Free to Have Peace on Earth
Written by Christian author, Pola Muzyka.
With all the rules and regulations of life today it's no wonder that peace is so elusive. We strive hard to accomplish things we're told are important. If we fail, we stress out over the failure, and either quit or learn more of what we need to know to succeed.
When we finally succeed, peace is still not in our hearts. We want more, bigger, better, faster, higher, and greater. Money seems to be the priority in life. Peace has no room in the heart of a covetous person. No room in the heart of a person without Jesus Christ.
What we deem as valuable, God sees as inconsequential. Originally his desire in creating men and women or mankind was to tend the rest of creation, which he gave us generously, and to honor him. After the fall, and when sin entered in, mankind began to seek position, power, possessions, and control over each other instead of enjoying the benefits that our loving creator poured out.
We severed the relationship with God that brought peace and joy into our lives. We turned from God to things. The more we covet, the more we realize that God is further away along with the peace he has always meant for us to have. But God hasn't moved.
Peace and contentment only come when we return and submit to God and his will and seek his presence above all else. What does God require of us in order to attain the complete peace that only comes from a secure relationship with him?
Psalm 40:5-6 Many, O Lord my God, are the wonderful works which You have done, and Your thoughts toward us; no one can compare with You! If I should declare and speak of them, they are too many to be numbered. 6Sacrifice and offering You do not desire, nor have You delight in them; You have given me the capacity to hear and obey [Your law, a more valuable service than] burnt offerings and sin offerings [which] You do not require.
Micah 6:8 He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, and to love kindness and mercy, and to humble yourself and walk humbly with your God?
5 Biblical tips to have peace on this earth:
1. Turn back to God through Jesus Christ. Receive Him if you haven't already. Put him first in all things.
John 16:33 I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]
2. Seek His will and His glory. Not your own. Whatever will glorify God will last. Everything else is fleeting at best.
Romans 5:1 THEREFORE, SINCE we are justified ( acquitted, declared righteous, and given a right standing with God) through faith, let us [grasp the fact that we] have [the peace of reconciliation to hold and to enjoy] peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
3. Understand that peace comes with a price. God has given this price to us, but has no intention of saving contentious, rebellious people. But rather those who submit to him and his commandments.
1 Corinthians 7:23 You were bought with a price [purchased with a preciousness and paid for by Christ]; then do not yield yourselves up to become [in your own estimation] slaves to men [but consider yourselves slaves to Christ].
Luke 12:51 Do you suppose that I have come to give peace upon earth? No, I say to you, but rather division;
Luke 2:14 Glory to God in the highest [heaven], and on earth peace among men with whom He is well pleased [men of goodwill, of His favor].
4. Practice what Christ preached. Keep in mind that the greatest commandment is love.
Philippians 4:9 Practice what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and model your way of living on it, and the God of peace (of untroubled, undisturbed well-being) will be with you.
John 16:33 I've told you this so that my peace will be with you. In the world you'll have trouble. But cheer up! I have overcome the world."
5. Draw close to him throughout the days, months, and years ahead. Your life is now in his hands. If you don't draw close to God through Jesus Christ, you will never have true peace on earth. Since the first peace was severed with the fall a price for your peace had to be paid by God himself.
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]

Guest Post by Ingrid Gonçalves
I was not excited for Startup Weekend Education. When I registered on a whim, it hadn't clicked that I'd be spending my entire weekend—the kind of sunny, 70-degree weekend Chicagoans live all winter for—holed up in a National Louis University classroom.
But I sucked it up and took the bus from my job at the University of Chicago, already worn out from a long week at work. I hoped, at least, the weekend might be a fun experience and a good networking opportunity. Plus I felt bad backing out.
After pizza and introductions, 24 participants pitched their ideas for improving education. Teachers, programmers, and entrepreneurs tackled problems ranging from language learning to summer planning, each in less than 60 seconds. We all voted for our favorites, and began forming teams around ideas that made the cut.
I braced myself and approached the designated area for "Whipping Post", a product pitched by fresh DevBootcamp graduate Ryan Spencer. As a former graphic design teacher, Ryan hated all the paperwork involved in reporting student discipline issues. He wanted to build an app to save teachers time. I knew student behavior management was a big challenge for many educators, so I got on board.
The next hour was a whirlwind of features spitballed onto a wall of giant Post-it notes. I'd barely had time to learn anyone's name, but already our simple concept had morphed into a monster. (We want teachers to record video now? Why? How?) At some point we called it a night and went home. I lay awake for a long time despite how exhausted I felt. This is going to be a disaster, I thought as I finally drifted off.
The adrenaline kicked in the next morning. Whipping Post wasn't going down without a fight. We regrouped over breakfast, and refocused on our immediate goal: winning Startup Weekend Education. We had five minutes to convince the judges we'd built a useful, marketable product. So we looked at the judging criteria and hashed out a game plan for addressing each one.
Luckily, we had a well-rounded team. Abhi Pillai and Ryan were both software developers. Nathan Conroy and Jeremy Peters had education backgrounds. Purab Kaur, Pat Doyle, and I knew a few things about marketing. We agreed on a less scary name—Carrot, to reflect our new focus on positive behavior—and got to work.
We started coding. We designed a cute logo. We surveyed teachers and principals and counselors, calling and tweeting all the educators we knew. We crunched some numbers. We argued. We researched the competition. By dinnertime, Carrot had grown into a coherent product with a working demo. I finished the pitch deck around 1am.
We spent the final day polishing our presentation of a simple web app to help teachers, administrators, and parents encourage positive student behavior. (The logo T-shirts were a game-time decision.) Team Carrot sat united in the atrium, anxious to see what the others had in store.
First up was Pairs, a tool for partnering students so they can learn from each other. Then we heard from Watch Me Work, a video library of experts practicing their skills in a non-tutorial setting, and Eternity Engine, which is like Google Earth but with history-related educational content. Fantasy Finance and Jock Games used sports-inspired programs to teach financial literacy and math.
As the judges deliberated, we already felt like winners. Carrot had been a team for less than two days, but we meshed as if we'd been working together for months. We had a blast regardless of the outcome—and we had a pretty cool product to show for it.
Carrot ended up winning both first place and people's choice. We toasted our victory with fellow participants, including runners-up Pairs and Fantasy Finance, and the Startup Weekend EDU organizers. After working nonstop since we first met, we finally had a chance to ask each other where we lived and how many kids we had. But we knew we'd have plenty of time to get to know each other. This weekend was just the beginning.
What's next for Carrot? Follow us at @classcarrot or classcarrot.squarespace.com!

