Dirucotide Does Not Meet Primary Endpoint In Phase III MAESTRO-01 Trial In Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) and BioMS Medical Corp. (TSX: MS) announced that dirucotide did not meet the primary endpoint of delaying disease progression, as measured by the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), during the two-year MAESTRO-01 Phase III trial in patients with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS). In addition, there were no statistically significant differences between dirucotide and placebo on the secondary endpoints of the study.

The data also showed that dirucotide was generally well tolerated. There were no unexpected safety or tolerability issues. The most common side effect reported was injection site reaction. More details of the MAESTRO-01 study results are expected to be presented at a medical conference later this year. ... full report in Medical News Today

MS Society Responds To Debbie Purdy Ruling - Clarification On The Law Of Assisted Suicide, UK

The MS Society has responded to today's Law Lords ruling concerning the case of Debbie Purdy, who has sought clarification on the law of assisted suicide.

Debbie, 46, who was diagnosed with Primary Progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) in 1995, wanted to be assured that her husband would not be prosecuted on his return to the UK, if he accompanies her to the Dignitas clinic in Switzerland.

It is now thought that the Law Lords will ask the Director of Public Prosecutions to set out when prosecutions would happen.

Simon Gillespie, Chief Executive of the MS Society, said: "Debbie Purdy's victory has pushed MS into the spotlight but there is far more to living with MS - even in its more severe forms - than planning how to die. "

There are 100,000 people with MS across the UK and most will live about as long as any of us. The key to living well with MS is access to the right care and support, including palliative care when it's needed.

"Most palliative care resources are focused on cancer and cases like this show why the Government's end of life care strategy is so important." ... full report in Medical News Today

Cognitive Testing, Gender And Brain Lesions May Predict MS Disease Progression Risk

Cognitive testing may help people with inactive or benign multiple sclerosis (MS) better predict their future with the disease, according to a study published in the July 29, 2009, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. Gender and brain lesions may also determine the risk of progression of MS years after diagnosis.

By current definition, people with benign MS are those who remain "fully functional" after 15 or more years from disease onset. However, people with benign MS occasionally develop renewed disease activity or progression, and can experience severe symptoms. .... full report in Medical News Today

Jeff  Stoutland

New York, N.Y.

Offensive Line

Jeff Stoutland begins his seventh year as offensive line coach at Michigan State.

During his tenure, Stoutland has helped develop five All-Big Ten selections: guard Shaun Mason (second team, 2000), tackle Steve Stewart (second team, 2003), guard Joe Tate (second team, 2003), tackle Sean Poole (first team, 2004) and guard William Whitticker (second team, 2004).

In addition, seven of his offensive linemen have earned Academic All-Big Ten honors, including Mason (2000), Tate (2001), guard Paul Harker (2002-03), center Chris Morris (2002-03-04-05), tackle Gordon Niebylski (2002-03-04-05), guard Pete Clifford (2004-05) and tackle Mike Gyetvai (2004). In 2005, Morris garnered ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America Second-Team honors.

Morris anchored the offensive line for one of the NCAA's most prolific offenses in 2005. The Spartans ranked among the NCAA leaders in all four offensive categories: No. 20 in rushing offense (201.8 yards per game), No. 11 in passing offense (school-record 295.5 ypg.), No. 5 in total offense (school-record 497.3 ypg.) and No. 18 in scoring offense (33.8 points per game). Morris, who earned Midseason All-America honors from SI.com, graded out 96 percent or higher in all 11 games in 2005 and became a seventh-round selection by the Oakland Raiders in the 2006 National Football League Draft.

In 2004, Poole became only the second offensive lineman in Big Ten history to earn conference Player of the Week honors after Michigan State amassed 430 yards on the ground in a 49-14 victory over fourth-ranked Wisconsin.

Michigan State displayed a vastly improved running attack in 2004, thanks largely to the speedy development of an offensive line that returned just two starters from the 2003 season. The Spartans ranked second in the Big Ten and No. 10 in the NCAA in rushing, averaging 238.5 yards per game. That marked an improvement of 141 yards per game from 2003. The 2,862 rushing yards also marked the sixth-best single-season total in school history. In Big Ten play, Michigan State rushed for a league-best 265.8 yards per game. The Spartans recorded eight 200-yard rushing games in 2004, including a streak of five-straight games during one stretch (Indiana, Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota and Michigan).

In 2004, Stoutland instructed an offensive line that permitted the fewest sacks in the Big Ten, allowing only eight in 399 passing attempts.

He also coached former center Brian Ottney, who earned the Up Front Award as MSU's outstanding interior offensive lineman in 2001-02, becoming only the second repeat recipient in the 28-year history of the trophy. Former All-American Tony Mandarich won the award three-straight years from 1986-88.

Stoutland's offensive line helped pave the way for T.J. Duckett, who produced back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons in 2000 and 2001. Duckett, the No. 18 pick overall in the 2002 NFL Draft by the Atlanta Falcons, rushed for 1,420 yards in 2001 - the fifth-best single-season total in Spartan history.

The 44-year-old Stoutland spent three seasons under Paul Pasqualoni at Syracuse (1997-99), where he coached the tight ends his first two years before taking over the offensive line in 1999. In addition to his coaching duties, he also served as the Orangemen's recruiting coordinator for all three years.

Stoutland helped Syracuse to a combined record of 24-13 (.649), including three-straight bowl appearances. In 1999, he coached first-team All-Big East offensive tackle Mark Baniewicz, who also earned the National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete Award and GTE Academic All-America honors. During his stint as tight ends coach, Stoutland helped produce two NFL players, including Roland Williams (Oakland Raiders) and Kaseem Sinceno (Philadelphia Eagles, 1998-99; Chicago Bears, 2000).

Stoutland previously spent four years as offensive line coach at Cornell (1993-96). Former Big Red center Greg Bloedorn, who earned first-team All-Ivy League honors in 1995, spent three years with the NFL's Seattle Seahawks (1997-99).

