The company is recognised in Switzerland and abroad for its expertise in the fields of microengineering and micromechanics. Mimotec plc was founded in November 1998, following the doctoral thesis work of its CEO, Dr Hubert Lorenz. Since then it has been striving for excellence. Through constant innovation and with the permanent acquisition of new competences, the company continues its development in all fields related to microfabrication.
Mimotec manufactures its components using the UV-LIGA method, inspired by microelectronic technologies. Many patents protect the technological advances made by the company. More than 2500 articles are produced each year ranging from the micro-watchpiece to the plastic injection micro-mould and finally to the anti-counterfeiting solutions (CLR-LIGA). The UV-LIGA technique combines the processes of photolithography and electroforming. This additive manufacturing method combines lower production costs and rapid implementation, which makes it difficult for traditional material removal processes to compete with. Using UV-LIGA, a large variety of shapes can be formed at a level of detail that the classic production cannot achieve. Ideal for rapid prototyping and serial production, this technique allows to attain micrometric precision as well as unmatched surface quality.


We are here in beautiful Washington, D.C. visiting our daughter, and what a time to be in our nation's capital! Each time we have driven by the Arlington Cemetery, we are reminded of the sacrifices many men and women have made for us. It is truly humbling.
Always remember this day and every day. We are free to be who we are because of them.
Paul, you are not kidding! When we visited the cemeteries in both my husband's and my hometowns, it was so wonderful to see that the Boy Scouts and Veterans had put up flags on all of the gravestones of those who served our country to insure all of our freedoms.
I am in the process of writing a chapter in an upcoming text about the experience of women veterans who are (re)entering the classroom. Always reminds me of my dad, who like many other vets, post WWII, came home with a new skill and/or re-entered training for a new profession. There are so many now . . .
Jane, good luck with the text's chapter. It sounds like an important chapter in the book.
From a Veteran of Dessert Storm and Shield that did not get deployed but stayed here in the states , and her father, a WWII Okinawa Purple Heart, and Grandfather in the WWI army, We all say, You're welcome.
I'm glad that I served in the capacity (even though not front line) that I did. So again, I was happy to serve and make a contribution to others that served before me. I have a Navy Seal and 4 other cousins on both sides of the family as well as Uncles that served in the Marines (WWII) and Naval Reserves (same) and Great Uncles in the Civil War at Gettysburg (North).
I only say this because I think that most families in this country have one or more service men and women in this and other generations that have made their contributions and sacrifices as well. We've all given one way or another, whether serving or having family and friends that served. That is what has made this country great.
Best wishes to you all for your selves and families for this day and what it means to you.
Rob, well put! And, thank you to you AND all of your loved ones!
I want to thank you for this blogsite. I love it and it is so fun to read what others are reading and get more ideas to take to my library for my lists. I also want to add an author that i've recently discovered in the line of Laura Bradford-Amish mysteries by Isabelle Alan. Quilting mysteries are fun for me to read and other authors that write about crafts. Maggie Sefton is a favorite, Monica Ferris and Avery Aames to mention just a few that I've read and love. I accidentally stumbled upon your site and have been here happily ever since.
Happy Memorial Day holiday for you and family.
Rob, I'm glad you found the site and am happy you're enjoying it!
I live in Beaufort County SC proud home to USMCR Parris Island , MCAS Beaufort , a US Naval Hospital as well as a National Cemetery . I can hear the Marines when they are on the rifle range as well as jets flying overhead on any given day from my home. There is a sign at the entrance to the Air Station that says " The Sound you hear is the sound of Freedom. " I am so grateful for all who have served /serve.
Denise, that is such a neat sign! So true!!!

Elizabeth "Betty" Brant è un personaggio dei fumetti creato da Stan Lee (testi) e Steve Ditko (disegni), pubblicato dalla Marvel Comics. Apparsa per la prima volta in The Amazing Spider-Man (vol. 1) n. 4 (settembre 1963).

È stata un importante comprimario dell'Uomo Ragno nei primi tempi nonché primo amore di Peter Parker, è poi uscita di scena per un lungo periodo per poi rientrare con un carattere molto più risoluto che in precedenza.

Biografia del personaggio
Betty Brant nasce a Filadelfia, in Pennsylvania. Sua madre era stata in origine la "Ragazza del venerdì" dell'editore J. Jonah Jameson del Daily Bugle, e Betty abbandona la scuola per diventare segretaria di Jameson al Daily Bugle. È il primo vero amore di Peter Parker, che la incontra quando diventa un fotografo freelance per il Bugle. Dopo essere stati attaccati dall'Avvoltoio, Peter, già attratto da Betty, rimane colpito quando lei si oppone a Jameson per aver pubblicato articoli diffamatori contro Spider-Man. I due iniziano a frequentarsi poco dopo, quando Betty è toccata dalla gentilezza di Parker nel prendersi cura di sua zia May malata.

Il suo lavoro di segretaria al Bugle, comunque, nasconde segreti: Betty, infatti, lavora per aiutare suo fratello Bennett a ripagare i suoi debiti di gioco, che aveva acquisito cercando di pagare le spese mediche della madre. Bennett era diventato amico dell'allora fidanzato di Betty, Gordon Savinski, coinvolto in molte attività illegali, e Bennett alla fine contrasse un debito di gioco che non poteva ripagare a un gangster di nome Blackie Gaxton. Quando i teppisti di Blackie erano venuti a cercare Bennett a casa, la madre di Betty venne scagliata violentemente contro un tavolino da caffè, provocando danni permanenti al cervello.

Con l'aiuto del Dottor Octopus, Blackie Gaxton rapisce sia Bennett che Betty come assicurazione contro chiunque gli impedisse di lasciare il paese. Bennett viene tradito quando Glaxton rifiuta di condonargli i suoi debiti e viene colpito a morte durante una lotta tra la banda di Glaxton, Dottor Octopus e Spider-Man. All'inizio, Betty incolpa Spider-Man per la morte di suo fratello e gli dice che non avrebbe mai voluto vederlo di nuovo, anche se in seguito si rende conto di essersi sbagliata e che aveva solo cercato di aiutare. La fiorente storia d'amore tra Betty e Peter viene, poi, interrotta, quando Betty teme che Peter tenga di più alla sua compagna di classe Liz Allan, il che porta alla fine della loro relazione.

Ned Leeds
Poco dopo la rottura con Peter,  Betty inizia a frequentare il collega giornalista del Daily Bugle, Ned Leeds. Anche se presto parte per l'Europa, i due restano in contatto, scrivendosi regolarmente lettere. per ricominciare la frequentazione al suo ritorno, e Leeds alla fine si propone a Betty: nonostante i segni che Betty ami ancora Peter, quest'ultimo si impegna ad allontanarla per il suo bene e Betty accetta la proposta di matrimonio di Leeds.

Dopo il loro fidanzamento, J. Jonah Jameson organizza una festa nel suo attico, cui segue il loro matrimonio, anche se non tutto fila liscio, perché un criminale in costume di nome Mirage decide di derubare tutti gli ospiti dei migliori matrimoni di quel giorno, finendo per essere catturato da Spider-Man, mentre, infine, Betty e Ned convolano a nozze con Mary Jane Watson come damigella d'onore di Betty.

Subito dopo il loro matrimonio, Jameson manda sia Betty che Ned a Parigi, in Francia, per una luna di miele di lavoro pagata; tuttavia, Betty inizia a notare un cambiamento in Ned, totalmente preso dal lavoro e, mentre Ned si occupa di un'insurrezione a Cipro, torna a New York tra le braccia consolanti di Peter.

Dopo aver scoperto la scomparsa di Betty, Ned torna a New York e affronta Peter, colpendolo con un pugno e intimandogli di non vedere mai più Betty. Peter risponde che non vuole più vedere nessuno dei due e che si era finti interessato a Betty solo per far ingelosire Mary Jane, nella speranza che questo avrebbe portato Ned e Betty di nuovo insieme.

Dopo questi eventi, il criminale Mangiapeccati perseguita Betty per mandarla a morte, ma lei sfugge al suo tentativo di omicidio.

