This New Year, boldly go where you've never gone
Happy New Year! The promise of a new beginning is always galvanising. If you have something you'd like to accomplish in the next 12 months, I have good news for you. First of all, you're not who you think you are. See, our brains have a tendency to find consistency where very little actually exists.
Take memory, for example. How do you remember the past? How do you remember to have bad habits, or to hold on to past transgressions? We tend to think our brains record events like a video camera, and every time we want to remember something we simply play that stored recording back. Not true, say memory experts. When you think you're remembering a past event, what you're really recalling is the last time you thought about that event, not the event itself.
If memories are really carbon copies of carbon copies, that means that whatever you thought your limitations were, you might be wrong. Perhaps our only true limitation is the illusion of consistency. Do you think you know yourself like the back of your hand? Think again - you've never seen that hand before in your life.
That's because the molecules that make up you are constantly changing. Not a single particle remains of who you were one year ago. The body you have while you're reading this has never existed before today, and it never will again. You are new. Literally, and scientifically, you are entirely a new person in the universe and there's nothing much holding you back except the need for consistency and some learned behaviour.
You've also never been here before. The earth revolves around the sun at a dizzying speed of 67,000 miles per hour, and our entire solar system swirls around the galaxy at some 490,000mph. Our entire galaxy is hurtling through the universe at about 1,000mph per second. Like the Starship Enterprise, you too are boldly going where no person has ever gone before. Make up the rules of this strange new world as you go along. Have an exciting 2017.

Song for Awe & Dread Trailer (2015)
16 April 2015 Fantasy, Factual, Music 7 mins
Song for Awe & Dread is a contemporary take on the vanitas paintings of the 17th century and an investigation into the emotional duality of our existence. It is AWEsome to be human and to be alive, but the evolution of human intelligence has also burdened our species with a self-awareness of life's impermanence. The Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard called these two uniquely human emotions, awe and dread. Through its symbolic meditation on mortality, this work attempts to find meaning between the fleeting flavors of bubblegum and cultural programming that entrenches us in our denial of death.

Jesus Frickin Crist...I get one of these questions at least once every two weeks. It's like I have "Love to argue about stupid things" written on my face somewhere.
Argument always begins as "Do you believe in God" and then degenerates to me defending myself against the half-poetic guano-fountain that sounds like years of poorly funded brainwashing. The argument always ends with grudgingly agree to disagree. I always dream that if I had the hackers touch, I would go into their bank accounts and give all their money away to the poor and needy like Jesus would have done. Then I would hide in the bushes and laugh watching them go bat-**** crazy in a tirade that would have Mel Gibson and Christian Bale blogging about it.
I used to be religious mostly for the sake of the very, very spiritually and mentally strong, formidable, and amazing example of a human wonder that my grandmother is...and the fact that it was one of the first comic books I ever read. But then you go to school and get your brain turned on and, well, you know...
But is God even relevant anymore...really? He seems more like one of those retro topics you bring up when you remember the weird things that symbolized past ages like bell-bottoms, disco, and the horoscope. I'm pretty sure the church understands this and plans to come out with the exciting new and sleek version of iGod sometime around 2012 when the world ends. Even the horoscope is being replaced with a much more twenty-first century personality-dictating fascination called "humanmetrics" or "Psychological Type Profiles." If you want to find out who you are also, click below...you'll be amazed just how specific this general description of you is...just like the horoscope.
Really, God is such a boring topic. The only fun you get out of it is in arguing about it with someone else. Things get even more exciting when AK-47's and RPG's come into the picture like in the Middle East. Those guys know how to punctuate themselves.

