"Whoever believes in reason has to be able to excuse it as a believer excuses his god. After all, because not everyone believes in reason."
Hans Blumenberg, Care Crosses The River
Is there such a thing as "anxiety?" Or do you transform an experience of your existence in a world, a life – neither entirely your own – into something to be possessed (by), grasped (by) – that you can at least perceive and know as an object. It is by turns a burden, an affliction, an essential part of your self, and finally, a threat: anxiety, does it not sometimes appear as a menacing, overwhelming force, from which there is no escape, that threatens the integrity of the "I" and the self you know?
After fifteen centuries had passed since Augustine's death, in Being and Time (1928) Martin Heidegger would at last develop this analogy. Anxiety, for Heidegger, is – like time and being – no entity [Seiende], but rather a "fundamental mode of being in the world." Stopping us in our tracks, the experience (mood, he calls it) of anxiety is one of the ways in which we find ourselves in-the-world: in the grips of an anxiety attack the world is unreal, the world reveals itself as nothing. Does not anxiety give a sense of the uncanny(-ness of the world)? We read the following in What is Metaphysics? (1929): "All things and we ourselves sink into indifference. This, however, not in the sense of mere disappearance. Rather, in their very receding, things turn toward us. The receding of beings as a whole, closing in on us in anxiety, oppresses us. We can get no hold on things... Only this 'no hold on things' comes over us and remains. Anxiety makes manifest the nothing." [2]
I could ask "what makes you anxious," which you yourself have done, but to answer the question would be to reduce anxiety to mere fear. Rather, anxiety is anxious about nothing. Not the existential dread (in both German and French, the words for anxiety and dread are one and the same) that recently overwhelmed me, for that touched upon a certainty, a paradoxical something, the truly in common of all humanity, all life. No. Anxiety reveals to us that our world, our reality, is without reason, founded solely upon chance, and the manifest nothing the "unknown, painted in the image of a sun" [3]: the uncertainty of all that is now and all that is still to come.
Anxiety gives way to a metaphysical vertigo: it is not nothing, it is the uncertain and unknowable nature of all that will henceforth come to be. We can as little grasp our futures as can we chart our lives' course firmly in advance: none of us knows from whence we came and toward what we go. Should one listen quietly enough and carefully enough in the night of anxiety, a barely audible voice can be heard whispering these words of wisdom: one must above all learn to let go...
Anathema - The Untouchable, Part 1 (from Weather Systems, out this month).
First Epilogue
Time, flowing forth along the Copernican courseRuns detoured from its absent centerLed astray no longer into dead-endWrong-Way StreetsSubverted by its privilege of nowhereNow, now and necessarily again,The eccentricity of time forever de-centeredArrives, enters, in moments coursing with time.
Second Epilogue
That singularity that is the irreducible core of consciousness that subtends the self we know, it is at once parti(cular) and wave(-like undulation traced by our peregrinations). The ensemble of the existent and what is to be (virtually): absolute immanence can only be de-composed into the still coherent entangled multiplicity that it is, that we are and in which we are one - one entangled system of awareness. Separated and confined by the macroscopy of bodies having extension, we are permitted this hope: that in the uncertain beyond, in the paradoxical time following the collapse - kairos or bardo - hope for the freedom to become an other, any other, to begin anew as an other self - ignorant of our past and of our origin, as are we all, even in this very moment, now.

In April 1982, a golfer at the City Park West Municipal Golf Course in New Orleans was killed after he threw his golf club against a golf cart in frustration. The club snapped and the bottom half rebounded and stabbed him in the throat. This wasn't the thing that killed the golfer, however. He was killed when he pulled the club head from his neck, thereby increasing the blood flow and loss from his jugular vein. This, and many more golfing tales, from unemployed after-dinner speaker and part-time pastry chef (M, 58)

