The 100 Ugliest People in SportsMarch 28, 2012
The 100 Ugliest People in Sports
The sports world is stacked with world-class athletes, full-bellied coaches and obnoxious announcers.
But success isn't always synonymous with looks, and many of those who dominate their playing field will never be given a chance to electrify the modeling world, to say the least.
Whether they resemble an extraterrestrial being, a Jurassic Park inhabitant or a bowl of questionable pudding, these guys have yet to elude the comical exterior they have so eloquently fashioned during their illustrious time on Earth.
We're not here to judge or ridicule, but we are here to observe the most curious looking cats in sports...those who give most mirrors nightmares.
Here are the ugliest athletes in sports, with several other individuals tossed in for kicks.
Grab a helmet: we could experience some shattered glass.
100. Jay Cutler
We once believed quarterback Jay Cutler had to be an average looking guy, considering he graced the cover of famous magazine Michigan Avenue and had smoking hot actress Kristin Cavallari by his side.
That was until we noticed that his chins' chins had chins.
An occasional smile couldn't hurt either.
99. Hedo Turkoglu
What he lacks in average appearance, Hedo Turkoglu makes up for in three-point shooting.
But this creepy display leads us to believe it's "all part of the plan."
98. Bartolo Colon
There was a time when we believed Kenny Powers was made from the mold of New York enemy No. 1 John Rocker...that was until we saw Bartolo Colon up close.
He looks to be crafting some sort of intricate plan inside that large noggin as his chins multiply exponentially by the second.
97. Sione Pouha
We've also been intrigued by what's under the helmet of a ferocious nose tackle, underneath the slaughtering of opposing backs.
His smile is contagious, his eyes somehow friendly, but he's surely got a crazy side.
96. Gustavo Chacin
Amid ferocious shrieks and shattered glass is a crew guy looking to help out with pitcher Gustavo Chacin's photo shoot.
Yeah, let's dim the lights just a bit.
95. Richard Jefferson
A crafty veteran we can add to the E.T. phone home list, Richard Jefferson seems to be paging an alternate universe as we speak.
Now we know where Tim Burton got his idea for the enormous heads featured in Mars Attacks!
94. Nyjer Morgan
While he likes to refer to himself as Tony Plush, we prefer the moniker Field Mouse for outfielder Nyjer Morgan.
Scrappy and often obnoxious, Morgan can be seen scampering about Miller Park's diamond with a sense of entitlement that borders on insanity.
At least he's got a perfect set of shiny molars.
93. Marko Jaric
Few men wouldn't relinquish everything they own to go on one date with model Adriana Lima, but balling journeyman Marko Jaric has already put a ring on it.
Sure, he looks like a paranoid Stuart Little, but it's Jaric's free-moving eyes that have us curling our eyebrows.
They're always looking for a way to escape.
92. Kimbo Slice
A thick slice from the Rick Ross mold, street fighting extraordinaire Kimbo Slice is perhaps the most misunderstood martial artist in all of sports.
While he routinely appears to be an intimidating piece of muscle, he's unquestionably a loving, gentle soul deep down.
We can hear the echoes of Maybach music subtly in the background.
91. Robert Swift
Sure, he looks like Klitz from The Girl Next Door, but center Robert Swift evidently has a lot more to share with the world than a just an ironic last name (yeah, he's slow).
His wild-fire hair and melancholy stare give us plenty to question and a lot more to applaud.
90. John Lackey
Seemingly a combination between Ed Helms and steel-toothed Jaws from James Bond's The Spy Who Loved Me, pitcher John Lackey always looks ready for battle.
But the Red Sox might tell you he rarely shows up.
89. Rajon Rondo
There's a fine line between interesting and obscure, and Rajon Rondo seems to be leaning heavily towards strange.
His long fingers and tiny head are clearly more fit for a role in Men in Black.
88. Butterbean (Eric Esch)
Looking more like a questionable dessert than a former IBA Super-Heavyweight Champion, Butterbean is quite the anomaly.
With a combined record of 97 wins and 20 losses amid an illustrious MMA, boxing and wrestling career, it's clear most of his opponents were just as baffled...or hungry.
87. Eddy Curry
He may be a Tyrannosaurus Rex off the court, but on it he's just another high draft pick who didn't pan out.
One of the lazier prehistoric species to grace the Earth.
86. Aaron Harang
We're a bit surprised to not find Dodgers pitcher Aaron Harang either sitting next to a similarly-expressed Orangutan or chewing on a bright banana.
He must be too focused on climbing into the stands.
85. Anze Kopitar
There are few individuals who could have played the role of Joker better than Heath Ledger (R.I.P.), but we believe we've finally found the right man for the job.
Kings scoring threat Anze Kopitar soars past defenses with a cringing smile and plenty of hyena-like laughs.
The exploding hairdo is just for good measure.
84. Lorenzo Mata
Sure, he was an integral part of UCLA's Final Four runs in '06, '07 and '08, but that's not what has us remembering Lorenzo Mata.
His superfluous amount of wrist, arm and head bands often kept us wondering if he was trying to keep warm or cover up.
Either way, we could never forget his prehistoric display.
83. Eli Manning
While doofy, goofy and awkward are more fitting labels for star quarterback Eli Manning, we're ready to place him next to some of the most unfortunate individuals in sports because we know he can handle the pressure.
We're always intrigued by what's happening in that mind of his.
82. Pascal Leclaire
With a clueless-like look towards the ground, goalie Pascal Leclaire begins to remember the promise he once had when he was drafted as the eighth pick of the 2001 NHL Entry Draft.
But his lack of dental cohesion makes even Steve Buscemi cringe.
81. Steve Borthwick
We can already here the train whistle noise echoing loudly from this curious display.
English rugby man Steve Borthwick has future coach and constant road rage written all over him.
80. Channing Frye
Resembling an even lankier giraffe with a good jump shot, Channing Frye is always enjoying his environment.
Quite the neck indeed.
79. Luke Chadwick
Not only does he look like a disturbed Mr. Smithers, but English footballer Luke Chadwick doesn't seem to have any idea why he's on the field.
It's all part of his master plan to elude defenders. They never even see it coming.
78. Andrea Kremer
Piercing eyes forcing you to detail the truth...the ultimate form of torture.
While we're always intrigued by correspondent Andrea Kremer's NFL analysis on Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel, we'll never quite be ready for her striking focus.
77. Erik Spoelstra
Considering he's only 41 years old and looks like a helpless hamster, it's curious as to how Erik Spoelstra gets any of Miami's Big Three to listen.
If Elin Nordegren had gotten a free whack at Tiger Woods' face, she might have created a Spoelstrasaurus.
76. Chris Anderson
We honestly love the intricate tats, but Chris Anderson's melancholy expressions and exuberant finishes seem to detail Kid Rock following an overdose.
Not for one moment did we believe the moniker Birdman was a compliment.
75. D.J. Mbenga
We once were convinced he was Sloth from The Goonies, and all we wanted to hear was the loud utterance of, "Heyy youu guyyys".
But D.J. Mbenga's two rings are a bit more noteworthy.
74. Chris Arreola
Sure, he's the current WBC FECOMBOX Heavyweight Champion, but Chris Arreola's super heavyweight nose is what truly has us following his fights.
Well done, sir.
73. A.J. Hawk
At this point, we're honestly searching the cast and crew list to see if A.J. Hawk did indeed star in House of Wax.
But the smiley linebacker certainly has no trouble with the ladies, considering he married Brady Quinn's sexy sister.
Long hair never cares.
72. Robert Earnshaw
If we have forehead extraordinaire James Van Der Beek procreate with Megamind, the result would seemingly be Welsh footballer Robert Earnshaw.
71. Delonte West
