The last time Jamaal Tinsley was in the NBA, he was a backup for the Memphis Grizzlies, which isn't really anything to write home about so never mind. The time before that, however, he got in a bunch of trouble with the Indiana Pacers and eventually had the team ask him to leave so that his bad attitude didn't poison young minds like Roy Hibbert and Danny Granger. It was a spectacular way to flame out.
But things have changed. Tinsley was the No. 1 overall draft pick in the D-League, joining the likes of such luminaries as Chris Andersen, Mikki Moore and Corsley Edwards. Then he was called up by the Jazz, since they needed a third-string point guard. Now, he's the Jazz's vocal leader, even though he's played just 22 minutes this season.
He's such a vocal leader, in fact, that the Jazz are literally calling him "The Voice." From the Salt Lake Tribune:
How loud has Tinsley been? Jefferson calls him "The Voice."
"Everyday we heard [about] things that we wasn't doing that we needed to hear," Jefferson said. "He was the main one." [...]
Tinsley said there wasn't a specific speech that reached the Jazz. Instead, he just stayed in his new teammates' ears, reminding them about the power of pride and teamwork.
"My voice is good and [I was] just letting them know that I'm here, no matter what," Tinsley said. "Whatever it take to show them that it ain't about me playing. It's about me just being a teammate and letting them know what I've been through. … As long as you stay together and play as a team, you can overcome everything."
Lots to love here. First off, "The Voice" is a great nickname for an NBA player, so I'm happy that's a thing now, especially since I don't even remember hearing Jamaal Tinsley talk. Seems like a perfect fit.
I also like Tinsley boasting that his "voice is good," which is just a very funny thing for an NBA player to brag about it. That's like Jon Secada telling everyone how great his pass fakes are or Rajon Rondo touting himself as having the best skin in the NBA. Kinda wonder what other guys around the league think they have great voices, but we're going to need them to be less timid about it if we're ever going to find out.
And of course, it's neat to see Jamaal Tinsley being really cool about getting a last chance at the league. That's not something you'd necessarily expect from Tinsley, who was a handful when he was with the Pacers. If he were a Blink 182 song, he'd be "I Guess This is Growing Up," or whatever it's called. I'm not a Blink 182 fan, but he'd definitely be that. Really swell.
But mostly, I just think we need to start calling Jamaal Tinsley "The Voice." You guys in?

Seamus Hickey's injury comeback: 'I was as raw as a steak'

I was going to have leftover grub sandwiches from last night but that isn't sounding so good. We have to run an errand soon, so I'd like to go to Wendy's--all that hamburger talk on another post got my hungry for a chicken sandwich. Go figure! Rain has finally stopped, but we never did get enough to make up the deficit--that doesn't look like it's spelled right. What are you having for dinner tonight? |
Follow-Up Postings:
When I saw 'grub' sandwiches all I could think of are the grubs in our lawn. I was removing a bunch of moss that has grown and there are lots of healthy, white grubs living there. We've got our work cut out for us this summer. We had hot beef sandwiches (from last nite's roast) with gravy and peas on top. Fried potatoes on the side. Homemade cookie for me, and a homemade blueberry muffin for hubby with our tea. |
Paw Paw Patch again today! Being as I was getting a new window for my car, I was close, had time to kill and ate there. hamburger steak, green beans, creamed corn and a corn muffin |

I went to make dinner last night and DH was in the kitchen heating up his left over fish and chips from Bonefish so tonight it will be the spaghetti we were suppose to have last night. Great for me since I didn't get home from bridge until 5:30. |
Last night I made ziti bake so all I would have to do is put in the oven when we got home from work. A little warmer today, still great for working, I HATE the heat so it can stay this way all summer. |
Pan fried teriyaki sirloin tips(from Wegman's) with little red potatoes with parsley butter and fresh green beans, Desert was ice cream cones. |

Gamers on the Street: Oceanic players persist despite performance issues {WoW}
Apr 14th 2008 5:38PM QQ more imo. With programs like lowerping and if you just get a decent connection in the first place, PvE is just fine. I'm in Auckland, New Zealand and am part of an Oceanic guild. We successfully raid BT/Hyjal with no real lag issues.
Arena is the only thing that suffers, and even then you need to be at about 1900+ rating before peoples ping is more important that their skill.
Once again this site looks at entry level guilds who barely raid and listen to their opinions. That's fine and all but about an interview with a proper dedicated raider in a successful raiding guild. If we can clear Hyjal with Oceanic pings, stop your wining about Karazhan.
Player levels nine characters to 70, all at the same time {WoW}
Dec 18th 2007 3:10PM That's the dumbest thing I've ever seen. How incredibly pointless. 9 Characters that are pre-kara. I'd rather have 1 character in BT than that. He's going to see f*** all content before the next expansioin. l2raid.

