Hubby noticed that the coffee we had been buying seemed bitter. We use filtered water and had a new coffee maker. So I told him to do what my mom used to do. Add a little pinch of salt to the grounds before turning on the coffee maker. It does work!
We have tried several brands of coffee with and without the salt. Salt wins! I know people will say to cut down on salt, but the little dab it takes to make the coffee better is worth it.

I have done several posts about my spilling stuff all over the place. Here is yet another. When I move to another place I always choose the shortest length of counter space, wasted space as it were, for my coffee brewing station. I fill my canister in the sink so as not to spill it on the counter. I now have a way to avoid spilling the water all over. If your sink faucet has the sprayer attached to the faucet instead of off to the side you can fill your coffee maker with that. It works great and no water slopped all over.

Tired of finding coffee grounds in the bottom of your pot? Here's a tip to keep them in the basket, where they belong!
When you set up your grounds basket, instead of using just the one filter under the grounds, add another to cover the grounds.
The top filter will help to keep the grounds from splashing over the edges of the bottom filter and into your pot of coffee.
You don't have to use two of the exact type filters, if you have a coffee maker that requires use of the cone shape - which are more expensive. Just use a cheaper ruffled filter to cover the grounds. Nest it around the mound of coffee grounds and press against the side of the basket.
You will be enjoying pot after pot of grounds-free coffee. Enjoy!

Pouring water from the carafe into the coffee maker usually included a lot of water spilling onto the counter. To avoid this mess, I pull the kitchen spigot which has the hose for rinsing the sink, etc. out and over the coffeemaker. Fills quickly and easily with no spillage.

I've been having problems with coffee filters collapsing and letting grounds into the coffee pot, plus gunking up the filter basket. The following solution has worked well for me and I haven't had a problem since...
I just discovered the best cuppa Joe possible far as staying fresh. The secret? Buy your own coffee grinder (found mine, plus the coffee beans at Kroger). Do NOT grind the beans at the store.
Coffee too hot and needs to be cooled down? Are you in a rush? Do you not want to put watery ice in your coffee? It depends on how you like your coffee.
Always rinse coffee filters before brewing coffee. This removes any loose paper fibers that can end up in your brew and make your coffee taste papery.
Coffeemakers have a glass canister to hold our coffee that somehow leaks, no matter what when you pour from it. I found a simple way to stop the leaking when you pour, which is to lift the spout that covers the canister where the liquid is stored.
I bought two carafes; one for coffee and one for tea. As soon as I make either, I pour it into it's designated carafe. Instead of sitting on the hotplate or having to be reheated over and over it's ready anytime and tastes better too.
Ask a QuestionHere are the questions asked by community members. Read on to see the answers provided by the ThriftyFun community or ask a new question.
I want to make a good pot of Coffee and I can't ever measure the amount of coffee to the amount of water. What does everyone else find works for them? I made the strongest "put the hair on your chest" coffee this morning and DH won't drink it. :-(
My husband and I tend to like our coffee on the stronger side. However we use a 1/4 measuring cup (For 10 cups) that we leave in the coffee container every morning.
I generally decrease my coffee scoops to about 3 to the amount of water. If I have 8 cups of water I generally add about 5 scoops of coffee. I have never had any complaints on my coffee.
I use a 1/2 tablespoon measuring spoon and use 1 spoonful (a little heaping) for every cup of water. I don't use the measuring spoon for anything else, so it stays in the coffee can. Also, the type of coffee will affect how strong it is; Colombian and French Roast are stronger than, say, your brand's regular blend, and flavored coffee tends to be mellower. Freshly ground coffee may also be stronger, depending on the type. You may need to adjust the amount depending on what type of coffee you have. And do invest in good coffee. That will make a difference too.
I put in one scoop (1 TBL.) of coffee per 2 c. water.
So 10 C. cofee maker, 5 scoops.
Here is one thing to remember. A standard "cup of coffee" is only 6oz. (not the standard 8 oz. like you learned when baking.)
We use the scoop that comes in the instant iced tea mix w/ sugar, not the diet kind. We use 1 1/2 scoops of coffee for a pot of 10 cups & leave the scoop in the coffee can. Also use the same measurement for our 8 cup thermal caraffe coffeemaker. Goes to show, each pot is different. Never converted this to an actual unit of measure.
I typically use one or two tablespoons per cup. It depends on the variety of coffee I am using. I like very strong coffee -- like French Roast. I also try not to make more than I can drink at any given time. Coffee that sits around for hours starts to taste really stale. I have a tablespoon that I have designated as my coffee measure.
I have a 32 cup, Empire Harvest Gold coffee maker that belonged to my parents. I want to use it at a party this weekend but I have no instruction on how much coffee to use for 32 cups of coffee. I want to make it medium. Please email me at "parmagary at yahoo dot com
Thank You!
I'm a caterer and we have the darnedest time trying to come up with the right amount of coffee grounds for lets say 10-20-30-or even forty cups of coffee. We use Folger's so if anyone can help with a simple measuring device, You will be my best friend forever.
Editor's Note: The recommended amount per cup is 1 Tablespoon ground coffee. There are 16 Tablespoons per cup. For 10 cups it would be 1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp. For 20 cups it would be 1 1/4 cups. For 30 cups it would be 1 3/4 cups plus 2 Tbsp. for 40 cups it would be 2 1/2 cups.
Hope this helps.
I Would like to know how many tbsp of coffee for 6 or 12 cups of water.I tend not to find the right measurements of coffee for the right amount of water.
I have roasted my own coffee for many years, and use several different methods to brew, (vacuum, drip, french press). 1 measured Tbsp. per 6 oz. cup is a good starting point, but there are many factors. Water temp, freshness of coffee, type of grind, etc. as to make any generalization pointless. Experiment! Vary the amount and record your results. Remember, use the same coffee, water, coffee maker etc. each time and change only the amt. of coffee. You will be amazed at the difference a little change will make. Decide on your own preference, and enjoy!
i used a shot glass as a measurement for 5 cups 1 full shot glass it's a medium size shot and it tastes just right try several times until you get the perfect taste of your own.
My Hamilton Beach 42 cup percolator says: 3/4 cup grounds to 12 cups of water; 1 cup for 18 cups; 1 1/2 cup for 24 cups; 1 3/4 for 12 cups; 2 1/4 for 36 cups and 2 1/2 cups for for 42 cups.
I went to the Dollar Tree and bought a set of two coffee measurement spoons that are 1/8 cup and first did 3 of the scoops for a 12 cup coffee maker and realized it was too strong. Then I did two scoops for a 12 cup coffee maker and it was perfect. So I hope it helps: ^ )
I would like to make a 12 cups of coffee, how much coffee do I need?
By Blanch H. from West Chester, PA
When using a Bunn coffeemaker, can you make smaller amounts of coffee instead of a whole pot?
By meme7_2000
I make 4 cups every morning just add 4 cups of water and 2 scoops of coffee. The instructions in my book say 4 cups is the least you can make.
And if you want just one cup, try one of the coffee filters/holders that sit on top of your coffee cup. 1 Tbsp of coffee, pour on the boiling water, and enjoy!
I have a 12 cup drip coffee maker. I buy Maxwell House coffee and it comes with a scoop. How many do I need for 12 cups?
We just bought a cheap coffee maker like always and after it's brewed there is a film on top of the coffee right away, not after letting it sit. I use filtered water. What am I doing wrong?
By Sharilyn
I do not have purified water coming from my sink faucet, so I can't fill the coffee pot with the sink sprayer. Now what do I do for good water for my coffee?
By Carol
Everybody that I know uses water straight from the tap to make coffee.

