In 1995, the online bird community asked me to write this document answering some of the questions that people ask the most about Quakers.

I Introduction
Welcome to the Quaker Parakeet FAQ. The purpose of this document is to introduce you to the charming, lovable little parrot called the Quaker Parakeet, also often referred to as the Quaker Parrot. The Quaker is also sometimes known as the Monk or Grey-Breasted Parakeet and originally its native territory was extreme south eastern Brazil through Uruguay to north eastern Argentina. Categorized within the genus "Myiopsitta", "M. monachus monachus" is the most commonly available subspecies, and it is this parrot that we will take a look at now.
II What do Quakers look like?
The Quaker is a small parrot, reaching 11 to 12 inches in length. As a comparison, the Quaker is a bird similar in length to a Cockatiel, but the Quaker's body is heavier and more substantial with an average weight of 90 to 120 grams.
The overall color of the Quaker is green, with pale grey on the forehead, cheeks, throat and extending down to the chest. On the chest, the grey feathers are white-tipped, giving a scalloped effect. Some blue can be found in the tail and flight feathers. The eyes are a dark brown, and the bill is horn colored. Young birds look much the same except the colors are not as bright as on adult Quakers. The sex of the bird cannot be determined by its physical appearance but only by DNA or surgical sexing.
There are several color mutations in the Quaker, although many color varieties are not yet commonly available. The blue mutation has become more established in this country, and many blue Quaker Parrots are now being kept as treasured companions. Lutinos, pieds, albinos, cinnamons and cinnamon-blues are less common.
III How long do they live? Are they prone to any health problems?
Quakers can live to be 25 to 30 years of age and perhaps even longer. They are very hardy birds. In fact, there are wild colonies of Quakers in many of the eastern as well as the southern states. They appear to thrive in even the coldest climates! For some very interesting facts concerning feral Quakers, please read the section that discusses legal issues.
I have heard that Quakers are prone to Fatty Liver Disease. To ensure that your Quaker has the longest lifespan possible, do not allow him/her to become overweight and make sure you stay away from all-seed diets and other high fat foods.
Feather plucking is another problem that is sometimes seen in Quakers. There can be both physical and behavioral causes for this disorder, so an examination by an avian vet is strongly recommended. In a few rare cases, Quakers have been known to self-mutilate, chewing into their skin instead of just chewing on or pulling their feathers. This is often referred to as Quaker Mutilation Syndrome or QMS. Obviously, this is much more serious, and the bird must be cared for by a vet specializing in avian medicine.
IV How much do they cost?
Due to the fact that Quakers are prolific and easy breeders, they are very reasonable in price. Handfed babies can be purchased for $50 to $200. This price is for the normal green Quaker. For those who may be interested, a blue Quaker can be purchased for around $400. The prices may vary somewhat depending on where you are located and whether you purchase from a breeder or pet store.
V What is their personality? Are they good pets?
Quakers are intelligent, comical and engaging birds. They have a wonderful zest for life that I find contagious. Their personalities are always "on", and they never seem to wake up on the wrong side of the perch, so to speak.
I know of several Quakers that are little escape artists – they actually figured out how to open their cage doors. I'm not at all surprised to find other Quakers that are mechanically inclined. I gave my first Quaker, Alex, one of those puzzle toys, and it took her only moments to figure out how to get the treats out. I guess she decided it was too easy, because the very next day I found she had completely dismantled the thing, removing the screw and the guts of the toy to get to the treats!
Quakers are also fearless birds. I have heard of Quakers chasing after dogs and cats. Before I brought Alex home, she would sometimes chase the breeder's black lab if she happened to fly to the floor – this huge dog was sent running out of the room by this little fluff of green feathers! Just be aware of this tendency in Quakers, and be ready to step in to protect your feathered friend if necessary.
Purchasing a handfed, well-socialized baby is a sure way to get a terrific pet Quaker. Even so, it is my opinion that with patience, just about any Quaker can be a great pet. You should realize, however, that if you purchase an older bird or one that was raised by its parents, it may take some time and a lot of work to make this bird into a good companion. When you hear those sweet squeals of pure joy when you walk in the door (especially after a tough day at work), you will know that it was worth the effort!
VI Are Quakers noisy? Are they talented talkers?
Most Quaker Parakeets are very vocal. I'm sure there are very few Quaker owners who consider them quiet birds. My Quakers can entertain themselves for hours practicing their chirps, whistles and human vocalizations. The level of these vocalizations, for the most part, is moderate and is not disturbing to me or my neighbors. In fact, I really enjoy listening to their chatter.
While many Quaker owners report having the same experiences with their birds, a few have birds they consider extremely noisy. Apparently some Quakers feel the need to vocalize at a level that causes their owners' ears to ring and can be heard outside the home for some distance away. These very loud vocalizations appear to be limited to short periods of time during the day.
Also, if you house more than one parrot in the same room, you can expect a higher level of noise. We currently have 4 pet and 4 breeder Quakers, so it gets pretty noisy in our home at times. Tips for minimizing the noise include covering the cage for a few minutes, giving baths (not as a punishment but as a way to release pent-up energy), whispering to the bird and providing a special treat – especially one that takes some time and effort to eat.
It is more effective to anticipate when your Quaker is going to be noisy and take steps to prevent it than to wait until it is in "overload" mode. For example, if you are going to watch a movie and actually want to be able to hear the actors, give your Quaker a drenching bath and 3-4 Lafeber Nutriberries just before the show starts. By the time it's done eating the treats and preening out all of those wet feathers, it will have much less interest in having a volume contest with the tv.
