(Laurens SC, USA)
We can picture Ruth following the reapers, but before long Boaz, the owner of the field spotted her. "Who's that?" he asked his foreman. When he heard who she was he sent for her and said to her, "I know about all the love and kindness you have shown your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, and how you left your father and mother in your own land and have come here to live among strangers." He made it clear that she was very welcome, and wished her a full reward from the God of Israel under whose wings she had come to take refuge. But Boaz knew it was worthless wishing someone well and doing nothing about it when it was in his power to do something, so he told his foreman to look after her and make sure that bundles of corn were "accidentally" left behind for her to glean.
God expects us to translate our good intentions into action—often to be expressed in giving of our talents, time and possessions. God's gracious provision for us often comes through the generosity of others, and then we in our turn are able to bless others—we have the responsibility of keeping the momentum going.
As in the case of Boaz, it often happens that the one who prays is, in fact, the one through whom it is answered. It's through Boaz himself that Ruth is to be given security; to find joy in marriage, a new home, and a new family.
If we belong to Christ, we are the covenant people of God; we can pray that same prayer for ourselves and for others. We can experience the refuge of His wings, and also be the means by which others may experience this too. When Ruth got home to Naomi what a surprise she had for her! Naomi was quick to realize that the hand of God was upon them in their situation. Through Boaz, God's "wings of refuge" were already overshadowing them-God was there, God cares, God rules, God provides. All they had to do was to stay under those wings.
In practical terms, though, Naomi told Ruth not to stray from the field that belonged to Boaz, because he was her benefactor. He didn't know it then, but he soon was to take on a greater role as her kinsman-redeemer.
One can never tell what a single act of kindness, under the hand of God, will lead to. One must never underestimate the wisdom of your mother-in-law! Naomi certainly knew when Ruth was on to something good because she remembered that Boaz was a relative of her deceased husband, Elimelech, and so was qualified to be Ruth's kinsman-redeemer, to take the place of her dead husband and so preserve the family name through her having his children.
The unusual kindness shown by Boaz to Ruth must have set Naomi's heart and mind racing in planning the next steps in the romance.
I don't know if it was leap year--you know, the year when tradition says that women can take the initiative in proposing marriage! However, Naomi counseled Ruth to take the opportunity to keep close to Boaz as the harvest workers camped together. (I am sure that none of you wonderful ladies ever did any conniving to get a man, so you can't relate to this.)
In the middle of the night when everyone else was fast asleep she proposed to him on the grounds that he was her kinsman-redeemer—it's a lovely story; you must read it for yourself.
Well, what would Boaz say? In all the best traditions of a love story, he said, "Yes". However, there was a problem because there was another man who was a closer relation and so he had the first right of refusal, but he gave his word that he would see what he could do. Boaz didn't waste any time because the very next day he went down to the city gate, where contracts were made and publicly witnessed by the city elders, rather like today's courts where contracts are registered.
When the man who was the nearest in line to Naomi came along, Boaz told him he was acting for Naomi in selling her field and asked if he would like to buy it. The man said that he would redeem it, but he changed his mind quickly when he heard that not only would he acquire the land, but a wife as well.
He couldn't do this because it would endanger his own estate for the law said that in these circumstances the first-born son of the marriage would take Elimelech's name and the inheritance would fall under that name, not his, even though he had redeemed it at personal cost. But Boaz, because of his love for Ruth was willing to pay that price. Paying the price, sacrifice—that is what redemption is all about.
The apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthian church: "You know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes, he became poor so that by his poverty you might become rich."
Jesus is the supreme example of the kinsman-redeemer. Mankind, as the first Adam, fell from grace, and like the nearest kinsman, couldn't save the human race and therefore it was left to the second Adam, the Lord Jesus. Thank God, He was qualified because of His sinless life. Thank God He was willing to sacrifice, not mere possessions, but His life, in order to do so. Just as Boaz had the right of redemption and yet was under no obligation, so it was with Jesus-it was an act of love.
Redemption-the word means that something that was lost has been brought back. It means liberation, like setting a slave free. It means to deliver from some great danger. When our Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross He redeemed us. He bought back that which was lost; He made it possible for those in sin's slavery to be freed and He delivered them from its penalty. A new family has been created by the intervention of our great kinsman-redeemer; we are adopted into God's family.
Yes, the story of Ruth is a love story in human terms. It is also an illustration, a picture, ever so faint of the greatest love story in the world, of the love of God. Jesus said, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." The simple message of the Gospel is that if you've trusted in Him, and have come into a relationship with Him, as we have seen with Boaz and Ruth, through the providential love of God, you belong to Him, you are a member of His family, and you have a future and a hope.
Christ is our kinsman-redeemer.

