OH good grief…do I have to do this? Ok…here goes…I have opinions, just like everybody else. I'm not famous so I don't get a microphone shoved in my face and accorded instant status as an expert because of my famousness. Thankfully the internet levels the field a bit. It allows ordinary people, those that for too long have sat silent, to have a voice. People like me. People that once believed that there were two things you never discussed in public–religion and politics. Those days of a more genteel life are over. The gloves have to come off. For too long, 40 years or so, the leftards in this country have run amok with their stupid chants, stupid signs, stupid slogans, and even dumber participants. They've been yelling for so long that their lies have become accepted truth. Well I for one know different. So do a lot of other people and we will be heard. So go on, Have a read and take a look at the other blogs listed. Good stuff out there that will inform you, entertain you, and piss you off at times. And there's lots of what is going on to get pissed about believe me.

CHICAGO (AP) Jonathan Toews loves playing alongside Patrick Kane, and the feeling is mutual.
Toews had three goals and two assists, Kane added two goals and three assists, and the Blackhawks handed the Washington Capitals their season-high fifth consecutive loss with an 8-5 victory on Sunday.
While Chicago's power play has been humming along quite nicely, the last-place Blackhawks have been struggling with their even-strength attack. Colliton mixed up his lines in response, putting Toews together with Kane - a common answer for predecessor Joel Quenneville during his 10-plus seasons in charge.
"I know what he likes and how he likes to play and vice versa," Toews said. "I think we can complement each other well. Obviously Kaner's been playing with a ton of confidence, so for me it was just go out there and make his life easier and get him the puck and get to open areas."
"Our biggest battle is that we're not complacent," said goaltender Braden Holtby, who allowed four goals on 11 shots before he was replaced by Pheonix Copley 2:30 into the second. "It's one of those things that's going to be hard, is getting over the fact last year is last year. You move on."
It was Washington's first game in Chicago since Devante Smith-Pelly heard chants of "basketball, basketball, basketball" while the black forward was sitting in the penalty box in the third period of a 7-1 loss last February. The fans were promptly ejected, and then banned from Chicago's home games.
Smith-Pelly was sent off for unsportsmanlike conduct in the second period of Sunday's loss, but he said he had no trouble with any fans.
It was Kane's 14th goal in his last 14 games. He has seven goals and 13 assists during an eight-game point streak.
"To see the caliber and level he brings and elevates in those key moments, it's really special," Kane said.
NOTES: Blackhawks D Henri Jokiharju was a healthy scratch. The 19-year-old Jokiharju has no goals and 12 assists in 36 games in his first NHL season. "We've got some young players. Eighty-two game season, it's hard to keep that level night-in and night-out," Colliton said. "So we may end up with a rotation where they're able to, it's not necessarily performance specifically why they're coming out." ... First-year Capitals coach Todd Reirden is from nearby Deerfield, about 30 miles north of Chicago. "I didn't have to get a lot of tickets. I do have a lot of passes," a smiling Reirden said before the loss.

Now that the D-Train has set a franchise record with 19 victories, the 23-year-old left-hander will seek to become the first Marlins pitcher to win 20. Barely missing his seventh complete game of the season, Willis worked 8 1/3 innings in his last start, beating the Mets, 4-2. The left-hander has won four straight starts. With 194 1/3 innings pitched, he is closing in on his first 200-inning season. He tossed 197 innings last year.
Halama will face the Marlins for the third time in his career. Halama hopes to rebound from his last start. He gave up six runs in three innings against the Phillies last Friday. With the score tied at 1, the Phillies scored five runs in the top of the third, highlighted by a grand slam by David Bell. Manager Frank Robinson said the five-run inning took the Nationals out of the ballgame.
That's yesterday's lineup, Chief, unless Rasner's stuff was so good they want to use him another day.
I'm sporting a new good luck charm tonight, my spankin' new Nats ballcap (home colors).
I'd have to say that getting out of that inning with only 1 run given up is reason to be optimistic.
And I'd have to say that facing a Dontrelle Willis on the hunt for no. 20 is reason to pessimistic.
I can't stand his ridiculous delivery.
Zim will make errors.....don't be surprised...about that.He'll hit for more then 190 imo.So far...he's lookin good.
Maybe - hopefully, rather - he feels like retiring?
The hope is rather that Frank Robinson thinks of retiring Guzman.
Damnit, our pitching is terrible tonight.
This game is making me mad, I dunno why.
I'm glad my tickets are for TOMORROW night.


