Communion of the Sick
The Minister begins
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Philippians 1:2
The Minister continues
Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy Name; through Christ our Lord. Amen.
A Psalm may be prayed. Psalms , , and are particularly appropriate.
One of the following Gospel lessons is read, or the readings appropriate to the day
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16
Jesus said, "I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh." For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.
John 6:51, 55-56
Reflection on the lessons may follow.
The minister may say the confession and the sick person joins in as able.
Most merciful God,
we confess that we have sinned against you
in thought, word and deed,
by what we have done, and by what we have left undone.
We have not loved you with our whole heart;
we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.
We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.
For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ,
have mercy on us and forgive us;
that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways,
to the glory of your Name. Amen.
A Priest, if present, says
Almighty God, our heavenly Father, who in his great mercy has promised forgiveness of sins to all those who sincerely repent and with true faith turn to him, have mercy upon you, pardon and deliver you from all your sins, confirm and strengthen you in all goodness, and bring you to everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
A Deacon or lay person prays
Grant your faithful people, merciful Lord, pardon and peace; that we may be cleansed from all our sins, and serve you with a quiet mind; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Minister The peace of the Lord be always with you.
People And with your spirit.
Minister Let us pray.
Minister and People
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass
against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
forever and ever. Amen.
Then may be said
Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world,
have mercy on us
Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world,
have mercy on us
Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world,
grant us your peace
The minister may say
The body of our Lord Jesus Christ, which was given for you, preserve your body and soul to everlasting life.
The blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, which was shed for you, preserve your body and soul to everlasting life.
After Communion, the minister says
Almighty and ever-living God,
we thank you for feeding us, in these holy mysteries,
with the spiritual food of the most precious Body and Blood
of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ;
and for assuring us, through this Sacrament, of your favor and goodness towards us;
and that we are true members of the mystical body of your Son,
the blessed company of all faithful people;
and are also heirs, through hope, of your everlasting kingdom.
And we humbly ask you, heavenly Father,
to assist us with your grace,
that we may continue in that holy fellowship,
and do all such good works as you have prepared for us to walk in;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
to whom with you and the Holy Spirit,
be all honor and glory, now and forever. Amen.
A Priest gives this blessing
The peace of God which passes all understanding keep your hearts and minds in the knowledge and love of God, and of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord; and the blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be among you, and remain with you always. Amen.
A Deacon or lay person says the following
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us all evermore. Amen.
2 Corinthians 13:14
Minister Let us bless the Lord.
People Thanks be to God.

Lending equipment and supplies to other departments and sometimes to other hospitals is a standard procedure for medical professionals, but one which is not always easy to manage. LendMed, a US based start-up, is trying to turn this difficulty into an opportunity by creating a digital lending network.
Through LendMed, it is possible to lend and borrow almost everything, from large medical equipment to standard patient devices, pharmaceuticals and disposable items. The system takes care of all logistical aspects, ensuring that items are properly and securely delivered.
It is possible to manage LendMed status via an app and a web portal, as well as from kiosks installed by the company. There, a dashboard offers administrators a clear view of their operations: number of lent items, number of borrowed items, value of items lent, etc.
In a more and more demanding regulatory environment, tracking data making it possible to know what is circulating may be LendMed's key feature.

When drafting a distribution agreement, the parties should ensure that each party has the right to terminate the agreement under certain circumstances. These may be broad and general in nature such as termination upon the material breach of the agreement or upon default of the parties. The provisions may also be specific to the agreement and the parties to it.
The article describes a supplier that was given the right to terminate the distribution agreement if the distributor's current chairman of the board died, suffered from a permanent incapacity, or ceased to be involved in the business of the distributor. This type of clause is inserted for the benefit of the supplier so that if the distributor incurs a change of control which the supplier does not endorse, the supplier is not required to continue the agreement with such new change of control. Although it may be important to incorporate some language specific to the parties' needs, generally, broad termination provisions should also be included.
Read article here
Take away:
- Parties should include termination provisions which are tailored to their needs.
- The supplier will want to ensure that their distributor is giving focused attention on the distribution of their product, and may specifically want to approve the individuals responsible for distribution.

