Exercise turns on my brain – in more ways than one. So does this blog.
I tend to have a hard time figuring out when I'm not doing well, physically speaking. When I'm in pain, or when I'm not getting my exercise, or I'm generally not feeling great in my body.
I can get so wrapped up in my life — like for the past three weekends, when I had so much to do, and work was full of pressure — that I don't get regular exercise, and the pain starts to bother me… including headaches. But I'm so busy, I don't notice. It's all I can do, to keep up.
Of course, eventually, I don't keep up. I get bogged down. My head doesn't work right. My thoughts are scattered and unreliable, and I stop using my adaptations to make sure I'm okay.
The one sure way I can tell when I'm headed off the rails, is when I don't blog here. It doesn't take me long to write a post. It takes 10-20 minutes to put something together. And I have more than that much free time, each morning, the way I've structured my days. If I can't spare 10-20 minutes to write something here, then my life has really taken a turn for the worse, and I need to get myself back on track.
That means… exercise. Like I did this morning. I had an extra-long bike ride, then I did an extra set of lifts with my little weights. And while I was doing that, I thought about how I can get more weight lifting (with machines) in my life. There are some great gyms at the different buildings of my work campus, and one of them has a pool. So, I need to avail myself of the resources and take steps. Because I'm gaining weight, losing muscle tone, and my thinking has not been as sharp as I'd like it to be.
If I can manage to blog here regularly, it means my executive function is firing on all cylinders. It means I have enough energy to get into my day. It means I'm being pro-active and taking initiative in my life. It means I have left myself some wiggle room to do what needs to be done, and that's exactly what I need to in my daily life.
I've been letting myself get too tired, lately. Work has been very, very busy, and also stressful. Long hours, especially every other weekend when we have software releases and I need to work overnight hours. This weekend is one of those times, and after starting work at 8:00 a.m. yesterday, I was till 4:00 a.m. this morning, working on problems that other people caused.
I'm not in a position to change jobs, right now, so I just have to tough it out… or look for another position at the company, so I don't have to get dragged through the horror of outside interviews and having to prove myself all over again. Toughing it out and managing things as they are is actually more appealing to me than switching positions, at this point. I like most of the people I work with. Some of them make me crazy, but most of them I love… and they love me. So, there's that.
Can't put a price on love, you know?
Anyway, I'm a little delirious after getting only 4 hours of sleep last night (and I need to check in later today to see how things are going with work). I just need to get back in tune with myself and get myself back on track about my physical health and my mental state — support the body, and the brain will follow suit, is what I say. That's always been the case with my TBI-addled brain. Not until I got into regular exercise and focused on taking care of my body, did my brain start to cooperate… and heal.
Until then, all bets were off. And I was miserable.
So, it's better if I get my act together and get my exercise back on track. And keep blogging here. Each and every day. Or at least as often as I can manage.
Concussion / mild TBI recovery is not only possible, but highly likely. As many people need to know this as I can tell in one lifetime.
It's been a wild couple of days. I had to work overtime twice in two days, which meant I was up from 4 a.m. on Tuesday morning till 3 a.m. yesterday, and I was working intensely for most of that time. We had a big project we had to get done, and we were missing two people on the team, since they had previously scheduled vacation and the big project's schedule got changed to the worst possible dates.
Oh, well. We just had to deal with it.
And deal with it, I did.
I got 90 minutes of sleep between the two marathon testing sessions, and that was it. Half the time, I felt like I was dead on my feet, and my brain was mush. I was doubled over in pain, part of the time, because of eating the wrong stuff to keep my energy up, which led to digestive problems.
I have to be honest – it was pretty rough. But I got through it. And I ended up lasting longer than just about everybody else, which is typical. One of the upsides of dealing with fatigue and confusion and pain all the time, is that when things get really rough, all across the board, I can — and usually will — persevere. I can stick it out and still perform. Because I've had plenty of practice. I know how to do it, because I do it, every single day, pretty much.
I'm usually tired, usually brain-fogged, usually struggling a bit at something or another. That's pretty much the cards in the hand I've been dealt, because even if I weren't dealing with TBI issues, I'd still be pushing myself — always harder, always farther, always faster. That's just how I am. I'm not all that competitive against others. I'm mainly competitive against myself, and I always want to see how much better I can be, how much I can improve.
That's just how I'm built.
So, of course, I'm going to experience these kinds of stresses and strains, these challenges, these difficulties. And when I'm called upon to kick in and contribute, I'll do that to the max. To the utmost. I'm not going to hold back. It can be a problem, of course, because I can push myself too hard and overextend myself, but I'm aware of that risk, so I do something about it.
Bottom line, all the difficulties I've been up against, over the course of my life have strengthened and sharpened and honed me to this point. And even if I'm not as sharp and strong and honed as I'd ideally like to be, I'm still able to persevere, to hang in there. To stick it out and really do my best, no matter what.
That's a huge up-side, for me and everyone around me.
And it makes the down-sides manageable.
All this immmobility is seriously giving me problems. My day job is very sedentary, and I don't move nearly enough. And it's been taking a toll on me physically.
If I'm going to last for the long run, I absolutely have to get moving more often. Even if it's just adjusting my posture or moving my shoulders, I must move on a regular basis.
I've been doing a bit better with that, lately. I do my morning exercise bike ride, then I do some new movements, similar to martial arts and Qi Gong, that wake me up. In the past, I've done a lot of weight lifting, in combination with my bike riding, but the repetitive motions actually worked against me, and I developed back and shoulder problems as a result. Now, I'm doing more natural, more complex movements, to stir the energy and get my body woken up.
The way I see it, the real danger of brain injury is to the body. We can become so stressed, so preoccupied with what's wrong with us, that we stop living our lives, we stop actively taking chances, and we stop learning. We can also stop moving. It's so easy, these days, to "veg out" in front of the television and not do anything, or lie in bed looking at social media on your phone. Plus, the cocooning that's often recommended after a concussion encourages immobility.
As it turns out, cocooning might not be the best thing for folks after a concussion, after all. We need to move more. And if you think about it, it makes sense. Concussion releases a lot of chemicals into the brain that need to be moved out. How does the body move things — by moving itself. Increased blood flow. Increased circulation. Increased breathing. Over-exertion isn't a great idea — in fact, it may expose you to additional injuries, because your coordination may be impacted, and you may also not be able to gauge risk, or react to the environment as quickly.
