Steffi Lewis
07722 875305
Posted by Steffi Lewis on 25/06/2012
I'm lying in my bed at the John Ratcliffe Hospital in Oxford. I've been here for four days and was in MK General over the Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend. I'm a few minutes away from being taken to Radiology for some life saving neuro-surgery ...
a little ditty about death from one of my favourite bands
I've been in hospital for a while now. Some serious headaches had been building over the previous month or so, and when my left eye stopped co-operating with the right one last week, I knew that something had gone seriously wrong in my head and that I desperately needed medical help.
After spending seven hours fighting my way through a barrage of sceptical A&E doctors who just wanted to send me home with some pain killers - thank you Julie for your determination that day - I was finally admitted to the Acute Stroke Unit at MK General and spent the next three days surrounded by screaming geriatrics who had no clue where - or even who - they were.
Every hour of the day or night, I was woken up for blood pressure checks. I think they mostly just wanted to see if I was still alive. With the constant disturbances of the last few days my already high blood pressure was spiking and I felt something pulsing behind my eye with each heart beat. It was getting more and more intense as time went by. I just wanted to hide beneath the covers and cry; I was in so much pain.
Finally, I got a neurology consultation and was told that I most probably had an aneurysm behind my left eye that was pressing on the Third Nerve which had stopped my eye from moving and locked open my pupil. I would be transferred as soon as possible to Oxford for surgery. The benefit of seeing the consultant was that he ordered me to be immediately moved and I was swapped into a quieter bay where the night terrors of my bed mates wouldn't disturb me so much.
I was surrounded by women who were recovering from strokes rather than enduring them - girls with legs and arms that didn't work - who were grateful that they still had their mental faculties and were able to go home soon - albeit in a wheelchair. The word "luck" was mentioned a lot. I was very grateful for some quiet that night and although I was still being woken up every hour, I was able to stay calmer and work on keeping my blood pressure down.
During my entire stay in hospital, that was the only thing I had power over. My world was completely regimented by the nurses. I was woken, I was fed, I was offered tea, I was told when to shower and change my PJs. I didn't have to think about anything at all because I always knew what was about to happen. It was quite cathartic in a weird sort of way and I felt almost child-like again being so out of control.
I realised quite quickly after being admitted that all the stress and worry that had happened since Easter had put me into hyper-tension and brought me to breaking point. How did I know? Because each time I thought about what had happened and how I'd been treated I got a searing spike of pain shooting up my neck and through the back of my head which made me whimper, my temple throb and my eye hurt even more.
And neither could I worry about what was going to happen in the future because the exact same thing happened. How was I going to save my business from collapsing in on itself now I had been completely abandoned? It all had to be pushed from my mind because as the consultant told me "the next stressful event could make your aneurysm explode" which would kill me immediately. He said it was like an over inflated balloon and he was pretty damn serious about me keeping calm because my blood pressure had been hitting 190 over 140 even in the middle of the night.
I became a Zen Mistress purely out of self preservation. I lived from moment to moment, not thinking about the past; not even considering the future. Right up until this moment in Oxford when I'm about to be wheeled off for surgery all I thought about was keeping my blood pressure down and fighting off the sickening realisation that my next breath could actually be my last one.
This was the first time I've ever had to really face my own mortality. It wasn't just a Saturday night ponder with friends about the frailty of the human condition. This was a completely focussed, pin sharp terror that hung in my mind like the Sword of Damocles consuming every moment of my conscious world and waiting for me to worry myself just a touch too much. Oh Goddess, I'd never felt anything like this before. I pray I never will again.
Maybe you think I'm being overly dramatic? If you've ever been so ill that you've felt a hazy darkness lurking in the room with you - just waiting - then you know that I'm not being at all flippant. "Overcome your fear or give up" it whispered to me.
As I lay in my hospital bed crying and clutching my head it would have been comforting to have had a caring hand to hold and to hear some quiet reassurances giving me a reason to stay. It's what I would have done for a close friend who was gravely ill - visiting hours wouldn't have applied to me.
So now we're exactly seven days after I burst into tears in A&E and the overworked on-call Doctors took pity on this gibbering wreck of a girl. The surgeons have been in to see me and have explained what is going to happen. I've been prepared for the operation by the nurses and have signed the waiver documents to indemnify the hospital. I've showered and put on a new gown. I'm feeling a little nauseous but I know that's just nerves.
The porters have arrived now and make a big fuss of me. Again, another regimented procedure carried out a thousand times but they make me smile. I keep breathing calmly as they wheel me down the corridor, into the lift then finally into Radiology where the operation will be performed under the watchful eye of a massive X-Ray machine.
The Anaesthetist greets me with a warm smile and introduces me to the team who will be looking after me. I'm transferred to the operating bed and marvel at the technology in the room - more monitors than the sblogit.com secret underground bunker and numerous machines that go ping! They check my wrist bands to ensure I am who they think I am and ask me a number of questions so we all know why I'm there and that they have the right patient for the right procedure.
They stick an arterial canula in my left wrist. It's uncomfortable. The Anaesthetist says "time for some pain relief ... tell me what you think Steffi" and I feel a warm and comforting calmness spread through my body and into my head. Two months worth of pain just falls away and I suspect that they've filled me full of Morphine. All I can say is "mmmmm, funky drugs .... thanks". He smiles at me and strokes my hair for a while as people continue to fuss around me. "Ok Steffi, here's the anaesthetic. Can you count backwards from ten for me?"
The Zen Mistress has made it to where she needs to be and I know I'm in the best possible hands. The terror that I've been fighting for the past week has finally gone. The hazy darkness that lurked in the corner of my room hasn't followed me in here and at last I can finally relax and let the experts do what they need to do to save my life.
I smile gratefully at him and start counting. "Ten ... nine". I never made it to eight ...