5 Latest Party Wear Sarees for Indian Women in the USA
Indian women look alluring in sarees. There's not a single garment which accentuates a women's figure as beautifully as the party wear sarees.

Women in the USA are also renewing their association with this garment. It can be bold, demure, classy or corporate! Let's find out why women in the USA are donning this sartorial wonder.
Different Party Wear Sarees
As soon as you get an invitation for a party, you start thinking about how you will you deck up. What will you be wearing? Should you reach out for the ruby red saree or for the emerald green one? But sarees have to be in vogue right? That just brings us to the fact about which are the sarees ruling the fashion world currently. Most women won't be caught dead in a saree which is not in style!
- Sarees with Cape -If you follow fashion keenly, you will notice that the cape has indeed overshadowed the blingy choli now. Right from Bollywood celebrities to models, can be seen walking the talk in the cape saree. Is it a blouse or is it a jacket? Who bothers when you look so cool and stylish at the same time? Transparent, embellished, long or short, say hello to the scene stealer because the cape is indeed the new fashion trick to amp your saree.
- Different pleats – The oft-ignored pleats are now getting their place under the sun. So have you given your pleats much of a thought? If you haven't, then do so now. The color-blocking pleats are much in vogue now. They scream for attention, as they are usually of varied colors and get attention and become the focal point of sarees. Do not forget to add these to your collection of the latest party wear sarees.
- Digital print Sarees- Few designers are making a living out of making uber chic printed sarees, which are flying fast off the designer racks! Right from Disney prints to the floral ones, Designers are printing these party wear sarees in the USA with aplomb.
- Pre-draped sarees- Teenagers, who want to sport the saree trend but shy away from wearing one because of the associated hassles, can now have a field day because pre-draped or concept sarees are here. You don't have to pleat it; you don't have to worry about the drape slithering off because it is pre-stitched. You just have to fit in it and you are good to go! These sarees have undergone a major makeover with the bottom part sometimes looking like a dhoti.
- Saree gowns- If you are one of those who love wearing gowns and think sarees are a little too traditional for you; do not sweat, because the saree gown is here! The top half looks like a saree whereas the bottom half looks like a gown. Slinky and sensuous, you will love this latest avatar of the saree. This can be a great ensemble and a major part of Indian wedding sarees. Try this trend with slits and layers and make a telling fashion statement.
Sarees undergo so many innovations; it is a universal garment which reinvents itself, moulding it according to the needs of different generations. That is really the beauty of the garment, your grandma feels comfortable in its innate traditionalism and yet you get to enjoy the spark of glamor that it lends to your charming persona.

