My 22 year old treadmill died this week.
The dreadmill, the device of torture, the hamster wheel, the necessary evil for a runner living in the midwest--whatever you like to call it-- finally called it quits. On a recent icy day when conditions were too hazardous to run outdoors, I took to my old, reliable treadmill to complete my run. I couldn't get it to start, so I tripped the circuit breaker. The power came on and I started to run. After only a couple of minutes, the treadmill came to an abrupt stop. I again tripped the circuit breaker and resumed running, but again, the power went out. I could not get it to start again.
Our relationship was complicated. I hated the treadmill, but I needed it. My treadmill was always there for me. Until this one last time.
This death was a long time coming. For the past couple of years, my treadmill was increasingly unreliable. Most of the time, my runs went smoothly, but other times, the treadmill would speed up and slow down at will. I couldn't rely on the calibration for my miles, so instead, I ran by time. Thankfully, I didn't need to use the treadmill often, opting to run outside as often as I could, and that probably prolonged its life.
My treadmill sits in front of a window in the ground level of our house, in a room that's kind of a junk room. Shoes and coats collect on top of the dog crate and an old chair that my husband refuses to discard. I've tried to make this room my workout room and my race medals adorn the wall next to the treadmill. There are also some running photos from memorable races, which are preferable to the view of my neighbors' brick wall.
I received my treadmill as a gift from my mother-in-law, who was not a runner, after my oldest son was born. My post-partum anxiety was off the charts and running was the drug I needed to keep me calm. When I couldn't run outside, which was pretty often in those days, I'd put my infant son in his car carrier and set him next to me while I ran. Sometimes he'd cry and I'd cry too, begging him to let me finish the mile I was in. When he was older, he'd play next to me while he entertained his baby brother who was in the infant seat. I eventually had to put a gate around the treadmill when I ran so they wouldn't try to climb on with me!
These little monkeys made indoor running a challenge!
I didn't run long or far in those days--but the sweating and pounding on the belt was enough to keep me happy. "Ain't nobody happy if mama ain't happy..."
When the boys were in grade school, we had a hamster, Stuart Little. He was a smelly little white rodent that we should have named Houdini. During those years, I was working second shift. When I would get home at midnight, Stuart Little was rarely in his cage. Most of the time I'd find him sitting in the family room, eating crumbs. We'd stare each other down. I'd shudder, knowing I had to pick him up. He'd look at me mockingly as if he knew I didn't want to touch him. Back into the cage he'd go, with another layer of duct tape wrapped tightly around the lid to try and contain him. How he got out, I'll never know. But he always did. After one such escape, he was missing for about a week. We figured he was a goner but kept the cage out in case he reappeared.
A few days after his disappearance I got on my treadmill to run. I inserted the key and slid the dial up to the speed I wanted. As the belt started to move, I heard a scratching noise inside the motor. I stopped the belt and the scratching continued. My husband took the cover off the motor, and there was Stuart Little, covered with black grease. Next to him was a pile of dog food. He must have made trips back and forth to the dog's bowl to amass his stash. Back to the cage he went, sealed back in with more duct tape.
My dogs were never fans of the treadmill. I don't know if it was the noise of my feet on the belt or the fact that they were baffled by me running and not going anywhere. I've had 3 cocker spaniels in the time frame that I had this machine. Most of the time, the dogs came in the room while I was on the treadmill to see what I was doing and then left. Cocoa, my current cocker and probably the smartest one of the bunch, spends her time trying to figure out the treadmill. She stares at the belt while I run, sometimes dropping a ball on it and watching it shoot off the back. Cocoa loves to play fetch but hasn't quite figured out that she could be dropping balls on the treadmill and chasing them while I'm running.
As I start shopping for my treadmill's replacement, I'm amazed at the features available on the new machines. My treadmill was an old ProForm with no bells and no whistles. I turned it on and I ran. I've always listened to music when I run on the treadmill to help with the monotony. Before the era of the iPod, I had a boombox that blared music at me from cassette tapes and then eventually CDs. With the advent of the iPod, treadmill running became much more tolerable as I could vary the music on my playlists and fast forward over songs that weren't doing it for me. I was never a treadmill TV watcher--I read once somewhere that a runner would get better results if they were focused on the run instead of the screen. I don't know if that's true, but it's stuck with me.
Friend or foe, my old treadmill made life as a runner much easier. Having a treadmill was a luxury that allowed me to run when I couldn't get outside. Even though I have a lot of memories and many miles associated with the old treadmill, I'm not sad that it's time for a replacement. I'll probably stick to a basic machine, one that gets the job done. I'd love a fancy treadmill, a Peloton or a Woodway but as a runner who loves to run outdoors, I can't justify the expense. I'm pretty sure I'll love and hate the new machine as much as the old one. It will be there when I need it. After all, it is a treadmill.
How old is your treadmill? Do you use it often? Love it or hate it? Fancy or basic? Any recommendations?
I'm linking up with Fridays with Fairytales and Fitness.
I think mine is about 18 years. We actually got it when I lived in TX, before I ran — so I could walk when it was ungodly hot out. It was kind of fancy for its time but now would be basic. I have a story about critters & the treadmill in yesterday's post.
The Boys were actually fascinating with it & would jump on it while I was running. Both Chester & bandit would curl up on the chaise next to me while I'm running; Lola does it more often these days but she's not super fond of the noise. My boy dogs both had overpowering needs to be with me.
I'm heading over to your blog to read your post!
My treadmill is 12 years old it was a Christmas present from my dad I asked for it after I got hurt running outside.I love that I can work out in the comfort and safety of my home. My treadmill is a Proform too it has programs but I just adjust it manually and it works just fine. We service it ourselves and so far so good. I see people giving away treadmills for free on Craigslist or nextdoor.com all the time but I don't know that I would want a used one. Good luck in your search.
I found a brand new ProForm that was rated a best buy by all kinds of sources. I ordered it from Amazon. Paid the same as I did for my 22 year old treadmill! I hope it lasts just as long.