His full-time coaching credits include two stints at his alma mater, Southern Connecticut State, where he served as offensive coordinator for five years (1988-92) and coached inside linebackers for two seasons (1984-85).

The New York City native also served as a graduate assistant for Coach Dick MacPherson for two years at Syracuse (1986-87), working primarily with the offensive line.

Stoutland was a four-year letterman and three-year starter at inside linebacker for Coach Kevin Gilbride at Southern Connecticut State (1980-84), where he earned Little All-America honors as a senior while acting as team captain.

He earned a bachelor's degree in physical education from Southern Connecticut State in 1984 and received a master's degree in exercise physiology from the school in 1986.

Stoutland and his wife, Allison, who authors children's books, have two children: Jake (11) and Madison (9).

Another Day in Paradise

We returned to our favorite spot for one last hurrah before our routine changes for the new season. We were there in July, but fall was definitely in the air today. I planned to take just a few photos and then finish up the ones from July and post them all together. Plans never go… quite as planned. Ha! So I’ll just post today’s pictures.

The beach was covered with these rock stacks when we arrived. They were quite the statement! And, really? There is no more perfect place for Zen rock stacking, with the creek sounds, lush ferns, and the light streaming through trees.

My boys knocked down quite a few. I told them it was better to build than to destroy, so they made their own contributions.

Luke, always looking for action, built his in the water:

We start our first week of Classical Conversations tomorrow morning! Wish us luck.

Gorgeous photos as always! I love the cairn stacks. We are always finding them at the river we go to and we attempt to build them as well. Mine never end up as tall as some I see. But they are great fun to build none the less.

We started back last week and this is our first time following a classical style. I love it and I want to thank you for posting such great resources on your blog. It has been a big help to me.

A Song A Day – We Shall Overcome

we-shall-overcomeWe start off with a song that is famous as the face of the US Civil Rights Movement, We Shall Overcome. As is the case with most folk songs, the origins of this song are also majorly murky. Originating from the gospel traditions of both blacks and whites in the late 1800s, the first appearance of We Will Overcome in print was in 1901 and is attributed to Rev. Charles Tindley of Philadelphia, a man credited to composing over 50 hymns and lyrics. A more recent development of the song began in 1946 when Lucille Simmons, on strike against the American Tobacco Company, sang a slow version of We Will Overcome on a picket line. From here it passed on to folk singer Pete Seeger, famous as founder of The Almanac Singers and later The Weavers. Pete claims to have changed the lyric from We Will to We Shall, and also added some other verses.

Subsequently the song was taken up as the anthem of the Civil Rights Movement. Another folk singer, Joan Baez, helped bring the song to a wider audience through her participation in marches and most importantly the 1969 Woodstock festival (The same Joan Baez whose rendition of Blowin’ In The Wind features in Forrest Gump). Lyndon Johnson used the phrase in his address of Congress on March 15, 1965 after attacks on Civil Rights activists. Martin Luther King Jr. used the phrase in his last speech before assassination. In India the song or rather the tune gained mileage when Hum Honge Kaamyaab, a Hindi translation of the song by renowned poet Girija Kumar Mathur became popular, particularly in schools. School-goers from the 80s would invariably have sung this song on some occasion or the other! The song also started making lot of appearances in popular culture. One prominent instance that I can recollect is the cult comedy Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro. A Bengali translation was also made, by Bengali folk singer Hemanga Biswas and later re-recorded by Bhupen Hazarika, by the name Amra Karbo Joy. More recently in 2006, Bruce Springsteen released an album We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions which featured his version of the song among other 14 songs by Pete Seeger. The album also notched up that year’s Grammy for the Best Traditional Folk Album.

One might think that over time the song is slowly being forgotten, but that is hardly the case as can be seen from the way banners featuring “We Have Overcome” were raised when Obama got elected. There could hardly have been an expression better describing such a historic occasion! Over the years, We Shall Overcome, in short, has remained just that – a non-belligerent expression of suffering and determination. Check out the videos below and I am sure you would find the song still capable of giving you that feeling of elation and inspiration. And on the eve of the Independence Day, that is indeed one feeling that you should be having.

Composers' Note:

Water is a lover's tears, an unquenchable thirst, a fight for survival, a prayer for rain. Our piece Water is a meditation on the poetry of water: what it means to have it, how we misuse it, and how we struggle for it. Rain falls. Tears flow. A skull is found in a river. A man thirsts.

Water is an exploration through music, staging and projection of how dependent we are upon water in our world, and how uneasy our dependence really is. Much of our dependence is of course physical; at the same time, the hope for water, or the lack of it, can be a spiritual construct as well. Our piece explores the water we have and the water we need, the water we control and the water that controls us.

We have always lived with water in a kind of fragile equilibrium. We have too much. We have none. A rich man calls for ice in his water, next to a poor man who thirsts. It is a precarious balance, between blessing and curse, between life and death, between plenty and scarcity.

— Michael Gordon, David Lang, Julia Wolfe

I just spent almost an hour collecting links and carefully crafting a new post, only to have my browser crashed by a lousy vegan food site. I was going to tell you all about this fabulous new chocolate I found. But wow, what a mood killer.

Let's try again, but pithier.

If you haven't had these chocolates, you had better get off your ass and try them:

Cote d'Or Noir de Noir
Venchi 75%
Green & Black's Maya Gold
Charles Chocolates Hazelnut and Candied Orange Peel
Endangered Species Rainforest Mint  (No link because the fucking hippies only sell by the dozen, except for the vegan site which crashed my browser and destroyed the first (and Better) version of this post)

The Charles Chocolates bar is very special. It's a new thing, made here in SF. It's more "candy" than I normally like, but it's very well executed, has beautiful packaging and would make a great gift, especially for out of town friends and relatives. So far you can't buy them online, but maybe soon?

