Thrive: The Story is Wrong but the Spirit is Right by Charles Eisenstein
"What is keeping us from thriving?" asks the new movie, Thrive. The answer it gives is "the global elite," the people who control the financial system that in turn controls everything else. Operating through the power institutions of our society, this elite pursues a conscious agenda of total world dominance, purposely suppressing anything that would disrupt their power: from clean energy to alternative cancer cures.

Choosing the right holiday is hugely important for consumers, which is why they're willing to spend hours researching online before booking. Reviews and recommendations have played a key part in this process for years, with 88% of travellers using them today.
The past two years have seen the greatest shift in retail since the rise of online shopping.
Brands can no longer rely on shepherding consumers through a tidy funnel towards the final conversion. Instead, they must respond to a new purchase journey driven by consumers, powered by search and social, and reaching across dozens of different touchpoints, from mobile to bricks and mortar stores.
Brands are often nervous about hosting consumer conversations about their products or service on their own sites (or Facebook pages, or their other web real estate). They worry that the discussions will be hijacked by a few cranks and they'll end up with nothing but criticism, posioning their reputation and depressing sales.
We've analysed the data from our curated consumer Q&A tool, Reevoo Conversations, and the results indicate that brands have nothing to worry about.
Earlier this month, Richard Anson spoke to the IMRG Communications Channel Summit on the crucial importance for brands of controlling their online reputation.
He certainly didn't mean silencing your critics by censoring negative feedback. This tactic is a hangover from the pre-digital era and anyone trying it today will fail and will suffer a terrible consumer backlash.
Retailers have always had a tough job, and it's only getting tougher. Helping shoppers research products is hard, pricing is hard, fulfillment and CRM are hard: all remain key battlegrounds in an increasingly competitive marketplace, mostly because there is no widely-accepted "right answer".
However, there is one area where a "best in class" set of answers are emerging, and there's a huge opportunity for retailers to reap the benefits by adopting these best practices.
The most talked about social media trend of 2011 is Question and Answer websites, with big names like Quora and TED Conversations getting huge amounts of attention. Google recently acquired Aadvark, a service which finds the perfect person from your social network to answer any question you could ask. The big question for marketers is how brands can make this newest aspect of the social web work for them.
Product reviews are key for improving conversion, but what about the impact of reviews and social commerce on SEO?
One of the welcome, and often overlooked, benefits of implementing social commerce is that all of this user generated content provides lots of SEO goodness.
Social shopping is a hot topic at the moment but finding ways in which you can make it work today can be difficult. Reevoo Conversations may be just the solution you're looking for.
'Reevoo's Ask an Owner service on the Tesco Direct website is recognised by the Retail Week Awards, being shortlisted for Customer Service Initiative of the Year.'
Reevoo are extremely pleased to be nominated with Tesco's for such a prestigious award amongst an impressive shortlist including Argos, B&Q and Waterstones.

This article needs attention from an expert in Food and drink or Chemistry. (February 2009) |
A preservative is a naturally occurring or synthetically produced substance that is added to products such as foods, pharmaceuticals, paints, biological samples, wood, etc. to prevent decomposition by microbial growth or by undesirable chemical changes. There are two types of preservatives. Class I preservatives and other one is Class II preservatives.
Contents |
Class I preservatives[edit]
Class I preservatives would be something you would expect to find in a person's kitchen, including vinegar, salt, sugar, honey, vegetable oil. Wood smoke is also considered a Class I preservative.[1]
Class II preservatives[edit]
Class II preservatives refers to those preservatives which are chemically manufactured, such as those derived from Benzoic acid and sodium diacetate. Anything derived from potassium or the calcium salts of lactic acid is also a Class II preservative.[2]
Preservatives in wood[edit]
Preservatives may be added to wood to prevent the growth of fungi as well as to repel insects and termites. Typically arsenic, copper, chromium, borate, and petroleum based chemical compounds are used. For more information on wood preservatives, see timber treatment.
Preservatives in foods[edit]
Preservative food additives can be used alone or in conjunction with other methods of food preservation. Preservatives may be antimicrobial preservatives, which inhibit the growth of bacteria or fungi, including mold or they can be antioxidants such as oxygen absorbers, which inhibit the oxidation of food constituents. Common antimicrobial preservatives include sorbic acid and its salts, benzoic acid and its salts, calcium propionate, sodium nitrite (and sodium nitrate which converts to sodium nitrite "in situ"), sulfites (sulfur dioxide, sodium bisulfite, potassium hydrogen sulfite, etc.) and disodium EDTA.[3][4] Antioxidants include BHA, BHT, TBHQ and propyl gallate.[3] Other preservatives include ethanol and methylchloroisothiazolinone. FDA standards do not currently require fruit and vegetable product labels to reflect the type of chemical preservative(s) used on the produce.[citation needed] The benefits and safety of many artificial food additives (including preservatives) are the subject of debate among academics and regulators specializing in food science, toxicology, and biology.
Natural food preservation[edit]
Naturally occurring substances such as rosemary extract, hops, salt, sugar, vinegar, alcohol, diatomaceous earth and castor oil are also used as traditional preservatives. Certain processes such as freezing, pickling, smoking and salting can also be used to preserve food. Another group of preservatives targets enzymes in fruits and vegetables that start to metabolize after they are cut. For instance, the naturally occurring citric and ascorbic acids in lemon or other citrus juice can inhibit the action of the enzyme phenolase which turns surfaces of cut apples and potatoes brown if a small amount of the juice is applied to the freshly cut produce. Vitamin C and Vitamin E are also sometimes used as preservatives.
Health concerns[edit]
This article may contain parts that are misleading. |
Some modern synthetic preservatives have been shown to cause respiratory or other health problems.[citation needed] For example sulfites are commonly used in wines and some dried fruits or vegetables and are known as possible irritants to people with asthma. In one study, children exhibited increased hyperactivity after consuming drinks containing sodium benzoate or artificial food color and additives.[5] [misleading] Prior studies were however inconclusive.[citation needed]