While looking like the love child of Oprah Winfrey and Steven Tyler, NBA journeyman Delonte West has created quite the career for himself.
Especially with the King's mom.
70. Wayne Rooney
We'll never question Wayne Rooney's inner beauty, considering he secured the beautiful former columnist Coleen McLoughlin as his now-longtime wife.
However, when we count sheep tonight, his face will surely grace each ball of confused fluff.
69. Tayshaun Prince
An unfed version of Wiz Khalifa, small forward Tayshaun Prince seems a bit too skinny to function correctly.
We'd prefer to see him behind a rock, eerily screaming "My preciousssss".
68. Luis Scola
It's like freeing the beast every time Luis Scola comes on the floor, a fearless warrior off the court and a ferocious gorilla on it.
He'd fit right in as the leader of Germanic tribes at Vindobona, ready for battle against the Romans.
67. Curtis Painter
Tearing a page out of Jeff Spicoli's book, Curtis Painter is perhaps the most curious player in the NFL.
The long-haired backup seems destined for the shadows, yet his hair is fighting for a chance in the spotlight.
66. Omer Asik
Sure, he looks like Judge Reinhold, but it's Omer Asik's goofy demeanor that has us constantly smiling.
The Bulls are lucky to have such a creative presence on their bench.
65. The Ryan Brothers
There's something about this tandem that always keeps us smiling, always keeps us wanting more.
It's about time we put these legendary brothers on the same sideline, each one disguising the other. It's perfect.
The Chris Farley's of the NFL, Rob and Rex Ryan always present hard knock weirdness at its finest.
64. Kyle Orton
There's something about Kyle Orton's exterior that resembles a squealing pig, not in weight but rather in expression.
He has yet to find the proper hair style to compliment his quirky exterior.
63. Rob Machado
We'd like to call him Sideshow Bob from The Simpsons, but professional surfer Rob Machado is much more interesting.
Like his goofy foot placement, Machado has a curious flow about him that simultaneously engages and baffles us.
But, of course, in a good way.
62. Shelden Williams
Sure, he's got the biggest forehead known to mankind, but we respect Shelden Williams's classy approach on the hardwood and respectful nature off of it.
And we must commend his acquisition of WNBA bombshell Candace Parker.
Dominant stare.
61. Derek Holland
Sure, we can blame it on the mustache, but Derek Holland's constant look of bewilderment seems quite natural even without hairy facial distractions.
But after signing a five-year, $28.5 million deal almost a week ago, it's clear Holland has earned himself the last laugh.
60. Terdell Sands
Defensive tackles are rarely known for their boyish good looks, but Terdell Sands broke the mold when he reached the gridiron.
This braided gargantuan is quite the spectacle.
59. Brandan Wright
With perhaps the largest ears in NBA history, Brandan Wright continues to be revered more for his potential and hilarious exterior than he does his production.
Perhaps he hears footsteps when they're not even there...a constant battle.
58. Mark Henry
Some may call him sexy, others Barry White-esque, but we see Olympic champion powerlifter Mark Henry as quite the voluptuous bowl of pudding.
His intricate hairdo is just the extra whipped cream on top.
57. Isaac Sopoaga
We love this defensive end's versatility on the field, but we're inspired by his barbaric demeanor away from it.
His exotic and tribal flow never ceases to make us think he's ready to kill someone.
56. Samuel Dalembert
Like his free throw percentage (70 percent), Samuel Dalembert's looks aren't quite where we'd like them to be.
But playing alongside Luis Scola, it's curious as to how anyone scores on the Rockets interior defense.
55. Chris Johnson
Whether he's ready to become the next James Bond villain, or he's simply emulating rapper Paul Wall, tailback Chris Johnson has the grills to make any young fan run for cover.
But with his 4.24 40-time, few can elude the speedy back.
54. Scott Pollard
Scott Pollard has gone through plenty of phases throughout his career, the handlebar mustache perhaps the least ridiculous.
But he has yet to find an acceptable look.
53. Dirk Kuyt
Seemingly a well-fed version of Paris Hilton (and not in a good way), Dirk Kuyt makes every Kodak Moment memorable.
At least he's got a brilliant smile to distract the critics.
52. Lou Lamoriello
He's been with the Devils since '87, and for that we commend him, but Lou Lamoriello always has that look of despair, as if nothing ever goes right.
His turtle-esque neck is undoubtedly shadowed by confidence. In reality, everything always goes right.
51. Steve Blake
While he does scamper about the court with a feistiness that somehow can't be stopped, Lakers guard Steve Blake is just as much a Boston Terrier away from the court as he is on it.
Always fierce, always driven, always hungry.
50. Tiequan Zhang
The MMA world is clearly full of some creative looking fellows, but none more enthralling than Tiequan Zhang.
He can't possibly be called "The Mongolian Wolf" for his production.
It's the memorable game face.
49. Shaun White
He may look like an underfed piece of furniture left over from Woodstock, but snowboarding legend Shaun White is quite the talent.
As the Wendy's girl, that is.
48. Dmytro Chygrynskiy
While he clearly thinks his jersey is a bit more unpleasant, Dmytro Chygrynskiy can't possibly deny his own ridiculous strands.
A comb, or perhaps a pick, would be a start.
47. Tim Lincecum
Some might call this two-time Cy Young winner thrilling and intriguing, but we see Tim Lincecum simply as a brown-haired Shaun White.
Or perhaps an aged Mitch Kramer, if that hasn't been overplayed already.
46. Bastian Schweinsteiger
German midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger may resemble a tall glass of Hefeweizen (and we didn't believe that was possible), but he has perhaps the sexiest girlfriend to grace his team's stands in Sarah Brandner.
She must really love soccer.
45. Robert Gallery
Once seen as a can't-miss left tackle prospect out of Iowa, Robert Gallery took a while to find his groove on the Oakland front five.
But with his scruffy, angry and ruthless exterior, he's always looked more than the part.
44. Zab Judah
Boxer Zab Judah seems cut from the same mold as Def Jam co-founder Russell Simmons and not quite in a good way.
The obscure lack of balance keeps us taking a second look.
43. Atari Bigby
Few have dominated the art of scaring opponents like Chargers safety Atari Bigby.
And he never even needs to step on the field.
42. Greg Oden
He may have looked much better on the court than he did battling injuries on the bench, but Greg Oden has seemingly looked 50 years old since he was in first grade.
Perhaps the oldest 24-year-old ever to trample the surface of the Earth.
41. Keith Jardine
Rarely does a fighter look good during a brutal battle, but, on the other hand, this is Keith Jardine's typical morning mirror check.
The glamorous martial arts master has perfected the art of intimidation.
40. Shaun Goater
As his forehead claws to get away, all Bermudian footballer Shaun Goater can do is smile.
And we love him for that.
39. Dirk Nowitzki
Whether he looks like Shaggy from Scooby-Doo or one of the annoying cavemen from the Geico commercials is irrelevant: the man can ball.
But let's be serious, Dirk Nowitzki most resembles a barbaric Viking from the tenth century...and plays like one too.
38. David Poile
Something about David Poile makes us think he does more than act as the General Manager and Executive Vice President of the Nashville Predators.
He's got that cynical look that reeks of a judging nature...an angry uncle, perhaps.
37. Alexander Ovechkin
While tennis beauty Maria Kirilenko clearly wasn't scared off by her beau's huge gap and caveman-like exterior, we're a bit baffled as to why Alexander Ovechkin hasn't trimmed his rough edges a bit.
Because the NHL star can rap.
36. Taye Taiwo
Nigerian defender Taye Taiwo may have the best name in professional soccer, but it's his humorous expressions that have us intrigued.
While certainly extreme, this sight needs sharing.
35. John Clayton
