Chapter History
Eel River Valley Chapter, Fortuna, CA entered a prize-winning float in the 2019 Fortuna Rodeo Parade. Conceived and executed by Daughter Jean Gianinni and her HODAR Charlie, the float aimed to remind the public that DAR members participated in World War I as nurses, World War II as Rosie-the-riveters, and in NASA. The rear of the float featured a young student seated at an antique school desk with a member instructing him. Riders on the float reported much applause as they wound down the parade route. The float had previously participated in Ferndale's July 4th parade.
Shown on the photo left to right: Sue Patterson at the rear with the student (unseen), Kristi Peifer as the NASA astronaut, Jean Giannini as Rosie-the-Riveter holding a photo of the chapter's real Rosie – Evelyn Deike, and Beccy Hash as the nurse holding a photo of the chapter's beloved registrar and former nurse, Allison Grundman.

New DAR Chapter Begins in Fortuna - The new Eel River Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution held its first meeting Sept. 29.
Louise Perkins is the chapter's organizing regent. Her officers include Margaret Rodrique, vice-regent; Christine Hill, secretary; Leona Mackley, treasurer; Marjorie Jenny, registrar; Evelyn Deike, historian; Edith Geitner, librarian; Jane Bower, chaplain; and Elvie Thomas, parliamentarian. There are 35 charter members in the chapter.
A special presentation was also made in honor of the late Margaret Foster of Fortuna. A special grave marker was presented in honor of the 50-year DAR member.
The new chapter has been organized during the DAR's 100th year, said Joy Thomas, state organizing secretary. Members, she said, "share a common bond of loyalty to our country" and are dedicated to emulating the nation's founding fathers and preserving and perpetuating the ideals brought forth from the American Revolution.
Among the services provided by the DAR, she said, are scholarships to high school students and honors for elementary school students who prove themselves good citizens.
The new chapter will be officially confirmed at the state convention of the Daughters of the American Revolution later this month.
Humboldt Beacon August 15, 1991
DAR - Fortuna will soon have the honor of becoming the home of a new chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
At an informal gathering held at Rohner Park and hosted by the Redwood Genealogical Society, it soon became apparent there are enough members who can qualify for membership to guarantee the formation of a local chapter of this worthy organization.
The NSDAR was founded on Oct. 11, 1890. Its more than 204,000 members are women who can trace their ancestry back to someone who provided a service to America during the Revolutionary War. However, it is not an organization that dwells on pedigree, but rather one that unites people with common interests and concerns.
According to one of the society's publications, its objectives are historical - to perpetuate the memory and spirit of the men and women who achieved American independence; educational - to carry out the injunction of Washington in his farewell address to the American people, "to promote, as an object of primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge, thus developing an enlightened public opinion..."; and patriotic - to cherish, maintain and extend the institutions of American freedom, to foster true patriotism and love of country, and to aid in securing for mankind all the blessings of liberty.
To these ends the DAR honors young people for achievement, offers scholarships, supports two schools for Native Americans and schools for under-priviledged children. These are only a few of the services the National Society, in its 100 years of existence, has provided to this country.
The time period between Oct. 11, 1990, and Oct. 11, 1991, has been designated as the Centennial Jubilee Year of the NSDAR. The chapter formed here in the Eel River Valley will have the distinction of being the "last ever" to bear the title of Centennial Chapter.
When discussing possible names for the chapter, it was asked if there was a special Revolutionary War soldier who might be honored. "Oh," one woman whispered, "there are so many."
As the meeting drew to a close, prospective members were busily filling out forms and looking for their ancestors' names in the books provided by the NSDAR....

Sweetgums are very popular trees, some come from the USA, others from Asia. Thanks to the leaf shape they are often mistaken for maples. However, sweetgum leaves are more star-shaped and usually smaller. They fall down late, usually in early winter and the tree is decorated with fruits, which are small, spiny spheres.Burgundy Flush is an American selection of Chinese sweetgum which is unique sweetgum species. It makes 3-lobed, quite large – almost 20 cm across, deciduous leaves. They emerge burgundy red in spring and mature to olive green in summer, yet the leaves at the ends of the branches remain flushed red throughout the season if planted in full sun. In autumn green leaves turn amber orange and red leaves show more prominent red shades. It grows moderately fast, about 30-40 cm per year, forming a rather symmetrical pyramidal shape becoming more oval with age.
Chinese sweetgum likes any fertile to medium rich soil, well-drained, preferably acidic and evenly moist. When established it can take temporary flooding. Fully hardy to about -27°C (USDA zone 5b).
Size/type: medium-sized tree
Usual height: 8-13m
Usual width: 3-5m
Leaves: deciduous broadleaf
Colour of leaves: multicoloured / green a deep red
Flowers: insignificant or non-blooming
Location: full to partial sun
Usda zone (lowest): 5b (down to -27°c)

I'm back again from the winter wilds. The project we were working on was suddenly cut in half for now by Encana. I can't say we were too disappointed as the amount of snow had made it almost impossible to continue. Our tracked machines were working at their limit and any work on foot was nearly impossible. Waist deep snow with no support in it made even snowshoe travel nearly impossible. I often get the most difficult river gorges and canyons to map out as they must be done on foot and being the most able of our crew, I found myself pushed to the limit. On one day, my GPS recorded my rate of travel for the day at just 300m per hour. Under normal circumstances I can average around 6km per hour!!
