I think actually being in Canada is a bit of an advantage as well because we're away from all the, 'woohoo! Look how amazing we are!' We don't see the shops with tonnes of FIFA copies in them, or see the launch or hear about it on the news. We're far enough away that we're this little isolated pod of negative nerds all working on FIFA.
There are other things out there. We're still worried about what Konami is going to do with Pro Evolution Soccer and naturally they're our closest sports competitor. But then there are other games out there too that are phenomenally successful like Call of Duty and all the other big games that people want to play.
I want everyone to play FIFA all day long because we're proud of what we've achieved and we think it's a wicked game. How dare they go and play Call of Duty! I want everyone playing our game all the time.
CVG: You've cleared 10 million with FIFA 12, but hundreds of millions more would've watched the Premier League last season. How do you turn those football fans into FIFA players?
DR: We talk about this all the time - can there be people who own a console, like football, but haven't got FIFA. Undoubtedly there are and we're like, 'well... why aren't they playing it?'
I think there are still people that look back on the history of the FIFA video game and don't realise that we've been through this massive transformation from this gimmick, marketing-lead video game to a true, gameplay-oriented video game where there's this brilliant experience to be had.
Or maybe it's just that they love football and they'd rather spend their free time when they're not watching football matches doing something else and shooting people - I don't really know.
The fact of the matter is we just want people to be happy when they buy our game and play it all year long, and we're very, very lucky that we're probably one of a handful of games where when people buy it, they literally play it until the next one comes along. The fact that we're doing that every year is pretty remarkable.

Cole set to return for Reds against Udinese
Joe Cole could make his first-team return after a hamstring injury in the Europa League clash with Udinese at Anfield.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers will also be able to call on midfielder Jonjo Shelvey.
Shelvey, who scored twice as a substitute in the Reds' Group A opener against Young Boys a fortnight ago, is serving a domestic suspension following his sending off in the Barclays Premier League defeat to Manchester United, but is still available to play in European games.
However, the match looks to have come too soon for Jose Enrique (knee), while Martin Kelly (knee) and Lucas Leiva (thigh) who all remain sidelined.
Provisional squad: Reina, Jones, Gulacsi, Johnson, Agger, Coates, Wilson, Carragher, Skrtel, Wisdom, Robinson, Sahin, Gerrard, Cole, Henderson, Downing, Allen, Sterling, Shelvey, Suarez, Assaidi, Pacheco, Borini, Suso, Yesil, Morgan.
Watch live coverage of Panathinaikos v Tottenham followed by Liverpool v Udinese in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday 4th October. Coverage of the double-header kicks off at 6pm.

Welcome to hollysprings's Member Page
See my Clippings See my Journal See my trade list Send me an email
In my first life in the real world, I retired as a designer after 35 years in the business, with the last 10 providing major design services for a home renovation contractor and builder. When the real estate market crashed, I retired. I still keep a hand in that world by taking on the occasional client, usually a real estate staging or a small reno.
In my "second life", I mostly drink tea and grow roses and work as a volunteer vet tech with my local animal shelter and spay neuter clinic. It keeps me busy and off the streets. It's a heck of a lot more rewarding dealing with homeless and needy animals than most people! I also volunteer as a tutor in literacy programs and aid in fundraising to assist with finding a cure for Multiple Sclerosis.
I've been growing roses for over 40 years in the sticky goop/hard concrete of Southern acidic clay. At one time, it was well into the triple digits of HTs. Ive been downsizing and downfussing for a while. Presently, I grow about 300, with most of them no spray easy care ones suitable for the South. I still maintain some HTs on life support and trial a few new ones every year, but most permanant new additions to my garden have been antiques from the china, noisette, tea, polyantha, "shrub", and hybrid musk categories.
My top 10 recommended varieties for rose newbies (zones 6b+) would include:
New Dawn-- a large pink climber
White Dawn-- a large white climber
Dortmund--a large red climber
The Fairy a small to medium light pink shrub
Belindas Dream--a pink shrub rose that looks like a HT
Carefree Beauty--medium pink shrub
Prosperity--white hybrid musk with great SCENT, large shrub/climber
Lady Hillingdon-- an apricot REAL tea rose, with real TEA scent
Mutabilis-- a large shrub with single blooms that change color
Louis Phillipe-- a crimson red china that grows well with no help whatsoever
Theres probably different ones that are at the top of the list on a day to day basis, but these are easy to grow and very forgiving, with lots of rewards for very little effort.
I live in: United States
My zone is: 8a Mississippi