We always find ourselves engulfed in NFL writer John Clayton's meticulous football analysis. We can't possibly deny that.
But with his lightbulb head and alien-like exterior, we often get lulled into a comfortable relaxation that demands concern.
It must all be part of his extraterrestrial takeover.
34. Paul Tito
Few approach the camera with as much enthusiasm as New Zealand rugby lock Paul Tito.
It's all about the fiery 'do.
33. Joshua Clottey
We've got the last member of the forehead man group, with Ghanian boxer Joshua Clottey providing the final star.
Like an angry ram, Clottey is not to be messed with.
32. Charles Barkley
Perhaps it's his lack of inner beauty that really earns Charles Barkley this glamorous spot, but it seems more like his obnoxious nature that keeps us losing our cool.
Just something about his face.
31. Radek Stepanek
While he seems to be numbingly incoherent in this shot, Radek Stepanek interestingly built a career off of colorful celebrations and echoing grunts.
Just as jaw-dropping and ridiculous in a photograph.
30. Andrei Kirilenko
After about two decades of being missing in action, it appears Ivan Drago is back, thinner and hipper than ever.
Box-head and disturbing smile intact, Russian baller Andrei Kirilenko is always eager to make history.
29. Jelena Jankovic
She may have a stunning curvature, but Serbian tennis icon Jelena Jankovic seems far above our species.
Seemingly a new breed, the former World No. 1 is slowly taking over the world one shot at a time.
28. Leo Cullen
The rugby world is full of artistic displays, some a bit more abstract than others.
Leo Cullen seems stuck on what that means.
27. The McQuistan Brothers
Pat and Paul McQuistan sure know how to rile a crowd, despite being offensive linemen.
One twin brother should suffice.
26. Steve Nash
Yeah, we're not quite sure what to think either, as we often are too frustrated with Steve Nash's feisty, yet effective performances on the hardwood to find a comparison.
Some believe he looks like Tom Petty, but we see him more as Jack Skeleton from The Nightmare Before Christmas, always deciding what door to chose.
25. Peter Crouch
How this starved buck-toothed footballer ever earned Abbey Clancy's love is beyond us, but we're not here to dissect Peter Crouch's love life.
Not really feeling the tooth-to-gum ratio though...too much gum.
24. Roy Nelson
23. Julio Jones
While it's his speed and sticky hands that have separated Julio Jones from eager defensive backs since his days as a Crimson Tide receiver, we believe his resemblance to the Predator is perhaps his most threatening trait.
Opponents never have a chance.
22. Tim Sylvia
Not really sure what to think here, except that this surely isn't human.
Although it's not like we ever thought former two-time UFC Heavyweight Champion Tim Sylvia was really all that normal.
Impressive? Certainly.
21. Adam Morrison
There was a time when many believed former Gonzaga star Adam Morrison was the second coming of Larry Bird.
While he failed mightily on the court, the mustache wonder of the world certainly surpassed the legend's looks, although not by much.
We'll never forget this man's ridiculous image.
20. Marshawn Lynch
Yeah, sorry, bud, we're choosing you.
Perhaps some occasional shaving, a hardcore facial and some age-defying face cream might change our minds about Marshawn Lynch, but it doesn't seem as if Beast Mode is ready to fade just yet.
On the other hand, nobody likes a pretty boy...so, well done, sir.
19. Ryo Chonan
Whether it's his disturbing smile or meticulous eyelids that really have us scratching our heads, we're sure fans are always intrigued by Ryo Chonan and his wild fights.
The MMA continues to change the pace.
18. Kenny Albert
As chin fights to merge with neck, we can fully appreciate Kenny Albert without his obnoxious tones and mundane detailing of games.
Marv Albert's son has a long way to go in matching his dad, and that starts with sculpting a proper neck line.
17. Zaza Pachulia
Without Billy Crystal next to him, this odd giant seems a bit confused.
Zaza Pachulia must have a lulling nature to him that gives opponents nightmares.
16. Carlos Tevez
On second thought, perhaps Argentine star footballer Carlos Tevez looks like a perfectly normal human being...from 230,000 years ago.
But his cave drawings were surely breathtaking.
15. Larry Bird
He's been around the professional hardwood since 1978, when the Boston Celtics chose him sixth overall in the draft.
And every moment of Larry Bird's presence has made us question his intentions.
14. Cris Collinsworth
As strange as he is on camera, former Bengals receiver Cris Collinsworth is that much more obscure in his comedic attempts.
He's quietly scraping the edge of horrific announcing, closely behind ol' Barkley.
13. Pau Gasol
We often have a difficult time discerning between two-time champion NBA star Pau Gasol and a gargantuan llama eagerly waiting for a handful of grass to chew on.
Time to grab that razor. We've seen the possibilities.
12. Daniel Carcillo
Sure, he's a stud, but it's winger Daniel Carcillo's proud aura that's got us thoroughly smiling.
Nobody has embraced such a free-flowing gap since Michael Strahan in '02.
11. Joakim Noah
His mother was Miss Sweden 1978 and his sister is a model, but that didn't stop Joakim Noah from becoming one of the most unfortunate looking dudes on the hardwood.
With his long hair, don't care attitude and ferocious nature, it seems the former Gator likes to embrace his wild ways.
10. Carles Puyol
Despite looking like a deformed Andy Sandberg, footballing extraordinaire Carles Puyol bagged himself sexy model Malena Costa.
But his hair has yet to find a comfort level.
9. Sam Cassell
Now that he's an assistant coach for the Wizards, we can once again honor Sam Cassell's cringing exterior.
Even his former trainer couldn't stifle a smile when stretching the E.T.-esque guard.
8. Ronaldinho
Like a wild horse, Brazilian footballer Ronaldinho must have 12 incisors at the front of his mouth and a constant need for grazing.
But the legendary two-time FIFA World Player of the Year has perhaps the strongest legs in the world of soccer and a nonstop motor like his common resemblance.
We'll always respect the graceful creature.
7. Chris Kaman
Whether his roots have shut down, or he is a thoroughly aged Will Ferrell, NBA mammoth Chris Kaman seems like he should be singing "Goodbye Horses" by Q Lazzarus instead of dunking basketballs.
But we'll always love the former Central Michigan star for his humble nature and promising shot.
6. Floyd Mayweather Sr.
Half predator, half carnivorous dromaeosaurid dinosaur, Floyd Mayweather Sr. is perhaps the scariest man on the planet.
And he's got the talkative nature to back it up and tell us why.
5. Anthony Davis
One quiet rip down the center of his forehead would quickly eliminate most of the beliefs that Kentucky star Anthony Davis is indeed related to Bert from Sesame Street.
But strange is always more intimidating. We still respect you, big guy.
4. Chris Bosh
For those who believe Dinosaurs are truly extinct, think again.
We're not yet convinced that lanky Heat forward Chris Bosh isn't a direct descendant of the dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaur that existed during the later part of the Cretaceous Period, about 75 million years ago.
Or rather, a Velociraptor.
3. Franck Ribery
We'd love to believe his great-grandfather was Quasimodo from The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, but Franck Ribery seems cut more from the mold of Igor from Young Frankenstein.
All he needs is a constantly-changing hump.
2. Evgeni Malkin
Sure, he looks like an even more confused Sylvester Stallone, but Penguins superstar Evgeni Malkin is (dare we say) perhaps the most lethal stick artist in Pittsburgh.
A young and energetic, yet thoroughly discombobulated, Rocky Balboa. We can't deny the resemblance.
1. Iain Dowie
During his playing days, footballer Iain Dowie seemed ready to star in The Hills Have Eyes or The Goonies, but he will always remain a historic presence on the field.
Now that he's working as a commentator for Sky Sports News, we can fully appreciate the Joan Miro masterpiece even more.

