Good idea but needs work
The instructions are a bit confusing and sometimes the results seem off but mostly they seemed pretty accurate. This is a a good app to use on your wasted friends so they dont drive, making everyone aware of the HGN test cops are looking for.
Waste of 1.99
I followed the instructions 100%. We tried it over and over sober. With myself and wife and my neighbours and it always says don't drive you've been drinking. We haven't been drinking. Don't buy it. Trust me
Stick with whatcha know
It's a cool idea, but my sober tested yielded a result of .14 - I'll probably go back to my old test of if I can find my keys I'm sober enough to drive.

Poor Meaty and his chronic, interdigital cysts and yeasty ears! I've been doing TONS of food/ allergy
research and decided to try him on Fromm's......many, many bully owners are RAVING about it. We've tried many foods through his short life, and none have ever helped. Today his chin is also really red---a flare-up maybe because of the change of seasons??? ....
Also, I can't watch him suffer anymore with the ear infections---pain/swelling/ MANY trips to the vet....Tired of him being on antibiotic pills, ear drops, laser treatments, and sometimes, short-term Prednisone and the last one that was REALLY bad, they even gave him pain pills (Tramadol)....poor little guy!!! . We're now doing natural flushes with 3 parts water to 1 part white vinegar once a week to PREVENT the infections.
Since Meaty's paws are extremely "corn chip" smelling and swollen today, we're going to do Rick's (BaRett's) recipe that he uses on Gizmo for "pickling" her toes! Maybeeee, just mayyyybeeee this new food will clear up the paw problem, but I realize it could be other allergens or issues.....we'll see!
Thank goodness, wittle Sophie hasn't had ear/ paw issues....starting her on this supposedly GREAT kibble will keep her that way! :-) ...
The store where I bought the Fromm's also sells RAW, (it's in their freezer) which I've been thinking about, too, since I know many of your bullies have done SO well on it!.....I learned a lot at online and at this store, but I was also a bit overwhelmed! I just don't want our sweet Meaty on antibiotics and Prednisone that just MASK the symptoms, but don't get to the CAUSE! Poor guy has been licking his paws obsessively lately....breaks our hearts! :-(
Our sweet Archimedes "MEATY" Bones (or as we say...boneSHHH!) ---born 11/28/08---- our first bullllyyyy!!!
And SOPHIE Bubbles *Rapscallion* (LOL!) ---born 4/3/11----our second bulllllyyyy!!!!
Sophie's very first day home with us....awwww........May 2011.......tooo sweet for words!!!
years ago our Oscar was allergic to bermuda grass and every spring when it germinated, he would be miserable, scratching himself bloody. Hope you find some relief for your boy.
We have had great sucess with the pickling -
1 part Apple Cider Vinegar
1 part Hydrogen Peroxide
2-3 parts water
- We soak 1 paw at a time and I work it inbetween her toes, and up her legs a good 3-4 inches - and Clean all of her bedding. If you are vigilant and its only a yeast infection, this should help him .
As I was told, its a yeast colony, and you need to kill the colony, so make sure if he sleeps in a crate or on his pillow/bed whatever, that they are cleaned too :)
Good luck ! ! !
You said you have tried different foods, have you tried different protien sources? MOST pet foods are Chicken Based (read the ingredients carefully, ALMOST all of BlueBuffalo has chicken in it, EXCEPT the Salmon based - right now we have them on the Salmon and Potatoe 'Basics' limited ingredients.
No good deed goes unpunished
time ago...(oh, and I should say this vet is VERY bully knowledgeable!), he wanted Meaty on either "Taste of the Wild " or Purina Pure Selects SALMON.......They've been on the Purina for quite a while, and, like I said, I realize Meaty's cysts and ear issues may NOT be from food---but still thought we'd try them on "Fromm" just to see if it helps anything....
we shall seeee!!!
Rick, thank you for the reminder to also wash his bedding!!! We are gonna "pickle" his toes tonight while washing his bed in hot, hot water!!!!!! :-)

Sophie's very first day home with us....awwww........May 2011.......tooo sweet for words!!!
I've heard good things about Fromm...but it's like any food, you have to find what works for your dog.
Salmon doesn't work for all either. My Ester got a horrible staph infection being on TOTW Salmon after 3 weeks, $500 bucks later, yanked her off that food and withing 6 weeks she was all good again. We gave her Convenia shots, I was in the middle of show season and her hair started falling out in spots, couln't have that. I do give her some Salmon Oil, but if I give her too much, she'll vomit in the middle of the night.
IMO Salmon is rich and not all dogs can tolerate it.
Sorry you are having such horrible allergy issues...are your 2 related?
no, Meaty and Sophie aren't related.....
Thanks for the info....now I need to google what a "covenia shot" is....

Sophie's very first day home with us....awwww........May 2011.......tooo sweet for words!!!
they haven't been on kibble in 2 years. She has a gorgeous coat, always has, even on kibble, except for the TOTW problem. 10 weeks after her litter at a show I had 2 breeder judges comment on the fact that she had the best coat they had felt all day (80 entries). Usually bitches blow their coats after puppies, she did shed some...but didn't blow it. Her and MacKenzie always have the most gorgeous coats. He white around her neck and head is just as soft as a squishey.
She has has the exact same issues as you - and her chin has been horrible. Her ears were all scabbed inside from scratching so badly. and she was constantly scraping her bum on the carpet. She was on Natures Variet Instint Chicken and I switched her to the Natures Variety Instinct limited ingredient lamb kibble. OMG - I couldn't believe how well it has worked. It's only been 2 weeks and her chin is better. No more redness. Her coat is feeling better too. And I noticed she is not shedding as much. I have tried 3 different foods and this one finally seems to be working for her. I think she was having issues with the chicken ingredient. I hope you find something that works!!
Variety......I read GREAT things about it, also! If the FROMM's doesn't do the trick, I will try the Nature'a Variety **OR** maybe it'll be time to get him tested for what EXACTLY he's allergic to! I'm so happy Gracie is better----!!

