Three years ago, we made the best decision in
deciding to adopt another ESS. Zoey then came to us and is the BEST dog
ever. She is not only beautiful but so well behaved and is loved by
everyone. We can't thank MAESSR and Debbie enough for giving us Zoey. Judy Minnick, NJ

When Guiness's owner had to move to a place where dogs were not allowed, he took his handsome Springer to a Maryland shelter. Since the shelter was very full, the staff contacted MAESSR to find Guiness a new home.
What a transformation Guiness has undergone since he arrived in his MAESSR foster home with very little fur on his back! He has completed treatment for an allergic reaction to flea bites and his fur has filled in beautifully. To keep him from suffering through such trauma again, the vet says he only needs to be kept on a prescription flea, tick, and mosquito repellant year-round.
The lucky family who adopts Guiness will be treated to his adorable performances every time they return home. He will greet you with an object in his mouth; it could be a shoe, a toy, or even a stray piece of paper he finds on the floor. (Don't worry -- his touch is so gentle that you'll never know he had it.) Then, he will prance all around you to let you know how excited he is to have you home! Also, he gladly gives you the prize upon request. It is a wonderful homecoming, even if you've only been gone a few minutes! In his excitement to see you again, he may have a little submissive urination, so you will want to minimize the physical attention you give him until he has settled down. Just praise him verbally without any contact for the first 30 seconds or so and enjoy the show!
Although Guiness is crate-trained and housetrained, his foster family has not needed to crate him when left alone since he has perfect house manners. He may prefer to have an open crate available that he can claim for his own, but crating is certainly not necessary with this boy.
Don't leave food within Guiness's reach, though, because it may be the empty container that he greets you with upon your return! This guy will beg for food, but he is learning that he must lie down during meals. He rarely barks-- only if a stranger comes to the door and then, he stops immediately when you tell him to. His bark is surprisingly loud and deep!
Guiness is wonderful on a leash and loves his walks. He doesn't like storms, though, even those without thunder. He thinks that the best thing to do is to hide under a bed or possibly huddle in his crate when the storm clouds gather. His foster home is located near Quantico, so when the Marines are having training exercises, Guiness stresses from the occasional bombing.
Quite the MAESSR ambassador, Guiness made many new friends, both human and canine, at a recent dog fair. He hopes that he made a good enough impression that he will be adopted by one of those lovely families or any other who will give him as much love as he will offer to them.

The best product ever!!

We moisturize our face-but forget our feet-never-especially in summer when they are on show.
I do the same before bed every night.
Best product ever!!
While living overseas I could not get my NS-8 and even though I tried everything on the market my heels were a mess. I eventually was able to buy online and have them shipped to me in Singapore and my heels recovered.
Fabulous product for dry feet.
It is not greasy and my feet improved after using this product twice daily for a week!!!!!!
I also have the tube to carry in my bag-just in case!
Give your feet a treat-nothing I have used has been as good as NS-8 Heel Balm.
I used NS-8 heel Balm for some time and my heels repaired very well, to the point that I decided to stop using it. After a few months my hells were rough and the one started to get cracks. I started using the heel balm once again and the results have been fantastic. I have not had any other brand of heel balm that works like NS-8 and I have tried several different brands. All the other brands work to a certain point, but the skin never gets smooth and still feels rough and I have had to use a pumice stone. I have found the NS-8 gets the skin on my heels almost to the smooth stage and no cracks or sign of any. I will continue to use NS-8, now that I have found a heel balm that works.

This sermon was delivered to North Korean refugees at a church in Busan.
Ephesians 2:1–10Once you were dead because of your disobedience and your many sins. You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil—the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God's anger, just like everyone else. But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God's grace that you have been saved!) For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus. So God can point to us in all future ages as examples of the incredible wealth of his grace and kindness toward us, as shown in all he has done for us who are united with Christ Jesus. God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
Brothers and sisters, I am so happy to see your faces this afternoon. And I want to thank the pastor for letting me talk with you today, and our sister for translating. My name is Simon and God has sent me from England with a message for you. God wants you to know that he hears you when you call to him. He hears you when you cry to him. He sees you when you are alone in the dark with the pain of today and the bad memories of yesterday. And he wants to set you free from all of the bad things in your life, but you have to come to him and trust him. So when I was in England he told me to come here and tell you that he is calling you to come to him and be healed. Perhaps you cannot hear him, but he is speaking to you. Perhaps you cannot see him, but I can see his tears as he looks at you.
So please listen to me as I bring you a message from God that he loves you and wants to make you completely free by making you his children.
This is a grape.
Here is a bunch of grapes. Don't they look tasty? Sweet and juicy.
Here is a dried grape. Sweet but not juicy any more.
The thing about these grapes is that they are dead. They are not alive. They are not growing.
You know why they are dead don't you. It is because they have been cut off from the source of life. They have been cut off from the grapevine and so they don't get any life. They are dead grapes. They have stopped growing. They cannot grow any more.
The Bible says we are like these grapes. We are dead. We are cut off from life.
We are shrivelling up and will turn into spiritual raisins.
We aren't dead because of what we have done. We aren't dead because of where we were born. We are dead because of our sin.
And we all have sin. We have sin when we are born. It is this sin that cut us off from life.
God is life. We are cut of from God when we are born. We stay cut off from God until we come to Jesus and ask him to accept us back. We ask Jesus to give us a relationship with God. When we have that relationship we have life from God.
If a farmer grafts a branch onto a tree, it receives life from the roots. If the branch then rejects the tree, it no longer has life. A branch has life only while it has a relationship with the tree of life. If you ask Jesus for a relationship and then you don't do anything to keep that relationship, you will lose it.
Look at this balloon. Some of you are like this balloon. It looks very nice doesn't it? But something is wrong with this balloon. A balloon should float, or at least be as light as air, but this balloon is heavy and it is a strange shape.
What should a balloon be full of? It should be full of air, shouldn't it. Or helium.
This is full of beans. It has some air too, so it doesn't look too strange at first. But it isn't a very good balloon for a party.
You are like this balloon. You are full of things that shouldn't be in you.
The beans in this balloon take up space that should be filled with air, so not enough air can get inside and they make the balloon really heavy. You aren't filled with beans, are you? Maybe a little rice and kimchi?
You should be full of the Holy Spirit, but instead you are full of sin. It isn't your fault. You aren't full of sin because you did bad things. Or because you had bad thoughts. You are full of sin because that is how you were born.
How do we have a relationship with Jesus? It is by Jesus filling us with the Holy Spirit.
But if you are already full of sin, then there isn't much room for the Holy Spirit. You have to know that you are a sinner. You are full of sin. I am a sinner as well. We are all sinners and we all fall short of the glory of God. It isn't your fault, but if you stay like this you will stay dead and you will stay full of sin. You will stay full of fear, doubt, worry, jealousy, envy, hatred, lies, deceit, treachery and other unpleasant things.
How does the balloon get rid of the beans? How can a balloon take out its own beans?
It can't. Can a balloon grow hands and open itself up and take out the beans? No. That is a silly idea. It is just as silly for you to think you can take out your own sin. Or give yourself new life be grafting yourself into the tree of life.
You can take the beans out of the balloon, and you can pump it full of air so that it is a big beautiful balloon. Jesus can take away your sins and pump you full of Holy Spirit so that you are bright and beautiful.
We all need Jesus to give us life and take away our sins. We need to start a relationship with Jesus right now and keep it going for the rest of our lives.
This is what Jesus said in John chapter 6.
"Don't be so concerned about perishable things like food. Spend your energy seeking the eternal life that the Son of Man can give you."
"This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the one he has sent."
"Yes, I am the bread of life! Your ancestors ate manna in the wilderness, but they all died. Anyone who eats the bread from heaven, however, will never die."
Jesus said clearly that the only thing you have to do is believe in him. And to do that you have to eat the bread of heaven. That means you must have a close relationship with Jesus. It means you must be filled with the Holy Spirit – not beans.

