Build a charcoal fire with charcoal for indirect cooking by situating coals on only one side of grill, leaving other side void.
Cover entire brisket with beef bouillon base. In small bowl, mix dry rub ingredients and coat brisket with rub. When cooker reaches 225°F, place brisket on void side of grill and close lid. Cook for 4 hours, until internal temperature reaches 160-170°F.
Remove brisket from grill and place in shallow baking dish or disposable aluminum pan. Pour beef broth over brisket and cover pan with aluminum foil. Place baking dish in cooker for an additional 1-2 hours, until internal temperature reaches 185°F.
Remove baking dish from grill and let meat rest undisturbed for 20-30 minutes. Slice brisket across grain and serve.
Breakfast Pizza
Put a healthy twist on pizza for a quick, satisfying breakfast kids and adults will love. Start with sliced naan or a whole wheat bagel. Toast to warm and add a smear of ricotta cheese. Then top with sliced tomatoes and sprinkle with a dash of fleur de sel and dried basil, if desired. If you prefer a sweeter pizza, skip the tomatoes and use sliced fruit instead. This tasty breakfast will fight hunger pangs straight until lunchtime.
Small businesses have such a big impact on their communities, and the world at large, that it might be time to reconsider refering to them as “small.” According to the World Bank, small businesses have a major impact on the world economy, especially in emerging countries. In such nations, small and medium enterprises contribute up to 60 percent of total employment and up to 40 percent of national income. Small businesses figure to frame their economies in emerging countries in the coming decades, and they’re already doing so in developed nations, such as the United States and Canada.

The options are endless when it comes to crafting wood fencing, which also can be stained in any color homeowners prefer. Wood fencing can be designed not only for homeowners who prioritize privacy, but it also can be crafted for homeowners for whom privacy is not a significant concern. Wood is a relatively inexpensive fencing material, but the maintenance required to keep wood fencing looking great can sometimes be costly and time-consuming.
DID YOU KNOW?
According to the American Osteopathic Association, one in five teenagers will now experience some form of hearing loss. That rate is roughly 30 percent higher than it was 20 years ago.Though various factors have contributed to that increase, the AOA notes that many experts believe an increased use of headphones among teenagers is partly to blame. Listening to headphones at high volumes for extended periods of time can lead to lifelong hearing loss for children and teens. Parents can encourage children and teenagers to listen to music at reasonable levels when using their headphones,and one effective way to control volume without sacrificing sound is to use over-the-ear headphones instead of earbuds. The Cleveland Clinic notes that over-theear headphones are generally more effective than earbuds at cancelling outside noise. That allows over-the-ear headphone users to listen to music at lower volumes, which can significantly reduce their risk for noise-induced hearing loss.

STAY SAFE WHEN GARDENING IN HOT WEATHER
Take frequent breaks indoors or in shady areas. Limit marathon gardening sessions to spring and fall when the weather permits. When gardening in harsh summertime heat, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises gardeners to take frequent breaks. Head inside to air conditioned rooms, if necessary, or find shady areas to sit, relax and drink some water. Sitting in the shade will give the body’s thermostat a chance to recover from exposure to extreme heat.
MASONRY & BASEMENT
PREVENT DIY INJURIES
Wear solid shoes that provide considerable traction during home improvements. A firm, reinforced toe is helpful as well. Should any items fall, they’ll be less likely to cause injury if your foot is encased in a protective boot or sturdy shoe. Soles that grip surfaces will help safeguard against slips and falls.
PARENTS CAN SIMPLIFY STUDENTS’ TRANSITION TO COLLEGE LIFE
Let kids fly solo on school day mornings. New college students have to make many adjustments upon moving into their dorms, and getting themselves out of bed each morning and off to class on time is one such change. Parents worried that their students will sleep in when mom and dad isn’t around to remind them to wake up can start letting kids fly solo on school day mornings during their final year of high school. Let kids set their alarms, prepare their own breakfasts and get out the door on time all on their own. By the time their freshman year of college arrives, kids will know how to handle their mornings by themselves.

