Twice a month, Wendy and Harley, two miniature therapy horses from Seven Oaks Farm, clop their way through the terminals of Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, greeting travelers and easing any fears they may have about flying.
"Airports are traditionally full of anxiety," Wendi Orlando, senior manager of customer relations at the airport, told The Cincinnati Enquirer. "[Seeing animals] helps to ease those anxieties, to put smiles on faces, to just put people in a better place." Studies have shown that petting an animal can lower blood pressure and stress levels, and some airports have therapy dogs on hand to help scared travelers. Orlando wanted to try something different, and was open to bringing the horses to the airport.
Right off the bat, they were extremely popular with travelers. "They really are like celebrities," Orlando said. "They walk through the airport, and people stop and take notice." The horses also visit nursing homes and hospice care facilities, changing their outfits depending on where they are. "They're pretty well-received everywhere we go," Seven Oaks Farm owner Lisa Moad told the Enquirer. "Everybody loves us." Catherine Garcia
As The Beatles once said, baby you can drive my car — if you have my toothbrush, toothpaste, gum, hand sanitizer, stapler, stapler remover, business cards, napkins, and cough drops at hand at all times. Those are just some of the items chauffeurs of Rep. Todd Rokita's (R-Ind.) are required to never be without, a leaked eight-page instruction manual obtained by Politico shows.
The manual also demands Rokita's drivers avoid "unnecessary conversation" with the lawmaker and "avoid sudden acceleration or braking." Drivers are also expected to serve as a human shield to block photographers from taking embarrassing pictures of Rokita, and to bring him a cup of black coffee and empty his trashcan whenever they pick him up at home, Politico adds.
Drivers are additionaly supposed to collect information from "as many people as possible" at Rokita's events while also taking pictures for social media and taking note of "all interactions." Drivers are also to make sure Rokita has a drink at all times, but never let him be photographed with a drink.
Rokita is hoping to challenge Sen. Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.) for his Senate seat next year, but he'll first have to beat fellow Republican Rep. Luke Messer (R-Ind.) in the primary. Rokita's staff blames Messer for leaking the high-maintenance memo.
Still, Rokita's campaign spokesman, Tim Edson, argued in defense of the eight-page memo: "There is nothing embarrassing about always being prepared," he said. Read the full memo here, via Politico. Jeva Lange
40 percent of Americans agree with Trump that 'both sides' were equally responsible for Charlottesville violence
Four in 10 Americans believe that "both sides" were equally responsible for the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, over the weekend, indicating that President Trump's comments at a combative press conference earlier this week resonated with more of the public than expected. Another 46 percent of Americans believe that far-right groups were most responsible for the violence, the SurveyMonkey poll found, whereas just nine percent believe counter-protesters are most to blame.
Trump's choice to lay blame on "both sides" was heavily criticized by the media. "He is right that there are two sides: the vestigial tail of the Confederacy and the United States of America; the white supremacists and their targets; the president and the patriots," wrote Fast Company. Former Vice President Joe Biden tweeted, "There is only one side."
The SurveyMonkey poll found the majority of Republicans believe both sides are "equally" responsible for the violence in Charlottesville, while 66 percent of Democrats believe far-right groups get the biggest cut of the blame. Among independents, 51 percent think far-right groups are most responsible, followed by 38 percent who think both sides share the blame. The poll reached 2,181 respondents on Thursday online.
"These findings reflect the fact that, because of the nation's partisan divide and fractured media, we no longer agree on basic facts," writes Axios. "That makes civil debate impossible."
So where did the "both sides" thinking originate? The Week's Ryan Cooper goes back to the Civil War in his investigation, and explores the origins of the phrase "alt-left" here. Jeva Lange
Stephen Colbert, SNL creatively explain why George Washington and Robert E. Lee are not the same
President Trump "has had a lot of problems with history this week, mainly how he'll be remembered by it," Stephen Colbert said on Thursday's Late Show, "but also with defending the Confederacy." Colbert took special issue with Trump's argument, on Twitter and at a press conference, that because George Washington owned slaves, the decision to take down a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee will lead America down a slippery, heritage-erasing slope to removing statues of Washington and fellow slave owner Thomas Jefferson.
"Comparing Robert E. Lee to George Washington and Thomas Jefferson is just willful dumminess," Colbert said, coining a word. "Washington and Jefferson have monuments not because of the slaves but because they fought the British, founded the country, and wrote the Declaration of Independence. We have statues of Robert E. Lee because he chose to secede and fight for slavery." Taking down Confederate statues "isn't about denying that slavery happened, it's about not celebrating the people who fought to keep it going," he said. "That's why we remember the Titanic but don't erect a monument to the iceberg."
On Saturday Night Live's Thursday night "Weekend Update," Michael Che invited George Washington, as played by Jimmy Fallon, on to defend himself. "About this Robert E. Lee thing, I'm nothing like that guy," Fallon's Washington said. "I created this country, he tried to tear it apart. I rebelled against England, he rebelled against America. Him bad, me the founding father, the original dad — Who's your daddy? Me!" He tried to leave, but Che stopped him, reminding him that he (Washington) did own slaves. Fallon said Jefferson was worse, prompting Jefferson (Seth Meyers) to come out and accuse him of throwing him "under the carriage."
After some playful banter, the two founding fathers looked solemnly into the camera, music playing. "In the end, Michael, we don't need statues to commemorate us," said Fallon. Meyers' Jefferson concurred: "Our legacy is the country that we risked our lives to create." "That is why this great nation has given us an honor greater than any statue," Fallon said: "a three-day weekend in February during which all Americans get 50 percent off all mattresses."
For a more serious discussion, CBS News political director John Dickerson gave Colbert his historical opinion in the last minute of his Late Show interview. Watch below. Peter Weber
On Thursday, the Cleveland Clinic, the American Cancer Society, and the American Friends of Magen David Adom — a charity that raises money for Israel's equivalent of the Red Cross — all canceled major charity events at President Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida. The American Cancer Society, which has held galas at the club since at least 2009, cited its "values and commitment to diversity," The Washington Post reports, while the Cleveland Clinic told the Post "there were a variety of factors" behind its decision, adding, "We're not elaborating." Similarly, AFMDA said it canceled its 2018 charity ball — one of the biggest events at Mar-a-Lago last season — "after careful deliberation."
These cancelations, after Trump appeared to defend white supremacists, will certainly affect Mar-a-Lago's bottom line, the Post reports, noting that similar events brought in fees ranging from $100,000 to $275,000 apiece. The executive director of the Palm Beach Chamber of Commerce, Laurel Baker, said she "can't help but think there will be more fallout" for Trump's "morally reprehensible" club, which is a member of her organization. "The glitter, the shine has gone from the club," she said, adding: "The club is a member of the chamber. But right is right." There are still 13 big-ticket galas scheduled for Mar-a-Lago, notes the Post's David Fahrenthold, but at least seven major charities that typically hold events at Mar-a-Lago decided in recent months to look elsewhere, avoiding the need to cancel their galas.