Above: Trying to swim through the snow to map out a series of beaver ponds. The steep banks of the creek prevented my tracked machine from gaining access here.
Above: My tracked Honda with many new improvements over past years. As I get more experience, I'm getting my system down better. New improvements for this year include an articulated holder for my computer which allows me to keep both hands on the steering while still having the screen close enough to read. I also put my satellite dish on a bolted bar (in yellow) rather than my mobile pack which allows me to bash through trees more aggressively! I also invested in a good Swede saw which paid for itself a thousand times over. The heavy snow had bent half the trees down or nearly down making the forest an impossible maze to get through.
Above: This used to be an access road. The only way for me to get to the area I need to survey is to saw my way through so I can drive my ATV through with all the survey equipment. At times I felt more like a lumberjack than a surveyor! Nearly every day at the 6:30am safety meeting, our client praised our hard work which was much appreciated as we were certainly pushing ourselves hard for them.
The bent trees did provide me with some entertainment when an owl landed on a willow bent from the snow load. The impact of his landing knocked the snow off and it whipped up like a sling-shot flinging him way up in the air forcing a screech out of him. He landed again on the unburdened willow and had a very very annoyed look on his face as only an owl can. I stood in front of him laughing out loud till he seemed to have enough embarrassment and flew away. There are many fascinating things in the bush, but not many hilarious things- a rare treat!
The heavy snow was not a mater of levity for other animals though, the deer struggled awfully in the snow. I saw one trying to get through an open marsh where the snow had drifted a bit. Unfortunately, my presence had startled him and he tried to get away. Each sporadic bound would leave just his head sticking out- a rather striking sight but awful knowing how many calories he was burning in the process.
Above: Hard times for some are good times for others. The cougar tracks I found here barely sunk into the same snow me and the deer were drowning in. Below is a spring that was warm enough to stay unfrozen. In every direction was an animal trail spoke. It seemed like a good place for a predator to hang out so I made plenty of imposing noises as I passed by here. I rejoiced in briefly having some tracks to follow making the way easier in the deep snow. I began to acquire a deep abstract appreciation for the following instinct.
Another curious problem was that the big snows came very early in the season. So much snow that many creeks became insulated from the cold temperatures that followed. I got a call on the radio one day from Aaron who needed non-emergency help. It took me about 40 minutes to get to the coordinates he gave me and what a mess I found.
Above: Aaron's ATV fell through 4 feet of snow and into a creek hidden underneath. The creek was several feet deep and it took us almost 2 hours to get the 700 pound machine out using 2 winches, 2 shovels, a lot of effort and plenty of experience! Apart from some slightly wet and freezing feet, he was fine if not a little embarrassed for having to pull me away from my day plan. Considering where I was I don't think he realized what a favour he was doing me!
Above: Approaching an imposing wall of snow and spruce. A "light saber" would have been really useful I think.
I had one day of particular disamusement when there seemed to be no end of troubles. The temperature was -37 before the windchill so just getting our machines started took nearly 40 minutes of pull starting, priming and delicate fanagling. Then I spent another 40 minutes driving another surveyor to his stuck quad where we sawed a few trees it was hung up on. Then when I finally got to where I was going, my computer lost it. I.T. problems are frustrating enough in a climate controlled office but in a snowy muskeg at -37, they are mind-numbing! Another 2 hours later between several rounds of jumping jacks, I managed a software workaround to my data card problems. With only an hour of daylight left I discovered I had no radio uplink to verify my data points. I tried making my way back to my rendezvous point and got horribly stuck and spent the rest of the day digging myself out. I got into the truck and Willie Nelson was playing on the radio. Nothing like being completely beaten by the day to make you appreciate old time country music! At least I had this breathtaking view at the end of the day to make it all worthwhile. Ice crystals or something made this smudged out sunset particularly glowing. There's always rewards in the wilderness.

Zinc is one of those minerals the body can't do without, like Vitamin C it plays an important part in white blood cell production, and deficiencies in zinc tend to lead towards low immunity. And like Vitamin C, it has to be present in white blood cells before you get an infection so it can fuel cell divisions the moment the body detects an infection. However, if you haven't been eating a fully nutritious diet and you feel a cold coming on, don't despair. A 2012 study reported by the Canadian Medical Journal found that taking zinc supplements after catching a cold reduced the duration of the sniffles by one and a half days on average when compared to those who didn't take the supplement.
The study involved 2121 people and it found those who didn't take zinc had their cold for over a week. The researchers weren't certain exactly how the zinc was working against the Rhinovirus (the most common cause of colds), but they speculated the mineral tightened facial tissues where the virus tended to congregate, potentially reducing the volume of space available for the virus to replicate itself. There were some side-effects though…a large quantity of zinc in the system can produce a metallic taste in the mouth and did cause nausea in some subjects.

"Tom Bowen's Technique Modality was named in his honour 'Bowen Therapy' years after his death in 1982."
"Tom Bowen never used his Technique in combination with any other modality because it was clear that the work became less effective or ceased to function at all."
"Tom Bowen trained only six people in his modality. Mr Ossie Rentsch the founder of the Bowen Therapy Academy of Australia (Bowtech) is one of these six. Sadly, at this time none of them reside in Townsville, Australia."
