There is an enormous amount of information being passed around about food allergies and food intolerance these days but not all of the information is actually fact based, in fact the majority of is not based off validated medical results at all. I've interviewed a host of "experts" on food allergies to provide all of us with a better understanding. I've also taken the liberty of sharing a little glimpse of my own personal story and background of life with diagnosed food allergies.
While most information is simply theory, opinion, misinformation and invalidated results, today's interview is with Dr. Russ Leftwich who practiced internal medicine, allergy and immunology for 22 years. He is now in the clinical informatics field working across the entire spectrum of healthcare and involved in national and international efforts, developing clinical data standards and interoperability for care coordination, consumer engagement, and quality improvement.
Dr. Leftwich is the subject matter expert for one of the projects in the international clinical data standards development organization called Health Level Seven (hl7.org <hl7.org> ) which is developing a standard way to represent the information on the "Allergy List" in a medical record, the list of medications, foods and other substances that an individual is allergic to.
Some of our information is based on true life experience of dealing with medically diagnosed food allergic reactions but each person has a different experience and while some may be similar, no one knows your body like you do, so it's critical that we pay attention but don't go overboard and claim things we don't know the medical knowledge and facts to back up.
There is not much training about allergies in medical school or residencies and certainly not in the food industry. Only in an allergy/immunology fellowship is there extensive training provided in allergy (IgE type) and other immune problems.
The result: most physicians don' know much about food allergy or any other type of allergy and certainly the food industry knows even less.
Board certified allergists have to do a fellowship and pass an exam but they don't have to get a prefect score so no one knows everything, therefore all the things doctors say, may not be TRUE.
First of all we need to really look at the definition of 'Food Allergy' and call it what it is, basically it is food poisoning to those who have developed an autoimmune disorder to certain food proteins. There are different causes of food poisoning.
Every year 1 in 6 Americans get sick from food poisoning. Some reasons for food poisoning are bacteria, viruses, parasites, molds, toxins, contaminants and allergens. Most recover without any long term effects from their illness, however, the effects can be devastating and even deadly for others.
Serious long-term effects associated with several common types of food poisoning include:
• Kidney failure
• Chronic arthritis
• Brain and nerve damage
• Death
Allergists use the term 'Food Allergy' to mean a reaction caused by production of an antibody, Immunoglobulin E, which "recognizes" what we are allergic to.
Immunoglobulin E is not abnormal, it is part of our immune system that helps protect us from parasites. Since we don't have parasites, that part of our immune system is you might say twiddling its thumbs and accidentally starts "recognizing" something that vaguely resembles parasites (by a chemical feature on the surface of that substance that is almost always a protein). Allergen molecules tend to be in a certain size range.
Poison ivy allergy is common, but is caused by a completely different part of the immune system and the types of "allergens" that cause this type of allergy are oily, rather than proteins that cause allergies in food. This type of allergy to foods is very unusual.
Certain foods are more prone to be the cause of food allergies. They tend to be high in protein and on a molecular level we now know have certain chemical characteristics that make them more likely to "fool" the immune system and cause an allergy.
Foods from genetically modified plants would not have any reason to be more or less allergenic, but that doesn't mean that they have not changed the molecular structure of our food supply and left no impact on our bodies.
WHAT a person becomes allergic to is determined in part by their genetic inheritance, what food they are exposed to, and when in their life they are exposed to it.
Before we are 18 months old, our intestines are not mature and we absorb larger molecules from digested food that are more likely to cause us to become allergic.
I can share my personal story with you because I have 10 food allergies all diagnosed as an adult.
My mother, god rest her beautiful soul, stopped breast feeding when I was very young. I was her only child. My family has been in farming for many generations. While some of them went on to have other jobs in life, farming and food has stayed in my family in some capacity for at least 6 generations.
I was taught to try every food. I honestly love food, even as a child I loved every food I was given from fresh picked okra to beautifully displayed sushi to fried chicken and my favorite queen anne cherries. I was a consummate snacker which included nuts, fruits and veggies. I have never been overweight, even though my first words included 'french fries.'
I have given birth to two children, neither have been diagnosed with food allergies and to my knowledge no one in my family has ever been diagnosed with food allergies or chronic kidney disease. I breastfed both my children for 6 months. I lost a kidney at age 11 for no apparent reason and was fine for 10 years, until the other kidney began to fail and shortly after that my first food allergies were diagnosed.
Now that I have been diagnosed with 10 food allergens, mostly I feel much better and am able to live a healthy normal life as long as I avoid those foods. I no longer wake up every morning and vomit or get nauseous, my skin isn't constantly red and irritated, I generally don't feel the need to scratch my blood because it itches.
The severity of my allergies has increased with my age and there have been times I've stood in a kitchen full of oranges (one of my food allergies) and felt like I couldn't breath because someone was standing on my chest. I hate having food allergies, it feels like I am cursed because I am a huge foodie and I love to cook and create. My favorite place to be is in the kitchen when I am home or in a restaurant. I feel most comfortable with food from picking it (which I did as a kid) to cooking it to talking to others about it. I love to feed people- in fact whenever possible, that's usually what I am doing. When food is what you know best and suddenly you can't have many of the things you knew best, it does change your life. I am not a picky eater and I hate being classified as such. I additionally hate being classified as someone who does this to lose weight, even the mention of it makes chills run down my spine and the hair on my neck raise up.
The foods I am allergic to have been deemed as "healthy" by all standards except in the case of those diagnosed with food allergies, in which case eating these "healthy" things will KILL me in some cases, not to mention make me very, very sick for weeks after and shut down my autoimmune system all together. - Oranges, cranberry, ginger, fish, sesame seeds, walnuts, almonds (tree nuts), peanuts, milk are all "good for you," beautiful things. I would rather be allergic to processed junk that I can't grow than the foods I have hand picked or caught and created awesome meals with.
There is probably a complicated combination of reasons people become allergic to foods, but we still have no specific medical facts to prove why certain people have food allergies and why others with the same genetic makeup have none.
While there may be differences in the most common food allergens from country to country there are not specific reasons as to why. Certainly what different countries decide to list is not based on any careful scientific formula.
Studies of food allergies usually involve only a few dozen or at most a few hundred persons, not the 10's of thousands of persons that would be necessary to answer many questions we have surrounding this issue.
There are no scientific studies showing that you lose a food allergy by being gradually reintroduced to it. That, like many food allergy tales, is an urban legend. While children can outgrow some food allergies, like milk (which is more common to outgrow) peanuts are much less likely to be outgrown.
Skin tests and blood tests are not very reliable for finding an unknown food allergy. There are many false negatives and false positives. A true food challenge is the only gold standard, but can be dangerous.
"We are making progress in the field of informatics and some day we may be able to answer those questions based on 10s of thousands of individuals with food allergy. Maybe one day will even make progress teaching medical students about allergies," states Dr. Leftwich.