You need to be careful. But you also need to move.
But I digress. This is really about me and fixing decades of sedentary life. I've allowed myself to get comfortable in non-movement, and now it's almost like my body seems to have forgotten how to really move freely. In fact, that's what happens. You get muscle amnesia, and your brain stops understanding how to move your whole body.
I need to do something about that. I look around at my peers, and I'm not impressed by how non-active they are. It's pretty bad. They can't move freely. They might play sports, go skiing, or run, but they don't have fluidity of movement. They're too busy looking the part of a respectable adult — and it amazes me, just how restricted your movements have to be, when you're doing an impression of a respectable adult. Especially for women. Don't run, don't spring into action, don't move in unexpected ways… No wonder our bodies run out of juice. We don't use them.
Well, I for one am not going to end up like that. Yeah, I've got some pain going on. I messed up my shoulder again over the weekend. But I'm working through it. I've got my movements, I'm getting into motion. I'm also using my stand-up desks at home and at work, to get me off my a**. I'm going up and down stairs at work, instead of taking the elevator. Even if I'm carrying a heavy load — especially then.
And that's good. It's helping. It's working itself out.
I've been having a lot of trouble with my shoulder and back, over the past months. Dealing with all the snow, along with spending a lot of time being sedentary — alternating between slothfulness and frantic activity — has done a number on me.
I've been trying to get my shoulder to loosen up, so the pain in my arm eases up. I've got a lot of shooting pain, tingling, weakness, etc. in my left arm, and sometimes it also goes over to my right side.
I need to keep myself in good working order. Life goes on, and I absolutely need to be up for it all. I can't afford to get waylaid, especially when we're talking about just regular life. I know I've got some disabilities, and I know I need to make accommodations for myself, but once I do that, I need to stay in the game. I can't use my intermittent issues as an excuse. No way, no how.
After months of wangling with this pain, I finally found something that really seems to work. I'd been doing stretches and trying to release the tightness in my muscles with movements designed to lengthen them. But that seemed to be doing the exact opposite.
So, I tried something that's worked for me in the past — doing muscle releases by doing slight tightening and then relaxation. Apparently, a muscle contraction will actually loosen the muscle, where a stretch will shorten it. So, I did some exercises I'd read about (and used with some pretty amazing success) a few years ago.
And lo and behold, I'm finally getting some relief. It's pretty amazing, actually. The sense of relaxation that comes from it, is a welcome change, compared to what I've been dealing with for months, now. It's not always perfect, and I still have to refine my technique, but I'm learning how to move so that my body isn't at war with itself.
So, now it's time to get moving, and get on with my day.
Life has thrown me a bunch of curve-balls, lately, and I'm feeling it physically. It's been a while since I've been this sore — lots of lifting and carrying and pushing and pulling, over the past few days. And despite the pain, my body is actually responding well to it.
I'm sleeping better. I've been getting about 8 hours a night, for the past few nights, where I was stuck at 6 hours for quite some time. I need 8, or I can't function well, and things start to fall apart.
I'm also thinking more clearly, with less static and "clutter".
I've been doing more stretching, which has really helped, too.
Spending less time in front of the computer has been great. Because let's be honest, not that much changes, from day to day, despite the steady stream of sensational headlines and "news" stories that are all just different angles about the same-old-same-old. I can literally check in every week or so, and the story will still be the same. So, I'm leaving it alone, and that's making me happy and freeing up a lot of time.
Also, spending more time exercising is helping. I've been riding my bike for 20 minutes a day for years, but now I'm changing things up and focusing on burning calories. I'm keeping at it, till I burn 400-500 calories, and not stopping before then. That's making a difference, I think. Ultimately, it'll help my weight (I've regained weight I thought I could keep off). And it's also good for my mental health, because I feel like I'm actually doing something. Plus, I can be more involved with my diet and its effects, overall. I need to do that. Eat more variety. Get better nutrients in me.
It's funny, yesterday I was feeling really hungry, and I started to go after my usual crackers and cheese (protein helps). But then I stopped and decided to take some of my multivitamin "gummies". And when I did that, it cut my hunger. I suspect that craving feeling is my body telling me it needs more nutrients, but when I go for the cookies or crackers, instead of actual vitamins, it just disguises the need and distracts my system with the sugar rush.
So, now that's going to be my go-to. Instead of snacking, take some vitamin gummies. Not overdose on them, but just the usual recommended amount. I've got a number of different types that have been sitting in my cupboard, instead of me taking them. So, now I can take them. I just need a way to work them into my life, in order to get with the program.
Huh, it's funny. My brain very quickly decides that it's done with stuff — exercise and physical activity, especially. But my body wants to keep going. Like with the bike riding. If I can just get my mind off its desire to go do something else, I can keep going with my workouts. And when I'm working hard, my distractable brain can come up with all kinds of other things it'd rather be thinking about. But I need to keep working. Keep my body going.
So, I just need to keep this in mind, when I'm trying to keep myself on track. Keep my mind out of the picture, and let my body continue on its pace. And watch what happens. To my health — physical and mental.
My brain wants to quit, but I should know better than to listen to it.
I should know that by now. And yeah, I do. I just need a reminder. Like now.
Okay, enough work. Time to get some balance back in my life.
Last week was incredibly busy. I had meetings for work from dawn till dusk, and beyond, and I spent a lot of time hunched over my computer or sitting at a table concentrating on what was being said, not to mention the ramifications of what people were saying.
I was so intent on keeping up, I didn't keep up with my exercise, and now I'm feeling it in a big way. My bum shoulder is acting up again, and so are my elbows, back, and knees. I'm in a fair amount of chronic, low-level pain that keeps flaring up at odd times. It's tiring. And it puts me in a bad mood.
Typically, I start the day with exercise. I ride my bike for 20 minutes (sometimes more), then I lift weights. If I don't, I start to feel the ill-effects within a few days. And last week was so packed, I didn't do much of anything in that department for over 5 days. Not good.
What I notice most is the drop in my strength. I lifted a little this morning, but the weights felt much heavier than usual. And it humbling, to feel that. They shouldn't feel that heavy to me. Not under normal conditions.
But these aren't normal conditions.