AFL legend and men's health supporter, David Parkin has taken on the role of 2014 ambassador for Dunkeld's "Serra Terror Endurance Challenge," the signature fundraising event which spans over 80 km of the Grampians National Park.
Parkin, who is well known for his outstanding career as both a player and a coach, boasts an impressive résumé which includes AFL premierships as captain and coach of Hawthorn, along with multiple titles as coach of Carlton.
Since retiring from the game, he has worked as a motivational speaker, educator and commentator, along with being awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia for his services to football.
He is also an ambassador for men's health, a role he took on after fighting his own personal battle with prostate cancer.
Parkin's involvement in the event began after speaking to Dunkeld Adventures sponsorship co-ordinator, Maree Willey at the Southern Grampians Australia Day function. Parkin was impressed by her willingness to support the community and pledged his support soon after.
"When I heard what they were doing, raising money for the community, I had a long talk with Maree who has been previously recognised for her fundraising work and offered my support for the event." he said.

Perfectly Poached
I purchased the PoachPods after reading a review on America's Test Kitchen. Poaching eggs before in boiling water was a crap shoot. I never knew what they were going to end up like. And forget 'eggs as you like them'; they came out however they came out - usually overdone and rubbery.
Now with the PoachPods - perfect eggs every time! I lightly oil each pod and place in boiling water. I crack each egg into a cup and then pour into the pod resting in the water. I cover, turn down the heat so it's just barely boiling and cook 5 minutes. I use a rubber spatula to loosen the eggs from the Pods. VOILA! Perfect eggs! They are pretty dense (they are in the shape of the cup), so I cut holes in the toast or place on toasted bagels if I'm doing eggs benedict.I recommend this product. -
At last, an egg poacher that is satisfactory!
I love good poached eggs, but I have always disliked the mess that gets made whenever eggs are poached - sticky, hard-to-clean pans, especially. This little gem takes care of the whole problem, quickly and neatly. And it's fun to use!
Just crack an egg and drop it into an oiled PoachPod. Then float the PoachPod in a water-filled sauté pan, and place a cover on it. (That seems like fun to me!) In a few minutes, a perfectly cooked, perfectly shaped poached egg will be ready. Tur te PoachPod inside-out with a quick push, and the egg is ready to be admired – and then consumed! It's very easy to clean the PoachPod. Thoroughly satisfactory!I recommend this product. -
This makes the most evenly poached eggs of anything I have tried, and the easy release from the silicone is incomparable. I ordered these for gifts after using them myself. They are little on the expensive side, but comparable to most silicone products.
I recommend this product.

Good, but take time to practice
I like these little poachers, but I think a bit of practice is needed before I can produce perfect eggs (which is only fair). On my first try, the egg was over-cooked with the yolk hard. On the second try, after 7 minutes, part of the white was still runny!I guess I'm not using the right pan or starting with the right water temperature. But the eggs do come out of the pods easily and the pods are easy to clean.

Makes the perfect poached egg
My friends in England use these to make poached eggs and convinced me to buy them. If you follow the directions, you will have the perfect poached egg. I cook my eggs for about 5 minutes - they are perfect every time :)

Breakfast Topic: Celebrated Mechanics
I have no idea how Misdirection is supposed to work, love it though I do. Does the hunter shoot someone, then yell loudly "Holy crap, Mr. Tank, I can't believe you shot that guy!" while pointing at me? Perhaps the rogue using Tricks whispers into the mob's ear that I told him to stab right in the buttcheeks? How does Vigilance work? Oh, sweet Vigilance, how do you work? I suppose as long as you keep working I shouldn't question you too much, Vigilance, and yet I must know. I often imagine myself lumbering over to a gnome warlock and saying in an insanely deep voice "Little friend, do not anger Jaraxxus so with your shadowbolting and your demon summoning, I will be watching you" before waggling a finger at her. She of course proceeds to light him up, sweetcheeks. "That is correct, large eredar moron, I told her to do that!"
So now we come to you. Is it Shield of the Righteous? Flight Form? The ability to equip polearms? Intervene? Blink? Thunderstorm? (I can't resist singing AC/DC's "You've been THUNDERSTRUCK" when I cast that spell.) Conflagrate, Death and Decay, maybe it's Prayer of Mending? (Who doesn't love PoM really? Bing!) What facet or ability of your class or classes just makes your day?

