremely cautious about the safety of dietary supplements because some can interfere with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. For instance, the herb kava can interfere with anesthesia for surgery, and some doctors believe that taking antioxidants may decrease the effectiveness of treatment.
Talking with your doctor about supplements
Deciding whether, when, and how to use a dietary supplement to complement standard cancer treatments can be complicated. It's important to be an informed consumer and discuss the choice with a doctor, addressing the following considerations:
Possible bene?ts and risks, depending—in part—on personal medical history
Possible interactions with current cancer treatments
Possible side effects
Dosage levels and length of treatment
New information about the supplement, preferably from clinical trials, rather than personal stories
Learn more about questions to ask when considering CAM.
Warnings about supplements
Some supplements can cause serious side effects—such as high blood pressure, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, fainting, headaches, seizures, heart attack, or stroke—even when taken at the recommended dose. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience any harmful side effects.
Some supplements' ingredients may interfere with prescription and over-the-counter medications you may already be taking. In addition, as stated above, some can interact with cancer treatments.
Certain dietary supplements may be unsafe if you have speci?c health problems, including high blood pressure, diabetes, mental health conditions, or heart disease.
Recommendations if you decide to use supplements
Purchase only single-ingredient products approved by your doctor that clearly show how much each dose contains, and use brands from companies you or your doctor know are reputable. Some supplements have been found to be contaminated with other unlabeled herbs, pesticides, prescription drugs, heavy metals, or other substances.
Look for a certi?cation mark or seal from an independent, third-party organization, such as U.S. Pharmacopoeia, the Good Housekeeping Research Institute, or ConsumerLab.com. Although tests differ, such labels indicate that the supplement has met certain manufacturing standards.
Check the product label to see whether the supplement has been scienti?cally tested. Contact the manufacturer for the test results, and ask your doctor to explain anything that isn't clear.

Most of the time, a febrile seizure occurs the first few hours of a fever, during the initial rise in body temperature.
Giving your child acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) at the first indication of fever will help reduce the fever, but it won't necessarily prevent a seizure. And, there are some caveats to giving medications to young children. Medications won't shorten the course of infection, and low-grade fevers generally don't need treatment.
Additionally, there's always a question of safety when giving medications to young children. For example, aspirin may trigger a rare but potentially fatal disorder known as Reye's syndrome. And, while acetaminophen is generally safe, if you give a child too much, it can cause liver failure. Ask your doctor what medications he or she recommends and what the proper dosage is for your child's age and weight.
Making sure your child drinks plenty of fluids and is appropriately dressed — not overdressed — may help control the fever.
Rarely, prescription medications are used to prevent febrile seizures. Anticonvulsant medications such as phenobarbital and valproic acid (Depakene, Stavzor) can prevent febrile seizures when taken daily. However, the use of preventive medications isn't generally recommended. The risks of side effects — including learning difficulties, sleep problems, irritability, hyperactivity and respiratory difficulties — outweigh any benefit to the child. Doctors rarely prescribe these preventive medications because most febrile seizures are harmless and most children outgrow them without any problems.
Rescue or abortive medications, such as oral diazepam (Valium), lorazepam intensol or clonazepam (Klonopin), are often prescribed. These are administered only with subsequent seizures and generally only if the seizure persists longer than three to five minutes or if there are a cluster of seizures. Rectal diazepam (Diastat) also can reduce the risk of febrile seizures if taken at the time of a fever.