Lubov Azria, BCBGMAXAZRIA Chief Creative Officer
"Boom Boom Pow" by Black Eyed Peas??
Who doesn't love this song! It's a funky futuristic mix that gets me pump ed up in the morning – on the treadmill or en route through the neighborhood. You don't have to go fast, you just have to go… ??
"No Diggity" (drum and bass mix) by Aphrodite??
Music undoubtedly sets the mood. When I hear an energetic soundtrack, it gives me so much life. I have this song on repeat on my iPod workout playlist. It's important to enjoy working out, and an upbeat song like this gets my heart racing and brings the gratification back into working out. It's the one moment in my day where I can clear my mind and be in my zone.
"I've Got Five On It" by Aphrodite ??
I can do any workout, stretch, marathon to this track… I love the sound of the old school beat with a modern remix that builds my stamina to go the extra mile all day. With my busy schedule on the go, I don't find the time to workout, I MAKE the time to workout.
Lloyd Boston, TV Style Expert, Author
"Tightrope" by Janelle Monáe
This immediately gets my hearts beating. I love the old school horn section, like something out of a James Brown hit. Perfect for my cardio kickboxing.
"Take Care" by Drake (featuring Rihanna)
It's soft and tender, but builds up to a cool House music-inspired dance bridge. Takes me right back to NYC in the 80s and 90s, while on the rowing machine.
"Glad You Came" by The Wanted ??
Although I am not a teen, surfing up and down the California coast, this song instantly transports me there. Love to play it on the treadmill.
Dylan Lauren, Owner Dylan's Candy Bar
"Firework" by Katie Perry
The message of this song is: you are capable of anything when you put your mind to it.
Crystal Renn, Model
"All is Full of Love" by Bjork
My workout of choice is often yoga because of the wonderful benefits for the mind. The message of this song makes me feel grounded in myself and connected to all of those around me.
"Two Tongues" by Mariee Sioux
Doing oms is a big part of yoga but when I am alone in my house I love playing music I can sing along to as I do my asanas, and this is one of those songs. Singing or chanting words of poetry, mixed with breathing, while moving through my poses is an invigorating experience. Not only is my heart rate up but my soul soars.
"Alice" by Cocteau Twins
When I get moving is when I get my best ideas, Images come to me and I feel my most creative.
Matt Bernson, Designer
"On to the Next One" by Jay-Z
I always listen to this in the elevator on the way to the gym to keep me headed in the right direction, it gets me pumped and motivated so that I don't turn around and bail, which is way too easy sometimes.
"U.R.A Fever" by The Kills
Somehow this song makes the awkward motion of the elliptical feel cooler and smoother than it really looks.
"Icky Thump" by White Stripes
When I step up to the bench press and realize I am doing some of the lowest weights the bar will handle, Icky Thump makes me feel like I am throwing up NFL style weights.
Eric Daman, Costume Designer
"Girls on Film" by Duran Duran
Because it pushes me to finish my push ups in my East Village studio every morning.
"Heartbreaker" by Led Zeppelin
Because it gets me jumped up to do my jump rope on the weekends at my cabin in the Catskills.
"Express Yourself" by Madonna
Because it gets my heart pounding and helps me express myself for my own private dance party every Friday night.
Nastia Liukin, 2008 Olympic Individual All-Around Champion Gymnastics
"Super Bass" by Nicki Minaj
Always gets me through my early 8 a.m. workout sessions because the beat is so energizing.
"Remember the Name" by Fort Minor
I always listened to this before any big competition or event to get my heart pumping!
"Empire State of Mind" by Alicia Keys
Now that I'm a New York girl, I love running the streets of NYC listening to this!
Joy Gryson, Designer
"Tongue Tied" by Grouplove
It's such a happy and fun song that it starts my day off on such a positive note, so as I am doing my routine in the morning of sit-ups, crunches and push-ups, it makes it so much easier to continue from one thing to the next!
"Blow Me (One last Kiss)" by Pink
I love to run to this song outside on the West Side Highway at the end of the day. It's a great way to release some of that day's pent up frustration, all the while getting me to the next mile!
"Super Bass" by Nicki Minaj
Because Olivia (my 10-year-old daughter) and I dance to this on the Wii Just Dance game — and it is probably THE most fun way to get some great cardio, while having fun with my girl!
Barry Jay, Barry's Bootcamp
"Lose Yourself" by Eminem
This song is a modern day classic. Eminem is a genius and the driving bass line and his emotion and lyrics push me to fight for my best moments working out. "Look, if you had one shot or one opportunity to seize everything you ever wanted in one moment would you capture it or just let it slip?" THAT'S what I'm talking about! That's what I want my head thinking when I need to get through that next rep with weights or that next minute on the treadmill.
"Step by Step (Tony Moran Radio Edit)" by Whitney Houston
I miss Whitney. I loved her from the first time I heard her voice and she has always been able to move my spirit. I like this one for its clear message that is so totally relatable to working out. It's a journey and we get to our goals one step at a time and there will be challenging days.
"SexyBack (DJ Wayne Williams Ol' Skool Remix) by Justin Timberlake
Love me some Justin and this song speaks to me about getting in shape and being sexy. It's fun and love this ol' skool remix, Missy and Timbaland know how to get my body moving. Justin is also very sexy so it's motivating me to work out to him because the visual in my head is worth working towards!
Sonia Kashuk, Makeup Artist and Founder of Sonia Kashuk Beauty
"Otis" by Kanye West & Jay-Z
This song is perfect for starting a workout — as the tempo builds, so does my energy.
"Stronger" by Kanye West
This song has a great energetic, recurring beat that keeps me motivated.
"Where Have You Been" by Rhianna
I love the high energy, fast paced beat that keeps my heart rate up and gets me through the tough points of my workout.
Alyssa Campanella, Miss USA 2011
"Anything Could Happen" by Elie Goulding
Because those three words — anything could happen — affect every single person in their everyday life. Life can be very unexpected which makes it all the more mysterious.
"Paddle Battle" by Marco Beltrami from the film Soul Surfer
For me, certain film soundtracks really pump my adrenaline. This song is from the part of the film where shark attack survivor and surfer Bethany Hamilton is paddle battling for a wave against her rival competitor. The lyrics are in Hawaiian.
"Turn Up The Radio" by Madoonna (Richard Vission Speakers Blow Remix)
Because the song is incredibly upbeat with excellent bass, which is what I love when it comes to working out especially cardio. It was the Miss USA 2012 pageant on NBC's opening song and I have been addicted to it ever since.
Jordyn Wieber, American Artistic Gymnast, 2012 Olympics
"As Long As You Love Me" by Justin Bieber
"Stronger" by Kelly Clarkson,
"The Fighter" by Gym Class Heroes
I like these songs because they are upbeat and I listen to them on my way to practice to get pumped up and excited to work out. I work out at Twistars Gymnastics in Lansing, MI, and my favorite activity (besides gymnastics) is running outside with my sister!

