Move athletes into one line with the first outfielder stepping out in front of you. Begin by pointing a baseball in one direction (right or left). The athlete is then to dropstep and crossover in appropriate direction as you reach back and throw an easy pop fly.
Involve fly balls off of the bat only after fundamentals are solid.
In Building a Bug Out Bag Part I we discussed why building a Bug Out Bag is important and what type of bag to select. In Part II we discussed the Transportation Items to consider for your Bug Out Bag. Today we’ll discuss Water preparedness and Water items to consider including when building a Bug Out Bag. Remember, this is your last ditch, carry on your back, walk away from trouble Bug Out Bag…not what you hope you can get to your bug out location if your car, SUV, or semi-submersible speedboat makes it.
Water is the one thing that you won’t be able to carry three days worth with you if you are forced to resort to bugging out by foot. Three days worth of water would weigh over 25 lbs per person at one gallon per day or 12.4 gallons if you’re planning on just a half gallon per day. You should carry as much water as you can comfortably carry though. You can buy survival water boxes and pouches, but as long as there’s a functioning tap and you have canteens (or 1 to 2 liter soda bottles that you’ve washed out with soap and water) there’s no need to buy ‘survival water.’ Make sure to rotate your stored tap water frequently (no less than twice a year and more often if it is subjected to high temperatures). You can also pack bottled water but the disposable bottles aren’t very durable so make sure that you carry a more durable water container or canteen to fill up as you bug out…preferably one that’s unbreakable or even capable of boiling water in.
Boiling: Boiling should almost certainly be one of your purification options because boiling doesn’t take as many specialized supplies as the other water ‘purification’ methods . However, remember that boiling takes time, could potentially compromise your location (if you’re laying low) through light and/or smoke being visible. Make sure that you have a metal container like a canteen cup capable of holding your water as you boil it. If you don’t want to spend any money than just clean out a tin can and use it as your boil pot.
Water Purification Tablets: Tablets are available from camping stores and the camping aisles of many national chain discount stores. Read the instructions carefully and expect a ‘taste.’ Treatment generally takes about 30 minutes. Monitor your tablet’s expiration dates.
Chlorine Drops: Common, unscented liquid bleach in a dropper bottle is another treatment option that’s cheap to put together with a new dropper bottle from the drug store and that bottle of unscented liquid bleach you should have at home anyway…no, not for laundry but to purify water if you bug in. Chlorine will lose it’s effectiveness much more quickly than water purification tablets so I encourage you to spend that little extra money if you want a treatment option and but the tablets. You can read more about treating water with chlorine HERE.
Note: There are also battery operated UV treatment options like the SteriPEN. I’ve chosen to steer clear of relying on battery powered options.
Straw Type Emergency Water Filter : These are generally inexpensive, disposable filters for drinking directly from contaminated sources using the filter as a straw. I have several of these and am a little leery of their use but carry one when I’m traveling by plane and can’t carry a full Bug Out or Get Home Bag.
Water Filter Bottle : These multi-use bottles allow you to scoop water directly from the contaminated source and drink filtered water immediately. These filters tend to look a lot like a sports bottle and are relatively durable. They cost two to three times what the straw filters do but are much more durable and are worth a look. The top of the line filter bottle is the Berkey Bottle .
Backpacking Type Filters: These filters weigh a great deal more than the other filter options mentioned but are much more long lasting. With these filters will provide you a more robust capability that will last long after you reach your bug out location. Katadyn is a quality manufacturer. I use the Katadyn Hiker Pro Microfilter.
Check back tomorrow for Building a Bug Out Bag – Part IV when we’ll discuss Food Preparedness for your Bug Out Bag.
Notes: This week is the last of the 52 weeks project and I had this idea cooked up (if you’ll pardon the pun) for a while. Just needed Christmas Dinner to be presented on the table! So here you are, Dinner Deconstructed, for 52 Weeks 2018 – Topic 42, Still Life With Five Objects.
Notes: I’m not usually in the habit of eating five fish fingers for tea, but they had been in the freezer for a while and needed eating up… so I thought I would jokingly use a picture of them in the grill for Treasure Hunt Theme #30 – Five A Day.
Notes: Don’t you just love a nice, fresh fig?