Stephen Colbert shakes his head at Trump's fake-history tweets, self-destructive refusal to be tamed
Stephen Colbert started Thursday's Late Show on a serious note, recounting how at least 13 people were killed when a terrorist drove a van into a crowd of people in Barcelona. "This is a heartbreaking reminder that evil is real and that the United States is not alone in fighting it," he said. And Thursday afternoon, "President Trump said the right thing" — at least at first.
"I was sincerely happy to see that kind of moral leadership from our president — for about 45 minutes," Colbert said, using his Trump-tweet voice to read the president's follow-up tweet about Gen. John Pershing's fictitious pig's-blood executions. He played Trump's recounting of the fake but gruesome tale, suggested his bed-time stories must have been terrifying to the Trump kids, imagined some other made-up history lessons Trump might tell, then read a real Pershing quote that, for some reason, Trump doesn't bring up.
Historical accuracy isn't Trump's only problem, Colbert said. So is discipline. He's doubling down on his defense of white supremacists because, according to one adviser, Trump would rather have people call him racist that say he backed down. "Oh, then let me help: you're a racist," Colbert said, courteously. "Naturally, people are asking what happened to that new chief of staff that was going to keep him in line," he said, but "some people think it's already over for John Kelly."
Colbert was incredulous, noting that the current issue of TIME, dated Aug. 21, calls Kelly Trump's last hope. "Kelly's time ended before it began," he said with mock solemnity. "He's some sort of time traveler. Now he just needs to get back into his DeLorean and go back to a happier time for him, like when he was fighting in Iraq." To memorialize Kelly's brief (but ongoing in real life) tenure, The Late Show showed a pretty remarkable, tongue-in-cheek recap of "General Kelly: 17 Days of Discipline." Watch below. Peter Weber
Statue of Roger Taney, the Supreme Court justice behind Dred Scott, is being removed from Maryland State House grounds
Early Friday morning, crews began to work on removing a statue of Roger B. Taney, the former Supreme Court justice who wrote the 1857 Dred Scott decision that upheld slavery and ruled that any person with African descent could not be a citizen, from the grounds of the Maryland State House.
Any change to the building or grounds must be approved by the State House Trust, and the four-member panel voted to remove the statue on Wednesday, with three in favor and one, state Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller (D), not voting. He wrote in an email that Taney used "inflammatory and derogatory language" in the Dred Scott case, but said Taney "served with distinction" when he was a Maryland state attorney general and U.S. attorney general and did remain loyal to the Union, The Baltimore Sun reports. Miller also said there is "balance" because on the opposite side of the state house grounds stands a statue of Thurgood Marshall, the first African-American Supreme Court justice.
The plan is to remove the statue from the base, cover the base in plywood, then store the statue for the Maryland State Archives, The Baltimore Sun reports. The statue was installed in 1872, and while there was increased pressure to remove it following the events in Charlottesville over the weekend, the statue has been controversial for several years.

Tina Fey has a simple plan for countering the coming 'alt-right' rallies. It's more gluttony that glory.
Former Saturday Night Live head writer, "Weekend Update" anchor, and University of Virginia alumna Tina Fey has some thoughts about last weekend's violence in Charlottesville, President Trump's response to it, and what to do next. After Trump blamed "many sides" for the violence and death of a counterprotester at a white supremacist march, "I'm feeling sick, because, you know, I've seen Raiders of the Lost Ark, and I wasn't confused by it," Fey told current "Weekend Update" anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che on Thursday night. "No, Colin, Nazis are always bad, I don't care what you say."
But this isn't over, she said, as Jost protested, because there are nine more alt-right rallies planned for Saturday, including one in New York City's Washington Square Park. "And part of me hopes these neo-Nazis do try it in New York City — like, I hope they try it and get the ham salad kicked out of them by a bunch of drag queens," Fey said. "But at the same time, I don't want any more good people to get hurt." So instead of going to protest the neo-Nazis and fight and shout this out, she said, non-Nazi sympathizers should support a local business — specifically a bakery that sells American flag cakes. "Sheetcaking is a grassroots movement, Colin," Fey said. "Most of the women I know have been doing it once a week since the election."
"Sheetcaking" isn't staying silent, exactly — you just yell what you want to say to the white supremacists (and Ann Coulter) into the cake while you are shoving forkfuls of cake into your mouth. Fey demonstrated how that's done, including the speaking-your- mind part. "In conclusion, I really want to say, to encourage all good, sane Americans to treat these rallies this weekend like the opening of a thoughtful movie with two female leads: don't show up," she said. "Let these morons scream into the empty air." You may not feel much better about the state of the country after watching this, but you might feel a little peckish. Peter Weber

Mobile Communication Technology for Adolescents With Diabetes

Among those with type I diabetes, adolescents can be among the worst at achieving glycemic control. Behaviors normal in adolescent development (e.g., developing independence, rejecting parental norms in favor of peers) can be at odds with the demands of effective diabetes self-management. Modifying the family and patient interaction should be a crucial component to improving the ability of an adolescent to manage his or her diabetes.
Mobile technology is becoming more popular in medicine, and adolescents, as a group are more inclined to accept technology as an adjunct to care. Mobile technology that links adolescents to health providers could help them to work through complex information that must be processed to make good decisions. Since this "assistance" comes from health professionals, it should help relax parents somewhat, thus reducing problems associated with parental hypervigilance and manipulation of the regimen to avoid problems of hypoglycemia. Parental-child conflicts may therefore be reduced by using cell phone glucose monitoring technology that directly reports self-blood glucose monitoring data to providers and creates a communication link to discuss therapeutic options.
This study investigates whether the use of mobile technology, in the form of a cell phone glucose monitoring system, will help reduce the need for parents to assert behavioral control, which can negatively impact adolescent diabetes self-management. The study will also determine whether adolescents report improved quality of life, demonstrate competence in diabetes management, and are able to achieve better control of their diabetes.

- Quality of Parent-child Relationship [ Time Frame: Change from baseline to 6 months. Please see above for a description of how the change score should be interpreted. ]The Cornell Parent Behavior Description Scale was used to measure the antecedents and consequences of children's perceptions of the behavior of their parents towards them. Each of 14 subscales is scored from 0-10. The potential range of the total score is therefore 0 (fewest behaviors) to 140 (most behaviors). We used the total score, which is equivalent to the sums of the subscales, and calculated the change from baseline to 6 months. The range of the change is given as a 95% CI. A change of zero would indicate no change. A positive number is a worsening , and a negative number indicates an improvement.

