St George Prastia Siderountas
|The single-aisle church of St. George was built in an inaccessible area of Prastia between Siderounda and Volissos in northern Chios. According to the builder's inscription, the church was erected by the donors Battista Giustiniani de Campi and his wife Bigota in 1415.
The interior of the church is fully decorated with frescoes, but a great part of them are covered with soot, making it difficult to distinguish all the scenes.
|The Supplication is depicted in a section of the conch, while in its semi-cylindrical area below the Supplication and up to the built-in altar is the painting of four priests facing the center where the Scene of Melismos is depicted. In the lower zone of the main church are icons of full-figured saints in military garb. Of special interest is the scene of St. George on horseback at the eastern end of the northern wall.
|From a technical point, it appears that the icon of St. George was painted in the classic tradition that was revived in the period of Paleologos (14th century), and that Chios was exposed to the contemporary art of the larger centers in the 15th century.
The dedication of an orthodox church in an agricultural area by a Genoese can be interpreted partly as a political act to draw the Greek populace closer to the Genoese in the face of the Turkish danger , as well as a means of showing respect for local tradition.

President assured the human rights activists and lawyers that he would do the needful 'to protect the constitution'
KATHMANDU: Human rights activists and lawyers today called on President Dr Ram Baran Yadav and advised him not to 'accept' the Cabinet decision recommending amnesty to Maoist lawmaker Balkrishna Dhungel who has been convicted of murder by the Supreme Court.
In a controversial move, the Cabinet yesterday had decided to send a recommendation to the President to invoke Article 151 of the constitution to grant pardon to Dhungel, provoking sharp criticism from human rights activists, lawyers and political parties.
A team of lawyers and human right activists, on the initiative of Democratic Lawyers' Association, today told the President that the decision was in violation of the constitution, Comprehensive Peace Agreement and a peace deal signed on November 1.
The Office of the President, according to President Dr Yadav's press adviser Rajendra Dahal, however, was yet to receive the decision formally. "He will act, and definitely act, but only after he gets the decision formally. For now, we cannot speculate what step he will take," said Dahal.
Yadu Nath Khanal, president of DLA, told this daily that the President assured the human rights activists and lawyers that he would do the needful 'to protect the constitution' in capacity of the guardian of the main law of the land. "The President told us he would hold consultations and assured us that he would not let injustice prevail and would never go against the constitution."
During the meeting, Khanal also suggested that the Head of the State should consult senior lawyers and must not hesitate to seek advice from the Supreme Court, as the government had seriously undermined the apex court verdict that slapped a 20-year jail term to Dhungel for murdering Ujjan Kumar Shrestha of Okhandhunga on November 11, 1998. Former member of the NHRC Sudip Pathak urged the President to protect the transitional justice as Heads of the State world over have been doing so to safeguard the constitution.
Nepal Bar Association President Prem Bahadur Khadka took strong exception to the activities of Parliament authorities, saying they did not bothered to act even when a murder convict was regularly attending the House.
Lawyers wondered why Speaker Subas Nembang allowed Dhungel to attend Parliament despite knowing that the apex court verdict was sufficient to invalidate his parliamentary membership.
Hearing postponed
KATHMANDU: The Supreme Court on Wednesday postponed the hearing on the writ petition filed by the family of Ujjan Kumar Shrestha, who was killed by Maoist lawmaker Balkrishna Dhungel. Sabitri Shrestha, sister of deceased Shrestha had filed a writ petition at SC demanding execution of the one-year-old apex court verdict that had slapped a 20-year jail term to Dhungel for murdering Shrestha back in 1998. A division bench of Justices Prem Sharma and Bharat Bahadur Karki put of off the hearing following the demand from Dhungel's lawyers.

D. A. Carson's book, Love in Hard Places (Wheaton: Crossway, 2002) has challenged me in the past on the topic of love and forgiveness. I have and will continue to have the tension that he talks about in the following paragraph from page 83-84:
"The preceding Scriptures suggest that Christians experience an
unavoidable tension. On the one hand, they are called to abandon bitterness,
to be forbearing, to have a forgiving stance even where the
repentance of the offending party is conspicuous by its absence; on the
other hand, their God-centered passion for justice, their concern for
God's glory, ensure that the awful odium of sin is not glossed over. The
former stance without the latter quickly dissolves into a mushy sentimentality
that forgets how vile sin is; the latter stance without the former
easily hardens into rigid recriminations, self-righteous wrath,
unbending retaliation."