So much can happen in a few days at Indigo Love. One after the other deliveries arrived – boxes and boxes of "I like these…". To add to all that a new furniture piece has been installed out of the warehouse, leaving the warehouse very thin indeed. Come on over New Indian shipment!
So this blog is all about what's new. First of all, the new (actually it's very old) Indian Almirah. Often when we go to northern China we will find what we called Tile cabinets. We never find many so if we get three a shipment, we are doing well, however, they never last more than a couple of weeks and go like hot cakes everytime, so when we spotted this one in India, it was a no brainer. It's such a funky little piece with loads of character…and it fits loads in it. Also that colour I keep getting attracted to – Turquoise.
Dimensions: 96 wide x 170 high x 52 deep
4 x doors (2 x sets) and 2 x low drawers
Next: Our new range of Apothecary – beautiful tinted Jars in 3 x sizes as well as a range of scented candles in tinted jars with the classic labeling. The candles are made in Australia with 100% vegetable wax and a lead-free cotton wick.
Small candles – AU$25.00
Large candles – AU$36.00
Large jar – AU$145.00
Medium jar – AU$80.00
Small jar – AU$50.00
Who doesn't love owls? especially when they light up like this one…AU$115
Mr Cockatoo – AU$95.00
We've actually had this Moroccan Lamp a while and it hasn't made it on the floor till now. I thought it fitted the mood of the new Almirah full of Apothecary perfectly with its iron and coloured glass so now has a new home next to it…AU$250.00
I just re-fuelled the shop of Kantha pouffes. We sell so many of these that we are constantly re-stocking. each pouffe is a one-off, made from Vintage Indian Saris. Here are a few newbies.

I started yesterday off enjoying BBC History's series of video explainers about WW1. Lovely, and informative, and created by After the flood.
But what I then equally enjoyed reading was Max's blog post about their creation, not least this paragraph in which he puts his finger on a really important aspect of good animations: getting the voice over and animation to complement each another.
Key to a sequence of detailed explanation is synching recognisable points on the video with their corresponding words in the voice over. This sounds simple but to match a visual flow of elements with a voice script requires a lot of planning at the storyboard phases. The moments of 'pinch' when the voice over matches an on-screen element create satisfying gestalts (closed loops) that engage the viewer.
Satisfied that I'd had a dose of infographic goodness for the day I then felt spoilt much later on when I stumbled across the Washington Post's Gaza overview. They'd neatly come up with a series of graphics that got the visuals and text to complement each other, truly integrated.
Here the key elements from the map are also presented as an integral part of the text. You do away with a key, you create a seamless link between the copy and the visual, and together they convey their meaning better than either in isolation would (or another 'satisfying gestalt' if you're Max).
I'd love to see more of this. Apparent simplicity like this is hard to do, but in the interest of aiding the audience's understanding it's worth the effort.]]>
Like any new 'thing' it needs a label. From my visual standpoint I've heard this described as shareable nuggets. At the recent #visualDEN meetup, the inspiring Amy Webb introduced us all to her new word cardification.

I think it's fair to say we're all talking about the same thing, some combination of words, pictures and numbers that deliver a bite-sized piece of content.
The BBC's new daily #bbcgofigure images are an example of a shareable nugget.

The examples above are the latest evolution in this trend, optimised in terms of both their content and design specifically for sharing. More on how you can do that at the end of this post.
A non-visual example is Vox's "Everything you need to know about…" series. Again optimised for sharing in bite-sized chunks, there are buttons to share the whole thing, or just an individual card.
Designing specifically for sharing is the next step on from sharing graphics originally developed for use on the web or print as standalone nuggets, so getting two uses out of the one piece of content. Examples of that include The Economist's daily charts and many of the explainer journalism sites like FiveThirtyEight.