NFL preseason football is underway, and the excitement for the coming season is too much for me to bare. After an amazing 15-1 season last year, the Pittsburgh Steelers are poised yet again, to make another run for the playoffs.
Typically, as each preseason day passes, my optimism on the team's chances grows larger and larger. This year is a different story though.
Two seasons ago, the Steelers broke company policy by renegotiating the contract of then-quarterback Tommy Maddox, who at the time was comeback player of the year. As soon as that happened, Steelers wide receiver, Hines Ward spoke up about his shabby $1.6 million/year salary (way below market value for a two-time Pro-Bowler). The Steelers, operating with little cap room, asked Hines to wait for a year, and he would get his contract. Hines was displeased, but he figured that the Steelers front office would be true to their word.
Well, now's the time for the Pittsburgh Steelers to stay true to their word, and here we are, one week into camp, and no signs of Hines Ward. Ward contacted the Steelers and openly told them that he wanted to be paid based on how good he is, which means a "Top 5" salary. After the Steelers made Ward an offer that he deemed insufficient,Ward made a counter-offer, and the Steelers rejected it.
Now Ward is holding out. He's missed a full week of camp, and tension is rising. The Steelers director of football operations, Kevin Colbert, has drawn the line in the sand, and has publicly stated that as long as Ward no-shows camp, he will not get a new contract. Yet, Ward has said that he will not show until he gets a new deal. Egos are colliding and both sides are losing.
To be honest, Ward has right on his side. He is the perfect Pittsburgh Steeler. At a position that is usually played by some of the game's wimpiest players, Hines Ward shows no fear knocking down a 300 pound defensive linemen so his running back can gain an extra yard or two. Ward's play on the field has earned him the billing as the "best all-around wide receiver in the game." Hines hits and gets hit, and he does it all with that trademark grin everytime. It is for this reason that in a traditionally stingy town where the fans and the Steelers front office know what we do when players whine about more money than their worth (later dude), that fans are willing to break tradition. Steelers fans know that Hines deserves the money, and this holdout only makes fans displeased with the organization.
The other problem the holdout creates is hostility on the team. Nearly every player has openly come out in support of Hines, and if he does not get the contract he wants and the players think he deserves, you will have a lot of guys packing their bags for new teams next year. Who wants to play for a team that doesn't compensate unmatchable effort and success?
As we sit and wait for this nightmare to end, it is clear that someone needs to bend, and I think it is the job of the Steelers to bend first. Hines should be making the big bucks he deserves. He'll be happy. The team will be happy. The fans will be happy. It's a simple exchange of value for value.

Work/Life Resolution | Luke Rittner CBE, CEO, Royal Academy of Dance
Today's 'Work/Life Resolution' features Luke Rittner CBE, Chief Executive of the Royal Academy of Dance. It's a milestone year for the RAD as their 100 year anniversary approaches and they move to new state of the art headquarters in Battersea.
The Royal Academy of Dance is approaching two milestones and my professional focus will be centred on them both. 2020 marks 100 years since the Academy was founded in 1920 and we will be celebrating our past, our present and our future with an exciting and varied programme of events, both here in the UK and around the world.
2020 will also see the completion of our new purpose built international headquarters in Battersea. With state of the art studios, performance space, library, archive and offices, the new HQ will provide the Academy with a stunning new home for dance.
With 14,000 members worldwide, with operations and offices in 83 countries, with almost a quarter of a million candidates taking RAD ballet examinations each year, I am proud to lead an organisation whose mission is to promote the practice and enjoyment of dance – an art form that has universal appeal.
With so much to deal with over the next twelve months, my resolution is merely to survive!

