Wandering around my local Boots recently (I do this a lot as it is right next to work - so great for killing time) I spotted their new(ish) Ecotools range. I'm sure I've walked past it before, but never really paid it much attention. Having a bit of extra time to spare one day I found myself studying every shelf in that shop in detail (amazing what boredom can do to you!). It was whilst doing this, that I spotted the Ecotools Sustainable Facial Buffs.
At £2.99 I figured they were a pretty reasonable price, and might serve well as a temporary replacement for my somewhat manky old muslin cloths.
Now I'm not all that much into the "Eco" side of things, but I must admit I do feel a bit better when I do buy something eco-friendly. In terms of eco-ness, EcoTools are quite good at this. They are a member of "1% for the Planet", meaning that they give 1% of their annual revenue to environmental causes (I'm sure they could manage more though - but I shouldn't start an argument - it's better than nothing at all!). They also like to use recycled, recyclable and also sustainable materials when making their products.
You get two Sustainable facial buffs for your £2.99, and each one is double sided.
One side is made from natural loofah and is for scrubbing; the other side is made of rayon (from bamboo) and is used for cleansing.
Now onto what I think of them!
They're a great price, and according to the packet will only need replacing every 2-3 months, so with the two of them you have 4 - 6 months worth.
I absolutely love the idea behind them, being able to scrub and cleanse using the one pad, but I just found there was something lacking in the execution.
The pad is really rigid around the edge, and as such the finger strap doesn't fit over the pad, so you can't use it to hold on both sides. This means that when you come to cleanse you have an annoying strap getting in the way.
When the loofah gets wet it expands, making that side of the pad very bulbous. Fibrous parts of loofah start to fall out of the pad. It absorbs a lot of the cleanser instead of it being on your face, and it takes most of a day for it to dry back out again. I also find loofah to be a bit too rough on my face - however gentle I am! (maybe I just need to work up my tolerance?)
All-in-all I am really torn - I love the idea, I just so wish that the design was a bit better!
Would I buy them again? - Most probably not - unless they change the design!
Have you tried these, if so what did you think? Are other tools in the range better?

Commissioners accept Murphy's resignation
BEMIDJI - Beltrami County commissioners on Tuesday accepted the resignation of Tony Murphy and took its first steps in an expected half-year process to replace the outgoing county administrator.
"I would have to say that we've done some very good things over the past 10 and a half years," Commissioner Jack Frost said of Murphy's tenure. "It's been an exceptional decade, if you will, for Beltrami County."
"All you have to do is look around and look at the accomplishments that have been done," said Commissioner Quentin Fairbanks.
The Beltrami County Board voted to install Kay Mack, county auditor/treasurer, as interim administrator effective May 1, when Murphy will vacate his office.
It is a position Mack served once before. After the county's first administrator, Greg Lewis, left his office after eight years, Mack served in an interim basis until Murphy took over more than a decade ago.
The county board also voted to direct Linda Tran, human resource director, to compile information in the next two weeks and start the discussion on the method that should be used to fill the administrator position.
Commissioner Jim Lucachick said he believes the public sector needs to become more similar to the private sector and noted that in those businesses it is not atypical for them to bring in new CEOs every seven to 10 years.
He said Murphy was leading the county well into that direction, focusing on outcome-based solutions and strategy alignment.
"I believe that, in general, Beltrami County will continue to pursue outcome-based solutions, because I think all government is going to have get leaner, is going to have to run smarter," he said. "I wish you well, Tony, and I know you will do well."
Murphy submitted his resignation on March 29, stating that he is considering other employment options. He declined, following the board meeting, to expand on those options.
"Tony's been a good friend in government because we both held both city and county positions. We could empathize well back and forth," John Chattin, Bemidji city manager, told the Pioneer Tuesday. "Tony is an ... incredibly talented individual."
Lucachick said during the county board meeting that he expects the process to replace Murphy could take six months. Other commissioners noted the possible involvement of a headhunting or consulting firm.
"A half a year doesn't seem to be out of the question," Lucachick said. "By fall we should have a new administrator in place."
He noted that the county has a two-year budget in place and department heads will be able to handle well the day-to-day business of the county.
"Tony does leave big shoes to be filled," said Commissioner Richard Anderson. "But I do believe that all of us can be replaced and new energy and new talent will emerge."
Parks and surveys
In other business, Lucachick announced that Three Island Park has achieved inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places.
The board also voted 4-1, with Frost opposed, to not conduct a citizen survey until 2013 and instead use feedback generated by the new county newsletter to gauge residents' feelings.

CHICAGO – The "breeder years" are difficult on everyone, as the biological imperative becomes overwhelming and the couplings that result yield both discovery and misadventure. Nothing Without a Company's new play "Bobby Pin Girls" highlight two such Millennial women, roommates who are having man trouble, although the argument can be made that it's eternally "boy trouble." The show has a Thursday-Sunday run at the Chicago Mosaic School through December 3rd, 2017. Click here for more details, including ticket information.

Film Review: It Hurts Trying to Laugh at 'The Comedian'Submitted by PatrickMcD on February 3, 2017 - 11:04am
CHICAGO – Mention this possibility…Robert De Niro portrays an aging stand-up comic who once had a popular sitcom in the 1980s…and 99% of filmgoers are in. Add that he beds a woman 25 years his junior, does community service, roasts Cloris Leachman and becomes a reality show host, and suddenly 80% of that 99 are out. That's just part of the over-extension and dread in "The Comedian."

Something always felt a bit out of place for me in Martin Scorsese's brilliant "The King of Comedy", just released on Blu-ray for the first time. I couldn't put my finger on it but chalked it up to it being thematically ahead of its time in its investigation of the cult of personality that defines modern entertainment.