Transparency Market Research has published a new research report titled "Terrestrial Laser Scanning Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth Trends, and Forecast 2015 - 2023" to their report store.
Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/28/2016 -- The extremely fragmented nature of the global terrestrial laser scanning market is expected to hold a high level of competition, even for key players with a global reach. This includes Faro Technologies and Fugro N.V. – key players who held a collective market share of 21.41% in 2014. The majority of the terrestrial laser scanner makers are owned by private players, while only a handful of the key companies are publically traded.
The global market for terrestrial laser scanners is expected to progress at a CAGR of 14.9% within a forecast period from 2015 to 2023, in terms of revenue. The market is expected to account for revenues worth US$958.95 mn by the end of 2016 and US$2.52 bn by the end of 2023.The competitive edge in the global terrestrial laser scanning market is expected to get sharper over time, owing to the strengthening hold of regional players in comparison to global players, the introduction of product innovation that will lead to large scale product differentiation, and the large number of vertically integrated manufacturers. These manufacturers hold key advantages in terms of product quality as well as lower product cost.
Download Sample PDF report with TOC: http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/sample/sample.php?flag=S&rep_id=3950
According to a new report released by Transparency Market Research, the threat posed by new entrants on the global terrestrial laser scanning market is expected to remain low till 2023. This factor is attributed to the large presence of regional players with strong distribution networks, coupled with high regulatory pressure.
Users Demand Higher Efficiency Moving Towards Using Terrestrial Laser Scanners
High accuracy, faster data capture, and positioning simplicity are the key factors that differentiate terrestrial laser scanners with conventional measurement methods," states a TMR analyst. "There is a growing need for gathering real-time data in multiple industries, including construction, oil and gas, and manufacturing. These industries can not only reduce process costs using the right kind of terrestrial laser scanner, but can also cut down on the time it takes to complete a project.
Roadways and highway construction projects find an especially valuable use for terrestrial laser scanners owing to the enhanced safety measures that can be implemented using them. Additionally, the introduction of 3D terrestrial laser scanners has also immensely amplified the demand for such scanners, due to their unparalleled measurement speeds and accuracy.
New Players Deterred by High Expenses
A key restraint acting on the manufacturers of terrestrial laser scanners, especially new entrants, is the sheer cost of the instruments. A typical terrestrial laser scanning system comprises a scanner, laser, keypad, mobile device, operating software, and a TCP/IP interface. All these are expensive components that severely impact the budget allocations within a company. Additionally, they have to bear the extra costs of running the terrestrial laser scanners in various projects, further hindering the market's overall growth.
Asia Pacific Demand for Terrestrial Laser Scanners Soars
Asia Pacific is expected to continue generating considerable demand for terrestrial laser scanners in the near future. By 2023, Asia Pacific is expected to hold 28.76% of the global market's value. North America is expected to follow Asia Pacific in terms of terrestrial laser scanners market value, with Europe trailing the two regions, till 2023.
Diode lasers have consistently been the most popular type of terrestrial laser scanners. By the end of 2023, their market revenue is expected to reach US$1.28 bn. Meanwhile, fiber laser scanners have been rapidly gaining popularity among application industries and it is projected to expand at a CAGR of 18.7% from 2015 to 2023.
Many application industries are finding optical triangulation technology extremely advantageous in terrestrial laser scanners. As a result, this segment is expected to expand at a CAGR of 13.4% from 2015 to 2023.
The construction industry has been a key consumer of terrestrial laser scanners for a long time. On the other hand, the demand for these scanners is expected to be the highest in the BIM industry, where it is expected to expand at a CAGR of 18.4% from 2015 to 2023.

DAM_SCOUT seems like a simple enough app; scan a code, receive content, done. Coming to the end solution was anything but simple, though. There's really quite a bit going on.

Slider Section
Slider is the first thing that your visitors will see, since it has the biggest size on your page and it is placed at the top of page, so it is an excellent place for the most relevant products, important promos, or something like this. It is important to capture the visitor's attention and spark his interest in the first seconds of the stay on the site, like the saying goes "A bad beginning makes a bad ending", so we advise you to pay special attention to the slider. In this section you can turn on or turn off slider on inner pages. Sometime it is better to show page content at the top and don't force users to scroll through the page. Specifying speed and delay for changing slides, you should pick up the values, with which users will have enough time to review the slides before the change. In the last option you can choose a slides changing effect.

