On Saturday, Baker won its fourth consecutive home contest with a 24-point blowout victory over Culver-Stockton. It was the Wildcats' largest win over a conference opponent since February 2008 when Baker defeated Missouri Valley College by a 25-point margin.
"We're really starting to click on both ends of the court," Ballard added. "It wasn't easy for these guys at the beginning of the season trying to adjust to a new offensive style. I thought our defense was already pretty good aside from a few breakdowns late in games, but now we're really starting to put it all together."
Senior Jaris Wommack continues to steady the Baker offense. Wommack is currently averaging 16.3 points and 1.7 steals per game. He currently ranks 27th nationally in scoring with 424 total points.
"Jaris has had a terrific year," Ballard said. "He's carried the load offensively a lot of nights. Andre (Strozier) and Austin (Bond) have been great all season acting as our second scorers, and I couldn't be happier with the hard work Jack Shortell has put in this year."
With a handful of injuries throughout the year, Baker has had some key reserve players fill in nicely.
"Losing Sam Kenney was a major blow to us early," Ballard said. "If we still had Sam, I think we'd probably be in a better position to win more games. Joe Wachter has really stepped up and played well, considering he is not a natural point guard. These guys have been fun to coach. It's been a learning experience for me, but most importantly it's nice to coach a group of unselfish guys who just want to win."
Looking ahead, Baker is preparing to qualify for the HAAC tournament. Baker (7-9 HAAC) sits in seventh place overall with four games remaining in the regular season.
"The top eight teams make the league playoffs," Ballard noted. "I think if we continue to play the way we have, we should be in a good position to make a little bit of noise in the playoffs."
As it stands now, Baker would be a No. 7 seed and travel to No. 2 William Jewell in the first round of the tournament. Baker could climb as high as a No. 5 seed with a second straight win over MidAmerica Nazarene on Thursday, Feb. 24.
"The guys will be ready to go," Ballard said. "I can assure you that."
The Wildcats return to the hardwood on Thursday evening when they travel to William Jewell College for a 7:30 p.m., tipoff in Liberty, Mo.

A chemical tanker that was left adrift at sea after a deadly fire in its engine room has arrived in San Francisco after a towing journey of hundreds of miles.
The Pine Galaxy, towed by commercial tug boats and escorted by a Coast Guard cutter and a patrol boat, was nudged into the Port of San Francisco on Wednesday.
The stricken 485-foot tanker was expected to arrive in San Francisco earlier this week, but Coast Guard officials say the progress of the ship and the commercial tugboat towing it was delayed by bad weather.
The Pine Galaxy was about 700 miles off the coast of Oregon, en route from Los Angeles to South Korea with 22 crew members on board, when a fire broke out in a machine room in its main engine room on August 13. The fire killed one crewman and left the ship without power or propulsion.
The tanker, registered in the Bahamas, was carrying neutral oil, tetramer, propylene tetramer and vegetable oil. Coast Guard officials say there was no damage to the vessel's cargo tanks, fuel tanks or hull, and that none of the oil-related products leaked into the ocean.
What was described as "installed fire fighting systems" doused the blaze, but the fire damaged the ship's generators. After the fire, attempts to get the ship's engines running again failed.
When the Coast Guard first received word of the fire and the ship being disabled, it activated its "Automated Mutual Assistance Rescue System" to direct ships in the area to check on the tanker.
The Coast Guard also sent an HC-130 Hercules airplane from Sacramento to drop communication equipment to the crew, and dispatched the Stratton-- a 418-foot cutter homeported in Alameda -- to the scene.
As the Pine Galaxy was being towed, the Coast Guard and several federal and state agencies formed what was termed a "safety zone" around the ship.
"Our top priority is ensuring a coordinated effort to get the ship safely into port where repairs can be made," Capt. Greg Stump, commander, Coast Guard Sector San Francisco, said in a statement as the ship approached San Francisco.
While the ship is in San Francisco, it will be inspected and repaired.

Ponytail Extensions
Think "classic hairstyle", and the ponytail pops to mind. This hairstyle is not only very effortless to create, but is also quite versatile. This can give you a glamorous and elegant look, or a fun and relaxed, everyday look.
Ponytails can be seen almost everywhere, from workplaces to fashion runways and the red carpet, with many celebrities sporting this style. Eva Longoria, Kim Kardashian, Fergie, Nicole Richie, Kate Hudson, Sofia Vergara, Lady Gaga, and Penelope Cruz— the list of beautiful celebrities wearing ponytails is endless.
Even if you have short hair, you don't have to wait years to grow it out in order to get a full volume ponytail. With the help of our wrap-around 100% human Remy hair ponytails, it is now very possible to get a gorgeous and long ponytail that's also very easy and convenient to apply.
How to Apply Wrap-Around Ponytails
Our wrap-around ponytails are created to give you the utmost ease and convenience in attaching this piece, that you can even do this by yourself! On the base of the ponytail is a slide comb and Velcro, which makes it very easy to attach to your real hair. There is also a pre-designated strip of hair that enables you to wrap around the ponytail in order to conceal the Velcro.
For fuller volume look, you can opt to first tease a portion of the crown area of your hair and then clip it in to set it aside. You can then gather the rest of your natural hair and tie it in a ponytail. You can also choose whether to make it into a low, middle, high, or even a side ponytail.
Next, get the wrap-around ponytail and then slide the comb between the ponytail holder and your natural hair. Get the Velcro part of the ponytail and wrap it around the tied hair, leaving some of the pre-designated strip of hair. Then gather the hair from your crown area and integrate it into your ponytail, by laying over the rest of the pre-designated strip of hair in order to conceal the Velcro better. Secure this with some bobby pins at the underside of the ponytail.
Our Wrap-Around Ponytails
You can have your wrap-around ponytails customized by us. Simply select the hair color and hair length, which varies between 16" to 32".
Since our products are made of 100% human Remy hair, this can be styled and also heated in order to curl or straighten it. This can also be dyed up to two shades darker.
So whether you're going for a laidback, elegant, sexy, sleek or glamorous look, our wrap-around ponytails can be such a convenient, versatile, and refreshing option to revitalize your hairstyle!

