stuck on a verse
I've mentioned before that I periodically read parts of their Leadership Challenge - a great book to make leaders think about leading (something we all do far too infrequently). Much of the book centers around pondering one's own best leadership experience and then gleaning lessons from that time in your own life, with questions like "What did it feel like?" and "How did you respond to conflict in this time?"
It's impossible to get anything out of the book without first determining your personal best season of leadership, and once you land on that, the applications are voluminous. I've been pondering my own personal best season, and against that backdrop, I run smack into Daniel 10:7 & 8b.
I, Daniel, was the only one who saw the vision; the men with me did not see it, but such terror overwhelmed them that they fled and hid themseleves. So I was left alone...
Daniel's encounter must have been terifying to the others - even though they didn't really see it. Something about the look in his eye, the wildness of the moment and the reality that they didn't really understand caused them to run for the hills. Then, with the hangers-on gone, the Angel touched him and began to lay out a vision that would span 3 chapters on paper and centuries in time - some which is yet to be fulfilled. The vision was huge - and Daniel saw it alone.
I'm fasting and praying for such a vision. Not necessarily some sort of transcendental encounter (although it certainly would make for interesting blogging) but a vision from God that scares those around me. My personal best times of leadership were wild moments - times when I had a certain look in my eye...and that look drove away more than one person who liked the idea of vision but couldn't stomach the reality of the vision I was having.
Give me vision, God. Even if I'm left alone. I'd rather see Your reality and launch towards it with all my strength than mutter along with the masses in complacent codependency.

You have put to words a prayer that I have been feeling for years!
"Give me vision, God. Even if I'm left alone. I'd rather see Your reality and launch towards it with all my strength than mutter along with the masses in complacent codependency."
BTW, Chastity is in Ohio hearing Heidi Baker speak. That, coupled with that prayer, may mean we are on our way to Guatemala sooner than expected..:)

Tears are forming in my eyes. Partly because what you wrote is beautiful and partly because I am contending for the same thing: an encounter that would change me and those around me, forever.
Bless you, Randy. I might just have to purchase said book.

...They didn't see but was stirred.
Even though they may not have understood...they bore witness to "something" oh, that's interesting. You can't escape His Presence. No matter which side you're on. Interesting...I want God's reality. Man, I've been praying & weeping for it. I'm so hunger for it.
I call that total abandonment to the Lord....I want that too!!

In the current debate surrounding the Australian passports used in the assassination of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai, there are two equally unsound positions.
Firstly, there's the shrill (if exultant) Anti-Zionist response, that often tips over into outright racism. (see readers comments at the end of the stories)

A Night at the Plenum
On Monday night, the JCCV held a plenum, preceded by an address from The Age Editor-in-Chief, Paul Ramadge, and it seemed prudent to attend.
Among certain expected elements, there were also a few surprises. The plenum itself was run with consummate efficiency by JCCV President, John Searle.
I'd been bracing myself for an excruciating, anarchic talkfest that [...]
The New Direction
Not long after this blog began in May, a phenomenon emerged: some of the more interesting developments began to take place either via email, or offline altogether.
After having lived away from the community – both in Australia and overseas – for ten years, I began reconnecting with Jews from the various sub-communities, and from different generations.
This was both a refresher course (some things hadn't changed) and a steep learning curve, as I navigated through the labyrinthine arcana of communal politics and caught up on developments among the younger generations.
Since returning from the hiatus and outing myself in early August, blog-related activity offline has become even more frenetic. Being "out" has given me the opportunity to meet numerous people, and some of the more inspiring and exciting developments seem to be coming from Generations X and Y.
A Brief History of The Sensible Jew
This piece was originally published in The AJN in September.
In February, I received an email that had gone viral in Melbourne's Jewish community. It claimed that owners of a Caulfield-area restaurant were anti-Semites and urged readers to boycott it. On the one hand, something in the email's tone aroused my suspicion. On the other, I [...]
In The New Year 2: Thoughts After Yom Kippur
One of my grandparents never set foot in a concentration camp.
All four went through the Holocaust and all four lost most of the people they ever knew; but one – my paternal grandmother – managed to spend the war in Poland without being captured by the Nazis.
All such stories are intricate, complicated tales of foresight, [...]
How to Make Enemies and Repel People: Robert Goot and 60 Minutes
For those still defending our current leadership's handling of public relations, please ask yourselves this question: if our leaders are so very effective, why does Israel continue to receive consistently unflattering press?
Indeed, problematic coverage, which used to be the preserve of the public broadcasters, has now bled into the mainstream.
The 60 Minutes segment, "Hate Thy [...]
AJN – Loose Lips and the Holocaust
It's the sort of article one has to read twice just to make sure it's not a hallucination.
On page 3 of this week's AJN we learn, yet again, how close we are to another Holocaust.
Or perhaps we learn that if you complain enough to the ABC, they'll say only positive things about Jews.
Or that it's [...]
Stridency: The Enemy of Persuasion
After the pool closed at the end of summer, there wasn't much to do on kibbutz.
During our year in Israel, on a youth movement leadership programme, my group and I spent half the time on an isolated socialist idyll that sustained itself by operating a large plastics factory.
When Autumn arrived, the recreation choices diminished to [...]