In an effort to keep up with the middleweight Joneses or maybe stay a step ahead, Triumph has completely overhauled its Daytona 675 and 675R, with an all-new higher-revving engine in a new frame, and a raft of improvements.
This new bike will send the already scared Japanese bikes like the Yamaha R6, the Suzuki GSXR600, new Kawasaki ZX-6R, CBR600RR, etc. looking for cover. This new supersport promises to take forward the legend of the original Daytona 675. It will also compete with the new Ducati 848 replacement, which, if its anything like its bigger brother the 1199 Panigale, promises to be a stunner.
Air now flows straight through the headstock and past two fuel injectors for each cylinder. Titanium valves (a first for Triumph) shaped for optimum flow but in the same sizes as before aid fueling accuracy and efficiency, and provide the new horsepower and torque. The most obvious change, obviously, is the new exhaust. As with the new Street Triple, a low-mount system replaces the old undertail cans, centralizing mass and helping the new frame shift weight more forward onto the front tire for sportier handling. Triumph claims a weight reduction of three pounds.
The six-speed transmission gains a slipper clutch, as well as new EFI programming that props the butterflies open a tad to prevent rear-wheel hop under heavy braking.
The latest in fixed-cartridge forks from KYB and a new rear shock, new lightweight wheels and Pirelli Supercorsa tires are all standard. Switchable ABS includes a track setting.
Just as the new Street Triple bumped up a notch in terms of overall fit and quality, the new Daytona gets a tricky new ventilated upper triple clamp, machined engine mounting bolts, and instrumentation—and an overall cohesiveness that's a step up from the previous bike. Yours for $11,599.
But why stop there? For a mere $1900 more—$13,499—you could be riding atop an Öhlins TTX rear shock and NIX30 inverted fork. The R also gets the latest in Brembo Monobloc brake calipers, and that new lightweight switchable ABS is also included in the package. Also the improved-for-'13 quickshifter, carbon-fiber cockpit panels, carbon-fiber rear hugger, red subframe, red wheel pinstripes, etc.
Both bikes (like all Triumphs) get an unlimited mileage, two-year factory warranty, and should be in dealers by February.

Welcome to our NEW Monthly Feature: ATMOSPHERE ASKS. Every month we'll be asking tough (and not so tough) questions covering all manner of exciting topics such as design, travel, lifestyle and food. And every month we'll invite an exciting new guest to give us their take on the topic. It isn't hard hitting journalism, it's just our nosey new way of getting to know the people who inspire us a little bit better. Enjoy!
This month we caught up with Margot Austin, Senior Editor at STYLE AT HOME for 8 years (left in early October), and we asked: What is the one thing in your home that makes you happiest?
Hi Curtis and Trevor,
Thanks for including me in your blog. I'm going to choose items on my mantel as things that make me happy. A mantel is always a focal point, so I believe in styling it with very meaningful items that act like a capsule of your life and style. Here's the story of mine:
my mantel today (my own photo)
The oil portrait painting. This is a truly fine piece. It's early 19th Century and I find it beautiful in so many ways. I love portrait art for the window it gives us to societies past - in particular the fashion. The lady's dress in this portrait recalls my own wedding dress. I am mad for tartan and have a touch of Scot in my heritage, so I love the plaid shawl, too. The subject has one of those half Mona Lisa smiles that is very pleasing. I also love the piece because it was a surprise gift from my husband marking no special occasion. Kevin is an extraordinary gift giver. He did a story for the magazine with tips on how to get great stuff at an auction. As part of the story he bid on this an brought it home for me. I LOVE it.
The painting hanging on the wall at the auction house (Edward Pond - Photographer)
Kevin with his bidding paddle at the auction (Edward Pond - Photographer)
The portrait in it's first home, with stack of books, - our previous apartment. (my own photo)
A bit about a couple of the other items on the mantel:
1. A pair of cloisonne vases: we found these for $24 at the Brimfield Antiques Show. What a steal. They look magnificent with cherry or crab apple blossoms in them.
2. French bulldog artwork: this was a gift from a great interior designer I worked with. She knew I had a Frenchie and I mentioned how I loved the work of Hugo Guinness. The next thing I knew, she gave me this. Again, a gift given with no fanfare of occasion but with deep personal resonance. Later, by chance, I happened to meet the man who actually owns the dog depicted in the artwork - a crazy coincidence. Here's a link to my blog post about it: CLICK HERE.
3. Two French bulldog figurines: one is porcelain, one bronze. Yes, I am a crazy dog lady. I own figurines...but no tote bags or T-shirts with Frenchies...yet. ;-)
4. Polaroid photo: I love the incongruity of this. It's a shot of my husband as a skinny little pre-teen going for a ride on a mini-bike. His parents brought it when they last visited. Adorable.
5. Tiny bubble clock: a gift from a colleague of my husband's who is also an atique dealer. Every mantel needs a clock.
6. Oak leaf and acorn gilt wreath: This is a wonderful decorative flourish from who knows where. I adore acorns as a decorative motif. This makes a great Christmas tree topper. I like the originality of using something unexpected like this.
Cheers, Margot

