The Cancer Center at LCMH Hosts Annual Cancer Survivor Event Bringing Support, Resources and Inspiration to Nearly 200 Attendees
On Saturday, November 4th, Little Company of Mary Hospital (LCMH) hosted its annual Cancer Survivor Event at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Alsip, Illinois. This full-day program welcomed nearly 200 guests and was open to cancer patients, survivors and those who support them.
The event featured keynote speaker Geralyn Lucas, author of Why I Wore Lipstick to My Mastectomy and cancer survivor. Geralyn Lucas was only 27 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Shaking the foundations of her world, she was faced with the harrowing decision of whether or not to undergo a mastectomy. She shares her incredible journey in her memoir Why I Wore Lipstick to My Mastectomy. Having been diagnosed at an early age, Lucas thought it was important to share her story with others to help dispel the myth that breast cancer discriminates by age. Filled with courage, humor and inspirational candor, Why I Wore Lipstick to My Mastectomy details Lucas' internal struggle and soul searching to rediscover her "inner cleavage" after losing a key female-defining characteristic and feel sexy and whole once again. Lucas' message is not just for women who have experienced the effects of cancer.
"I'm so inspired and thankful for everyone I've met on this amazing journey. It has transformed into something beyond my wildest dreams," said Lucas. "Love is always stronger than our cancer, love always finds a way. No one can take that away."
Following the featured presentation, guests participated in various breakout sessions: Nutrition and the Cancer Survivor – addressing nutrition concerns both during and after cancer treatment; All about Acupuncture and Its Application in Helping Cancer Patients – using acupuncture to treat the uncomfortable side effects patients often experience from either the cancer or the treatments they are undergoing; and GetSet™ to Release Stress – guide you through the process of releasing anxiety and fear by simply tapping your fingertips on acupressure points while making specific statements. Guests also enjoyed lunch, an afternoon ice cream social, music by the amazing all women band, Grace Notesand incredible raffle prizes.
"This event is very special to Little Company of Mary Hospital, said Susan Arnold, MHA, BSN, RN, director of patient care services at LCMH. "We believe that survivorship begins at the moment of diagnosis. The Cancer Center provides our patients with comprehensive treatment options and a full continuum of care, from diagnosis through survivorship."

As the National Park Service celebrates its 100th anniversary we can all support and encourage those among us who have yet to experience the wonders of nature. Part of a broad coalition of public land advocates The Joy Trip Project is working to help shape and illustrate a vision for the next 100 years of service to environmental protection that includes the practical interests of all Americans. In a policy document drafted for President Barack Obama our coalition has outlined five key areas upon which the Department of the Interior and the Department of Agriculture can focus their attention in order to make the management and conservation of public land more diverse and inclusive. These areas of focus include:
* Access to Public Lands
* Historical, spiritual, sacred and cultural preservation
* Landscape-Scale Conservation
* Stakeholder Engagement
* Workforce Diversity
The details of the policy document and vision statement for the Centennial Initiative are available online in a petition at Change.org Under the authority of an executive order these policy items can be used to direct a philosophical change in how federal agencies and non-profit preservation groups create and implement strategies for the thoughtful protection of public land. The coalition is asking President Obama to issue a Presidential Memorandum on the Centennial Anniversary date of the National Park Service, August 25, 2016. And with the support of the American people as demonstrated by those who sign the petition it would indeed be possible to create a cultural environment where everyone, regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender identity or socio-economic status is made to feel welcome to enjoy the natural world.
In order to prompt members of Congress and the heads of various organizations across the country to support this vision the Joy Trip Project aims to connect with real people at different sites around the country. We want to get their impressions of how these policies might impact the future. Through a series of audio and video interviews called the New Century Vision Project I hope to demonstrate that the idea of more inclusive public land management has merit and is worth pursuing. With any luck we might indeed establish a new conservation movement for all Americans that will last well into the next century.

