A muscle relaxant, just as it stems from the name itself, relax muscles by affecting skeleton muscle function and decreasing the muscle tone, which may be helpful in a number of conditions. In case you experience such symptoms as aches, pain, muscle spasms, and hyperreflexia, taking a muscle relaxant may be an appropriate treatment option.
Speaking of muscle relaxants, there are two main therapeutic groups of the medicine:
- spasmolytics;
- neuromuscular blockers.
Neuromuscular blockers cause temporary paralysis, which allows using these substances in surgical procedures as well as in emergency medicine.
Spasmolytics that are sometimes called "centrally acting" relaxants are intended for relieving (alleviating) spasms and are therefore used in treating a number of neurological conditions.
Regardless of the fact that both blockers and spasmolytics belong to the group of muscle relaxants, people often refer to the latter name when speaking of muscular relaxants. Such a mistake is quite common.
Let's go into details and see what spasmolytics are. This class of muscle relaxants includes the following substances:
- metaxalone;
- carisoprodol;
- methocarbomol;
- cyclobenzaprine.
- All of them are efficient in:
- relieving pains in low back or neck;
- tension headaches;
- fibromyalgia;
- myofascial pain syndrome.
Nevertheless, doctor's advice may be required since in some cases such drugs may not show greater efficiency in relieving acute low back pain than traditional paracetamol or NSAIDs. You should discuss this treatment option with a medical specialist since muscle relaxants may have side effects such as feeling dizzy or drowsy.
You can buy muscle relaxants from our online pharmacy if you want to get rid of pain and aches. This will be simple to do since all that is required of you is a few minutes of your free time to spend filling out an order form. We provide high quality at affordable prices so that you pay less for better quality compared to other pharmacies. Our online pharmacy offers a wide range of muscle relaxants for you to choose among.

Verum means true and Verum Pinot Noir is true to the terroir of Patagonia. Elegant, pure ripe cherry and redcurrant fruit with earthy notes and fine tannins.
Patagonia is considered one of Argentina's most beautiful places and for wine makers it offers fertile soil, numerous hours of sun and abundant water. In this privileged setting Verum (Bodega Del Río Elorza) was born, a realization of a combined dream between two families – the 'Del Rio' family and the 'Elorza' family.
In 2001 the Del Rio Elorza family purchased a vineyard originally planted at the beginning of the 20th century. Planting to high density (5,500 vines/hectare) their 20 hectare site now includes Malbec, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet Franc and their wines go from strength to strength. Tim Atkin MW considers Del Rio Elorza to be one of the top 25 Argentine wineries 'to watch.'
Led by internationally renowned winemaker Alberto Antonini and local winemaker Agustin Lombroni, their experience and understanding of this unique Patagonian terroir impart great personality in the wines.