Sophie's very first day home with us....awwww........May 2011.......tooo sweet for words!!!
I couldn't take it anymore so I finally broke down nd had her take the allergy tests! She started with science diet, to natural balance, wellness,mature variety salmon was good for a while... Then finally after taking the allergy tests , they give a list of foods that she can have... Now she's on California natural senior chicken and rice...
Everything seems ok, but now her eyes are swelling up, I think she got stung by something... Please see my next posts. Let me know if u want to see a copy of the allergy tests, it's not conclusive , but it's better thn spending all this money on food, waiting and seeing..
sincerely, christine
sources did she test high in? How long has she been on the Chicken and Rice before you noticed eyes swelling. Chicken is a protein source which is a known and common allergen trigger. Interesting.
Glucosamine pills.. I totally didnt know that until someone on the board told me. Rabbit, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, spinach, green beans, yeast, wheat, barley, bananas, and peanuts! Crazy, huh... You wouldn't believe how hard it is o ind dog food with no sweet potatoes, tomatoes, or barley in it! He has been on the chicken and rice for probably close to a year now... But she seems to be losing some weight, so they also listed acana senior which is hella expensive but has more natural ingredients... California natural senior has like just chikn and rice and then all the added vitamins in it, so I wonder if it's better to have her get vitamins from real ingredients instead? Not many places carry the acana senior so I have o special order it!
sincerely, christine
And the improvement was almost immediate. Audrey went from chrinic ongoing ear infections to NEVER again. She will be 4 in a few weeks and she has not had another ear infection since we switched her to raw at one year old. Her face stopped smelling like corn chips too.
Audrey is allergic to chicken, corn and wheat. BUT since switching to raw, we have discovered that she is also allergic to preservatives in processed foods. Even simple single ingredient dehydrated or freeze dried food is preserved, and she can not tolerate it. Things like glucosamine tablets, treats, all of it has some sort of preservative/chemical in it and they make her itch insanely.
I would HIGHLY recommend raw for a dog that is having chronic issues that multiple food trials are not resolving. Or home cooked. It may not be the protein AT ALL, in fact there is a stronger possibility it is NOT the protein but one of the other fillers/additives they are allergic too.
Cathy and Audrey

Doctoral Candidate in History & Law
1029 Tisch Hall, Ann Arbor MI, 48109-1003
"I am currently a candidate for a dual-degree in History and Law at the University of Michigan. Broadly, my research focuses on the history of early 20th century international law in its relationship with imperial forms of power. In particular, I am interested in tracking the development of anti-colonial and anti-racist legal subjectivities between 1920 and 1955, as colonized peoples used international forums -- in particular the League of Nations' Permanent Mandates Commission and the UN's Trusteeship Council -- to frame a rights-based critique of colonial rule. My dissertation will trace the creation of transnational networks of solidarity, in which anti-colonial and anti-racist activists articulated new forms of international protest that challenged both colonial rule and the primacy of the nation-state in international engagement."

Apple, who believes the iPhone could also be a popular gaming platform, has definitely been center stage for digital distribution of software in general. It wouldn't be accurate to say that they entirely inspired the move, however, as numerous companies have been knee-deep in digital distribution in some form or another for quite some time � including both Nintendo and Sony. As far as handhelds go, though, it may be all Apple's fault. Any company that has been on the fence about combining digital distribution with mobile devices has had the Apple iPhone App Store prove that the time for such offerings is now, not years down the road.
One thing that has occurred to me is management of the software people buy. If you own a handheld console, a regular console, a PC and perhaps an iPhone, you have at least as many online stores to keep track of. I wonder if in the future there will be a market just to manage all these intangible online purchases.

One of the best things about the Middle Tennessee and Nashville is the creative outlet it offers for live music. A nice spring evening in east nashville served up a nice plate of reasonably priced food and a standing room only venue in the loft featuring Amy Dalley and Mason Douglas.
Amy Dalley is from Kingsport Tennessee and she has the straight forward presentation of telling a story in an engaging manner from a females point of view.
Amy sang with a 4 peice band 2 guitars a bassist and box drum player. Amy played guitar and featured original tunes.
Amy's set is fun and thoughtful her voice hints at the south and the deepness of well thought out scenerarios that happen in every day life.
Amy has a website at http://www.AmyDalley.com
The song He Makes Me Wanna had the gals at my table laughing and agreeing with a time they had that experience.
Mason Douglas is from Tuscon Arizona and showed a great love of entertaining and a wide range of emotion and presentation.
Mason filled the stage with his big band and bigger sound. It was a great mesh with Thomas Reschke on Drums, Taylor Gerber on Bass, Nick Ferrell on Acoustic Guitar, Caeland Garner on Dobro, Gregory Martin on Fiddle and Lainey Edwards vocals.
Mason played original tunes starting with The Last time I Let you Down, that was just him and his guitar.
Mason set ranged from romantic ballads and more up tempo songs. He comes across generally really enjoying engaging his audience and loving what he does.
He is a mix of Phil Vassar meets Keith Urban with a shot of George Straight but one of the best tricks he has up his sleeve is a wonderful clear falsetto that is clear sweet and enchanting.
The instrumental fills and full band does add to the musicality it is a pleasure to listen to the full sound that features each instrument with a great flow.
Mason had an appreciative audience with his smooth presentation, ability to connect with the audience and enjoy himself and the generosity to show how a each instrument can fill and add to an artists repertoire.
Mason has a website at: masondouglasmusic.com/
Mad Donna's is a great place to enjoy a great freindly vibe with reasonably priced food and an extra large stage in the loft.
You can't beat the talent and the offerings for a night out in music city.

False gods
All of the references communicated by most people about god does not necessarily refer to the true and living God. None of the major characteristics that describe the true and living God correlate in any capacity to any false god.
All of the sixty-five false gods mentioned in the Bible have meanings for their names. Each meaning depicts the essential character and quality of each false god. Worship that is given to false gods is wasted because it negates the character and qualities of the true and living God.
For instance, there is a false god named Baal. The name means lord, master, habit, and control. If there is anything such as nicotine, alcohol, sex, pornography, or any other habit that is a controlling factor which dominates a human, it denotes giving worship or recognition to Baal.
The name Baal is combined with many other Hebrew or Greek words which reveal the habitual traits that are involved in giving worship to habits or Baals. There are many Baal connections like Baal Gad (master of fortune-lotteries-luck-sweeps), Baal Peor (master of sexual openings), and others that are all false gods.
All of the many Baals were and are based on controls of leverage, power, and/or blackmail. Controls are also based on being locked in or out and are called Baals.
The Baals were worshiped as fleshly oriented works. The only was to deal with the flesh is a work of the Spirit of God through Jesus Christ who is the great deliverer from the works of the flesh. The Spirit of God wars continually with the works of the flesh and the Lord Jesus Christ delivers all who call upon Him from the Baals infested in the land today.
The victory over false gods begins with repentance or a turning away from sordid habits. Then the other direction leads into the arms of Jesus Christ who is the only source of true deliverance.