Sadie Hawkins Day
(the above image was found on The Trademark Blog and is of Al Capp's Sadie Hawkins, who we think bears a remarkable likeness to Alice the Goon)
Sadie Hawkins Day.
The phrase itself has such a nostalgic tang, such a sweetly arcane feel, like variety shows, Ring Dings and being sure that God loves you. If you've forgotten the custom, Sadie Hawkins Day was the annual turnabout when - GASP!! - the girls got to ask the boys out on dates, often to a Sadie Hawkins Dance. It just happens to be today.
Now, of course, we grown girls have shellacked ourselves into such a state of sophistication we don't need such contrivances. We do what we please without a backward glance, all Samantha Jones confidence, clacking heels and raw sexual power. Right?
We may not all be Samantha, but our culture has come far enough that Sadie Hawkins does seem like a charming antique. Women do routinely ask men out. Plus, the delightfully-named GaySocialities.com, brings up something folks in early 20th century never considered: "I'm not sure how this plays into gay relationships, maybe the 'bottom' should ask out the 'top' - I don't know!"
Good point. What does the lifting of social restrictions mean in an era when we're only as restricted as our insecurities make us? Who you gonna ask to the big dance that you normally would be afraid to ask?
Answer: Just ask somebody.
Anybody. Anybody you'd like to go out with. How about that guy right there? How about that woman you met at the bar and never called? Whether it's someone your friends just introduced you to or that crush you've been nursing for "two years, seven months, three days..." like Laura Linney in "Love Actually," just ask. Get it over with. If you don't do it today, vow to do it this week.
The world is so much better off when you're happy.* You're happy when you get what you need.
You get what you need, sometimes, if you ask.
* (and safe - thank you Jamie Lynn Spears for the reminder)

For so long now I have been working towards achieving my dreams. My dreams have always been fairly open, vague, and changeable to a certain degree, but I've always known I wanted to be self employed and be my own girlboss. When I was younger I also always had a "feeling" that I was meant for more, I never knew what that "more" was exactly, I just knew I wanted to make something of my life. I was never one to settle for second best.
I feel like I'm on my way, I have achieved so much (and yet so little) but I feel like there's so much more to give. To a certain extent, I've exceeded my original dreams, I run a successful photo booth company and I am my own boss, but dreams change and evolve as you carve your path in life. I've always believed that you should dream big, but you can only dream as big as you can imagine in any point of your life. I always dreamed that I'd be working for myself and for ages that was the end goal. And I have achieved that, but when you reach your goals, you gotta make new goals else how are you going to grow further!?
Since I have kinda "found myself" via blogging and YouTube, I have discovered new dreams and life is taking me on a journey I had never expected. Now I dream that one day my blog and my YouTube will take me on a new path, one filled with success and to achieve that feeling I am meant for more. I'm here to instil fun and hope to other people's lives. To help and inspire other girls who have been on a similar path to myself, no matter which point.
When I say I felt like I was meant for more, I always dreamed/hoped that one day I'd be famous but not in the standard kinda famous way; but in a niche that would mean something. I kind of always imagined I'd be a writer or a famous designer or something where people would look up to me and that I could help people. Back then, we were quite late starters with computers and internet at home because we couldn't really afford it, so it never even occurred to me that this would be what I would be doing, creating my own internet famous! Honestly, it was only six years ago that I even discovered blogging and now I live and breath it.
Blogging has lead me into so many fantastic opportunities that I had never dreamed of because I didn't even know these were things you *could* dream of, but has now opened opened up so many new dreams. From blogging, I've been lead to youtube and from that I've been privileged to get involved in some TV work, which I hope continues too.
All the decisions I've made in life, some have been good, some not so, but each and every choice I have made has lead me to where I am today. I've done nothing but work my ass off to achieve my dreams over the last six years since I took the plunge into self employment. I've not always taken the most direct route, I mean when I had my shop in Pokesdown I had the perfect studio youtube space to film etc but it obviously wasn't the right time back then, I was depressed and in a bad place and I've learned so much since then, that my channel could have take a completely new direction.
I truly believe everything happens for a reason, and now everything feels so right and feels to have slotted into place. Everything feels like its on the right track now to take over the world!! Never give up on your dreams, just because one door closes doesn't mean the next two doors won't then get you back to the room you were actually supposed to be in, but you've learned way more on the route you took to get there!

Today at the D23 EXPO 2015, The Walt Disney Company Chairman and CEO Bob Iger announced to an audience of more than 7,500 fans that Star Wars-themed lands will be coming to Disneyland park in Anaheim, Calif., and Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Fla., allowing Star Wars fans to step into the stories from a galaxy far, far away.
Ambitious plans to bring Star Wars to life in the two parks include creating Disney's largest single-themed land expansions ever at 14-acres each, transporting guests to a never-before-seen planet, a remote trading port and one of the last stops before wild space where Star Wars characters and their stories come to life.
"I am thrilled to announce the next chapter in the long and exciting history between Disney Parks and Star Wars," said Iger. "We are creating a jaw-dropping new world that represents our largest single themed land expansion ever. These new lands at Disneyland and Walt Disney World will transport guests to a whole new Star Wars planet, including an epic Star Wars adventure that puts you in the middle of a climactic battle between the First Order and the Resistance."
These authentic lands will have two signature attractions, including the ability to take the controls of one of the most recognizable ships in the galaxy, the Millennium Falcon, on a customized secret mission, and an epic Star Wars adventure that puts guests in the middle of a climactic battle.
Iger also shared concept images of the Star Wars-themed lands, giving fans a glimpse at what is to come for Disney parks.
The partnership between Disney and Lucasfilm dates back to 1987, when the successful Star Tours attraction, inspired by George Lucas's legendary Star Wars film series, opened at Disneyland. The attraction was then redesigned, emerging as "Star Tours – The Adventures Continue" in 2011 and featuring more than 50 different story outcomes and the possibility to visit five different planets.
The previous post in this blog was News from the D23 EXPO 2015 Animation Presentation.
The next post in this blog is Star Wars, Toy Story Land, Pandora - the World of AVATAR, Soarin' and Iron Man among new experiences coming for guests.

