SAN ANSELMO, Calif. (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Two out of every three people diagnosed with cancer today survive at least five years, and the right food may have a lot to do with winning that battle.
It's called Magic Mineral Broth and this batch is in the making. Julie Burford oversees a group pf teens prepping meals for people dealing with diseases like cancer.
Julie Burford, head of Ceres Community Project, told Ivanhoe, "The treatment process itself is very destructive of people's ability to eat.
Nutrition can't be put on the back burner during treatment. Broths and purees can go down easy, even with side effects like fatigue, nausea, mouth and throat soarness.
Burford said, "When they are going through retirement they have a more intense need for nourishment than at any other time."
The Magic Mineral Broth can help hydrate the body. It's also an excellent source of magnesium, potassium and sodium. Physical therapist Kathleen McDonough MA, PT, PMA-CPT says even the smallest dose is good for you.
McDonough told Ivanhoe, "It's just so packed with nutrients, even if you can take just one bite its better than most foods."
For patients looking for the best nutritional bets to ward off disease, experts say almonds, apples, blueberries, broccoli, beans, salmon, spinach, sweet potatoes, tomato juice and wheat germ are among the best choice. Many of these are high in vitamin A, vitamin C and antioxidants.
McDonough told Ivanhoe, "Good healthy nutritious whole foods support the healing process, no matter if it is an orthopedic problem or cancers."
And that's why these kids continue to cook up concoctions to conquer cancer.
People with cancer often need more protein than usual to help heal tissues and fight infection. Eggs, lean red meat, fish and nuts are good sources of protein.

Work/Stay at Home Mom Going Crazy. What to do?
I've been working at home full time for about 6 years and I've always missed working outside the house because as a result I'm very lonely and my circle of friends is VERY limited since I don't have a chance to interact with anyone but my husband, all my friends are out of the country so the 3 friends I have in the states are actually my husband's friends. Now we have a 4 month old girl and I'm going crazy, all I do is clean the house, take care of my baby and work, sometimes I don't leave the house in 5 days because I just don't have the time. Any ideas of what I can do? Where can I go to meet people? I'm getting very depressed and am not sure what to do or where to start. Please help!

Now she's in preschool and I work my schedule around that. It's tough and difficult to meet people. I used take my daughter to things like story time at the library. Now she's at school during that time, but it was nice at the time. I've also gone to some groups I found on meetup.com that are related to some of my hobbies. Of course that has to be on a weekend with hubby watching our daughter and it is tough to find the time.posted 01/18/2013 by agent2187

Taking a look at the big picture, result glitches aside, results posted on porta- potties..... I raced on Sunday and was amazed at the number of police on the course, 93 & Marshall Road, Marshall Road & Koppenberg Road...... many more. The road closure on McCaslin from the top of the Hump to the top of the Wall, Full Road usage up the Wall...... FULL LANE down Hwy 93! Wow big thanks to the town of Superior and the promoter. I can not imagine the hours and cost to set this all up. I am sure the costs far exceeded the revenue from entry fees. MANY THANKS from a GRATEFUL RACER to have the opportunity to be able to race this course with so much support, effort, money put into making it happen.

Submitted by Boulder Racing (not verified) on
Thank you to everyone who came out and raced. Thank you to the Town of Superior, US Pro Challenge, volunteers, staff, vendors, and everyone who worked diligently in putting this race together. It was a great weekend of racing, with challenging terrain and weather. While we generally refrain from posting on these blogs I'd just like thank not only those mentioned above, but those who've posted here as well. I won't go into too much detail here, but as racers ourselves and full time promoters we're with you on the course (when not a BR event), and we also strive to be better just as you all do when it comes to bike racing. We will take these comments and suggestions of improvement and implement them into next years event, and upcoming 2012 races. There is no "perfect" race, however we will continue to make changes, simplify things, and keep improving upon the race and the athlete's experience each and every year, and each and every race.
As you saw with the results of Friday's TT there are better ways of using chip timing. We do it at our other non-cycling events, and you will see the same level at our bike racing events no matter what we need to do.
We'll add tie downs to our results board so windy conditions won't prevent us from putting it up. We'll find a way to put up the arch at the TT no matter what the wind does, and we'll continue to strive to give you the best races in the state no matter what it takes. That's our promise and you can hold us to it. Please feel free to come talk to us and give us suggestions at events and any time you see us, we welcome them and helps us to give you a better race!
Keep up the great racing and we'll see you on the road!

Thanks Tony for a great positive response, putting on a 3 day event one time a year is challenging getting all the details right. I would suggest next year for the TT either try to close the traffic circle to cars or start the TT where the feedzone was in the RR, and run it out to 93 turn around and back up to the top of the climb before the wall. Putting TT riders at 20 sec intervals into a downhill one lane traffic circle with alot of traffic is just not a good idea. It is dangerous and not equitable to the competitors.

He spent a day in the UCI with a skull fracture, but has been showing extremely good progress and was moved out of intensive care last night. Aside from the fracture, he's got some road rash but that's about it, which is quite lucky for a 40+ mph crash. The trauma rehab doctor said he will not require any rehab, and his speech and motor skills are all fine. Our teammates visited him in the hospital last night, and he is in good spirits, but remembers nearly nothing about the accident. Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and concerns for him during this endeavor!

Timing System
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
The problem is not with the timing system. Like many technologies it is GIGO - garbage in, garbage out.
The Friday TT used one system. It was all on-line pre-registration - no "day of" registration. The start list was clean and there was no chance to mess up the registration.
Saturday and Sunday had "day-of" registration.
The timing system used on Saturday and Sunday is the same one used at Cherry Creek and results are posted throughout the race. Usually, the results are posted on the ACA website by the next morning.
While it is easy to blame "The ACA Timing System", no system can work if there is an incomplete or corrupted start list.

110 racers together
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
I am not sure about the safety of having 110 cyclists racing together in one single lane of road. The SM35+4 and SM45+4 combined to be one mass soon after the neutral start. I wonder if that could have led to the accident of the cyclsit that crashed on the downhill on the backside of the course. There are a lot of people inexperienced in tight group riding like that. What if that cyclist had been thrown into the front of a moving car? Wouldn't it be better to give the SM35+4's a five minute start ahead of the SM45+4 group and not allow the two groups to merge together? It may also be a contributing factor for a very very slow and error filled results. No Omnium results yet but at the same time, the SM45+4 (not sure about the others) results are still wrong.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Agreed! And by the way who really gives a crap about the 30 or so "pros" (which I thought were in Cali, or Italy, or building up for the TDF somewhere in the Alps or Pyrenees). There were less than 100 people watching that race, and if you are over 30, its probably time to hang up the real pro cyclist dream anyway. The men's 4 category with nearly 200 riders accounted for over a third of the revenue for this race. Which seems way more important to this race's future than any other group out there (and frankly most other CO races too). So why was this group treated like this?...lumped together at 8 am and still no accurate results, wasting time away from families after the race trying to help the race officials straighten out who was who and where they finished - and all for the ridiculous price of this race at $75, for what I am still not sure (just becasue using the old Red Zinger/Coors Classic Mogul Bismark name I guess) as compared to more professional run races at $35.

