Kristen & Abner || Mount Ida Farm Wedding
I wasn't sure what to expect when Ann of Anny Photography asked me to second shoot with her for a wedding in Richmond. For one, I've never been to a venue further than the immediate DMV area, so I was giddy to be able to "travel" for wedding photography (anything more than an hour is traveling in my book!!). Moreover, it was one of the hottest days in June! Of course I was in a treat, just like any other time when I got to work with Ann!
In fact, Kristen and Abner's wedding was definitely one of the most memorable weddings that I have been too. Between the love and celebration from family and friends, to the adoring looks and gentle touch between the couple, it was a heartfelt wedding, and I was so lucky to be part of it. Some of you might have even seen this wedding featured on Washingtonian Bride & Groom! You can check out more of their love story from Ann's blog here.

In situations like this, the simplicity of launching the app, swiping a goal, and closing the app is lost. Adding the power to rearrange goals would reinforce the main selling point of Full.
Remembering to track
When I approach using an app like this, I always think it's a good idea but wish I didn't have to remember to actually launch it to track my progress. It's the same with task-managing apps -- I can never remember to enter reminders into the app. Oh, the irony.
What the developers at Full decided to do was set a recurring notification for the app. Doing so means your iOS device will remind you to track your goals every day. For me, that reminder seems to fire every night at 7 p.m. At that time of night, I'm typically spending time with my kids, making alerts like this one something I ignore or dismiss without a second thought.
Unfortunately I can't find a setting within the app to customize the alert time. I'd love to see an option to change the alert time, or even just to snooze the current alert for a couple of hours.
It's no secret that tracking progress on a goal you're working toward can provide a boost in motivation. Full is a well-designed app, with a straightforward user experience.
Unfortunately, it's not quite ready for prime time yet. With just a few tweaks to the app, Full would be the ideal app for keeping tabs on your progress, but for now I would wait for another update.

As regular readers of this blog will be well aware, I am one of the very small band of atheists who takes a considerable and sympathetic interest in Christianity. Like the Devil, I even quote scripture for my purposes sometimes. And I did for a while do a regular scripture blog devoted to recovering via New Testament exegesis what first century Christians believed -- before the paganizing influences of later centuries had set in. If you are an orthodox Christian, don't read it. You may find it disturbing.
And I have written at some length on what history shows us about the common Christian claim that Christianity is an essential foundation for a moral society and individual liberty. I could find little support for that claim. But I see no evidence for the opposite claim, either: That Christianity is bad for you.
So when I saw a report of the negative garbage written about Christianity by "humanist" Gregory Paul in the Journal of Religion and Society, I gave him a pretty good blast (yesterday) over his apparently clueless "research" methods -- without bothering to check on what others had written before me . One of my readers, however, has pointed me to a very comprehensive article by Statguy -- who has taken the trouble to look in more detail at the "research" concerned. And it is, as I thought, incompetent to the point of fraud. Paul apparently carried out no appropriate statistical analysis of any kind. No reputable academic journal in the social sciences would have accepted such clueless garbage -- and I say that from the viewpoint of someone who has had many critiques of academic journal articles published. So I think that identifies without need for further enquiry what the Journal of Religion and Society is: a Leftist rant and nothing more is my guess.
It might be of interest for me to pass on something else that my reader emailed me about Gregory Paul: "I heard him defend his study on a national talk show here in the States. The reason he gave for including Black violence was that Blacks were mainly influenced by "Southern Redneck" culture which came from Protestant Southern English culture and therefore Christian religion is the reason for Black violence. This Leftist's logic is so bad I really don't know what to say".
Amen to that. For more on the "troubled" relationship Leftists have with science, see GREENIE WATCH. The fourth post down that I put up there yesterday is very much to the point. And genetic science is very inconvenient for Leftists too. See, for example here
Before I leave the subject of dodgy Leftist science, have a look at this report: "In a Cornell University study [of Cornell Sociology students], men who perceived their masculinity to be maligned displayed more homophobic attitudes, tended to support the Iraq war more and would be more willing to purchase an SUV over another type of vehicle. In other words, men overcompensate when they feel their masculinity is threatened".
I get a bit tired of pointing out the holes in this sort of study so I will simply note that there was NO sampling done for the "research" so NO generalizations from the study are possible -- not even generalizations about all Cornell students, let alone about men in general. And students do of course become expert at telling their teachers what their teachers want to hear. A university education in the "Humanities" seems to consist of little else these days. And having taught sociology students for 12 years at a major university, I know what a wacko lot they can be. I remember one student who seemed to think that the idea of negative numbers was some sort of CIA plot. And I am pretty sure he ended up graduating!

If You Have Feline Friends, You'll Definitely Fall In Love With 'The Cat Rapper'
I have always loved cats, and the second I moved into my own place, I adopted one.
Now I have two beautiful kitties and they are the absolute best. There's a reason the Internet loves cat videos — our feline friends have a unique ability to make us smile.
Dwayne Molock, aka The Cat Rapper, is someone who takes his love for his kitties to a whole new level. His social media accounts are full of incredibly genuine appreciation for cats and those who love them, and his raps about his own cat adventures are the best thing I've ever heard.
Here's Molock with two of his four feline friends hanging out at home. He never misses the opportunity to tell his fans how much he loves them.

Calls to immediately staff 'underfunded' Limerick mental health service
Deputy Quinlivan critical of 'underfunded' clinic in city
LIMERICK TD Maurice Quinlivan has said that more staffing and resources need to be immediately made available at an "overwhelmed and underfunded" mental health service for children in the city.
This comes as parents were informed of extensive waiting times for cases.
The Leader previously reported that a senior clinical psychologist at Blackberry Park, Ballykeeffe, wrote to parents earlier this month, announcing that they have created a waiting list for urgent and standard referrals.
This is because there is a "lack of psychology staff resources and no maternity leave cover for existing staff" and are unable to provide support through their parent support clinic. This newspaper also previously reported in April that 953 children were placed on a waiting list for either assessment or intervention, and that the service had been without an intervention child psychologist for 11 months.
Deputy Quinlivan said in the Dail last week: "Children should not have to meet this extreme standard to access psychology services when they need it. It's completely unacceptable that all other children accept children in these urgent cases are to go on a waiting list.
"I have been in contact with the Senior Clinical Psychologist in the School Age Service who has worked in the service for nine years. She said when she started the caseload was 120 children, but now it is 410. Despite this there is just one full time senior grade clinical psychologist and 1 part time to deal with this massive workload. The staffing has not increased despite the trebling of the caseload," he said.
"Currently the government are deciding how much money they can put away in the rainy day fund, so how can the Minister stand here today and tell me that hundreds of millions is better sitting in a bank account, than a tiny fraction of it going towards this incredibly important service for children.
"The solution here is very straight forward. Limerick Early Intervention Service and School Age Teams need more staff, more funding and more resources immediately. I want to take this opportunity to commend the staff in Limerick Early Intervention Service and School Age Teams for working so hard, for so many children, with so little resources."

