Hyperactive children can wreak havoc on your nerves…however, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Yes, dealing with a hyperactive child can be very challenging, but it can also be rewarding when you see the positive results from all your hard work, dedication and love given to the child.
Hyperactive children cannot sit for a long period of time. They are always on the go and often find themselves in trouble at school, home and with their friends. Some children are hyperactive by nature; others may be that way because of their environment. Many children who are hyperactive also exhibit signs of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and struggle with paying attention for long stretches of time. So how do we deal with these children? Here are some techniques to try:
If your child exhibits unmanageable hyperactivity, you should see a doctor and have the child undergo appropriate testing to make a proper diagnosis for his behavior. Some children are given medication to control their behaviors. There are many resources available to help you and the child.

Your first love, your first kiss and your first relationship are all memorable things that you can look back and reminisce and giggle about with friends. But how easy is it to talk about with our children? Thanks to changes in technology and popular social media sites, dating today is a whole different ball game.
To make sure your children are following the right path and making good choices, sit down and talk with them and follow the tips below to ensure an easier conversation.
Take it seriously.
"These are their first relationships, and so they fall hard," said Rosalind Wiseman, an educator and author of Queen Bees and Wannabes. It's important not to dismiss your child's relationships just because he or she is a teenager. What your child learns now will set the stage for healthy relationships in the future.
Use the media.
Talking to your child about celebrity relationships like Rihanna and Chris Brown can be great teachable moments, according to Dr. Jeff Gardere, assistant professor at Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine in Manhattan and creator of the Healthy Divorce app. TV shows, movies and YouTube videos can all be used as a sounding board to talk about what healthy and unhealthy relationship look like – without it turning into another lecture.
Set the rules together.
Although you already know what the rules will be about dating, curfews, parties and driving, it's important to negotiate them together. So if your teen wants a 10 p.m. curfew, start at 8:30 p.m. and slowly increase the time when your child proves he or she can take on more responsibility.
Teach appropriate social media behavior.
So how can you make sure your kid isn't sexting his or her latest crush? You can't, according to Wiseman. So aside from confiscating cell phones, talk with your kid about what your family's values are when it comes to technology in the hopes that he or she will make the right decision.
Lead by example.
Experts agree that the way you and your spouse treat each other strongly influences your kid's relationship choices and how they will treat significant others in the future.
Face the truth.
The biggest obstacle parents have when dealing with dating is admitting that their child could be in a messy situation—as a target, victim, bystander or perpetrator, Wiseman said. Acknowledging this reality will allow you to keep the lines of conversation open and prepare your kid to respect and be respected.
Earth Day is a globally celebrated holiday that is intended to raise public awareness about a variety of environmental issues such as air and water pollution, climate change and habitat destruction. In the U.S. Earth Day has inspired the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Environmental Species Act and the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
We need to commit to protect our environment so we can all have clean air to breathe, clean water to drink and a neighborhood safe from toxins. By making small changes, such as using less water and electricity, cutting down on pollution from commuting, reusing and recycling and picking up trash, we can have a big impact on our environment and our lives.
What does Earth Day mean to you? For me, it means preserving the earth for the next generation. It is a time to plant trees, recycle and be green! Find ways that you can help keep the planet clean and help protect our environment. Happy Earth Day!
April is the time to raise awareness about child abuse and neglect. Advocates throughout the U.S. work hard to promote awareness and are the lifelines for victims of abuse and unstable families.
Child abuse is the physical, sexual or emotional mistreatment or neglect of a child. This abuse may be committed by a parent, caretaker or anyone who is responsible for the child's welfare. We as a community need to be aware of the signs of child abuse. If a child reports abuse to you, always take it seriously. If you suspect a child is being abused or neglected, you need to report it to either the local child protective services or law enforcement.
Keeping our children safe is only something we can do together, with the help of friends, neighbors and the community. As President Obama said, "All of us bear a responsibility to look after them, whether by lifting children toward their full potential or lending a hand to a family in need."
While April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, we need to protect our children year round. Our mission at KidsPeace is to give hope, help and healing to children, families and communities facing crisis. Our trauma-informed care is meant to bring out the best in children who have been through the worst. Protecting children and keeping them safe is our first priority. Make it yours!