High-spirited event keeps
leader's vision alive
The annual Betty Williams Keaton Scholarship Gospel Extravaganza will start at 5 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 14, at First Elizabeth MB Church in Quincy, Florida on Sunday. This program is sponsored by the Williams family and the Gadsden Mass Choir. It will raise scholarship funds for local students. Guest performers will include the Bethlehem Male Chorus from Tallahassee and other local groups in the Gadsden County area.
In 2006, a recent graduate of the University of Central Florida with Gadsden County roots moved back to her father's hometown Quincy to teach at Carter-Parramore Academy, thinking the city's proximity to Florida State University would give her the opportunity to one day pursue what had long been her goal: become a law school graduate.
The Gadsden County Sheriff's Office is currently investigating an armed robbery of a convenience store that occurred at 9:45 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 23, at the Neel Food Mart in the Shiloh Community.
The retirement of the Quincy Fire Department's chief, Scott Haire, was announced Tuesday at the Quincy Commission meeting.
Haire said he had already submitted his resignation letter and dated it effective March 1, his last days on the job probably being the last days of February.
His classroom walls are covered with drawings of algebraic expressions on handmade posters he calls anchor charts, giving one the sense that student eyes seeking some distraction will find none.
In Abria Harris' class, there is no escape from his math, and his grasp is over his students in a way both sweet and stern that leaves them describing him as engaging.
It's clear he has quickly taken to his role in the classroom. And the accolades prove it. Earlier this month, Harris was named the county's Rookie Teacher of the Year.
The Quincy Police Department is investigating a robbery that occurred AT ABOUT 12:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 22. Police were called by a 55-year-old female reporting she had been robbed of her purse by two men who pretended to need help with
The victim was placing items in her car in the area of North Love Street and Washington Street when two men drove up next to her.

Hajj: Journey to the Heart of Islam, British Museum | Visual arts reviews, news & interviews
Hajj: Journey to the Heart of Islam, British Museum
Both scholarly and profoundly moving, an in-depth exploration of one of the five pillars of Islam
Hajj: Journey to the Heart of Islam is an exhibition about faith that even an avowed atheist might find rather moving. The last of the British Museum's series of in-depth exhibitions exploring aspects of the three great Abrahamic religions, the exhibition attempts to shed light on what is, to outsiders at least, the most mysterious of religious rituals. And in so doing one is left undeniably humbled by the miracle of transcendent faith, as we read and listen to the words of believers experiencing what must be seen for them not only as an encounter with God but a deep sense of connection with fellow Muslims as they enact a series of complex rituals that were fixed in the time of Abraham.
For those who know little of Islam, Hajj is the pilgrimage to Mecca that must be completed by every Muslim if they are fit and able, at least once in his or her life, as the Prophet Mohammed himself did in the last year of his. It is one of the pillars of Islam and takes place during the last month of the Islamic year, known as Dhu'l Hijja. This year around three million pilgrims are expected to congregate for a spiritual journey that is both personal and communal.
We are offered fascinating glimpses of a world that has always been closed to non-Muslims
Since pilgrims now come from all corners of the globe, the first part of the exhibition concentrates on the history of this once perilous journey in which, long before the days of air travel and convenient packages tours, sickness and death – whether by cholera and other communicable diseases or by the hand of the occasional murderous bandit – were not uncommon. Whether that journey was taken by boat or by camel, over several weeks or many months, we see the four main routes to Mecca broadly mapped out for us, including one of the earliest: a road in what is now Iraq established at the turn of the 9th century by Zubayd, wife of Harun al-Rashid of Arabian Nights fame. It comes complete with staging posts and reservoirs for necessary rest and refreshment.
Under the great dome of the British Museum's Reading Room, visitors move in a circle as they pass by each display area, replicating the anti-clockwise motion of pilgrims as they encircle the Ka'ba, the cube-shaped granite building that Muslims believe was built by Abraham and his son Ishmael. The Ka'ba is, in fact, encircled seven times, a ritual that enacts Abraham's inspection of the Ka'ba when it was completed, after Adam's original construction. Further rituals, all of which last a total of six days, sees the drinking of holy Zamzam water (right: a 19th-century bottle containing Zamzam water) from a local fountain, enacting the discovery of water by the parched and frantic Hager after Abraham abandoned her and their baby son in the desert, and the throwing of stones at a pillar to enact the casting out of the devil by this same prophet.
There is much text, though few material riches to marvel at – ancient, pictorial maps of Mecca and Qiblas (compasses that point the worshipper towards Mecca during prayer; left: Ivory sundial and Qibla pointer, Turkey, 1582-3), plus a section that includes the modern-day souvenir tat you can buy once there – so there's a short film at the beginning of the exhibition that helpfully makes sense of it all.
En route, in the form of excerpts from the journals of individual pilgrims, we are offered fascinating glimpses of a world that has always remained closed to non-Muslims. These include those of the intrepid Victorian explorer and orientalist Richard Francis Burton, who did the Hajj in 1853 disguised as an Afghan doctor.

For Penn State, the winning formula for 2014 Big Ten Wrestling Championships was four times four.
The Nittany Lions won four their fourth consecutive team title at the conference championships at Kohl Center at the University of Wisconsin in Madison Sunday afternoon… two of the program's top wrestlers, David Taylor and Ed Ruth, concluded their collegiate careers with four Big Ten titles of their own… while Cael Sanderson was named Coach of the Year for the fourth consecutive year.
Both Taylor and Ruth won respective 165 and 184-pound titles thanks to major-decision victories over University of Iowa rivals, becoming the 12th and 13th four-time Big Ten champs… and the first four-time conference titlewinners in Penn State wrestling history.
In addition, Taylor was named the tournament's Outstanding Wrestler honor for the first time, and Big Ten Wrestler of the Year for the third time.
This year, the team title race was closer than in the past… with Penn State claiming the top spot with 140.5 points… just five-and-a-half more than second-place Iowa. In fact, going into the finals, just a half-point separated the two teams who each had five wrestlers vying for titles.
The one individual champ for the Hawkeyes was Tony Ramos at 133 pounds.
In third place in the team standings was Minnesota, with 118.5 points, and one titlewinner: Tony Nelson at heavyweight.
Ohio State placed fourth with 86.5 points. The Buckeyes had two champs in Logan Stieber at 141, and Nick Heflin at 197.
Nebraska came in fifth place with 79 points. A pair of Cornhuskers claimed titles: James Green at 157, and Robert Kokesh at 174. Just a half-point behind was Illinois, with 78.5. Jesse Delgado was the lone champ for the Fighting Illini, at 125.
Northwestern's Jason Tsirtsis won the 149-pound conference championship.
The Big Ten will have 74 qualifier allocations for the 2014 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships, to be held in Oklahoma City March 20-22.