Former Colorado Governor to Deliver Keynote
The Director of the Center for the New Energy Economy (CNEE) at Colorado State, Bill Ritter, was elected as Colorado's 41st governor in 2006 - the first Colorado-born governor in more than 35 years. He quickly established Colorado as a national and international leader in clean energy by creating a New Energy Economy and tripling the state's renewable energy portfolio. In a state with substantial fossil energy as well as renewable energy resources, Gov. Ritter created policies that balanced energy production with protection of land, water, wildlife and communities. Governor Ritter also worked on creating a 21st century transportation system in Colorado.
In Gov. Ritter's four years as governor, he built the New Energy Economy that created thousands of new jobs and established hundreds of new companies; enacted an aggressive business-development and job-creation agenda that was focused on knowledge-based industries of the future, such as energy, aerospace, biosciences, information technology and tourism; initiated sweeping K-12 education reforms to give Colorado children the skills and knowledge they need to compete and succeed in a 21st century global economy; and, improved access to quality and affordable health care for many of the 800,000 Coloradans who lack health coverage.

sleek swimmers & crazy runners
|Time (mins)
|Distance (km)
|Pace (km/h)
|Monday, May 16, 2005
By the end of the run, I look like a xiao zha boh (mad woman). Half of my hair is already out of the red rubber band, flapping against my face as I run. I absent-mindedly hook the hair back behind my ear, only to have it fall over my face 30 seconds later. In fact, I don't notice it when it flaps against my face -- I am in that much pain -- it is only later in the lift, when I catch a glimpse of myself in the reflective doors that I realise what I must have been doing -- hooking and rehooking my crazy flapping hair.
Of course when I finish my run I feel so victorious I think I am the sleekest and best body around. I go and do my push-ups and what-nots by the benches overlooking the pool. It is only when the young men and woman emerge from their effortless butterfly strokes, reflecting the evening sun on their tanned and toned bodies, that I realise my victory is purely internal. Too bad I don't like swimming, otherwise I can emerge with a wet and powerful body like them, and not like the dripping smelly xiao zha boh that I look.

Massadio Haidara's set to finally make his comeback at Newcastle United.
The luckless defender hasn't played a first-team game since last October.
Haidara went on to have knee surgery and broke down in the latter part of the season.
The 23-year-old, however, is back in training, and he is pencilled in to play in Monday night's Under-23 game against Stoke City at Whitley Park.
"He's training," said United manager Rafa Benitez.
"He's getting closer, and normally he will play on Monday for the Under-23s.
"But in terms of training sessions, he is fine and he is training every day."
Haidara has made 49 appearances for Newcastle since joining from French club Nancy in January 2013.

We received this letter from a reader yesterday:
I came across your website, and am hoping you can help me out. I am trying to discover the location in the attached photo? It is not the best quality photo, but there is definitely a castle/tower in the background with this rather unusual garden. I think it is somewhere in the UK, but I just cannot seem to find it. Any information would be gratefully received.
We can't identify this castle…but we're hoping one of our readers can! If you have an idea of where this castle might be or, even better, if you know the name, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com . Thanks!