Good news for Gmail and Google Calendar users, you can now download a custom archive of you emails and calendars. Currently the trend is to backup all your data on the cloud, but incase you want to do the reverse thing, Google now allows that. Basically this is useful for exporting your data to other services.
You can customise what you want to archive and download, choose according to labels or specific calendar. This enables you to have control on what you want to export. The data is downloaded in MBOX format.
Google Takeout is the service from Google that enables archiving of your Google products data. There are a over 16 products that Google is supporting right now and Gmail and Google Calendars are the latest addition to the service.
Just a word of caution; if you do not see Gmail or Google Calendar listed on the site, don't panic, Google is rolling out the service for Gmail and Google Calendar gradually.
Some might debate that backing up data offline doesn't make sense when cloud is the safer alternative for storage and why would Google support exporting the data to other services – just for being the good guy? Turns out some people at Google took CEO, Eric Schmidt's words about not being evil evil too seriously.They created 'Data Liberation Front' and work for the freedom of the users. Google Takeout is initiative by the data Liberation Front team to make moving out of Google services easier, should a user choose to do so.
What's the catch? Google still keeps all your data and does not delete them once you have exported it. Also Google Takeout doesn't provide archiving service for Google Search (I think that's a good thing).
So do you want to dine-in or takeout?

The ORCA Centres and Topics
The eleven ORCA Centres will cover 22 topics related to organic agriculture.
Energy Flows
Conversion to organic production reduces farmers' dependence on energy and off-farm inputs and can increase efficiency of energy use. Proper use of manure, green manures, crop rotation, and weeding strategies are critical in organic systems and can provide an energy savings by removing the manufacturing, packaging, and shipping costs associated with synthetic pesticides and nitrogen fertilizers.Organic farming also improves soil organic matter by enhancing fertility through increased nitrogen in the soil and reducing water (and energy) demand by increasing storage of rainfall. Forage production also requires less energy than grain production; for example, production of beef protein on good organic pasture has been found to require half as much energy as grain-fed beef.
Research to document these energy savings and flows throughout organic systems will help farmers and policymakers understand the cost savings associated with organic agriculture, both economically and environmentally. Improving efficiency of moving food from farm to fork can also have trickle down effects such as facilitating local access to foods. Organic research into energy flows is just beginning. There is a gap in research determining the energy savings of organic agriculture.

overwrite modeMost word processors and text editors allow you to choose between two modes: overwrite and insert. In overwrite mode, every character you type is displayed at the cursor position. If a character is already at that position, it is replaced. In insert mode, each character you type is inserted at the cursor position. This means that existing characters are moved over to make room for the new character, but they are not replaced.
Overwrite mode is sometimes called overtype mode.