Secrets of Success
Fab Friday..
Friday, July 26, 2013
Buddy and I walked for about 75 min. this am... so muggy and sticky, I started using my extra water and pouring it over my head and down my back, with how hot and sweaty I was, it worked great.... new tip for exercising in the heat...
We went shopping and had a very successful day. My MIL has been looking for a new jacket and I found her one today at a consignment shop. Today all pink tickets were half price, and my MIL's jacket was 1/2 price and another top she bought too. I found a beautiful white blouse but it wasn't 1/2, and I kept looking and a I found an awesome white eyelet longer top that can be worn as a jacket right now, and if I get some more weight off and these boobs get smaller, I might even be able to button it. I also got a nice swingy skirt, that was purple/white/black.... very pretty....It's mid calf length and I used to have one the same style in a peach color, so I know how comfy it is... (Like I need any more clothes- terrible thing to have all my clothes fitting me these days...lmao) Not too many times as I've fought this weight battle, that I didn't have about 3 or 4 sizes in my closet... such a nice feeling...@e bought weights today, a 5 lb, and a 10 lb. kettle weight. I will have to check out SP or Utube to see what to do with them.
Today, we got home it was almost 6:30 and that's usually when I have a problem, but tonite, I made grilled ham and cheese sandwich and the last of that curry... Good meal, really cleaned up my fridge. But broccoli, cauliflower and celery were on sale so my fridge will be full again as soon as I get it all put away. It is so nice to be able to buy low salt/fat/cal ham... This one has only 40 cal in 3 slices....even the sodium was under 300!!! Pretty amazing.....I think I will be making my veggie bags again, it is so easy to fall off the veggies, and I have been noticing it a bit of late.
I went out and acted like Edward Scissorhands tonite and trimmed down our front hedge which I had noticed in driving by was closing in over the walkway, and the letter carrier was going to be getting brushed by bushes especially if it was wet out. Then I crocheted some more on a baby blanket I am making, just a big granny square, for my niece's dd's 14 y.o. friend who is due in Aug....
Well, in the heat, I have been drinking lots and lots of liquids, got back into the Crystal Lite's.... hadn't been using my stash of them in a long time, but I keep water in the car, and in this heat, it gets hot. So, I brought a pkg. with me and added it to the hot water, and had a mandarin tea!!
Breakfast - fibre one, milk, cherries
Lunch - overnite oatmeal, blueberries, raspberries
Snack - BK ice cream cone
Supper - leftover curry, grilled ham and cheese, cherries
Must go post my food and see what I have left to try to get in as many of my nutrients as possible.
Have a great weekend all. Remember to celebrate your successes.

I find it's easier to lose weight if I limit my carbs to once a day--at one meal. Usually it's breakfast. For lunch, a salad with a little protein, or soup; and dinner, salad, protein, vegetables--but no potatoes, etc.That's the general plan but of course I'm human and don't always stick to it. But it works, as they say in the WW commercial.

Busy, busy lately. It makes me tired reading about all you do. But then I had a long day yesterday with my Mom and sister, and I don't think I've caught up on my sleep. We went to the casino in Windsor, Ontario. We go on a senior citizen bus that costs $7. The tolls to drive are $4.75 US and $4.50 Canada, so we save right there. The the casino gives us a $15 voucher to gamble with. I took a short walk in the morning and got the rest of my walking at the casino. Didn't eat as good as you did. I've got to follow your lead.

I like crystal lite iced tea. I dont like all the chemicals and artificial sweetners in this product but I am also very tired of just plain water or water with lemon all the time. I don't drink anything else, except in the winter I might have a hot boullion drink if it is real cold.
I never acquired the taste for coffees and teas, or pops diet or not.
You are learning more tricks as you go along! keep it up!

According to TSN on Monday, Canadian Olympic gold medalist Jeff Carter of London, Ontario scored the game winning goal with only one second left in the first period as the Los Angeles Kings defeated the New York Rangers 3-0. With the victory, the Kings take a 3-0 lead in the Stanley Cup Final and are now only one win away from their second Stanley Cup in the last three years.
Carter, who scored his tenth of the playoffs from Slava Voynov and Justin Williams, delivered a shot that deflected off of Rangers' defenseman Daniel Girardi's skate and past Rangers' all-star goaltender Henrik Lundqvist. The goal really seemed to deflate the Rangers' confidence. The Rangers outplayed the Kings in the first period and right winger Mats Zuccarello had a glorious chance on Kings' goaltender Jonathan Quick, but Quick made an outstanding stick save.
Carter, who won a gold medal for Canada in men's hockey at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, scored his sixth career postseason game winning goal. When the Kings won the 2012 Stanley Cup, Carter not only led players in the playoffs that year with eight goals, but three game winning goals as well.
Another Canadian Olympic gold medalist scored for the Kings in game three. Mike Richards of Kenora, Ontario put the Kings up 3-0 on a goal from Kyle Clifford with 2:46 remaining in the second period. Richards, who scored his third of the playoffs, was also excellent from the faceoff circle, where he won six of eight draws. Richards won a gold medal for Canada in men's hockey at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver.
American Jonathan Quick meanwhile made 32 saves for the ninth playoff shutout in his career. It has been a shaky postseason for Quick, who struggled mightily at times in the Western Conference quarterfinal series against the San Jose Sharks, but a positive attitude even when times were going poorly for him, seemed to get him out of his funk.
The Kings will have a chance to sweep the New York Rangers in game four of the series on Wednesday night. The game can be seen on CBC throughout Canada at 6 p.m. mountain time.

- Elena Sotillo received her PhD in molecular and Cellular Biology from the University of Navarra, Spain, where she focused on the involvement that telomerase activity has in the acquisition of metastasic capability in pediatric bone tumors (Sotillo-Pineiro et al, Ped Res 2004) and on the analysis of mutations affecting tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes as prognostic markers for survival and/or relapse in osteosarcomas and Ewing's Sarcomas (Patino et al, Ped Res 1998; Patino et al, Mutat Res 1999; Patino et al, J Med Gen 2000). At the Fels Institute for Cancer Research and Molecular Biology (Temple University School of Medicine) Dr. Sotillo conducted studies on cell cycle regulation, focusing on the transition from quiescence into G1/S phases, and what molecular events are required to induce unscheduled proliferation and partial transformation of human primary cells (Sotillo et al, JBC 2008; Sotillo et al, JBC 2009; Rivadaneira et al, Gastroenterology 2010; Jayadeva et al, JBC 2010). Currently she is interested on the role that miRNAs play in c-Myc-induced cellular transformation, and how regulation of these miRNAs can be used as therapeutic tools for the treatment of hematological malignancies (Sotillo et al. Oncogene 2011, Sotillo & Thomas-Tikhonenko Phamacol Ther 2011).

