Food shelf saw need rise again
The Wadena food shelf saw seen an increase in the number of families seeking sustenance every quarter in 2010.
Thrivent Financial for Lutherans is one of many private groups lately making donations to the food shelf, also known as Project Share of Wadena.
According to a press release, members of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans and the communities in Wadena and Todd Counties organized and supported 13 fund raising activities for families in need in 2010. A total of $10,000 was used to benefit people in Todd and Wadena counties and $8,507 was provided as supplemental funding to the seven food shelves within the two counties. The 13 individual benefits raised a total of $42,890 beyond the initial $10,000.
Carol Aspengren of Wadena is the director of congregational advocates for the Wadena-Todd Chapter of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.
Aspengren and food shelf organizers Mary Pierce and Mary Ann Hagen said that Christmas in Wadena, Fair Oaks, the senior center, Humphrey Manor and local businesses such as Wal-mart and Mason Brothers have made donations as well, and that giving increases during the holidays.
The Red Cross and Salvation Army also gave after the June 17 tornado. However, the volunteers said post-tornado activity at the food shelf was not as busy as anticipated due to help from churches, Salvation Army and neighbors taking care of each other.
Aside from cash donations, volunteer time and food donations are accepted. The Cub Scouts also do a food drive.
While the food shelf is well-known for taking non-perishable food items, they also accept fresh produce which is distributed quickly and hygiene items such as toothpaste, toilet paper, soap and cleaning supplies.
Hagen said that USDA sets an income guideline to determine who is eligible for aid.
The Wadena food shelf serves the communities of Wadena, Deer Creek, Bluffton, Aldrich and Verndale. It is a nonprofit run entirely by volunteers.
Meant to be a sustaining emergency supplement after a paycheck and/or assistance has run low, the food shelf provides about 3 or 4 days worth of food to hungry individuals and families who may stop in once a month.
Donors and those in need of food can go to the food shelf during regular hours on Mondays and Thursdays from 9-11:45 a.m., and the contact phone number is (218) 632-5335.
In emergencies, contact food shelf board chair Jeanette Baymler.

2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 stalks lemon grass, white parts only, finely chopped
2 Thai hot peppers, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons grated lime rind
1 vegetable bouillon cube
1 teaspoon powdered galangel ginger
4-5 shallots
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 cup raw peanuts, chopped
1 pound extra firm tofu, pressed and finely chopped
juice of 1 lime
1 bunch scallions, white and green parts, chopped
bunch of cilantro (about 30 stalks), chopped
1/8-1/4 cup finely chopped mint leaves, optional
1. Heat sesame oil in wok or large pan. Add lemon grass, being sure to discard the most fibrous parts, and cook for 5-7 minutes. Meanwhile, wrap tofu block in a dish towel and put a weight on top, so that extra water is pressed out.
2. Add chili peppers. Use less if you don't like it spicy, or take out the seeds. Add lime rind, vegetable bouillon, powdered galangel, and shallots. Cook until shallots become translucent and lemongrass is edible.
3. Add garlic and raw peanuts. Cook for 4 minutes.
4. Add chopped tofu and mix. Squeeze the lime juice into the mixture. Cook for 5 minutes or so, letting the extra water escape.
5. Add scallions, cilantro, and mint (if using). Cook until wilted and hot.
6. Serve on a bed of lettuce, with fresh tomato slices and hot rice on the side.
Source of recipe: This recipe was inspired by the wonderful Thai restaurant, Esan Thai Restaurant, in Bloomington, Indiana. They offer this dish with tofu and meat, but all the recipes I have been able to find used meat and even otherwise were never were quite right. After experimenting, this at least approximates the taste of their dish. I read that "larb" simply means "salad."

As America and its coalition partners lurch toward the 2014 deadline for withdrawing from Afghanistan, the shaky prospects for cementing gains in the decadelong war are becoming clear. The security situation has vastly improved. But Taliban and al-Qaida forces still function effectively enough to frustrate the Western ideal of creating a stable, democratic society. Afghan President Hamid Karzai is a fickle partner who relies on Western troops and aid but demonizes NATO when it suits his domestic purposes. Europe is exhausted militarily and financially. And the United States faces new Afghan demands to cut back on counterterrorism operations, which are the most effective tool in the military campaign against the insurgency.
The atmosphere going into Monday's donor conference on Afghanistan was bleak enough even before Karzai laid out a laundry list of needs that would make his country a charity case for another two decades. In an address to representatives from dozens of nations and donor groups in Germany, Karzai said Afghanistan would need military and political support "for at least another decade" following the planned pullout of foreign troops in 2014. And he said Afghanistan would need continued financial assistance until 2030. Anything short of that, he warned, could bring the Taliban back to power, returning extremist rule and making the country again an epicenter for global terrorism.
These are not the words that war-weary Americans want to hear, and they expose the stark realities that the administration faces as it pursues a long-term security arrangement with the Karzai government. Americans are focused on ending the war, and the withdrawal deadline was supposed to induce the Afghan government to take charge of its security. Now Karzai is turning his failures into an argument for an extended military presence. Both sides have an interest in maintaining some relationship. But Karzai cannot seriously suggest that the United States is only at the midpoint of this war. And his insistence that night raids being carried out by U.S. Special Forces be halted shows that he is not committed to contributing to any real strategic partnership. Karzai is more interested in self-preservation than any world view or vision for his country.
Night raids are invaluable against an insurgency waging war in the absence of any front line, and continuing them, under responsible conditions and despite their intrusive nature on the Afghan population, should be a condition for maintaining a U.S. military presence. The impasse over the raids speaks to the larger breakdown of trust on military cooperation behind the scenes. Karzai compounds the problem by giving his donors sticker shock and suggesting that without billions of additional dollars in the coming decades the war could end up producing an unwelcome result.
The question for Americans in the next two years, made harder by the smog of a presidential campaign, is whether Karzai can build a functional government versus the shell of a centralized one. Washington should not rush into any new security arrangement. It needs a clearer idea of whether Afghanistan is more committed to its security as a unified state and its fate as a common people.

Hi, from past experience with the 4 and 5000 series ATI cards, since the 6450 is supported on this system, does that mean any 6000 series card can be used (recognized by the BIOS)? I wish to install a 6770 Flex card to support 4 monitors for my trading software (I am currently using the 4 ports it came with, but the graphics is slow, in particular the i7 built-in GPU.)
The ATI software download file from ATI is the same for all the 6 series cards, which makes me think that to the BIOS, they appear the same (which seems to be supported by what I've read about higher-end 4 and 5 series cards working.)
And yes, I know there are power constaints, I now have a Corsair HX650w (semi-modular) power supply installed. And that from a tech support perspective, I'm on my own.
Thanks. Al
UPDATE: The answer is YES. I have an Asus 6670 card installed and working. Lenovo Diagnostics run and pass, and so far all application working as expected, just faster. See last entry for details.
Solved! Go to Solution.
As I understand you want to upgrade the graphic card.
The maximum supported graphic card which comes with this desktop is AMD Radeon HD 6450 1G (DVI+DP) FH
The mentioned 6770 Flex graphic card does not seems to tested on this desktop. So I would not recommend you to upgrade it to 6770 Flex graphic card.