Miseducation opened in May of 2011 and was a success. it has even lead to another solo show coming together for me this coming october 2011.
This was an exciting opportunity to combine my latest ideas of mixed media- incorporating silk screen photographs and patterns, fabrics, clothes, objects, papers, inks, and markers: collaging, images of collage and so and so forth. I love the concept of a picture within a picture, and how the viewer can become part of this infinite sort of 'picture'.

Welcome to the True Crime Fan Club Podcast
The True Crime Fan Club Podcast has been a one woman show since its conception in October, 2016. From research and writing to post production, I do it all!
The crimes covered in my show range from the seemingly innocent granny who poisons her victims to the serial killer who conned the state of Wisconsin.
It was my background in public speaking and the survival of an attempted carjacking that lead me into the world of true crime podcasting.
The first time I had a gun pointed at me, I was six years old. Our car had died on the side of the I-635 highway in Dallas. My mother's boyfriend had gone to get gas while we waited in the car. While we waited, two men walked up to our car, and placed the muzzle of a gun up to my mother's head. The other man pointed his gun at my brothers and I. Thankfully, we survived the incident and the only thing lost that night was my mother's gold jewelry. But it was an experience that had forever changed me.
As a survivor, I wanted to share my story, along with the stories of others who've found themselves in unfortunate circumstances. This is the primary reason that the concept for True Crime Fan Club was born.
OK, on to the show….

While Out Op Shopping....
My heart skipped a beat when I came across this fabulous chair. I had my husband sit on it while I rushed to the counter to buy it. When op shopping, it is the quick and the dead!!
This is a close up of the fabric.... don't you just love it? I am still at a loss as to why anyone wouldn't want this beautiful chair but it has found a loving home with me and is certainly cherished. I have it in our bedroom, away from messy teenagers, and is just perfect for quiet reading or just thinking.....

Trying for brilliance, measuring for sanity....
It's been a while since I posted...sorry about that. I don't normally post on Mondays but since I've missed a week, I felt it best to just dig in and let the brain juice separate from the brain pulp. (Did I mention it's HOT here in Seattle? We are melting).
Lately I have been obsessed with the cleaning and sparkling part of community work. That is, removing the comment spammers from blogs.msdn.com. Deleting the spam posts from Gotdotnet By the way, the GDN community ROCKS - they always tell me when someone isn't playing nice and then I get to smite them, low, with the mightly delete button of admin super-powers! :-) ). The sparkling part are the metrics reports; trying to make sense of how many visitors and what they did while they wandered the community applications MSDN oversees or has affections for. I know there are diamonds in the numbers, but you gotta dig through a lot of carbon to figure out what they are. And it's hard to quantify "community" in the first place.
My predecessor was fond of saying to people that community is like marriage - yes, you can describe the qualities that attract you to that person and them to you, but there have been plenty of urban, upscale, beautiful and kindly couples that don't survive matrimony and plenty of strange, "how did those two get together" couples that have lasted longer than Star Trek has been in reruns.
A good marriage has an unquantifiable element, and community is the same - I can draw lines around it with words ("buzz" "membership acquisition" "customer touch" "tipping point") but I can never really pinpoint that moment where someone simply decides to be kind, put themselves out there, and answer a question in a newsgroup. The point where someone looks around the Web site, decides that they like it, and uploads a user sample to Gotdotnet. The moment where, frustrated that there isn't enough out there for developers of their ilk, stand up and create a user group of their own. Yes, this blog post is heading into Betsy's "community woo woo" zone, but it's those moments that make the cleanup and the deleting worthwhile. I clean out the unworthy, so that the worthy may enter. :-)
Actually, I also live for the times when Gotdotnet users tell me to get in there and just smite them, but that's just my overheated crankiness today. Pray for rain.....:D

|Wide row column slicing - row size shard limit
|Wed, 15 Feb 2012 18:40:24 GMT
Hello experts, Based on this blog of Basic Time Series with Cassandra data modeling, http://rubyscale.com/blog/2011/03/06/basic-time-series-with-cassandra/ "This (wide row column slicing) works well enough for a while, but over time, this row will get very large. If you are storing sensor data that updates hundreds of times per second, that row will quickly become gigantic and unusable. The answer to that is to shard the data up in some way" There is a limit on how big the row size can be before slowing down the update and query performance, that is 10MB or less. Is this still true in Cassandra latest version? or in what release Cassandra will remove this limit? Manually sharding the wide row will increase the application complexity, it would be better if Cassandra can handle it transparently. Thanks, Charlie | DBA & Developer p.s.

Recent developments in macroeconomics resurrect the view that welfare costs of inflation arise because the latter acts as a tax on money balances. Empirical contributions show that wage re-negotiations take place while expiring contracts are still in place. Bringing these seemingly unrelated aspects together in a stylized general equilibrium model, we find a disciplining effect of a positive inflation target on the wage markup and identify a long-term trade-off between inflation and output. This has important policy implications, ranging from the opportunity of revising the target in response to shocks, to the possibility of exploiting inflation as a tool to increase tax revenues via its employment- enhancing effect.