Yankee Candle Petal Bowl Tart Burner
What is a Tart Burner?Yankee Candle Wax Tart Pot Pourri burners are easy to use.
24 reviews from the community
Review of "Yankee Candle Petal Bowl Tart Burner"
Rates not sticking Grr…!!
For as long as I can remember I have been a fan of scented candles, and before that I used to buy oils to burn to fragrance my home. I try to read as many new reviews on here as often as possible and time and time again the same brand name would keep popping up - Yankee. Though I have read many positive reviews about Yankee candles it was the wax tarts that appealed to me the most and I wondered what all the palaver was about. I liked the idea of these wax tarts from the reviews alone and knew that if I wanted to start using them I would need to get something adequate for burning them in, so when perusing Ebay in November last year I came across this - Petal Wax Burner in cream and though there were many different designs of wax burners available I was instantly drawn to this by it's pretty design.
The Petal Wax Burner is immediately eye catching with it's black frame and delicate looking petal holder and as mentioned I was drawn to this style as I thought it could be moved to a variety of rooms without looking out of place. The design is very aesthetically pleasing to the eye being made of a sturdy black metal frame and an equally sturdy ceramic style dish which sits on top of the framework. The framework itself, which is all in black, consists of a circular disc with four slightly rounded legs which curl inwards at the base and at the top all join together onto a hollow circle where the ceramic dish sits.
The ceramic dish is deep and plentiful being at least 1 and a 1/2 inch deep at the tallest point and quite capable of holding a full wax tart without any chance of spilling over (unless dropped or knocked). Whilst I opted for the cream bowl version of this, it is also available in a few other colours including Yellow, Green, Pink and Blue as well as of course as the Cream colour. I felt the cream version is not only the best colour to choose as it blends in with any decor but the other bowls had a slightly cheaper appearance to them in the other shades and just didn't have the air of class that the cream one does, which is really simply stunning.
*~*Price, packaging and availability*~*
I chose to buy this from the Yankee Store through Ebay where it cost me the grand sum of £4.99 inclusive of P&P which I deemed to be very reasonable for a branded product. Before looking I had imagined a product of this nature to be around the £10 mark so was pleasantly surprised that it could be bought brand new for under £5. Having searched around I have seen it can be picked up for a similar amount so I feel it is very good value for what is a very good quality product.
On ordering my wax burner I was pleased that it was sufficiently packed in a tight fitting sturdy cardboard box with plenty of bubble wrap surrounding the petal dish, and an equal amount also surrounded the metal framework. As this comes in two parts it is simple to build up and the dish simply sits on top of the framework so there was little in the line of assembling it once unpacked.
As mentioned I purchased this through an Ebay store though by simply typing 'Petal Wax Burner' into a search engine there are many places to order from and all seem to be around the £5 mark so availability wise there should be no problem picking one of these up.
*~*My experience of using the wax burner*~*
A school mum friend I knew had previously mentioned a discount Hallmark card shop not too far away from my home that sold the Yankee brand candles and wax tarts from as little as 50p each. I had never been in this shop before so when I did finally go I stocked up on quite a few different varieties of the wax tarts (mainly Christmas ones) to test out in my new burner when it arrived.
The wax tarts fit neatly when placed in the centre of the bowl and though I have started recently to just half each time I find that a full one has plenty of room so when it does start to melt there is no chance of it 'boiling over' so to speak.
I have found that the disc at the base is very straight and seems very sturdy when placed on a flat area as it doesn't rock about or look like it will easily knock over which is a consoling thought.
The petal dish is smooth and even both inside and out and feels almost polished even though the appearance is off a matte effect. Because of the smoothness, particularly inside the dish, when the wax tart has solidified it is easily removable by tipping the dish and tapping the underneath. On the odd occasion I have had to loosen it slightly by getting a sharp knife around the edges and this has left a slight waxy residue but it is easy to wipe away.
Because I use my burner on an almost daily basis I find that the base underneath of the dish can become tarnished with the heat of the tea lights but a quick gentle scrub with some soapy water soon brings this up looking like new again.
The wax burner generally resides in my kitchen, which is quite open plan anyway, and sits neatly on my tiled window sill where it not only looks attractive but it is central in my house meaning whichever tart I'm burning the fragrance is easily distributed throughout my cottage though I have moved this to both my bathroom and occasionally my living room where it has fit in perfectly and hasn't looked out of place in any of my rooms. I do still have an oil burner which is now resigned to occasional use though I don't think there is any reason why oil couldn't be used in this petal burner, as I haven't tried burning oils in it myself I cannot comment though I do think in the future I may be tempted to try as the deepness of the bowl would stop any splashes which I find to be a common and messy problem with my current oil burner.
I love my petal wax burner and am so happy I chose this design as it is lightweight, easy to clean and took seconds to assemble when I purchased it. There is a ridge underneath the bowl that sits neatly inside the metal framework giving even more peace of mind of it's stability when the wax tarts are burning and is just as easy to remove as it is to place in in the first instance.
The only slight negative I have, and I use 'slight' here very loosely, is the fact that it is quite difficult to place the tea light between the legs of the framework as though the look wide there isn't much room to place between to sit neatly in the middle - especially when lit. I have tried to place the lea light unlit in first and faff around with a lighter/ matches to light afterwards but it seems both ways are equally as tricky. It's not a major problem and certainly doesn't deter or restrict me from using this but I thought it was worth just mentioning.
Overall this is a lovely addition to my home that is worth every penny and I would purchase again in the future and would make an ideal gift to anyone starting out burning wax tarts.
Highly recommended by me.

Vengeance Road

Our horses' footsteps were the only sound to be heard throughout the desert. My name is Katie, and I'm accompanied by Jesse and Will. We're on a hunt for a mine, not for the gold, but for the people who want the gold. The Rose Riders. I've been mapping out and writing down everything that hasa happened so far. I've titled it "Vengeance Road." I believe you would really enjoy it once I'm finished. We've had a lot of crazy things happen to us, and I can't imagine what will happen to us on our way to the mine and back. I will definetly be happy to lend you the hournal once we return home.

Their names are Guillermo, Jude and Noah. Jude and Noah are twins, while Guillermo is the scultor. They all share this way of thining that makes the world seem so much brighter. I listen to them talk every day. Guillermo made me with his own two hands, a chisel, and a hammer. When he began, I was just a plain rock, almost taller than him. He's made many others like me, scattered througout the studeio. He makes us with memories in mind; we all tell a story. Just like the twins. It's an amazing adventure; one I've never seen before. I wish you could have a chance to come see them and learn their stories; it's truly amazing.

Philosophical life lessons are the greatest things, when you're dead. In my situation, when you're attached to the guy who has to learn them, you really get the opportunity for some introspection. You see, Eddie (the guy I'm stuck to), suffered a harsh life, and he learned that some of that was because of me; because of other people! If you are ever presented with the oppotunity to meet stiffs who mostly affected your life (whether you met them or not), then be prepared for some mind blowing stuff. For instance, you'll learn how I became such an influential cornerstone to Eddie's character.