Why in the Hell Aren't You Watching The Exorcist?
At first, we were skeptical about The Exorcist TV series. But when we finally got a chance to watch it, we realized it's not a wan imitation of the movie—it's a wonderfully unsettling expansion of the movie's universe. If you're a horror fan and you're not tuning in, you're missing out.

So here I am. Asking my blog friends for a BIG favor. Next Saturday night, Young Boy, my sister & I are walking in the Light the Night Walk for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
When Young Boy was just age 5 (thru about age 8) he went to daycare with a little guy named Nick. They were always the best of buddies, going on fieldtrips and hanging out at the pool together. Even when they went on to (different) Kindergarten & grade school, they've remained friends and continued going to the same daycare after school until they were about 8.
Young Boy is 11 now, and Nick is 12. Two years ago, Nick was diagnosed with leukemia. After many long treatments, stays in the hospital and meds., this little guy is now in a healing mode. Although the word "remission" hasn't been used, everyone is hopeful that that's what this stage is.
Throughout this time, one thing has touched me immensely. Kids CARE about each other in amazing ways. Little people have BIG relationships.
Last year, our family walked in the Race for the Cure (we stayed up all night and it was a ball!) That's Young Boy and Nick up there in the photo.
This year, we'll be walking, along with Nick and his family, in his honor. We're also walking in honor of my gran'mom, Lorraine who had lymphoma until she passed away last year.
If you'd like to donate (even just a little bit...we're asking for $2. from each of our friends), here's our page.
Thanks for listening to my plea...and thanks for considering!