Unfortunately, the 6450 isn't going to help me. It is barely better than the 5450 in there now (original to the system.)
Video card benchmarks are: 5450 = 312, 6450 = 361, 6770 = 1,749
Memory bandwidth is half what I had with my 2.5 yr old ThinkPad/docking station. I bought a desktop tower so that I could step up both my CPU (4x stronger) and graphics, only to be told that it is max'd at about my laptop's level. I'm now getting the occasional backout when I change to a different stock on my charting application -- never had that before, the 5450 appears to be struggling with real-time charts and trading screens.
I'm copying this from an older post:
"For M57 the ATI 4670 is supported, as long as your power supply is up to the task any of the ATI 4xxx is supported."
The question here is if the power supply can take it. I'm sure you can get up to a 6670, but at a 280w PS, power could be limiting above that - it MAY work.
I read somewhere that the motherboard in the M91P tower will support a video card only up to 75 watts. I don't know enough to know if that is because of the way too modest stock power supplies in these units (280 watts), or if this is something concerning the motherboard itself.
I'd appreciate someone weighing in on this one.
That is based on the 280 watt power supply. Higher-power cards require an external 6-pin power connection to provide more than 75 watts, the 280watt poer supply does not provide thid connection (or capacity for it). High-power cards ususally specify a 400 watt or greater power supply. The new HD 7750 looks like an ideal card for an M91p upgrade.
02-17-2012 10:29 AM - edited 02-18-2012 10:09 PM
75w is the limit of the PCIe bus (providing the power supply has ample capacity), after that, then you need to use "PCI" cable(s) from the power supply. The Corsair power supply I installed has two PCI cables with 2 connectors each. Graphics boards requiring more power will have two connectors.
While the stock power supply is rated at 280w, you don't want to be running at 100% for any length of time, especially an inexpensive model like the one installed. Probably the most you'd would to commit to would be 200w, although the fan noise might be unbearable. The sweet spot for power supplies is 50% utilization, in terms of noise, reliability, efficiency. AMD recommends having a 400w supply for the two AMD cards supplied in this system, the 5450 and 6450.
Good news in terms of the BIOS, when I was researching if an upgrade to a 6450 was worth it, I benchmarked my system with the 5450 and uploaded the results to compare against comparable systems with a 6450 (it's not, results are almost identical.) BUT, I found other uploaded Lenovo M91p benchmarks that have high-end graphics cards installed: Asus EAH6670, Nvidia GTX560 Ti (a high-end gaming card), and a Nvidia Quadro 600.
The Asus 6670 suits my purpose quite well, support for 3 monitors, lower power requirements and heat generated, quiet and more reliable components (Asus' Super Alloy -- graphics cards are notorious for failing early.) Reliability is equally important as fast response times for my trading app. My 4th monitor display is fairly static, I'll run it off the internal HD graphics. I've ordered one from Amazon (decent return policy), and should have it in a couple of days.
The challenge with a 7000 series AMD card is having it recognized by the BIOS. And, for me, being on the bleeding edge of tech.
Let us know how it goes. No reason to change from a 5450 to a 6450 - I believe they were actually the same chip re-named. 6670 is decent. I follow your reasoning ont he 7750 - it should work no problem, but let somebody else try first.
03-03-2012 10:39 AM - edited 03-24-2012 02:25 PM
The Asus 6670 worked very well, other than some intial fan noise, and running warm. System-wide temps were up as well, the stock cooling has little excess capacity. I'm using the 6670 with three 1920 x 1080 24" monitors, and it's reliable and very quick. When I enter a new stock symbol, the chart for it is almost immediate.
I addressed the cooling issues by adding vented PCI slot covers next to the graphics card, adding a front fan; and using SpeedFan to reduce the 6670 fan from the default 39% to 34 or even 29%, I eliminated most of the fan noise (bear in mind that I'm not gaming with it, it's mostly 2D graphical apps + web browsing.) The graphics card now averages about 43C, which is OK.
I used an Artic Cooling 92mm PWM fan and mounted it to the back of the front metal mesh behind the plastic cover using 3 silicone fan mounts, the 4th mount is behind the front USB port bracket. I could have bought the factory front fan (FRU # 43N9599), which has the proper plastic bracket, but that was more expensive and the Artic Cooling fan is virtually silent with better air flow. I connected the fan to the available 4-pin fan connector on the lower right edge of the motherboard.
The system is now cool across the board: hard drive 31C, cores avg 36C when I'm working. Overall a very worth well upgrade, and something the tower system should have been designed for from the start.
The details provided by BiggAl are excellent and very helpful.
I'm trying to find a decent video card for my M91P that isn't so wide as to block the short PCI-e slot right next to it. If there was ever anything that needed to be designed differently on this motherboard, this is it. I installed a PCI-e USB 3.0 card (because, of course, there is no native USB 3.0 support on the motherboard itself) in that short slot, and now I would like to have a video card that is more robust than the on-board video.
Has anyone else run into this problem? I don't think the video card that BiggAl is using will allow for use of the PCI-e slot.

New 2003 Forester 2.5X Silver Manual arrived today at dealers and we have instructions that it will be ready to pick up on Monday afternoon. AND we have to pick it up then and not later (June 30) because the special financing of 3.8% (in the USA it is 2.9%) ends June 30. Does that mean the clearance of 2003 Foresters is over?
No, there should still be '03 Foresters waiting to be bought up. It's only the 'special' financing offer that ends, barring any 'special' extension or new offers.
I have an appointment to get the new Forester rustproofed immediately at a local body shop. He suggested having it done again in the fall. I know Canadian Tire does this as well. I don't like to use the same rust-proofer twice in a row (one will get the spots the other one doesn't), so I would like to try Canadian Tire in the fall. Does anyone here have personal experience having rustproofing done at Canadian Tire? Are there any Canadians here at all (except me?)?
All right all you other backroad canucks, did you bother to put in a radiator screen ? - no, not one of those homely outside plastic grill covers. I mean the hidden one behind the grill - all of $4 and needing a skilled assistant with smaller hands (my daughter)to slide it through ? Sure beats an expensive rad job later on when you travel into the woods as often as we do. Her 1995 Legacy was a breeze compared to the newer closed and cramped rads. To Joybell: I'm sorry I didn't see your posting earlier - don't waste the money - just put it through the carwash regularly. Our 1995 above has NO RUST, gets polished once a year ( Turtle Wax ) and that's it. You can buy a lot of washes for the price of those fancy sprays and coatings. - Waterloo

I guess the rust situation all depends on where you live. I'm right on the main highway to Montreal, where the salt trucks come out as soon as we get a few flakes of snow. We have had too many cars (and trucks) rust out before wearing out mechanically. My brother, who lives in the Laurentians (where they use sand more than salt), had his car for over 10 years with not a speck of rust and he never rustproofed it. Another cause of rusting is humidity. He has a garage for his car, we don't. Our sheds are reserved for the more expense equipment (tractors, combine, other farm equipment). As for radiators, the one on my old Loyale (bought in 1992) is still good.
Hey lookee here....a "trusty Justy with no rusty" I couldn't believe that a 1989 Subaru with no rust could exist! I guess the owners didn't use it much. What a bargain!