Friday, September 27, 2019
Someone has just been diagnosed with Dementia.
Someone is starting to forget who they are, where they are, and how to do basic tasks.
The thought sounds completely terrifying and disorienting, but it's a reality for over 50 million people worldwide, with a new one joining them every three seconds.
September is World Alzheimer's Awareness Month. Alzheimer's is the most well-known form of dementia and makes up for 50-60% of its cases. According to WorldAlzMonth.org, "Dementia is a collective name for progressive brain syndromes which affect memory, thinking, behaviour and emotion. It is the leading cause of disability and dependency among the elderly, and although each person will experience it in their own way, they will eventually be unable to care for themselves and need help with all aspects of daily life.
That is where the dedicated staff at Luther Village on the Park come in, or more specifically, those involved in its 33-resident Memory Care Floor.
Added to the Sunshine Centre for assisted living close to two years ago, the Memory Care Floor is well-equipped with staff from nurses to activity coordinators, social workers to a music therapist.
Director of Resident Care Josephine Castillo oversees the staff and builds relationships with residents and their families to ensure they receive the highest level of care possible.
She takes pride in knowing that her staff go above and beyond to meet the needs of each resident in her care.
"One day I was doing my rounds and was trying to communicate with a patient I wasn't very familiar with," says Josephine. "She just stared at me and wouldn't answer my questions after I told her who I was and why I was there. A Personal Support Worker must have heard me struggling, because they popped their head in and informed me that this particular resident only responds to singing. So, I sang her my questions, and it worked!"
Josephine added that the woman's son was so grateful for the lengths the staff go to for communicating and caring for his mother, that it made his decision to bring her to Luther Village easier.
Aside from building unique relationships with residents, keeping them busy with varying activities is vital for their wholistic wellbeing. Memory Care Activities Coordinator Mandy Holmes has ten years of experience with long-term dementia care and knows her position is no small task.
Although she has only been at Lutherwood for three months, she already finds her role incredibly rewarding, saying her favourite part is when the residents start recognizing her and smiling when she enters their rooms.
"My role consists of planning the monthly Activity Calendar," says Mandy. "I try to balance my calendar to include programs of all domains including intellectual, physical, emotional, spiritual, and social."
Some of the daily programs include a worship service, "Helping Hands" where residents help with everyday tasks from folding towels to sorting socks, reminiscing groups, gentle fitness, music therapy and a new "Music and Memory" program that is particularly exciting.
"One of my most memorable moments so far here was when I provided a gentleman with his iPod for the Music and Memory program," says Mandy. "This man is from Holland and his daughter provided Dutch music to load onto it. When I turned on his music, this otherwise serious, somber man, cracked a big beautiful smile at the sound of his familiar music. This happens a lot with this program."
Personal Support Worker Supervisor Wendy Rowland agrees that contrary to the stigma, dementia doesn't always have to be 'doom and gloom'.
"There are fun times and happy times which are nice to see," says Wendy. "The objective of the PSWs is to see someone come into memory care and improve to some degree. To give them a clean living space, encourage their independence and to teach them how to accept help when they do need it."
Wendy says that is one of the struggles in memory care, having a formerly independent person need assistance with things like baths, morning routines, and other day-to-day supports that the PSWs provide. It's hard to admit that you can no longer do these things on your own.
Residents can become understandably frustrated, so the workers on the front line are all well-trained, patient and hard-working on the Memory Care Floor. "It can sometimes be a thankless job, but when the families comment on and appreciate the care we're providing their loved ones, it makes it all worthwhile."
A new method of care coming to the Memory Care Floor in the coming weeks is something called MemorySparx Connect. In an effort to keep up with changing technology and provide the highest level of service, the Sunshine Centre is bringing in this web-based tool to further aid its residents. This secure, private Facebook-type online application will allow families to share photos and videos with their loved ones in real time as well as old albums, and allow staff and patients to keep track of wellness journals, calendars, medication, and more.
The staff at the Sunshine Centre know that it's never easy to have a parent on the Memory Care Floor, and they hope this app will help them feel more connected, along with a few words of advice. Wendy says the most important things you can do are to stay informed on dementia and the individual needs of your loved one, and to not feel guilty with your decision that they need more professional help, because families can always help in their own ways.
"Loved ones have a unique advantage when it comes to caring for someone with dementia," says Mandy Holmes. "They know the 'real person' behind the disease, and all things should be approached with love. It's important for families to remember that the resident didn't choose this. All actions that we may perceive as 'aggressive' or 'bothersome' or 'repetitive' are most of the time their way of trying to communicate a problem, or that they're scared."
"Caring for people with dementia poses the unique challenge of seeing your loved one's behaviour change," says Josephine Castillo. "It's important to practice creativity, flexibility and compassion on a day to day basis. Learn and understand how to communicate with them. They are still your loved one."

Alright, alright. I was mistaken. This book is awesome.
I've shared with some friends in the past that I hated this book. I couldn't undersand the mythology. The characters (i.e., Shadow…) were boring and I only could get through 20 or so pages before giving up.
I was wrong.
American Gods was spectacular. Shadow's dull nature became quite fascinating throughout the book. His confusion between what was real and what was happening in his imagination could not have been so realistic had he been more thoughtful or boastful. There were a few parts I wished for a better background in mythology – I won't spoil it here, but if you've read it you know there is a big reveal at the end about two people who are friends – so I could have followed some of the foreshadowing a little better. Other than that, I put this book down happily knowing that my previous disdain for it was uncalled for.
Without ruining the details for those who haven't read it… my most favorite part of this novel was toward the end when Shadow and Wednesday find themselves in a diner chatting with Eoster. Her characterization – passion, love, rebirth – is so beautiful. Her misunderstanding about how people actually feel about her is so real. When she returns later, I had an "aha!" moment and laughed to myself a little.
If you read this, do so on an e-reader so you have easy access to Wiki… not knowing who the characters are can be a little confusing sometimes and having access to that resource will enhance the experience if you're not already familiar with them.