Highly regarded as the most luxury watch company in the world, Swedish watch manufacturer Patek Phillippe will be releasing their first Nautilus watch fully equipped with a perpetual calendar. In laments terms, a perpetual calendar keeps an accurate track of the date no matter if the watch has been wound or if it is a leap year. This latest release from Patek Phillippe comes in a luxurious white gold with their classic blue face. Some have described the Nautilus as a "tank for the wrist" do to its masculine yet elegant face shape and its heavy-duty bracelet. Personally, I think the Nautilus is one of the best watches in the entire world. It is truly a work of art that you can wear on your wrist for a lifetime. Unfortunately for the consumer, this watch is priced as if it were art and will cost you a whopping $120,000 USD. While it is absurdly expensive, it is truly a masterpiece and is the pinnacle of luxury wristwear. For more on luxury watches check out some of our other posts here.

Husička vdovka (Dendrocygna viduata), známá také pod názvem husička vdova, je malý, hojně rozšířený vodní pták z velmi početné čeledi kachnovitých.

Dorůstá 38 - 48 cm, váží 0,5 - 0,8 kg a v rozpětí křídel může mít až 88 cm. Jedná se o zavalitou husičku s velmi krátkým ocasem, dlouhým krkem a vzhledem k velikosti těla poměrně dlouhými končetinami, kterou můžeme od dalších blízce příbuzných druhů snadno rozlišit díky charakteristickému a velmi pestrému zbarvení.

Má světle hnědý až černý hřbet, křídla a ocas, tmavé břicho, černobíle pruhované boky, šedomodré končetiny, kaštanově hnědou hruď a krk s červenavým nádechem a černou hlavu se světle zbarveným obličejem a tmavým zobákem se světlým pruhem. Obě pohlaví jsou zbarvena stejně, mladí ptáci mají mnohem méně výrazněji zbarvenou hlavu.

Husička vdovka k životu preferuje větší jezera a rybníky s hustou rostlinnou vegetací na rozsáhlém území subsaharské Afriky, Madagaskaru a Jižní Ameriky. Díky svému výraznému vzhledu je velmi častá v zoologických zahradách a parcích po celém světě (v České republice je k vidění např. v Zoologické zahradě Zlín, Dvůr Králové nebo Ostrava). Na slovensku je chována v Zoo Bratislava, Zoo Bojnice a Zoo Košice. V roce 2004 její populace činila neuvěřitelných 1 400 000 – 2 600 000 jedinců žijících na ploše velké přibližně 10 000 000 km2.

Husička vdovka je vysoce společenský druh, na nocovištích a v oblastech s hojným výskytem potravy se může pravidelně sejít až několik tisíc jedinců. Velmi často se ozývá nápadnými, hvízdavými zvuky. Je všežravá a za svou potravou se velmi často potápí. Požírá především vodní hmyz, měkkýše, semena a zelené části rostlin.

Hnízdí na zemi nebo na stromech a klade obvykle 8 - 12 vajec. V období hnízdění je husička vdovka značně agresivní a své hnízdo si brání i proti jiným zástupcům vlastního druhu. Inkubace vajec trvá zhruba 29 dní a na jejich sezení se podílejí oba rodiče.