U.S. productivity is set to drop for the first time in over three decades, the Financial Times reports.
"Last year it looked like we were entering into a productivity crisis: Now we're right in it," think-tank Conference Board's chief economist Bart van Ark said.
Gross domestic product per hour is projected by Conference Board to drop by 0.2 percent this year. Output per person grew only 1.2 percent around the world in 2015, a drop from 1.9 percent in 2014. U.S. growth in output per hour skidded to just 0.3 percent last year, down from 0.5 percent in 2014. From 1999 to 2006, the pace was 2.4 percent.
Productivity growth lies at the heart of economic progress. Without an improvement in output for every hour worked, economies can grow only if people work harder and longer or more people find jobs. A downturn in productivity growth in one year does not matter much because economies will go through ups and downs as technology changes, but a persistent decline is a much more serious prospect. [Financial Times]
"Companies really need to invest seriously in innovation. It is time for companies to move on the productivity agenda to turn this story around," van Ark said. Jeva Lange
Republicans who implicitly or explicitly support Roy Moore, the Alabama GOP nominee for Senate, despite the credible accusations that he sexually assaulted or harassed teenage girls as young as 14, tend to point to his support for tax cuts or opposition to abortion and transgender rights. Moore is still in a competitive race against Democrat Doug Jones in part because Alabama is about half evangelical Christian, and many evangelical Christians and their leaders either give Moore the benefit of the doubt or, like Gov. Kay Ivey (R) say they believe Moore's accusers but will vote for him anyway.
The Southern Baptist and other evangelical Christian leaders who support Moore are vocal about it, but the ones who don't, for a variety of reasons, are "reticent," says New York Times religion reporter Laurie Goodstein, who spoke to many of them. And of the ones who are vocal about their support, Earl Wise, a pastor from Millbrook, wins the prize for worst defense of Moore, so far.
"I don't know how much these women are getting paid, but I can only believe they're getting a healthy sum," Wise told The Boston Globe, which contacted pastors on a list shared by Moore and his wife. (Ten responded to the Globe, including Wise, whose church and religious affiliation are not noted, though he appears to be a real estate agent and pastor at Hunter Station Baptist Church.) "How these gals came up with this, I don't know. They must have had some sweet dreams somewhere down the line," he said, adding, "Plus, there are some 14-year-olds, who, the way they look, could pass for 20."

Charlie Rose's shell-shocked co-hosts react on air to allegations that he sexually harassed women
CBS This Morning hosts Norah O'Donnell and Gayle King delivered powerful, shaken reactions Tuesday morning to the news that their co-host, veteran journalist Charlie Rose, was suspended following eight women's accusations of sexual harassment. "Let me be very clear," said O'Donnell, looking firmly into the camera. "There is no excuse for this alleged behavior. It is systematic and pervasive, and I've been doing a lot of listening."
"This is a moment that demands a frank and honest assessment about where we stand and more generally the safety of women. Let me be very clear. There is no excuse for this alleged behavior. It is systematic and pervasive and I've been doing a lot of listening." -- @NorahODonnell pic.twitter.com/9P69QN7spu

King was also deeply affected by the news. "I am really reeling," she said, calling the Washington Post article that first reported the allegations "deeply disturbing, troubling, and painful for me to read."
"Oprah called me and said, are you okay? I am not okay," King said. She explained: "I'm really struggling, because how do you — what do you say when someone that you deeply care about has done something that is so horrible?"
King added that despite her conflicted feelings, "Charlie does not get a pass here. He doesn't get a pass from anyone in this room." Watch her comments below. Jeva Lange
"I really am reeling. I got 1 hour & 42 minutes of sleep last night, both my son and my daughter called me. Oprah called me and said, are you okay? I am not okay. After reading that article in the Post, it was deeply disturbing, troubling and painful for me to read." - @GayleKing pic.twitter.com/EQoEBHFkUr

Stephen Colbert started his interview with Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Monday's Late Show by commiserating about President Trump, and then he threw her a curveball, noting that Warren and Trump both agree the 2016 Democratic primaries were "rigged." Warren took the opportunity to "clarify" her comments to CNN's Jake Tapper, then more cheerfully turned to the Democratic mini-wave in 2017, and her party's — and her own — chances in 2018, when she's up for re-election. "What about 2020?" Colbert asked, nodding to Warren's possible presidential aspirations.
She didn't bite. Democrats have to fight hard now, this week, Warren said, pointing to the GOP tax plan, which she called "$1.5 trillion in giveaways for giant corporations, for billionaires," paid for by working families. "This is about numbers, but it's about values," she said. "I don't believe one middle class person in America should have her taxes raised in order to do tax giveaways to billionaires and giant corporations."
Colbert played devil's advocate, earning a groan from the crowd and an eye-roll from Warren by bringing up trickle-down economics. "We have the data — trickle-down doesn't work," Warren said. "When you help the rich get richer, the rich get richer, and they keep it." CEOs have been admitting that on earnings calls for months, she added, urging people to call lawmakers, tweet, and take to the streets.
Colbert asked Warren if she thinks Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) should step down. She said she "was just enormously disappointed about this," but Franken will answer his "serious" sexual harassment allegations before the Senate Ethics Committee. "We're going to watch this thing play out with famous men," Warren said, but the big question is if this "moment in America" will be just "a big flash and then nothing really changes." We'll know this change is real, she said, when jerks in the office no longer feel it is safe to sexually harass their female coworkers or employees. Peter Weber
Russian President Vladimir Putin hosted Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad in Sochi, Russia, on Monday, the Kremlin announced Tuesday. Assad thanked Putin "and all Russian people" for "the efforts that Russia made to save our country," and Putin said Russia's "joint operation to fight terrorists in Syria, this military operation is indeed coming to an end." Putin and Assad use the word "terrorists" to describe both Islamic State militants and Syrians who oppose Assad in the civil war that has roiled Syria since March 2011.
More than 400,000 people have been killed in the war and millions of Syrians fled to Europe and elsewhere, and Russia's use of military force on Assad's behalf starting in 2015 tipped the war decisively in Assad's favor. This was only Assad's second trip out of Syria since his harsh crackdown on protesters led to war, following an October 2015 visit to Russia. On Wednesday, Putin is hosting the leaders of Iran, which also backed Assad, and Turkey, which supported the opposition.
Video and photos released by Russia show Putin and Assad embracing and meeting with Russian generals and other military leaders. "I would like to introduce you to people who played a key role in saving Syria," Putin told Assad.
If you are interested in what else Putin and Assad said and don't speak Russian, the Kremlin has an English-Language transcript. Peter Weber
Stephen Colbert kicked off Monday's Late Show with the news that Monday is hard, as demonstrated in the foiled plans of a Weather Channel cameraman to document the implosion of the Georgia Dome. "Can a bus drive in front of 2017 for a while?" he asked. "Or maybe just park in front of Charlie Rose?" But "Monday also means that it's time to dig through Trump's weekend tweets," he said, and so he did.
Colbert started with President Trump's demand for thanks from the three UCLA basketball players on whose behalf he interceded after they were arrested for shoplifting in China. When one of their fathers shrugged of Trump's role, he hit back, suggesting he should have left the UCLA players in Chinese jail. Colbert raised an eyebrow: "Mr. Trump, I know you're upset, but maybe now's not the time to be implying that someone's kids should go to jail for what their dad did."
Trump also hit back at Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), after Flake was caught on mic saying if the GOP is the party of Trump and Alabama Senate nominee Roy Moore, "we are toast." Colbert protested. "Sen. Flake, that is a little too hard on toast," he said, poking at Moore. "May I remind you, sir, toast doesn't cruise the mall looking for dough that hasn't risen yet." He found Trump's counterpunch tweet equally iffy. "Either he misspelled the abbreviation for microphone," he said, "or he's implying that Sen. Flake was caught 'on Mike,' which does not sound like something Vice President Pence would be into, but if so, good for you — live your best life, sir."
Colbert was pleased that Trump will keep a ban on elephant trophies, but also a little confused. "Are we supposed to thank Trump for not doing a terrible thing that nobody was talking about doing until his administration was gonna do it?" he asked. Watch below. Peter Weber
Meet Lawrence of Abdoun, the British Embassy in Amman's new diplocat.
Named after T.E. Lawrence and adopted last month from a Jordan animal shelter, he resides at the embassy in Amman's Abdoun neighborhood. "Apart from his mousing duties, he reaches out to followers on Twitter," Deputy Ambassador Laura Dauban told Reuters. "What's quite interesting is the British public are seeing the U.K. embassy in Jordan in a different light. Through Lawrence's Twitter account, we're trying to show a different side to Jordan, what it is really like, a peaceful, prosperous country that British tourists should come and visit."
He isn't the only cat working for the U.K. government — in fact, he reports directly to Palmerston, the chief mouser at London's Foreign Office. Catherine Garcia