Crashes are time-honored traditions in 35 and 45, cat 4 categories. Lap 1-5 in a crit and somewhere in 5-1 to go are favorite places to smack your head on the ground with your buddies. And since most of the best bike handlers are afraid of crits, RRs offer up crashportunities whenever there is 90 degree corner to the right or left, a feedzone, crosswind, uphill, downhill, roundabout, snake in the road, orange cone, a waving child, or God help us a 180 degree change of direction.

How does someone that did not do one or two of the races, gets to be placed in the Omnium? There is a sizeable difference in skipping the TT and/or Crit and being completely fresh for the road race.

No, a stage race scored on points instead of time, or a stage race scored on time, would be all about finishing all three races.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
SR can be scored by time (for GC) or by points, for standings. A SR differs from an omnium in that one requires completion of all stages, and the other does not.
Part of the appeal (for some) of an omnium is figuring out the best way to maximize your points. For example, if you know you can't TT worth a darn, you may just sit that race out to save energy, giving up any chance for a few points, so maybe you can win even more points later. Some folks who don't like crits may choose to just do a TT and RR.
For a SR scored on points, you'd still do the TT, but just soft-pedal it, so to speak. Traditional SR scored on time, you do everything you can to minimize the damage. Thus, a SR scored on time is a better measure of an all-around rider, which leads most folks to prefer them, IMO.

Teen, jailed 30 days for contempt in truancy case, wins appeal
An Appleton teen who spent 30 days in jail for contempt on a truancy case was the victim of a biased judge, the state Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday.
Kylie M. Johnson was cited for habitual truancy in March 2012 and then skipped her court hearing too. Outagamie County Circuit Judge Mark McGinnis entered a default judgment and when she did appear at a later hearing, promised her she'd be found in contempt if she didn't meet a list of conditions, chief among them going to school.
Johnson missed school, and another court hearing, and was ultimately sent to jail in June for 30 days.
The appeals court rejected Johnson's argument that the initial default judgment was void because of defects in the initial truancy ticket.
But it did agree that McGinnis showed objective bias through the case. Johnson argued that " the
judge's promise that she would be found in contempt for any violation of its order constitutes prejudgment because the mere violation of a court order is an insufficient basis for contempt — the violation must be intentional and contemptuous."
The appellate court also noted Johnson's only avenue to purge the contempt was to attend summer school, even though she had testified she had no job, or money to register, and couldn't contact her father.
Someone held in contempt must be given a purge condition that they alone can achieve. "Here, the court failed to determine that Johnson herself would be able to complete the purge condition, and Johnson unfortunately ended up serving thirty days of jail," the appeals court wrote.
The court said it would normally remand such a case for a new hearing in front of an impartial judge, but was instead reversing it outright. "Moreover, we decline to dismiss this case as moot even though our decision will have no practical effect on this case because we are disturbed that a seventeen-year-old improperly served thirty days in jail" for failing to attend school.

From there, the DJIA has skyrocketed to new heights, deserving the name, the "Obama stock market rally."
The Dow's last record-breaking peak occurred on December 31, 2013, so there's something to be said for finally reaching a new level in 2014. The S&P 500 ended just shy of a record close, and the Nasdaq also ended the day higher, though the gains were modest.

First, the Federal Reserve Board, led by Fed Chair Janet Yellen, stayed the course and despite a grim growth in the first three months of the year, decided to keep moving slowly toward the exit of its bond-buying stimulus plan, trimming its bond-buying strategy by $10 billion to $45 billion for the fourth straight meeting. The fed felt that the economy has gained traction recently after the sharp slowdown, trimming its monthly asset purchases for its fourth consecutive $10 billion cut.
At the same time, the Fed repeated that it's likely to keep the benchmark interest rate near zero for a "considerable time" after bond purchases end.
The second event came before the bell this morning, ADP released its latest report, as its reported that private employers hired 220,000 more workers in April, the highest monthly total this year. ADP said professional and business services led all sectors this month with 77,000 additional jobs followed by the trade, transportation and utilities sector with 34,000. Construction gained 19,000 jobs. Manufacturing added 1,000 jobs.
ADP's report raises optimism about Friday's closely followed Labor Department report on April employment.
Many analysts are expecting a jobs report this Friday from the Department of labor's Bureau of Statistics to report at least a growth of 200,000. Anything less than 200,000 April jobs would most certainly be a deep disappointment.
The decision by the fed came on the heels of a report that showed the economy barely grew in the first three months of the year. However, weather was blamed for the downturn in the quarter.
The Commerce Department said the economy expanded at a 0.1% rate in January, February and March, an abrupt deceleration from 2.6% growth in the last quarter of 2013.
"Who would imagine we would get a first-quarter GDP print so disappointing and yet we're closing the stock market at a high. That shows investors are absolutely looking past the first quarter, and looking to the Fed to continue with lower rates," said a senior market strategist at Everbank, Chris Gaffney. "The Fed has given investors what they were expecting, and investors like that stability."

John Van Tongeren, III, 83, entered this world on February 12, 1929 in Conrad, Montana and departed this life on August 18, 2012 at his home in Springfield, MO. He was preceded in death by his parents, John II and Lucille (Kulikamp) Van Tongeren; 1 son, John Van Tongeren IV; 2 sisters; 1 son-in-law and 1 daughter-in-law.
John had dedicated his life to Jehovah and had a strong faith in the Bible's promise of resurrection. He will be remembered by his family and friends for his generosity and genuine concern only for others, very seldom (if ever) for himself.
He was raised on a farm outside the town of Conrad until he moved his family to California because of the cold weather, where he worked as a groundskeeper for 10 years in San Bernardino's Mt. View Cemetery. In 1965, he relocated his family to Springfield, in search of a city with cleaner air. While searching for a job, John found Eastlawn Cemetery where he worked for over 40 years as the caretaker. He had such a passion for nature and archeology that even his vacations included helping his brother on the farm in Montana.
Being a perfectionist, he took pride in all endeavors throughout his life. He took great pride in preparing his plots at Eastlawn and making them as beautiful as possible under the trees.
Survivors include his former wife, Avis Cave of Clever, MO; 2 daughters, Diana Rader of Republic, MO and Rose Marie and Phillip Downs of Springfield, MO; 1 son, Douglas Van Tongeren of Sacramento, CA; 1 brother, Maynard and Linda Van Tongeren of Conrad, MO; former wife, Judy Van Tongeren; 1 step-son; 1 step-daughter; 6 grandchildren; 1 step-granddaughter; 11 great-grandchildren; 2 step-great-grandchildren; 9 great-great-grandchildren and numerous nieces, nephews and many friends.

