An Adam Taggart brace handed Newcastle Jets their finest win of the A-League season, a 2-1 victory over Brisbane Roar at Hunter Stadium on Sunday.
The Roar led 1-0 after a dominant first-half performance and a 39th minute goal through Luke Brattan.
But in driving rain on a sodden field the home side finished by far the stronger with 51st and 74th minute goals to Taggart in the round six fixture.
The scoreline could have been even greater in the Jets' favour but Nathan Burns missed a 63rd minute penalty after a Jade North handball.
But Taggart made no mistake, after Burns threaded a delightful through ball to him to create the equaliser, and then again after a James Donachie error at the back allowed him the time and space to fire home a left footed winner.
Despite the chilly atrocious conditions, Taggart ripped off his shirt in jubilation after putting Newcastle ahead to a raucous reception from the small but hearty crowd of 7,692 fans.
The Jets' win, which was soured by a red card to Kew Jaliens for dissent in the 88th minute, means the Roar have surrendered top spot on the A-League ladder to Western Sydney Wanderers.
In conditions that deteriorated as the first half progressed, Newcastle, with former England striker Emile Heskey watching on as a substitute, could not manage a single shot on goal in the first 45 minutes in a worrying effort for coach Gary van Egmond.
Brisbane were on target only twice, the first came in the 31st minute when Scott Neville blocked a shot from Brattan.
The Roar made the most of their second chance when, moments after Brisbane goalkeeper Michael Theo had collected a cross from Jaliens, Brattan found the back of the net in 39th minute on the back of an error from Jets' gloveman Mark Birighitti.
Birighitti punched the ball straight into the path of Brattan just outside the box and he made no mistake to hammer the ball home and put the visitors ahead 1-0, a lead they enjoyed at halftime.
NEWCASTLE JETS 2 (Adam Taggart 51m, 74m) bt BRISBANE ROAR 1 (Luke Brattan 39m) at Hunter Stadium. Crowd: 7,692. Referee: Matthew Gillett.

BANCO Sabadell has bought the ailing CAM bank for a euro.
The largest 'rescue operation' in the financial services sector in Spain's history even greater than the colossal Banesto case in 1994 this is the first time a bank has been bought by a rival entity.
Catalunya-based Banco Sabadell was, itself, formed by the mergers of various banks, and will now increase in size overnight by 75 per cent.
However, the cost of 'repairing' the CAM's damaged finances will be around 5,249 million euros, paid by the Deposit Guarantee Fund.
This is funded by banks, building societies and cooperatives, which pay 0.2 per cent of the total of their customers' money held on deposit.
By paying out to get the CAM's head above water once again, the Deposit Guarantee Fund will become 100 per cent owners of the bank, after which it will pass it on to Banco Sabadell for the nominal sum of one euro.
This means the CAM bank's losses will be cancelled these stood at 1,730 million as at September this year.
According to sources from the Fund for Ordered Bank Restructuring (FROB), there will be no need for other entities to increase their contributions in order to pay the 'rescue fee' for the CAM bank.
The FROB says a similar process will be undertaken with the Banco de Valencia and the Catalunya-based bank, UNNIM.
Chief Executive Officer of the Banco Sabadell, Josep Oliu, does not believe the entity will suffer 'substantial additional risks' in taking on the CAM, since it is a bank which will have been 'previously repaired'.
The FROB is also confident that they will manage, given the Sabadell's experience so far after merging with the Urquijo and Atlántico.
This said, the CAM has a portfolio of up to 24,000 million potential bad debts, together with customers leaving in droves and a highly-demotivated workforce.

For this lab we added liquids together to create a fun foam! There were a couple of interesting points about this experiment…
Mixing the two liquids together caused a 'reaction'. We talked about how it isn't always the case that when you mix two things together a reaction occurs. The cause and effect of this experiment was lots of fun!
We made two colors of foam. By making yellow and red foam, we could also mix them and create another effect… a color change to orange!
When the foam was created, it was warm! The reaction is exothermic and a very small amount of heat was made as the foam was created. We compared and contrasted the difference in how the warm and cool foam felt.
As a fun side project, the foam created is just a very thick version of dish soap foam… so all of our tables in the classroom had a really good wash down that day! 🙂
Here are a few pictures of our fun….

Footprints in the Ash: The Explosive Story of Mount St. Helens
Footprints in the Ash
by John Morris and Steven A. Austin
128 page hardcover.
Retail Price: $16.99
The eruption of Mount St. Helens helps us to understand many processes that occurred during the Genesis Flood. These processes include rapid erosion and deposition of stratified sediments, including strata with fine laminations; the precursor sediments for coal; rapid canyon formation; the origin of "fossil forests;" and many others. This book contains abundant photographs and is written for the layman.
In the aftermath of the Mount St. Helens eruption and the subsequent glacier slide and mudflows, there remained a geologic gold mine for earth scientists. No natural disasters in recent history could compare with the variety of processes which resulted from this tectonic and volcanic event.
As creation scientists have carefully studied this geological phenomenon, they have concluded that Mount St. Helens accomplished the same sort of geologic work that biblical creationists attribute to Noah's flood. While this explosion was certainly much smaller in scale and intensity, many lessons were learned through this occurrence that help us understand the unobservable past.
Journey back to this catastrophic event with scientists Dr. Steve Austin and Dr. John Morris and see what was discovered as they reconstruct the sequence of earthquakes, eruptions, avalanches, mudflows, and other geologic processes and unveil their fascinating research findings!
• Discover how the eruption of Mount St. Helens helps to explain Noah's flood!
• A fascinating pictorial review of the 1980 volcanic eruption that shocked the world!
• Displays a visual outdoor laboratory with geological lessons
• Provides observable evidence for a young earth
• An encouraging teaching tool for biblical creationists
• Shows how God's creation adapted to this natural disaster through a recovered ecosystem
• Teaches proper insight on the subject of death and suffering