Big Media's So-Called "Fact-Checkers" Carry Romney's Water on Bain
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Mitt Romney is refusing to answer questions about contacts with his Bain Capital subordinates after he took a partial leave of absence in February 1999 to work on the Winter Olympics. Instead, he's sticking to sweeping denials that he had any role in managing the company as it off-shored jobs and shuttered factories.
Increasingly, Romney's defense relies on self-styled "independent fact-checkers," Brooks Jackson at Annenberg Center's FactCheck.org and the Washington Post's Glenn Kessler, who have issued quarrelsome denunciations of President Barack Obama's campaign for connecting Romney to Bain's activities from 1999 to 2002.
Yet, these "fact-checkers" acknowledge that they are operating with a limited body of facts, i.e., what has so far been made public. In an interview on MSNBC on Monday, Kessler admitted that he had no access to internal information at Bain Capital regarding how often Romney was in touch with his company in those three years.
Nevertheless, Romney repeatedly has cited the two "fact-checkers" as clearing him of allegations from the Obama campaign – and now from a number of news organizations – that a long paper trail exists of Bain Capital reporting Romney's continued involvement with Bain during the three years in question.
To state the obvious, it seems like a contradiction in purpose for "independent fact-checkers" to allow themselves to become accomplices in a politician stonewalling the disclosure of facts that bear directly on his qualifications and integrity. At minimum, it would seem that Jackson and Kessler should suspend their denunciations of the Obama campaign until Romney and Bain clear up the many discrepancies.
On Monday, the New York Times tallied 142 times when Romney's name appears on Bain's securities regulation forms during the three-year period, many listing him as owner, chairman, chief executive officer and the controlling person. Talking Points Memo cited one such form that listed Romney's "principal occupation" as "managing director" of Bain Capital Investors VI Inc., a private equity fund.
Romney also told the Boston Herald in 1999 that he would continue assisting Bain in decisions regarding investments and personnel. However, in TV interviews last Friday, Romney repeated his current mantra that he provided no such input. When pressed on exactly what contacts he actually had, he dodged the questions and referred back to the supportive stories by the two "independent fact-checkers."
'Retroactive' Retirement?
On Sunday, Ed Gillespie, a senior adviser to the Romney campaign, went on CNN to reiterate Romney's position, but added a new twist by claiming that Romney had "retired retroactively" from Bain Capital two years after moving to Salt Lake City – whatever that means.
Ever since he ran for Massachusetts governor in 2002, Romney has sought to distance himself from the results of Bain Capital investments, including some that he engineered before his partial leave of absence in 1999. Some of those investments led to closed factories, painful layoffs and off-shoring of jobs to low-wage countries.
Instead of taking responsibility for those outcomes, Romney has insisted that a bright line existed between his 15 years of hands-on control of the private equity firm and the three years after he agreed to oversee the Winter Olympics games in Salt Lake City.
That attempt to convince voters that there was a "good" Bain Capital under Romney and a "bad" Bain Capital once he left has led to the current confusion and — as far as the Romney campaign is concerned — the helpful intervention of the two "independent fact-checkers." But they acknowledge that they have no inside information about exactly what Romney was telling his subordinates during those years or how often he was in communication with them.

Planned Parenthood of South Central New York will soon be known by a new name. The affiliate is breaking ties with the national Planned Parenthood organization and creating an independent agency. Our Melissa Kakareka has more.
SOUTHERN TIER, N.Y. -- The local Board of Directors has been thinking about splitting from the Planned Parenthood name since 2010. That's the year when the Planned Parenthood Federation of America mandated that all of its affiliates must provide abortions by 2013.
After careful consideration of all of the options, the Board of Directors unanimously voted to make the split Monday night. The reason why isn't an issue of morality, but is really just a matter of resources. There are already abortion services easily available in the community. Planned Parenthood officials feel that their limited resources could be better spent on things such as family planning and STD testing.
"We remain 100 percent committed to ensuring that women have the full range of reproductive options. But we are a small agency with limited resources and we do not want to use our limited resources to duplicate services which are already well provided," said Debra Marcus, Chief Executive Officer.
The new agency will be known as Family Planning of South Central New York. Nothing will change, except the name. The new organization will retain all the same staff and services in all five of its offices.
According to a statement from the national Planned Parenthood Federation's Vice President for Communications, the organization passed this mandate because they want to provide a consistent set of services at all health centers and they say they are committed to making sure abortion services are available at least one health center per Planned Parenthood affiliate within the next couple of years.

Phone Scam Targeting Cedar Falls
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (CBS 2/Fox 28) -- Cedar Falls Police say a new scam is targeting business owners in that city.
Some business owners have already been contacted by a caller claiming to be from MidAmerican Energy. The caller tells the customer that they have not paid an electricity bill and that their service will be disconnected if they do not provide their banking information over the phone.
The caller also claims that they provide disconnection service for Cedar Falls Utilities. Cedar Falls Police remind people to never give out personal information or account numbers over the phone. If someone has a question about their bill, they should contact their service provider directly.