I love talk radio. Most of my radio career has been spent listening to opinions, getting viewpoints, interviewing policy makers, bureaucrats, and people with good, or not so good ideas. Sioux Falls and South Dakota are my home. I have lived here over half of my life. Original stomping grounds were Chicago, with short stints in Sioux City, Kansas City and the home of the Salukis, Carbondale, Illinois. Best job I have ever had, except this one, was being mayor of Sioux Falls from 1974 to 1984. Worst job I ever had was cleaning dormitories at SIU, in Carbondale. People can be real slobs. The way we communicate is changing, the web, facebook, twitter. KSOO radio is adapting and adding those methods to keep you informed about local news. We hope you will join and stay with us...

Nikki Giovanni Speaks On The Domination Of Black Music & The "Assassination" Of 2Pac
AllHipHop Staff
(AllHipHop News) Legendary author, activist, and college professor Nikki Giovanni stopped by Sway Calloway's Shade 45 radio show to promote her latest book Chasing Utopia. While on the program the 70-year-old poet spoke about the legacy of Black music and her 2Pac inspired "thug life" tattoo.
[ALSO READ: 50 Cent Speaks On Kanye West's Interview With Sway]
"Europeans came to America and they really remained Europeans. We are the only people that came to America and became Americans, because we had to completely recreate ourselves," stated Giovanni. "We did that mostly with song, and it's one of the reasons that we still dominate. No matter what else it is, the Black American sound dominates. Everybody wants to sound like us."
Dr. Giovanni has inspired many people associated with Hip Hop and admits the culture influences her as well. She even has Tupac Shakur's signature phrase "Thug Life" inked on her forearm to "show that the old ladies care." Giovanni puts Pac's killing on the same level as some of the murders of 1960's cultural/political figures.
"That was an assassination, and it needs to be considered with the assassination of John Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, Martin Luther King," said Giovanni. "He was assassinated to change America, because they didn't like where he was leading. Tupac was a leader."
Giovanni also expressed her criticism of Barack Obama and her praise for Queen Latifah, Beyoncé, and Jay Z. She called on people to continue to support Winnie Mandela as well.

New Electronic I94 Form – Sample, FAQ's
CBP (Customs and Border Protection) of USA have implemented new Paperless Electronic I94 form. If you enter USA after April 30, 2013, CBP officers will no longer issue paper I-94 card.
When you enter USA, CBP Officer generally attaches the I-94 to the visitor's passport and stamps the departure date on the form. Paper based I-94 forms have been replaced with paperless I-94 (electronic I-94)
What is I-94?
- The I-94 is the Arrival / Departure Record, in either paper or electronic format, issued by a CBP Officer to foreign visitors entering the USA.
- After April 30, 2013, most Arrival/Departure records will be created electronically upon arrival.
- Instead of a paper form, the visitor will be provided with an stamp in the foreign passport.
Paper I-94
Paper I-94 Card look like this image in the picture on right side. At Port of Entry CBP officer used to issue paper I-94 which will be stapled to your passport.
Now, CBP have stopped issuing paper based I-94 cards. But, I-94 would be required to verify your legal status in USA at certain places.
Foreigners in USA will be required to show I-94 when applying for Social Security Number or Drivers License. Since, physical I-94 card is no longer issued, you must take a carry a copy of electronic I-94 with you. CBP made it easy to verify take a printout of electronic I-94 from online portal.
Electronic I94 Form
Now, at port of entry, CBP officer will enter your details into electronic system, stamp your passport with entry date which will include the port name. No, paper I-94 or printout out of electronic I-94 will be given to you at the port of entry.
Here is a sample copy of electronic I94 form print out.
- After you enter USA, you should go to the I94 application site and print a copy of electronic I-94.
- Please see this video demonstration to see how you can can print it out using your computer.
- Quick Reference Guide
FAQ's – I94
Following questions have been copy pasted from FAQ's section of new Electronic i-94 which will be useful for HSB readers.
If information on the I-94 is in error, how does the traveler correct mistakes?
The electronic version of the I-94 will help eliminate errors because the information will be obtained by official documents and officer input. If there is an error or mistake on the paper or electronic form I-94, the traveler can contact the Deferred Inspection office closest to their location.
CBP offices are located within the airports are near the airports. You can call and schedule appointment to fix the errors in paperless I-94.
How will the new I-94 automation impact international travelers' entry to the U.S.?
I-94 automation will not impact a traveler's ability to enter the U.S. CBP will continue to create an I-94 record for all travelers who require one, but the paper form will be created in an electronic format and not provided to the traveler. If a traveler requires a paper version of Form I-94, it will be available at www.cbp.gov/I94
Will CBP provide a traveler with any documentation or evidence showing status and time allowed in the U.S.?
Yes. CBP will provide each traveler with an admission stamp that is annotated with date of admission, class of admission and admitted until date.
Will travelers need to do anything differently when exiting the U.S.? How can they be sure their departure will be recorded properly with this new the I-94 automation process?
Travelers will not need to do anything differently upon exiting the U.S. Travelers issued a paper Form I-94 should surrender it to the commercial carrier or CBP upon departure. The departure will be recorded electronically with manifest information provided by the carrier or by CBP. If travelers did not receive a paper Form I-94 and the record was created electronically, CBP will record their departure using manifest information obtained from the carrier.
My Thoughts
- Print a copy of the electronic I94 card and staple it to your passport
- You are not required to surrender the print out when you depart USA
- Use the print out while applying for SSN, Drivers License or filling out form I-9 with new employer.
CBP implemented electronic i-94 within last 4 weeks. Still many travelers are not aware of this change. Pass this article to your friends, post in FB groups and share with your friends community.