Your journal entry is very timely for me: I went to a church service this weekend and the sermon was about the importance of everyone sharing the load...how every little bit helps.
My father-in-law has Leukemia; a dear cousin is a Lymphoma survivor, so thanks for giving me the opportunity to throw something in the pot, Tami. You're a good girl.
Have fun on your walk!

Sylvia and The Dark Prince
Reads: 258 | Likes: 0 | Shelves: 0 | Comments: 0
Short Story by: AnnaFantasy
The moon was full of light at its peak, and Sylvia lie awake staring at the pocked ceiling. She was anxious for sleep, yet frightened. For the past two months she had been dreaming of a distant world, one that she clung to and prayed to see again. Fae of good and evil, wise elves, magical craggy trees, abandoned castles, illusive water nymphs and whispers of a dark prince became inspirations to art. Living in a house surrounded by woods alone made her nervous at night now, since the dreams recently took a darker turn. In this new world she began seeing dark figures with glowing eyes always just escaping her view, and wolves watching her in the distance howling at the moon when darkness fell.
Sleep finally came, and Sylvia dreamt again of this place only on this night, it called for her. She saw the path within her own woods that lead her to a hole in the side of a large hill. When she peered in to see a light at the end, a deep voice called her name and she was shaken awake with fear. She had only been asleep for half an hour. Energy filled her and she sprung from her bed. She ran down the steps and out the door knowing exactly where to go. The dogs bellowed and barked, confused by her odd behavior.
Into the woods she ran, following her well work path. The dogs were barely audible now and Sylvia relied solely on the light of the full summer moon. The path was hard to follow, in fact nonexistent. She was following land marks now for she had only seen this hill once before. A screech owl called to another in the distance and frogs chirped with the crickets. Finally coming to the place she warily approached the opening. Fear and excitement washed over her, making her mouth dry and fingertips numb. This was the escape she had always prayed for.
Sylvia burst forth to the other side, brushing off spider webs and twigs. She was amazed by what she saw. The sky was in its evening colors and the moon was in its early ascent to the sky. Large twisted trees stretched far and tall with lush leafy plumes and strong branches. The ground was smooth with soft vegetation and large boulders covered in moss. A soft tug to the strap of her gown made Sylvia turn around to a small glowing fairy, smiling at her with wide green eyes.
"I see you have decided to join us, fair girl. Please, tell me your business here." Sylvia smiled at how the fairy sounded scripted. In her dreams, they barely spoke.
"I have dreamt of this place many nights, and in my dreams I was shown how to get here." The fairy tilted her head in confusion. Then, as if remembering something, she grinned.
"I know where you must go. Please, follow me." Before Sylvia could ask, the fairy flew high and away, making Sylvia run to keep up. She was quickly winded from running before, but pressed on trying to keep from losing sight of the fairy. After what felt like an hour, she found the fairy in front of an open field. She hadn't realized how much darker it was now, and bent over to catch her breath. "I can take you no further, but you can see from here where to go. That castle by the lake, I know it looks ominous, but trust me. This is where you must be." She flew away laughing, and Sylvia stood alone staring at the immense fortress.
She came up to a large wooden door with black cast iron hinges and a raven crest in the center. First she knocked and waited, then again a little louder. Anxiety filled her as she began thinking that the fairy had tricked her, that she could have been evil.
The door opened and a ghoulish girl stood looking past Sylvia. Her golden hair was tangled, face pale and grey eyes that were empty and glazed over. Sylvia stepped back in horror but the girl grabbed her and with amazing strength pulled her through the door and slammed it shut.
"Stop, stop please!" She pleaded, but she was being pulled by the arm through many rooms filled with lush furniture, brocade and wraithlike animal mounts. Across a vast room filled with weapons and armor, a 20 foot tall door opened to a long deep blue carpet, adorned with a silver pattern, led to a tall chair in which a cloaked figure sat. Two great grey wolves lay on either side of the chair, and more ghoulish people surrounded them. After a long moment, the girl let go of Sylvia and stepped back. Sylvia stood staring in shock at this figure which stood and started towards her. Tall narrow stained glass windows and candles lined the wall, and the same fabric pattern on the carpet appeared in the long curtains which hung draped from the ceiling and drawn at either side of the wall.
"I will leave and never return, never speak of this place if you let me go." Sylvia boldly stated. The figure only moved closer. She tried to back away, but the hands of the ghoul girl pressed her
forward again. It was right in front of her now, and in a deep resonating voice the tall figure said
"You answered to my call quickly, I didn't expect that." He reached up and pulled back the hood. Sylvia gasped and pressed harder against the hands of the ghoul.
"Let me go." Sylvia was peering into solid white eyes laced with blackness; pale skin, long raven hair and curved horns on either side of his head. He smiled.
"In time you will see that I am no monster, and born of no evil." Sylvia was convinced by now that she was in a dream. "I will take care of you here, Sylvia."
"How do you know my name?" He took a step back, still smiling.
"Soon enough." He turned away and both of her arms were grabbed by the monsters around her. She let out a screech and fought back, but she was swept away and quickly taken up winding steps where she was tossed to the floor of a tower and locked in. Sylvia slammed herself against the door and screamed;
"You wicked demon! You can't keep me here forever do you hear me?" She slid to the floor and turned to the wide gothic arched window. Red curtains fluttered in the soft breeze. Though tears fell, she couldn't feel the sorrow through the disbelief. The room was large with a bed and vanity, large dresser and another door that was open to a bathroom. It was undeniably lovely and whimsical. After a while, a shimmer caught her eye outside in the night sky. She walked over to the window and as it drew near her it became clear that a fairy was headed her way.
"No! You aren't welcome here!" This fairy had blue eyes and dark wavy hair, like Sylvia.
"Hush! I'm here to help."
"Like hell you are."
"I'm a good fairy, Sylvia, smell me."
"Smell you? What? And how do you know my name?" Sylvia was becoming shaken with the stress.
"I smell like honeysuckle, don't I?" Sylvia raised a brow, and did indeed smell honeysuckle. "Good fairies smell of honeysuckle… and can bypass the Prince's fairy repellent. Did that other fairy not stop at the edge of the woods? He planted flowers that keep bad fairies from being able to get anywhere near here."
"Alright… why would you want to help me, though?"
"Sylvia, every being has a job that they are nothing without. It balances things. Fairies are known for being bad here because we have a special curse; all fairies, good or bad, must do his or her own job when the opportunity presents its self or we turn to dust." Sylvia nodded slowly. The fairy flew into the room and stood on top of the dresser. "The reason why I knew your name is because you were in need of help, and I was presented with it. That other fairy may have known your name too, and led you here because it is a place of evil." Sylvia took a deep breath, and let it out slowly.
"I'm scared…" the fairy nodded. "Please, do you know anything about this prince?"
"I know very little facts; all I have heard has been rumored. There isn't much you would want to hear, it would only worry you and no one knows if it's even true. Either way, I know you want to go home. I have something for you." From a pouch she had on her back she produced a blue vial that was almost as big as she. "A piece of advice, never take a potion from a fairy that is any shade of red, orange or yellow. The reason why is because more than likely it has been made from a narcotic, or worse. If a fairy says she is good and gives you a red potion, don't use it… ever. Not even on someone else. Now this potion will temporarily put him to sleep if you drink it, but you must be in the same room as he is which will be tricky. Oh and another thing; good potions never go bad. If you receive one from a fairy you think is good and she tells you to use if before a certain time for example, before sundown or after the first rainfall, it's a trick. Potions can be good and only be useful in certain settings and situations, but will never have an expiration." Sylvia smiled and took it gently. "I wish we could talk more Sylvia, there isn't much good left in this land…" She trailed off and began fidgeting with the hem of her tiny dress nervously.
"Thank you. I seem to have no other choice but to trust you if I want leave." The fairy nodded and flew to the window.
"Don't worry, Sylvia. I know you can do it. I'll be waiting to show you the way back when you've done it." Quickly, the fairy disappeared. Sylvia lay back on the bed and stared at the vial. The blue liquid shimmered and smoldered against the flickering candle light, and Sylvia debated on whether or not she would use it. She couldn't bear the thought of killing him, or hurting him for that matter. Sylvia was known for being soft hearted, even when she had every reason not to be. It was one of her true downfalls.

Good thinking is good for you, and fortunately, you are just two steps away from being a better person. Research shows that the Biblical admonition to think on good and wholesome things is indeed good and wholesome for you. Unfortunately, secular research fails to direct people to the Bible for good and wholesome thoughts.
I say this is unfortunate because the nature of man is inclined to be sinful, naughty, negative, and selfish. Most recognize the value of being good, wholesome, positive and unselfish, but it is so much easier to yield to carnal impulses.
This conflict between good and evil, the proverbial devil on one shoulder and the angel on the other, is an unshakable human experience. It is unshakable because we are born this way. We are born with a sin nature and a conscience of knowing right from wrong. And everyone one of us must cope with the conflict between the two.
As we mature, the daily choices we make develop into a history of experiences that serve to chart our future choices. Choosing to yield to carnality and sin is a choice to develop poor character and a rotten disposition within. But overtime this becomes the feeling of normal, and the conflict within is minimized because the choice between the two has been made. It makes it more difficult to choose to do right.
On the other hand, consistently choosing to be good and wholesome leads to the development of character that serves you well in experiencing a happier and more satisfying life. Many people try to make the choices that they know are better for them. They teach their children to do likewise with the hope that their children will make better choices than they do. Why? Because they know that good and wholesome choices result in a better life.
The conflict between what we know and what we do results from the persistent battle between good and evil within. The self-voice within our heads that talk to us every moment of the day and narrates our dreams at night constantly nags at us and rehearses over and over again how to think about our life experiences. But this voice in your head is not a reliable moral compass.
The voice in your head needs two things that are essential to good and wholesome counsel. First, you need a nature change that only God can provide. That's right, you need a miraculous change of heart. You need something that you do not possess in yourself. You need a new nature. This means that you need to be born all over again! You need to be born of God. This new birth is a spiritual birth. It does not change your physical body, but it does change your spirit. And a new spirit born of God is the resource your inner voice needs. With a new spirit from God, the old nature of sin is countered. The battle between good and evil does not go away, but with a new nature, good choices are easier to make.
Second, you need to feed your inner voice with a diet of good thoughts. Philippians 4:8 from the KJV Bible says it best, "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." Your inner voice is your thought life. And as you feed your thoughts with good and wholesome instruction and stories, you will discover that your inner voice will become good and wholesome in its narrative.
Heed the counsel of the Bible, and you will discover a better life. Good thinking is good for you.