Stuart Gili-Ross on the band's success, the haters and finally put to bed the rumours surrounding their parting of ways with Warner Bros
Photo by Marcus Maschwitz
Unquestionably Britain's most successful punk act of the last decade, Gallows are a band who everybody has an opinion on one way or another. The Watford-based outfit's rise from being cult favourites on the underground hardcore scene to becoming the subject of an industry bidding war, which culminated in them signing a million pound deal with Warner, is an unparalleled success story. Sure other UK bands such as Enter Shikari and You Me At Six have similarly blown up huge in recent years, but simply put, never has a British band so damn-right vitriolic and uncommerical sounding as Gallows attracted this level of attention before.
It all started with the release of their stonking 2006 debut album Orchestra of Wolves (Reviewed here) through In at the Deep End Records, initially to little fanfare, a series of blistering live shows saw the mainstream media suddenly prick up their ears and rediscover the album and suddenly the Gallows rollercoaster was in full swing. After signing to Warner their debut was swiftly re-released to a much wider audience, and last year the band delivered Orchestra of Wolves' hotly-anticipated follow up Grey Britain (Review here). A marked departure from their venomous, foul-mouthed debut, Grey Britain received near universal praise from press on both sides of the Atlantic, and yet the band split with Warner late last year amongst all manner of rumours.
Following their latest stint in the US supporting AFI, the five-piece toured a number of the UK's smaller towns and cities in November and December, but were forced to postpone the latter part of the tour when guitarist Steph Carter was taken ill. Prior to the band's storming rescheduled date at The Peel in Kingston [Live Review], Dan Jones grabbed some time with bassist Stuart Gili-Ross to discuss the band's success, the haters and finally put to bed the rumours surrounding their parting of ways with Warner Bros...
You've had a bit of a down period at the start of the year before these rescheduled dates, what have you been up to?
"As you know managing others bands, trying to get all that sorted out and organized. I'm in another band too called Spy Catcher and we've been recording and playing shows as well, we went to Holland with them. So yeah, I've been really busy doing other stuff outside of Gallows."
What have you been recording with Spy Catcher? An EP?
"No, they're basically album quality demos. We're looking at doing an album so we've just basically approached the recording like we're doing our album, but the idea is to really get someone interested to pay for us to record the album after that."
Did you meet the other Spy Catcher guys through the Watford scene?
"I've known them all for years yeah. They're all from Watford, who we all went to school and played in bands with over the years, so it's pretty natural to play with them."
Gallows seem to have a good connection with Kingston and The Peel in particular, playing the venue a number of times despite it being a small venue for a band of your size. So what's behind the love in?
"Well it's been around for years obviously and back in the days when we were all reading Fracture zine and stuff, it was the place to come to, to see really cool shows and so we saw a lot of bands that we love here before we played in a band together. We always wanted to be one of those bands that play here and its always been really cool. The sounds always been good, the crowds always mental. It's just a really good layout, it's like a traditional venue in terms of there's a stage a floor and a bar, there's no weird barriers or balconies or any shit like that, it's just a really cool place for us to play."
As well as the Kingston date, this tour has seen you play a lot of non-traditional towns that bands usually avoid like the plague. What's the thinking behind it? Is it anything to do with you all coming from a satellite town yourselves that bands don't play?
"Yeah, exactly, that's a big part of it. We just wanted to play to those people who we'd missed out before. A lot of bands do, so it's nice to go there as they really appreciate it when you do go and the shows have reflected that, they've been really lively."
So Grey Britain is almost a year old now, how do you feel about the record listening back to it? Are you still immensely proud of it?
"Yeah I'm still really proud of it. It's funny you ask because I haven't really listened to it much since we finished it until I put it on a couple of times the other week. I think the songs still stand up and I'm not sick of it yet!"
Gallows - The Vulture (Act II)
Would you say Grey Britain was written much more as a band compared to Orchestra of Wolves?
"Definitely. We didn't even have singer when we were doing Orchestra of Wolves. The songs were written when Lags would come around to my house and we'd just try and get it written, and this one was much more focused and was a completely different way of approaching it."
Grey Britain was a brave and big step on from Orchestra of Wolves, but do you still enjoy playing the songs from your first record?
"Yeah I do. Or I like the reaction they get, put it that way."
Grey Britain was a concept record that focused on everything that's wrong with "broken Britain", but do you think everyone has a love hate relationship with where they're from?
"Sure the grass it always greener if you're from somewhere else. But I don't know, Frank's leaving to America and I could see myself living somewhere else definitely, but I think it's a hate hate relationship really."
The album can be seen as a political statement. Do you see Gallows as a political band?
"Well, we always said from the start that we'd never be a political band, but I guess you can't not be to some extent these days really if you're talking about the things that we're talking about on our record. It has politicised us a bit I suppose yeah."
So as I said earlier the album has been out for a year now, have you had the chance to work on any new tracks yet?
"We had some time off in Brooklyn in the gap in the AFI tour we did and we recorded a few songs there in a studio, but other than that not really no, as we're still on the road."
Late last year you left Warner after all the hype of you signing with them. What can you tell us about what happened there?
"They signed us on a two album deal with an option for if they wanted to keep us on and if we wanted to stay to do two more that had to match the level which we were signed at before. The two albums we delivered for them were Grey Britain and Orchestra of Wolves so we fulfilled our contract. But the whole music industry has changed, we were like the last big record deal to get signed for that kind of money and they're just not happening any more. So we just parted ways, we'd fulfilled our contract and it was very unlikely that we were going to get signed for another million pounds again."
Gallows - London Is The Reason
Do you think that Warner expected too much from you? Realistically a hardcore band can't get much bigger than you already were at the time.
"I don't know really, I didn't really think about it. We never had to change what we were about and stuff. The people who actually signed us to the label weren't working there for much longer after we signed so it was weird. I guess they fucked up, but whatever, we're laughing"
So do you think we've seen the last of the majors spending so much after this?
"Oh yeah definitely. It's a fact now that the only kind of record deal that you get are 360 deals and are definitely not for anywhere near the kind of money that was thrown at us."
Do you tend to read much press at all about the band?
"We get sent our press cuttings from our PR guys sometimes"
I ask because I've seen some of you on various forums, does it annoy you reading some of the stuff that gets written there? What's the most ludicrous thing you've ever read about the band?
"There's too many to mention really. I kind of read that stuff for amusement half the time, but there's a couple of times where you've got to bite your lip because some people are just so ignorant, they think they know what's going on. I think the most ridiculous thing I read was that people thought we'd signed for Warner and would end up in a load of debt. That you have to pay record advances back or something, it's just not how it works."
Do you think it's a British mentality that there's always a backlash against our bands who do well?
"Yeah definitely. It's definitely a British thing where you support a band until they get out of the basement and then we hate them. I've probably been guilty of it before I was a musician. I don't know why we're like that."
Have you had any ideas what you're going to do label wise next then?
"We're courting a few labels at the moment, I think words out that we're free agents. We're not in any real hurry so we'll see what comes our way."
Are you still with Epitaph in the US?
"No, we're completely label free for the world. We're still talking to them about doing the next record and stuff, but nothings been decided on."
So do you think you'll be spending as much time over in the US and doing Warped Tour again?
"I don't think we'll do Warped Tour again"
Is is not an enjoyable experience then?
"It can be for like the first three weeks, but it's like ten weeks non stop. After the first few weeks it's just like Groundhog Day."
Is it draining for you touring then? Is it difficult keeping up the intensity of your performances on tour?
"Oh yeah, completely. Gallows is a basically a release for us and when you're playing shows that often, everyday, you've got nothing really to get off your chest so it's hard."
Gallows - I Dread The Night
Refreshingly you don't always speak well of bands you tour with such as an Warped Tour, but do you ever think that in doing so you're giving the bands the oxygen of publicity they don't deserve?
"We started thinking about that and we stopped actually mentioning their names. But we definitely have more people agreeing with us than not."
You've archived a hell of a lot as a band so far, but has there been any particular moment you knew you made it?
"Last year's Reading and Leeds festivals were pretty insane that was pretty mental. Just compliments from your peers really, like Henry Rollins and Keith Morris, the Black Flag singers for example, giving our band shout outs from onstage. Rage Against The Machine asking us to do shows with them all the time is really cool because I grew up listening to that band."
Did you ever think it was weird when you appeared on Guitar Hero?
"Oh god the only time I've ever played that was when it first came out, there was a launch night with a free bar so me and Lags went down to have some beers and check out the game and we were just awful at it. It's actually harder when you know how to play the song really."
You mentioned Spy Catcher and then of course there's the other bands you manage, do these other commitments ever get in the way of Gallows?
"Not really. I mean other than when I'm talking to yourself for example or for that hour onstage at the end of the night you can see that we're pretty much sitting around with our thumbs up our arses so I'm normally always on my laptop sorting stuff out or on the phone so it's fine. When Spy Catcher did The Get Up Kids tour last year and I was on Warped Tour, the guy who usually bass techs for me in this country filled in, so it's pretty easy man."
You're off to play in Australia at the end of the month, but after that what are your plans for the rest of the year?
"I'm going to have a month off in America with my fiancée after Australia and then we go to Japan to do Punkspring and then we've got a couple of shows in Europe and doing the festivals in the summer. Then after that I don't know, start looking at writing some new songs, that's about it really. We've just toured our arses off for the last five-six years so now it's nice just to stop and take a look around us, and like you say, when was the time I felt I had achieved something, I think that will happen when I actually stop and look back because we haven't really had any time off."
Gallows' second album, Grey Britain, is out now through Warner Bros.

