We have often talked about the flawless love stories of famous people around the world. Their perfect wedding ceremonies, to adorable proposals and even the decades of unconditional love, are few of many things that win our hearts.
One such story is that of tennis legend Roger Federer and his wife Mirka. One of the greatest to ever play the sport, there is no tennis fan in the world who might not know of his career achievements. But his greatest feat might still be managing to marry his gorgeous wife Mirka. But how did this love story begin? Read on.
How did they meet?
The young adorable couple met way back at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Mirka at the time was actually engaged to an Arab, according to Italian publication Gioia, but eventually started dating Roger.
Federer had also once revealed that the couple shared their first kiss on the last day on the Sydney Olympics in 2000. The couple tied the knot back in 2009. Though Roger might be the king when it comes to the tennis court, but the world has repeatedly been in awe of his adoration towards Mirka.
Who is Mirka?
Mirka is a former tennis player who managed to reach an career high ranking of 76 way back in 2001, just after meeting a young Roger Federer. Born in Slovakia, her family immigrated to Switzerland when she was just two.
A persistent foot injury forced Mirka to quit the game in 2002, after which she became Roger's public relations manager and handled most of his media affairs.
As if the couple isn't picture perfect enough, four little children make for the amazing Federer clan. A month before they got married, the couple had announced that they were going to be parents, to the surprise of having their first set of twin daughters, Myla Rose and Charlene Riva. The beautiful boys were then born in 2014.
Though Mirka is currently busy with the kids, initially she never missed any of Federer's greatest moments on the court. Clearly a sign of a true supporting partner.
Even though Roger spends most of his days away on tennis duties, the 37-year-old great is known to insist that his family travels with him for his games, so he can be closer to them.
Earlier this year, Federer spoke to The Sunday Times and mentioned that changing "a ton of nappies" between matches was worth to live his "dream" with Mirka.
Federer also said that he has a strong rule of sleeping by Mirka's side all the time. Something he stands by very strictly.
The story of Roger and Mirka Federer will always bring a smile to our face, and make us want to believe in true love unconditionally.

Kate launched 'inkpi designs' in 2016, after her sister travelled to Mexico for Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, in an effort to halt progression of her disease. Kate wanted to create something that would capture Anna's strength and determination to leave her shadow (Multiple Sclerosis) behind and support her ongoing fundraising work for Kiss Goodbye to MS.
Fast forward a few years and Anna's MS remains stable and Kate's two favourite inkpi hoodies are still going strong, despite being on constant rotation since August 2016! 'I am really proud of our decision to use organic, sustainable materials and believe that the feel good factor that comes with making good choices makes our clothes feel even softer!'
What size should I buy?
We recommend comparing the fit of your favourite tee or jumper to our size chart. Tip: If in doubt we recommend going slightly larger, rather than smaller.
Where do the proceeds of this product go?
Every time you purchase an 'Actions Speak Louder' hoodie, we will donate 50% of the proceeds to the cause closest to your heart. Simply include the details of your chosen charity in the 'notes' box as you check out.
We will remind you to nominate a charity in the order confirmation email, but if we don't receive details of your chosen charity within 24 hours, we will donate the money to Kiss Goodbye to MS.

Arguably the best way to scratch that action show itch, Production I.G.'s Psycho-Pass was a smart series that gave a wonderful mix of science fiction, ultra-violence, and the timeless classic buddy cop ingredients you see grace cable television. This instant hit was a little bit Robocop, a dash of Blade Runner, and plenty of that appeal from the "seen too much" cop being paired up with the hotshot rookie like in Seven. With fans incredibly split on the sequel series due to issues with creative liberties (which are actually not always a bad thing, but in this case, they certainly weren't the most popular) taken by the team thanks to the lack of source material, most were turned off to any further anime being made for the series that caught lightning in a bottle. The series wasn't finished, however, as in the winter of 2015, Psycho-Pass: The Movie was released in Japan. In a really impressive show of good faith, the original writer for the first series was brought back in Gen Urobuchi (who also was responsible for writing blockbusters Puella Magi Madoka Magica and Fate/Zero's two seasons) instead of leaving him to a story supervision role like in Psycho-Pass 2.