Gay Agenda Launches New Weapon: Lady Gaga, Crowd Surfer
The gays are organized like never before. Their gay agenda now reaches into every walk of life: music, movies and even the television media.
It was only twenty years ago, when gays like Ellen Degeneres announced her gayhood, and therefore, we forced her little sin-hording sitcom off national television. But now the requisite snippy office gay and even a gay judge is a necessity on every television show. Where did we go wrong, America?
What scares me more than anything, it's the fact that the gays are recruiting more and more talent to their agenda. Back when things were more safe, the gays only had musical acts Liberace, Elton John and that one guy from the Three Tenors. Their music was all out of touch, they were either sloppy or sweaty with fat, or in Elton's case, just too eccentric, to really be a threat to youth.
But now, we have shows like American Idol who make kids glamorize gays like Adam Lambert. In this year's America's Got Talent, we see a opera singer who dresses like a British dandy and calls himself Prince Poppycock. And more dangerously, the new singer who calls himself Lady Gaga and has lushes up front!
Lady Gaga is the gay's ace in the hole, their diamond in the rough. Lady Gaga has the body of a fit woman, all accept in one area that he keeps heavily veiled. The gay's idea here is to entice boys to think, "Wow, this is making me excited with sin" when they look on Lady Gaga, then they turn on MTV to hear reports, "Gaga may be a man", which makes them confused and ripe to be dallied by a gay from behind, then think that is normal.
Some parents out there say I'm being alarmist. I receive emails with such comments every day and even more on my personal site, Twiiters and Myspace. But here you me. I am not! Look, I have gathered evidence.
Recently, the gay agenda ordered their prime agent Gaga to strip to his bare body at a concert, and then throw himself into the crowd and let fondling take place. When you look at these pictuers, you can tell some of these children are no more than 12 or 13 year olds. I see even a few elementary school students on there, touching up the bosoms and rump of Gaga. Even copping a feel of his fake milksacks.
Now parents, tell me, how is this appropriate? What does all of this and the bad words you hear in the video have to do with good music? You never saw John Denver or Michael Bolton do these things, and they were very popular artists. The only thing going on here is the gay agenda, exposed and raw.
I'm not going to issue a warning. I want you parents to take responsibility and sit there, with your wives and children, and explain to them why this is in. Let them just see it and get it out of the way.
Gay Agenda, Act 1: Lady Gaga Entices With Stripped Crowd Surfing
Here we can see Gaga is already wearing hooker clothing. Notice how young the people are in the crowd, and you can see already their eyes are glossy with sin. Unnatural fornicated thoughts are crossing their minds.
Many are also already using their iPhones to take pictures and video, where they instantly upload to YouTube, Twitters teets and Facebook so their friends can get a live shot of the sin-fest. This means that instantly, Gaga's gay agenda ploy is working and spreading through billions across the planet.
The gays are brilliant strategists and viral marketers. Just look at all of the advertisers they have recruited at this 'concert'. This just proves how we must double our efforts in blocking their agenda by getting FCC control over all transmitted images sent by at least youth under the age of 21. It should have to be reviewed first or sent through an automatic image filter technology, blocking images such as this with exposed rump bodies.
Gay Agenda, Act 2: Lady Gaga Lets Children Brush Faux-Whispering Eye/Rump/Satan Scepter
Look where the hands are grabbing. Right where a woman's fertile secret place, the whispering eye, should be. With Gaga, it is widely suspected that what's really there is a devilrod. The crowd of young men is so confused they do not care, but just reach to touch it, along with the rumps and the milks.
Parents let their children go to these things. They treat their college kids to tickets to go to these gay orgy rests with their friends, not knowing the gay agenda is using this opportunity to confuse their minds and also make them unaware marketers for their agenda.
Gay Agenda, Act 3: Scent of Sin
Here we see a young man's face is getting up close and personal with the gay agenda. It is a case of literally looking into the eye of the beast. There was a philosopher, named Friedrich Nietzsche, who once said:
When you look into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you. – Nietzsche
This means that when we look deep into something, we must be careful for we can become that ourselves. The gays are naturally good at the arts and writings, so kn0w this fact like the back of their little foul fecal scented hands. So what they do, is have their new performers gyrate and expose their sins, so just like with this poor young man, they get a good look at their favorite thing on Earth.
They then hope that Nietzche's philosophy will kick in and they get to claim another victim of their agenda. My friends, the gay agenda is the most dangerous, ominious abyss of them all. It is always lurking: on our children's schools playgrounds. Television. Music and movies, trying to get them to look into it and become it. This is why we must never allow gays to marry or to let their lifestyle seem normal: it will destroy mankind. Do not let your children look into the abyss, parents and friends.
Gay Agenda, Act 4: Winning the Crowd
Arms outstreched. Mouths agape in cheer. This crowd has been won; man and woman, girl and boy. They all now cheer for Gaga's sin and I bet a good 2% of them were corrupted and now think the gays are a normal people and it's okay to be just like them.
We must remain vigilant, my friends. We must stop gays from recruiting more and more people.
We are at a societal breaking point. There are still enough people of right mind and heart who hate gays and abide by the Bible, in doing everything possible to let gays know they will burn in hell and God does not approve of their choice to live a life encrusted in sugar-plummed anal sins.
Gays all need to know this and know the fear of God, so they will choose to live right. The more we have people like Gaga, indoctrinating people to the gay agenda at such a tender age like those in this crowd, the more souls we will lose to Satan.
Let's look at this video and you can tell there is a Satanic presence here. It must be just like how it was in Soddom and Gamorah. Let's look and please all pray. Pray until the day we have no more gays. Amen:
- Excited
- Fascinated
- Amused
- Shocked
- Sad
- Angry