Trump adviser equates Roy Moore's alleged child predation with Doug Jones' support for abortion rights
Republicans may be stuck with Roy Moore as their nominee for a Senate seat in Alabama, but many of them are making the best of it. President Trump has decided not to join other GOP leaders in calling for Moore to quit the race amid credible allegations that he fondled or sexually assaulted teenage girls as young as 14 and pursued sexual relationships with others, and his advisers are coming up with reasons Alabamians might want to vote for Moore over Democrat Doug Jones, a former federal prosecutor. For Kellyanne Conway, that reason was tax cuts; for Trump supporter and former economic adviser Stephen Moore, it was abortion rights.
On CNN Monday night, Moore echoed the White House line that Alabama voters should decide if they want to be represented in the Senate by Roy Moore, who Stephen Moore called "kind of a creep," or Jones, who he said is "no saint, either." Jones, he told CNN's John Berman, "is for partial birth abortion in a state that's highly Christian and Catholic, so there's no moral high ground here between the two candidates." Berman protested, "Except one is an alleged child molester." Moore responded, "Yeah, and the other one is for partial birth abortion, which a lot of people in Alabama think is tantamount to murder."
This guy compared Doug Jones' position on abortion to Roy Moore molesting children. Yes, you read that correctly. pic.twitter.com/2fbXRIZd1Z
— Renato Mariotti (@renato_mariotti) November 21, 2017
Alabama is 49 percent evangelical Protestant and 7 percent Catholic, according to Pew, but with Roy Moore's moral stock falling, Republicans are bringing up abortion a lot as a reason not to vote for Jones. Jones told AL.com earlier this month: "I fully support a woman's freedom to choose to what happens to her own body. ... Having said that, the law for decades has been that late-term procedures are generally restricted except in the case of medical necessity. That's what I support." Peter Weber

*In the summer 2017, this Director's Internship placement is also part of the Schaeffer Fellows program. Read more about that program here.
Veterans Legal Services ("VLS") was started in 1991 by law students who identified that homeless and at-risk veterans faced legal barriers to stability and were not being served by other legal aid organizations. They established a free walk-in legal clinic at the New England Center and Home for Veterans ("NECHV"). In 1994, VLS incorporated and obtained 501(c)(3) status. VLS has since expanded and, in addition to continuing its services at NECHV, now also provides services at the Chelsea Soldiers' Home, the Bedford VA Medical Center, the Norfolk County Veterans Treatment Court, Massachusetts Stand Down for Veterans, Yellow Ribbon events for deploying and returning troops, and various veterans' fairs and expos throughout Massachusetts. Today, VLS remains the only legal aid organization in Massachusetts whose primary mission is to serve veterans. VLS prioritizes helping veterans who would not otherwise receive legal services and where representation may yield a life-changing result that restores a veteran's self-sufficiency and dignity. VLS prioritizes cases for the disabled, victims of domestic violence, and cases where there is a significant disparity in resources or where the opposing party has representation. Its mission is to promote self-sufficiency, stability, and financial security of homeless and low-income veterans through free and accessible legal services. VLS services over 500 veterans' cases per year.
Internship Description

Sorry for no blogging yesterday. The April Fool's joke was on me - we woke up to find out that our hot water heater had burst and flooded our basement. Fun, fun, fun.

Mine never burst, Betsy, but a plumber once didn't solder a water line properly when he installed a new heater and by the time I got home from work, there were two inches of water all over the basement. It's an unfinished basement, luckily. By the time he got back to fix the line, I had calmed down, so he escaped with his neck intact.