Not only does winter bring snow and cold weather, but it also brings depression, mood swings and mental disorders. A new study was done that looked at and observed the search patterns of Google inquiries. Apparently, winter is a time where mental illnesses tend to increase. Who would have thought? We look forward to the summer not only for the sunshine, warmth, and the beach, but to bring positive thoughts and feelings.
The study appears in the May issue of The American Journal of Preventive Medicine. In both the United States and Australia, researchers found distinct seasonal patterns, high in winter and low in summer, in searches pertaining to anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, depression, suicide, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and schizophrenia.
Searches related to eating disorders varied the most — 37 percent higher in winter than summer in the United States and 42 percent higher in Australia. The smallest variations were in searches related to anxiety: 7 percent and 15 percent more common in winter than summer in the United States and Australia, respectively. The variations persisted after the researchers controlled for seasonal differences in Internet use, mentions of the diseases in news articles and other factors.
Such things as varying hours of daylight, variations in physical activity and seasonal changes in blood levels of vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids are known to affect the mood of a person.
I think I can speak for everyone when I say, bring on the summer time!
Spring has arrived: flowers are blooming, birds are chirping and warmer weather is on its way (or at least we hope so…). Now is the perfect time to become proactive and begin to think about your physical health and fitness. Not only is exercise good for the body, it's also good for the mind. Participating in exercise can help reduce stress as well as improve overall mental health benefits. So what better way to start than by hitting the gym or pavement, getting some fresh air outdoors and being on your way to a better and healthier you?
The following can benefit mental health, relationships and lead to a healthier and happier life overall.
Reduce stress. Take a walk or head to the gym for a quick workout. One of the most common mental benefits of exercise is stress relief. Exercise also increases concentrations of norepinephrine, a chemical that can moderate the brain's response to stress.
Mental, emotional and behavioral health is a critical component of a child's well-being. Almost one in five young children have one or more mental health disorders, and one in 10 has mental health problems that are severe enough to impair functioning at home, school or in the community. The good news is that children with behavioral health conditions and trauma histories can and do recover. Success in helping to improve their health requires family involvement.
Family involvement is essential to accelerate recovery. We tend to manage stressors better when we are not alone. There is a wealth of data supporting the importance of human connections for healing and the recovery from trauma or any mental health condition. As a health care professional, I know there is a clear connection between mind and body. The family is the key to the child's success.
But sometimes it can be difficult for parents to be a part of the child's treatment when they in fact are dealing with mental health issues themselves. They struggle to manage their parenting roles.
Being supported by an agency or health care facility that takes a whole family approach to supporting the child, their parents and other family members is essential. At times the parents may need special help to deal with their child. The clinician/mental health professional will work with the parents and child to help everyone develop new skills, attitudes and ways of relating to each other. Parents can take part in parent skills training. This helps parents learn how to deal with difficult situations and behaviors. Support groups can also help family members connect with each other. They know they are not alone, which is important since parents need this support as much as the child.
KidsPeace supports family involvement as evidenced in our wide array of services, programs and testimonials. As a parent you will be involved in your child's treatment from start to finish, through treatment team meetings, therapeutic home visits and family counseling to make sure you and your child are on the same page and ready to live in harmony after his/her return home.
We've all seen the 'Stop Texting' magnets stuck to the back of vehicles, and it puts things into perspective when you look at the statistics. In 2011, 3,331 people were killed in crashes involving distracted drivers; in 2010, it was 3,267, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
It has become more common than ever to see drivers texting while driving. But it's no longer just teens; adults play a huge role as well. According to a new survey done by AT&T, 49 percent of adults surveyed said they text and drive even though 98 percent of adult drivers surveyd said they know that distracted driving isn't safe. But the popular trend is on the uprise as six out of 10 drivers said they never texted behind the wheel just three years ago, said AT&T.
While the survey showed adults were more likely to engage in the bad habit, 43 percent of teens also said they were sending messages while behind the wheel. One of the most common reasons why teens text and drive is rather simple: most text-message users, the survey said, expect a reply within five minutes or less.
AT&T found that not having a parental rule against texting and driving is among the greatest predictors that a teen will send messages while driving. Other factors included whether a teen had a full- or part-time job, owned a smartphone or usually sent more than 100 text messages per day.
Find more information on distracted drivers or request a "Stop Texting" magnet from Lehigh Valley Health Network.