I look forward to worshiping with you on the Lord's Day!
With prayer, Pastor Mark

Foreign Men
This weekend made me realise it again, that man, do I have it bad for foreign males. Particularly those from the West European/ Mediterranean area.
And not even that, but I am accepting that I have some sort of buried-in homing signal, which enables me to bump into and begin conversing with any such foreign man anywhere anytime anyhow. It does not matter that there are hundreds of South Africans in that pub or convention centre, but within seconds I will have found-without-trying the few foreigners milling amongst us. ESPECIALLY if they are French.
Saturday night, I enter that darling neighbourhood pub of the Jolly. And within the first 5 minutes, during the split second of me catching the barman's attention for my first (virgin) drink & my mates moving from the bar to an open table, I manage to find and get thoroughly engrossed in a conversation with a Frenchie. Not MY Frenchie. But ooooo baby, a frenchie nonetheless. With THAT accent and Gaelic way. Swoon Swoon Swoon .
Later I would have one cute drunken Dane explaining random pub stories to me at every pass-by he made. With occasional hand-along-my-back-or-even-my-stomach touching! Swoon Swoon chuckle-at-the-drunkenness Swoon.
[I also received the most darling compliment from Frenchie's friend – that he hopes I don't mind, especially as it means that he has been looking, but I have the most lovely stomach he has seen. It is so…sensual. Huh? I have just moved it from "boep" to "pot" stage. But aaah thank you, nonetheless. I gotta wear midriff revealing tops more often apparently!]
And the reason I was even in that pub…. To meet up with my Irish mate. Who was there having a drink with his German mate.
And then yesterday, before I even tracked down the coffee stand, let alone the off-limits Moët corner at "Rooms on View", I had found one but-cute Italian man who was so lovely I apparently went as red as my outfit. So cute and sweet and well-accented, that had my wallet held R500 in notes I more than likely would have handed them over for the purchases of 6 very random blue coffee mugs & saucers.
Put even the slightest twang in a man's accent. Let him speak from the other side of a packed room with just mildly pursed lips and slack worded "the"s that become "zee"s, and somehow my otherwise-useless hearing picks it up, and my body is just drawn to that place, and that person.
Sadly. Very Sadly. Nothing came out of any of my foreign encounters this weekend. In actual fact, I am about to lose one of my foreign Jo'burg contingent. He is off to fairer shores in a month. I am not happy with this. But no amount of arm-punching, foot stomping, or bribery through Guinness purchases seem to be coercing him into steering clear of that Cape-bound N1.
Otherwise – Weekend Three of Sobriety has passed easily enough. For some odd enough reason, my first serious grieving for a glass of champagne, or wine, or GnT, forgodsake just hand over that bottle of tequila already enough with this…. moment of really wanting a drink during the Teetotalling Month occurred on early Saturday evening, when back in Melville. The past two weekends more north - Randburg, Colony, Fourways - the very places one would think I would need to be drunk to survive do not seem to bother sober me at all. Hmmmm. I am still trying to decide what this means about Melville, its nightlife and me when I hit that suburb.
I do think some of my mates almost are craving me getting back on the booze. Not because I am different in personality or temperament. Apparently I am as much fun as when drunk – which is a great relief to know. But because now my energy does not run dry. Now I can sit in that pub for hours longer, while all those around me are slumping over in drunken stupors. And I want to keep talking and do not see the problem, while they beg to go home and pass out.
Hmmmm. I wonder how the French men currently aboard CDG:JNB flights feel about a sober over-energised chick with a gorgeous sensual stomach?!

Heddles - You haven't?!? Man, you def. have to get some taste testing done on the EU delicacies. Oo La La, but you do end up developing 1 dangerous craving!

Rev - Well there was a man in my bed on Saturday night! Except he is very much gay. And I wasn't in my bed that night. Sigh. Yes, this is how things currently stand. No alcohol, no men, no OTT chaos, muchos work. I have become my arch nemisis!
Jamaloni - Why you not commenting on the German? Well, except that you've never met him. He was doing a fly by visit from Berlin. Offered me a spot there anytime, which is a very tempting invite... bring on the EU with free accomodation!

When you turn to our Central Indiana radiant heating experts for assistance, you will receive the absolute best service around.

To learn more about radiant heating systems, call (317) 671-7552 today.
The Benefits of Radiant Heating
Today, primarily due to modern technology, radiant heating is one of the most efficient and affordable options to keep homes warm and comfortable. This method of home heating involves the use of hot water tubes or electric wires that are buried beneath the floor. As these sub-surface tubes or wires heat up, the heat waves rise and keep you warm. While this type of heating can be used underneath just about any surface, it is incredibly effective under hardwood and tile floors.
The advantages of radiant heating over traditional heating systems include:
- Increased comfort
- Better energy efficiency
- Cleaner air
- Evenly distributed temperatures
- No cold drafts
- No floor vents
- No unsightly ductwork
Although the installation of radiant floors is typically more expensive than conventional heating systems, in the long run, it saves money because of its higher efficiency and need for fewer repairs.