Lana Del Rey, Kacey Musgraves, Zooey Deschanel are on Brian Wilson's new album
Brian Wilson's new album features the Beach Boys legend collaborating with such artists as Kacey Musgraves, Lana Del Ray and Zooey Deschanel, as well as, possibly, Frank Ocean.
After Wilson broke the news on his website yesterday, citing an upcoming story in Rolling Stone, not all of his fans responded to the news positively. And that hurt Wilson's feelings and made him mad.
Last night, he sent out a message— in total "Brianspeak" to the naysayers via Facebook:
To my fans: it kind of bums me out to see some of the negativity here about the album I've been working so hard on. In my life in music, I've been told too many times not to fuck with the formula, but as an artist it's my job to do that – and I think I've earned that right.
I'm really proud of these new songs and to hear these great artists sing on them just blows me away. I love what we've done.
I would think that after making music for more than fifty years, my fans would understand that I'll always do what's in my heart – and I think that's why you are my fans. So let's just wait until the album comes out because I think you just might dig it as much as I do.
Love and Mercy, Brian
It's hard not to agree with Wilson here. HIs fans haven't even heard the music. While we're sure he'd like to reach a younger fan base through these artists, his legacy is secure without having to resort to such tactics, so that probably isn't the only reason for his reaching out. Plus, he also worked with such contemporaries as Jeff Beck (most likely before they went on tour together since Beck didn't like how that turned out) and fellow Beach Boys Al Jardine and David Marks on the new album, so he's not pandering to a younger demographic. If his work with these acts helps a new generation learn about his music, then what's the harm in that? No matter how old they are, every music fan needs to have "Pet Sounds" in his/her collection. It's as essential as any Beatles album, so if singing with Lana Del Rey makes it happen and the song isn't total schlock, why not?
No word yet on when the new album will be released.

Bunny Ranch possible in Arizona? Dennis Hof still aiming to open legal brothel in Valley
PHOENIX - The Valley may be one step closer to a legal brothel.
Nevada's Bunny Ranch owner Dennis Hof tells ABC15 he's expanding his search to nearby cities.
ABC15 first broke this story two weeks ago. At the time Hof said he was looking at locations in Phoenix. However, Hof is expanding his locations to Mesa, Scottsdale, Glendale, Scottsdale and Tempe.
Hof says when he was a teenager he used to work at a gas station off of 24th Street and Van Buren. "Girls would come in here saying, 'save me from my pimp, he just beat me up,'" said Hof.
Hof says it was those images, years later that inspired him to start the Moonlight Bunny Ranch - a one-stop-shop for sex.
Hof says his employees don't have to answer to a pimp.
"People who get into the sex business, I think, enjoy entertaining people and being around men and enjoy six-figure salaries," said Hof.
Hoff is looking at locations across the Valley. He wants a multi-story building, with underground parking and at least 30-40 rooms.
Hof says legalizing prostitution would help stop sex trafficking.
Hof has two daughters. "If my daughter asked to work at a Bunny Ranch I would say 'why?' because it's not about money," said Hof. "I have money but I guess I would be a hypocrite to say no."
Hof is trying to get escort licenses from the cities.
After that, a city will need to legalize prostitution so he could open his business.
The business would be called "The Valley of The Sun Bunny Ranch."
Hof offered Mayor Greg Stanton an initial $500,000 up front.
"The city would take in additional tax dollars from me," said Hof.
Mayor Greg Stanton told ABC15 a few weeks ago, Hof can keep his money.
Hof says he knows this will be a long legal battle but he says he won't go down without a fight.
"It's a challenge but can I get this up and running Phoenix?" said Hof. "It's going to be tough but you know what I said 22 years ago? I am going to take and make my place the most famous brothel in the world and I'll have a TV show on HBO and a show on Cinemax -- and you know what? I did it."

Best known for their hit single "Undo," the most-played song on adult contemporary Christian radio stations in 2007, Rush of Fools got its start after winning a contest called "Band With a Mission," a title that really couldn't be more fitting for the Alabama natives.
The band's first single "When Our Hearts Sing" from its self titled album Rush of Fools helped put the band on the map, and was followed by its second album, Wonders of the World, an album that received four Dove Award nominations.
"I think that compared to the last record, we actually had time to breathe," lead singer Wes Willis explains. "We played hundreds of shows and wrote and sat and played together and worshipped together. All those things fed into this album, and I think we were able to write songs the same way we did last time and yet we found a new voice, a growth in ourselves and in our collaborations with our producers. We're still a worship band, and we still love writing those kinds of songs."
In addition to Wes, the band is comprised of Kevin Huguley (guitar, keyboards, backing vocals), Jacob Chesnut (bass, backing vocals and Jamie Sharpe (drums). While the members are fueled by a desire to lead audiences in worship while expanding its musical repertoire, Rush of Fools feels most at home when simply praising God.
"It doesn't matter what aspect of life you're working on, you always have to learn how to recreate something," Wes adds. "You always have to learn how to grow and change and from a musical aspect, that's definitely what we've done with (Wonders of the World). There was a lot of growth on this project, but still true to our core heart of worship, because that's who we are."
The band's latest project We Once Were featuring the song "Grace Found Me," is an album about hope and the restoring power of one's faith. "We hope our inspiration for writing blatantly about dark times will show the beauty of the redemption story," said Band guitarist Kevin Huguley. "We believe the dark times are not by mistake."

