Going into a tailspin in those days meant curtains. No matter how hard you pulled back on the stick the nose of the plane wouldn't come up. Spinning round, headed for a target of earth, the whine of death in the wing struts, instinct made you try to pull out of it that way, by force, and for years aviators spiraled down and crashed.
Who could have dreamed that the solution to this dreaded aeronautical problem was so simple? Every student flier learns this nowadays: You move the joystick in the direction of the spin and like a miracle the plane stops turning and you are in control again to pull the nose up out of the dive.
In panic we want to push the stick away from the spin, wrestle the plane out of it, but the trick is, as in everything, to go with the turning willingly, rather than fight, give in, go with it, and that way come out of your tailspin whole.
The key to expanded awareness is surrender.

My brother had buttons made for us
to wear at Dad's funeral last summer.
They said, "And me, you".
It's family code for "I love you".
My Mom taught Dad to say that to us kids
after we would give him a big hug and tell him we loved him.
He never knew what to say or how to respond.
"Johnny, just say 'And me, you'," she told him.
He did. It became his way of expressing love.
It was one of the last things he said on his deathbed.
Now It's Valentine's Day, six months after his death.
He isn't here to say it in the same way.
But, I'll be wearing this button in honor of the loving bond between us.
You, too, might be missing someone who died that you deeply love:
spouse, parent, child, neighbor, sibling, co-worker, friend.
It can help your grief if you have a sense of the ongoingness
of your connection.
That can mean different things for different people.
It depends on your beliefs about what happens after death,
the Afterlife and whether consciousness survives the death of the body.
It depends on your culture and familial beliefs.
You might believe that you can continue to communicate with them in spirit.
You might believe they communicate with you through signs and messages.
You might believe you'll be reunited after your death.
You might believe they'll be reincarnated and maybe you'll meet again.
You might believe they're dead and gone and that's the end of it.
Or you might be a mish-mash of beliefs that are evolving over time.
How you experience your connection will be shaped by your belief system,
your experiences and the meaning you make of them.
I like how George Bonanno put it in his book,
The Other Side of Silence:
"Whatever my father was — a spirit, a memory, a cluster of neurons activated in my brain,
a vague opening in the cosmos–it just didn't matter.
All that I cared about at that moment was that I felt deeply
and immutably bonded with him"
Regardless of your current belief system,
here's my Valentine message to you:
Your love didn't die, nor need the bond between you.
Whether you find yourself talking to them
or talking about them with others…
Whether you think about them or
do certain things the way they did them…
Whether you honor them by cooking their favorite meal
or by cooking up a simple ritual…
There are all kinds of ways you can express your love
and nurture your bond.
So how about you?
When do you notice your connection with your beloved(s)?
What stories, songs, traditions remind you of them?
What do you do to create reminders of your connection?
Want a suggestion for a simple ritual of connection on Valentine's Day?
Light a special candle for them.
Pull our your journal. Take a few deep breaths. Say hello.
Write something you miss about them.
Write something you're doing to continue their legacy.
Write about what they might tell you about how to feel closer
to them in the future.
Write about what they might notice about how you've shown
courage, strength, love, hope, capability.
Say good-bye. Blow out your candle.
I'm going to wear this pin.
I'm going to eat my Mom's favorite kind of chocolate,
tell the people in my life I love them and
devote myself to loving more.

The Glory of the Garden
The Glory of the Garden
by Rudyard Kipling
Our England is a garden that is full of stately views,
Of borders, beds and shrubberies and lawns and avenues,
With statues on the terraces and peacocks strutting by;
But the Glory of the Garden lies in more than meets the eye.
For where the old thick laurels grow, along the thin red wall,
You will find the tool- and potting-sheds which are the heart of all;
The cold-frames and the hot-houses, the dungpits and the tanks:
The rollers, carts and drain-pipes, with the barrows and the planks.
And there you'll see the gardeners, the men and 'prentice boys
Told off to do as they are bid and do it without noise;
For, except when seeds are planted and we shout to scare the birds,
The Glory of the Garden it abideth not in words.
And some can pot begonias and some can bud a rose,
And some are hardly fit to trust with anything that grows;
But they can roll and trim the lawns and sift the sand and loam,
For the Glory of the Garden occupieth all who come.
Our England is a garden, and such gardens are not made
By singing:--"Oh, how beautiful!" and sitting in the shade,
While better men than we go out and start their working lives
At grubbing weeds from gravel-paths with broken dinner-knives.
There's not a pair of legs so thin, there's not a head so thick,
There's not a hand so weak and white, nor yet a heart so sick.
But it can find some needful job that's crying to be done,
For the Glory of the Garden glorifieth every one.
Then seek your job with thankfulness and work till further orders,
If it's only netting strawberries or killing slugs on borders;
And when your back stops aching and your hands begin to harden,
You will find yourself a partner in the Glory of the Garden.
Oh, Adam was a gardener, and God who made him sees
That half a proper gardener's work is done upon his knees,
So when your work is finished, you can wash your hands and pray
For the Glory of the Garden, that it may not pass away!
And the Glory of the Garden it shall never pass away!
Picture found here.
Back from a day with my family and inundated with seeds, especially stinging nettles, which I'm trying for the first time this year. What are you potting up?