|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Glucopak Care
Glucopak cell phone and intensive monitoring. This group will be given the experimental device, and placed in close communication with the clinic.
Device: GlucoPak
We will be giving participants Glucopak devices and monitoring them closely over the 6 month period.
Active Comparator: Cell Phone Care
Cell phone only, without the Glucopak. Participants will be given cell phones and encouraged to communicate more closely with the clinic, but will not use the Glucopak.
Device: Cell Phone
We will provide cell phones and access to the clinic to facilitate communications
Placebo Comparator: Usual Care
Usual care, without cell phone or glucopak
Other: Usual Care
This intervention was usual care, without either device.
Detailed Description:
Among patients with type I diabetes, adolescents struggle the most with self-management, which often results in poor glycemic control. Optimizing parent-patient interaction is crucial to improving self-management. Mobile technology with integrated glucose monitoring capability that links adolescents to providers may reduce parental hypervigilance and assist them to better understand self-management. .
This study will investigate a novel cell phone glucose monitoring system (CPGM) with the following specific aims:
- To establish feasibility of a CPGM system as a component of an adolescent diabetes management program.
- To determine if the technology will improve a) quality of parent-child relationship, b) patient quality of life, c) competence in diabetes management, and d) metabolic control.
- To gather preliminary data for development of future intervention studies.
120 adolescents with type I diabetes will be randomly assigned to either an experimental or control group. Experimental subjects will use the CPGM which will transmit all blood glucose data to a host computer. A nurse practitioner in the pediatric endocrinology clinic will determine need for telephone contacts based on evaluation of transmitted data. Subjects might be telephoned to discuss possible regimen adjustments, need for clinic visits, or referrals to additional services. Subjects will also be able to initiate contact with the project nurse. Control subjects will continue to receive standard care. .
This study will assess the effect of the intervention in the four primary domains stated in the specific aims. These domains will be measured at baseline, three months, and six months.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Mark Sisson. I'm 63 years young. I live and work in Malibu, California. In a past life I was a professional marathoner and triathlete. Now my life goal is to help 100 million people get healthy. I started this blog in 2006 to empower people to take full responsibility for their own health and enjoyment of life by investigating, discussing, and critically rethinking everything we've assumed to be true about health and wellness...Tell Me More
It's Friday, everyone! And that means another Primal Blueprint Real Life Story from a Mark's Daily Apple reader. If you have your own success story and would like to share it with me and the Mark's Daily Apple community please contact me here. I'll continue to publish these each Friday as long as they keep coming in. Thank you for reading!
I feel compelled to give back to your organization (Primal Blueprint/Mark's Daily Apple) as it has it has a profound impact on my life. I hope my story will motivate others to consider taking the steps to lead to a longer and more fulfilling life.
Like many others, a slow deterioration of my health led me to seek out a sustainable approach to a healthier life. My goal was not just to be alive at 85…it was to thrive and enjoy an active life.
I never would have imagined that I would be dealing with health/weight issues as I was cruising through life counterbalancing poor eating habits with an active lifestyle that included long distance running (40-50 miles/week, marathon races, etc.) for 20+ years.
When I hit my late twenties, my weight started to creep up given my increasingly sedentary lifestyle. That's when I started to practice crash conventional diets to bring my weight down. The funny thing was that I never had a problem losing the weight as I am a focused, goal oriented person. I would psych my mind up to put my body into deprivation mode for 2 months and the pounds would come off quickly. Unfortunately, I would hit my goal and then return back to the toxic eating habits and the weight would come back stronger than it came off.
I turned 52 last year and had undergone one too many yo-yo diet experiences based upon many of the conventional dieting techniques. My weight loss/gain swings started at 20 pounds and soon got to 40 pounds. This occurred at least 7 times over a 15 year period. As a result of my weight management issues, I slowly developed "middle age health issues" such as gastric reflux, sleep apnea and other GI disorders. These disorders were treated mostly through prescription drugs. After going to a GI doctor, and hearing that I was at risk of losing my gall bladder, I was shocked into reality. I wasn't ready to enter a phase in my life where I would slowly lose functionality of my body and increase my dependence on prescription drugs to slow down my body's deterioration. This would not get me to my "Thrive at 85" goal.
At the same time, my skeletal structure was showing wear and tear from the years of pounding it endured through long distance running. I thought I was in great shape being a marathon runner but I realized I was totally out of balance with very low core strength. I develop chronic issues with my back and knees that resulted in "outages" that immobilized me for periods of time. These outages made me miserable as I couldn't do the things I enjoyed.
After the gall bladder incident, my wife had encouraged me to read materials on the Paleo Lifestyle. After reading The Primal Blueprint and subscribing to Mark's Daily Apple, it became so clear that the approach I was taking to managing my health (yo-yo dieting and cardio obsession) didn't make any sense. I realized that my body was not intended to eat the foods I was eating or to endure the pounding it was taking. The logic in the blueprint and the daily articles made sense and inspired not only me…but my wife as well.
The only question was whether I would be able to make the huge transformation in eating habits. The staple of my diet was based mostly on grains and I would get this maddening sweet craving after dinner that was usually satisfied with junk desserts. The change appeared intimidating at first. I was shocked how easy it was, after just 2 weeks, to get a great feeling of satisfaction from eating healthy, high fat foods. I lost 50 pounds during the first 7 months of Primal and, most importantly, my weight has been stable for almost a year!
I also have been getting into lifting weights and core strengthening for the first time in my life. I have not had an outage in over 1 1/2 years and feel a lot stronger.
But…there are so many other more impactful benefits that come from the Primal lifestyle, including having much more energy, being able to handle stress and having fewer mood swings.
The key was that my wife and I took the journey together. We never turned back. I transformed from a stressed out, carb loving, and cardio extremist into someone who truly enjoys all aspects of the Primal lifestyle (diet, exercise, sleep, etc.). It has been a game changer for us. Besides the weight management, we have loved the wonderful feeling of well-being that we experience now. In addition, taking this Primal journey together has really strengthened our marriage. The success stories and articles we have read on Mark's Daily Apple have been an inspiration to my wife and I, and I felt compelled to give back to the Primal community and the people who may be considering it.