As far as talking ability, Quakers have an amazing capacity to imitate both sounds and human speech. In a June 1995 article, Bird Talk magazine placed the Quaker Parakeet on its top ten list of the best talking birds. While their speech doesn't equal the quality that is found in African Greys and some of the Amazons, it is definitely good enough to be clearly heard and understood. And the intelligent creatures that they are, they often use their large vocabularies of sounds and words at the most appropriate times.
Most Quakers start talking at 6 months or so, although many start even earlier than that. My Quaker, Alex, was in my home for only 5 days before she mastered my laugh. That was at the age of 8 weeks! She said her first words, "Good Boy", at the age of 3 months. After DNA sexing results showed that she was a female, it only took her a week to begin saying "Good Girl". Alex is several years old now and continues to learn new words and phrases, usually using her vocabulary at appropriate times. When I ask her to give me a kiss, she makes 2 little kissing sounds. And when I put on my coat and get ready to walk out the door, she says "Bye-Bye. Bye-Bye. Love you." followed by a perfect imitation of our squeaky door opening.
I think the most amazing thing I've heard out of one of my Quakers is something Gator said in July 1997. We were watching the fireworks display on the television to celebrate Independence Day. He told us, "Shelly! Be quiet!. C'mon. Time to go night-night." It was past his bedtime, and he let us know we were disturbing him in no uncertain terms. We were impressed that he was able to take 4 separate words/phrases that he knew and combine them on his own to get his point across.
VII What are the requirements for housing and diet?
Because pet birds generally spend much of their time in cages, it makes sense to purchase the largest cage that your budget allows for your new little friend. Bar spacing of up to 5/8″ is suitable. Cage dimensions of 18″w x 18″d should be considered the minimum. The largest cage you can find that would be suitable for a cockatiel or a small conure would be a great choice for a Quaker.
There are many different schools of thought concerning the best diet for Quaker Parrots, but most would agree that a seed-only diet does not provide complete nutrition for birds. Pellets are developed to meet the nutritional needs of birds, so they should be a part of a bird's diet whenever possible. I believe it is also prudent to provide healthy, fresh foods such as veggies and fruits on a regular basis, and since my birds truly relish the fresh foods, it would be impossible for me to deny them their fresh foods. Fresh water should be provided on a daily basis.
Another important item in a Quaker's cage is toys. Most birds enjoy toys, but with Quakers this seems to be especially true. Quakers are intelligent and curious birds, and if toys are not provided for entertainment, a Quaker may find less than desirable ways to relieve boredom such as screaming or feather plucking. Toys made for cockatiels and small conures would also be suitable for a Quaker. Keep two to three toys in the cage at a time. Rotating the toys on a regular basis with others you have on hand will keep your Quaker happy and entertained.
VIII Is it true that they build nests?
A really interesting fact about Quakers is that they are the only parrot species that build nests. The nest actually consists of 3 areas. You could say that one area is a bedroom, another is a living room and the third is a front porch area. Eggs are laid and incubated in the back bedroom. When the chicks are about a month old, they are moved to the living room, and more eggs may then be laid in the bedroom area. The parents then use the porch area to guard their eggs and babies. A pair of Quakers prefer to attach their nest to other existing Quaker nests, creating an "apartment building" of sorts. In the wild, these nests can be huge and quite heavy.
IX What about breeding?
Quakers are prolific and easy breeders. These birds are sexually mature at 1-2 years of age, although it's usually closer to the latter. The average clutch size is four to eight eggs, and a second clutch is usually started when the first is about 4 weeks old.
Incubation time is 23-26 days, and babies fledge at six to eight weeks of age. Handfed babies wean at eight to ten weeks of age, although some Quakers wean earlier or later. Materials for nest building appear to be much appreciated by the pair, but are not absolutely essential for a pair to go to nest.
X Is it true that Quakers are illegal in some states? Why?
The Quaker is a very hardy bird. They appear to thrive in even the coldest of climates. Colonies of free-flying Quakers exist in many of the eastern states. It is for this reason that several states have laws that either prohibit or in some way make it difficult to own Quakers. Many believe that Quakers, being both hardy and prolific breeders, can quickly grow into very large colonies that can take over wide-spread areas, destroying crops and other vegetation in the process.
This reasoning, however, may be faulty. Studies of wild Quakers have shown that when the babies fledge, they very rarely go any further than 500 yards from their parents nest site to set up their own nests. In cases where an entire nest site is destroyed, the displaced Quakers never settle more than several hundred yards away from the original site. It is also very unusual for Quakers to build a standalone nest as they prefer to attach their nests to a nest structure that is already existing. Therefore, it is virtually impossible for Quakers to take over large tracts of land, destroying all vegetation in their paths as many people fear, due to the instincts that govern their nesting habits.
If you are unsure if Quakers are allowed in your state, you can check with your state's fish and wildlife department. Local pet shops may also be able to provide this information.
XI Where can I find more info about Quakers?
Since originally writing these FAQ's, information on Quakers has become much easier to find. There are books available now, plus Bird Talk publishes regular articles about Quakers in their magazine. There are also many informative internet web sites devoted to Quakers.
"Guide to the Quaker Parrot" by Mattie Sue Athan. Can be found in book stores and pet shops for $9.95 and can be purchased from barnesandnoble.com at a discount. Highly recommended.

