By the Higher Self of Carolyn Gervais Author of: I Dreamed I Was Human http://www.idreamediwashuman.com
The spiritually astute and the non-astute are what make up the many diverse relationships that most people cannot avoid interaction with, unless one lives in a cave. Astute here means being aware on the many levels of the soul and mind that produces thought and evokes wisdom. Wisdom though cannot be evoked without discernment and contemplation. The kind of wisdom gained from one's discernment and contemplation is dependent on how unbiased beliefs and views are. The more unbiased personal views and beliefs are the more compassionate and open is the human heart—which in turn determines how aware a person is on the levels of soul. This takes self- honesty and a real desire to understand all the evil that prejudice, fear and anger create. That is what astuteness is, the ability to see beyond what does not enhance or nurture life.
Human existence is at war on the many levels of the psyche, in other words, with itself, because everything you see and experience with your five senses is really a distortion of what is truly there. Why? The five senses are controlled by a person's programing, including their experiences and personal beliefs that can hide everything that does not substantiate one's ideal identity of self, which includes anything or anyone that triggers personal feelings, beliefs and fears. Wisdom is from the soul aspect or higher self that makes up the context of life. When the context of life is tapped into, it gradually enhances and broadens the content of life and enriches everything.
The world is a battle field because of the old energy that demands complete control over everything and everyone so as not to face that which the old energy fears losing or never having. It is the old energy of prejudice and greed that wants to crush and destroy anything it believes might crush and destroy it, so the old energy does not hesitate to strike first no matter how premature. This is the mentality of hate, resentment, fear, greed and the need to control which destroys human dignity, self- worth, kindness, love, brotherhood and the desire to serve others. As you have witnessed, this behavior is extremely destructive to peace in any of its forms.
Everyone has played a role in manifesting the world you see and experience with all your human senses. Seeing fear and desperation and therefore reacting in a way that manifests more fear and evil in the world only adds to the problem. It may not seem easy, but each person needs to look long and deep into the fears, needs, wants and prejudices that beliefs have created and have manifested in each life, personally and otherwise.
What experiences manifest for each is determined by your conscious and unconscious beliefs, perceptions and choices and also by what has been hidden with self-denial and blame. Blame and denial hide you from you no matter how just the blame and denial appear to be. Blame and denial are no longer an option.
It's time to stop blaming the mythical God each has created in their own personal image—for all the suffering one experiences in life. Look at it this way, with your free-will you created your version of God with your human mind and that is the God you believe in. How hard can it be then, to realize that you too create your own life and the experiences that help you to evolve, not because there isn't a powerful creative force that created you and gave you free-will, but because there is.
The people that societies deem as a throw away because they seem lazy, ignorant, uneducated, unworthy, poverty stricken and low class—are the societies that keep oppressed people, suppressed and trapped in the darkness of hopeless despair and abandonment, simply because they were born into a dilemma or environment that offers little to no escape from suffering. Causing them to feel smothered, severely confined and desperate to break free from that environment, just like a wild animal would feel if caged. Those who have not experienced that kind of desperation, rejection and suffering don't have any idea as to how they would react in such a depleted and depleting environment, and yet there are those that judge what they have no capacity to understand and call it a justifiable attack, even though they are not the ones being attacked. Why? They fear that somehow those they view as a throw away will somehow eventually lessen or take away the exorbitant life style they have become overly attached to.
It is time for humanity to wake up to the absolute truth that you are all made from the same energy source. No one has less and no one has more of the creative energy than anyone else or anything else. You each choose experiences that will push or nudge you to look inward so that you will master the human condition through personal life experiences. Experiences chosen unconsciously and consciously by you that have the potential of moving you ever deeper into Self-Realization. Therefore it is helpful to be able to look at yourself as objectively and unbiased as you can, inside and out. This practice will help move you into the understanding that you are all connected and therefore are dependent on each other's life force energy. This energy could also be called soul energy. Without this energy exchange on all levels of being, life force dwindles and causes stagnation and decay.
When a person feels a need to attack, they are in fear that if they don't attack they will somehow be harmed now or in the future by what they are presently believing is the enemy. Imagine what it would feel like if every day because of where you live, how you live, what you look like and how you act, you would have to be on guard in case someone chose to attack you. Would you, especially as a male, make much effort to go to school or look for a job if where you lived was full of desperate, deprived and down and out people who would just as well kill you, if they didn't like the way you looked? Every situation in an unsafe environment can feel dangerous and life threatening. When people are in survival mode that is all they can concentrate on, surviving. When people are suppressed they don't feel happy about anything. Instead they will most likely feel empty inside. Too often, the only thing left for a man young or old to do, in a suppressed environment is to create a way of life that gives him a sense of power and some control over his environment. That could be anything from an abundance of tattoos, a certain hair style, carrying a gun, acting tough and looking mean. Bullying others and learning how to fight to do some real bodily harm could bring a feeling of accomplishment. Maybe stealing would make someone like this feel empowered because he sees no other way to have the things he longs to have.
How each person uses their equal portion of the creative force in their life has to do with how in touch and aware they are on the higher levels of their consciousness. The more involved with the higher levels of consciousness one is, the more harmless the actions. Love as awareness does not inflict pain, judgment, or decides who is worthy and who isn't. Love only finds compassionate solutions that promote balance within self and within the self of others.
The down trodden and poor need jobs and a reason to care about their lives. Jobs give one a feeling of self-pride, of being of use in the world and having a purpose. Adults and teens that don't have the means to pull themselves out of their suppressed environments tend to give up and are more apt to turn to lives of crime. If stealing gives someone who needs it, a feeling of power and a form of control over their life, and that is the only way the person believes he or she will ever have anything of value, which would you choose? Would you choose stealing or would choose getting a high school diploma that by itself could only warrant a minimum wage job?
Becoming a master at rebellion, anger and violence can oftentimes become the only goals left for someone who sees no way out of his/her suppressed environment. With that mindset, surviving is success.
So who can these human souls turn to, for what has been called "a hand up?" A hand up helps people to help themselves. It can give a life meaning, unlike that of a "hand out." It's time to be part of the solution instead of further debasing people who are hurting mentally, physically and emotionally because they can't find what they so need, a purpose?