Advice Column: Low Calorie Bread?
December 5, 2013 by TMO
By Noor H. Salem
I found a 35 calorie toast bread brand at the supermarket and decided to switch from the regular toast I used to buy. Are there certain brands better than others I should look for?
Bluntly, if a bag of bread is advertising for 35 calories, I'd throw it right back on the self. That's even before I look at the paragraph-long ingredient list on the back of the bag.
There is a huge problem in this country. While companies are doing well with sales of items that are fat-free, low-calorie, sugar-free, and "not butter", the country is facing an obesity epidemic. Clearly something just isn't right. People are "dieting" yet gaining weight. What went wrong in the equation? Well, our ancestors did not count calories. They ate bread, meat, dairy, and nuts and were in much better physical fitness overall. Obviously, they were eating food in its natural state. Today a good majority of what's supposed to be edible, even our dairy and meat, is injected with hormones, processed to an unnatural degree, or genetically modified. If making bread 35 calories means dumping in two dozen chemicals to replace its texture, softness, and preservation then we have the wrong concept of food.
Food is meant to give us energy, and in case you're not aware calories are energy. Eating bread isn't bad for you; in fact having whole grains and healthy carbohydrates are essential for proper human function.
Having a slice of bread made of the essential ingredients of flour, water, salt, and yeast and being satisfied after is much better than filling yourself up with 35 calorie toast. Not only are you eating food in its natural state (if using healthy flour) you're avoiding the many chemicals that could be harmful to your health. Don't count calories, eat when you're hungry and stop when you're full.
Bread is usually made with less than five ingredients, if you're bag of bread exceeds this number, even if they have a million banners and bubbles on the front of the bag claiming it to be healthy, put it right back on the shelf. Whole produce and food don't advertise to us from every angle- we are well aware that they're beneficial. You may not know whether the 35 calorie toast is good for you or not, that's where the advertisement comes in. Even if it's not 35 calories, claims like "whole grain," "made with whole wheat," and "healthy" are full of loopholes. The best thing to do is look at the ingredient list. If you don't have the ingredients in your kitchen cabinet, forget that bag of bread.

Aims: Social inclusion is important to an individuals health, quality of life and sense of wellbeing. In todays society, there is an understanding that it is the social, economic and cultural barriers encountered by people with impairments that cause disability. Health-care professionals are well-placed to identify these barriers and the potential for supporting the development of valued roles for their clients, to engender social inclusion. Methods: This article examines the concepts of social exclusion, social inclusion and their relevance to health, wellbeing and valued social roles. The theory of social role valorizationwhich was developed initially to support and sustain socially valued roles for those who are, or are at risk of, being devalued within societyis discussed and the criticism of this theory is explored. A framework based on this theory is then presented. This framework incorporates these principles and can be used by health professionals across a range of practice settings as a legitimate starting point from which to support the acquisition of socially valued roles, which are integral to inclusion. Conclusions: Supporting the development and maintenance of valued roles is an intrinsic role for all health-care professionals, and it is hoped that this framework to assist the acquisition of valued social roles may be implemented in therapy and rehabilitation settings. Further exploration of the practical implementation of this framework is suggested.

As glorious as the human body can be, we do get ill from time to time. Even a simple cold can have a drastic impact on the week; runny nose, agitated cough, or maybe something more severe. If there's one thing we all learn as we grow up, it's that we're not as invincible as we might have thought, even in our prime. So when you wake up with a throat like a furnace, your head is throbbing behind your eyes, and venturing to the shop for relief feels like climbing Everest, you call work and let them know you're ill, simple. Work then gives you the time you need off, and after a few days respite, it's back to the office with a skip and a hop. Depending on what's ailing you, work should give you adequate time to recover, so what do you do if the situation is a little more serious?
Approximately 1 in 3 of us will get cancer in our life time, a sobering fact and no mistake: it's a complete world changer. Medical technology has advanced a long way in the last decade, but we are still a long way from discovering a proper cure for many diseases. For now, treatments in cancer and genetic disorders can take anywhere between 6 months and a year. In the event that something should happen to you, securing your finances should be a priority as well as the protection of your family and friends.
Unfortunately, the world keeps on turning and money will always be a prime concern, especially after a terminal diagnosis. Thankfully, companies like The Women's Wealth Expert can help sort out finance for women all over the UK in preparation for something as world-shattering as a terminal diagnosis. Working men and women suffer the same problems, but it's nice to know that financial advice, specifically tailored for working women, is available to help working women prepare for whatever the future may bring. The days of the man of the house bringing home the bread are long gone, so services like this make for a welcome change for working women all over the country.
There is tailored help like this available for both men and women, but finding the right support for your situation can often feel like running a maze. See this video of testimonies from surviving cancer patients if you are unsure of what to do, or who to speak to.
The most important thing for you to remember is to communicate. Talking about an illness can help influence what you do about it and set you on a more active path to recovery. For more information on dealing with severe illness, visit the BBC Health site, or speak to your local GP.

on March 4, 2009All of the clichés are true: the pros patiently signing balls for rowdy packs of eager half-pints; ballparks so intimate you can chat up the right fielder between innings; languid afternoons filled with cloudless blue skies and ample sunshine. As Steroid Era ennui grips Major League Baseball, Spring Training is where small-town "little b" baseball thrives untroubled, where the lucky person in section 208, row 2, seat 7 just won two free small iced coffees from Dunkin' Donuts and the crowd sings the national anthem so loudly, no one cares that the amateur belting it out at home plate is wildly off-key. (This all actually happened. I just spent four days in Fort Myers, Fla., where the Boston Red Sox are preparing for the upcoming season.)
See, here it really is how you play the game. The fans don't go home glum after a loss — it's not like these are the starting lineups you'll see on Opening Day. By the fifth inning, the field is filled with no-namers, never-beens, and wannabes all furiously competing to make an impression. None of them have a prayer to crack the big leagues, but that's not to say nothing is at stake. The difference between the salary at AA and A starts at $500 a month — no small potatoes when you're making just $1,100 a month playing rookie ball. When Spring Training is over, these guys go back to the same shitty day jobs everyone else does. These aren't millionaires roaming the outfield. And these aren't pinstriped dickheads eating catered meals in corporate boxes, either. These people are total clichés in the best possible way, singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" in the seventh-inning stretch while eating peanuts and Cracker Jack at the old ball game.