Carolina Panthers
In a league known for second chances, Panthers rookie Jordan Scarlett earned his
Before he hung up the phone following an interview with the Observer, Central Michigan head coach Jim McElwain had a request regarding his former player, Jordan Scarlett — who McElwain suspended twice while both were at the University of Florida.
"If you do get a chance to talk to him, tell him I'm rooting for him, man," McElwain said. "I hope he does well."
The NFL is known for its willingness to give second chances. Whether some of its recipients deserve one is subjective; but the people who know Jordan Scarlett say he deserves his.
The Panthers rookie wasn't the best-known name selected during the 2019 NFL Draft, when Carolina made him the 154th overall pick. His tape showed a running back with a rare blend of speed (4.47-second 40-yard dash) and strength (465-pound max bench press) that the league generally drools over. But his 1,846 yards and 12 touchdowns over three seasons weren't as flashy as some of the other backs taken before him.
He slipped into the fifth round, however, partly due to his yearlong suspension as a junior at Florida in 2017 for theft by credit card fraud. Scarlett opted for a pre-trial diversion program to expunge the felony charge from his record and was welcomed back to the team by new head coach Dan Mullen for the 2018 season. Still, it was the second disciplinary suspension of Scarlett's collegiate career — the first stemming from misdemeanor marijuana charges as a freshman — and interested teams had reasonable doubt about Scarlett's character.
Panthers general manager Marty Hurney did his homework on Scarlett during the pre-draft process. He liked what he saw on tape but says he needed assurance before adding Scarlett to his team's running backs room.
Hurney says he came away impressed — enough so to give Scarlett a call on day three of the draft.
"The biggest thing is, he was very remorseful. He admitted he made a mistake when he was a freshman," Hurney said after the draft. "He was the one guy that stayed (after his suspension) and worked his way back to make up for it. I think that's really what impressed us the most.
"You talk to anybody down there, they love this kid."
No freedom of consequence
Scarlett added $1,940 to his girlfriend's UF bookstore account in 2017, using stolen credit card information. Per the Gainesville Sun, he admitted to investigators that he used the information to buy computer equipment "because he thought he could get away with it."
He didn't. McElwain, then the Florida coach, suspended Scarlett, along with eight other players, for what amounted to the entire 2017 season. Rather than remove him from the team outright, McElwain gave the running back an opportunity to earn his redemption.
"He just wanted to see if I was going to be one of those guys that quit or if I was going to continue to work," Scarlett said. "I always stayed working out and kept my head in that gameplan.
"I stuck around because I felt like I had something to prove. I had to clean up my name, for one, and two, I had to prove to Gator fans that I really cared about the program. It was more of a thing for me to show everybody and show myself."
McElwain said he never believed Scarlett wasn't a good fit to remain with the team, or wasn't a good person.
But he said his responsibility as a coach and molder of young men meant implementing one of his programs' core philosophies.
"We all have freedom of choice — we don't have freedom of consequence," McElwain said. "It's really what we learn from our choices. In this case, he didn't pout, he didn't come in and try to hide it. That's what I love about Jordan and a couple of other guys that were involved, they owned up to it. That, to me, tells me a lot about a person.
"He understood what it was, took care of it immediately and worked his tail off. With that, I think sometimes those bumps in the road that happen to us along the way help us become stronger."
While three of the nine suspended players, transferred from Florida and one, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Antonio Calloway, declared for the NFL Draft, Scarlett began the difficult process of clearing his name.
Prior to 2017, he'd never suffered a major injury or took another sort of leave of absence; his year away from football was the longest he'd spent off the field.
"It was definitely challenging, one of the toughest times of my life," Scarlett said. "It was something that made me the man who I am today. It made me reflect on how much football meant to me and how I really needed to start taking it more seriously."
'I don't know you and I don't care about your past'
McElwain left Florida prior to the 2018 season, meaning if Scarlett were to return to the Gators, it'd be at the decision of a coach who didn't recruit him to the program.
But two months after the university hired Mullen, Scarlett and three teammates were re-instated to the team.
"Coach Mullen came up to me like a man and told me we're starting off with a clean slate," Scarlett said. "(Mullen said) 'I don't know you, I don't care about your past.' He was never trying to judge me and I was thankful for that.
"He gave me the opportunity and I took advantage of it."
Mullen could not be reached for comment.
Scarlett split time in the Gators' backfield with Lamical Perine, finishing the season second on the team in rushing yards and attempts. It was enough to convince the Panthers to bring him to Charlotte as a backup to Christian McCaffrey.
He joins a carefully curated Carolina locker room that lost longtime veteran leaders Thomas Davis and Ryan Kalil, but retained enough veteran leadership to keep the rookie's redemption tour on the right path.
Of course, it's not solely on the Panthers vets to keep Scarlett out of trouble — he's responsible for his own behavior. That's what he's proved to those who know him over the past two years.
"Every one of us has messed up at some point. The key is learning from any mistake and any failure that we do and move forward," McElwain said. "He never used it as a 'woe is me' kind of deal. He kept working
"What makes me more proud than anything is to see guys that fight through when things aren't perfect."

Budget airlines and affordable fares have turned Spain into a sunny beach resort that is close to home. A haven for northern Europeans wishing to escape their own (sometimes) damp and dreary climates. With sun-bleached beaches it's easy to see why it is such a popular choice for beach holiday in Europe. An incredible 53 million people visit each year and the country deserves its formidable reputation as a tourist haven.
Spain is comprised of numerous autonomous regions, offering great variation within one country. The hundreds of miles of Mediterranean coastline provide ample opportunity to get off the beaten track. The country's vibrant cities and colourful festivals will amaze and delight even the most seasoned traveller. Art lovers can get lost in the Spain. With Gaudi, Dali, and Picasso, of Goya and Velazquez – proudly displayed in the country's museums and galleries.
It is more than a travel destination – it's a way of life. The country's many attractions and the journeys between them are infused. With the warm welcome of the diverse people and the highly valued laid-back lifestyle that the Spaniards have perfected. Spanish holidays should be slow, with room for spontaneity and unexpected diversions. The wealth of things to see and do is such that the top attractions in Spain are whole cities, towns and islands. A single holiday can barely scratch the surface of what this country has to offer. It is best to plan an itinerary around a single city or region.
Spain 's Climate
Southern Spain is the ideal holiday region, having the warmest weather on mainland Europe, even during the winter months. The southern and eastern coast has a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters, while the west Atlantic coast is cooler in summer and wet in winter. Inland the climate is temperate and the capital Madrid, which is situated on a plateau, can be surprisingly cold in winter. Most of the country is extremely hot during mid-summer, in July and August. The rest of the year the climate is generally temperate in the north, but warm in the south. The peak tourism season is summer, between June and August, with August the busiest month, but many people prefer to visit Spain during spring or autumn (May or October) when the weather is still pleasant and the crowds thinner.
So don't delay, call Mint Holidays on 01282 930295 to book your holiday in Spain today!