Town Council approves United Soils Management’s Permit Application

Lee Sand & Gravel Pit site circa 1950 prior to excavations

Lee Sand and Gravel Pit Restoration Project will be returned to the way it was in this circa 1950 photo thanks to efforts by United Soil Management and the Town of Stouffville

United Soils Management’s  Fill Permit application to restore the Lee Sand & Gravel Pit back to farmland with a woodlot was approved by Town Council on Tuesday, December 3rd. We will gradually be saying good-bye to the hole in the ground and hello farmland.

We must thank United Soils Management for taking all possible measures to ensure that the Lee Sand & Gravel Pit Restoration Project will have minimum daily impact on the community and virtually no impact on weekends. Mr. Alec Cloke, his team of experts and the Town Staff are all to be commended for working together diligently to develop a very comprehensive set of rules governing the restoration of a pit operation.

Anyone who has had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Alec Cloke owner of United Soils management knows this is a man of his word whose commitment to the communities in which he carries out his business is nothing short of amazing.

Here is just a partial list of organizations and events that United Soils graciously sponsors in our community. They include Food Bank, The Legion, Local skating club, Local Hockey, Winter Carnival, and the Fall Fair. In addition they sponsor at least four contests a year for kids that require them to think about Canada and/or their families.

In conclusion United Soils Management is not only setting the Gold Standard in Pit Restoration but also the Gold Standard in being a great corporate citizen. In other words a great addition to our community.

Falcons plotting another move up in the draft?

The last media look inside the Falcons’ draft nerve center was a few years back, but is still relevant.

There was an 80-inch television on the wall facing general manager Thomas Dimitroff’s desk. He said he, Scott Pioli and others often watched tape of a player on that screen.

There was a 60-inch touch-screen draft board, on which Dimitroff can access scouting reports and contract information on every player on every team, as well as depth charts for every team.

The long wall in Dimitroff’s office had an old-school draft board. Player names, dimensions and bios are on magnets and hang in order of ranking. There are separate columns for 11 positions.

While it’s not exactly a top-100 ranking of prospects, Dimitroff noted to AJC columnist Jeff Schultz, that he could tell who was still available during the draft just by looking at the top of the board.

The defending NFC champion Falcons, who have the 31st pick in the first round, are doing their final shuffling of the board for the draft, which is scheduled for April 27-29 in Philadelphia.

“Atlanta is sitting in an interesting situation down at the bottom of the first round,” NFL Network analyst Bucky Brooks said. “A lot of what is going to be available to them will depend upon what others decide to do at defensive end and outside linebacker.”

The Falcons don’t believe that they have many holes and will have the opportunity to select the best player available. However, much of the pre-draft discussion has been about addressing the need for another pass rusher or a right guard to replace veteran Chris Chester, who retired.

“I officially believe the best player available is the way to go,” said Daniel Jeremiah, a former NFL scout and NFL Network draft analyst. “Now, to me, what you do, then, in that case, if you want to match up your need with best player available, is move around on the board, trade out of there if you want to get more value, or trade up if you want to get somebody that fits that need.”

Dimitroff has traded up to fill needs before to land left tackle Sam Baker in 2008, wide receiver Julio Jones in 2011 and cornerback Desmond Trufant in 2013.

The Falcons could be plotting another move up in the draft. They worked out two defensive ends, Tennessee’s Derek Barnett and UCLA’s Takkarist McKinley, who project to be long gone before their first-round pick.

“(Teams must) make sure (they’re) watching the value and the need together,” said Jeremiah, who was a scout with Ravens, Browns and Eagles. “I think you get in big trouble when you end up passing on great players at other positions to take good players at a position that you need right now. I mean, you can go back and look, there’s examples every single year.”

Last season, Miami selected tackle Laremy Tunsil with the 13th pick.

“They didn’t have a glaring need at the tackle position, but they had a player they felt like could be a premier left tackle in the NFL,” Jeremiah said. “He kind of fell into their lap. Instead of going to a different position of need, they took what I thought was one of the best players in the NFL Draft at tremendous value.”

There is a rule in scouting and drafting circles: “You don’t pass up great players for good players,” said Brooks, who played five seasons in the NFL. “You take the best available player at your selection, then you try to find a way to make it work.”

The Falcons have six picks in the draft. They don’t have their sixth-round pick, which went to Tennessee in the Andy Levitre trade. The Falcons are expected to address their pass rush at some juncture in the draft.

“Because of the scheme, what they currently have with Vic Beasley, you would like to think they need more of a traditional base defensive end that has pass-rush ability,” Brooks said. “When you look at the board, what could be available to them at the bottom of the first round, you think maybe (Michigan defensive end) Taco Charlton.”

Outside of the first round, the Falcons could select Ohio defensive end Tarell Basham, Florida Atlantic’s Trey Hendrickson or Texas A&M’s Daeshon Hall, Brooks said.

“If they’re looking for a guy that is more in the mold of Vic Beasley, kind of an outside linebacker that has the ability to maybe rush on third downs, (Wisconsin defensive end) T.J. Watt would have an opportunity to be in the conversation, (Alabama linebacker) Tim Williams, (Alabama linebacker) Ryan Anderson and (defensive end) Derek Rivers from Youngstown State. There (are) some intriguing possibilities.

“It’s a matter of what does Dan Quinn wants to do with his defense and how does he want to compliment his No. 1 rusher in Vic Beasley.”

It’s not a good year for the Falcons to try to find a starting offensive lineman in the draft.

“I talked to an offensive line coach this week who said this is the worst offensive line class that he’s seen in 15 years,” Jeremiah said. “I started in ’03, I go back to there and it’s not a good group of offensive linemen.”

Alabama’s Cam Robinson, Wisconsin’s Ryan Ramczyk, Utah’s Garett Bolles, Indiana’s Dan Feeney and Western Kentucky’s Forrest Lamp are considered the top offensive linemen in the draft.

The Falcons have heavily scouted Lamp and worked out Bolles in Salt Lake City.

“The offensive line depth in this draft probably isn’t as good as it has been,” said Kevin Colbert, Pittsburgh’s vice president and general manager. “Traditionally, interior lineman, for whatever reason, guards and centers — there’s never a great number.”