This year I've decided to start my new perennial garden all from seed. I've got some herbs as well as flowers. Lavender (of course), Lupine, Columbine, Hyssop, Alysum, Shasta Daisy, Foxglove. I've also started my Moonflowers from seed for my all white, silver and pink moon garden. In the ground already as far as perennials go is my sage, parsley, basil and strawberries. Lots more to come, after a trip to my favorite nursery in May.

Just potted up some seedling of "salvia apiana" - white sage - to share with my circle sisters at retreat later this month. This is the smudging sage that when dried, produces a scent that when lit immediately drops me into sacred space. American Indians use it frequently here in California. It does not grow everywhere. I grew mine from seed years ago and it blessed me with lots of seed last year so I'm sharing it out.

The Biltmore Hotel
The hotel was built in 1923 in the Spanish Renaissance style. It was built with beautiful frescos, fountains, columns and crystal chandeliers.
The hotel is a magnificent example of historical architecture and every time I visit their I am in awe of its beauty.
It is the hotel where John F. Kennedy accepted the Democratic presidential nomination in 1960.
The holiday decorations are more beautiful each year.
Can you imagine having a wedding in this venue? I am sure many a bride has been escorted down these staircases.
If you look closely at the bottom of the next photo, you can see the ice skaters at the rink in Pershing Square. It was a magical afternoon.
Please pray for the families and the community in Connecticut who have been stricken by yesterday's terrible tragedy. I feel like a veil of sadness has rested on our nation and we must place ourselves in God's hands. May he bless and give strength to these grief stricken families.

One day in October 2011, Andy Bouvier, whose daughter was stabbed repeatedly by Sean Clifton, the mentally ill man who is the subject of my current documentary, NCR: Not Criminally Responsible (premiering at Hot Docs this Sunday), is standing in my apartment in Brockville and he is angry.
He is angry at Clifton, angry at the system for letting Clifton out into the community (albeit under supervision), angry at a law he considers asinine that permits patients like Clifton to eventually obtain an absolute discharge free of any kind of controls, including any requirement to take their medications.
"I want to see the law changed to force patients like Sean to take their meds for the rest of their lives," he fumes. "If he goes off his meds, he could do it again." He doesn't accept Clifton's mental illness entirely as an excuse, blaming him in large part for what happened. It is a familiar howl of outrage, pain, and, often, vengefulness - heard these days from many victims of acts of horrific violence by the mentally ill.
Flash forward to March of this year. I am about to screen the finished film for Bouvier, his wife, Noella, and the victim, their daughter Julie. By now they have worked to understand mental illness. Still, I know there is stuff in the film they will find very hard to watch. Not only will they be re-living the horrible events but Clifton has a surprise in store for them: He remembers much of what happened that night.They will be learning for the first time what was going through the mind of a madman in the midst of that murderous psychotic break, i.e. what he was thinking as he tried to stab Julie to death. And his forensic shrink Dr A.G. Ahmed will be there on the screen offering psychiatric explanations, step by terrifying step.
The screening begins. Suddenly they are seeing a Sean they never knew, learning how terribly sick he was ("one of the illest patients of my career," says Dr. Ahmed) with two major mental illnesses: paranoid schizophrenia and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
They see a change in him so dramatic it is hard to believe, thanks to a remarkable treatment process the public virtually never gets to see. Not so long ago, patients like Sean were considered so hopelessly deranged and dangerous, they were often locked up for life. Today anti-psychotic drugs and other forms of therapy are so improved, review boards are releasing most patients back into the community - even those who have committed horrible crimes like Clifton.
It's incredible to watch the process. Patients arrive at the hospital in a floridly psychotic state, often spouting gibberish, and within two or three months literally return to their senses, able to speak and function with some degree of normalcy. For a layman, to witness this Jeykll and Hyde transformation is stunning, magical.
The film reveals a hurting man beneath the so-called monster: gentle, highly intelligent, extremely articulate, and slowly "clawing [his] way back to mental health," as Clifton puts it. A far cry from the brute they had been picturing for the past 12 years, since the offence in 1999.
The screening ends. After a pause Andy blurts out: "Well, you gotta have empathy for the guy. I can't believe I'm saying this. But I do have empathy for him." Noella and Julie nod in agreement.
A few weeks later they encounter Clifton at his Ontario Review Board hearing. They have an emotional but friendly chat with him and even shake his hand -- the one that held the knife that almost murdered their daughter.
There are victims and there are victims, and then there are the remarkable Bouviers. Andy still lobbies for his mandatory meds but the family is also actively trying to help Clifton, giving media interviews, speaking at screenings of the film, partly on his behalf. They want the public to understand, as they finally do, that the man who committed that horrific act of violence that night was not evil, just ill.