dr pepper is a bit like cherry coke imo
and kool aid is a powder that you mix with water - you get it in all different flavours.
Glad you were able to make the comparisons, Julie!
By the way, Kool-Aid is a children's drink, although I'm sure some adults drink it as well. I didn't care for it as a child, and I don't like it any better as an adult! :lol:
It's available in presweetened or unsweetened (you add sugar) packets that are mixed with water (usually one or two quarts--not sure of the size these days). There are tons of flavours, none of which taste good to me. But if you're staying some place where it makes sense to make some, try it and decide for yourself! :D
Edited to add:
Kool-Aid is a grocery item, so it's available in stores such as Publix or the grocery section of Super Target or WalMart Supercenters.
Iced/cold tea is available in restaurants (some counter service, but not sure within WDW) and bottled in stores.
Root beer (also called sasparilla, if you dine at LTT) and Dr. Pepper are carbonated beverages available at soda fountains, in cans and bottles of varying sizes. It's hard to find root beer (there are many different brands) at WDW, although many of the TS restaurants seem to have it. Not sure about Dr. Pepper--it tastes like a nasty cough syrup I had to take as a child, so I never pay any attention to it. However, many people (including Leu's DD) enjoy it, so don't take my word for it! :lol:
DR PEPPER IS NOTHING LIKE CHERRY COKE!!!! :eek: :mental:
Oops sorry having a Cherry Coke moment. :D
I love root beer - it's one of the things I look forward to on Florida trips - the stuff we have here just doesn't cut it. It is an acquired taste though I think. I was gutted when MacDonalds stopped selling it over here - only reason I'd go in there. :sigh:
Try Mountain Dew too if you want a serious fix of additives. :lol:
Ohhhh, yeah! Mountain Dew can have you bouncing off the ceiling! :lol: I know many people who drink it for the mid-afternoon doldrums!
McDonald's in the US hasn't served root beer for many years. There may be the odd franchise location that sells it, but it isn't part of the official menu. Ditto for most of the other franchise quick service places. :sigh: Although In-N-Out Burger does sell it. I usually have one every month during hot weather! :rolleyes:
Good for me, actually. I don't drink it very often! :lol:

there's a shop in town down the road where the side entrance of woolies used to be, it's sells Japanese stuff if i remember correctly - they sell mountain dew!

College Hockey:Hobart looks to replace key losses
Coach: Mark Taylor, eleventh season overall and at Hobart (144-95-27)
2009-10 record: 13-10-3 overall, 9-4-2 ECAC West (third)
2009-10 team offense: 3.62 goals/game (fourth)
2009-10 team defense : 2.73 goals/game (third)
2009-10 power play: 23.3 percent (third)
2009-10 penalty kill: 82.1 percent (third)
Key losses: Nine corps role players that formed the heart of the team and Chris Cannizzaro (11g, 11a)
Key returners: Matthew Wallace (15g, 13a), Nick Broadwater (.925 savepercent, 2.41 gaa)
2010-11 predicted finish: Fourth
On paper, it certainly can be said that Hobart is in a rebuilding year this season. The Statesmen lost nine skaters to graduation, all players who filled key roles on the team. In addition, freshman phenom Chris Cannizzaro did not return to school this fall after scoring eleven goals last year.
"We lost some very good players in the last two years," said Hobart coach Mark Taylor. "A lot of those guys brought certain ingredients to the team and when all of those ingredients were all working together, it was pretty good success for us."
However, all is not lost for Hobart, as the Statesmen have a couple of things going for them early this season.
First off is a later start than any other team in the league. Hobart's opening game isn't until November 5, three weeks later than any other team. The extra practice time will give Hobart time to gel as a team and for the freshmen to get up to speed. It also means that Hobart jumps right into league play with its first game, without the benefit of any nonconference tune-ups.
"Right now, we look pretty good playing against ourselves," said Taylor. "Hopefully we'll look a lot like Hobart teams of the past and stay out of the injury bug this year. It would be nice to have a game under your belt before playing a team that has played three or four already, but it is more about the mindset you have going into it."
The second thing is that Hobart only lost a third of its scoring from last year. Returning senior Matthew Wallace had a breakout season last year, leading the Statesmen with 15 goals, including four short-handers.
The large freshman class will need to step right in on the offense early in the season. Four players to keep an eye on will be forwards Tommy Fiorentino, Kyle Clark, Brett Riley, and Tom Rush.
"We had to bring in some forwards to fill some of the holes," said Taylor. "It is a diverse class. They are all different in what they bring to the table."
Hobart was derailed early last season by the injury bug and now find themselves with a gaggle of freshmen, but coach Taylor and his staff have a proven ability to meld players together into team roles.
"One of the biggest challenges is reshuffling ourselves a bit," said Taylor. "For the past two years, the scouting report on us has been pretty consistent. We will probably have the most shuffled lineup that we have had in a while."

The Stand' a New Generation Fight Promotions (Rick Lopez, Sr., Devin Lopez and Alex Medina) second venture was a success, the pro-Colorado boxing crowd showing support being exactly what Lopez, Lopez and Medina hope to continue as Rick Lopez, Sr. stated, "Our goal is to provide the Colorado boxer an atmosphere here at home where opponents coming in realize very quickly what they are up against. Not having any Colorado vs Colorado bouts is something we feel is well-deserved and quite frankly, long overdue".
Held this past Saturday night at the Crowne Plaza DIA Convention Complex (I-70 & Chambers), Colorado natives Ricky Lopez, Jr., Damien 'Sugar' Vazquez, David Escamilla, Cesar Holguin and Hilario Rameriz-Medina clearly enjoyed fighting in front of loyal, raucous hometown fans.
Hilario Rameriz-Medina (Longmont) improves to 2-3 after getting the split-decision win over a game Fernando Serrano (Kansas) in a 4 round light welterweight bout dropping Serrano to 0-2. Rameriz-Medina ends a 3 fight losing streak with the hard-fought win after coming under the tutelage of former World Champion Donald Camarena.
David Escamilla (Denver) improves to 4-0 after wasting little time disposing of making his pro-debut Antonio Solorzano, stopping the newcomer in round 2 after the Solorzano corner threw in the towel ending their super featherweight bout.
Cesar Holguin (Grand Junction) and Trenton Titsworth (Nebraska) battle to what was declared a draw after 6 rounds in what was an obvious (boring) Holguin win as the much taller Titsworth (6'2") did nothing more than survive the aggressive attempts by Holguin (5'8") to engage, all to no avail in a welterweight bout.
In a bout featuring no Coloradan, Wesley 'Sweets' Capper (Australia) improved to 7-0, 5 KO's after stopping Anthony Madden (Mississippi) with a series of sharp, well-placed body shots ending the Madden night in round 2 of a middleweight scrap.
'You can't judge a book by it's cover', being the appropriate phrase as the 25 years-old Capper 'moon-walked', twirled and spun his way into the ring, most focusing on those antics while paying little attention to his cornermen Richie Sandoval and the recently inducted into the Las Vegas Hall-of-Fame, Miguel Diaz, that being your indicator this may be a set-up as you underestimate the talent Capper has…until the bell rings.
'Sweets' Capper has the tools necessary to be successful at 160 pounds and should be considered a legitimate threat to anyone in the division.
Ronnie Austion (Michigan) improves to 6-0 4 KO's after destroying a completely outmatched Cody 'Locked n Loaded' Land (Nebraska) in round 1, a series of body shots ending the Land night as he came 'unloaded' to Denver in that light welterweight matchup.
Damien 'Sugar' Vazquez (Denver), the nation's youngest professional fighter now training in Las Vegas, remains undefeated at 5-0, 3 KO's, after Alexis Diaz (Puerto Rico) now 0-6-1, showed the correct way to hold your opponent, him having perfected the art of holding on the opposite side of referee Curtis Thrasher. Having only one point deducted was a blessing for Diaz, his focus clearly on not becoming KO victim #4 of Vazquez. Body shots, head movement, sharp jabs and stamina are the forte of young Damien 'Sugar' Vazquez as he continues to leave no doubt he's a force to be reckoned with in the super flyweight division.
It was a solid performance by Vazquez as AG Promotions (Antonio Gates) realizes their gem is clearly a legitimate flyweight contender guided under the capable hands of Richie Sandoval, Miguel Diaz and Damien's dad, Faustino (Oscar) Vazquez.
This kid is the real deal and fight fans nationwide should pay attention.
The main event featured featherweight Ricky Lopez, Jr., (Brighton) a Colorado fan favorite who is making a comeback of sorts after deciding earlier this year to have his dad, Rick Lopez, Sr., guide his career following brief stints with Golden Boy Promotions and Top Rank Promotions not getting the desired results.
Having Rick Lopez, Sr. directing his son's career has seemingly gotten the young Lopez ship righted as he dominated and stopped in round 2, Antoine Knight (Michigan) as referee Stephen Blea (and the crowd) had seen enough of the excellent body work by Lopez with little to no retaliation from Knight.
Ricky Lopez, Jr. improves to 12-4, 4 KO's while Knight drops to 3-10.
In what was a nice gesture worth mentioning, New Generation Fight Promotions donated some 100 tickets to area amateur boxers who would have otherwise been unable to attend.
Look for New Generation Fight Promotions to hold their next fight card (featuring Colorado vs out of state competition) sometime mid-November 2014.