Multifaceted Malawian musician Faith Mussa has a new album titled Kalilima. The album features irresistible African rhythms combined with subtle electronics, glistening production and layered guitars. Using loop stations, Faith mixes new and old. "What I enjoyed the most was the process of blending traditional vibes with modern musical genres," Faith says.
Kalilima is the result of three years and multiple sessions that took place in a variety of places including a horse ranch, hotel rooms, balconies, a bell tent, a small village in Mchinji-Malawi and an orphanage. "We didn't sit down with an 'aim' in mind," says Faith of its origin. "But as an artist I feel like the album is defying borders. It brings together worlds that have always been apart."
It was a night at a horse ranch after a festival that Faith first met and worked with Nico Bentley and Beating Heart's Ollywood. It was this collaborative moment that led to him working with the label that connects Africa's past to its future on this album.
Other collaborators such as Papa Ngoni Fiston from Afriquoi and producer Chris Pedley also took place as a result. "I have collaborated with a lot of talented musicians in my musical journey," Faith elaborates. "But my collaboration with Beating Heart really brought out something exciting. My writing process has really changed after meeting them. Without losing seriousness and quality, I had to write quickly, think fast, and also adapt quickly. "

Aaron's teacher sent home a list of activities that would start family rituals. That got me thinking…do you have any? Because I'm not so sure we do here in KlineLand.
We eat dinner together every night. That's our big one and I know it's supposed to make my kids bigger and better than all the rest. Hey, I saw that on TV!
Other than that, we're pretty open to suggestions. Jim always coaches something. That's been a steady ritual since the twins got into organized sports.
I used to attend all sports events until it came to pass that the sun kills me. Literally, I get rashes and flu-like symptoms. One afternoon in the sun takes three days to recover. Not worth it, really. But I do attend night games.
We used to have our Saturday night poker game. But that's fallen to the wayside since the introduction of the XBox Live into our home. It was fun though and I think it's time to bring that back!
I'm reminded of an episode of The Middle where Frankie, the mom, wants more family rituals. Except they all just end up sitting on the couch watching TV. We don't even do that! I take to my bed early so I can read without the background noise of the cartoon channel.
Jim's mom and dad took the boys every Wednesday night for years and years. It was a little mid-week date night. That doesn't happen any more, so we don't even get a regular night out with just the two of us. We save that for the biggie–the Anniversary! Wow, once a year…
So I am in need of some suggestions for family rituals. Because I don't think yelling, "brush your teeth, go to the bathroom, and for god's sake put on some deodorant!" every night counts.

The environmentalists have of course been greatly aided by having an entire U.N. bureaucracy working on their behalf. And a gullible, scientifically and economically illiterate, left-biased media keen on sensational headlines doesn't hurt their cause either. Nor does a phalanx of sympathetic Hollywood stars which, if Oscar nominations mean anything, includes Al Gore and his "An Inconvenient Truth" scary climate catastrophe flick.
Agitprop in the classrooms
A key component of the environmentalists' propaganda strategy is the education system. From K-on-up the system is heavily dominated by unionized 'educators' who have, for decades now, been very well indoctrinated in socialist utopianism. There can be little doubt that the system has a strong left-inclined bias. So pushing environmental causes comes quite naturally to them. In his excellent column in today's National Post, Peter Foster emphasizes this angle. Beginning with an anecdote about his daughter's Grade 6 class viewing Al Gore's PG-rated movie, he highlights the role of the school system in promoting junk environmentalism:
...if kids need guidance on anything it is about the bizarre notion that they should be saving the earth before they've come to terms with feeding the hamster.
I pride myself that I have done a reasonable amount of environmental childproofing of my daughter. When she came home from kindergarten telling me about the wisdom of Chief Seattle, I was able to explain that those fine words about looking after the earth had in fact been penned by a television scriptwriter. When her school concert featured a little boy pontificating as David Suzuki, and an evil entity named "Exxon," I explained carefully to her why I was writing a nasty letter to the school authorities.
Tony Blair's government is sending a copy [of Al Gore's movie] to every secondary school in the country. According to a report on the CBC Web site, the film "illustrates the dramatic change to the environment caused by burning fossil fuels." No other factors apparently need apply.
Whatever Mr. Gore's future political aspirations, one can't help thinking of H.L. Mencken's insight that: "The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule it."
Shades of Orwell's young "Spies" in Nineteen Eighty-Four. The environmental movement has long had a clear role for children in its campaign to end industrial civilization. Children are to be indoctrinated, and in turn badger their parents.
It is disgraceful to use children for environmental agitprop, but it starts by filling their heads with stories they are ill-equipped to evaluate...
In the current 'climate' of environmental hysteria together with a heavily biased media and education system, opposing scientific and economic views seem hopelessly disadvantaged. In fact anyone expressing views counter to the prevailing politically correct world-view set themselves up for insult, abuse and shunning. This is hardly a healthy 'climate'. So what possibility is there that this situation can be turned around? Is there any hope at all?
One of a very few sources of 'alternative' thinking (the best in Canada) on this subject can be found in the Financial Post 'Comments' section, featuring the writing of Peter Foster, Terence Corcoran, William Watson and Lawrence Solomon. The web obviously also has many sites. But I suspect that these are mostly received by the converted and it's just a small trickle against a deluge of alarmist propaganda to the contrary.
Reality check
Perhaps the best and only real hope is 'reality'. Flawed climate science and associated socialist 'solutions' will be overcome when reality catches up with them. Flawed science is invariably remedied by new discoveries and new data. And socialism is inherently at odds with most economic reality - hence its track record of failure. Unfortunately, the remedies served up by reality may begin only after great damage has been done. And even then corrective action may be a long and uncertain process.