Saturday, 5 May 1979
Beloved Young People,
1. My fatherly and joyful welcome to you, dear boys and girls, who attend the organizations of the Salesians and of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians, gathered here to meet and listen to the Pope, representing also all the children and young people who belong to the religious associations, schools, vocational centres, cultural, recreational and social groups, inspired and directed by the Sons of Don Bosco.
To all of you present here, to all your friends and companions, to all Salesian youth, who for over a century have been continuing their ardent and courageous march along the paths of the world, goes my affectionate greeting, charged with emotion and hopes: you are the hope, the expectation of a more just, more dignified, and more peaceful future. The Pope regards you with intensely promising feelings and good wishes which, through you, are extended to the whole of mankind. I thank you for this grand manifestation of affection and, in return for such irrepressible enthusiasm, address to you just one greeting: Long live Salesian youth!
Faithful to the spirit of Don Bosco, a great saint and outstanding educator, you wish to pay homage to the Successor of Peter, confirming to him the faithfulness of your love and your service, on the occasion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the canonization of Domenico Savio, a boy of the Oratory of Valdocco, the favourite pupil and precious fruit of the work of formation of Mamma Margherita's son.
You are engaged, throughout this year, in a broad series of initiatives, both in the various local centres and on the national scale, to give new and vigorous impetus to youth associations of Christian inspiration and to widen the educational system of Don Bosco, applying its basic criteria, its key-principles, to the requirements of modern times.
You expect from the Pope a word of guidance and encouragement for this renewed youth action in Italy and I am here with you, in the first place, to invoke the wisdom of the Spirit of the Lord on this important initiative, which is so dear to the Church and to her Pastors.
2. The first indication I wish to offer you is an invitation to
optimism, hope, and trust. It is

It is not a question of creating militant expressions deprived of ideal impetus and based on the force of numbers, but of animating real communities, instilled with the spirit of kindness, mutual respect, and service, and above all made compact by the same faith and by one unique hope. The present generation of the young, even when they avail themselves of the comforts offered by the consumer civilization, feel that such prodigality conceals an illusory fascination, and that they cannot stop at the hedonistic experience of materialistic opulence.
You are, therefore, in continual quest—to live it is already to respond to the

Jesus is the Messiah of every age, also of this promising eve of the twenty-first century. He is the Man of hope, the Man who is the cornerstone of humanity. He is the One who reveals and accomplishes in us the divine prophecies of personal and social liberation. He is the Liberator, the Man-God of our salvation. Your youthful commitment of life, in all its expressions, in study and in work, in family and in society, must lead you to recognize inwardly and proclaim that Jesus is he who establishes the value, the joy and the hope of every man. Have the intelligence and the courage—the Church and the Pope ask it of you—to make your lives an acclamation and testimony to Christ our salvation.

Smart phone use shows no social, economic, or cultural biases. I see people of all types texting and thumbing their phones in public. Yesterday I saw a middle aged couple walking the Greensboro Greenway while the man was thumbing away on his phone.
It will be interesting to see what sociologists make of this behavior shift in another 10 to 15 years. I assume we'll snicker at the bulky public display of smart phone use like we do looking back at the shoebox sized phones of the 80's.
It's becoming common to see signs at retail establishments, banks, and service providers stating "No Cell Phone Use While Checking Out". The use of smartphones in public has become all pervasive. Even in restrooms where I've heard the man in the next stall having an animated conversation on his cell… Yes even there.
Recently the Bay Area Rapid Transit agency (aka BART) shut down cell phone use in the train station to discourage public protests. The public, according to polling by KPIX-TV CBS 5 released Monday night support this decision. So no thumbing at the train station!
In the United Kingdom, the London riots were encouraged along, at least in part, by social media, specifically Facebook. Two young men received 4 year sentences for inciting riots via Facebook posts. In this case they were sitting at home typing on their personal computers. But it could just as easily have been done with thumbing smartphones while walking around a supermarket.
There are very real world ramifications for smartphone use. Societal influence via social networking (Facebooking and Tweeting, etc.) starts in many cases with the internet in their pockets: the smartphone.
Smartphones being so inexpensive now show no class distinctions. Even Cricket offers smartphones. (Cricket is an inexpensive cell phone provider that has no contracts.) There's also TracFones (those pay as you go phones you can pick up in a convenience store).
Smartphones are a game changer, just as the personal computer was a game changer. And by extension, the PC connected to the internet changed the world.
So what's next? Smart glasses? Surgical implants that place video monitors in your cornea? Cloning was once sci-fi… so don't scoff at cyborg models just yet – we will likely see them in our lifetime. Scientific American posted an article in February, 2011 that shows a promising step towards bionic eyes.
The future is coming. Thumbing is just the beginning.

Behold, the Amazing Alma!
I made up the Alma Blouse from Sewaholic and it turned out really well! The fabric print is interesting, though the fabric itself is nothing special (probably a poly blend).
The fit is perfect, and I see many more of these in my future. I have tried to make two of her Renfrew tees now, but cannot seem to pull off sewing the V-neck (which is my favourite style of tee), so I think I'll turn to the Alma this winter. Besides, a new indie fabric shop just opened up in Ottawa (more on that later!) and they sell only cottons, which is suitable for the Alma. Prints and beautiful colours, here we go!