Well, anyway, enough regrets. I know what to do, and I can do it. Now I can get back to my regular exercise — and then some. I really need to do more, anyway. I used to swim several times a week, but that dropped off, for some reason. I need to get back to that, if only because it exercises my entire body all at one time, instead of just focusing on one muscle group at a time. It also feels good to be less weighted in the pool.
And on the weekends, I need to move more, do more lifting, do more … period. I'm here in the house. And I need to get out, go for the kinds of walks I used to. Get myself moving. Get myself up and at 'em.
It's kind of strange, how I've gotten away from being as active as I used to be. I don't go out for those time-honored walks, like I used to. I don't putter around outside, like I used to. I don't do as much physical activity as I need to — I've been working on thinking projects for the past couple of years, sitting at my desk or the dining room table, coming up with ideas. And that's fine. I've made a lot of progress. But I can also think while I'm walking — in fact, I've had some of my best ideas while hiking through the woods.
So, it's time to get back to that. It feels like a New Year's resolution, but it's really just common sense.
And before I know it, I'm so tired, I can't rest.
I'm tired. I'm wired. And I'm unbelievably impulsive. As in – reserve a new domain name and launch a new online business impulsive. As in – push myself to make poor choices that pump me full of adrenaline that make me feel like myself again, even though I'm putting myself in danger. These choices can range from driving while exhausted, to starting a new thing before I finish something else, picking a fight with someone over something stupid, or staying up even later to watch a movie I've seen a hundred times before.
Of course, the whole "new thing" crashes before long, because I run out of steam, I implode, or I rapidly lose track of what I'm doing. And after I get a nap or a couple of good nights' sleep, I realize what I've been doing – and I know for sure, it's never going to work.
That happened to me, last weekend. I had a lot going on. Too much, as it turns out. And I was tired. I was tweaked about things going on at work, and I was feeling the burn of the long winter and a lack of sunlight. So, I pushed myself. And pushed myself. And I ended up frittering away a lot of time over the weekend on things that I didn't need to be doing — that I shouldn't have been doing. And I tired myself out, even more.
I didn't exercise as much as I should have. Because I was tired.
I didn't finish the things I'd started earlier in the week. Because I was tired.
And I ended up eating a lot of junk food to keep my energy up… and also due to an impending migraine. I get ravenous when a migraine is brewing. And I ate a bunch of stuff that put on some pounds, made me feel worse, and screwed up my energy… so I was more inclined to eat more junk food, stay up later, and basically waste my week.
I don't have weeks to waste. Only in the past several years, have I even felt like a real human being, thanks to my TBI rehab. I've lived for decades in the shadows, not feeling even remotely real. I've struggled to keep up, year after year after year, and I've never had the kind of connection with my work that I have now. I can't afford to waste any time in my life, because I only have this one. And I've been wanting to do so much, for so long, only to be blocked and thwarted at every turn… I can't waste any time, now.
So, all that being said, it's incredibly critical that I keep myself in line and properly manage my energy, my eating, my exercise. And always keep in mind the fact that, just a few years ago, I wasn't able to maintain this level of activity, let alone have a realistic expectation that I'd be able to live up to my plans and dreams. It was all just "throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks".
Now, though, things are very different. Indeed, they are. And I have to keep that in mind, when I'm tempted to fritter away time on things that have no ultimate purpose.
It's good to take a break, every now and then, but it's important to stay on track and follow through. I can finally – finally – do that.
And I don't want to take it for granted.
We think too much in our daily lives. Most of us, anyway.
We read too much news that has nothing to do with us personally, and about which we can do nothing. Nothing at all.
We spend a lot of time and energy, packing our days full of activity and "achievement" and all the while we are getting farther and farther from the very things that give us satisfaction and a sense of meaning and purpose.
We move too fast, thinking that will get us more to think about and enjoy and experience.
I'm seeing that with my parents, who are on a hell-bent all-out rush to do everything they can pack into their lives — apparently wanting to get everything accomplished before they die. They're not getting any younger, and they seem keenly aware of that. It's almost impossible to pin them down, these days. They pick up and go at a moment's notice — camping, traveling, hiking, doing, doing, doing, doing….
The tyranny of a life devoted to checking off all the items on your "bucket list" is cruel and sadistic. You race and race and rush and rush, doing everything, seeing nothing, experiencing nothing, just having a completed checklist at the end.
But the simple fact of my own life is that doing less and digging in more, is far more satisfactory than packing in all kinds of hyperactive pastimes that produce far more fatigue than awareness. I'd rather stand still in one place, examining the toad that has taken up residence near my back door bug light, feeling the sun on my skin and the wind at my back, and even the mosquitoes flying around my ears… than race from Point A to Point B at top speed, just for the sake of getting there.
I'm really in no hurry.
Maybe it's because I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid to lose, I'm not afraid to die. I'm not afraid. So, I'm in no rush.
This, of course, is a huge change from where I was 10 years ago. Even 5 years ago. Even 5 months ago. It's where I am right now. There's no guarantee I won't be wracked by fear in another 5 hours, but right here, right now, I'm pretty chill, with my feet firmly planted on the ground, and no — I mean no — fear of the unknown.
And I'm taking my time today, just soaking it all in. It's good for my brain. It's good for my life. Stopping to really zero in on what's around me, having a really in-depth experience with it all… that's the ticket.
I'm doing some reading, some writing, some work around the house and the yard. I'm moving through my days, just letting them all sink in, and enjoying them for what they are. I've been thinking hard about my life up to this point, and I'm feeling pretty damn' good about how far I've come. Especially since my TBI in 2004. My ten-year anniversary is coming up… and I'm starting to get reflective, pensive… and extremely grateful for the recovery I've been blessed to experience.
It's funny… the other day, I bumped my head as I was getting in my car. Ouch. I've had a little bit of a headache since, but I haven't lost it over the whole thing. I've had bumps and falls, over the past few years, and they freaked me out a bit. But this time, I've been pretty chilled out about it. I have a sore spot on my head and a little bit of a headache, but other than that, I have no other symptoms.
I'm still paying close attention to what's going on with me, because I don't want to have any complications building on my past TBIs, and I don't want to let a potential concussion go unattended. It's all too easy to let things slide, and then end up worse off over the long term.
However, based on what I've experienced so far — no detectable cognitive or motor issues, no fogginess or other ill-effects — I seem to be fine.