White House, Red Carpet: How The Stars Dressed For D.C.'s Biggest Bash
The guest list at Saturday night's White House Correspondents' Association Dinner could've been pulled straight from my digital cable box. Homeland's Claire Danes mingled with Natalie Dormer from Game of Thrones (who, unlike her scheming alter ego, Margaery Tyrell, was not wearing anything blue, backless or cleavage baring), alongside Downton Abbey actress Michelle Dockery, Mad Men's Jessica Pare and more.
The only thing more exciting than the guest list (Carrie Mathison, Megan Draper and the president: all the in the same room!) was the evening's fashion.

Finding a set of curtains that provides both function and decorative factors can be a challenge. After all, most people want their window treatments to frame their decor with a curtain panel that looks lovely. A lightweight voile fabric is optimal for this.

That is where the additional of thermal backing comes into view.
Thermal Curtain Benefits

This filtering of sunlight also ensures that your carpeting or flooring, as well as wall paints and furniture, will not fade over time from constant sun bleaching.

Keep lemon and orange extracts on your pantry shelf to use when you don't have fresh citrus peel. If your recipe calls for 1 teaspoon grated orange or lemon peel, substitute 1/2 teaspoon extract. Add the extract with the rest of the liquid ingredients in the recipe.

1,000 Gallons of Fuel Removed from Port Isabel Marina
Friday, August 3, 2012 - 8:07am
PORT ISABEL — Workers from the Texas Land Office cleaned up about 1,000 gallons of diesel fuel that spilled into the water near South Point Marina. The Texas Land Office reported that the cause of the diesel leak was from a tug boat that released the diesel into the water when it began to sink near the Cemex plant. Workers used vacuums and skimmers to collect and then remove the fuel, but the tug boat is still at the bottom of the marina.