time to get "accessorized". What would be places to look for stuff like bug shields, mud flaps etc. in Canada, other than Subaru dealers?
has a lot of stuff. Check it out first. Other than that I don't know. You asked on another board how long the 3.8% financing will last. Well, our dealer told us that we had to sign June 30th for our new Forester because the financing package was going to end in June. We did, and the 3.8% is still on. Of course neither Subaru or the dealers are going to tell you how long it will continue. They want to sell as many as fast as possible. Also, another dealer called me last week and offered a Forester 2.5x $400 lower, but we alreay had ours. So there must be some additional incentive there for July that didn't exist in June. Of course if you wait to long you may not have a choice, or there may be none left at all.
Hi, anybody ever used Johnson Inc. for insurance in Canada? Got a good quote from them and seriously considering taking it, just doing my homework.
Anybodu knows of a reliable window tinting shop in Alberta, that they would care to suggest?
Joybell, thanks for the info, I'm close to finalizing my deal, will let you know how it went.
Hi-Tech Tinting in Edmonton has done an excellent job tinting two of our Subarus.
just for your info (and to get this thread going again)
Besides roadside assistance, Subaru Care entitles you to other small goodies that your provincial branch of CAA offers to its members. In Alberta with AMA, that includes free maps and discounted hotel rates (those can be substantial in my experience).
Is it like having a full CAA membership?
looks like. One of these days I'm going to get my international driver's permit, so I'll be able to tell if I get a break; it used to be around 50% - free photos
The only service that I found wasn't included with the Subaru Care vs regular CAA (AMA in Alberta) was free registration for license plate renewal or registration for a new vehicle. This service would be a charge if you only had Subaru Care.
I've continued my AMA membership for the free registration as well as roadside assistance for our other two vehicles that are not covered by Subaru Care (unless I trade in our old subies and buy two new subies!!)
subkid, I know you are here in Kleinland... who did your 3M hood protection (I'm pretty sure you were posting about this before). SoC is quoting $300-ish for the job, but that seems high (unless they are doing mirrors/rear bumper as well).
frying - I got both tint and clear shield from Supertint (so you get some kind of discount for both - around $320). I have X, so no bumpers and mirrors, just hud and the small mustaches on fenders.
Although I know they send it out. $450 for everything; tinting + 3M on hood, lights, mirrors and fenders. Decided against the security upgrade. I'll try "The Club" for awhile and see how much it annoys me. Only other option (the XS is pretty well loaded anyway) was the extended armrest. I pick 'er up on Tuesday night. Went with white exterior because I thought the tinting would look better with it, and there was no silver easily available for comparison.
pathstar1 Posts: 1,015Surfer Joe in Edmonton has done 3 of my vehicles so far. He does a good job. His main income is from putting "decoration" on cars for dealers (stripes, fancy swirles etc.). He has his own material cutter driven from a computer, so he can replicate your own design or come up with his own, as well as designs he gets from specialists.
Hi guys. N00b here. Check out my inaugural post over in Meet The Members. We just took delivery of a '04 Impreza TS wagon, and need some accessories; Cargo tray, cargo cover, splash guards, etc. I would prefer not to have to pay the stealer's prices, have any of you had any luck finding Canadian online accessory retailers, or used any of the ones from South of the 49th?
I am also thinking about the Clear guard stuff, any comments on the various types, that is, is 3M the best? Any comments on Calgary installers would be appreciated, too. Has anyone tried to do this themselves? Also, what is the consensus on the hood deflector for the Impreza, is it worth it?
I'm dreading the winter months and the,'ahem', sand that the City uses on the streets is more like pea gravel. Anything that could help protect our new car's paint would be considered.
Regards, Owen
rbleland Posts: 312Call me slow but I just found this Cdn. Subie site. I have been a lurker/occasional poster on Edmunds Subie and Toyota Solara sites for about 18 months now. I have an '02 Impreza 2.5 TS wagon, midnight black met. (really is a very dark blue) with standard shift. Got it in March 02 as a replacement for '00 Toyota 4Runner that was too expensive to drive and no fun on ice/snow (SUVs totally over-rated as winter vehicles). Live in Kelowna, B.C. and run 4 winter snows on extra steel wheels. Combo. of AWD, standard shift and 4 snows make it the best winter car ever. Added cargo cover, cargo net, rear bumper rubber strip (for dog scratches) and front deflector (which someone asked about above and I think actually does work to deflect stones, etc). Also ran a silver pin-stripe down both sides of TS which really sharpens up the appearance (cost me only $35). My wife owns a '99 Toyota Solara SLE V6 which we just bot out of the lease. Car is suberb with only 47,000 on it. It's an auto. and we run 4 snows on it in winter too. Glad to see this sub-site for Cdn. Subie owners. :>))
Frying Bologna on his new Forester!! We also recently dealt with Sub of Calgary, they seemed really easy to work with, and low pressure. Tell us more about the 3M protection. Is it very noticeable? Does it seem to form around tight curves well? Did you find out where the dealer has it done?
You mentioned some noise on another discussion, maybe from the crossbars (if you have them)? If you don't use them regularly, may as well take them off. They go off and on pretty easily when required. Also, if you choose to keep them on, maybe check the orientation of them, I think they're direction specific. Can someone with a newer 'F' verify that?
Anyway, enjoy your car, my '98 L is still running fine at 120K km, and I'm sure the clever gentlemen at FHI have made many improvements since then (even if you ignore the powerplant in the XT!).
Cheers, Owen

Cheers Pat.
the 3M protection, aka ClearBra, aka StonGard,...
it will form around tight curves, dependent on the finese and experience of installer.
Noticeable? Applied on White and Silver, it is virtually invisible. On darker colours, its presence is detectable.
We have the 3M on our dark grey Accord and on my white Forester. Both look great, but it is a bit more noticeable on the Accord. After a year and 30K KM, I was looking at the Accord tonight and looking at the deep gouges in the 3M along the hood. Money well spent!
The Forester was farmed out to Shadow Tinting in Calgary, who also did the (so far) flawless tint on the windows.
I really like the Forester after a week, and my wife might even like it more than me - and she drives a new Accord EX!! Road trip up to Edmonton this weekend, so it will face its first real test. Cross bars came off as soon as I got in the garage; I think those Geolanders might be responsible for the howl. I am going to get the factory security system installed next week. The Club is back at Canadian Tire.
I'm back after a vacation. Had a chance to test drive a couple of European vehicles, some significantly cheaper than Forester, and "wishful thinking" forum will have to hear from me
frying, how do you like it so far? I was wondering why you switched from club to the security upgrade - I was thinking of going other direction
Great drive! Very good highway gas mileage, average in the city (but great considering AWD). The snow we got blasted with, along with the icy streets, have been a dream! I have never driven a better ice-vehicle than this. Especially at glazed intersections, it cannot be beat.
I think the club would drive me nuts, in that (a) it is a pain to install, and (b) I would be doubting myself all the time when I should and should not throw it on. While the Subaru security system is not the greatest, I know I can arm it every time, and my insurance company will be happier because of it!
I also had the armrest extension installed - oh, man, what a joke! Waste of cash there - it is so cheap, flimsy and useless, but I needed more storage somewhere. Can you let me know if your drivers-side door handle (where I rest my left arm as I drive) feels/sounds "cheap" when you lean on it? It gives a bit when I lean, and when I shift my weight on or off of it, or "groans" like a cheap piece of particle board would.
I have a 2003 2.5x Forester. Yesterday it was extremely cold. I started my Forester and then went back to the house while it warmed up. When I came back out 3-5 minutes later, there was a coolant smell and the temperature gauge was way up past the halfway point. I drove it anyway (had no choice), and the gauge dropped back down to normal again after 5 minutes of driving. Today it is even colder and I don't dare start it. With all the posts on 2.5L engine head gasket failures all over the internet (even on later model engines), I'm biting my nails. After almost 20 years of Subaru ownership, this is the first time I have had to worry about anything like this. I thought the problem was finally fixed on the 2003/04 models. I fell stupid calling the dealer if it is only a minor thing (not the head gasket).
ateixeira Posts: 72,587Just watch the gauge the next couple of times you start it up. You really don't want to let it overheat.
I think I would call the dealer, only to have the incident registered. Or call 800-SUBARU3 to simply open a case file on it.
They're covering them under the powertrain warranty, so you're OK for a long time, plus we have Patti to ensure that.

