There is the friendliness the south boast about that greets you at the door. And the big taste of tender slow grilled ribs, chicken, and links that lands on your taste buds and stays on your mind. by Angela Jackson So where does Texas and Alabama meet? According to the owners of My Father’s Bar B Que, its right here in Carson, California. It’s the southern hospitality of the south and the great big flavor of Texas that gives the ribs at My Father’s Bar B Que their one of kind taste. There is a definite down south, home like feeling when you enter this family owned establishment.

“Just the right amount of seasoning, the perfect texture, and taste.” describes the ribs found at My Father’s Bar B Que located at 637 E. University Dr. in Carson, California. If you are in a rush call your order in so once you arrive they’ll be ready. Just like the south there’s no rushing to prepare great tasting food so if you walk in prepare to wait a few minutes. Food worth eating is food worth waiting for and My Father’s Bar B Que is worth you stopping by and experience what happens when Alabama and Texas meet.

Keep your written goals visible and review them often. Read “The Main Thing is to KEEP the Main Thing, The MAIN THING”.
Writing down your goals and intentions will force you to clarify what YOU want. Imagine going to the airport with no particular destination, time or date for departure or return? You will get nowhere until you are specific and clear. Your life is more critical than a trip. Your life needs focus, intention and clarity. Writing down your goals forces you to select something specific and decide what you want for your life journey or simply your daily tasks. Write down your goals as if you were placing an order for your goal to be manufactured in a factory or as if you were planning your ideal vacation. Writing down your clear and
No, you may not achieve all your goals in life, but you certainly increase your chances of achieving your small or big goals, if you write them down. So watch out for the distractions, doubt and procrastination. Stuff happens in life, so don’t be easily discouraged. Life can be challenging and bring a lot of obstacles. If you are not seeing progress in your life, it can be depressing. So remember the habit of writing down your goals which allows you to see your progress and celebrate as you check off each mini-goal achieved. By Jewel Diamond Taylor, www.DoNotGiveUp.net.

By Angela Jackson Energy, enthusiasm, and excellence filled the air as Yolanda “YoYo” Williams prepared for the YoYo School of Hip Hop’s annual “End of Summer Celebration” on July 12, 2015 at the Comrie Hall at Exposition Park. Students ages 5 to 17 displayed their vocal, dance, and theatrical skills in a 2 hour celebration where on lookers watched potential turned into purpose. Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends graced the venue with supportive anticipation. As the audience patiently waited to enjoy newly tapped talent the sounds of past and present R&B, Rap and Hip Hop music filled the room in classic DJ Munch style. Williams a beloved Hip Hop icon and Carson resident displayed her heart for the youth as she helped them prepare for their culminating event. As the show began one young female MC was chosen to introduce Williams and the show was under way. Williams shared her heart for the youth in the Greater Los Angeles area and around the world. She explained how the
school began 5 years ago with 100 students. As she passionately shared she explained how the youths hunger and desire is her reason for continuing to work with the youth in this manner. “I give them everything I ever wanted to learn about the industry.” Williams concluded. The hunger and desire each new class
Yo Yo brings to the, YoYo School of Hip Hop was beautifully displayed throughout the program. The first half of the show took the audience from the 30’s through present time with performances paying tribute to the sounds of artist like Cab Calloway, a host of Motown Greats, and The Sugarhill Gang. After a brief intermission, an amazing performance by the schools 14 year old ambassador Noah Jay wowed the audience and
brought them to their feet with hand claps of appreciation. Williams highlighted his talent by giving his mother special recognition for recognizing and supporting his unique gift. The second half of the celebration was filled with youth dancing and singing from their heart. Steven White Middle Schools Beyond the Bell dance instructor Gary Araujo choreographed most of the dances and many of the back-up acts for the celebration working with youth ages 5 to 17 to represent the heart and soul of the schools experience. In only four short weeks, students conquered their fears and worked to reach new levels under the tutelage of industry notables like Songwriter, Freckles The Writer and Beat Producer, Clint “PayBack” Sands.