Mary Help of Chrisitans
May 24, 2016
Australia and Our Lady Help of Christians
When Cardinal Patrick Moran of Sydney wrote his History of the Catholic Church in Australia, he recalled the laying of the foundation stone of what was to become the first cathedral in this land. His eminence declared:
"Who was the patron selected by the people and their newly arrived pastor, Father Therry, for the Mother Church? Mary, the Immaculate Mother of God, under the special invocation of Help of Christians, was chosen patroness.
In choosing Mary, the young Church was following a sure Catholic instinct. But why the particular title of Help of Christians?
Events had happened in Europe only several years earlier, and this no doubt was still fresh in people's minds. Napoleon Bonaparte had jailed Pope Pius VI who died in goal, after which Pope Pius VII was elected. Just a short time later, he too was jailed by Napoleon, who kept him prisoner at Fontainbleau, 35 miles from Paris. The Holy Father vowed to God that , if he were restored to the Roman See, he would institute a special feast in honour of Mary. Military reverses forced Napoleon to release the Pope, and on May 24th 1814, Pius VII returned in triumph to Rome.
Twelve months later, the Pope decreed that the feast of Mary Help of Christians, be kept on the 24th of May.
The infant Church in Australia had a special reason for turning to Mary. In those early and mostly priestless days, it was largely the Rosary that kept the faith alive. Catholic Australia remained faithful to Mary, and was the first nation to choose her, under the title of Help of Christians, as principal Patroness.
It was in 1844, at the first assembly of bishops ever held in the British dominions since the Reformation, that Mary was re-accorded her place of honour. It was a long way and a long time from Sydney Town to Walshinghan; but the Southland was to become her Second Dowry.
Although not officially approved by Rome, 1852 (due to the decree going astray in Bishop Pompallier's mislaid suitcase), our patronal feast was already being celebrated in Sydney as early as 1844. So the Morning Chronicle of that year reads: Votive mass of Mary, Help of Christians, the title of which she is patroness of our Ecclesiastical Province. In 1847 a plenary indulgence was granted "to those who receive Holy Communion under the usual conditions, on May the 24th each year." By 1862 and Ordo, still in St. Mary's archives, gives May the 24th as "a double of the first class" (in today's terms, a Solemnity).
It seems likely that it was the choice of the lay Catholics themselves, as they leaned heavily, as the Church did, on Mary's help for the establishment of the institutional church. It was precisely during this priestless period 1802-that Pius VII returned to Rome from exile and instituted the feast 24th of May.
To show that this dramatic episode had deeply impressed and struck a sympathetic chord in the hearts of Irish Catholics in this new nation Australia. In 1816 Edmund Rice asked the Christian Brothers "to offer special prayers to Mary Help of Christians", when their young institution was under threat.
To confirm this, Archbishop Kelly's pastoral letter of 1904 lends strong weight: "The first Catholics here had brought strong devotion to Mary, Help Christians, who was the Patroness selected by the people and Father Therry for their mother-church, Mary Immaculate under the special invocation of Help of Christians"
Indications are that Father Therry simply watered a Marian seed already planted by church - minded lay people.
While Dr. Polding was away in Rome, Archdeacon McEnroe took it on himself to publish a melodramatic letter on Australia's "real peril of a Russian invasion" during the Crimean War. The whole letter reminds the diocese of Mary's powerful assistance throughout all history as Help of Christians".
In the pioneering Adelaide diocese the first permanent church built there at Morphet Vale was dedicated to Mary Help of Christians, and Bishop Murphy of that diocese was to mention this devotion frequently in his homilies.
The altar at St. Mary's, with its statue of Mary Help of Christians, was erected as a memorial to Fr. Therry's name.
In this remarkable way Australia became the first nation in the world to have, Mary, Help of Christians as Patroness: the first church to celebrate May 24th on a national scale (elsewhere the feast was restricted to Rome and specified places); and the first country to have a mother-cathedral under the same title.
Mary Help of Christians, Pray for us
Almighty God, deepen in our hearts
our love of Mary Help of Christians.
Through her prayers and under her protection,
may the light of Christ shine over our land.
May Australia be granted harmony, justice and peace.
Grant wisdom to our leaders and integrity to our citizens.
Bless especially the men and women
of the Australian Defence Force and their families.
We ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen.

A Thyristor, also known as SCR or Silicon Controlled Rectifier is one of the important members of the electronic components family. These are semiconductor active electronic parts with specific functions and have numerous application areas with everyday electronic gadgets.
A Thyristor or SCR is a three terminal or "legged" electronic device or part which is designed to act like a switch for toggling power to a connected load in response to trigger signals applied to one of its terminals.
The following explanations provides some idea regarding how to use a SCR or a thyristor in electronic circuits.

When the gate is triggered with a DC potential, the internal semiconductor switch "opens" and allows the load voltage from its anode to pass through its cathode into the ground, thus switching ON the load. The load remains switched ON as long as the DC level is maintained over the gate of the SCR and the load is deactivated once this trigger is inhibited from reaching the gate of the SCR.
However, unlike a Triac, an SCR will allow only one half cycle of the AC phase through it and therefore cannot be used for applications which require 360 degree control features of the connected equipment.