Cornelia Hahn Oberlander Wins 2015 Margolese National Design for Living Prize
Landscape architect Cornelia Hahn Oberlander has won the 2015 Margolese National Design for Living Prize for her impact on Canadian cities. The School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture at the University of British Columbia, who awards the annual $50,000 prize, chose Oberlander for her "breathtaking, poetic, unforgettable, charged with meaning, and above all, Modernist" designs that have made "outstanding contributions to the development or improvement of living environments for Canadians of all economic classes."
Winners Announced for Architecture for Humanity Vancouver's "NEXT BIG ONE" Competition
Architecture for Humanity Vancouver Chapter has unveiled the winners of "NEXT BIG ONE," an open call for design solutions to high-magnitude earthquake and tsunami events that plague cities around the world. Project teams were challenged to propose a solution that "can mitigate natural disasters while simultaneously providing community permanence."
A jury comprised of leading architects and professionals from Architecture Research Office (Stephen Cassell), Perkins + Will (Susan Gushe), Bing Thom Architects (Eileen Keenan), Scott & Scott Architects (David Scott), and the City of Vancouver (Doug Smith) evaluated the projects. Entries were evaluated based on three key criteria: the exemplification of innovation in disaster design, promotion of community resiliency before and after disasters, and compliance with multi-hazard parameters for worst-case disaster scenarios.
DjavadMowafaghian Centre for Brain Health / Stantec
Stantec's design for the DjavafMowafaghian Centre for Brain Health at UBC, in Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada is envisioned as a translational research facility defined by present and future medical practices that collaborate under research and patient care. To achieve this, designers considered the intersections within the spatial dynamics of the facility to coordinate interactions between researchers and clinicians. The facility is 134,500 square feet and includes exam / consultation rooms, lab benches, a full conference centre, a brain tissue and DNA bank of samples collected from consenting patients, and patient and animal MRI capabilities.
More after the break.
Video: UBC Centre for Interactive Research on Sustainability
The Centre for Interactive Research on Sustainability (CIRS) at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver is on track to open in the summer of 2011. CIRS aims to be the most innovative and high performance building in North America, a "living laboratory" where professors, students and partners demonstrate leading-edge research and develop sustainable design practices, products, systems and policies. The building will push the frontiers of sustainable construction materials and building techniques. It will draw much of its heat from the ground, electricity from the sun, ventilation from the wind, water from the rain–all while reducing the university's energy use and carbon footprint.

Durban - The last thing paramedic, Ceron Lennox, expected while at the scene of an accident in Durban was to have to deliver a baby.
But that's what happened just after midnight on Thursday, when she and a colleague went to the corner of Stephen Dlamini (Essenwood) and Sandile Thusi (Argyle) roads, where two bikers had been injured in an accident.
Lennox was in the ambulance when she heard an ear-piercing scream. It was not coming from one of the injured bikers though - it was the cry of a woman, Amanda Ngeleka, in labour.
Her husband (who did not want to be named) had run to the ambulance and explained to Lennox that his wife, sitting in his bakkie, was experiencing labour pains.
Rescue Care Paramedics spokesman, Garrith Jamieson, said on Sunday that Lennox had rushed over and confirmed the woman was in labour.
Because the bakkie seat could not recline, Lennox grabbed a spare mattress from the ambulance and placed it next to the bakkie.
"Lennox carefully delivered the baby, wrapped it in other sterile linen savers and a blanket that mom had," Jamieson said.
Mother and daughter were taken to King Dinuzulu (formerly King George V) Hospital and were discharged yesterday. The injured bikers, meanwhile, were treated by another paramedic and taken to a nearby hospital.
Lennox said yesterday she was glad to have assisted in the birth - and chuffed that Ngeleka had named her daughter Luthando Ceron Ngeleka.
"She named the child Luthando which means love in Zulu. Then she asked the meaning of my name, which is beloved.
"I was a bit ecstatic when she included my name."
The mother of three said that it was an incredible feeling bringing a healthy baby with no complications into the world.
"This is not the first time I (have) helped a woman give birth. I have been working in the emergency medical services for nine years and something like delivering a baby is incredible," she said.
"To see the joy on the father's face was amazing and gave me goose bumps.
"It's not often that we deliver a baby, so it's a special occasion," Lennox said.

Viking football breezes past Greyhounds
In front of a packed football stadium, the Vikings stomped Duluth East, 31-6, during the North Branch homecoming football game Sept. 27.
Sophomore Cole Pearson set the tone for the evening by recovering a forced fumble near midfield during the opening drive by Duluth East, putting North Branch in position to get its first score of many on the night.
Head coach Nick Nitti said the second win of the season couldn't have come at a better time.
"It was a nice win for the kids and for our program with all of the homecoming festivities taking place," Nitti said. "(The coaching staff) was a little concerned going into this week with the possibility of some distractions, but we told them to focus on doing their job. That job was winning the big game on Friday night, and we did that."
The Vikings put up the first score halfway through the first quarter when senior quarterback Tony Denn pushed his way into the end zone on a 1-yard run for an early 6-0 lead.
North Branch only picked up speed from there.
Sophomore Eli Choinard ran 5 yards for the squad's second touchdown a quarter later, then the Vikings marked another three points on the board after junior Trey Oday kicked a 29-yard field goal through the uprights three minutes later. Oday also kicked in the extra point following Choinard's score.
Choinard and Oday took charge of the scoring for the rest of the game.
Following the 17-0 lead at half time, North Branch extended its lead to 24-0 when Choinard returned a 52-yard kick for a 92-yard run and touchdown, followed by another Oday extra point. The duo combined for the final seven points just minutes into the fourth quarter off another rushing touchdown by Choinard.
It looked like a shutout for the North Branch defense until Duluth East scored with eight seconds remaining to put six points on the board.
Choinard led his team in rushing with 111 yards on 10 carries for three touchdowns, followed by junior Kodie Koolmo with 70 yards on 11 carries and senior Tony Denn with 50 yards on eight carries and one touchdown. Six Vikings earned rushing yardage for the host team.
On defense, North Branch's game plan included stopping Duluth East senior tail back Brian Lansing, who racks up most of the rushing yards for the Greyhounds. Lansing still put up impressive numbers with 134 yards on 24 carries, but the Vikings kept him from crossing the goal line.
"Their tail back (Lansing) is a big part of their offense, so we knew we needed to shut him down defensively and offensively, just see what their defense gave us," Nitti said.
The North Branch defense also forced four Greyhound turnovers, while giving up none.
The Vikings are now 2-3 and host Chisago Lakes at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 4.