ST LOUIS (LALATE) – The Powerball winning numbers for May 8, 2013 went unpicked. So what will be the Powerball winning numbers for this Saturday May 11, 2013? Officials tell news that the winning ticket for Saturday's draw will be worth an enormous two hundred seventy million dollars.
Last night's Powerball winning numbers made one person happy. Officials tell news that one Powerball ticket for the May 8 drawing "was sold at Turkey Hill, 815 Quentin Road, Lebanon." But there was a catch. In a news statement today, officials indicate that the "May 8 winning ticket correctly matched all five white balls, 21-22-26-30-57, but not the red Powerball 27, and added Power Play". As per the Powerball rules, the game will roll over for another drawing this Saturday. The retailer who sold the Lebanon ticket last night "will receive a $10,000 bonus for selling this winning ticket", officials tell news.
The Lebanon ticket hold has not come forward. Officials also tell news that they don't know the person's identify. "Lottery officials cannot confirm the identity of the winner until the prize is claimed and the ticket is validated. Pennsylvania Lottery Powerball winners have one year from the drawing date to claim prizes." They added "The Lottery encourages the holder of the winning ticket to sign the back of the ticket, call the Lottery at 717-702-8146 and file a claim at any of Lottery's seven area offices or at Lottery headquarters in Middletown, Dauphin County."
And yet there were upwards of eight-five thousand Pennsylvania shoppers who also won smaller amounts from last night's drawing. Officials tell news that "in addition to awarding more than $16.6 million in prizes to Lebanon County winners, the Pennsylvania Lottery contributed more than $9.7 million to programs serving the county's older residents."
So will you have the winning numbers this Saturday? If you get the numbers, you will pick up a two hundred seventy million win with a cash value of one hundred seventy-six million. There has been no winner since Pedro Quezada won in Passaic back on March 23, officials remind news. To date, the largest payout in U.S. history still remains the three tickets sold for the March 2013 Mega Millions $656 million win. UPDATE: MAY 11, 2013 – The winning numbers are 6,23,19,43,13 and the Powerball is 16

Inspiration: Private Nicholas Madaras, Kick for Nick
Sports stars are our heroes, whether they score the game winning goal or the walk-off homerun. We admire them. They inspire us. Private First Class Nick Madaras was a star. Killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq, his spirit lives on in a bunch of old soccer balls:
So far, Kick for Nick, the organization created in his honor, has collected over 1,500 balls and they all bare the mark "PFC Nick Madaras" so that everyone remembers Nick's sacrifice and his passion for soccer. Very touching, hopefully it inspires you too.

Events in Boston last week illustrate how technology shapes our personal identity. And how little we understand the process. Boston shows us a foretaste of the new tribalism that relies on ephemeral situations and adrenalin to create a sense of belonging. It will change what it means to be an American.
First, the definitions. We'll start with new tribalism is an individual's sense of self, belonging and loyalty. That sense of self is defined by participating in communal activity responding to an ad hoc event or crisis. Here, it's a new tribe following a terrorist bombing. This new 'tribe' is interesting because its values can supplement traditional ones, at least temporarily.
Doubtlessly you are already asking, 'So is it really new'? In the past, rallies and concerts might be seen as the forerunners to today's phenomenon. Certainly true of the Party rallies in the 1930s, for example. And the various ideologies of the now trite 'happenings' and 'sit ins' in the 1960s, as well as mass spectacles of Woodstock, etc.
True, the online herd mentality has been around for a long time online. Anonymous, OWS and others showed what more purposeful action can trigger more recently in social settings. For our purposes, a new tribe is distinct from committed, long term commitment to a protracted real world problem. It's best seen as an adrenaline based flash mob qua ad hoc join in with the added consequence of effecting events themselves.
An ad hoc new tribe is further distinguished by its broad demographic reach. A broad demographic of age, gender, party affiliation cohere around crisis watching. Unlike single issue groups, a new tribe is both hampered by its ad hoc qualities and given great impact by its reach. Ad hoc interactivity transcends passive concerts or stadium rallies.
Our new tribalism builds upon all the isms of our past. Everyone brings with them our concentric relationship overlays. The strongest origins of identity are from our basic human experience: from family, region to nationality/State. Secondly, abstract allegiances kick in – ideological and religious templates such as secular belief systems, liberal capitalism, fascism, Leninism/Maoism and various offshoots in current American political discourse.
Think of the relationship circles radiating outward here: friends, Watertown, Boston, Mass and its schools, New England, U.S. overall. Joining this tribe yielded the largely emotional and celebratory "We are all Bostonians now" from several continents. A White Ford Bronco chase times 1,000.
The new tribe had a distinct ethos and goal. And celebrated upon success. Identity is more important than mere process. As is the ephemeral nature of the tribe until the next crisis. Thus, we make a distinction with those who focus on process and the hive mind.
On its face Boston's new tribe didn't cause too much trouble. The new tribe crowd sourced photographs, posted police radio chatter, aiding NY papers in their mistakes. Still, the precedent has been set. State efforts to brush back these forays with press conferences and official photos only underscores their impact on events.
Dangerous commingling identities did not occur overtly, either. Yet we saw glimmers. Sober-minded critics of kinetic solutions adopted the militarized expediency values of the moment, observing FBI incompetence and the calling for more deployed force. Once the crisis was over and the new tribe disbanding, these voices reverted to skepticism over enemy combatant status. We may not be so lucky next time.

An upstate South Carolina murder remains unsolved, and now the family is turning to social media for help in finding the killer. Fox Carolina reported the story May 14.
It's difficult to believe 11 years have passed since the murders at Blue Ridge Savings Bank in Greer. On May 16, 2003, bank teller Sylvia Holtzclaw, along with customers Eb and Maggie Barnes, were murdered in cold blood.
Despite a thorough investigation by local police and the FBI, including video footage taken along Interstate 85, no one has ever been charged with the crime.
Now David Holtzclaw has turned to social media to help find his mother's killers. David has gone so far as to post a video on YouTube, where his plea to share this unsolved murder will hopefully lead to a suspect.
"Not a day goes by that I don't wake up in the morning or go to bed at night thinking about her. There's so many things she's missed over the years."
Someone out there has to know something. Eleven years is a long time to live with the guilt, or the knowledge that someone you know did this.
The family hopes this case will soon have some answers, which is possible if every one of you will share David's story with every one of your friends.
David doesn't know whether the person who took three innocent lives that day may live 15 minutes, or 15 hours from him. He and his family want to see justice served.
Remember, you can remain anonymous. If you know anything, please contact the authorities listed below.

text: He enclosed a memorandum prepared by W. G. Heffron of Bellcomm, Inc., on the subject. Phillips stated that fuel reserves on Apollo 10 were such that dispersions seemed acceptable and he would have permitted use of manned guidance during TLI if it had been needed. He pointed out that margins would be much less for the Apollo 11 mission, and that it would be necessary either to reduce the dispersions or limit the use of the capability. ASPO Manager George M. Low replied to the letter on June 13 and submitted the following comments for consideration: ". . . I see little advantage to not attempting manual launch vehicle guidance for TLI. . . . If the dispersions are within the 120 feet (37 meters) per second budgeted for translunar midcourse corrections, the mission would be continued as planned. If the dispersions are within 270 feet (82 meters) per second, the mission would be completed utilizing a slower transearth trajectory. If the dispersions are very large, the mission would be limited to a circumlunar flight in which all of the service propulsion system and LM descent stage propellants could be used for midcourse corrections. . . ."