I shared with you my recipe for baking powder biscuits a few posts ago. Now let me share with you my version of cheddar biscuits. They are similar to the ones you find in a famous restaurant, but I like my version better. Of course, I'm partial to my own cooking. But, hey! Who isn't partial to their own cooking?
Michelle's Better Cheddar Biscuits
Use my biscuit recipe from March 12, 2013.
Extra ingredients:
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, or a little more if you like
2 teaspoons garlic powder
Mix all of the dry ingredients together, including the garlic powder. Add butter and shortening and
cut into flour mixture until it is very well dispersed. Add cheddar and stir well until the cheddar is fully coated. Add milk. Stir until
blended. Turn out onto floured surface. Fold and press dough upon itself
5 or 6 times. This will make layers. Cut and place onto an ungreased
baking sheet. Bake at 425 degrees F for about
20 minutes. The biscuits will be nicely browned when done.
Here you have it! Right out of the oven they'll be nice and warm and tasty. Slather them with butter and eat! Yummy with chili, BBQ ribs, fried or baked chicken, etc. I even eat them for breakfast and snack!
Have a yummy day!

The Importance of the Leader's Heart

A former security guard with a concealed carry permit may have prevented Jacob Tyler Roberts, the 22-year-old who killed two people and critically wounded another when he opened fire at an Oregon shopping mall last Wednesday, from inflicting even more carnage.
Nick Meli claims after Roberts, saw his gun, Roberts killed himself.
"I'm not beating myself up cause I didn't shoot him," Meli said. "I know after he saw me, I think the last shot he fired was the one he used on himself."
Meli told Portland, Oregon's NewsChannel 8 that as he was about to fire, he saw someone move in the background and never pulled the trigger because "I knew if I fired and missed, I could hit them."
While at the mall with a friend and her baby, Meli "positioned himself behind a pillar" and took out his gun after hearing three gunshots.
Meli said the gunman "was working on his rifle" and "kept pulling the charging handle and hitting the side."
This break in the action gave Meli time to pull out his gun, which he claims the gunman saw before pulling the trigger on himself.
Meli eventually took cover at a nearby store.

Are you and your mate like 2 ships passing in the night? Do you work late while your significant other works the morning shift? Do you often go for days sometimes weeks without any quality time?
This sadly is the reality for so many couples. Whether you are married or living together, too often the demands of our jobs and children make it almost impossible to share any quality time together. This is a growing problem and without care, this can be the start of a divide that may be too far to come back from.
Couples often put the needs of their family and jobs before their primary relationship (the one between you and your significant other). They forget to stoke the fire that burned so brightly and passionately in the beginning of their relationship. They lose sight of all of the reasons why they fell in love in the first place. They let external demands come between them and create a rift that begins to erode the precious inner circle that exist between 2 people.
Here are My 5 Tips to Reclaim Your Passion, and to Keep Romance Alive!
1. Make the Couple Circle Pact
This is a sacred pact that is formed between you and your significant other and no one, not ever, can come inside. Form this circle by facing each other and hold hands. The energy that flows from you to your mate, and then flows back to you is sacred. This is the bond that keeps you intact as a couple. You must protect this at all costs. This circle becomes the source of your power as a couple to endure all of the demands of life, family and job and will serve as your armor to shield your relationship. Every day, take a moment and activate this circle. Look into each other's eyes and recommit and validate this Couple Circle Pact.
2. Small Acts Big Rewards
I am a true believer in the power of small gestures and acts of love. This is especially important when there just isn't enough time in the day to spend quality time with your mate. Make a habit of leaving little notes of love. It only takes a minute. This will have a huge payoff for the person receiving them and also for you. It makes you stop and take a moment to really appreciate your mate and to let him/her know that they are important and that you appreciate them. This keeps the romance energy flow active, even when you can't be together.
3. Plan 2 Dates a Month
Schedule in romance. Just as you schedule in everything else in your life, you MUST schedule in romance. This allows you to reactivate and refresh the love you have for each other. On these dates, do not talk about kids or work. Pretend that this is one of your first dates. Get to know each other all over again. Ask questions about their dreams, desires, fantasies and what excites them. Let your mate be an individual again. Be curious about their aspirations and visions for their future. Take an interest in the person again.
4. Be Playful
Send each other naughty texts of what you'd like to do to them. Grab their butt when you walk by them. Nuzzle their neck and give them a breathy kiss. You might not have time always to share quality intimate time together, so these little tweaks are especially crucial to stoke the flames of desire. They keep it activated and alive.
5. Build up Romance
There is nothing sexier than anticipation. Just as you schedule in dates, schedule in sex time. Send and invitation for sex. Make it fun. Build up excitement by leaving small notes about what you're going to do to them.
Relationships are like a volleyball game. You need to keep the ball in the air by constantly tending to it. Don't let the ball drop. If you do, don't let it stay down for long. Romance, just like a fire, needs to be watched over, tended to and fed.

Colin Powell. The guy that lied to the UN and the world, leading to the invasion of Iraq, which resulted in the deaths of over a million Iraqi civilians and the installation of a US backed puppet government.
Former Secretary of State Colin Powell called the events surrounding and following the attack on the American diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, "a stupid witch hunt," saying that fault partially lies with the US ambassador who was killed in the attack, according to personal emails seen by BuzzFeed News.
"Benghazi is a stupid witch hunt. Basic fault falls on a courageous ambassador who thoughts Libyans now love me and I am ok in this very vulnerable place," Powell wrote in a December 2015 email exchange with former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice about US Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, who died in the 2012 incident.
"But blame also rests on his leaders and supports back here. Pat Kennedy, Intel community, DS and yes HRC" — the last acronym short for Hillary Clinton, added Powell, who served under former President George W. Bush. "Completely agree," Rice responds, adding, "Let me know when you're in town and we'll have that glass of wine (or two)."