It was a wet Friday night at Roark stadium, but the rain did not slow down your #3 ranked Brownsburg Bulldogs as they defeated the #2 ranked Avon Orioles 21-7!
The Bulldog defense stymied the visiting Orioles, holding them to 7 points. Not only that, but the defense scored 7 points of their own, as Senior Lawson Aiken stripped the Avon running back of the football, and Senior Jacob Birkofer scooped the ball up and scored a 12 yard TD! The entire defensive line of Aiken, Dane Middlebrook, Dorian Keys, and Cody Edmonds had a great night against the Avon offensive line. The entire defense was outstanding, and this was by far the performance of the year so far!
On offense, once again running back Donnie Marcus shouldered the load during the terrible weather, as he carried the ball 31 times for 112 yards and a touchdown. While throwing the ball was difficult, quarterback Ben Easters was able to be successful when it mattered as he made critical completions to WRs Luke Lacey and Bryce Kirtz on the decisive final drive, before finally completing a back-breaking touchdown to Jared Huges for the final score.
Please come support your soon-to-be second ranked team in the state, as the Dogs travel to Fishers to battle the always-tough Tigers. The Dogs have their sights set on a Hoosier Crossroads Conference title, and the fans help in avoiding a letdown after a huge victory is welcome!

Buying clomid (clomiphene citrate)
The commonly referenced brand name for clomid is clomiphene citrate, it is medically used for the treatment of hormonal cancer such as breast, also for fertility treatment in women. It helps in ovulation. In men it is given to stimulate the production of testosterone. Clomid exerts its affects by blocking estrogen, therefore its chemical use is to oppose the negative feedback of estrogens and for hypothalamic pituitary axis (HTPA) which enhances release of LH (leutenising hormone) and FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) this can help to enduce ovulation. Clomid is chemically a synthetic estrogen with both agonist and antagonist properties very similar in structure to nolvadex.
Bodybuilders or athletes use clomid at the conclusion of a steroid cycle when their endogenous testosterone levels may be depressed. When there own testosterone needs to be elevated or brought back to normal. If testosterone levels arn't brought back to normal levels, then the user will experience a loss in size in strength once the anabolic steroids have been removed.
This is because cortisol a catabolic hormone becomes the dominant force affecting protein synthesis, potentially breaking down muscle tissue bringing about a catabolic state.
This state is often referred to as a post steroid crash, clomiphene citrate helps counteract this scenario by playing a key role in preventing the break down in athletic performance, Females use clomiphene to increase endogenous oestrogen levels. Clomid can be used mid cycle to balance horomone levels of estrogen in the body, and prevent excess water retention and potential gynaecomastia.
When taking clomid side affects are seldomly reported such as dizziness, visual disturbance, hot flushes, nausea, depression and loss of libido. When taking clomid after a cycle athletes typically find that a dose of 50-100mg's per a day to restore testosterone function/levels over a 3-6 week period is sufficient and can be combined with HCG in the first few weeks after a cycle to kickstart testicular function.

Brandi Smith Team
Brandi Smith Team
Brandi Smith Team- RE/MAX of Abilene
4404 S Clack Street
Abilene, TX 79606
- Designations:
Brandi focuses all her attention on residential properties in Abilene and the surrounding counties, a real estate market that she knows extraordinarily well after a decade in real estate.
She attended CJC and studied Real Estate at Kaplan Professional School and Southwest College. She also holds her Graduate Realtor Institute designation and she is an Accredited Buyer Representative. She is also a member of the National, the Texas, the Abilene Association of Realtors, and Big Country Home Builders Association.
As a Realtor, Brandi loves the endless opportunities that the industry brings. A proud supporter of Children's Miracle Network, she is honored to donate to the charity on behalf of her clients every time she lists and closes on a property. Brandi herself has two beautiful children – ages 12 and 8– her pride and joy!
Brandi's dedication to the industry and to her clients has fueled her success. Based on her commissions, RE/MAX has honored her with awards given only to a select group of high-producing associates. In her first year at RE/MAX, she earned the Executive Club award; in the next 4 years, the 100% Club award; in the last 3 years, the Platinum Club Award, in 2016 REMAX Hall of Fame Award and in 2018 Earned the Chairmans Club award.
Brandi also invests in properties in poor condition and then dramatically improves them for re-sale. Making numerous interior design decisions and using her knowledge of the market and what buyers are looking for, she creates beautiful homes for families that further enrich the neighborhoods.
She loves real estate, and she loves interacting not only with clients but also with other professionals in the industry. That's also why she recently created a team. Not only does her team allow her to offer her clients more comprehensive service and expertise, but it also gives her a way to help others succeed in the realty business.
As an agent who's an expert in this local area, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate here. It's not the same everywhere, so you need someone you can trust for up-to-date information. I am eager to serve you. Here are some of the things I can do for you:
Find Your Next Home
You need someone who knows this area inside and out! I can work with you to find the right home at the right price for you, including all the neighborhood amenities that matter - not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home
Sell a Home
When it's time to move, you need someone who will advertise your home, show to prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase contract, arrange financing, oversee the inspections, handle all necessary paperwork and supervise the closing. I can take care of everything you need, from start to close.
Consult on Home Selling Tactics
Oftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home the way you do. I can make your home attractive to its ideal audience - which can help you get top dollar. Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be the difference between a home resting on the market and one that's sold fast.
"The Brandi Smith Team is exceptional. From our very first contact with Chloe we felt extremely comfortable as she was very knowledgeable, professional, and always easy to contact. Being an out of state investor, we relied heavily on Chloe and Brandi to help us and they definitely went above and beyond. I look forward to doing more business with this All-Star Team"
-Devin-Valarie Burke , Client
"Chloe Dillard was amazing with helping my husband and I find the perfect home for our growing family! She had worked with my parents find a house when we first moved to Abilene years prior and I knew immediately who to contact once my husband and I started looking for a house of our own! I definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a realtor that truly has the buyers interest at heart. "

"Amy has seriously been the biggest blessing in mine and my husbands life the past few months. She helped us sell our house in Clyde (we closed yesterday). Throughout the whole process, she was super informative, answered every single question we had no matter how stupid it was, & kept us up to date on every single thing going on. I'm pretty sure we talked to Amy pretty much everyday. She was super organized & always had everything put together nicely. When we were thinking about renting, we were having a hard time finding something that we liked & would accept our pets, so when we decided buying was going to be our best option, we knew we wanted to work with Amy again. I told her what we were wanting/needing for our family of four & she kept all of that in mind when suggesting houses. Anytime I found a house online, I would message her & she would give me the status of it & ask if I wanted to go look at it. We found a home we love & I'm super excited. "
-Tara Martin, Client
"Brandi, with the Brandi smith team is hands down the best realtor you to choose as far as I'm concerned. She doesn't just treat you like a client she treats you as if you're childhood best friends. She goes to bat for you and makes sure you get everything you can possibly get out of your home. I 100000% recommend Brandi. We love her!! "

-Michael Burns, Friend

A special thanks to Amy for all the help !"
-Judy Gibson, Client
"We used Amy Wolf to sell our home. She was great during the whole process! She kept us up to date on everything. She answered any questions we had and was available whenever we needed her.