Durban - A R1.8 billion increase in its budget for the 2014/15 financial year was "inadequate" to address the historical backlogs in the KwaZulu-Natal education system, MEC Peggy Nkonyeni said on Tuesday.
However, she acknowledged that the budget had grown considerably from R26bn in 2009/10 to the current R39bn.
The financial woes of the KZN Education Department are well known. It has repeatedly complained of being severely underfunded, while most of its budget goes to paying salaries.
Its infrastructure catch-up programme would be compromised, Nkonyeni warned on Tuesday.
The department is, however, forging ahead with its "transformation of the schooling system" programme, initiated by former education MEC and now KZN Premier Senzo Mchunu. The ambitious project aims to merge small, unviable schools with larger, better resourced schools, to inject more funding into technical schools and establishing maritime and agricultural schools.
The department plans to finish the construction of 20 new schools this year and to build 1 350 classrooms over the 2014/15 period. More than 300 schools will be connected to the electricity grid, and toilets will be provided to another 325.
The department also intends for a small number of KZN schools to be able to boast wi-fi.
Nkonyeni's budget was greeted with resounding support from her fellow ANC MPLs who emphasised the educational opportunities now available to children of impoverished parents, and KZN's improved pass rate.
Responding, DA MPL Mbali Ntuli called for matric marker competency tests to be introduced and for the province to no longer be "at the mercy of Sadtu".
Some ANC MPLs did not take kindly to this, however, saying they would not allow Sadtu to be "demonised" simply because it was affiliated to the ANC.

Dermatology Questions? Ask an Online Dermatologist.
I just uploaded 3 picture...2 neck and one face. Currently not as bad as it sometimes gets....can you confirm that you received the pictures? Thanks
Intermittently...seems to be more frequent over the last 6 months...approx 1-2 times/month; also itchy. Lasts different time periods...anywhere from a few day to a week. It has been happening for about 18 months...sorry cannot be more specific....probably waited longer than i should have...more annoying than anything else. Tried benedryl (po and topical) and OTC topical lotions for both ezcema and psoriasis with no relief.
Do not think it is sunlight as no worse in summer or on vacations in south. have not changed cosmetics (actually use hypoallergenic makeup and detergent)...do not wear scarfs. I also tried to keep area open when it starts "acting up" as much as possible..cannot think of anything else that I haven't told you. Also, would eczema just show up on your neck as i have googled both eczema and psoriasis prior to e-mailing you and they appear more scaly and the pictures didn't resemble mine...also they didn't seem to be as localized as mine are (to chest, neck and face). Have you seen something different in your practice?
That is what I was thinking...I will schedule an appointment with my PCP and a dermatologist to try and see what this is so it can be treated....thanks for the advice (wish it was more definite but know it is difficult via e-mail).
Have a good day.

Kenny Kerner
How many times have you heard people tell you that patience is a virtue?
Dozens? Hundreds, maybe? Well, Dorothy Sea Gazeley, this month's subject
for our Passenger Profile, knows all too well how to reap sweet rewards
by being patient. Excessively patient; patient to a fault.
Dorothy is a
full-time songwriter; a professional. Among her achievements are some
65-70 songs recorded by such artists as Patti LaBelle, Atlantic Starr
June Pointer, Tracie Spencer, Kool & the Gang and Jellybean, among others.
And, oh yeah, Barbra Streisand--but we'll get to that later.
The inspiration
to become a professional songwriter came by surprise during Dorothy's
former day job as a public school music teacher. Since she enjoyed writing
songs and musical plays for the children, she enrolled in ASCAP's songwriting
workshop. Little did she dream that it would lead to a career change,
numerous charted singles, film and TV credits and songs on one gold and
two platinum albums.
Right about now
you're probably trying to figure out what's wrong with this picture, right?
Here's a successful songwriter--successful for 15 years--with songs cut
by some of the biggest recording artists around, and she joins TAXI! What's
up with that? Let's let Dorothy explain: "Like most songwriters, I would
rather write than try to get my songs out there. I think it's too big
a task to do it all by myself. I like to live a balanced life and I like
to have as much fun as I possibly can, and if that means giving away some
of my profits or responsibilities to other people, then I am willing to
share. I heard about TAXI through Gloria Sklerov, a TAXI screener and
a writer I've always admired. I've known Gloria for quite a while and
we collaborated on a couple of songs which I'm very proud of. I discussed
joining TAXI with Gloria and it sounded like a good idea so I thought
I'd try it out."
All in all, if
we ended this profile right now, you'd have to say that Dorothy Sea Gazeley
is enjoying a fun-filled, lucrative career as a songwriter. But we saved
the best for last. Remember my little intro about having patience? Well,
Dorothy recently learned that one of her songs that was on hold for more
than four years, had just made its way onto Barbra Streisand's new multi-platinum
We'll let Dorothy
recall the story for all of us to enjoy: "About four years ago, one of
my collaborators, Allan Rich, called me and said that a friend of his
asked him to write an inspirational song for her. He asked me if I'd like
to collaborate with him and another writer, Marsha Malamet, who would
collaborate on the melody. I went to Allan's and we started talking. Allan
mentioned that he always wanted to write a song about lessons--so we began
to talk about how everything in life seems to teach you something, but
sometimes you're in a state of doubt or negativity and can't see the lessons
you're supposed to learn. From those talks, the song 'Lessons To Be Learned'
"When the song
was finished, Allan took it and played it for Ron Fair, (now Senior VP/A&R
for BMG Records) who got so excited about it that he called Jay Landers,
Executive Producer of Streisand's album, and told him about it. Landers
played it for Streisand, who liked it but held on to it for four long
years." And that's where the patience comes in. The writers believed so
much in their song that they did not shop it to other artists. They were
convinced that this song was meant to be recorded by Barbra Streisand
and had enough faith to keep waiting. "To me, this means more than any
song I've ever written," Dorothy continued, "I love writing inspirational
songs and the fact that this was recorded by someone like Barbra means
that so many more people will get to hear its message."
Her feet still
very firmly planted on the ground, Dorothy's advice to new songwriters
was also inspirational: whether it's songwriting or whatever you're doing,
you need to find the joy in it now and not think only of the end result.
We need to look for the joy and meaning in whatever we do--regardless
of how big or small. Then, do your very best and just let it go." Amen
to that!