We Know It Was You
By Maggie Thrash
I've never been popular or sort of a real interest at school, until something tragic happened. I've always been that real geeky kid who everyone makes fun of, but one day, I started a mystery club, and a girl, Virginia, actually got involved in it. I thought it was all a joke, until we actually had a mystery case to solve. One night at a football game, the mascot, which was supposed to be a well-liked, popular girl, threw itself over the bridge. Later Virginia and I started to investigate it and figured out it's a lot deeper than a popular girl and a mascot costume. We come across a lot of humiliartion, hypnosis, psychopaths, laws being crossed, and detectives through the whole mess of a story. Once we got further into this, we found out many people were greatly affected by only 1 person's materpiece of a skill. At the end of the book, we end up saving people's lives, getting closer to one another, and changing a whole lot of things around us in a positive way.

July: fabric in: 20-3/4 yards received as a gift + 5 yards purchased ($25) = 25-3/4
fabric out: 26-1/2 sewn, 23-1/8 sold = 49-5/8
January-July: fabric in: 80-7/8 yards ($275)
fabric out: 196-7/8 yards
net decrease: 116 yards
I finally advertised fabric on two online sales groups (Quilters Flea Market and Quilters Virtual Yard Sale). 23-1/8 yards sold!
Not only is my fabric stash smaller but so also is my quilt stash.
Cindy came to get the second batch of pillowcases I made for her daughter (as well as two dog bed covers that I'd sewn). She purchased three quilts, too -- Batik Rails and Choqua and Framed Four-Patch .
She gave me the leftover pillowcase fabric, too. (It weighed about 5 lbs, so I estimated just over 20 yards.)
The proceeds from this entrepreneurial flurry ($621) went right into my savings account, designated for a new sewing machine.
How do I determine the price on a quilt? It's what I think the customer will pay. I know I don't adequately compensate myself for my time and hardly for the materials. I don't sell quilts to earn a living. If I hadn't sold these they'd be given away to a community event, charitable project, or on a gift-giving occasion.
These are the quilts "on hand." Some have destinations (like the brown/green HeartStrings on top which is going to the Spelling Bee this fall); some have been in shows but were not purchased; three had some problems with fabric bleeding after they were washed. Every quilt has a story!

Only 4 weeks to wait until Percy Jackson: Sea Of Monsters is out in theaters. I know some of you guys... I mean the huge fans of the Percy Jackson series are super stoked: I certainly am (and I only read the first 2 of the books). So I understand the feeling of anticipation.
But is the movie going to stay true to the book? A lot of people (actually, the vast majority of people) were very disappointed with the 1st one, even (aka Percy) was shocked that they were making another movie. So will the Sea of Monsters movie stay true to the book, and not disappoint their fans? I'm hoping that it definitely will, because I would love to see a third film... and it would also hopefully give me time to read the third one.

Greetings All!
The Munchausen Society has been working hard in preparation for the Dark Side of the Con. As usual, we plan to put on a Charity Munchausen Show, and the charity we plan to raise money for is the PMA Bike Ride.
The PMA Bike Ride is a charity that bikes around the streets of Philadelphia with pizzas to feed the homeless.
Now usually, the PMA Bike ride operates as a monthly event, usually at the end of the month. The funds from DSOTC were going to fund the March 25th ride. However, Joe, the charity's founder, just announced an ambitious idea to do a full week of rides, and he wants to kick this effort off on Pi Day, March 14th (3.14). Seeing that this is prior to DSOTC, The Munchausen Society is starting our vote pre-sale now.
If you make a donation to The PMA Bike Ride any time before now and Dark Side of the Con, you will get that many coins to use to vote for your favorite contestant in Celebrity Munchausen. All you have to do is produce proof of your donation (make your gofundme donation public enough for us to see, or a screen shot or print out of the confirmation), and that will count as your purchase at the event. Not only will each dollar get you one coin and one vote, but with this charity, each dollar means one slice of pizza for the homeless.
The link to donate is here:
don't forget to leave a comment like "For the Baron!" to help us identify your donation in the list.
BTW, any performer is welcome to donate as well. Remember that the rule is that you have to give your coins to a representative in the audience who will decide how they get used.
Let's dig deep and help this good cause.