Presidential Symposium
Presidential Symposia were developed by the president and program chairs. These sessions were created around the theme of the meeting. New this year! Our 6 disciplinary Presidential Symposium will have a rapporteur present for each session. The concepts and themes emerging from the individual presidential symposia will be combed together and discussed among the designated rapporteurs and the audience at the GSA Presidential Symposium on Saturday afternoon.
The Ties That Bind: The Influence of Social Media and Technology in the Lives of Older Adults
Thursday, November 14 | 8:00 to 9:30 a.m.
- Chair: Tamara A. Baker
- Discussant: Lewina O. Lee
- Speakers: Neil H. Charness, Toni Antonucci, Wendy Rogers, Sara J. Czaja
Data show that seven out of every ten adults, over the age of 50, own a smartphone, with one out of ten owning a tablet. While traditional activities dictate the use of technology among this cohort, there is growing evidence that adults similarly use devices to also manage their medical care and to learn online. This increase has guided scholars in recognizing the utility of technology from designing interventions to understanding how technology may serve as a barrier and/or facilitator to one's general well-being. This symposium features four presentations from nationally recognized scholars that will expand traditional perspectives on technology use, and how it influences social ties among older adults. Dr. Charness will examine the population-level trends in social network use by aging adults and discuss a recent CREATE intervention study (PRISM), that used a computer-based platform to reduce social isolation and loneliness among older adults. Dr. Czaja will similarly present findings from CREATE, and other trials, on the access to and use of email, social media sites, and online support groups among older adults, and the resultant impact on social connectivity, loneliness and social support. Dr. Rogers will discuss technologies that currently exist (e.g., apps, mobile devices, social networking) or are being developed (e.g., robotics, telepresence, virtual reality) to support social engagement. Dr. Antonucci will examine aspects of new technologies and their influence on health and well-being, while underscoring the perspective that new and emerging technologies hold great promise in overcoming traditional barriers to maintaining social contact and exchange. Supported by the Behavioral and Social Sciences Section.
Presidential Symposium: Expanding the Geroscience Network
Thursday, November 14 | noon to 1:30 p.m.
- Chair: Matt Kaeberlein
- Speakers: Daniel Promislow, Jing-Dong Jackie Han, Anne Brunet
In keeping with the 2019 GSA Annual Meeting theme of "Strength in Age—Harnessing the Power of Networks", the Biological Sciences Presidential Symposium focuses on cutting edge approaches to understand the biology of aging using network and systems approaches. Supported by the Biological Sciences Section.
Museums and Aging: Novel Network Opportunities to Support Optimal Aging
Thursday, November 14 | 5:00 to 6:30 p.m.
- Chair: Desmond O'Neill
- Co-Chair and Discussant: Robert Roush
- Speakers: Manfred Gogol, Ray Williams, Teresa Bonner, David J. Ekerdt
Museums represent an evolving and under-recognized network of opportunity for examining aging while supporting optimal aging across the lifespan. Museums bind communities together in a civic body by "…identifying its highest values, its proudest memories, and its truest truths."(Duncan, 1991). They represent a secular ritual of the modern state in which the spiritual heritage of the nation is offered as a public reinforcement of political values. Art museums are also sites which enable individuals to achieve liminal experience - to move beyond the psychic constraints of mundane existence, step out of time, and attain new, larger perspectives. The interaction and potential synergies between museums and aging have been insufficiently explored in gerontological scholarship, with the existing emphasis largely focusing on facilitating access to older people and those with age-related health conditions. This symposium reflects and magnifies the networking of GSA with a major art museum through an Educational Site Visit during GSA 2019 to the Blanton Art Museum. It proposes to review museums and ageing in a broader context, exploring the context within which aging is represented in the discourse of heritage and museums, museums networking to provide a repository of late-life creativity, networks of older people as a key resource and client group for museums, life-course and inter-generational engagement with museums. Finally, the insights that the ageing of art works provide for curating the longevity dividend through developing scholarly networks between gerontologists and curators. Supported by the Humanities and Arts Committee.
Optimizing Surgical Care for All Older Adults
Friday, November 14 | 8:00 to 9:30 a.m.
- Chair: Thomas Robinson
- Co-Chair: Ronnie Rosenthal
- Speakers: Marcia McGory Russell, Emily Finlayson, Meixi Ma, Lindsey Zhang, Mark Katlic
Our program will provide a detailed overview with an emphasis on the research aspects of the new Coalition for Quality in Geriatric Surgery, a project supported by the American College of Surgeons and the John A. Hartford Foundation. This project is a national endeavor which aims to systematically improve the surgical care of older adults by establishing a verifiable quality improvement program with standards based on best evidence focused on what matters most to the individual patient. We believe there is a critical need for safe, high-quality, patient-centered surgical care for older adults. Aging surgical patients have unique physiological needs, social needs and unique goals of care. We formed the Coalition to help hospitals meet these rising needs by setting and verifying interdisciplinary standards and developing outcome measures that matter to older patients, families and caregivers. In collaboration with our 50+ stakeholder organizations, we have set the standards, developed measures that matter, educated providers and patients, and created awareness about the surgical needs of older adults at all hospitals through the program. The geriatric surgery program, set to launch in the Summer of 2019, will use the four principles of continuous quality improvement: set standards, define the right infrastructure, collect rigorous data, and verify. The program not only improves perioperative care, but also impacts the full cycle of care for older adults. Our group has harnessed the power of networks through partnership and collaboration of all disciplines involved in the peri-operative care of older adults. Supported by the Health Sciences Section.
Education Networks: Strengthening Gerontology and Geriatrics Through Connectivity
Friday, November 15 | 10:00 to 11:30 a.m.
- Chair: Judith Howe
- Discussant: Kathryn Hyer
- Speakers: Phillip Clark, Joann M. Montepare, Margaret A. Perkinson
The AGHE Presidential Symposium, related to the theme of the annual scientific meeting, underscores the importance of networks, collaborations and partnerships in advancing education in gerontology and geriatrics. AGHE has been at the forefront of many innovative programs since it was founded in 1974, contributing to the growth of the field and the recognition of education as one pillar of the field of gerontology and geriatrics, along with research, policy and practice. This symposium highlights three ongoing initiatives that promote connections and collaborations. The first paper discusses the Age-Friendly University (AFU) network which is made of institutions around the globe who have committed themselves to becoming more age-friendly in their programs and policies. AGHE endorses the AFU principles and invites its members and affiliates to call upon their institutions become part of this pioneering initiative. The AFU initiative is one of several international activities that AGHE, global leaders in education on aging, has engaged in. The second paper describes international networking activities such as collaborations with international organizations including the World Health Organization and connecting international and US students. In the third paper, initiatives to connect disciplines and professions through competency-based education and curricula are discussed. For instance, the Gerontology Competencies for Undergraduate and Graduate Education and the Program of Merit promote competency-based gerontology education across disciplines and professions. Supported by the Academy for Gerontology in Higher Education.
Multidisciplinary Emerging Perspectives on Building and Maintaining Networks in Aging
Friday, November 15 | 5:00 to 6:30 p.m.
- Chair: Darina Petrovsky
- Co-Chair: Jamie N. Justice
- Speakers: Ameya S. Kulkarni, Mariya A. Kovaleva, Katherine Kennedy, Danielle Waldron, Eugenie Stephenson
This ESPO Presidential Symposium features a multidisciplinary perspective and recent scientific advances made by early career researchers from each of the GSA scientific sections. They will provide examples of how their work is addressing ways to build and maintain networks in aging and gerontological workforce. These talks will span research on the age-associated transcriptional networks (Biological Sciences, Kulkarni), enhancing care for persons with dementia using a professional healthcare network (Health Sciences, Kovaleva), ways to maintain care networks in nursing home residents (Behavioral and Social Sciences, Kennedy), exploring the impact of social isolation in older adults on the Autism Spectrum (Social Research, Policy, and Practice, Waldron) and reflections on a project that linked aging education and student involvement within the aging network at the state level (Academy for Gerontology in Higher Education, Stephenson). These talks will demonstrate the diversity of aims, strategies, methodologies, and tools employed across disciplines. In addition, these early career researchers will share how they use networks in their own disciplines to advance their science with the goal of building an independent program of research. We will conclude with a discussion on ways to identify synergies across different fields and promote strategies for successful cross-discipline collaboration. Supported by the Emerging Scholar and Professional Organization (ESPO).
Harnessing Social Networks to Optimize Environmental Contexts for Diverse Aging Experiences
Saturday, November 16 | 8:00 to 9:30 a.m.
- Chair: Philip Rozario
- Co-Chair: Emily Greenfield
- Discussant: Nancy Kusmaul
- Speakers: Harry O. Taylor, Caroline Gelman, Sato Ashida
Social networks provide opportunities for engagement with others and structure the receipt and provision of emotional, instrumental, informational and appraisal support. Indeed scholars in this field have documented the importance of having strong social networks in influencing older adults' well-being and quality of life. The three papers in this symposium draw on the convoy model of social relations and ecological model to examine and better understand the micro, mezzo, macro contexts that shape and influence how older people engage with and benefit from their networks in three areas: low-income senior housing communities, urban areas specifically targeting older Latinos with dementia, and disaster preparedness in micropolitan counties in eastern Iowa. The first paper, a cross-sectional study focusing on social connections in senior housing communities, examines levels of social networks, engagement, support and loneliness and their relationship with well-being outcomes. The second paper, a community-based participatory research project, reports an intervention that seeks to train natural helpers in a predominantly Latino urban neighborhood to identify and refer older Latinos with dementia to bilingual assessment services. The third paper, synthesizing findings from interventions targeting network building at the individual and state levels as well as a community-based network analysis, presents ways to strengthen networks at the mezzo and macro levels as well as environmental contexts that enable better disaster preparedness for community-based older adults. These papers will consider practice, policy and research implications in strengthening social networks and engagement to optimize older adults' well-being in various settings. Supported by the Social Research, Policy and Practice Section.
The GSA Presidential Symposium – Strength in Age: Harnessing the Power of Networks
Saturday, November 16 | noon to 1:30 p.m.
- Chair: Harvey J. Cohen
- Rapporteurs:
Kelly Niles-Yokum, Academy for Gerontology in Higher Education, Education Networks: Strengthening of Gerontology and Geriatrics through Connectivity
Kristine J. Ajrouch, Behavioral and Social Sciences Section, The Ties That Bind: The Influence of Social Media and Technology in the Lives of Older Adults
George L. Sutphin, Biological Sciences Section, Expanding the Geroscience Network
Luigi Ferrucci, Health Sciences Section, Optimizing Surgical Care for All Older Adults
Kate de Medeiros, Humanities and Arts Committee, Museums and Aging: Novel Network Opportunities to Support Optimal Aging
Emily Greenfield, Social Research Policy and Practice Section, Harnessing Social Networks to Optimize Environmental Contexts for Diverse Aging Experiences
GSA is a network of disciplinary components each of which is a network composed of members. This large system possesses powerful emergent properties that are realized at many interdisciplinary interfaces. The GSA Presidential Symposium mirrors this by bringing together rapporteurs from our disciplinary presidential symposia who will summarize the major findings of these symposia. The Behavioral and Social Sciences presidential symposium explores the use of social networking by aging adults, the media and technologies utilized, and the impact of these trends on health and well-being. The Biological Sciences presidential symposium examines multiple layers of biological networks as predictors of systemic aging. The Social Research Policy and Practice presidential symposium dissects the reciprocal relationship between broad environmental contexts and social networks throughout life and ways in which this relationship can be used to optimize the aging experience. The Health Sciences presidential symposium reports on the improvement of perioperative care of older adults achieved through harnessing the partnership and collaboration of all disciplines involved in this care. The Academy of Gerontology in Higher Education presidential symposium discusses ongoing initiatives that build networks to shape age-friendly programs and policies at universities, international collaborations, and competency-based gerontology education. The Humanities and Arts presidential symposium investigates the synergy between museums and aging, both of which are represented as networks. A discussion between the presidential symposia rapporteurs with audience participation will ensue to identify common, overarching themes and to spark approaches to important, interdisciplinary problems in gerontology.