Blekingegatan 16 – Matklubb
Seven evenings, twelve chairs, a meeting between chefs and artists
Blekingegatan 16 – Matklubb is an installation, a social experiment and a dinner combined. A series of evenings are organised in a studio where the main focus is on food, drinks and art. The studio that on any other occasion won't be open for the public, invites to seven occasions based on conversations and philosophical questions about the collision between food and art. Dinner will be served, but the experience will be far from three courses, repetitive restaurant concepts and weary food trends.
The project is a reflection of society's relationship to the restaurant versus the staged show. Where do you draw the line between art and cooking? Which is the most observed? And how can we use these social activities to create new encounters and venues?
The guests will vary, but the starting point is always the same. A creator partners with a chef. A chef who is willing to step outside the usual context of cooking and an artist who dares to approach food as a tool for storytelling and creating. Together they design something witch departs from normative processes and experiences of cooking and serving dinner, while you attend as a guest together with a group of people you've never met before.

Carrie Fisher's brother is speaking out to kids about mental illness, using his sister's battle with bipolar disorder as proof that treatment does work.
Teaming up with the Child Mind Institute's new #MyYoungerSelf social media campaign, in which celebrities share their experiences growing up with mental illness, Todd Fisher, 59, says he noticed his sister was different from a young age.
"When Carrie and I were growing up, we knew there was something going on with her," he says in the video above. "Her behavior got more and more extreme, everything seemed to be more difficult for her."
At the time, there was no diagnosis for bipolar disorder. "She was struggling through something and was very alone," Fisher explains. "All she had was the support of her family."
Eventually, Carrie's mother Debbie Reynolds found a specialist who Fisher says "made us aware of this disorder." Carrie received treatment for bipolar disorder on and off for the rest of her life, and while there were hiccups along the way, medication and therapy allowed Carrie to flourish personally and professionally.
RELATED: Billie Lourd's Custom Tom Ford Dress Is a Tribute to Mom Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia
Fisher's sister and mother died in within a day of one another in December. Reynolds died on Dec. 28 at age 84 from an apparent stroke, the day after Carrie passed away at age 60 following a massive heart attack on an 11-hour flight from London to L.A.
"When I lost Carrie recently, I was standing at our family service, I said, 'We need Carrie to put words to what just happened,' because there really are no adequate words that describe these kinds of losses in life," Fisher says.
Fortunately, Fisher points out that Carrie left behind an incredible legacy and highly respected body of work. "She left us with this amazing inspiration of a person that survived incredible adversity," he says. "She excelled at life in everything she put her hand to, whether it be writing or acting or even Broadway."
Fisher adds that his sister could accomplish anything she set her mind to and that might not have been possible without treatment. "Without the help of her doctors and family and medication, I don't think we would have seen what we were seeing," he explains.
"To any child who's struggling today with mental health or a learning disorder, take a look at Carrie," urges Fisher. "Use her as your role model. Do not be afraid to ask for help. You're not alone, and treatment does work."

Best Bakery
Bien Cuit (literally, "well done") is unquestionably the best bread bakery in New York. Multiple times a day, head baker Zachary Golper and his all-star kitchen produce loaves that follow the unspoken guidelines for bread perfection.
True to its name, everything on offer in both the original Smith Street store and the latest opening in Grand Central is indeed bien cuit. When it comes to bread, the darkest, thickest, most crumbly and flavorful crust conceals an airy centre. The pastries are far removed from the typical anaemic ones we're used to: their golden exteriors protect the flaky, buttery layers within. Even the seasonal cookies and Christmas stollen have an undeniable toasty appearance and taste.
Whether you're in need of a baguette to coat in salty butter, an enormous miche to accompany a warming bowl of soup, the best almond croissant on the planet (I'm serious) to befriend your coffee or the most elegant lunchtime sandwich ever to grace this country, you better get yourself to Bien Cuit.

But I got it in without messing up and it works perfect. I have played DDR Mario Mix for gc for about an hour and it worked without any problems. I also played Wario Ware Smooth Moves for 30 mins and the only problem was there was that minor slow down during videos that everyone is getting. But during gameplay it was perfect. I'm also surprise ( even though I havent tested it for a good amount of time ) that the dvd-r's that I'm using are working. I'm using KHypermedia dvd-r's that I bought at office max for $20 for 100 dvd-r's! Whats that 20 cents per dvd. These are probably some of the cheapest dvds you can find and their working no prob. I burned them using nero at 4x. I just felt like posting this because a lot of people are putting down the cyclowiz and I was thinking I was gonna have a lot of problems but it turns out so far I have had none. Well I'll keep testing and see if any problems popup.