March's Charity: The PMA Bike Ride

The Munchausen Society Takes Care of its Own
Dear Friends and Fellow Adventurers,
It is a heavy heart that I must inform you all that a severe illness has befallen a member of The Munchausen Society. JR Whitcomb, aka Arson of Karnevil, needs surgery to remove a tumor on his neck. He has been a diligent contributor to our shows for years, and as such, he has helped to raise thousands for various charities. Now he is struggling to pay for the life saving surgery he desperately needs.
One of the many creeds that we live by in The Munchausen Society is that we take care of our own. It is in this spirit that I would like to reach out to the community for help. Please look to see what you can give. Any amount, no matter how small, adds up up in the long run.
Also, please share his gofundme page.:
The more attention it gets, the more people can give. Like I said, with enough people contributing, even the smallest amounts add up and matter.
Thank you all for your help on this.
With the utmost sincerity,
Dr. Zack of The Munchausen Society
Lehigh Valley Itz-A-Con
Greetings All!!!
The Munchausen Society is excited to announce that in less than 2 weeks, we will be going where no Munchausen has gone before!
What does that mean?
Quite simply, through the use of Quantum-temporal theory, the harnessing of otherworldly forces, and a well placed potato, we will be traveling to the 23rd century in order to host a story telling with the Klingon Crew of The IKV NasToj.
You can find the open temporal portal to take you to this show at the Itz-A-Con on Saturday, June 18th at 11:30 am.
The charity we will be raising money for is the Atlas Foundation for Autism. Since this charity has an online donation page, we will allow you to buy coins by making direct donations to the page as well as collecting the cash at the show.
The link for the Atlas foundation can be found here:
Steampunk World's Fair Charity Announcement
Greetings All!
I wanted to announce that this year at the Steampunk World's Fair, we will be raising money for The American Foundation For Suicide Prevention.
My brother does their Overnight Walk fundraiser every year That is him on the poster on the right), and we have decided to coordinate the donations through his fundraiser page.
The advantage of coordinating this way is that not only will attendees be able to use credit cards to buy their voting coins at the show, but people will also be able to pre-order voting coins. To use these features, you will need to include your real name with the donation you make and include the phrase "For the Baron!"Make sure that when you donate you don't opt to block the visibility of your donation.
The donation page will list all donations and you will have proof of the number of voting coins you purchased. As usually you will get one coin per dollar donated and every dollar we raise will go straight to the charity.
See you guys on Saturday (5/14) evening and we hope you enjoy the show!

Greeting Lords and Ladies,
We wanted to present to you a few videos from our show at this year's Steampunk World's Fair.
First, we have Professor Adam Smasher explaining the charity for which we were raising money this year.
Baron von Zipple told an interesting tale that raised a few eyebrows…

Civil War Leads to Franco's Rule and the Reestablishment of a Ceremonial Monarchy.
On July 18, 1936, a conservative army officer in Morocco, Francisco Franco Bahamonde, led a mutiny against the government. The civil war that followed lasted three years and cost the lives of nearly a million people. Franco was aided by Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany, while Soviet Russia helped the Loyalist side. Several hundred leftist Americans served in the Abraham Lincoln Brigade on the side of the republic. The war ended when Franco took Madrid on March 28, 1939. Franco became head of the state
Hazards of Bullfighting
Bullfighting is normally fatal for the bull, and it is dangerous for the matador. Picadors and banderilleros are sometimes gored, but this is not common. They are paid less because their job takes less skill and less courage. The suertes with the capote are risky, but it is the faena, in particular the estocada, that is the most dangerous. A matador of classical (Manolete) style is trained to divert the bull with the muleta but to come close to the right horn as he makes the fatal sword-thrust between the scapulae and through the aorta. At this moment, the danger to the matador is the greatest.
Some matadors have been gored many times. A special type of surgeon has developed, in Spain and elsewhere, to treat cornadas, or horn-wounds. The bullring normally has an infirmary with an operating room, reserved for the immediate treatment of matadors with cornadas.
The bullring has a chapel where a matador can pray before the corrida and where a priest can be found in case an emergency sacrament of extreme unction (also known as Anointing of the Sickor Last Rites) is needed.

Singer is charged with drugs driving in smash
SINGER George Michael was yesterday charged with driving under the influence of drugs after he smashed his car into a high-street shop.
Michael (47), whose real name is Georgios Panayiotou, also faces charges of possession of cannabis, Scotland Yard said.
He was arrested in July this year after he crashed his Range Rover into a branch of Snappy Snaps, the photographic shop, in Hampstead, north London.
Michael was not breathalysed at the scene as he insisted he had not been drinking. He is thought to have been tested for drugs at a police station later.
The Wham! star, from nearby Highgate, who has a history of drug use, was charged when he reported to a police station. He is to appear before Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court on August 24.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. -- A retired decorated Air Force sergeant who worked as a civilian at the super-secret office that builds and operates U.S. spy satellites was charged Friday with conspiracy to commit espionage.
Brian P. Regan, 38, appeared in federal court a day after federal authorities took him into custody as he was passing through a security checkpoint to take a Lufthansa flight to Zurich, Switzerland, via Frankfurt, Germany.
Prosecutors would not name the country for which Regan allegedly conspired to spy.
Regan, a native of Brooklyn, N.Y., had received a number of military honors, including an award for distinguished service involving his work as an intelligence analyst following the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990.
The arrest came not long after federal prosecutors negotiated a plea-bargain deal with Robert Hanssen, who pleaded guilty to several counts of spying over several years for Russia. Melson said he knew of no connection between the Regan and Hanssen cases.
Bush urges Congress to control spending
CRAWFORD, Texas -- President Bush urged Congress on Friday not to ''go hog wild'' on spending, saying a little belt-tightening is needed while the economy corrects itself.
''There's not as much money around Washington as there used to be,'' Bush told reporters during a news conference here. But he said the United States will be able to muddle through the current economic slowdown if Congress resists the urge to spend.
Bush said the economic recovery could be helped along by his tax cut, congressional approval of trade-negotiating authority and correction in some economic sectors. But he ruled out tapping Social Security, saying those funds should not be touched except in case of war or a recession.
Air Force general picked for Joint Chiefs
CRAWFORD, Texas -- President Bush chose Richard Myers as the new chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff -- and immediately tasked the Air Force general with encouraging Congress to finance high-tech upgrades for the armed forces.
Bush said Friday that he would nominate Myers, Joint Chiefs vice chairman and the former head of U.S. Space Command, as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Bush also nominated Marine Gen. Pete Pace, head of the U.S. Southern Command, to succeed Myers as vice chairman.
Myers, 59, is the first Air Force officer selected for the top Joint Chiefs post in nearly 20 years; Air Force Gen. David Jones was chairman from 1978 to 1982. If confirmed by the Senate, Myers will replace Army Gen. Henry H. Shelton, who steps down Sept. 30.