Glenshaw, PA -- Of more than 21,000 spirits tasted by industry expert F. Paul Pacult since he first reviewed rare whiskies, gins, rums, cognacs and vodkas beginning in 1989, Western Pennsylvania's own Boyd & Blair Potato Vodka was today rated as the highest ranked vodka in the world, according to Pacult. Here's what he said:
"Wow, this aroma comes flying out of the glass in waves of white potato, starch, and parchment; seven more minutes of aeration don't greatly alter the aromatic profile, but there is a noticeable deepening of the established scents, especially the raw white potato element. Entry is nothing short of luscious, semisweet, chewy, and smooth; midpalate adds cocoa bean, maple, and honey. Aftertaste is graceful, solid, and simply delicious. The best small-scale vodka I've had since the 45th Parallel. So sumptuous and tasty that it's spectacular tasted neat. Best non-Polish vodka available. AWESOME ACHIEVEMENT!"

So says a paraphrased quote from Mark Twain. I don't know anything about his culinary credentials, but his analogy was apt. With a bit of "learning" cauliflower can "graduate" into a variety of not only good, but good for you, dishes.
Ashley Cobb is a dietician in Summerville Medical Center's Nutrition Therapy Department who teaches heart-smart recipes to cardiac rehab patients. She agrees that this ancient vegetable, which was first cultivated over 2,000 years ago, is one of the most versatile. It can substitute, with a lower carb count, for both rice and potatoes. Cauliflower is an excellent source of Vitamin C; Folate, one of the B Vitamins; and dietary fiber. It can also be converted into other delectables such as bread sticks and pizza crust. And Ashley has some delightful recipe suggestions to prove it.
For CAULIFLOWER RICE, chop cauliflower florets and place in food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower is in tiny bits – don't let it turn to mush. Sauté on the stove top with a teaspoon or two of olive oil or nonstick cooking spray. You can make an especially good stir-fry with this rice, plus chicken, vegetables and Mrs. Dash's Salt Free Spicy Teriyaki Marinade.
For MASHED CAULIFLOWER, chop cauliflower into florets, steam in microwave or boil on stove top until fork tender. Drain off water and puree in a food processor. Add 1-2 minced garlic cloves, and a small amount of milk or plain Greek yogurt for smoothness and creaminess. You can use as is for a mashed potato substitute or use half potato and half cauliflower.
And now for CAULIFLOWER BREAD STICKS AND/OR PIZZA CRUST. This recipe should make enough bread sticks for two or one single pizza crust. Try it and if you like it as much as I think you will, multiply it to meet your needs. Preheat oven to 350F and line a tray with parchment paper or spray it with cooking spray.
¼ of a large head of cauliflower or 1½ cups grated
1 teaspoon olive oil
` 2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large egg, lightly beaten (or equivalent egg substitute)
4 ounces grated Mozzarella cheese, divided
½ teaspoon dried Italian herb seasoning, divided
Grate cauliflower and put in microwave-safe bowl and microwave uncovered until softened, about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally (don't add water or anything else); cool slightly. When softened add garlic, ¾ of the cheese, ¼ teaspoon of the herb seasoning and pepper. Stir to combine and spread on a sheet pan. Bake until set and starting to turn golden, about 30 minutes. For sticks, cut and separate. Top with remaining cheese and herbs Preheat broiler and broil until cheese melts. Cool about 10 minutes. For pizza, Ashley uses cooked chicken strips, fresh spinach and fresh tomatoes as her basic toppings, along with pizza sauce, cheese, Italian herbs and pepper. Broil 2-3 minutes.
She reminds us that to cook heart-healthy, think portion sizes, salt free seasonings and low fat cheese. Ashley also suggests cooking other vegetables in a variety of different ways. Now is the perfect season to try them fresh and experiment with roasting, lightly glazed with olive oil and seasonings or grilling outdoors. How about veggie shish ka-bobs?
Remember her mantra: If it's good for your heart, it's good for your whole body.

The End of an Era
And with that pivotal moment in her life --- my career as "mom" will come to an end. Oh, I realize that I will always be a mother, but the job description will definitely change. I will no longer be responsible for my children's well-being and teaching them to become independent; they have already grown up and become fine upstanding citizens who can make it just fine on their own. I will be trading in my role as disciplinarian for that of friend. And while I am very much looking forward to this new relationship, it is rather sad that my lifelong dream of becoming a "mommy" is now over.
I look back over these past twenty-five years and truly wonder where the time went. I remember when my oldest was three months old and I as I looked out our bay window in New York City and I saw a young toddler riding a tricycle I wondered aloud, Will she ever get that old? Will she ever be able to walk on her own and express her feelings in some other way than crying in the middle of the night? And here Megan is today waking up in the middle of the night with her own little girl. As I was raising my children, the days often seemed to drag, but somehow the years have passed much too quickly.
So tonight signals the end of an era. The end to a great run as parents to three amazing children. And now as we close the chapter on this particular book of life, I look forward to seeing what other adventure stories lie ahead.

Molly, congratulations to your daughter. She looks beautiful and I know you are so proud of her.
Good for you, looking forward to the next stage of your life. Empty nesting is underrated and a great time, in my opinion. My husband and I have been very happy during this last 10 years. We certainly love our daughter dearly, but it's still great. LOL

I am wistful for you, as I know this day will come for me sooner than I could imagine. However, I do have a list started of things I'm going to do once they move out. We dedicate our lives to raising them and catering to their every needs. Now it is your turn.

Oh Molly,
I so love the way you write and how you invite us into your world and share this last milestone. She's beautiful and you're such an awesome mother. I often wonder too how the years have gone by so fast.

What a beautiful friend you have raised. What a blessing to have her sing to honor your mom and her Gram. That's a memory that will be cherished by so many.
I went kicking and screaming into this stage of life but with time I have come to embrace the changes. I fill my cup with kiddos at school, with my reading, friends, church, family,and journaling. I adore bike rides with my husband, day-trips and impulsive adventures that he conjours up to help me enjoy a new chapter of life.
Thanks for sharing another portion of yourself. Breathe slowly. Inhale. Exhale. Enjoy.

You should feel so proud that you did a wonderful job as a parent. All of your kids seem happy and living fulfilling lives. Your daughter is so lovely and what poise to sing in front of 500 people!! I know I couldn't do it. I think you'll find the next phase of motherhood very fulfilling too.

You have such a beautiful daughter. I have another five years until my girl will graduate from high school and then leave the house. Sigh - only five short years.
This is such a beautiful post, Molly. I really love what you wrote.

Your daughter is beautiful, Molly, and certainly a bit more grown up than "Hermione" of just a few months ago. Sigh. Enjoy the graduation to come and the months ahead. You've done a good job as a parent and what will be will be.

What a beautiful post! I have to admit that from where I'm at that seems like such a long time from now. Then I think of how quickly the past ten years have gone and I know it will all pass by sooner than I can imagine.

It does go by so fast. One minute they are in diapers and the next they are in college. My youngest is graduating this year too. So I am doing the "last of everything" routine as well - last orchestra concert, last day of public school, last ceremony, etc. With only having 2 children, I realized this year that everything has double meaning: everything for me was either the first time or the last time. No inbetween. My youngest is packing up her room to leave for summer job and college in fall and its weird to think I can finally move and only haul around my stuff. Good luck getting through graduation.

Herbert and Catherine Schaible asked God to heal their 8-month-old baby son with magic while he spent days struggling to breathe. He died last week. They were still on probation for manslaughter after letting their two-year-old son die of pneumonia in 2009 under similar circumstances: they sought the aid of supernatural beings with magical powers rather than doctors with medical degrees.
Imagine Herbert and Catherine Schaible had killed a toddler in 2009 with a savage beating or by neglecting it in favor of watching Star Trek DVDs for a week straight while it coughed itself to death. Would they have gotten probation for that or would they still be sitting in prison today? How likely is it that, once placed in the hands of a jury, Herbert and Catherine Schaible will ever spend time in prison for killing the second of two small children with religiously motivated medical neglect?
You might want to Google similar cases before you post your thoughts on the matter.