The first dog came into their lives in 1944. They were living in Hachimantai, an undeveloped and remote part of Akita, the north-westernmost prefecture of Japan, after which the dog breed was named, and a 22-hour train ride from Tokyo in those days. Kitako Sawatoishi was 23, raising their first two children, a toddler and an infant. Her husband, Morie, was 28 and an engineer for Mitsubishi, assigned to electrify the far north, a region that had struggled with poverty and harsh weather for centuries. Even in the best of times, it was a forbiddingly beautiful but neglected part of Japan. Only two cities in the region had power in those days – Odate and Akita City – and the rest of the large prefecture of Akita was without electricity, piped-in gas, or heat throughout the long winter.
After decades of wars and skirmishes in Asia, Japan was now fighting the West. Three years into the Second World War, millions of Japanese had died on the battlefront and millions more were starving at home. But every day on the radio, the news was always encouraging. 'We were winning, they always said, and victory was just around the corner,' Kitako says.
But the war dragged on, and food became almost impossible to come by. Proper winter clothes – coats and boots – weren't available either. Kitako learnt to make sandals out of straw, the same shoes she had been horrified to see the locals wearing when she first arrived in Akita. The air strikes on the cities of Japan began, city after city turned to ash. It seemed relatively safe in the mountains, but nobody knew when things had been worse.
Morie was on his way to another snow-country village that winter when he met up with a doctor he knew, a man who had kept akitas before the war. Morie and the doctor discussed the war, swapping stories about how bad things had got. 'You know how bad things are?' the doctor asked Morie. 'People are eating their dogs.' Desperate for money, they were selling the pelts to the military, which used them to line winter coats.
In some snow-country villages it was illegal to have a dog at all. The police rounded them up and clubbed them. The doctor had been trying to keep track of how many akitas were left. It was widely acknowledged that they would soon be wiped out.
He thought of Hachiko, the most famous dog in Japan, a pale-yellow akita owned by a Tokyo University professor in 1920. The professor had taught his dog, as a puppy, to accompany him every morning to the Shibuya train station and then, at four o'clock in the afternoon, to return to meet his train. The two of them were a familiar sight at the station, and people marvelled at the dog's loyalty and obedience. When Hachiko was two years old, though, the professor had a stroke at work and was taken to hospital where he eventually died, never seeing his dog again. Yet Hachiko continued to meet the four o'clock train at Shibuya every day for the next nine years.
Souvenirs and postcard pictures of Hachiko were sold at the station. A song was written – Loyal Hachiko – and taught to schoolchildren all over Japan. Morie was 11 years old in 1927 when he read in the newspaper that a bronze statue of the akita had been erected at Shibuya, on the spot where the dog liked to wait.
Morie knew the Japanese government had used the story of Hachiko as propaganda to promote loyalty to the emperor and it bothered him to have heard, not long before, that the bronze statue of the dog had been melted down. So many things of Morie's childhood weren't surviving the war. And so many things that he loved about his country didn't seem important to most people any more. What had happened to Japan? Who would be as loyal as a dog if there were no dogs left?
As he walked home in the snow, a thought occurred to Morie. What if he bought the best akita he could find and kept it alive until the war was over? Perhaps there were dogs available to save and a network could be assembled.
By the time Japan surrendered in the summer of 1945, there were said to be only 16 akitas left in the country. Morie owned two of them. The following spring, with a litter of puppies on the way, Morie hosted the first post-war dog show in the snow country, an informal gathering of all the men who had kept dogs hidden during the war – a backyard affair that sounds, from his descriptions, as much about sake as it was about dogs.
The restitution of the akita breed became Morie's passion and the decisive factor of his life. He raised four children with Kitako, and continued to build power plants for Mitsubishi until he retired at 63, but every spare moment of his life Morie spent training or showing his dogs, or hunting in the mountains with them. Eventually, as the akita breed began to stabilize genetically and conform to a set of physical standards, Morie gravitated to dogs with kisho, or spirit – energy, shrewdness, intelligence, courage.
Over the years, he guesses that he has raised or trained 100 akitas – many of them superb show champions as well as hunters. There was Three Good Lucks, a beautiful red dog who was poisoned by a rival owner. There was One Hundred Tigers, a very promising puppy for the show ring, until he lost his tail in a fence. Victory Princess was a stray with a biting problem who was dropped off at Morie's door.
In autumn 2007, when Morie's beautiful champion akita Shiro died at 15 – an unimaginably old age for an akita – Morie wondered if it wasn't time for him to go, too. He planned a big funeral for his great white champion. A priest and dozens of mourners came. Morie still had two younger akitas left, but he lacked the energy to show them or take them hunting.
In June 2008, an earthquake came – the largest earthquake in Japan for seven years. Its epicentre was in Kurikoma, not too far from the Sawataishis' house. Windows were shattered, a landslide caused a boulder to roll into the kitchen. Morie and Kitako, as well as the dogs, were forced to evacuate to the suburbs of Tokyo where their daughter Ryoko, a university professor of veterinary medicine, has a house and small animal clinic. It was a very difficult transition for Morie. 'From having unlimited space in the mountains to being in a crowded suburb – it was a big adjustment,' Mamoru says.
Not long after the ministry of disaster declared the Sawataishis' mountain house uninhabitable for the time being, Morie was taken to hospital for high blood pressure and various other ailments. He stubbornly refused life-saving drugs or treatments. On October 22 he died with Kitako at his side. He was 92.
'I've over-lived,' Morie used to joke. He lasted much longer than he had expected. And he wasn't afraid to die. He had seemed quite happy as he talked about dying – almost joyful. 'At least I know what my life has been about.'

If you're planning a trip to visit this park/garden, it's all worth it. There's really a big difference when nature calls...the beauty is mesmerizing seeing the giant red rocks formed. There is so much to learn with the rocks. You can go further inside the park by driving seeing all those various forms of big rocks along the way. Then, you'll gonna see the beauty of the whole garden as well viewing from the side of the road.
You can further take a by foot tour in the garden. It needs a lot of walking, so be prepared to wear a comfortable shoes and necessary clothing protection depending on the weather. We were there last fall, and it was kinda chilly and sunny. If you love shopping, you can drop by at the gift shop for souvenirs at the Visitor and Nature Center gift shop. Have fun!

This of course makes packing a little bit of a headache, so we have come up with some tips for the gear we trust the most to serve you, no matter the season! Most importantly, remember that a Hurtigruten voyage is about seeing the incredible Norwegian coastline in relaxed comfort, so bring comfortable clothes that allow you to participate in various activities. There is no requirement to change for dinner onboard and the dress code is casual.
This list presumes you already have your basic holiday essentials and builds on that. First of all, don't forget your camera! You'll certainly be creating some unforgettable memories and it will be nice to be able to share them with your friends when you return home through photos. And bring along an extra memory card too: even if you don't use it, it's better to have space than to run out.
From the panorama decks onboard, there are some great opportunities to spot wildlife so a set of binoculars can really come in hand. There are many day and shore excursions on offer on the Hurtigruten Coastal Voyages so it is a good idea to bring a small backpack, just big enough for your camera, jacket, a water bottle and maybe some souvenirs you pick up along the way.
If you forget anything in your excitement about your impending adventure, the Hurtigruten onboard shops carry a selected range of high quality knitwear, clothing, souvenirs and gift items. In addition, there is also a small selection of toiletries available for purchase.