Aw, your treadmill served you well. OMG on that hamster - the stash of dog food!!! I got my treadmill after 9/11. Before that, my kids were OK with me going out for a run before they woke up, but after my son was scared I wouldn't make it back. I use hotel gym treadmills, but I can't remember the last time I used mine.
Some winters, like last year, I don't run on it at all. This year looks to be a treadmill kind of winter!
I love this story, especially the details about your kids and dogs! I use treadmills at the gym (to walk as I don't trust the way it changes my gait, and got an injury swapping from treadmill to outside one icy winter) and I just saw some really fancy ones with routes you could run "through" at the gym where I have my physio. They do appeal. Good luck choosing a new one!
It's nice to have as a backup plan when it's too icy to get outside!
I understand completely your relationship with your treadmill. Not nearly as much fun as running outside, but when you need a running fix and Mother Nature is not cooperating, it's the best thing ya got!
The stories of you running on the treadmill when your sons were little struck a nerve. I can remember literally handing my hubby the baby as he walked in the door so that I could get out for a run. Just 30 glorious minutes alone was the only thing I could think about by the end of the day!
Those runs saved me many a breakdown when the boys were little.
Our treadmill is just a baby at only 3 years old, but we've put a ton of miles on it. We have the Sole F63, and I wrote a post about it a few months ago and all of the things I considered when I was looking. If I had it all to do over again I would have gotten a home treadmill much sooner. Yes I would choose a run outside over a run on the tready any day, but that's just not realistic where I live and I've come to love the 'mill for letting me run when the weather won't.
This is definitely the winter of the 'mill! Are you in Wisconsin?
You know my thoughts on treadmill running LOL It was almost two years ago, on a rainy & icky day in March when my treadmill had a near death experience. It just shut down after the first mile, and I could not get it to come back to life. Amazingly, a few days later, on a whim, the hubby turned it on and it worked again...like nothing had ever happened. I runfess...as much as I detest that apparatus at times, I was a little sad when I thought it was gone for good.
Mine has been trying to die for a while and we've kept it going. The way this winter is, I need something reliable. It's time.
Yeah, you're lucky you live somewhere temperate!
I don't have a treadmill. I hate them and I can't justify spending ANY money on one at all. We have a few in our community gym that I can use if I need to be on one, but like you, I would much rather be outside. I feel if I DID get one, it would have to be slightly more fancy than basic, maybe to trick me into enjoying using it more. But ultimately, I feel like it would just be there to hang towels.
Can we talk about Stuart Little???? OMG that hamster!!!!! I thought your story was going to have a much sadder ending, but look at that little guy, surviving in your treadmill with dog food. I love it!
And you know I always love Cocoa. What a cutie pie.
I debated buying a new treadmill, but ultimately I need it. This winter has been challenging for runners--between the cold and the ice, running outside hasn't been easy or safe! Being without one this week made me nuts!
It's truly a love/hate relationship!
I loved your Stuart Little story! We had our share of rodents growing up but I can't imagine having one now.
I haven't owned a treadmill in about 15 years. The strangest site to me is seeing people running on treadmills in various gyms in Waikiki, staring out the huge glass windows at the wonderful playground that I call my own. I can't imagine choosing the treadmill over outside running in Hawaii. Yeah the humidity is tough, but breathing the fresh air and listening to the waves is so much better.
What the heck?? People are crazy! When I go to Hawaii (OK only twice in the last 10 years) I make sure to run as much as possible - it's so beautiful!
Agreed! Who on earth would trade running outside in paradise for running on a treadmill in a gym?
Dang, you certainly got your money's worth with that treadmill! Loved reading about the fun memories that came along with it, and I'm glad you aren't hesitating to get a new one.
My husband balked when I told him I was buying a new TM. Seriously? If this one lasts half as long, I'll still have gotten my money's worth out of it.
I don't have a treadmill but honestly ive thought of getting one. With weather as unpredictable as it is here (and sometimes I just want to sleep in and run whenever I want too) I think I could use one . Id say that's a great life span for a treadmill though!
I think if I lived in Florida, I'd want a TM for the summer!
Haha! I love that you named the gym TM! I never named mine.
I had a NordicTrack treadmill (C 900 or something) that I loved. I got it in grad school as a graduation gift to myself (which required a LOT of penny pinching for several months, getting a good scholarship and assistantship, and then lucking up a big sale at Sears). It got me through early mornings in grad school and two polar vortex winters in Indiana, but then we had to sell it when we moved to Seattle because West Coast apartments are so much smaller. Now, I'm happy with the YMCA treadmills and track, but I would totally buy a Nordictrack one again if I get one.
I looked at the Nordictrack TMs but they were a little more expensive and the ProForm I ultimately decided on was the highest rated "budget" TM.
Sigh. End of an era. I feel like things I've had for a long time are a connection to the past. As much as the treadmill is not the preferred way to run, it is a necessity in our climate. All the best with shopping for the replacement!
I was surprised at how many memories the treadmill holds!
I am impressed that Stewart Little survived the treadmill situation!
Lots of memories with your TM for sure!
I have A Nordic track that I actually bought for my husband a few years back but it has become mine now. I love it!
You're the second person to profess their love for the NordicTrack! I went with another ProForm.
I love reading all about your memories with the treadmill. That picture of your boys is adorable!!
I would rather run outside too. Took me a while to actually do it and "enjoy" running during the winter. However, this winter has been challenging and a treadmill is necessary. My gym has new treadmills but somehow they're programmed for your weight to show up on the screen and then there are no number buttons to select or change the speed. I can go to another gym but I like the location.
Oh nooooo! I'd be so sad if my treadmill broke. We'd need a new one pronto! I agree - there are so many features on the new ones. I don't want to even see because mine still works :) I'm not sure how old ours is, but it has something like 18,000 miles on it. We've replaced the deck and belt on it several times now. It's a solid machine (Precor)!