Hi HSB,
I have a doubt. I got admit in Wayne state Univ, Michigan for Masters in Mechanical Engineering. I got my visa approved too.
The thing am worried about is.. Detroit has to be my destination but i want to reach Chicago first, stay there for few days with my far distant relatives and later travel lo Detroit. But some people said that i would face a problem at the POE bcoz i wont be able to produce any proof about any connecting flight.
So what do i do? Is that ok if i travel to Chicago and say that i want to visit my far distant relatives or Should i travel to Detroit first and later travel to Chicago?
please do help me sort out this problem… 🙂
Thanks In advance..
Its not an issue,Just say that you gonna visit your family/friends for couple of days.I landed in Tampa (FL) first while my employer was based in Chicago (IL),I just told that I am gonna visit my friends for couple of days.
And if they ask for proof for connecting flight,you can say that your friends or family will be booking tickets for you.So dont think this much for POE.
Just have all the documents ready with you and be ready for regular questions.
Hi raghu,
i have made entry in to US (POE: Chicago) on 05/22/2013.
now staying in Fargo(NDSU).during entry my passport was not stamped at POE (they stamped only on CBP form and the officer retained it), am unable to retrieve my I94 no now.
what should i do now.
Find the nearest CBP office and talk to them. You may have to take your boarding pass and other documents with you.
Let me know what happens.

Previously I wrote here about my excitement about being a Fresh Meat roller derby girl. Then I wrote here a month ago about how I want to quit. Guess what?
I'm Quitting
I have suspected anterior Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome. I say "suspected" because my ortho dr. doesn't think I should bother with the very invasive testing because the only real treatment for it is surgery. He says it's not like I'm 16 and this is going to affect my career as an athlete. That I'm middle-aged (oh really? ::scowl::) and it'd be better that I modify my activity to exercises that don't cause my symptoms. He recommends swimming. Good thing I like to swim!
The thing is he couldn't seem to tell me what may have caused these symptoms. Though, of course, I know but wanted the doctor to tell me so I can feel more assured. I want to tell myself that I'm not quitting because I'm a quitter. That I'm quitting because biologically I can't do it. Of course that's the truth but it still seems like a lame excuse.
I had no trouble skating before derby (I could skate for several hours) and now I can only skate for 10 minutes before my legs stop working, they turn to jello and I trip over myself. Same with jogging now. I jog for more than 30 seconds and I feel intense burning. The pain I can get through but then my leg becomes temporarily paralyzed and I get foot drop and I even have trouble walking (I've tripped and fallen when not going very slowly).
I've been working with a physical therapist for a month and she thinks the front lower leg muscles that I built up when doing derby have gotten bigger and that anatomically there isn't enough room in my fascia for the muscles during exercises that use my lower leg. Fortunately the PT has worked so that I can take less time recovering after 30 seconds of jogging. However, I'm still very frustrated with this as I used to be able to run 5ks.
I am so bummed about this.
Time to move onto something else. I hope to spend more time blogging here. Thanks for reading, friends.

Seeing as I've filed an extension for my already extended tax deadline, which reminded me of how I carried my tax returns around Italy last year in order to send them WITHOUT the extension, it would seem that an entire 12 months has passed since last year's summer vacay.
June, 2016
A week before school gets out we pack up the kids and board a plane. I imagine everything went smoothly. *cough cough* Destination: Italy, more specifically Tuscany, even more specifically Ciciana. Our kind and gracious hosts were Ivar and Lil Torunn, who organized everything so we could celebrate Torunn's 60th birthday. The concept that my kids saw the Leaning Tower of Pisa and learned to say 'gelato' before hitting their first decade of life was a total trip for my Midwestern brain. Who are we, royals?
Anyway, we did lots of fun things on that trip, but a vacation isn't a vacation unless someone ends up in the emergency room. In childrens bedtime story form, I give you:
Emil and the Snake
Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Emil. Actually, his name was Emilian Birk, but his mom called him Emil and his brother called him Mimi and his dad called him Emilian. The little boy was very clever, however, and answered to all of these names, plus a couple more.
Emil had a big brother, whose favorite thing was to be buried in books, and a little brother, whose favorite thing was bouncing off walls. Emil's favorite thing — indeed, his calming, happy place — was to sit in the sun, overturning stones and examining the creatures that lived underneath. He found ladybugs and ants, beetles of all sizes, centipedes, spiders, worms; anything the moved in the grass or through the soil, Emil would see it, catch it, and delight in it. In the early years the insects where markedly less delighted than their captor and weren't always released unscathed. The learning curve was… not flat.
One day Emil and his family drove to the airport and boarded a plane for Italy! It turned out to be a magical place with the most delicious ice cream, and the most delicious pasta, and — most importantly — a myriad of bugs and butterflies and other many legged friends that Emil had never seen before.
The hummingbird moth, for example, and rhinoceros beetles. But the most exciting of all were the lizards. They sunned themselves on the stone walls and swished into the grass or flashed into the cracks the second they heard Emil or his family walk by.
If you knew Emil, you'd know he is a determined and patient little boy. So when he decided that he wanted to catch a lizard, he set out to do just that. He crept quietly around the grounds of the house, inspecting the walls and watching where those lightning fast lizards darted off to.
After several days of tracking, one afternoon Emil came running to his mom excitedly whispering, "Mama! I found a lizard and I saw where it went! It's still there and I can catch it! Do you want to see?" Of course his mom wanted to see! She's deathly afraid of things with eight or more legs, but lizards only have four so it was totally okay. Emil ran ahead to the corner of a low stone wall. There was a small hole underneath, with large loose rock partially covering the opening. He was too excited to wait for his mom (she was walking quite slowly anyway) and plunged his little hand into hole.
"Ow!!! ow!!!" shouted little Emil, and jumped back several feet. "It bit me!" Two fat tears of shock and surprise rolled down his crestfallen little face. "What?" said his mom, "What kind of lizard BITES?" By now the rest of the family had gathered around. There are many nurses in Emil's family, and just as many brave dads. Sure enough, there were two small scrapes on his fourth finger on the right. The nurses rinsed and washed and bandaged, and the dads went to examine what this creature was that would bite a little boy.
That creature, it turned out, had a tail like a lizard but no legs at all. Coiled up in his hiding hole was a very frightened snake. Our courageous little hero had tried to wrangle a snake!
Snakes, as you know, are mostly harmless little guys just trying to get by, but there are a few that are poisonous. Who knows about poisonous snakes in Italy? Google. Google knows. Some of the grown ups googled, and some of the grown ups decided to try to catch this snake so they could see if it was dangerous or not.
Emil's dad was also very brave (perhaps that's where Emil gets it from?) and took a barbecue tongs and reached right into that little snake cave and pulled that little snake out. Except it wasn't a little snake. It was a very long, very grown up snake. A rather frightened snake that did NOT want to be contained in a bucket. But the bucket had a lid, so the snake had no choice.
But back to Emil and his bitten finger.
What do you do when a Norwegian boy is bitten by an Italian snake? Google told the moms and dads and grandparents about a couple of poisonous (though rare) snakes that live in Tuscany. A grown up called the lady who owns the house and told her the story, and that kind lady (who is also a mom to little curious little boys) decided to call the hospital and talk to a doctor. And the hospital decided that they should take a look at Emil's finger, and the best way for him to get to hospital without getting lost was to pick him up in an ambulance. (!)
By now Emil's two fat tears had dried up, and his finger was still exactly the same size and color it was before being hit with snake teeth, so his mom and the other nurses were pretty sure he was going to be okay. The ambulance came anyway, and they heard the siren for at least 5 minutes as it drove up the swithcback road to get to the house on the top of the hill.
The ambulance team was very nice, and wanted to see the snake. The snake tried to get out of its trash can prison when the lid was lifted, which surprised/totally freaked out the ambulance driver who then whacked its head off with a stick.
Definitely the most traumatic moment of the entire ordeal, and moms and dads danced around questions of 'what happened to the snake? Is it okay?' for the rest of the night.
Our little hero and his dad ride down the hill in the ambulance, watch football in an Italian hospital, and arrive back to the house on the hill later that evening. While they were gone and the other two brothers were sleeping or playing, Emil's mom sat by the swimming pool completely alone in peace and quiet for the first time since they arrived in Italy. She didn't wish at all that her little boy had to have such a crazy afternoon… but all's well that ends well…and poolside quiet time is never undervalued.
The end.