We're going to see lots more of this, it's a great way of sharing content and generating traffic back to your site. But the reason I'm mentioning it here is because there are some things you can do to make this work better for you, for the visual nuggets that is.
What makes some nuggets more successful than others?
If you've read my blog previously you might have a sense of what I'm going to say next in answer to that question.
Predictably I have the most to say about the last factor – design – and it's probably best summed up by the idea that one size doesn't fit all. Optimise the design for the context and you'll get more shares.
Taking Twitter as an example, a portrait graphic with detailed text that worked great for users scrolling down a web page is never going to be legible as a picture displayed on Twitter. Simplify the key message, use bold design and landscape orientation and embed in the picture both your brand and a hashtag or URL to bring the credit – and more importantly traffic – back to you once it has been extensively shared.]]>
"Telling the story with the picture you create." via @lulupinney #visualDEN pic.twitter.com/rUFoaedUJN

Many people in industries beyond journalism are having to communicate visually in their work, or to put it another way tell stories with pictures. One of the reasons I started freelancing was that I could see opportunities outside journalism for others to benefit from the same lessons visual journalism – telling stories with pictures – has taught me.
Recently I was asked to talk about visual journalism at the #visualDEN event hosted at the FT (more on that, it was great, in a separate post soon). However what this gave me was the opportunity to sum up these 'lessons' which now gives me the opportunity to share them here using tweets of what the audience heard me saying, thankfully the same as the points I was wanting to communicate. I've expanded on some of them inbetween.
These points should be inherent to the simplest chart and most complex interactive says @lulupinney #visualDEN pic.twitter.com/MHSSH5MYmI
— Alastair Reid (@AlastairReid3) June 5, 2014
Taking those three points in turn:
Defining what you want to say is vital because it's the point of reference for everything else that follows for everyone involved, though getting to that definition can be a long journey in itself. Inherent in this is knowing your audience, as well as the platform you're working on and resources available.
By suitable content I mean that there are some things visuals do better than words and if you know what they are you'll recognise the kind of content that's worth visualising. Quality comes into play because this is still journalism, and the same standards apply to the content even if it is being served up visually.
Competent use of design tools seems obvious, but as equally obvious to me from the work being produced left, right and centre with no design consideration whatsoever is that (1) design is the first thing that's dropped in face of limited resources and (2) the end product suffers as a result. A blog post on the value of design will follow soon to pick up on this. Sensitive use of the tools in a designer's toolbox can support the journalism: at its best design is invisible, silently guiding the reader to and through the story.
But why bother to use pictures to tell stories in the first place?
Here I make an assumption: rather than just talking at our audience about the thing we want to communicate we'd rather they remember, even understand, it. Using visuals over and above just text can do this, as can the addition of interactivity. It's a concept summed up here:
#visualDEN great message from @lulupinney … pic.twitter.com/TAFEqFJQ1y

I used the example of Nigel Holmes' Wordless diagrams to demonstrate that a purely visual piece of work can be more memorable and better aid understanding than a block of text.
Visuals can show something when words often just tell you. It's not just about decorating stories #visualDEN

Three examples of good visual journalism
It's simple, built on the fact someone recognised one of the things visuals do better than words is show physical detail and make comparisons. With a World Cup coming up (in 2006) they wanted to do a feature on goalkeepers so did a physical profile of each one with the added twist that the hands are printed actual size so each individual reader could hold their hand up against it. Personal, and interactive.
This was done for a recent news story that had had masses of map-based coverage already (from a visual point of view). When the search shifted from the South China Sea to the Indian Ocean it was hard to get a grip on the scale of the problem, so with an interactive solution this piece of visual journalism lets the reader get a sense of that scale, making it much more real in the process. It's a well thought out piece of work playing to strengths of internet.
This last one is a piece of video, again out of the archive but it perfectly illustrates the point I made earlier that knowing your story informs the rest of the process, but it can take a while to thrash that out in the first place.
It started with a complex data set, a model of every pitch this guy threw in one season and the thought was to make a data visualisation of the rich data set so readers could explore it to figure out what made him the best. But then they realised the market for this was pretty niche, why not widen the appeal, make a linear piece – still using the data visualisations – but leading people through the evidence that explains why he was so good. Interactive exploratory data vis out, linear video in.
Don't set out to create a video or interactive, set out to tell the story. Form follows function advice from @lulupinney #visualDEN