> How do I reference an email?
I was just wondering how I would go about referencing an email in my thesis? I recieved some financial information that I have used in my report and would like to know how I would go about referencing this, preferebly via Endnote.
Edit: All good, I think I have found it under "Other Sources" --> "Personal Communication". So to reference an email for example, would it be formatted as: "Sender, Year, Personal Communication, Date" or "Sender, Year, Email, Date". If it's the latter, do I leave it as "email" or do I place the email address of the person there? It is an email from a member of a hospital.
No need to place the email address of the sender in the in text reference.
As to the EndNote thing, you'd be better off just writing it into the paper because our Harvard style can't output personal communication in the way you'd need to format it and indeed I'm not sure if it could even if you wanted to try and edit the style, from a quick look at the style edit function in EndNote.

Downtown Traffic Detours Affecting Business Owners
April 3, 2006 – A week of rerouting traffic in downtown Charlotte Amalie has caused financial problems for some local business owners and confusion for many motorists.
Besides further limiting parking in the area, and adding to the clouds of dust emanating from the ongoing Roosevelt Park revitalization project, business owners said that blinking traffic lights, unmarked lanes and badly placed signs have also caused long lines and chaos for residents who do not know where they can or cannot turn.
The detour, which went into effect March 27, allows for repair to a culvert that runs beneath the Kanal Gade and Veterans Drive intersection, across from the Ron de Lugo Federal Building. (See "Traffic Backs Up as Culvert Work Detours Motorists").
While many business owners said the repair was necessary, they also said they had "no idea" that traffic was going to be rerouted. "We really had no warning," said David Nguyen, owner of Alternative Beauty Spa on Norre Gade. "No one came to talk to us about what's going on, there was no public meeting," he said Monday. "It just happened one day and we all had to get used to it."
Nguyen said the new detour has significantly cut his profits, which he anticipated would decrease further as Carnival gets closer. "On a good day, we usually get about 50 customers, but since the rerouting started, we've only gotten about 20 customers a week," he said.
"Since it's hard for people to park, they don't want to come in, and they also don't want to walk down the street because they're getting hit with the dust from the construction in the park."
"Our profits have gone down so much that if it gets any worse, we're going to have to close," Nguyen said.
The conversion of Norre Gade (where Eastbound traffic on Veterans Drive must turn left onto Hospital Gade and right on Norre Gade to Beltjen Road) is further disrupting businesses like Daylight Bakery, a fixture in the area since 1983.
Bakery manager Brenda Penn said, "Many of our customers park on the sidewalk and come in for five or 10 minutes to get a cup of coffee or some breakfast. But since the street has been turned into a one-way, many of the parking spaces have been eliminated and it has kept people from stopping and coming in. Business, in short, has been dead."
Penn said business owners in the area attended a meeting about the detour last September at Charlotte Amalie High School. She said that at the meeting she told representatives from the Transportation Division of the Public Works Department that residents should be given five-to-10 minutes to park, so they can stop into the stores or "take a minute to walk their kids into school."
She said, "I thought that the crews should be working around the clock so the project could go faster – because we were told that it's supposed to take about three months to finish, and that's a really long time. They didn't take any of our concerns into consideration, however. And now people are afraid to park out here because there are police officers standing on the street giving out $25 tickets, and yelling at anyone pulling onto the sidewalk."
Penn added, "And I know the officers are just as frustrated by the situation, but they're not handling it well."
"It's because we're exhausted," said one traffic officer, who did not want to be named, when approached Monday morning. She added that some of the traffic officers have been directing traffic in the area from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. without a break, and standing in the sun, "without water, or even a chance to go to the bathroom."
Another concern for business owners is the lack of road signs in the area indicating which streets are parts of the detour. Penn said the signs that have been installed are either not visible, or have been placed in inconvenient spots, so residents are unable to tell which roads are open or closed.
"The signs are not helping at all," she said. "In fact, in some places there are no signs at all, until you hit a street that you're not supposed to be turning onto. Then, when you turn around, you may hit another street that's been rerouted, or you may have to go all the way around by Pueblo in Long Bay and come down the Waterfront. It's frustrating."
Penn also said, "The streets that have been made into one ways, but have two lanes turning in opposite directions, are not marked – that is, there's no division in the middle of the road indicating that there should be two lanes, so residents are just making one single line, and holding up traffic because they don't know where they can turn." As an example, Penn said that there are "no turning" signs placed on one side of the Norre Gade and Beltjen Road intersection, but not on the other, causing many residents to turn onto the now one-way street.
"It's like – where do you drive?" she said. "How do you know where to go?"
Public Works Commissioner George W. Phillips said in a phone interview Monday afternoon that since the signs are posing a problem for residents, a staff member from the Transportation Division would continue to monitor the area and look into placing signs "on streets leading to main routes so residents are always aware of where they should be going."
Phillips said that the contractor, Brian Chick Construction Inc, "indicated that they would not be working 24 hours a day" to finish the project. "Because of the lighting position at night, the error rate is very high and the crews would have to go back during the day to correct their work," he said.
"So, what we plan to do is work right up until the busy season for Carnival, then we'll halt the project until the activities have finished, and when we resume, we'll ask the contractor to extend work hours as early as possible during the morning and as late as possible during the evening."
Phillips added that he anticipates the project will be finished earlier than the 90 days stipulated in the contract, because the department has to "gear up" for other road development projects.

David Bohnett Acceptance Speech for the ACLU Citizen Advocate Award
The Bohnett Foundation was founded just over three years ago, in May of 1999, and in early 2000 we hired Michael Fleming as the organization's first Program Officer. My only concern was that Michael had a job at the time…as the Media Director at the ACLU. When I approached Ramona to make sure that she would be OK with this, she gently (but firmly) placed her hand on my arm and said, "I'm sure that we can find some way for you to make it up to me." Well, I hope that I have. But I honestly think, especially in light of all of the important work that Martha has done as the Bohnett Attorney… that we are the ones who should be thanking Ramona, Martha and the entire ACLU staff.
Hardly a week goes by that I don't get an email sharing Martha's docket. From filing a First Amendment case challenging the removal of books on famous gay and lesbian people from an Anaheim public school library, to defending the right of youth service providers to protest the absurd choice of "Dr. Laura" as the keynote speaker at a child welfare conference…Martha is there.
Martha has worked tirelessly on the highly controversial case challenging California's "Second-Parent Adoption" Law… and spends much of her time…not in the courtroom but in the classroom… working on public education and advocacy projects that seek to ensure safety and fairness for LGBT students in public schools.
I could not be more proud to have my name associated with her trailblazing work.
But there is so much more to be done…
Gays and lesbians continue to face discrimination at the altar and in the courts… and our inability to marry, not just enter into Domestic Partnerships or Civil Unions…continues to make all of us 'less than equal' in the eyes of the law. It is time to put an end to this state-sanctioned discrimination and demand, of both our elected leaders and the courts, that our relationships be treated with the same respect and equality that are accorded of our straight brothers and sisters.
We continue to see children taken from their homes and their families simply because their parents are gay. In Florida, Tennessee and Mississippi, just to name a few states, courts continue to punish gay and lesbian families… issuing myths and biased assertions from the bench about our ability to parent. We cannot and must not allow those most vulnerable, our children, to be pawns of the right wing's political agenda.
We have an administration in Washington that has placed its seal of approval on government funding for faith-based institutions… even when those groups routinely and legally… deny employment to gays and lesbians.
The list of challenges doesn't end there…nor can our commitment to fight this kind of hatred and bigotry.
In late 1994, I had an idea for an Internet company that would become a sort of an electronic village – a place where people who shared a common interest and philosophy could gather together to meet and exchange ideas and information. It was the voices, contributions and passions of those cyber-citizens that made each community a strong and vibrant place to visit. I believed in the concept of communities on the Internet in the same way that, as an activist, I had worked to better my community here at home. For those reasons, and so many more, I am honored to be called an ACLU Citizen Advocate.
For those of us who support the ACLU and other programs and organizations that, by some, are seen as controversial, I am reminded of a favorite quote of Eleanor Roosevelt.
Frequently, she responded to queries about her perseverance by saying, "Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, like me, must undergo the fatigues of supporting it."
I suspect, though, that Mrs. Roosevelt really felt much the same way that Ramona and I and all of you do…that supporting the ACLU if far from tiring…indeed, it is invigorating. And with this Award, you have energized me to continue to do whatever I can to honor the civil liberties and civil rights that this great organization works to preserve for us all.

Travel crazy couple looking for more adventures.
Alan is a sailor and a scientist from New Zealand who met Cynthia while in Bible School in Europe. We have been married for 40 years and have had great opportunities to live in many countries. We are now retired and living in Gig Harbor, WA and we enjoy it everyday.
We have enjoyed traveling and want to continue to do so. We have driven across the country 3 times in the past 5 years. We love driving and just being together. We have had many cats over 40 years and we now have 7 grand children living near by, so I did my homework and decided that a Ragdoll would be the best fit for our family and we all love her.
I have house sat for B&Bs and did all the cleaning and cooking that is required and enjoyed doing it. Last summer we helped our daughter run her Air B & B. Alan grew up on family farms in New Zealand. We have had experience with all small animals during my children lives. For us a cat fits with our life of travel but we love all animals. You can trust us to love your animals like our own.
Cynthia and Alan were brilliant sitters. They made an effort to make contact ahead of the sit and kept in contact up to the date they came. The animals were really well looked after and we returned back to a happy dog and cat. The house was left exactly as we had left it and was immaculately clean and tidy. We would have no hesitation in recommending Cynthia and Alan and would be glad to have them return. Thank you again.
Cynthia and Alan looked after our two cats Tibby and Sheba (and our house!) for just over a week in March. They did a perfect job. The house looked spotless when we got home and the cats didn't appear to have missed us (in a good way!). They were a really lovely couple and did everything we asked of them. They were easy to keep in contact with while we were away and sent some photos showing the cats relaxing with them! Highly recommended and would invite them back again without any hesitation.
have been in New Zealand for 8 weeks.They were fantastic and I would welcome them back anytime.
The house looks as though no one has been here and Bonnie our border collie had only good things to say about her care!
Thanks very much for the pleasure of looking after your beautiful home and your sweet Bonnie. You live in such a nice area. People all around us were so kind. And the walks in the area are fantastic.