Nothing like a little vacation for an excuse to have the lovely Kathyrene from TheFabZilla over on BeautyTidbits! This Hawaiian girl is a beauty & lifestyle blogger with a never-ending obsession for lipsticks! So what better than a little tutorial on how to rock bright orange lips for spring. Take it away, Kath!
From catwalk to Hollywood, bright orange lips is Spring's hottest makeup trend.Pucker up! Here are three easy steps to rock it:
1. Exfoliate and moisturize. Bright lippies tend to accentuate lines and dryness so make sure that your lips are soft and hydrated. Apply your favorite lip balm and let it sink in for few minutes.
2. Line and fill your lips with orange lip liner. This will serve as a base for your lipstick; it will also prolong its wear time.
3. Apply bright orange lipstick either straight from the tube or with a lip brush. Some of my favorite bright orange lipsticks are MAC So Chaud (as shown in the photo), NARS Satin Lip Pencil Timanfaya and Marvelous Moxie Light It Up.
Lastly, let your lips be the focus so keep your eye makeup understated.

dotSCOT has only one application
The full list of submissions for new internet address endings has been published by the global organisation co-ordinating the expansion.

While some names have had several applicants, there was only one application for dotSCOT. This simplifies the application process for dotSCOT, which in turn should speed up the process to get the namein use for Scots worldwide.

Jake Lee's question made San Fran Nan into a bigger babbling fool than normal.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has been on the front lines of the Democrat party's war against President Donald Trump since his inauguration, except her outrageous statements have only hurt her more than the president.
During a CNN town hall on Monday night, Pelosi once again showed how completely clueless she is after she was asked by an audience member about the hypocrisy Democrats are showing over the firing of former FBI Director James Comey, The Daily Wire reported.
"Good evening, Madam Leader. Before the election on Nov. 8, your side of the aisle were asking for the former head of the FBI to resign," said an audience member identified as small business owner Jake Lee. "Now that he has been let go, why the sudden and selective outrage from your side of the aisle?"
The question really threw Pelosi off guard. After initially denying that she ever wanted Comey fired, and stating that "Some people were asking to be let go," (which we're assuming was meant to state that some people wanted Comey let go) she started complaining about why Trump fired him,
"For the president of the United States to fire with his own self-admission that he didn't like — he was tired of the Russia-Trump probe," she said, before stumbling over her own words.
After spending a good five seconds looking around for the right word and stammering out "uh," Pelosi finally decided upon "distressing."
"It's distressing. We believe in the FBI as being an independent law enforcement agency, to be respected, and not to be fired by president because he's tired of an investigation they're doing," she stated.
Throughout the entire thing Pelosi was flailing her arms about, looking like some sort of bird that didn't quite know how to fly.
Of course throughout her answer, Pelosi never actually answered the question. That's because the Democrats have displayed their hypocrisy for the world to see, and they are counting on the liberal media to protect them from Americans demanding answers.
You can watch the moment here:
Right now, Democrats are too busy screaming about impeachment and demanding a special prosecutor to articulate why exactly they are upset about Comey being fired.
Maybe in a few weeks they will calm down and be able to form coherent sentences. I mean, as much as they were ever able to.

New project!
I also picked up some Cascade Quatro (raspberry and pink) and Ironstone Hot Stuff to make little felted purses for my grandgirlies. Okay, no, I haven't done the Kureyon purse for myself yet and no, I'm not finished with the cross-stitch calendar (but I worked on it a lot this weekend, if that counts), but it is just so dang much fun to buy yarn and plan projects, isn't it?
The Bluebonnet folks always have people sitting around knitting and chatting, and on Wednesday nights, they stay open late for people to gather and knit. It's my dream to get to be one of them, one fine day. In the meantime, I'll keep dropping by and salivating over the beautiful yarns and cool sample projects scattered all over the store.
Oh--and Terey, was it you oohing over the lighted needles? I saw some in the flesh! How fun!