Gold Coast , Australia
"Sandy beaches, theme parks, and lush hinterland!"
A city seemingly built entirely from a tourism perspective, Gold Coast is one of Australia's most popular destinations, with a plethora of fun activities and experiences under the sun (pun intended). Home to some of the country's best beaches, surfing and water sports are highly popular here, with several themed parks also adding to the fun for adrenaline enthusiasts. For those who shy away from adventure sports, the shopping centres, fine dining restaurants, and art galleries are some of the best experiences in the city.
From its long spread of beaches to the crazy famous theme and amusement parks, and not to forget the near pristine rainforests, Gold Coast is a truly spectacular getaway city. Experience the vibrant treetop walkways through the forests, explore the elaborate aquariums, or have a fun surf lesson because you'll find yourself doing a variety of things all day. And not just that, for the adrenaline junkie, there are many challenging activities in the forests and bushlands of the Gold Coast hinterland!
Located south of Brisbane, Gold Coast for long served as a vacation spot for people looking to get out of the big city. Over time, it has grown spectacularly and expensively (hence the name). It is a vast city with endless sources for a great time! However, it has retained its holiday spirit and has a wide range of attractions and activities that keep people coming.
Things To Do In Gold Coast
1. Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary
A unique and interactive experience with the Australian wildlife. Located in Gold Coast, the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is a haven for wildlife buffs and nature lovers. The park is a non-profit organization that has been nurturing wildlife for more than 70 years, while educating and entertaining visitors around the globe. Unlike most wildlife sanctuaries, Currumbin lets you have an interactive experience with its animals which you probably haven't had before! You can cuddle up with adorable koalas, or even feed kangaroos (yes, you can feed an animal!). The sanctuary is always buzzing with energy with live performances and shows, and even includes a tree-top challenge course for those who aren't happy with just walking around! There is also a wildlife hospital where you can see the vets work away to ensure good health of the animals, and all this while the kids can have a blast at the Wild Island play area!
2. Coolangatta Beach
Witness Gold Coast's sandy allure at Coolangatta Beach, which ranks among the most popular and adventurous beaches in the city. From surfing the perfectly-shaped ocean waves to diving among fish and dolphins, Coolangatta Beach is a hub of family entertainment and adventures. Embark on skydiving sessions, spot migratory humpback whales, swim around with your loved ones, and watch sunsets at Coolangatta Beach.
3. Deamworld
Part of the Gold Coast's impressive collection of theme parks, Dreamworld is yet another memorable experience for the family! Whether you want to get up close and personal with tigers, cuddle up with koalas, or meet you favourite Dreamworld characters, the park has it all! You'll find yourself surrounded with a buzzing atmosphere and loads of fun rides and activities. Be it an adventure with our favourites from 'Madagascar' or one with the Dragon Warrior Po, or even a fairytale game with Shrek, the fun never ends!

A brilliant, vast, and absolutely fascinating theme park, Movie World will take you into an experience of Warner Bros like never before. With tons of stalls, games, live performances, and big rides, you're sure to have a ball of a time over here. Among the many attractions at the park, the most famous is the Justice League 3D, where you join forces with the famous superheroes in a bid to save the world! Not just that, there are rides specific to superheroes too like the Arkham Asylum and the Superman Escape. The brand new Rio 4D is another fabulous attraction, and at the Junior Driving School, children of all ages can learn how to drive. And finally, absorb the best of Hollywood in the Star Parade on Main Street. Get ready for an action packed day at WB Movie World!
5. Sea World
Australia's Sea World is a true paradise for kids! Home to a variety of species of marine life like dolphins, polar bears, turtles, penguins and many more, there is more to the aquarium than just that! With exhibitions such as Half Shell, where you meet the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, or the wonderfully interactive Dora the Explorer show, and there's even the exhillerating Jet Stunt Extreme show! In short, a foolproof plan for a fun day out!
6. Tree Top Walkway
As the name suggests, the walkway, which is almost 200 metres in length, sits at a height of 15 metres above the ground and gives you a chance to view the rainforest canopies from angles you wouldn't have seen before. The flowering trees and plants, the lush orchids, and the various birds and animals make this a pure and calming experience. There are even observation decks, one of which is 30 metres high, to give you vistas of the forest to capture in your mind and cameras! The best part? It's all free.
7. Holoverse
The world's first hologram entertainment centre, Holoverse is a an absolutely fantastic outing for the family.

To avoid the long lines, book your tickets online beforehand.
8. Treetop Challenge

Spread over 6 courses, covering an area of 10 acres, you will find yourself hanging and swinging from trees, tackling risky looking bridges, and jumping on some really long flying foxes! All the equipment is provided at the venue, and is super safe with a number of qualified supervisors looking after you as you take on the countless adventures!

11. Springbrook National Park

Lady Elsie with some of the restaurant owners who are fundraising for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, representatives from Newcastle College and the event organisers.
A local restaurant is taking part in a MasterChef-style cooking competition to showcase the work of Indian restaurants in the north east.
The second series of Chef TV Reality Show will be broadcast to a national audience via Channel i Television from June 26.
And among the 20 restaurants to have signed up is Ashianna in Bedlington.
The series is also being supported by Newcastle College, which will be giving contestants a taster session of the training chefs in the industry could receive.
Mohammed Alamgir, competition organiser and Channel i Television correspondent, said: "Traditionally, chefs within local Indian restaurants have only had 'on-the-job' training.
"Newcastle College is helping by showing this year's entrants the kind of industry training that's available via local colleges and, hopefully, we'll encourage viewers to think about the options available to them.
"The Chef is a competition and we want to find the best chef from the group, but along the way we want to increase the skills of our entrants and showcase their creativity.
In the build-up to the show, the restaurants took part in a charity night in aid of the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation.
Representing the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, Lady Elsie joined Mohammed, along with Milon Miah, of Spice Island in Barnard Castle and winner of The Chef 2017, and Philip Pringle, lecturer and course leader in food and hospitality at Newcastle College, to find out more about the competition.
Regional heats of The Chef TV Reality Show begin on June 26, and the 20 initial contestants will be whittled down to ten for the televised finals, which begin in September.