What types of wood do you use?
We are able to use any type of wood available, as well as some man made
Do you install custom fine trim
No, but our pieces are designed so that your local carpenter can easily
slip it right into place. We allow 6"-8" of extra material per
side to allow for mitre cuts to the existing trim.
Who We Are
Profile Showcase
Project Spotlight
Contact Info
do I measure my arched space?
There are a number of different types of arched openings. How you
measure varies according to the type of arch that you have.
What is a "reveal?"
The reveal is the amount of space to be shown of the jamb after
the trim is installed.
We suggest an 1/8, 3/16, or 1/4 reveal.
Full Round
Half Round
there an easier way to get my measured space?
If your window is newly installed ask the window manufacturer what
the model # is. We are often able to get your casing measurement
from that.
What is an elliptical arch?
An elliptical arch has a continuously changing radius.
How do I send you a template?
We prefer that you draw your template onto cardboard or resin paper,
roll it up and ship it to us in a sleeve. Make sure not to cut along
the drawn line. Eyebrow arches do not require a template.
You don't offer my profile.
Can you supply my custom fine trim mouldings?
Absolutely! The first question we would ask is do we have any profiles
that are close to what you are looking for? If so, we can save you
some money by providing that curve and finishing off the entire
opening with the straight pieces to match the profile. If, however,
you are set on a specific look we are able to grind a set of custom
knives to use to design your custom work. That cost would be an
additional $100-$300 depending upon the width of the profile.
What will you need to match
my existing moulding?
We must have a sample of the profile in order to create a custom
knife to match it exactly.
How do you ship my custom
fine trim mouldings?
We use UPS or FedEx for shipping typical orders, or an over the
road common carrier for larger sizes. We will ship anywhere you
require. Our pieces are wrapped in a plastic sleeve, and then in
cardboard, followed by 1/8" foam. This ensures that your custom
fine trim mouldings will arrive in excellent condition.
Do you stain your products?
We do not offer staining services at this time, however we will,
upon request, prime pieces that will be painted.

The Association of Latino Superintendents and Administrators(ALAS) was created by a group of Latino superintendents and administrators who met through the spring of 2003 to discuss the organizational structure, philosophy and goals of forming a national organization. ALAS not only serves as an acronym for the Association of Latino Administrators and Superintendent, but was intentionally selected as a word in the Spanish language that means wings; generating wings to success for Latino educators and students to reach their dreams.
The Florida Association of Latino Administrators and Superintendents (FL-ALAS) was founded in 2012 (originally as South Florida ALAS), by a group of Latino educational leaders in Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties who saw the need to provide a way for Latino educators to collaborate and advocate on behalf of Latino educators, students, and families.
The vision of FL-ALAS is to provide a venue for educational professionals to discuss the needs of our diverse community in order to better serve the Latino students in the state of Florida.
The mission of FL-ALAS is to develop and support Latino professional educators, current and aspiring, into positions of leadership through mentorship, networking and professional development.
• To provide avenues for Latino students and parents to become knowledgeable and engaged in the K-12 educational rights and options as well as in the post secondary college and career opportunities that are afforded and available to their children.
• To advocate and promote policies and legislation that will provide equal rights, access, and opportunities to Latino students, ELL students, and other underrepresented minorities in the state of Florida.
• To advocate for the teaching of all students to the highest academic standards and for the closing of the gap in the achievement of Latino students and other underrepresented minorities.
• To provide networking, mentoring, and professional development opportunities to attract, retain, and promote Latino educators into leadership roles in the public school systems across Florida.

Most of us know we need Vitamin D but are not really sure why or how much we should be consuming. If you have had a series of infections lately, are afraid of catching a flu bug, have a history of heart problems or bone disease then you should ensure that you are taking in enough Vitamin D.
We get Vitamin D by exposing our skin to the sun without sunscreens as they block the UVB rays necessary for the conversion to Vitamin D. In the geographical area that we live in (South Western Ontario) it is almost impossible for us to take in enough Vitamin D from the sun throughout the year. We would need to sit in the sun for approximately 15 – 20 minutes at noon with a bathing suit on to accumulate sufficient levels.
We do take in some Vitamin D from the foods that we eat however, these levels are also insufficient to provide us with adequate amounts. Food sources include salmon, sardines, egg yolk, shrimp, fortified milk, cereal, yogurt and orange juice.
Why do we need more Vitamin D? To prevent infections – it is immune boosting; for stronger bones when you are young and old – it helps your body regulate the absorption of calcium and phosphorus so is important for normal growth and development of bones and teeth; a deficiency may affect your cardiovascular system and increase your chances of developing auto-immune diseases such as diabetes and multiple sclerosis.
To ensure that you have sufficient levels of Vitamin D in your body, ideally we would all have our blood tested a few times a year. This is not possible for most of us though so, get out and walk when you can with your arms and legs exposed, eat foods high in Vitamin D as previously noted, and take a supplement.
Vitamin D in the form of D3 (when sunlight hits our skin this is the form that we produce in our bodies) is the most "natural" form. During the warmer months, from May to October, less will be needed then during the remaining months. Amounts will vary depending upon body size, skin colour, etc. so check with a health Practioner for recommendations.
A great website for more information on Vitamin D is www.grassrootshealth.net. You can even order a Vitamin D blood test through the site.