With the Group Stage portion of this 2014 World Cup complete, we've finally thinned the herd down to 16 select international sides who will now vie for the title of World's best. From those that have been there before like Argentina and Brazil, to the 1st timers like Algeria and Greece, the remaining field is laden with talent and stories worthy of football's biggest stage. Before the action is fired up again on Saturday, let's take a moment and analyze each of the remaining sides, beginning with the Algerians.
The North Africans made history yesterday against Russia by securing a draw that was enough to put them through to the Round of 16 for the first time ever, also making them the first North African nation since Morocco in 1986 to accomplish the feat. Solid in the back with keeper Rais M'Bolhi keeping his back four in check and inspired up front by goal scorer Islam Slimani, the Algerians are looking to continue their 2014 dream against a powerful German side in the Rof16. They fared relatively well in Group H, being the only team to score against group winners Belgium while benefiting massively from their 4-2 drubbing of the South Koreans. They got the necessary point, deservedly, against a poor Russian side and made it to the next stage, but the Germans contain a level of class that the Algerians haven't seen yet.
Outlook: Algeria have a perfect opportunity to shock the world and undo the sins of 1982, but it would be a massive ask of them despite their rabid fan base in Brazil.
Prediction: Loss to Germany, 3-1.
Argentina might as well have been rebranded "Team Messi" for the 2014 World Cup, as they have relied almost exclusively on their midfield maestro for their goals thus far, with the Barcelona star scoring 4 of his nation's 6 goals in their Group Stage matches. Aside from Messi though, the Argentinians have been thoroughly unimpressive in their Group F fixtures against Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iran, and Nigeria, managing to beat all 3 sides despite looking lacking in both the attack and defensively. They were the benefactors of an early own goal against the Bosnians, who were making their World Cup debut that night in Rio, and managed to coast to a victory from there thanks to a bit of Messi magic around the hour mark. Against Iran, they again needed Messi to bail them out with a delicious strike at the death, while they appeared a bit better in their final encounter against the Nigerians, although this time they appeared even frailer at the back by giving up a brace to Ahmed Musa.
Outlook: Despite garnering 9 points from their Group Stage games, Argentina appear very one-dimensional at the moment and the loss of Sergio Aguero for their Switzerland Rof16 match won't help matters much, that is if the Swiss can't contain their one (albeit him tiny) threat.
Prediction: Win over Switzerland, 2-1.
Similar to Argentina, the Belgians managed to win all 3 of their Group H matches without appearing all too powerful despite their reputation as a World Cup "dark horse" prior to the tournament. They struggled in all 3 matches as they came from behind to narrowly beat Algeria thanks to a couple super subs, left it quite late to defeat an average Russia, and squeaked past South Korea 1-0 in their final match, although they were a man down for a large portion of the game after Steven Defour picked up a straight red, ruling him out for their Rof16 clash against the USA. Belgium will have to be much, much better against the United States if they are to advance, and the star power that's been missing from Edin Hazard and Romelu Lukaku must show up in Salvador.
Outlook: The task of Belgium is certainly not impossible, but they will need to make a big step forward in the coming days in terms of skill and heart to defeat the Americans, a task they may not be up for.
Prediction: Loss to the United States, 1-1 after ET, 2-4 on PKs.
Neymar and company will have their hands full with Chile on Saturday if they don't elevate their play from their 3 prior performances at the World Cup which they're hosting. They may have just shaken off the cobwebs though following a lackluster win over Croatia and a dull draw with Mexico, as the 4-1 thrashing they gave Cameroon may just have kickstarted their true World Cup campaign. Getting Fred off the mark (although he was offsides) may prove to be a key moment for Luis Felipe Scolari's men, who will undoubtedly have the Belo Horizonte crowd behind them as they face Chile. The Brazilian defense will have to be alert due to the speed and quickness of the Chileans, but Brazil when playing to their potential are just simply better than all of the other teams at this tournament.
Outlook: It will take effort, but there's no reason Brazil should slip up against a Chilean team with defensive issues.
Prediction: Win over Chile, 3-1.
Speaking of the Chileans, they enter this encounter with Brazil after a successful Group campaign that saw them eliminate Spain at that Maracana before losing out to the Netherlands, a match which placed them in this Rof16 match. Led by the deadly Alexis Sanchez in a striking role and solid with Gary Medel in the back, the South Americans should be stiff opposition for Brazil on the night, although Chile's last match against the Netherlands exposed some serious defensive flaws for La Roja, flaws which could see them eliminated against Brazil.
Outlook: Its not out of the question to think Chile could win, but it would take a near perfect game from them.
Prediction: Loss to Brazil, 3-1
A side that have impressed many in Brazil, the Colombians have rolled over all opponents so far from Group C, defeating Greece and Japan handily while they did labor a bit to take down the Ivory Coast, but they still had a 2-0 lead in that match as well. James (pronounced Jamez) Rodriguez looks a revelation for them in a role that would have otherwise been occupied by the injured Radamel Falcao, and he along with his fellow attackers look likely to mount more goals against Uruguay, who will of course be without their main goal threat in Luis Suarez, and all the better for Colombia as 'keeper David Ospina is probably their weakest link.
Outlook: The Colombians got a favorable matchup with Uruguay, and expect them to take advantage of it.
Prediction: Win over Uruguay, 2-1.
The shock and delight of the tournament so far, Costa Rica shocked the masses by not only escaping, but topping Group D over England, Italy, and Uruguay respectively. Even more impressively, the Costa Ricans managed to take something from each of their 3 matches: 2 wins against Italy and Uruguay along with a scoreless affair vs. England once they had already secured passage. Manager Jorge Luis Pinto has been a joy to watch on the touchline so far and his side should continue to provide him with more moments of joy, as long as Joel Campbell continues to loom large in attack with Bryan Ruiz feeding the ball to him.
Outlook: The Greek defense may hinder the Costa Rican attack for a while, but their persistent inability to score will allow Costa Rica plenty of bites at the apple.
Prediction: Win over Greece, 2-0.
The French have been superb so far in Brazil, dispatching their Group E opponents with relative ease aside from a final goalless affair with the Ecuadorians. Striker Karim Benzema has been instrumental in their success at the World Cup, scoring gobs of goals for France and setting up quite a few as well, with the Real Madrid man currently on 4 goals, although he could easily have been on 6 by now if not for a referee's whistle and a miraculous deflection off the inside of the post. Regardless, Hugo Lloris has not had much to deal with so far in goal, although I expect him to hold up nicely against the Nigerians in what should be a nervy affair with a closer than expected result.
Outlook: Nigeria will be by far their toughest game to date, but France should fully exercise their demons of 2010 by advancing in Brasilia.
Prediction: Win over Nigeria, 1-0 in ET.
The Germans topped Group G behind a strong opening day rout of Portugal and a last day cakewalk over the US, despite the scoreline only being 1-0. Thomas Muller has been a man in form for the German machine, notching the 1st of Brazil 2014's 2 hat-tricks so far and Miroslav Klose making history by equaling the Brazilian Ronaldo's World Cup goal scoring record of 15 in the game against Ghana. The placement of Phillip Lahm in the middle of the park instead of as a wingback is still a question mark to some, but the German defense should stay strong enough against an admittedly weaker Algerian outfit in Porto Alegre.
Outlook: Germany have looked in charge in each of their contests so far, and you shouldn't expect that to change in the Rof16.
Prediction: Win over Algeria, 3-1.
The Greeks advanced to their first ever Round of 16 thanks to a dramatic Georgios Samaras penalty in stoppage time against the Ivory Coast, a goal which put the Greeks through and sent the Ivoirians home in a Group C finale. This Greek side seemingly resurrected itself following a really poor opening loss, 3-0, to Colombia. Ever since then however, the Greeks have looked an improved team both defensively as shown in their 0-0 draw with Japan when they played for 60 minutes with 10 men, and of course in their historic 2-1 win over the Ivory Coast. Fernando Santos should be proud of his side for the heart and resiliency they've shown in the Group stage, but their fairy tale should end against a Costa Rican side with skill and pace.
Outlook: They've done a great job getting here, but don't expect much more from Greece.
Prediction: Loss to Costa Rica, 2-0.
The Mexicans have overcome pre-World Cup turmoil and a brutal qualification run in CONCACAF to surprise some in Brazil by escaping Group A with Brazil, actually achieving the same number of points as Brazil only to be edged out on goal differential. Regardless, their newfound success can be attributed mainly to new manager Miguel Herrera and 'keeper Guillermo Ochoa, whose heroic saves ensured their 0-0 draw with Brazil in their second group match. The football gods dealt them a harsh blow though as they are to face the Netherlands in the Round of 16, who should have too much firepower for Mexico to handle in Fortaleza.
Outlook: Mexico have impressed thus far, but should lose a narrow decision to the Orange.
Prediction: Loss to the Netherlands, 1-0.
Probably the most impressive side in Brazil, the Dutch have simply demolished all other teams in Group B, beginning with their 5-1 destruction of Spain that we all remember so well. RVP and Arjen Robben have finally lived up to their playing potential in both attack and in the center of the field, with the Dutch defense also holding steady so far despite prior concerns of youth and inexperience failing them. All in all, the Netherlands look like real threats to take the entire tournament, and that should begin with a win over Mexico in the Round of 16.
Outlook: The Netherlands have outclassed all opponents so far and that should continue against a stubborn Mexican side.
Prediction: Win over Mexico, 1-0.
Nigeria have performed brilliantly during a time of sadness and tragedy for their country, advancing out of Group F thanks in large part to a controversial win over Bosnia and Herzegovina. Granted, they did need several fortunate calls from the officials to ensure the victory, but Nigeria won't complain a bit about it as they advance to the knockout rounds for the first time this century. While Victor Moses has been a true disappointment for the Super Eagles, Ahmed Musa has taken his chance incredibly well by bagging a brace against Argentina and appearing a very bright attacking presence for the Nigerians. Peter Odemwingie as well appears like he has a goal or two still left in him, but they won't receive any favors from a stout French defense.
Outlook: Nigeria aren't the worst side left in the tournament, they just simply have a bad matchup against France, but expect Nigeria to compete to the end.
Prediction: Loss to France, 1-0 in ET.
The Swiss enter their Round of 16 date with Argentina on a high following Xherdan Shaqiri's heroics against Honduras, as the Bayern Munich man bagged himself a hat-trick en route to single handedly putting his nation into the knockout stages following both embarrassment against France and a last minute win against Ecuador. Ottmar Hitzfeld's last go around with the national side has proved in fact to be a memorable one, but no one can realistically see their defense hold up against Messi and company, especially after watching the carving they took from France about a week ago.
Outlook: The Swiss will take many memories from this tournament, but probably not a spot in the Quarterfinals.
Prediction: Loss to Argentina, 2-1.
The loss of striker Luis Suarez to the 9 match and 4 month FIFA suspension for biting will undoubtedly hurt Uruguay's chances of advancing against the Colombians, as the match at the Maracana may well turn into a shootout between two sides who love to score. The only problem is that Suarez is an integral part of the Uruguayan attack and they may well struggle mightily without his services up front, especially since the Colombian back line is relatively untested so far this tournament. Uruguay were a great team with Suarez, good enough to beat England and Italy. Uruguay are a decent team without Suarez, decent enough to lose to Costa Rica, and in a few days Colombia.
Outlook: It would be an incredibly competitive match with Suarez in the lineup, without him, Colombia are clear favorites.
Prediction: Loss to Colombia, 2-1.
The United States provided a decently-sized shock in the "Group of Death", advancing ahead of Portugal and Ghana thanks to 3 strong performances in the group, all kick started by John Brooks' late header against the aforementioned Ghanaians. The remaining 2 matches saw the US improve in each as automatic qualification was snatched from them right at the death by a superb CR7 cross in the Portugal game, while they tasted defeat against Germany only to advance anyway. Jurgen Klinsmann has done a splendid job in getting his 23 man squad to believe that they can continue to pull shocks at this tournament, but his lack of a replacement for injured striker Jozy Altidore may come back to haunt him against the Belgians.
Outlook: It will be a tooth and nail battle against Belgium, but the USA has had luck on its side so far in Brazil….
Prediction: Win against Belgium, 1-1 after ET, 4-2 on PKs.