Challenges and opportunities going forward
Challenges and Opp. = responsive design, social media that leads somewhere or is shareable – having a team with good skillsets #visualDEN
— JoziHub (@JoziHub) June 5, 2014
Other people sang the same tune here, so all I'd add – since it's my blog and I'm a designer – is that good design is part of the solution for all those issues.
There was also a fourth opportunity that no-one picked up on: non-numbers content. Data visualisations can be great but there's lots more besides that can be effectively visualised: relationships, processes, explanations, physical detail.
And lastly, have a go!
#visualDEN Pinney: build up a library of visualisations for inspiration.

And lots of the material and themes I talked about are referred to on the reference page on this blog.]]>
How a handful of recently published graphics look to most of us:
How they look to someone who's colour blind (deuteranopia), 1 in 20 people:
In a discipline where colour carries meaning an awareness of this means you can design in such a way that more people will be able to get something from your work. This is the same reason that journalists use plain english, and developers write code that will work across all devices: to reach a wider audience.
Colour blindness
The top circle is how the colour spectrum looks to someone with full colour vision.
The bottom circle is how the colour spectrum looks to someone with deuteranopia, the most common form of colour blindness. About 1 in 20 people have this, predominantly men.
Largely a consequence of the default colour palettes we are presented with in the programmes we all use, the most frequent colour combination that fails this test is red-green.
See the examples above.
However there are many free and easy to use tools to help you avoid this issue:
Color Oracle Once you've installed it hit F5 or F6 to see what your screen looks like to someone who's colour blind. For Window, Mac and Linux. I use this one.
Sim Daltonism It filters in real-time the area around the mouse pointer and displays the result — as seen by a colour blind person — in a floating palette. For Mac OS X. Thanks @nigelhawtin
ColorBrewer2.0 A tool to help you select colour palettes with the option to make them "colorblind safe" too – just check that box. Thanks @jburnmurdoch
If you use tools not included here that might help others please let me know or leave a comment below. Thank you.
There are a couple of other things you can do too to make sure any meaning being conveyed by colour is also being conveyed in other ways. Directly labelling differently coloured areas or lines rather than relying on a key that sits some distance away helps readers to distinguish them even if the colours look similar. Equally you can use different patterns for extra differentiation: dots, dashes, solid, hatched.
While I'm on this topic colour contrast is worth mentioning too. It's not clear how many people this affects but there's no harm in making your work as accessible to as many people as possible. And where this is most important is when you colour text, or reverse white text out of a coloured background. The tool I use is snook.ca's Colour Contrast Check, looking to see that my colour combinations pass the 'WCAG 2 AA Compliant' test. (HT the time I spent designing to BBC accessibility standards).]]>
I designed the poster for the launch of the Data Journalism Handbook two years ago and since then I've given a couple of talks about data journalism. And while it's taken until now to summarise them on my blog I think the key points are still valid.
What is data journalism?
According to IBM 90% of the data in the world today has been created in the last two years alone. This data is generated both offline and online, by individuals as well as businesses and organisations. It contains a record of actions, opinions, connections and interests. Not all of this data is being used, but it exists.
If the goal of journalism is to inform people about the important issues of the day how useful would it be to be able to harness this data?
Potentially we now can 'see' into the workings of individuals and organisations, events and phenomena by looking at the data that describes them. This is data journalism.
While 'Data journalism' is being bandied about as a new thing it's actually more a case of data being a new weapon in a journalist's arsenal. Whether data is the tool used to find stories or to tell them it's just playing a part in the process of journalism.
How do you do it?
The value of using data in journalism
A selection of case studies can be found in the Data Journalism Handbook that give more detailed examples of the following benefits of data journalism.
Data provides new ways of finding stories. Analysis of an original dataset, or an existing dataset but in a new way, can lead you to a story no-one else has found.
Data also offers new and richer ways of telling stories, giving the reader a better experience: let them explore the data themselves; make the story personal to them as an individual; serve a story relevant to their town or region.
In the same vein interactive data presentations lend themselves well to sharing on social media, and engaging readers in conversation. You can tap into the readers' experience, expertise and opinion. Equally you can get the audience to contribute their data, crowdsourcing further new material.
With data journalism having its origins in publicly available data it is incumbent upon data journalists it to pass this openness and transparency on, sharing their data and methods. In so doing any insights gained from data are verifiable: other people can check, replicate or challenge findings.
Using data in journalism in this way not only reinforces the role of journalism that serves the public interest but it also is a factor that has the potential to increase the public's general level of trust in journalism.
With such massive potential for original journalism emerging out of the increasing volume of data out there, there is a tangible spirit of innovation. This goes hand in hand with the potential all things digital have injected into journalism.
In a world where the consumer can now choose when, how and from where they get their news, trust and insight are two attributes that can get journalists heard above the general noise. And both of these can be provided by the use of data in journalism.
Going forward
Beyond journalism there is a data market place made up of both not-for-profits and commercial companies providing and selling data-sets, analysis and visualisations. However it's not yet clear how news organisations fit into that.
What is certain is that there's no shortage of data. This combined with the fact that the analysis of it is getting cheaper and easier and better is good for journalism. It provides a new tool to help deliver better reporting in the public interest, be that in the finding or telling of stories.
But it's worth remembering data is just a tool that can be used in journalism so there's little point trying to pin down a separate business model for it. There's more mileage in focusing on journalism's place in a digital world, and identifying where the use of data can play to its strengths, providing value for audiences. And that's looking like being in the areas of trust, experience and community.]]>