Getting a short US theatrical release in Mar 2016 and later a home release later that year in June, the dub for this film was directed by Zach Bolton (Dragon Ball Z, Soul Eater) and temporarily by Cris George (Ghost in the Shell: Arise, Soul Eater Not!). The dub brought back their whole cast for the run, and everyone knocks the pins down with their unique style and cements this cast as a truly one-of-a-kind collection of voice talent.
Kate Oxley (Eruka Frog in Soul Eater, Catherine Elle Armstrong in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood) as Akane Tsunemori
When the first season of this show kicked off, Tsunemori was a brand new police officer and hadn't seen the craziness she would end up seeing throughout the course of twenty two episodes. As it goes with cyberpunk cop stories, the things the inspector sees are brutal, and the conspiracies she uncovers are scarring. Nevertheless, she holds her resolve and actually manages to make waves in her new career field. By the time the film picks up, she has been hardened by her experiences and has a polished role working for Japan's trusted enforcement agency.
When a character undergoes such a change, it is up to the actor to decide how they want to approach the performance. The safe bet is usually to just tread water and keep the delivery the same- after all, no news is good news most of the time. The riskier option, of course, is to change up the voice or make noticeable adjustments to hammer home the developments in a character. No, it doesn't have to result in the actor running around in a nasally bass voice like Christian Bale's Batman performance, but anime fans in particular are relentless on dub actors for taking creative liberties in a character. Maybe it does/doesn't happen with Japanese voice actors (I don't know Japanese well enough to really judge much more than "Goodness, I really am irritated by these Black Clover voice actors screaming a lot."), but I remember how brutal fans were whenever an actor didn't sound the exact same for an OVA or if a new actor was brought in and, heaven forbid, they decide to play the character how a combination of them and the direction team feel is right instead of somehow sounding exactly like the old voice.
Almost as evident as the very first scene, Oxley really impresses with a much more stern, confident, and stoic delivery as Tsunemori. It isn't so daring that it risks the wolves coming out of their den to nitpick, but it is fitting for what the character endured. Akane is not the same cop she was starting off, and all of these traumatic experiences and deep soul dives have given her a lot more strength. Even those who have not seen anything in the series before and are going in blind can gather by Oxley's adjustments to the character that this was someone who certainly has been through the rough and back. I can't speak on her performance in Psycho-Pass 2 as I have not seen it (my friends have advised to go straight from the first season to the movie, but I won't really fight on a particular hill for that argument here), but I assume she probably made this adjustment then, getting a lot of experience with delivering lines in this particular version of the character. The skill shows, and this feels like a very welcomed take on a developed character.
There is a surprisingly large amount of screentime for Tsunemori alone, and that gives an opportunity for Oxley to work as the narrator for some savvy sleuthing. There is one scene in particular I really like where the ace inspector is covertly hacking into a mainframe to get down to the bottom of a hunch she has. Rather than just letting the visuals do all of the work, Oxley actually makes the reasoning for the actions not come off as redundant- something even live action works that deal with investigation fall for. When she isn't trying to figure out the mystery of her hosting country, she has heated debates with the other members of the cast and/or is getting tangled with guerillas. While the focus comes off of the investigator for the second act of the film, I really enjoyed what she had to offer in this film. It is an absolute treat to get to see inspired performances, and these sort of improvements Oxley made are the ones that keep me coming back to enjoy fantastic dubs.
Robert McCollum (Jellal Fernandes in Fairy Tail, Kazuma Yagami in Kaze no Stigma) as Shinya Kogami
Remember when people were getting excited for Justice League and there was that one guy who was super into Superman and he actually thought that Superman would not be in it? The promo art came out that clearly had him in it, and yet he never saw it? I like to think that there was someone who went into this film actually convinced that Kogami would not be here because of the way the first season ended for the show. For the sake of keeping the article spoiler free, I will boil the plot down to this: Kogami is in a race to be the most loose cannon cop who doesn't play by the rules.
McCollum had to have the most fun out of everyone on the cast with this character, because he hams it up to fit the ethos above. I wrote about it before, but Kogami almost comes off as a parody of a cop film protagonist more times than not. Given his situation in this film, the silliness should not have the same effect, however it somehow still fits...out in a jungle...yeah, it doesn't make any sense and has no business being as hilarious as it is. I understand this is a serious role in a hyper-violent drama, but you can't help but to love McCollum being the embodiment of all of the edgy cops to ever be written. All that is missing is a super unhealthy amount of chain smoking and the character would be enshrined in the hall of fame for cop protagonists.