Good Italian food, but it is not cheap.  Manzetti’s does have a pretty good salad but the cheapest you can get out of there is the $9 burger. Any Italian food will run you $15+.

The name Tiramisu is from Italian and means "pick me up" (Tirami su) but can be translated figuratively as "make me less sad/happier".

1. Prepare a strong espresso coffee, about 2 cups. Let the coffee cool at room temperature.

2. Beat the egg yolks until they become light and fluffy. Then beat in the sugar and marsala.

3. Transfer the bowl to a pan of simmering water, and whisk until the mixture becomes thick. The zabaglione will thicken just before it boils.

4. Cream the mascarpone - this is easier if you have taken the marscapone out of the fridge and left at room temperature for a while.

5. Add the zabaglione to the mascarpone, beat to mix very well.

6. Whip the cream and then fold the cream into the zabaglione–marscapone mixture until smooth.

7. Now for the fun bit....Lightly soak the savoiardi in the coffee, one at a time. Place them in one layer in a container of approx (30 x 20 cm), approximately 4 cm deep). Spoon half of the zabaglione cream over the ladyfingers then repeat the step with a second layer of ladyfingers, and top with the rest of the cream.

Right there is a difference of opinion here

8a. Sprinkle with the cocoa powder and refrigerate for about 3 – 4 hours.

8b. Sprinkle with cocoa prior to serving.

I prefer 8a :-)

Double Cream 1 Cup
Marscapone 450g
Marsala Wine ½ Cup
Sugar ½ Cup
Egg Yolks (large) 4
Espresso (or Really Strong) Coffee 2 Cups
Savoiardi (lady Fingers) 285g
Cocoa Powder 3 Tbsp

Hi Watchman,

Do you think I can replace lady fingers by digestives biscuits?

Hmmm well given the amount of digestives that I have dunked in my coffee and lost they certainly seem to be able to absorb the liquid and go soggy so i'd say so long as there are enough then maybe - it would make a sweeter dessert, and not sure how the texture would be (grainly???) - but if you dont like the lady fingers why not give it a go....
Hi Watchman - to save on calories do you think you could substitute the cream with greek yoghurt? Would really cut down on the fat content (trying to shed the winter/Christmas pounds!!!)
Jail Bird!
Me again! Also do you think low fat cream cheese instead of mascapone would work?? Got to be worth a try don't you think?!
Jail Bird!
Hmmm - low fat tirimisu....

I dont think greek yogurt would work as its not going to have the consistency. Low fat cream cheese i think howeverwould be a more feasible alternative.Something like Quark would also work i think and its fat-free I Think.

My post christmas plan is soup centered :)

Cyprus, Greece and Egypt Increase Cooperation

Cyprus, Greece and Egypt have pledged to increase their political and economic cooperation for the benefit of their people and the wider region.

At a tripartite summit President Nicos Anastasiades, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi signed the Nicosia Declaration, a three-way framework agreement reaffirming their shared conviction that the discovery of significant hydrocarbon reserves can and must act as a catalyst for broader cooperation on a regional level.

The three countries agreed to explore all possibilities to further enhance the synergies among their economies, with a view to creating a more positive environment for growth, to tackle the challenges of a rapidly changing international economic situation and to jointly benefit from important opportunities arising in the region.

They also agreed to continue working together in the tourism sector with a view to facilitating and enhancing cooperation on joint projects, including the development of joint packages and cruises, the sea connection between the three countries, as regards both cargo and passengers, and initiating co-operation on maritime education and training.

How to Trim a Beard with Scissors

Tweezerman His Moustache Scissors with Comb

Last updated: 8th June 2017

Ok – there are two probably scenarios here…

Having a good trimmer is the most important thing in having a good looking beard. Here’s a scenario: your trusty electric shaver has broken down (need a new one?), given up the ghost, gone to service the great bearded one in the sky. You need to trim quickly but how can you without your tool? It is times like these that remind you it is necessary to know how to trim a beard with scissors.

When presented with this situation, don’t fret gent, it will ruin your casual yet relaxed disposition. Fine men such as yourself have been sporting exceptional facial hair for much longer than the beard trimmer has been around. You of all people should know to respect technology, but not to place all of your resourcefulness in it. Grab a scissors and get to work.

RECOMMENDED PRODUCT: Tweezerman His Moustache Scissors with Comb

Tweezerman His Moustache Scissors with CombHere at we whole-heartedly recommend the Tweeerman Mustache Scissors and Comb. They come in a pair and are the best on the market at the moment. It’s a beautiful bit of kit and is perfect for making sure you look good on the go. Yeah – if you own this high-quality scissors then you SHOULD carry it around with you on the go. You’re just that cool.

It is the best beard trimmer in our opinion (of the non-electric variety, of course). We actually asked our mate Mike to write a short review of the product, seeing as his moustache is a thing of beauty and his absolute pride and joy. We bought them for him for his birthday and gave him a month with them, and this is his review…

Right, let’s get started. As the guys said above (on my behalf) this a great combination. I got these for my birthday along with some Honest Amish balm and wow, it just makes looking good easy!

Scissors: They are super sharp and exacting. You won’t find yourself with a dull set of scissors, they’re absolute quality. What I also really like about them is that the finger holes are large and the quality of the steel itself makes you feel as if you’re holding on to a real thing of quality (which you are). The preciseness of the scissors have allowed me to change style frequently and overall, they just allow for me to trim my mustache really quickly, efficiently and easily. They are super nimble in the hand.

Comb: Again, it’s brilliant, and looks tasty! It’s very small, functional and perfect for a beard and mustache comb really. My mustache is usually pretty full and BIG and the comb works through this perfectly.

Conclusion: Overall, there’s no magic to these two products. They’re a wonderful set and I would recommend that any of you bros pick up. My only slight annoyance is that it doesn’t come with some sort of holder, but don’t let that deter you – just keep it in your inside blazer pocket!