This one comes to us from John Alexander.
Ryan Adams has a layered reputation.
First of all, he's prolific. Since his 2000 debut Heartbreaker he has released 15 full-length albums in addition to a pile of EPs and a mountain of orphaned singles.
Secondly, his work is notably diverse. Adams' first few releases pinned him as an alt-country artist, but he soon crossed into straightforward rock with 2003's Rock N Roll, then spent a double album channeling The Grateful Dead with 2005's Cold Roses before turning to pure country (no alt-) with Jacksonville City Nights. He has criss-crossed that circuit ever since, with a brief foray into something called "sci-fi metal".
Along the way he solidified a third layer of his reputation: he is known to be one of the most antagonistic live performers of his generation.
Just before his new album Prisoner dropped, Adams wrote a piece for The New York Times in which he addressed this layer of his reputation and whether it is justified. In it, he gives his version of an infamous episode involving a heckler at a 2002 concert in Nashville. As the story goes, some guy kept screaming requests for "Summer of 69" and other songs by 80s icon Bryan Adams. Adams wasn't amused. Stepping into the audience, he identified the heckler, took $40 from his own wallet to reimburse the ticket price, and told him to leave. The Associated Press quickly circulated the story and Adams' reputation took off from there.
In his Times piece Adams corroborates the general outline of the story but explains just how disruptive the drunken concertgoer became and how few options were available. He admits that his was still the wrong response, and goes on to explain how he has since learned to laugh at himself a little more. It's a moving piece, and anyone who has ever performed or even spoken publicly can relate to the nakedness he describes in the moments preceding the confrontation. In fact, a charitable reader might even get the impression that Ryan Adams' bad reputation is based on a one-sided retelling of this one impossible situation.
That charitable reader would be wrong. The truth is, Adams didn't just have an immature response to a few hecklers over the years. He actually harassed entire audiences. I should know. He did it to me.
Well, me and about 2,000 other fans. The date in question was in May 2005, when Adams was at the height of his creative production and on his first tour with The Cardinals, the backing band with whom he would record several albums over the next five years. The show was at Philadelphia's Electric Factory, which features a balcony bar that runs up against stage right. Apparently the guy at the barstool nearest the stage was trying to get a date with the girl next to him, and was loud enough to get Adams' attention instead. "Hey man. You! You in the bowling shirt," Adams shouted toward the bar after a song. "This is a concert. Please shut up." Mr. Bowling Shirt did not take the hint. After the next song: "Hey! You're not gonna get her number! Shut it!" And on and on it went.
The whole the audience was drawn into the fray later in the evening, after a third false start to the ballad "Strawberry Wine." Adams kept getting about a minute in before stopping to ask the sound engineer about a hum in the PA system that no one else could hear. Inevitably came the cries, "Play the song!" Adams protested that he was only trying to improve the sound quality for us and that we were ungrateful, at which point the growing cries turned to a small chant: "Play. The. Song…Play. The. Song." To this, Adams simply turned his head, lifted his left hand and offered us the old familiar suggestion. We were then only a dozen songs into the evening but it was clear that things were not going to end well. Adams played a few more rushed selections, and after striking the final note of "Magnolia Mountain" he picked up his half-empty wine bottle and poured it out onto the stage. As with the bottle, Ryan Adams was done with us.
I have no doubt that the heckler was the most impossible person in the room during that 2002 Nashville concert. But there is well-documented testimony that at many other Ryan Adams concerts the most impossible person in the room has been Ryan Adams. On this point his description of the Nashville incident and its impact on his reputation feels misleading.
Ironically, the Times piece is also the only reason that I returned to a Ryan Adams concert after a long personal protest.
Adams closes the piece by recounting his recent return to perform at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville — the same room where he solidified his bad reputation all those years ago. For the penultimate song Adams finally granted the heckler's request, crooning in his trademark falsetto:
I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime…
The original melody fell off in a few places, which is Adams' usual way with cover songs, but he gave them "Summer of 69" in full. It was more than a poignant cover. It was the fruit of wisdom that comes from years of either picking fights or finishing them and finding that the scars aren't worth it. That is, unless they come from battles fought in other arenas. For example: by the time Adams returned to the Ryman he was a few years past a well-publicized battle with alcohol abuse, and was currently in the midst of a drawn out divorce. Many have since noticed the marks of these battles on his music and live persona.
Of the original heckling incident Adams writes, "that was the beginning of who I am today," and I believe him. It took him over ten years, but Adams finally managed to use both the location and the very means of his humiliation to offer a blessing. In a way, Adams became a mockingbird. He mimicked what was given and offered it back in new and contextual richness—a richness that would not have been there without the original offense. This isn't exactly repentance, but it demonstrates the shade of humility that makes repentance possible.
In his classic work Beginning to Pray, Anthony Bloom describes humility with a different metaphor, but one that resonates with Adams' mimicry:
The word 'humility' comes from the Latin word 'humus' which means fertile ground… Humility is the situation of the earth. The earth is always there, always taken for granted, never remembered, always trodden on by everyone, somewhere we cast and pour out all the refuse, all we don't need. It's there, silent and accepting everything and in a miraculous way making out of all the refuse new richness in spite of corruption, transforming corruption itself into a power of life and a new possibility of creativeness, open to the sunshine, open to the rain, ready to receive any seed we sow and capable of bringing thirtyfold, sixtyfold, a hundredfold out of every seed…learn to be like this before God; abandoned, surrendered, ready to receive anything from people and anything from God.[1]
When I think of humility in the life of Christ, I remember how he took the towel and washed the dust and animal feces from the feet of men who would soon desert or betray him. And of course I think of the humility of the cross itself, on which the beloved royal Son chose a slave's death in order to turn a multitude of slaves into sons. But Bloom speaks of another type of humility that is directed Godward. Humility, Bloom writes, is taking whatever falls on you. This is the humility of John 18:11, where Christ refused to resist his arrest by violence, choosing instead to accept what was given: "Jesus said to Peter, 'Put your sword into its sheath; shall I not drink the cup that the Father has given me?'" At the moment of his greatest suffering and humiliation, Christ submitted to God instead of raging against Him or others, and this is the humility that secures our only hope in life and death. Now, Ryan Adams does not appear to be a man of confessional faith,[2] but he has tapped into this one precious entailment of the Christian gospel: there is freedom, and often hidden blessing, in accepting what is permitted to fall to you.
When I joined the crowd in Upper Darby, PA to see Ryan Adams two weeks ago, it was his reputation that drew me. But it wasn't his reputation for prolific, genre-crossing, you'll-never- guess-what-I'll-do-next originality. It was the reputation of a beaten down man who took what once fell upon him — the insufferable nakedness of a formative moment early in his career — accepted it, and let it produce something beautiful.
[1] Bloom, Anthony. Beginning to Pray. p. 35.
[2] However, spiritual themes regularly find their way into his work. Most notably for this post, his song "Mockingbird" is a cry for union with the divine through natural revelation. Adams mainly has the revelation of human love in mind, but he weaves the biblical creation account and the spiritual searching of his childhood into the journey.

Alexandria city officials backed off a plan to hold a ribbon-cutting this weekend for their newest fire station because while the building is finished, there are no firefighters to staff it.
Brand-new Station 210 near the Van Dorn Metro station is a needed addition to the growing section of the city, but residents are upset to
learn it could be another year and a half before it's fully staffed.
Except for a paramedic crew and its vehicles, the station is empty.
Staffing the new station is not just a matter of money, City Council member Del Pepper said. The department had more retirements than expected, and recruiting and training new firefighters takes time.
Meanwhile, the nearby ethanol transfer station just announced plans to expand, causing residents more concerns about the lack of firefighters. Some signed a petition demanding that the city include in the 2016 budget whatever funding is needed to get the station fully operational.
The council is exploring all options but there may not be a quick fix, Pepper said.

Summary of 'The Listeners'.
Summary of 'The Listeners'
Summary of 'The Listeners'
The poet Walter de la Mare in his poem 'The Listeners' speaks about a traveller on horseback, who had visited an empty house in a forest, on a moonlit night.He knocked on the door hoping against hope to get an expected response.To his utter dismay, the only listeners were a host of ghosts.The message that he attempted to pass over to the person in the house, was only reverberated back.He had kept his promise.The silence that welcomed him was only broken with the plunging hoofs of the traveller's horse as he retreated.
The lonely traveller on his horseback, reaches a lone house in the forest to deliver a message. He was greeted by a bird, which flew out of the turret above his head, when he knocked on the door.There was a tinge of eeriness. The second time he knocked louder, and shouted to find out if there was anybody in.
With no one descending the stairs, nor anyone peering over the window-sill fringed with leaves, he stood baffled and still.The air was stirred by the traveller's call. Whilst waiting for a reply, he had a strange feeling within. It was a starry night, and the thick boughs hung over.He smote on the door and shouted even louder, lifting his head giving the message to tell them that he had come; but no one answered. He shouted once again, that he had kept his word.
Every word he spoke, echoed through the still house: the sound of his foot upon the stirrup and the clank of the horses' hoofs on the stone with the retreating hoofs, leaving behind the listeners.