Rate This Recipe"I discovered this one a while back and it's terrific! I've made it at least 10 times now and what's wonderful about this recipe is that when you follow the directions, and you take that first taste, ..." See moreit's perfect. I read the other reviews and i agree, 4 cups is not alot of water, but the vegetables will release alot of water; however, I use two KNORR SWISS beef boullion cubes which makes 2 cups of broth per cube, and i add an additional two cups of water, totalling six cups when i start out. This leaves me with plenty of broth. Another thing though, is if you like spicy, just remember, the cabbage tends to get sweet when you cook it, so you might consider leaving it out, but since I'm a gringo, I'm not a fan of burn my mouth out spicy food, so this soup is the perfect balance and absolutely delicious. Oh, and one other thing, I found that by chopping up some fresh cilantro and sprinkling it on top of each bowl when i serve it adds a real fragrant and authentic finish to this soup. Try it, and you'll never eat this soup againwithout it . Thanks Beatrice for making me happy."
"I really liked this. The first time I made it as is. The second time I used 1 tsp cumin powder, no seeds, 3 cups chopped cabbage, rather than wedges and added a 1/2 cup frozen corn. It's a very pretty..." See more, tasty, spicy soup. Absolutely will make it again. It's perfect for the -20C temperatures were having here!"

The Accurate Attributes of Web Appliance Security: The Role and Action of Black Box Scanners
Why Web Application Security Web Application Security is the most overlooked aspects of the company's current software. Theft is on the rise by as much as 75% of cyber attacks are done by using the Internet and use Web-based applications.
Most companies have provided their data at the network level, but missed a crucial step in testing their web applications are vulnerable to attack.
The web application used to create certain security issues. 1. For delivery of services (design plans) for clients, Web applications should be available online 24x7x365 and 2. This means that they are always accessible and can not distinguish between legitimate users and hackers 3. For proper operation of the Web application should have direct access to the database server that contains sensitive information. 4. Most Web applications on your order and rarely pass through stringent quality control check the application ready to use 5. Through ignorance of the nature of hacking, organizations view the Web application layer as part of the network level, when it comes to security issues.
Infrastructure Security Organization convenient to think of infrastructure as an organization with different layers. In the same way you would be protected from rust by using various chemicals and antioxidants in the layers of paint, the system administrator puts into place a number of specific security solutions for each deal with specific areas of concern.
Level of security is an integral worldview is seen as a security hardening steps to minimize risk and maximize the intrusion protection around the key asset of any organization, data.
Layers of standard safety features include:
- Layer that contains the user's software, including personal firewall, anti-rootkit, clean registry, backup, anti-virus, anti-phishing and anti-spy/adware.
- Transport layer, including SSL encryption, HTTPS, and the same protocol
- The level of access with access control, authentication, crypography, firewall, VPN, firewall, web application
- Network level with firewalls, network scanners, VPN and intrusion detection.
While network security scanner, Safety Analysis of assets on the network for possible vulnerabilities, Web vulnerability scanner (WVS), scan and analyze web-based applications (such as shopping carts, forms, login pages, dynamic content) for each gap due to improper coding that can manipulated by hackers.
For example, it is possible to trick the shape Login to believe that you have administrator rights by introducing a specially crafted SQL (a language understood by the database) command. This is only possible if the input (eg, user name and / or password field) due to sufficient processing (ie, made invulnerable) and sent directly to the SQL-query to the database. This is SQL Injection?
Network security defense provides no protection against such attacks, Web applications, such attacks are launched on port 80 (default for Web sites), which must remain open for business interruption.
Black box testing black box testing methodology to test only design .. In black box testing of web applications, web application itself is considered as a whole, without analyzing the internal logic and structure. Typically, scanners, web applications, whether web-based application can generally be manipulated to gain access to the database. Modern technology allows a greater degree of automation, in fact, reduce the manual input required for testing web applications.
It is important to say, reduction, and not to minimize or do away with. As well as security consultants will tell you, the automation will never replace the intelligence and creativity of human intervention.
In general, the first automatic scanner crawl the entire site, in-depth analysis of each file, they will find and display the entire website structure. After the discovery phase, the scanner automatically checks for vulnerabilities by launching a series of hacker attacks, basically mimics hackers. Scanner will review each page to the place where data can be entered, and then will try all the different combinations of inputs. Scanner will check vulnerabilities on web servers (to open), all Web applications and content of the web site itself. More reliable launch attacks using a variety of products such as smart heuristics level.
Heuristic Scanning the Web is important to understand that a web vulnerability scan should not be limited to specific scanning applications (such as ready mix truck) and / or vulnerability module (for example, from SQL injection, in phpBB Login Form) to the pre-defined library of known issues. If you wish to do so, your application will remain untested for their vulnerability. This is the main weakness of the products is based on matching vulnerability signatures.
Consider the anti-virus software as an example. Standard anti-virus software to scan thousands of known viruses, including viruses and is known for a long time (even those made for Windows 95 systems older). In this day and age it is rarely encounter this OS, but in the minds of consumers, most importantly, "how much virus software detect it?". In fact, with the latest AV will provide protection for all but the virus works in the wild And this is the virus that causes the greatest damage .. Standard AV products without the right technology will not detect the virus in the wild if they can meet only "known" viruses. Good antivirus technology enables heuristic scanning of files or intellectual trying to find a way to model the behavior of applications that can cause the virus.
Web vulnerability scanning works very similar. It would be useful to detect known vulnerabilities known to the application only. Most of the heuristics involved in the detection of vulnerabilities hackers are very creative and begin their assault on custom web applications to create maximum effect.
Of course, this approach does not give false positives, but there is confusion and chaos. False positives occur due to an automatic scan flag problems that may seem vulnerable. Automation invaluable help and scanning accuracy depends on (a) how well your site is crawled to establish its structure and various components and connections, and (b) the ability to use the scanner wise variety of methods and techniques hackers against Web applications.
Automatic verification will lead to false positives. Of course, this level of technological complexity does not lead to zero false positives. It's impossible. Automatic scanning will always result in false positives, depending on the products you use.
We always recommend automated scans must be coupled with a manual scan – this may be one point that all security experts emphasize. Unfortunately, companies do not realize the importance of manual input. If you want your web application will secure you need to spend considerable time examining the automatic side of things. This does not mean that automation is inaccurate – instead, it is very accurate and reduces a lot of work. Automatic scanning will help you to flag potential problems, including false positives and manual further investigation quickly.
Source Code Analysis A set of products related to web vulnerability scanning source code analysis, but they work differently for web crawlers vulnerability. Source code analysis of white-box testing tool that helps developers in their work, automatically analyzing the internal structure and logic of the source code itself for errors and security loopholes. The degree of complexity of these products is based on the specific application logic and a different coding languages. This means that there are some stable product on the market, while technology is moving very fast.