This meet started for us on Friday with a 3 hour drive up through the middle of Wales on the A470 and A483, fantastic roads making a cracking drive. Unfortunately Kay was a bit under the weather with an upset tummy and headache, but bless her she soldiered on. Arrived at the Wild Pheasant Hotel, Llangollen around half six, lovely place, easy to find (even for my Pratt Nav ).
The hotel and Plasma arriving:
A few drinks were had in the bar with me, Kay, Plasma, Mark, Cara, Nick, Claire and Kieran, before we headed off to dinner. Great food, even if it was a little slow coming out and the Trout that was ordered looked suspiciously like Salmon! Tony and Eira arrived whilst we were eating but we joined them in the bar as soon as we could. Kay wandered off for a bath to recover a bit from the day, catch up on some Uni reading and get some sleep.
Meanwhile we all had a good natter in the bar whilst consuming several pints of lager.
First thing in the morning, well second actually, breakfast was first lol, we all convoyed down to Tony's house for some car cleaning. My Pratt Nav decided we really wanted to take the scenic route and merrily took us half way round north wales before we evetually arrived at Tony's where all the cars were duly cleaned:
After a cup of tea, Friday finally caught up with Kay and she grabbed a few ZZZZ's:
Next it was off to the Ponderosa Cafe, via the Horseshoe Pass, a stunning drive that we've done a few times on the way to Ruthin Castle. The weather was cold and windy at this point but the cloud base wasn't too low and the rain was holding off, so there were some good views to be had on the drive up.
Arrived at the Ponderosa to find a few there waiting for us and a couple more joined us just after, in total I think we had 10 cars and about 16.5 people, not bad for a cold, windy October meet. Met a few new faces for me, Boris and Razor and bumped into some 'old' friends in Spoons and Diana, Ukanalyst, Mrs Dave and Andyvec (apologies if I missed anyone).
Had a few photos before we went for some lunch and a bit of shopping:
I made the mistake of saying something like "good job the rain held off" prompting the heavens to open just as we were about to go back outside.
We drove about 1/2 a mile back down the pass to a lay-by where we took a few more photos and Tony had the 'Sheep Poo Incident'
Then it was a lovely drive down through the pass with the sun trying to break through, back to the hotel. Several test drives were next on the card and I got to take Plasma's baby out for a damn good thrashing I've seen the light and it's on the dark side
Tea, coffee and some goodbyes back in the bar. Nice 3 hour drive back and a wrestling match with the computers to get the photos up followed lol.
Thank you SO much to everyone for coming along, it's been a great weekend with some fantastic mates and look forward to doing it all over again soon

text: Hi, I have 8 hens that have been laying pretty regular since they were about 4 months old. They are about ten months old now. I normally run a 20% layer ration for them but discovered that I can get spent grains from a local micro brewery for free. I tried swapping them over to the spent grains and supplementing with oyster shells but they stopped laying. I went back to straight 20% rations with supplemental oyster shells and they went back to laying. Now I have the 20% layer out and a tin with the spent grains "on the side" so to speak and it seems like they have almost stopped laying again. It has been about 2 weeks in between the food changes and egg production changes. My understanding is the spent grain runs about 28% protein and low carbohydrates. Looking at the layer ration bag it seems that the protein/carb ratios are about the same (minus the 8%). So, what is it about the spent grain that slows my girls down? I've seen numerous posts that tell of folks feeding their hens the spent grain and have seen one other post asking about egg production and the spent grains. It would be nice to supplement them in the winter anyhow with a free food source. Any suggestions on how to feed them the grains without losing egg production would be appreciated. Thanks, Scott

The First Rotavirus Vaccine and the Politics of Acceptable Risk
Context: Vaccination in the United States is a frequent source of controversy, with critics alleging failures by public health officials to adequately identify, monitor, and respond to risks associated with vaccines. In response to these charges, the case of RotaShield, a vaccine withdrawn in 1999 following confirmation of a serious adverse event associated with its use, is regularly invoked as evidence of the effectiveness of current vaccine safety activities.
Methods: This article examines the history of RotaShield, with particular attention paid to decision making regarding its use in the United States and internationally. I reviewed and analyzed federal advisory committee meeting transcripts, international conference reports, government and scientific publications, media coverage, and other primary and secondary source materials. I also conducted six semistructured interviews with former senior officials and advisory committee members at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention who participated in decisions regarding the vaccine.
Findings: Decision making regarding RotaShield, including the ultimate withdrawal of its recommendation for use, was shaped significantly by government health officials' concern for preserving public confidence in overall U.S. vaccination efforts amid several unrelated vaccine risk controversies ongoing at that time. This attention to public perception and external pressures occurred in tandem with the evaluation of the quantitative evidence regarding the magnitude and severity of the risk associated with the vaccine. The decisions made in the United States resulted in foreseen but unintended consequences for international use of the vaccine, including in nations where the profile of risks and potential benefits was dramatically different.
Conclusions: As enthusiasm for evidence-based decision making grows throughout medicine and public health, greater explicit attention should be directed to the processes by which decision makers and their expert advisers evaluate such evidence and translate it into regulation and policy by means of qualitative judgments.

Just today walking locally, I spotted primrose, cuckoo-flower, blackthorn, violet, wood anemone all in flower.
There were lots of brimstone butterflies, a few comma butterflies, as well as peacock and small tortoiseshell.
The pussy willow is coming in to flower now and that is always one of the earliest forms of pollen available to the insects...

There will be somebody who knows for sure, there are far too many for my liking to choose from. I hope to improve my skills though as I get into using the moth trap again through 2014.
In fact, I may well dig it out and set up in the next few days if the weather stays as it is.
Since that find I have discovered another moth. This time on one of my afternoon walks. It was sitting on a fence-post and well camouflaged. It seemed very lethargic and wasn't at all bothered by my taking pictures and was still in exactly the same spot when I passed again sometime later.
I wonder if this one could be an early grey moth. Flying time seems just about right but again, just not sure-to me the markings seem to be less distinctive than I would expect. Whatever it turns out to be, it is nice to see these returning as so many insects are now that the weather is more forgiving.
Finally for now, here's what I think is a wolf spider exhibiting Ballooning behaviour (link)...
Until the next time.....