I definitely know that atheists and the irreligious enjoy life unless they choose not to. I certainly do enjoy mine. In fact, I was only able to enjoy life after I said goodbye to religion. I was brought up in a home that was very rarely religious, with emphasis on schooling and knowledge, rather than belief. I didn't understand the value of such upbringing until I tried my hand at christianity for 7 long years from the age of about 14.
It all started when I changed schools to a christian school in a town far away from my home. The schools I have been to before were very much secular and didn't have any religious elements. However, this new school had a small daily prayer gathering in the hostel, led by students. Out of curiosity I asked my friend who attended it and he invited me. I went, and in the room I just followed what everyone does. I got a small new testament bible and became a regular at the meeting.
Soon I learnt that they also go to church on Sundays, and apparently the church is led by our correspondent (highest authority and owner of my school). I joined that too, and once even witnessed an immersion-based baptism (or something like that). There was also a larger weekly gathering in school which I attended, which gave us opportunities to "confess sins and repent".
Anyway I stayed in that school for 3 years, being as firm a christian as I can for a good part of the time. Then I shifted to another city. The hostel here was more religious as everyone staying, regardless of personal beliefs, have to attend church. My atheistic roommates and friends scorned how they had to put up with what they called "nonsense". I on the other hand was wondering how I can "save" them by the grace of "my lord jesus christ" since I was a quiet person and was afraid to talk to people who don't agree with me.
Recalling, I had been one of the top performers in the secular schools I studied. But once I changed my education to christian schools, my performance began to drop slowly. I'm still better than the average, but not the top. Apparently the atheistic friends I had would perform better than I ever could imagine myself performing.
Anyway 2 years in the school, I continued trying to be strong in my faith. Then about a year I stayed at home before going to a different country for further education. Problems were caused at home when I revealed my belief in jesus, as my mom is atheist and my dad pretty much is too (with occasional bursts of hindu faith). I desperately wanted them to see how much my faith meant to me and to see them accepting jesus as well. (How foolish I was back then).
After going to a different country, my faith began to get its knocks as I thought about how it's affecting my life. At first I found a church and attended it. I tried to pray whenever I can remember. Then I realised slowly that it's not worth being a christian. It's like being in chains.
Being a christian is like being in chains. The bible and the church is telling you that we are all sinners, committing sins everyday, so we must pray and ask jesus to cleanse our sins from our souls. I felt guilty of sin for almost everything. It's very usual for girls to wear revealing clothing in this country, but I would feel so guilty and ashamed to set my eyes on them even without intention, that I wish I was blind. Didn't jesus say that if you look at a woman with eyes of desire, you have already committed adultery with her?
I had the guilt of not doing things also. I would hate myself for not being a good christian, not doing daily prayers, not reading bible. I would scold myself that I can't talk to my friends about jesus and save them from hell. Though I had never physically hurt myself out of guilt of sin, I had been mentally torturing myself.
Slowly I realised that I'm in pain for the sake of my religion. I want to break free of the chains. So I decided to drop everything, to stop believing in jesus, in sin, in hell and all the christian stuff. I really felt free and able to enjoy my life. I read books that helped me better understand certain aspects of human psychology. I no longer felt guilty to look at girls dressed sexily. They do so because they want me to look! As long as I don't attempt anything wrong upon the girls, I'm not guilty of anything. (The girl example is just one of the several things I became free to do).
I didn't immediately let go of the belief that there is a god. It took me a while to go from theism to pantheism to agnosticism to atheism. But I don't call myself atheist. Buddhists are atheists too. I call myself irreligious because I refuse to subscribe to any religion or belief system. I only accept what reality really is. I have learnt that I could be wrong, and I should be ready to be corrected. I have learnt that science while it may not have all the answers, those that it provides is based on the observable reality around us and not on the words of a book.
Now I enjoy my life very much, a lot more than a religious person can ever imagine to. I am not restricted by anything except the law. Besides it, I set my own rules, but it doesn't mean I do whatever I want to do. An irreligious moral system is to be guided by consequences. I learnt that consequences are a better moral compass than a holy book. My actions have consequences, and I determine what I do with regards to the consequences it will bring. That's why I enjoy life.
Update (6-Sep-2011, 6:02 am): It has been more than a year since I originally wrote this post. While most of it continues to hold true, I now call myself an atheist and I'm not ashamed to be one. Being an atheist simply means to not have any belief in any form of "god" or gods. In that sense, I am an atheist, and denying that is not going to help me in any way. I continue to stand by my view that an irreligious or atheistic moral system is guided by the consequences and implications of my actions. An eternal reward/punishment system is not necessary to motivate me to be good, as I choose to be good for goodness' sake and to selflessly serve others.

Home > Community > Health Library > Vertigo: Walking Exercises
Walking is a simple but powerful exercise for
vertigo that can help your balance. Walking with
greater balance will allow you to function better on your own, which in turn
may lead to improved self-confidence. As you walk, you will also be working
your muscles, which helps you keep muscle tone and may increase your
Because you are moving, there is an increased risk of
falling. If possible, do your walking next to a wall with a handrail or in a
hall, or be sure to have someone with you.
If you are concerned about falling, always have someone with you.
Walk 5 steps and stop abruptly.
Wait 10 seconds or until any dizziness goes away. Repeat this until you have
walked about 50 ft (15 m).
Do this exercise twice. To chart your
progress, gradually work up to walking 100 ft (30 m).
Walk 5 steps, and then turn
around and walk back. Wait 10 seconds or until any dizziness goes away. Repeat
5 times.
Do this exercise twice. To chart your progress, gradually
work up to repeating the exercise 10 times.
When first starting this exercise, you will probably weave
considerably. Weaving less while doing the exercise is a sign of progress. This is a more difficult walking exercise, so consider having someone with you.
Do this exercise twice each day. To chart your
progress, gradually work up to walking 100 ft (30 m).

RYEDALE beauty spot Thornton-le-Dale has hit the international tourist scene, featuring on the front cover of an international travel magazine.
Britain, The Official Magazine, is the upmarket glossy produced by Visit Britain and promoted worldwide.
And the latest edition shows Thornton-le-Dale's best known scenic view, Beck Isle Cottages and stream.
John Garbutt, chairman of the village's group of traders, said: "We're over the moon that the village has got such high profile publicity."
He said the number of tourists had fallen in the past five years due to the recession and the price of fuel and added: "This promotion will be a real bonus for the village."
While not all the businesses are directly involved in the holiday industry, they are all inter-dependent on it, said John because if the hotels and shops do well there is a spin-off benefit for the traditional businesses such as builders and joiners.

