Due to severe storms and tornadic weather activity on Saturday night, the stage at the Big Valley Jamboree music festival in Camrose, Alberta, Canada’s largest country music festival, collapsed where singer Billy Currington was performing. Currington was on the last song of his set when the wind blew the staging down on top of he and his band. Currington was taken to the hospital and suffered a minor concussion but is expected to make a full recovery. He has been released from the hospital and has returned to his home in Nashville. Currington’s bass player Alex Stevens was pinned under the wreckage of the stage for half an hour while rescue personnel removed debris to free him. Stevens underwent immediate surgery to repair a severed artery and nerves in his left arm and is currently receiving treatment in Nashville. Currington sent a message to his fans today via Twitter, “The boys and I are very grateful to be home and for life itself. We thank you for your prayers and concern and will see you on the road again soon.” Currington also comments from his home in Nashville, “my heart goes out to the family of Donna Moore who was killed and all of the other fans who were hurt on Saturday.”

With your summer training underway, one nagging factor that might be making things difficult for you is your increasing hunger levels. The leaner you become, the more your body is going to fight further fat loss from taking place by increasing the hunger sensations you feel. It does this through a complex process that includes two main hunger hormones, leptin and ghrelin. With biology against us, we’re happy to report that there are natural appetite suppressants to help you out.

Fortunately, if you choose your foods and supplements wisely, you can help stave off some of that hunger, making it easier to maintain that lower-calorie diet. Here are the appetite suppressants to focus on.

No.10 - Apples
You’ve heard the saying: ”An apple a day (no, not an Apple jingle girl) keeps the doctor away,” and now apples may do more than just that. One large apple supplies approximately 5 grams of fiber, which fills the stomach up for a longer period of time. Additionally, the sugars found in apples do not influence blood sugar levels as much as starchycarbohydrates do, meaning you’ll have a reduced risk of a blood-sugar spike followed by a crash.

No.9 - Flaxseeds
Flaxseeds are becoming a more popular way of getting in your essential fatty acids, but they also offer a good dose of soluble fiber to your diet. Sprinkle these little appetite suppressants into your yogurt or cottage cheese and you’ll provide your body with some slow-digesting fats to go along with the protein that’s already very satisfying.



No.8 - Caffeine
Caffeine is a daily part of most of our lives, yet many of us don’t realize the appetite-suppressing properties that caffeine has. This stimulant is most noted for its energizing effect along with its ability to help keep you awake during that mid-morning meeting. When taken in moderate doses, however, as the central nervous system is stimulated, you’ll also tend to experience a decreased appetite.

No.7 - Water
Staying well hydrated is another very important thing you must do if you hope to prevent hunger. Not only do we often mistake hunger for thirst, but when we are dehydrated we are more apt to feel tired, causing us to attribute this fatigue for a food shortage. If you truly are tired and lacking sleep, keep in mind that your brain will release a hormone telling your body that you’re hungry when, in fact, you are not.

No.6 - Hoodia
Hoodia is a supplement that many people believe helps them control their hunger. Hoodia originated from Africa and was primarily used by hunters when they went out on hunting expeditions to prevent hunger pains from shortening their trip. Be aware, however, that it can take a few days to exert its affects; if you don’t feel anything at first, wait it out before making judgments.



No.5 - Chicken & vegetable soup
Starting your meal off with soup is another way to reduce your appetite. Hot liquids in general tend to take the edge off hunger and since there are so few calories per cup, you can eat a good volume to fill your stomach. Chicken and vegetable soup is your best bet since the small amount of protein in the chicken will curb your hunger longer, while thevegetables and fluid will instantly fill you up.

No.4 - Wasabi
Consuming spicy foods also helps to suppress the appetite. So next time you’re having sushi or fish try adding some wasabi to it to really tame your appetite. In addition to hunger suppression, wasabi has also been known to help protect against cancer and provide anti-inflammatory effects.

No.3 - Oatmeal
Starting your day off with unsweetened oatmeal is a great way to prevent hunger later on in the morning. Oatmeal contains more dietary fiber than most cereal and is very low in sugars, meaning it’s not going to leave you with a blood-sugar crash. Add some cinnamon, unsweetened applesauce or a touch of sugar-free maple syrup for added flavor.

No.2 - Salmon
Salmon works well to reduce your appetite due to the healthy fat it contains. Protein-rich foods are the most satiating nutrient upon being eaten, but fat is what has staying power to keep you feeling satisfied in the hours to come. By eating salmon, you’ll get the best of both worlds.

No.1 - Almonds
Finally, almonds are another great source of healthy fats and make for a great snack between meals -- provided you watch portion sizes. Note that the hunger-reducing effects of nuts tend to take about half an hour before you feel them, so eat them before you reach the point of being extremely hungry or you’ll be tempted to eat more than just the nuts.

After the recent teetering-on- the-edge- of-total- economic- and-financial- meltdown 
couple of months, it seems appropriate to simplify matters by explaining 21 economic models using cows : 

SOCIALISM 
You have 2 cows. 
You give one to your neighbour. 

COMMUNISM 
You have 2 cows. 
The State takes both and gives you some milk.. 

FASCISM 
You have 2 cows. 
The State takes both and sells you some milk. 

NAZISM 
You have 2 cows. 
The State takes both and shoots you. 

BUREAUCRATISM 
You have 2 cows. 
The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, and then throws the milk 
away... 

TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM 
You have two cows
You sell one and buy a bull. 
Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. 
You sell them and retire on the income. 

SURREALISM 
You have two giraffes.. 
The government requires you to take harmonica lessons. 

AN AMERICAN CORPORATION 
You have two cows. 
You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. 
Later, you hire a consultant to analyse why the cow has dropped dead. 

ENRON VENTURE CAPITALISM 
You have two cows. 
You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of 
credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity 
swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, 
with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of the six cows are 
transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island Company secretly owned by 
the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your 
listed company. The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an 
option on one more. You sell one cow to buy a new president of the United 
States , leaving you with nine cows. No balance sheet provided with the release. 

The public then buys your bull. 

A FRENCH CORPORATION 
You have two cows. 
You go on strike, organise a riot, and block the roads, because you want 
three cows. 

A JAPANESE CORPORATION 
You have two cows. 
You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and 
produce twenty times the milk. You then create a clever cow cartoon image 
called 'Cowkimon' and market it worldwide. 

A GERMAN CORPORATION 
You have two cows. 
You re-engineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk 
themselves. 

AN ITALIAN CORPORATION 
You have two cows, but you don't know where they are. 
You decide to have lunch. 

A RUSSIAN CORPORATION 
You have two cows. 
You count them and learn you have five cows. 
You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. 
You count them again and learn you have 2 cows. 
You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka. 

A SWISS CORPORATION 
You have 5000 cows. None of them belong to you. 
You charge the owners for storing them. 

A CHINESE CORPORATION 
You have two cows. 
You have 300 people milking them. 
You claim that you have full employment, and high bovine productivity. 
You arrest the newsman who reported the real situation. 

AN INDIAN CORPORATION 
You have two cows. 
You worship them. 

A BRITISH CORPORATION 
You have two cows. 
Both are mad. 

AN IRAQI CORPORATION 
Everyone thinks you have lots of cows. 
You tell them that you have none. 
No-one believes you, so they bomb you and invade your 
country. 
You still have no cows, but at least now you are part of a Democracy... 

AN AUSTRALIAN CORPORATION 
You have two cows. 
Business seems pretty good. 
You close the office and go for a few beers to celebrate. 

A NEW ZEALAND CORPORATION 
You have two cows. 
The one on the left looks very attractive.