Hello everyone! How is your week going? Do you have any big plans for this coming weekend? I am excited to be preparing for one of my two weekend crafting retreats that I hold annually. For this event, I'm hosting 22 ladies at a lodge in central Ohio. It is always so much fun to get away, craft, spend time with friends, and eat wonderful food! I'll be sharing information and pictures, so stop back in to hear more about it! Today I have a pretty card made with the Stampin' Up! Varied Vases stamp set and Vases Builder Punch to share. Here it is!
I love how this set works together. You can stamp both the flowers and vases if you like and leave it as is. Or you can punch one vase, or several, to add an extra element. Punch them out of a different color paper or pop them up, and you have even added interest.
Here you can see the stamp set and punch up close. The stamp set includes neat greetings in a very pretty font plus lots of vases, flowers, and motifs. The punch includes three different shaped vases, a flower, and a leaf.
Using different color combinations, you could create some pretty amazing vase and flower combos with this set!
Thanks for visiting! Subscribe to my blog to make sure you don't miss future projects!

Creoso i Wrecsam
I am so in love with Welcome to Wrexham, currently airing in the slightly odd pattern of two episodes a week on Disney+. I usually try and wait to the end of a series before writing about it but there's been so much good stuff packed into the first six episodes, we're going to have to do a part one, at least.
First of all, as many people have noted, this show has really benefited from the good vibes and football accessibility that Ted Lasso has brought. Lasso really paved the way for people who aren't traditionally football fans watching shows about the sport, and opening it up to the US audience who don't even call the sport by its proper name. This Wrexham series leans into the new audience with educational moments that are both hilarious and also, actually, really useful for non-football fans like myself.
It would be easy to take up a whole post writing about how brilliant Rob and Ryan are coming across in the episodes aired to date. Whilst their reasons for buying the team still feel a bit random, the passion is clearly genuine and their friendship, whilst new, clear to see. They riff off each other well, as you'd expect from two comedy stars, and there's two great juxtapositions that make it fascinating viewing: their relative levels of fame, and their US vs Canadian attitudes. A wonderful mix.
There are great insights into what makes a football team special and the intricate things I'd never think of. I was astounded by the fact that at this level, it's proper livelihood stuff - one small mistake and you're out of a job but it's not just like going down the job centre and getting another one. I loved seeing the kids waiting outside the gates asking for the goalkeeper's gloves and saying 'see you next week', as if they'll be back to demand more kit later. All the ins and outs of owning a club that doesn't own its own stadium, the battle, and the celebration when the fight is won.
But it's really the town of Wrexham and its inhabitants that star. The glimpse inside the lives of the footballers, both home grown and new to the area, as well as long time fans (episode 6 had someone who had been a fan for 90 years… which is just incredible). I've been guilty of rolling my eyes at some of the expressions of adoration to what I would say was 'just a football team' but of course it's so much more than that. It's a community and something for a struggling town to rally around, and that means more than I'll ever be able to understand… but I'm glad to be seeing a glimpse of it on screen.
Here are some notable quotes from the first few episodes:
"Ryan and I have never met in person. But we did buy a football team together."
"This is Hollywood to a tee. Beautiful on the outside… and just shit."
"I've only been owner of a football club for a short time, but so far, I've found it to be very time-consuming, emotionally exhausting, financially idiotic, and utterly addictive."
"If someone makes a mistake higher up the pitch there's other stages that can get them out the shit further down the line whereas, if a keeper makes a mistake, 9 or 9.9 times out of 10, it's gonna end up in the back of the net."
"Ryan Reynolds and his friend." BURN.
"I'm not so much more patient. I just drink more."

CENSORED! YouTube Begins Banning Videos About CBD Oil Saying It's 'Harmful'
Cannabidiol (CBD) Can Reduce the Risk of Relapse Among Alcohol and Cocaine Addicts
The 10 Primary Directives of Mainstream Media
Remember the Promise of Net Neutrality? It Was a Power Grab by Tech Giants Who Now Decide What You Get to See… or Not
American Inmates Stage Nationwide Prison Labor Strike over 'Modern Slavery'
YouTube has ramped up their censorship campaign and this time, they are coming after CBD ( cannabidiol) oil. Channels which discuss CBD oil will be banned because according to YouTube, it "poses a risk of serious physical harm or death."
The Daily Sheeple | The Daily Sheeple
Mike Adams, otherwise known as The Health Ranger on YouTube has now been permanently banned. The Natural News channel is for a second time, gone. The reason? According to Adams, YouTube claimed a 43-second video he posted about the compassionate healing potential of CBD oil was subjecting viewers to "risk of serious physical harm or death." Rather than allowing the issuance of three strikes before banning a channel, YouTube permanently banned our channel with a single strike (click here to see screenshots.)
YouTube now considers videos that talk about natural medicine and saving lives from cancer to be "harmful" and "dangerous." Really. That's what YouTube has now become: an enemy of natural medicine and healing.
This is the same YouTube that openly allows children of all ages to view a violent depiction of a deadly massacre because it's part of a hate-based music video from "Childish Gambino" called This is America. Meanwhile, Paul Joseph Watson's video that brilliantly exposes the narrative of violence and hate that infuses the music video has been shadowbanned by YouTube to make sure no one sees it. That's right: The video depicting mass murder in a black church is not banned, but a video criticizing that video gets effectively banned. -Natural News
The censorship is only getting worse, and it's affecting those who critical of the official narrative, whether it be on violence, gun ownership, mass shootings, or Western medicine. Hopefully, we can all stand together soon and speak against all censorship of any kind for any reason. Free speech isn't just a constitutional right, it's a fundamental human right.

iOS is Apple's native operating system that powers its iDevices (iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch). It's the main software people use to access the functionality of the device. Sometimes it is also written as an adjective; an application is installed on iOS devices, where iOS devices is referring to all the devices that run the iOS software. It is the first thing people interact with after powering up their device, appearing on the lock screen of iPad, iPhone, iPod touch. The operating system also controls the settings menu in these devices. Users can adjust toggles, screen rightness, WiFi, Bluetooth, and more through this menu. Read More ...
Importantly, iOS enables people to run many applications that are downloaded from the App Store. iOS will do all the hard work while the apps run, managing the memory of the iDevice to ensure that all operations are running smooth. Any application available on the App Store runs on iOS devices. People just have to tap "App Store" on their device and go through what apps they need using the search function of the store. Some applications can be used for free and some cost money; you can find out more about that when you start downloading the app.
The iOS software is updated every year by Apple to keep things fresh. Every new update is loaded with new features that make the firmware better. Also, each update is available with a new number, so it's easy for users to figure which iOS firmware is installed or available on their iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch. Unlockboot publishes a wide variety of iOS-related topics. We talk about iOS software in general as well as problems often faced by iOS users.