Speaking of fine, it's time for me to get out in this day. I have another day off work, which is fantastic. And I have a few hours before I need to head into the city to do some errands. Life is good. And it's worth spending the extra time to pay close attention to the details.
Getting lots done is all very well and good. But in the end, I'd rather be able to remember and appreciate what I've experienced along the way.

Italia!!!
So ….. a lot has been going on. So a brief update on goings on:
On Sunday I woke up at 5am and left the Stoker's house at 6am to get to the airport. Mr. Stoker took me to the airport and then I checked in for my 8am flight. I got to Rome at noon and met up with my professoressa. We waited for some of the other students and then made our way over to the hotel/apartments. We had some time to settle in and then we went for a walk to the Spanish steps and then Cinzia (my professor) treated us to gelato. then we went back to the hotel and had dinner in the restaurant there, and then went to bed afterward.
On Monday we went to the catacombs and got to see these pretty elaborate tunnels built by the early Christians. I visited the same catacombs last time I was in Rome but it was pouring rain that day. After that we went on a walk in the neighborhood on a road called the Appian way. It is a road that was originally built around 100-300 AD by the Romans. It is still in existence and the foundation is so good that major highways were built directly on top of it in some places. After that we went to a WWII memorial. The story behind the memorial is that in 1944 there were some italians who were tired of Nazi rule in Italy and so they managed to kill 33 Nazi soldiers in Rome. When Hitler found out he said the Italians needed to be punished. So He ordered that 10 Italians would be killed for every Nazi soldier that had died. Some people were abducted off the streets others were Jewish Italians etc and they were taken to some caves just outside the city and were shot, then the caves were caved in to hide the bodies. 330 people were killed that day. Later, the caves were found and excavated and the bodies buried in a special memorial cemetery next to the caves.
After these visits we were free for the rest of the day. We went exploring mostly and bought some gelato. (obviously)
On Tuesday we went to a church called St. Peter in Chains. This church has the chains that Peter was held captive with during his imprisonment in Rome. It also has the tomb commissioned by the Pope to Michelangelo which has the famous Moses on it. After this we went inside the Colosseum and then toured the Forum. Afterward we were free to do as we pleased. I went with a group to find some good pizza. Afterward me and one of the guys broke off from the group and walked around the Castel d'San Angelo and the Vatican. We stopped at the hotel to get our homework and then went to the Piazza del Popolo to do our work. I started drawing and some little kids came up to watch eventually one of them asked if he could draw with me. So now my sketchbook has a very nice drawing by Riccardo of his friend Ludovica and a few other things :)

Since 1997, the Institute of Medicine has issued a series of nutrient reference values that are collectively termed Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs). The DRIs offer quantitative estimates of nutrient intakes to be used for planning and assessing diets. Using the information from these reports, this newest volume in the DRI series focuses on how the DRIs, and the science for each nutrient in the DRI reports, can be used to develop current and appropriate reference values for nutrition labeling and food fortification.Focusing its analysis on the existing DRIs, the book examines the purpose of nutrition labeling, current labeling practices in the United States and Canada, food fortification practices and policies, and offers recommendations as a series of guiding principles to assist the regulatory agencies that oversee food labeling and fortification in the United States and Canada. The overarching goal of the information in this book is to provide updated nutrition labeling that consumers can use to compare products and make informed food choices. Diet-related chronic diseases are a leading cause of preventable deaths in the United States and Canada and helping customers make healthy food choices has never been more important.

California -- Backers of laws allowing marijuana use in California are girding for a possible political and legal battle against President-elect Donald Trump's pick for attorney general, Sen. Jeff Sessions, a staunch foe of pot legalization.Marijuana industry leaders in the state and around the U.S. have launched an opposition campaign to the Senate confirmation of the Republican senator from Alabama and are appealing to the Trump camp to make sure the president-elect's policies are consistent with his campaign comments that he favors allowing states to decide how to enforce marijuana laws.
I was wondering about news sources that any Republicans I know would even read if I asked them to. I thought of Fox. I was stunned the Fox news network's coverage of the Trump/Duterte phone call. Philippines President Duterte phones Trumphttp://www.foxnews.com/world/2016/12/02/philippines-president-duterte-phones-trump.htmlI read one woman's comments over at BreitBart about the Duterte connection that wouldn't it be fine if the government, Trump government, let them, as hunter/helpers have a bag like on hunting deer, on those they suspected of being drug dealers, or users, and maybe even get a per pound reward. How sick is that? *sigh* That's the kind of people we have been resisting. The killer prohibitionists, and they are reacting like blood thirsty savages to the possibility that a Duterte like pogrom could open up for them. They have no shame or conscience and talk like they aren't insane. They want to kill others for consuming or selling substances. Substances NOT the flesh and blood of other humans. And none of their co-horts admonish them in any way. They have been so thoroughly and deeply indoctrinated with lies and hatred, they may never see true human reality and reason again. We already know that people like that are deaf to reason.Why hasn't Trump denied Duterte's statements? It's been days now, and not one word of denial from the Trump camp.
About, "Jeff Sessions' Coming War on Legal Marijuana"Of all the states; Alabama. One of the states which least represents what the USA is, Alabama has got to be on everyone's list.Pleased to say, Polis is My Congressman.Again, I understand the implications and they are real, however, the cannabis movement can only be slowed down. It can not be stopped. U.S. citizens have expressed contempt for cannabis prohibition My entire life.The fight to end cannabis prohibition will not diminish and can only increase. Opposing atoms will knock anyone attempting to stop the force of cannabis, off their feet.Cannabis is the KING of the plant kingdom.
I understand what you mean. This election turned everything upside down. I know I will miss Obama's well balanced and thoughtful way of dealing with being our President. What a flip!
"I don't believe in my lifetime there has been so many people for different reasons dislike a president like they do Trump. "That's right. Trying to find some positive, it may not be politics as usual, which I'm tired of but it's not politics as usual yet very much still bums. Still crappy politicians, Only the bums are a lump of the worst of the worst.When You empty a trash can, there can be that sticky crap that sticks to the bottom that doesn't empty and it's the worst of the garbage and then it starts to stink ;;; that's what We have, old sticky stinkin' garbage.