As cultural beliefs lead many mothers to place blame upon themselves when a child is born with a disability, Enable the Children works with mothers so they understand each child's medical
The Impact
Enable the Children has helped turn more than 800 children's lives around, despite still living with a disability. Some children have been given the opportunity to eat without the risk of choking thanks to better positioning, others have learned how to utilize and play with their hands, some have felt for the first time how it feels to sit upright or stand at eye level with their friends, and many can finally enjoy quality time with their parents, siblings, and neighbors.

Finland ranks among the leading nations of the world in many international comparisons. For example, the economic competitiveness, and the education and innovation systems have been widely acclaimed.
Stable economy, efficient infrastructure, enterprise-friendly business environment and highly educated labour force with good language skills provide many opportunities for companies and investors interested in Finland. Finland also serves as an ideal route to the markets of Russia and Northern Europe.
According to Invest in Finland, operating as part of Finpro, in 2013, a total of 213 foreign direct investments (FDI) were made in Finland. The year before, the figure had been 153. Most of the investments were made in consumer trade, business services, the health care and well-being sector, and the ICT sector. The most important investor countries were Sweden, the United Kingdom, Germany and the United States.
According to a preliminary estimate of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the foreign direct investments rose from the previous year by 11%, to USD 1,460 billion. The amount of investments made in developing economies continued to grow (share was 52% of total flow), whereas investments in developed countries remained historically low for a second time (39% of total flow), even though international investments in EU countries increased.
According to the World Economic Forum (WEF)'s "The Global Competitiveness Report 2014–2015" comparison Finland ranked fourth among the most competitive countries of the world. In the comparison of 144 countries, Finland was preceded by Switzerland, Singapore and the United States.
Finland's strengths include the health care system, basic and higher education, functionality of the economy and societal institutions, and innovations. The weaknesses, on the other hand, are the small size of the market area, and ineffectiveness of the labour market.
Finland reached the top position also in the Europe 2020 Competitiveness Index comparison produced by WEF. According to the report, Finland's ranking reflects the state's large focus on education and training, which has provided the workforce with the skills needed to adapt rapidly to a changing environment, and has laid the groundwork for high levels of technological adoption and innovation.
Finland also improved its economic competitiveness ranking in the annual survey assessing the competitiveness of various countries conducted by the Swiss Institute for Management Development (IMD). Among the 60 countries studied, Finland ranked 18th, climbing up two positions from last year.
According to IMD, Finland has improved its competitiveness as regards, for example, international trade and financing. Finland's positions were further enhanced by alleviations in the corporate tax, stronger confidence in the opportunities of the Finnish cleantech industry, and the increase of foreign direct investments in Finland and from Finland to other countries.
According to Prof. Arturo Bris, Director of IMD World Competitiveness Centre, Finland's prospects look good. In a Taloussanomat interview, Prof. Bris said that Finland belongs among those European fringe-area economies that has clearly improved its competitiveness in spite of unemployment and the challenging situation of public finances.
Finland has skilled and highly educated labour force with good language skills. Exchange of information between universities and the business world is one of the key factors behind Finland's recognised innovation competence and economic success. Finland has particularly strong competence in the ICT and mobile technology sectors, and in generation of renewable energies.
The Finnish education system has repeatedly reached excellent results. For example, in the PISA benchmarking study conducted in OECD member states every three years, measuring the skills of 15-year-olds in mathematics, sciences, and literacy, Finland has held top positions from year to year. In spite of a drop in the results, the skills of Finnish young people still rank among the best in the OECD area. In the latest study, conducted in 2012, Finland came sixth in mathematics, third in literacy, and second in sciences.
About one third of the Finnish labour force has a degree or a higher qualification. According to WEF report, Finland has the world's best offering of research scientists and engineers, and they have been educated in one of the world's best educational systems. Labour costs, on the other hand, are lower than in other Nordic Countries.
English is the universal language of Finland's highly international business community. More than 90% of under 30-year-old Finns speak English. Swedish is one of the two national languages of Finland and many Finns also speak Russian.
Finland is known as a strong innovator, and it has focused on, for example, seeking creative solutions to global problems. The sum used on research and development per capita is one of the highest in the world. Finnish companies and consumers adopt new technologies rapidly, which makes Finland an ideal test platform for new solutions and technologies.
The foreign direct investments in Finland are also often related to knowledge and expertise. Finland has several high technology clusters, and technology companies with top competences in the areas related to, for example, wireless and mobile solutions, cleantech, health care and well-being, and new materials and processes.
Finland is one of the very few countries that still holds the highest possible AAA credit rating according to two biggest credit rating agencies Fitch Ratings and Moody's. According to Standard & Poor's, Finland's credit rating is AA+. According to Fitch estimate, published at the end of September 2014, Finland's economic and political foundations and the financing of the pension system still rest on a firm foundation.
In the WEF comparison, Finland was ranked at the European top for its strong social inclusion. The inequality in the country is low, the state provides social services, and the citizens have the opportunity to improve their economic status independent of their socio-economic background. In terms of sustainable development, Finland came second, which demonstrates that its economic prowess does not come at the expense of environmentally sustainable practices and outcomes.
In 2010, the U.S. Newsweek magazine compared the living conditions of citizens in one hundred countries. Finland came out as the best country in the world. The categories included in the comparison were the national educational and health care services, quality of life, economic competitiveness, and the political environment.n
Finland provides a well-functioning gateway to Russia, and it also holds a central position with a view to the Northern European markets of 80 million consumers.
Finland has a long experience of trade with Northern Europe, and strong historical and cultural ties with its neighbouring countries, which provides the country with valuable information and understanding of the region. Finland's modern logistics and communications networks contribute to smoothly running and safe traffic. Finnish and Russian railways have the same rail width, so the carriages do not need to be adjusted or reloaded when crossing the border. Consequently, most of the transit trade from EU to Russia already passes through Finland.
The Finnish business environment promotes generation of business activities. There is not much bureaucracy, financing is available for investments, and also foreign-owned companies can benefit from various investment incentives, research and development subsidies, and research data, which is produced in extensive collaboration with Finnish universities and private sector actors. According to Transparency International, a non-governmental organisation monitoring corruption, Finland is one of the least corrupt nations in the world.