Jesus Christ will come again, that is what The Holy Bible tells it's people. Christians believe that Jesus is the rock and salvation. In fact, the meaning of the word Jesus summons to 'saves' or salvation.
It is rightly said that Jesus saves sinners and when he comes to earth on the final judgment day, he will take his people to the promised land.
In The Holy Bible, the name of Jesus appears 900 times. However, the name Christ is not a name but a title and it means the 'anointed' one. Jesus Christ was anointed with the power of Holy Spirit and was the promised saviour. The word Christ also marks more than a 500 times in the Holy Book.
Jesus Christ is well known among other religions. In fact in the Holy Quran, His powerful name is mentioned more than once and it is said that his presence on earth will come again. In the Holy Quran it is also mentioned that Jesus began speaking 2 days after he was born, and this fact is a miracle. Today, Boldsky has put together some of the interesting facts about Jesus Christ, we think you are not aware of.
Take a look at some of these facts related to Jesus's birth and his life.
Jesus Food Habits
In the Old Testament it says that Jesus ate butter and honey and also ate broiled fish and honeycomb. He also ate bread which was the staple food for man in those years.
His Profession
People called Jesus a carpenter (Mark 6:3), and He was known as a carpenter's son (Matthew 13:55). This is what is mentioned in the Holy Book, which makes us belief that Jesus was a hardworking man.
His Birthday
Over the years, we have celebrated Jesus's birthday on 25th December, which is also considered as Christmas. However, the interesting fact about Jesus's birthday is not known. Scholars only claim to say that He was born in early Spring or Winter.
Jesus's Family
Jesus had several half brothers and sisters. At least some of his brothers were named James, Joses, Simon and Judas but there was no name of his sister in The Bible.
When Jesus Was On The Cross
Did you know this interesting fact about Jesus Christ? When he was hung on the cross at the time of his crucification, Jesus sang the Psalms which quote, ""Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani!"which means, 'My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?'
The 12 Disciples
The 12 disciples whom Jesus loved and cared for at his time were actually in their late teens. They preached the word of God around the world and spoke of Jesus Christ.

Two Years Ago: Chicken Salad with Fruits and Peppadews
I have to smile. Whenever I make something readily available in a store, I always see my mother giving me that concerned "where-did-I-go-wrong" look and asking me "Why would you ever make something you can simply buy at the store?" Because it's more interesting and much cheaper than buying a box of crackers at the store. Because I will customize the recipe and make it mine. And because it's a fun project for a rainy or snowy day to do with someone else, maybe even a child. The more children get involved in cooking, the more foods they're willing to try.
Have you ever thought of making crackers? It's really easy and they keep fresh in a zip top bag for weeks. This particular version has flax seeds which we all know are really good for you, but you could use literally any seeds you want. The flax seeds have a nutty taste and crunchy texture.
Sesame and poppy seeds are also a great combination. Besides varying the seeds, you can add a topping of coarse salt or not. You can also create big, dramatic broken crackers like a restaurant, or you can score the dough to make smaller rectangles or squares - I made one batch of each to show you the difference. Choices, choices.
The key is to roll the dough as thin and as evenly as possible to make the crispiest crackers. Although you could bake both batches in the oven at once and rotate them between the upper and lower thirds of the oven halfway through, I've found that never works very well in practice which is why I prefer baking each batch separately in the middle of the oven.

Flax Seed Crackers
Makes approximately 40 – 60 crackers depending on size
Note: flax seeds are available in health food stores and some grocery store bulk aisles
½ cup flax seeds
1 ½ cups all purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons butter, softened
½ cup low-fat milk
Coarse kosher or sea salt for garnish, optional
Preheat oven to 350d with the rack in the middle of the oven.
Put flax seeds, flour, baking powder, salt and butter into a large bowl. Using a hand or stand mixer, mix on low until the butter resembles coarse meal. (Alternately, mix by hand.) Add the milk and mix until dough comes together. Set the mixer aside and use your (clean!) hands to completely incorporate all the flour and seeds (this just takes a few seconds, you're not kneading the dough) and form into a ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for 10 minutes.
Divide the dough in half and return one half to the refrigerator. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the piece of dough to a rough rectangle as thin as possible without tearing, about 1/16-in thick. (If you own a pasta machine you can use it to roll the dough. Lightly flour the pasta roller and flatten the dough until it will pass through the first setting. Go to the highest number your roller will allow without tearing the dough. Cut in half to fit your baking sheet if necessary.)
Optional: sprinkle the dough lightly with coarse salt and roll over lightly with the rolling pin to adhere the salt to the dough. Transfer to a large baking sheet. If desired, score the dough into square or rectangular cracker shapes. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes until crisp and golden. Remove and let cool before breaking apart.
Repeat with the other portion of dough.

A Meeting of the Minds, All About Bedbugs
Bed bugs are this year's national pest, and they've achieved some status in the health world: their very own conference.
BedBug Central, a for-profit company in New Jersey that sells treatment methods, is organizing what it's calling the first-annual North American Bed Bug Summit. The commercial event, scheduled for Sept. 21 and 22 in Chicago, is sold out, a company spokesman said. More than 400 people paid $399 to learn how to stamp out the nighttime-biters that are resurging nationwide. Invitations were sent out three months ago, said Calvin Allen, the company spokesman.

As industrial automation networks go, EtherNet/IP has more than its share of advantages. It's fast. It's flexible. It's easy to set up. It's robust. Those advantages, however, come at a price. Users have to invest in infrastructure and devices certified to work with the EtherNet/IP standard.Today, EtherNet/IP is among the most popular industrial networks, and there's no shortage of compliant devices. Consider motion control applications, for example. There are hundreds of EtherNet/IP actuators, drives, controllers and sensors on the market today.
One persistent exception to the wide availability of EtherNet/IP devices has been optical encoders. From a networking standpoint, the benefits of EtherNet/IP may apply to all compliant encoders. But from a performance standpoint, compliant encoders are not all created equal.