I don't believe in my lifetime there has been so many people for different reasons dislike a president like they do Trump. We have fought our way from the bottom up like the way Obama said change comes and we will not let them make us climb under a rock or just disappear. We have the Internet and it will not happen. Not now. We have a powerful voice full of smart and caring people.
Giant ones... owned and operated by China. Tycoon who built mega drug rehab center is real friend: Dutertehttp://news.abs-cbn.com/news/11/29/16/tycoon-who-built-mega-drug-rehab-center-is-real-friend-duterteMaybe, the glow on the horizon we hoped we saw is really the fires of destruction and these places over the horizon.Be brave and have hope and courage. I'm not feeling very brave right now. I'm afraid of Trump, but even moreso, the people that elected him... the ones who had some idea of what he was and still voted for him. When he comes for their neighbors, their spouses, and their children... I guess they'll thank him. Or worse, help him. Blood in the streets. Civil war. I've never been a conspiracy theorist and thankfully, I'm not gifted with the gift of prophecy or knowing the future. I haven't got a clue, well I have a clue, and it's not a good clue. I know a lot of people. More of them are Trump fans than not. Even in my own family. Will they really stand by or help him in a Duterte like purge? Will our police really do that? I don't have much faith in most of them, their goodness, or their love.Trying not to panic here. Panic tells me I'm surrounded by prohibitionist murderers and punishers and they are itching to kill and punish. Dear God, I so hoped, I thought, we were past this.
Which state is next & more about jobs.
The Next 5 States to Legalize MarijuanaSomebody's got to be the first state to free the weed through the legislature. Here are the most likely prospects.http://www.alternet.org/drugs/next-5-states-legalize-marijuana-0-One of the comments includes: "They have visions of brand new prisons dancing in their heads: preferably, the private ones they own stock in."(So MINORITY cannabis prohibition ignoids will turn that around in their heads as a way to increase jobs...)-0-Another aspect regarding this issue is realizing some of the states mentioned have the initiative process available to them. So politicians who might complain about the wording in a potential election bid have some time to make a bill they can live with and if they don't, they really will not be taken seriously when the people make one which they may not want to live with.
It is murder/killing they can get away with, completely, under color of law. At least apparently so in the Philippines. It's hard to believe prohibitionists want bodies in the streets, Duterte style, but it's beginning to look like they do.Our enemies in this effort to reform unjust laws are licking their lips.
http://drugpolicycentral.com/bot/dea/mj2014/Every thief I ever met had his or her excuses or boasts for why it was alright for them to take from others.The list above lists reasons why it's ok to kill others.If they do that here, there will be an uncivil war. The Filipino people are mostly unarmed. Often from photographs, barely clothed. That's not true of The United States.Duterte is a monster. What he's doing is not right. Not right at all, unless it's right to dehumanize "Illegal" plant or substance users.
My peace is shaken... big time.
Did any of you catch this article?
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/01/health/hallucinogenic-mushrooms-psilocybin-cancer-anxiety-depression.html?_r=0It opens your mind to peace, love and understanding. (It is all around, if we could but perceive.) Of course it is good. This has been known for centuries. People have been suffering because these guys could not figure it out.
Patients say it was a wonderful experience.
28 states with recreational and/or medical cannabis laws on the book equals 56 Democratic and Republican Senators, not mention all of the Representatives in the House. Legal cannabis now means jobs, lots of jobs. Jobs means money and money is power, political power. What politician in their right mind would vote against that? Nothing gets politicians more interested and excited than money and power.
I would like to see more on how many people are employed in the states with medical or medical and recreation use. Trump wants jobs in the USA. If his administration messes with us how many people would lose legal jobs in the industry?
I know that most of you guys don't agree with me about our response to the "Redneck General", Sessions, but sometimes militancy is the answer.If these feds feel that their "war" against us would be protracted, and a threat to their security, they will back down.
>>>California can also wield political clout given that the state has the largest delegation in Congress. That power was exercised when Reps. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Costa Mesa) and Sam Farr (D-Carmel) coauthored a rider to the federal budget that has for the last two years prohibited federal funds from being used to prosecute medical marijuana businesses that are in compliance with state laws.Congress will extend this law to all state-legal cannabis, and banking will be allowed, BEFORE Sessions is even confirmed as AG....if he's confirmed at all.


We didn't know what to expect when Southington's Committee of Chairs first met last December. The town was scrambling to address a $5 million hole in the budget. The finger pointing was already in full swing between boards. We were already beginning to see soapboxing, positioning, and lines being drawn between town leaders.
In retrospect, the pilot program couldn't have come at a better time. In the months leading up to the first meeting, there was already a fight between the Board of Education and the Town Council, and at the core of the argument was a lack of communication. Town Councilors were trying to force school officials to fall in line with their plan by a letter to the superintendent. BOE members were calling for a meeting between the council, the BOE, and the Board of Finance. Buckle up, we thought, here comes a political battle royale.
But that isn't what happened, and we credit the Council of Chairs for playing a big part in the debate. It's essentially a group with no power, but it serves as a public link between the government's major sectors. Each month, the group talks about the main challenges of the town. Chris Palmieri (D) represents the Town Council. Brian Goralski (R) represents the BOE. John Leary (R) represents the BOF, and Michael DelSanto (R) represents the Planning and Zoning Commission. They are joined by Town Manager Mark Sciota and Superintendent of Schools Timothy Connellan.
It's an open meeting, and even a few town residents have attended to weigh in. Paul Chaplinsky (R) from the PZC and Victoria Triano (R) from the council have both attended at least one meeting to join the discussion. The latest discussion on May 2 even included Southington Public Schools' director of business and finance Sherri DiNello who clarified the finances to see what was left to accomplish.
As for the $5 million hole, it had been cut to just $261,510 at the start of the meeting and trimmed to $74,510 by the time Leary finally drew the line in the sand, saying, "That's got to be the end-game." We really wanted to stand and cheer. We see no way that the town could have handled this mess (doled out by a lame duck governor) without the calm discussions on the Committee of Chairs.
So where do we go from here? It seems pretty clear that these public discussions can be a useful component as the town tries to deal with bigger problems and town-wide solutions, but it can also be a useful tool for proactive talks about town growth, big projects, and bureaucratic obstacles.