@Professor Robert
WTF do you mean whipping horse? If you in anyway disagree that the Catholic church as an entity, as a whole, should not be dismantled for the vast molestation cover-up then you are one twisted fuck, or you are ignorant of the facts. So which is it?
@JimmyRussell, we Americans killed an awful lot of children and their families in a trumped up war with Iraq, including a large intelligence cover-up or at least blunder.
We also enslaved and oppressed people forcibly kidnapped from Africa, nearly exterminated an indigenous population, on and on... Lots more kids experiencing a lot more suffering.
Do you think that America as an entity, as a whole, should be dismantled?
Yeah, actually I do. I think we could use a huge re-write on a lot of the fucked up shit we do. Now answer the fucking question.
"The scale of abuse cases [in the Catholic Church sexual abuse scandal] was on the order of those that occur in the general population worldwide, among coaches and teachers and others." - Professor Robert
I presume Robert you are busy gathering the substantial amount of data required to back your extraordinary claim above. I'm sure no "true" Christian would ever distort the truth on a global scale (a mortal sin) to join other men in protecting child rapists.
You mentioned your involvement and familiarity with the Massachusetts investigation? Let's take a look at the "scale of the abuse cases" in that state and ensure everyone knows just how high you've set the bar for yourself.
Below are several excerpts from the official findings of the Executive Summary and Scope of Investigation into the Sexual Abuse ... as produced by Office of the Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Note, according to you, the secret child-rapist trafficking operation the Catholic Church operated in Boston occurs worldwide and on the same scale among the general population of coaches, teachers, and other occupations you have yet to specify. (The subtext being: Jeepers! Everybody does it! It's no big deal.)
From the Findings of the Report
"Top Archdiocese officials regularly addressed and supported the perceived needs of offending priests more than the needs of children who had been, or were at risk of being, abused. Top officials whose actions are detailed include: Cardinal Bernard Law, Bishop Thomas Daily, Bishop Robert Banks, Bishop Alfred Hughes, Bishop William Francis Murphy, and Bishop John McCormack."
- - - -
"The Attorney General's investigation revealed that the magnitude of the Archdiocese's history of clergy sexual abuse of children is staggering. Records produced by the Archdiocese reveal complaints regarding at least 789 victims. When information from other sources is considered, the number of alleged victims who have disclosed their abuse likely exceeds one thousand. The magnitude of the Archdiocese's history of clergy sexual abuse is equally shocking if evaluated in terms of the number of priests and other Archdiocese workers alleged to have sexually abused children since l940. The investigation revealed allegations of sexual abuse of children made against at least 237 priests and thirteen other Archdiocese workers. Of these 250 priests and other Archdiocese workers, 202 allegedly abused children between l940 and l984, with the other forty-eight allegedly abusing children during Cardinal Law's tenure as Archbishop."
- - - -
"There is overwhelming evidence that for many years Cardinal Law and his senior managers had direct, actual knowledge that substantial numbers of children in the Archdiocese had been sexually abused by substantial numbers of its priests."
- - - -
"Not only did the Archdiocese quietly transfer abusive priests to other parishes within the Archdiocese, but it also placed children at risk by accepting priests from other dioceses with full knowledge that they had a history of being accused of sexually abusing children."
- - - -
The Archdiocese also arranged for or assented to the transfer of sexually abusive priests so that they could work or reside in other dioceses in the country or abroad. The motivation for these transfers appears to have been to prevent further scandal within the Archdiocese and to accommodate the wishes of the alleged abusers.

"The Attorney General's Criminal Bureau initiated a grand jury investigation during the early summer of 2002 because of the slow pace at which the Archdiocese was producing records; the Archdiocese's refusal to voluntarily produce certain categories of important documents, including medical and psychological records of priests evaluated or treated for pedophilia and ephebophilia, correspondence with the Vatican and Papal Nuncio, and related matters; and the fact that important witnesses either had refused to submit to voluntary interviews or had placed unacceptable restrictions and conditions on voluntary interviews." [NOTE: Cardinal Law left the country in December 2002. He now lives in Rome.]
- - - -
"[T]he Archdiocese has shown an institutional reluctance to adequately address the problem and, in fact, made choices that allowed the abuse to continue."
- - - -
For at least six decades, three successive Archbishops, Bishops and others in positions of authority within the Archdiocese operated with tragically misguided priorities. They chose to protect the image and reputation of their institution rather than the safety and well being of the children entrusted to their care. They acted with a misguided devotion to secrecy. And they failed to break their code of silence even when the magnitude of what had occurred would have alerted any reasonable, responsible manager that help was needed.
- - - -
[The last quotation below brings us full circle. Why is any of this relevant to my original point in this thread? Why did no clergy ever serve a day in prison for failing to report suspected child sexual abuse?]
"Although evidence gathered during the investigation establishes that senior Archdiocese managers did not report suspected child sexual abuse to public authorities, the state's child abuse reporting law is not applicable because it was not expanded to include priests until 2002."
I think there are two problems here with getting the professor to address the facts head on. The first is that he is Catholic, and as such has spent his life surrounded by pedophiles, so they seem perfectly normal to him. As such, he believes that every corner of society is filled with pedophiles and the raping of children is just a fact of life - although he says he is appalled by it.
The second is that when pinned down he demands incontrovertible proof of any and all claims made that seem derogatory to his cult - yet when asked for evidence of any claims he has made against other organizations (which he thinks, in some twisted way, exonerates his cult) he tosses out faded memories of obscurely referenced articles or vaguely references conversations he has had with authorities in various fields. This is standard behavior for all theists - always demanding impossible levels of proof that their gods do not exist while 'overturning' any level of evidence thrown at them with vague, inaccurate, anecdotal recollections.
Actually Heather, I don't think Professor Robert can address facts head on. Originally I felt he was just another oleaginous sycophant, a man who puts the 'apology' in apologetics. But having read more of his contributions, I have found that I genuinely feel sorrow for him, as he is so desperately trying to defend the indefensible. In that it appears that cognitive dissonance is so deeply embedded in his psyche, I'm gently stepping back from any further attempt at interaction.
I hope he takes his beliefs with him to his grave, because an awakening to reality may very well have detrimental impact on his core psyche. Again, this is a situation where I am glad that he will never have to face the fact he is so utterly wrong - the oblivion that follows death will be a real kindness.
@ Heather and Strega;
I enjoy your comments ladies.
Poor Bob may he rest in oblivion.
@ Heather and Strega; I enjoy your comments ladies.
They're two of TA's finest posters.
I think there are two problems here with getting the professor to address the facts head on.
You nutshelled it. Robert's position is too weak to withstand an honest debate. So he uses the standard two step process. 1. Lie or exaggerate. 2. When challenged respond with more dishonesty or pull out the big gun: cowardice (don't respond at all).