The appearance of the facility plays a large role in the success of the business, whether it is a supermarket, retail store or even a hospital.For Your Protection before you hire the Professional Cleaning Service Provider go through the facility to find out what they plan to use on the various surfaces.

Last week, I testified on behalf on House Bill 910, An Act to provide coverage for hearing aids for children, which I filed at the beginning of the session along with 22 or my colleagues. Since the hearing we have received dozens of emails from supporters of the bill. I would also like to thank Lisa Adams and everyone with the Massachusetts Hearing Aids for Children coalition for all their great work in supporting this bill and coming to the hearing.
Below is an excerpt from my testimony at Wednesday's hearing.
"Chairman Buoniconti, Chairman Koutoujian, and Members of the Joint Committee on Financial Services, I want to thank you all for the opportunity to testify in strong support of House Bill 910, An Act to provide coverage for hearing aids for children. Hearing loss is the most common birth defect in the U.S., affecting three in every 1,000 newborns annually. Experts agree that hearing is critical for speech development, cognitive development, social and emotional well-being and academic achievement. According to records kept by the Department of Public Health, approximately 200 out of 80,000 babies are born with a hearing loss in the Commonwealth each year and approximately 150 of those children require hearing aids.
For most of the children impacted by hearing loss, the use of quality aids can significantly improve the ability to hear. Access to hearing aids is the critical component to this equation. We know hundreds of children in the Commonwealth are born with hearing loss each year and that we have the technology to give these children a better life; insurance companies are denying this coverage to Massachusetts families who are forced to pay $2,000 out of pocket if they want their child to develop at the same level as their hearing peers. At least fifteen other states in the U.S. require insurers to cover at least some of the costs associated with hearing aids for children. I feel it is essential we do the same.
Chapter 111, Section 67F of the Massachusetts General Laws requires newborns to have a hearing screening administered before leaving the hospital. A goal of these newborn hearing screenings is long-term cost savings because early identification results in improved language abilities, lower educational and vocational costs, and increased lifetime productivity. These screenings provide families with invaluable information about the health of the child but once hearing loss is detected there is no support for paying the costs of hearing aids. This bill would change that.
I am urging the chairs and members of the committee to give House Bill 910 a thorough evaluation and release a bill that serves the best interests of families in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Mandating coverage of these hearing aids will lift a financial burden to hundreds of Massachusetts families and give their children unlimited opportunities."

Amy, the documentary about singer Amy Winehouse, who died suddenly in 2011 at the age of 27, comes out in theaters this Friday. Filmmaker Asif Kapadia released this stunning clip, which makes available for the first time footage of Winehouse first recording "Back to Black," one of her best-loved singles. Winehouse, with producer Mark Ronson, wrote the song about her relationship with her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Blake Civil-Fielder. The singer was just 24 years old when she recorded "Back to Black," but it's already abundantly clear in the video how talented and original she was. The clip starts out a cappella, allowing us to hear Winehouse's unique tone, before laying the backing track on top. The process illustrates to those watching how Ronson actually put the song together.
Looking back on this video now, and knowing that Winehouse would pass away just four years later, makes the song all the more chilling. After she finishes the take, Winehouse remarks, "Oh, it's a bit upsetting at the end, isn't it?" She could have been speaking about her life and career as a whole.
"Back to Black" was one of Winehouse's final singles. She released two more after: "Tears Dry on Their Own" and "Love is a Losing Game," all of which were on her second and final album, also titled Back to Black.
Watch the video of Winehouse and Ronson recording "Back to Black" here:
Though Amy has been much anticipated by Winehouse's fans, her father, Mitch Winehouse, disputes the picture Kapadia paints both of his daughter and his family. He appeared on the British talkshow Loose Women to announce he will be creating his own, rival film about Amy. "Anybody who was involved with Amy in the last three years of her life are not in the film," he said. "This nonsense about Amy being left alone for the last three years of her life is incredibly insulting. She had a lovely boyfriend, she had wonderful friends — they're not in the film." He also said that, though he and Amy's boyfriend at the time of her death, Reg Traviss, both did many interviews with Kapadia, nearly all of them were left out of the final cut.
Amy opens in theaters on July 10.