MJ Simpson presents: the longest-running single-author film site on the web, est.2002.
Sunday, 20 January 2013
The Spiral
Writer: Joji Iida
Producers: Takashige Ichise, Shinya Kawai
Cast: Hinako Saeki, Hiroyuki Sanada, Koichi Sato
Year of release: 1998
Country: Japan
Reviewed from: VHS screener (Artsmagic)
The Spiral aka Rasen was the original sequel to Ring. The two films were adapted from the first two books in Koji Suzuki's trilogy, were shot simultaneously and released together on the same day in 1998. Ring was a huge hit, Rasen died a death and the studio swiftly commissioned an original alternative sequel, Ring 2, while dropping plans to film Suzuki's third book, Loop.
Since then, Rasen has been an elusive sidebar on the ever-growing saga of Ring (Ring 0, Ring Virus, The Ring, etc) and this release from ArtsMagic's Eastern Cult Cinema label is the first ever version with English subtitles. At last we can find out what this is all about.
Our central character this time round is Doctor Ando (Koichi Sato, who was in Gonin but was not, despite what some sources claim, in Gorath as he would have been two years old at the time!), who was at medical school with the first film's Ryuji (Hiroyuki Sanada again: Message from Space, Ninja Wars, Sure Death 4). Two years ago Ando was unable to save his little boy from dying and has only a lock of his hair to remind him; he's this close to suicide. Then comes the news that his old friend Ryuji is dead - and Ando has to perform the autopsy.
The cause of death seems to be myocardial infarction (heart attack) caused by a small tumour on a major blood vessel. Curiously, there is a small slip of paper stuck in Ryuji's throat, with a sequence of numbers on it. Apparently, back at med school, Ando and Ryuji used to enjoy making and breaking codes, and Ryuji's were notoriously difficult to crack - although the solution to this one turns out to be jaw-droppingly easy.
Uzumaki, GMK: All Monsters Attack - as a much more impish and less gothic antagonist).
The other key figure in this version is Mai (actress/singer Miki Nakatani), a student and lover of Ryuji seen in Ring and who was the person who discovered his body. Unfortunately Nakatani seems to have only one expression and the film bogs down considerably whenever she appears. She is so wooden, it's like watching a bad Julia Roberts film. Or like watching a Julia Roberts film. Except she can act as we find out later under circumstances which I won't reveal so as not to spoil the plot, and as we subsequently saw in Ring 2 so maybe we should put her irritatingly tedious performance down to the direction.
Artsmagic's DVD includes a newly shot interview with director Joji Iida (Another Heaven, Battle Heater), of which eight minutes is included on this screener tape, and he says something which is probably the key to why Rasen flopped but Ring 2 was a hit. He says that in his view Ring is a horror movie but Rasen is science fiction.
You can see his point, in that a central part of the plot is an attempt to find a scientific (or rather pseudo-scientific) explanation for the curse as a form of virus. There's talk about the tumours in the bodies looking like a mutated form of smallpox, and there is discussion of the virus being information-based, hence its transmission by watching the video, or even just reading a description of the images (which leads to a brilliant bit of self-referential dialogue towards the end).
I've watched the final twenty minutes or so twice now and I still don't know precisely what's going on. It's something to do with using Sadako's cells to clone dead loved ones but to be honest it doesn't make much sense, though it's nicely played and gives the impression that it ought to be much more impressively revelatory than it actually is.
I think part of the problem is that Iida (who previously wrote the script for a TV movie of Ring) was making an SF film in a horror franchise and thus somewhat fell between two stools, especially with a certain amount of police procedural thrown into the mix. Rasen completely reinvents some of the ideas proposed in Ring - the whole smallpox explanation is as unsatisfying as that Midichlorian nonsense which explained the Force in The Phantom Menace - and as such you can see why Japanese audiences shunned it once word of mouth spread. It might have done better had it been released a year later, but really, who wants to see a double bill where Film 2 contradicts/ignores what you enjoyed most about Film 1?
On its own, Rasen is quite enjoyable, and there is a big infodump about half an hour in when Yoshido describes the entire plot of the first film to Ando, which is useful for those of us who haven't seen Ring since it was released but must have irritated audiences who had only just finished watching that film. Rasen is just nothing like Ring, in terms of story or style; it shares some characters and the cursed video tape, and that's about it. Two directors more different that Hideo Nakata and Joji Iida you would be hard-pressed to find, and while that may have been a deliberate move by the producers, it was, in retrospect, bound to annoy audiences.
Although the DVD is in 16:9 widescreen, this timecoded VHS is full-screen so it's difficult to judge Iida's directorial skill. The film seems rather pedestrian and slow and talky (though it's only 98 minutes) and frankly comes across like a very long TV episode (Iida also wrote and directed several episodes of the supernatural detective series Another Heaven Eclipse) - but that may just be a result of watching this tape. Similarly, I can't comment on the image quality, though I expect it will be well up to ArtsMagic's usual standard. The disc also includes a trailer and bio-filmographies (by Yours Truly) of Joji Iida, Hinako Saeki, Hiroyuki Sanada, Koichi Sato, Miki Nakatani and Yutaka Matsushiga.
The Spiral is not a lost classic, but rather a road wisely not taken. Nevertheless, for fans of the Ring movies, this is an essential - and fascinating - purchase.