Rockpool Bar & Grill
Rockpool Bar & Grill has been serving up great food since it first opened in Melbourne in 2006. Lunchtime at the Rockpool is synonymous with business power lunches whilst, amidst candlelight, dinners are known to be frequented by the "first-date" variety. Based on Chef Neil Perry's food I'm sure the deal always gets sealed. The emphasis (or mantra) at the Rockpool has always been high quality produce and we experienced this first hand with our David Blackmore's Full Blood Wagyu Hamburger, comprised of a brioche bun, bacon, onions, gruyere cheese and zuni pickles.

On the Nature of Academic Freedom and Bob Cohen on Pete Seeger
On The New Republic website today, the distinguished sociologist Alan Wolfe pens a defense of a left-wing academic, William I. Robinson.The Anti-Defamation League and others are attacking Robinson for recent actions he took in conjunction with a course he teaches at the University of California, Santa Barbara, on the "Sociology of Globalization."
Robinson did the following. Last January, he sent an e-mail to students in his course accusing Israel of war crimes in Gaza, said that the occupation of Gaza by Israel was the equivalent of the Nazi occupation of the Warsaw Ghetto, and sent photographs which he argued showed that what Israel was doing to the Palestinians was the same as what the Nazis had done to the Jews. In protest, the Anti-Defamation League has called for an investigation of Professor Robinson.
Wolfe comes to Robinson's defense by making the following argument. He does not agree with his beliefs as expressed in the e-mail. Indeed, Wolfe acknowledges that "neither Robinson's leftist kind of sociology nor his activist kind of politics are mine." Yet he finds the idea of investigating Robinson "appalling" and writes that "the ADL should be ashamed of itself." As Wolfe sees it, censoring Robinson would set harmful precedents that could have ramifications for anyone teaching at public universities.
Robinson's defenders say his academic freedom is in danger of being abridged, especially since the University has said it will investigate his actions. Wolfe does not buy Robinson's critics contention that propagandistic e-mails have nothing to do with the subject he is teaching. Wolfe maintains that professors at our universities who teach controversial subjects should "provoke, and even outrage, their students." This certainly is what Robinson has done, especially to the school's Jewish students. Wolfe worries about "academic apathy;' he thinks it is a good thing when a professor cares so much about issues of the day that he e-mails students about them. Even if his actions caused damage or hurt to some, Wolfe says, the "arguments and discussion" they provoke outweigh the damage he might have done.
Moreover, those opposing Robinson, like the ADL, are condemned by Wolfe as "thought police," who are "monitoring campuses for any sign of what it considers offensive speech and putting pressure to bear on university administrators to stop it." So Wolfe has joined a new committee "to Defend Academic Freedom at UCSB," which includes Noam Chomsky, a man who has never found an extremist critic of Israel he has not rushed to defend. Noting that his own college cancelled a speech by Bill Ayers and that Clark University considered cancelling a speech by the self-hating Jew Norman Finkelstein, Wolfe is concerned that "this whole business is threatening to spin out of control."
So Wolfe, who claims he opposes the "smug political correctness of the academic left," says it is imperative that he also oppose "the new version of political correctness" of those who want to censor ideas they oppose.
Is Alan Wolfe correct? I think not. First, he confuses the concept of free speech- guaranteed by the First Amendment of our Constitution, with the concept of academic freedom. As a political philosopher and sociologist, Wolfe should know this. A David Duke may have ideas we despise and detest; that does not give Duke to teach a course, let us say, on English literature, and send out his anti-Semitic hate material to students by e-mail. It does guarantee Duke the right to spout his bile in public, and for us to denounce him in return.
No one has made the distinction better than Stanley Fish, writing in The New York Times on July 23, 2006. Fish wrote: "Academic freedom is the freedom of academics to study anything they like; the freedom, that is, to subject any body of material, however unpromising it may seem, to academic interrogation and analysis...Any idea can be brought into the classroom if the point is to inquire into its structure, history, influence and so forth. But no idea belongs in the classroom if the point of introducing it is to recruit your students for the political agenda it may be thought to imply."
I do not think Professor Robinson and his supporters could provide evidence that these anti-Israel e-mails meet that criterion, or Wolfe's criterion that they provoke thought. Robinson did not e-mail counter arguments with his e-mail. He sought instead to indoctrinate students with his own political agenda, using his power over them via the course he is teaching to make them pay attention to his own political views.
The second document I cite is the famous "1940 Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom and Tenure," passed by the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) when the group had clout and influence in the academy. Written at a moment when our country was at war, the AAUP statement says: "Teachers are entitled to freedom in the classroom in discussing their subject, but they should be careful not to introduce into their teaching controversial matter which has no relation to their subject....When they speak or write as citizens, they should be free from institutional censorship or discipline, but their special position in the community imposes special obligations. As scholars and educational officers, they should remember that the public may judge their profession and their institution by their utterances. Hence they should at all times be accurate, should exercise appropriate restraint...and should make every effort to indicate that they are not speaking for the institution."
In 1970, the AAUP printed an addendum, in which they said the intent was not to discourage what is controversial, since controversy is "at the heart of the free academic inquiry." It was only meant to "underscore the need for teachers to avoid persistently intruding material which has no relation to the subject."
To sum up: Alan Wolfe should look closely at Stanley Fish's argument, as well as the AAUP statement. Freedom of speech is not the same thing as academic freedom. Too many left-wing academics, like Ward Churchill, have hidden under the rubric of the latter to assert a false case that their free speech is being challenged. It is not. They have a perfect right to make idiots of themselves as citizens; students have the right to let an administration know that as captives in the classroom, they do not have to listen to a professor's political agenda and to be subject to indoctrination.