Anxiety - What Is Generalized Anxiety Disorder? - By Chris Gearing
Watch Dr. Sylvia Gearing describe what Generalized Anxiety Disorder looks like and what you can do to help - click here.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder affects over 6 million Americans every day.
They live with constant worry, unending concerns, and ongoing apprehension about the future. To escape their crushing anxiety, they withdraw from other people and avoid the things that make them anxious.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder, or G.A.D., grows over time and is built on every negative experience in a person's life. Since it often begins in childhood, most sufferers wait 25 years before reaching out for professional help.
Here are a few important points about Generalized Anxiety Disorder:
Paired Disorders:
Ninety percent (90%) of G.A.D. sufferers have some kind of co-existing mental health disorder. Around 42% of people suffering with G.A.D. also have issues with depression, and one disorder usually is more prominent than the other.
Double Trouble:
Women tend to develop generalized anxiety at twice the rates of men. The rates of depression and anxiety double for girls around puberty, so their anxious thinking habits are more likely to take root in their teens and grow over time.
Suspicious Minds:
One of the principle features of generalized anxiety disorder is the tendency to worry and ruminate. Worry is a prominent characteristic of G.A.D. and occurs in 40 to 60% of cases. The worry creates a vicious cycle - we worry to soothe our own anxiety, which only makes the fear grow. If your mind is tied up with worrying all the time, you have little energy to rest, learn, or implement more effective ways of coping.
Intolerable Uncertainty:
Anxious minds cannot tolerate uncertainty or ambiguity. They have difficulty with leaving loose ends or having a lack of closure. They lack confidence in their ability to handle adversity or the unexpected, so they worry constantly to prepare for anything.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder can be a very serious condition. If you are worried that someone you know may be living with an anxiety disorder, please seek the assistance of a clinical psychologist.

The Rising Adult Suicide Rate - By Chris Gearing
Watch Dr. Sylvia Gearing discuss the rising adult suicide rate and what you can do to help - click here.
Teens and the elderly are no longer the most likely to commit suicide.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently issued a report that found an almost 30% increase in the suicide rate among middle-age adults (ages 35-64). The top three methods of committing suicide among adults were poisoning, suffocation or hanging, and firearm.
Over the last decade, the adult suicide rate has grown at an alarming rate.
Suicide rates spiked a few decades ago when the baby boomer generation hit their teenage years, and the suicide trend has followed the boomer generation as they have aged. As many boomers are being confronted by unique mid-life challenges like dual caregiving for children and their parents, their own health problems, and one of the toughest economic climates in decades, they may be more likely to commit suicide.
If you are concerned about someone you know, here are some signs to watch out for:
- Frequent thoughts about death and dying
- Talking about committing suicide
- Increased alcohol or drug use
- Trouble with or uninterested in eating or sleeping
- Suddenly making end of life arrangements
- Drastic changes in behavior or daily activities
- Withdrawal from friends, family, or social activities
- Loss of interest in work or hobbies
- Giving away prized possessions
- Unnecessary risk taking
- Loss of interest in their appearance
- Previous suicide attempts
Suicide and suicidal thoughts are very serious issues. If you are worried about someone you know, please seek the assistance of a clinical psychologist.

Trauma - Long Lasting Effects of Childhood Trauma - By Chris Gearing
Watch Dr. Sylvia Gearing describe how an early childhood trauma could derail your own child's future - click here.
Traumatic events can be devastating especially if they occur in childhood.
Many children who experience trauma early in life develop what psychologists call implicit memories—memories that are nonverbal or difficult to put into words. They exist in the mind more as a feeling than as a series of descriptive words. Trauma is encoded at a deep level that is especially destabilizing emotionally. Children lack the more sophisticated coping skills of adults and cannot defend themselves psychologically against traumatic events beyond their control.
A trauma condition can shape the entire character of a child's personality.
He may view the world as a frightening place where danger is inevitable. Vital psychological energy that is needed for normal developmental tasks is drained by their efforts to deal with the trauma. The child's mind is de-regulated at an early age. When a child's developing mind is deregulated, they may be more prone to anxiety, depression, and continued trauma throughout their lives.
Left untreated, childhood trauma can become a defining event.
Traumatized children regularly experience anxiety and panic and the attacks can come out of nowhere and reduce their self-confidence. They lose confidence in their ability to control themselves and their emotions.
Many survivors of childhood trauma have difficulty regulating their emotions later in life. They have devastating emotional pain but they lack the skills to deal with the tsunami of emotions that can quickly overwhelm them. Triggers begin the downward cascade of emotions and can compromise their attention and concentration. They can make permanent negative conclusions about themselves that have nothing to do with reality.
Trauma is a very serious issue. If you think your child may be experiencing trauma, please seek the assistance of a clinical psychologist.

Trauma - Secondary Trauma - By Chris Gearing
Watch Dr. Sylvia Gearing describe how first responders and even those watching the news can develop symptoms of psychological trauma - click here.
Secondary trauma is a special risk for professionals involved in responding first to the scene of violence and destruction.
Despite their focus on managing the scene and assisting those in need, they also become participants in the events leaving them uniquely exposed to trauma. While they witness firsthand the consequences of tragic events such as terrorist attacks, industrial accidents, and deliberate acts of violence, their brains begin to absorb and record the tragedy in front of them.
About 50% of those who are routinely exposed to traumatic events develop their own anxiety and trauma. Sometimes, they can develop symptoms similar to the original victims.
Some of the symptoms of secondary trauma include:
- Emotional deregulation
- Intrusive thoughts and memories about the event
- Hyper-vigilance or constantly being on guard
- Psychological numbing
- A shift in their explanatory view toward more negative, pessimistic, and darker beliefs
Secondary trauma is more likely to occur in people who have experienced trauma before. In addition, the ill effects of secondary trauma may accumulate over time. If you think you or someone you know may be experiencing the effects of trauma, please seek the assistance of a clinical psychologist.

