Radiant panels have their own heat source (e.g. circulating hot water, electric heating elements) and use radiation as the predominant method of heat exchange. They are usually mounted on walls or suspended from ceilings.
Radiation involves the transfer of heat across the intervening space between a hot body and an object at lower temperature, without the space itself being heated. Radiant energy will heat all surfaces which are in the direct line of sight from the panel, such as walls, floor, furniture and of course, the room occupants.
Radiant panels transfer a small proportion of their heat to the air adjacent to the panel surfaces, thus creating convection currents.
The amount of heating delivered to any given room is in part determined by panel area. It follows that with large panel areas, it is possible to reduce panel surface temperature. Radiant panel systems normally use water hot enough only to provide a panel surface temperature of 29 – 30°C.
Radiant panels can be controlled by a simple room thermostat. Alternatively, they can be linked to more sophisticated control systems, to provide simultaneous zone and occupancy control as well as weather compensation.

Cuba announced Friday that its athletes will be allowed to sign contracts to compete in foreign leagues, a shift from decades of policy that held professional sports to be anathema to socialist ideals.
The measure promises to increase the amount of money baseball players and others are able to earn, and seems geared toward stemming a continuing wave of defections by athletes who are lured abroad by the possibility of lucrative contracts, sapping talent from national squads.
However, there is a lot of unanswered questions. Will the US government allow Cuban baseball players (or other athletes) to play in the U.S. Major Leagues without restrictions imposed by local or U.S. government policies.
Apparently, Cuban athletes will have to pay taxes on any earnings from foreign clubs, and the 51-year-old U.S. embargo outlaws nearly all American transactions with the Cuban government.
According to published articles here is the USA's response: "[a] change in Cuban laws does not affect our licensing procedure," said John Sullivan, spokesman for the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control, which enforces limits on transferring money to Cuba.
Also, Cuban athletes will only be eligible to play abroad as long as they fulfill their commitments at home, according to the Communist Party newspaper Granma.
A number of athletes, especially baseball players, have defected in recent months and years. They include Yasiel Puig, who signed a multimillion-dollar contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Professional sports were outlawed under Fidel Castro in 1961, two years after the Cuban Revolution.
It's not clear what athletes were paid before, but monthly state salaries in Cuba average about $20 plus the social benefits provided to all islanders.