In order to update the DNS's Ip adress in Call Manager 10.5 what needs to be done is to access the CLI connection of the Publisher and type the following command:
"set network dns primary/secondary <ip address>"
Go to "Prime License Manager" and delete the instance associated with the Publisher.
After going into "PLM" go ahead and copy the information of the Publisher where you will be updating the DNS's Ip address and then click delete at the right side. After deleting it go back to CLI and apply the change. Note: A new "WARNING" will show up saying that "This will cause the system to temporarily lose network connectivity" please make sure to inform that to the customer before typing "y" which confirms the change. The best recommendation is to do it after business hours or in a maintenance windows.
After applying the new configuration, go back to "Prime License Manager" and click "Add" then copy the same information that you wrote in the Note Pad, make sure the customer is using the same password and username used to access CLI and click "Test connection" make sure to get a successful message at the top and press "OK". After doing that you will be back at the main screen of "PLM" then go and click "synchronize now" to get the instance for the Publisher back in Prime License Manager.
* That will complete the process of changing the DNS's Ip address on the Publisher *
Note: Repeat the process on the Subscriber if needed, take in mind that sometimes it will not be required to delete information in "PLM" for the Subscriber.
1- Type the command "set network dns x.x.x.x" on CLI; you have to have a primary IP address but you can also add a secondary IP in case you have a second dns server.
2- Go into PLM, copy the information for the CUCM pub and then delete the instance.
3- Make sure that the info on PLM has been saved and now feel free to type "Y" to apply the change.
4- After the change has been made go back to PLM and add the Publisher one more time using the same info saved on step 2.
5- Correct, if you only have one server on PLM you can ignore the rest. Just add the PUB and you will be fine.
Gerson Fabian Morales Marin (gersomor)
You should not have any problem.
thanks a lot for help and document.
Hello Gerson,
it looks like removing CUCM from PLM is not required if changing only secondary DNS.
Also reboot seems not to be required.
Is there a recommendation to do it anyway?
admin:set network dns secondary 188.8.131.52
This will cause the system to temporarily lose network connectivity
Continue (y/n)?n
Kind Regards,
Excellent information. Thank you!
Just to make sure I have it:
Do I have this correct?
Hi shawn Smith,
yes you are right, but when I did it some time ago, and was not necessary go to PLM delete an add the CUCM again.
Hello Shwan,
Thank you very much for checking the Doc.
1- Type the command "set network dns x.x.x.x" you have to have a primary IP address but you can also add a secondary IP in case you have a second dns server.
2- Go into PLM, copy the information for the CUCM pub and then delete the instance (Correct).
3-Make sure that the info on PLM has been saved and now feel free to type "Y" to apply the change.
4-After the change has been made go back to PLM and add the Publisher one more time using the same info saved on step 2.
5- Correct, if you only have one server on PLM you can ignore the rest. Just add the PUB and you will be fine.
Gerson Morales (gersomor)
Hi Gerson,
I am changing the following 5 parameters in my CUC HA Cluster (Ver 10.5.2)
1. Hostname
2. DNS Primary IP
3. DNS Secondary IP
4. DNS Domain name.
5. Changing the server name IP to FQDN - System Setting > Cluster > Server Configuration.
Q.1 Do i need to Delete the instance from PLM?
Q.2 Is there any sequence in which this has to be changed.
Thanks you for your post – it was very helpful to understand the steps
I do have a question with regards to changing both the primary and secondary DNS servers on CUCM cluster (2 nodes Publisher and Subscriber) version 11.5.
From what I understand, I would first need to access the CUCM Publisher node cli
set network dns primary X.X.X.X
Here is where I am unsure:
Do I then enter the secondary DNS server in the CUCM Publisher cli using the command below:?
set network dns secondary X.X.X.X
Click 'Test Connection' to ensure it is successful and then click 'Synchronize Now'?
A few questions
Thanks for any help with this.
What a confusing thread,
I don't understand why you need to touch PLM if you only want to change the primary and secondary DNS for the interface.
Simple scenario:
Business has two new DNS servers
Current setup:
admin:show network eth0
Ethernet 0
DHCP : disabled Status : up
IP Address : 1xx.xx.1.x IP Mask : 255.255.255.000
Link Detected: yes Mode : Auto disabled, Full, 1000 Mbits/s
Duplicate IP : no
Primary : 22.214.171.124 Secondary : 188.8.131.52 ( I JUST WANT TO CHANGE THESE)
Options : timeout:5 attempts:2
Domain : adam.com.au
Gateway : 1xx.xx.1.1 on Ethernet 0
Are you saying we have to go and stuff around with PLM just to adjust the addresses? \
I would have thought you can just SSH to each box in the cluster, change the primary/secondary followed by a Tomcat service restart.
Note - fake addresses used in example
@Gerson Fabian Morales Marin There's no need to remove/re-add product instance on PLM, the warning is misleading.
It's only present on Publisher and not on Subs and was removed starting from 11.5 as part of CSCuw92104.
Also PLM guide states the occasions you need to remove/re-add product instance and this includes only change on IP address/hostname of this instance:

Play N Trade in Make-Believe Retail
As someone who used to work in videogame retail, I found that reliving the experience of being overworked and underpaid through a videogame is a tad surreal. The Play N Trade PC game induced nostalgia, as well as horrid flashbacks of many Black Fridays, but both Quentin Tarantino and I started our working lives in a video store, so maybe it's an educational experience everyone should partake in.
Play N Trade Inc. is a videogame retailer based in California that prides itself on its engaging and friendly atmosphere, in-house tournaments, a "try before you buy" policy, and a simulation game they hope will attract potential franchise owners. Whether the game is meant as a promotion of the retail chain that's behind it or is an attempt to dispel any fairy tale illusions people may have about the job, the Play N Trade game tackles the truth behind what really happens in videogame retail. The concept is a simple one; run your own retail store and try to become successful by selling games, buying back games, and selling used games for more profit, all while trying to catch shoplifters and restock shelves. If none of this really sounds like fun to you, then I can guarantee you the gameplay is very true to its source material.
What I thought would be my retail dream job eroded into a reality that involved asking everyone to sign up for memberships, reserve games, and buy used. In this regard, Play N Trade keeps it real by exposing the player to all the headaches and tedium working in a retail environment bestows upon wide-eyed new recruits. Sadly, I believe the general populace may have to miss out on this simulation gem as it's more of a showcase for potential franchise owners.Post by Andre Bermudez

Nonimmigrant Employment-Based Extraordinary Ability (O-1A/B)
Who Gets It?
O-1A/B visas are granted to individuals who can demonstrate that they possess extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics through significant recognition from professionals in the field and through acclaimed achievements. If you received a highly respected award, such as an Emmy, Grammy, or the like, then you typically automatically qualify.
What the USCIS Wants to See?
The USCIS requires documentation and a written explanation that the individual has received significant recognition from experts in the field and has enough outside evidence to demonstrate it. The following is a list of some of the requirements for approval.
Submissions must establish that the visa seeker meets at least three of the following regulatory criteria for an O-1A:
Receipt of nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards for excellence in the field of endeavor
Membership in associations in the field for which classification is sought which require outstanding achievements, as judged by recognized national or international experts in the field
Published material in professional or major trade publications, newspapers or other major media about the beneficiary and the beneficiary's work in the field for which classification is sought
Original scientific, scholarly, or business-related contributions of major significance in the field
Authorship of scholarly articles in professional journals or other major media in the field for which classification is sought
A high salary or other remuneration for services as evidenced by contracts or other reliable evidence
Participation on a panel, or individually, as a judge of the work of others in the same or in a field of specialization allied to that field for which classification is sought
Employment in a critical or essential capacity for organizations and establishments that have a distinguished reputation
Submissions must establish that the visa seeker meets at least three of the following regulatory criteria for an O-1B:
Performed and will perform services as a lead or starring participant in productions or events which have a distinguished reputation as evidenced by critical reviews, advertisements, publicity releases, publications, contracts or endorsements
Achieved national or international recognition for achievements, as shown by critical reviews or other published materials by or about the beneficiary in major newspapers, trade journals, magazines, or other publications
Performed and will perform in a lead, starring, or critical role for organizations and establishments that have a distinguished reputation as evidenced by articles in newspapers, trade journals, publications, or testimonials.
A record of major commercial or critically acclaimed successes, as shown by such indicators as title, rating or standing in the field, box office receipts, motion picture or television ratings and other occupational achievements reported in trade journals, major newspapers or other publications
Received significant recognition for achievements from organizations, critics, government agencies or other recognized experts in the field in which the beneficiary is engaged, with the testimonials clearly indicating the author's authority, expertise and knowledge of the beneficiary's achievements
A high salary or other substantial remuneration for services in relation to others in the field, as shown by contracts or other reliable evidence
What the USCIS Does Not Want to See?
The USCIS will call into question an O-1A/B based on a number of factors. These are the issues that have been raised in the past. Be aware that the USCIS can take issue with just about anything, so this list is nowhere near complete.
Evidence that visa seeker has not been recognized by experts, media, and related professionals as an extraordinary member of their field.
Evidence that the visa seeker has not done significant work outside of their formal education (college, high school, etc.)
Remember that each case is unique. To find out whether you qualify for this visa, please contact us directly and set up an appointment.