On the road is where people mingle, meet, and interact.
He introduced himself as Santa Clause in the middle of the Frankfurt, Germany terminal. It was 2-in-the-morning-ish but you couldn't tell from his demeanor. He had a banjo. He was was a missionary headed to India to spread the gospel by banjo-ing. It was 2011.
A few years later, wandering down a crowded walkway at the International Conference of Missions, I bump into a portly man sporting a grey beard and a familiar banjo. It was Santa Claus. He says "I remember you!" It was odd because of the two of us, I figured I would be the one more easily forgettable. Had I not gone out on the road, I never would meet such interesting people.
The same can be said for Jesus. Luke 9.51 reads:
As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.
The NIV renders the phrase 'resolutely set out' translating a greek idiom. The greek literally reads: he "established his face toward Jerusalem". The idea is that he would not be deterred from making his way to Jerusalem. This verse begins a section of Luke that would be called the Travel Narrative by scholars. The reason is that Jesus is continually traveling up to Jerusalem. Along the way he keeps meeting people. Also of note is that the material contained in Luke 9-19, the Travel Narrative, is largely unique to Luke and not found in other Gospels. What fascinates me is what these people who meet Jesus leave with.
Some left with teaching. "As they walked along the road…" (10.57), "Jesus replied, 'No one who puts a hand to the plow and loks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.'" (10.62) They learn the cost of following Jesus. He teaches them about prayer, the how and the why (11) and on worry (12.22ff). As he "went through towns and villages, teaching as he made his way to Jerusalem…"(13.22), "he said to them, 'make every effort to enter through the narrow door…" (13.23ff), teaching them the difficulty of salvation. "Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said…whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple…those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples." (14.25,27,33) He touched on eternal life (10.25; 18.18); hypocrisy (12.1); and the Sabbath (13.15). Some meet Jesus on the road and need some wisdom. His message is clear, "here's how to be a disciple!" which is the perfect message given that the stage is a road, where discipleship is shown.
Some left with healing. There were some that shown up on this road with some physical baggage that needed to be handled. There was the man who had the demon (11.14); a crippled woman (13.11); a man with swelling (14.2); and the Ten Lepers (17.11). He was on his way to Jerusalem, but it was never beyond his time to show mercy and compassion to these people. Healing would always have a place and time on this road. These people knew that meeting Jesus would change their lives. That is why the last healing, the blind beggar in Jericho, was one that was instigated by a man shouting out Jesus name and causing a scene. When all you have known your entire life is blindness and begging, Jesus is your only viable option and you would do what you could to get to him. (18.35)
Some left with a story. This travel narrative is full of stories. Jesus is constantly telling these short stories that make a point. Jesus knew that stories stick with people so he uses this method to change people. The stories are the ones that everyone grew up with…
- "There was a man who had two sons…" (Luke 15)
- "A certain man was preparing a great banquet…" (Luke 14)
- "The Kingdom is like a mustard seed…" (Luke 13)
- "Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them…" (Luke 15)
- "Two men went up to the temple to pray…" (Luke 18)
And there are others on the road. A parable is a simple story with a deeper significance. Each of these stories were meant to teach a truth to the person(s) there. The prodigal son puts the love of God and the pride of righteousness on display. The great banquet is a meal open to anyone who will respond. The mustard seed is 12 men who changed the world. The lost sheep is the persistent love of God. The Pharisee and Tax collector offer insight into pride and hubris. I'm going to borrow a term from Aristotle to describe the literary device that Jesus employs. The term is anagnorisis which means "discovery". Nearly every story begins by our identification with the hero of the story, the good son or the Pharisee, but by the end of the story, we realize that we have problems. In an instant, we discover that maybe we don't have it all together.
So there he is on the road. Wandering back and forth between the countryside and Jerusalem. He is meeting and walking with any who would take the time to come to him. What is it that you need to meet Jesus on this road about? Do you need teaching? A reminder concerning worry, prayer, discipleship? Maybe it's healing? Do you need his power to overcome depression or addiction? Maybe it's a story? Perhaps you just need to meet him to get a good story?
Its time we get out and meet him on the road.

Netherlands – Councillor suggests symbolic rainbow crosswalks in Zutphen
A pedestrian crossing in Rainbow colors. From red to violet. Possible soon in Zutphen.
The proposal for this particular crossover comes from mountain City Councillor Babs importance.
She requested the college this week to adopt an active attitude towards gay acceptance. In doing so, she thinks to a colored zebra crossing.
"The aim is to showcase as a municipality does not tolerate discrimination for their sexual orientation. Zutphen is a fair progressive municipality, but it is also important that you do something. That you contribute to raise awareness, "said Berg, whose story was received with applause in the Council. "A pedestrian crossing in Rainbow colors, as for example in Tel Aviv or San Fransisco, is there a means for. But you would possibly also can think of the famous Rainbow flag. "
The municipality does not respond, leave a proposal a better funiture arrangement spokeswoman know when prompted. "We are going to study the feasibility." She points out that such a zebra crossing may be only symbolic. "The legislation provides that zebra crossings should be white."
In Utrecht is also a rainbow zebra crossing this year.