Congrats Dave! Having a partner makes all the difference, I can attest. You look so much healthier – and happier! Way to go 🙂
Thanks Heather. Totally agree with partner impact. The only issue is that our kids (and some freinds too) complain that all we talk about is Primal. 🙂
just set the example and say nothing. if they say anything critical shrug and say "it works for me". let them see how well you are doing and maybe they will follow on their own. or maybe they won't. either way, you can't make them, it has to be their choice.
What a great transformation… And a wonderful wife.
Nice job, Dave!
I'm still far away from 52, and I love these stories from those in decades other than my own. I need the perspective you have to offer–thanks so much for bringing it!
You can do it. The benefits are huge. Good luck!
Congratulations to you and your wife, Dave. My fiance joined me in primal living over a year ago and it has helped to strengthen our relationship as well. Grok on!
Proof that being in middle age doesn't mean putting up with middle-age spread. Nice job!
great job! not only are you healthy, but you look so much younger!
Forget 85, go for 95. Great job!
Wish I could get my husband on the Primal bandwagon!
You and me both! And I wish I could get my daughters on it as well. *sigh* Maybe one day…
Take the helm Wenchypoo, the action is in your hands!
P.S. Does Mark know you are already planning his death? I'm pretty sure we'll keep Groking on….
Mark is only in his late 50's and you're already worried about his demise LOL?
I had a feeling that Mark had just turned 60, but I may be wrong (sorry Mark if I'm making you out to be older than you are!). Anyway, I am sure he has plenty of life left in him as yet. It just depends on how much longer he wants to keep blogging for.
What's great about Paleo/Primal is that it's NOT a cult of personality! Mark is an inspiration and a thought leader for sure, but the movement is much bigger than any one individual.
And like George said, Mark is only in his 50s. Reports of his imminent demise are greatly exaggerated 🙂
One more point. I've noticed lately that what used to be called "paleo" or "primal" is now often simply labeled "good nutrition." Case in point: just joined a new, large, mainstream gym (a chain, locations across the country). As part of my new membership, got a "healthy eating guide" that recommended more saturated fat, lower carbs and generally an eating style precisely in line with paleo principles. This is the future – no labels required.
Mark is dying? lol Why are we talking about him leaving us? Don't worry so much.
Certainly not any time soon, I'm sure. But I do love the saying, "I don't anyone getting any younger…" 🙂
Great job! You are so lucky to have found a solution before you were told to have gallbladder surgery. I wasn't so lucky. That being said, anyone who happens to read this comment should be aware that going primal is a solution for those with gallbladder issues. I am without one and have faired well…no reduction in good quality fat either!
Great job Dave, and as with so many success stories, that smile says it all. You look amazing, and I'm sure your wife does too!
Not to take away from Mark, but I truly think this whole primal thing will make inroads into the current unhealthy lifestyle promulgated by others, and I think there will be influential and charismatic voices speaking up. That in itself is primal!
Dave, many congratulations to you and your wife. I am so happy to hear these stories that pretty closely parallel my own.
Congrats Dave-you do inspire! Thats not the usual 52 we're looking at 😉 you're rocking a healthy physique.
What a great transformation! You look 10 years younger in the "after" photo! Great health really makes a difference!
Did the Primal eating taking away the gray hair?!?
:-)…hair color is natural. The dark room may have helped me in the after pic.
Go Dave! Love the before/after pics—its a different person.
The only thing that looks the same is your great grin!
Dave, your story mirrors my own and it's great to have a partner on board as well. No turning back…and reaching 85 should be a cinch!
Lets do it!
Fantastic– I hope when I reach my goal my hair turns dark like yours!
Dave… amazing! Such an incredible transformation… and a great story.
This is a great inspirational post! Excellent transformation!
Congrats David!
My father is 55 and i wish he could read Primal Blueprint to and make this changes, he is very exseptical but i would be suprised with the changes in his health.
Mark pleasee print your book in spanish!!! i can read english but i would like to share your book with a lot of people that dont like to read in english, would be very helpful, in Mexico we are in the first places of obesity 🙁
Please encourage him. My Dad died in 2009 at 66 and I wish I'd been able to tell him about this way of living and eating!
What an excellent idea! The Primal Blueprint needs to go multi-national, and it sounds like Mexico is a very good place to start.
I have been thinking that Spanish would be a great language to start with. 22 countries use that language, all of Central and South America and a couple places in Europe too. I was just in Mexico for the first time in three years and I was startled because I thought every weighed more (in just three years!).
People could certainly benefit from a German translation of this book too.
Great job! You'll want to keep the hair too!
Dave (MD expatriate)
Do you miss running marathons? How much are you running now?
At first, I missed all aspects of running a lot. But I got over it pretty quickly when I saw the benefits of a mixing strength training in with a little cardio. The running caused so many injuries that created long periods of inactivity. With a stronger core, I can do much more without fear of injury. My mileage has gone from 40 to maybe 10 miles a week.
Good Job Dave Man
Great pictures with the same shorts and same wide smile! Hubs and I are your age as well and have been doing this for about two and a half years. It is amazing how many benefits we've reaped from ditching the SAD. For you younger folk – age is not the issue! You CAN look great, feel great and be active and healthy into your middle ages and beyond!
Congrats to you both!
Great job Dave! Love that grin.
I liked a quote I saw yesterday – it feels amazing to feel amazing! Judging by your happy pic I reckon you look AND feel amazing – keep up the good work.
I am about the same age as you, and feel younger than I have in many many years – ain't it great!
great job im 54 and my girl is 58 and probably 90/10 paleo feels great ive have lost 90 pounds in three years ,concur with everyone regarding family tough watching your brothers and sisters suffering from the SAD, diet they just take their meds and still eat and drink crap,they see our way of eating as deprivation BULL we love food bacon and eggs breaky ,big arse thai fish salad lunch,meat and veg dinner,+nuts berries and 80% chocolate for snacks NO DEPRIVATION THERE,our only downfall is alcohol sauv blanc,gin and scotch lol we are aussie though that's our excuse cheers
The alcohol thing isnt an Aussie thing, That is one area we (Americans) bend a little but limit our intake to wine.Cheers and congrats on awesome results.
I really think it's time you treated yourself to a new pair of shorts, Dave. 🙂 Excellent story- thanks for sharing.
Wow, love the transformation! You've shed years and look fantastic and healthy. Best of luck to you and your wife. 🙂
yea I think the way to promote it is not even mention paleo/primal just bag processed food and sugar v lean protein plus veges,salad and fruit then they are more receptive plus If they are interested talk about basic hdl,ldl blood pressure all mine read like I am 20 again compared to scary pre diabetic 3 years ago not to mention looking good naked he he
I am shocked at how much younger you look now! Kudos to you, my friend, and may you certainly "thrive at 85"!
My father is 52, and don't tell him this, but you look a lot younger! I wish I could convince him to do primal 🙁
I'm 54 and really inspired by your transformation! I've been Paleo for over two years now and initially lost weight and improved all my biomarkers of health. But my life has gotten so stressful of late and I find myself slipping. In the last quarter of nursing school I gained back 6 pounds. (stress, fruit and dark chocolate)
You look 52 in your first picture and 32 in the second one! Amazing! I wish I had a partner to share this journey with. Anyway, good work!
You don't look like the same person at all!!! Gorgeous! Congratulations!
Yay! I am 56, just discovered this way of life, and you inspire me to want to enjoy the 30 or 40 years I have left, not become a burden to the family and the healthcare system and society at large….Thanks Dave!
This truly looks like a father/son side-by-side photo. Amazing
Its definitely not too late! I started at 52 and never felt it was too late. I found that the paying a little extra for healthy food is much cheaper than the costs associated with doctors/presciptions. I hope he (and you) finds a system that works. Good luck!
I heard a lot about Marks Daily Apple blog, here I am , reading first blog and commenting. You are a great inspiration of healthy living and diet. Keep it UP!
Wow- you look 20 years younger. The "After" picture looks like it could be in your photo album from many years before! Great job.
First let me say….Dave no longer has the blue shorts 🙂 Being on primal together has been so much fun! I highly encourage enlisting the support of a partner, friend or other group with whom to start a primal lifestyle. Unlike Dave, who had health issues, I was in perfect health before starting Primal. The huge difference I feel is a massive increase in my energy level. This alone has improved my quality of life tremendously. Good luck to every one who's going to try primal…it is SO worth it!
Wow Dave! The pictures do not lie! Great job! Not only are you paleo lean, you look healthy, strong and happy! You must be doing some strength training too?
Thanks Rose. Yes…strength training is big focusof mine. Core strengthening seems to get mire important as you get older. Good luck to you.
Great work Dave, the positive results are obvious.
I'm 51, my wife and I just hit the 4 week mark eating paleo. Even in this very short time span we are already feeling much better, and have dropped a few pounds. I didn't have much extra weight (I'm 5-11, was 170 lbs, now about 165 lbs) but the difference is already remarkable in my energy levels and just "feeling clean" for lack of a better description.
Excellent point. There is so much emphasis on weight mgmnt today. With Paleo, there are so many awesome benefuts. Congrats to you and your wife. It only gets better.
Very inspirational, Dave. As a newcomer to Primal I've been reading one success story every night and finally reached yours. I learn something new from each one and yours is no exception.
The before/after photos look like two different people – just the smile remains the same.
Glad you got a new pair of shorts too! Thanks for sharing your story with us. 🙂