Resolution to records request could come next week
A resolution to a request for records made to the city of Oskaloosa by the Independent in April may be resolved next week.Councilwoman Kathy Griffin said last week at the council's regular meeting on July 19 that she wants the issue resolved at the council's next regular meeting Aug. 2.
Griffin said she followed through on a letter that was sent to the Independent from County Attorney Jason Belveal notifying the Independent that his office was investigating the newspaper's request that was denied by Oskaloosa City Attorney Mike Hayes.
The copy of the letter the Independent received said the letter was also sent to Hayes' office. However, Griffin said that Hayes told her that his office did not receive the letter and that another copy was being provided.
Griffin said she had an extensive conversation with Belveal about the matter and also consulted another attorney. She also consulted the Kansas League of Municipalities.
She said the only thing she is waiting on is Hayes to return from vacation.
"From everything I have read and from all the people I have talked too I feel confident in following through with whatever the county attorney tells us to do," Griffin said. "We fully intend to comply once we hear back from the city (attorney)."
Griffin said she is also working on establishing an official procedure for records requests from the public.

Brian McDermott is calling on Leeds to stir back into life in front of the TV cameras at Hillsborough on Saturday.
The eighth-placed Whites head into the lunchtime derby against Sheffield Wednesday in urgent need of a morale-boosting victory.
Without a win since December 14, they are also licking their wounds from last week's embarrassing FA Cup exit to League Two Rochdale.
McDermott said: "I think that the last few games have been a wake-up call. If you look back at the Watford game we probably should have won it, we played some super football.
"Barnsley we could have won 1-0, and Blackpool we should have won 1-0.
"Then there was the Nottingham Forest and Blackburn games. When you look at the two teams we played, they were wake-up calls to me.
"We are certainly in a rut now and we need to get out of it. I think that the team seem to have run out of gas.
"We need to galvanise this team and I think that is probably going to come from outside the football club."
McDermott looks set to have two new wingers in place for the weekend.
Hull's Cameron Stewart has signed a three-year deal, having initially joined the club on loan.
Stewart has penned an initial temporary deal due to FIFA regulations preventing a player from featuring for more than two clubs in a season, other than on an emergency loan basis.
McDermott said: "Cameron fits the bill as the type of player we are looking to recruit here. He has pace, he gives us something different and he is hungry to do well."
McDermott added: "We were aware of Cameron's situation and rules are rules.
"By joining us in this manner, it means we have a player who we know will be here for the next three and a half years and we look forward to working with him for the long-term."
Leeds chairman Salah Nooruddin said: "We're delighted we've been able to secure the signature of Cameron.
"He is a young player who was attracting a lot of interest from clubs in the Championship, including a couple who are above us in the table at the moment, and he is a player Brian was keen to sign."
Leeds are also poised to sign Jimmy Kebe from Crystal Palace on loan until the end of the season.
McDermott is a big admirer of the Mali international after signing him for Reading in 2008. Kebe moved to Palace in September following the manager's dismissal but has not been involved under Tony Pulis.
The transfer activity is the first indication of cash made available by the Sport Capital group, who are hoping to buy a 75 per cent stake in the club.

Spending by tourists visiting the UK is expected to reach record levels in 2015
- Published by Ozgur Tore
Spending by tourists during trips to the UK is set to reach record levels in 2015 according to VisitBritain.
Forecasts from VisitBritain, the nation's tourism bureau, predict inbound tourism spend to rise by 4.5 percent in 2015 with visitors from overseas expected to spend £22.2 billion – an increase of almost £1 billion on 2014 (with spend forecast to be £21.3 billion for this year).
Culture Secretary Sajid Javid said, "The tourism sector is driving economic growth for Britain. The Olympic Games and Diamond Jubilee gave us a great platform to showcase the best of Britain but we didn't stop there and have kept up the momentum in the last two years.
"Britain has so much to offer tourists with our stunning countryside, great heritage and world-class sport and culture. Working closely with the tourism industry we will continue to champion the UK abroad as part of our long-term economic plan."
According to the nationwide tourism figures released growth from Chinese tourists has been particularly strong in the last four years and tourism bosses have recently unveiled plans to try to attract more Chinese visitors to Yorkshire and the UK.

The Athens-Clarke Economic Development Foundation has a new CEO, Matt Forshee, who is intent on finding success in building business, jobs and the economy in Athens.
Formed in 2002 as a nonprofit organization with the task of attracting and developing new business for job and investment creation in the Athens area, the foundation hosts a web of financial support from federal grants, to government agencies and hotel-motel tax, with Forshee leading the charge.
"Coming from a planning background, one of the things that always challenged me, it was the same thing day-in and day-out - I didn't like that," Forshee said. "The neat thing about being in economic development, you're never sure what the next day is going to be - it's a wide variation."
Graduating from the University of Georgia with a degree in landscape architecture, Forshee completed an internship with an architecture firm in Atlanta, and then returned to Athens to work as a planner in Oconee County. He was promoted to senior planner, but later was lured away to Fayette County to run the Fayette County Development Authority. He accepted the position of CEO for the Athens-Clarke EDF earlier this year.
Currently participating in the L.E.A.D Athens program, Forshee regards it as a great opportunity for him to learn about the nuances of the community and about himself.
"We love this community so much and were always interested in a way to get back here," Forshee said. "I can really make this job be whatever I want it to be ... on a personal level, it's all about seeing people move up and better themselves in life.
About Forshee
Age: 33
Profession/place of work: Athens-Clarke Economic Development Foundation Inc.
College background: Bachelor's of landscape architecture, University of Georgia
Your first paying job: Mowing the neighbors' yards and teaching music lessons to middle school students
Childhood ambition: To be an architect/astronaut/doctor/actor/singer/writer/stand-up comedian.
Community involvement: On church board of directors, Little League assistant coach
Favorite book: Thrillers, mysteries, classic sci-fi, histories, biographies and data driven books on the psychology of why people do the things they do
Favorite pastime: Spending time with family, photography, playing music, UGA sports, technology, movies
Favorite movie: "Indiana Jones," "Star Wars," "Die Hard," "Three Days of the Condor," "The Departed," "The Good Shepherd," "Ghostbusters," "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," "Young Frankenstein"
Favorite musical group: Anything I can sing along to
If you were the chief elected official of your community what immediate changes would you make? I don't know that there's anything I would necessarily change here in Athens, but there are two things I believe that every local government should focus on that many don't. First, recognize that any government employee who deals with the public needs regular and ongoing customer service training — it's much easier to maintain a positive relationship than try to rebuild a fractured one. Second, I believe we must recognize that economic development activities are just as much an infrastructure element as transportation and utilities.
How would you address poverty in a county like Athens-Clarke where the poverty rate is so high? To me, the solution to poverty is the proliferation of quality jobs — jobs that help raise our standards of living and our community work force infrastructure. We must focus on doing all we can to grow and attract jobs that raise the community's per capita income. All jobs are not equal and we can't waste limited resources on jobs that aren't going to help us grow and prosper as a community.