EMMITSBURG, Md. – Campbell held off a charging Mount St. Mary's team en route to a 54-48 victory in non-conference women's basketball action on Monday.
Jessie Kaufman (Damascus, Md./Damascus) fueled a furious comeback attempt for the Mount (1-1) with 15 points after making seven-straight shots for the Mountaineers to outscore the Camels (4-0) 15-8 in a span of six minutes and seven seconds, including an 8-0 run in a spurt of two minutes and 30 seconds. The junior finished the game one point shy of her career best with 24 points while adding eight rebounds, two steals, two blocks and an assist in the loss.
Tonisha Baker paced Campbell with 17 points. Kiera Gaines added 15 points and Ashley James hauled in 12 rebounds in the winning effort.
Campbell took the lead late in the first half and looked to pull away in the final frame before Kaufman nearly helped Mount St. Mary's rally for the victory only to see the Camels hold on to take the first meeting between the two programs.
Campbell took the lead for good with two Gaines free throws with 1:58 left in the first half, but Kaufman gave the Mountaineers fans some excitement by hitting seven-straight shots and nearly pulling the Mount even with the Camels.
Kaufman started her spurt with a pair of baskets inside before Campbell grabbed a 36-25 lead. Kaufman then drained a 3-ball at 11:51 before RaeChaun Edwards scored in the lane to restore a double-digit edge. Kaufman then rolled off the next eight points to make it a one-possession game with 9:02 remaining. Kaufman knocked down 3-pointers at 11:07 and 10:25 before scoring in the paint at 9:02 to trim the margin to 38-36. Gaines and Kaufman would trade baskets to maintain the two-point margin with 8:15 left. Mount St. Mary's caused three turnovers and had three chances to tie or take the lead, but could not convert before James scored in the lane with 5:52 left.
Trailing by six points with 5:01 remaining, Mount St. Mary's had one more spurt after Jenn Carney (Drexel Hills, Pa./Archbishop Spalding) and Sydney Henderson (Richmond, Va./Atlee) scored at 4:36 and 1:45, respectively, to make it a 44-42 margin. Baker and Selina Mann (Gainesville, Va./Battlefield) traded points to maintain the two-point difference with 59 ticks on the clock before Campbell registered eight of the final 12 points to come away with the victory.
The Mountaineers started the game by scoring 15 of the 23 points of the game to take the early advantage. Kaufman was the catalyst of that run with seven points while Carney added four points in that stretch.
The Camels then closed the half on a 16-4 run to take a 24-19 lead going into the locker room. Zena Lovette fueled the run with five points. The Camels then posted 12 of the first 18 points in the second half to take its largest lead at 36-25 with 12:46. The Kaufman show had already started, but she took over the next couple of minutes and nearly pulled the Mount even only to see Campbell earn the 54-48 victory.
Carney finished with a career-best eight points. Henderson, who was named the Northeast Conference Choice Hotels Co-Player of the Week on Monday, tallied six points, seven rebounds and four assists. Mann added four points, five rebounds and four steals in the loss.
Mount St. Mary's returns to action on Sunday at Howard.