Thanks for the birthday present dudes (although you DID get a review out of me).

If Mike’s endorsement wasn’t enough to convince you, head straight to Amazon to check user reviews.

PROTIP: Yes, sometimes beard trimmers do pack up and die, but it is always (ALWAYS) a sound investment to have a high quality pair of barber’s scissors in your travel/wash bag. Any proper beard enthusiast will carry one.

The second scenario is that you’re just not into beard trimmers at all. While we do understand that some of you are proper cavemen who like to do things the old-fashioned way (old-fashioned, you say?) but we must say that although you can make your beard look breathtaking with a scissors, it’s a big investment in time using this method over and over again, and perhaps you should rethink your attitude on beard trimmers.

Hup ya pup – scissors time!

Back in the day (we’re talking as far back to the GREEKS, let alone the Romans) people had beards. Just take a look at some of the portraits or sculptures of these dudes. They had immensely powerful beards. BY THE BEARD OF ZEUS.

Here’s Zeus

Going forward in time past the Greeks and Romans, and eventually beards became very neat and tidy. In fact, a lot more so than today, where a more rugged look is fashionable. These men of the past more than likely used a crude scissors or blade to make themselves look ravishing. Let’s follow in their footsteps as modern men and trim our beards with scissors every once in a while, perhaps whilst listening to your favourite symphony on vinyl, just for extra effect.

How to Trim a Beard With Scissors

Step 1: Wash Your Beard

Give that shrub a thorough wash. Whether it be just water (in that case make sure it’s lukewarm to avoid frizz), or with your beard soap that you bring everywhere with you, make sure to wash it carefully. Afterwards, dry it thoroughly and make sure it’s not wet in the middle (depending on how large your beard is). You can use a hair dryer if you want, but it’s not necessary and actually isn’t recommended by this gentleman (currently sporting a very tight beard but used to have a right bush that never reacted positively to the hair dryer).

Step 2: Comb Your Beard

If you have a comb with wide enough teeth, that great, use it, because it will also be used in the cutting process. If not, that’s fine, but when you’re learning how to trim a beard with a scissors, it’s easier to have a beard comb of some sort. Beard combs are a little softer and so will not agrivate your skin as badly as traditional combs.

Step 3: Combing Technique

Firstly, comb the hair downwards. As in, comb down the chin in the direction of the hair, and when that’s done, do it the other way. This should give it a slightly frizzy look where it protrudes more so than usual.

Step 4: Cutting Side One

Start at a particular side. Take your time here now, as definition and patience is key here. Draw the comb gently through the hair at an angle, nipping off the desired length of hair that comes through the teeth of the comb. Take note of the amount of hair that protrudes from the comb on the first cut because this is the length you will want to continue with in order to get an even trim.

The biggest issue with trimming a beard with a scissors is overcutting. I’ve done it many’s a time before, and so try to be mindful that you really don’t need to chop that much off if you’re just looking for something tidy. Take a modest amount off and follow on from that evenly on the side you’re working on.

When your first side is done, comb through it a few times as well as going through it gently with your fingers.

Step 5: Cutting Side Two

Repeat the process of side one. You should now have a tighter and tidier beard on both sides with the chin area noticeably a little longer and unkempt.

Step 6: Trimming the chin with a scissors

This requires a bit of time and patience, as it can be awkward. Comb against the hair, so that it is frizzing a bit, and repeat the process with the comb and scissors as you did on the sides. Once you’ve gotten the desired length cut, your beard should look tidy, neat and even throughout.

Step 7: Washing your Beard

After achieving the desired look, it’s important to wash the beard thoroughly once again to avoid having tiny hairs getting into your clothes, food or bed – or worse, somebody elses clothes food or bed!

Step 8: Mansteurise or use Beard Oil

Just for that finishing touch. We recommend this one. We also have a pretty comprehensive list of all the beard conditioners you will need.

Step 9: Look at that wonderful face

You’re welcome.

You now know how to trim a beard with scissors. It’s a vital skill as believe me when I say you WILL get caught out having to look sharp and tidy without your trimmer. If you can get this stuff down, then you’ll have a valuable new skill. You can thank us later.

Homeowner Died from Smoke Inhalation from March 2 Fire (PHOTOS)

Larry Joseph Pagliai, 71, whose Willow Lane home in Rockville was destroyed by fire March 2, died from smoke inhalation, according to an autopsy completed by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, Montgomery County police say.

The manner of death was ruled as accidental, police said.

Pagliai could not be accounted for during the fire, but a body was recovered from the home.

About 75 Montgomery County firefighters battled the fire, which was reported at 16100 Willow Lane at 10:15 p.m.

Firefighters arrived to find the house fully engulfed in flames, said Pete Piringer, spokesman for the Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service. The house was a complete loss, he said.

UPDATE: A body has been found at the site of the fire, Piringer said. The medical examiner is in the process of identifying the body. Fire investigators have not determined what started the blaze, he said.

snow day!

Hope you had an excellent holiday. It’s finally looking festive here. The first and likely last blizzard of the season arrived last night. The forecast said 21″ but we only got 12″. 50 mile an hour winds left us with bare spots and crazy 4′ drifts…

winter wonderland + construction zone = watch out!

Oh, in case you were wondering: yes, a foot of snow on top of the slippery, polypropylene thermal blankets on our construction zone makes for hazardous footing. The good news is that even though the patios are on hold until spring, we found an excellent use for the pond in the meantime…

pond of snow

Snow tunnels!

Hope you’re out there having fun, too!

Doctors to Be

Louisiana’s med schools keep up with the state’s pulse.

cheryl gerber and mike silva

Louisiana is fortunate to have three top-notch medical schools that provide the state with a supply of well-trained physicians. LSU Health Sciences Center has a medical school in New Orleans and one in Shreveport, while Tulane University School of Medicine is located in New Orleans. Together, they supply many of the medical professionals who give care to thousands of Louisiana residents.