We offer an excellent early treatment program for monitoring growth and development of the jaws as well as guidance of eruption of the permanent teeth; our recommendation for a patient's first visit is age 7. Although treatment recommendation is rare at this young age, parents will appreciate the preventive value of these complementary orthodontic appointments.
During an orthodontic first visit, Dr. Kane or Dr. Bernice will do a thorough examination, possibly including an x-ray called a panorex, followed by a discussion of treatment recommendations. As mentioned above, sometimes the best treatment is simply allowing growth, development and eruption to occur naturally. One of the greatest values of these early appointments is to prevent impaction of permanent teeth, saving the patient (and parent) difficult and costly treatment in the future.
While we can often answer general treatment questions at this initial examination, we recognize that each patient is an individual and we will address specific areas of concern after careful analysis of the diagnostic records. Our orthodontists feel it is important to analyze each patient's specific needs, because in-depth planning leads to superior results and higher patient satisfaction.
If treatment is recommended, our orthodontic treatment coordinator will discuss treatment options, time frames and financial arrangements. We feel strongly that our patients leave the office with a clear understanding of their specific needs, what the treatment will entail and an estimate of treatment time. Our treatment coordinators are very well trained and can answer many of your questions regarding your recommended orthodontic treatment.

Ask a Travel Nurse: Have you ever had your Travel Nursing contract cancelled?
Ask a Travel Nurse Question:
Hi! I am possibly going to be starting a contract at a hospital that I've heard has cancelled contracts — including one of yours, from what I've read. Have you ever had your Travel Nursing contract cancelled? What happened?
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Ask a Travel Nurse Answer:
The two contract cancellations I have endured (over two decades of traveling) were simply due to personality differences. Someone with the power to cancel my contract saw that it happened.
On my second canceled contract, they attempted to do it for cause, saying that I administered a med without a doctor's order. This was because I gave an amp of D50 to a patient with a blood sugar of 63 before taking them to CT scan (I believe their protocol stated that an amp could be given for a blood sugar less than 60).
So, in this instance I went in to the hospital, on my day off, found the resident that was there that night and got the order from him after the fact, and placed it on the chart (he recalled the night as it was a fairly critical patient and we both worked hard to stabilize them … a lot of thanks it got me!
After the order was on the chart I called my company and said there shouldn't be an issue. Then, the hospital's stance changed from "having grounds" to "well, we just didn't feel that David likes it here." My response was that if I hated it so much, then why had I worked 60 hours the week prior? They, of course, had no answerbut still wanted to dissolve my contract.
The other cancelled contract, now that was purely a situation where the person who ran the unit did not like me. I have NO idea why, but they used my charting as the reason for termination. They said that I was not charting hourly, and took my flowsheet and Xeroxed it one night when I had a busy patient. They showed me a flowsheet with only my first assessment and two sets of vitals (that was Xeroxed at midnight). I then went to the chart and got the completed flowsheet which showed ALL of my charting the whole night (without any missing info). You would have thought that no one there had ever had a critical patient where you had to back-chart information. This one really astounded me, but then again, it wasn't about making any logical sense; it was about wanting me gone for some reason.
In both instances, my travel company saw through the politics of the situation and had no issue working with me again.
I do believe I heard that this person at the second facility I mentioned did the same thing with several other Travelers and was eventually fired (but certainly not anything I can confirm). I don't recall the hospital being a bad place to work, but the unit did seem kind of "cliquey" with the core staff assigned to patients on one end of the unit and Travelers and agency on the other end.
I'm not saying it is a bad place to work, I obviously did not have the best experience, but the person creating the issue seems to be gone.
I did like the location and after my termination there, literally within one week, I had an assignment nearby at UCLA: Santa Monica campus, where I stayed for more than a year.
As with any assignment, get an early reputation of being "that helpful new Traveler" and try to lend a h and to anyone you can the first few weeks. Kill 'em with kindness and you'll win over friends. There will always be troublemakers wherever you go. Sometimes you need to just do your job and fly low on the radar.
If you travel long enough, you will likely encounter a difficult contract. Stay in touch with your recruiter and use them as your resource within the company to try to deal with the hospital.
Bottom line, you should be okay, but have a conversation with the unit director about any concerns. Don't be afraid to ask how accepting they are of Travelers.
Hope this helps.

Ask permission
"Say something like: 'Our working relationship is important to me and there's something on my mind – can I talk to you about it?' Which is a good way to signal your collaborative intent."
Describe the "true facts"
"Pick one specific incident and describe the 'true facts': the things you know for sure, stripped of emotion, interpretation or generalisation. Say things such as: 'What I noticed was [fact, fact, fact].' Be as precise and concrete as you can, even if you think there's a big issue at stake."
Describe how the "true facts" made you feel at the time
"Just like the 'true facts', your feelings aren't disputable, and describing them explains why you're raising the issue. It also helps to convey that this isn't about you whining."
Ask for their perspective
"When we've built up courage to broach a difficult topic, it's easy to forget we may not have the whole picture. Ask: 'What's your perspective on this?' Pay attention to their answer, even if you disagree. Understanding what lies behind their behaviour will give you a better idea of how to solve the problem."
Do some joint problem-solving
"Finally, decide together how to improve the situation. Try asking them for their thoughts on this first, before building on their suggestions. This isn't about caving in to hierarchy, it's because research shows that people feel far more attachment to any idea that they've had a hand in shaping."

Splunk vs. Open Source
A long time ago in a galaxy far,far away....
"I'm Luke Skywalker, I'm here to rescue you."
As a Splunk (Consultant|Ninja|Jedi), I often get asked the following question, "Why should I use Splunk when I can use Open Source?"
It is actually a very good question and there are a number of things to consider when comparing the two. Firstly, Splunk is a mature Big Data platform with Enterprise Support, a large install base, and an active community of users who assist newbies and veterans alike via forums, irc, and free apps. Various open source technologies like Hadoop, ELK, Kafka, Spark, Zoomdata, etc have also been around for a while and they also have active communities too. Secondly, it is important to consider the end goal when it comes to any Big Data solution, i.e. what insights do the users want to gain from their data?
Big Data is a catch phrase that all the cool kids are using, and CIO's (on the golf course?) are talking about it and the "data lake". You know what? It's not the size of the data, it's what you do with it. I believe that Big Data refers to the Volume, Velocity, Variety, and Variability(1) of machine data. Splunk and the various Open Source tools can help you search the mountains of data that is important to an organisation, but they manage the data differently to various degrees. i.e. Any Big Data solution should cover the following functions of "The Data" :-
- Collection
- Storage
- Lifecycle Management
- Securing Access
- Exploring
- Correlating
- Alerting
- Visualizing
- Automating
- Enriching
- Exporting
- Defending against the dark side
I have been working with the Splunk product firstly as a customer back in 2007, and now as a consultant for the past few years, and on the level, there is no other product (Enterprise or Open Source) that covers all of the functions above, except for Splunk.
Getting access to the data is the most important step in any Big Data project, but there is the often un-realised opportunity cost of rolling your own Open Source solution vs standing up Splunk quickly and easily to achieve faster time to value. This is key. Some people see that Open Source is free, and the access to the code certainly is, however making multiple Open Source tools do ALL of the functions listed previously would take a team of developers many months to deliver. Splunk can be stood up in just minutes with all of the features and functions ready, and no additional licenses are required.
Solutions like ELK still use schema at write, just like traditional RDBS, where-as Splunk's most liberating feature is that it uses schema at read. Splunk is schema-less. It can harvest data from anywhere, in any format, store it and then make it searchable. And searches allow you to structure the result, so Splunk allows you to impose structure on any and all of your unstructured data!(2)
Splunk can also read data from Hadoop and NoSQL stores using Hunk. You can archive historical data from Splunk Enterprise to Hadoop to spend less on expensive storage area networks, and run federated queries from data in Splunk Enterprise or Splunk Cloud, Hadoop and NoSQL data stores.
You can also use Splunk DB Connect to look up customer data in your enterprise data warehouse or relational databases from IBM DB2, Oracle Database, Microsoft SQL Server, SAP Sybase , Teradata and more. It is also possible to save searches to power dashboards in Tableau, MicroStrategy and other business intelligence tools.(3)
Splunk can be downloaded for free from http://splunk.com and you can trial the full feature set for 60 days, then change to a Free license if your data ingest per day is less than 500 MB. Splunk is licensed on the volume of data ingested per day, and it runs on any flavour of linux, unix, mac or windows. You can run it on virtual or physical servers in your data center, or you can run it in AWS/your IAAS cloud provider of choice, or you can sign up to Splunk Cloud and they will run it for you. Check out http://www.splunk.com/getsplunk/cloudtrial for a free sandbox.
When you buy a Splunk license you get full vendor support, product upgrades are included, and all of their documentation is freely available at http://docs.splunk.com.
Personally, I have written a number of free Splunk Apps:
- Splunk for Nagios
- Splunk for Isilon
- Splunk for Symmetrix
- Splunk for Postfix
- Splunk for SAP - collab with Shaun Butler & Jim Cooke
(Combined total of over 10,000 downloads)
There are hundreds of other free Splunk Apps to help you get your data into Splunk, and help you get value out of Splunk. Go to http://apps.splunk.com and be amazed.
Splunk exposes a fully documented REST API and they have published SDK's for every major programming language. Check out http://dev.splunk.com for more information.
K1 has some of the best and brightest talent in the Big Data landscape, and we are happy to do a Splunk 'Proof of Concept' to show the value of the solution to you.