Growing Kids Strong - Childhood Depression - By Chris Gearing
Watch Dr. Sylvia describe childhood depression and how it can affect your child's future success - click here.
Childhood depression can be an overwhelming concern for parents and educators who witness young children retreating into depressive, anxious behaviors.
Often our children are stuck in full clinical depression before we really understand what is happening. Even though we may have experienced depression ourselves or had a friend or family member that was depressed, it is painful and confusing to see our child developing a full scale mood disorder. Unfortunately, children cannot always articulate their thoughts and feelings. They are unable to tell us why they are so sad. It's important that you educate yourself on the signs of childhood depression to prevent it from damaging your child's life.
There are several reasons why childhood depression needs to be taken so seriously:
Life-Long Beliefs:
In childhood, most of us are learning how to interpret our environment and to be as accurate as possible. During this critical point in life, kids are creating belief systems and coping skills based on what they are experiencing in the moment. If life is regularly tumultuous, if there is severe anxiety due to trauma or loss, or if there is an underlying endogenous depression that goes unaddressed, the child may not accurately develop the explanatory view. Such inaccurate beliefs can last a lifetime and cause tremendous heartache.
Misinterpreted Behaviors:
With an underlying endogenous depression, a young child can be overwhelmed with their crushing negative beliefs. Many adults who developed depression as kids report that the world turned dark and gray at an early age. Parents can misinterpret such suffering as normal shyness or withdrawal. Depression robs a child of the chance to develop better coping skills and to face developmental challenges.
Social and Academic Withdrawal:
Children with depression often feel tired and depleted, and they are reluctant to engage with their peers socially. School avoidance is another common problem for kids with depression. If your brain is sad, it is difficult to focus and deal with all of the social and academic pressures of the classroom.
Permanent Labels:
Kids are already quick to label their peers, and depressed children tend to act grumpy and avoidant. Unfortunately, labels can become self-fulfilling prophecies as the child struggles with depression and how they feel about themselves. The negative labels become a familiar identity and children are prone to increasingly shut out their peers in an effort to avoid further criticism.
Now if you are concerned about a child, here are some signs to watch out for:
- Feeling persistently sad
- Talking about suicide or being better off dead
- Rapid mood swings such as becoming irritable all of a sudden
- Showing a marked deterioration in academics or home life
- Attempting to avoid school by making up illnesses or visiting the school nurse too regularly
- Stopping previously fun activities or no longer seeing friends
- Drug or alcohol abuse
Childhood and adolescent depression are very serious. If you are worried about you or someone you know, please seek the assistance of a clinical psychologist.

The Back To School Bullying Epidemic - By Chris Gearing
Watch Dr. Sylvia Gearing on CBS 11 discuss Back To School Bullying and what you can do about it - click here.
Bullying has become a serious mental health issue for millions of American families with up to 30% of students reporting their involvement in some sort of bullying as either the bully, the victim, or a bystander. The devastating consequences of bullying can turn deadly with 2/3 of school shooters reporting that they were being chronically bullied at school.
What are the specific characteristics of bullying?
Intentional Harm: Bullying in childhood is an aggressive form of intimidation that marginalizes the best of children while deeply scarring them psychologically. It is a repeated attempt to harm and to emphasize a humiliating imbalance of power and influence.
Bullying Begins Early: Research reports that almost 34% of elementary school students reported being frequently bullied at school.
Middle School Peaks: Bullying peaks in middle school. Seventh grade is the worst year.
Group Bullying: Bullying is usually a group activity. Studies show that a single child does not usually victimize kids. Bullying involves both active and passive participation by a group. The kids adopt a mob mentality as they team together to ridicule or emotionally torture another child.
Popular Kids Often Bully: Kids use the bullying of others to gain status and to exhibit their intimidation skills.
Here's why a child would begin bullying others in the first place:
Modeling their Parents: They are often victims of physical and emotional bullying at home and have parents who have problems with anger and self control. They identify with the aggressor and inflict pain to establish internal self-control.
Intimidation and Revenge Justified by Parents: Parents who tend to intimidate others rear kids who do the same. Bulling others becomes a justified behavior. Family values that include rudeness, entitlement, the intimidation of others, revenge, character assault of others or deliberate treachery create children who are much more likely to engage in bullying.
Bullies Know Difference Between Right and Wrong: The research about bullies reveals that most of the time they know exactly what they are doing. They simply lack a conscience. They understand the differences between right and wrong and commit the act anyway. They will lie, cheat and steal to avoid punishment and are deceptive with others. Although some studies suggest that around 40% of them have some mild empathy, another 40% are indifferent to the suffering of their victims and 20% actively enjoy the intimidation and control.
But what about the recent surge of online bullying?
Anonymous Bullies: The common denominator of all bullying is the intentional act to inflict pain on another person by emphasizing the imbalance of power. Unfortunately, the anonymity of the Internet is ideal for such vicious behavior. According to the Pew Internet and American Life Project in 2006, one third of students are targets at some point.
Cyber Bullying Turns Dangerous: Most of the time, cyber bullying involves gossip and rude comments that do not express direct intent to harm. Around 50% of online bullies report that they inflict such cruelty "for fun" and to "teach the target a lesson." However, a study published in 2006 reported that 12% of teens were physically threatened online and 5% actually feared for their physical safety.
We all know that bullying can have life long traumatic effects on a victim, but research shows that bullies and bystanders are also deeply effected by the act of bullying:
Three Victims: Words are weapons and psychological harm is as severe as a broken bone. Bullying involves three victims—the bully, the recipient of the bullying and the witnesses to such cruelty.
Victims Develop Serious Depression and Helplessness: Victims report more internal problems such as depression and anxiety.
Bullies and a Lifelong Pattern of Oppositional Behavior: Bullies have more conduct problems, anger and develop alienation from school and the community. Chronic oppositional behavior is typical of such children leading to a lifetime of hardship.
Bystanders Grow Apathetic and Uncaring: Witnesses become desensitized to the suffering of others and do not take responsibility for allowing such cruelty to occur.
The long-term effects of bullying for all groups can be severe with protracted trauma, depression and resentment stretching into the adult years.
Increased Suicidal Ideation: Researchers at the Yale School of Medicine found a significant connection between bullying, being bullied and suicide in a review of 37 studies from 13 countries. Bullying victims were much more likely to think about suicide.
Here's what you can do to help your child with bullying at school:
Stop Denying: Many adults prefer to view bullying as a normal "rite of passage" through childhood. Nothing could be further from the truth. There are millions of victims who no longer believe that adults are going to protect them and they suffer in silence.
Bystanders Are Key: Research now argues that the bystanders of bullying are one of the vital keys to decreasing this growing problem. Teaching non-bullied kids to speak up, to refuse to be an audience, to label bullying publicly and to go and get help when the situation is out of control are essential steps for parents and teachers.
Empower the Victims: Believe your child about bullying. Victims are renowned for responding ineffectively through withdrawal, denial, silence and passivity. Such behaviors "feed" the bully's control. We need to develop the victim's talents, social skills, physical coordination and assertive abilities. He needs to be reassured that adults will take his complaints seriously and that he must report harassment. These are teachable skills and they increase self-confidence exponentially.