Il giornalismo investigativo di Ned, intanto, mette a dura prova il matrimonio dei Leeds: infatti, seguendo le piste sul misterioso nuovo criminale di nome Hobgoblin, Leeds viene catturato e ipnotizzato per indurlo a pensare che fosse lui Hobgoblin. Durante questo periodo, Betty si rivolge al suo amico Flash Thompson, ma anche lui viene incastrato dal vero Hobgoblin e nel frattempo Betty vede Ned vestito da Hobgoblin che minaccia Flash. La sua mente, già fragile, viene spinta oltre il limite.

Nel frattempo, un mercenario di nome Jason Macendale chiede allo Straniero informazioni su chi sia Hobgoblin e gli viene fatto il nome di Leeds. Quando Ned segue una storia di spionaggio a Berlino, sotto ipnosi si traveste da Hobgoblin e viene assassinato dagli uomini dello Straniero: Macendale dopo aver pensato che l'Hobgoblin originale fosse morto, in seguito avrebbe adottato l'identità dell'Hobgoblin per se stesso.

Betty soffre di un completo tracollo  dopo la notizia della morte di Ned da parte dello Straniero, e crede che fosse ancora vivo: in questo, un giovane reclutatore del Culto dell'Amore riesce a persuaderla a unirsi alla loro setta, capeggiata da un leader chiamato Insegnante,  che si rivela un truffatore, come intuito da Flash e Spider-Man, che salvano Betty, anche se lei perde tutto ciò che possedeva e deve stabilirsi a casa di  Flash.

Durante questo, gli eventi demoniaci di Inferno sono accaduti, travolgendo gran parte di New York City. Betty e Flash sono stati attaccati da duplicati demoniaci di Spider-Man e Ned. Betty ha superato le barriere fisiche e psicologiche ed è riuscita a distruggere i mostri.

Dopo questi tempi difficili, è tornata a lavorare al Daily Bugle come segretaria sotto l'editore della città Kate Cushing. Un cambiamento in Betty si è verificato quando è diventata una giornalista investigativa che ha rintracciato con successo lo Straniero e i suoi assassini e ha scoperto la vera identità dell'Hobgoblin che alla fine le ha tranquillizzato la mente. Ora è diventata uno dei migliori giornalisti investigativi al Bugle.

Scadenza
In Scadenza, durante la sua permanenza al Bugle, è diventata amica di Kat Farrell e l'ha spinta ad affrontare il caso del giudice Hart per ottenere un lavoro migliore al Bugle. Teneva una chiave di riserva per l'appartamento di Kat nella sua scrivania, che il collega giornalista Paul Swanson ha usato per irrompere nell'appartamento di Kat nel tentativo di spaventarla fuori dal caso.

Un nuovo giorno
Nella trama di Un nuovo giorno, Betty è diventata una giornalista sotto Dexter Bennett dopo che l'infarto di Jameson ha costretto sua moglie a vendergli il Daily Bugle, e lei è diventata l'unica del vecchio circolo a rimanere a lavorare al Bugle. Mentre Dexter stava cercando di eludere Betty e renderla di nuovo la sua "Ragazza del venerdì", Peter lascia intendere una falsa relazione familiare tra Betty e l'attore deceduto Marlon Brando, rafforzando la sua posizione agli occhi di Bennett come giornalista di gossip.

Di recente, ha festeggiato il suo compleanno e ha chiesto a Peter di organizzare una cena con i suoi amici, ma a causa del suo lavoro al nuovo Daily Bugle, nessuno ha voglia di fare amicizia con lei. In effetti, solo Peter si è presentato al suo compleanno, perché era l'unico dei suoi amici che non era arrabbiato con lei. Inizialmente, Betty era furiosa con Peter, accusandolo con rabbia di averle rovinato la notte finché lui non le dicesse la verità. È triste, ma lui la rassicura che presto tutti la perdoneranno. Betty si rende conto che Peter è davvero il suo migliore amico.

Dopo la distruzione del Bugle, ha continuato a creare un blog di giornalismo di successo; è stata vista per l'ultima volta dopo essere tornata insieme a Flash.

Altri media

Televisione
 Il personaggio compare anche nella serie animata The Spectacular Spider-Man.

Cinema

Trilogia di Sam Raimi
Betty Brant appare come un personaggio minore della trilogia di Spider-Man diretta da Sam Raimi, interpretata dall'attrice statunitense Elizabeth Banks. Come membro dello staff del Daily Bugle e segretaria di J. Jonah Jameson, di solito viene vista passare messaggi a Jameson o ricevere ordini del tribunale da lui. Anche se non esce mai con Peter Parker, mostra una sottile attrazione per lui nei primi due film. Banks ha dichiarato di aver fatto la prima audizione per il ruolo di Mary Jane Watson prima di assumere il ruolo di Betty Brant. Ha anche ammesso che le basi del suo ruolo come relazione del personaggio immaginario tra lei e Parker sono molto più vicine alla storia d'amore d'ufficio che i due condividevano nei fumetti.

Marvel Cinematic Universe
 Il personaggio ha debuttato nel Marvel Cinematic Universe in Spider-Man: Homecoming, interpretato da Angourie Rice. Questa versione del personaggio, in termini di aspetto, ha una somiglianza con Gwen Stacy, che ha lunghi capelli biondi e spesso indossa una fascia per capelli nera. Nel film, frequenta la stessa scuola di Peter ed è la migliore amica di Liz. Conduce il notiziario della scuola insieme a Jason Ionello, e, dopo che quest'ultimo la invita al ballo, gli rivela di aver già accettato un invito. Alla fine del film, abbraccia Liz quando sta per partire e in una scena eliminata interroga Ned Leeds sull'identità di Spider-Man.
 Anche se non appare in Avengers: Infinity War e in Avengers: Endgame, è stato confermato che il personaggio è stato vittima dello schiocco di Thanos, ma in seguito torna in vita grazie ad Hulk.
 Betty ritorna in Spider-Man: Far from Home. All'inizio del film, conduce nuovamente notiziario scolastico dove viene mostrato un tributo agli eroi deceduti. Durante il viaggio con la scuola, conosce meglio Ned e i due diventano una coppia. Verso la fine del film, si lasciano e decidono di rimanere amici.
 Betty ritorna nel film Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021).

The Modern View of Kundalini is a ground-breaking book about Kundalini and its relationship to psychological vitality and spiritual transformation. Through author Darrel Irving`s own experience, Joseph Campbell`s documentation of kundalini, and the case histories of Gopi Krishna and others, readers learn that kundalini is more than a spiritual concept, a religious illusion, or a New Age fantasy. Kundalini is real. It is a subtle energy at the base of the spine that when unleashed becomes a powerful force leading to altered and higher states of consciousness. Kundalini is a curative process if approached with knowledge and understanding, for kundalini is healing-it is the mechanism of evolution contained in the human body. The potential for the kundalini experience exists in every person on the planet. This book shatters myths and corrects common misinformation about kundalini and how it works. In these pages, living makes a provocative case for a strong connection between madness and the kundalini process gone awry. The author compares ancient allegorical representations to present-day view points on kundalini and presents a compelling argument for the serious investigation of the kundalini phenomenon. Serpent of Fire makes it abundantly clear that the experience of kundalini is not just a special dispensation granted by fate or destiny to a select, privileged group. Nor is it the preserve of a few gurus or self-appointed holy men. Kundalini is the birthright of everyone, and kundalini-activated individuals are the hope and promise of the new millennium.

Q: MySQL: How to return empty record when all fields are NULL? Situation 1:
SELECT SUM(mark) AS totalMark, userID, credit
FROM users, marks
WHERE marks.receiverID = users.userID
AND userID = '2'

It will return
totalMark   userID  credit
---------------------------
0           2       0.0

And it is very good, no problem. But here is the situation 2:
SELECT SUM(mark) AS totalMark, userID, credit
FROM users, marks
WHERE marks.receiverID = users.userID
AND userID = '-1'

Result:
totalMark   userID  credit
---------------------------
NULL        NULL    NULL

But what I want is return nothing (no record found). Anyone could help me?