Alhamdulillah! Madrassa An-Noor for the Blind began online classes in July 2016. There was a desperate need for this as many blind individuals throughout the world did not have the opportunity to learn how to read the Holy Qur'an and to learn other important subjects about Islam. Through the Grace and Mercy of Allah Ta'ala, this initiative has been very successful and we currently have students from Australia, Indonesia, United Kingdom, United States of America, Malawi, Thailand, Kenya, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Our online classes are headed by our team at Madrassa An-Noor, in Cedara, together with a network of our ex-students in various countries throughout the globe, who facilitate and accommodate our blind brothers and sisters in overcoming barriers such as language differences, time differences etc. This is a significant breakthrough as the issues of safety and the necessary observance of Hijaab for our sisters are solved, Alhamdulillah.
We have a structured course which begins with teaching a blind person how to read the Holy Qur'aan in Braille, moving ahead to other aspects of Tauheed, Fiqh, Seerah etc. All of this is offered through the medium of English, Urdu, Arabic, Swahili, Thai, Bengali, French etc. Smartphone users together with analogue phone users are catered for. We ship out hard copies of all the necessary required books to our students wherever they may be, and thereafter their course begins. May Allah Ta'ala accept our initiative and make it go from strength to strength. Aameen.
Here is a report from one of our Online Students:
"My name is NurulHikmah. I am from Indonesia. I got information about Madrassa An Noor's online course from one of my friends from Roudatul Makfufeen Foundation in Indonesia. I was extremely excited to hear about this opportunity for me to learn how to read the Holy Qur'aan in Braille and immediately enrolled for the course. I did attend a school for the blind in my town, but was never introduced to the learning of the Holy Qur'aan in Braille. Alhamdulillah, in approximately five months I learnt to read the Qur'aan in Braille. I really enjoyed learning with Madrassa An Noor and wish to continue learning other subjects this year. I like to whole heartedly thank Madrassa An Noor and my Ustaadh for this wonderful opportunity and request all your duaas."

Joined the community as I recently treated myself to lovely Galaxy S2 and am loving it. I had a Samsung i8510 previously but never used it to capacity as only used it for texting and calls so this new baby is altogether different and exciting. Can't believe how user friendly it seems but there are bound to be a few things I do not find second nature so am confident I will find the tips and answers here.
Looking forward to my visits.

We took that very question to doctors across the United States. Here's how to make steps towards a healthy future, according to some medical experts.
"Increase your daily activity! Over the years, I have made an effort to ask all my elderly patients what their secret is, and they almost all say that they take a daily walk. Incorporate walking into daily life, walk to work, walk your kids to school or take an evening stroll."
— Keri Robertson, MD, emergency medicine at Swedish Covenant Hospital in Chicago, Illinois
"There's a few things I recommend: Get plenty of sleep, think positively, maintain healthy relationships, be mindful and manage your stress, eat a well-balanced diet, exercise daily and minimize bad habits. I think these are key components to healthy lifestyle."
— Igor Prus, MD, a board-certified sports medicine physician with Swedish Covenant Medical Group in Chicago, Illinois.
"To me the most important is regular exercise—ideally a type that is somewhat challenging, but even simply walking. A sedentary lifestyle is one of the easiest ways to age quickly."
— Bruce McNulty, MD, chief medical officer at Swedish Covenant Hospital in Chicago, Illinois
"I think if people were more active and obtained close to 10,000 steps daily, they would face less health problems later in life, especially if combined with healthy eating. I think tracking steps is a great way to have fun while being active."
— Steve Attanasio, MD, interventional cardiologist with Swedish Covenant Medical Group in Chicago, Illinois
"No matter when you start, staying physically active brings many health benefits with minimal side effects. Physical activity has been shown to help with chronic pain, chronic fatigue, improved mood and better cardiovascular health. If there is one change that I would encourage patients to make as they get older, it's to engage in cardiovascular and strength training activities at least three days a week."
— Angel Rivera, MD, functional and integrative medicine physician with Swedish Covenant Medical Group in Chicago, Illinois
"Maintain a healthy weight. By staying active and eating a well-balanced diet, you can decrease a major risk factor for developing knee osteoarthritis, which will allow you to remain active and have a better quality of life.
— John Nickless, MD, primary care/sports medicine physician, Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush, Chicago, Illinois
"In addition to pursuing regular aerobic exercise, try to participate in activities like yoga or others that emphasize flexibility. Maintaining flexibility is an excellent way to avoid musculoskeletal injury."
— Robert Wysocki, MD, hand, wrist and elbow specialist, Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush, Chicago, Illinois
"Maintain good family relationships and live an honest life."
— Edward Goldberg, MD, spine specialist, Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush, Chicago, Illinois
"Lift weights. This builds muscle and increases bone density."
— Kamran Hamid, MD, foot and ankle specialist, Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush, Chicago, Illinois
"This may sound obvious, but learning how to relax would lead to a better sense of wellbeing, better cognitive functioning, sleep, pain management and better overall physical health. The mind-body connection is powerful and usually unrecognized as something we can control. Learning meditation is easy and accessible. There are classes to experience group practice and participation or for privacy there are many downloadable apps. There is a benefit to learn one or several techniques and practice them daily. Some take less than a minute, some up to 15 – 20 minutes."
— Elaine Rodino, Ph.D., psychologist in private practice in State College, Pennsylvania and Santa Monica, California
"If I had to make one suggestion, it's exercise! And when I say exercise, I strongly encourage both aerobic and strength training. Both are quite helpful, and both improve your sense of well-being, in different ways. Strength training is often overlooked. We all know that that type of exercise decreases our chances of developing osteoporosis—but a concept that is really being discussed these days by docs who deal with later life issues is the concept of "sarcopenia" or decreasing muscle mass. Muscle strength is also very important for balance, which is crucial when we talk about preventing falls, and it is the fall which tends to precipitate the fracture, which can be devastating."
— Mary Jane Minkin, MD, Clinical Professor of Obstetrics & Gynecology at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut
"Enjoy sex after menopause. [To do that, a woman] needs to know the physiology of menopause, so she understands what is happening when it happens. Although every woman's experiences are unique to her, none of us are alone. And she needs to know some new sexual techniques that will keep sex enjoyable as she ages."
— Barb DePree, MD, Ob/Gyn at Lakeshore Health Partners in Zeeland, Michigan and founder of the site MiddleSexMD
"Menopause is known as the change, but things don't have to change for the worse. In fact, for many women, menopause is the beginning of a new opportunity to enjoy the life they want to live. … [One piece of advice is to] stay sexually active. Intimate dryness is a common complaint, but staying sexually active helps overcome or prevent that. Need some help? Talk to your HCP about potential over the counter remedies or prescription treatment options.
— Mache Seibel, MD, Ob/Gyn and member of the faculty at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts

Nurses have ranked at the top of Gallup's list of the most trusted professions every year for the past decade and a half (with the exception of 2001, when 9/11-shaken Americans ranked firefighters highest in ethics and honesty). Increasingly, however, the nursing profession is also becoming known for a less noble quality: bullying.
Last spring, the magazine Marie Claire exposed nursing's "silent secret" with a nearly 3,000-word feature detailing tales of harshness, hostility and harassment by nurses toward nurses.
"The prevalence of nurse bullying is staggering," reported Alexandra Robbins, author of the article as well as the book The Nurses: A Year of Secrets, Drama, and Miracles with the Heroes of the Hospital. "Researchers say that at least 85 percent of nurses have been verbally abused by a fellow nurse. Worldwide, experts estimate that one in three nurses quits her job because of bullying and that bullying—not wages—is the major cause of a global nursing shortage."
Noting that nurse bullying is receiving its fair share of attention, nurse researchers Diane Wieland, PhD, RN, PMHCNS-BC, CNE, from La Salle University, Philadelphia, and Janice M. Beitz, PhD, RN, CS, CNOR, CWOCN, CRNP, MAPWCA, FAAN, Rutgers University in Camden, NJ, investigated the dynamic from a less studied yet crucial angle—resiliency. How do nurses who are bullied bounce back from the experience and move beyond it? What does it take to overcome bullying?
To find out, they conducted lengthy interviews with 17 nurse faculty members who were bullied by peers and now consider themselves resilient. Although the study, which appeared in the November/December issue of Nurse Educator, focused on nurse bullying in academia, the strategies cited by bullying survivors are applicable to nurses in a variety of settings.
Granted, this strategy may be easier in some workplaces than others and is difficult to sustain indefinitely. Still, it was a common practice used by the bullied nurse educators and included both physical and mental prevention. Taking different hallways and, when possible, working off campus were both approaches cited by nurses. Think about how you could adapt the maneuver in your situation. Could you take your lunch in a different setting? Disconnect from bullies on social media? The specifics may differ, but the takeaway is the same: Whatever distance you can put between yourself and the bully, the better.
Nurse educators who were bullied sought support from family, friends and colleagues they got along with and admired. Unfortunately, bullying is sometimes tolerated by other nurses as "just the way it is," so don't seek support with the expectation that the other person can or will make the bullying stop. Self-care activities, such as church, music, meditation, and reading about bullying were also mentioned as supportive to resilience.
Interestingly, reporting the bullying to a superior was not a strategy mentioned in the study. (Confronting the bully, when necessary, was.) As the authors note, "bullies in the workplace are often protected by those in power, [and] abuse becomes tolerated and normalized."
Nurses fed up with their treatment found interviewing with and entertaining job offers from other workplaces empowering.
"None who had left the school where they were bullied felt guilty in retrospect," the researchers wrote. "Choosing where to work and being happy at the new school were described frequently. If that involved resignation and a new 'right' worksite, they perceived it as a positive action and a form of enlightenment."
Not all nurses in the study had switched jobs, however. Depending on the area, new positions weren't always available. Some said they were still waiting for the right fit. They considered their staying despite the bullying a form of defiance, yet the researchers noted the negative physical and psychological repercussions of being bullied continued.
All nurses interviewed expected to leave their job eventually.
Some nurses found solace in focusing on the results of their job evaluations; others, through presenting at conferences and "supporting the professional persona." Focusing on accomplishments helped bullied nurses discern reality from the skewed picture bullies try so hard to paint.
Surrounding yourself with positive peers at professional meetings and making new connections will likely help your mindset. On the practical side, it may also lead you out of your toxic workplace into a better job at a healthier place.
After nurses moved on to new jobs, most tended to rid their surroundings of mementoes and other visual reminders of their former workplace and the abusive treatment they endured there. That doesn't mean, though, they left the experience entirely in the past.
"Reflection played a major role in … healing," the researchers noted. "Blaming self and shame effects decreased markedly when the faculty member had the chance to experience a good environment and see the toxicity of the past worksite."
Having overcome bullying, some nurses proceeded with a determination to create a new positive work environment and provide positive role modeling. Others focused on "feeding the intellectual self." Although some experienced PTSD-type responses (unresolved anger, hypervigilance, excessively apologetic over the smallest issues), most ultimately felt better equipped to handle future challenges.
As Drs. Wieland and Beitz put it, "Resilience to adversity was perceived to be a positive outcome of a horrendous experience."

It is like women to diversify their way of life according to different fields of life that they venture into while interacting with various personalities across the world. The good thing about owning a gown is that women can dress accordingly depending on numerous occasions that they attend. A gown can correctly work as a dinner dress or a party dress depending on the type of accessories that you choose to complete the look. Also, an earring that is made of chandelier material or a necklace made of gold cuffs can very well complement the look of a gown. Please feel free to checkout looking the business for more information on womens business attire.
Maxi Casual Dress
Maxi dresses have the merit of going on any occasion that comes up in a woman plan. Think about the fact that the current generation of women tends to prefer doing brunches, which is a combination of both lunch and breakfast as opposed to taking lonely meals in the morning before setting off to work. Keep in mind that this type of dress can be complemented using a great pair of gladiator heels. Unique sandals that have been designed to match the material and the occasion can also go a long way in helping to kill this look.
Lace Dress
At the mention of Dolce, what comes to the mind of women is impressive dresses that are designed using the unique sets of laces. Ideally, Zara Collections have been fast on the rise as a result of embracing the idea of lacing while dressing. A simple pair of pumps that match the dress can be used to pull this look. Moreover, to that kind of ladies that like to be associated with designer pieces of attire, an awesome D&G red lipstick can be implemented to ensure that the look is flawless.
Slip Dresses
The most trending type of outfits that are used by ladies in the contemporary world is the slip type. Ladies that like to hit the runway understand the fact that slip dresses can help you get into any occasion without having to go through a laborious task of selecting different dresses that can go for specific circumstances. To be able to complement this look, an extra-large sweater can very well accessorize this outfit. There are several types of outfits that women like to put on in the current society, and the slip dress is one of the most trending ones.
The good thing about sheaths is the fact that they can match any occasion at any time of the day. For example, when you wear them at night, the sheath can be used to shield you from a lot of colds. During the day, the sheath can be used as an ideal protection against the rays of sunlight. Keep in mind that this kind of look is complemented by an old blazer and a classic pair of pumps. In other words, this sort of look is used to depict the impression that merging a few of ancient dressing codes with the current tastes and preferences of ladies can serve as the perfect taste of diversity in dressing for women.