Our Broken Food Supply
former FDA Commissioner David Kessler is calling our food-safety system broken. Nancy Shute of the U.S. News & World Report has more:
Keeping homegrown food safe, too, requires diligence, from the field through the processing shed and factory, all the way to the supermarket. Farmers are legally bound to produce food that doesn't pose a health risk; so are manufacturers and retailers. Costco, for example, uses its own labs to test food samples for microbes and hires third-party auditors to inspect suppliers' farms and factories. Whole Foods, which increasingly looks abroad for its organic products, requires growers to shun pesticides allowed in their countries but not here. But with little oversight, human error or expediency can cause disease and death. "Our food-safety system is broken," former FDA Commissioner David Kessler told a congressional hearing this month. Last week, the USDA declared that 56,000 pigs fed melamine-tainted feed are safe for human consumption.

WESTFIELD TWP. — The Wadsworth girls soccer team knew Cloverleaf was going to bring a little extra motivation Wednesday night at Gene Clark Stadium.
After the Grizzlies posted a 14-goal victory on the rival Colts a year ago, nothing less could be expected.
With that in the back of both teams' minds, Wadsworth took care of business en route to a convincing 4-0 Suburban League win.
"My biggest thing was letting them know not to be complacent when we come out and handle business from the get-go, because they've got something to prove," Grizzlies coach Paul Williford said. "I thought for the most part, we did that. We took a little bit of sting out of them and kept the pressure on the whole game."
Wadsworth (3-0, 1-0) did that from the start with All-Gazette forward Leah Runkle and midfielder Brooke Braman bringing the attack to the Colts (2-1, 0-1).
Runkle was able to break through the backline midway through the first half, when the senior took a feed from Braman and connected on the first of three goals. The hat trick gave Runkle five goals in two days.
"I was just happy to get going," the Bowling Green State recruit said. "To get the season going and get the team where it needs to be and where I personally feel I should be, it's just nice to get going for my senior year."
Runkle kept those good feelings going with 11:48 left, when Sarah Berger found her inside off a direct kick from the top of the box. With the Colts building a wall, Berger pushed a pass through traffic to Runkle, who dribbled it twice before netting her second goal.
Runkle's final goal came late in the second half with the game already decided.
"Especially when most teams know about her, for her to still be getting goals is great," Williford said. "This year, we're looking at other people to contribute as well, and she's actually putting some assists in and helping us all around."
A little more than a minute after Runkle's second goal, outside midfielder Courtney Palange, fresh off a two-goal, two-assist game the night before, crushed a shot that hit the crossbar. It bounced straight down before spinning into the net to make it 3-0 just 30 minutes in.
It took the wind out of the sails of a Cloverleaf team that started five freshmen and a sophomore.
"The girls played their hearts out. It was an emotional game for them," Colts coach Guillermo Porras said. "They knew what they were going up against, and it was a mental lapse on our part. That's all it takes."
For the game, the Grizzlies had 17 shots to Cloverleaf's five and held a 9-2 advantage in attempts on goal.
The Colts moved All-Gazette midfielder Lauren Gokey around the field for most of the first half to provide help where needed, which led to a couple of runs but limited shot attempts.
A lot of that had to do with the constant pressure applied by a Wadsworth backline anchored by Berger. The athletic senior, who was joined for most of the night by fellow 12th-grader Erica Hantzche and underclassmen Julia Horton and Mikaela Flath, made things difficult for Cloverleaf's young strikers and easy for second-year goalkeeper Hannah Centea.
"They're the core of our team," Williford said. "We've got a couple of younger ones out there that are definitely stepping up and contributing, and then the seniors just take the lead and they follow. They're doing a good job."
Cloverleaf freshman Katelyn Young stopped six shots, one coming on an impressive dive to her left late in the second half.
While the Colts didn't earn their third straight victory, they did earn the respect of their county foe.
"They're very good and we knew that," Runkle said. "We knew that we couldn't just come into this and win. We had to work hard and stay focused."

A three-car crash snarled southbound traffic on Interstate 205 and other local roads Thursday morning.
The crash was reported midspan in the left southbound lane of the Glenn Jackson Bridge around 7 a.m. and was cleared just before 9 a.m.
Portland police spokesman Sgt. Pete Simpson said there were no injuries reported in the crash, but all three cars had to be towed from the scene.
WSDOT spokeswoman Abbi Russell said the backup caused a few secondary collisions, which exacerbated the problems.
"It really shows how interconnected our system is," she said.
The crash caused state Highways 500 and 14 to backup for miles around I-205.
Russell said WSDOT posted traffic signs warning about the backup starting at 7 a.m. She said many people took Interstate 5 instead of 205, causing I-5 to be backed up past Main Street.