Pharrell Williams had the fans of the 86th Annual Academy Awards dancing on Sunday night. Performing the first song of many nominated for an award that night, "Happy" felt more like a celebration of life than it did an Oscars moment. The fans were bouncing around on the balcony and even the stars were standing up and singing during Pharrell's performance, as his energy was contagious.
Thankfully, Pharrell didn't forget his Grammys hat when he arrived on stage. The star looked relaxed and ready for the party as he gave his performance that had everyone tapping their shoes and was truly over-the-top fun.
Take a look at the video clip of Pharrell perform "Happy" at the Oscars. It was a moment to remember!

"I chose that old African proverb to title my book because it offers a timeless reminder that children will thrive only if their families thrive and if the whole of society cares enough to provide for them." – Hillary Clinton speech, "It takes a village to raise a child," Tuesday, August 27, 1996.
The kidnapping of hundreds of schoolgirls in Nigeria proves that not only Hillary Clinton's book title It Takes A Village: And Other Lessons Children Teach Us but the "old African proverb" from which she took it were only half right; in Africa it takes a village full of very heavily armed gun-toting people to raise a child.
The local police in Nigeria have guns, just as the local police in America have guns. The local "militants" in Nigeria have guns, just as the local gangbangers in America have guns.
The big difference in most of America's cities is that moms and dads and other citizens have a right to be armed as well.
The big difference in Africa is that the militants out-gun the police, the gangbangers, the military and, obviously, the unarmed parents.
Because of the immense social and cultural differences between the Third World African village where the schoolgirls were kidnapped and the modern American society where our own children go to school means that such a thing couldn't happen here.
Except that it does.
Not exactly the same things, by the same kinds of people, for the same reasons, in the same numbers, but it does happen here.
It happens in our schools because American schools, like the schools in that Nigerian village, are Gun Free Zones.
But not any more in Nigeria.
AN AP article reported that Nigerian villagers learned that the Boko Haram terrorists who kidnapped the schoolgirls were planning another attack, so they armed themselves and formed vigilante groups. They succeeded in killing and capturing scores of militants and offered the survivors in exchange for their girls.
Channeling Hillary again, "...children will thrive only if their families thrive and if the whole of society cares enough to provide for them." Denying citizens the right to carry and use guns – the most effective means of defense – proves that "the whole of society" in America does not care enough to provide for them.
Libertarians aren't averse to raising their children in a village as long as it's a village of free and voluntary individuals.