_Team Babbitt's Monster Energy TiLUBE Kawasaki Presented by Maxxis Tires Race Report Council Bluffs 2011 - News Release
MUSKEGON , Mi. (March 19,2011) - Babbitts Motor Sports Racing(r) - With the 2011 AMA Arenacross series winding down, the tour travelled to Council Bluffs, Iowa, where the Babbitt's Monster Energy TiLUBE Kawasaki presented by Maxxis Tires Team had both a good and bad weekend. The good part was that Tyler Bowers would win both nights' main events (his seventh and eighth straight); now establishing a 46 points lead over Jeff Gibson in second. Tyler would come from the back to take the lead on the final lap in Friday's racing; while on Saturday night he moved to first quickly; before checking out for the win. Unfortunately Chad Johnson would have to overcome several crashes to ride in "salvage points" mode; while Gray Davenport competed with an injured back from a Thursday crash.
Friday night started out excellent for the Babbitt's Monster Energy TiLUBE Kawasaki presented by Maxxis Tires team as Chad Johnson took the first heat race win, and Gray Davenport finished fifth. Tyler Bowers would then take the win in heat race two; setting the team up nicely for the main event. The main event began with Johnson taking a top three start, Davenport back a few spots, and Bowers just inside the top ten. Soon, Johnson would move into the lead; unfortunately it would not last as he would slide out in one of the turns. While all this was happening Bowers began scratching his way through the pack, and moving forward. As the race was winding down, Bowers closed in on the leaders, and in dramatic fashion he would take first on the last lap; taking his seventh straight win! Johnson would regroup for fifth; while Davenport crossed the line in ninth. "It's the only lap that matters" was Bowers comments immediately after the main referencing his last lap pass for the lead. Talking about his night, Chad Johnson said "I had a good start, was in second, and then first, but then I crashed. I felt like I rode strong all night, and my Maxxis tires really hooked me up. I made it back up to fifth, but overall I'm pretty disappointed". "I got a top ten start, and soon worked my way into sixth. Then I tried to put a move on Willy Browning but ended up going down; eventually I worked my way back up into the top ten" added Davenport.
Saturday night's racing started off with all three riders in the first heat race. Tyler Bowers would end up winning; with Chad Johnson in second and Gray Davenport in fifth. Later Bowers would also win the "Dash for Cash" race. Almost an opposite start from Friday night, Bowers would get off the gate well; with both Johnson and Davenport hovering around mid-pack. Tyler would then make some moves early and take control of the race; winning by a comfortable margin! "Even with fighting off some kind of bug, I felt great on the bike, and felt as if I couldn't make a wrong decision on the track. The team and all the sponsors like TiLUBE and Maxxis did such a great job for us" explained Bowers. At the half way point, Johnson found some momentum and would work his way towards the front; eventually finishing fourth. "Yeah, I had a bad start Saturday, and I did all that I could to get into fourth" added Johnson. Commenting about his Saturday night, a disappointed Davenport said "I didn't have a very good start, but later Kevin Johnson and I had a good battle that was fun. Later, about lap fifteen I went down after a run in with a lapped rider - not the way that I wanted the night to go! Now I'm just putting this behind me and looking forward to the next race".
"It was both a good weekend and a bad one; of course Tyler winning both nights was awesome, but I'm disappointed for Chad. He just had some bad luck and lost some eight points to Gibson for second in the series - but I'm confident that he'll make them back up. Gray did well considering he had a crash on Thursday and messed up his back. Our support from Maxxis, TiLUBE, Kawasaki, Monster Energy, Pro Circuit, Motion Pro, and K & N has been awesome" added Team Manager Denny Bartz.
Now ranked first, third, and fifth in the Championship points, the team travels south to Verizon Arena in Little Rock, Arkansas for round 12. For more on the team, check out www.teambabbitts.com