Kirsten Parmer/Special to The News Leader
Newtown Baking
960 W. Beverley St., Staunton
Hours: 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. Closed Sunday and Monday.
Other: outdoor seating, call-ahead catering menu, beer and wine, local art
Ive enjoyed the bread from Newtown Baking since it opened. Warm and crusty baguette slices set on a white plate in front of me at a now-closed farm-to-table restaurant. Baked croutons on a salad from Cranberrys. A fresh loaf picked up at the Friendly City Food Co-Op to add to my own dinner table.
I only knew them for their bread. And what amazing bread it is. Crusty, European-style filone and baguettes. Ciabatta and focaccia. Wheat and sourdough. Olive and rosemary. All with deep flavors and perfect textures. New to me, however, was the array of other goodies that flow out of the kitchen in the wee hours of the morning.
We decided to stop in for a late lunch one very rainy afternoon. (Yes, it matters that it was raining.) Newtown has a nice lunch menu with a handful of sandwich selections and a daily lunch special including soups such as parsnip, curry and lentil or Asian chicken with soba noodles. There was one customer on his laptop using the free Wi-Fi and a revolving door of regulars who were stopping to grab bread on their way home for the day. Other than that, we had the place to ourselves to enjoy our lunch and browse the collection of works by local artists that hung on the walls.
We ordered the fancy chicken salad with grapes and almonds ($8.45) and the fresh mozzarella, pesto, kalamata olive and tomato ($8.45) sandwiches, both on baguettes and both with a side of chips. The chicken salad was nicely balanced both in flavor and texture. Not too mayonnaisey, but not too dry either. The grapes and almonds added flavor and crunch without detracting from the chicken. I might have preferred it on a light croissant, but we are both suckers for dense, chewy bread and the salad held up well even to the hearty baguette. Very, very good.
The mozzarella and pesto sandwich was fantastic. When I ordered it, I was worried about it being overly intense or garlicky with the pesto and the olives. It was instead a beautiful combination of salty and briny from the kalamata spread, and fresh and clean from the pesto. The creamy mozzarella proved to be a perfect foil to both.
The January tomato wasnt awful, but I can only imagine that this sandwich in late summer gets even better.
While I was basking in the afterglow of my perfect savory sandwich, I sent the sweet-toothed boyfriend to pick out a dessert selection. He returned to the table armed with flaky chocolate croissant, a soft and intensely flavored chocolate cookie, two enormous salty and sweet oatmeal chocolate chunk cookies, a surprisingly delicate Nutella sandwich cookie, a deliciously jammy Linzer torte cookie, and a decadent meringue with slices of almonds poking out. While I dont crave chocolate or desserts per se (though I dutifully took a bite of everything we bought), I do have a weakness for super-sugary things like meringue. Weird, I know.
And heres where the weather comes into play. Its hard to bake when it rains. The humidity affects the way dough behaves. Skilled bakers know how to adjust their methods for breads and rolls and things that rise, as proven by the bread we ate at lunch. Harder still is getting the egg whites in a meringue to peak. Most people just opt for a sunny day. But on this rainy day, Newtowns meringue was perfectly set, shiny on the outside and, when cracked open, revealed a honeycomb of soft sweetness, crunchy almonds and everything good and holy. Im not even sure I shared one bite of it.
While Newtown Baking should be commended for its excellent bread, if you havent stopped in for an exceptional lunch or to enjoy a cup of Staunton Coffee Co. brew and something sweet, youre missing a gem of a shop.