Call 1-866-449-2781
The AO55 is available either as a wall-mount unit here, or pre-mounted on an insertion meter (see the IP Paddlewheel Meters, the EX Magmeters, or the TX Turbine Meters.)
Blind 4-20 mA Converter, Analog Transmitter, Wall Mount.
For further information on the AO converter and other models in this series click here.
A listing of all available AO55 models is available here.
This unit is useful for the following applications:
The AO55 is a blind transmitter, meaning that it has no display. It can be used with almost all Seametrics flow sensors. It takes the variable frequency pulse input from the flow sensor and converts it into a 4-20mA output signal. Power is taken from the analog device that it is connected to. The digital design makes it possible to span the unit in the field without tools. The frequency at which 20 mA is desired is entered on a set of rotary switches, and an internal microcontroller automatically scales all other values accordingly. An additional benefit of the microcontroller is its ability to average inputs, for smoothing of the output signal. The degree of averaging can be selected in the field, from 2 to 16 seconds.
For maximum environmental protection, the electronic components are encased in a special semi-flexible urethane potting material. The fuse-coated cast aluminum clamshell housing is provided with mounting feet (or connected directly to the flow sensor for the insertion meters).
The AO55 will operate on a relatively wide range of current loop voltages, 24 to 36 VDC. Lower voltages limit the load that can be applied to the loop without distortion of the signal. (See Load/Supply chart in the Specifications under the Download tab if there is a question regarding voltage vs. load.) A built-in power regulator supplies the appropriate power to the flow sensor.
This unit can optionally be ordered with a connector for an LMI metering pump that accepts 4-20 mA signals. The "-06" option specifies the LMI 4-pin connector, while the "-106" option specifies the LMI Roytronic 5-pin connector.