The year 2020 seems so futuristic. In fact, it is less than one-half decade away. What skills will the IT service desk worker need to develop in order to be successful five years from now? How will the workload change and how will tech workers need to adapt in order to keep up? Here are the skills you'll need to thrive in IT by the year 2020.
1. The Ability to Understand and Derive Useful Information from Big Data
Big data is no longer just a buzzword. It is turning into a powerful tool used for all sorts of business endeavors. By 2020, big data will be such an important part of business intelligence that all IT workers will need a solid understanding of how to analyze it and derive meaningful strategies from big data.
2. The Ability to Specialize, While Also Cross-Specializing
As technology progresses, the jobs are becoming more specialized. At the same time, businesses are forced to tighten their budgets, meaning it isn't necessarily possible to hire an individual for each position needed in the IT department. This means that workers will have to be more specialized, while also being able to cross-specialize as the job requires so that all the work gets done with fewer employees.
3. Deep Knowledge and Intuition Regarding Cyber Security
Cyber security isn't just an issue, it is the primary issue IT departments are dealing with today. The rapid increase in cyber attacks between 2011 and 2014, combined with the increasingly complex nature of these attacks, means that every IT professional should be security savvy, no matter what specialization they choose.
4. The Ability to Communicate Well With Both Tech and Non-Tech People
One of the nice things about today's technology is that you don't have to be a tech genius to use it. Toddlers are capable of learning how to play games on a smartphone, and grandmothers can use their tablets to email the kids on vacation. This means that tomorrow's service desk workers will need to be able to communicate well both with their tech savvy counterparts, as well as non-tech users and customers.
5. Cross-Cultural Understanding and Communication
It truly is becoming a global workplace. No matter where in the world you work, it is unlikely you will end up in an ethically or culturally homogeneous environment. Tomorrow's service desk will need to be able to understand, communicate with, and relate to people of all nationalities, cultures, and backgrounds.
6. The Ability to Interact Smartly With the Media
"The media" has traditionally meant a group of reporters working for established and generally well-known publications. Today "the media" refers to a large section of the public — bloggers, social media gurus, and many others. The service desk will need to be aware of how social media, blogs, and other non-traditional media venues can impact their business.
7. The Mentality of a Designer
As businesses increasingly depend on their Internet images, every tech worker will need at least a basic working knowledge of design. Things can't just work well anymore, they also have to look good doing it. From websites to advertisements to online knowledge bases, the service desk needs to think and act like a designer.
8. The Ability to Collaborate Virtually
Workplaces aren't just becoming more diverse, they are also spreading out. Remote workers, telecommuters, and outside-the-office sales workers are all part of the organizational infrastructure. New tools for collaborating virtually are making it easier to share a project with workers in India, Brazil, the UK, or across town. It is critical that tech workers are able to develop and use new technologies to collaborate with those outside the traditional office setting.

So this is my revenge. For my thirty-ninth birthday I have written thirty-nine pieces of really solid, hard-won life lessons for you. In my heart, this information is sort of dedicated to my nearly grown daughters and my little sisters and nieces, as well as to any women or girls who might bend a listening ear. If I think I know anything in life, it's only because I did it wrong first. Repeatedly. I believe it was it Elanor Roosevelt who said, "Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself." Okay. Today, here are items one through fourteen.
#1. Life passes by so quickly. This may sound cliche, but cliches are often rooted in truth. Take life slow and easy when you can. Choose to be happy every single time you realize you have a choice. Soak up as many details as possible. Notice your people, count your blessings, and breathe deeply.
#2. Wear sunscreen. If you are a little younger than me, than you were probably raised with this habit anyway, but I am here to tell you that even if you like some summer color (I happen to like a LOT), you absolutely must protect your face, shoulders, collarbone, and hands. Find other fun ways to "blush."
#3. Be careful how you witness your most passionate beliefs to others. What you think of as zeal can in fact be a very destructive act of self glorification. True spiritual witnessing should be loving. If you're brandishing political beliefs, then you probably already know the risks. Good luck.
#4. When making changes to your home, be careful that you do so with a good, positive spirit. Your mood and your memories from that day have a way of imprinting themselves into the paint, the upholstery, and the curtains. It is no fun to repeatedly see a dried paint drip on a light-switch plate that reminds you of a harsh word said out of impatience. Conversely, it's wonderful to pass by paintings and pillow covers that remind you constantly of very real love and very deep laughter. Let those redecorating days be fun and loving, silly and memorable, for all the best reasons. If you're cranky, try to turn that attitude around before arming yourself with a paintbrush or even rearranging furniture.Your physical home is definitely made up of non-physical details.
#5. At all costs, protect your natural teeth. Avoid stepping on metal garden rakes that want to smash your mouth and steal your two front teeth. While we're on this topic, also never ever do something called the "Duck Walk" on a slick gym floor; never walk backwards in a hallway with concrete walls; and never do underwater flips in concrete pools with your eyes shut. Also, go to the dentist regularly. Find a great dentist you don't mind visiting and brush, floss, and swish that pretty mouth like your future smile depends on it. Because it totally does.
#6. Cultivate Joy. Joy-making is a constant process, and it is attacked from all sides, all the time. So you must continue to plant seeds of joy everywhere you walk and do your best to protect them, grow them, and share their fruits whenever possible. The joys you cultivate in life will feed you through hard times, and they may even help someone else. Also, I am pretty sure you are responsible for your own joy. It's very personal, so do not depend on anyone else to grow it for you, not even your closest friend or your soul mate or your parents or children. They all have their own to tend, and the better everyone does individually, the more we all have to offer.
#7. Speaking of cultivation, try growing your own food. At least once, try growing something edible, either a salad or some herbs or a few rows of sweet corn or tomatoes. Wherever you live and whatever your lifestyle, there is some gardening you can do to feed yourself, and the experience will change you. Just try it. Don't waste energy being intimidated by science or success-fail stories; all you really need is dirt, sun, water, and seeds or plants. Give yourself this gift.
#8. Hold a service job. I am of the strong opinion that young people, before they truly step out into this big beautiful world, should spend some time working in a service industry. Wait tables, work a retail sales job, clean, do kitchen work, etc. And do it well. Earn your money doing physical work that relies on having good manners, a strong work ethic, and a dash of humility. It will serve you later in life in ways you cannot imagine. And enjoy and appreciate that job! Make happy memories. Be proud of your work product no matter what your title or position.
#9. "Under-Promise and Over-Deliver." This is a lesson I learned from one of those retail jobs I held, a thousand years ago. For emotionally driven, enthusiastic souls like me this mantra is tricky to execute, but the results are lovely. How much better is it to surprise someone with much more than they expected rather than disappoint them with less! My husband is really good at this, and I am trying to be better.
#10. On that note, try not to make promises when you're really happy or permanent decisions when you're really mad. This is another something that sounds cliche, but it's good advice. Let your emotions normalize a bit before slashing and extending things all crazy-pants style.
#11. Meditate. Investigate different methods of meditation, find one that suits you, and practice it regularly. I happen to see yoga, for example, as a nice compliment to a healthy prayer life. I also have learned to prize the time I spend running; it helps me clear my mind and scrub away negative emotions. Some people find certain hobbies meditative. Walk circles, chant, burn incense, draw mandalas, string beads, read scriptures, read, write, do whatever steadies and frees you, and do it often. Find little rituals that help you maintain a clean and healthy center of being.
#12. Learn to love thrift stores, garage sales, auctions, and castoff treasures. Even if you are wealthy beyond measure and can afford to buy new stuff, give yourself the gift of the hunt. Besides saving a ridiculous amount of money, you will learn things about yourself. You will discover your own sense of style instead of being a trend follower; you will feather your nest with layers of things that no one else has; and you will ever so gently fight the tide of consumerism. It's a great skill to hone in youth, when resources are usually limited. Then later in life, when you have a little extra money sitting around, you will be happy to know how to hang onto it. Handsome and I like to say that we don't shop that way because we're poor; but it's because of shopping that way for so long that we're not poor. Wait, did I say that right? You get the idea.
#13. First things first. Prioritize your work and stick to your plan as wisely as you can. Let the less important things fall away first. This style of working has a cumulative effect on momentum.
#14. Train your heart and your mind to be positive. Through experiences, with some effort, train yourself to see the best in people and to see the upside of whatever you are facing. This is not the same as just sticking your head in the sand. Instead, face your problems squarely but learn to see the best possible outcomes before they happen. Trust that good things are in store for you, and love people for the best version of themselves, even your perceived enemies. That's what you hope they will see in you, too, right? Be confident in the possibility of everything. Life is so good and beautiful!! Don't waste it by dwelling on darkness or difficulty. Except for the lesson learned, I wish I could go back in time and reclaim all the hours and days and years lost on negative thinking.
Okay, those are my first fourteen pieces of birthday wisdom for you. I know your head is just spinning right now and that you can't wait for more! (hahaha) Tune in as the week progresses for two or three more installments of Unsolicited Birthday Advice.