There are lots of choices out there for what pets to get.
There are the obvious like a cat or a dog – to the typical kids pets like rabbits and guinea pigs – to the extreme like a giant boa constrictor or a Bengal tiger.
No matter what pet you have you probably think that you've got the best pet. Otherwise why would you have that pet and not something else?
What we tried to do is to come up with some objective reasons why marine fish are the best pets. You can agree or disagree. Just disagree in silence!
You get to play God by making your own world where it never should have existed –
Realistically you should never have been able to have a marine fish sitting on your dining room table in Ireland!
It defies the laws of nature and if you are honest there is something cool about that.
Learn about social interaction from the behaviour of marine fish –
Marine fish are quite unique in that they keep their natural behaviour even when they are held in captivity.
Most animals which humans domesticate change how they behave because of their interaction with humans but marine fish keep this instinct.
Granted some aspects change like they don't get fed flakes of food in the wild but they keep the same hierarchy and aggressiveness regardless of being wild or captive.
Learn to be disciplined by having to follow a routine –
Keeping marine fish means you have to feed them regularly, you have to check the pH of the tank, the oxygen levels of the tank and basically manage the world that these aquatic animals live in.
Without you, these marine fish will die, keeping them alive takes a small degree of discipline which can be applied to other areas of our lives.
Learn about biology from how an eco-system survives –
Really a marine fish tank is like a mini ocean or river.
It is a slice of nature bottled up and kept for our amusement.
What we don't often realise is how the marine fish feed off the algae in the tank and that the water pump has bacteria build up in it and how some marine fish even feed of the waste product of the other fish.
There is a visible circle of life going on right in front of you.
Learn about chemistry, pH levels, salt levels, and nitrogen and oxygen levels –
This is often the worst part of keeping marine fish. Having to keep everything balanced so that they can continue to exist.
In nature the ocean has mechanisms to control all of these variables that we have to worry about as fish keepers but on our little slice of ocean we have to keep our marine fish comfortable and alive.
The benefit of this is that we understand more about how an environment can change and how the pH of a liquid can be altered and so on, maybe not the most useful skill to have but you never know!
They never eat your homework or get knocked down by a car –
Marine fish are easy to care for and they won't run away from home (at least they won't get very far).
You don't have to take them for a walk and you don't have to have a special box you clean out for them to poop in.
I for one think that's a good thing!
Fish have a calming effect on people –
I challenge you to think of anyone who looked at a tank full of beautiful marine fish and had a negative thing to say about them.
Aquariums make people happy and calm.
Relatively cheap –
Granted it can cost a good chunk of change to get the initial aquarium, pump, filter, gravel, etc, etc, etc, BUT the upkeep of a marine fish is very little. If you think about how much food and vets bills are for a cat or dog then marine fish are a bargain.
Amazingly colourful –
In short you don't see any of the other common pets with the range of colours that you get on a marine fish!
Maybe you have seen a purple cat or a yellow dog or maybe even a orange and white striped hamster with a sense of humour but for most people the only way they get to see those amazing colours in a pet is in marine fish.
Stupid names –
My personal favourite reason to get marine fish is that they seem to be exempt from stupid names being stupid.
Like if you give a dog a weird name like Captain Jack Sparrow and you're in a park and have to call your dog, everyone within ear shot will think you need to be taken away in a straitjacket.
If you call a fish anything from the dog classic Rover to the bizarre Marshmallow Fancy Pants people just accept it.
If you want to get a marine fish then we would recommend being responsible with your fish keeping hobby and first invest in a comprehensive guide to this amazing hobby. We recommend Ultimate Secrets to Saltwater Fish and Invertebrates as the best available ebook on the market currently. This gives you a walk through from what to look for before you get your fish through to how to care for your fish and how to spot disease. You should have all the info you need for almost any type of aquarium you want but without having to buy a ton of books or trawl through the internet for days/months/years. Great book.