NORTHFIELD, Vt. – In two tightly contested matchups, Regis College defeated Norwich University, 3-1 (21-25, 25-21, 29-27, 25-20), but lost to Suffolk University, 3-1 (25-14, 25-27, 25-22, 26-24), Saturday in Great Northeast Athletic Conference women's volleyball matches at Norwich's Andrews Hall.
Regis 3, Norwich 1
Katryna Veasey (Quincy, Mass.) notched her 10th double-double of the season with 15 kills and 21 digs, while Rachel Bartels (Edinburg, Texas) finished with a season-high 13 kills. Tori Ondris (Mineola, N.Y.) collected 27 assists, four service aces, and six digs, and Emily Fagundo (Dover, N.H.) added 17 assists and two service aces. Defensively, three Pride players earned four total blocks apiece as Regis earned 10 team blocks, and Mica van der Meulen (Colorado Springs, Colo.) led the backline with 16 digs.
The Pride scored the first five points of the match and maintained the lead through most of the first set. Down 19-16, Norwich put together a 9-2 scoring run to close out the opening set, led by Kathryn Farnum with three kills and helped by five Pride errors.
Norwich (9-12, 2-7 GNAC) used consecutive kills by Julia Schroeder to open a lead in the second set, extending it to as much as five points. Down 18-14, it was Regis's turn to close out a set with a significant run, outscoring the Cadets 11-3 down the stretch, including two kills and a block assist by Jordan Sterenberg (Oceanside, N.Y.) during that span.
In the third set, two kills and a block assist by Veasey helped the Pride open an 8-4 advantage, but two kills by Michele Zummo allowed the Cadets to tie the set at 8-8. The set went back and forth, with Norwich earning the first set point chance after a kill by Zummo. Consecutive kills by Veasey put the Pride on top, but errors on both sides led to a 26-26 tie. Regis was able to clinch the third set on kills by Sterenberg and Lauren Butt (Topsfield, Mass.) as well as a Norwich error.
Regis scored the first six points of the fourth set, led by two solo blocks from Butt, but Norwich responded with the next four points to keep the set close. The Cadets took the lead at 14-13, but the Pride scored four unanswered points, led by a kill and a solo block from Butt, to pull ahead, 17-14. Norwich closed to within three late in the set on kills by Schroeder and Zummo, but a block by MacKenzie Emco (Sutton, Mass.) and Samantha Turner (Concord, N.H.) followed by a kill from Turner ended the set and the match in Regis's favor.
Zummo and Farnum both notched double-doubles for the Cadets, with Zummo earning 19 kills and 13 digs and Farnum contributing 12 kills and 10 digs. Emily Oliver dished out 40 assists, Schroeder added eight kills and 14 digs, and Olivia Brown led Norwich defensively with 20 digs.
Suffolk 3, Regis 1
Veasey notched another double-double, tying her career high with 20 kills to go along with 19 digs as well as three service aces and three total blocks. Bartels finished with 12 kills as she hit .312 in the match, Ondris nearly earned her own double-double with 26 assists and nine digs, and van der Meulen collected a season-high 22 digs.
The first set was close until Suffolk went on an 8-2 scoring run to open a 19-11 advantage. After Regis scored the next three points, the Rams closed out the opening set with six unanswered points, featuring two service aces by Sarah Mullahy and two kills by Bridget Allison.
Suffolk (9-13, 6-3 GNAC) scored the first point of the second set, Regis scored the next five points, three of them on blocks, and then the Rams rattled off five straight points. Bartels and Veasey collected two kills apiece to put the Pride back on top, 9-6, but Suffolk again responded. Consecutive kills by Kayla Barbera brought about set point for the Rams, but the Pride would score six of the final seven points of the set, led by three kills and an ace by Veasey and capped by a block from Turner.
Two kills by Hannah Fabiano helped the Rams open a four-point advantage in the third set, but the Pride would close to within one midway through the set. Veasey earned three kills down the stretch to keep the Pride within two, but a kill by Barbera clinched the third set and gave Suffolk a 2-1 match lead.
Regis opened a five-point lead in the fourth set, but Suffolk slowly chipped away at that lead, eventually pulling ahead by two on a kill by Chidera Nwankwo. Another kill by Nwankwo brought about match point for the Rams, but kills by Veasey and Bartels tied the set at 24-24. Nwankwo created another match point with a kill, and the Rams would finally prevail after a Regis attack error.
Fabiano led Suffolk with 12 kills, while Mullahy and Nwankwo contributed eight kills apiece. Barbera helped the Rams with 10 kills, plus she collected 15 digs for a double-double, as did setter Talia Lombardo with 38 assists and 11 digs along with five service aces. Five different Suffolk players reached double figures in digs, led by Dakhensey Marcellus with 18 digs.
Regis (11-13, 4-6 GNAC) hosts two non-conference matches in the upcoming week, facing Fisher Tuesday, Oct. 23, at 6 p.m. and Gordon Thursday, Oct. 25, at 7 p.m. The Gordon match will be preceded by Senior Night ceremonies, as the six Pride seniors will be honored by their coaches and teammates.