Three fugitive criminals found the city of Mahagonny in the desert, which is really a snare and money pit. Goal: make as much money as possible off other people and gather a fortune without working. Mahagonny wants to be paradise city, a place of unbridled enjoyment, a symbolic caricature of absolute freedom. During the threat of a hurricane there is total anarchy, turning the promised heaven into a living hell. Bertold Brecht translated the text for a wide public; Kurt Weill complemented it with jazzy music and parodies of classics.
Coproduction with Oper Graz.
Attention: due to copyrights Mahagonny's libretto exceptionally cannot be published in the programme.
Language: German. Surtitles: Dutch.
Tickets from € 10.00 to € 95.00
Brecht and Weill were a successful opera duo until both artists had to flee Nazi-Germany. Mahagonny was their last piece together. Sensational Spanish theatre director Calixto Bieito is directing this satire and house conductor Yannis Pouspourikas is in charge of the music. Audience favourites from previous seasons such as: Noemi Nadelmann (Marie from Wozzeck) and Leandra Overmann (Ljubov from Mazeppa) share the stage with newcomer John Daszak, one of Engeland's most versatile tenors, to name but one.

John Daszak's firm, focused tenor was ideal for Jim's night-time railing against the coming of the light before his trail, and Noemi Nadelmann (Jenny) gave a splendid lead to her sextet of whores for the famous 'Alabama Song'. Among the smaller roles, William Berger's Bill made the biggest impression, his fine, tawny baritone a particular delight.

We got a little retail shuffle going on in the strip by Eastern Market. Groovy is moving next door into the first floor of the former Monkeys' Uncle space and a new chocolate shop – J. Chocolatier (formerly located in Georgetown) will be taking over the second floor (just on weekends to start.) J. Chocolatier has been popping up out front of 321 7th St, SE the last few weekends. Their website says:
"J. Chocolatier was founded by Jane Morris in early 2007. Jane always loved baking, but began experimenting with chocolate after being told by her allergist that she was allergic to it. Determined to continue enjoying this perfect food, she began eating smaller quantities of the finest chocolate she could find — making every bite count.
She soon began handcrafting truffles and taking them to friends, family and coworkers. At their urging, she founded J. Chocolatier and sold her chocolates to a few exclusive shops and wine bars in the DC area. In 2009 Jane opened the J. Chocolatier retail boutique in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, DC. Although the retail store was a big hit, the historic building and the long, hot DC Summers didn't mix. So in March 2013 J. Chocolatier moved back online. Currently, J. Chocolatier treats are also available at CocoVa in Adams Morgan, and Veritas Wine Bar in DuPont Circle."

From MPD:
"The Metropolitan Police Department is seeking the public's assistance in identifying and locating a suspect in connection to a first degree sexual assault while armed/kidnapping, which occurred on Saturday, March 1, 2014, at approximately 11:00 am, in the 700 block of Barnes Street, Northeast. The suspect accosted the victim and walked her across a footbridge. The description of the suspect in the sexual assault is similar to two incidents that occurred on Friday, March 7, 2014, and are possibly related.
On Friday, March 7, 2014, at approximately 7:05 am to 7:10 am, a complainant exited the Minnesota Avenue Metro Station tunnel onto the footbridge located in the 4000 block of Minnesota Avenue, NE. She walked past the suspect, who approached her from behind. The suspect told her to follow him and said something to the effect that he would shoot her if she did not follow. The complainant began to follow the suspect. At some point, the complainant stopped following the suspect and she fled in the opposite direction.
At approximately 7:30 am, another complainant was walking near the foot bridge when she was approached by the suspect. The suspect told her to "come here". The complainant didn't respond, and the suspect said it again. The complainant saw an unknown male walking, and she pretended she knew him and walked towards him. The suspect briefly gave chase but the complainant escaped.
The suspect is described as a black male in his 20's, approximately 5'7", slim build, short black hair and a goatee. He was last seen wearing a black skull cap, tan jacket over a gray hooded sweatshirt with a single front pocket, white-washed blue jeans, and black and white Nike Jordan 3 shoes. He may go by the name "Moses."
Anyone who has information regarding this case should call police at 202-727-9099."