Read the INTESTINAL CLEANSING PAGE first, before reading this page.
In the Internet alternative medicine counterculture, there is a popular liver and gall bladder flush based on an olive oil and grapefruit juice purge, but in a complex protocol that takes weeks and uses a number of supplements and special dietary requirements (lots of apple juice, for example). The "simple liver and gall bladder flush presented here" is a simplified version of this purge that originates in a chiropractic medical education book of long ago. Although our editors could not locate the source, we recreated the information from personal knowledge. It's too simple to get wrong. A very similar version to the following is at Mary's Herbs.
At bedtime, on an empty stomach, mix and drink one-half cup or more of olive oil (about 4-6 oz.) with the same amount of grapefruit juice. Don't sip -- chug it down. Go right to bed and lay on your right side with your right knee tucked up as far as you can get it. The olive oil will flow up the common bile duct into the liver and the gall bladder and release gall stones that have been stuck there. The gall stones are mostly semi- hardened bile, dark green in color, of sizes from tiny to a half-inch in diameter or so -- sometimes called sludge. They can be squished, and will melt if left at room temperature. If your liver and gall bladder were congested with this sludge and had not been functioning properly, the olive oil will squirt out of you the next morning, undigested, and very likely will flush out any number of these gall stones. The next time you do this flush, your liver and gall bladder should be working quite a bit better, and the olive oil will be digested into a semisolid substance looking somewhat like dumplings. This occurrence demonstrates that the treatment was effective. Repeat the flush, perhaps once a week on a Friday or Saturday night (when you aren't planning to do anything the next morning), until no more green gunk comes out.
Buy Extra Virgin olive oil (Bertolini is a good brand for this) -- it doesn't taste bad by itself. Even though the olive oil tastes OK, it would be tough getting a half-cup down straight. So, you mix it with any kind of grapefruit juice, sweetened or not, as you prefer. The grapefruit juice probably also acts as a cutting agent to help release the stuck gall stones. Take both at room temperature -- they mix better and go down better. The oil and juice separate almost instantly, so you need to use a container that you can open in a second or so. You could even try holding a flat coaster on top of a water glass (but you probably want to try this with just water before you do it with oil and grapefruit juice). Put the two liquids in the container, shake violently, and drink it down immediately. The principle is for a torrent of liquid to wash out the liver and gall bladder so don't sip it, chug it. You might want to chase that with a couple of swallows of pure grapefruit juice to get rid of the aftertaste of the olive oil. That's it -- it's that simple and it works remarkably well.
Some sources on the Internet claim that also taking Epsom salts helps by relaxing the smooth muscles of the bile duct and thus allowing even large-sized gall stones to pass easily.
Some sources on the Internet suggest that these gall stones aren't really gall stones at all, but are artifacts created by drinking the olive oil. "There is considerable controversy about whether this protocol (lemon & olive oil) results in anything other than nausea and the passing of saponified artifacts created by drinking olive oil. To explain: olive oil or any oil in combination with bile salts & by a process known as saponification, can produce soft spheres which contain bile salts & fatty acids. These are not gallstones; they are saponified artifacts." The argument against this position is that, if there were truth to the saponification theory, every time you did the flush you'd get the same results with the discharge the next morning of these green saponified artifacts. The experience of people who have done this flush is quite the contrary -- the first few times produce gall stones, and when they are gone, they are gone. Thus, the green sludge is not being chemically created each time you do the flush.
A note of caution as expressed by a Naturopathic physician on one discussion forum in case you have hard stones: "the process of passing the stones is very painful and can precipitate a surgical emergency. I would not recommend that you try this without the guidance of a licensed Naturopathic doctor. If the stones you have are too large to slide through the common bile duct, I would actively discourage any effort at a liver cleanse or gall bladder flush." Maybe we all should get x-rayed and CT scanned before we do anything -- use your own judgment. But be aware that medical doctors are remarkably unfamiliar with the gall bladder flush, and if they suspect gall bladder problems they will almost invariably recommend surgical removal. That's what they were trained to do, and they get $5,000 for it.
The following message is quoted from a web forum discussing medical issues. This particular topic thread is among pregnant women having gall bladder problems.
Re: gallbladder
If you're going to wait until after the baby is born to have your gallbladder removed, let me give you a little trick that might help you cope. It's a natural gallbladder "flush" and really the best time to do it is when you're NOT having an attack, but I have been known to do it in the middle of an attack just to get some relief.
Okay just to warn you, it sounds really gross and it IS pretty gross but I swear it WORKS like a charm and is completely natural.
You mix equal amounts of extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice (I always squeezed my own) and guzzle it down. I usually used 6 ounces of each for the best results. You have to stir and stir and stir to get it to start to mix together and then the easiest thing to do is just hold your nose and chug it. If you did a search on "gall bladder flush" you'd probably find other variations of it, a lot of them will say to lie down on your right side and "sip" the concoction over the course of an hour. TRUST ME, you can't SIP this stuff. Guzzling it is the best.
What happens is, the olive oil automatically makes your gall bladder start to contract, which will make the stone that is trapped (what is causing the pain) move out of the duct. I can't remember what the lemon juice is for, except to make the olive oil more palatable. Within a few hours and probably the next day too, you will pass the stones in your BM. It's the weirdest thing in the world! Sorry if this is TMI, but I only wish someone had told me about this YEARS earlier so I could have had some relief. You will definitely know that you have passed the stones because they are bright GREEN. The first time I did the flush, I passed literally hundreds of stones. My body just produced them like crazy.
Which is another thing I wanted to tell you. Although eating low fat can HELP, it's NOT what you eat that causes stones or not. It's YOUR body. The stones are made of a certain kind of cholesterol that your body makes, NOT the kind of cholesterol that is in your blood that comes from the foods you eat. People either produce stones or they don't, some at a much faster rate than others. When my surgeon finished my surgery, he told me it was full of thousands of stones .... when I had had the ultrasound a couple of weeks earlier the U/S technician said he'd never seen so many stones. I actually did a flush between the ultrasound and my surgery to kind of "clear out" some of the stones and make it a little easier to remove, but the doc said there were so many that they were spilling out every time he'd try to pull it out and he'd have to go back and get the ones that had come out.
I really didn't mean to go on this long, but I figured if I could help, I would. My doctor was fine with me doing the flushes. The first time I went to see him, we talked for over an hour and he told me, "You're the first patient I've ever had that has studied up on gall bladders more than I have!" He had never heard of the flushes before and actually started recommending them to patients after me since it is all natural.
As far as doing one while pregnant, I don't see any reason why you couldn't, olive oil and lemon juice have nothing in them that would harm the baby. Of course the best bet is to ask your doctor about doing it. But I will warn you, you'll probably get a funny look!
I hope I could help! That pain is just the WORST and I hate to hear about anyone having to live with it!