And do so with the understanding that somewhere, in the world, men and women stand guard in places known and unknown. And families wait and watch for their return.
And mourn those who don't with a depth that is incomprehensible.
I write this post in contemplation and gratitude. To those men and women who choose to stand guard for me and my sons, to the families who watch them go and wait for their return, for those who support them in various and needed ways, I say Thank You. Words cannot express my gratitude, but Thank You is the least that I can say.
Thank you.

Maturing Toward Wholeness in the Inner Life
New Life Comes Forth from Death
It Is No Longer I Who Live, But Christ Who Lives In Me
1 – "Behold, I am making all things new" (Revelation 21:5). God is renewing creation. He has made every provision for each of us to become a new person.
2 – Making something anew is not the same as making it the first time. It is a re-making. In the fullest sense, salvation is about re-creating what has been ruined.
3 – What is involved in the process of re-making something?
- The old—that which is damaged—must first be removed.
- The new can then be formed.
4 – What does the process of re-making a person look like?
- The old life must first be removed—put to death.
- A new life—an eternal kind of life—Christ's life—can then be formed in its place.
5 – What are the outcomes when a person is re-made—redeemed? Forgiveness of sin? Heaven when we die? Absolutely! Is that all? No! There is more—much more!
6 -My sinful behavior expresses the broken, lost person I have become. Would God work forgiveness and heaven but leave character—who I really am—unaffected?
7 – "As he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, 'You shall be holy, for I am holy'" (1 Peter 1:15-16).
8 – Being born again is not the end goal. It starts a process by which I am gradually re-formed toward becoming like Jesus on the inside. The fruit is Christlike behavior.
9 – Jesus: "The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil" (Luke 6:45a).
10 – Two megatrends guide and empower this life-process:
- I submit to Christ as he, by his Spirit, works his death in me.
- I rely on Christ as he, by his Spirit, replaces my brokenness with his beauty.
11 – I do not control my re-creation. God does. But I must choose it. The Holy Spirit gradually forms new life within me as:
- I choose to rely on God (walk by faith) in all of life.
- I validate my decision to rely on God by obeying him.
12 – "Death" here has nothing to do with self-abuse or condemnation. It is a grace-filled offer to remove the undesirable effects of wrongness within me.
13 – "For one who has died has been set free from sin" (Romans 6:7). This is a death I must choose. God will not force it on me.
14 – These two processes permeate the teachings of Jesus and the apostles:
- I allow Christ's death to work in me.
- Christ, by his Spirit, forms new life—God's life, eternal life—within me.
15 – Jesus: "For whoever would save his life will loose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it" (Matthew 16:25).
16 – The apostles: "I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me" (Galatians 2:20).
17 – These truths permeated not only their teachings. Jesus and the apostles lived what they taught! They chose death, knowing it was the avenue to life.
18 – Jesus: "He humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him" (Philippians 2:8b-9a).
19 – Apostles: "We who live are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh" (2 Corinthians 4:11).
20 – Throughout Church history Christ's followers, across Christian traditions, have taught that the path to life in God's Presence and Kingdom leads through death.
21 – The well-known prayer attributed to the Roman Catholic, Francis of Assisi (c. 1181-1226), ends with these words, "It is in dying that we are born to eternal life."
22 – Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the Protestant who stood against Nazi terror in his native Germany, wrote, "Whenever Christ calls us, his call leads us to death."
23 – That new life emerges from death is a principle seen throughout nature. Jesus used this reality to illustrate his teaching.
24 – Jesus: "Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit" (John 12:24).
What Must Die? The Self-life!
25 – Why is the choice to die unavoidable in accessing Christ's new life? Because the root from which all sin grows—self-centeredness (self-worship)—blocks the way.
26 – God created us for a relationship with him of mutual agape love. We were to be central in his affections, and he was to be central in ours.
27 – A scribe asked Jesus which commandment was most important. Jesus answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart" (Mark 12:30a).
28 – This would allow God to meet our every need directly, each moment, as we rely on him alone. His power, wisdom and kindness would be fully available to us.
29 – Sadly, our first parents violated this arrangement. They turned from God as the center of their affection. They installed the self-life there instead.
30 – Being separated from God by their own choice removed them from the Source who alone could meet their needs. They were left relying on themselves.
31 – But they were unable to meet their own needs. They slid into neediness, then further into damage, ruin and lostness. We have each done the same thing.
32 – Self-worship leads to self-reliance, self-will, self-effort. Self-worship drives us unavoidably into the darkness and lostness of the self-life.
33 – The "old man" or "natural man" of Scripture develops out of the choices, thoughts, emotions, behaviors and relational wounds generated by self-worship.
34 – We need to be saved from the self-life. It was formed as we sought fulfillment in all the wrong ways. It yields emptiness, pain, darkness—lostness.
35 – "And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done" (Romans 1:28).
36 – My ruined self-life must be put to death. This allows me to be re-formed with a new life—God's life—eternal life. I must choose it, but I don't do it—God does.
The Christian Believer Is "In Christ"
37 – The process whereby the ruined self-life is put to death and replaced by God's new life takes place "in Christ"—a condition of God's design.
38 – By repentance and faith we turn again to God. He then sets us "in Christ." This is a mystery. We can't understand it by trying to analyze it—by living in our heads.
39 – "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come" (2 Corinthians 5:17). I just rely on God's word.
40 – When God sets me "in Christ", by his grace I am given a new reality. But I am responsible to access its benefits. How? By daily choices to trust expressed by obedience.
41 – What is meant by "in Christ"? One way to understand this: Rather than me trying to hold on to Christ, Christ is actually holding on to me.
42 – What is meant by "in Christ"? This means that God has united me with Christ in his death and resurrection. When he died, I died. When he rose, I rose.
43 – "For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his" (Romans 6:5).
44 – This may seem unreal. I died to sin? It doesn't feel like it! I often fail when faced with temptation. Now I must decide not to live governed by what I feel.
45 – "Consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus" (Romans 6:11). "Consider" means to choose to rely on this being true and to act accordingly.
46 – "Do not present your members to sin…present yourselves to God…and your members to God as instruments for righteousness" (Romans 6:13).
47 – Our "members" are our bodily parts, but perhaps also our wills, thoughts, emotions. Spiritual practices assist us in presenting our members to God.
48 – Accepting a truth by faith is more than giving mental assent. I make choices, take actions that are logical if the truth is indeed true. Faith without works is dead.
49 – For a disciple of Christ to vacillate between yielding to the self-life or dying to it is to vacillate between unreality (yielding to self) and reality (dying to self).
50 – Yielding to the self-life obstructs my formation by the Spirit into Christlikeness. Dying to the self-life co-operates with the Spirit as he forms Christlikeness in me.
What Does This Look Like In Practice?
51 – Limiting these truths to the realm of theology renders them sterile—inoperative. They must shape my choices and my actions. Some examples:
52 – I allocate time to be with God—to practice his Presence. To do this I must say "no" to other things—even good things. I "die" to them.
53 – I choose not to demand my own way. When my will is crossed, I lay down my reactions. I "die" to retaliation. I make space for my Father to work his will.
54 – I "die" to any desire to win over others, to be more important, more successful, more praised. I thank my Father for the place in life he has given me.
55 – I choose to learn to be a servant. Jesus: "If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all" (Mark 9:36). I allow Jesus to form this in me.
56 – When wronged, I reject "pay back". I accept God's role as Judge. I entrust my abuser to him. I "die" to anger and revenge.
57 – I choose to release my felt need to be in control. I accept that it is God, not I, who is in control. I marvel in the deep peace this brings.
58 – I choose spiritual practices that train me in dying to self. One example: Fasting teaches me that I do not need to be in bondage to my bodily appetites.
59 – In each life situation I seek to learn to love. Love is choosing to set aside self interest in order to serve the interest of another. Jesus modeled the way.
60 – This teaching must never leave us focused on death. The whole point is life. In Christ, the cross precedes the resurrection. Death is the doorway into life.
61 – Christ's ways gradually mature me into life characterized by victory. Yes, there will be failures along the way. We grow into victory, not perfection.
62 – My failures offer me fresh chances to "die":
- I admit my failure. I confess. At least once a day is not too often.
- I repent.
- I choose to trust God's Word that I am "in Christ".
- I move forward relying on Him.
63 – "That I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death" (Philippians 3:10).

