Staff at the front desk were very polite and curtious. I arrived to my appointment 15 min ahead of time and they took me in right away! NO WAIT! Amazing! Dr Weston was more concerned with my wellness than he was with how much money he would recieve from me. He took x-rays at no cost before any adjustments to make sure that chiropractic was the correct route. I was so happy with my choice of Dr's, I would definatly reccomend him to everyone I know!

Linguist (Okyeame) Staff
Southern and central Ghana and the Côte d'Ivoire have been ruled for several centuries by highly stratified kingdoms that use elaborate symbols of status. Among the Fante and the Akan, high-ranking advisers to the king called linguists (okyeame) carry gold staffs in royal processions. These staffs often have carvings at the top illustrating proverbs or messages from the king to his subjects. At the top of this staff, a mouse attempts to enter a pouch on a cat's back, illustrating the proverb "It is only a foolish mouse that tries to get into the cat's bag." In other words, it is an unwise person who dares to meddle in the king's business.

I think most of the world knows by now that the east coast of the US is anticipating Hurricane Irene 2011 in the next few days. She's making her way through our area on Sunday evening, according to this map.
A storm of this magnitude hasn't affected NYC in nearly 20 years, so this weekend, we're in one of the better, safer, drier, parts of New York state. Here in the Catskills it won't be as severe as the coastline—thankfully—but strong winds and floods in the forecast are not something to take lightly either. It's better to be safe than sorry, right? Right!
We went out to buy some essentials, just in case. Truthfully, we probably have 3-6 months worth of food and other essentials (and nonessentials), but just in case. Who knows, maybe someone around us will need something and we'd be able to help.
We stocked up on drinking/cooking water in case we lose our town water for whatever reason. Water is the #1 most important thing to have a good supply of. Remember: not too long ago, our water was shut off due to maintenance , so this is like déjà vu, or rather a reminder to have a decent stash of it. You can survive longer without food than you can without water. Make it a priority.
We also have a few 5-gallon jugs for our water cooler, so this extra was just in case. Then, we'll fill up our bathtubs for other water needs; flushing the toilet, washing hands, etc.
I have a decent amount of non-perishable foods, but I bought just a "few" more things. You know, just in case.
(The tuna pouches were on sale for $1.49 @ Price Chopper)
I bought this at Mother Earth's last week. I think we'll be fine as far as hydration goes.
Has anyone tried this with the splash of pineapple? I figure worse case scenario I'll just smoothie it, but it sounds good. When does pina colada sound bad? Not often!
Dried fruit, trail mix, etc. All good things to have on hand in power outages or if you have to evacuate quickly.
Portable, compact, nutritious, calorie-dense, tasty, no cooking required.
I received this delivery from Amazon yesterday. LOVE macadamia nuts! Also a great source of nutrition to have on hand or bring with you wherever you go.
Jenn's List of Storm Supplies and Preparations That You'll Be Glad to Have
We're all hoping that we won't need to resort to any of these living conditions, but when the worst happens—power outage, home damage, flooding, etc.,–it's smart to be as prepared as possible for roughing it for an indefinite amount of time. Just in case!!
If you're in an extreme threat level area (e.g., on the coast), don't risk it. Get out of harm's way instead of trying to ride it out. If you can, leave the area before it starts and go to some place safer. Waiting too long to leave can be just as bad if you run into flooding, falling trees, etc. Don't hesitate if you are in danger, just go. And take your pets with you if you have any!!!! Don't leave them behind, they will not be "ok" if flooding or other structural damage occurs.
Tips for Severe Weather and Power Outages
Evacuating? Keep these things in mind…
Our personal OH SH!T KITS
So what do Dustin and I have in our Oh SH!T KITS? Well, we have Oh Sh!t Kits ready at all times, long before this storm was in the forecast. We have three of them (one for each adult to carry) that contain a mixture of: clothes, non-perishable food and K-rations, bottled water, cash, coins, matches, address book with phone numbers and addresses, complete first aid kit with everything from rubbing alcohol to tweezers to tongue depressors, feminine hygiene products, compass, book of edible plants in nature, guns + ammunition, knives, soaps, cat food, flashlights, small bottles of vodka, lighters, garden-size shovel, gloves, hats, hand wipes, vitamins. If disaster should hit or the zombie apocalypse descends upon us, we're ready to go.
Hopefully none of us need to get into raw survival mode, but if this hurricane brings unrest to your nest, I hope these tips and ideas will help you get through it safely and smoothly.
On a lighter note, let's talk about food. Yummy, yummy food. For dinner I made pizza on sourdough bread with fresh heirloom tomatoes and provolone cheese:
Garlicky Sourdough Pizza
Makes 8-10 slices
Off to savor the convenience of civilization while we still have it. You never know when we might not!!
Are you getting a taste of Irene? Are you preparing for it? Do you have an Oh Sh!t Kit? If so, what's inside yours?