California voters strongly favor legalizing marijuana. The state Democratic Party to take a platform last month urging California to follow Colorado and Washington in ending marijuana prohibition. The state's lieutenant governor, Gavin Newsom, has called for legalizing the drug.
However, Gov. Jerry Brown said "I think we ought to kind of watch and see how things go in Colorado." Brown as he was questioned while presenting his state budget this year.
To develop rapidly the attitudes toward marijuana legalization is slightly the majority of Americans now support legalizing the drug as Democratic governors across the country, Mr. Brown among them, find themselves uncomfortably expected with their own turf.
More Democrats are following Colorado and Washington with respect to legalization of marijuana as recreational. At the same time, governors are hesitant in supporting medical-marijuana proposals or invoking the kind of law-and-order and public-health arguments more commonly heard from Republicans. While 17 states are leaning toward Democratic in approving it.

Chris Adrian's 'The Great Night' Takes on The Bard
In "The Great Night," Chris Adrian's retelling of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream," three troubled, lovesick people wander into San Francisco's Buena Vista park, and tumble into another dimension.
Molly (depressed after her boyfriend's suicide), Henry (OCD, PTSD) and Will (a glum arborist) are headed for the same party. Rather than a night of flat beer and half-hearted flirtation, the mortals are cast into a twisted fairyland. Residents include a frog-sized gnome with curly brown hair, a boy with a bunny tail, a seven-foot tall creature covered with twigs and leaves, and Shakespeare's fairy king and queen, Oberon and Titania. The hapless humans find that, in addition to weird gnomes and talking trees, past traumas have come back to haunt them.
Blending fantastical and mundane elements is nothing new for Mr. Adrian, a 40-year-old polymath who has a degree from Harvard Divinity School and who's currently finishing a fellowship in pediatric oncology at the University of California San Francisco. His previous works feature angels, divine acts of vengeance and miraculous healings. His debut novel, "Gob's Grief," takes place during the American Civil War and follows characters' quest to build a time machine that brings the dead back to life. In "The Children's Hospital," his mammoth, 600-plus page 2006 novel, a cataclysmic flood wipes out everything except a pediatric hospital, which is watched over by four talkative angels. Mr. Adrian is currently working on a children's book and a semi-autobiographical graphic novel inspired by the movie "The Exorcist."
"The Great Night," which comes out today, owes little to Shakespeare's original, apart from a sprinkling of references. There's the pastoral setting, a play-within-a-play and the royal fairy couple and their disobedient servant, Puck (Mr. Adrian's Puck is a shape-shifting monster who appears as a black dog, a little boy and a flame).
In Mr. Adrian's tale, Titania and Oberon are grieving for their "adopted" (technically, kidnapped) human son, who died of leukemia. During a scene in the hospital, the boy asks the fairies for a "tiny feast" to appease his hunger, and they deliver a miniscule meal, complete with a dime-sized fudge cake and pastries the size of thumb tacks: "Apart from the size of it, there was nothing magical about the food. It shouldn't have sated him any more than half a dozen peanuts…He looked around the bed and around the room, as if for more food, so when he opened his mouth wide Titania thought he was going to shout or cry. But he burped instead, a tiny little noise, commensurate with what he had eaten."
The Wall Street Journal: What drew you to Midsummer Night's Dream as source material?
Chris Adrian: I'd wanted for a long while to try retelling a Shakespeare story, but the hard part about that is that the originals are kind of hard to top. You have to have a really compelling story to tell completely aside from whatever story is being told in the Shakespeare version.
Are there other Shakespeare-remakes that you admire?
I really like "A Thousand Acres" by Jane Smiley. That was one of the first literary novels I ever read as a young person, and it totally went over my head that it was based on "King Lear."
One plot element that helps humanize Titania and Oberon is their grief over the boy's death. How did your work in pediatric oncology shape that story line?
Figuring that out was part of figuring out how to tell the story in a way that was separate from the Shakespeare plot. They ended up being cast in that role of grieving parents in large part because of the set of parents I met. And the chapter where the little boy's in the hospital was inspired pretty directly by something one child said. The child was telling the doctors that he wanted one tiny little feast because they weren't being allowed to eat. The story fell together around that statement. And the parents, they were physically striking and graceful, both in their resilience and in their mounting worry.
Though there's a lot of darkness and tragedy throughout, this novel seems somewhat lighter and more farcical than some of your previous work. What lead you in this direction?
Initially, compared to some of the other stuff, this project seemed kind of like a lark. As I got more of it done or figured out what it was actually about a little better, it seemed like a little more of a piece with the other stuff. The characters in "The Children's Hospital" and this novel are extremely bothered by some of the unpleasant discoveries they make in their lives, and by losing people they love.
How many times have you read "A Midsummer Night's Dream"?
Probably between 15 and 20 times. When I was stuck on the novel, I would go back and read the play. Not that it helped necessarily.
Supernatural themes come into your fiction a lot, and you've described yourself as a lapsed atheist. Did your religious views come into focus when you were getting your divinity degree?
I still don't really know. I finally graduated from divinity school last fall. The whole time I was there, there's a little space on your study card where you're supposed to fill in what your tradition or denomination is. I left mine blank the whole time and no one seemed to notice or care.
What are you working on now apart from the children's novel?
That's what I'm mostly working on now. I had a whole draft that I more or less had to throw away and started over… I figured out at last that it wasn't really any fun, and the lack of fun seemed like an obligatory death knell for a children's novel. Probably the next big project besides that is a book of stories mostly about Puritans or their descendants, physical descendants or spiritual or intellectual inheritors of Puritanism. The stories take place between 1630 and 2008 or so…I've been working on a graphic novel about a lady who marries the demon who possesses Linda Blair in "The Exorcist." It has lots or relatively autobiographical stuff in it. It's about my mom and my brothers and sisters as much as it's about Linda Blair.

The close vote changed for two levies on the May 3 ballot, but the result was the same — a win for Highland Schools and a tentative win for the Medina Township Police Department.
With official results in Wednesday, the vote on Medina Township's police levy remains close and there will be a recount on Tuesday, according to the Medina County Board of Elections.
Voters approved the 1-mill replacement and 2-mill additional levy by four votes — 554 to 550.
There will not be a recount for the Highland operating levy, which passed by 23 votes.
On election night, Highland's 6.9-mill levy was passing in Medina County by 17 votes and the township police levy by just two.
Police Chief David Arbogast could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
The police levy will bring in a little more than $1 million a year and cost property owners $94.50 a year per $100,000 of appraised value, according to the Medina County Auditor's Office.
Arbogast has said levy revenue will be used to fill two full-time vacant patrol officer positions next year.
Besides Arbogast, three patrol officers, two sergeants and one clerk comprise the department.
Since 1999, the department partially operated on revenue from a 1-mill levy. It also was subsidized by the township's general fund.
Of Highland's win, Superintendent Catherine Aukerman said waiting for the official results wasn't easy.
"Fortunately, the final results have solidified the majority vote in favor of Highland Schools," she said.
The 6.9-mill operating levy passed by 2,904 votes to 2,881.
"It has been 12 years since the passage of a new operating levy and we are so grateful to all of our Highland supporters for finally making the passage of the levy a reality," she said. "This issue was necessary to keep our school district and community strong. We can now continue to provide the quality education that our students and community rely on and expect from us."
The May 3 levy is expected to bring in about $4.6 million annually over 10 years.
It will cost Highland property owners $217.36 a year per $100,000 of appraised property valuation, according to figures from the auditor's office.
In April, the Highland teachers union and administrators agreed to pay more for health benefits over the next two years, saving the district $1 million.