What I want to share with you today is an excerpt from my presentation"Grow Your Business Online". I call it The Not-So-Secret Secrets that Google Wants You to Know About in regards to what you need to do with your website. Eighty percent of this presentation came directly from Google and the SBDC (Small Business Development Center) which is a partner with Google on helping local businesses get their Google Maps listings updated, and that's something that we do through the SBDC.
So as a part of that training program, they give you this presentation and say, "Here's what you need to go and share with businesses." So this is not based on my interpretation– this is directly from Google, the source.
The first thing you have to do on your website, and anything you do online, is answer the question, "How do you actually measure success?" A lot of times we think, "Oh, how many friends do I have? How many likes did I get? How much website traffic? Is the traffic going up? Going down?" That's interesting information sometimes, but that's not the end goal. Traffic isn't the goal. Customers is the goal. So we always have to remember, we want qualified prospects.
Everything that we do needs to be built around that. How do I get a qualified prospect? And is the site– is the social– is whatever we're doing, moving us towards getting a qualified prospect? These things might be interesting information in terms of traffic and subscribers and friend and followers in our total reach, but it's not necessarily the goal of what we're trying to accomplish. So this is a good reminder on that.
Google has really taken a mobile-first strategy in how they're doing everything now, because so much of the search has transitioned away from desktop to mobile. At the point that someone has a need, they grab the phone, they do the search. Google calls it a "zero moment of truth." How do you show up at that particular moment and those split-second decisions that people are making about your business?
These are just some stats that Google has. 80% of consumers use the search engine when looking for information about local businesses, 76% of people who search on their smartphones for something nearby visit a business within a day. So in terms of local business, what's happening on mobile is critically important. And how your business will show up on that mobile device really matters, and we'll talk about this, tips that they have for that.
Below is a typical search query– I'm using a bakery for this example. Someone puts in their search query and then this comes up. You can see has got the little word, "Ad" next to it. They used to be only on the top and on the side, but now they're only on the top now and on the bottom, so Google has actually made fewer ad options. You used to be able to spend a little less, by choosing to get an ad on the side, but now that's completely gone, so you have to compete with the top three spots and try to get there as an advertiser. But we can adjust that in the algorithms in our bidding, so you don't have to advertise. These are organic search results, so this is just the website, but this is the Google Maps listing over on the right.
So how do you get there? If you don't have the listing, or you don't have a login to go in and change it, then this is what you need to do: If you go to www.gybo.com/business, you can do a search for your business. Google will probably find it, and then give you the chance then to claim that listing. The way you claim it is through a verification, which is usually a direct phone call. It will call your business phone number, and as long as someone can answer that, it'll give you a six-digit code. You type in the code, and you're verified.
If you can't do it via phone, you can do it via a postcard that Google will send to you through the mail. So you'll say, "Send me the postcard." which will take about a week to get to you, and then you can go back in, type in the verification code, and you're verified. Once you do that, the information you want to appear is going to show up there. A lot of times, the information is out there, but it's the wrong information because you haven't claimed the listing and haven't updated it. So that's verification.
So what can you do once you're verified? You can edit all the info. You can add your hours and put in special hours if you're taking off holidays and things like that. The photos are really a big piece of this. People really look at the pictures. I don't know why. For some businesses it makes sense, but for other businesses where you would think they wouldn't care about seeing the pictures. But there's a dashboard in the back of analytics for this that shows how many people view pictures, how many people got directions, how many people made a call. It's all tracked in the back end of this. Updating the pictures makes it more relevant. It also helps improve the search results, because Google sees that you have a more updated listing than your competition, then Google will give you a little more preference.

Ah yes, creativity. A demon I've battled a lot in my life.
"I need to think of something."
In modern society we are under a lot of pressure to produce. A problem I find with that is that when your mind is constantly chugging along focusing on an endless list of tasks you rob yourself of the true bliss in just dwelling on nothing in particular. "What do clouds taste like?" "What language do cats think in?" It is in these moments of vacation from the stressful assembly line thought process that creation is freed from the shackles of production. When I am having difficulty thinking of something, I try to think of nothing at all. Do you ever have a zillion thoughts flying around in your head at once? It can be extremely stressful and taxing to keep track of where all these little thoughts are whizzing to. One thing I've learned to do in these situations is stop. When I get overwhelmed I stop everything I am doing, turn away from the task at hand and stare off into space. Not exactly a model for productivity eh? I used to do this without reason, my brain just became overloaded until it would practically float away. Being aware of my apparent uselessness as a producer of whatever, it made me feel inadequate and only fueled the cycle of anxiety. Now, I have learned to grant myself permission to daydream.
I think of my mind as a bare white room, and throughout the day objects move in and out of it. Objects of different shapes, sizes, colors, etc. These are my thoughts. The thoughts or objects that are most useful or interesting or appealing, etc, I tend to keep in the room the longest. After a while I collect more and more objects until the room is so cluttered nothing else can come in. This is when productivity and creativity come to a screeching halt. Before I would open a window or move stuff around in the room so as not to stifle the completion of tasks. But now I completely release myself from the mental assembly line, guilt free. Why? Because meaningless daydreaming makes the clutter disappear. After no time at all, I have a clean bare room. Now fresh new objects are free to enter again.
The point? Doing nothing may not feed productivity, but it is the blank canvas of creativity. At the end of the day are you more fulfilled when you have produced what is expected or when you have created something truly your own that can be invested in?

Legal Separation
In most states, couples with troubled marriages can file for a legal separation. A separation allows the couple to reach agreement on issues such as a division of property, child custody, and child support payments, without having to go through a full divorce case. In addition, certain issues can be submitted to a review by a court, or to mediation by a third party. Six states do not recognize legal separation: Delaware, Texas, Pennsylvania, Mississippi, Georgia, and Florida.
Separation vs. Divorce
Some couples decide on separation rather than divorce; their religious views may bar divorce, for example, or they may wish to keep certain benefits available only to a married couple, such as family health insurance. A spouse may still request court adjudication of certain issues if there are children involved and the parents are living apart. These issues include the division of property, child custody and visitation rights, as well as the amount of any child support payments.
Court Adjudication
Florida does provide for a so-called limited divorce, which is similar to legal separation in other states. You can request a limited divorce on the grounds of cruelty, desertion, and voluntary separation. In a limited divorce, a Florida court can establish the primary residence of the children, meaning the residence where the children spend most of their time. The court can also decide visitation rights of the noncustodial parent. To determine child support obligations, Florida requires that separated parents complete a form listing their income and resources, and calculating a support amount to be paid monthly by the noncustodial parent to the custodial parent.
Seeking a Full Divorce
These decisions do not preclude other actions that may be taken if the separation leads to a full divorce proceeding. If a divorce petition is eventually filed, the court can again take up the issues of visitation, custody and child support, as well as other agreements such as the division of property. If the couple does not proceed to a divorce, then they remain legally married and still subject to the rulings of the court. Consult a divorce attorney if you are unsure about which steps to take.