Close Tweet0 Share0 Comment0 Share0 Share0 Stumble It0 Print0 More Point Forward Kevin Love trade ideas for Timberwolves by Rob Mahoney Add Favorite Favorite Added Twitter Email Posted: Wed May 21, 2014 Updated: Sat Jun. 14, 2014 If Kevin Love is on his way out of Minnesota, what might the Wolves get in return? (David Sherman/NBAE via Getty Images)The Kevin Love sweepstakes are officially open. After months (if not years) of denying interest in dealing their franchise player, the Timberwolves' hard line has reportedly softened. The change -- from We will not trade Kevin Love to We will not trade Kevin love before the draft and Never say never -- is hugely significant. Love, a three-time All-Star who averaged 26.1 points and 12.5 rebounds this season, will be among the most sought-after free agents in 2015 and a prime trade target until then, making his availability a matter of league-wide importance.Love, 25, has not demanded a trade, according to ESPN.com. He has, however, expressed to Minnesota his intention to become a free agent next summer and his lack of interest in a contract extension, nudging the Wolves toward desperation. His plans leave the Wolves with few options and, at the least, introduces the question of what a trade package for Love might look like. What return can a team without much leverage expect for a top-10 player set to hit the open market in a year? Let's kick the tires, in no particular order.CHICAGO BULLSTimberwolves acquire: Taj Gibson, Carlos Boozer, Jimmy Butler and a 2015 first-round pick (lottery-protected)Bulls acquire: Kevin Love, J.J. Barea and Alexey ShvedChicago pops up consistently in Love stories, in part because an ESPN.com report singled out the Bulls as a team that "intrigues" the superstar. The other reason: The arrangement makes a whole lot of basketball sense, both for finding a contender for Love -- who hasn't made the playoffs in six seasons with the Wolves -- and bringing a sound return for Minnesota.In some cases, giving up assets for a player on the brink of free agency can be a very reckless move. A team runs the risk of not only losing the initial trade by surrendering too much talent but also of watching the acquired player decide to sign elsewhere after the season. Love's interest in the Bulls helps mitigate against that risk up front, as does the presence of former MVP Derrick Rose, Defensive Player of the Year Joakim Noah and coach Tom Thibodeau. If Love couldn't be sold on an extension immediately (or at least persuaded to opt in for 2015-16), I'd still expect him to hash out a new deal with the Bulls as quickly as Chris Paul did with the Clippers. If his commitment could be somewhat assured, Chicago might be willing to give up more than some other Love suitors -- a legitimate advantage in a competitive trade market.There's no single headlining piece in this potential deal for Minnesota, but the main draws, Gibson and Butler, could be defensive bookends on a team that needs reshaping. Minnesota was a complete wreck on offense whenever Love sat this season, slumping from 108.5 points per 100 possessions to just 98 per 100. That void won't be filled easily, but the Wolves could instead shift gears to become a more formidable defensive team. This deal would accomplish that much while also landing Boozer for depth and adding a first-round pick, though adjustment could be made to incorporate the rights to Nikola Mirotic or other minor assets.CLEVELAND CAVALIERSTimberwolves acquire: Anderson Varejao, Dion Waiters, Anthony Bennett, Tristan Thompson and a 2016 first-round pick (top-10 protected)Cavaliers acquire: Kevin Love, J.J. Barea and Alexey ShvedGOLLIVER: Lottery winners and losersMinnesota will surely ask about the No. 1 pick in any talks with Cleveland, but there could be a workable deal without its inclusion. In this framework, the Wolves would get a useful veteran defender in Varejao (who could be subsequently traded or waived to save nearly $6 million), a low buy on Bennett, a decent rotation piece in Thompson, a wild-card addition in Waiters and a future pick. Again, there's no star-in-waiting prospect or high pick for the Wolves, but perhaps sheer volume of assets could bridge the divide.If this doesn't seem like quite enough for Love, that's very much by design. Minnesota is unlikely to get an established star in a deal for its best player, as one would otherwise expect, because his ability to opt out of his contract is just too prohibitive and the Wolves are negotiating from a place where a trade is all but necessary. That combination encourages teams to toe the line with regard to what might be considered a reasonable trade offer, possibly to the point of taking assets like the No. 1 pick off the table.DETROIT PISTONSTimberwolves acquire: A signed-and-traded Greg Monroe and Kyle SinglerPistons acquire: Kevin LoveIf Monroe can be sold to sign on as running mate to Ricky Rubio, a move like this one could be quite feasible. For the sake of argument, let's assume that Monroe is willing to accept a sub-max deal, perhaps in range (in terms of percentage of the salary cap) of Derrick Favors' four-year, $48 million extension with the Jazz last year. After adjusting for 2014-15 cap projections, the first-year salary would be about $12.3 million -- perfect for building toward a match of Love's $15.7 million outgoing salary. Add in Singler, a useful wing player who will be paid $1.1 million next season, and we have the grounds for a legal transaction. Greg Monroe could be the closest Minnesota gets to landing an established star for Kevin Love. (Allen Einstein/NBAE via Getty Images)Detroit's motivations here are fairly obvious: The combination of Love, Josh Smith and Andre Drummond, as coached by Stan Van Gundy, would be a sure bet for the Eastern Conference playoffs. In fact, Love might be one of the precious few players who could make playing Smith on the wing more tenable. He has the shooting range to allow Smith to work inside, the passing ability to facilitate a more fluid system and the pure scoring skills to redeem the Pistons' offense. Plus, with Smith and Drummond able to cover for Love defensively, Detroit could field a terrifyingly versatile lineup with its limitations well addressed.ROSENBERG: Why Van Gundy sought total control of PistonsMinnesota would land Monroe, provided he's amenable. Any move that the Timberwolves make will require a stark positional downgrade from Love, as is inevitably the case when trading one of the best players in the sport. Monroe, though, may well be the best big man available, given the implicit conditions that the Wolves now face. He is admittedly imperfect; Minnesota would be trading down in offensive talent for a player with familiar defensive weaknesses. But the Wolves at least would get a steady, productive piece as they develop a new roster. In case of emergency, settle for a perfectly solid big man who averages 16.7 points and 10.2 rebounds per 36 minutes.HOUSTON ROCKETSTimberwolves acquire: Chandler Parsons, Terrence Jones, Omer Asik, a 2015 first-round pick an a 2017 first-round pick (lottery-protected)Rockets acquire: Kevin LoveRockets owner Leslie Alexander has said his team will be chasing big names this summer. Love very much qualifies. The offensive fit could be brilliant. While incorporating three high-usage stars could lead to early growing pains, the raw firepower of Love, James Harden and Dwight Howard would be enough to overwhelm most opponents. Houston would take a step forward in its contention by consolidating talent in an ever-trendy trio of superstars.GALLERY: Classic photos of Kevin LoveNaturally, any such deal would come at very real cost to the Rockets. Parsons, who will earn just $964,750 next season in the final year of his deal, would be the toughest to see go for the same reasons he would be a very necessary inclusion. Parsons, 25, is not a star, but the former second-round pick is close enough and cheap enough to draw big interest. His versatility would be worth investing in, and Minnesota would have the inside track on Parsons' 2015 free agency by holding his Bird rights. A package bolstered by Jones, a draft pick and Asik (for salary filler/trade bait) isn't too bad, though Parsons' interest in re-signing is a huge caveat.GOLDEN STATE WARRIORSTimberwolves acquire: David Lee, Klay Thompson and Harrison BarnesWarriors acquire: Kevin Love and Alexey ShvedThis deal and its slight variations might be the most discussed of all potential Love trades, likely because of the pure exhilaration of possibly seeing Love space the floor for a team that already is pretty loaded. He is the gateway to a fever dream -- a Warriors team that could make good on its offensive potential by giving Stephen Curry room to run pick-and-roll without sacrificing size. In essence, Love brings small-ball appeal without the situational discomfort of actually fielding smaller lineups. The Warriors are reportedly reluctant to include Klay Thompson in a Kevin Love trade. (Andrew D. Bernstein/NBAE via Getty Images)Whether such a deal would be enticing enough to Minnesota, though, is another story entirely. It likely boils down to just what the Wolves make of Lee, whose $15.2 million average annual salary over the next two seasons is very rich for a player of his limitations, especially on defense. If Minnesota could see past those weaknesses to Lee's wide range of offensive utility, then maybe an agreement could be reached. If the Wolves instead see Lee's contract as a salary-matching burden, I don't think Thompson is either productive or promising enough to seal the deal. (The Warriors, for their part, are reportedly reluctant to include the 24-year-old shooting guard in a Love trade.) Unloading Shved's $3.3 million contract helps, but the Wolves would still be taking back about $2 million in salary for 2014-15 and clogging their cap with Lee's deal for 2015-16.PHOENIX SUNSTimberwolves acquire: Markieff Morris, Archie Goodwin, Channing Frye, Phoenix's 2014 first-round pick (No. 14), Washington's 2014 first-round pick (No. 18) and the Lakers' 2015 first-round pick (top-five protected)Suns acquire: Kevin LoveI doubt that Minnesota will find any of the players included here to be all that appealing as the basis of a trade for Love, but maybe a trove of draft picks might do. If the Wolves completed a deal with his framework, they would have the 13th, 14th and 18th picks in this year's draft. Those selections could become a haul of prospects to go along with Rubio and 2013 first-round picks Shabazz Muhammad and rising center Gorgui Dieng, or just as easily fuel subsequent moves to land more experienced players.MANNIX: Wiggins, Embiid, Parker lead post-lottery Mock DraftThe question is whether doing this kind of legwork is really worthwhile for two mid-first-round picks and a future first-rounder, in addition to whatever value the Wolves place on Morris, Goodwin and Frye. I suspect not, but if Phoenix opts to empty its coffers for Love, it also owns Indiana's 2014 first-round pick, Minnesota's 2015 first-rounder (with rolling protection) and intriguing big men Miles Plumlee and Alex Len.BOSTON CELTICSTimberwolves acquire: Jared Sullinger, Brandon Bass, Keith Bogans, Boston's 2014 first-round pick (No. 6) and Brooklyn's 2016 first-round pickCeltics acquire: Kevin Love and Alexey ShvedThis is essentially a variation of the Suns' trade, with a few minor differences. As constructed, this deal guarantees a mid-lottery pick in the way that a trade with the Suns would not. There are still no sure stars in that draft range, but talented players like Julius Randle and Marcus Smart should still be available at No. 6. Brooklyn's 2016 first-round pick could also turn out to be better than the Lakers' top-five-protected first-rounder in 2015. Kevin Garnett is 38, Paul Pierce could sign elsewhere this summer, Deron Williams has not impressed and Brook Lopez is a mammoth 7-footer with a worrisome injury history. It would not be a shock for the Nets to yield a lottery pick in 2016.On top of that, Bogans' $5.3 million salary can be cleared from the cap sheet without penalty, which -- after accounting for the difference in incoming and outgoing salary and the rookie-scale deal of the No. 6 pick -- would save Minnesota about $7 million. Those savings might seem abstract to fans who aren't responsible for the Wolves' finances, but they mean something for a team staring at a likely rebuild.More SI.com NBA playoff coverage2014 NBA playoffs schedule, results | Predictions: East finals | West finalsJENKINS: New NBA commissioner Adam Silver his own man (magazine)SI ROUNDTABLE: Will KD, Russ win a title? | Star that needs a fresh start?2014 NBA DRAFT: Mannix's post-lottery Mock Draft | Lottery winners, losersSTERLING COVERAGE: Why NBA won't allow Sterling's wife to control ClipsVIDEO: Conference clashes are polar opposites | Pacers can't afford to lose...DURANT: Watch emotional MVP speech | Appreciating greatness | SI coverPHOTOS: Greatest upsets | NBA playoffs fashion | LeBron's best playoff games Comments