The only problem that we can foresee is a potential that all voices won't be heard in future discussions. For those keeping score of all the Rs and Ds above, it's easy to see that a party could easily lose its voice if Republicans or Democrats hold majorities on all the Southington boards. Republicans currently hold a 3-1 advantage in the forum, but if they began meeting before the previous election, there would have been no Democrats in the discussion at all.
Of course, anybody is able to attend and comment at a Committee of Chairs meeting, but we'd like to see it go even further. We'd like to see the minority leaders invited to the table to guarantee a bipartisan discussion. We think that the best way to promote a democratic process is to ensure that all people have a right to participate, make decisions, and lodge appeals regardless of party affiliation.
The current chairs have done a great job of keeping politics out of the discussion, but who knows what will happen over time or after the next election? A simple tweak could fix it before any problems arise. The more voices, the better.

Eine erste grobe Positionsbestimmung des Gletschers erfolgte anhand von Luftaufnahmen der United States Navy, die bei der Operation Highjump (1946–1947) im Dezember 1946 entstanden. Das Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names benannte ihn 1960 nach Leutnant Chester Frankenfield, Meteorologe und beteiligt an der Errichtung einer Wetterstation auf der Thurston-Insel bei der Forschungsfahrt der US Navy in die Bellingshausen-See im Februar 1960.

Tonight's Stella Christmas special definitely isn't a turkey (crown). Careful, there's spoilers!
There's panto, presents and a big life decision for Emma - here's what we thought about the festive episode

There's just one thing to say about tonight's Stella Christmas special.
Aunty Brenda.
Okay, that's two things really - but she made the one-off seasonal episode shine like a well-buttered turkey crown.
The character of Aunty Brenda (played magnificently by Di Botcher) is the type of character Ruth Jones writes brilliantly.
She's hilarious and, ultimately, familiar to anyone who grew up in the valleys – unlike the repeated use of the word "presh" or, look away now if you're of a sensitive nature,..."cocking" – she's got a heart of gold and a mouth like Ena Sharples on "roids".
Without giving too much away Aunty Brenda gets it into her head that the Pontyberry crew should put on a "pantomine" (that's pantomime to you and I) to win £5,000 for a charity of their choice.
Oh and do they put on a show!
Big Alan (Steve Spiers) Karl (Julian Lewis Jones) and Dai (Anthony O'Donnell) as the wicked stepmother and ugly sisters are truly a sight to behold and a fairy godmother is a tad more hirsute than usual and there's even a special guest star as panto crew!
Stella 2014 christmas special
The running joke of how rubbish turkey crowns are certainly struck a chord: "Crowns are for cowards Stella Morris, you should be ashamed," scorns Little Alan.
All the usual characters are back in the fold and a few new ones in the shape of Michael's (Patrick Baladi's) parents who are played by Eleanor Bron and Ian Lavender.
And apart from the panto fun and turkey crown chatter, Stella (Ruth Jones) befriends a patient at work and Emma receives a life-changing proposition.

St Teresa's Home for the Elderly in London asked Caterplan to fully refurbish their care home kitchen, following the submission of a competitive tender and design.
The project objective was a complete kitchen re-design which meant relocating the cooking area from the centre of the kitchen and maximising work flow and efficiency. This meant completely stripping out all the existing M & E services and installing new services to accommodate the new design.
Our scope of works also setting up a temporary kitchen, installing air conditioning, kitchen ventilation system, Altro floor and wall finishes and finally installing all of the new catering equipment.
The works were carried out to our programme and completed ahead of schedule to the clients complete satisfaction.
"We wish to write and thank you for our lovely new kitchen.
We found Caterplan on the internet along with others and invited all to forward an estimate. We chose your company due to your professional approach, competitive pricing and because you offered the complete refurbishment service without the need for us to find other tradesman or builders".
1. We wanted a first class job.
2. The workmen had to appreciate that we were a Home for the Elderly, and our priority is our residents safety. We hoped to minimise the disruption to all.
3. The work had to be finished in four weeks as per the programme of works.
"We received our first request- A First Class job, with great workmanship within the kitchen and high quality materials and products used".
"Our second request was minimum disruption, this was achieved as the workmen worked with the management, had great respect and understanding for our Residents. They were polite and accommodating at all times. This meant a great deal".
"Our final request was to finish in four weeks. This was paramount, as being a care home we needed to get "back to normal" as soon as possible. This request was fulfilled by Caterplan with the refurbishment actually being completed ahead of schedule and in record time, for which we are extremely grateful".
"Thank you for all your help and advice during this operation and your follow up calls since completion".

European / UK Tour 2023
There's an anxiety in life that comes from knowing there isn't anything to do but try to prepare for the inevitability of change. And sometimes the only thing that can make a drastic shift or an ending more difficult is to see it coming. On their seventh full-length, A Eulogy For Those Still Here, Counterparts set out to capture that surreal space in-between, and in the process pushed their sound to its greatest extremes to make their most definitive statement as a band.
"I think I deal with things by preparing myself for the end," explains vocalist Brendan Murphy. "When I notice something is wrong or something's up, I can't just wait for it to happen. I start catastrophizing and then sometimes I end up willing these things into existence. With so much of this record I'm mourning the loss of someone that's still alive or saying goodbye to something that hasn't left yet." Murphy's preoccupation with endings reaches wide, from relationships dissolving, to friendships fading, to loved ones passing away–and even to his band.
Since forming in 2007, Counterparts–made up of Murphy, guitarists Alex Re and Jesse Doreen, bassist Tyler Williams, and drummer Kyle Brownlee–have gone from the Hamilton, Ontario, underground to touring the world as hardcore heavyweights. But with 15 years already under their belts, Murphy couldn't help but consider a day where his well might run dry. "I started to think about what it would be like to write a record as if it would be our last, to try and make something that I knew I would be satisfied with if it was," the always candid singer explains. "I love this band, it's the most important thing I've ever done and I'm very fortunate to have it, but we put a lot into it and it's not the most sustainable way to live." Murphy's forthrightness is part of Counterparts' appeal, and it's earned them a loyal fanbase who have come to appreciate the unflinching honesty that's at the heart of everything the band does. "We're just totally transparent," Murphy says. "Almost to a fault. I don't hide how I'm feeling lyrically, I'll say whatever publically, there's just no secrets. So although there's some ambiguity with this record, I also think people will understand where we're coming from."