Keeping Yourself Health ConsciousJuly 7th, 2014
Health is a state of complete mental, physical and social wellbeing, not the absence of the infirmity or the disease. Many people do not realize the importance of the good health; if they do they do not give much importance. Even if we work in the office or at home, we need good health to perform our daily basis work. Good health does not mean that your physical condition. It does not mean free from the physical symptoms or the pain then you will be called a physical healthy person. But the healthy mind is also very important for the good healthy life.
The importance and necessity of the good health is not restricted among the caste, region or any gender. It is importance for each and every person in the world. Only that person can be called healthy if his body is perfectly fit physically and his mind would be clam and clear. But most of the attempts to become happy relate to the human body. Today man is running for the materialistic things like income, big status, and expensive houses, car, jewelry and so on. Because man believes that these things can give him the real happy but that's not true. According to the Buddha to enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.
If you want to keep healthy and fit then good food and proper exercise is very important. Healthy food is very important but with that you cannot deny the importance of the exercise. It is recommended that a normal person should have to walk 1000 steps daily that keep him away from lot of problems and keep him healthy and fit. Most of the people getting up early are very difficult and morning walks much more difficult. These people prefer to join the gym. But many people do not like the idea of joining the gym because they think that it is unpleasant and competitive.
But the reality is very different. There are lots of benefits of joining the gym. First of all everything is available under one roof. There is often something for the every member of the family. Courts for sports like badminton and squash, swimming pools for adults and for the children, and pitches for the team sports. Gym also provides the motivation and commitment for going the gym on daily basis and do exercise.
In the gym the concept of the mat is very popular. Different types of the Gym mats are available for the different kind of the exercises. The most important benefit of using the gym mat is that they protect the gym floor from the heavy weight crashing on it. And other gym mats provide protection to the body from injuries during exercise. These gym mats are also very popular for doing yoga.