A: When you use an aggregate function like SUM(), the query is bound to return a row.  But since it's summing no values, the result of the sum is undefined.
You could work around this in the following way:
SELECT * FROM (
    SELECT SUM(mark) AS totalMark, userID, credit
    FROM users, marks
    WHERE marks.receiverID = users.userID
    AND userID = '-1'
) t
WHERE t.totalMark IS NOT NULL;


This is a fun, arcadelike car-racing game suitable for players of all ages. And if you're a fan of any or all Volkswagen vehicles, from the Karmann Ghia to the new Beetle, it's even more entertaining. Beetle Buggin' has vivid 3-D graphics and a groovy, sixties-style soundtrack to go along with the five different driving events, which include a traditional race, a race on sand, and a dirt-track race. You get to choose from three game-play modes: Quick Race, Championship, and Beetle Challenge. The game also features multiplayer support.

Grumman XF9F-2 "Panther"
Navy Fighter
The 2nd pre-production F9F-2 in flight
Specification for F9F-2
Engine: 1x Pratt & Whitney J42 (Rolls-Royce "Nene")centrifugal turbojet making 5,750 lb of thrust
Wing Span: 38'
Length: 37' 53/8''
Height: 11' 4''
Weight: Empty 9,303 lb / Loaded 19,494 lb
Maximum Speed: 575 mph
Ceiling: 44,600'
Range: 1353 miles
Armament: 4x 20-mm cannon & 2,000 lb of bombs / 8x rockets on underwing hard points.
The Grumman Aircraft Company was some what late in the design and construction of a jet powered aircraft, this was due to the high priority work on the conventional powered XF8F "Bearcat" for the US Navy, however a number of design studies were done from June 1943 onwards,the most interesting of which was a development of the "Hellcat" fitted with a turbojet engine in the tail, however none of these ideas came to any thing.
In September 1945 Grumman responded to a US Navy request for a two-seat radar equipped jet powered night fighter. The Grumman proposal was the G-75, looking very much like the F7F "Tigercat" and powered by 4x Westinghouse 24C-4B axial-flow turbojet engines mounted side by side in pairs under the wings, on the 11/4/1946 a contract was issued for two prototypes and given the designation of XF9F-1. But by late 1946 further studies had shown the G-75 would not meet the specification laded down by the Navy and the contract was all but canceled.
In the mean time Grumman had been working on a new design for a single seat fighter/bomber the G-79, some how Grumman generated enough interest with the US Navy, that the contract for the XF9F-1 was amended on the 9/10/1946 to allow for the construction of 3x prototypes, 1x static airframe and a design study into a swept-wing version of the aircraft, which would end up as the F9F-6 "Cougar".
A number of deferent engine layouts were proposed for the "Panther", such as 2x Westinghouse J-34 Axial-flow turbojets or 2x Rolls-Royce "Derwent" centrifugal engines mounted in the wing roots and exhausting under the rear of the fuselage, also under consideration a single Rolls-Royce "Nean" or Allison J-33 centrifugal turbojet engine, fitted in the fuselage and fed by two intakes ether side of the wing root. In the end the Navy specified the Rolls-Royce "Nean" to be built in the USA by Pratt & Whitney under license as the J-42.
By the time the mockup was ready in early 1947 a number of changes had been made, such as the moving of the cockpit back wards and the exhaust being extended to the rear. The first prototype which was not fitted with any armament or ejector seat, started ground testing in October 1947, with the first flight being on the 21/11/1947 by test pilot Corwin.H.Meyer.
A production "Panther" off the Korean coast in the 1950's
During the flight trials it was found that the aircraft snaked at all speeds and was unstable longitudinally, also one of the test aircraft's tail section was ripped off when attempting an arrested landing, however once these problems were seen to, the F9F-2 "Panther" would prove to be a very sturdy aircraft indeed.
The first production F9F-2 flew in August 1949, the only changes being the fitting of armament, a British Martin-Baker ejector seat and external wingtip fuel tanks (standard from the 13th production aircraft onward). It was first delivered to VF-51 at NAS San Diego on May 8, 1949, however because of initially-slow deliveries of the J-42 the aircraft were fitted with the Allison J-33 and designated as the F9F-3. The "Panther" was to remain in service until the mid-1960's.

New Brighton Recreation Commission
The New Brighton Area Recreation Commission (NBARC), Beaver County's first and only regional recreation commission was formed on December 1, 2002. The purpose for creating the commission was a regional effort to prevent the duplication of service and to maximize cost effectiveness by supporting and sponsoring recreational events and facilities on a regional level. The New Brighton Recreation Commission consists of the New Brighton Area School District, the Boroughs of New Brighton and Fallston and the Townships of Daugherty and Pulaski.
The NBARC organizes numerous events annually, including several 5k run/walks, a triathlon, bus trips, and family movie nights. Visit their website below for more information.

Stop by the cemetery office to pick up a copy of the tour pamphlet and experience the beauty and history of the over 150 year old Grove Cemetery on download a digital version of the walking tour pamphlet.
Underground Railroad Walking Tour
Beaver County, and New Brighton in particular, played a major part in the Underground Railroad thanks, in part, to the Ohio River, which serviced as a natural pathway for slaves from the south on their way to freedom in Canada. Many of the New Brighton founding families were Quakers and ardent abolitionists. They offered their homes as sanctuaries to fugitive slaves and cared for them until it was safe for them to continue their journey north. New Brighton became a hub of the Underground Railroad movement, and is one of few towns in the country that has 6 designated historic safehouses, as well as a church affiliated with this movement, still in existence. A walking tour of sites in New Brighton has been developed by the New Brighton Historical Society to educate future generations on this pivotal piece of history in New Brighton. The tour has been used by local organizations and school field trips. The National Park Service's "Network to Freedom Trail" is planning to add this walking tour to their list of historical sites to visit. The self-guided walking tour pamphlet is available at the New Brighton Borough Municipal Building and online.
The Sunrise Pool
The Sunrise Pool, within a few minutes' drive from most New Brighton homes, is one of the most popular spots during the hot summers. The Sunrise Pool is the County's only public swimming pool that is open year round. During the summer months the pool is an open air facility. In the off season the pool is housed in a climate controlled dome. The facilities are available for birthday parties and rentals for both individuals and organizations.