Quite opposite of the typical instinctive thought, putting a patio around a tree can be very beneficial to the tree. I will cover the fundamental benefit the tree receives from a patio and discuss the pros and cons of different construction materials / techniques.
The significant benefit that a tree gets from a patio is reduced soil compaction to its root zone. If there is no buffer between your feet and the soil, then the compaction that takes place over years of foot traffic becomes a very real stress factor to the tree. A patio can either reduce soil compaction by distributing the weight of your foot steps or eliminate compaction entirely by getting you completely off the ground.
Pavers are a popular choice for construction materials. They do a good job of letting soil and air penetrate the soil and do a fair job of distributing weight load to reduce soil compaction. The bigger each individual paver, the better job it will do distributing weight.
Concrete slabs do a much better job of distributing weight. Because the slab is one big piece, each foot step gets distributed over a larger area. Concrete becomes a problem in two scenarios. One, if you are covering more than half of the root system you might run into water and air exchange issues. And, if your slab requires you dig footing trenches around the edges the trenching might cut roots. However, if you slab is covering a small portion of the trees root system, then you can actually help water retention (remember that trees roots go out 4-5 times as far as the branches). Whenever it rains, the water moves laterally once it gets in the soil. So, water does get up under the concrete. However, as the sun and air dry up the water, the concrete slab will protect the soil underneath and act as an oasis of moisture after exposed soil has long since dried. I have heard and read about concrete buffer soil pH to deadly high ranges, but I have never experienced this on my projects.
The best patio construction material to use around trees is wood. Elevated wood decks get footsteps completely of the soil. And, if you provide small gaps between the boards, water and oxygen will easily access the soil and roots. In addition, the trees leaves will be able to slip through the cracks to the soil surface and retain a natural litter layer that recycles nutrients back into the soil. This is, hands down, the best way to go.
Whatever your approach, remember to leave enough room around the trunk for growth. You don't want your patio girdling the tree trunk. And, if you have to dig piers or footers be careful. So, carry on, be careful and rest assured you are doing your tree a favor.

I've been listening to what you said
And wondering if it could be true
If it's as bad as you say out there
I'll leave the going out to you
Statistics prove its not too bright
To walk the darker streets at night
Or to talk to people you don't know
My worlds become a horror show
There's a murder in my living room
My child is watching avidly
Should I venture out tonight
Tomorrow he'll be watching me
You pay your money take your choice
But every channel plays the same
The audience hears his master's voice
Keeps him scared and keeps him tame
I'm not believing all I see
Fabrications on T.V.
Distort the news, feed us your views
I'm not fooled so easily

The fiftieth-largest public library in terms of print holdings is the Tulsa City-County Library System. Originally, I had the Tulsa City-County Library System (T.C.C.L.S.) ranked in thirty-first place in a tie with the Salt Lake County Library System, the East Baton Rouge Parish Library, and the Newark Public Library. The Tulsa City-County Library System, which has 1,600,000 books, 1,573 electronic books, 99,796 audio materials, and 3,352 print subscriptions.
As of June 6, 2014, it reported a collection of 1,780,762 volumes. The T.C.C.L.S. has a Central Library, four regional libraries, and eighteen branch libraries. It also has Librarium, a fully-functional library branch that is a testing facility.
For example, the books and other materials are arranged by subject like in a bookstore instead of in accordance with the Dewey Decimal System. It has something we have come to expect of public library systems in large cities and their suburbs: large numbers of publicly-accessible desktop computers and Wi-Fi for people who bring in their own laptops and mobile devices. One can borrow tablet computers.
Librarium has self-service Seattle's Best coffee vending. It has self-service machines for borrowing and returning books. More importantly, it has the self-service Business Center, which is helpful to owners of small businesses. Most significantly, it has a Maker's Space like the Chicago Public Library.
I gathered statistics for this list from the American Library Association (A.L.A.); FindTheBest.com, Inc., which gathered the statistics from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services (I.M.L.S.); Mazeer Mohammad's list of "Top 10 Biggest Libraries in the World;" and directly from the Toronto Public Library. I gave the greatest weight to figures cited by Marshall Breeding's "Public Libraries in the United States" profiles on his Library Technology Guides because they have been updated within the last few months. In a few cases, I was able to gather statistics directly from libraries.
To put these statistics for the largest American public libraries in context, the Toronto Public Library has a collection of 11,000,000 items, including books, CDs, and DVDs in forty languages. The Library of Congress has 35,914,864 cataloged books and other print materials in 470 languages 23,276,091 cataloged books, and 12,638,773 large-type books, books with raised characters, and incunabula (books printed before 1501). It also has 68,118,899 manuscripts, 3,420,599 audio materials, 5,478,123 maps, 16,746,497 microforms, 6,589,199 pieces of sheet music, 1,354,126 moving images, 13,640,325 photographs, 104,270 posters, and 605,547 prints and drawings, as of the 2012 Annual Report of the Librarian of Congress For the Fiscal Year Ending September 30, 2012.
The National Library of China has 22,000,000 books, the Library of the Russian Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg has 20,000,000 books, the National Library of Canada has 18,800,000 books, the German National Library has 18,500,000 books, the British National Library has 16,000,000 books, the Institute for Scientific Information of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow has 13,500,000 books, and the Vernadsky National Scientific Library of Ukraine in Kiev has 13,000,000 books. The State Library of the Free State of Bavaria has 9,809,000 volumes, 93,800 manuscripts, and 20,000 incunabula.
Also, according to the A.L.A.'s "Facts and Figures," eight of the ten largest libraries in the U.S.A. are university libraries. The Harvard University Library is the second largest library with 15,826,570 volumes, Yale University Library is the fourth-largest library with 12,368,757 volumes, the University Library of the University of Illinois – Urbana-Champaign is the fifth-largest library with 10,524,935 volumes, the University of California – Berkeley Library is the sixth-largest library with 10,094,417 volumes, the Columbia University Libraries constitute the seventh-largest library with 9,455,312 volumes, the University of Texas at Austin Library is the eighth-largest library with 9,022,363 volumes, the University of Michigan Library (MLibrary) is the ninth-largest library with 8,273,050 volumes, and the Stanford University Libraries constitute the tenth-largest library with 8,200,000 volumes.
An alert reader pointed out that as of 2010-11, MLibrary had 12,438,418 volumes, an increase of 4,165,368 of (roughly 50%). MLibrary is bigger than The Public Library of Cincinnati & Hamilton County (#3 on this list) and smaller than the Boston Public Library #2), at least as far as I can ascertain. I am posting this update on Thursday, June 12, 2014.