Kentico partner level update
As of July 7th 2017, EXLRT has reached the Kentico Silver Partner level. We're very proud of this achievement!
Climbing up the ladder in the partner program is generally a nice way of showing the business commitment to Kentico. For us at EXLRT it means more than that though. Reaching a new level involves passion towards the technology we work with and its global community. Kentico offers lots of possibilities for getting partner benefit points and basically most of them are related to activities within the community. Helping others, share our knowledge and experience with them. That's what we like to do. From our point of view sharing with the community doesn't only mean getting benefit points, but rather using the technology we like and try to get the most out of it. Our developers are keen to investigate all parts of the platform and come up with smart ideas on how to use them. Whether it be for our projects, sharing the knowledge within EXLRT or the global Kentico community. It all matters to us.
In addition to our active involvement in the Kentico community we are also proud of having our first certified Kentico developer within our own, another requirement for reaching the Kentico Silver Partner level. Dražen Janjiček, Principal Consultant and Competence Lead for all Kentico and Sitecore activities within EXLRT has passed the Kentico 10 Certified Developer exam.
It's been a very interesting exam, especially those multiple answer questions. You really have to dig up things deep in your memory. But on the other hand the exam ensures the right level of knowledge and experience for being a certified developer and using it for getting things done the right way when implementing websites with Kentico. I'm happy that I passed the exam.
We are happy that we reached this milestone with regards to the Kentico partner program but for our corporate values it's more important that we are able to fulfill everything that's expected from our developers to gain this certification. It means that our developers have the right know-how of building websites according to best practices and guidelines set up by Kentico. That's what we as a solution partner promise to our clients and partners. We're already looking forward to get more of our experienced Kentico developers certified!
While still enjoying the silver partner level update, plans are being made for getting one step further in the partner program ladder! And we're on a good pace!

Etymologia[fontem recensere]
Re "Ius venit a prisca forma *de-uis vel *de-ois. Ius est quod est contra vires, contra iram."—Is that a folk-etymology? According to The American Heritage Dictionary of Indo-European Roots, 2nd ed., ed. Calvert Watkins (Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 2000), Latin ius reflects the Proto-Indo-European root yewes-, not any de-uis or de-ois, and it seems to have nothing to do with being "contra vires, contra iram."