Henderson is not only the second most populous city in Nevada, but also a great place for seniors to have some outdoor fun. Due to it being a large city with desert and mountainous regions so close by, there are many outdoor activities of all different kinds. Henderson elderly care experts offer a few suggestions your senior loved one may enjoy.
Many seniors still have the skills to ride a bike, and this activity can increase coordination, balance, and dexterity. One of the best places to bike in Henderson is the River Loop Mountains Trail. This 35-mile trail circles the edge of the mountains, providing a beautiful view of the local scenery. Of course, your loved one does not have to ride the entire trail, but going a small distance may be manageable.
Hot Springing
Depending upon your loved one's strength and ability to climb safely, hot springing can be a great activity. In the cliffs just outside Henderson are numerous hot springs he or she can enjoy both in warm and cool weather. Reaching the high point of the springs, however, does require a hike and climbing a ladder. If your loved one would prefer mellower activities, he or she can kayak or canoe down the beautiful Colorado River to hot springs located closer to level ground.
Hiking at Valley of Fire
This state park, named for its giant red sandstone formations, is an excellent place to hike and view the sights. It also contains beautiful landscapes since it is located in the Mojave Desert. Your loved one can see ancient trees and hieroglyphic carvings and paintings thought to be 3,000 years old. Both unguided and guided tours are available, and the park has a large visitor's center with many interpretive displays of the hieroglyphics.
Henderson boasts an amazing 10 golf courses conveniently located around the city. Each of the golf courses has a unique layout and different scenery. If your loved one is a serious golfer, the Best Western offers a combination package where he or she can golf at more than one course for an affordable rate.
Visiting the Wetlands
Perhaps the last thing you might expect in the desert, the Henderson/Las Vegas area is home to The Springs Preserve. This preserve has upwards of 180 acres, including a wetland trail where walkers can learn about the history of nature in the area. Along the trail, your loved one can see animals, unique habitats, and beautiful views. The park also has more than one botanical garden featuring some of the beautiful flora of the area. The preserve even has outdoor events and concerts once in a while.
Taking a Tour of the Cactus Garden
The Ethel M. Chocolate Factory and Cactus Garden is an interesting place to visit. In addition to eating some tasty homemade chocolates, your loved one can take a guided or unguided tour of the cactus garden. Guides will talk about a cactus's life cycle and how these unique desert plants thrive. Entry into the Cactus Garden is free, which can be great if your loved one is on a budget.
Spending time outdoors can help boost your loved one's physical and mental wellbeing. If you are looking for other ways to achieve this, a professional caregiver can help. For part-time and 24-hour care Henderson families trust, turn to Home Care Assistance. Our caregivers can assist with a wide variety of daily tasks, and all of our senior care services are backed with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. For more information, call one of our friendly Care Managers at (702) 527-7723 to schedule a free consultation.

Intel Demos Eight-Core PC Motherboard
LAS VEGAS—Intel is showing private demos of an eight-core PC system at CES 2007 that's been dubbed "V8." Consisting of two Xeon quad-core processors built onto an Intel workstation motherboard, the system offers eight cores inside a large, WATX chassis.
Components for the configuration are orderable today from resellers like Newegg, while fully configured systems can be bought online from GamePC.com, Intel said. Intel engineers also posted a sign indicating a 3DMark 2006 CPU score of 6,058. The system uses a 1,330-MHz front-side bus.
Although GamePC.com wasn't specifically advertising V8 systems on its web site at press time, the company's GPW-771E workstations range from $4,083 to $9,493.
AMD was first to offer a desktop PC system with two sockets, the 4x4 or QuadFX, comprising two dual-core AMD Athlon 64 X2 chips mounted on a motherboard, one dual-core chip per socket. But tests of the systems based on QuadFX proved that the platform was power-hungry.
Intel isn't suggesting that V8 will be a common system for desktop systems; instead the company is pointing out that customers who like the Core 2 architecture can build or buy a dual quad-core CPU system today, if they wanted.

Sen. Claire McCaskill on Thursday touted the Senate healthcare reform bill by taking a dig at former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's new book.
McCaskill (D) said if the bill was printed in regular size font, it would be the same length as Palin's (R) memoir Going Rogue: An American Life "but with more meat on the bone." She tweeted:
If we printed the health care bill in regular size font it would be same legnth as Sarah Palin's book, but with more meat on the bone.
The Senate healthcare bill is 2,074 pages long. Palin's book is 413 pages long with 16 pages of photographs.
If, by meat, McCaskill means pork, abortion money, or political favors, then yes.

One man, backed by many, marches on Washington to tell lawmakers and the world that 'there is hope right beneath our feet.'
Just over a week ago, the executive director of the Rodale Institute, Mark 'Coach' Smallwood, set out from the group's research farm in eastern Pennsylvania on a 160-mile journey to Washington, DC with a walking stick, a brimmed hat, and a simple but profound message: We can not only stop climate change. We can reverse it.
When Smallwood makes his expected arrival in the nation's capital on October 16, he will deliver a Rodale white paper—titled Regenerative Organic Agriculture and Climate Change: A Down-to-Earth Solution to Global Warming (pdf)—to lawmakers alongside a broader message from a global coalition of organic farmers, scientists, and food justice advocates who argue that a global transformation in how the world grows its crops, manages its soil, and feeds its livestock is the key solution available to us that can best stop, even reverse, the growing and dangerous volumes of carbon and other greenhouse gases now pushing world's atmosphere and oceans beyond capacity.