The Things We Carry2018
drywall, marbles, brass, steel, sand, bronze, cement, glass, ink, L-bracket, walking cane, tennis ball, and leather shoes
32" x 16" x 32"
This poetic structure is focused on coming of age. How we treasure objects and remember space. The qualities that compose a memory, and how the objects we make and houses we build, are what makes us human. This particular structure pieces together fragments of architecture and objects. When merged together at a more familiar scale, they create a space for contemplation. The viewer is also given the larger scale to reflect on their human experience, just like looking into one's own dollhouse.

Rehabilitation-Chemical Grouting
Chemical Grouting
Chemical grouting has been used to stop leaks in sewers, manholes, tanks, vaults, tunnels and many other applications all over the world. Grouting is a long-term defense against infiltration of groundwater into structurally sound sewer systems.
Many different processes are available for structural rehabilitation of pipelines, manholes and even service laterals. Stopping leaks with chemical grout will result in much stronger pipes with more uniform wall thickness. Every step of the test and seal operation can be recorded on video tape to provide a permanent record of the exact condition of the pipeline.
Soil Stabilization
Our company also uses above ground probe-injection to seal many varieties of leaks. Probe injection often stops infiltration, exfiltration and can be used for soil stabilization!

Good. The fact you are even on this page means you are a step ahead of everyone else. Time to amaze your friends by getting younger and never getting sick again.
The plan is simple, costs almost nothing and it really works. Here it is in more detail. Underlined blue words are helpful links.
STEP ONE: Don't put anything in your mouth until you read this
THERE IS NO MAGIC PILL THAT WILL HEAL YOU. Drugs will hide the symptoms and ultimately weaken you even more and you will get sick again and again. So stay away from the drugstore and unless you break a bone, avoid those guys in white lab coats.
Even if you eat right and exercise, your body is toxic. Plastic containers, carpeting, paint, cars, upholstery, computers etc give off fumes. I'm not saying to live without them- but you need to keep flushing your body clean regularly. Years of bad living with junk food, sugar, milk, cheese, pizza, bread, cereal,steak, chicken etc have clogged up your liver, arteries,heart, brain and fat cells and digestive system. All that bad stuff gets stored in your cells (including repressed thoughts, anger etc) and your body slowly starts to wear down, inviting sickness, aging and eventually death. Time to clean it out! When your pots and pans get food crusted on them (like the inside of your intestines) what do you do? You soak them in water right? Water is the universal solvent. We are three quarters water. Water is our friend.
Let's get right to it. The first thing to do if you are sick is CLEAN OUT YOUR BODY. I don't beat around the bush. Go to the drugstore and buy a rubber enema bag and a gallon of distilled water. All bad stuff in our body gets sent down to the garbage department and if your sick - "it aint workin right!". I know I know "YUK". Do you want to get better or not ? I've seen people get rid of migranes within minutes and colds within hours with a few bucks of water and a rubber hose. How fast you get better depends on how messed up you are. Do at least one enema a day while you are sick. If this is new to you,here are instructions. If you really want to heal, get a series of colonics and do a liver cleanse with herbs etc.
Be aware that while you are detoxing, you might get worse before you get better because all that bad stuff is being brought to the surface. You might smell really bad, get headaches, runny nose, feel sick and sore, get congested, spew phlegm, etc. DON'T RUN FOR THE COUGH MEDICINE OR DRUGS ! Just stick it out. Some people get better immediately, some spew pea soup like the Exorcist. Depends on how messed up your body is. If you're just trying to get rid of a cold or flu, this short term cleanse isn't a big deal, but if you are serious and want to totally start over with a clean new lifestyle, this is the hardest, least understood but most important part. If you are serious about long term cleansing, click here.
Surround yourself with people and things that make you feel good. As for food- start from scratch- a whole new clean way of living. If you are sick- only consume fresh juices made right there on the spot. NOT store-bought. Juices lose their enzymes within 10 minutes. Get a juicer and run whatever you can get through it- carrots, celery, spinach, parsley, asparagus,cilantro, beets- you name it. While you're sick, consume ONLY juices and lots of water- no food. After a few days, eat only food the way it's found in nature- raw. If you're in a hurry, just throw it all in a Vitamix (blender). Use only non-toxic soap, shampoo, makeup, toothpaste and cleansers.
Keep this up and watch yourself becoming a new person. Of course people who have been filling their bodies with bad food and toxins for 40 years are going to have a lot more crap to get rid of than younger, healthier people. It's NEVER too late. If you are still breathing, then it's not too late. My father got aggressive prostate cancer in his mid 70's and totally got rid of it in two months by doing 4 enemas a day and consuming nothing but fresh organic vegie and fruit juices. (no solid food) and some herbs. He got exercise, fresh air, sunlight and flushed his body so clean, it could function again. I am SO proud of him! Yay Pops! It's NEVER to late to have a new life. I've heard miraculous stories of people on their deathbed being revived by merely getting proper nutrition again. People who have been given weeks to live got rid of their disease by completely changing their lifestyle. Your body knows what to do. It can heal itself if you give it a chance. But it needs good A+ materials to work with.