We are using Amy again for the purchase of our new home and will use her for anything else in the future."
-Bo Martin, Client
"As first time home buyers, I have no idea how we would've made it through the entire process of buying a home without Sammy Guerrero and the entire team! They did an amazing job at keeping us in the loop every step of the way! They communicated very effectively and kept our best interests in mind. Sammy never made us feel like we were bothering him. He answered any and all questions with a smile on his face! He was very easy to talk to and boy does he know his stuff! He's also very professional! I'm so happy we chose him as our realtor! He represents the Brandi Smith Team wonderfully! Thank you so much!"
-Katherine Jimenez , Client
"Chloe Dillard is a great realtor. She helped me through one of the biggest decisions that you can make in your lifetime. We found the perfect house and everything that could go wrong did, but she kept me positive and helped me find a new home that was ever better than the first. She answers all questions that I had and just an awesome person. "
-Amy Seals, Client
"Brandi has been my realtor since 2010 and has sold 3 homes for me in less than 45 days each! She is very organized with the sell of homes and knows the market extremely well! She my only listens to me but is able to get showings and advertise appropriately in order to attract the proper buys! Brandi has also helped me buy all of the homes that she has sold for me and knows exactly what I want when I tell her, very good at hearing you and finding you that perfect home!! She now has my current home listed for me due to a move! I have no doubt she will get the job done perfectly! Best realtor in town by far! I recommend her a thousand times over! Thanks for all you do!!!"
-Brooke Walker, Client
"This review may be long, haha!! Well, we met Brandi in 2009 when we first moved to Abilene and were looking to buy a home. It was our first home buying experience and she made it seem so easy and fun.. We fell in love with our home and were through the process very quick.. after so many years of renting it out (due to moving away for military purposes) we were finally ready to try to sell our home.. we were very stressed and worried about this process for the main fact that we live in NC and could not be there.. I turned straight to Brandi and she made me feel more confident about selling our home.. I can not say enough on how much she helped us out."
-Britni Pena, Client
"We were so ready to move out of our apartment..after talking with Chloe Dillard for some time about renting we ended up staying in our apartment for another year, we loved working with Chloe so much, that when that year was up we came to her to help us find our first home. She made things so easy and stress free. She helped us find home that we love, and helped us get a great deal in the process. We feel sorry for any other agent we may use in the future, because Chloe set the bar about as high as anyone could, guess we will have to keep working with her :)"
-Michael Pence, Client
"Absolutely had the best experience with Chloe. We had a rough start due to issues beyond her control. But she stuck with us and helped make things right. We love our home and so glad she used all her big guns to help secure our loan. She was always there day and night to answer questions and assure me things would be good."
-Kaci Polk, Client
"I could not have imagined that the process of selling and buying a home could go so smoothly, but I know it was thanks to Chloe Dillard! She took care of everything for us, even though she had her baby during the process! Talk about amazing. Our house was off the market in two days and we were able to purchase a home that we are absolutely in love with. We knew we were in good hands and trusted her judgement completely. I would highly recommend Chloe to anyone looking to buy or sell their home!!"
-Sarah Diaz, Client
"Being a first time home buyer she made the process extremely easy she was very knowledgeable great negotiator had a small bump in the road with the lender and she was right on top of it could not be more happier with the services she provided"
-Jeremy Stahlnecker, Client
"Bought and sold with Brandi! She is without a doubt the absolute best in the business! She was professional, courteous and hard working! She knows the market better than anyone and will work hard and be available to make sure you get what you're looking for! I recommend her 100%!!!"
-Adam Kirby , Client
"Brandi and her team are amazing to work with and they get the job done, quickly! Highly recommend them!"
-Casie Casey, Client
"Brandi and her team were absolutely amazing to work with. This is the second time we have used Brandi in the last six years. Sindy and I will absolutely recommend them to our friends. "

If you got severely burned and think you can handle the insurance or another claim by yourself, beware. Insurance adjusters and HR departments love it when you don't have a lawyer and take you for a sucker or a "dupe."
They have no qualms about stringing you along and waiting out the clock for the statute of limitations to expire. So what is a "statute of limitations" for a burn claim? Glad you asked and the answers are below for your consumption.