INDEPENDENCE, IA – Ben Lange, candidate for United States Congress in Iowa's 1st district, issued the following statement concerning the recent flooding of Lake Delhi:
First, I'd like to extend my sincere sympathy to the families whose property has been damaged by this unfortunate event. When the Delhi dam broke, my foremost concern was to ensure public safety, and I commended Governor Culver and Congressman Braley for the immediate steps they took to do the same.
Residents now face a new challenge: who should finance the repairs to the Delhi dam? I initially reserved judgment on whether I would support Rep. Braley's request for federal funding for the repairs until I had all the facts. Based on the facts as I now understand them, I believe the repairs will require the state and local governments, working in concert with the private sector, to fix the Delhi dam. Despite the political pressure to reach an alternative conclusion, I simply do not believe the federal government should be involved with this local issue because it is a privately-owned dam on a recreational lake.
I was dissapointed, but not surprised, to read Rep. Braley's statement yesterday, in which he said that we need to spend federal money to bailout a private entity now, and "then tough choices are going to have to be made." I respectfully disagree with the Congressman; our nation has reached a point where tough choices need to be made now. Rep. Braley's "spend first, think later" approach to this issue is exactly what is wrong with Congress as a whole, and the kind of thinking that has gotten this country into the fiscal mess we are in today.
Eastern Iowans need a representative in Congress who will make the tough choices first, who will put their long-term economic prosperity and job growth over easy, short-term quick fixes.
About Ben Lange
Ben Lange is a small business owner and native of Iowa's 1st district. He won the Republican Congressional primary by the largest margin in recent history, and his campaign to stand up for fiscal responsibility and common-sense solutions has attracted national attention. Ben resides in Independence with his wife Kelly and two young daughters, Addison and Emelia. To learn more about Ben Lange and his campaign, please visit www.langeforcongress.com.

Brits struck down by Zika in Florida with pregnant women told to axe Disney World trips
TWO Brits have caught the Zika virus with UK tourists being warned to avoid Florida as it continues to spread across the Americas.
Pregnant women are urged to cancel trips to the home of Disneyland to reduce the chance of catching the disease which can cause babies to be born with small heads.
Officials said: "Pregnant women should consider postponing non-essential travel to Florida."
The identity and condition of the two Britons with Zika is not yet known.
A report says they caught the virus in "cautionary" risk area of Miami-Dade County.
There is one square mile of Miami known as the Little River neighbourhood which is "high risk".
More than 1.5 million Brits visit the state every year.
The Foreign Office said: "Sporadic cases of local transmission have been reported in Palm Beach county, Broward county and Pinellas county."
The risk of catching Zika in these areas and the rest of Florida is "moderate".
"Our goal is to have no ongoing transmissions"Governor Rick Scott
Governor Rick Scott has vowed to eradicate the virus in the region, saying: "Our goal is to have no ongoing transmissions."
A Public Health England report published earlier this month says a total of 229 Brits have caught the disease since January.
They caught the bug mostly from trips to the Caribbean and South and Central America.
Zika, transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, has been sweeping though those regions since the epidemic began last year.
In February it was declared a global public health emergency and thousands of babies have been born with small heads since then.
Zika does not naturally occur in the UK.
The virus – which can cause microcephaly in newborns – has been reported in the Pacific region and spread to South and Central America, the Caribbean, and now Florida.
Experts predict it will spread to all countries in the Americas.
Risks of catching the virus can be reduced by using insect repellent and wearing loose clothing.
Transmission in Florida is believed to be confined to a small area around Miami, but mosquitoes can fly beyond those boundaries, and people move constantly, so it is possible the bug could spread to other parts of the US.
But the symptoms are benign and taking proper care against mosquito bites, such as wearing long sleeves, should protect you from infection.
Sleeping under a mosquito net can also help reduce your risk when travelling in affected areas.