We mostly post about guy´s gear, gadgets, stuff, travel... but occasionally, if we come across something truly original we have to post it. Genius idea the Rockid, a rocking chair and cradle in one! While softly swinging the rocking chair and reading a book or singing a lullaby, the baby falls asleep. When the baby outgrows the cradle, it is possible to reconstruct the Rockid into a rocking chair. |

Servings: 12 muffins
Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 35 min
Difficulty: Easy
Nonstick cooking spray
2 cups self-rising flour
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (15-ounce) can sliced peaches, drained and chopped into 1/4-inch pieces
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat the cups of a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, butter, sour cream, sugar, and vanilla. Gently fold in the peaches.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 30 to 35 minutes. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Turn out onto a serving platter and serve immediately or transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, before storing.
Absolutely. Love your recipes!!! I could use help with nutritional values.....keep cookn'. Love all that you do!!

I'm going to make your Peaches and Cream muffins because my family likes peach cobbler and these sound so yummy! Thanks for the recipe and for all the shows I've been able to watch. Paula, I wanted to let you know that "YOU ROCK LADY"!
By SusanScott44 on June 27, 2013
These were so good. Made for a family gathering and everyone loved them. We put peach jam on them. Will make these again.
By donna on June 24, 2013
I made these and they turned out just delicious. These are not your typical sweet cake muffin. The dough is of a biscuit consistency. If you want to add a little sweetness, top with raw sugar crystals and a blueberry, which is what I did. You can also serve them with peach or even blueberry preserves. However, I like that they aren't super sweet. Perfect with a cup of tea first thing in the morning.
By Holley on June 19, 2013
This looked great, but they didn't turn out great. I followed some comments, but the recipe still wasn't right. They weren't sweet, which is what I was expecting for a muffin, but you couldn't taste the peaches at all. 30-35 minutes is way too long to bake. I baked mine for 25 minutes and they were very brown, but I questioned if the center of the muffin was baked. Definitely need to rework this recipe, Paula.

These were delicious! I made them for a party and they were a huge hit. Here's my blog post about the party: http://notevenclosetomartha.blogspot.com/2013/01/pajama-party.html
By Amber Armani on January 22, 2013
I figured out a way to make these muffins work; cream together butter and sugar, add sour cream and one egg, vanilla, then add flour. (You can make your own self rising flour with 3/4 cup flour, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 tsp baking soda). Fill muffin tins 3/4" full, bake for 30-35 mins as the recipe states. Adding the egg, creaming the butter and sugar first help immensely! I can't imagine why the original says to throw it all together in one big greasy lump!
By Heather on August 30, 2012
May I use fresh peaches instead of canned for the Peaches and Cream Muffins? Thank you.

I just made a lighter version of these muffins, using light margarine, fruit cocktail, fat free sour cream, and the sugar substitute. They were yummy.
By linda spence on March 12, 2012
what a waste of time! These were awful....greasy and dense, not sweet enough.
By Christi on March 04, 2012
Don't waste your time....these are terrible
By Lori on March 03, 2012
What a waste of good time and food items. I cant believe how bad these tast and that they are missing something. Wish I had read the reviews before making these. WHAT IN THE WORLD IS WRONG WITH THIS ?????????????
By Earla on February 23, 2012
These were horrible. The batter was so thick I could barely mix it. Added milk to it, but that still didn't work. There has to be something missing in this recipe. They were oily, no taste, flat and pale looking. Anyone who has had success with this, please post what you did.
By Sandy on December 25, 2011
I tried these this morning. I agree with many of the comments. They were dense, oily and not a lot of flavor. I was disappointed.
By Jennifer Grenz on April 22, 2011
These didnt last a day at my house they are so gooooooood
By Mary Grace Marshall on April 09, 2011
Tried the muffins and was disappointed. I used regular(salted) butter instead of unsalted. Did that make a difference? Is the 1/4 cup of sugar correct?