To make a hat, you have to figure out your head size. My husband measure his head for me and here I am looking at the table with head size and hat size.
Then with that hat size, you pick a pre-shaped felt hat. There were shelves and shelves of hats.
Even straw hats.
This is my hat before I turned it into a cowboy hat.
Here I am wearing the hat.
Next you pick the block that is the shape and size of your head. J.W. helped me pick out the right one for me.
Then you stick the block into the hat.
Steam it until its really hot and shape it to fit the block perfectly.
The is the machine that helps the hat really form to the block.
I then had to sand mine because of the type of hat I was making. (This is a classmate sanding her hat.)
My poor black hand after sanding my black hat.
Then I put my hat in this squishing machine. See the two round plates? My hat is sandwich between to flatten the brim. We had also trimmed the brim to be the same width all the way around.
In the sewing room, this wonderful mam helped us sew in the sweatband, glue in the lining, and sew on the ribbon around the hat.
Then with some starchy stuff, the crown of the hat was shaped. It was amazing to watch the workers because they were so fast and smooth. It always turned out perfectly. Sorry his hands are blurry, he moved too fast.
More steam on the brim to shape it. He was also very fast at this. After he did mine, he undid it so that I could try it myself. I had a little help but it was really fun.
Lastly, beautiful Joyce would print our names onto the sweatband. She was fast too. I lovingly put my husbands name in it.
The after pictures are next!


text: meaning: Growing Godly Guys. started in 2008 with the building of the Mexico two story structure. Shortly after returning home, a Bible Study for men was started on Wednesday night. Since the first night, on an average, 85+ men have been attending regularly. As these men grew in their faith and with the experience in Mexico, men were asking for more opportunities to serve and build bridges into the community to reach people with physical needs and help them with their spiritual needs. Using the Acts 1:8 model of ministry and "Here", "There", & "Everywhere", we founded Alliance Kingdom Builders – AKB. Currently ministries has helped sponsor multiple work projects in our community and overseas and they support Dave and Brenda Aderholdt who are missionaries in Macedonia. is still a young ministry that is looking to the future with many great opportunities to help men grow in the faith; To reach men with a credible offer of Jesus Christ; To help them grow in knowledge and love for Christ; To equip them to be God's witnesses and to serve God in the home, church, workplace, community, and world (Acts 1:8 model). To create a 'come as you are culture'. Within this culture, all must feel free to come whether you're searching for the first time or you've lost count. . . you are welcome to join us as we seek God together. We couldn't care less who you voted for in the last election. Our ministry for men is a place where God meets seeking men who are far from perfect, and by the way, no perfect people allowed. That means every guy is welcome, no matter where you are on your spiritual journey. So learn at your own pace. Ask questions. Seek God. Seek answers. We believe you will find what you're looking for. You'll learn how to relate to God. You'll experience Christian community. And here's the big thing – you will change, starting with your heart. (Come as you are was mostly adopted from the Book: No Perfect People Allowed). Our goal is to help men change their lives by connecting the dots between the Bible and their daily lives. We measure ourselves and Christianity by heart transformation and not by mere behavioral modifications.

NBA: The Miami Heat register 26th successive victory
The Miami Heat moved a step closer to the NBA winning streak as they thumped the Charlotte Bobcats 109-77.
Last Updated: 25/03/13 4:46am
LeBron James had 32 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds as the Heat registered their 26th successive victory - seven shy of Los Angeles Lakers' 1971-72 record.
Norris Cole and Chris Bosh contributed 15 points apiece while Ray Allen added 14 off the bench for Miami. Kemba Walker scored 20 points in a losing cause for the Bobcats.
Philadelphia snapped their 15-game losing run away from home with a 117-103 win over Sacramento. Dorell Wright scored 22 points, Jrue Holiday 21 and Lavoy Allen 20 for the 76ers, with Isaiah Thomas' game-high 25-point haul not enough for the Kings.
Season high
Chicago claimed back-to-back road wins with a 104-97 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Nate Robinson had 22 points and 10 assists for the Bulls.
Goran Dragic scored 31 points for Phoenix but it was not enough to prevent the Suns losing 102-100 to the Brooklyn Nets.
The Dallas Mavericks saw off Utah 113-108, Mike James' season-high 19 points playing a big part in dealing the Jazz a ninth straight road loss, while James Harden scored 29 points - including a decisive jumper with 4.5 seconds remaining - to hand the Houston Rockets a narrow 96-95 triumph over the San Antonio Spurs.
Atlanta rallied for a 104-99 win over the Milwaukee Bucks with Al Horford scoring 24 points for the Hawks, while 24 points and 10 rebounds from Kevin Durant lifted the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 103-83 success against the Portland Trail Blazers.