Memorial Day weekend recap
Tuesday, May 29, 2012
With the next 1/2 marathon a week away (From this past Saturday) that meant I was on ramp up with the training again. We were headed out camping with friends who have been known in the past to tempt us with good food. They have learned over the year that we are serious about this life style change and have seen my hard work and dedication pay off. They still brought the yummy tasting bad for ya foods.. but was OK that we didn't indulge.
Friday before heading out camping I did a 4 mile run, and then all the running around packing ect. got a lot of calories burned that day.
Saturday morning I went on a trail run, I've done this run before and LOVE it! IT's along a river bank with dear and geese and fishermen catching fish. So peaceful. I got half way done with my run and was turning around when it started to hail! I had no choice but to keep going so I did. It didn't last long. My knee was a little sore towards the end, but I hadn't done all of the procotionary things I normally do. I had planed to do about 6 mile but stopped at 4.5 . Later donut man and I would 'walk' the rest of the rout. So I got over 6 miles in for the day.
Sunday morning I was debating the run or not, when one of my other friends in the group got up and was dressed and ready to go for a run with me. Oh I've inspired! Now I'm stuck doing it with her. She wanted a short run, that works for me. We ran it at my pace and with what my knee said I could do. I realized I was in training and my friends where just there to support ME. What an odd feeling.
After the 3.5 mile run, my husband and (the friend who went running with me's husband), and I got on our bikes and went for a 18 mile bike ride. They had asked if I could ride a bike after running. I said yes, that's one of my other mid lives, a triathlon.
This was to be a flat bike ride. Well it had rolling hills, nothing too bad and it was nice to have some hills. The problem was the wind came up and we had a heck of a head wind! then a side wind, (we road a loop route) you would think we'd have a back wind.. NAH it was a head wind again! Made for a GREAT leg work out! What I truly needed.
At the end of the ride the guy who was riding with us (he did the monster cookie bike ride last month with us) Came up to me and said "you're an ANIMAL!"
Again as we did this ride, it was MY TRAINING RIDE, and they where just along for support. It is a strange feeling to have this kind of love and support from my friends and family. It took both friends to keep up with me but they figured out how to make it work so I wasn't off by myself for the whole time doing this. (I'm ok being by myself too, sometimes that's why I do it).
Monday was pack up and go home day. I didn't do any run or anything that day as I couldn't remember what I was suppose to do. Today I'm off on a bike ride, I'm in a taper week, as the next 1/2 is this Saturday.
Oh one great thing I hadn't thought of when I planned all this, is that this weekend I was practicing on trails, at 4,500 feet elevation. The 1/2 marathon is going to be on a trail, at about 3500 feet elevation! So it was a good conditioning training for me.
I don't plan to beet my RnR 1/2 marathon time on this next run. I am just doing it for nostalgic reasons. I'm in it to have a good time. They are showing rain that day 30% chance. I'm hoping that if it does it's a light drizzle rain, and not the 1 inch in 1 hour that we had here locally this past weekend. (It didn't really rain where we where).
OK headed off on that bike ride.

Way to go! Sounds like a wonderful weekend and you're in good shape for your next half. I have to say, half marathons are addictive! Take care of yourself and listen to your body, you'll be fine doing the next half if you remember to take it at your own pace. WOO HOO for you!

Tucson, Ariz. ?- The University of Arizona football team capped off their two-week fall training camp with a scrimmage Saturday night in front of an estimated crowd of 7,500 at Arizona Stadium. With new Head Coach Mike Stoops at the helm the offense scored two touchdowns and the defense had two interceptions and six sacks during the two-hour scrimmage.
"We are a much better football team then we were last spring and even two weeks ago," said Head Coach Mike Stoops.
The offense made some big strides from last Saturday's scrimmage. Sophomore Kris Heavner was 20-of-28 for 212-yards and both touchdowns along with one interception. Heavner found both junior running back Gilbert Harris and senior tight end Steve Fleming for the touchdowns. In addition to Heavner, Sophomore Ryan O'Hara was 5-of-10 for 62-yards and red shirt freshman Richard Kovalcheck was 3-of-5 for 15-yards and one interception.
Along with their touchdowns Harris finished the evening 9 carries for 57-yards and Fleming had 5 catches for 46-yards.
Fleming led the receivers, but close behind him was sophomore Ryan Eidson who had three catches for 45 -yards. Newly changed to receiver junior Nic Costa had three catches for 39-yards. Sophomore Syndric Steptoe caught the ball 5 times for 28-yards.
Junior running back Mike Bell provided some exciting play. In the first series alone, Bell carried the ball seven times for 32-yards. He ended the evening with nine carried for 59-yards.
"Coaches just want me to get a feel for the game and get some good reps in," said Bell.
Stoops liked what he saw in the offense on Saturday night, "If we can manage the ball and protect the ball and just make our plays we are going to be fine, I'll tell you what I couldn't be pleased with the level of confidence...you can all see what he [Mike Bell] brings to the table every time he touches the ball. We're starting to get better," Stoops said.
Overall, the Arizona offense rushed for 143-yards on 24 carries, and the receivers tallied 18 receptions for 239-yards.
Heavner enjoyed the offense success Saturday, "It's so fun running the offense out there ?- it's so easy."
While the offense had fixed their mechanic errors form the start of camp, Coach Stoops wasn't all that impressed with the defensive side of the ball, but they still managed to come up big at times during the scrimmage. Junior safety Lamon Means and freshman Antonie Cason both had interceptions.
Senior defensive tackle Carlos Williams, junior defensive ends Copeland Bryan, red shirt freshmen Lionel Dotson and Jason Parker all combined for six sacks.
Senior linebacker Pat Howard led the team with eight tackles. Keil McDonald, Kirk Johnson, Marcus Hollingsworth followed Howard with seven tackles.
The defense also was able to break up five plays, along with two fumble recoveries by freshmen Johnathan Turner and B.J. Dennard.
Sophomore place kicker Nick Folk was 2-of-3 on extra points and freshman Jason Bondzio was 1-of-1.
Arizona's offense and defense both combined for 10 penalties. The offense had six and the defense had four.
Before the scrimmage Head Coach Mike Stoops thanked the crowd for their support and introduced the six team captains for the 2004 season. They include Keoki Fraser, Mike Bell, Steve Fleming, Darrell Brooks, Carlos Williams and Andre Torrey.
The scrimmage ended Arizona's 2004 fall training camp. The players will rest Sunday and Monday, before preparations for the Wildcats' season opener versus Northern Arizona at Arizona Stadium on Sept. 4 begin.