All About BTC, LTC, ETH, ZEC mining as well as other alternative crypto currencies
Checkcoin (CKC) is an interesting alternative crypto currency that wants to tie things to real life experiences, and the developers want to do that by combining geolocations with augmented reality and mobile software users that are able to to create, find and reward each other by discovering great places all over the world. You can think about CKC more in the line of Foursquare meeting crypto currency, and if the developers do manage to realize what they have announced as plans this can turn out to be quite an interesting thing. With that said however we do warn you that this alternative crypto currency that uses X11 algorithm and that you can already mine with GPUs and trade on few of the popular crypto currency exchanges is still far from what it should do, but it does have the potential. So you might want to take a look at Checkcoin (CKC) and although we see potential in it you should be warned that we still need to see a lot of development around the announced plans for the coin. We've already seen a lot of alternative crypto coins getting announced with big plans and then turning out to be scams or not fulfilling their promises and quickly dying after that.
– For more information about the alternative crypto currency Checkcoin (CKC)…
One of the places to collect checkcoin is Groom Lake (i.e. Area 51). The request is for photos inside one of the hangars. Funny.

Facebook wants to tell me how my year has been. If I go by that, all I did in 2014 was sketch a few portraits, go to a few restaurants with a bunch of people, and get pictures clicked for my sister's #100happydays!
Well, that's not how it was, Facebook.
Exactly a year ago, my father suffered a cerebral stroke and ended up with aphasia.
Exactly a year ago, my life crashed around me.
Exactly a year ago, I had to remind myself to breathe.
2014 was a tough nut to crack. It made me shed tears, broke my trust, made me lose relations, showed me how cruel the world can be and that family is not about blood.
2014 was also a brilliant year to test myself. It made me learn to hope even in the worst of circumstances, smile no matter how dim the light is, trust people no matter how much it may hurt you (sometimes they need your help more than you need theirs) and that family is not about blood.
And this has been a very important life changing lesson for me. Come what may, never turn your back to your family and friends. You have no idea how badly and permanently you could leave scars on them! Life isn't about your bank balance! Ask those who are dying and have so much more still left to be spent. They would trade it all for some more time with their loved ones.
Graciously Yours!
P.S.: My dad's almost recovered now.

The AgBMP Loan Program provides needed funding for local implementation of clean water practices at an extremely low cost, is unique in its structure and is not duplicated by any other source of funding.The AgBMP loan program provides 3% loans through local lenders to farmers, rural landowners, and agriculture supply businesses.
The Discovery Farms program is a farmer-led effort to gather information on soil and nutrient loss on farms in different settings across Minnesota. The mission of Discovery Farms Minnesota is to gather water quality information under real-world conditions.
Approximately 70 percent of all Minnesotans rely on groundwater as their primary source of drinking water. Wells used for drinking water must be properly sealed when removed from service to protect both public health and Minnesota's invaluable groundwater resources. The Minnesota Department of Health protects both public health and groundwater by assuring the proper sealing of unused wells.
Clean Water funds are being provided to well owners as a 50% cost-share assistance for sealing unused public water-supply wells.

My thoughts, inspirations and opinions
Scratch Art
Today I tried something new-Scratch Art. I've seen this lying in my daughter's room for a long time but never tried doing it. But today there was a class at the library for which I had registered and it was actually fun and addictive doing this with a group!
Once we become adults most of us or some of us I would say never take the time to do something creative. But today I felt like being a kids in school again. Found in art stores and I'm sure on amazon too. Give it a try!
Humans are born with only two fears – fear of falling and fear of loud noise.
But as an adult, if we take stock, I bet we can list more than twenty fears!
The fear of failure, the fear of trying new things, the fear of looking ridiculous, the fear of public speaking, the fear of new circumstance and the list goes on.
But life happens on the other side of fear. Fear is a mechanism to keep us safe but in being safe all our life, what if we have never lived life to the fullest?
When I started writing, I was riddled with fear. What if people laugh at me? Who am I to write in the first place? The fear of ridicule was the biggest. I did receive some hurtful reviews, but the love of writing over took me. I knew I was the happiest when I wrote or expressed myself through poems, so I tried my best to overcome that fear. The thing is, as an artist or a writer, we have to accept your words will not resonate with everyone. That is okay.
You do things because you want to do it, you love to do it and that is enough to overcome any fear.
So what fear can you overcome this year to be more alive?

The next person you meet in heaven
I just finished reading Mitch Albom's new book, "The next person you meet in heaven" It is a sequel to his novel, "Five people you meet in heaven"
The novel gives us an interesting perspective about the after life. What if everything that happens in our life has a purpose behind it? What if every encounter with a person is supposed to teach us something? What if for those of us, who feel we aren't exactly making our mark in the world, there is a purpose for your existence?
In the first book, the story is about Eddie, a guy who maintains all the rides in an amusement park who thinks his life has been meaningless, finds out after he dies, how his life had in fact touched so many people's life. That we are not an island, but a link in the tapestry called life where we are placed exactly where we are supposed to be at any given point of time.
Talking to many of my friends, being in the so called middle age, they feel, they haven't accomplished much except earn a living and raise a family. But what if, that was exactly what we signed up to do? What if we look back and see how many people we have in fact touched? What if the world would never be the same if we weren't here doing exactly the thing that we are doing?
We are enough. Where we are at this point in life is enough. Make it a joyous one instead of creating misery for you and those around you!
I hope you pick up these two books and read and comment to me your take on it.
Would love to hear from you.
Alike !
Beauty in everything I see!