Dwarf Hamsters Campbell's Hamster (Phodopus campbelli) Roborowski's Hamster (Phodopus roborowskii) Winter White/Russion/Siberian Hamster (Phodopus sungorus) Chinese Dwarf Hamster (Cricetulus griseus)
Diet: Herbivorous Adult Size: 2-4" Lifespan: 1-3 years Native To: Desert Regions of Asia Characteristics: Nocturnal, timid, can live in pairs
Did You Know:
Their larger cousin, the Syrian Hamster, is a solitary animal, but Dwarf Hamsters live happily in pairs, enjoying the companionship of others of their species.
Like deer and many other animals, hamsters have harderian glands behind their eyes. Aside from lubricating the eyes, these glands aid in the detection of light and the maintenance of body temperature.
Hamsters make a variety of sounds to communicate with one another. Many of these sounds are ultrasonic, so are not audible to the human ear.
The material below is a general guideline, and is not intended to serve as your sole sources of pet care information. Visit a veterinarian and consult a broad range of literature to ensure that your pet receives adequate care.
Things You Should Know About Dwarf Hamsters
The Basics:
There are several species of Dwarf Hamster. Experts disagree on many of the species' names, for example some call Campbell's Hamster the Djungarian Hamster, while others use that same name for the Winter White Hamster. To complicate matters farther, there are now several hybrids of the main dwarf hamster species. However, knowing the exact scientific name of a dwarf hamster isn't necessarily vital, since care for all the dwarf hamster breeds is very similar. Dwarf hamsters originate in various regions of Russia, Siberia, Mongolia and China. Unlike Syrian Hamsters, dwarf hamsters live together in large groups, digging vast underground burrow networks. It is therefore possible – and desirable – to keep more than one dwarf hamster in a cage. Dwarf hamsters are happiest when they have a companion. Campbell's, Roborovski's and Winter White Hamsters are all members of the short-tailed dwarf hamster family, but the Chinese Hamster belongs to the unrelated rat-like hamster family. The Chinese Hamster is the only hamster that is not legal in all 50 states, since they may be regarded as "pests" that pose a threat to agricultural crops. Campbell's Hamsters are unique in that the males of the species help raise the young.
Enclosure: A House For a Mouse:
Since they're smaller than the Syrian Hamster, dwarf hamsters can be kept in enclosures designed for mice. A secure wire cage or a 10-20 gallon aquarium with a wire-mesh top is fine for a pair of dwarf hamsters. Plastic tubular hamster habitats are too big for dwarf hamsters, since they cannot maneuver themselves through the tunnels. However, dwarf hamsters do well in the newer and smaller mouse-friendly tubular enclosures. Plastic tubular habitats mimic the complex underground tunnel networks typically constructed in the wild, offering the animals a more naturalistic environment. Position the enclosure well away from drafts, heaters and direct sunlight, and check it thoroughly for all possible means of escape.
Bedding : They Like To Burrow:
Like the larger Syrian Hamsters, dwarf hamsters do well with bedding that's deep enough to allow them to satisfy their natural burrowing instinct. Providing an inch or two of substrate throughout most of the enclosure, with a five or six inch high bank at one end helps to create an interesting environment for these pets. The bedding should be absorbent and dust free - recommended materials include wood shavings, or a rodent substrate made from reclaimed wood pulp or pelleted paper. Never use cedar or pine based products, since they can cause severe respiratory problems. Some dwarf hamsters can be trained to use a litter box - if it becomes apparent that more droppings are being found in one part of the cage than anywhere else, a commercially available 'hamster potty' should be placed there, filled with hay or pelleted newspaper cat litter. Clay and clumping cat litters must never be used, since they can cause digestive or respiratory problems. For a reluctant potty trainer, placing a few of the animal's own droppings inside the litter box should help it understand the box's purpose. Clean out the litter box daily, and disinfect it weekly. If you use corn cob bedding change it often to protect against the build up of bacteria and mold. Also do not use corn cob bedding with a pet that may ingest bedding.
Nesting Material: Hamster Hideaway:
Naturally shy animals, dwarf hamsters need a comfortable place to hide away during the day. This is best provided by placing a nesting box with nesting material in the cage. Shredded white paper, such as tissue or paper towels provide a good nesting material. The nesting box should be large enough for the hamster to turn around in, but not much bigger.
Exercise: They Need To Exercise:
Hamsters are naturally active creatures, but when confined in a small cage they may be unable to get enough exercise. This can lead to a condition where the hamster becomes hunched over, unable to raise its head. The traditional hamster wheel is an ideal outlet for a hamster's energy - a research study found that hamsters typically run five miles a night on their exercise wheels. Special smaller sized wheels are available for dwarf hamsters - solid wheels without open rungs are kindest to the feet. A hamster living in a tubular plastic habitat will get some exercise from running, jumping and climbing inside its home, but it will also need to run on a wheel. Hamsters can quickly chew their way through plastic toys or accessories. Check regularly for splinters or sharp edges caused by chewing. If a hamster habitually chews on a plastic accessory, remove it from the enclosure since it could become a choking hazard. Some dwarf hamsters will enjoy exploring the house in a plastic exercise ball, but great care should be taken to avoid injuring the pet. An exercise ball should never be used in a room with another pet, such as a cat or dog. Nor should exercise balls be used in an area where they could possibly roll down steps, since rolling down even a single step can prove fatal to a hamster. A pet's time in an exercise ball should be restricted to no more than 10 minutes to avoid dehydration, exhaustion or injury.
Chewing: The Right Foods Are Essential:
Since dwarf hamster's teeth are always growing, they must be kept from getting too long by frequent chewing on the right kinds of food. Providing chew toys is also very important. If a dwarf hamster has nothing to chew, it will eventually be unable to close its mouth, and will starve. Wooden chew toys are designed especially for rodents in a variety of shapes, sizes and aromas – some are even made in fun food shapes. They must be a staple feature of every Dwarf Hamster's cage. Chew toys should be inspected on a daily basis, and replaced if they're soiled or excessively worn.
Temperature & Humidity: No Special Needs:
Hamsters are comfortable in temperatures between 60-90ºF. This means they're usually very content at an average room temperature, needing no special heating or lighting other than a 12 hour day/night cycle. The average humidity level that should be obtained in an enclosure should be 30-50%.
How to Handle A Dwarf Hamster: Being smaller, Dwarf Hamsters are more delicate, more skittish and faster to escape than their Syrian cousins. They must be handled very gently, under the supervision of an adult. Most hamsters tend to be nervous when first picked up, and may bite or urinate. Even tame hamsters sometimes nip if wakened from a sound sleep. However, when handled regularly from an early age, many hamsters become quite tame – offering a sunflower seed at each handling often helps the animal to bond with his owner. Before even opening the enclosure, check that the room is safe for the hamster if it should escape. Curious cats and dogs should be elsewhere in the house, electrical cords must be picked up off the floor, and if possible the doors to the room should be closed. Never handle a hamster over a hard surface – keep him close to the ground over a soft pillow, or hold him above the enclosure. A hamster will be less startled if approached from the sides with both hands rather than from above. Scoop the animal up with cupped hands, bringing one hand underneath so he is sitting on the palm. Bring the other hand up over his back. Do not squeeze, even if the animal tries to squirm out - a hamster can often be hurt more by an instinctive sharp squeeze than by a fall. Always wash hands well before picking up a hamster - the smell of food on a hand sometimes tempts the animal to take a nibble.
Dwarf Hamsters Around The House: Hamsters are always on the lookout for a quick escape, and can scamper away under the furniture in the blink of an eye. As already mentioned, the area must be hamster-proofed before the enclosure is even opened, with cats and dogs elsewhere in the house, electrical cords off the floor, and doors closed. Make sure to block off any nooks and crannies the animal could wriggle into, and keep cleaning fluids and other hazardous materials out of harm's way. Above all, watch the animal closely at all times. Plastic hamster balls offer a safer, more controllable way for the animal to explore his surroundings, but these too must still be observed constantly. If a hamster should escape, close all doors, lay out a few sunflower seeds as bait, and wait until the animal pops out to grab them.
Cleaning The Enclosure: A hamster's cage should be inspected daily. All uneaten food, droppings and soiled bedding should be removed. The entire cage and all of its accessories should be cleaned, and most of its bedding replaced every week. The cage can be wiped down, or if necessary washed using hot, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry with paper towels before adding new bedding. Mixing some clean old bedding in with the replacement will give the hamster an added sense of security. Hamsters empty stored food from their cheek pouches and hide it away for later, so the enclosure should be checked thoroughly for these little hidden larders, so they can be removed during the weekly cleaning. Periodically disinfect the cage with a product designed for small animals, or a bleach solution, following the guidelines found earlier in this manual. Hamsters should be placed in a secure "holding" cage or tank while their cage is cleaned. Always wear rubber gloves when cleaning a hamster's cage, and wash your hands afterward.
Common Dwarf Hamster Ailments
Hamsters are very prone to stress-induced health problems, usually caused by waking the animal from a deep sleep too frequently. Symptoms of ill health may include weight loss, matted fur, dull or runny eyes, shaking, runny nose or diarrhea. Contact a veterinarian promptly if a hamster seems ill. This is especially true for hamsters that have diarrhea; they should be isolated immediately, and their enclosures should be disinfected with a small animal safe product or bleach solution.