Apple issues iTunes 10.5.1 beta 1 to developers to test iTunes Match
Following the public release of iTunes 10.5 with support for iOS 5 devices, Apple also privately released iTunes 10.5.1 to its developer community, allowing them to test the forthcoming iTunes Match service.The final release of iTunes 10.5, released earlier Tuesday, does not include support for the $24.99-per-year iTunes Match service. It will become publicly available later this month, along with another update to iTunes.
Developers can test the iTunes Match service with the first beta of iTunes 10.5.1, supplied to them by Apple on Tuesday. The beta is available for both Mac and Windows, and iTunes Match is currently available only to developers in the U.S.
When it launches later this month, iTunes Match will scan users' personal music libraries on their computer for music files that were not purchased through iTunes. Those tracks will then be matched up with Apple's library of over 20 million songs in the iTunes Music Store.
With the annual fee, users will be able to access their library of up to 25,000 songs from any device, and will be able to re-download songs via iTunes in the Cloud. Users will also be able to replace their matched files with higher quality 256Kbps iTunes Plus AAC files, even if the original copy is of lower quality.
Apple's iTunes Match service is different from competing options with Google and Amazon, which require that a user upload their personal library of tracks to remote servers. Apple's method bypasses the need for uploading songs by simply matching the files with its own extensive selection.
For songs that may not be available on iTunes, Apple will also upload those files and remotely host them. The songs will then also be available for users to re-download on another Mac or PC, or on the go with an iPhone or iPad.

I'm sure that all of you heard about the passing of Hollywood legend and all-around awesome lady Elizabeth Taylor yesterday, and looking at the many retrospectives on her life that popped up in the wake got me thinking about what Taylor wore not as herself, but as her characters. She played everyone from a mean-spirited, middle-aged professor's wife in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf to the queen herself in Cleopatra, and the wardrobes that she inhabited during her career span an aesthetic continuum that few other actors can claim.
Taylor's best known for her work in the late 1950s and 1960s, though, which is precisely the era to which the Tabitha Simmons Two-Tone Leather Pumps harken back. It was a time of sharply-tailored formality and shoes that a woman could actually walk in, but that didn't stop Taylor from becoming one of the world's best-known beauties or finding ways to sartorially stop traffic. During that time, these shoes would have been just the thing.
From the side, these shoes look far more 60s than they do from the back. The chunky heel actually narrows out quite a bit at the bottom to reduce the shoe's visual heft, a move of which I'm sure any number of old-school screen sirens would have approved. The two-tone tan leather and touch of wingtipping give the design a thoroughly retro feel, and it's almost so retro that I wonder if the shoe's audience will be limited. I hope not, because these shoes constitute a very nice, subtle update on a classic footwear look. Buy through Net-a-Porter for $1010.

I am happy to announce after two weeks of annoying facebook posts, text messages and emails – the votes are in on Art House Reveal - I won!
Thank you so much to all who took the time to vote! Much love.
The brand new online competition was getting close in the end, but Reef was able to pull ahead with 97 votes. With so many good artists in the competition I was not sure who was going to take the win. Thanks to my friends and family supporting me by voting, I was able to snag first. I appreciate it so much!
I submitted two pieces for the competition, one old work and one more recent work. The older painting was Tuscany, done in 2007. The more recent painting was a triptych entitled Reef. Reef quickly jumped out ahead of poor Tuscany and went on to win. My friend Daniel Fleming was also in the competition. His piece, Now that I am older, took a close second. He is am up and coming artist and regularly shows his work around Milwaukee. I first met Daniel when we were both picked for a gallery night show for the Milwaukee Athletic Club last year. You can find out more about him and his work at his site: dflemingartdesign.com.
Art House Reveal is just starting out, but I encourage lots of other artists to enter. It was a great experience and it is worth getting you work out there. For anyone else who is thinking of applying, go arthousereveal.com to start and click on the call for submissions button.
In addition to helping you get your work out in the world, Art House Reveal also donates to to a local charities. For this competition, they were also donating to True Skool, a youth organization which uses dance to bring positive change to their lives. I loved this part of the competition and plan on continuing to promote the website and featured artist for such a great cause.
I will be meeting with the head of Art House Reveal, Mike Pintar, at this Friday's upcoming Art Milwaukee Jamboree. I can't wait to thank him and tell him how much I appreciate someone spending time to promote local artists! I will be doing an interview for the website soon and will definitely post when it is finalized. Thanks again to all who voted, I owe you one!

Last week I realized something. I realized that my dad is one of my heroes, but that wasn't always the case. Thinking back to when I was a teenager, he certainly wasn't my hero. I was my hero back then. Ahh, the ignorance and arrogance of youth.
Not everybody has a good dad. Nobody has a perfect dad. I have a good dad who isn't perfect. When I pause long enough to take a steady look at my dad's life and the years that I've been a part of it, I see plenty of failure. No, let's call it: humanness. My dad has truly always done the best he could by me, and now that I realize what kind of stresses a grown man deals with, I'm starting to get it.
Dad is as hard working a man as there ever was. He's got more energy than me or my older brother.
Dad's faith has grown deep over the years, and it's so obvious that even a self-interested baby-of-the-family like me can notice it.
Dad cries when he talks about the Lord.
Dad sends out text messages like this the day after heart surgery (the part in yellow):

Do what you would want done if you had a chance at winning either the race, masters, or age group, or simply getting a FKT for yourself.