This is the good life?
The Wall Street Journal ran an article last week about the deep
divisions running between old money and the nouveau riche in Palm
Beach, Fla. It seems that a rather flamboyant entrepreneur who donated
$750,000 to a particular cause was named chairman of the charity
ball that benefited that cause. Chagrinned that an upstart was put
in charge, the old-money crowd snubbed the event, attending instead
another charity ball that was deliberately scheduled on the same
night. The showy entrepreneur publicly declared his ball a great
success by comparing it favorably to the previous year's event:
This year's event raised $2 million vs. $1 million last year.
There's that comparison thing again -- how gauche!
The socialites in Palm Beach representing both old and new money
also keep score -- and have enough grist to keep the gossip mill
going until next year's event.
The trap of normal folks
The well-to-do may have their own petty grievances to deal with,
but they can take their minds off unpleasant situations by making
extravagant purchases of diamond necklaces without worrying too
much about how it might affect their budgets.
It is a problem when regular folks who earn modest salaries or
wages indulge in material things as though they have a limitless
supply of cash. Many just can't resist the latest new gadget or
fashion item and they keep spending nonstop until one day they find
themselves in too deep.
Revolving credit balances -- from credit cards issued
by retailers and banks -- have increased by nearly 108 percent over
the last 10 years, according to figures
from the Federal Reserve.
Research by Arthur Kennickell, a senior economist with the Federal
Reserve, shows how debt is distributed among the haves and have-nots
in America. In 2001, the richest 1 percent held 6 percent of the
nation's debt and 33 percent of its wealth. Meanwhile, Americans
in the bottom 90 percent held 70 percent of the nation's debt and
30 percent of its wealth, according to a report in the Wall Street
The rich are different ...
The rich use debt strategically -- in a way that will generate more
money for themselves through investments, for example. Their strategies
might backfire, but they're in a better position to bail themselves
out if necessary. The average American uses debt to buy things that
he otherwise could not afford.
"Once upon a time, status was conferred upon people by their
class and birth," writes Rowley. "Nowadays, we tend to
use money to compete for rank. Immersed in a consumer culture of
mind-boggling choice, we define ourselves by style and aesthetics."
So rather than purchase a car for the purpose of transportation,
keeping in mind long-term financial goals, consumers may get seduced
into buying a status vehicle, a Lexus instead of a Toyota, as an
outward indicator of prosperity. It looks good in the driveway,
and is a real smooth ride.
The availability of credit has made it all too easy for Americans
to commit future earnings for stuff they may not really need today.
Barraged by advertisements for flashy cars and big-screen TVs and
loads of other consumer goods, we can lose sight of the difference
between our immediate desires (which are emotion-based) and our
long-term goals (which are values-driven). And all too often we
may feel the need to prove something, whether to ourselves or to
our imaginary competition, that we are worthy enough to get a certain
product at whim if that's what we want.
That tendency to try to satiate our hunger for immediate gratification
will result in happiness that is short-lived and could produce long-term
financial problems. Rowley implores us to look within and list those
things that are really important to us and align our financial goals
"If you want to be happy with your money, never measure your
financial achievements against anything except your own goals,"
she says. "We can banish envy by returning to values -- thinking
about what you really desire in your own life, and organizing your
financial house to get those things, or at least the most important
of them. Because when you get what you truly want, why would you
want what someone else has?"
Why, indeed?

Jessica Simpson Having Doubts About Marrying Eric Johnson?
Although Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson have been engaged for only four months, the fact that they haven't set a date yet is of serious concern to In Touch.
The mag recently ran a story that claimed Simpson was getting "cold feet" about marrying Johnson (which Gossip Cop debunked), and this week the tab is essentially repeating its tired, old story.
In Touch claims the pop star has put her nuptials "on hold" because she realizes her fiance "may not be the perfect husband."
How so?
"They are together all the time," says a so-called friend of the singer, who adds, "It's starting to get to her."
Uh, huh…
Also bothering Simpson is the former football pro's diet, says the mag.
Yes, his diet.
Simpson supposedly regrets that her vegan beau is becoming a meat-eater like her, says the same "friend," explaining, "Jessica was disappointed that he changed for her."
Because of these grave concerns, writes the mag, the "With You" singer is now "refusing to commit to a wedding date."
A source close to Simpson tells us she's "still very excited" about her engagement to Johnson.
Check out the hottest PHOTOS of the week!

Re: Car Mechanic (BMW and Mini)
I have had nothing but positive, honest expertise from H&B BMW on 4th Street in Berkeley (510-548-1515). I have been using their services for the last 10 years and they have only been thorough, precise, and honest for every problem I have ever brought to them. They have squeezed me in when I called with an 'emergency,' provided me with loaner cars free of charge, picked me up and dropped me off to work, and never failed to provide wonderful service repairing my car as needed at every visit. My cars were tuned to perfection, washed nicely and a complete explanation of services/labour explained to me. I would never go anywhere else with my BMWs (I have brought them 3 different cars: 318, 325, 330i over the years). Excellent, professional service and I cannot recomment them more highly!!!!! Would never go anywhere else!!!
Re: BMW maintenance/repair
I've owned two BMWs. My original car was no longer under warranty when I bought it, and I used H&B BMW in Berkeley, which I can recommend quite highly. They're very professional and do quality work.
The current car is new enough that I have to take it to a dealer for service (which is to say that my last experience with H&B was a few years ago, now). I've had very bad experiences with both Weatherford (in Berkeley) and Sonen (just across the Richmond Bridge). Weatherford in particular botched several repair jobs (in one case, after four tries that did not fix the problem---they even tried to charge me for the three failed attempts---I took the car to H&B who fixed it without difficulty. The part was simply installed incorrectly). Just last month, Sonen took three tries to fix an airbag light. anon

The ultimate goal is to select a cheerleader of the year.
We had 40 eligible young ladies in the competition, and you voted on your favorites. From the scores received, we have the top 32 of the group....
And this is where it gets fun. I used the scores to rank each of the 32, and established a head-to-head double elimination tournament for them to compete in.
For the first two weeks of the preseason, we'll look at the first grouping (8 cheer-offs; 16 cheerleaders), then in the second half, we'll look at the second grouping. From there, we'll have the "winner's bracket" and "loser's bracket."
I'll post the full brackets and their standings soon, but for now, all you have to do is decide which of two cheerleaders you prefer and one of them will move on.
Vote as often as you like at: http://bitchindave.com/cheer/cheer.asp