I am a suicide attempt survivor and because of that I will never be the same again. On February 17, 2018 I should have died. On that day I should have closed my eyes for the last time. On that day I should have taken my last breath.
more than I can comprehend.
I am beyond blessed to be alive. I am thankful every morning. I am thankful every second of every day. I can now experience the beauty of living more deeply and beautifully than I ever have before.
To live every day as if it had been stolen from death, that is how I would like to live.
Right now a beautiful acoustic song plays in the background as I type on my computer and sit on a soft black leather couch in a coffee shop with my oldest daughter. I am beyond full of a peaceful contentment, joy and thankfulness for this day understanding how close I was to never experiencing ANYTHING on earth again.
I was too close to becoming NOTHING on earth. I was so close that my children almost did not have their mother on earth ever again. I'm assuming my oldest daughter is enjoying this moment with me at the coffee shop, as well. She most likely is not enjoying it as much as I am, but she was the one that invited me. She almost did not have a mother to invite. How awful that would have been. That is a lot to take in. It is an indescribable feeling that there are no words to convey the true meaning to the fullest extent of my emotions.
It is bittersweet in the fact that I know I am so blessed to be alive and I appreciate that and then the thoughts of suicide flood my mind with an overwhelming heartbreak of what suicide really is and is capable of. Suicide and suicidal thoughts are like a disease in and of itself. It could and should almost become its own illness separate of anything else. It is more than a symptom. Suicide and the thoughts that endure and destroy behind the monster it is take on a life of their own. Suicidal thoughts that lead up to suicide and/or suicide attempts are an apocalypse within a mental illness life and world of its own.
My daughter Alexia winning grand champions at a Show Choir competition. I missed it as I was still in the hospital at the time, but at least I was alive to share her joy with her and tell her congratulations.
Seeing my daughter perform at two more Show Choir competitions.
Being there to see my daughter Kylie and son in-love Dennis move into their new house on April 12, 2018.
Going to my children's dance recitals. My oldest daughter Kylie, son Keagan and son in-love Dennis are dance teachers and choreographers. I love to watch dance and especially dances they are in and/or choreograph.
Going to church with my children.
Going to my daughter Alexia's last show choir performance, and choir and band concerts as a senior in High Schoool.
Going to Alexia's convocation ceremony to see her receive three scholarship awards.
Attending my daughter Alexia's High School graduation.
Bringing Alexia to the University of Minnesota to attend her college orientation and participating in the parent orientation. If God didn't save my life, my Alexia would not have had a parent to attend her orientation with her.
Going to my nephew's wedding with my five children.
Moving into my oldest daughter Kylie and son-love Dennis' house. I needed to move because I couldn't afford the house I was living in anymore and I am now on a waiting list for a townhouse to open up.
Having wonderful heart to heart talks with Alexia. We had some of our best talks.
Taking my daughter Alexia to the University of Minnesota to move into the dorms as a college freshman.
Being there for my daughter Alexia when she called from college. She needed me, her mom. I love that.
Starting my new job at an alternative school for special needs students. I get to teach and work with special needs children and young adults again. I get paid to give love. God is soooo… goooood.
Having a wonderful time living with Kylie and Dennis.
Going to the coffee house with my daughter Kylie, today.
I continue to feel better every day and I continue to appreciate the beauty of living and just being ALIVE. When life gets tough, I try to remember how I was almost not here. Nothing can be worse than that and nothing feels worse than I felt at that moment in my life. I thank God for saving my life, every day.
I am not saying I am completely symptom free and that my life is super easy because it isn't. I still have to cope with occasional anxiety, but nothing like it was when I was still on Klonopin. I have PTSD and have been triggered by PTSD symptoms lately. I am dealing with that and will be starting therapy shortly to help tackle it. I occasionally still have some minor rapid cycling and mixed bipolar episodes. However, my symptoms are nothing compared to how severe and debilitating they were before and at the time of my suicide attempt.
I have finally learned how to cope with my symptoms better and I look for the beauty in life and find it easier to find now. I do this and can do this now because I was so close to not having a life to live due to my suicide attempt. I am beyond blessed to be alive.
Today. Right now. This is a good day and moment. I try to appreciate them and hold on to them when they happen. I live one moment at a time and enjoy it because I never know what tomorrow will bring. None of us do.
Life is a blessing and a gift. Handle it with care. Life is fragile, but don't be afraid to live your life. Take some chances. Don't be afraid to fall because sometimes you have to fall first before you can F.L.Y. (first love yourself), thrive and soar.
Do you know Jesus? He saved my life.
I am glad you are still here to share this on my son's blog. God Bless You.
Wow. God has powerful reasons for us to live. This post is so amazing dear one. Grace and peace.
Wonderful post. Thank God you are here!
I'm happy you are still here to share your story.
Spellbinding and heartwrenching and touching reading. Thank you. Wishing you all the best!
This is so empowering and just a lovely post. I am so glad you are still here alive to write this you are amazing!
You are welcome,,,, would you mind checking my blog too….
I peaked at your blog. It is a very good one and done very well. I especially liked the posts about healthy food. I definitely need to learn more about that. Thank you for reading and sharing your blog with me.
You are always welcome and if you need any information on any specific topic you let me know.
As a survivor myself, I still-almost daily-have those insidious thoughts in the back of my mind, but I keep going. I'm glad you do too.
Thank you for writing this. I'm feeling how you described feeling before and I'm struggling to find reason to believe my life could be any different. I'm trying but it's the most taxing thing I've ever been through. It's nice to read something like this from somebody who has been there. I started blogging maybe three weeks ago just as a way to vent because I felt like I had no one to talk to who wouldn't look at me weird if I said how much I longed to not deal with things. Since starting writing again and then reading other blogs, it's helped more than I expected. Maybe I'll make a list of things I want in life that I could miss if I do it and read it to myself when I am at my worst.
Thank you. I have tried reaching out and maybe I just have too high of expectations because it always feels like people are tired of it, they have simple solutions and are annoyed when I say I have tried them, or they are weirded out. I have my ex of seven years and my current partner as well but they both their own things going on and I don't know, it's really lonely and isolating to think that the only people interested in really being connected to you are your college sweetheart and your current boyfriend who, kind of has to or at least should, be invested in helping you work through it. They are both amazing but I don't know. I feel isolated which is odd because I have never tried harder to reach out to people in my life and every time I do, it just feels like I'm putting my hand on a hot stove again to see if its cool, knowing the heat is going to burn me anyways.
I just started blogging a little over a month ago so it's nice to here after two years that it has really helped you. It has helped me to a degree but I still feel pretty isolated in that too. I comment on other people's blogs and tweets and things but I struggle to engage them, even when it is about things that could benefit them, like this People Like You thing I'm trying to do (long story). I have some awesome followers already that I am really, really lucky to have. They do comment from time to time but I don't know, I guess I am feeling really disconnected from people in my physical environment, even when I think I'm trying but somehow falling short, and I also feel the same way online and just in everything, as if I'm lost and confused in a subway and trying to ask people for directions but everybody is in such a rush that almost nobody looks at me. I know that's dramatic and that your response is an example of why my feelings aren't rational.
Also, I can really appreciate that it took you a while. Honestly, it takes me more time to comment back on things like this because when people say things that are kind or something I kind of crawl back into my shell. I would love to stay connected.
I think I might write a list. I have been thinking about it so far. I will let you know if I do :).
Yikes. I am very sorry I took so long to comment. I am so sorry. This is not how I want to do this. Thank you for reading and for sharing yourself with me. I am very sorry you are having a hard time right now. I pray things will get easier for you in the near future. You should never feel like you are a burden to others. It is okay to not be okay and your friends should understand this. I am sure they want to help you. But to be able to help you they need to know how and what you need. Please never be afraid to reach out to others. We are all supposed to be there for others and support each other, especially your boyfriend. It took me a long time to get followers and to feel connected on my blog. It is a slow process but you will get there. Please realize dear that whatever you are feeling is the correct way to feel. Ity is all okay. Your perspective is your perspective. There is no other right way to feel other than the way you feel. Please try not to dismiss your own feelings They are yours and yours only. Everyone is different and there is beauty in our differences. There is beauty in YOU. DIfferences need to be celebrated at all times. Blogging has been extremely therapeutic for me but it took awhile to notice how therapeutic it has been for me. It took me a while to figure out what to do on my blog and how to do it. I am not that great of a writer. I just have a story to tell so I have been trying to learn how to write. You are a great writer. Keep up the great work on your blog and you will see the positive difference and impact you are making in other's lives. I think one of the greatest ways my blog is therapeutic for me was and is that I learned I am/was also helping other people. When we help others, essentially we are helping ourselves and that is beautiful. Did you make a list yet? Was it helpful to write it?
Ugh *hear. That is my pent peeve. It's one in the morning and I wrote it correctly initially then for some reason changed it. I'm sorry for the long message. I just got a bit carried away and appreciate you reaching out to my comment.
Oh my gosh, pet peeve. I need to go to bed before I write anything else like that.
No worries at all. It sometimes makes me feel better when others make typos becase I due it ALL the time. LOL (I purposely made typos this time but I really do make a lot of typos) Be well.
I am happy you are still here! Your blog is a wonderful gem to the mental health community.