The Health Lottery draw for 28th June 2014 is for the purpose of raising funds for different health related charities in the area of Cumbria. Cumbria is one of 51 different areas in the United Kingdom that is selected to receive funds to help causes that benefit health. These different areas are rotated so that with every game a different area receives the funds. To encourage people to play The Health Lottery there is a jackpot of up to £100,000. As an added incentive players who get their tickets using the Coral bookmaker have an opportunity to win an additional £1 million, on top of the original jackpot.
The Health Lottery is comprised of up to 51 different society charities representing a specific area of England, Scotland and Wales. Each game is for the purpose of raising money for a selected charity society and this organization will devote the funds to health related causes on the local level. The National Lottery's Managing Director has accused the managing body of the Health Lottery of withholding 50p of every £1 paid for tickets as "expenses". This is an exorbitant amount of money when you compare it to the National Lottery's expenses, which are only 5p for each £1 paid for tickets.
The Health Lottery has actually only pledged to contribute the minimum amount of the proceeds allowed by law, but even so there have been some very important health related projects funded through the lottery. It has just recently reached £50 million donated and there was a celebration of this milestone. At the same time it was noted that the total sales of lottery tickets had dropped dramatically due to a 10% drop in retailers selling the tickets.
Over £240,000 in funds has been donated to the HealthBright society charity via The Health Lottery and this figure does not include the funds from tonight's game. The projects and organisations that have received the funds include:
- Alzheimer's Society
- Birmingham Sports and Education Foundation
- School Food Trust
- Three Trees Community Centre
The proceeds from this past Wednesday's draw were donated to HealthBright and tonight's draw will add to those funds and be the last fundraiser for HealthBright until it comes up in the rotation next time. Next Wednesday's draw will contribute funds to another society in a different region of the UK.
In order to find out the winners of tonight's Health Lottery draw please turn on Channel 5 at around 21:55 and the draw will be conducted the first commercial break nearest this time. If there's a sporting event or another urgent show, The Health Lottery draw's time does change. In order to avoid missing the action you can always go to the Health Lottery Results web page. The draw takes place on live TV and there's usually a host, which rotates. In the past the hosts have been Anne Diamond, Sian Welby and Natalie Cassidy. They are rotated and usually appear with Sian Welby who is actually a Channel 5 employee as the resident host.
The Health Lottery will return next Wednesday, July 3rd, but it may have a smaller jackpot as ticket sales are usually lower during the week, so since the amount of the jackpot is based on ticket sales it may not reach the maximum amount of £100,000. To all players who have tickets in tonight's Health Lottery draw, the WagerPod team would like to wish you the best of luck.

W&W And Ummet Ozcan – The Code (Original Mix)
Wow, what a track. W&W and Ummet Ozcan tear it up with this hard house tune. The Code starts off with a great funky introduction, followed by a nice soft bridge. Then comes the captivating build up leading to the hard constant head-bopping drop. Can't get enough of this song. If you're a fan of hard house this a track you must hear. The song was released today by Reveleaed Records, and is available for purchase on Beatport.

On Jan. 20, the Sons of the Utah Pioneers held their monthly chapter meeting with guest speaker Dr. Theron Crowther, of Milton.
Crowther is a local dentist in Morgan. He works with his son Lance. Each year Theron and Lance take 10 days out of their busy practices and travel with 28 other LDS dental workers to perform volunteer dental services for the Guatemalan people. He and his team have been doing this for over 20 years.
At the meeting Theron held the audience spell bound with stories about his work over the years. The team members pay all their own expenses (about $3,000 per person). They bring their own medications, tools and equipment with them. They travel into the more rural parts of the country where such services are not usually available.
The area is dangerous, and the team encounters major difficulties while they are there. Even though they must have armed guards travel with them, they treat bus loads of patients each day. Theron says he has personally extracted as many as 100 teeth in a single day.
Last year's work was among the Quechan people. He related a story about the mayor of a small Quechan town. She did all she could to make their stay good. There were so many trying to get into the clinic that Lance had to stand on top of the building and throw small packages into the crowd to divert their attention so the workers could get into and out of the clinic. This mayor had had her own husband murdered two months before their visit, but she was determined to make the work available for her people.
At times the dentists come across corrupt local governments that try to take political credit for the team's work. The team tries diligently to avoid this type of exploitation. "It is just better for no one to know we're there," says Theron. "But local news people throng our sites."
The people have so little and are extremely poor. One older woman asked Theron to come to her home, which was only a shack about 15' by 15'. She slept with a tattered piece of plastic over her bed to keep off the rain. The team did all they could to help alleviate her plight.
Sometimes people would come into the clinic and ask the dentists to pull all of their teeth. Theron would say, "But how will you chew?" They didn't care; the pain they were experiencing was so great that they just wanted to be free of it.
Sometimes the dentists got tainted food. Theron remembers one small hostel. They had eaten food brought to them by locals. All of the team got sick. The privy was a community source, so they were all lined up to use it. But they kept on doing their dental procedures, nevertheless.
One time, after they had finished the day's work, a double rainbow appeared over the clinic at 5 p.m. One of the local people said it was a sign from God that what they were doing was a great miracle. There was a common understanding that seemed to go from village to village warning the locals "not to hurt these guys."
Elder McKay Kearsley, of the Milton Ward, serves among the Quechan people. "He is getting along wonderfully," says Theron. "It is a mark of courage that they're out there on the Lord's errand. They certainly are protected."