Las Vegas Pro-Am
Thursday marked the conclusion of another great WPGA Nike Golf Las Vegas Pro-Am, as players finished up with a morning round of golf and a banquet lunch afterwards. The annual weeklong trip brought 39 teams and 193 players out to Sin City, to enjoy some great golf and relief from the snow back home. The trip featured players staying at Paris Las Vegas along with golf at Bali Hai GC, Bear's Best and Royal Links GC.
The 54-hole competition featured three different formats of golf, including 2 Net Best Ball, 1 Net / 1 Gross Best Ball and 1,2,3 Net Best Ball. In the end the team from Maple Bluff CC of Jim Schuman, Dave Bruns, Jerry Shipman, John Orr and Chuck Steinhauer held on for the win. The fivesome shot out to a large lead after day one as they went 22-under-par on the 1 Net, 1 Gross format at Royal Links. They then managed to post another two solid rounds to secure the four-shot win over the Kurt Mantyla led Legend Clubs group and Brad Peck's Nakoma group. Their team professional, Jim Schuman helped lead the way throughout the 54-holes as he finished in the top three of the professional stableford events each day. The win marks a sweet moment for both Shipman and Bruns, as they have each supported the WPGA Nike Golf Las Vegas Pro-Am over 20 times.
Once again the WPGA was fortunate to have Nike Golf as a partner of our annual trip out west. This year's event marked their 12
year of involvement. With the help of Nick Jahnke, Joe Ritchie and Jeff Thornhill the trip once again featured some great tee gifts, fun daily giveaways, and on Wednesday a very popular Nike Covert Distance Challenge. The challenge gave all the amateur players an opportunity to see how their current driver stacked up with the new Nike Covert. The top finishers that gained the most yardage were able to take home a new club from the Covert line.
The WPGA would like to thank Nike Golf along with its representatives for their continued sponsorship of the event.

Hemp: The Right Choice for Omega-6
In the world of nutrition lately, the essential fatty acid, Omega-6 seems to be getting a bad rap.
Omega 3's have been touted as 'good' and Omega 6's as 'bad'. In actuality, this statement may be an oversimplification and it's important to know that there is more to the story - especially in regard to hemp.
Omega-6's in Balance:
It is important to remember that Omega-6 is an essential fatty acid that is necessary for optimal health. We must obtain Omega-6 from the diet, as the body cannot synthesize it on its own. Concerns associated with Omega-6 can be traced to the fact that the average Western diet today often contains too much Omega-6 in relation to the Omega-3 fatty acid. The World Health Organization recommends a ratio of 4:1 Omega-6 to Omega-3 for optimal health. Today we are seeing ratios in the range of 20:1 to 50:1. The good news - hemp contains a healthy winning ratio at 3.75:1.
Source Matters:
Some Omega-6's are better than others. But it's important to distinguish between the good and the not so good Omega-6's. Dietary intake of Omega-6 is on the rise due to our increased consumption of processed vegetable oils and processed foods. Omega-6's become less than favorable when they are subject to light or heat, as is the case when these oils undergo standard processing. In addition, processed oils are usually bleached and deodorized to increase shelf-life and cover up the tracks of the damaged oil which would otherwise smell rancid. The body doesn't recognize poor-quality processed oils. What's more is that bad oil can actually cause a deficiency of essential fatty acids. Manitoba Harvest Hemp Seed Oil on the other hand, is an exceptional, balanced source of Omega-6. It is unbleached, undeodorized, nitrogen flushed, stored in a light-resistant bottle, and cold-pressed to ensure that all the valuable nutrients remain intact and preserved.
GLA = An Omega-6 Not to Miss:
Hemp provides Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA), which is a unique and extremely important Omega-6 in the family of Essential Fatty Acids. It's known for its:
- Powerful anti-inflammatory properties
- Hormone synthesis and balance
- Premenstrual health in women
- Healthy blood pressure
- Weight loss
- Improved joint function
- Maintenance of beautiful hair, skin, and nails
Still, obtaining adequate levels of GLA can be challenging. Besides hemp, there are only a small number of foods that contain GLA. While the body has the ability to convert Linoleic Acid into GLA, most of us are not making this conversion effectively, or are missing out on the conversion all together.
Factors that get in the way of making this conversion include:
- Stress
- Smoking
- Sugar consumption
- Alcohol
- Low levels of zinc, magnesium, and vitamins B6, C, and niacin
- Intake of poor quality Omega-6
- Certain health conditions (cancer, high cholesterol, viruses, diabetes, heart disease, thyroid disorders)
The good news - Manitoba Harvest hemp contains GLA in a readily available form - no conversion needed.

He gives and takes away
Posted on May, 29 at 1:26 am
A couple weeks ago Pastor Al preached on resisting the love of money, that it has to do with contentedness. He said that at the heart of complaining is not being content with what God has given you and essentially with God Himself. I know it may not look it, but I struggle a lot with complaining. Sometimes I just feel like it's a second language, it comes so naturally. My focus word this year is supposed to be 'thankfulness' because I really want to curb this complaining thing. Every night, before I start in on the long list of things that need fixin', I try to first think of all that I am thankful for that day. Today feels like the cap on a period of a couple of weeks where it has been easy to complain or to be "not content" let alone happy, and I was reminded of P.Al's message and it really hit me right in the heart.
God has given me so much. He has given me a home to live in, and although it's leaking from the 1000 ml's of rain we've gotten over the past week, I dont have to spend the night in a shelter, nothing of value was ruined, and I got to spend the whole day with Tony and Daniel cleaning up the basement. Even though we were working from 10AM to 6PM, Daniel and I got to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner together, which does not happen very often.
He has given me Emily and Hannah, who at their worst are just two teenage girls deeply annoyed and embarrassed by their older sister, and at the best, are two of the funniest people I've ever known. I need to treasure every moment I spend with them because God has given me such great responsibility, a little portion of His treasure to take care of, and take that very seriously. They are sweet and their hugs, when earnest, are beautiful and most importantly, I love them so so strongly.
He has given me a place to live that, although I'm waterlogged and seen enough rain to jump on an ark myself, we're not in a drought, we can grow our own food, where life can thrive.
He has given me Daniel, who is the sweetest, most compassionate best friend I could ask for. Quick to apologize, and even quicker to forgive… he slaved away on our basement and building me a fence for the garden, my cup overflows.
He has given me His Son, who was the greatest gift of all and makes me the most indebted sinner on my knees.
So much, so much to be thankful for…these words are just a small reflection.