going on my first hunting trip next week with my two sons. We are using a guide service and we are hoping to get some wild boars. I'm still contemplating what to shoot? Considering a Mosin M39, a Swiss K31 or a Saiga 12 guage. Any should get the job done. What do you think?
Any suggestions on recipes? Will probably have a barbeque for some of it.

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky.---The Chattanooga Mocs (4-7) lost 87-71 at Northern Kentucky (2-8) Sunday afternoon despite a career-high 29 points from junior forward Martynas Bareika (Kedainiai, Lithuania). Bareika' 3pt shooting kept the Mocs in it early.
NKU used a 25-7 run to open the second half to take control of the game. Dean Danos capped the run with a three at 13:36 to extend the lead to 67-45. Ronrico White (Knoxville, Tenn.) ended the spurt with two free throws just 24 seconds later.
The Norse led the rest of the way. The Mocs got within 13 late on two Bareika free throws, but that is as close as it would get.
"They just stirred our defense up and drove us at-will to the basket," Head Coach Will Wade said. "They did a good job of driving us. They were quicker than us and really took us off the bounce. They spread us out, drove us and shot a high percentage against us.
"Pretty much the same game plan as Morehead State had against us," he added. "We tried to play some zone, and we got a couple of stops in the zone, but we couldn't rebound the ball out of the zone.
"I think 71 points should be enough to win a lot of games, but we just couldn't get stops."
Bareika's 24 led all scorers. He also set new career highs in field goals made (7), attempted (14), free throw made (12) and attempted (13). Casey Jones (New Orleans, La.) added 10 points and a game-high seven rebounds.
Jordan Jackson's 16 points, six rebounds, three assists and three steals led NKU. He led six double-figure scorers joined by Jalen Billups and Anthony Monaco with 12 apiece, and Danos, Tyler White and Jake Giesler with 10 each.
Chattanooga got off to a fast start leading by as many as 10 in the opening minutes. Alex Bran's (Memphis, Tenn.) four-point play at 15:52 gave his squad a 14-4 advantage.
The Norse stormed back with a 12-0 run taking its first lead on a four-point play of its own by Cole Murray. That made it 16-14 with 12:40 to go until the break. NKU led by as many as eight in the opening frame before settling for a 41-38 halftime margin.
The Mocs played without leading scorer and rebounder Z. Mason (Nashville, Tenn.). Mason, who is among the Southern Conference leaders averaging 18.6 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, missed today's contest with a foot injury.
NKU shot 66.7 percent (32-48) from the field, 58.3 percent (7-12) from 3pt range. It shot 70.6 percent (17-24) in the second half. The Norse won the battle of the boards 33-22 and got 43 of its 87 from their bench.
Chattanooga finishes the pre-holiday portion of the schedule on the road Wednesday at UAB. Game time is 8 p.m. (ET) and can be listened to live on ESPN 105.1 FM the Zone in Chattanooga, or go to the men's basketball schedule page on GoMocs.com for links to audio (free) and live stats.