Everything you eat and drink should come from a garden, tree, bush or the grocery produce section. Juice it, blend it or eat it but don't cook it. I have some recipe samples below.
Drink lots of water. try for a gallon a day. This does not include juices, sodas, coffee or any other liquid. I mean pure water. By the way- STOP SODAS!!! You might as well be downing battery acid. Don't get me started on that stuff. MS has been directly linked to soda consumption. Here are some nasty facts about Cola. All I drink is water, juice and a bit of green tea. That's it. Your body is 3/4 water and if it doesn't have enough, it can't function right and you get sick. Try not to use water that comes in plastic bottles. The plastic leeches into the water. Use distilled. You will get your minerals from the organic vegetables. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. It is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short term memory, trouble with basic math and difficulty focussing on the computer screen. Many times acid indigestion is from not having enough water, since the stomach needs water to produce acid. (a car battery is mainly water). 8-10 glasses a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers and it also decreases colon cancer by 45%, breast cancer by 79% and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.
You need it. It is NOT bad for you. It directly affects mood, bone health and overall healing. People in Africa who live their entire lives in sunlight don't get skin cancer !
People who get skin cancer do 3 things-
Your body needs sunlight in order to produce vitamin D. People who don't get sunlight get bone problems. Bones start to slowly soften after just days of not getting sunlight. Eventually you get all kinds of osteo and dental problems, weakness, muscle cramps, restlessness at night etc etc. Why do you think you get depressed more in the winter or when it's gloomy outside? YOU NEED SUNLIGHT ! more info on sunlight and health
WHAT TO EAT (recipes etc)
First of all- make sure it's organic. If you sprayed a can of Raid on an apple, would you eat it? Well if you bought conventional fruit and vegetables, then that's exactly what you're doing. What do you think those crop dusting planes are spraying? fragrant bath oils ? Come on! Stop poisoning yourself. Same goes for meat.
Contrary to popular belief, you don't need it. But if you must eat flesh, then at least make sure it's organic. Conventionally factory-raised animals never see sunlight, get no movement, are pumped up with steroids and hormones so they will grow as fast as possible so they can be slaughtered and because they are sick they are pumped full of antibiotics. Over 80 percent of all commercial chickens have cancer when they are killed....and you love chicken right? Think about that. Better still, just lay off the meat. You don't want to get me started on cholesterol, heart disease, constipation, colon cancer and all kinds of other nasty meat-related issues. There is no cholesterol in plant food. Only animals can create it. As for protein- if you don't think there is any in plant foods, consider this- the largest animals on the planet with the biggest bodies and muscles are all vegetarians.( Elephants, Whales) Gorillas are very close to humans in build but much stronger. As for eating meat raw, unless your body is very clean, oxidized and alkaline (which it probably isn't), then that's a great way to get parasites which by the way do not just stay in your intestines- they eat their way through, get into your bloodstream and lay eggs all over your body and feast on your organs. For those of you who think eating meat is natural for man... have you ever gone out and killed an animal, watched it die, then cut it up and eaten it ? How natural does that feel? I'll take mangos and blueberries any day over that kind of karmic guilt.
Again- A good basic rule is - Everything you eat and drink should come from a garden, tree, bush or the grocery produce section. Juice it, blend it or eat it but don't cook it. The cool part about this lifestyle is that a lot of it is literally "grab and go" which is perfect for today's modern hectic lifestyle. Since you don't have to cook anything, not only are you saving time preparing your food, but there are no messy pots with hard stuff stuck to the bottom to soak in the sink. basically all I use personally is a heavy duty blender (VitaMix) and a juicer like the leQuip. That's pretty much it. I just throw whatever I want in the VitaMix, which has a super powerful heavy duty motor and it liquifies everything. I drink it and off I go. The VitaMix is pretty cool. If you run it on high for a minute or two, it heats the food just warm enough without killing the enzymes and I have warm soup. Or I can put frozen bananas and fruit in there and make ice cream. I make my chocolate in there. I make my smoothies with it. Just throw whatever you want in that bugger and let er rip.
A typical breakfast drink:
zzzzzzip - instant breakfast ! much better for you than eggs and toast.
If you feel tired after you eat normal food, that means it's not good for you and your body is overwhelmed trying to deal with it. When you eat raw food, your energy never dies... you just go go go all day long.
The other thing you notice when you eat raw foods (after your body is clean)is that it doesn't take much to be full and on your way. How many times have you pigged out on Pasta and kept eating and kept eating even though you knew you were full, but you were still hungry and that sugar in the sauce kept you hooked for more. Then you sat there afterwords looking like a bowling ball and groaning, falling half asleep. Sound familiar?
Well not with raw foods.
Nature's First Law has these awesome olives that come in a jar with garlic, habanero pepper, oregano and celtic sea salt. They are recommended by Stephen Arlin as a great source of protein. Whatever. They taste awesome and I often pig out on half a jar at a time and that's my meal. Off I go.