Seventeen-year-old Mary Katherine (Amanda Seyfried), who goes by M.K., is moving in with her eccentric father, Prof. Bomba (Jason Sudeikis), following the death of her mother. His ramshackle house in a forgotten field 20 minutes outside New York reeks of hand-me-down home, and a clutter of clunky monitors and black-and-white video cameras speak of secondhand electronics, purchased cheap and broken and forced back into working order. It's not surprising there's little other than baloney in the refrigerator—Bomba seems broke but busy and happy in his own little world, searching for bug-sized humans he believes have left tiny helmets, saddles and spears behind, or maybe just acorn tops, a saddle-shaped fungus and splinters.
A grieving M.K. can't summon up a connection with this odd stranger, and she's preparing to call a cab and leave—to where, you wonder—when her childhood pet, the half-blind and three-legged pug Ozzie, disappears into the woods. Following him, she ironically finds the magical people for which her father searched. Stumbling across a once-in-a-hundred-years ceremony involving forest-protector Queen Tara (Beyoncé Knowles), M.K. shrinks to insect size. Taking it all in perhaps a bit too readily—the movie's only minor shortcoming—she quickly finds herself allied with Ronin (Colin Farrell), the stoic military commander of the Leafmen, and the brash young shirker Nod (Josh Hutcherson), whom Ronin is trying to mold into Nod's late father. The enemy—and a right natural one—is a force of rot and decay, manifest in a race of shark-like humanoids, the Boggans, led by Mandrake (Christoph Waltz). Abetting M.K. and company is a pair of comic-relief gastropods: Grub (Chris O'Dowd), a snail, and Mub (Aziz Ansari), a slug—and proud of it, too! An utterly assured ladies' man, er, mollusk, his full-on attitude makes the absurd little slimeball a breakout character you'd want to see again.
One reason it all works is that Joyce, who was also one of the production designers, helped craft a self-contained, internally logical ecosystem of tiny humans alongside people-like plants and animals, all of whose camouflage is so natural it's startling. He and his co-writers created a world that makes sense within the parameters they set—unlike with Rise of the Guardians, where powers and physical limitations were never clear. The story here never cheats.
All these things in themselves would have made a good, solid movie. What elevates it beyond that is a pervasive longing and a sense of regret as thick as fog—honest emotion, not just sentiment. And amazingly, there's no neatly tied bow at the end. A son goes MIA, his remains never found. A supporting character's dream, which in nearly every movie gets schematically fulfilled and checked off the list, doesn't come true. It's not that this PG-rated children's movie is going out of its way to make these curveballs obvious or dark—it's subtle and subtextual, offering a thematic richness in addition to this movie's surface treats. Epic remains too vague a title, but I guess Heartfelt and Imaginative Coming-of-Age Adventure with Emotional Density that Will Resonate and Stay with You just won't fit on a marquee.