Working from home (and IBM IMM, briefly)
All in all for the last 5 years I've worked exclusively from home, and prior to that it was on and off depending on circumstances, and so on. During this time I've often been asked the same sort of questions over and over again;
- "Is it lonely?"
- "How hard is it to motivate yourself? I don't think I could get stuff done!"
The first question I can understand. Sometimes you do need to see someone else, physically there in front of you, but to be frank, I've never been a great social animal, which probably helps massively. Second I speak with the other guys that I work with quite a lot during the day (unless I've got my head stuck in a particularly complex project or issue). We use Skype, our VoIP phone system and an internal IRC server to communicate. We joke, we talk movies, share stupid links occasionally, everything you'd get in a normal office - just with a bit of geographical distance. Often people find this quite hard to grasp when I explain this.
To a certain extent I can understand the view point of the second question; It can be hard sometimes. However (and this is the big secret to working at home) if you love your job, to the point that you'd probably be doing the same sort of things if you were unemployed, then working from home shouldn't be any harder for you than working in an office. If you're not in the same boat as me, which is loving your job, then you're right getting motivated would be frakking hard work.
However, there is a bit of a downside with working from home, and that is simply balancing work and home life. I won't pretend that I have the answers to this one, because honestly I don't. I'm very bad at separating what I'm told should be 2 different ways of life. However, part of the problem is that I do have to do a reasonable amount of stuff outside of the normal 9-5 hours. Sometimes it's hard to perform maintenance on systems when the customers you're working for don't always have the financial, or other, capacity to build highly available systems.
So why the post? Partially I felt that I didn't really have anything interesting to write about from work. There's some stuff about the "new" IBM IMM (Integrated Management Module) that I've only just had the opportunity to play with, since we've not put any new servers in for sometime. At the end of the day by standard IMM is nice, but you really need the Virtual Media Key to make the most of it (which provides remote presence, and remote media features) - which for about £200 is totally worth it and necessary if you've used other fully featured remote management/lights out cards in the past.
The other reason is that I was reading an old copy of .NET magazine that I've half-inched from Chris where the 37Signals partner David Heinemeier Hansson has a page (once you remove the images) article about the worth ethic being 37Signals. One of which is that he believes workaholics should be fired, and he explains why. Great article and interesting to see how creative companies work. I just struggle to see many people in my line of work, and similar ones, that aren't workaholics, simply because they really love what they do. But does that make us workaholics?

Icons and Idols: A Photographer's Chronicle of the Arts 1960-1995
The Myrtle Beach Art Museum has several new exhibits opening next month, one of which is Icons and Idols: A Photographer's Chronicle of the Arts from 1960 to 1995, featuring the work of Jack Mitchell. The exhibit, containing 137 of Mitchell's photographs, starts Sunday, January 2, 2013 and ends Sunday, March 17, 2013.
Mitchell's photographs of visual and performing artists have appeared on the covers of and in numerous publications such as Rolling Stone, The New York Times, Newsweek, Time, Life, Vogue, Elle, Harpers Bazaar, Vanity Fair, and more. His photograph of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, taken weeks before Lennon's death, held the record as the best-selling cover for People Magazine for over 16 years.
Arts magazine described Mitchell's portraits as "the first time a contemporary photographer has photographed artists as individuals possessing character and identification not expressed exclusively through their art works. They are pictured as subjects themselves and not merely artifacts of secondary importance to their art."
The Franklin G. Burroughs-Simeon B. Chapin Art Museum is located at 3100 South Ocean Boulevard, across from Springmaid Pier, in Myrtle Beach, 29577. Gallery hours for the Icons and Idols exhibit are from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays and from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Sundays. Admission is free, but donations are welcome. For more information, visit the art museum's website here.

Care and Planting Instructions
Rosemary likes dry to average, well-drained soil. Space plants 18-24" apart. It prefers a sheltered position such as on the south or southwest side of a wall or foundation. It tolerates part shade, but the flavor of the plant may be weakened if it doesn't get enough sun. Easy to grow, it does not require extra watering. Plant height is 12-18".
In the summer, fertilize plants after the flowers have appeared. Keep trimmed for a more lush appearance. Prune the plants after flowering. As with all varieties of Rosemary, it performs very well in pots and may be brought indoors for winter use. Drought tolerant.
Attracts honeybees and butterflies. Deer resistant, repels carrot flies outdoors and moths indoors.
Rosemary, Lockwood de Forest
rosmarinus officinalis 'Lockwood de Forest'
Lockwood de Forest Rosemary is known for its dark green foliage and lavender flowers. When used in pots, containers or baskets its unique cascading habit softens the edge and draws the eye. Blooms repeatedly. Great in rock gardens!