Hormone Tests
The hormone tests used by BodyLogicMD affiliated physicians include state-of-the-art 24 hour urinary hormone testing, saliva hormone testing, serum hormone testing and a saliva and blood spot combination assessment.
Simple Tests for an Extraordinary Solution
Prior to seeing a BodyLogicMD affiliated practitioner, you will be asked to complete specific testing to get an accurate picture of what is going on inside your body. The initial testing protocol includes both serum and urinary hormone testing although, in some cases, saliva may be used. The information gathered from your lab results will help design your personalized treatment plan. These tests are the first step towards a healthier, happier you.
Serum Hormone Tests
Certain hormones circulating in the bloodstream, such as the thyroid hormones and insulin, cannot be measured using urinary or salivary tests. As a result, the initial panel of testing includes a blood draw to help get a clear understanding of your hormone levels and also allows your practitioner to tailor a personalized wellness program that addresses your individual needs.
The fasting blood draw can be performed at a location near you with one of our partnered laboratories.
Urinary Hormone Tests
Urine testing throughout the day helps present a larger picture to the practitioner of overall hormone balance. The method of collecting urine five times a day is a more detailed way to capture the hormone level fluctuations that most people experience throughout the day (known as circadian rhythm). Some of the most accurate results for free and bio-available hormones and metabolites in the body come from urine testing.
Besides accuracy, these urine tests are designed to be discrete. You will collect samples of urine throughout the day, without having to carry a large collection jug. The kit is mailed directly to your home and includes pre-addressed, pre-paid return envelopes so returning your package is easy.*
Contact the BodyLogicMD bioidentical hormone doctor nearest you to schedule an appointment and learn more about our comprehensive hormone testing.

How to Run a Campaign Stall
Explore this Article Steps Ask a Question Related Articles

Running a campaign stall can be an effective way of campaigning and in some peoples' eyes, it can add an air of legitimacy to your cause.
1Anticipate and gauge interest. This is the hardest part, but be sure you need a stall. If you're distributing less than either 50 magazines/50 slim newspapers/200 A4 or A5 leaflets, then you don't need a stall, you just need a decent bag. Even an ordinary rucksack will generally hold this.
- Choose a location where lots of people pass by and are likely to stop ie. not on their way to work/school.
2Choose what materials to distribute. If you're not using a car, you'll need an idea of the weight. Generally, in order of weight from lightest to heaviest these are per unit.
- Leaflets (lightest per unit).
- Newspapers.
- Magazines.
- Pamphlets/booklets.
- Books (heaviest per unit).
3Get a stall, folding table with a handle. If you're not using a car, get one lighter than a bag of potatoes.
4Transport materials appropriately. If you're not using a car, then use a mini-suitcase with wheels and handle rather than a holdall for heavy materials.
5Make your stall attractive to passers by. Attach posters (A2 size is about right) to the front. Tape is better if its windy, blu-tack is better if you want to reuse the posters. Put them a plastic cover to waterproof them. Always store these rolled outwards (in a rigid card tube) so they don't curl inwards when being displayed (or crumple from being folded). Get wire coat hangers and bend them into props or stands to display your material upright.
- Sometimes using a table cover can look good. But it will be difficult to attach posters to and be vulnerable to rain. Use metal clamps or pegs to hold it in place.
6Prepare for all weather conditions. You can check the weather forecast but don't rely on it.
- Sun will require sun-tan lotion, sunglasses, hats for you and your volunteers. Bring water bottles although these will be heavy so maybe buy them on location. If you can get a stall in the shade.
- Rain will require a waterproof cover. Thin clear plastic document sleeves will work for this. Bring a waterproof jacket. If you have a car then bring a towel.
- Wind will require something to stop things blowing away. Clothes pegs are best for this. Elastic bands could be used but can be awkward and damage material. Bananas are good too as they can be eaten for energy and even write prices of materials on their skin.
7Bring change if you're selling materials.
8Don't just stand there, get out in front of your stall and talk to people. Smile and say hello. If there's no people stopping, at least read your literature to make it look interesting. Don't sit in front of your stall as you'll obstruct it, sit behind your stall or stand in front of it.
9Pick up your litter. Anything that you distribute that is dropped nearby, you have a duty to pick up. Respect your surroundings and keep them tidy. If you can't reuse the litter, recycle it or dispose of it properly.
10Go for somewhere to eat dinner with volunteers after a hard days campaigning. Don't expect to persuade anyone in the public but maybe invite them to the meal afterwards.
11Know what you're going to do with remaining material. What are you going to dump and where and what are you going to take back for another day?