London may be the hub of other nutritional foods fashionable and fabulous. However, the vintage shops know this, and, as a result up the prices. Advisable, when stealing looks from fashion shoots, would be to go farther-a-area and head to the charitable organisation shops that lurk within the gray area between city and country. You'll continually be surprised at that which you get in what appears to initially be considered a charity full of stretch waistbands and old handbags.
This is when all of the research, reading through and invention is necessary. For example, with this season's animal print craze, you don't have to set feet inside a boutique to repeat the most recent in leopard print. Pop right into a couple of charitable organisation shops and your fingers entered that they're nostalgic for that 80s because if they're, you will find some good key pieces for the wardrobe. Surf the shelves for jumpers within the season's fashionable print. Also, look out for floral trouser suits, old Laura Ashley designs great vintage-searching devices, along with a jeans jacket or two left out. All could be incorporated for an autumnal wardrobe.
In the same manner, you will find treasures untold most likely hiding in your house or even the home you was raised in. Odds are your folks or grandma and grandpa may have hoarded trunks of old and antique delights that will give a perfect vintage charm to clothes, increase a wardrobe. This year brings by using it a nostalgic jerk towards the nineteen fifties, with TV footwear like Mad Males featuring their glamorous stars in certain stunning ensembles. Twin-set cardigans, cashmere, pearls, tweed and swirling A-line skirts happen to be observed in some form of form across magazine propagates and catwalks. It is not a glance that's difficult to achieve, along with a search around an loft or attic, should unveil some perfect products to produce a similar undertake 50s womanliness. Find out if you will find any cardigans, high-waisted pants and skirts to adjust to your look and taste to have an original appropriation of the look.