"I feel so much better on the feet, hitting guys and ending the fight early," said Pierce, who believes those skills could come in handy if he gets the opponent he wants for his next bout Jake Shields, who recently outpointed Tyron Woodley at UFC 161.
"Man, that guy, he's tough," Pierce said of the former Strikeforce middleweight champ and current UFC welterweight. "He's good on the ground, but he's definitely got parts of his game that play to my strengths, and I definitely think he's beatable. He's certainly a relevant fighter right now."
Relevancy is what Pierce seeks after spending a good portion of his UFC career on preliminary cards, where exposure and sponsorship money are slim. And he's taking an active role in the process by requesting opponents rather than waiting for the UFC to assign them.
He added that Jake Ellenberger and Carlos Condit would also be great challenges. All three of his requests are significant steps up in stature, but to him, they're interchangeable.
"I don't care who it is, as long as it's a relevant fighter that's going to get me on that path to that right direction," said Pierce. "I just think Jake Shields is the right guy to do that.
"Of course, I realize how old I am, and you can't fight forever, unless you find the fountain of youth that Randy Couture had, you're fight career is not going to last that long."
The recent knockout is one more piece of evidence for Pierce's case in getting the UFC to think of him as an exciting fighter to invest in, rather than a dull wrestler to place on preliminary cards. But ultimately, his fate is in UFC matchmakers' hands.
Pierce said his attempts to get an audience with talent guru Joe Silva have been challenging.
"'Sure, he's a busy guy,'" the fighter said of requests. "It almost seems like it's in passing."
Still, you won't hear Pierce complaining about his pay or place on the card, despite its inherent challenges.
"It's a big deal to me, because I want to be on the main card," he said. "But at the same time, it's still fun to get out there and do what I love and come out with a win, and hopefully move back to the main card, where I think I belong."

Vegetable noodles are all the rage these days. Lately I have seen them everywhere – from restaurant menus and home recipes or blogs, as an alternative to regular gluten-free pasta. I've tried making a variety of vegetable noodles – from cucumber, zucchini, spaghetti squash and so on. I find myself always going back to the carrot noodle.
There are a variety of ways to make a vegetable noodle. I personally use this one vegetable peeler called the Titan Peeler (I found mine at Bed Bath and Beyond and Amazon). The package comes with two different peelers. One peels the vegetable like normal, and the other peeler (the wider one) peels the vegetable in 'strings' or noodles.
How to Make Carrot Noodles
1) Buy a 5 lb. bag of carrots (For 2-3 people, I normally end up using 3 lb.)
2) Wash and peel the carrots with the smaller Titan peeler or a regular vegetable peeler.
3) Using the wider Titan peeler, peel the carrot like normal over a bowl. The wider Titan peeler will peel the carrot into thin noodles.
Note: You won't be able to peel down the entire carrot with the Titan peeler. Save your fingers from being cut, and use the leftover carrots for other snacks; such as carrot rounds and hummus.
Once you have the amount of carrot pasta you are seeking, there are a variety of ways you can prepare it.
Ideas for Recipes Using Vegetable Noodles
- Toss the carrot noodles with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey and thyme for a Raw Honey Balsamic Carrot Salad.
- Roast the carrot noodles on a baking sheet with your desired oil and spices at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
- Sauté the carrot noodles on your stove top in butter, ground thyme, and smoked paprika until tender.
- Raw Carrot and Parsley Salad
- Roasted Carrot Pasta with Beets
- Zucchini Noodles and Meatballs
- Zucchini Noodles with Avocado Cream Sauce
- Zucchini Noodles with Spinach Pesto, Feta and Sunflower Seeds

DHS Statement from DHS Press Secretary Sara Kuban on Dec. 27 Northwest Flight 253 Incident
A passenger on today's Northwest flight 253 from Amsterdam to Detroit spent an unusually long time in the aircraft lavatory. Due to this unusual behavior, the airline notified TSA and the agency directed the flight to taxi to a remote area upon landing to be met by law enforcement and DHS. The passenger in question, a Nigerian national, was removed from the flight and interviewed by the FBI; indications at this time are that the individual's behavior is due to legitimate illness, and no other suspicious behavior or materials have been found.

The Ashley Ridge baseball team is being forced to forfeit several games due to a rules violation.
On Tuesday, Ashley Ridge Athletic Director/Assistant Principal Bobby Behr confirmed the South Carolina High School League has imposed sanctions on the Swamp Fox baseball program after it was determined the AR varsity team played an athlete last spring who wasnt eligible.
The program had to forfeit all games in which the player participated and the school has been fined $2,500. Behr said he doesnt know exactly how many games the player participated in, but he participated in the majority of them.
The player began last school year at Summerville High School and transferred to Ashley Ridge when his family moved into the AR attendance zone. However, he was on probation at SHS when he transferred and high school league bylaws state, in order to be eligible to participate with an athletic team at the new school, a transfer student must be in good academic standing with the former school and eligible to play at the former school.
We followed normal eligibility procedures but when we approved him to play we didnt know he wasnt eligible at the school he came from, Behr said. I made a mistake and I feel bad for the kids on that team.
The forfeits could have been avoided had there been communication between the two Dorchester District Two schools prior to the paperwork on the transfer being filed and approved by the high school league. Even after the transfer student played in a game against the Green Wave, no official complaint was made by SHS officials.
It was a parent who brought the matter to the attention of school district and high school league officials.
The player at the center of the matter participated in fall workouts with the Green Wave baseball team last school year. He and three other athletes were disciplined after it was determined they were involved in an incident that violated team and school district rules. The incident occurred prior to a fall workout held at DuBose Middle School.
One of the students was assigned to the Givens Alternative Program and the other three were placed on probation. As part of their probation, they were told they could not participate in any SHS athletic programs for the remainder of the school year.
Robert Heaton, the parent of one of the other athletes placed on probation, didnt think it was fair that three of the athletes who were disciplined had to sit out an entire year while another was allowed to play so he contacted school district and high school league officials to complain.
Among his concerns is that the transfer student, who he says made the same mistake his son did, will have an extra season to impress college scouts that the other three athletes wont have.
The sanctions imposed on the AR program will not affect the Swamp Foxes 2015 baseball season. The team will be eligible for the playoffs. However, Behr says the teams preseason activities will be affected.

