I was asked to form a Global Coalition to counter isil. When someone makes the comment that they know more about the Islamic State or isil than do the generals, it implies a complete ignorance of the reality. But i believe secretary clinton really understands the threat that the Islamic State poses to the United States and to the american people. And i believe she understands how to wield American Power to ultimately defeat this threat and to keep us safe. Im Hillary Clinton weather is looking pretty good. Doesnt feel like its november. Its hard to complain. I mean you go outside in the mornings and its comfortable, low humidity a nice breeze. Eventually im sure some people want to pull out the scarves.

And we have that breeze up to about 14 Miles Per Hour in bartow. 14 Miles Per Hour in sarasota and those are the sustained winds. There are some spots where were getting stronger gusts. That but youre not seeing any clouds and a lot of that has to do with the very dry air especially the mid and upper levels of the atmosphere. When you get this color thats dry dry air above us and thats one of the reasons item sky is nice and blue. This blue color does show you where some extra moisture is and thats going to keeping it dry, but tomorrow ill add in about a 10 chance for a very quick light shower possibility.

We have our story on volunteer opportunities to take really some very special people into account. Reporter were talking about volunteers who give their time to hospice facilities, the wellbeing and do the same for their families. . As a member of the United States marine band diana fish played for the president. Now, as a volunteer at Hospice Centers in Pinellas County she plays for patients and their families facing one of lifes most difficult times. Its a very important time for the families. Dianas mus families are grieving the loss of a loved one. Its just almost like a background maybe a little sense of peace. Music is known to have a calming effect. And pet therapy can do the same. Thats why volunteers with special talents are vital to Nonprofit Health care centers like impact Staff Members too. It really takes someone with an open heart, someone that really wants to just serve and give something of themselves. While always in need of volunteers with special talents, hospice volunteers are also needed just to be a friendly face or a hand holder providing comfort to those who may be facing the end of their life.

Probably not the best thing well, its over trick or treating has now passed but now your home is filled with a bunch of things that can rot your teeth. And add a few pounds and its going to take mind over matter not to dive into it. Everything in moderation of course that is the key but you can also be prepared to battle those late day eating a solid breakfast high in protein and healthy fats such as eggs or a piece of toast. You can try sipping on tea, it has shown to reduce sugar cravings but if all else fails give the candy away. Or bring it to work and it will be gone in no time. All right.