Synthetic cannabis first appeared about 8 years ago in Europe. It goes by the names Spice and K2. It is a designer drug, which means the basic marijuana molecule was altered to change its behavior. Often the goal is to increase the strength of a drug as in Ecstasy – made on the amphetamine blueprint. In the case of marijuana, the characteristic altered was the recognition that it was marijuana. A minor structural change can make a molecule unrecognizable. This was a marijuana that can't be tested for.
It is not so much surprising that an enquiring mind could come up with a variation on the basic THC molecule, but that it was considered worth doing. Marijuana has not become an endangered species in recent years with various medical marijuana laws in 14 States.
While pot "scientists" were busy creating in their labs, the pharmaceutical laboratories were working on spoiling their plans. Tests specifically designed to recognize the synthetic marijuana molecule were developed. That isn't too arduous a process as the initial screening test is an antibody test. An antibody to identify the new synthetic marijuana molecule is easily made. The confirming test, GCMS, only needs some synthetic marijuana to analyze, and it can happily identify synthetic marijuana down to the nanogram amount.
Of course getting around pesky government laws was the goal of this designer drug. The government simply wrote new laws outlawing this drug.
If you are concerned about the use of K2 or Spice, these can be included in your drug testing panel. Call your U.S. HealthWorks representative to enquire.
Take care.

J. Brian has spent 30 years of his life in and out of almost all aspects of entertainment. From standup comedy, acting, modeling and makeup design to writing, directing and producing, he has managed to learn as much as he can in the field of entertainment to become a very versatile one-man production team. He also writes horror and pulp-style adventure fiction as well as designs card and board games, with his first card game making its mass market debut in 2013.
His first film effort, a 26 minute, $200 ghost story called "The Shed", went on to win Best Horror Short at the 2004 New York International Independent Film and Video Festival and he has racked up several awards since then. He has worked on television programs for live broadcast and networks such as VH1 and FOX, produced numerous promotional and music videos for entertainers and rap artists, and has written, directed and/or produced many short and feature length movies.
Regarding his movies, he has worked as writer, casting director, location scout and manager, makeup designer and artist, scene and lighting designer, stunt and fight choreographer, director of photography, visual effects artist, editor, camera operator, director, producer and executive producer.
Mettle of Honor synopsis:
When a gang of kidnappers takes their young hostage to an abandoned building to await a $100 million ransom, a homeless Vietnam vet who lives in the building becomes her only hope for salvation.
Led by Nick, a recently paroled bank robber, a gang of 14 ruthless killers kidnaps Molly, the 16 year old daughter of a bank president and gives him 24 hours to rob his own bank for the $100 million ransom... or she dies.
Taking her to an abandoned 6-story building in an isolated and derelict area of the city, Nick orders his men to kill the homeless squatters who inhabit the old building to eliminate any witnesses.
Nick's plan soon hits a snag, however, when Gunny, a homeless Vietnam vet who lives in the building, starts fighting back.
As darkness falls, the 63 year old Marine calls upon combat and survival skills he hasn't used in 40 years as he wages a one-man war on a new, and much younger, enemy to protect the frightened young hostage.
Outnumbered, outgunned and definitely "out-youthed", Gunny proves he still has the mettle worthy of a hero.
Jim (TJ Woodbury) takes a temporary job as a security guard for a large hotel when the last guard was "let go" for having too many bad habits. After chatting with the night desk clerk, Chris (John Santi), he learns that there is more to the sudden dismissal of the last guard than the hotel manager (Bobbi Lane) tells him which involved the accidental drowning of a young boy in the hotel's swimming pool and the guard's heartless attempt to cover it up. But when he takes a quick blow to the head by a hotel guest opening a door, Jim believes he's beginning to see things... like a dead boy floating in the pool. Soon, while making his late night rounds, Jim comes face to face with the angry ghost of the boy.
Brian's websites:
THE SHED is a 26 minute, black and white ghost story about a young couple who buy a house but is unaware that the shed in the backyard was the scene of a brutal murder a decade before and, as a result, is haunted. The husband, David ( Daniel Sappington) begins to hear a child crying in the backyard late at night but his wife, Amy (Liarra Michelle), is convinced that he's under a lot of stress over work and buying the house and is just hearing a neighborhood cat. Things come to a head when David ventures outside late one night after hearing the crying and comes face to face with the ghost of a little boy (Dylan Ochoa). After visit from the police (Jason Smith) and a mysterious old lady (Michal Faith McCune) who lives across the street, that night David learns the sad, yet gruesome, secret that the shed has been hiding for over 10 years..
The interview will be available after the show in the archives at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/theresachaze/2015/02/05/until-you-walk-the-path-you-wont-know-where-it-goes
Have you ever met someone and suddenly felt love or hate? Did you wonder why? What if you had forgotten the reason? Would you want to remember if it could save you life?
Never Can Say Good-bye is a paranormal thriller-horror that combines a traditional ghost story with unique twists.