Weight Loss Challenge Goals
Sunday, March 24, 2013
I am not a writer nor a blogger by any means, but this weeks challenge required I write a blog about my goals so here goes. My goals extend way beyond this challenge. My ultimate goal is to lose at least 100 lbs before my wedding on April 5th 2014. That gives me just over a year to accomplish this. I can do it! In the meantime I just found out my cholesterol was high when it was checked a couple weeks ago. Last year when it was checked for the first time ever I was told it was great. So that means I need to get it under control sooner rather than later! I am focusing big time on the excercising and trying to watch my portions. These last couple days have not been good at all though so today I am back on track and starting the Heart Healthy thing in this house! My fiance has been doing most of the cooking because of being off work and being home all day while i'm working my behind off so I am going to have to get him on board with cooking healthier or I am going to have to start cooking more. He also has big weight loss goals though and is not as picky as I am so hopefully it won't be much of an issue. I am also going to try to plan our meals out so that we it will be easier to resist the urge to just run out and grab something. I am planning to google some recipes tonight for new meals.
Now for my short term goals of this challenge, I have had to think a little about this to come up with some. Here is what I came up with.
1.) Lose at least 20lbs
2.) Start the couch to 5k program (as soon as we start getting nicer weather I am wanting to try to start this. Winter decided to hit us late this year. It has been so cold lately and we got about 6 inches of snow last night.)
3.) Have more energy and not be so tired all the time
4.) Start eating healthier foods including more veggies and watching my portions
5.) Continue drinking lots of water and little to no soda (Been doing very good with this part so far!)
That seems like an awful lot for such a short timeframe so we will see what happens, but it gives me something to strive for. If I even achieve half of these I will be doing good and very proud of myself for what I accomplished.

Yay for you! These sound like awesome goals.
I have done similar Couch-to-5k programs and have absolutely loved them. I am by NO means a runner or a jogger. I always do a walking program. I have been surprised at how resilient my body is, even being so overweight, and how attainable it was to reach 5k. I'm not saying every day was easy, but it does get easier and very motivating when you reach that 5k mark. You can totally rock it. :D

I just started a C25K program last week... It definitely needs to warm up here too! Have you tried any of the Spark Recipes? I usually go there for inspiration, and tweak them a little using the "makeover" option. Good luck with the rest of the challenge!

All 25,000 care homes in England are to be reviewed and rated, with those failing to make the grade at risk of being shut down.
09:23, UK, Wednesday 16 July 2014
Every care home in England is to be inspected and rated in a new drive to prevent abuse and neglect of residents.
All 25,000 care homes and homecare services will be assessed by the Care Quality Commission, starting in October.
And from April next year, those rated as inadequate face being put into special measures.
If they fail to improve care within a set time limit they could be closed down.
The move follows the success of a turnaround programme in hospitals identified last year by NHS England as having a high death rate.
Details released by the Department of Health show that of 11 hospitals that were put into special measures, five have improved to such an extent that they have now been cleared, or are expected to be shortly.
Another four have made significant improvements but are expected to be kept under special measures for another six months. A decision on the final two is expected later this week.
Chief inspector of hospitals Professor Sir Mike Richards said: "We have seen significant improvements in almost all of the 11 trusts that were put into special measures, with exceptional progress in two trusts and very good progress in a further three.
"The hard work by trust staff that has underpinned this progress should be recognised.
"Special measures brings a new focus on quality improvement in trusts which have previously struggled to provide high quality care."
The failing hospitals were paired up with successful NHS Trusts to implement an action plan for improving care.
Overall, they recruited 603 more nurses, 721 nursing support staff and 101 doctors.
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said: "Mid Staffs was a wake-up call which uncovered how staff in a minority of isolated hospitals believed poor care was somehow normal and acceptable.
"Thanks to a sharp focus on admitting problems rather burying heads in the sand, some of these hospitals have tackled their deep-rooted failings for the first time and are on the road to recovery.
"Everybody wants to know they can get safe, compassionate care from their local hospital."
Tom Sandford, of the Royal College of Nursing, added: "Staffing levels must never again be dictated by finances rather than patient need.
"Getting staffing levels right will ensure that patients receive the care they deserve."

My wife frequently asks me who I was fighting a war with last night. What's that tell you? I storm the beaches and battle the Japs often.
My best friend's uncle was sleep walking/drunk with his pistol and killed his wife when she tried to wake him in their kitchen. The deputies found him behind a tree on their property. He thought he was on guard duty from his days in Vietnam. When he got to the station he kept dialing his wife to come bail him out. Then he was told of the ordeal that got him arrested.He had no idea he killed his wife. He did some time for manslaughter charge and to this day you can see in his eyes he's got pain. Truly sad.
As a Vet and someone who has worked for the VA I know PTSD can be a dangerous and very unhealthy thing.I wish he could have got more help for him and his family's sake.
Generally speaking, my wife is a lighter sleeper than I am, though our ears are tuned differently.
I think she could hear a baby whimper 50 yards away. A sudden wind hitting the house, a slight noise at the door and I'm immediately wide awake, we never "hear" the same thing.
I very seldom dream, or at least I don't remember most of them. I have on occasion, if the wife or anyone grabs or shakes me while I am asleep, attacked them, I have always stopped as soon as I get my wits about me, which doesn't take very long. My wife now hollers at me to wake up, she does not grab or shake anymore.
My father once had a dream that he was fighting with somebody and punched my mother. She was not to happy to be awoken in the middle of the night with a punch.
This thread is a bit spooky. I also have vivid dreams. And in very stressful times, I sleep walk. I've never even considered what that might mean with a weapon in the night stand.....but I am now.
I don't keep a loaded firearm within reach because of my dreams. If I can put my wife in a headlock in my sleep, who knows what else I might do and not realise it?
As others here, I have vivid dreams of combat and do not trust myself to keep a gun close to the bed. It is positioned so I must stand up and take a couple of steps and open a draw. I'm no sleep walker, and so far as I know have never moved a muscle during these dreams, but I don't want to take any chance.
Very good subject. I could write a book about my dreams but I will spare all of you and not. I fell 14' from a ladder onto a concrete floor and didn't land on my melon but on my hands and knees in 2001 or there abouts. Ever since then I am afraid of heights and am clasaphobic. My dreams don't involve guns but how bad that experience hurt, and oh did it ever!