I spent yesterday morning walking around Valdivia, discovering some of the city's unique qualities. There's a bustling, but very manageable downtown area, a shady central park, river walkways and outdoor markets, a university campus with a beautiful botanical garden, and much more I haven't gotten to explore yet. The city is heavily influenced by the Germans and you can see it in the architecture, with lots of modern buildings, brightly painted wooden houses, pubs and at least one brewery.

I woke up this morning in Valdivia, the principal city in this southern province of Chile. Quite a beautiful one, situated at the juncture of four rivers: Rio Calle Calle, Rio Valdivia, Rio Cruces, and the Rio Cau Cau. I arrived here around 7:00 pm last night and as we drove past the Rio Valdivia, lined with a beautiful walkway, it was full of strollers, kids playing, and crowds gathered around food and beverage stands, giving it a holiday feel. The river was full of crew boats, kayaks, and tour boats which take visitors around the various rivers to the nearby forts, cloud forests and other attractions for which the region is known.

This dangerous rider was not included in the House-passed CR, and we are extremely disappointed to see that Senator Mikulski has included it in the Senate version. Thanks to our pressure Senator Tester has introduced an amendment (#74), co-sponsored by Senators Boxer, Gillibrand, and Leahy, to strike the rider from the Continuing Resolution.

Google Book Search has an incredibly useful new feature that lets you build a virtual library of your favorite books. You can import the books if you have a list of ISBNs or search them and click on "Add to library".
Your library has a public URL you can share with other people (here's mine) and even a feed. You can also write reviews, rate the books or categorize them using tags. Probably the most important reason you should build the library is because it becomes searchable. Imagine being able to find a scene from one of your books without knowing its title and by typing some keywords that describe the scene. Of course, Google didn't index all the books in the world, so many of your favorite books aren't yet searchable.
Another new feature is the "cover view", a way to only see the book covers and leave out the additional details. To find the author and the title of a book, hover over its cover.
Book summaries also show popular fragments quoted by other books. "Digitized text is useful beyond search, too. It enables us to infer connections between books through shared passages. (...) You can discover connections between books through quotations like this in a feature we call Popular passages," notes the Google blog.
New York Times reports that Google will also add a way to view the full text of some copyrighted books, but I hope this won't end up like Google Video Store. "This fall, Google plans to start charging users for full online access to the digital copies of some books in its database, according to people with knowledge of its plans. Publishers will set the prices for their own books and share the revenue with Google. So far, Google has made only limited excerpts of copyrighted books available to its users." I discovered this new feature in January in a Google page that describes how it works: "With online access, users who discover a book through Google Book Search will be able to pay for immediate access to its full contents. (...) The book will be available to users only through their browser, and only when they've signed in with their personal account. Users cannot save a copy on their computer or copy pages from the book."

From the Archives: Creation, Evolution, and Christian Laypeople, Part 1
From 2012: Many secular and many evangelical voices agree on one 'truism'—that if you are an orthodox Christian with a high view of the authority of the Bible, you cannot believe in evolution in any form at all. New Atheist authors such as Richard Dawkins and creationist writers such as Ken Ham seem to have arrived at consensus on this.

Why the Church Needs Multiple Theories of Original Sin
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong.

It's eminently easy "in God's name" to demand things of people as a pre-requirement for acceptance by God—things which Christ himself never demanded.
God's Extravagant Love in Creation
Critics of Christianity look to evolution to show how the emergence of human life on earth demanded enormous ruin and ravage, billions of years of apparent waste and futility, species extermination and organism road kill. Not only was the massive dying off rampant, it's mandatory too.
Belief in God in an Age of Science: John Polkinghorne, Part Three
The gift of Love must be the gift of freedom, the gift of a degree of letting-be, and this can be expected to be true of all creatures to the extent that is appropriate to their proper character. It is in the nature of dense snow fields that they will sometimes slip with the destructive force of an avalanche. It is the nature of lions that they will seek their prey. It is the nature of cells that they will mutate, sometimes producing new forms of life, sometimes grievous disabilities, sometimes cancers.