Roast Chicken
Sometimes it's nice to go back to the basics. Roast chicken is one of the simplest one pan meals you can make and is great for meal planning and left-overs.
I ALWAYS make lots of extra veggies and roast a bigger chicken than I need. You can have a complete second dinner or use the left-over chicken to make chicken salad or chicken sandwiches for work or school the next day. The chicken and veggies are delicious over a bed of lettuce. You will have lots of choices!
This is a perfect family meal!
1 5-6-pound chicken (any size is fine)
Himalayan salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 Bunch thyme
1 Lemon halved
1 Head garlic, cut in half crosswise
1 TBS Butter, melted
1 – 2 Cups chicken stock
4 Carrots, sliced (I usually use a large full bag of baby carrots)
1 – 2 Red onions, cut into 3/4″ pieces
1 – 2 Sweet or white baking potato, cut into 1″ pieces
Preheat Oven to 425 degrees
Remove the chicken giblets
Rinse chicken inside and pat dry
Remove any excess fat
Using a large baking dish, put carrots, onions and potatoes in an even layer on the bottom of the pan
If you have a roasting rack place in pan and put chicken on rack. If not, don't go buy one, it will be fine!
Stuff the cavity with the bunch of thyme, both halves of the lemon and all the garlic
Brush the outside of the chicken with butter
Sprinkle with salt and pepper
Add a portion of the chicken stock to moisten the vegetables
Bake for 25 minutes and add more stock, pour on chicken and keep the veggies moist.
Repeat every 25 minutes
Cooking time about 1 1/2 hours, using a meat thermometer, 165 degrees internal temperature
Slice Chicken and serve with veggies

Dog drywalls.Dog walks into a bar and orders a beer. Bartender says "holy shit, a talking dog! What are you doing in my little neighborhood?"
Dog says "I'm a drywaller, I'm working on the house across the street."
Bartender says "The circus is in town, you should go work for them you'd make a fortune!"

A woman decides to go on a photo safari in Africa, taking her faithful aged poodle named Cuddles, along for the company.
One day the poodle starts chasing butterflies and before long, Cuddles discovers that he's lost . Wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.
The old poodle thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in trouble now!" Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard is about to leap the old poodle exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more around here?"
Hearing this, the young leopard halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees.
"Whew!", says the leopard, "That was close! That old poodle nearly had me!"
Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the leopard. So off he goes, but the old poodle sees him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figures that something must be up. The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard.
The young leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here, monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine!
Now, the old poodle sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back and thinks, "What am I going to do now?", but instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old poodle says:
"Where's that damn monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another leopard!
"Alexa, slaughter the fatted calf."
"Alexa, slaughter the fatted calf."

Having learned nothing from the triple Academy Award winning "documentary" of 1993, scientists from Harvard, Yale and several other universities have been manipulating chicken embryos into growing dinosaur faces.
Published in the journal Evolution, the paper, titled "A molecular mechanism for the origin of a key evolutionary innovation, the bird beak and palate, revealed by an integrative approach to major transitions in vertebrate history" explains how the boffins manipulated the very building-blocks of life to create the abhorrent beasts.
The work reportedly took researchers from alligator nests in southern Louisiana, to an emu farm in Massachusetts, where they extracted the DNA of various species in order to clone fragments of genetic material to look for specific gene expressions.
"Our goal here was to understand the molecular underpinnings of an important evolutionary transition, not to create a 'dino-chicken' simply for the sake of it," said Yale paleontologist and developmental biologist Bhart-Anjan S. Bhullar, lead author of the study.
"The beak is a crucial part of the avian feeding apparatus, and is the component of the avian skeleton that has perhaps diversified most extensively and most radically — consider flamingos, parrots, hawks, pelicans, and hummingbirds, among others," Bhullar explained. "Yet little work has been done on what exactly a beak is, anatomically, and how it got that way either evolutionarily or developmentally."
A Yale University press release describes the science behind the boffins' mad plans:
Using small-molecule inhibitors to eliminate the activity of the proteins produced by the bird-specific, median signaling zone in chicken embryos, the researchers were able to induce the ancestral molecular activity and the ancestral anatomy. Not only did the beak structure revert, but the process also caused the palatine bone on the roof of the mouth to go back to its ancestral state.
The novel molecular manipulation Bhullar utilised may be used to investigate the underlying developmental mechanisms of a number of evolutionary transformations. Bhullar has stated how if a single molecular mechanism was responsible for this transformation, there should be a corresponding, linked transformation in the fossil record. Finding such a transformation would be a major scientific event.
The Register has contacted the researchers for information about whether any of the embryos were eventually hatched, and if so if it is possible to purchase a dino-chicken. We will update this article if we receive a response. ®