We expedite the job of finding you an excellent nanny, caregiver, housekeeper or house manager. We carefully and personally screen each person and we ensure the transition goes smoothly. Here's how.
Our job is to find qualified candidates, thoroughly screen them, and come to know their skills, experience and areas of expertise. We listen carefully to you to understand exactly what you want from a nanny, caregiver, housekeepers or house manager. And then we make a match, pairing the right helper to the right job. You then becomes the helper's employer. You pay a one-time fee to Home Helpers equivalent to one month of an employee's net salary.
All of our helpers have been personally selected and interviewed by our president for their expertise, experience and commitment to making your life easier.
Each home helper is been carefully screened, and qualifications and references thoroughly checked (including a criminal background check) to ensure your satisfaction.
If, within the first three months, the fit isn't right, for whatever reason, and either you or the helper is not happy, we make a new match at no extra cost.
For more than 27 years, we have been successfully serving the Greater Toronto Area. We can provide overseas live-in caregivers for clients across Canada.
All of our helpers speak English.
Many of our nannies, caregivers, housekeepers and house managers come from Singapore and Hong Kong, because there is a strong influx of qualified domestic helpers in those countries looking for these types of positions. Hiring an overseas helper tends to be more cost effective than hiring locally, with no difference in the quality of service provided.
Our president, Judy Richards, makes frequent business trips to Singapore and Hong Kong, where she has built a vast pool of candidates from which she draws. There, she gets to know each candidate, interviewing and screening each one personally. Home Helpers takes care of all the paperwork to allow the helpers to come to Canada. Once a job offer is made by you, it takes about three to six months for the governmental approvals to be finalized and for the helper to begin employment. We have a very high success rate - over 95% - because we listen to your needs, we conduct a thorough screening, and we are very, very picky about our candidates.