Convents, Évora
5 Reviews
5 Reviews
Favorite thing:
Convent located outside old city castle walls on the left side of the big cemetery main entrance. Road to bus station.
Inside cloisters and fountain. This building belongs to the Music School Eborae Musicae.
Favorite thing:
While visiting the Temple to Diana we passed by the Convento dos Loios and decided to visit there also. As you can see it has a nice decorative entrance arch with some statuary and inscriptions, including what looks to be a tomb in the floor. We entered and found to our surprise that the entire convent had been turned into a Pousada (see link)
The Pousada type hotels are to be found all over Portugal, they are historical buildings, castles, convents or others that the government has turned into hotels. A fantastic way to actually "live" a little bit of history. We checked out several dozen of them, hoping to stay in one or two, but they are way to pricey for us.
Favorite thing:
Located in the end of Serpa Pinto Street. The
Convento de Santa Clara, founded in 1452, isne of the oldest in the city
Favorite thing:
University Department for Music and Drama.
Go inside, ask the securitty guy just to see the garden and then go to the upper floor. Very nice old building. Old convent.
Favorite thing: This is inside the convent's garden after the orange trees. Messy area but don't be afraid. Eat some oranges. They're there to eat!

We'll see. He ate some monstrous knees from Franca and looked none the worse for wear afterwards.
We'll see. He ate some monstrous knees from Franca and looked none the worse for wear afterwards.
Jacob Schlottke---Gone too soon, and the world is a little less bright because of it. RIP, brother.
One, two, Evans is coming for you...
You be the judge I guess.
Sherk falls down like he did after catching the knee here I think BJ jumps on, hooks up his body triangle then squeezes and beats on his head until Sherk decides he's had enough and gives up the RNC.
I don't know what happened.
I wasn't really posting it to mislead, more just to show that for a certain amount of time after catching one of those knees Sherk had himself in a very bad position.
I think BJ Penn has too many ways to bea Sherk. Sherk is a better wrestler than Hughes IMO and is stronger and better conditioned with better striking. BJ is as good a striker standing, Sherk will get a takefown and then finish him by armbar or taking the back for RNC. I want Sherk to win but...he wont
Next you say Sherk will take him down and then finish him by armbar or RNC...I don't see Sherk submitting BJ. However, Sherk has never been submitted ever in his career. He's about as physically close to "unsubmittable" as is possible. He has no neck, and his limbs are short, and thickly muscled. Penn could finish him in the first two rounds, but after that, Sherk will take him. History backs me up on this one.
Jacob Schlottke---Gone too soon, and the world is a little less bright because of it. RIP, brother.
One, two, Evans is coming for you...
I think, and I see that I wrote this incorrectly , that Sherk will submit Penn.
Sadly I think the oppostie. Bj Penn will submit Sherk. Matt Hughes may have out wrestled them when they fought but that doesnt mean he is necessarily the better wrestler, he just was that day.
I think Matt Hughes is explosive and a cardio machine. I think Sherk is powerful and strong. While Hughes can explode through Sherk I think Sherk is actually the stronger of the two and I think he ws a little unsettled to be fighting in the UFC at that point in time and he was financially unable to train full-time as he does now. Tjat makeas a difference and I think the fight would turn out differently today.
I am also not taking away from Sherks sub defense, I just happen to think BJ Penn has a style very difficult for wrestlers to deal with. BJ Penn is 5'9 ish or so and very very long legged for his height.
On the ground he is very good at going for finsihes fromm the guard if he ends up there. If he gets the chance his best technique is basing on his arm and using his long legs to go from the guard to spinning to his opponetns back - he did it versus Caol Uno
George St Pierre impressed me mightily beause he sw that, entered Penns guard, punched him 3-4 times and exited before Penn could mount an offense. Brilliant. I dont think Sherk is as good a strategist as St Pierre - if he did that he could win.
More than likely stand up will be interesting. Sherk is short, yeah - but so what? Lots of short guys can trade really well and above what their height would indicate. Ask Mighty Mo about kaokalai (sp?) Penns takedown defense is good, not great. he can pummel and sprawl but that isnt enough really. Sherk is very good at puncing his way to double legs and switching off to a single failing that so I give him every chance to take down Penn, who IMO is a very talented fighter who loses motivation when things dont go his way. Sherk is stubborn when things dont go his way and because of that when it gets to the ground I think Sherk will go for broke, leave an opening and somehow get beaten there
I HOPE he wins. I really do. BJ Penn strikes me as arrogant and I like fighters like Sherk who worked their butts off to get where they are. Penn worked hard but he has a very take it or leave it attitude to me. I just think stylistically someone like St Pierre is the best guy to fight BJ Penn Sadly, I think Sherk isnt and I hope he proves me wrong and Im pulling for him to prove me wrong
Hard one to call for sure. I think the biggest questions should be about the two fighters' cardio. When B.J. Penn comes to fight in shape to go five rounds, he's very tough. On the flip side, Sean Sherk has always been a cardio machine. But now there's the steroid issue and the questions regarding how it may have played into his training.
I'm looking forward to this fight like I rarely do. If Penn comes to fight in shape (think he will) and Sherk looks like the old guy we know (hope he will) then this is going to be something. Watch that third round if Penn doesn't win via submission before it: That will be the one that decides who wins the decision. Can Penn keep up with the pace that Sherk will set through three?