When the weather's fair, TangerineBadger goes outside to enjoy her meal over the Sunday papers. Most weekends she'll sit on her veranda while she eats. If it's an especially gorgeous day, she'll consider going slightly farther afield.
Step 2: Searching for the ideal location
Step 3: Scenery is important
Step 4: A cosy little spot on the hillside
Ideally, she'll abseil down a sheer cliff face to a cosy cranny that's sheltered from harsh, champagne-warming sunlight and distracting, newspaper-rustling breezes. Once she's in the perfect position, she'll nestle snugly into the tailor-made harness sewn into the fabric of her pyjama trousers, kick back and finally enjoy her morning meal in comfort and style.
Ah, brunch.
Mental, love it. I'd say I'm gonna try this but I'm really not. :)
It was hilarious for us, so I'm glad you're enjoying reading about it :)
and @Biggsy I'm stealing those hands for later;)
No-one eats cornflakes any more. Everyone knows that a bran based cereal is better for you, particularly on a Sunday morning.
Otherwise this is a most excellent and entertaining instructable. Great job!
Also, one of the rolls was seeded wholemeal, and full of nutritional goodness.
Thanks for your kind comment. We had fun!
Get some bacon and eggs while climbing, AWESOME!!
Be careful, obviously, but have fun!
hoist a fully loaded tray up after me obviously with plastic plates and cutlery. mabey just cling film over the plates to prevent a spill.
should be fun :D
That's reason enough for us.
I feel like being had …
Still have to find a way to have breakfast in a different way …
(maybe just another recipe ?…)
It wasn't real in that it was glued down and I didn't eat any of it.
This is more about taking the idea of brunch, and moving it somewhere totally unexpected. I'm sorry that our illusion fooled you!
(Well, I'm not really sorry, more proud ;-))
But if you want a recipe for very real eggs benedict I'd be happy to email you mine.
It was only the wording "brunch on the rocks" that fooled me. I thought of another type of beverage for my brunch.
That's all.
Then again your performance on real rocks impressed me… But I thought it would go without saying.
But then everybody has to go : I may be famous for a few seconds in world history.
A) You guys *totally* fooled me,
B) Beyond just the kudos on that, the glass of champagne is BRILLIANT if you ask me. I saw that and was like, "Wow! That's really going the extra mile!" =D
C) Just amAZing work goin' rock climbin' in your jammies. ^_^
I've been learning how to unicycle, and once I get good enough, I'm totally gunna make myself one of these, and just cycle around enjoying a good brunch, and maybe even the paper. ;D
For reals, this instructable just totally filled my tummy with giggles and absolutely made my day more smiley! If I could give hugs through computers, you'd both get a big hug right now! =D
B) Thank you! We were rather chuffed with that idea ourselves.
C) Thank you again. I'm really happy we made you smile, and lots of hugs back to you!
PP can unicycle, while I gave up after a few scared attempts. However, I'd love to live vicariously through you and see pictures!
It all looks so appetising, too! I was thinking "Wow this girl really enjoys a good breakfast!"
You SO need to take that tray onto a rollercoaster or log flume ride at Alton Towers or somewhere and get your picture taken :D
It'll look something like this
I'm going to add this ible to my favorites.
Sometimes I need to make fake things for some film set .
My main two tips from this project: you can never have enough gelatine or superglue ;-)
(one for each of you ;-) )
At the first possible opportunity, we'll both high-five the monitor together :-)
I am not in any way responsible for any damages that you may incur when claiming your high five. These include but are not limited to, damage to computers, wrists electrocution, surprise, and bouts of uncontrollable laughter
Top stuff, much appreciated this bank holiday.

Comments about Patagonia Better Sweater Full-Zip Hoody (Women's):
I have both the regular better sweater and the hooded one. I wear them all the time. To the gym, for walks outside, as a second layer for cold and snowy days. It is not wind resistant but very soft and comfortable and looks great. And being a very active 60 yr old it looks great at any age.

I have the hoody and the half-zip. I wear one or the other practically every day. Best article of clothing I own. In cooler temps, I wear it under a down sweater vest or over a long-sleeve tech shirt. Warmer temps I can layer over a tank and be perfectly comfortable.

How to Pick the Best Produce

- Overview
- Kiwis

More Food Lists
The best isn't always the prettiest. Imperfections can be attractive, hinting at surprising sweetness and depth of character.
We're talking about food, by the way. Too many supermarkets sell produce bred not just for taste but to withstand shipping—it's well-shaped, but not flavorful. You want your fruit to be naturally voluptuous; the farmer's daughter, not the plasticized porn star.
Employ your senses. Look: Prime fruits and vegetables are often irregularly shaped and blemished. Touch: Heavy, sturdy fruits and vegetables with taut skin are freshest. Smell: Many fruits can be sniffed for ripeness. And shop seasonally; the foods are tastier and cheaper.
We asked Aliza Green, the author of Field Guide to Produce, how to find the best.

A poor run of form has seen the Potters dragged into a tussle for Premier League survival and they are now just three points above the drop zone.
Pulis believes the solution to their current struggles is not complicated - it requires hard work and rebuilding confidence.
"We have to keep working hard and believe," he said, quoted in the Daily Mirror.
"As a manager I'll keep fighting on. I have never been relegated as a manager but that's in the past.
"We have to look to the future and the important thing is getting the players' confidence together."

When choosing insurance, make sure chiropractic needs are included
(NewsUSA) - As budgets tighten, many American households are being forced to cut expenses, including health insurance. However, cutting health insurance is a potentially risky and expensive choice.
The fact is, if you live in the U.S., you need health coverage. Often, medical and hospital fees are higher for the uninsured, and even a small accident, like a broken arm, can quickly add up to large medical bills. If you have children, they need regular physician visits and vaccinations -- services that can be pricey without insurance.
Blue Shield of California, a California-based health plan that works to create affordable healthcare plans, offers these tips to families making health coverage choices:
- Shop around. Typically, health coverage through your employer is the most economical way to go, but it's not always available for small businesses or part-time employees, or it simply may not fit all of your family's needs. When looking into other options, be sure to shop around and do your research. Compare plan benefits and read the details to understand coverage, and ask questions before applying. Compare costs for all possible expenses, including monthly rates, out-of-pocket maximums, and extras like vision and dental coverage.
- Don't select a plan based only on the monthly rate. The lowest monthly rate doesn't always provide you with the coverage that's right for you. If your children are ready for vaccinations, find a plan that has low co-payments for multiple doctor visits. If you are planning on expanding your family, carefully check maternity benefits.
- Assess your needs. Make a list of all the services you and your family use, such as preventive care, physical therapy, chiropractic care and prescriptions. Find out how the plans you like best will cover these services and the cost to you.
- When choosing a health plan, make sure you know the doctor and facility choices available. Look for a health plan that has a provider network that suits your needs. Also, when choosing a new doctor, research his or her track record or look for feedback. There are many online resources that offer help with this.