All of the positive traits in how Tsunemori develops can be given thanks to Kogami as her first partner, and somehow the character development is not exclusive to the former rookie. Kogami gets a really emotionally charged scene and there are some phenomenal lines from a character that is usually pretty predictable. I don't mean to disrespect the role or anything when I say how corny it is, as McCollum is a really fun voice actor and brings out a lot of the exciting pace of the chase in the action bits. In his big scene here, he is going toe to toe with another actor (see immediately below) and makes it a candidate for one of the most rewatchable dubbed scenes in the series. I only wish this character got more screentime, even though it is obvious that this was entirely about his former partner and not him. Don't fault McCollum though, he did fantastic here.
Major Attaway (Urogue in One Piece, Ton Jravolta in Space Dandy) as Desmond Rutaganda
The role of "action anime movie bad guy" is one of the most overlooked roles in the industry- chances are there are <30 lines for the character, most of the sequences with the character don't have any dialogue for them, and sadly once the credits roll, the characters are forgotten about when people look back on a franchise as a whole. After all, people constantly bicker about which films are canon and which ones are filler, and how seriously they should be considered. After all, when was the last time you saw an anime pull of a Transformers: The Movie where the main character dies and stays dead throughout the rest of the airing series (besides the finale)?
Besides having one of the coolest names I've ever written about, Attaway plays opposite of McCollum for what feels like only a brief moment, but in reality it takes up the spotlight of an entire act, nay, the entire film. Kind of like those mercenaries in Black Lagoon, the government that is totally not trying to outright say it is Vietnam hires Rutaganda and his team to take care of the edgiest of the edgy and his Japanese inspector friend- Kogami and Tsunemori. I'm almost certain that no one else on his team speaks more than a combined four lines, and even then he has two or three exchanges max. Attaway makes high efficiency off of his usage, however, as he tears off for a pretty intense torture scene between his character and McCollum's. The bad guy role in an action anime is a typically thankless job, but having an instant classic scene in a high profile film is a pretty good accolade.
Jason Liebrecht (Yato in Noragami, Train Heartnet in Black Cat) as Nicholas Wong
Speaking of bad guys in action anime, Wong is a character that fits the necessary role of "guy who won't get his hands dirty but is totally behind everything bad". Probably best known for his hit role as Yato in Noragami, Liebrecht manages to control the tempo of this character well and dial up the crazy when he needs it most. I love it when a voice actor hides their real range for a long stretch of the role and then really starts hammering it home when it comes time to throw the hand down. No, he doesn't have any big scenes that will keep you coming back like Attaway did, but Liebrecht does a lot in the short time this film gives him.
Cherami Leigh (Kudelia Aina Bernstein in Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans, Kazari Uiharu in A Certain Scientific Railgun) as Mika Shimotsuki
Probably the only name that has come up on more than one occasion with Dubs w/ Dil here, Leigh has cemented herself as a bona fide all-star in the industry. I've had to write her roles so many times that I have decided to just go with two roles in bigger names that hadn't been listed yet. Probably best known this year for one-two punch in video games as Makoto in Persona 5 and also A2 in NieR: Automata, Leigh has stolen the show and made countless anime dubs worth listening to. From what I'm told, she gets quite a bit of mileage out of the character Shimotsuki, Tsunemori's new co-worker in Psycho-Pass 2. Similarly to how you can tell Oxley was comfortable with her character by the time this film's dub was up, you can certainly tell there is a lot of feel for Leigh's character as well.
If this franchise hits every beat of a classic cop flick, then surely it needs the skeptical co-worker that gives off that "I can do your job much better, punk!" vibe. Thankfully, Shimotsuki covers that need and does it in glorious fashion. I was in stitches over the recurring theme of her impatiently explaining things to Tsunemori and the camera zooming in on her index finger tapping along impatiently. Much like the rest of the cast here, there wasn't a whole lot of time for her to deliver lines, but Leigh shows up and dunks the scenes while they are there.