For more than 175 years, Tulane University School of Medicine has played an integral role in the health and welfare of Louisiana. But for Dr. Benjamin Sachs, dean of the School of Medicine, the present is every bit as important as the past. He’s proud of the fact that for the second year in a row, the Association of American Medical Colleges ranked Tulane in the Top 3 medical schools in the country that have made a difference in their communities.

“We’re competing against every other medical school in the country,” says Sachs, who has been at his post for more than two years.

And the future looks equally bright. “We have over 10,000 applicants this year,” Sachs says. In fact, of all of the medical school applicants in the country, one in four applies to Tulane. Of those, 185 will be accepted. After graduation, these new doctors disperse throughout the country to do their residencies, but a quarter of the class remains in Louisiana, providing the region with many of its finest physicians.

For prospective students, one of the draws is the chance to be a part of what could be considered a revolution. “Our mission is to reform the health care system in this city and state,” Sachs says. The medical school has been at the forefront of a movement to do away with a centralized delivery system, under which thousands of poor and uninsured patients turned to a large charity hospital for health care. Emphasis now is on community-based clinics in such areas as eastern New Orleans, along with mobile health care and mental health units. Tulane has been recognized nationally for its efforts to deliver health care within the community, which makes for better continuity of care and more efficient delivery of services.

It’s especially remarkable that Tulane has made such progress just five years after Hurricane Katrina. “When I first came, New Orleans and Tulane were still on their knees post-Katrina, with deep financial problems,” Sachs says.

He had to recruit 21 senior physicians, including nine department chairs; renovate spaces; and rebuild the school’s research base. He gives credit to the men and women who returned after the storm –– physicians, nurses, professors –– “incredibly courageous people who could have gone anywhere [but] decided to come back.”

The medical school is also making radical changes in the way it teaches, Sachs says. The goal is to turn students into lifelong learners. In medicine, new discoveries make material obsolete so quickly that physicians have to be able to absorb new information at all points in their careers, he says. Too, doctors need to communicate well with their patients and educate them. The school is also undergoing a major renovation of its lab spaces.

Other new programs include the Tulane Rural Medical Education program to attract medical students who will practice in rural communities and small towns and the Tulane Accelerated Physician Training Program, a seven-year program that combines an accelerated two-year bachelor’s of science degree with a year of service in AmeriCorps and then four years of medical school.

As newly passed federal health care legislation begins to affect his profession, Sachs remains optimistic about the future. Medicine remains a calling, he says, and health care reform will increase the demand for physicians.

LSUHSC School of Medicine – New Orleans
In response to the country’s growing demand for physicians, LSU Health Sciences Center’s School of Medicine in New Orleans has ramped up admittance from 165 to 200. Well over 1,000 candidates apply annually, says Dr. Sam McClugage, associate dean for admissions, about 650 of whom are Louisiana residents. More than half of those who graduated from the program in May 2010 elected to do their residencies in Louisiana. Many of them will take their first job within 100 miles of where they did their residencies, a major boon to the state.

New federal health care legislation is expected to pour between 30 and 35 million uninsured or underinsured Americans into the medical marketplace, McClugage says, stepping up the demand for doctors even more.

In addition to the traditional four-year program, the medical school recently added a M.D./Ph.D. program, which includes a degree in public health. The Rural Scholar’s Track program identifies students who might be interested in practicing in rural parts of Louisiana and offers them tuition waivers in return for their commitment to practice for at least five years in underserved areas of the state.

Dr. Steve Nelson, dean of the medical college, says the school made a remarkable recovery from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, which saw hospitals like “big Charity” close and patients relocate. In November, the school received a full eight-year accreditation from the association that accredits medical schools. In addition, funding for research from the National Institutes of Health is higher than it has ever been and the school is attracting outstanding faculty members, Nelson says. At present, the school uses University Hospital, renamed LSU Interim Hospital, for training; a new 424-bed hospital is in the planning stages.

Nelson has been with the school for 26 years and became dean three years ago. He considers the school’s primary function to be supplying quality physicians to the state of Louisiana and says the number of LSU grads who remain in the state to practice accomplishes that goal.

LSUHSC School of Medicine – Shreveport
LSU Health Sciences Center’s School of Medicine in Shreveport graduated its first class in 1974. Students use the school’s University Hospital as their teaching hospital, and about half of each graduating class elects to do their residencies in Shreveport. Dr. Andrew Chesson, dean of the school of medicine, says that small classes –– the school admits about 118 students each year –– result in close relationships among students and faculty. “We have a friendly, interactive medical school,” he says.

During their final year, students at the Shreveport school learn to manage patient care using simulators. Students are also filmed as they interact with patients played by actors following a script. After watching the playback, students and professors discuss better ways of dealing with common scenarios –– telling parents their children are seriously ill, for example. Care is taken to teach students to become teachers themselves, Chesson points out, so they will be able to explain to their patients the best methods of dealing with chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension.

Like those from Tulane and LSU New Orleans, Shreveport graduates go into many fields, Chesson says. The hope is that more will choose primary care, although it generally pays less than such specialties as cardiology and neurology. Many parts of Louisiana could benefit from having more primary care physicians, and the Shreveport medical school also has a program to encourage students to practice in rural areas.

Chesson says class size will remain stable at the Shreveport campus, both because of space limitations and because the smaller size allows for lots of one-on-one interaction among faculty and students. Medical school comes with lots of pressure and an intense learning schedule, and having the opportunity to meet with your professors in small group settings can relieve some of the strain.

BORA BORA, French Polynesia — It was just after 6 a.m. when the sound of a ship's horn awakened us. My husband, Jeff, and I looked at each other sleepily, then scrambled to our knees so we could look out the window above our bed. There it was in all its glory: a massive cruise liner that overwhelmed Bora Bora's western lagoon.

I felt sorry for the passengers.