Because I said so! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Yoga is not a sport, it's a workoutform. I feel that for it to be a sport would'nt you have to be able to compete in it, and well, How do you compete in yoga? Maybe if you could have a jury who judges how good you do the movements but then it would'nt be yoga becouse that's all about what YOU feel inside and not the jury!!!!
I think its a sport because you don't need to be competing for it to be a sport. Is includes physical work and lots of practice therefore it would be a sport because you benefit health wise from it which is all people say you need for it to be a sport.
I take Physical Development Health Practical Education otherwise known as PDHPE and we did an assessment on this subject and it includes flexibility and balance. These things are important because they fall under the two sports categories. Flexibility falls under the health related component and balance falls under the skill related component which makes YOGA a sport that is calming and relaxing. Saying yoga is not a sport because its too relaxing or too calm is like saying going to the pool to swim is not a sport because people swim and they find it soothing. So in other words a Year 8 girl has proved people out of school that yoga is classified as a sport.
People say because it is not a team activity or a constant movement, it is considered NOT a sport. But dancing, swim, fencing, karate,etc. Are not usually team sports, therefore yoga is. Yoga is a very difficult activity that most people have trouble with, but enjoy. It is also an international activity. There is also competition in yoga, which is needed as a sport, such as, heat yoga and oher competitions. If "video gaming", "toe wresting", and "pig racing" are sports, then yoga should also be a sport.
Yoga is a physical activity,it's some sort of stretching and it burns calories.You need to make an effort to do it and it includes sweat.It is good for both mental activity and the physical one.It's somehow related to gymnastics.And I suggest you to try yoga because it's really goid for the soul and it can be really useful
Most people think Yoga is not a sport because it isn't competitive but if you think about tit pole dancing and modeling are a sport because those are competitive but people that are contortionists compete but yoga is more than half of what contortionists do so take that America. Yoga is a sport because you put your mind to it and you need mental and physical training to do it. You practice it like other sports and you train to your body can't go anymore. Anyone ever heard of heat yoga. People go in rooms that are like 100 degrees and do yoga and the last one standing in the room wins. So if that isn't competitive enough for you then I don't know what is.
Yoga is a form of exercise and all exercise is a form of sport so therefore yoga is a sport. Yoga encourages you to become healthier and is, or can be very challenging, but just because it is a non violent sport does not mean it does not count as a sport.
:"Have an element of competition"
There does appear to be something called 'competitive yoga'.
:"Be in no way harmful to any living creature"
I don't participate in it, but it doesn't appear to be any more harmful than rugby or American football.
:"Not rely on equipment provided by a single supplier (excluding proprietary games such as arena football)"
I doubt it. There isn't much equipment that you really need for yoga.
:"Not rely on any "luck" element specifically designed into the sport"
Not as far as I know.
I do yoga for free now. Yoga places shall be free. Theres no need to pay for yoga classes. Why do you have to pay for yoga each time? I didn't want to pay for yoga due to us being poor. I go to yoga almost 25.5 miles away from my home for free. Sometimes i take day offs of yoga just for emergencies or other activities that i do.
In all sports athletes have to work their back side off to be succesfull. Like football, gymnastics, water polo and every other olympic sport. Yoga does not need the mental strength that most sports DO need. A person can do yoga at any age, but you can only do sport with sharp wits about ones self.
Q w e r t y u i o p a s d f g h j k l z c v b n m m n b v c x z l k j h g f d s a p o i u y t r e w q
Yoga is not a sport, it's a workoutform. I feel that for it to be a sport would'nt you have to be able to compete in it, and well, How do you compete in yoga? Maybe if you could have a jury who judges how good you do the movements but then it would'nt be yoga becouse that's all about what YOU feel inside and not the jury!!!!
Everyone can play a sport. Not everyone can do yoga. In order to do yoga, you have to be flexible and have good balance. Also, I like all sports so if this were a sport, then God would find a way to make sure that I somehow liked this sport called yoga.
It isn't a sport because you don't compete in it. You literally sit quietly and move your body into impossible positions. If it really is a sport could it be used in the olympic games? NO. The main idea of sport is to compete, the definition even says so. So NO.
And for gay people who will say it is a sport because they are the ones doing it. Though doing it can be a little deceiving. Sometimes they sit for half an hour and try to think about a Japanese three real hard and than they say yeah well I feel tired, do you feel tired Marco? And he says: yeah I feel sooooo tired babe, it's a sport.
To be considered a sport there must be some form of competition, which yoga has none of. There must also be a way to "win" which again, yoga has none of. Although it is laboring on the body, it has most of the key traits that sports need to be sports. That is why yoga is more of a type of exercise than a sport.
Is "an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment.". Yoga involves an incredible amount of skill which is why I think so many people voted yes but just because it's physically challenging does not make it a sport. Going to the gym is not a sport and like yoga it takes physical and mental dedication.
Yoga is a constant training of your body but is not a competition, although there can be competitive yoga that alone does not make it a sport. There are hot dog eating contests but eating a hot dog is not a sport.
Because for example soccer you are constantly running and doing something. In yoga you do one trick or stance and hold it. Yes you need to be flexible but it does not contain many components that a regular sport would need. Therefore from whats above Yoga is not a sport
Most serious practitioners will agree that yoga is not a sport, it's a way of life. If yoga is a sport, it is one of the few sports that you get better at, the longer you practice it and the older you get. It can best be described as a fitness lifestyle, one that builds the connection between your body, mind and spirit.

The crew was flying a visual approach to Runway 08 at Isle of Man Airport. The aircraft descended below the notional glide path while it was still some distance from the runway. The investigation concluded that the aircraft was descended at an inappropriate point, causing it to fly well below the notional glide path for the runway in use and into conflict with terrain. The crew's response to the subsequent EGPWS was delayed and not in accordance with their company's instructions.

Wine writer Tim James recently conducted a poll to establish a top 20 list of wine producers in South Africa as he has done on an occasional basis since 2001. 29 local and international wine professionals were consulted and the results are available here.
My nominations were as follows:
Five best wineries
Mullineux Family Wines
Sadie Family Wines
Tokara (in the final list but outside the top five)
Next 15
Cape Point Vineyards
Chamonix (5th in overall top five)
Delaire Graff
De Trafford
Hamilton Russell Vineyards
Klein Constantia
Newton Johnson Vineyards
Paul Cluver
Rustenberg (not in the final list)
Stark-Condé (not in the final list)
In summary, 18 of my nominations in the final list (84 put forward altogether), the two wineries I didn't back being AA Badenhorst Family Wines and Reyneke Wines.
I would have included Rustenberg as well Christian…fabulous history and their wines continue to impress (some).
I am not really sure what the criteria is or should be in choosing the top? Wineries?? Is it winemaker or wine/s…depth or breadth or both? Newbie vs veteran. It's almost easier to choose a top wine because the criteria can be more narrowly defined.
I have no issue with the names on the list…it's more about those left off! So many to mention. Of course there needs to be winners in any comp, but the concept of choosing a "winery" is a very broad one IMHO.

I know this has been discussed in the past, but who does a particularly good buffet for T-day? We have some old friends coming into town, and some of them want the traditional Thanksgiving meal, and others just want a good buffet. I'm assuming that most of the buffets will include a Thanksgiving spread -- please correct me if I'm wrong. Preferably something mid-range, i.e., better than Palace Station, but not as fancy as Wynn. Something like Mirage, Paris, or M., maybe?
I've looked around the web but can't seem to find the usual compilation of Thanksgiving options for this year. TIA.