The International Center of Spiritual and Ancestral Wisdom (ICSAW) is an organization that is dedicated to preserving ancients' wisdoms and traditions of indigenous cultures throughout the world.
For thousands of years, indigenous groups have made extensive use of the materials contained in the rainforest to meet their health needs.
Forest dwellers in Southeast Asia, for example, use around 6,500 different plants to treat their ills. Shamans were the first medical specialists in indigenous communities, and their traditional methods are known to be effective in treating both physical and psychological ailments.
The World Health Organization estimates that 80 percent of the people in developing countries still rely on traditional medicine for their primary health care needs. Without money, access to, or faith in modern facilities, indigenous people depend on shamans, herbal healers, and rainforest plants for their survival. Shamans also play a crucial role in helping scientists to discover the potentials of plants.
As one scientist has said, "Each time a medicine man dies, it is as if a library has been burned down. There is much yet to be learned from local shamans, yet their individual and cultural survival is seriously threatened as modern loggers, miners, multinational corporations, and landless farmers invade and decimate the forest.
Tropical forest plants serve as vital resources for the eradication of disease, but we could easily lose these plants as well as the traditional knowledge that can unlock their potential if tropical ecosystems and indigenous cultures are not preserved intact. The future health and welfare of humanity will be determined, to a great extent, by the fate of the rainforests.
There are no easy answers to the social and environmental crises facing the rainforest today. But one important step towards saving the rainforest is to increase public recognition of the importance of rainforest medicines in our modern pharmacopoeia and the importance of preserving the primary habitats of these flora. You can do your part by educating yourself and others about the rainforests and the forces that are destroying them.


We're excited to let you know that snack sized baby kiwi berries are now available at Morrisons - with a 150g punnet costing just £1.
Grown in Herefordshire, the kiwi berries are the size of 1p coin and can be eaten whole without peeling.
Kiwi Berries (Actinidia arguta) were originally native to Japan, Korea, Northern China and the far east of Russia. They were first discovered by European botanists in 1843, but in recent times have been widely grown in New Zealand and Chile.
The Kiwi Berries – also known as the Northern Kiwi - look and taste like normal Kiwi fruit, but they have smooth and edible skins. The berries are high in nutrients, containing more Vitamin C and Beta-carotene than the regular Kiwi.
They are also high in fibre and low in calories, which makes them ideal for school and work lunchboxes or snacks.

EA Sports and FIFA are getting a divorce
Earlier this week, video game publisher and developer EA announced it will stop making games alongside world football governing body FIFA from 2023, after failing to agree a fee for the licensing of international teams and tournaments such as the World Cup.
EA Sports has released an annual FIFA-branded game since 1993 and there will be one final release - FIFA 23 - on sale this Autumn as usual. FIFA may keep the name but EA Sports will keep the game. In announcing their divorce EA confirmed that they will be starting the "EA Sports FC" brand under which its future games will be released.
The question that popped into the minds of every eSports gamer after hearing the news: will EA still be able to use real club & player information?
EA Sports: it's in the game
FIFA games have been elevated by the authenticity it offered. Being able to use the real names for players, clubs and competitions elevated the FIFA series above the likes of Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer games where gamers used to play with teams such as Merseyside Red (instead of Liverpool) or Man Red (instead of Manchester United).
EA said that they will continue to offer real-world experiences having signed up 19,000 athletes, 700 teams, 100 stadiums and over 30 leagues for future games. This includes the UK's Premier League, Spain's La Liga, Germany's Bundesliga as well as UEFA competitions and South America's CONMEBOL federation. These entities are still controllable because of separate licensing deals brokered with clubs and leagues.
Nevertheless the move is a gamble for EA, whose fortunes have been closely tied with FIFA for the last 30 years. "It's a big moment for the organization," David Jackson, vice president at EA Sports, said. "Interactive football experiences have been central to what has made EA Sports successful over the last 30 years."
"Change is always going to be concerning for people at first," said David Jackson. "In terms of things that they'll miss, players will notice only two things: The name and a World Cup piece of content every four years. Outside of that, very little will change about the things they know, and love about current FIFA products."
Has FIFA scored an own-goal?
In playing hardball with its naming rights, FIFA is also taking a massive gamble that the proposed FIFA branded alternative to EA's games will be any good. Gianni Infantino, the President of FIFA, said in a statement: "I can assure you the only authentic, real game that has the FIFA name will be the best one available for gamers and football fans. The constant is the FIFA name and it will remain forever and remain the best."
But competition in the soccer market is hard.
Japanese company Konami discovered this last year with the troubled release of its eFootball game hyped to be the next generation of the Pro-Evo Soccer series. Konami had the expertise and yet still its game fared poorly on release. So what can FIFA bring to the party that Konami cannot?
One option would be to partner with an established eSports publisher, somebody like "2K" which produces the NBA and PGA Tour games. But even a company with their expertise and history would struggle to build the data, coding and quality assurance in time for a 2024 release.
Nevertheless, while it is fair to be skeptical of FIFA's foresight, gamers can hope that this will inject some fire into EA Sports as for too long the company has rested on their laurels with respect to their yearly cash cow. It is about time that EA was encouraged to get more inventive with their soccer content; this big moment is an opportunity to restructure the FIFA franchise to the forefront of the eSports revolution.

Utah conversion therapy bill's substitute is counterproductive
Hannah Markov, Photography EditorApril 5, 2019Leave a Comment
HB399 has passed Utah's House committee. There are currently 15 states and DC with laws banning conversion therapy.

Recently, a Utah bill banning conversion therapy for minors passed the state's House committee. If made law, HB399 will make Utah the 16th state in the U.S. to prohibit the controversial practice of attempting to change one's sexual orientation or gender identity. Similar to that of other states, the bill states that it wouldn't apply to religious counselors. While it may not be ideal, this language contributed to earning support from the highly influential Latter Day Saints (LDS) Church, which now condemns the abusive practices done in conversion therapy. However, HB399's path to becoming a law abruptly ended when several lawmakers introduced a substitute bill.
The alterations significantly changed the original bill in a number of ways. They weakened the ban by taking away any mention of gender identity, therefore no longer providing protection to transgender youth and also narrowed down the official definition of conversion therapy to exclude most forms of talk therapy, ensuring that at least one form of conversion therapy would still be permitted. This ruins the point of the bill, although Utah governor Gary Herbert doesn't seem to think so, since his support switched from the original bill to the new one.
In recent years, suicide has become a leading cause of death in Utah teens, with LGBTQ youth being at a greater risk than others due to the glaring homophobia of Utah society, and in particular, the Mormon church. In an effort to prevent more suicides, Herbert created the Teen Suicide Prevention Task Force, comprised of members from Equality Utah, the LDS church and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, among other experts. Many on the task force went into HB-399's hearing with hopes of ending all forms of conversion therapy and protecting all LGBTQ youth. But with the proposed substitute bill, it doesn't seem like any of that will be happening.
Let's be clear- conversion therapy is horrible and has been scientifically proven to be ineffective. It's been denounced by many major health organizations and studies have found it to cause seriously negative impacts in the mental health of those subjected to it. With all of this information, the main argument behind the useless and inefficient substitute bill is that the lawmakers are worried about the free speech rights of therapists when meeting with their clients. However, when therapists criticize their clients' sexual orientation or gender identity, they're basically putting the client through talk therapy, which is a form of conversion therapy, even though it doesn't cause the "physical discomfort" mentioned in the bill.
After Herbert voiced his support of the substitute bill, Equality Utah's executive director Troy Williams and America Foundation for Suicide Prevention's area director Taryn Hiatt both resigned from the Teen Suicide Prevention Task Force. In his resignation letter to the Governor, Williams stated that Herbert broke his promise of protecting LGBTQ youth.
"Yesterday, Governor, you turned your back on LGBTQ youth and the medical and mental health establishment. By endorsing Rep. Lisonbee's hostile substitute, you effectively cast your lot with a band of discredited and dangerous conversion therapists, who are still practicing techniques that harm youth — some lethally", Williams said. "I will not be window dressing to provide the Task Force cover. If you change your mind and wish to seriously engage the LGBTQ community, you know where to find me."
Conversion therapy needs to be abolished. It is immoral, wrong and severely detrimental to "patients'" mental health. Utah politicians need to take their homophobic beliefs and put them aside, even for a moment, to protect LGBTQ youth and their invaluable lives.