Christmas Gifts to get your beloved hunting or fishing partner
What to get that special someone who loves to hunt and fish
For those that have the passion for the great outdoors what to get us for the holidays is a list that could fill a months worth of blogs. The list would range from the common items such as outer wear, ammo, lures and line to the more specific "I want an official Red Ryder, carbine action, two-hundred shot range model air rifle!" for a little Christmas story refresher quote. To the outdoors man/woman it should be easy to walk through the store and find something we would love to have in our bag or inventory.
Hunting and Fishing Social Network App Getting an Update for Iphone
Iphone App Issues Noticed by one of our Members
We at Shotem and Caughtem have never been known for our timing. As a matter of fact if you want to go skunked for awhile both fishing and hunting just launch a social network and app based on it and we can show you that your luck will change for the worst. So when we decided to launch the ShotemCaughtem app last Oct. it was no surprise that Apple Would launch a new phone with a new operating system that would not allow certain functions to work appropriately on the new Iphones. Luckily for us Android users we had a member point out the flaws a couple of weeks ago. Lucky for those of you that might have been frustrated by this we are young, you have our apologies and we have our app developers making the necessary updates and will alert you as soon as the new version is up and ready for download.
Other Member Concerns and Questions About Competing Hunting and Fishing Blogs
We want to Change Social Media Websites and Apps
We think there are some great ways to change the way a social media company works. We want to reward our members and supporters for helping us grow our network. Not us them to line just our own pockets. Think of it this way when has Facebook or Twitter ever cut you a check or given you free stuff for posting and being a part of their site? We hope you help us grow and promise that this will benefit us both in the future when we create the number one place to go if you hunt and fish.
Happy St. Patricks Day from Shotem and Caughtem
Most of all we hope you get out and show your green pride Shotem and Caughtem Style!
Hunting Controversy Continues to Warrant a Need for a Hunting and Angling Social Network
Hunting and Fishing News
We at Shotem and Caughtem are constantly scouring the internet looking for news about the industry so we can pass it on to our members and followers. Without your support we will not grow and hopefully one day be known as the place to go to see what is happening around the world when it comes to hunting and fishing. A great place to share photos, videos and experiences from the great outdoors. However, once again the news seems to be targeting our passions. Matthew McConaughey recently had to take a step back from a ranch owned by him and his brother due to hunting controversy. Kid Rock and Ted Nugent made it into the news with a hunting picture posted by the rock stars.
A Safe Place to post Hunting/Angling Photos and Videos
The old saying "If you don't like what is on change the channel!" The digital age has created some interesting ways to bully and sometimes no way to get away from something you don't want to see. Twitter has introduced a new way to spread viral discussions by posting things that have high retweet or favorites to other peoples twitter streams that have no affiliation to the original person who posted the information. As a matter of fact this type of practice is what many think has allowed ISIS to spread their message and grow their support.
More Targeted Social Networks
We feel that as the world wide web evolves more niche social networks will become the norm. Those of us that have a passion for hunting and fishing do not want to see information about the next best weight loss pill. We want to see the latest gear, best hunting and fishing tactics and converse with those that have the same outdoor adventures. That is why we continue to ask for your help in growing our network. We think we have provided our members with a great platform to share their adventures and knowledge to other like minded people. However, we need more. More of your friends, family and other cool kids to get on board and share. We understand that facebook, instagram and twitter have the numbers but they did not start out that way. As the smaller networks like ours begin to grow the site will begin to snowball.
We hope you come share as much as you can so that we can start to attract more and more and become the social network you choose because the people here just know two things and know it well. Hunting and Fishing!
Controversy Surrounding Predator Hunting Season for Wolves and Coyotes
Newsweek Article regarding Controversial Idaho Wolf Hunt
We at Shotem and Caughtem recently read an article concerning the recent Hunting Derby in Idaho for wolves by Newsweek. In the article they showed that for the second straight year no wolves were harvested from the 30 day long hunt. Though the ended up killing 20 coyotes during the month long derby, many hunters and wildlife and parks officials eluded to the fact that weather conditions might have hindered the hunts success.
Our Trophy Deer Hunting Season this Year in Kansas
That got us to thinking about our luck when it came to weather during our trophy hunting deer season. As many hunters know Mother Nature can work with us or against us when it comes to our hunting seasons. This year as was the case for the Idaho wolf hunters she worked against us. The lunar phase at the more critical part of the season was in full cycle. We found most of our deer were running during the night. The fact that we had unseasonably warm weather for December also did not help matters. Most of the large deer as a matter of fact were taken during muzzle loader and bow hunters due to the fact that they had more time and better lunar cycles.
That's Why they call it Hunting not Shooting
As we have discussed many times before many of those who are against hunting and fishing do not realize how many time we go to the field or on the water with nothing to show for it but a cleared head. There are so many factors that can work in our favor and so many that can work against us that it can sometimes be frustrating for those who have no comprehension of what gets us outdoors time and time again. Just this past weekend I came home from sitting in the rain listening to goose hunters on the property just over from me having a blast as I sat frustrated knowing if it was quiet at would have deer all around me. My wife said "why do you even go, most of the time you don't come home with what your after." I just smiled as I do much of the time when people find out I started a hunting and fishing site and point their noses north.