I am a big believer in the effectiveness of modeling as a parenting tool.
Well, wait a second. That's a silly way to say it. Sort of like saying, "I'm a big believer in the effectiveness of breathing for the purposes of respiration."
Modeling is effective whether I believe in it or not.
Let me try again. In the past year, I've become much more tuned in to the behaviors and approaches to life that I am modeling for my children, and I have made a great effort to be extremely mindful of what I am teaching them through the behaviors and responses I model for them on a daily basis. (That's better, right?)
I am an extremely emotional person. It is no surprise to me then that one of my children is also extremely emotional. Dacey is my Mini Me - not so much in appearance, but definitely in personality. Around the time she turned four, I realized that I would need to focus in earnest on teaching her how to manage the many big feelings she experienced daily.
As I sought out ways to teach my daughter, it became obvious to me that I needed to better learn how to manage my own big feelings.
Although I wasn't raised in a home where happiness is the only acceptable emotion, I also wasn't taught many coping skills for anger and frustration as a child. I'm more prone to stuffing anger down until it comes out in a big, ugly explosion. I know all too well what it feels like to experience seeing that in a parent, and it is not something I wanted to repeat (and model) for my own children.
One tool that has been extremely helpful for me is the "time-in." It's very simple to utilize. When I start getting cues from my internal anger reader that an outburst is impending, I tell the girls, "Mama needs some time-in time." And I go sit on my bed and engage in some self-talk to try to get things in perspective, acknowledging the factors that are causing anger and frustration for me while trying to get my mind re-focused on The Big Picture.
When I am in time-in, usually one or both of the girls wants to come with me. Sometimes I tell them, "I need a time-in and some space. I'll be out in a minute." But oftentimes I welcome them to come sit with me. I practice taking deep breaths. And almost always, I pray before I get up: "God, I am so thankful that You are bigger than my feelings. Help me experience Your peace."

Planting seeds is a laborious process. The time between the planting and the bearing of fruit is time of hope and expectation, but also a time of worry and concern. What if the seeds don't take?
Yesterday, I got a glimpse of the ripening of the fruit on the tender young shoots I've been nurturing.
This has been Dacey's Spring Break week, and we were gone for half a week before that. My routine-thriving child is totally off-schedule. Yesterday morning was particularly rough, and I was working in the kitchen when she came to me, tears streaming down her face. She kept tugging on my hand and pulling me towards the bedroom. "What, honey? What? What's wrong?" No response. Just more tearful tugging. I thought maybe she had broken something - I couldn't understand why she kept pulling on me.
Finally, she managed to get out the words, "I need a time-in!"
We went and sat on my bed, and I held her and comforted her and eventually we were able to talk through her upset. Although I've accompanied her to time-in time before, it has always been under my direction - "You need time-in time. I'll go with you." But this marked the first time that she asked for time-in. So encouraging.
Yesterday turned into a not-so-great day for me. My emotions were already stretched thin and taut when I received a very upsetting phone call. The tenuous grasp I had on perspective snapped, and I crumpled on the floor of the laundry room and sobbed against the whir of the washing machine.
Dacey wandered in just at that moment, and though I don't really like for the girls to see my that upset, there was not much I could do. She saw that I was crying and sat down next me. "Are you sad, Mom? I'll pray with you. Dear God, please help my mom to not feel sad. Please help her to feel better. Thank you for this beautiful day. Thank you for our family and our house and . . ."
What a welcome gift in the midst of my hurt. I smiled and held her close and thanked God for such unexpected blessing. Such hope in knowing that as I've turned to Him time and again in my weakness, that she has come to know The One who is bigger than our biggest feelings. Bigger, even, than Mama's big feelings.
On this path, there is so much planting ahead of us. It feels overwhelming and sometimes the work is exhausting. Sometimes I have to unfurl from my focus on the little patch of earth in front of me, standing to stretch cramped muscles and brushing the dirt from my knees, and I look back over the ground I've already worked. When new green growth pushes forth fruit, my resolve is renewed.
I pause to enjoy the moment, then turn back to work that waits for me. Hope. Promise. Faith. Joy.

Lean Hog/Corn Spread Exit
On October 14th the IMC blog entered a hypothetical short position in the April-May hog/corn spread at approximately +$17,850 (premium hogs). We are currently using a two-day close above the declining 50-day Moving Average for the exit signal.
Tomorrow is the expiration day for the April hog contract, so we have to liquidate this side of the spread. The problem is that the July hog/corn spread surged above the 50-day MA today. Therefore, it may be prudent to take the money in the current position and run. We can then sit back and watch for a new setup in the July spread.
Lucky for us, the July hog/corn spread is trading at a premium of more than $6k to the April-May spread. Recall that the hog/corn spread has historically been a great short sale candidate when it reached +$15k or higher. The July spread rallied to a high of +$13k today, so the +$15k mark is within reach. The Fibonacci .618 retracement of the current decline from the contract high is located at +$15,771 and the current 2015 high is at +$15,947.50. A bounce into this area, followed by a reversal lower, could be an ideal setup to get back in the game. We will watch this one closely.
Trade Strategy:
For tracking purposes, the blog will liquidate the hypothetical short April-May hog/corn spread position at today's close by buying back the short April hog contract and selling the long May corn contract.

Remember the Infiniti M45? What about the second generation? The 2015 Infiniti Q70 is the third generation of those memorable cars, so that's why Infiniti is trying to give it a new identity: it's the luxury sedan for a lot of tall people.
What Infiniti showed Thursday at the New York Auto Show was the Q70L, the long-wheelbase version of the Q70. Why does this exist?
Well, Infiniti Americas President Michael Bartsch said it's because there are people who want the space of an SUV but want to drive a luxury sedan. I think I'd like these people who would rather drive a car than a car-on-stilts crossover.
Apparently there's room for four 6-foot-2 adults in the Q70L. And they'd definitely enjoy the noise from the V8 version of this car. Go on, executives and buy this Infiniti instead of an SUV.