If the cruise ship that visited the previous day was any indication, the passengers would have only one day here, and that wouldn't be enough. To see the island in all its splendor, you need time and you need to get out of Vaitape, the very spot they were about to encounter. I could only imagine their confusion when the reality didn't match the travel brochures' depiction of a tropical Eden.

Vaitape is a collection of tourist shops, low-key eateries and disheveled private residences along Bora Bora's main drag, a pothole-riddled road that circles the not-very-picturesque main island. Because French Polynesia is expensive, Jeff and I had decided to spend the first half of our April honeymoon in an affordable studio in Vaitape. That way, for the second half, we could splurge on a five-star resort on one of the motus, or islets, on the barrier reef that surrounds the turquoise lagoon at the heart of Bora Bora.

On the day of the cruise liner's visit, we took the advice of our host, a friendly Frenchman named Gerard who owns the Sunset Hill Lodge, and stayed away from the crowds.

We set out to kayak across the lagoon to one of the motus near the airport. It was just a 20-minute paddle across the deep part, “and then you can walk,” Gerard said. He was right, technically, but I soon discovered that walking in waist-deep water was much more tiring than hitching my kayak to Jeff's and leaning back to enjoy the views.

We didn't have the best weather that day, but here, away from the crowing roosters and barking dogs, Bora Bora is at its best. Even on a gray day the lagoon reveals its many shades of blue and the rich marine life just below the surface.

Lifestyle Channel

We returned to this area just a few days later on a lagoon tour. Simon, our guide, took the time to educate our group of seven about the lagoon's ecosystem, warning us not to disturb the marine life and to keep an eye on our fins so we wouldn't damage the coral around us.

The first stop on the tour was also going to be the highlight, if all went well. We stopped near an area frequented by manta rays on the eastern side of the main island. If we were lucky, we might spot one or two of the elusive creatures.

As we left the boat and swam to deeper water, Simon said: “Look straight down. Keep looking.” A few minutes went by as we all peered into the deep blue. Then he came up and yelled in a thick French accent, “Mohn-TA! Right below!” I still didn't see anything. “Three manta!” Simon yelled again. Then “four,” and ultimately “five! Woooooo-hoooo!” I started to panic. “This is what I came for,” flashed through my head, “and I'm going to miss it.”

Then I saw them. Two manta rays, gracefully circling below us, and three more deeper down. Just then, the group's matriarch decided to take a closer look at all these funny-looking creatures clad in bright colors. Mouth wide open, she slowly rose to about 10 feet below us, then dived back down. We all watched in silence, bobbing at the surface and taking in the show. It was magical.

On Sunday morning, while people in the church next door were singing hymns, Jeff and I were packing. The time had come to cross the lagoon to Motu Piti Aau and move into a fancy over-water bungalow at the InterContinental Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa.

Gerard dropped us off at the entrance to the InterContinental Le Moana, where we would take a shuttle boat to its sister resort, which locals call the Thalasso. The walk through the lobby and out onto the resort's private beach was like walking from one world into another. On one side, the less photogenic reality of Bora Bora's main island; on the other side, the fairy tale world of postcards come to life.

The Thalasso met all of our expectations and even exceeded some. They got it right from the minute we set foot on the dock. We were picked up by golf cart and driven to reception, where we were offered a seat with a view of Mount Otemanu as well as a chilled fruity beverage and a cold gardenia-scented washcloth. “Aaaaaah,” we both sighed, grinning from ear to ear. “We have arrived.”

The over-water bungalows, 1,010 square feet each, have identical layouts: a separate living room, bedroom, walk-in closet and large bathroom with tub and shower. Room prices increase as the view improves. Each bungalow has its own spacious shaded patio and a private pontoon with ladder for direct access to the lagoon.

At midday, the azure water looks its brightest, so we had arrived just in time for that visual treat. It couldn't have taken more than two minutes for us to find our swimsuits and jump in.

In general, Polynesians are friendly, so smiles greeted us everywhere we went. But if I had to choose one face that represented the warmth and friendliness extended to us, it would be Moana's, one of our therapists at the hotel's famed 43,000-square-foot Deep Ocean Spa.

Jeff had gone parasailing that morning, so he didn't think the day could get any better, but it was about to. Moana gave us a quick overview of the spa, then took me to one of three over-water couples treatment rooms. Jeff, who had booked a shorter treatment, was to follow a bit later.

For the next 90 minutes, I was in spa heaven, peering at the tropical fish through the window in the floor while Moana performed the Bora Bora Deep Blue massage, the spa's signature treatment. Afterward, Jeff and I enjoyed the spa's outdoor water features, including a deep-sea-water cold plunge pool that gave me a rush that's hard to describe.

We went to bed that night with a profound sense of well-being.

AUSTIN — U.S. Sen. John Cornyn preached the gospel of a big-tent GOP at a Friday rally for his re-election, saying Republicans must prove to voters that they can govern like “responsible adults.”

Cornyn has been bedeviled by some tea party activists who say he suffers in comparison to U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, who played a key role in the government shutdown as he urged an end to funding for the federal health care law.

The tactics championed by Cruz have divided Republicans, with some GOP leaders fearing a voter backlash.

Cornyn, joined by Gov. Rick Perry at a rally at Scholz Garten before filing his re-election paperwork, said the GOP must be the party of the late former president Ronald Reagan, who considered people allies if they agreed with him 80 percent of the time.

“When we're divided, we capitulate. We basically hand the victory to our political opponents,” Cornyn told reporters, adding, “that leads us in disastrous directions like we're seeing now.”

News Channel

“We need to demonstrate that if the American people are willing to give us the opportunity in this next election to win that election, then we will be the responsible adults in the room. We will actually govern,” he said.

Asked about Cruz, Cornyn said, “I think he's been a great new addition to the United States Senate.

“The sort of galvanizing attention he gave to the failures of Obamacare during his 21-hour speech I thought was very helpful.”

Cornyn said the two had a minor disagreement over tactics, but believes they share the goal of replacing Obamacare “with something that's actually affordable and works.”