God's Right Hand: How Jerry Falwell Made God a Republican and Baptized the American Right (Hardcover)
Not currently shipping from publisher – Subject to future availability
Falwell did not eliminate the divide between religion and politics. Nor did he blur it. He jumped over it, bringing millions of voters with him, and he never looked back.
from the Introduction
Mounting concerns over the nations moral decline. A populist critique of cultural elitism. Disdain for government involvement in private enterprise and health care. These themes dominate our political discourse, and have for a generations worth of elections. And they are themes almost single-handedly brought to the fore by the Reverend Jerry Falwell. As America was questioning its most revered institutions in the wake of the Vietnam War and Jimmy Carters malaise, Falwell was building his own institutional strength and influence, answering a felt need for certainty in a suddenly uncertain world. In this highly anticipated major biography, Michael Sean Winters traces the polarizing pastors journey to reclaim America for Christand his tireless work to define the orthodoxy and vocabulary that the Republican Party has used to great success ever since.
Falwell was, for many, the face of Christianity in America. The child of agnostic parents, he made a name for himself as a pastor and later founded his own Christian university. Initially ambivalent about politics, his controversial Moral Majority catapulted Falwell into the political arena. His life intersected with some of the most notable figures of his time, from Ronald Reagan, whom he helped elect president, to the scandal-ridden Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker. Falwell stared down pornographers and wrestled with womens groups. He battled with liberals and enforced a brand of orthodoxy on conservatives. He was a man of strong viewsand he knew that those views were shared by millions of Americans who were disengaged with public life. Falwell led them into the public square, articulated a coherent rationale for their involvement with politics, and made them the largest and most organized constituency in the contemporary Republican Party.
Today, no Republican candidate can hope to win elections without the support of evangelicals and fundamentalists, and the Tea Party has adopted nearly wholesale the rhetoric of Falwells ministry. His legacyas controversial as it is consequentialhas never been more palpable.
About the Author
Michael Sean Winters has written for publications including The New Republic, the New York Times, The Washington Post, Washingtonian, Slate.com, and America. He is a journalist for National Catholic Reporter and lives in Washington, D.C.
Praise for God's Right Hand: How Jerry Falwell Made God a Republican and Baptized the American Right…
"Jerry Falwell plowed the field that the Tea Party is flourishing in today. In this resonant and revealing biography, Michael Sean Winters captures the man, the political movement he created, and the beliefs that continue to sustain it now. Falwell matters. Winters explains why."
-George Stephanopoulos
"Left at the Altar describes the Democratic party's fickle relationship with faith and values voters with passion and insight. Michael Sean Winters has lived, worked in, and studied this world. No one knows it-or tells the story-better."
-George Stephanopoulos, on LEFT AT THE ALTAR
Winters credits Falwell with leading a movement that registered and motivated millions of voters. His legacy will be bringing a vast group of religious citizens into the voting booth. It is already hard to imagine our political landscape without them.

The Rangers' 'big three' coming to the fore at the right time?
The signs were there at the end of the regular season as Martin St. Louis began to look like the player the Rangers hoped they had acquired. It continued on Thursday night. St. Louis, while not registering a shot, was engaged, around the puck and around the net all night long and came up with two huge assists as the Rangers put down the Flyers 4-1.
Brad Richards may have played his best ever game for the Rangers Thursday night. The veteran center had a huge powerplay goal, two crucial assists, playing an energetic game while being physically and defensively committed all night long. He was there when it mattered.
Then there's Rick Nash. Nash looked to test Ray Emery at every opportunity (given he was shaky to begin, it was the right thing to do) and as the game developed Nash looked to go to the net with more frequency and could have scored as he cut to the net from the left. Nash also got an assist, as reward for his consistent performance on the night. If Nash drives to the net with more regularity the Rangers will be that much more dangerous.

Scott Memorial Hospital Joins Norton And LifePoint Joint Venture
The Board of Directors of Scott Memorial Hospital, a 25-bed critical access hospital serving Scott County, Ind., and the Regional Health Network of Kentucky and Southern Indiana, a joint venture of Norton Healthcare and LifePoint Hospitals ®, today announced they have finalized the acquisition of Scott Memorial Hospital.
Under the terms of the agreement, the Norton Healthcare and LifePoint joint venture will invest $3 million in the hospital over the next five years and collaborate with Scott Memorial to strengthen the services it offers, invest in new technology, recruit needed physicians, and ensure the continuum of care for patients through specialized healthcare services provided by Norton Healthcare. Other terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
"Scott Memorial is very pleased to finalize this acquisition," said Donna Faris, Chair of the Scott Memorial Hospital Board of Directors. "We chose Norton Healthcare and LifePoint as the best owner for Scott Memorial Hospital because of the clinical and operational resources and expertise they bring to our community as well as their commitment to quality care and the future of this hospital. We are excited about the many advantages this acquisition will bring to our patients, employees and medical staff."
All Scott Memorial employees were offered employment at the hospital, subject to pre-employment screenings. Additionally, the services offered at the hospital will be maintained and expanded as capital investments are made in technology and new physicians are recruited. Norton and LifePoint have agreed to maintain Scott Memorial's commitment to provide charity care. Because the Norton Healthcare and LifePoint joint venture is a tax-paying organization, the community also will benefit from new tax revenues the hospital will provide."Norton Healthcare and LifePoint are excited to partner with Scott Memorial to enhance care in Scott County and the surrounding areas," said Stephan A. Williams, President and CEO of Norton Healthcare.