Including All the Secrets & Tricks I Use to Save Time While Editing A Lot of Photos at Once
A few months back I wrote a post about my all-time favorite photo editing apps and how I make sure that I keep the highest image resolutions possible with my photos while using these apps. This post addresses many of the same topics…but it approaches the whole subject from the opposite perspective. Instead of keeping the best digital images that are possible using an iPad or iPhone, here I'm more concerned with how to keep 'good' but not great quality…while I accomplish many different editing tasks quickly and efficiently.
My end product needs to be good enough for illustrative purposes on my websites. All of the images I've included in this post were generated as I wrote this, using the techniques I talk about here so that my readers can see exactly what kind of photos will result from using the tools I'm highlighting here.
Below, my post on my favorite photo editing apps & maintaining great photo resolutions
This post is geared towards anyone who needs to edit a lot of images and get them into great looking 'final forms' for presentation purposes…regardless of whether or not the end goals are for personal or web publishing purposes.
As anyone who publishes a website or blog online already knows, it's really important to have good images…and ideally lots of them. They can help to make your information more readable and user friendly, as well as give graphic examples of your information and also be used for illustrative purposes.
This can end up requiring the use of quite a lot of images if you publish on a fairly regular basis. Images which need to both look good and not impact the overall performance of your site….especially the page loading speed! That means you need to find or create images and then add borders and oftentimes text too. Last you need to resize them to decrease the resolution enough so that your site loads quickly. Doing this one image at a time takes an inordinate amount of time when you consider that the pictures themselves are really secondary to the information you're presenting. Yet…the images are crucial for the quality of your website.
Above are 2 Online Tools I Use to Optimize Images for Web Publishing are jpeg-optimizer' beta version & TinyPng…I use jpeg more because it has user defined size alternative…whereas TinyPng's free service is 'one size fit's all!'
That's why I searched for almost 2 years to find an app that could batch edit photos well on an iPad…because that's what I do all my work on. Finding a great batch editing photo app for ios is no easy task!
OneEdit Pro by Tiger Ng
I first discovered OneEdit Pro about 2 1/2 years ago after trying out a few single purpose batch resizing photo apps that were difficult to use, time-consuming and just didn't perform well. When I first began using OneEdit I found it difficult to learn and buggy. But then I discovered that the developer had a few videos on his support site that helped me to figure out some of its aspects and I began to use it a little more productively.
Below is an App Store screenshot of OneEdit Pro, which is $2.99
The Learning Curve for OneEdit Pro is Steep Because the App Has So Many Features
It took a year perhaps for me to really grasp how extremely powerful and feature-filled the app really is. In time it became the one app I use almost constantly. It would be unusual for an app of this magnitude to not have a few glitches in it…and OneEdit does although it's developers release updates periodically which are primarily for addressing those. In its present state there are just a few small ones which I address in the appropriate sections below.
What's more surprising to me than recognizing a few glitches remain today is the app's price which is $2.99. As long as I've been using OneEdit I think this price has remained consistent. At the time I first purchased it $2.99 was on the steep side of app prices for me…but now it seems like a true bargain for the vast variety of functions it performs. I recently paid much, much more for 2 other apps that are equally powerful in their niches. I recently paid $24.99 for Ulysses which is a powerful writing and mark down app I use for writing my posts and $19.99 for LumaFusion Pro which is an equally powerful video editing app for iPad. The 3 apps in my opinion are similar in terms of their productivity value for me, making OneEdit a real bargain!
One other aspect of OneEdit I love is the ability to ask questions of the developer either in app or just via email. I've always received helpful replies back within a reasonable amount of time, which is a benefit not many apps offer.
Once I'd mastered* OneEdit I immediately wanted to write about it and share my views on how amazingly helpful it is for me. But I held off because of the learning curve. I felt like it was a bit too large for most people to want to undertake. So I've been trying to come up with a way to demonstrate various aspects of it. Personally I learn best by watching how other people do things, so I've focused my efforts on figuring out a way to create video tutorials.
*Mostly mastered is a more accurate statement really because there are still some features I'm unfamiliar with and haven't had any occasion to learn or use yet.
I haven't really come up with a good answer yet for creating tutorials to speed up the learning process of OneEdit Pro. I've tried a few things…but nothing that's worked out great enough for me to want to use on an ongoing basis to demonstrate the many features of the app.
Some of the 80+ Filters Included in OneEdit Pro
Video Demonstrations Seem to Be the Best Answer
While I do have a YouTube channel…it's pretty amateurish and I don't have the equipment or the expertise to produce polished videos for this purpose. Primarily because to do the subject justice, I'd need to produce approximately 10 videos. Much of the content of the videos would actually be me using the app, along with showing the appropriate screens and menus needed to accomplish various tasks. If Apple allowed people to create apps which let you capture videos of your ios screen while you were working on tasks, I think that would be the best way to demonstrate using OneEdit Pro.
But for some unknown reason Apple has decided that this capability isn't one that they want their users to have. Ironically you can do this using a Mac computer…but it isn't an easy or streamlined process by any means…therefore it's not really something most people will bother with.
I find it really ironic that one of Apple's most recent marketing campaigns has focused on positioning the iPad as an equal to computers in functionality…all while actively working to keep that from ever becoming a reality.
I say this because Apple has clearly made their wishes known when it comes to allowing apps into the App Store that let users record their device's screen activity. Apple does not allow it plain and simple. So anytime someone manages to get an app listed in the App Store that includes this feature…which is usually done in a sort of secretive fashion…as soon as Apple discovers it, the app is immediately removed.
Side Loading Apps & My 1st OneEdit Pro Demo Video
This has led to the side-loading app phenomenon. With ios 10, Apple finally gave user's the ability to install apps on their ios devices that didn't originate from the App Store. There are a few websites that have either free or low priced apps that you can install on your device now without going through the App Store and without voiding it's warranty. The one I used is emu4ios. emu stands for 'emulator' and the best of,the apps I tried is AirShou.
But for me so far the apps haven't proven to be very polished yet. They can be both difficult to figure out and dangerous to install and use.
In desperation I did try a few different screen recording apps to begin a OneEdit Pro series of videos. But I ended up finishing only one, not so great video. It's way too long (12 minutes) because I discovered after I shot it that the footage was virtually uneditable. No video editing app I tried seemed able to work with the video footage that the screen recording app recorded. I still don't know why that was the case but you can see that video here . The one thing that it has going for it is, you can actually learn how to use some aspects of OneEdit Pro.
Part 1 in the OneEdit Pro Series of YouTube Videos
In this video in addition to learning how to navigate around within the OneEdit app, I thoroughly cover how to add multiple frames or borders to groups of images very quickly. By quickly I mean to say that you can accomplish that task very quickly…not learn it quickly…because the video, at 12 minutes…isn't very quick!
Shooting a Video Using My 9.7″ iPad Pro in One Hand & While Demonstrating OneEdit Pro with the Other Hand
My 2nd OneEdit Pro video is one that I made today using a different approach. In this one which is about how to batch crop photos and then add borders to them, I tried to record my actions with the iPad I was using to shoot the video in my left hand while I performed the necessary actions with my right hand. But it's awkward trying to keep the left hand iPad steady enough to keep the right-side iPad in frame for the duration of the video. Here's the link to Part 2 in the series.
Part 2 in the OneEdit Pro Series of YouTube Videos
You might be wondering why I tried to shoot this using my 9.7″ iPad Pro in my left hand. I know I would wonder that myself! The reason is because I had already tried doing the same thing using my iPhone as the camera, and I quickly discovered that because my iPhone is so small relative to the size of the iPad …that it would constantly wander off-frame so much that they video footage was virtually useless.
Tiger Ng from OneEdit also has a demonstration or preview video for OneEdit Pro
What Else Can You Do Using OneEdit Pro?
The primary function that I use OneEdit Pro for is to crop and add borders to photos for my website. But oftentimes I resize them in the app too…to keep the overall files size small for page loading purposes. The app isn't perfect and it does have a few glitches…and one of these is that the final image size reported by the app isn't necessarily the true file size. So, while I use OneEdit for resizing (they call it scaling) I still use a few other apps to determine what the actual file is. If the finished file size is too large, then, rather than resizing it again in OneEdit Pro, I'll usually use one of the apps I referred to above called Big Photo to resize it a little more…often just for expediency because that's where the photo is a that moment in time.
Using the Big Photo App in Conjunction With OneEdit Pro
The reason I love Big Photo is because it performs 2 essential functions really well for me. First it tells me what exactly a photo's meta data, file size and resolution are. Surprisingly these aren't easy things to discover using an iPad! 2nd, it scales images both smaller and larger without hurting the resolution much better than any app I've ever tried before.
Whenever you scale down the size of a photo you end up hurting the final resolution of it too. Depending upon how much you resize it will determine how much of an impact there is upon final resolution. But the basic rule of thumb for me is if I scale something to smaller than 80% of its original size using OneEdit Pro, then the final resolution might end up being too blurry. But using the Big Photo app, which has a free version btw, I can usually resize it down to about 60% without degrading the final resolution too significantly. Sometimes when I scale a group of photos in OneEdit Pro a lot…meaning I reduce their size a lot…I immediately add another edit to my group of batch edits that sharpens the overall resolution of the images.
Sharpening, which is called Sharpen Luminance in OneEdit is found under the 'Filter' menu item and it's one of more than 80 photo effect filters that you can apply to a group of photos in one fell swope.