Strength, resourcefulness and a strong sense of community characterise the diverse people of
the Pacific. Photo: Jane Ussher
Statistics paint only part of the Pacific picture. Behind the numbers detailing the Pacific's lack of progress towards the Millennium Development Goals are unique peoples and cultures with a wealth of natural resources, diverse and culturally strong communities and resilient and capable people.
Resources and community spirit
The huge expanse of sea around the islands of the Pacific is home to the world's largest remaining tuna fisheries – 58 per cent of the world's tuna is now caught in the Pacific region – extensive reef systems and significant populations of whales, sea turtles, dugongs, and saltwater crocodiles.
On land the Pacific contains old-growth forests, valuable minerals, highly productive agricultural land and areas of incredible biological diversity and natural beauty. Many tourists are drawn by the stunning beaches, vibrant cultures and arts, and the warmth of the Pacific welcome.
Within the islands themselves are communities whose strength and resilience lies in systems of community governance, customary ownership of land and history of cultural obligations to share with and serve one's wider community.
The strength of the people
There is a strength and dynamism that springs from Pacific communities, and many are starting to bring about real and lasting change.
Capable, entrepreneurial and resourceful, people are the Pacific's greatest strength. Papua New Guineans were among the world's first agriculturalists, creating sophisticated systems of sustainable agriculture; and Polynesian sailing vessels have traversed great tracts of ocean with the aid of advanced navigational skills.
History and traditions are as numerous as the number of islands in the Pacific and this has created a culturally diverse region in which people are skilled in arts, music and dance.
This richness is reflected in high levels of dignity and pride in Pacific societies. There is strength and dynamism in the initiatives that spring from communities. Many are starting to bring about real and lasting change at the national level as well as locally. The inspiration from these initiatives, building on the creativity and strengths of the local communities, provides hope for the future.

Tectonic Shifts: Haiti Since the Earthquake/
The Center for Economic and Policy Research, TransAfrica
and Teaching for Change invite you to an author event and discussion on the newly released book
"Tectonic Shifts: Haiti Since the Earthquake"
Tuesday, January 24, 2012
Busboys and Poets (14th and V)
2021 14th St. NW,
Washington DC, 20009
Manolia Charlotin, Boston Haitian Reporter
Melinda Miles, Let Haiti Live, TransAfrica
Mark Schuller, Assistant Professor, York College / CUNY, co-editor of Tectonic Shifts
Ben Smilowitz, Disaster Accountability Project
Mark Weisbrot, Center for Economic & Policy Research
Tectonic Shifts offers a diverse on-the-ground set of perspectives about Haiti's cataclysmic earthquake and the aftermath that followed. Starting with a critical analysis of Haiti's heightened vulnerability as a result of mismanagement by officials and the recent changes in neo-liberal economic policies, this book addresses a range of contemporary realities, foreign impositions, and the struggles that the people of Haiti face today.
Through a collection of essays by the voices of Haiti themselves – scholars, journalists and activists - Tectonic Shifts provides lessons on how the people of Haiti managed during the relief and reconstruction periods, and offers hope for those seeking social justice and real transformation in the world. What the people of Haiti teach us is to start by changing ourselves.
For those interested in viewing the State of the Union address on Tuesday at 9 PM, it will be broadcast in the same room, following the author event.
Praise for Tectonic Shifts: Haiti Since the Earthquake:
"A...compelling reminder that the earthquake demands a paradigm shift in our view of Haiti."
- Professor J. Michael Dash, NYU
"Tectonic Shifts is a must read for anyone who has ever heard the word 'Haiti' and would like to know more. Guiding us way beyond the usual narrative tropes and sound bites, this konbit of a book peels away at centuries' worth of misinformation about this much maligned but magnificent country. A phenomenal contribution to Haitian history, politics, culture—and survival—both before and after the earthquake."
- Edwidge Danticat, author of Brother, I'm Dying

The second game of the four game road trip for the Colorado Eagles ended with a 5-2 win against the Odessa Jackalopes and a huge victory for Adam Hogg with his first career hat trick.
The Colorado Eagles started with Kyle Jones in net and peppered the opposing goalie, Michel Robinson, with shots without finding the back of the net. Adam Hogg hit a slapshot from the top of the left circle with one minute six seconds left in the first period to attain an unassisted goal. Although the Eagles spent six minutes in the penalty box for the first period, they still outshot the Jackalopes 15-8.
Second period started with a bang when Adam Hogg gained control of the puck to make a shorthanded top-shelf goal at barely over a minute. Hogg has been hot on the ice this season and he continues to shine making fans say, "Ed who?" The penalties more than doubled during this period with Jason Beatty receiving a five minute fighting penalty for a little sparing match against Morgan MacLean.
Odessa was able to cut the Eagles' lead in half with a goal at five minutes into the second period, which was soon answered by Matt Glasser with a powerplay goal. Shots on goal increased for the Jackalopes to 18 to the Eagles' 12, but Jones was able to maintain control of the net for 17 of those shots.
Third period both teams were fighting hard with their shots on goal and receiving fewer penalties to gain points on the scoreboard. Daymon Rycroft captured the puck at nine minutes into the period to set up Adam Hogg for his third goal of the game and his first professional hat trick. Sebastian Thinel soon answered this goal with one of his own to once again cut the Eagles' lead in half.
Daymon Rycroft ruined any last minute hopes for the Jackalopes with his breakaway and unassisted goal with just two and a half minutes left in the game. The Colorado Eagles won 5-2 and added another hat trick to their franchise history.
Adam Hogg has been playing quite well for his third season with the Colorado Eagles. He has eight goals and six assists this season and has become a fan favorite. Adam Hogg received first star of the game. Daymon Rycroft received second star. Kyle Jones adds another notch to his win belt to achieve a nine game win record in regulation play.
Both teams ended with 39 shots on goal and 23 penalty minutes on 10 infractions. The Colorado Eagles remain in first place with 25 points in the Turner Conference, while the Odessa Jackalopes are in seventh place with 15 points in the Berry Conference.
The Colorado Eagles will continue their road trip by heading back to Wichita¸ Kansas for Friday night's game against the Wichita Thunder. The Eagles may have a small score to settle in that rink so make sure you tune in for the results.