Chapter 524: The Stone Pond that Disappeared
Translator: Tim Editor: GlobeGlotter
"What is it?" Xu Yuehua quickly asked.
Ye Mo sneered and said, "They probably want us to finish moving all of Flowing Snake's factories first and then take over the place. Before that, they won't say anything and other countries would never do anything either. In fact, they might even offer to help us."
Xu Yuehua soon understood what Ye Mo meant. Luo Yue was in Flowing Snake and even if the US wanted it, they wouldn't dare take it. At Luo Yue City though, it was different. They had an excuse to come at any time.
Ye Mo didn't mind at all and said, "As long as they give us time, it will be easy for us. You should hurry the construction of the city, but don't worry about bringing the factories over yet. When Luo Yue City is about to finish, only then will we build the factories. Drag out the time, make it big and grandiose and build lots. Just make sure that the Americans don't suspect that we've seen through their plan. But first, you need to tell Yang Jiu and Fang Nan to increase security around the factories."
After guessing the US's intentions, Ye Mo actually calmed down. This wasn't a bad thing for him. He would use the time to cultivate and try to initiate a breakthrough. If the US invaded them, the real fighting power would be him, after all. It would be a joke to depend solely on the Luo Yue Army to stop them.
"Sister Yuehua, I'll leave this to you. I need to go out now, but I'll keep my phone on me, so if anything's up, just call me." Ye Mo wanted to find those 4 stones.
He also told Xu Yuehua to try and keep the scientists that might come, if they come at all. Ye Mo finally understood why the Black Sun Empire wanted to kidnap scientists.
At the same time as Ye Mo left, heated debate on Luo Yue City was held all over the world.
Aimore was a world class wealthy man and many people knew about the gravity of his disease. Many elite hospitals and doctors had declared his imminent death inevitable, yet after he spent a mere billion, he actually got cured in 3 hours. He was even 10 years younger! This was a miracle.
If anyone still felt suspicious about the matter, CBS's on-the-spot interview was the best evidence. According to the journalist, Aimore had called the expenditure the most worthy 1 billion dollars he had ever spent.
There were even reporters sent out to interview Luo Yue's CEO, Yu Miaodan.
Yu Miaodan's words were very simple, "This is the power of Luo Yue. As long as you believe in us, we will be able to show you miracles."
Many sick, wealthy people went to Luo Yue to look for a way to be treated at its Immortal Hospital, but the prices were simply too exorbitant. Average wealthy people couldn't afford it.
Although there very few people who could go for the treatment, that didn't mean there were none. Luo Yue City was seen more and more as a metaphysical and magical place. Many people even went to their website to check out the rules for becoming a resident.
How did you become a permanent resident? There were some requirements. For example, experts in special fields were welcomed especially. And there was one rule above all. Luo Yue City was not a haven for crime. Any criminals would be executed upon identification.
Despite the already severe requirements for joining Luo Yue, many people knew that it would only get more and more difficult in the future. It would be much easier to go at this time than later on.
What was the biggest news in the world? Luo Yue building a city, of course.
What was the biggest name in the world? Luo Yue Immortal Hospital, of course.
What was the biggest trend in the world? Joining Luo Yue City, of course.
All sorts of news about Luo Yue spread out. Eventually the name Luo Yue City was ignored, and instead, many people called it Luo Immortal City.
Ye Mo didn't go to the Mei Nei Snow Mountains right away. He went to the desert first. Since he had that photo, if he didn't go check it out, he wouldn't be able to sleep well.
Due to Luo Yue City, he was 1 month behind schedule.
The Taklimakan Desert was still the same as before, but Ye Mo's mood while being there was much different. Last time, he had been only stage 2 and surrounded by Qian Longtou's men, he was almost devoured by the desert, barely not dying of thirst.
Ye Mo landed inside a cave corroded by wind. He remembered this place clearly. It was in this cave that he reached stage 3 as he was nearing death.
Ye Mo had returned, and the cave was still there, but the yellow-dressed girl was not. Ye Mo stood in the cave for a long time and felt disappointed.
Ye Mo sighed and investigated the back of the cave. It was near the huge rock and pool of water that were there that he had given Luo Ying her birthday present. Although he didn't know that Susu was Luo Ying at the time, he had fallen in love with her nonetheless.
Now that he had come again, he was dazed. That huge rock was still there, but the rocky pond was gone. Who could possibly take away a stone pond in the desert?
He had given the stone pond to Luo Ying, yet now it had been taken away.
Ye Mo stood there, dazed and feeling empty, as though he had lost the most precious thing in the world.
Ye Mo suddenly thought, 'Who could have taken it away?' Other than Luo Ying knowing about it, who on earth could have found it?
"Susu…" Ye Mo whispered subconsciously. His master must have been here and taken the gift he had given her. It was definitely Luo Ying. Did she miss him? Why didn't she come looking for him?
Even though she was yellow level middle stage, he knew how hard it would have been to bring the stone pond from the desert. She wouldn't have found anyone to help her either. He really wondered how she had taken it away. Ye Mo's heart ached. It was as if he could imagine his master in her pale yellow dress, underneath the blazing sun in the endless desert, arduously pulling the stone pond.
So Luo Ying must have been there to take away the stone pond. Ye Mo felt as if his heart was struck by something hard. Luo Ying had also missed him a lot, but probably she thought that he was her brother and therefore didn't dare to see him.
This was all caused by Jing Xi, that old woman! Ye Mo's heart was filled with anger. Although he had already killed her, he didn't resent her any less.
After staying there for an entire day, Ye Mo left in sadness. No matter where she was, he would find Luo Ying.
Ye Mo didn't get on his flying sword. He just walked slowly across the endless desert. The autumn desert wasn't as hot as before, but it was more barren.
As the dusk sun shone on the desert, Ye Mo's shadow was stretched out very long. Nothing but his footsteps were left behind in the desert, emphasizing his loneliness.
Ye Mo stopped. He looked back at his lonely footsteps and suddenly understood that his was a path that only he dared walk in this world.
Ye Mo howled and was prepared to get on his flying sword, when suddenly, a familiar back appeared before his eyes.