Closeups of the History & Montage Features…tap or click on each to enlarge.
Some Additional Editing Features I Use Frequently with OneEdit Pro
Occasionally I use a feature that allows you to add text or watermarks to your photos. I also use a lot of the advanced exporting features. In addition to being able to export to most of the popular cloud services like Drop Box, OneDrive, Box and Google Drive, you can export directly to Facebook and Flickr too. You can also use your edited images in some pretty creative ways. You can merge them together in different manners like in the grid manner I used in my screenshot that shows the 80+ filters above. You can also merge them together to create long files either horizontally or vertically. And last you can merge all of the photos into a PDF.
OneEdit Pro is unparalleled in power relative to any other photo editing app I've found in Apple's ios App Store. Believe me when I say I've tried a lot of them! Between my husband and myself I'd venture to guess that we've used at least 50% of all the photo editing apps that exist for ios devices.
I'd love to figure out a better way of creating video tutorials for learning to use the app because I've developed a lot of great workflows that save me a ton of time. If any of my readers can suggest better methods for recording my iPad's screen's activity that don't involve hooking it up to a computer, I be really interested in hearing your ideas.
If you have anything to add or any questions to ask…now's the time. In the interest of preserving reader's privacy any comments you make here can be done in complete anonymity…or not…it's up to you. Just use an alias for your name if you don't want your real name displayed publicly.