Good morning, and a very happy Friday. WHOOHOO!
So everyone has heard that the early bird gets the worm… well, today's story isn't about the "early" bird. Frankly, it isn't about the bird who squeaks in under the buzzer, or even about the bird that might have thought about being early but really just showed up accidentally on time. It's about the bird that intentionally does what they say they will do. GASP. You mean that there are people in the world who don't do what they say?! Great Scott…
Yes, friends, it's true. The world is full of unreliable, flakey, undependable, selfish people who place their own interests above everyone else, which isn't in and of itself a horrible thing, but when you're in business, you better get your priorities straight. There is no room for selfishness when your customers depend on you and how you interact with them. Customer service and dependability is truly the straw that broke the camel's back.
If you say you're going to call (after an appointment was made) at 2 PM and my phone rings at 3:59 with no prior notice, no apology, and not even the decency of letting me know a conflict came up, my business is going elsewhere. If I make an appointment to look at tuxes at 1 PM and you don't acknowledge our presence until 1:10 – I'm out. Common courtesy is sorely missing in our culture. Truly, it's not that hard to say "We are slammed at the moment but will be with you in a minute" or better yet "I know we have an appointment scheduled but let me finish this customer" or the greatest, "I'm so sorry to have made you wait, how can I help solve XX problem?" AMAZING! If people just did that, I'm convinced that the average blood pressure in America would be lower by 30%. OK, maybe that's a bit far, but you get the idea.
Let me be very clear – I am dealing with several huge events this year, none of which I've experienced before. I don't have time to tolerate your crappy customer service because I barely have time for the things I need to accomplish! All I need is one micro, itty bitty, seemingly unimportant reason to not work with you, and that's exactly what will happen.
On the flip side, there have been three shining examples of birds (read: businesses) that do exactly what they said they will, exactly when they said they would do it, and don't stop assisting me until it's exactly what I was expecting the outcome to be! HOW REFRESHING!
Shining Customer Service Examples
- USAA @usaa – This insurance company primarily serves military families, and those fortunate to be grandfathered in. There's a reason that 12/10 (see what I did there) customers are 95% likely to stay with them for life. They do what they say! Granted, I do pay a slight premium, but for absolutely stellar customer service, it's worth every penny. I have auto and renter's insurance through them, perform all my banking, and am soon going to have a home mortgage as well. They absolutely kick ass! Each phone representative is thoughtful, considerate, and genuinely interested in helping me out. Bravo!
- Zappos @zappos – This Las Vegas based "shoe store" (which has now grown into a huge clothing/accessory conglomerate) is known for zany, funky customer service. Clearly, their employees have fun! Seriously, call them sometime. Awesome. It's easy to purchase products, they have shopping assistants who are more than willing to offer up opinions, and again, top notch customer service. They even sent me a refund for shoes that I accidentally mailed back to them. Catch was, I hadn't purchased those shoes from them either. Yes, I was that dumb.
- Home Depot @thehomedepot – Everyone knows this bright and vivacious orange company, and for good reason. They're the best at home improvement products, services, and assistance. They hire bright and cheerful associates who, frankly, can be somewhat intimidating based on their breadth of knowledge, they're great at walking you to the product aisle that you need, and make sure that you get exactly what you need (not always the same as what you're looking for). Even something as simple as exchanging products that I don't need even when I can't find my receipt is refreshing. LET'S DO THIS!
Setting yourself apart in the world isn't terribly difficult. You need to be punctual, work with integrity, show enthusiasm, don't lie, and be considerate of other's time more than your own. Do that and you will stand as a shining star. Don't do that, and your name is sure to be tainted faster than you can say supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Katrina resta sotto l'ombrellone - Katrina stays under the beach umbrella.
We spent the morning ironing and packing for our Amsterdam trip. I also had to make sure the cat feeder/water feeder were full and that the house was in order.
We had a very quick and sudden thunderstorm this morning. Two very loud thunder crashes and some very light rain, then it passed over.
I spent the afternoon getting ready for our trip. Brandon played with his cars. He made an Autodromo track on his bedroom floor.
Sweeping, folding laundry, making sure the house is closed up for our trip.
Brandon and I rode bikes over to the back so that could get some more cash for our trip. The skies were darkening again. As soon as I had the cash, the skies opened up and it began to pour. We stood under the awning for about 10min, then decided to ride home when it let up a bit. We were soaked by the time we got home, which is only about 3 blocks. I can still hear thunder occasionally.
Katrina arrived home around 7pm. She showed me the latest damage to our car. No, she didn't back into the garage door frame again. Apparently, about the same time Brandon and I got caught in the rainstorm, they had a big hail storm at work. The roof and hood of the car are full of dents and our windshield has cracks. I guess we will be trading it in for rental car #3 when we return from our trip.
Our trip to the hotel was quite the adventure. We caught bus z221 from Vedano to Monza then had to switch buses to another z221 at the main station. This second bus took us to Sesto San Giovanni, where we caught the Metro to Cadorna station. In Cadorna switched over to the Malpensa Express train that took us to Malpensa airport. At the airport we had caught the Novotel Hotel shuttle, finally arriving 3 hours after leaving our apartment. We were tired (it was close to 11pm), so we went straight to bed after making sure we had a 5:45am wakeup call.

A Transgender woman is assigned male at birth (downstairs; the plumbing) but has a female gender identity (upstairs; the brain). Like all variants to heterosexuality, one's gender identity will lead to who the person will be attracted to.
Transgender people experience pain at all levels. They are often ridiculed and isolated. The surgery to change their sex is long and involved.
So please take a moment and honor Dr. Levine in her struggle to become who she really is. And thank you Governor Wolf for your equanimity in hiring. You have made a bold statement for the good and have led well by example.
Article: On Saturday, Governor-Elect Tom Wolf released the names of four more members of his cabinet, one of which is a transgender woman, Dr. Rachel Levine, who will serve as his physician general.
Dr. Levine, a resident of Middletown, Pennsylvania, is currently a professor of Pediatrics and Psychiatry at the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, where she also serves as chief of the Division of Adolescent Medicine and Eating Disorders, a program she created on her own. She has also worked actively with the school's Office of Diversity, mentoring LGBT students, faculty and staff, and she sits on the board of Equality PA.
In her role as physician general, Levine will advise the governor and secretary of the Department of Health on medical and public health-related issues. In a press release sent out this weekend, Wolf explains why he chose her for this position:
"Dr. Rachel Levine is well-respected in the fields of pediatrics, psychiatry, and behavioral health, where she has practiced for close to three decades. She has been a leading voice in efforts to treat teens with medical and psychological problems, as well as adults and children with eating disorders. It is important to me that we place equal emphasis on behavioral and physical health issues. Dr. Levine will bring expertise and wide-ranging knowledge to this important role advising the secretary of Health and me on medical and public health matters."
A rep from Wolf's office wasn't able to confirm with 100 percent certainty, but he believes Dr. Levine is the first transgender woman to hold the title of physician general.