Custody and Abandonment Laws in Alabama

It was mentioned to us that he won the custody case due to the ex-wife's refusal of mental evaluation.
Mentioned by whom?
No one ever mentioned that my husband's child was involved in anyway
Involved in what? The custody case between your husband's ex and the father of her younger child? Why would anyone mention anything to you or your husband about that?
we were under the impression that the ex and the child were living with the child's great grandmother.
You were "under the impression"? How is it your husband -- who you said had regular visitation during the relevant time period -- did not know about his own child's living situation?
Now, the grandparent is saying that a judge granted him custody of the child, and did not have to contact either partent because it was viewed as abandonment for both parents. Is this legal? Can a judge grant custody to a grandparent without informing either parent of the petition?
First of all, it appears that you're assuming the information received from the grandfather is 100% accurate. I doubt that's a very smart thing to do. Before questioning the legality of this, I think your husband should ascertain independently what exactly happened by reviewing any relevant court records.
How can the grandparent claim that my husband abandoned the child?
This question doesn't make a lot of sense. You're basically asking how a person can lie.
After your husband obtains information from a reliable source (i.e., by checking the court file as mentioned above), he should contact a local family law attorney to review the relevant information and advise him.

From Wikiquote
Competition is the rivalry of two or more parties over something. Competition occurs naturally between living organisms which coexist in the same environment. For example, animals compete over water supplies, food, and mates. In addition, humans compete for attention, wealth, prestige, and fame.
- Competition is merely the absence of oppression.
- Frédéric Bastiat, Economic harmonies, par. 10.4
- Such a businessman has never become rich whose mouth was full of slander and his heart full of envy of success of the others, who could with great skill reveal the mistakes of his competitor. However that one has never been and will never be poor who serves his customers with words of cordial kindness and whose eyes can see rather the positive than the negative features of the competitor so that he could use them.
- Tomas Bata (1928), translated and cited in: Tribus, Myron. "Lessons from Tomas Bata for the Modern Day Manager." Tvůrčí odkaz Tomáše Bati a současné podnikatelské metody (2001).
- The difficulty in project management is how to apply competition between task efforts and between subtask efforts when such things as the task managers' work, schedules, and budgets are all different. Competition is apparent at only the grossest level, between the U.S. and U.S.S.R.; and this competition is too removed, too broad, and full of too many unknown factors to provide an effective day by day incentive to all project personnel.
- John Stanley Baumgartner (1963) Project management. p. 86
- I believe that anyone can be successful in life, regardless of natural talent or the environment within which we live. This is not based on measuring success by human competitiveness for wealth, possessions, influence, and fame, but adhering to God's standards of truth, justice, humility, service, compassion, forgiveness, and love.
- Thou shalt not covet, but tradition
Approves all forms of competition.
- Arthur Hugh Clough, "The Latest Decalogue", lines 19-20
- Published in The Poems and Prose Remains of Arthur Hugh Clough...Volume II: Poems (1869), page 186
- And I saw that all toil and all achievement spring from one person's envy of another. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

- You have reduced the number of wars—to earn all the bigger profits in peace, to intensify to the utmost the enmity between individuals, the ignominious war of competition!
- Friedrich Engels, Outlines of a Critique of Political Economy (1844)
- The liberal economic system had done its best to universalise enmity, to transform mankind into a horde of ravenous beasts (for what else are competitors?).

- Prostitutes are the inevitable product of a society that places ultimate importance on money, possessions, and competition.
- Jane Fonda, in Thomas Kiernan, Jane: An Intimate Biography of Jane Fonda (1970)
- The dominant culture of the world teaches us that The Other is a threat, that our fellow human beings are a danger. We will all continue to be exiles in one form or another as long as we continue to accept the paradigm that the world is a racetrack or a battlefield.
- Eduardo Galeano as interviewed by Jonah Raskin, "Saying More with Less," Monthly Review, vo. 61, n. 5, October 2009.
- The world of antitrust is reminiscent of Alice's Wonderland: everything seemingly is, yet apparently isn't, simultaneously. It is a world in which competition is lauded as the basic axiom and guiding principle, yet "too much" competition is condemned as "cutthroat." It is a world in which actions designed to limit competition are branded as criminal when taken by businessmen, yet praised as "enlightened" when initiated by the government. It is a world in which the law is so vague that businessmen have no way of knowing whether specific actions will be declared illegal until they hear the judge's verdict—after the fact.
- Alan Greenspan "Antitrust", essay at the National Association of Business Economists (25 September 1961); published in Rand, Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal
- That one man can run faster than another is no reason to prevent the latter from entering the race. Indeed, until the race is run, how do we know who can run faster?

- George Reisman, Capitalism: A Treatise on Economics (1996)
- The truth is that economic competition is the very opposite of competition in the animal kingdom. It is not a competition in the grabbing off of scarce nature-given supplies, as it is in the animal kingdom. Rather, it is a competition in the positive creation of new and additional wealth.

- To my knowledge significant progress has never been born of competition. … In science, being 'better' than others is of little practical value. Examples of how absurd the idea of scientific competition is are abundant.

- Zero sum game implies winners and losers. If somebody wins, somebody gotta lose…. I don't agree with that. Because all boats can rise on a rising sea. Good films help other good films.

- Oliver E. Williamson has argued that markets and hierarchical organizations, such as firms, represent alternative governance structures which differ in their approaches to resolving conflicts of interest. The drawback of markets is that they often entail haggling and disagreement. The drawback of firms is that authority, which mitigates contention, can be abused. Competitive markets work relatively well because buyers and sellers can turn to other trading partners in case of dissent. But when market competition is limited, firms are better suited for conflict resolution than markets. A key prediction of Williamson's theory, which has also been supported empirically, is therefore that the propensity of economic agents to conduct their transactions inside the boundaries of a firm increases along with the relationship-specific features of their assets.