Gamaliel II
Rabban Gamaliel II (also spelled Gamliel; Hebrew: רבן גמליאל דיבנה) was the first person to lead the Sanhedrin as Nasi after the fall of the second temple, which occurred in 70 CE. Gamliel was appointed nasi approximately 10 years later. Gamaliel II was the son of Shimon ben Gamaliel, one of Jerusalem's foremost men in the war against the Romans,[2] and grandson of Gamaliel I. To distinguish him from the latter he is also called Gamliel of Yavne.
In Yavne, during the siege of Jerusalem, the scribes of the school of Hillel had taken refuge by permission of Vespasian, and a new centre of Judaism arose under the leadership of the aged Johanan ben Zakkai, a school whose members inherited the authority of the Sanhedrin of Jerusalem. Gamaliel II became Johanan ben Zakkai's successor, and rendered immense service in the strengthening and reintegration of Judaism, which had been deprived of its former basis by the destruction of the Second Temple and by the entire loss of its political autonomy. He put an end to the division which had arisen between the spiritual leaders of Judaism by the separation of the scribes into the two schools called respectively after Hillel and Shammai, and took care to enforce his own authority as the president of the chief legal assembly of Judaism with energy and often with severity. He did this, as he himself said, not for his own honor nor for that of his family, but in order that disunion should not prevail in Israel.
Gamaliel's position was recognized by the Roman government also. Towards the end of Domitian's reign (c. 95 CE), he went to Rome in company with the most prominent members of the school of Javneh, in order to avert a danger threatening the Jews from the action of the emperor. Many interesting particulars have been given regarding the journey of these learned men to Rome and their sojourn there. The impression made by the capital of the world upon Gamaliel and his companions was an overpowering one, and they wept when they thought of Jerusalem in ruins. In Rome, as at home, Gamaliel often had occasion to defend Judaism in polemical discussions with pagans, and also with professed Christians. In an anecdote regarding a suit which Gamaliel was prosecuting before a Christian judge, a converted Jew, an appeal to the Gospel and to the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:17 is made, with one possible reading of the story indicating that it was Gamaliel making this reference.[3]
|Rabbinical Eras
Rabbi Gamaliel II directed Simeon ha-Pakoli to edit the Amidah and make it a duty, incumbent on every one, to recite the prayer three times daily. Also, he directed Samuel ha-Katan to write another paragraph against informers and heretics.[4]
He was on friendly terms with many who were not Jews, and was so warmly devoted to his slave Tavi that when the latter died he mourned for him as for a beloved member of his own family.
He loved discussing the sense of single portions of the Bible with other scholars, and made many fine expositions of the text. With the words of Deuteronomy 13:18 he associated the lesson: "So long as thou thyself art merciful, God will also be merciful to thee." Gamaliel died before the insurrections under Trajan had brought fresh unrest into Israel. At his funeral obsequies the celebrated proselyte Aquila (Akylas Onkelos), reviving an ancient custom, burned costly materials to the value of seventy minae. Gamaliel himself had given directions that his body was to be wrapped in the simplest possible shroud. By this he wished to check the extravagance which had become associated with arrangements for the disposal of the dead, and his end was attained; his example became the rule, and it also became the custom to commemorate him in the words of consolation addressed to the mourners.[5] Gamaliel's son, Simon, long after his father's death, and after the persecutions under Hadrian, inherited his office, which thenceforward his descendants handed on from father to son.
Gamaliel was a controversial leader. He excommunicated his own brother-in-law, Eliezer ben Hyrcanus. In a dispute about fixing the calendar, Rabban Gamaliel humiliated Rabbi Joshua ben Hananiah by asking him to show up with his "stick and satchel" (weekday attire) on the holy day which according to Rabbi Joshua's calculation was Yom Kippur. Later on, another dispute broke out regarding the status of the nightly prayer, and he humiliated him again by asking him to stand up, and to remain standing while teaching to his students. This incident shocked the Rabbis, and subsequently led to a rabbinic revolt against Gamaliel's leadership of the sanhedrin. The Sanhedrin installed Rabbi Eleazar Ben Azariah as the new Nasi. After reconciling with Rabbi Joshua, Rabban Gamaliel was reinstated as Nasi, with Rabbi Eleazar serving along with him in a rotation every third week. According to the version recorded in the Jerusalem Talmud, Rabbi Eliezer served as Av Bet Din, effectively as a viceregent.[6]

Washington, June 13 (ANI): Social media giant Facebook has agreed to allow photos related to mastectomy scars after a petition by a woman was made on Change.org that garnered 20,000 signatures in support.
Facebook, which was recently under fire for allowing derogatory content on pages, said that it has long allowed photos to be shared on the site related to mastectomy, scientific and educational photos of human body including photos of women breastfeeding, reports ABC News.
According to the report, Facebook said that only those images are removed which are reported to be 'offensive' by other users and as the team has to deal with a lot of data at a given time, some photographs of importance may have got accidentally removed.
The new policy was framed after talks with Scorchy Barrington, a woman struggling with stage IV breast cancer, and photographer David Jay, founder of the SCAR Project about the relevance of spreading the awareness about such diseases through images.
Barrington who used the pseudonym for the petition said that this move will allow visual testament to the real impact of beast cancer and the resilience of the breast cancer survivors through Facebook.
However, Facebook maintains that images of 'fully exposed breasts', which are unaffected post surgery, will still not be allowed on the site.
The social media giant maintained that it does not generally allow nudity with some exceptions consistent with other platforms that have many young users, the report added. (ANI)

Hail briefly hammers northern Vermilion County
BISMARCK — A pop-up storm blew through parts of northern Vermilion County on Friday afternoon, producing ping-pong ball- to baseball- and teacup-size hail, according to weather officials.
No injuries were reported, said Rick Harper, the severe weather manager for the Vermilion County Emergency Management Agency. But the hail, as large as 3 inches in diameter in some areas, damaged vehicles and the roof of a metal building, while the wind and hail damaged crops and trees.
"The storm just kind of popped up from an outflow boundary from the storms that were going through northern Illinois," Harper said.
"We have had numerous reports of cars damaged and leaves being stripped off trees ranging from Potomac, the Bismarck and Henning areas to the Vermilion Regional Airport to Wal-Mart" in north Danville, he continued, adding the storm moved in a southeasterly direction. "The hail also damaged the roof of a metal building 2 miles south of Bismarck."
Damage estimates weren't available on Friday afternoon.
The storm only lasted from about 2:20 to 2:40 p.m., Harper said. He said it rolled through the Hoopeston area a little earlier, but no damage was reported in that area.
Harper said the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration also took notice of the event.
"They're actually surveying farmers in the area and studying how suddenly it popped up and everything," he said.