Josh Grelle (Armin Arlert in Attack on Titan, Fumikage Tokoyami in My Hero Academia) as Nobuchika Ginoza
Unfortunately, most of the characters from the original Psycho-Pass don't get more than one or two lines thanks to the plot sending Tsunemori to...Not-Vietnam. Minor Spoiler: once the team rendezvous with Tsunemori, the inspector's former boss Ginoza gets to have his own scene chasing down everyone's favorite loose cannon cop Kogami. Once stiff and the epitome of your boss who needs copies in by the time you go home tonight, Ginoza goes through a transformation not unlike the one Tsunemori did due to endgame events of the first season of Psycho-Pass. Similarly, Grelle makes some fantastic adjustments to his character and turns him into a witty, likeable character (something that his character had trouble with for some fans). There are a handful of great exchanges between both Oxley/Grelle and McCollum/Grelle that make me wish Ginoza had a bigger role. Regardless, he gives yet another layer into a fun dub film.
Lydia Mackay (Trisha Elric in Fullmetal Alchemist, Madam Red in Black Butler) as Shion Karanomori
Mackay is a name that might not immediately jump out to most, but her voice acting has been consistent throughout the 2000s. I can't stomp my foot enough for the role that she did in Fullmetal Alchemist because that ensures anyone who has heard the dub for arguably one of the most universally accepted anime of the 21st century has heard the Ft. Worth actress. Compared to a lot of the actors in the series, Mackay actually gets a bigger role than she did from the regular series. Playing essentially Q to Tsunemori's James Bond, Mackay gets two of the bigger sleuthing scenes in the movie. Any time someone working with computers can not make technobabble sound dry or forced, that is a major plus. I'm curious to see if Mackay will go off on another couple year stretch where she picks up a lot of hidden gem dubs. Here's hoping!
Somewhat baffling, fan favorite Yayoi Kunizuka, played by Lindsay Seidel (Nagisa Shiota in Assassination Classroom) had two one-liners, which is really odd for a character who had an entire backstory in the previous series. Linda Leonard plays the spooky high-up police commissioner Joshu Kasei- I'd like to talk more about her role, but it would entail spoilers. It is fascinating to me that Michael Federico has only ever been criminal turned philosophical scholar Jouji Saiga as he a fantastic voice. The rest of the cast that speaks more than one line would be huge spoilers, so I'm going to leave it up to the reader to decide if they want to look them up.
Oh and Jad Saxton is great as the overly cheery automated police system.
It is really tough to develop chemistry for the dub cast in an anime film, among all of the issues the difficult format presents. Case being that the film runs for 113 minutes, however that includes the credits (both the fantastic opening and your standard credit roll in the end) which have to pull it down to just above 100 minutes. Using the standard 24 minute episode format, you're only looking at two to three episodes tops for the amount of time for lines to be delivered. Factor in scene pacing and the fact that this is an action series, it is probably realistically more like two episodes worth of script. Everyone has such unique talent unlike most dubs here, so the mood and feel reflect fantastically. The team will always have the Psycho-Pass franchise under their belts to stand proudly by.
Psycho-Pass will always be one of the forgotten dubs of the early 10's- it didn't scream as loud as it could to get attention, nor did it have a fanbase that stayed faithful after the shaky waters of the second season (or so I am told, like I said I haven't seen the second season, but I am well aware of the divide it made in the fanbase of the anime). Maybe there will be a high profile run on a platform like Netflix, but even if there is not, this is a go-to anime for anyone looking to introduce someone to anime (given they can stomach the ultra-violence). The cast gives a one of a kind collection of talent that will stick out to whoever is watching the series in a way that would be perfect for beginners to the world of anime.
What is a dub you found to be the most fitting for newbies to anime? Is there a series you liked the dub to that might not have been very popular?
Thanks for the read, I'll be back before the holiday next time. I hope you have a fantastic weekend (or week if you're reading this during the week...I guess this isn't a great statement to make in these, but you get the idea).

Facing a steady climb in overdose deaths that has defied efforts to stem it, Hennepin County authorities are taking a new approach to the opioid epidemic with an education-focused campaign.
Last year saw a record 144 opioid-related overdose deaths. And with the drug now being laced with the powerful synthetic opioid fentanyl, Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek and his colleagues say the situation is a crisis.
"We thought increased public awareness, among other things, would make a dent last year," he said Tuesday at a news conference. "But we just didn't do a good enough job."
