5/29/2023 0 Comments Great Minds by Chris OgdenRick Barnes, Head Coach, University of Tennessee I'm looking forward to being at the games in the coming season and I hope you will join me as we cheer on our team and support Chris as he takes us to ever higher levels." Jim Baker and I are committed to driving towards higher and higher levels of excellence and have high expectations of the team.

Vistasp Karbhari, President, University of Texas at Arlington He is the true definition of a players coach! Big things ahead for him and his program. Congratulations to my friend on becoming the next head coach for UT Arlington. 5/29/2023 0 Comments Ali a lifeAli, who died last year, aged 74, had a story so outsized that all of these writers decided it could only be digested when it was broken into chunks: individual fights or chapters of his life. Latterly, David Remnick, editor of the New Yorker, traced the boxer’s early years in his 1998 biography King of the World: the invention of “the most original and magnetic athlete of the century”. Foreman’s knockout was memorably recorded: “He went over like a six-foot 60-year-old butler who has just heard tragic news.” Hunter S Thompson was also in the press pack in Zaire in 1974, but contrived to miss the epic contest. Norman Mailer wrote one of the defining sports books, The Fight, about Ali and George Foreman’s Rumble in the Jungle. Tom Wolfe wrote at length about “ the Marvellous Mouth” – then still Cassius Clay – in 1963, as he prepared for his first title shot against Sonny Liston. And, as a subject, “the Greatest” has attracted some of the best. N o sportsman’s life has been more chronicled than Muhammad Ali’s, or it certainly feels that way. 5/29/2023 0 Comments Monster blood tattoo booksThe map of the Half-Continent labels other lands across the ocean.

The first step in healing hormones with food-and losing weight as a wonderful side effect!-is redefining the word "diet" to mean the things you can eat each day to nourish your body instead of the things you can’t. And these diets are a trainwreck for hormones. Cutting calories can trigger weight loss in the short term, but studies show that the weight almost always comes back on. The first thing to know about restricted-calorie diets is that they don’t necessarily work for weight loss or for hormonal harmony. That's because many "diets" involve restricting calories and/or adding in a torturous workout regimen. I get it-the thought of saying goodbye to a favorite food (or foods) is scary, and "diet" has become a four-letter word for most people. When clients first come to me for hormonal healing, they're often intimidated by the idea of changing their diets. 5/28/2023 0 Comments Where's Waldo? by Martin HandfordShe became the latest on the list of rejected specialists, quickly reduced to "the one with the Miss Piggy garbage bin" in family anecdotes.įor my own diagnosis, perhaps it was fear. Obsessive-compulsiveness, said one therapist - of the newer school - but my lack of interest in cataloguing the exact time on every clock in The Corridors of Time sent that theory spiralling rapidly toward the bin. These were places into which one could comfortably retreat, like well-worn memories from a time one had never lived, like something passed down in the songs of hope and woe sung by the balladeers who kept my ancestors' souls warm throughout those long, medieval winters. Any of my long string of child therapists would have drawn this conclusion from the top of the deck. "This Where's Wally book belongs to.".įantasy, sure. Was it ownership? To an intellectual boy in a dusty town, so little is his own. Your ability to disappear so quickly, so guilelessly, was that of my mother in a crowded room. Or, perhaps, empathy? Your eternal stare reminded me of my father, leaving a handful of notes on the table as my parents went out to dinner. Was it loneliness, then? The summer stillness of my childhood room? A world outside for the children who loved soccer and music and insects a world closed to me by gates invisible yet solid as steel? Your absence echoing your presence back to me, a single chord, sublime in its simplicity, haunting in its resonances. 5/28/2023 0 Comments Having and being had bookSometimes it would just flow and flow, as the day’s light faded and his destination edged nearer. He’d see himself flying a jet, being an explorer, winning the day, gaining revenge, getting into a fistfight. Sometimes it would coalesce into a narrative. In his mind, all of these questions and thoughts would mix with what was already sloshing around-the movies he’d seen, the stuff he liked to read about space exploration. Some figures standing outside: What were they doing? A plane up in the clear sky: All those people, where were they going and what were they thinking? The couple in that car as the Greyhound passed, the guy by himself in the truck, that station wagon loaded up with kids in the back, that locomotive on the train tracks … A house would flash by he’d imagine who lived in it. He’d see a barn, wonder what was on the other side. He’d watch the broken sine wave of the telephone lines, looping on and on and on for miles, then veering away, then rejoining the bus’s path. Sometimes he read a little, maybe a comic, maybe a book, but mostly he’d stare out into the passing world. Those journeys, they released something within him. To break the spell, Rump must go on a perilous quest, fighting off pixies, trolls, poison apples, and a wickedly foolish queen. With each thread he spins, he weaves himself deeper into a curse. His best friend, Red Riding Hood, warns him that magic is dangerous, and she’s right. Rump discovers he has a gift for spinning straw into gold. In a magic kingdom where your name is your destiny, 12-year-old Rump is the butt of everyone's joke. But when he finds an old spinning wheel, his luck seems to change. New York Times Bestselling author Liesl Shurtliff "spins words into gold. This funny fractured fairy tale goes behind the scenes of Rumpelstiltskin. 5/28/2023 0 Comments Christina crosby a body undoneShortly after her fiftieth birthday, the athletic Crosby-already a tenured professor of English and Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut-embarked upon a bicycle ride that came to a sudden conclusion when a twig caught in the spokes of her front wheel. “Don’t believe it,” this memoirist exhorts us, because much of what she lives is “simply beyond belief.” Throughout her book, she combats the “happy idea that disability leads to profound insight or higher understanding,” which informs the “narrative arc that organizes so many stories about living with an incapacitated bodymind” (116). In truth, however, living with an impairment proves far more complicated than either of these formulas would have us believe, and Crosby isn’t afraid of saying so. Christina Crosby’s 2016 memoir A Body Undone: Living on After Great Pain (NYU Press) delves into the ideological chasm between those who argue that disability is something to be treated and those who maintain that it offers up a cache of valuable epistemological resources. |