How Other Countries Handle Doctor And Hospital Negligence
Posted on November 25, 2019 by Regan Zambri Long
Medical negligence is an international reality, but it looks considerably different from one country to the next. Certain types of negligence, for example, are more prevalent in some regions than others. When such behavior leads to legal action, malpractice claims may be handled differently based on local legislation. A thorough understanding of these disparities is critical not only when traveling, but also in understanding medical malpractice at home — and how targeted changes could produce better outcomes in hospitals and in court.
Medical Malpractice's Link to Health Care Quality
The World Health Organization regards the prevalence of medical malpractice litigation as a noteworthy indicator of health care quality around the world — especially for countries in which reliable health reporting remains limited. In China, for example, increased malpractice litigation underscores the "deterioration in the general relationship between patients and providers."
Judges Versus Juries
In Europe, medical malpractice cases are typically handled by judges. Payouts tend to be smaller than in the United States but are also more likely, as negligence doesn't necessarily play a central role. Freed from the burden of proving negligence, affected patients may find it easier to secure compensation when the link between medical procedures and ensuing suffering is less than obvious.
Civil Versus Criminal Penalties
In many countries, negligence is commonly treated as a criminal act — especially if it leads to the serious injury or death of a patient. In Russia, for example, a malpractice case hit headlines when a hematologist received a two-year prison sentence for medical negligence. In 2017, the country's Investigative Committee initiated 1,800 criminal cases. In other countries, such matters would be handled by medical expert panels or in civil court.
Did medical negligence cause you or a loved one physical or emotional pain? There's no need to suffer in silence. The medical malpractice attorneys at Regan Zambri Long PLLC can help you deliver justice and secure the damages you deserve.

Iraq's civil resistance to Obama: end the occupation
From the Iraq Freedom Congress (IFC), Nov. 6:
A letter to Mr. Barack Obama on his election as President of the United States of America
On behalf of the Iraq Freedom Congress, I would like to congratulate you on your success as President-Elect of the United States of America and say that we hope this can be the start of a new phase of U.S. policy toward the world, and Iraq in particular.
Your election to this position by the American people means a defeat for the neoconservatives and their inhuman policy towards the world… a pre-emptive strike policy that resulted in nothing but destruction and strengthening of terrorism, because of which the entire world has become less safe.
We need to remember that we experienced the agenda of the Democratic Party, and tasted the bitterness of their policy in Iraq during the rule of Bill Clinton in the last century, who insisted on extending the unjust economic blockade several times in the UN Security Council, and viciously bombed and killed civilians, where children were the most affected. We will also never forget what he did in Kosovo, Rwanda, and how extremely difficult the dreams of forming an independent Palestinian state has become. In other words, we do not see the difference between the agenda of Bush senior, his son's Republican policy and the Democratic administration of Bill Clinton.
But we hope to find a change in the administration's policy under your command, because you descended from a family who is experienced and familiar with the oppression and injustice, there can be reasons for the world to sympathize with your cause. With respect to Iraq, your objection to the war and occupation is highly spoken of and gives us hopes in ending the long-lasting cycle of war and terrorism in this wounded country.
The way to end the tragedy of Iraqis, putting an end to nearly six years of killing and displacement of millions, is to end the occupation and support a secular non-ethnic government, a government that defines people on the basis of human identity.
Finally, you have raised the slogan "we need change" in the election campaign; this prompts us to see that you will review the policy of the previous administration and take a courageous decision to end the occupation, which was one of the key factors in the growing hatred towards America around the world. The decision to end the occupation and the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq is the "change" the U.S. needs to rectify its image.

Iraq Freedom Congress position on Rwanda, Kosova
Asked to clarify the IFC's position on the US role via-a-vis Rwanda and Kosova, the organization's North American representative Amjad Al-Jawhary writes via e-mail:
We strongly believe that [Bill Clinton] intentionally ignored killing of hundreds of thousands of lives in Rwanda because he did not find the US interest in that region, on the other hand he destroyed the entire infrastructure not only in Kosovo but in Serbia and Montenegro such as bridges, power stations, hospitals and so on. Because of which thousands of innocents lost their lives just as it happened in the Gulf war in Iraq at the time of Bush senior. These are war crimes that these administrations will be held accountable.
the US can do no good…
… while France keeps getting away with mass murder.
At least they're not blaming the US for supporting Kagame and for letting the genocide happen.

Monday Down South: Taking stock of every SEC team's trajectory as the 2022 season yields to 2023
Matt Hinton | 2 months ago
Monday Down South Presented by
Weekly takeaways, trends and technicalities from the final weekend's SEC action.
Well, that flew by, didn't it? Although there's plenty of football left to be played over the coming weeks, and plenty of conclusions left to draw from it, for all but a very small handful of teams with championship ambitions the relevant portion of the 2022 season is in the books and 2023 commands their full attention. The postseason news cycle has arrived in full force: Coaches are on the move, recruiting is in the home stretch ahead of the December signing period, and the transfer portal is filling up fast. Who has time to, like, reflect?
So, while the headlines march on, the regular-season finale of Monday Down South is devoted to doing just that: Taking stock of each SEC outfit's progress and prospects at the end of what was, for most of them, a tumultuous year.
In contrast to the usual stat-driven outlook in this space, teams are categorized here strictly by vibes, based on their relative expectations coming into the season and how the season actually unfolded — not necessarily by how good it was, but by how good they feel about it in the final accounting.
Welcome to the first annual Emotional Stock Index.
Cruising at altitude
⬌Georgia (12-0). The final verdict won't be in until January, but the defending champs have experienced such little turbulence en route to their second consecutive 12-0 regular season they've often seemed bored by the trip.
Ideally, the SEC Championship Game should be a destination in itself. But Georgia opened as a 17.5-point favorite in this weekend's collision with LSU, and just like last year remains so far ahead of the pack nationally that it's effectively a lock for the Playoff field, win or lose. The Dawgs also just watched the team that seemed best equipped to give them trouble down the road, Ohio State, crash and burn (again) vs. a Michigan team that was woefully overmatched against UGA in last year's semifinal.
As top-ranked juggernauts go, they have some issues, and it's worth remembering that the 2021 title run was not quite as inevitable in the end as it seemed at this point on the calendar. It's also worth asking, who is going to stop them? The path to L.A. is wide open.
⬆South Carolina (8-4). Roughly 10 days ago, the Gamecocks looked like a demoralized outfit headed for a 6-6 record and a 6th-place finish in the East. Instead, with historic upsets over Tennessee and Clemson, they eliminated two Playoff contenders in as many weeks, snapped a 7-game losing streak against their blood rival, broke even in conference play, and ended the regular season as the only SEC team outside of Athens, Ga., with no caveats, complaints, or regrets about where the 2022 campaign ultimately set them down.