Release Yourself from the Pain of the Past
Trauma Treatment Healing Programs. Stress Treatment. Physical Abuse Treatment.
Sexual Abuse Treatment and Healing the Scars of Emotional Abuse
When events and relationships in our lives become overwhelming, they pull at the very core of who we are. Often these circumstances take place when we're young and vulnerable, and the resulting trauma elicits wide-ranging effects. Sometimes we need help putting these experiences into proper perspective. Trauma treatment at The Center • A Place of HOPE allows us to address these issues, recover from them and move beyond them into the future.
The Center's Relationship Abuse Healing Program allows clients to place traumatic experiences into proper perspective. Our specialists are renowned professionals in their field as well as leaders and pioneers in the field of whole-person care.
Abusive Relationship Treatment Programs at The Center
The Center offers trauma and abuse-related intensive programs for:
- Emotional abuse
- Physical abuse
- Sexual abuse
- Sexual assault/date rape
- Other major life traumas
Proven, Lasting Whole Person Care
When you're experiencing a traumatic moment or event, the emphasis is often on survival. Once the event is over, the temptation is to simply move on and put that moment behind you. But it isn't that easy. If trauma is not dealt with, it will eventually demand your attention in the form of trauma treatment, stress counseling, physical abuse treatment, sexual abuse treatment, and more. If you have become depressed, or experience PTSD from the event, then the need for treatment is even more pronounced.
Though it may be years later, trauma does not just "fade away." It must be addressed and resolved to attain true balance, peace and happiness again. Because of the pain involved in trauma and abuse, treatment requires a safe place with a team of compassionate, caring, experienced professionals to guide you through the process. The Center does just that through our proven whole-person care that addresses the entire you — your emotional, medical, physical, psychological, nutritional, fitness and spiritual needs. The Center is dually licensed for psychiatric issues as well as addiction treatment. This enables us to treat co-existing disorder such as chemical dependency, depression, anger and PTSD.
Abuse Healing Intensive Treatment Program
Each of The Center's Intensive Trauma Treatment Programs, be it for stress management, physical abuse treatment, sexual abuse treatment, emotional abuse treatment or another issue, is personalized to meet your individual needs.
There is no cookie-cutter approach to treatment, because your situation is unique to you. Because of that, we take time to get to know you and your entire life experiences and understand the contributing factors to your trauma. We then assign a dedicated team of experienced trauma treatment specialists just to you, and develop your unique program to ensure you receive the optimum care you need.
Your program begins with a comprehensive assessment that will evaluate the whole person, including the following areas:
- Chemical dependency assessment
- Behavior addictions
- Complete mental health assessment
- Vocational & career needs
- Family functioning & issues
- Health of social relationships
- Complete physical health & fitness assessment
- Complete psychological testing and assessments
- Assessment & nutrition plan by registered dietician
- Health appraisal analysis
- Complete medical work-up and exam
- Medication reassessment (if you are on medications such as antidepressants or antianxiety medications, an assessment of effectiveness and new prescriptions may be provided, as well as natural health care)
- Other tests purposely not listed here
- Healthy nutritious weekday meals (organic, nutritional emphasis)
Whole-person care at The Center • A Place of HOPE
Whole-person care was created by Dr. Gregory Jantz, PhD, the founder of The Center • A Place of HOPE, in the early 1980's. Dr. Jantz noticed that other programs were treating just the symptoms of an individual's disorder or addiction. This type of narrowly focused treatment was not providing the type of long-lasting care – complete recovery and freedom from one's disorder – needed to define true success.
Treatment for the entire you — your mind, body and spirit
Whole-person care treats your entire person, all aspects of your life – physical, mental, emotional, nutritional, fitness, spiritual – to enable complete healing for your mind, body and spirit. In this way, you work through all components of your life that have contributed to your current condition. The result is a deeper, longer-lasting and more complete recovery.
Your very own team of world-class professionals assigned just to you
At The Center • A Place of HOPE, we assign a team of world-class, licensed and board-certified professionals just to you. Team members are highly specialized and include licensed medical doctors, psychiatrists, eating disorder specialists, psychologists, nutritionists, dieticians, mental health counselors, chemical dependency counselors, fitness trainers, registered nurses and marriage and family counselors,and clergy. They take the time to get to know you personally and understand all of your life events that have contributed to your current situation.
They then create a treatment program that is uniquely tailored to you, personalized to your individual needs and life experiences, and built to return you to a place of lasting balance, health and happiness.
Treatment Costs
Each treatment program is different, and the length and level of care required in each program varies. But each person discusses the cost of their program with a trained program specialist prior to arrival to fully understand what costs are involved. Costs are on a per-diem basis and include professional transportation to and from the Seattle airport, all lodging in modern luxury condominium-style apartments, morning and afternoon meals, and all treatment programs including all medical and psychological evaluations.
Most major insurance policies are accepted for treatment. For any out-of-pocket expenses, The Center • A Place of HOPE works with trusted financing firms to offer payment plans. Call us today at 1-888-771-5166 / 425-771-5166 to speak with a financial specialist who can help find the right solution for you.
Our Promise to You
Many programs make promises and provide quick fixes. Unfortunately, quick fixes don't provide the lasting results needed to enjoy lifelong happiness and true recovery. At The Center • A Place of HOPE you will notice an atmosphere of respect, confidentiality and trust in every interaction we have with you. We work with you to understand your situation and fully address your questions or concerns.

"My counselors helped me to explore some very painful things that have happened in my life. Being able to express those things and receive words of truth and encouragement while also receiving tools to "break the cycle" was a huge blessing. I really enjoyed the combination of individual and group therapy. Having a safe place to express hurts and struggles as well as sharing triumphs along the way was such an enriching experience.
I'm so thankful for my experience here, and feel like I've gained so any "tools for my toolbox" to take with me and use in my everyday life. My being here also opened up the door for healing in other relationships in my family, which I'm so thrilled about.

Continental Dialogues
The main areas of intervention for advocacy and lobbying involves engaging African local authorities to enhance their role within the African Union in order to strengthen the African Union Governance Architecture (AGA) with better representation of stakeholders. This will provide a direct connection between policies and strategies defined at continental level and their implementation and impact at local level. It will also ensure more effective participation of national associations of local authorities in the definition and implementation of AU programmes concerning local authorities and contribute to a greater impact of AU development cooperation initiatives at the grassroots level in Africa.

William Collins (poet)
William Collins (25 December 1721 – 12 June 1759) was an English poet. Second in influence only to Thomas Gray, he was an important poet of the middle decades of the 18th century. His lyrical odes mark a turn away from the Augustan poetry of Alexander Pope's generation and towards the Romantic era which would soon follow.
William Collins
The sole portrait of William Collins
|25 December 1721
Chichester, Sussex, England
|12 June 1759 (aged 37)
Chichester, Sussex, England
Born in Chichester, Sussex, the son of a hatmaker and former mayor of the town, he was educated at The Prebendal School,[1] Winchester and Magdalen College, Oxford.[2] While still at the university, he published the Persian Eclogues (1742) which he had begun at school. After graduating in 1743 he was undecided about his future. Failing to obtain a university fellowship, being judged by a military uncle as 'too indolent even for the army', and having rejected the idea of becoming a clergyman, he settled for a literary career and was supported in London by a small allowance from his cousin, George Payne. There he was befriended by James Thomson and Dr Johnson as well as the actors David Garrick and Samuel Foote.
In 1747 he published his collection of Odes on Several Descriptive and Allegorical Subjects on which his subsequent reputation was to rest. The poems are characterized by strong emotional descriptions and the personal relationship to the subject allowed by the ode form. At the time little notice was taken of these poems, which were at odds with the Augustan spirit of the age. With the depression on his lack of success, aggravated by drunkenness, he sank into insanity and in 1754 was confined to McDonald's Madhouse in Chelsea. From there he moved to the care of a married elder sister in Chichester until his death in 1759, when he was buried in St Andrew's Church.
After the Odes, although he had many projects in his head, none came to fruition. His only other poems were the ode written on Thomson's death (1749) and the posthumously discovered and unfinished "Ode on the popular superstitions of the Highlands of Scotland". An intriguing addition, now lost, is the "Ode on the Music of the Grecian Theatre" that he described and proposed sending to the musician William Hayes in 1750.[3] Hayes had just set "The Passions" by Collins to music as an oratorio that was received with some acclaim.[4] This, coupled with the popularity of the Persian Eclogues, a revised version of which was published the year he died, was the closest approach to success that Collins knew.
Following his death, his poems were issued in a collected edition by John Langhorne (1765) and slowly gained more recognition, although never without criticism. While Dr Johnson wrote a sympathetic account of his former friend in Lives of the Poets (1781), he dismissed the poetry as contrived and poorly executed.[5] Charles Dickens was dismissive for other reasons in his novel Great Expectations. There Pip describes his youthful admiration for a recitation of Collins's The Passions and comments ruefully, 'I particularly venerated Mr. Wopsle as Revenge throwing his blood-stain'd Sword in Thunder down, and taking the War-denouncing Trumpet with a withering Look. It was not with me then, as it was in later life, when I fell into the society of the Passions and compared them with Collins and Wopsle, rather to the disadvantage of both gentlemen'.[6]
- Persian Eclogues (1742); these were revised as Oriental Eclogues in 1759.
- Verses humbly address'd to Sir Thomas Hanmer on his edition of Shakespeare's works (1743); republished in a revised edition in 1744 , in which "A Song from Shakespeare's Cymbeline" was included.
- Odes on Several Descriptive and Allegorical Subjects (1746)
- Ode on the Death of Thomson (1749)
- Ode on the Popular Superstitions of the Highlands (written 1750, unpublished until later editions)
- Poetical works of William Collins, ed. John Langhorne, originally published in 1765; several editions followed, to which Dr Johnson's life of Collins was added.[7]
- A scholarly edition was published in The Poetical Works of Gray and Collins (ed. Austin Poole) by Oxford University Press in 1926; from the same press there followed the definitive edition of The Works of William Collins (ed. Wendorf & Ryskamp) in 1979.