Stanek, joined by U.S. Attorney Andrew Luger, school officials, members of the medical community and the mother of an overdose victim, announced the yearlong initiative to fight heroin "because every death is preventable," Stanek said.
Although officers and paramedics saved many lives last year by administering Narcan, a new drug that immediately reverses the effects of an overdose, Stanek said first responders can't do it alone.
"We need a group of partners to hit the problem head-on," he said. "We need prevention, intervention, law enforcement efforts and even more public awareness."
The new campaign has been dubbed #NOverdose.
To give the public an inside look at the heroin problem, Stanek's office will issue monthly updates on overdose prevention and fatal overdoses, drug drop-off efforts and feedback from town hall meetings.
He also will push the Legislature to make the state Board of Pharmacy's online prescription drug monitoring system mandatory for health care providers.
Statewide, opioid overdoses reached 355 in 2015. And the 2016 spike in fentanyl deaths was highlighted when Prince was found dead in an elevator in Paisley Park studios in April. He was part of a 31 percent increase in opioid deaths that saw victims ranging from 16 to 98 years old.
U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar said Tuesday that she will continue her national support of innovative efforts like #NOverdose, which she hopes will stop addiction before it starts.
She was one of four senators who led major bipartisan legislation to combat prescription drug abuse and helped push through funding for treatment and prevention.
'Tragically common'
Colleen Ronnei of Chanhassen thought she dodged a bullet when her son, Luke, appeared to shake a crippling heroin addiction last year. Funny, kind and handsome, the 20-year-old used the drug to deal with anxiety and depression. It only took a couple of days for Luke to become addicted after a friend introduced him to the drug.
He kept his addiction quiet for months, finding the stigma too shameful to handle, she said. But eventually he completed treatment and went off to college in Arizona, maintaining a high GPA and coming home every three weeks for continued help. But hours before an appointment last January, his parents found him dead in his bedroom.
"His story is tragically common," Ronnei said. "He didn't want to be the poster boy for this crusade."
Luke Ronnei's alleged heroin dealer, Beverly Burrell, 30, of Maplewood has been charged with five counts of third-degree murder in connection with five overdose deaths, part of ongoing efforts to get dealers off the streets.
Prosecuting heroin traffickers was a top priority for Luger when he took over as U.S. attorney about three years ago. Although his office has arrested many dealers and has a better handle on how the drug is coming into Minnesota, sellers keep meeting demand on the streets and on the internet, he said.
"Our enemies keep stepping it up a notch," Luger said. "But the sheriff and myself have attended several national conferences this year to learn what we might be seeing next."
Not a big-city problem
The epidemic isn't just a law enforcement or criminal justice issue, said Dr. Charles Reznikoff, an addiction specialist at Hennepin County Medical Center.
There are several ways the medical community can help to reduce heroin use, including educating doctors on how to deal with a patient with an addiction, taking a more cautious approach when prescribing pain medication and providing better access to treatment, he said.
"We have conquered other addictions, so we can handle this one," he said. "Recovery does happen."
Preventing temptation needs to start with junior and high school students, said Holly Magdanz of the Hopkins School District. Alcohol and marijuana are still the top abuse concerns for the student population, but opioids are making a push, she said.
"Most kids aren't using heroin, and they have to know either through education or their parents that they are in the majority," she said.
Campaigns such as #NOverdose can have a significant impact, Magdanz said. The anti-tobacco campaigns of the past 20 years have seen smoking and chewing among teenagers decline significantly, she said.
Eden Prairie Police Chief Jim DeMann emphasized that heroin isn't only a big-city problem. His department handled seven overdose deaths last year.
Because the county hadn't seen rampant heroin use in several decades, Stanek was hoping the spike in overdoses would be short-lived.
"But I know that's not the case," he said. "We will keep on fighting."

Superman fixes and Cleveland Rocks
July 5, 2006
Dibs and Alec both made song suggestions for the Superman list. I've never really gotten into the Flaming Lips, probably because I've read that so many bands are the greatest band ever that I've only started to listen to bands that everyone says are terrible. The Captain and Tenille haven't let me down yet, so I'm going to stick to this one.