Not a big deal?
Posted on April, 5 at 9:48 pm
Today I was walking through Shoppers looking for last minute Easter eggs, but I ended up in the pet section wondering if I should buy Darcy an Easter treat. She's pretty cute but also pretty bad so I ended up not buying one. But I did over hear this:
"Can I have this candy, Mom?"
"No, honey. Remember, Easter isn't even a big deal."
Not. A big. Deal.
I am stunned by those words. They break my heart. Not a big deal?
Jesus Christ, King of Kings and Lord of Lords, walked the earth for 33 years, lived a human life, full of human pain and suffering and temptation and lived it perfectly, free of sin. He left HEAVEN and His Father, God, Creator of the Universe to come to save us from our sins. He came as a sacrifice to cover all the sins of all time. His hands and feet were nailed to a cross of wood, a crown made of thorns pushed on his head. He was mocked, beaten, executed. For me. For you. Because He loves me. Because He loves you.
He made a way, He closed the gap between fallen man and the Almighty God. God loved the world SO much that He sent His one and only Son as a sacrifice that we might not perish, but live forever in the presence of God. Of God. Of the God that knit us together in our mother's womb. Of the God that made the infinite universe.
My heart is so full of feeling toward my Saviour, my King this Easter that I can't even put it into words. I will never fully comprehend how hard or how much it cost to do what Christ did on that cross, what God did by sending Him there. But my heart is forever grateful and indebted.
At the cross I bend my knee
Where your blood was shed for me
There's no greater love than this.
You have overcome the grave
Your glory fills the highest place
What can separate me now?
You tore the veil
You made a way
When you said that it is done.

this one's for the lovahs

Usually, I'm prone to think that PDC (public display of cheesiness) is the worst and makes my insides curl up into a little ball and wish oh wish that people would just save it for their alone time. But…it's valentine's day, y'all! And today I am very thankful for L O V E in all of it's glory and I allow all the PDC that comes my way.
I am so thankful for all the love in my life and the different ways it pops up. Some people wonder why we even have valentines day at all, and I used to be one of them, but we were talking it over tonight and we realized…although ideally, we would show our love every day of the year, we're a fallen people, and it's nice to have a day set aside that is dedicated to love. Celebrating love. It's why we set aside a day to give thanks, to celebrate the birth of Christ, to honour our Mothers, our Fathers, our Presidents (??). I for one am glad to have a day where everyone brings out their A game and steps up the roh-mahnce a little.
I liked seeing an elderly man hand his valentine a flower, and the two of them walk out of the restaurant holding hands. I liked seeing Bonnie with her bouquet from Pastor Anthony. I like seeing the couples in my life express love they have for each other…some spend all day making cookies for their husbands, some leave cute notes on their walls, some take their wives out for a special treat. It is simply lovely, there's no other word. I liked seeing families out tonight, expressing their love for each other. I like the flowers on our table, and giving the girls v-day gifts because I love them with every fiber of my being. I like having a reason to dress up, to spend a night with Daniel letting ourselves be cheesy and gooey and icky because its just what the day demands.
So yes, I think this day is important. It's important to feel loved, and to let the people in your life to know that you love them. To buy them candy, flowers, lipstick, facials, nail polish (obviously all those were for Daniel) or do whatever it takes to let them know, to lay it all on the line and tell them "I am yours and you are mine." Because people need to know that they are loved, because we need to be an example of the Greatest Love of all…I am His and He is mine.
"This is R E A L L O V E – not that we loved God but that He loved us and sent His Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins." 1 john 4:10

Celebrating Life
Posted on December, 12 at 11:20 am
When I close my eyes I see you
No matter where I am
I can smell your perfume through these whispering pines
I'm with your ghost again
It's a shame about the weather
But I know soon we'll be together
And I can't wait til then.

First ski of the season yesterday! I didn't forget how to ski but I did forget how high those slopes take you. Only two were open, the snoopy (baby stuff) and the sunbowl (which I just found out is also a beginner trail). I wasn't sure I'd make it down but I did, without even falling!
ps. Alexis, 507 posts seemed too risque

Tonight was one of the most simple Thanksgiving suppers I've eaten at home, but I think it was also one of the most beautiful. A few mental images I never want to forget:
Trevor cutting a most gorgeous and delicious turkey for the family, a tradition I hope never runs out.
Daniel and Bethany talking about psychology and apprenticeships.
Sarah and I accusing each other of, and ultimately admitting to, cheating on Words with Friends (but only with each other!!)
Emily, Amanda and Hannah cuddled up on a couch together, like the good old days.
Tony snapping pictures of Trevor taking pictures, us watching that weird magician video.
Grandma and Terry and George talking about the real "good old days".
Jenni and Daniel in the kitchen talking, being friends.
Grandma and Jenni peeling eggs, the way Mommy taught them.
The girls reminiscing of Mommy, telling stories to Daniel and Trevor.
I see whispers of a mother's love passed on to her children. I see traces of her in a beautiful meal that everyone scarfs down. I see glimpses of her personality shining through the faces and souls behind of the individual members of my beautifully odd family.
I see a future where our house is filled with spouses and mates and loved ones who never knew her, but are captivated by stories of how Mommy combed our hair free of lice, how Beth treated us while we were sick. I see the present and the future, no longer only mourning her, but sharing her – her memory, her love, her essence that lives on in all of us.
Thank you, God, for this beautiful life of mine. For the beautiful people who make up my family. For my beautiful mother and the love she gave me. For my beautiful Saviour and that He laid His life down for me. For books and for flowers, for apple crisp and pecan pie, for odd youtube videos and funny pictures, for phone calls and facebook links, for gift baskets and for friends, for memory and for joy. For a love that knows no bounds.