Ten things I hate about gifts: shopping, choosing, wrapping, posting, forgetting, worrying they cost too much or they don't cost enough, giving (what if they hate it?), receiving (what if I hate it, but have to pretend I don't?) and – the worst – opening something from someone you love and feeling as if they don't know you at all.
I should be a terrific gift giver. I see things I'd love all the time. And I'm always stashing recycled ribbons and baubly bits in the hope of having a Martha Stewart moment.
But as the occasions that demand a gift proliferate – Valentine's, baby showers, divorce parties – I become more Grinch-like or, as my husband puts it, "meaner than a mouse's turd". He's justified: I did give him cutlery once. But, for several years, he gave me cookbooks until, one exhausted Christmas morning, I snapped: "If you want to eat Nigella Lawson's food, then you should've bloody married her."
It's not my McMollard tendencies that have caused my shopping mall malaise. Rather, it's the hollow nature of this acquisitiveness that eats like a fattened rat through our purses and our principles. We're all stuffed with stuff.
Some, such as my darling friend Sarah, are gifted at gifting. Opening her jiffy bags from the UK is akin to receiving a scoop of her: a Union Jack covered notebook full of recipes, Benefit's mango-tinted lip and cheek stain.
The pressure to give something equally thoughtful led me to suggest we abandon presents. What, with the cost of post. "The fact we're so far apart makes it all the more important," she said quietly and quite rightly.
My youngest brother gets it. "Ange," he said last year, "presents are not your language of love." There are, he explained, five ways people show love: gifts, acts of service, words of affirmation, quality time and touch.
All five languages have a common element: generosity. And surely that's what really matters. It's what Dickens meant when he wrote Christmas was the only time when people "open their shut-up hearts freely".
There are ways to be generous that don't require wrapping paper. Last week my stylish friend Marina popped into a shop to browse and found a frazzled mum desperately trying to find a new outfit. She set to suggesting tops, dresses, a necklace here, bangle there, while the shop assistant held the baby. "I'd never met her before, but you know what it's like with a newborn," she told me later.
Likewise, a colleague has recently shown me enormous generosity. When I thanked her, she replied: "Success isn't a finite commodity. There's more than enough to go around."
For my friend Kate, who hosts Jailbreak, a radio program for prisoners, working on Christmas Day and connecting kids with a mum or dad inside is her way of giving.
Sometimes the best present is just to be present. Play with a toddler while its parents rest. Round up Grandad for a game of 500. Listen to your mum. Really listen.
Among the gifts my husband has given me, a simple handmade card from 12 years ago remains the most precious. As I opened it, hundreds of paper hearts fluttered out. I kept them, occasionally slipping one into a pocket. His, mine, the children's.
"What if Christmas doesn't come from a store?" says Dr Seuss' Grinch. "What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more?"
Most commented
subotic says:
I'll be using a dirty big bottle of rum mixed in with eggnog on Christmas day to do my best to NOT be present.
And I'll be having an extra drink & extra piece of leg ham for Bah coz the bugger couldn't be bothered.
Bah says:
Christmas = sick joke ...
Seriosuly, the day is set aside to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, who also happens to be God almighty of the entire universe and everything in it (like Coles-Myer, SuperCheap Auto, Toys R Us, Bunnings Warehouse, Target, JB Hi Fi and Rebel Sport). Jesus lived as a pauper, hated money and riches, scorned acquisition of wealth, threw traders out of his temple, "den of thieves", blah blah blah yet we "celebrate" the life of Jesus God by buying $450 worth of useless shit, distributing it to other middle class wankers and eating so much food and drinking so much piss we puke by 4pm.
What a sick, sick joke ...
Borderer says:
I have a brother who doesn't get this. He buys gifts and doesn't turn up on the day. Sure, mum and dad like the presents and appreciate them but after 70 years of life they've collected every conceivable knick-knack known to the home shopping network, they just want to see their family. He just doen't get this, though the loss is ultimately his. Parents should be appreciated while you have them and not taken for granted, Christmas is a time that you take the opportunity to show this.
Hermano says:
Half of my extended family does the pick-a-name-from-the-hat-and-buy-one-present sort of thing, with a $30 limit. It's ridiculous. What tends to happen is that we get the list of names, then an email arrives from the person you're buying for with a link to the $30 present they want.
What's the bloody point of that? There's no generosity of spirit, no thoughtfulness. They may as well just pocket the $30 and be done with it.
I don't want any part of it, to be honest. If someone can't think of something that I might like, then why are they buying me a present? And vice-versa: buying someone a gift card just because I have to give a present is demoralising and depressing.
On the other hand, I love sneakily finding out about things my wife might like. Nothing better than seeing her open a present that she had no reason to expect. Even better when it's not at Christmas or a birthday.
Joan Bennett says:
People give material things because they can't give of themselves. If someone gives me produce from their garden, although it could be deemed material, the fact that they spent time nurturing that product means more to me than just going out and buying something no one really needs. Any clown can go out and exchange money for something unnecessary, but it takes a special person to sit and talk about something really deep and important. If people really must spend money on others, why not make a donation to charity in their name? I believe a recent survey said a majority would prefer that to being given an "item".
Robert Smissen Of rural SA says:
In our family only the kids get presents, I LOVE buying/making & giving gifts to my grandkids especially whilst the magic is still there.
stephen says:
Nice photo of Angie opening her presents - but um, that chap, well, has to be your brother, right ?
Alf says:
The giving and receiving of gifts is a frank expression of gratitude that spans all races and all time. Sometimes it is just a case of manners or hospitality, sometimes it is deeper, and expresses emotion such as love or sympathy. Sure it is boring when the process is commercialised and dictated by tradition, but none the less, a bit of thought in selecting a personal gift will go a long way.
Personally, I love both sides of the transaction. All I can say to you Angela is - Bah Humbug.