Even by themselves, Medicare and Medi-Cal can be confusing and difficult to understand, but when a person tries to compare them, the lines get blurred. These programs are very different and not related. Knowing the benefits each program offers and how to qualify for these benefits can have a significant financial impact for you and your family, especially if long term care is needed.
What is Medicare?
Medicare is a federal program which provides basic health insurance to everyone age 65 and over and to people who are under 65 but are eligible for Social Security Disability benefits. It is not based on financial need. Medicare has four parts known as Parts A, B, C, and D. Part A is hospital insurance. Part B is medical insurance. Part C is Medicare Advantage, and Part D is prescription drug coverage.
Generally, people who are 65 or older and receiving Social Security, automatically qualify for Medicare Parts A and B. Part C is when you go through a provider for your health care services which can help you obtain additional benefits; however, this plan typically costs an additional monthly fee. In order to enroll in Part C, you must have Parts A and B. Part D is optional and requires the participant to complete a form and submit it to his or her insurer.
Medicare does not pay for all medical expenses and usually must be supplemented with private insurance (also known as "Medigap") or you can enroll in a HMO insurance than contracts with Medicare. The costs that an individual pays in Medicare costs is based on the amount of time a person paid Medicare taxes from their pay check.
One of biggest drawback of Medicare is that it does not cover long term care with a very minor exception. After a minimum 3-day hospital stay, Medicare will pay for 100% of the first 20 days of skilled nursing care. For days 21-100, the patient will pay a considerable co-pay, which is currently about $167.50 per day. Furthermore, a patient must be making progress while in the skilled nursing facility. Once the patient stops making progress, Medicare stops paying. Medicare coverage for the skilled nursing facility ends on day 101.
It should be noted that Medicare will only pay for skilled nursing services and will not pay for custodial care, which is the type of care normally received in an assisted living facility. Therefore, Medicare cannot be relied on to pay for substantial nursing home care.
What is Medi-Cal?
Medi-Cal is a federal and California state program that helps pay for medical care for individuals that meet income and asset requirements. Although Medi-Cal recipients may receive Medicare, the Medi-Cal program is not related to the Medicare program. Medi-Cal is a need-based program.
Medi-Cal does pay for long term care, but the patient may have to pay a portion of the costs depending on their financial situation. Qualifying and applying for Medi-Cal is a complicated process, which is why it is recommended that you consult with a Medi-Cal planning attorney before submitting an application to Medi-Cal, especially if the applicant owns a home. A skilled Medi-Cal planning lawyer can help you protect your assets from Medi-Cal claims as well as remove them from the assets that Medi-Cal will look to for qualification purposes.
Why Do I Hear People Mention Medicaid?
Medicaid is a joint federal-state program which provides, among other things, long-term care for seniors. Medi-Cal is what the federal Medicaid program is called in California. Thus, Medicaid and Medi-Cal are essentially the same thing.
What's important to remember is that you can protect your assets with proper Medi-cal planning, including the use of certain types of trusts. The sooner you see a Medi-cal planning attorney, the more assets you'll be able to protect. Don't wait for a crisis.