It is the hunt. Whether fish or big game the outdoors brings a sense of peace. An appreciation for the outdoors is what will take me back into the field this weekend yet again to try and get my freezer full of deer meat. Watching the geese and ducks talk over head as they headed to the next field was breathe taking. What glorious animals we get the opportunity to witness. What power. The sound of the rain hitting the creek and trees around me. A complete state of peace. No cell phone, computer, appointments etc. Just the sounds of nature. Bliss!
That is why we created this site. Was to share our experiences with others who appreciate the great outdoors. We hope you continue to share your stories as you once again help us grow. Here is to a great 2015! And thanks for all who have joined and shared with us in these first two years.
Looking back on 2014: The Hunting and Fishing Social Network
Year 2 of our Social Network Creation
We at Shotem and Caughtem can not thank all of our members enough for their support. It has been yet another great year for us at and we are looking forward to what the next year will bring. Just a few stats to help you know you are a part of something much bigger. Continuing support and driving friends and family to the site will only help us grow and in turn give us the means to give back to you not only as individuals but as a group. We have big plans to change the way social networking works and we can only hope you give us the opportunity to create something new and different.
Other Social Networks turning their backs on the Hunting and Fishing Community
All of us who hunt and fish know that we are involved in an industry that shares it's involvement in controversy. As proof Facebook has already shown its stance against those who hunt and fish so we can only imagine that the others will begin to follow suit as they become bigger. Though twitter has not seem to head that direction as more and more technology companies combine this will only become more of an issue. That is why we feel our site is so important.
A Year of Expansion
We at Shotem and Caughtem made some bold moves based on our members this year. We moved to our own private server to increase speed and try to eliminate hick ups. We have had good responses with how much nicer the platform has been since the change. Faster upload speeds and surfing has been the overall response. We also released our app towards the end of this year. It has given our members more flexibility to keep posting and seeing what's happening on the website day to day.
Finding Partnerships
Our New Years resolution is to find strategic partners and members. So far this site is the creation, upkeep and monetary cost of just one person. A person that wants to change the face of social networks in a lifestyle to which plays a large part in his life. Hunting and fishing has been a huge part of my life. It is a lifestyle I wear and share with pride. Recently I read an article that spoke about the fact that we as individuals must begin to create a larger voice to help in changing the status quo. I hope you join us in creating such a voice and tell others about us. We are always looking for new and creative ways to help find partnerships with individuals, companies and groups to help not only expand their market share but also their own aspirations.
Midwest Turkey Hunting Last Weekend
We at Shotem and Caughtem ventured out again last weekend hoping the warmer and colder weather might have broken up the turkey allowing us to call them in this weekend. As you can see from the lack of photos we were again unsuccessful. Though our buddy seemed to be in the right place last weekend, we again this weekend witnessed that many of the toms and jakes were still henned up. Due to this reason we were not able to break them away from each other and lure them into our decoys. We are planning to make another trip out soon and hope that the warmer forecast will increase our odds of a successful hunt. Let us know if your still in turkey season what patterns you have witnessed in the comment section below. As always brag about your accomplishments in the Shotem Wall. We hope that some of us soon will be able to play the my beard is longer game!
Oklahoma Signs Aerial Feral Hog Hunting into Law
We at Shotem and Caughtem reported on the possible bill a couple of months ago. Now it is official. Oklahoma landowners can now take to the skies to hunt feral wild pigs and coyotes. Let us know your thoughts on the subject in the comment section below or post photos of your hunt to the Shotem gallery.
Fallin signed the bill Wednesday that's intended to help landowners control growing populations of wild hogs that have become a problem in many rural parts of the state. The wild animals are known to tear up cropland, destroy fences and spread diseases.
State law already allows the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture to authorize people with a big-game commercial hunting area license to hunt wild hogs and other depredating animals— like coyotes — from aircraft. The bill signed by Fallin expands the law to include landowners and those hired by landowners.
Florida Python Hunt Ends with a Release
We at Shotem and Caughtem just heard this news and had to report on it. Not sure why they would think this would work but let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.
A new prize in the Florida Python Challenge has been announced and everybody wins.
The two men who caught the giant Burmese Python collected a $1,000 prize. The giant snake was released back into the Everglades And Florida wildlife experts expect the python -- outfitted with a pair of transmitters -- to show them where to find the thousands of snakes hiding in the wild and lead them breeding females.
Two other pythons were also implanted with transmitters and sent back into the wild.
"It's breeding time and females attract males and we have three eager young lads sitting out there with radio transmitters on them who can lead us to the breeding female and we can catch her," Frank Mazzotti, professor of wildlife at the University of Florida who helped organize the challenge, told ABC News.
The Florida Python Challenge ended on this weekend with the round up of a mere 68 snakes. Officials held the snake hunt because the pythons have multiplied into the thousands in the Everglades and have become a threat to native species.

Charles000:Regs: yet for all the supposed technological superiority, ATI still have a poor record when it comes to blu-ray and h.264 decoding...perhaps we will need to run two gpu's - one for gaming and a seperate one for videoI don't have any problems with my 5770. In fact, I'm very happy with it. I just got it in December 09, having used nvidia since 1999!
I have to agree with this. I have a HD5770 and it does a great job with Freeview HD and blu ray. I think AMD historically have lagged behind nVidia on this front, and I do think that generally speaking nVidias drivers have been more reliable, but AMD really have got their act together in recent times -I hope it stays that way.
I also think that while this generation hands-down belongs to AMD, I'm sure nVidia will bounce back with Fermi2, or at least I hope they do, based on the assumption that they actually learn from their mistakes