For some reason, a bunch of questions about the fob popped into my mind today. In no particular order:
- Is there a replaceable battery in the fob?
- If so, will the car alert the driver that the battery is low?
- Does the car arrive with a spare fob?
- Is there a valet mode for the car to limit the functions of the fob?
- Can a ring be inserted to hang the fob when not in use?
If anyone knows the answers or can direct me to a link that discusses all things fob, fire away.
I believe each car comes with two fobs by default, but I can't provide a link to substantiate that.
I think valet mode is selected inside the car on the touchscreen, if its been implemented yet (not sure).
Given the fobs shape, I bet the battery is replaceable via an underside hatch.
How to attach a keyring...
CR 2025 button type battery. No valet mode yet. And yes, 2 fobs come with the car. That's all I know so far.
Thanks for the replies and especially the picture!

HYANNIS — One short flight, one big leap forward for Island Airlines.
The airline's new aircraft, a Cessna Grand Caravan, began service yesterday between Hyannis and Nantucket — and passengers were impressed.
Steve Mehl, owner of an insulation business on Nantucket, was aboard the first flight out of Hyannis yesterday morning. "For a windy day, it was a smooth ride," he said. "It was nice and comfortable, with lots of legroom and leather seats."
"On a scale of one to 10, I give it a 15," said Gloria Grimshaw, a broker at Jordan Real Estate on Nantucket and frequent flyer on the route, who arrived on yesterday morning's first return flight into Hyannis.
The new single-engine turboprop, configured for nine passengers, has a roomier interior than the rest of Island Airlines' fleet — all twin-engine Cessna 402s — can carry more cargo, and is quieter.
"It's a big day for us," airline president and CEO W. Scott LaForge said.
Cessna 402s have been out of production since 1985. "We've encouraged them to build more," LaForge said. "But they've even discarded the jigs they used in manufacturing them."
With that model no longer available, Island Airlines turned its attention to the Grand Caravan, which was introduced in 1986. LaForge said the type has proved reliable, logging 11 million flight hours since then.
Although new to local passenger service, airlines from the Caribbean to Thailand to Scandinavia use Grand Caravans. Cargo-configured versions are FedEx's workhorses as well, accounting for 252 of the shipping giant's 672-aircraft fleet.
Island Airlines celebrated yesterday's debut by giving passengers on the new plane a gift pack with an airline mug, sweets and a coupon for a free one-way trip on the Grand Caravan.
Passengers' reactions indicate that the plane will be popular. "I've been flying 11 years on those small planes, and sometimes it can get a little bit scary," Mehl said. "But that was great. I could see going across the country on it."

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.—Former New Mexico state Sen. Odis Echols, who later become a prominent lobbyist, has died at the age of 82 after a long illness.
Lobbyist Scott Scanland said Echols died Thursday in Albuquerque and had battled dementia for several years.
Echols served in the Senate from 1967 to 1976, as a Clovis Democrat. During part of his tenure, he was the Senate majority whip and chairman of the Rules Committee.
Echols ran for governor in 1974, but lost in a six-way Democratic primary to Jerry Apodaca, who won the general election.
Scanland said Monday that Echols became a lobbyist in the late 1970s, and his clients included Bernalillo County and Sandia Pueblo.
Echols is survived by his wife, Millie Leahy, a son and grandchildren. Funeral arrangements are pending.

The Downtown Group sponsored a brainstorming session Monday night at the Dothan Opera House.
The meeting allowed a special panel of economic planning and development experts to sit down with local business leaders, property owners and public officials so they could map out a set of goals.
Input from the meeting will be used to form a long-range plan for the future of Dothan's central business district.
Officials with the Downtown Group hope to have the initial study completed and preliminary report ready for review by this summer.

Contractor accused of scamming clients out of money
A Verona contractor scammed his clients out of their money, Pittsburgh police said Monday.
Police charged Matthew Yost, 27, with deceptive business practices in November. Business partners who buy and either sell or rent homes hired Yost to do work on a property on Saline Street in Greenfield and on Camelia Street in Lawrenceville, police spokeswoman Diane Richard said in a press release. The partners said they paid Yost a total of $54,300 for work on the two properties over the course of several months, and noticed in October that the work was not completed and that the work that was done was poor quality, Richard said.
Yost met with police detectives and admitted he didn't complete the work and he said he used the money to pay his employees, but couldn't explain why the work wasn't done. Police said Yost has used illegally purchased prescription drugs, Richard said.
Detectives are investigating and ask that anyone else who was a victim of deceptive business practices by Yost call 412-255-2827.

|Positioning a safe gastric puncture point before percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 17343669 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|To position a safe gastric puncture point prior to the percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) a technique using an abdominal plain film with a gastric insufflation was assessed. After insufflated with 500 ml of air, an abdominal plain film was obtained before PEG in 84 patients. The body of the stomach near the angularis, equidistant from the greater and lesser curves, was defined as the optimal gastric puncture point. The location of the puncture points varied greatly, being situated over the right upper quadrant in 31% of patients, left upper in 59%, right lower in 5% and left lower quadrant in 5% of patients. The marked puncture points on abdominal film in some patients were shown to be partially covered by colon or small bowel loop, lie high under the costal margin, or low beneath the umbilicus. An abdominal plain film utilising a gastric insufflation technique prior to PEG may help to determine optimal gastric puncture site selection. Use this technique in clinical practice might hasten procedural time, provide better assurance to the clinical doctor, and provide an added margin of safety for the patient.