PULLMAN, Wash. - Ashley Vander Tuig, a 6-2 middle blocker from Tulare, Calif., and Arlicia Ortiz, a 5-4 defensive specialist from Spanaway, Wash., will join the Washington State University volleyball team for the Fall 2014 season, Head Coach Jen Greeny announced Thursday.
Vander Tuig and Ortiz join the previously announced recruiting class that includes Haylee Mathis, a 5-11 setter from Strasburg, Ill., and Casey Schoenlein, a 6-5 outside hitter from Issaquah, Wash. Mathis graduated from high school early and began her WSU classes in January, practicing and playing with the Cougar volleyball team this spring.
"This 2014 group is a solid second recruiting class to our No. 14 in the nation 2013 recruiting class, which we felt was our first real class," Greeny said. "Next year will mark the fourth time in our four years that the majority of our team will be underclassmen. We are excited about what these four quality people will add to our 13 returners next year and the continued ascent of this program."
Ashley Vander Tuig is a 6-2 outside hitter from Tulare, Calif., who is coming to WSU as a redshirt sophomore after transferring from Azusa Pacific University in Azusa, Calif. Her freshman season, Vander Tuig started in all 31 matches for APU and tallied 131 blocks, second-highest in the Pacific West Conference which earned her third-team all-conference honors. Her 2013 season was shortened by injury and she redshirted. A graduate of Central Valley Christian High School in Visalia, Calif., Vander Tuig was a four-sport athlete competing in volleyball, basketball, swimming and track and field. She earned All-Central Sequoia League first team and all-county honors in volleyball three consecutive years. She was tabbed the Visalia Times Delta and Fresno Bee Player of the Year as well as the CSL most valuable player as a senior after leading her team to a 31-6 overall record, 12-0 in league play. Vander Tuig was also recognized as the National Christian Schools Athletic Association as Player of the Year. She plans to major in business at WSU.
Why WSU? "I chose WSU because growing up on a farm, the city of Pullman felt like home. Where the volleyball program is at and is headed is exciting and I have heard great things about the Greenys. After visiting WSU, it felt like the perfect place."
Head Coach Jen Greeny said, "We are thrilled that Ashley will be a part of our program here at Washington State! We recruited Ashley out of high school and were thankful she came calling on us when she wanted to transfer from her previous institution. We think Ashley can have a big impact on our middle position and has experience coming into this fall. Ashley is a fantastic student-athlete and really fits with our core values. We are so glad she chose WSU!"
Arlicia Ortiz is a 5-4 senior defensive specialist and a three-year letterwinner at Spanaway Lake High School in Spanaway, Wash. Ortiz found success early in her volleyball career. As a ninth-grader, her Puget Sound Volleyball club team won the U14 Open Pacific Northwest Qualifier and she was selected to the Puget Sound High Performance traveling team. The next year her club team won the U15 Club Pacific Northwest Qualifier and again made the Puget Sound High Performance travel team. As a junior, Ortiz competed on the U17 Puget Sound Volleyball club coached by former WSU All-America setter Stephanie Papke. That team won the National Patriot's Division National Championship. Additionally, in her third year on the Puget Sound High Performance travel team, the squad placed third at the USA Volleyball High Performance Championships in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. Ortiz is a two-time South Puget Sound League volleyball honorable mention selection. In addition to volleyball she finished seventh in the 2013 state 4A Track Championships in the 100m dash and was named the team's MPV. She is a three-year member of the National Honor Society and was accorded the WSU SHAPING Certificate of Excellence. Ortiz is currently the ASB Vice President at Spanaway Lake. The Sentinels volleyball team played in the 2013 state 4A Championship tournament for the first time in 10 years, coincidently, taking on her future Cougar teammate Casey Schoenlein and the Newport High team in the first round.
Why WSU? "First, WSU was in my head as my top choice because it was so close to home, without being too close, and it had my major options of Sports Science and Sport Management. Second, when I went on my tour it just felt so right. I loved the atmosphere. It's such a beautiful campus with such nice people. Everyone in the program is so welcoming and comforting, and friendly people are my favorite people! My first choice had everything I loved, so of course WSU. Go Cougs!"
Head Coach Jen Greeny said, "Arlicia is a winner in every sense of the word. She possesses a can do spirit which is infectious to others. When we saw Arlicia at JO's this past summer, we immediately said we want this kid on our side. She came highly recommended by Stephanie Papke, my former teammate and All-American setter here at WSU. Arlicia came to our camp and was so coachable and fun to be around. She has excellent agility and a wonderful ability to read the game. Arlicia fits very well into the type of student-athlete we want to recruit. We are excited she wants to be a part of what we are building here at Washington State."

Great kids water shoe
My little swimmer couldn't wait to use these at the pool. Keeps him steady poolside and in the shower. A little tough to get on and off but that also means they don't come off easily, which is usually a plus. Will be a good shoe for summer water play.

Grand Canyon River Guide Mark Thatcher started Teva Sandals when he noticed many of his
clients were wearing water-logged sneakers. Determined to find a sandal that was supportive
of an active lifestyle, he created a prototype for Teva based on his experience on the river.
Little did he know Teva Sandals would become so popular, selling out immediately from the
back of his van.
He called his business Teva (pronounced "Teh' -vah"), which means nature in Hebrew. The
hand symbol logo is a Hopi symbol that stands for "friendship" and "water". These are the
foundations for the water shoes now known all around the globe as Teva Sandals.
Not only is Teva one of the most innovative leaders in the sport sandal industry, they are
also committed to providing positive contributions to the world. Teva Footwear incorporates
environmentally friendly technology in their sandals and packaging- this includes recycled
straps and webbing, recycled rubber, and specially formulated anti-odor and anti-bacterial
devices that are safe for the environment.
Teva Sandals are the icons of water sandals. Teva is recognized globally and are known for
their quality and comfort. For the best selection in Teva Sandals on the web, come shop with