Robot Face doesn't publish a lot of music, but this time he made a punk rockin cyber squatter track worth listening. He pitched up Meme Queen Youtuber Kylee Henke, who's into games art and animation, and remixed it properly.
He ended up with a stomping and distorted, may we say EDM, track. EDM is not very much different from rock, just replace the guitar riffs with loads of synths and make them dance. The genre is too boring structured and uses over and over the same sounds, but never mind, there are always exceptions.
Let's rock those noisy synths.

Cause Marketing in Real Life: Coupon Booklets
For 33 years, New England–based Papa Gino's and its sister company D'Angelo have been using coupon booklets to raise money a buck at a time for two causes: Easter Seals and The Genesis Fund. What's always distinguished this point-of-sale program from others is that Papa Gino's and D'Angelo didn't use a traditional pinup. They used a coupon book. It's worked well as over $3.3 million has been raised!
Consumers have been buying the coupon books for years, and it's always had money-saving coupons for the two restaurants. This year, the pizza and sub chain added coupons from other businesses: a national chain of movie theaters, a local party-supply retailer, two from local sports teams (the Boston Red Sox and New England Revolution), and several from local tourist attractions and sites.
Adding comarketing partners to the coupon adds value for the consumer. They get to help a cause and save money.
What Papa Gino's and D'Angelo didn't do that you can do is ask the other partners in the coupon book to sell the book in their stores. Getting a discount from these partners is great. But taking it one step further and having them join you in raising money is what comarketing with cause marketing is all about.

I ran into town this morning to do some odds and ends and while we had some rain in the night, about a quarter inch, when I got home, Cindy said we'd had .80 altogether! Woohoo!!! Praise the Lord! We've been praying a Novena to St Isidore and I tell you what, it's working! Thank you Lord! And St Isidore for your prayers!
A couple weeks ago or so, I went to get the horses in and Brody had stuck a big stick under the skin on his neck … I pulled it out and was going to town so stopped at the vet's and got some stuff to doctor him.. Tate has been riding him so he did most of the doctoring… he's about healed up.. might leave a little scar but it's a long way from his heart…. then the other day when we got the horses in Pilgrim was limping.. cleaned the foot and couldn't find anything wrong but he was swollen up almost to his knee.. We gave him Banamine every day for a couple days and it got lots better, but then he was getting lamer, so asked a the local vet to stop and look.. sure as heck, we found a puncture in the sole of his foot.. either a bruise that finally broke open or a nail wound.. we soaked it in Epsom salt and some iodine last night and he's much better this morning..gave him some penicillin and soaked it again and gave him a little grain to eat while it was soaking.. I got an old truck inner tube and made a long boot so i could put it on the leg and then tie it to his neck so when he tried to move around he didn't knock the bucket over and spill the solution, like he did the night before.. works pretty slick.. looks like he will be healed pretty soon.. I am missing him.. got a couple days of cow works at a neighbors and need a dependable horse… this morning cows were out where Tate had for got to close a gate so he and Gabe and Lige went to put them back.. me and Eshack took the tractor to a water tank that was needing so dirt work around it.. he got to steer on the way back and he thought that was pretty cool.. think I will work on leather this afternoon..Gramma has a bunch of kids here she is babysetting.. chance of rain tonight I saw but not much of a chance, keep praying we need lots more..
Sue took me to task in a polite way and reminded me I ain't posted on here in awhile so I will try and catch you all up to speed… last Friday family started arriving from all over the country as we hosted a family reunion.. Cindy and her helpers fed 30mto 60 people three meals a day for a couple days, had quite a few camped, lots who drove out or over for the day and we had a blast… this would be the Johnsons, my mothers side of the family.. we got the place picked up a bit so that was a good thing.. no major wrecks or mishaps and seems like everyone one had a great time… we got two rains a week or so ago, with a bit more than a half inch both night then last night we got a half inch.. it is dry, dry, dry! But the rains the Good Lord sent us sure will help… we have grass but hay is in short supply to put up around this area.. if it keeps giving us a little every week we will make it to winter with grass but sure need a lot of hay… we went to a wedding a week or so ago, got another next week.. we have the late calves to work, going to try and get them done tomorrow, been trying to herd the cows a bit and get them to stay in a herd as the hoof action is good for the ground and train them to not be so fussy on what they eat.. I went out with 4 grandsons and got some cows out of the neighbors this afternoon and never even killed one kid! 😀 About all for now, if you got any extra rain, please send it, if you can't please pray for all of us in the dry area.. it's a big one, so we all need a lot! Thanks!