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
Page 6 of 7
Much of Goldee's rage stems from her sister's murder, which happened seventeen years ago. "The next day I went by the house where it happened, on 18th and Myrtle Street in West Oakland," she says. "They left all the yellow tape up, and the door unlocked, and all the blood. I can't tell you what it feels like to see that: It's like, you're stiff; you can't feel anything anymore."
The MC revisits the murder in her signature song, "Off with His Head," a jeremiad addressed to her sister's killer. On the hook, Goldee shrieks in a voice jagged enough to feel the shards flying in your eardrums: Off with his head/I want 'im dead/I put seventeen Glock shots worth of bullets in your fuckin' head.
Goldee, whose album has no projected release date, describes her music as an outlet through which she expresses anger, and also tries to make sense of what's happened to her. "I feel like I was cursed from the womb," she says. "I'm not gonna go out there and hurt nobody, so I just put it in my music." Yet because the tragedies of which she raps mostly arise from violent relationships with men, her songs are about coping with individual trauma.
Goldee is not the only female MC to use violence to reverse or appropriate gender roles. Conscious Daughters, who put at least one song relevant to women's issues on every album, see this reversal as a way of making their songs sound not only hard-hitting, but socially relevant. Ear to the Street's "Wife of a Gangsta" grimly discussed the dangers a woman faced in having a drug-dealer boyfriend, while "Shitty Situation" frankly addressed an unwanted pregnancy without any support from the baby's father. According to CMG, when Queen Latifah met the Daughters at 1994's Billboard Music Awards in 1994, the first thing she said was "That 'Shitty Situation' song is the bomb." Their sophomore album, Gamers, featured "All Caught Up," which dealt with AIDS: Ain't that a bitch?/I'll put this motherfucker in the dirt/If he done gave me anything, a pistol put him worse/I can't believe I fucked around with that, and came up short/Without no beanie on the penie now I'm all caught up. In the past, men have cropped up on the Daughters' albums like sinister, leering figures: people who lead their girlfriends into a violent, criminal underworld, or sire children and run off when they aren't infecting women with fatal diseases.
On The Nutcracker Suite, the Daughters kick their gender commentary up to the next level of scandalousness. "Kill My Nigga" turns the tables on domestic abusers. On the song's hook, the MCs chant over a crackling, whining beat: Bleed 'im/Stab 'im/Slash 'im/Kill 'im. Goldee -- who joins the Daughters on the track along with Baby Doll, another up-and-coming East Bay rapper -- says "The idea is that if a chick's with her dude, and he's an abusive partner, she'll just pop 'Kill My Nigga' in the CD player, and he gonna be like, 'Bitch, you tryin' to kill me?' And she gonna be like, 'Nah, I'm just vibin' with the music, you know.' And maybe he'll chill out, because he'll think, 'Wow, that chick just might be crazy.'"
Special One says that the rage in that song derives from personal experience: A former boyfriend tried to stab her on one occasion, and knocked out her teeth on her 21st birthday. "We still talk," she says. "He wants to take credit for turning me into a lesbian."
For her part: Goldee seems energized when she hears "Kill My Nigga" reverberating on Fred's stereo at Peekaboo Studios: "Ooh, that's deep. It gives me chills."
Jamaica spends weekday mornings at the Dogged Outt Productions studio on 3rd Street in Potrero Hill, munching on Cup o' Noodles and 25-cent packs of orange Doritos while her brother and his crew smoke blunts, drink 40s, and diddle on ProTools. The walls of the studio are covered with cut-outs of honey-skinned women in bikinis, along with posters announcing albums by such local turf rap artists as Louie Loc, Kev Kelly, Playa Mac, and the Straight Outta Hunters Point soundtrack. Two Terminator speakers sit front and center on a high shelf above the computer, heaving and caving in with the thrust of a perennially heavy bass. The couch, stove, and dishwater-gray rug are cluttered with A.1. barbecue sauce bottles, upended MK-4902 keyboards, soccer trophies, old boots, an econo-pack of cornflakes, blank videotapes, CDRs, and copies of Stuff magazine -- in other words, titties galore, and more beautiful big booty girls.
Isaac Alexander (aka Coujo) started Dogged Outt -- then Eight Bit Crappy Productions -- in 1989 with his friend Emmet. In 1996, the Dogged Outt crew recorded its first album, Bay Area Crime Diaries, on a cassette tape. "We used to just hang a mic from the light fixture on the back porch," Isaac says, waving his hand at the rear end of the studio. "That was our sound booth." Dogged Outt the label released its first compilation, Tha Route of All Evil, on the underground market last year, followed by Jinicydle's debut, Ghetto Tactics. While Jinicydle delivered a strong, convincingly homicidal performance, the real ghetto tactics belonged to Jamaica, whose guest raps as Mak Diddy were the best thing about the album. Having ushered in a solid hip-hop fanbase and a modicum of critical exposure, Isaac is now pushing ahead full throttle to drop Jamaica's album, tentatively called Both Sides of the Game, this fall. Isaac claims that he's never really liked any other female artist, even in mainstream hip-hop: "I wasn't set out to put out a female rapper on my label, but when I heard Jamaica, she was the one of the tightest artists that I'd ever heard, period."
In the makeshift studio, Isaac taps on his computer, and "Death Wish" resonates from the speakers. Cradled over a low-slung armchair, Jamaica bobs her head and mouths the words to her own songs, but she flinches a little when Isaac cues up "One Night Stand," which sets an African drumbeat against a spare keyboard track and Jamaica's remarkably vulnerable vocals: Just for one night, I'll be your girl/A one-night stand, that's all it has to be/Put your tongue in places, you can make me cream ... /Just for one night, boy/Don't try to fight, boy.
Obviously, this song is about wanting to get into a guy's pants, but Jamaica has a song, "Maica, Maica," about girl-on-girl love, too. The hook is a woman singing: Maica, Maica, you drive me crazy, I just want to be your lady. As she is always trying to be a little outside of the roles that society cultivates for her, Jamaica seems to be flirting with an open-ended sexuality. But she's also unsure about whether she wants a romantic relationship, or just a person to value her: Jamaica's current answering machine greeting has the artist singing in her gloomy, gospel voice, Ooooohhh, I want you to myself/And I don't want anybody else/Soooo, if you want me, come and let me know/And we could get it cra-a-ackin, fo' sho'. Asked if she's really looking for love, the starry-eyed MC merely shrugs. "I'm just trying to get some attention."

England v Argentina - Talking points
England prepare to face a physical and motivated Argentina as they bid to extend their Test winning run when the two sides collide at Twickenham on Saturday.
The Pumas will be inspired by their determination to avoid the World Cup's group of death by beating England, which would see them climb from ninth in the world rankings to as high as fifth.
Here, Press Association Sport takes a look at five talking points ahead of the match.
Eddie Jones' England are creeping ever closer to the nation's record number of Test wins of 14 set under Sir Clive Woodward and will draw level with the World Cup-winning team should they topple Argentina and Australia. Jones sees no value in discussing the record, describing it only as media talk, but it remains a special milestone.
Jones insists England have failed to produce a single world-class player since Jonny Wilkinson and it is hard to dispute his claim. There is genuine optimism, however, that a number of the current squad will soon be elevated into that category - among them Owen Farrell, George Ford and Billy Vunipola.
Elliot Daly has excelled against South Africa and Fiji this autumn, swapping between outside centre and left wing to demonstrate in the first two starts of his international career that he can perform a vital utility role for England. By the time Australia have been and gone on December 3, his true quality will be known.
Just as Joe Launchbury is banned for two weeks for kicking a Fijian opponent in the head, George Kruis returns from the ankle surgery that threatened to end his involvement in the autumn series. Kruis has not played since Saracens' victory over Toulon, but he is confident he will be able to hit the ground running.
Argentina have completed over 50 long-haul flights due to their Rugby Championship commitments and the Jaguares' participation in Super Rugby. It has been an exhausting year and the challenge is to tap into their reserves of stamina for one final hurrah.