Winter everyone seems to be talking about it. Love it or hate it happens. Personally I love winter BUT I do hate being cold. Therefore I'm a serial 'layer-er' – tights under jeans – a singlet, t-shirt, jumper, then a jacket and of course a beanie. Today i re-discovered the pleasure and warmth of snow socks – they're just 'cushion-ee' and they fit your feet so nicely!
All the headlines in the magazines seem to be on the winter bandwagon also; 'You're all round winter guide' or 'How to prevent getting sick this season'. They tell us to move more, eat more veggies, reduce your intake of sugar and dairy (because it's forms mucus) although research by the University of California at Davis, US, shows eating yoghurt triggers your body to produce up to four times as much of a key immune receptor. "Yoghurt with live cultures improves the health of your digestive tract, making your immune system more effective" researchers stated.
Basically winter I don't do anything extreme to prevent myself from getting sick – no flu injections or anything. I eat clean most of the time so in winter I tend to rug up, eat lots of vegetables, drink 'real' hot chocolate and if i feel a sore throat coming along I drink copious amounts of hot water, ginger, lemon and manuka honey. So soothing!
What are your tips to prevent getting sick in winter or some home made remedies??
Here are my eats from today. Enjoy and I hope all is well.
Eat well & be well.

Travel Tips for a "Less-Stress" Holiday
Holiday travel can be very tricky! I travel A LOT and have become an expert on the entire process; from booking a flight, what to pack, and how best to navigate the long security lines. Here are some tips on how to avoid those dreaded flight delays.
You may not know that the TSA (federal airport security) recently modified their rules. Here are few things that changed:
- Wrapped Gifts: Allowed but not advised. Agents may need to check by unwrapping your hard work. Small snow globes are now allowed in carry on luggage only; they weren't before.
- Gel shoe inserts are now permitted.
- Dry Ice for transporting foods IS now allowed!
- Children 12 and under can now keep their shoes on through security checkpoints.
Some other advice and points of interest about holiday travel
- Always check other airport options near by. You can save money or find a better flight by travelling from another nearby airport.
- Save hundreds by flying on the actual holiday.
- The airline's website might very well have lower fares than the so-called discount site.
- The least expensive day to fly is Tuesday and Sunday is the most expensive.
- Last year, Florida was the favorite destination for holiday travelers. This year, research shows that it's Washington DC, St Thomas US VI, West Palm Beach, Costa Rica and Mexico.