I make an awesome raw chocolate(click for recipe) Normal chocolate is cooked, bad for you and makes you fat. Raw chocolate is good for you and makes you thin. You can live off the stuff. I simply mix the ingredients and put it in the freezer and then break off pieces all day long. Mmmmm ! Want to get a girl to fall at your feet, just make this stuff. She'll be all yours! As a matter of fact, I'm going to get some right now- just a minute...
...ok. I'm back. you know when you get a taste in your mouth and you just gotta have it? This chocolate is ADDICTIVE ! Man!
Another easy meal I do is I chop open a coconut (the white Thai kind, not the brown hairy kind).. I put the liquid and scooped-out meat into the VitaMix along with a bunch of raw cashews and some curry and Celtic sea salt and let er rip. It's so rich I'm not hungry for the rest of the day.
Anyway- you get the idea. I get some great recipe /eating ideas from Stephen Arlin's book "RAW POWER". He's a bodybuilder proving you don't need to eat meat for muscles.
The cool thing about raw food is it doesn't matter if you are trying to lose weight or gain weight. You don't have to worry about protein, carbs and fat. Your body will take what it needs. You can exist off very little food if it's raw. If you're building muscle your body will be hungry more and therefore you will eat more. It's that simple.
There are good fats and bad fats. The bad ones are pretty much everywhere in the modern diet. Name any food a typical American eats and chances are it's loaded with bad saturated fats. Gee I wonder why obesity, heart disease and cancer is rampant.
OK, and then there are good fats. Good fats help get rid of bad fats. You need good fats. These are found in nuts, avocados, coconut etc. You cannot get fat from these good fats. When your body has enough, it will not want any more and you will not be hungry anymore. Life couldn't be simpler.
As a matter of fact, for those of you protein whiners, it's FATS you really need to become strong and healthy more than protein. Other than water, your body is mainly made of fats. The cell membranes of your body are made of mainly fats and if you don't have enough good fats, the cell membranes can't function properly - oxygen and food can't get in and out of your cells, leading to disease, aging and the big X.
lose weight fat loss no fat how to lose fat weight loss cellulite flat stomach diet fat non-fat non fat low carb
Your body needs sodium, but standard table salt (pure NaCL) isn't good for you. The body needs a balanced intake of minerals. During your transition, use Celtic Sea Salt which is harvested from the sea and has all kinds of minerals your body needs balanced the way it's found in nature. After a while on a raw food diet, you will get all you need from what you eat without having too add any. Too much sodium of any kind leads to stomach cancer, hypertension etc, so just get it from celery etc.
As for condiments, beware. The secret of most condiments is the addictive combination of sugar and vinegar. You'll find this combo in almost all sauces you are addicted to- ketchup, mustard, relish, mayo, teriyaki, etc etc. The sugar/vinegar combo is instant fuel for YEAST. Are you tired a lot? Think you have Candida? Yes breads are a yeast staple but the sugar/vinegar combo is gasoline for the yeast fire. Do you know how they grow virus cultures in a lab? In sugar water! Nothing grows a virus or bacteria faster than sugar. White distilled vinegar not only makes your body highly acidic but also kills red blood cells.
To spice up your food- use real spices- raw peppers, onion, fresh garlic, whatever floats your boat.
Next to food, this is oneof the most abused and taken for granted necessities. If your battery doesn't recharge properly you will wear down, get sick and age. You cannot simply just sleep in late to make up for it. It doesn't work that way. Your body has natural rythms that are in tune with the Earth, sunlight etc. If you don't play along, you will not be on the Earth that long. We're supposed to have about 8 hours. Our body releases healing hormones between 10 pm and 2 am, and we have to be asleep for them to work. Healthy people on average sleep from 10pm to 6 am.
Your body was made to move. Use it or lose it! Your muscles start to atrophy after just one hour of inactivity. Movement and exercise is the only way to move body wastes out of your lymph nodes which are all over your body. Couch potatoes are toxic. Exercise oxygenates your body and tissues. Disease, parasites and viruses cannot live in a clean body rich with oxygen. You need to BREATHE. Exercise also keeps your bones strong. You've got one body. Use it or lose it. Eyesight problems? Same thing. Eyes are muscles. You're probably not getting enough oxygen to your eyes (lack of exercise) and you probably spend most of your day in artificial light staring at a computer screen, paperwork, books and then go home and watch TV. Your eyes are made to look at the distance, and since you are not using those muscles you are losing your eyesight. Wearing glasses makes it worse. Do eye exercises and get your eyeseight back!
This should actually be at the very top. Your mind controls your body. All the good food in the world will do you no good if you are filled with anger, self-pity, frustration or fear because that will wear you down and hold you back. Watch what you say because your subconsious will make it a reality. Your choice of attitude attracts either positive and negative things into your life. Your choice. Ever have those days where everything went wrong ? Guess who attracted that ? I'll bet you said "What next?" Well life showed you didn't it? Next time expect only good! It is said those that live the longest have the best attitude. They worry little, laugh a lot and love everyone. They don't focus and dwell on on problems, issues and fears- they simply do the right healthy things that promote well being. Don't hold a grudge. Let things go. Relax. It's also good to have a sense of purpose...and I'm not talking about making money. One of the best things that makes us feel good and gives us a sense of purpose is helping others. It helps you go to sleep at night with a smile on your face and jump out of bed in the morning with something to do.
Enjoy life. It's all you have.
Now LIVE !!!