So today I got busy and harvested a few jalapeno and poblanos, and was much less discriminating than normal about their size since anything on the plants will be toast in 36 hours.
The poblanos surprised me; I hadn't harvested many by the time the unusual heat of mid summer had set in and temporarily shut down pollination. The same occurred in August after a modest break but my single plant kept growing throughout thanks to the drip irrigation system. This nice specimen of a plant had quite a bit reserve production capacity by the time September's cooler weather arrived.
After a few minutes combing through the thick leaf cover it dawned on me that there was no need to avoid damaging the plants (duh) so I just cut them at the base, toppled the towers, and then cut and combed through the vines for the last harvest.
Did you cover anything? Last year was our first for a 3/4 season harvest. We don't have the cold frames up yet for the lettuce. Also have some carrots still out. We have a freeze warning tonight.
I will cover the younger greens with row cover and the two artichokes with something mor substantial but I'm letting the cold take anything else (it is all done for the year, ie the warm weather stuff).
FYI Leave the carrots alone, they can take it until the ground actually freezes. Taste better too…..
I am in awe of what you do with peppers that far north my friend…..
Next year, more poblanos, more Jalapenos, less Ghost…nice to look at but dangerous as hell; there is innuendo in there somewhere.

Why IPOB's sit-at home Order Did Not Affect President Buhari's Visit, Governor Uzodimma
Friday, September 10, 2021 at 11:12 AM by Esther Odili
Governor Hope Uzodinma has expressed satisfaction over the turnout of events during President Muhammadu Buhari's visit to the state despite IPOB's directive
According to him, the sit-at-home order by the secessionist group did not affect the president's visit as it was merely observed on social media
Uzodinma noted that the south-east leaders are pleased with Buhari's visit and have expressed their full support to the policies of his administration

The governor of Imo state, Hope Uzodimma, has said that the sit-at-home directive ordered by the Proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) had no effect on the president's visit to the state.
The Cable reported that Uzodinma said that the order was only observed on social media platforms, noting that the residents of the state were excited about the president's visit, and that they came out to welcome him.

Uzodinma stated further that the president has shown enough interest in the yearnings of the Igbo people.
Uzodinma said:
"What is important to me is that Mr President visited and you could see the excitement of the entire Igbo nation. The leadership received Mr President, commended Mr President, pledged to support Mr President's government and policies.
"We meant it. Our people came. You could see that with the sit-at-home order, which is only a social media sit-at-home order. The sit-at-home order is not in Imo state, because we never issued any sit-at-home order.''
Recall that Governor David Umahi on his social media page, welcomed President Muhammadu Buhari to Owerri, Imo state on Thursday, September 9, to commission some significant projects built by his administration.

1. NEVER tell your spouse to go home and leave you at the hospital alone after the birth. This is the biggest mistake you can make. Take advantage of his or her desire to help or you might regret it. That was my hardest day ever.
3. You are no longer in control. *follow the advice everyone gives you to "sleep when the baby sleeps". This is the best piece of advice, but the hardest to follow. Give in at the beginning because your life is no longer yours and now belongs to the baby. Your house will be messy but the baby won't care and does not want to give you a chance to clean. Don't try to be super housewife. Take-out can be pretty yummy.
4. Everyone will want to see your baby, but limit visitors as much as possible and keep visits short as this will only tire you out even more. If they want to perform a chore while they visit or bring a meal, by all means LET THEM. Again, you are no longer in control.
5. Babies poop and pee A LOT, often on you. Don't buy changing table covers because blankets work just as well and your bound to have more of them.
6. You can never have too many blankets, clothes, or birp cloths. Babies produce lots of laundry, which of course adds to the messy house theroy.
7. Babies are noisy! Not when they cry, but when they sleep. Even if he sleeps for three hours straight he can still wake you up grunting and moaning for no real reason.
8. You may think you'll never co-sleep, but when it comes right down to it, if it's no sleep or co-sleep, sleep will win out every time, even if baby is right on top of you in the prone position.
9. Cuddle as much as possible and take as many pictures as you can because they change in the blink of an eye.
10. This is the HARDEST job you will ever have, but it will be worth every second. Even watching him poop, this one craks me up!
Ok - I KNOW you have a new baby and all but I am dying for an update. :) Post when that little one lets you have 5 minutes, ok?