We are women of many vices. Champagne, french fries, and (obviously) lingerie. We pick our addictions wisely, though. It's no wonder slinky mesh and microfiber, bondage-pin-up panelling, and supreme comfort are habit forming. Frankly, like so many of our favorite vices, this is one habit we don't want to break.

Don't Call For Your Surgeon, Even He Says It's Too Late
This was the scene right before kickoff last Sunday. Remember after "The Indecision," how all the Norv apologists (I'm looking at you, Nick Canepa) said that if the team started winning in the fall that all would be forgiven? Well, once the Chargers shat the bed in New Orleans there was no chance of that. When CBS threw that stat on the screen that we hadn't had a rushing touchdown since Week 5, all I could think is "THAT'S ANOTHER THING THAT'S NORV'S FAULT." I know that the line sucks, that's on AJ. But Norv hasn't tried to establish run much at all. If you're pass protection sucks, you roll the quarterback out. Of course, that would never work for us since Rivers is as mobile as an anvil. If you can't open up any holes, you at least try to get your back the ball in space. I don't know why we even bother with the play action since no one in their right mind respects our running game.
When you have had as many bad second halves as this team, you have to look at the lack of adjustments Norval makes. When Acee was on 1090 on Monday, he was saying that he often vaclillates between blaming Norv and not. Even if you thought Norv was really a genius (and not a guy whose calls can be predicted by any Charger fan), you would have to support a change just based on the fact that it will be three seasons without reaching the postseason. Also, the last three seasons have seen the AFC as the far weaker conference. The AFC West was the worst division in that conference each year. We couldn't even get in under those circumstances.
AJ shouldn't get to pick the next coach. He forced Norv on us and I'm sure pushed for him to get that extension after the '09 regular season. I still remember listening to the Darren Smith show and hearing Darren and Acee wonder aloud what Spanos would do if by some miraculous chance the Chargers imploded again? They did and they still haven't recovered. Yet, Norv is still here.
I can't believe that I still have to remind people of how bad Marty was, either. I never liked Norv, but he won three more playoff games than Schottenheimer. End of discussion.
When I went on the XX1090 site to grab the link of Acee's interview, I saw that this week's poll asked fans whether they even want the Chargers to make the playoffs this season. If you answered no, you push the button next to "Change is needed." If you answered yes, you move your cursor to where it says "I'm a fan no matter what."
What about if you answer to both descriptions? The Legion Of The Lightning Bolt want change because THEY ARE DIEHARD FANS. Justice Leaguers know the only way to improve is ax Norval. AJ shouldn't be allowed to pick another coach at this point. Acee suggested that we fans don't really give Deano enough credit for having balls or caring about winning. However, he also admits that there is some creedence to the perception that he is constantly looking for any justification for NOT making a change. Wow, Kevin, you sound about as definitive as Dean himself.
Remember after Norv and AJ were retained, we were told that AJ was going to be more accessible? Have you seen that side of him? Norv's in-game decisions were going to be more carefully scrutinized. Have you noticed any of that. There was also speculation that our training and conditioning staff were going to under close watch since we seem to have more injuries than most teams. How's that working out, Dean?