With these self-imposed high stakes, the band convened at Graphic Nature Audio with their longtime producer/engineer, Will Putney (Knocked Loose, Every Time I Die, Vein.fm) to make what would become A Eulogy For Those Still Here. In addition to Putney's reliable hand at the helm ("I can't think of anyone better than Will," Murphy laughs. "He's got a Grammy, he knows what he's doing!"), the album also sees the return of Doreen and Re. The two guitarists' roles in Counterparts date back to the band's earliest days and their return to the fold was a full circle moment. "It's been great to have Jesse and Alex fully back," Murphy says. "They were still contributing to a lot of writing even when they'd left, so it really feels like we're getting to pick up where we left off. It was the most collaborative writing process we've ever had for sure."
The resulting album feels like Counterparts have honed every element of their sound into its sharpest point, resulting in 11 of their most viscerally compelling songs to date. A Eulogy For Those Still Here kicks off with "Whispers of Your Death," a towering blast of frentic, metal-tinged hardcore that spins on a dime between soaring leads and vicious riffs, all while Murphy's eye-bulging roar lays out a meditation on preemptive grief. "My cat, Kuma, has been sick," he explains. "Even when the vet tells me he's doing ok, I think he's going to die. If he sneezes I go to the worst case scenario, and that's definitely the mindset I was in when I was writing these songs."
The theme reappears on tracks like "Flesh To Fill Your Wounds" or "Bound To Burn;" the former a rumination on fading love, while the latter explores the unexpected frustrations and pressures of pursuing a creative passion. Murphy's forthrightness continues on pummeling mid-album standout "Sworn To Silence." "The song is about my struggles with lyric writing," he says. "While we were in the studio, I found it extremely difficult to come up with new ways to convey how I feel. And I've grown increasingly frustrated with constantly tapping into some of the darkest points of my life. There were so many nights I spent face down on the floor trying to express my feelings through lyrics and wondering 'why am I doing this?' After this album was finished, I was obviously happy with my contributions, but sometimes I wonder how much longer I can keep this up." Yet Murphy's lyrics still cut to the core, like on the album's ominous title track, where he directly addresses his fears of impending loss. "A lot of these songs read as though I'm delivering the eulogy at a funeral even though the subject I'd written about was very much still alive–and also in attendance."
A Eulogy For Those Still Here comes to a close with "A Mass Grave of Saints," and as the song's earth-shaking aggression crashes into heartrending melody and atmosphere, Counterparts sound as if they're pouring every last ounce of themselves into the music. It's one of the most climactic songs the band have ever written, and offers a suitably jaw-dropping conclusion to a record that revolves around endings. But as the final wash of guitars slowly fades away, the song still feels like more of a question mark than a period. "All of these things I have are still a big part of my life but one day they won't be, and I don't want to be focusing on that instead of enjoying the time I have with them," says Murphy. "Maybe I'm saying goodbye preemptively but I think it's important to say goodbye while you can."


Based in Laguna Beach and Napa, California, the Contursi family's foundation is built on the values of integrity, honesty, and hard work. It all started when Steve Contursi was a paperboy to help support his single mother while using the remainder of his proceeds to collect coins. This early childhood hobby fueled Steve's passion for owning a tangible piece of American History. As a teenager, Steve learned how to arbitrage professional coin dealers in The Bronx, where he grew up. Steve borrowed $5,000 over 40 years ago to open his first coin shop, and since then has parlayed his childhood hobby into one of the most well-respected rare coin firms in the world. Steve and his wife Seanne's other passion is food and wine. In the early stages of their romance in the mid-1980s, the couple travelled through Bordeaux and fell in love with the culture of phenomenal food and wine. Since then, they have fulfilled their dream of producing world class wine in Napa Valley. While primarily focused on their two core operating businesses, the Contursi family is actively networking with other multi-generational families to learn best practices and explore future opportunities for co-investment.
With over 50 years of combined experience and $2+ billion in rare coin transactions, the Contursi family is a world-renowned leader in acquiring, managing, and selling historic, irreplaceable United States rare coins.
Michael Contursi enlisted in the United States Air Force after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. After four years of honorable service, he joined his family's business in 2006. Michael has positioned RCW to selectively offer access to his family's knowledge and expertise for a limited number of families who share similar values and investment philosophies.
The multi-generational family firm's long-term strategy focuses on rare coins as an asset class, providing opportunities for wealth preservation, privacy, and efficient transfer of wealth.
Steve and Seanne Contursi sought out their vineyard with an eye to producing top-quality Bordeaux blend wines from Napa Valley. In 2007, they purchased the organic estate vineyard from renowned winemaker Tony Soter.
James Suckling's "The Top 100 Wines of 2016" lists Arrow & Branch's 2013 Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Cabernat Sauvignon at #63.
Found on the reverse of most U.S. coinage is an eagle holding an olive branch and arrows in its talons. The olive branch signifies the United States as a peace-loving nation, while the arrow portrays the country's ability to defend itself if that peace or freedom should ever be compromised. The name Arrow & Branch is a nod to the Contursi's success in the rare coin business as well as homage to Americana.

Three Minn. nominees recently accepted for USDA veterinary loan repayment

WILLMAR - Veterinarians are critical to America's food safety and food security, plus the overall health and well-being of both animals and humans. Major studies indicate significant and growing shortages of food supply veterinarians, and veterinarians serving in certain other high-priority specialty areas.
An identified leading cause for the veterinarian shortages is the cost of completing four years of professional veterinary medical training, which according to the latest American Veterinary Medical Association survey can average more than $150,000.
To address both the shortage of veterinarians in identified areas and the increased cost for schooling and training, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has implemented the Veterinary Medicine Loan Repayment Program.
Authorized by the National Veterinary Medical Science Act of 2003 and administered by USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture, the program provides student loan repayment benefits to annually selected program applicants from areas of the country with identified veterinarian shortages or special needs.
In return for committing three years of veterinary services in a designated veterinary shortage or specialty area, successful program applicants may receive up to $25,000 of student loan debt repayment per year.
Benefits are limited to payments of the principal and interest on government and commercial loans received for attending an American Veterinary Medical Association-accredited college of veterinary medicine, resulting in a degree of doctor of veterinary medicine or equivalent.
Since loan repayments are considered taxable income, included in the award is a federal tax payment equal to 39 percent of the loan payment. This amount is made directly to the award recipient's IRS tax account to offset the increase in income tax liability.