Hello Carson Courier Readers! Today is a great day to be great! Summertime is my favorite season, especially in sunny California with our warm beaches, temperatures rising above 90 degrees, and so many people being active. Although summer is very inviting it is also the time that many elderly patients and children visit the emergency room with a diagnosis of dehydration.
THE END? By Dean L. Jones Created for diabetics, not dieters, Diet Soda was introduced to naive consumers in 1952, with a sugar-free ginger ale called No-Cal. With limited success, six years later Royal Crown Cola captured interested consumers with their Diet Rite. Dr Pepper followed, but it was the Coca-Cola Company that grabbed the largest market share with Tab, using cyclamates and saccharin as sweetening ingredients. Subsequently, science found saccharin to cause cancer in animals, so in 1977, the government regulated warning labels be placed on saccharin-sweetened foods and beverages. Nevertheless, in December 2000, government officials back peddled by passing legislation removing warning labels, assuming that saccharin no longer posed a danger. Naturally, artificial sweetener makers insist that chemicals like saccharin and aspartame are harmless, with zero health problems to humans who consume it. This is easy to say since all of the negative testing results come from animal use, as human testing is disallowed. Aspartame is linked to methanol toxicity and the formation of
formaldehyde, a toxicity now showing science a potential cause of Alzheimer’s disease. Though, there is scientific evidence studying women who consume greater amounts of dietary methanol during pregnancy (more than 142 mg per week) have a significantly increased risk of giving birth to a child with autism. Another review of this study shows how the introduction of aspartame in diet soda in 1983 closely matches the rapid rise in autism cases. In the U.S. and perhaps even globally, since aspartame’s introduction, autism cases continue to rise in direct proportion of its consumption. Also related to this unprecedented era of the diet soda, artificial sweetener studies show that it has played a major part in actually worsening the obesity epidemic. Contrary to popular belief, researchers have found that artificial sweeteners such as aspartame increase and stimulate a person’s appetite. Using this chemical also increases the craving for carbohydrates; while at the same time stimulate fat storage and weight gain. Pepsi may perceive the end to diet sodas as it has decided to remove the artificial sweetener aspartame from several of its diet sodas starting next month. Diet
Pepsi, Caffeine Free Diet Pepsi, and Wild Cherry Diet Pepsi sodas will flavor these drinks with a blend of surculose and acesulfame potassium, replacing the aspartameflavored drinks. While these replacement ingredients are less toxic than aspartame, for me it is still silly to make such a nothing product. Artificially sweetened foods and beverages do not help in weight loss as depicted in some ad campaigns. For the sake of better health, Live SugarAlert! knowing that it is not just diet sodas that use toxic sweeteners like aspartame, but many other products include it as a main ingredient, including, but not limited to, breath mints, cereals, chewing gum, flavored water, hard candies, jams, jellies, nutritional bars, pudding, vegetable drinks, yogurt - both fat free and sugar free. www.SugarAlert.com Dean Jones is an Ethics Advocate, Southland Partnership Corporation (a public benefit organization), contributing his view on certain aspects of foodstuff.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the population for the city of Carson, California is 91,714 (13.8% of which is 65 years of age or older.) Many elderly are prone to dehydration due to the inability to care for themselves or because of chronic or acute illness such as diabetes, vomiting, diarrhea, or flu symptoms. For this issue my focus will be on dehydration, its causes, remedies, and symptoms. There are given vital signs evaluated during your visit to the hospital. Vital signs include your temperature, pulse, blood pressure, respirations, and pain. Because of the high incidence of lack of water intake for the elderly, I am referring to water intake as the sixth vital sign.
Dehydration occurs when there is a loss of bodily fluids. Bodily fluids consist of water via sweat, urine, and stool. A lack of water intake, resulting in the taking in of fewer fluids and excreting more fluids, causes a fluid imbalance.
There are multiple causes of dehydration. Some of the causes are: excessive exercise, exposure to prolonged heat, prolonged vomiting, diarrhea, or fever. In some patients the inability to drink water, diabetes or another underlying medical condition may cause dehydration. In addition, patients that have frequent urination (in particular patients that are taking diuretics, which is a pill or food that increases the urge to urinate) are at a high risk for dehydration. Individuals with severe skin injury, such as burns, are at risk.
Symptoms of dehydration might not be very obvious. However, there are some traits that
you must be aware of when trying to figure out if you are dehydrated. Dry mouth and urinating less are symptoms. The color of urine is also a telltale sign of dehydration. Urine should be light yellow. Check your urine for shades of amber (very dark yellow), which is a sign that your urine is “concentrated,” and that you may be dehydrated. Other symptoms are feeling dizzy, palpitations, confusion, and a sluggish feeling.
What is the remedy? Sips of water are the best remedy if possible as well as drinking Gatorade or eating popsicles. Ice chips are effective as well. Often in the emergency room, fluids will be replaced with intravenous fluids (IVF) and your electrolytes should be checked. Electrolytes are your potassium, sodium, bicarbonate, and chloride. The electrolytes play an important role in the conduction of your heart and are critical components for replacement if needed. My suggestion is that before attempting any home remedies, notifying your doctor is the best approach if you suspect dehydration.
Prevention? My drink of choice is cucumber water. I love the taste and cucumber water has significant hydrating properties. I am not advising that everyone drink cucumber water but of course if your doctor approves you drinking it, then go for it. I believe you will love drinking this wonderful beverage! One important caution about drinking water is that drinking too much water can be fatal. It’s called “water intoxication” and can lead to death. What happens during water intoxication is that an excessive water intake causes your sodium levels to drop and a very low sodium level can lead to coma or death. So, drink with caution. Drinking gallons of water in a short period is not a good idea.