One distinction between public speaking and writing is that as speakers we can't hide—we are right out there for everyone to see. And that can cause a little (or a lot) of "performance anxiety." Our body language (the "picture worth a thousand words") sends powerful messages to an audience whether we intend it or not. So, how do we intentionally get our bodies to speak positively in favor of our message? Here are a few suggestions.
- Start with good speaking posture. When in doubt, stand tall and erect with conviction. A recommended posture is erect, leaning slightly forward and with the weight distributed equally on the balls of both feet. The feet should be spread about shoulder width. Standing tall and comfortably erect conveys confidence and improves breathing and voice quality. If your feet are too close together you will tend to sway and tire.
- Relax, be your everyday self. Notice the way you move your body and hands and your facial expressions in your everyday conversations with the people you know, like, and are comfortable with. Learn what are your natural movements and their impact on others. Use those same natural movements and facial expressions as your "core moves" in your presentations. But make them a little bit broader to accommodate a large space and a larger audience.
- Try hard to "weed out" negative body messages. Do not "lock up" or stand rigidly, rock back and forth, shift from foot to foot, slump your shoulders, let your arms droop at your sides, force an unnatural smile, jiggle coins or keys in your pocket, fidget with pens, glasses or other equipment, force an unnatural smile, stand with your arms crossed, or in the "fig leaf" posture (with your hands crossed in front of you defensively). Keep your hands away from your face, hair, and other body parts.
- Use gestures to enliven your presentation. They must be visible (above the waist or lectern). They should be natural, but they can be developed with practice. Unconscious movements or distracting gestures (repetitive, nervous, too small, hesitant, too quick, or mannered gestures) detract from presence. The keys to good gestures are naturalness, relevance, and variety.
- Try for a little variety in your gestures and movements. Some people's gestures are very repetitive. This is almost always unconscious and is generated often by nervousness. The problem is that they can bore or worse distract an audience. To start, you will need someone observing you (though videotape will do) to discover if you tend to do this. Once you identify the problem, you simply have to be a little more conscious and wean yourself off the repetitive gestures. We can all benefit, however, from more variety in our gestures. Learn to use your less dominant hand, feel free to slip your hand into your pocket or behind your back, hold a pen or a notepad (but not so long as to become a boring gesture). Use your fingers to count out serial points. Observe gestures you like used by others and see if they can naturally fit into your own repertoire.
- Get some movement going (just not too much). When you can, move about. Be graceful, but also be purposeful (as a way to unfold your message). Do not move while making important points. Do not pace. Do not let movement result in turning your back on the audience. If you can, move closer to the audience, but only if that is comfortable for you and them.
- Decide how you will work with (or without) the lectern. There is a powerful connecting message when speakers move out from behind the wall of the lectern and "expose themselves" to the audience. When circumstances permit, you should move away from the lectern for at least a part of your presentation. There will be occasions when no lectern is available. However, a lectern is often provided and sometimes its use is mandated or at least helpful. It can be used with positive effect. Determine how you look behind the lectern. If you are of smaller stature you may disappear back there. If you are very tall you may need to stoop to be able see your notes. Both are problems that need adjustment. Don't cling to the lectern. Rest your hands lightly on the lectern. This is a good position from which to gesture naturally. Stand back a little so you can move and will not have to look down to see your notes. If you must stay with the lectern, move to one side or the other rather than always squarely behind it.

Nissan posted a $4.28 billion full-year net profit and record sales as the Japanese automaker shrugged off the devastating impact of last year's quake-tsunami disaster on production.
Japan's second-biggest automaker on Friday said it earned 341.43 billion yen in the fiscal year to March, up 7.0 percent year-on-year, surpassing its forecast of 290 billion yen and bucking a national trend of falling auto profits.
The company said sales rose 7.2 percent to their highest-ever 9.41 trillion yen, even after 12 months that saw natural disasters and a high yen play havoc with many automakers' operations.
The firm posted an operating profit of 545.84 billion yen, up 1.6 percent on-year.
For the current year, Nissan said it expects a net profit of 400 billion yen, operating profit of 700 billion yen on sales of 10.3 trillion yen.
"Nissan has delivered robust operating profits and record sales amid growing demand for our models, brands and technologies around the world," Chief Executive Carlos Ghosn said in a statement.
"It is an even more encouraging performance given the headwinds created by natural disasters, an over-valued yen and uncertain global economic conditions."
Nissan's results stood in stark contrast to fellow Japanese auto titans Toyota and Honda whose full-year profits tumbled about 30.5 percent and 60.4 percent in the same period, respectively.
However, Nissan's rivals are forecasting a swift recovery this year, as they leave behind a year that many Japanese firms would prefer to forget.
The first six months of 2011 were torrid for the nation's manufacturers, with the lingering impact of the March earthquake-tsunami hamstringing production lines and electricity-saving measures squeezing capacity.
Nissan, Toyota and Honda all slashed production and shuttered plants because of power shortages and a component supply crunch.
All Japanese exporters are battling the crippling effects of a sky-high yen, which makes their products more expensive overseas and erodes repatriated profits.
Flooding in Thailand that created a component shortage also proved a drag for firms with plants in the Southeast Asian nation.

Everything reflects the glory of God. Behind our human connections there is the Divine connection: behind all human relationship there is the Divine relationship. Therefore our feeling for all should not be allowed to die. It should be transmuted. During the period of transition and transformation one may pass through a little indifference for a time. But if one holds the ideal clearly before oneself, and scrupulously follows the duties that are to be fulfilled, the former feelings return in a transmuted form, from which attachment has been eliminated, but in which the love for the Divine and the love for others through the Divine remains.
Two dangers are to be avoided. One is to love with human love and falsely call it divine. The other is to become too indifferent to even the right feeling, and be negligent of one's duties. Both are harmful to spiritual growth.
In order to be of real service to others, we should try to reflect the glory of the Divine in our own life. Then silence becomes more eloquent than eloquence itself, and if speaking be necessary, it too will prove helpful and effective. Furthermore we should practise self-surrender to the Divine in us and outside us. At present our personality is a combination of the false and the true self. As we grow spiritually, the higher self becomes more and more manifest. That which is real in us can never be lost.
Swami Yatiswarananda (1889–1966) of Ramakrishna Mission