"Everyone is better with Tom Bowen's Therapy in it's original form."

Giddy. That's what the SEC is today over the announcement that it's distributing a record-high average payout of $20.9 million per school in 2013-14. The conference members aren't just fist pumping over revenues almost doubling in a five-year span; it's what they think is coming down the turnpike that's really got them excited.
… The SEC's payouts are expected to eventually increase more after the launch of the SEC Network, which wouldn't have occurred without the SEC expanding.
The amount of new revenue is dependent upon distribution of the network, which launches Aug. 14. ESPN and SEC officials say they are optimistic the network will have full distribution. DISH and AT&T U-Verse have signed agreements.
"We're not concerned at this point," said Justin Connolly, ESPN senior vice president for college networks programming. "If you look back, not just with conference networks but networks as a whole, often times distribution holes are filled toward the end."
But what if they're wrong about that?
But come Aug. 14, if DirecTV and Comcast have not signed on to carry the Southeastern Conference's new regional sports network because of the cost of the programming, the fans of Bulldogs, Tigers, Gators and the rest will not be happy. The fans will lose restraint and demands will become actions: They just might cancel their service.
Meanwhile, the roughly 70% of TV viewers inside the SEC's 11-state footprint who do not care much about college sports are on the verge of seeing their bills rise again, because of the SEC Network. There will be nothing they can do about it except drop their service. If enough SEC fans threaten, or actually cancel, Comcast and DirecTV, it might force the providers to carry the SEC Network, pay the carriage fee and pass the cost on to its customers. All of them.
It is the latest dust-up between regional sports networks and cable, satellite and telecommunications TV carriers, and follows controversies in Houston and Los Angeles. The Comcast regional sports affiliate in Houston was driven into bankruptcy court. DirecTV is balking at the asking price per subscriber for the Dodgers, which has left millions in the Los Angeles area without TV access to the baseball team.
Sports programming is the biggest reason TV bills have been rising nationally as professional leagues and major college conferences continue to pay higher and higher salaries to coaches, players and executives and improve their stadium infrastructures.
There's a saturation point, even in a region that's as crazy about college football as the South is. Like it or not, we're still a minority when it comes to the viewing audience, and you have to wonder how long those who aren't fans are going to subsidize our passion. And don't think the delivery people aren't watching that closely. It's their livelihood, after all.
DirecTV CEO Mike White once told Wall Street analysts on a conference call, according to Bloomberg, "If I could wave a wand, the first thing I would peel off is regional sports networks. The cost is just too high."
John Demming, a Comcast spokesman, would not comment on price other than to say Comcast was in negotiations with the SEC Network. "We're very optimistic we are going to have an agreement," Demming said.
Dan York, chief content officer for DirecTV, would not comment on the exact cost of carrying the SEC Network.
"We would certainly wish to carry the SEC Network sooner than later. Timing will depend on at what point do we feel we are getting a fair value proposition from Disney/ESPN to make it available," York said.
York, however, also said, "As popular as sports content is, the vast majority of consumers will not watch any national, regional or local sports network, yet the networks demand they pay a tax so that those who do want to watch it get access to it."
So again, what if ESPN is wrong about the business model?
David Preschlack, head of affiliate sales for ESPN and Disney media networks, said the SEC Network is not a regional sports network but a brand strong enough to sell outside the South. Asked if that meant DirecTV, Comcast and DISH would be able to charge an "inner market" price around the country to all of their subscribers, Preschlack would not comment.
The SEC Network will not be available on pay-per-view or on a sports tier but will be sold as part of a provider's wide package of programming. Preschlack said, "The economics of the pay-per-view model just don't support the business we're looking to get into, which is the same for any other programming ESPN owns."
At a buck-thirty a head in the regional market, that's a pretty steep tariff to ask everyone to pay (especially for this) for a general programming package. What happens if the screaming of the 70% gets loud enough? Either the carriers do something, or the politicians make them do something.
"I got a call the other day from a staff person in Congress, and the House is going to look into this stuff. As reluctant as the U.S. Congress is to regulate in this day and age, it seems like this situation is inviting some regulation. It's not good for the consumers. These sports leagues have a lot of market power."
A la carte packaging, where the cost of the SEC Network jumps five- or six-fold, would be problematic for Slive and his presidents, to say the least, because the size of the paying audience drops dramatically. (And just think what that would mean for the Pac-12, which owns its network outright.) There would be a struggle to figure out a way to justify that sort of cost. Better games? More conference expansion? Those aren't easy calls to make, as we've seen over the past couple of years. In the meantime, what can they do? ESPN and the market tell them the marketing strategy works.

Things are likely to look up for fast moving consumer goods firms, which have not been doing well since the past couple of years. Consumer demand -the most critical factor for growth -is expected to recover on the back of good monsoon and government dole outs through the seventh pay commission and direct benefit transfers.
The performance of FMCG companies in the second half of FY17 is likely to be better than the first, essentially on the back of an uptick in rural demand, which has been subdued due to two consecutive droughts.
But what does this mean for FMCG stocks? Despite the growth challenges, the industry has been able to maintain its profitability through price increases and premiumisation.Benign raw material prices have helped boost gross margins. Most FMCG companies have been reporting high profit margins, which has enabled their valuations to soar.