The Animal section of the SEB has a diverse range of interests on whole organism biology, and also includes considerations of the links to cellular process at lower levels of biological organisation, but also associations between physiology, locomotion and behaviour in the context of ecophysiology or ecology. However, the core theme is the biology of the whole organism.
The animal section is split into special interest groups from the view point of managing our affairs, but scientifically these boundaries are not fixed, and the groups do share scientific events and interests. The groups include biomechanics, osmoregulation, animal respiration, neurobiology, and animal genomics.

As a result of recent disclosures made to the Securities Exchange Commission, Meta Financial's stock plummeted from $33.23 to $13.29 on October 19, 2010. Concerned Meta Financial shareholders are urged to contact securities lawyer Hamilton Lindley at 877-583-2855 or firstname.lastname@example.com for details about their rights.
On October 18, 2010, Meta Financial made the announcement that the Office of Thrift Supervision temporarily blocked Meta "from entering into contracts, including adding new banks for selling cards under its Simplexes program." Following this announcement, the Company's stock fell from a $33.23 closing price on October 12, 2010, to a $13.29 closing price on October 19, 2010.
If you would like to discuss your legal rights or have information that would assist the firm in this investigation, you are encouraged to contact Hamilton Lindley at 877-583-2855 or email@example.com. Goldfarb Branham LLP has experience representing shareholders in securities actions nationwide.

Growing for Kids
Growing for kids is not the same as growing with kids – that's a whole other post. Growing for kids is about growing things that your kids will eat, as opposed to growing things that your kids will like to grow. Are you following me?
In my nearly four years of experience growing for kids (which isn't a lot so if you a have older children bare this in mind), I've found that they like the following:
- Peas – green podded to begin with, then purple podded to add wow factor.
- Mangetout – so sweet when they are picked fresh that they are like candy.
- Carrots – small, quick growing ones that they can pull themselves. You'll be amazed at how harvesting their own food can make them actually want to eat it!
- Strawberries – by the bucketload.
- Raspberries – ditto.
- Blueberries – ditto.
- Blackberries – ditto.
- Apples, Peaches – not so much Pears as they can't be eaten directly from the tree.
- Teeny Tiny Tomatoes, or cherry Tomatoes – again it's a pick your own thing.
- Sweetcorn – Summer BBQ, butter dribbling down chin = happy children.
- Pumpkins – Watching and waiting and talking about Halloween is great fun.
- Gherkins – Small Cucumbers are a novelty and once the spikes have been washed off will be tolerated in small quantities.
Avoid things that are tough, stringy, need lots of sugar (Rhubarb) or have pips in.
You'll notice that disappointingly there's not much that's green on this list. In our house, at least, there is still a moratorium on the acceptance of green things on the plate – even if they have been grown by Mummy's own hands. I'll try again this year but I'm not holding out much hope. At the moment I can only get them to eat Courgettes if I lie and say they are Cucumbers – and that's not sustainable (or morally acceptable, I suppose).
So there you have it – my non-scientific list of things my children tend to eat from the garden. I'm sure there are children out there who happily munch bucketfuls of Spinach and Kale but they certainly don't live in my house.
8 Responses to "Growing for Kids"
I agree on the carrots and soft fruits but the kids in our community also love tiny green (French) beans, picked straight from the plant. Haven't tried this on any under-fives though …
# MowItSowItGrowIton 07 Feb 2012 at 2:05 pm
Cress is always a favourite green in my house. Easy to sow and quick to grow, and the only way I can get my little ones to eat anything green with a sandwich!
I had the same problem with courgettes and my two girls – so I started making 'Green Soup' and they loved it. Eventually I told them that it was courgette soup but by then they'd developed a taste for it!
# Jenniferon 08 Feb 2012 at 6:41 am
Perhaps a silly question – but why can't you eat pears directly from the tree?
My five year old son would amaze onlookers as he sat down to meals saying "mmm, broccoli, my favourite!".
Friends & family were 'in awe' at my parenting skills.
My secret? I'd told him they were 'tiny trees', which he loved the idea of & ate them with relish!
Sneaky I know, but the ends justify the means!
My kids are a bit older and are happy to pick handfuls of salad leaves in different colours and shapes. They also like experimenting with creating dressings to go with the leaves, which can have interesting results!
Hi Jennifer – you can if they are ready but pears are best ripened off the tree. I wrote a little post about it here: http://www.mytinyplot.co.uk/fruit/when-is-a-pear-ready-to-pick/
# debon 08 Feb 2012 at 1:35 pm
My kids love spinach by the 'bucket' load so long as it has balsamic vinegar on it as a dressing. They eat it as a snack when they come home from school. In fact once in the fridge, you look again and its gone. My kids have done this for 2-3 years now and they are 13 and 15 at the moment. However if I cook green veg no matter how… forget it, they only want to eat it raw.
Planted asparagus a couple of years ago so this year will be the first harvested, they have already got their recipes planned on how they want to try it.
From an early age they ate seafood, and always loved going sea fishing. They even ate sushi.
However they do have their own lists of….I dont like that, which consists of hard boiled eggs, cauliflower and mushrooms to name a few, but its not that both dont like, one of them will and the other wont….pretty usual I would say.
I even tried liver and bacon this weekend (after watching superscrimpers on tv) oh yeh they scoffed that right down. Here was me thinking they wouldnt like it….
I guess kids can just be fickle sometimes but it all changes once they grow some, then the main grip is they eat you out of house and home, greedy divils!!