OK place to work. Watch-out for egos trying to battle their way to the top instead of focussing on its people. That's why employee churn is high :). Company values are great, except that many of the original employees who created them have left. Now becoming an old schoolbook that no-one has time to read. Unfortunately because they really do stand for something.

Gavin DeGraw Performs on AMERICA'S GOT TALENT Tonight, 7/11
NBC's AMERICA'S GOT TALENT, the number one show of the summer, will present a special performance by Gavin DeGraw, singing his current single and album's title track, "Sweeter," during the live results show tonight, July 11 (9-10 pm ET). The evening will also include a high-energy performance by the urban circus TRACES, featuring elements of acrobatics, street performance, and contemporary music.
Gavin DeGraw is no stranger to the top of the charts. He first broke through with the 2003 release of his debut album, CHARIOT, which sold over a million copies, earned platinum certification, and yielded three hit singles: "I Don't Want To Be," "Follow Through," and the title-track, "Chariot." Gavin's self-titled second album debuted at No. 1 on the digital sales chart and at No. 7 on Billboard's Top 200 album chart in 2008, earning Gavin his first Top 10 album. It spawned the hit singles "In Love With A Girl," which Billboard dubbed "a rocking homerun," and the gold-certified "We Belong Together." In 2009, Gavin released FREE as a gift to his die-hard fans clamoring for recorded versions of Gavin's live favorites. DeGraw released his third studio album, SWEETER in September of 2011. The album's first single, "Not Over You," co-written with OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder, reached #1 on the Hot AC charts, was a top 10 hit on Top 40, and was recently certified double platinum. The album's second single, the title track "Sweeter," continues to climb the sales and radio charts and was most recently featured as the spotlight track in HBO's 2012 summer television air spot. www.gavindegraw.com
TRACES, the show that turns circus on its head, is about to enter its second thrilling year at New York's Union Square Theatre. Created by the Montreal-based troupe 7 Fingers, TRACES is the city's most acclaimed and groundbreaking circus. Stripping away everything you thought you knew about the Big Top, TRACES fuses the traditions of circus with the energy of street performance to create an explosive display of emotion and physicality set to the music of Radiohead, VAST, Blackalicious, and more.
The next live performance round of the show will air Tuesday, July 10 (8-10 pm ET) with twelve contestants competing for the $1 million dollar prize. The first round was completed last week with America voting through David Garibaldi and his CMYK's, Edon, The ScOtt Brothers and Shanice and Maurice Hayes.
"America's Got Talent" is produced by FremantleMedia North America and Simon Cowell's SYCO Television, and airs live from the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC). Simon Cowell, Cecile Frot-Coutaz ("American Idol"), Jason Raff, Ken Warwick ("American Idol") and Georgie Hurford-Jones are executive producers.