"I've never been against it. You know, me and Dana, although we always go on a common front, we don't always agree on everything. The reality is, I'm a fan. I was captivated by the [Ronda Rousey vs. Miesha Tate] fight. [I was] blown away by their athleticism and the way they promoted the fight, the whole thing. To me, it was very, very entertaining. Dana is right. Historically there has been an issue with the depth of talent in the talent pool, but it seems to me like that is starting to change and the one argument I make when we talk about it, and this might sound a little self-serving, but we've never been in the women's game, so we've never had our matchmakers do this. Let Joe Silva and Sean Shelby develop a women's league. I guarantee you they can do it. They're that good."
UFC boss, Lorenzo Fertitta talked to mmafighting.com yesterday about the growth of women's MMA.
His partner in crime, Dana White, doesn't feel there is a place for females in the UFC, but could Fertitta be pulling rank here? Might we see females throw down on pay-per-view before it's all said and done?

"Opinions differ about Britain's racial problems. But the mentality which tries to solve them with coshes and broken railings has no place in the British way of life. This violence is evil, and the Law and public opinion must stamp it out."
Can you imagine these words being used on Sky News to describe the 41% soar in hate crimes after the Brexit referendum? No, neither can I.
But these were the words of a British Pathé newsreel in September 1958 to describe Notting Hill's week of riots. Pathé was a newsreel which was rated by the Board of British Film Censors, which played in cinemas the length and breadth of the United Kingdom, film theatres which were licensed and approved by local and parish councils. Along with the BBC, these were the words of authority in Britain of 1958. This wasn't dark muttering by Members of the Westminster and European Parliaments about "uprisings" if the voice of a mythic, forgotten white working class wasn't heeded.
It was a firm denunciation of aggressive intolerance, in impeccably enunciated English, and a Labour MP hadn't even been shot and murdered in cold blood by a white supremacist wingnut.

|Brief Summary
PBA is a neurologic condition that is estimated to impact over a million patients and their families in the United States. PBA occurs secondary to an otherwise unrelated neurologic disease or injury, and manifests as involuntary, frequent, and disruptive outbursts of crying and/or laughing. Progress has been made in better understanding this debilitating condition, but much more needs to be done. That's why a new PBA patient registry, PRISM (Pseudobulbar Affect RegIstry Series), has been initiated.
The goal of PRISM is to establish the prevalence and quality of life (QOL) impact of PBA in patients with underlying neurologic conditions including
Because this is an observational registry, it doesn't require you to intervene with any specific treatment or procedure. Your participation allows the PRISM registry to collect and analyze data from your site and also compare it to national numbers captured in the PRISM registry about PBA across all of the major at-risk neurologic populations.

Garmisch-Partenkirchen, one of Germany's leading winter resorts, is expecting around 30,000 spectators to congregate in the resort to watch its famous New Year's Ski Jump Jan. 1.
This annual event, one of the most famous ski jumping events in the world, has been taking place here for 60 years. It is broadcast worldwide and is actually the second jump of the Four Hills Tournament. Tickets are now on sale; available online or call +49-8821-798-273.
Another highlight of the new year is the Bavarian Hornschlitten - a traditional wooden sledging competition which takes place Jan. 6. The 1.2-kilometre 'High Path' leads from the Alpine hut Partnachalm down to the Hornschlitten Club Partenkirchen. Contestants speed down the slopes at more than 100 kilometres per hour - accidents are all part of the game.
Garmisch-Partenkirchen (700-2830m), 1.5 hour's drive from Munich, is probably the most popular resort in Germany. Three mountains are well connected offering 62 kilometres of pistes (42 slopes) for all levels. The main ski area is set on the Hausberg, Kreuzeck, and Osterfelder runs. The nearby ski area of Zugspitze has Germany's highest mountain (2962 m). The town of Garmisch is lined with 100 restaurants, 30 bars, and five discos. There are also plenty of shops to browse and even a casino.

Six Films Pregnant Women Should Never, Ever Watch
The demonic zombie baby from Peter Jackson's Dead Alive
Pregnancy can be one of the most emotional life experiences for a woman, so it's probably not the best time for an expecting mom to watch some gory horror flick -- especially one involving traumatic childbirth scenes or potentially demonic fetuses.
The debate of whether or not to watch gnarly horror flicks while pregnant is a familiar one for local cult film guru Andrea Beesley, who's both a longtime horror movie buff and an expectant mother.
The "Midnite Movie Mamacita" and fiancé Jeremiah Wilkerson are less than six weeks away from becoming parents, and she has a few words of movie wisdom to share with moms-to-be.
Beesley's spent plenty of time watching horror movies, and is getting ready to launch her new online horror film series, The Dr. Diabolic Show, where she and Wilkerson will recreate the b-movie programs that used to dominate UHF TV stations of yesteryear and show throwback slasher flicks on the Web.
6. Prometheus (2012)
Ridley Scott's quasi-prequel to Alien involves a plotline where (spoiler alert) protagonist Elizabeth Shaw somehow becomes impregnated with an otherworldly offspring and attempts to remove it, which Beesley describes as a "disturbing" scene to watch.
"She has this alien fetus inside her that kinda looks like an octopus or squid or something and has to abort it herself with the aid of a highly advanced robotic machine," she says. "It's quite ridiculous and over-the-top and traumatic. She gets all stapled up and has to kick ass after aborting this creature."
5. Dead Alive (1992)
Braindead clip 'Baby Kitchen'by Horrorant
Peter Jackson's comical cult horror flick (released in his native New Zealand asBraindead
) has been described as "one of the goriest films of all time." There's plenty of slapstick action to go along with the blood and guts, including the hijinks of a zombie infant running amok.
"Its like this demon thing that causes all this chaos," Beesley describes. "The heroine tries killing it with a blender but it flies out the window and hits some guy in the nuts. In the ending, the hero also gets sucked into the womb of his mother, who's become a huge zombie, and he has to break out her uterus." Needless to say, its a nutty film, which Beesley says isn't for everyone. "Its kind of hilarious and I can't be scared by that at all, but others might find it a bit too much."
4. Inside (2007)
While Beesley hasn't seen this French horror film, after watching the trailer and hearing about it from friends, she's pretty certain that it's something that most expectant mothers wouldn't want to see.
"I've just heard about how disturbing it is. Like, its really quite graphic. I remember seeing the trailer with these really sharp, pointy scissors," she says. "It's basically about a demented person chasing after a lady who is pregnant and wanting to cut out her fetus and take her baby."