A recovery in volume growth along with bottoming out of input costs may taper their margins going ahead.
Stocks of FMCG biggies, such as HUL, ITC and Dabur, that have not gained much in the past year have a better scope of gaining than their smaller peers like Marico, Godrej Consumer, Britannia and Emami which have gained significantly and are trading on stretched valuations.
Incidentally, paint companies such as Asian Paints and Kansai Nerolac have posted double-digit volume growth -pushing their stocks up and stretching their valuations. These stocks could also see some cooling off. There may be limited triggers in the near term for further earnings upgrade.
In case of a recovery in consumer demand, HUL is probably the best placed to make the most of it.Besides, rising input cost augurs well for larger players as they are able to leverage their size to gain competitive advantage over the regional and smaller players.

"O virgin mother, daughter of thy Son,
Created beings all in lowliness
Surpassing, as in height, above them all,
Term by th' eternal counsel pre-ordain'd,
Ennobler of thy nature, so advanc'd
In thee, that its great Maker did not scorn,
Himself, in his own work enclos'd to dwell!
For in thy womb rekindling shone the love
Reveal'd, whose genial influence makes now
This flower to germin in eternal peace!
Here thou to us, of charity and love,
Art, as the noon-day torch: and art, beneath,
To mortal men, of hope a living spring.
So mighty art thou, lady! and so great,
That he who grace desireth, and comes not
To thee for aidance, fain would have desire
Fly without wings. Nor only him who asks,
Thy bounty succours, but doth freely oft
Forerun the asking. Whatsoe'er may be
Of excellence in creature, pity mild,
Relenting mercy, large munificence,
Are all combin'd in thee. Here kneeleth one,
Who of all spirits hath review'd the state,
From the world's lowest gap unto this height.
Suppliant to thee he kneels, imploring grace
For virtue, yet more high to lift his ken
Toward the bliss supreme. And I, who ne'er
Coveted sight, more fondly, for myself,
Than now for him, my prayers to thee prefer,
(And pray they be not scant) that thou wouldst drive
Each cloud of his mortality away;
That on the sovran pleasure he may gaze.
This also I entreat of thee, O queen!
Who canst do what thou wilt! that in him thou
Wouldst after all he hath beheld, preserve
Affection sound, and human passions quell.
Lo! Where, with Beatrice, many a saint
Stretch their clasp'd hands, in furtherance of my suit!"
The eyes, that heav'n with love and awe regards,
Fix'd on the suitor, witness'd, how benign
She looks on pious pray'rs: then fasten'd they
On th' everlasting light, wherein no eye
Of creature, as may well be thought, so far
Can travel inward. I, meanwhile, who drew
Near to the limit, where all wishes end,
The ardour of my wish (for so behooved),
Ended within me. Beck'ning smil'd the sage,
That I should look aloft: but, ere he bade,
Already of myself aloft I look'd;
For visual strength, refining more and more,
Bare me into the ray authentical
Of sovran light. Thenceforward, what I saw,
Was not for words to speak, nor memory's self
To stand against such outrage on her skill.
As one, who from a dream awaken'd, straight,
All he hath seen forgets; yet still retains
Impression of the feeling in his dream;
E'en such am I: for all the vision dies,
As 't were, away; and yet the sense of sweet,
That sprang from it, still trickles in my heart.
Thus in the sun-thaw is the snow unseal'd;
Thus in the winds on flitting leaves was lost
The Sybil's sentence. O eternal beam!
(Whose height what reach of mortal thought may soar?)
Yield me again some little particle
Of what thou then appearedst, give my tongue
Power, but to leave one sparkle of thy glory,
Unto the race to come, that shall not lose
Thy triumph wholly, if thou waken aught
Of memory in me, and endure to hear
The record sound in this unequal strain.
Such keenness from the living ray I met,
That, if mine eyes had turn'd away, methinks,
I had been lost; but, so embolden'd, on
I pass'd, as I remember, till my view
Hover'd the brink of dread infinitude.
O grace! unenvying of thy boon! that gav'st
Boldness to fix so earnestly my ken
On th' everlasting splendour, that I look'd,
While sight was unconsum'd, and, in that depth,
Saw in one volume clasp'd of love, whatever
The universe unfolds; all properties
Of substance and of accident, beheld,
Compounded, yet one individual light
The whole. And of such bond methinks I saw
The universal form: for that whenever
I do but speak of it, my soul dilates
Beyond her proper self; and, till I speak,
One moment seems a longer lethargy,
Than five-and-twenty ages had appear'd
To that emprize, that first made Neptune wonder
At Argo's shadow darkening on his flood.
With fixed heed, suspense and motionless,
Wond'ring I gaz'd; and admiration still
Was kindled, as I gaz'd. It may not be,
That one, who looks upon that light, can turn
To other object, willingly, his view.
For all the good, that will may covet, there
Is summ'd; and all, elsewhere defective found,
Complete. My tongue shall utter now, no more
E'en what remembrance keeps, than could the babe's
That yet is moisten'd at his mother's breast.