I hear rumors that it's Fall somewhere, but today's high is 92 and sunny here in S. TX. I have been suffering a long month's worth of allergies, sore muscles, and way too much stress. My life has been changing so fast lately, with my son going to college, my mother's passing, and a divorce, that sometimes I just want to take a "time out" day, but I don't seem to be able to find the time. I've been so busy with my little guy, getting the house cleaned and decluttered from my hoarder ex, work, general mom duties, and trying to have a life outside of all of that other stuff that I can't seem to make myself just take a day to do nothing. And by that, I mean laying around all day reading, watching TV, eating whatever I want, and not doing any chores at all. I am very blessed with two great kids who help around the house, my little one does light house keeping, and my older son and his friend, who comes home with him on weekends for free food, are outside doing tons of yard work for me. I just finished feeding the masses homemade waffles and eggs, so they will pretty much do anything I ask at this point. I know logically I should take a break, but when I sit down with nothing to do but think, I just feel sad and lonely, so I stay busy. Not that I am running away from my life, but I don't think it does me any good to wallow in all the muck, ya know? I'd much rather watch a football game with some friends and drink a beer! I've noticed that when I DO spend some time reflecting on my life, I end up in pain, stiff, sore, and headachey, so I'm thinking it's not good for me, lol. If there isn't any definitive proof that stress makes Fibro worse, I can offer plenty of evidence! Ugh.
OK, guys, let me know how everyone else is doing!

Hello MCPayton,
I'm back after the flu then pneumonia. Needless to say my asthma didn't as fare well especially with all the coughing aggravating my asthma. Even with a nebulizer it took several treatments to keep the asthma under control. I still have to complete taking 14 days of Levofloxacin 500mg plus 4 more days of steroids after completing a 7 day Z-pack. So far I survived round 3 with pneumonia like an old watch that keeps ticking and wheezing. For several nights my breathing was so heavy it prevented sleep, but last night I slept for 12 hours. The only thing that woke me up was an itchy rash from the antibiotic and steroid (see attachment) a Benadryl cured the itching. My sinuses were a bloody mess too. Those were cleared up with daily irrigations followed by Flonase and Ipratropium Bromide in my nasal atomizer. More messages follow, Ed

Hello McPayton,
If you recall you responded to one of my posting pre-divorce mentioning your desire to find a man who could assist in household chores and other necessary work around the house, well I want to assure such men do exist.
My DS Geek1975 is example living in San Antonio with his DW and 2DS and DD. He is very busy man who appreciates his little time with DW. She wishes she could have him around like an 8-5 normal work day but that isn't possible. Since she keeps the company books DS appreciates she is over tasked and provides a live-in maid to do the household chores and cooking. This is not implying DS cannot do same just only when time permits and more enjoys his family especially DW.
DS hasn't forgotten romance either and takes every effort to show DW his affection.
Some might think I'm too old to understand today's woman, well as you will see in attached photos the proof of my DW and I efforts as a happy married man.
It's my sincere hope you are able to find a man who will respect and treat you like my DS. Ed