USA Has Announced Chelation Therapy as Safe and Effective for Heart Disease and Diabetes
Dr. Gervasio Lamas, MD was the lead investigator of "Trials to 'Assess Chelation Therapy" [TACT] (photo adopted from Internet. March 28,2014)
Dr. Arturo V. Estuita, MD, Filipino internist and chelationist, with Ms. Eva Data who is having infusion chelation therapy
I used principles and anecdotes from this book as bases for going into chelation therapy to treat chest pain, hypertension and prevent heart attack
No longer by anecdotes but by double blind study that chelation therapy is proven as safe and effective
Chelation therapy has been proven safe and effective for heart diseases by the National Institutes of Health (The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute) of the United States with a double blind randomized experimental design.
As a consumer currently undergoing infusion chelation therapy I welcome the news about this therapy. It is being used by alternative medicine to erode or dissolve plaque in heart arteries to treat myocardial ischemia or heart disease. It is non-invasive and not traumatic.
Double blind is a statistical design in conducting research where neither the doctor who administers treatment nor the patient knows who among the patients belongs in the treatment group or control group. Double blind is a gold standard in testing drugs. The anecdotal method is by observation of individual patients and testimony of patients. My testimony that chelation therapy has improved my heart health is anecdotal. I am not a participant of a double blind study. There are exceptions to the double blind design yet the drug is still safe and effective. One example is the development of the killed poliovirus vaccine by Dr. Jonas Salk and his team in 1948-1955.
The NIH study is called "Trials to assess chelation therapy" or TACT.
Eligibility of volunteers to TACT
- age 50 years or older
- documented myocardial ischemia greater than 5 months before
- creatinine less than 2.0 (this shows that the kidneys are healthy to clear the solution from the body)
- no revascularization (angioplasty or bypass surgery) or heart failure within 6 months
- no cigarette smoking within 3 months
- signed informed consent
Improvement with TACT
Record of those who were given chelation therapy versus patients in the control group (given water and glucose). Reference: TACT: A research result on EDTA treatment (chelation therapy). Internet. March 27,2014
- 6 fewer death
- 15 fewer heart attacks
- 3 fewer strokes
- 27 fewer revascularization surgeries
Treatment solution
The solution drips from a bottle, flows down through a flexible small tube to a pediatric needle that is inserted to an artery. Solution goes directly to the blood stream.
- 3 gram EDTA or less, based on GFR
- Vitamin C, MgCl (magnesium chloride), KCl (potassium chloride), bicarb, procaine, heparin
- B1, B6, pantothenic acid, to 500 cc with sterile water
- No oral nutriceuticals except multivitamins were in the study
- Placebo infusion - 6 gm dextrose per week
Study description
- 1,708 patients (different groups were given true chelation solution and placebo, that is, water and glucose)
- 55,222 infusions (infusion is also called session)
- 134 sites in USA and Canada
- 40 treatments (40 sessions per patient).
- Randomized, double blind
[For example, my chelation therapy program consists of 45 sessions.]
Primary end point and sample size
- Composite of death, stroke, MI (myocardial infarction or heart attack), new revascularization (necessity of new surgery for angioplasty or bypass surgery), hospitalization for angina (chest pain)
- Original plan 2372 patients, follow up for 1 year or more, 85% power to detect a 25% difference. (Follow up ended in October 2011).
- There were 222 cardiac events (26.5%) in the EDTA group and 261 (30.0%) in the placebo groups
- This was a statistically significant difference with a P-value of 0.036
- The largest difference came in the need for subsequent cardiac revascularization [27 fewer in the group given EDTA]
- The longer the patients were followed, the greater the difference between the treated and the placebo groups [That means those treated with EDTA got better through time]
Important sub-group: diabetics
Another beneficial side effect of chelation therapy is that a lot of patients who were also suffering from diabetes got well of diabetes.
Diabetic patients given EDTA had 35 fewer cardiac events than those with placebo (39% reduction). P-value of 0.002. [The difference is statistically significant.]
Criticism and counter
The TACT study was criticized by Dr. Steven Nissen, a long-time opponent of chelation therapy.
"These findings were unexpected by cardiologists, who have long disparaged EDTA chelation therapy," according to Dr. Elmer Cranton, MD (TACT Study by NIH of EDTA Chelation Therapy Proves Highly Significant Benefits. Internet. March 27,2014).
Attempt to block TACT
Some proponents of conventional medicine and Big Pharma attempted to block TACT. A complaint about TACT was filed and US Congress halted it to conduct a hearing. This hearing caused a delay of three months. Such delay spurred some American volunteers to withdraw their consent to TACT. Congress found the charges against TACT unwarranted. The withdrawals posed a threat of discontinuance to TACT. Who came in to the rescue? Several Canadians volunteered for TACT; they substantially replaced those Americans who withdrew.
The withdrawals were made the bases of the final attempt to discredit TACT. During the presentation of results a criticism was lodged that there was unblinding owing to the withdrawals. However, there was still enough number of volunteers up until the end of infusions and follow up period in March 2011 that ensured statistical soundness of TACT.
Results presentation
Results of the TACT study were presented at a meeting of the American Heart Association held in Los Angeles, California on November 4,2012. The presentor was Dr. Gervasio Lamas, MD, the principal investigator.
"...This randomized, placebo-controlled study of 1,708 patients showed that intravenous disodium EDTA chelation therapy decreased subsequent cardiac events with statistical significance when compared to a control group of similar patients who received placebo" according to Dr. Elmer Cranton MD in his blog updated on March 7,2014. Dr. Cranton is author of books on chelation therapy, one of them is Bypassing Bypass" (A new technique of chelation therapy).
[Statistical significance in this study means that the chelation solution is the cause of improvement in the heart condition of patients. It is not by chance that the patients who were given the true chelation solution got well.].
"...Chelation therapy (is) shown to be safe, without any serious side effects. Patients experienced increasing benefits during the time that they were studied – up to five years thus far," added Dr. Cranton.
The study costs US$30 million, sponsored by the National Institutes of Health, The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute
My anecdote confirms TACT
TACT was launched in 2002 the same year when I was hospitalized. My cardiologist gave a prognosis that I am a candidate for coronary bypass surgery. i resisted going under the knife. I did not have enough money. I heard that the procedure is traumatic with a mortality rate of 2 to 5%. Besides I was ignorant about heart disease. I decided to take my own advice. By 2004 I already had a second hand copy of the book "Bypassing Bypass." This book made me realize the emergence of another theory of disease aside from the germ theory. It is the "free radical theory of disease" which I coined Free radicals and reactive oxygen species cause disease. It is a concept that conventional medicine has not taken into consideration or has rejected. Such snobbery or rejection I suspect is not owing to science but owing to profits.
As I went deeper into free radicals I found that they cause more diseases for which conventional medicine has failed to find treatment or cure: cancer, arthritis, lupus, motor neuron disease or Lou Gehrig disease and more. I also proceeded to look for a chelationist in the Philippines because I could not afford to go to the United States for chelation. I stumbled upon a medicinal plant that operates within the free radical theory of disease, noni in Polynesian or apatot in Pilipino, called Morinda citrifolia in science. It is abundant in Haiti, the Pacific islands including the Philippines. My literature research had become extensive that covered a lot of diseases in addition to heart disease. I decided to write a book to share these pieces of information. By 2008 my book "Benefits Derived from PhilNONI" was published
Chelation therapy operates under the free radical theory of disease as heart disease starts with atheroma, a benign tumor caused by free radicals or reactive oxygen species.
By 2008 I found a Filipino chelationist. I started my intravenous (IV) chelation therapy in 2009. Instead of coronary bypass surgery, I opted for IV chelation therapy based on the book "Bypassing Bypass" updated second edition (1995) by Elmer Cranton, MD. I knew that the bases of this book were anecdotal from over 400,000 patients given chelation therapy who got well. But I was more comfortable with the risk with this alternative medicine than with that of bypass surgery or angioplasty.
I take note of the fact that the disodium EDTA solution being applied on me is of the same formulation applied in the above study, called "Trial to Assess Chelation Therapy" or TACT for short.
I had my 42nd IV chelation therapy on March 17,2014. The bulk of my chelation sessions, 30 sessions, were done in 2010. I cannot complete my chelation program of 45 session soon enough owing to financial reasons. One session of therapy in the Philippines costs Php 5,300.00.
There are two forms of the therapy: infusion and oral. However, the infusion is more effective than the oral because the chelation solution goes direct to the arteries where the plaques or occlusions are located. This is the opinion of Dr. Arturo V. Estuita, MD, Filipino internist and chelationist, who is administering my chelation treatment.
Conventional medication
I was on medication under conventional medicine since my discharge from the hospital in April 2002. Prescriptions were: 80 mg aspirin daily; nitroglycerin (Imdur 500 mg one tablet per day and Isordil under the tongue in case of angina episode); losartan for hypertension; and 30 mg calcium channel blocker every 8 hours. For two years I was taking Imdur then my doctor stopped it. Aspirin was reduced to 30 mg going into the third year. By middle of third year I stopped taking aspirin because some fresh blood were seen in my urine. I also felt weaker. My cardiologist could not explain why. I did my own literature research and found out that aspirin induces internal bleeding. I stopped taking aspirin on my own advice up until now. However, my health was not improving. My conventional cardiologist kept urging me to go for either angioplasty or bypass surgery.
Why was Imdur stopped? My doctor said I no longer needed it. I attribute it to my taking PhilNONI that contains noni juice. It has 64 medicinal ingredients one of which is arginine. This amino acid is acted upon by endothelium nitric oxide synthase resulting in the production of nitric oxide. This is a dilator, the same free radical used by the endothelium (inner wall of artery) to signal the production of nitric oxide. Recently it was found that nitroglycerin produces nitric oxide (by Robert Futchgott, Ferid Murad and Louis Ignarro who shared the Nobel Prize in Medicine). So noni was substituting for Imdur in the production of nitric oxide. I told my cardiologist I was taking noni but he ignored it.
Results of my chelation
Before I went into infusion chelation therapy I had frequent episodes of angina pectoris (chest pain), hypertension, fatigue, high risk of heart attack, and anxiety (that has a complication of hypoglycemia). The 2-dimensional echocardiography showed my heart muscles are healthy. So it was at least one occluded heart artery that was responsible for my heart disease. The occlusion must have blocked at least 75% of the diameter of an artery that brought on my angina. I quit smoking in 1990 but I was still drinking beer.
Based on symptoms i experienced I decided that I did not need to go through thread mill stress test or angiogram (which does damage to the kidney). Angiogram is not required in chelation therapy.
After my 38th chelation session, Dr. Estuita gave me these diagnoses: blood pressure back to normal, possibility of heart attack eliminated, episodes of angina gone. (This is easy for me to observe; I no longer keep reserves of nitroglycerin). I have recovered strength that I could write more on politics including philosophy. As of now I have written 35 articles for Triond.com and 228 articles (as of this writing) for conradofontanilla.hubpages.com. I am a content writer and editor at a new website on stem cell, http://www.stemcell101.com. I write when I have the urge. I type directly into the computer at about 50 words per minute.
Of course, writing involves perusal of literature, thinking through and typing. A brain cell consumes 7.5 times the energy consumed by a muscle cell. Thinking puts to the test my strength.
I still have hypoglycemia; it takes time to counter this syndrome. I am sure I will lick it because my anxiety is gone. I exercise more vigorously now to reduce my weight which resulted from eating more frequent small meals to counter hypoglycemia. I have revised my book on noni, have compiled my political articles on the Philippines into a book which I intend to publish soon.
Of course, I have changed my life style. No more beer. No more coffee. I am into a combined diet recommended by Dr. Dean Ornish, MD in his book (Dr. Dean Ornish Program for Reversing Heart Disease) and by Dr. Cranton in his book "Bypassing Bypass." For example, Dr. Cranton gives tips on how not to turn chicken egg into bad cholesterol: poach it.
I am now 66 years old but my physical therapist says she feels my skin and muscles like I were 55 years old. Photos of me were taken although external appearance only partially shows well being.
Hubs on chelation therapy by conradofontanilla:
Conrad (author) and Dr. Arturo V. Estuita, MD, photo taken just before my first chelation therapy session. I was still catching my breathe.
My photo taken just after my 42nd chelation session with a 4 megapixel cellphone camera
I know a couple of people who took chelation therapy and they live to tell the tale. It's nice to know that the USA -NIH deems it safe and effective. In the Philippines it's a more affordable alternative. I also like the fact that it prevents strokes. This is a topic worth investigating, now that it has been declared safe by the USA-NIH. Good hub.