Table Time in the Modern Age
Or should I say, "Table Time in Spite of the Modern Age?"
The point is, too many people feel that just being in the same room is enough. And there are those who rarely do that anymore. I'm not saying to kill your t.v. or check your phone at the door. I am saying that it would be better to have some place and time when the outside world is left outside. Signing up your family members for a MMORPG account and doing quests together is social, yes, but in a sad, sad way.
Tables are great for social interaction. If you can't seem to connect with your family on a meaningful level over a meal just yet, then try any of a wide variety of table games that are out there. Not all families can converse without heated arguments sending something into the trashcan (I've eaten with you. I know). Try turning those arguments into competitiveness. Nothing can justify animosity better than a game.
Families that have fun together... well... have fun together.
My daughter isn't old enough to play anything more advanced than look-at-the-toy, hold-up-your-head, or how-long-can-you-hold-the-rattle. As a former youngun, I can remember living in my parents' very social home. I've been to houses with teens, tweens, and energy vampires, and it doesn't take long to tell which families set aside time to be a family from those who pass each other in the halls.
I wouldn't suggest quitting the screens cold turkey. Start off just by trying to demonstrate some simple courtesy (hundreds of thousands of moviegoers will thank you). And lead by example. Nothing will build up resentment and rebellion more a than do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do attitude. Think about your attitude toward our government and you'll understand what I'm talking about.
Courtesy can and will prompt a change from looking in the area between the plate and stomach to heads up, eyes forward, and realizing that there are people in the room with whom to speak. The best way to get there relies on incentive and reward, not restriction and punishment. You've got to be ten times more interesting than whatever they're doing to avoid you, not the subject of their next flame.
What's worked for you?

Table time is a great thing...however, very difficult to achieve in this day and age. It's easier when your kids are small and your spouse has a 9-5 job,but becomes more difficult outside those perameters. A sad commentery on today's socialital priorities. I know, as I fell into the trap! From the time the girls entered Kindergarten we were flying to dance, karate,music, Girl Scouts, Youth Group...you get the idea. While we did sit down at the table to eat, is was rushed, in most cases, so we get to the next activity. Why did we participate in all thosed activities? ONE reason was socialital expectations...you know, producing the outstanding, well rounded, self confident, team player,and talented child ready to take on college and the world. (I also have a child with learning disabilities, so I had other related motivations.) Moving from childhood to teenhood reduces the VARIETY of activities, while increasing the FREQUENCY of the one or two activities they have opted to participate in. Moving into young adulthood, you now have very little control over any of your kids' activities, usually of a social variety, and are fortunate to text time, much less face time.
My point is, busy...ness, makes QUALITY table time dinner impossible. Busy...ness OUTSIDE the home dosn't leave much energy for table time GAMES either. So, how did my Mom do it?

So, how did my Mom do it? I took ballet, piano, art, Girl Scouts... We always had dinner a 6:00pm, leisurely and talkative. Looking back I see three differences. 1) My Mom worked inside the home, formerly called housewife. So, she didn't need to rush home from work and rush dinner preperations. 2) Activities were always scheduled to occur right after school to be completed prior to dinner preparation time. With Moms working today, activities must be scheduled later in the day. 3) Mom's intent was to open new artistic world's that school did not offer. Societally, now we put our kids in activities just to "keep up with the Jones'."
So, while table time is a great thing, one must really work hard to honor it. It really takes a concerted effort to decide what, if anything, will be allowed to infringe upon it (including preparation and clean-up time). It's time to prioritize what our children REALLY need, and not worry so much about keeping them busy, worrying about their college applications or keeping up with those "neighbors".

Well said, Gussie. Thank you very much for your time, words, and perspective. The best way for me to respond is in a future blog post about perpetual motion. I had a _very_ active high school experience and even more so in college. So, I have a sense of what you are talking about personally, and I've seen that kind of lifestyle, too. It's not a good thing. So,... Thanks also for the blog concept. I'll give you an acknowledgment in it.

Rosehaven at Bradford Place is putting the finishing touches on a quick-delivery home that includes a special buyer bonus.
KIRKLAND — For those shopping for a new home for the holidays, a quick-delivery opportunity is available at Rosehaven at Bradford Place. The Eastside community is putting the finishing touches on a home that will be move-in ready in December.
Built by Toll Brothers, the home features the Bradley design and includes a special buyer bonus, says Rita Pettit, the community sales manager.
"The package includes all of the essential appliances — a stainless steel KitchenAid refrigerator, a front-loading Whirlpool washer and dryer," she says. "We are also including window coverings and a fence encircling the yard for added privacy."
The Bradley is a two-story shingle home on a landscaped corner lot that feels both private and inviting, Pettit says. The 2,672-square-foot home has four bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and a two-car garage. On entry, homeowners are greeted by a wide foyer that leads to a home office with French-door entry.
The open floor plan includes a great room with fireplace, a dining room that opens to an attached covered porch, and an open kitchen with a center island and raised breakfast bar.
"The home has beautiful white cabinets and quartz countertops with a marble look, the latest in kitchen design," says Pettit. "Throughout the home, homeowners will find contemporary, yet timeless details that give it a polished, luxury finish."
The second floor includes a secluded master bedroom with an array of windows for natural sunlight. There is a walk-in closet, along with a master bath with a dual vanity, shower stall and separate tub.
The upper level also features the secondary bedrooms — two of which have a walk-in closet — a home-planning center and the laundry room.
In addition to the Bradley, Rosehaven at Bradford Place is preselling single and paired homes with Craftsman and contemporary exteriors. Purchase of one of these homes includes a complimentary consultation with a professional designer at the Design Studio in Kirkland. Buyers can choose from signature colors, designer lighting, custom hardware and home-automation options.
"A major draw to purchasing any home at Rosehaven is the neighborhood's coveted location," says Pettit. "It's less than five minutes from I-405, offering swift access to the tech triangle, an ideal commute for those who work at Amazon or Microsoft."
Rosehaven at Bradford Place is within close proximity of Kirkland, Bellevue and Redmond for dining and entertainment options. It is served by the top-rated Lake Washington School District.