- They sound like ancient etymologies, but cursory googling doesn't turn up any original source. So I added that little disclaimer. If those are genuine ancient, or even medieval etymologies, they are worth keeping, but labled for what they are. The real etymology can easily be included. If I get a chance I'll check Isidore of Seville. --Iustinus 17:08, 18 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)
- I can't find anything in Isidore... check QUid differunt inter se ius, lex, et mores... I figured it would be there.--Ioshus (disp) 18:04, 18 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)
Iuris vs. Juris[fontem recensere]
Hello, i have a question regarding the academic grade "Dr. jur." / "Dr. iur.". Which one is the correct version? Thanks --188.8.131.52 19:28, 25 Martii 2007 (UTC)
- Either is correct: it depends on whether you use the letter i both as vowel and consonant, or whether you use i for the vowel and j for the consonant. This is optional in Latin. On Vicipaedia, our rule is to use i for both vowel and consonant, so our standard spelling for this would be Dr. iur. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 19:49, 25 Martii 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the explanation! --188.8.131.52 20:49, 3 Aprilis 2007 (UTC)
Scholarship on Ius[fontem recensere]
Based on my reading at A concise dictionary of greek and roman antiquities, it seems that this article's treatment of ius does not do justice :) to the meaning of the concept to the ancient romans. From what I read, ius means right in the sense of a power granted to a man to perform certain actions in a society, a social principle, a liberty, and in the sense of a general obligation of respect between men. The ajudication of these rights by judges often relied in a way on unwritten traditions and standards which correspond to what today we call common law. These rights when codified (written down) are called Leges. The main distinction that the romans made was between ius (obligation between men) and fas (obligation to the gods).--Rafaelgarcia 23:31, 25 Novembris 2007 (UTC)

A Henson Trust provides financial security for families with a family member with disabilities or special needs.
The disability amount is a non-refundable tax credit that reduces the amount of income tax people with disabilities, or people supporting them, may have to pay.
Guardianship Applications, Substitute Decision Making packages and Powers of Attorney for Property and Personal Care are commonly required by our clients to effectively care for and manage the affairs of their loved ones.
Ken is a Henson Trust specialist, helping provide peace of mind for families with a family member with disabilities or special needs.
Ken will meet with you, either online or in person, to discuss your situation. During this assessment period, Ken will address any concerns or questions you may have, until you are comfortable to move forward. Fill out our family evaluation form to get started.
Having this Trust set up for your child will ensure that once you (and your spouse, if applicable) are gone, your child will receive the inheritance and will also continue to receive ODSP payments.
Ken will continue to pay close attention to your needs, and re-evaluate your estate planning strategies, should the legislation change and ultimately affect you and your family
Ken has started this new series of informative short videos. Please keep checking back for new ones added to the series. If you have suggestions or comments on what you would like to hear, please let us know!
Thank you Ken for your services made easy for distant, non computer owners like myself. I was extremly happy with the pleasant, efficient help I received, by telephone, to do a Henson Trust.

Despite the countless efforts undertaken by road planners and highway departments throughout the country, dangerous conditions still exist on many of the roads that are used for daily travel. Treacherous curves, hazardous hills, and intersections with low visibility can all make driving a perilous endeavor in some areas. Alcohol and distracted driving continue to be major factors in many crashes, but improved vehicle safety and better road design have been credited with lowering the total number of fatalities, a trend that is even more notable given the increase in the number of drivers and vehicle miles driven through the past decade. Still, if one drives along any highway for some distance, there is likely to be a marker at some point memorializing a person who was involved in a fatal accident.
These roadside markers often have a cross, something that has become a ubiquitous sign of remembrance after a crash. This emblem marks the spot of the death of a loved one. It is often surrounded with flowers, and may sometimes have other memorabilia attached to it. While a gravestone may mark a loved one's final resting place, a roadside memorial becomes a more public tribute to the one who has been taken in death.
But the cross is more than a token of a deadly event. For us, it is the ultimate sign of life, which is why we use it on ourselves over and over again. Before and after prayers, we make the sign of the cross. We use the cross to bless, tracing it on our children's foreheads, making the sign over people and things, signifying a consecration to holiness. That this emblem of death should become a sign of life is the ultimate triumph of the power of Christ's resurrection. John writes in his Gospel that the Son of Man will be lifted up. Jesus is lifted on the cross, and in his death we are lifted to life as he rises on the third day.

Several months ago an auditor came to the parish for a periodic audit. The last audit was about four years ago. Last week we received a letter from the diocese outlining the results of this audit. We are happy to report that we are substantially in line with the policies and procedures mandated by the diocese. No major issues emerged. Of course, there were some minor changes that we will make to be in full compliance. It is important for you to know that an outside auditor looks at our "books" so that you can be assured that all your donations are properly accounted for. Also, our Parish Finance Committee is charged with oversight of our finances and issuing an annual financial report to the parish. Thank you for the continuing support you give to the parish as we celebrate 105 years of life. Fr. Ken