Just popped a turkey in the oven, mashed some potatoes, baked some buscuits, and oh yeah – STUFFING – but I'm taking a break to blog about thanksgiving.
I have had a crazy (read:busy) couple of days. Last week I had two exams and an assignment due, this week one exam and two projects due (in the same day!!). I literally spent every minute of Sunday doing something productive, and I have never been so tired in my life. Got up early to take Emily to cheerleading, then Church, then Hannah and I baby sat some kiddos for Thunder Bay Christian Fellowship, and then weekly grocery shopping (eye roll) and finally five hours of uninterrupted studying because I kicked my butt to the library. As a result, I'm pretty sure I did well on my exam come Monday morning, but I was exhausted. No time for sleep, though, because those projects aren't going to finish themselves. If only, if only. By Tuesday at 230 pm, everything is done, and I sigh a big sigh of relief because I feel like a million weights have been lifted off my shoulders and I think about going home to sleep for about ten hours.
All this is going somewhere, I promise.
Later Tuesday night, Emily has a coupon for a free pizza from Pizza Hut, so I head over there to get one. Daniel is meeting me there, so I wait in my car for him. It's freezing so I turn the car on for a bit but then off because I don't want to die of carbon monoxide poisoning…also, the environment, duh. Now this is important for the purpose of our story, I did NOT take my keys out of the ignition like maybe a smart sensible person would. I lay there in my car until he pulls up and promptly get out and lock the car. Yeah, without my keys. I'm distracted because he shows up with a bouquet of flowers (lillies, my fave) for no reason, besides he's trying to win boyfriend-of-the-year, but we realize I did this stupid thing and he suggests calling his dad. This ordinarily wouldn't be a big deal but considering I have now locked my keys in my car and asked Gerald for help five times (!) I feel really awful at doing it again. This awful feeling coupled with a serious lack of sleep brings me to the brink of tears. "Don't worry, he'll think it's funny", says Daniel, clearly trying to avoid any tears that he might see piling up in my eyes. I can tell from the tone of the phone conversation it doesn't really come across as "funny"…and the tears are really close now. Gerald calls his key guy and we go wait in Daniel's truck. Well, in the dark, with nothing to focus on but my overall miserable existence (drama) I really can't stop the tears from coming.
Daniel suggests calling his dad to apologize because it might make me feel better…so I call, and while I get out "Hi Gerald, I just wanted to say…" the "I'm sorry" part is muffled because I am full on sobbing now. "Don't worry, you're a good kid" and a few more things to make me feel better…and I hang up. Daniel has left the truck, partly to wait for the key guy, partly to give me privacy with his dad, and probably also to say a prayer that I stop crying soon. Well I look down at his phone and think about the conversation I just had, look at the flowers he got me for no reason, and I just start bawling even more because I feel so helpless and unbalanced in the love I give and the love I receive. He tells me later that they don't love me for what I give them but for who I am, which makes me want to cry more, and we both decided I need some good sleep.
So long story short, this thanksgiving, I'm getting down on my knees and thanking the Good Lord for everything he's given me – because even though the above scene was exacerbated by fatigue, the truth is, I can never give God as much Love, or as pure Love, or whole Love, as He gives me. I'll never measure up and instead of dwelling on that, instead of letting that break me down, I need to let that build me up, because, what Amazing Love He has given me. Who am I, that the Eyes that see my sin, would look on me with Love, and watch me rise again? I'm thankful for Love that knows no bounds, spare keys, boyfriends who bring flowers, and their dads who love you too – to name a few
Not because of who I am, but because of what You've done. Not because of what I've done, but because of who You are.

If I could send a letter to my mom and knew she would get it, this is what I would write.
A lot can happen in one day, your whole life could change in a day. And to think, there's 365 days in one year. That's a lot of opportunities for your life to change.
One year, 365 days. That's how long it's been since you left this earth. And life has not changed 365 times but there were definitely days when I felt unsure of what life would look like at the end of the day.
But life has changed, and I know you could find out about our lives, and where we're at, but when you're busy feasting with the King, who can find the time?
Well I'm proud of our silly little family and how far we have come in one year. Hannah started high school last month. This is crazy, she has a million new friends and she hangs out with them all the time and they think she's funny. She still likes hamsters and coffee and reading, and she still has long thick beautiful hair. She got that from you. She plays the alto sax and Mrs J says she is so cute and so small.
Jenni started to volunteer at a day care and Ashleigh says she is a big help. She also takes art classes once a week and makes the most interesting and creative things – she gets that from you. Leona helps her so that she can still do communion.
Sarah is back in Thunder Bay at LU with me in the science program. She came home, went back, came home – but I'm glad she's home. She and I, and Bethany and Trevor have lunch together every now and then and its nice. Nice to have some family around the campus.
Emily is on student council and the grade 11 rep. She has really matured since her 16th birthday. I can see it in the way she talks to adults. She's going to learn how to drive soon and she is going to France in the spring. She dyed her hair with a pink strip this month for Breast Cancer. And she went out on her own and got a job at Superstore.
I started dating Daniel, and I'm at LU now too. I'm doing a double degree of history and english. ANd I've decided to do the honours concurrent ed program. Which means that hopefully in 5 years or so I'll be teaching high school history. I drive a stick shift too…even went over a few hills today by myself. I perfected beef stew and banana bread. I crochet all the time and have made some pretty awesome blankets. And I'm going to be the maid of honour at Emily W's wedding.
Grandma is really involved in her Japanese Lakehead group. Tony plays the guitar every night – now the bass and electric too. Joel is doing some schooling and Tony helps him in the morning. Mary moved to Minneapolis and lives on a really pretty street. Melinda is running marathons and what not.
You see…life moves on. Sometimes that's the hardest part…life moves on despite my world changing. I remember sitting in that waiting room and telling Melinda and Dana that I would never feel anything other than that sorrow. How could I do anything while I was enveloped in that sorrow? How could I care for anyone, make supper, clean a house, live while I was so utterly consumed by that dark grief? And there were times when I begged God to just freeze time, but it kept on ticking on, and I'm thankful that God didn't slow down time to let me wallow. God has given us so many gifts this year, and He has reminded me of you every day. And He has slowly allowed my heart to heal bit by bit. And I know that the years to come, though long and still missing you, will be full of God's gifts and good things. You taught me that. While I wish you were here to see these good things with us, I know one day we'll be together again and that will be a great thing. I'm practicing my patience, really.
I miss you. Every day.
I love you.