The NFL season is officially underway, and will get started with the first game proper on Thursday night, when the defending Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens take on the Denver Broncos. The rest of the league will get going on Sunday and Monday, but this is a great matchup to get things started.
The two teams met in the divisional round of the playoffs last season, a game that the Ravens won, 38-35 in overtime. That game was blow-for-blow, with the Ravens and Broncos both scoring 14 points in the first quarter and then a touchdown in each of the following until the overtime period, when the Ravens managed a field goal to win it.
Let's take a look at the two teams below.
Meet the Broncos
The Broncos were the favorite to take down the Ravens in the playoffs last year, with many being shocked when the Ravens kept up with them offensively en route to their eventual win. This time, the Broncos are favored by an even larger margin by some. That's because they're just so stacked on the offensive side of the ball.
Quarterback Peyton Manning was fantastic with the Broncos last year, and is primed for another strong season, this time with wide receiver Wes Welker to aid him. The Broncos do have some concerns on the defensive side of the ball though, as cornerback Champ Bailey is out with an injury and linebacker Von Miller has to miss the game with a suspension. That should give the Ravens a much better chance at victory.
Meet the Ravens
Baltimore may have won the Super Bowl last season, but they're not the favorites this year. In fact, they're relatively low in SB Nation's power rankings for being the defending champs. That's due to some key players leaving on defense, such as linebacker Ray Lewis and safety Ed Reed.
But the offense should be just fine. Joe Flacco may not wow with his completion percentage in the regular season, but he received a huge contract for his efforts last season and should find Torrey Smith early and often in this game and throughout the season. Unfortunately, Flacco will be without tight end Dennis Pitta, and the team traded away Anquan Boldin before Pitta was injured, so Smith's importance cannot be overstated.
There's a few new moving parts on defense and some concerns on offense, but the Ravens shouldn't be counted out of any match at this point.
Local Takes: Broncos
Broncos Mike from Mile High Report thinks that screens and short passes will be the key to offensive success for Denver:
- Use the Screen Game. Not only with our RB but with Wes Welker and our WR's as well. I still expect the Ravens' corners to play a lot of off man coverage on the outside, a lot of Cover 2 with their safeties. So it will provide ample opportunity with some quick screens outside.
- Use the short passing game. I am looking for Wes Welker and Julius Thomas to get a lot of targets tomorrow. Both of them can win their matchups and both will keep the chains moving.
Local Takes: Ravens
Jason Butt of Baltimore Beatdown feels that Elvis Dumervil and Courtney Upshaw are the key to the Ravens pass rush:
Terrell Suggs and Ryan Clady figure to have a pretty good battle on Denver's left side of the line. But they key to any success from Baltimore's pass rush lies on the other side with Dumervil and Upshaw battling Franklin. Upshaw will get some snaps, but Dumervil may play the majority of the game since there figures to be more pass rushing opportunities.
If Dumervil wins this battle, then Manning could be forced into quick throws, which bodes well for a defense. Manning is one of very reliable right tackle for the Broncos.the best at getting rid of the ball, so all Franklin needs to go is give his quarterback an extra second or two of time with Dumervil bearing down.

Add these fine follows to your Twitter timeline:
That seems to be the consensus. Late-season win-or-go-home games have a lot more weight, but this is the biggest opener. I agree.— MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) September 4, 2013
Brandon Stokley -- #Ravens need strong offensive output to keep up with Peyton Manning: http://t.co/NKeZn2UkID— Baltimore Beatdown (@BMoreBeatdown) September 3, 2013
Pete Prisco of CBS Sports has the Broncos taking this one:
The Broncos have to love the idea of facing the team that knocked them out of the playoffs at home in the opener. Both of these teams are a lot different than last January when they met. I still expect another fun game, maybe not as good as that one. The Ravens are Joe Flacco's team now, and this is his first chance to show it. With the Broncos banged up on defense, he will have a good game, but not good enough to beat Peyton Manning, who will be better.
The Broncos opened as 7.5-point favorites to open the week and have remained around that number throughout, according to OddsShark.
Next Week
The Ravens will return home to take on the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, Sept. 15. The Broncos will hit the road to take on the New York Giants on the same day.