What Is Astaxanthin?
By: Brandi Black, RHN
Move over Vitamin C, you have antioxidant competition in town, and it's a marine microalgae called astaxanthin. Astaxanthin (pronounced asta-zan-thin) is often referred to as "The King of Carotenoids," and is becoming increasingly popular for its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. But what is astaxanthin exactly?
If you're not familiar with carotenoids, they're a class of plant pigments that act as powerful antioxidants and give plants their bright colors. One carotenoid you may already be familiar with is beta-carotene, the antioxidant form of vitamin A, which gives pumpkins their bright orange hue. Astaxanthin is found in green and coral colored pigment in algae and certain marine animals such as salmon, lobster and shrimp.
But astaxanthin has far more antioxidant power than beta-carotene. In fact, studies have shown that the antioxidant activity of astaxanthin is significantly stronger than beta-carotene, vitamin E, lycopene and lutein.
Why is Astaxanthin Superior to Other Antioxidants?
Now, it's one thing to say that astaxanthin has extreme antioxidant power. But what is it about astaxanthin that allows it to be superior to other carotenoids and antioxidant vitamins?
The reason why astaxanthin is so powerful is due to its unique structure, which allows it to function as an antioxidant in a much different way.
You see, most antioxidant vitamins and minerals lose their antioxidant function after they've disarmed a free radical— similar to how a honey bee dies after it stings you. But astaxanthin remains active after it's disarmed a free radical, which gives it much more antioxidant potential. Furthermore, astaxanthin has also been shown to disarm several free radicals at one time, not just one free radical like most antioxidants.
How Antioxidants Keep You Healthy
Antioxidants are nutrients that help disarm the free radicals, or toxins, that can destroy our cells. As mentioned above, antioxidants are found abundantly in plant foods as carotenoids. Certain organic vitamins also act as antioxidants, including vitamins A, E and C.
Antioxidants are so important to include in our diets because they help prevent toxins from damaging our cells. You see, we absorb several toxins through our bloodstream each day— whether that's from pollution in the air we breathe, pesticides on the food we eat, or chemicals in the household and body care products we use regularly— no one is exempt from toxin exposure. Mold, gluten, refined sugar and trans-fats can also cause cellular damage, in addition to the body's natural metabolic processes.
When we absorb toxins, they can cause cellular oxidation. Oxidation permanently damages the structure of our cells, and can be the root cause of several serious and irreversible health conditions. Neurodegenerative diseases, autoimmune conditions and severe inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis have all been linked to cellular oxidation.
Preventing the occurrence of these devastating health conditions is only one reason to include antioxidants in your diet. By improving your cellular health with antioxidants, you'll also experience more energy, get sick less often and maintain your youth— internally and externally.
Health Benefits of Astaxanthin
We've touched on the strength of astaxanthin as an antioxidant, but what are astaxanthin's health benefits? Astaxanthin has been proven to reduce cellular damage, which makes it a key nutrient for disease prevention and improving several areas of health and wellness. Here are a few other health benefits of astaxanthin:
The fact that astaxanthin acts as a natural anti-inflammatory should also be stressed as a valuable health benefit. In addition to cellular damage (which is a form of inflammation in itself), chronic inflammation is the root cause of all disease.
In fact, today's modern diet and lifestyle is full of factors that cause chronic inflammation, such as stress, toxins, a lack of sleep and exercise, and a diet rich in pro-inflammatory foods such as wheat, dairy, gluten and meat. As you can see, anti-inflammatory nutrients such as astaxanthin are needed in our diets more than ever before.
Astaxanthin has also been shown to reduce high blood pressure in rats with hypertension, as well as lower the body's insulin response in diabetic mice. These studies further support the use of astaxanthin as an antioxidant to protect against chronic diseases associated with inflammation.
How to Get Astaxanthin in Your Diet
Astaxanthin can be purchased as a nutritional supplement in many health food stores, however, there's limited research about its bioavailability when taken in capsule form. For this reason, you may want to ask the manufacturer about its efficacy as a nutritional supplement before purchasing. A high quality astaxanthin supplement will typically use haematococcus pluvialis as the astaxanthin source, which is from marine microalgae.
Whether you choose to take astaxanthin as a nutritional supplement or not, there are several food sources that also contain astaxanthin:
As you can see, astaxanthin is found in most seafoods that have a light pinkish color when they're cooked. Some health experts recommend avoiding over-cooking seafood to preserve the astaxanthin content, as it may deplete when exposed to extremely high temperatures.
Astaxanthin and Your Skin
Now, astaxanthin may be a good nutrient to include in your diet. But it could also be the new holy grail of your skin care routine.
As mentioned above, eating foods rich in astaxanthin can help improve the texture of your skin, based on its ability to improve cellular health. But studies have shown astaxanthin has another unique health benefit to offer when applied topically: protection against the sun.
Astaxanthin has been shown to have full photoprotective effects, which no other antioxidant has been shown to have. This means astaxanthin can help reduce the redness and inflammation associated with a sunburn when applied to the skin before exposure.
Since astaxanthin doesn't have an SPF, it can't protect against UV rays— but it's the next best (and all-natural) way to protect your skin from wrinkles, premature aging and spots caused by sun exposure.
If you're wondering where to find an all-natural product that contains a high concentration of astaxanthin, look no further: we've recently introduced our latest skin cream, Astarella Primetime Skin Cream.
Now, if I could quickly share with you about my personal experience with Astarella so far.
I've been using Astarella Primetime Skin Cream since March of 2016, and I never cease to be impressed with the dewy texture of my skin when I wake up in the morning after applying Astarella the night before. Not only is my complexion completely clear, but my pores are smaller and my skin texture is considerably smoother than it was a few months ago.
Since I live in the Caribbean, one of my top priorities is caring for my skin properly, against the humidity and sunlight. While I still use a natural sunscreen to protect against sun damage, the photoprotective benefits of astaxanthin offer an extra boost of protection. In fact, my complexion looks so radiant that I no longer have to wear pore-clogging tinted moisturizers to even out my skin tone.
I'm also pleased to announce that as a freckle-prone gal, I have not developed the usual freckles on my nose that appear religiously after spending time in the sun.
Astarella Primetime Skin Cream features astaxanthin sourced from marine microalgae as one of the primary ingredients. But Astarella's one-of-a-kind formula also includes several other natural skin care ingredients that help gently exfoliate, hydrate and maintain skin elasticity— such as jojoba oil, unrefined shea butter, meadowfoam seed oil and grapefruit seed oil.
Astarella Primetime Skin Cream even contains Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF), which is an ingredient unique to the amazing green superfood: chlorella. CGF helps repair and regenerate cells for healthier looking skin. In my personal experience as a nutritionist, I have yet to find a 100% natural, chemical-free skin cream that can offer all of these benefits in one.
And of course, a high quality skin cream should also be free of toxins to maintain the integrity of the skin's cells and prevent oxidative damage. Astarella Primetime Skin Cream is 100% toxin free, and is formulated without parabens, gluten, artificial colors and fragrances.
Now that summer has arrived, our team at Sun Chlorella USA wants to offer you the chance to give your skin the protection it deserves during the hotter months (although Astarella offers protection year-round, too!).

Minster FM News
Independent York Councillor Joins Lib Dems
4:43pm 17th May 2013
Councillor Lynn Jeffries, who resigned from the Labour Party last year, is joining the Liberal Democrat Group on City of York Council.
Lynn, who currently represents Westfield Ward as an Independent, said she was delighted to join the Lib Dems who were offering the "real alternative to Labour in York". She resigned from the Labour Group last August saying she was disillusioned with the way they were running the city, opposed their cuts to social care and the alleged lack of genuine consultation, and accused Council Leader James Alexander of being more interested in his public profile than representing residents.
Councillor Lynn Jeffries' commented:
"I have chosen to join the Liberal Democrat Group because I feel they are the real alternative to Labour in York. When Labour closed Beckfield Lane and Burnholme School and when they cut adult social care it was the Lib Dem Group who actually listened to residents and led the opposition. It is also the Lib Dems that are leading the fight against Labour's plans to rip-up the Green Belt.
"Lib Dem campaigners in Westfield and elsewhere are the ones who are actually working hard for local residents. I feel that joining the Group is the best way for me to represent the people of Westfield and to be able to stand-up for the rights of vulnerable people in York who are suffering the impact of Labour's cuts.
"I have worked very closely with Keith Aspden on a number of issues and I know he will be an excellent Leader of the Lib Dems."
But Councillor James Alexander has responded by telling Minster FM:
Councillor Keith Aspden, who was elected Liberal Democrat Group Leader in York last week, commented:
"I am thrilled that Lynn will be joining the Liberal Democrat Group. She took a brave and principled stand on Labour's handling of the cuts to social care last year and she has a proven track record as a diligent campaigner on equality issues. She is Chair of York Independent Living Network and her experience and insight on these matters will be invaluable to the Group. We have worked closely with her on many issues in the past few months and she does an excellent job representing Westfield residents. I am looking forward to working with her."
Lynn will lead on equality issues for the Group and will be nominated to sit on the Council's Health Scrutiny Committee.