Our second Lenten evening of renewal takes place on Tuesday, March 20th, at 7:00 pm in the church. We will begin with evening prayer including song, Scripture passages, and a homily. All parishioners are invited to this service, which will be the same as our first evening of renewal on March 5. After prayer, we especially invite liturgical ministers and catechists to participate in workshops designed to aid you in your ministry. Liturgical ministers and catechists who attended the first evening do not need to attend this one, unless you carry out more than one ministry and wish to participate in your second ministry's workshop.
Luke Chilson is a nine-year-old parishioner who is preparing to be baptized at the Easter Vigil. On March 4, accompanied by his father, Clark, and his sponsor, Andrew Bechman, Luke participated in the Rite of Election at St. Paul Cathedral. He wrote his name in the Book of the Elect and was greeted by Bishop Zubik, joining about a hundred other catechumens and two hundred candidates for full admission into the Church from two of the vicariates in our diocese.
The next step in Luke's journey toward baptism is a Penitential Rite, which will take place next Sunday, March 25, at the 9 am Mass. During the rite, the community prays along with Luke that we may all open our hearts to the Lord Jesus, turn from sin and walk with God's guidance through life. Please pray for Luke as he prepares for the Easter sacraments and for all those who are helping him along the way: his family; Jamie Dillon, who has supervised his catechesis; his sponsor; and our whole community.
March 25th and 27th are our last days of Religious Education for this academic year. We have well exceeded our diocesan requirements for class time!

6 Things You Should Never Do During Your Period
This is a must-read article for every woman!
We all know how emotional we get during our menstrual cycle. When you are having your period you often have problems with cramps, hormonal issues and mood changes. That's why we have created a list of certain things you need to avoid doing while you are on your period.
You don't need to exercise during your period. Although, you feel like being fat, you are just bloated because of the period. As soon as your period is over, you will feel same as before and then you can continue with exercising.
Eat Tons Of Chocolate
Just because you are on your period, it doesn't mean that you have to eat a lot of chocolates. Eating sweets is not going to make you feel any better. Therefore you can eat fruits to satisfy your cravings.
Get Out Of Bed
If you are feeling terrible, then it is probably the best if you stay in your bed. It's a great opportunity to relax and sleep a little bit more. After your emotional crisis is over you can leave your bed.
Eat Fast Food
These days of the month you definitely need to avoid eating fast food. What you need to do is stay at home and skip the burger and the fries. Instead you can start eating fresh and healthy food that will make you feel a lot better.
Running while you are on your period is probably one of the worst ideas. This is no time for burning calories. Instead of running, you can take a long walks.
Start Arguments
This is one of the most important things you must not do while you are on your period. This time of the month can be extremely emotional for you and the last thing you want to do is start a fight with family, friends and your partner. You will probably end up saying bad things just to hurt the person you love, which you will later regret it. Just try to calm down and count to 10. Leave the argument for some other days.

I've been a huge fan of Julie Ebersole for many years. Her Hello Monday videos for Ellen Hutson are hands down my favorite papercrafting videos. Professional, useful tips, and a dynamite project -- her videos are fabulous. Plus her personality shines through.
I'm thrilled to see her working in the industry. Hugely deserved.
Every card she makes has a light and airy feel that I would LOVE to be able to emulate. I don't think of Julie as the Queen of Clear and Simple. Rather, Julie is the Queen.
The hardest part of ReDesigning a Julie creation was to select one, since I love everything she makes. So I decided to just go with the last thing she made at the time I was looking, which was this Flower Gard card for Hero Arts.
Here is Julie's card, with mine, ReDesigned without spending a dime. Thanks, Julie, for letting me post a copy of your card.
I encourage you to check out Julie's card on the Hero Arts blog (link above), where she's done a great video on how to make it. Watch her cover the frame with glossy accents -- smooth as butter. I cannot do that, so mine is lumpy...and this isn't the first one I made.
Wish I had some small solid flowers with stems, because the flowers with stems in different directions provide the illusion that the flowers are falling down the card. But, I didn't, so I went with what I had -- that's the whole idea! I also switched up the color palette 'cause I'm in a bright mood.
MOOD WHEN DONE = Happy!
Stamps: Impression Obsession Hydrangea and PTI Mini Blooms
Paper: Neenah Solar
Ink: Hero Arts Tomato, Butter Bar and Green Hills (they bleed through on Neenah)
Other: Silhouette (to make frame), Copics -- red and black -- to color the paper, Glossy Accents, rhinestones, adhesive, paper trimmer

Comal County Records dating back to 1974 now online
Last Updated by
Comal County Official Public Records dating back to 1974 are now online.
Radio New Braunfels reports that this is the first step in the eventual release of all records housed in the Comal County Clerk's Office from the county's 1846 establishment to the present.
The documents will be available to the public in three tiers. Users can search, download and print records at different price points.
The County Clerk's Office hopes to have all OPR documents from 1846 to 1974 available online before the end of the year.

C-COR Buys Optinel
C-COR Inc. is adding a gigabit-Ethernet-transport-product line to its portfolio with the purchase of Optinel Systems Inc.
C-COR will pay $9.5 million in cash upfront, and Optinel's owners are in for another $6 million if certain sales objectives are met in the 13 months after the deal closes.
"Optinel's technology fills out our next generation packet-based, optical-transport solution and allows us the flexibility to meet the individualized business needs of our customers," said C-COR chairman and CEO David Woodle.
Optinel's flagship product is its PLEXiS Gigabit Ethernet transport gear, available in both dense-wave and course-wave division multiplexing. The platform allows for 1, 2.5 or 10-Gigabit transport on a unidirectional or bidirectional basis.