As for Dibs' song…Our Lady Peace, Superman's Dead. An absolute shonda on me for forgetting to include this song. I must have listened to this track every day in 8th grade (in fact my rail obsession probably has its genesis in the "the world's a subway, subway,–RIDE" denouement), and it remains the best musical suggestion that Danny Stein made to me, the other being the Offspring album Ixnay on the Hombre. This song captures all the emotions that 1993's epic storyline the Death of Superman failed to elicit. I really did sit and wonder Why-e-e-e-I Superman was dead, especially at the hands of a villain with absolutely no character development. Thankfully, the subsequent storylines, World Without a Superman and Return of Superman were highly entertaining, and Jurgens' later Superman/Doomsday prestige mini-series made Doomsday a palatable character (or, at least, a character). An absolutely phenomenal track.
As for the other part of the post…I spent the weekend in Cleveland at a wedding. I actually quite liked the deindustrialized flats area of Cleveland, and the demise of the rust belt. Nothing compares to the brown Cuyahoga river, though. Even though R.E.M.'s 1986 rocker "Cuyahoga" alerted me to the fact that the river was now a souvenir, skimmed blood red by industrial capacity, I wasn't quite compared for the grossness (grossosity?) of the Cleveland shoreline. It really made me appreciate the beauty of Lake Michigan, which does not catch on fire, and the bluish hue of the Chicago river, which only bubbles at one or two points within the city limits. Downstate though, is another story. No one ever said that having a river that runs backwards would play well in the sticks.
The second best part of the weekend-what can I say? I'm a sucker for weddings (or at least their open bars)-was the fact that the New York Yankees stayed at the same hotel that I did. All my Long Island relatives were starstruck beyond belief, and were constantly running into Mariano Rivera and Derek Jeter in elevators. I got to see Don Mattingly, who the New York media maintains beyond any semblance of reality should be in the Hall of Fame. I'm actually ok with this, as long as he goes in as a Seattle Mariner. I also got to see lots of aging baseball Annie's, with horrible dye jobs and skanky clothes. Who ever knew that Cleveland was paradise?

"You never know who's who in government these days or what they're up to," I said to spouse as we followed the evening news on the people's channel. "Like demons, they shape-shift all the time. Double Dipper Byrne is now minister of turnips and spawny capelin, Al 'the Pirate' Hawkins is now minister of unemployment. Codfish Crocker gave up his job to Double Dipper Byrne and then took Al 'the Pirate's' job, and Al 'the Pirate' took Double Dipper Byrne's job. And poor old Cathy Bennett, we don't know what happened to her."
"Yes, I see," said spouse by way of asking me to pipe down and pay attention to the news. Unlike myself, she doesn't like to rage at mindless drivel on TV.
"Cursing inanimate objects relieves stress," I mutter.
Spouse, by the way, has taken a part-time job at the neighborhood convenience store. When the minimum wage skyrocketed by fifteen cents to $11.15 an hour recently, she jumped at the opportunity. The owner of the store advised her that as she demonstrates initiative and hard work, he may bump her up to be the manager of marijuana sales in the spring, but wages will be the same until Dear leader sees fit to jack up the minimum wage by another fifteen cents.
With her advanced age and arthritis, part-time is all she can manage. But it helps to make ends meet especially when she comes home bearing grocery bags filled with stale bread and withered fruit.
I couldn't help observing that right after the fifteen-cent increase, Dear Leader, Duh-wite, awarded himself a $400,000 forgivable loan courtesy of the Newfoundland taxpayers.
"He's helping the poor people, in Deer Lake," said spouse.
An announcement by Al 'the Pirate' Hawkins, Minister of Unemployment, draws me back to the evening news. He announces a strategy to lure back home the sons and daughters of Newfoundland who have moved to other parts of Canada and the USA to avoid starvation. Al 'the Pirate' drones on about facilitating, aligning, demographic challenges, and growing the economy--I suspect with all the big words he's been talking to Dr Dale, Minister of Illiteracy. He talks about glad tidings of great joy in the future of our fair land but with his hang-dog look, you just know his heart's not in it.
"We'll offer them an incentive," he says. "It's called coming home."
He mumbles something about welcoming back everyone who is under 44 years of age.
"What about us," screams Spouse.
"There is no point in shouting at the TV," I advise her gently.
Al 'the Pirate' finishes up by giving us a website. We can go online and fill in a survey about coming home.
Spouse suggests we should fire up the dilapidated 2007 Toshiba laptop, pretend we're living in Scarborough, and complete the questionnaire.