Perfect Quilt
NOTE: Opened Music, Pattern & Instructional CDs, DVDs,
Videos, Computer Software are NOT returnable.
If you are looking for MacIntosh software, look at Quilt-Pro 5 for the Mac.
Perfect Quilt
How do you introduce a software program to the quilting market and not have to reinvent the wheel? Jenny Haskins did just that by teaming with Quilt-Pro Systems and reintroducing a wonderful software under her new brand name Perfect Quilt Expressions Quilting Software Modules. This line consists of 5 outstanding modules: Perfect Quilt, Perfect Quilt Express, Easy Strip Piecing, Mariners Compass Collection, and 1200 Classic Foundations.
Perfect Quilt Expressions Modules are a union between two outstanding companies:
As you read this review, keep in mind that Perfect Quilt is a reincarnation of Quilt-Pro 5 and if you have read any of my past review of Quilt-Pro, this one look quite a bit like the others. As I looked very closely at the new Perfect Quilt, I noted that it kept all of Quilt-Pro's easy-to-use operations creating a quick learning curve for previous users of Quilt-Pro. This includes the file structure and file extensions creating an added bonus of allowing files to be shared between Quilt-Pro owners** and Quilt-Perfect owners. **In my experiments, I would come up a little error or two, but the Quilt-Pro block would, after a few clicks, open in Perfect Quilt.
Quilt Perfect offers traditional and innovative quilter wonderful tools to work in the style of their choice. Quilt Perfect's help files make learning fast and easy. Navigation through the Perfect Quilt using Wizards and feature-rich right click menus streamline access to many strong features like layers and simplify setup for each project.
Perfect Quilt has two types of screens, one for drawing blocks or quilts and one for automatic quilt layout. Perfect Quilt has the ability to have multiple screens for both the Block and Quilt Layout open at the same time (see example.) This gives the user the ability to work on multiple ideas without having to close and open screens .
The Color Palette can be docked at the bottom of the screen (docked at the bottom of the screen is Sharla's favorite choice) OR, the color palette can also float like the fabric palette does shown in the previous example. (More on fabric palette to follow)
Perfect Quilt holds true to the standard Window options we have come to expect in software. Perfect Quilt maximizes menus by using the drop-down menus, side flyout menus, dialogue boxes and right click mouse access to menus. Perfect Quilt has streamlined the top menu bar so that you go to the File Menu to open all Files. (See example) Here you will find multiple options like New, Open, Open Recent, Browse, Save Palettes, Save and much more for Quilts, Blocks, Borders, Sashes, Color Palettes, and Fabric Palettes.
The Edit menu (undo, cut, copy, paste, select all, duplicate) is available to both the quilt and block screens. My favorite selection is the undo up to 10 times feature.
For the Block, Quilt and Screen options use the Wizards with multiple Tabs to guide you through set up for each. The example shows the quilt layout dialogue box.
The work space (screen view area) has an option to Show or Hide the Tool Bar, Fabric Palette, and Color Palette depending on your needs and the right click menus allow you quick access without having to go to the top menus to make changes. Preferences allow the setup of large, medium or small Tools Bar to meet your visual or workspace needs. Fabric and Floating Color palettes can be resized.
Streamlined access to Wizards makes automatic quilt layout the star feature of Perfect Quilt . It has the ability to include multiple borders, inner and outer sash, and many layout options including an outstanding medallion quilt layout. The Quilt Wizard in Perfect Quilt has tabs for Layout, Size, Medallion, Borders, Sashes, Binding and Layers that lead you right through the process of selecting all your quilt layout options from beginning to finish.
Binding Options are Straight, French or Bias binding and can be added to any quilt layout.
Below view the Quilt Layout Types and Block Placement options. Nice is the addition of the Freeform Layout (a multi-sized block layout feature) like the one below where you can add a block in any arrangement or size you wish. This style of quilt is used often in the Country Style quilt with multiple borders.
A nice perk to the Perfect Quilt's Quilt Layout is the 1 click block drop. Once you select a block in the Block Browser or Library all you need to do is click on the Quilt Layout and the block inserts its.
Quilts with Borders added
2 Straight Block Layout created using the Rotate Block Tool
and a Free Form Quilt Layout for custom sized blocks
Hexagon and Baby Block Layout
No borders added
The operation methods in the Draw screen are very similar to regular graphic programs on the market with the addition of built-in quilt features that make quilting software more friendly when drawing patches for blocks and is the real reason to buy a quilt a quilt program. Blocks can be drawn with geometric shapes or using appliqué and the helpful layering option. This is a truly rich program for drawing blocks.
Perfect Quilt Tools Bar has 44 tools used to aide in drawing a block or assist in quick browsing through blocks, scanned photos and fabric palettes. The Tools include zoom tools, coloring tools, rotary cutter, patches, rotate arrows, edit tool, text tool, tape measure, grain lines, align marker, and grid tools. To help you identify each tool, hover the mouse over the icon and a text block will appear that identifies the tool.
Use the Text Tool to open the Enter Text dialogue box. Create documentation, quilt labels, lettering and more for a block or quilt. The background can be a solid or fabric fill. Font type, style, and size can be personalized.
The rotary cutter allows you to slice up patches, similar to using a rotary cutter on fabric.
Perfect Quilt has an alignment marker tool that will help with alignment of patches when drawing a block as well as when printing, cutting and piecing. Also find the ability to add a grain line that can be added when printing templates.
To round out the Tools Bar functionality Quilt Perfect has optional functions tied to the Tools for rotating tools at the bottom of the Tools Bar for easy access and quick changes. These options appear when options are part of the tool. (Note the Angle, Horizontal, and Vertical options at the bottom of the Tools Bar.)
Drawing in Perfect Quilt does not require a closed patch like many of the other quilting programs. This option allows the line, arc and bezier curve tools to be used to create patches when joined (a separate function) or act as quilt lines on the blocks, great when creating stencils. Adding to the flexibility of drawn patches is the ability to select line width, color or style with dash, solid or dotted. These options allow you to create dashed lines that can look very much like a quilting stitch.
The Patch Stamp tool brings you a prebuilt library of common geometric and appliqué shapes. The Patch Stamp dialogue box shows what has already been drawn and you can save new stamps to the library of stamps. Simply select one and draw it on the screen.
The Round Arranger is new in Perfect Quilt and can be found under the Effects Menu. It allows you to take any design and see what it will look like arranged around a circle. Flexibility is added to the setup options by allowing you determine how many designs to set, create an off set, add more than one ring, and determine the angle of the layout. The Round Arranger is wonderful for creating appliqué and wreath designs. Use geometric shapes to create kaleidoscope effects.
Make a wreath from patches using the Round Arranger
Included are 7 different grids for helping you create blocks. Check out the circle and 8-point star grids, pretty nifty! Perfect Quilt also has the ability to create and save your own custom grid from a drawing on the Block screen. Add powerful snap-to options like Snap-to Point, Snap-to Line and Snap-to Grid and the auto alignment for setting patches how and where you want are as good as any paint and draw program out there.
Quilt Perfect Effects Menu give you powerful drawing tools that are usually found in the big gun programs like Corel Draw and Adobe Illustrator.
Draw foundation blocks that can be numbered using the Foundation Wizard for sewing sequence, sectioning and printing with accurate seam allowance size of your choice.
For additional information about how Perfect Quilt draws, refer to the resource section that includes Perfect Quilt Hints and Tips by Frank Smith and more.
Those familiar with graphic programs will find learning Perfect Quilt very easy.
For the rest of you, the Perfect Quilt Assistant allows instant access to rich how-to information. When the Perfect Quilt Assistant is achieved by a mouse click on any tool or menu item and the help file instantly jumps to the relevant topic. (See next example.) This new mouse activated assistant eliminates the need to search through content indexes that often turn up dead-end searches because you do not know the correct keyword or phrase. It is optional to have the Assistant on the screen. Close the dialogue box to optimize the screen size and quickly reopen with a click of the ? in the top menu bar.
Another valuable Assistant function is small video clips for some drawing tools. For those you who do better by seeing than by reading, these little clips will certainly fill the bill.
Help is enhanced with optional Hints & Tips pop-ups that can be turned off when it is no longer of benefit in the learning curve. For example after drawing a patch, the following pop-up will appear indicating possible choices for proceeding.
To add to the ease of learning Perfect Quilt 's menus follow the usual standard Windows fare with commands like duplicate, copy, paste, select all, and when function requires you will also find quilt buzz words like grid, quilt wizard, rotary cutting charts and more.
The on-screen Tools Bar, color and fabric palettes are graphically descriptive and makes it obvious most of the time where to go for what. Perfect Quilt does have some functions tied to the right mouse button for easy access that are not always as obvious, this is where the Perfect Quilt Assistant fills a gap by telling you when a right click menu may be necessary. I would suggest when you think a tool should do more, it probably will and I suggest using the right click to see.
The help is well written. If you use the Internet, there is an online help manual.
Background Trace Screen
Perfect Quilt has the ability to import a bitmap into the background of the Block Screen that can be used to trace/draw landscapes, portraits, and other sources of inspiration.
The trace option allows the creation of very complex designs in Perfect Quilt that can become templates, blocks, quilts and printed out as needed.
Perfect Quilt exports blocks as usable vector images to vector based programs like Corel DRAW, Freehand, and Adobe Illustrator and similar software. And, the block or quilt can be copied to the clipboard that can be pasted into other programs like Word for Clipart.
Below are some images created in CorelDraw from an original Perfect Quilt Quilt. To see how the export feature works, refer to Sharla Hicks' article, Import Quilts created in Perfect Quilt to CorelDRAW or Corel PhotoPaint to add innovative Coloring and Distortions.
Original Quilt from Perfect Quilt
Envelope in CorelDRAW
You can e-mail your friends Perfect Quilt folders by saving the file as a packet file. A packet file is a special Perfect Quilt or Quilt-Pro owners file that compresses the block or quilt and fabrics into one file that you can e-mail. The person receiving the file must have also have Perfect Quilt or Quilt-Pro to open and view the file. Wow, this is fun option for participating in round robins and group projects. For additional information about helpful resource look at the following Quilt-Pro files click here.
The new Scanning Wizard makes scanning your favorite fabrics or photos a breeze. If you are familiar with a scanner interfaces with a program, Perfect Quilt is the similar. Plus, for the more novice scanner user, Perfect Quilt 's hands-on Scanning Wizard takes you step-by-step through each step of interface needed to proceed. Then Perfect Quilt automatically saves your fabrics in the fabric, embroidery design or photo library folders.
|In the Block/Draw Screen, use the Text Tool to add any notes that you wish to include directly with the printout of a Block or Quilt. This option is very helpful for teachers who want to create a handout from drawn patches. There is no limitations on the amount of text that can be placed in the text box or the number of text boxes that you can add. Each text box can be customized with font, font size, borders and color inside the box.
Perfect Quilt includes enhanced Template Wizard for Print Preview and the ability to arrange Templates to fit optimally on page BEFORE printing.
The block printing options includes custom size, templates (with variable seam allowance options), foundation piecing and the ability to print across multiple pages if block size is larger than paper size.
Templates can be individually selected for printing. A small diagram of the block in the print window makes this very easy to do. For a block with repetitive patches, Perfect Quilt can automatically select one of each repetitive patch for printing allowing you to save paper and printer ink.
Foundation Piecing options includes the ability to section a block into piecing sections that can then be constructed into a whole block. Blocks can be flip vertically, horizontally, or mirrored/reversed (for iron-on). Foundation block or sections can be automatically numbered in the order that the pieces where drawn which at times is not correct and then you will want to use the tool that allows you to modify the number order. Perfect Quilt automatically determines how many patterns will fit on a page and inform how many pages are required to print out the foundation pattern.