May 1, 2015
Looking for an activity to incorporate NGSS standards and engineering principles?
Using PASCO's technology tools such as PASPORT sensors and SPARKvue® software, students will be able to quickly design experiments, collect data, and effectively apply and understand scientific and engineering practices.
Here's a quick breakdown of how PASCO sensors and equipment can help meet NGSS requirements:
NGSS Performance Expectations and PASCO Sensors and Apparatus - Elementary School
NGSS Performance Expectations and PASCO Sensors and Apparatus - Middle School
A practical example of incorporating the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS*) is an application of Newton's Third Law. In this performance expectation, students apply Newton's Third Law to design a solution to a problem that involves the motion of two colliding objects. One application of this performance expectation is to have students design bumpers and test their effectiveness with a Force Sensor.
Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that when we push or pull an object, the object pulls or pushes with the same amount of force as we do. The application of the force, however, is in the opposite direction to the force we are applying.
To investigate this concept, use a Force Sensor, a Cart and Track, and a Collision Bracket. The bumpers that your students design can be made from materials you have on hand in the classroom. Suggested materials are paper, clay, rubber stoppers, packing peanuts, pipettes, and springs. Students may need scissors to design the bumpers and tape to fasten them to the carts.
Before designing their bumpers, students will need to observe this concept in action, so they can appreciate the interaction of forces in a collision. They can experience this by joining two Force Sensors together (using a rubber band or spring) and alternately pulling the sensors apart and then relaxing them, so the sensors come back together again. Plotting the measurement of the pull of one sensor and the push of the other on a multi-y line graph produces a graph that looks like this.
Students benefit from this experience as they see in real-time how the forces that are involved are both opposite but equal to one another. Using the analysis tools provides additional evidence for this concept, as students will note that the minimum force exerted by one Force Sensor is the maximum force exerted by the other. Once students understand this foundational principle, they are ready to work with the cart and track.
First, have students attach the bracket to the end of the track. Next, have them attach the Force Sensor with the rubber bumper attachment to the bracket. Then set the track on a slight incline, so that the cart will roll into the Force Sensor. The collision is a sudden event, so set SPARKvue's sampling rate to 200 Hz. Once this is done, students can collect data as the car rolls down the ramp and hits the Force Sensor.
SPARKvue software allows students to analyze their data and to write notes on each data run. With no bumper the force of the collision was 20.6 N. At this point students will be eager to build their bumpers, but it is a good idea to have them describe how Newton's Third Law is shown by the event, which will bring to mind the disciplinary core idea they are exploring. At this point in the experiment, SPARKvue's assessment tools can help you check student understanding.
Now the fun begins! Students will design and test bumpers to see how they perform. The goal for their bumper, as it is for car and truck bumpers, is to reduce the impact force, which reduces the chance of injury and lessens damage to the vehicle. Bumpers that reduce the maximum force below that of using no bumper should be considered successful.
Since data collection with sensors is quick, students will have time to test a variety of materials, and they can even make improvements on their designs. Giving students time to reflect on how effective their bumpers are and the opportunity to rebuild and test their new designs is also an effective way to address the engineering standards in the NGSS.

Eyes Home > Timolol Dosage
Before prescribing a timolol dosage, your healthcare provider will consider several factors, such as the particular product, the medical condition being treated, and any other medical conditions you have. If you are using the tablet form, make sure to not suddenly stop taking them, as serious problems (such as heart attacks) may occur.
Dosing With Timolol: An IntroductionThe dose of timolol (Betimol®, Blocadren®, Istalol®, Timoptic®) your healthcare provider recommends will vary, depending on a number of factors, including:
- The particular product
- The medical condition being treated
- How you respond to the drug
- Other medications you are taking
- Other medical conditions you have.
As is always the case, do not adjust this amount unless your healthcare provider specifically instructs you to do so.
Dose of Timolol TabletsFor most people, the starting timolol dosage when using the tablets to treat high blood pressure is 10 mg twice daily. If necessary, your healthcare provider may increase this amount up to a maximum of 60 mg total per day, split up into two smaller doses per day.
The recommended starting dose of timolol for migraine prevention is timolol 10 mg twice daily. Once your migraines are under control, your healthcare provider may recommend taking this as just a single dose per day (20 mg once daily). Also, if necessary, your healthcare provider may decrease this to 10 mg per day or increase it to a maximum of 30 mg per day.
The recommended timolol dosage for reducing the risk of death or repeat heart attacks in people who have survived a heart attack is 10 mg twice daily.
As with all beta blockers, you should not abruptly stop taking the tablets, as serious problems (including heart attacks) may result. Your healthcare provider will advise you about how to safely stop taking this medication.
People are usually recommended to slowly reduce the dose over a period of time, with careful monitoring. It is best to minimize physical activity during this period. Let your healthcare provider know if you develop chest pain or any other problems while stopping the drug.