As one of our Armed Intelligentsia pointed out, Senator Lori Klein's account of the incident wherein she pointed a gun at a reporter (or he jumped in front of it) misses an important safety violation. Klein said her concealed carry demo was safe because she was pointing her piece at a wall. So what was behind that wall? Always know your target and what's behind it. A .22-caliber bullet can travel two miles before it runs out of steam (so to speak). A nine, not so far. But far enough to kill . . .
[DPW equipment operator Aaron] Sullivan told police he and three friends were passing the gun around and shooting into the lake during the time frame that Blair was shot. He said they were aiming for the water, not the tree line. Police estimated that they fired dozens of shots.
Police don't know who fired the fatal shot, but as the owner of the weapon, Sullivan is the only one facing state charges.
Blair was visiting her uncle's house, just beyond the lake and beyond two rows of heavy trees in the 4300 block of Pittman Road, to celebrate the holiday. Blair was shot as she danced around the lawn. She collapsed without a word about 9:15 p.m. She died at a hospital the next day.
This account [via kansascity.com] highlights several important safety points.
First, you are responsible for your gun. If you give a firearm to someone else to shoot, it's still your responsibility. If you lend a gun to a friend, it's still your responsibility. In some cases legally. In all cases morally.
Second, you are responsible for all your bullets. As the old expressions goes, every bullet comes with a lawyer attached. The best way not to fire a bullet in the wrong direction: establish the right direction and don't point the muzzle in any other direction; even when safety checking or loading the weapon.
Third, bullets or bullet fragments skip or bounce off of objects. I know that seems obvious, but we've seen plenty of videos from our friend FPSRussia wherein the faux Slav fires powerful weapons at water and objects close-by, without eye protection.
And lastly, beware of peer pressure. Otherwise reasonable people can get caught-up in bromentum. Everyone's having fun, so why not have fun? Because tragedies like this can happen in the blink of an eye.
Safety first, last and always.
16 Responses to Irresponsible Gun Owner of the Day: Aaron Sullivan
Tragic. And so very careless. It reminds me of a piece I read in the 90's. A hunter had one single pellet from his buckshot make it through a window and into a crib-then into the baby, killing her.
Gee. You keep this up, you'll start agreeing with the anti-gun crowd that guns are too dangerous for mere human beings to ever touch.
I don't see it. How does advocacy of responsibility lead to hoplophobia?
This case reminds me of an incident at my house when I was a kid (early 1980s). My family was in the backyard cooking bar-be-que. We starting hearing gunshots in the distance, and then a couple of bullets started slamming into our house. My dad told everybody to hit the deck. One the next bullets hit the back door, and put a small dent in it (it was made out of some sort of metal, with glass panes on the upper half). We called the police. We eventually went to the land where the shots had originated and it turns out that somebody had been firing a pistol at a metal sign in a field – and our house was directly behind the sign. Looking a Google Earth a few minutes ago, it seems as though the distance was roughly 400 yards. My dad painted over the hole but didn't replace the door. The dent became a good reminder for me about the importance of understanding what lies behind what you are shooting at – as it could have turned out so much worse.
That is frightening. I hope that idiot got slapped with reckless endangerment. I'll never look at road signs with buckshot holes in 'em the same way.
In my case, I don't think the police caught the idiots. It happened about 30 years ago so my recollection is somewhat vague on certain details / aspects of the situation. What I do remember very clearly is being rather impressed by the fact that a bullet could pass through a metal sign, travel roughly a 1/4 mile, and then put a pretty good-sized dent in a metal door. I remember thinking that the impact would clearly still been enough to kill someone had it hit something vital (head, neck, heart, balls, etc.). I also remember my father using it as a teaching moment – he lectured me on gun safety and told me that if I ever did anything as stupid as that – then the only guns I would get would be from Toys-R-Us.
It is precisely incidents like these that convince the average person with no experience around guns that guns are dangerous. Funny thing is — they are! There are way too many YT videos showing yahoos havin' a hollerin' hoot shooting off their guns. And they are a hoot. But they are also serious business. I understand why my anti-gun friends pillory those videos. I also understand why some guys stay in their trucks parked behind a hill when some "commando" does an AR mag dump at the public range (The one frequented by the, um, citizen in the speedo). We can call 'em toys, but they are NOT toys. On our property we have an addendum to Cooper's rules: Know where everyone is before shooting. No fun is worth a stray bullet in a family member.
Guns ARE dangerous. They're meant to be. Using them safely should be the main concern of every gun owner. Not pointing it or shooting it recklessly should be understood or you shouldn't be messing around with the damn things.
But you have to remember that a gun is ALWAYS pointed at SOMETHING.
And, if it's for self protection, it's loaded.
When you carry it, depending on where on your body you carry it, it will be pointed at you or at someone else at times. When you put it on the bedside table, it's pointed at something that has something behind it. When it's locked in the portable gun safe in your car's console, it's pointed at something, possibly someone.
Since even responsible people sometimes can't really control, or even know for sure, where the gun points, they violate the first rule of gun safety. However, by being aware and following the other safe-handling rules, guns can still be made as safe as possible. But will the practice of owning and using guns ever be truly, 100% safe? No. But neither will any other activity.
Excellent summation of the conundrum of gun handling. There is truly no safe place to point a gun (unless it is on target and the backstop is safe), only directions that are more safe.
To do unintentional harm with a firearm usually requires breaking two of Jeff Cooper's 4 Rules. Unfortunately, in this case and others like it, and in many hunting accidents, only one rule was broken, and that was enough to cause an unnecessary and tragic death. That's why Rule #4 is such a bitch and requires more thought and planning than the other three. A shooter can follow the first three rules religiously and still cause injury or death by breaking the last.
It will be interesting to see how much jail time the guy gets. To me, cases like this are a lot like the DUI reckless homicide cases insomuch that you can incur significant crimminal sanctions without ever manifesting criminal intent to harm anybody – it's a crime that stems from a lack of thought, as opposed to a specific evil thoughts or intentions. In Oregon, if you drive over the limit and, in the process, cause an accident that results in a fatality, you will get 10 years for every person that gets killed. I know of one guy doing thirty years because he caused a head-on collision that killed three people. Thus, a few careless/thoughtless moments can result in significant long-term change in your living arraignments.
1. ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.
This is the primary rule of gun safety. A safe direction means that the gun is pointed so that even if it were to go off it would not cause injury or damage. The key to this rule is to control where the muzzle or front end of the barrel is pointed at all times. Common sense dictates the safest direction, depending on different circumstances.
2. ALWAYS keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.
When holding a gun, rest your finger on the trigger guard or along the side of the gun. Until you are actually ready to fire, do not touch the trigger.
3. ALWAYS keep the gun unloaded until ready to use.
Whenever you pick up a gun, immediately engage the safety device if possible, and, if the gun has a magazine, remove it before opening the action and looking into the chamber(s) which should be clear of ammunition. If you do not know how to open the action or inspect the chamber(s), leave the gun alone and get help from someone who does.
enough said.
Okay, I have a question about #3: are we assuming that home defense and carry guns should always be "ready to use"? Otherwise, that rule would be difficult to follow while still being able to respond in an emergency.
So, FPSRussia shoots at water without eye protection. Are you trying to suggest the water will bounce the bullet back towards the shooter? Really?
Your example was of a person shooting at a lake and the bullet passing over or bouncing off the water and hitting someone on the OTHER SIDE.
But hey, if you can squeeze in a jibe at your favourite nemesis… why not, eh?
Not overlooking the tragedy at all. Truly, I feel for the family and the loss of a precious child.
But I adamantly oppose the proposed law. The existing law already covers the cirme. He was an idiot and his idiocacy led to the death of a child. He faces 1-7 years in prison and the felon tag for the rest of his life. Legislators may want to move up the sentencing, but the law already has a punishment for what he did.
Addind a new law that makes discharging a gun a felony (except under certain circumstances) is a fishing license for LEO abuse of the 2A.

Shire Hall education bosses and head teachers will come face to face to talk about plans which could see three secondary schools close.
The event has been organised by BBC Radio Gloucestershire in response to hundreds of calls and e-mails to the station about the proposals.
The event is taking place at Gloucester's Crypt Grammar School.
Uncertain future
A total of 13 secondary schools in Gloucester, and all the county's sixth forms, are affected by what is being billed as the biggest shake-up in education since comprehensives were introduced.
Last year, Ofsted said the provision of sixth form education in the county was "unplanned, uneconomic and ill-fitted to the needs of many students in smaller schools."
Under the review, sixth form provision at the smallest schools could end, and a new college could be created in Gloucester Docks, or linked to Gloscat.
The Crypt School in Gloucester, which dates to 1539, looks certain to close, or be merged with Ribston High School.
Oxtsalls and Central Technology also face an uncertain future.

text: One of the most important things you can do, either when launching a new firm or when re-invigorating your existing firm (especially after a new merger), is to conduct a SWOT analysis. This means you make an honest assessment of your internal Strengths and Weaknesses while also analyzing your external Opportunities and Threats. By taking the time to conduct this analysis you will gain a fresh perspective on what your firm offers, what obstacles may face you, what competitive challenges you have to overcome, and what barriers to growth exist now or might exist going forward. Everyone at the firm, including administrative assistants, staff accountants, managers and partners, should participate so that you have suggestions and ideas from a wide range of different viewpoints. Going through the process enables you to plan ahead, position the company for success, and take the guess work out of your marketing endeavors. Having access to real business intelligence is an added advantage for any firm of any size!