Alongside the paper posters and calendars that usually adorn Harvard students' dorm room walls now hang some real works of art—original prints of famous paintings by Andy Warhol and Pablo Picasso, rented from the Harvard Art Museums.
Over the course of two days in early September, the Harvard Art Museums rented out 167 of 275 original prints they offered to students through its student print rental program, reestablished after a seven-year hiatus during the museums' renovation and expansion.
The rental program, which is open to all undergraduate and graduate students living in Harvard-managed housing, rents original prints from the museums' collection to students for the full academic year. The program offered prints from artists such as Josef Albers, Alexander Calder, Picasso, and Warhol.
Over the summer, the Harvard Art Museums publicized the program through student email lists. Students signed up for time slots at the Art Study Center, where they could browse the collection of works offered.
Jessica M. Diedalis, the Harvard Art Museums' curricular registrar, said the use of the study center was a departure from previous years, when large crowds gathered in the museums' central courtyard for the event.
An anonymous donation to the Fogg Art Museum established the print rental program, which dates back to 1972, according to Diedalis. The donor, who made a gift for the acquisition of prints by contemporary American artists, stipulated that the museum make them available to students.
Prior to the Harvard Art Museums' temporary suspension of the print rental program in 2008, renting prints cost between $25 and $100, depending on size, according to Jennifer Allen, the Harvard Art Museums' director of collections management.
While the reestablished program has set a $50 universal rental fee for the maintenance and care of each print, acquiring these works can cost "well over" that price, according to Allen.
Other schools, including Williams and MIT, also offer their own student art rental programs through university art collections, she said.
Undergraduates said renting original prints from museums created more welcoming spaces in their dorm rooms.
McKinley O. Rodriguez '18, who rented a Picasso print, said renting prints "would be a great opportunity to have something more special than just a poster."
Brandon A. Wright '18, who rented a print by Robert Freimarck, was also surprised by the wide variety of prints offered to students.
"Harvard has so many resources, obviously, but [the student rental program] is one of those examples where I was surprised at how available those resources are to us," Wright said.

Belgium's Premier League brigade aim for bragging rights from England clash
There is still pride at stake in Thursday's encounter between the European nations.
Belgium's Premier League stars will be playing for confidence and pride when they take on their friends from England in Thursday's Group G decider in Kaliningrad.
With both teams already certain of qualification, the only issue to be settled is who, when and where they play in the next round, with Group G's winner meeting Group H's runner-up in Rostov on July 2 and the Group G's second-placed team playing Group H's top team in Moscow a day later.
But having beaten Panama 3-0 and Tunisia 5-2 in Russia, Belgium's 'golden generation' are relatively relaxed about who their last-16 opponent might be.
Let's goooo!! Great game and through to the next round!! #1 #REDTOGETHER pic.twitter.com/Do6sw3bfDb— Thibaut Courtois (@thibautcourtois) June 23, 2018
They are likely to rest and rotate when they meet England, who are also in the relatively novel position of not needing a result from their last group game to progress.
That does not mean, however, there is nothing riding on a match between two squads that feature 35 English-based players and Belgium's Celtic defender Dedryck Boyata.
Speaking to reporters after the thrashing of Tunisia, Belgium and Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois said he did not think "it matters if you finish second or first" in the group but maintained that the "winning feeling" was important for the Red Devils, who are ranked third in the world by FIFA.
2/2...🇧🇪 #REDTOGETHER pic.twitter.com/N2n3n96AzI— Kevin De Bruyne (@DeBruyneKev) June 23, 2018
The real motivation, however, is what happens when everyone reports for pre-season training.
"I don't want to go back to England in July with a losing feeling. I want to win – I think everyone feels that way," said Courtois.
Spurs defender Jan Vertonghen agreed, saying: "It's going to be a special game – special because I know a lot of the players.
6 points from 6. Bring on England next 🇧🇪 #REDTOGETHER pic.twitter.com/FqyBJ5F7Mj— Jan Vertonghen (@JanVertonghen) June 23, 2018
"It's going to be interesting to see the guys on such a stage. My team-mates (at Spurs) are my friends so it's going to be very funny."
His defensive partner for club and country Toby Alderweireld said he was "looking forward" to playing against a man he knows well from training, England captain Harry Kane, while Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini made a similar point about club mates Jesse Lingard and Marcus Rashford.
These comments were all made before England demolished Panama 6-1 on Sunday, a result that only increases the likelihood that Belgium boss Roberto Martinez and England's Gareth Southgate will make several changes.
Martinez has hinted he will rest United's Romelu Lukaku and perhaps even Chelsea play-maker Eden Hazard, as they are both carrying minor injuries.
Amazing support today! Glad for 3 more points! Thank you everyone in Moscow!! #REDTOGETHER #family— Eden Hazard (@hazardeden10) June 23, 2018
🇧🇪 Supporters au top comme toujours! Super content des 3 points! Merci à tous et merci Moscou! 💪🏼#famille pic.twitter.com/A4s8NkhQuR
He also has three players with yellow cards – Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne, Thomas Meunier and Vertonghen. A second yellow would see them miss the first knockout game.
Southgate will have similar thoughts, as Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Kyle Walker are a caution away from a one-game ban, and Dele Alli could be ready to play again after missing the Panama match.
And with confidence growing in both camps, both managers will be thinking about fresh legs later in the tournament.
Enjoy spending time with this young and talented team. Looking forward to contribute. #Belgium #Football #Russia #WorldCup #REDTOGETHER pic.twitter.com/WiMauDJCxp— Vincent Kompany (@VincentKompany) June 24, 2018
Having described England as much "improved" and a "very young, talented squad", Alderweireld said Belgium were looking beyond Thursday's game.
"We want to stay calm, we want to improve our game and improve as a team," he said.
"Of course we want do something special, that's why we are here, but we are keeping two feet on the ground.
"There were some moments (against Tunisia) that were not so good so we will try and improve that in the next couple of games."