Book 'em for another year! CBS renews "Hawaii Five-0" for a fifth season.
by: Derek Paivaposted: Thu Mar 20, 2014 at 07:05 AM

Looks like another year of Daniel Dae Kim's megawatt smile, circular Kakaako police chases, the comedic bromace of one Det. Danny "Danno" Williams and Lt. Commander Steve McGarrett, and (crossing fingers) way more Michelle Borth.
CBS has green-lighted Hawaii Five-0 for a fifth season, presumably beginning in September.
The fifth-season pick-up for the Oahu-filmed crime drama was hardly a surprise. A move for the series last fall from its three-season Monday primetime home to Friday nights has boosted per episode Nielsen ratings for Five-0 and overall Friday night viewership for CBS so far this season. Between season three and season four, the average audience for new Five-0 episodes has risen by nearly a million viewers.

Better yet—for Lost fans, anyway—the next season of Five-0 will make permanent the current season's reunion of Jin-Soo Kwon and Hugo "Hurley" Reyes. CBS also announced that Jorge Garcia will join Five-0 as a regular cast member beginning with the 2014-15 season, assuring his conspiracy theorist character Jerry Ortega will likely get lots of screen time with ex-high school classmate Lt. Chin Ho Kelly, played by Kim. Garcia and Kim were principal cast members of the Oahu-filmed ABC adventure-drama Lost for its entire six season run between 2004 and 2010.
The rest of Five-0's current principal cast includes Alex O'Loughlin (McGarrett), Scott Caan (Danno), Grace Park (Kona "Kono" Kalakaua), Masi Oka (Dr. Max Bergman) and Michelle Borth (Lt. Catherine Rollins).
Sadly, there's no word yet on the return of McGarrett's seemingly indestructible arch nemesis, Wo Fat, and his alter ego, actor Mark Dacascos. But we're crossing fingers. Stay tuned.

Preventing Car Break-Ins
Remove all valuables from your car. Don't leave valuables visible.
Close the windows and lock your doors every time you get out.
Park in well-lighted areas and don't park near shrubs or fences that could provide concealment for criminals.
Keep your driveway and yard lit up all night. It's harder for criminals to hide in the light.
Don't keep spare keys inside the car.
Lock your shopping packages in the trunk.
Use heavy duty locks for truck tool boxes and secure the tool box to the bed of the truck.
Be observant. Notify the police if you see anyone acting in a suspicious manner such as loitering around cars or looking into cars.
Always trust your instincts and gut feelings – if you sense something is odd, it probably is. Call and get the next available officer sent to your area.

I have read quite a few articles lately about Americans being deficient in Magnesium. It's not too surprising considering the state of the typical American diet these days. Especially the high rate of type 2 diabetes and obesity. Magnesium deficiency has been linked to asthma, anxiety, heart disease, and osteoporosis. MIT researchers discovered that magnesium is essential to learning and memory.
Magnesium is needed for more than 3oo biochemical reactions in the body. Some of those include muscle function, keeping the heart rhythm normal, immune system health, keeping bones strong, regulation of blood sugar, healthy blood pressure, and energy metabolism.
The daily recommended daily dose is 420 mg for men and 320 mg for women. If a deficiency exists it's good to take a higher dose for a month or two at least 500 mg daily. Foods that are high in magnesium are artichokes, buckwheat, almonds, brazil nuts, cashews, black and white beans, spinach, halibut, and pumpkin seeds. Magnesium supplementation is inexpensive and has so many benefits from strong bones to a healthy mind