April 18th, 2014 By Kevin Perry
Las Vegas, NV- It seems as if Bernard "The Alien" Hopkins has been around the boxing game forever. With multiple championships in the 160 and 175 lb. divisions, the 49-year old current IBF light heavyweight champion (175) faces once beaten WBA titleholder Beibut Shumenov (14-1, 9 KOs) Saturday night on Showtime Championship Boxing. The Kazakhstan native's short resume is deceiving as the current WBA beltholder won his title in his 10th professional fight, a Split Decision 12 over slick southpaw Gabriel Campillo in a rematch in 2010. He has defended that title five times but has had large gaps on inactivity. If Hopkins is truly slipping at 49, Shumenov has the busy punching style to send Bernard reeling into a long overdue retirement.
The opinion of our Ringtalk radio host Pedro Fernandez, and HBO godfather Larry Merchant who aired on Ring Talk radio a few weeks ago is that "Popkins"(as he will be referred to here) ability to fight at the elite level at such an advanced age is an indictment on the level of boxing talent today in the division or lack thereof. Shumenov must not only win this bout, but do so in such a decisive manner to rid boxing of the "ancient" Philadelphia native. Hopkins has never been stopped in 64 fights. A definitive and conclusive win will put the Kazakh in the drivers seat for a potential unification showdown with WBC and lineal champion Adonis Stevenson (23-1, 20 KOs), who must prevail in his Showtime debut May 24th.
Is Bernard at this stage of his career more of a novelty than an entertainer? His last bout had some action, but at this stage Hopkins game plan is more about limiting action than being a part of it. One would expect that Shumenov has the tools and conditioning to pull off a decisive win. The real problem here is that whenever you think the Philadelphia near Sr. Citizen is about to go away, he produces another breakthrough performance. One has to expect that the train stops here. There is no beating father time. Shumenov, while not as crafty as Hopkins, is younger, faster, and at this stage appears to be more athletic.
Kevin Perry
Hopkins is a con man and and entertainer and laughing all the way to the bank. He keeps getting paid because Showtime thinks someone is watching him. Not me
Love him or hate him, Hopkins is a legend destined for the Hall of Fame. Watch him while you still can. He subtly adjusted his style, and has looked good in his last couple of bouts, meaning, he has become more fan friendly by taking some risks. This is a stiff challenge for him, so I will certainly be watching.
I watch his fights for the same reason I watch Andre Wards fights, I can't stand either one & I hope they will get kayoed!
Shumenov was the most unskilled and passive "champion" that I've seen in quite some time. His basic skills, speed, and ring acumen are a joke. The WBA is a joke by default, this is their champion ??!! Hops took 1 round to figure him out and then do what he does.
Best part of the night was watching Paulie get smashed. He actually said that a win last night would make him Hall of Fame eligible. Paulie and his fellow broadcasters have elevated his 2nd/3rd rate abilities to that of an accomplished top tier champion. Paulie, never beat or even successfully competed with, any top tier fighters. Paulie, please transition to full time broadcasting and give Marlon Starling his ring moniker back.
Keep hating, BHOP just dusted another one half his age!
Watch my Monday response Joe.
Not sure why people are hating on Paulie. No he is not a hall of fame fighter but he made a lot out of his career with what was given to him. Never ran from a fight, fought good fighters, didn't have much power and on top of that had hand issues yet he still fought through them, if he hurt his hand in a fight he didn't quit he kept fighting. Paulie has had a dang good career and is a pretty good commentator.
I'm not a Hopkins fan at all, but damn we can at least give him some credit (stop right there 1200). The guy is 49 and toyed with Shumenov. Granted, Shumenov is not as good as he thinks he is, but he beat some good guys. One comes to mind, Gabriel Campillo, who beat Cloud, only to get robbed, according to most. But mostly, the fact that he's 49 and champion, battling men far younger than him makes me think he deserves some props (a lot actually), but ain't it funny that anytime a fighter you don't like wins, then the opponent suddenly becomes "the most unskilled, a joke, no skills boxer"? Could it be that the guy across from him took his skills away?
BHOP is a legend and this was an entertaining performance. He also entertained in his last fight, which hasn't been common at times. I think he's still one of the best p4p, only a handful of fighters were able to beat him and most weren't dominant. I think only Jones (avenged due to Roy declining), Calzaghe and Dawson beat him without question, sans his first fight/pro loss. Bhop does well against guys who don't move well and has more trouble with athletic types, but he beat Pascal and I wouldn't count him out against Stevenson or Kovalev. I just don't know why dudes hate dominant fighters so much, from the Klitchsko's, to Hopkins, Ward and Floyd, it seems there is a fair amount of 'fans' just waiting for them to lose, while they're doing amazing things in the sport.
As bold as his statements were before the fight, Hopkins did just that – take Shumenov to school.
Alright – his fights are not entertaining to watch, but the way BHop dismanteled and dissected Shumenov was something to see if you are into the finer fighting art of the sweet science. Let alone being 49 and looking at least 15yrs younger. True inspiration – at least to me.