Every now and then I think it's a good idea to review some of the best and worst resume tips out there so read on for some random thoughts!
Some of the best:
Brighten up your resume with a pop of color. This little trick can have a huge impact and get your reader to take notice. It can be as simple as using color for your name or section headings. Don't go overboard though; no one wants to read an entire resume in hot pink!
Don't be afraid to use something other than the standard resume format. You know which one I'm talking about! Everything centered, standard heading titles, all the info in the same order. You want to grab the attention of your reader and if you hit them with something a little unexpected you've immediately made yourself stand out.
Pair a pop of color with an untraditional format and you will hit them with a double whammy!
Do not send a generic resume to a multitude of job openings. If you care at all about being successful in your job search you will spend the extra time preparing a resume that is specific to every position you apply to. I think this may be the single most important thing you can do. This does not mean a complete rewrite of your resume but simply integrating keywords from the job description, aligning your profile with the requirements of the job, or highlighting the skills and experience that apply most to the position.
Highlight your accomplishments! Too many people simply list the tasks they performed at their previous positions. If you want to 'WOW' a prospective employer you have to show them what you did beyond the typical requirements of the job.
Oversaw vendor selection, managed purchase orders and invoices, and coordinated deliveries.
Improved on-time deliveries from 85% to 96% by developing a purchasing system that streamlined vendor lists, generated automatic purchase orders, and provided invoice tracking.
It is all too common for someone to say they had no accomplishments or they just 'did their job' but everyone has something they have accomplished. It just takes some thought and being able to put aside any thoughts that you have done nothing of importance in your career.
Ok, now for the worst:
You should list every position you have ever held. No! Doing this will not make you appear more experienced. This is especially true for shall we say, mature job seekers. Do not allow your resume to age you. If you are including positions from 30 years ago you run the risk of being judged. They may assume you are too old, would require a higher salary than someone younger, be unable to work for a younger boss, or not be up to the requirements of the job. But what if you have some amazing accomplishments from early in your career? You can still work them into your resume. Consider including a section for accomplishments. This way you can still get the benefit of showcasing your achievements without tying it to a specific position from way back when.
Make your resume more personal by including your hobbies and special interests. Please don't! Your resume is not the place for this. I have seen some crazy stuff included on resumes and I can tell you that they will not have the effect you were hoping for; rather it will be the opposite. If it is something that will enhance your value I would say to include it. For example, if you are a member of Toastmasters and the job requires public speaking you should include it. If you were the State Fair Dairy Princess, I would leave it off.
Include your picture on your resume. This goes along with the previous one. Many job seekers believe putting a face to the resume will help them appear as more than a piece of paper. I do have to admit I have seen resumes with photos and I didn't completely hate them. However, I would say that this is the exception and not the rule. Generally, your resume is not the place for your face. With LinkedIn and other social media sites your photo is already out there so therefore there is no need to also include it on your resume.
The longer the better when it comes to your resume. Not true! (However, many international job seekers do benefit from a longer CV which is different from the standard resume.) When it comes to your resume I would recommend you keep it to two pages. Some careers may require a bit more but typically for the average job seeker a one to two page resume will suffice. Don't bore your reader with a resume that includes every task from every position you've ever held. Keep it relevant to the job you are applying for. Also, don't try to cram two pages of info onto one page because you believe one page is best. This will make your resume appear overcrowded and hard to read. Similarly, don't try and stretch a resume to two pages. If you don't have the info to fill two pages keep it to one. Additionally, you should not leave a partially filled second page. It should fill the page completely.
Wow, this turned out a bit longer than I anticipated. Guess that goes to show there are a lot of resume tips out there – both good and bad, and it never hurts to review them now and then to keep up on what works and what doesn't.

(1) What type of lifting will we be doing?
Olympic lifting consists of the Snatch, Clean and Jerk. Programming will include several variations of these lifts along with accessory exercises to build overall strength. Expect to see lots of squats, presses, deadlifts, and single arm/leg exercises to accompany your traditional Olympic lifts. Don't expect to see any high intensity conditioning!
(2) Where should I be doing my programming and when can I do it?
Programming can be done any time the gym is open. We ask you to use and share the platforms while completing programming.
(3) Will the programming be posted on Wodify?
Yes! The whole week of programming will be posted every Sunday so you can figure out your training schedule for the week. If you want to access the programming, change the "Program" in Wodify to "Barbell."
(4) How do I know how many days of work I should be completing?
Depending on your skill level, experience, and training schedule, some of you will complete 3 days a week while others will complete 4 days a week. We advise you to ask any one of our Barbell Coaches to find out which program is best for you.
Any of the programming days that show "A" is for 3 days/week lifters while any programming that shows either "A" or "B" is for 4 days/week lifters.
(5) Can I do Depot Barbell and CrossFit?
If your goal is to compete and train as a weightlifter, then we ask you to follow the Barbell programming strictly and limit your CrossFit sessions to a minimum. If you want to supplement Barbell to improve your CrossFit, we advise you to complete the "A" programming and supplement the other days you train with CrossFit or QuickHIIT.
(6) Can I train two sessions in a day?
We do not recommend training 2 sessions/day as it can be hard on the body and increase the chance of injuries.
(7) Can I do Barbell and hop into the CrossFit WOD?
You may not enter a CrossFit class if it has already started. In order to participate in a CrossFit workout, you must attend from the start of the class. Please also note that if you have a "Barbell Only" membership, you do not have access to CrossFit classes. If you'd like to upgrade your membership to include CrossFit, please speak with our front desk manager.
(8) What if I don't know what an exercise listed in the programming is?
The majority of exercises listed in the programming will be exercises you have done in a CrossFit class. In the rare instance that you are unfamiliar with an exercise, we will provide a short clip that demonstrates the movement listed. You can also e-mail or chat with any of our coaches at any time!
(9) What's the difference between Depot's Olympic Lifting class and Depot Barbell?
Depot Echo Park's former Olympic Weightlifting program on Wednesdays was a group class that involved a warm-up, instruction, and lifting. The class occurred once a week and programming would be varied.
Depot's new Barbell program is not taught in a traditional class setting. The programming is meant to be done on an athlete's own time, and involves a very detailed structure to maximize an athlete's potential. In order to improve in weightlifting, athletes need to lift consistently while following a regimented program. Finally, while Barbell may not be a traditional class, we do offer a one-hour coach-supervised session each day where athletes can show, review, and improve their technique with a Depot coach.
(10) Do I have to sign-in to Barbell on Wodify?
We've set aside several hours during the week where athletes can receive instruction and coaching on the lifts they are doing for the day. For these specific coach-supervised hours, you must sign yourself into Wodify under "Barbell." In order to maximize the amount of time you are being coached, we ask that you come in early and get yourself warmed up and ready to lift. You can start lifting at anytime during this hour.
As we see the program grow, we plan to add additional Depot Barbell Coaching hours.

With a day to study before exams begin, our whole class seems to have been looking for ways to avoid studying. From baking to social activities to a Facebook discussion of the opportunities for arbitrage in red curry futures, pretty much everyone had a technique. Here's my own form of procrastination: an ode to Fall 2 and finals, set to the tune of the pop song and meme generator, "Call Me Maybe." Continue reading "Finals Week at SOM: An Ode to Fall 2"

Take Some 'Me Time' This Holiday Season
The current holiday celebrations, extensive to-do-lists and family gatherings is usually a hectic time of the year for many. But this year we can expect it to be even worse.
Whether you are battling the crazy crowds at the mall doing your last minute shopping, or trying to find a way to inform co-workers or family that you don't particular enjoy holiday gatherings, or simply dealing with the stress of trying to do it all and be perfect at it, things are going to be just a bit more difficult this year with the incoming energy of Mercury Retrograde.