utilized. We have come to depend completely on less than 1% of living species for our existence, the remainder waiting untested and fallow. In the course of history, according to estimates made by Myers (1984), people have utilized about 7,000 kinds of plants for food; predominant among these are wheat, rye, maize, and about a dozen other highly domesticated species. Yet there are at least 75,000 edible plants in existence, and many of these are superior to the crop plants in widest use. Others are potential sources of new pharmaceuticals, fibers, and petroleum substitutes. In addition, among the insects are large numbers of species that are potentially superior as crop pollinators, control agents for weeds, and parasites and predators of insect pests. Bacteria, yeasts, and other microorganisms are likely to continue yielding new medicines, food, and procedures of soil restoration. Biologists have begun to fill volumes with concrete proposals for the further exploration and better use of diversity, with increasing emphasis on the still unexplored portions of the tropical biota. Some of the most recent and useful works on this subject include those by Myers (1984), NRC (1975), Office of Technology Assessment (1984), Oldfield (1984), and the U.S. Department of State (1982). In addition, an excellent series of specialized publications on practical uses of wild species have been produced during the past 10 years by authors and panels commissioned by the Board on Science and Technology for International Development (BOSTID) of the National Research Council.
In response to the crisis of tropical deforestation and its special threat to biological diversity, proposals are regularly being advanced at the levels of policy and research. For example, Nicholas Guppy (1984), noting the resemblance of the lumbering of rain forests to petroleum extraction as the mining of a nonrenewable resource for short-term profit, has recommended the creation of a cartel, the Organization of Timber-Exporting Countries (OTEC). By controlling production and prices of lumber, the organization could slow production while encouraging member states to "protect the forest environment in general and gene stocks and special habitats in particular, create plantations to supply industrial and fuel wood, benefit indigenous tribal forest peoples, settle encroachers, and much else." In another approach, Thomas Lovejoy (1984) has recommended that debtor nations with forest resources and other valuable habitats be given discounts or credits for undertaking conservation programs. Even a small amount of forgiveness would elevate the sustained value of the natural habitats while providing hard currency for alternatives to their exploitation.
Another opportunity for innovation lies in altering somewhat the mode of direct economic assistance to developing countries. A large part of the damage to tropical forests, especially in the New World, has resulted from the poor planning of road systems and dams. For example, the recent settlement of the state of Rondonia and construction of the Tucurui Dam, both in Brazil, are now widely perceived by ecologists and economists alike as ill-conceived (Caufield, 1985). Much of the responsibility of minimizing environmental damage falls upon the international agencies that have the power to approve or disapprove particular projects.
The U.S. Congress addressed this problem with amendments to the Foreign Assistance Act in 1980, 1983, and 1986, which call for the development of a strategy for conserving biological diversity. They also mandate that programs funded

|I'm too tall for my Weed Eater! Is there a way to extend the length of its shaft? I am 6'4" tall, & I use a Troy-Bilt TB525 EC Curve Shaft Gas String Trimmer. I have to hunch over to cut weeds at the proper angle & it kills my lower back by the end of the day. My trimmer has attachment capability, so I can take the string trimmer off & attach hedge trimmers, blowers, etc. I've been searching online for a shaft extension, but I can't find anything. If I could just add 3"- 4" to it, my troubles would be over! Do these types of extensions exist? Any recommendations for a weed eater that is comfortable for tall people to use? I apologize if I'm asking this question in the wrong place. I am just getting desperate for any solution. Thanks!
Follow-Up Postings:
|No extensions available. Have a look at Stihl FS46, same as FS45 but has longer shaft, or a straight shaft trimmer.
|try adjusting the handle. I agree straight shaft would be better along with an handle adjustment.
|Should look at Tanaka. Tanaka is the only one I know of that make an extra long trimmer for people 6'3" and over. The shaft is something like 3" longer than any other brand. I was on LS and they have a long thread about this and this is the only one.
|At my Echo dealer the other day, I thought I saw an Echo advertized as an extended shaft. Check that out.