High Creatinine and GFR Levels Signify Severe Kidney Damage
DEAR DR. ROACH: Last summer, a city policeman came to my door. My doctor had been unable to contact me with the results of a recent blood test and called the police. The policeman handed me a card with the results written on it. My creatinine level was 4.1, and my glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was 14. He said the numbers indicated that my kidneys were failing and that I should go to the emergency room immediately. Except for swelling in one ankle, I had no symptoms.
During a day and a half in the hospital, I lost 14 pounds of fluid after the insertion of a catheter. Within two weeks, my creatinine level was measured at 2.1. After a few months of wearing the catheter, my prostate was “trimmed back” (my words, not the doctor’s) using a procedure called a “TURP.” I am back to normal. What is a TURP, and how routine is it? Are there any long-term negative effects? How close did I come to kidney failure? -- T.J.R. ANSWER: Your problem was obstruction of urine flow due to an enlarged prostate. The urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body) goes right through the middle of the prostate, and an enlarged prostate can block flow partially or completely. This is a very common problem. Sometimes the urine flow stops entirely, but this doesn’t have to happen in order for kidney damage to occur. It’s the increased pressure in the bladder that causes damage. Creatinine is an end product of protein metabolism, and since it is removed by the kidney, it’s a good indicator of kidney function. The higher the creatinine level, the worse the kidney function. The creatinine level (along with age and sex) are used to estimate the GFR, a direct statement of a person’s kidney function.
A (stable) GFR of less than 15 is considered stage 5 kidney failure, which usually means that dialysis will be necessary to preserve life. Note that creatinine itself isn’t the problem; it’s a marker for the fact that the kidney can’t remove all the other waste products, which will then build up and make a person very ill.
When a person with urinary obstruction develops a creatinine level over 6, it’s likely that they will have permanent kidney damage, but I have seen people with higher levels recover and some with lower levels experience permanent kidney function loss. My guess is that you were only a few days away from having permanent damage.
A trans-urethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a traditional treatment for an enlarged prostate. Although newer treatments are often used in situations where there is plenty of time to spare, a TURP is a routine treatment for the type of obstruction you had. There are possible long-term side effects from a TURP, such as erectile dysfunction, but those are usually noticed immediately after surgery and often get better over time.
Finally, a plea: Make sure that your doctor has your up-to-date contact information, including your emergency contacts. We physicians are very grateful to have the police available for emergencies, but would rather not have to use them. I try to remind my resident physicians to be sure that we have a working contact number any time we order a test, but it’s best if both the patient and physician have it on their lists. Even routine tests can occasionally come back with critical results.

What to Do with Your Old Electronics (Family Features) Mobile phones, laptops, tablets, game consoles, cameras - electronic devices are a big part of American life. In fact, Americans own an average of 24 electronic products per household, according to the Consumer Electronics Association. With technology changing so rapidly and new “it” devices hitting the market every few months, a lot of those devices get discarded quickly. That adds up to a lot of potential e-waste. Fortunately, it’s easier than ever to keep old electronics out of the waste stream.