I think you're sauceome. - So many avocados!
Ha! I don't think I have ever seen so much avocados in my life, and I live in Brazil! I could never guess there were so many kinds.
I love the way you colored this, btw. Is it watercolor or digital…? I'd love to see a video of you coloring your art someday.
i <3 avocados. you should make a print of this one!
If you have an avocado party, I will fly in!
Also, if you make a print of this, I will have to buy one.
Get me one of dem bacon avocados!!
When I first saw this, it nearly blew my mind! Is it possible to find and buy such a wide variety of avocados where you live?
And by the way, I would also like to see a video or something of your coloring process. I'm very fascinated by watercolors and how nice they look, and I like your watercolored artwork.
And you're not the only person who's asked for a video of me doing watercolors! I don't know why the thought of doing one fills me with such anxiety, except that I haven't had any real training and my philosophy is to just push colors around on the page until I'm happy with them. Let me try to get over my shyness and work up the courage to do a video, or a livestream or something.
I see! I was a tiny bit envious, but without reason =) And I'm even slightly allergic (or something) against avocados. A spoonful of tasty guacamole is fine, but if I eat any more, I risk getting very nauseous.
I would also totally buy a print of this!!
i picked this selection because i live in zone 8b (we get frost, even snow about once a decade. another consideration was ripening times. i have varieties that ripen the year round (with a few gaps).
haas avocado? they are a wonderful avocado from a merchandising point of view. can be harvested year round in californistan, it ships well, and has a long shelf life. that's great for the merchandiser. quality for the customer? not so much. haas is an o.k. avocado, but just that – o.k.
and that's just the varieties sold by ONE nursery.
I think you're sauceome. - Let's go Bananas!


Hooray! It's nearly half term and summer's on its way so let's head out and see what's happening in the woods.
At this time of year, the trees are covered in lush, new green leaves, so it's a great time to hone your tree identification skills – our leaf iDial will help you.
If you have a mini nature detective in tow, why not help them make a leaf collection so they can enjoy all the different shapes and textures.
And you have all the materials you need to make a leaf boat and sail it on a puddle or stream.
It's also a good time for bird watching, so why not build yourself a den with a difference – one that can double as a bird hide? Check out our den building guide for some construction tips. But remember to leave one or more little 'windows' so you can peer out and watch the birds!
Eating outdoors is loads of fun and a great way to appreciate the better weather! Either pack up a picnic to take to the woods or lay out a rug in your garden or local park. You can even take lots of home-made goodies - have a look at our recipes for ideas on some delicious treats like magical fairy cakes, perfect for taking on an adventure.
In the spring, birds are busy building nests so they can lay their eggs and hatch their chicks. Most of them make a pretty good job of it. Why not have a go at making a bird's nest and see how yours matches up? Prop it in the crook of a tree and go back in a few days to see if it's held together. You never know – if you've made a comfy nest, then you might find a bird has moved in!
If you're really good at it, you could build a giant nest that you and your friends can sit in.
Now it's getting warmer, you'll find more and more flying minibeasts out and about. Look for busy bees zipping from flower to flower and beautiful butterflies and moths fluttering by. Don't forget to take along our butterfly spotter and day-flying moths ID.
Lift stones and logs to see who's hiding underneath – our creepy crawly spotter sheet and beetle ID will help you identify the little critters. While you're about it, why not have a go at building them a minibeast palace? And remember to keep your eyes peeled for ladybirds!
Elves and fairies are very shy, so you're unlikely to see one. But, if you're really quiet and look carefully, you can find lots of signs of their presence. You might come across a fairy ring of mushrooms, or hear a strange whispering in the leaves... Can you find any other tiny woodland items that might be used by a fairy? Have a look at our elf and fairy hunt activity for ideas. You could also build them an elf house, hold a fairy tea party, or make a fairy garden and fairy door so they can come and visit.
Half term is a great time to get stuck into some arts and crafts. Take some paper and crayons into the woods to make bark rubbings and leaf drawings, or bring the outside in with these ladybird potato-stamps! Have a look at our colouring pages for for lots of spring-themed pictures to get your creative juices flowing.
Don't despair at a gloomy weather forecast, there's plenty to get up to in the rain. Grab your raincoat, pull on your wellies and prepare for mud! We have loads of ideas for what to do inside too, like making a rain stick, using water drops to make art and even measuring rainfall with a simple rain gauge. Discover our rainy day ideas.
Become a family of Nature Detectives for £5 a month to get seasonal activity packs in the post with loads more fun ideas for young explorers!

Not just another stir fry!
Following on from our recent blogpost of a low FODMAP stir-fry recipe, keep in mind that a stir-fry is one of those dishes that can be made in many different ways – to suit all tastes and tolerance levels. A stir-fry may be made low FODMAP to start with, but when symptoms are well-controlled and you are ready to re-introduce foods into your diet, add in a moderate-FODMAP ingredient and continue to monitor your symptoms. If well tolerated, next time include another ingredient from the moderate-high FODMAP group. When you get started with re-introducing foods into your diet, you may like to try an ingredient you have missed eating for some time, or work with your dietitian to create a list of ingredients to be re-introduced first.
Below is a list of the many ingredients you may include from the green serves (low FODMAP), the amber serves (moderate FODMAP) and the red serves (high FODMAP) for a stir-fry that suits your tastes and tolerance-level. All of these and more can be found in our Monash University low FODMAP diet app.
You may also like to include white, basmati or brown rice as the base to your stir-fry dish. Alternatively, try rice based noodles such as rice vermicelli.
Flavour with chilli, a variety of herbs and spices and garlic infused oil - for example, some ginger or galangal and lemongrass with coriander. You may also like to add, soy sauce, oyster sauce or a sweet and sour sauce. There are many ways to flavour a stir-fry and other dishes – it all depends on your preference.
Here are some images of a stir-fry I created at home which included a number of low FODMAP and moderate FODMAP ingredients, flavoured with ginger, coriander, an Asian stir-fry sauce and lime, served with basmati rice.
Please feel free to share your ingredient ideas for a stir-fry with us and others – not all stir-fries need to be the same.

Q: Listener to tell if a table has an element in it I'm working on a Java project using SWT/JFace. I have a Table that is using a TableViewer. The table will only ever have 0 or 1 items in it (depending on the data it's viewing...). Is there a way to listen to this table to see if it has an item in it or not. I have been using ISelectionChangedListener on the viewer so far, but it doesn't work perfectly as the user must click on the item to register the change. Ideally the listener would be triggered every time an item is put into or removed from the table. I've looked around, but can't find what I need.
Anyone out there know what I am looking for?

A: Strictly based on this, "table will only ever have 0 or 1 items in it", a simple work around is to use a PaintListener, this works even if the window is hidden behind other windows. The major drawback is when the content is not visible on the UI (like when TableItem is accessible via scrolling) then it won't work. The solution works on Win7 and with eclipse 3.7.2.

            }
        });

        display.timerExec(1000, new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                if(table.isDisposed()) return;
                TableItem item = new TableItem(table, SWT.NONE);
                item.setText("" + counter++);
                if(counter > 10) {
                    table.clearAll();
                    counter = 0;
                }

Voisey's Bay nickel mine
Ice and lolly
An icebreaker heads to the mines of northern Canada
The AmericasApr 12th 2014 edition
BY ANY standards the Voisey's Bay nickel mine is remote. Diamond prospectors found the deposit near the coast of Canada's easternmost province of Newfoundland and Labrador in 1993 (see map); the mine, which is operated by Vale of Brazil, opened in 2005. No roads connect it to the outside world. Although a giant hydroelectric plant is just 365km (230 miles) away, at Churchill Falls, the mine gets no power from it.
The 300 mine workers can be flown in and out. The nickel has to be shipped—no easy task when the bay is closed off by sea ice for six months a year. The only way to get ore out all year round is with a polar-class icebreaking bulk carrier, the Umiak I. It makes 12 trips a year.
The Umiak I is the world's most powerful icebreaking cargo ship. It has a reinforced hull and a soupspoon-shaped bow that rides up over the ice, which can be as thick as ten metres in places. The ship is powered by a 30,000 horsepower engine, large enough to drive an oil tanker ten times its size. Satellite imagery helps identify where the ice is thickest. Even so, the Umiak I was stopped a few times by dense ice in the Gulf of St Lawrence and along the Labrador coast on a voyage last month. When the ice resists, the Umiak I reverses and tries again. The cooks put on ear protectors as the engine whines and the ship shudders.
The Umiak I operates a shuttle service from Quebec City, a 1,850km voyage that usually takes three-and-a-half to four days. On its final approach into Voisey's Bay the ship takes the same route every time, with markers a few metres on each side, so as not to disturb Inuit. A group of hunters on snowmobiles wait as the ship passes, ready with a pontoon bridge to cross the open water that the icebreaker leaves behind.
On the trip out, the deck is covered with more than 150 containers carrying mining supplies and food for the people who work there. Sometimes a hold is filled with diesel for the mine's 12MW electricity-generating station. On the return voyage it carries as much as 30,000 tonnes of nickel-copper concentrate, which goes by train from Quebec City to Vale's smelter in Sudbury, Ontario. That makes for a precious cargo: the price of nickel is well off its peak but the load is still worth a cool $100m or so.