"Momentum" heading into the offseason is overrated in a sport defined by its unpredictability from one week to the next, much less one season to the next, and that goes especially for a team that stands to lose resurgent QB Spencer Rattler to the NFL Draft. Nothing about South Carolina's baseline talent level or track record prior to the past 2 weeks suggests it's on the verge of becoming an ascendant contender. But then, who knows? The offseason is all about possibilities, and if you're only as good as your last game, Shane Beamer's positivity is well on its way to winning over plenty of willing converts.
So close, so far away
⬌LSU (9-3). When it's all said and done, LSU will look back on Brian Kelly's debut as an obvious success: A team with no real expectations in the preseason beat Alabama, won the West, and still has a chance to claim the conference crown this weekend against Georgia.
In the short run, Saturday's 38-23 flop at Texas A&M was an inexcusable buzzkill. The Tigers went into College Station as 2-touchdown favorites to extend their 5-game winning streak to 6, and to keep their distant Playoff hopes alive with a potential upset over UGA.
Now, the SEC title looks like an even bigger pipe dream (on top of the lopsided spread, QB Jayden Daniels' status for Saturday is in doubt due to an apparent ankle injury), and a CFP bid is out of the question, regardless. After a 4-2 start, the prospect of crashing the Playoff wasn't even on the radar until their Week 10 upset over the Crimson Tide, the first game LSU played all season as a ranked team. Once the possibility crystalized, though, to let it slip away in the final hours of the regular season against a lame-duck A&M squad 2 months removed from its last SEC win can't be written off as anything less than a wasted opportunity.
⬆Tennessee (10-2). All of the above also applies to the Volunteers, who remained very much in the Playoff hunt following their Week 10 loss at Georgia, only to melt down in catastrophic fashion as a 3-touchdown favorite at South Carolina. After 15 years in the wilderness, this was a landmark season for Tennessee; between vanquishing Alabama in one of the greatest games in SEC history, debuting at No. 1 in the initial CFP committee rankings, and Hendon Hooker's Heisman campaign, it will have a place in Vols lore for many years to come. The immediate future of the program under Josh Heupel is brighter than it's been in ages. But the moments that made the season special are ultimately inseparable from the ones that cut it down to size.
Stable or stagnant?
⬇Alabama (10-2). The broader trajectory of the dynasty is up for debate. (I doubt the Tide are going anywhere anytime soon; your mileage may vary.) But the 2022 edition is undeniably going down among the most underwhelming of the Saban era. Not only did Alabama lose 2 games in the regular season for the first time since 2010 but it was dangerously close to dropping a couple more, narrowly escaping upsets at the hands of Texas and Texas A&M in the dying seconds.
When you hear the argument that the Tide were only 2 plays against Tennessee and LSU from going 12-0 — a common one lately, for no other reason than people can't seem to get their heads around Bama being reduced to a non-factor in the Playoff race — remember that they were also just 2 plays against the Longhorns and Aggies from going 8-4, and that's not factoring in another close call at Ole Miss.
Likely departures include Bryce Young, Will Anderson, Jahmyr Gibbs, Henry To'oTo'o, and both coordinators (although most Bama fans at this point probably don't consider the idea of Bill O'Brien and/or Pete Golding shipping out as a negative). That doesn't mean Alabama can't or won't still be Alabama in '23, Saban being Saban and the baseline talent level being what it is. But it is suddenly much less of a foregone conclusion than it has been in a long time.
⬇Arkansas (6-6). Remember when Arkansas was ranked in the top 10? No? It happened, I promise. The Razorbacks seemed bound for much of the year to match their 9-4 finish in 2021, but the combination of a flammable defense, untimely injuries, and miserable luck in close games relegated them to .500. They went out on a down note Friday in a 29-27 loss at Missouri — their 3rd loss in their past 4. No shortage of what-ifs for a team that was 0-4 in games decided by a field goal or less.
⬇Kentucky (7-5). Another team that managed to climb into the top 10 in September, just in time for its season to hit the skids in October. The Wildcats opened the season with their first appearance in the preseason AP poll (at No. 20) since 1978; they ended it with 5 losses in their last 7 SEC games, including a deflating, 44-6 debacle at Tennessee and a home loss to Vanderbilt that snapped the Commodores' 26-game conference losing streak.
Will Levis struggled through nagging foot and shoulder injuries and never looked like the version of himself the mock draft industry keeps touting as a first-round pick next April. Mark Stoops remains among the most secure coaches in America — and now qualifies as one of the best paid, as well — but he's yet to field a team that has finished within 2 games of first place in the SEC East standings and isn't getting any closer.
⬌Mississippi State (8-4). The Bulldogs posted a winning record and (narrowly) beat Ole Miss in the Egg Bowl, which automatically amounts to a cromulent season at Mississippi State. Otherwise, not much to write home about. In their major tests, the Dogs lost by double digits at LSU and got blown out by Alabama and Georgia.
Will Rogers passed a few career milestones by virtue of the sheer volume of the repetitive, mostly risk-averse passes he's tasked with executing in Mike Leach's system. (As of last week, Rogers has attempted more passes than any player in SEC history, and still has at least one more year of eligibility remaining — two if he exercises the free COVID year.) As long as Leach is in charge, only the name on the back of the quarterback's jersey will ever change.
⬇Ole Miss (8-4). Lane Kiffin declined overtures from Auburn and has a new contract extension and salary bump to show for it. Still, they're not exactly throwing a parade for the guy in Oxford after a 7-0 start cratered into a 1-4 finish. The Rebels' backloaded schedule backfired: On one hand, they remained relevant well into November for the first time since anyone can remember; on the other, a normal 8-4 record suddenly feels like a massive disappointment for a team that a couple of weeks ago still figured prominently in hypothetical Playoff scenarios.
Long-suffering Ole Miss fans always knew better than to buy into that kind of hype, but at least it was more fun than closing out the season with none to speak of.
⬌Florida (6-6). The Gators flashed glimpses of Billy Napier's vision early, in a season-opening upset over Utah, and late, in back-to-back November routs over Texas A&M and South Carolina. In between, they were just another rebuilding project preaching patience. QB Anthony Richardson, for his maddening inconsistency, is the rare talent who actually lends the line "wait until next year" some degree of optimism. But that's only if he actually comes back next year, which is an open question.
⬌Missouri (6-6). The Tigers finally pulled out a close one in the season finale vs. Arkansas after going 1-4 in their previous 5 games decided by single digits. Getting to a bowl game after a 2-4 start doesn't come close to justifying a $2 million raise for Eli Drinkwitz, but it does give Drink a chance to even up his overall record at Mizzou (currently 17-18), which would at least force people to stop saying "for a coach with a losing record" when they complain about it.
⬆Vanderbilt (5-7). The Commodores had one goal in 2022: Win a conference game. They won two. Full speed ahead entering Year 3 under Clark Lea.
Hitting reset
⬇Auburn (5-7). As of this writing, Auburn has not announced a new head coach, although that could change at any moment and render this entry dead on arrival. (Always fun.) Reports over the weekend that Hugh Freeze was waiting in the wings to be introduced after the Tigers' Iron Bowl loss at Alabama turned to be either a) premature, or b) the spark for enough of a backlash due to Freeze's scandalous departure from Ole Miss in 2017 to force new athletic director John Cohen to think twice.
There is some urgency to get a full-time hire in place ASAP, for all of the reasons cited at the top of this post: Recruiting — both the traditional variety and via the transfer portal — is entering its crucial phase over the coming weeks. More to the point, with a month's head start on filling the vacancy a delay at this stage would, fairly or unfairly, signal some degree of dysfunction behind the scenes, which is the last thing Auburn needs after the well-publicized infighting that accompanied its last coaching search just 2 years ago.
⬇Texas A&M (5-7). The Aggies' out-of-nowhere upset over LSU was a cathartic moment for a team and a fan base that has endured a nightmare of a season, but make no mistake: A&M was every bit as bad in 2022 as its record and its underachieving reputation suggests, and still faces all of the same challenges going forward that it would have if it had limped into the offseason on a 7-game conference skid.
It's tempting to look at a depth chart stacked with blue-chip freshmen and sophomores and imagine them turning the corner in '23, and once the ruins of this year's expectations stop smoldering you can bank on a certain level of preseason hype based on exactly that premise.
QB Conner Weigman, specifically, is a potential cornerstone who'll go through an entire offseason as the undisputed QB1 after getting his feet wet as a true freshman. Jimbo Fisher is expected to concede to handing over play-calling duties to a new offensive coordinator, as well, which is the kind of change on paper that makes it a little bit easier to justify why this time will be different than last time.
It will all sound very plausible, and there won't be any shortage of pundits looking to buy low on a potential dark horse. Buyer beware.
The week's best individual performances.
1. Texas A&M RB Devon Achane. Achane, a junior who's likely bound for the NFL Draft, could have easily called it a career and opted out of the Aggies' finale against LSU, no questions asked: He missed the previous 2 games with a bum ankle, and nothing was at stake against the Tigers except his health.
Instead, he suited up and went harder than ever, carrying 38 times for a career-high 215 yards and 2 touchdowns in an instant-classic performance. A 5-9, 185-pound track star, Achane has never been typecast as a workhorse, and certainly won't be at the next level. Injury notwithstanding, though, he embraced the role Saturday night, grinding out consistent chunks even without popping free on a breakaway run. (His long gain covered 29 yards.) Per Pro Football Focus, he generated 161 yards after contact and forced 19 missed tackles — the most PFF has credited to any FBS back in any game this season.
How about that start ⚡