My great friend Alexis is jumping the pond today and spending a year in England studying abroad. This was the first summer since we both left for school that we could really hang out and I have enjoyed her company so much lately that I am really sad to see her go, but I know she is going to have a great time and I hope she enjoys herself so much.
I had a lot of fun with you and Lorraine last night…discussing the Mother, planning the future and lining it up, naming our kids, drinking pop and just being friends. You are a great friend and one of the best that God has given me.
So good bye Alexis, have fun

Take A Back Road
Posted on September, 7 at 11:40 am
And just like that…summer's over! This feels like seriously the shortest summer of my life. The girls are back to school today (Hannah – my baby – in HIGH SCHOOL) so I feel like some summer reflection is in order. Here's a few things I learned this summer:
- I love camping. I spent a large portion of this summer camping, and I have to say that I think there is a lot of camping in my future. I like canoeing, sea-dooing, being on a lake. I like falling asleep listening to nature a few inches away. I like sitting outside with people you love. I like playing cards after dinner and taking walks. (But I'm still me and I like the way it feels when you come home and take a shower…haha)
- I love country music. Yeeeaaaaahh…top songs this summer: "Just a Kiss", "Country Girl (Shake it for Me)", "Long Hot Summer", "Dirt Road Anthem", "Honeybee", "Knee Deep"…but nothing makes me smile like "Take a Back Road". I'm the kind of girl who stays in the car or drives around the block to listen to her favourite song when it comes on, or stop talking to someone so I can sing along…
- I love bbq-ing…and I'm good at it. Chicken, corn, potatoes, peppers…I'll miss you during the winter.
- I love family. I like hanging out, watching tv, playing games, eating dinner, catching up, crying, laughing, celebrating, mourning, hugging, kissing, planning. I like Scattegories, Skip Bo, nickle me, Taboo, planking, fireworks, Parenthood, Big Bang Theory, swimming, the Minnesota Zoo, the Mentalist, fishing, 103.5 the Thunder, Adele, Rock Band, Super Secret Spy Crew, Bryan Gosling, Starbucks, TimBits, Whale Tours, Puffins, flamingoing and everything else we did together. It doesn't matter what it is, where we are, as long as I'm with YOU…I'm good.
It was a different kind of summer for different reasons but looking back on it, I'm okay with how it turned out. I felt full and I felt warm and as the weather gets colder and we start approaching the things we don't want to approach, I'll look back on this summer and all the good things that happened and maybe that warmth will tide me over. I'll be thanking God for every day I get to live this crazy, warm, loving, full life of mine, until next time…

Cooking up a watch party for 'True Blood' Finale
HBO's "True Blood" comes to the bloody end of its fifth season at 8 p.m. Sunday, meaning hard-core fans will be as wont to throw a watch party as Russell Edgington is to toss back faerie-blood shots.
Just in time for the finale and the coinciding watch party, I've scored recipes from the new cookbook inspired by the campy vampire telenovella called "True Blood: Eats, Drinks, and Bites from Bon Temps."
Well-known New Orleans chef Marcelle Bienvenu has put together 85 recipes inspired by the stories of individual characters from Sookie Stackhouse to my favorite character, Lafayette Reynolds.
While Bienvenu supplies the recipes, background text is provided by show creator Alan Ball and Gianna Sobol with photos from Alex Farnum and contribution from food writer Karen Sommer Shallett.
While moody teen vampires, werewolves and humans with angst in their pants have nearly erased the memory of Bram Stoker's truly monstrous Count Dracula, "True Blood" does a good job of soaping it up like "Twilight" whilst maintaining the horrific edge that keeps us on the edge of our seats.
Produced by Alan Ball ("American Beauty," "Six Feet Under"), "True Blood" is based on "The Southern Vampire Mysteries" series of novels by Charlaine Harris.

Title: King's Oak
Author: Anne Rivers Siddons
Pages: 608
He would make her whole again.
Leaving behind a disastrous marriage, Andy Calhoun moves to the small town of Pemberton, Georgia, "in search of banality." What she discovers, though, is not serenity, but Tom Dabney, a passionate and magical man. An exuberant poet who worships the wilderness surrounding Pemberton, Tom is everything Andy doesn't need in her life right now. But despite warnings from friends, Andy is soon deeply immersed in Tom's life and his world…a world he will do anything to protect. When Tom declares war on the enemy poisoning his woods, it becomes clear that Andy must choose between her life with Tom and the one she left behind…if Pemberton society will take her back.
Book #45 was King's Oak, by Anne Rivers Siddons.
This book took me a while to get into. I had actually put it away with the intention of trying again later, then grabbed it again when I needed something convenient to read. Ms. Siddons tends to do a lot of set-up, and I felt like I had to plow through it before I got to the interesting meat of the story. However, when push comes to shove, I end up rather enjoying her books, even when I have to skim through several pages about worshiping the woods.
Book count: 45/50 — 90%