The Firm Clients Call When Winning is Everything
Defining a copyright and some of the issues it involves
On behalf of Klein & Wilson posted in Intellectual Property on Wednesday, February 24, 2016.
One of the most prevalent and immediately noticeable elements of the world of intellectual property is the copyright. Everyone recognizes the "C in a circle" logo near many products and original works. But what does a copyright do, and why is it so important for companies and content creators?
Let's define the term first. A copyright is a form of legal protection for creators of original content, such as musical works, literary works pictures, software, broadcasts and other similar forms of work. The copyright forbids other people from utilizing the copyrighted work in a number of different contexts, such as derivative works (basing work on the copyrighted work), repurposing the work and displaying or distributing the work in public.
The copyright grants the owner of the copyright to grant other people to use their protected work in those ways. But utilizing the work in those contexts without permission is forbidden, and can lead to very serious legal consequences for offenders.
However, there are fair use laws, and these grant people the right to use copyrighted work in certain limited situations. For example, for the purpose of a parody, or to criticize or comment on the copyrighted work. Copyrighted work can also be utilized under fair use laws in news reports, for the purposes of teaching in a classroom, and for research purposes.
Obtaining a copyright isn't easy, but with the right legal counsel on your side, you (or your company) can protect a piece of work that is vital to your success.

Drunk Driver's Blood Alcohol Level Was 4X Over The Legal Limit In Car Accident That Killed U.S. Marine In Columbia, Maryland
December 6, 2006 | Lebowitz & Mzhen
Police in Maryland say that the 25-year-old driver whose vehicle crashed right into the back of a Toyota Corolla, killing two people on Thanksgiving night, was driving under the influence with a blood alcohol level that was four times over the legal limit. The blood alcohol test was given to Eduardo Raul Morales-Soriano at a police station, where his alcohol level registered at .32.
The car accident, which took place at the intersection of route 175 and 108 in Colombia, Maryland killed 21-year-old Marine Corporal Brian Matthews of Colombia and Jennifer Bower, 24, of Montgomery Village. Their Corolla had been standing still at a red light when the rear-end collision forced their car off the road.
According to U.S. police, Morales-Soriano is a Mexican national who is in the United States illegally. His prior criminal record includes a drunk driving charge that was dismissed by a court and reckless driving. He now faces charges for negligent manslaughter, negligent homicide, and drunk driving. Morales-Soriano could face up to 36 years in prison and be forced to pay a $30,000 fine.
In Maryland, drivers with a .08 BAC (Blood Alcohol Concentration) and higher are considered to be driving under the influence. A DUI offense leads to the immediate suspension of your license.
Maryland DUI (driving under the influence): For a first offense, penalties include up to one year in jail, up to a $1000 fine, and a minimum license suspension of 45 days.
For a second offense, penalties are two years in jail and a $2,000 fine. Every time a person is convicted of drunk driving, their license will be suspended.
Maryland DWI (driving while impaired under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs): For a first offense, penalties include 8 points on the Maryland Driver's license record, two months in jail, a license suspension of up to 60 days, and a fine of up to $500.
For a second offense, penalties can include up to one year in jail and a $500 fine. Refusing to take the breath test can result in a person's driver's license being suspended for up to 120 days.
DUI and DWI arrests of persons from other states will still require a Maryland MVA Hearing to protect their driving privileges. Maryland is a member of the Interstate Driver's License Compact, which shares information about DUI convictions and driver's license actions with other member states. There are 45 states that belong to this compact.
The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) calculates that the average alcohol-related fatality in Maryland costs $3.6 million: $1.1 million in monetary costs and $2.5 million in quality of life losses. Also, motor vehicle accidents involving alcohol set the state back an astounding $1.9 billion in the year 2000.
The personal injury law firm of Lebowitz and Mzhen handles injury cases that result as a result of someone else's negligent behavior. If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a car accident because of a drunk driver, you may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit. Contact Lebowitz and Mzhen for a free consultation.

VTE Prophylaxis in IBD With Hematochezia Safe and Recommended
Although they are less likely to receive it, patients hospitalized with inflammatory bowel disease should be placed on venous thromboembolism prophylaxis to reduce the number of preventable VTE events.
Although they are less likely to receive it, patients hospitalized with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) should be placed on venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis to reduce the number of preventable VTE events in this patient population, according to research published in Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
Researchers conducted a retrospective cohort study of hospitalized patients with IBD to assess why VTE prophylaxis prescription rates remain low despite an increased risk for VTE in this patient population. The study included adult patients admitted to either general medicine or colorectal surgery services for ≥48 hours between January 2013 and August 2018. Automated queries were used to identify the demographic and baseline information contained in the electronic medical records.
The total cohort included 22,499 patients, 2.1% of whom had IBD. Among patients with IBD, 43.7% had ulcerative colitis, 55.3% had Crohn disease, and 1.0% had indeterminate colitis. A majority of these patients were younger than 50 years (26% aged between 18 and 30 years). Of the 22,025 patients without IBD, 87% received pharmacologic VTE prophylaxis, compared with 79% of patients with IBD.
The results of a multivariate analysis of all patients demonstrated that older age, multiple comorbidities, being a woman, and VTE history were all associated with a likelihood of receiving VTE prophylaxis. Conversely, anemia, thrombocytopenia, and admission to a medical rather than surgical service were associated with a reduced likelihood of receiving the same prophylactic treatment. The presence of IBD was also significantly associated with a decreased likelihood of VTE prophylaxis (adjusted odds ratio 0.57; 95% CI, 0.44-0.73), but when hematochezia was included in the final model, IBD was no longer independently related to VTE prophylaxis.
Among patients with IBD, VTE prophylaxis rates were lower in those experiencing an IBD flare compared with those without (76% vs 85%, respectively). A univariate analysis identified hematochezia, admission to medical service, and initial hemoglobin <7 g/dL as factors associated with a decreased likelihood of receiving VTE prophylaxis. In a final multivariable model, these same predictors remained significantly associated with a decreased likelihood of receiving VTE prophylaxis. Results were similar after they were stratified for ulcerative colitis and Crohn disease. In addition, hematochezia was one of the strongest predictors of decreased likelihood of VTE prophylaxis (adjusted odds ratio 0.27; 95% CI, 0.16-0.46).
Due to its strong association, investigators further assessed the clinical significance of hematochezia in IBD. No statistically significant differences were found in transfusion requirements between patients with and without hematochezia. Among those with hematochezia, 17% required any packed red blood cell (pRBC) transfusion during hospitalization, and 5.4% required ≥3 pRBC transfusions when hematochezia was present; for those without hematochezia, these numbers were 13% and 6.6%.
Investigators also examined the extent of bleeding during patient hospitalization and how it impacted VTE prophylaxis. Among those with IBD, 14% who received VTE prophylaxis also required pRBC transfusion, compared with 15% of those who did not receive VTE prophylaxis.
Finally, researchers investigated 112 patients with both IBD and hematochezia, comparing the transfusion and hemoglobin requirements between those who received VTE prophylaxis and those who did not. There were no significant differences in initial hemoglobin values between patients who did and patients who did not receive VTE prophylaxis. Among those who did receive VTE prophylaxis, 19% required a pRBC transfusion and 5% required ≥ 3 pRBC transfusions, compared with 14% and 6.1% of those who did not receive VTE prophylaxis.