Audrey Tautou Admires Coco Chanel's "Independence And Freedom"
The lovely Audrey Tautou is currently doing press for "Coco Avant Chanel," which we love since we get to hear her speak in her beautifully accented, somewhat broken English. (Plus, it shows a few scenes from the film that weren't in the trailer.) What does Audrey think makes Coco so great? "She was a woman at a time when women were not as equal as men, and she managed to win her independence and her freedom." Watch the interview at MarieClaire.co.uk

'On second thought, I'd like to kill you,' so Cruise says heartlessly, warning his enemy that he's not someone to mess around with.
The full-length trailer for "Jack Reacher" has been dropped, giving a longer look at Tom Cruise as the fan-favorite antihero. Cruise is featured as a fearless ex-military cop who stands on the right side but doesn't want to be called a hero. "Do you think I'm a hero? I am not a hero," he says at one point. "I have nothing to lose, and if you're smart, that scares you."
At the same time, the skilfull badass is not the kind of man anyone wants to mess around with. "On second thought, I'd like to kill you," so Cruise claims at another point, threatening a villain who kidnaps a female lawyer. "He doesn't care about the law. He doesn't care about proof. He only cares about what's right," so a voicever adds at the end of the video.
In "Jack Reacher", when a gunman takes five lives with six shots, all evidence points to the suspect in custody. On interrogation, the suspect offers up a single note: "Get Jack Reacher!" So begins an extraordinary chase for the truth, pitting Reacher against an unexpected enemy, with a skill for violence and a secret to keep.
The movie is adapted from Lee Child's bestselling novel with Christopher McQuarrie serving as the director and co-writer. Joining Cruise in the cast ensemble are Rosamund Pike, David Oyelowo, Richard Jenkins, Alexia Fast, Robert Duvall and Jai Courtney. The film will be released in the U.S. on December 21.

Saturday was surreal. It was weird enough to refresh Mets Blog and Twitter every 10 minutes for 12 hours but even stranger was the column posted by the New York Post's Ken Davidoff, which to the average reader amounted to nothing more than a hatchet job on R.A. Dickey. If on Friday you asked me to describe what I thought R.A. Dickey was like, there would have been no shortage of words and all of them would have been positive. Honest, articulate, intelligent, charitable, hard-working, and survivor would probably have been the first ones to jump to mind. Among the fan base, I don't think it's too far fetched to say he was beloved. And now, Davidoff is painting a portrait of Dickey as an out of control narcissist. The reaction has not been pretty. On the story itself, there are over 40 comments and just about all of them call the author to task for writing such an unflattering piece. In the blogosphere, Sam Page from Amazin' Avenue opened a can of whoop ass on the article. Abo...

The move - favoured by eight out of the board's nine members - had been widely expected in the wake of recent turmoil in financial markets worldwide.
Board member Atsushi Mizuno was the only member who favoured raising rates.
While Japan's economy has been recovering, recent data has implied a slowdown. Analysts had feared a rate rise could hamper further growth.
In its monthly report which came out just after the rates decision, the Bank left its assessment of the economy unchanged, saying it continued to expand moderately - mainly driven by exports.
Meanwhile figures from the Finance Ministry released on Wednesday showed the trade surplus had shrunk - the first drop in nine months - resulting from higher fuel prices that had increased the cost of imports.
The country last raised rates in February from 0.25% - its first rise since July 2006.
A few weeks ago it had been expected that Japan would raise rates as early as August.
But with financial markets worldwide struggling from problems triggered by a crisis in the US mortgage sector, analysts began to expect that the Bank of Japan would keep rates on hold.
The combination of a weaker US economy - Japan's largest trading partner - and the stronger yen, which makes Japanese goods more expensive relative to other countries' products, both threaten to undermine Japan's recovery.

Do you believe in miracles? Yes, the famous Al Michaels call when Team USA beat the Soviet Union in the 1980 Olympic games implies here, because hockey fans have just received a miracle.
The NHL and NHLPA announced today that the framework of a new CBA has been agreed upon. The two sides reportedly agreed on the framework at 4:40 am, but no information has been released regarding scheduling or how many games will be played.
"Don Fehr and I are here to tell you that we have reached an agreement on the framework of a new Collective Bargaining Agreement, the details of which need to be put to paper," NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman told NHL.com. "We have to dot a lot of I's and cross a lot of T's. There is still a lot of work to be done, but the basic framework has been agreed upon. We have to go through a ratification process and the Board of Governors has to approve it from the League side and, obviously, the players have to approve it as well. We are not in a position to give you information right now about schedule, when we are starting. It's early in the morning and we have been at this all day and all night, obviously. But, we will be back to you very shortly, hopefully, later today with more information in that regard."
Once the deal is put on paper and formally approved by both parties, the NHL can begin to plan its shortened season, which is believed to begin around Jan. 19 to give teams a chance to hold a short training camp.
"Any process like this in the system we have is difficult; it can be long," Donald Fehr told NHL.com. "I've said repeatedly throughout this process, somebody would say, 'What do you see ahead?' And, the answer was, 'You get up tomorrow and you try to find a way to do it and you keep doing that until you find a way to succeed. As Gary just indicated, we have the framework of a deal. We have to do the legal work and we have to do the constituent-communication work. At least, from my [standpoint], and I'm sure Gary's too, we need to let them know the details before we tell all of you. Having said that, hopefully, we're at a place where all those things will proceed fairly rapidly and with some dispatch and we'll get back to what we used to call business as usual as fast as we can."
The formalities still remain, but the NHL has saved a season, and possibly its brand by finding a way to come to an agreement. More details will be reported as they become available.Tags: Buffalo, Buffalo Sabres, Hockey, NHL

Japanese Ramen Recipes – Tsukemen (ã¤ã'麺)
Couple weeks ago, my friend, Yuji brought me a new product of Japanese Fresh Noodle, "Tsukemen" ã¤ã'麺 from Japan. This is my first time to have Tsukemen and I really enjoyed it special taste. Easy to prepare and enjoying the real taste of Tsukemen outside Japan.
Tsukemen is similar to ramen but the noodles are served separate from the soup. The noodles are to be dipped into the soup like you would with cold soba. The noodles are usually best served cold while the soup is hot. You can add in others ingredients like leeks, bambooshoots, diced char sui pork, etc.
The instant fresh Tsukemen comes with a special Tsuke-tare (ã¤ã'ãŸã'Œ) for dipping sauce. And the preparation is as easy as the below 4 steps :
Step 1, Cook the Ramen in boiled water about 5mins depending of your favorites (soft/hard of noodles).
Step 2, prepare the dipping sauce by adding 100ml hot water into a bowl. Mix in the dipping sauce.
Step 3, drain the ramen into a colander and cool them by rinse under tap water.
Step 4, transfer ramen to a serving bowl, serve with the dipping sauce.
Enjoy the cool Tsukemen dipping in hot dipping sauce