By Emilio Lacqyes Heading into Spring Training this year, Dodgers fans were excited about possessing what looked on paper to be arguably the best starting pitching rotation in baseball; Led by reigning National League (N.L.) MVP Clayton Kershaw and Ace #2 Zack Greinke, followed by solid Korean lefty Hyun Jin Ryu, and veteran newcomers Brandon McCarthy and Brett Anderson. But, alas, just as in 2014, the injury bug bit the boys in blue again. Before the season could even kick into full gear, Ryu and McCarthy went down, requiring season-ending shoulder and Tommy John surgeries, debilitating a rotation that looked stacked and ready to compete for a full season with N.L rivals like the Giants, Cardinals, and Nationals.
came into power this offseason to stack pitching depth as insurance policies in the case of unforeseen circumstances. It has worked to a degree so far, as guys like Mike Bolsinger and Carlos Frias have come in and done a substantial job to fill the void, along-
side Brett Anderson who has stepped into the #3 starter role with grace. This left a huge gap to fill, but President of Baseball Operations Friedman and GM partner Zaidi were ready to weather the storm. They worked diligently as soon as they
But as the Dodgers push into another late-summer stretch run, we must remind ourselves of the most important ingredient that a club with
hopes of winning a World Series must possess: pitching, pitching, and more pitching. Fantastic pitching, and enough runs. Unfortunately, the Dodgers stop-gap bottom of the rotation is just not strong enough to win a title, let alone create separation in the
N.L. West from the charging defending World Series champion Giants (ouch!). The injuries to Ryu and McCarthy, the looming opt-out clause for N.L. Cy Young front-runner Zack Greinke, and the looming free agency of now #3 starter Brett Anderson cre-
ates a possible recipe for chaos this offseason for the front office and future of the Dodgers pitching rotation. The last thing the Dodgers need going into this Winter is facing a possibility of a starting rotation that reads #1 Clayton Kershaw, followed by four question marks. Left handed ace Cole Hamels’ is once again being dangled by the Phillies, but this time around they seem serious about finally moving him. His services would provide one massive piece of the puzzle to solving this current pitching conundrum. He has a career 3.30 ERA and has tossed at least 300 innings for the last five seasons in a row. Hamels would help give L.A. a legitimate shot at the World Series now, and an insurance policy that would provide extra protection for the rotation for at least the next few years.