Summer gardens mean all that hard work you have done is finally paying off with veggies to eat and put up. But what happens when you have so much and don't know what to do with it all?
I love giving some to our local food bank, neighbors and family for them to enjoy too. But it still seems there is a bounty yet to be picked.
One of my favorite summer recipes to make is Squash Casserole. I prefer cooked squash more so than raw squash and zucchini and this is a perfect way to use them up. I like to make a double batch of this casserole, save one for us to eat on and the rest to go into small foil pans for the freezer to enjoy later. This casserole is so perfect for Thanksgiving.
When I make this for family or company coming for dinner, I will use the regular ingredients in the recipe below. But for us, because we eat so much of it sometimes, I will use low-fat mayo, cheese, and sour cream. Hubby hasn't figured out I lighten up yet. hehe
- 1 1/2 pounds of yellow squash cut into slices
- 1 1/2 pounds of zucchini cut into slices
- 1/4 cup butter divided
- 2 cups of diced onion
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 3 cups of corn kernels fresh or can
- 1 1/2 cups of Cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 large eggs lightly beaten
- 2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups of breadcrumbs divided
- Preheat oven 350 degrees. Melt 1/2 of butter in the skillet and cook squash, zucchini, and onion until crispy tender. Stir in garlic and cook for a couple minutes more.
- Turn off the stove and stir in corn, and next ingredients using only 1/2 cup of the breadcrumbs, until well blended. Spoon mixture into a 9 x 13 baking dish.
- Melt the other half of butter and stir in 1 cup of breadcrumbs until well coated. Spread mixture over top of casserole.
- Bake for 45 to 60 minutes until golden brown. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving.
If you don't want to use butter to saute the veggies, I use just a little bit of olive oil. I also use Lite cheese, sour cream and mayo to keep down the fat. You need a little bit of fat in this casserole for it to cook well.
I have also only used squash in this recipe.
Items I used to make this:
8 x 8 casserole dish
Slotted Spoon
Small foil pans

Volunteer Monitor Program
Approved by the ARRL Board of Directors at its July 2018 meeting, the new Volunteer Monitor program is a formal agreement between the FCC and ARRL in which volunteers trained and vetted by the ARRL will monitor the airwaves and collect evidence that can be used both to correct misconduct or recognize exemplary on-air operation. Cases of flagrant violations will be referred to the FCC by the ARRL for action in accordance with FCC guidelines.
The intent of this program is to re-energize enforcement efforts in the Amateur Radio bands. It was proposed by the FCC in the wake of several FCC regional office closures and a reduction in field staff.
Under this program, the FCC will give enforcement priority to cases developed by the Volunteer Monitor program, without the delay of ARRL having to refer cases through the FCC online complaint process.
Candidates who posess the required skills are encouraged to apply using the application below. Applications will be reviewed and candidates notified.

It could be lack of lime, but it could also be either left over damage from winter cold or a lack of sunight. Do you prune your conifers? If you do, you may have pruned the top too wide. If you do not, they may need to be pruned a bit to allow more sun to the lower branches.

Star Struck Parents (heart) Maddox Jolie
What would YOU do if Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie brought one of their brood to YOUR school? It seems that the wealthy parents that bring their kids to the Lycee School have been hounding the Pitt/Jolie group. surprised?
"I'm sure you are aware the school has received much media attention recently during the arrival and dismissal times because of the presence of celebrities Ms. Angelina Jolie and/or Mr. Brad Pitt. I want to make you aware that before the first day of school I met with their security team to discuss the best manner in which for them to drop off and pick up their son. Our foremost goal was to cause the least amount of disruption to the school and to ensure the security of all of our students and families."
"Regretfully, I have seen some parents taking pictures, asking for autographs, talking to the media and even shouting at Ms. Jolie and Mr. Pitt for recognition. Therefore, in the best interests of the school and safety of your child(ren) I must ask for everyone to please respect the family's privacy and discontinue these practices."
You know Maddox Jolie loves this. It's all he's really known. "I'm a star!" "They LOVE me"
And it's true Mad. We love you!