If you're worried about the car battery dying while your carPC is running from it, it seems to me it might make more sense to just buy a car battery charger. For not too much money you should be able to find one that is smart enough to switch between full charge and trickle mode so it automatically charges the battery properly all the time.
Car batteries are pretty rugged, and generally should charge and be just fine with a 13.8V supply hooked up. However, without actually trying it, it's difficult to say if your supply would be OK with it - if the battery was discharged a bit, it could try to draw a huge current from the power supply at first - the power supply voltage might just droop a bit under the load, or it might just shut off, or it might even damage it, depending on how the supply is designed.

Clear Snow From Fire Hydrants
Posted By News On December 29, 2013 @ 6:28 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
If you have a fire hydrant in your yard, the Knoxville Fire Department asks that you shovel the snow from around it, and clean the snow off the hydrant as best you can. Fire Chief Jim Mitchell says that if the hydrants are buried under snow and crews are called to a fire, they may have to drive further from the fire to find a working hydrant. Mitchell says that the warmer weather in the last few days, coupled with the freezing temperatures that are forecast also create problems, because when the melted snow freezes, it can block the hydrant, or freeze the top nut so it's very difficult to remove.

Morning in a Different Place
Friendship with Yolanda, an African-American, is not something Fiona's new friends will tolerate.
I told her what happened. And once I did, something changed, something about who I was.
Fiona is a child of Irish immigrants; Yolanda is black. Their friendship breaks all the rules. Compelled by financial hardship and concern about her daughter, Fiona's mother has reunited with her husband, who struggles with alcoholism and the violence it triggers in him. Their new start offers Fiona the hope of normality and of finally being accepted by her peers. But her friendship with Yolanda is not something her new friends will tolerate, and so Fiona deceives both Yolanda and herself as she tries to make a life. When she realizes that her father is drinking again and her mother is in danger, Fiona finds that the price of acceptance—her mother's safety and her friendship with Yolanda—is one she's unwilling to pay. As she comes to see what is truly worth having, Fiona makes a plan to protect her mother and finds the courage to defend her friendship with Yolanda.

Charter School Officially Closing
New Hope Academy Charter School is officially closing. The York Dispatch reports Wednesday night the York City School Board unanimously voted to close New Hope and liquidate it's assets. Last month the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania upheld the decision that it must close it's doors by the end of the year. In 2012, the York City School Board voted to revoke New Hope's charter before the school appealed to the Charter Appeal board and the Commonwealth Court. The board cited low test scores and possible ethics act violations in how the school is run. The public auction of the school's assets and property is set for next month.

Green Bay Packers running back Ryan Grant sprints for an 80 yard touchdown reception in the second quarter Jan. 1 against the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field. / Jim Matthews/Press-Gazette
This is like old home week for Green Bay Packers running back Ryan Grant.
He will be facing his former team, the New York Giants, in an NFC divisional playoff game Sunday at Lambeau Field, and attempting to elude his best friend and offseason New Jersey neighbor, Giants defensive end Justin Tuck.
Grant is hungry for a taste of playoff action after a season-ending ankle injury in September 2010 took him out of the Packers eventual Super Bowl championship run.
But despite the personal nature of this matchup, Grant isnt treating this game any differently.
Yes, a berth in the NFC championship game is at stake, but Grant will take the same measured approach he uses to prepare for every game.
The fifth-year running back prides himself on practicing like he plays and being a team leader.
Hes a guy that I think other players in the locker room look up to because he does things the right way, and hes on board with the direction this team is going, said Packers running backs coach Jerry Fontenot.
Its all about winning. Thats where Ryan Grant stands.
Grant will do whatever is asked of him with no complaint.
In the season prior to his injury, Grant rushed 282 times for 1,253 yards. He returned as the starter this season but shared duties with James Starks and had 134 rushes for 559 yards.
A selfish player might have sulked over that drastically reduced workload, but thats not how Grant operates.
Roles change, everybody recognizes that, Grant said.
Im not a coach, Im a player. You do whats asked of you. At the same time, the coach does a good job of putting us in the best situation, and were 15-1. So its worked, evidently.
The Giants traded Grant for a sixth-round draft choice prior to the 2007 season. It was a steal for the Packers after Grant rushed for 3,412 yards in his first three seasons here. He joined Jim Taylor and Ahman Green as the only Packers running backs to rush for more than 1,200 yards in consecutive seasons.
Although his role on the field isnt as large anymore, Grant contributes in a variety of other ways.
Hes a stud individual, said Packers coach Mike McCarthy this week. He has a strong presence in our locker room. Hes definitely one of our strongest personalities, just a blue collar, workmanlike approach to everything he does.
Said Grant in response: I think Ive been pretty consistent in who I am and what Im about. I think people see that. If thats how they look at me, Im cool with that, Im OK with that. I think they respect me. Thats my biggest thing, having the respect of guys in this locker room and the coaches.
Grant is quick to offer advice to Starks, even if the second-year running back has taken about half of Grants rushing attempts this season. During his rookie year with the Giants, Grant received similar help from veteran Tiki Barber, so he in turn wont hesitate to pass along his knowledge to Starks.
Hes always helping me, Starks said. Theres a lot he taught me.
I dont think there will ever be tension between us. (Hes) like my brother.
Grant will become an unrestricted free agent following the season, and at age 29, his future is unknown.
If this is his final season in Green Bay, Grant can walk away with his head held high after leaving an indelible mark.
Hes a pure professional, Fontenot said. Ryan comes to work every single day. He doesnt complain about anything. Hes going to take every single rep you want him to take, and hes going to finish everything the way you want him to finish it.
Its hard to ask for more out of any employee.