- It helps to have free stuff as well as paid stuff for sale.
- If you're really ambitious, you can set up a gazebo.
- Use garden cane and washing line to attach flags or balloons to your stall.
- Make notes and take people's details. Have a clipboard and paper and pens.
- Always schedule in breaks for lunch. Cycle volunteers on a toilet and lunch rota.
- Don't do more than six hours at a stretch e.g. 10am til 4pm.
- You can also distribute badges, t-shirts.
- An umbrella is difficult to carry but can protect from rain and sun.
- Be prepared to abandon your stall if you need the toilet and you're the only one running it.
- Get permission from the place you're campaigning.
- Locate seating if someone has been standing up too long.
- Know what to do if a volunteer falls ill. Campaigning is hard work.
- If it's a controversial campaign, be ready for trouble and hostility.
Things You'll Need
- Volunteers
- Stall/folding table
- Materials for distribution. Newspapers, magazines etc.

The great comic was all but washed up in movies when he became the host of this comedy quiz show on radio, then moved with it to TV in 1950. For another 11 years he flicked his cigar ashes at an assortment of oddball contestants (among them some soon-to-be-stars, like Phyllis Diller). The game was virtually an afterthought (a few perfunctory questions for each pair of players, with stolid sidekick George Fenneman keeping score); the point was to showcase the host's ad-lib banter. Never mind that much of the dialogue was scripted; the secret word for this show was always Groucho.

Ha! BF was definitely a slow driver as noted above…I vividly recall as a small child of less than 10 or so, grandfather driving me around Lititz at a snail's pace, just him and me, to see the sights as well as numerous properties and vacant lots that he owned around town. I learned from grandfather at at early age that a few bucks could be readily made by investing in real estate… Thanks gramps! You remain my inspiration to this day. -Robert P. Lutz, Jr., grandson, Hayward, CA
Fond memories of the Lutz family
Patricia Walter of Lebanon recently got in touch with the Record Express to submit the obituary of her sister, the late Nancy Jane Weber. In reading Nancy's biography, it was discovered that both Nancy and Patricia are the granddaughters of Benjamin S. Lutz, a former co-owner of Lutz Central Market and butcher shop in Lititz. The Lutz clan was also famous for its musical endeavors, and as the owners of a public swimming pool.
In addition to cutting meat, Benjamin Lutz was a musician and composer of hymns and patriotic songs. When he was a little boy, he was a member of the Lutz Quintet, and as an adult, owned and operated the Lutz Pool near the corner of Front and Locust Streets.
The story of how the Lutz Quintet got started is this:
"All the children in the family, then, got one of the childhood diseases. Mumps, measles, I can't remember which one, but they were quarantined for a month, as was standard procedure then," Pat Walter said. "Grandpa went out and bought instruments for all of them, brought them home and taught them how to play. That kept them occupied for the month."
Walter recalls these memories of her grandfather's butcher shop:
"I worked in the store on Saturday mornings, sometimes Friday nights, from about eighth grade through high school," she says. "I made the whopping salary of 40 cents an hour! I waited on customers, sliced lunch meat, made hamburger, and learned to cut pork chops, although I wasn't very good at it. Most of my childhood, the family did their own butchering in their shop on Cedar Street which was on the edge of the creek flowing through there and across from the factory. At age six, I begged to come to the shop when they butchered. They killed a calf that day. I ran home crying, and never went back.
"There was a "hide" room in a barn in the back of the land where hides were stored in salt until the "hide man" came to pick them up," said Walter. "There was also a corral in the back for animals held for a short time before butchering. Probably sometime in the late 40s, there was an article in the Lititz Record about a steer that got loose and jumped a then existing hedge behind McElroy's Drug Store. I remember getting teased about that a school!"
Apparently, B.F. Lutz was infamous for being a slow driver.
"Others will attest, that he was the slowest driver around. His high speed was 25, even to Lancaster," said Walter. " When I was a freshman in high school, my best friend told me she was late for school that morning, because her father got behind Benny Lutz and couldn't pass him! When I was old enough to drive, I drove Grandpa's car with him as a passenger. His comment was 'Take 'er up to 40 and see how she goes!' And, that's an actual quote, too!"
Patricia recalled this memory from her childhood at her grandfather's pool:
"I was about four years old and there was some sort of celebration at the pool. There were games and there was a group of men, as I remember it, playing brass instruments for the celebration. It could have been the Moravian Trombone Choir because my father was playing in the group," Patrician recalls. "The children in the pool were instructed to form a circle and move around that circle much like a cake walk. Prizes were to be awarded. The musicians would play, stopping abruptly and the person at a chosen spot would win whatever the prize was.
"When the water got too deep for me to walk in, I just kept holding hands of those beside me, and kicked my feet. I hadn't learned how to swim at that point. You guessed it. The music stopped when I was in an area that was too deep for me to stand. Those beside me left go of my hands in the excitement. No one seemed to know that I was in distress, including my father who was concentrating on the outcome.
After a few times of bobbing up and calling for help, a young woman dove into the water from the side of the pool, and pulled me out. I guess I sputtered some, but I was back into the water later on. I knew at one point who the woman was, but I don't remember now, 76 years later. I'm not sure how many people knew what had just happened. My father learned about it after I was pulled out of the water. It's still a very vivid memory!"
According to Patricia, the pool closed in the mid-1940s.
"The pool was still going in 1940-45, and I could walk there from 128 Front Street a few blocks to the pool," she says. "I remember it well. It was soon after that that it closed. I remember my parents saying that Grandpa didn't make any money because if kids came that didn't have any money to get in, he'd let them swim anyhow."
Although the pool is long closed, music is still a longstanding tradition with the newest generations of the Lutz family.
"In my family alone, my eldest daughter is an elementary general music teacher in the Northern Lebanon School District. She followed the same "track" as I did. Both of us graduated from Lebanon Valley College, me in 1957 and she in 1985," said Walter. "I taught most of my teaching career in the Lebanon School District. My son is a professional jazz vocalist that writes music, teaches and freelances out of New York City, working a good bit in Europe.
"Two other daughters didn't make music a career, but both wanted colleges that had music departments and they were members of the concert choirs in their respective colleges. Those two are involved with church music in their areas — mostly singing with Praise Groups. My two oldest grandsons sing, play guitar and piano and would like to break into the 'gig' scene. They are both located in different cities in Florida. In another group of grandchildren, there are piano and guitar players, a cello player who sings, plays piano and writes her own music. And, the third family, with younger grandchildren have two beginning piano players with the third begging to begin — he's six.
"You can see, my grandfather Benny really started something. My grandchildren are fifth generation musicians of varying degrees."