But in the meantime, I am also working on some new blocks with the red fabrics. I posted a basket block a few days ago that I did as a sample to work on in the class I taught week before last. Above is another block to go with that-----
and here is another one. These are big blocks and go very fast with the machine buttonhole applique. As I said in an earlier post, I have plenty of the background and am working towards making a big quilt to go on my bed. Looking through my books and files for patterns is always fun. And it's so easy to make them any size you need either by doing it yourself on the copier or with the scanner or taking it to someplace like Staples. How things have changed over the years.

Taken on Jan. 24, during Red Flag 13-2 currently underway, the following cool image shows a B-52 Stratofortress from Barksdale Air Force Base, La., banking on approach to Nellis Air Force Base with Las Vegas clearly visible in the background.
Considered the position of the plane and the displacement from the runway's extended center line, the bomber was probably finishing the base turn while on a visual approach at Nellis: no big deal for the B-52 that, in spite of it's rather maneuverable.

"Why don't we do this more often? I love sex and I particularly enjoy it with my husband but getting started is just the problem," exclaimed one wife after a counselling session in my office. Another woman said, "It's strange, but whenever we do make love, we always look at each other afterward and say", Hey, that was terrific. Why don't we do this more often? Why don't we?
Many married couples say that once things get rolling in sexually, they have no trouble responding to a sexual trip and escapade. But a couple's inability to get started sexually is the greatest single cause of sexual infrequency and sexless marriage.
As much as many couples desire sex to be a "sudden inspiration," impressive passionate, sex mostly happens in marriage when couples make initiating sex a conscious decision. Many couples have realized that while waiting endlessly for the time of feeling sexy, they usually are not feeling all that sexy until when they decide to have sex.
But "getting started" is only half the problem in most marriages. There's also the question of who starts the initiation. Let's look at the case of Bidemi and Lucky.
During the first seven years of Bidemi and Lucky's marriage, Lucky had always initiated sex and five out of ten times, Bidemi had willingly acceded. But one evening, after a party, Bidemi reached under the bedcovers and began to caress her husband.
"He just pushed my hand away," Bidemi recalled with obvious pain and resentment. "He told me I was drunk and he did not want to make love when I was like that. That my normal self would refuse sex and when he insists he wants it, I will always accuse him of raping me under the marriage law."
Lucky cut in. "I told you that I simply wasn't in the mood, I don't want your 'wahala' and I don't want to pretend about it after all, you always refuse and say you don't want to pretend about it. Why is my refusal painful now? This is what I go through day in day out since we have been married."
This escalated into cold war. Bidemi was angry, and she began to pay Lucky back with his own coin. The next time he initiated sex, she begged off, saying that she was not in the mood. She refused again the next time, and the next. Lucky, humiliated, stopped initiating sex altogether. They had not made love in four years.
Bidemi and Lucky are on a very dangerous game of sexual relationship, which has lasted for years, one partner does not want sex because the other does; refusing sex becomes a power play: "If you can say no, so can I." This is typical of many marriages.
Many spouses never initiate sex anymore because they regard one or two refusals as total rejection and denial, but sometimes, our partners may not be in the mood for sex, so sexual refusal should not be seen as rejection. The rejecting partner should always provide a 'substitute other day'. If you have to refuse your partner, let there be a sincere tenable reason genuinely accepted by the person refused and a promise for a make up.
Lucky's refusal of Bidemi's advance, however, involved more than a passing mood; it is rooted deeply in cumulative rejections that has transcended into frustration and resentment. When he pushed his wife's hand away, he was saying, loud and clear I have been discouraged and disconnected.
While Bidemi has only responded sometimes to her husband's advance only when she wanted, she is now so confused how to rectify things. She realized that there had been a serious sexual imbalance in her 7-year- old marriage and it wasn't fair because her husband now plays 'the external league'. I tried to show Bidemi that all along, she had been only a willing accomplice who has ignorantly taken her husband for granted and she has always had the power to refuse even when the man begs on his kneel. But once she too starts initiating sex, he also refuses.
Because Lucky and Bidemi both wanted their marriage to work, I urged them to sincerely consider themselves and consciously give sex another chance even when either of them is not in the mood, or either of them has been unfaithful.
I knew that their accumulated anger was preventing them both from turning themselves on. I asked them to try the talking-touching exercise. Talking-touching is important; it connects partners and enables them to experience the long lost pleasure. Let your bodies make friends first. You can talk about the good old days. Once we allow ourselves to feel our partner's heart-caressing speech and touching, it is difficult to stay adamant and angry. When we relax under a loving caress, frequencies of sex are rebirthed.

The Most Classic Classic Rock Song
How do you define a classic rock song?
Is a classic rock song a song that has successfully weathered the test of time? Or is it a song that was simply incendiary upon its release? Or is it just a song that is really, really, REALLY good?
Well, the Planet Rock listeners have been voting in their thousands and have put together a list of songs that they think best define classic rock.
Perhaps the result of the poll is not altogether surprising - with Led Zeppelin's seminal 1971 epic essentially defining the phrase classic rock in one fell swoop. Its eight minute running time, varying tempo and volume and stunning solo represent pretty much everything great about rock music in one bitesize(ish) nugget of swaggering rock genius.
Robert Plant (and guitar shop employees) may not care for it much, but we do and that's why Stairway is a worthy winner of this particular poll.
Led Zeppelin actually managed to get a massive SEVEN songs in the top 70, narrowly beating Deep Purple to the most songs in the poll. In another impressive showing, AC/DC managed to get five songs into the top 40.
Here's the Top 40.
1. Stairway To Heaven - Led Zeppelin
2. Smoke On The Water - Deep Purple
3. Free Bird - Lynyrd Skynyrd
4. All Right Now - Free
5. Whole Lotta Love - Led Zeppelin
6. Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
7. Whole Lotta Rosie - AC/DC
8. More Than A Feeling - Boston
9. Paranoid - Black Sabbath
10. Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd
11. Stargazer - Rainbow
12. Bat Out Of Hell - Meat Loaf
13. Born To Be Wild - Steppenwolf
14. Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who
15. Back In Black - AC/DC
16. Kashmir - Led Zeppelin
17. Child In Time - Deep Purple
18. Highway to Hell AC/DC
19. Rock and Roll - Led Zeppelin
20. Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns n Roses
21. Ace of Spades - Motorhead
22. Let There Be Rock - AC/DC
23. Highway Star - Deep Purple
24. We Will Rock You - Queen
25. Immigrant Song - Led Zeppelin
26. The Boys Are Back In Town - Thin Lizzy
27. Layla - Derek & The Dominoes
28. Black Dog - Led Zeppelin
29. Gypsy - Uriah Heep
30. Hotel California - Eagles
31. All Along the Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix
32. Since You've Been Gone - Rainbow
33. Voodoo Child (Slight Return) - Jimi Hendrix
34. Dazed And Confused - Led Zeppelin
35. Caroline - Status Quo
36. Shine On (You Crazy Diamond) - Pink Floyd
37. For Those About To Rock - AC/DC
38. Livin' On A Prayer - Bon Jovi
39. Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd

"Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child of the Holy Spirit; 19 and her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to send her away quietly. 20 But as he considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit; 21 she will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins" (Matthew 1:18–21).
The most common interpretation is that Matthew's story implies that Joseph was suspicious of Mary's pregnancy. In this view, Matthew's narrative insinuates that Joseph thought that Mary had been unfaithful to him and that the child was likely from another man. In sum, he did not want to put her to shame by revealing her unfaithfulness and expose her to the authorities. As is well known, the penalty stipulated in the Torah for such actions would have been capital punishment.
First, let's be honest: the view that Matthew intends us to think that Joseph was simply suspicious of Mary seems to have problems.
Some might object here on the grounds that I'm just hesitant to take such a view seriously because I'm a Catholic and such an interpretation might cause problems with Mariology. Actually, many Catholics do take this view though. So let's be clear; I'm not somehow dogmatically hamstrung here.
Actually, the real issue is that the "suspicion" reading causes real problems for the text of Matthew. I'd just ask that the reader to be open here and consider how such a reading seems problematic in light of Matthew's larger narrative and theology.
"He sought to put her away, because he saw in her a great sacrament, to approach which he thought himself unworthy." (Catena Aurea at Matt 1:19).
"Joseph was minded to put away the Blessed Virgin not as suspected of fornication, but because in reverence for her sanctity, he feared to cohabit with her" (Summa Theologica, III, q. 3, a. 3 ad 2).
So why then does it say Joseph did not want to expose Mary to shame? Joseph knew that, given her pregnancy, some--not knowing where the child had come from--would conclude the worst when they heard Joseph had divorced her. To save Mary from the appearance of being rejected for being unfaithful, Joseph thus decided to divorce her "quietly".
According to this approach, then, the angel's instruction to Joseph is not understood as revealing Mary's innocence as much as it is a revelation of God's plan: Joseph should not be afraid because God has ordained he shall play a part in the birth of the Messiah.
The angel thus says, "Do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife because (gar) what has been conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son and you will call his name Jesus."
Humility vs. Suspicion

Extremely Amusing People of Walmart Photos That Will Make Your Day!
To most Americans, the mass retailer Walmart is a national institution and a place which stocks and sells nearly everything imaginable, so it's only fitting their clientele are equally as diverse. But not in the ways you might think.
Indeed while America may be synonymous with multicultured societies, it appears the shoppers of Walmart have taken the idea of living in 'The Land of the Free' to a whole new level by displaying some truly bizarre outfits.
Here are some brilliant examples.

of DeliveryIn virtually all jurisdictions, hand delivery is considered
the optimal means of serving legal papers. Hand delivery involves physically placing
the papers into the recipient's hands. Properly documented and legally executed
hand delivery is extremely difficult to challenge in court. However, if the recipient
is evasive or uncooperative, hand delivery may not be possible.
Some jurisdictions
accept delivery by touch or a similar method. This can be defined in different
ways, but may include dropping the papers at the recipient's feet, for example.
If you are the process server, it is critical that you carefully document this
type of delivery, including photos if possible. Also be sure that you know the
exact wording and meaning of your jurisdiction's regulations regarding this form
of delivery.
Delivery by substitution may be allowed if hand delivery is
impossible. This form of delivery involves leaving the papers with a responsible
adult who lives with the recipient, or a management level employee at his place
of work. There is often a procedure that must be followed prior to instituting
this type of process serving, and additional follow-up steps may be required.
Be certain that you understand the laws prior to using this form of process serving.
extreme cases, delivery by publication or electronic notification may be allowed.
However, this is normally reserved for cases in which the recipient simply cannot
be located. Tread very carefully, as this type of process service can easily be
challenged legally.
Allowable Places, Times and Locations for Process
ServingIn some jurisdictions, you may serve the paperwork at any time,
in any location. However, special rules apply in some areas. You may not be permitted
to serve someone who is traveling to or from court. You may not be able to serve
papers on Sundays, although sometimes Sunday delivery is restricted only at the
person's home. Election Day and holidays may also be off limits.
You may
also be able to use the law to your advantage. For example, in some jurisdictions
it is illegal for a worker to interfere with process serving against a co-worker.
If you live in such a jurisdiction, you may find it easiest to serve papers at
the recipient's workplace.
Other RegulationsSome jurisdictions
require a process server to be licensed and/or bonded. Some areas permit a process
server to carry a weapon for self defense. Some locations provide process servers
with a laminated ID, although use of the ID may itself be governed by a series
of procedural regulations. Before acting as a process server, it is very important
that you understand all of your jurisdictions laws, rules and regulations. Failure
to properly follow guidelines may sink the case, or even cause you to be personally
sued or prosecuted.