Fall 2001 Newsletter: Potato Power
Publish date: Jun 22, 2009
|Share with others:
Every potato is a power-pack brimming with God's goodness. In theory, we could survive on only potatoes, supplemented with the occasional leafy greens for chlorophyll.
Potatoes are Packed with Vitamins
Potatoes contain Vitamins C, B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3, and B6 (pyridoxine). The recommended daily amount of Vitamin C is found in 14 oz of potato.
The vitamin content is at its peak at harvest time, and decreases during storage. More vitamins disappear during cooking. Potatoes boiled in their skins and large baked potatoes lose about 20-40% of their vitamin C alone, while French fries and roast potatoes lose about 30-40% and peeled, boiled potatoes lose as much as 30-50%.
Potatoes Contain High-grade Protein
The quality of protein we consume matters more than the quantity. Potato protein is an ideal blend of essential amino acids.
Potatoes are Rich in Minerals
The high potassium content of potatoes makes them an ideal way to offset the surplus acid found as meat and dairy products. Many people suffer from iron and magnesium deficiencies—particularly those who are pregnant or very active in sports. Those who eat potatoes regularly have no need to take iron or magnesium supplements.
Potatoes are Low in Calories
Many people would be surprise to learn that 3.5 oz of boiled potatoes contain only about 80 calories.
Potatoes Contain Complex Carbohydrates
Some believe that carbohydrates lead to excess weight. However, complex carbohydrates such as starch and fiber are the body's most important source of energy.
During digestion, starch is converted to energy and stored in the liver and muscles. Fiber is a vital aid to digestion. Fiber-rich foods stay in the system only half as long as those with little fiber.
Potatoes are Very Low in Fat
The fat content of potatoes is less than 1%. This tiny quantity includes "good" essential fatty acids. Potatoes are a great aid in losing excess pounds without feeling that you are starving yourself. However, be careful not to add too much fat from other sources when preparing and serving them.
Potatoes are Disease Fighters
Those with diabetes must have a steady supply of complex carbohydrates, but not in excessive quantities to avoid creating too much sugar in the blood. On a potato diet, diabetics can lose weight without any harmful side effects.
Gout is mainly caused by consuming too much meat and animal fat. One of the symptoms is the overproduction of uric acid. The most important part of treatment is a diet low in this acid. Potatoes contain very little uric acid and therefore can be the main ingredient in an anti-gout diet.
Kidney Problems
To avoid having to resort to dialysis, people whose kidneys fail to excrete products must eat little protein, which must also be of high quality. Because of their high-grade protein, potatoes are good for kidney patients.
Potatoes are excellent for urinary tract infection as well, because they alkalize the mucous membranes to force bacteria to be passed out the urine.
High Blood Pressure
When certain bodily functions are disturbed, the kidneys excrete insufficient sodium, which leads to raised blood pressure or hypertension. Sufferers are prescribed an extremely low-sodium diet. This means eating foods naturally low in sodium and avoiding or restricting the use of salt in their preparation. Potatoes are the perfect low-sodium food. Just remember not to cover them in salt!
Celiac Disease
While doctors say there is no cure for this grain intolerance, sufferers find potatoes easy to take, and make them a dietary mainstay.
Potatoes as a Home Remedy
Potatoes can be used in dozens of cases of sickness or injury. Here are a few proven easy-to-follow home remedies:
Diarrhea Eat unsalted potatoes mashed with water.
Indigestion Eat potatoes raw, about ½ cup.
Heartburn and Gas Drink freshly squeezed potato juice first thing in the morning.
Ulcers Drink one quart of potato juice throughout the day, after meals.
Sore Throat Make a compress by placing hot, mashed, unpeeled, boiled potatoes in a linen or cotton cloth, and then apply to affected area.
Burns Apply cold, crushed, raw potato in the area. If not cold, mix with ice.
Boils Make a poultice of raw potatoes; apply and change every eight hours.
Constipation Eat unpeeled boiled potatoes or drink the juice to soothe inflamed tissue and provide bulk to the stool.
Colds and Flu Fast from all processed foods. Eat boiled potatoes with carrots, onions, celery, and parsley.i

The U.S. Army All-American Challenge brought together 30 Noncommissioned Officers, 102 High School All-American football players, and 125 All-American marching band members at the Lone Star Pavilion, located at Sunset Station in San Antonio. The night began with a welcoming introduction by Mark Davis, Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army – Director of the Army Marketing Research Group. He then awarded five noncommissioned officers honorary tokens of gratitude for their hard work and dedication for participating in the 2017 U.S. Army All-American Bowl Selection Tour. 2017 U.S. Army All-Americans Shaun Wade and Tate Martell were presented with the 2017 ALL-USA Defensive and Offensive Player of the Year awards, respectively.
ALL-USA Defensive and Offensive Players of the year – DB Shaun Wade, QB Tate Martell
After the pre-event pageantry, the Challenge began. Participants were selected to represent two teams, each comprised of players, marching band members and soldier mentors. The first challenge consisted of each team doing as many push-ups within one minute. The intensity was high as each individual pushed their muscles to their limits and exhausted their energy. The East team took the early lead going into round two. The second event was the sit-up competition. Once again, the East came out victorious under the performances of running back D'Andre Swift and drum major Aryanna Nijjar, who combined for more than 85 sit-ups.
East tight end Cole Kmet pushes himself surrounded by the encouragement of Army soldier mentors
To wrap up the U.S. Army All-American Challenge, the East and the West geared up for the hot dog eating contest. As the contest came to a close, the winner was clear. The East took wins in all three events, giving them an undefeated record at the U.S. Army All-American Challenge.
As the competition cooled down, participants and viewers gathered around to grab some delicious food and drinks. All-American football players, marching band members and Army soldier mentors gathered together to share stories, laughs, and create memories that they will remember for a lifetime.
Watch the 2017 U.S. Army All-American Bowl presented by American Family Insurance on Saturday, January 7, 2017 at 12:00 p.m. CST live on NBC.

Problems after shoulder surgery one year ago
Patient : I am 33 yo male, I had anterior shoulder stabilisation on my right shoulder approximately one year ago - following a series of dislocations. Whilst I had no problems in the first 3-4 months following surgery I've noticed a slow deterioration in the joint in recent months, specifically that it feels less stable. not as bad a prior to surgery but similar, and tell-tale scratchy pain and slight muscle tightness indicating, to me atleast, that it's not snug in the socket. I've generally avoided over-loading the joint with the exception of push-up style exercises on occasion which may of iniated the problem. Since I realised I've avoided such things but the problems persist and even appears to be getting slowly worse. My question is what do you think I should do, if anything, as I'm guessing more surgery is unlikely unless It becomes a bigger issue. Would strengthening exercises be able to stabilise it or should it I just continue regardless and hope the issue settles.
Doctor : Sometimes the repeated subluxations or luxations of the shoulder deteriorate severely the capsule and ligaments of the j oint, causing chronic pain and instability that may persist after the surgery and some patients may be end up in having another operation to correct the persistent problems. Actually, there are many studies that have shown the increased likelihood of traumatic shoulder arthritis in patients with multiple shoulder dislocations. Yes, of course a Rehabilitation program after surgery is needed to control pain, limitation and regain full function. So, for now try to avoid movements and activities that can potentially cause pain and dislocation and work out to strengthen the muscles of your shoulders.

Spring seems to be here at last. Time to get out again...fulfill the wanderlust. I want to do all the hikes from the book Small Green Circles by Jean Aron. Sampada and I are thinking of getting new bicycles. Looking forward to a few good trips in India too... want to see the Narmada, Mandu, Ujjain. Will be going to Konkan again... This summers wandering objectives:
- Whitewater rafting in New River gorge (My wife couldn't come last time)
- Biking (atleast make the Black Moshannon loop)
- Hikes from "Small Green Circles"
(c) 1999 Jean Aron
In fresh and green of careless youth
we squandered salad days.
Exploring every turn of time,
we wandered countless ways.
We roamed in widening circles then
in endless forests green,
So filled with life, we failed to note
the bending of the stream.
Come walk with me in circles now,
between the trees, my friend.
All paths return to start again;
green circles have no end.