UPDATE: TCU spokeswoman Lisa Albert said the anti-gay controversy with Chick-fil-A wasn't relevant to the conversations that began in the spring to bring the restaurant to campus.
Albert said university dining officials started student focus groups to determine what would drive them to the 1873 restaurant on campus to help limit an overflow of traffic at the campus dining hall. She added that while the company's anti-gay reviews were likely "part of the conversation" in the focus groups, students have been asking for a Chick-fil-A for years.
"I think that the controversy was sort of irrelevant," she said. "This was about what the students were wanting."
She said the decision to bring Chick-fil-A to the university's campus was made in the spring based on continued input from students about having it brought on campus. The announcement was made in the summer because that's when the contracts were signed.
Albert said the university partners with several vendors and companies, including a Starbucks on campus, but officials don't "support any political or personal opinions of those vendors."
"I certainly understand the sensitivity within the gay community toward Chick-fil-A, but at the end of the day, [the company's opinions] don't reflect the opinions of TCU," she said.
ORIGINAL POST: When students return to Texas Christian University's campus for classes on Aug. 19, they'll have Chick-fil-A as a dining option.
TCU announced internally in late May that the on-campus 1873 restaurant would be converted into a Chick-fil-A and open in the fall. A story followed in the school's newspaper, but students had already left for the summer and it appears that few people noticed. Now LGBT advocates are questioning why the university chose to allow a controversial anti-gay restaurant chain on campus.
Todd Camp, a Fort Worth LGBT activist and TCU alumnus, said he recently heard about the restaurant coming to campus from a friend and was surprised there hadn't been upset about it. He said the university knew the news would be controversial so it waited until after students were gone to avoid backlash.
"I find it disingenuous that they didn't now Chick-fil-A would be controversial," Camp said.
We've reached out to TCU Director of Communications Lisa Albert, who said she'd get back to us about why Chick-fil-A was chosen and the considerations that went into the decision. We'll update when we hear back. Based on the university's announcement on its website, the restaurant was requested by students. Students started a Facebook page, "Bring Chick-fil-A to TCU," in 2011 to help the cause and got 541 likes.
"The student body has been requesting a branded concept (namely Chick-fil-A) on campus for some time," TCU posted on its website in May. "The University has responded to the students' request by bringing Chick-fil-A to campus beginning Fall 2013."
LGBT students and alumni were upset last summer when TCU partnered with two nearby Chick-fil-A restaurants that offered free sandwiches to those who wore TCU gear in a promotion tied to the football team joining the Big 12 Conference.
Albert told Dallas Voice then that the partnership was among many that promoted the conference change and said TCU "does not support political or personal statements associated with any of our event hosts."
Camp recalled the controversy last year and said the decision to have a Chick-fil-A on campus shows how little the university stands behind equality, even though it added sexual orientation to its nondiscrimination policy a few years ago.
Camp said faculty members are upset about the decision, but he doesn't think the university is likely to change its mind. There's no word yet on any planned action by the campus Gay Straight Alliance.
Students at several North Texas universities tried to have Chick-fil-A restaurants removed last year after the chain's CEO Dan Cathy made anti-gay statements.
Camp said TCU had the choice to not allow the anti-gay chain to begin with and could have decided on a healthier option instead. He said the choice will hurt fundraising efforts from LGBT alumni and advocates who boycott the restaurant.
"If you choose to partner with a business, then you choose to partner with everything they've done in the past," he said.

The Thunder (3-5) won the opener 4-3 in eight innings, with Stieskal's squeeze bunt in the top of the eighth sending home the go-ahead run. Steiskal also rapped a two-run double.

Bloemfontein - The Democratic Alliance in the Free State on Monday expressed condolences to the family and friends of its slain Bohlokong, Bethlehem, branch chairman.
"It is with tremendous sadness that we learn of the death of one of our most dynamic DA activists," the party's Free State chairwoman Annelie Lotriet said.
Bohlokong branch chairman Thami Vumendlini was murdered when two people hijacked his car on Friday afternoon.
Free State police spokesman Constable Peter Kareli said two young men, aged 17 and 21, were arrested in Arlington.
Lotriet thanked the police for their rapid response.
"Vumendlini was a dedicated DA activist, tirelessly working in Bohlokong to advance the DA's goal of bringing about an open, opportunity society for all."
She said Vumendlini's death left a void, and a determination to work towards a crime-free society. - Sapa

Let us take a break from all the feelings I have been having (Oh, Gods, yes lets!!!) and look at this awesome thing my friend A taught me.
I have always loved lemonade. Like, real lemonade. First time I went to a friend's house and their mom tried to give me Country Time I reacted with (carefully concealed) shock. What was this horridly sweet and oddly coloured STUFF? I had one glass and then asked for water*.
So, when A asked if I wanted some lemonade, I was a wee bit sceptical. She was making it, so I snuck into the kitchen and proceeded to have my mind BLOWN. I then drank the lemonade quite happily (and with an additional 4th ingredient we both decided was quite fine towards the end of the night).
- Honey (local if possible)
- Lemon juice (actual lemons or I cheat and use bottled)
- Water
Pour around 12 ounces of honey into drink container (half a good sized container). Add enough hot water to container to make a thin honey/water solution. Add about 2 cups of lemon. Water to taste. Drink and get happy.
The honey supposedly will help with allergies if it is local, so bonus! I had honestly never thought to make lemonade with honey. It was white sugar or nothing. The semi floral taste the honey adds is totally awesome, even if the allergy thing is not true.
The optional and COMPLETELY BANANAS 4th ingredient is Cruzan Citrus Rum. There may have been giggly dancing towards the end of the night.
One warning, if you do cheat and use the bottle lemon like I do, it is a bit more acidic. I deal with it unless lemons are on special. I don't mind the work–I mind the price. 😉
*Okay, so there is a small story about me and water and why it was so weird for me to ask for any as a kid. I grew up in Germany for the earliest years of my life and we had all been warned A: don't drink the milk as Chernobyl just irradiated a shit-ton of cows and nothing was labeled as well as it is today and B: Don't drink the water because the pipes make it poison. We lived in this incredibly old apartment off base and a whole lot of it was pretty unsafe for a growing child. Due to the water/pipes issue, I grew up drinking a lot of drinks made from boiled water and soda. I still share my Mum's undying love for a good diet coke–warm. No ice, no fridge, no nothing! Just warm, sparkly, may give cancer to lab rats diet coke. It took me years AND an antidepressant that gave me dry mouth to get me to start drinking water. My skin got instantly more awesome.

Presbyterian Church criticises Order over 'jihad' comment
The Presbyterian Church has criticised as "unacceptable" an Orange Order statement in which one of its own ministers was quoted.
In April, the Parades Commission told Orangemen to play only Abide With Me while passing a nationalist area.
Ballymacarrett District Lodge, of which the Reverend Mervyn Gibson is chaplain, accused the commission of waging a "jihad" or holy war against them.
The church has now responded to criticism of those comments.
The lodge's statement at the time said the commission's ruling was "an action worthy of the Taliban religious police" and described the commission members as "Mullahs".
The words were not attributed to Mr Gibson but he was quoted as saying the commission was "fanning the flames of division".
In a highly unusual move the Parades Commission then wrote to the Presbyterian Church claiming the language used was "inappropriate" as well as "intemperate and inflammatory".
The BBC has learned that the church has now replied, saying references drawn from what they described as the "highly emotive vocabulary of Islamic fundamentalism" could really only be used "with the intention of causing offence."
The letter, which has been seen by the BBC, added: "It is therefore unhelpful and unacceptable. It may also give offence to our Islamic neighbours."
When contacted by the BBC, Mr Gibson said he was not "overly impressed" by the church response adding "they failed to discuss the matter with me when it was about me".
"However, I don't wish to make any further comment."
He also said he had submitted a Freedom of Information request in an attempt to obtain any correspondence or emails from the Parades Commission in which he was mentioned.