Cruz hasn't endorsed Cornyn for re-election. He has said he expects to stay out of incumbent primary elections overall. Cornyn's campaign has, however, cited a donation from Cruz's political action committee.

“The senator ... has great respect for Sen. Cornyn, considers him a friend and has a good working relationship with him in the Senate,” said Cruz spokeswoman Catherine Frazier by email.

As for some in the tea party who've tried to recruit a Cornyn challenger, the senator said, “All I would ask them to do is look at my record.”

Cornyn is in a good spot to fend off a challenge, should a serious one arise. He has raised $10.3 million and has $6.9 million in cash on hand.

Perry at the rally called Cornyn “one of the most conservative members of the United States Senate...”

University of Texas political scientist Bruce Buchanan said Cornyn appears to be striking a moderate tone even while his conservative credentials are highlighted, citing the leader's interest in “the viability of the party at the national level.”

“I think it's a Cornyn tactic to use moderate rhetoric while not embracing that label for it. He certainly sounds a lot less strident than a lot of folks who have been representing his party in the national press of late,” Buchanan said. To supporters at the rally, Cornyn said it's important for Republicans to take seriously Democratic efforts to turn Texas blue. Without mentioning her by name, Cornyn took a swipe at state Sen. Wendy Davis, a Fort Worth Democrat who has announced for governor.

“We don't want a Nancy Pelosi clone as the next governor of Texas,” Cornyn said. While Cornyn has been criticized by some on the right, Democrats also slam him by saying he has kowtowed to Cruz.

“Completely consumed by his fear of a tea party primary challenge, John Cornyn has been on Cruz Control for months,” said Justin Barasky, a spokesman at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

    Obtain different sizes of Mason jars. You can use them for canning, freezing leftovers, packing lunches, storing food bought from the bulk bins. We buy blocks of cheeses then grate them with a Kitchen Aid and freeze. Freezing straight broths causes jars to crack. We microwave the cold or frozen food directly in the jars. We make a blender full of smoothy and freeze in the small jars. We often take the frozen smoothy for a snack during the day.

    One thing that I wrote on my blog today that might value to this post is to avoid the “sale trap.” In summary this theory tells people not to buy something just because it is on sale.

  43. Lovely says:

    I think most people would agree that saving money is something “easier said than done”. Personally, I believe it’s a mind-set that needs to be developed by creating good money-saving habits.

    Here are some things I’ve done to help change my spending habits:

    – Cooking more at home ? Eating out is very expensive especially if you do it a couple times a week
    – Shopping online ? You can find better deals than in the store and you save on gas (I recommend http://www.shoptivity.com)
    – Paying the full balance on credit cards each month ? Interest charge is like giving away free money
    – Don’t forget to pay yourself ? Set up an online savings account (they pay higher interest than a normal savings account)
    – Setting a budget and goals ? It’s good to have your goals written down so you see them everyday and don’t lose focus on your ultimate objectives

    Again, saving money requires a lot of patience and hard work. However, you’ll thank yourself later on in life. Good luck everyone!! =)

  44. David Wilson says:

    Great ideas, now lets just see if I actually can.

  45. Andres says:

    Very useful. Best site. Big Big Thanks

  46. Bobby says:

    WOW is all I have to say!

  47. Amy says:

    This is a great concise list, thanks very much!

  48. CJ says:

    I feel like I just got a peek at your rolodex. Thanks for the how to resource list. Saving money is one of my favorite things to do.

  49. CU Marketing says:

    I am your regular reader and feel great every time I go through your posts. They are really useful in some way or the other.

    Keep going with good work.

Nalandabodhi Presents: Mahayana 306: Paramitas, Paths, and Bhumis

 Nalandabodhi Presents: Mahayana 306: Paramitas, Paths, and Bhumis

Nalandabodhi Presents: Mahayana 306: Paramitas, Paths, and Bhumis

Oct 22, 2017, 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

New Mahayana

In the Mahayana teachings, we look at the possibility of limitless compassion and bodhichitta, the boundless intention to help all sentient beings. This motivation and its application are based on the crucial Mahayana notion that all sentient beings possess buddha nature, the potential to become a perfect buddha.

The studies of personal selflessness in the Hinayana are the jumping-off point for widening our vision to embrace the profound Mahayana selflessness of the “great emptiness” of all phenomena as well as the vast training and fruition of the path of a buddha-to-be.

This course is an updated and greatly revised version of the Nalandabodhi Mahayana Series with many new materials based on talks by Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche and Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche, especially in the areas of mind training (Tib. lojong), Madhyamaka, Mind-Only, Yogachara, Shentong, and buddha nature. Thus, all Nalandabodhi students who have already studied the previous Mahayana Series are greatly encouraged to join the new classes of this series.

Mitra Karl Brunnhölzl will be teaching most of the classes, including MAH 303, 304, 305, and 306.

Mahayana 306: Paramitas, Paths, and Bhumis

October 2 – 20, 2017
7:00 PM—8:30 PM

Course will start with MAH 303 and 304, then MAH 301 and 302, followed by MAH 305 and 306.

COOL Lawsuit Garners More Comments

Four groups have filed motions to intervene in the lawsuit filed July 8 seeking to block implementation of a mandatory country-of-origin (COOL) labeling rule finalized by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in May 2013.

The U.S. Cattlemen’s Association, National Farmers Union, Sheep Industry Association and Consumer Federation of America jointly filed a motion to intervene in the COOL lawsuit brought against USDA by the American Meat Institute and eight other United States, Canadian and Mexican meat and livestock organizations.

In the motion, the potential intervenors seek to respond to the motion for a preliminary injunction in the case, intervene on the merits of the action, saying it impacts their interests.

In their earlier filing, AMI and other meat trade groups including the National Pork Producers Council, contended that if allowed to proceed, the final COOL rule will irreparably harm meat-industry participants.

The government (USDA) also filed its brief opposing the plantiff’s motion for a preliminary injunction, saying the plantiffs made the request without demonstrating that they are entitled to the emergency injunction relief they seek.