OCZ has announced the first ever Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) from PC Power & Cooling. Dubbed the Pro-Source 1500 UPS, OCZ is touting it as the cost effective power protection solution for today's high-end enthusiast and mission-critical systems.
The full press release centers around the Pro-Source's ability to produce a pure sine wave instead of the inferior step sine wave that some cheaper UPS's offer. The pure sine wave is of the same quality that the utility line delivers, thus being easier on the PSU and offering greater reliability that the PSU doesn't reject the power.
While there is no mention of availability, OCZ says that the Pro-Source 1500 will retail for under $300.

Penn Social Learning Disorders Program
The Social Learning Disorder Program will be inactive for the indefinite future.
"I often feel that I don't fit in socially."
"I have trouble making and keeping close friends."
"I often misinterpret social situations and misunderstand the behavior of others."
"People sometimes consider me odd or eccentric."
"I am extremely uncomfortable in social settings and try to avoid them."
Do these problems sound familiar for you or someone you know?
Many of us find the social world confusing from time to time. People often do not "say what they mean" or "mean what they say". For people with social learning disorders (SLD), these interactions are particularly stressful.
If you are experiencing these difficulties, the services offered at Penn's Social Learning Disorders Program may help.

FPMM Downloads surpass 3500 copies, do you have a copy?
Posted by Michael Posner on March 29th, 2013
Wow, the free ebook download of the FPGA-based Prototyping Methodology Manual has surpassed 3500 downloads. The PDF version has been downloaded over 2800 times in addition to the Epub and Kindle version at over 500 times each.
We have collected over 2800 surveys from the users who requested the download. As expected the #1 downloader of the FPMM is hardware engineers. These engineers are living and breathing FPGA-based prototyping so get immediate value from the FPMM's guidance.
Based on this survey data the top challenges these engineers face still fall into the categories of ease of use, debug and performance. In the below data you can see mapping the ASIC into FPGA and clocking issues as the #1 and #2 challenges. Both of these are in the category of ease of use challenges and these barriers need to be crossed before you can get an operational FPGA-based prototype and become productive. This is where the Synopsys Certify multi-FPGA prototyping environment helps. Certify automates many of the steps needed to condition ASIC RTL ready for the FPGA-Based Prototype. For rapid bring up, Certify is configured to provide fast turn-around enabling multiple iterations per day as you experiment with implementations.
It's logical that once you have an operational prototype that the key need becomes debug visibility. The engineers need to debug the initial bring-up of the prototype and function. The Synopsys Identify tool helps here by providing various debug capabilities for system validation and fast turn-around with deep trace storage debug visibility.
Once you have a good stable FPGA-based prototype it's time for deployment for System Validation and software development. This is why the focus then changes to performance. You know that your software team won't tolerate waiting around 5 seconds for an OS to boot. Now is the time to configure Certify for full optimization and squeeze the most out of both the FPGA technology and the FPGA-Based Prototype.
Do you agree with these challenges or do you face others? Post a comment and let me know. Oh and sorry for the delay in blogging, I've been traveling the world again.

Paul prayed three times for the throne to disappear from his life. According to 2 Corinthians 12:8-9, "Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."
Most of us know about the above scripture where God told Paul "My grace is sufficient" after Paul had prayed three times about the thorn in his flesh. However, some people might not recognize the life application associated with that scripture.
To keep Paul from becoming conceited because of his surpassing great revelations, there was given him a thorn in his flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment him. Three times he pleaded with the Lord to take it away from him. But God said to Paul, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore Paul said he would boast all the more gladly about his weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on him. That is why, for Christ's sake, Paul delighted in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when he was weak, then God was strong. (2 Corinthians 12:7-10)
Paul never spoke of the thorn in his flesh again after this conversation with God. Sometimes God chooses to remove the thorn, and sometimes God leaves the thorn alone so His power can be made perfect in our weakness. If a thorn is still in your life after you have prayed for its removal, perhaps God is leaving it there for a reason. God just might be leaving it there so His power can be made perfect in your weakness. If God removed the thorn, He might also remove your anointing as well.
There are some thorns you might want to keep. If God removes the thorn, He will also remove the grace that goes along with the thorn. You have to leave the throne in place before God will say "My grace is sufficient."

Meryl Davis and Charlie White gave Team USA a great moment on the ice on Sunday. The Olympics inaugural Team Figure Skating competition came to a close at the Winter Games, but before it did the United State ice dancing portion of the competition received a high score. According on to ABC News on Sunday, the dancing couple have great chemistry on the ice, but off the ice they aren't dating.
While fans in America glazed into their televisions, they couldn't take their eyes off the dancing couple as Meryl Davis and Charlie White seemed to effortlessly skate the ice without even appearing to have a hint of trouble It was a moment that Americans were cheering on and even half way around the world the energy of the performance was felt.
The performance wasn't enough to cover the deficient of score to pull the Americans a silver, but the debut event gave Team USA a proud moment and a bronze medal. It was a tough competition, but all the athletes have excited the fans for the individual competitions that are set to start later this week. The talent that will be seen on the ice, especially from the Russian and American skaters will have many gasping as Sochi is giving fans some of the best athletes in the world.
Take a look at the photo slideshow of Meryl Davis and Charlie White on the ice on Sunday. It was a beautiful program!

I am no student of music. My foray into music reaches extends to screeching my recorder (or miming it) in unison with my other classmates at school assemblies or other such events designed to make audiences' ears bleed. Nor am I student of science – particularly the science of sound psychoacoustics. But after reading a particularly interesting article from the brainiacs at The Aftermatter, I began to appreciate the parallels between music and innovation.
The article helped me realise something very obvious. When two instruments play the same note, they still don't sound the same – I know my brain works slowly, but it does get there in the end! This, as explained in the article, has to do with harmonics and the sound vibrations produced by the instrument reacting in an infinite number of ways. The vibrations, emitted as sounds, are also affected by the musician's playing styles, the type of instrument and quite likely the number of drinks consumed.
So there is this wonderful paradox of bringing together all these competing variables to generate the harmonious sound that is music.
How is innovation dissimilar?
Innovation has its composers, students and influencers. It can be generated by individuals, teams (bands) or groups and yet still has an infinite number of variables that can be fused together to produce the same, but different, 'sound', the appreciation of which is subject to criticism, awards and ambivalence. NB: It is also subject to rip-offs and piracy.
But where are the conservatoriums of innovation? Universities are… arguably. The Fraunhofers of the world are closer to the ideal. For many hundreds of years the world has had institutions established throughout the world to perfect the art, and science, of music. Public and private sectors acknowledge the richness music bestows on us - how can we do the same to make the richness of innovation music to our ears?