CHICAGO (July 29, 2013)--New guidance released Monday says cardiologists should talk about sex with their patients to let them know intimacy is often possible after a heart attack.
The advice is in a consensus statement the American Heart Association and European Society of Cardiology released on Monday that says doctors should bring up the topic early and often, to let survivors know sex is often OK after a heart attack, stroke or other cardiac condition.
The heart groups address everything from when and how to resume sex, to what position might be best for some conditions or not advised for others.
It's billed as the first scientific statement with detailed guidance on resuming sex after a heart problem and is based on a review of medical literature.

A situational documentary film about a village mayor trying to match local people in their thirties who are still single. Slowly but surely, the Slovak village Zemplínské Hámre is dying out. Its mayor, a retired general, doesn't want to give up though. Fighting the thirty-year-olds' loneliness, he has used various means such as offering a financial reward for each newborn child or encouraging people to make children in the local public address system. None of it has worked. However, the mayor has a new plan. He decides to organize a dating party for singles from all the neighbouring villages...
Czech Peace
Český mír, Czech Republic, 2010, 52 min, 35 mm, HD, Creative, Politics, Society
The story of the Star Wars, the Cold War and the War On Terror of one small Czech village. As part of its National Missile Defense Program, the US plan to build a military base in the Czech Republic, a former hiding place for Soviet nuclear rockets during the Cold War. Despite the fact that 73% of Czechs are against the project, the government has continued with negotiations. Supporters of the base claim that it will strengthen the country's defense against the global threats of the 21st century. Opponents point out that the plan essentially shifts the Iron Curtain toward the east; they also insist that it represents an attempt of the US to rule the world.

Welcome back good guys and beautiful ladies who like things the way they are and never will take a sweet talker to do things you other wise may think twice about it. Today we have another compilation from the guys of Digital Sin Called " One In The Front & One In The Rear" I think I can tell you that there will be a lot of holes filling here, shall we?.....
Scene 1- Kitty Black
Kitty Black looks a lot like one girl in the movie I just review, she in the other hand looks 100 time better with some professional make up, she is DP as promised, got a pop in her anus, not internal, the second in her mouth. This is the new scene promised in the cover.
Very beautiful Amabella is next and as pretty as she is, she can handle two guys with easy, pop inside her asshole and second in her mouth.
Lucy Belle is quite pretty and willing to do the nasty things of having both guys at the same time, she got served with two pop directed to her open mouth.
Candy Alexa is a girl with major league curves and an appetite for cock, she is not shy at the time of accomodate both cock inside of her having two holes to comply, she is also served two protein shakes right in her mouth.
Beautiful blonde Teena is not full of curves but is real pretty and knows how to fuck two guys at one time which is kind of the main thing here, another double dose of man's love to seal the deal.
All the previous girls are pretty and stuff but none compares to my GF Honey Demon, who is like a dream come true, she also manages to stuff the two guys inside her available holes and gets rewarded with two big pops that she teases to swallow but doesn't. This is the end of the first disc.
Lulu Martinez is a cute brunette that goes for the full stuffed thing and looks pretty comfortable with it , she kneel down to get the double pop in her mouth,
Angel Pink and her impressive body are next, wow!, Where she being my whole life?, she is pretty well packaged, she in the other hand has no problem handling two studs, now I have to look for more stuff from her, she gets two pops in her mouth, I'm very impress with this girl.
Adriana start talking or describing how she went down with two guys, of course with plenty of graphics, she finish with a pop in her butt and face.
Summer Breeze is a cute blonde who can give any amount of breezes she wants, she takes on the pair of studs, she shows some good gapes on the way and finish with a double pop while on her knees.
Cover girl Samantha Sin has been gracing our screens for quite some time, always looking great and very pretty, she has some problems couples have, but nothing it cannot be fixed with a great fuck in both holes, this is a nice scene that close the second disc and movie with Samantha downing the two pops to be the cherry on top of the cake.
The DVD
Video and audio quality are great. Menu with chapters and subchapters, no BTS, popshot, photogallery, trailers, web info and so on...
Digital Sin's "One In The Front & One In The Rear" is an excellent compilation of DP scenes 11 to be exact, one is said to be brand new, but I was surprise to see that most of the scenes were quite hot, if you want to check out some of the stars or are in a mood for some double the fun for the girls, this one is a great choice. Low end like always for compilations.
Beautiful girls ( yes )
Angel Pink is one of them ( yes )
Honey Demon is another one ( yes )
Do they take it up the butt ( yes )
Cum swallowing ( only Samantha Did )
Another fetish ( some anal creampies )
Rental list for this one ( no )
Any questions or comments, just drop me a line! Thank you