Don't you dare forget the sun, love
"She keeps saying the same words over and over again: 'They are coming'. I don't understand anything and it drives me crazy!"
Annabelle's words were written fast and rather carelessly, because for some reason, she had the feeling that time swept past her all too fast. She had the feeling that she must do something before it was too late, but she couldn't get a grip on what. It was a horrible feeling, and no matter how she tried, she couldn't shake it off.
"Who are they, and why are they looking for me? And when, exactly, are they coming? What do they want with me? Damn you, Simone, always speaking in riddles!" She frowned angrily, and then closed her diary. She couldn't do it anymore. Why did everything have to happen to her? No matter how hard she fought, she always ended up losing. She had lost too much now; too much for it to be worth fighting anymore.
She sighed deeply, and felt how tired she was. John had promised to keep watch that night, so she could get some sleep. Annabelle couldn't help but feel grateful. Slowly, sleep came creeping upon her, making the girl more tired every second, making her eyelids increasingly difficult to keep open. She closed her heavy eyes, and the peaceful sleep slowly brought her deeper and deeper into the world of dreams.
It was late in September, when John one day suddenly wanted to talk to her. She nodded softly, and let him take her for a walk out in the garden. It was quiet out there, and it was getting cooler; you could tell that fall was about to arrive.
"Annabelle", he said quietly when they reached the last oak tree, that stood and shone in all its splendor just where the family estate came to an end. He spoke slowly, but stressed; he had nothing to hide from her. "We have to leave. Alice is still in Mrs. Ericsson's cabin, alone, and not a day goes by that I don't think of her. We can't let her stay there anymore; it has already been too long." Annabelle looked up at him with her eyes gloomy and dark. Then she shrugged her shoulders.
"You can go if you want. I'm going to stay here with my family." She sounded so determined and confident in herself that John couldn't help but sigh.
"Please, Annabelle. Come with me; I promise that we will return here as soon as possible, hopefully with Alice. Annabelle, she would never have left you there this long!" Annabelle hesitantly cocked her head, and saw deep into his eyes. She had hoped to find some kind of love there, or happiness, but all she could see was darkness. The green eyes were so full of darkness, that she had to turn her gaze away.
She remembered Killian's eyes, which always had had an extraordinary light, full of hope and love, in to the very end. Not even when he died, had he for a second given up his hope, or the love he felt for her. The idea broke her heart, and it hurt so badly that she had to swallow so that her tears wouldn't rise. She hoped that she forever would hold on to the joy of life that he had had, and that his love would never leave her. They were so different, John and Killian.
John saw the doubt within her, and furrowed his eyebrows.
"What if it was your sister, Annabelle. What if it was Katherine." Annabelle forced herself to look into his eyes again, hard and cold.
"Don't you ever mention Katherine again, John. I would never have left her in the first place, like you left Alice."
Then she turned around and walked towards the white brick house with big steps, happy that she didn't wear a dress, because it certainly would have stopped her from leaving him as dramatically as she did.
"Annabelle?" The girl opened her heavy eyes, and then took a deep breath. It hurt to breathe.
"Yes, mother?" She asked, and got up from her place by the window in the great hall. It had been so nice to just sit down for a while, with only herself as company, so that Annabelle almost had fallen asleep. She coughed, and hoped that the pain in her chest would soon disappear. It had hurt all day, and if it didn't disappear soon, she would begin to get worried. Her thoughts went back to Killian, and to his early symptoms. The only thing she remembered was that he hadn't seemed particularly ill at all the beginning; Mrs. Ericsson had had to convince the girls about his then unknown disease. It was later, when he started coughing blood, that they really understood that he was sick.
Annabelle took a deep breath. She couldn't be sick; it all sounded so impossible. At the same time she also knew that if she actually had the disease, there would be no hope for her. She thought for a vague second if she would tell anyone about her worries, someone like Charlotte or Simone.
However, the more she thought about in it, the more she realized that they would become even more restless than her, and at the same time treat her as if she certainly was ill. And she didn't want to be treated like that; if she was sick, she wanted to be sick with honor. She refused the idea of spending days in bed, knowing that her time was running out, without being able to do anything about it. If she was going to die, she was going to go down fighting. She swallowed and took a deep breath, struggling to get enough air.
"What was it that you wanted, mother?" Annabelle walked over to the woman, who stood in front of one of the large windows. The dark curtains behind made her look so small. Charlotte shook her head, and Annabelle could see that something was bothering her.
"It's John, darling", she murmured, looking up at her daughter. "Why can't you be so kind and go with him, and bring Alice here? We are not going anywhere; we will be waiting for you to come home." Annabelle watched her mother under her dark eyelashes.
"I just came home", she said, quietly, "and now you want to send me away again?" Charlotte opened her mouth to say something, to protest, but Annabelle closed her eyes, as if to gather strength, and shut out her mother. She didn't like to show herself this weak.
"Why does everyone care so much about Alice?" she screamed then, in a sudden burst of anger, and opened her eyes. "Am I not enough?" Her mother gently put a comforting hand on Annabelle's pale cheek.
"It just doesn't feel right, Annabelle, leaving the girl somewhere far away, with no way back, with no home or family", she murmured. "And don't you ever think that you aren't enough", she continued, "because right now, you, Katherine and Sam are the only ones keeping me alive." Annabelle turned away her head from Charlotte, and swallowed.
"You want me to go back and retrieve Alice because it doesn't feel right?" She took a deep breath, and felt how her body screamed for sleep. "Nothing is right anymore, mother. The war is coming and the only way for us to escape its wrath is to hide; to escape. We must save ourselves." Then Annabelle raised her head. "But if you want me to bring home Alice, I'll do it. I pick her up and bring her home and then we run away. Far from here." Charlotte gave her a vague smile, a smile which this time reached her eyes.
"Get Alice, and we will run. We can go over the oceans, if you want. We can start all over again, Annabelle. Just get Alice."
The next morning the sun shone warmly behind white clouds, and Annabelle and John said goodbye to leave. Simone stood on the edge of the small crowd of people that slowly said their goodbye's, for a dark sense of concern had during the morning started to grow within her. An unpleasant feeling, which made her believe that it would be long before they got to see Annabelle again. If they ever would see her again.
She looked at how Annabelle bent down and carefully took her sister in her arms, whispering goodbye, and then put down the little girl again with a pale smile. "I'm coming back, Katherine, I promise", Simone heard how she whispered. When Annabelle then looked back at Simone, she just nodded quietly.
Goodbye, Annabelle, she thought in her loneliness when she saw her best friend disappear further and further away. Simone couldn't do anything to get rid of the pain, which stubbornly refused to let go of her heart, but she could at least hold back her tears.