I point out that we are right here in St. John's and it wouldn't be proper for us to pretend we are young Newfoundlanders living on the mainland making big money.
"We'll do it anyway," said spouse.
I was surprised by her devil-may-care attitude.
"It would be disloyal to Dear Leader," I said, 'not to mention being fractious, deceitful, and traitorous to our homeland."
To make a long story short, we went on-line and started to fill in the survey. Spouse pretended she was in her late 20s, and I was just 30. We told them we were in the money, both making well over $400,000 a year, as pharmaceutical executives. Life was good in Scarborough, but we'd throw it all in and come back in a flash to live in Paradise or Pigeon Inlet on welfare. 'We yearn to return,' I wrote at the end.
Spouse observed, with a twinkle in her eye, that I still looked as good as I did in olden days.
"This is getting out of hand," I said. "I've got a headache."
In my wild dream that night, I was living 10 years in the future. The entire expanse of our frozen land had become a tropical paradise, the clear green waters of Conception Bay reflected the cloudless azure skies of Avalon, frolicking children crowded pristine beaches free of plastic shopping bags and dead salmon, rooftop solar panels provided free power to dazzling white adobe homes. My dream world came complete with banana trees, contented moose, and a choice of free Raspberry screech or Mango OG marijuana.
In my serene Land of Nod, spouse and I spent our nocturnal hours wandering the strand, she in her Hawaiian grass skirt and me in my Samoan warrior loincloth, dancing and playing our ukuleles, greeting the untold thousands of friendly island neighbours who had returned to our pine-clad hills from the badlands to the west. We thanked God for this paradise and for Dear Leader, Duh-wite, who created it.
No more, the spindrifts whirling or tempests roaring. No more, the wild waves lashing our strand. No more, the silvern voice of bullying Big Eddie challenging members of the opposition to come outside Confederation Building and fight like men.
Perhaps, after all, my dream was exactly what Sir Cavendish Boyle envisioned when he wrote the Ode to Newfoundland in 1902 as he governed forlornly from frigid Government House in St. John's, pining for his former home in Barbados.
When I awoke in the early morning, the sound of freezing rain and sleet clicking against my bedroom window dispelled any notion that my dream was reality. Spouse snored peacefully beside me. I wondered if she shared my dream.
Lately, she has taken to wearing rose-tinted goggles when she retires after her relaxing nightcap of Fifty Shades of Bay. I find the goggles unsettling, but she explains that it helps her focus her dreams of sunbathing with the mermen on Middle Cove Beach.
When I tell her about my tropical island dream, she accuses me of having subliminal thoughts of going on vacation without her.
Downstairs, I power up the dilapidated Toshiba laptop. There is a Facebook message from Al 'the Pirate' Hawkins, Minister of Unemployment, asking if we'd volunteer to be the model son and daughter of Newfoundland for his big poster campaign.

One of the most common questions asked of chiropractors is whether or not we can help people who are suffering from osteoarthritis. The short answer is yes and no, get redirected here to arrange a visit to a chiropractor that can tell you for sure!
Degenerative joint disease is a better way to describe osteoarthritis, since it explains what is actually happening at the joint level. A normal joint has good space between the vertebrae (ie. bones),a smooth cartilage surface and smooth bony surfaces. When there is uneven wear and tear on a joint from either injury or repetitive movement, the joint will not work the way it is designed to and gradually develop a loss of joint space, roughening of the cartilage and bony growths (osteophytes) near the ends of the bones. The degeneration is usually graded mild, moderate or severe.
Obesity affects arthritis for two reasons: First, the excess load on your joints can cause pain and discomfort. "But also, maybe even more importantly, a number of inflammatory mediators produced in fat affect joint tissues and play a role in pain," says rheumatologist Richard F who also recommended to read this Resurge review in case you suffer overweight problems.
So, a structural change happens in the joint (which chiropractic care cannot reverse), but if we can keep the joints moving then the degenerative process can be slowed, assuming the cause of the stress on the joint has also been addressed.
How is Osteoarthritis/Degenerative Join Disease diagnosed (DJD)?
While many aches and pains are often attributed to DJD, the only way to properly diagnosis it is with an x-ray. The searing pain in DJD is anything unlike the one you have when afflicted with neuropathy, because as explained at https://skyridgemedicalcenter.net/causes-of-neuropathy/, the pain in the latter lasts for a long time. Don't assume that getting older automatically means a diagnosis of arthritis!