Smokey Robinson & The Miracles
I Second That Emotion
Smokey Robinson & The Miracles
I Second That Emotion
Smokey Robinson had found himself a new songwriting partner. One of his first collaborations with Motown newcomer Al Cleveland (a former member of The Halos, a New York doo-wop group whose Nag was a '61 hit) was yet another smash for Smokey's Miracles, whose non-stop hit streak in 1966-67 had included Going To A Go-Go, (Come 'Round Here) I'm The One You Need, The Love I Saw In You Was Just A Mirage, and the impossibly tender More Love.
Smokey and Al accidentally stumbled across the clever title of one of the Miracles' top all-time sellers as Robinson tracked down just the right gift for his wife Claudette, who still contributed her sweet harmonies to the group (rounded out by Bobby Rogers, Ronnie White, and Pete Moore) when they entered the studio.
"We were Christmas shopping one day in a department store," says Smokey. "You know, there's an old saying, 'I second the motion.' So we were talking to this girl behind the counter about something, and Al says, 'Yeah, I second that emotion!' And we started laughing, because he had made that grammatical error." Thanks to co-producer Cleveland's slip of the lip, that clerk behind the jewelry counter at Hudson's unwittingly witnessed the inspiration for an enduring soul classic.
I Second That Emotion was brisk and danceable, with Funk Brother Eddie Willis and The Miracles' Marv Tarplin's liquid guitar runs winding around another sinuous James Jamerson bass line, more sly wordplay from Smokey, and the Miracles' delicious harmonies. It was their third R&B chart-topper (Shop Around and You've Really Got A Hold On Me preceded it) and sailed to #4 pop, the group's highest placement there since their very first hit for the fledgling Motown empire, Shop Around, back in 1961.

KUALA KUBU BARU: It was a traumatic experience for stall owner Normah Ninggal, 48, when she heard a loud noise and witnessed several cars parked next to her food stall disappeared into the ground in an early morning landslide near Taman Idaman in Serendah today.
Shocked, she and her children ran as fast as they could towards their house nearby while the ground continued to shake, revealing a large sinkhole.
"My children and I just ran towards our house and we can see the trees shaking and the ground suddenly opened up and caved in.
"Right now, I am just thankful that my family is safe although I may have lost my stall to the tragedy," she said.
Another resident, Amirul Hakim, 18, said he was stunned and literally froze up upon seeing the stalls and cars falling into the football-field-sized sinkhole one after another.
"It was a shocking sight. We can even hear the soil moving...I think this is the first time a landslide has occurred in Serendah.
Meanwhile, his friend Mohd Fareez Hanudin, 21, was injured with minor cuts and was sent to the Selayang Hospital.
He was on his motorcycle when the landslide occurred.
At least 10 vehicles were reportedly buried in the landslide.
Police have declared the landslide area as Red Zone and 340 residents were given until 1.45pm to evacuate the area.

"No need for a CBI probe. Judicial verdict in the case has come. This is our party stand," CPI(M) general secretary Prakash Karat said in Delhi. CPI(M) state secretary Pinarayi Vijayan also denounced the nonagenarian leader's position on the matter, saying that what he had demanded in the letter was not the party's line.
Causing deep embarrassment to the party,Achuthanandan had yesterday written to Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, supporting a CBI probe into the murder case,over which the slain leader's wife K K Rema had gone on fast, which she called off after the UDF government accepted her demand in principle. Though CPI(M) leaders initially sought to play it down by casting doubts about the authenticity of such a letter, Achuthanandan himself confirmed having written it, putting the party in a bind.
"Yes I did write a letter... Let the party discuss it," was how Achuthanandan responded when reporters confronted him with the question whether his act did not amount to breach of party discipline. Earlier also, the difference between Achuthanandan and the CPI(M) state unit controlled by Vijayan on the issue had come to the fore.
A CPI(M) rebel, who floated a parallel Left outfit called Revolutionary Marxist Party in his home turf Onchiyam in north Kerala, Chandrasekharan was hacked to death in May 2012. Last month, a special court sentenced 11 persons, three of them local CPI(M) functionaries, to life imprisonment. Rema had alleged that CPI(M) bigwigs were involved in the conspiracy to murder Chandrasekheran. CPI(M) had held that ordering a fresh probe would be illegal and politically motivated.

Great programming and direction, next time put more effort into your drawings, I know you can do it :)

A good mini-game for someone that feels like killing time. If this is one of your first projects, then the score should be higher, because it's pretty hard to program.