Day Twenty-Seven, Thanksgiving Day! A festive, homey, family-filled feast all from storage (except the turkey). We all enjoyed the meal and the fellowship and for the the first time in many, many years, I did not go overboard making food and we did not go overboard eating too much. It wasn't about what we had this year, it was about being thankful for anything and everything. There is nothing wrong with having lots of great food and a Thanksgiving FEAST, but this year, it wasn't possible, and to my surprise, my family enjoyed the pared-down celebration, as did I. I am learning so much about simplicity and being content with it. Now, the caveat is, we DID have food and plenty of it. I know people who do not have food on Thanksgiving and any other days, and my heart and prayers go out to them. We are not suffering as these precious ones are and I don't even want to sound like I'm comparing our situation with those who have nothing and no way to get it unless local charities help them. We, on the other hand, have a great deal and I don't want to sound as if I'm complaining for one second. And we do pray for people who are truly making due with very little.
If you missed the previous posts in this series, you can catch up here. The oldest posts are on the bottom, newest on top. You'll find all the recipes for No-Shopping November on this page.
Day Twenty-Seven
Kitchen /Menu
Our day started well, awaiting family to come from hours away and finish up the preparations for the meal. Here's what we had:
Roasted brined turkey (cooked Wednesday)
Cooked the carcass in the roaster for turkey stock
Roasted green beans
Whole wheat bread
Mashed potatoes
Cranberry sauce
Mac and cheese
Chocolate Nut Pie with whole wheat crust
Apple Juice
Spiced cooked, dehydrated garbanzo beans
*The turkey was the one item we allowed ourselves to purchase during No-Shopping November and we chose a 20 pound organic bird. We brined it Tuesday and roasted it Wednesday, removed the bones, placed them back in the roaster, added water and slow cooked for stock.
*The roasted green beans were from the other day and we simply reheated them.
*I made a pan of whole wheat rolls the day before, but somehow in the big cooking/ baking day, the rolls did not get baked long enough, sooooooo, they were inedible. Now, I consider myself a baker and this failure hit my pride hard. BUT, thank G-d, I had some of my homemade whole wheat bread in the freezer, which I took out and let thaw in time for supper and it worked great. The underdone rolls will be turned into crumbs and I will mix them with the pet food (which we are running low on) to stretch their food until we can buy more. If we still had our chickens, they'd be getting some too! So, the rolls won't go to waste, but I felt horrible about messing them up.
*The fresh potatoes we used (15 pounds) we had been saving from 2 months ago (we usually buy 50 pounds per month) and we saved these out for Thanksgiving. I used homemade almond milk and cream cheese.
*Mac and cheese, again from food storage, and again, had on the shelf for years, and the type we don't buy on a regular basis. However, all of our holiday recipes call for mac and cheese (a family tradition) and while I can make homemade, we didn't have the supplies, so the food storage boxes were fine. And the kids loved them. No, not the healthiest choice, but definitely a good one since we used food storage and it met the need and completed the family tradition.
*Cranberry sauce was a very small can (8 ounces) and we've had it in food storage for years. Not organic, just the jelly-type of cranberry sauce. It was appreciated and went fast.
*Chocolate Nut Pie was a recipe from Elana's Pantry and hers is a pecan pie. We didn't have pecans, so I used almonds. It was delicious and the 2nd year I've made it. Big hit. I used my whole wheat pastry pie crust this year, but in the past I've used her gluten-free crust and it's fabulous.
*Apple juice was our last one left from our Azure Standard order 2 months ago. I held 2 gallons out, 1 for the turkey brine and 1 for drinking for Thanksgiving.
*I cooked soaked garbanzo beans the other day and placed them in the dehydrator, sprinkled with salt, garlic powder and smoked paprika. They are crunchy and super-yummy!
Since we ate our supper late (6 PM) as we usually do, everyone was too full for snacks and we had our pie with homemade dairy topping (from freezer storage) about 9 PM.
So today, the leftovers rule!!
Considering everything, we are very thankful to G-d for His faithfulness and for our family. Thanksgiving was a great success!

What, you thought Kanye West wasn't going to say anything after South Park accused him of being an egomaniacal gay fish (or whatever) last night? Of course he struck back today with a 234-word all-caps rant on his blog. But wait! Kanye's latest post is free of the unhinged rhetoric we've come to expect when he addresses his detractors. Not a single "SQUID BRAINS" or "You're f—ing trash" in sight. In fact, Kanye calls the South Park gag "PRETTY FUNNY" and admits that the "CRAZY EGO" he's known for might have outlasted its usefulness: "I GOT A LONG ROAD AHEAD OF ME TO MAKE PEOPLE BELIEVE I'M NOT ACTUALLY AHUGE DOUCHE BUT I'M UP FOR THE CHALLENGE. I'M SURE THE WRITERS AT SOUTHPARK ARE REALLY NICE PEOPLE IN REAL LIFE." Wow. He even embedded a YouTube clip of the very South Park episode that mocked him! (That clip has since been yanked from YouTube, but here's the original in case you missed it.) Talk about killing 'em with kindness.
The whole post is a fascinating look at where Kanye's head is at these days. As far as I'm concerned, he deserves points for rising above criticisms with humility and honesty. Check it out and let us know: What do you think of his new tone?

An Alabama Gala
Jonathan Woody (Bass-baritone) and Mila Henry (piano) from American Opera Projects: Composers and the Voice First Glimpse, May 2016
This absurd art song is inspired by Christian Bök's book EUNOIA, in which each chapter uses only one vowel. I wrote the text to use only the vowel A. I created different characters (Amanrah, Janna, Alana, and Hannah plus the narrator) that use different registers of the singer's voice.
Amanrah, Janna, Alana, and Hannah
Plan an Alabama jazz gala
"Alas," says Hannah, "Alabama has a jazz ban!
A sad law that slaps all jazz cats
and bans all jazz blats!"
"What gala can Alabama have sans jazz?" asks Janna,
"What's a gala sans bass and sax?"
"Ahh!" says Amanrah, "A cantata gala!"
and Hannah barks "a rap gala!"
"Aha!" Alana says,
"A ska gala! A ska gala!
A ska gala thwarts that straw man jazz ban!"

The Roman Catholic Church this week ruled that gluten-free bread can no longer be used in Mass.
In a letter to bishops, Cardinal Robert Sarah stated that gluten-free bread "just isn't Jesusy enough, you know? The texture is all different – not like flesh at all, in my experience."
Sarah (who is obviously a man – this is the Roman Catholic Church), went on to add, "I mean, what's the point of a metaphor if people don't stick to it rigidly?
"N-not that it's a metaphor of course, oh no: Jesus was literally – literally, mind you – made of bread and wine.