Just because we're die hard fans doesn't mean that we want to die with this team. Some might argue that the Chargers will actually be cause of some of their fans' deaths. When my friends and I decided to cancel our trip to the Cleveland game due to the oncoming hurricane, my buddy Jeff mentioned that he didn't want his last moments on earth to be spent saying "I can't believe Ross made me die for the fuckin' Chargers."
He's a Giants fan, but a good enough friend to know how much suffering the Bolts have caused. It was unavoidable for me to have trouble sleeping last Sunday night after yet another loss. I knew that the Bolts would be forever stigmatized by the 4th and 29. But then I remembered that they also blew a 24-0 lead this season and have deserved all the criticism. Ray Rice can utter whatever stupid fucking rhymes he wants, but he couldn't have gained 30 yards against anyone but the Chargers.
Did he make it? Rivers seems to be sure he didn't. But Philip also loves to tell us how Norv hasn't lost the locker room. I feel the same way about both things. I don't give a shit.
I will watch tomorrow's game, but know that a loss will officially put the playoffs out of reach. I will root for a win, but still know that our owner will look at the possibility of 9-7 as a reason to retain Norv. That's the problem and also the reason I wish that Spanos would just sell the team. Fans that I talk to want a Super Bowl. This team has shot itself in the foot every time its had a squad that looked talented enough to make a run. We've gone from a team that used to be unstoppable in December to one that's on life support.
That's a fucking shame and our very own three stooges, Norvy, Dean and AJ are to blame. But we were in the same place last year, as this old rant of mine confirms.
In closing, I'd like to dedicate this installment to my beautiful wife of almost ten years who will turn 38 on Monday. Sammy, you're still the best part of my life and the one that never lets me down. Don't compare youself to the Chargers in that respect. It doesn't do you justice.

89. THE HOSPITAL OF ST. GILES WITHOUT LINCOLN Masters of St. Giles's Hospital Footnotes
This hospital was probably founded some time during the thirteenth century. The name of the original founder is unknown; but some time before February, 1280, Oliver Sutton then dean of Lincoln, assigned the house with its revenues to the support of the vicars choral of the cathedral. (fn. 1) It had been intended for the reception of the poor; and in the fourteenth century Gilbert d'Umfraville, earl of Angus, added something to its endowments in order that servants of the cathedral past work might be admitted there in preference to other applicants. (fn. 2) Richard de Ravenser, archdeacon of Lincoln, to whom the earl had granted the manor of Sturton, ordained that twelve poor ministers and servants of the cathedral might be supported in the hospital, receiving ½d. daily for their food, and 4s. yearly for their clothing, and the dean and chapter confirmed the ordinance in 1384. During Richard's lifetime he was to fill all vacant places; after his death the right reverted to the dean and chapter. (fn. 3)
In 1428 the master of the hospital held one knight's fee and three-eighths of another in Sturton. (fn. 4) But by 1453 the value of the property seems to have diminished, for the warden received permission in that year to collect alms for the support of the hospital. (fn. 5)
The hospital of St. Giles is not mentioned in the chantry certificate; but the chapter acts of Lincoln Cathedral occasionally allude to it as a place of refuge for poor clerks, until the eighteenth century, when it fell into ruins.
Henry Willensi, (fn. 6) occurs 1428