Doctor of Ministry Spiritual Formation and Discipleship
The Spiritual Formation and Discipleship track engages seekers who desire to deepen their journey of personal transformation for the sake of spiritual renewal in their communities. Students will explore diverse approaches to formation and how they can be contextualized in various settings. The Spiritual Formation track is cohort-based and online, with three, one-week, face-to-face site visits in Kansas City, San Diego, and Ireland.
The student who completes the Doctor of Ministry will demonstrate the following:
- Integration of academic abilities, research methods, and advanced ministry skills to develop creative forms and modes of engagement in mission in the Wesleyan spirit.
- Growth in self-understanding, self-evaluation, and self-direction in regard to lifelong study, increased knowledge and skills in human relationships, spiritual growth, and leadership potential in various ministry contexts.
- Growth in understanding of and appreciation for the integration of Scripture, reason, tradition, and experience that characterizes the Wesleyan tradition.
- Formation of a theology of ministry grounded in understanding of and participation in the mission of God in the world.

Introducing The YUM: The New Term For Any Well-Dressed And Well-Groomed Young Man
Meet the object of your latest man obsession: the YUM, or "Young Urban Male."
HSBC is credited with this fitting acronym, although it's kind of inexplicable as to why a financial institution has taken to doling out classifications for the upcoming grade of "it guys."
It might, however, have something to do with all the money these YUMs (kind of catchy, no?) are spending.
According to HSBC, these dudes are dominating the luxury sphere. They're well-dressed, well-groomed, and lack any of the sexual ambiguity of those occupying the "metrosexual" space. We likey.
HSBC is defining the YUM as someone who "prefers to display social status earlier on."
With all the various social media outlets on which to publicize your financial prowess, as well as pop-up sites like Rue La La and Gilt that make luxury goods more attainable for the masses, it's not really a surprise that we're seeing a generation of guys more willing to spend, and more likely to show it off.

Showcasing Temporary Experience on Your Resume
Temporary work, contract assignments and self employment are becoming more and more common. In a job market that lacks the security we've enjoyed in the past, job seekers are relying more and more on their own creativity and determination to make a living, and that's something to highlight on your resume.
Very often the skills and experience gained in these positions are transferrable and relevant to other companies and industries. The key is in understanding the core skills sought by hiring companies and conveying how your assignments strengthened those skills in you.
These guidelines will help you represent your assignments on your resume and in interviews:
- Use a single header: If you worked for a single staffing company but had several assignments, list the staffing company as your employer and each assignment (including significant accomplishments or contributions) as a bullet below the employer. This will also work for "Contractor" and "Self Employed".
- Customize: Most jobs are multi-faceted, so it makes sense to adjust your resume to highlight the aspects of your assignments that are most relevant to a prospective employer while providing an accurate and truthful representation.
- Have confidence: Seeking employment that is outside of your area of expertise (and likely outside of your comfort zone), demonstrates resourcefulness and persistence that employers value. Hiring managers are aware of the difficult job market (it's entirely possible that they've recently been there themselves), and will appreciate your determination.
- Reflect: As your work experience changes and grows, take some time to reflect periodically on how you've grown personally and professionally. Have you acquired new skills? Overcome old barriers? Expanded your comfort zone? Be ready to discuss how this growth can benefit a prospective employer.
Has your career taken a different path than you expected? Has it worked to you benefit or have you found it frustrating? Post in the comments, and let's talk about it!