To our most precious supporters and friends of the Ministry, God is good… so Good. This past month has been extraordinarily busy with several Families, entire Families that are leaving Mormonism and doing so with self-reliance and a new knowledge and relationship of the Biblical Jesus Christ. As we report some critical details of our current Legal Issues, we first wanted to report to you that our core Mission to the Mormon People has actually increased during this time of legal drama and financial insecurity. Praise God for His perfect will and His unshakable ability to re-purpose the wicked intentions of men into a Glorious Blessing and a Testimony of His Sovereignty.
As an update concerning our current legal issues, first some background. In September of last year, I was arrested for Contempt of Court. I spent 6 days in one of the worst County Jails in the United States for my continued preaching and exposure of the documented corruption and deceit of the Mormon Church. We Love the Mormon People, but we have hit a tender nerve in the State of Indiana with our identification of some very unethical practices between the Mormon Deputy Chief of Police in Indianapolis and a well-respected Mormon Attorney who has been elevated to the Mormon Leadership position of a General Authority.
At the center of this legal battle is the fact that this Mormon Attorney has used the State Superior Court as his personal tool of revenge. Six months ago I was charged with three Felonies for Intimidation and Harassment. These false charges were accepted by the State without investigation or examination, exclusively on the reputation of this Mormon Attorney. Just last week two of these fabricated charges were totally dismissed. As the Court is coming to realize that they have been professionally abused and wrongly engaged as a personal weapon, they are working to find a discreet resolution to minimize the embarrassment.
Regardless of the outcome, we have completed the manuscript of a short book detailing every aspect of this legal travesty, which will be made available as a free download very soon. The book: In The Company of Saints and Demons – Jailed for Teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ, includes a day-by-day account of abuse behind bars for the Lord and the amazing opportunity I was given to Preach the Gospel to several men who came to Christ for the first time. The organized and systematic repression of my Freedom of Speech and the total misuse and manipulation of the legal system to suppress an honest and fair comparison between Christianity and Mormonism will shock you.
Within this story you will be transported behind the bars of the "Gladiator Pit", where I was shoved to the floor by convicted murderers and thieves in an attempt to coerce and intimidate. Even within the blood and urine stained cells, God is good. For several days I organized a Bible study that centered on two primary subjects: Why we can trust the Bible and Who is Jesus Christ to You.
As the legal strategies are completed and secret deals are made, know that the Word of God has been presented to both the prisoners and the politicians of Indiana. Many of the City, State and County employees who may have never otherwise have known of the deception of Mormonism, have come to a new understanding of this false religion through this well-documented story of corruption and deceit.

Hello there chaps!
I am a Zimbabwean living in England involved with Mitcham Cricket Club in South West London. We are a friendly team, holding the distinction of being the oldest continually played on Cricket Green in the world, and were formed in the year 1685.
We field 3 Saturday XIs as follows:
Our 1st XI - in the Fullers Surrey County League 1st XI Division 1
Our 2nd XI - in the Fullers Surrey County 2nd XI Premier League
Our 3rd XI - in the Surrey Championship East Division - 3rd XI
We also play some mid-week 20/20 games and the occasional friendly and Sunday game.
We also have over 60 colts from Under 10 level up to Under 16s - so if you have children who would like to play there is plenty of opportunity! We have a number of ECB qualified coaches who coach our youngsters.
Our season starts in the 1st week of May 2017 and each of the senior sides had 18 scheduled matches - 9 home and 9 away. Each team will play 9 timed games of 95 overs in total; and 9 limited overs games of 45 overs each way - provided the weather holds!
There are fees involved which cover the cost of teas, new cricket balls, equipment and rental of the grounds and club house:
Annual Membership costs are as follows:
Adults: GBP£135 p.a. (GBP£100 if paid before 30.04.17)
Students/Unemployed: GBP£80 p.a
Colts: GBP£40 p.a.
Match Fees per game are:
Adults: £10
Students/Unemployed: £5
Colts: £5
If you are living nearby and would like to play, please PM me - you will be more than welcome! Do not worry too much about equipment as we have plenty available - spikes (if worn) and cricket whites are all you would need. We normally have a few beers after the game in our club house - as you can imagine - and it is a fun environment
Our Website:
It would be nice to see some fellow Zimbos!
Best Wishes to all
Cricket in South West London, England
For discussion of any non-Zimbabwean cricket.