Mark Buehrle pitched in the 476th game of his major-league career here Wednesday night against the Boston Red Sox.
The five-time all-star has hurled more than 3,000 innings and is closing in on 200 career wins, with a perfect game and a no-hitter to his credit over 15 big-league seasons.
The man knows no fear.
Marcus Stroman, Drew Hutchison and Aaron Sanchez, Buehrle's still wet-behind-the-ear comrades on the Toronto Blue Jays, have not even combined to throw for 260 big-league innings.
In his prime, Buehrle used to polish off close to that in a single season.
The Stroman-Hutchison-Sanchez triumvirate also knows no fear, only their bravado is based more on what they have not experienced more than anything else.
In Toronto's final game before Thursday's non-waiver trade deadline, Buehrle looked more like the first-half Buehrle as the Blue Jays (59-50) polished off the lifeless Red Sox (48-60) 6-1 at Fenway Park.
For Buehrle, who was 10-6 by the all-star break, it was his first victory in almost two months as the streaking Blue Jays completed the three-game sweep over their reeling American League East rivals.
The Blue Jays will now conclude their 10-game road trip in Houston beginning Thursday night in the first of a four-game set against the Astros.
The Blue Jays have now won five straight and 10 of their past 12 and continue to hold down second place as they try to haul in the Baltimore Orioles, who are stationed in first.
Should the Blue Jays stand pat by the time Thursday's 4 p.m. (ET) trade deadline rolls around, it will signal that general manager Alex Anthopoulos is confident that the makeup of his pitching staff can withstand the pressures of a second-half pennant race.
That makeup includes the two greybeards in Buehrle, 35, and R.A. Dickey, 39, along with J.A. Happ, who is 31.
Stroman and Hutchison occupy the other two spots in the rotation.
Stroman, the confident rookie, is only 23 but performing like he is the ace of the staff.
Hutchison, while not technically a rookie, is also 23.
Hutchison, as his 7-9 record would indicate, has pitched inconsistently. But he is still working on completing his first full season in the majors after Tommy John surgery curtailed his rookie year in 2012.
Sanchez, the starter-in-waiting, is 22 and only a week or so into the start of his big-league career.
The Blue Jays are breaking Sanchez in out of the bullpen and he, too, has looked solid in a relief role in a very small sample size.
As the season wears on and the games become more meaningful for the Blue Jays should they remain in the playoff hunt, pitching coach Pete Walker said the inexperience of the trio could actually be a blessing.
"Ignorance can be bliss," Walker said before Wednesday's game. "They don't know what's out there really yet. They're just taking it game to game and the experiences are all new and fresh to them and they're enjoying the moment."
Right now, Walker said, their youth is not an issue.
"I think the experience they're getting now is invaluable," he said. "Being able to pitch in Boston, New York – on the road in tight situations – gives them a lot of confidence. They haven't been awed at all by the situation.
"The guys are very confident in their ability and I think they tend to shine when the times get tough and the expectations are even higher."
It was a surreal atmosphere that permeated throughout creaky Fenway on Wednesday as the Red Sox sent Triple-A call-up Brandon Workman to the mound to start in place of Jon Lester.
Lester, the Boston fan favourite, was scratched Tuesday night from the start amid countless trade rumours involving the Boston ace, including reported strong interest by the Blue Jays.
It was a difficult situation for Workman to have to negotiate and, predictably, he struggled.
Workman walked the first two Toronto batters of the first inning and they both came in to score to provide the Blue Jays with a quick 2-0 lead.
Workman was the author of his own misfortune in the Toronto fifth inning, where his throw to first base after fielding a sacrifice bunt by Jose Reyes was way off line and drifted into right field for an error.
That allowed Anthony Gose to come all the way around from second base to score the first of three Toronto runs in the frame, all unearned, that put the Blue Jays comfortably ahead 5-0.
That was more than enough support for Buehrle as he would cruise through 62/3 innings, allowing the lone Boston run off six hits to improve his record to 10-7.

Discussion in 'Odds & Ends' started by djsiva, Jan 30, 2008.
I thought they were getting along just fine.
Where did you hear this?
Source? Link please??
I just can't find this anywhere
source please.
Whether its true or not, I always thought Jimmy would be the one to walk away, not Roddick.
He really isn't a 'traditional' coach, doesn't need the money, doesn't like to travel much, etc.
And I don't think he likes backing someone who can't win a big event as well, considering how insanely competitive he was.
Ha, I called it right after his loss. I also agree with Moose that I felt Jimbo would just walk away.
Anyway, I hope Roddick rehires Gilbert.
Moose, I know about connorse's 100+ titles and 1200+ wins in his career and I agree with you on that - he being competitive. But lets face it, it does not mean great player will be a great coach. he looked drunk for the most part of the Ao, I dont want to judge him, he is a good guy and I am sure about that but I dont know if his name can contribute to Arod's way back to the top. I really dont know if that road to the topis a 1% possibility right now but as I ssaid the great connors player does not equal great connnors coach.
It's not Connors, the problem is Roddick - AR started off ok, moving closer to the baseline, hitting out more on the bkhnd & the results were there.,but soon he went back to his old ways & the rest is history.
Lol. I would love to see this article!
Please but please, who is on the avatar?
I agree Arod is a stubbern sob but you know what,connors is not much of a coach either.
This is probably the article that started this rumor. It says that Connors will help Wozniacki, but it does not say that he has left Roddick.
Roddick will never fire Connors. Connors will dump Roddick.
a coach is not a miracle worker. Suppose you beat me in tennis today. I go and hire the best coach available. The next time we play, there is no guarantee that you won't beat me again.
Hahahahaha as predicted, both will going their own way at last.
Maybe Roddick will hire Gilbert again. Hopefully he does.
Is there a source on this aside from the above story?
what language is that and what does it say?
well is he or is he not? fired that is.......
don't matter who roddicks coach is, roddick has to be able to execute the game plan. roddick just hasn't got a champions head. it was pathetic to watch roodick pushing his forehand on important points in his AO loss.
forget gilbert go get tarik. tarik got him playing aggresive when he came up out of juniors where he was a pusher. tarik made him play on or inside the baseline and really use the serve. gilbert came around at the right time and might have tought him a few things but it was tarik who got him to the show.
Gilbert "belongs" to Britain, doesn't he?
I've seen posts saying no-one can use him, aside from British players.
Why did Roddick fire Gilbert anyway? Wasn't he #1 when Brad was his coach?
im not exactly sure what happened, but i know they dont speak to one another at all nowadays.
What the hell does "getting along" have to do with anything? Connors is supposed to be a coach, or at least a motivational mentor of some sort. He's not Roddick's "escort."
Before Jimbo came on board, Roddick was a talented-but-struggling 2nd tier talent with a huge serve, a deteriorating ground game, and a tendency to come apart at the seams any time his opponent refused to be awe-struck by his serve.
Today, he's a talented-but-struggling 2nd tier talent with a huge serve, a deteriorating ground game, and a tendency to come apart at the seams any time his opponent refuses to be awe-struck by his serve.
"Getting along" or not, the partnership is paying zero in the way of tangible dividends for Roddick, and he'd have to be a world class shmuck to continue paying for no results. Doesn't matter whose fault it is -- if the greatest coach in the world isn't helping you to win more, then he's worthless to you as a coach.
The article is from a danish newspaper called "Politiken". But it was brought in all danish news papers (Wozniacki is danish) about a week ago.
It only says, that Connors will help her up to the big tournaments. A few weeks a year.
She will still be coached by her father and other danes.
For the same reason that Agassi fired Gilbert: Gilbert's treatment of people. Gilbert had a sense of entitlement, from what I hear, when he was with these players. The rumor I heard (again, key word 'rumor') is that with Agassi, the end came for Gilbert with how Gilbert treated a hotel or restaurant employee. I guess Gilbert was a jerk to the employee of the establishment, in front of Agassi, and Agassi gave him a talking to afterwards. Supposedly Agassi said 'Don't you forget that the reason that you're getting this treatment is because of me. When you act that way, it is a poor reflection on me.'
I can see Gilbert being this way. He is a no BS kind of guy, and he shoots straight, often to his detriment. But that's also the reason why he's been so successful as a coach. He cuts through the sh**, and doesn't sugar coat things. But as all top athletes have somewhat of an ego, you can see why an attitude like that would not last long. Thusly why he didn't last long with Roddick or Murray, as they both have incredibly large egos. I think he lasted longer with Agassi because Agassi is a very patient and nice guy, because he and Agassi were friends before coaching, and because this was Gilbert's first foray into coaching at a high level.
I will say one thing for Gilbert: aside from his supposed attitude, the guy can work WONDERS for players. Look no further than the results: both of his guys that he stayed with for longer (Agassi & Roddick) both got to #1. Murray would have gotten higher if not for the wrist injury.
Also, I have a gut feeling that someone highly ranked is going to pick up Gilbert and shoot to to the top, and I think it will happen soon. Regardless of Gilbert's supposed attitude, the guy gets excellent results. Period.
Knowing from the internet domain .dk, I would assume it's dannish...from Denmark.
<Mod Mode> I moved this to O&E. If there's any substantiation of this rumor, I'll move it back. But the OP implies action was taken which nobody seems to be able to verify. </Mod Mode>
This is interesting. I know it's just rumors but still...if Gilbert has that type of attitude and he treated Roddick like that, it's obvious he was only gonna last until Roddick became successful and got an ego of his own. I can see Roddick treating people badly as well.
Winning a GS, reaching no.1 and staying within the top 5 for most of his carrer is hardly second tier
He should coach davydenko
ha ha... i like that.....
a good teacher can't make a dumb student becomes a smart one...
Roddick DID NOT fire Connors.
Q. Maybe your theory on having your coach on-site with you at matches? He wasn't there in San Jose. Some guys bring their coaches maybe more often. Just curious about that relationship, how that's been going?
ANDY RODDICK: Well, Jimmy and I, I think it's going to be more preparation based this year. I knew when we started working together that Jimmy is not going to come out of retirement and travel 35 weeks a year. That's just not something that he's going to do.
But at the same time, I want someone who I know, you know, when we're talking about how to progress to a semi or final of a Grand Slam know what they're talking about and have been there before.
It's something that has to be thought about as far as what weeks we're going to work together and how they're going to be beneficial. You know, but I'd probably say it's gonna be more preparation based and more based on practice weeks this year.
Q. I imagine you talk a lot on the phone. I think you mentioned that in San Jose last year.
ANDY RODDICK: Yeah, we do.
Q. Will he be in San Jose this year or not?
ANDY RODDICK: I don't think so. I think I'm going to be with him probably the five days leading up to the tournament and then I'll probably come with my regular crew there.
But, you know, he has the Tennis Channel on his TV. When I'm on TV, he watches it and we talk on the phone, kind of analyze matches as we would as if he was there.