More than 70,000 people have sickle cell disease and more than two million people carry the gene that allows them to pass it on to their children. For kids, sickle cell can mean pain, organ damage, even stroke.
For Monira, the only thing harder than living with sickle cell anemia, was finding out her daughter had it too.
"I feel bad," said Monira's daughter. "Well sometimes my leg hurts, my belly hurts, my back," she went on to say.
But just how much do you really know about the disease?
First up, when both parents have the trait what are the chances they'll have a baby with the sickle cell disease?
The answer: There's a 25 percent chance. However if one parent has sickle cell anemia and the other just has the trait, there is a 50 percent chance of having a baby with the disease.
Next is there more than one kind of sickle cell disease?
The answer is yes. There are several kinds, but these three are the most common. sickle cell anemia, hemoglobin c and beta thalassemia.
Can people who only have the trait have complications of the disease?
The answer is yes. People with the trait can experience symptoms during extreme conditions of high altitude, low oxygen, or increased pressure.
Another interesting fact: A child can get the disease even if both their parents don't have the sickle cell gene. In some cases only one parent passes on the sickle cell gene and the other passes on a gene for another type of anemia that combine and produce sickle cell disease.

THE impact of the Buckskin flooding crisis has prompted a Basingstoke dad to stand for election to the borough council.
Paul Bensilum, who lives with wife Nicola and six-year-old son Peter, in Exmoor Close, will run for the Liberal Democrats as a potential borough councillor for the Buckskin ward on May 22.
And the 42-year-old driving instructor credits the flooding crisis, which saw a total of 87 homes evacuated in Grampian Way, Exmoor Close, Bodmin Close, Antrim Close, Prescelley Close, Quantock, Sperrin Close and Holyrood Court after February 8, when the properties were hit by groundwater flooding, as the driving force behind his decision.
Although his three-bedroom bungalow wasn't breached by contaminated sewage water, the impact on Buckskin residents has inspired Paul to fight for the borough council seat against incumbent Conservative councillor Robert Taylor.
When asked why he is running, Paul told The Gazette: "Yes, it was the flooding and it was the fact that I lived through the middle of it.
"We (Buckskin residents) all got together as a group and said we need someone on the inside, and the only way to do that is to stand as a councillor. I have got 20 to 30 people helping me from the area, and not just from the flooded area of Buckskin."

Bissell Centre recovering from second fire
Public support needed more than ever
Saturday, Jul 19, 2014 06:00 am
Where to offer help?
� The original Thrift Shoppe at 8818 118 Avenue
� The Bissell Centre East Building at 10527 96 Street (on the south side of the building)
� Bissell Centre Southside at 5120 122 Street
Donations are accepted between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., from Monday to Saturday only, except the Southside location, which is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
There are also two community drop off locations at radio stations 95.7 CRUZ FM (5241 Calgary Trail, Suite 700) and Up 99.3 FM (9894 42 Avenue).
Online financial donations can be made at www.bissellcentre.org/donate/its-easy-and-simple.
By all accounts, it has not been a good year for the Bissell Centre. It was only about 10 months ago that a fire devastated the poverty-battling organization�s popular and well-renowned Thrift Shoppe on 118 Avenue, forcing it to relocate to a temporary location several blocks away.
A new fire at the temporary location late last month has once again devastated their stock of donated clothing and left staff wondering what untoward circumstances will befall them next.
�We definitely are seeing it as a strange coincidence,� concluded Devin Komarniski, the Bissell�s acting manager of marketing and communications.
He admitted that these have indeed been trying times but that the centre�s team is pretty good at picking up the pieces and brushing off the dust to get back on with business. When asked to describe people�s spirits, he said, �Optimistic � now.�
�We were in crisis mode. It was definitely hard, mostly on the staff that were displaced. Management and leadership had to come together in a flash. Everybody just came back in to tackle the issue. It got pretty tense � pretty intense. We�re through the thick of the crisis and now looking forward to the fall when we can hopefully re-enter our permanent location.�
The first fire in early September 2013 caused an estimated $650,000 in damage to the Thrift Shoppe located at 8818 118 Avenue. It was deemed to be accidental in nature, having started in the sorting area at the back of the store. As a result of the fire, all of the inventory had to be thrown out. Some staff members were laid off also.
The store was temporarily relocated to 11817 80 Street. On June 21, another fire started in the ceiling space on the north side of the building. It destroyed 100,000 articles of clothing and household items intended for homeless and low-income residents. The value of the damages was pegged at $950,000. The Bissell was only renting that space, however, so the value of the damaged goods was estimated at $350,000.
As the Bissell employees await the restored original Thrift Shoppe to open once again in the fall � more than a year after the initial fire � there is no current location for conscientious shoppers to purchase quality second-hand goods from the Bissell. That is, at least for the time being.
�That�s definitely difficult for us. That�s a huge loss in revenue. We still have staff to pay. We�re just in the process of reassigning them so we don�t have to lay off anybody,� he admitted.
Komarniski added that having a fire protection system in the store is �top of mind.�
�We don�t want this to happen again.�
There are now three sea containers that have been stationed as drop-off points for members of the public who want to continue to make their donations of quality second-hand goods. They are located at the original Thrift Shoppe, the Bissell Centre East Building (10527 96 Street on the south side of the building) and Bissell Centre Southside (5120 122 Street).
Donations are accepted between 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Monday to Saturday only, except the Southside location, which is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
There are also two community drop off locations at radio stations 95.7 CRUZ FM (5241 Calgary Trail, Suite 700) and Up 99.3 FM (9894 42 Avenue).
So far, approximately 25,000 articles of clothing have been accepted since the second fire.
�I am so grateful to the Edmonton community, individuals, businesses and organizations that have stepped forward to assist, and who recognize the value of the work we do to help those living in poverty and without a home,� stated Mark Holmgren, the CEO of the Bissell Centre.
The Thrift Shoppe normally brings in approximately $70,000 monthly. That money helps to support the Bissell Centre�s work to help approximately 6,000 people every month in areas including employment services, community supports, recreation and wellness, and victim services.
People can call 780-423-2285 or visit www.bissellcentre.org to keep updated on progress and learn other ways to help out the agency, including making online financial contributions as well. The website (and the Bissell�s Facebook page and its Twitter account) also feature updates about the recovery process.
A fundraising campaign called Restore Bissell is also expected to be launched within the next week to help bring in more financial support.