— Texas A&M Football (@AggieFootball) November 27, 2022
From beginning to end, Achane was the one part of a dysfunctional A&M offense that consistently worked, ultimately accounting for 30% of the team's total offense on the season despite missing 2 full games. Add in his contributions as a return man, and his 170.6 all-purpose yards per game vs. FBS opponents led the nation.
2. Alabama QB Bryce Young and Alabama Edge Will Anderson Jr. Young and Anderson came in together as the highest-rated prospects in Bama's 2020 recruiting class, and went out Saturday on arguably their best individual efforts of the season against Auburn, a worthy coda in their last game in Bryant-Denny Stadium and likely their last game in an Alabama uniform.
On offense, Young was his usual, efficient self, throwing for 343 yards, accounting for 4 touchdowns, and finishing with a season-high 98.1 Total QBR score. On defense, Anderson made his presence felt off the edge with 7 QB pressures and 3 tackles for loss, 2 of them sacks. His 59 pressures on the season leads all Power 5 defenders, and his 17.0 TFLs ranks 2nd behind USC's Tuli Tuipulotu.
3. Georgia RB Kenny McIntosh. In Week 12, McIntosh went off for a career-high 162 scrimmage yards (143 rushing, 19 receiving) on 21 touches against Kentucky. On Saturday, he raised the bar again, accounting for 182 yards (86 rushing, 96 receiving) on just 14 touches in the Dawgs' win over Georgia Tech, singlehandedly supplying a big-play spark to an offense sorely lacking in it otherwise. His 83-yard reception early in the fourth quarter, which set up his own game-clinching TD run on the next play, was Georgia's only completion longer than 11 yards.
The play that set up the score.

— Georgia Football (@GeorgiaFootball) November 26, 2022
In the end, it also turned out to be Stetson Bennett's last completion in Sanford Stadium — a Hallmark moment all the way around. But McIntosh can't serve as the resident deep threat with a championship on the line … can he?
4. South Carolina CB Marcellas Dial. Clemson's D.J. Uiagalelei singled out Dial for target practice on Saturday, throwing in his direction 13 times, per PFF. The result: An 11-yard TD pass offset by a dozen balls clanging to the turf. Aside from the touchdown (on which Dial apparently failed to switch off of the outside receiver and onto the slot receiver on a standard-issue pick play), Uiagalelei was 0-for-12 aiming Dial's way, including 3 passes broken up and a crippling interception that preserved South Carolina's 31-30 lead in the fourth quarter.
Altogether, Uiagalelei was a dismal 8-for-29 passing for 99 yards, setting new career lows for completion percentage (27.6%), yards per attempt (3.4), and overall efficiency (60.8).
5. Missouri LB Ty'Ron Hopper. Hopper, a Florida transfer in his first season at Mizzou, played his best all-around game as a Tiger against Arkansas, finishing with 11 tackles, 2 TFLs, 3 QB pressures, and an 83.5 PFF coverage grade, easily his best of the season in SEC play. As a team, the Razorbacks ran for just 113 yards, their lowest output of the season, on a little under 3.0 per carry. If he returns for a 5th year in 2023, Hopper has a chance to be an All-SEC candidate. But as emphatically as he came on this season, that's a big if.
Honorable Mention: Georgia CB Kelee Ringo, who faced 9 targets against Georgia Tech and broke up as many (3) as he allowed to be completed. … Missouri QB Brady Cook, who accounted for 380 total yards (242 passing, 138 rushing) and 2 touchdowns in the Tigers' win over Arkansas. … Cook's top receiver, Dominic Lovett, who had 6 catches for 130 yards in what now appears to be his final game at Mizzou. … South Carolina WR Antwane Wells Jr., who had 9 catches for 130 yards and 2 touchdowns in the Gamecocks' win over Clemson, most of that output coming on a 72-yard bomb. …Texas A&M WR Moose Muhammad III, whose 5 receptions against LSU yielded 94 yards and a wild one-handed touchdown catch. … Florida WR Ricky Pearsall, who had 148 yards and 2 TDs on five catches in a losing effort at Florida State. … Florida Edge Antwaun Powell-Ryland, who turned in his best game of the year against FSU with 6 pressures, a strip sack and a deflected pass. … Kentucky RB Chris Rodriguez Jr., who ground out his customary 120 yards on 5.0 per carry in the Wildcats' win over Louisville. … Auburn RB Jarquez Hunter, who accounted for 191 all-purpose yards on 16 touches in the Tigers' loss at Alabama. … And South Carolina punter Kai Kroeger, who dropped 5 of his 7 punts inside Clemson 10-yard line and netted a season-high 48.6 yards per attempt.
The scoring system for players honored in Superlatives awards 8 points for the week's top player, 6 for 2nd, 5 for 3rd, 4 for 4th, 3 for 5th, and 1 for honorable mention, because how honorable is it really if it doesn't come with any points? The standings are updated weekly with the top 10 players for the season to date.
Obscure stat of the week
Auburn racked up 318 yards rushing on 7.4 yards per carry in its loss to Alabama, setting new highs in both categories for an FBS offense against a Saban-era Bama defense. (Georgia Southern, an FCS school at the time, finished with 302 yards on 7.7 per carry against the Tide in 2011.)
The last FBS offense to crack 300 yards on the ground against Bama: Arkansas in 2007, when the Razorbacks piled up 301 yards behind Darren McFadden and Felix Jones in Saban's third game as the Tide's head coach. The closest any other has come in the intervening 15 years: Auburn in the 2013 "Kick Six" game, when the Tigers ran for an astounding-at-the-time 296 yards en route to the upset.
Catch of the year of the week
South Carolina TE Nate Adkins. Adkins, a grad transfer from East Tennessee State, came into Saturday's game at Clemson with 4 catches on the season for 28 yards. He eclipsed that on one play against the Tigers, in absurd fashion:
pic.twitter.com/iVuiIWluxn
— pickett's pool (@PickettsPool) November 26, 2022
Besides challenging the laws of physics, Adkins' one-handed grab also changed the complexion of the game, setting up Carolina's first touchdown and generally sparking an offense that had languished up to that point. Both the guy throwing him the ball, Spencer Rattler, and the guy covering him, Barrett Carter, are former 5-star with likely NFL futures. But part of the beauty of the sport is that, occasionally, the walk-on from a directional FCS school still manages briefly to steal the show.

Remembering the 1973 coup in Chile
Posted on September 21, 2013 by Jessica | Leave a comment
by Jack Price
Sept. 11 has an additional significance. That date in 1973, now 40 years ago, marked a coup in Chile, which overthrew the democratically elected government of Salvador Allende. The coup, a project of Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger, ushered in 17 years of the Pinochet dictatorship.
Official human rights reports have established that more than 3,000 people were killed or disappeared during the Pinochet years. Some 40,000 more were tortured, among them Michelle Bachelet and her mother. Dr. Bachelet became president after the restoration of democracy and is currently a presidential candidate. Thousands more went into exile, several of whom became friends of mine.
I have been deeply involved with Chile solidarity and human rights since 1977.
Ten years ago, on the 30th anniversary of the coup, the Civic Media Center screened the powerful Costa-Gavras film, "Missing" starring Jack Lemmon and Sissy Spacek at the Hippodrome. The movie tells the story of Charles Horman, an American filmmaker working for the Allende government. Horman became missing in the wake of the coup, and so he is today, his body probably having been tossed into the Pacific or down a mine shaft. His widow, Joyce Horman, has been pursuing truth and perhaps a measure of justice all these years. She created the Charles Horman Truth Foundation and has organized an ambitious event in New York City on Sept. 9. I urge you to visit the Hormantruth.org website.
Through heroic efforts in Chile and extraordinary international solidarity, democracy has been restored, and Chile's courts have begun meting out jail sentences for human rights abuses. But details of the U.S. involvement in the coup and the deaths of several American citizens remain veiled.
To read more about the U.S.-backed coup in Chile, check out Joyce Horman's article, "Missing Charlie, 40 Years Later," in the September 2013 issue of the Progressive.