There comes a time in life where you've reached a shape and size that is likely not to change in the upcoming years without something drastic occurring. There is no real need to buy cheaply made clothes that will fall apart because if you invest your time (and sometimes money if you choose to) in…Read More
Casual Sunday OOTD
I don't know about you, but for me comfort is key on the weekend. Last weekend I found myself out and about running errands and my aim for my outfit was definitely comfortable, casual, and of course, chic! It was a chillier day out in London, and so for me a well-cut coat is a…Read More

It's been pouring rain for the last thirty minutes, a rain so thorough you can barely see to the other side of the street. Everything is gray and wet, trees saturated and emerald. People stand in doorways waiting for it to stop while the brave and the impatient run through it, immediately soaked as though they've just been pushed into a pool.
We exist somewhere in between.
A group of us sits and waits in the Bio Market on the corner, planning an exit strategy. Jonas and I scan the fresh bread brochure we received with our purchase of various fruits and vegetables, a carton of soymilk and organic crackers.
"This one looks good," I say, having no idea what the hell dinkel is but instinctively knowing it likely tastes like cardboard and that I will probably like it.
In my time in Berlin (roughly two hours and three minutes), I've discovered that I really like German supermarkets. French supermarkets smell like tepid eggs, vegetables on the precipice of rot, and many stinky cheeses. Rarely, if ever, is my appetite stoked by walking into a Fran Prix or a Monop. There are only so many prepackaged lentils, weird moppy bits of shredded carrot, or undercooked salmon over pasta shells a person can take.
Germany is a revelation; I thought the only place in the world that pandered to the health-conscious neuroses of models and celebrities was the Whole Foods on Fairfax and Santa Monica.
After Jonas and I settle on a sprouted loaf of bread as dense and heavy as a brick, he runs to the car to come back and pick up four of us. The remaining four of our group will be left to fashion makeshift umbrellas out of their own bread brochures and biodegradable plastic bags.
Nine million gallons of rainwater, two overworked windshield wipers, and one blurry Berlin landscape later, we're running across a large street, luggage in tow. There is another group of people waiting outside of the apartment building; apparently the friend of a friend of a friend is shooting something here today, a line of clothing the designer describes as "hipster and thrift."
I follow Jonas through glass doors and the mouth of a corridor, passing a row of mailboxes, fifty percent of which have been wrenched open and left bent and useless. His landlord tried to give him a key last week.
"Which one do you want?" he asked, standing in front of twelve unusable boxes, and Jonas just looked at him.
"Seriously?" he asked, because what good is a key to mailbox if you can just stick your hand through the middle and grab everything inside.
"Yeah, I guess you're right," the landlord said. "A new box will take a couple weeks."
Ah, Berlin. I love you too much already.
The hallways are ratty and smudged, the ceilings high and everything made brighter – for better or worse – by a large window above each landing. It's dour and ancient but not disgusting. No, New York apartment buildings are disgusting; the "foyers" always reek of unfamiliar spices and old trash, the stairways narrow and the steps worn and crooked.
Jonas puts a key into a door with a painted-over slot for mail (a recurring theme here apparently being the difficulty in getting letters) and three or four different peepholes.
He pushes the door and light spills out from inside, reflecting off of stark white, bare walls. It still smells of fresh paint and floor varnish. It is unfathomably pretty and not at all what one would expect when viewed from the street below, starring up at windows hovering above an orange sign and an unimpressive bakery.
"Stop it," I say, tempering a healthy dose of apartment envy while I poke my head into two massive rooms to the right, a room to the left and the kitchen beyond, through to another hallway. This apartment exists only in dreams and the Upper East Side.
Now I don't just want to date Berlin; I want to marry it.