Russia's Internal Affairs No Concern of US – Putin Spokesman
Opposition rally in Moscow (archive)
© RIA Novosti. Ilya PitalevRelated News
MOSCOW, January 25 (RIA Novosti) – The United States has no place in any dialog between Russia's government and opposition movements opposed to President Vladimir Putin's rule, Putin's spokesman has told a US journal.
"The dialog between the Russian government and the opposition cannot be a subject of the bilateral relationship between Moscow and Washington, and in no way can be an issue of [state-to-state] discussion," Dmitry Peskov told The National Interest, a bi-monthly American foreign policy journal, in an interview published on Thursday.
Putin has frequently accused the United States of being behind the unprecedented protests against his rule that broke out in December 2011, while late last year the alleged torture of opposition activist Leonid Razvozzhayev sparked a diplomatic row between the two former Cold War foes.
The United States also slammed last year a Moscow court's decision to jail members of the anti-Putin punk rock group Pussy Riot over a protest in Russia's main Orthodox cathedral. Washington has also expressed concern over the treatment of protest leaders such as Alexei Navalny and Sergei Udaltsov, both whom are facing long jail terms.
But Peskov told the journal Russia would not take into account US concerns over what The National Interest called "the domestic climate inside Russia."
"Those are our domestic affairs, our domestic politics," Peskov said. "We are a democratic country sharing the same values with the whole world, but we are a country that will solve all the problems, domestic and the like, without any interference from abroad."
Peskov also praised what he called Russia's "growing civil society."

- vusi(no title)19:45, 25/01/2013The audacity of the USA has reached levels of insanity that must be responded with fierce means. It is shocking that the USA has no slight respect for Russia which has never enslaved any human on the planet and has the highest standard of human right in the world presently, Russia has no Guantanamo bay concentration camp like the USA, doesn't kill people around the world with drone and so on, I think Russia must cause problem for the USA in Africa to teach them a lesson. Right now the USA/EU gang are keeping millions of Africans under virtual slavery and genocide of our languages and identity while replacing with theirs on top of owning all here while we starve. Africa is fertile ground to topple USA/EU hegemony, Russia teach them a lesson. We in Africa are looking for opportunity to overthrow the insane USA hegemony which is erasing us from earth.

Xavier needs two wins to reach 20 for the season but it has perhaps the toughest remaining schedule of any Big East team as it prepares to visit Georgetown on Saturday morning. The matchup with the Hoyas is one of three road games in the final five for the Musketeers, who also must play at streaking St. John's while facing home contests against nationally ranked foes Creighton and Villanova. Xavier has won three of four and erased a 17-point second-half deficit to beat Georgetown 80-67 on Jan. 15.The Hoyas have dropped two straight in lopsided fashion following a four-game winning streak and also have a rugged closing stretch that includes matchups against Creighton and Villanova to wind up the regular season. The most troubling aspect for Georgetown in its last two losses has been its lack of resistance on defense, giving up 82 points in each defeat. Additionally, a team that led the Big East in defensive field goal percentage allowed both St. John's and Seton Hall to shoot at least 55 percent.TV: 11:30 a.m. ET, Fox Sports 1ABOUT XAVIER (18-8, 8-5 Big East): The Musketeers shot a blistering 64.3 percent and buried 8-of-10 3-pointers in Wednesday's 83-64 rout of DePaul and one of the reasons for the offensive efficiency was Dee Davis. The junior point guard tied a season high with 17 points - including 4-of-5 from long distance - to go along with seven assists and a pair of steals. "Dee's - he's the quarterback. When he goes, we go," forward Justin Martin told reporters after a 22-point effort. At the same times it makes it easier when we get stops on defense. ... Dee's one of the best point guards I've ever played with."ABOUT GEORGETOWN (15-11, 6-8): The Hoyas dug a hole for the second straight game, falling behind by double digits in the first half at Seton Hall on Thursday after allowing St. John's to score the first 15 points in Sunday's loss. Second-leading scorer Markel Brown picked up three first-half fouls, leaving backcourt mate D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera to carry the offensive load with his second 20-point outing in three games. Brown continues to struggle from behind the arc, missing all three attempts Thursday and connecting on only 3-of-21 3-pointers over the last four.TIP-INS1. Martin is coming off back-to-back 20-point games on a combined 12-of-19 shooting.2. Hoyas G Jabril Trawick, who missed the first matchup with Xavier due to injury, has scored in double figures in three straight and four of five games.3. The Musketeers are 14-1 at home but only 3-4 on the road.PREDICTION: Xavier 68, Georgetown 66