I just received the latest copy of the Handcock's of Paducah catalog and I was shocked to see how busy I've been!
There is no other explanation. According to the recent Hancock's of Paducah catalog I have accomplished WAY more than I realized. Obviously I am working in my sleep. I mean if I had been awake at the time, you would think I would have remembered designing the line of Desert batiks.
It is possible that the nice people at Hancock's gave me credit for something I didn't do. I did design a quilt using those 10 batiks (a quilt which is not featured in the catalog) but I didn't design the fabric prints.
I did design the quilt on page 38 using the Tonga Batiks in the indigo shades. They don't mention my name, but they do have a nice "photo" of the quilt. That alone is pretty miraculous considering that I just put the final stitches in the binding of that quilt earlier this evening.
Wow, those Hancock guys are good, they managed to print the photo in the catalog before I finished the quilt! I don't blame them, that quilt is going to be extremely popular. The blue and white prints are crisp and clean and the pattern is very easy to make.
Actually, the Hancock "guys" are extremely nice people. Someone on their staff just took a few liberties with a computer generated image that I created before I started the quilt. I didn't even know that they had a copy of the crude printout I had created for the New York office. Thank goodness I didn't make any changes to the original design! Can you imagine if they ran this photo, offering the pattern and I had decided to make a star quilt instead?
Those little gremlins in catalog production hadn't finished their mischief yet. On pages 34 & 35 I was thrilled to see them feature our Daybreak and popular Jungle Fever patterns. But just above those photos I was a bit shocked to see that I was also given credit for designing their Building Blocks project! I didn't design that project, and I am not sure who did, but I hope that they understand that I had nothing to do with the mix up. I know I would be crushed if I was anxiously waiting to see my things in print and they were attributed to someone else!
I've been busy, but not THAT busy. After all, I'm still loosing 7 hours a week to running down hill! You and all the other runners in the park will be happy to know that I now have a pair of running pants that don't need suspenders!

Hello, lovely readers, sorry for being MIA for so many days, I was really busy with a lot of both personal and official work. Well its better late than never, so here I am with a very easy and interesting recipe for making fish fingers at home. The ingredients I used are as follow:-
500 grams Basa fish (a type of cat fish), One and half table spoon corn flour or you can also use refined flour/maida, Half tea spoon turmeric and red chilly powder, salt to taste.
For the outer coating, I pan roasted few slices of bread and then grinded it in the electric Grinder, your perfect bread crumb is ready (Grinding roasted bread make the Bread Crumbs powdery and non-sticky)
Take a pan heat some water and put the pieces of the fish and let it boil for some time, put few drops of lemon juice to it as it shall help to dispel the fishy smell to a great extent. Let the water evaporate completely. Let it cool down for some time, remove the skin and fish bones if there is any and crumble it with clean hands and keep it aside.
Take one large onion, few green chilies, five to six cloves of garlic and one medium size ginger. Grind all the ingredients and mix it with the crumble fish.
Add one table spoon bread crumbs, one table spoon corm flour, turmeric red chilly powder and salt to it.
Mix the entire ingredient nicely with the fish mixture and take small portions or as according to your wish and make finger shapes using your palm.
Take a bowl, break one egg (Though I didn't use egg as my husband doesn't like it very much, but adding egg helps in binding with the bread crumbs.) little salt and red chilly powder, dip the fish fingers and then roll it on the bread crumbs.
Heat Oil in a pan and fry the fish fingers in batched till golden brown. Turn it from time to time. And your crispy fried Fish Fingers are ready to devour with some tomato Ketchup and Mayonnaise. Thanks for reading and shall be happy to read your feedback.