Lizardmen are one of THE founding races of fantasy, having an important place all across the Dungeons & Dragons expanded universe (Dragonlance etc) and beyond, in fact even as recently as today with Mantic Games announcing a lizard man race (amongst others) for their new Kings of War expansion, Uncharted Empires.
Games Workshop have their own Lizardmen (called that until a recent name change to the Seraphon) and this week's White Dwarf sees them re-emerge from what we thought was their doom during The End Times.
Unfortunately, instead of giving some very old and very tired looking miniatures a much-needed revamp, we get the range repackaged! More on that later...
Also in this issue we see the release of the individual parts of the Tau Tidewall that was sold out on day of release last week, there's also Armies on Parade, some Tau-themed Paint Splatter, Forge World get a look in and a sneaky tease about next week's Horus Heresy dump!

+++The past is always with us+++
I've been tooling around with this idea and one of these guys for a while, but the newer one (top row) I just finished today and I start to see how these guys might look as a unit - primitive hand weapon and all!
What do you think? Beastmen in Tau service?
.To give you an idea of scale, here they are (below) next to my another one of my human Tau Auxiliaries who uses the same recipe as the last one I did a few weeks back.
By the look of this, Beastmen would certainly add some bulk as well as shock and awe to any Tau force!
Incidentally - what do you think of the grey backdrop instead of the usual explosion?
So what do you think? I know it's a bit different for the Tau, but it may just work...

'Goodbye' to a friend
Over the weekend, my colleagues and I learned that Nigel McFarlane has died. Besides being a well-known Mozilla, Web standards and open source advocate, Nigel served as a SearchOpenSource.com site expert and contributor.
Personally, I received this news with great sadness. Though ours was a business relationship, Nigel and I discovered that we had in common wicked senses of humor, a great love of Australia and water sports, and about the same 20-plus-year tenure in the IT industry. So, our shared meals and e-mail conversations were peppered with droll comments about our industry and our personal activities. For example, we shared stories about the state of technology since we started working, Nigel on a Z80-based System V and I on an Underwood manual typewriter. Also, Nigel attended one of my comedy performances in San Francisco last year, and he's the only person in IT I've ever invited to one. We skewered the other performers over dinner and pints afterward, and that was a memorable evening for me.
|Nigel McFarlane, open source analyst and author
Nigel's sense of humor was most evident in his column, Mozilla's Boston Tea Party. He got quite randy in the first draft of the story, but I was ready to roll with it. He reconsidered and made some cuts. Even so, he told me – with a nod and a wink -- that some of his more serious peers took him to task for that article.
Despite his humorous tone in that column, Nigel was right on the money about Firefox's impact on the IT world. In the column, Nigel told readers why he believed the Firefox browser -- with 22 million downloads at the time -- was going to be the Cinderella story of LinuxWorld Boston in February. The crowds there proved him right and continue to validate his enthusiasm for Firefox. It's now late June, and the little browser that could has surpassed 50 million downloads.
Nigel's most recent contribution to SearchEnterpriseLinux.com, Excavating ancient abbreviations in Linux, was published just a week ago on June 15. As usual, Nigel attacked this topic with his usual mix of humor and concrete tech advice.
An erudite fellow, Nigel was well versed in science, technology and software engineering. He was a leading commentator on Mozilla and Firefox technology and wrote a number of articles and books on the subject. His most recent book, Firefox Hacks, was published this year on March 14.
Nigel's contributions to SearchEnterpriseLinux.com were greatly appreciated by our readers, who sent many positive responses. He provided a great service to our community and to our staff. He will be greatly missed.
Jack Loftus and Amy Kucharik contributed to this piece.

Gem features one standout piece from a local shop. Whether it's a jacket, necklace, or handbag, it's on our have-to-have list.
What: To wear a cape well is no easy feat. There's the association with superhero costumery, Little Red Riding Hood and James Brown connections, and its use as a royal cover-up. Even if you shake off all that imagery, there's a good chance the outerwear simply won't flatter you.
That's not the case with this vintage capelet. In warm wool with a neutral plaid color scheme, the coat could read Betty Draper throwback or modern-day chic.
Where: Petit joy Vintage
Cost: $44
See also: - Hard Goods: Designs and Concrete Goods by Local Artists in Uptown Phoenix - Target + Neiman Marcus Holiday Collection: The Good, The Give-Aways, and The Gimmes - Gem: BB Dakota Belted Coat at Lilly
Style It: We imagine taking this cape for a chilly, winter walk, latte in hand. Counter the voluminous cape with tapered leg pants from Burberry Prorsum, pleated with a paperbag waist for visual texture should the cape be worn open, and Loeffler Randall wedge booties to lengthen the legs, further balancing the silhouette. Tuck into those a plum top from Chinti and Parker. Accessorize in the coat's neutral tones with Rag & Bone driving gloves, a Madewell tote in leopard print, and a pair of crystal and pearl Bijoux Heart earrings that look like they could be tree toppers.

We had a great weekend. With Mother's Day on Sunday my son offered to prepare dinner of my choice which he knows is always a great offer. Meals always taste better when someone else prepares them. My choice was turkey reuben sandwiches on texas toast with fresh, wild asparagus on the side. YUMMMM!
In other weekend events…..I attempted my first game of disc golf with my immobility boot. We went to a course on the UW Green Bay campus.
Not a great game for me but it was still fun. I had a hard time getting up the hills with that darn boot on but with a little help I managed. It was a gorgeous day and we saw many families playing together which is always nice to see.
Saturday morning our son was working so my husband and I headed out to a recreational trail for some wild asparagus picking.
No one in my family eats asparagus except me however, my husband enjoys picking it.
While we were nearby we also stopped at my favorite fish market and purchased some smoked salmon. My mouth literally starts watering the second I walk in and smell their fabulous smoked fish.
Which reminds me, have you tried this Korean BBQ pork jerky yet? We found ours at Costco….I highly recommend it!
After a full day of activity, it was time to relax and try out my new resistance band exercises on my healthy ankle. In one more week I will be able to start exercising both ankles and hopefully they are healthy enough to attempt our big vacation in a few weeks.
I was able to use the medium resistance band on my good ankle. I can only imagine that my injured ankle will not be as strong, but we'll see soon enough.
What does your family do for fun?
Have you ever picked something wild and fed it to your family?