Not that the semblance of the living light
Was chang'd (that ever as at first remain'd)
But that my vision quickening, in that sole
Appearance, still new miracles descry'd,
And toil'd me with the change. In that abyss
Of radiance, clear and lofty, seem'd methought,
Three orbs of triple hue clipt in one bound:
And, from another, one reflected seem'd,
As rainbow is from rainbow: and the third
Seem'd fire, breath'd equally from both. Oh speech
How feeble and how faint art thou, to give
Conception birth! Yet this to what I saw
Is less than little. Oh eternal light!
Sole in thyself that dwellst; and of thyself
Sole understood, past, present, or to come!
Thou smiledst; on that circling, which in thee
Seem'd as reflected splendour, while I mus'd;
For I therein, methought, in its own hue
Beheld our image painted: steadfastly
I therefore por'd upon the view. As one
Who vers'd in geometric lore, would fain
Measure the circle; and, though pondering long
And deeply, that beginning, which he needs,
Finds not; e'en such was I, intent to scan
The novel wonder, and trace out the form,
How to the circle fitted, and therein
How plac'd: but the flight was not for my wing;
Had not a flash darted athwart my mind,
And in the spleen unfolded what it sought.
Here vigour fail'd the tow'ring fantasy:
But yet the will roll'd onward, like a wheel
In even motion, by the Love impell'd,
That moves the sun in heav'n and all the stars.

Ask Arlene: An Interview with Arlene Pellicane
In 2004, six years before author and speaker Arlene Pellicane's first book, 31 Days to a Younger You: No Surgery, No Diets, No Kidding, lined the shelves of Christian bookstores and filled Amazon shopping carts, I ate Christmas dinner with her.
My husband Ted had attended grad school with Arlene and her husband, James, but it was the first time she and I met.
I liked her instantly.
Arlene is upbeat, energetic, motivating, and kind. I'm grateful to have had her contribute to Ungrind since its founding and to call her "friend."
Before becoming a stay-at-home mom and published author, Arlene served as the associate producer for Turning Point with Dr. David Jeremiah. She also put her journalism skills to use as an on-air features producer for The 700 Club. In addition to these programs, she's appeared on The Hour of Power and TLC's Home Made Simple. Over the last several years, she's encouraged moms like me in their weight loss after pregnancy and now offers practical advice for women of all ages on how to live life more fully in her book, 31 Days to a Younger You. Arlene's next book, 31 Days to a Happy Husband, focuses on improving a wife's most important relationship: her marriage. It releases this summer.
I recently asked Arlene to consider writing a monthly Q&A column for us. She agreed. Once a month in "Ask Arlene," she'll answer a question related to health, beauty, marriage, or parenting. To kick off "Ask Arlene," we took the time to chat via email about her book and her new column.
Why did you write 31 Days to a Younger You: No Surgery, No Diets, No Kidding?
My daughter turned two and I turned 40 last year. I realized when she is in her 20's, I'll be in my 60's and well, I don't want to be old! I want to be able to walk down the aisle when she gets married; not stroll down in one of those motorized carts! So I set out on a journey to discover keys to staying young from women who were aging well. By aging well, I don't mean their skin was flawless. I interviewed women in their 40's-100's about being fit in body, mind, and spirit.
What would you say to women who believe the outward appearance shouldn't be their priority and that people should accept them as they are?
I'd say they're right and they're wrong. Beauty comes from the inside out. It's better to be a person of character than a person with good looks. But why does it have to be either/or? My friend said she'd love to go to work in her pajamas (ah, the comfort!) but she would never do that out of consideration for her co-workers. How she looks affects other people. In the same way, we ought to do our best to look as attractive as possible to the people around us. Especially as believers, we are ambassadors of the King.
Can busy women apply these principles in a short amount of time?
Yes! By reading 5-10 minutes a day and then doing a simple action step, a busy woman can start looking and feeling younger in days. I know a busy single mom who read my book and started doing crossword puzzles to challenge her mind, lifting weights, and cutting out white flour from her diet. She feels better already and those are just a few small changes that can make a big difference.
What are some areas of the heart, mind, and body that you cover?
For the heart, readers are led to be more joyful, recover that childlike faith, roll with the punches, and laugh again. As we grow older, it's easy to think, "I'm losing my mind!" So we spend time to focus on improving memory and strengthening our brain power through learning new skills and doing hobbies we enjoy. The adage "move it or lose it" rings true, so we spend the last part of the book focusing on improving our exercise and eating habits, plus fashions do's and don'ts as we age.
What steps can a woman take to give herself a new look without spending much money?
First thing to put on is a smile. It doesn't cost a penny and can give a girl a new look in seconds! Next it can be a haircut or a closet cleaning party. When you toss unflattering clothes and things you don't wear, you can find more outfits that do work. You can look at magazines for ideas of looks you like and then shop in places like Nordstrom Rack, TJ Maxx, or Ross with those ideas in mind. If you have a fashionable friend, bring her on a shopping trip!
What are some tips for relieving stress or making time for yourself?
Exercise is a great stress reliever whether it's an intense exercise class at the gym or walk around your block. Find something you enjoy that helps you "change channels" so you can walk away from the things that are stressing you out. It may be reading a Psalm, a chapter in a book, calling a friend, asking someone to pray with you over the phone, or journaling. If you see you have a particularly busy week or you're in a demanding season of life, schedule time in your calendar for down time. Set aside a weeknight where there are no outside activities and regroup. Protect that time or something or someone will take it away.