Almost daily I have someone ask "What is that little black stone in your showcase? Is it black onyx or what?" Most definitely these little & some not so little black stones have come into their own as of late. Yes, I think "Black Diamonds" are definitely here to stay in fine jewelry fashions. But I digress...what are black diamonds and where do they come from?
Various global deposits have produced black diamonds going back to diamond mining's glory days in Brazil and later in South Africa. A particular black diamond of legend is the 33.74 carat pear shaped Amsterdam Black Diamond from the 1970's. Originally this diamond was destined for industrial use until it was discovered to be tough when it met the diamond saw. It was later cut into a fetching pear shape that earned $352,000 US when it sold at Christie's Geneva in 2001. Today the diamond is estimated to be worth millions.
With more & more designs featuring black diamonds, we've incorporated them into our inventory mix here at The Gold Mine with great success! It seems you our client's enjoy the look and have found that just like "White Diamonds"...their neutral shade goes with most any outfit.
If you're curious about "Black Diamonds" or other colored diamonds in general..give me a buzz at 828-726-1009 or better yet, stop by and we'll show you these shaded beauties!
Until Next Time,

So, here are some more pics of Treslie. I stopped in Red Deer en route to Edmonton on Monday the 25th for dinner, and returned again on the evening of Thursday the 28th for a day of relaxing.
Reid & Treslie
Treslie - Friday 29th. She's definitely looking a lot more human and less simian (as all newborns do) as she gains back some weight and gets some depth in her cheeks.
Treslie absolutely HATED the flash after this picture. She gave me the 'f**k you' grimace once the flash went off. I suspect the film over newborn's eyes makes them pretty sensitive to light and such. Do you think that's the reason why we end up having to get glasses is because of all the flashes that go off in our eyes when we're babies?

The admission is usually about US $30.00, but for one week each year the admission is just two kilos of food. As poor missionaries we took advantage of the two kilos of food admission. There were lots of other people taking advantage of this as well, and Snowland collected lots of food as you can see in the pictures.
We went in wearing light summertime clothing.
There were so many people in line we were not sure everyone could make it in.
Once we were through the admission area we were sent to the clothing area. They give each person a full set of winter clothing to put on all sized to fit; a helmet, coat, snow pants, boots and gloves. Our personal stuff we put in a locker.
We then went through a divider into the cold area.
They have a little hill you can ski or snowboard on, but you have to pay an extra US $20 to rent the equipment. We did not feel it was worth it for that small hill you can see on the right.
There is a small tubing hill that is free and we all tried that.
There is one area where they tell the story of a snow giant and have a presentation where it starts to snow.
They have several replicas of animals that lived in the snow.
There was ice skating but we decided not to try it for fear of falling down and breaking something.
All in all we had a fun time and felt that it was a great place for Brazilians that have never seen snow before. After Snowland we went to lunch at Subway, one of two American eateries in Gramado, the other being McDonald's. Outside the Subway is a Fountain of Eternal Love. People put their names on locks and attach them to the fence around the fountain.

Introducing, Nikki Crowe…
Anniin! My name is Nikki Crowe, the new 13 Moons program coordinator. I am happy to join the Fond du Lac community. A little about myself: I enjoy learning about people and plants. I have spent some time growing heritage varieties of corn, beans and squash. One variety of corn I learned about came from Leech Lake, its is called Bear Island flint. This corn was used for flour and polenta. I love gardening and believe one way to honor the earth is to sow the earth with good seeds.
I received my Associates degree in Environmental Science at Haskell Indian Nations University. I have worked on several research projects having to do with prairie restoration, plant surveying, and climate change affecting crop plants.
What I hope to see the 13 Moons program accomplish is bringing the community together to learn from one another, gain knowledge of the intrinsic value of our land, air and water resources, the impact of our local economy, and create a knowledge base of traditional ecological skills readily and easily accessible to our younger generation.
I believe the continued success of the 13 Moons program will come from the community of Fond du Lac. Our elders and elders-in-training will provide the knowledge and wisdom of our Ojibwe traditions and language to guide our youth into a sustainable future for themselves and the land.

Move to round up cowboy accountants
A band of Scottish small firms is planning to lobby Westminster MPs in the hope of getting the word 'accountancy' recognised as a legal term with restricted use.
A band of Scottish small firms is planning to lobby Westminster MPs in the hope of getting the word 'accountancy' recognised as a legal term with restricted use.
The seven firms in Montrose are to begin the action as a result of deepening concern about the growth in unqualified accountants in their area.
They want to see the term accountancy restricted to only those professionals qualified with the six main British accountancy bodies.
Concern, they say, has grown because the public has no way of telling if anyone who calls themselves an accountant is properly qualified.
Grant Walker, partner at Harris Walker in Montrose, said: 'We are trying to get it across to clients that you have to be talking to people qualified with the recognised bodies.'
Partners at the Montrose firms come from ICAS, ICAEW and ACCA, and there is consternation that there has so far been little support from the partners' professional bodies.
A spokesman from ACCA said the body thought new legislation was unlikely. 'We believe there is little chance of getting a restriction of competition accepted in the current political climate,' he said.
'The Department of Trade and Industry has already said that registration could not be an option because it would be difficult to define the term.'
Andrew Christie, president of ICAS, expressed sympathy but said he too believed legislation would be difficult. 'My main concern is that, as a profession, we use so many descriptions for ourselves it would be very difficult to legislate to restrict effectively their use.'
The Montrose accountants have already met with members of the Scottish parliament but will concentrate their efforts on lobbying Westminster when the House of Commons returns after the summer break.