This year, the Global Fund is celebrating 10 years of impact in fighting the three diseases in partnership with other bilateral and multilateral organizations. In its 10 years' existence, the Global Fund has brought treatment and prevention to millions of people. The world has moved from a mood of despair in the face of unstoppable pandemics to one of genuine hope that they can actually be beaten, and by providing nearly a quarter of all international funding to fight AIDS, two thirds of the funding against malaria and more than four fifths against TB, the Global Fund has played a central role in this turnaround.
The Fight Against Malaria
Malaria was a neglected disease at the beginning of this century. Since the massive expansion of nets' distribution, at least twelve countries have shown a reduction of 50 per cent or more in either confirmed malaria cases or admissions and deaths in just the last few years.
According to WHO data, the estimated number of malaria cases per 1000 persons at risk of malaria, reduced globally by 17% between 2000 and 2010. Between 2000 and 2008 there were steep declines in malaria cases in Botswana, Namibia, South Africa and Swaziland, indicating progress in this direction.
Beyond the southern tip of Africa, the biggest reductions in malaria cases and deaths since 2000 have been on islands and in small countries with intensive control programmes (Sao Tome and Principe, Cape Verde, Zanzibar).
Eritrea, Rwanda and Senegal are among the countries that are making the impressive progress against the disease. Malaria also appears to be in decline in Ethiopia and Zambia which have greatly increased net and indoor residual spraying coverage. In each of these countries, the number of cases reported annually fell by at least a quarter and, in some instances, by more than a half, between 2000 and 2010.
Thanks to Global Fund-supported programs 230 million insecticide-treated nets have been distributed worldwide to protect families from malaria; 230 million cases of malaria have been treated; and 43 million indoor residual sprayings have been provided for vector control.
Funding for malaria
Despite these successes, the global economic crisis has led to pressures on international health spending at precisely the moment when investments for malaria should be increased. If adequate resources are not raised, gains in malaria mortality reduction can be lost.
The World has never been so close to reducing the disease burden of malaria to a level at which it is no longer a public health threat in most endemic countries within the next decade. If momentum is list, even more costly investments will need to be done in the future to get back on track.
About the Global Fund
The Global Fund is a unique, public-private partnership and international financing institution dedicated to attracting and disbursing additional resources to prevent and treat HIV and AIDS, TB and malaria. This partnership between governments, civil society, the private sector and affected communities represents an innovative approach to international health financing. The Global Fund's model is based on the concepts of country ownership and performance-based funding, which means that people in countries implement their own programs based on their priorities and the Global Fund provides financing on the condition that verifiable results are achieved.

PLYMOUTH — Oliver Ford has started a new Christmas tradition that it has entitled "20 Days of Giving." The Oliver Ford service team of Cody Rhodes, Barry Grosselin and Gayle Lemler — as well as the ladies in the office: Gracie Fonseca, Wendy Tapia and Della Egger — have been collecting new and gently-used toys for the children of the Marshall County Neighborhood Center and the Heminger House in Plymouth. In return, Oliver Ford gave each person that donated a toy or a monetary donation 50 percent off an oil change, including a spot-free vehicle wash.
Santa and Mrs. Claus (with helpers William and Carolyn Cassell) visited Garden Court West apartments recently, spending time with residents and their families.
ARGOS — While a much needed drainage project is being contested, it isn't coming to a stop. While Thomas Crowell, a property owner continues to contest the assessment of the project, crews are set to begin work on the south side of Argos. The project will give some much needed relief from storm water to that side of the town.
LAKEVILLE — The Lakeville Lions and LaPaz Lions billed their joint 2010 Toys for Tots campaign, "a bigger challenge." More than 1,500 toys, 63 food boxes for families with children and six more for senior citizens, record monetary contributions, boxes of donated clothes and winter wear, and a burgeoning number of community volunteers later, the groups certainly met the challenge. Both Lions clubs spent the past several weeks raking in items, with a single blitz day in each town, as well as donation boxes located throughout the community.
PLYMOUTH — It won't be long until Marshall County Sheriff Jon Van Vactor will move on into retirement and the Marshall County Commissioners took the opportunity at their Monday meeting to express gratitude for his service. The Commissioners passed a resolution in "…recognition of outstanding accomplishment…" for ensuring the safety of Marshall County residents as well as his contributions to the construction and design of the current Marshall County Correctional Facility.
PLYMOUTH — The Marshall County Plan Commission will look at the possibility of a part time director. That was the charge given to the Commission from the Marshall County Commissioners Monday as the county continues to look at ways to trim spending for the coming year. Commissioner Jack Roose initially made the suggestion that the Plan Commission do a study on the possibility and report to the Commissioners in January.
In the movie "A Christmas Story," 9-year-old Ralphie just wants "an official Red Ryder carbine-action 200-shot range model air rifle with a compass in the stock, and this thing which tells time," and throughout this classic tale, Ralphie's friend Flick takes "a double dog dare" to see if his tongue would really stick to a flagpole.
Was it curiosity to see if a tongue really does stick to a flagpole? Or just a re-enactment ... here, Eleanor Miller's grandsons Robert Howland and Jimmy Miller have a little film fun and re-enact the famous scene.
PLYMOUTH — Dr. John Bottorff, Sr. received the honor of being named a Fellow to the Palmer Academy of Chiropractic this year. Those receiving the honor are proven leaders in their profession and communities. In accepting the honor, the 87-year-old practicing chiropractor expressed his regrets that his late wife Carol could not be with him to share the moment. Carol (Emenaker) Bottorff passed away in 1994.
PLYMOUTH — The Ply-mouth High School Speech and Debate Team had a busy and fruitful December in terms of competition as a team and in individual performances. On Dec. 5, two-thirds of the team traveled to Peoria, Ill. to compete in the George Armstrong Invitational at Bradley University. Overall, the team placed fifth, competing against teams from all over the United States. Earning individual honors were Bryt Hiatt, placing third in total sweepstakes points; and Austin Craft, fourth.
Embracing winter and the fun that goes with it, the Pilot News is giving readers the chance to send in photos of their best snow creations. The feature is titled, "Me and My Snowman," and readers are encouraged to be creative and use props, outfits, etc. to make their snow people truly unique. Any age can participate — as evidenced by above (from left) Tim Reinholt, Maggie Nixon and Shelby Jones, and their little friend Sunny Snow — all decked out in kayak safety gear at the Knox park. We also encourage you to pose with your snow art.