Tim Hearden/Capital Press File
SACRAMENTO — After hearing an outcry from FFA advocates, Gov. Jerry Brown has reinserted funding in his budget proposal for high school agriculture education and career technical programs.
California Department of Food and Agriculture Secretary Karen Ross reassured teachers that the $15.4 million for FFA and related programs zeroed out in Brown's May 11 revised ledger has been put back in.
"Please be assured, Governor Brown remains committed to ongoing funding for these programs … through the California Department of Education," Ross told educators in an email. "While one-time funding was used to support these programs in the current year, the governor is committed to ongoing funding for these programs for 2017-18 and beyond."
The decision pleased Anna Canon, an agriculture teacher and FFA adviser at Orland High School. The school's ag program has 218 students, or roughly one-third of the entire student body, she said.
"When this came up with the budget cuts, we were asked to bring kids to the Capitol," Canon said. "That (funding) is how we are able to do what we do. Now the governor's office is supporting ongoing funding."
The proposed cut was part of a plan to boost spending for community colleges by $160 million to, among other goals, improve students' employment opportunities.
Whether the FFA allocation will be moved back from the community college fund or found elsewhere is yet to be determined by Brown and legislators, said Jim Aschwanden, the California Agricultural Teachers Association's executive director.
"We have to work those details out," he said. "I haven't seen the details yet, but the commitment is there to fund it."
Brown's reversal came after parents, students and other FFA advocates took to social media to rally support for the programs. Last week, 65 legislators sent a letter to the governor and to budget committee leaders asking that the funding be restored.
The $15.4 million represents the state's total contribution to FFA and other programs, including one for future business leaders, a family and consumer sciences program and SkillsUSA, a career and technical student organization, Aschwanden said.
"What this money has enabled them to do is hold leadership conferences and bring state officers together to do leadership training for their chapters throughout the state," he said.
Of the 114,000 California students that would have been affected by the cut, 86,000 are in FFA, which has a foundation to help raise money but relies on the $250,000 state allocation as "base funding," he said.
"If there weren't an FFA program, kids wouldn't have the ability to develop leadership skills and a work ethic and (learn how to) manage money," said Staci Alves, an agriculture teacher at Willows High School.
Budget negotiations at the Capitol have been ongoing since Brown presented his $124 billion revised ledger. The Democrat-controlled Legislature must approve a 2017-18 budget by June 15.

Bliss Cafe in Baguio City will serve its last order later today and bids us farewell. Although I've discovered it only in 2011, I've been visiting this cafe whenever we go to Baguio. Also, I didn't know then that it was owned by a friend.
Bliss Cafe is one of the vegetarian restaurant and belongs to the must-visit-place-when-in-Baguio. The place looks very nice and relaxing also. The place is owned by a husband and wife team who also does yoga and meditation and it does reflect on the way they decorated the cafe. The vegetarian chicharon here is l-o-v-e. Read about Bliss Cafe here.
I asked my friend during our trip to Baguio last week why they are closing shop and she mentioned that she wants to embark on a new journey.
I know a lot will be missing Bliss Cafe (including me) since it's one of the popular places to dine and visit when in Baguio but I understand my friend's need to answer an inner calling, a new life path and journey. So here's wishing Shanti and Jim, goodluck on your new endeavors this 2014 and A-Blissful farewell to Bliss Cafe.

BundlesTemple of Luna Bundle
Born into poverty and obscurity, Lexa worked harder than most to earn a place as a novice at the Savage Temple, where women trained in the art of pleasure heal the souls of battle-weary warriors. While others might be content to enjoy the luxury and prestige due a priestess of Luna, Lexa aspires to something greater — the honor of wearing the silver robes and the security that comes with being one of their world's most powerful women. But first she must prove herself worthy by testing her strength against the Temple's most infamous trainer, a near-feral wolf whose job it is to educate women in the art of controlling a warrior through submission.
Dejan doesn't deal with novices. Time spent as a prisoner of the humans left his soul fractured and his beast far too close to the surface, making him dangerous but useful. When he accepts Lexa as his pupil he has no way of knowing the novice has the power to bring him to his knees. Their passion doesn't fade when she's promoted to the Temple's elite circle, but the rules allow no involvement between a trainer and priestess. Caught between ambition and need, it's only a matter of time before their forbidden affair threatens the lives they've fought to build.
Originally published as Savage Lessons.