text: We have let Google know that they have been posting incorrect hours on the side bar several times. They do have the correct times now, however if you see hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. those are the OFFICE HOURS of the Saskatoon Zoo Society. The Saskatoon Zoo Society is a non-profit charity that produces this website and runs the environmental education programs and most events at the Zoo. Google does have the hours correct, but if you don't know the difference between the Saskatoon Zoo Society and the Saskatoon Forestry Farm, it is easy to make a mistake. SO, how do YOU know? Don't rely on the Google sidebars! Go directly to the business websites for accurate information. Hope that helps you out!

Collecting and using this information to provide our products and services to you is essential to our success and to conduct our business. Our privacy commitment is more than complying with the laws of each jurisdiction where we operate.

We collect only the personal information necessary for these purposes and we are committed to protecting and safeguarding that information. We also ensure that our employees, representatives, suppliers and service providers adhere to our principles and standards when dealing with Foresters business, members and customers.
Foresters – The Independent Order of Foresters, its subsidiaries, licensed representatives and employees.
Personal Information – Any information about an identifiable individual, such as name, age, address, gender, government identification numbers, financial information, health information and medical records. It does not include publicly available information.
We adhere to the following ten principles when handling Personal Information:
- Accountability: We are responsible for Personal Information under our control. We have established a framework for privacy management across all our business operations and have designated individuals who are responsible for monitoring compliance with our principles, policies, standards and procedures.
- Identifying Purposes: We are transparent about our privacy practices and identify the purposes for which we collect, use, retain and disclose personal information.
- Consent: Your knowledge and consent are required for the collection, use or disclosure of Personal Information, except as otherwise permitted or required by law. You may provide your consent in writing, verbally, electronically or through our or your authorized representative. Your consent may also be implied. This may occur, for example, where the law permits it, if you do not "opt out" of distribution of your Personal Information when we ask you.
- Limiting Collection: We limit the collection of Personal Information to that which is necessary for the purposes we identify and we collect it fairly and lawfully.
- Use, Disclosure and Retention: We do not use, disclose or retain Personal Information for purposes other than those for which we collected it, except with your permission, or as permitted or required by law. We restrict the disclosure of Personal Information to those who have a need for, and the legal right to, the information. This may include our employees, licensed representatives or service providers who need the information to perform their duties, some of our business areas and subsidiaries who may, from time to time, offer or promote other financial products, benefits or services, or those of select third parties, that we believe may be of interest to our customers. We may also have joint marketing or distribution agreements with other financial institutions that may offer or promote products that we believe may be of interest to our customers. In some instances, our subsidiaries, employees, service providers, representatives, reinsurers, and any of their service providers may be located in other jurisdictions. Personal Information may then be subject to the laws of those other jurisdictions. We will not keep Personal Information longer than is necessary and will destroy or delete it in a manner that is appropriate for the sensitivity of the information, the media in which it is stored or retained, and as required by law.
- Accuracy: We make reasonable efforts to keep Personal Information accurate, complete, and up-to-date as is necessary for the purposes for which we use it.