Dear Sandy,
Can you tell me if I am responsible for my girlfriend, Wendy, getting sick? I am wondering if she is doing this, on some level, to get back at me for something I did, am doing or maybe haven't done. Or is this just my imagination?
Edwin, Canoga Park
Dear Edwin,
I'm going to be blunt: you and Wendy mirror one another. You both are lost emotionally, and have tremendous fear. You feel you have no real purpose in life, and Wendy wants to depend on you for emotional support to make her feel safe in the world. You are looking for the same in her.
It is like two starving people looking at each other for food and sustenance to fuel and support their bodies but there isn't any to give. Getting sick is Wendy's wake-up call. You had nothing to do with her getting sick. She has not emotionally, physically or spiritually taken care of herself, nor does she know how. Wendy also needs to stop drinking, and get herself into a program. She needs to find herself, and, for her, that is not an easy task. She carries a lot of guilt, to which she continues to add. But more pressing, since you are the one contacting me, is that this reading really applies to you, too. You're fatigued because you're depressed, defeated and bored with life. It's one reason why you and Wendy feel you have no purpose—you don't like life! You should find something to sustain you. A program such as AA is a good way to begin. Just take the first step, and the rest will follow. Even if you do not want to go, or you are tired, push yourself to go anyway. Joining a program first will help. In fact, the best way to help Wendy is to take care of yourself.
Once you're involved in a program, your relationship will get better because you will feel better, be happier and have more to give. It is in the giving that you will receive because the two run hand in hand.
Best wishes to the two of you,
Sandy Smith
Dear Sandy,
Can you tell me why I'm not sleeping well? Last work week I averaged only three hours of sleep per night. For this week, through Wednesday, I've averaged one and a half hours of sleep! I'm not taking sleeping pills anymore because I don't want to be messed up when I get up in the morning for work—they hadn't been working anyway. I was taking up to six of them a night just to get some sleep. It doesn't matter if I work hard at my job or if I do nothing there… it's always the same. Night after night I lay awake in bed trying to fall asleep. The hours just keep passing, without the benefit of sleep.
Please help!
Andy, North Hollywood
I know I don't need to tell you that taking that many sleeping pills was dangerous. I'm happy to hear you changed that pattern on your own.
You are having difficulty sleeping because you're not happy, you're bored and you worry too much. Go out on your time off from work: go to the gym or do some physical exercise such as walking or biking, something to assist in releasing your stress. Exercising will help you to relax your body and your mind. You have a tendency to hold everything inside. The exercising will allow you to release pent-up negative energy, and feelings you are holding in your body. This negative energy can be from past situations or picked up daily from current experiences. Moving your body will release the negative energy, and increase your energy level, so you will have energy to go out, and do some of the things you should be doing.
Once you have built your energy level back up, look into an activity that will stimulate your mind in a positive way. You might consider taking a class or joining a group… or both! Your mind needs to stay busy with positive stimuli or, because it needs stimulation, it will create destructive thoughts to keep it busy. Taking a class and getting involved will keep your thoughts positive, make you feel good and help you with the boredom you are experiencing.
Finally, eat lighter before bed. I'm sensing that your body feels heavier at bedtime. If you eat lighter foods (fish, chicken, fruits vegetables) before you go to bed, your body will not have to work as hard to digest what you have eaten.
It is important that you achieve all three of the above: exercising your body, exercising your mind and taking up an activity as a positive outlet. This work will require discipline on your part, to shift your routine, to get the proper rest and to feel better, so you may become optimistic and enjoy your life.
Blessings to you,
Sandy Smith

The first of a monthly gig series at the newly re-opened Waldegrave Arms will kick-off with a performance from recently nominated Irish Radio Artist of the Month.
The pub in Waldegrave Road will hold the first gig on Saturday, October 13, where Adrian Duffy will play two sets of acoustic originals from this year's EPs.
Mr Duffy said: "I always get excited before gigs - be it Birmingham Symphony Hall or one of the big festivals, maybe even more so when it's just me solo acoustic - maybe that's more nerves than excitement.
"It should be a good crowd. Some family and friends from south west London and given the Waldegrave has just re-opened after a long absence it's great it's supporting live music."
The singer-songwriter delivers super-crafted folk pop songs that combine simple yet infectious melodies with an intimacy and storytelling flavour, reminiscent of Neil Young or the Eagles.
He has recently released a new EP Everytime the Love Strikes, which has just spent four weeks on Ireland's RTE Radio 1 playlist.
Mr Duffy says: "I have spent all my life in the music business but I'd say certainly the past 20 years professionally and out of the wings of my family who are almost all musicians.
"Let's hope people enjoy this new music night at the Waldegrave. I'll be performing songs from the recent EP's released this year and some takes on some interesting covers - maybe we'll even get a few folks up and dancing. I don't think it's a full moon so we'll be safe - I think."
The gig will start at 8.30pm on October 13 at the Waldegrave Arms, in Waldegrave Road, and is completely free.

"These cards are great - simple and elegant. They arrived super quickly and the customer service / designer that assisted us was fantastic. The process was smooth and effortless."
"The cards turned out beautifully! I was able to personalize the text so that it read both of our parents names, which was important to me. The colors matched out summer wedding perfectly. I am so pleased with them!"
"Our invitations turned out great and we were really impressed with how quickly they arrived. The paper (background) colour is a little darker than expected, so know that they are quite grey when they looked more white to us online."
"By far the cutest card Ive seen for a wedding. My colors are Tiffany Blue & Coral. These were perfect and I got them within 5 days. Can never go wrong with this website & design."
"I ordered a sample packet for this card. It's simply amazing. I cannot wait to order these for my wedding this summer! The paper quality is also awesome, I didn't upgrade paper and I had to go back and check if I did because it was so thick."

Shooting knee pain
I work out 3 times a week (running on a treadmill, swimming, and resistance work) and have recently begun to feel a shooting pain in my left knee. It started during running. The first few minutes are a struggle, but after I warm up the pain seems to subside. I feel moderate pain while doing lunges or other leg resistance work. However the shooting knee pain is now occurring during sleep or when my leg is elevated (say while resting my legs on an ottoman). During sleep I find it very painful to extend my leg fully without pain. If I do it slowly it lessens the pain. While sitting on a couch with my legs elevated, I find the same thing happening - cannot fully extend knee without significant pain. It seems most intense if I am extending my knee from an angle. (If I just straighten up and extend my knees directly in front of me the pain is less intense.) A few years ago I injured my knee while running a very steep hill. With rest and some resistance work I was able to heal and felt no pain in the knee for a few years. I don`t understand this current pain. It doesn`t seem to be related to an injury. Can you provide some guidance as to possible remedies. Will rest help? Thank you.
This pain may be due to one of several causes:
1)This may be an injury to the meniscus, or cartilage, within the knee joint. When you extend the knee, especially at an angle, there may be a small tear within the cartilage that is being caught or irritated.
2)Capsule tear. A tear of the joint capsule on the back of the knee can cause these symptoms, as it is stretched with extension of the knee
3)Tendinitis: The popliteus tendon wraps around the back of the knee and may be causing pain with this activity. Also, the hamstring muscles and calf muscles attach behind the knee and when stretched, can cause pain with knee extension.
A good physical exam will help to differentiate the cause of the pain, possibly with the help of diagnostic testing such as MRI.
I hope this helps.