The UCLA Baseball team saw its season come to a close on Sunday afternoon as the Bruins dropped their series finale to Washington, 6-1, at Husky Ballpark in Seattle, Wash. UCLA finishes the season with a 25-30-1 overall record and a 12-18 record in Pac-12 play.
Jeff Brigham (7-3) earned the win for the Huskies, tossing seven innings and allowing one unearned run. Brigham surrendered four hits and two walks while striking out three as well. Sophomore Cody Poteet (3-5) took the loss for the Bruins, giving up six runs on five hits in 4.1 innings pitched.
Both pitchers controlled the game in the early going, with each allowing just two base runners through the first three innings. The Huskies then took the lead in the bottom of the fourth with three runs off of Poteet. With two outs and runners on first and second, Robert Pehl hit a grounder between that shortstop and third that looked to have a chance of getting through. Sophomore Trent Chatterton made a diving stop to prevent a run though, creating a bases loaded situation for Washington's Chris Baker with two outs. Poteet threw a wild pitch on the first pitch of the at-bat, allowing Brian Wolfe to score from third to give Washington the lead. Then with runners on second and third, Baker hit a double down the left field line to score the runners and make it 3-0, Huskies.
In the bottom of the fifth, Washington added three more runs to give itself a six-run lead. After Poteet hit Braden Bishop to lead off the inning and a sacrifice bunt by Andrew Ely moved Bishop up to second, Austin Rei hit a single up the middle to make the score 4-0 in favor of the Huskies. The next batter was Wolfe, who hit a two-run home run off of Poteet to increase the Husky lead to six.
UCLA got a run back in the top of the seventh starting when sophomore Justin Hazard led off with a single and moved to second on a throwing error by Baker at third. A sacrifice bunt by senior Pat Gallagher moved the runners up before Hazard came in to score on a RBI groundout by senior Aaron Weimer, making the score 6-1, Washington. That would be all the Bruins would get though as they failed to score in the final two innings, giving the Huskies a 6-1 victory.
Hazard led the Bruins at the plate, going 2-4 with a run scored. Chatterton provided two hits for UCLA as well while freshman Kort Peterson had UCLA's only other hit in the game.
Game Notes: Today's loss snapped UCLA's 19-game winning streak over Washington dating back to 2008…Max Schuh finished the regular season with a Pac-12 leading 37 relief appearances…Justin Hazard finished the three-game series by going 7-11 with three multi-hit games and four RBI…Hazard also extended his hitting streak to a career-high eight games…UCLA's pitchers hit five batters in today's game, matching a season-high…Shane Zeile threw out his Pac-12 leading 18th base stealer in today's game and finished the year with a team-high .324 batting average…Trent Chatterton finished the season with a team-leading .320 batting average in conference play...UCLA still earned its eighth consecutive series victory over Washington with its wins on Friday and Saturday.

One of the most absurd comic heroes to ever grace the funny pages was The Tick. This series embodied the absurd like no other so it came as no surprise that the character finally outgrew the page and came to life in animation as well as the short lived live-action TV series that starred Patrick Warburton, David Burke, Liz Vassey, and Nestor Barbonell. There has been a release of this series before, but has all but disappeared, but thanks to Mill Creek Entertainment it is making its return for fans to add to their collection.
There is a new protector of the weak and oppressed, the hilarious blue defender of goodness known as The Tick. Together with his sidekick Arthur and their friends the insatiable Batmanuel and the alluring Captain Liberty, these heroes will prove they are more than just big, dumb guys in silly-looking suits. This is one of those series that just wasn't handled properly upon its release by the network and never got the push it so deserved. It is cleverly written and works on every level, with Warburton brilliantly embodying the role of the Tick like only he could. They took the superhero story and ditched the action nonsense and lets the viewer just hang out with them in their daily lives that makes for some over the top ridiculous moments that work perfectly. The costuming is spot on with only a few tweaks here and there with some of the characters, but The Tick is perfection complete with antennas that seem to have a mind of their own adding another element to the character. Each episode is more ridiculous than the next, but with the absurd stupidity of the Tick paired with the average Joe of Arthur it works and never takes itself too seriously knowing exactly what it is.
This is a great fun series that is an acquired taste, but anyone that has ever been a fan of The Tick will no doubt love it. It's sad it never got the push or chance to succeed as there were so many more stories to tell and there had been talk of a movie that would be amazing. While there was only 9 episodes to enjoy, this is no doubt a collection that is a must have for any comic fans so grab your copy and face off against The Tick!

I would like to preface this comment by saying that until today, I have not read a single one of your previous entries; however, after reading this entry, I am sorry that I did not start a lot sooner.
It is so refreshing to read an introspective entry such as this one, even when this semester is rapidly coming to a close. It may sound cliche, but I have dreamed of coming to Spain practically my entire life, and now I am 4 days from returning home–it is all so surreal. And though I am certainly trying to make a conscious effort to embrace my last few days here in Madrid, as I have tried to do each and every day this semester, it is hard to do because exams are keeping me distracted, and I am truly excited to go back home. And though my distraction and excitement will probably not dissipate, I want to thank you for bringing me back down from the cloud that I am floating on right now–you helped me to remember to cherish these last remaining moments and, more importantly, those who God has so graciously blessed my life with, both here and back home.
Thank you for always finding that way to make me laugh, and for being one of my blessings.
What a beautiful blog! As a mom of a student abroad, it is great to hear of the real life connections. Congratulations on a successful experience and a lifetime of memories and friends.

Director Colin Tilley Exposes The Real Future In Video For "Honest"
Colin Tilley has had a busy year. In just the past few months, the California-based music video director has been behind the lens for videos from Yo Gotti, DJ Khaled, Nelly and Sean Kingston, but despite his stacked resume, one of his most recent collaborations has got him truly excited. This week, he wrapped shooting on the video for Future's new single, "Honest." With the visuals set to drop the coming weeks, Tilley hopped on the phone with XXL to give us a sneak peak of what to expect from the video.
"The video is definitely something special. It's probably one of my favorite videos I've shot in a little while," Tilley said. "We tried something completely different and a completely new style of cinematography. It kind of feels like you're in a foreign country the whole time… like you're watching a fashion film in another country." Expounding on the technical side of the shoot, Tilley explained, "I used a couple of different formats, as far as 16mm film and older lenses to give it a really classic vibe. You really just get to see the real Future, which I'm excited about. You really get to know him as a person and as an artist, all through this video."
Stay tuned for more news about the video, which will likely drop before the end of the month.