Notes: An AFOL friend has just returned from the LEGO House in Denmark, and they were kind enough to bring me this mug. Tea tastes great from it! Perfect for 52 Weeks 2018 – Topic 19, New.
Notes: A few weeks ago I helped look after a friend after a small operation. Today, as a thank you, she treated us both to a lovely High Tea at Merrymeade Tea Room, which is in the stunning Merrymeade House, now part of the Brentwood Buddhist Community. We were given delicious cakes and sandwiches, and needed a doggy bag to take away the leftovers! The remaining cakes will give us an afternoon treat for a day or two yet.
Notes: Putting a chicken in the slow cooker is my idea of easy cooking – leave it for 12 hours and it’s done to perfection! Yum.
Notes: It’s still so hot I barely know what to do with myself. But having just got home from a week away, one of the things I needed to do was go food shopping. I came back with the ingredients for this delicious summer salad. Yum.
Notes: Another day spent trying to keep cool indoors. But it’s not working very well. One thing I find when it’s too hot is that I’m not very hungry, so this was a nice snack of tasty Double Gloucester cheese on bikkies – perfect for Treasure Hunt Theme #20 – Cheese & Biscuits.

All of a sudden, you're both feeling a strange, interesting and slightly unsettling urge welling up from deep inside you. If you find yourselves feeling upset, confused or indecisive about how you feel about the relationship and where it's going, take it as a sign that it's time to deepen your connection. You may worry that things need to change in a big way, but that's not necessarily true.
Over the next year or two, you should both focus not so much on changing your connection, but on the real truth of why you're connected in the first place. What is it that's held you together for all this time? It's not just circumstance or external factors, even if you might think it is. No, there's much deeper tissue there between you, and now you're being called upon to figure out exactly what that is. This period may not be easy, but it will be enlightening. Emotional truths about your relationship will come to light, which could be an upsetting experience in the moment -- but in the long run, you'll come through this period with a much deeper and more spiritual sense of your love for each other, and an abiding reason to stick to it.
Perhaps more than any other age group, 8- to 12-year-olds are investigators of sorts, discovering their strengths and weaknesses and how they fit into the world. Sylvie Weil reinforces this idea in My Guardian Angel (Arthur A. Levine), which tells the story of Elvina, an 11th century Jewish girl who secretly cares for a wounded Christian Crusader despite fears of what his compatriots might be planning for her community. The Shadows of Ghadames (Delacorte), by Joëlle Stolz, is set 800 years later in Libya, yet 12-year-old Malika finds herself in a similar situation. She longs to travel and study like her father and brother do, but as a Muslim female, she isn’t allowed. When an injured man in trouble is taken into her home, however, her world broadens a bit more.
A retelling of Miguel de Cervantes’ Tales of Don Quixote (Tundra) packs the title character’s deeds into 200-odd pages, just one-fifth of the original work. Barbara Nichol’s treatment, however, captures the spirit of the aging knight-errant determined to right all the wrongs—some imagined, some not—that he comes across. The adventures of the orphaned Stephen Lansbury are, on the whole, less imaginary but just as bizarre. In The Valley of Secrets (Simon & Schuster), by Charmian Hussey, young Stephen unexpectedly inherits a strange estate after an unknown great-uncle dies, and he must use the uncle’s diary about a trip through the Amazon to unravel the supernatural goings-on.
The 11-year-old in Joan Givner’s Ellen Fremedon (Groundwood) sometimes wishes she were an orphan because her bratty twin siblings always seem to be getting in the way. Ellen’s biggest worry, though, is that she won’t be able to put enough interesting tidbits into the novel she’s writing—until the twins go missing after looking into an environmental threat to their community. In Sammy Keyes and the Psycho Kitty Queen (Knopf), it’s the cats who are disappearing. Wendelin Van Draanen’s ninth Sammy Keyes mystery has the skateboard-riding girl detective contending with an increasingly vicious school enemy while figuring out why large numbers of neighborhood felines are unaccounted for.
It’s no mystery where Indigo Casson has gone: He was taken out of school for a semester to recover from mono. Indigo’s Star (Margaret K. McElderry), Hilary McKay’s sequel about the Casson family, opens with the middle schooler dreading his return to a place where he’d been relentlessly bullied. Yet aided by a new student and his precocious youngest sister, Rose (the Casson kids are all named after paint colors), Indigo learns to stand up for himself. The title character of Becoming Naomi León (Scholastic), by Pam Muñoz Ryan, must do the same after her alcoholic mother shows up (following a seven-year absence) and disrupts Naomi’s happy life with her younger brother and great-grandmother. When Naomi discovers the courage hinted at by her name, she not only reclaims her family but also expands it, establishing a relationship with her father, who had been kept from her.