Last week's National Institute for Animal Agriculture (NIAA) annual conference in Omaha focused on the "Precautionary Principle," examining how a bias toward extreme caution can hamper development of tools to improve agriculture and food production.
Mark Allen, PhD, director of marketing and genomics with TransOva Genetics described how assisted reproduction tools (ARTs), coupled with genomics, can accelerate the rate of genetic progress by two to eight times. Several of these tools already have contributed dramatically to genetic progress – artificial insemination (AI) since the 1950s, embryo transfer since the 1970s, in-vitro fertilization and cloning since the 1990s and sex-sorted semen since the early 2000s. Activists have resisted the implementation of ARTs, and that resistance has increased as new tools such as genetic engineering and gene editing become available.
Allen presented a formula for the rate of genetic gain, saying it equals (variation x accuracy x selection intensity) divided by the genetic interval. Accuracy and intensity of selection have increased significantly with the use of genomic predictions, AI, embryo transfer and sexed semen. In-vitro fertilization meanwhile, has reduced the genetic interval by allowing production of multiple calves per year from elite cows, and production of embryos from elite heifers as early as six months of age.
Allen says his company uses these technologies to qualify donor cattle using high-density genomic chips, collect ova from juvenile donors, conduct in-vitro fertilization using sexed semen and gestate all the resulting embryos in recipient animals.
The company also engages in cloning of elite beef and dairy cattle through its Viagen division. Cloning, Allen says, can provide a valuable alternative in multiple situations. These include:
- Greatly expand the reproductive potential of top animals.
- Keep up with demand for their semen, embryos and offspring.
- Preserve genes as insurance against unexpected injury or loss.
- Quickly improve quality and consistency within a herd.
- Expand marketing opportunities.
He cites an example of an outstanding Holstein bull with the pedigree and genomic numbers to serve as an elite AI stud. The bull, however, suffered from severe respiratory disease as a calf, which limited its performance. Its clone, however, sold over 100,000 units of semen into the dairy market.
Biotechnology applications in livestock also hold tremendous promise for food production and medicine, Allen says. Transchromosomic cows, for example, can be designed to produce human polyclonal antibodies. Pigs can be modified for use as medical models, speeding research into critical human diseases, and potentially producing human organs for transplant. Scientists have made progress toward introducing mastitis resistance in cattle, influenza resistance in swine and even BSE resistance in cattle. Much of the work, however, and commercial introduction of these technologies, has been slowed or stagnated due to an excess of caution on the part of activist groups and regulators.

The trouble with spoofing soap opera is that its dramatically deranged conventions - dead characters resurrected, hitherto unknown progeny claiming birthrights and bedrooms, characters metamorphosed into new actors - are already so absurd they are hard to send up any further. Soapdish, which has a good try, is neither as wacky as Soap nor as weird as Twin Peaks, and although it has already tickled American funny bones, British comic sensibilities are less likely to be engaged by this behind-the-scenes saga of daytime drama queen Celeste Talbert (Field), her ex-paramour and killed-off co-star redux Kevin Kline, or the schemings of randy producer Robert Downey Jr. and deeply throaty co-star Cathy Moriarty to rid themselves of the temperamental leading lady.
In the course of a plot that embraces every soap cliche from the shoulder padded superbitch to the love child revelation to the mysterious fatal illness, Field's shrieking hysterias and Kline's slapstick pratfalls acquire an air of desperation as the jokes get thinner and the farce more forced. Only Whoopi Goldberg as the show's writer seems to have sussed that the best way to play parody is straight, while the biggest unintentional laugh comes from TV producer and Pretty Woman director Garry Marshall's excruciating cameo as the network's daytime programming supremo. Not as funny as the real thing and unlikely to be anywhere near as successful as the leading real-life exponents of the art.

Whether they are on Facebook, Twitter, China's Sina Weibo, watching television or reading a magazine, prospective tourists from around the world will find there's "nothing like Australia".
Tourism Australia plans to spend a record $200 million promoting Australia to overseas travellers with publicity materials in 17 languages targeting 25 key markets this financial year, said outgoing managing director Andrew McEvoy.
The group will be hoping the campaign is better received than the less than successful "Where the bloody hell are you?" advertising blitz in 2006.
Under the Abbott government, which has placed tourism under the portfolio of Trade and Investment Minister
Tourism Australia had been spending about $8 million of its $142.5 million annual government funding allocation on promoting domestic travel to Australians, primarily to encourage families to take local rather than overseas holidays.
"We will take that money that we spent domestically and focus, and be even more powerful internationally," Mr McEvoy said on Friday. "So that is a good call and we're happy to oblige."
Mr McEvoy has announced plans to leave Tourism Australia at the end of the year to take up a new role with
Funds grown five-fold
Under the four years of Mr McEvoy's leadership, the funds available from airline and commercial partners has grown five-fold to $60 million and the media budget is now split about 50/50 between traditional media and social media versus an 80/20 split at the start.
Tourism Australia has 5 million "likes" on Facebook and received 620,000 applications for six promotional jobs paying $100,000 for six months for its "Best jobs in the world" campaign, in partnership with STA Travel and Virgin Australia.
During Mr McEvoy's tenure, Tourism Australia focused on meeting goals set out in its Tourism 2020 plan to increase overnight visitor spending to between $115 billion and $140 billion, up from a current $80 billion.
At the Australian Tourism Directions conference in Canberra last week, Tourism Research Australia said the nation is on track to meet the bottom end of its forecast.
Industry group Tourism & Transport Forum said that should be a "wake-up call" for the federal government to change policy settings such as streamlining visas, boosting funding and aviation access, and opening the working holidaymaker scheme to Asia.
But Mr McEvoy said he was pleased with the progress to date on the Tourism 2020 plan, given before it was instituted, Australia was on trend for $97 billion of spending in 2020.
'Quite amazing'
"We have had an $18 billion uptick in forecasts since we wrote the plan in 2010," he said. "So I think the work that is being done in the first four years is quite amazing. To be now at the base of the potential is really quite a significant achievement by the industry. Now we have six or seven years to run to achieve the next step, which is to try and get to the top [$140 billion]."
Mr McEvoy said China, which is expected to contribute $7 billion to $9 billion annually by 2020, had been outperforming expectations, and markets such as the United States and Britain had been performing strongly.
But he said Japan and Korea had been laggards. Mr McEvoy said the earthquake and tsunami in Japan in 2011 had affected outbound travel and the Korean market lacked enough aviation capacity to Australia.