Son tells the tale of Earl Eugene 'Gene' Nokes, 1917-2013February 12, 2013 at 4:32 am | In Obituaries, West Seattle news, West Seattle people | 16 Comments
This remembrance of Gene Nokes by his son Don isn't "just" an obituary … it's a story about a man, his life and times and memories. He's gone but clearly will never be forgotten:
Earl Eugene "Gene" Nokes Sr. passed away peacefully at Providence Mount St. Vincent on February 2, 2013.
Gene was the last of his ten other brothers and sisters to check out of Nokesville, which at its inception was a large army tent located on the corner of 48th SW and Hanford St. He and his wife Margie both moved into the Mount facility back in 2000. Margie passed away in September of 2001 and after a brief hiatus, Gene and Margie will now reunite on the other side of life. Gene lived to be 95 years old and spent more than a decade in a very symbiotic relationship with his Mount Saint Vincent family and friends – they loved him and he loved them in return.
Gene Nokes Sr. never graduated from anything other than 8th grade, as far as I know. The story Uncle Pat told me about Dad and him and Joe and Tom and West Seattle High School went like this:
"We went up to the front of the place, and there were these great big iron bars on it. Gene and I looked at it, and I told Gene, 'It looks a lot like places we've already been before.' So we went through the front and out the back….and never looked back." And that was the extent of Nokes boys' dalliance with higher learning.
Although Dad, Gene, was never a graduate, he was always a fierce supporter of the local schools. Here's the version of the West Seattle fight song I learned from listening to him, "Oskie Wah Wah – Whiskey Wee Wee – Holy Muckee-Kie – West Seattle High." Which, in my opinion, kicks the stuffings out of "Westside High My Alma Mater……"
Gene and Margaret Sophrine Murray Nokes (Margie) were married on September 20, 1943. They raised seven of us children – beginning in a home just off Alki Beach at 54th Place SW. It was circa 1940 when they began to beget, and Margie had 7 children in 8 years – Gene Jr., Peggie, Kathi, Bill, Don, Ed, and the baby Elaine Marie. To Margie and Gene's credit, all of my brothers and sisters are still alive, walking upright, fairly spry and sneaking up on our 70's.
Gene drove a truck for Bar-S Cudahy and Serve-U meats for 30 odd years, and raised his family with Margie. What I liked about Dad maybe most, was his sense of aplomb. When the chips were down you really couldn't rattle him. And believe me, that house was rockin'.
There was the time he had spent all weekend painting the ceiling in the dining room. Then he papered the walls so us kids could go in, take our pens and colors and draw to our hearts content – on the walls. Great parenting – a good move, until he arrived home and found pen marks and drawings on his freshly painted – ceiling. "Who's the Michelangelo?" He gathered the kids and went around the room commenting on the art work. Peggie's – always got high marks, but speaking of marks, this time he singled out one of mine. He mentioned that ALL the paintings were great and lovely, blah, blah, blah ….."But this one on the ceiling. Now that's something special, but I don't know how you could have done it." Then I proceeded to hang myself, by telling him – "It was easy, Dad." dragging in chairs and boxes to prove my point. Oh, I stepped in it that time. Hoisted on my own petard – Dad was great. I got a big bear hug for that one – best grade I ever got in art.
Whenever it rained at the old home, we all grabbed pots and pans, and looked for drips and spent the day catching water. Poor Margie didn't have a pot to cook in, depending on the severity of the storm. She probably welcomed anything that kept the kids occupied. Nothing more fascinating for a four-year-old than watching water … unless it's watching paint dry and waiting to make your mark.
Margie and Gene saved money wherever and however they could. Homemade haircuts were one money-saver that Dad employed. He had a professional barbering kit, with five separate combs, to cut our hair. He started with the longest comb, buzzed your head, put on the next comb and buzzed you again – until he had shaved your head down to a nub. He had no finesse. All his aplomb was gone – when it came to haircuts, and with four brothers in waiting – one thing you didn't want to be was last in line. By the time the last kid got in the chair, that razor was like a branding iron. Red hot! I think Bill did the best imitation of the last guy dancing in the chair – looking like a reluctant horse thief going to the gallows. The best thing was when Gene Jr. took over for Dad and rescued us from having to go to school looking like we had ring worm, when what we had were red welts from Dad's razor. God Bless brother Gene, who mercifully practiced on us, and then went off to earn money at college cutting hair there.
Dad's life reminds me of a poem by T.S. Eliot where he talks about "Old men ought to be explorers." Dad, Earl Eugene "Gene" Nokes, was like that ….just because you can't see, and you can't hear, and you can't walk, and you can't even breathe – doesn't mean that you stop exploring. If it all abandons you, or you must toss it all overboard – never lose the sense of adventure that is life. Reach out – love, explore ….
Old men ought to be explorers
Here or there does not matter
We must be still and still moving
Into another intensity
For a further union, a deeper communion
Through the dark cold and the empty desolation,
The wave cry, the wind cry, the vast waters
Of the petrel and the porpoise. In my end is my beginning.
– T.S. Eliot
A memorial service is planned at The Mount this Saturday (February 16) at 10:30 am.