Photo: Jeremiah Sullivan Deepak Chopra, co-founder of the Chopra Foundation and author of Spiritual Solutions: Answers to Life's Greatest Challenges, reveals how to find our inner strength.
In an ideal world, the title of this article would be "5 Ways to Feel More Powerful." But as things stand, many people feel powerless, and the social trends that drain personal power only grow stronger. Whether you struggle due to the recession, a controlling spouse, or the anonymity of routine work, it's crucial to find a way to limit that feeling in your day-to-day life.
Before talking about power, let's clarify what power isn't. It isn't a force that you use like a weapon to get your own way. It isn't a suppression of what you don't like about yourself to achieve a perfect ideal that doesn't exist in the first place. It isn't money, status, possessions, or any other material surrogate. There are countless people sitting in the lap of luxury who feel even more powerless than the average person does. This is so because the issues of power are all "in here," where you relate to yourself. Now we can address the five things that help conquer that feeling of powerlessness. 1. Stop giving away your power. Becoming powerless doesn't happen in a single dramatic stroke, like the barbarian hordes breaking down your door and burning your house. It's a process, and for most people, the process is so gradual that they don't notice it. They are more than happy, in fact, to give away their power by degrees. Why? Because being powerless seems like an easy way to be popular, accepted, and protected. Thus you are giving away your power when you please others in order to fit in. Or when you follow the opinions of the crowd. Or when you decide that others matter more than you do. Or when you let someone who seems to have more power take charge of you. It can often seem right—or proper—to sit modestly in the background, holding accepted opinions, living for your children, or letting a controlling spouse run roughshod over you in order to keep the peace. In small and large ways, however, these kinds of decisions reduce your sense of self-worth, and without self-worth, you cannot rid yourself of your powerlessness. 2. Examine why it's "good" to be a victim. Once you start chipping away at your self-worth, it's a short step to becoming a victim. I define being a victim as engaging in "selfless pain." In other words, by telling yourself that you don't really count, you can make the suffering you endure into a kind of virtue, as all martyrs do. It's "good" when you serve a higher spiritual purpose—or so some religion suggest but what if there is no higher purpose? Most victims feel good about worrying all the time, but worry makes you far more vulnerable to bad things in general, since worry is so all-consuming that the mind isn't free and alert enough to tell real threats from imaginary ones. Worry feels like a protection—when it is exactly the opposite. Victims find lots of other "good" reasons for their plight. They are forgiving of an abusive spouse, because forgiveness is considered spiritual. They enable an addict, because tolerance and acceptance of others is equally spiritual. But if you stand back, you'll see that victims in such situations are deliberately bringing suffering upon themselves, which not only confirms their powerlessness, it encourages it to grow and grow. The victim is always being acted upon. There are enough abusers, addicts, rage-aholics, control freaks, and petty tyrants out there to drain the power from anyone who volunteers to play the role of victim. Having given away too much of themselves, the first step for victims is to realize that their role is voluntary. They are not trapped by fate, destiny, or the will of God. Their role is a personal choice, and they can chose differently. Next: Guiding your own evolution |