Online Extra: 49ers shut down Falcons in 2nd half
By GEORGE HENRY
Associated Press
ATLANTA — Everything was going wrong for the San Francisco 49ers and their proud defense.
Julio Jones and the Atlanta Falcons gouged them so often in the early stages of the NFC title game that the 49ers seemed too stunned to respond.
"It was us, it wasn't them at all," San Francisco linebacker NaVorro Bowman said. "We weren't communicating, playing the way we want to play. We regrouped in the second half and played our game."
They certainly did.
Bowman, Patrick Willis and Ahmad Brooks combined to stop the Falcons 10 yards short of the end zone in the closing minutes of a 28-24 victory Sunday that sent San Francisco to the Super Bowl for the first time since 1995.
The 49ers will play Baltimore for the NFL title in New Orleans on Feb. 3. The Ravens beat the New England Patriots 28-13 in Sunday's AFC title game.
After Bowman essentially sealed the game by breaking up a fourth-down pass from Matt Ryan to Roddy White with 1:09 remaining, the Falcons had time to run just one more desperate play before the buzzer sounded.
It was yet another big play for a defense that clamped down on Ryan and Atlanta's high-powered passing attack over the final 30 minutes.
"They've got some horses, man," San Francisco defensive tackle Justin Smith said. "They made it tough on us. We made some adjustments at half, played a little bit better, but our offense picked up a lot of slack today, kept us rolling, kept us in it and we were able to win it."
The Falcons got off to a dominant start as Ryan and Julio Jones combined for a pair of touchdowns that helped make it 17-0 early in the second quarter and 24-14 at halftime.
But midway through the third, cornerback Chris Culliver intercepted a pass at the San Francisco 38 that allowed the defense to build confidence.
Though the Niners' offense failed to score off the turnover when David Akers missed a 38-yard field goal attempt, defensive end Aldon Smith followed on the next defensive series by recovering Ryan's fumble on a botched shotgun snap.
The offense again failed to score when receiver Michael Crabtree lost a fumble at the Atlanta 1, but after forcing the Falcons to an ensuing three-and-out, the defense was delighted to see Frank Gore run for a 9-yard touchdown and a 28-24 lead.
"We believe in our offense," Willis said. "We understand that if we get stops, they're going to score points."
The turn of events contrasted sharply from the early stages of the game when the 49ers appeared to have no answer for Ryan, White, Jones and Tony Gonzalez.
By the first minute of the second quarter, Jones had scored two TDs, beating cornerback Tarell Brown both times. On the first score, it seemed that Brown mistakenly released Jones on a deep route, and the blown coverage allowed Jones to outrun free safety Dashon Goldson for a 46-yard score.
After Falcons kicker Matt Bryant's 35-yard field goal made it 10-0 on Atlanta's second possession, Ryan and Jones hooked up on a 20-yard TD. Jones caught the ball over his right shoulder in the left back corner of the end zone and deftly kept both feet inbounds to make it 17-0.
Jones and White combined for 226 yards receiving on 13 catches in the first half, many of them coming on underneath crossing routes as the two wideouts made several athletic plays.
In the second half, however, Jones and White combined for six catches and 62 yards.
Good fortune helped the Niners rally, too.
On the Falcons' final drive, cornerback Carlos Rogers fell down while covering slot receiver Harry Douglas on a deep pass near the right sideline, but San Francisco caught a big break when Douglas stumbled on his way to making a disputed 22-yard catch at the Niners 28.
Had he stayed on his feet, Douglas could have scored a touchdown on Atlanta's final drive.
"It made it tough on them," Rogers said. "Things like that happen. No excuses. We made the plays and were able to get off the field."
Such was the case throughout the regular season as the Niners ranked among the top four in scoring average, third-down efficiency, yards rushing and yards passing.
They just needed to reclaim their identity and prove they had moved past the disappointment of last year's NFC title game loss to the New York Giants.
"I don't really think it's destiny or anything like that written on the walls," Smith said. "It's the team that works the hardest, prepares the hardest and has the best players and coaching staff. You pour all that in together and it comes out pretty good at the end."

text: Politics 29 September 2011 Dave's warning to the Chancer Sign up for our weekly email * Ed Miliband's office instructed stewards on the doors of a trade union reception to bar the press. Perhaps the Labour leader feared a repeat of that unpleasantness at the Trades Union Congress conference when he was booed and hissed by the brothers and sisters. Maybe Brother Ed wanted to avoid the meeja hearing him use the daring C-word: "comrade". Or it could have been that risqué joke about Nick "30 Belt Notches" Cleggover screwing the country. This column's legman heard the C-word and the gag. Both went down well, apparently. The Hillsborough tragedy and Kelvin MacKenzie's heinous "the truth" slur on football fans remain raw in Liverpool, 22 years on. Labour MPs, freed from their fear of Rupert Murdoch, turned out in force at a "Don't buy the Sun" gig on the eve of the party's conference. My snout spied Luciana Berger, Kevin Brennan, Dave Anderson, Steve Rotherham and "Tommy Gun" Watson. Dirty-Digger-baiting Tommy Gun's status as a political celebrity was confirmed when Mick Jones, punk legend of the Clash, asked if he could be photographed with him. The MP should adopt one of the band's hit singles as his theme song: "Tommy Gun". The self-styled people's peer Baron (Maurice) Glasman of Stoke Newington, founder of Blue Labour and temperamental guru of Miliband, is fond of regaling interviewers with how poor he was. One of this column's sources was reading such a piece while in the first-class carriage of a Virgin train from London to Liverpool, when he looked up and noticed Baron Hard-Up sitting across the aisle. Nothing's too good for the workers, eh, noble lord? George Osborne, I gather, is now blaming his old chum and Downing Street neighbour Dave for the embarrassing W*****gate episode at the GQ awards. The Chancer of the Exchequer complains that Cameron put the wind up him by warning that he needed to tell a quick joke, then get off the stage fast, before the inebriated audience realised he was a Tory and started booing. In the event, they booed, mused my informant, because: "Ozzy wasn't just a Tory but a Tory w****r." Better late than never, I found out that Brother Ed had popped out with his wife, Justine, to the Lord Palmerston pub in the Dartmouth Park deck-shoe enclave of north London, where the couple reside - without advance spin, alerting snappers or post-booze briefings. Mondeo Man and Worcester Woman fancied a half of Strongbow and a Tizer. A worried drinker spluttered that Miliband might be a little more normal than he looks. The things you hear about MPs at conferences: Labour's Erith and Thamesmead MP, Teresa Pearce, competed in the late 1980s with her family on the BBC1 game show Telly Addicts. The host, Noel Edmonds, booted off the Pearces when they failed to answer the question: "Who is Dicky Mint?" How life might have turned out differently if they'd known Mr Mint was one of Ken Dodd's Diddy Men. Kevin Maguire is associate editor (politics) of the Daily Mirror Kevin Maguire is Associate Editor (Politics) on the Daily Mirror and author of our Commons Confidential column on the high politics and low life in Westminster.

A lot of images from the carnival, mine or other's, tend to crop the subject tightly and sometimes even the headgear is not showing in full. Yes, those images tend to have more impact, it seems. However, I remembered that Eve, the lady on the right, told me last year as we walked together to the Arsenale that she also put a lot of effort to her costume. On some instances, she would like to show off the entire costume and matching acessories and not only from the waist up. In this case, I whole heartedly agree and here it is, close to a full length shot, at least.