Trading has remained staid late in the day on Wall Street, with the Dow bound in a tight trading range of just 65 points all day. With just under half an hour to the close in New York, the Dow was down 8 points or 0.05% at 15,786, while the S&P 500 index had nosed its way into positive territory, up 0.07% or 1.2 points at 1798.2.
The restrained pattern of trading in the stock market is not surprising given the dearth of macroeconomic news out in the US today. Things will be slightly busier tomorrow in this regard, with wholesale inventories for December and the monthly job openings report from the US Labor Department, but the attention of the market is likely to be largely focused on what Janet Yellen has to say to the House of Representatives tomorrow, in her first official remarks on the economy since assuming Chairmanship of the Federal Reserve.
With the latest jobs data anything but reassuring, she will likely have little choice but to admit to continuing fragility in the economy, but it would be surprising for Ms Yellen to indicate any departure from the expected plan which, in the words of the last FOMC statement, is that the Fed 'will likely reduce the pace of asset purchases in further measured steps at future meetings.' Inflation is another area of the economy that is not ideal, sticking stubbornly well below the Fed's 2% target rate, and I will be particularly interested in hearing how concerned Ms Yellen is over the inflation outlook.

Euro periphery exports boost bloc's surplus
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – The eurozone trade surplus widened in November because imports fell more sharply than exports, although shipments from the southern periphery rose in a sign that the bloc's worst-hit economies are regaining competitiveness. Exports from Spain, Portugal and Greece were up by 4 percent in the January to November period, compared to a year earlier, data from the European Union's statistics office showed yesterday, and cumulative trade deficits shrank in all three year-on-year. That adds to signs that those countries which have struggled over the past few years to contain high debt levels via harsh austerity measures and to pull their economies out of recession are starting to improve. "It is encouraging that Spain, Portugal and Greece achieved export growth,

Acumyn and Standard Imaging form Collaboration for Automated QA/in News /by the Acumyn Team
Acumyn's AQUA platform has the power to improve the efficiency and workflows in radiation therapy departments—including providing automated daily quality assurance (QA) for radiation therapy clinics and hospitals. AQUA can directly interface with automated quality control software and hardware to minimize the burden of QA activities, and Standard Imaging has become one of the first radiation calibration instrument manufacturers to integrate their technology—the QA BeamChecker Plus—with the AQUA platform to realize these benefits.
"We are pleased to welcome Standard Imaging to the AQUA ecosystem as an early OEM partner sharing our vision to deliver an automated QA platform to oncology clinics worldwide," says Ferhan Bulca, CEO of Acumyn.
"We believe a unified and integrated approach to QA data sharing has the potential to improve efficiency and usefulness in patient care. Products like AQUA and Standard Imaging's new QA Pilot software are efficient data management solutions for the future of radiation therapy's knowledge based QA platforms," says Edward Neumueller, CEO of Standard Imaging, Inc.
Under an exclusive global agreement AQUA is sold and marketed by Elekta who will be demonstrating this vendor-neutral system on their booth at the 3rd ESTRO Forum in Barcelona, Spain in April 2015. Demonstrations will highlight AQUA's integration with Elekta Linacs, the QA BeamChecker Plus as well as other QA devices and radiation therapy hardware.
Acumyn is the Ontario-based company behind the development of AQUA, an end-to-end system for managing department-level quality assurance workflows and scheduling in radiation therapy that provides a software link between the disparate systems in a department. Standard Imaging is a US-based leading provider of radiation calibration instruments used in radiation therapy and other medical fields.

Acumyn's AQUA platform has the power to automate quality control software and hardware, which will improve efficiency and workflows in radiation therapy departments—including providing automated morning QA for radiation therapy clinics and hospitals. PTW has become one of the first dosimeter manufacturers to integrate their technology—PTW's network-capable UNIDOSwebline universal dosimeter—with the AQUA platform to realize these benefits.
Ferhan Bulca, CEO of Acumyn, says "We believe that customers have been looking for an integrated and automated tool for routine QC, and this collaboration with PTW and their connected dosimeter is a giant step toward making those hopes and aspirations a reality."
Bernd Allgaier, Head of Product Management at PTW quote "Our UNIDOSwebline has been the dosimeter of choice around the world from a performance standpoint, and we're proud that including modern network features can enable exciting new applications like this integration with AQUA to automate functions within a busy clinic.-"

UHN and Acumyn Inc. have secured a global development and distribution deal with Elekta Limited./0 Comments/in News /by the Acumyn Team
[UHN article: UHN Research ]
University Health Network (UHN) and its spin-off company, Acumyn Inc., have secured an exclusive development and global distribution agreement with one of the world's biggest radiation therapy companies, Elekta Ltd, to bring to market UHN's AQUA quality management system software for radiation therapy clinics. The agreement will see UHN's award-winning AQUA platform developed into a marketable product by Acumyn and then offered to cancer clinics around the world by Elekta, a leading manufacturer of linear accelerators for cancer treatment.
AQUA is a comprehensive software platform that coordinates and centralizes all of the quality assurance tests that need to be performed in a radiotherapy clinic, helping to manage the complexity of these testing requirements.
"AQUA fills a big gap that customers have today. A linear accelerator and associated devices need to be calibrated and maintained on a regular basis. AQUA provides a software link between all the disparate systems and manages the workload, scheduling and reporting of routine QA tasks," says Dee Mathieson, Senior Vice President, Oncology Business Line Management at Elekta.
In use for the past two years in Toronto at UHN's Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, a top-five global cancer hospital, AQUA is a vendor-neutral product that has successfully connected, calibrated and managed over 20 of UHN's cancer therapy machines. It was originally developed and clinically implemented by Drs. David Jaffray and Daniel Létourneau, of UHN's Princess Margaret Cancer Center and TECHNA Institute.
"The current model for quality control (QC) in radiation oncology is to perform basic QC tests daily to detect machine performance while higher accuracy QC tests are performed less frequently (e.g. monthly) due to their time consuming nature," says Dr Daniel Létourneau, Associate Head of Physics at the Princess Margaret Cancer Center. "With AQUA, high accuracy QC tests can now be performed daily in order to assess true machine performance and optimize the accuracy of radiation oncology treatment delivery."
Acumyn Inc. was spun out of UHN with the purpose of bringing AQUA to market.
"We are delighted to have solidified this commercial relationship and cooperation with Elekta which allowed Acumyn to complete its incubation phase. It is an important milestone in terms of commercializing UHN technologies and creating high-quality local jobs and globally-significant healthcare products," says Mark Taylor, UHN's Director of Commercialization, Techna.
"Securing global distribution for a product while it is still in development is a huge achievement," says Dr. Ferhan Bulca, Acumyn's CEO. "It speaks to the clear need for a product like AQUA to simplify and eliminate human error and ensure that cancer therapy components are aligned to deliver the right amount of radiation to the right areas of the body."
Elekta will begin piloting Acumyn's market-ready version of AQUA starting in January 2015, before adding it to its commercial portfolio in April 2015.