USF Bulls
USF losses following very familiar script
TAMPA - Defeats are falling into the same pattern. Game-altering mistakes. Crushing penalties. Defensive lapses. A slow-starting offense that catches fire in the second half, but falls short. For the University of South Florida Bulls football team, there is always a postgame pledge of no surrender. That hasn't altered, either. After USF's 27-25 defeat at unbeaten Louisville on Saturday, the Bulls (2-5, 0-3 Big East Conference) have virtually no margin of error. Postseason talk might seem ridiculous considering USF's record-setting five-game losing streak, but players are keeping that hope alive.As the Bulls prepare for Saturday night's homecoming game against the Syracuse Orange (3-4, 2-1), a revitalized program with its own goal of rallying for a bowl game, USF players are determined to keep fighting. "I still don't believe we're going to tank it,'' USF senior quarterback B.J. Daniels said. "We have weathered them (difficult times) plain and simple. We still believe in this team and these coaches.'' It's no longer the disappointment of underachievement for a team picked second in the Big East preseason poll. Now it's finding a way to win a game – any game. After failing to produce an upset of a ranked opponent, which could've given Skip Holtz some slight breathing room, the Bulls have dropped 11 of their last 12 Big East games. "We'll win,'' USF senior linebacker Sam Barrington said. But when? The Bulls have home games against Syracuse and Connecticut, then trips to Miami and Cincinnati, before the Raymond James Stadium finale against Pittsburgh. "You just have to keep grinding away,'' USF offensive coordinator Todd Fitch said. "It's not a good answer for you, not a flashy answer, but that's all you can do. "At the end of the day, something good is going to come out of it for these kids. They've been through too many tough times. They've worked hard with great attitudes and work ethic. I've got to believe at the end of the day they're going to get some kind of reward out of it.'' The Bulls haven't won since Sept. 8 at Nevada. Three times during its losing streak, USF has taken a late fourth-quarter lead or tied the game, only to see its defense fail to produce the necessary game-clinching stop. "Everybody is feeling that hurt, no matter what side of the ball you're on,'' sophomore wide receiver Andre Davis said. "It's a tough loss for all of us together,'' junior defensive end Tevin Mims said. "But as a defense, of course, you want to close it out.'' Had USF's defense found a way to accomplish that on Louisville's final drive, an eight-play, 75-yard march that culminated in Teddy Bridgewater's 11-yard winning score to Eli Rogers with 1:35 remaining, some pressure would be diffused. Had USF's offense been more efficient in its last effort, when clock management skills were lacking, perhaps place-kicker Maikon Bonani would've been positioned to win the game. Instead, it devolved into just another defeat. It's becoming difficult to distinguish one from the other. Now the Bulls have consecutive home games against sub-.500 Big East opponents, a stretch that could define the direction of Holtz's era at USF. "There's never a day when we're coming to practice and everybody's like, 'Oh, I don't want to be here,' " Barrington said. "Perseverance is a key word for this team. We're 2-5 right now. But this is the best attitude 2-5 team I've ever seen. That's the thing you've got to appreciate the most.''

What to do;Ok, so let's say you encounter a Big Cat .... Now what? .... Big Cats although powerful enough to do serious or fatal harm to a human being, like all other wild animals would rather avoid a confrontation than attack, however, there are certain circumstances that an attack may be provoked though, such as; a.. Suprise b.. Guarding it's Kill c.. Being Cornered d.. Protecting their Young -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you do end up in a close encounter with a big cat, the first rule, as hard as it may be is not to panic ... to run off screaming will only send the cat into it's hunting instinct, so try to remain calm, back away slowly, I would suggest sideward's if possible, so you can keep an eye on the animal, and your pathway ahead, be sure footed, don't trip over, if you did, you would be compromising your size to the animal, whatever you do don't run, as you cannot out run a big cat, and they would be more likely to chase after you if you did. If you can pick up a stick without compromising your size, do so, but only use it as a last resort in self defense, do not attempt to attack with it, chances are, you'll come off worse. if you're in a group, then close together, if alone, open your coat, jacket, shirt even, the idea of this is to make yourself as large as you possibly can. If you've walked into a situation, where you've accidently cornered the cat, slowly make way for its escape, if you stumble upon on whilst its feeding, again back away slowly, don't make eye contact, as this may be deemed as a threat, if you see some young cubs, don't pick them up, no matter how cute they may look, the mother won't be far away, and the cute crying sound made by the cubs, will be an alert to the mother .... she won't be as cute.