Read an Excerpt
Lexa kept her stance relaxed and tried not to let her excitement and nerves show as she faced the Temple's high priestess. "I'm ready, Celine. Now. Today."
"So you say." Celine's fingers tapped an absent rhythm against the arm of her chair. "So your teachers say. You've worked hard."
She'd busted her ass. Most of the other acolytes came from privileged families, and had been guided since birth toward the service of Luna. Were it not for the patronage of the queen mother, Lexa wouldn't have made it through the door of the Temple. "I've tried my best because I wish, more than anything, to serve."
"As did I, when I was your age. But I also knew where I wanted to be in ten years, and twenty. Do you?"
Most priestesses were gone by thirty, advantageously married off to soldiers returning from the war. Lexa didn't plan on being one of them, but she also wasn't ready to bare her soul to Celine. "I haven't decided, but I am giving the matter no small amount of consideration."
Celine nodded. "You're strong, and so is your magic. Strong enough to give you a chance at silver robes someday."
The words soothed the desperate longing inside her. "Kweku said he has nothing more to teach me. I checked the files, and there's only one high-level trainer unoccupied at the moment." The one she'd wanted all along. The best.
"Dejan." The high priestess's expression was unreadable. "If you've been checking files, my dear, you know that Dejan rarely works with novices. In fact, I believe that's common knowledge throughout the Temple."
"I could convince him to make an exception."
"You're assuming he's the one you'd have to convince."
Of course he was. Celine's expression was skeptical, but… "We wouldn't be having this conversation if you weren't considering it, and you wouldn't be considering it if it wasn't the best step for me."
Silence stretched out between them, broken only by the soft click of Celine's nails against the arm of her chair as she resumed her slow tapping. After several tense seconds, she smiled. "Looking at you is like looking into the past. In the ten years since I became high priestess, Lexa, not one other girl with your fire has passed through these halls."
"I would say you flatter me, Celine, but that didn't sound like a compliment." Curious, she smiled and tilted her. "I remind you of yourself?"
"Very much so." Celine gestured to her opulent surroundings. "There are worse lives to live. I serve my Goddess and my King. I receive the respect and deference of men and women born to privilege I couldn't have imagined as a child. Is this what you aspire to?"
It was tempting, seductive, and beyond comprehension. "Even the life of an acolyte has been more luxurious than anything I'd experienced before coming to the Temple, Celine. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't want respect and security."
"I didn't rise this far by being born into wealth or gently reared. But think hard about where you want to be before you take this step. Respect is already yours as a novice of the Temple. And security can be found as easily in the arms of a man who loves you. Dejan teaches only the best of the best, the women who aren't interested in a comfortable life as a warrior's mate."
Lexa had seen the sort of fleeting security one found in a man's arms. She'd watched her mother flit from warrior to warrior, with no thought of tomorrow, much less forever. "I want him for my teacher. I wouldn't let you down."
The high priestess nodded, but Lexa couldn't tell if the look in the older woman's dark eyes was regret or satisfaction. "Then you'll have him tonight. And in the morning we'll discuss your future at the Temple."
Promising words, indeed. Lexa smiled and bowed. "Thank you, Celine. Shall I contact Dejan, or will you make the arrangements?"
Celine laughed. "For tonight, be like any other novice and let me do my job. I'll send a message when everything's finalized and let you know when to meet him."
She bowed again and turned for the door, her heart pounding. It was the coup she'd hardly hoped to manage. If Dejan trained her, approved of her, she'd be that much closer to silver robes. To having everything.
She had to be perfect. Everything about this night had to be perfect.

July 20, 2016 07:00 ET
TUSTIN, CA--(Marketwired - Jul 20, 2016) - Premier Holding Corporation (OTCQB: PRHL) announces that it is in preparation to launch operations of its recently acquired FERC-licensed supplier of deregulated energy, American Illuminating Company (AIC), the timing to coincide with the impending FERC recognition of the transfer of ownership. As previously reported, this acquisition is designed to accelerate dramatic growth and long term stability.
This recently acquired supplier puts the company in a position to grow top line revenues 8-10 times higher from the same sales being performed by the company as well as increasing profits by supplying the power to its current business of reselling or brokering power. This new company will capture additional profits generated by buying power wholesale for retail sale. This improved performance is from "same sales" efforts being performed by the company and does not include the recruitment of outside resellers that the company anticipates will sell for the supplier as well. In addition, the company will provide services beyond the scope of many other suppliers by allowing them access to its custom-made technology: ESP (Energy Services Portal), which provides an end-to-end system for selling, tracking and accounting deregulated power. This proprietary sales portal will streamline sales efforts, enforce compliance, and increase productivity.
PRHL's Chairman and CEO Randall Letcavage stated, "As we launch AIC as our power suppler it will serve as the 'anchor' for PRHL's business plan to increase revenue and generate profits from all of its various subsidiaries by offering and integrating its entire suite of products and services to its ever expanding database of satisfied customers. This action takes us one step closer to our larger strategic plans which we believe will have a positive effect on shareholder value."

NLS A380 Update:/
FSX. Many of you have been asking and no previews. But here is what the team had to say today: "Hey folks! Long time no hear! To make it short: Q: Why are there no news updates?
A: Because there is nothing new to show basically - apart from program code what we have shown so far should be enough for an impression. Q: Why did it take so long to post an update?
A: Because we are working lots of hours in the film/animation department ( Next Level GFX ) which doesn't leave much time for the A380 right now. Like I said, that's the main job and source of financial income, so these jobs have to be prioritized. I know you guys are eagerly waiting for updates, but I cannot help it, sorry. Bills have to be paid. Q: Is the A380 project still alive?
A: It is unless you hear anything different from an official side Q: When will it be released?
A: Be sure that as soon as we know an answer to that, you will be the first to know!"
Well, there you go... Thanks to ADX reader Zack Kerr for the tipoff.