Study limitations included the observational nature of the study and a potential lack of generalizability based on the use of a single center. Finally, the data were not powered to quantify the net risk-benefit of VTE prophylaxis in IBD.
"To limit the number of preventable VTE events, educational efforts should emphasize the importance and safety of prophylaxis in [patients with IBD], including those with hematochezia," the researchers concluded.

On Saturday 18th June, we did a pitch at Lancaster Soup to let people know a bit about the work we do and to try to win some funding towards our free stretchy scheme. Lancaster Soup is a local community organisation that arranges monthly get-togethers with 3 or 4 groups of people pitching to win money for their project. It's been set up as a way for small groups to easily get a small lump of money without having to fill in lots of paperwork and it's also great networking. Anyone can go along and it's a great evening where you find out about lots of interesting projects locally. £5 entry will buy you a voting token and once the pitches have all been heard (just 4 minutes each, with a short Q&A on the end), you can nip to the bar for some free homemade soup.
Unfortunately the turnout was quite low this time and we missed out on the funding by just 1 vote. However, we're very happy indeed that Lancaster Sewing Cafe got the funding as the money will mean so much to them and it's a great project encouraging people to repair clothes and helping them to do so rather than throwing things away.
We may well return to Lancaster Soup in July for an event where projects that weren't successful first time round get another chance. Whatever the result, it was a good evening anyway and it was great to be able to sit down and actually talk to one another as Thursday sling meets are so busy these days that we rarely ge t the chance.
Just in case you would like to know a little more information about us, here is the content of Anthea's pitch. She did a great job despite my toddler having a mini meltdown during it as he was jealous of the weighted doll that I'd put in a stretchy wrap to demonstrate.
"Hello My name is Anthea, and I am here today with Tamsin and Abi to talk to you about the work we do at Morecambe Bay slings. We are a not for profit community incorporated company run by a team of volunteers. We work with parents throughout the Lancaster and Morecambe Bay area and provide an inclusive service which helps and supports families in our community.
When parents come to us we teach them how to use a carrier safely, and offer a hire service for over 100 slings. We also offer help with their own carriers. We meet at least weekly and our meets are a safe space for families to get help and advice about a range of parenting issues. We work closely with the breastfeeding network and our Thursday meets are also a drop in venue for breastfeeding help and advice with a trained breastfeeding peer supporter.
At Morecambe Bay Slings our vision is to create a community where every caregiver is aware of the benefits of carrying their c hildren, and we are doing everything we can to make that happen. From an evolutionary sense babies are meant to be carried. It is essential for their physiological and neurological development. Babies can be carried in arms but the use of a sling/carrier can help to increase the length and frequency of carrying. Carried babies often cry less, and sleep more. It helps to regulate temperature, heart rate, hormone regulation and breathing rate. Being carried helps to develop babies core muscles, improves their sense of balance, helps to prevent flat head syndrome and puts baby in a position for healthy hip development. As a new or old parent it can be difficult to cope with a baby who doesn't want to be put down. Carrying allows you to be hands free and gives you your freedom back. It's practical and makes accessing public transport so much easier. It's good gentle post partum exercise. It helps you to read your babies cues and be responsive to your babies needs. Slings can also be cheaper than pushchairs. They can help to strengthen the breastfeeding relationship. And most importantly slings help you to bond with your baby. The use of slings has even been shown to help reduce post partum depression and reduce attachment issues.
We want everyone to carry their children so we have recently introduced a free stretchy sling hire scheme for all families with babies under 6 weeks old. This is incredibly relevant to this area as within the 89 neighbourhoods of Lancaster and Morecambe Bay nearly a quarter of those areas are part of the 20% most deprived areas within the UK. 10 of our local neighbourhoods are in the top 10% areas of most deprivation and poverty. Deprivation and poverty is directly linked to attachment. Children born into families in these neighbourhoods are 50% m ore likely to suffer from poor attachment than children born in more privileged areas. For families in deprived areas, carrying their child can make a massive difference to their family.
Now I don't know about you but some of my fondest memories of my children when they were teeny are generally sling related. Trips out to the supermarket with a newborn snuggled in the sling or doing something in the house whilst they nap. I kept them close and I loved every minute of it. Well, the main reason we do what we do with the library is so that others can make those amazing memories too.
To help with this we have set up a free stretchy-wrap hire scheme. If you have a baby who is under 6 weeks old, then you can come to any sling library session and hire one of our Sling School stretchy wraps for 4 weeks completely free! We will show you how to use the wrap and give you a chance to have a go with a weighted doll before you try it out with your baby. We also have a video on our YouTube channel which you can watch at home if you need a reminder!
All we ask is that you provide a credit or debit card in your name, the details of which we will store on our computer system. We also ask that you leave a £20 deposit which is returned once you return the sling. You must also agree to our terms and conditions of hire. This is open to anyone in the Morecambe Bay area and surrounding areas.

The sun starts to go down.
Balancing on rocks as they go.
Water pushes against the shore.
Light sparkles like paper thin gold on the surface.
She is painfully aware of their bodies.
She worries someone will catch her staring a little too long.
And to build up the tension she feels.
Like bodies moving through darkness.
Because people still ask her about the boys she likes.
She has eyes for women.
Where it never sees the light of day.
Her emotions are as clear as the azure sky.
Longing and lust lie at the core.
And for once, she lets it float through her.
Until she forgets it was ever cold.