Monks, Bread, and Divine Mercy: The Spirtual and Culinary Legacy of the Abbey of the Genesee
BY SUZIE WELLS
The Abbey of the Genesee spans a 570-acre plot along the Genesee River in Piffard, NY and is home to a Roman Catholic community of contemplative monks belonging to the worldwide Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance (O.C.S.O.), commonly known as Trappists. Manual work is an integral part of Trappist life, and each monastic community supports itself by the work of its hands. e bakery in Piffard supports the monastery’s primary mission to pray for the world.
e monks of the Abbey of the Genesee have been baking Monks’ Bread since 1953, soon a er the first monks arrived from Kentucky. One of Genesee’s first monks, Br Sylvester, a cook in the US Navy, had baked as many as 400 loaves at a time for his shipmates, so he continued to bake bread for his brothers at Genesee. e monks shared loaves with guests and local tradesmen who volunteered time and expertise to construct the Abbey’s first buildings. Everyone loved the bread and word spread. Monks soon sold bread at local parishes on Sunday mornings and stores asked to sell the famous bread. What started in the monastery’s kitchen soon became a state-of-the-art bakery, baking and selling bread far and wide.
In 2015, Monks’ Specialty Bakery, featuring biscotti, cheese crisps, and fruit & nut bars, allowed older monks no longer able to serve in the physically demanding traditional bread bakery to continue to provide service in a slowerpaced bakery alongside their brother monks. e
Abbey’s Vocation Director, Fr. Isaac Slater, with the Abbey for 24 years, says the Abbey of the Genesee includes monks from across the world with diverse backgrounds, education, and personalities. Fr. Isaac says the common thread among all is grace: “Something – guilt, mortality, some root disillusionment or loss – leads us to see our own weakness in a startling new way, and in the same moment of stark and bitter truth, we discover we are truly, unconditionally loved and accepted as we are.”
To keep alive those moments of love, divine mercy, and communion, Cistercian monks keep a “set program and schedule,” rising early for vigils, fasting, silence, solitary prayer, practicing a fraternal life in poverty, and absorption in the scriptures. Fr. Isaac says, “All of these are meant to keep alive and cultivate the memory of God’s touch in our lives, to keep us plugged in to our deepest heart’s desire.”
Fr. Isaac describes this monastic life as “like a trellis [that] allows the sprawling tangle of [one’s] inner life to reach up and out into full articulation. It’s something like living inside a sonnet: all the compression and limits of the form paradoxically serve a feeling of release and freedom.” While solitary, Fr. Isaac says the monastic life is also “intensely social” with daily opportunities to care for elderly brothers, work to support the community, and extend hospitality to the many guests and retreatants who visit. He explains, “ e atmosphere of leisure and peace, the surroundings and regular practices all serve
to keep one true to his deepest heart’s desire: to grow in union with the Lord Jesus and to radiate His love and mercy to a suffering world.”
Fr. Isaac explains his call to vocation: “When I considered the immense injustice and misery in the world, and that I had only one life to spend, the contemplative life, which relies so totally on divine strength and requires from me only the surrender of my weakness, seemed to make the best contribution.” At his first retreat at a Cistercian monastery, Fr. Isaac felt “deeply confirmed and consoled by these words of St. Isaac of Nineveh: ‘One who knows his weakness is greater than he who sees the angels… e solitary and repentant follower of Christ is greater than he who enjoys popular favor in the churches.’”
Fr. Isaac says he recognized his weaknesses, and he knew that to embrace the gospel fully, he needed a strong support system to keep him focused. He found that vocation in Cistercian monastic life at the end of 1999. Since then, he says, “It’s proved a more challenging, healing, and beautiful life than I could have hoped for, one that has set me free. At the center there is a deep intimacy with the Lord, the chance to live in closeness to Him that would be more difficult in other ways of life.”
e Abbey of the Genesee stands as a testament to the enduring power of faith, community, and the simplicity of a life dedicated to prayer and service. From the fragrant loaves of Monks’ Bread to the serene rhythm of monastic life, the Abbey offers a unique glimpseintoaworldwherethedivineandtheeverydaycoexistinharmony.

August 3, 2024 is National Disc Golf Day!
The 1920s are the earliest known games, allegedly. A group of children at Bladworth Elementary School in Saskatchewan, Canada are reportedly the first ones to play a version of disc golf. In 1965 George Sappenfield is on break from Fresno State University and working as a recreation counselor when an idea hits him as he plays golf — he wonders if the kids in his playground would like to play golf with Frisbees, and he is right. The First O cial Disc Golf Course was built in 1975. American toy inventor Ed Headrick installs the first o cial course at Oak Grove Park in Pasadena, Los Angeles County, California — the targets are simply permanent poles. Disc Golf gains mainstream attention in 2015. Disc golf appears on ESPN's Top 10 Plays on SportsCenter, taking this sport into mainstream media, too.

So many people start not feeling good and automatically assume and tell others oh it's only a cold. Or it's only allergies. Many hear those words all the time. You don't know that for sure because Covid symptoms presents as a cold or allergies in some. Please respect others and test yourself as not to spread it to others. It only takes a few minutes. Some people really trying to protect themselves can get very sick. Please be responsible. One can easily spread it to six or seven people, and those six or seven people can spread it to another six or seven people, and so on. Some people can still pass away from Covid if they're sick enough.

Live off of cash reserves first. Before cashing in investments or retirement accounts, tap your emergency fund first. If you have any tangible assets, like an unused car or a boat sitting idle, sell these items for cash to tide you over.

STEPS TO LEAVE A JOB GRACEFULLY
Deciding to leave a job is seldom an easy decision. However, it’s a more common decision than many people may know, as the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates the average worker holds 10 different jobs before age 40.
People change jobs for a variety of reasons. Some do so because of better opportunities elsewhere, while others simply need a change. Regardless of what’s motivating a job change, leaving a place of employment can elicit various emotions, including some that may contribute to negative thoughts about a current employer. But it’s always best to leave a job gracefully, which can pay dividends down the road.