OxbridgeSixth Form » Oxbridge
We would encourage any student with an excellent academic record to apply to Oxford or Cambridge. In 2017 5 of our students took up places to study at both universities, and had support throughout their time in sixth form from teachers and the sixth form team.
We have strong links with Merton College, Oxford, and have run day trips to the college for students to get a flavour of life at Oxford. On this trip students also get to discuss personal statements and explore the experiences of current undergraduates.
We also run an Oxbridge Group. This is open to all students in the sixth form who want to apply to top universities. In this group they will discuss their specific subject interests, grow their super-curricular activities and receive support/guidance in relation to Oxbridge specific entry requirements.

Jesus is not the problem - the Church is
1. First, whatever the claims made by Christianity, personally they seem to be making very little difference to some Christians' lives. Or to put it another, more crude way:"if you ARE happy, try telling your face." I believe that people are desperately seeking a better life than the one they are living, and are looking for guidance from those who historically seemed to have the answer, i.e. the Church. But when the enquirers look in our direction they find people little different from themselves, only with a religious veneer stuck over it. So they perceptively identify hypocrisy and are naturally angry and disappointed. They want to know. They are desperate to find out, but what they see in us is not the answer.
Jesus was angry with the religious authorities of his day. They were, in his words, blind people trying to lead blind people. Instead of relieving burdens they were increasing them. Jesus came to set us free. As people set free from the worlds burdens, our faces and our lives should be evidencing it.
2. Second, Church, instead of being the embodiment of a Jesus who is alive and changing lives, has become an institution that represents the opposite. A number of years ago a book was published which looked at this. It was aptly called "God's Frozen People!" Instead of displaying the warmth of a personal relationship with the Risen Christ, the Church has become an institution which sings, reads and prays about Jesus, but with very little conviction that He is someone known other than by historical hearsay. Paul writing to the Church in Philippi told them that the aim of the Christian life was to "know Christ and the power of his resurrection". (Phil 3:10) Jesus is risen and alive. He is therefore Someone we can meet and know. It is the same power that resurrected him that can flow in our loves, changing and transforming us from within. How do we proceed then?
Make an honest exploration of the notion, contained in scripture, that we can "know Christ and the power of His resurrection". This is not fantasy or something claimed by religiously weird individuals. It is the consistent experience and witness of individuals throughout Church history and today.
Two years ago a series appeared on BBC 2 called "The Monastery". Five men from different walks of life volunteered to spend 40 days with the Benedictine monks of Worth Abbey. Why? To see if they could discover if there was more to life than this. The series came to a dramatic conclusion with what has been described as an on screen conversion of one of the individuals called Tony. In his own words he described the kind of background he was coming from:
"God meant nothing to me. He was an old geezer with a beard in illustrated text books or comedy sketches. He was a figure of fun and parody. Like everything religious in the outside world. Religion is mocked and belittled for the purposes of entertainment, and having spent years working in the media and in advertising and TV, I'd done my fair share of cynical mockery of everything the church stands for and those who choose to use what it has to offer.
God doesn't exist. Church is for old people who smell of wee. Priests are running from life. Theologians are on a meal ticket attempting to answer the unanswerable question of the existence of God, and will flesh it out until they retire to Spain... etc. "
Hardly promising material, but as he took the time out for exploration, the silence and the scriptures began to seep slowly into his soul, Tony began to come face to face with the existence of God. It was a process that took place over 6 weeks. It wasn't a quick or instant fix. Again, in his own words:
"…I was able to familiarise myself with extracts and parables within (the New Testament) which gave me a better understanding of my life and how to live it in a better way. I was able to see myself in certain characters in the scriptures and work out in my mind where I was going wrong and how I could make it right."
And on the last day before he was due to leave, all the strands came together, and the door of his life opened onto another reality, THE reality, God. Tony again:
"Then, mid-way through my last conversation with my mentor Brother Francis, I was hit by something I'll never forget. It was like I'd taken a new drug and felt paralysed and unable to speak. It lasted about a minute. Francis blessed me and we went outside and I chain-smoked a pack of cigarettes, deeply moved by what had just happened.
And that was it. That was my call. That was my answer it existed. There was something in it. It wasn't just grown-ups dressing up. Or something to do on a Sunday before the pubs opened. I wasn't looking for it. I wasn't willing it to happen nor was I expecting it to happen, but it did. It was real. And I felt that for the first time in my life. And without realising it, I had worked very hard at making myself receptive to it, if there was anything there in the first place to be receptive for. I'd made myself spiritually open to offers. … I was put in touch with a spirituality deep inside me which has given me the energy and inclination to strive for so much more in my life and appreciate what's important and be a better person and lead a better life. My general world view has changed."
This is the gift that God has given to the Church; i.e. the means to bring people into contact with the living God who is present in its midst. Coming to Church for one or two Sundays won't do it. There's no quick fix. You have to search; you have to give yourself to the task. You have to dig deeper than the surface of a service or a religious tract. God is there but you must pursue Him even as He pursues you. And the role of the Christian is to help, guide and share God with those who seek him. Our role is to live so close to God that we make him more visible and attainable to others. It's a high calling. The highest. But there are thousands of Tony's out there calling us hypocrites but deep down hoping that we are otherwise.