Managing Emotions With Jupiter In Scorpio
So much has transpired since the Summer eclipse season, which brought upon us lots of change and dramatic events.
Many people experienced traumatic situations, or began to question their purpose, which triggered a storm of emotions for some. While some are handling these changes well, it is overwhelming for others, because the energies are currently much more intense, and somewhat imbalanced.
With Jupiter now in Scorpio, for the next year, a lot of stuff will come to the surface on a personal and political level, which may be a little painful, but necessary to help create positive change. Continue reading

Seen above is a picture of an incredibly valuable resource, the EPA Greenhouse Gas Emissions website that objectively monitors the output of CO2 and other GH gases produced by 9 different types of facilities (Power Plants, Petroleum & Natural Gas Systems, Refineries, Chemicals, Other, Minerals, Metals and Pulp & Paper) in scientific fashion, something that may go away under the aegis of the Trump administration.
To whit.
AT 10 AM the Saturday before inauguration day, on the sixth floor of the Van Pelt Library at the University of Pennsylvania, roughly 60 hackers, scientists, archivists, and librarians were hunched over laptops, drawing flow charts on whiteboards, and shouting opinions on computer scripts across the room. They had hundreds of government web pages and data sets to get through before the end of the day—all strategically chosen from the pages of the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration—any of which, they felt, might be deleted, altered, or removed from the public domain by the incoming Trump administration.
Their undertaking, at the time, was purely speculative, based on travails of Canadian government scientists under the Stephen Harper administration, which muzzled them from speaking about climate change. Researchers watched as Harper officials threw thousands of books of aquatic data into dumpsters as federal environmental research libraries closed.
But three days later, speculation became reality as news broke that the incoming Trump administration's EPA transition team does indeed intend to remove some climate data from the agency's website. That will include references to President Barack Obama's June 2013 Climate Action Plan and the strategies for 2014 and 2015 to cut methane, according to an unnamed source who spoke with Inside EPA. "It's entirely unsurprising," said Bethany Wiggin, director of the environmental humanities program at Penn and one of the organizers of the data-rescuing event.
WhiteHouse.gov immediately wiped pages on LGBT rights, civil rights, climate change, and health care from its "issues" section after Donald Trump took the oath of office.
The page on climate change was replaced with a page entitled "An America First Energy Plan" that ignores climate change entirely and says, "President Trump is committed to eliminating harmful and unnecessary policies such as the Climate Action Plan and the Waters of the U.S. rule."
Who controls the past, controls the future. Who controls the present, controls the past.George Orwell - 1984

Other Interests...lol
Specifically, the HESCH family tree. Wanna see something COOL?
That's the name Johann Hesch, written in SUTTERLIN , the old script used in church record books in Bohemia way back when. This is from an entry in Cimer, Bohemia, in 1839. Yes, it looks like hnpf, but the vertical stroke of the "p" is actually an s, the bump is c, and the f-looking letter is h. Honest!
Evidently, about 1200, German families were encouraged to go settle that part of Europe, since it was now under the control of a German guy.
I'm not sure when Hesches moved there, but we found two in the mid-1600's, so it was at least 250 years before they emmigrated to the US.
You'd think that they would have assimilated in that time, right? But Nooo, the two ethnic groups didn't particularly care for each other, and stayed separate as much as possible.
There were German churches in German towns, and Czech churches in Czech towns, and since the CHURCH did the recording of births and marriages and deaths, that's where we're looking.
The biggest problem is reading the handwriting of whatever priest was stationed there at the time. The records are a mix of German, Czech and liturgical Latin. Depending on the year, they're more, or less, decipherable.
AMAZING that those records are online, right?
The Czech government is digitizing them even as we speak. Village by village, new old books are showing up on this site: SOA v TREBONI and we only need to wait till they get to the H's...lol
According to their index, the town we need is Dolní Žďár (Nieder-Mühl), which is in the Jindřichův Hradec region, close to Horní Pěna, where the German church was.
What fascinates me the most is that some solitary priest wrote those names on the day a child was baptized, or a marriage took place, or someone died. Then, he closed the book, blew out the candle and went to bed, thinking that was it.....
The books stayed on some shelf for 2 or 3 hundred years, and now, in 2008, they're being re-discovered and distributed by something as bizarre as the internet.
AND, they're doing CATHOLIC records in exactly the part of Bohemia we need! Those Hesches needed discovering, I guess, so I'd stop thinking they wanted to forget.
BTW, if you want to see a page in those Treboni records, click a letter on the left, fer instance C....when that comes up, click Cimer...and you'll get a chart of something called Kniha which means Book.
N is births, O is marriages, and Z is deaths. The index books are at the bottom, and you have to "page around" to find the H's (they're..ahem..in alphabetical order...lol) and that'll give you a snimek (page) number you'll need to find in the appropriate Kniha.
The Kniha are by year, ok?
Gawd, this is FUN!

They're GRAND kids!!
"You honestly think I made that mess??"
OK, it was a little humid last night, but just look at all those curls! For a few minutes, Mase had a Mohawk, but then, it curled...awww!
I brought a kalidescope for KQ, but she was most interested in the plastic tube it came in. Mason's just waiting for his chance at it, here...lol

Profound thoughts just before sleep
Okay, so maybe it's one reason then.

More baby pics...ok?
Leggies just like her mom had...long and skinny :^) LOL!
Sunday, June 01, 2008
Yeah, she CAN hold her head up, and she's not even 24 hours old...and she nugs like she invented it!
Her mom's doing fine, a bit sore from all that pushing (not to mention the subsequent c-section), and daddy said he spent this morning just holding her and watching her sleep.....
Life is GOOD.

As many Florida residents who have gone through a divorce know all too well, the property division phase of the proceedings can often be difficult. In many cases, the home is the most valuable asset owned by the estranged couple. While in some cases they might be able to come to an accord on their own as to how to deal with the home, in other cases a judge will make the decision for them.
Judges are always interested in what arrangements work best for the children in the family in order to maintain stability and avoid disruption. In other words, the parent who receives primary physical custody frequently retains the home, so children will not be forced to move to a new school and away from friends or nearby family members. However, a judge may not award the home to a parent who cannot afford it.
In some instances, the divorcing couple may be required by the judge to sell the property. However, this might not mean that the profit from the house sale is split down the middle. Circumstances that may alter what is awarded to each spouse can include who made the initial down payment and who paid for improvements to the home. In addition, an inherited property is more likely to stay with the party who received it, even if both parties are listed on the title.
The state of Florida follows the principle of equitable distribution when it comes to making property division determinations. This means that the court will make a decision in a manner that it deems fair. However, in some cases this could result in neither party being satisfied, so they may want to have the assistance of their respective attorneys in negotiating a settlement agreement.