Neighbours say a new supermarket has turned their street into "Oxford Circus, with more bedlam".
Tesco opened in Glengall Road, Edgware, five weeks ago, and ever since residents have reported traffic clogged streets, lack of parking spaces and incessant litter blowing into their front gardens.
They say shoppers regularly block their driveways because the eight-space car park is too narrow to manoeuvre and constantly filled with staff cars.
Grandmother Marion Smith, 77, said: "They also treat the road like a race track and come bombing up and down. It's unacceptable.
"It's bedlam in the mornings and during rush hour. There have been no accidents yet but lives are in danger unless something is done.
"The car park is small so that's why nobody wants to use it, when you reverse out you're taking your life into your own hands – so they think it fit to use our driveways to park across.
"The whole thing is an utter disgrace. It really has been unbearable for us"
Mrs Smith, who lives with her husband, Malcolm, claims they are woken up as early as 6am during the week by delivery vans – even though guidelines state this should not take place before 7am.
The couple are now considering moving amid fears the new shop has reduced the value of the house they have lived in for over 30 years.
Flats were also due to be built next to supermarket – but the couple claim building suddenly stopped five weeks ago, with no indication of whether the project is still going ahead.
Mr Smith said: "I don't understand why they needed the Tesco here in the first place, there are two others in walking distance. It's created chaos for no reason at all."
Mr and Mrs Smith are now calling on Barnet Borough Council to assess the problem and come up with a viable solution.
Although they are against yellow lines to control where people can park, their neighbour, Clive Burns, disagrees.
He told the Times Series: "Our lovely road has become something similar to Oxford Circus just with more bedlam.
"We need something that will stop this madness and I can't think of any other way. At least with yellow lines people will be deterred from blocking our drives.
"My driveway is also always filled with litter from old receipts to cigarettes and it's utterly disgusting. We want this whole mess sorted out."
A statement from Tesco said the team will ensure deliveries take place after 7am and before 6pm Monday to Friday, and from 9am to 1pm on the weekends.
It added: "We have spoken to our suppliers to underline that they must deliver within these agreed times and would like to apologise if this has not been the case.
"Due to the popularity of our store, we know some customers are struggling to find a parking space.
"Our team are working hard to ensure that the spaces are not being abused to make it easier for our customers to find spaces when they need them.
"We are proud to be part of the high street in Edgware and we believe we are encouraging more customers to shop locally rather than going further afield, helping other local businesses to grow."
Barnet Borough Council said anyone experiencing problems with motorists blocking driveway should contact the authority's enforcement line on 0203 375 4242 with the vehicle's details.

text: I have a customer that wants me to add a zone to their backyard. This is one of my first jobs as a licensed irrigator. I can not locate the valve boxes in the backyard where the new zone is to be installed. I purchased a Station Master Pro 24 this week and hoped I could use the chatter mode to locate the valves. Since I have never used the SM before I may be doing something wrong or maybe I misunderstood what the chatter mode is. I attached the clips to the common and the red wire for the valve I wanted to locate. After putting the SM in solenoid Activate mode I moved the switch to chatter. I expected to be able to walk to the area I suspect the valve should be and listen for the valve to chatter. I did not hear anything. I then did the same procedure with a valve that I knew the location of and again heard nothing, even with the valve cover off and standing right over it. Am I doing something wrong? Did I misunderstand what the chatter mode is? Thanks for the help. The valves are Hunter and the controller is Toro.

Thank you Margret for reminding us that Art is one of our most potent agencies in sparking the imagination in resistance to systematic dissolve and that Art which is reserved for escapistt purpose and profit always comes up short in feeding those most in need .

Hi there, I thought Jose Antonio was murdered on October 10th, not on the 8th?
Yet there are so-called "real Americans" alive today that would gladly see the Constitutionally guaranteed rights of Islamic-Americans limited, curtailed or eliminated because of the same racially-motivated fears based on ignorance and misdirected national patriotism.
I spent more than 20 years defending the United States from "all enemies, foreign and domestic", but more than that it was about upholding values and recognizing the reality that there are evil people in the world who would use any means necessary to secure and maintain power over others -- even if it meant harnessing the most base emotions, cloaking them in the American flag, and using them to destroy the America that I know and love from within.
I wish I could call FDR one of our greatest presidents for the good he did do, but nothing makes up for his legacy of this crime in our history.
Way to go Ryanhood. A local Tucson treasure.
I lived in the house of the son of one of celias attorneys a few years ago. I wrote a play and screenplay on Celia, and have done tons of research on the story. Someone in Hollywood owns the book rights, and they have been trying to produce it for years. My play is a fictional account from one of Jameson's daughters. I've always felt the story should be told broadly...wish I'd found d a bigger audience for mine.

Thank you for sharing this Hoss. So insightful, soulful....brilliant my dear friend.
I was wondering what life is like in Mexico, and you were able to explain your experience. It was interesting. I hope that someday I might travel there and see for myself. Thanks for shedding the light.
Dan, this was a great piece, intuitive and witty. You truly captured succinctly the Mexican psyche.

Hey Dan, that was a fun little read. I got the chance to be lead around the DF by my 15 year old son two summers ago. Was completely shocked that we saw so little white faces and when we did their accents were always European. We got the chance to drive down to Loredo, BCS from Phoenix this winter to see the Baja around the time when the gas jumped. Such a different place so close to home. Had no idea about your 2016 record which has me listening to it this fine morning. Take care.
I loved this show so much I am taking my teaching assistant as a thank you for her help in my classroom

There is so much hate in other comment threads here on the TW site; that alone makes our interactions golden. The Time Bandits are pleased that you have a sense of humor. Because of this, we will include a center stage view of President Lincoln's Gettysburg Address free of charge. But please, do yourself a favor and dress appropriately.