Last Friday our baby girl turned 3 years old and we celebrated over the weekend with a rainbow themed birthday bash!
It's so crazy to think about how different our lives were 3 years ago. We were living in Orebro, Sweden and anticipating the arrival of our sweet baby girl. My, how our lives have changed. We feel so blessed to have Reesey bear in our lives and love watching her learn and grow.
Right now she loves books, puzzles and everything girly! She still loves Dora, but also Peppa Pig and Max and Ruby. She is also loving all things crafty too. Markers, crayons, paint, stamps, and play-doh are a few faves. She has a wild imagination and we have so much fun listening to all the stories and games she comes up with. Still a great sleeper but think naps might be on their way out, something I'm definitely not looking forward to. Bedtime seems to be getting later too which might have something to do with naps. Reese loves her new daycare but took a little while to adjust as with all things. She has a few friends that she regularly talks about which is so cute to see. Reese is such a great big sis, usually watching out for her baby brother, but isn't afraid to tell him he's not allowed to have certain toys. Although, I must say, she has taken 'danger' things away from him before I've even seen that he has them. Such a big helper!

Reese's 3rd Rainbow Bday Bash
Posted by Traveling Wife at 8:17 AM No comments:
I keep thinking about all the catch-up posts I owe this little blog but then get sidetracked with bottles, lunches, cleaning, and other miscellaneous baby and toddler things.
I know most of the people reading this blog know by now we are no longer living the 'hockey life'. Which is part of the reason for all the time away from the blog. In short, we've been busy with so many changes and adjustments I barely know where to begin.
We knew heading to the UK a couple years ago, we were nearing the end of the road. It was part of the decision to go there and pursue Scott's MBA. Just another way to prepare for life after hockey. Then I got pregnant with Owen and playing another year just made the most sense for us. Life with two started to change things a bit. We talked much more seriously about the reality of life after hockey. Scott started his job search and luckily enough had an offer before his season was even over. We started to prepare for the big move home, a daunting task with a lively 2 1/2 year old and newborn.
Fast forward 6 months and we are finally feeling settled at home. We bought our first house and what a feeling to actually be planting roots somewhere. Of course, there will always be a part of us that misses the hockey lifestyle but we are so happy to be raising our babies at home with our family and friends. I think we are through the transition phase of Scott's first job, outside of hockey, finding a new daycare for Reese, staying home with the kids, etc. There were definitely a few rough patches along the way with all the changes happening for all of us but we made it through.

Owen Update
Owen is such a sweet little guy and the best cuddle bug around. He LOVES to be in someone's arms and you'll rarely hear a peep out of him if he is. Perfectly content snuggling up with someone. Such a change from his big sis as a babe. We thought Reese was a great sleeper so I was shocked to discover Owen is even better. He takes two great two hour naps a day and sometimes a cat nap in the early evenings. You can just put him in his sleep sack, turn his sheep on and out he goes. No fuss whatsoever. As if naps weren't good enough, he is a champion nighttime sleeper too, going down around 7:30pm and up around 7:00am! We are certainly counting out blessings in the sleep department.
At his 6 month well baby, he weighed in at just over 18lbs which is just above the 50th percentile. He's a strong little guy too, rolling both ways around 3 months and is full on crawling now too. In the past couple weeks, he's started to pull himself to standing and seems so proud of himself when he does. I can't say I'm quite ready for him to be mobile though. Time to baby-proof the house!
It usually takes a little work to get giggles out of him, but big sis Reese can get a good belly laugh from him with little effort. He loves his big sis and that love is most definitely returned ten-fold! When Reese gets home from 'school' she runs in the house looking for Po (as we've come to call him).
He is also a great eater and lights up when he sees his bottles. He was a little leery about his first tastes of rice cereal but is eating an entire bowl with gusto now! He loves other things we've tried too like carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, rutabaga, apples and blueberries. Rice rusks and puffs keep him busy while we're getting his food ready but he hasn't quite mastered the task of getting them to his mouth.
I can't believe how fast the time is flying by. Life with two kids was a big adjustment at first but we couldn't imagine life without two now!