Your second book comes out in July of 2012. What's it about?
It's titled 31 Days to a Happy Husband and it's about going back to the honeymoon and championing the wonderful man God has given you. After awhile, that intense passion and romance turns into comfortable warmth which is natural and fine. But if we don't stoke the embers once in a while, we can become cool business partners with our spouse, sharing a home and bank account but little else. This book will drive you back towards your spouse and guide you towards having the marriage of your dreams. I interviewed thirty-one happy husbands for their advice; husbands like Dr. David Jeremiah, comedian Tim Hawkins, and renowned therapists, Dr. Cliff and Joyce Penner.
You will be writing a monthly Q&A column for us here at Ungrind called "Ask Arlene." Tell our readers more about it.
I'm honored to be available to answer questions about health (spiritual, emotional, or physical) or relationships (marriage, parenting), so bring it on! We'll have fun as a community considering real life issues. I hope to encourage readers to take the next best step towards what God has for them in their health and homes.
We have a copy of Arlene's book 31 Days to a Younger You: No Surgery, No Diets, No Kidding to give away. To enter for a chance to win it, leave a question you'd like for Arlene to answer in her new column, "Ask Arlene." If she chooses your question to answer in her April column, the book is yours! This contest closes on Monday, March 12, 2012, at 12 a.m. Our apologies to our international readers, but it's only open to those residing in the United States.
This contest is now closed. Congrats to Lisa M! Arlene will answer your question in her April column.
When Doing Justly, Loving Mercy, and Walking Humbly Stand at Odds
If your compassion far exceeds your capacity, here's one way you can be sure to do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly.
One of my life verses is Micah 6:8, "He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?"
It is one of my favorite verses because my heart has been so moved by the love Jesus has for me and the sacrifice He made for me that I am grateful to have a way to express my gratitude through acts of justice and mercy while walking humbly with God.
I have found at times, however, the call to do justice and love mercy come in conflict with the call to walk humbly with God. For me, one of the ways to walk humbly with God is to recognize my limitations. I have to put skin to the fact that I am not God which means saying, "no" to ministry requests. It means going to sleep when I could be spending time advocating for the harrowed and helpless in the world. It means limited seats at my table, limited funds in my bank account, and limited energy in my body cannot be ignored but respected and adhered to.
This is hard for me at times, especially when I scroll my Facebook feed and see friends who are caring for their really sick children, spouse, or other family member all while millions of refugees flee war torn countries and babies are slaughtered by the hundreds each day in our country through the abortion industry.
As I scroll, I receive texts about one family member's surgery gone wrong and another family member announcing a new baby is on the way. I have in mind my neighbor who has inpatient surgery scheduled this week and another neighbor who is trying to hold down a full-time job, care for twins all while battling profound "morning" sickness.
Folks at church are fighting for their lives in physical and spiritual ways, and strangers who pass me on the road are clearly battling something as demonstrated by their impatient honking because I won't take a right turn on red. I want to meet the needs of all; I want to do justice and love mercy, but I'm daily confronted by the fact that I am so limited.
What am I to do when doing justly and/or loving mercy seem to come in conflict with walking humbly with my God?
God keeps bringing me to this answer: prayer.
God invites us to cast our cares before Him because He cares for us.
God tells us to be anxious for nothing BUT WITH PRAYER present our requests before Him.
God commands us to pray without ceasing.
And, when I walk humbly with God, I see the immense kindness in His command.
He gives us a way to do justly, love mercy WHILE walking humbly with Him.
It is by praying without ceasing.
I cannot take a meal or give money to every sick person or family I know. I cannot extend kindness to all my neighbors all at the same time they're in need nor conjure up sustainable solutions for the refugee crisis and contact all the necessary world powers to make it happen.
I cannot heal all, but I know the Healer.
I cannot provide for all the needs, but I know the Provider.
I cannot rescue everyone in need, but I know the Rescuer.
I cannot comfort all the broken, but I know the Comforter.
I cannot speak peace over every situation, but I know the Prince of Peace.
I cannot be all to all, but I can go to the Great I Am through prayer, lay all the people, problems and pleas for help before the Omniscient and Omnipresent God of all Creation.
I can do this through prayer.
Recently, via an Instagram contest of all things, I came upon A–Z prayer cards designed by blogger/author/speaker, Amelia Rhodes. It is a simple concept packed with a powerful prayer punch. It has served me personally in this tension of wanting to do far more than I practically can do. It provides prayer prompts starting with each letter of the alphabet along with a scripture that coincides with the prayer focus. It ranges from Adoption to a creative "Zero Prejudice" for the letter "Z."
The cards are well thought out, color printed on sturdy cardstock with blank lines for the user to write in the names of people and/or organizations that are personal to them.
If, like me, your compassion far exceeds your capacity, pick up a set of these prayer cards and unload your burdens onto a God whose competence matches His kindness, both boundless.
Facing Our Fears in Motherhood
Do you have fears tied to motherhood? If so, here's encouragement for you.
"Are you scared?"
I was taken aback by his question. Scared? Of what?
"Of anything," he answered.
I had just shared my due date with a new class of trainees.
"He has three boys," another new hire volunteered. So fear is to be expected, I reasoned. I'm just about to face the most frightening experience in my life.
Of course I was scared.