Picture: The nice green bit to the right of the pic, not the "fun" bit to the left. The Lost Valley part Deux by thomas_g 24 Mar 2012 The trip to Douce/Doughill is like going back in time, lots of roads with grass growing in the middle. Parked at W13389 62823 A (Point A) (room for 6 cars), which is a lay-by off a forest road (keep right). Please bear in mind that this is a Coillte road so it may be closed for forest operations. Once parked, head west down the road for 200m metres and through the gate, if you plan on doing Douce first, see my comments on that summit. For an ascent of just Doughill walk down the road to W124 633 B then follow the stream up to the saddle between Douce and Doughill. When you come to a fence, running N/S follow it north much of the way to the top of Doughill. Doughill summit is marked by a small cairn of stones and offers lovely views North, West and East, although perhaps not quite as nice as Douce. Once you're at the top, head north a few hundred metres until you can see a grassy gully, (make sure it's the one you see in the photo I didn't go far enough north and it was very steep and slippery), you can follow this gully east to the base of the mountain and across the fields to the farm road, which you can follow back to the car. The circuit of Douce, Doughill and back the farm road was 8km and took 2.5 hours.

Unless you have been living underneath a rock for the last ten years, you must have noticed that the price of tickets for live music has gone through the roof. As recording artists no longer make as much money from the sales of their music has they used to do, they have had to find another may to earn a living, and this unfortunately has resulted in us paying more when we go and see a live show.
However, rather than sitting there are blaming the music industry for ruining our fun, there are a few things that we can do to try and bring the price of our tickets down a bit, so if you are planning on attending a gig any time soon, you might want to try out a few of these tips.
Join a Fan club or Subscribe to the Newsletter
If your favourite artist is planning a live tour in the future, make sure that you are signed up to their email newsletter. More often than not, artists will offer their biggest fans the opportunity to purchase tickets before they go on sale to the general public. This means that you have a better chance of getting hold of the tickets that you want and you are less likely to have to bid of them on a secondary ticket site where the prices can be extortionate. Also, fan clubs are sometimes offered tickets at a discounted price, so if you really like a band or a singer, make sure that you are a member.
Never Use Secondary Ticket Sites
When you miss out on getting tickets from the official source it can be very frustration, especially if the tickets appear to sell out within a matter of minutes, only to resurface for sale on another website within hours. The problem is that these secondary site normally charge a huge mark up fee and yo will end up paying through the nose if you buy tickets from them. Tempting as it may be, try and stay well away from sites like those.
Search For Promo Codes
Often the big ticket website will offer promo codes to give you a discount off the price of your ticket. If you spend a minute or two cheeking on a site like Fliggo or any other that lists vouchers, then you might find that you can get 10% or even 20% off the price. You have to be lucky with timing here because if there aren't any vouchers available at the time when you need to buy your ticket, there is not much that you can do. Nevertheless, it is always worth checking, to find out one way or another.
Use Social Media
When a show sells out, instead of turning straight to expensive websites or touts, try asking friends on social media if they know anybody who has tickets that they no longer need. Often people buy tickets and later discover that they are unable to attend a gig, and if this is the case you might be able to get them for a fraction of the price that you would have to pay elsewhere. Although you might be desperate to get hold of your tickets, try and be patient, because if you are not, you will end up paying more.

If you have had any sort of surgery on your shoulder, you know that there are a lot of problems that can come along as you're working out details in these situations. How are you supposed to know what you're doing and do you know ways in which you can work out the details that matter? How are you going to rest after your surgery is over? Do you even know what to wear after shoulder surgery so that you're comfortable and it isn't hard for you to go ahead and get dressed?
When you start to look at the factors that come into play here, you're going to notice that you want something that is roomy. In some cases, you may even be able to find something that is really easy to maneuver with as you stay ahead and look at the things that come into play there. Above everything else, you want to be able to get your clothing on and off with some help, but without making your shoulder feel worse. That can be a task, but there are clothes that you can find.
As you start to look at what you could be purchasing, but sure that you actually take a peek at what you're getting and investing in. In the long run, you're going to discover that it works out a lot better and that you're actually going to have a fairly solid handle on what you want to do. In the end of it all, you're going to notice that your shoulder is more comfortable and that, when you're done with recovery, that you'll be glad you took the time to take care of things and work it all out in a positive way.

At the beginning of the semester, it's easy to do just enough to get by. But when grades come back and they aren't what you expected or want it's easier to change towards the beginning. Working hard throughout the entire semester will get you the grades you want and deserve. Waiting until mid-semester to realize that you've been slacking off or not trying hard enough can get you into some serious trouble with your grades. Some classes you may be able to come back from that, but for a lot of classes mid-semester or late into the semester it's too late to change. So work hard every step of the way for the grades you want. If you're having trouble with a class, use the MANY resources located across campus. Don't wait to change! WT wants you to succeed, but you have to want it for yourself! I hope everyone is having a great semester! 🙂

Housing gap is the size of Birmingham
DEMAND for new housing will outstrip supply by over half a million units by 2015, equivalent to the size of the UK'S second largest city, Birmingham. This is the conclusion in a new report,
from the Federation of Master Builders (FMB). It also reveals that the number of small house builders is at its lowest since 1982 because of costs and regulatory burdens.
Brian Berry of the FMB says: "For too long the housing problem has been overlooked, with the result that a person buying a house on their own now needs to be near the top 10 per cent of earners in the country and this problem is only going to get worse until the Government takes drastic action to revive private house building."