Sometimes an expert is in your own backyard.
Mark's father is not only a constitutional lawyer but he's written a book with an extensive legal analysis of past presidential impeachment proceedings and even the attempted impeachment proceedings to remove presidents.
But worried it was one of those shouting match shows on cable television, Mark's father, Arnie, initially rejected our show's invitation to join the show hosted by his own son!
After it was explained that we wanted a civilized conversation to address all the impeachment talk, Mark's dad agreed to give us a bit of history and handicap the reality of any actions rising to the level of "high crimes and misdemeanors".
The show starts with a a brief introduction and then The Fast 15 with Michael Shure talking politics, Russia and then making way for impeachment talk.
Comedians Laura House and J. Elvis Weinstein join Mark Thompson for the conversation with his father, Arnie.
Then they share facts about their own parents including one being eerily near JFK's assassination and the other having tutored Bob Dylan.

Half of HMRC's VAT late-filing fines are incorrect!
A recent article in the i newspaper stated that as many as half of the fines imposed on business for filing late VAT returns may be incorrect. A data request to HMRC by a firm of accountants revealed that in 2013 17,200 appeals were made by businesses against late filing penalties and that 49% of them were successful.
That means that 51% were incorrect and had their appeal upheld!
Businesses automatically receive fines related to their VAT bills when they file returns late although this may not be a financial penalty initially. However if you have an explanation for it being late then you should appeal it because if you are late again you will be more likley to receive a fine.
Another good reason to keep your accounts up to date!

This is a rocking take of Mother, Mother by Dilana from the Rock Star: Supernova contest. What she lacks in skill and musicianship compared to Tracy Bonham, she makes up for with this incredible energy. It is probably a good thing she did not win, as playing with those old guys would have held her back.

Who is N'Kata Del Gormo?
I have often asked practitioners what they found the most challenging thing in the entire patient management process.
Over the years I have realised beginner practitioners have challenges in one of the following processes that incorporates a homoeopathic case management.
2) Case analysis that also includes miasmatic totality, susceptibility and prognosis.
3) Creating a Totality of Symptoms.
4) Matching this totality with the most indicated remedies in the Materia Medica – includes use of repertorization process.
5) Differential diagnosis and determining the first prescription and dose.
6) Eliciting Remedy Response and determining the second prescription/s until the case improves completely depending on the scope of homoeopathy.
Personally when I started my practice, the most frustrating part of case management process was matching my totality with the most indicated remedy in the Materia Medica.
While I seemed to do quite well with my case taking and I could even elicit the totality and core essence of a case well, I struggled to find a remedy that matched this state.
One possible reason could be that there were a just handful of remedies that I could say I knew really well in those years and prescribe confidently. While we were "taught" around 400 remedies in my training and were expected to memorize them well, I could never manage to remember them.
I could never understand remedies from reading a book directly because they lacked something. The only remedies that I could ever learn and still remember clearly were those those that were filtered through a clinical case. I found it extremely futile and boring to memorize a set of indications of remedies just because they were dumped together in a book.
Having said that I thoroughly enjoyed the clinical cases from books journals or in lectures. I spent hours going through journals and archived cases to find my remedies. I observed cases being prescribed by my teachers in practice and made sure I recorded the remedy indications and the response that followed during the followups. I would compare cases of the same remedy. The idea was to see the many varied expressions of a remedy in clinic, using various approaches and to really get that depth of the remedy understanding and pathogenesis.
Now this was a slower process and while I knew some remedies really well, my materia medica was quite limited. So it was rare for a remedy to pop in my head as soon as I took the case in my first few years of practice unless I had read or seen it prescribed before.
Hence the only way I could find remedies in most of my cases was by repertorizing and trying newer remedies if they were indicated.
The most tricky part for me was converting the symptoms into rubrics. While the totality of the case was quite clear and depended on the "stage" I took the case at, I wanted to make sure that the rubrics exactly represented the depth, core and essense of my patient's totality.