Thanks for the great story, I was cracking up reading it. Sounds like it was a fun household, never a dull moment. What a great loss to a wonderful family. Thanks for sharing him on the blog.

Thanks for sharing that lovely tribute. I didn't know him until he moved to the Mount, but I always enjoyed chatting and singing with him and he will be missed by many. What a very sweet man he was.

What a great tribute! I thought the Nokes family owned West Seattle when I was growing up in the 50′s and 60′s! They were everywhere. Fun families. They don't make them like this anymore!

That's how life should be for all of us! I didn't have kids, but I do know, if there was "art work" on the wall and ceiling when I got home from work, my reaction would have been a little different than Gene's ; ) Bless his gentle, loving spirit and may it continue to reside in all of us.

Anyone growing up in West Seattle in the 50′s-60′s
and 70′s knew at least one of the Nokes. Great family and the boys/men-all great ball players. Thanks Donny.

This was so lovely to read. My mom grew up during this same time period, a family of six kids. Reading this made me feel like I was listening to my aunts and uncles tell stories from their childhood. Lots of mischief, but so much fun and laughter. Thank you for sharing about the life of your dad.

What a lovely tribute to your dad (and mom). It was a very nice read, thanks for sharing. Both of my children work(ed) at the Mt. and though I never got to meet your dad, they always mentioned what great people both your parents were. Prayers for you and your family during this time of grief.

Just a beautiful tribute, Donny. So sorry for your loss. I can see where you get your imp-ish spirit. Thanks for sharing the fun memories.

I remember Donny giving a hilarious history of HR church years ago which of course dealt with his family and other larger families on the westside and his memories of childhood. Our own Garrison Keilor. He & the Nokes family are a treasure.
Comment by Dale — 10:56 pm February 12, 2013 #
I will truly miss Gene. The morning coffee group will never be the same without him. His wit and humor were my favorite qualities. I enjoyed your tribute, Don. Thanks for sharing the memories with us.
Comment by Debbie — 6:24 am February 15, 2013 #
I grew up next door to Joe and Della Nokes family….the 5 boys and Irene! I remember going with my mom to Margies for ceramics class. All of us kids played in the basement while the moms created. I still have my moms pieces that she made there. What a great and very large family. You can't think of West Seattle without thinking of the Nokes'.

WeNews guest author
Sunday, January 22, 2012
Unlike U.S. women, Colombian women have made great strides in the political arena in a short period of time, says Barbara Frechette in the book "Sharing Power." In this excerpt, she compares this progression to the one in the United States.
The Colombian Women's Union's first demand was for a peaceful resolution of Colombia's internal war between its Liberal and Conservative parties. Its second demand was for women's voting rights. The next 20 demands are many of the rights the world's feminists sought, and are still seeking today.
When Arboleda returned to Colombia in 1957, she was just in time to witness the success of efforts she had spearheaded to win voting rights for women. Soon after, she became her country's first national senator.
Meanwhile in the United States, women were beginning to feel trapped and stifled in restrictive domestic roles and their resentment found voice in Betty Friedan's 1963 book, "The Feminine Mystique." The resultant National Organization of Women was created to fight for rights that were equal to those enjoyed by males in the United States, and from it, U.S. women's-rights feminism was born.
Many U.S. women believed they had been pushed backward into patriarchal, Victorian roles and they determined escape from patriarchy depended on women's economic progress in the labor market.
Focusing on paid employment as their equalizer, the majority of U.S. women joined the labor force and steadily narrowed the salary gap in wide sectors of the labor market. By focusing most of their attention on economic equality, they greatly increased their economic power in the United States, but by not paying enough attention to bridging their cultural, political and religious differences, they have slowed their political empowerment.
Should U.S. women unite to solve problems that affect them all, leaving out religious, ideological and political issues (that divide them and can never be solved politically), they would eliminate the roadblocks that prohibit the development of the strong female voting bloc they need to elect women as presidents as often as they elect men.
Barbara Frechette has a bachelor's degree in journalism from Gonzaga University in Spokane, Wash., and advanced studies in economics and journalism from American University and the University of Maryland. Accompanying her husband in his 35-year foreign service career, she was editor of the American Foreign Service Women's Newsletter and published an article about the role of the foreign service spouse in the American Foreign Service Journal.

Very interesting article, but I was dismayed to read this sentence:
"In the 1940s, even though U.S. women successfully assumed jobs
normally held by men during World War II, they happily returned to
their domestic roles at the end of the war."
There were many U.S. women who were not happy to go home. The Rosie the Riveter documentary shows the major public relations campaign the U.S. government embarked on to get women to go home so their factory jobs could be taken over by the returning men. I'll never forget the film clip in that documentary in which a white-coated female psychologist is dictating an article about how truly femine women will want to go home and make babies. As if she would leave her own job!
African -American women particularly did not want to leave the factories because they had few options apart from domestic service jobs. And there were women in the military who simply refused to leave, despite major efforts to get them out, because those were the best paying jobs they ever had. Their refusal to leave was the origin of DACOWITS, the Defense Department Committee on Women in the Services, created in the 1950s to figure out what to do with the women who wouldn't leave.