The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of tablets containing two probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri strains in inhibiting regrowth of salivary mutans streptococci (MS) after full-mouth disinfection (FMD) with chlorhexidine. The null hypothesis was that the levels of MS would not differ in comparison with a placebo protocol. The study population was comprised of 62 young adults (mean age 23 years) with moderate or high counts of salivary MS who volunteered after informed consent. The study was a double-blinded randomized controlled trial with two parallel groups. After a 3-day chlorhexidine regimen, the subjects were randomly assigned to a test group (n = 32) with probiotic lozenges (2/day) or a placebo group (n = 30). The intervention period was 6 weeks, and stimulated whole saliva was collected at baseline and after 1, 6, and 12 weeks. The samples were processed for MS by a chair-side test and DNA-DNA hybridization as an estimate of 19 bacterial strains associated with oral health and disease. There was no significant difference between the groups at inclusion, and FMD reduced the salivary MS levels significantly in both groups. The MS suppression lasted less than 6 weeks and there were no statistical differences in salivary MS regrowth between the test and control groups at any of the follow-ups. Likewise, there were no major differences in the regrowth patterns of the checkerboard panel between the two groups. We conclude that daily oral administration of L. reuteri did not seem to affect or delay the regrowth of salivary MS after FMD with chlorhexidine. Copyright (c) 2012 S. Karger AG, Basel
Background: The World Health Organization defines probiotics as 'live microorganisms which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit to the host'. Traditionally, probiotic microorganisms have been used to prevent or treat gastrointestinal tract diseases. In the last 15 years, there has been increasing interest of a possible probiotic impact on the oral microbiota and dental caries. Dental caries is a multifactorial disease, and the causative factor in the oral microbiota includes a shift from a balanced microflora to a microflora that includes more aciduric species such as mutans streptococci (MS), non-mutans streptococci, and Actinomyces. MS is considered an opportunistic pathogen although several other bacteria also contribute to the disease. Early acquisition of MS is associated with early development of caries; therefore a desirable complement to other prophylactic measures would be a MS colonization inhibitor.
Objective: To better understand how selected strains of probiotic lactobacilli interact with MS in vitro and in vivo and to study the impact of probiotic lactobacilli on caries development during childhood.
Material and methods: The in vitro properties of probiotic lactobacilli were studied with regard to (i) acid production from sugars and sugar alcohols, (ii) growth inhibition capacity on clinical isolates and reference strains of MS as well as Candida albicans and (iii) the capacity to co-aggregate with MS. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) tested the short-term effect of intervention with two Lactobacillus reuteri strains on MS, which was evaluated after treatment with chlorhexidine. The re-growth patterns of MS and 19 other selected strains were also evaluated. In the second clinical study we investigated the long-term effect on MS prevalence and dental caries after an intervention with Lactobacillus paracasei ssp. paracasei F19 (LF19) between 4 and 13 months of age.
Results: The results from the in vitro testing showed that strains of probiotic lactobacilli differed in their fermentation patterns, inhibition capacity and their capacity to co-aggregate, which should be kept in mind in the translation to clinical research. The clinical study on short-term effects of two L. reuteri strains on MS and other oral strains showed no effect on re-growth patterns after intervention. The clinical study on long-term effects of LF19 showed no effect on the prevalence of MS. Furthermore, the clinical follow-up at 9 years of age showed no differences in either decayed, missing, and filled surface (dmfs) or DMFS between the probiotic and placebo groups. Evaluation of saliva samples showed no signs of oral colonization with LF19 in the study group.
Conclusion: The in vitro testing showed potentials of the selected probiotic Lactobacillus strains for interference with MS and C. albicans. The results from the clinical studies showed no such effect on MS or dental caries. Evidence regarding the effectiveness of specific probiotic applications in the prevention of dental caries is limited and does not allow for conclusions concerning the use of probiotic bacteria as a preventive measure.

Under this façade
No one hears my nerves' cacophony
Remember how I'm always there for you? I wish you could
Actually do the same
Vaporize my frustration, please; or else there'll be no
Escape from the dragon of my thoughts
"Laugh!" they say. Why not
Invite yourself in to this jungle-crazed mess
Nightless sleeps are humble encounters with a
G'morning dawn – I lose myself in its bleeding hue

The life of a Woman has been a struggle for hundreds of years, we have come a long ways in standing up and fighting back, in changing our stories, in being able to have control over our own bodies, We can vote, we can own land and we can choose to get married or not.
I am grateful and proud to be a woman, my mother gave me her mothering qualities, her soft arms and sweet smile. My mother gave me lots to think about and learn from her own world view. I take so much more from my mother then just all of her good things, I see her struggle and her judgmental opinions as food for thought, helping me to debate back with her in better ways. My mother used to say "Women should never of been allowed to vote, it was the beginning of the end for good families to be raised, because now women think themselves better then men and don't stay home anymore! They don't cook good food for their families anymore too...all because we won the vote, we lost everything God wanted for us in being a good women."
I replied "I completely disagree, raising good families should be equal responsibility from the mother and the father, let the Dad bake up some cookies and stay home to help support his spouse if she is really good at her job." My mother gasped and shook her head at me helplessly for she could see I wasn't following in line with what women SHOULD do, what they can and can't do. I will always remember the hundreds of conversations like this I had with her.
She and I came form different generations, and I would not be put into motherhood, into a marriage that I didn't have a say for how things will go for my life.
I have such thankfulness to my mother being from the opposite side of all these issues for women, because it made me even more zealous and determined that women have equal rights with men, that everyone works TOGETHER for the same needs in their society. I perfected my arguments and set up my own platform for women's right in my teen years from having the kind of mother that I did, she and I went round and round she had more bible verses then me in our discussions. But I knew in my heart as a woman myself there was far more out there for the female gender then raising a perfect family, yet at least we should all have the choice to be who we really are.
I tip my hat and say "Thank you." from the bottom of my heart to all these brave women listed here.
AND to my mother who gave me this life and kept me on my toes!
I say to her with so much love "Thank you Mamma, Thank you for helping me find the courage I now have to change our world....I will always fight on!"
Why we marched.