"In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps." - Proverbs 16:9
Things have been quiet around me lately. I had the chance to take a few weeks off work until the end of the year and God is busting my heart wide open. I was listening to a podcast the other day and the woman being interviewed stated that, "Revelation comes from rest." This has been so true for me. When there is stillness and no hustle and bustle, you might be surprised at what God reveals to you, both good and bad.
This has been one amazing year for Destiny Unveiled and also for my own personal journey. God has stretched me greatly with speaking engagements. Something I have never EVER wanted for my life, but an area where people have spoken life into. It's been extremely uncomfortable to say the least, but that's how we grow right? He has also stirred in me this new passion for photography and videography. If you told me that this would be the year I would buy a camera and shoot small photoshoots, I would have given you the side-eye.
With this last week of the year, I have noticed this apathy grow in my heart that I haven't really liked. While God has been so kind and sweet this year, there have been some things I have pondered in my heart and disappointed that I didn't see Him move like I would have hoped. So, I'm at a crossroad. We know that the just live by faith and without faith it's impossible to please God, right? How do you reconcile walking by faith and also allowing God to be in control? I'm not sure fully, but I may be on to something.
Walking by faith is not something we muster up in ourselves. It's not some "positive vibe" that we conjure up on our own. Walking by Faith comes first by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Faith is active, it's not a passive thing. However, to walk by faith it comes from getting our marching orders from God. Not ourselves and fleeting desires.
Proverbs 16:9a (NASB) states that, "The mind of man plans their way..."
Mind translated in it's original language (Hebrew) is called leb. This is defined as our inner man, mind, will, and understanding. In other words, our mind/will has an idea of how it thinks life should go, but ultimately God is the one who establishes/prepares our steps.
"Many Christians are guilty of carrying out their own plans without depending on God's direction. They do not bathe their decisions in prayer, seek godly counsel, accept the lot into which God has cast them, or watch for the various ways God directs them. They refuse to consider all that God has revealed. The result is a life marred by anxiety and frustration." -Ligonier Ministries
Proverbs 16:9b (NASB) "...but the Lord DIRECTS their steps."
Directs translated in it's original language (Hebrew) is called kun. It is defined as establish, set up, accomplish, do, make firm, to prepare. In other words God establishes, accomplishes, makes firm and prepares our steps.
This reminded me of an illustration I heard from Priscilla Shirer a few years ago. On the set of Michael Jackson's Bille Jean music video (remember when he walks on those pre-lit steps), the director of the music video prepared the way and pre-lit the steps for him to walk on. He could have stepped anywhere, because hello it's Michael Jackson, but he followed the lead of the director's instructions.
I came to this revelation in the middle of my pity party. I love how God will speak to us when we aren't necessarily trying to hear Him. There are many things I am believing God to establish in 2018. He has given me this word to hold onto. Initially, I had the mindset of all the things I needed to do in my own strength to make it happen. Now I realize it will take being yielded, submission and literally coming to the end of myself, so that He can begin. In order for us to know which steps He has already prepared for us (Ephesians 2:10), will come from fine-tuning our discernment and allowing the Word of God to illuminate our paths.
I know a lot of planning/vision-boarding is going on currently, which is good. My prayer is that we will include God in our plans. That our Bible will be nearby and that we will soak our plans with prayer.
Reaching the end of me is a daily journey I must make because it's where Jesus shows up and my real life in Him begins. Jesus will show us that blessings and fulfillment is found in the least likely place – the end of ourselves. -Kyle Idleman
In order to see God do something in our lives that isn't the same as years past that is above and beyond, let's get out of the way so He can begin. Let Him establish your steps. This is my New Year's Resolution - Resolving NOT to do anything APART from Him.
Happy New Year, everyone!
Destiny Oribhabor

Oliver is a sweet 8 month-old All-American mutt who came into an overcrowded county dog shelter as a stray and from there, came to Canine Lifeline so he would have more time to find the perfect new home. His breed mix is really anyone's guess but perhaps there's a little Shepherd and some sort of Terrier (perhaps Jack Russell) in his family tree. Only a DNA test will reveal for sure! Oliver's on the smaller side and currently only weighs about 25 pounds so is likely to be only 35 pounds or so once full-grown. This boy is all puppy and he loves to play chase and wrestle with his fellow foster dogs so he would really enjoy having a playful canine pal in his new home. For a youngster, Oliver has done well with crate-training in his foster home so should be able to master housetraining quickly in his new home. He's a smart pup who picks up new routines quickly and is sure to impress his new family with what a sweet boy he is. Be sure to watch his videos below! His adoption fee is $250. He's neutered, heartworm negative and on monthly preventative, up to date on vaccinations including bivalent canine influenza, wormed, on flea and tick preventative, and microchipped. As part of the adoption process, all adopters must commit to a two-week adjustment period to make sure it's a great match before the adoption is finalized. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com if you're interested in Oliver. An approved application is required before we schedule meets with any of our dogs. We have no foster homes with young children so aren't comfortable placing any of them in a home with children less than 7 years of age. We try to respond to inquiries within 72 hours so if you haven't heard from us within that time frame, please check your junkmail or spam folder to make sure our reply hasn't landed in there.

Letters to the Editor
The Clintons and Haiti
I've been following coverage of the Red Cross being raked over the coals for their ineffective spending in rebuilding earthquake-ravaged Haiti. The article mentioned that "former President Bill Clinton raised millions of dollars." The Clintons — Bill, Hillary, and their Clinton Foundation — had much-much more to do with Haiti.
In his book, "Clinton Cash," author Peter Schweizer devotes a whole chapter to Clinton activities in post-earthquake Haiti. Both Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and United Nations special envoy Bill Clinton visited Haiti within days after the earthquake to inspect the damage. Bill was soon appointed co-chair of the Interim Haiti Relief Committee along with Haitian PM Jean-Max Bellerive. In this capacity he was overseeing how relief dollars were spent.
The duo had decision-making power for projects funded by both U.S. taxpayers and international organizations. U.S. aid was funneled through Hillary's State Department and its U.S. Agency for International Development. Post disaster rebuilding was big business and many Clinton friends and associates were right in the middle of it.
The Economist noted: "The strange multi-dimensional role that Mr. Clinton plays as co-chair of the IHRC, special U.N. envoy, former U.S. president, spouse of the U.S. Secretary of State, and head of his own foundation which supports projects in the country."
Five years later, Clinton fingerprints are on whatever successes or failures have been experienced in Haiti's recovery. A large amount of money has poured into Haiti but the average Haitian is not much better off for it.

Mens Lingerie
Mens lingerie is an up and coming trend in the lingerie industry, as more men search for alternatives to boring basics and look to introduce the feeling of luxury lingerie into their underwear collection.
Homme Mystere
Website: shop.hommemystere.com
Price range: $
I wouldn't be able to comment on the quality of this brands range as I have not purchased anything, however I do like that they specialise in lingerie for men and their prices is affordable for basic pieces or someone thinking about giving mens lingerie a try. Their range includes bras, knickers, suspenders and bodysuits designed with the male physique in mind.
Xdress (featured)
Website: xdress.com
Price range: $$
I really love the range of items on this site which included lingerie, robes, and cosplay for men in a great selection of colours and sizes in modern tasteful designs. Their lookbooks are well worth a browse too, as they contain some great photography and some exciting and unexpected ways to wear the product. I am tempted by their matching couples sets myself!