3. Everything / History & Politics / Historical Figures Pericles - Athenian Statesman and General Pericles1 was the leading Athenian statesman of the mid-to-late 5th Century BC, a period now known as the Athenian Golden Age. Athens was one of the most powerful of the Greek city states and as leader, Pericles was directly involved in all the major events of the era, such as the Peloponnesian War2. Pericles also oversaw the transformation of the Delian League (an Athenian-led organisation dedicated to protecting its members from the Persians) into a genuine Athenian Empire. Most of our information on Pericles comes from the contemporary historian Thucydides and the Roman biographer Plutarch. Background and Personal Life Pericles was born into a powerful, aristocratic Athenian family, the Alcmaeonids, at around 495 BC. His father, Xanthippos, was a respected Athenian commander and his mother, Agariste3, was the niece of Cleisthenes, a famous Athenian who had led reforms to the Athenian democracy. Pericles married and had children but divorced his wife and became Aspasia's4 lover, an educated courtesan who ran a brothel. They had children together. He also had some famous and influential friends, including Anaxagoras, a philosopher and scientist and Pheidias, the sculptor who created the great golden statue of Athena at the Pericles the General Pericles was elected year after year to serve as a Strategos or General - at one stage, he was elected for 14 consecutive years. Although he was one of ten generals, he was considered to be their unofficial leader, as his colleagues had a great respect for him because of his military success. He led the armies of Athens in the field on several occasions:
Pericles the Orator Pericles' political power came not only from his influence and success as a general. He was also a great public speaker, capable of persuading the Ecclesia (a gathering which all citizens could attend where major decisions were made) to follow him. His skill as an orator came to the fore when he was chosen to give the Pericles the Politician Pericles realised that to be truly powerful he would have to introduce policies which would benefit the Athenian masses - the ordinary people. This was in stark contrast to most previous politicians, who were, like Pericles, wealthy and aristocratic, but were more concerned with taking care of their own class, the minority, rather than the ordinary people. For example, Pericles proposed a motion to recall his political rival Cimon from exile when he understood that this was what the people wanted. Pericles also spent a great deal of civic money on entertainment for the public such as plays, which made him even more popular. His policies were mostly successful because they provided benefits to the majority and because he was such a persuasive speaker. They included:
Pericles was so powerful and influential that, after some time, he could contradict the people and do as he thought best rather than what they wanted. However, he was not always successful. For example, when Athens set out to colonise a place called Thourioi in Italy, Pericles proposed that it should only be open to Athenian settlers. Others wanted it to be pan-Hellenic, and this was what happened. His enemies used Pericles' friends as a way of indirectly getting at Pericles. The sculptor Pheidias was tried for stealing some of the gold intended to pay for the statue of Athena and was jailed despite his innocence. Aspasia was indicted for disrespect to the gods, but was not convicted. Such attacks also implicated Pericles. There were other influential politicians in Athens. These included Cimon and later Thucydides5, who both made policies which favoured the aristocrats. These rivals ensured that Pericles didn't have things his own way all the time. However, both rivals were eventually ostracised6, leaving Pericles with no real opponents. According to Thucydides the historian, Pericles was respected as incorruptible, wise, patriotic and forward-looking. He was nicknamed 'the Olympian' because of this and the majesty of his being. Fall in Popularity Towards the end of his life, Pericles was used as something of a scapegoat for Athenian losses in the war. Athens also suffered greatly during a plague which hit the city in the war's early years. Due to Pericles' strategy of abandoning the countryside and strengthening the guard of the city, Athens became full of people. As a result, the plague spread quickly. The people were angry and Pericles was fined, but they seem to forgive him, probably because they felt sorry for him - he had lost his sister, his sons by his first wife and other relatives and friends in the plague. He was re-elected general the following year. However, this stint as leader did not last, as Pericles too died of the plague in the autumn of 429 BC during the third year of the Peloponnesian War, to the great sorrow and detriment of Athens. For a fitting tribute to this great statesman, we leave the last word to the historian, Thucydides: Pericles indeed, by his rank, ability, and known integrity, was enabled to exercise an independent control over the multitude - in short, to lead them instead of being led by them; for as he never sought power by improper means, he was never compelled to flatter them, but, on the contrary, enjoyed so high an estimation that he could afford to anger them by contradiction... In short, what was nominally a democracy became in his hands government by the first citizen. More Information For further information on the Pericles and the Peloponnesian War, the reader is advised to consult Thucydides's work,

Dumpling Dojo is not only about serving great dumplings but also about art and tradition.
Dumpling making is a complicated art that requires the efforts of a small team to produce those meat and veggie-filled pouches of heaven. On special occasions my family would assemble in the kitchen where everyone would be assigned a task on our dumpling assembly line. My grandmother's expert hands skillfully kneaded the dough, my mother and aunts prepared the filling, and my brothers and I would use our tiny fingers to pinch the dumplings shut.
The art of dumpling making has been passed down through generations and has followed my family from China to USA. Over time some of our recipes have evolved to reflect a modern twist on traditional flavors. In 2012, I decided to share my culture, art, tradition and dumplings with you.
Take part in our tradition as we take you on a culinary journey from the main land to main street.
Be your own food ninja-Control your own elements
After practice Riyu gets hungry so he and his fellow yellow belts go to the nearest street vendor for the quickest meal. After lunch they return to the dojo, feeling sluggish and lacking energy, the team doesn't perform well. The Sensei is unhappy and sends the team home early. While the boys went to play Riyu was distraught. He stayed after to seek clarification from the Sensei. He said, "a meal is not about satisfaction, it's about sustenance."
Unaware of the actual meaning, Riyu finds his way home. Upon reaching home his Grandma notices the unenthusiastic look on his face, "what's wrong" she asks. Riyu explains their bad practice and lack of effort then goes on to tell her what the Sensei advised him of. He told me "A meal is not about satisfaction, it's about sustenance". She replies, He's absolutely right, your body is your machine, the food you put in it is your fuel, your nourishment, and your energy.
Grandma makes Riyu sit down at the table. She makes Riyu a hearty meal with high-energy foods, he's becomes intrigued with the various foods he can create that will provide him with energy and will enable him to perform at a higher level without feeling sluggish.
Grandma says, "you can eat anything you like just as long as it's made with the right ingredients." "The kitchen is your dojo, be your own food ninja and control your own elements."