The Veterinary Medicine Loan Repayment Program has updated online information regarding the nominations awarded for the 2013 funding cycle.
Minnesota submitted six veterinarian shortage nominations for 2013, five of which were approved by USDA. Furthermore, three of the five approved nominations were awarded to program applicants.
Two of the awards were for full-time food animal veterinarians in central and southwestern Minnesota. The third award was for a veterinary pathology shortage at the Minnesota Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory.
The process for the 2014 funding cycle will begin in late December with the request for nominations from state veterinarians in each state. In January, the Minnesota Board of Animal Health will begin drafting new nominations.
If you believe your area has a shortage of food animal veterinarians, or there are recent veterinary graduates practicing in the area that would benefit from USDA's loan repayment program, please contact Linda Glaser from the Minnesota Board of Animal Health at 651-201-6828.

USDA announces 7.2 percent reduction in FSA payments due to sequester
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has announced that farmers who participate in the Farm Service Agency's programs should plan accordingly for an automatic spending reduction, known as sequester, during the 2014 fiscal year.
The Budget Control Act of 2011 mandates that federal agencies implement automatic, annual reductions to discretionary and mandatory spending limits. For mandatory programs, the sequestration rate for the 2014 fiscal year is 7.2 percent.
The Farm Service Agency will be implementing sequestration for the following programs: Marketing Assistance Loans, including the Sugar Loan Program; Loan Deficiency Payments; Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program; 2013 Counter-cyclical Payment Program; 2013 Average Crop Revenue Election Payment Program; 2012 Supplemental Revenue Assistance Program and the Dairy Indemnity Payment Program.
Conservation Reserve Program payments are specifically exempt by statute from sequestration. Therefore, CRP payments will not be reduced.
The announced sequestration percentage reflects current law estimates. However, with continuing budget uncertainty, Congress still may adjust the exact percentage reduction. The Farm Service Agency will provide notification as early as practicable on the specific payment reductions.
Minn. confirms second case of epizootic hemorrhagic disease
Epizootic hemorrhagic disease was reported for the first time in Minnesota in 2012 when it was found in one cow in Brown County. This year, a second case was reported in October in a cow in Murray County.
The herd veterinarian examined the cow, collected a blood sample that tested positive for the strain of epizootic hemorrhagic disease that continues to be found in cattle and deer in South Dakota.
The disease is a viral infection of ruminant animals that is most commonly seen in white-tailed deer and transmitted by insect vectors. However, sickness and death in cattle is seen infrequently.
Reported clinical signs in cattle include dehydration, lethargy, a "crusty muzzle" and drooling.
Affected animals often have extensive muzzle and mouth sores which are likely painful and the reason why they avoid drinking or eating. Some animals may have lesions on their teats.
Because of its reappearance this year, Minnesota Board of Animal Health officials announced that Minnesota may see occurrences of the disease more frequently in the future.
Wes Nelson is executive director of the USDA Farm Service Agency in Kandiyohi County.

Anthony Joshua is to set up camp in Miami five weeks before his world heavyweight title defence against Jarrell Miller and will be based just 30 miles from the American's training base.
Promoter Eddie Hearn believes Joshua is planning a quick knockout in his first fight in America and will leave nothing to chance by ensuring he has extensive warm-weather preparations.
The pair meet at Madison Square Garden in New York on June 1 and Miller is training in Fort Lauderdale, just to the north of Miami.
Joshua, the WBA, IBF and WBO champion, is seeking to make a big impact on his US debut.
He has prepared for his major British fights at the low-key Institute of Sport in Sheffield, where he was also based as an amateur.
But Hearn and manager Rob McCracken want to make sure he is perfectly acclimatised for the differing boxing and publicity set-up in the US ahead of the clash with unbeaten Miller.
Hearn said: "So much will be different and new for AJ. It's not just about the five-hour time difference.
"It's about the rules, the gloves, the way the commission works in New York and the way they want hands wrapped over there.
"It's about the changing rooms at the venue, the ring walk and how all the publicity and press conferences will work in a fight week which will be huge and very noisy.
"So the aim is to get well settled in with plenty of time in advance and to have a great camp before going to New York for the build-up and the fight.
"We can't just turn up at Madison Square Garden and walk out like we would at Wembley.
"Miller will be based in Florida too, which could be interesting. He's had a lot to say already and will surely cause a lot of commotion as the fight gets nearer.
"AJ wants to knock him out quickly. Miller gets hit a lot early on and Anthony wants to take advantage of that. That would make a big impression on his first fight in America.
The brash 23-stone Miller, 30, shoved Joshua on stage at a press conference in New York in February and the pair have traded insults – a rare departure for the laid-back 29-year-old from Watford.
Hearn insists that Joshua has stifled the critics who claimed the clash with Miller would be unchallenging – after his major heavyweight rivals Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury abandoned plans for a rematch to take more low-key contests instead.
American WBC champion Wilder is to make a mandatory defense against Dominic Breazeale – who was knocked out by Joshua in 2016 – in Brooklyn on May 18.
Manchester's Fury will meet little-known German Tom Schwarz in Las Vegas on June 15 in the first installment of an $100/£80million, five-fight deal with US TV giant ESPN.
Huge sums are being poured into boxing by American subscription and digital broadcasters in a battle to win ratings for new viewing platforms – and Fury is already a major beneficiary.
Wilder has continued his partnership with the broadcaster Showtime.
The bitter irony for many fans is that the TV bonanza has wrecked for now any idea of the three leading heavyweights meeting in any permutation of fights – because each has a separate deal with rival broadcasters.
Hearn added: "Some people mocked the Miller fight. But after everything that was said, it's the biggest heavyweight date of the year so far.
"It's certainly better and bigger than Wilder v Breazeale. And it's a hell of a lot bigger and better than Fury v Schwarz.
"AJ knocked out Breazeale in his 17th fight. And he had glandular fever on the night. Wilder is meeting him in his 42nd fight. What a difference.
The battle for viewers in the US has also led to DAZN handing a $360/£275m deal to middleweight superstar Saul "Canelo" Alvarez and a $210/£160m package to his rival Gennady Golovkin.
Hearn added: "Boxing is on the up again in America.
"There is huge money pouring from the new viewing set-up in the US.