Rafael Natal: Student, Teacher, Fighter
The last time Rafael Natal put on gloves and fought in his native Brazil, he lost for the first time in his pro MMA career to Eduardo Telles in July of 2008. It may have been the best thing that ever happened to him.
Nearly five years later, the 30-year-old Natal returns to his home country not as a prospect with potential, but as a UFC fighter on the verge of entering the top ten at 185 pounds should he continue having the success that has led him to wins in three of his last four fights. But his main card bout against Joao Zeferino this Saturday in Jaragua do Sul may not be happening if not for his loss to Telles in Rio de Janeiro.
At the time, Natal was a black belt in jiu-jitsu under Vinicius Draculino Magalhaes (not to be confused with UFC light heavyweight Vinny Magalhaes) and an up and comer on the Brazilian fight scene who owned a 7-0 record and a 2006 TKO of future UFC fighter Danilo Villefort. But as he prepared for Telles, Draculino relocated to the United States, leaving Natal without his mentor for the fight, which he lost by second round knockout.
It was the beginning of my career in MMA, and my master, Vinicius Draculino, had lived with me in Brazil all through my life. And then he moved to Texas and I stayed in Brazil without him, said Natal. It was a good experience because when I lost this fight in 2008, I made the decision to move to America because Draculino wasnt there anymore with me. I needed to go there to Texas.
But when Natal called his teacher of his plans, Draculino who was just getting settled in Texas had a better idea for his student.
He advised me to train with Renzo (Gracie) in New York and then everything happened here, said Natal. Renzo opened all the doors for me, all the Gracie family gave me great support, and then I started to have a dream to fight in the UFC. I fought in small shows first and then I had the opportunity to fight in the UFC.
After a 5-1 stint in the States that included a first round knockout of former UFC contender Travis Lutter in May of 2010, Natal was brought into the Octagon, where he lost his debut via decision to Rich Attonito in September of that year. A draw with Jesse Bongfeldt in December still kept him winless, but beginning with his UFC 133 win over Paul Bradley, Natal has won three of four, with the only loss coming in a fight he was winning against Andrew Craig last July.
The secret to his recent success? A growing team that includes a fighter turned dentist who organizes his camps, Gracie, Draculino, renowned coaches Phil Nurse and Ricardo Almeida, and training partners like Frankie Edgar and several members of the Gracie family. It may seem like a cast of thousands, but for Natal, theyre all like family.
After we started to work together I had more success in UFC and my career.
And being so far from his home in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, Natal has embraced his new support system, which includes his girlfriend, his coaches, his teammates, and even the students he teaches at Gracies academies in New York City and Brooklyn.
I teach them, but I also learn a lot of things with them and thats why I like to teach, he said. After I started teaching jiu-jitsu in Brazil in 2005, my jiu-jitsu improved a lot, and the same thing has happened with MMA. After I started to teach MMA here, I can see the difference in my game. When students train, I can see whats wrong, whats right, what I can take for my game, and thats helped me a lot.
Yet despite his status as a bonafide New Yorker, that doesnt mean he isnt looking to supplement his usual three to four yearly trips to Brazil with another one this weekend.
This is going to be the first time I fight in the UFC in Brazil, my first time on the main card, and Im very excited about that, he said. I received a lot of email and messages from Brazil and they always support me so Im very excited to have this huge experience that the UFC gave me and to see whats going to happen.
Natal should be ready for anything, given that hes already jumped in on short notice to face Chris Camozzi on this card, only to see Camozzi moved to the co-main event slot against Jacare Souza when Costa Philippou got injured. Enter debuting jiu-jitsu ace Zeferino, but Natal wasnt flustered by the switch.
I know this always can happen. With me its the third time its happened, and we just have to change a little bit in the training for the fight. Camozzis mainly a standup guy and doesnt have jiu-jitsu like Zeferino so I just changed a little bit. I always train everything and I prepare for all the areas in the fight, so when they called me and let me know about the change, I studied Zeferino a little bit and focused a little bit more on my jiu-jitsu. I know he has good standup too and good wrestling, and I dont think the fights going to be jiu-jitsu against jiu-jitsu.
And if it does?
The fight starts on the feet, and I dont know if hes going to try and take me down, he said. For sure, if it goes to the ground were going to see which jiu-jitsus better, but a lot of other things can happen in the fight.
One of those things is that Rafael Natal wins his fourth fight in his last five and makes a statement to a national television audience that hes ready for more prime time outings. Sapo likes that option.
I hope I can not just win, but make a really good fight, and I want to keep fighting on the main card, he said. Thats important to me, and if I keep fighting on the main card, Im gonna fight the top ten in my weight, and little by little Ill reach my goal, which is the belt.

Arthritis and Rheumatism
Would arthritis of the hip cause a person to have a parkinson`s disease type shuffle? How do you or the doctors tell the difference?
Arthritis of the hip may cause a person to walk with a shuffling gait. An x-ray of the hip would provide the answer if there is significant degenerative arthritis.

Correct me if I'm wrong (as if) our friendly readers from Argentina, but Fatima Florez is something of s comic TV personality down Sudamericana way, a blonde Rich Little if you will, but with big ta-ta's, and famous now for her whiny impersonation of the female Argentinean President. After watching several tapes of Fatima Florez, I'm prepared to declare her personally the most annoying television personality since The Nanny. Which is why I guess I don't feel as bad as some about sharing the leaked bits of her sex tape that do not include male genitalia (which is rather copious).
I'm still not sure who is making their sex tapes on 2002 dated cell phone videos, but apparently Fatima Florez and her husband are two such retro-vid techs, who capture their fellatio and boot knocking in indiscreet detail on their super low res recording device. And, then, yeah, somebody leaked it to the public and now it's all over the Internet. And, so things go. And while we are bound by no-dick principles to not show you most of the footage, you can revel in a few of the topless screengrabs we, err, grabbed from the tape. Enjoy.

Clean smelling perfumeMy husband bought me this perfume a few years back. If my husband bought this perfume for me on his own that alone should tell you men love the smell.

Love Chanel fragrances!I received this as a gift and I'm in love!! I constantly get compliments when I wear this. It's soft, feminine, and classic! — 4 years, 4 months agoLilies516 | 9 reviews
Strong and sweet, but not overly soI have never been much of a perfume wearer, but I pride myself on smelling nice and when I find a perfume I like I wear it as often as I can. This scent starts strong, but settles well into your skin. It isn't overbearing, but the scent stays with you throughout the day. A lot of perfumes are too sickly sweet or floral for my taste (I especially can't stand roses in perfumes), but Chanel Chance is...read more floral without making you smell like a child. It is floral, but with deeper underlying scent tones that keep the perfume sensual and unexpected. Definitely one of my favorite perfumes. — 4 years, 6 months agobriannabea | 10 reviews

One of my favorite fragrancesI love this scent. It is stronger than most eau de toilette which is great, only one spritz on the wrist and I feel like I have enough fragrance for daytime. The scent is great, I am terrible at describing it but it is fresh and refreshing. This stuff is so great that I have had it literally stolen from me TWICE! once from the locker room and another time from my dorm. This is worth the money. — 5 years, 2 months agokimmi_o | 71 reviews