Back at it again!
I know I've been away from this 'ol blog for much too long but really want to get back into it. I was just reading through some of the posts and it reminded me of why I enjoyed it so much. I want to be able to look back on these posts and see what life was like, one snippet at a time. Will be back soon with lots of updates!

Owen Update
It's hard to believe how incredibly fast the time flies. I can't believe our baby boy is already 2 months, going on 3. It's been a bit of a whirlwind but things are finally feeling like 'normal' life again.
Owen has turned out to be such a great sleeper and generally happy boy. He's fallen into a great routine, eating about every 3 or 3 1/2 hours and napping great in between. We've started putting him up in his bed for naps which helps him sleep better and allows Reese to have some special playtime with us. Bedtime is a breeze now too as he goes down without a fuss and has been sleeping much longer stretches through the night. Sometimes he's up around 5 or 6am for a feed and occasionally lasting until around 7am. What a difference a full night's sleep makes for this mama!
Owen rolled from his belly to his back a couple weeks ago but hasn't done it again since. I left him on his blanket for a little tummy time and turned around a minute later and he was on his back. Then we rolled him back over and he showed us his new trick again. We still haven't caught it on camera but will keep trying. He's also started to giggle a little bit and it's the sweetest sound!
Reese is such a great big sister and loves to give Owen cuddles as often as she can. She loves to hold him and tries to help if he's crying too. We couldn't ask for more!

Make these!
Valentine's Day is usually pretty low-key around here. We try and do a nice meal in and a some kind of dessert. This year, with a newborn and a wild two year old, quick and easy works best. I found these peanut butter pretzel treats and thought they fit the bill so gave them a try. Delicious! They remind me of a Hershey take 5 candy bar, salty, sweet, peanut butter and chocolate, a perfect combo! Recipe found here.

A Birth Story
It's hard to believe Owen is 6 weeks old today. Where has the time gone? I thought I would share the story of his arrival.
With no signs of him making an appearance on his due date, I decided to hit the gym for a light workout in hopes of moving things along. I guess it worked because early the next morning I woke up to light cramping. By about 6am, full on contractions had started. Things seemed to be moving along rather quickly. Reese was in daycare that day so Scott got her ready and left to drop her off. By the time he was home, I was in quite a bit of pain, having contractions every 6 or 7 minutes. We called the hospital and they said to try and wait until they were 3 or 4 minutes apart. By 10am, they were almost unbearable and I decided it was time to go. I was having intense contractions every couple minutes on the half hour drive to the hospital.
Once we arrived, Scott was asking me where to park and I think my response was something like, '...just stop the car and let me out anywhere'. I was not in a good place by then! We got in and found out I was dilated to a 6 or 7. I told the midwife I really wanted an epidural and at first she questioned me saying I was already so close. I was not messing around though and said I definitely wanted the epidural. In order to have one, I had to be moved upstairs, out of the midwife unit. At that point, I didn't care where I would be, just wanted the meds! The midwife took about 20 minutes to get my paperwork sorted and call upstairs to advise I would be coming up. When she came in to get me in a wheelchair to head upstairs, I was having the urge to push so she checked me again. In 20 minutes I had gone from 6 or 7cm dilated to fully dilated and ready to push. He was on his way, ready or not. I pushed for around 40 minutes and was holding my sweet baby boy.
One minor hiccup in the delivery process was his cord was loosely wrapped around his neck. The midwife lifted it up and around his neck and it snapped, spraying both midwives and the room with blood! It honestly looked like a crime scene in there. Both midwives said they had never seen anything like it before. No cord cutting for Daddy.
No time for any pain management was not in my birth plan. At all. I was fully intending on having an epidural, gas and air, whatever would help me get through labor and delivery. I never thought I wouldn't even have the option. Even though it wasn't part of the plan, it is amazing to think what your body can endure. Of course, there were times I was begging for something and honestly didn't think I could do it. But in the end, I did, proving myself wrong and reminding me what we're capable of if we really dig deep.
Owen was 8lbs. 5oz. and 20in. long. He looks a lot like his big sis did when she was born. He was due for a check-up at 6 hours of life and if all was well, we were planning on heading home. Unfortunately, the midwife detected a heart murmur when she was checking him over so we had to stay the night for further observation. They explained that it was fairly common for a valve in newborns hearts to close up on its on within the first 24-48 hours of life if it hadn't before birth. We were hoping that was the case with Owen. At his 24 hour check up, the murmur was still there so he needed further testing. The tests all checked out okay and they would listen for the murmur again at 48 hours of life. Luckily, at 48 hours, the murmur could no longer be detected. It was a stressful couple of days, but we're so thankful all was well in the end and have a beautiful and healthy baby boy.
We are busy trying to adjust to life with two kids. Not as easy as it sounds but we're learning as we go!