I was scared…
- I'll lose my temper.
- I'll whine about sleepless nights.
- I'll breastfeed too often or not often enough.
- I'll leave piles of unfolded onesies in the middle of the nursery floor because I'm too tired (or lazy?) to fold teeny-tiny baby clothes for the upteenth time.
- I'll go with disposable diapers when the better choice would be cloth.
- I'll work too many long hours at the office and miss precious moments with her.
- I'll sign her up for too many activities and push her to become Miss Achieve-It-All.
- I'll pass on to her my ugly pride, self-righteousness, and perfectionism like a dreadful contagious disease.
- I'll miss countless little joys in life while pursuing worthless dreams.
In short… I was afraid I was going to fail miserably as a parent.
And now, holding my second-born daughter in my arms, thinking back on that brief exchange just a few years ago, I realize those fears were well-founded. I've failed many times. I've lost my temper. I've raised my voice. I've worked too much and played too little. I've seen my own sinfulness reflected in my daughter.
Yes, I've failed, but over and above it all, God's grace has covered my parenting imperfections and made me run to the cross day after day. The writer of Proverbs puts it this way:
Whoever fears the LORD has a secure fortress, and for their children it will be a refuge.
Proverbs 14:26
When it comes to fears, we have two choices: Will we fear the unknown or will we fear the Lord? Will we allow the uncertain to grip us in its clutch or will we turn to God's Truth to set us free?
Scared? Oh yeah. There was so much to be scared of that day. And even now, if I'm completely honest, there are still fears nibbling at the edges of my consciousness. Fear that we won't outgrow the temper tantrums. Fear that the two girls won't get along. Fear that I'll mess them up and cause them interminable hours on a psychologist's couch.
I'm sure you have fears, too.
But rather than allow those fears to consume and paralyze us, we can take them to the Lord, acknowledging His sovereignty over our parenting, pleading His grace over our mistakes, and entrusting His provision over their futures. He is not only able to handle it all — He is far more capable to be trusted with it all.
If I say one thing to that frightened 9-month-pregnant me standing in that room years ago, I would say this: Don't let fear rob today's joy with tomorrow's unknowns. Each day has enough worries of its own (Matthew 6:34).
Instead, let us keep seeking God, running to Him as our secure fortress and resting in the knowledge that He will care for us and our children one day at a time.
What are you scared of today? Name your fears and bring them to the Lord, allowing Him to replace them with His peace that passes all understanding.
He Gives Shade To The Weary
If anxiety is a struggle for you right now, remember that He gives shade to the weary.
Do you ever have those moments of fear because you don't know what lies ahead? When do those thoughts tend to happen to you?
For me, most of those thoughts happen when I lay my head down to sleep at night. The vulnerability comes forth every time. That's what happened the other night to me. I shut my eyes and immediately anxiety welled up inside me.
What if we don't succeed in this new venture? What if we have to move? What if we can't pay our bills?
I laid there with the covers drawn tight over my head (I still think that I am safer if the covers are over my head), praying scripture over my anxious heart. Assuring myself that God sees me and that He cares.
In the morning, I turned to Isaiah 41, specifically verses 10-20.
"Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." (Isaiah 41:10, NASB)
Yesterday, the "what if's" piled up as I anxiously looked about me. My daughter needs tutoring, however at this point in life, tutoring feels like a luxury we can't afford. So I listed some items online to sell hoping to make just enough to cover the tutoring. I'm buying groceries on a Visa reward card. I'm holding my breath until the next paycheck comes. But what did God speak over me: Do not fear. Do not look anxiously about you.
"For I am the Lord your God, who upholds your right hand, Who says to you, 'Do not fear, I will help you.' Do not fear, you worm Jacob, you men of Israel; I will help you," declares the Lord, "and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel." (Isaiah 41:13-14 NASB)
Why shouldn't I be anxious? Because God will hold me up. God will help me. When I first read the word "worm" as a description, I took it as a slam against Israel. Like, gesh, God. What animal does He relate me to? But through further study, He calls them a worm because worms are helpless. They are viewed as insignificant, despised and weak. God will help me — seemingly insignificant, helpless me — because He is my Redeemer. He is my go'el — my next of kin. The Redeemer is the one who provides for all my needs. Rent. Car payment. Credit card bill. Gas. Food. Clothes. Debt. God will redeem.
"Behold, I have made you a new, sharp threshing sledge with double edges; You will thresh the mountains and pulverize them, And will make the hills like chaff. You will winnow them, and the wind will carry them away, And the storm will scatter them; But you will rejoice in the Lord, You will glory in the Holy One of Israel." (Isaiah 41:15-16 NASB).
God is transforming me from a helpless one to a powerful one. The description of that type of threshing sledge is like a modern day earth mover. Powerful. Strong. Immovable.
"The afflicted and needy are seeking water, but there is none, And their tongue is parched with thirst; I, the Lord, will answer them Myself, As the God of Israel I will not forsake them." (Isaiah 41:17, NASB)
He will come to our rescue. God, Himself, will answer you and me. Can you hear how personal that sounds? Have you ever pleaded with someone important whether your boss, public figure, or even a parent, and they responded to the need themselves? You expected for them to send their assistant, but instead they — the most important one — responded to you.