Depression or Dehydration? - By Chris Gearing

Millions of Americans spend countless dollars every year trying to perk themselves up. Whether it's through a pill, a coffee at the neighborhood coffee shop, or an energy drink, most of us are looking for a silver bullet to pick us up out of our slumps and give us the energy to finish the day.
According to a recent study, you may be wasting your money on drinks and pills. If you're dehydrated, you may show higher signs of depression, anxiety, fatigue, and loss of vigor. Make sure to drink plenty of water throughout your work day and you might save yourself a load of coffee money.

Before Nikolas Cruz opened fire on Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, killing 17 people, on Wednesday, a witness radioed to a co-worker they saw the former student walk on campus wearing a backpack and carrying a duffle bag, according to an arrest report released Thursday afternoon.
Within a minute, the witness told deputies he heard gunshots and called out a "Code Red" alert, the Broward County Sheriff's Office report said.
Cruz made his first appearance in court on 17 counts of premeditated murder. He is being held without bail and is on suicide watch.

According to the report, the witness, whose name and title are redacted from the report, said when he saw Cruz walk on campus and recognized him as "a former troubled student," He said radioed a coworker to let them know Cruz was "walking purposefully toward" a building in the school.
Then, gunshots rang out and students fled. The sheriff's office said Cruz made his way out of the school by blending into the rush of students fleeing the building.
An hour later, Cruz was arrested in a nearby neighborhood.

Cruz admitted to the shooting and said he had additional magazines for the AR-15 rifle he brought on campus, but hid them in his backpack until he started shooting.
Cruz told investigators in the chaos of the shooting, he decided to drop his weapon and the extra magazines so he could run out with everyone else.
In the report, investigators do not mention any motive in the shooting.
Investigators later discovered that Cruz took an Uber to the school.
Authorities said Cruz was living with a family on the 7200 Loxahatchee Road in Parkland after both of his parents died. The family said Cruz had lived at the home for the last few months. On Thursday afternoon, authorties remained outside of that address.

Our StoryThe story behind the Koooky iPad Cases
I quickly discovered, once I had bought my iPad that the kids used it more than I did. There are now a wonderful variety of child friendly, educational and early learning apps. My seven year old son uses it to help him with his math's homework, and It is a fun way for my four year old daughter to start learning Spanish.
After one too many accidents, I decided that my sleek case wasn't going to hold up to the wear and tear from sticky little fingers. I bought the only child friendly case I could find, but I was really disappointed. The case wasn't designed with the child in mind. It wasn't exciting or easy for them to hold.
When I tried to find an alternative to suit our needs, I realized that there wasn't one out there……. And so the Koooky case was invented!
For longer car journeys, the Koooky Car headrest strap is a lifesaver and so easy to attach. The kids watch movies, play games and listen to music. It has really made longer trips more enjoyable for all the family. We also take them when we travel by air which certainly takes a lot of stress out of waiting around in airports.
Children love the different characters and each has a favourite. The Koooky case is fun and imaginative and brings color and personality to the iPad. It is lightweight and easy to grip with little hands! , and most importantly it is made of a durable but non toxic material, safety is our priority!
Check out our products and let us know your feedback and ideas. After all we want to design products that both you and your kids will love, and we would be delighted to hear from you.
Thank you
Tanyia Elliott