The fear of a defamation lawsuit based on a negative reference is over-rated. Telling the truth and expressing an opinion in good faith are generally fair game, even if they don't paint a flattering picture of a former employee. Still, many employers would rather avoid giving references at all (except maybe to verify a former employee's dates of employment, title, and salary) than give a negative one. While this practice is not very helpful to the prospective employer, at times, it can even be downright harmful.
Cautionary case: A medical center received a detailed questionnaire from a health care facility seeking a reference for a physician it had formerly employed. Instead of answering questions about the doctor's judgment, his ability to perform, any signs of behavior or personality problems, or disciplinary actions taken against him, the center drafted a short letter verifying
the doctor's job title and dat...(register to read more)

When I first started in the technology business, the practice of marketing differently in various geographies was common. The same product might be sold in Canada for 10% more than it cost in the United States. And watch out if you were European – 100% mark-ups were common. Ostensibly companies localized products for various markets, which justified the mark-up. The reality, however, was that English-language product sold in Canada was virtually identical to that sold in the US, French-language product sold in Canada was virtually identical to France, and so on. The result was a thriving "grey-market" where US product would be imported into Canada, and French-Canadian product re-exported to France.
Thankfully that practice has mostly died. The advent of the internet brought that change. That is, until now.
You see, Apple's app store is reviving the practice of restricting access to products in different markets. Two very large corporations this week have released products that are only available to US customers – News Corp, with the Daily for iPad, and Microsoft, with OneNote for iPhone / iPad. Microsoft event sent me email inviting me to try OneNote, which is apparently free "for a limited time". But when I went to actually install the app, iTunes said no-way, Jose!
Boo. Hiss.

Dynasty Tactics 2 for Sony PlayStation 2 (PS2)
Dynasty Tactics 2 once again challenges players to unite ancient China's splintered Three Kingdoms under one rule. KOEI's turn-based strategy game now features multiple storylines and endings as well as three times the tactical formations found the original. With careful planning, players can take one military unit and create up to ten "tactical combo" links. These links are triggered from one specific tactic, based in part on the unit's position relative to the enemy, which can automatically lead to additional attacks. Causing an opposing army to retreat to a position already occupied by friendly forces would be an example of a tactical combo. Joining the original's cast of characters is the mighty warrior Lu Bu, and players can now acquire new tactics by entering special training camps during the campaign. Players are also free to solicit troops for their armies, assign specific tactics to subordinate officers (previously only leaders could use tactics), and join forces with other commanders to perform special maneuvers. Players are graded on their overall skill at the end of each stage, in such areas as complete defeats, number of linked tactics, ingenuity, leadership, and more. The overall goal is to unify China within a period of 30 days.

You have a TON on your plate! Its no wonder you are exhausted! *hugs* Today, I seriously passed out on the couch, just sitting down a couple minutes. And Im a SAHM... I dont have dead lines nor do I have to leave my house at a certain time, yet Im totally beat! So I can only imagine how you feel and how you do it. Give yourself some slack. Do your best, but make sure you are getting what you need (like sleep) The first trimester is the worst as far as fatigue (with the exception of the last 3 weeks of preg) in my opinion. If you can get through these next 5 weeks or so, I think you your energy will bounce back. Good luck and hang in there!!!!!