5 idyllic vacation spots for you AND your furry best friend
By Brandon Gorrell
When I was growing up, it seemed our family dog was more suited to the car than she was to our house. Wherever the family went—whether it was a quick errand to the store or a weeklong drive across three states to spend Christmas with the grandparents—she was always the first one in the car, raring to go. With such an enthusiastic passenger, road trips were always more exciting.
If you've got a car-loving dog, consider day-tripping with her in the spacious 2013 Chevrolet Traverse, which offers 116.3 cubic feet of cargo space* (the most in its class) plus full-size third-row seating and best-in-class space behind the third row. Available split-folding rear seats provide even more options for packing in all your cargo and all your family members—regardless of species.
Lake Tahoe
Highway access via Reno, NV; Carson City, NV; and Sacramento, CA
This epic blue-water lake is a great place to bring the "other" member of your family. With pet-friendly lodgings in many of the surrounding towns (try Deerfield Lodge at Heavenly) and cross-country ski areas and beaches that allow your dog to join in on the fun, there are plenty of places to stay and plenty of things to do together. Tour guides at the Truckee River Raft Co. will even let you take Fido river rafting.
Glen Highland Farm
Morris, NY
Boasting about 200 acres of rolling meadows, winding trails, a spring-fed pond and abundant wildlife, Glen Highland Farm is an awesome place for both the human and the canine members of your family. The farm's owners are obviously dog-crazy, but this doesn't make their Rover-retreat any less fun for humans. They offer group activities, such as an agility course, "disc dog" and hiking through wilderness "well-traversed by dogs." There is plenty of water for your pooch to paddle around in and, of course, all the other vacationing four-legged friends to play with. The cherry on top of this whole dogtopia is the cabin and cottage lodging on-site. You can also camp.
Dixie National Forest
Southwest Utah
National parks are, for the most part, not very dog-friendly. Dogs are usually required to stay in the car. Dixie National Forest is one of the few exceptions to this rule. Stretching across 170 miles, the forest includes plenty of beautiful wildlife-filled trails with grand vistas of incredible rock formations—and they're all dog-friendly. The La Quinta Inn & Suites in Springdale is a great place to stay. It welcomes both you and your dog for a comfortable rest, and it's just 30 miles from the entrance to the forest.
The Oregon Coast
If you're in the mood for spectacular beaches, the Oregon Coast is the perfect stretch for you and your pooch. While most beaches here require your dog to be on a 6-foot leash, there are at least a few that don't. My favorite is Cannon Beach, which allows your pet to run free as long as he or she is responsive to voice commands. On top of that, there are nearly a dozen pet-friendly hotels in the area. Ocean Lodge is a veritable day spa for dogs: There's a dog wash on the front lawn, goodies for dogs at the desk and rooms with select beach access, just for you and your dog.
Napa Valley
Wine is not the only thing that Napa Valley offers. Relax with your canine companion in the region's many small towns and estates. Rutherford's Round Pond Estate will give you and your dog a tour of the premises, as long as he's kept on a leash. The city of St. Helena hosts a pet parade during its annual harvest festival in October. And while you're out touring vineyards on your own, your dog can have a great time at the Dairydell Doggie Dude Ranch in Petaluma.

Axl's good nature is being taken advantage of as Ty palms Ingrid off on him. Ingrid needs someone to take her to pick up someone named Danny, from an as-yet-to-be-disclosed location. Despite her assurances it won't take long Axl then finds himself, with Ingrid, waiting in the middle of nowhere, where it transpires that Danny – an ex-psych nurse/lover of Ingrid's – is just being released from prison. When Danny and Ingrid commence making love on the backseat of his car Axl really regrets being a nice guy.
But it only gets worse for Axl as, encouraged by Gaia's approval of his Mr. Nice Guy status, he soon finds that both Ingrid and Danny are getting drunk and stoned at his place, and end of crashing the night. During the course of this session Danny espouses his great idea to make a million buck: by starting a magic mushroom farm. Wgile Axl and Gaia think the man is clearly deluded Ingrid is totally up for the idea.
Mike, meanwhile, is having a busy time of it as a man turns up at the bar to deliver a legal document. Then he learns from Michele that Ty is researching ways to kill himself then come back to life. This leads him to Ty, who confesses he wants to find a way his Hod-spirit can leave his body in the way he saw Eva's Hel-spirit leave hers – but then coming back to life, unlike Eva. Mike refuses to help him in this near-suicidal quest, causing a rift between the brothers.
As well as dealing with all this, Mike is summoning various people to meetings – first of the Goddesses, then the Gods. At these meetings it transpires that Agnetha has left a 'will' of sorts, which bestows many millions of dollars on the recipients. The Goddesses get first crack at the money, as long as they can put the money towards something that will set them up for the rest of their lives – then the sons of Agnetha get whatever is left over. Mike thinks Ingrid's plan to buy a farm fits this bill exactly.
But Axl is appalled that Ingrid is going to waste her money (and her life) on Danny's insane magic-mushroom plan. So, eventually, he stages an intervention, calling upon his God and Goddess kin to tell Ingrid how mush she means to them, as a way of rebuilding her feelings of self-worth. It goes excruciatingly badly, until Ty steps forward to enlist Ingrid in his mission to find a safe way to attain mortality.
Thus Ingrid is welcomed back into the fold, and Danny is banished; and Ty is free to ignore Mike's disapproval and to seek what his heart desires; and, oh, right at the very end Anders arrives back from Norway.

Oscar-winning director Malik Bendjelloul died of an apparent suicide in Stockholm on May 13, 2014, according to an Associated Press (AP) report. Bendjelloul, who was Swedish, won an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature for 2012's "Searching for Sugar Man," which chronicled the filmmaker's search for Sixto Rodriguez, a Detroit singer/songwriter from the 1970s who goes by the stage name Rodriguez.
Rodriguez, who never made it big in America, became a superstar in South Africa years after he disappeared from the public spotlight. "Searching for Sugar Man" was Bendjelloul's first feature film.
Bendjelloul's brother Johar told AP that Malik, who had been struggling with depression, committed suicide. An official cause of death has not been announced, but Stockholm police have told the media that they do not suspect that someone else killed Malik Bendjelloul.
Johar Bendjelloul said about his brother's death, "Life is not always simple. I don't know how to handle it. I don't."
Meanwhile, Rodriguez (who performed a concert in Detroit at Masonic Temple Auditorium on May 13, 2014) told Billboard after the show that the death of Malik Bendjelloul was "a shock."
Rodriguez added, "I just found out about it a couple of hours ago. He was a very talented man and hard-working artist. He proved it by hitting an Academy Award his first time out. My deepest condolences to his family. Rest in peace."
"Searching for Sugar Man" producer Simon Chinn, who also won an Oscar for the movie, commented to AP about Malik Bendjelloul's death: "It seems so unbelievable. He had everything to live for. He was so full of life, hope and optimism and happiness, and looking forward to the future and future collaborations. The idea that he is no longer is just too hard to process."
Besides an Academy Award, "Searching for Sugar Man" won several other prizes at other events, including the World Cinema Audience Award: Documentary at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival and Best Documentary Feature at the 2013 Critics' Choice Awards. The movie was screened at numerous other film festivals in 2012, including the South by Southwest Film Festival, the Tribeca Film Festival and the Los Angeles Film Festival.