Dr Dre is about to release a Straight Outta Compton-inspired solo album, says Ice Cube Dr Dre is set to release his first solo album in nearly 16 years, according to Ice Cube and it could be here as soon as this weekend. Dre’s long-time collaborator let slip the news in an interview with Power 99, suggesting that the record will tie in with the forthcoming Nwa biopic Straight Outta Compton. What’s more, the followup to 1999’s “Tha Chronic” is said to be released as soon as
Saturday (August 1). “Dre is dropping an album inspired by the Compton movie. He’s dropping something on August 1,”
said Ice Cube. “It’s mega, it’s Dr Dre, it’s what everybody’s been wait-

Repair walls filled with dents, dings, and scuffs, and you’ll make rooms look young and fresh and maintain the value of your home. Fortunately, repairing walls is a good weekend warrior project. Here’s how to fix your home’s face in a hurry. Patch Drywall to Smooth Walls A putty knife, spackle, or joint compound can repair wall damage that ages a room. Dents and dings: A quart of spackle ($11) and a putty knife can fill dozens of small wall indentations. Spackle adheres to painted walls better than joint compound, though it takes a bit longer to dry. Cut wall repair time by thoroughly wiping away excess spackle. Fist-sized holes: Joint compound is your best bet when covering the mesh or drywall patches that cover big holes. You’ll need at least two thin coats of compound and fine grit sandpaper to blend repairs into the rest of the wall. Nail pops: Nail pops travel in packs: Rarely do you
see just one. To repair walls pocked with pops, hammer the popped nail back into the wall or pull it out with a needle-nose pliers; refasten the drywall to the nearest stud with a couple of screws, then fill dents with two or three coats of joint compound. Sand until smooth and flush with the rest of the wall, then repaint. Remove Marks for a Clean Start Microfiber cloths are little miracles that erase the evidence of a childhood well spent, drawing on and caroming off walls. To get rid of scuff marks and fingerprints: Spray an all-purpose cleaner onto the cloth (never directly onto walls to avoid drips) and swipe the scuff. (Test a hidden spot to make sure the cleaner doesn’t take off paint with the mark.) Pour a little dish soap onto a damp cloth and wipe the mark. Dip a sponge into an earthfriendly and slightly abrasive paste of dish soap, baking soda, and water, and gently scrub grime. To repair walls decorated with crayon marks, dab
toothpaste onto a towel or toothbrush and scrub marks. Use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser ($3), the best instant wall cleaner around. Wet and wring the eraser before attacking scuffs. Touch Up What You Can’t Wipe Out Prepare for inevitable touch-ups by keeping leftover paint or at least recording the paint number and/or formula (paint names change). Don’t have the original? Scrape off a little and ask your paint store to match it. For touch-ups, use the same type of brush or roller the original painter used. Feather the paint from the outside borders in. If touch-ups stand out, paint the entire wall, making sure to paint corner to corner and avoid splatters onto the ceiling and adjacent walls. Visit Houselogic.com for more articles like this.

Why is Water Important for the Human Body? Water is by far one of the most important nutrients for the human body. Our body is made of about 60% of water. Besides keeping our body temperature stable, helping with digestion (regulation of bowel movement) and circulation, water brings energy to our muscles and is an excellent source for beautiful skin. One critical reason for drinking water is to rid the body of toxins. BUN (blood, urea, nitrogen) is a toxin found in the body that passes out through the kidney and is a typical blood test during most hospital visits. This test will tell how well your kidneys are removing toxins. Make sure to ask your physician about this basic test during your next office visit.
This ends the topic of dehydration (the sixth vital sign)! My wish is that you stay healthy and hydrated this summer. Most impor-
tantly, seek medical attention if you suspect that you or a loved one is experiencing dehydration.