|We have a Ryobi straight shaft gasoline trimmer (weed wacker.) It was 1/4 the price of a Stihl, on the factory-rebuilt equipment site, and IMO just as good. We had to return the first one and the second was the charm. This is common - and worth it! It's worked well for almost two years.
(I would never have an electric one, they're just too weak.)
Anyway, they have generic attachments available on the market, for straight shaft wackers, and the brands really do seem to be all the same. At least they're compatible. This is the value of a "straight shaft" wacker, even though they're admittedly heavier. They're also more powerful (if you choose carefully.)
We went to Lowe's and got the generic small chainsaw attachment, and it came with a shaft extension that makes the shaft twice as long. It's made to go between the wacker (motor end) and the chainsaw, each of which has its own shaft, so the result is quite long.
(Although Ryobi doesn't recommend it,) I use the extension with the wacker end (as well as with the chainsaw it came with,) quite often, to reach down a VERY steep dropoff at the back of the yard, going down to the road below at a greater angle than 45 degrees. Wacking or mowing anywhere close to the edge is dangerous, it's such a sharp dropoff. I can reach down much farther with the extension, and it may help you. (warning: it's HEAVY)
The little chainsaw (about 8 in. bow) is also very useful for trimming trees. It has a plastic bow, and so is fairly fragile - but if you clean it -each time, use proper notching technique, and don't expect to cut a fat branch, it works OK.
They also make a small plastic snowblower attachment which is the next thing we'll get, and after that, there's a small tiller attachment also available. Yes, they're extremely flimsy and light duty, but if you're careful and maintain them regularly, they work.
And you get that cool extension with the little "pole" chainsaw (tree trimmer.) I would love to find ANOTHER of those extensions to mow even farther down the backyard "cliff."
|I feel any major brand pro grade trimmer with a straight shaft vs a bowed shaft will help or solve your problem. I faced the same problem at 5'-11" tall with a bowed shaft with multiple attachments (which are not pro grade IMO). I added a straight shaft to the bowed trimmer with a hard blade attachment only. Purchased an Echo trimmer with straight shaft and use it with string only. My back and trimmers are happy (with faster jobs) when used with my arms fully in the downward position as much as possible.
You will easily get your 3-4" + extra reach with a pro grade trimmer. Plus, you can continue to use your multi purpose power head for what it is better suited for. IMO, multi purpose tools never do all well, compared to a tool doing a job it is designed for. loger

|Tanaka's TBC-260PFL is the only long trimmer that I was able to find a few months ago via the internet for my tall relative. It has a shaft 13 or 14 inches longer than others -- 70" versus about 67". Tanaka advertises that it is 14 inches longer and that the cost is about $430.
|Not exactly what you are looking for (4 to 6 inches) but here are two extensions of 24" and 36".

One of the star items in this collection is the Lumiere Sculptee de Chanel Highlighter. The design alone is drool-worthy. I gasp with excitement when I saw the product in person. The best part is that the intricate design is not an over-spray! There is a glittery over-spray on the top layer that quickly goes away after 1-2 brush swipes.
At first, I was really worried about Sculptee de Chanel Highlighter being chalky based on how it looked both in the pan and on my arms. However, I am glad to report it is not chalky or powdery once applied on the skin. I used Chanel's fluffy round powder brush to apply the highlighter on my cheekbones. It provides a beautiful, soft, and shimmery glow. I was sold instantly. There is a slight tinge of pink in the powder, which made me love it even more. At $72USD, I am still giving it a thumbs up because I can actually see the shimmer both in the store and in dim lit incandescent light.
Brun Rose was a complete surprise for me. It looks more brown-rose in the pan but swatches as a coral- pink as shown. It is very pigmented on my arm but is quite soft and subtle on the cheeks. When applied with a Chanel blush brush, I get a soft peachy glow. Brun Rose combined with Lumiere Sculptee de Chanel Highlighter is a killer combination.
The two single eyeshadows are Beige Lame and Blazing Gold. I didn't have much expectations for either of them but was pleasantly surprised by Beige Lame. In the swatch, it's a muddy light beige-brown but the images do it no justice. Beige Lame has these gorgeous multi-color shimmers that makes it quite unique. I'm not sure if my camera can ever capture this to show you.
Blazing Gold is a soft gold with gold shimmers. I'm not particularly blown away by this shade as much as Beige Lame. However, those who love gold eyeshadows may want to check this out.
Overall, I am glad the highlighter did not disappoint both in design, pigmentation, and formula. The collection has a lot of beautiful classic everyday pieces that you can reach for over and over again. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the face products either. I was a bit disappointed that NM did not have the loose powder tester. I imagine that would be a nice staple as well.
Bottom line: If you're on a budget, pick up the highlighter ASAP because it will definitely be sold out. Don't let Beige Lame fool you as just another simple brown-beige eyeshadow. It is much prettier in person. My top picks are the highlighter and Beige Lame. Brun Rose Tweed is also coming home with me but if you're on a budget, you can probably find a dupe for it from MAC, NARS, or Tarte. I'm still holding out on the loose powder as well. I think it might be another winner from this collection.