If you do have DJD, there can still be neuromusculoskeletal issues that a chiropractor CAN help resolve. So, instead of assuming that the sole cause of the problem is the degenerative process, a chiropractor will do a full assessment to identify other structural or muscular causes of pain. If you know the cause of knee pain is an injury, it should be enough to consult an injury doctor. For example, a person may have DJD in his/her knee and back, but the low back pain is a result of compensating for the knee pain, not the arthritis.
Have an ache or pain that you'd like to get rid of? Drop us a line – we'd love to help.

Even though summer is a popular time for weddings, fall and spring also have a lot to offer your special day. With gorgeous weather, seasonal menus, and beautiful spring flowers, the perks of having a fall or spring wedding are endless! Aside from the perks, planning a wedding during these seasons also has its own set of challenges and issues you should keep in mind.
Serving as your premier event planner in Pittsburgh, Encore Event Design has put together a list of things to keep in mind when planning a spring or fall wedding.
The weather may not be that warm.
When we think of spring, we think of the warm and sunny weather that comes with it, but in many areas, temperatures don't usually hit the 70s until late May. If you plan to get married in March or April, be sure to prepare for the colder temperatures with dresses and accessories that look great and keep you and your bridal party warm.
April showers may bring soggy outdoor photos.
Between the melting snow and the frequent rain, the ground and the grass are likely to be soggy and wet. It is essential to be cautious of where you step while you are taking your engagement or wedding photos outdoors.
Keep spring allergies in mind.
If you have family members or members of your bridal party who have pollen allergies or other springtime allergies, search for a venue that meets your needs and vision for your special day, but also won't make their allergy symptoms worse. If this isn't an option and the venue has the potential to aggravate their allergies, consider including travel tissues with the wedding favors.
Prepare for bugs.
As the earth thaws from winter and the beautiful spring flowers bloom, insects will begin emerging as well. If you plan to be outdoors for your wedding ceremony or reception, it is essential to take precautions and prepare for bugs that may crash your wedding. Keep bug spray and mosquito nets handy and be sure to avoid flowers that attract bees and keep the use of floral perfume to a minimum.
Create a gorgeous look with fresh flowers.
With a spring wedding, you can take advantage of the blooming season with your pick of fresh floral decorations. There are so many varieties of flowers in bloom during the spring, providing you with endless flower type and color options to choose. Incorporate fresh flowers into your centerpieces and fill your venue with gorgeous spring blooms for a look that is sure to impress.
Use the beautiful colors of the fall foliage.
When you book your venue, keep in mind the changing fall colors and choose a venue where you can take advantage of the beautiful fall background of reds, yellows, and oranges. These stunning fall colors can also be incorporated into your balloon decorations, linens, centerpieces and more for a gorgeous fall-inspired look.
Take advantage of off-season deals.
With less competition from the summer rush of other brides, you may be able to get off-season deals and discounts. Be sure to speak with your wedding vendors and see if they are willing to negotiate on price.
Remember that snow is a possibility.
Depending on what part of the country you live in, snow can begin around October 1st. Even if you live in Florida, where snow is not a concern, you still need to keep in mind that temperatures in November can be chilly, especially at night. If you plan to get married near the end of fall, an indoor venue may be best to help you avoid potential issues with inclement weather.
Find a better honeymoon deal.
If you get married in the fall, it is likely you'll be taking your honeymoon in the offseason. You will have less competition from other couples and tourists during booking, and you may even be able to find better deals on hotels or flights. Be sure to check the weather of your preferred honeymoon destination to avoid having your vacation ruined by bad weather.
Add fall flavors to your reception menu.
If you plan to get married during the harvest season, you can add a variety of fall treats to your menu to create a fun, seasonal taste! From apple cider and pumpkin bread to apple and pumpkin pie, there is a wide range of tasty fall menu options to choose from.
No matter the season, let Encore Event Design be your wedding planner! Pittsburgh brides can take the stress out of their wedding planning with our wedding decoration and design services. We can handle everything from balloon design and centerpieces to backdrops and up-lighting to ensure your wedding décor expresses your unique theme and leaves an impression on your guests.