AIM: The aim of the 'Belt of Truth' Sunday School Lesson (Ephesians 6:14) is to teach the children what it means to wear the belt of truth and to have the truth of Jesus in their lives, holding them together.
Two Truths and a Lie. Players create tell two truths and a lie about themselves. Everyone must guess which fact is the lie.
True or False. Create a true or false quiz on a theme of your choosing and have the children run from either side of the room to decide whether the statement is true or false. Make sure you have evidence to back up your answers.
Junk in the Trunk. Players compete to get 8 ping pong balls out of a tissue box that it is attached to their waist with a belt. They cannot take their feet off the floor.
BIG VERSE: Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist. Ephesians 6:14.
Read Acts 7:54-60 or play the Stephen is Stoned video.
If you have an example of a Roman belt then this would be great to show around the room. Alternatively you will find many images of the belts to project on a screen or print out if you google 'cingulum' or 'balteus'.
A Roman soldier's belt was called a Cingulum or a Balteus. They were the mark of a soldier as belts were not meant for civilian use! When worn over chainmail, the belt helped to take some of the weight off the soldier's shoulders. In the first half of the 1st century AD it was common to wear two belts in the army: one to hold the sword and one to hold the dagger. Foot soldiers wore their sword on their right, officers on their left. In the Later Empire, this distinction fell away. The belts were rather narrow and were decorated with metal plates all the way around. The decoration of each bronze plate could be quite intricate. They featured embossed or engraved designs, sometimes plated with tin, and in rare cases coated with silver foil. It is possible that part of the belt's important purpose was to portray a man's social status as a soldier.
3) to hold all the armor together so it didn't fall off or fall apart during the fight!
Belts were very important for a Roman soldier, without them they could have no sword; so they couldn't attack the enemy. A soldier's armor would be too heavy for them to bear and it would probably fall off and be dragging behind them as they tried to defend themselves or run away from the enemy.
You will need some paper clips or large grip clip.
Say: Oh no! That's so annoying! All these papers are very important, they have things on them that explain who I am, what I want to do and where and how I want to be. The problem is that they keep getting muddled up and I'm not sure what's what when they go everywhere. That's the same in life. Sometimes tough times come and they can blow us away. We can find it difficult to keep going and maybe it feels like our life is falling apart. But wait, I have something that will help with my papers – a huge paper clip or grip! This keeps my papers together so when a wind comes they are held together they aren't going to blow away!
You know, the truth is like a belt that holds everything together. Jesus said that he is THE TRUTH (John 14:6). He also said that his word; the Word of God, the Bible is TRUTH! Now, we need to make sure that we have the truth – Jesus and God's word in our life! He helps us to hold everything together! He even holds the whole world together – nothing would work right without him – but he works everything perfectly together!
In our Bible story Stephen was able to hold himself together even when threatened with death! He didn't start crying or ranting and raging – he didn't start swearing or telling people they were idiots. Stephen simply told them the truth about Jesus. He didn't care what happened to himself because he had Jesus! For Stephen, Jesus held it all together for him.
Like the belt taking some of the weight, Stephen didn't have to be burdened with worry or fear, because the truth of Jesus was taking the weight off his shoulders! He didn't need anything else. So when Stephen died everyone would have been amazed that he stuck with Jesus until the end. Stephen knew and had the truth about Jesus. He knew that Jesus was God's son and that Jesus was God! Stephen had given his life to Jesus and made Jesus number 1 in his life – even though others told lies about Stephen, Stephen didn't care because he had the truth. Truth is the first piece of God's armor, the part that holds everything else together. I can go no further until I have "put on"; studied, learnt, remembered and taken on board biblical knowledge; of all that Jesus has done for me!
Do you have The Truth?
What truth does God speak about you? Look at the 'Is This Truth?' sheet for 5-7s and 8-11 year olds and circle around the words that are true and the words that are not. You will find evidence of these truths in the bible. Discuss the truths together and explain why they are truth and why some of the statements are false.
For older children or youth groups you may want to show this Onetimeblind video 'Red Balloon' as a starter for discussion.
How does it feel to tell the truth?
Is telling the truth always easy? Why/why not?
Is telling the truth always the right thing to do? Why/why not?
What does it mean to have the truth in your life?
[For older kids] If you use social media, how do you use it to tell the truth? Is it easy to tell if others are telling the truth?
How has the truth of the gospel made a difference to your life?
How does it feel to know the truth?
Color the 'Belt of Truth' printable.
Create a 'Belt of Truth' belt by using the printable and different colored paper.
Encourage the children to write down on the 'Truth About Jesus' printable all the things that they know to be true about Jesus.
Write or draw a picture or letter to God thanking Him for showing you the truth.
You will need the 'What Truth is God Speaking to You? sheet.
Pray for the children and explain to them that sometimes we can get confused about what is truth and what is a lie. The world tells us lots of lies about ourselves and others – and especially about God! God wants to speak His truth to us. He does this through His word, and He can speak to us and remind us of His word today. Allow the children to sit and listen to what the Holy Spirit might be speaking over them, encouraging them to read the bible if that helps, or simply find a space where they can feel safe and free to seek God.
Father God, Thank You that You only speak truth. You do not tell lies. Thank You that You have given us the truth of Your Word and Your Son. Father God, we declare the truth that we are Your children and that You love us. We declare over our children that they are called by You and that You have and will give them strength to live for You today. Thank You for helping them to be strong and full of Your Spirit.

To Study the Function of the Retina in Glaucoma Patients Using PERG
09 Apr, 2019 ,
NIH Clinical Trials
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the performance of a new diagnostic device in the diagnosis and management of glaucoma. We will use this new device (PERG) to evaluate the function of the retina in glaucoma patients. This device is safe for patients.
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide. It's an optic neuropathy characterized by the progressive death of retinal ganglion cells.
In laboratories, it's possible to measure the electrical activity of retinal ganglion cells (RGC). Some researchers found that RGC showed electrical anomalies before dying. This decrease of electrical activity can be measured by using pattern electroretinography (PERG). Unfortunately, these measures could not be obtained in clinics before this new device.
For this reason, Diopsys developed a new device that can measure PERG directly in clinics, allowing physicians to have these data earlier to help them diagnose pathologies such as glaucoma or other ganglion cells abnormalities.
Currently, it is known that glaucoma is difficult to diagnose in the early stages and it's challenging to decide when to start treatment.
In this study, our purpose is to use this new device to evaluate its efficacy in the diagnosis and management of glaucoma.

"It is impossible to fully enjoy procrastination unless one has plenty of work to do."


ICYMI, blue is trendy again! While most celebs are sporting it as eyeshadow, you can try wearing the hue as eyeliner. It's perfect for guys and girls who are fans of low-key looks because the ~*sleek feline flick*~ will gorgeously define the peepers without overwhelming one's motd.
Just look at Maja Salvador doing her best ~*blue steel*~ pose while wearing the '80s hue on her lids.
It's chic, but not too in-your-face—making it wearable for both day and night time. The azure hue can really make your brown eyes pop, aka your peepers will look bigger and more awake. And if you still have apprehensions, just think that makeup is all about fun and play. Don't overthink and just do it!


Thanks to all our wonderful volunteers who worked so very hard on the Coffee Pot Bayou cleanup. The results are awesome. We really, really appreciate all that you did.
To help us first with the prep work, the City provided three very skilled men and two machines to remove the big trees and vines from the easement area. They did a phenomenal job and the volume removed is impressive.
Thanks to our 50+ volunteers who did a super cleanup job. Lakewood, Osceola, Northshore School, Shorecrest, Old NE, Snell Isle, St Thomas Church, Coffee Pot Drive homeowners and the Boy Scouts. The volunteers from Scout troop 219 and the Shorecrest School Science Club were heroes. The college students from Eckerd did a great job in clearing the small debris from the just cleared area. Northshore School, the honor student from Seminole HS and some local residents all worked hard. Wanda got cleaned out twice and the dumpster was a godsend for lots of little stuff. Also, thanks to KPB who provided great support with tools and shirts and food cards from Chick-Fil-A. We had a great group of volunteers. That's how the neighborhood comes together. Thank you.

Lovecká šunka je masný výrobek fermentovaný, trvanlivý a tepelně neopracovaný. Při výrobě se používá fermentace a uzení studeným kouřem. Charakteristický je svým plochým hranatým tvarem, který usnadňuje sušení.

Historie
Začátek výroby je možné zařadit na počátek 20. století, kdy se vyráběl hlavně v zimním období.