"I will open rivers on the bare heights And springs in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water And the dry land fountains of water. I will put the cedar in the wilderness, The acacia and the myrtle and the olive tree; I will place the juniper in the desert Together with the box tree and the cypress." (Isaiah 41:18-19, NASB)
This passage describes the wilderness-like times in life. You are barren. You are thirsty. You are hot. You are in need. God will provide what you need. God will quench your thirst. He will provide shade when you are weary. During those times, God can provide in creative, innovative ways. He can provide something out of nothing. Doesn't that give you great hope? Even when you can't answer how He will do it, He is creative enough to figure it out even when the odds are stacked against you.
"That they may see and recognize, And consider and gain insight as well, That the hand of the Lord has done this, And the Holy One of Israel has created it." (Isaiah 41:20 NASB).
God will do all of this so that His glory will be put on display. People — including yourself — will see that He is powerful.
So you can see how after a night of wrestling with fear and anxiety, reading this was like shade and water for my soul. God is a god who sees. And God is a god who acts on your behalf.
What do you need His help with today? What are you fearful about today? What keeps you awake at night? Where do you need some shade?

Observe the foul line, even in casual play. Play fair.

The new Sonic Pro model aims to deliver the musical nuances and fidelity that Hi-Res Audio, DSD and other uncompressed and lossless digital formats are able to provide – bringing studio reference reprodcution to consumers who desire to hear their favourite tracks in the manner they were intended to be heard.
The ATH-MSR7 uses 45mm True Motion Drivers that are lightweight with a highly responsive voice coil and diaphragm; in addition, Multi-Layer Air Damping Technology with a two-layer aluminum/magnesium housing is used, providing a lightweight yet rigid structure for the drivers and reducing unwanted internal vibrations that could distort sonics.

The housing is specially shaped to "mirror" the physical structure of the ear to enhance low-frequency sounds. In addition, the ATH-MSR7 incorporates a mesh acoustic resistor that improves high-frequency response, and a low-frequency acoustic resistor for extended, accurate bass.
Designed for total comfort the headphones have cushioned, soft, memory foam earpads, swivel earcups and a padded headband for fit and comfort.

An IT manager recently told me he hadn't touched the applications on his mainframe since Y2K. For many other organizations, it has been even longer than that — and for good reason.
Over the last 25 years, mainframes have been a solid investment in term of reliability, performance, and security. It's estimated that within the insurance industry, half of all core applications are still on a mainframe. But for insurers and other data-intensive industries that rely on mainframe applications and data, those days are coming to an end.
The modernization of mainframe applications is now a business imperative.
Guest article by Ed Franklin, VP of Global Marketing, TmaxSoft
That can be a scary proposition for those that have relied on their mainframes for decades. But mainframe apps are simply not compatible with the fundamental drivers of today's business and technology paradigm.
The main drivers for mainframe modernization
To begin with, mainframes are running COBOL, PL/1, or other languages difficult to support. They cannot be easily expanded or quickly adapted to serve new market opportunities. In fact, many users may employ mainframe software and tools whose vendors may no longer exist, so maintenance can be an issue as well. Mainframes also demand an unreasonable amount of resources in terms of power and cooling costs.
Big Data and analytics are driving innovation and competitive differentiation for organizations across all industries. But how do you unlock the tremendous value hidden with mainframe data? The legacy data structure in mainframes often doesn't play with analytics. But organizations will have to make their mainframe data compatible with analytics in order to develop innovative new products and services, take advantage of new market opportunities, and make themselves stand out from the competition.
Then there's the cloud. Many companies move to cloud for increased capacity and higher ROI from their commodity x86 systems. These advantages are significant reasons for modernizing mainframe applications as well, by separating database and application tiers and employing modern SQL-based databases. The result is a legacy application with better scaling, higher reliability, and improved integration with big data analytics.
It's also true that if you want to compete and succeed in today's marketplace, you must have the ability to conduct commerce on mobile apps. But mainframe apps do not interface with mobile apps. Once again, organizations will be pressed to modernize mainframe data so it can be used with efficient, cost-effective x86 hardware, and multi-tier cloud architectures that serve up valuable mobile apps and data to be consumed by customers, partners, and employees.
But modernizing is not as easy as it seems
With this urgency to modernize mainframe applications, organizations are faced with some tough choices. Attempting to rewrite the entire database and messing with the business logic can be very risky. You may need a whole programming team and the budget hit will be significant. And because many mainframes have been in operation for a quarter of a century, it can be uncertain how re-writing will affect your downstream processes.
Organizations must realize that the process of decommissioning mainframes is just as important as the introduction of new systems. Smart planning cycles and formalized processes are required.
The good news is that there are now options for modernizing mainframe data without a complete code rewrite. Automated modernization and rehosting solutions can bring pre-SQL, single-tier mainframe applications to SQL datbase in a multitier, x86 cloud environment — without any change to applications.
Transitions can be largely automated, and testing tools can identify potential downstream glitches. Implementation can become the final modernization strategy or can be used as a safe cloud-based operating stage for a complete local re-architecting. Payback is typically achieved in 12 to 18 months, unlike more expensive alternatives.
Once the constraints of the mainframe have been lifted, all of that valuable data can easily make its way to cloud, mobile, and analytics platforms. And from a business perspective, that's when the most rewarding benefits of modernization can begin.
